Hey guys, welcome back for another episode of Bless Your Heart. I'm here this week with my current husband Dale, and we're at the beach again. Have you? That's messed up. I've been dying to do that. I've seen it on social media, and these guys, like, freak out. You've probably seen it too many times, too. It didn't shock you enough, but it's funny.

It is funny. The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Oh, yeah, this is what it's going to be, girl. if we're going to hang out. Open a bunch of jars. You've got big strong hands. Are you suffering from high craft? I'm working.

Working that mouth. So our drink of the day, we got a high rock drink of the day. This is just high rock and soda. Amy, it's called the Red Ambulance. Coca-Cola is technically known as a Red Ambulance. If you are having a little bit of a hangy. And so today we have High Rock and Coca-Cola. Yeah, so if you're not feeling all that awesome, this might get you back.

Dale had a big day yesterday, so he's a little bit in need of the Red Ambulance this morning. But as you know, check out High Rockvodka.com to find High Rock in your area. They have a store locator, and then also try to remember that you have to be 21 or you over, and you must drink responsibly. We have had a little situation down here at this beach house, and we can't keep up with the wasps. And the rate at which they will build new nests. Like literally we were sitting at the table on the back porch, and there's a wasp nest on the bottom of the table.

I mean, my knee is literally feet, one foot. You had thought, too, it actually stung him because of his reaction. He, like, jumped out of the chair and threw the chair back. And he's like, oh, my God. When I saw a was... Did he get you? I saw a was fly under there.

And I'm like, man, he's the only one reason he went under there. So I look down and I'm like, damn sure he is. Been sitting here for 30 minutes with wasp teaming all around my legs. But, so we, they are just, you know, they are building everywhere. And the corners. Oh, yeah, all up in all little corners and corners and... crevices of the out exterior roof and we saw we saw a wasp fly up into deck roof and we go over there and look and dude it's massive it's like the size of my fist this was nest and there's

15 wasps on it and um the way the way that you have to to get to the the nest, you kind of got to get up against the rail and almost shoot the stuff, the stuff's going to land on you. You don't want that stuff landing on you or breathing it even. So like, you had to, you had to do a real cumbersome way to get to it. And I wasn't quite ready to commit myself physically to that. But Amy grabbed the bottle and went and sprayed them. And, uh, and, well, here's the thing. We all wanted to sit outside and it's on the porch. with like the big table and everything is right nice to the bar. So we're all waiting to sit outside.

And Dale, although he has the spray that shoots like 20 feet in there and you don't have to stand that close. Like you said, you do have to stand underneath it and spray back up into the ceiling because it's at an angle. I'm like, give me that can. Like, why are we waiting? He's like, I don't know. I'm just not ready to do that.

I'm like, I'll spray him and I'll run inside. Everybody get inside, leave the door open. And so I sprayed the heck out of it. And then it was falling on me. I just put my hand above my head like this and spray. and then ran off. And it started, they just started falling off and clops. And the eggs were falling out of that thing.

It was absolutely repulsive, to be honest. So I got stung on the nose about two years ago. I went over to the kids play set. And I had this long extension thing. And it was kind of like a duster for high places. And I hit that dang watch nest trying to knock it down. And they come after me. and boy I fell skimp my leg knees all up but uh so that particular day i told him i said

there's a giant wastes nest in the place that you need to get some spray and go out there and handle it and he said i don't need no spray so he goes out there in his bare feet with in sweatpants and with like a bat or a fly swat or something he's just going to knock it down i'm like you really should spray it first before you go knocking it down well he didn't listen and is at the top inside the top part of the play set. So he's got to like climb up a little tiny ladder or slide down the slide to get out of there. And he knocked it down and came down and just kind of sat to watch it. And then they started attacking him.

And he's backpedaling and falls off the edge of the playset ring that's like got bricks all around it. Falls in the yard, gets stung right on the nose. It was epically funny. Like we were watching through the windows in the house just like die and laughing because of the scene it was. but he was warned. So the was angry and he's like,

he did it. He saw, the was saw me and he's like, that's who did it. And the thing, it was like in slow motion, it just beeline straight at me and just ran into me

wide open like a kamikaze pilot. And it just, it didn't slow and land, you know, it didn't kind of like slow down and land and sting. It was just like, wah,

pow, right in the face. Yeah. And it's the same, yeah, and I fell over. And I mean, I skint the top of my feet. You don't, you know, you really fail when you skin up the tops of your feet. But, yeah, so I was a little apprehensive. I wouldn't know real hurry to get stung again.

But Amy grabs the thing, sprays it, all these little eggs start falling out. And Amy's like, well, we've got to bust the eggs. We've got to, you know, we've got to mashed the eggs or something. And so I'm looking around and all we got is this little, shark little tiny handheld shark vacuum cleaner box we had just gotten the vacuum cleaner out of it and uh so we're amy's out there and i'm out there smashing these eggs with this cart with this cardboard box it was just the silliest thing they're not coming back no they're not but they will totally if you don't knock the nest down even though you sprayed the crap out of it they will

rebuild the nest i don't know how they do it even with the you know with the chemicals and stuff all over it. But you have to take the nest down because they'll just fix it. It's crazy. Speaking of, I went back up there yesterday evening and there were more live wasps on it. Yeah, that would be re-building. Really didn't get the job done, to be honest. No. I'm not sure what you're. It's like a, it's an intimidating size. Yeah, it's pretty big. Yeah. So at this property, we have a bouncy house. And, I think we talked about this last week. We did.

We were talking about getting rid of the play set. All right. So the play set's gone. I got to figure out what I'm going to do with this little spot in the yard that it made. But I got some rocks and stuff that I had in the bottom of the play set so it didn't grow a bunch of weeds up in the bottom of it. So I got a little yard work to do there. But we got rid of the play set, which was nice. There was three or four guys out there cutting this thing apart.

It's hot. So I went out there and I gave them some. cash, I said, hey, this is just a little extra for being a hot day and doing this for me. And I appreciate a buddy of mine, Bruce, is a friend of ours down here. He's like, he knows somebody that can hold it off. So he called these guys. They showed up in just a couple of days. And so I was like, here's the little cash.

Bruce will send me the invoice and I'll pay for the service. But I didn't want to say, hey, I didn't want to not say, hey, and thanks. because they came out here and it's kind of been awkward if they come out here and did the job and didn't see anybody on the property or say thanks or say hello. But I was really surprised that I was able to buy this particular one as cheap as it was. This one cost, this one is three times or twice the size, height and everything, of the one that we bought four years ago. But it's exactly the same price relatively within a few bucks.

So a good price. Got the thing here. once they got rid of the place set and we had a room for it in the backyard we blew it up. My friend Tim Dugger that was a co-host on the show a couple weeks ago for Amy came out to hang out for a couple days and that was

the reason for the heavy rev we had yesterday. But we put the bouncy house up in the morning. The girls, I told the girls when I put them to bed Tuesday night, I said, hey, I was like, y'all stay up here, sleep. Don't come down, waking Tim up in the morning, before the sun comes up, because they get all excited. I was like, if y'all stay up here, sleep in the morning, do what you're supposed to do. We'll get that bouncy house, ASAP. We'll get it out and blow it up. So 9 o'clock

in the morning, I think we're out there inflating that bouncy house. And I'm going to tell you, man, me and Tim have sat on the porch watching them jump and up, slide, and go and run around It was awesome. It was like the perfect morning. One of the best mornings I've had down here in a long time. It wasn't too hot, nice breeze, sitting there having a couple cold beers and watching the kids just have the best time of their life. It was fun. They were very excited. They usually wake up. If we have a house guest, they wake up and they will go straight to that person's room and wake them up. It's just their MO. And so that was kind of what Dale was saying is like, stay up here. Do not go wake Tim up. And I'll get that bouncy house out. Well, she, they were both up by seven o'clock, six, 45, seven o'clock. But instead of going to Tim, they were just playing upstairs. And she finally heard me shuffle around in the kitchen. I was making a coffee. And she goes, mom, dad said, if I didn't wake up before the sun, which I didn't, that the bouncy house could get out. And I was like, well, go talk to your dad. He's still in the bed, but go talk to your dad. So they were really excited. And the bouncy house is giant. I, I went. down it. Dale went down it. There's two slides. One of them's big and like swirls around the edge of it. And there's another one that kind of like spills you out into the pool in the middle. And that one's much shorter, but it's much steeper. And Dale went down the big slide just fine.

He got a little stuck at the pool part and the bottom. But then he went down the little slide. And he, so when I went down it, I shot out like a little bullet, but I was straight. And so it just shot me out onto my back. Dale went down and had his feet flexed and his knee. knee's bent. Just enough. When he hit the bottom, it looked like he was going to ping pong and porpoise forward. He jolted his back. It was a hot mess. It's like a cartoon moment. Tim and I were just dying laughing on him. My back's a little sore. The technique there was a little off. It was bad. Well, it's like I, I mean, it's like I jumped off a set of stairs and just sat on my ass. It was hurt like a mug, man. But we, so the Bouncy House is a big success.

now it's heavier and it's a big damn. Like if we're getting it out, it's a... It's a commitment. It's a commitment, yeah. It's too big for me to put away on my own. So it's just like when dad's here only, what we get to be getting this thing out.

And he's got it in a wheelbarrow so he could wheel it back into the garage because it's too heavy to carry, especially when it's wet. Oh, I bet. Do you have to deflate it every time? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you ball it up.

It fits on top of a wheel barrel. barely and you can just will barrel it into the you know the the basement under the house so it's actually kind of practical perfect for you know a little break from the pool or the beach speaking of the beach we i don't i can't tell you the last time i've actually walked out there really amy takes the dogs every morning just about for a walk and sometimes the girls and her will go out there in the evening when it's cool um but for whatever reason i just have haven't been out there, hadn't seen it. You've been doing, too, by the way, that you couldn't go out to the beach.

I know, we've just been lazy, I guess. Huh. You know, you meet people down here that live on the beach, and they're like, yeah, I don't go out there much. And you're like, how does that happen? How do you not go out there much? You know, you live on the beach. How do you not? But there's, I kind of get it.

Like, you kind of almost can forget it's there, I guess, you know, because you got some of the other things going on. But anyways, it's been a... Like wasps? Yeah, it's been a good week. But back to work. Almost done with broadcasting. One more week going up to Indy today.

I got to, I'm leaving right after we're done, we get done recording this podcast, and I'm going to do a roto-rooter appearance and then on the way to Indy. But this is the last week of broadcasting. and then what's in store? What are we going to do, Amy? I know the kids get school coming up.

They're actually excited to go back to school. Ila was asking me when school started again, so she's very excited. We have one more vacation next week with family, and we're going to go to Anna Maria, Florida. So we rented this house when Dale was the year of 50, and it got taken out by the hurricane. That whole little area was heavily flooded. But the house made it, and most of the town is fine.

too, but we kind of rebooked that trip for next week. So we've never been to this part of Florida before. It should be fun. And then we'll have them back here, get the bouncy house back out. Yeah, Anna Maria looks beautiful. I've not spent a bunch of time on the Gulf Coast of Florida. It's really close to Tampa, Tim's. Oh, is it really?

Yeah. Oh, like, well, that's coast side of Florida. Yeah. And then we'll also get to see some of Amy's family or Texans. They're always a lot of fun to hang out with them. It feels like I haven't seen them in forever. Yeah, we haven't. I think since Easter.

Yeah. We have another week down here before the end of the summer. The Budweiser Cars Tour race weekend, and I think you're going to Texas with the girls. That'll be badass. And then a Bass Pro Cars Tour event as well. And then somewhere in all of that, Junior Murder Sports is going.

going to win 100 races. I'm nervous because there's some weekends I can't be there. I don't know how to feel about that. Well, I think, I feel like you should be fine in the next few weeks to be there. Well, I mean, we're... The chances are high. It'll happen in the next few weeks. Well, honey, I mean, Indies this weekend.

If we do it there, if we do it this weekend, I'm there. Right. The next weekend, we're out of town. And then it's like out of town, out of town, out of town. so we'll see. I think Watkins Glen, we got a great shot with Connor. And so we should have some firepower in the team that we can. And I can get there.

We're spending that week here at the beach, but I could shoot up there for the day to see that race. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I don't want you to miss it. No, I don't want to miss it, but it's going to, some of the stuff I ain't got a choice but to be at these other things. And I'm not sure how to handle that. Well, it's hard to be you, honey.

It's just so hard to be Dale Jr. some days. They're going to be like, where's he at? Why ain't he there? I would wonder the same thing. You know what else I wonder. Yeah. Why are you put on death shows before bed? Like, why do we have to watch something about murder or?

people stealing people or weird things that happened on cruise ships the last time you put on um i forget the name of it but there's this girl named amy ironically and she's on a cruise ship with her family and she gets abducted and they still haven't found her i think that she ended up in barbadoes they feel like they know where she's at but they still haven't found her so it took me two days to watch this series because i fell asleep the first night and then the second night um i think i fell asleep again, so I don't think I even really watch the end of it. But anyway, Dale's M.O. is to put on horrible things like that, right before he goes, and he's out. He falls asleep in my lap or on top of the key where I can't move and get to the remote. So I'm like sitting duck with this show.

And he falls right of sleep, doesn't bother him at all. For me, it, like, infiltrates my dreams if I'm watching stuff like that. All of a sudden, like, World War II bombs are happening in my dreams or, like, something weird is happening. Does that happen to you? No, I mean, I was thinking it was like fake, like scary stuff. Like not like real documentaries. But yeah. I mean, I guess the murder documentaries I think would linger at me a little bit,

but like a World War II movie. I don't know. I wouldn't care. I know it's like, he used to fall asleep to the history channel on every single night. And when I first moved in, I was like, dude,

I can't. I'm used to like pure silence and pure darkness. And he's got World War II. And so like in the middle of the night, it's always that mundane sound of whoever's voice is doing the narration is. Like the military channel, yeah. I mean, the reason why I liked it was because the guy, the narrator is always really like real flat, monotone. Monotone.

Now, the bombs and stuff get loud, but there was also like, you know, some online, you know, you could, there's online news. There's places you can go online and get, there's like a person that just like reads the happenings of the day, you know, in the news. But it's real like, remember, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never. And it's like I will turn that on and not hear a damn word they're saying. But it's just the sound of that person just kind of talking in that tone that just sends me right to sleep. That's crazy. Like I can understand falling asleep watching the golf channel. You know what I mean?

Like that's kind of a soothing, happy noise. Yeah, I suppose. But extra chatter in your mind when you're trying to go to sleep. That's the other thing too. Like if I thought I was listening to something informative, then I was. getting smarter in my sleep. I wouldn't wake up. No, I wouldn't wake up the next day and it's in there.

Like I don't remember it, but it's shoved in a file somewhere. You know what I mean? And so I might be having a conversation 10 years from now and go, oh yeah, I remember what happened there, you know, that was a heck of a battle they had that day. Oh my God. You know, eastern front and the western front. You know, I don't know. It's stuck.

It's in there because I heard. hurt it in my sleep, but I can't get up and just recite it. Yeah, I don't feel like it happens where you actually absorb it just as it's being told. It's like mashed in there with all your other thoughts and dreams and weirdness, you know what? Yeah, yeah. And this weird dream that you have. I could see how that could be unhealthy. Anyway, for Amy, didn't make it off the cruise ship.

And we're scheduled to go on a cruise next year. Never been on a cruise on my life. It really is not my thing. And our good friend Tamla does Disney bookings. And so we kind of got to talking about going on a Disney cruise and all of a sudden we're going on a Disney cruise, like we're having pretty fast in the kitchen. And so I'm a little nervous about going.

A lot of people, very people-y, nowhere to go. But, I mean, of course, Disney is going to be amazing. But the cruise ship part is very scary. It's a really people-y kind of place, Tim's. It's a people-y. Peepley. Yeah. I don't know.

It'll be fine. I've been just a little nervous about the boat part. Dale's been on cruises before, but I have not. I went on one, and it's nothing like what we're going to experience. You know, it's Disney. It's, they should have it pretty buttoned up. Yeah. The family ones are way less, like, I guess, wild than, like, the, you know, drinking ones that are, like,

watched you don't get thrown overboard. Like, this isn't going to be so. team. It's, yeah. I'm just worried about like the technicalities of the boat, I guess. Also, have you seen, there's a, there's a whole documentary about this poop situation on a cruise ship? No.

It's a, it's new, but there's this horrible situation where this boat got stranded. They had sewage issues. They ended up having to get pulled into port. I haven't watched it. Obviously, I know enough to like not watch it, but see, there's lots of things to really worry about. What's going? Was it just a poop boat?

Like what? What's going on? Poop boat. It basically turned into the poop boat. Jeez, that's a one night there. Did they just, why don't they just dump the poop? Yeah. I don't know.

I don't, there was mechanical issues. Like they didn't have their systems where we were not working. They couldn't go anywhere. Oh, they couldn't pump the poop. They couldn't do any of that. One of us needs to watch it this week. I guess I can watch it. But, yeah.

So there's like lots of stuff like that to worry about. I'm nervous. I am nervous to go on. cruise because it's your people i used to hear about uh rock fever or island fever where you go to like a small location or a small resort or something like that and you feel claustrophobic and you you got you want to leave because you feel confined or whatever um and i've heard about people having that experience when they go on to small vacations in the you know caribbean or whatever in little tiny tiny areas and it could happen on a boat too you you get

But you feel like, look, I'm feeling claustrophobic. I need to get off. And that sensation's hard to get rid of. And so, yeah. That's another thing to worry about. I don't like tight spaces. I don't like being held or, like, the whole thing's going to freak me out, I think. I'm going to have to talk into a happy place to get on this boat.

I guess there's this area on the boat. this is what I'm kind of nervous about. And T.J. and Tamila, T.J. Majors, Spot or T.J., they do the Disney stuff, all the Disney things. They do the cruise every year. They do all the Disney stuff. And they're like, oh, no, it's fine. You're going to love it. They got this thing. They got this. They got that. You're going to be great. But they keep telling us about this one specific thing where there's a space where the kids can go and only the kids can go in there. and they do games and activities,

and the parents don't go in there. Like, you can drop them off and see it, but you can't stay. And I'm apprehensive about it because they're like, yeah, you know, you just kids go in there and they're good for a couple hours. You can go roam around and have something to eat or go sit at the bar or whatever. And I'm like, I don't know. I'm worried that one of our kids or both might just not want to be left in there. But, like, the princesses that are in there to, like, read books to them

and do crafts. I know. So I need to see all this before my mind can sign off on it. You know what I'm saying? You have to take a slide to get down in there. So like it's very kid for, oh, it's like a magical place. They don't even want to come out apparently. But yeah, there are no other adults allowed in there except for the attendants that are supposed to be there.

And then the princesses come in and out. But that's about it. So I mean, it feels like it's safe. Everybody has like their own little key card. And the kid has like a label or whatever. like nobody's going in or out without the right person to get them in or out. So I don't know. It feels fine.

But I feel like Ila's going to be like, eh, I really want to go be by myself. I want to hang out with you. What are we doing? You know what I mean? Nicole probably want to stay in there with Stella and Ilo's not going to want to do that. Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest, bless your heart gear, go to shop.durdymoedia.com.

Nope TJ No. Mike Davis. Nope. Blaney? No. No.

This person's in the... Rick Allen. Nope, not Rick Allen. This person is not necessarily a NASCAR figure, but is around the community, often. Tim? Tim. Yes, Tim Dugger. Oh, damn.

What an ass. Our next one, from July 5th, 24th. 14. Good Lord, our late models won tonight. Just inject the beer straight into my bloodstream at this point. Dale? No, not Dale. Just inject the beer straight into my bloodstream.

Who else owns a late model? I'm trying to think it might. I'm assuming that it's our car, our late model team that they're talking about. 2014 was a long time ago. Carson. Nope. Oh, 2014? 2014, yeah.

And it wasn't me? Nope. Was not you? Kelly? No, wasn't Kelly? That does not sound like something that your sister would say. Mike Davis? It is Mike Davis.

He wants the beer injected into his bloodstream. I can't imagine him saying that either. He had a few tweets like that too, about back to back to back. Back when Mike used to be fun. This next one, it's from July 6, 2019. woke up ready to party, alarm on my beer drinking clock going off. Dale. That's not me.

That sounds like a deal. What? I did not tweet that. Yes, you did. I have it right here. By alarm clock drinking, beer drinking. Woke up, ready to party. Alarm on my beer drinking clock going off.

What year was that? That's you, dude. 2019. Oh, shit. What were we doing? I wonder. That was a QS quote. That was like July.

Probably QS, yeah. July. This one probably is my favorite. Earnhardt once told me, women control half the money and all the sex. Ha, ha, ha, ha. This is from 2010. This is a wild.

Wow. What is? Kenny Wallace. It is Kenny Wallace. Damn. Damn. A 27, 2010. Guest number one.

So this one's a two-parter that I got here. here. The first one is sunny day in a pool with a beer. Is this heaven? Nope. Just a Saturday night cup weekend. And then the response, whose beer? He-he. So who who is the first tweet, do you think? I hate that. He-he. Who do you think tweet to be the first one? Say it again? Sunny day in a pool with a beer. Is this heaven? Nope. Just a Saturday night cup weekend. Tag love them. I forgot that the first time. Man. This is from 2011.

Is this a response to a photo? That's just the regular tweet. Then the response was at this person, whose beer, he, he. God, I hope I didn't say that. No, he did not say that. Do you want a hint? This might give it away, though. It's a driver, spotter combination.

Is it Dale and T.J.? Not Dale and T.J. now. From 2010? In? 2011. Damn. Good Lord. Is it Bubba and Freddie?

No. They're in the pool on a Saturday night on a cup weekend, so it's not somebody that was racing. It's probably a driver. It's a driver that may be too young to drink beer. I don't know. Is this Kenny Wallace again? Of whose beer, he he. One of these is TJ.

So you're kind of half right. I'll give you that one. Is it Brad? It's Brad. It's Brad tweeted it and T.J. Really? Really? Yeah.

That doesn't feel like a Brad thing at all. I know. 2011 Brad is. And not T.J. and Hehee. I could see that. I don't think people that text hee are just straight weirdos. There's so much other options. In 2011.

That was a lot of good tweets from T.J. back then. The next one. You basically spray all kinds of bacteria, fecal matter, and viruses into the air if you don't. Hashtag gross. Me. Yes, that is you. You close that toilet lid. Close the toilet lid before you flush.

I didn't understand it. I'm like, if you don't what? If you don't close the lid. That was probably a response to Dale and going off on me asking him to close the toilet seat before you flush the toilet. Well, that's fun. Yeah. I'm surprised Amy. I don't think I put a tweet out in a solid 10 years.

You have? I know. I had to dig back for yours. I wonder when Amy's last tweet was. I don't know. It's been a while. It's been a long. time.

You were way more active before the pandemic era. Yeah, I slowed down. I slowed down. I slowed down with social media a lot. But Twitter, after Dale was racing, after he was up racing, I felt like I didn't really,

Twitter didn't serve me very well. I always kept up with everything. And even if I wasn't at the racetrack for whatever reason, I could watch the leaderboard on Twitter. Yeah. And then I kind of quit. So,

want, want. Let's do some ass gaming. Tim's going to read some questions and we've had some really fun fun ones here over the past couple of episodes. There is some really fun ones. Oh, goodness. Oh, goodness. The first one is gray. He needs some help.

He's never had a girlfriend before. He's been out with this girl three times and he wants to know how many dates is appropriate to ask her to be his girlfriend. Hmm. I would say like 10, probably. That's a long time. At least. That's too long. I think so.

That's like we're dating for almost two months and then like we're going to go steady after that, right? I mean, that's more than a date a week. There's really like not a good structured time limit for it. It just has to feel right. Going off the. I feel like if you wants to ask her, you should just ask her. You're going off of their, you know, their sort of vibe and what you're gauge, what you're getting out of, you know, from them. You feel like it's that time.

You just kind of do it. Don't ask daily. He's going to tell you how to run away. Well, I got, I kept you around somehow. I did a few things right. Yeah, I don't think there's a, like a time limit or whatever on it. I would just say ask her. Yeah. Like if you really feel like it, three?

Three times. There's two. I think that's a little. Three dates. Three dates. Yeah, three dates. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, 10's on the long run. I think I'm going to be asking this. about date 7, 8. I think guys, too, you kind of know within the first 15, 20 minutes of the date if you if you're going to date her or not. Really? That early? Yeah. Yeah. Guys for sure.

I feel like it takes girls a little bit longer. We're very... I feel like it takes a little bit longer to peel back the layers of what we're dealing with. See, that's it. We're very surface layer. We're very like, like what I see. Let's give us a run. I'm ready to commit. And then, you know, three months later, you're like, well, got down into the layers. Don't like it.

ready to get out. Abort, abort, abort. Yeah, that feels like... Hit the eject button. That's what I mean. Oh, my gosh. That's exactly what happens. Next one is Tanner. Kind of similar, except he's had a girlfriend for six months,

and he needs your guys' help because she took his favorite hoodie, apparently, over the weekend at a sleepover, and she won't give it back because she now likes it. But he wears it all the time. How is he getting that thing back? Got to be pretty sweet. So this happened with Dale and I years ago.

I think he just has to wait it out. Dale had a t-shirt that had a hot dog and a mustard on it. Or is it ketchup of mustard? It was ketchup and mustard. And they were high-fiving each other. And it was one of his favorite t-shirts, but he let me sleep. It was a hot dog and mustard. A hot dog and mustard.

And so I wanted to keep it. And he was like, okay, I'm going to let you have this for a little while. But I want that back. And so eventually I did just give it back to him when I stopped wearing it to go to sleep. But yeah, we had the same situation happen. I would say just tell her you want it back or like let her cuddle with it until she's annoyed with you. And then maybe ask for it back. Maybe she'll throw it at you.

Who knows? Yeah, I think that's hers. I think that's hers until she's giving me back. That's a tough ass. That's a fight waiting to happen. I don't know if a sweatshirt's worth it. Exactly. The session is from Katie.

She wants a Mr. Mom garage door update from Fanday, that story where you backed into the garage door. Mr. Mom did not escape. He's fine. The garage door, I think Dale was able to mess with it and fix it. Like the,

it is a, there are wooden doors, wooden panel doors, and there are, you know, the ribs inside of it are metal. And so I've bent the metal. And it pushed the,

push the wood just a little. But I think Dale was able to fix it. Yeah, all that stuff's back to normal. The only problem is, is my vacuum out in the garage. It, and this has been the case since I've put it out there, apparently those things cannot vacuum in the dark.

So I have it set to run at two in the morning or something like that, right? So it can just do its job and then in the morning, you know, it ain't running while we're out there trying to back cars in and out and running over to the top of it. So I have it running in the middle of the night and it's dark in there, and it'll say every day. So that's Mr. Mr. Mom could not complete the whole work area.

And it's because it's dark. It doesn't go. He kind of can't do some areas. I guess. I don't understand that. I mean. We need to get Mr. Mom a nightlight. Yeah.

You get a spotlight on. Yeah, you get a spotlight on. Yeah, there you go. Give him his own headlamp. If I try to run that thing during the day, I know Amy's going to drive over top of it. Next time I'm just going to plow right over it just because again. It's like an original. It always happens like that though, too.

Yeah, it's an old one. It's like an original Rumba that like that's never going to die. It doesn't have, yeah, but it doesn't do everything great. You know, the first Rumbas were kind of okay, you know, always kind of screwing up here and there. Now the new Rumbas or the later ones are much more sophisticated and smarter. And, but this one's a, you know, pretty pretty. It's pretty incompetent. But it's the OG.

But I'm tight detail, so I ain't going to throw it out until it stops just completely working. Yeah. Well, I get that. It's going to clean something. This next question is from Lisa. She wants to know, Amy, how did Dale react to the news when you first told them you were pregnant for the first time? We got that on film. We do have that on film.

I can share that with you. He was blown away. I had taken the test for myself, and I just kind of knew. I just felt weird. I didn't really know what it was. We were trying, but we were amateurly trying. We didn't really... What the fuck does that mean?

It means, like, I wasn't tracking anything. You're just trying. You don't know where people's heads are going right now. We were trying, but we were amateurs. Well, I mean, when you try to get pregnant with a second kid, you know exactly what to do. you know what I'm saying? You know exactly where it goes. We had tried for years to not get friends.

Right? He figured it out by now. That's where it goes. Oh, my God. So anyway, I took the test by myself and it was positive and I took my breath away. But, like, it was very excited because we were in that point of our lives we were wanting to have babies. And then I got a onesie and I took another test just to make sure, sure. And I put them in a little back for him.

And so he had this, like, a little gift. open and it took him a minute to figure it out. Like he just sat there and looked at it. Like in disbelief, basically. And then he cried. And then so like the end of the video is like him crying into the onesie. It's really cute. Yeah, pretty incredible.

Do you even remember that? Oh, it's like the, it's incredible. It's a credible feeling. It's like the, it's almost like, it's a real emotional thing. And I don't, I don't know if this might sound wrong, but you ever remember. if you have somebody that you love that's going through an illness and somehow it's a very serious situation, but somehow they come out the other side good and you finally get that news that they're going to be fine, it's really like an emotional pop like that.

Like, holy cow, you can't really comprehend what being a parent's like at that moment or what your future, you know, what it's going to be like to have a child in your home and in your life. But just the news in the instant of that moment is that same. sort of emotional pop or height that you get from hearing some really, really great news about somebody you love. When we found out we were pregnant with Nicole, we had Ila wear a t-shirt that said, Big Sister. And Dale was in such shock.

He's like, how do you already know it's a girl? I'm like, no, no, no. He's the sister. She's a sister no matter what. I know. I don't know why. When I saw the island, I was like, it's a girl? Like, how do you know already?

Wow. I mean, it's before time to be able to tell that it's what sex it is. And man, my mind was just in a pretzel. This next one's from Jeff. He wants to know, do you guys remember the first kind of embarrassing thing you did in y'all's relationship where you're like, well, he or she's never coming back now. That was, that's a little too much. Well, the first thing you share. It's a little tough question.

I mean, I remember what Dale did. Oh. But he didn't feel embarrassed about it whatsoever. I was having a sleepover. And I got up to brush my teeth to go to work because we're still building the house. And I was going to run up to the job site. And he comes in and sits down behind me to go to the bathroom. And so by sitting, I think you know what he's doing.

Yeah. And so I'm like, I turn around my toothbrush, mid-brush. I'm like, uh-uh. He goes, uh-huh. I think we've talked about that before on his show. I don't know. What embarrassing things did I do? You're trying to block those out.

You're like, okay, hopefully that's, like you ignore it. Hopefully this didn't really happen. No, I don't think I've, I don't think there's ever been anything that Amy has ever done, even close to. If I did, it didn't happen in front of him. I think in this. Here's the thing.

I'm also, I don't take myself super seriously. And if I do something stupid, I'm probably going to tell him about it first, or make a joke about it myself too. I feel like you have to take ownership of those things or otherwise it kind of eats, you know, it eats at you. Yeah. Right?

Like you've got to just be proud of it almost. Not this isn't that serious, but Amy burped in front of me for the first time, I believe, in ever the other day. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. I did too. Okay.

I can make, I can also make myself burp, which I won't, do, but my sister and I used to take turns doing A, B, C, we could birth the ABCs, and we used to do it to make my dad laugh. And that was like always the M.O. We'd sit down for dinner and whatever we could do to make our serious dad, like laugh at the end of the day was our goal. And so we would make ourselves burp.

And he thought it was hilarious. He loves burfs. That's funny. Who doesn't? I don't know. That's true. We was sitting out by the pool like three or four days ago, and Amy just goes, burr. I was like, I was like, damn, I've never heard that.

Oh, come on. Surely you've heard that before. You have never burped in front of me. Hmm. Well, we're both letting it go then. Whoops. Because I told, remember, because I'm like, hey, I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to not burp her in front of her.

And I keep on doing it. I'm just terrible. I've been burping all week. We'll be here. You know, just sitting right next to her, just like, and not. Is there something that happens when you get a little older, like that you physically can't? hold it back like you just can you can you can you just i've gotten in this habit of like

feeling like i don't have to have any uh manners cooth yeah yeah manners yeah do you guys uh get embarrassed at all do you feel embarrassment really yeah at all yeah yeah sure yeah i can't see i can't really i feel like it's just like i whatever that happened really yeah you think that you can you don't feel like he and i see it with you guys i'm like This must be so, it must be the worst thing ever to make you guys feel embarrassed. Yeah, it would have to be something pretty big. Yeah. Like it wouldn't be easy.

Yeah. No. Like burping in public, you'd be like, no, whatever. Yeah, yeah. I get embarrassed. Like, I get a little bit embarrassed by, um, so Tim, Tim, Tim come out here. Me and Tim Dugger hadn't seen each other in a long time.

And he's like, hey, I'll come hang out for a day at the beach. beach while y'all are there so he kind of he flies in and we're all excited man it's going to be great we're going to make the most of this woohoo going to be fun and we get up yesterday and again you know we put the bouncy house out we had a dang awesome morning and uh but you know probably should have hydrated dry probably should have drank a little bit more water about middle of the afternoon i was like tim i'm i'm tired i'm like i'm ready to shut down I want to go lay down, you know, and so. Tim's like, you better get your shit down.

Tim's like, Tim's like, what? I'm like, yeah, I don't know what's going on. I just don't feel great. I don't feel great. I'm not drunk. I just don't. I feel like I want to sleep. And so I laid on the couch and went to sleep.

So that's a little embarrassing because he came all the way out here. We didn't really get to stand on the throttle, but it's probably for the better because. I've got an appearance today and I don't need to be too hungover. I need to be pretty sharp. But... He always feels a little embarrassed

when he can't pirate like he used to. I wanted to pirate. I couldn't pirate yesterday. I feel that. That makes sense. I get that. All right. My last question for you guys, it is Shark Week, apparently.

Okay. One, do you guys celebrate? And two, would you ever dive with sharks? We don't celebrate shark week, but I would love to get in a cage and have sharks around me. We've been to like the Bahamas, we've been to the islands and been around sharks. Like we're all fascinated by sharks. Even I love loves watching the shark videos on Discovery. Like we're all into it.

But I don't think that, I know Dale doesn't want to get in the water with them, especially like a great white. But I would love to do that. No interest. I'm very, I'll say this, this is something fun to share. So I don't like being in the water with something underneath me. And I don't care what it is. You can be a fish. It could be a sunken, sunken boat, it can be a plane.

I don't care. But I don't, something about that is extremely, extremely unsettling and creepy, scary, creepy. And so I'm fascinated by shipwrecks and planes and things that are in, you know, off the, you know, off in the water in a reef somewhere or whatever. And what's the story and how'd that get there? And there was, we were, we went with, uh, Leart and Jeff Burton and Rick Allen and all them, I think on that trip on the, when we rented a boat. There was a, there was kind of like a B-50, a B-52. who are like a large size plane from the 70s that had crashed in this, in this lagoon. It had taken off from the runway and either failed to get it up in the air or landed short or whatever, right?

But it's in this, it's in like 20 foot of water. And I had to summon all the courage I had to get in the water and swim around it. and there's something about like if you're in the water and you've got your head out of the water, but there's a big body of something underneath you, even if you can't know you, you're not within reach of it. It's just scary. I don't know what. You just viral? I'm panicked that it's there and that I don't know what, you know, I don't know how to explain it.

I remember you telling me that we were snorkeling around that boat. Because it still had the propeller and everything on the front of it. So we'd be careful. You can get kind of like washed into it because there were, there was quite a bit of wake and waves. And Dale's like, I don't know why, but I feel like that thing's going to just like come alive. Yeah.

What if it moves or what if I get in and like I hit it and I've got barnacles scratched up, you know. Well, we were. I snorkeled a much deeper shipwreck years ago. It's probably 30 foot of water. And we just snorkeled across the top of the surface of the water looking down. There were some sharks at the bottom. Not the kind that are really going to bother you as small sharks, but something like that.

Yeah, they were down there swimming around. And this is an old wooden boat, probably about 180 foot long. And we were snorkeling over that. And even that, to me, I need to have my eyes on it at all times. When I can see it, I'm okay. but as soon as I pick my head up and I'm like, there's a sheer panic that comes over me because I don't,

because I just need to, it's this thing down there underneath me. And it's like I can't see it. It's like I can't explain it. I wish somebody knew what the word was or how to explain this phobia or whatever it might be. There's probably somebody else that shares that with you. Yeah.

But I am worried about the water. Like there's something I can't see that's about to come get real close. to me. And that would make me freak out. And you're not supposed to flail around when you freak out when there's sharks and whatever around you in the water. You're supposed to stay calm. Where we're here at in South Carolina, Thames, we have fished less than a mile away from the right here at the beach. Less than a mile from our shore and caught sharks. Really? Yeah. Oh, a lot of sharks. How big was that one shark I called right there? The lemon shark was huge. It was really big. It was like 10 foot long.

Wow. And there's like little, Sharks, hammerheads. There's hammerheads everywhere around here. I mean, they don't really make. That close to the shore, really? It's crazy. Yeah. And so we'd get out there and the kids, I'll get out there and I just go to my,

maybe to my, the bottom of my pant, right? I mean, I'm just a little over my knees deep into the water just to get a little refresh and cool off. I'm not swimming in there further than that. But our little girls will go, they'll go out there in front of you just a few feet. but they're up to their chest, probably three foot of water. And I'm like, that's far enough. And they're looking at me like, what in the hell is wrong with you?

Why are you scared to go, this, you know, this ain't nothing. And I'm like, nope, that's it. Too far. Come back. There are sharks, and even in the tide pool, there's a bunch of kite surfers. And so there's one kite surfing video from right out here on Sullivan's, this guy has a head camera on and he falls off of his surfboard or his kite surfing board and he looks straight down at the bottom of this very shallow pool and there's a giant shark

like it's maybe 10 feet of water it's not that deep anymore but at one time it was a giant shark just hanging out yeah how does it get there that's how well so the tide comes in and out and so like back in the day like it used to come in and create this big pool and then would go out it like just shallow out and there's the sharks and everything would leave but you never really knew what was down there we used to see dolphin dolphins come through yeah it's pretty it's pretty scary yeah it's pretty sketchy that is sketchy that download the shark tracker app see where they're all going yeah that is fun to watch yeah it is for sure but it's scary to know where exactly how they are where they're at yeah i need to get that at shark tracker

sure talk. Someone said it's like... Really you don't need to know, Dale. It's like Santa Claus tracker but for adults. Yes. That's what somebody compares to. That's all we got for

I heard a rumor. You did? Amy bought like 250 shirts. I didn't. I bought four. Okay. I bought four. Amy, you sure?

Yeah. Okay. I do know the margin of victory was like 20-something. So it was a big. 20 shirts. Yeah, it was a good, it was a good size lead, I think. Oh, you feel like that's a good lead?

I felt like that was pretty tight. Which shirt was the worst? Andrews, I'm getting lucky tonight. Yeah, that was pretty stupid. His quote was, I peaked too early promoting it. I think that was just... That's what he should have put on the shirt. I peaked too early.
