Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I are here in the Dirty Mo Media Studios, and we have a great show for you today. We're going to talk about a lot of silly things. A burger contest we had in the Charlotte Airport, Dude Wipes. I have a very embarrassing confession for you guys. Ask Amy. Ask Amy and a few fun games. So let's get started.

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Bless your heart. Oh, yeah, this is why it's going to be, girl. 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. All right, today's drink of the week, brought to you by High Rock, is called the Easy Breezy.

And it's a pretty simple recipe. High Rock, cranberry juice, grapefruit juice, and then you garnish it with grapefruit. So it's got to be nice and light. You want to try? Yes. All right. Cheers.

Cheers. And notice that you don't have a straw today. Aye. That's good. It's hanging. Kind of tropical feeling. It's tart. Tart and refreshing.

Yeah. Easy breezy. Mm, that's good. Visit high rock vodka.com to find high rock in your area. Also remember that you have to be 21 years or older and you need to drink responsibly. When I lived with Dad Teresa, that's what this show's about. Back in the old days. We had, Teresa was very.

health conscious ahead of her time, honestly. We ate Popeye corn puff cereal out of a bag and it was just

no sugar, no additives, just no junk. Yeah. It's kind of like what was the corn puffs

that the not Captain Crunch but the corn puffs I know what you're talking about. We didn't really eat those. Smacks? Smacks? Yeah.

Smacks. Yes. So it was like smacks, but without all the great... Yeah. But anyhow, she ate... She ate, and we ate grape fruits. Yeah, like a halved grapefruit. Yeah.

I mean, that was like a snack. Mm-hmm. I mean, every other two or three days. Did she have those little special spoons that, like, saw the little... I don't remember. No. The segmented spoons that, like, the little edges of them were... I know, but we didn't have that...

Back in the 80s, but... Yes, we did. We did have that shit back in the 80s. But, I mean, I mean... I think we use a spoon. Or just cut it with a knife and then spoon it out, yeah. But we would dump a bunch of sugar on it. Cut it in half, dump a bunch of sugar on it and eat it.

So good. It's a lost art. We should just get some great fruits. I ate so good. Yeah, they are so good. I was so mad. I was so mad that I had to eat that shit. But it was actually probably why I'm kicking some of my chast these days.

Because of all your great fruit eating when you were young. Before I decided to treat my. body like a carnival ride. Yeah, that's right. In my 20s and 30s. I did a lot of hard work. In 40s. In my teens.

In 40s. We're going to talk about that. Are we? Carnival ride. Carnival ride? Your body? Yeah. Vegas?

Oh, I can't do Vegas. You're still hung over. So we went to Vegas on Sunday for a high rock appearance. We got to meet with the Texas Roadhouse folks. It was really fun. A quick little two-hour deal. And we just stayed the night because the event was from 8 to 10 p.m. Dale had it in his mind that he was going to get there and do Vegas.

And I can't do Vegas. I don't think I've ever really been that good at partying. I've tried to like stay up and do all the things with Dale, but I regret it heavily for days on end. And I still feel like I'm hung over from just sleep deprivation or whatever from Monday night or from Sunday night. So like I totally can't hang. But Dale stayed up all night long. I went to bed at 5.30.

Which is 8.30 a.m. our time. Yeah, all night. Yeah. It was, I had fun. We went there for High Rock. We have a relationship with Texas Roadhouse. All of, I think, in 300 or so locations, and hopefully soon nationwide, you can go to Texas Roadhouse and get a, what is called a Dale Yeah. It's a really good drink.

If you like cream sickle, think cream sickle and vodka. It's awesome. And it's on the menu right there front of you at the table. But we were celebrating or working on that partnership with Texas Roadhouse. And we're going to spend a night because our deal was later in the evening. We had dinner at Nobu beforehand. We had plenty of time there kind of in between landing and going to the appearance. So we stuffed ourselves with sushi.

And there's a bar there that we've been going to for so many years. We've already been through two remodels. Wow. Yeah. has had two different names. You know how every decade they'll like refurbished the bar over on the... They over hold this one. The bartender was telling us all the face.

We've been twice. Three miles on that one. But we're sitting there drinking some drinks at the bar and I'm like, yeah, I text Denny about that slot machine that he hit all that, you know, went all that money on. And I was like, what exactly was the specific name? And he told me, he's like, Buffalo Stampede. He's like, there's other buffaloes. Don't be fooled. You got to find the stampede.

Don't go to the stampede only. And I was like, all right. So we walked all around. I walked all around. No, so he decides he's going to, this kind of goes back to not wanting to ask for help at Lowe's or anything like that. He's like,

no, I'm just going to walk around and find it. I'm like, surely Denny was like in the high roller section. He's probably not over here where the petty slots are. Definitely. So start there. And he's like, I'm just going to walk around and look for it. While he gets up to go walk around and look for it, Morgan and I get on the website.

because you can find exactly where these machines are located in the casino. So we were kind of laughing at that. We were like, this is just one of those things, men versus women, a total difference. I found the Buffalo Stampede in a little, it's a little four-game kiosk kind of situation. And right next to the sports book, sit down. And Denny's playing with thousands of dollars winning hundreds of, you know, tens of thousands of dollars. And I played with, you know, dollars. and I won a $1,000.

Wow. Settling on that machine for like four or five minutes. Yeah. And then we walked down through the casino and I found another machine that just was calling my name and I won a $600. I sat there for a while as like a wheel of fortune, which is one of my favorites.

And I won $600 bucks on that. And then Amy and then went to bed and I ended up going to the... You're on everywhere. will. I like roulette because you don't have to do math. And you just kind of like, oh, this is my daughter's birthday. This is my wife's birthday. This is my birthday. Oh, number 17. That's my granddaddy's racing number, you know, just whatever. And I lost all the money that I won. So that's the thing. He's playing the slots. And as he's winning those big numbers, I'm like, okay,

now cash out. Like, don't keep, don't lose it all. And I lost it. And then I left him. And he lost it all. But 1.30 in the morning after being up all day. We went to bed. That's long. I mean, that's 4.30 in the morning of my time. That was too late. I got two hours of sleep, came home, flew on the airplane, got another two hours. Yeah. Well, before we even got to the airplane, the only reason I even knew. Oh my gosh. Okay, so here's the thing. My man lost, he went upstairs and took his sports coat off. And that's where the key was. Left his room key in the room. So he's locked out of the tower, which is why he ended up having to stay up all night. I think around three. or four o'clock he was tired. But at 5.30, I started getting, find my phone pings so that he could

wake me up so that I could come downstairs and get him. So I come up, I come downstairs in my robe, bare feet, madder than a hornet, trying to find him, and he's nowhere to be found. I'm like, I go down at the little bar that we were sitting at thinking maybe it was open. I turn around and I see that there's people coming. There's not many people in the hotel at this point. But enough, enough to see you walking around in your robe. And so I go back upstairs. I didn't have my phone. and I text him some really aggressive where the fuck are you to type text messages. And like, I'm going to be downstairs at that lobby. You beat me down there.

And so I go down and I just look at him. He gets into the elevator, no words. He gets into the bed. And he gets to sleep for like an hour before I have to start waking him up again to go to the airport. But he was a hot mess. Sure, I was. I was, yeah, I lost all that money that I won at the roulette wheel, which was fine. I played roulette for two, two, three hours maybe.

And then, and I was like, oh, I'm done, I'm done. I don't even really know what I want to do next. So I'm just going to go to the room. And I'm like, I ain't got my key. Oh, no. Amy's like dead asleep, I know. And my phone ringer's never on. And I'm texting her and she's not answering.

And while I'm doing this, and this goes on for two hours. I walk this hotel like the perimeter of the casino and it's like I mean no shit man it's like at least half a mile three quarter mile just to walk the perimeter of this I mean I'm walking this thing over

and over and over I went to the front desk and I'm like hey I'm in this hotel I don't have a key and they're like which which room and I told them the room they're like oh that's the Nobu Tower you got to go over to the reception on the other side and I'm like I didn't even know there was another one That sounds too complicated.

And I just walk away. And Amy's like, well, why didn't you go to the other one? I'm like, I didn't know where it was. And she's like, you didn't ask them. I'm like, no, I'm not asking them. And so I would rather just go wandering off and figure it out myself. I'd rather heavy foot around like a mall walker on the edge of this casino. Yep.

And I might have got another beer. I might have played another slot or two. And finally, I'm like, God, I'm tired. I'm so tired. And I'm like, all right, this is like emergency. Last resort. I'm going to hit the find my phone on her phone so her phone starts ringing like it's lost. And boy, she doesn't love that.

She doesn't love that. No, it's the most annoying sound. Yep. You can change the sound to something nice. You can change the sound to my voice if you wanted to. Help me. Help, help. That would be more fun.

But honestly, I was so annoyed that you just were up still. I know. The whole thing just made me more angry than I should have been. But I should have come to expect this. It was our one, it's literally like the one day, one night I'm going to go. In my mind, now this is not true. Because I was like, remember we were flying there? And I'm like, man, I can't wait to Vegas.

This is going to be awesome. I'm going on. I'm going hard to paint. And you weren't lying. I thought he was just kidding around. I'm like, I feel like I haven't been here in forever. And Morgan's like, yeah, it was like three months ago. You were here in January.

Yeah, you were here three months ago. I was like, really? And so in my mind, I'm like, I'm going to Vegas for one night. I got, I got nothing but flying to do tomorrow. Never mind. I don't know that. You got to come back and be a parent. I don't.

All kinds of things happening. I know. I'm like, I don't know when I'll get back here. He can justify anything. We're going to, hammer down. We're going to drop the throttle and we're going to put it in fourth. And we're going to jump, dump. dump the clutch, haul ass.

We're just, and then, you know, we'll worry about the consequences later. It sounds like a Dale Juniorism, if I've ever heard one. Yeah, yeah. I'm just going to justify this and worry about the consequences later. Well, I've had some things, I've had some experiences in life where I know, I just know it. When I get, when I'm laying on that, when I'm laying on that bed, taking my last breath, I don't want to have left anything on the table.

I would have rather walked paces around the casino all night long. I ain't going to piss my wife off than just to have to gone to sleep and, you know, had my reasonable amount of fun. You do you, I want you to look at me laying there and go, yep, you did it all. You got it all. You got all of it. I feel like if you died tomorrow, I could say that. Like, I think you've really really done your job there.

Hell yeah. Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest bless your heart gear, go to shop. dirtymomedia.com. We've got plenty of options for. for everybody and adding new stuff every day. Go to shop.durdymo Media.com. Ila turned seven yesterday.

We have a seven-year-old. She's so fun, man. Ila has gotten, like, so sweet, and you could talk to her like an adult, and she's just really great. She's in a great spot. She's like, I'm putting her to bed. This is cool shit as a parent.

You might not understand this at all. But she goes, when do I turn seven? I was like, what do you mean? She goes, when was I born? what hour. She wanted to know what time she was born. I'm like, dang. Okay. Amy.

Yeah. When was she born? He comes scuffling. Amy. He comes scuffling it in Nicole's rooms. I'm putting her down. He's like, what time was she born? And he just looks at me like, you better know because I got to take her an answer.

I was like around 10.40, you know, right before 11 o'clock. And he was like, okay. I go back in there. And I tell her that, right? And she's like, oh, darn. I got a whole day. I got a whole day. And I'm like, yeah.

yeah, you'll be in bed and already sleep for two hours when you actually do turn seven. And so the whole day later, we're putting her in bed, and she goes, in two hours, I'll be seven. Yeah, she's been thinking about it all day long. Listen. Even though she woke up and we, like, had cake for breakfast and the whole, like, the whole day was her day. When you're a parent, one of the things that kind of frustrated me, and I'm not, Amy, maybe to a degree, was their inability to understand time. Yeah. They don't know what yesterday means.

They don't know what tomorrow means. They don't know what a minute, five minutes, ten minutes feels like. They still kind of don't. I'll ask me the other day how many seconds were in a day. So I had to Google that. She's like, what? And it's 86,400. I won't forget now.

And so until a certain age, you'll tell them, we're going to do that in 10 minutes. Or you get to play for five minutes. They really don't know what that means. No. Unless you set the timer, they have no concept of how long that feels. So for her to be asking like these little like, oh, I turn, she, you know, for her to kind of get, starting to get the concept of time is nice. Yeah.

It's such relief. I'll be honest, if you heard asking me when Nicole was born, I'd have to look it up on her thing. I know it's in the middle of the afternoon. Yeah, it's like middle afternoon, four-ish. Four or around four-ish, but like I don't know the exact time. My mom could tell you the exact time to the minute that all of her kids were born, and I can't do that. I'm trying to have, I'm trying to remember. When you were born?

No, I'm trying to, I do, I remember, I don't. The birth? Where are you going, Ralph? I'm trying to remember. I remember more about Nicole than that day in the hospital and the whole experience than I do I do Ila. Really? The only thing I remember about I. The one thing that I remember about Ila, and this is when the guy came in and told us she had that imperfection in her heart.

Yeah, that was way after she was born. I know. It like blanked. Mind erased you? Mind erased me. Oh, man. And that was a scary little moment. Well, the experience with Isla is just very different.

Like the room was different, the whole thing was different. We saw a little thing. Yeah, she had a hole in her heart that eventually grew back. But, yeah, it was scary. But that was way after. Yeah. I know. And, like, I remember the whole thing with Nicole.

Well, Mimi was there for Isla. Do you remember that? Oh, I remember sitting in a waiting room with her. Yeah. That was special. Should we tell this? Why not? We went to the airport yesterday to do a really fun thing.

to do a really fun thing. I'll let you tell everybody what the fun part. All right. So Whiskey River, we have one in the Charlotte Airport. It does amazing. Got voted number one casual dining experience in all of, I think, the country. Yeah, in the airports. In all the airports across the country.

We learned that Charlotte is the eighth busiest airport in the world. And so we've had Whiskey River in one of the Concord. the concourses down there for over 10 years, and it's just awesome, done. Amazing. The foot traffic's insane, but it's a great place to go chill and live music and kill some time during your layover. And they invited us out to the second annual cook off.

They're going to cook burgers. It's all the chefs from in these different restaurants in the... It's four different local breweries that are now opening restaurants in the airports. Yeah. And so like Noda, Sycamore. Wicked Weed, Weed, and OMB. But these chefs that are cooking this already work in places in the airports. And we sat down and it was fun.

We had a great time. Do it again, absolutely. But Amy and I both ended up getting a little sick. A little belly ache. Oh, no. I was putting Isla to bed and I'm like, I think I'm going to need to hand this book over to your dad. I had to read Isle's book and Amy went to Emerald. Emergency room.

Emergency room. Maybe went to an emergency room upstairs. Yeah. It was epic little hour I had, but. I'm not a thrower-upper. Yeah. And so I'll just get nauseous and just kind of, and it, yeah. Melting it.

Nothing happens, yeah. Maybe it's my mentals. Like, once I start feeling like that, I just know I need to get it out. But we don't really know what calls that, but the burgers. They were insane. They were insane good. The one that one was. It had.

It was more of like a Mexican. vibe. It had crema and cohita cheese and had a green guac. It had guacamole on the bottom and had a raw not-fried green tomato slice on the bottom of the burger. And then it had tortilla chips, like strips of tortillas in the top. And they gave us a Mexican laager a drink with it. It was just like, I was like, damn. And Amy goes, I'm ready to take a trip. She took two bites of that burger. She's like, okay, let's book a trip. No, it wasn't the

burger. I was in the airport. I'm like, this makes you want to go somewhere. She was. We go, every time we go to the airport, she's like, ugh, hate the airport, hate traveling. Well, they've, hate the hustle and bustle, right? They have really done a good job renovating our airport. And the process is only like halfway through.

Now they're like in the other, the E-Concourse where the Whiskey River is, so we didn't get to see that. But it's really nice. Yeah. And so. We're walking around there. Yeah. And she's like, I'm ready.

This makes me want to go on a trip. go somewhere. I was like, really? I was like, wonder what, so I don't have to bring you to the airport to walk around every time. I wonder what we could have at home that could actually spring you into, bring you into trip mode. You can't parade you around the airport just to make you get in the mood to go somewhere. I'm like, I'm always wanting to go on trips like me and Amy or me and the kids and us. I'm like ready to go.

I'm down for a good time. But she's always like, we got school, we got this, we got responsibilities. We can't go. We can't just pick up. There's dogs to coordinate. We've been going. We've been going. We have. I'm tired.

I was just telling you how tired I am from one day away on Sunday. We took her to the airport. She didn't get to check in. She didn't get to buy a ticket. She didn't get to board a plane. And she's like, hmm, I want to do a trip. No, you know what I got to do? I got to go see what the conveyor belts in the back of the house looked like where

your luggage goes through. That is crazy looking. It's like the biggest roller coaster you've ever seen. for your bags. No wonder your shit might get lost or damaged. Like no wonder. Yeah, we got to see the underbelly of the airport. It was pretty cool.

I've seen more kitchens and back of the house kind of stuff with him. Yep. Then I can count, but it's pretty wild. We go in the back. We go on a side door, brother. All right, I have another confession in kind of the same vein of that. Amy's embarrassing confession. That's the note.

I'm going to share this. That's the note. With you two. I'm anxious. I know nothing about this. No judgment. There will be judgment. No.

No, There won't. I have a feeling you've done something similar to this. So I get to go to... Now I'm roped in. Yeah. Now I'm in the scandal. It's not a scandal. It's just an embarrassing thing that only happened to me.

Here's what happened. I went to a store opening in Charlotte last Thursday. It's too late. I'm going to tell. I go to the store opening down in Charlotte with one of my girlfriends last Thursday. And it's for Love Shack Fancy. So I'm in this really pretty white lace dress and, we have a cocktail before we go to the event and then the event is in the store but there's no

food or anything like that so like I don't have that much of my belly but we leave and I before I get in my car I'm like I kind of have to go to the bathroom but there's nothing really around there's no bathroom in the store and I don't see one inside unless I were to go back into like restoration hardware and go upstairs like that felt like it was too much work at that point so I get my car I'm like, I'm just going to stop that first gas station. Well, I pull over to the gas station, and it's one of those old school, like, you can't go in gas stations. It's just like a hut in the middle. I'm like, well, I'm screwed because at this point, nothing is around here.

So I just like try to get my mind right. And I'm like, I'm just going to go down the road and find the first place I can pull over. And it's like 7 o'clock, 7.30 at this point. At night? At night, South Charlotte. So I'm just driving through the neighborhood. I get to where there's like a little strip of stores. The Panera that used to be there is not there anymore.

I'm like, I'm running out of options here. And it's really getting hard for me to hold it. So I pull over and what I think is like this little neighborhood with a couple of businesses and there's a wine shop and it's open. Like it looks like a grocery store, a tiny grocery store for just wine and snacks. And this lady pulls up to the left of me at the same time. I'm like, she's going to beat me to the door. Like I'm not going to be able to scurry.

At this point, I get out of the car and I just walk on the side of the building. and I had to pee down my legs on my shoes. It was the most horrible feeling on the planet. It's your fault. This only happened because I had your children. Oh. But I ruined some of my favorite shoes. It was so bad.

I had my phone out and I text my girlfriend's a picture of my feet. I'm like, guess what just happened to me? And they were like, oh, no, at least you didn't poop your pants. They lifted me back up, you know. And so I get back in my car and I tell. text Dale that I'm on my way home. And instead of just going home, I stopped by Taco Bell first because I was really hungry. I deserve this.

So I had a double-decker in a Mexican pizza in my dirty dress, and then I got home. I was trying to to sneak in the house without anybody giving me a hug or talking to me. And I get upstairs. The girls are going to brush their teeth. And Dale comes in and I'm in the shower. He's like, why are you in the shower? And I was like, I've peed my pants. And he's like, oh, man.

He just walks off. He's like, I don't really know what to do with that, but I'm not going to bring her down. She looks like she's feeling pretty flu about it. Oh, my gosh. I feel sorry that I wasn't there to save you. Nobody could have saved me. I couldn't even save me. There was no stopping it.

Yeah. But, you know, here's to 43. Man, well, you're tough. You're a tough girl, man. Hey, you brushed that shit off and then went to Taco Bell. I mean, at that point, I needed something to make me feel better, and a taco is going to do it. You were like, you know, that was terribly embarrassing. But tacos.

I was scared to look up. I'm on the side of that little wine building. I'm like, surely they have a video camera or something out here like on their parking lot. But if I looked up, then they had a picture of my face. So I'm like, don't look up. Yeah. It was so bad. The taco, I bet buying the tacos made you feel better.

It did. Taco Bell always makes you feel better. I get sad. I go on Amazon and purchase some $20 trinket. And I'm like, I feel better. You never peed yourself? Oh, hell yeah. I mean, you'd have it in the race car a couple of times, but...

I've never, I've never peed myself out of the race car. No, no. It's always happened inside the car. And it's probably, I've probably done that six times total. I will plug your ears if you're a lady. I was so, so the first time I had to pee in a car, it was at, um, it was so hot. It was at St. Louis. It was so hot.

We were chugging waters because we were terrified that we were going to burn up in the car, you know, just dehydrate. I drank way too much water. I get in the car, and it's like 10 laps into the race, and I got to pee, and we had a caution. And I was not like, oh, just pee in the seat. Yeah. Because the seats were aluminum, and the rumor, the thought was that it could get in the bottom of the seat and boil because the floorboard's a couple hundred degrees. It wouldn't just evaporate? It might boil and burn your ass.

There's been stories of guys having that issue If you don't have a hole in your seat for it to flow out of I'm not gonna take no chances And under the caution I did my uniform and pulled it out And peed into the rocker panel You did not Yes

You pulled it out Yes This is before in-car cameras That was not easy to do No I bet you're all hooked up You're like how do I And after that I just went in the seat after that one because I didn't I did get it back in my suit but I couldn't get I wasn't sure

I got it all zipped up oh Lord and I'm like you know what just gonna pee that's a little too risky yeah I'd rather get a butt blister yeah from hot pee there's been guys that have had blisters on their asses from the bolts in the bottom of the seat getting hot so there was one I know one person and I think it might have been Tony Stewart but I know one person that had a chunk of their ass get burnt out because a buttonhead bolt at the bottom of the seat was somehow really, really close to an exhaust pipe and the heat conducted through the bolt,

and they were literally right on top of it and ran for four hours, and it burnt a chunk out of their ass. This is a stupid question, obviously. Y'all don't have, like, a pad or, like, a lining in there? Things have improved dramatically, dramatically. Trematically? It seems like,

dramatically is how it starts. Things have improved quite a bit, but this is in the 90s and, you know, back when we weren't, everything was just, everything was just a bare minimum. But yeah, anyhow, I'm getting yourself. Speaking of bare minimum, you don't like the bare minimum in the bathroom. And you have proclaimed your heavy love, heavy love for dude wipes. I know. We're straight in the toilet today, but everything's in the place.

Everything is toys. I was thinking about this. I don't, I forget who I was talking to this about. Me. I know, but I put the idea down because I was talking to a friend of mine, and I was like, hey, I was like, this is another guy, right? And I'm like, you know what dude wipes are, right? And he's like, we have them.

We have another brand at my house, but I know what you're talking about. I was like, how long have those been around for you? For you? And he's like, a couple years. I'm like, yeah, right? Me too. A couple years. I'm like, where the hell's this been?

I don't know. We've had caught no wipes in the bathroom for a long time, but until like they were branded for you, you didn't use them. It's, you know, there's these, you know, there's toilets that wash your ass. And I think there was one at the damn Vegas hotel. You didn't even have to ask for the function. It happened whether you were coming for or not. We get there, check in.

I put my bags down. I sit down to pee and I'm like, I got up. I was like, I'm in this damn to-tow just wash my ass with me. I didn't push a button or nothing. At first I thought, surely he accidentally pushed the button. And then I used the toilet later too. I'm like, oh, no. Yeah, it don't even ask.

It just doesn't. And so, but that stuff's been around forever, you know. And just not, it's not, you know, it wasn't very common in American households for sure and still isn't. But the dude wipes. And I know they're a partner for some great people in NASCAR. And so, but they're kind of this taboo, you know, because it is, it is for the toilet. But my gosh. They've changed Elle's life.

It's funny because you can. can't use them in, you can't use them in Marine or a camper, a camper toilet, right? Because every, you have to have single plight, it's got to be that dissolving style of toilet paper. And I forgot about that one time. And I brought some dude wipes onto the bus and Kenny threw them something. Oh, he's like, oh, no, you're not. You're not ruined in this tank.

He's like, what the hell you think you're doing with these dude wipes in here? I was like, Kenny, I got to have them, man. They're amazing. He's like, put it in the trash. I can't imagine. I can't go back, right? I have used to me. I can't regular dry toilet paper, no way.

Let's play a game. Let's play a game. Which one are we going to play first? Let's play Build Your Perfect Vacation. Okay. All right, for this game, you guys are going on a trip, and we're going to build your perfect vacation. You have $15 to spend.

Each activity in this is separated by four categories, and each have their own price, and we'll read them as we go through the categories. We got to do math. Yeah, you do. So you guys are going to Italy. I don't know if you guys have ever been, but you're going to Italy. I have.

Dale has not. I've never been. Okay. So our first category is crew. So you're picking someone to go with. Or not, because $1, the $1 price here. We have $15. $15 is just the two of you.

I think me and Amy are going to do just the two of us. Are we doing this together? Are we spending this together? You're spending it together? Yes. Okay, yes, just two of us. You just wanted the two of us? Okay, let me read the options just in case for the fans.

$2 is stranger. $3 is your favorite band. $4 is Tom Hanks and $5 is Elvis. And you guys are choosing the $1 option. Yeah, I think that we're just going to go by ourselves. Elvis would be too much work. Well, $15. I wouldn't want to spend one-third of the budget on Elvis.

Yeah, but Elvis can be... He's the king, man. Going to Italy with Elvis. Elvis is high maintenance, I imagine, being around. Yeah, he's going to steal all your thunder. No, I'm just saying, I think he's, what's Elvis are we talking about here? 69 Elvis, maybe.

69 comeback special Elvis, maybe I do without all. Any Elvis you want. What do you think? 69 comeback special Elvis, we've got to do it. All right. All right. Okay, but now we're taking Elvis. Now you're taking Elvis?

All right, $5 on the 69 comeback special Elvis. All right. Well, here's the activity you guys are doing. The $1 option, you go to Milan to view fashion. $2. Vespator in Tuscany. $3 a tour historic Rome, $4 a gondola ride in Venice, and $5 you drive down the Amalfi Coast. You want to do the fashion?

Save a little money. No. I thought you'd like fashion. I do like fashion. Well, we'd be doing if we spend, what about the Vespa tour with Elvis? We got in with us now at this point. Now I'm just trying to imagine the three of us. That's what you have to do.

along. You have to account for him. Let's do the Vesvator. Vesvator. All right. Elvis and you guys are doing a Vespator. Do we all get to wear black leather suits? You can wear whatever you want.

I feel like we all need to look like we're in the TCV gang. You know what I mean? I agree. Now you're going to go for your meal and drink. So your $1 is pizza and gelato in Naples. $2 is espresso and pastry at a Roman bar. $3 is pasta making, class in Rome and $4

wine tour in Sicily, $5 cooking class in Tuscany. I'll let you pick you. I don't think I like pizza and gelato would be. Awesome. One dollar. One dollar. That's easy. I would choose that. I like the wine part, but I don't want to take a tour. I just want to have a couple glasses. So what we got left over here? I agree at eight bucks.

So now you have, you're at eight bucks. So now you guys have, you know, pretty good rain here. Yeah. You guys are doing well. You only got one more category, so, I mean, the wild card is one $1 food poisoning. $2, you lose your phone.

$3 you run into the worst person you know. $4 you win unlimited supply of alcohol, and $5 you win a boat trip on Lake Cuomo. We can afford the boat trip. Yeah, we're going on boating. All right, there you go. All right, we got 69 comeback special Elvis. We're all going on a Vespa tour dressed in our black leather suits.

Eating pizza and gelato in Naples. And then we're going on a boat trip on Lake Como. This is an awesome trip. Sounds like an epic day. You got $2 left over. To tip Elvis for his fun time Game number two is red flag beige flag green flag In this game

Tim's is going to give us different scenarios And we'll have to decide which flag Best fits each What's a beige flag for? Like a yellow flag? It's like kind of meh Yeah it's like meh No real opinion Not a big deal, not a deal breaker

You ready? I'm ready Okay the first scenario these are a lot of like modern dating scenarios too. So just put that in mind. So we're going to be awesome. So you guys are good. You're more the advice. You're giving me advice, I guess. Okay. They don't believe in celebrating anniversaries. Red flag, beige flag, green flag. Oh, the person doesn't believe in celebrating anniversaries? Like any anniversary? Any anniversary. I say that's a red flag. Red flag. Yeah. So here's the thing. Like you don't have to celebrate every little anniversary.

I know like back in the day, oh, we just started dating a week ago. Like, that's ridiculous. But if you can't celebrate your wedding anniversary, then there's something wrong with the partnership. I feel like you should want to make sure you celebrate each other on that day and your commitment to each other. Yeah. I don't know. I agree.

Red flag. Red flag. Yeah. They text good morning and good night every single day. I think that's a green flag. Yeah, a green flag or beige. Like it's not a deal breaker, but I actually kind of like it. Yeah.

And you just don't know when your last moment is. So if you don't take the opportunity, You might regret that. That's a good point. Good point. They're best friends with their ex. No, absolutely red flag. Red flag.

What if it was 10, 12 years ago? No. Red flag. They can't be best friends. No. Get out of here. Yeah. Just same way.

They say they will text you when they get home, but never do. That's a red flag. Oh, this has happened to one, this is a one-time thing. I think it's like every time you hang out and they say, I'll text you when I get home and they never do. I just text in the morning. I'd say, hey, stop. That's a piss to me off last. So, Amy, I did that to Amy all the time.

And she'd go, I did things like, I'd say, I'm going to do this and not do it. I'd say I'd text her when I'd land. I'd text her when I'd, you know, do things. It's more like with the plane. She's like, he would just get busy. Like, if he was flying somewhere and I wasn't along, it's because he was doing an appearance or something. So he'd land and, like, get busy. And it wasn't like he was doing anything wrong.

But I just wanted to make sure he was safe. Her advice was like, don't tell me you're going to do it if you're not going to do it. Just let me be able to track you so at least I can tell you're there. You know what I mean? She'd rather me not, if I'm not going to say, she'd rather me not tell her I'm going to say. Yeah. Because that's a disappointment. Yeah.

I get that. Don't set me up for that. So it's not that you have to text. So if there's this person and you're like feeling this obligation to tell them when you get home, maybe they don't really care as long as you don't promise to do it, right? Yeah. It's like you're letting them down. It's a point.

So don't even tell them you're going to do it. Just going home. We'll do red red red flag See you later Irish goodbye Just get out of here The next one They always quote movies and TV shows

I love that I mean if it's the only thing you're doing It's annoying It's annoying It's annoying I think it's annoying I got buddies that Quote these same

movies over and over Like anytime there's like a hit movie Like stepbrothers or Did we just become best friends That kind of thing? I love that The same I get tired of it.

Because I've watched the movie, but I don't know none of the quotes. And they'll do, like, I know that one, but they'll do another one from somewhere in the movie and they'll look at me like,

and I'm like, they got deep cuts, they've watched deleted scenes and stuff like that. I don't know that I mean. I got buddies to do that. Well, I do that. I have memorized movies

that I like like that where I don't memorize songs as much. You know what I mean? Like, everybody has their thing. I can, I can do that with movies pretty well. That's a green flag for you.

Like all the way back to the goonies, like old movies. Okay. Yeah. Just something that people get fixated on, I guess. I can't pull a quote like I had a thin air that's from a movie even though it might have seen it 20 times. I know, but you could pull a stat from a race that came from 1975. Yes. So like there's certain things you will latch on to.

That's true. That's true. When people say no offense and then say the most offensive thing. Yeah, rude. Red flag. Red flag. It depends on where we are in the relationship. When's the good time?

Yeah, what's the threshold, Ralph? I think you get to, I mean, where me and you are, you'll ask me, you know, I've got two dresses. Do you like this dress? Do you like that dress? Yeah, so here's the thing about that. And I'm like, well, am I supposed to tell you the truth? Here's the thing.

I have asked for your opinion, so I do want it. But I also own both. of these pieces of clothing. So don't love one and then on the other one because that other one's going to have to be worn at some point. I just mean like for this event, for this day, that's what he does.

He's like, oh, that one, ooh. He's like overselling me on the one he likes because he's going to poo-poo on the other one. Just tell me which one you like. No, but I'll say, you'll go, why don't you like this one? What is it about this one? I'm like, oh.

Well, if I ask you, then you get to tell me. Okay. There you go. There's the answer. They leave voice memos instead of texting. I like that. Yeah, it depends on the... I like it.

On the person, I guess. Tim Dugger does that with us all the time. And that's usually pretty funny. Like, he's telling us jokes or telling us a story that it's too long to type it out. I like it because I think there's far too many times where I've gotten myself into trouble or I've misunderstood the other person not understanding the tone and text. So sending a... A voice memo helps you understand inflection and all that.

And I think it's like the future of, like phone, like our... It's more personal. Yeah, phone calls, you know, we had pagers, then we went to the cell phone, and now we're doing FaceTime, and, you know, soon one day all calls will be video calls and all text messages will be audio. This one, I hate this one. They exclusively refer to you by a nickname you didn't choose instead of your real. name. Oh. I don't like that either.

Like Tampa Tim's? Like similar. Like college friends would call me Tim's but my name's Alex. So if I'm dating you, I kind of want you to call me Alex, not Tim's, I'm not your bro. You don't like being called what your friends call you. Not my girlfriend, no. Right. Yeah, I don't want that. I want you to call me Alex. She can't call you by the nickname your buddies use. She needs to take you more seriously than that. Yes. Yeah, I agree with that. I hate that. It's a red flag for me. Yeah.

Like I'm not going to call Dale Junebug. No. No. That's not second. see. No. That'd be weird. Yeah. She's got a pit. Amy's, what Amy did is call me Ralph.

No one calls me Ralph. The only reason I did that, to be fair, is because he didn't hear me say Dale Jr. Like, he can tune that out, especially back when we first started dating. He was still racing and constantly being yelled at. You know what I mean? Dale, Dale, yeah. So Ralph is what started because I got his attention. The first time I said that, he was like, what?

I know, but that's fun for me, too. I like that. And so that, I think if you, yeah, if you're picking, if you're thinking you're wanting to go nickname, you have to have something that's all yours. Yeah. Like it's something special. Everyone's calling you one thing or two things, but they call you this one thing. It's like, that's our thing. Yeah.

That's a red flag. I got two more for you. Okay. They constantly talk about what they want to do, but never actually do it. Ooh, that's a red flag. Like no follow-through? Bage. You think it's beige?

Yeah. It's circumstantial, I guess. I'd be hypocritical to. to call it a red flag because I do it. I think more if it's pipe dream and stuff like that. Like I want to go on this trip but never do it. That's a beige flag. Yeah, that doesn't matter.

If it's something that you really should be doing, it's like, you know, if something's a problem and you say that, that is a red flag for me. Yes. Yeah. So if somebody's like, I shouldn't eat that or I shouldn't drink this much or, you know, and they just keep on. Do something about it.

Yeah. Yeah, they don't do something about it. Yeah. The last one here, and probably think more of this time, and they don't have any social media accounts. Whoa. I don't mind. I don't mind that.

I find that to be very fascinating. I wish it's like, you know, it's like there are no putting a genie back in the bottle, but I do wonder what it would be like if that didn't exist. And not be so tethered to your phone. Yes, gosh, I hate how addicted to it I am. I think in the current generation, it's seen as a red flag because it's been so,

their whole life has been social media. that it's like, what are you afraid of? Like, what are you hiding that you're afraid of people know where you're at? Oh, no. It's almost seemed like your doomsday prepper of some sort. You don't want the government to know where you are. I don't think that. I got a friend like that.

I don't think that when someone doesn't have social media, I tend to assume they're just probably my age or older, and they just never did adapt to it. Now, if it was a 25-year-old individual that didn't have social media, I'd certainly wonder why. I'd wonder why, but if their choice was just to, like, be free from the judgment and from the... Because there's a lot going on there and not wanting that stress. That person would seem like a very intelligent individual to me.

Interesting. Like, if you can have that much self-control and you don't need it and you don't need the attention or to be in the fray, you're like, you're a step ahead. Yeah, I mean, I'd be envious of that much willpower. Well, that was red flag, beige flag, green flag. Pretty fun. It was fun. Yeah.

You want to do some Ask Amy? Let's do it. Hi, guys. We're here for another episode of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studio. And want to remind you if you haven't already to hit the subscribe button. Also, don't forget to check out our merch. Dale's wearing one of our shirts today for Bless Your Heart.

It's shop.dirtymomomedia.com. And I think we're ready for Ask Amy. So what questions do you have? We do. Our first question is from Joey. And he wants to know what item do you think will be obsolete in 20 years. Ooh. It's a tough one.

What item? Dale seems to think regular toilet paper will be obsolete. Yeah. Regular toilet paper. I was girls still want some of that. I think, yeah, I think regular toilet paper will be obsolete and we'll all have like dude wipes or some sort of a moist towelet sort of system or, you know. Yeah.

It's your refill. But you have to. Yeah. I don't know otherwise. That stuff's so hard to predict, you know. I can't even imagine what's coming that I don't. I don't my brain doesn't work like that. I'm like content.

Yeah. What was obsolete 20 years ago that we, that was so common? I don't know. Some would say cash is kind of becoming obsolete. Well, coins, yeah, we don't really use all right. I'm a little nervous about that. Cash or coins.

You can't, you can't even go to the Panther Stadium anymore for any game and use cash. It has to be all card. Oh, really? Yeah. It's a cashless stadium now. Yeah, I mean, I don't, I get, I get that. Like, I, I don't,

I'm not a, I don't carry, carry cash. So when we go somewhere and you need it. Cash, yeah, I don't usually have it. We're in a pickle. Yeah, over the chat, we'll come up with some suggestions here. What's that? I hope the chat will come up with some suggestions too. I want to say like, for some reason I feel like, like,

like we were talking about this just a second ago, but like phone calls and text messages and all that stuff, I think will change the way we communicate. with each other. Yeah. It will be more video and audio and less typing and, you know, texting and all of that stuff. You think it'll go back to more face-to-face, or at least three phones? No, I think it'll just be a video message.

Every phone call will be a video. Okay. Every text message will be an audio message. Versus typing. Okay. I get that. Somebody put telephone booths, which is a great example. They're taking those out now.

Oh, right. That's true. Yeah. cassette tapes. Pay phones, cell phone. CERs. Yeah, all that. Well, everything's digital now, so I mean, what's not, what's still not digital?

What isn't digital today or what isn't it downloadable? Yep, developing film, like you don't really do that like you used to. I don't know. Retail stores, too, is another one because of Amazon. You know what I think? Laptops. Laptops. Where are we going with a laptop?

I believe that everything, I believe laptops will go by the wayside, and it'll be like many iPads and phones. Everything will be on like a tablet tablet only. And we'll all carry these around and plug them in to everything we need to, you know, we need to do. Like all that shit over there, you guys are running that switchboard and everything. You're walking here with a tablet. Plug it in, boom.

It's all. Simplified. So keyboards basically, too. Keyboards are gone. Keyboards, yeah. Keyboards, mouse. It'll just be a flat piece of glass that you're typing on.

Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I'm just thinking all that shit is probably going to. Oh, like an iPad. Yeah. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Next question from Josh.

What's a purchase you've made recently that you immediately regretted? Or you do it whatever. Oh, I've had some. I'm trying to think. I bought I with some cotton candy the other day and I regretted it as soon as I walked out of the store. And it's in the refrigerator in the garage. I still haven't let her have it. Yeah.

In the store, I don't want to have the fight. So I just say, okay. And then I hide it when I get home. I haven't bought anything major that I regret. Yeah. Have you? No? I mean, I haven't really had a big, big purchase here in a while, but, oh, man.

These are some stumpy questions today. I just, there's a couple, I bought this drink, about this energy drink that I didn't like. A buddy of mine told me about it. He's like, hey, man, you should try this. And I bought it. And I'm like, I got a case because I was like, oh, he had to order it. So he ordered a case. My guy, he likes it.

I'm sure it's great. I drank one of them and I was like Damn I got all this crap It's miserable I can't drink this Yeah so That's a good one You over bought it Yeah because you get excited

And you're like yeah I want to try this It's gonna be awesome and it came and I drank one And I was like yeah I can't drink no more of this This is terrible You ever buy like I bought sunglasses recently And they looked horrible on me Oh really? There's no there's no coming back No that's one of those things I don't order

Like I have to try them on Yeah the clothes and shoes online is the worst It's really hard Yeah. It's a lottery. Yes. I don't love sending things back either. And it's not because I don't, the process of putting it back in the mail is just something

that I have a hard time getting to. Like I have a pile of stuff that I need to mail out. Not necessarily returns, but like me going to the post office is just like a pan of it. You never know what box to put it in if you don't have the box. I know. It's very socially anxiety comes out there. Sarah wants to know what's the, what's been the, what's been the, the most unexpected part of working with each other on Bless Your Heart.

The unexpected part? Yes. Honestly, I feel like it's kind of brought us closer together. I mean, I thought we were as close as we'd possibly be, but we're having fun getting to play like this with one another. We've worked together before on little projects here and there, but nothing quite like this. So, I mean, for me, that's probably it.

Yeah. I don't know that anything's unexpected, but I am enjoying. watching Amy kind of venture through this, you know, process of putting herself out there and being a bit more of a public figure and the response to that and how everybody's been great. Everybody seems to enjoy the show. And hearing a lot of, you know, comments where people are like, you know, all of our Dell Jr. Download listeners that have been diehard NASCAR and race fans and listen to that content are, you know, telling us, I'm sitting down with my wife and she's watching this with me and now we're doing this

together and so it's also bringing other people together that's been a big surprise seeing a bunch of comments like that but um we did run into a lady in the airport yesterday that said that her husband she said she saw him and she texted her husband and he said you're you should probably see if his wife is there and of course i was standing on the other side of the stage and so she came up and talked to me but he told her that that's right oh that's interesting yeah so that right there is probably my favorite part is we went we got asked to go judge this burger contest at the airport yesterday and Amy was a judge. Amy had a microphone. Amy was walking around on the stage. Amy was nervous. Talking. You know, there was an emcee and

Amy was looking around and talking about what she was seeing. And her, she would just never have done any of that before. She didn't want nothing to do with none of that. But she's kind of like almost not got a choice in the matter if you're going to kind of do this show and kind of we're going to do this together and kind of put ourselves out there when she she's going to find herself in more situations like that and it's just fun for me to watch her navigate that and um i have gotten far more comfortable being in front of a camera and that kind of thing where i would have totally locked up if you had to ask me to do this like five years ago yeah i literally would have gone mute yeah it just was not possible i'm not comfortable when we first met she wouldn't even give me a picture of

herself to have. No, I didn't have selfies and no photos I didn't have a picture of her on my phone and like I'm like, can I please just have a picture of you? Imagine dating this girl. I lived in Florida also. I wasn't around. Imagine dating her and not being able to like

see her. Can't show any of your friends. I didn't have social media. I was one of those people. I didn't have a Facebook page or my space page. Yeah. There you are. You know, and nothing. Nope. Wow. For weeks and weeks. He had to. He had to See me, see me.

And so, yeah, eventually she sent me this one photo, and I had one singular photo of her to look at for like months. And then finally we took a selfie together. And then I've still got those. I still got that picture, the very first picture we took together. Yeah. And so, yeah, I say all that because she's very, like, not comfortable in front of a camera.

So it's been fun watching her adjust and improve or whatever you want to call it. Yeah. Would you say that's one of the things you've learned the most about yourself, Amy, that you've become more comfortable, I guess, in front of the people? Probably, yeah. I think doing ads with the agency that I work with a little bit has kind of given me a little bit of shift in that direction. And being around Dale for so long and doing certain things with him where they're pre-taped that, like any of those homins deals we did, that stuff helped me as well.

But it's just not something I seek. I don't need it, but it's fun to do because it does help me kind of, peel back a layer or something. I don't know how you would really describe it. Yeah, I get that. Our next question's from Brianna, and she says, Happy Birthday, Ila, and wants to know if you plan on putting the girls in any sports, like t-ball, volleyball,

basketball, or even dance. They're in dance. Thank you for the birthday wishes for her, by the way. She's in dance. We did gymnastics with her last year, and she was so long and gangly. I don't think she was really ready, but she's much stronger now.

We've tried to talk her into soccer, and she's not interested in that. Nicole isn't either. Like, if they wanted to play soccer or play us for it, we would be all for that. I feel like if they had a little friend that did it, they would sign up. Whether they loved it or not, they would at least try it. But us just blankly asking them, no. Yeah. Not interested.

Yeah. I've even tried to ask Ila about doing taekwondo or something like that. Nicole is really physical, tough, gritty. She's four. And if anybody's going to do any kind of sports, it'll probably be her. Yeah. I think that she would do better with the team aspect of it, too. Yeah.

And maybe she just needs that to harness herself. I'm hoping that she might get into some soccer, some kind of organized sports, t-ball, whatever, softball. I'd love to be a girl dad taking her to games and stuff like that. That'd be awesome. It would be. I'm happy and proud of them and dance and all that stuff, But it's not my cup of tea, obviously.

No. It's something I'm going to go sit really, truly get into like Amy might. They sit and kick the soccer ball, you know, outside here and there. But, you know, it doesn't last very long. Yeah. Would you guys ever coach one of their sports or? No, probably would. Yeah, you would.

I'd coach soccer, I guess. I'd be like the snack mom. Yeah, that's very important. Orange slices. I mean, it's not real coaching. It's just, I mean, I don't want to insult all the coaches out there. But, like, if you're, you know, we're talking six to 10-year-old. You're just trying to organize chaos.

Exactly. Youth coaching is like anyone can do that. Yeah, I'd do that. Yeah. I'd be part of that. Like coaching T-ball, I feel like it. I'd probably not like it. For the other parents, it'd be in my...

I guess the other parents are pretty aggressive, so I might not like it as much as I think. I don't know. It's always good. The hard coach is when I was real, real young, was like, what are we doing? We're at 5 and 6. Let's not take this so seriously.

Settle now. Exactly. Next question is from Katie. She wants to know which home decor trend do you think is tacky or no longer in style? Hmm. Tacky. I don't know if it's tack. Shag carpet?

No, I don't think that's tacky. No, not tacky? If it's just like, well, wall-to-wall carpet is not really something people do too much anymore. What about carpet on the wall? Carpet on the wall? Yeah. They have some of that at the roller skate rink in Canapolis. It's original.

Yeah, that's original. It's awesome. I think that kind of place, you know. need that. Yeah. Well, now, like, the nostalgia, it's, like, reached the point where it's, that's so cool that that's still up on the wall and, like, that burnt orange shag carpet. But anything modern, I don't know.

I'm kind of over the farmhouse thing. I feel like, unless you are on a farm, we don't need to look like we have a farmhouse. I feel like all decor and design needs to be appropriate for where you are. I don't know. Dale wants to do all the wacky things all the time. I also feel like just a black and white, like everything's neutral, is so boring. Like, if you, I'm very into the, oh, there's a phrase for it. Basically, if you just buy it and it makes you happy, put it in your house.

Because the more of, you're kind of going to be attracted to the same style of things generally. And once you put it all together, it's just more of an interesting space. I feel like that's Dale's design style too. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, buy it, you like it. That's really... Buy it. You like it. Yeah.

Put it in your house. Your house. What about like land... At the outdoor landscaping? Anything that like you were like, oh, like a big hedge in the front of the yard used to be like a big thing or on the side that you block the fences, anything like that's kind of style. I don't care. No. No, as long as it's tidy, I don't care.

Yeah. Makes sense. I don't really care. I just get annoyed when the lights are not working or you got a bulb out or, you know, like a festoon light or something in the strings is not working. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like it when like... There's just stuff all over the place.

Yeah. Yeah, I agree with that. Our last question is from David, and he wants to know, Amy, what was your family's reaction when they first met Dale? Oh, that's a good question. Hadn't been asked, I hadn't heard this.

They were like, damn. They were very excited to meet him. They were like, Amy, don't screw this one up. No, that's not how that happened. Your dad probably was. he's probably like, hey, he's cool. No, you don't want to know what my dad said was, does he know what he has? I'm like, I don't know, dad, we'll see.

They were excited to meet him. They had never been around a celebrity before, and honestly, they received him just like I did. I don't really find the celebrity thing to be a thing that intimidates me. And I think Dale can attest to that. Like, we've gone plenty of places. I've gotten to tag along with him, and I don't know. unless it's Dolly Parton, I'm probably going to just walk up and treat you like a normal person. You know what I mean?

And so they kind of, you know, received him like, I don't know, just as a new member of the family, to be honest. They love him. And it wasn't very, like, awkward. I was more nervous about it than I probably should have been. But it was fine. Do you even remember meeting them for the first time? I think out at the farm. Yeah.

We went out to their family. farm and built a bonfire and Snyder went with us he and his dad or Amy's dad and me ran for some firewood later in that afternoon or that evening and I just tried to like um show them that like I wasn't afraid to you know grab some firewood off the pile

or help stoke the fire keep it going or fill up the cooler or like I wasn't going to come in there and be like you know I thought they would probably assume that I was somebody that was used to having everybody do everything for me and so I made it a real point to like show them that I could like do things

to kind of help this night happen and help things happen and go he just tried to be a normal person yeah I went to the cooler hey anybody want a beer you you need a beer which was a bit out of character for me because I'm pretty shy

yeah yeah So I tried really hard to, like, be normal and leave a good impression. Yeah. Yeah. It was so long ago. It's hard to remember, to be honest. I remember that. But they were excited to meet him.

They were not, like, worried or standoffish at all. No. I was thrilled because I was like, these people drink beer like I do and like to stand around a fire and play music. And this is, like, the best, this is like what I'd love. This is what I'd want to be doing tonight anyways, right? Yeah. And here, and I'm doing it. with them. So it was fun.

When you fit in nice, that's best. Yeah, I fit in there. When you're similar, it's great. It's easy. Yep. Yeah. Well, that's a good way to stop Ask Amy for today. All right.
