Hey guys, Dale Jr. The Man with the Bouté and I are back. What the F***ie Media Studio for another episode of Bless Your Heart. The Man with the Bouté. I hear you got a lot of Bouté lovers out there. We've got a great show for you today, guys. We're going to talk about Texas, taking the boat out, and of course, Dale's bottom. The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Bless your heart.

Oh, yeah, this is what it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out. Oh, you look amazing. I was tired. Are you kidding? I couldn't believe it. What's going on? The world is not your trash hand.

I slept till two, smoking cigarettes and drinking amp energy. Lord, have mercy. Don't we. Can we talk about that? What's it feel like to have your butt talked about on the internet? Well, I didn't know what they were meaning by it, but I wasn't up on the slang. I wasn't know if that was good or bad. Well, there was a TikTok put out by a race fan from Anderson.

So my driver's suit for this past weekend was a little tighter than normal. I don't think I've gotten bigger. I really think the suit got a little tighter, at least in my ass. Yeah, so I guess there was some people that appreciated the firm, the cut. The firm? The cut, sorry. I don't know where firm came from. Well, the peaches.

The cut. You got a peach emoji. I did. Yeah. Still got it. It's 50 years old. Yeah. The comments were hilarious.

Travis, of course, sent me the TikTok. You didn't like it. Well, I don't know. It's a little weird. It just seems weird for the comments of, you know, women gawking to be just right there for me to read. It's fine. It is. But I don't know what the term giat is.

Oh, yeah. To me, that sounds like a sound. Like, yeah. It's exactly. Yeah. Damn, look at that. Is that what that is? Yeah, they got a good peach.

You got a good peach? No, no, is it like, God, God, damn. Yeah, like something like that. Yeah. I'm going to start saying that to you is walking behind you off the stairs. Yeah, damn, look at that. Exactly. Perfect.

He's always had a bubble butt, though. Yeah. I've always had an ass. Mm-hmm. Well, booties are in. Not a flat ass here on the Earnhardt. In the Earnhardt camp. Booty, booty, booty.

booty, no, I've got him flush in it. You can't think. Oh, man. I love that. Yeah,

before we get any further, I want to tell everybody about the drink of the week here. We got these nice drinks sitting here beside us. It's the high rock, dirty Shirley. Nice.

Yeah, two ounces of high rock vodka, one ounce of grenadine, six to eight ounces of lime, lemon soda, and two to three,

how you say that? Marasino cherries. Maraschino cherries. Yes. A little bit of ice. Sounds awesome. I'll give a shot. Yeah, I'm going to let you have it.

I'm feeling our boat trip a little bit today. Amy's filling our boat trip. Visit highrockvodka.com to find a bottle near you. There's a locator on the website to be able to tell you, hey, okay, there's a store over here that's got a couple bottles so you can know where to go to get them. And you might also be able to get shipped direct, depending on the state.

So it must be 21 or over. So last weekend, Dale went to Anderson and raced and had a good time. I went to Texas. My grandfather turned 90, and so I went to take the girls to hang out with him. And that was fun. It was, it's always cool to get the grandparents and the great grandparents around the kids. And he was a little overwhelmed, I think, with all of the noise and action. They just moved, and so they're in their new house.

And, you know, they like it quiet. They're used to it being quiet and having. I bet he was ready for everybody to go home. Eight to ten young kids running around, and it was a lot. but it was cool. It was really cool. Adeline, my niece, and he actually shared a birthday. She turned nine.

And so on Sunday, too, we, after having a granddaddy's party, we went and stayed at Katie's house. So we had a couple nights there. And the girls just, like, so my sister has two kids that are kind of split in age. So Nicole's four, Eva's five, and then Ila and Adela and Adelan are a year apart. So they play together like nonstop. And sometimes they switch. the Adeline and Nicole pair off when they get tired of each other, you know what I mean? It's always like a battle of the bosses.

And so it was a lot of fun just watching them play, and they always get sad when they have to leave. But they were outside. At one point, Katie and I had taken a walk, and the littles were on. Do you know what those little scooters are that Kobe had out in the grass at the leghouse? Do you remember? Like you used the handles on the size to make it go? So Evo's scooting around on that thing. It's pretty fast. And Nicole's on the back of it.

and doesn't have any shoes on. She's in her swimsuit with no shoes. And apparently she decided she wanted off, but she didn't say anything. So she just bailed and screwed her foot up so bad. Like she still has chunks of flesh out of her foot. Pretty gruesome. Yeah, it was bad.

So we kind of had to deal with that for the rest of the weekend. They couldn't get in the pool or anything because she screwed her foot up. And we're constantly telling those kids when they go outside to put their shoes on, even here. She's learning by experience. By that Earnhardt, hard head of hers, yes. She's screwed her foot off a couple times doing that outside, even just at our house. But their house is like in the middle of the hill country of Texas. It is treacherous outside.

It's hilly, super hilly. Rocky. There's cactus everywhere. Not like just nice manicured grass. It's just like. It's the woods. Walked out into the Texas wilderness and just started building houses. Yes.

So it's just dangerous. but she definitely learned her lesson, I guess. Yeah, all good. She's fine now. She came home and she was, this is, I felt so terrible. And this will happen to you if you're a parent, if it hasn't happened already.

But Nicole is my tough one. You know, I think Amy will agree. I was our, our sensitive, you know, got to go easy, got to be easy. Nicole's like, you know, just ripped a Band-Aid off. and so Nicole is home. I'm home. Nicole's home.

They've been on this trip. They come back and Nicole's had these band-aids on her foot for a couple days. And she's playing in the front of the house, the foyer, comes over and she goes, Dad, I need a new band-aid. So she shows me, and her band-aid, it wrapped from top around to the bottom, the ball of her foot. It had come loose on the bottom. And she's like, I need new band-aid. And so I get to see this scratch.

Her gnarly wound. And it's like you just sliced the dang corner, like the little... The patch just came right there right? The knob right over big toe. Yeah. Right, right where the ball of her big toe is. Right on the side of her foot. It just like scratched it right off.

Which is a typical kid, like a knee, just like a knee, right? And it was, I was like, honey, you need to let that dry out. It's not to put a band-aid on there. But before she comes over and says, I need new Band-Aid, and it's still connected at the top. Band-Aid is. So I just rip it off, and it took some skin with it. Oh, my God.

Now she's got a boo-boo on top of her foot bleeding. Yeah, now we've got another wound. I got a new boo-boo. And I was like, what? No, that's not. And I rubbed it. And she's like, oh, man. And I was like, oh, man.

He never ever believes in what people are telling him ever. He's got to prove it to himself. So, like, just like Nicole's got to do it herself. she gets it honest for me. I was like, did I just do that? Did I just make that happen? And she's like, yes, you pulled the

Band-Aid off. She's four, right? And she's like, yeah, you pulled the band-aid off and did that. And I'm like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I just didn't think the Band-Aid would pull skin, right?

It's definitely not supposed to do that. And so I go get a new Band-Aid and she's like, I want to do it, I want to do it. And I can do it, I can do it. And I'm thinking she's going to put the Band-Aid on the big boo-boo. She puts it on the little new boo-bo.

I'm like, oh, man, I feel really s'n. But I was like, let's let the Texas boo-boo air out. Let's let that thing scab up, you know, and do what it's supposed to do. And she's like, all right, so she didn't want to put a band-aid on it. And it got scabbed up to where now she doesn't mind getting the bath, you know, putting it in water and stuff. Because when they're, before they scab up, you know, you put in water, they're hurt. sting and all that so um you know it was uh and every time she gets in the bathtub with it and it gets you know how scabs get when you get on wet then she starts poking at it and like don't

don't make it worse she's tough she'll she'll walk up to me we'll be sitting on the couch and watching tv or something and she'll look at me and she'll look at my face and then she starts she's looking for something yeah she's like start scratching on something like i got a little scratch or something she'll be like what is that start to pick at it. I'm like, hey. She does that to me too. And you'll be watching TV.

Everybody's focused on the TV and she'll grab your, she'll start holding your hand. And then next thing you know, she's like picking on a scab. I got like, you know, working on cars and stuff. You scratch your hands up. You'll be sitting there. And she all of a sudden she starts picking on a scab. And you're like, ow, what the hell? She just comes in like real sweet though to cuddle with you.

Like, hey. And then she's got a plan all along. Yeah. She's just coming in for blood. she's coming for. She's like, she loves to look at your boo-boos on your hands. She wants to watch your patch up boo-boos too. So if Ila gets one, she's like got her face right in the middle. Oh, yeah. She did that when we took, I took her to the dentist too. When Ila's getting her teeth clean, she had her face right in the middle of the action. She wanted to see what was going on.

So we had a boat trip yesterday. We have it. we've got the she said no it's a for those that don't know she said no is a fiberglass hole houseboat 2002 gibson and it is in really good shape and so pretty cool interior top deck all that and i was looking at this thing on the internet we were sitting on it yesterday on the lake and i said man i cannot believe we're sitting on this boat after staring at it on the internet for like six months she goes more like a year it was it was at least a year we had discussed it

i talked you out of it and then all of a sudden it's in the driveway yeah lo and behold it found you again yeah it was weird how that happened so um i was just i just i'm a i'm one of those kind of people that like to just look on a car trader and just just i'm not looking for anything i'm just kind of curious is what's out there and boat trader rv for wheel whatever ATV. I'm trying to see what everybody's got and selling and all that stuff and what things are worth. I do that with houses Zillow, all that stuff. So I saw this, I missed my old houseboat, but I didn't love it.

I didn't love the interior of it, certain things about it, but I did miss having it. And we had a pontoon, had a lot of fun with that. But, you know, I wanted something to spend a night out on the boat, on the lake and stuff. So I thought one day maybe I might get a boat that we could sleep in. So I started looking at all kinds of boats and different things, and they're very expensive. But I saw this Gibson and looked at the other Gibson's and saw the price and thought it was good. I showed Amy, and I'm looking at this thing and looking at it every couple of days I look at it. And I'm like, oh, man, that thing does look good.

I wonder what it smells like. You know, I wonder what is it, you know, is it smell okay? Is it smell bad? So it didn't smell good That's just say that Anyways, I'm good The boat's out of my life I actually went back on the internet

It's gone Must have sold Somebody must have gone Somebody must have bought it right All right That's probably better You know Somebody else buy it

I'm glad It's disappeared I didn't need that I didn't need to do that That's my You know It's okay And months go by

And my Neese Carson says Hey boat you're looking at that. I talked about it on our podcast. She says the guy that has that boat still has it for sale. I was like, man, you can't be talking about the same boat. I mean, of all the boats out there. How do you know, how did you, how did this guy get back to you? And I was like, send me a picture of this damn boat you're talking about.

And I'm expecting to get a photo and not be the boat and go, hey, it's not the boat. This guy don't know what he's talking about. Sure enough, sends a picture and it's the picture. Wow. the boat. I'm like, all right, this is the universe. This is, this is fate. It's a sign. It's a sign. It's calling me. The boat needs to be in my life. And so the boat needs me. The boat needs me. The boat needs me to fix it. So I made a long list on, I made a long list of that I needed to know about this boat. Does it stink? Does this work? Does this work? Does this work? I don't want to buy a boat. I got to fix a couple certain things that we're going to be really tough to fix. Yeah, major things.

Long lists. So I send Sunny and a boat guy, a boat expert, Marina guy, out to Gatlinburg to look at it. Sonny gets on it, sends me videos. He's on it, riding on it. Tails me everything's fine. So we bought the boat. And it took a while to get it over here.

It went to a ship, it went to a marina and sat in the yard, jacked up on stilts, and we worked on it and cleaned it and fixed a lot of things. and put all new carpet in it. Got it ready. We furnished it. And we called it. She said no because Amy,

because it's just a joke. Yeah, yeah. And, yeah, until recently, I think it finally clicked for Amy, I think, in the last month or so. Yeah. I mean, I've been going to enjoy the boat. It was fun.

It was fun going out yesterday. We decided we were just going to take Wednesday, since there was nothing on the calendar, and go hang out, with no kids. They had school. It was great. And it was great. We sat there. It took me, excuse me, it took me a solid four hours. So, like, truly relax. I asked Dale, like, what time is it?

Because I actually just stopped thinking about all the things I have to do. And it took about four hours. It took him about an hour and a half. But we get on the boat. And we get out of the slip, no problem. We cruise. Dale throws the anchors out. And then all of a sudden, the boat dies. Oh, no.

The generator goes out. I mean, he had cracked. one beer. And we had just sat down upstairs. Then he's like, there's no motor. There's nothing's going. The radio stopped. Everything stopped. And he's like, oh, crap. So he goes downstairs, and I stay away just to not get in the business. And he's got the deck flap open, and he's looking around where the engines are and everything, the batteries. And he's tinkering and mess in, and I feel like he's going to figure out at some point because he just is good at that. You know what I mean? I was not worried whatsoever.

I was getting a little hot up there. I'm like, oh, crap, I hope he gets it moving soon. All of a sudden I hear his pitch. Like, he's got Sunny on the phone and he's FaceTiming, just trying to work through it together. And I hear his voice get really high pitch. And I didn't hear what he said, but I knew it wasn't probably something nice. And so I, like, slowly slink down the stairs and, like, get a little closer. And, like, is there anything I can do to help you?

And he's like, not unless you can fix a generator. I'm like, I'll just get my broomstick and go get my wine and I'll be right back and I went back upstairs and just sipped my wine. It was, you know, texted with Sonny and Katie. It was like, oh gosh, this is bad. This is so bad. He's laying on his belly with his hand in there just pushing buttons and pouring on things. Oh, man, I'm sweating up a fissorm. Oh, he's red in the face. Because you got to get down in the engine compartment. We just ran in things to get out in the water. Yeah. And it's got a little water and sludge in the bottom. part of the container it's just part of it so I'm like oh no he's going to have to get down in that the the generator has an auto the generator has the start switches on in a it has a little starter box mounted at the top of generator and on that starter box is a couple of amps and you can start the generator there or you can actually go up to the front of boat and the exact same switches and system is up there as well and one of those amps had kind of

came, one of those amps had kind of jarred itself loose. And so when I was trying, I don't know why the generator quit running, but maybe because the amp, if the amp comes out of that starter box, it just shuts the generator down. But I finally figured it out. And that little thing wouldn't stay screwed in there. It's spring loaded. And so I got a couple, I got a pair of pliers and finagled it around.

I got it to where it would lock in and stay and cranked it up. And all was well. but it took me a while to figure out exactly why the generator had zero power. Like it had no, like it didn't have a battery hooked up to the starter. It wouldn't turn over at all. It wouldn't mess. It wouldn't mess. So I got really hot and mad about it.

And I was sitting down there with Sunny and I was like, it was like, nothing ever works. Nothing ever works. And then I got upstairs after we got everything running and I sat down. And she goes, yeah, I heard you getting upset. I said, yeah, I was like, you know what? I asked for this. I bought a 20-year-old.

I bought a 25-year-old boat. I wanted it. I begged for it. You know, I got it. And here it is, and this is what I get. You know, it's going to have problems. Never going to be perfect. It's going to have, there's going to be things that it doesn't do right.

I couldn't believe you just got so mad. So I haven't seen him that mad in a really long time. It didn't happen fast. Well, we had just. We had just sat down to relax. I try not to do this, but I had thought about that going, I had thought about going out on that boat for the last 24 hours. And you built it up in your mind.

Yeah. And I'm like, man, this will be so much fun for the kids are going to be at home, but me and Amy by ourselves out on the lake. We're going to have six hours to just sit. And, man, we get out there. And I'm like, well, I guess we got to go back to the dock. I mean, I can't run the generator, can't run air conditioner, can't run nothing. this thing will be that comfortable, you know, but...

How would we have gotten back to the dock? Oh, the motors run fine. Oh. The boat would run. We could have just... I thought we're going to have to swim home. Well, we could have, you know, we could have motored around on the lake, but, you know, it would have been, we would have, we would have been able to be fine out there without the generator.

But like, yeah, like nothing would, you wouldn't have power to nothing. You wouldn't be able to, you know. The refrigerator, right? It would all the in the refrigerator, all the food and all things would be so all the beer would be cold in the refrigerator. We had some ice on us, but we'd have figured it out. Yeah, it would have been fine. I wasn't nervous.

I wasn't worried because he's always good at fixing things. I just knew he was going to figure it out. He came back upstairs. I can't believe you got so mad about that. He's like, I just don't want to have to work with work on something. Every time we go somewhere, everything's always, there's always something to fix. I was like, I know, but you're good. You can fix it.

You fixed it. I can't believe you got so mad. He's like, you're just telling me that to make me feel better. I'm like, no, I'm not blowing smoke up your ass. But is it working? Because calm down. Yeah. The heat, too, if it's hot like that, and you're working and nothing's working.

There was no breeze on that boat yesterday. It pissed me off. Yeah, there wasn't any air moving on the lake. Nah, we had a great time, though, man. By time we got, I was out there. We had it fixed in 30 minutes, and then we got to sit the rest of the day. But it was kind of funny how it did take us. it did take us, so it took me about hour and a half,

took Amy about four hours to like truly get chill. Like I can't sit still. I got to get up, standing around, look around, play with everything. Yeah. See how stuff works and see what doesn't work. I'm making a little list. All right, I got to fix the lights on the dash. Yeah.

The gauge lights don't work. He's like, I'm looking for tube lights for the kitchen. Yeah. There's a little tube light on the floor. We don't even know how to do nothing anymore. We just can't do it. Yeah. There's a little tube light that's on the floor.

that when turned on would like the floor in the kitchenette at night. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Right? It's just a little rope light. Yeah. And it doesn't work.

It's all old as hell. So I'm like, hmm, I need to Google and figure out what that is and buy that and, you know, see if I can fix it. I'm ready to fix it. But, yeah, it's a, I like, that's a project. It's a fun part about the boat is it's always a project and there's always something to work. But sometimes, like when a generator won't run, like I'm not a generator guy you are now

so I was like you know what are the chances of me really actually getting this fixed and getting it to work I didn't really have a lot of faith in it but we figured out I want to ask you something random did you know that Mike

knows how to cook Hobachi you know he used to be Hobachi chef Mike Davis Mike Davis used to like yeah he knows you don't know that onion volcano and the heartbeat with the rice he does the whole thing really yes

Mike can toss That's the end of the shrimp into the hat and all that? Yeah. What? Yeah. Wow. His pocket? Do you know that, James?

No. We had no idea back here. Yeah. He's full of tricks, Mike Davis. His was his job in college? Yeah, he did that in college. It's like a side job to make some cash. Wow.

He's told us all about it. Ding-da-ding-ding-ding-ding. Just the whole thing. We should get him some little metal spatula. We should walk in here one day with some spatulas and just start, d-ding-ding-ding-d-ding-ding-ding on stuff. He'll probably hear from upstairs and come running down. down. Well, we took the kids to do Hobachi for Adeline's birthday on Sunday. We're still in Texas,

and I'm getting ready to, we're going to go eat lunch, and then we're going to get on the plan and come home. So it's like six little girls and then four parents. And Nicole's sitting around on the end next to Eva. And she likes Japanese food. She loves Fred Rice and all that mess. So I'm not worried about what she's going to be eating. But her foot was still kind of an issue. So I'm like, I'm carrying her back and forward to the bathroom and carrying her to the car. Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, because she's hobbling around, bless her. And so we sit down and we wait a few minutes. They're all cold, complaining and, you know, dancing around. And she, of course, doesn't have her shoes on because her foot hurts.

So we're in this rather used restaurant. Is that the right term? Sure. Is that the polite term? Well-loved restaurant? Well-loved. Yes. And she's running around without her shoes.

So I'm grossed out already. We haven't even started eating. The lady does the whole shebang, everybody's eaten, and has a good time. And I'm getting up to take Ayla to the bathroom, and I scoot my chair back, and I see a gigantic cockroach on the floor. Holy shit, really? And it was dead. Oh, my God. It was right there under my feet.

I looked at Kobe, and I'm like, hey, Kobe. I point down, and he's like, he goes, and of course, we've all eaten already. It's just too late. You know what I mean? Like, the food's in the belly, and I'm so grossed out. We're so waiting for them to bring out ice cream for the kids, so we have to sit there for a little bit longer. and he made it disappear when I took Isle of the bathroom, but man, that's always the worst thing when you're at a restaurant and you see that. I think at the end of cooking, or maybe at the end they set this thing on fire to clean it.

To clean it, yeah. So at the end. They did that at the beginning, too. They wrote Adeline's name out in the oil. So Amy's filming Nicole from across the table, and then Nicole is by herself on the end, by herself. And she's sitting with other kids. and when they set the damn table on fire, like Nicole's sitting there and she goes,

she didn't know what was about to happen. She's like a 70-year-old lady, like blue hair. She's got a holding her cheeks and she's like, oh, look at the fire. And I'm like, what in the hell? It's like somebody else. And I'll, like, I'll ask her. I'm like, are you, are you somebody else? I feel like she's been here before.

Are you from, have you been here before? Yeah. The way she just dances to, like, specific genres of music. Yeah, really? The other day... Like she's heard it before, you know what I mean? The other day she said something, and I'm like, I was like, how do you know what that is? She goes, I just do.

And I was like, where did you see it at school? Or did somebody tell you about it? She goes, no, I just know. Yeah. And I'm like, no, no, you've seen it somewhere. Like, you see it on TV, cartoon. She said something. She's like, no.

Yeah. This happened again, just me and her. And I was like, are you somebody else? Did you... were you here before? She's like, no. She's like, no? I'm like, that's wild.

I've always contemplated that she might be Dale's mom. Yeah. And we named her after Brenda. Her middle name is Lorraine as well. I'm like, you've got Mimi vibes. Like she's got that lazy fair. I'm here for one thing kind of attitude. And she wants to do everything herself.

And she's so funny. And she just gives me Mimi vibes. And so. I am. There's a video of this. kid that I can't remember the name or anything but there's a video of this kid and he they were everyone and parents everyone is convinced that this kid is from the past right he was someone else reincarnated and and the interesting thing about it is is like even if it's true right

let's just assume hypothetically that this is true and this kid was this other person in the past life the kid even though he knows he knows things right he knows he knows all of these things from the past that this other person experienced he doesn't think that he's reincarnated right and so because i was like because Nicole's telling me all these things and i'm like have you been here before or were you another person in another life and she's like no like that's a dumb question thing to ask. That's so stupid. Of course not.

You know? I'm four. What are you talking about? I know, right? It's like, of course I haven't been here before. And I'm like, hmm, I don't know. I don't know either. Yeah.

They say when kids are really little too, if you ask them the right questions when they start to regurgitate things that they shouldn't know or they talk about a dream they had or something that they used to do and they've never done those things that you should like you can kind of unlock some of that. I've seen so many video you can really go down a rabbit hole looking in videos like that on the internet. of kids that like recall historical things or things that happened. And you can prove, you can fact check it and prove it. There's so many of those stories. It's fascinating. But yeah, I feel like Nicole's, I think she's got something going on that we don't know about. Yeah, I tested.

Like just put on some old music that maybe the only thing she's never heard before. And just watch her dance. She knows it or she'll start singing it. Yeah. And it's really weird. That's crazy. What were we talking about the other day where we ended up with how we sleep? we were talking about cuddling or something the girls are sitting there and we were laughing about something

and um you said something like cuddle cuddle with me when we're cuddle with me in my when we're sleeping in the bed were you trying to cuddle with me in the kitchen i think so and i was busy like i don't know but you were like cuddle with me cuddle with me in the bed and i'm like you don't like you don't like nothing touching you when you're sleeping you don't want to like like amy Amy's sleep, she's like, don't touch. I'm sleeping. Like if I put a leg or a foot over there, she's like, moves it away. Well, your feet are cold.

Yeah. And I think that's rude. And we were like, and we were like, man, you remember when we first, when we first were living together, we used to sleep holding hands. We used to sleep. We did. Yeah. We would fall asleep holding hands together. What?

Really? That's so weird. Don't get away. I'm going to hold your hand. That's so weird. It's like funny when you go through these phases because then we'd spoon and he was always on the, you know, behind. And then when he fell asleep because he falls asleep like super fast, I can't sleep like that. I'd roll him over.

I'd do the old roll over thing. And so like when we actually slept, we weren't really touching unless he wanted to put his cold feet on me in the middle of the night, which is so rude. But now it's like, don't you wake me, don't you touch me. Yeah. You stay over there. And also don't steal all the covers because, and he sleeps with a blanket, separate. than me now because that was an issue too for a long time we we would sleep holding hands and you would and then like amy twitches i'm probably sure i'm sure i do too yeah like we all twitch right

and you'll be sleeping there holding hands or or even if you're just like spooning or or whatever and man when the other person starts to twitch and you're like i'm not asleep yet yeah they're twitching like i'm not going to be able to go to sleep yeah now the twitching is going to keep me up Because Amy's hands, like when you're holding her hand and she goes to sleep, she starts switching her fingers and stuff. And you're like, well, shit, this is going to keep me up. You definitely do that. And you're like trying to slide out of the hand. Without waking.

Get out of there without waking them up. Yeah. I came upstairs last night. You were out. She's got this show she's back into. I'm watching the Outlander. The new season of The Outlanders out. Yeah.

So she's finished. I guess you didn't finish one or two of the original. And now they've got a new season. So you're getting your ass called up, getting ready, and getting prepped. I think I'm in the new season now. For your new season. Yeah. And this is, it's awesome.

Yeah, she's into it. Each episode is like an hour long, so it's a commitment. I come up there. It's on our volume show just going. And Amy's just, I literally woke up going, did I watch the whole thing? Did Dale turn off the TV? Yeah, I knew you were going to do that. You're going to, don't you hate that?

You get up and you're like the next day when you try to. Well, they runs too for a while. I'm like, God dang, I don't know where it was. Where it was. Yeah, you got to plug back in. You're like, I got to investigate like where do I remember. Yeah. Do I remember this?

Does I see this? And so, yeah, I had to turn it off and slide into bed without waking you up. I don't think anything was going to wake me up if the outliner didn't even keep me up. Not after your day on the boat. No. You might want to watch all of it over again. I probably should. You might have it up, but you missed the whole thing.

I don't think you remember much from 7 o'clock on. No. I'm sure I don't. Listen, I've told you before. I can't hang out with you. Dude, no, you were a pro. You were doing your thing. We were kind of not even on the same page up there on the boat.

It was hot and that wine was going down too fast. Yeah, yeah. Rosie on the boat. Amy was laps ahead of me. Yeah, so let's do the Whisper Challenge. What is this? This is the headphone game. Oh, this is fun.

Yeah. Okay. Bring that back. Abigail has the headphones. I'll go, I'll put them on first. You're going first? Perfect. All right.

Whisper challenge. Damn. Ready? What is he listening to? I don't know. Abigail's getting the control of it. Abby's done it? Yeah.

What's he listening to? Shake it off. Taylor Swift. All right. Okay. The sun shines and people forget. Say again. The sun shines and people forget.

What? The sun shines and people forget. Slow down. The sun shines and people forget. This is so hard to do over and over again. No, you're not, you're doing it. You can't. Push.

This, this thick. This thick booty. Bimble. The sun shines and people forget. You're doing a tea. The sun? The sun. Such.

Shines. Sucks. And people forget. Pimple. Do you give up? Do you give up? Can I learn? The sun shines and people forget.

What? The sun shines and people forget. What in the f***. I don't know, man. It's so random. It's the first lines. of evidence front. That's why I thought he would get it.

He should know that. I know. I'm a little get a beer. Happy alligator. No. I'm old get a beer. What? I'm going to get a beer.

I'm trying to say it with his accent. I'm only going to get bigger. I'm old get a beer. I'm holding on to my beer. Close. I'm old. I'm old. I'm old.

I'm a little get a beer. I'm a little drink my beer. Close enough. Yeah. That's good. I did. Yeah. I will get a beer.

Oh. That's close. That's it. That's it. That's it. Switch. I did pretty good. It's pretty good.

The second one was the first lines of Eminence Front. Your favorite song. Yeah. I mean. We're here for the beats. It's such a random. It's very random. I figured you might know the first couple.

I know the lyrics to Eminence Front. That's crazy. All right, Amy. Hang on. Let me see if I can get this. You'll get. caught up in the jam. That's a good song. So it's like hard to not, you're like, I like this

song. I don't want to just listen to it. Okay, ready? Can you hear me? Fox Trot, Uniform, Kilo. What? Fox Trot. Fox Trot. Unicorn. Uniform. Uniform. Kilo.

Kilo. Oh, Fox Trot. Unicorn. Unicorn. Charlie. Charlie Kilo. Yeah. F-U-C-K. Can you hear me? No. Okay. Do you want to go day drinking? Do you know what I said?

You're crazy? Do you want to go day drinking? Do you want to go day drinking? Wow. Crazy. No. Is that it? Yeah, that's all I had.

Unless you guys have other ones. That was all I came up with. Yeah. Amy did pretty good. She did good, yeah. Hey guys, Dale and I are in our Bless Your Heart studio at Dirty One Media. What am I saying? We're in the Dirty One Media Studios for another round

to bless your heart. And we can't wait for your questions. What's you got? Our first question is from David. He saw your Instagram story of how your fantasy football draft went. So how did that go?

And how do you think about your team this year? So we don't auto draft. That is a rule. But we've been doing fantasy football. It's all girls. It's a sugar and spice league for seven years now. And so it's a lot of fun. We get really competitive.

and we we everybody puts $40 in so winter takes all it's just for fun but um i was drafting on my phone as i was in habachi um on sunday so it was kind of chaotic you know that a hibbachi restaurant with her family in texas yes and um paying attention to my phone she texts me she's like all right i got these guys in my queue i'm like i have not done any studying i have no idea i can be of no help i was i told her i said just look at the average drafting position and use that as sort of a uh uh starting point, but she drafts her own team by herself and texts me later. She goes, I got an name. Yeah, so they always give you a grade at the end. And I was at the top of the board. Wow, that's good. I did it really well. I screenshotted your team. You have some good, good guys here.

Brock Bowers, good. Yeah, so I drafted, I was in the second position of my draft too, which is good and bad because I get a good guy, like right off the bat, but then I have to wait forever to draft my second player. You, it's tough to like, you land a good player out of the gate, but then you, you know, you usually going to have one position where you tank. Yeah. Yeah. Just that because of the situation. But she got a great tight in.

She got a great situation going on there. Yeah. That's pretty good. We kind of like follow a rule about like you're not going to take your quarterback first, obviously. But like girls just, they're not like guys. They're going to do what they want. Yeah. So sometimes you'll have that.

All of a sudden like this awesome QV went first. You're like, wait, what are we doing here? Yeah. This is not part of the program. Yeah. And it throws everybody off whack. Yeah, it does. Have you ever won?

I think I won once, only once. I was in the final game last year, and Dale's cousin, Christy and I, or she's in the league with me, and she's very competitive, and she had a really good quarterback, and so we did like one of those not-so on-board trades

right before the end of the game. Dakota says... Right before the game started. Dakota says you've been watching Outlander, has she seen the new prequel series, Blood of My Blood. No, I haven't. Prequel.

What does that even mean? Is that like... It's like the story. story before that outlander happens. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting.

This is why I'm looking at the chat. We've got the chat here and so now Dale's just going to. I'll watch the chat. And if anything comes up, you guys, go ahead. Pauline wanted to know as well. She was on Facebook. She wanted to know about football if you had a favorite team, Amy.

A favorite team? Favorite team? Yeah. I mean, the commanders. Yeah. Yeah. Did you have a favorite before? Not really.

I didn't really care. My dad didn't really put football on the TV and so he didn't like The whole family wasn't a fianna of Dallas Cowboys or whoever. Some of my family members were, but my dad wasn't. So it wasn't a big deal in our house. So team commanders. Oh, I have to be now. The next one is from Josie.

She wants to know, since you and Dale are so into music, do you ever show up at a party or gathering and secretly judge the playlist? I mean, yeah, usually. I feel like no, even if you're not into music. I judge music everywhere I go. It sets the tone no matter who you are, right? I came into the studio today and was judging. whatever the hell

that way. What were you playing? What were we playing? Not really. What were you playing this morning? Devo? Oh, Devo, we were playing. Oh, Devo?

Yeah, Devo. What's that? It's, yeah, something. I swear. Devo, I mean, Devo, I know like the, you know, the MTV Devo, but y'all were playing like some B-Sides here. I'm like, what the hell?

I don't even know who that is. I bet those songs ain't been played by anyone in a, long time. Judging James' music now. I judge like... Oh, was it James? I think it was James.

James is high. I'm blaming James. We have a sono system. Why were you playing it on some random Bluetooth speakers just out of convenience? I'll talk to you about that after this. Okay. Take this off line.

James. Is the sonas broken? Oh, dang it. Oh my gosh. Always something. I always judge if you go in like Target or Walmart, you can tell if there's like a what generation's playing. Yeah, yeah.

So I'm at the generation though where like, I'm kind of into what they're playing at the grocery store. Yeah. I find myself dancing because it's usually 80s or something in the 90s. You know, like it's upbeat. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my girlfriends and I kind of joke about that.

Like, you know you're of age when you want to break out and dance in the grocery store because you're into whatever is playing because it's not elevator music. It's not just like, you know, the old elevator music. Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Which is like the worst to play in a store. It's like getting out of the store.

The next question is from Sarah. I don't know if you guys saw a Cracker Barrel changed its logo after 48 years. She wants to know, has there ever been like a logo like that that's made you mad? Because it's a huge outroar on social media about this. I did see the post yesterday about the logo change, and I don't understand why they did that. I mean, it's so modern-looking. It's iconic. What logo?

Cracker Barrel? The Cracker Barrel? They changed their logo. Yeah, they took the barrel out, took the dude out that was on the barrel. So it's just like a yellow, very basic. I haven't been to a cracker barrel in a while. No. No, we haven't been to one in a while.

But yeah, I don't understand why companies do that. Yeah. There's a couple examples. Like old soda cans used to be so cool and now they're just so plain. Yeah. Vintage. So a lot of people are talking about that. Yeah.

I think the old soda cans that were more simple are more appealing. Really? Because they get it like, yeah, they get, when they redo them, they put like bubbles on the cans and different things. And it's just, I don't know, it just takes the vibe away. Yeah. I know when you changed like a track logo, Talladega changed their track logo, which I think it's pretty good now. But people will just get so mad. Yeah.

when you do stuff like that, or teams will change your logo. I think people will just worry that the product's going to change or the things are going to change. I would call out, we got a really hell of a creative team here, but they wanted to change the Junior Motorsports logo for the flaming wheel.

Junior Motorsports has always had. They were like, man, we need to be modern. I'm like, man, there's equity in the identifier, right? And like when you see, you know, Jumpman or, you know, when you see certain logos, you know immediately what that is, right? And you build all that equity up in what I said, so you can't change the flaming wheel.

You can try to spice it up. And they did some things to clean it up a little bit and get it a little better looking. But I was like, no, we can't change our logo. What? Flaming wheels badass. Nobody else has a flaming wheel. That's what are going to look like everybody else?

Once somebody said there would be more of an outrage of Waffle House changed their logo, and I agree with that. Say again. If Waffle House changed their logo, there would be more of an outrage. A Lisa said that in the chat. Huge outrage. Next question's from Beth.

Who is your celebrity or TV crush growing up? Zach Morris? Like saved by the bell? Yeah. Really? Really? I mean, you thought it was cute. I don't remember crushing hard on anybody to like in high school.

And like Ben Affleck was pretty cute. Like when he and Matt Damon did their movies together, I thought that was cool. I didn't really, I don't know. So celebrity thing's never really been a big deal to me. Yeah. Which is, I guess, why I didn't get shy around you. Dale had crushes. That's probably more interesting to talk about because Dale's crushes.

I don't know. He was a crush on Diane Lane. I did. Not really, like, I did, I guess. I was like, um, like, this is 2000, right? Yeah. Different times. But Tyber Banks or Pam Anderson.

Mm-hmm. you know, just who was it, right? Yeah, Pam Anderson's like Sydney Sweeney today. Everyone loves Sydney Sweeney. She's everyone's celebrity crush. Mine growing up was actually

who's the girl, Kelly Kapowski, instead by the bell. She was popular too. Yeah. So yeah, that's a big one. Next question from Barbara. Her and her husband

are building a new house and she wants to know if you guys have any suggestions on how to keep the stress down between the two while building this house. Well, it sounds like a fun project. Dale and I work really well together and things like that.

It's hard to keep the stress down when you're building a house. It doesn't matter what your time frame is or your budget. It's just a stressful process, right? Yeah. I would say decide on what you want to collaborate on. And then if you don't want an opinion on something, don't ask. Because if you've already picked out the tile that you like and it's in your budget or wallpaper or whatever, if you have got your heart set on it and you ask an opinion and someone,

doesn't like it, especially your husband, then you're starting over, then you're delayed, then you're frustrated. So, I mean, collaborate on things that are important. And then if he's going to let you just kind of do the pretty stuff and not, you just don't worry about asking him. Yeah. It is what I would. Dale's like going to be like, what? If I ask Dale and I am excited about it and he's like, that's terrible. No. I am crushed and it is like, I don't ever slowed my mental, like my path or my, my vibe. That don't happen though. It does.

Sometimes. I've never, you have never shown me anything. A dress, a piece of tile, wallpaper, and I've said, that's terrible. Yeah, you have. Or you made a comment about what you think it looks like and I'm like now I can't unsee that. Well, that's true.

Like I'll say, oh, instead of saying that's terrible, I'll go, that reminds me of this or that. Yeah. And then that might be not what she likes to here. Yeah, I mean, I don't care. I don't have a preference. I care.

I want her to be happy. I want the wallpaper to be cool. But I'm not a fucking wallpaper guy. And so I'm not going to go, oh, yeah, let me show you. I got some ideas. So we put wallpaper up. This is a perfect example in this bathroom at the beach house. Yes, but I had bought the wallpaper and was just waiting on the wallpaper installer to put it up.

So it sat in the cabinet for a while. and he was finally available, so I get it out, and I got it sitting on the back of the toilet, and Dale sees it, and he's like, is that the wallpaper you're going to put up in this bathroom? I'm like, yeah, he goes, ooh, I don't know, you're going to regret that later. I was like, it's too late.

It's happening. And so it went up, and it's awesome. It's this, it is awesome. It is awesome. It's loud and ridiculous on purpose. It looks like the wallpaper. If you, remember the love boat? Yeah.

Right. Back in the day, it's like this is late 70s. It's pink and it's got palm trees and bananas and stuff. It's on the halls of the love boat. Okay. But it's awesome. Galdi is a little strong, but it's out there. Yeah.

And it's very, very Palm Beach, you know, from the 80s, early 80s. Yeah. It's cool shit. Yeah. But I'm like, as much as I love it and I could live the rest of my life with it sitting there, I think Amy's going to put it up and go badass. And then five years from now or maybe 10, she'll go, yeah, that's a little bit. too strong right now, I'm going to pull it down.

You know, but she may, and that's totally fine too. But his initial comment was just what I was saying. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. I just didn't see that coming because I like that. I like the in your face, you know, kind of not really aggressive, but just like I like things that kind of jump off the wall and loud. Yeah. And so it was right at my alley.

But I don't know. Building houses is stressful. I wish you look. Well, every decision is so important in the moment. Yeah, and it drives the next thing. And it drives the whole design. So it's hard. You've got to get that stuff kind of.

I wish I was more involved in the house we live in now. I didn't want to be. I was like, yeah, whatever, y'all do it. Yep. I'm fine. I don't care how things look or whatever. They all, they would bring the whole room into me on a board and go, here's your carpet, here's your wall. Here's your ceiling.

Here's your this. Here's your that. I'm like, fine. You know, just as long as I can race all night on my simmer. That's really all he said is like either it's orange or I don't care, just whatever. There are things like in our house now, like wallpapers or little details that, details that didn't turn out like they were supposed to or like papers like the bathroom right next to the kitchen. I gave him options and he picked my least favorite option.

So that was where I regret this choice. Like don't give him all the options. Just pick it. Just do whatever you want. No, it's boring and brown. It's like tan brown. I'm tired of looking at it. Just do whatever.

Yeah, like my advice for the ladies out there is just to pick your choice. Go for it. Go for it. Tell him that's what's happening. It's good. It's good. That's good advice, I think. No, it's good advice, I think.

There was one in the chat from Julie earlier. She wanted to know if you guys had like a favorite moment with the kids and the animals you have. And the animals? Yes. I was just like taking the kids to the fence and letting them feed them carrots. They like to stand on the fence line and the donkeys come right up to you. The donkeys, too, have a song that the previous owner sang. So Ila will sing, You Are My Sunshine, to them.

And it's so cute. Nicole makes me a little nervous because she just doesn't hold the carrot perfect. And it makes me feel like she's going to get her finger bit off. So I don't take her out there as near as often as Ila, but Ila's good at it. Yeah, that's good. It may still nervous, too. He's like, she's too comfortable. She's going to get in there and get herself in trouble.

Yeah. For sure. Yeah. Have they fed the swans? The swans? Yeah. Have we pet them? Have you fed, had they fed them?

Oh yeah. They feed the swans. Yeah. They're kind of scared of us. One of them hisses at me, but they really like Dale. Yeah. And he's fed them out of his hand a couple times. Okay.

So they're Dale swans. Very nice. Very nice. It's kind of an ironic thing that the horses like us more in the, that Dale's into the swans. We're in a bit of a pickle with swans right now. Oh, no. I think we can, I'll share so you don't have to worry. Time to talk about the swans and not tell you all the truth.

Oh, no. Yeah. So the swan, we have some coyotes and foxes roaming around, and we try to control the population if you catch my drift. But the swans are in danger. so I don't really know how to fix this the pond is down kind of in the pond property where nobody is close

the pond's on a little six acre spot I could fence it and I'd need about a six foot fence at minimum with a strand of bobbarre on top getting it to about six and a half maybe seven foot and you know that probably should keep the coyotes and fox out they might be able to dig under in some areas,

so we'd have to kind of stay after the fence and make sure it's good. But I got the fence priced and it's stupid. So, I mean, what am I going to do? I think I'm going to have to send the swans off to another place that's better protected. So we might not be, we just might not be... We just, the pond isn't in the right spot

to have the swans, to be honest. It's just too dangerous. They're not safe. Yeah, they're not at all safe. So right now they're in Sunny's backyard. Yeah. Because he's got geese and chickens and all kinds of things. The swines are getting out of the pond.

Yeah, they're getting curious and wandering off. And going way off. And, I mean, way off. Like I'm half a mile. Wow. And catching them in other people's yard and shit. And I'm going to take them home. Oh, geez.

And I'm like, all right. You know, I got to figure out what to do here because I don't want that on my conscience. Yeah. Something happened to them. So we found a place in South Carolina that has a couple of ponds. it's safe, they would be, they would be good down there. Ila, the first thing she said, though, after she finished, her breakfast was, let's go feed the swan.

We haven't told the kids. The scenario. No, that's sad. But it sounds like this is the better move for the future of the swan. They're not going to survive where they're at. Yeah. They're not. Yeah.

Okay. I'm team move the swans for safety. Yeah. My last question, Mikey wants to know if you guys have had a recent parenting win or fail you'd like to share. parenting fail I would say Dale removing the Band-Aid off of Nicole's foot the other day was a fail Yeah

It was actually the Band-Aid's fault not Dale That's earlier in the show you'll hear that story The Band-Aid created another new boo-boo I don't know parenting wind Those are harder to see through the mist of all of the chaos Do we have parenting wins Nicole's brushing your teeth pretty well I feel like that's a win

Dale's got an app on his phone and these toothbrushes that have a wand on the end. So it sees where the toothbrush is going and it gives them a grade and then they get to get a mask and take a picture, the whole thing. They're eating it up. And it teaches her how to hold the tooth brush

and do her teeth. That's cool. She's doing really well with that. Wow. We've always had a hard time getting her to brush. Nicole would not brush her teeth by herself until four months ago. Yeah.

So it's driving me crazy because, you know, I just want them to have good teeth. Have good teeth. Yeah, of course. Good manners, good health, good, all the things. And so, but Ilya was way easier. She was just easier to coach.

Nicole didn't like the toothpaste. And so just brushing her teeth, even when she was little. And we were brushing him for her. She'd gag. Like the whole thing was just a hot mess. Or we'd have to hold her down. Yeah. It was traumatic.

I would say it's a huge win then. Yeah. That's a big one. That's a big one. I'll take that. Well, I think it's a good place to stop asking me for today. All right, guys. Thank you for your questions.

Dale and I have a fun show today. Hopefully you'll check it out. If you haven't already, please hit the subscribe button on our YouTube. channel and we will see you next week. Absolutely. Thank you all for tuning in. Check out Dirtymo Media. Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.
