The Dale Jr. Download - Dale's New Hobby Is Amy's New Pet Peeve

Episode Date: March 5, 2026

On this episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt, Dale and Amy dive into the little things in life that somehow turn into big debates. From the phrase “I’m just saying” and whether it softens a comment or just makes it more annoying, to the Drink of the Week presented by High Rock Vodka, sparking a discussion about lychee and herbs in drinks. Amy also recaps a trip to the beach house that turned into a series of funny parenting moments and restaurant adventures with the girls (be for real… who is still putting gum under the table?!). Later, Dale admits he’s been completely consumed by organizing his old trading cards from the late ’80s and early ’90s, proving once again how quickly a hobby can turn into an all-out project. The conversation bounces from kids discovering video games and birthday party chaos to the many spellings of common names and a surprisingly serious debate about how to spell “I’m’ll”… or is it “imol”? A poll may be needed to settle this one. Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

Hi, guys. Dale Jr. and I are in the Dirty Moe Media Studios for another round of bless your heart. And we have a good show for you guys today. We are going to talk about all of our silly life things, you know. It's like, I'm just saying. What's I'm just saying? I don't know. Like, why does anyone say that?

Sometimes. I'm just saying. Some people say, I say it a lot. I'm just saying for, like, they'll bait you with some bullshit. And then they'll say, I'm just saying. I'm like, why are you just saying? What are we just saying this for? Yeah.

What's your point? So you both do that? I definitely do it. You do? Yeah. That doesn't bother you at all when anyone else does it? Do you feel like it's like a, period on your point or like what's the point in saying it?

I feel like it's a soften the blow. Oh, you do. So like if I say, if I tell you, if I state a fact and I feel like that it has caught you or rub you the wrong way or maybe hit you a little bit harder than I expected, I'll go, I'm just saying. Yeah. So like, I feel like if you, it's like a dampening. If you send me a blow and then you go, I'm just saying, I'm like, well,

So you really didn't have a point in all this anyway, and now you got me all pissed off and you're just saying it, just to say it? Like, what's the point? I'm just curious. Yeah. I try to not say that because I know it gets under my skin. But you did that over the weekend. We were talking about something unimportant. And you're like, I'm just saying.

I'm like, oh, I'm just saying. Oh, man, it got crowned your gears. Yeah. Damn. I hate giving them ammo for grinding my gears too. What is it? How am I going? That'll be filed back.

How am I going to use that against? use that as ammo. Like, I'm not smart enough to know how to, like, turn that into working ammo for me. I'm not smart enough. That's a lie. Give me a freaking, give me an example of how I'm going to turn that around and use that in my advantage. No,

but there's going to be a time when, like, when you're, when you want to take me off. When you're in, like, a playful mood, want to mess around and you know, Amy's kind of. That is another thing. I would do that. Like, it's okay to admit it.

That is another thing. When you, Amy says, when you want to tick me off. Yeah. There is never. never a time in the day where I'm wanting to tick you off. I feel like there's absolutely the times that you're willing to tick me off just to get my attention. With a soft blow and a just same.

Not at all. And that's a good way to do it. The only time that I'm ever trying to piss you off is when is a reaction to me getting mad. Like so you'll, you know. So everybody's got to be mad at the same time. I'm being vulnerable admitting this. I never, I never have a light bulb moment go, you know what, I'm going, I'm going to do, I'm going to do this.

And my objective is to piss her off. Of course not. I don't think it's a planned event. I think it's just who you are. But I'm not getting the attention I want. There'll be things she says and I'll go. And I'll, and it'll be like a, you'll say, you'll say, well, I didn't, you'll say something like, well, well, I didn't like that.

And I'll go, well, what do you think I felt, you know, or what, well, I didn't like it either. You know, you'll, you're, you were saying the other day. Yeah, there's always a tip for tat. Yeah, exactly. That's when I got, you know, that's when I'm more than likely going to, I'm like going to minimize or, you know, that's the only time. And I don't know, I'm not actually trying to piss you off, but it does, but it does. does every time. But I'm like, so I remember that. Like we're having a conversation the other day and you were saying, you said something. And I thought to myself, well, I have to put up with that too.

Or yeah, well, I have to deal with that as well. Must have been complaining about the kids. But I absorbed it instead of saying it because it wasn't going to do nothing but make you go, you're not hearing me. You know, I'm going to help my, it wasn't going to help things. But yeah, you stole the moment instead of. Yeah, he's got to flip it around. Sometimes they, girls either they want when they vent they either want to just have you listen or they want you to offer up your opinion. But they usually don't want you to try to steal the moment and put it on like, well, I've deal with it too. I know. That's it. So we've been through enough therapy where we know that we're supposed to preface that and that is just so hard sometimes, especially if you've been together this long.

If you had to do that with every conversation, that would be maddening. If your wife or husband is saying they're busy or complaining about how busy they are or whatever, it isn't a good idea to go, well, let me tell you how. busy I've been. Let me tell you how bad my day was. Well, wait, I got more, I got him busy too. I got as much busy as you have. Yeah. Then nobody's seen and nobody's heard and everybody's pissed off. Yeah. But that is when the I'm just saying comes. Because you'll say, well, I'm busy too. And then immediately I'll go, damn, that was the wrong thing to say. And then y'all say, I'm just saying, like I'm just saying that I'm busy as a whale, right? And you're trying to, I'm just saying is like a dampen. Yeah. Well, the whole, I feel like it's a, it's like a slap.

Really? Kind of. Dang. What's drinking on? What's a drink of the week? Well. I'll read it for us. Our drink of the week provided by high rock vodka is called the cherry, secure a breeze.

What do you think? I mean, it's not bad. So in a shaker, you muddle leachy and mint at high rock, lime juice, cherry juice, and shake well and strain over ice. So it's pretty simple, but I don't think I've ever had leachy before. Yeah, I think it's got a little too much leachy in it. Is it leachy for you? Heavy on a leech. Heavy on it.

Gross. It looks delicious, though. You forgot the one other ingredient, though. I did. Yes. There was a glare, sorry. Top it with Red Bull Spring Edition. Yeah, so Dales doesn't have a garnish, but mine has a little mint on the top.

So you can garnish it with mint if you like it. It's got a funny taste. That drink might be my favorite drink. Oh, it's delicious. Yeah. So there's something in the, there's something that when you drink it, It gets up in your nose. I don't like it.

It gets in your nose. Did you just put your nose in the cook? No. I don't, I mean, I drank it like a normal person. Okay. Well, visit high rock vodka. com to see where you can find. Do you not breathe in?

When you take a drink, do you not inhale through your nose while you're doing it? I don't think so. I feel like I hold my breath. Take a drink. Do you not go. Mm-mm. No.

Do it after. To the post sniff. Every time I take a drink. That makes a lot of sense. No wonder you're burping so much. You're breathing and drinking at the same time. There you go. That's what it is.

We just figured it out. I'm a burp all the time. So, I don't have mint, but I feel like I've got like mint in my nose. Because there is mint muddled. Oh, there's mint and they're re. Don't like that. They tricked him. I do not like it.

He is not a fan of any herb. I don't like herbs. See, what's funny is I don't like mint usually either. I don't like herb. I tried it and I couldn't taste the mat. I don't like herb, okay? It's not very minty to me either. Quit pushing herb on me.

All kinds of herbs. I just feel a lot of pressure. I feel like if you had some more herbs, you might be a little more calm. I feel like you're the pickiest drinker I've met, Dale. Might need to stuff some herbs in his pillow cakes. Maybe it needs to smoke some herbs. Relax it.

You just need to start basking him with the herbs. I don't like it. I don't like it. Yeah, he thinks cilantro tastes like so. Salonter is awful. It's my favorite. He's not wrong there. I love it.

So bad. Why would you add that to anything? God, it's terrible. It tastes delightful to me. care. All the cilantro Facebooks, they can come after me. Salonter. Are there Facebook pages dedicated to cilantro?

More than likely. Oh, my gosh. All right. Well, if you want to try some high rock, visit high rock vodka.com. And don't forget to check out the store locator. You can find out where you have high rock or any shirulins product near you. And then also, you must be 21 years or over. Please drink responsibly.

Red Bull. The Red Bull that you guys have there is a limited edition. Ooh. You want to talk about a rebel? The spring edition, sugar-free. Sure secure. So this is what's in the cocktails. So you can get that sugar-free or regular.

That's yummy. That tastes like a jolly rancher. I just wish it was this and the vodka. That'd be it. All right. So we're at Dunleveys. We went to the beach house to check on the beach house and make sure everything is good to go.

and one of our favorite places to check out on Sullivan's Island in South Carolina, incredible place, is Dunlevees. Yeah. We go there all the time. Dunleavies. I don't know what's right. I don't either. But it's an Irish pub and...

It's usually our first stop. We get a golf cart and it's the first place we go. It's a really great place. I love it because it checks a bunch of boxes. It works with the kids. It works if I got a buddy and I just want to have a beer or if you and I want to go hang out. out. It reminds me a lot of old Key West bars we used to hang out in, so I get a little bit of that that I love. Yeah, there's garb everywhere to look at. They don't rush you. No. And the food

is really good. They have wings. They got a really good Rubin. But there was some, what was the gums? So Nicole's new fun thing to do is to check out the underside of the tables for gum. she's been doing this for a little while, but it's, it's ramped up. So right at Dunlevees, and she's just feeling out underneath. So the other thing that happens at Dunlevees is Dunlevees and Leavis, the pub. The pub is really what we call it. There's these big booths. So they're wooden booths and usually two people are on.

Cash only, just so you know. Yeah, cash only. Two people are on one side and two people are on the other. But halfway through the meal, usually the girls want to switch. I want to sit next to Daddy now. I want to sit next to mom. So they crawl under the table because it's usually faster for them. And then, you know, they get to check out the underside of the side of

the table. And Nicole's get, she gets underneath there and she just hangs out a little too long where I realize either her shoe fell off, which is also disgusting, or she's messing with some gum underneath the table. So I'm like, get out of there. She's like, gosh, there's so many bubblegums underneath here. And there's so many drawings. And I'm like, yeah, apparently somebody took a marker to the underside of the table because your kids are allowed to just hang out and play, you know. She has never actually put one in her mouth, but she has pulled some off before. But I just want to know Who's still doing that

Like who's still putting gum Because it's fresh enough Where it's soft enough That she can pull it off Who's still doing that? It's pretty gross It's like my mom rant That's not a mom rant though

That's disgusting That's Like I don't want my need to touch that either When I'm crossing my legs, you know? Also like sometimes you're like You're kind of shiming under Like across the booth And you're putting your hands under the table

And you're not touch it Like Yes That's a major ick That's just like a respect thing Yeah. There's paper towels right there on the table. There are.

There's no excuse. There's absolutely no excuse. We went to the Mexican food restaurant down the street too the next day and there was more gum underneath that one. And that was a bar height table. So she just had to walk right underneath that one to check it out. She did that before she crawled up into the booth. She's like, Mom, this one's got it too. I'm like, oh, it's a plague.

Nicole, get up in your seat. Oh, no. Yeah. Did you ever do that in school? I did not. I wasn't, I didn't chew. I didn't like. I chewed plenty of gum, but I don't remember.

I didn't stick it under the... I swallowed plenty of it. I wasn't going to stick. I swallowed a lot of gum, too. I hate to admit that. Were you allowed to have gum in school? Did you ever... I guess we were because there was gum stuck underneath it.

Or maybe you weren't. And that's why I got stuck. I don't remember. We weren't allowed. Thanks. The parents told you about swallowing gum, how he's going to blow bubbles out your ass or is going to clog up your pipes. It's going to clog up your pipes. If my parents told me it was going to make me blow bubbles out of my butt, I would have been far more inclined to swallow it.

They did say it was going to stay in your belly What is that? Oh my gosh, special delivery. My goodness. You better like it. You know. And I say he's... I got a conference call after this.

Do you? Yes. Is it with Red Bull? Because it should be. No. It's with Panini. Card company. Oh, really?

Oh, my God. The cards. Man alive. I predicted correctly, Travis. We had this talk. This dude, I saw that y'all talked about it already, so I'll go light. But we got home from the beach on Sunday at 2 o'clock. I haven't seen him since.

I haven't seen his ass since. He has been upstairs in the library, cataloging, scanning, pricing. It's like he's not even existing in our lives this week. So, yeah. Well. Last night he had him all over the kitchen counter, and I looked at it. I was like, are you about done? Yeah.

He goes, what? I was like, are you about done with that? It's the only thing you've done all week. Yeah. I was so annoyed. Yeah, I got excited about the cards, collecting cards. I used to collect them when I was little, and I have a bunch of cards that I've just stored away.

I haven't looked at them in 30 years. And I didn't think they were worth crap, but there's a bunch of, like, Kyle Ripkins and King Griffey Jr.'s And Frank Thomas and Bo Jackson's. And I'm like, I don't remember having all of this, but I'm going through there. I'm like, damn, this is a $50 car. This is a $100 card.

This is a $200 card. This is a... I thought for sure he had bought all these boxes. There are so many more boxes, and he claimed that he had collected to begin with. Like, you really didn't remember, apparently. I didn't even know that. I thought you had just bought all this.

I had... So I had two closets full, and I only thought I had one little closet, and I found some more, because I was missing some. And I was like, I know I got some stuff. I had stuff down, stairs that I had stored away.

but so I'm learning like these things have been I opened the packs and I collected from 88 to 91 I opened all the packs the day I bought them and put them away and haven't touched them and these cards are in perfect condition and so they're all worth they're all worth thousands of dollars and so in total right and so I bet you there's yeah there's some good cards so you haven't been upstairs ripping packs as you're saying no you're not buying through my old stuff. You haven't bought any new ones? A little, but not much.

I bought two boxes and that's it. But, and there, I mean, those is about 100 cards. Well, the way you've been talking to about ripping packs, I thought if he had bought all these and he's sitting up there doing this by himself, how sad is that? We've reached a new level. If you're going to be ripping packs, let me know, I'll come over. See?

That's what I was thinking, too. Like, aren't you supposed to do this with someone else? Yeah. I don't want to give it away until I get, buy in from Panini, but I'm going to present Panini with an idea today about a very, very limited edition card. It's truly a home run. It is absolutely a home run, no pun intended. Like actually, honestly, when he told me, Grand Slam, like, legitimately I'm like, okay, this is something you should pursue. So I'm, this is, are you going to share it right now?

Well, no. So I'm, I never get to know. Well, I'll tell you after, I don't want to tell it, because if it don't happen. Oh. But, well, see, this is if you. really want it to happen. This is how you play this. I know, but I think it's best to have a conference. I hear you. I'm just a message. So this is, this is my, this is a flaw. Massive flaw in me, okay? I am a, I have a very addictive personality.

And when I like something, I do, I want to do it every minute of that day. And so as soon as I like getting to doing something or starting to mess with something, collecting or, and I, if it's collect, if it involves collecting, if it involves organizing or itemizing, I like the, for some reason I get the dopamine from, from like organizing things and putting things in order. Yep.

And so, um, so like, collecting the cards or just going through my cards, I'll open up on my iPad. There's a website and it'll say here are the top 20 cards that are the most valuable ones out of this year set. And so I'll go, okay, there's the 20 cards. Let's go through. There's one. There's one. And then when I'm done, I put them all in this nice little plastic sleeve so they're better protected so they'll last another 30 years. And then you kind of rank, do you file them in the ranking? I put them in a nice metal box. And so...

What do you do with the rest of them? They go back in the car. They go back in the little white sleeves and go put it back in the closet because they're worth a quarter apiece. And so I get addicted to that and I want to do that. Like it drives, it's driving, like it's at the forefront of my brain even when there's other things I need to be doing that I know I've got to do. That's like, oh, okay, I'll do that, but I'll get back to cards.

And I'll do that and I'll get back to cards. And I'll do that and I'll do that and get back to cards. And so I'll, I'll, I'll, Manic. Yeah, I'll go through this whole huge arc of obsession over something. And it crescendos into a final project. And I think that's what this card idea is. So I went in just a couple of days from, like, man, I want to kind of get back into collecting.

Yeah, okay. I remember what that was like. That was fun. I'm good. to, I want to make a card. You know, I bring those card sleeves home and I sign them from Benini, right? Yeah. I lay them out on a table or sign them.

And I've done that for years and never thought nothing about them. This is, you know, never looked at them and went, what's the difference between this card and this one? This one's blue. This one's green. This one's red. But it's all, you know, I've never really tried to, it's all sitting right there in front of me, but I don't really. It's never just made the light bulb go off. Yeah.

Well, in the just simple couple of days. days I've been messing with this, I came up with the idea to actually create what I believe will be the most sought after card in racing ever. He's, okay. He's not wrong. I believe you, especially if Travis is behind it. Like I'm, y'all, you know, I can't wait to hear. While yes, it has been, it has been annoying that I've been. It's been a long week. Yeah, I've been single mom and. Yeah. It's been annoying because I've been sitting in the library all day. you've got too many spaces to hide too yeah it's gonna come up

it's gonna if this plan works it's gonna be worth it I can't wait can't wait to hear what it is you and your plans yeah and I'm yeah but it gets all kinds of things started like I was I called Steve Myers today we're working on the next console game for NASCAR

and I called him today and I was like man there's got to be a way where we can where Panini or the card company and the console maker eye racing there could be a way for the two to play together in the game to produce an opportunity for a specific card for the user or vice, you know, something.

There's got to be, it just makes things, you know. All about connecting people, huh? Yeah. Yeah. So stuff comes out of this. I know I'm just sitting up there looking at cards.

You can justify anything. I'm excited to see what the card is. He's just saying. He's just saying. He's just saying. That's it. I'm just saying. Dampening.

It's the dampener. Like, don't build me up to dampen me down. I just don't understand it. So we have a best friend named Sean, and we have another friend, you know, I'll remember my old buddy Sean Brawley. We have another friend that is named Sean as well. All right, and so...

We've been talking to both. We've been talking to both for the past couple of weeks. And it has me wondering, could the shones all get together and just decide on one spelling? Because we have Sean S-H-A-W-N and then Sean S-E-A-N. I really think the S-E-A-N's just go to the S-H-A-W-N. I totally disagree. I feel like...

Seen? S-E-A-N is like... I told her. He's like, why? I'm like, what S-E-A-N's more sophisticated? He was also, you can't get mad at the Shons. It was their mom's fault to begin with. Yeah.

But like, Sean S-S-E-A-N is. from Canada. So his spelling is probably different for that reason. There's a can't. But I would look at that and say Sean. There's a Canada, Sean. I look at S-H-A-W-N from North Carolina, and I don't say Sean. I'm like, Sean.

Sean. That's Sean. His nickname is Shawnee. You know what I mean? Yeah, well, yeah. So I feel like there's so many name spellings that are different. Like he even said the Amies. He's like the A-M-I-E's.

Ew, we don't like them. Well, that was. They got to go. He went real hard trying to steal me. I don't know. I'll piss them off. I don't want the I-Ease from Facebook to come after me. What about the Jeffs?

The GEO-FF. Hey. So I think it would be. Jeff. Yeah. I think it would be hilarious if all the Sean's met in a big Sean Expo and decided that they're all going to adopt the same spelling. We need a ticker.

We need the whole thing. All right. From this day forward, we have decided that we're all spelling our names the same. And Amy's like, well, you know, the Sean, the S-E-A-N, that's like the more sophisticated Sean. And I was like, oh, man. We talk about the dumbest shit.

I know. And I was like, oh, man, don't you, don't that annoy you, like, when somebody has a, has a regular name and then you meet somebody who has like the extra, extra spelling on the, you know, they like twist the spelling a little bit. A-M-E-E or A-M-I-E. Like their mom and dad were like, yeah, I'm going to do that. but make it cuter. Yeah.

Greg with two Gs at the end? What are we doing? Yeah. You're just asking, we're just asking for the teacher to misspell it. We're just being assholes. We were. We're just sitting there having lunch being assholes.

Being assholes. Yeah. So our kids get it. God, it was a funny conversation. It was funny because it came with a sound effect. Yeah. I think about all the names now. John.

Can we make a decision there? Yeah. What's that? John. John. Yeah, like John should be J-O-H-N, but then you have the J-O-Ns out there. Yeah. Wandering around.

Which one needs to go. Thinking there's something special. Like, I'm John, but I'm different. I'm John, but better. The H-N's need to go. The H-N-Z-E-O-H-E-O-F-F. Well, it's biblical. You can't screw with it. John is John is John.

Oh, that's true. Yeah. It's funny. You brought up the Jeff thing. My dad's name is Jeff, but he's J-E-F-F. Okay, so he's good. Jeffrey, yes. What's the, how do you spell?

G E O'F, which is like the German spelling. Yes. They got to get the, they got to get the fuck out of here. That's the perfect analogy because I always was like, yeah, that makes, that's why Jeff Bodein's the way he is because he's the G. Yeah, he's got a, E-O-F-F, like the old, you know. Oh my God. Like who spells Jeff like that, right? G-O-F.

No wonder the guy drives the way he drives. I want to get out of here right now. I want to slither out of my chair and turn to the floor. Jeff Bodine is going to be our, DJD Classic next week. I really like him. I'm just kidding. The Bodines and Earnhardt's have always had a fun

little rivalry and it just must continue. Well, it's gonna... He's not wrong. I felt that way in the 80s. I'm like, he spells his name weird and he drives weird.

Well, Kelly always resented that she had a... with an E in the back of her name. She said she never got a keychain. Every time she went to like a carnival or a theme park or whatever they had those junk stores, she's like, I always perused the key chains

and they never had ornaments or keychains. or anything with her name on it. She was always annoyed by that. Imagine being a Dale. There ain't no damn Dale key chains out there. I can barely try to us. There probably aren't any Ralphs. I didn't want to be Ralph.

Like Ralph was, like you were opening yourself up for all kinds of ridicule if your friends found out your first name was Ralph. Yeah, I hear you. You want to know what? I did that all through high school. Do you want to know what my dad wanted to name me? What?

Bernie. Bernie? After Bernie Cozar. No shit. I kind of like that. Yeah. And luckily my mom thought. it.

They thought I was going to be a boy. My name was Travis. They had picked out Travis for me. It's a great name. And here I am and being an Amy. Bernie. Bernie. That'd be a tough one.

That's a great, like, I would have understood why I got bullied. If my name was Bernie, I would have understood, like, people bullying me. Like, I would have bullied myself. Bernie? Like, who wants that name? Yeah. It's cute when you're a little, but there's a phase in the middle.

Yeah. From like 10 to 55. Funny names like that, Ralph and Bernie. I don't know. I would have. If dad hadn't have been who he was, Dale would have been a pretty underwhelming name to have to go through life with.

Did you get called junior in school all the time? No, no. It was always Dale Jr. Dale, probably. But Dale was very unspectacular. There are not many great Dales out there. And, you know, if it weren't for dad, you know, it'd be pretty underwhelming. Did you ever get called D.J.?

You know what a Dale is with the farmer in the Dail? It's a body of water and like a pond. It's something. Some kind of a valley or some... It's not even anything cool. Like a pond. Didn't know that.

Or a pond. Okay. It's still very underwhelming. It's a creek. What did you just ask? For the intimidator who made it cool. Just saying. I don't really have a revoltle for that.

Yeah. You don't know something else? Stupid Nicole did this last weekend? Oh, of course. So the reason we went down besides just checking on the house was our neighbors were having a birthday party for their six-year-old.

So there were like 30 little girls in their backyard, and they had a little small party, and it was very fun. And Ila decided she wanted to go home about halfway through because she was the oldest kid there. Which was so weird. It is. I've never seen her act like that. And at first I was really disappointed at it. I'm like, why do you want to leave? That's so rude.

I'm like, we haven't done cake or whatever yet. And she's like, I don't know anybody, but there's no any, there's not any other girls my age. She's like, can you just walk me back across the street? Hey. So I did. Wait, what? Yeah. So Amy texts me.

she says, I don't want to come home. I was like, why? She's like, she doesn't, I'm having fun. They're all kids,

younger kids here. So you, we met in the street and I walk her back to the house and we're walking back into the house. We're going up the stairs. And I was like, so you wanted to come home,

you know? And she's like, yeah, I was the oldest one there. It was no one wanted to play with me. And she started to cry. She was about, yes.

She was hurt. She was sad. Yeah. And I was like, honey, it's all right. It's, you know.

Well, as the oldest one there, you can't be sad that the little ones are not coming up to you. She started saying it and I looked on her face and I saw that look on her face like she was huckering up. And I was like, honey, you're growing up. You're getting older. That's going to happen. That's going to be the way things are. That's not a bad thing.

You know, she was quick, she was quickly out of it. But she wasn't. I thought for sure besides just being the oldest one. She wasn't like nose in the air. This party. Well, I thought she just wanted to come back and play on her switch. She's like, dad's upstairs watching the race. that means I play on my video games.

If I really want to go home, then I want to go hang out with my dad because I get to play with my video game. Which, hey. Yeah. So she's reading the room pretty well, is what I'm saying. I like the switch.

She plays Princess Peach. Yeah, she plays games. It's not as bad as iPad. She can't, like, she... Nicole has a... It's contained to just the game. They have the old switch. They don't even got the new one yet.

But Nicole has... So Ila plays Princess Peach and just plays a crap out of this thing, right? And I love it because it reminds me of when I was a little kid and I had my original Nintendo and I was just running through this game. Nicole, I give her a switch and she gets the, I want the same game. Okay. Same game. Here, dad, do it. She just, and she flings it over like this too. I'm like, no, don't drop that thing. I'm like, no, I'm not doing it. You, it's a game. You play. You figure it out. I can't do it. I

can't figure it out. All right. I run through the first phase. She's watching. I, I'm like, all right, you see what we're doing here? You hopping, you're jumping, you're doing this. Okay, now. There's too many buttons for her to figure out. One, two minutes goes by. Here it comes back. Dad, do it.

Get me through this part. And I'm like, no. Like, you've got to, this is the fun part of the game. It's like trying to learn and figure it out. But like, she's just too young. I know. Yes, she is too young. We got Ila Switch when she was five too and we ended up putting it away

because she was just too young. She did the same thing. She would want you to help her play the whole game. We're like, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want to do this. I know a lot of people are sitting here going video games, really? Yeah. You know, we're going to be a video,

we'll be gamers. A little bit. I can't wait until I'm playing. We let them play video games a little bit. But then we kick them outside. Yeah. It's very limited. It's balanced.

It's a good balance. Anybody that says like, oh, I don't let my kids on a device. Like, there's, you're lying. You're going to. You are. And we grew up playing, we would spend hours in front of the TV playing in the Nintendo on a Saturday.

I mean, hours. Oh, yeah. Trying to master those games. You know, I think there's absolutely a good balance, but I remember, I'll never forget this. When I wanted to buy a computer, I was, I think I was 15. I didn't have credit yet, and Kelly had to, Kelly put it on her credit. And it was a $500 computer for Best Buy, and she financed it for $100 a month,

and I was going to pay her the $100 or whatever. And we were talking about this excited. I couldn't believe it. I was going to get a computer. What the hell? You know, no one had. computers in their houses in 1994, you know, and so, I don't know, man, I must have been, this must have been earlier than that. But, um, so it was early 90s.

Box screen kind of thing. It was early 90s. But I was so excited. And dad heard us talking about it. And he's like, and then I bought it and we got it and I'm over there messing with it. And I got racing, Bill A's NASCAR Challenge, because I was playing the Bill Elliott's NASCAR challenge on a floppy disk in drafting class. Like I would stay after school and go back into drafting class and with a DOS floppy disk. And he let you do that? Yeah. And I'd play.

And Mr. Nail was our drafting teacher. But cool last name for a drafting teacher. It is. Very on point. But he should have been the carpenter teacher, I guess. But anyways, I was into the and I'm like, I need this at home. You know, I don't want to stay after school and play for an hour until he run me off.

So dad sees that. that I'm sitting over there doing this and he says, you're wasting your time with them computers? And I'm like, what? Like, how could you not be like, you know? My son's on this box that I have no understanding of and he's like doing,

but he was like, you're wasting your time with them computers. That's a waste of time. And I'm like, man, I would tell if he was sitting right here, he's laughing now. I'd be like, what did you look at me now, dad? You didn't know.

You would not tell him that, but that's a good notion. Yeah. And so when we, when I, so I like to see Ila, you know, we have iPads and they play their iPads and they have games. And we absolutely, I am a, I am, I am a absolute observer. I have all the settings and I've got the apps to follow everything they're doing. Like they are not doing anything on there that I don't know about. And it's always in our presence. But I like it because everything they're going to do the rest of their life is going to be on a screen, on a tablet.

It's going to be. Yeah, it doesn't take them two seconds to learn it. I just like to switch over the iPad because those games in particular, they are challenging and they're frustrating and you have to keep trying. So it's teaching them some type of problem solving and the coping mechanism with getting frustrated and having to work through it versus the iPad. It's like go to the next app or whatever. or they will come to you, want you to buy tokens or buy something for them to just advance and we're like absolutely not happening.

Yeah, that is the one paying you ass. Because it, I will buy them video games all day long. I don't have a problem like you want a new game. No problem. You want a new game. I mean, I don't, I don't, that's not a problem. The freaking apps. They'll, you know, I'll get them,

we'll get them this like spelling app or accounting app or it's a school app, you know, when there's or there Nicole's got an app where she loves to do this or she's just matching flipping things over matching them right what do you call that?

I don't know puzzles like a puzzle yeah and so she's playing that thing she wants me to play with her and all that stuff but it shows them ads and they're like I want that

I want that yeah between every level they do they've got to watch these ads and I'm like no they bring the thing over can we I'm like no no no no no no no have you tried

this is a scam Have you tried putting on airplane mode? They are on airplane mode. Okay, because a lot of apps, when you're playing games, if you put on airplane mode, you don't get the ads. Really?

Yeah. Interesting. Well, so they don't have service. If they're on airplane, we have to have them to the Wi-Fi anyway. So I think, I don't know we can figure that out.

Yeah, they're not like connected to the internet or anything. They don't have a phone number. Yeah. But it's just, yeah, the iPads are tough because they, they're always bringing it over.

They're always selling you something. Yeah. Can we get this? Can we get that? I think that part of the reason and she wanted to leave the party that day, was just to play her game. But back to the Nicole thing. So we stay.

There's a whole other hour for the party. Back to the original story. We're at the birthday party. And there's a bunch of little girls running around. Nicole's having the time of her life. They have a fashion show. So they're like walking down this runway and these little princess dresses. And so having the time of her life.

Cake time's happening. I can tell Nicole's getting a little tired. And the cake is being sliced. All the girls are like slamming around each other, getting real close. And so I pick Nicole up just so that she's not. going to get pummeled because some of the other girls are a little taller than her. And she's like, Mom, I want some cake. And it's like, I know. I just, I'll get the cake for you. I don't want you to get stuffed on. So I grab a cake. I squat down. She doesn't like icing.

So I'm trying to scrape the icing off with the spoon. She also has her hand on the spoon. She's not letting go. I'm like, I'm just going to scrape this icing off and move it over here so you can eat the cake. And she just looks straight at me. And she goes, I'm going to punch you in the nose. It was so shocking. that I, like, didn't really know if I heard her right, but I just like, let me have the cake. And I picked up the cake and I went and threw it away. And she and I, Irish, goodbye, out of the back side of the house. I was like, you aren't getting any cake.

And then she just cried, wailing, crying the whole way home all the way across the street. I was like, Dale, you're never going to believe what this kid just said to me. And I didn't even know what to do. I ended up and her bested out laughing, which I don't think was the right reaction. I texted him because I knew he was going to do that. You came into the bar. Right, but she was already in timeout. Like, I'd already put her in the bed, and I was like, don't want you come out of here until I come and find you.

So she took a nap. But, yeah, Dale, of course, laughs at all of those things. And it was pretty funny, but I just had no context. We weren't fighting over anything. I was helping her eat something. I didn't really feel like she needed to begin with. And then, you know, her. We're in the house, but yesterday, and she said, or two days ago, and she said, she said something very similar.

And you were like, where did you hear that? Yeah, she said, there was a show she was watching that. learned it from. Yeah. And I was like, is that also where you learned? I'm going to punch you in the nose. And she goes, it was Reckett Ralph. Yeah.

She said she was going to slam somebody or kick you in the face. Punch you in the nose face or something. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I asked her about the nose thing. She said she made that one up on her own. But Reckett Ralph planted the seed for one, I guess, one of the phrases. And then she just decided she was just going to roll with that.

Yeah. But I, and this yesterday or two days ago, the last couple days have been a blur with the card stuff. I've been doing. You didn't have to add that. Bless your heart, Ralph. I'm just saying. So, yes, a couple days ago, me and Ila are horse playing, and Ila likes to try to, like,

swing and gymnastics kick me in the butt. Like, that's her thing. Yeah. And she says, I'm going to kick you in the ass. That's what she said. So I wasn't in the room, but I heard she said a cuss word, and nobody would repeat it. So I didn't know what she said. she said oh my god not isla too we're doing something wrong Dale he's learning this for the first

time and i said ila i go ila do you know that's a bad word she goes yeah i'm sorry i'm sorry i said she goes it just came out it just came out i said where did you hear that she goes from you and i was like yep valid oh man no one or nobody would tell me what was said and i told her i don't think we were but you didn't seem like you wanted to know you were kind of I'm like, I... Well, because you seem like you had it handled and I didn't want to make it a bigger deal. But I asked her later what it was.

She said and she's like, nothing, don't worry about it. I was like, Ila, that's one of those words you can't say again until you're older. So just going to put it away. So she's like, all right. But what are you going to do? Well, Nicole, same day, ask April, when they were getting ready for ballet, she goes, can I say what the hell? Yes.

Yeah. What was going on in the living room that day? I don't know. we're in trouble. Yeah. Not nearly as bad. But I asked my friend, his three-year-old, I said, Jackson, you're going to be good tonight? And he goes, do you want a beer? Really?

And then walks out and goes like. And he served you one? Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. You can get him out of the fridge. That's pretty nice. I feel like so when me and Amy decided we're going to have kids and we, you know,

went through probably the first three or four years super strict with ourselves about our language. Yes. And I feel like in the past. real work. It did. I think in the past two years, I don't know about Amy, but I've gotten tired. Gotten loose about it. You know, and there'll be, I'm in a conversation with somebody on the phone in the truck

and they might say something accidentally not knowing I'm on the phone, you know, not knowing. His whole family's in the car. Or I'll say something accidentally. And I'll hang the phone up and I'll say, Ila, did you hear a bad word? And she might say, no. I'm like, all right, because there was a bad word in a song the other day that me and Amy were listened to. And I said, hey, Ila, did you hear a bad word? She goes, no.

It's a Taylor Swift song. She likes to listen to on her own iPod. She sings alone, but she doesn't know there's a bad word in there. But sometimes I ask her, I say, and she'll say yes. Yes, I heard a bad word. I'm like, okay. But you know, you ain't supposed to say, you know, we just have a little conversation. I don't know if it's what it amounts to.

She needs to know that it's bad, at least. And if she wants to get herself in trouble by using it, then that's her true. choice. I feel like they innately know bad words or bad words. I always felt

like I did too. Yeah. Like I would hear a bad word, a cuss word when I was a kid and I didn't know immediately that

that was a cuss word and I was never say it. You know what I mean? It was like it sounds too sharp. That sounds like it's rough. Like the F word

that was like super taboo we don't say that right when I was a kid kid. I remember my dad cussing too much he said quite a bit or damn.

We heard F all the time from dad and his friends. Really? Yeah. Yes, like Rusty Wallace says the F word every three words. That's how you used to be. Yes. Dad used to say, what the buck.

Really? Yes. Son of a buck. That's why he used to say, son of a buck. Well, yeah, but nobody says son of a f***. I know it was for a son of a bitch, you know. Oh. Oh.

But he didn't say any of that stuff around the son of a book, and he would say it was such a reflection. I don't say the B word because I feel like women don't like it. You're in a house of a bitch. You better not. It'd be bad for you. Yeah. I wouldn't even say it.

not referencing a woman. It doesn't matter. All of us would go, excuse me? Like, damn, that's a B. I don't even say it like in general. Yeah. Because it's, I feel like women would, women, when a woman hears it, do they go,

what? What? Does it hit you wrong, even when it's used out of context? Like, something being, like, damn, that was a B. Is it? If you and I are talking to each other, no.

What's the equivalent, the male equivalent to the B word? To the B word? Oh. Man, my granny is. going to kill my ass. Why are you trying to bait me? You're tearing me up for trouble.

You women don't use it. We do it when we're talking about you behind your back. Really? I'm like in the pantry, just going to, oh, she's just saying. In the pantry. Wherever I'm hiding. Do you ever mow? Yes, I do.

Yes, I do. Of course I do. Of course I do. And of course you do. I mean, I ain't got to lie through my teeth and say no. Of course I do. It's better than doing it to your face. You and I would be like, oh, really?

Yeah. And there would be like the clash of the Titans just one up in each other. You have had some fun with our ring camera at the beach house lately? What? Is that memory filed away too? Yeah. What do I do? You were telling us the other day how the technology with the ring cameras has gotten so detailed.

Like, not only does it alert you that there's someone around, but it goes into very, very good description on what they're doing, where they are, what they might even be wearing. Well, wait. This is the thing. So, okay, I remember now. So I'm in, sorry, don't be coming after's Facebook ring camera people that don't like ring cameras. And ring, we're kind of intrigued by this. People are like, oh, man, you know, you better turn all these settings off. They're doing stuff.

I don't care. Hell with it. I look for the setting. I couldn't find it. I'm just messing. A person is walking on the paved area with a leaf blower. Yeah, so I get the ring camera and we have them at this, at the, at our vacation house. And, you know, I'm, I'm, they're cool.

I'm liking them. You know, the only thing, only bad problem is, is mine are wireless. And so I got to keep the batteries charging them. But, you know. So we're not there. We can't peek in. Yeah, you can. Well, if you let them die.

But if the batteries die, but they usually don't. They last quite a while. All right. For a year, if it saw a person, it would just say person. You know, I saw a person. It would just say basically a person walking. Camera two. Camera two.

A person walking. Car. You know, it was very basic and vague. Then the other day, it said, guy in red shirt walking by with a leaf blower. And I was like, What? What the fuck as this?

Like, this alert so descriptive. It looked like a personal text message came through. I was like, what the hell ring camera? I started like looking and then it started. And so the landscapers were at my property. And so for the next 30 minutes, I got all kinds of very descriptive things for my ring camera. I'm like, where did this update come?

Like they've updated the software. And which I'm thankful, it's like I've got this basic. You're looking near the edge of the pool. They made this camera. Yeah. Man walking on the edge of the pool, you know, on the south side of the pool, you know, by the umbrella. I don't know. You know, it was just very descriptive.

Yeah. It's nice to have when you're not there, too. It is nice to have. I just thought it was hilarious. They didn't tell me, hey, man, just be on the look at your descriptions are going to get more, you know. Descriptive. Descriptive. A little heads up would have been good.

But. I feel like it was more fun the way it was a surprise. Yeah. It was startling. Yeah. The detailed they're getting. So that's what people are saying, too, with the updates, I guess, is, you know, the AI that's in the program. Yeah, there was some.

It's really analytically looking at all the things, including you. I heard some kind of rumors about, you know, there's some setting that helps them find lost dogs, but it. Help some fine lost dogs? Yeah, that's what they advertise, but then people realize that, like, it's being supposedly used for. Are dogs code for something else? No, no, no. like their Super Bowl commercial is like Oh

Ring cameras will help you find your lost dogs and then people realize that like supposedly the ring cameras or the other companies are how they're using the cameras to store footage or something like that I don't That's crazy. People learned well if you're able to go that far back How are they I guess what they're wondering or genuine concern is they're taking all of the footage that I have access to

and they're compiling it stockpies somewhere on a server Yeah. You know? That's a little scary. But, I mean, my ring cameras are pointed out in the world. I'm not watching. That's not true. The one I was pointing at the pool.

So, like, there is no skinny dipping or anything like that. We don't skinny dip. Well, sometimes we can have the kids come back from the beach and they're all sandy and there's a thing happening there that nobody needs to not sit. I mean, there ain't nothing going on that we wouldn't go like, I don't get a Well, now I won't be doing that. That's for sure. All right.

Well, I can take that one down. But I can take it down. Most of them are just pointed out at the world. So if somebody does something silly out in the front of my house, then that's all them. But yeah. We were entertained. I thought it was hilarious. I was like, damn, that was very descriptive.

Thank you, green camera. Speaking of descriptive, we have a visitor. I think we have a debate to settle. Sorry? Does the visitor know about this? It's an I'm old debate. All right. Do you know about this?

I do know about this. So we have a t-shirt with shop. Dirtymo Media. dot com. And it's a, it's a quote of Dales. He has made up this word, or he says a word constantly,

I'm all run to the racetrop. I'm all get myself something to eat. I'm all. So I have always teased him that like that's not actually a word. It's almost like three words compiled into one. And so he and I have like, I know where we'll text each other about I'm all. And I just write out I am O.L.

Well, the t-shirt that Dalton has created for us says, I apostrophe M, apostrophe, LL. That's right. There's two apostrophes and one word. It's, it's, it is a made up word. Yes. So we have to have a debate and we're going to do a poll for what we feel like the proper spelling of this word. That's right. What's the poll choices? It's going to be my way and your way. Our, yes. Two options. Two options. Okay. All right. So I'm going to start us off. I think we can all agree that this word definitely starts with I'm, the word I'm all, right? And,

the word means I'm going to. Yeah. Right? I'm going to. Yes. Okay. So we're all on the same page. Well, I'm going to means I will. You know a fucking slideshow? I did. I've, listen. He thinks I'm going to is equal to. I will. Right? It's the same thing, right? Sure. I'm going to take out the trash. I will take out the trash. Yeah. Gotcha. No, because that's, the tense is not always the same. Yeah, there's some past and future and, you know, all that kind of. There's some subject. There's some subjugates and concepts.

So say subject is to me. I'm just saying words at this point. All right. So I will, we know, turns into all. Right. Okay. So then we have, we're going to replace I'm going to with I'm will. But that doesn't make any sense.

I'm will. I'm will. I'm will. Well, you got two eyes. You can't have two eyes and say there's only one eye. It's me. Yeah. Amel.

Was this really your process? I think, yes. And about this much time. And then I was like, how did I come up with this? And this is where I got to. You just wanted to have two apostrophes in one word. I wanted to create a new word that had never been created before.

Yeah. So he's here to be an adventure. So option A is, I-apostrophe M-apostrophe L-L. Yeah. Ommel. I mean, I'm cool with creating the only word in the English history that has two apostrophies in it. That's good.

That's pretty cool. All right. Okay. So my argument is. that it stands for I'm going to, which is the same as Dalton's.

But in context of the way that it sounds and for conciseness, especially texting it, we have always spelled it I am O L. I'm all. Because that's what it sounds

like Dale's saying. I'm a shorthand. I have asked Dale, truly ask him when he says the word. I'm like, what is that actually? What do you think you're saying? What does that mean? And he goes,

I'm a, I'm old, I'm going to. I'm like, so I am going. to. He's like, I don't know. It's like a short, short circuit. Yeah. That's how we ended up with the word. Yeah. So like I am O L is how we have always texted. I am O L. Yeah. It just looks like a, like a government organization like, you know, that's designed to take out like yard pests. Like I'm all. It sounds like a, it sounds like a name for a very boring company. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty firm. I think it's. I apostrophe M. POSP. L. L. Are we going to put this up to a vote?

I think it has to. I think we have to put it to a vote. When are we doing that today? I think, yeah, we're going to do it today. Elijah's going to put it out there. Abigail's going to put it out there. Now, everybody, don't vote for I-M-O-L just because me and Amy believe that to be the proper way. Let's have a very balanced fair voting.

I appreciate what you're doing. Especially for the effort with his slideshow and all of his work. put into this. Yeah. So there will be a t-shirt. The t-shirt is already created that says I, a fosterry,

am a foster-ll-L. Yeah. But we are wanting him to change it back. Dale, I think, has the shirt. Oh. Oh, you do have the shirt.

Hold the janky shirt up. This one's the bad, this one's the not-so-correct spelling. I'm old drinks a bit. That looks great to me. Look at that. It does square up nicely with beer. It is.

Imagine I-M-O-L. But I-M-O-L is the same amount of letters as beer. Isn't that the wizard from the smurfs? I feel like we could redo the graphics. just fine. My argument to all of this would be if me and Amy hadn't have had the conversation years ago about the spelling, I'd be on board with whatever spelling anybody wanted to come up.

We two, three years ago, decided, in our mind, I-M-O-L with how... Okay, so I see, yeah, I'm stealing a little bit of a memory from you. Amy picked up on the fact that I was doing it, and then she decided how it would be spelled, and I'm like, all right. I did it to tease him. Right. Like, you know, it was always a poke. You know, what's funny is the more time I've spent around Dale, I say it.

You see it? Oh, you do? I say it all the time. Like, I'll be like, yeah, I'm going to go down to the store and whatever. I'm like, where did that? Like, I, it comes out. Maybe you were saying it all along. Maybe. Maybe he didn't even realize he was saying it until I pointed it out.

Maybe I just notice it more now. Yeah. Maybe a lot of people say it. It's crazy. Maybe this poll will go very easy decision. My opinion is it should be a freaking word. My goal is to get it in the dictionary. I want to get it in like the Webster's dictionary.

My goal, too. Let's do it. Oh, my gosh. Who's going to share the glory in this? We will. What if you win? What if he wins? And it's your word.

That would suck. I know. Well, we'll let the people vote. Let the people vote. All right. This is fun. I'm going to get out of here. All right.

Let's do some ass game. I'm going to get out of here. Mike drop. I heard that. Dalton. Hi, guys. Dale and I are in the Dirtyymoe Media Studios for another round of Bless Your Heart. And we're excited for your questions today.

What do you have, Travis? So our first question comes from. Carla and she said that my daughter wants to start wearing makeup and I'm not sure how to handle this. How much like when did you like start letting the girls put on a little makeup or whatever? Oh man. How old's the daughter? Her daughter?

Seven. Seven. So I mean, we gave Ila a makeup desk when she was what, four? Three? They had, I mean, they were getting into their friends makeup. They were getting little fun toy kits from their grandparents and all this. I mean, so they've been playing in makeup. Yes.

Since they were tiny. We let her do it, I feel like, a little too early, but she wasn't allowed to wear it out of the house. She just played in it. Yeah. And it was like blue and pink and tacky and full of glitter. And she didn't really know how to play with it either or put it on. So she would dig holes in it and it'd be gone in a day, to be honest.

Like it didn't last very long. It's super messy. It's so messy. And we haven't done that with Nicole yet because we saw, we learned from our mistakes. And so she doesn't have a makeup desk in her room, but she will get into my makeup. But both of them are pretty good. put it on like they can put mascara on without poking their eyeballs or anything like that it it would be my advice that if you're going to do it you try to help with how it can be organized so

like we like aligating that little desk and having a little it's a place where it all it's contained right because those little kits they're going to get them for you know once you start letting them play they're going to want to ask for more and they're going to get it from aunts and uncles and niece you know nephews and friends and grandparents and they're going to have all these funky little crappy kits everywhere. Crappy kits. Well, it's just going to, and if you have a space where you're like, honey, this is your makeup stand.

This is where your makeup goes. You keep it here so your sister didn't get in it. So such and such and such and such. Or an old school caboodle. I got her one of those too. Like I thought that would be a better thing that Nicole could not get into. So it looks like a little tackle box, to be honest. And they're cute colors.

And so they have a mirror inside. So if you don't want to actually commit to a full makeup desk, that's a good idea too. Just the organization part. I think letting them play is fine. What age did you let them get their ears pierced? At what age did you let them get their ears pierced? Well, so unpopular opinion is I did it already. The Oath was not excited, but he knew it was happening.

Ila, how old was Ila, she was six, and Nicole's four. And Nicole has not taken hers out. We have not changed them out, and it's been fine. The experience was really nice. Ila, however, wanted to change hers out as soon as she could. So it was like six weeks in. And it was a little tender. And so we got them out.

And putting them, putting the new ones back in was absolute torture. Yeah. She had these little loops in. And then, you know, she and her sister were playing with Barbies. And she got Barbie whipped and it pulled one of them out, which also hurt. So she was not going to let me put that back in her ear. So she now still has just one loop in her ear. She's had a hoop in one ear.

And the other one's grown back through. For over a year. She's like pirate. She's like a little pirate with one loop. in her right ear. Yeah. I can't convince her to get that one repierced or change the other one out to something smaller.

That's a little more subtle. So she's got a loop. I feel like when they're younger, it's better because then they don't mess with them. Yeah, sometimes you'll see like a one-year-old with like little studs and you're just like... I feel like I don't think it's a bad choice because they're not going to mess with it.

But their ears grow, you know? So like the only reason I would wait a little bit just because the whole. might not be in the right place. Yeah. I don't know. All girls really like that stuff. So I don't think it's a bad idea to do it.

Yeah. So this next question is how many pillows is too many pillows on a bed? Yeah. We don't agree on that one. I really like having decorative pillows and all the fluff. And I want my bed to be made every morning. I want it to look pretty. Dale does not agree with that. He does not like having the bed made.

So we just, I gave up. I don't have any decorative pillows on our bed at the house house. But I do at the beach house. we have king pillows and I think each one of us have three and one of them always gets kicked on the floor so I don't know two two per person I feel like you need an extra to hold on to or to like put your leg over or something

I like an unmade bed I think it's way more comfortable he likes because then you get in you just have to then pull the sheets off at the bottom to get it comfortable anyway so it's like why make it when you're literally going to get in and just pull it pull it up just can we just pull the pop up and just flatten up. I don't mind like straightening the bed, but I hate like tucking in the sheets and all the stuff because I get down in the bottom, my toes are all bent. Now I got to

kick the sheet out of the out and under the mattress to get my, to give me room. Yeah, I don't like that either. I don't want the sheet to be tight on my feet. Yeah. But I'm way shorter than you, so my feet don't get to the bottom of the bed. Like at home, I just have a comforter on my bed. Really? Just sleep with just the comforter. And like a fitted sheet, no top sheet? So Amy, what kind of blankets of these things? We have a Lola blanket. And if you have to live under a rock to not know what this is, to be honest. So soft. Travis is like, I don't.

I live under rock, apparently. They are these softest, most fluffy blankets. And now, like, they started out with a throw blanket. And now they make king-sized ones that cover your bed. And so that's Dale's favorite thing. But it's really heavy and warm. I will, it would, if it's up to me, I would just jump on top of the, I would just throw that on top of the bed.

I'd never even get under this blanket. Which he does that a lot. And he comes into bed later than I do. So I'm underneath the feather blanket with the Lola over on his side. And he'll come and lay on the top of the duvet and the cover up. And so I can't move. Like, I can't move my covers at all.

He's got a vacuum sealed blanket. I feel like we're going to have to go Dutch style and like get our own. Like, you know how they have their own duvets on each side of the king bed? We just have our own. And then nobody's fighting over the blanket. That would be smart. How many pillows do you sleep with?

Like when you're actively sleeping, are you one or two? Yeah. What is it? I'm a one pillow guy. One? Yeah. Super simple. Just lay down head.

Like, I don't want, like... Do you lay like this? There are times. They all sleep on my back, yeah. Yeah. I do that every now. Yeah. But he sleeps like that.

I start on my right side arm under the top, like on the right side, arm under the pillow. And then I have another pillow. Jackknife leg. Yeah. But also he sleeps diagonally across the bed. Yeah. I will start jackknife. But I'll wake up literally.

my back with my hands like this. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Like he's laying in his coffin. Like I'm laying in a coffin. I usually fall asleep best if I'm on my left side. On your left side. We know somebody. I want to Amy's friends that sleeps balled up. Like a frog. Like a frog. She still does it. Like fetal position. Kind of like a fetal position. Yeah. But like on her belly. On her. On her. On her knees. Knees up. Like she's a little frog. I would be so sore the next morning. She's not. This person is like a in their 40s. Yeah. She's just. my age. Young, yeah, like in their 40s,

young 40s and sleeps on her knees. Yeah. We had a sleepover because the girls are the same age. I don't know, it was last spring. She's going to kill us. It's all right. We're not saying her name. She won't care.

It's kind of funny, but she still does it. I thought, I'm going to say, so she and I slept together in her bed. Her husband was away. And I look over in the morning, I'm like, there's this tiny little ball underneath the covers on her side of it. They're like, yeah, she still sleeps like that.

That's crazy. How? I don't know. Is that comfortable? I don't know. of it. She must sleep really well. She sleeps exactly how she was balled up in her mother's belly. Exactly. Wow. I think that all of us fall asleep with our face smashed into the pillow the same way it was comfortable in our womb. That's, there's like one side that's more

comfortable. It makes sense. Yeah. I do have like, I do sleep better on my right side than my left. I'd rather sleep on my left because I'm facing you, but I don't, I don't, I'm not as calm, not comfortable. I don't know what it is. I'm just, I'm not more comfortable on my right side. Yeah. Have you thought about... What difference does it make? Have you guys thought about just switching sides? Yeah, but Dale won't do it.

He likes that side of the bed. That's not true. What is it about the side of the bed that? I don't know. You just decided that was your side of the bed. That's your side of the bed at the beach, too. You have the same side. I don't know.

I think it's okay that we're not facing each other with our nighttime breath, just like hacking on each other. I do believe that, though. If you're a couple and you sleep the same way in one bed, if you got a camper or if you got a vacation house at home, or whatever, if you go on vacation, if you go to a hotel, like you have to stay. If you're left, you're left.

You have a side of the bed? Makes sense. Yeah. Because I feel like it throws everything off. I don't know. I don't think about it that much. Yeah. So, yeah, he does care about the side of the bed.

Yeah. Well, I'm just wanting to be the same as I am at home, whether it's whatever. Whatever. So our next question is, what is your favorite checks mix piece? Favorite checks mix? Yeah, the piece, like the I,

Oh, man, the rye chip. Oh, the actual piece. Yeah. Yeah, the right chip. Let me read them for everybody listening. You got the corn checks, which is pretty good. The squiggle. The breadstick.

Breadstick. Terrible. What? Wheat checks. Round pretzel. Eh. Re. Bagel chip garbage.

Square pretzel. I mean, if all pretzels, I just get pretzels. the rye chip is by far the best. It is by far the best. It is even close. It's so salty. And they finally, after, I don't know, lots of complaints.

2000 freaking years, decided to put rye chips in a bag by themselves. Yeah, so you can, yeah. You can get your own bag of your own. You can go what, forgo the rest of the stuff and get just rye chips. Because you know when you open a bag, Everybody digs through and just gets the right chips out.

Then you're left with all the other things. You know. Which is super rude. So annoying. Well, I know. But when you're doing it too, you're like. Yeah. You don't care about whatever else things when you're doing it.

I do it as well. Like I would reach through there. We talk about dopamine. A dopamine fix. Dopamine rushes and stuff and like itemize and organizing. And what gives you like pleasure of like doing a chore or task or a hobby? Yeah. Well, like eating a bag of chicks, opening that whole bag and seeing all that's in there.

and digging through to get just the rye is the opposite of dopamine because you're like, damn it, I'm, I'm only... Where are they? Are they all in the bottom? I'm getting only the ones I'm going to run out pretty quick and I'm eventually going to run out pretty quick and have to eat the rest of this garbage. Yeah.

You know what I mean? The whole thing's just a frustration. Yeah. I do like the, uh, the checks. What is that one part? The first one, the rice. Yeah, the right, the corn checks. I like those. They're not a bad.

Once the rye chips are gone, I'm more dig into those guys. See, then we could hang out because I'm not going for the rye chips. At all? The bagel and the breadstick. What do you? What's your, I would go pretzels, then I would go bagel, then breadstick, then the checks. You like the bagel chip?

Yeah, he said it doesn't go for the rye at all. So y'all would absolutely be like a perfect match sitting at the bar. Now, what I love is Uttz has a thing called Pub Mix. Yeah, the Pub Mix. We have that at the house. They have it because they have like the seasoning on it. Yes. And then that's where it's really good.

They have those little hot wasabi peas in there, too. I don't think I've ever seen that one. Really? Those things are good, but they're hard. They are hard. You got to be careful. You got to be careful with your teeth. Yeah.

Well, yeah, that's the same thing with those ride chips, too. But yeah, we had this discussion in the office. I feel like everyone yesterday was going with the right also. They're so good. It's like picking the Lucky Charm marshmallows out of the cereal, too. And they finally made bags of just the marshmallows. not that those are good for you but they're so fun.

They need to come up with, you know, rye chip. What is the sandwich made on rye? A reuben. Yeah. Why don't they come up with the rubin flavored rye chip? That would be awesome.

A reuben chip. A rubin chip. A rubin rye chip. With like a little meat flavor and a little sourcrop flavor. Yeah, sourcrow. Oh, that'd be so good. If there's some sauerkraut seasoning.

Yeah. Like ranchy sourcrime. Probably since it's such an amazing idea. probably going to happen, but it'll be a few years from now. Probably. How do we master the Thousand Island Sourcrowlavor? I mean, it's amazing how these chip makers can find a flavor and put it in a chip. Yeah.

I don't know. You know, I probably don't want to know how they're doing it. But some things are better left to be a mystery. This next one comes from Tom. If you could delete an app off your significant other's phone, what would it be? Oh, Dale, you go first. If you could delete an app off of my phone, What would it be?

Oh. I mean, the only one I see you owns Instagram. Really? So you delete Instagram? Probably. I don't want to. I don't want to. I would delete it at certain moments.

Like, it'd be cool if it, I do not want to delete Instagram from her phone for good. But there's some moments when I'm sitting there and I'm like, I want to delete the Instagram. When he wants me to pet his head or something and I'm just looking at my phone instead. No, no, no, no. Just when we're hanging out, say like if we go to eat lunch or dinner together when we're by ourselves. But it's like not like a nice dinner. You wouldn't never look at your phone during dinner.

But like if we're hanging out at lunch or something, just us, and she'll be on her phone or something. I would be on it. Yeah, you're usually on your phone too, though. Usually it's. I knew this is a conversation is a tough man. It's okay. So he, his all look, like his is either Reddit or X or something.

It's always he's reading, reading nonsense. It's not like he's looking at it. Instagram. I wish you could delete X off my phone. Well, we've gone through periods of time where I was deleted off of your phone. And then it keeps popping back in there. Yeah. I get out of X and delete it off my phone for like a year at a time. And then I get back in there and I'm like, oh, pretty fun. And then I'll delete it.

Get rid of it for a while. Yeah. Like he gets tired of himself on X. I know. I know. It's not got his hooks in me. You know what I'm saying? So you do it just to make sure you can? You know what I'm saying?

No, I'm just saying. What's another quote that we don't like? I'm just saying. What else do you got? Oh man, I don't know. You don't know. It's too hard to put you on the spot. You can think about it.

It's hard to think of it when you're... I know, it's hard. The show will end and all of a sudden you're like, oh, that one, that one, that one. That happens part of it. I hate that. Yeah. Do you have any more questions? Nope.

That's it. Well, do you have an app that you went off Dales? Yeah, X. It would be X. Yeah, X. Yeah. I don't feel like he's on any other social platforms that often. Dale, didn't you used to have.

like set limits for you on your phone? No. I did mess around that. Screen time. But I would ignore it. But I would ignore it. I was like it's a waste of time. So I feel like it's the same.

That would be the same for me as like having the ring or the watch that like tracks your sleep and your steps and all that. Every girlfriend of mine has those things. I'm getting one. I have them. I had, I gave my sister the ring because I just didn't want to. I'm getting the Garmin watch. Oh, you are? Yeah.

And I have a woup band which like, like, cut. Calibrates. And I couldn't even wear it long enough to let it calibrate. Because you have to sleep in it. I don't sleep with my jewelry or anything. I've thought about trying to whoop. It's a great band. It really does a good job.

But I just feel like, I've got to the point where I'm like, if I can't even let this thing calibrate, I don't need to know all the things that's going to tell me anyway. One of the crew chiefs has one and was showing it to me, and it's a little Garmin watch, the 970. And I was going to wear it just to see what it told me. And he's like, man, it tells you all this district stuff. He's showing me everything.

I feel like as neurotic as you are. That's going to be too much information. I know, but it's. It's like it's the itemizing and the collecting of data. I know, but you've got to do something with it. But maybe if it tells him that he's not getting enough sleep, he might go to bed earlier. Like, it might get him to do some things.

I'm either going to look at it and go. That would be shocking. I'm either going to look at it and go, man, I'm challenged to try to improve these numbers. And I'll do some work on myself. Or I'm going to look at it and go, yep, didn't want to know that. And throw it away. I don't know.

Yeah, I can't wait to see how that plays out. Yeah. I know that when I see a rule, like that for myself, I find that to be annoying. Even if I set it up for myself. And so like Jamie, I just have a hard time wearing watch, period. Like I had the Apple Watch for a while and I, I like it. I love it. So the Apple Watch does a lot of the same things, by the way. And I love the Apple Watch because you wouldn't, you'd get a phone, you'd get a text message or something. You wouldn't have to, you know, you don't have to at least. You generally though had the phone really close to. I know,

but more Apple Watch meant less phone. And I liked that. I was like giving, I was like doing less with this. Giving your thumbs a break. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. But then I'm just putting it on and charging it and updating it. It's like, really what is this thing doing?

Well, they have fun little like charging stations now where it's real easy to just throw it over there when you're going to sleep. But you're supposed to sleep in some of those things. Like the aura ring, Jamie has one of those. And it tells her like it's approaching your bedtime parameters she has set up for herself. And I'm like, if my ring kept telling me to go to bed, I would get really annoyed by that. So I just don't feel like it's something I need in my life.

All right. Well, I'm just interested in what the watch is going to tell me, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that information. Yeah, I don't know. I would like to see my sleep patterns, though. Like, I know I wake up and I have, and I have not slept well at all this week. I wake up at 2 a.m. just like looking at the ceiling. I want it to tell me, you're not going to have a good day. You're going to fall, you know, you're going to crash early because you didn't sleep such and such and such and such. I'm going to watch this. Does it tell you that? You didn't know I was going to drink all this Red Bull, did you? You don't know me that well. Watch me go. Yeah.

That'd be smart to have it like for your spouse so you know like, oh, they didn't sleep well. They're tired. I better be nice today because of X, Y, and C. I'm going to mind my P's and Q's the day. Yeah. Maybe that's, Dale, you can get Amy's information sent to you. So you know, okay, she's running low today. Let me be nice.

That's a way better idea. I'll wear the whoop and he can have the app on his phone. Yeah. Careful. Careful around Amy today. Careful. Handle with care. Avoid.

She got an excellent night. sleep, literate. And you would totally do that. See? Just saying. There you go. All right. Well, thank you for your questions.
