Hey guys, we are here for another episode of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I are on location today. We're at our beach house and have a good show for you. We're going to talk about some funny things. Stone Cold, Swan leeches, all the fun things that have happened through the week and patient portals and how much they suck. 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. After last night, I've got to try to remember everything we were going to talk about

because last night we about erased our memory. I definitely did. Yeah, Amy and I had a few cocktails. Speaking of cocktails. Cheers. We have a jalapeno high rock cocktail. I kind of just. Made this one up.

It's really good. It's a take on a jalapeno margarita. It tastes like a kind of a light lemonade. Very good. Easy to drink. We need something easy this morning. You can visit highrockvodka.com to find a bottle near you. Actually, it's a store locator.

So if you go there to high rock vodka.com, type in where you are. It'll give you an idea of the store closest to you to go pick up a bottle of high rock vodka. In some states, we can ship. please remember to drink responsibly must be 21 or over. Last night, we turned on one of my favorite things to do in the technology that we have today. God, it's crazy. So me and Amy's been listening to music and staying up in the evenings

as long as we've been together. And, man, you used to have your whole laptop flipped open with your iTunes and clicking on songs. but these days you can use your YouTube app on your phone and play the music video on the TV. Yeah, I didn't realize you were doing that last night until closer to the end. So you can kind of control the YouTube app that's actually on the smart TV from your phone. Super cool. Because once you start listening to music with the music videos, you can't go back.

No, you can't. It changes the whole vibe for the better. Yeah. So if you're around your friends, you know, and all you got some Bluetooth speaker and you're hanging around on the beach or something, that's one thing. But if you're at the house and you want to play some music, try playing the music videos on TV. Oh, man, changes the whole thing. But we did that for a while last night. And the fun part about playing the music videos in the bar with Amy is if you don't play the right songs,

Amy is going to leave and go to bed. And so that's... So the challenge is to keep me on my first. The challenge is to play the right song that Amy goes, oh, and you know, starts dancing. Listen, I like this challenge too. It's fun. And I was off of my bar still dancing around. Oh, yeah.

Like, fool last night. But Amy needs to go to sleep. We did. We had it going. You did. It is fun watching the videos. It just is so much fun just to, like, live watching the videos that you've seen many years ago.

We always play like the older songs too. Yeah. So some nights I get off on the wrong genre and Amy goes to bed. But last night we kept it going for a while. We played, what do we play? We played, oh man. It was a bunch of 80s. Yeah, a lot of 80s.

Can't go wrong with 80s country. So the Earnhardt documentary that's been out for Amazon has been awesome. And we've been getting all kinds of great feedback on that. And, you know, we had an opportunity to interview Ron Howard yesterday on the Dell Jr. Download. So kind of interested to see how, what people thought about that interview. What was that like talking to Ron Howard? Well, I was super nervous, you know. He's not a race car driver.

And we're not talking about anything that I'm super knowledgeable about. But you just, you know, lean into your curiosity. He was kind and answered all. He gave long answers, which is what you want in interview. Somebody gives you short answers, makes it tough because you plow through your your notes real quick and you got more time to feel and not really sure what. Well, I remember watching him on Happy Days. Like we've been Ron Howard fans for our entire lives, right?

And so when you told me you got to do that, that was really fun. I thought, like, how cool is this that you get to talk to people like that? It was kind of similar to our drive down because, we're driving three and a half hours from home to here. And about halfway in, his phone's always tethered to the car because he's playing music. So a phone call pops up and it says Steve Austin.

He goes, oh, Steve Austin's calling. I'm like, Steve Austin. Stone Cold. Stone Cold's calling while we're driving down to the beach. Yeah. How, what is this life? How cool is this for you that this is just your normal? And he answers the phone.

They're chit-chat. I can hear Stone Cold because he's talking so loud. And he's wanting to talk about the documentary and DW. And he's asking all kinds of questions about, well, got into DW. Why is he so mad? And I'm like, why dare we'll say what you see it about your dad? And kind of gossip, to be honest. And I'm like, wow, this is so neat.

And I was, you know, it was grateful I got to listen in because he was talking so loud. I got to hear all the things. But that doesn't happen in everybody else's life. And it's neat to have the perspective I do sometimes so I can see all the things you get to do. But the Bron Howard thing was way up there. Stone Cold calling too in the middle of the day. Just a chit-chat was fun. You've had a lot of moments like that in your life.

I know. It's weird. They kind of come in spurts. So there'll be a lull of like, you know, kind of life being pretty regular and normal. And then something like that happens. Yeah. Yeah, these little, you know, something like the documentary happens. and all of a sudden, all these little quirky things start happening,

and then it kind of teeters off. Oh, really? Yeah, back into regular life for a while. But, yeah, that was cool, man. I hadn't talked to Stone Cold Steve Austin in years. I did his show probably three or four years ago. Yeah, down at the saloon. And he, you know, we just kind of, I see some of the stuff he, you know,

I like some of his stuff on social media or vice versa, but that's about it. And so, yeah, for him to call me. He just wanted to ask a couple questions about that documentary. Yeah, he was so curious. He's like, I got to get some answers. Yeah. He just wanted a little tea. That's so cool.

I thought that was awesome. So is he Steve Austin in your phone, not Stone Cold? No, he's listed as Steve Austin. Like a normal person, just a regular guy. Stone Cold, Steve Austin. He talks just like Dale. He goes, hey man, hey man, I talked to you about this documentary. I just watched it.

Da-da-da-da-da. What got into DW? Like, wow. He just literally just called to gossip. Yep. So, yeah, so that's, that was pretty cool to get a call from him. I've had a couple other, you know, out of nowhere kind of text messages and so forth from people. But the, so I'm sure everybody who's listening to this is probably watched that Earnhardt documentary. But if you haven't, go check it out on Amazon or Prime. me and Amy have yet to watch episodes three and four again.

We watched edited versions of three and four for months ago, but we haven't really seen the finished product. And one of the things that I've read, and so I'm apprehensive to watch three and four again, because I know. Well, they're emotional. It's super sad. And I actually see people saying that.

They're like, they're on their own social media going, I've watched three episodes. I just can't. I can't bring up. I'm put four on the TV because I don't know if I can go through this anymore. Seriously. Yeah. Our friends have done the same thing.

You know, good friends have texts and said the same thing. Wow, episode three was so hard on my emotions. They're not wrong. And, yeah. So I don't know if that's a good thing or not. You know, having, you know, usually you don't want to watch something because you anticipate it being bad, right? Or not worth your time or whatever. but it's good episode four does it it culminates you know like it brings you back up yeah it lifts you back up

it does yeah episode i forget that part i remember how it ends it's good life is good and so is the end it's kind of like it's like amy when amy won't watch scary movies with me because not that they're not good it's not they don't want to watch scary movies i don't want to watch them right before i go to sleep worried about being getting scared i like getting scared because it's an adrenaline rush listen there's difference in scared and like watching somebody get split open with like a pocket knife. You know, there's like the gory stuff. I don't really need to see. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not like gory.

Well, that's what happens in scary movies. Somebody gets chopped up or something like that. I'm like, I don't really need to see that. This went my life. I've seen enough of that. I don't want to get scared like that. I'd like good. I'd like a jump scares.

Pretty fun. The jump scares are good. But you like to watch that stuff before we go to sleep. Same thing with like a weird documentary or something. Then you might have a dream of something scary and it's like a bonus. Oh, you think that's a bonus. bonus. It's like extra movie, but in your mind, it's like, that's not how I read that. A free movie? Free movie. Free jump scares. You're so weird. Nobody goes to bed hoping to have a nightmare just because it's like, oh, a bonus edition of a movie that they watch.

I love dreaming. I love, I mean, you know, apparently you dream every night. You just don't remember them all the time. I hard. So a lot of people dream. get up in the morning and go, oh yeah, I remember what I dreamed last night, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I wake up and I never remember. Only like, I bet I could count on both hands the amount of times I remember my dream in a calendar year. It's not fair. Well. Because I'm dreaming every night, but I don't wake up in the morning and go, oh, what a great dream.

Or, man, I got to tell you about this dream. No, usually the dreams are weird. It can't make sense of it. I know, but I can't even remember them. When I do remember a dream. I'm always like, Amy, let me tell you about my dream, you know, because I don't, I don't think it's not designed to be part of your real life. Some people, I know, but some people remember their dreams easier than most.

Well, those people need more things going on during that. I would like to wake up every day and go, dang, you know, let me tell you about the dream I had last night. It was awesome. I feel like that would alter your reality a little bit if you would just like. Dude, yeah, some dreams do. Sometimes, you know, you'll, you'll dream something and you'll wake up and you feel either.

You're emotional. Emotional about it. And you're like, you're telling yourself, you're like, that didn't happen. You know, you can let go with this. Calm down. But you're like walking around going, I feel terrible. Or, you know, I don't know. Yeah, you don't come out of them feeling uplifted.

No. They're never ever, you don't wake up from a dream. And you're like that and you kind of got to tell yourself in the first half of the day, like, it's not real. It didn't happen. Like, you don't. I can move on. Timmy didn't fall down the wheel. So we got an update on the swans.

Yeah, so listen, I went to feed the swans. And you're out of town doing your job. And so I'm taking the girls down to feed the swans. And I was having a sleepover, so we have an extra girl with us. And I'm so excited because she's got a sleepover friend with us to show her the swans. You know, everybody wants to see these birds we have. And so we take the food down. It's like 6 o'clock.

We had just eaten dinner. And I noticed that when Cleo comes out of the water, she's got something hanging from her chest. I'm like, oh, maybe it's just like a piece of sludge or something because, you know, the pond's been vacant for so long. It was a leech and not just one,

but there were three hanging from her chest. They were like three. They were like an inch and a half long. They were ridiculous, disgusting, gigantic dirty moe leeches. And I'm like, of course, our swan. That's a good softball company team name. Dirtymoe leeches. Sign up Dale Jr. for some softball.

And I'm thinking, okay, of course, our swans are going to have leeches. Of course, this is something that we have to deal with. Of course, Dale's not here. Of course, this is what's happening. And I'm freaking out. I'm like, I've been down and take a video and I send it to Sunny. And Sunny's like, oh, man, I have to check on that tomorrow because it's late. and you send it to Cletus.

Cleas sends it to the swan guy. The swan guy responds. We need to get those off immediately. And I'm thinking, how am I going to do that? She won't even get close enough to you to, like, feed her. George will. He's adapted. He's all in.

He's going to come up to you. He knows you're going to feed him. Cleo is. George comes up to you? He gets real close. Really? He's not eating out of my head. Yeah.

You know he will. But he will get real close. He just sat there and waited for me to put the food in the bowl and just sat there like a dog. He is very happy to be where he is. Cleo's a little apprehensive. And I guess because she's got leeches hanging from her chest, she's not very excited to be here. She's in a dirty moe swamp, you know, but luckily the leeches fell off on their own. I didn't have to go after her with like pinchers or grab her. I'm getting like kitchen tongs. I got a pile of stuff. You're going to go to the pond, bend down near. I was going to try with some kitchen tweezers.

I had kitchen tongs. You know the things that you used to grab underneath the couch, like those silver things, and you push the end and then the claw comes out. I had found that. Oh. And so I had that ready also. And Sonny was going to help me try to catch them. I text Cletus and I said, hey, got leeches. He texts the swan guy.

Swan guy said he ain't never seen that before, but get them off. Luckily, they fell off. Yeah, Sunny thinks they were just like on her feathers and I actually took. I think that she probably pulled them off or maybe George pulled them off too. It's possible. Yeah, they've got very long neck. should probably reach that. But apparently in my research,

I learned that they do get leeches and the leeches can get in their corner of their eyes because to your point, like they can't attach on their body because of the fur or the feathers. So the leeches will find where they can't access skin and that's kind of around the eyes. We've got to keep an eye on that, no pun intended.

So anyways, swans are good. Man, they're fun. Shelly, my cousin, who is awesome, is taking care of them while we're gone. 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. I read somewhere that men who kiss their wives before leaving for work in the morning live an average of five years longer than men who don't. It sounds like men that just choose joy live longer, right? Does it seem like a global idea? Yeah. I'm going to get about 20 years out of this, though. Because you're kissing on me and the...

I kiss. I give everybody hugs. Everybody gets kisses. I'm going to live to 150. I love it. That's a good idea. You keep telling me that you're going to like, your goal is 80. I'm like, wait a second.

I'm only going to be 72. You can't leave me alone for that long. My goal. Yeah. My goal, I feel like 80 is a solid number to live too. And if you live more, you can feel like that's bonus life. Who makes these rules up for you? How did you come to that? Did you read that on the internet also? You just surmise guts up here. If I don't get to 80, I'll go, man, damn it. You know, 80 felt like a reasonable expectation. But I think I'm probably going to see the 90s. I think you will. I got a feeling. So I feel like I'm going to live old too.

My family, they're blessed with a lot of years. I mean, I had a great grandmother, it's 104. No, it was an aunt. But yeah, a lot of them lived well into their 90s, and my grandparents are all still doing it. My family has had some issues with heart attacks and stuff and strokes. Both my grandfather on my mother's side died about, had a couple strokes, or heart attacks, and Ralph obviously passed away from a stroke or heart attack.

So, kind of, I get a physical every year. And obviously, as a race car driver, you always got the physical in January. Now that I don't run full time anymore, I was a little lazy about getting my physical, and so I'm going next week to go get it. But I did go get the calcium scan for the heart, and it was zero, so that was good, because that kind of tells you if there's any blockage. What you mean by you're going to work on your food is your private chef's going to work on your diet. But you're all right with that, right?

Yeah, we're both going to. We're both going to eat better. Dude, it's so crazy. So, you know, when you have kids. I know, you just start eating whatever. It's just like. When we didn't have kids, our cupboard had anything, everything that we needed to be eating or should be eating, right? And it was easier to say no or not even buy things, right, that you didn't need to eat.

But with kids, I don't know how to explain it, but. We got to have things that go in the lunchbox. You have to have things that stay like or shelf stable, right? Yeah, they can do dairy breads and cheeses and all the things that, you know, you kind of got to manage. Yeah. Like I will, I'll, candy and holidays and just piles of candy coming in certain times. of the year and you're like, oh, I can't eat any of this.

No, I'm going to eat it. I shouldn't eat that. I do the same thing with just the mac and cheese. My gosh. I mean, yeah, I'm going to have a couple bites of that. And if she doesn't finish it, I'm going to finish it for her because it's delicious. The kids are having pancakes for lunch and French toast and I'm over here eating Mindstrone soup or whatever that.

Minestrone. Mindstrone. What's how you say it? Ministrone. Yeah, I'm over here trying to. to lower my cholesterol. Kids are eating powdered sugar dough. By the way, we go.

So we do go to lunch yesterday. We run the kids around doing errands and we sit down at lunch. It's late. It's already 1.30 or something. And they get pancakes and bacon. And they all goes, yeah, that bacon, ugh, high cholesterol. Like, don't shoole all over there at lunch just because you can't eat it.

I had to say it out loud. It just like blurt it out. I looked at it. I was like, oh, man, all that cholesterol. And Amy's like, stop it. Don't say that in front of them. I'm like, I can't not say it. I got to say it so I don't want to eat it.

Because I want to eat it. I want pancakes. That's the thing about him. He can't see the pile of candy that's not for him. He can't see the junk food in the pantry that's not for him. And the bacon on the plate and not feel like, oh, well, obviously I'm supposed to be eating that too. I'm over here eating leaves and leaves and fruits and vegetables, plate of, you know, some fish on there. and Nicole's over here with a plate of pancakes

and won't put syrup on it because she doesn't like syrup. I'm sitting here going, I can't even eat the damn syrup in the pancakes and she won't even eat it right. I'm like... Well, it's got powdered sugar all over. She didn't eat syrup, but she's eating it in like a frisbee,

you know, she just picked it up like a slice of meat. So I was talking about the going to get the physical. So you get your blood work done. Yeah. And then you get your results. Yeah. And I'm trying, but I've got a physical coming. I've got a physical coming in next week.

And so I'm talking to my doctor in this patient portal on my phone. I think that's so weird. It is. I used to have my doctor's number and would call him. Talk to him. Hey, man. Yeah. Do I need to worry about this?

Yeah, like a normal conversation. Totally. He retired. New guy comes in. They get bought or they're part of something, some, a big system. Big system. So you can't call the guy.

You, he sends you notes in the portal. And you get your blood work results through the portal too. So you can see him before you even talk to your doctor about it, which is. We've talked about this. I'll go get my blood work or anything, right? And you'll get the test results before the doctor, you know, you get the test results and you go looking at it and you're like, oh, okay, that's out of range. What does that mean?

You know, and you're Googling and it's scaring the shit. A chance to spiral before you actually talk to anybody. And you're like, oh, dude, I need to talk to my doctor. And you can't. But he will send you notes. So, like, I got my test results. Three days later, he sends the note. Hey, man, you know, this is good.

Everything's good. This is good. This is good. You know, we'll talk about this. It could probably fix this, work on this. And I'm like, yeah, okay, good. And I was like, I was like, well, that one thing.

elevated because, so apparently you're not supposed to, before blood work, you're supposed to just like drink a ton of water for like a long time so you don't get dehydrated results. You don't have sex 72 hours before or so. You can't eat for 12 hours before your blood work. You probably shouldn't, you know, you probably should eat really smart for about three, you know, two or three weeks. so your results are relatively all flat and level. Like you wouldn't want to eat about, you know, three fried chickens two days before you go in there, right? So, you know, well, we didn't adhere to the sex part, right? So this one thing was elevated and I was like, hey, in the portal, he's talking to me.

And I'm responding in text as well. And I'm like, yeah, well, that one thing might be high because I didn't have sex. you know, within 36 hours of the test. I'm thinking I'm having a conversation with my doctor. And all of a sudden... And already talking about literally intimate things. Yes, intimate things. And then another person replies, I guess, like his assistant or lady,

she goes, y'all can talk about this when you come for the visit. And I was like, what? Someone else is here? Yes. Who are you? Yes. Who are you? Did you get in here?

I mean, I thought this was a conversation with my doctor. And it was. And he was responded. He was. And he asked you all these questions. He did. And she's like, not, not today. J.

Your Honor. I can talk about this. I was like, oh, my God. I have been feeling terrible about that since. Well, she should feel terrible for interrupting your conversation. It's a weird thing. The portal is weird, but that takes it to a whole new level. It felt like it was like this private lockdown conversation.

All of a sudden, there's a new person. We're talking about blood work. We're talking about, you know, personal details around all of that information and data. That alone felt like it should just be a me and him conversation. And he is asking me stuff and talking to me in this, in this. It's like a text thread. Portal. And I was like, oh, well, all right.

You know, well, I did have, I did do, I did have sex. So maybe that's why we got that reading or whatever. Nope. More people were in there. Yeah. And it was a female, too. That was the other thing that made you feel comfortable. I can't wait to go. Who was his nurse or something? I can't wait to go to my physical and have a conversation about this because I'm going to.

I can't believe you didn't write back in there like, who the hell are you? Well, I might. I still can. Yeah, you should. I would. Sure. I'm going to go and I'm going to open it up and say, hey, man, who is this lady? Can I see her? Where is she? Or is she at? Is she in the building? Do we know this?

And why is this not a one-on-one conversation? And when can I have that? Because that's what I need, right, with my doctor. Especially at my age, as you get older, right? We're going to be doing all kinds of. I always used to think, like, no way I'm going to be that way. When I get older, I'm just going to adapt and go with the flow with all the things. It is just something you're not willing to do.

It's not that you're not capable. You just don't want to. Like, I don't want to do this portal thing. I want to talk to someone. I know. Well, you know, I had a, our old doctor, incredible guy. You know, saw him forever, and we had a relationship. This new guy, maybe it's just going to take a while.

I have his number. I text him, but maybe he's changed his number. I'm going to ask him when I'm at the physical, I'm going to say, hey, can me and you, can I just talk to you? You know, I mean, I know he probably can't do that with every patient. but I don't know. I don't know. What's the difference in doing that and then doing it in the portal?

Right. Yeah. Same process. Because I certainly don't need, I don't want to have a conversation in Sandra come buttoning in. That was funny as hell. I couldn't wait to share that. We had our first dance recital. So the girls have gotten into dance.

I thought so when we've, you've taken them to this, to the dances and stuff and I've been over there a time or two and it's a classroom. I must say there's 10, 12 kids in there and they're in this little building. I felt like when you said we're going to go to a dance recital, we were going to go see that 10 or 12 kids do a dance. In that classroom, in the studio. Maybe it would be okay. It would make sense to me if we were at a different location, but it would be small and

intimate with the families of those kids. No. No, it's a full-on production. I had no clue. Yeah, so dance recitals back when I did them, and a lot of, and still do this, like the entire studio company will put on a show. So it's like three hours long. There's an intermission.

The dancer studio that we go to has split it up. So like there's a one hour show in the morning and the afternoon. And they kind of divvy it out that way so that, A, everybody can fit in the audience. And it's not so much to sit through. We went to Statesville High School, Enemy Territory. I'm from Mooresville, Moorsville, Moresville, Mors is Senior High, Blue Devils. and so having to keep my hand on a swivel over at Statesville High School. Just in case you run into any school friends or what?

No, no, just because I'm a Moresville guy. Is it really? It's a state school territory. It was a nice school. It was a really nice school, huge auditorium. So when we got there. It was insanity. Well, when we got there, yeah, the line was long and apparently they're letting people in a little at a time.

So you had to check your girls in and they take them to the back. And there's stage moms back there that have volunteered to help them, like, in and out of their costumes and the whole thing. So you don't even go backstage with them. You just check them in and drop them off. And then you have to get in line to get into your seat. So we have tickets. We know we're going to get a seat. But you have to stand in line.

And they're only letting a few people in at a time so that the moms don't fight over the seats in the audience. That's hard to believe. That's true. That's what Tamla told me. And so she actually had an issue with the lady in front of us. Oh. It's like the right in front of you. Each family gets three tickets.

If you want more tickets, you have to buy them. No problem. She puts her purse down in one seat. Well, the people to the left of her came in and they had like seven or eight people and they took some of her seats. And she comes down with her husband and her son and says, excuse me, these receipts were saved. And the lady's like, oh, I just saw the one purse there. I didn't realize you needed more seats. And she goes, well, I did get three tickets.

And so they had like a situation. And Tamla got to witness the whole thing. So she was there early enough because she's done this before. And she saved us seats. Or we probably wouldn't have been sitting in the back too. But it was quite a production. That was more of a production. I felt like then the actual show was getting in and getting some seats.

When we walked in there, it was maybe one, one-tenth full. And then most everybody was kind of sitting down toward the front. It's a big auditorium. See, how many people you think fit in there? A thousand? 800, big. It's big. I got up to pee.

No, you got up to go to the airport. I got to leave, but I peed on the way out. So I have to go to the airport to go to fly to Nashville and do the practice and qualifying show. And so I've got to leave. I can't stay. I want to stay. I want to see the girls. He watched Nicole and then literally darted.

Yep. Susan Nicole was done. I got up in the middle of a break between skits and I stand up and I turn around. And it is a sea of people, faces, heads, everybody, just people standing up in the aisles. I mean, there is no room. Really? Yes. Oh, wow.

It's packed. Very, all the way to the back. Okay. And I'm walking out there and I'm like, yes, yes, I don't. Yeah. You talk to everybody? No, I'm just, they're just looking at me. They're like, where is he leaving?

Damn. Said no real. There's a little bit of, where's he going? damn that that looks like there was like 40 of those and I'm like it's me

yep I'm going to the bathroom yep bye bye I'm like oh my gosh so many people had no idea there was that many people in there we've been sitting there watching the whole thing yeah I didn't either we didn't turn around look but I was I was like not expecting the recital to be that big of a deal that made me

so proud of the girls because I'm going to tell you for four years old, seven years old, it don't matter. If I had to walk out on stage and seen that many people, my ass would have ran out right off stage. Like I would have not went out there and danced in front of all them people. Ila sang. Ila sang. So that's the other thing about Ila.

She told me, she's in a Broadway kids class. And of course, like I imagine that she's singing or doing a little acting or something. But she is one of those children that will not tell you what's going on in her and school or in dance or anything. Like she wants everything to be a surprise. Unless there's an issue, she's not bringing it home. You can ask her all the questions you want. She is locked up.

And so she told me that she wanted her dance recital to just be a really big surprise. Well, we go for rehearsal, and they put these little head mics on them, and they take a tape or put whatever kind of tape to the side of her face. And so she comes out of rehearsal, and she's got these giant red marks on her skin because she's not sensitive she is. and I'm like, what's going on with your face? And she goes, oh, it really hurt when they pulled the tape off. I'm like, tape, what do you have tape on your face for?

She goes, well, the microphone. I'm like, what microphone? She goes, really? I'm like, what do you have a microphone for? She goes, well, I sing. I'm like, you sing? Are you the only one singing? Because Stella didn't have red marks on her face.

And she's like, no, we all sing. We have like microphones. And Stella comes out and she starts telling me the whole thing. And Ila's like deflated. She wanted the whole thing to be a surprise, but rehearsal ruined it. But yeah, she's like walking around like with a bandana mic on her on her head, just singing away, doing stage tunes. It was.

Yeah, it was awesome. Her saddle was awesome. Proud of my girls. All right. For a game this week, we're going to bring back real or fake bar names. Tim's is going to read us a name along with the description and a review. And then Dale and I are going to try to guess to see if it's real or not. All right.

Our first bar, Burp Castle in the East Village. Burp Castle? Burp. Burp. Castle. The bartenders will shush you at this bar for talking too loudly. It's a bar where they encourage you to talk to others, not over others, and enjoy a nice beer in a quiet way. Real or fake? Burp Castle. I feel like the name is false, but the rest of it, I feel like I've heard before. I think burp castle is real. It is real. What? The burp castle? Why didn't they call it the burp castle?

The name doesn't fit the description at all. No, it doesn't. Because that's pretty loud. Some people will really loud. Our next one is going to be the clumsy bartender, drawing inspiration from the everyday mishaps of bartending. Our name the clumsy bartender pays homage to the relatable experience of spills and tumbles. Real or fake? Fake. Real.

That is real. Where is it? These damn games we play with Alex where it's real or fake. There's no fake. There's no fake. There might be. be fake. No, they're all your, you're, hey, let's-

Don't attack him. No. We ain't even halfway through the game. It's impossible for a bar to sound not fake. Some of the bar names are crazy. They are crazy. I've never been to a bar either where they had like a descriptive, tone of how you're supposed to behave in there either.

Have you? In New York City, yeah. There's a couple. Yeah. Yeah. A couple. All right. Next one.

I don't think one's going to be fake. Okay. Let's see. Skinny Dix is the next one. Sorry, what was the name? Bless it. Sorry, what was the name? Skinny Dix in Fairbanks, Arkansas.

You can't say that fast enough. It would be a weird word to say so. It's a funny. I think that's fake. One of the best stops on our trip is a review. Not a place for the easily offended, but if you have a dirty sense of humor and enjoy drinks and dive bars with friendly people you'll love this place.

Is skinny dicks? I think it's real. It's real. It is a real bar. See, there are no fake ones. Do you want to go to skinny dicks? No. All right.

Next one is the Buzzkill bar in Portland, Oregon. If you're expecting a wild night, this probably isn't it. But it's exactly why locals love the Buzzkill bar, chill vibes, decent drinks, and zero pressure to dance. Real or fake? Fake.

I don't know. I want to go real. That is fake. It's fake. They all got a favorite. That sounds like a terrible business idea. Yeah. So does skinny dicks.

I mean, who must to go hang out with the skinny dick? Buzzkill bar? Well, what about the burp? The burp bar. I know, but it's like, hey, man, come here and don't have a good time. All right, I got two more for you. This one is the mayor of Scareddy Cat Town. A unique cocktail bar located beneath the Breakfast Club Spitafelds in London.

Real or fake? Real. I was going to go fake till you. I said London. London. Is it real? I'm going to go fake. It is real.

It's real bar in London. Real. Weird. Say the name again? The mayor of Scareddy Cat Town. The mayor of Scaredy Cat Town. Interesting. We'll have to ask Jimmy about that one.

Yeah. Don't go check it out. It's a long name. Our last one. Thank you very much in Memphis, Tennessee. It's a pop-up bar. And the quote is, I had no idea what to expect, but thank you very much. Ended up being one of the coolest pop-ups I've ever been to.

It's only around for one weekend. And the only way to get in is if you're dressed like Elvis. It's an Elvis-themed pop-up bar. Real or fake. I think it's fake. It's real. It is fake. Dang.

The one weekend, only open for one weekend is why I felt like it was fake. Oh, okay. It's a good idea, like an Elvis bar. I do believe there are Elvis themed pop-up bars, but this is not. Sure. Sounds like a good... Especially in Memphis. Idea.

Yeah. All right. That was real or fake. Appreciate that, Tim's. Let's move on. We're going to go to Ask Amy. Are you ready, Amy? I'm ready.

Let's do it. You're going to get some good questions here. Tims. you can kick it off. All right. Our first question is from Isaac. And if someone narrated your day-to-day life in real-time, who would you want the voice to be? Is someone narrated our life in real-time?

Yours. Just mine? Yeah. Oh. Mary Poppins? What does she sound like? She's got a British accent. Oh.

It might make it sound a little more glamorous than it actually is. I got you. Would you do the remake of Emily Blunt? I think she played Mary Poppins. last one. Oh, yeah. She's got a great accent, too. I think I'm going to go Julie Andrews, like the original.

I think I do Sam Elliott. Sam Elliott? That's a good one. Our next one, Samantha. She's in a group chat with a bunch of her friends, and it's been weirdly quiet lately. She wants to know how do you keep adult friendships going when everyone's just busy? So what we do, we have a group chat like that. And we just tried to brunch every now and again.

We used to do it like once a month. And then everybody had kids. So we just try to do it like once a quarter or something. And it's like, hey, brunch date. Whoever can make it makes it. But we just text each other about all life things possible. Like somebody's throwing a birthday party. Somebody needs to figure out where to get cupcakes or something.

We just throw it in the chat. And honestly, a group of women can help you literally figure out anything. So we're not going to take it personally that we can't see each other that often. When you see each other, it's just like you pick up where you left off. But anything fun, bunco, brunch, a pool date. I think you just kind of have to adapt to the change and pace, you know, and don't get offended. And then just texting each other and say, hey, just thinking about you. It's good enough.

Yeah. Some days you just need that. Our next one is from Tyler, and he needs some advice, really big advice. He's getting ready to move in with his girlfriend for the first time. And is there any advice on little things that make a big difference when sharing a space? Put the seat down. Put the lid down. The lid and the seat.

Just start from the top. Start from the... You know, if she asked for the seat, give her the lid, too. Because it's coming down the road. Yeah, close the toilet. Yeah. So when you move in, she'll just say, see, when you get married,

that's when the lid part has to start going down. Might as well just start from the beginning. You're going to be a big hero if you just do the whole thing at first. Yeah. The only other thing I remember when we moved in together, that was the transition for you, was sharing the closet. So, like, there's the closets.

He coughs. He's like, I'm out. I have a giant closet. The closet's huge. There's not a lack of space. Amy had, when Amy first moved in there, she had like one tenth of the closet. I mean, he was not giving me space.

I'm like, I'm a girl. I have stuff. And it was like every six months, I'd be like, hey, man, I open up this rat for you. Because I would have piles sitting in front of it. I'm like, hey, I kind of need this space. So like over the course of like 12 years, like she's just kind of like gotten a little chunk here and there and here and there. Yeah. That's about even.

No, we're about even. You have, you still have a little bit better space, but it's not a big deal. The biggest part of that, though, was the shoes. He used to have a lot more shoes than he has now. And he had literally every color of A6. Is it the tiger? Yeah. AIC, Mexico 66.

The 66 shoe. So, like, he had a rainbow. And they were in color-coded order. Like, they looked like a rainbow of shoes in the shoe closet. And I'm like, I need some shoe space. He's like, oh, he like huffed and puffed over that. That was a big hard thing. He was like, how am I going to decide what shoes get rid of?

T-shirts, fine. I can get rid of a bunch of T-shirts, but I can't get rid of my shoes. So that was like the biggest dresser, I think, was the shoes. I don't know. Moving in with somebody's hard. Don't make it too hard. Yeah. I'm going about it.

Well, that's one from Kerry. Is there a song that Dale likes that you can't stand? And he plays all the time. Oh, tons. Is there a song that Dale likes that I can't stand? Lots of them. Don't name anything. I'm just trying to think of...

I'm not going to hurt anybody's feelings. I'm not going to hurt anybody's feelings. I listen to a lot of scream-o music. Pop punk and there's some, you know, hard alternative and stuff like that. It's not that there's a song in particular that I don't like. It's just his timing usually. We're never on the same page with the music.

We get into the car to drive down, and he's doing the thing that he says he does. He's got the music blaring. It's all in his corner, blah, blah, blah. And the girls are on their iPads. Everybody's... There's so much noise. The dog's panning in the back.

and I'm over-simulated and he starts tapping on the dashboard. I'm like, I just gently just put my hand over on his arm. I'm like, please stop it. I've got to dare tell him to stop it. I got to show Amy that not only am I good looking, I can also play the drums to the beat of the song in the car. The dashboard drum is probably the most annoying music he plays. Is it like a time of day thing too?

Why do we have to beat on the car? Let's just go. I feel like I have to show you that. I'm talented, coordinated. This also could be put in the, we're going to move in together. Yeah. No way to fold them. Yeah.

Is it a time of day thing too where like in the morning if he's listening to Screamo or some hardcore rap or something? It's like a little extreme for the start of the day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He, he, we've discussed this before. He feels like he's got to set the tone. Yes.

Instead of reading the room. and like, you know, going with that flow or helping it to come. Like, if we're all stressed out, the last thing I need is scream at music and, like, music. Banging on the dashboard or the console, that's, like, going to send me over the edge. And he thinks it's a distraction. Yeah. Music changes my energy.

Like, I'm, like, directly plugged into whatever the sound of that song is. Yeah, so same. but if you're playing like screamo music, it makes me want to rage. That makes me want, that makes me like feel more energized. Like I've taken a five-hour energy or something. Listen, if I'm going to go run outside,

I'm going to put that music on. But no, not trying to get my day going. I need to get my day going, so I need something to give me some energy, like music. Yeah. It's usually just the time. Yeah. If I need to chill or want to chill, I'll play some Gordon Lightfoot or get something easy going.

It brings me down. But if I want to get up, I got to play something that's got some energy. I got one more question for you guys. Ryan wants to know, you have an alien visitor for the day. What is the one Earth experience you'd show them? An alien visitor? Yeah. Ooh.

I'd probably give them some jerky boys. You're not going to take him around Bristol? The greatest beef jerky in the universe. It beats all the alien jerky. I guess if I have an alien visitor for the day, I'm just going to send him in the car with Dale and see what happens. I'm going to play on some dangerous summer. Give them some jerky. And then show them the, then I'm going to show them the Richardson 112.

Man, you get a load of these hats. These are awesome. I think Dale's cocktail just kicked in. That was fun. The high rock just got in there. Right at the end of the show. Anything Amy? What are you going to do?

Robert Dale. Yeah, I think I'm just going to strap him to Dale. I'm going to literally strap the alien to Dale's back and just make him do whatever Dale does. He's going to have way more fun. That would be fun. That's all I got for asking me today. All right.
