Hey guys, Dale Jr. and I are back in the studio at Dirty Mo Media for another round of Bless Your Heart. We have a good show for you this week. We're going to talk about all kinds of weird things. Let's get started. The following is a production of Dirtymo Media. Oh, yeah, this is what it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out. Open a bunch of jars. You've got big strong hands. Are you suffering from high craft? I'm working. Working that mouth.

All right. First up. Hold on. You aren't here. I am, honey. I got some, maybe some good news. Is it shareable? So, yes. I have two companies that I'm...

Cap-aw? Go back in the corridor and gather your thoughts. So all my life, I have been a spokesman, right? And I have been, I have partnered and agreed. and sign contracts to promote products and services. Good ones, ones I've always enjoyed. Budweiser, the National Guard, you name it. We were always really lucky to partner with brands that work.

That were fun. They were fun, yeah, great. I never really got asked to do something that was uncomfortable, maybe once or twice. I always worried, I always wondered how Mark Martin got. got through the Viagri days, you know. But especially, God, imagine doing that today. Yeah, there would be hard.

Back in those days, it wasn't really young. It would be very hard. Yeah, back then there wasn't social media and stuff. So hard. You kind of could ignore the noise. Rock hard. I see where you're going with that. Anyways, I never, ever have started a business

or been part of or owned equity in anything outside. of like racing and race teams, right? But two things that I started in the last four or five years. One was filter time. I partnered with Blake, my friend Blake Cook, who's also a racer. Filter time just had its best month ever. Still going. Filter time's still going.

I don't really talk about. I wore the shirt today. I don't really talk about filter time as much because I only got so many minutes in the day. and I got you know we we have since me and Blake and his brother Christian launched jerky boys which I'm wearing the hat so those two companies filter time jerky boys are are very important to me as is high rock vodka yes we also have have become partners in that a little venture um jerky boys is up 85

percent over last month on Amazon. Jerk boys is killing it. Yeah. You have helped me put together like this little packet. Yeah, we send some marketing boxes out. Send some marketing boxes out to some friends of ours, the Luke Combs of the world

and trying to see if they may like it and talk about it. Or just start ordering, yeah. I walked into the gift shop this morning and met a man who was shopping for souvenirs and handed him two free bags. Every time I go in there and I see somebody I say hey you like jerky

I'm gonna give you a bag I'll give you the first bag free He's like Water Cooler Dale But the Jerky Boys Dale He's laying there at the jerky thing And so passing it out I walked the I just had some good news today We're filter times kicking tail

Jerky Boys going good And just excited And I just wanted to share that But also What's the news? Well that's the news Jerky Boys Has 85%

up over last month on Amazon. You can order on Amazon or you can order on Jerkoy Boys. It is expensive, but it's a small company. We're making, we have a very small production, and it's expensive for us to make it. We're charging it what we have to charge you. We don't want to charge you this. When we get our production numbers way up, we're coming down on the price. We got plans to bring the price down.

But it's also expensive because it's made with really good products. It's great, great stuff. No junk. No preservatives. So very good for you. But speaking of High Rock. Yeah. High Rock is here.

And today's drink is the drunk witch. Yeah. She sounds like a lot of fun. It feels right on trend with us. Yeah. She sounds like the drunk witch. Feels like me anyway. Yeah.

She'd be fun hanging out with at the bar sitting there having some drinks. Could you imagine the drunk witch? Get her drunk and she'd tell you some pretty good stories about her witching days. Right? Could you imagine? She might not tell you everything. when she's sober. When she gets a little tipsy,

she might tell you some of the spells she's cast. Right? That'd be fun. How does she escape the steak? I don't know. Yeah, right. Okay, we're getting out of handy. Today's drink of the week is called the Drunk Witch,

and it is two ounces of high rock vodka, two ounces of blue Caracco, two ounces of grenadine, and then you top it with lemon lime soda. So you can find all of it in the glass, stir it up and then top it with your soda, and it's delicious. I mean, it's like grape juice.

And it looks like a dark purple color, which is fun. Dale's very, very into it. Visit high rock vodka.com to find a bottle near you. They have a store locator on the website so you can find High Rock or any of the other Sugarlands products in a store close to you and you must be 21 years or over. Please drink responsibly. It's tasty.

I usually, I'm a tea, man. You're picky. I'm picky on mixed drinks. I am. That is very good. I like them. You have to make some of those tomorrow before we could trick-or-treat. Oh, is that tomorrow?

It's tomorrow. Man, I ain't ready. I know you're not ready. I know that you don't have a costume. I don't have a costume. I tried to talk him into being an old lady. I have my old lady from Vaco. I'm not going to dress up as an old lady.

And he said no. But we could do an old man again. We got that costume. What are the chances of me not being in any costume whatsoever? I feel like that's the lamest choice. But you said all the boys, all the dads are not going to be there. TJ ain't going to be around. TJ's busy at Phoenix.

So like my partner. my partners in crime, my pals. Like, I don't mind dressing up and... I'm not asking you to dress up as the team thing. Like, we usually have the theme and everyone does it together. Yeah, so there's two... But it's Halloween. There's two components missing that make me feel comfortable.

And that is, I'm not part of the big idea. Because it's, what is it called? The demon. The K-pop demon hunters, Saja Boys. I ain't doing that. So I'm not. part it's not like you know what did we do that year where we all had fun we were you know we were the jet of their own we were league of their own we did star wars you know and i could be a be a person

i could be a thing yeah well i'm gonna ask you to do that well no but this year we should have made you a jerky thing to put on you could have been a piece of i know i didn't i came came up came up on me Halloween came up on me real fast um he he's been planning to not dress up the entire year the other components that's missing is TJ, my buddy, TJ. Yeah, he's got to be at the racetrack. We trick-or-treat with his family. He always is dressing up as well, so we both sort of take one for the team, and he's not going to be there, so I'll be this, I'll be the lone, I don't know.

I don't know, you're not. I'm just trying to tell you, I'm sure there's somebody, there's one out of ten people listening going, I get what he's saying. Yeah, I'm sorry for you. I still want you to, like, swing by the Halloween store and figure a mask or something. something out. I need it. You know,

I just want to wear like regular clothes and a scary mask. That works for me. Yeah. That works. You know, it would be fun to be like, Teen Wolf. It's easier to walk around the neighborhood with you when your face is covered up.

You know, Teen Wolf would be a good costume. Let me get the hands, get the mask, and then I could wear my letter jacket. Your letter jacket? Yeah, the one I had from that commercial where me and Bill Elliott and Chase Elliott are,

I was remembering the 90s in my... So you have one that fits you now? Because the other one... I have, it's a prop from that commercial. Okay. Yeah. That sounds like a good point. plan. Well, I just need a team

wolf. Yeah, I got 12 hours, I guess, to track down me a costume. Yeah, and the Halloween store was very packed. We went through there the other day. They had a Halloween store here. It's by Walmart. Yeah, the Spirit Halloween just kind of pops into whatever vacant spaces around, you know? Really?

They rent for the month. And there's one close to the, it's right across from the movie theater. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right, but, okay, you're right? You're going to be fine. Yeah, I'm figuring it out. Well, um, we also had our last Halloween parade at the preschool yesterday. And I didn't even think about it until we left and got in the car,

but that was like the last time we're ever going to get to do that. So Nicole was about to go to kindergarten. Next year. And they don't do that anymore. So it's kind of a bittersweet thing. It was. But it was very cute. She's got nothing but girls in her class.

We were going to the public to pick up a grocery order, and I was sitting at a stop sign with the turn to home, thinking about how I was having one of those mornings. moments where you kind of go, damn, I remember when me and you, we didn't have kids and we would just go, well, we've got the week off or we've got some free time, where are we going to go do something? And we'd just go do something for ourselves, super selfish. That's what happens when you're young.

I know. And now we're just like, you just get to be selfish. And now we're just like vessels for these kids. We're just like, we're taking you here, taking you there, making sure you're doing this, making sure you're doing that, making sure you're brushing her teeth. and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I wouldn't know what to do without them. Right.

Yeah, I'm glad we have the purpose now. Yeah, we got all this guided, all this guided common sense and love and effort and everything poured it into these kids every single day. And I can't even imagine like what were we doing? I don't know. Probably hanging out in Key West. Yeah, I know.

Just going to a bar and sitting down and drink beer. Yeah. Sounds great. great actually but yeah yeah i'm not fit for that anymore so i'm glad we were we're in this space of life but yeah last Halloween parade so that was a little sad but they were cute and um i'm ready to though i am ready to be taking her to the same school as ila i am too i'm ready for you to be taken on both for me in the morning this morning was absolutely miserable so the kids went to go have a play date yesterday at a friend's house they're outside they're at this long table

they're making potions, which is just like colored water and glitter and mica powder like it fizzes up. So they're just playing outside. But coincidentally, they also had like a pile of candy between the Halloween parade and just the stuff we had out. Nicole at least had a like a pound of sugar. And not like chocolate, like colored food dye candy, you know. And Ila's always been very sensitive to that. So I'm like really, really rigid about how much food die they eat because it just makes them rude. It doesn't just make them like silly. It makes them very hard to deal with. And so by the time I got to Nicole,

because she went home with Carrie, because she has kids at the school, so she picked them up, and I waited for Isla to get done with her homeschool, and then we went, she was bonkers. And she has been bonkers ever since. Like, I don't know where she's at. She's not on planet Earth.

So this morning we get up to get ready, and she's still having the attitude, doesn't want to brush her teeth, doesn't want to get dressed. And then I try to explain to her like, this is what's happening today. It's going to stop raining. You're going to get to play outside. You need to wear this.

It's cold. You're going to have your Halloween party at school today. And now she, the only thing she hears is Halloween party. And so she locks in on wanting to wear a dress. And not just a dress. And by the way, it's still 40 degrees outside. A princess dress. And she comes into the closet wearing a dress.

And I'm like, you can't wear that. Like it doesn't fit her boot. Like her tiny little chest is hanging out of it. Like it's ILOs, clearly. And so we move on to the second. one and she comes in she's dressed as Ariel. I'm like, Nicole, you can't wear that to school today. It is not a costume party. You did that yesterday. It's Halloween. We're something Halloweenish. That little bat dress you have. Go put that on. In her mind, she's thinking, well, this is,

I did this yesterday today. I wanted to do this. Why can't this happen? Yeah. And her response to me is, I can wear this if I want to. Yeah. And then she just looks at me straight in the face. I'm like, so. Listen, I get what you want, but that's not going to work. Tough, tough, tough couple 24 hours parenting. It can go up, I guess. The only way to go at this point. I have a random question for Alex. What do you got?

Do you have anybody in your life that insists on talking on the phone while they're driving? Oh, yes. And you're riding in the car, passenger, it didn't matter. They're always on the phone. Yeah. My dad. Your dad? Yeah.

Okay, so dad over here is like that. Yeah. He always calls someone who's in the truck. Yeah. And he'll call me if he's got no one else that'll pick up because I'm usually not the one that's going to pick up first. Sometimes he calls me first, but not usually. So he calls me the other day, and it's Monday. I had, just from the weekend or whatever, the girls were at school, I had like an hour.

I was like, I'm just going to take a nap. So I lay down on the couch. I've been trying to do better about putting my ringer on my phone just so he can get a hold of me or anyone can if there's an emergency. I just dozed off. And all of a sudden, his ringtone comes on, so I answer the phone. My ringtone. Danger. Danger.

May Day. It's the flight of the concords theme song. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, hello? He goes, hey, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm trying to take a nap. He goes, oh, well, let me tell you about my day.

I'm like, I'm trying to take a nap. He didn't even care. He didn't pick up on it. So he tells me about his day. He tells me about his, he came in and interviewed somebody, didn't you? Maybe it was Tuesday. Yeah.

It was last week. the interview did the Dale Jr. Download. So he comes into the house and I'm still trying to pretend to go back to sleep to take a nap. It never happened. But my eyes are closed because I'm trying. And he's like, fiddled farting around and eventually, like it's like 1130. It's not that late. He goes into the kitchen and starts making soup.

Like he starts to cook. I'm like, there's a lot of other things you could have gotten out that are more quiet than that. And he's got a metal spoon and a metal pan and he's in there going, shh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h. Like, every 30 seconds, he's tasting it and see any of his hot, and then he gets his bowl out, clank, gets the pot, pours it out, puts the pot in the sink. Like, the whole thing's making all kinds of ridiculous noise. And then he sits down at the table next to me, and then just start slurping and eating it and looking at his iPad. I'm like, this man, it's trying to get me to come out of my skin.

I don't know, wait till lunchtime to actually eat. Where was it supposed to go? Eat a sandwich. What did you mean to sit on the couch in silence? What was I supposed to do? Go to the computer room. It's not like you don't know how to disappear.

Godly. So disappear. That's what I should have done. Let me sleep. Yes. I would never do such a thing. If that man's asleep on the couch, I only need about five minutes.

I only need five minutes. Well, we're not the same person. I understand. You can fall asleep in a crowded room also, and I can't do that. So I had just fallen asleep. That's not the only time he's done stuff like that.

Yes, it was at two-step. I could go to sleep right now. Yeah, you could. He used to fall asleep behind his sunglasses in the airplane. You think he were talking to him. Y'all were having conversation. All of a sudden, he's not responding, and it's because he fell asleep behind his sunglasses.

That was a pretty popular thing for you to do for a little. That's so funny. Yeah, so the other night, it's Tuesday. The girls go to dance, and they have costumes because it's Halloween week, and Ila's face is painted green. She's Elfaba. So I get her home, and I've got her in the bathtub. And I'm trying to.

Everybody knows who that is. It's the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz. Okay. That makes more sense. She's a witch and she's got green paint all over her face, her ears, and everything. And so I got her in the bathtub. I'm trying to get the green paint off. It's like all hands on deck.

I'm trying to make sure this green paint doesn't get slung anywhere. I'm probably overthinking all of that stuff. But I am trying to make sure I get it off her before she gets it in her mouth or whatever. Phone rings. It's Dale. And he's like, hey, what are you doing? Well, I've got Eila in the bathtub. I'm trying to scrub the green paint off of her face.

Well, Nicole and I, they're coming back from Kennedy's birthday dinner. Nicole and I were riding and we just had a question. I'm like, okay, he goes, are you going to ask her, Nicole? Of course, Nicole's not talking on the phone. And like, it's all taking way longer than it should. Nicole's the one that wanted to call mom. And Nicole's now shy. I'm out on an island now because it's a silly-ass question that we're going to ask.

Yes, so the question he finally gets out is, We were curious, do you like living in a small town or a big city better? Because Nicole, he swears that you like living in a big city with all the buildings and all the people. And I like living in a small town. So we got into this conversation about who likes to live where. And I was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me. This is calling me to ask. This is how this happens.

Me and Nicole went to. And there's no threshold for let's filter this. Me and Nicole went, no. Me and Nicole went to Kennedy, her birthday at Epic Steakhouse in downtown Moorsville. Yeah, Kennedy is Kelly's middle child. Epic, yeah. And Epic's the best chop steakhouse in Morseville. So we went down there. I thought went to 131. Nope. Oh, Epic. Great, great place. That's good because you really would have been late. I love Epic. So we're there. And so we leave and we're driving through Moorses. And I said, you know, me, I'm like, this is how I talk to my kids in the car.

We're driving down the, we pull, we're, we're driving down Main Street. And I go, man, look at, look at Main Street. Look at May it's 7 o'clock at night. Look at Main Street. How pretty and lights. Look at how beautiful downtown Moorsville is tonight. He's selling something at all times. And Nicole goes, yeah, but it's small.

And I go, yeah, but I like small. I like small towns. Yeah, I like big towns, she says. She says, I like cities, big cities. May and Mom and Ila, we all like big cities. Which is funny because has she ever been to one? I know. And I'm like, really?

And I said, yeah, you want to call mom? Yeah, let's get Mom involved in this. Not because, of course, I'm going to call somebody. I'm in the car driving. Of course. Moms who we're talking about. Do you want to call her? Yes.

Let's call Mom. So, boom. Call Mom. Hey. while we're talking, do you like big cities? Because that's what the girls are saying. That's what Nicole says. You know, what are we going to talk about?

We're going to talk about the topic of the conversation in the car. Yeah. That's how my brain works. Yeah, so in the moment, like, there's just no reading the room. There's no, like, maybe. I couldn't read the room. I wasn't in. And I'm trying to wait for a real humdinger of a question, you know.

And then when he pulls out the big city, small city thing, I'm like, how do I politely respond to this and not lose my absolute mind? Well, it was going real good till Nicole totally ditched me on the phone call. When the phone rang and I'm like, man, this will be cute. Nicole's going to ask her about the town, big town or small town. And then Nicole completely shut down on me. And then now I'm like, well, this is silly. Well, so I had walked away too from Isla because she was in the bathtub with the water running.

So I couldn't put it on speaker and like have my hands free. So I've got green paint on my hands, holding my phone, walking to the closet. I'm like, wait, what? I had no idea. I'm like, golly. This could be more ridiculous, this whole situation. What a mess. But, yeah, that's a pretty common everyday occurrence at our house.

Yeah. Yeah. The chaos. The awareness. Man, I just, yeah. I wonder if anyone else is like that when they get in the car and start driving, and their mind goes, I'm calling this. Who can I call?

Who do I need to call? It's like a guy thing, too. I've started doing it too. What? Yeah, it's like, I have 30 minutes. This is wasted time. I can knock out three phones. phone calls. I know that I can knock off my list for like a month. You know, call grandma.

Like you have to do phone calls? Well, you know, you got to check up on family, friends, and you can kind of check that off your list. You have to talk to them for a little bit. You have this steady sort of obligation in the back of your head of like, I hadn't checked in a while. I haven't talked to this person in a while. I just, I just got to call them and they'll, and that'll be good. Yeah. I mean, I have that going on. I also usually have like two kids in the car and noise. And so I can't really do that. Yeah. I don't call.

So that's, to your point, like driving to school, I don't call anybody. Well, sometimes you call Kelly just say good morning. Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, because then Illa and Kelly can talk, but I won't call, like, a crew chief or I won't do a work call and have a conversation about things and Ila's sitting there. Sure. Unless it's like absolutely instant, you know, somebody's reached out to me. But, yeah. And as soon as I get her out of the car, I pull it out of the parking lot, it's like, who we're calling? Oh, yeah.

I mean, I thoroughly enjoy my time in the car, because it's not that long, usually when I'm by myself. Like, just 10 minutes of silence. Or, like, I listen to radio. Like, I listen to the chill station on XM. I love that station. It's just beats, just music. I got done with, I dropped her off,

and I called Marty Lindley, Cree Chief of 88 car. And so I had this conversation with him. And his conversation made me think about another conversation I needed to have with another person or multiple people, right? because we're running for the championship this year at the extended air this weekend. And I'm like, man, I need to call each driver and tell them this, this, and this, and I need to make sure this and this and this is right. Yeah.

Well, I don't have any of that going on. So I can understand why you need to make some of those calls, but the ones I get are not necessary. Had I not called Marty, I would have never done that whatever, like sparked and I would have not done some things I probably should do this week. Yeah, I hear you. I do have one random thing. and you can probably help me with this too. How can you, if you're in a relationship for a long time, which we are, and this is like a hard thing to breach,

but how do you approach your partner and tell them that they've kind of let themselves go? Like maybe we should get back to try and like we're dating again. Like you're trying a little harder to keep yourself up or, you know what I mean? Like maybe it's clothes, maybe it's like you're eating. eating habits, maybe it's your just grooming? Grooming, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hygiene, I don't know. Like, how do you bring that? Is there a good way to do that? No, I don't think so. I think being just honest and open while it might hurt in the short term is the most effective long term. Do you like just go for one small thing

and hope that like a trickle effect from Is there a lot? Is there a lot? Is there some things? Think about all of it. Is there a lot of things going on that somebody needs to work on? No, so my reason for asking this is because I had kind of gotten that way. What are you talking about?

I have lost 15 pounds in the last several months. I have gone back to working out, all the things. Dale never once said, hey, you're getting kind of fluffy. Or, hey, is Pilates still open or nothing? He never once made me feel bad about letting myself go. And so I'd like, thank you for that. But now that I've gotten my bod back or gotten back in shape and I feel so much better, I was just curious.

It's like if there's really truly not a good way. Or maybe guys don't care if girls get extra curvy. No. But if you gain 30 pounds, I probably be like, hey, man, maybe we should change. When you get extra curvy, you get extra curvy, which is a good bonus. Like when you put, if you put on 15 pounds or 30 pounds or 50 pounds, I mean, there's, there's, positives to that. Yeah, I mean, I understand. I don't see it as a problem, but... Guys gain it in one spot. And I'll be honest, like, I'm not just saying this shit, but when we first met,

I mean, the, of course, I mean, when I seen you walking across the parking lot, it was immediately just a physical thing. I didn't know who you were, how you acted, how you talked, or what you sounded like, whether you had an annoying laugh or whatever, right? I mean, I'm just like, that's a beautiful woman. I'm immediately attracted to what I see. And while that has been awesome, over the course of the

relationship, I have become your, I mean, you've become my best friend. I love hanging out with you more than anyone, and I want to be with you every day. And I always want you around. And every time I'm around and doing something and you're not there, I'm always wondering

how much better this would be if you were present. And so, what you look like it's not like I can it's not like I mean if you let yourself go to an extent

I mean you know you've got pretty if you got really stinky I might say hey man you know but you're not going to do that you know what I'm saying but I'm still time I'm not I'm just saying like

all the the the physical the traction physical really doesn't matter anymore at all I mean it does a little it really doesn't And I... It does it for me.

It does it for me because... And I see, I know men, friends of mine, people that I know where their better have age and wear and tear and life is... That's part of that. Life is just caught up. Yeah. But also, you know, they are not as fit or not, you know, they just think, you know, as you get older, it's just really, really hard. Metabolism changes and all this thing. And they could give a shit less.

They love them as if they love them as hard and as much as they ever did. And so I see that. That's like an example for me. And so, and I can connect. I can totally relate to that. Like, I'm thankful that you, to me, I tell you too all the time. Like you don't look any different to me than you did. I know he'll say that sometimes, even if I have weight.

I'm like, you are a lion. I can tell you right now my pants don't zip. And so I know that there's differences here. I know. He just, like rose color glasses, you love me, and that doesn't matter to you, which I'm grateful for. I'm not, this is not an attack on you whatsoever. I'm grateful for that.

So I don't know. If you gain 30 pounds, though, I'd probably be like, hey, man, we're going to quit find some cave a couple weeks. Well, I hope you would, if I was not doing, if I was having some bad habits, which I do, I mean, I have terrible habits. And I think about, like when I grew my beard out and I know it's ridiculous looking, and I wear, I'm lazy in terms of how I dress. And I just, some days like to, I mean, I love this filter time sweatshirt, don't get me wrong, but today it's got crackles in those.

It's bare, minimum. I grabbed the pants I wore yesterday off the floor. I put on some new socks and underwear. And I grabbed this first sweatshirt I could find that had a logo on it that I wanted people to read. And then I grabbed, and then I grabbed a hat. Yeah. So, I mean, it's like, in a white, I have like. a basic white t-shirt and I have like a stack of them and I just wear these every

day under the shirt. It's bare minimum. I'm not trying. I don't care about your clothes. I know. I'm just saying like that's one. There's things that I need to tighten up on. And so I think about that. I go, man, you know, I go, I do think about this. This does cross my mind every now and then. Every now and that. So speaking of every now and then it crosses your mind when you've got to get in a race suit or you've got to put the penguin suit on which we have to wear this next week yeah the tuxedie- anytime I have to wear tucks I go shit it's been a year I'm gonna go and try to put this thing on and if it's tired I'm gonna be so depressed we have a moment in

the closet where it's like this countdown of yeah it's gonna zip up it's it's stressful and so I don't know I'd I used to never give I used to never be that damn I just not give a shit but I don't know um I well you're fine this isn't an attack on you you're great all I'm saying is I'm grateful for you not making me feel bad about it and wondering like if there is an actual way that anyone's had someone tell them ooh you know you're kind of slipping or whatever the thing is I think I just count my blessings that you don't have like chronic bad breath

or some you're sort of you know particular flaw for lack of a better word I have got a thousand flaws. You just like all of them. I like all the things that I like everything about it. There's nothing that I wouldn't, I wouldn't, there's not a thing that I would change. You know, I just, I think I count my blessings. Yeah, I'm so lucky. Because, you know, I have friends.

I had a buddy of mine that had chronic bad breath. What? Yeah. And I'm like, golly, man, what do you do about that, right? Did you tell him? No. Does anybody tell him? No.

I couldn't tell him that. I mean, I can tell him he's got a booger in his nose, but I can't tell him, like... Really? You can't say, man, you need some gum? Well, I don't know that it's a gum thing. I think it's something... I know, but it might trigger, like, my breath stinks. I don't know.

This kind of goes back to that conversation we had last week about friendship and... Maybe we weren't that close. Physically, yes, enough for him to put his breath on you, but not... I'm just saying, look, you know, I'm thankful because, I mean, I'm particular. I'm very particular. Yeah, I know. very selfish in like how you know how I hoped my life would turn out life partner would be yeah well I'm grateful yeah me too um let's talk about something silly now I think we have some fixings did we

exhaust that yeah I think so I think we squeeze the hell out you can't tell them can't tell what you can't so you got to you don't think you can't tell them you just got to come out and tell them I think so don't pile on but like you know subtly mention it I'm telling you man Be careful because I think women are probably, well, like, whether they're tougher. It is tough.

Women are tougher mentally and boys will just, if you tell a guy that he's falling short, you're 10 years into a deal or five years into relationship and you tell a man that he ain't doing the shit he's supposed to be doing, you've got to be careful because you'll break his spirit. I think women, women are tougher. We are tougher, but we don't forget what you said either.

So even if we like 10 years from now, like things happen, aging happens or whatever. Like, we're always going to be a little concerned. You know what I mean? Men are visual creatures. Women are the flowers. We're supposed to look like we're supposed to look. So it's just one of those things we're always concerned about.

If you tell a woman this, she's going to take the information. She's going to make the adjustments if it's necessary, but then she's also going to remember it. And then it's going to come back and bite you in the ass. It only bites if it's like something that they can't fix, you know what I mean? And that sucks. Well, no, I think if it's something they could fix, you'll fix it. And then there'll be a day where there's a disagreement or an argument, and that comes up.

Yeah, because it hurt their feelings. Yeah, because their feelings are still heard about it. Yeah. Yeah, there's no good way. I don't think there is a good way. That's the final opinion there. Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest, bless your heart gear, go to shop.

The Fixing segment brought to you by Helmonds mayonnaise made with real quality ingredients. Helmonds is a lifesaver in the kitchen. Grab a jar next time you're out. Check out helmans.com for recipes.

You can fix anything that you might have going on. Use little Helmins. We put, we were just talking about it. Last year we put Helmins on the turkey. Yes, we were making Thanksgiving plans and talked about the turkey. And Ilo was like, you guys have to make the turkey like you did last year. and we put Helmand's mayonnaise all around the outside of it to help it brown, and it was absolutely amazing.

It was. So, yeah, sometimes you mess up real bad, and you need someone to tell you exactly how to make it right in this new fixing segment. Our listeners have sent in some disastrous moments or tough predicaments, and me and Amy try to help them recover with a plan. So let's go. Yep.

First one, how do I negotiate with my seven-year-old daughter to take antibiotics? Oh man, that's hard. So we have to do that in our house too. First kid will take all the vitamins, all the medicine, even if it tastes bad. She understands the process and that it's going to be quick and painless. The second kid does not. So we have to bribe her. Chocolate.

With chocolate. That's the only thing we figured out. Find their weakness and bribe them. And do not feel any shame about it. Yeah, I mean, you can sit there and think, well, yeah, this is definitely probably going to bite me in the ass because I'm going to have to bar. it's going to be, they're going to learn the bargain. They're going to learn to negotiate. And now they're going to want to negotiate everything.

Can I be done with dinner if I just have two bites, two more bites? Yeah. You're like, nope, we're not counting. I think that when they're sick, though, you don't care. If you teach them how to negotiate or how to bargain, they're definitely going to start doing that. So know that, but that's all. It's part of the process.

That's what you have. That's all you have in the tackle box. Yeah. It works. Brive them. I was that kid. You needed to bribe it. Really?

That was the only thing that works. I mean, the only one that will take is a moxacusilling because it tastes like bubble gum. And that's truly the only one. Yeah. But everything else, it's a pain. They'll develop at a very young age, some really good negotiating skills. That's right. It'll pay off down the road.

And you'll learn some self-control and some calmness or all the things. Maybe you won't. But you'll remember how to get it done. All right. So brib them. That's what we suggest. Next one, this one's funny. I recently went to buy a car and I wasn't worried about getting a good deal as much as I just wanted the car I wanted, with all the add-ons I designed.

I desired. Just as the sale was coming to a close, my wife turned to me and said, aren't you going to haggle? Feeling small and less of a man, when the guy came back, I went, my wife thinks we should haggle, so let's haggle. She got up pissed and walked out of the dealership. She's still mad about it, but I was pissed at her comment. So what should I do? I think you handle that perfectly. I love it. Hell yeah. The word haggle is also a very funny thing to say. Congratulations. That was awesome. I know. I wish I He could have been there to see it. That's pretty funny.

I'm surprised she didn't laugh in the moment because of the ridiculousness of him actually saying that out loud. I don't know. I think that's pretty spot on too. Yeah, spot on, man. I think you said, Amy, like saying the word haggle in that is hilarious to me. Like, hey man, let's rassel.

Let's let's haggle. Let's hackle it out. There are some times, I think, when you have to do those type of things to send the signal to your better half that you look, man, I'm crazy and if you push my buttons,

I'm gonna embarrass the f*** out of both of us. Right? That is not what I thought you were gonna say. I thought you were gonna say, hey man, I'm in charge. And this is how this is gonna go. No, like I'm, like you've hurt, if you, if you damage my ego,

I'm gonna show you how crazy. Like I'm gonna, I can make a clown out of both of us. Oh my God, that's amazing. It's both down. And you'll, it's, and you know what? like Amy or the better half, that side may not get that message at all out of the whole thing, right?

But you feel so much better. I bet he felt great. Oh my God, as a clown would. Yeah. Good job, man. All right, here's my last one. I'm a huge Toronto sports fan and my eight-year-old son

just started taking interest in the sports teams I like. I let him stay up past his bedtime to watch the World Series game this past Monday thinking it would be over around midnight. Well, the game went 18 innings and didn't end until 3 a.m. Holy moly. So as you can imagine, he didn't get up in time to catch the bus for school,

and my wife had to drive him. She was furious at me for letting him stay up so late. However, I explained to her that this was a core memory for me and something I will always remember. Does this need to be fixing, or should we just both drop it? Oof, I mean, as long as you don't do that again, like if she won't drop it unless she knows that she hears from you that you're not going to do that again.

Because yes, core memory made, but if you do it twice, it's not like a core memory. It's just a bad habit. You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree. And yes, it makes sense that you would want to have the memory, but that's a late night for a school kid. He can't focus on anything the next day.

Yeah, that's late. And then he's a mess when he comes home that she's going to probably have to deal with. So I get her frustration, but I don't know. I think the best thing to do, probably honestly, in that situation is apologize, understanding you made a bad choice. You wanted to try to make a great core memory that he won't,

you know, that the child and the parent are going to remember. but it ended up, you know, ended up going poorly. And I'm surprised he didn't fall asleep on the couch. I know, that's late. Yeah, just say, hey, I'll use better judgment next time. You know, you trust me, I recognize the mistake. Yeah, having the acknowledgement is first key moment.

Yeah. Don't argue and just say, hey, man, it was a one-time thing or any of that. Don't fight. Don't, it's not a battle that you need to win. Just go ahead and admit, it didn't go the way you hoped. and you won't want to happen again. Yeah, I do feel for the guy, though. What are the odds that goes 18 innings?

Well, I know, but at some point he's got to look at the clock and go, oh, man, sorry, buddy. I mean, you know, it's one o'clock, and this is, this is going way past what I thought. He had to have been exhausted at school. Yeah. Oh, yeah. At some point, you've got to have a personal line in the sand.

Yeah, your moral compass has to tell you. Yeah, where you go, all right? This is not going to override the corner. You know what, little man? one o'clock you're going to bed regardless and I'm gonna I'm gonna have to smooth this over yeah so she's like let him stay up till 3 a.m.

Now she's questioning you as a parent all together not just that one moment. She's like he is not fit. Now he needs to be told what to do all day every day. It's just get you in that kind of a pickle because women don't want to feel like they have to guess your judgment right? So that's why it gets to be like more

of a fight than it actually should be. Just don't do that again. Don't do that again. So that was the fixin segment presented by Helmonds. The fixing segment is brought to you by Helmans.

a natural disaster? Thunderstorm was where I was like, I don't know, it could be, I guess, but I don't know. I was thinking tornado or hurricane. If it's too windy, I ain't going outside. I guess. If I see a, what's a mean dog?

Wait, what? Hoth to another bathroom is on there. Oh, hop to another bathroom. Oh, go to another bathroom. Really? People literally just hop on over to another bathroom. Yeah, that one's got toilet paper. Wow.

Gross. We're assuming that they're in the middle of using the bathroom. They could have just walked in and seen an empty roll. And going, I'll go through the other bathroom. With their pants down? That could have been there. No, we're assuming their pants are going. It says hop.

Yeah, it says hop. I would also assume, based on the answers, that they are in the middle of going. Okay. So, keep thinking that. That's gross. What about? You're hopping around, just dribbling everywhere. What about use a leaf?

Because you have a plant. Maybe we're in the woods. In the bathroom. Maybe you're having a, you know, had emergency in the woods. No, no, that's not on there. Maybe a magazine. Is there a page of a magazine around? I carry a toilet paper in my hunting bag in case there's an emergency.

That's smart. Good to know, Ralph. Magazine's not on there, though, but I like what we're thinking, though, using something else. Just pull your pants up anyway? Like, forego it all together? Don't wipe. Don't wipe. Don't wipe.

That one, I don't think that should. It's not an option. Yeah, it's number two, but that's... I can't believe people said that. Disgusting, that's number two. Again, think of a woman going to the number one, and it's not as, it's not as, scary of a situation as you're thinking. I agree.

You're like still, ugh. You got four and five left. One's an emotion and one is... Oh, cry. Yeah, like panic or cry. Panic and cry. What's the other? The other is you're going to use something else,

specifically. What are you going to use? Your shirt? Not your shirt. Take your shirt off? Pants? No. Sock? Your panties? No. Pull your sock off. No.

Gross. Sox's a good one now. Please don't touch your butt with your sock. I mean, I give up a sock in a situation for sure. Rather than not wipe at all, I mean, I definitely use this. I would say, if you use this, your wife is going to be pissed. Oh, like the hand towel. Yeah, like those towels or bathmacks.

As she should be. Woof. If I used a hand towel, you never find it. Yeah, exactly. You'd never hide that. Burn, then I make it disappear. What? Where is this hand?

Hi, guys, Dale Jr. and I are in the Dirty Moom Media Studio for another day of Bless Your Heart. We've had a fun show and can't wait for your questions. All right. First question from Sarah. She wants to know, Amy, have you been watching Dancing with the Stars at all? We're talking about this. If you have, what are your thoughts on Andy making it this far? Do you watch Dancing with the Stars? I haven't watched Dancing with the Stars. We talked about it the other day. Yeah, I saw it pop up. I love the show. Yeah. I love dancing and I love the show. I forget his first name, which is terrible at the moment. Irwin. Oh, Robert Irwin? Robert Irwin. He's like made the biggest scene and pretty good at it. But no, I haven't watched any of the episodes. Have you watched any of the Mormon wives at all?

Like Secret Lives and Mormon Wives? I have watched the first episode or maybe the first two. And then I turned it off. I was like, honestly, I feel so bad for these girls. Yeah. I can't. They're all on this season of Dancing with the Stars. They're like two or three of them.

So it's been very popular. But yeah, Andy Richter is a big story that he keeps getting moved on. I will have to check it out. Yeah, definitely. Next question is from Calvin. He's very furious. He asked a couple times. When is the right time to start listening to Christmas

music. I guess he just heard it for the first time with Halloween. Oh, wow. I feel like we're always pushing the envelope with all the holidays. I put my Christmas, I put my Halloween decorations up or a little early, earlier than I typically would. And I was telling Dale, like, I started pulling them and putting it away already and it's not even Halloween yet because I'm just tired of looking at it. Yeah. And I was like, I'm not going to get the Christmas out yet because we need like a buffer period. There is an official time. It's right after Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah. So I think so.

I have this radio in my garage that plays this on this. There's a station, local station that's one of those, we play everything stations. And it's on all day, every day. It plays all the time. Yeah. And they start playing Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving. And they play Christmas music all the way through the new year. The new year.

It marks the space. You know what I mean? It's like a mental calendar. Yeah. He gets so excited when it turns on and he gets a little sad when it turns off. I do. I get sad when it turns off because I'm like, it's like an identifier that time has passed. Another year is come and went.

Yeah. I feel like if you started too early, you just wear it out. I know. And by the time the holiday comes, it's not as fun anymore. They play like last Christmas and there's like three different versions. Yeah. Different people singing it. And it plays.

I mean, about every time I go out in the garage, there's like a one in three chance I'm going to hear last Christmas. Last Christmas. Oh, yeah. I'm like, all right. I know. When ABC family used to do that like 25 days of Christmas where it was all Christmas movies, that was like the best.

I feel like they still do that. They might. And Hallmark does it too. There's like all these different stations that will play their movies. Yeah, I like that for Halloween though, too. There's a Halloween countdown with all the hocus pocus and all the movies that you do. For sure. But yeah, Christmas music will start hearing it, I guess, now.

Next question is from Erica. She wants to know, how can I get my husband to finish a project? He gets so bored when he's about 95% done and never completes it. It should be part of the fixing segment, honestly. Stand out there with your shirt off. I don't know. That's hard. I'm like that.

So I have a hard time answering that question. I get almost to the finish line half the time and I get either get distracted or I get busy doing something else and I'm like I have to get the nudge to come back to it. So I'm like that. That's a toughie. What do you think, Ralph? I finish them. I know you finish, but how do you encourage, how do you get her to encourage him to finish?

Hmm. No. I don't know. No. So, yeah. I don't, I don't, I don't, I think it's a problem. I think you're going to have to, like you got to, I mean, I, I think you got to be careful because it could be, it could create an argument. A lot of things you just leave well enough alone.

like that's so like I have my I have the way I do things Amy has the way she does things and our spaces in the house are always going to be her spaces will be the way she wants them mine will be the way I want them and I think you just kind of got to let that person kind of do what they do and or the only thing

the only thing I think you could do is offer to help yeah I was just going to say that like can I help you finish very subtly yeah hey you want me to finish that for you but that's careful careful I gotta tell y'all a funny story

right now has to do with that it reminds me of something well go for it I don't know if it's it's so out of context I was in

I went to Australia and I was hanging out with a buddy of mine Paul Morris and another guy named Owen Kelly and they

there was a bartender female barc bartender serving beer and we had just gotten into town we had we were there I mean we just showed up been there we checked in the hotel and met him at this bar that they wanted to take us to that they always go to and it's kind of like a kind of like a sports bar really and we were the only ones in there and Paul and Owen said check this out mate and they walked up to this wait the waitress and or they serve and she had a tattoo and Owen said what's the tattoo and she said oh this this nothing goes

I got a buddy of mine and can touch that up for you and or finish it or whatever and I was like whoa that is so rude I know I was like damn but that's why that I just you got to be careful so that made a mark on your mind so much so that when you're talking to someone about finishing a project that they started that's what I think of that moment Damn. Yeah. I think you're overthinking it. No, I just, that is, that is bad.

We were just sitting here talking about it. That memory sprung into my head, which it does every time. There's a couple of things that happen where you're like, it scares you off of some things where you're like, I don't want to touch it. They had a laugh. I mean, they were laughing. It was the girl laughed. The guys laughed. They laughed.

It wasn't like this really rude thing. And they walked away. But I was like, I would have never thought to say that or play that prank or joke. Was he saying it to flirt with her? Yeah. Interesting. Okay. I don't know.

Well, speaking of some advice, Tyler needs some as well. He says he waits at the last minute to buy Christmas gifts all the time. But he wants to start earlier this year, but he wants to know how does he subtly ask his wife what she wants without getting the why you're asking me now? Oh, I wouldn't worry about her response of why you asking me now. I would just ask her like, hey, really want to make sure I do a good job on Christmas this year. If you don't mind, put a little list together for me and put a star next to anything that's the most exciting for you. just so that I can do a good job. I don't think she's going to respond.

She might go, oh my gosh, I haven't even thought about that. Yeah. You know, of course. Me and Amy used to have a photo stream that was basically, you know, like a gift idea. And I would just drop stuff in there that I liked, just screenshot things on my phone and just drop it in there. And because, I mean, you do, you don't talk about it. You don't say, you're rolling up on Christmas and you haven't. Either one of you have taken time to ask the other what they really want.

you're panicking, trying to figure out how to get everything. And then you're going somewhere local, buying something that they didn't want to begin with. Shipping around that time is slow, and everybody's trying to get everything sent to them. And you're going to get stuff in a corner. But we started this photo stream. We don't use it anymore. We've stopped. But early in our, you know, when we were trying to figure out how to be married, that was very helpful.

We. But it was helpful. It was helpful. What's helpful about it is you can drop things in there whenever you think about it. And it's not like you have to sit down on like school, create a list. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it's a little bit easier that way and organic.

And so you can just refer to it. There's a photo there. You can write the size or any details in the notes. Yeah. It's very easy. Yeah. That was helpful as heck. So create a photo.

Because I don't know nothing about shopping for what you think she's, I've never, you know, I wouldn't have a clue. So she'd spell it out for you. And then I'd just, you know, drop my little things in there. And you knew what you were getting for Christmas, which kind of. Well, If you overdue the list, you don't have to get everything on the list. You know, like, you can just put things in there you really like.

I would do that. After a couple years, I'd be like, I'm going to get her all. I'm going to get her the things she wants, but then also a couple things that I think are cool. And that way, if those fail miserably, at least she got what she wanted. And we'd always had a laugh. Yeah. I always buy her some of funny things. There was one year.

He got me a pile of Moresville High School T-shirts and sweatshirts. The high school he went to. Yeah. I got, this is right before we got married. I think the year ago. I'm going to make Amy a Moorsville high school fan. She's going to wear my high school's shirts and stuff. This is how we think.

So we make a list and we have pictures and it works very well. Do you think it's got easier to shop for each other as you've been together longer? Yeah, it has. And then also just makes it easier to talk about it. So if he wants something like last year he wanted to scope for one of his guns, I'm like, okay, please don't let me screw that up, send me exactly what it is. And so, like, he also knew what he was getting, but I've got him something he really wanted. And he would have otherwise just bought him for himself.

So, yeah, we just, it's not that big of a deal anymore. And it wouldn't you have kids, the focus is on the kids anyway. And so it's not so much pressure. Yeah. All right. So Tyler, don't overthink it. Just to ask. Next one is from Amy as well.

Oh. What's your favorite part of Halloween? Is it carving pumpkins, dressing up, or the candy? I love the dressing up. Yeah. I think it's fun just to, like, be in a costume and dress up and do the makeup. and the kids love that too. I feel like when we were little,

we just got the one day, but now there's like parties and events and school things, and so they get to dress up all the time. Plus, they dress up to play, which we didn't really do as a kid either, so they're very into it.

Makes it fun. Yeah. I load the candy part. Yeah. It has any self-control. No. So we're always peddling it away. My favorite part is the decorations,

probably the vibe, the exterior, like in a neighborhood. Yeah. Yeah. I like, I like the vibe. vibe of Halloween, like scary movies, you know, the spookiness.

Spookiness of it. Yeah. I like, you know. Haunted trails and things. Yeah, I love, I want to get scared. Halloween's a great way to, like, kind of get introduced to fall again. Like, I cold weather, it's getting, you know, darker earlier, but it's like a fun holiday. Yeah.

I think it's a good time of the year. It's a bit of a tease, too, towards, like, you got Thanksgiving out there and then Christmas and I always feel like I always look at the calendar and go I don't know why, but Halloween and Halloween feels like it should be immediately followed by Thanksgiving, but there's like a whole other month

and you're like, damn, come on. You don't want to wish it away because it's my favorite time of the year. Like from this moment to the new year. Yeah. I love this time of year. But I'm excited for Thanksgiving. Excited for the next thing.

I always get excited just about football season. Like this kind of year. I've been here. I know, but when it's colder and then when you don't have anything else to do, everybody's really watching football and it's more intense because it's getting towards the end of the season. You know what I mean?

Yeah. I'm looking for college basketball. I did really good on. We must have some bets going. Fan duel last year with college basketball. Look forward to that. Yeah. When does that start?

I don't know. Soon? It'll start soon. The NBA's cranked up. So it's got to be coming soon. Start caring about it once football is kind of over. It's January. guess.

But yeah. Also, everyone in the chat saying daylight savings is this weekend. Are you serious? Oh, man. Yeah, it always does happen on Phoenix weekend. I think it's Saturday night. Saturday night? So, yeah.

Fall back, I guess. I wish we didn't do that. Can we just not do that? Arizona doesn't. So Phoenix is going to be different time Saturday to Sunday, I believe. Yeah. That's just confusing. I don't know why we do it.

Yeah. It's helpful when you travel across the time zones when it's doing it. It's moving the furniture around in the room just for no reason. and we're just going to move the couch over here and then in 12 months we're going to move back Well some parts of the country It's going to get dark at like 4.30 Why are we doing it?

I mean, we just move it back. I don't know. It's something of farming, but I don't know. Something with farming? I think so. That's their whole reason for it. Really? Yeah, because of...

It's for the crops. Crops, yeah. Really? Yeah. If we didn't do this... They don't care what time it is. Yeah, if we didn't do this, we'd fuck the crops up. The corn won't grow.

Somebody in the chat correct to me, but I think that's it. All right. Speaking of Phoenix, a lot of people in the chat are asking, Amy, where are you going to watch the Xfinity race this weekend? I will be at the race. Awesome. Yeah, go to Phoenix.

Where, though? Where physically are you going to watch the race? No dang clue. You're going to be with me? I'm going to, I probably won't sit on the pit box. I've always felt uncomfortable doing that. I am in the way. There are sponsors.

There are people that need to be sitting up there that know what's going on. We're going to sit on the eight-car pit box with Sammy Smith. Okay. Oh, smart. Yeah. We'll see. That's neutral ground. Yeah.

I don't like being stared at I don't feel like I'm in my race They're watching a race The most important race the year I'll stare at you But they won't Yeah you will I don't know

I really haven't thought it I'm gonna be in Phoenix though I'm excited about going I wasn't gonna go I was gonna try to fly out He talked me into going Then we're gonna get in a spa Yes we have a spa day

I didn't have one in a while I'm gonna make him go hiking first Oh we're gonna hike Because the trails out there is so cool Just gotta remember to take my shoes Yeah Here's a hiking question. Oh, we'll find you some.

We'll find you some. We're going to see some rattlesnakes. We might see some snakes, yeah. Yeah, you will up there for sure. We've done it before. Yeah. It'll be fine. All right.

Very cool. We've got a little time to kill. We're going to have to see some restaurants. Hopefully we can find some good restaurants. Should we call Dale Jarrett? He lives out there. Anybody in Phoenix want to tell us where we need to go eat? Yeah, that's a good idea.

Send us some ideas. Damn. All right. Someone did say in the chat. It is to give Farm. there's more time in the fields. Oh, so.

It's to give them more time in their workday. Yeah. Makes sense. That way. My last question, Amy, is from Meg.

She wants to know what your favorite part about your time at the University of Kentucky was. I love the people, to be honest. I mean,

going from Texas to Kentucky wasn't a giant shift in the culture. Everybody was so nice. Kentucky's beautiful. I loved the horses, the horse tracks. Going to Keenland was amazing.

We did that quite a bit. that atmosphere and that culture of the horse racing is probably what I took away the most. Yeah. Like going to school at UK was fun. The campus was amazing. I loved, I was a cheerleader the first year, so I got to cheer for basketball games, which was really fun. We did football too, but they weren't as near as good as the basketball team, so that was great.

That was like tubby Smith days forever ago, and they were good. So the whole experience was fun. I love Kentucky. That's awesome. Yeah. I've been there once in that area, and it's very underratedly fun. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
