Hi, guys. We're back for another episode of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I are still at the beach, so we're coming to you remotely. But we've got a fun show today. Poop in the pool, no gas, so we have cold water. That's a big one for Dale. We're going to talk about the fourth. Let's get started. The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.

Oh, yeah, this is what it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out. Open a bunch of jars. You've got big strong hands. Are you suffering? from Highcraft. I'm working. Working that mouth.

Man, just came straight out of the gate. Poop in the pool. Pooing the pool is never a good idea, but we've had to deal with some pooping pool the last week. We've had a repeat offender with our field in our pool. And the first time it happened, Dale wasn't here, but the pool guy had just left. And so I had to call him back and have him shock the pool.

I don't know if you've ever had to deal with that. No. So you can't get it. in the pool. If someone poops in the pool, it's like code red, get out. And when you have little kids, sometimes they just don't want to stop playing and they just do it when they do it, you know. You know, they do that sometimes in the bathtub too and they're really little. So we had plenty of experience learning how to deal with it then. But yeah, so pool guy comes back, shocks the pool. The kids get out. We find something else to do. 72 hours later, we wait a little

extra just in case. What? Yeah. You were going for the whole race weekend. You've waited 72 hours? Yeah. It happened to what, Thursday afternoon? Yeah.

We didn't get back until you guys got back on Monday? Man, that's a long time. Sunday, because it was Saturday night race. So it was Monday or Sunday that we get back in the pool. And we're not in there. An hour happens again. So Dale, Dale gets on his phone.

We get out of the phone. Dale gets on his phone immediately starts to spiral. He's going. Googling all the things you need to do to shock the pool so that we don't have to call, shamelessly call our pool guy back out to do this again. But also it's Sunday, and they're probably not open anyway. So Dale gets some shock. Wait, you're going in fast forward.

Oh. I mean, for me, that's what it looked like. Yeah. Well, it was an experience going to the store to get this shock. But the... So we have this small pool. It's relatively small. Very basic, square, six foot deep at the most.

It's perfect. Back in North Carolina, the pool that I built years ago is much more ridiculous. But this pool is really simple and great just for kind of cooling off and kids love it. And I got an umbrella that I put in the ground that, you know, you can extend almost overhouse. half of the pool. It's that small, right? So it's a small pool. So I stuck an umbrella in the ground and now you can kind of wind an umbrella out over the pool. A little mechanical. So these things awesome. And yes, to Amy's point, like when you have a toddler like a one or a two-year-old and you want them to swim or play in a pool, you have to watch their bottom because they'll

they poop in that diaper, you know, consistently. Yeah, usually, too, you have like a pullup on them, but she's been well out of that for a long time. Sure, yeah. So, I mean, the poop in the pool is not a new thing. And we are hyper aware, but, you know, as they get a little older, you kind of think that that's probably out of their system. But sometimes, like Amy said, they want to play so bad.

They don't want to miss anything. They don't want to stop doing what they're doing. And, yeah, it kind of happened. But the problem was it happened back to back in like a matter of a couple days. And we're like, all, you're not getting a lesson. So to Amy's point, we didn't want to call the guy and say, hey, yeah, you came out here and shocked the pool two days ago. Now we got to do it again. He's going to be like, look, man, just don't let the kid in the pool.

And so we didn't call him. And I go into Google mode. And I'm going to figure this out. So I learned how to, obviously, I learned how to the first, read the chemicals. So do the little chemical test that you have where you put the drops in and all that. I mean, it's not hard. I didn't know how hard it was. It's not that big of a deal. You get a little pool water. You put five drops in for the chlorine and for the pH and you read it. So that was kind of nice to learn that. I didn't know how much our pool, I didn't know how many

gallons our pool had in it water-wise, so you're going to need to know that to be able to go get the shock and know how much shock to put in it. I wanted to put enough shock in it to fix the problem, but not so much shock that we couldn't swim in it for 72 hours. We had conflicting reports. So we called this lady that cleaned our pool in the past, and she's like, it's not a big deal. You guys are reacting.

Gosh, this is hilarious to me. I'm a pool expert, and you guys are just going crazy. And then I went, like, to Amy's point, I drove over to this pool supply store, and I go in, and I'm like, hey, here's a picture of my pool. I don't know how many gallons of water it is, but here's a picture of it.

You might look at that pool as a pool expert and go, oh, that's 15,000 gallons of water. I don't know. And he's like, well, I think you need to put six pounds of shock in it. I'm talking to this guy, and he reminds me of one of those army vets where everything is like, by the book, super serious. He's like, yep, you're going to need.

to put at least six in there just to be safe. You're going to have to stay out of this thing because there's 72 hours. And I was like, oh, really? I was like, our friend told us that they shocked the pool and they were back in there in 24 hours. Well, they're lucky they didn't have to go to the hospital. I mean, you're lucky. Yeah, somebody hasn't had to be carry. I was like, all right, all right.

I got the six pounds he wants me to buy. Buy the six pounds. We come back home. we're going to put this stuff in there. We called our friend back. Hey, we got six pounds of this stuff. She's like, oh, you only need to put two in there. You only need to.

Also, our friends that are here with us have a pool at their house. It's about the same size. Just a little bit bigger. It's deeper. And she's like, you know, we do this regularly just to make sure that the pool is maintained. You're supposed to shock the pool. You do not need six bags. We won't be able to get back in there for a whole week.

It'll take that one for it to burn off. You're supposed to shock the pool regularly every, a couple weeks or so, that's what they say. What Google says. But Google said it's a pound for every 10,000 gallons, and we're not 20,000 gallons. So putting two pounds in there was plenty. Turns the water gray.

You got to the guy, again, going back to our military vet, he's like, hey, man, put this stuff, put this stuff in a five-gallon bucket of water and mix it up first and then add it to the pool. And he's like, don't put it in the bucket before the water because it'll explode. He's like it's an uncontrolled substance or somebody. He's like, if you put it in there and then put the water in the bucket, it could have a problem. So I'm like, holy shit.

Like it'll phone up? No, it'll have a, it'll, I don't know, it'll do something. Combust in your face? Combust, I don't know. Yeah. Dangerous. Anyways, it's these little granules, granules, and they go down in the water and you let it kind of hang out. And then we scrub the walls with this little scrubber.

And then we got to vacuum in a day later and got to, I mean, the pool never been cleaner right down. I mean, the pool is immaculate. Like, this is the cleanest water you ever seen. I did some tests. We're about, we're a little bit over three. We're not too. The chlorine level is still very high. We're not dangerous.

You can swim in it, but it's a little higher, normal. Yeah. I've swam in pools. I've smelled the chlorine more strongly, so I'm not too worried about it. We swam in it yesterday, and everybody's been fine. Nobody's had to get rushed to the hospital yet. But that was the poop in the pool. So, you know, in the end, it's another situation, Amy, where you're parenting or being adult

or whatever you want to call it, forces you into these situations where you are going to learn to do things. Like, instead of, you know, letting the pool guy come over and worry about the chemicals, you know, and you just not ever knowing nothing about it, you're going to have these moments in life where you're like, have to kick into action

and figure it out for yourself. And I kind of love those moments where I kind of needed to know how to do this anyways, you know, for my own, you know, sanity. And it wasn't as hard. It's never as hard as you think it's going to be to, like, just check chlorine level in a pool. Checking the chlorine and teaching yourself how to shock.

It's the easy part. Trying to figure out how to teach the kid to never do that again. That is the hard part. That is the part. That's still a challenge. It's still sitting in the back of my mind. Every time she gets in the pool, I'm going to be like, do we need to get out? Do we need to get out?

Do we need to take a break? I wanted her to understand that the pool was broke. right she she looks back and goes what it's a big deal get it out and we're going to go no you know know i don't know you know she doesn't realize that the pool is broken well they don't know what germs are either when they're little like trying to explain germs to kids is just about impossible because they can't see it so yeah just one of those things you feel like you're just talking in circles all the time yeah yeah one of the things though that i didn't that i don't understand that you keep you mentioned from time to time and i've not

I'm not picking up on this. It's embarrassing her. So like if we're standing there by the pool and I'm like, Nicole, you know, you pooped in the pool. You can't do that. You got to knock. You got to get out. You know, and the other kids around, you're like, Dale, you're embarrassing her. Well, I just can see her shut down.

Like, she's not even hearing what you say anymore. If you've lost. I'm not. Yeah, I wish I could pick up on that because I definitely don't want to embarrass her. and I should know that I should probably understand the simple act of calling her out in front of everybody's absolutely going to do it. Well, she's like you. I know, but I also feel like she's four and doesn't have that, you know, that personality trait yet to get ashamed. Yeah, I think they all have that.

If she felt that way, she wouldn't do that in front of her friends, right? She wouldn't have that accident happen in front of her friends who she wants to impress or hang out. logic would say, but she's got no frontal lobe yet. So she's just living by the cedar of her pants. No frontal lobe. Oh, man. Yeah. The frontal lobe doesn't develop fully until you're like in your early 20s.

That rational thinking thing. Yeah. That explains a lot. Yeah. Well, we also came here. This is a dad to fail. We also came here. So we have a big gas tank in the ground.

and it needs to have gas in it to have hot water. We have three hot water heaters. Down here in the elements of the beach, it can corrode everything, anything, almost any metal. And there was a tiny, tiny little pinhole leak in one of the lines that they discovered and fixed it immediately. But we came back, I didn't know that you're supposed to call them

when it gets low. Like I thought they just routine. came by here and filled it up, you know, and checked it or kind of, you know, you pay them a service and just like an exterminator or anything else, they would come by and do the job every couple of weeks or whatever, right? And they, and that's not the case. You've got to call them when it gets to a certain percentage or, you know, people will fill their tanks if it gets below 40, 30, 20, whatever, right? And they're going to, it's going to be a few days before they can come out here. You can pay a little extra money to expedite it.

or it runs out. And I didn't know that. So we got here, we had zero gas. And to Amy's point, we did have that leak. And I'm like, we got another leak or something? What the fuck? You know, I got a, got a, what is going on? You know, why did they not fill it up?

They had, I didn't know that they weren't coming. I thought that they were coming and it's leaked out somewhere somehow. And so I was in a bit of. So yet again, he's spiraling. Panic. I was in a house fire when I was little and any kind of danger around those type of things really gets me up.

Yeah, and it's a... But meanwhile, there's no smell of gas anywhere. There's no alarming smell like there's gas leaking. And so I figured out that you got to call them when it gets low. So I call them, we get them to come out here to service it and we even pay a little extra money to have it expedited because we're here for a little bit, a very brief time, and we need the hot water.

And so we have to take cold showers. And I'm one of those people where, like, cold shower is tough to take. Amy hops right in there. Yeah. I'm mentally tough. I'm mentally tougher than you. Mentally tough. I got in the shower.

I took a deep breath, and I let it out when I got in the cold water, and I embraced it. This one jumps around like he's a piece of popcorn. on fire. Like literally wriggling, jumping, like arching his back. I mean, I laugh my ass off at him just because the visual was so good. I'm like, what in the world, dude? Take him. Calm your mind. Like, calm down. He's like, I can't do it. I am sensitive physically to temperature.

And I would rather be it uncomfortably warm than, like, I would rather be in a room. Like, I love, I'm not crazy people. I like 68 to 72 degrees. That's like the perfect temperature range, right? I mean, everybody can live in that little, everybody would have their thermostats there. But if I was to go into a room that was 64 or 63, I'd rather be in a room that was 76, 78. He's like Goli Lox.

He likes it just right. So at home, we have the things that were our shower, like he's got a setting. I have a setting, but if I'm in the shower and he wants to help in and not change it. Mine's hotter. And he'll get in there. Same thing. Arch is back and like, ah,

it's burning me. Like, it's just like two degrees different. Dude, Amy's temperature that she thinks is comfortable is not comfortable to me. So I can do mega hot and mega cold and this little sweet baby can't. Like he's got to be right in the middle, perfect temp or he's uncomfortable.

Not to the point of like grin and bear it. It's, he's making a scene. Her hot, her, way she can take a shower in that hot-ass water, it stings. I mean, it's hot. So everybody has a different, like, tolerance, right? And apparently my tolerance isn't as high as Amy's or what I prefer. What she prefers is higher than me, which is, I think, quite interesting. Her hot, you know, is, her comfort level

in a hot shower is too hot for me. I get in there and I'm like, that's uncomfortable. It's hot. I don't, like I could stand here and take this, you know, five-minute shower and still that would be too hot after a few minutes. You know, it's not something I could get used to. We can't do it in the cold either. No, no. But anyhow, we had to take cold showers. We got it done. That's at the end of that story, though.

No, I know. I'm good. We had issues with the tank still. I know. The guy comes out here. The tank was completely empty. They had to require, since it was completely empty, they have to have a sign-off from someone that's 18 years or older to rest. release the tank and do a leak check.

Usually they don't want it to get below like 30 or 40. And then they won't fill it over 80. Like there's a sweet little window of safety. I was in here working in the office. Amy was in the house doing something busy. And we get done with what we're doing, go down there. And they have came and left. The tank is now 80%.

And there's a little note on the front door. But nobody heard the person knock on the door. And so I go down to the tank. and it's got a padlock on it and it's closed. They have cranked the valve closed and padlocked it, so you can't open it. Now we have gas in a tank, but no gas still in the house.

And I'm like, and I start to think, why do they padlock this? There must be a problem. There must be an issue. There must be a leak. I'm still thinking like, why, what's going on? And so I called the, I've paid for them to come out and put the gas in extra,

I paid extra. To explain with that this whole thing. And they came, filled it up, and locked it. And now I'm calling and I'm like, hey, man, you padlocked my tank. And they're like, well, it looks like on the report that nobody could find anyone to release the tank. We need to see an 18-year-old or older person to be able to say, okay, tank is full. Thank you, shake your hand, goodbye. And that didn't happen.

So they locked it and left. But the tank guy, the gas guy, as he's leaving, our contractor came to help us try to figure out what was going on also. So he waved at him. Like he saw, they had a thing in passing. Yeah, I don't know. He left the note on the front door. So he came to the front door. The dog, if anyone comes near the front door,

even though the landscapers to water the plants, they are charging the door. I don't know how this happened where nobody saw him here. Well, I still think, all right, they've locked it for a reason to, it's a danger, safety issue. And I started to think, man, maybe they didn't see anybody or maybe they, but I call them and they're like, yep, didn't see anybody out there. So he locked it and left.

We'll have to have somebody come out there and do a leak check. And I'm like, all right, I want a leak check. Come on out. You know, this is a rough environment. Come out here and leak check the shit out of this. But I want to get my, can I, you know, I was like kind of mad because I paid extra to expedite the delivery. And now I've got to wait for them to come back out.

and I've got to wait 24 hours. So they're not coming to leak check and unpadlock the tank till tomorrow. Oh, my gosh. And so more cold showers. We, we, we, we, and my buddy's like, dude, I'll cut that damn lock off. We'll open that somebody. Yeah. I'm like, no, no, no.

I'm like, let's not do that. I don't want, they're coming tomorrow. And I don't want them to show up and see the padlock cut and go, oh, we're, yeah, now you're really in trouble calling the wall. So they came out and the leak check was basically just unpadlocking the tank. He had a couple little things. He checked around the tank. We went to a hot water heater, saw it fire up, take off, and we're good to go.

Guy was super nice, super cool. He gave me his phone number. He's like, hey, if you ever have any issues, by all means, just call me. I'll come through. So it ended up being great. But another adulting moment. where you're just like learning things about, you know, random stuff.

Random maintenance, typical maintenance, and stuff that everyday regular folk already know. Hey, it's Dale Jr. Did you know that we've got brand new merch from our Star Stripes and Beers Collection available now? We've got tanks, teas, beach towels, and more just in time for summer. Check it all out at shop. dirtymomedia.com.

Well, there was another random thing that happened just yesterday. And I want to shout out to Dale for this. By the way, let's do the drink of the week. Dale just took a sip of his high rock. So High Rock's sponsor in our drink of the week again. We have a High Rock mimosa. I put mine in a pretty little glass. Dale refused.

So he's got his sugar in the fast. I won't drink out of a more masculine container. Yes. One shot of vodka, champagne, and then you top it with your own juice. So it's delicious and very easy. please visit high rock vodka.com to find vodka near you. They have a store locator there for you. You can also ship if your state allows it, but you also must be 21 years or older,

so you must drink responsibly. Back to the thing, though, yesterday we're at a restaurant for dinner, and it's busy. We walk in with, we have a party of eight, so we're kind of a scene just walking in the door. And this gentleman happens to notice Dale, and he's deaf, he can't hear, but he is, is very, very lively. Is that the right word? Animated. Animated way, you know, showing that he knows who Dale is.

He's doing like the race car hands. He's like pointing to the bartender. Like, hey, look at this guy. So we kind of have a moment with him. He was going around. He was coming toward me and by, and as he's going by other people at the bar to get to where we are, he's like tapping them on the shoulder pointing.

And everybody's like, what, what? What's going on? I thought that he knew those people. He's like doing the driving. Yeah. He's like, hey, look, look, look, look who it is. And everybody's like, well, I don't know who the guy is. The guy, one of the ladies closest to us, she's got to be in her 20.

She turns out. She goes, I'm so confused. Most people were like, yeah, we don't recognize. We don't recognize. We don't know what's going on. But he did. He did. And he was very excited.

It was very cute. So he sits down. We all go sit to eat. And he kind of keeps glancing over at Dale. And at one point, Dale's like, let's buy his dinner. So I go to the bartender because that's where he's sitting to eat his dinner. And I'm like, hey, we want to discreetly, you know, pay for his tab when he's ready or when we're ready, whatever. And so that happens towards the end of the night.

We pay for our tab. I pay for his separately because he's sitting at the bar. And our waitress brings over his tab. And he has only drank. He hasn't eaten anything $150 worth of margaritas. I was like, wow. Bam is having a day. Good for him. Maybe we should slip him a couple tacos just in case.

But like, he was really having a good time. You know, we paid for it anyway. But he comes over to say thank you because on the tab they wrote Dale Earnhardt paid for your dinner. And so, of course, he comes over and he wants to say thank you. And the girls, like, he wants to take a picture or something with us. And the girls are a little nervous. He's teaching the girls how to do a little sign language. He's like teaching him how to say, I love you and trying to teach him sign language.

Well, I say thank you. That's like the only thing I remember from school. And Dale, I turn to Dale, and I think he's just going to do like the wave off. And he does start doing this whole like thing. I'm like, whoa, where did you pull that out of? Like, I know you know a bunch of random shit, but I didn't know you knew how to sign language too. And he had told him like to have a nice day in sign language. You do this.

Have a good and then this day. That's a day. That's just like the clock or the sun going down. know. Have a good day. Have a good day. It blew Amy's mind. My mouth's hanging open. And then he, the gentleman, his name is Ricky.

The gentleman to my left is like watching my reaction and starts to die laughing at the whole thing. I was like joke was on me almost at that point. But it was amazing. I was impressed with Dale yet again. And I mean, I couldn't stop thinking about after that. Like, where did you pull that out of your ass? Like, really? How did you figure that out?

Well, I'll say how it all happened. So there was back in the 90s, And around 1994, 95, I was racing in a rural beach Speedway. And one of the fans that came every single weekend was deaf and brought me a sign book. So he said, hey, he was telling me, he's like, man, I would like it if you might learn a couple signs so we could communicate. And I might still have that in my library, actually, but he gave me that book. And I learned a couple things. but I mean it's stuff like if you're not doing it all the time

it's hard to keep remember what's going on it's like playing the drums like if you don't do it all the time you can't just hop down and pick it right back up and so but I remember that was like he was telling me he's like this would be neat for me right if you could just say hello or whatever right and I thought man of course I get it and so when Amy walked over to get his tab

I pulled up a video on YouTube and thought I would try to learn quickly how to say, have a nice day. And so I watched the video on YouTube real quick and was like thinking in my mind how to mimic the motions. And so I was like, all right. So when he comes over here,

I'll just make sure I can sign to him so he'll feel seen or heard, you know. Well, it was very smooth. Yeah. Yeah, brother. Yeah, that was fun. He was awesome, dude. We have July 4th coming up.

I hope everybody's going to celebrate responsibly and have a good time. Amy had this really cool idea. Amy is the, she is the queen of creativity. I'm like a hospitality director. You are. You are so good at all of those things. And so when we have company over, she just got all the extras, right?

It goes beyond what's necessary to make them feel welcome them and happy and they have all kinds of like gifts and things or whatever. Yeah, we are big gift givers. Yeah. But I want everyone's experience to be good. Like, large. Well, she'll put out the banners or the, you know, the typical sort of stuff that you'll see around homes during the, during this time of year. But she got this stencil and it's to spray paint stars on the ground or the grass in your yard.

they're about a foot wide stars, and it's just a stencil. And she even got the marking paint instead of regular paint. She got the marking paint that you would spray on the ground. It's like chalk. Yeah, so it washes away. Yeah. And she's out in the whole, she's, so our yard is surrounded by a public road. And so it's got like a, we're on the corner too, so we've got a lot of side yard.

It's got a 10 foot wide strip of grass all the way around. up against the road. And she's out there laying that stencil down doing red and blue stars on the ground of the perimeter of our lot. And she said, she came back in, she goes,

I had to quit. I was out there with a red paint first. She's like, neighbors, neighbors were walking around looking at me. I was getting some slow rides and a lot of eyes. I like, because this is a very,

I'm like, I want to show them. I want to slow down. I can tell you what I'm doing. Please don't call the cops on me. This is safe for the environment. Like, we're at the beach. So, like, the sea turtles, all the sea life is very, like, the focus.

You can't have too much lighting around your house at night. It's really, really important. All the environmental stuff's important. And so I'm nervous at this point that this older gentleman, especially who circled the block again to see what I was doing was going to turn me in. And so I ran in the garage and shut it. I was like, I'm not to take time out and do that blue stuff later because I'm a little nervous. She's going to do it in the dead of night.

Yes, I'm going to go out there when it's dark and do the blue stars. We're country out in the woods kind of, you know, do anything we want, you know, to our property kind of people. I've grew up around dad and he carved up his property however he wanted to do it. And we're having this beach house for the last six years or so are having to like remember. Yeah. Yeah, that we don't really get to kind of just be able to do anything we want. People are watching.

Yeah, the neighbors. There's like, you know, the neighborhood rules and guidelines around like kind of how far you can go with some of the things you want to do. Well, to that point, though, I like to follow the rules. I'm not trying to step outside of the boundaries of the rules. I don't want to get us in trouble, but I was a little nervous about that. I always, I like to do a little goodwill around the neighborhood. We have a right on the, we're on the intersection and on our intersection are a bunch of community trash cans. And man, the trash truck will come by, and he picks them up and sets them down.

You know, the big trash truck dump arm, picks them up and throws them into the, and throws them back on the ground, and he drives away. And they're all kind of situated, all different. They're out of line? Yeah, or the public. You know, the public uses them a lot at the beach access, and they get moved around and upside down and rolled over, lids open. I'm a kind of guy that will go over there

and straighten all that shit out and get them looking nice and neat. You know, so I like, I like, I'm enjoying the, I'm enjoying being a good asset to the community. Yeah. Well, we were looking out the window yesterday. We have a little bench that overlooks the street, like right at the edge of the house.

And there was this dad with his young boy, and they were literally hopping from star to star down the side of the house. And I was like, that's the cutest thing. I told Amy, I said, Amy, you did that. Yeah, they have a little moment. It was so cute. She created this little moment for the dad.

I'm like, I didn't even think about that happening, but I'm so glad it is. It was adorable. So wholesome. It was. There's a lot of fun activities around here for the fourth, too. Like they have a golf cart parade and everybody dresses up their golf cart. We almost themed ours one year, but we just got too lazy because it starts pretty early in the morning. We're going to be a pirate ship.

Every year we've said we're going to do that. I know. We always go, but we don't participate. We can't do it this year because I got to leave. Yeah, well. I wouldn't do to enjoy that. Yeah, I don't think that I have the guts to like enter it and drive it and do all that without you here. So we'll have to do that another year. But, I mean, it is fun. It's wild. They're throwing candy.

Everybody's got like a bar set up on the back of their golf cart to like sit and watch. It's a tailgate situation. So it's fun. You watch the one here on Sullivan's and you go to Isle Palm and watch theirs. And then there's just like a street party happening. It's just fun everywhere. So it's a big day. We're going to play a game today. So this game's called Guess That Guy Thing. So I'm going to guess the guy things this week?

Guess that guy thing. All right. We did this with Amy the other week and it was so much fun where she had a lot of terms for what females deal with and things females know and I don't know.

If you haven't already, please remember to hit the subscribe button on our YouTube channel. We have a fun show for you guys today, and I can't wait for your questions.

All right. Our first question is from Mindy, and she wants to know what's your guy's favorite thing to do with the girls at the beach. Hmm. Well, my favorite thing to do with them is probably just to take a beach walk. We like to start our day with the beach walk. We take Gus out for our walk. But I just like being out there anyway to start my day. Just a good way to kind of get centered.

The kids probably would say the ice cream shop is their favorite thing, do here. We can golf cart down and get ice cream. My favorite thing to do is to, I got this special cart with these little balloon beach tires and I put the chairs and an umbrella on there and get a couple of beach toys and a little cooler and slide on out to the beach and set up and get under the shade and let the kids go down and play by the water. They have just gotten to this. We are sort of at this stage where when we first were out here for several years, they needed a lot more hands-on help them play,

because helped them understand how to play at the beach, right? And certainly they're so small, you didn't want them to be in any dangerous situations. Yeah. And if they're going to the water, you had to be there with them at all times. And now they're kind of to the point to where they can play together, they can stay in the shallow,

they're not going to be in any danger by themselves. We're right there 20, 30 feet away at the most. And we can sit there and kind of, you know, just enjoy the breeze and people watch. It's so much fun. It's my best, that's my favorite thing. It's the only reason why we even have a beach house. If we couldn't. Enjoy the beach.

Yeah, if we couldn't enjoy that aspect of the beach to me, this, this, we could just be anywhere. I wouldn't care. But, yeah. Do they like to build sandcastles or anything like that? Yeah, we've got wild of sandcastle toys. They do drip castles too where they were, they were doing that yesterday where they just, did you do that as a kid. Like you just take your hand with the muddy sand and just like drip big big, big, big,

globby sand, you know, like, peeps. They're doing that too. Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. They like to get buried. They want to be buried. Yes, Daddy has to make them marmades. They like to get buried.

Yeah, from the waist down and get buried. And then you draw a mermaid tail. Mm-hmm. They like that. And then I just like to dig a big hole. That was my thing. Yeah. Yeah.

See how far I can dig before I get tired. That's a good way to tire you out. Yeah. Guarantee. Our next one. from Danielle. She wants to know what's the funniest things one of your girls has ever done in public. And she says, for example, one time my son dropped something in church and said, damn it, and the whole congregation laughed. And she was mortified. So what's one of the funniest things

your girls have done in public? Oh, I don't know. To be honest, going to Louise and watching her, you know, throw spaghetti all over the place and slide into the, I mean, anything they do that's, like, slightly embarrassing, you feel like it's bigger than it's actually, that it actually looks like to everyone else around you, but I don't know. So for me, having to take them to the bathroom, I'm always worried about what they're going to say when they're in the restroom. Like, you have to be very conscious of what you tell them to call number one and number two because they're going to stick that out loud very, very inappropriately.

The timing is going to be what it is. I took them, Amy, this was a couple years ago. Amy was gone and I had a day planned to take the girls and do some stuff. and I was really trying to make this an awesome day. And I wanted Amy to, you know, I want to impress Amy as much as I wanted the girls to really enjoy it. So I took them, they loved the American Girls dolls. So I took them down to South Charlotte to that store. And I was like, guys, we're going to go in here.

We're going to take our time. We're going to look at everything. They have all kinds of toys and things. And we'll take our time. We'll walk around the store as long as you want. And eventually you pick a doll and we'll call it a day. that was part of the day. And we drive down there and we were walking through like J.C. Penny's to get to this American

Girls doll store. And they're like, hey, I need these bathroom. And I did too. I had to pee real bad. So I had to take both girls into the men's bathroom. And so, which was a problem. Which is a problem? Yeah. I'm like, all right. I'm going to go in here. Hope there's no men. You know, hope I'm intruding on somebody using the restroom, it was empty. So I could get them both in the stall, and all three of us in this tiny little, you know, three-by-six stall are trying to pee and not get, you know, not touch anything. And while we're in there, men are coming in and out, you know, to pee and do whatever they do, right?

And I'm like, the girls are giggling because they hear the men fart and stuff like that. What the world. Yeah, and so it was a big deal. But luckily, you know, we, you know, nothing else, nothing, you know, you get done and you leave and that's that, it is what it is. It's embarrassing is hell and you don't want it to be, you don't want it to be a thing. It's traumatic, right, for them in any way. And so that was pretty tough because, well, that's the only thing is like when you're a girl, dad and you have them out and they need to use a bathroom, it's like, you know, it's a tough

situation. So it's not like mom can just take them into the girls' room and go to the bathroom. So you get a little nervous about that, but yeah. So far we haven't had anything like totally random and embarrassing, but I don't know, pooping in the pool is probably pretty damn embarrassing. That's up there. When you have to call someone to help you when your husband's not around and it's, something like that, it's embarrassing.

Christy wants to know what's your favorite girls trip and why? Ooh, we've had a lot of really good girls trips. One that stands out is Ingle of we went for my Bachelorette. And we all stayed in this gigantic house that had like all these open air little bungalows that kind of connected with the roofline. It was incredible. And we literally just danced and played. We had a chef cooking us breakfast every morning.

So we at least had breakfast. and we went out on the boats and we just enjoy. Everybody was just free. Like there was, it was a perfect group of people. Everybody had a great time. We've been to Key West together and had a blast for someone's 40th birthday. We had challenged her to have 40 shots.

So like, and it feels like, I don't know, it was only a three-day trip. So it was a lot of shots for three days. She did it. Yeah. I don't know. Everybody says they kind of lost a kitty life on that one. I don't know. We've had a lot. I dare share too many details, but. Well, about the one you took recently in Miami, we sent you on.

That was amazing, too. That was more of like a sophisticated girls' trip. We all got dressed up and had a little time. Yeah, I mean, before we were, it was just a botcherous, you know, like we're all wild and crazy and dancing and drinking as much as we can. They're all fun. Is there a place that you'd like to go on a girls trip that you haven't yet, that you would recommend somebody go? Hmm. I have been in Nashville on one. That's a lot of fun. You can, you can, like, have all kinds of fun in Nashville without having to try too hard. So I would say you should absolutely go there. I don't know, Miami is good. Key West is good. Anywhere in the eye, like, it just depends on, oh, I want to go to Nantucket. Key West is good. It's on your list. I want to go to Nantucket with girls. That would be fun. I don't feel like Dale would appreciate it as much as a bunch of girls would. So that one's on my life.

list. It's like a Charleston vibe type of. Kind of, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Next question is from Dom, and he wants to know what album has no skips that you guys enjoy. Ooh. An album that we share, Ralph, that has no skips.

Or some deep tracks, maybe. You got to listen to these. I got it. I got it. We've been listening a lot of Stevie Nix lately. Now, I mean, you will agree on this one. Hold on. Okay.

What is it? I mean, I've got to quickly, quickly look it up. You can't remember? All right. Lord Huron, Strange Trails. Strange trails, yeah, it's a good one. We try to get Lord Huron to come play for the wedding, and they were on tour in Europe.

Lord Huron, Strange Trails is one that I think we both agree on. That's true. We both. But I would say, for me, Amy, do you have one on your own? I mean, if I put on anything country, like 90s country, I'm going to listen to the whole thing. Anything George Strait, Alan Jackson, I would just listen to the whole thing. For me, the Dream Walker record from Angels and Airwaves. That thing came out, and I was, it was like, what's your favorite dessert, Thames?

Brownies. Brownies? Like what can you just sit down and just eat and eat a ton of? Oh, tacos. Okay. It was like you had just met tacos for the first time. Oh. And you're like, and you had this big plate of tacos.

You're like, God, dang, these are awesome. I'm just going to sit here and enjoy all these. That was what it was like when the Dreamwalker record came out. And I could not get enough. And me and Amy took an airstream to this HOA just to hang out for a day or two. and I think we had Ila? No? We had nothing but Killer and Junbug.

Me, you and Killer and Jimbug? Yeah. Well, we go Parkettus HOA and I'm like, I'm going to get some firewood. I'm going to build a fire. I'm going to get my bud light. I'm going to sit down, drink beer. This is awesome.

And I put that damn record on, and about two hours goes by, three, maybe it's 10 hours, whatever. Amy's like, hey, can you play another record? Can we switch this, please? Can we change it to something else? Like, this is the same. I'm in this weird loop.

I need out. I know. I was, oh, man, I was like, this is the best. It was a lot of a long time ago. That was back when we had a killer. Yeah, it was a great record. Yeah. I have a buddy who has a playlist.

He plays the same eight songs from the same generation in the 80s, and it will go all day if he's having a party. I'm like, can we please play something else? That's like, that's enough to drive people crazy. They are great songs, but after the third time hearing them, I'd like to hear something else. Or make the playlist longer. Agreed.

That's like when someone asked you that question, like if you had one song that you had to listen to, or you only got one song or one album or one artist. There's no answer for that. There's no right answer because you're going to go freaking nuts, no matter who it is. Yeah. That's a recipe for insanity.

Yeah. Yeah. Next question is from Sandy. She wants to know if you guys have ever attended a high school reunion and if you have any advice for how she's attending her first one. or 10 year, I guess. I have never, I've never attended one. I've never been invited to one.

No. They have had them and they did them in, it was like a Facebook invitation kind of thing, which I didn't have. But nobody tried to find me. So I never went back. I never have either. And I wanted to.

And so I actively would be like, you know, trying to find out where this information might be or who might be in charge of it or if anybody was orchestrating something like that. And there were a couple times where our class got together and I know from a person that attended, it was like six people when they met at a park.

You know, it wasn't like a... In my mind, the class reunion happens at the gym, at the school. Everyone's there. Yeah. Yeah. You're seeing all your people... Like a trauma reading. Yeah, right.

That's what I thought it would be. And I'm like, I couldn't wait for that. that to happen in my life. I was like, oh man, you know, because I was this little punk, short dude, nobody thought was ever going to do anything. And you didn't even go to your own prom. Yeah, I didn't go to any. I didn't go to prom. I skipped all that. I was like, man, I can't wait to go back and see how everybody's doing. But also, you know, hey, I kind of turned out all right. And I was excited to see people's, how people felt about that, you know. They wanted to walk in going, How do you like me now?

A little bit. Yeah. But we never did have those like a genuine reunion. But there were a couple times where some people orchestrated some things. I did this weird thing, not to hijack this, but, and Amy was able to remember this, probably about five years ago. I don't know why I got caught up or hung up on this. But I had like a group of four close friends from high school that,

I don't talk to anymore. I hadn't talked to in 20 years. And I don't, they've went on to do whatever they do, right? Some awesome, some maybe not so great, have had some difficult times, but I reached out to them and went and had lunch with them. He was on like a reunion tour of his own. He would reach out to these people that he used to be kind of close with and be like, I want to know what these people are up to now. And I want to rekindle whatever it is. Yeah. I loved it. And, you know, and I think they did. They, they, enjoyed it too. I met a couple of them at some local restaurants for lunch around town. And I mean, I hadn't talked to these people forever. It was completely awkward. But after a few

minutes, you're like, man, you remember, you know, you start telling stories about, and hey, have you heard from this person and all that stuff? And it starts to become a really rewarding, fulfilling sort of hour long or hour and a half long lunch. And then at the end, you're like, hey, you know, I don't, probably, I don't know if we're not going to, we're probably not going to. Probably not ever going to see you again, but this was fun. See each other. Yeah, but this is, I've just really been thinking about you. I just basically I wanted them to know like even though we hadn't talked in 20 years and we're not technically like what you would categorize as friends but I think about you I think about what you might be doing I remember having so much fun and you were such a great friend then

you know and so I wonder where you are and what you're doing so it was kind of cool to to do that if you can't have the reunion you know as you dreamed of a class reunion might happen in your mind or like you saw in the movies, that's kind of a neat way to at least connect to those core people that were really part of your every day. That was fun. Yeah. I feel like guys,

if they haven't seen each other in a while, they're able to just like 20 years, kind of go back to like nothing happened. Exactly. It's like a weird trait we have. Yeah. I have to talk to you for 20 more years, but it picks right back up.

We were at Barcelona one day, Amy, and a buddy of mine, we ran into one of my old friends. I know I was with you, wouldn't she? Mm-hmm. Yeah. An old friend of mine, he's doing great, but that was pretty cool.

Well, I don't live anywhere near where anyone that I grew up with lives, you know. So I keep up with my, like, my ex-chairleading friends and things on Instagram. I'm DMing with people like that now. And so, you know, I wasn't on Facebook way back when we were doing the actual reunions. So that's why I didn't get invited. But I'm able to talk to the people that I actually was friends with. So it's good. Everybody's busy.

You know, like even if we did live close, we probably wouldn't see each other anymore. Yeah. Would you go back if they invited you to your next one? I don't know. You have to. I would be scared. I would encourage her to do it.

It would feel like the first day of school all over again. That definitely wouldn't be going. Like, I'm going on myself. What? You're not supposed to take a plus one? I think you can. I don't know if I should take you. I'd be like bringing Santa Claus to the party.

I kind of feel like that. Okay. Don't get offended. I'm not offended at all. I just say I'm going to miss out on it. What's not happening? We don't have to get us. It's happening.

Oh, yeah. We've, yeah, the, we have, we have, we have, we have, we have, we have, we've, we've willed this into existence. It's going to happen. You're going to get the invitation now. We'll see how, to be continued. That's a good way to stop asking. Amy for today.
