What do you believe? The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Bless your heart. Oh, yeah, this is why it's going to be, girl, if we're going to hang out. Oh, you look amazing. I can stare at you all day. 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. Hey, guys, this is Dale and Amy, and we're in the Dirty Moe Media Studios for another funny episode of Bless Your Heart. For this week, we have another drink sponsored by High Rock. What are we drinking today, Ralph?

All right, the drink of the week. All right. Not the drink of the day or the hour or the minute. Sorry, excuse me, the drink of the week. No, you didn't say anything wrong. Did I? Did I say that? No, you didn't say anything wrong.

I was just reading, I was just reading right here. I thought it was drink of the day, but just drink of the week. It's called the watermelon mule. Yes. You get. I'm going to tell you how to make it. Cocktail. 1.5 ounces.

of high rock vodka, a half ounce of Sugarlands shine, sour watermelon moonshine, two ounces of watermelon juice, one ounce of ginger beer, splash of lime juice. And that's it. I'm gonna try it. We'll see. It's a very nice little manly black cup we have. Is that, what's in there? What's that?

Mint. Is that mint? It's mint. Okay. You got a little mint on top. Mint, and there's ginger beer. You can visit high rock vodka. and on this website, this is important, people.

Everywhere I go, people ask me, oh, I want some, I can't find it. Where is it? Help. Visit high rock vodka.com. And there's a way on that website to find the bottle near you. The website will literally say, there's bottles at this store down the street or in the next town.

and I think in some states that you can actually order direct from the website so give that a shot and if it's not in your area we'll try to get it there it's coming soon it's coming soon

but it's funny kind of where it's kind of like it's like cell service it's kind of in certain spots of the country and some spots are just tough to get into.

It's not like we can just take them to the store and the store can accept them. You've got to go through the government. All the proper channels. Yeah. But remember to drink responsibly and you have to be 21, all right, to do any of this. All right, you understand? 21 or over. Or over.

You can be older than 21. I thought that was a given. I won't let that happen again. You must be 21 or older. to do all of this stuff with alcohol. Okay. Okay. Okay.

You ready? I'm okay? Yeah. All right. So what are we going to do? We're going to flip it around, I think. Well, first off, can I tell you, I'm sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night. Oh, yeah.

It's paranoid. I wasn't sleeping while anyway. I forgot to take my hormone. So I got up to take those about 12.30. Went to sleep. Woke up at 3.30. Literally sat straight up because I thought I smelled something cooking. like popcorn was cooking.

And I know Dale's very, like, sensitive to anything, you know, or surrounding or involving a house fire. So instead of waking him up to make him go look, I darted down. Why am I, just don't, you, I'm not just a normally sensitive guy. No, two house fires, two fires. I had one. Do I have two? One?

Yeah. I mean, you've been with plenty of car fires. But anyway, so instead of alarming him and waking him up. I was in a house fire when I was young, that's why I'm triggered. Yes, it's very triggering. I went downstairs. And as soon as I walk out of our bedroom, I don't smell anything. But I walked downstairs and checked the kitchen anyway to make sure the gas isn't on.

Turned out it was me. I, for whatever reason, at 3 in the morning, smelled like popcorn. Well, he could have farted. Who knows? That's very possible. But I didn't hear anything. Like I said, I wasn't sleeping that well. I don't know what that is, but I was dreaming, and I sat straight up because I thought I had smelled something.

So anyway, it was false alarm, but he woke up anyway when I got back in bed because both of the dogs were alert. Everybody's like, why's mom up moving around so fast in the middle of the night? I was, and I was going to look it up in my dream book. Do you remember the dream book that I used to have? Yes.

I don't know where it is now. I used to sit on what is now Dale's side of the bed. That's where I used to sleep. 2020, I think is when I bought it. And I had babies then, so that was like easier to get in and out to Nicole on that side of the room. But we since switched back, and all my books have gone missing.

But I did Google it, And it means, stop it, Junebug. Let him up there. Hang tight. Let him up here. Can I say my experience was quite jarring? What? Last night?

Yes. So I'm into bed, sleep. I'm not. It's not dramatic. I'm in the bed of sleep. So probably, I don't know, about two months ago, we had a smell, a strong smell of something burning. I smelled it.

I don't know how you had been in the house sitting right next to it and not smelled it, but it was the Coke machine downstairs. That's right. The Coke machine downstairs was burning up inside the Cillinoids, something inside this Coke machine. It's an old Dallan Hart Coke machine. The interior guts of this thing had fried, and the air conditioner was sucking it up from the basement all into the top of the house.

And so we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. We finally understood it. And that was like, get that damn Coke machine. out of here. So it's now fixed, but it's at the farm shop. And so I was like, get it out of here. I've been in that house fire when I was a little kid, and I just ain't, I don't want anything to do with that. But so. It's hard to track down to, you know, it's a piece of machinery like that. She gets out of bed. I was laying there, and I thought I heard footsteps of somebody walking away from the bed or walking toward the bed. And sometimes it's like little McColl or I'm not sure. And so I was laying there. And I was like,

is Amy there or not there? I look over and there's a pile, a little silhouette of darkness. I'm like, is she in the bed? Maybe not in the bed. I don't know. And then all of a sudden, you know,

but two minutes later, I hear her walking back into the bedroom. I'm like, oh, she was out. And I just, she hadn't been feeling well. There's a little, you know,

just a little sinus thing going through the house. So I just was like, you okay? She goes, I smelled something burning, something cooking. I was like, what?

What? What? smell? What do you smell? What are you smell? Where are you, you? And in my mind, I'm like, you know, got to check this out. You know, I'm the guy. I've got to figure out and find and solve. And she's like, I might have dreamed it. And I'm like, oh. So at first it was a little, it was like a jump scare. I was trying to not jump scare you by handling it myself. If there was somebody in the house, if I heard her noise, I ain't going. He's going, right? But this was something I felt like I could handle. So I figured I'd try.

But anyway, so I looked it up since I couldn't find my book. And it's basically means, I said, what does it mean when you smell popcorn in your sleep? And it says it refers to detecting smells that aren't really there. But it's also a symptom of common conditions, including allergies, a cold or a respiratory infection, which, yes, I'm going through right now. But it also says it could be a symbolization of God's presence. Damn. Which I think is pretty neat. Yeah, sure.

I think. So the dream book, I'm going to find it. It is fascinating. and it's full of fun things. A dream book. Yeah, makes sense of why you see snakes or whatever in your dreams. Mm-hmm. I think that was the last thing I looked up, but yeah.

This is not a bad time to kind of transition into the ghosts. I'll have to read this. I've got a screenshot of this thing. I saw this Instagram post of a family that was filming in Gettingsburg, Pennsylvania, at the battlefields, the Civil War battlefields there. and they were filming and it's there's some movement

in the tree line and it looks like paranormal activity right yeah big foot at the Civil War battlefields in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania so there's this you know there's just some stuff

in the movement in the tree line and it looks like could be apparitions or ghosts or whatever and this person in the comments so I was reading the comments and this one got 400 likes why are there never cavemen ghosts Why are the ghosts that are always just 200 years old?

They're always period. And period times. Why can't we have some Neanderthal hurling appliances around in your living room because they're scared of electricity? I thought that was so funny. That is really fun. I love that. I screenshot of that.

It's so true. All of our ghosts are, you know, from like... The Civil War era, like, usually in period clothing of some sort. Yeah, the 1700s, 1600s is never like... Man, there's a, you know, a 2,000-year-old ghost. I used to see a ghost in my room in Beachwood. You used to see one? It always just was like by my bedroom door, and it was like a silhouette,

and it looked like it was a woman just because of the shape of it. But I could never really make it out. And there was this one night. I was playing Super Mario Brothers with one of my girlfriends. We were 10, 11. And it was after my mom and dad had gone to sleep. She was having a sleepover. And so there's nobody else awake.

And we kept hearing this chop, like something was. chopping a vegetable or something in the kitchen. And we eventually got brave enough to go in there. And the cutting board and the knife was sitting out, but there was no food around. And we got scared to death. We never stayed up playing video games ever again after that. But yeah, every once in a while I would see something in my room. I feel like a lot of people have encounters like that.

Yeah, I had a really, the one that I can remember that I was like, oh, I was sure something happened. I was at my house when I lived across the street from DEI. I had built that club downstairs, club-e or whatever that you saw on MTV Cribs. It was black and purple, dark, at a big-screen television. And sometimes I'd go down there and turn on a movie or something and sit down there on the couch. And I went down there and sat down and was just the light of the television was all that was kind of in the room. It was really dark otherwise. And I look over my right shoulder, and over my right shoulder is the dance floor of the club.

And there's mirrors and stuff. I swear that I saw a girl, probably late teens, early 20s, in a white dress, you know, like a Sunday dress, nothing fancy. like 1800s, 1700s, and just standing pillar still, not like looking at me, but looking in my direction. She had dark hair. She had a hair color? Yeah. And she was...

It was... It wasn't blonde. I know that. It wasn't a light-colored hair. It was dark-colored hair. And she was sort of transparent to about a degree of 30%. Like she was almost... almost solid, couldn't see through her.

But it was just kind of faint. I mean, it was as real as day. I freaked out. Yeah. And I was... Did you close your eyes and hope for it to go away? I was scared to move. Yeah.

You froze. So that's kind of how I had my experience. I was scared to move. And, um... And I mean, I don't have any... I had nothing else ever since then or before that, that even was connected to that house. I don't know what that was about.

but it was I saw it I saw her I mean I looked at her for probably like three seconds felt like a half it's like like a minute you know I felt I looked at her and I saw her wasn't like a oh boy is that something out of the corner of my eye no I look directly at it that's scary it was freaky I used to freeze and like sit there and shake in my bed like if I close my eyes maybe it'll just go away and I'd open my eyes and still be there it was weird maybe it was some girl you just actually forgot to kick out of your house so it makes so I've always kind of thought that that you're weird that I don't know. I mean, do I believe in ghosts? I don't know. I think that we're, I feel like that our, I think that's a question we're going to ask, I'll answer, right, is do we believe in ghosts? I absolutely believe us. What's our, what's our particular stance on that?

I know this too. If something happens to me, you're haunting me. I'm coming back to haunt you. Hopefully you're being nice, I'm going to mess with you so much. Friendly ghost. I'm going to write your notes. If you start dating again, I'm going to f*** that girl. It's going to be on.

I would definitely not want to leave you either. Tim's, do you have any counter stories? I do. I had one this weekend. You did? This weekend? Yes, very similar to yours where I just kind of saw like a dark silhouette. And it were like vibrating my bed and it woke me up.

So I was up. But you know what? You have sleep paralysis sometimes? I was up. Fully knew it was going on but I couldn't move. And then I saw them. It was like two of them. And I saw them like leave three.

the wall. Do you think since since it was dark, it was a demon versus a ghost? I don't know, but I googled it and it's like someone was watching and protecting you, and now I'm freaked out what's going to happen that I need protection. Why are you being protected? Yeah, exactly. That's freaked me out even more. And like my room's pretty dark. Like there's nothing really to like, but it was like

it's kind of like illuminated around their shadow if you will and I was like it was gone. I'm like and I was up for like an hour and a half after that. I have chills all over my body. That's nuts. And your bed was shaking? Yeah. I was like I felt the vibration. So it's like someone, you felt that feeling that someone was watching over you too. The energy. Yeah, it was like pushing you further down to the bed a little bit.

Oh my gosh. What is this? Never had that before. That is serious. Yeah. Didn't believe in ghosts before that. I was like, you believe in ghosts now? Now I do. After that one thing? Yeah. Yeah, I do. So do you think it's because we've been talking about it? Somebody's like, almost show him. I thought it was an alien at first. So I was like, am I getting abducted? That's pretty sweet. And then I was like, no, this is not sweet. So if you were going to get abducted, abducted, you would think, like, absolutely that's the coolest thing that's happened to me? Yeah, 100%. I'm I'm afraid that they're going to poke you with a bunch of needles and

stuff. I don't know. I would not be excited about being abducted because I would assume they're going to try to dissect me. Yeah. It's like good luck. So that happened in your room here. Yes. And you've slept in the bed since and nothing happened? Nothing happened. I've been

waiting for them to come back though. I'm so excited. Yeah. I mean, like, I need to see this. We've had our house staged before and they left little tiny bowls of salt in each room. I'm still throwing them damn things away. Yeah, we find them here and there and everywhere.

They hide them in corners. Tiny little shot glasses full of salt. And it's supposed to help to sterilize and keep the spirits out. Really? So maybe you need some salts. He has race magazines in every bathroom. I'm not talking about stacks and stacks of old racing magazines at every bathroom. So every time you sit down and go potty, you see his dad staring back at you.

Or like Buddy Baker or somebody else. But for the most part, it's his dad. And so I asked Dale one day, I was like, do you think that when you die, you can come back through the pictures that people have of you? Like, do you think it's possible to, like, port through these little spaces and just, like, watch? Not that you would need that. But this is, like, how your brain works sometimes, you know, or mine. I'm like, if that's the case, your dad's going to see a lot of unfortunate things in our house

because every time I go to the bathroom, he's looking at you. He's staring at me. I thought that was kind of an odd thing. I was like, how would you feel if, like, one of my parents was staring at you every time you went to the bathroom? Be a little odd? Yeah. What do y'all believe? Comment down a little.

I mean, I know there'll be a lot of funny jokes, but if anybody's got any cool ghost stories, we'd love to hear them.

and I'll repeat exactly what I think I've heard, and it's obviously not the phrase. It's obvious to me, but yeah, I hear you. Yeah, you'll say, hey, you want to go to the store, and I'll be like, what? Do I want some more? Or I love you to the core? What did you say?

I win. I win. I helped you. I helped you with one. Damn it. Damn it. Speaking of damn it, we get to Texas and we sit down. We get there before everybody else.

We sit down at the round table inside the house. And my granny, who is very, like, put together and sweet and all the things, she says to me, as flat as she can that she does not like that I'm using four-letter words on this podcast. Any cussing? And I said, well, I mean, it's a podcast. And she's like, mm-mm, a southern lady never cusses. And I'm like, okay, yes, ma'am, I hear you loud and clear. And I said, what about the F word? And she goes, oh, no, especially not the F word.

So I got a talking to as soon as I got home for my grandmother about all of my cussing on this show. She's going to listen and does listen to every show. And so now Amy's. I'm a little paranoid, but I'm going to have a swear jar. Let's get a swear jar. Let's get a swear jar. She'd have a swear a jar. Let's just get a jar and sit back there and fill it up with cash.

Right next to the boo-base? Amy's swear jar. Okay. Won't play another game? Yeah, let's play another game. All right. So this is another one. from Thames.

I think this will be pretty fun. We're going to play a game called Who Said It? And in this game, Tim's going to read quotes from previous episodes of Bless Your Heart. And we have to decide what was it you or me that said it. Oh, okay. This is going to be fun. Man, this must have taken some combing through.

This should be pretty funny. Stevie Nix is the equivalent of prune juice. I said that. Holy shit. Dale made the, you know, The comparison and I said put it in that nice little package. That's hilarious. That was funny.

I hope you other a a asteris are watching. Don't be coming around my house unless you want to sleep forever. That's Dale talking about the rats. Oh, man. Out of context, this does crazy. He's just so funny out of context. We're going to get calls from Peter. Me?

Ralph. Yeah. This drink kind of has a Jolly Rancher vibe. No. Mm-hmm. If you have a booger in your nose, I come and get it. Don't let it dangle. Help me out.

Ralph. No, it was Amy. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I am always picking boogers out of his nose. He's never really done that to me. But he has always pointing out if I have something on my mouth. I think it's why you say, come and get it.

Yeah. They don't just tell me. Come and get it. Yeah. The next one, I just want to shout out whoever invented soft-closed cabinets and toilet seats. Ralph. Oh, man. Dale, she'll choose.

What a show. You're a weirdo. What a show. I'll do any type of cleanse that doesn't involve putting a tube in my ass. That's me. Ralph. I still haven't done that cleanse, by the way. He still has a chance to stick that tube in his ass.

In the last one. He says a lot of weird things. Hey, speaking of that, what he said to me over the weekend, I think it was Saturday night. It wasn't Sunday night. We go inside to play with my sister and her husband have brought their cats with them. to camp. They're kittens. They're mid-sized kittens. So we're camping with cats in a middle of a farm. You know what I mean? So if they get out, it's a big deal. And the cat, one of the cats got out quite a bit and was hiding under the house. And so it was a whole thing. And the kids were watching a movie in the other bus.

And so Dale and I go into like snuggle and play with these cats because we both like cats. And the kids are always like all over them. And we're laying on the floor. And he's like, you know, I could see you being a cat lady. And I said, what? He goes, well, like, if I die, and I wasn't here anymore. I could totally see you having like 15 cats. I'm like, that's not a compliment. Who says that? That's got like a derogatory tone for sure.

You get to, you know, coin the cat lady. Yeah. It's usually like a sad thing. That is a negative connotation for sure. I'm like, well, what the hell do you mean by that? He's like, I don't know. I can just see that for you. So can you explain that, please?

No. I don't think it was me. It was you. It was just you and me in there. I don't think I said that. I don't remember going in there and playing with the cats by ourselves. We did. Man, I don't remember.

Holy smokes. You're browned out? No. We weren't drinking that much. I mean, I don't know if I said that. Maybe I didn't mean 15 cats. Maybe I mean like three, two, three cats. Wow.

Yeah. I mean, nothing against people that have lots of cats. You know what my response to him was? I was like, no, if you're gone, I'm going to have a nice big giant barn. I'm going to have a bunch of horses and all the other things. Like, I'm just going to be just fine. I might have a cat or two, but not 15. Yeah.

How many cats do you have to have to have? have to be considered a cat lady though that's a good question i don't know like more than three we both the thing is is like don't get us wrong we both like cats we love cats yeah yeah i've had cat i've had i've had cats i've had cats yeah you know we got rid of our cats when gus came along because we just when amy moved from florida she brought her orange cat i brought my black cat too and the orange one got out and never returned yeah oscar he did he used the dog door i would leave him at dale's house when i started going out on the race you know circuit with him and he watched killer going in out of the dog door and he was like, hell yes, I am never going back in there again.

And I tried to catch him. There was a cornfield out in front of my house. You saw him like a week later in the age of the woods. I caught him or I thought I was going to catch him because our neighbor found him, got him in the car, but they didn't close the door fast enough. He darted out again. And then he was up by the townhouses. He had traveled all the way up there.

Tammy saw him. So, yeah. He had a long great life. Wow. Orange cats are fun. They're kind of like chaotic. He was cool. He would catch those little mice, those little like catnip mice and bring him back to me.

He would play fetch. He was also kind of crazy. Like, he'd karate choppy too. I bought my first cat from a mall in New Hampshire. And he lived on the bus for years for most of his life. That was buddy. And then I got three rescues. So you're a cat and the bus kind of guy, too.

I forgot about that. Yep. Well, I was on the bus. It was nice. The cat had his own little litter box in a little compartment. And he lived on the bus all year. He traveled. Shane was my bus driver.

and he traveled with Shane. Now when Shane come home, you know, a buddy would come into the house, but it was rare. Do you want to tell people about your hat? I don't know if they can really see what's going on. Can you see my hat?

No, I can't see it from here. It says jugs. We talked about this last week and how we've gotten the Jugs hats going, and this is one of the samples. So we have black on black, Navy on Navy,

and then there's three or four other colors that will go live on the website today. But this is the first one. I like that. Just us girls. Yeah, if you got a group of girlfriends, it's perfect. It is. I think they're going to start making coosies to.

I'll be honest. By each of your friend, your old girlfriend. One of these just us girls' hats. And if you're a guy and you want to support jugs, you can do that too. You can mean whatever you want it to mean, I guess. Hi, guys. We are back at Dirty Mo Media Studios for another section of Ask Amy and Bless Your Heart. Dale and I have a fun show here.

So far, we are drinking some watermelon mules sponsored by High Rock. And we're excited for your questions. What do you have? First question is from Imelda. They want to know how the swans that Cletus gave you were doing. The swans are good. So they are George and Cleo, and they're down in the pond, and they've almost cleaned up the pond. We check on them like once or twice a day, at least everybody's just fascinated.

And they seem to do good. They're cleaning up the pond. The pond used to be covered in green algae, and now it's like clean. At least it's clean on the top. We've had them, I guess, four days. Two geese have joined them. Two geese joined them yesterday, so now they have buddies. On their trip north.

Uh-huh. Maybe they're going to nest. Who knows? Yeah. I'm excited. The geese was still there this morning. Oh, they were? Yeah.

You checked on this morning as you went out? We just drive by and catch a glimpse on the driveway. We saw them. I bet the geese were eating the food, too. Somebody's eating that food out of the bowl. The swans hadn't touched it yet. Yeah. That's why the geese.

It's amazing. I'll be honest with you. You know, Cleetus, thank you for bringing the swans. Nobody's ever going to do that. That was a fabulous surprise. I don't like surprise this, and that blew me away. And if it continues on the path that it's on,

it is a cool, neat addition to our property. And our girls, it's perfect if you have a daughter to have swans. I mean, it's pretty insane, yeah. So thank you very much.

It's awesome. Yeah. What's the list of animals you guys have now? I know donkeys are on the list and swans. Two swans, four female buffalo, five donkeys, one mule,

two dogs, a bunch of fish in the fish tank. And some soon-to-be butterflies. And some butterflies. Yes, we have a butterfly kit, and they have cocooned. They started doing that yesterday. And they're all hanging upside down now. So, like, in 10 days or so, we'll have butterflies. Wow.

I was going to ask what's next, but I think butterflies is the answer. Yeah. That's awesome. Next question from David. We kind of talked about ghosts and aliens last couple weeks. He wants to know if you guys have ever experienced deja vu. Hell, it is. Oh, man.

I can't recall feeling deja vu. I feel like sometimes I'm thinking maybe I'm in a loop or I've just got a daze and forgotten what I was doing, but not really deja vu. I've had some very heavy deja vu moments. Yeah. And you can recall? Well, it's not racing things or things in everyday life? It's usually a, well, no, I mean, it's been about everyday life too, but sometimes it's

around racing, sometimes it's, I'm at a, you know, maybe it was, you know, 20 years ago or 15 years ago, I'm at a racetrack, and I'm like, I swear that this has happened already, or I've lived this. I did this already. And, or I'd be at home, and a series of events might happen very just non, you know, or completely ordinary, like, somebody walk in a door, somebody say something over in that side of the house, and then this noise happens, and I'll be like, damn, I feel like that was yesterday. Did that not just all happened yesterday? You know, and very, like, not just, like,

coincidental stuff, like, really strong senses of deja vu. And so, a lot of times it's, like, random for me. It's just, like, I've seen, I've seen this street view I've never really seen in real life before or had it in a dream or something. I'm like, I dreamed that, like, six months ago. Yeah. It's nothing that of substance that I can remember, but it happens all time. So that has happened to me. Like, I feel like I've thought about something super hard. Like, I know people say manifestation, but I almost feel like it's a premonition versus a manifestation. Like I thought it was happening or something in my mind knew it was coming. That's not deja vu, right?

Not by the traditional sense, no. But I feel like if you get this feeling like, oh, I know what's about to happen. It's a little bit of that. Maybe it's more intuition than deja vu. Yeah, intuition. Yeah. But it's very interesting. It's fascinating either way.

Our next question is from AJ, and he wants to know what was your biggest oh shit moment as a new parent. I mean, honestly, mostly when the, oh, shit, was happening. Like, those explosive, I need all hands on deck. Somebody come assist me ASAP. That was the most, like, traumatic, oh, shit moments. When the poop comes out of the diaper. It's coming everywhere. Yeah.

My gosh. I know. And we had girls, so, I mean, I know that boys sometimes, if you don't have the proper things, you can get, like, peed in the face and stuff like that. But we had girls, so we didn't deal with that. but we did deal with some weird poop situations. The little span of when their guts are changing from feeding inside of you to being out in the real world and eating whatever you feed them.

Massive shift in the poop. The poop changes a bunch and colors, consistency, and all that. And there's this one little span where it's like a black paint or a tar. That's right when they're born, yeah. Yeah. And you can't get it all. You got and you're so you're trying to be so careful. You're like so delicate tiny little baby.

And you're like trying to wipe her bottom. Man handle. To get this. It's like tar. It's like sparkle off. And so that part is like, holy cow, I had, they don't tell you about this. And then the, yeah. There's a lot of things they don't tell you about before you have babies, especially

your first one because they don't want to scare you from doing it all together. Yeah. When they spit up their little white spit up, you're like, oh. Yeah, getting thrown up on. Like all those things are shocking at first. become pretty normal, but everything you wear, be ready to have it pooped on or thrown up on. Yeah. Yeah.

That's the, I guess, the most shocking part of having babies. We had, you'll think, people might think this is funny. So when we had Ila, we have, we have around the house, we have a lot of sharp, marble shelving and, and, and features. Yeah, there's features. and they're right around that, you know, that two foot, three foot height. And they're in the wall and all around the living room and upstairs. They're, you know, like kind of the base of a fire pit or a fireplace.

I'm sorry, inside the house. So it was like a hard-edged corner marble rock sort of feature. And so I order all of this stuff on the internet, the little rubber balls that you can put on the corners. He foam-wrapped everything. And foam-wrapped all the hard edges. I found, there's this. one feature that was going to be up where their bedroom was, and it's a, it's the base of a fireplace. It's a hearth, but it's like a foot off the floor.

Foot off the floor. It's got a square hard edge. I'm like, man, if she went into that in any way shape or form, that would be so painful. And so I found this exact perfect foam to put on the corner that colors the same, and it's still there. Yeah. I mean, when you put it on, I thought the same, I thought that's what was going to happen. I'm like, Dale has redecorated the house now. and we're going to have this foam

because how are you going to get that off? Yeah. I put locks. Even if you pull it off, like the schmeg that's going to be there. I put locks on every cabinet. I got, there's still covers on every outlet.

Yeah. The thing is, Isla never messed with any of that stuff anyway. But Nicole did. So we had to put them back out. Once Ila got old enough, we took all the things out and we had to put them back. So it's about time to maybe take all that back out.

But I was the one. Like, I was like, you saw. Trouble spot. Yeah. Amazon fix. Do you remember? Trouble.

Trouble. Trouble. She was sitting with us in Key West. We were outside at the outdoor table. Speaking of her head, she never fell into any of these things at the house. But she's sitting in my lap and just kind of beep bopping around. And then she like all of a sudden just jerks and bashes her head against the table. And like, now she saw a scar on her forehead from it.

Oh, really? Yeah. I remember having a little line across there. Yes, it's still there. She still has a little mark. But, you know, you can foam wrap the whole house, but she's going to hit it on the table somewhere else. There's always a spot that you missed or there's something that you can't control. Yeah.

Next question is from Cooper. You guys have mentioned you go to Texas and the camper for Easter. So how was all that and how was the camper? Oh. It was great. Yeah, yeah. It was an awesome time. There were four or five of us camping.

Is that right? One, two, three, five campers out there. And the whole family was there. It was fun. We got a camping world, fifth wheel, about a year and a half ago, 36 foot. And it's got bunks in the back for the girls. They love it. and I take it to the races.

I took it to Cordill. It's very functional. We got to do a little to pull it. And we end up taking it to Texas. I've got my old bus driver, Kenny, still pulls it for me. He's semi-retired. He keeps telling Dale. I'll quit driving for you when you quit racing.

I don't think he expected it to go to. I'll take it to four, probably four of the broadcast this summer. So, I mean, we use it 12 times, 15 times this year. And so it's amazing, man. It's a lot of fun. I'd like to maybe, I'd like to get a side-by-side that we can all ride in, and I'd like to get a fifth wheel that I could keep the side-by-side in. Like the old one to Kobe had?

Yeah, like a toy hauler that has a bed in the back and all that. But we haven't really looked at another model, and we really like this one that we got. But it's fun. I like it. I can fix it. And anything that breaks on it, I pretty much can figure it out. And it's real convenient to have. When we go out to Texas, there's really, we're staying in a hotel. If we don't have that, we're going to have staying at a hotel and can't, you know,

everybody's spending the night on the farm and campfires. And it's safe. Everybody can play and have fun. The kids don't have to worry about what time they get up or go to bed because everybody's just right there. And it's neat. Yeah. It's really nice. Some good memories that get built.

It really is. My wish is, and me and Kobe, who is my brother-in-law, we're trying to coordinate a trip where we meet each other. They're coming from Texas, and we'd be coming west, and we'd be coming west, and we meet somewhere, maybe in Tennessee or something for a long weekend or something, camping at a campground. So that's kind of the hope of the next big trip with that deal.

That'd be fun. Yeah. Next question is from Shannon And she wants to know What's the one thing you did as a kid That your family still reminds you of today? That we hid? Like something that happened

Like oh remember when you So for example My sister ran over my other sister With a toy shopping cart When they were like two and three It still gets brought up 30 years later At every family function Yeah is there anything like that

That gets brought up at your guys family functions Um Not really I mean we haven't brought it up in a while But we were going to the mall one day We always had, so there's three of us girls, Amy Katie Lacey, Lacey's the youngest, and we always had a friend over at the house. One of us, you know, so there was at least three to four to five kids. Mom needed to run out to the mall to grab something, and the mall's like on the other side of town.

Well, we get in the car, and Lacey was always in the way back. And this is before, like, the car seat rules were such a thing. And she was probably five or six in the time. We get halfway there, and Lacey's not in the car. She had been playing at the next door neighbor's house. And so we just ran off and left her. and that traumatized her for a while. And so she would bring that up for a little bit,

but I think she's over it now. I think the one thing that might get brought up is something that actually happened on, I think it was a Thanksgiving, Earnhardt gathering. Everybody's at Mamaw's house, and dad is there, and I'm late. Actually, I think this was on Christmas morning, Christmas lunch afternoon,

because I had a new disc man with the tape cassette adapter and I'd just gotten it that morning from Kelly for Christmas. I'm driving down Highway 3 to Mammals. I don't own a cell phone. I'm probably... I don't know. I'm probably 18 or so. Do they have cell phones?

No, I'm just telling them. I'm just putting it down in the time frame. So I don't have a cell phone. I'm around 18 years old. I'm driving my truck that I had just financed. Like I had just traded in my old truck that dad got me for graduation. I hated it. It was a two-tone brown, no carpet.

So it was like a farm truck straight up, full-size Z-San-1. And I wanted my S-10 back, my original truck that I had when I was 16, but it was long gone. So I traded this farm truck in on an extended cab, S-10 pickup truck. and it was a 91. And so it was so cool. I was so proud of it. I financed it for five years, about $100 a month.

And I'm driving this thing down the road, and I can afford that. I'm happy, right? And I was messing with that walkman, changing CDs, ran off the road down into a ditch, just a regular ditch, but I hit a driveway culvert,

a pipe, and it threw that truck in the air, and it barrel rolled seven times. And it broke, one of the rear tires broke off at the axle. It destroyed this truck. The roof of the truck was mashed down to where the mirror was in the tape deck or into the stereo. So the roof was crushed down. The great thing about it was having the extended cab is kind of what kept me from getting crushed.

But it was weird. Everything, when the truck stopped flipping, everything that I had, everything that I had in the truck was perfectly down in this right corner. Yeah. So the truck started flipping so fast. When it rolled onto the roof, I had my hands on the steering wheel, and it crushed the windshield down on my knuckles. And so I felt that, and I went, ah!

And my arms went like this, because the truck was spinning so fast, and it was like, I couldn't put my arms back in, because it was so the force of spinning, like if you were to spin in a circle. Yeah, I was like, then I grabbed the bottom of the steering wheel and just kind of pulled myself underneath

and down into the seat. And the thing gets done flipping. And I'm fine, except for my knuckles were scratched up from the windshield. And get out, and as soon as I get out, there's a car stopped, and it's a couple. And they had just got engaged that morning. and they were like, holy moly, I'd run up to the car, and they were like, oh my gosh, you're, you flip so many times.

And I was like, do you have a cell phone? And they were like, yeah. And so by this time, there's so many cars. My truck's sitting in the middle of the street, and there's so many cars parked, and everybody stopped. And this lady's like, you need to sit down. You're in shock. And I was like, no, I just got a call dad. And I got on the phone with him and I was like, man, I had flipped my truck.

You know, and he, you know, says, all right. So he comes, he drives past me to the farm, which is another mile or two down the road and gets the rollback. And we, you know, had to talk to the police and all that. But then we just put the thing on the rollback and took it back to the farm. And I got some pictures of it when we get back to the farm. I mean, it's literally like hours after I flipped this. thing of the truck up on the rollback and me looking at the inside of it and everything how much it twisted up but um we get that truck and i was like man i'm getting ready to get my ass chewed

he is going to chew my ass it's i've ruined the gathering he's had to leave my malls everybody's worried and i've just made a you know mess out of the day and i've ruined my truck but he'll even though i'm paying for it he'll be mad at me you know for tearing it up and he just laughed really we're rolling down the road and I'm just getting ready to I'm just ready to hear it here it comes and he just starts laughing and he goes man I flip my I flip my car when I was 16 or 18 he's like I'd run around this curve you know that curve over there yeah that curve I rolled right over went went had a girl with me right down the road talking BS and I missed a turn and you got a a wreck with a chick in the car damn at least you didn't have that going on no you had a lot of real wrecks

that. Yeah. And I was like, oh, he's not upset. Yeah. He's like, we're seeing. I got insurance for that and got me a 1994. S-10 pickup. Hey.

That's awesome. Full circle. He still has an S-10 pickup. S-10 pick-up. Yes-time pick-ups are great. You remember the Baja S-10? Yeah. Bang.

I wanted one of them so bad. I wanted one so bad. I'd drive by the dealership just to look at it. Everyone says, what's your dream truck? I'm like, S-10 pickup. Really? I put a bench seat or something in there. Yeah, Dale has a bench.

Yeah. He had it a long time to find another one. Ray Everingham helped me find an S-10 and restore it identical to what mine was. When I got my first car, it was an 88 S-10 pickup truck. It had the Tahoe package, which meant it had a specific type of wheel on it. And it was a four-wheel drive. And I had to search high and low just for like the wheel moldings and all kinds of weird. that this thing had on it that was unique to that specific S-10.

Anyways, it was a, I have it. I'm glad I got it. It was expensive to restore it because it's worth really nothing as an S-10. Like there's not a big, you know, not a market for S-10s out there, but I needed it. Because it got away from me. I woke up, man, I had this black and silver S-10 truck that I loved. I loved everything about it. Got it when I was 16.

and I graduated high school, and dad thought that I wanted this two-tone brown, no carpet, Silverado. And I was like, I come on from school, and he's like, here's your graduation present. I was like, where the hell's my S-10? That's gone. And I knew, I found where my S-10 was is on this used car like Canapolis,

and I would drive by there, and then one day I drove by and it was gone. I'm like, yep. That would break my heart, too, if I had my, you know, I hated that brown truck. I liked and somebody traded it in while I was at school. I treated that brown truck like crap. You treated it like crap? I treated it like crap because I didn't like it.

I didn't like it. But I didn't have much of a choice. It was, you know, it was dad did give it to me. I mean, it was like a, but finally I got, I was like, I can trade this in and I can I can pay for this. You know, when I got a job, I was like, well, now I can just buy it myself. Yeah. Yeah.

Let me get one more question for you. Amy, Ashley wants to know if you've ever been able to do a ride-along with Dale, and how was it? I have. I've done two ride-alongs. The first one was in Charlotte, and this is right after we started dating. Rick Hendrick had some friends, and I don't forget who else, that he wanted to... We talked about this on the show, I feel like. I feel like we talked about it. We've talked about it a lot because I can't let it go. So Dale and I were, I don't know what we're doing, nothing. We ended up with the racetrack in Charlotte. and he's given ride-arounds to all Rick's friends.

And eventually, he thinks it's a good idea for me to get in the race car and drive. He drove me. Did you drive me around? I think so. He must have driven me around at least one lap. And then he wants me to drive. But he's not willing to get in the car with me to ride along. So I'm like, wait a second.

I don't even know how to start. I know. This is so terrible. Mind you, I am dressed. I am snapped into the Hans device. Can't move my head. Can't see nothing. I feel like you can't move your eyeballs when you're in that thing.

and I'm like mega out of my place out of my element I have no business doing what I'm doing I know how to shift a car but that's as far as that goes I don't even know how to start this damn car and so Rick decides to get in the car with me and so he squeezes in

through the passenger window his car has a suicide door so he didn't have to do that but he gets in the car with me and we ride right off there were no instructions given and I'm driving this thing like a street car So I slow down and downshift as I'm in the turn.

And he's like, no, no, no, because I was going to blow up the car. Oh, yeah. Like I said, I had no business getting in it. And I get back and I was so mad at him. And I couldn't show it because all of Rick's friends were there. And he and I had just started dating. But I'm like, I can't believe he did that to me and put me in that situation. I could have been really bad.

Yeah. Good for Rick for getting in the car, though. Yeah, especially I had blown up the car. That would have been really, really bad. But Rick was, like, hold his hand out and, like, show me where to go. Yeah, he saved my marriage that day. He saved the marriage I would eventually have Yeah

He couldn't he couldn't believe it either He's like you're not gonna get in there I was like no I'm not going to get in there This is your idea Yeah that was Dale back then He took me around Bristol to and that was epic No you're not the same person

I would ride today He um He took me around Bristol and that was insane I can't imagine racing at any track With all the other cars around you and having to focus as fast as they go Your eyes are vibrating

Everything's like So you have to have to of like tunnel vision almost. But Bristol is like, it's so small. You don't really get to think about anything else. And we got loose. Yeah. And...

So they treat the bottom of the racetrack with the PJ1. And that stuff's like hard as plastic when we were there. And it literally is like plastic. So when the tire hits it, it just slips immediately. And so I come off a turn four. And I was running pretty hard. And I come off turn four and the left rear got on that stuff. He was trying to scare me a little bit.

And he goes, whoop. And we slid out toward the wall, and I called it right at the fence. And I was like, holy shit. Like, it was a big deal. Especially when you're not in control of the car and you have no idea what's about to happen. I was scared to death. She's like, I put my arm out. I'm done.

Don't do any more laps. Get me out of here. And he did another laugh. He was like, uh-uh. I was like, no, we're battling. We're battling through our fingers. We're finishing this. Yeah.

The video of your face, when that happens, you can kind of tell, like, Yeah, I was terrified. Yeah. It was a big moment. I shook for a long time after I got out of the car. It was a big moment in the car. That was a legit, almost your ass-busting moment. That's the best, though.

That's what you want. And I say that because... It gave me a very realistic perspective, like I'm saying, of how they feel when they're in the car. I mean, granted, they do have control over it, but you know, you get hit or something. You don't. Those type of things happen every, you know,

handful of laps in the race. But I wanted her to know, like, that what that was right there is something that no one will ever get. Like all the other rides we did that day. I know. My dad was there that day and he got jealous. He's like, dang, he couldn't have gotten loose. Like Amy got a, Amy got like something that you can't really replicate.

Yeah. That's offensive. That's all the purpose. It goes back to that. Like, do you believe in spirits thing? I feel like maybe sometimes his dad does stuff like that. Don't you feel? Yeah.

There's moments in your life where he's like, yeah. Here you go, kids. That's fun. I think so. That's awesome. That's a good way to end-ass gaming. Yeah. Thank you guys.
