The Dale Jr. Download - Dale and Amy Got Advice to Give Up Beer

Episode Date: April 16, 2026

Dale and Amy are back for another episode of Bless Your ’Hardt, and things get chaotic fast. It starts with their oldest daughter dropping a very “Dale-coded” phrase on a grown man over FaceTime, and Dale’s explanation only makes it funnier. Amy opens up about brain spotting therapy and a buried childhood memory involving a seventh-grade teacher, a Hakeem Olajuwon jersey, and a moment of public embarrassment that stuck with her longer than she realized. Dale answers with one of his own from his teen years, getting called out by Tony Eury Sr. for not offering pizza to a crew, and how it shaped him. They also get real about couples therapy and the one piece of advice that completely changed how they handle arguments. Of course, it would not be an episode without the chaos: Dale giving a 2,500-person speech with a cardboard collar still in his shirt, the girls walking around with one earring each, and Travis going down a Google rabbit hole after Dale makes up a wild alligator “fact.” Plus, Ask Amy returns with questions about festivals, cats, and social etiquette disasters.

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Oh, yeah, this is the 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 Craft? I'm working. Working that mouth.

Hi, everybody. Dale Jr. and I are in the Dirty Moe Media Studio for another round of Bless Your Heart. I'm excited. Are you? Yeah, I haven't seen you in a while. I feel like you've been... Since this morning? Did I see you this morning?

You got up and left pretty early. No. Anyway, we got a good show for you guys today. I've got something I want to talk to you about. Guess what your daughter said. Oh, no. Another one of those. Guess what your daughter said.

When was this? It was over the weekend when you were in Nashville. Whoa. And you're just now telling me? Yeah, because, you know, I forget things because I'm over-stimulated and overwhelmed. That was really smart. I didn't save it for the show. I actually just remembered.

about this story this morning. You're like, this is good show material. It is good show material. So guess what your daughter said? I can't imagine. I mean, cuss word? It wasn't a cuss word. It was just something really crude.

And not a cuss word. No, it wasn't a cuss word. Guess which daughter it was? Maybe we'll start there. Probably Nicole. No, it wasn't. It was the sweet little angel Ila. What'd she say like, this sucks, or?

No. She was on. her FaceTime with Stella majors. And they're playing a video game or they're drawing or something. They like to FaceTime and just share each other's screen so they can just chit-chat. And it's like they're playing, but they're not really playing. And I'm cleaning up the kitchen, moving around her, but not really paying attention to her. And Nicole's sitting right there, too, just drawing.

And so all of a sudden I hear, I hear TJ, what? Y'all are on the island? They're at the dining table. Yeah, like in the middle of them. All together. All together. And I'm kind of moving around the kitchen and going back and forth doing laundry, blah, blah, blah. And I hear Ila say, I'm going to kick you in the nuts.

Guess who she said that to? TJ? TJ. Oh, my gosh. She said that to fucking TJ. I'm kind of okay with that. I mean, it's the only person. Like, he let it slip.

He, like, chuckled and walked away. I can see him, like, full face in the iPad. But I like broke my stride and turned around. I was like, excuse me, Ila? What did you just say? I was like, hang up, hang up the phone. Because TJ had gone already. And I was like, I cannot believe she said that.

I stopped her. I was like, where did you hear that? And she goes, I don't know. I was like, yeah, you do. You know where you heard that. Where did you hear that? And she was like, I don't remember. And I was like, at that point, the iPad has been taken away.

She's not on it at all. And she goes to the couch. I'm cleaning up. They have been eating lunch too. So I'm, like, cleaning up the lunch, and I'm still in the kitchen. And I look at her, and I was like, you know, we're not doing anything else until you tell me where you heard that. And she said, I heard it from daddy. I'm like, really?

Because, I mean, it's not really a term. I've heard you say too much, if ever. Does she describe where this happened? Yes. Of course, I ask her more questions. I was like, your dad said that. I was like, when did you hear your dad say that? And he said, she said, he's walking around the house on his phone, and he said it.

I'm like, I don't know. I said it to somebody on the song? In what context he's saying something about getting kicked in the nuts. But your daughter's always listening. Just FYI. And I ask her like, do you even know what that is? And she goes, no. And I was like, are you sure?

She goes, yeah. Tell me you dealt or what it was. No, I didn't. I thought better. I almost did. I was like, please don't. Don't ever say that again.

But especially to a grown man, let's just not. Let's just not say that anymore. Oh, my gosh. I was like, that's enough of that. Well, I have an admission. So probably about three weeks ago, it was me and her. I don't know if Nicole was around, but I don't think you were there. And I was in the living room and horsing around.

Like physically horsing around? Yeah, like she was chasing me or something. I don't know. Maybe I was on the phone or she was chasing me. And she said, I'm going to kick you in the nuts. And I said, what did you say? Nicole did? I love it.

And I said, oh. And I said, what did you say? And she said, nothing. Or I'm going to kick you in and change you. it, you know. Is that when I was upstairs? Maybe. Whenever it was. Because nobody ever told me what she said. Yeah, that was it. Yes, that was that day.

And so I'm like, girl, you can't say that. That is not all right. And so, I mean, I thought we... No, we didn't get through to her. Dang it. And then she straight up told T.J. She said it to T.J. Like, she had said it a thousand times. He was, he came up behind Stella and he was, like, harassing T. Who knows? Who knows what she tells him little boys on the playground? Oh, my God, I know. I know. That's the problem.

That's not the problem. Maybe now we need to tell her what nuts are. so she'll quit saying it. No. How do you stop that? Coles, you don't. You don't? Kids are going to say what they want to say. They're going to do all kinds of things.

I have an idea of how you stop it. Okay, great. You can't stop it. Dale doesn't say it in the first place. Yeah, that's a good way to stop it. Yeah, the cat's out of the bag. I feel like we owe TJ an apology, but. I couldn't believe Dale couldn't guess what.

We don't know what she said. He's put us through. Yeah, if there's anybody else, I'll apologize. He's not teaching our kids slang words. We don't know. Nostela knows that term. Yeah. Yeah, I was blown away, but, you know, say Levy.

Or say whatever you want, I guess. Dale's blushing. He's got some spleen into it. I'm not sure how I feel about it, honestly. I'm sure this is not a popular opinion, but I'm all right with it. Because, like, I, listen, I don't want her to be vulgar and rude, but I do want her to stick up for herself or threaten some boy that he better back it off or he's going to get kicked into nuts.

I kind of think that's cool. Okay, to that point alone, I agree. I don't worry about Nicole doing that, but she'll... Her just flying off with it to, like, TJ or any other adult. Not so cute. I know. I was wondering, though, that who's going to take care of her when I'm not there?

So, like, not there on the earth. I'm just saying, like, in those moments, like, who's going to take care of her when I'm not able to take care of her? You're worried about her not being tough enough to stand up for herself? Yeah, Nicole, straight beat to anybody. No worries. Yeah, she's scrappy. She is scrappy.

And she will, just her presence alone, like her demeanor seems like, I mean, she's five, but it seems like she's going to have this sort of control, right? Yeah, she's got some gusto. Yeah, you're going to see. You're going to read it off of her. And Ila, though, is really vulnerable,

but also... Kind of quirky and... Also... Sensitive. She's a bit of a... She's easy to follow, easy to join. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right? And so she might go do things or get asked to do things or joining her friends in on things that she doesn't need to be doing or thinking about it. Oh, that's going to happen for sure. I know, but I'm like, you know,

it's good to hear her say something like that to T.J. Even if it's wrong that she has the guts. Okay. So I guess this is going to go nowhere. Plus it was TJ and he more than likely deserved it. Yeah. There's a 75% chance that TJ brought this on himself. Fair game.

Yeah. Because it was TJ. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's get to the drink of the week. All right. The drink of the week, we got two different ones. We have two different drinks.

It was a really good reason. Right here with me, I have the deal. Yeah. This is what you can find at Texas Roadhouse nationwide. It is on the menu. If you, the menu card will be on your table, and you can order one of these and try it out. I am a big fan of Cream Sickle ice cream. I think it's the greatest flavor, one of the top flavors ever made.

And we designed this drink with Texas Roadhouse. With that in mind, two ounces of high rock vodka, three ounces of margarita sour mix, two ounces of orange juice, two pumps of candied orange syrup, and then two pumps of vanilla syrup. pour your ingredients into a shaker, add ice, and shake, pour into a glass and serve. You can get these orange syrups and the vanilla syrups. You can get all of this stuff to be able to make this drink yourself. A total wine. Yeah, a total wine.

And it's great. I would encourage you to go to Texas Roadhouse and try it as well, because, you know, they're going to make it exactly the way it's meant to be made and enjoyed, but I'm going to give it a sip. It's good every time. So we also have the Long Island iced tea, and the reason is because Texas Roadhouse is debuting high rock vodka in these two cocktails today nationwide and so you also have um the long iced tea if you are not into the cream sickle drink you can try that and it's one half ounce of high rock

vodka a half ounce of gin a half ounce of rum four ounces of sweet and sour and a splash of cola so you just mix that up in your glass you don't shake it because of soda and um so nationwide you can get those both today i got to tell you this roadhouse hey awesome so both of them yeah Okay. That's the little beat that you're going to hear. Someone talking on a speaker. We're having ice cream today at Juniper Motors Sports. Yeah, I missed out on it because of the show.

Travis is pouting because he's not getting ice cream. Well, he didn't get sure of the masters, and now he didn't get ice cream. It's just a shit week in it. Something I got to tell y'all. I went to Nashville Fairgrounds for a long weekend, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Come on Sunday morning.

I cannot tell y'all how many people came up to me and told me about this podcast and how much they love it. I hear, I mean, it is, it is literally, it's probably 10 to 1 that reference this show versus the regular Dale Jr. download. I might hear, man, I loved your interview with Johnny Benson, but then I'll hear 10. I love your show with your wife. and I'm talking about 45, 55-year-old racing mechanics with grease under their nails

talking about how they love the clips on Instagram and... That's because we're a couple of goofballs. People can relate to that. I know why. I think the show is awesome and I know why it's well received,

but it's just awesome to actually be out in the world and have people come up to you and just eagerly tell you how much they enjoy it. Yeah, it is really awesome. Yeah. And they compliment the hell out of Amy.

All right. I don't deal well with this kind of stuff. Don't worry about it. Just shut down for a second. They compliment the hell out of Amy because, and it makes me feel awesome. And they are like, they're like, because they see what I see. They're like, man, you really nailed it there. You got a good one there.

She's awesome. She's amazing. I love how she gives you a little hard time and all that. She does it just perfectly. You all have a lot of love. Everybody feels that through the show. And it's great because, you know, you can, you can, you, you marry somebody you know you made a choice you're with this person that you love forever and

you've made this choice um but you know not a lot of other people really get to see what you see you know and and now your family you get around your family your friends they get to know that person they get to see what you see but man it is so fun doing the show and having so many people receive it so well and mainly because of amy right they enjoy you seeing, they see me enough on the Dale's internet alley. Yeah, but Amy, you bring out the different side of deal that people don't see. Yeah, I know. I mean, that's the fun part. Like, it's just who he really is. I got a massive dose. The way that he chit-chats with people otherwise is very different

than the way he interacts with me, of course. I got a huge dose of this this weekend, and I just had to come back to tell you all about it. Okay. Yeah, but it was good. But let's get right to the topics. Please visit high rock vodka.com to find a bottle near you. We have a store locator on there so you can find any of the high rock vodka and sugar, products that are in the stores near you, and then also just remember, you must be 21 years or over, and please drink responsibly. All right. What else do you want to talk about? Well, FaceTime language? That was it. The TJ story. The FaceTime. The FaceTime language. Brain spotting? Yes. Okay. Can I talk about this? Hakeem, Elijah Wan. Okay.

What the hell? So, listen, I'm acting like this because I have not looked. Dale has been very busy. He's not really put any notes in for this show. I have not in. And so it's just my weirdness. Amy's weirdness. I don't know what all these things. He has no idea about the monkey then.

There's monkey hug, brain spotting, pirate sisters, rocket landing. We can hit pirate sisters right quick if you want to hit that. All right. I took Nicole, I picked her up on Monday. We have swim lesson in about an hour. So we have time to stop and get a snack. And I take her to the smoothie place. We get a smoothie.

We're sitting outside, enjoying it. She's like doing this with her hair. Just like soaking up the sun. and I notice that she's missing an earring. Who? Nicole. What? Yeah.

And I looked at her. I was like, where's your earring? What happened? And she's like, oh, it came out. I'm like, what do you mean? It came out. When did this happen? These are the earrings you get pierced with.

So like the back Monday. This week. I haven't noticed. Because her hair's, well, it's probably not something you're going to notice to be fair because it's jewelry, but. Oh, I notice. I'll notice if it's on. I think that's, I think there's.

something to that, though. Let's go back to that. I look over, she doesn't have her earring in. She says, oh, it came out. I'm like, those don't just come out. That's really hard to take off. What happened to your earring? And then she goes on to this whole story about how she slid on the playground. She slid really hard, and then it just came out. Meanwhile, she's got no scratches, no scrapes. Her clothes aren't disheveled or dirty. I know she didn't fall down on the playground. She's making the shit up, but I let her go just to see how creative she can get. And then we get quiet. I'm still just sitting there eating my smoothie. And eventually she says, okay, mom, I pulled it out.

I was like, yeah, I figured you pulled it out. Why? And she goes, I don't know. I'm like, well, where's the earring? It's still on the playground. It did come out on the playground. And I said today. And she goes, yeah, today.

Colie, why did you do that? Why did you take it out? And just leave it there. We can't put it back in now. Well, I wanted to be like Ila. And she pulled out the same freaking one that Ila has missing too. so now, and she wouldn't let me take the other one out. I was like, this is not how we're going to play this.

This is your fault. This is my fault? Yes, because you've let Ila walk around for over a year with one earring. I dare you. I triple dog dare you. You're her mother. You're supposed to know. To nail her down to the floor and try to take that thing out.

You're supposed to know how to do that. I know how to deal with rational people. I know how to deal with a little bit of crazy, but she, you know how she gets. Look, what did, when we had to get to. the Amelia out of Nicole's toe. What did we do? I've held her down. Yes. Stabbed her foot. I got it out. Yeah, but she's little. Nicole. Nicole's little. I was only two years older than her. She's just bigger. She's walked around a year and one with one earring Amy. I know. Everyone in the world. Now we've got two pirates. Everyone out there is going, what's the deal? You might as well let them take it to October for Halloween. Let them dress up as pirates. It's been to two Halloween.

It needs to come out. Well, now we've got two. And the other. And the other. one, the other one's just a little butterfly and it's like the colors rubbed off of it. So it's like almost skin tone. You can't really even see it, which is why you probably didn't notice that it was gone to begin with. But now we have two kids with the same problem. But Nicole's earring hole is probably fine because she's had her earrings in for so long. But she's not going to let me put it back in, she said. So I don't know what to do. I'm out of loss. But she loves her sister so much that she was willing to put herself through that. She was like, well, she doesn't care. Like she's tough. She's probably not like thinking this might hurt. She's just like, I'm doing it.

Man, if I were her and I'm, because it had to have hurt a little bit. I would just rip them both out. I don't, look, I don't, I don't pretend to know what the deal is with Coley, but she is tough. Yeah, well, we now have two pirates. Yeah, so I've been doing brain spotting. I started doing therapy with this new person and we all like have little issues or things that have like made marks on us in life. And I've had therapy before, and I feel like I've got a pretty good idea of how to deal with things. But sometimes I still find myself emotionally distraught in a way that shouldn't be tied to the things happening in my life now. And so I was looking into and asking friends that have done this before about brain spotting and I was going to say EDM, EMDR, which is another type of trauma therapy. And yeah, so I've started brain spotting.

I've done three sessions. And the first two, the first one especially was really dynamic because I had something that was really emotional to talk about. And so it was real easy to like get into that and then and do the therapy. So basically what you do is like it's focused on reaching, reaching through your eyes and your visual gaze through your eyes to a spot in your way back, where you've stored trauma. So like typically your eyes have this like visual pattern

where every little memory has a path, right? And so they'll take a ball or something and then you'll follow it. And like the person that's doing the therapy can see your eyes moving and see if they look for different things. I don't know exactly what that is. And know when they need to stop. And then they, whether you're speaking about this memory

that you're wanting to talk about or something else comes up, can help, but you don't have to say anything, so you can kind of be going through the thing and then all of a sudden your eyes start moving so she stops it, and whatever you're thinking about will kind of become more intense. And you might have, might have like tightness of breath or your body might tense up, your hands might start to sweat, and you kind of just have to go with that and you can talk about it to get through it faster, or you can just process it on your own. So anyway, it's been really interesting to kind of see what's come up for me, especially yesterday I went in feeling like I didn't have a whole lot to really talk about, but sometimes that happens.

And then she's going through the process. And then all of a sudden, I remember, I get like this weird feeling in my stomach. And so she stops the ball. And the memory for me that came up was getting made fun of by a schoolteacher in the seventh grade. I'm walking down the hallway. Got my backpack on. I'm going from one classroom to the next. So wait with me.

So you're, you probably couldn't have pulled that memory out of your hat, out of your ass. But this brain spotting brought it to the surface. It helps to bring it to the surface. Ironically, yes. So, like, it's something I remember, but I didn't think it was something that was bothering me. Yeah. And so, yeah, I'm walking on the hallway. I've got my backpack on.

I'm wearing an Akeem Olajuwon jersey. Now, I'm not a sports fan. I'm not super sporty in general. I grew up going to dance lessons, blah, blah, blah. But at that age, all of us girls shared clothes. So, like, one of my girlfriends had this jersey, and everybody's wearing jerseys at school. And so, like, she let me borrow it. And I didn't even know what I was wearing.

And who cares, right? It's just for fashion and for fun and to fit in. And I remember this teacher making fun of me, she calls out, she goes, hey, Amy, who's a chemology on? And I turned around and look at her. I was like, huh? And she goes, exactly. And I remember thinking, like, how embarrassing. Because she called me out in the hallway in front of all of these other students.

students. And apparently that like traumatized man, never barred clothes after that. I really remember that happening and feeling so stupid. And being made to feel stupid by an adult in that format was like pretty shi-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hye. But the Akeem-el-Lajewan jersey thing for me is like funny now. Like, of course I didn't have any business wearing that. I didn't even know who it was. But I wanted to ask you, like, have you had memories like that where, like, you were frightened or embarrassed where you did something stupid like that and called out by an adult? Is that normal? By an adult.

Yeah, like, I mean, she was a grownup and I was at 12, 13 years old. Sometimes, like, you start clowning the kids. I'm like, okay, Dale, clown on the kids because they don't know how to handle it. You know what I mean? And maybe that's why I feel that way. I can't think of one, but maybe it's because I've suppressed it too. Yeah, I don't know. Well, guys don't bar clothes or do anything like that either.

So it would have had to have been something you were, like, involved in, like a sport, maybe. like a coach. Like surely one of the Uri's made you... Oh, I mean, I didn't yell at by your dad in front of his buddies. Oh, that sucked. Because you're, you know, trying your ass off to, like, fit in or be accepted or, you know, just be included, right? He would, at 5 o'clock in the evening, all the guys that worked there, put their tools down, and they all gathered around this picnic table.

and other guys that were friends came from their jobs and drove in. And everybody sat around and drank beer. They might some folks kind of continue to tinker on cars or bring in other race cars that were weekend racers like Tony Jr., me, my streetstock, things like that. And you just wanted to be accepted into that group when that happened because they were hanging out being friends. And you would just stand around and listen to them and laugh and listen to the stories. and they talk about all types of things, right?

Very mature and things that you weren't ever going to hear, right? And you felt like getting kicked in the nuts? Huh? I mean, they just talked about being men, you know, and what they thought. And so if you've slipped up or got your, you know, did something dumb, one particular time, there's two things. And I hate to say this. I love Tony Senior. Love that man. Do anything in the world for Tony Senior and Tony Jr. both.

But we had some tough moments. I, it's hard to tell a story and kind of hope I'm putting you in the moment. But one, so I wasn't very thoughtful. I'm hanging out with. with them. It's after five. Typically they would get, you know, a buddy, a buddy would bring a bowl of chicken wings over that he made or they would order pizza or whatever and somebody would run and grab it, but didn't have delivery back then. I got, I ordered a pie in the sky pizza and went

and brought it and brought it back and I'm working on my street stock cart and I'm eating my pizza. So how old are you? 17, 18, 17 probably. Tony's, and everybody's hanging out and Tony's senior came out there and just chewed my ass for buying a pizza and bringing it over there and not buying enough for everybody or not asking anyone if they wanted any pizza or wanted me. I could have even asked if they wanted to order a pizza and I could pick it up with mine. You know, he was, he's like you, you know, he was basically like saying like, you're so selfish and think about only yourself. Everybody's here hanging out.

We'd all love some pizza. And you just thought about yourself and when it got your own pizza. So like you're not like us. You're over here. Well, you were a minor. I know. Look, I'm not right or wrong.

It just, he chewed my ass in front of everybody. That's kind of the same thing. Like you were embarrassed publicly. It chewed my ass. For something that you didn't feel like was wrong to begin with. Yeah, it sucks. Well, I mean, ever since I felt like I've f***ed up.

I should have absolutely thought enough of Tony Sr., Tony Jr., all the other guys there to go, hey, I'm going to the pizza. Y'all want to order one? I don't have 20 bucks in my pocket. I can barely afford mine, but, you know, I will, I'm going. If y'all want to order one, I'll pick it up. I didn't think about shit like that. I was so selfish.

And I was. I was selfish. I was about me, me, me, me. And you know that. When you met me, I was really all about me. And so. Yeah, but I didn't meet you when you were 17. I met you when you were like 30, what, 33?

I got really good at it by that point. You had skills honed in. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, you know, that was another example. But that's, you know. Yeah, that's good. You understand how I feel.

But it's neat, like going through those therapies. Like, you still remember the things, but it doesn't affect you anymore. Like those, it doesn't drive either how you react to things that might trigger that same emotion. which is the coolest part. Yeah. So do you feel better when you leave? I do. So the very first time I left, I had talked about our plane situation.

And we had a great session. And then I left. And I was really just overwhelmed. And I cried and I laughed. And I cried and I laughed in the car. And then I was just kind of emotionally drained. Like I was laughing at myself in this, like, bizarre way. Like, let's cry a little bit.

And then I would start to like laugh at myself. You know what she said? When she got home, she said, now I know how you feel like when you're you've podcasted with Travis for five hours. I'm really tired. She's emotionally drained. She's never said that. I may have said something like that, but I didn't, I didn't include Travis.

I did not include you. Sometimes he comes home after he's like been working his mind for however many hours and like doing reads. And he's like Johnny Five powered down. And he just lays out on the couch and falls asleep for like two hours. So I get it. Like I was just completely physically and emotionally. emotionally drained. But after the second two sessions, I felt almost energized. It was really cool. So it's neat. I feel like everybody should explore it to some degree because everyone has

like some little trauma that's back in there. I don't, I mean, not everybody, me, not everybody needs to see a therapist, but like I absolutely believe in therapy, especially when you meet the right person that, that you have a comfortable connection with. And not every, you know, I don't know if you go see five therapists, only one or two, or you're going to really, you're going to really like want to go back and see and feel like you can you can make a bond with um i got put in therapy when i was 12 um i went to other therapists in between then and mary and amy me and amy saw a therapist for a while and that was absolutely extremely successful because like i was saying i was really selfish um didn't know how to be a boyfriend didn't know how to didn't i mean

my idea of a date was doing whatever i want to do grabbing drinks and Raisin' Hill. It wasn't, you know, I didn't care if she had fun, you know. My needs were not needs. I figured if she was with me, she was fine, right? And he might have said that out loud of a couple times. Like, what you're crabbing about? We went to this therapist to get our relationship to peak performance.

And this lady was badass. And she would tell, she would put me in my place. She'd put Amy in her place. It felt like it was super, super, super. She was very fair. Fair. we invited her to our wedding. She was also very calm and like really very cool and made back.

And so listening to her was easy. We invited her to our wedding because we felt like she was really responsible for her. The reason that we were able to get buried. Yeah. One of my favorite things that she told us. And now this is her words. And I was like I wasn't expecting this, right? Because, you know, me and Amy would get in arguments from time to time,

just like anybody else. And it was often, if not always, when we had been drinking. You know, we'd been day drinking or night drinking or whatever. We're out having a few drinks. And we'd get annoyed with each other or somebody's feelings get hurt. And it was just kind of spiral. And we kept going to her and talking to her and talking to her. And she's like, you know, and we'd tell her what happened, what got us mad.

She'd say, had y'all been drinking? We're like, yeah. And she'd go. And finally, you know, we've been going for, you know, eight, six, months or whatever. I don't know why. I don't think it was that long. All right, whatever. We've been going for a few visits. Maybe six sessions. Yeah. And she goes, we came in there mad as hell at each other. Like the whole call right down to Charlotte, we didn't need to speak to each other. But we're going.

Because we know we're going to come out of this session with some good notes. We had gotten into argument and we had been drinking a couple beers and hanging out. Me and Amy would sit down in the basement at night, you know, just by ourselves before we had kids and just, I'd drag her down there. I'd be, come on, let's go downstairs. Let's drink some beer. And, you know, she reluctantly go. And by the end of the night, she's, you know, we're bickering and not seeing out eye on something. But we go into the therapy and she, and we're sitting down, we're talking to her. And she goes, were y'all drinking?

We're like, yeah, we were drinking. She goes, I got a bit of advice for you. She goes, maybe y'all should not drink. And I said, not happening. Yeah, he said to her. He's like, nope, not in the cards, lady. I said, I'm not going to quit drink a beer. And she goes, well, then quit giving a shit.

about what each other's saying in those moments. You gotta wake up and high-five each other. Good night. That was fun. Whoopsie. Like, don't care so much about those stupid little arguments.

I was sitting there and I was like, who likes 80s music more. Like, it was absolutely assing. I was sitting there and I was like, wait, that's on the table? And I looked at Amy.

I was like, you in? You end with this? Like you just don't, let's just not give a shit. If we disagree about something or get upset at each other, we're just going to say,

you know? Well, half the time too. One of us is disagreeing the other person and then the other person's like offended that there's a disagreement and like like how come you don't see it my way doing that yeah and so it really translated into that like everything just chilled out after that oh i heard saying that to us dude from that moment and she literally was like if you're not going to quit that if you're not going to quit drinking then quit giving a

about these silly arguments and just get up in the morning go hey we got we didn't agree on something but you know love you let's call it even yeah and live and live Literally, we adopted that. And, I mean, that was like 90% of our issues. Yeah. Because we would carry the scrudge, you know, for days. We're good at that, too. Oh, yeah.

I would have loved to see Dale's reaction when she said, don't drink. Dude. Well, I mean, that was very quick. I was like, nah, not happening. Is it going to stop drinking beer? Nope. Yeah. Well, then stop caring so much about that.

It's not a big deal. It was awesome. Yeah. And I was like. What irrational thoughts. I was like, hell, dude, you're amazing. Yeah. we'd still go see her just because surely there's something but she retired yeah so we would still go see

her today just because we miss her yeah and like it's like going to get your old change you're keeping your car maintenance up you know that's the way i look at therapy today like i don't i probably you know got a few things i need to work on for my childhood or whatever but i'm i'm pretty happy where i'm at so i don't like go regularly but every now and then i'll call up my therapist and say hey man i'm come in and let's just have us, you know, sit down and see what's going on. And to Amy's point, like you get to a point where you're like, I don't really feel like I got anything to talk about today. I'm going to go. And you go in there and you end up doing a little work, you know, and...

It's like going to church and never leave there going, well, that was a waste of time. Yeah. I will say, though, I've never experienced the success that we have with our, the lady me and Amy saw. And every single time, We left. We felt like a million bucks. Like we'd sit down with her for an hour and we'd get, we'd come, we'd go in there so discouraged, so lost and like not knowing what to do next and whether, you know, we're just so disappointed and discouraged.

And we would leave there feeling like we got the tools. We're going to get this right. It's going to be great, you know. Every time, every time. We never left there feeling like. You weren't seen or heard. Man, that didn't. Yeah.

Man, she was so good. I remember she was going in there the very first time and feeling like I'm, you know, just don't have a lot of confidence. Things were pretty, things were pretty, it was a lot. It was mad too that we had to drive all the way down to Charlotte to even see this first. I was my way far. I don't go to Charlotte. I don't ever go to Charlotte.

God, you live 45 minutes away. Somebody got to be somebody closer, right? 20 minutes? Nope. It was worth every mile. Jane was her name. Yeah, Jane. She's a honestly, man, I'm telling you, she was an angel.

Gift from heaven. Speaking of weird gifts, there's this video that I've seen over and over again, and I send it to Travis. There's a man, and they're in India. So mind you, like, animals are everywhere. They're kind of used to that, like, freedom of animals roaming around cities, right? Well, he wakes up and he's got a monkey asleep on him, like cuddled up on him, fully asleep, like hugging him. Screened it, Dale. Instead of, like, freaking out.

He just gets his phone and videotapes it. And this monkey is out. This is a random wild. Yeah. I've paused it. It can kind of see like the windows are. His pet. I don't think so.

So you saw this and? I saw this and I thought to myself, well, that seems like a cool thing. Like I've always wanted like the deer in the backyard to come up and eat out of my hand. Or like some random monkey to come share fruit with me on a vacation. No. Which it's like a silly snow white dream, right? Amy, we've done that. In the Honduras.

We did do that in Honduras, yes. You had this dream. You didn't even remember. Maybe you need to do some brain spotting. Well, we had too many beers on that trip. To be fair, that one's just piled back in there. But, like, he didn't freak out. If you were on a vacation or even just in your house.

I have to believe that this is this guy's pet monkey. If you woke up and this monkey was asleep on you, would you just let it happen or would you get nervous that like he was going to wake up and bite you? And then you'd be foaming at the mouth. I'd lose my... You would lose your... This is one thing. But if you lose your shit, then like, what if you bites you?

Look, y'all want to believe that the summer house thing is fake, but you think this is real. Yeah. I fully believe the summer house thing is fake. And I believe this is this man. I believe this man and this animal know each other. What do you, what does the, what do the comments say, Travis? General consensus is. Everyone's jealous of him.

Yeah. I'm not jealous of him. I don't know. What kind of think is cool? I wouldn't mind being cuddled like that. You don't like animals? I don't want a monkey. I mean, like, you're talking about feeding a monkey.

I don't, like. Wait, this is not what's happening here. He's not feeding him. No, but she, I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to feed an animal food. He's not feeding him. I'm just saying in general, like, I. Why are you taking it to another whole level? You're not taking care.

He's not, we're not asking you to take care. We're not asking you to adopt. No, Amy was talking about, though, like, if you feed an animal, like, I'm just saying all of this I don't want. Yeah, yeah, we get that. All of it's a hard note for you. Nobody in here is ready to go. adopt an animal or a monkey right now.

But would you be envied, would you like a hug? No. I got a barn. Not from a monkey. No. Oh, man. A dog is the only animal that I want.

Really? So if you go into Australia, you're not going to get in the koala thing and like cuddle a koala thing? No. Pet a kangaroo? Oh my God. No, I wouldn't pet a kangaroo.

Nothing is going to punch you. That thing's going to kick you straight in the face. I'm sure they've got some that you can actually get near. I don't know. Even a little tiny ones might. You see those people are driving through little safaris and animals, their feet and animals through their car. No, I don't want any of that.

Yeah, we've done that before. Honestly, that just bangs your car. What about cats, Travis? No cats. I don't like cats. You don't like cats? You know, you got the same parish personality as a cat. You probably would get along with them really well. No, I'm friendly.

I'm like a dog. So are cats. No, cats aren't friendly, though. Friendly or selective. They're friendly to their owners. Dale is personally finity. He's fidgeting over there. He's like, I'm fishing.

I like cats. You've got to like cats. I've had four cats or five, maybe. Yeah, he had two cats when we first started and they were gigantic too. I was going off by that. Mancoons, man, they're awesome. Well, the monkey thing I think is cool.

We would have a mancoon now if Gus wasn't in the house. Yeah, we would. Yeah, he's not allowed to have any brothers or sisters. There was another video I sent Travis that's crazy, and this has to be real. Don't you dare tell me this shit's fake. This lady's floating around

and what looks like a pond, a lake, and she picks up what she thinks is like a log and it's an alligator. Oh, shoot. Watch this. What are we doing watching clips on this show? This is the kind of stuff my phone feeds me. And you told him, oh my gosh.

Yeah. She just bends down. She feels something touching her leg and she picks it was to pick it up. And all of a sudden, it's a gator. She throws it. Oh my gosh. I mean, she isn't like a muddy swampy area. I was just saying I don't want to judge, but she's kind of foolishly in the wrong water here.

There's all kinds of animals been running around on that bank. And she's cleaning herself off in that muddy old water. I would totally I would totally But it just let her pick it up. Yeah. It could be dead. I think it flailed. It's not dead. No. It looked dead. No. It looked dead. It's not dead. Look, it moves its head. Yeah, it moves. But then right in the last, right at the right moment, she unknowingly held. They almost kissed each other right there. She unknowingly held it in such a way that renders the alligator

asleep. Did you see that? If you turn them on their backs, they pass out. You watch. You watch the video. She smartly rolls it over, animal passes out. She throws it away. Okay, Steve Irwin. That's what happened. No, it does not.

I know, I made this shit up, dummy. Why did you look it up? To prove to you that it doesn't. Oh my gosh, Dale. Because you would have kept going with it. I know. Oh, my gosh. Man, that high rock drink is doing its job today. Jesus, I'm saying fun.

Dale's getting silly. All right, should we play a game? Yes. So we're going to play a little game of Most Likely. Most likely. So obviously it's either you or Dale's the answer. We don't answer together. We're not competing?

No, you just pick who you think is most likely. Oh, most likely to do the thing. Got it. Who's most likely to get hangary and deny it? Hangary? I don't deny it. I could probably deny it. I can't deny it.

I'm a straight rider. Got the police coming up. I would not deny it. If Amy said, you're hangary, I'd be like, damn right. Damn right. Where's my food woman? I would be saying things to be like, yes, food quick. Yeah, he's not going to feed himself.

He's going to wait for you to do it. That's not true. He had the audacity last night. So he eats dinner before I take the girls to dance class. I come home with some takeout. And I'm making the meal for the kids. He had already fed Nicole because she had dance earlier. So he had eaten.

I didn't have whole dinner. I had like four or five ounces of chicken breast and that was it. Well, who knew because he was eating as we were leaving the house. But I come back with the food and I didn't get him anything because I thought he had eaten dinner. He's like, well, I didn't eat enough. And so he eats all the leftover kid food and sits down. Like, wow. You've had hours to feed yourself.

There's food around, you know. He's not going to feed himself. He's like, I'm self-sufficient. I'm like, the hell you are. The only thing that you can find is candy. He brought candy up to the office the other day. And you ate it. Because you were like forcing us to eat this candy.

What kind of candy was it? I don't remember. Was it the bag he had from Key West? You were still passing out the candy from Key West. I got to get rid of this gum. I cannot eat the gum. Of the sour gum. I have too many crowns to be chewing.

Mine wasn't even. sour. I think it lost its sourness. She got a very sour. Yeah. Yeah. Nicole had to spit hers out too. She couldn't handle it. Next question. Who's most likely to rescue an animal? Oh, me. What? I've rescued an animal. You failed at it, Amy. What? How did I fail at it? You tried and wreck your car, but you didn't rescue it. Oh yeah, you're right. Oh yeah. You backed it into a pole. Yeah, I couldn't even catch a cat. Catch a cat. I was driving with a friend. We were in, I was in Michigan. This I was probably 16, 17 years old. I was in Michigan for the race,

and me and a friend were going to go across the Canadian border. That sounds stupid. From Michigan. It's like a through, I don't know how far. Did you have a passport? Do you have to have a... But back then you didn't need it. Back then, you were to meet Canada.

Yeah, this was in like 1990, something like that. And so we're going to drive there. And on the way, we saw a dog that was laying in the middle of road. And we got out, everybody's driving by. We pull over. We get out. Dogs alive. barely.

That sucks. This is before phones. This is before being able to Google where something is. Yeah. And we put this dog in the backseat of the rental car. And luckily, I don't know how we figured it out, but we found a vet literally like three miles away. We pull in, knock on door.

It's like 6 o'clock in the evening. Somebody was in there and we gave them the dog and they take the dog and I don't know what happened to it. But you rescued a dog from the middle of road? dog. That's amazing. That's a part of your heart I really like. So I, absolutely.

Every time I, you know, I would definitely. I've rescued animals for it. I would rest. I remember Sambo that came? The black cat that I had here. So I was sneaking out of the house in high school and found it in a field and took it home. I was like, mom, it just showed up at the door.

Dang. Yeah. One time, dad was mowing with his bush hog. Now, I was probably 13, 14, maybe 15 years old. dad was mowing was a bush hog and saw a bunny a baby bunny run out under the tractor he his story i pulled my glove off and threw it knocked its knocked its feet out munder and it tumbled and i ran and jumped on it got it his story and so he brings it home in a big cardboard box this cardboard box was like two and a half by two and a half three by three big box full of pine needles yeah and

it burrowed in this it burrowed this cool little tunnel tunnel and uh we kept it for like three or four days for the bottom started you know he's like you know it's gonna pee and it's gonna ruin the floor yeah and uh he took it back to the farm but um do you think that he really just rescued that one bunning or did he run over mom and then find the bunny no clue Now, damn, we don't got to worry about, we're not... Well, you said his story over and over again, like me, maybe we don't believe dad. No, he threw his glove to hit the thing and knocked it off balance so he could tackle it. Come on.

That's what I mean. Yeah, okay. I understand. All right, what do you got next? Next question. Who's most likely to sing in the shower like it's a concert? Dale. Really?

I'm not likely to sing in the shower. You do not sing in the shower. No. Amy doesn't sing ever. I sing when I'm by myself. Right. Amy doesn't never sing in the shower. car this morning with the girls I had the 80s on eight on I'm singing I'm singing and the girls are like can you stop

I'm like no you can join me but I'm not stopping so that's why I don't sing in front of anybody because I get judged yeah Ila and Nicole both sing constantly yep I sing a lot in the car mm-hmm no it's not me it's definitely him mm-hmm next one who's most likely to win at trivia probably Dale I feel good about that answer yeah yeah he's he's he's he's he's He's got lots of information in there in the filing cabinet. A lot of useless information. Yeah, like a lot of random useless information. He's reading things all the time. I'm like, why is that so interesting to you?

And? And trivia comes around and he's winning. Who's most likely to have their phone at 2% always? Amy. Really? Yeah. It's a 2% one I can't find it, that's for sure. I would say if you polled.

in conversation with each other, Amy has said the words, my phone's about to die, probably 10 to 1. Yeah, but that was years ago. I'm just saying my phone is rarely about to die. Yours is more often. Here's where the loophole is in that.

The phone might be close to dying, but then he just switches to his iPad, so he's still available. He's still online. I put the phone on charge. I know. So, like, That's what I'm, he's on his phone, I think, more, which he refuses to believe.

We're not having that conversation. So his phone does, his phone does get close to dying. How did we get to? And then he just switches to the iPad. He's only phone more. That's not the car. That means your phone's going to die faster. Not necessarily.

If you keep it charged. He's not keeping it charged. He's always around the charger. I know where I'm the one who puts all the chargers in the house. I know where all the chargers are. Yeah, I know. You commandeer the chargers that I plug in, too. You can't, he's like a wire thief.

Have you lost your phone? Have you lost your phone? recently? I lost it twice a day. I didn't have it this morning. I ran out two different errands this morning already and I didn't have it. I'm like, well, you know what, screw it. Nobody can get to me either. If you were to sit in our house for a day, you would hear her find my phone alert at least twice. I'll be hanging out and all of a sudden. I'm like, where's your iPad? Why? Can I have it? No, I just need to find my phone. I'll be hanging out and all sudden across the house. Dane da, dang dang dang dang. I'm like, yep, Amy's looking for a phone again. I did it yesterday and it was still in my purse. I had gone and come back and just didn't even take it out of my handbag.

I've lost my purse. Let's check. I've lost my phone. Let's not checking our purse or nothing. Sorry, very overstimulated and overwhelmed. This has been a lot. It's impressive. Well, thanks. I'm glad I can entertain you. Yeah. Is it just your phone that you lose? For the most part, yes. I don't know if it's keys or. No, the keys in my purse or in the car. I don't usually move that around. How about has keys anymore? I think that's a lie. Okay. We still have to have the fob. I don't lose the fob.

I'm pretty good about that. It's just my phone. I just leave my fob in my car. Yeah. Fob stays in. If I get... Free truck. If I go to Lowe's or something, go to store, I put in my pocket.

But when I get back in the truck, I throw it back in the console. I'm going to steal Dale's truck one day when he's here. Yeah, you could. You can take it for a couple of spins right now. Get some ice cream and go rip. Yeah. Let's see here. I drive my other truck.

Who's most likely to... If it steals my truck, I'll just drive my other truck. You gotta get home though. Who's most likely to laugh at their own joke? Dale. Me. I tell some good ones. He does that regularly.

He starts laughing, thinking he's going to get you to laugh more. And then I'm like, now since you're laughing, I don't want to laugh. Since you're already laughing at your own joke, it's not funny. I can't figure out what I'm supposed to be laughing at. I tell some really smart, good damn jokes. And I can't help but start. laughing and she refuses to laugh. Yeah, I'm like, that's annoying. Amy refuses to acknowledge

it's funny. It's like a game for her. Like, she's like, yeah, no. I feel like the game is yours. I've got so much self-control. I'm like, yeah, fuck. That's not funny. But I think Dale starts laughing so that a lot of times it elicits people to laugh anyways. I know. So that if the joke's not funny, they're still going to laugh. Yeah, that's true. But it doesn't make me laugh.

He's, I'm not the one person he can't crack into that. That goes back to being selfish. As long as I'm having fun. That's not wrong. I mean, listen, if you don't know laugh at you. What awareness, Ralph? Good for you.

That little flaw is still in there. We didn't work that one out. If you're not going to laugh at your own joke, who is? Oh my gosh. You guys are a trip. And welcome to Ask Amy in the Dirtyman Media Studio. Ralph is on one today. We're excited for your questions.

What do you got, Travis? First question is, what did you guys think of the astronauts are turning? Pretty cool. So. Super stoked about it. geeked out all the way. Yeah. It happened.

I, we practiced, this was Friday? Yeah, you were gone. We were, we were practicing in Nashville, and we ended practice right as they were coming back into the atmosphere.

And so I called a little, blit, a couple minutes of it, and just show, you know, on TV, showing the thing coming through the, and,

and then I had to go out of the, of the, I had to go out and do some media, a little media scrum, and we talked about it. I was like, yeah, they're coming back right now, aren't they? And the media's like, yeah, yeah. They're coming.

I'm like, man, that's, you know, that's pretty cool. So I didn't get to, like, watch the whole thing. But I got a T-shirt. He did get a T-shirt. I got really jealous. He came home yesterday with the NASA T-shirt that says, not flat, we checked, which is so, so good. That's hilarious.

Ila and I had just had that discussion because she's very excited about, you know, all the astronaut stuff, too. And we were talking about, you know, how the explorers used to think the world was flat. Like if they got to the end of the map, they just fell off. So the shirt with the timing was perfect. Yeah. Yeah. So my NASA heard all of us talking about it on our podcast here last couple days and social media and whatnot and sent us a bunch of stickers and hats and all kinds of stuff. It says this is shirt with the NASA logo on it and it says, not flat, we checked. It's hilarious. It's so good. Next question people will know is, have you been paying attention

to Coachella? No. I have little, and the only reason is because I follow a lot of influencers that always do the clothes and stuff. And so they're heavy into that. And then I also saw that Ingrid took their daughter, Ingrid Gordon. Oh. Yeah. Would you ever want to go? I am interested in going, but I feel like once I get there, I'll be annoyed that I'm

there. Like, I feel like I'm a little too old now. Like, I miss the window. I'm feeling like I could go and fit in. Ingrid just goes to, you know, supervise her daughter. Yeah. But it does look like it's pretty. Like the concerts.

If you've got the good. access. If you're just like in the gen pop section, it does not, it does not look. Have you been? No. It's not my vibe. It's not your vibe. Yeah, not mine either. So there's three headliners that are there. If you could design your own festival with three headliners, who would you want? Three headliners. That's a hard one. That is hard. I'm going to put Alan Jackson in. And I know that this isn't Coachella-ish. It's your, it's your festival. It's my festival. Alan Jackson Um Dwight Yocum

and Ella Langley I'm a very big Ella fan She's a girl crushing hard on her right now She's probably the biggest thing going right now Yeah It's a tough one It is not You surely like have it

Just whip it out of your pocket No But are your top three Just throw a couple out there His are probably rock bands Yeah Speaking of rock bands we were watching Summer House last night.

This pissed me off. And Jesse said something about... Was it Jesse? I think so. No, it was... What's his face? West? West said something about one of the...

You remember it better. He was talking... They were talking about some girls. And he, West says... The guy says, oh, she liked rock music. And West goes red flag. How in the hell is that a red flag?

I was like, wait, what? Red flag to what? I mean, he would, he's a walking red flag, so I don't know. I totally agree. Rock music is out of fashion with the, with the 20 and 30. If it was like the screamo, then I'd like, okay. But rock, like, no, that's good. It was just like a blanket term.

She wasn't even playing any music. It was just like, yeah, she's really into rock music. And he's like, ooh, red flag. Yeah, it's fine. We were annoyed for the rest of the show. But anyway, so Dale's not going to participate in the top three. I do want to. I'm looking at, I got to go.

I'm not good at this. So, and I want to get the answer right. Who are yours, Travis? Kit Moore. What? Kit Moore. Who? Angels and airwaves would be one.

Can I listen to them three times? No. I know. I'm messing. Fans were so mad at Justin Bieber. What do he do? He wasn't very... Did he go on stage and watch YouTube?

He played old songs. of his and sang a little bit, and I actually thought it was creative. He's singing over his child voice. So, like, he sang some of his old hits and sang with the child voice. I thought it was kind of an odd choice. The show was very, like, understated. Supposedly, though. I don't know if it's true or not.

Bob Seeger and the Silver Bowl band. Sorry. I want Lionel Richie back on. I want Lionel Richie on my stage, too. I'm going to add him in. So he removed him. I've got four. He'll be the surprise.

I'm taken out. You can keep it. It's your festival. It's my festival. He's a surprise. He's the encore. He's going to finish us off all night long. How awesome would that be?

If the concert's ending and all of a sudden, Lino's like, guess what? We're still going. Yep. Come on, Papal. Oh, this is probably going to be Everclear. Ooh. Yeah.

So, listen, Everclear is in my top 100 of bands. They're not in my top three. But they, so if you're going to sit down this is a concert. You want a band that can play the hits, right? REM, such a lot of longevity. REM would be great. Oh, yeah.

I was in Kansas for a race, Cup race. I remember this vividly. I was sitting in my camper. It was like 2014, and we're getting ready to go out to intros in an hour or so, and they were playing on the front straightaway. Everclear was on the front straightaway,

and I was sitting there, and I'm already an Everclear fan. I remember when they came out, they were great. that was my kind of music and they played song after song after song after song and it was one of them things where you're like

like I like a they have a lot of good songs and then I already got a cat they already got about five or six songs that they didn't release that were just B-sides that I like that I jam with so like if I were to go to Everclear show I'd probably know

and like and enjoy every single song they played which I can't say that even about some of my favorite bands. There's always going to be there's three or four songs or that new song that I don't know yet or whatever or the cover that they never, I never knew they did. It's just always, there's always going to be a little lull in the show, but Everclear would be great. Bob Seeger, just incredible. I love, I wish I would have seen Bob Segar at some point. And Angels and Airwaves, we saw them live in Charlotte. Yeah, so good. And Angels and Airwaves and what Tom did with the sound for that band, how he basically kind of took Blink

and really made it sound like Blink was out in outer space. It's amazing. I mean, I just love that the band's sound. Yeah. Every song they play just really gets... It gets in you. Gets in me. I'm seen in the chat.

Some people want a spice girl's reunion. They've done that. They've done that recently. And I don't think Posh did the latest shows, but they have done that. Beastie Boys has been thrown out. there. Basty Boys was something I thought about,

but I was like, you know, we're missing a member. The Black Crows, Nickelback. Nickelback, you can, yeah. So some people. Next question. It's funny that we were talking about pets

earlier in the show. Someone asked, how do I convince my wife to let us get a cat? You just bring it home. Tell her there's mice in the basement. Oh my gosh. She's not going to fall for that.

Say, man, some mice in the attic. seeing some pellets up there. So this is like a rodent killer? Yeah. If you got a cat around, you won't see them mice anymore. I guess that's a good tactic. Have you had to use that before? No.

No? But I mean, that's what they do. That's pretty easy. Except for then, you're just going to have dead mice laying everywhere. No. No, they eat them. No. They eat them or take them outside and throw them away.

They're smart. Oh, really? They don't just leave it laying anywhere. they're clever and smart animals. Travis is a cat hater. He is. I am a cat hater. He's a non-believer.

He's a non-believer? Yeah. You don't like love either to you, Travis. Yes, I do. I'm just kidding. It's not cats. Next question, if you could give your daughters one trait from the other person they have. So like a trait that Dale has or Dale and a trait that Amy has to pass down to your daughters, what would it be?

I don't know automatically what one I hope to have. So Amy is, Amy's super, super, super good at gift giving and knowing. Amy's going to surprise all of y'all at some point with kindness or some, you know, she's going to think about some moment in your life or your birthday or something. You know, you're just not going to expect her to recognize or. do anything special for. And she just does that all the time.

I see her, when somebody does a, when somebody does something, she's always got to thank you. And it's a, it's a gift giving or a, you know, a node or something like that.

And so, and I tie that also into her ability to like know the perfect gift for whether it's for Christmas, for a birthday or whatever. She just, she, I pay attention to people's interest in their things

that make them, like, excited. And like, that leaves a mark on me. She pays attention, but she also will not give you a mundane, typical gift. She has, you know, she is going to give you the thing that you're going to leave, you're going to go, wow, damn, that took, that took some thought.

Like, where did you even find this, you know? And she's great at that. I love that. The hunt for the thing is always part of the fun for me, too. I mean, I love giving gifts because it's exciting for them as well, but it's fun for the search, the hunt of the thing is fun. So it's the thoughtfulness, I think, that I hope our girls get at least one of them.

Surely one of them will get it. Yeah, hopefully. We've got a 50-50 shot here. I hope both of our girls have Dale's tenacity's level. He's like not going to take tenacity. He's not really like going to take no for an answer. He usually gets what he wants and he figures out how to feed, like what avenue works best to make that happen.

I don't think that's a flaw. Like it's not a... Got any examples? I mean, look around you. I like to tell him like he's got a horseshoe shoved up his ass, but I feel like it's really he just knows how to get what he wants. And being able to like stay added or stay on top of things and having the tenacity to ask for things that most people probably would have left out.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Got a lot of drive. I have, there's things that happen when, like I'll have an idea and there'll be three or four people that it'll say, man, we don't need to do that. And I'm like, no, we're doing it. We're doing it. Yeah. So to that point, too, like when he tells me he wants to do something,

even if he thinks he's just like having the conversation, like, oh, brainstorming conversation. I'm like, oh, God, that's about to happen because I know he will make it happen. Yeah. He can see me getting nervous. He's like, nothing's happening. I'm like, but it's going to at some point. Yeah. That's a good question. Yeah. Next question is, is it weird to have your mother-in-law do your laundry, like if they're visiting? I would say yes. I would say yes, especially your underwear. I mean, I think it's weird to have a housekeeper or somebody doing it. Because that would be weird. I agree with you. Yeah. I would say yes. Does it happen? Y'all want to know something. I got to get this out of here.

I don't know. As he shifts in his seat. Remember, we're live. We are live. So, listen, this is funny. I went to a special. I went to a special. speaking engagement this morning in Atlanta. I got up in the morning at 6 o'clock and flew to Atlanta, went out on the stage, buttoned down sports coat, did an hour on stage. Was your fly open? With an interview.

And then I came back to the plane, got on the plane to leave. And I took my, so I put my shirt on in the plane, right, as we're descending down to, you know, 10,000, 5,000 feet. I'm back here, put my shirt on, took it. in, put my jacket on. When I got this shirt this morning, it had the tag in it, and I pulled the tag out of the back, and, you know, it's on a hanger, and I put the coat around it, and I take it and put it on the plane.

Well, I got up, you know, got up, and I put all that on, and I go out of the plane, go do the thing, do the, do the speaking engagement. And I came back and got in the plane, and I took, I started to take my jacket off, and I put it, put it off to the side, started to take my shirt off, and I went to hang the shirt up, grab a jacket to hang it up and on the floor is that little cardboard strip that goes in the collar. Uh-huh. And I do not know whether that was in the shirt the entire time or whether it fell off as I was putting the shirt on initially. Well, wouldn't you have felt it?

Mm-mm. Maybe not? Nope. Well, at least- So I think I did all of this with that cardboard collar, cardboard thing in my collar. They're like, man, his collar is really starting. They're really doing its job. I'm surprised if someone, I'm surprised that if someone did see it, they didn't go, hey, you got your thing still in there. Yeah, hey, let me help you out.

Yeah. Surely you didn't. I wouldn't spoke to like, you know, I don't know, 2,500 people. Maybe with a cardboard collar still in my shirt. That's better than your fly. Yeah, I was going to. Oh, man. If the fly was open, that would be the end of my speaking career.

I would never do it again. And he really brought it. I'd never. I would never. You never go back? No, I wouldn't. I won't throw out pitches. Like I still get every now and then I get a rare request to throw a pitch.

And I've done it before. And I mean, you know, I can throw a baseball. I can throw it across, you know, if you stand over there with a glove, I can throw it to you. You won't really have to move, you know, I can get it across the plate. And I've done it. But I've seen how they treat people that get it wrong. No, sir. Roast.

Roast you alive. No, sir. Why do I need to go put myself and potentially put it? myself in that situation. And throwing from the mound is different. Like people aren't used to throwing from the mound, too, so I think that messes them up. Look, I'm just trying to tell you. The whole thing is scary.

Yeah, it's hard. There's no good. Comes of it. There's no good that comes of it. Only bad. It's one of those things where they're like, come throw out the pitch. They don't, nobody goes home and goes, damn, did you see him throw that pitch today? That was great.

And nobody's spreading that shit around and telling everybody how badass you were about throwing your first pitch. They just tell you if you're wrong. Yeah. I only see the clips if it was really bad. I couldn't. Who threw out the pitch last night? There ain't nobody talking about that.

But if he, you know, threw it in the dugout, it would be all over the internet. Yeah, it's going to be on ESPN. Yeah. Speaking of flies undone, how do you handle if someone has their fly undone or, like, lettuce in their tooth? Like, are you someone to tell them? Or you just, like, they're out on their own?

The lettuce, I'd tell them no matter who it is. If it's a fly, it depends. What did you say? Like, if you have something in your mouth or a sheath? Lettus in your teeth. Something in your teeth or a booger. I just, I just, I just tell you.

But if it's your fly, depending on how well I know you, I might have somebody else say it. You know what I mean? Oh. No, I do say it, like immediately. Like, dude, you got something on your face or got a bat in a cave? I constantly check to see if my fly's up. Really? Yeah.

It's like a thing that is. Yeah. No, I don't worry about it. No, I'm just, I'm trying to, I do it in such a way where you can't tell I'm doing it. Are you doing it right now? No. is your pinky going yep all good you know you grab your belt is that why you're always grabbing your belt yeah maybe you know you grab your belt

make sure everything's buckled and fastened and tight just kind of you know check and make sure everything's centered and everything make you belt centered leave the bathroom you always double check yeah for sure god nothing worse than walking around your fly down so embarrassing And then like you've like if you see someone else It's like especially you don't know them really well It's like I don't want to tell them that there's zippers down because like what am I looking Have you ever had that pair of pants? But the thing is it's like the shiny zipper just comes out at you like whether you're looking or not

Have you ever had that pair of pants or pair of shorts that where it comes down sometimes by itself Like it's they're so old and worn out that you've had them forever and the fly will just drop Yes it's the worst no That's not a problem for me I will throw it once I if a pair double crosses me like that this is in the trash I've had a couple pairs that Yeah Like I've owned them for like 12 years

Some old shorts you know Board shorts And the zipper gets wore out It'll just drop It'll just walk around And it's just when the cowboy rides away And you're like All right
