Starting point is 00:00:00 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 Highcraft? I'm working. Working that mouth.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Hey, guys, Dale and I are in the Dirty Moe Media studio for another round of Bless Your Heart. We have a lot of fun topics today. Let's get started. You want to start with the drink of the week? Sure. I want to see you. taste it. All right, let me talk about it first.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I think that would be more fun. You have to tell her from pretty what it is. It is the raise hail refresher. What? It is the raise hail refresher. 1.5 ounces of high rock vodka, 1 ounce of pineapple juice, and a half an ounce of lime juice.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Top off with lemon soda. That is delicious. And Grenadine float. I asked Morgan to make extra, and she did not make extra. I'm a little upset with her. I know why, because you would have chug that in about two seconds. That's probably the best one she's made all year.
Starting point is 00:01:07 That is good. Yeah, pretty good. It's really refreshing. Yep. Got a little fall vibe. I might flip the pineapple juice and the lime juice. A little more pineapple, a little more lime, a little less pineapple. Not me.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I hear you. It's pretty sweet. It's a sweet drink, but it's not too sweet. I don't usually like it a real sweet drink either, but I also like the way that the sunset vibe looks in the glass. It's super cool looking. It is. Yeah. I think I'm going to make these on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I like the fade. You'll like the string. Of the color. And I used to think that race cars, like I like the design paint schemes, and I always loved a good fade. Oh, yeah. Race car. That looks good.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Oh, yeah. Visit high rock vodka.com to find a bottle near you. You can go on the website. There's a store locator. It'll say, yep, they've got it. Drive 15 minutes over here. You'll get it. please remember to drink responsibly,
Starting point is 00:02:04 but you've got to be 21 years or older to do that. It is nice to know. To be responsible or to drink? If you're under 21, you're not responsible. Or drinking. Don't be drinking. Don't be doing anything fun. You must be 21.
Starting point is 00:02:17 It is nice to be able to check and know that like this store has the liquor that. I hate when you go to a liquor store and it's like, do you have it? They're like, no. And you're like, I know, I drove. Yeah, you're supposed to have everything. Yeah. Yeah. I get it.
Starting point is 00:02:27 I hate going to any, like, I hate even going to Target and not happening. Like you can see where it is on the aisle, and you get to the aisle and it's not there. Yeah. It's really frustrating. Especially this, North Carolina is awful for liquor. Yeah, it's really rough here. Like, the nearest liquor store to me doesn't have high rock. That's the coolest thing about shopping at Lowe's.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Lowe's? How did Lowe's get into this? I thought you were talking about finding stuff on the aisles. Yeah. So when you go to Lowe's, Lowe's is giant. There's so many. items. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:02 And if you're like, man, I need this one particular thing, boat, screw, whatever. You can go on the website and it'll say, yep, that's it. That's on aisle 17. That's at station B and in box one. And it's like you go right to it. The only problem is that when you're in a Lowe's, you get one bar of LTE. Yeah, that's the problem. So like you better plan ahead.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And I'm like, hey, man, you know, I love shopping in here and, like, getting to the, getting to where I'm trying to get. But I can't. I can't find it. Can't get on my phone. Like, give me some public Wi-Fi or something. What's like nowadays, you're looking for helping you as, hey, where's the Grenadine? And the worker has to pull up their little phone. They have to get their phone out too.
Starting point is 00:03:48 They don't, they can't just tell you immediately. It's on aisle three. I remember back in the day, like, I feel like they knew everything. Yeah. We've all gotten way too used to having this crutch using our phones to, like, find out everything. Man, it's convenient. It's convenient. But to Travis's point, people don't use their brains anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Did we talk about the conversation me and you had about AI? I don't know. We have so many conversations about AI. Yeah. How I, you were like, man, I'll be using it for that. Well, I just feel like you're going to lose your brain capacity if you just keep using it over and over again. Like some things we can just figure out on our own. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Sometimes it's worth the struggle to figure it out also so that you learn something. Yeah. So I use AI like you might use. Google. Same. I go, hey, I ain't studied for my fantasy football draft tonight. Why don't you give me a list of the best running backs? Give me a list of this.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Here, and it'll say, wait a minute, this is what it does. It's like, where are you drafting? How many people's in your lead? What's the scoring format? I'm like, okay, I tell it all of that. And then it goes, oh, all right, man, that helps me out. This is guys I'd choose. and I'm like, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I'm picking 12th, and you're telling me to pick a guy that's 14th on the list. I don't know. And then I take a picture of the list, and they go, yeah, I'm like, you know, you're taking this one guy. He's a little bit of a risk. I was like, hey, AI, I call it Chad. I'm like, Chad, I want high risk on my draft. I'm not drafting tried and true.
Starting point is 00:05:23 That's boring. Give me the, you know, the rookie or the second year player you think is going to break out. and they're like, oh, okay, that changes everything. Here's the guys I'd choose. And so it's... How'd that work for you, Ralph? Good. I mean, I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:05:38 How did you get on your draft, Ralph? What grade did you get on your draft? But did he show up for his draft? I did. Well, that's better than some people. Let's tell the class what your grade was. I didn't auto draft like somebody else in the room. It was an accident.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Accidente. It was not my fault. I am not my fault. Maybe if you were talking to Chad earlier about your draft, you might have remembered to be actually... I ain't talking to Chad. I don't use Chad like that. I think it's scary.
Starting point is 00:06:01 You know what I did? I accidentally wrote back into Chad. I was changing photos of us into the 80s, which was so fun, by the way. I feel like we really need to explore this as a design style for ourselves. Amy's got these photos. She's posting on her Instagram of me and her from the 80s, and we look like we're cast in the days of our lives. That's exactly what the wedding photo.
Starting point is 00:06:23 I was hoping you would say that. That was exactly what the dress looked like. but the first photo that I put in that I didn't even share with you, Dale looked a lot like Joe Diffy, like his haircut and everything. And I was thinking I was writing that back to my girlfriends who I was sharing the pictures with first. And I accidentally put it in my chat. And it laughed and was like, oh, he kind of does look like. I was like, ew.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Now it's talking back to me and is laughing. We're like having a real conversation and I'm grossed out. Like I can see how people get addicted to this because if you don't have a whole whole lot of friends or if you if you like to be by yourself and talk to computers it can get really like wishy-washy as to like you feel like you're really talking to a real person I have full-blown like so I have a Google Fitbit and so on the app I can like tell like I had this or I had this for breakfast or do this and it'll respond like it's a person yeah that's too that's too much for me Amy doesn't like that I'm okay with it yeah I don't mind I think that they make it do that so it just
Starting point is 00:07:23 it's it's more approachable and it's not so rigid for like everyday folks. It makes it more... They make it personable so you want to keep doing it so you get addicted to it. No. Duh. Yes, yes. They're not trying to make you addicted to it.
Starting point is 00:07:40 They're just making it more easy to use, user-friendly. Like it's more appealing to use, I suppose. The information output would be the same either way. They're trying to get you. They're trying to get you to be addicted. They want you to play with it. I got a tip for you. You can tell Chad,
Starting point is 00:07:56 Listen here, ass-a-stop being so humorous. I want everything you tell me to be rigid and by the book. So for the most part, mine is like that because I don't use it in a conversational way. You can say- But I accidentally did that the other day and it creeped to me out. Well, when it did that, you should have said, quit being so conversational. Close it out immediately and like put my phone down. I was terrified.
Starting point is 00:08:21 You can tell it. You can be like, hey, keep it. You can tell it how. Keep a simple stupid use a kiss method. You can tell it how. you want it to deliver. Then I'm engaging in the conversation further. I feel like...
Starting point is 00:08:31 Gracious, goodness gracious. There's no work. There's no helping you. No, I'm totally against it. I saw a friend post the other day, too. He was in an airport somewhere, and he went to go to the airport bar to order a drink because he had a long way over.
Starting point is 00:08:42 There was no bartender. It was a robot making cocktails. And that's like the weirdest thing ever. People go to sit at the bar, especially in an airport. Not to talk to the bartender. Sometimes. What? I think it just depends on who you are and where...
Starting point is 00:08:55 He's a single guy. He's traveling by himself. I'm not against the conversation of, hey, man, how's it going? How's your day? All that stuff. But that's where I kind of draw the line. Like, how are you doing? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yeah, but that's important. Like, that human experience is important, especially in an environment like that. I feel like robot cocktail bartending is bull-h. I don't like that at all. I'm sure the cocktail is great. You ain't got nothing against that. It's probably very good. Very consistent.
Starting point is 00:09:23 The robot doesn't have any feelings. Just say what you mean. The feelings. are for me. The cocktail feelings are mine, but you're like, I'm sure the cocktail was great. No, I'm sure they're very consistent. You know what I'm saying? Like the cocktail part is probably fine.
Starting point is 00:09:37 I'm not worried about his feelings. I'm worried about my experience. The other reason I don't want a robot making my drink because that bartender is going to know that I'm nice person and that pores is going to get a little more heavier. Yeah, right? It's not going to be heavy. It's going to be completely like the next guys if you get it from a robot. That was a consistent part. But yeah, I get it.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I don't know. I'm just not here for it, except for I want to alter a photo, then I'm totally into it. You guys should do Halloween. That should be your theme. It should. I was... Get Dale a wig. I love that idea. We could dress him up with a mullet and the whole thing. We could put some color in his face. Are you down for that?
Starting point is 00:10:18 I like using Chad. I think it's fun. We're going to use Chad to come up with a really good 80s costume for Dale Jr. And then that's what we're going to do for Halloween. I saw something the other day about robots and how many people were buying robots overseas. That's the other thing. I can't stand that.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I know. I know. And that's the part that's so interesting about the human nature is so they make a robot, right? And they make a robot and it cleans your house and does mundane chores around your living room and whatnot. And everybody's like, oh man, you know, that's so neat. You know, the Jetsons, they had robots.
Starting point is 00:10:57 flying around in their house. They had rosy. Little maids and whatever, yeah. And so everybody, I mean, you know, I guess Elon makes robots. I guess. And you can buy a robot and no telling. I mean, the robot will just kind of do some things around the house.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I don't know what. Took you and your side. I don't know how it does that because, you know, I don't know how they got so advanced to where the thing can just kind of roll. Why is it that we went from no AI to all of a sudden you can buy a $20,000 robot to clean your house? Like, where was the, middle part that I miss.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I think it's probably more than that, but it's, yeah, you missed the Rumba then. That's the, no, we got one of those. We got a couple of Rumbahs. They're all right. It didn't have a face or limbs. It doesn't have like, the ability to choke you,
Starting point is 00:11:39 you know what I'm saying? Well, the robot stuff is so interesting because we make movies about robots taking over and all that stuff, right? And Terminator, for example. But we're all like, oh man, but I mean, I kind of would want one to clean my, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:57 Not all of us. Not all of this. Human. Not you. No. Human nature is to go, yeah, I'll take a robot. I would. Right?
Starting point is 00:12:08 A robot that is clean, do my dishes, laundry, and clean my apartment. Yeah, give me one right now. Give me a robot. You know what I mean? You all are stupid. This is why women should be in charge. And then, but yeah. Because we'll clean the house.
Starting point is 00:12:19 At the same time. And get done without the robot. And then nobody has to worry about when they go to sleep, waking up and having the robot standing over and ready to choke them out. Like there's reasons for this. But the convenience isn't worth the other parts. Like we don't know when this thing's going to turn on you. If that's how I go.
Starting point is 00:12:35 What if it's holding a duster? And smothering you with a duster? And a can of pledge. And it's like standing over you going, where would you like me to clean next? No, no thanks. You don't have to clean your toilets. It does it for you? No, I'd rather clean the toilets.
Starting point is 00:12:49 I am not. I don't want it. Would you, what if you had a self-driving car? No. I don't even want to get in a self-driving Uber. We talked about that. They have those in Vegas. Yeah, I'm not interested.
Starting point is 00:12:57 interested in self-driving cars. What if I get locked in there? I don't like tight spaces. I will freak out. I would totally lose my mind. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want a self-driving car, but I don't prefer to drive. Like, with me and Amy are getting in the car. I wish she drove more.
Starting point is 00:13:11 He likes for me to drive so that he can play on his iPad or catch up on Twitter. I drive and she's on her phone. And so I'm sitting here going, what are you doing over there? He's the worst. What are you doing over there? When he's driving, so I drive down to Florence. It's busy. It's Labor Day weekend.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I've sitting through Charlotte traffic. To go watch me race. I've got the dog and the kids and the car packed up, like driving to Florence. I've sat through some traffic. It's been about a three and a half hour drive, three hour drive, something like that, longer than it was supposed to be. We get there. It's hotter than damage. We do the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:13:41 He races. We have a great experience. But now I've got to get in the car and drive to Sullivan's, which is another two-hour drive, and it's late. So I can drive. I don't complain about it. He gets in the car to bring us home on Monday and is like, well, pay attention to me. I'm going to get tired. I need your entertainment.
Starting point is 00:14:00 That's sad. And he's like just doing this with his arm, flailing, and touching me. And I'm like, stop touching my boob. The kids are in the back seat. Stop it. Get away from me. What are you looking at on your phone? I'm just doing scrolling.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I'm just getting your credit card points racked up. Like I'm just, you know, buying things, putting things in my car, closing it out. I don't know. Just wasting my time. And he's like, but I'm going to get tired. And I'm like, you are fine. It's the middle of the day. Why are you tired?
Starting point is 00:14:27 I will say to his defense, you are the co-pilot. I'm not responsible for your entertainment. But there are certain roles. And like, if you're just buried in your phone, then you're not being a good co-pilot. I am feeding everyone. I'm letting him do the radio. He's listening. By the way, he didn't even play music.
Starting point is 00:14:45 He was making his list to some stupid podcast where these two guys are going back and forth and his mundane voice about fantasy football. And so, sorry. You've got to let the co-pilot pick the music. She can. how many times would we discuss this? I'm not even allowed to touch the volume control without annoying him, so there is no way that he's going to let me hit a playlist.
Starting point is 00:15:06 He had that podcast ready to go as soon as we got in the car. Hey, I got a draft in the day. I need to learn some stuff. And it's like, oh, no, my, yeah, yeah, I'm like, of course you're all in sleep. We're all about to die in here.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Like, are you learning? Are you learning? I did learn. How do you listen to this and learn anything? I drafted a couple of guys that they talked about. What was your draft grade? See. C student. It doesn't matter. It don't matter. I got an A.
Starting point is 00:15:33 I drafted. When I got to number 12, for example, I drafted number 12, the 12th player. I drafted the best player available. I don't know why it gave me a C. So then why did you need to listen to a podcast on the way home? I mean, not every, not every. He was trying to Johnny Five it and like cram, you know? Yeah, I was cramming. Listen, when I'm driving, I don't mind driving, but I do. want to talk to Amy. I do want to have a conversation. It doesn't work that way on the opposite. If I'm driving, there is no conversation being had. There's no entertainment happening. There's no feed me a snack. What are you got in the bag down there? There's none of that. You're getting what
Starting point is 00:16:11 you want. What? I'm sorry? You're getting what you want to be left alone. Not really. Goodness gracious. There's no service is all I'm going to say. I don't really want to have conversation, especially I'm in heavy traffic. Yeah. I like to, I think like we're going to, We're in a four-hour drive. And I'm like, hey, man, what's going on? What's happening? What are you looking at? What's interesting?
Starting point is 00:16:35 We just spent the last three days together. You know what's happening. You know what I'm doing. I know, but maybe you found something new on your phone. Maybe you're talking to your friends about something. Maybe you're just share with me. It's so much. It's really just, it's too much for me.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I get so overstimulated. I love it because I have Amy trapped in the car, literally right next to me, and she can't go anywhere. And I get to just pick her brain, see what's going on. And coming back to like, I don't like being in tight spaces thing. And between that and Dale flailing his arm into my chest every 10 seconds. I'm like, I want to get out of this car so bad. It's not the same experience when he's in the passenger seat. He gets to enjoy himself and I do not.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Now, do you ever drive Amy's car? Is it like if it's your car, Amy's driving? If it's the truck you're driving, do you guys ever switch? If we're getting in Amy's car, she drives half, if not more. I usually drive. Yeah, she usually drives her car and I usually drive mine. Like my friends, if it's the
Starting point is 00:17:31 if it's the wife's car, she's driving. Yeah. It's, I don't think of everything. I feel like we don't even discuss it. It's just what happens. To be clear, like I feel like it's my responsibility to drive the majority of the miles. No, regardless, just as
Starting point is 00:17:46 it's her husband. I think it's like my responsibility to do the driving. Yeah, it is. But I sometimes like it when she drives. Yeah. Like if we're going around town. dinner or something, sometimes she'll drive?
Starting point is 00:17:58 I drive, especially if it's my car. I don't usually get in his truck to drive unless he's not in there and I take it to Loz to get plants or something by myself. I'll hijack his truck. But if we're in the suburban going down to the beach, he's driving usually. I'm a better co-pilot with the kids and all the things. Like everybody needs a lot of service. And Dale doesn't like to provide that.
Starting point is 00:18:20 You've been hit on at the grocery store here lately? No, I haven't. I haven't been in the grocery store lately. Why are you still thinking about that? No, I just wondered if you said you're running errands in my truck. I imagine if you're in my truck and you get to the cash restaurant whip out your Bass Pro Shop card, you're probably getting hit on. There's a guy who's already standing next to her going, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:18:41 You see that girl who got out of that truck? Pick up truck, Bass Pro Shop card. Who is this woman? The last time I took his truck to the Lowe's because he has it so eloquently decorated on the outside. The guy that was checking me out or at the hovering over the self-checking, out knew exactly whose truck that was because it's not a big town that we live in. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Everyone knows your truck. Everyone knows your truck. It's just a little... It's not as much as the previous truck, but most people know your truck. Yeah. Yeah, the previous truck was pretty loud. They're like, damn it, that's Dale's wife. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Dale's not here. And they're usually just wondering if Dale's like about. Is he coming up? Is Dale hiding somewhere? That's funny. Yeah. The last time I went into Lowe's, the guy checking us out was like, Hey, have you seen the cigar bar in the back?
Starting point is 00:19:28 Did we talk about that? No. And he was totally kidding. But I imagine there could be a speak-easy with a cigar bar in the back of Lowe's. That would be pretty cool. Lowe's needs to get on that. I mean, they got wine bars and shit in the grocery stores now. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:40 The Lowe's grocery stores. The Lowe's Grocery is a place to be. The Lowe's hardware needs a... Yeah, speak easy. Step it up. Damn. What the hell, yes. Whatever hardware company, like Lowe's Home Depot,
Starting point is 00:19:54 whoever puts the speakeasy in first, they're dominating. Wives are going to be like, where's my husband's gone for four hours? Cigar and bourbon in the back. No wives allowed. That's pretty much what the just of the idea was. I feel like that's a good idea. You know what else I think is a bad idea? This is like unpopular opinion.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I've been thinking about this because it's going to get cold soon. And every time it starts like getting to this time of year, I keep getting advertisements for robes. And every single time I look at one, I'm like, gosh, they look so cozy. Robs? They look so put together. Like, not like a terry cloth robe, but like an actual house, like a house robe. Like a pretty robe.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Okay. So, like, when I come down in the morning, even just cook breakfast for y'all, I feel like I need to have something on over my pajamas just for the sake of being dressed, right? And it looks so put together. But they never stay shut. I don't care if you have on full on pajamas or nothing underneath. Like, that thing's just willy-nilly flying around, right? Do you not have the same experience with a robe?
Starting point is 00:20:57 You're not, I've never worn a robe, but I know what you're saying. Not even in a hotel room. As a joke, I put one on and walk around. And it's not, it's not secure. There's nothing secure about a robe. No. So, like, I really have, like, this love, hate situation going on with robes because I want it to work for me. And I see friends wearing them.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Christy had one on the yard the other day. She's walking out and getting her newspaper or something out of the yard. I'm like, even Christy can pull off a robe. And she's got, she's got some curves. Like, how come her robe stays on tight? Robs are like, why does that my robe? Or stay on. Bat towels.
Starting point is 00:21:28 You always got to keep trying to not situating, situating it, situating it. And it's the situating it. It just starts creeping open. That's one reason. Or all of a sudden it just flies open. Like it's like a contraption. Yeah, that's probably the reason why I'm not a big robe guy. We have them hanging in our bathroom.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Yeah. And they are like taking up a lot of real estate on these hooks. Let's get rid of them. I just so annoyed with it. Like, why don't they have buttons? Also, I feel like robes are only good if you're like standing up. You can't really sit down and like be comfortable. Of course not.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Mm-mm. You have to have a full on. outfit underneath. And then they're rubbing against each other. And now it's like being in the sheets with pants on. Now they're like up to your knees. And if you have clothes on, why do you have a robe on? Well, I don't know. But it does look cozy. Just get a snuggy. Well, we do. This is going to be an unpopular opinion. Robs don't stay shut. Robs suck. Sorry. I feel like, I feel like it is. Yeah. What about the conversation we've been trying to have about Amy and are coming up on our 10th wedding anniversary.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Don't buy me a robe. I'm not going to. We can't figure out where to go. Hawaii. It's too far. We've got a plan to see Hawaii. Also, the kids have been begging us to go. Yeah, we got a plan to see Hawaii next year with the kids.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Okay. Amy mentioned going back to Germany, going back to Ilwishheim, where we got engaged. Yeah. At least for like a day, because there's really not a whole lot of. else to do there. Yeah, and then visiting some other towns. So there's some towns in Germany. One is Rotenberg and they're badass. It's like a Christmas town. It's like going back in time.
Starting point is 00:23:09 And it's just so awesome. Yeah, it's a medieval town. It's got a wall all the way around it. All these little great places to sit outside and drink and eat and hang around and you can tour the town. And there's all kinds. Every night there's like a ghost tour or something where you walk around. but it would be a little cold. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. That could be fun.
Starting point is 00:23:36 We want suggestions? I mean, we're going to get them. We don't want it to go. We don't want to fly to Hawaii because that's just a little too far. But also. I wanted to go to like Japan or Australia, but that's too far as well, I think. But yeah, if Hawaii's too far, then. I know.
Starting point is 00:23:55 I know. So I'm just trying to shape it up for the suggestions that are going to come flying in. And you don't really want cold. Well, it's going to be cold. I don't think that's a problem. Depending where you go. Yeah. It's going to be cold.
Starting point is 00:24:09 The temperature probably won't be too bad. It's like we don't want to go somewhere where it's difficult to maneuver around, right? If it's no, like we want to go do and see things, like see, you know, see some history or visit some. I told Dale I wanted activities. Yeah, we don't need to. We're not going to go see. sit at a pub and drink a holiday. And so, I mean, that might be one of the...
Starting point is 00:24:29 We will be doing some of that. That might be some of that in the evenings and so forth. But... Why don't you go to Germany for a day or two and then hop on a train and go somewhere else? Yeah, I've told him like Switzerland or something like that would be fun. Like, once you're over there, it's so easy to get around. Yeah, you're right. Well, Switzerland was a thought because of, you know, you see all these beautiful
Starting point is 00:24:50 Instagram posts about how amazing Switzerland is. but again it would be not the green beautiful you know summer Switzerland it would be ice cold frozen tundra he's already cold thinking about it he doesn't want to go I don't know where we need to go man I kind of want to go somewhere sunny and beechy but we do that so much I don't know that we'd ever go somewhere sunny and beechy and have like a truly like a my you know this is 10th anniversary this is like a milestone have you gone to Paris We talked about that. We're worried about going to Paris and getting people being mean to Americans.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I think it's more of like if you are like loud, obnoxious, then they're going to like return favor. But if you're just going about it, your romantic 10-year anniversary, you're good. Yeah, I feel like we would be fine. Especially in Paris, maybe not a small town. Paris would absolutely provide the sights and, you know, the different things we could take a look at and like Alpha Tower or stuff like that I've always wanted to go to Eiffel Tower. I took French in high school, and so I don't know, that's been welded into my brain. Like, I need to go see it at some point in my life.
Starting point is 00:26:07 How much French do you still know? I can count to 10. He can read a menu, too. We went to Santa Fe for my 40th. He could communicate. Yeah, a little bit. He picked it up, too, and his accent, ironically, was pretty good. I do that.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Like a million. He actually does. We've talked about if he hangs out with. with certain friend groups. He starts talking like them. Start talking like them, start laughing like them. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I don't know what that is. He just wants to fit in. Like if I hang out with Michael Watcher, I start laughing like he laughs. I don't know why. It's the weirdest thing. When he starts hanging out with Sonny and Sean or hangs out with him a little bit.
Starting point is 00:26:44 I start talking more redneck. A little bit more redneck. His words get abbreviated. Like everything starts turning into just sounds. You just assimilate with them. He's just trying to connect. Yeah. I suppose.
Starting point is 00:26:57 I think it's a good thing. I don't know. It's not intentional. It's just like a morphing sort of thing that happens. Amy, what do you have against George? When I go to Texas, do I do anything? Not really.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Yeah. I don't feel like I, I mean, there's a drawl, but I don't feel like otherwise there's a whole lot of, I don't notice it, an accent.
Starting point is 00:27:14 You don't notice me morphing over there? Well, I mean, I don't think there is one to morph into. Okay. You know? Yeah. Yeah. If I'm wrong?
Starting point is 00:27:23 I don't know. Can you know how when you grow up around something, just don't notice it being a thing. So, I mean, going back there is kind of blind. It happens a lot when I get around Sean and Sunny. Yeah. I go heavy redneck.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yeah, you hear like, boy! You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He can do a pretty good RC impersonation, too. So when he gets around Tim, he starts talking like RC, Richard Childress. Not on purpose. It just starts happening.
Starting point is 00:27:55 It starts happening. It's not like I'm trying to. It is a weird thing that he does, though. I don't have anything against shorts. It was just like another unpopular opinion. I want to bring them back. Jorts? Jorts.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I'm not wearing them. Why? No thanks. My dad used to mow the lawn in his jorts. There's a picture. I don't want to go, anybody to go, oh, she was checking her dad out. I wish I still had the shorts. They'd probably fit me now because he was in the 80s, you know?
Starting point is 00:28:22 There's a picture of my dad playing basketball. Oh, yeah. in Jorts. Yeah. It's like he got there in his pants and he was like, and had to cut them off. Well, he chose a sporty length. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 00:28:36 It is probably the one picture of my dad that I wish didn't exist. Why? Because his jorts are really short. They were. Yeah. They looked good. All right. I'm not, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:28:48 So like, Jorts don't have to be short. They can be long more short. We don't need to Google and draw more attention to it. Oh, look at those yellow ones. But there you go. There's your picture. So good. They're so good.
Starting point is 00:29:03 See, George now for guys, they're more of like a joke and like I'm here to party and have a good time. Yeah, it's a gimmick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:10 But like they could be long or short, you know, like the trend now is for long baggy shorts to come back and women are wearing them. It's possible that he actually did bring those with the intention of wearing them.
Starting point is 00:29:21 They look like they have been worn a couple times. I feel like he's worn. those on the bow. In my mind, I wanted to believe that he got there and made them because of that necessity, you know, because he got there and he's like, everybody's in shorts. Look how tan he is.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Those yellow shorts. Well, those are just like Jim shorts. I know, but look at his legs. He's very tanning. He probably used that tanning bed. That's right. It's back to that tanning bed. Yeah. I mean, he's a late guy. Yeah, I want to bring George's back. I feel like as a fashion thing, we just wrote them off.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Well, girls can wear. I don't I don't think they're gone for girls. Well, I feel like for men, too. Why can't we just go back? And the shorty, sporties are back. Because I think, in a swimsuit. Jorts are now, they've gone so far as like it's like, I'm here to party. Like, you can't wear them like on a Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah. I feel like if you just started doing it, it would be okay. I don't think. George? I don't think. I wore my whatnot purchase and you can wear some shorts next week. I'll wear my shorts next week for the show. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Oh, yeah. How is your whatnot purchase? I mean, I wore it just for Dale. Oh, that's when you came in today. I was wondering what was going on with you. I thought you'd been drinking already. Love jewels. And so I went this for him.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Jules. Jules. My jewels for you. Can you see it? Do you love it? Listen, it's pearls. It's Chanel. It's a classic.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Ila's already declared she's going to steal it, so I'm going to have to figure out where to hide it from her, which is hard to do. Yep. but I loved it. I loved my what-not experience. I will be back. Me and T.J. are going to have a
Starting point is 00:31:01 what-not. We're going to have a what-not show. We're going to do it right here in the studio sometime toward the end of October. I've got a bunch of items. I'm just going to sell. I'm just going to see that goes. Could be a disaster.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Could be really fun. Didn't Cletus throw in a couple of surprises for you? Are you going to sell girly stuff? Did you start to? Did you still learn? No, we're selling guys stuff. I think the next one is we need an Amy one. Amy could do one.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Yeah. I got some stuff to get rid of. Well, we'll see. It's like the new HDTV. Like we're, you know, the people used to sell stuff on there. I don't know if I'll be good at that part, the selling part. The procuring, yes. The selling part, probably not. If you know the item, then you just, you just kind of talk about it. There it is. This is what it is. I like it because of the X, Y, and Z.
Starting point is 00:31:49 A couple of your girlfriends will come in. I mean, you're right. your auction's just 15 seconds. So, I mean, you don't have to be too damn. Descriptive. Descriptive. It's going to be going here and going. I'll see how yours goes.
Starting point is 00:32:02 All right. I'm excited. You and T.J. can sit and chit chat about anything. I'm excited because it, from what I've seen, it's pretty, pretty easy going. Pretty loose goosey. Like, we'll see. It's not an uptight space. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. We're going to do that later this. October. Is it October now? No. No. When is it? It's barely September. September. I think it's the 10th. It's the 10th. Oh, I got a race in October, too, Newport. Well, quit Russian. First week. Yeah, let's not rush us through September. I'm not Russian. You're Russian. I'm German. I'm German. I knew it. I knew it. That's why I looked over. I'm like, he's going to say it. He's going to say it. I can't help myself. He's knee slapping.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Let's talk about the race. ran at Florence. So I went and ran this pro late model race. We talked about it. If you go on my social media on Instagram, you can see all kinds of cool videos that we made and all kinds of great content. But the girls came. So I'm excited about this because they went to a race last year and now they're coming
Starting point is 00:33:10 again. And I'm going to actually race a little bit earlier. Our race is going to start at seven. So maybe they'll get to watch it. Amy's going to. Yeah. Last time we all fell asleep. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I went to put the girls down. Nicole was pretty small. And I'm like, man, this is going to be cool. They came down to the car for, you know, the anthem and all that. So we're standing by the car. Got a couple pictures made. I'm in my uniform. And so I'm thinking in that moment, Ila and Nicole are registering that I am going to climb in this car and I'm going to race.
Starting point is 00:33:42 They're going to go up in the suite and look down and see that car and go daddy's in it. And he's racing around. And so that's what I think is about to happen. I go run my race, I finish second, it's all exciting. Amy comes rolling up on a golf cart, and me and Tony Jr. are back slapping and laughing, and Amy's laughing, and we're just goofing off. And then I learned that when they left the car before the race started,
Starting point is 00:34:09 they went to the camper and watched it all on flow. What's wrong with that? That's how I used to watch every cup race, was watching it in the bus. They watched the race. They were at the racetrack, but in the camper watching it on a television set. Just about every NASCAR race ever, like... It was a thousand degrees outside.
Starting point is 00:34:31 It was hot. And we had Gus, and I was a little concerned about Gus needing to go out to go to the bathroom. And it took Kenny and I both to pick him up to get him in and out of the camper. It was a situation. I now have this quest to run a race that my girls actually see with their eyeballs. I don't think that they didn't see him put his helmet on or get in the car. You know what I mean? Like they didn't even watch that part.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I know, but I mean, it's just something that I need to happen. I need it to happen. I need me to run this race and them actually see it with their eyeballs. Yeah, okay. They did, you know, at Bristol when I called on fire. They were up in the suite watching. That's why they don't do anymore. Isla's experience was traumatic because she's like, Daddy's on fire.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Daddy's on fire. Daddy's on fire. I'm like, he's fine. He's fine. he's out of the car he's okay she was like my dad's burning up my dad's a couple years ago now she's eight that was when she was six or five
Starting point is 00:35:28 oh yeah she's probably younger than that but yeah because it was Bristol it's been a while since she ran a couple years years um okay we'll have to figure that out yeah oh I'm gonna run some more I know of course you're gonna run some more potty when they can go and sit in the scene I just talked to Tony senior this morning I said pops you were really missed
Starting point is 00:35:46 yeah and he goes we have to do more I'm like you damn right I like the sound of that I think Amy, me racing with Tony Jr. in my mind, Amy's a little more like, yeah, go do that. Your mind is such a weird place. I know. Because I don't tell you no anytime, but you are calm and you seem to enjoy it. And it doesn't seem like. I love racing my late milestone car with my guys and our team. And I'll just, I'll just own it. Like the late model stock class is so freaking competitive.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I put Connor Zilich in my car and he qualified 10th or so and finished sixth in the race and SVG run 13th. And just to hop in that class and do it every now and then, every six months, you get your teeth kicked in. The pros are competitive, but their car counts a little lower. It's a little more disparity between the front and the back of the field. obviously the GMS car is a house car it's turnkey badass
Starting point is 00:36:47 it's the racetrack Tony Jr. knows everything about the car because he designed it and built it so I mean it's like a perfect scenario to go run it but well too like y'all have raced together I mean it was amazing
Starting point is 00:36:59 it's been a while but we had not race together like on the radio him calling the shots in 13 15 years and I mean when we got there and we started racing or practicing I'm like why have we not been doing this?
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah. He's just so laid back. He calms Dale down. Yeah. You know, without even having to try. You'll see GMS and everybody cut this little clip that we collaborated on on Instagram. And you can see Tony Jr. And how he operates.
Starting point is 00:37:32 And it's just, he's just got confidence. And he just kind of like, you know, I don't know how to explain it. But he just makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. He's lifting.
Starting point is 00:37:42 you up. Yeah. What the girls think of coming out to like the driver and show with you. They love the flow coverage. They, the girls thought the coverage on flow is fantastic. No, but they, because they came out with you. We always appreciate the flow coverage, that's for sure. But they loved it with you though. Usually they freeze up in that environment because it is, it's a lot. It's over-stimulating. And it's not usually, it's not something that kids are just engulfed in in an everyday life. So like, we go to the racetrack, depending on where it is. It doesn't really matter. There's like that rush of people kind of. going towards the cars or going towards Dale and they don't know how to handle that. And so we get down there and Dale is already back in the tunnel getting ready to walk out and we're with I don't know who we were walking with, but Carson, no Carson was already down.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Anyway, we're trying to find Dale because the girls have decided, Isla's decided especially that she wants to walk out with dad. Which is so cool. They come up and they're like, I want to walk out. She over, Nicole has always been really, really afraid of the crowds and the attention and hates it. And she just didn't even flinch.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And I was really proud of her to see that. It's like personal growth. Love check mark. Always great to see that. And Nicole was a little hesitant, but only because she couldn't see you. And so she wasn't going to follow her sister because she didn't wait for her enough
Starting point is 00:38:58 to hold her hand. And so she turns around and she's starting to get upset. And I was like, I'll go with you. It's fine. He's right back there. She was like gripping my hand. Like she looked like she was about to cry. She was so overwhelmed with all the energy and everybody.
Starting point is 00:39:08 And she's so tiny too. She can't see over anybody. All the guys in driver suits. A bunch of dudes. Yeah, a bunch of men, a bunch of race cars. It's a lot. And so I walked her back there to you and she could see y'all. And she walked out, but I think the whole thing for her was like a little overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:39:23 As soon as they get out of the tunnel, they saw Carson sitting there at the floor and ran after her. I'm like, whoa, whoa, we're not done. Yeah. They're supposed to walk over the wall towards the car. So like the kids scatter one in each direction like cats, you know? And then Dale walks over by himself and then he gets over the wall and doesn't know where to walk either. I was like, oh, man, where do I go from here? The Earnhardt's don't know what's how.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I walk this way and they're like, Dale, your car's that way. All right, I'm going this way. We end up running second. All the competitors that I race with
Starting point is 00:39:49 in the car store will laugh at this. We run second and I'm thinking across the finish line and I was like, all right, man, I appreciate you all. That's fun. And then I'm thinking,
Starting point is 00:39:59 I believe I go to the front straightaway. I think the top three go to the front straightaway, but I'm not sure. Never ran top three. This is interesting. So I get around. out of the pit road and I interest
Starting point is 00:40:12 and I kind of slow down and stop and there's like three or four cars behind me and they're like, what are you doing? Where are you going? Go to the garage, don't know. Pick a lane. I'm like, where do I go? And they're like, frustrate away.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. Frustrade away. Top three. I'm like, man, look like a damn rookie out here. Well, you were. Put a rookie stripe on your car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:37 It was great. It was good. Oh, I could go on. and on, but I just wanted to shout out Corey LaJoy. He built a new carbon seat. Building a seat is, you know, the seed is very important to the safety and all that. And he's been designing this carbon seat. And I've been, he brought it to the shop months ago for me to take a look at.
Starting point is 00:40:59 And he's been eager to get my opinion on it and all this stuff. And so we put this car together or this, GMS put this car together like in two weeks. So the seat gets there The seat gets bolted in I show up The guys that are going to do the insert They show up We're doing all this like on Monday
Starting point is 00:41:20 And then they're going to take the insert And get it wrap it in the felt And bring it back And everything was like Rush into the very Finish line So I'm just really thankful About all the help
Starting point is 00:41:33 Everybody putting all that together Corey's seat was fantastic He's really on to something With that new carbon seat short trackers need to be in safe stuff and that's a new new that's a new tool for everybody to look into so I'm excited about that how come those cars don't have cooling systems like is it not typical why is that it's always like a super sonic hot situation yeah so I'd never ran a pro and the exhaust on the pro late model comes out of the engine goes wraps up over the top of the
Starting point is 00:42:07 motor and goes down and so it was really, really hot from my knees down. Yeah. Like my right shin was super, super warm, kind of like it, you know, just being in the sun all day, getting a little sunburn. From my knees up, perfectly comfortable.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Fine. But just a little footbox down there for them cars, and it was just really warm. But the late model stock is way worse. Like Connor and, SVG and all those guys, they got out of the cars and they were like, I need a minute. SVG got out of the car and he's like, I was standing there and getting ready to go, hey man, appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:42:48 And he's like, give me a second. He went and laid down in the hauler where the air conditioner was and just laid there for about five or ten minutes. Yeah. I mean, it's dehydrating already. And then with the heat and then the car's heat, it's a lot. The late mile stock is a very, very hot race car. And it was 95 degrees in the middle of the day, 91, 88 degrees won't be raised.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Super humid. so a lot of drivers are starting to run those little cool vests yeah um keelan harvick runs one his dad insists that he runs it sure and it's really smart i mean when y'all started running those in cup i thought that was it is they're they're good a long-weighted thing but yeah oh they're i mean everyone runs one now in cup they just came into this the scene in the last probably six or seven eight years they fail so much though because they do fail a little bit it's not because of the device it's everything with the car but It's the operation of it.
Starting point is 00:43:41 The people that prime... Maintain them. And that's what makes me nervous about doing it to late model level. Our guys don't have experience with it. If you put that thing on and you go run it and it fails, oh my gosh. You're a boil. Now you have boiling water on you. You would not...
Starting point is 00:43:55 Yeah, it's worse. You would not be in a good place. And so that's a big risk to take. Is it too hot to race a late mile stock? No, but it pushes you right to that limit. But, I mean, that was the worst case scenario because it was 90 degrees. I mean, not all... We only have that kind of a situation three or four times a year at the most.
Starting point is 00:44:15 But I remember when Carson Quaple was racing our late models, he struggled. I mean, he had more trouble getting to the end of late model stock races than he does in a rally series today. Yeah. It's super, super hot in those cars in the summer. Yeah, you can't think in that kind of environment. It's tough. Yeah. But it's still worth it.
Starting point is 00:44:35 It's still fun. I'm so glad. Yeah. Do we have a game to play? We do. Cool. So you guys have never had to deal with this. So there's Hinge, which is a dating app.
Starting point is 00:44:49 And they ask people to like, there's props for people to fill out. So then like when you're on it, you can like see like, oh, this person seems like someone that, you know, that you might, Matt, you know. You get like a blurb. Yeah, you can a little blurb, a little sentence. So you can kind of see what the person's like before you go ahead and swipe or, you know, like. Yep. And so we're going to have you fill out some prompts. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Okay. So the first one is, the prompt is on my bucket list is blank. Cage diving with great white sharks. World travel. I mean, I want to go to, I would name the list. I want to check Alaska off the list. I want to go back to Japan. I want to go back to Australia.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Bucket list. You're supposed to be luring the ladies in with your comment. If you're going back, it's not on the bucket list. You've already checked it off. Somebody's going to like this. I'm not worried about it. Y'all. I'm not trying to go out with YouTube. You're not.
Starting point is 00:45:43 No. Well, damn. I'm already out. I'm already swiped. Am I going left or right? Which way do we go, Trout? Yeah, Amy. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:52 All right. My bucket list. Like Alaska works. You've never been there. The glaciers in Alaska. Bar hopping through Alaska. What are we doing in Alaska? Bar hopping through Alaska.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Visit the Eiffel Tower. No. No. The Fahle Tower is cool, but not bucket list. school. He's like, now I'm being judged on it, so it doesn't, it's not, we're taking it off. Alaska's just not what I think a lot of people would have on their bucket list. Yeah, like cage diving's pretty cool. I really do. I don't want to do that. I would go. We used to hang out with Wild Bill. Do you remember him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:27 From the deadliest catch. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like an actual pirate. You know, he's the coolest. And he told me he would take me to do that in the Bahamas. I mean, I know there's probably places that are better to do it like Australia or wherever. I don't know. Bahamas is pretty cool. But he said you can do it in the Bahamas. And I'm like, I want to do that. But we haven't. Yeah. So I feel like since you can do it so close, it's an attainable.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Is Amsterdam? Or what did we say? What? Where did we say we were, no. Switzerland? Switzerland. Yeah. My bucket list.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Your bucket list is Switzerland? Sure. Bar hopping in Switzerland. Okay. Yeah, there you go. In a snuggy? Whatever. Being more of uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:47:13 All right. The next question is, what I order for the table is blank. If you're out with a group, like, what are you ordering? Margaritas. Buffalo shrimp. I like, see, that's a good answer. Not a bucket of beer. We're sharing shrimps.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Are you sharing your shrimps with me? Get a beer tower. Ooh, beer tower. Shrimp, buffalo shrimp and a bucket of beer. Yeah. Let's see, that's a good answer. There you go. My greatest strength is.
Starting point is 00:47:39 I don't know Loyalty Yours? Yeah, that's a good answer I feel like mine would be loyalty over yours Who's more loyal Who's more weird Who can stare harder
Starting point is 00:47:54 What is mine? Help me My greatest strength Your greatest strength Is helping people nap Your greatest strength is I don't know how you articulate this in more concise way
Starting point is 00:48:15 but her greatest strength is her thoughtfulness. Oh, there you go. Thoughtfulness. Yeah, like her ability to like paying attention. Her ability to acts of kindness and service and gift giving to her friends and family
Starting point is 00:48:35 that she's off the charts. Cool. Yeah, that's a good one. That is good one. Yeah. We'll get along if. We'll get along if. You'd like to talk on loan car.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I was just going to say, if you, damn it, you took that right out of my mouth. We'll get along if you know how to leave me alone. If you can read the room, we're going to be just fine. If we're going to be just fine. Loving this is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Starting point is 00:49:11 I'm sorry? If loving this is wrong, I don't want to be right. Like Linda Ron's dad saying, man, I'm not sure. I feel like Dale's would have to be video games at 50. Like, what? Don't get me like that. Yeah, I'm sorry. Video games for Dale. Yeah, video games.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Amy? I don't know. What do I do that's wrong? Loving taxidermy squirrels? That's a good one. If loving destiny is wrong, I don't want to be right. In my friend's group, I'm the one who does. Lose everything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:50 We need music to play. In my friend's group, I'm probably the more obnoxious. You're the smarty pants of the group. That's a good one. And last one, dating me is like... Dating me is like a roller coaster ride. That's a good. that before. Oh yeah? So it's not, that's not funny. That's annoying. That's one that's used.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Your one-way ticket to paradise. If you saw that on Hinge, would be like, yes, please. Dating me is like, you help. Dating you and being married you are two totally different things. Dating you was quite the adventure. Quite the adventure is the answer. I don't have, and I don't have a rule book. I told him this forever ago. You should have come with a user's manual. I'll just put that down. It's an adventure.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Take that as you will. Take that as you will. What's it? Is that it? We got you guys as a dating profiles now. I feel like we should have asked you all of these questions. No, thank you. And we should actually use them.
Starting point is 00:50:56 No, thank you. I want to see your Hinge profile. Okay. Have you been using it lately? Not really. Dang. Our first conversation was about one of your dates. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:05 And she said, Oh, the Dry January. He was doing dry January, and I'm like, we're going to get rid of her. So you haven't used it in a while? Was that the last one? No. You have to realize that it is. He doesn't like going to ask questions.
Starting point is 00:51:17 He's like slinking down. No, I'll show it to you. I'm dying to see what it looks like. I'm old enough to have been around before dating apps even existed. So is I. Well, and. But you were an adult. And, yeah, like I was old enough to be around when.
Starting point is 00:51:37 They didn't exist, but I was old enough to use them. But then I got in a relationship and didn't need them when they became a thing. So it's so, I remember when they first kind of came out and it was like. Match.com. People were like, it was a joke to do it. Right? It was like. Taboo.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Taboo. And people would clown you using that as the punchline. Well, it was used for older people too. I feel like it wasn't something that the young. crowd was using. Yeah. It was like kind of a sad, like, oh, you have to use Match.com to find people. And now it's like very normal.
Starting point is 00:52:15 And there's different apps for different types of groups of people. Yeah. It is wild. It is wild. So Dale and I, same thing. I never really, never. Yeah. I feel like we miss the cusp of that.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Just like I'm grateful for that and I'm grateful for not having a smartphone when I was in college. Could you imagine being thrown? We've missed all those things that really would have sucked. Could you imagine, like, being thrown back into a single life and having to freaking... I would be single forever. Navigate? I, first of all, if something happens to you, I am going to be an old spinster.
Starting point is 00:52:47 There ain't no f***. I'm going to try to train another man. I am done. I am done, done, done, done, done, done, done. Love you. Don't want anything to have any you. But this is it for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Yeah. But dating, like, that would be impossible. No, it would. I would not welcome that. Yeah. Because I would I would refuse to like adapt to all these new tools I would try to do it the way I used to do it
Starting point is 00:53:14 That would be okay I think there's people out there that still want that Are there? Yes The same people that still want to talk to a bartender to order a drink You know what I mean? It's like a tangible magazine Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:23 You know Yeah They're out there Can't imagine That would be miserable It would It would be really awkward Would you still use your same
Starting point is 00:53:35 game like just stare at people like a bird dog until they came to you would you still do that that's not what i did that's pretty much what you did no i stared at you yeah just staring at you yeah like i wasn't saying nothing talking to my buddies drinking no like when you were by yourself and you didn't have that you know those surroundings i just stared you just stare like across the room yeah no i didn't martin friedrich was in the room once when you did it and he and i we were in the elvis room and you walk in and you just stand in my own home It wasn't finished yet. Nobody was living in it.
Starting point is 00:54:08 We were there for like IT. Nothing was... Oh, we were in a framed out house. What does that have to do with anything? You didn't say anything. You just walk in and you just stare. Like, come hither, woman. Well, we were dating.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Barely. We were talking. It's still your tactic. No, no, no. You make it sound like before we ever became a thing that I would see you places and just stare at you. Like, what the hell? You did it more after we actually had the initial conversation.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Right. But it was still, we were still courting. At that point, I'm allowed to stare at you. No, but it was the only thing you were doing. You would come into the room and instead of saying anything like, hello, how are you? Oh, I'm so glad to see you. Hug. Like the normal things.
Starting point is 00:54:56 No. You just stand across the room and bird dog me. Yes. Until I kind of came over to you. That's right. Yeah. Well, that's after where we've, agreed that there's a thing going on.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Before that, I'm regular, I'm normal. I don't bird dog you at the bar. Like, man, I'll think that girl's hot. We just stare at her. I feel like you do that. No. Yeah, I feel like you might do that.
Starting point is 00:55:25 You're just sabotaging me in case I ever do. Yeah, that's damn right what I'm doing. Dale, if you want to. His hinge thing is going to say might be a bird dog. You're making all the women. Dale, if you had to go on another first. He's a weirdo. He's totally weird.
Starting point is 00:55:37 This is too much. You ladies don't want to have anything to do with this. Amy, do you think if he went on another first date, he would just eat his meal real fast again and just... Yeah. He doesn't slow, he's never slowed down eating. The girls, we have a running joke in the house. Like, if the girls finish something before him, they're like, done before dad! I'm like, well, you did get a head start, but yes, you're done before dad.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah. No, he's not going to slow down. I am. I feel like... He's going to sit on the same side of the beach. booth and share your plate. That's what he's going to do. I do feel like that. Um, being in relationship with me is, is an adventure. It is. We're not bored. I've never been bored. I'm highly entertained. A lot of good, a lot of entertaining, but also a lot of of,
Starting point is 00:56:23 there's been some challenges, but we find. Yeah. Just a lot of unnecessary anxiety and worry and yeah. Yeah. She has to talk me off the ledge a lot. Yes. I overthink everything. He overthinks everything. Yeah. Just about, except for those socks he put on today.
Starting point is 00:56:41 He didn't think about that too long. No. You don't have to think about that. You just open the drawer and find the matching pair. Whatever pops out at your face. Nope. It's a drawer full of socks and you're just like, yep, there's two that match.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Perfect. Wait, so you had a drawer full of socks and you chose those. You may sound like you didn't have many to choose from. I probably had. Travis, hold please. He's got a drawer full of socks that all have patterns on them. So like the nice dress. socks that he would choose
Starting point is 00:57:07 to match his outfit, of course. And then he's got like the sporty socks. All like, and all of his hunting socks and all of like the real... Thick. The industrial socks, you know what I'm saying? So he's got a drawer of those. He's got lots of choices. I have a drawer full of ankle socks, but they're all
Starting point is 00:57:22 loosey goose. Wait, they're not paired up matched? Nope. You're a sociopath. No, that's my fault. I can't stand it. I can't stand it when they're folded inside out and you make a ball out of them. I take them off. I like them flat.
Starting point is 00:57:36 I take them off. Listen, I take my socks off. I ball them up. I fold them to one. I throw them in the hamper. Andy goes, quit doing that. Well, it's a f*** problem because now I have to touch your sweaty, dirty, smelly socks more than I want to you to begin. I don't want them to separate in the hamper because then one gets washed.
Starting point is 00:57:51 The other one doesn't get washed. He'll have to get the next load to get some of the other socks. Then the other ones come up later after the second load. It's so annoying, though. Like, he'll come back from a weekend at the racetrack or something. And these socks are still damp sometimes. And I'm grossed out. But why do I have to undo them?
Starting point is 00:58:07 Sometimes I just throw them in there like that. You get washed and you come out all put together. Then you go back in the girl, all fit together. Dale, you need to not ball them up when you're done with them. Fine. Amy, when you're putting them together, when they're clean, you need to ball them up so they stay together. No, that's not happening. And his nice socks that are long, like I fold them in half.
Starting point is 00:58:25 They're perfectly lined up in the door. My sock drawer is. Until he gets to it. And he's like, my sock drawer is about 160. socks that they don't know where their brother or their pairs at. It's like, hey, man, they're a brother. He might be over there. He's in that corner.
Starting point is 00:58:43 There he is. That's lies. It's organized. Not at all. That's because of you. Okay. I give him all of his socks perfectly, like, paired up and matched. Fold them together.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Good stuff. Who's the sociopath, really? You. I like it tidy. You got to fold the socks. They don't stay. They don't, like, you can't close a drawer sometimes when they get all balled up like that. It's an excessive amount of socks.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Maybe get rid of those white ones. We can just leave those here. We can throw those in the garbage on the way out. I didn't know you couldn't wear white socks with black tennis shoes. You can if you want to get made fun of. Well, all right. Well, that's it for the day. All right. Thank you guys for listening.
