The Dale Jr. Download - Bless Your 'Hardt - Signing Boobies & RIP AOL Dial-Up

Episode Date: August 14, 2025

Amy Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are back in the studio for another Bless Your ‘Hardt and this week we’re covering it all, from theme party chaos to the end of an internet era. Amy’s got a spicy party idea that sends Dale into a story about the wildest places people have ever wanted an autograph (yes, it’s exactly what you think). Then we pour one out for AOL dial-up because watching something be born and die in our lifetime is a little emotional, okay? Plus, we play another round of Gen Z slang and dive into all your #AskAmy questions.

Hi guys, Dale Jr. and I are back in the Dirty Moe Media Studios for another episode of Bless Your Heart. We have a great show for you today. We're going to talk about the end of an era, signing boobies, and she said no. The end of an era. The AOL thing. Oh, shit. Let's get started. The following is a production of Dirty Moe Media.

Oh, yeah, this is what it's going to be, girl. If 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. Our High Rock drink of the week this week is a High Rock Cream Sickle.

And Amy's got the recipe. Yeah, so the recipe is one and a half ounces of High Rock vodka, one and a half ounces of their orange dream sipping cream, a splash of half and a half and some vanilla. And so it's very dessert-like, but you put some ice in it and just let it sit for a minute, and it is absolutely delicious. This one will send you on your way if you ain't careful. Be where you're supposed to be when you drink it.

You get the giggles. That's what they say when you drink moonshine. Be where you're supposed to be. It's really good. I love cremcicle. I know that's like a, you know, who doesn't love cream sickle? Very nostalgic taste. Yeah, it is.

And cream sickle's kind of made a comeback here in the last couple years. But in my mind. Yeah, that's very strong. Yeah. It's really good. If you buy, you know, I'm going on about this, but if you get some orange cream sickle moonshine sipping cream from High Rock or any of their sipping creams, I keep it in the freezer because it is, you know, it's just, for me, it just drinks a little better when it's really, really cold.

And you can drink it all on its own. Yeah. Yeah. It just drinks it right out of the freezer. I do. I just, every time, I keep it in the freezer. and it's hard to walk past the freezer without grabbing a sip. You can always tell what he's been there too because there's a couple drops on the floor.

Yeah. So it's like it's kind of like you get it out of the freezer, you got to shake it up a little bit. And it's kind of like, it's kind of like soy sauce. That stuff just ends up everywhere somehow. So make sure you visit high rock vodka.com. There's a locator for bottles near you. So you can drive over to the local liquor store and pick you one up. we also shipped to certain states so that's an option as well and you may see here right here on the table

airplane bottles these are new from high rock so those will those will be out and available you may find them on the counter wherever you check out at the local liquor store and maybe on highrock vodka dot com you can get you a couple airplane bottles sent to you so a lot of fun that's the perfect amount for me when I'm making a drink is just throw one of these bags. bad boys in there so much easier no measuring so anyways life updates these are you know you did you did all the work this week i didn't put really nothing in the notes but i'm excited about this because uh i know a lot of the stories that you're wanting to talk about and i think this is going to be pretty entertaining so um and i'm looking forward to this so where you want where you want to jump off

well no pressure so life update monday night let's just start with that monday is bunco day for me So I have agreed to be a part of this Bunko group that Caitlin Larson started. Bunko is a game. It's a really simple game. You play four tops, and we have 12 girls, so you have to have the 12 to play. And so we trade off once a month. Everyone hosts. And so this week it was Laura Bore Your's turn.

Yep, Clint's lovely wife. Yes. And so every. They have a, there are 45 minutes from us. Yeah, about. Yeah. And I've never been to his farm, and you hadn't either. I had neither.

It was my first time. It's beautiful. They have like black horse fences. It's just very well manicured. And they have this giant party barn. And so that's where we had our Bunko evening. And honestly, the barn reminds me of any old dance hall I would have seen in Texas. Damn.

It really is cool. And they have a bar set up right in the middle of it. And on the far right side is a huge showroom worth like a lot of his fun cars. I don't imagine that's everything he owns. but things he doesn't drive, I think, are parked in there. And so I'm surprised he let us kind of play next to his vehicles, because I know that's not something that you really let us do. And it's a little dangerous.

Somebody falls into one of your nice cars. What are y'all falling for? No, we're old. Is Conner Zilich over there? To be honest. But, like, the kids are in there playing, too. We saw the kids come in. The dogs were in there.

Every month there's a theme, and this week it was Redneck America, so it was perfect for the party barn, and everybody's dressed up in their flannel. and their cutoffs. And I don't really have a lot of American flag or red, white, and blue clothing to, like, add a flare to my outfit. And so I add on some rip jeans and a white tank top and an orange bra because, like, it's kind of rednecky to, like, have your bra really stand out.

Through your shirt. I did some Googling. So, like, those are kind of standard images I saw. Yeah. But before I left the house, I asked Dale to sign my boob so that I really had that extra, like, to my outfit. And he looks at me like, I can't wish you just asked me to do that.

But I'm intrigued. And so I'm like, I know you've done this before. Yeah, that's not the first time. We've talked about it. Just get a Sharpie right before I leave. And I want you to sign my cleavage. And so he was very excited about it. Signed it very large.

And then throughout the night, like I ended up putting my flannel over because I just got embarrassed as to what I had done. You went there without, you, you were. I would. You kind of got cold feet? I kind of got chickened out. I mean, everybody that I knew, they all saw it. But, you know, like, we're not partying hard.

We're playing our game. And I, like, I don't need my boobs hanging out over the dice. You know what I mean? The girls don't care about that. So I ended up with my flannel on and it got all over the inside of my shirt. But I know that you've signed some boobs before, which is why I ask. Right? Yeah.

So. Surely back in, like, the day of the race track and there was a lot of T-Easties. Back when we were racetracking. Back when you were racetracking. Yeah, so my, my, are you okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, yeah. I can hear the nerves in the voice.

This takes me back to, so when you're 15, 16, 17, all the way up to about 20, 21. and I'm not sure what it's like in a I don't know what it's like for women but man when you're so you're in you're in racing you're around your dad you're around his buddies and there's always sort of some hazing going on some they're always like they always are trying to throw you into situations that'll make you uncomfortable that they know we'll make you uncomfortable. I remember I think for my

18th or 21st birthday, one of them two they had a lady cop show up to the shop just like the days of thunder? At the deerhead shop yes. So at the deerhead shop which a lot of a lot of Earnhardt fans will know about the deerhead shop so I was working in the deerhead shop and dressed in my

had black work pants had a white Dela and Hart Incorporated Dale Jr. shirt. I mean, I was all about it. And I was racing probably late models around this time.

I don't know. I was young, but it was my, it was an important birthday, 21, 18, something like that. And they had a lady cop come in there. And, a lady cop.

Yeah. And put me, set me down in a chair right in the middle of the floor in front of everybody. So that was one that was... You're sitting in a chair? They set me in a chair just like this.

And then what happened? She stripped. You said you signed tittyes. You didn't say she was stripping. No, no, that's not the titty story. I'm just setting up the titty story. Oh, gosh. That was...

That sounds like a Days of Thunder. It was. It was very Days of Thunderlight. It was a setup. And it was really embarrassing. And all the guys, because they're laughing. Yeah. Right?

because they seem, I'm turning red as crap. And the girl is okay with the clown show happening? She's not embarrassed herself? No, she's in on it. She knows, she must know that, you know, this is going on. And she, I don't know, man, this is what she does. Did you get a picture with her? I have pictures of this event.

So yes, and I cannot freaking wait to see it at this inside. Not like me and her, like, hey, let's grab a photo. I have a couple pictures of it happening, and they're terrible. They're like a little five by eight And they're kind of blurry Yeah, but you'll be able to sit. We're going to eat those pictures. I mean, she didn't get naked.

She just kind of had a little dance. But it was so embarrassing and awkward. And then, and so like Tony Sr. and dad's buddies, you know, they would kind of put you in these scenarios that were awkward like that. And we were racing somewhere. this was 97, 98, right at the front end of racing with Tony Senior and Tony Jr. and them guys.

Yeah. And there was a, there was a lady that was excited about meeting me or meeting and Earnhardt of, meeting and earnhard of any kind. He's being so careful. He's like, oh, God. And she asked for me, they want, they, I was in my hotel room and they knocked on my door. They were, it was, you know, six, seven o'clock in the evening, and they were all out coming back and forth from dinner or whatever, and there was race, you know, a race fan there or whatever lady.

And she wanted, they were like, hey, it's knocking on door, Dale. I opened door, and there's a lady standing there. She's older than me, but not a ton. But, and they're like, she wanted to meet you so bad. She's a big fan of yours, and she just pulled her shirt down and said, I want you to sign my. She just took her titty. out?

Yes. Not like signing your cleavage, like at the racetrack, tastefully in front of other people. And they laughed and she was laugh. You know, they all thought it was hilarious. What a hooker. Did she get them,

did she get it tattooed on her boo? I don't know. I mean, stuff like that's happened to. So that was, that was, I felt, you know, it was awkward.

I bet it was. And, yeah, what do you do there? Yeah. What do you do? Right. Yeah.

And then what's the, end game there, right? You know, you sign it and you're like, okay, I'm going to close my door now. Goodbye. Yeah. Like, it was weird. And they laughed and they just thought it was hilarious. You know, look on my face and they knew I was feeling uncomfortable. I can hear them cackling. Yeah. And she was, you know, she was all about it. She thought it's hilarious. But. Have you signed any children? No, no. We did that. I think there was, uh, I think that was something that happened in Talladega nights during one of the things. I know they always kind of exaggerated all the things.

I sound some prosthetic limbs. So I was at Indianapolis and a guy walked up and asked me to sign his leg. And he pulled it off. And it had all kinds of... It wasn't awkward until he pulled it off. Well, you could tell. It was fine. He had all kinds of stickers and things on it.

He was a race fan. His prostate... Maybe that was like his race leg, you know, to wear that to the racetrack. That was his flare lag. Yeah. So it was, I always like doing that kind of stuff. I don't mind that. People do ask you and have asked me to sign skin.

And there's not a pen that writes on skin well. and sometimes it's some, you know, it's some kid that just has nothing else and they're like, just sign my hand or whatever, you know. Yeah. And that's going to wash off and they know that and they don't care. Then there's other people that are like, sign it. I'm going to get it tattooed. Yeah.

And I'm like, don't do this. Man, I don't think that's a great idea. But if you really are going to do that, let's like, why don't I write it on a white piece of paper where it looks good, take it to your artist, have them do, put that, you know. Because when I try to. sign skin it just it just it's time it's not totally dry but it just doesn't write good it doesn't it's like the worst it's like some of my worst autographs are on like shirt you're pretty good on me the other day you did well it's important for the the surface to be firm and and and uh no i'm kidding um took his time that's yeah what did you say took his time that's why you're right yeah he did

You're right. So it was pretty cool. The way her shirt was, the way Amy's shirt was is like the ale in the word, in the name Dale, the ale looped up out of the shirt. And I was like, well, you know, you can still wear your shirt and they're going to look at that and go, what's on, what somebody wrote on you? What's on there? And then you could go, oh, that's part of my outfit.

Well, so Jamie Goddard picked me up and drove me out there. so she was so excited about it. She told everybody before, like, they got to notice. She thought that was hilarious that we did that. So, yeah, it was funny. Amy. We like to have a good time. She does.

Amy is, it speaks to Amy's creativity, honestly, because I know it's silly. But everything, like, if we're going to go, if Amy's going to dress up for, you know, function like that with her friends, or if we're going to a party where it's a theme, or if we're, you know, if we're, theme in anything. Amy has always got this ability to, like, add the perfect touch.

I don't want to half-ass anything. I know you don't want to half-ass anything. No one, most people don't. But you have this ability to, like, add, like, the cherry on top every single time. Thanks, Annie. And that's just, like, something really unique about her. And she could have just went to the thing looking like she looked and fit right in and done, you know, no big deal. had great play, you know, but she adds, you know, she adds these little touches on everything she does that are like, it was funny, it was fun, but it was like. I did it mostly just to make him blush.

She did. Yeah. And I asked him a little too early, too, because I had about an hour left before I had to go. And like 45 minutes left, he's like, you want to sign your boob? Are you ready? I was like, no, because what if it smears? He's like, how is it going to smear? I was like, I don't know.

What if the kids come up to me? And like, what if the kids want to see it? I don't really want to do this, like, that early. and so he he did it right before I left but he kept asking me he had a Sharpie ready Yeah

That's funny It was worth it It was cool Hey this is Dale Jr And for the latest Bless Your Heart gear Go to shop.durtymo Media.com We've got plenty of options for everybody

And adding new stuff every day Go to shop Dot dirtymomedia.com AOL has announced That they are going to end The Dial-up service of their business after 35 years of operation. I don't know how many people in here raise your hand if you used AOL ever.

All right, so all of us did. That's basically like when me and Amy first started dating. That's how we chit-chat. That's how we conversated. Yeah. You know, because, I mean, we didn't. It was before iPhones. Yeah, before texting.

I wasn't going to type all that shit out using my flip phone. I had a razor phone. You did? I think you had just gotten an iPhone. but I didn't have one. So we couldn't text each other. And I didn't have texting on my eraser. They had iPhones of Batman?

That was the year that came out. Wow. So, yeah, so our communication was through AOL Messenger. AOL and I still remember Amy's screen name. And I still have. You still say it wrong. Danzy Cat. It was not Danzy Cat.

What is it? I was part of a dance group in college called the Dance Cats. And so it was D-A-N-Z-E, like a D-A-N-Z-E, like a D-E. like dance with a Z, Dance Cat 22. And he kept, he's always done that. It's Danzy Cat. I would say Dan's Cat. You would have said Danzy Cat?

There's a Z in it. But there's no why. Dan's. Danz. Danz. I guess, yeah. Danzy. Danzy just comes off.

But no matter how many explanations I've gone through, he still does this Danzy Cat thing, so which is fine. It's, it's gone now. But Dan's Cat was my screen name. Mine was Rizzo from the Jerky Boy. I'll coincidentally. Jerky boys? Wow.

Yes. Really? So the jerky boys. We need a Rizzo flavor then. We might be getting into some copyright issues there, but we, which is surprising. So jerky boys, the jerky boys back 30 years ago was a prank call cassette. You know, you'd buy their cassettes and throw it in and listen, and they would be prank calling businesses. And one of their characters was Rizzo, Frank Rizzo.

He'd call up the body shop. He'd be like, yo, Frank Rizzo, you f***ed up my truck coming over there. I'm going to bust you up. I'm going to bust you up. I'm going to hit you upside to head with a pipe. And he would get the store owner so mad and angry. Come on over here. You come on down there.

I'm coming down there. I'm going down there. Come on down there. What's the way? You know, and they're going back and forth. And it's hilarious. Was there ever a revelation like, hey, just kidding? I don't think so.

The guy, no, eventually it would just be a hang-up, or they would just hang the phone up. Then he'd call them back. Yeah. Wasn't it like a Joe Pesci type of person? There was a Saul Rosenberg wrote, Saul something character. But the Rizzo character was like heavy Italian, the Jersey accent. It was awesome. It's very believable that someone will call and do all this.

Yeah, yeah. Frank Rizzo. So I loved that character and just I loved, I thought it was hilarious how he messed with people. and so Rizzo reminds me of Greece I know so Rizzo was my AOL screen name

and then years later we're going to buy into the jerky boy jerky business and I'm like I can't believe they let the

trademark lapse on that deal but apparently it was available and so you can't really prank call anybody anymore I know but I think their equity

and the equity built up in the jerky boys name and brand people still know Frank Rizzo. People still know jerky boys from their little deal back in the day. But, yeah.

So that's how we communicated, man. And you couldn't send pictures. We didn't. No. I don't think you could. No, I don't remember. You could send like little emojis. Yeah, I think you could.

Well, I didn't. I think in the desktop app, you could send a photo or something or a file. I don't remember being able to send pictures. I can't remember, right? It's been so long. Yeah. Because the only picture you had of me was that one photo we had when we had dinner or when I was with Michelle. Sorry.

Yeah, you were. Yeah. So I don't think so because you probably would have asked me for a photo. So I remember, like we all know the sound of that modem, right, the 28. The screech. 28, 800. And then we, I remember racing online using that technology. And then they came out with the most.

modem that was twice as fast, the 46 or whatever it was. And you're like, dude, we're really going to be cooking now. We're going to be racing online. No more glitching and jerking around and cars disappearing. And then after that, there was ISDN lines. Those were clunky and a lot of hardware and cables and wires and stuff going everywhere. And then I bought a T-1 line. And there were only...

T1s were for like hospitals and schools. And the only people outside of the hospitals and schools in Moorsville that had T1 lines were me and Rusty Wallace, Rusty Wallace's race shop. Really? Wow. I was a second T1 line outside of like the government buildings. That's crazy. Did I have to get approval for that? Did you have to get approval for that?

No. But it was just so expensive. No one in their right behind was like, well, I need that much internet, you know. But now, like, you know, that T1 line, I can't even imagine what it was probably like a couple megs. Yeah. Like four megs or eight megs of download. And, um... You're geeking out on me.

I don't know what any of this means. Well, it's... Well, now, like, you know, we're, we're down, we're getting 200, 300, 400 megs of download and upload. That's, like, a standard... Per house? Yeah. That's, like, standard when you go Xfinity Wi-Fi. Gotcha.

At our, like, our house at the beach. But I was going to say... Um, the f***. We were, we were talking, yeah, we were talking about AOL.

Yeah. So. He still doesn't. Oh, yeah, what was I going to do? What was I going to say? I was going to take us somewhere.

Jeez. James said about shutting down service. That's where you were going. Yeah, they were, well, yeah, I mean,

they, they, they're ending their dial up service. Are we surprised it took this long? Well, I, kind of. Yeah.

I mean, I believe, so what service do they continue to provide? I don't know that I've ever used AOL in the last 10 to... Well, I mean, though, the email platform still exists. Like the messaging platform, I think all of that still exists. It's a search engine too now, right? I haven't used AOL probably since the Instant Messenger was popular. Yeah.

But I know the email still work because he still get, you still communicate with some of them. We'd sit on there, man, me and Amy, I know everybody did, but we'd sit on there texting for hours. I had a four. We had nothing to talk about you also. Nothing. I had a, basically, I had a two station cubicle. So I had, I had a gaming, PC gaming station that was just a corner office cubicle for a corner. And I paired two of them together.

And so I had one, I would play at this one. And then I would, when TJ would come over, he would, he would play at the other one. And we'd race each other and race against other people or play shoot-em-ups or whatever. And man, every night, I'd sit there and Amy and I would just text back and forth for hours. And interesting how we – it's interesting how that was enough. Yeah. You know, young love, and you're like, oh, I want to tell this person how much I want to see them and how much I want to – let's let you know – and you're trying not to say too much,

and you're trying to play the game. That was truly – because I lived in Jacksonville, Florida. I wasn't living here. So that was during a time, too, where, like, we literally didn't see each other unless we physically were in the same room. Yeah. Because there was no, like, sending pictures back and forth or anything like that. That was what I want to talk about. So thank you for the pictures.

I'm here for you, babe. So, just give me a second, and I'm going to let you. I don't have anything to say. Go for it. I know, but you're going to jump in here. You're going to try to jump in here because I know what I'm, I know what you're going to think about this. Okay. Go.

when we first started dating, and I've talked about this on here, I'm sorry if you've heard this story, but when we first started dating for a long time, like me and her are, we've decided we're doing this. We went a long time like talking about whether we should, whether we would or could, and we really did procrastinate for months and months and months about whether this was something. me and her we're going to do. And when we finally decided, okay, we're going to date, I'm going to date you, you're going to date me, we're going to do this. This is not just a, you know, like a crush or a fun thing.

And it's not just an idea, right? We're going to do it. We're going to invest. And I'm, she's living in another state. And again, like I saw her physically felt, I felt like I saw you once every two or three weeks. No. No, really.

Was more often or less? When we started dating or before that? When we started dating. Yeah, it was like every, yeah, once every two or three weeks. Right. And it was, it was, it was sucky because, like, of course, I wanted to see her more than that. Yeah. But also he was racing.

So, like, he was all over the place. Keep going. So. You're looking at me. What the f***? I'm all over the place. Yes, of course. This was during my racing career and we were traveling.

So she, it was not always working for us to be where. we want to be but I would have to go I would have to go two three weeks without seeing her and she would not give me a picture because I'm you know I got an image or or a vision in my mind but that ain't good enough I want to I want to pull it out and look at it don't pull it out and look at it I want to open it up on my phone and I want to look at her there's no option for that though but didn't she make it didn't it make you miss her more because you Who cares? It did.

It did. It did, but it's like, that's not healthy. So don't try this. He doesn't like to, he has no patience, you already know that. Most people that are dating are dating in the same area. They can see each other more often. Okay, I don't need a picture. If I don't see you in three days, don't need a photo.

Fine. But if I know that this is going to be the process for however long this may be, I don't know that she's going to come to North Carolina, she might not come ever want to move to North Carolina that might end up being like the big roadblock I don't know that and so I'm sitting there going hey can I get a picture of you like just to have for on my phone or just to be able to like

hey you know hey you know friend look this new girl I'm dating like this is what she looks like she refused to give me a photo and she finally no I didn't do it I didn't give it to you or somebody sent it to me her friend of hers finally gave me a picture and it was a great photo And, and I mean, that was, I know that photo, I had that photo. And I was the only photo I had for many months.

And then one night we were sitting there having dinner and we took a selfie of us together at the table. And that was the second photo that I had of Amy. And we've been dating for several months. And I have two photos of her. Like, it was ridiculous. I don't feel like it's very common, especially back in 2008 for everyone to have. a bunch of photos of each other. Like, you're not posting them anywhere.

There's no social media. I think that he had a... You could have... You could go on the internet and find any photo of me you wanted. That's because you're famous. Of course. But also, I didn't do that. I didn't go Googling you.

I wanted to guess... I'm just saying, if you needed a photo, you didn't have to go far. I had to beg you. Like, you had a vault. Well, here's the thing. And you were like, nope, none of the photos are coming out of the vault. I didn't have any. I didn't like having my picture taken.

She hated having her picture taken. There was like a very large adjustment getting used to being around you and constantly having your photo taken. I didn't like that. She didn't like photos of herself. Like she would, if you put five photos down in front of her, she'd go, nope, you can't have any of those. Those are bad. I don't know any girl that's any different, to be honest. Yeah, I'm not saying it's strange.

People have just gotten so much more used to seeing themselves now, hearing themselves talk because of our phones. and back then I just, I didn't have any reason to see or hear myself. And I didn't really want him having pictures of me and showing everybody either. So no, I didn't have a picture. And finally, yeah, it was one of my friends sent him a picture. We were in Chicago at a trade show or something. And we went to dinner and Beth across the table took a picture of Michelle and I. And Michelle emailed it to you because she knew that you wanted a picture.

So that's how that happened. I used to tell when me and her started. going around each other. Going around? Like working. So being around. We're really going back. When me and her started to get around each other, I remember, you know, I've told the story

about the first time I ever saw her and how I was, you know, knocked off my feet. I went and told, this is kind of in the vein of her, you know, of the photos, her, how I think she's beautiful and she doesn't think she's beautiful, which is a great song. Sammy Kirschall sings it. But I was, I would go, I go into the holler. I think it's, I go into the holler and to talk to Tony Jr. My crew chief. And I'm going on and on about Amy.

I'm like, man, this girl, I saw this girl. It's beautiful. Can't, can't describe it. And, you know, months of this talking to Tony Jr. about her. and finally I was like hey man she's going to be here she's going to come

you're going to meet her and he's like Vizine and I said Vizene he goes yeah Vizine she's so pretty make your eyes hurt oh man

he called me Vizine for a while he called her yeah Tony Jr. He's funny yeah he's always got some good one-liners and everything that made me laugh

he's like Vizine gonna be here that's funny that's funny But it was, yeah, AOL, shutting her down. Man, that's a, that's kind of weird being old enough to have seen that, seeing that come and go. That's what's weird about it.

It's watching something that you used when you were young, when it was fresh, come, and then now it's going. I've felt that way about a few things, like Peyton Manning's career, Tom Brady's career, all these, like iconic sports figures. like you're like, I remember when they were a rookie. Damn. Felt like yesterday. Now they're like tired.

They're 40. Well, to be fair, their careers, like they had, I mean, he did have a long one, but football players don't play that long. Quarterbacks do about 20 years when they're that good. But man, you're like, I lived the whole thing. You know? Crazy. It is crazy.

You know what else is crazy? Peyton Manning and AOL. Paid Manning. Sangin it up. Bless them. Bless them. What else is crazy? Crazy.

is that I have found, and I hate to admit this, I have found solace in this boat that you bought. She said no. Okay. Yes. So Monday, Tuesday nights is dance night and I take Ila, and she's got an hour and a half class. And the boat slip is literally

down the street from the dance studio. And so Dale's got some towels we need to take back, and instead of him going, he takes Nicole home and I go down to the boat, and I just got to sit there and chill on the water. by myself in this quiet, serene space while Ila was in dance class and I was like, Dale, damn it, I almost fell asleep. I mean, I truly could do this every Tuesday.

I could go sit on that boat for an hour and a half by myself. You should. And tinker with it, you know, play with it. You know, take some things. I mean, I probably, yeah, it was straightening some things up. It needs a few things on the wall. It does. But I got out to the pier and I get through there and I'm walking down to the boat.

And I'm like, is it weird that I've. I'm walking onto the boat that says she said no on it. Like I'm she. If anybody's watching, they know that I'm she. And how weird is that? It feels weird a little bit for me. Does it? Yeah, especially since I now kind of like the boat.

The whole thing's a little odd. I think for me, that is the tongue-in-cheek sort of joke, is that she said no, and she's now in love with it. Camping out on Tuesday nights. She said, it's kind of like, you know, oh, I don't want to go do that. And then you go and you're like, damn, that was fun. That was so fun. You know.

It's fun without the kids. I love my children. I think I talk about how much I don't want to be around my kids so much. But they're just at that age where they suck the joy out of things that are supposed to be serene and peaceful. You know what I mean? And so the boat is one of those things. And every time I've been on the boat, they have been with us. Yeah.

I love. It's very quiet and nice when they're not there. So that's a lot there. I battle. I battle with that, like, emotion of, dude, I, of course, love my kids to the end of the earth.

Yes. But there are some things that you'll do with them. We took them out on the boat. It's a houseboat, 50 foot. It's a, it's 22 years old. It's in really good shape. But it, it's, for me,

I'm not a boat person. So for me to, like, get it out of the dock and motor it around and get it out there on the channel and cruise, you know. He's got to concentrate and focus. I got a little anxiety. And he needs it to be a little quiet. But I like to be calm.

And I'm going to need Amy's help doing a few things. Yeah. So at one point, like he starts the boat from the inside of the cabin. Yeah. And there's a giant wheel, which the kids, of course, love to play with. Yeah, they want to go up there and mess with it. Yeah. Literally like this.

And so he's like, okay, you can't touch the wheel. This actually steers the boat. I'm going to start the boat. back it out of here, get it in the channel, and then I'm going to go up top, A-B. So you have to hold the wheel. If you see me throttle up just barely, that means I've got it from up top.

Also, there's not a whole lot of railing on the side of the boat. So, like, if he leaves the slider open and one of the girls decides to push the other one, she's just going to fall out, right? And so he can't leave it open to holler at me. Yeah. I just thought I need to get a little tiny intercom. We need to do something.

So we're always learning through this process, And usually the kids are around and it makes it far more stressful and hectic. And they want to help. Like they're just trying to be, you know, in the mix. So it was nice to just have. Yeah, we took them out there a couple months ago. And we park it in the middle, middle of this little sort of area off the side of the main channel. There's a couple of the boats out there.

They're just enjoying their day. So we pull up there, throw it. anchor out and go upstairs and man it is freaking awesome you can see i had gotten dinner we're eating out the table upstairs yeah we got food we're hanging out and then you got two kids like flipping over and and crashing into stuff and arguing and fighting each bag they're going to sit in or yeah fighting over the bean bag and not just like whining like punch at each other yeah can't get each other like still it's going to go overboard and it's like this had the chance to be so fun so chill and I'm look at Amy and me, but we both look at each other, we both go.

Never again. Next time we're not bringing them. And I have, and I'm like, you know, I feel bad about that, but I don't and I shouldn't. There's got to be times when, like, me and Amy can just get out and do. And, yeah, so I look forward to that. I mean, the kids, there's a time and a day when it's right to have the kids out there and we can have that kind of an experience, but also there's moments when you're like, damn, dude, I just want to go sit.

and not have that chaos with you. And just inherit, listen to the water lap against the side of the boat. Also, I want to learn to drive the boat myself. Like, that was the thing. He went down. He was going to do something. And so I was up top manning the boat. I'm like, I don't have a damn clue what I'm doing.

Not a clue. And this boat is it small. Yeah, he's going down to pull the anchor because the kids were throwing such a fit. Yeah, we were like, all right, we're getting out of here. Yeah. And so I'm like, I'm going down to get the anchor, Amy. I'm going to holler at you. You might have to pull up or this or not.

Like how I pull up? Yep. You might want to give me a little bit of a cliff note lesson right here before you take off. Yeah. Because we're not far from the shore on the backside. And it's shallow. It's a manual anchor. Oh.

So it's a throwback. It's a cool boat, man. I know it's a 2002, but when you go inside of it, Amy, I mean, if you could date the interior. Like 92. Yeah. Wow, really. Yeah. Yeah.

It's got that, it's got that like pickled paneling. Okay. And we've redone some of the things, but we didn't try to like make it. A lot of brass and stuff in the railing and so forth. It looks like a... It's just fresh and clean, but in that early 90s era, I would say. It's cool, man. It's got this neat little kitchenette, and it's just freaking perfect.

And I'm like, like, Amy, like, I'll, I'll be like, man, I got, I got this silly little thing that I want to throw on the boat. And I'm going to run over there and throw it on there. And we'll just, and then you get, you get in there. Yeah, you get in there and you're like, I'll drink a beer. I'll just out of the back porch. Yeah, I'm just going to enjoy this. I'll go upstairs and see how the radio sounds. Yeah.

And you end up being there for an hour. Yeah. If I go miss it on Tuesday nights, you never find it. I'll come over there and spend a night with you. That's not a bad idea. Yeah. It's pretty cool, man. Yeah.

I'm glad. I'm glad you liked it. I'm glad. Yeah, you should absolutely, when you're at dance, run over there and just even just to take a peek at it. The spiders build these webs around the exterior of the boat on the dock. And man, you got to stay after those. Yeah, they can do that overnight. And so it's just kind of good to put eyes on the boat and make sure everything's okay.

Well, she said no, but she likes it now. So that makes the name even better. Because now that you're in love with the boat. Well, now I don't walk to it with like this chip on my shoulder. Now I'm like, hey, boat. It's so weird. Yeah. Good.

It's your boat. Usually when I make a choice, I really believe in my choice. and it's wavering is what's making me feel awkward. It's like, who am I? Don't even know who I am anymore. All right, you want to play a game? Let's do it. All right, this game, we're bringing it back, Gen Z slang.

Genzy slang. So there's a couple Gen Z words, and you guys are going to guess. I hope you got some new ones because we're a little bit up on the Gen Z slang. Our seven-year-old is using some of these terms now. Really? All right, good. I think I got some good ones. Some that I didn't know, some that are pretty popular. And then there'll be a twist.

Are you going to say these? Because I don't know if I can pronounce that first one. I'll say these. You guys try to figure out what it means. All right. And then there's going to be a twist where we're bringing back to 80s and 90s slang and see if you guys remember what it means. Okay.

All right. First Gen Z word, Chugi. Chugi. Can you use it in a sentence? Oh, gosh. You're going to get asked that. Chewgey. Some people would say, me and Amy are Chugis.

Lovers? Weirdos? No. Dorks? No. Cheuggies. You and Amy or me and Amy? You and Amy?

Me and Amy, I think. Oh, shorties. No. Damn, got him out. He's like, dang it. That back fired. Happy lovely people. Good try.

I saw James Mounce in there for a second. He liked that one. He's a chuggy too. I saw a little chugie. Buckle bounce. It is millennials. Oh, yeah. Or something that's out of date, but millennials is...

Out of date? They would call... What the thing? They would call millennials out of date. The milk is chuggy. I'm not chuggy. How do we get there, dude? How do I get chuggy?

Out of date. At a date. Dang. Or someone who is out of date, so yeah. Next one is Unk. Unk. Uncle, like... Uncle Dale?

Trusted elder. What up? Unk? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. An older wiser? Yeah, exactly. It's like code for unk, but a lot of like younger, like Gen Z people think.

They're just quitting halfway through the word. Yeah, somebody did a quiz that was like, what is considered unc? And they're like, you know, if you're born in like 19, it starts with the 19, you're young. So that's like, that's like 25 right now. But it's a term of endearment. I think you need to also have some wisdom. Yeah, that's what they mean. A lot of like those settings are the 25-year-olds are the wise ones.

It's a compliment. It's a compliment. It's a term of endearment. Yeah, that one's popular now. This one is an acronym. So it's GRWM. Get ready with me. Yeah.

I think I knew you knew that one. That's the girly term. Yeah. I got that one quick. You guys might know this one. I watch a lot of Get Ready with Me's. Yeah, it's Fig on TikTok right now. Next one's Finna.

Fixing to. I'm fixing to. I'm fixing to. I'm fixing to the ball. I'm getting ready to do. Yeah. I'm fixing to do. So fixin's not a good.

That's not a real word either. But yeah, I understand. you're saying Dale does I'm all I am O L yeah that he's got his own what's the his own Gen Z slang is I'm all I'm going to I'm going to yeah I'm all yeah I guess the southern redneck way is you know fix him to yeah I think I think I think that term should be embraced into into the into the Gen Z slang I'm all I think you could start that for sure I'm all I have started it I don't know why it hasn't We need to make a mash up of all the clips I don't know why it hasn't taken off we need to type it I don't know why. It's not worldwide.

Prestige. Help me out, Pitbull. Help me out, pit bull. Oh, my gosh. Next one is clap back. Clap back. Like talk back? Yeah.

Like a talk back. Come back? Like a comeback. Yeah. Like an insulting way. Insulting way. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's pretty. Yeah. I knew that one. This one's funny. Chopped. Is that for a shorties too? No. I like to chopped.

Is that a hair? Is that a, um. I mean, in car world, that means they're lowered the roof. No. They chopped the car? This is more to describe someone. She's chopped? Yeah.

Busted? Is that like busted? Yeah, she's ugly. Ugly. Oh, that one's chopped. That's rude. Damn, that girl's chopped. Right?

It's mean. It also sounds like something you could order at the Waffle House. Chopped? Smothered covered, chopped and slopped, whatever. Chopped and slopped. That'd be. That's even worse. Yeah.

Oh, my God. This next one is looks maxing. It's one word. Looks maxing. Looks maxing. That's a lot. Usually Gen Z are going backwards. Not making words longer.

Yeah. Looks maxing. Like. Good looking, like fine. Yeah. Somewhat. It's like looking your best. Looking your best.

Damn, that is exactly what. Looks good looking. Looking and looking your best. Looking your best. Your looks maxing. Okay. Yeah. Your look is maxing and now we turned it into looks maxing.

Yeah. That one's weird. That's so longer than to say, you look good. This last Gen Z term, find shit. With a Y. Find shit. It's the best. No, not the best.

Look for stuff? Look for stuff. Find it. Find that shit. Find that shit. You better go find that shit. Go find it. I mean, that's what I'd say.

Find shit. Let's go find shit. I don't know. What is it mean? I mean. It means you have a crush on someone. Oh. Well, wait. Wait, what? You were not close. I was close. I got to find that.

No, the first thing I said. If you have a crush on someone, this is the way to describe that. Fine. Something that's fine. She fine? She said that. I must not feel that. But that was for looks maxing. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. No. So fine. Looks maxing is very similar. Very similar. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's try some 80s, 90s.

See if you guys remember some of these. Eat my shorts. That means like, yeah, like kiss my ass. Tubular. Cool. Totally cool. Totally cool.

Totally tubular. Motor. Motor. Motor means to go. Yeah, you got to go somewhere quickly. Oh, let's motor around. Motor on down to the boat dock. What was it?

You told me the other day. Bossin, bussing? Busin. Bopping. You said bobping. Yeah, bopping. If you hear noise, don't mind. If you hear noise, don't mind.

If you hear them noise, it's just me and the boys bopping. Is that a song? No, it's a t-shirt. Oh. That a baseball player wore way back in the 70s. Oh. Just me and the boys bopping. Motor.

Gag me with a spoon. That means it's gross or disgusting. Yeah. The very valley girl thing to say. Yeah. All that in a bag of chips. Awesome. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The most. Yeah. Let's not and say we did. We got to bring this one back. Like it's like a guilty pleasure.

No, wait, that's the opposite of that. Let's not and say we did. Like somebody asked you to do something. You're like, let's not and say what we did. Yeah, something I don't want to do. Yeah. Homie don't play. Homey don't play that.

I've said this to my kids. I don't mess with it. I don't miss with it. I don't like that. Dunkaroos. Dunkeroo's. Dungaroos are those things you eat. That's dunkeroo.

Dunkeros are those things you eat. They were the cookies with the chocolate. All right. That's my bad. It's before my time. That one was before my time. You're thinking of dungaroies. Dunkerese. That's what I am thinking of.

My dad says that. Yeah, we talked about that was. I had a nanny, and she was from up north, and she used to call them dungarees. I'm like, God, dang, stop. Because we were Wrangler Jeans, and Jeans was the word, right? Yeah. And she'd come down, she's like, put your dungarees on. I'm like, what the fuck?

I remember having them called Britches. Britches. Like that. Yeah. Britches is like the same thing. Olderies. All of us. Brits.

Yeah. Brits. Dungerese is like some 1920s. Well, Alex's dad says it. He's like 60s. That's like when pants first came out, that's what they called him. And then they got to thinking, then around 1935, they're like, you know, that's a dumb word. Sounds a little silly.

We call them jeans. We'll call them pants and jeans. Pantelonis. Pantelonis. All right. My last one, foe shizzle. For sure. For sure.

Everyone, everyone I looked up for this was like foe shizzle my nizzle. That's how they were response to it. I'm like, yeah. That was easy. It feels like these were all words from yesterday. We still say the, we still say half of this. Yeah, yeah. I think let's not say we did was so popular. Like I still call T.J. Jizzle. When I seen. Yes, T. Jizzle. That is his name. What was like 10, 15 years ago, everything was it? It's probably a little longer than that. Everything, right? Everybody was everything. You did it to everything. Yeah. And I started calling T. Jizzle. Or T. T. Jizzle. And I still call him that today.

Yeah. Just jizzle. You got to say it on the time. And I let it. It's kind of to let him know, hey, T. J. J. I'm in good a mood. Yeah. Oh, okay. See if he gets the jizzle, Dale's in a good mood. If I say, hey, T. Jizzle, what's up? What's up, man? What's up, Jizzle? That makes him know that I come, I come, I come to him in a happy mood. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. That's good. So if we don't say it, don't talk, don't. If I come to him, aggravated, it's usually just T.J. This T. You don't use his full name? Travis.

Travis. Travis. James. It's James. Hey, guys, Dale and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studio for another round of Bless your heart, and we've had a fun show today. We are ready for your questions for Ask Amy. What you got?

All right. First questions from Remy. What are your thoughts on people who bring their dogs to bars and restaurants? Oh, I don't mind that at all. No? I'm the first person to get on the floor and play with the dog. Yeah, I like it. I used to take Junebug everywhere.

Yeah. Even in Key West. I don't know what it is about a pet-friendly restaurant or bar, but it makes me feel like they're cool. Yeah. Yeah. It's like having a candy jar in the house. You know what I mean? It makes me more comfortable.

eating there for some reason. It brings up the vibe a lot. It does. I think so. We used to take Gus everywhere too in Q West back in the day. The office had a debate about this and they thought it was weird if you just brought it for like a group. But if you were trying to like pick up a girl for say, then it's acceptable. So if it's a guy, it's obvious.

Especially if it's like a puppy and they say I'm fostering it. That ain't your dog. I think that's a really cheap way to get attention. It is. I think you got to try harder than that. But girls that are not cheap. are going to see right through that. Yeah, 100%.

So if you want to pick a cheap chick, bring your dog or your neighbor's dog to the bar. They're calling girls. They have like those golden doodles or whatever dogs and they bring them out. They're calling them pick me girls now. Pick me? They want attention. So like pick me, pick me. So it's a big science to this.

There's a big science to this. Big science to this. Thanks. The next question is from Jordan. My kids are going back to school for the first time. It's back to school time. How can I prepare? for that moment watching them get on the bus and drive away.

Ooh. That is always scary and ennerving, watching your child go to school for the first time. Dale and I, we didn't have to use the bus. And so when we dropped ILA off for preschool the very first time, it was during COVID, and everybody had masks on. And they literally came to the car and took her out of the car seat. I think everyone was traumatized. Dale and I sat in the parking lot and cried.

Do you remember that? He didn't want to leave her. I'm like, she's got to go at some point because we delayed her going. going anyway because I was pregnant with Nicole. So she went in January. It wasn't even like this time of year. But it was traumatic. Yeah.

I don't think it matters what the scenario is. You are always like a little unnerved by that. But, you know, they're usually pretty okay. And they're more resilient. Like they're going to get to school and have a great time. And you're the only one that's really sad. Yeah. It's fine.

The one thing that I've learned is they will get out of the car or get on the bus. and they may be like melting down. Yeah. Melting down. And you're thinking in your eyes, you're thinking, this is how they're going to be all day. And this is just this,

this is the emotion they'll feel until they get back. Not true. The day is ruined. Dude, and they're going to hop on that bus or they're going to get out of the car and go into that classroom. And in five minutes,

they are like, they have forgotten it. They don't even, they're on to another thing. And you're, that you're all that's a distant memory but you're still sitting in the car going oh they're going to be okay yeah

half the time they're feeding off of your energy and that's why they get emotional to begin with you know that's why um so amy would take ila and all ila would always take it you know manipulate amy and get emotional she still does it i can't do school drop offline amy has a hard time like well i'm not soft i'm like get out of the car we're not doing this it's embarrassing or holding the whole line up get out of the car

and that would make her melt down more For some reason, she just hops right out of Dale's truck. Well, so the ride in, you have to play the right music. You have to ask the right questions. You know, and if you look in, I can look in the mirror and see Isla's eyes and tell if she's starting to get sad or get nervous or get anxious or worried. And you've got to start, like, you know, popping questions or, hey, you know, if you turn on some music, you know she's going to love, start singing, just to like change her thought. Dale's ammo to it to get her excited about something that's going to happen after school or the next day or this weekend. Like look forward to something else.

True. Just to distract her from her mind because she'll kind of spiral downward and it's hard to get her out. And I'm not good at that. That's the way I operate in my mind is like if I have something I'm nervous about or dreading or not looking forward to, I look at the thing past it. I look at the thing in front, beyond it that I am excited about and go, well, I can go through this. That's happening next. I can do this because this thing's out there in front of me.

And Tim Dugger's the same way as a buddy mine. And me and him both, we always need like a thing to look forward to. The next nibble. What's happening next? Dude, when I, when there's sometimes, it's rare, but there's sometimes when there's like nothing out there in front of you. And you're like, man, I'm, I'm depressed. Why am I so depressed? I find that to be peaceful.

No, I need a thing to look forward to. I don't care if it's like you and me for a couple hours on the boat, you know, out in front on a Friday. I don't care if it's a trip to Key West. It doesn't have to be, it can be giant, it can be something small, insignificant, but I need like a thing. I have to have something I can look at them. So I make the things. Like I'm making dinner and I'm like, I'm going to serve dinner over here and we're going to put candles out. Like we're going to have a candlelight dinner.

And they do that for the kids, especially when you're gone to make it just fun. I need to look at my calendar and like see a physical thing on there that makes me go. hell yeah I'm looking forward to that and I'll do anything you want me to do all the work and things and travel and whatever because I'm going there and I'm doing this when it's all over right but back to your question

they're going to be fine the best ride is going to be fine and you should plan something for yourself that morning like a brunch even with another parent or go get your nails done or I don't know who this is asking is it a girl or guy I don't know just find something to

busy your time so like get your mind of it too because your child's going to be fine. Ilas in second grade. Today was day one. Oh, okay. She gets out of the car, looks it. There's an individual that has opened the door for her. She gets out, looks up and goes, first day of second grade, grabs her back, starts hauling ass to the classroom. I was like, man, this is different from like two years ago. Two years ago, we were not getting out of the car. Every single drop-off was, is she going to get out? Is she going to get out? Is she going to cry? Is she going to get out? Yeah. So it hasn't gotten better. as she's gotten older.

Oh, yeah. She's like very extra with her emotions. Nicole piece out the very first day. She didn't look back. So, you know, it just depends on the kid. If you have a kid that is emotional like Ila was, it's probably like a two-week, maybe a month max of a bit of a struggle. It eventually goes away.

They get for them. They make friends. Yeah, they make friends in classroom. I can't wait to see Kate. I want to sleep over with her. and I want to see this friend and they start looking forward to getting with their buddies. Yeah. How about you guys?

You got any back to school memories from when you guys were a kid? Do you remember how you were? The only back to school or drop off line memory I have because we lived so close to the elementary school. Dad would just pick us up and he'd walk us home. Usually mom would drop us off in the morning go to work and then dad would pick us up and we would just walk home, which was fun. One morning mom was dropping me off and she had an old Camero. What year? Remember that? Do you remember the Camero sitting in the garage?

No. Yeah, 78. 70. 80? Yeah, something in the 70s. Yeah, so I slammed my finger in it and the door getting out, my thumb. Like, I couldn't even pull it out. They had to get out.

She had to get out of the car and undo the door latch. It was stuck right there in the latch. And so we had a substitute teacher that day, and I remember this mean lady not even let me go to the nurse's office. And my finger was bleeding. It was purple. and the fingernail eventually even fell off. And my dad came up there to pick me up and lit that lady up.

He was so mad. And that's the only memory I have of that. Oh, I have one more chewing. I think I've said this one before. I was chewing some peanut M&Ms. Same car, I think. And one of my teeth fell out and I was, I chomped it thinking it was a peanut. Oh, my gosh.

I didn't hear that. It's crazy. Both traumatic. Yeah. Geez, oh my gosh. Nothing happened again when you get old. Oh, gross. Oh, man.

Yeah, that's gross. All right. Next question. Annabel wants to know. Well, she sees low-rise jeans are making a comeback. No. She always hated them. What other fashion trends should our younger generations never bring back?

Let's help them out. Low-rise jeans, I hate. Tapered jeans are hard. So that happened when I was in college, and I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch. I remember wearing them. But I was like fit as a fiddle. And I remember wearing them home for Christmas. Like, you know, we're on the family.

And dad's like, you need to put some damn clothes on. This is not appropriate. And I didn't think anything of it because I was 18 years old. But there ain't no way I could put those on now. We'd have my butt coming out of the top of it. It'd be like a real new muffin top situation. Buck cracks be coming out of that. Major crack. High crack, low crack, all crack.

Straight crack. They don't mix. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. There's a lot of weird trends. I would rather name the things we would want to come back. What do you want to come back? You did like. What were the things, what were those things that women wore on their, on their legs when they worked out? Leg warmers? The leg warmers? The 80s? Leg warmers? Those are awesome. Like the neon colors? Yes. That'd be fun. They probably go well with that swimsuit. They should come back.

Those should come back. Yeah. Then I know for sure, I'm like, oh, Amy's going to work out. Yeah. Got her leg warmers on. Otherwise, you can't tell, huh? No. Those go right in line with, like, the tiny little, like, butterfly side shorts that, like, boys.

Like, Tom Hanks would wear these in big. You know what I'm playing basketball? I guess, yeah. Do you know what I'm talking about? And they're like the short shorts with like a little. Yeah. I don't know. Are you going to wear those?

I like bell bottom. I like bell bottom jeans. Yeah. Those are kind of. For dudes. For anybody. Oh, for, yeah, yeah. I know for girls that.

I like this, my stuff, like my, my. He used to have some pretty bellish jeans. I did. I like the, yeah, boot cut. But you wore them with the sneakers. Yeah. Boot cut with sneakers, yeah. I like, that's, yeah, I wouldn't, I didn't like huge bell bottom.

But, um, I like the 70s. Yeah. A lot of prints and a lot of shape, uh, fit and size and stuff from the 70s. I always like the corduaries. Yeah, Corroys is still cool to me. Yeah. Like,

company logos have, like, gone really simple now. And a lot of people, like, we should go back to, like, the 90s or,

like the 80s where they have these big and flashy logos and colors. Like, sports teams are like that, too. Yeah. It's interesting how things have, how things cycle. Like, I believe in things cycle.

I believe in everything, kind of is a circle and everything kind of goes around and comes back. Styles and all kinds of things. But it's, you're like, you're living it,

and you're, it's really, is literally happening. Like, Bell Bottoms left in the 70s, they came back and already gone again. Yeah, you know? They come back for really quick. You got to be honest.

Well, when the 90s trends came back and, like, everyone was doing the baby doll dresses with the little t-shirts underneath and, like, Doc Martins are back in style and all that. I'm like, oh, my God, I don't think I can do that again.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's not appropriate for me to do that again because I'm in my 40s, but, like, wow, that's kind of humbling. I remember when the beer companies did that. Like, I remember when Miller Light got their logo back. Yeah. And didn't Bud do the same thing.

Like they all go through these transformations of being really modern, and they always just end up back where they started. Yeah. And that's fun. Yeah. Speaking of coming back, cassette tapes are apparently making a comeback. Oh, shit. So they're making modern cassette tapes at some point.

Or kids are starting to wear them. No idea. But kids are starting to get, like, buy them and put songs like mixed tapes on them and make that. So Sam wants to know what you guys would put on your cassette tape. My buddy. So my friends, my friends, the Danger Summer, pop punk band out of a ball. Baltimore, or, you know, they're, when they make a new record, they'll make sets and sell.

Really? Yeah. That's cool. I mean, I remember all of the new bands making vinals, which I thought was cool. Yeah, vinals have been back, I guess, a little bit. Yeah. Vinyl's is, vinyl almost feels normalized again. Yeah. Right. When somebody makes a record, I got friends in country, pop, punk, all kinds of different places. And like Citizen Cope sent me a record the other day. And so record to me, records are like regular again.

Like, yeah, yeah. You know, they're not, it's not like a niche sort of, oh man, yeah, I got a vinyl collection. Yeah. You're not like cool and trendy if you have a record player now. It's like kind of common. So, but yeah, like the Dangerous Summer, they'll, they'll, they send me. me these little press kit kind of things

when they have a new record come out and it'll have a cassette tape in it and I'm like I don't have nothing to play this. It's like a I guess I'm collecting it. Someone's manufacturing that. I know. But I reckon there's, you know, you just got to have a vintage record or a cassette player. Yeah. I don't know where you'd play it.

Like the cars don't have those anymore. It's not really adapter. I used to have a car that had an adapter that you could play cassettes to, but. None of them work like that anymore. Yeah, they don't work like that anymore. They don't have CD players in them either. I know. I know.

I know. somebody in the chat's telling us all about this. Also, cassettes was kind of the most inconvenient one. It was. Rewinding it. Yeah. Trying to get it right in the right spot. It was just impossible.

Yeah. I don't know why that's going to be. And then pulling the strings. I'll tell you one thing that I hope doesn't come back. And if somebody in the chat just made me think about this. So if you look at photos from like 98 or 99, the sunglasses we used to wear, remember those real skinny? Yes.

So those are back. For the girls, they're back, like those almond-shaped sunglasses. They were like Oakley's and all kinds of different kinds. And they were like they looked like they were curvy, they were curvy, they weren't sharp edges. And they were like super narrow. And like you'll look at pictures of like the 99, 2000. Everyone was wearing them.

Yeah. From Sterling Marlin to all the guy, me, all the guys in the Xfinity series. To vanilla ice. I mean all the racers. Like everyone was wearing them. That was what all the brands were making. Like the metallic. Silver.

Oh, they were terrible. So bad. They were so bad. I look at pictures and I go, Hey, why was I wearing that? Never bring that back. Please don't. No.

Oh, man. All right. My last question for you from Tamila. How do you check out of a hotel? My children say there's no need to actually go to the front desk and check out anymore. I don't. So you don't have to. Unless you have like, so we were in Sonoma and we had actual physical keys versus like a card.

Yeah. So we turned those in and she's like, do you want your checkout slip? and I just said yes because she was brought to print it anyway. But they know your checkout time and they have your credit card so you don't actually have to check out. And the little card key is obsolete anyway after you check out. Wow, okay. I didn't know that. So like I, and when I was in Mexico, they made me go to the desk and check out.

But I thought maybe that was different because it's Mexico, but usually I just walk right out. I mean, if we're in a different country, like I feel like we always do those things just because it is weird. It is more odd to just pick up and leave. Yeah. Well, I don't know why that is. I don't know. I mean, I've never, I will, I will not go to the desk. Like if I can get, if I feel like, you know, I can get away with it.

But to your point, like if it's a resort or we're on a trip and it's over, if you've got a passport or it feels like you're supposed to go to the desk. Yeah, I feel like it's more polite to do that. Is there something I need to sign? Is there something that, you know, are we good? You know, because you don't want to get that call, you know, on a day later or whatever. Like, hey, you forgot this. X, Y and Z.

we needed you to sign this and that and the other. Yeah. Well, so they make you sign so much when you get there. Yeah. So you don't have to do that. So I don't think you have to. I agree. Like every time I've ever like went to the desk, there was no need.

There was nothing where I went, oh, okay, I'm glad I stopped here. But saying your proper goodbyes is always nice. Yeah. They kind of just like, oh, what's your room number? I'd see you. Like they didn't even really do anything to it. But on race weekends, like when we were standing hotels on a race weekend, I just getting car and leave.

Goodbye. Everybody just high-tailed it out of there. Yeah. I'll leave my key in the room and haul ass. I think it just depends on the type of hotel you're in. Do you like try to make it easy on the cleaning service? No, this is really bad. I don't.

I'm not a messy person. Like I will. But I am in a hotel. You are? Just because you can be? It's just, I just know they're coming to pick it up no matter what. Yeah. When me and Amy are done or every day, like when I went to Mexico, for example, like every day, I would get my bath towel and the floor towel.

the hand towel or you know and everything and put it in a little ball on the floor next you know easy to you know here's all the stuff and then i would straighten up the room like the best i could kind of like halfway make the bed back kind of like wait what you're making the bed in the hotels i mean i don't do that at home i just pull the cover up i don't like make the bed i just kind of halfway make the bed and it's kind of like a hey you don't really have to remake this yeah they're gonna they're gonna do it anyway if i'll i'll clean up a little bit yeah but if it's just under my name i'm like whatever. Dude, I got it.

That's odd. Like, usually. I think it's my, like, it's vacation, whatever. Just throw this. I'll use every towel. I imagine that person goes in there, it goes into some rooms and it is a... Disgusting.

Disaster. Yeah. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to try to make it as easy as possible, yeah. So I feel it's so obligation to, like, not be a slob. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, it's like human nature to just try to tidy up a little bit, but...

Like, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, sink out. You're cleaning for him. Again, he does not do those things at home. You don't do this at home. There's toothpaste all in the sink. Beer clippings. Oh, yeah.

Because that's my sink. Yeah. Yeah, but he knows some, he's got a maid. It's going to come clean it up. Do you guys bring your own, like, soap and shampoo? Or do you just use theirs?

I think a woman does. I bring that stuff, yeah. Women have their particular about the shampoo they use. The stuff in the hotels use are just, really dries your hair out. That's the only reason. I, you know, you'll go to, I know this is a bit about something totally

I shouldn't be b***ing about. Man, you'll go, we, we, we, I get excited when we go to Vegas. I get excited when you get, get to, let's, let's hear it. Well, I'm sure this is nothing. But, man, you go, we get excited. We're going to Vegas. Vegas is fun.

And, and I don't get to go there as much anymore because of, you know, the broadcast and my broadcast races aren't there or whatever but so anytime there's like a sponsor something i'm like hey hey hey let's go to bagas and you know has fun but man you'll get in them room and these are like supposed to be really nice hotel rooms and you'll get in there and like the the the shampoo pump don't work or you got to pump pump it down and pull it back up and you know it's like come on man you're gm like what is this yeah yeah And that's such a low expense.

Yeah. Like just give you a squeeze bottle. Yeah. Don't give me a pump. Don't work. I agree. Just give me a little squeeze bottle. That's annoying no matter where you are.

Yes. The bathroom in the shower if your pumps don't work. Yes. That's just happened with me, order and stuff. We had those in our house. Yeah. I know some of the shampoo will work and the conditioner pump won't. Yes.

And it's this giant bottle. You're like, well, what the fuck am I going to do with this now? I got to take the damn unscrew it and squeeze it off in my hand. Now I got a damn. I got five helpings of fiends of a, conditioners. A glob. Conditioners. and now I'm trying not to get water in the whole bottle as I'm doing all this in the shower with the water pouring everywhere.

It's a pain in the rear end. That's a warranted gripe. I would hate that too. Yeah. That is a good place to stop asking me for today. All right. Thank you guys for your questions. We appreciate you watching.
