Well, it's a bit of a family affair on the Dell Jr. download this week. If you listen to Tuesday's episode, then you know that Amy Earnhardt joined Dale on his show to really kind of prove just how much they know each other as husband and wife. And that provided, man, so many laughable moments. So if you haven't listened to that episode, go back and listen to that before you get any further into this episode. Because we're going to continue with that fun today. We have Ask Jr. and Amy that we're going to roll out for you. We've also got Dale's niece, Carson Ellage here, to react to some of those moments. moments, and she's got to prove just how well she knows her uncle. We got DJD Reloaded starting right now. The following is a production of Dirtymo Media. Welcome into another episode of DJD. Reloaded. He tends to hide the weird stuff and not quite that. Those are things that you can't foresee when you have kids.

An inchworm mermaid in the house. She's like going through the flavor profile, and I'm like, give me the biggest. I don't care, buddy. Welcome in to another episode of DJD Reloaded. I'm your host Carla Gebhard and a lot of great content today and a guest as well, Carson Ellage, rejoining us again on DJD Reloaded. This is your second time joining us. And can we start making this a regular thing?

I bug Mike all the time. I'm like whenever you guys need somebody to fill in, I'm bugging him to get my own. I mean, whatever I've got to do. But we're working on it. That's right. I believe they actually asked you on Monday to come on the episode. And then you ended up being a part of a story on Tuesdays. episode with this houseboat deal. So are you a little responsible for all of that? I don't know if I what

who's talking? What did you not listen to this? What did I? Apparently you said you sent a picture to Dale and that's eventually why he ended up purchasing the houseboat because it found him again, but it was I guess a little bit through you. Yes, a friend of mine found it through a friend of theirs and he was like, hey, I heard Dale was looking at this boat. Yes, I did. And so I told him whenever it, whenever it's ready to go, I get first dibs on taking it out. Yeah, Amy, not too happy about it, but she's adjusting, I think. That's at least what we learned on Tuesday's episode. But we've got more moments between Dale and Amy. First of all, just their dynamic is amazing. And that's something that you've witnessed before, right? It's funny. I feel like

when we get into this episode, I'm going to be rewatching like bigger arguments that they have in the kitchen on Christmas, you know? So this will be funny. I'm sure I won't see much that'll shock me, but I'm sure it'll be good. Yeah. All right. So let's go ahead and get to the Ask Junior Ask Amy portion. All right, everybody. We're live and thank you again for tuning in and supporting us here at Dirty Mo Media and the Dale Jr. download on our YouTube channel.

And as promised, our guests today, Amy, guest host, if you will. And instead of Ask Junior, we're going to ask Amy. So hopefully you guys and gals have thrown some questions together that'll be fun for all of us to talk about and some good questions for Amy. y'all wanted her to come back on the show she's going to start coming on the show the first of the month every month a recurring guest host role so we're thankful and excited about

that i'm excited too this is fun yeah so uh let's just get right to it Andrew yes this first question's from brett amy what is it like having uh dale home for the entire like summer slash fall with no broadcasting it's been great um he's getting really good memories and experiences with the girls I will say that I have enjoyed all of the activities and fun things we've been doing, but there was a point when we were at the beach where I thought somebody better come get this man because I'm not used to having him home so much. And I do like being alone. Having Dale around is like, and I don't mean this the wrong way.

I think every wife thinks this about their husband is like having another person to care for. So like you just don't ever get to relax. And so there's a little of that. But no, I'm excited to have him around. Well, I mean, I would totally have took, you know, took off for a day. You did. You went to the racetrack a couple weeks ago and, you know, I wasn't mad about that. All right.

Yeah, so I've enjoyed it. And it's been a fun, fun year. We got a lot more year left, a lot more fun things planned, some more trips that we're going to take. We're probably going to, this is, I mean, I don't know if we'll ever have another year like this. I don't think we will. I mean, it was a gift because of your birthday and the time. of it was great. So we've enjoyed it. Does that make it easier just like, you know, to be able to take that time off just knowing like, all right, this is, this is something we can soak in.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm nervous about next year and getting back to work and, you know, taking a break, you get out. It's like kind of like, what is it when, what's the jump rope when you jump in, you get in now and other people are coming in. Popscotch? No, the jump broodutch. Double Dutch. So broadcasting feels a lot like that. Double Dutch, I imagine. Yeah. And so like if you take a break and don't do it for a while and then you're just all of a sudden going to jump right back in. I'm a little nervous how smooth it'll go because we don't have like five races to get good. And I know how long it took us at NBC to feel like we were hitting our stride and it was a little bit longer in five races.

So I'm a little bit nervous about that and doing nothing really to like keep myself aside from, I guess, the podcast. So there's some nervousness underneath all that. But yeah, we got a lot of good times, good times and plans for the rest of the year that are going to be exciting and good good memories with the girls really really enjoying you know being with being with the girls and Amy and so it's good any uh to any jump ropers slash broadcasters in the YouTube chat let us know if that analogy anybody does I write about that double dutchers I think yeah hey any double dutchers in the YouTube chat good comparison yeah who also broadcast you'd be

surprised how large our following of double dutchers is it's half the audience actually There is a dirt move. There's got to be someone. There's got to be someone. Double touch team. We're going to start one. I'll tell you that. This next one is from John on Twitter.

What's the weirdest or most random thing you've seen, Dale, bye? And there are a few of these questions floating around on Twitter. He tends to hide the weird stuff and I'll find it. That sounds terrible. This goes back to feeling like a half. another child in the house, excuse me, another child in the house to take care of because he knows it's something he'll get nagged for. He used to eat fireballs that you get the giant box of them and we actually used to go to like Sam's or whatever can buy those. And this is before kids,

but he used to sit on the couch after hours and just suck on fireballs, watch some TV, YouTube, whatever. But what he did with the middle part of it was ticket in the couch pushing. and we didn't find them for a very long time. We were learning things. Our housekeeper... I was a bachelor. Our housekeeper was cleaning underneath the sofa. And she calls Sunny out.

She's like, Sunny, I don't know what this is, but there's a bunch of tiny little white pebbles underneath the couch. And they smell like cinnamon. And Sonny starts dying laughing. He's like, that's a damn fireball. He's spitting his fireballs out in the cook. The cushions of the couch and they're trickling down into the middle of where the couch separates and getting in the carpet. Bringing Amy home was a bad idea.

Oh, this is great. Yeah, don't wear shorts on that couch. You start to burn your ass. It's ridiculous. It smells amazing. It smells great. This room smells like cinnamon all this. Why do we have mice running through here?

There's never any mice. There were two. No, not upstairs. Not upstairs. They stay downstairs. That's not true. Tucks brought one and put it on my chest that day. From outside, he brought it in the cat.

He brought it in the... Right, so they can get in the house. And they were well fed. Fireballs in the couch. They were well fed. Oh my gosh. He just recently bought a bunch of candy that I intercepted.

And he's constantly... All those nerds? The nerd gummy things? Oh, yes. The clusters never... Yeah, we were talking about that. Yeah. He bought a giant box full of them.

Like, what are you going to do with that? I'm going to hide that in my computer room. So that's what he does. He sits in there needs. Now you know where they went. He used to eat. They lost. They're lost.

He used to eat. Where are they? Did I hide them? Did I lose my own nerds clusters or did you throw them out? I'll never tell. Yep. Right on. I have to say, though, those nerd gummy clusters are prime.

But I feel like, I mean, this is just a big kid buying candy, hiding it for mom. 100%. When the question was, what's the weirdest thing he bought? Candy was not the answer I was expecting because we all know he's. gets busy on eBay, but Lots of Legos purchased lately. That's what I've heard.

That's what I've heard. I guess he hit his gummy clusters from himself. They hit him so good. Yeah. Maybe that's a good thing for Amy. She just blames it on him when she may be actually,

yeah, stole them away. She also has two kids, too, that she doesn't want them to find it, right? Yeah. Clean out all the candy. The last thing you want to do is give sugar to, yeah,

two children and then possibly your husband. Dad also. Yeah. All right. So lots of good moms. so far between Dale and Amy let's go ahead and get to a few more this next one

this next one's from Blaney Best I wonder who their favorite driver is I don't know Amy what was your reaction to Dale telling you about getting stung by the bees you got stung again by the was? Yeah like the wash nest The first time it happened

that and the new nest that was in the pool cover or the outlet cover. Well, every time, I missed that, and I was so mad. I'm like, wait a second, you did what? And I didn't get a glimpse of this. He says he pulled it open and then darted all the way around the back of the pool, screaming out loud. Thought that would deter them.

Somebody needed to have seen that happen. I almost wish we could get one of the IT guys to look at the homes scaring cameras and find it. I thought I was going to scare them off. Like a bear. Yeah. That's that big. Yeah. Swatting and screaming definitely gets rid of bees.

I read that somewhere. That's totally different. Wasp is way meanier. Maneer. We have so many different types of bugs, cornets was all of them that all around. But the first time we got sung was his own fault, this would have been equally your own fault, knowing that they were in there. He doesn't come with tools. He doesn't come with, you know, any bug killer or anything like that.

He just thinks he can earn hard the situation. He brought his He's going to be scared of me That's going to be a new Just earnhearted out You yearnhearted it Oh I got to write that down I love that's a t-shirt right there

It's a verb man He's a deled it An adjective You got an out-intimidator the I love it What else we got Andrew I'm reading Someone said you need to clean the couch

And people We have a new couch People love the nerds Let's see I'm just running this one is a question asking for permission Terry wants to know can Dale Jr. run the Thanksgiving classic

at Southern National is that the one you run last year in the year before? No. That's the one before, that's the week before Thanksgiving. This race falls on Thanksgiving. No.

Oh, yeah, that's probably not one you can run. No, I don't have a problem with that. I don't want to miss Thanksgiving. I wish they wouldn't. Yeah, I wish they wouldn't. I wish no one would race on holidays ever, no series. Because it's like. Like the major holidays.

I'm not going to be there. I mean, unless my job, like my broadcasting job might require it. But like, you know, it was, we were, yeah, we went around, we went around like, you know, taking a job that would require me to be away from the family on the 4th of July. Yeah. Oh, we did. Yeah, we did. It was like, I'm in this space.

minute we've got two little kids and we do all this stuff at the beach in the summertime and now you want to this is going to be the best option yeah that really stinks and fourth of july lands on like friday saturday sunday so he literally will miss the whole thing and that's important i don't want to but you know so now we are yeah um let's see i'm bouncing back and forth here between the youtube chat and the ones that i have saved let's go uh this one's from katy which uh professions you think like the girls will go into just you know if you had to guess now this from both of you i guess ila doesn't want to commit to anything yet she'll bounce her out she says dress designer she'll say she wants to be a mom which is kind of interesting to me because she's got really

a very unempathetic vibe and um i'm not sure she's going to want to do something that she can be fully in control of so let's just say that Nicole is down for anything she's wild she could try to dabble in this and that with race cars and girly stuff. She signed up for dance lessons, which is going to be so cute. But professionally, I don't know. I mean, I just want to keep her out of prison at this point. Seems like she's like the kid that's going to push every envelope. Right?

Yeah. Where does she get that from? Yeah. Oh, whatever. The birthdays are two days apart. They're going to naturally just be more similar, I think. She looks like me, but acts like him. which is scary.

Yeah. I mean, I'll let Amy answer all that because I think she's going to have a better answer than I will, but I think that it's impossible to see there's really not anything that the girls are into right now that's like, oh man,

you know, they're majorly interested in this. Wait, there is. What is it? Isla seems to think that she can really be a mermaid. Oh. And so there are people out there that do that.

professionally or like there's things. Maybe she could, yeah, maybe she could work. Which I'm scared to let her know about because I don't want her to do that forever. Well, I mean, I know, but I mean, maybe she could get into acting and, and, you know, that type of thing where she could, she could be mermaids or whatever it is, right? I don't know. It's a slippery slope.

Like, it's funny how they have both adopted a mythical character. Like, I love mermaids and Nicole was into unicorns. And like, it's a hard stance. She wears a unicorn horn every single day. Nicole, really? Or her bingo hat. From Flewian bingo, she'll wear this, like, full costume of hat. Yeah, they have the, what do they call?

Every outfit. That's awesome. It's like a hair thing. What's it called? A headband. Headband. And it's, they make the headbands with a unicorn. And I, and Nicole has to wear that pretty much every day.

And we have about four. There's a half a dozen of them floating around the house. I mean, Jesus, there's like at least 70 headbands. of them girls, but there's like four or five that had the unicorn horn on it. And so Nicole's a unicorn all day, every day. And Ila, if Ila could be in a mermaid tail, like they sell them like 10 bucks on Amazon, any color you want. Like she would wear a mermaid tail and scoot around on her butt in the house. She would do that.

That's her all day. I'm serious. Those are things that you can't foresee when you have kids. Like this is probably something I'm going to have to deal with. an inchworm mermaid in the house. And you're like, hey, come to the table for dinner and she's got an inchworm across. You know, just take it off and come on.

Nope. Not that's too easy. Nope. That's not a do what a mermaid would do. This is from Alex. Any strange superstitions or routines? I guess for either of you guys. Yeah.

I don't know. I think do y'all ever you're doing, say you're doing a chore or doing a, doing something around the house and you'll, uh, do, you'll do, you'll cut a corner or do something lazy in that process and you'll, your, your mind will say, you better go back and do that the right way or put that where it belongs. Yeah, like, you know what you did. Yeah, instead of putting, instead of putting, instead of putting, it's just your conscience. It's just your thing here, right? Say it's a hand towel. You like, you, you throw it down on the

counter and you walk away and your mind and you walk away and your mind who's, you better go back and fold that up. Exactly. I do that all the time. Because because you've just derailed the entire day. The entire day. You're talking like a butterfly effect. Like it's going to cause everything. Yes. Oh. Yes. So I do that. That's interesting. That's interesting. I don't think of it. Consider you leave the pretzels out on the counter. That's not big enough. Well, no. What if he's manifesting good luck from that. You want to know what's interesting? You want to know what's interesting? You want to know what's interesting? What's interesting. Is when I, I put the, I put, I had that thought about the pretzels.

Really? Yes. He did it anyway. Yep. So I mean, there's. He just likes my attention. So it doesn't matter if it's positive or negative. We're just going to do things like that.

That's not true. So, but I have that. I do that. Yeah. I can hear your voice in my head. I'm like, you better go back and fix that. Because if you don't, it's bringing in some bad vibes and you're going to have some trip ups throughout the day.

So I'll turn around and go fix it. and I'm like, save it, save the day. I just have that classic guilt inside of me. I'm like, you're going to feel like an idiot if you don't go back and do it the right way. Yeah, and I go and do it.

Maybe that guilt is the butterfly effect couldn't think they were talking about. I got the pretzels out and made a little bowl. This was in the middle afternoon because Amy and me had a conversation while I was eating my pretzels. I just remember that. And so, but I put them back,

I put them on the counter. He did politely stop crunching on the pretzels so that we could talk. That was nice. When I got the pretzels and put them in the bowl. I put it on the counter and I had a little brief moment of going, yep,

I'm going to, I'm going to regret leaving them right there. I'm going to leave them right there because I might want some more, but I know I probably should have put them back in the cupboard. And yep, this is going to. How far is the trip? This is not the right.

It's not far. We're there, right? I remember having this little quick moment of like, this is not the right thing to do. I should put them back in there. but I went right to the couch to walk the way anyway yeah to finish my drink

and eat my presents I don't really have superstitions the black hat thing is the only one I would I would say I Walking under a ladder Yeah I don't really mess with ladders but I feel like That's just common sense you know Don't walk under a ladder so you don't get smashed

But I don't really care about it as a superstition as much It's just common sense Just common sense I've adopted Dale's $50 rule The $50 bill As dad apparently thought that was bad luck so we don't carry $50 bills. So half the time you'll get,

if you want money out of the cash machine, you're going to get a $50 or $20 or $100 bill, right? Is that for the most part true? And if we get 50s, he's like, give them back. Really? So I've adopted that. Yeah, we flew home from Vegas. We had been there for a race or something,

and I had $50 bills in my purse. And I didn't even tell them before we got on the plane because I didn't want to hear about it. But yeah, it's a big deal of $50. What else? Yeah, the $50 bill, if you're in, If you're a race fan and understand like peanuts, the color green, there's a bunch of racing automotive motorsport superstitions.

I think the $50 bill falls into that. All right. So this has got to be something you can speak to as a family member. Is this something that you also abide in and have heard about? 100%. One, it's standard, I think, for racing in general for a lot of people, but definitely our family, no $50 bills. And I honestly didn't even know where that came from or why that was such a thing for me,

but I guess now I know. Does your mom also do that as well? My stepdad, mom, yeah, everybody. Why do you think it is, though? I guess it's, I think it's like always been a superstition, but I had no idea. Like, I didn't know that Dale was so serious about it. And like all of them were so serious about it. So I guess it's a family thing as well.

Any other superstitions in the family that we need to know about? Not that I can think of. Okay. Just the $50 bill. Just $50 bills, but I'll keep you updated. I should tell them, you know, if they want to get rid of their 50s, they can give them to me, That's a really good idea. I think you should.

I'll take it. I don't race anymore. We're putting this out there for everybody to listen. Anyone that wants to get rid of $50 bills, send them my way. I'll take them. All right. We still got a little bit more to get to from Ask Junior Ask Amy. So let's go ahead and get to it.

We got a YouTube comment from Drew, your hot air balloon friends. Oh, we love that. Oh, heck yeah. Yeah. They're awesome. He wanted to know who got the most afraid on the hot air balloon ride. We didn't go out. I haven't taken one.

You haven't. Okay, then who do you think will? Probably me. I don't know. Ila really wants to go up. Oh, yeah. She's scared of boatwake, so she's probably not really going up anytime soon. She really wants to watch them take off, too.

Nicole has gotten to see that twice, and just by happenstance, Ila's not been at home when that happened. Yeah. It was funny. So you and Ila. I took her to Disney on ice, and I thought I'm like, I'm like on top, right, doing all this, like, really awesome mom stuff. and I text Dale

I'm like sending pictures let her have a blue slurpy or whatever this Elsa thing was she's gonna melt down we're gonna be fine it's all good they're having a bag and he sends a photo back

with no words and he and Nicole are standing inside of the hot air balloon because it landed in the Buffalo field at the house that's right

of course this is what happened to you today it literally fell in our yard fell in the yard and Amy's like you can't tell Nicole don't tell

Ila. Isla. Isla went to Disney on ice and she's going to be mad. She wasn't home for the home. Oh, man. You know, every year in Statesville they have that balloon festival. Yes, I have taken Isla to that. And I took her trick-or-treating at the balloon festival.

They did that last year, too. Does she know that happen? Yeah, she knows that. She found out? She keeps asking me to have the balloons come take off. We did that another time. But the weather has to be just perfect for that. It was like a damn.

You know how, I mean, all of us, everyone online can relate to this. And you're a kid and you see that hot air balloon in the sky. It's a marvel. It is. It is. And for that thing to come toward you and you're like,

it's going to land. It's going to land here. It's landing out of our yard. And you run over there and you're like, hey, is it really? It's real. It's real. You don't touch it.

Yeah. You're like, it's real. You can't believe it. You can't believe it. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. It comes down with. And then the people are nice.

And they're like, hey, you ever want to ride? You go. And so I started following them on social media. And one of the coolest things I ever seen. They, they, and to Amy's point, for any of the, for their rides, they're kind of predicted by the weather. So this, this isn't something they can just make happen every time they go on these trips. But this particular ride, that particular day,

took them out over the lake and he brought that balloon down to where the bottom of the basket drug across the top of the water just barely grazed the top of the lake and it was like glass that day. It was so smooth. How insane. Just for a couple seconds and then they went back. Yeah and then they lifted it back. Yes.

Like honestly that's crazy. And so and but to like to answer the original question about being scared so I have this weird maybe not weird but maybe people do maybe somebody else does this I'd feel comfortable if somebody to admit to doing this and not leave me on an island.

But anytime that I'm going to go do something that is risky, I make a deal with myself the moment before I go do it, that, hey, if I'm going to do this, I'm totally okay if this is how I go. Okay. That is a race car driver's mentality, if I've ever heard one. Yeah. I don't do that. Do you do that?

No. I'm praying. Please don't take me today. I'm like, I don't want to go this way. I mean, there are certain moments you're like, all right, well, this would be a cool way to do it. Like, I don't want to go that way. No, yeah, you don't want to go. I also don't want to sit on a, like if we're going to fly overseas or something, right?

It's eight hours. I don't want to sit there the whole time going, hmm, I don't want to go this way. Oh, man, you know, I don't want this to go bad. Oh, I hope we have a great flight. There are a lot of people with flight anxiety. I know. I could. I think I could easily create that anxiety if I let it.

But I make a deal like in my mind like, all right, going to fly today. And if this is how it goes, this is how it goes. And it's predetermined, right? Or whatever, I have to tell myself to make myself totally okay. If I get that far in my brain about it, I am not doing it. And so if we have to have that conversation. Yeah, sitting here right now, I'm absolutely nervous and anxious about getting on a hot air balloon. But if it was to the point of getting ready to climb in the basket, I'd say right before I got in that basket, I'm doing this and this is how it goes, this is how it goes.

Let's go across the lake, drag that damn basket. Go on. Woo! And so. Flip it. Come on. decided you and I are not flying in the hard-air balloon together. I'll go by myself.

Man. I think that would be a better choice. My friend Hank Parker Jr., I believe, proposed to his wife on a hot air balloon ride. Really? Wow. The last time we went and saw these people take off, Greg Biffel and his wife were going up. Yeah. And they said they had an amazing time.

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. And they're completely safe. And they're completely safe. Like, they're, I talked to them about, um, about their protocols and stuff. And it's like, got to be perfect weather. They, they already have a, you know, they understand when and all that. And of course, you know, the course is plotted.

And they've got all these little options to get, get back down to the ground. And they land with at least, at the least another hour of fuel left. They don't like push it to the, right. Yeah. Yeah. Limit. So it's very, very safe. Yeah.

That's good. That is a good one. We got time for one more. Absolutely. One more good. Sure. Favorite family meal that you guys like to have. Like if it's like, oh man, like we're going to have a nice meal tonight.

Like what are we making? We should have done that in the newly way. Oh, really? What's Amy's like? No, no. He said family. Not just the thing I make for you. Oh, well, I could.

You could. We could do another round. We can fire it back up if you want. Family meal. Feeding our toddlers is generally painstaking. So if we're going out to eat, it's going to be Mexican food. we go get sushi, everybody's pretty happy. Those are two great options.

Yeah, they are. Tacos, you cannot go wrong with either. Yeah, I agree. If we're cooking, I don't know. I generally can cook something for Dale and myself, and then the kids get something different. I don't know what the favorite is. Yeah, Amy's a really, really good cook.

So there's a lot of things that she, I mean, she makes that are great. There's not like a, you know, there's a lot of standouts. There's not just one. There's a buffalo chicken soup that she makes that's really good. But honestly. We eat a lot of bowls. So I'm just like meal prep and we'll have, just smash it all into a bowl. I like, and we were discussing this yesterday, I like when we go to dinner as a family.

Yeah. I feel like that it's a practice that takes effort and the reward on the back end is really nice because, and your kids get out of the house. We live kind of off in the woods a little bit, not in a big neighborhood where there's a lot of activity. And so we kind of wish that we wish that we had activity. Like there was friends down the street or next door and across the street and other kids. in the neighborhood and we don't really have that. So it's fun to get out to town and the kids get an experience.

Yeah, it's almost necessary to get out and have some socialization. Yeah. Definitely. And I have Epic Chop House is probably my favorite place to go. Great spot. We don't go there a ton or as much as I'd like, pine to sky pizza. Everybody knows my favorites around town. But there's a lot of new restaurants that are getting.

Yeah, we just went to the Savannah Oyster Bar. Yep. It was delicious. How is that? Really good. Really good. Kaylee wants to go. They're so bad.

It's a good date spot. All right. I'm going to say this. Like, I love the raw bar in Key West. Getting a dozen oysters at the raw bar. I'm sure is just like getting a dozen oysters in a lot of places up and down the coasts. The coast of Florida and the Carolinas and so forth. I mean, all of those places.

Everybody serves a dozen oysters pretty much the same way. It's in a bed of ice and got all the stuff, right? I have never seen a better looking dozen oysters than what we got at Savannah oyster. Picture perfect. It was like shape, perfectly covered. They were ready for a photo shoot

these oysters. And they had six different dipping sauces to put on them and they were all amazing. Yeah, some of the typicals, but they were all homemade. It was a wonderful experience. You should go. I've never had an oyster. I don't need oysters either.

I've had a couple and they came back up. So I'm not going to try them again, especially in public. our waitress said we have all these different kinds right there's multiple dozen a dozen different types of oysters and they have she's like going through the flavor profile and I'm like don't do that I'm like go through the size profile I want the biggest ones give me the biggest yeah I don't care what they taste like it's like it's like I'm not like sitting here going and the back end a little oil a little smoky I don't know

she didn't say that you know salt a little salt no It's a vanilla. Yeah. Right. No, no, I'm not doing that. Just oysters. They're going in and down, in and down, in and down. And just give me the bigger ones.

Right? I've never eaten oysters, so I don't know if that's the way. Oh, maybe this is a good challenge for all you do together. We got to go. I'm afraid. That's probably my, that's probably my biggest. That's your irrational fear. That's my irrational fear.

So there is a good, that's a real reason to have a fear because it's a specific texture that not everybody's used to. And doing that in public is kind of a thing. Yeah, it's like, you feel, even though you know, no one's looking at you. You feel like everyone's looking at you. And they will, they damn sure will. Like for the first time.

Well, no one knows it's your first time. Well, I know. Unless you make it completely obvious to everybody in the room. Everyone. Hey, it's my first oyster. Everyone, please watch. Please watch. Please watch me.

Please hold your applause to the end. I can see Andrew doing that. You should do it. Please come pick me up if I fall over. Yeah. I want to alert you. Here's a list of my life. in the middle of the restaurant.

I give the waitress or waiter or a list of emergency contact for that situation. So if you put it on the saltine and you cover it in the red and the horseradish, it's like freaking amazing. I totally disagree.

That's how I tried it. That's the mistake you made. You can't chew it. If you chew it, you're kind of stuck having to keep chewing it. If you just shoot it back, you can swallow it. That's not for me.

I know. If they're baked, they're really awesome. I've had those. Yeah, I'm a fried oysters. Yeah, fried oysters. Like Rockefeller with the new stuff all over the top. That's how I got into it. Andrew's face is like, I'm very particular about the seafood.

That's just. That's a great point, actually, is the best way to maybe introduce yourself to oysters is through cooked ones first. So the way I learned how to, the way I learned that oysters were amazing is my dad made oyster stew. He would make it on the stove. Okay. And it's just like when he, you know, made that noise blowing his nose in the morning.

He made oysters stew and I'm doing that. I'm going to eat it. Yeah. Oysters. Hey, I didn't know it. Dad is a big oyster fan. So am I now. It's the same thing with snails and frog legs, right?

Yeah. I've seen Dale eat snails before. Oh, yeah. Dad ate snails. I'm a big snails guy. Do you not understand the pattern here? I mean, I'm understanding the pattern. If your dad, like, loved and did something, you.

You do it. You're right. You adopt it. Oh, man. Oasters, what are your thoughts on those? No, thank you. No, thanks. I can't. I think it's a texture thing for me. What about you? Yeah, definitely a texture thing. I've had them a couple of different times, especially from, I don't know, like Louisiana, where they're kind of known for that. But, yeah, it's a little gritty. And they're awkward to eat. Like how Amy said, don't eat them in public. I feel like a lot of people slurp their oysters. No. We have to stop talking about oysters now. Dale is fun. I mean, he is on a role. Like, this is funny. I think I was actually in the building last week when he was talking about oysters. And yeah, he's very passionate about that food. He's very passionate about oysters. Well, that's going to wrap up our portion of Ask Junior Ask Amy. Hope you enjoyed that. But we're still not done with Carson Eledge here in studio. We're going to test her knowledge to see how well she knows her uncle. All right. So now we are going to play a little game with you, Carson. And this is kind of a similar game to what Amy and Dale played on Tuesday and getting to know each other.

but I just want to know before we get started, like on a scale from one to 10, how comfortable, how much do you know about your uncle? Man, I would say I'm like a good confidence seven, eight on some of these. We'll see. Okay. So that's pretty high. So we're talking weirdest habit right now. So you haven't listened to Tuesday's episodes.

So I'll fill you in on what was said. But I want you to kind of give your take on what you think Dale's weirdest habit is. I would say like He might get mad at me For calling this weird But like just like he's just like always picking Like he'll just neck And then he'll pick his nose in interviews

And like just always fidgeting and messing around I would say that's his weirdest habit He's got a nervous tick Yeah Maybe that's what it is Maybe he's just like always moving I think that he just is always What are we doing next?

Okay So Amy gave in a lot of insight And said it was blowing his nose into the towel Have you? Like a shower towel, yeah. Ew. Yeah. She was also equally as grossed out, but that's a pretty big habit.

Apparently, your grandfather used to, maybe he didn't blow into a towel, but he used to blow his nose really loud all the time. I cannot say I've ever done that. Yeah. Yeah. Poor Amy. So wash those? Wash it. Yeah.

She says it's like roulette trying to decide which side of the towel she can or can't use. All right. All right, let's move on to weirdest hobby. What's his weirdest hobby? His hobby changes by the week. I would say, I mean, one day, it's, you know, he's fishing through eBay all day, every day. Legos, I think Legos is his thing right now. Right. Sometimes he'll get obsessed with making playlist and sending them to me. He sent me a 30-hour long alternative rock playlist a couple months ago, because that was his thing at the moment. I mean, I think it just changes with him by the day. We need to get the playlist. That's a couple of months ago. We need to get the playlist. That's

That's a pretty good one. That's a good, that helps you out. I still haven't made it all the way through that playlist. It's so long. We need to get that shared to other people as well. All right. So the weirdest hobby that Amy said is just video games, which I feel like maybe that's probably the most consistent hobby. So I was going to say that, but I didn't know if that was considered weird. Yeah. Maybe not weird. Well, I think Amy says it's because of his age. Okay. Okay. Okay. No, that checks out. That makes sense. Yeah. Okay. Lots of men. I can get on board with that. That's right. All right. The phrase that he uses too often.

What does he say too often? Hey, man. Easy. Hey, man. Yeah. That goes back to our impressions episode that we did earlier. Every time you guys bring me on here, it's to make fun of him in a roundabout way. Do you like that?

Maybe. I'll never tell. Okay. So Amy, I think Jr. I also said this too, but Dale said that I'm all. Like, I'm all. I'm all. I'm going to.

I'm all. Amy said he says that all the time. He does. He does. hey man and I'm all. I'm all, which is a completely made up word. How do you spell that? You think?

I am O-L-E. I am O-L-E. Yeah. I'm all. Put it in the dictionary. All right, let's move on to weirdest fear. Jewelry. You knew that one?

No, he hates jewelry. Okay, so that's exactly what Amy said. And I find this extremely weird because I've never heard of this fear at all before. But they said it's like an egg factor. So all of your necklaces, I've got necklaces on right now. would just be total disgust for him. Yep. Yeah. Like when we go over there for when we do Christmas, anything like that, like it's light necklaces, one bracelet, small earrings. We got to be careful. What do you think the insight is to that? Like, why would somebody be

afraid of jewelry? My mom, my mom, I asked her that once and she said that it, she feels like it had something to do with like my Mimi used to wear a lot of jewelry. And like she had big, like gaudy, almost gaudy jewelry. Uh-huh. And like something. about just that as a child and whatever, whatever it did to Dale, just wasn't it, wasn't it? Yeah, I will say, I've never heard of that before and I thought it was hilarious. Amy, he said that, you know, if I ever get mad at him, I just go put my jewelry on. It's an easy way to do it. Yeah. Love that. All right. Last one. Pet peeve. So what's something that he, well, I guess this is the answer that I have is something that he does. It's a pet peeve for Amy.

Oh, I bet you that is a list. Yeah. Pet peeve. You can also give the pet peeve to maybe what would be his pet peeve, but... My guess would be like impatience. Because he's always just like... Ready to go. Like, can't wait for anybody to do anything.

Like, if he's ready to go on to the next thing, it's time to go. I would... I'll say that. But I'm sure Amy has a list, especially given that she gets to live with him every day. So she said smacking. And there was this whole deal on Tuesday's episode of smacking the grapes and just like any time that she can hear him chew, which I think is actually called misophonia. I don't know if you've ever heard of that. But like there's a lot of people.

You do. Okay. So you have it. So you understand. If you ask my mom, she will tell you that she prefers to not like sit near me at the dinner table because every five seconds I'm just like. You can hear it. I can hear you. Yeah.

I feel like that's a pretty common one for a lot of people. people. Yeah. Just don't want to hear each other chew. It is a nuisance in general. Yeah. I would say. All right. So I feel like you did pretty well. I mean, you knew the jewelry one off the bad. Yeah. What else do you have going this weekend? Anything major? Cars tour goes back to North Wilkesboro this weekend. So we got rained out in May. We get to try it again. We are having the cooler showdown tomorrow night. I'm at a little go-kart track by the racetrack. So busy weekend, but it'll be fun. All right. Well, we'll definitely have to have you back on DJD Reloaded again. Maybe we'll have a different topic other than making fun of your uncle. But either way, it works out for us on our end. Well, I appreciate y'all having me. I will pick on Dale anytime and fill in any time you need me. Thanks, Carson. All right, let's go ahead and move to our white flag. And it is another off week for NASCAR's top three series. And still, though, we have a lot of podcasts that we're putting out through Dirty Mo Media. We had a bonus episode of DVC earlier this week. And it was with Connor Zillich, Jesse Love, and Todd Gillum. and they were talking about just kind of rising up through NASCAR's ranks. So be sure to go listen to that.

We had the Dell Jr. download with Hermie and Elliott Sadler. I love that they had both of those on with Dell earlier this week. And then Speed Street with Connor Daly and Chase Holden. Riley Herps was also on, a NASCAR Xfinity Series driver. So a little bit of crossover there for the IndyCar fans out there and the NASCAR fans. And then, Carson, I'm going to get your pick on this. But Dirty Mo Media Summer Game Live Streams. Have you been in the building when all?

of these guys are putting out the live streams as they're watching the Olympics right now because it seems, I don't know if chaotic is the word, but very entertaining. I have gotten roped in. I walked down there to ask poor little old me. I was asking for a podcast microphone to borrow. And my friend Keely ended up eating an insanely hot, hot sauce cracker. I got to play the jelly bean game. What's the jelly bean game?

game where you like spin a wheel and you pick whatever the jelly bean is and it either tastes like what it's supposed to be or like dirty socks dishwater like gross stuff um i got birthday cake so i was good but yes i have been um i've been a victim of the dirty mo do summer game live streams and again you can find that on the dirty mo dough youtube channel so that's not to be confused with a lot of other channels out there for dirty mo media dirty mo do has its own channel that you you can find the live stream as that crew kind of watches those summer games throughout the next couple of weeks. But we've also got some other really fun content coming out.

You've seen Elimination Pong by the Dirty Mo crew, and that came out earlier this week on Monday. But we've also got event two coming out today. It's going to be out already on social media. It is called the Junior Scooter Shootout. And what do you think about that, Carson? The Junior Scooter Shootout. It's almost hard to say. Five times fast.

Don't do it. Junior Scooter Shootout. That's, I love it. Put it on a t-shirt. Would you do it? Are you going to get invited to some of these games soon? I would hope so. Yeah.

I'm going to have to see Mike after this. Talk about our schedules. Go up to his office. Demand it. Okay, so again, that's going to be on all the social media channels for Dirty Mo Media. And, yeah, a lot of fun things coming out even through the NASCAR break. That'll do it for us today on DJD Reloaded. We'll see you back here next Thursday.
