This leads to one of the funniest stories we've heard yet from our very own Dale Earnhardt Jr. - the curious case of a hamster's broken heart.Last but not least, Ask Amy is full of fun questions this week, including:Where is the next vacation destination they would like to take the girls?Have they fallen for social media propaganda traps? (The answer is "yes, yes, they have.")Advice for going on a third date and how to make sure you don't get a fourth...Who said "I love you" first?The hypothetical battle we all need to know the winner of: Bluey vs. Paw PatrolHow late is TOO late after July 4th to set off fireworks?For more Bless Your 'Hardt content head to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@BlessYourHardtHigh Rock Vodka Drink of the Week – High Rock Mimosa.Must be 21 and over.

Guys, we're back in the studio this week for another episode of Bless Your Heart. I'm with my husband Dale. And we have Travis with us today. Alex is on vacation. He's in Mexico. I'm doing good. I wish I was Tim's. You wish you were Tim's?

Yeah. No, he doesn't want to be here. He wants to be in Mexico with Tim's. I don't blame you. Dale, where would you rather be. Cancun sounds great. I'm right where I'm supposed to be. The following is a production of Dirtymo Media.

Oh, yeah. This is way 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 high crap? I'm working. Working that mouth.

All right. All right. Let's get to our drink of the week. We have a cucumber mojito today, sponsored by high rock. So it's muddled cucumber and mint leaves, one and a half ounces of high rock, ice and lemonade and sparkling water. So take a sip, Ralph, should be really refreshing. Oh, that's yum. Yeah.

It's really good. Yeah. I was a little nervous about you with the mint, but. I don't mind. I don't taste too much of it. Yeah, it's more cucumber. Delish. It's very, it's like,

tastes like it, it's like the healthiest drink you could ever drink that has alcohol in it. Yeah, it does. I do taste the cucumber, which is interesting. But, and the men don't bother me. I've been getting into the mint here lately, especially the mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Yeah, that's about it. We aren't eating real mint, please. Any herbs are not touching his food. He just hits the ice cream. Yeah. So we were at the beach. We go to the ice cream shops in the evening, and we have TJ and his family with us, and they like to go to a specific ice cream store because they have, like, gluten-free, allergy-free, very specific ice creams.

And so we go in there and they don't have mint chocolate chip. So Dale and Nicole literally leave us and go to the other ice cream shop just to get mint chocolate chip. That was Nicole's preference. I don't know. It feels like a group choice. I will go to the ends of the earth. I will go to the ends of the block. The ends of the block.

For the flavor of ice cream. Yeah. I will go to the ends of the block. I got some really bad news. Of what? Yeah. Sad, sad, sad news. about what we are currently out of stock in the gift shop no beef jerky yeah they're out on amazon as well jerky boys beef jerky has exploded and if you follow my social media

I'm reposting that all these comments the people that have been able to acquire a bag or two talking about how it is truly the world's greatest beef jerky they're like all right yeah I've heard it they're pumping this up. Let me try it. And they'll say, damn it, they're right. And now it's out of stock. But there's light at the end of the tunnel, Travis, because I have helped the team at Jerky Boys purchase a dehydrator. Oh, another machine. A new, a new one. So you can double your output. We have four sort of mid-sized dehydrators that have been part of the production line since our inception. And I just bought a brand new dehydrator that is the size of all four of those combined.

So we will double our production. We are what they call scaling up. So they call it. And so in the jerky world, that's what they call it scaling up. So man, hang on to your hats because production's about to go into warp speed. And we'll be able to get back up on plane. with the demand. You understand?

We have had, we have had what they call in the jerky world a supply demand problem. Oh, is it just for jerky that phrase?

I'm sorry. All right, we can move on. Did you rehearse this in your mind in the truck? What did you listen to on the way over here?

I got you so wound up. I listened to some pop punk very loud. Very loud. I love it. He asked me if we wanted to ride together. I was like,

no thanks. It's probably good. I need, my own little piece. You know what? People take, people drink energy drinks to sort of get up and get going, I need to turn on some loud alternative pop punk

music. That's like taking speed for me. It takes the punk to the top. And I'm only using that. It's called scaling up. I'm only using that as an example because I saw a really cool comment on Reddit about Carson Hosevar's interview for the Dale Jr. download. This guy said he has, this guy was complimenting Carson.

about he has the speed and he's not afraid to use it. And this other guy said, that's something that could be said on the racetrack and in some infields. I thought that was really funny. That is. So anyhow, we have a couple things to talk about our, you know, just life in general. We kind of go through a what's up segment where we just do some life updates. And then we'll do, we got a game.

It's called poetry for news. Neanderthals. This should be funny. And then we're going to do Ask Amy and then our closing thoughts. But so life updates. You have one about Ila and Ila had a little tiny girl crush. Yeah. So we're at the beach for the fourth. And it's actual Fourth of July. We've done the golf cart parade, which was epic. And we're at our neighbor's house for a pool party. And there's a bunch of kids, a bunch of families. All the dads are in the pool with the kids and all the moms are just hanging out. serving drinks and snacks and whatever hang out. There is this one little boy that Isla has played with over there before, and he's about the same age.

And they were smitten with each other the first time they met. And this time they were like extra stuck to each other. And not in like a super obvious way, but they were like following each other around equally, not like he's chasing her. She was wanting to be close to him too. Just playing in the pool. I mean, they're seven. They're innocent little kids. And then at one point, I see that they're jumping off the pool,

the pool edge together over and over again, like a little team. And then they get out and he goes, hey, let's hold hands and jump. And she looks at him. She goes, no, thanks. And then they jumped together anyway. Didn't bother him a bit. But I was like, badda, girl. Keep making him want more.

Don't give it to him. And she said, no, thanks. She wasn't embarrassed about it at all until I asked her about it later. I made her cry because she was mortified. Dale facetimed us from the racetrack, and he's like, what's going on? I was like, well, guess what happened with Isla this afternoon? She got her got herself a little boyfriend, and she lost it. I mean, full-fledged meltdown tears.

Yeah. No, I don't. I'm like, it's okay. I love girls like boys. That happens. And she's like, it's not okay. She hit under the blanket for like a solid 10 minutes. Dang.

Living her on the couch. But it was precious. Yeah. And the golf cart parade's always fun. We went and did that first thing in the morning, and Dale and T.J. got to sit with us to do that. We basically tailgate in one of our neighbor's uncle's front yard on Sullivan's Island. And so golf cars, golf carts just hanging out.

We have a bar set up on the back of ours. It always is a little tough because it's usually mega hot. There's mosquitoes all in the yard. You're just trying to wrangle the kids to not get in the road before everything starts. but there was some really good floats this year. There was one float that was, so all the golf carts are like fully decorated in Americana, whatever, or people will make a theme.

Yeah, movie themes, all kinds of things. Yes. And so there's been a lot of like under the sea. Jalls. Just beachy stuff. We had a Waffle House car this year. There was a Baywatch car. And there's a lot.

There's, shoot, 40 or 50 carts? At least. At the least. Yeah. They're lead. It's on the back street, so it's not on like Main Street. So in your mind, if you're trying to imagine, it's kind of like a couple streets over, only like the quiet back street covered by trees, residential houses all up and down both sides.

And everybody kind of backs into each other's yards. And it's all golf carts backing into these spots, all the families and everybody gets together. And then here comes the parade. And it's led by the sheriff or the fire truck. and they come through and they throw candy and the kids bring buckets and fill the candy fill the buckets up and we just sit there and drink um you know and but then on this particular day the fourth was the day that we're supposed to leave to go to the race in chicago and so me and t.J were just kind of like oh man we got to get on a plane and go to chicago right and and like yes we're

excited about the race weekend, but damn it, you know, it sucks to have to leave this. Do you get the last day blues when you're on vacation? Oh, all the time. The last day blues are the... I don't really get that. Dale will literally, it's gotten way better than it used to, but he would absolutely like 24 hours in advance start getting frustrated and annoyed, especially in Key West. He'd start locking up the house and I was like, hi, we're still here.

Yeah. Like, we don't need till tomorrow. I'm running around the house. Like locking doors and dead bolts and... That's excessive. Drainning ice machines. And like, we're not leaving now. We're leaving tomorrow.

It's in the fridge of perishables. Yeah, just throwing stuff away. Do you ease it down on the last day or do you like this last day got to go hard? First day hard. I would rather go harder on the last day. I would too, but I couldn't never get my mind there. So he had to go to work, so he couldn't really do that. I was getting mad.

So he went hard the night before and woke up and was not feeling well. That's why this golf cart parade was a little hard for Dale. It was a lot of overstimulation. So Thursday, I thought that I had mentioned earlier in the week. Man, you know, me and T.J. had talked about going down to the pub, just sitting and having some beers. T.J.'s a lot of fun. He's not a heavy drinker, which is great. I don't, you know, at times I kind of don't mind hanging out with him because he's kind of moderate.

He's not like a liability friend. You have to worry about, you know what I mean? He's going to hang out and have a good time and go home when he's supposed to. But he will go sit at the pub. and have a couple beers and we'll have all the conversation conversation yeah and we have a lot of similar things that we we like you know in terms of video games and things to talk about and so um we had discussed going to the pub and he was all about it we didn't go uh i was like man you know maybe thursday night it's the night we'll go and uh said that like on tuesday or monday we were

there from sunday on yeah and so we were there for a while and he he he kind of forgot that maybe Thursday night was the night and everybody else. Everybody kind of was like, you know, it's been a long week. Yeah, everybody's exhausted. Everybody's exhausted. We've been in the sun all day, day drinking all day every day. And I'm in my mind on Thursday, I was like, hammer down. Today's my day.

Yeah. I'm going to get on pace and just going to hang in there. I knew that you had that mindset when I came. So I had a boxing appointment. They had a guy come into the house and like box with you. Tamela and I did that. Before we even did that class, he's downstairs in the pool by himself with a beer. floating around like an alligator just floating around and i'm like oh where are the kids upstairs with tj i'm

like he is he's got the hat on like there's no turning back yeah this is what he's going to do today i didn't know he was planning to stay up till two in the morning also and a damn sure didn't know he was planning to take tj to the pub the night before we were going to get up at eight for the golf cart parade no it didn't happen tj was exhausted and went to sleep at nine o'clock yeah not dail wait so you did you go out alone i didn't go anywhere i just got to go but at one thing 30, I text him and I was like, hey, man, come downstairs. We've got to get up early, blah, blah, he's like, well, I'm going to have to drive back from the pub. And then he laughs at his own comment.

Like, I knew he wasn't at the pub, but I could hear him walking around. You ever did it? The lights were on. She's like, he just wants attention so bad. He wants me to come up there so bad, even if I'm mad that he's willing to make a comment like that. I'm high risk. He is the liability friend.

I take all the high risk shots. I just turned off the lights and put my phone out. There's like a 5% chance she's going to come up there and drink a beer with me. 95% chance she's going to yell at me. I did neither, by the way. I went to sleep. See? So it was worth it then.

Yeah. High risk shots. Back in the day, I would have marched my sweet little ass up there and give him a new one. But I don't have the energy anymore. And I know he's full of it. Yeah. I could hear him stomping around. So we get up the next morning and I'm not feeling too great.

I'm actually feeling worse than normal. and we got a she's like all right i mean the damn i'd start throwing vitamins at him drink this eat this yes you've got to get your together get up this is the other thing and i know i'm wrong but the golf cart parade started at 830 right it starts at 9 oh or 9 we kind of have to get there and park around 830 right and i'm thinking in my head ain't no freaking way this was it was this early ever it's always been that early right and i'm sitting there going god dang i don't why would they have it this early i don't know so it's It's not so hot.

Yeah. So they do it on Sullivan's and then you do it on IOP. They do it on Sullivan's and then everyone moves to Isla Palms and then. It's an even bigger parade over there. There's a connector. It's a mile away. And they have a whole other golf cart parade on the other island and a lot of the same golf carts as well as every golf cart on Isla Palms. So it's even bigger.

More more more, more, more. More floats, more golf carts, more ambitious. But on Isla Palms, there's less, there's no trees. So you're sitting out there in the blazing sun. But there are a lot of people, you know, and what a lot of people do is, is they, they take, they drive around either the people sitting on the side of the road or the people in the golf carts have like five gallon buckets full of water with water guns. And water guns and they're shooting away water. And they're going to heck out of each other all the time. So that's kind of keeps everybody cool.

It's really, you're standing there wanting to get shot. It's really fun. And so had we had me and T. day, not had to fly at lunch and leave. We didn't even go to Isle of Palms and do that one. No. We skipped it. We would have been all in.

Hell, we would have decorated our damn cart and been in the damn parade. You know, we keep telling ourselves we're going to do that. I've bought all the stuff to do it one year. We just didn't. We got lazy. We need to do it. But, man, it's a bummer having to leave the party early. That's the worst.

You're leaving it early. People are still staying. Oh, everybody. around us, everybody around us, the family, the kids, everybody's just like, great, this is going be an awesome day, way to start the day. And me and TJ are like, we're getting ready to have to leave in two hours. It sucks. And so me and TJ get in a car and I've got this melancholy, just sadness. I got this melancholy, shoddy car that I drive down there. And it fit the person, it fit the attitude. You can't keep a nice car in the elements down there. I got a, yeah.

I like. So we have, you know, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, We have this place down in the South Carolina coast. And I like the fact that our car that we drive down there is very unassuming. It's like extremely unassuming. I don't even know what it's like a Chevy. It's an old Chevy Traverse. Old Chevy Traverse. I mean, it's like it's almost 18 years old.

I think it's a 2012. It's old. It stinks. It stinks. You know you can fix that, right? Huh? No, I mean, it don't. The stink came with the car.

It's embedded in the carpet. And at this point, there's just really, you know, we just drive it back and forth from the airport to the house. And then we drive the golf cart everywhere. The salt air and all that stuff is going to destroy everything down there. That house, the, everything about the house is just kicks the house's ass, all of it. And so the wiring, the gas lines, electric, everything, you've got to stay on top of it, which I like. I like the, I like that I need to be responsible and tinker and fix. but I ain't put no nice car down there.

And the same thing, kind of with the golf cart. We're sort of on a, we're in a phase where maybe. We're in a conversation constantly about a golf cart. But I'm cheap and I buy this used rental that's been beat too shit. This rental has been used for years and buy everybody and they've run the crap out of it. Well, I buy the rental, take it apart, put new batteries in it, paint it, make it look good. People even stop us and go, that's cute. Do you ever think that they do that just to see what the story behind this whole situation is?

Like, it's as cute. Where'd you get that? Well. You know, like I don't really like it, but I want to know what's going on here. My golf cart cost me five grand. If you buy a new golf cart today that's going to haul six people, it's $20,000, $25,000. It's ridiculous. And so.

But they have like really safe buckles and all the things are new. Our buckles buckle. Our buckles buckle sometimes. And the girl, like, you have to help the kids do all the things. These, they're all rough. I can get all new buckles. It's like the buckles on the buggy here. The word buckle is a lot.

So let's say, you know what happened though that was really nice that I thought was funny and awesome? Is TJ rents a golf cart for his family. Nice new carts. Probably a couple years old. It is a rental, but it's cut. It's a really cute. Really cute cart. They bring it there.

And I plug this thing. We plug it in to charge it. and I have one of those retractable extension cords on a wheel. It blew my extension cord up that I've been using on my golf cart for five years. So we have a series of old shit that works fine together. But the new stuff doesn't work with the old stuff. If you get anything past 2015, it won't work. I'm like this new golf cart is a piece of crap.

I can't even charge it. No, your cord is a piece of crap. No, no, my cord's fine. Travis, thank you. Thank you. My cord is great. Only if it's used with an old model. No, my cord come.

I'm both of them. The cord is five years old. We really got a man. Now that's good job. Anyways, I'm sitting there going and there. So Tamila and Amy are still there with the kids. We're leaving them. And I'm like, hey, y'all, you know, can't charge your brand new rental golf cart.

So be, you know, be aware. Mine is great. Mine is charged, still working very trustworthy. the if you need to go anywhere, probably use my, my, uh, my, uh, golf cart. I will say it worked this week and it's worked well lately, but I have had two instances with other moms with small children in the heat where that thing has broken down. Yeah. And it has been a miserable experience.

Like one guy had to come and replace all the batteries. Yeah. It was stuck in the middle of the road. One of the battery posts melted off. How am I supposed, like that's not even something I can work through. That was interesting. Well, that ain't really the golf. golf cart's fault.

Whose fault is that? That's me. So there's maintenance that you got to do on golf carts. You've got to keep them batteries full of water and all of those things. And down there, that's kind of something that I probably need to stay more on top of. It just never happens when he's driving it. It always happens when I am driving it. Well, Amy, I know why that happens too.

Oh, because you can't drive it. You can't drive it like you're supposed to drive it because then it falls apart. No. Can't push the gas all the way down, Travis. Amy gets on the golf cart on the floor. We're going. It's a golf cart. We're ready to go.

Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest, bless your heart gear, go to shop.durdymomedia.com. We've got plenty of options for everybody and adding new stuff every day. Go to shop.durtymomedia.com. I had an S10 pickup truck restored. I had an S10 when I just started driving at 16. And I've always wanted another S10 just like it. And so I had, I bought S10, had it kind of fixed up.

Oh, you're going to tell on me now? I just realized what you were about to do. Me and Amy were down at the sloon, hanging out, raising a little hill. And he needed something from the house. Yes, and Amy's going to, I'm going to run up to the house and get this. Amy gets in my little S-10 and I hear her all the way up to the house. Wah! And I'm like, holy shit, this thing.

It's like an old S-10 restored. I'm like, she's running this thing like four times harder than I would. And I'm like, damn, man. The music's so loud in the truck. I can't hear what the car. sounds like. Well, she just jumps in it, puts it and drives and drives. And she's like, on the floor.

Whoa. That's not how I drive any car. That is not true. And so I'm like, okay. It was like stuck between the gears or something. It wasn't, it wasn't. It was. It doesn't shift.

It's an old, old transmission, all that. So it doesn't, you kind of got to modulate the throttle to get it to shift into the next year. And she's just like full throttle. And it's like, he's got a new model lady. And he's got all these old model cars. And he's expecting me to know how to drive. But she gets on the golf cart and she's like on the mat and it's like,

when we ride and he's driving, the girls are like, Dad, where are we going so slow? They did that yesterday. Went on the feed the swans. The girls are on the back wanting to go fast. Daddy's a race car driver. We want to go fast. And that's what they think. That's what I think.

And he's like, nope, we're just cruising. And they're like, God, the mosquitoes are getting us. Can you go a little faster? Isla has like armful as a mosquito virus. because he was going that slow. They got those down at the pond. No, they didn't. This is a new golf cart.

We're not getting a new golf cart until this some just combusts in the flame. It's going to have to split in half and fall apart right in front of his face. Amy, give you the address. I'll make a road trip and we can all sabotage it for you. I'll send you the address. You can sneak in. I'll tell you exactly where to get around the cameras. My golf cart has, it has a tailgate on the back.

It's like got a little bed. Do it haul shit? We hold the trash. We hold trash now on our golf. We are a trash truck. We have a ton of freaking trash. Man, when we go to the beach, we accumulate so much trash. We cannot put it in the cans and expect the cans not to overfill.

Well, also there's the rats. And we're never down there when trash runs. Trash runs on Thursday or Friday, and we're never there on Thursday and Friday. It sounds like when people say your golf cart's cute, it's not a compliment is what it sounds like. It sounds like it's a tee up for an explanation. Our golf cart's good. We're not getting a new golf cart. We're just going to have to wait until the wheels fall off.

That's right. I'll buy new wheels. He'll buy new wheels. That's probably true. But back to the golf cart parade. So we're going to do a theme next year. And the girls want to do under the sea. I think we're going to have Aunt Jamie B.

Ursula. I really want everybody to be race car drivers or like all of us are Dale Senior. Why can't we do what we want to be? Because I don't have. You're not going to be there. Oh, that's right. You and T.J. will be gone again.

It'll be on Friday or Saturday. It'll be on Saturday morning. Yeah, we'll be gone. And you'll be gone. So it's just a bunch of girls. Okay. Which is why it would be more fun for us to dress up like race car drivers and I'll be like little dudes. I think that would be so fun.

Little mustache. Yeah. It's going to be hot. But you need a fire suit and that's going to be hot. It's going to be hot. So that doesn't work. Well, it'll be fine. We could tough it out.

Yeah. Yeah. That's true. They have like spandex ones too that aren't probably insulated. Like not a true fire. And I do have a little dress-up one that one of the girls can wear. That's an actual old jail senior. It's got the helmet and everything.

Before we move on, I wanted to address the children's book in the room. The new Buster book is out. This is a Halloween-themed book. Buster and the race car graveyard. So everybody knows we have a race car graveyard on our property. And Buster and his friends are going to go through the race car graveyard. graveyard. Me and Amy, with each book that we make with Buster, me and Amy get more and more involved because we start to, you know, it's just become more and more comfortable to kind of

immerse yourself into writing and all of that, yeah. Like asking for things to be a little different or writing it little, you know, writing the writing a little different to where it's easier to read. So now that I've been able to take these books into schools and stuff and read them in front of kids, you'll read it and you'll go. And it's hard to read that little part. I'll be more aware next time we get into writing the book on how it should read. And so I'm excited about this one. I think the cover looks amazing.

Great, great design. Our illustrator is Ella. And she's been with us obviously since we started this. And she does such a great job. There's a buster. Character named after your mom in this book, correct? There is. So I'll read the new characters.

If you've got any of the Buster books, you know some of the characters that we've had in the past. Coach Hogg, Jimmy Jam, Click, Buster, obviously, and Scuff. They're all in this one as well. But there's a couple new characters in this particular story. And one of them is, let me get to it. Brenda is a rusty car that is a ghosty car that is a guy. ghost in the graveyard. It's basically kind of like Buster and his friends are going through what might be like a haunted trail.

Haunted Forest. What you might do during Halloween with your friends. And Brenda is playing, jumping out and scaring some of the kids. And so, yeah, that's pretty fun to kind of weave in some characters that are connected to real people in your life. Yeah, there's a lot of people in there that have inspired some of the characters. So you can get this pre-weigh. order online at all of your major retailers, and it's released on August the 12th. The retail store here at Junior Murder Sports will have it as early as next week, so you can stop by and buy one

right here. Okay, we're going to play a game. It's called poetry for Neanderthals. So Dale and I each have a list of words that are different, and so we're going to have to try to do our best with one syllable words describing our word to get the other person to guess it. All right, Ralph's going to go first. All right, ready? Yes. Hot, wood. Fire. Smores. Campfire Light match Bonfire Barbecue

I had two hamsters. You did? Oh, I had a bunch of hamsters. That's weird. I had a little. Hamsters are weird. I was a fucking kid. It doesn't make, is it still weird?

Are you serious? My sister had a guinea pig and I thought it was so weird. Who is, who said, I've never ever heard anyone say, man, hamster owners are just weird people. Like, what do you do with it? Yeah. I was eight or ten years old. Okay. Do they crawl around the room?

People have rabbit, snakes. That's weird too. Really? I would classify a snake owner as a weird. Let me get a gerbil. Like, huh? Get a gerbil? That's so weird.

Get a dog. Honey, go get the cedar shavings. We need to change them out. I don't know. I feel it. You just hold it. Things like that. Do you hear these people?

It's weird. Y'all are weird the way y'all think. I had. So. What happened to your hamsters? I got to tell you. I'm feeling this is a bad ending. Yep.

Do you remember Days of Our Lives and Patch and Kayla or what? Patch and it was patching somebody that were romantically involved in the soap opera days of our lives. Is that the t-shirt your mom always were? Yeah. No, that, that, yes. That was a show, but not them. That was a show, but the couple before they fell off a boat or something. Patch and Kayla.

Patch and Kayla. Patch and Kayla. So my, this is like in the 80s. and I named my hamsters patch and Kayla. And they, I had one aquarium and they had babies. Oh, my. And so I've got the hamster with the babies and Patch. Patch is taking the babies out of the nest and take them across to the other side.

He's mad. Is he going to eat them? I don't know. That's what they had, that's the fear. And so they, he was trying to separate the baby and the mommies because he was, he's now like jealous or whatever. So I had to put patch in his own aquarium. And that didn't go well.

The patch didn't take that too well. You killed your hamster of a broken heart. I think so. I think that's what happened. And then, you know, the babies, it was too much for me. Too much for a 10-year-old. That's a lot for anyone. How do you deal with tiny little hamster babies?

I didn't know. I was not ready. I was not ready. We weren't ready to scale up. See where we think this is weird. Notion comes from. This whole situation seems like something that an eight-year-old boy should be going through. I can scale the shit out of some jerky.

But scaling up hamsters. Hamsters, golf carts can't scale up. No. I will never. They're here to die. I will never, you know, always in our hearts, Patch and Kayla and the babies. We need a T-shirt made. The rest and peace.

May you all rest in peace. Always in our hearts. Oh, my God. I'm so excited. I'm excited to get to go on vacation with you today. I will never forget, Patch, man. He was, me, boys. You're like, you're in time out,

and he's just decided to go ahead and just fall over. I was doing what I thought was right. And it just, I'll never forget it. Anytime I think, anytime the word hamster is mentioned, this is where my mind goes. I bet. You got some trauma. I do.

Oh, man, Patch. I don't know. This is neither here nor there, but the aquarium, the second aquarium that I got was a hammy down or something, then the bottom of it was cardboard. And he ate the bottom of the cake. He ate the bottom of it out.

Yeah. And find a way to escape and get, and I, dumb ass me had him side by side. So he's sitting there looking through the glass going, that's what I had. Now here I am. I'm in jail.

I'm a hand-me-down jail. And where I want to be is literally right here. Killed him. You tortured his asshole. God dang, Dale. This has been a funny one. Are we good for Asg Amy? Oh, we're going to do Ask Amy shit, man.

We still got more laughs. Hey guys, Dale and I are back in the Dirty Mo Media Studios today for another episode of Bless Your Heart. We've talked about a lot of funny things. If you haven't already, please hit our subscribe button on our YouTube page and also check out our merch at shop.dirtymo Media.com. there is a new merch competition happening. I'm wearing one of the shirts here.

This is Haven's shirt. So we have some staff members that have designed shirts and they're having a heavy competition at the moment. Dale's going to model a couple for you. I think there's five in total. Is that right, Travis? Sit down by the mic, Dale. We can't hear you though.

There's five in total, but a couple of them don't have their shirts down here. Okay. We're going to put the link in story for you so that you can see them all. That's a Darlington Stripe on the Dirty Moe. Mo. Yes.

And mine says Heart on the Rocks, which obviously is the cutest, right? Yes, it's the best. It's the best. So we're here for Ask Amy. What are you got? All right. So first question comes from Bruce. Do you have a location that you guys want to take the girls on to vacation that they haven't been to yet?

Disney Cruise. We are doing a Disney Cruise. We are very excited about that. like to take them just down to the islands and do like a catamaran boat thing in the Bahamas or something. I feel like that would be fun. We did take Isla to the Bahamas when she was tiny. And some of the other families that were with us had younger kids. And it was a blast. We just boated around, played at the beach all day. Yeah. And now they're of the age where they can remember these things. Absolutely. Yeah. They would. They would remember. They would enjoy like seeing the turtles and them stingrays and all the things.

Yes. It would be fun. Next question comes from Claire. What propaganda have you found for recently that you've bought online? So something you saw someone advertising that you bought. I like an ad. I really am like one of those people that falls victim to buying things I see on ads. I did just see one of my girlfriends post about a certain makeup. And I'm like, I kind of stick to what I know works for me.

So I've ordered that. I have yet to try it. But nothing like gadgety. Oh, I did just buy these bowls. So take it back. from Crow Canyon, I think, is the brand. They sell serving bowls and trays and things that are this metal speculally painted, but there's a mixing bowl that's literally this big around.

And I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I did just unbox that yesterday. Wait, so you bought this with no idea of what to do with it? Well, so in the in the video, she's making like family-sized catered, like catering-sized pasta salad or a salad. It's good for like our get-togethers, but I don't have like a direct need for it in the moment. but I thought I have to have that just because I've never seen a bowl that large. And I'm constantly trying to find something big enough to mix like pasta salad or whatever I'm making for earnhard gatherings or a birthday party or something.

So it'll get used. But I was blown away how big that was. I could fit like Gus could lay in it. It was that big. Holy. He could curl up in that thing for sure. Yeah. I bought this thing that you stick to the floor.

And it's a little flap. and it holds the door shut. So if you got a door that wants to, you know, that you want, if you got a door that you like to keep open, but it's not level and it kind of likes to walk shut, this thing sticks to the floor, has a little flap.

The door goes over the flap, knocks the flap down, the flap pops back up and holds the door shut open. And can you send that to me? It's plastic and it's piece of it. It's plastic. We need a redesign. No, it's,

I mean, it works, but if I put that on the floor and Amy saw it, she'd go, what the hell is that? And I bought it for the, I bought it for our basement, a door downstairs in our basement, and it doesn't stick. The one of the way back? It just doesn't stick to the floor's textured and it doesn't stick to it. Have you thought about seeing if you could fix the door? Yeah.

That's one thing we could do. He did, he does like to go ham on a door. I bought two or three of these things for, and they're like, you know, 12 bucks a piece or whatever, or 12 bucks three even. I don't even know just garbage and didn't use them. We do have like latches on some of them. Yeah.

This next question comes from Travis. It's me. Any advice for going on a third date? I was going to ask you about your dating life because we haven't talked about it since I was in forever ago and we were swiping on the girl, right? That went through dry January? Yeah, and that didn't go anywhere.

So you're on a third date with the same person. Tomorrow. What have you done with her already? Did drinks first and then dinner and drinks for the second. Okay. Is this like Simon says, like dinner, dinner drinks. Dinner drink.

No, but like the first one, first day you just like to get drinks because then like it makes it keep casual and lighthearted. Damn, Travis. Is she? Mr. predictable. Like you could take her out on the lake. You could do a do you want to take her on your friends yet or are you not going to do that? No. I feel like a movie's kind of boring just because you're not going to really talk to each.

I'd go throw some axes. Really? No, okay. I've done that on a date before and that's not. It's a little scary. You take her to a escape room. I, and you'd be a terrible partner.

I hate escape rooms. I do too. So if somebody took me to an escape room on a date, I would show my ass. Like, I literally would freak out and scream. How about that's a great way to break up? That's a good way to break up. Then you're stuck in the room.

It's a real good way to break up, Dale. Dale spent a lifetime trying to do that. If you're like, you're wanting to break up with them, but you don't know how to do it. You can take them to the escape room and just be a terrible partner. And they'll be like, I hate you. And you'd be like, God. See you later.

Got it. Ding. Oh my God. I'm so lucky. I'm so lucky. You can't have yourself a winner. He's so romantic. I don't know.

What about brunch? So we were going to do Friday night, but I guess you could do Saturday brunch. Is it not a sleepover? We're not sleeping over yet. find out. Oh my gosh. Maybe you get to do both. Never know.

This is like, he needs some real advice. I know. She's trying. You're talking about escape rooms and axe throwing. I would want to go to dinner again, take her somewhere nicer. Okay. Maybe. Upscale the dinner.

Upscale the dinner. Yeah. It was all about upscale this conversation. Hey, I would say you could give her some jerky boys beef jerky. But they're sold out. Greatest beef jerky in the world. I mean, Wouldn't you want to give somebody something that's so incredible?

Maybe if they're still together by Christmas, so he can put some in her. That would truly show her. I feel like that's a five-year anniversary gift. Hey, that would be a great way to show her is how much you care about her, to give her something so incredible. And something that's so hard to get. Yeah, and something that's really possible.

I've scoured the ends of the earth for this bag of turkey. Oh, my gosh. I don't know if this is much help, but I would upscale the dinner. And then maybe there's another experience or like a bar you could go to for cocktails afterwards. Okay. just to kind of change up in the scene. Are you nervous, though? Don't you feel like if you take her to a bar for cocktails,

it actually kind of presents this opportunity to be like friends on and like her to go, really? I'm not into this. I'm not taking her to the bar bar. You're taking her to a nicer swanky place where you can just sit and talk. He's thinking like I'm sitting at the corner of a dive bar. Going to Hanks. And I'm really not talking to anybody.

I'm going to Hanks. you know, see you tomorrow morning if I can remember from here on out. I guess that's what he's got to be careful with if you're a guy and you take her for drinks and cocktails. Don't take her somewhere where... Have a couple waters while you're at the bar.

But don't take her somewhere where you might end up like being more interested in having the good time that you usually have there. That's why you go to an upscale. Besides... Go somewhere new for both of you. Your attention...

You can't go somewhere where your attention erodes away from the date, her, the purpose. Yeah, you go to a place that sells wine, like upscale cocktails and stuff like that, not where like they... There's places that sells wine. There are like piano bars and all kinds of fun stuff like that to do downtown. Publix. Go to Lowe's grocery store.

Dale. They have a bar. They also have carrot cake. So speaking of relationships then, Bella wants to know who said I love you first. Oh, man. Do you remember? I think I said it first. I'm sure I did.

I mean, I remember it, but I probably shouldn't share all the details. You said it, you should have said it shortly after. I don't remember this. Tell. No. Why not? Dale. Shouldn't we tell?

No, I don't think so. Just, you told me you loved me? Yes. All right, great. And you set it back. That's how it happens. I think that's probably common for most people. It just flew out of my mouth.

I didn't even mean, it wasn't like an intentional moment. It was like, I don't mean it. It was like, I don't know. I will, I will, I will speak for her. Okay. She was like an uncorked bottle of champagne that had been shaken up. And she was, it was just, it just escaped out. She was holding it in for all this time.

And finally he's like, could not stop it from flying out of her mouth. And part of me was like, oh, no, what did I just do? Did you feel pressure to say it back, Dale? Or were you already thinking about it? I was probably already thinking about it. So that's why I thought. He said it back very quickly. I was probably sitting there going, man, I really love this girl.

I want to tell her I love her, but I don't want to not get that. I can't be uncool. Well, no, I didn't. I was like maybe she'll out. I was just assuming she was going to go, whoa, whoa, slow down, chill out. He was probably also still thinking about that escape room thing. No. Like, I'm not sure yet if I really want to keep her around too long.

So if I tell her, I love her. I can't take her the escape room. I need to know that she loves me first before. Take her there. Escape rooms back then. They had other... Come on, Dale. Yes, he did.

No, I don't know if they did. It's like a new thing. Yeah, they didn't have them back then. No. We're not that old. We are. You are. Well, that's interesting.

I didn't know she said it first. I can't wait to hear how your date goes, Travis. I'll full report. Last time I text you guys and said I should have listened to Amy. Yeah. If it doesn't feel right, you should just keep going. Wait, what's not doing right? You're already predicting failure?

No, no, no, no. We were talking about him. In his third date? No, this is last, this is December. January. Yeah, it was January. He was going to go on a date with this girl and she was like, oh, I'm doing dry January. Yeah.

I'm like, we should probably just swipe and he said move it to February. Yeah. But apparently that it didn't go anywhere. This is a totally different person. Yeah. Now he's up to speed. Good job, Bill. What other questions?

Next question comes from Daniel. Who would win in a battle the characters from Bluey or the characters from Paul Patrol? And who would you want to win? Oh, I would want Bluey to win. That is the best cartoon. ever. I feel like Paul Patrol because they're first responders and they know. Well, they got tools.

How to, they know how to fight. They got all the trinkets. And the, yeah, they've got like superpowers and stuff, don't they? They do. But I would want. You have like a hose too from your fire. Like you can.

They're first responders and they probably do have some training. I would, I would want the dogs to win. They probably have some training. Not the Paul Patrol dogs. The dingo's. Bingo the dingo. No? Or is she a Blue Healer?

I don't know. I've never seen either of these. You haven't? It's really funny. It's cheeky. It's hilarious. They're Australian and it's awesome. You've never seen Bluey?

Nope. Yeah. The Bluey characters will probably meet the Pop Patrol and then want them to role play in the backyard. That's true. That's true. Yeah. So they would probably get their asses kick pretty quickly. It would be a sneak attack by Bluey and Vingo.

Oh, really? I think so. Yeah. They are pretty creative. Yeah. They seem to be able to talk their dad into doing everything that they want. want. Last question comes from Derek. How late after the 4th of July can you set off fireworks? I don't know. We didn't even make the fireworks this year. The boys left and didn't keep us rolling.

So we were in bed. They shoot off at the beach at 9. No, but not like the time of day like after the 4th of July. So like tonight can you set off fireworks and is it okay? I feel like all weekend. So the 4th of July was on a Friday. People were shooting fireworks off in their yards all weekend. So tonight, could you do it? I mean, I wouldn't be annoyed. Who didn't like fireworks? I feel like you've got it through the weekend and let's put it to bed. Really?

I agree with that. People are trying to get on with their wives get to bed and you're setting off fireworks. Well, if it's happening lately, yeah, that would be annoying. But, I mean, we have stuff like that happening around our house all the time. I would say that the person that is still shooting off fireworks on Monday after the weekend, you can't really trust that person. What if they didn't get the weekend off? They would be the kind of person that would tell you, like if you're like, hey man,

I'm going to go to the pub for some beers. Yeah, I'll meet you down there and they never show up. I mean, setting them off on Monday, they would have had Sunday off at the worst. I don't know. Some people worked all weekend. I don't know. Then figure it out.

Are they working at 10 p.m. every night and they have Monday. They're all like, no. Monday's too late. We're back on, we're back on the life train. I didn't expect you two to be so rigid, but okay. No fun. No more fun. I've got a couple fireworks laid in the garage and I want to shoot them off,

but I won't do it. I'll have to wait until next year. I don't know what it is. Since me and you are busy on Monday, we don't want, we're like, hey, we were supposed to party, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And now we're working, so you should be working or not. You can't keep partying. Yeah, you got a couple days before the holiday.

It's FOMO? That's what Joe's problem is? No. I didn't. I don't care for. He won't admit it. I don't really care for fireworks much. That's the problem.

You're just a fun police all together. Now it's not great. I don't even like fireworks. You have. Did you get burned as a kid with one? No. I just never. If I'm,

they're out, like cool, but I'm not going to be like, I need to go buy fireworks and you set them off. Oh, I freaking love doing that. Pulling up to the fireworks stand at home

because you can't buy them in North Carolina. So like in Texas, in South Carolina, you can just buy them everywhere. It is so much fun getting to the stand. And, like, you've got your mindset on sparklers and some simple stuff that the kids can play with. And then your eyes get big and you're like, oh, what does that do? What is that doing?

And the guys are actually really good. And he pulls up the box from, you know, the not displayed stuff. We bought like. These are the illegal fireworks. These are the illegal fireworks. Have fun. Do you ever have Roman Candle Wars? We never, no, we didn't do wars.

But yeah, we had like, my dad had metal tubes made for us to hold them, make them safe. Safe. We shot each other with Roman Candle. We were a bunch of little girls. We didn't do that stuff. We have it on video. Did you? Yeah.

I mean, I've done it. I'm just not a big firework person. But I think you got a couple days before the holiday. You can set them off and then by the weekend, moving on. Okay. That's my stance. And that's all we got for asking me. All right.
