Hi, guys. We're in the Dirty Moe Media Studios for another episode of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I had a lot of fun today, a lot of fun topics to talk about. And stick around for asking me because it was extra fun today. A lot of funny topics. A lot of funny questions. So let's get started. The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Bless your heart.

Oh, yeah. This is the way it's going to be, girl. If we're going to hang out. Oh, you look amazing. I can stare at you all day. I'm just tired. I couldn't believe it. What's going on?

The world is not your trash hand. I slept till two, smoking cigarettes and drinking amp energy. Lord have mercy. All right, today's drink, sponsored by High Rock, is the sugarplum lemonade. Have you tried it yet? Haven't. But let's talk about what's in it. All right.

Obviously, good-looking drink. Why don't you pick yours up? I'm going to pick mine up and try it. Sugarlands is the official moonshine of the PGA Championship. That's this weekend in Quail Hollow in Charlotte. Sugarlands has a. a PGA Championship branded Lemonade Moonshine, and that's what we're going to use in this drink this week. So two ounces of that PGA sugar, I'm sorry, two ounces of that PGA Championship

Lemonade Moonshine, that's a mouthful. That's a lot. Yeah, but you're only using two ounces of it. One ounce of high rock vodka, and then four ounces of sparkling white grape juice. That's delicious. Splash of cranberry juice and fresh lime juice, and then you can put some grapes that have been rolled in sugar. Visit high rock vodka.com. Obviously, to find a bottle near you, there's a finder on the website. Everybody's always asking us, where do we get it? Does my liquor store have it?

Go to high rock vodka.com and use the finder to see the closest location to be able to go pick you up a bottle of high rock vodka. And remember, drink responsibly. Must be 21 and over. All that good stuff. Common sense. Use your common sense. Use your common sense.

And B-21. Damn, that is good. It's really good. Damn, that is good. That is good. Dale's favorite so far, I think. That is good. Thank you, Hi Rock.

Let me put that in a can. Oh, that would be a good ready to drink. That's the flavor right there. So, all right, let's get to the show, Amy. Let's get to it. What's been going on lately? We haven't seen each other a lot. You've been bopping around.

Yeah, I have. I just came from New York. What else was I doing? I don't know. What are you always doing? Well, I mean, I've not been home, I feel like. You haven't. What have you been doing? Where have we been that we have not seen each other?

Well, so Saturday I went to the spa day for Mother's Day. That's right. Dale surprised me with a spa day, and so I had a driver and everything. I didn't have to even take myself, so I was gone all day long. I'm sorry, did we talk about the Mother's Day? We told everybody. We talked about that on the last show, right? Somebody asked about what's due for their wife.

Yeah. And so Amy, and I've talked to a lot of people since then about all my buddies, you know, about what they did and what their wives won or what this, what they, you know, and they, I feel so lucky because they're also, they're, I remember feeling this way too. They're all like, oh, man, I got this and I got that. And I'm not, you know, and none of us are ever like really sure whether we hit the target or met the mark. and I'm like, guys, I've got it easy. Amy told me she just wants to be sent somewhere fun and leave her alone.

Mom just wants some time off. I'm like, y'all need to get on that train because that's not that hard to do. I mean, presents are nice too, but time off is invaluable. Yeah. And so maybe, yeah, that's interesting. I think it would be fun to put a poll up if we have an opportunity to do that through our, bless your heart, of what the, there's a lot of wives that are now watching the show, thanks to you, Amy. Yeah.

And it'd be cool to kind of get a percentage of, you get two choices. Gifts and services, like would be flowers and the things. Flowers and brunch, basically. Or send me to the spa for the day. Like the whole day. The whole day. I was gone from 10, 9.30 to 6 o'clock. So I literally got the entire day off.

And it was fabulous. It is hard to unwind, but it was a lot of fun. The spa was a little bit more, I don't know, Bramunctious isn't the word, but it was, there was a lot more energy. A lot of girls, like there are foursomes and couples, and so there was a lot more energy than I expected. I hadn't ever been to the spa that I went to before, but it was fabulous. I had a great day. You said you were in the hot tub and a hot tub, a cold plunged, I massaged, I got a facial. Somebody.

Yeah, so there are three hot tubs. There's one hot tub in the middle of the spa that's got these waterfalls cascading down. There's two, and you can stand underneath them, if you like. I was just sitting my happy ass on the steps, just hanging out. And this gentleman comes over and stands under the waterfall right next to me and just starts splattering water all over everybody around him. What? Close his eyes, just stood there and let the water hit his shoulders, you know,

and it's just like splattering everywhere else. So I'm like, it hit in the face with his backwater. It's gross. Oh, my God. First time to spy, I guess. Yeah. He looked like it was his first time. He had no cuth.

But there was plenty of other options. You don't messed up when Amy brings out the word cout. Yeah. That's the different level of messed up. Yeah, it was. But it's fine. There were other options. And so I did that Saturday because Dale was gone Sunday working and where was that?

So we kind of go into different directions. You were working. the race. You are doing practice for your... Oh, we had a rehearsal. The Amazon booth had a rehearsal over the Fox broadcast down at the NASCAR building across from the Concord Airport. Yeah, I was going all day. And then Monday? I don't know.

Monday's always weird because you're always... I laugh at school a way you're gone. You kind of find things to do. This dog is driving the crazy. The listeners love when that dog's in your lap, but he is driving you crazy today. he's got no coooth either Junebug has a Junebug has the worst case that I've ever seen

of separation anxiety even when we're together he's like we're not together enough and he pants and puffs and puffs and wines like if she were to leave this room y'all he would sit there and the door and cry loudly

until she came back wow he makes these weird sounds it's not a normal like Amy leaves the house and that's what he does till hours later when she comes home. We used to just drive around with him in the car just because we took him everywhere before kids and if I got out to run and grab something, he did the same noise and Dale started

videotaping him. I didn't believe it because I've never heard him make those noises. Amy doesn't experience it. No. How was New York? So wait. So I was, we have a big announcement. We do?

Everybody buckle up. What's our announcement? Am I going to learn something new here too? No, no, no. I get asked all the time. are your girls going to race? Well, we have a racer and a winner in the lot. Nicole had a race at school.

It's a foot race, but it was around the Oval. They wore these little race car bodies. They have box cars. You know, like an overall race car body. And Amy's, Amy, I knew she was having some sort of like a, I don't know, Olympic. It's race day at school. They have like NASCAR Day at school.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah. So I put her in a vintage Della senior t-shirt and we need to put that in the clip. Whatever. Right. We need to show people what that looks like because I got her, I found people send me really cool stuff. And man,

some fans have sent me some Deller and Hart stuff from like 1980, 81, 82, like really old and it's kid size. So Ila wears it and Nicole wears it. I love it because they don't, because I know what it is, but they don't, they might not. know what it is and it's just cool for them i think it's cool for us to kind of put papal dale around them as much as we can so that because when you know i want them to learn who he is as early as possible and so um when they wear like a 1981 papal dale t-shirt it's just the coolest thing for me it's

so cool well she did know she had pa paudal dail on her shirt and she got the number two car over her shoulders too so she matched her car so she's like i got the whole vibe going and she killed it But her teacher sent me the video and she's racing her ass off looking backwards. Like nobody's going to catch me. So they're four-year-old kids and they, there's four of them in this little oval racetrack and they got to run around this room, the carpet floor. They drop the green flag. They're doing the flags, the whole thing.

Yeah. And there's, and Nicole is already aware that it's a race. So these are things that I think about when Amy sent me to video. Nicole is absolutely aware that this is a competition. And you can tell from the moment it starts, she's like, I'm out to win. The other kids are just like, oh, we're just playing. Hey, I'm having fun.

We're running. I got my little car. Yay. I'm a kid. But Nicole's like, this is a race. I'm out to win it. And that's my focus at this moment. That's about what's going to happen.

Y'all just watch me go. So she takes off running and she's doing. and they had a little caution so they slow down and they walk in place and then the green flag comes out and she runs

again was she got her getting a little bit wide around the track and this little this girl in second just closed the gap and passed her

and it was like woke her up she was like oh man I've been past and then she fired off and went back to the inside and got underneath the leader and

passed her and wins the race pretty awesome she had a little gold she told me yesterday. A little gold medal. She's like, I'm only going back to school tomorrow, mom, because it's her last day today.

She's like, I'm only going back to school if we get to do the race again. So she had a blast. But yeah, I think she's got a little bit of the bug in her. Not really sure what to say about that. I'm telling you. Everybody always asks me, is your girls going to race? They're going to race. I feel like if one does.

Well, you did ask Ila the other day, didn't you? I don't know. You did. You interviewed her. You have video of this. Yeah, I don't know. I sent it to my friends on She's just learned to ride her bike

And so he's like, okay, wheels, we're doing wheels now Are you going to be a race car driver? And she's like, no. He gave her all the scenarios. She's like, not happening. I think Nicole might do it. Might piddle with it. She might.

Yeah. But that was pretty cool. So we got a, we got a winner. We got a racer. And I'm like, Ali, you want to play sports? She's like, gymnastics. I'm like, all right.

She's a girl. girl. Yeah, she is. I have another proud moment that I want to brag about Ila on. So I got a text message from one of her schoolmates moms yesterday. You should just read the text message. You sent it to me. I should. I should just read it. So I don't screw it up. I was in New York City when she sent me

this. They made me tear up right in front of everybody. I was out walking the dog, so I actually did cry. But here we go. I read it to everybody that I was around. You sent me so many pictures for me to say, here we go. She says, I need to tell you how sweet your girl was yesterday. My daughter was at a table. with two girls at lunch, mind you, they're six or seven, they're young. And when she got to throw

trash away, the two girls moved and they were still eating. They moved tables. So Katie was at the table alone, and Ila noticed and grabbed her lunch and moved to Katie's table and said, we don't let our friends sit alone. Oh. Isn't that so sweet? That's very sweet. So like, I know when she leaves the house now, like, I don't have to worry. Her little sweet heart that I see at home really is how she behaves. And that made me feel so good. Because if she, if she, if I have, you, if I ever caught her doing some mean girl stuff like I would tan or hide but it makes me feel so good to know that like you she's confident enough to act that way young boys understand what getting your hide tanned means yeah yeah I have an idea I didn't know we went through this uh you know through these slogans and phrases

y'all are saying these days didn't know if you knew what that's an oldie that's I haven't heard of it but yeah you had heard of it that way but I know what it means oh I would tan her hide if she was mean but it made me cry I was walking the dogs and that was by myself and it totally caught me off guard and I was so proud. I'm so proud of her. That makes, that's another thing as a parent. Like, you have to give them all the tools, but you don't know how to behave when they leave the house and that. Yes, so I was really proud of my little girl.

That was awesome and I was proud of her too. You guys also. Did you ever get bullied in school, by the way? Did you ever have any moments like that in the lunchroom or like where you felt outcast? Bollied in school? Where are we going? I just curious. What?

Well, I've kind of shared that I've had some of those experiences, you know, in school growing up, but it was from other girls. And so it's just one of those things you worry about with your kids growing up in school, how they interact with other kids and how they're treated or how they treat others. I don't think I got bullied. I was tiny. I was really small. But I never really got bullied. You didn't? Not in the traditional sense, no.

Did your sister ever deal with any of that? I think Kelly got there were. So Kelly was popular, as I understood it, Kelly was popular and had this group of friends, but there was also another group of friends that were all, a group of people that were also popular, and they clashed at times. Oh, yeah. I like to talk, I was part of, so there were the athletes, people that played sports, there were the preps, the people that, you know, wore their collars up and were,

holos and all that stuff. And my school, those are the same people. Right. And no, not in my school. Well, they blended a little bit at times. Some of the preps played sports. But, and there were a couple other groups that I didn't belong to. And I hung out with the leftovers.

Yeah. I was one of the leftovers. You were a leftover. Yeah. I hung out with the, the, the, the, the, the, redneck kid that rode his motorcycle in the dirt every afternoon. It wore both Sefa shirts and the other guy that liked to work on his pickup truck. And, you know, this is the leftovers.

I was just kind of like one of the, and that was fine. They were most likely NASCAR fans. If you wore a NASCAR shirt, I'd go, hey, you're a belong together. You're a leftover. Come sit with me. Let's talk, bud. I know some NASCAR. Well, looking for you.

I like leftovers. Honestly, man, I think people would be surprised. In high school, NASCAR wasn't cool or popular to the majority of the kids. Like in 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade, all the kids in school did not watch NASCAR. They didn't pull for a driver. They didn't, you know, if they, um, You know, they didn't think it was cool. They thought it was not cool.

I hear you. Well, I didn't have any of those situations, like in high school. I thought being Dalyard's son was going to really make high school fun. It did not. No, yeah. High school's hard. It is. But the catty bullying stuff happened for me, like, when we were younger.

I don't understand that. Like before kids really know how to behave, you know. It happened in junior high, and the first time it happened was in the fourth grade. Got punched in the stomach going out for a fire drill by a girl. sit next to me in school. Yeah. Yeah. It was really weird.

I didn't have any of that going on. Yeah, so I just am always scared that that's going to happen to my kids. I probably shouldn't put that out in the universe, like attracting it into your life. But I was just proud of Ila when she was so sweet. I mean, if it did. I don't know what we're going to do about that, but when that happens, we're going to have a big problem. Yes, that would be bad. I don't think that's as prevalent in school, you know, just with random kids anymore.

I don't know. They went to the zoo. They had a field trip. What's this crush on Wyatt and nachos? All right, so we go... I don't know nothing about this. So me and Amy have a note. You know Wyatt. Wyatt was at...

I know who White is. Not our Wyatt. Oh, it's not our Wyatt. Not our Wyatt. It's a different wife. It's her classmate wife. Oh! The little boy that was at the dirt track.

All right. That's Wyatt. So we're at the zoo. We're going from animal to animal. All of a sudden there's like a little tiny. They have like little playgrounds stationed all over. So like the kids can take a break and just play. It's actually very smart.

So the kids are running all over this sculpture. They're playing, except Ila and Wyatt are just chasing each other, like literally chasing each other all over the place. Wyatt's chasing Ila. Then Ila turns around and when Ila's chasing Wyatt. And that's the little boy that she said, ask her to marry him in kindergarten. No.

Do you remember that? God, you forget everything. Yeah, I'm not going to retain that kind of information. Well, I did. Because Wyatt still has a crush on Ila, and I got to watch it in the flesh, them flirting with each other. I was like, oh, Lord, that's Wyatt.

Oh, no, this is still going on. And I didn't ask Ila about it because I didn't want to embarrass the heck on her. But anyway, he's a sweet kid. What happened with the nachos? The nach. So here's the thing about food in the zoo. You're supposed to pack your lunch. Well, I didn't do that because they said there was concessions.

I'm like, we're just going to wing it and eat some popcorn. We're not doing pack lunches. And so we get to the concessions, and then the lines are so long except for the taco truck, which lucky for me is what I'm. I would have picked anyway. So they have some popcorn. I get some nachos. And I've got the stroller, because Nicole is with us, and she's sitting in the stroller of the Bob, you know, got the big flat top. I set my little plate of nachos on the top because I'm getting Ila's drink open. And Nicole goes, Oh.

Nachos, cheese dip, every freaking wear. And I'm like mortified because nobody else has got nachos and popcorn and crap all. over the floor. It's just me. My race car driver. It's just me. She's like, yeah, I felt that on my head. I was like, you could have just left it there. I felt that on my head. What is that? Yeah. It felt very much like something a tiny Dale Jr. would have done. And she had no remorse. No remorse. She's like, oh, I'm like, you're going to help me pick this up. Now I'm embarrassed. You're going to get embarrassed with me. Oh, my God. She's like, you see how high that went? That was awesome. Yeah. Yeah. It did. It catapulted

and it was full. Oh, my God. And so the other parents. And so the other parents. that I was walking with for like, do you want my help? I was like, honestly, no, you all just keep walking? This might be where we exit. We had to have like a 30 second come to Jesus. Mommy did. I literally had to like catch my breath before I said anything.

And then I cleaned the damn cheese up all off the floor. And then we went on. But it was a day. Hey, everybody. I'm Amy Earnhardt. And I'm Dale & Hart Jr. Come join us for Junior Murder Sports and Dirty Mo Media Fan Day. This is Thursday, May 22nd.

at shop. Dot dirtymodea.com. I went to New York City yesterday. Got to do with my sister Kelly to talk about the Earnhardt documentary

that's coming out on Prime. If you got Prime, which there's a lot of people that do, you can watch the first two episodes on May the 22nd. And then you can watch the third and final episode on May the 29th. And I think that if you do take your time to watch the four episodes, you'll be blown away by the quality of the work and the project. And it's just amazing.

The people that put this together are the imagine folks. with Ron Howard and his team, everything they do is always top-notch. And they hit it out of the park. There's a premiere also on the 22nd that we're all going to go to. We've invited some people in the industry. Probably about 200, 250 people, drivers, current drivers, and other people in the industry and a lot of people in our family.

So we'll all be watching the first two episodes at the premiere at the same moment that it's available to all of y'all. And I hope that you'll watch it and give us the feedback. Like, I will be looking all over social media for your opinions. Please give them in detail. It's really good, but make sure to have your tissue box handy. I think you're good on tissues until episode three and four. I cried in the first one.

Okay. I'm emotional. You know, have them handy. All right. You're going to hear stories and see things you might have not before. There's stuff in there that I've never seen. I thought one, I'll tell you this. So here's an example of like how amazing the imagined folks are.

They're very thorough. And they are just skilled at being able to find hidden footage and stuff that's just just been tucked away and lost. And for my dad and me, for all of these years, I have thought that there existed only one piece of video of Ralph Earnhardt walking and talking and his mannerisms and sound. Ralph died before I was born, so this is this little five-minute clip is all I know of Ralph and what he sounds like and how he looks and talks and tilts his head and whatever, right? And which is, I love that that exists. If it did not exist, I wouldn't, I'd have to imagine how he sounded just by looking at steel photography.

They found more video that exists of Ralph that I never knew was out there. I don't think Dad has probably ever seen this clip. And so that's just how thorough and detailed they are. They took, they came into my house. They took every photo album I had. I've been cataloging and organizing photos and stuff for the last couple of years. And so I have this big stack of about nine photo albums of just, and it's all organized and stuff in my own career, my late model racing,

a bunch of stuff from Dad and Ralph. I've got a photo album of just Ralph stuff, and they took all of that to use. So it's a bunch of personal photos that are probably not public. But that stuff that I think you'll enjoy, they also had people contribute to the project through interviews. If you remember having, we had hands, Parker Sr. on the Dale Jr. download, he was amazing. He's in this as well, and he drops

a lot of stuff that I never knew or heard about conversations he had with dad about his kids and about how Hank and Hank was with his kids, how dad was with his kids, just a lot of really honest stuff about dad, the human being and the father and the husband. So I think you'll enjoy it. But I went to New York City, and man, I stayed in this incredible hotel room. The Amazon folks put me up in this bad ass hotel room. Dale doesn't like going to the city. I don't like going to New York City. He gets anxious about going to New York.

And every time he goes, he says, I had such a good time. I, when they say, so usually this is how that works. I love being here. I'm comfortable here. I love being near my wife, my kids, my friends, all the people that I get to see. That's my comfort zone. And somebody will say, hey, they need you to go to New York City to do a bunch of media.

You might do a late show or some media throughout today. We did Barstool, USA Today, different things like that. We did about nine or ten different media hits and driving around from building to building to go into these little studios and do them. We did the Today Show. But they'll call and say, hey, you got to go do a media day in New York for this project or to promote this or do it for this partner or whatever. We write a book, a children's book, whatever, right?

They need you to go to promote it. New York City is the place. And I'm like, shit. want to do that. And, you know, you're just grumpy about it. But you, you, because it's not only is, not only do you not want to do a day's worth of media packed into, you know, six hours. You got to go out there early. You can't get, you can't get up and do the today show by flying in that morning. So you got to go the day before. You get up, you're getting a hotel room. You spend all day in New York City where, you know, it's, it's a culture shock because tall buildings

everywhere. People just running in all directions, trying to go somewhere. Everybody looks like they have this destination or important meeting or this thing they've got to be to and they're five minutes late. And, you know, I don't, the people that live there, everything makes sense. The people like myself that show up once a year, everything's confusing. It's overwhelming. It's just signs and words and just honking all the time. It seems like you feel you still have that leftover. personality, or like that thing in the back of your mind, we're like, I don't belong here. Yeah, I do. I can't go to New York. I don't belong here. Yes, I do. And so, that's exactly it.

I'm fish out of water. So you get there, but you get there. You wake, you know, I walk in this hotel room. I'm like, holy shit, this is the nicest hotel room I've ever been in. I've been in some badass hotel rooms. It's probably not the nicest one I've ever been in, but it was super nice. And it was giant. looking out across the buildings and man i you know it was beautiful and uh got up in the morning well rested went downstairs it weather was a little crappy but i mean it was a great day it was fun everybody sent me a picture walking around the city he's like this is actually kind of nice everybody was nice everybody was polite uh we got we had a lot of great interviews i did not have one moment that I had predicted in my head, right?

Yeah. And that's what happens every time I go to New York. I'm like, I don't want to go to New York. It's the same way by L.A. or anywhere, like, you know, far away. I'm like, I don't want to do that, but I got to go. And I get there and I have a blast. And I told Amy, I text her or called her. I said, hey, next time I'm about having to go to New York, remind me that I had a good time.

She goes, you've had a great time the last four or five times you went. Yeah. But it was fun, and we got to promote the show. And I'm really nervous about people seeing this. It's a really honest take. Kelly was super transparent. So was I to a point. I don't think we've ever been this honest about our childhood

or some of the things that we experienced. And I'm really nervous about how people are going to consume it or whether they will like it or not. But in the end, it's all about trying to celebrate dad and remind people or introduce people to his greatness and his legacy. And I hear all the time people say, there's a lot of new fans coming to the sport.

And they're like, I never saw this guy race. I hear his name all the time. I see the number three and I hear about Earnhardt, and I don't know why. Tell me why this guy was so respected or appreciated. and I think that'll be fun for people who are curious to know more about dad or be introduced to him for the first time. This will be interesting to see how this resonates with people. I'm excited to see it.

That's what I've been doing. That's what I've been doing. One of the things that popped up on my phone while I was out in, while I was in New York City, I was texting back and forth with Amy. and I've had this kind of thought this is something I thought it would be fun to talk about but there's predictive text

on the latest iPhone update I don't remember when that came around but it was recent so like now when you're somebody text you you can type your responses you typically would or it gives you like maybe one

two or three options and they're always like pretty spot on have you guys picked up on this right you're just discovering this No, I didn't just discover it, but I'm just wanting to talk about it. So you're using it, okay. Mine just has words that pop up, not like whole phrases. Mine has whole phrases.

So you'll say something like, hey, how about dinner tomorrow night? And it'll have like, that sounds good or heck yeah, let's go. You know, it'll just have like different. Yeah, mine doesn't do that. So I was wondering, I've like sparingly used it because it feels like it feels cheap or cheating. Because, you know, it is. It is. Right. But it is no different than like just giving your buddy the thumbs up emoji. Look, we're all guilty of doing that. Like your buddy will be like, barri-br-or-and you'll be like thumbs up.

Are you a person that gets offended by emojis? I'm not. I don't care of like, okay or a thumbs up is totally fine with me. You told me that I, that the thumbs up was not your favorite from me. You're like, stop giving me the thumbs up emoji. It's like calling me dude. I don't care if you call me dude This is not who I didn't have this conversation with me Sure I'm pretty sure it was your sister She used to tell us both

Like if you just write okay She feels She reads tone into that Oh okay Like right okay Haha or okay Like smiley face She needs the tone

Yeah I don't need all that But I do I like emojis Kelly likes emojis Because if she If you don't send an emoji She goes

Are you okay Are you being short Are you busy? Yeah, short text to her means short time. Means you're like, I ain't got a type of this. You know, and she'll be like, she'll say, hey, you know, she'll send emojis. It's kind of like mood, you know, people that put their mood out on Facebook. My mood is this.

I've seen people write email. They were doing it here for a while. Mood jovial. Yeah, there's like a three-part description of like the tone. My mood is this. Here's the email. And so, but anyhow. Now, I was, I sent a predictive text to Amy, I think yesterday, one of the times that we were texting.

Oh, you did? It was like, oh, that sounds awesome or something like that. It was like, that's what I would say. Literally didn't notice, didn't care. Yeah. And I was just wondering if. You said you tried to call me three times. I did.

I think I exaggerated. It was only two. Oh, shocker. You exaggerated. I've been trying to reach you all day. I know. You've been working all day. I did try to call her twice.

As soon as I got up in the. morning at one point and then later in the afternoon. I just feel like, you know, when about four or five hours go by, I need to like send a call, get hear your voice, let you know how things are going. Yeah, but you also know specifically, first thing in the morning, what's the moment looks like for me. I called you this morning. You did? Yeah. Why? I call you all, as soon as I drop Ila off, one out of every three drop-offs, I call you. Right. So I'm upstairs trying to get myself ready. Yeah. Nicole had my phone playing games. That was what was happening. I was going to call You probably could have talked to Nicole.

The reason I called you this morning was because I was going to tell you this. Oh, God. So I drop Iila off at school, and then I drive up the hill to exit the school, and kids are driving in. These 16, 17-year-old kids are driving in. And the boys see the truck, and you can see them out of the word to the person in the car with them. Junior! Junior! And I was like, Amy.

You still got it, Dale. He still got it. These kids love this truck. I'm like, they think this truck... They all call it the rainbow truck. Yeah. You know, and you can see your truck coming from a mile away. It's actually yellow, orange, red, black.

It's a white truck. You put a striped decal down. Like Ivan Iron Man, Stuart. Remember the game? The four-bought, you know, the game he's playing? Dalton's like, no, sir. Man, man. All right.

So, but I was thinking about that predictive text, and I was predictive text. And I was wondering if you guys used a predictive text. Yeah, sometimes. I'm with you, though. I kind of feel like I'm cheating the person if I use it too much. Because you'll know. Yeah.

If I'm busy or I'm typing with like one hand, it comes in handy. Yeah. I try to use my, I use voice to talk. And I just will end it with, I talked into my phone. So if some of this doesn't make sense, I'm driving, I did not proofread it. Yeah. Like most people know, too, who you send an absolute ridiculous text like that, you talked into it. Yeah.

Everything's spelled out perfectly too. It's like I don't text like that, but I talk like that, obviously. Right. All the grammar is perfect. Yeah. I went into my phone the other day and redid my Siri to be, to talk to her, you know, redid the whole thing. You turn it on and off and it makes you go through the whole process of reading.

Hey, Siri, what time is it? Hey, Siri, you know, whatever, whatever. Just so it knows what you're saying. Just to read adjust to your voice because mine was, oh, it's all, I'm sorry. Never mind, Siri. I don't use Siri. I do. I do all the time.

I do that to call people. I do, I do that to call people. Hey, Siri, call in. He cannot drive in his car without calling and talking to someone. I don't like to touch the phone. Over the speaker loudly. I like to keep my hands on the wheel 10 and 2.

Why can't you just drive? Why do you have to call somebody? Because that's when I need to work. I'm working. Working that mouth. Yeah. All right. So I had to get Siri to relearn my dialect.

because she was failing miserably on some of these text messages. So the talk to text is real frustrating for me because it doesn't understand what I'm saying. I wish it did that better. You just send voice memos. That's not a bad idea. I do that with certain friends. I'll only send you a voice memo if you also send voice memos. I think it's weird to send voice members to people who don't send them back.

I agree. It's got to be that kind of a conversation. You can't just answer me on text to a voice memo. Yeah. But it is really fun, I think. It is funner. It's better, funner. It's better than trying to type it or talk into it.

It's something more gratifying. But I'm letting, I guess I'm bringing up this stuff about the predictive text because I'm just letting y'all know that might be something I do a little more often. Good morning. You know, don't be offended if you're, if you're picking up on it. But it's really my genuine feelings. Yeah. If it's like a, heck yeah, man, awesome, I'm really feeling that way. Yeah.

You know, I don't let, I don't get carried away. So I have a question about it. Since you can kind of program Siri to know your voice, will she pick up on common phrases that you use and put those in there for you? Or it's just a straight eye crap? I'll be like, what's that word I say all the time? I'm old. So I'll say that.

I'll be like, I'll talk to Siri and I'll say, I'm going to do this. and it don't it don't say I am what I am going to I am going to what is I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to way better than I'm going to yeah I'm will I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm will see you later I will tell it that and it doesn't know what that is all right let's play a game I'm going to eat a beef jerky no you're not don't start smack okay somebody asked me this the other day when we're doing it ask Amy what are Dale's Pet Pete, what are pet peeves of Dales?

I'm like, I can't think of him off the cuff, but one he does regularly. He also will call you while he's eating his lunch. He likes to smack in the phone. He has no regard for chewing into a phone or into a microphone and expecting you to just sit through that. Yeah, I smack my food too. You do? Yeah, if I'm hungry, I'm the only thing about scarfing this down. But just do it on your own.

Don't call somebody to make them listen to it. He'll call and be, like, offended when you want to get off the phone. He's like, I've been so quiet. I was like, I got nothing to say here. You're eating your lunch. I'm trying to get off the phone. Yeah. Because I'm, like, wanting to jump out of my skin.

And he's just sitting here chewing his cud. I'm hungry. This jerky boy's jerky is number one in my heart. Phenomenal turkey. Best in the world. Best in the world, number one in my heart. We sell it at the store here, and I'm going to invest. in this company.

He's the number one buyer. I'm going to invest in it. So we're going to have to sit through and we're smacking in the microphone is what you're saying. I'll put it down. It's so good, I just love it.

It's lean, it's healthy. There's no bullshit. Yeah, there is no bullshit. It's all very clean. It's like meat, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. No joke. Molasses.

What's this here sauce? Musheshire. It's got all the good ingredients. Yes, it does. No bullshit in there. I mean, I don't, I'm not like a jerky freak. I don't like buy jerky all the time, but this stuff come into my life and I'm very grateful.

I'm so grateful too for you. I'm happy for you. All right, let's play a game. Jerkyboys.com. Who's most likely to? So Alex is going to read a question out loud and we have to shout quickly who's most likely to do the thing. To do it. Yes.

Go for it. Yes. First one, most likely to say sorry first. Amy. Amy. Yes. All right. Number two, most likely to give a sarcastic comment back.

Me. I don't know. You think so? I think you both. We'll just go Dale. Dale thinks he's funny. It's smart ass. Not funny.

Dale thinks he's funny all the time. He said sarcastic and I took that as like rude or like smart ass. Sarcasm can be smart ass, but it doesn't have to be rude. Roodness and sarcasm don't go together, in my opinion. I don't think so either. Well, I love your humor, so your humor is probably better than. mine. It depends on the moment.

I think we're both pretty sarcastic people. I'm the bigger smart ass. Yes, you are. Next one. Who's the most unfiltered? Sorry? Unfiltered Ralph. Unfiltered.

Me. Unhinged, unfiltered, all that. Yeah. Most likely to keep a secret. Me. I'm like Fort Knox. Dale loves to share your secrets. I like the share the tea.

He's gotten better about it, but he literally, he likes to steal your thunder. like he can't let you have that joy he's going to take it he's like you gave me this tidbit sorry you're you shouldn't have done that uh who's more who's more likely to lock their keys in their car amy oh probably me likely to lose my phone

likely to lose my keys likely to like you know forget this and that yeah I'm distracted heavily distracted uh who is the funniest who I'll say Ralph that it's pretty even I'm funniest You should say me then.

Okay. Amy's the funniest. No, I'm not. I'm not the funniest. I'm more rigid than you are. You think I'm funny? You're a guppal all the time. You think I'm funny?

By sheer volume, you have to be the funniest. Amy gives me a hard time because I laugh at my own. Yeah, you're not supposed to laugh at your own jokes. Jokes. But damn, what's the... I mean, I'm entertaining myself. Yeah, you're saying them to make yourself laugh first. I know.

I am entertaining myself. Yeah. I saw a clip yesterday with, with Theo Vaughn, I forget who was interviewing, or who he was interviewing, but they ask, oh, no, it wasn't Theo. It was Jimmy Fallon and Blake Shelton. They're doing a thing on his show and trying to guess each other's whatever. And so one of the pet peeves that Blake said about Jimmy is that he laughs at his own jokes.

Yeah. And he's like, yeah, we're close. I'm going to tell you that. It's annoying that you laugh at your own jokes. Oh, wow. I like to. I'm not bothered that it annoys other people because I'm, I got, I got my laugh.

I had my fun. Yeah. I don't care if you like it. You got your jollies. Yeah, I did. That chair is really squeaking today. I'm sorry. It wasn't squeaking the first day.

We maybe we need to get the other one. No. You made your bed. I'm fine with this thing. I like it. I'm trying not to move as much. Do we have another one? Yeah, the next one is who's more romantic?

Ooh. Me. I'm more thoughtful. Wait, that wasn't the question. How are you romantic? How am I romantic? Or like, you want me give you a moment? Yeah.

Like, what do you think is romantic that you do? I had a dinner. I had, I fixed, I got the saloon emptied out and had one little table right in the middle so we could have dinner, had somebody playing music. That was for our anniversary during COVID. So it was 2020? It's been a while. Well, I mean, I'm just saying that was one.

one moment that I was where I was romantic. That's probably it. No. We've had other occasions. So, but you think that you're more romantic than I am? Here's how I'm romantic for Dale. I send him to QS on a surprise. What?

Like, romance depends on who you're speaking to. Like, you have to play into somebody else's needs for it to feel romantic. I was going to ask, what characteristics do you think you need to have to be romantic? I don't know, I don't really know what. that details. I mean, I don't think it's the same for everybody.

I feel like if you do that classic like chocolates dinner, like that becomes lame. Romance is like connecting with someone. You know what I mean? I didn't think that

sending me to K. West fell in the romance bucket. I thought it was more like, God dang, what an awesome gesture. I know. That's thoughtful. It's a romantic thing to do.

You without, you are miles, miles ahead of me in thoughtful. Yeah, so speaking of this, not to interrupt this game. We went and fed the swans yesterday He's been gone

He goes oh did you feed the swans I'm like yeah I fed the swans Of course I fed the swans I feed all the critters Like I fed the swans I was like you gotta make sure to do that While I'm gone this weekend Because we're going to the beach

And Dale will be back and forth From Wilkesboro And he's like of course I'm gonna feed the swans I feel like I've more What did you say? I'm more mindful of the swans than you are And I was like Of feeding them

Of feeding the swans Like feeding the swans You keep passing off your duty to Ila. You're not even doing it. Feeding the swans is more top of mind for me than anyone else in the house. That's what he thinks. And that's absolutely possible. There's only four people.

It's not like I got like a sea of competition. The fact that he thinks he's more mindful to take care of any creature or whatever we have flows me away. Not, yeah, I don't fall. I don't win this battle with the dogs, but the swans. Dogs, kids, donkeys, swans, the butterfly in the garage. like none of it. I'm doing all of those things. I think that butterfly a time or two, but I mean, it wasn't top of mind. Exactly. The swans, though, yes. I think about it every day. Have the swans been fed? Well, we're turning over a new leaf. No, it's just, it might not last for a long time,

but for right now, I think I am leading the pack and swan feeding mine. You're not leading them in the thought or the doing. So do we have another one? Yeah, we have a couple more. Who's more likely to Irish Goodbye. Dale. We have an elevator in our house that has a keypad on it because he used to Irish Goodbye so bad at his own parties. That's not true. That was to keep people from going upstairs.

And to let you go up by yourself. What the hell. I just get in a damn elevator. I go straight to the top. He went straight to the top to his bed. So it's bull's sht. It isn't bull's not why that was there. The keypad was to keep people from going upstairs.

The elevator is there for you to sneak out. I know. With the keypad. There's also a seat. staircase right next to it. You don't have to have the elevator to get up. I don't always Irish goodbye, but if I want to, I'm doing it. You have to. Yeah, but you're more likely. So much so that he used to do it pretty regularly. Some things we could just absolutely be even on. This might be one of them.

No, I'll just straight up say peace. And if y'all start screaming at while I'm walking out, I don't care. I just keep going. They don't know that. No. I mean, it's the best way to say goodbye, honestly. With a parade. Peace out and don't say it. Don't look back. Last one here is who is the most clumsy? Climsy, me. Dale can stub his toes pretty good on some random stools here and there,

but, I mean, I spilled my drink yesterday on the couch, just with my own hand, just flumbling. Yeah, I'm pretty clumsy. Wouldn't you agree? Yeah. Between the two of us, yeah. Yeah. I broke my damn toe about, was it two years ago?

Yeah. On a stool that's been the same place for five years. I broke the... Really? Yes, it was black and blue, ugly. You should slow down. So bad. Oh, it hurt.

We got any more games? We got to have one more game. We have one more game, yes. Let's give another game a go. All right, one more game. This is called same word association. So Dale and I are going to say random words at the same time, and then based on those two words,

we'll have to think of a new word that connects them. You do a practice round? I do. Let's do a practice round. Okay. So I can count down for you want to go three, two, one, and you guys can say a word. Okay.

And we have to make up the words? Make up a word. Just anything comes to your mind. The goal is to try to try to say the same. word eventually. Okay. But she'll get it like if, so we'll go here. Let's just say a word here.

Three, two, one. Race car. Cat race car. Okay. So use your synergy to try to figure out a word that you can get there between race car and cat. Okay. All right.

All right. Ready? Yeah. Three, two, one. Fast. You're supposed to say something. I wasn't ready. I didn't have my word.

He said ready. He said. You took off. You said ready and I counted down. You took off running that one. All right. All right. We got to start over, right?

No, start over. Race car. No, he's going to say three, two, one. Three, two, one. Hood. I get it. I wasn't ready. Right?

It's not as easy as it sounds. Hood? Are we going to do all car parts? Look, man, it's up to you if you want to steer me toward cats. All right, dude, go right. Three, two, one. Bumper. Pillow?

How has that got anything to do as a cat? It doesn't. Your word and my word are going to eventually have to come together. I know, but we went race car cats and we're supposed to get together. I went bumper. And I said pillow. And you said pillow, which is like not related to race cars or cats. I know.

Okay. So let's find a... I'm not sure I understand this game. Let's keep going. All right. Three, two, one. Head. Head?

Head? Your word has to do with your thing. my word has to do with my thing. Eventually our words have to get closer and closer until we come up with the same word. I know. We're not getting there. Shop and head.

Okay. Shop and head. Hang tight. All right. Okay. Three, two, one. Hammer. Okay.

Three, two, one. Dale Jr. Hammer head. No? Uh-uh. We're terrible at this game or one of us is. You're supposed to say nouns. It's like,

way I take this is we're supposed to say nouns and find our way into the same conversation to get to eventually the same word. Yeah. Yes. Dale Jr. is not a noun. It's a proper noun. A boss and a hammer. Is a Dale Jr. You're a hammerhead.

You're the boss. I thought. We need it one more round. I don't know. What does boss have to do with what you just said? You said head. You don't worry about mine. I'm supposed to because we're supposed to get together.

Our words are supposed to come to. We're supposed to eventually say the same word. So we have to worry about each other words. What did you say before boss? Shop. What did boss have to do a shop? You said head, so I thought the head of the shop. But what does boss have to do a shop?

Okay. We're getting closer, believe it or not. This game is not for old people. Old people. Think of yourself. I'm young. Yeah, right. All right.

Let's try one more. One more. One more round. Start over. Go. Ready? Two, one. Flag.

Okay. All right. All right. Ready? Three, two, one. American. All right. We're not that far off.

Okay. Three, two, one. Rope. Just solid. Oh, that one's going to be controversial. rope and pull Let's do it again Three, two, one

Microphone Okay Three, two, one Desce Foam Foam Shoe to desk You said microphone

So I was going Your way You can't What did you say foam? Foam Right, so I'm coming to you You started with shoe man I know and one of us has to go

Toward the other Get out of here How do you think we're going to get to the same word? You can't cheat and jump on my train. You have to stay on your train. Is that not what's supposed to happen? No, there's a lot of ways to do it. There's a lot of ways to skin a cat.

You're going to basically waste a turn, which really isn't wasting. If you go to her, then she figures out, okay, he's coming to me, so now we're on the same thing. That wasn't in the rules? Well, it's just a strategy. They're just making this up as you go, aren't you? How are we ever going to say the same word? We'll sit here forever if one of us doesn't come toward the other. I think that's the point.

You still have to come up with creative word that's similar that is in line with your first word or your last word. Let's try that route. Go ahead. Three, two, one. Shirt. Stuff around the room seems to be the theme. Yeah.

There is a perfect answer. James says it's a perfect answer. Okay, go. James is Googling back there. Three, two, one. Orange. It should have been caught. Cotton.

Cotton. I didn't think of cotton. You said plant and I went orange. I was thinking we were going to... All right. Three, two, one. Tree. Parking lot.

Bunk. Wait, no, I'm not coming toward you. Boom. Not coming toward you. I think we're done here. I think we're done here. I mean, that was very entertaining. So I think...

Oh, it was. It was very entertaining. I mean, we didn't really get to an objective, but I think it passed. You failed. miserably, but it was funny. But it was fun. So, high five. Hey, guys, it's Dale Jr. and Amy.

We are in the Dirty Mo Media Studios for another episode of Bless Your Heart. And we have a lot of funny stuff on the show today. Hopefully you'll tune in. Please hit the subscribe button if you haven't already. And we're ready for your questions. Yeah, our first question is from Denver. And they want to know, so the plant pot on the vodka cart in the background of the set. Yeah.

Are those boobs? Yeah, they are. You know, we're boob fans. fans are on here, so we have a boob vase. I bought this vase for Dale when I designed the house in 2008, and it's become like this topic, and we've moved it around, and here it is. Now it's for us to see here. Yeah, it's a, yeah, very big staple of the studio.

Every boob is the same, so no matter how you turn it, you get a set of perfect boobies. Okay. Good, I hope that helps ever. That's somewhere from Colorado saying hello. I tried to put it on the four-year table back to when the house is built. I think we talked about this on the show. So that's, you know, that, Amy brings that into the house. And I was like, okay.

I thought for sure it would be like his most prized possession. Well, I do. I do love the vase. It's still here. But he wouldn't let me put it on the four-year table just in case his grandmother came over or somebody. He was like too embarrassed about it. And we have, she had this giant photo. this really big giant frame photo

and it was these girls in their French Riviera probably I put this in the house the one in the beach house where the girls are sunbathing yeah it's a Slim Arons print from the 60s or 70s or in France like yeah the one I wanted

she was topless and I had it in the dining room so Dale was like that's where it was going so Dale's like absolutely not and so I settled for She's topless, but she's covered herself. Like she's sipping a soda or something and she's got her bottoms on. I was like, man, what if my family or grandma or somebody comes to stay here, we can't have this? Amy's like, I don't give it.

I don't. It's art. It's supposed to be, you know, make you think and make you. I mean, that's a great excuse. You try to tell my grandma that. And it's, you know, it's fun to make people feel slightly uncomfortable. I kind of relish in that. I'm lucky.

What a lucky guy. Yeah. That's funny. This next question is from Darcy. She saw your Instagram post, I believe it was yesterday or Tuesday. Did you guys get a pet turtle or just find one outside? We live in the middle of the woods, so we just had one just stroll across the driveway. And we have box turtles all around the farm, and I find him every once in a while.

But he was just hanging out in April, our nanny and Ila saw him out of the window. So they came outside to hang out with him. He was a good size box turtle. So he's like 25, 30 years old probably. I always send him to our fish tank guy because he is like, like well versed in all reptilians and all the things. And he's, you know, always happy to tell me. I didn't see this.

He's a pretty coat too, like orange or whatever. Yeah. And his skin on his head and his feet was bright orange and black spotted. You were in New York. I know. I'll show you the pictures. All right. But just tell me, like, what happened?

He was just hanging out in the driveway. Y'all found a box turtle in the driveway? In the driveway. And I put him in the planters. I did. You want to see him, Ralph? No, I just wanted to, because if I don't know, I don't have context, neither today.

Yes, he was in the driveway. Yeah. Yeah, he's cute. Yeah, great. I was scared to pick him up, so I did it. And he started scrambling, and he hissed at us a little bit. Oh, really? I never heard a turtle make noise.

Yeah. Yeah. He's like, I know where I'm going, leave me alone. Yeah. I don't need your help. Yeah. There's some people in the chat want to know if you would ever drive in Cleetus's mom pre that he did.

You know, probably not. And here's why. I don't think I have any business doing that. I didn't grow up around racing. I did the better half dash years ago and got taken out on the first lap. And the first time I even got strapped into that thing for practice, I lost my mind because I'm claustrophobic.

And Dale strap my, like, strap me in so tight I couldn't move. And I can't handle it. So probably not. I'm a weenie. It looked kind of fun. I'm sure it is fun. Next question. Dale's doing that staring thing.

Yeah, is I know. Danny wants to know. You guys talk a lot about music. So if you could only listen to your favorite song forever, or never hear it again but just keep discovering new music, which one are you picking? So favorite song forever or never listen to it again? Never hear it again. That's pretty easy.

Really? Yeah, that's a pretty easy one. I feel like even if it's your favorite song, everything starts to torture you after a certain amount of time, right? I think there's the odds that you might find a new favorite song. Absolutely. Yeah. If you're listening to new music all the time.

When is the last time you think you've updated your favorite song when people ask you? I have a rotating. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think I'd, do. And it's dependent upon the person asking. I'm like, I'm not sure if you're ready for this. I might give you this one. He plays to his crowd. Yeah, I don't think you're ready for the one I really want to tell you. I don't trust you to appreciate it. He just doesn't want your judgment. So is Eminence front your real favorite song or is that just? I'm like, no, there's like,

there's a song that I like and I'm like, yeah, I don't think you're going to appreciate it the way I do, so I'm going to tell you something else. I'm going to tell you what you want to hear. Wow What? That's my question in which group I'm in. Oh, I mean, you know, I think the more I get to know you, the more I trust you with that type of knowledge. Okay. That's very secret of knowledge.

Man, somebody takes themselves too seriously. When you first meet me, living on a prayer, man. That's not. Then it's some like really obscure shit down the line. Deep, deep, deep dark stuff. Yeah. Five years down the road, you're like, whoa, this is. I mean, there is some truth.

I guess you can't really hit him with like, I like bodies. Like, you know, I can't really hit him with that. Someone aggressive, but that's great. You're a level one. You get this song. You're going to get this when we get to know each other. Hey, I lied. Well, it's an obscure artist from Canada.

This is a B-side song from 1998. And they'll be like, well, you lost me when you said obscure. Yes, so sorry I asked. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. It's off the beaten path, independent. Yeah. I get that. next question is from Bella

kind of the same along the same lines would you rather travel to the past and meet your ancestors or travel to the future and meet your descendants Ooh Future descendants

Holy smokes We already know what happened in the history Right? Like the history of your family Where they were What their names were What they looked like We're pretty enough to know

Even like what they sounded like We're talking about Ralph I'm going to the past I want to see what my great great grandchildren look like And what life looks like I think the odds of you going there and being so freaking pissed off. Pissed off are so high.

Why? Gosh, I mean that you could be very pleasantly surprised, but there's, you're, knowing how you are as a parent, how my parents were, how, how we are as parents, how my parents were, we're going to go forward into the future and get there and go, why in the hell do y'all do this? Maybe they need me. Why are you wearing that? You know, we're just going to.

Why is no one wearing clothes? Why wear all the clothes? Yeah, I don't know what the future holds, but I'm not sure that I'm ready for it. And so I'd like to go into the past and be like, man, you boys ain't going to believe. Y'all don't know what's about to happen. Let me tell you some things. Yeah. The Back to the Future series were some of my favorite movies.

Yeah. I feel like, I mean, yes, going forward was frustrating for that whole scenario, right? Like, in that movie in particular? Yes. And going back to the Wild West was... Going back would be fun because you kind of know enough to keep yourself out of trouble, you know? And... I just don't think I'd be able to survive.

Let me ask you all this, though. Like an old rough wife. Has the Back to the Future movies, if you went back in time, right, and you go, are you like nervous about like upsetting the the path? The algorithm? No. I'd take full of edge of my knowledge. Would you buy the almanac and take it back with you?

Yeah. Well, I mean, not so much that. I'm talking about your own descendant, your direct, you know, if you go back in time and you're like, hey, you're hanging out with your fifth great grandfather or whatever. It might change your children's years. And you convince them to do something that you think is pointless or meaningless in the moment, but it changes the entire path of the family. You know, would you worry about that?

No, no. Because, like, it's, I have good intentions, I think. And then if somebody else down the line screws it up, well, it's not technically on me. Well, you know, like, he went back and he almost, like, erased his brother and sister, like, he screwed the whole family. Yeah. Well, that would suck. That would suck. I don't know.

I'm going forward. I think we've decided forward back. We talked about time travel on here, didn't we? A little bit. Of course, we've talked about time travel and aliens and Bigfoot and all the things. you know, everything's on the table. What era would you go back to? I mean, that's hard to do.

I know. Yeah. It is. What generation of your, what part of your family's history would you want to visit? Yeah. Yeah. Specifically? Damn.

See, because I don't think you can go back too far to where there's no, like, cars on the road or anything like that. I'd still like to have, like, the Model T or something. Oh, my gosh. You want to go way back, back traveler. Way back. I would probably Bubonic plague era So the Earnhardt's

traveled from Germany to Pennsylvania on a ship and I think I'd like to kind of I don't I know as soon as I got there I'd be like give me the hell out of here

But I think I'd kind of want to go back And see what they were What was up? You know? What was going on? Coming over? Huh? Coming over to from Germany

Coming over and what happened When they got here They get off the boat And somebody was sitting at a desk And we're like What's your last name? And they wrote it down and they gave them 200 acres or something like that.

I gave him a plot of land and said, all right, go to your land, do what you do. I'd kind of want to know what all that process was like because we kind of have it in our minds what you imagine it would be like. But big moments like that. Because the Earnhardt name was spelled so differently in Germany, but they got off the boat and they told the person sitting there

was they had to get off the boat, they had to pledge your allegiance to the queen, to be able to be citizens and be granted access to this property that was being given out. And the person wrote their name down as they heard it. And that's how the Earnhardt name changed. It was Aaron Hart. Yeah. Oh.

It changed because that's how that person writing it heard it, who was probably not German. They were just a person, right? Yeah. It was tasked to do that for that day. And then the name changed in the ledger from their own, right? And so I needed to be, I want to be there. Hey, whoa, whoa, you wrote that wrong. That's funny.

You spelled that wrong. That would be cool to see. It's kind of funny that we put it like that. That there's just somebody who was just... And you know how people talk back then? Could you imagine being around all those people? No, you could put in jail. They wouldn't let you hang out.

Just free willy-nilly on the street. They lock you up. Well, I think it's just funny that there was some guy that was his task for that day. And if he cared, he would ride it down right if he didn't. Oh, no. He was going to see so hundreds of people coming off these boats. He's just like, yeah, whatever. Yeah, this is your name now.

I mean, you got with you. Okay, one child. That's interesting. People are wondering what the drink of the week is in the chat. Oh, drink of the week. It's called a sugar plum lemonade. And I'll let Dale describe it because it's a special one this week. I'll be honest.

I don't like the Moscow mule stuff. So the one, the other, I'm just to be transparent, I wasn't a fan of the one. I wasn't a fan of the other one we had. But this one is really good. They, Sugarlands has an official moonshine of the, they're the official moonshine of the PG. G-G-A championship, which is this weekend at Quil Hollow and Charlotte. So there's a little bit of that lemonade moonshine in here,

two ounces of lemonade moonshine from Sugarlands, one ounce of our high rock vodka, four ounces of sparkling white grape juice, a splash of cranberry juice, a little bit of lime juice, and you're ready to go. It's really good. It's really good.

If they could make a big batch recipe, it would be good in like a container. Yeah, it's good. And just like pour of rice. It got like this. It isn't. But it has a sort of carbonation vibe. That's the sparkling like grape juice.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It tastes like a cooler, a wine cooler. A wine cooler. It does. Or wine coolering. It does.

It tastes like an old school wine cooler from the 90s. It's not quite that sweet. But yeah, it's good. Sounds like a nice drink to have on the golf course. Hot day. Hot day. Yeah. Perfect drink for that.

Yeah. Our last question is from Elizabeth. And she wants to know, Amy, if you could swap bodies with Dale for a day, what's the first thing you do? These questions are good this week. I know. They're good. Sorry for my name. I'd go get a tan. Go get a tan, really.

Whoa, hey. I want to see what that vod looks like brown. I'm dang it. I might spray tan the shit out of that thing. You can't make the, you're not allowed to make everyone laugh at me. That was a good question. That's a tough question, damn. Answer it for real now.

That's what I would do. No, you're not giving me a tan. What do you think I'm going to do? You know what you're going to find out that some is don't do no tan and he burns. I'm going to take you and spray tan you. I'm going to spray tan your bottom in the booth. I'm going to stand in the booth and be like, that's it.

That's the first thing I'm going to do. What else would you do? I guess I'm curious. I'm curious. I'm curious. I don't know. Open a bunch of jars. You got big strong hands.

This is a dangerous question. Man, my streak. That's fun. I'm so damn strong. Look at me go. Holy shit. That's amazing. That's a great way to stop. Oh, my gosh.
