Hi guys, it's Dale Jr. and Amy, and we're in the Dirty Mo Media Studios for another round of Bless Your Heart. We have a fun show today. We're going to talk about a couple of random things that happened over the weekend, Mexico, Vegas, Hershey Park. And we have a really good cocktail to share with you guys. 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. All right. All right. So the cocktail today is the drink of the week. Presented by High Rock Vodka is the Raspberry Lemonade Spritzer. Well, those things all sound good. So let's give it a try. Yeah.

Very light. It is light. Yeah, like if you were hanging out somewhere hot by the pool. It's a great pool drink, for sure. It's really good for that. You could have several of those. So the ingredients for this drink is one and a half ounces of high rock vodka And I just got a photo today of many bottles

You want to see it? Oh, yes. We've been waiting and waiting and waiting for minis. So one and a half ounces of high rock vodka, three ounces of lemonade, one ounce of club soda, And fresh raspberries, which we didn't have any raspberries today. You can do fresh berries if you found some of those. That's bearish. So let me show you these mini bottles.

Well, that's so exciting. Yeah, I know you can't wait to see that. Oh, my God. They're so cute. Yeah. So those are shipping to us or those? No, I can't send me a photo. So I posted it.

Got it. You can look on my Instagram if you're curious to see the same photo on my story. But High Rock Vodka is a product that me and Amy have equity in. We're not spokesmen. We actually are part of the business. And if you're interested in trying our brand and trying out our vodka, you can go to high rock vodka.com. There's a search engine on there to be able to help you find a bottle near you, a locator.

And remember to drink responsibly, responsibly. And you must be 21 and over to do that. If you're under 21, that's irresponsible. So, yeah, go go find a bottle. take a picture tag us tell us what you think well how was mexico ralph mexico man you've been gone a lot um even since you got home you've been gone a lot we haven't a chance to really talk about all the fun details yeah so i'm sorry i this is uh you know we kind of um got back into the broadcast game and really wasn't sure uh probably

didn't it's like mixing a drink maybe we didn't have the ingredients all balanced perfectly, so I've been really busy, busier than I thought I would be. We're right in the middle of this 10-week stretch between Amazon and T&T. Amazon's coming to an end. We're going to Pocono this weekend for the last one, and we're all kind of sad. Really? It's been gone. It is.

I know that, so I haven't had a chance to really talk to you about this much, but the, first off, I mean, the reception that we've gotten over the product that we put together with Prime has been amazing. It's been great. It has. And I think all of us involved are a bit taken aback by, you know, how well it's been received. Well, it's kind of a refreshing thing to have so much positive, you know, feedback. And some of us are back working for either the very first time or for the first time

in a long time, like myself. And so a lot of us are just happy to be working together and working. And, man, it's just been easy. Everybody's had fun. There's not been one little weird thing, not one little, you know, there's nobody in the groups like got this weird vibe. It's awesome.

Yeah. And so we're all kind of happy that it's happened, but sad that it's so quick. But then we're going into TNT, some of the same people, at least the booths at least, will be all the same. And so there's some excitement around that.

But anyways, I know you were asking me about Mexico, but I'm in my feelings about my Amazon deal, coming to the end. You can always see your friends if you just want to hang out. It's working together and doing a job and getting done and hearing people go, that was a great job is something we're going to miss. Well, sometimes you've got to leave them wanting more, you know what I mean? Well, yeah.

Even for you, it's like good to have, end on a high note. It is such a small window. It is a very small, like, stint of time and part of the season is very small. But anyhow, we went to Mexico. It's a long story, but I'll try to briefing it up a little bit. The travel there was kind of difficult, but I'm not going to complain too much about that because I think later in the show we're going to get into a real hellelacious travel story that I'm not involved in.

Well, I hear that some people had a bad experience with travel to Mexico. Some of the teams had a hard time. Yeah, yeah. It's easier when you're just traveling by yourself versus like with a bunch of people. Yeah. It was, so travel, the travel started unraveling for several people, including some of my coworkers. And so we all kind of, everybody did everything they could. Some teams hired, charted their own planes.

But everybody figured a way to get down there. NASCAR even had to change the schedule and push things back. To allow the people that were still not there yet. Mm-hmm. Which was wowed, you know. But, you know, we ended up getting down there and honestly, my travel was fine. mine was fine and when we got off the plane though

it was pouring rain and dark so we were really were we flew in and you could see the city but as soon as we got a plane went through customs it was black outside yeah but uh pouring rain

we get to the hotel check in hotel rooms are nice oh everything's nice even like their portojohns are even better than ours like really use a lot of port-a-johns in our at the racetrack in our TV compound. There's rows of port-a-johns and there's specific ones for the ladies and the rest of the crew.

And that's where we use the bathroom all weekend. And so their port-a-johns are like freaking nice. They're even built nicer. Take away from Mexico. No, the protajons. Well, I'm just saying, like, they're even better put together. Ours are always, this is just a microcosm of like, the whole thing. Like, ours are always well used and cleaned up a little bit, and here you go.

And it's good enough. These guys were like brand new, but they were even more elaborate, like nicer, like the, like just nicer inside. Like what you would find at a wedding versus just at a racetrack? Yeah, but it was a straight up port-a-john, square plastic thing. Oh, okay. Like not a trailer. Oh. But they just, I mean, yeah.

So that was a great impression right out of the gate. And I was like, all right. And so we go, this never happens. We, in the garage, there's on the back side of the pits between the pits and the garage, there's a three-story suite and the TV booths and all that stuff, which is traditional for some racetracks. Well, at the top level of that, they had a giant cafeteria where anyone in the garage could go up there and eat.

Everyone was up there eating Josh Barry, drivers, friends, crewmen, TV people. At lunchtime, it was a giant buffet. It was great food. What kind of with, like tacos? What are we doing? Yeah, like just not nothing crazy just, but like to traditional Mexican fare? No, no.

It was just like a big buffet, walk up serve, potatoes, just different stuff, some fried and grilled food. Oh. Just different things. Nothing like, it wasn't like, hey, we're going to really. blow their mind with this Mexican food. It was just like, here's what I would be hoping for. Here's some nice food to eat.

Otherwise, you know, you're on your own. Yeah, well. But so they fed the whole garage. That happens at no other racetrack. Right. Zero. That was massive. So everybody had plenty of good food to eat, an easy place to go get it.

And they had this taco stand that was on the floor of the garage right behind the trucks. And every, in the line was massive. and everybody kept saying that I never had one, unfortunately. I tried all weekend to make it. I find that ridiculous. You can get yourself a Martinsville hot dog, but you can't get a taco. I have a hard time. Like, I couldn't physically get myself to the taco stand,

and I'm not going to say, hey, can somebody go get me some tacos, right? I'm just not going to do that. I'm trying, I just got my new job back. I'm not going to be this like, draw. Also, hard for me to understand, right? I'm not going to be this like. Diva. Diva.

Yeah, like, hey, feed me. Go get my food. But there was a taco stand, and everybody that ate there said it was the best tacos they'd ever had in their life. And they had a little social media, NASCAR did a little social media around the specific taco stand, but apparently it was a big deal lying forever as soon as it was even close to lunch. And so there was some really, that never happens. I mean, there's some pretty okay places to eat on racetracks like Texas has some pretty decent food on the interior. Yep.

But most of the time, man, you're on your own. So you were really well taking care of. of. Yes. And a lot of hospitality. Just a lot of hospitality. All of the staff at the racetrack, all of those people, their locals working from the city moot coming in every day.

They were completely, like, helpful. And just really, everybody was just trying to make everything convenient. The celebration for the win with Daniel was amazing. So if you watch the race, you saw it, but they had this big section of the race. which was a stadium, and that's where they have concerts like Taylor Swift and so forth. Well, the stage is permanent. So we got to go up on the stage where they have Taylor Swift concerts and all these other things and look out across into that bowl of a stadium and celebrate a podium and a victory and all that.

So I just, I got to see so many cool perspectives, like as a car owner that won a race that weekend and see, get close to Daniel's celebration. he's, you know, he's so proud to have been able to win and succeed. Yeah, for him, for sure. He had, I mean, think about it. He goes into, he's going to Mexico City. His, the industry that he loves and wants to be so embraced by. Yeah.

And he's made so many close friends there are coming to his house. And he wants them to all have a great time, right? And he's hearing all of this sort of push back and all the, well, what about this? What about that? But he wants everybody to come and see it and have a great time, right? So he's getting pulled in a lot of different directions emotionally. And on top of that, all the people that are there, all of the locals are going to be pulling for him to win.

Sure. Tons of pressure. I mean, he's getting it from all sides. So for him to win that race, I was so relieved for him. I didn't even think about it until he crossed the finish line. I was like, oh, wow. Wow, yeah. This is awesome for him.

This is awesome for us. And then he crossed the finish. I'm like, damn, this is really good for Daniel. imagine the pressure he must feel and now he gets to do this pinata and all that thing you know yeah that was the coolest thing from the highlights was watching him break that

across his leg and then just spray the candy everywhere I've never seen anyone break a piñata like that that's his kind of his thing when he wins so that was cool it was great we had um we had a we went down from the hotel about two blocks to this steakhouse

amazing amazing steak great steak and then oh is this the night that you had the dinner No, no, no, I'll tell you about that one. Went to everybody, everybody, went to this steakhouse. Top, top steakhouse. Great steak. A-freaking amazing. You know what they put on the table before the steak come out?

A-1 steak sauce. Before it even came out. That's a big, it's a big, if you to all you people that say I'm an idiot for eating 8-1 steak on a good steak. Like there's rules you're not supposed to have it on a good steak. Yeah. They're like, oh, you don't need that. Well, if you go to a good steakhouse in the States here, they will, like, get snarky with you if you ask for it.

And people will tell you, what an idiot. Or you just even asked you. Have you even tried the steak yet? Oh. Yeah. I'm talking to somebody at the table, and Russell, tax feeling's showing. He goes, look. And he points to A1 on the table.

And I was like, holy shit. They won here. And this, I know this is going to be a good steak. Did Steve sit in order his steak medium plus like he does at other places? Do you do that in Mexico? So in Mexico. in Mexico that I was told

that all of the so the medium, medium rare, all that stuff is a step down. So if you get a medium steak, it's probably going to be more rare than what you think, right? Yeah. And so everybody was encouraged

to upgrade a step. Okay, so I'm a well-done chick. Like, what would I say? I think, I asked for a well-done and the guy goes, really? I was like, yeah.

And it came to me and it still had some pink in it. Oh, right. So like, I'm screwed. Well, you can go well, well, done. I don't know what the next step is. Yeah, freaking burn it. Torch it. Yeah, tell them, tell them to do it. I don't know. But it was, that was

great. And and then the night after the race, so the race ends and we don't fly out until the noon the next day. And so we had all been talking about this. There's a lot of buddies in the, in the

compound that we all, you know, backslap and high five all all weekend long. And we're like, hey man, we're They, they, as you're going back and forth from the Porter Johnson tacos. Yeah, we're back slapping and high-fiving all the time. And so those guys have been to this little sports bar sort of thing next to the hotel.

And they're like, hey, man, we got a place after the race to go to. We've been checking it out. And I was like, all right. And so I looked at it on Yelp and it was cool. It's just a regular, like a TGI Fridays, I guess, a couple more TVs, some sports. They had the IndyCar race on. So we go there after the race and drank Modellos. and whatever Mexican beers they had

and had a great time just kind of hanging out and backslaping and high-fiving and talking about our race and how great that we think the race went. So that was fun. Got up the next morning and came home. Were you home over? Oh, yeah.

I mean, yeah. I mean, I was, I think I didn't have any light beers. Well, that makes me feel better. I drank the heavies. About my experience. There was one night. So there was one dinner. Yeah.

And this was a dinner that the Amazon hire-ups put together. So it's going to be one of those deals where you show up and there's a table of 15 or 20. It's going to be a long thing. And which you know me, I like to sit down, order, get to check, and get up and leave before anyone else has even got their, you know, finished their plate. I'm ready to go. But, you know, it's, we're going to go to this dinner. So everybody's in the cars and we're riding over to this restaurant and we get to the curb and we get out and we go in the door. And in the door, it's the boutique that used to work at.

It's like lavender? Lavender. So it's like a small like just boutique for women's clothing? It was a small clothing. We walked into the door and there was like swimsuit rack. blouses, hats. Blouses. There was a group in the corner putting makeup on some girl. Really?

They're just doing makeup in the corner. There was a cash register and a clerk or, you know, just ready to retail you up. And... Did the girl look like she was being dressed in all? Like, she was a model? I don't have a clue. They were just doing her makeup. I couldn't really see.

Like, it wasn't facing me. But I could just tell someone's getting their makeup done over in the corner. Okay. Across from... And it's a boutique. It's clothing. Well, so the... that doesn't usually happen in a clothing boutique, so that's already like one weird thing happening in the store.

Across from the desk where the cash register is on this wall, it's a glass booth exactly like this, where these guys are sitting. It's a glass booth, and in that glass booth is meat, hanging meat, dried meat. Like a refrigerator? Like a dehydrator thing? Big giant pieces of meat where you might cut off a T-bone or slice off a steak. So it's like a curing box. Aged, yeah.

And they were in, they were in their own little cases in there. And they were hanging, just hanging. So it was like, it was like clothing boutique, meat. So weird. Clothing boutique, makeup girl, meat. Yes. And I'm like, all right. And I have no clue.

Like, there's nothing telling me, go this way to the, to the restaurant. There's nothing. So you're just wandering. We're just standing in there. I'm like, there's like 10 of us, 15 of us, like, shuffling five things. feet into this place. Nobody wants to go too far. But the girls didn't say, hey, restaurants that direction. No one's saying anything. That's so weird.

And I'm like, I don't really know where to go to get to where steakhouse is or whatever this is, right? Maybe they were hoping you'd buy something. So I'm just standing there. Finally, somebody's like, hey, man, we're supposed to go to the elevator. So we walk through the store and around the corner and there's an elevator

and we hopped on this elevator and it goes up and it opens up and awesome nice steakhouse. I sent you a picture of it. Yeah, you did. Looked awesome. Look like a steakhouse supposed to look, right? So now I'm like, okay.

Now we're out of that weird. It's kind of making a little bit more sense. Yeah, that was a weird entry. The meat downstairs still is kind of battling. I know. Yeah, but so we sit down and it's a big table, a lot of people. We had David Chang, chef David Chang sit with us, which was cool. He was the only, he was like the surprise, I guess.

So we're sitting there and we order our food. And this was interesting. So we're sitting there with David and David wanted to order for us. But what happened, he didn't get the chance to do that. And he goes, y'all, you know, I usually would, I would suggest in the future if you go to a restaurant and they're like, hey, do y'all want us just kind of bring it to you? don't do that. He says they'll bring to you what they can't get rid of.

Oh, gross. Not that it's old and bad. He's just like, they're going to bring to you the least sort of ordered items. Which is the less desirable stuff. Yeah. But, I mean, they brought steaks, filet,

salmon flay. Salmon? Salmon. Yeah, a little salmon. Five, six, eight ounce salmon pieces. They brought a couple of things. It wasn't bad. it was, I mean, it was okay.

The stakes were super rare. Really rare. The salmon was super rare. Woof, nothing. Super rare. So, you know, we kind of nibbled on this stuff. But we're like, we got our drinks. That's pretty early.

And all of a sudden, the music gets super loud. We got a speaker right here. And it's like, holy crap. Too loud for you? Nobody can talk. You can't hear a person next to you. Wow. Turn around, and there's 20, 20 or 25, probably.

under a under 25 year old girls. They're 20 to 22, maybe younger. And they're modeling the clothes from downstairs. So the chicken or makeup done was a model. Yep. That's why the girls getting the makeup done. So they're coming, they just walk through, turn around and walk out. And the music just plays really loud.

And they're all, you know, they're just wearing clothes. It's not like they're in a costume or an outfit or there's a theme. and they just walk through and walk out and it stops and everything goes back to normal. And then so we go back to chatting and talking and I thought, okay, that was just like a little thing. I guess it happens. So the music comes on, but there's no MC like, hey guys, da-da-da-da-da-da. Well, I mean, they might have said, I wouldn't have understood a word of it. Yeah, no.

I didn't hear that. The next thing, five, ten minutes later, there's a guy that starts playing guitar. And it's, it's great. Sounds awesome. He is dressed up like, um, he is, he's dressed up like he is a megastar. He's got on, like, rose, like he's got on a whole outfit, very loose, um. Like silk? No.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no. So, you know how, um, you know how, you know how. Who sings Elton John? Oh, Billy Ray. You know how Billy Ray looks now? Yeah. Right?

So he's bejeweled? Yes. His hair's got a lot of stuff in it even that looks like it's dirty. This guy is looking like Billy Ray Cyrus and he's got on dark glasses. It's 9 o'clock or 8 o'clock at night, you know, and he is playing this guitar. And he's like hanging off the edge of his stool and he's moving, you know, and he's grooving. But he played for literally 45 seconds, a minute and a half tops, not even a four. full of song.

What? Yes. And then he stopped. And then he left. Was he singing or just playing the guitar? Nothing. Just playing the guitar. But he was like, it was loud and he was like,

and then he just stops and I, and it ended just quickly as it started. And then it all went back to normal. And then five or ten minutes later, the girls are back. They walking through all the new outfits. And this kept happening while the food's coming and while the thing's coming. I would have been very overstimulated. It was. Like, can I?

And so, and yeah, and so I think it really wore Steve out because LaTart, you know, we get done with the nibbling on our food and the dessert hadn't even been talked about yet. And that's definitely probably coming. And he's like, I'm ready. I'm ready to get out. I'm ready to go. That's not like Steve either. He likes to sit and chit-chat and like he loves a leisurely dinner. And so the Amazon folks, this one girl in particular, Amy, she's awesome.

she's like, hey, y'all can go ahead. Well, don't worry about it. Y'all can go. And she's like, oh, I got to go. I got to get out here. And so we got up and we left a little early. They were there. Apparently they were there quite a bit longer.

During this dinner, one of the coolest things happened, I guess, so David Chang sits down, and I'm learning who he is, right? And sitting between me and David Chang is, is Trevor Bain. Trevor Bain is the the real star of the prime broadcast. I know everybody loves Carl

and Corey and there's everybody's got a particular thing they love about it, but Trevor's like the secret sauce. Tell me more. Well, he, his delivery, he when you say, hey, Trevor, man,

you know, Our producer will say toss it down to Trevor. We'll be in the middle of the race. Something's happening and he'll go, Trevor's got something to add and you'll go, yeah, and that's a heck of a corner ran by that guy, Trevor, and Trevor will go, yes, sir! And then he starts his, you know, his ad.

And so he got razzed about that a little bit. Like, save the yes, sir for like one really good, big moment. Yeah, he would do it every time. So his manners are just too good for y'all is what you're trying to say. He's just so happy to be there. Yeah. And he tries, he wants to do a really good job. And he has, in just a very short period of time,

turned into somebody who does a great job with his ads on pit road. He adds awesome information, really does. And he's the sweetest guy. Yeah. Nice as can be. Just incredible. And so we're sitting there. And he goes, hey, David, did you know Dale Jr. has his own beef jerky?

Oh, my God. That's how this started. I was just going to ask you. I knew that you did this, but I didn't know how you facilitated it. And I was like, yeah. I just bought into this company and I started spitting out as much information as I could as fast as I could

I was like you know yeah and it's like I named Blake and his brother and Blake and I'm just like trying to tell him before he loses interest really quickly yeah and and and he was like I'd love to try it and I said I got a bag I'll bring it tomorrow I'll give it to you could just take it

and he's like okay and so the girl from Amazon Amy sitting right across me she's like I'm gonna make sure this happens happens. And so the next day, she's like, hey, I'll bring him up to the booth. He comes up to the booth and I'm got the bag and I'm going to give it to him and he even says, let's make sure we film this. And so he tries to jerky. He's like, hmm, sweet, salty, proper chew. You know, you got to chew it. You chew it and you got to chew it and that gets the flavor coming

out and it's awesome. And he's just like doing his chef thing. Right. And I was texting. Were you sitting there waiting for him to say anything negative? No. Like a real critique. I was just going to delete all of the evidence. If he said anything bad. I was just going to go, all right,

give me your phones. I know, but I know who you are. Were you sitting there waiting? Yes, I was nervous. For him to go, no. Hell no.

This is the best jerky in the universe, and I knew when he ate it, he would go, this is the best shit I've ever had. And I was not worried the least bit that he was going to dislike it. Yeah. But I was wondering that it might be so good that he'd be afraid of overselling it. Like he would be afraid of like being too unbelievable, right, too dramatic. Like, oh my God. I feel like he would have done that more if it was terrible and been like,

hey, behind the scenes, you know, you could kick the salt up a little bit or you could do this a little bit. I was absolutely not worth. I knew it was perfect. And I knew when he tasted it, we were on our way. Yeah, so he loved it. Yeah, he did. And I was texting Blake and Christian, the brothers that I'm partners with on this. And I'm like, y'all, man, this chef, he's, He knows food. He knows flavor. He loves it. This is amazing.

Was Christian just mind blown? Oh, yeah. I was sending it to them, and I'm like, man, this is awesome. And so we post. And then Prime was nice enough to share that on their own. Yeah. Like, they don't have to do that for me. And so, and David Chang, he doesn't do freebies.

No. Yeah. So that was pretty cool. Trevor, Bain, made that happen. That's amazing. Yeah. Mexico was great. We got home.

I would go back. Now that I've got an understanding of a couple things that I could do to make it easier for me. I don't want to... NASCAR busted ass to try to make all this work. Some things fell through the cracks. I was going to rely on their charters and, you know, the planes had trouble. My plane was stuck in Singapore. Steve LaTart, Adam Alexander, my boothmates, way ahead of time got commercial flights direct from Charlotte.

I should have done that. Yeah, they were smart. They were. That would be the only thing I'd do different. Otherwise, awesome trip. And yes, I would have brought you. You were thinking about coming. You decided not to go.

You would have loved it. I love traveling to new places. I was just getting a little nervous about just how complicated it might be. And the weekend, too, being gone so much this summer and boarding the dogs, all the details I always worry about. Well, I will say this. If we get the chance to return, you're going on that one. What I hear, though, to let you know, what I hear, though, Mexico City, may still be on the schedule, but it might move to a different network, like a different part of

the season. And we may end up getting a San Diego on the schedule. Oh, cool. Yeah. I love Southern California. Hey, it's Dale Jr. Did you know that we've got brand new merch from our Star, Stripes, and Bears Collection available now? We've got tanks, teas, beach towels, and more just in time for summer. Check it all out at shop.dirtymoedia.com. Amazing. Well, so I didn't go to Mexico. city but I did travel. You made a last minute trip. So I got off the horn with Tim. Dugger.

Last Thursday. Right after the show. You did, Bless Your Heart. How was Tim on Bless Your Heart? What's the response? I haven't even been on social media. I haven't been on there much either. Did y'all feel like you had a good show?

I love talking to Tim. I know that. I feel like we had a good show. He and I were very, we were on our best behavior. We were trying to be as PG and his as good as we possibly could so that you didn't get upset with both of us. Because we like to talk about all, like nothing's off the table.

So we were trying to be good and behave ourselves. As soon as we get off the phone, he calls and he's like, hey, so like in light of you doing some spontaneous things, especially travel, he goes, I got a proposition for you. Our dog's not doing very well. And so we either, you know, somebody needs to stay with him. But I had bought Tara tickets to go to see. Kenny Chesney at the sphere in Vegas. He's like, well, she really doesn't want to leave him by

himself. He said, so we either cancel the whole trip or maybe you could go with her and I'll stay home with the dog. I was like, give me like an hour and I'll report back. And so in that short amount of time, I was able to land a babysitter for the kids, get the dogs boarded, which was what I was really the most worried about because they're always booked up. And I got online and there with some flights available that weren't crazy. So I'm like, Tim, everything seems to be good, except I still haven't heard from Dale, so I waited to hear from you. And as soon as you said, go, go, go, I like hit the buy button. And I was excited but nervous to go. I've never been to the sphere. So, of course, I love Kenny Chesney. And going somewhere with Tara was just like

going to be the best time ever. We've never done that by ourselves. So flying out there was great. No issues land When a cowboy was flying my plane So you know the landing was like a little sideways It was super windy You know how much I love that So I was very excited to get off the plane But we spent the afternoon at the pool

We were at the Cosmo And had a freaking awesome time at the pool You know how the pools are I guess I know that Tim told Tara when she left Make sure that Amy doesn't forget her phone Or lose her phone I am I am

Regularly losing my phone Sometimes I've lost my wallet. I've lost this or that on any trip we go on. I'm losing something. And Tim said, make sure that Amy doesn't lose her phone. Well, we have an awesome time at the pool. We get dressed. We are getting ready to leave the hotel room.

And I don't see my phone. It was in the pool bag. So I get my phone out of the pool bag. I put it in my purse and we're out. Well, my phone wasn't in my bag. When we got up, we went downstairs, have a drink. when we were getting up to leave, literally the downstairs for 30 minutes. I couldn't find my phone.

But, like, we've kind of crunched on time to get to the sphere. So I'm like, you know what? We tracked it. It's in the hotel somewhere. So I'm just going to, like, figure it out later. I figured it was in the lost and found. I didn't know where it was, but I was a little tipsy, and I didn't really care where my phone was.

So we get to the sphere. We do the concert. It was sensational. What? I get a text message from Tara. can you track Amy's phone? Uh-huh. It's like 1130.

Saturday. Wait, I'm not finished about the sphere. We got to talk about the sphere a little. Well, I know. I just, but I think I got this right when y'all sat down. You all hadn't got there yet. We got to the sphere at six.

We didn't text you until we got back. Because I was, I got the text and it's like, um, Tara's like, can you track her phone? I was like, uh,

and then Tim texts me. He goes, hey, don't freak out. Don't freak out. She doesn't have her phone. Don't freak out. And I was like, God darn.

And I'm like, like she's going to she doesn't care when she loses it she's like you know I'm fine it's fine I don't whatever and I freak I freak out like if I lose my phone it's like I'm not doing nothing else like Kenny Chesney nothing but Amy's like yeah I'll find a letter Kenny Chesney yeah well we didn't fly all the way out to Vegas to hunt down a phone I know I know and so I get a picture of them in the sphere and I'm like okay so I google how long Kenny Chessney's show is two and a half hours and I'm like okay we're going to find this phone I'm going to sit here for about an hour and a half until they get out.

And then I'll see if I can connect with them and try to talk them through the process of finding it. So he can look at my phone location, but he doesn't have my login to my Apple account. So he can't get to, he can't do anything with my phone. You know what I mean? That's true. You didn't at that point. That's true. So we get back to the hotel and we get to the room.

We're getting ready to get in bed. I have forgotten at this point that I've lost my phone. See, she's even forgot. He's not wrong. I don't care. I don't care. That's wild. I'm like, holy crap, man, everything's on that.

I had gone to the security desk downstairs. It's not my life. My life, I'm my life. Like, that's just a damn phone. And so we had gone to security before we went up to the room just to make sure nobody had turned it in. Shout out Hermie Sadler. He was there. Yeah, I didn't get to talk to Hermie Sadler cross-eyed.

I'm so sorry. Hermie texts me the next day. He's like, did they find their phone? Wow. He saw me at the security desk. Yes. So we did the security desk. They were going to try to locate the phone.

but at the end of the shift, anything that was in the little bar would have been turned in, and then they take it to a vault. So, like, you have to wait till the next morning to get to it, which is so stupid. They should have a 24-hour service for this, especially in Vegas, right?

I'm not the only one losing my phone. We go to bed, or we try to go to bed. We talked to Tim beforehand, and then I think at some point he talked to you, but I fell asleep. Well, at 2.30 in the morning or so, I look up and Tara's on her. phone. I'm like, why is this girl awake? And she's like, hey, Dale's going to wipe out your phone.

I'm like, how is he going to wipe out my phone? Like, how does he even know where my phone is? How does he know how to get into my phone? Well, I had given her the login information so she could track it at one point. And she gave it to Dale. And it was showing that my phone was like in the middle of the street. Yep. But it's got this ring around it. Like, it's trying to still ping it. But you know, I'm like, when I checked this before I went to bed, I logged in and it showed my phone in Mexico City. So I told Dale, I was like, this thing isn't right. Like, I gave up at that point. When it said my phone was in Mexico City, Amy, it had my picture in Mexico City. I'm like, this thing isn't working. So I'm going to go to sleep. Who knows where the phone is?

So I'm in Mexico in the bed, and it's, at this point, it's one, two, three in the morning. I was up from 1.30 till like 4. Finally, at 4, she finds her phone. But I'm sitting there. there in the bed and I'm looking on my phone and I'm trying to refresh and see if this thing will move because she's right. It showed us, it showed us at one point that it was in her hotel, likely pinging correctly from her room. And then it was across the street. And so I am like, oh man, it's moved. He thought somebody stole it. Tara says, has it moved? And I'm like, it has moved? And I'm like, I think it's got to be right there across the street. If you go there and play the sound, it should, you should hear it. And he could see, too, that it was like on its last leg of

battery. Yeah. And I'm like, if battery's about to run out, don't wait until the morning, it's going to be dead and you won't be able to play the sound, you won't be able to track it. It'll be gone forever. And I'm thinking the chances of them finding this thing is just going down, down, down, down, down. And so I'm like, hey, I have her, I have her login, her password. I can erase it. I can erase the phone because it's got all our kids photos on it. It's got everything on it, right? Credit cards and all this stuff. And I'm like, I just wipe it clean and we'll just get another phone. And that's when Amy's like, no. Yeah. I'll find out. That shot me straight out of the bed. I'm like, all right, fine. I'll get up. I go back downstairs. Well, there's a new guy at the

security desk, but we talked to him anyway. He was sweet as pie, called his manager. The manager comes over. He's like, I'm going to go into my office and just make sure that it's not in a system, like in my computer, so that I know if it's in the vault or not. And, And so he goes to do that, and he's like, I'm not seeing anything. And so Tara and I go to the streets in our freaking PJs and are looking through the bushes all around. On our side of the street, on the median, on the other side of the street. Playing the sound?

With all the weirdos that are out at 3.30 in the morning on the streets in Vegas, there's me and Tara looking in the bushes for my phone. Playing the sound. We don't hear anything. But there's so much music playing everywhere even at that time of night. Like, Tara and I were like, we're never going to hear even if we, if it does show up in this, we're never going to hear it. So we get back to the room and Tara and I are exhausted, mentally, physically exhausted. She goes to the bathroom and she sits down with her phone and she goes, if this happened while she was in the bathroom,

I'm crawling back in the bed, she goes, you know, maybe I should just like hit the button one more time to make the sound. I am halfway leg up into the bed. D-d-d-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. I'm like, what a-ha-ha. This phone! I walk out into the little living room area, and I'm looking around, and it's like driving us boat. She comes blazing out of the bathroom. We're going towards the sound, and neither one of us see it, and there's like just a console

sitting there. So she's looking in the console, I'm looking on top, I'm looking behind it. This thing doesn't, it's like pretty high off the bottom. It had bounced. I thought I put it in my purse. It hit the floor, bounced over, and landed underneath this console, and it was like leaning face up, just like against the leg. I have a picture of it.

I'll show you. It's absolutely ridiculous. Oh, my God. I'm like, how did this thing bounce and us not hear the bounce? And in here, cling against this metal leg of this piece of furniture. But neither one was even thought to ping it in the room before we start running all over town. And I'm like, I call him. I'm like, don't clear my phone out.

I freaking have it. I got up. I got up at 6.30. I had four and a half hours of sleep, got up and did the race and went and drank beer with the boys, like on fumes. I was like, oh. You fine. You're fine. I was fine.

But then, all right. You do only sleep four hours each night anyway. Look, I made it. I had plenty of caffeine. That wasn't the worst of it. That was just the tea up. Yep. To what happened on Sunday.

I don't know this whole story, so I'm anxious to hear. We also didn't get much sleep. We woke up and just started the day at seven after we got back in. So like some super broken, hungover, not good sleep. and we're supposed to fly out at noon. So we get our stuff together. And we ended up at the airport at 9.30 in the morning. The traffic was fine.

And we got there so early. She and I are looking at each other. Like we can't, we cannot coordinate or do anything right right now. So it was fine. We got to relax and like get some food and try to get our wits about ourselves. And we're starting to get to our boarding areas. Well, all of a sudden, both of our planes are delayed.

Hers is delayed an hour. She's going to Dallas. She's got to like connect to Dallas to get back. back to Nashville and mine's delayed an hour. And I don't know why, but it was delayed. So we finally get on my plane and she gets on hers first, but I get on the plane. It's like 2 o'clock and it's hot in there.

They don't want, all the windows are closed because it's like 109 degrees in Vegas on Sunday. And so they immediately, when we all got locked in the plane, the captain comes over and says, hey, I need nine people to give up their seize and get off the plane. You'll get an $800 voucher, but there's too many people on the plane to take off. And I'm like, I'm looking at the left and the right of me. And I'm like, what does that mean? What does that mean? There's too many people. It's not like they have people hanging on the wings of this thing. What? Yeah. We're supposed to be able to take off. Well, it was too hot, they said.

And so I'm immediately texting Joey, our pilot. And so literally it was the difference between making it and not making it was eight or nine people? Yeah. Is it even that? They wouldn't count luggage either. They were like, you can't worry about, we can't take your luggage and check that to the next plane. The luggage doesn't count. And I look at the guy to the left him again. He's chuckling like he can't believe it's happening. His wife's to my right and he's on the other side. You're splitting the married couple up?

I was. They didn't care. They didn't even ask. I would have been like, hey, do you want to sit on my seat? They spent the weekend in Vegas together and they were fine not sitting next to each other on the way home. But we're all like going, what not? Should we just volunteer to get off? Were they passing notes to you?

Can you tell her to? No, we didn't even get that far. Can you tell them sorry? We could have probably if we had actually flown. But nine people volunteer. It was way easier than I thought that was going to be. Oh, I thought it would have took forever to find the nine. One guy stood up immediately and he's like, yeah, I'll get out of here.

And then all of a sudden there's like a group of four goes. And then the lady's like, okay, I need three more. I need two more. If you're with a group and you're all like, hey, man, that's $2,400. Yeah. Let's go back. Let's go back. Let's go back.

So worth it. So worth it. So that happened relatively easy. I'm like, okay, no problem. But I'm still a little concerned that the heat is going to affect the performance of this plane. I had text Joey about it, and I'm like, what does this mean? Are the tires going to blow? Joey's our pilot.

I'm thinking about the heat and then, like, the wheels just melting off as you're taking off the air. You're spiraling out of control. I was. I was totally spiraling. And he's like, no, no, no. It just affects the performance of the plane. I'm like, explain more, but, like, be careful because I'm going to, I'm about to, like, come out of my skin. This is making me so uncomfortable.

And he's like, well, let me just call my AA friends in Charlotte and see what's going on. Because the plane comes back in Portland. Yeah. Not your AA friends. Yeah. Let's clarify that one. I probably should have some of those two. I don't know.

We don't want to get people wrong impression. He doesn't have AA friends. Not my A.A. Alcoholic. This is going down south. This is going down like the plane. I've not had much of this drink. It's just a great story Amy's telling.

So we are sitting there, can't take off. And then all of a sudden, as soon as the ninth person stands up, he gets a standing ovation and some cheers. And he gets off the plane and the door closes back again. The captain goes on because he's getting ready to fire up the plane now. He goes, oh, now we have a mechanical issue. What? Yes. There was some type of, like, indicator like telling him that the fuel pump or fuel whatever was not working.

Yeah, I'm getting off. And I text Joe him, like, do I need to go off this plane? Because I'm freaking nervous. Like, what does that mean? there's what's wrong with the fuel. And so he's like, no, sit tight. Let me, let me just find some answers for you because the captain said we all have to sit tight. So nobody's really getting off. But it starts getting hot. So he says, if we're going to debaward, I don't know how long it's going to be. So we get off the plane. Well, then all of a sudden they say, we're going to let you

know at 5 o'clock if we're going to take off. And then all of a sudden it's 8 o'clock. I took off at 1145 and landed at 7 a.m. I spent the entire day in the airport, just wondering, waiting when we were all going to get out of there. It was awful. you wander far away from the gate because you're like nervous you might not hear the announcement to get back on no i didn't i just i wandered around until i found the cutest little bar to sit at and make friends yeah yeah so that's what i did i just sat and like ate pizza and had a glass of red wine which is the last thing i needed at that point but so i was exhausted by the time we got home damn it yeah we got home the nanny went april left and i looked at the girls i was like here's

your ipad you go upstairs mommy needs to sleep and so they let me sleep till noon and That was it, but it was a hell of a day. I know we've had quite the conversation here, but we've got a couple more topics that we'd like to get to if we could. This weekend's Pocono. It's going to be a fun trip. We're going to follow you. We're all going together.

The girls and you rarely go to the races anymore, but this weekend we're going to take advantage of an opportunity to go to Hershey Park. Yes. The girls are going to love that. And at the same time, I'll do the, do the broadcasting with Amazon, but also I've been talked into crew chiefing Connor Zilich's car this weekend.

Yeah, so you mentioned that this morning, and then you took off and you said you were going by track house. Track house to pit practice. So please explain that, because I don't understand why the crew chief is doing pit practice. Well, this is how this happened. So NASCAR controls the roster of the teams, and it's very minimal.

and so the crew chief there's only like four or five guys on the roster total and so everybody has a role during the pit stop it's very small and menial but the we got a suspension from

Marty Lindley a couple weeks ago with lug nuts to me lug nuts off the wheel he didn't serve it in Mexico he decided to serve it this weekend in Pocono and he texted me and said do you want a crew chief and I said man I don't know should I he goes why don't yeah you'll be fine you'll be fine you do it and so I'm doing it at his request you're doing what exactly so the Earnhardt's and the Linleys are a family of racers that go back a couple generations him his dad and my dad were incredible short track racers well respected his dad would also lose his life driving a race car at a young age when Marty was young and so we have this kindred sort of experience in life that we've and he now works here

which is pretty incredible to me. I've known him and seen him and cross past with him multiple times throughout my life. Dad loved Marty, and he would help Marty a little bit. But so he was just like, hey, you ought to do it. And they have it all sorted out, right? It's all pretty straightforward on what needs to happen. And we have a really good group of guys that are underneath Marty that know exactly what needs to go on during the race.

so it's not like I'm really going to be like really steering the ship, but somebody needs to be there. And one of the jobs that I have under the pit stop is rolling the left front tire. So I'm not, I don't go. You're going to get run over. I don't go over the wall. Okay. I stay on this side of the wall.

So they go, the car comes in, they go around the right side to change the tires. When they take the right front off, they roll it toward us. So there's me and another guy. there, you've got to catch that tire. If we don't, it's a penalty. The tire can't go uncontrolled, so we have to catch it. At the same time, I will deliver the left front tire over the wall, and as they come around, I'll kind of easily roll it toward the tire carrier, and he'll grab it and index it and put it

on the car for the changer. And so that's it. It's like, bam, bam, bam, bam, done. And so. Are you, like, so excited to do that? I went to track house today to practice. We had a little three-stop practice, and they're like, you got it you're good and so i kind of know exactly what i'm i don't i didn't want the first time i did it

to be the very live stop i'm sure they didn't either yeah and so not that i won't screw it up but i'm feeling more confident now um have you not ever done this before i've never done this how cool yeah so you know again i won't have any real um and and letart said he'd come hang out so you know if i just if i pass out from um anxiety letart can just take up Just take the headset. Yeah. And so... Let's hope that doesn't happen either. But it should be an incredible adrenaline rush of excitement just to be, you know, kind of part of the team.

And I know I'm the owner and have been owning cars forever. But, man, as an owner, you feel so... When you're at the track, you really have no... You're disconnected from some of the things. Yeah, you don't really have much going on. But, so this would be fun. And certainly, as certainly... point of view that I've never seen. I find it fun and challenging to like put yourself in all the

different scenarios to see the sport from all these angles like waving the green flag or broadcaster or you know owner or driver all these different perspectives give you an appreciation for the sport in different ways and seeing it seeing it that seeing it from a crew chief's perspective is something that is terribly terribly intimidating and their roles are so tough and critical and so I kind of have an idea what it's like and this probably won't really give me an entire glimpse into the background but man it's going to be fun. So that, so Friday, I'm going to go to the track for a little bit

and then Saturday I'll do my normal work in the booth for the cup stuff for Amazon and then jump down there and do, you know, sit on the box for the extended race and hopefully we have a good day. And, you know, there's, you know, we have four race cars out on the racetrack, four chances to win. Yeah. We've got a really good shot at it. I would love if any of our cars go to Victor Lane.

for Nicole and Ila to get to experience what that's like. They would absolutely adore that. Yeah. That might be the only way they get to actually ever do it because that is about done. That's not what I hear. Yeah, well, I'm on the fence, so it's easy for me to go, you never know. But, yeah, I'm pretty cool. He said that on, I don't know who he said that to the other day, but I texted him immediately.

And I was like, what? I was in Nashville. Is this how I'm going to find out you're racing somewhere? Like, what's happening? I was in Nashville on. doing some media at the media center and somebody asked me something that was like, sounded like, you know,

well, you're never going to run again. So how's this feel? Dada, and I was like, well, I never said I never run again. You know,

that's kind of the temperature, temperature of that conversation. It was like, man, I don't know if I'm totally done. Who knows what, you know, I might want to do two years from now or,

but I'm, I don't have, there's not like a, I'm not sitting here going, man, How am I going to bring this up and talk to Amy about this? Well, sometimes that happens. I just thought it was funny that whatever question was asked, that's what his response was.

I just was, I didn't like it being assumed, I guess. Yeah, yeah. But no, that, that, crew chief is going to be fun. Well, Pocono is going to be fun. The girls are going to have a great time. I've always loved going to Pocono with you because it's just gorgeous up there. And so we'll have a good time. So we got a game we're going to play.

We do. Before we do that, I want to tell you, I went to get my hair done last week. You look amazing. I told you when it came in today. you just look fantastic. You're so sweet, honey. You haven't seen me in days, so that's probably why I'm like,

oh, look, so pretty girl. My highlights were like mega blonde, and my roots were not, so I just wanted her to melt them out. Well, she's drying my hair, and she goes, oh, look at that. You have a couple natural highlights in the back. I'm like, natural highlights.

Like gray hair? I have gray hairs, and she goes, oh, just a couple? I'm like, no, I don't. No, no, I don't. I refuse to believe this. I'm not ready. I'm not accepting it.

So yeah, that was her easy way to break it to me That I'm starting to get great hair So if you were to say, hey, I think I take after this person Your grandmother on either side What do you expect? What do you think would happen if you just let it go? I don't know because my nana always had pretty dark hair Like even into later life, it's just a great way later in her life

And grannie's is that she's had such a beauty shop hair due her whole life I'm not sure But I look like her other one. Otherwise, for the most part... About your dad. That's hair's dark. He's got some salt and pepper, but his hair's always been real dark.

Like, he's always had brown hair, so I'm not sure. You're going to definitely have some grays. If you don't, you know, if you don't fool with it, you're going to get some grays in there. Just like, here we are. It's weird, too, because it'll... The hair? It's not like...

The hair! You're talking about gray hairs, and all of a sudden you're like, er, it's not like the gray grows out, like the root. No, they just start growing up. No, it's like the whole hair. turns gray. Oh, no.

That's not how it's happening here. So there were two, and they're wiring. Really? They were sticking straight up. She was like, yeah. I felt like I woke up one day, and it was just like, they're 10% of your hair just flipped gray. Yeah, that happened after we had I love.

One color to another immediately, the whole length of the hair. Yeah. Your hair went gray on your head and on your face right after we had kids. You know how there's people that, like, get scared and their hair turns white? Yeah. Like in that song by the crash test dummies. once there was this kid who that song

his hair turned to bright white is a line in the song my mom had a thing in the front of her hair that happened almost it seemed like overnight and it looked like it was stressed but it was just like one big little stripe like right here in the front of her hair I don't know I think it was it crashed his dummies

yeah that's a good good band yeah so in that in that vein we're going to play a game and the game is called name that girl thing How do you play the game? I'm going to list off some things and I want you to tell me what you think they are. Or your best description of what they are if you know what it is. No hints, no help.

Nope. Ready? Yeah. First one is Botox. Oh, that's when you get the injections in your face. But what does it do? It takes, it makes your muscles not work so the wrinkles stop. Damn, you're good.

All right. He knows what Botox is. All right. What are Spanx? This is finally making the intern smile. I've been waiting on them to crack a smile the whole show. Oh, man. All right.

Where are spanks? Spanx. Spanx are sort of like an underwear that you wear that high, that squeezes your body and makes your body look thinner. Yeah, shapewear. They make spigs for men, too, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. You know.

I don't have a pair. Really confidently. I could have a pair here, saying. He is very confident. I will say, every time I put my spanks on, he seems to peep around the corner in the closet. and I'm highly embarrassed. I'm like, can you just get out of here, please? What's baliage?

I have no clue. Let me try to guess. Ballyage? Ballyage. That sounds like a workout routine. It's not. It actually is a highlighting process where they just kind of paint it on. I'm going to go to the balliage class tonight.

Yeah, that sounds like fun. Yeah. It sounds like a good dance. Yeah, it does. Liquid gel. Well, I mean, I'm not. I've heard of liquid gel. Yeah?

Something that's found in the bathroom? Yeah. What do you think it is? Is my right? I don't know. What do you think it is? Um. I can't just give it to you.

You guys guess a little. I think it's a makeup remover, maybe? No. Makeup remover. An espidrile. is a woman's shoe, a style of shoe, like usually a wedge, and it's got rope around the edge. You should have said no when I said it's found in the bathroom. I just wanted to see if you were going to figure it out or come up with something way more fun.

You let me keep on going down the wrong road, Amy. All right. If I say light, regular, and super, what do you think that means? What is that? Light, regular, super. What does that refer to? I think it's referring to something to do with a hairdo. So close.

No, it refers to tampons. Oh, my God. What does light, regular, and super mean? Really? Yeah. You want me to really answer that? Yeah. I think the severity of the thing is happening?

Yes, that's right. Okay. How would you word it properly? Some idiot dudes think that it has to do with a size. No. I would say that it would be like, okay. It has to do with your flow. Yeah, flow.

There we go. That's the proper word to use. It's the polite word. Yeah, there you go. What is period sinking? Are we still in the same vein here? Yeah, this is all girly, weird stuff. No, from the last thing we just talked about.

What has to do with your period? Period. Period sinking. That means maybe that it's late. Like it's... I don't know. Did the ship sink? You were loving this too much.

No. The period didn't go bye-bye and sink. What did it mean? So you can sync up with other females if you're on each other a lot. Oh, that kind of sinking. And like your cycle will change and be on at the same time. I'm sorry. That's how the witchery is.

It really is that crazy. You can actually like your hormones affect another woman's hormones. I got you. Like y'all could hang out and all. And she could might, you could fire her off and she might start soon. Yeah. Is that what you mean? Yes.

And she'll be like, we synced up. Yes. Oh. Wow. Yeah. Okay. So you have to be careful. Do you call each other?

I'm like, hey, man. Yeah. We're going on vacation. Katie, are you on your period? Yeah. Jamie. What is that game? What game?

Bonco. Bonco? Bonco? Yeah. Does everybody have to make sure they're not going to end up sinking up? I think it has to be a couple days. You can't just do it, like, you know, for two hours. Oh, my gosh.

Y'all wanted to do this shit. What does it mean to bake your makeup? To bake your makeup? Yeah. I guess it's setting a hot car, got too messed up, got messed up, melted. Nope. It got too. You probably have seen this.

You just didn't know what the terminology was. To bake your makeup. Yeah. I mean, are we talking about contour? Because I know contour. What type of makeup are we talking about? That's like a powder. Oh, the powder.

To bake it, is that when you do this? Like you get some of it off so you don't put too much on? Because you'll brush and you'll be like, nope. When you bake it, you actually pile it on. And you kind of press it and leave it and let it like, sit for a little while and then you dust the excess off. But it's a way to like heavily layer it where it's kind of.

Put your foundation. Yeah, it's a little bit more sturdy, I guess. It's not something I really do. But yeah. What does girl dinner mean? Oh, when all you and your friends go to dinner? No. What?

Girl dinner is when I sit and eat trisketes and cheese and wine for dinner. That's hilarious. Like when you're gone, I get to have a girl dinner. I don't have to cook anything. And I know what a guy dinner is now. But beef jerky and... Beef jerky and pickles. Oh my gosh.

All right. Last one, and you probably know this. What does Break the Seal mean? When you go to the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah. When you start drinking and you're the first one to use...

Or when you go to the first bathroom break. The first time, yeah. Because it's going to then become a regular. Yeah. I feel like that's not just for chicks. No, it's for guys for sure. We use that term. All right.

Our last one. What is a tight line? A tight line? What does tightline mean? When your tights leave an impression on your skin. No, although that does happen if you have ballet tights with like the seam. Tightline is a really tight eyeliner line. My way off.

All right. Good job. Thanks for playing. Yeah, that's fun. Hi, guys. Dale Jr. and I are in the Dirty Mom Media Studios for another episode. So that a bless your heart, and we would love to hear what you have for us today on Ask Amy. What's your first question?

All right. Well, call people in the chat, and Bev on Facebook wanted to know if you guys have heard Cole Swindell's new song called Dale Jr. And what do you think about it? We have heard Cole Swindell's new song. It's wonderful. We're friends with him, and he's such a sweetheart. But I'll let Dale elaborate on this one because I know you know more about the storyline

of the song than I do. Yeah, so yeah, Cole told me about this song. He sent it to me in a text message, and it was really, cool that he would even do that. I always got a really big kick out of any time anyone ever mentioned dad in a song and never imagined that I would ever be any part of anything like that. But he told me he's like, yeah, I'm going to put it on my next album.

And so I knew this months ago, right? The album comes out, there's the song, and I'm watching him, like, sort of tease each little song, right? And I'm thinking, man, I wonder if he's going to do. So I don't know, he's probably not going to do. this with every song on the album. Maybe he'll do it with the song titled Dale Jr. Maybe he won't. I don't know

but he's and when he sent it to me, he's dude Cole is a regular person. He is down to earth. Down to earth. Sensitive. Like he wants you to,

he doesn't want to ever do anything that's like, you know, going to make you feel a certain way. And so and I kind of know that, right? And so when he sent that to me, I was like, I really didn't know how to respond to it because it was, I don't know, it's just, I didn't know what to say. I wanted to tell him that I was really happy about it and that I was like, holy this popular country artist has written a song entitled my name after it. Clearly, that's badass. But I really didn't know how to say that or if I should outwardly express that. and so, you know, he was like,

are you okay with this? And I'm like, hell, yes, I'm all right with it. And, you know, I listen to the song. I love the story. And I love how he connected our fathers. And, you know, in my opinion, that's kind of the focus of the song. It's not so much me. It's more about our dads and how cool they were.

And so when the song finally starts to get some traction, I was trying to think about how to celebrate it, support it, because he wanted me to support it, or he would want me to support it, I would assume. And so that's the angle I took. I was like, man, this is awesome. He tied all this together, and our dads are great dudes, and they're very missed, and so I'm just thankful.

It's been well received, too. It has. Yeah, it's like number one on iTunes. Tons of great feedback. people are really digging it people have their own connecting to it they are they have their own experiences that are very similar um they have people whether it's their fathers other relatives that they miss and so it's been fun i never anticipated it having any uh that type of reaction so and nascar supported it and cole will text me he's like dude naskar just shared it this is amazing you know and i text him i got

my feelings the other day and i was like man i'm telling you i really am very thankful for this and I'm just, you're so talented and you could have, you could have did anything else. And I'm so thankful that you, you shine a light on that. And I really, our friendship means the world to me. And I'm thankful that it means the world to you. So it's been cool. Yeah. That's really cool.

Really cool idea for a song, too. It was really unique. He did a good, he's kind of giving me a peek into the, you know, behind the curtain on how they write and how he writes. And he's, he's a hands-on kind of guy, man. He works hard on his craft. and that's awesome. Yep.

Our next question's from Ethan. And speaking of Father's Day, what did you guys celebrate? When and how did you do Father's Day? Well, since Dale was in Mexico on Father's Day, we waited to do Father's Day until yesterday, really. Was that right? When did you open your presents? So we had got a couple of gifts. And it was just yesterday, yes, right, he traveled home on Monday.

So yesterday morning the girls were like itching to give him his presents. So they did that first thing in the morning. And then yesterday we went out for Mexican food. And Dale got a margarita the size of. of my head. And it was kind of a mundane. Is that the right word? It was very simple Father's Day celebration, especially since it was just the four of us. Dale doesn't like a fuss in that way. Like usually on Father's Day, like we all make him go out to brunch and do all those things. So I think he had a more enjoyable experience this year. Yeah, I enjoyed it. They got me a Bluetooth speaker.

I can always use another one of those. A man can never have too many of those. And so, you know, there's all sizes and types nowadays, and we need the variety. But I, uh, when I, when he opened it, though, I have his initials put on this, like, new little speaker that I bought. And he goes, oh, yeah, I just got a couple of those for the boat. I'm like, a couple. So now you got three? It's the kind that you can chain together.

Yeah. So you can have one downstairs, one upstairs. Yeah. We had that new houseboat, that 19, or the 2004 houseboat. And I'm like, it doesn't have really great stereo on it. So I was like, man, I'm going to get a couple of these. but that was fun and then she texted me later

like I totally forgot I was like all right great good day good gifts handmade cards from the girls I'm set and Amy's like hey man you know

when do you have another a day off so you can go you know do something right or whatever you want to do and so we're like well it doesn't look like that's going to be an option so she texted me later and she's like hey do you want to go to pine the sky

and I was like I don't know I mean I kind of kind of want a margarita kind of wants, I mean, we just came off of his Mexico for. And I'm still like, yeah, kind of want a margarita, do we honestly. So, but it wasn't registering with me why she said, pie in the sky, that she wanted to take me to dinner. I'm like, well, where? Let's just see where the girls want to go.

You know, it's like, whatever. Dinner would be great. Family dinner. But I didn't, I wasn't like, self-aware. We ended up going and getting a big old margarita. It was cool. That's good. I couldn't finish it, though.

It was this big. I can only do about, finish about half of that thing. It's a lot of margarita in that big. There's a lot. But it was fun. I was, I was entertained. Amy was stressed out. I was.

I was very overstimulated between my kids and all the things happening around me. And Dale ordered the size of that giant drink and was taking his time with it. I was like, oh, my God. Enjoying him out of. Next question's from Debbie. She saw Dale tweet out a. picture that you guys got engaged 10 years ago yesterday, I believe, or so. Was there something you did on your wedding day that you'd recommend every bride do?

Probably not on the wedding day. Because we didn't really, like, I regret not seeing him before the wedding. He didn't want to do that. I regret not getting more pictures and stuff like that before because we got married later in the evening and all of our pictures are dark. I regret not having that first looks thing because we didn't do engagement photos or anything. We have no pictures otherwise. But that's really the only reason.

The surprise of seeing each other was fabulous. You know, when you... You told me that there was, I can't remember exactly what it was, but there was something about the, you know, being around your family, your girls, your girlfriends and all that, something about that that you might have absorbed more fully. I can't remember what it was, but you told me you were like, man, there was this thing that happened or this experience

that was going on that I wish I would have really took in better. I can't remember what that was, but I remember you talking about that. I don't know. There was a lot going on on our wedding day. I would advise, no matter what your wife says or your wife to be says, I would advise against seeing her before the wedding because it would be great either way, surely. But I was in a room with my buddies, and we were all hanging out,

and they're cleaning everybody's neck up. They had a couple girls in there that were, they're trimming and carrying on and ripping on our nose hairs and all that. Yeah, the full spot experience. Oh, boy. They put that hot glue in your nose right up in here. And we had these little popsicle sticks. We had these little popsicle sticks hanging out for like five minutes

and then they come out and rip them out. And you're like, hell yeah. I mean, it hurts, but you're like, hair's gone. No more tickling. So all that was so much fun And then You know you move on from that And you're standing on that stage

And everybody's in the room And the next thing you're going to see is Amy Or your wife And it was if I had seen her An hour or two before That moment might have been different And I will never forget What I'm not saying that

Just because she's sitting here I will never, ever be able to replicate the feeling I had when she turned the corner and faced me and started coming down that aisle. There is no feeling like it. So I would like try your best to hold off. I went and stayed in the tree house, you know, to stay away from her and not be, and try to really. And that was awesome. That was so cool to be able to, you know, have that feeling and it be so genuine. I'm not sure it would have been the same.

It was still been good, but not quite as perfect. Yeah, I kind of agree. I had a friend do like first reveal pictures, what they call it. And it was like four hours before the wedding. And it kind of felt like the actual walking down the aisle part wasn't as maybe special for even the spectators. Because you're not, you're not. I've seen it where they take the pictures where like you're separated by something. So you don't have to actually see each other.

But like you have pictures. Those are cool. Yeah. So that would have, that's just the only thing I regret not having more photos. We have plenty of photos. But like it's party scene stuff. Like we had a great, amazing wedding. We had two parties.

It was New Year's Eve. We got married and then had two back-to-back parties. The wedding reception. Yes. Doors opened, like you went into another space, and then we had the New Year's party. So, like, it was a really awesome time. Y'all, y'all, I can't drive this point home. We had the reception, which had a stage, a band, Congo line, dancing, drinking.

Felt like that was like an hour and a half, two hours. And then a curtain fell and there was a ballroom. And it was New Year's Eve party. Yeah. So you walked through and went into a whole different space. I've raised a lot of hell. Partied my ass off. But I've never had a back-to-back party.

That's an amazing idea. Y'all, we're going to party her ass off and then immediately start again. A totally different party. That's something we need to try to replicate. That's tough. Maybe on our 10th anniversary, we'll have another New Year's party. A back-to-back party. That's interesting.

People in the chat now want you. They want you to list off your top three favorite parties. Oh, yeah. That's hard. That might be. It is hard. QS, QS, QS. I don't know.

No. Our wedding night was the best one for sure. Yeah. There's been some fun parties. That's really cool. Next one's kind of on a similar line. Katie wants to know if, do you all consider the day you got proposed an anniversary and do you celebrate a like one?

Yeah. We always acknowledge it. There's not like a dinner or anything that happens, but like, it seems like just as special of a day as the wedding day. it does to me yeah i have it in my calendar and um honestly otherwise i probably wouldn't acknowledge it as often annually but i have it in my calendar to remind myself and it's just like a it's just a quick brief conversation we have at the at the kitchen counter in the morning like hey this is the day and it's just fun to think back about because

we were in germany we were at this old village in this old church you know and so it's just fun to think back about that it helps you to like Just spark the memory. Yeah. Yeah, I get that. Shifting gears a little bit. Daniel wants to know. What's one thing your kids have that you wish had existed when you were a kid?

I mean, iPads. Although I loved playing outside and I have to kick them out. Nerds clusters. That would be one. So I took the kids to the movies last week and Nicole's only request was nerd clusters. That's pretty awesome. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Like father.

Like father like son. She's like, hey, dad, I had some nerd clusters. I'm like, we're connecting right now. This is awesome. Let's talk about this. I have a strong feeling, too. She only wanted those because it's something that her daddy eats. She loved them.

She picked nerds cluster. They're easy to like. Probably some of, I mean, mine would definitely be like the foods and stuff. Our diet was so strict at the house I grew up in. We didn't have no fun. But they get all the cool stuff. Yeah, we didn't have fun stuff until I got into high school. school a little bit older. They didn't really have the fun stuff.

Shifted around the other way. Now, what do you wish your kids had that you had? Is it more going outside like that? Just the freedom. The freedom to just go outside. We were outside on our bikes, running the neighborhood. We didn't, nobody was nervous about that. And, you know, we get in a... You use a landline, and one would call, like, just one or two friends. And we were at least one house or the other. Somebody knew where we are. It was easy. It's that. And this is going to sound terrible probably, but it's that. And it's the, you know, the riding in the car seat,

buckled in the back seat. You know, you can't come out of the big, you can't come out of the car seat and get in the booster until you're 80 pounds. You can't ride up front until you're eight years old. And we were riding up down the road in our dads and mom's cars. And I was laying all over the back seat of mom's 78, Monty Carlo, not giving a shit, not buckled to nothing. If dad had to stop fast, you throw his arm out, like, hang on.

I mean, I can't. I can't, like, I can't in my mind go back to that. But one, I will say, it's annoying and frustrated to me that I can't put Ilet in a booster in my pickup truck, my single cab, and go for a ride, you know. But not that I would, you know what I mean? Because we're trained. Our brains are trained to, like, abide by the norms of today. And, but I damn wish, you know.

We have some old cars that have bench seats or, like, just two bucket seats and you just can't take them. Can't take them anywhere. I got to wait until, like, Ila can get to a certain age to be able to go, hey, let's take my doubt. Now we can go in this truck, right, instead of having to take the extended cab or whatever. Well, that'll be special, too, when you get to do that. It will, but, I mean, damn it. Be nice right now.

Yeah. Our last question, kind of off the wall, is from Blair. If you could have a lifetime supply of anything, what would it be? A lifetime supply of anything? Anything. Anything in the world. Damn it. God, that's a hard question.

I'll give you one that you guys might not be thinking of. It's kind of boring. But any toiletry product, because I hate buying those. Yeah. If I just had a lifetime supply. Just toilet paper. Toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, stuff like that. Like, just it's there.

Something of convenience. Yeah, I hate buying it. Trash bags. Gasoline. Yeah. Food was one that I think everyone's picked or like a luxury or something. I'm like, I want. I wish the car always had gas in it.

It was always full. Really? Okay. Yeah. I don't know. There's just one of those things. you, it's a pan in the butt to mess with. Put gas in the car?

Yeah, I mean, you can order, we can order the toiletries to the house. Amazon will bring those to you, but they won't bring gasoline and put it in your car. It should. Good business idea. Yeah.

I don't know. We could get you a battery car. You can just plug it in when you get home. I'd probably lose the plug and... Forget. Forget, not care. Cruise to a stop. Come get me.

Yeah, May Day. I go, I can't not. Think of food. I just can't not think of food. I do pine to sky pizza. So good. Ice cream in the freezer. Oh, man.

Chocolate mint. Chocolate chip mint. If I get ice cream, if I get any ice cream, I don't care if it's one pint or ten, he eats every single bit of it. Don't you? Yeah. Yeah. Every single bit of it.

Don't whack. So once the, once that lid's open. I mean, I'm not wanting you to buy it. But if it comes in there. If it's in there. If it's in there, I can't not. He just checks just to see, and he's like, oh. So once that lid's open, it's gone.

Yeah, it's gone. No, no, no. I'll eat a couple. So I will go and get a scoop and eat it, and then the next day and maybe another, just one spoon. And then, you know, I might have a servant or a servant or two. Or he'll stay up late and just take it to the couch. Yeah. There are some weak moments.
