Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everybody, it's Dale Jr. We're back again for another episode of the Dale Jr. Download, and this is sort of a, this is a bonus episode. We're going to have a few of these this off-season. Usually we end our year after Phoenix, but we're going to keep going. And thankfully, today, I have the most excellent co-host, my wife, Amy. Hello. Thanks for being here.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Thanks for having me. We're going to have some fun. Amy. We're going to do Ask Amy again. I'll turn my phone down now, so I'll be. All right. We're going to have Ask Amy, and it's going to be a bit of an extended version,
Starting point is 00:00:41 so we'll have plenty of time to expound and have fun. We're also going to have a bit of a Helmand's tailgate draft. Yes. In the show. And we're going to, me, Amy, Dalton, and Andrew are going to basically draft our essentials for a great tailgate. And then at the end, I guess we can critique, and score who we think did the best job.
Starting point is 00:01:07 We're going to have the fans rate how we all did too. Of course. You guys are going down. I got a good list. That's good because nobody would win. Dale would declare himself the winner. We also have Dirty Modo with Alex Thames later in the show. And I'll go ahead and say we haven't been doing very well with our parleyes for our Thursday night games.
Starting point is 00:01:28 And hopefully, you know, not too many people are suffering from our birthday. bad advice, but... It's almost like we're not experts. Surely they learn their lesson by now. Yeah. So, at your own risk. The, we have, we will be doing, we'll be doing a parlay for the Monday night, Houston, Dallas game. It's an all Texas affair.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And so, we've got some pretty, pretty decent ideas. I'm having fun, you know, win or lose. But, and then after that, we're going to have the white flag as well. so just a great show. We're going to have some fun. Let's have some fun, y'all. A couple of items before we get in to ask Amy. Did anybody watch the fight?
Starting point is 00:02:15 Nope. Unfortunately. I did not. Yeah, the Tyson fight. You did? Oh, yeah. Watch the whole thing. I saw everything.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I was going to say, unfortunately, I didn't. But it sounds like I'm glad I didn't. There was a full moon out at the fight, that's for sure. I saw the way in. That was enough for me. Yeah, he was. The high tide at the beach. was more exciting than the Tyson fight.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Yeah. One thing that's pretty cool is I remember to say, to even say, did you watch the Tyson fight? Yeah. Because you did not give a shit who the other guy was. And I think even though we kind of know he was fighting more of the Paul brothers, it's still the Tyson fight. The guy is 60 years old, 58, I guess, to be exact.
Starting point is 00:03:00 and honestly man he looked pretty damn good for a 58 year old man to get in that ring and go at it obviously his legs weren't as strong or his knees a little bad and he's moving a little slow couldn't really do what he wanted to he couldn't do you could tell while I watched quite a bit of the fight you could tell he couldn't do what he wanted to do like his mind wanted him to do different things like instincts almost kicked in I think fit to cut the ring off
Starting point is 00:03:29 to try to, you know, even to really kind of, you know, set up a punch was, his legs really couldn't get himself in position for his upper body to accomplish what needed to happen. And so, I mean, I think maybe there's some people that are kind of frustrated. If you had a Netflix subscription, it was there, right? Yeah, I didn't have, I mean, I wasn't going to spend 50 bucks for this thing, but it was already on TV. I'd already paid for it.
Starting point is 00:03:59 through my subscription with Netflix. So I didn't feel too sitting there watching how bad it was. And then they kind of realized, I think, really early that yeah, nobody needs to get hurt here. They're like, let's not kill Mike Tyson
Starting point is 00:04:13 on like TV. Yeah, you know. Could have just hit him in the head as many times as he wanted to. And I saw Mike's social media post fight. He's like, hey man, I won not the fight technically, but I won because I got to get in there. I felt great about what I did.
Starting point is 00:04:29 kids got to see that whole process his kids are you know older and and um ah you know I'm good with it I wasn't too uh I wasn't too frustrated at all really I and I didn't know what I don't know what I expected right when I when they got to fight and I'm like who the hell was I to imagine that Mike Tyson could actually knock this guy out this is not happening yeah like did anyone really think he was going to win I think that his response no what like to himself went like third person who was I to think I could get it that was my response to shoot. I'm sitting, well, anyway, yeah, it's not a good man's sake to have going in. I live in a fantasy world where I thought, damn, Mike Tyson, I hope he can knock this fool out.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I think all of us had that a little bit. And I, look, it could have been my best friend in there with Mike Tyson. I would have wanted Mike Tyson to not, whoever Mike Tyson gets in, whoever, whoever Mike Tyson gets in the ring with, I want to knock out and I want a Tyson-style ending. And because I'm, you know, because that was my childhood, we watched all. We watched all. those fights and him just be so dominant. And then I realized right away, yeah, I'm pretty foolish for having that pipe dream. The dream is dead. Yeah. And, but anyways, that was all right. You said you watched the way in. I did. I watched the way. I saw a clip on Instagram. That's how I found that. Do you believe that that slap was just genuine or is it almost like,
Starting point is 00:05:51 hey, we're going to start more? Listen, I've fully believed, you know, you think that we're just I don't know, like, in part slap attacks as a general. So it always could be staged. They could have been told to like make it a scene. And who knows. But he stepped on his foot. Did you see the clip? Oh, I didn't see that.
Starting point is 00:06:09 There's a cliff of him talking about how sensitive his feet are. And this is years before. And then Homeboy comes up and like stompst his foot. And then he slats him. And that looked like a reaction to me. It did. Okay. It was a real slap.
Starting point is 00:06:23 But who knows, he's shit. He slapped a shit out of him. I don't believe. anything anymore when it comes I think it was all AI I'm just going to say I am a massive fan
Starting point is 00:06:35 of boxing I grew up watching fights always trying to tune in to specific and I followed specific fighters every match that they had
Starting point is 00:06:43 I wanted to see that match but it is morphed into it's morphed into something that's just really hard to believe and trust
Starting point is 00:06:54 right you can't like so It just doesn't seem genuine. Yeah. Like I was a Triple G fan. He had this little trilogy with Canello. Canelo, yes.
Starting point is 00:07:04 He had this trip. And I swear, man, look, I mean, it's debatable. It's arguable, right? But in my mind, he won one of those three fights. But he wasn't going to get anything more than a draw unless he knocked the guy down. And so, or knocked him out. And, yeah, Conno is really good. So he can avoid those knockouts.
Starting point is 00:07:24 And, you know, and then all of the. shenanigans leading up to these fights seem to be more show than genuine you know genuine the thing about boxers though is that they're kind of aloof and goofballish anyway and they love a scene and they love to make a show i mean i know what's it was it mcgregor i mean he's always making a i know but i don't put i separate m m m ms and boxing i don't see them as the same thing so i mean i separate like wrestling and boxing but i feel like m m ms like like MMA and boxing are so much more like. MMA to me,
Starting point is 00:07:58 MMA to me, yes, there is some pompous and show and hilarity leading up to like during the way-ins and the interview of stuff pre, but they still get in there and really get beaten the shit out of each other. Right. Right. Where in boxing, it's just changed. It's not, man, if you go,
Starting point is 00:08:16 so I got this big, giant book in my house called, and it's basically a chronological cycleopity of matches and in order of of how it all happened over the years. It sounds really. Ring magazine. It's a page turn.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Andrew wants one for Christmas. Ring magazine used to be this, you know, Ring magazine used to do these. They have all of the statistics and everything, but they made this really hard, hard copy book. But in that book, you can see how these guys fought for a living, you know, And all through the decades in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, they fought for a living and they didn't care who the next opponent was.
Starting point is 00:08:57 They were going to get in there, and they were going to knock this fool's head off. And it's really kind of turned into a circus, not a circus, like a circus, like a three-ring fucking circus with elephants and goofiness. There's no more true battle. There's not a true battle anymore. Do you feel like that's because of TV? And social media, getting people to tune in and marketing almost? Listen, it's already, and a lot of times when you're watching some of these matches,
Starting point is 00:09:24 you feel like the ending's already predetermined. They don't know how they're going to get there. They don't know exactly what's going to happen during the match. But you have a feeling like, you know, did Tyson and him maybe have a conversation of like, let's just, like, so let me say, it feels a lot like a match race that my dad might have ran with Kenny Schrader at some track where they're like. like let's just make it look good. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Let's just bring it home. You know, kind of like, yeah. Let's run side by side. We're going to, you know, we're going to be a second off of what the locals run here. Nobody's going to know and it's going to look great. And I'll cross finish line first, right? And that's kind of what that felt like.
Starting point is 00:10:07 But look, I mean, I can't get in there and do it. No. But I just remember being younger, maybe I was naive. And I just really felt like it was two guys wanted to, both of them wanted to win badly. They would do whatever it took to accomplish that and the lead up to the fight would showcase that. But now it seems more of a setup.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Yeah. And do we all not walk away from a lot of these paper views feeling duped? Time and time again, right? Yeah. No, boxing, I mean, the golden age of boxing was in the 80s, you know, 70s and 80s, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson at his prime, and now, like, it's just not. Like, I don't even care.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Well, an MMA has taken over that spot. The UFC is now, king of fighting. And so to your point, yeah, it's a lot more legit. I watched the John Jones fight on Friday night. You can't tell me that Steve Miotris doesn't have broken ribs right now because of that's the way he lost. But to see like a non-sanctioned, I mean it was sanctioned in some sense, but like non-WC, WBC fight, you got Jake Paul coming in on a dropped duly Chevy, you know, sparklers and his brothers spraying cologne on him and something. Like, it's just it's a show. I was like, this is a marketing trick that worked and got me to watch this stupid fight.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I saw more clips of him dancing on the internet too than I did of anything fighting. Yeah. Right. All of that, and honestly really, like, I don't have a problem with that. I knew that's what that fight was, right? They weren't pretending to be anything else. But even some of the more official belts and heavyweight title matches and so forth, they need to bring us back.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah. They got to bring us back and got to get us to believe in these boxers and believe that this is, this is you know they're going in there to fight to the end i know we're getting in the weeds here um i see you get looking over there they're probably saying wrap this up and um i could talk boxing i love boxing there's a lot of people in the room but uh i'm uh about to lose my voice oh um i've been should we stay away no no no it's been uh i've been working on this cool project i can't so um i'm not sick but I've been working on this really cool project. I can't tell you all about it. His sickness isn't contagious. Let's just say that.
Starting point is 00:12:22 I it's up here. I stay tuned. I've been working on this project that is a television show. Oh. And I've been working on it all weekend. I've been recording episodes for this television show for four straight days. Damn. Yeah. And so just wanted to drop that in there. So I'm going to say about it. Can't wait to show. share with everybody what this is, but it's kind of a new thing I've been working on. Do you know when it actually will be released? January to February. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah. And so that's when you'll be hearing about it. But, man, I was full, full days. Of talking? Yeah, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9 to 6. It's your dream job. Sitting. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Talking into a microphone for hours. My voice is a little bit gassed. But also I wanted to mention we have. the Florence race coming up this weekend. We've got a bunch of questions about that. Good. We're going to drive the Budcar at Florence Motor Speedway in South Carolina on Saturday. It's a 250 lap race.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I'm really excited about that. There's not many long races in the late model stock ecosystem. There are 56 cars currently signed up to enter this race for 36 spots. And these are some of the best of the best late model stocks in all of the southeast mid-Atlantic region. trying to even make this race will be an accomplishment. When I was thinking about running this race, I believed in my mind,
Starting point is 00:13:53 if history proved correct, every car that came would be able to race. They probably wouldn't get more than 40 entries. But it's at 56 right now and counting. Wow. Yeah. Why do you think it's so popular this year? I am just hoping that...
Starting point is 00:14:10 Does everyone want to race against the bud car, you think? My hope is that everybody that races in the late model stock community has had an awesome year. I mean, this is the point of the year where you kind of, you may skip some of the final events and just call it a season, and you've spent, and you've budgeted out and all of those things. But I'm hoping that it just means that everybody's in a good place and it's healthy in terms of the late mile stock community. that is probably the most important thing to me because our car as the owner of the cars store
Starting point is 00:14:47 or one of the owners of the cars store car count is the sign of a successful and a healthy series car count right and if you're getting 25 28 cars you're not succeeding you're not excelling so for them to go from like 40 cars
Starting point is 00:15:02 to what? 57 56? Why are y'all looking at each other? Amy's making faces here. It's ridiculous to not just just at least somewhat accept that that scheme has not attracted some attention. That's what I think. People want to race against it.
Starting point is 00:15:16 People want to come watch it. Like, it's going to be a mouse. Well, I hope people do. I'm not going to say that. I know that you want the course you want your seriously healthy. And maybe there's a little of that. But there's also a lot of the other part. He's getting a lot of cars because everybody wants to race against the eight car.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I'm not going to say that. Don't you think that? We will. I'll say it. It's what's happening. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to do.
Starting point is 00:15:37 That's probably a little both. Speaking of everybody qualifying in, is there a chance that you won't make the race? There are 56 cars going for 36 spots. 20 cars ain't going to make it. Oh, this is going to be a fun week. Power the nerves. Not bad.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I mean, look, it is what it is. It is what it is. Don't bring that in here. Don't bring. I'm good. I'm in a good place. Okay. It is what it is. So here's how it works.
Starting point is 00:16:00 There's 20. So one car already has secured the pole. How? Ryan Millington, one array. the cars tour race that ran there in August. If you won that race, you locked yourself onto the pole for this event. That's cool. That's for a while.
Starting point is 00:16:17 It is cool. And so he's locked in. The rest of us will qualify to secure the remaining top 20 positions. All right. And so 20 cars will be locked in after qualifying. So there's 36 cars or more, if more sign up, split into two heat races. and the top six of those will go to the main event. There are four provisionals,
Starting point is 00:16:43 and he usually, you know, he has his own system on how he delves out the provisionals. But listen, man, it's going to be a tough race to make. It ain't going to be a foregone conclusion that the eight cars in there in there. What day is qualifying? Qualifying just before an hour or two before the race. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah, so they'll be qualifying in the middle of afternoon, Saturday and then there'll be the two heat races and then right into the main event, I'm assuming. It is what it is. But if for any reason the eight Budcar does not race,
Starting point is 00:17:22 we will go find another race to run it in. We'll go do that somewhere else. And maybe at Florence. Florence has the icebreaker in February. Let's hope that doesn't happen. Yeah. I mean, hey, we got, We got Thanksgiving right around the corner.
Starting point is 00:17:39 We got... The championship banquet. Friday, I'll be there. But I'm just saying, like, I got, no matter what happens in Florence, man, we've got an awesome holiday season in front of us. The Christmas music is playing on the local radio station. I got this,
Starting point is 00:17:58 I did not know that people don't really like that to happen before Thanksgiving. I don't understand the... I'm in that boat. I saw that. Why does it matter? I don't know. Like, what we're just forgetting about Thanksgiving? Who is for holiday?
Starting point is 00:18:12 They don't have Thanksgiving music. Huh? They don't have Thanksgiving music. That's true. There might be like one song about Turkey. Like, and that's it. I just like it, I don't know. There's a radio station.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Feels right in December. There's a local radio station here. It's one of those stations that says we play everything, right? And so we have a station that me and Amy love down in South Carolina called Chuck 101.7, I think. Chuck Radio. I thought it was 104. Here it's 104.
Starting point is 00:18:42 104.7. And so I've got a little old cheap, $15 radio off of Amazon that you can keep it on 104.7. It's on all the time and it's out in the garage. I've talked about it before. Yeah. During the Christmas holiday, it plays
Starting point is 00:18:58 Christmas music and I can't wait. He's been talking about this for the last couple of months. It's so much closer to Christmas. music. I'm like, is he serious? He's serious. Really serious. And he gets a little sad when it turns off. When it ends? Yeah. When does that end? They do Christmas in July too. Oh, do they? Yeah. Okay, 1 of 4.7. They'll do like a week
Starting point is 00:19:17 of Christmas or something. I never recognize that. Yeah. Really. Yeah. We're at the beach. Yeah. Because I grew up here. So it's like, whenever 104.7 starts playing Christmas music, it feels like home. Like, it just feels like everything's right in the world again. So I brings people back to their childhood. You're right. Maybe I should unlock more of that in my own. So, Grinch. For me, For me, I, you know, Christmas was cool when I was a kid. But then when I went through this, before I really met Amy and started spending time with her, Christmas wasn't all that awesome.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I mean, it was not bad. It just wasn't great. And it was just kind of a thing, you know. And I didn't listen to 104.7 and the Christmas music and all that. When I met Amy and then especially got married and had kids, when I had kids, when I had kids, I felt like a real, I mean, I, you know, kind of felt like my life had just really changed. And I adopted like all of these stereotypical, uh, husband and dad traditions, right? I, I, uh, organized my garage.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Oh, yeah. You know, like doing dad, guys. Organizing the garage is a dad thing? A husband dad thing. I thought that was just like a man thing. It's always having something to do in the garage. Yeah, I got to take care of this thing. Here at your side of the garage is cluttered too, by the way.
Starting point is 00:20:42 It has become a mess. It's over decorated over all the things. Yeah. And so, yeah. And so, yeah, I got to listen. And then I love our kids getting excited about Christmas. And now I'm getting more excited about Christmas. Christmas means more.
Starting point is 00:20:59 We go visit her family. We have these traditions that are new traditions that I love that are part of my life, right? And we get together for Thanksgiving, and I just really fell in love with this portion of the calendar year. And the Christmas music starting to play on that radio out in the garage is the green flag on that part of the... We made it.
Starting point is 00:21:23 It's the green flag. We made it. It's the start. And so it's like, here we go. It's here. It's fine. You know, this part of the year that I love. And they started playing...
Starting point is 00:21:32 I walked out. there in the garage and I heard a song. It was a Christmas song. It was a, it was a holiday song. And I tweeted, hell yeah. They're finally playing the Christmas music. And everybody was like, no. It's not even Thanksgiving yet. I put a poll under that tweet. Hold on. They were so upset. And wait, I walked back out there and it's back on the regular music. So it was just like, they heard. It was a teaser song. And no. They were just feeling it out, I guess. Yeah. It was just one song. I thought they saw your tweets. It just happened to be Christmas related, but they weren't really playing the Christmas music full on 24-7. Good for them. They didn't start that till like
Starting point is 00:22:11 this week. Yeah. And so, but anyways, man, people reacted oddly to that. I don't get it. But I don't see how. So the poll I put underneath your tweet said 69% of people said it's too early to listen to Christmas music. Yeah. I get that it might be too early to start. There are other stations. So like you're not forced. I feel forced. Don't push this on me, all right? I get, I get, I get that there may be people that feel that way about like decorations or whatever, right, like visuals, but the radio playing some Christmas music, getting into the spirit just a little bit early, I get it. And I don't think it, I don't look at it as a knock on Thanksgiving because I'm excited about Thanksgiving just because I'm glad they're playing the Christmas music doesn't mean I'm like of course thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:23:02 I just don't want to overplay it it still feels too warm outside for me that is the thing Christmas is fault yeah exactly I'm gonna tell you I grew up to be looking at a temperature gauge and if it is cold enough then you can play your music so I go in South Texas it was never cold enough wait what if we just have a seriously warm December and there's no music yeah old Scrooge over here is gonna be upset here is I'm actually shocked that the one out of the four of us is you. That doesn't like any of the Christmas cheer. I like it.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I like it. I just don't. Why do you care so much about Thanksgiving? Why do I care so? That's the only reason why. Now I feel like I'm being backed into it. You are. You better defend yourself or coming to attack me.
Starting point is 00:23:47 You have a personal tie to the pilgrims? Yes, I do. I just want it to, like, I like it hyper on December. And then it's like, wow, this is really, this is it. That's coming. Well, like, so the shopping season is earlier and earlier, too. Black Friday isn't just Black Friday anymore. The whole month of November is now Black Friday sales,
Starting point is 00:24:05 which I love because it's not like a panic attack trying to get what you need. Yeah. But I think that people are just kind of parlaying the music in with that. Right. I've softened up on my approach. I got into the car today to take Isla to school. And the first thing she says is, how long till Christmas Eve? Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And I was like, don't wish. wish it here, man. This whole month is going to be a blast. We're going to have Thanksgiving. We're going to, you know, we're going to have... See a bunch of Christmas lights. You're going to see the nutcracker. There's all...
Starting point is 00:24:38 I said, just let this whole month from here to Christmas, just that's going to be a blast. We're going to have a great time. It's the best time of year. And so that's kind of where that comes from. And I think when that Christmas music started, it's like, heck yeah. We're here.
Starting point is 00:24:52 We got here. I do want to get to some fan questions, and this weaves right into it. What is Christmas Eve? look like this is from Tammy on Twitter what is Christmas Eve look like at your guys's house and then part two what do the girls want for Christmas Christmas Eve I mean they're still pretty small so we put them to bed you know relatively early and then Dale and I give it like 30 minutes just to make sure nobody comes back out of their bed which is going to be very hard this year
Starting point is 00:25:16 because Nicole will not stay in her bed that's going to be tough now that we're talking about that that is a new yeah that is a realization thing and we've kind of stationed all of the the presence in the detached garage the kids don't ever go out there so if there's anything that needs to be put together if it's if it's simple we do it that night but if it's complicated dills putting it together beforehand and it's just sitting out there it doesn't take us very long to put everything out like in 30 minutes an hour like we bring it all in i've got stuff in boxes like little things and we stage it up and we stage of it it's fun do you have like traditions for christmas eve christmas morning um no i there's like a vision
Starting point is 00:25:57 of like I hope this there's a couple things that I hope happen so like um the kids are up right and once they go to bed we we kind of fill fill it out for about 45 minutes to wait make sure that they're truly asleep and then we start amy's like all right let's start getting the things and so we start to prep the living room for Christmas for when they come down and I am hopeful that like when that's done, we have, like me and Amy have like a 20 or 30 minutes set on the couch. Yeah, like a little hangout. With the fire going.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I usually like have some champagne and give him a cocktail or something. We have to eat some Santa cookies. Something, of course. Something, you know, something Christmas related on the television, watching it or not, it doesn't matter. But we kind of just kind of sit there before we go to bed, bed, right? And just have a moment to ourselves because there's not a lot of that, I guess, during the,
Starting point is 00:27:00 uh, during the month, you know, we're going, going, going, taking the kids here and there. And it's all,
Starting point is 00:27:04 it's all, all family stuff. So rarely do you take a minute with just us too. Yeah. We do have traditions that we do. Um, like I started doing gingerbread houses with Carson and Kennedy.
Starting point is 00:27:15 And then Wyatt when he came when they were very little. And so we still do that every year. So when they come over on Christmas Eve, we line, the tables lined up with houses. There's at least 10 kids now doing it. So it's just, we do stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:27:27 And, um, I don't know, traditions in Texas. We don't have a lot around Christmas. It's just, it's pretty basic. Yeah. Yeah, we don't stay for church and do all that with them because we get home. I'm assuming the girls don't listen to this podcast, so what do they want for Christmas?
Starting point is 00:27:43 They have told, Ila's writing now, she's reading and writing, so she's got a simple list in this little book, which we need to commendeer. Take a look at. But nothing big. Like, they don't watch a lot of regular TV either. They watch the apps and there's no ads, which is awesome. during the year, but like this time of year, you're like, I don't even know what's after. I don't take them to Target.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Like, we don't shop because they will want to buy everything. Right. So, I don't know. We'll have to see. Nicole, too, doesn't really want anything major. I sent him an ad I saw these two little go carts, and he's like, that is too fast. Nope, too fast.
Starting point is 00:28:21 They're little electric ones, have tons of torque. I was like, they were probably fine, but we have these electric three, We have these electric go-carts, the little red ones that are kind of common. Well, we just have one. We had two. T.J. gave us the second one that was Stella's. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Yeah. So we have two, but they don't mess with them. Well, they're down the hill at the track in the little garage, so it's like out of sight out of mind. Sometimes when we're driving in and out of the property, the girls will ask me if Daddy can take them down to do their go-carts from them. You have to ask him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Well, they do. So then by the time we get to the house, they forget about it again. They do watch, we watch some cartoons on TV and the commercials, they'll go, Daddy, I want that. Every commercial, right? They see a toy and they're like, I want that. You want, you want good, your tires? When you're in a store shopping and they're doing that, it's not fun. No.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Because the toy's right there and they're like, they see it. They're like, I want it. Yeah. They just want anything. Yeah. But when it's on the TV, you're like, oh, that's cute. You know, we might get it, we might not. Yeah, put it on your list.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Probably not. We're probably not getting it. Not getting it. You're not getting that. I'm going to tell you one tradition we do for Christmas that I love, I look forward to it, and then sometimes I loathe it right in the middle is the elf. And Dale does help me with the elf.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Oh, God, day that elf. So we didn't do this as kids. I guess it was like not in style when we were children. It was early 80s, yeah. I never did it. What year did the elf stop? just last year when I stopped
Starting point is 00:29:57 I was like what are you talking about it's happening this year I don't know like 10 years ago 11 years ago because I have younger sisters so
Starting point is 00:30:03 okay yeah that's fun we don't I used to buy a kit that had all the stuff in there to help you but that feels god dang
Starting point is 00:30:12 we should just go back to the kit it it is you can get on Pinterest and find so many ideas all you have to do is move it
Starting point is 00:30:18 but we get like all the crap out and make it oh yeah we put up marshmallows and you know we play
Starting point is 00:30:24 it's fun Amy's doing it all the time, so I shouldn't complain. You do it sometimes. I'll text me. I forgot. He's downstairs on his computer. I'm like, you got to do the elf. I have friends.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I'll Google like an elf idea and I'll go in there and do it. And I'm more excited about Amy's reaction to my idea. I could care less what the kids think. But I'm like, oh, I'm doing this. I really am doing this for Amy. The elf left a stove on last night. I love that because I also equally look forward to seeing what you did. Like, what's the best one you've done?
Starting point is 00:30:53 I did Oh man I did one I can't remember I was just thinking about it Or Amy that you remember You're like that's good I don't remember
Starting point is 00:31:01 He usually gets into the food Like he'll make it look like he pooped A little chocolate chips I know but you've done stuff like that too Getting marshmallows out Cereal whatever They took a low They're always stinkering when he's got it
Starting point is 00:31:14 I took a piece of bread And I did something with the bread That was funny Where they made a face on the bread Or something they took some pieces I can't believe the elf drank 10 beers last night. Yeah, that's what they wanted.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Left all the cans everywhere. Sticking to the holiday theme, Katie wants to know, do you have a must-have family recipe or dish for Thanksgiving? Well, no, I used to cook like the full Thanksgiving dinner. I grew up doing that with my grandmother.
Starting point is 00:31:44 And Dale and I, we've done that before, but our kids don't really, they might this year, so we might try to go back to that. They don't really eat. much of adult food. Yeah. The traditional Thanksgiving food.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Uh-huh. And so, and for a while there, too, we were going to Key West right after the season was over because it was Miami. And then, so we ate fish tacos for Thanksgiving. That's awesome. It just wasn't really a tradition that we put too much effort in. But I don't know. We could probably try and cook now.
Starting point is 00:32:11 They're eating more food. Is it just the four of you guys for Thanksgiving? Yeah, it's just the four of us. Wow. Thanksgiving is turkey a necessity for Thanksgiving? I think so. Okay. I like cranberry sauce, too.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Like the good old jelly stuff right out of the can. Yeah. There's one specific recipe that Amy has that I love for the Thanksgiving time of year. It's deviled eggs, and she makes the deviled eggs with wasabi. And so... This was a Thanksgiving thing? Yep. You made it, and we took it to Mamaw's one year. Everybody had to take a thing.
Starting point is 00:32:50 But she's made it a couple times. So the deviled egg has wasabi in it, so it's got this sort of Asian twist to it. And right before you put that in the white, egg white, you put a drop of soy sauce down in there so it stays in. You don't use a whole lot of the egg yellows either. You can use some if you want, but you use avocados. So it's supposed to be like a lighter. They're delicious. They're so good.
Starting point is 00:33:16 They have ginger and all kinds of fun stuff like that. It's not really a Thanksgiving flavor. That sounds really good, actually. That's actually in my draft. Oh. We'll talk about that later. Well, I'm going to pick it first. Yeah, now that I know it.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Now it's in my list. Yeah, now it's in all my list. You're not playing the game right. He's just trying to get me to make them. I'm just trying to steer you away from the beer. Oh, all right. Well, I'll write down beer. Can't draft but one thing at a time.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I feel like the side dishes are better than the main dish. I love stuffing. Stuffing's my thing. Really? Yeah. I'm a green bean casserole. I love green bean casserole. I love green bean cassero.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I'm a mom. I'm always made green bean casserole. Oh my gosh. Cornbread? Cornbread? They like corn bread a lot. I could eat only cornbread. So my grandmother always made the dressing with biscuits and cornbread. And so it was very.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Yes. What if the cornbread is not sweet? The corn bed? The cornbread, sorry, I misspoke. What if the corn bread is not sweet? See, I like it savory because sweet is like dessert. Yeah. Like, I don't want to have a...
Starting point is 00:34:14 What does savory even mean? It means salty. Yeah. It's like got a... Savory means salty? I have no idea. It's savory. All these...
Starting point is 00:34:21 I think I was the opposite of sweet. Yeah, it's like, it's like hearty. I would never say the word, I would even never use the word savory in a sentence. Why? That turkey is for savory. I don't know what the fucking means. I had my coffee this morning.
Starting point is 00:34:32 My IQ's up. It is. And I don't know. It just sounds. Savory is like, it's like a steak or a cheeseburger or like something. I thought it was just something that makes you salivate. No. Savory.
Starting point is 00:34:44 That looks savory. Now, I mean, my mouth's watering a little bit. Savory. I thought savory mint. Delicious. I mean, sort of. but it's like, but it does,
Starting point is 00:34:52 it means like, it's not the sweet side of it. It's just like regular. Something sweet can't be savory. I don't think so. Really? I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:59 I think it's a crap. Hold on. Well, I'm still never, I'm still never going to use it. Have you ever cooked a turkey? Has anyone in here ever cooked a turkey? Um,
Starting point is 00:35:07 no. I think I did a turkey breast one time. It's just, I haven't done a full turkey. We used to be fried. Yeah, Dale has done a deep fried turkey once or twice,
Starting point is 00:35:15 actually. And I've roasted them plenty. But I have also accidentally roasted the whole thing and didn't get the gizzard bag out or the neck, which is repulsive. Why do they have to put that in there? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:27 I thought I had all the stuff out and got done baking in. I'm like, oh, that thing's still in. I don't know why a laugh out of Amy getting grossed out. I don't know why that's funny to me. All right. I'm going to stick that turkey neck in his pillowcase. No. The gizzard bag.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Is that what it's called? The definition of savory is belong to the category that is salty or spicy rather than sweet. All right. Wow. I'm still never going to. use it. But you like sweet cornbread.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I like savory. I like it with jalapinos in it. See, I cheese jalapinos, yes. With like hot honey and butter all over the top. I could have a little sweet on it, you know, it wouldn't be bad. I like sweet cornbread and cornbread that is just not sweet is like just not good. Not as good. Look, cornbread is great.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Sweet cakey cornbread. Listen, we've gone through cornbread recipes and he has poo-pooed plenty. Oh, cornbread connoisseur. Yes. Like if I put corn in it? If I actually put like canned cream corn or something in it? Cornbread, you don't digest it. He's like, don't digest it.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Why are there chunks in my cornbread? I know, right? Way, whoa. Yeah. Chunks. Before and after. Yeah, exactly. Where are we going?
Starting point is 00:36:36 I don't know. What happened to the cornbread? I don't know. Why would there be chunks in cornbread? Corn bread. Corn, hi, corn. Oh, geez. I like a lot of.
Starting point is 00:36:45 I'll never look at cornbread the same. Thanks. We've ruined cornbread. Yeah. If the cornbread isn't sweet, it needs a lot of butter on it. I agree. Oh, I'm all about butter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yeah. But if it doesn't, if it is sweet, I don't need the butter. Which is probably good for my... We're going to cook some cornbread for Thanksgiving. And you're going to help me cook a turkey or something. We're going to eat to cook this. Yeah. I'll do a turkey.
Starting point is 00:37:09 I love a good smoke turkey. All right. I'll do a turkey. We just have to take all that stuff down there. Yeah. Pumpkin or pecan pie? Are we going to fry it again? And we can or we can roast it.
Starting point is 00:37:20 We got that, we got an oven. Okay. We can do either one. I'd rather roast it. Because that's, because I'll be doing it. No, I just think, you know, fried food is bad for you. Well. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:37:32 It's one day, one meal. All right. How many wings have you eaten in your life? Are you going to run? That's not fun run. That's also on my list. It's also on my draft wings. Hey, in our draft that we're going to do later, I think you can have, like I could,
Starting point is 00:37:49 I can draft a specific flavor of wings. He's already trying to bend the damn rules so that you can do anything they want. I'm asking, I guess I'm asking the question. Is it just all wings? If like you say chicken wings, like you've got them all? I think so,
Starting point is 00:38:06 but we're going to go to our version of teen starras. Someone can't do buffalo chicken wings and another person do terriaki. No, this isn't fun. It's only four items. All wings. All wings. Yeah, so if you do buffalo wings, you got wings.
Starting point is 00:38:18 You can put whatever. All right. Okay. Just being sure. Okay. Next question. Next question, also related to Thanksgiving. This is from Scott.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Will you be participating in drinksgiving? What is that? Blackout Wednesday. Oh, you've never heard of drinksgiving? Mm-mm. It's the Wednesday before. Thanksgiving. It's like one of the biggest party days of the year.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Go out, see, you know, go to a bar. It's like there's a bunch of bars around here to actually doing specials and stuff. And you just drink. You just have a good old time. We might drink on Thanksgiving or on Friday. Wednesday? Wednesday night. But we can't be hung over trying to roast turkeys and take care of
Starting point is 00:38:49 I guess that's fair. If you're doing the bulk of the cooking on Thursday, probably not a good idea to be hung over. But if you're not, it's a fun day to go out. We can't do that. We're too old. Oh, no. We have to be responsible.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Yeah. Bring the girls. We take the girls to the pub to eat, but we don't stay very long. No. They have an expiring moment and it's time to go. We can go places with the kids till they expire. Yeah. It's a timer.
Starting point is 00:39:20 They're not non-perishable. No. No. They have a clock that's about an hour, hour, and a half. If there's nowhere for them to run around, they're going to act full. Well, we can go a bunch of different directions. Okay, this is coming up this week. The banquet, you guys said you were going.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Do you, like, tell Dale what to wear? Yeah, we went to got a new tux last week. He hasn't bought one since the wedding, I don't think. So it's been almost eight years ago. Wow. Yeah, so he's got a new tux. I'll go pick it up on Wednesday. You're just staring at me.
Starting point is 00:39:51 This is really, this is frightening. It's a question for him. Here's the thing about dressing Dale. He's down to do it 50% of the time. And then the other 50% it's straight up like stomping your feet. So annoyed. He's been trying to eat better and he feels good about his bod at the moment. So taking him shopping was a breeze.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Nice. And if I hadn't had done that and he had to put the old tux on, he would have been throwing a fit the day we were getting ready. We get to know the real deal when Amy's here, that's for sure. I mean it, like getting dressed to go anywhere, he's like,
Starting point is 00:40:31 this doesn't fit right, uh, I'm the same way. You could have thought about it before right now, so I thought about it last week. I'm the worst. We went on this trip I don't know a month ago and I had been kind of lazy with what I was eating
Starting point is 00:40:47 And I've got like a, I got a weight that when I get to that point, I'm like, all right, time. He shuts down. Time out. Time out. We're going to work on this, right? And it's about 188, 190 pounds. And so I got up to around 188, 190 pounds. And I was like, all right, back to work.
Starting point is 00:41:06 And so for the last month, I've been diligently, like, trying to eat better. He's been tracking his food. So he's not just smarter. Guessing, but yeah. So I'm back down to 180, 170, 9. depending on the day but um he's gonna be in a black tux and you know what a true so sorry i um since she's getting so honest about it um which is fine um i everything's fine we're having a good time every so i get you get this tux right and uh i wear i'm gonna wear a tux once a year likely once a year okay
Starting point is 00:41:47 man, you know, your body changes so much over the course of a year, right? And so you, and they will, if you, when you go by the tux and if you're getting something tailored or anything tailored, they tailor it to fit you great, right? Really, really close, slim margins, right? So you can't change. And if you go a year and you try to put that tux back on and it's like, yeah, not fitting today. It's damn, it's tough, man. It's emotionally like you're like, you're like, I know. So you have to try it on like a week before.
Starting point is 00:42:16 No. Guys don't do that. Somebody in the moment. Learn from us. Learn from us. When we go to get some, if I go. The roll of the dice the night of them. If I go to,
Starting point is 00:42:27 if I go to get a new tux, which I mean the last tux I got was like five years ago or so. Eight years ago. Okay. So getting a new tux. I am like, while the guys measuring it, man, I'm like trying to make my belly
Starting point is 00:42:41 as big as I can. Yeah. That's hilarious. Eat a huge meal, drink a ton of water. It was right before lunch too, so he was definitely didn't have anything to push out, right? The guy that we work with has dressed Dale many times before. And so he's like, don't worry, if we need to let it out in the back, they're not going to take anything out. They can, we can go back and forth.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Don't worry about it. Because he could see Dale's like. Yeah. You're like a driver weighing in for preseason weighing. I was trying to cheat it a little bit. Yeah. So that the guy would tailor it a little bit. large and then I'd have a little
Starting point is 00:43:18 room and like four shirts. He likes them long too. He won't let them hem his pants or his socks show. So he's got like two or three breaks in the bottom of his leg. So if you see him and you're like damn he could have had those hemmed, he did. He did. He did. When I sit down, like if you wear a pair of slacks, right? If you wear a pair of slacks and you sit down, I don't like
Starting point is 00:43:40 get rid of way up. Yes. I agree with you. I do that, but I've just gotten used to it at this point. I hate that. If he has a stand-up and pull his leg is pull his pant legs down he's pissed i'm wearing jeans i can relate to that though i'm wearing jeans right now and i'm always like pulling them down to make sure that the they're on my shoe yeah i don't want to see right even when i'm sitting down which is interesting because he has very flamboyant socks on every single day really he's not wearing a basic he's wearing something with like middle fingers on him or beer mugs or you got a good
Starting point is 00:44:09 sushi or good dogs yeah oh it's not today but yeah i've got socks with like the flipping the bird socks where there's just a bunch of flipping the birds on them. I had no idea. All this time, we could have been talking about it. I've got some really aggressive socks that I'm wearing. And I love the fact that I'm the only one that knows that they're there. It's his secret. I'm like, you know what? You're like having a normal conversation with someone. They don't even know. I've got some socks on that might actually be offensive to you. They've got some socks that actually might make you uncomfortable. But you're not going to see them. Just know that I know that. That is so funny.
Starting point is 00:44:45 It's like, you know, you're walking around and you're like, I got some really fucking badass socks on. Nobody here knows it. But you're never going to see. I like that. I like that. Because they do slip. If they do come out accidentally.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Wow, that's the real Dale right there. Oh, I didn't know Dale was like that. Dale's so edgy. Did you see those socks? Did you see him? Pomeranians on his socks. It's talking to town. Do you have Pomeranians?
Starting point is 00:45:12 I do. Socks. Yeah. We have a Pomeranian. dog. Yeah. That would make sense. Like I would not have socks with Pomeranians on them.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I thought it was just random. Just for the hell of it. I'll get you some bulldog socks. You know why not? Wow. Yeah. Very exciting. I got one,
Starting point is 00:45:29 I got one pair of socks. This is my favorite. What are your banquet socks going to be? My favorite socks that I own. The fingers. They're black. So I think it's Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson in the thriller.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Is it the thriller where he took? turns into the werewolf. Yes, it's thriller on one side, the other ones. So he's, you know, in the, he's dressed like the high school kid. The red jacket. That's one sock, and the other socks him is the werewolf. Oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's a cool, that's a cool combo.
Starting point is 00:45:59 That's pretty sweet. Yeah. And I have two pair. Hey, wait, not done. Hold on. This is funny, this is a funny, funny, funny part. I have two pair of those. And our.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Why do you have two? I thought you're supposed to get one to Sean Brawley. I have two pair of those He was Super Michael Jackson fan We got him at Party City I remember this day I have two pairs of them
Starting point is 00:46:24 And our nanny was trying to pair them up incorrectly Like because she thought They were madge Two werewolves together And two Michael Jackson's Two high school Michael Jackson's together And I'd have to take them apart
Starting point is 00:46:36 And put them back every And probably grunt in frustration No no no I'm just going Oh my God Quit putting the werewolves together How could you make this mistake? You should very clearly know that these two socks are not supposed to match. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Unculture. Two Michael Jackson. Unculture. You should have seen this music video. Two high school Michael Jackson's together. What are we insane? What do you think I am? I guess this house is just a barn.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Good Lord. You accidentally wear two high school Michael Jackson socks to work. That's embarrassing. It does read different. That is embarrassing. They don't know. I hope no one notices me today. I am so embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I wore both the wear wolf socks today. Gosh. Unbelievable. All right. Let's move on. Okay. This next question is coming from Charlie. Are you taking the fifth wheel to Florence?
Starting point is 00:47:36 Yes. What are the essentials for the fifth wheel at Florence? Like, what do you have to have? We're bleeding into our... I know. Our tarot get drafted. I think you're trying to scoop some secrets. He's got an agenda.
Starting point is 00:47:50 He does. I have, I do have an agenda. He's a man. For like the whole weekend? Like, what are we keeping in there? Like, in general? Yeah, like, what's good for a race weekend, you know, at the fifth, with the fifth wheel? A lot of meat.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Are you going? A lot of meat. A lot of meat. Socks. I won't be there until Saturday. Okay. So it's going to be Dale and Kenny, who has always been with us. And they'll grill a lot.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Like, they're dudes. They're going to eat chicken and sacks. and chicken and canned green beans. Every time I get a visual, like a photo or something, he's sending me meat with barbecue sauce and like a can of something. It's so easy. When we go hunting at our Ohio camp, we will cook chicken breasts or steak, right?
Starting point is 00:48:36 It's pretty simple. And we'll get a pot on the stove and we'll dump a can of green beans and a can of corn in there and heat it up, and that's our dinner. but on the on the on the on the at the race track with the fifth wheel honestly at this kind of at this point it was different when I was at the race track at the with the with NASCAR and the cup coach and all that we did cook cook or a little more with this thing man I mean Amy will not Amy will I stocked the fridge too so can you don't have to mess with it so much Amy will will will do more but
Starting point is 00:49:13 if it's just me, I would get a bunch of nuggets from the fast food joint and just eat on the nuggets all weekend. Like I'd just say, like five nuggets. Fried nuggets? What? Five nuggets for lunch? No, fried nuggets for dinner. Five? Five. Only five?
Starting point is 00:49:28 That's what they put in the kids meal. Oh, I thought that was like. Ration nuggets. All my life, when you go to McDonald's and got chicken nuggets, you got six nuggets. McDonald's is not chicken. That's not. Well, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm just saying, so in my mind, that is ingrained.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Like, nugget meals are six nuggets. Nuggets. Okay. I'm up to 12 now. Yeah. Are you? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Gosh, I could do more than that too. I mean, I could. You get me a Chick-fil-A. Nugget tray? I'm taking 20 of them. For sure. I'm going to try to part that out throughout the weekend. We do always have like a box and nuggets in there for the kids.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Yeah. I don't know. A lot of snacks, cold sandwiches, I put like chicken salad and stuff like that in the fridge so they can eat on that. Homemade chicken salad? No, I just want to. That's fair. public. It's a fresh market.
Starting point is 00:50:13 They have the best stuff. Yeah, they got good stuff. Wait, you said you got stuff for the kids in the fifth wheel? Yeah, like I stock it before they take off with it so that it's... We have to have, um, we have to have an outdoor rug because boy, you know, the, you don't want to track a bunch of grass and stuff. You'll track that, you'll track, you'll track dried, cut grass into the camp or whatever, wherever you're at.
Starting point is 00:50:36 So you got to have a nice kind of a lawn rug out there in front. and a couple folding chairs and maybe some, maybe some of those lanterns that kind of keep the bugs away. Yep, Citronella. Yep, and a cooler. That's about it outside. Yeah, we got a speaker. Yeah, that stuff just stays on the coach.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Yeah, we just leave it on there. There's not much to it. Simple. Yeah. It's the best way to do it, in my opinion. Well, he's not really in there that much either. Yeah. When we haven't really took it camping, camping now,
Starting point is 00:51:05 if I think we went camping camping, we'd have more things. Activity. We have, like, toys. Gains, outdoor toys, games underneath the beds. That won't come out at Florence. Probably not. That is what we have for Ask Amy. Dalton, do you have any that you've seen?
Starting point is 00:51:21 Gosh, we got so many. I think we covered everything. We covered Thanksgiving. Yeah. Covered Christmas, sort of. Is there any sort of like, you know? Are there kids toys that you know that I don't know about that we need to get the kids? What does Amy want for Christmas?
Starting point is 00:51:35 Oh, I don't know much about kids, so not yet. I don't know. Peace and quiet. I want jewelry. Jewelry, all right. His arch nemesis. Isn't that funny how that works? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:50 It's like, you know, I'd like to think of it as a bait and switch. What do you mean? Not that he ever pretended to like jewelry, but I thought maybe it would get over and it'd grow on him just because I liked it. So if it is jewelry, so in the past,
Starting point is 00:52:07 I heard that and I was like, okay, I myself will go and I will scour the web and I will find something that I like and I will get that for her and she will like it. That was the problem. That was the problem. I find something I like. You find something she likes. Right. So I can show you.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I can show you the way. You show me the way. You like. Show me the way. We'll see if we can make this happen. Just lead like breadcrumbs to. No, no, no. I'll just leave a blatant note or like, hey, text this first.
Starting point is 00:52:40 They know exactly, I've made a wish list at the jewelry store. I want to see it. And people, they do that. But I want to, I want to see the items with you. You can go see it in person. There's some really pretty stuff in the jewelry store. Would you prefer that over the surprise? No, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Dale thinks I hate surprises. I have hated, like, there are certain surprises that are hard from traveling. I hate surprises. Yeah. So I kind of stored that away as, as I hate surprises. Yeah. Period. Just full style.
Starting point is 00:53:06 I thought, yeah. I thought that meant I hate the surprises. I didn't like a, surprise, hey, get ready or get or get out on a trip or whatever. I'm like, I can't prepare for that. But you are the opposite. He is.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Yes. The door is a surprise. Yeah, so the greatest thing. Even if I've surprised him with something good in the fridge. Like, he loves all surprises. Outside of my marriage and having kids, the greatest thing that ever happened to me was they came in here that morning when we were doing the show with Coleswindale.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Wow. Two days ago to 500s. And they said. Marriage. I said marriage kids. No, I know. And they surprise me, right? And so if I were to spring that on Amy, she would not prefer it.
Starting point is 00:53:50 If he had my bags packed and knew what to do and I felt comfortable with that, I would love it. You would not feel comfortable with me packing your bags. That's what I'm saying. If I felt comfortable, you have resources you could use. I got all the socks you could ever need. Let me ask this question. He even knows what items in my closet surely. that I wear the most often.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Let me ask this question. You know what I mean? He sees me get dressed. What if I said I got a surprise trip and it's tomorrow we're leaving and you have 24 hours? I would have so many questions about. I would ruin it. Like where are we going? What do I need to pack?
Starting point is 00:54:25 No, no, no. I would tell you. I'd say I have blocked. Oh. No, let me wait. Amy, I've blocked off this week. We're going to this town. This is what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:54:37 It's planned. Kids are taken care of. you got 12 hours. Is that your mission should you choose to accept it? Is that exciting? Yeah, that's better than nothing. Okay. I might do it that way then.
Starting point is 00:54:51 You have 12 hours sounds like a threat. Well, I'm just saying like I, that's the other thing about there. Everything's very intense. When he's decided something, it's like intense. It's not, it's. You have 30 seconds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:04 The ticket. I just thought I was never going to get to surprise her with a trip ever. but now I have a protocol I can follow. 12 hours. It's the minimum. Yeah. Well, I have a protocol that I know that she loves surprise trips. She just needs that 12, 24 hours, whatever to pack.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Dale likes a surprise because he wants to know that you're thinking about it. And I get that. Yeah. I too. I love that. He will come home and tell me, I was out shopping. I saw this thing, made me think of you. I'm like, did you buy it?
Starting point is 00:55:32 Nope. I just thought of you. But I thought of you. That's nice. As it goes by. You used to thought that counts. Yeah. Yeah, I love a good.
Starting point is 00:55:39 I'm never sure if she wants it. Wow. But I guess even if she doesn't, the fact that I bought it, get a receipt, that's a follow through that's necessary for the gesture. It's kind of an asset to the gesture to have the thing. But what if you don't want it? They return it. Because I always, more times than not, if I show Amy 10 things and go, this is cool, I think you'd like it.
Starting point is 00:56:01 She goes, nope. Did the charcuttery board scare you, scare you away from the surprises? What chakruder board? Remember? It's like he got a charcutory thing. board and you're like, I'm not going to eat a sugar board. I got the Amazon shark reboard. That comes back to paying attention.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I would never order that. So again, I ate nine out of ten things. I'm like, this is cool. She's like, I would never get that. What the hell did you get there? Have you not seen what's in the kitchen? Have you ever seen one of those floating around in here? Do I serve that to you?
Starting point is 00:56:33 No. We do a shark cuterie board. Every Thanksgiving, a big giant one. Yeah, I slice it. dice all the stuff. It's fresh. It's good. It's already done.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Everybody on Amazon said it was great. Five stars. The ad, everybody was in the ad. They literally said you would love it. They literally said my wife would love it. Those people were probably paid to write that, dude. Everybody was so happy they were getting that.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I was like, yes. This is a great idea. Amy's way. He did try to pick out a ring for me. He wants me to have an orange ring because he loves orange. And he showed me a photo of it, and I didn't know how to respond.
Starting point is 00:57:18 It was expensive. How do you nicely say? That sucks. I don't think you need to waste your money on it. This is good. We're getting all the bad ideas out of the way. I'm like, if you're going to buy an orange ring, here are some design styles that I would prefer.
Starting point is 00:57:34 That would probably less expensive, to be honest, but they were far more simple. His was very gaudy. Yeah. Gody. See, I mean, look, man, I'm doomed. You're not doomed. I'm doomed.
Starting point is 00:57:45 You just need to, we just need to teach. No. Grasshopper, I can teach you the way. I'm 50. There's no teaching. Yes, there is. Stop it with that. I can't.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Hold dog. Stop. Can't take me, whatever. That old thing. That's such a shit. He's stuck in most. I'm stuck in this, this mode. He's still looking back at places thinking this was farmland.
Starting point is 00:58:05 We used to do photos. We used to do photos streams. Yeah, we did. We used have photo streams. We just stick pictures of things in there because I did that. I even did it with the orange ring and you just ignored the shit out of it. You were telling me, don't. It's still in my phone.
Starting point is 00:58:18 You seem none. Oh, you seem like you were into it. He started, we started a folder just for this orange ring. It was such a thing. What? Really? I wanted to help him just, I dumped a bunch of pictures in there. Like, this is your guide.
Starting point is 00:58:32 And then he started to put, he wanted in that folder. I'm like, it's titled the orange ring. I'm like this is going anywhere So that was the end of that I think we haven't done a photo stream since then Yeah Wow There was too many sock picks in that thing
Starting point is 00:58:48 I was gonna say you should add some more sock pictures What's the next sock you're looking at You got your eyes on? The one he doesn't have The sock doors are so overflowing What's the what's the requirement? There's a spark
Starting point is 00:59:02 Yeah They lock eyes Love at first sight type of deal With the socks with the socks. Pop culture. Probably. Just things he's into.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Or the more good. We kind of get you like Mike Tyson. Yeah. Like I mean, socks with Pomeranians on them. Hell yeah. We got some in Ireland that have a big castle on them.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Yeah. It's got castle socks. We went to a castle. We went to a castle to tour it, but we got there too late. We got there five minutes too late. They would not let us in. And so we got some socks.
Starting point is 00:59:31 To prove that you were there. We shot. To prove that you were there. And I'm like, yeah. We went. We went. I'm like, hell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:37 socks, man, castles. We got an ornament and some socks. That's what we got. Do you pick them based on like the mood during that day? Like, this is not a high school Michael Jackson day. You don't? Not really. Do you pick them to match your shirt?
Starting point is 00:59:52 I pick them to try to match. It's not so much matching. It's just like trying to be too much of a contrast from the rest of your outfit. But you never see it, so it doesn't matter. That's right. If it matches. We still don't know what Amy. wants for Christmas.
Starting point is 01:00:10 But you, I feel like you got some good direction there. Just jewelry. He heard nothing. She's giving me. I feel like I know how to shop for Amy now. Just jewelry. I heard jewelry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Yeah, but there was more to it. She's going to give you the person to call. They're going to, they're going to lead you in the right direction. I'll walk you through it after the show. Jesus. All right. That's, that's why this is hard. Like, if you just said, that sounds great.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Then there's an element. of surprise in there for Amy, right? But if you want me just to give you a blatant list, there's no surprises. Well, I mean, I don't... All right. I'm afraid that I'll pick the wrong thing. Yeah, there's nothing worse than that.
Starting point is 01:00:52 There's nothing worse than being like, especially something... That's how the rest of us have to shop. But it's not a cheap... This ain't a $80 shirt, you know? It's a piece of jewelry that costs a little bit of money. It's also the worst when you get it. a gift you don't really like and you have to be like oh yeah she and then that's it there's no
Starting point is 01:01:12 yeah and there's that's that's that Christmas is Christmas it's you know you don't get to redo and her day is set you know like that's that I'm not going to and I'm sitting over I'm not going to set you up for failure to go very very pleased with everything that I've got yeah feeling really that she what do you want for Christmas let's redirect what do you want for Christmas he wanted this scooter for his birthday. I got it. You got it for me. I did. I was very against it because it goes pretty fast. I'm like, where are you going to ride that damn thing? They put the girls on it and they go for laughs. It's awesome. It's awesome. Yeah. The only reason he really wanted it is because T.J. has one. Anything T.J. gets gadgety, irasing oriented. I had to buy one. I had to buy one. T.J. just
Starting point is 01:02:00 got new screens. I want four new screens for my thing. I had to buy one so that T.J. didn't sell me his for more that he made for it. That is a thing TJ does. You all not know that? That was what I was avoiding. Yeah, I'm like, yeah. I bought my phone. I don't even want this,
Starting point is 01:02:12 but I bought it cheaper and you would sell it to me. That was my original response to Dale. I was like, just wait a couple months. TJ, I'll sell you his. You don't even need one of your own. I got a competitor at the store that can sell it to me for cheaper.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Yeah. Can you match this? Yeah. Jeff Bezos, so what do you want for Christmas? Oh, that's good. I told you I wanted shirts. You want me to buy your dress shirts?
Starting point is 01:02:35 I need some new dress shirts and some. and some new sports coats for work and more socks because I can then you can never have enough but when should socks go in the trash you know that Paul Steve LaTart doesn't wear socks more than once that's insane every single pair that is crazy he will throw away every single pair that's a waste I think when it knows they're not disposable donate them you can wash them but he wears his underwear twice maybe I don't know ma'am yeah that's kind of backer courts, isn't it? When does socks go out? I think either when it loses its companion and then it's just for sure. Learner. Yeah, it's already lonely. Throw it in the trash. Hey, how long does it hang around
Starting point is 01:03:19 hoping for the other one to show up? I don't know. See, I hang on to hope with my socks. I was, I think I'm going to make a, I'm going to make a bin just for all the singles to find, find new matches. Maybe give them an app they can swipe and. Well, maybe you could find two that kind of go together. That's kind of what I do. Yeah. I'll save those for weekends. I've got, some socks that need. Days I'm wearing long pants. Long pant day. They earn their money. I've got some socks that have ran their course and I just need to go in there and take care of it. Been through war. Take care of business? Just put them out of their misery. Donate them. Just donate them. Auction. I mean, that's what Steve should be doing. I don't think that anybody wants these.
Starting point is 01:03:54 So the Helmonds tailgate draft sponsored by Helmans, of course, America's number one mannays. And we're going to be basically picking essentials for a great tailgate, right? Yeah, and so the rules of the draft, snake draft, and once you pick something, like, you know, wings, for example, can't be, oh, just buffalo wings. It's all of wings come off the board, so. And it's a snake draft, all right. So, and do I get to go first? We have to decide that. Yeah, how do we decide?
Starting point is 01:04:26 I just put your name here based on, this is kind of like my seating chart. All right. Is how I did it. But, yeah, how do we decide first pick? well why don't we go through alphabetical order got it
Starting point is 01:04:38 I see I don't know what that did I did the thumb first what the f*** did you go for your nose I didn't see the thumb okay it's alphabetical order so I go first
Starting point is 01:04:49 Amy Amy Oh I just barely one too Oh by literally yeah M and N Wow L and N
Starting point is 01:04:57 he's looking up like trying to visually see the alphabet I had to go back All right so Amy Amy, Andrew, myself, and Don't. Sorry, Dalton.
Starting point is 01:05:06 That's all right. I actually think you're in a decent spot. All right, Amy? With a D, I would think so, but no. Amy, your first pick of the Helmonds. Tailgate draft is? My first pick is a speaker. Oh. Wow.
Starting point is 01:05:19 Come on. I think that's... Right from the get-go. That was my number one pick. All right, Andrew, you're up next. There's a lot of good stuff that you can bring. Speakers. Speakers is a good one because you can't play music.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Yeah, I figured I don't bring a speaker. Yeah, everyone's going to be in silence. Can I bring a band? No. I'll bring lead zeppelin then, fine. The team has the van. You don't need to bring a van. Give me, all right.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Give me a tent. Like, I'm going to get sunburned. You're not bringing a sunburn. You're just bringing a tent. Yeah, that's more comfortable. A tent was not in my list. I'm going to go with beer. Yeah, that one had to go.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I didn't think it was going to get to me. That's a shame. You know what? You can't have a good tailgate Without a pickup truck I'm gonna take a truck I believe you're wasting your pick Well
Starting point is 01:06:08 But I hear you You know what? How so? Why? I mean Pull up with any car right? Yeah Have fun taking your Prius We're taking El Camino
Starting point is 01:06:20 Oh well You guys got in on a hybrid It's a hybrid All of the things that are Present in the moment The truck or car Whatever is the least You don't think it matters
Starting point is 01:06:30 It is bringing the lease to the table. Okay. But that's just my opinion. You go with your truck. You've picked it now. Dalton, you get to go again. I am taking wings.
Starting point is 01:06:43 All of wings. With buffalo sauce, some ranch, some loo cheese. He has taken the world of wings. The world of wings. No one else. Homemade ranch, by the way.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Oh, man. You know how to make homemade ranch? Yeah, it's like some mail. Hellman's mail, right? Some dill, a little bit of spice and garlic powder. Mix it all up. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:07:02 That's the best. Go-to wings. Don't get that storeback. What's yours? Buffalo, everything. Buffalo? Yes. All right.
Starting point is 01:07:09 I am going to go with, I'm going to go with barbecue. So if he can get wings in every type of wing, I'm going with barbecue. So this would be brisket, gosh. Pull-Port, ribs, whatever.
Starting point is 01:07:24 I want to go to Dale's Tailgate. Amy, we're running out of food here. I want to say, Something that's new, something that's new in the, well, and new in my experiences with barbecue is I'm starting,
Starting point is 01:07:36 so when people make a brisket or something like that, um, oftentimes they will use mustard to coat the brisket to allow that to bind the seasoning. Mm-hmm. And create a little bit of a, a little bit of a, a case in,
Starting point is 01:07:52 when it's, when it's in the smoker. People are using mayonnaise. Helmand's mayonnaise is a great alternative or maybe a new way to sort of use as the binder or kind of holding your, not binder really, but kind of holding the seasoning to the brisket or what have you. But people will rub, yeah, rub. I saw someone doing that with the Thanksgiving turkey this last week. Right. Yeah. So I'm seeing that all over the place now. Mayo. That's so many uses. Yeah. So we may try that with our turkey. You want to?
Starting point is 01:08:20 Yeah. Use Helmand's mayo. Helmand's mayo on our turkey. All right. Who snacks? me. No, wait, I'm up. It's you. Oh, all right. Everyone's going the food direction, but I am going to try and knock some other things out, and I'll eventually feed my group. Yep.

Starting point is 01:09:36 And you got another pick. Oh. You get back to back. All right. I'm going to go with dips, like dips and chips. Dibn't it. Any specific dip? Halapeno popper dip is one of my favorites, so I'm going to make that.
Starting point is 01:09:50 I'm starving. I love a good popcorn chicken. Oh, man. I'm really botching this. Well, I can't draft fire table because everyone's going to judge me for that. Was that actually on your list? I did write fire table. What is a propane fire table?
Starting point is 01:10:06 You know, like it's just like a fire. Yeah, like a black stone. You're not. Well, no, no, no. Like a. You're not going to even pretend to play and party. You're just going to sit and cook. Do you bring in a blankie too?

Starting point is 01:10:40 Yeah. What are you tailgating? A book signing. That's what he's tailgating. Oh, wait. We have to do that last. Once we have our things, it should be in office. Where are you? The new Harry Potter's out. Exactly. You don't understand. I've been here. I've been here since midnight. Waiting on Barnes and Noble's open. I'm outside of bookstore. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Does anyone want to join me? I have Jenga. And a one chair. And one chair. Sit on my lap. That's it. Yeah. Wait, I wrote chairs.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Oh, okay. All right. We'll give you. There are going to be people that come. Whatever. I mean, he's going to invite people. Yeah, you definitely won't be alone at your party. least inviting people.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Who knows if they'll show up? Andrew would be the kind of person that would tell you to try to catch the Django when it falls because it makes a lot of noise. We're going to wake people up. I don't need to get a noise ordinance. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Yeah. Jeez, guys. Keep it down. It just makes a lot of noise. Take it easy on the soda. Catch it. It's already 9 o'clock p.m. We can't be waking people up.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Yep. All right. I'm going to go with I think I'm going to go with either I'm going to go with a ball to throw baseball two minutes or baseball or football ball to throw some sort of ball throwing going on
Starting point is 01:12:04 I think the throwing catch catch is so fun dude baseball catch is my favorite yes yeah at a beach too you can just go like man I can do that for hours they like to do that when he has friends come down to the window and there's Colie hey oh
Starting point is 01:12:22 she's like He's gonna go play in the tent. Dad's at the zoo? They're being weird. Behind glass? And mom are being weird. All right. Yeah, he likes to get his football or his baseball glove out
Starting point is 01:12:33 at the beach place. He's got another guy friend out. I'm like he's gonna, especially when the baseball comes out, I'm gonna get a little nervous. Football, not so much. But like, if he doesn't catch it and it goes over and hits somebody in the pool
Starting point is 01:12:44 or not a whole lot of room. Well, I never miss it. I never miss. He hasn't yet. All right, I think it's my turn. I am going to take the TV to watch the other games that are going on. Dang. Nice.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Power move. Truck wings and TV. Truck wings and TV. That's a great. That's like a country show right there. Exactly. Okay. This doesn't, right next to truck wings and TV is tent camping and jenga.
Starting point is 01:13:11 I don't like chairs and jangas. Is TV important, you think? He's tailgating a Morgan Wallen concert. That's right now. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. What was your question? Is TV?
Starting point is 01:13:24 Is that a good pick? I thought it was. I didn't even think about that, but can sit. Well, I'm so, I'm so, I guess it wouldn't across my mind because, you know, we're kind of just now into this day and age where you can throw a TV up. Right. And have the service and everything right. It's not traditional. It's not traditional.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Does a TV need a hotspot or can you work a TV like that? I think if, like, you can cast from your phone. Yeah. So as long as it's got power. Just a screen. Got it. But you might need a hotspot. But my phone comes with a hotspot now.
Starting point is 01:13:54 So Xfinity has hotspots. You can throw that in your truck. It's right. In my truck, yeah. See, that's why I need the truck. All right. My last thing is going to be free parking. What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:14:07 Oh, yeah. Wait, what? Free parking. How can you bring free parking? You know a guy? You know a guy down at the, oh, you need to bring it? Are we bringing stuff? Rules analyst.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Yeah. Take a new one. What are you talking about? No. I, the best. You wasted $50 for a free parking in your truck. You brought a TV. You can spend $50 on a parking.
Starting point is 01:14:26 As far as I'm concerned, I'm going over to Dalton's for wings and a TV because I give two s' about the free parking in the truck he's got. All right, fine. I'll pick a new one. I thought it was a good pick. I'm sorry. Obviously.
Starting point is 01:14:37 I'm being so critical. God, I need help. That's right. Then I'm going to pick. I should appreciate it. Like, I think at least like the car in the spot is like almost a guaranteed. Like, oh, we're tail-dating. I'm surprised you didn't say.
Starting point is 01:14:50 You could park like a mile away. That's not a mile. It's not far. It could be nice. But you know what? Rules analyst, Travis says I have to pick a new one. I'm going to go with cornhole. Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:01 He went from free parking to cornhole. Listen. All right. I guess it's my turn now. Yeah. I'm going to go with Amy's deviled eggs. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 01:15:12 That's like a slap in the face because you said it's specifically Amy's deviled eggs. So Amy can't even. bring it to her own. Nope. Should come visit me. Yeah? No, I got the speaker. Bring your speaker.
Starting point is 01:15:26 Just messed up. Is it my turn? No, it's Andrews and I cannot wait. I don't know whether to feed people or to have some sort of drink. He's going to bring a Stanley with water in it. Yep. His camelback. You know what?
Starting point is 01:15:44 Maybe this will save it. Maybe not. It's still probably going to sound lame. But you can never go wrong with pizza. All right. All right, pizza. Did I save myself? That was probably your first real tailgating pick.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Damn it. Amy with the last pick. I'm bringing champagne. Wow. Cocktails dip and a speaker. I just realized I have a clean tailgate. I don't have any alcohol. You're a dry tailgate.
Starting point is 01:16:12 So am I. Well, we knew that. No one is shocked. No one is surprised. I've got two options. Amy has two drinks. All right. If we're ranking these.
Starting point is 01:16:28 So let's just recap here. Dale has beer, barbecue, ball throw, and deviled eggs. Nice with the alliterations there. Amy has speaker, jello shots,
Starting point is 01:16:39 chips and dip, and champagne. Dalton has truck, wings, TV, and cornhole, and I have tent, camping chairs, Jenga, and pizza.
Starting point is 01:16:49 All right, we're going to our panel of judges? Well, we're going to ask our ask the fans here. These are our panel of judges. Tim's. First thoughts, Tims.
Starting point is 01:16:58 First thoughts. Andrew, don't even post yours. I'm going to get so much hate. I'm going to get so much hate. Dalton free parking was a wild. Hey, I thought that's a real thing. It's like $100 to park at the Panthers team. I would say Dale and Amy's is a tie for me.
Starting point is 01:17:16 Yeah. I can't fit between the two right now. All right. I think I'm getting slept on here I think you suck Dalton Um Wait you're not a judge Camping out Disney on ice
Starting point is 01:17:28 That's what you're doing That's where he's at He's not the book stories At dinner on ice Looking at everyone else's Because I'm obviously not staying at my own I would go to Amy's All right
Starting point is 01:17:38 I think Yeah Well beer and barbecues Like two of my favorite things So I think that would be Traveling to Dales If I had to pick one Yeah
Starting point is 01:17:46 I would just bring my TV in my truck What other foods? I was trying to think of like Hot dogs, hamburgers. I would visit. Yeah, you're right. I would visit Amy. Yeah, chili, like a pot of chili or something.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I would visit Amy for this music. I would come see Dalton for the wings and I would see Andrew for the tent. Yeah, he too needs the tent. Nice. You put this up by yourself? For the pity. For the pity.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Wow. He comes see Andrew for a hug. It's the relative that you have to see on the holiday. You're like, let's get the family. this over with. We both need to be careful in the sun. That's right. Yeah. I'd come and get out of the sun a little bit and hang out with you. Yeah. It'll be someone to talk to at mine. Yeah. Help you catch the jenga. So that it doesn't make a big noise when it falls. Yeah. Amy, did you have a comment about anybody's in particular? I actually think a truck's a good
Starting point is 01:18:42 idea. So I don't understand why he was so hard on you about that. You can be hard on me about parking, I guess everybody else is. Yeah, that was really stupid. I guess, yeah. Looking back now, thinking about it. Yeah, probably. I like the TV idea, too. Everybody's sitting around.
Starting point is 01:18:56 So we could sit. We could stand and watch TV at yours. Yeah, because I have all the chairs. You can sit on the tailgate. That's the thing. The truck is so versatile. You could set up food on the tailgate. You could sit on it.
Starting point is 01:19:07 That's true. We want to take a moment to talk about a true kitchen staple and partner of Junior Motorsports for 16 consecutive years. Hellman's mayonnaise. The number one. selling mayonnaise brand. For over 100 years, Helmonds has been creating mayonnaise that's not just creamy and smooth, but it's made with real high-quality ingredients. It's that commitment to quality that makes Helmand's stand out. Whether you're using it to make Buffalo chicken dip for a game

So the next time you're in the store, grab yourself a jar of Helmand's mayonnaise and taste the difference that real quality ingredients make. Hey, that was fun. I want to thank Helmonds for sponsoring our tailgate draft.
Starting point is 01:20:10 I'm hungry now. And yeah, no, I can't wait to try this. try the Helmonds on the turkey. Yeah, we should do that. Yeah, because I think that would be awesome. Well, if you're wondering why we're talking about tailgating and later on in the show, we're going to discuss some college football
Starting point is 01:20:27 in our Dirty Moe Doe segment. We enjoy college football and especially tailgating here at Dirty Moe. Helmins has teamed up with us to bring you the scoop on bowl season. All right? The scoop on bowl season. From now until the college football championship game,
Starting point is 01:20:44 we will be giving you tailgate inspiration with some great Helmand's recipes while we also talk a little college football. Our Dirty-Mo-Doe crew, Tampa Tams, and Travis Rockhole will be helping us with betting advice and predictions on the big bowl games, and we'll be breaking down the college football playoffs as they expand to 12 teams for the first time ever. Check out the scoop-on bowl season, presented by Helmonds on Dirtymoe media social channels. You won't want to miss it.
Starting point is 01:21:12 All right, so it's time for Dirty Mo-Dough with Tampa Timbs. and Tampa Thames without any racing going on. What did we get into this past weekend? A lot of football. A lot of college football, NFL football, mild success. But, yeah, so it's football season. Yeah, I was working all weekends, so I didn't really get to partake in any fun bets.
Starting point is 01:21:32 We did do our parlay from Thursday for the commanders' Eagles games. That was terrible. Disaster. Scary let us down, man. Man, my commanders just didn't get it down. done. They hung around, but in the end, they just got beat. Our parlay was pitiful. But, hey, we're going to step back up to the table, and we got a game coming up on Monday night that we're going to do a parley for for this show. It's an all-texas affair with Houston
Starting point is 01:22:05 versus Dallas. And so let's go ahead and get into it. I got a couple ideas on a leg for our parlay, but I'll let you guys go ahead and go first. I'll go first, I'll kick it off. All right. I'm going to go with the easy one. CD Lamb over four and a half catches. Okay. Go with the superstar for the Cowboys.
Starting point is 01:22:21 All right. All right. All right. I am going to go with a fun one. I'm taking Brandon Aubrey. Brandon Aubrey is that his name? Over six and a half points. Is that the kicker?
Starting point is 01:22:33 The kicker for the Cowboys. That's a fun one, yeah. He is electric. I've got free parking. Yeah, right. Hey, I think it's fun. They're not going to score much. You think that, I mean, so with DAC out,
Starting point is 01:22:45 for the Cowboys, I don't know nothing about this new quarterback, so I haven't, I wasn't going to bet anything on the Dallas side. Do they still have Treelance? Yes, but he's not. He's not the guy. So does anybody here know anything about how they moved the ball this past weekend? Not well. Yeah, but, you know, if they're not going to be up, so they're going to throw the ball. You think they can even get these field goals that you're looking for? Dude, he guy hits like 70 yarders. Okay. It's wild. All right. So I'm going to go, I was going to be a toss-up between Nick Collins 60 receiving yards or more
Starting point is 01:23:17 or a mixing anytime T.D. And I couldn't really decide that anytime TD is a little bit more of a risk. I think the Nick Collins is probably a better prop for the parley. It's his, you know, I think his over under is like 72 yards.
Starting point is 01:23:34 So I'm going to go with 60 plus yards. Even though they may not need to throw the ball a lot, I'm going to go with that Nick Collins receiving yards. Niko, sorry, Nico. Over 60, you said? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:23:50 I like it. Time for our anchor. The anchor. Give me the team from the great state of Texas. Houston. All right, the Houston money line. I'm worried about the Nico Collins receiving yards because they may not need to throw. I like Joe Mixing.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Mixing Anytime TD. Golly, should we put that one in? Let's add them both. Don't ask me. We can add them both. We add them both. I'll add them both. Both.
Starting point is 01:24:18 It's a bonus. You don't have to. Pick one or the other if you're not comfortable with the Nicco Collins because they may not need to use them, right? But I'm going to add them both. What the hell? I think it all together. Oh, Dalton, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Can't parlay it? You can't parlay your kicker. Dang it. I wanted to have fun with the kicker, man. All right. Well, then you know what? Give me Joe Mix the anytime touchdown. Then we can make it a real thing.
Starting point is 01:24:44 All right. Because I like, I like, Joe mixing a lot. That guy is a beast. C.D. Lamb at four plus catches. Nico Collins at over 60 yards, receiving 60 or more, and mixing anytime TD with the Houston Money Line. That's the bet for Monday, Texas, and the Texans in Dallas are going at it.
Starting point is 01:25:07 All right. What else is on the preview for the upcoming week? College football. It's getting. down to where you got to really show your resume for the college football playoffs. Three big games that you got to highlight here. Number five, Indiana. They're at number two Ohio State.
Starting point is 01:25:23 Ohio State is a 12-point favorite in this one. Indiana's undefeated 10-0. And a lot of people say if they lose this game really badly, they'll be out of the college football playoffs. Ohio State will. Indiana. Or Indiana, sorry. So big days. What's the bet?
Starting point is 01:25:35 I think you take Indiana. The 10-0. They've been good to me. I bet it almost every week. Money line? Plus 12. Plus 12. Oh, plus 12.
Starting point is 01:25:41 Let's take the points. Gotcha. All right. What next? Then you got Army versus Notre Dame. It's the night game, 7 p.m. Army, same boat. They're undefeated.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Probably need to win out or at least get to the conference game to make the playoffs. But they're 16-point underdogs, and Notre Dame is on a tear right now. They're covering everything. I would take Notre Dame. Mine is 16. The points. Yeah. Gotcha.
Starting point is 01:26:04 And the last one is Coach Prime, Colorado. Electric Factory. They're 8 and 2. And they need to win. every game to win the Big 12, and that's probably their only way to get into the college football playout. So, again, another team needs to win out. They're at Kansas.
Starting point is 01:26:20 They're only four and six, but they just be BYU undefeated. It was undefeated. And they are only two and a half point underdogs, Kansas. So I'm taking Coach Prime. Okay. I'm taking Coach Prime and Shadier Sanders to get it done here. You're parlaying all those? You can if you want.
Starting point is 01:26:38 So Colorado is minus two and a half? Minutes two and a half, yeah. All right. Man, I'm going to get in on that. That sounds fun. Thanks for the ideas. That's what it's all about. It should be pretty fun trying to ride this together and see what happens.
Starting point is 01:26:51 It's a great week of football coming up. A great weekend of football coming up. And thanks for stopping by, Tampa 10. Awesome. Thank you. I was told to, real quick, ask about your NFL parlay. Oh, yeah. The Indie Modo boys.
Starting point is 01:27:04 We had a six-teamer, and Kansas City let us down pretty heavily. Oh, man. So the undefeated team. comes in. Yep, we had him plus three and a half. And yeah, the last touchdown really screwed us there. That 40-yard scramble by Josh Allen. I think it was like plus 30, 20 odds.
Starting point is 01:27:19 So it was a big payout too. Damn. Yeah. Jeez. Sorry about that. Yeah, it's okay. All right. I haven't been winning many of them. So, I mean, it's as usual.
Starting point is 01:27:27 All right, man. Thank you, Tampa Tams. There'll be more Dirty Mo Doze segments throughout the all season here on the Dale Jr. Download and also check out dirty Moeau's YouTube page. They're always cranking out content over there for the remainder of the year.
