Amy Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are back from the beach for another episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt.

They break down their day-trip that ended with a booger situation and a classic Dale Sr. story. Next, somebody decorated the carpet at the beach house, and everybody is a suspect. Plus, Dale reveals what Nicole told him about her future plans, and how Dale is itching to raise a little hell. Later, we tell some hilarious road trip stories presented by Bass Pro Shops, and fix your messy situations thanks to our friends at Hellmann’s!

Hi, guys, Dale Jr. and I are back in the studio for another episode of Bless Your Heart. I'm excited about our show today. We have some fun topics. We're going to talk about some pickles. You love pickles, don't you? The traffic around Moorsville is drive me crazy. And then we have some funny stories about carpet. Let's get started. The following is a production of Dirty Mo 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 Highcraft? I'm working. Working that mouth. All right, everybody. Today's drink is the Pumpkin Spice White Russian.

We have a couple of those sitting right here. Amy, you give it a shot. See, I won't drink out of it because it's got a little gold around with the room. It's delicious. Put it in a normal cup for me. Mmm. You're missing out. Yeah.

This one's very good. Well, it's the drink of the week presented by High Rock. It's 1.5 ounces of high rock vodka, one and a half ounces of coffee liqueur, and one and a half ounces of pumpkin spice creamer. What is liqueur? I can't say coffee liquor. I don't know. Isn't it liquor? It's not just a liquor. It's like cut and it's got sugar in it, right? Is that correct? Like it's not quite as strong as a typical bottle of liquor. So with liqueur is a specific thing? It's just not a fancy way of saying liquor? I don't think so. I think it's. I think it's. I think it. I think it's two things.

All right. Okay. They're two different things. Yes. Liquor and liquor. I had no idea, I mean. For the pumpkin spice creamer, you need to add one and a half cups of half and half.

One teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Three tablespoons of pumpkin puree. Not pumpkin pie filling. Don't use pumpkin pie filling, it says. Four tablespoons of macs of macs. maple syrup, two teaspoons of vanilla extract. Yes, so that's like a homemade, very indulgent coffee creamer, which is why it tastes so good. Sounds like a lot of work, but probably...

There are a lot of pumpkin pie spice creamers out there. It definitely isn't just... It definitely isn't sun dropping high rock. No, it isn't. This is for like a cozy couch sit, you know what I'm saying? You're going to put a little more effort in than that. And probably just have one, you know. You're going to need to take a vacation after all this.

Lord have mercy. Visit high rock vodka.com to find a bottle near you. Please remember to drink responsibly. You must be 21 or over. That's right. What is the threshold of you're doing too much when it comes to making drinks? I think that it just depends on the person or your mood. What about the Bloody Mary's, you know, with like the chicken and all the crate?

It's like a whole meal stacked on top of it. So here's how I feel about a Bloody Mary. Like the drink is far more important than the accessories. even though the accessories make it look fun. Yeah. But it's got to be like perfectly spicy and not too thick and all the things. Yeah. And if you have a lot of those like snacks laying around and it's an easy grab to stick in your drink, go for it.

But I don't want to like, hey, if I'm drinking a Bloody Mary, I'm probably hung over. I like Bloody Mary's. And then I'm not going to be into all of that extra effort. I like Bloody Mary's. I like the, I like wish, don't they put Worcesters sauce in there? And then pepper and all those things. Hot sauce. I don't care about the celery being in it.

there other than it's a good stir stick I'm going to stir but I'm like not going to eat that otherwise just a sight of celery at that point is not something I don't like I'm hung over I don't want to look at celery you know what I think is repulsive yeah I don't like bacon in my I would love

a piece of bacon in mine so here's the thing the bacon gets squishy and that makes you want to vomit so I like crispy almost burnt bacon I would prefer above bacon I would prefer a stick of jerky boys beef jerky Yes. And I would stir with that.

And it's got peppers on it that could fall into the drink. That's true. And add to your flavor. Yeah. But I don't need nothing else. I don't need no other, I don't need like a chicken wing or nothing. Yeah, I'm not going to eat a chicken wing either. I have seen it where they like stick the little sliders, like tiny little bite-sized things.

That's kind of fun if you're out. But I'm not doing that myself. Yeah. It's too complicated. All right. Have you ever went to speaking? Have you ever went somewhere and ordered the, you know, every kind of some places where you can go eat have the meal where they're like, if you eat all this, you get a T-shirt, or if no one's done this, or only 29 people.

The food competitions? Yeah. Have you ever ordered a dish that was one of those ever? No, of course not. Yeah, just for fun? No. Well, usually they're like 100 bucks. Tomahawk steak.

The Tomahawk steak. No, I've been to a steakhouse in North Texas. The Cadillac Ranch is close by. So I've got to forget what this famous place is. And you have to sit on a stage and there's a timer. Is the Cadillac Ranch a bar? No, the Cadillac Ranch are Cadillacs buried in the sand face up. I don't know.

Yes. You've seen that? Yeah. So people stop and take pictures. It's like in the middle of the desert. That'd be a good bar though. It would be a good name for a bar. It sounds like a fun place.

Yeah. If it were serving drinks. So I've seen that, but the guy didn't accomplish the mission. either. It was a lot of food. It wasn't just steak. It was like a loaded potato and all kinds of size. I've never done that either. I've never ordered the like, yeah, you're not probably going to finish this kind of meal. I don't want, no, I mean. I watched that show though, man versus food. Yeah, that is fun of watch. It made me curious. We've only seen like one guy finish the food. Watching that show, you're like a train wreck. Yeah, it gets gross after a while.

Yeah, after a while though, you're kind of like, yep, I just kind of want you to quit now. I get mad at them when they're so close and they can't finish. You do? Like, come on, man. Mad? Yeah. Oh, I'm sitting there thinking, I don't, I bet this guy feels so terrible. Oh, I'm sure he does, but you signed up and you're so close.

Like, let's finish. Yeah, I don't know. Well, um, what, let's get to some life updates. Speaking, wait, speaking of cheeseburgers, I went to Waterburger. Finally? Finally? And, um. You weren't going to tell me?

Did you not tell me because you thought I would give, you know, have a comment or something? Well, I picked up Nicole from school. and then she and I went to Target to pick something up and I swung through there. I hadn't eaten lunch. I think it was Tuesday. You were here all day. I'm sure as I need a selfie or nothing. I got no notice.

I did take a picture of my cup and the only reason why my food was absolutely delicious. And I was order number 6'7, which I thought was ridiculous, considering the nieces had been here and talking about 6'7 all week. I'm like, look, Katie, I'm order number 67. Yep, yep, yep. The universe is laughing at us. It was delicious. Yeah. I always get the number seven, which is the junior burger.

Uh-huh. And they don't put any... Just because you're married to a junior? No. No? Because it's smaller. I felt like it was plenty for me. Oh.

And then Nicole ate the French fries. Mm-hmm. So it was delicious. Everybody go check it out. But order number 6-7. I thought that was funny. I still don't know what it means. I don't either.

But Nicole's saying it now, too, and she's doing her hands like 6-7. Where did the hand thing come from? I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea. I don't get it. That's younger than me. It's too young for you too.

We have talked about this on the show before. Is this serious? I'm trying to remember in my mind. My mind doesn't have all the information. Go get it. It's in there in the back. File runner. Run faster.

I was watching 50 Cent talk about how he bought. They were like, They were like, man, what's one thing you regret? And he's like buying Mike Tyson's mansion. And he's like, what? Why did you regret that? He's like, man, you ever look down a hallway and be like, yep, I don't even want to go down there. I don't know.

I don't know what's going on down there, but it's just, I don't even, it's too far. It's his own house. Yes. And that's what my brain is like. It's like, I know it's back there, but that's a long ways to go. I'm just not even. My brain is just like, yeah, we've got that information, but we're not going to find it today. It's going to be withheld.

Yeah That's what's happening right at this moment Okay So we're just going to abort mission Yeah We might find it It'll pop out of the room later Come down the hall on its own

And then chime in Golly, four days off Yeah Like your brain's a big giant filing cabinet Right Yeah Or maybe a hall corridor With multiple rooms

Full of filing cabinets Now I'm thinking At that movie That Disney Pixar movie With all the emotions Oh With all the bubbles? Oh, yes, yes.

And then they're filing anything is away. Yeah. I bet we could ask chat GTP to create the photo of what my brain looks like and compare, you know, with that. With those images. With that movie in mind. Oh, man. I might have to try that. I bet it can do it.

Yeah, but I can. Do it while you're in the deer stand. That'll give you something. Yeah, I'm going hunting. So we were, I was going to talk about pickles. We, I'm trying to make this make sense because people were going to be like, oh my gosh. We've talked about the pickles. It's Butler's Orchard.

And our friend. Butler's Orchard. Butler's Orchard. The Butler family. And they're out of Germantown, Maryland. And so our friend down in South Carolina, who is our contractor, his sister-in-law, her family are the butlers. And so he'll go up for Christmas or whatever and then go to the, the farm and he always would bring us back pickles and like he started out just bringing us a variety

of this of that and Dale fell in love with the pickles and he's talked about him the garlic and all that stuff in them did you bring any by the way I forgot so these listen I've ate a lot of pickles in my life and I became a I became a big fan of deal pickles through our water burger in canapples North Carolina dad would we ordered water burger every day when we were at dad's shop it was lunch. For lunch. And I would always get a side of pickles. And they came in this little paper cup, and they were so pungent and so deal.

And it was like, damn, I need this. I need this in my life every day. And so, you know, I haven't really found pickles that were that good. Whatever those sliced hamburger pickles that our Waterburger, the North Carolina Waterburger chain, uses, they're amazing. And so I've been a fan of deal of pickles ever since. Yeah. He brings us these pickles.

and I'm, you know, I'll be honest. He's skeptical about all the things. I'm sure you're aware of that. Yeah. Like somebody says, hey, try this. It's great. I'm like, yeah, wait. Yeah, I'm sure it isn't, but I'll try it for you.

Yeah. I've heard this before. Yeah, right. And these just knocked a socks off. They are insane. They are, they are insane. There is no other pickle or the juice that tastes like this. No.

It is the most pungent vinegar pickle I've ever tasted. There's garlic. I think there's some onions. There's palipinos in the jar. And so even the juice is like gold. After he gets done with the pickles, I use the juice for marinating chicken or whatever. We'll leave the empty. I'll make dirty martinis with it.

We'll leave the empty. Where else do you leave the empty jar of the pickle juice so that you can then drink that over the course of time? Like I'll walk over and just take a little swig like I'm drinking moonshine. It's like this stuff is so good. He's addicted. You're like, all right, we ain't got any pickles, but I know I can get the sensation. I can get a hit from the juice. I can get a little hit from this juice.

And it's me like, I almost like having a pickle until we get some more pickles. Yeah. Because you can't, they don't ship. And so we'll eat these pickles and then we're out. And then we're just talking about them and thinking about them. We're waiting on max to go back to Maryland. And then that's how good they are. They're that good.

Yeah. So he got down to, we were at the beach last week for fall break and he gets down to his last jar. And then he asks me because I leave, I'll leave a day later. He takes the kids to Talladega and I drive home. He's like, don't forget that jar of pickles. Well, guess what? I forgot the jar of pickles. And it's half open.

And it's in the fridge. So, yeah, I forgot the jar of pickles. And he gets to the house, and he's like, you forgot the pickles in you. I was like, yeah, I forgot the pickles. But also, Kobe's birthday is tomorrow. And the only thing he asked for were those pickles and some jerky boys. And he's like, well, we don't have any. I'm like, I know, but we've got this block of time on Wednesday.

And we could just fly up to Maryland and go to the farm ourselves. Yeah. And so that's what we did. We flew to Germantown, Maryland to run pickles. To the Butler's Orchard. Yes. I felt like Elvis Presley, man. In the middle of the night, Elvis Presley, the stories that you hear, you don't know whether it's true or not, but, you know, that could be embellished.

But Elvis would get his cronies and be like, let's go. And am I a crony now? Let's go. We're going to go get that fried bacon sandwich that I love on the West Coast. You know, he would fly hours in his plane to go have a food dish that he was craving. Yes. Like, you know, just really unnecessary. Yeah, if I find Elvis, I have a chef that's just going to make that for me.

Well, he also, he did. He had, Elvis, one of Elvis's favorite meals was like a half pound of bacon sandwich or some. That sounds like something Iloody. Yeah. And he would do, he would do peanut butter and banana fried. Yeah. Like he would get a peanut butter and a banana sandwich and make it and fry it. Like a grillet fry?

I don't know if it's skillet fried or dump it, dump it fry. I don't know. But. But everything in this man ate is no wonder why he died on a toilet. But I'm just saying. So we're going to stick with vinegar. He was trying, though, man. And keep our pipes clean.

Hey, he just came from the racquetball court. I know all this. I'm a big Elvis friend. He was trying to get right. Trying to work out. Trying to get that bacon fat. He played a little racquetball. And then he sat down and played a song on a piano.

And then he went to the bathroom. And that was that. But it was a good experience. The family is amazing. And we bought everything. They had donuts. What are they called? Apple cider donuts.

Like a cake donut and they're covered in cinnamon and sugar. It's so good. We bought so many things. We should have brought some to share. We should have brought some to be able to like show and tell. Sorry. But. And share with our friends.

That would have been preferable for Butler's Orchard as well. Yeah. Been able to show you what we're talking about. But they were incredibly nice. Yeah. And they have a store. It's like indoor general store. all kinds of toys and all kinds of fun stuff.

Anything you could think of as far as like spreads and cream, you know, what, you know. They have local honey. All these are from maple syrup, strawberry syrup, strawberry syrup, blueberry syrup. Yeah. Elderberry, they have elderberry jam. I got some of that. You got something in your nose? I do.

I got hair tickling in there. You get old and your nose hairs grow like crazy. We were talking about this the other day. So I get these boogers in my nose. I mean, everybody has boogers. Don't look at me like I'm weird. But I get them in the corners of my nose. Who has corners in their nose?

Do you have corners? I don't have corners in my nose. I get them stuck right here. I get them right there. And that didn't happen until I was getting married to Amy and we're at our wedding. And this lady says, all right, we're going to, you know. She waxed the nose hairs. She's going to wax our nose hairs.

And she had these little tiny. little surfboards and she put some wax on it and stuck it in my nose and so we got little surfboards stigging out of our nose surfboards? And the glue dries and she comes by there.

A tongue suppressor like a wooden stick? Yeah, she comes, but they're tiny surfboards. She comes by there and grabs that, pulls it out of there and it yanked all the hair out of my nose. Luckily I didn't die and I could have died. But that would have been the hell of way to

Oh, that'd been worse than Elvis on the toilet. Ever since then, my nose hairs have been like, yeah, you know them up now because we're going to be growing much faster and much longer than we ever grew before. Especially in the front corners of his nose. And so now I'm trimming them and they're like, yeah, you're just, you're just, you know, making the problem worse with that tremor, man. You're just, we're going to keep growing.

Like, the more you cut stuff, you know. Thinker comes back. That's what they say. I mean, I was shaving when I was 12. I wasn't growing, no. I didn't any peach fuck. or nothing, but I was shaving just to try to try to cut some hair, just to try to get it

to grow faster. Listen, I don't know if this is really the reason your boogers get caught in the front of your nose like they are. But Amy, we're sitting in the car and Amy's like, you ain't tissue? I'm like, yeah. I'm like, you know what? I do have some tissue. He thought I was asking for myself. I know. I'm opening

up my console. I think it's going to be like this glowing light tissue. By the way, his console is full of shit. It's like, it's like a 7-Eleven. He's got like tissues. He's got Sharpies, he's got certs, he's got gum, he's got all kinds of jerky. He's got it. And it's organized. I got a little Bluetooth speaker, whatever we need. I got, if we need to break out of something or break into something, I got all the stuff.

He's got all the tools. So I'm like, man, yes, of course I got, I got some tissue for you. She's like, good, you got a bugger in your nose. I'm like, God dang. Man, we went from hero to zero. Now I'm over there like, okay. Full of my boogers. The thing about Dale, too, is, like, he doesn't want you to make him feel like a clown. So I waited until we were by ourselves to tell him. And he had it in his nose for a while. Oh, my God.

While I was at Butler's, I'm with the people. No. They're all like, oh, man, this guy's awesome, but the boogers. So, like, in the car, he sits on my left. And in the plane, you sit on my right. So I wasn't staring at it until I got in a car. I had that thing the whole time. I was at the Butler's Orchard.

Between you and your nose. You and your corners. I don't think so. I'd have seen it at the store, but yeah. Surely one of those people would have been like in the tissue. Is it a deal? When you realize that you're with somebody who is the kind of person that will not tell you, you have a booger hanging out of your nose,

where does your, where does your, where's your feeling around that person go? I don't know. It just depends on how much you're around that person. I do not. Like I want them to be honest, but I also don't want them to be honest, but I also don't want them to like, I want them to be discreet about it. Absolutely. Yeah.

Absolutely discreet. But if you're, I've been around people for hours that I consider friends. Yeah. And they haven't said anything. That are not the kind of, that are, they're just like, hey, I'm not that kind of person. I'm not going to tell you. Do you think it's, it's not about all's friendship. I think it's about their, their willingness to like.

How could you not tell? I don't have. I think being a friend. That's part of being a friend. That's part of, that's in the contract. It's in the, yeah. That's in the written contract of friendship. even to lose friendships, it's in there, down in the fine print.

Like, you must say, I have a, if I've got a bugger, you've got to tell me. Yeah, so I'm not shy. So unless it's like a random person I don't know passing by in the store. If my fly's down. Come on. So that's always a risky move. With always, there's all these little things in there. Yeah.

Bugger in the nose, flies down. Something in your teeth. Something in your teeth. Yeah. Your breasting? Is that too far? I don't know about breasting. Maybe you're too close.

That's in the very close friendship contract. Yeah. Wouldn't you say? Yes. Yeah. So, hey, we got some pickles. We got some pickles. We'll bring some next week and share with everybody.

Isn't them pickles or something? You did meet a really sweet lady that was a fan of years and your dad. She had her girls, junior, show on. I'm terrible with this, so I'm sorry, but I believe her name was Chris. Okay. But she's been a fan. She's worked at Butler's Orchard for 20-some years. She's been a fan forever.

I gave her my phone number. She said she has some friends here, like, Norman. I'm like, when you come down, shoot me a tag. I'll get you to the shop. We'll show you around. They were so great to us. That's true. But she did have a great story about your dad.

She said she met Dale Sr. in Daytona? At the gas station? Yes, Daytona. He was getting gas at the gas pumps, the race car. He's in his race car. In my mind, this happened at like the corners. They used to have gas pumps just like a gas station at the racetracks, Unicow 76.

You'd push your car over there, and that's how you got gas in your car. Yeah. And so you could be around the gas pumps and see all the drivers at some point and get to be able to look at all the cars and everything. It's a good place to stand. She's standing there. Hey, Dale! And he's like, come over here.

And he's in his car. And apparently he waved her over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Yeah, she leaned in. He kissed her on the cheek. She said, it made her day, made her life. Yeah, and she still very vividly remembers that story. I was kind of waiting for you to give her a kiss yesterday. Just giving the other cheek.

You didn't, but she was very sweet. She had a really good day. Yeah, it was cool. That was, that was, that crossed my mind for like a split second, but I was like, man, I don't know how to pull that off. Probably shouldn't do that. I don't know. What if she turns her, what if she turns her head as you're going in?

You know what to me? Like that would be very awkward. Or everyone there could go. Me too. Me too. I'm next. Or, how dare you? Oh, you think?

I don't know. I don't think anybody never have done that. I don't know. They might have lined up, though. Yeah, I don't know. Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest bless your heart gear, go to shop.dirtymomedia.com.

We've got plenty of options for everybody and adding new stuff every day. Go to shop. Dot dirtymomedia.com. I want to talk about the carpet. I've said this before. You can't have anything nice in our house. I think that we've had a pretty good show this far.

You sure you're wanting to do this? Yeah, I do. We're at the beach house. It's fall break. And I've been missing Jumbug terribly. But I'm in the laundry room and I'm thinking, how cool is it? It's been real, real relaxed. It's so nice that we can come down here and hang out without worrying about him peeing on the carpet.

Because you have to always worry about that. He peed everywhere all over the place. Decorated everything. Every... Except the staircase, which we just had covered with carpet going up to the girls' room because they're wooden stairs. So I turned the corner because I'm getting the laundry out. I'm going to put the laundry on the stairs to fold it. And there's this giant wet spot in the landing.

And I'm like, what in the, is that? Like, lose my mind. And I turn and I look, and Nicole has no clothes on. She had just gotten out of the bathtub. I'm like, you, I knew she peed. I could tell why I looked on her face. And Dale's like, no way she peed on the floor. And he comes over and he goes, smell it.

I'm like, I'm not smelling it. That is not my first move. It is his first move every time. Let's smell it. I'm like, you get your face in that and smell it. I did. I didn't smell anything. He didn't smell anything.

So I get a towel, I'm soaking it up, and I call her over and tell immediately that she did it. And she confesses that she peed, and I'm like ripping her about it. Like, you know this is not where you pee, blah, blah, so we're soaking it up. Wait, how did you soak it up? This was freaking amazing. I've seen tricks where you can get any liquid out of carpets with baking soda. So I had this giant bag of baking soda, and I poured it all over the top of baking soda. Yeah.

And then I put a towel over it just so everybody could wash. walk around or walk on it. And let it sit for like an hour or something. And Dale got to shop back and we vacuumed it up. Vacumed right up. It vacuumed right up. No staining. No circle.

No nothing. Nothing. So, I'm grateful for that. But still not sure why the five-year-old peed on the floor in the carpet. Like out of all the places to pee, the custom carpet that you can't pull up to clean under. Like, really? The fucking stair carpet.

This is the concern for me, I think, is. so Ila our first child she's a rule follower she does a really good job she has her moments but she does a really good job she's above average in all the metrics of being sweet rule follower

doesn't do anything too crazy Nicole is below average on all metrics and she does all these things in spite and she does things to she knows your she does it because she's like I don't you're not my boss I'm in control I don't like you to have control I don't want to do what some nobody's telling me what to do and she's not saying these things but this is what's wrapped running in her mind's the second child a second child mentality you can just see her coming yeah she she's like I'm like you know we're like why did you pee there

not in the bathroom she's like I had to go I didn't I just had to go so I went there and it's like but this is the floor and it's carpet and you know it's not where you need to go. But that I can't understand. My mind cannot grasp why she did that and didn't. She has no shame. She didn't come tell me like, hey, mom, I had an accident. Doesn't care. And I mean, you know, your punishment, you're thinking about all right, I need to, we got to have a repercussion here.

This person absolutely doesn't care. this happened. She will absolutely do it again. What is the level of punishment that might alter her path forward? And how do I, you're like, you're weighing in your own personal mind, at least I am, Amy, is like, I want to punish her. I do want to. I knew she needs a punishment. She needs repercussions, but I don't want to push it too far. Yeah, same. So like in that moment, like I was frustrated with her. We've had plenty of conversations about the bathroom. and the things. And so I was telling her, like, you know this is not where you're supposed to go to the bathroom.

Yeah. We can't get her to figure this out. She just doesn't care. She doesn't care. And she doesn't care about getting in trouble. It's not just peeing. It's other things. I didn't, I'm like, I don't really know what to do. Yeah, I don't know.

I feel like shame for her doesn't even work. Like, you can't even shame her into feeling, oh, I don't want to do that again. Yeah. You know what I mean? So I don't know. I'm out of loss. I am too. We cleaned it up, and that was God's grace gave us a lot.

little bit of a little bit of a ticket of grace just of getting it up you know what I mean but I'm thinking like man if this is what's going on at 5 when she's 15 20 you know when she's really

able to jump in a car and drive down the road you know how she'll figure it out by then she's not going to do all those things but she's not going to pee in the floor I'm not worried about I'm not talking about just peeing in the floor I'm just saying like At that point, her lack of not giving a shit, she don't give a shit.

I'm thinking, man, if this is, this is like ingrained and this is like a core ingrained personality kind of thing. DNA? You think it's DNA? Well, I don't know. I mean, it's just something that she's going to carry forward. It's all, we're all, we're going to notice this. We're going to recognize this in all the years forward. And I'm like, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that. Yeah, that's a deep question. I'm just saying... Yeah, I don't know. I'm hoping she just starts to learn. She's only five. I'm hoping she starts to learn from her mistakes.

And that it will be fine. She's going to be tough. She's going to be scrappy. She's going to figure out how to do things. She's only five, but those, these things that are, there's these personality traits that are, like, fixed and grain. They're like unchanging. You're not going to adjust them. No, they always say the second kid is a little bit more bold like that.

But I feel like some of us a DNA thing. You know what she did? The other day, we're right. around the back car though and she did tell us she wants to be a doctor yeah wow i was like hell yes please do a doctor be a doctor it's a good story when she's in law uh med school then i'm like at a time she gets through medical school you're going to really need it i was thinking there about 24 hours before we was going to find you in jail at some point so being a doctor sounds amazing yeah he really very much supported that idea so speaking of speaking of people having accidents

Dale hung out and watched Football One night Thursday night football I went to bed I text him It's like Can I?

No you're not going to derail this story I'm not going to derail I just want to say that I went upstairs We have a little bar And I went upstairs I watched a little Thursday night Football

And I was like I'm jumping into gas Which means he's going to drink All the beer in the fridge And so yeah So I go over to the beer cooler and I go, I need to finish all these. We don't need to leave these here,

because I don't know when I'm coming back. And so I drank about 12 beers. Some of my buddies were playing. I have a feeling that he had a mixed drink in there or two, that he doesn't recall. 12 beers. I had 12 beers. And some of my buddies were playing some Xbox NCAA.

We have our dynasty going on. And so TJ was playing another. guy to see who could go to the national championship so we were all streaming that and there's like eight or ten of us on there we're i'm just in my i'm in heaven at this i'm in heaven i have one money in this silly stupid bet and i'm watching my buddies play video games and talking and things got i got carried away i had quite a few drinks yeah so it's almost two o'clock and i text him because the girls get up at seven doesn't matter what time he goes to bed and It's their last day also with him because he's getting ready to leave.

So I wanted to make sure that he got to bed at a reasonable time so he could get up and play. At some point during the day. So anyways, I text him, I'm like, hey, man, the kids are going to be up in five hours. And he's like, I don't know if you responded or not. I don't remember even. I just texted you. Did I read that text? Yes, you read the text.

Yes, you did write back and you said, I don't know why I can't just stop. And then you said something else. And that moment, I didn't. thought he was still upstairs in the bar and so I didn't know what he was talking about and I wasn't about to start asking questions and so I just put my phone down because I can hear him walk you know I've talked about how loud you walk and yeah so you're I'm in an addition I'm not even in the house she's in I can hear him walking around in the house at home when I'm outside by the pool what the hell you are a stomper anyway so I know that he's moving because I can hear him walking

so he's going to come towards the bedroom yep so he turns the porch lights off he comes inside closes the door very quietly. He trips a little bit. He comes into the bedroom and literally walks half of his body into the corner post of this. We have this big framed bed. He walks straight into the bed,

which is not typical. Even if he's been up that late, he's not usually like stumbling and like hitting the bed. I had a little shoulder injury for a couple days. Yeah. Landrum.

He's acting like he's going to get in the bed without brushing his teeth. And I'm like, uh-uh, go brush your teeth. Like I'm awake, of course. Go brush your teeth. Don't we're not going to do this. So he goes, okay. And he goes into the bathroom, doesn't turn a single light on.

And it's about 20 minutes in there. I don't need to. So I've learned how to. I think it took him forever because he couldn't see it. No, no, no. And when I use the bathroom and I had this light at home too. So I love this thing. On the little mirror?

Yeah. So I go into the bathroom. We have this light at home and at the mirror at the beach house. So I go to it and it's a motion. So if I take my finger and. and circle the outside of light, it turns on. And then I can use that light to brush my teeth. And so I don't have to turn on like lights in the bathroom.

So everybody's like, oh, you know, we're up. Well, I thought you were in there just fumbling around. Probably, yes. I was still fumbling around. Because it took you a while. Yeah. And he comes back and he gets in bed. Everything's fine.

Well, a couple hours later, I wake up because he has gotten out of the bed. And I can feel that he had gotten out of the bed. and I look up from my pillow, and he's right in front of me on my side of the bed, and he had pulled this wooden stool that we have at the end of the bed, which is like one of those super skinny, like long, it's hard to sit on no matter what. Sawhorse. He pulls it open like it's a gate, sits down on it. And after he sits, he goes to reach for his underwear, and I started hollering at him.

I'm like, no, that's not the toilet. Get up. And he's like, I got to go to the bathroom. I'm like, not there. not there you don't and he's facing me he's not facing the other way and so he gets up and he scuffs at me and like walks off and he walks into the living room he was about to sit on the wicker ottoman and pee there i was like dude get up get the fuck up you cannot pee there you cannot pee there and he's like amy quit cussing at me then get in the bathroom golly like i'm guiding him to the right

direction and he used the bathroom and came back and has no recollection of this I don't remember that. I was like, dang, dude, what did you get into? I wasn't. I wasn't. But speaking of Nicole having an issue and like maybe later in life it being something that happens. I mean, I know that people do that when they get drunk. It's, I've heard plenty of stories.

I peed in the closet once accidentally. We were. You were not. You were at a friend's house. Yeah, it's a friend's house. There's a big party. We had drank a lot of beer and I dove into this. I don't, we had, it's a long story, but I had.

This is a lot of Easter eggs in this story too. We drank a lot of beer. I ended up having to go to the hospital to get my head sewed up because I busted my head open. And then, so I don't know whether that had the beer and the doctor's like, don't go to sleep. You might have a concussion. So we went back after I got my forehead sewed up, we went back and kept drinking. Yeah. And this is what you do in your 20s.

Yeah. And so I might have been in my 30s. No, you weren't. But I think so. Really? And so early 30s. Might as well been in my 20s. I was a late bloomer.

So I don't know if I really might have had a concussion or whatever, but my buddy woke me up mid pee. He's like hollering at me. Hey, you're peeing in the, because I just opened the closet and walked like into the door jam and just start peeing. But it was in an unfinished sort of, sort of empty loft. Yeah. And you were in there with a few people hanging out just like everybody just,

crashed on the floor. Yeah. There was one, two other people in there. It wasn't a lot of people. Just my buddy and his girlfriend. And he was like, hey, God dang, you're peeing in the closet. I'm like, oh, you know, I kind of woke up, snapped out of it. Yeah.

But I was asleep. You know, you're sleep walking. You don't know where the hell you're at. And I was at a party one time where there were, I was in a room with a, there were people like in the floor and people sleeping in the closet. and a buddy of mine stood up right and he stood, he was sleeping on the floor

and he stood up and peed right there. Oh, really? I wonder why he even stood up. Like, why don't you just pee in your sleep on yourself if you're not going to even walk? You know what I mean? Have you ever done that? Yeah.

You have? All the time. Maybe it's like a guy thing. I think it's absolutely a guy thing. I can't imagine a girl doing this. No, I don't remember ever hearing a story of a girl doing that. I can't remember. I've probably done it before, but I can't remember.

You only know you've done it if you get, you only know you've done it if you get caught. Yeah, that's true. Because, I mean, you wake up that next morning, you're like, yeah, could have peed in the house somewhere. Maybe half of those spots on the carpet weren't actually Junebug. It was you. Yeah. This one's rather large. There may be one or two times I've peed in our house and we just don't know it.

Hence why we can't have anything nice. You just didn't catch me. And I didn't wake up. I'm sorry. I mean. Yeah, you should be. You should apologize for that. I'm glad you caught me.

Me too. Got me to where I was supposed to go. I'd have gotten a new road. One thing is, like, I don't understand how I'm not awake. I don't know either. I don't sleepwalk. I'm not like. Because I remember.

I remember. I remember going to bed. I remember brushing my teeth. I remember you going, Matt, you're not going to sleep. Because I mean, it's late. I'm like, fuck it. I'm just lay down.

I'll get up in the morning. I'm going to brush my teeth in five hours. What to f***. Yeah. And I remember all that. Yeah. I still got to raise some hell. I still feel like I got to raise a little more hell.

I've been feeling, I was like driving around this morning. Like, man, I got to feel like I want to raise some hell. Go sit in a deer stand and kill a deer. Like that. That's not it. I don't, why don't you need. It's not because you need to raise hell.

You just need an adrenaline rush. You just need to like, you're so used to racing in the adrenaline and all the stuff that comes with that. And just being regular is kicking your ass. Yeah, it's boring. You don't have to do that. You said something to me in the car yesterday, and then you thought I was crazy for not responding. Yeah. Can we talk about that for a second?

Yeah. So we're driving back from the pickles to the airport, and he says, I'm going to put these pickles inside the plane just so that we don't have this. any issues with them getting broken. And I say nothing. Well, if you put the pickles in the back, they could pop. You know, like any kind of compression. Yeah.

They're not, they're, that area. So I'm thinking, man, we got, we came all this way. We got all this. I'm going to put it up in the compartment with us so it doesn't explode. Yeah. But he says that, you've had your toothpaste. Which seems like a perfectly rational thought. And instead of me responding, giving my opinion, or arguing or whatever, I didn't

say anything. Like he didn't, it didn't warrant a response in my opinion because he didn't ask me a question. And he didn't say anything that made me think, oh, I need to stop that or talk about that. That seems like it needs work. You know what I mean? And so he's like, um, is that okay? I'm like, what do you want me to say? You, you made your choice and it seems like a fine choice. What do you want for me? He's like, I just think it's so weird that like you could say something to someone. And then they just don't even respond to you. He said, Tony Jr. used to do that. me on the damn radio. I'd say something for, I'm loose, da-da-da-da-da. And he'd not even respond. I'm like, well, you didn't ask me a question. Like, what do you want me to say? You know?

Like, he always needs, like, the affirmations. And then he said something in Nicole this morning. And she just turns and look at him and then she just turns back to the TV. I said, how did the new, we got her a new bed. Yeah. I said, how did the new bed sleep last night? She just looked at me and then went back to the TV. I was like, damn, I thought it was just Amy. But I guess it's not just Amy. No, well, he actually asked her a question. I just laughed at it. Because I asked her the same thing, of course, when she woke up and I got a response out of her.

But I don't know. Does anybody else do that? Do you ever? This happened all. I raced for 10 years with Tony Jr. And other crew chiefs this happened with. You did driving your ass off out there. You feel like you're on an island by yourself in that race car fighting that thing.

And you're like, you know, you're just giving feedback. Like, all right, it's tight right now. All right, 10 laps later. Man, it's gotten looser. It's starting to turn. You know, you're just saying stuff. And you need your, it's like a CB radio. You want them to go 10 for good buddy.

Something, anything. 10 4, good buddy. Something, right? Just some sort of, I heard you. I got you. I heard you. Yeah. And they wouldn't.

And Tony Jr. did it all, did this shit all the time. And I think once he learned it really got under the skin. He did it on purpose. Yeah. Especially when he was annoyed with me. Yeah. And that has now. like imprinted.

And so when we're riding, we're riding around or we're in the kitchen or whatever we're doing, and I'm like, I think I'm a blah, blah, blah. And Amy's just like, it's not in her, it's not in her DNA to be like, cool, okay, good idea.

Well, if I don't think it's cool, I am not going to respond with that. You know, if you want to go do whatever it is you're doing, go for it. Especially, like, here's the thing. You just like to talk about everything. You need affirmations. about all your choices and I am not that way.

If I made a decision, I am doing it. You don't know about it unless I need your help, right? I don't like to. Well, this was my, this was my reasoning on this in this example, and this is applied to every other example. I was like, you know what? If I don't say this riding in the car, we're going to get to the, we're going to get to the airport. and when I start loading 10 cardboard boxes into the passenger compartment,

and you may go, you may not, you may go, why are you putting all this in here? Why is it not going in the back? Then we, now we're having a conversation that could have been avoided by the moment in the car. So it's the same conversation. It's just situationally happening in one place versus another. I was thinking that the one in the plane happening could potentially be in. He's worried about damage control.

Lee, yeah. That has more potential to turn into an argument than just us going down the road. Why would I argue with you about where you're putting the damn pickles? Why would I do that? It's an example of other, but you apply this to all things. And so I was just trying to think, I was just trying to be like, hey, I think this is a good idea. Well, next time I'm going to say 10-4, good buddy. That's exactly what I'm going to say.

10-4, good buddy. Well, I wonder if it's like that. I wonder if other people are in relationships, right, where they are like, you know, my partner's the same way or I'm that way. I'm not, you know, I don't feel like that everything needs a response. Yeah, I don't want everybody's opinion. So I ain't asking unless I really want it. Or I'm not going to put that out there unless I really want your opinion,

which I guess you did want my opinion. But I feel like you like to talk everything through. I do. Yeah, I'm not like that. We have a new segment. Are we there yet? It's actually a continuation of the Bass Pro Shops segments that we've been doing. North America's Premier Outdoor and Conservation Company, that's Bass Pro Shops.

Plan your next adventure at a Bass Pro Shops near you or online at BassPro.com. We want a little bit different layout for our living area. We've been... Yeah, we need more space. We got a damn very introduction model. We need less sleeping room. more living space. We got a real basic introduction,

low-end model to sort of get our legs and understand how things work. And it's time to ramp up just a little bit. But anyways, do you have a good or bad road trip story? I have road trip stories. The only camping experience I have with my dad is him putting up tents in the backyard for us to camp.

I had two little sisters. And he was like, ain't no way I'm taking y'all camping. He just knew that that was, already a bad idea. So he's like, we're going to test it out in the backyard. And of course, we got up and came in house in the middle of the night, just because we could probably. But it was fun. And so, like, if we went anywhere with dad, he always kind of had that forethought, like, I'm going to do the least path, path of least resistance. So if we went on a long

road trip, like, he drove us all the way to Orlando to go to Disney. He would drive us to Galison or wherever we would do, like, family trips. And he worked shift work. So he was real easy, it was really easy for him to stay up all night long. So he put us in the car, we got in our PJs, and we would drive at night. And so going to Orlando, I remember we had a sperm and we put all the seats down. Like this is back when the rules were very loose. Or people were just far more. Yeah. We just made a giant bed out of the back. And I would sleep on the back couch and the other two were in the floor. And he had gotten a little portable TV that had a VCR built into it. And so we would just play movies and like lounge in the back of the car. And it was like the coolest thing ever.

And he drove most of those legs at night, so we didn't have to, like, ask him every 20 seconds. Like, are we there yet? Where are we? You know, after pee, whatever. He just avoided all that all together. So pro tip. Yeah. Drive at night.

We used to ride around in these comfort coach vans. They were conversion vans, custom vans, the motorized back seat that would lay down into a bed, the big swivel chairs in the middle. This things are awesome. A shagging wagon. I've been trying to get one. And there was one that popped up three months. months ago that was they're so cheap and I'm like look this Amy but uh said no please don't do

she said no we've already bought a boat but uh I was like I probably don't need it I wanted to drive it South Carolina to the beach house and the kids be like look look back I could look back there and it'd be like looking in my own childhood I know why do we have to redo all those things why do we do that I love doing that I love being I love like nostalgia and all this stuff so that's like I love that so I'm going to do that as much like can. But I know it's not your thing. But we were, I was in one of these driving down the road. And the back, I'm in one with a friend. His name is Mike Whitcomb. His dad, Bob, owned the purulator car that Derek Cope drove. I'm riding in their van to a race. Bristol. It's about

an hour and a half drive. We're going down the road. We're in the back of that damn van messing around, bored of death. Those back windows is big back windows. They slide, right? They flipped open. Like, they had these two little clamps. You uncamped them, and it would open the window this way. Uh-huh.

And so the bottom would have a big, you know, you could stick your arm out, right? My dumb ass. What'd you do? My dumb ass, I think, man, you know what? It'd be cool if it's aerodynamic if I clamped the front. side of the window and open the back side and then it's like it's a wing. Oh my God. And I start to make that thing do that and it's twisting that glass.

You're bending? I'm bending the glass window. The big glass window. I'm clamping the front and opening the back and flexing it and it's shattered. How old are you? 14. Yeah. The damn window exploded.

And now we're going down the estate and the window is not gone, not there. and they're, you know, his, his brother or, you know, mom and dad or whatever, somebody's up front. I don't remember who's in this thing. And they're like, what in the hell just happened? Yeah. And I'm like, oh, no. You don't know? I don't know, I don't know what just happened.

I don't know what just happened. Oh, I was so embarrassed. That's where Nicole gets it. That's why you're scared. Yeah. You're like, she's really not going to grow out of this. This is, like, who she is for life. She's going to break van windows.

I would thought you were going to say that you clamped your buddy's arm in it or something. No. Smashed his arm. I could tell some of those stories. Oh, that's not, I got a, yeah. How did you recover from that? I was just so embarrassed. Did your dad have to buy them in your window?

I was so embarrassed. I was just so embarrassed. It was embarrassed. You're like, I don't know how it played out after that. I just got out and ran off. But, um, You know, I didn't get in real trouble. I didn't get my ass whooped or anything like that.

But man, I was, I, even today, I still feel the shame. I'm embarrassed of it. That is our, are we there yet? Bass Pro segment. The Earnhardt family's always relied on Bass Pro for our outdoor adventures, and that tradition continues with us today. Be sure to check out Bass Pro shops. Whether you're going fishing, camping, hunting, I'm heading to the woods here this weekend. You can find everything you need at your nearest BassPro shop store and shop online as well at

BassPro.com. All right. Let's do our fixing segment presented by Helmans. This has been a fun one. The last couple of shows we've tried to help some folks out. Yeah, these guys have some crazy stories situations that people get into. Yeah, this is brought to you by Helmand's mayonnaise made with real quality ingredients. It's a lifesaver in the kitchen.

Grab a jar next time of you're out. Check out Helmans.com for recipes. Great recipes on there as well. You can fix just about anything. may have going on. So everybody gets themselves into messes. Everybody gets some situations that are bad. You need somebody to tell you exactly how to make it right. Me and Amy, I feel like I've been doing a good job of that in our fixing segment. So listeners have sent in their most disastrous moments. Let's start figuring out if we can help some people today. Yeah, what's our first story?

This first one actually is very fitting for this episode. My five-year-old daughter is still in pull-ups. We've tried everything but no luck. Any tips? I think just take the pull-up. off and let her go anywhere. I think so too, yeah. So when you're potty training anyway, which usually happens between two and three, or it did it in our house, um, um, you have to let them just be completely naked so that they feel what that feels like to pee and have to do something with it, right? And so that sometimes that process takes a week. They say to

give it a long weekend, but sometimes that process takes like a week. Sometimes it takes a little longer. It just depends on your kid. Um, but we never really, so what I tried to do, do we did pull-ups at night and then we transitioned out of that as quickly as we could like if there's going some accidents there's going to be some accidents as soon as your kid starts you like going all night long in a diaper without peeing they're ready to sleep without anything like they know how to hold it right so that's kind of your gauge for potty training anyway so if i don't know if your child's having an issue peeing in a pull-up are they wearing first of all it depends on if they're

wearing it all the time or if they're just wearing it a night. But I say you just have to go for it and take it off. Like the kid's going to figure it out. Yeah. And if they don't, there might be something else going on. You know what I mean? Like dreams or whatever that's making that happen. But I don't think that like that's a very easy fix. Just get rid of them. It's like the same thing with a pacifier. You just look it and let them whine for a week, you know? I think so. Yes. I agree. I couldn't add anything better. I mean, you're the, you're the expert pro at all that anyways. easier. It's always up to you to make things like that stop. Yeah. All right. I agree. Next one. My wife likes to accomplish the little handyman things around the house, like hang a curtain, fix a drawer,

something along those lines. But every time she does, I end up having to redo it because it's crooked. The drawer doesn't close all the way or just doesn't look right. She gets discouraged and sad, and I'm stuck feeling like an ass. What should I do? Leave it crooked or fix it when she's not home. in parentheses, she's always home. Oh, I was going to say fix it when she's not home. Create a spa day for her and then fix the things when she's not home. I can attest to liking to do things like that myself, but I have learned that I'm not the best at it.

You know, like there are certain things I can do, but for the most part, I'm going to ask him to help me. And if he doesn't know how to do it, I'm going to expect that there might be a little flub or something, but he'll fix it. Dale is willing to screw it up to fix it. fix it. You know what I mean? I'm not. Because I don't know how to fix most things that I need as help what's to begin with. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. That's hard. Teach her do it with her.

I think I say maybe teacher might be the way to go. It just depends on what it is. Like, messing with cabinetry and woodworking, that's not something that, like, you need some help. Right. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I, I, when I first started asking him to fix things, he was like, I don't know how to do that. I was like, you will figure it out. You're a mechanic. You know how to do lots of things. Just try.

Now it's like whatever. And now he's like master plumber over here. Now I've got my hands on things she doesn't want me to mess with. Yeah, now I got to, yeah. Now we're back to the story. I go to sleep and he starts tinkering with shit. Yeah. I think, you know, I like to, I think it's fun to kind of see.

I think he should just let her keep trying and fix it. Yeah, just let her keep trying. Go back behind her. if you think it needs to be fixed. Say, hey, you know, it's all into the delivery. You don't have to feel like an ass-a-it. It's all into delivery of how you go, hey, did good job on that door. I'm going to work on the alignment just a little bit, and it'll be perfect.

Oh, so lift her up first and then support fixing it. Did a good job there. I'm a little tune on it just a bit. Do you mind if I tune on it to maybe ask her opinions? She's going to say, yeah. you're so confident that's good advice yeah well I think the one with the problem

I'm gonna be confident alright my last one here I'm losing my hair when's the right time to just let go of the little I have left for reference my hair line is basically halfway back on my head at this point yeah let it go yeah I would say let it go

yeah okay it is a lot of work though probably to shave that all the time so like if you're gonna commit to that yeah his wife in this he says his wife says let it go and let it go, but enjoy it while it lasts. Like, just let the hair go and then not shave it. So here's the thing about men's hair. Y'all are programmed to not ever lose it back here. So, like, it could go all the way back.

It's like to this space, and then that would be that. I would say that. It's like, you got to choose to shave it. I would just go for it. I would just shave it. F it. Go for it. Just, I mean, just do it. Yeah, just buzz it.

Especially if you can grow a beard. Beer with the bald heads, a good luck. It's great. You might could even go. What do you think about, you know, what do you think about the guys that are that are do it real tight. Like it means like a number,

like a number two. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You could do a number two. A number two.

Yeah, like I don't know, number two, number three. Probably a three. I don't know with the gate. This is probably a two. I would be, I would think that the guard number would be like. I think a one.

Closer. Like a one would be the smallest, right? Yeah. Yeah. One is as low as it goes. Yeah, I probably do a one. All right. Well, I think you should go for it.

And grow a beard. Yes. Bald with beard. That's the move. Yeah, bald with beard. If you're going bald, adding the beard is a good compromise. It is a good compliment. Way to look a little still edgy.

Is that what it is? Guys are worried about losing their edge? No, it's about like, hey, you know. Like manly? Yeah, you're feeling less than. You are? feeling imperfect. Okay.

Well, women know all about that. We're always tinkering with ourselves so we can feel a little bit more. But I think I find like bald, bald guys. I think the guy that has said, I'm just, I'm bald. Yeah,

I like that confidence. I like that confidence rather than the guy that's kind of trying to push it far as he can push it, right? So I hope that I'm confident enough at that point. If I ever get to that situation, just go, I don't think you're going to have that.

I'm just saying, like, I see that guy walking around in the office and I'm like, he's got confidence. He's like, you know, it ain't there anymore I'm done. This is what I'm doing. Yeah, but he took charge of his look. Yeah, I like that too.

Yeah. People will think that about this guy if he goes for it. I think you and Alex, though, are never going to lose. Like, there's no way. That's going anywhere. Yeah, I'm good.

Hi guys, Dale and I are back in the studio for another round of bless your heart, and we're excited for your questions today. What do you have? All right. Joseph wants to know which one of you would thrive more in an escape room.

Oh, Dave. Really? Wow. I don't like being confined. Yeah. The rule... We should go do this. I know.

We've talked about this with Mike Davis. I tried to get you guys to go do it. Remember years ago there's one in Davidson, which I don't even know if it's there anymore. I don't like being in confined. spaces. I don't like being held down. I don't like being chased. Kind of like Nicole, like none of that. So I think I don't think I would mentally thrive going through that. All right. Clues would be fine. Well, I was thinking that if we ever did it, I'd really be depending on you, but I will, no, I will hold back on that expectation. I would hinder your experience. All right. We should go try it. Have you done one of those before?

No. I'm waiting on you. I'm not doing one without. My first one's going to be with you. You're going to be waiting your whole life. Your first escape room is going to be your coffin. Jesus. How long do you think it would take you guys to complete the escape room? I don't know. Do they have a time limit on it? I think there's a time limit.

You could do like, I think, an hour, maybe two hours, if I'm not mistaken. Two hours being stuck? You can quit, too, but. Oh, you can? Yeah, you can give up. You'd be stuck in there for the rest of the day. I'd be down to do it. I mean, I think I only try it.

I think I really only want to try it with Amy. I want the easy level, entry level, like the kid level. Yeah. No. I feel like I would need to do that to get my bearings before I. did like something where the clues were too hard you know what I mean if you do that we're going to need the security footage so just see how that went maybe we should all do it together yeah yeah uh next questions from uh hurville uh he said my girlfriend told me if I make it obvious that I'm about to propose

she'll be pissed any advice on how to handle that or keep it a surprise ooh keeping it a surprise is really important I know that feels like such pressure for a guy it is a lot of pressure and it should be because it's a big moment I think the only way to make it a surprise is to not make it such a big, big visual experience. You know what I mean? Like some people set up flowers and they have a photographer there. Like that's very obvious that you're about to have a big moment. When they walk in, yeah.

Yeah, your mom's there. Why is your mom all of a sudden standing there? So the element of surprise isn't that hard if you just don't overthink it. Dale shocked me with ours. We were in a church on a genealogy trip and it had nothing to do with us. You know what I mean? And he asked me to get to marry him in the church. church. And so I just wasn't expecting that at all. I don't think it's that hard, right? No.

No. Just don't overdo it. Don't overdo the day. Like make it just a simple, heartfelt moment. Yeah, I don't know if this needs to be something you have to tell somebody, but it is, it only needs to be, like, it doesn't have to be at a, it doesn't have to, well, no, I'm just, like, it doesn't have to be during an event or a moment, and it doesn't have to, be around anybody like it just you know it shouldn't anyway yeah the the that's that moment can be just you and her right yeah and um and so like you know if someone happens to be there that could be a witness that's cool because then they can tell the story but that's not necessary but uh so it just needs to be all too and it can be really anywhere anywhere and it can be on it can be in a new place doesn't have to be in a place that's like oh

I want to do it here because this is connected. Yeah, I think that's going to tear up a little bit too. Yeah, it doesn't have. Make a new, make this place a new place that's now somewhere you'll want to go in the future because that's where this happened, right? And so, and it can be, you know, it can be a new, it can be, you know, a tropical vacation spot. You know, it can be anywhere. You go see it, you go to Europe to a country you've wanted to visit all your life. and you just happen to go take this trip and you can do it there.

Because once you have, you know, once you've had, once you've done that thing in that spot, now that spot is somewhere you're going to want to go to. Sure. You're going to want to go back to it. So being a new spot, being this new part. Take notes, Alex. No. Yeah.

No, no, no. A lot of people think they need to do it in a place that's connected to them or connected to that person. It's like, right? You know, a lot of people... Yeah, well... Well, they're trying to find something that makes it special. Right. But the thing is, what's happening is the special thing.

So it doesn't have to be connected to any other way. Yeah. What I'm seeing a lot on, like, but nowadays is the girls are very worried about what they're wearing when they get proposed. Yeah, because everybody's taking pictures. Yeah. And I get that. So, like, to that point, Kelly asked me that morning when I was getting ready. She's like, do you ever, like, coordinate y'all's outfits on trips so that your pictures look pretty?

And I was like, no. And she's like, well, what are you wearing? and I showed her and she's like, oh, that's perfect. And she ran off and I was like, I wasn't. I was too home over to catch it. I was wearing shit like this. And he, yeah, well, like, I'm going to try to coordinate outfits with this man, right? No, don't overthink it.

It'll be fine. Don't overdo it. And just surprise a shit out of her with something simple. Good advice. Next question is from Shawna. Halloween's coming up. What are y'all's costumes and what are the girls' costumes? So the girls are the K-pop demon hunters.

And us moms are going to be. the slash of boys. So like, we're at the boy band group. Dale is going to be the only man along because TJ's at the racetrack already. I'm off. I got to cheer off.

We don't really know what he's going to do. He's probably just going to wear that. Surprise. Which is really boring. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out. You'll figure it out? You're just going to be the old man again? No.

No? I won't do that again. Okay. We'll figure it out. I have probably be, I'll probably be something in a mask. Scary. A mask is probably in the future.

I feel like Beetlejuice would be. cool. We'll see. I'm not wearing the whole suit. The black and white? No. Oh, come on. No. See, he's no fun. I am fun. I'm no fun. He's just married me for nothing. Yeah, I'm always bored.

All right, what's our next question? A lot of people in the chat want to know Amy, bearded Dale or no bearded dale after the last couple weeks. I like this beard. I like this scruff, just a little scruff. I love his face. I want to see his expressions. I like to see all that. And when I first started dating him, he did not have a beard. So that was how I fell in love with him. You know, that was what I was used to seeing. And then he starts growing the beard. And he's got it in his mind that in July, he has to start growing a beer so that when he goes hunting that one weekend in November, he's going to be

warm. And so that's his excuse. And I'm going to look like a hunter. He's going to show those deer who's the boss and have a scruffy face. I got to look apart. You know, you don't have to do all that. Let's just clean it up a little bit. But he had to go to the dermatologist and that's why he shaved it. He would never just do that. Yeah. Yeah. So Dale, you're a beard guy. You like the beard. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. He always said he wanted to like, have this giant, long beard. But I've also wanted really long hair. Yeah, I think his beard, like his hair is just going to grow out. If I could have my way, it'll just be this big brown wall of hair. If I could have my way right now, if I can snap my fingers,

I'd have a beard probably down to here and I'd have a hair. down to here. You should just do it. And what are we doing with all that hair? Someone get AI to make that picture. In his mind, too, it's like long-flowing blonde blonde, like surfer loss. I don't care what it is.

I don't care at that point. Yeah, you do. No. It'd be the me version, you know, that gift of Homer going back into the bush and be basically that. Yeah. But with hair.

But with hair. Yeah. It's a good visual. All right, I have one more question for you. Did you all hear about the Louvre heist? Yes. If you could have any piece of art or famous item in the world, what would you want? Oh, my gosh.

I mean, I feel like the Mona Lisa is the most famous piece of art. Like, everyone knows what that is. Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. I would probably want that one. Yeah. Even Island knows what that one is. I can't believe that that happened. Yeah.

And all of those pieces, they recovered one crown. Yeah. I think they dropped it or something. That's what I heard, too. damaged. But it's just like, except from the 1830s or something like that. Yeah. Or 17 something.

It's sad. They did during the day. I know. I thought there'd be like, all these movies that you break into some high-tech thing and they just went in. Like, yeah. It's crazy. If you had to have a role in the heist, do you have a role you'd like, like getaway driver, person who just knocks the wall down or something, the guy who flips around the lasers in the movies?

I want to crack the safe. You want to crack the safe? They're all in glass cases in the, The middle of the... Earpiece in. In the middle of the museum. I think I would be a good distractor. Like, I want to be the person that, like, distracts the guard.

And he would be the getaway driver, obviously. How would you distract the guard? I don't know. That was up to me to decide in the moment. Do whatever it takes. Oh, really? Yeah. I could have come up with some ideas for you.

If we're heisting, priceless art and jewels, like, you do whatever it takes. Yeah. It's a safe cracker and distracted. I want to try to think of the piece of art I want. What do you got? I've been sitting over thinking, and I can't think of any cool art I like. That's why I asked the follow-up question. I thought that was more Dale's feed.

Is there a trophy? Get back in that corridor. Go down there. We were talking earlier about how long the corridors are in Dale's head where he has to reach back way so far back in the filing cabinet to pull a memory out. I know some art. Damn it. No, you don't.

I really don't. It's all right. Amy listed the only two I know too. So that was... Yeah. Those are the two that I think would be... Everybody walking into the house would know exactly what they're looking at, right? Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Well, that's all I got for asking me today. All right. Thank you guys for your questions. Please check out the show. And if you haven't already, I'm looking here or here. I always look at the wrong camera. This one.
