Hey guys, Dale Jr. and I are in the Dirty Mo Media Studios again this week for another round of Bless Your Heart. We have a good show for you today. I'm a little blue. We have some news to tell you if you haven't already heard. We lost our little Junebug. We also found some things under the couch. And Dale wants to talk about how he interacts with the kids at the school bus stop. So 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. Yeah. Drink of the week, first off, presented by High Rock Vodka.

Today's drink is a cherry lemonade. Or limeade? Cherry limaid. Sorry, limaid. It's a nod to the 2025 Rider Cup. I guess that's going on. This weekend. I have not been very.

plugged in lately. So, where have you been? I've just been living life. I've been living my life. I've been really not plugged in. He's been in his sweatpants is what he's been doing. Yeah.

That's good. I took a break from social media to an extent. And I don't know the last couple of weeks, I just been, I got a new truck. So I've been enjoying that. But yeah, I've been in my sweatpants. Sometimes you need a week like that.

Mentally and figuratively. No, physically. Physically. Sorry, yes, physically and mentally. He's... He might still be there. I'm getting old man. You should have just worn them.

Yeah. They're the same pair of sweatpants. He's been wearing every single day. Isn't that smart? Less laundry for me, I guess. Well, let me finish the cocktail... Today's drink of the week. It's cherry lime aid.

Cherry lime aid. The cocktail includes Sugar Land's limited edition Cherry Limeade Moonshine. Sounds amazing. It's made specifically from the, what is that word? Biannual. Biannual battle between Europe and the United States best golfers. Oh. The Rider Cup.

Oh. I thought they were going to say, this is made specially from a creek and, you know, I don't know. From the creek water. Just read the words. Well, sometimes you'll read a. you're going to read like a promo or something, and you start imagining what's coming next. And I thought they were going to...

That's exactly how Isla reads. She just makes up her own damn words. I'm like, no, no, no. Well, I thought they were going to tell me the moonshine was made on this specific hill in Gatlinburg and pull, you know, these cherries were pulled from a specific, you know... From Washington's tree? Food plot or something. One of George Washington's special trees.

Nope. It's made for the bianual battle between Europe and United States and the golfing. world. But let's give it a shot. I mean, I like it. It's good. Very light. Tart and very light.

Refreshing. Two ounces of Rider Cup cherry lime-made moonshine. One ounce of High Rock vodka. One ounce of cherry juice. And you can top the glass off with a little club soda. Throw a cherry in there if you like. Visit highrockvodka.com. They have a locator on the website to tell you where the closest bottle is.

So you'll know before you have to make that drive to the local store if they've got it in stock. There are some areas where we can ship. So drink responsibly and you need to be 21 years or over to drink, obviously. Everybody knows that. So we all get up in the morning, get dressed, go do our thing, come home. When you get home, maybe you put on some comfortable clothes, right? You get out of your jeans or whatever. if you know that you're not going to leave the house for an errand or anything like that.

Amy's the motivation for me because she does that. When Amy's not got a thing, she's going to dress comfortably. So she's got sweats and things and outfits and stuff in the house that are super comfortable. I mean, I feel like we were all taught that as kids to take your school clothes off. You know what I mean? Your play clothes and your school clothes are not the same. And so I do that, yes. So I have a pair of sweatpants.

I have multiple pairs, but I'll, I get one pair, and I'm going to wear them for those three or four hours in the afternoon or evening, and then they come off when I go to bed. And I just hang them up for tomorrow. I mean, when are they dirty? When is it like, okay, these have hit the threshold of dirtiness. I don't know. How many times have you farted in them?

I think that's the threshold. I mean, multiple times, I'm sure. If you're walking around like lioness with like a dirt cloud around you, I feel like it's time to change them out. So, farts. I think it's when you spill something on them. Oh, really?

That's it. There's no fart threshold for you. No, they're fart sweatpants. There's enough cushioning. I did get some money. on them. We were in the yard talking landscaping. And so I did get mud on the knee

of a pair. Then he put him back on. And then those going into the hamper. That was the threshold of dirtiness. I think that's appropriate. Yeah. Y'all, I went upstairs to get this hat right before we started recording. I came back down. Needed a bit of a couple deep breaths to to get back to normal. And it made me think. So how many people in here, like, Dalton, you probably do this,

Dalton's married, but if you're on the regular sleeping with someone and you come into bed after they've been in bed, like I did this last night, and I think it's the funniest thing. But you can't not, I can't control it. But Amy goes to bed early. He can't control anything he does, even his choices. Amy goes to bed early, and I'm like, all right. We'll hang out.

So I sit downstairs. I had a little snack and hung out. But I come upstairs and it's, it probably, we wouldn't have this situation if it was a single floor or home. But I come up the stairs and I crawl in bed and I'm like, I'm out of breath. Like just a little bit out of breath, right? And my breathing's a little bit fast or a little bit heavy. And I'm laying there trying to breathe as slow as I can while. trying to catch my breath so that I don't wake her up.

And man, you're like... Which sounds worse. It's like shaking too. You're like your breaths are like shaking to the beat of your heart. You're like... Yeah. And it is a... And I'm sitting there.

I'm like, this is silly as shit. I'm like 50 years old and I'm sitting here trying to hide my loud breathing. So Amy doesn't wake up. Listen, that's a... I thank you for that because that's never fun. Laura and I talked about that, like when a man's loud panting in the bed, especially when he's right behind you. And I'll jump in the bed and I'm like... There's a thing, too, like he thinks he's quiet and stealthy all the time.

I know when he fucking comes to bed. I know. He's not quiet. He walks like a buffalo. I don't know if she really knows, but I think she might know, but she might not know because she doesn't make a sound. Like if I hop in bed, she doesn't go... No, because I don't want you to try to get on me. Oh, well...

I don't want that to be the high sign of like, oh, she's a little. wake. Start grabbing boobs. I'm like, I'm just going to like, I'm just going to wait for death death.

So she'll, I'll climb in bed, and you know, you get in bed, and you're like, damn, I'm not really comfortable. Like, you'll get in your position and you're like,

Matt, that's isn't it? And I'm like, I'm breathing heavy, and I'm like, not comfortable, so I don't want to tussle around. And I'm, and I like,

wait, and boy, she moves, it's like, ah, finally I can move. Because she starts to move, and she, rolls over whatever. I'm like, oh, now I can move and get comfortable, get in my position. And then dude, I like a light. And now I'm awake. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to go back to sleep.

That's a stressful little time right there for you. It really is. I've experienced it every time. Every time. Because I go to bed late too. I can't go to bed before like 12. Yeah. So every time I I sneak into bed, it's stressful. I don't want to wake her, but I'm going to wake her because I got to get comfortable. Yeah. I have a feeling you're a little bit more quiet than he is. I try to be quiet. Breathing wise now. Breathing wise now. I'm doing exactly what Dale just said. Well, the thing is too, he brushes his teeth downstairs in the powder room right next to the kitchen. Don't you hear all that? So like I go downstairs in the morning and there's toothpaste everywhere. But if he had chosen to brush his teeth in his own sink upstairs, he might not be so out of breath.

Like it gives him a minute to get his breathing and control. But I'm worried that that's noisy. You're noisy anyway. The sink is like our sink and me brushing my teeth my little noisy toothbrush is 10 feet from her bed? I can hear you shuffling through the bathroom with your feet. I can hear you. I'm so quiet.

Nope. Man. No, you're not. Well, those items weren't on the notes today, but they were fun to talk about. Amy, you mentioned that we lost Junebug. Junebug was 14 years old.

Pomeranian. They said when we were getting him, he was a teacup Pomeranian. You could hold him in your hands. He was so tiny. He, you moved up here from Jacksonville and lived in a rental, a few different apartments and so forth. And I remember when we got Junebug and how tiny and perfect he was. Yeah, he was super tiny. He was like 1.6 pounds. He would hop up on your chest. You couldn't even feel his way. weight. He was so small. Yeah. And just so, so tiny, you're afraid you're going to hurt him. But, you couldn't hold him in one arm. He'd fall through the gap in your arm. Wow. Like you had to hold him. He would climb in your hoodie. Yeah, you could stick in them in the pocket of your hoodie. It was like a little, wow. It was exactly like having.

A stuffed animal come to life. Yeah, but like the movie, the, um, the old movie, nobody's going to remember a lot of people. Um, well, you can't even remember. Magpie. Magpie Yeah Um Got you No no Gremlins

That was his name What it Magpie was his name The Grimmy Bugway Mug Y Mug Y They called him mug Y

They called him mug Y One of them I forgot The gremlin He did not look like a gremlin I thought he was like a neat Fun When they were good

Like the Before they get water on them And turn bad Man what did you eat yesterday Good Gremlin You're in a weird weird Mindset With the

Things you're thinking about This is who I am Um No, Junebug was amazing. He never was trained to go outside and potty. So he peed everywhere. We talked about that. We tried.

Collie. Here's the thing about Junbug. So he was super tiny. Like when I first got him, I was still working and doing CAD work and drawing and doing material design. So he would sit on the front part of my laptop, on the front corner. And he was so little he wouldn't touch the keys or the mouse pad or anything. Like, he could just sit there and he just stared at me while I drew.

and did my work. And then we'd like take a break and play. And then I'd put him back up there. But, you know, he, yeah, he didn't have any manners. He'd run off. Jamie and I lived together at the time. And he would like take off into the woods thinking he was being funny. And we're like, you're going to get picked up by a hawk.

You know, it's jokes on you. And we'd have to like literally close the door and wait for him to come back. But he also didn't have any manners because he traveled with us so much. Like he had to pee in the gravel or pee anywhere just because we were always tootting him everywhere. So I don't think you really ever learn that like it's only in the grass. You know what I mean? Dogs are a big, big deal. I've had a bunch of dogs.

We had a white, we had a big white kind of looked like a size of a retriever. But it was a white dog we called Domino. I've got pictures of that dog. I don't really remember that dog, but that was our first kind of dog. Do you remember the first pet you had? Our first dog was Simon and he was a Picanese. He looked just like your mom's old dog. Yeah.

And yeah, he was outside. He was an outside. He was an outside dog. Even in South Texas. Wow. Yeah, we'd have to sneak him in the house when dad was at work. But yeah, he was sweet. Mom was devastated when he passed.

But I remember we had him for the longest and then we had Zach. So that was an interesting experience, I guess, trying to explain to the girls what was going on. And Ila was emotional and understood, you know, what was going on. But Nicole didn't really get it. She's right at that. I feel like she understands now. And now she's just trying to like twist the knife because, and it's partially my fault

because I have a stuffed animal that looks like Jumbug. Yes. And I bought this for Ila when she was small. There's a stuffed animal in our house that looks identical to the dog. Yeah. And the kids are carrying it. They're fighting over it now. They're fighting over.

It's a whole Jumbug. This stuffed animal. has been sitting in the same spot that's unattended nobody messed with it it was just another toy in the corner of the room and now over the last like two days they have been fighting over and it's been everywhere and they're saying jumbug

and they won't stop saying his name and so Nicole it's been a nightmare Junebug wasn't nice to kids he just never was so I got this thing for Ila so she could have her own little junebug that she could carry around and sometimes they push it around

on the baby stroller or whatever but it's now everybody's favorite toy and Nicole wanted to take it in the ride to school this morning. So Junebug's doing this and Junebug's doing that and Junebug sees this. I'm like, oh my God, can you just stop saying Junebug? I know she's just like four and not trying to torture me, but it's totally torturing me. So it kind of put me in a funk by the time we got out of the car and I got here, I was like just blue again. I was happier yesterday, but then just kind of sat again today.

I don't think the weather's helping. But it was kind of partially my fault. But I'm going to miss him. He's a sweet little boy. and I was, I'm going to cry. I was holding him when he passed away, which is I'm grateful for because if I had to make the choice to put him down, I think that would have been harder.

He was sleeping next to me down in the Elvis room, and I could hear his, my alarm went off. I could hear he wasn't breathing that well, so I look over and I'm just petting him, and as soon as I picked him up and started taking him towards the front door, he just passed away. I feel like he waited for me to wake up.

It's so sad, but I miss him. Ila, it was sad yesterday again. So I think she's going to go in and out of it with me, but Nicole's going to continue to torture us with all of her commentary about he's in the dirt, he's in the yard, and maybe it's some comic relief. Dale did the same thing to me yesterday,

speaking of, we were talking to Sunny about the irrigation, all the beds that we need to replant because the water is now getting into the garage, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, you know, there's a thing out there about the whole size of Junebug. And I'm like, God dang, dude, can you just leave Junebug out of this? It's too soon. Yeah.

I, yeah, everybody deals with things, things differently. And I don't love my feeling, the way I deal with it. But because I'm, Amy's, you know, reaction to it is very normal. and expected. And Dale's a butthead about it. I'm not a butthead. I mean, that was kind of a butthead thing to say. I was just trying to describe the hole in the ground was the same hole.

Even Sunny turned around and looked at it and like, dang, man, it's too soon. I dug the hole. I know how I was, just say. There was a hole in the ground for the landscaping. And there was a guy. They built, there was a drain. There's a drain in our yard.

And we've got some water issues where some water is sort of settling in some spots. We needed to not do that. And so we're going to have to dig out the flower beds. They've just sort of built up over time. And now the water table when it rains is getting over the water barrier on the side of the house and getting water into the garage. Well, there's a drain out in the yard. And I look at this drain, plastic box drain with a grate over it. And it's full of water.

I pull the top off and dig down in there. It's mud, mulch, all kinds of stuff down in this plastic box. It's a risky move. There's no And then I get it all dug out And that's how I got the mud on the sweatpants I make it sense now I get it all dug out

And this basically is all It all it is is a plastic box That somebody dug a hole and put in the ground There's no piping out to Run this water off anywhere It's not real It's not a drain And so I was trying to say to Amy

This house was built in 2008 by the way And it's taking us this long to figure that out Water stands in that part of the yard, and it has ever since the house is built. And that's why, because that drain's not real. Whoever put it in there didn't finish the job or didn't put the piping to be able to let it run off somewhere out, you know, out underneath the yard. And I said, yeah, the box there is a hole, the same size as the hole that we dug for Junebug. I thought I was just describing the hole. You said it a very, very abrupt way.

Yeah. No, he doesn't have, he doesn't have empathy. Like his empathy chip is it's situational, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. He didn't have it yesterday. Not in that moment. Anyway.

Yeah, I feel like that if we're being honest. So, you know, when you have a loss, like I dealt, I had a very big loss back in 2001 with dad. And that's something that, you know, traditionally you expect to happen later in life. but you kind of get this unfortunate situation early in life. And so I have, you know, I've experienced something that a lot of people will experience later. And that, like, hardened or seasoned or like now when another loss happens in life, the next loss or the next person passes or a pet or something very, even though I love Junebug to death and I will miss him terribly.

I feel like I don't grieve. I don't know why. I don't grieve it because, and it's not like I don't appreciate him and love him, but like that part of me is not working right. Yeah, I know. Yes. I think that your empathy chip has been damaged.

I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I feel fine. I feel okay with how that's working. I'm not, you know, I don't, I don't, I might not be working the right way. I think the way you react to it and how you're dealing with it is traditional. Yeah.

You know, grieving and so forth. But I am already, so he, Junebug has had a lot of, you know, things. I've almost lost track of all of the sort of challenges he's faced over the last year and a half, two years. He had a collapsed. His trachea is starting to collapse. It's like a pretty common thing that happens with little dogs. And they're airway, gets tight. So he was dealing?

dealing with that, always sort of like hacking and trying to cough up like a cat or somebody might cough up a fur ball. He didn't cough up anything, but it sounded like he would make that, you know, it's what it would remind you of. Yeah. And he had some battles with Gus that, well, he had to work through. He had a heart murmur. He had a heart murmur.

That was getting worse. That was the one thing that they were telling us was really bad. probably going to, you know, be the biggest challenge was his heart murmur. Our vet, I suppose. Amy, you said he got pretty emotional about the news. He was upset, yeah. I hated that. They worked over the last couple of days.

Like, I, you know, Gus, Junebug was laying, just laying. You know, he would sit up a little bit and look at you, but he would not walk, not do much moving, didn't want to stand. And so, I mean, it was kind of like, gosh, it feels like it's time to. Yeah. maybe, you know, think about putting him down, but gosh, you just kind of want to give him every chance you can. And we were right there in that sort of threshold of having to sort it out.

And I'm kind of glad that we, I'm glad it happened the way it happened, honestly, like, to your point, like we were, if the doctor would have said the day before we had him at the vet, if he would have said, man, it's time. We would have done it, right? but you know I'm glad we kind of maybe it's good I don't know but it he you know he was a he's a great he's a fun dog a lot of fun I loved him and man just so hard to replace you know you don't when when killer died I thought you know man when killer had cancer we knew he was going to pass and I'm telling myself, you know, I'm going to take a break from dogs for a while.

Let's just take a break. Let's just not do dogs for a while. Yeah, well, we had already had Junebug at that point. Yeah. But as soon as he passes, you're like, you know, the change in the house. Yeah. And it's immediate. The energy is definitely changed in the house.

And Gus was even pounding this morning. And I don't know if it was because he just wanted to go for a walk or if he's actually getting sad now. So we showed him Junebug after it happened. Yeah. They say you're supposed to do that. So they know where their buddy went. Yeah.

And he sniffed on him and just. moved on like yeah part of my plan all along you know what I mean Dale and I both were like no try it again like yeah sure you really understand felt yeah felt like he needed to like you butthead figure it out yeah um but yeah I don't know I don't think that um I think we're just gonna hang on to Gus for a little bit yeah do Gus does not let you bring another dog in the house anyway so yeah territory territory yeah very yeah but this morning we drink water and you know you drink like three quarters of the bottle and you sit it on the island in the kitchen and you know get up in the morning you're like i'll just put this remaining water in junebugs bowl

and it's like you know you have those moments where you you have to like you're reminded like now that's not that's not what you're doing anymore yeah um you can form and gusses instead yeah i did you did yeah but um yeah it'll be tough trying to there'll be moments where you like the first time we go back to the you know the beach you beach house or first you know there'll be moments yeah we're going to start getting rid of all the we've got to go and find his things and um i feel like we just save it it's just bowls and things we just it's whatever i'm not touching it you know i'm going to handle it okay but junebug was 14 i um asked chat gtp how long pomeranings live he said 12 to 16 years um so he had a good long life he did mr h had a

I had a Pomeranian that was his dad's, is that correct, that he adopted. And that dog lived today be 18 years old. Wow. He ate one cheeseburger every day. He would ride in the car with Mr. H. I thought it was his dad's dog. And they would eat a cheese. They would share a cheeseburger or the dog with his own cheeseburger, and that's all he ate, was one cheeseburger a day.

And that dog lived at 18 years old. And I remember Mr. H. telling us that. And I was like, 18 years? Oh, my gosh. We just like basically got a kid. You know what I mean? so I was expecting at least 14, you know, based on that story. Gus is 11.

Gus is going to be 11 December. Yeah. Yeah. Did you ask chat about Gus since you were in there? Oh my God. They live 11 to 15. 11 to 13, but 15 sometimes. What is wrong with me?

I don't know. I'm just asking questions. I'm just like something on Google. It's like asking. internet what's wrong with yourself if you've got a cut and then all of a sudden it tells you you've got the c word you know what I mean like no I'm just saying internet will tell you whatever you want to say but I'm just asking you can ask it whatever you want to ask it like I asked it how many days till the Pocono race because the kids are always asking about going to

Hershey Park and I can't freaking figure that out did you should just ask it how many days till the Pocono race, and it's like 270 days. That's logic. Yeah. All right. Anyhow, I'm not using chat for nefarious reasons, just in case. Not nefarious reasons. I don't know what you're worried about.

Oh, I just feel like, I don't think about using chat as much as you do, but, you know, that's just personality differences. I ask it for hacks for college football 26. Tell me some cheese plays. How can I beat T.J.? What's a cheese play? Cheese play is like a play that's broken that you probably shouldn't. or not supposed to use or a way to rig kind of do something that breaks the game.

Yeah, a little bit. Yes. We don't use that word, but it's called cheese. Chess, that feels better than cheating. That's cheesy. Like, man, you know, you keep running the same play over and over again. That's cheesy. Or you keep doing this thing that probably shouldn't do.

But I'll do those things to beat T.J., whatever it takes. Yeah. So I remember you guys, like, actually sharing real hacks to break. into certain games back in the day. Yeah. I found this cheat. Found a cheat code. Oh, yeah.

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.dirtymomedia.com. So we got a new rug. One of my girlfriends in Texas sent me a link for an Amazon rug. And considering how many dog messes we've had on ours, it was time. I got a huge rug for $36.

36 bucks. I don't believe it still. I know. I was waiting for them to give me a refund like they had messed up the post. Amy said.

Because all of the other rugs were the normal price which were very expensive and then they had this gigantic size on sale for 36 bucks and they probably just had overstock and they just wanted

to get rid of them. Amy knows that I freak out about cost of things and she's like, guess how much I got this rug for? I'm like, holy shit. I don't want to guess.

I mean, it was expensive. I wasn't going to tell him. She's like $36. or whatever. I was like, my mind just said, ain't no way. Just don't make a sound. That is not true.

It's not real. There's no way, but don't debate. Oh. Let it happen. I had even sent it to Kelly. And she's like, my living room is not even big enough for that. But she saw it. So anyway, I got one.

Katie got one. There's a few other friends I got one. Oh, really? Yeah. Damn. What's wrong with this rug? Nothing. There's nothing wrong with it.

So we roll, we get the rug out, or we get the rug. It's sitting in the living room. I like the rug. It's great. And now we have to do the task of ungater clipping the couch, moving all the furniture off, getting the kids to stay off, the dogs to stay off so that we can roll up the other one and put the new one down. Well, of course, we move all the furniture off and then find, like, the most disgusting display of crap underneath the couch. And in the couch cushions wasn't so bad because we pulled the couch cushions off quite a bit to clean.

Wasn't all my crap either. The cushions, it wasn't. It was actually none of Dale's crap. There were no candy pieces left. No. Big win. No candy, no toe, fingernails, none of that stuff. Gross.

Do you do that? No, no. Did you find any that were none there? Well, maybe they were underneath a pile of necklaces and jewelry things. No, no, no. Gross, dude. There was all kinds of dirt and crap. Coins and.

There were a lot of coins where those come from. It was gross. I don't know where the coins were in a very, they were in a pile together. Yeah, I mean, I'm not walking around with coins in a pocket. Rappers from gummy bears. Oh, yes. A plethora of barbie shoes and all kinds of little things like that from their toys. Yeah, we don't get under that rug or under the sofa enough, I guess.

Yeah, it was under the sofa. So anyway, we've got that moved out of the way and the new rug's nice, but you never know what you're going to find on Amazon. You really don't. 36 bucks. That's crazy. Amazon. I still think there must be something wrong with it.

I didn't steal it. I mean, it's good. Yeah, but like if you look at land and they're like, yeah, this is a very cheap acre of land and you're like, got to be something wrong with it. Must not be able to build anything there. Must be some kind of a floodplain or something's wrong. It's unfavorable.

There's nothing wrong with the rug. The rug seems fine, but maybe there's some... Did you lose things under the rug as a kid, though? Did I lose? Lose things under the couch, lose things. Like, I don't remember mom and dad

ever pulling the couches back and us having our entire toy collection. So our couches were off the ground. Like, the couches these days are like on the floor. right so like you don't get you can't clean under them like the couches that we lived our houses they had legs and you can vacuum under or you know yeah i don't really remember what our couch i feel like it was skirted okay but still you could get under it well my point is like we didn't have our toys in there as much and we didn't eat in there like we didn't eat on the couch i 100%

agree like i i wish i wish we had never introduced toys into the living room we didn't they Well, I mean, we let that happen. We don't stop it. We don't say, I want to, you know, not, don't want the kids to hear this, but I want to take all of those toys that are in that center console and just bag them up and get them out. Yeah, I'm about ready to do that too. They don't even know what's in there. I don't really want that Ottoman anymore.

We've got an Ottoman with a little wood top on it that you remove and it's full of toys and they have no clue what's in there. They would never miss them. But they'll come over there and throw that top off and start pulling toys out. dangerous. Like Nicole especially will just shoot it around. They start pulling toys out and then five minutes later, hey, where are the kids?

Oh, they're upstairs. It's like a freaking shit everywhere. And I'm like, this is bullshit. You know, they're not cleaning this up. I'm just going to trash it. That's like something I'm working on in myself is like I never want to get rid of anything. Yeah, you do. What if I needed?

I just need to go ahead and say, you know what? I'm never going to need this. I don't need to hang on to this old fault. faucet that we replaced, I'm never going to need it. Yeah. Just throw it away. You know, I hang on the stuff like that. I'm like, you never know, you know, you might need this. But then we're, you know, then. This faucet that does not work. Yeah. And then one day it's going to be somebody else's problem, you know. And they're going to go, why did he keep this stuff? Man, was crazy. Yeah. I think I was a compliment when somebody says you're crazy. I want people to think I got a little crazy in me. Really? Yeah. Women.

can't say that out loud. Well, I don't want people to be indifferent. There's a stigma about crazy women. Like, we're not allowed to say that. I was told the other day when people are indifferent, we're not allowed to own that anyway. What? Somebody told me some great advice the other day that when people are indifferent,

that's when you need to worry. Like when people are like, their ambivalent? Like, they just have a, so. METATATATATATATABETH about who you are? Yeah. I kind of want people.

So crazy is okay for you? It's a little tinge. Crazy is good. I think every race car driver is a little crazy. Yes, you're not wrong. Right. You're not wrong. Ever since I've gone on those ride-alongs with you, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that you have a little crazy in you.

Yeah. Good. See, I want you to think that, even if it might not be true. It is true. It's not true. I got a new truck. Yeah, but he's got a flashy idea for that one, too. Not really.

He showed me his idea, and I'm like, that looks like the NASCAR dots. Like it looks like Now you're... It does. So I had this white truck since 2021 and it had this If you remember the vintage Toyota

Four Runner Orange Yellow, orange, red, black stripes I had that down the side of this truck Just as loud as you could be Right. And man, the girls, me, we loved it. And we had Casey lights on the top

And this thing was awesome. And I don't know, you know, I kind of, I kind of, over the last couple, yeah, over the last couple weeks, I was like, you know what, I'm just going to go low profile for a while, you know, I need a little, I need a little chill. And so. Me and my sweatpants.

My truck got over. Yeah, my truck, I've never really had a vehicle long enough to put a ton of miles on it. And I noticed the other day I was pulling out of the intersection, and I just didn't like the acceleration much, you know, it just didn't feel like it was as crisp as it always had been in the past. I thought there's a little bit of hesitation there. So maybe it's about time to start looking for a new truck. And this has got the old dash in it.

You know, they got the new trucks with the big iPad dash in there. Like you need that distraction. You know, so, yeah, I'm going to, this thing's just this time. I like how you just make it make sense for yourself. That's a standard Dale Jr. move. So I learned that the trade-in value on my 2021 truck with 32,000 miles on it is really good. They gave me 40 grand for this thing. So I'm not, you know, I'm in pretty good shape there.

Thank God. And I got a new truck and it's black. This truck is just going to have a three and a half inch tall red stripe down the rocker panel from over across the both doors. That's it. the old truck was decouled from top to bottom in stripes and stripes and stripes and stripes and stripes and kc lights and all kinds of cool stuff you just give it a couple months he's going to be very subtle and it's a little red stripe it's going to match the trail box and then it dashes yeah like the nascar logo it's similar

but it also did that on my my last cup car for the nationwide it had that in the in the middle of the door. It was like these blue dashes. So I kind of was going off of that. Gotcha. But I'm pumped. I love the truck. And I wish I mean, I could talk about it for a while, but I don't want to bore everybody. Thanks.

I want to fall asleep over here. I have a random question. I saw something on the internet the other day. These two ladies were frying chicken. And it was chicken tenderloins and they literally just got the grease hot in the little tiny sauce pot and they poured all the flour in the grease. and then they put the chicken into the pot and it kind of breaded itself as it was cooking. I'm sure that didn't taste very good because the chicken had to have soaked up a bunch of that oil.

But before they even did all that, the friend that wasn't doing the cooking was asking if she was going to wash the chicken. And the lady that was cook was like, no, I'm not going to wash the chicken. You wash your chicken? She's like, yeah, it's slimy. You don't wash your chicken? Are you supposed to wash the chicken? That's my question. I've never in my life washed chicken that came out of a package.

I've never washed any type of meat. Really? Do you wash chicken? How are you supposed to? I always do. You do? Yeah. Because it's slimy.

So like you wash the chicken and now you've got chicken shit all in your sink? Everything is contaminated, right? Well, you wash your sink after. That is a lot of extra steps. Maybe, but I mean, it's not like, it doesn't take long. So you rinse it with water and then you like pat it dry? No, I throw it in like a bowl of egg. So it gets like the breadcrumbs can stick to the egg.

Oh. And then I throw it in the pan. Do you have a grilled chicken? Sometimes, yeah. And you wash that too? Yeah, I'll wash that too. Just in case. What is it just in case for?

What's the water going to fix? Because I've always been taught you get like sick if you don't. It could be a lie, but I still do it. So like unless you put soap on it and it killed the bacteria. No, that's not true. It's not doing anything. No, that can't be true. I want somebody else.

Can we ask the chat, GPT? Are you supposed to wash your chicken? Yeah. I found that to be so odd. Hey, man, how's it going? Hey, there. It's going pretty well on my end. Hope you're doing great, too.

Always nice to hear from you. Let me know us on your mind today. Hey, I bought some chicken. I brought some jumpsticks and some tenderloins. Tenderloins. And I was going to bread them. Should I wash the chicken in the sink first? Ah, the classic to rinse or not to rinse question.

So officially, food safety guidelines actually recommend that you don't wash chicken the sink. The reason is it can spread bacteria around your kitchen surfaces, and it doesn't really do anything to get rid of germs on the chicken itself. Cooking it thoroughly will kill any bacteria anyway. So you're generally good to just pat the dry of the paper towel and then go ahead and bread it. All right, man, take it easy. Appreciate it. You got it anytime. And good luck with those drumsticks and tenderloins. They're going to turn our great. This is why he uses chat to EBT so much. He's got a new best friend. That's crazy. I don't want to see any of you, son of the bitches going out and talking to chat GTP if y'all going to see her and laugh at me.

Also, don't wash your chicken anymore. You're just up your sink. I learned something. I don't want to see y'all in your car out in the parking lot later today talking to chat TV. All right, little son of a gun. Now we're son of a bitchus to some of the guns. Well, I just felt like it might have been too aggressive. I'll ask chat about it later.

I'll ask if that was too aggressive. In a work environment, is son of a bitch okay to use? Or is son of a gun more appropriate? Y'all, you are all very curious. I can see it in your eyes. I can see it. You're all like, hmm, I need to try that. I want to know whether voices there are.

There's lots, lots of voices. Is there a chick voice? Oh, yeah, multiple. They have like an English accent, Ireland. They have all of them. What about a Scottish man? Maybe. Yeah, I'm sure.

They don't have names or anything. They just call themselves chat GTP. Really? Yeah. How do you know which one you're clicking on? You got to listen to them off? The accent has a name. Oh.

But not like a personal name. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, we were riding in the car to school. And I was like, Ayla, ask this thing, anything you want. And she's like. What does she say? Oh, she was asking it, like, what state has the most earthquakes?

Really? Yeah. That's a good way to get to know your kid. And she's like, and it's like, Alaska, do, do, do it, d'nob, d'nors her. And she's like, oh, okay, what state has the most tsunamis? So we were on like a little. She knows what a tsunami is? Yeah.

And then. That school's doing its thing. Yeah. Look at school. She said, when will the next tornado warning be? and it was like you know hard to predict

it's North Carolina too not many of the so I was like yeah how often did you know so I was like we had a conversation about tornadoes

and then you know what state's had the most tornadoes I'm surprised she didn't ask it about the moon she's always asking me when the next red moon is or the eclipse

so I should write some notes like some yeah questions to ask it on the way to school yeah she's always asking me those things that I don't use chat like you do

but maybe I will because Googling is not as safe if you can just talk into that that probably easier. Yeah, it's pretty helpful. I'm glad you're so entertained. I think it's for a new technology. I don't, you know, I don't want to get down the road

and it become this thing that everybody's using and I'm like, oh, what is that, you know? Listen, that's okay. So I didn't have a Facebook account forever. I didn't have, what was the first one? Myspace. I didn't do Myspace. I didn't feel left out.

I had a Myspace. Sorry, go ahead. No, go ahead. I know you had a MySpace. I had a Myspace and my cats and you know what I thought. You know, you put in a MySpace for his cats. I had pictures of my cats, race cars, my trucks, my cars. Oh my God. Oh, man.

You would put everything on there. I had like a logo, a Sundrop logo on there. Like, hey, everybody, don't come at me unless you're talking Sundrop. I would never have ever. Like, you put, like I would put, you know, you had the little photo section and you put things in there. that you were like, this is my shit, all right? So if you like this kind of stuff, we can talk about that. Yeah, I would never have, like, message to you if I had seen this.

I know it. You had your friends and you had to move your friends in your top eight, was it, top eight, top ten? There was a ranking? Yeah, he was like top eight or something. And there was a guy, what was his name, Tom? Did that cause issues in your friendships? Yeah, the front. Could you take him? He was your number one friend.

You couldn't take him out. Yeah. How what a d'clock? I know. Come on, Tom. He created Myspace, right? And he wouldn't let you take him out. He had to be everybody's number one.

That's weird. Did he do that because he had some kind of weird access to your page? We all accepted it because we're like, all right, fuck it. Okay, well, here's my favorite seven and Tom. And, man, people were like, hey. Boycott Tom. I saw such and such put somebody in their top eight. Did you notice that?

That was like gossipy, right? Hey, did you see who got added to the top eight on what's his face of page? So did you like slide people in and out of your top eight just to see if people would notice? Sure. That's so stupid. It was just like the follow-back. Like you unfollow in that country song. You unfollowed me and followed me back just to see, just so I'd notice.

In that song, in that country song, Some Girls? Huh? There's a country song, you know country. So there's a country song called Some Girls. I kind of want you just to sing it for us. And he's talking about how the girl unfollowed him, then followed him back so he would get the alert. So that he would, she would know that she was. Thinking about it?

Still interested, yeah. And so, like, you would slide people all around in your top eight or whatever and hope that, you know, somebody would notice. Oh, goodness gracious. Bless you. All right, we're going to do a little segment around celebrating National Hunting and Fishing Day. This is presented by Bass Pro Shops. They are great friends of ours.

We have, we're going to do hunting stories. I think last week we did fishing. and Bass Pro is North America's premier outdoor and conservation company. Plan your next adventure at Bass Pro Shops near you or online at BassPro.com. One of my favorite hunting stories. I always like telling stories about how big of a badass my dad was. And so if you haven't noticed, I try to slide it in there every now and then and not be too obvious about it. but there's a picture that I have on my phone of my dad,

and I always show it to people to, because it speaks clearly to how fearless and determined he was. And he's, it's a picture of him in a deer stand, and this picture is taken from 150 yards away, right? So you get the ground, the field, the entire tree, and dad up in the top. And he is literally 50 feet, 40 feet in the air, like twice the height that you truly needed to be. Certainly too high to bow hunt.

He just did it because he could? He just thought that that was what needed to happen in that moment in that tree. And for him to be able to have the best vantage point to see the deer moving in to the field, I suppose. But he's too high. and he would have to screw the pegs into the tree individually and climb this tree, screwing in one peg at a time. As he climbed up. As he climbed up with the stand and then he would have to mount the stand up at this tree,

50 foot into the air, right? So he would screw the pegs in as he was climbing up the tree. At this point, how many pegs does he? Let me, I'll tell you. So he's got the bag of pegs, he's crawling, he's climbing a tree, climbs up the tree and then maybe he goes down and gets to stand and takes a stand back up there. But this picture is just really a speaks to just his, his, his, his, his, his, his crazy. He's crazy.

Yeah. And so I went with him hunting, uh, I believe one of the very first times. I went, the first time I went hunting with dad, I don't remember climbing the stand, but I remember we were in a chain up and the bottom of the chain up is about twice the size of the seed I'm sitting on. Okay. Like it's... And it's just like a grate, right? It's a great.

And it kind of spreads out and kind of, you know, gets a little front wide. A little tear drop on us. Yeah, a little tear drop. Yeah. And so if you sit on it and put your feet down, your toes are at the edge of the grate. and it was cold as hell and early in the morning and I bawled up

I was six I bawled up under his legs under his seat this story makes me and laid so uncomfortable I can't believe this laid on this thing and slept yeah under his legs

you know we hunted in the morning we got out of the tree stand at 11 o'clock and went on about our day the next time I go hunting with him we walk up and we walk up to this tree and this is the first time I ever shot a deer. We were in Alabama.

We get up to this tree, and it's a tall-ass tree that there's not a limb on it. Right at the very top, this tree split, and he had a couple two-by-fours with a chain up in this tree. And so he had two-two-by-fours nailed across the Y that were kind of arm-height if you're sitting in the stand. To lead on or what? 12 or 13.

Like, well, what do you, what's the two by four for? Sorry. Just for him to rest of the, rest of the gun on or whatever, you know, hang something, throw his jacket over. And so, we start to, we get to the bottom of this stand and I'm just going to do whatever he says, right? So we get to the bottom of stand, he goes, all right, you start up and I'll go up behind you. I get going, I start climbing up. I'm like, I can barely reach the pegs. spread apart.

He put these pegs as far apart as possible. So he didn't have to do so many. So he didn't have to put so many in there. Yeah. But I can't get my foot to the next peg all the way up this tree. I'm crawling up this thing and he's having to push each foot. That is insane. He's having to, because I would get my foot up and I'd be about six inches or so

short of the next peg and he would push my foot from underneath to the next peg. Oh my gosh. It was terrifying. It was terrifying. It was terrifying. We had no safety harness, nothing. Like we hunt with safety harnesses now, and you don't get in a stand without one.

And so, but then there was no safety harnesses, nothing. So we got our guns on our backs, you know. So you had a gun, too? Yeah. I had a gun, he had a gun. Oh, this is your first year. Yes. Yeah, okay.

And so we go up in this stand. We finally get up in there. When we get to the top, I am, I've been terrified all this way up. I'm scared. You're already traumatized. I'm scared more for him, you know, than me. Like I'm, and that goes back to like my empathy, I guess. It's like, I wasn't really, I'm like, yeah, whatever happens to me, happens to me.

But I was worried about him. Why? Because he's the breadwinner. He's like the greatest thing on earth. You didn't stop to think, how am I going to get the hell down from here? I didn't worry about it. Oh, my God. I was worried about the greatest man that I knew existed having something happened to him.

and so it's a hard thing to explain or understand but I wasn't really worried about me if something happened to me he was there right if I fell if I got hurt the greatest man on earth was going to be there to take care of me what's going to happen if daddy gets hurt we're both screwed here I'm not not just now but you know what long term what happens right if he was going to break his back or something yeah so we finally get up there and I'm so relieved he sets his ass up on a two by four he's like got his he's he's he's gone his feet he's standing on the platform of this chain up leaned up against this two by four this thing is nailed into that tree by what i don't know and i'm sitting on the stand and i'm like i don't love this i don't like this he don't give a

he's just whatever we shot a deer we sat there for a couple hours we shot a deer i shot that deer at 150 yards it dropped right where it was he was as happy as if he'd shot his own deer which is awesome yeah and then we had to have him had to get down and he had to go down underneath me and take each foot and help me find the next peg because I had to kind of drop down to the next peg yeah yeah it was the I would never forget it it was terrifying that's something I wouldn't forget either but I mean of course it's this great memory yeah right as scary as it was in the moment and then like not long after that I hunted on my own like I would go with dad and then and then he's like all right you're good enough to do it and I

remember hunting in this field right down the hill from that stand we were in and it was in this little finger field we called it the finger field because it was shaped like a finger and all the field like that's a great thing about hunting and having hunting on a property is you get to name everything by the shape of it okay and so um or something some some some creek next to it or just something that's going to sink and make you remember where you are yeah and so i remember i'd go into the finger field climb my stand and i'd look up at that hill and i could see him up on that tree and the same tree you were in with him and and And then, and one night, the same week maybe,

or at least maybe months later, or a year later, we're back in that same property in Alabama. And a big animal got in the top of the tree. It was like a hawk or something, landed in the top of my tree. I was not. I'm thinking like a bear when you said animal.

No, no, no, no. Like a big hawk. Dude, I'll be in trees and, like, I don't, you know, birds or squirrels, all kinds of stuff. They're running around there. And they don't know you're there. Right. Right?

Nothing's supposed to know. And I'm like, and there's a moment where you're like, damn, I don't want this thing to crawl on me. And so you kind of got to, you know, make a move or do something. It's like, oh, crap, there's a person, you know. Because they'll come over. This is insane. So you're sitting in the middle of the woods, dress like a tree, in a tree,

trying not to be seen by these large animals that you want to kill. And then all the while you're like, if this girl runs across my lap, I'm going to scream. I know, I will. And so you don't want it to jump. on you and you not know it. You'll hear a squirrel and it's, so the squirrels will be in a tree next to you and it can hop out of that tree into your tree

and come down, right, and be on top of you in a second and not know it's not know you're there. It's like a big, it's like a bad deal for both of you. And so, like, you'll, you're sitting there and you're watching the squirrels and the birds and stuff and that squirrel starts to look like he's getting a little too close, man, you got to slide, move a boot or something, you know, you know, do a little movement.

They'll be like, oh crap, there's a person in there. Was there any a point where you've locked eyes with the squirrel or anything that got really close to you? And they're like sizing you up and trying to figure you out. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Do you wink? Do you blink?

What do you do? Yeah. Whatever. Do you grunt? Make a little noise? You try to make squirrel noise. Is that it? No, you just make a noise of something.

You just let it know that there's a thing, a living thing sitting there. And it'll be like, whatever, I'm not going there. You bother not bothering you. This is why you need to go so you can get the answers to all these questions. Yeah, so that was part of Dale's 50th wish. is that I would go sit in a stand with him. Never got it. I didn't have to hunt anything, but no, we didn't.

Not fulfilled. We didn't have enough time, really. You went hunting last year, but I didn't. I didn't end up going on. Hey, I think I've got. This is why I don't want to go back. No, no, no. This is it.

So I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity. You can sign me up for whatever, but it doesn't mean I'm going. Since we're here promoting Bass Pro Shops, hunting and fishing day, you did not fulfill my request for you to set in the stand for one. evening. I've got a tree that I want to put us in where you're in your own stand right next to me and we can sit there and have, you know, you'll be comfortable and... So here's how it goes in my mind. He tries to recreate all the moments he had with his dad and he wants me to see how all these things felt. So in my mind, I'm thinking this is going to be

uncomfortable, scary. There's the pegs are going to be too far away. No. These stands are easy. Their ladder stands. They're 18, 15 foot off the ground. It's very nice. It's very nice. Yeah. Your sheltered, nice tree canopy. It's pretty fun. It sounds peaceful. Yeah. It's awesome.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. You need to do it once, one time, and I'll never ask you again. So here's the thing. He bought this property in Ohio, and we go up, I think Gus was even with us, just to look at it. I don't know if you had even bought it yet. And we're just marching around, just looking at the land, and Gus gets deer shit all over him.

Do you remember that? I don't. We were about to go to the racetrack, too. So Gus gets completely destroyed with poop, rolled all in it. He had the time of his life. And I'm like, it is hot outside. It's not cold yet. And I'm worried about getting ticks.

And I'm worried about Gus getting ticks. And so we make it out of there and we're in the bus for the race weekend. And I don't remember where we are. It doesn't really matter. But as we're getting in bed, I feel like I've got something crawling on my neck. And I kept touching my neck. And I'm like, I don't feel anything. But all night long, I kept feeling like I had a little.

something crawling on me. Well, I wake up the next morning, after breakfast, like we had had hours. I wake up, do breakfast. I get my workout clothes on, and I'm on my workout mat. I'm about to like start doing some Pilates, and all of a sudden a tick falls from my head, like my hairline, onto my eyelash. So I did get a tick, and it was on me all damn night, just crawling all over me. And Gus was full of ticks and deers shit. And I'm like, you know what? I don't know this is for me. Well, that's what happens when you go to the property and you walk it. Like if you go to the property and shed hunt and do a ton of walking. We did shed hunt.

I've been back to do that. Right. But that's a real chance. Yeah, when it's cold, you're not going to have many ticks. But if you're walking property like that in a reasonable, decent weather, you're going to get ticks on you. I mean, I grew up outside. But listen. We have country.

We have cows. If we're going to go. If you are going to go with me and go hunt, we're going to ride us. We're going to ride us. ride a side by side or we're going to get a lift in the truck all the way to the stand and all the way out of there. You'll, your boots will be on the ground for mere moments. I'm not worried about walking.

You're not going to get ticks. I'm not worried about being outside. I don't want anybody to get the wrong impression. I love the outdoors. You're not going to be, the tick percentage or chance of getting the ticks that way will be way down. Yeah. And if we have track a deer, we shouldn't have to track one, but if we had to track one, but if we

had to track one, you don't have to do that. Well, you might need to sack my bow in because I haven't pulled that thing back in a while. You're going to, I don't need you to shoot. Well, I want to shoot something, even if it's like targets. Okay. We'll take your bow. Yeah, we'll play. You didn't get rid of it, did you?

No. It's pink. Yes. I haven't seen it in a while. Pink bow. Well, of course you haven't wanted to look at it. Well, where'd you put it? I have to go find it.

It's somewhere. Just somewhere? I don't know, Amy. I mean, it might be timed for a new bow. That thing's old. Probably dry-rodded. You pull it back and it's going to explode. Oh, my God.

I wouldn't trust. Do they do that? Well, I could. Both are not supposed to explode. Well, no, but. I don't know. We'll see. See if we can work this out.

Hunting season is right around the corner. Yeah, it is. Well, the Earnhardt family's always trusted bass pro shops for our outdoor adventures and that tradition lives on with me and my family today and Amy. I grew up shopping there and now it's a place where I share with my own family, whether we're gearing up for a weekend getaway or I'm taking Amy hunting. I'm incredibly grateful for the sport Johnny Morris and the Bass Pro Shop team have shown us. Johnny has been a friend of the family forever.

They do a lot for us here supporting Dirtymo Media, our race teams, junior motor sports, but they're not just great partners. These are great people who truly believe in what we're building, and they believe in hunting, fishing, getting in the outdoors, they believe in conservation. Join us in honoring generations of sportsmen and women who have helped conserve America's outdoor heritage. Buy our others to get outside, share your stories. Let's take the Guide to Outside Pledge at nhfday.org slash pledge. And you could even win a Bass Pro Shop's gift card just for taking part.

I don't quite get that one. Number five was a job interview. Gotcha. Yeah, job interview. We weren't going to get those. No, you weren't. The airplane one I thought you would. God.

All right. Last one I got for you. Top eight answers on the board again. There's a dead body in the house. What do you do with it? Holy shit. That's good. I call the police.

Call the cops. Number three answer. Cover it with a sheet. Cover it with a sheet. No, it's not. Amy, put it in a body bag.

Roll it up in the freaking carpet, though. Put your body bag out and put your, put your dead body in the body bag. Back the truck up to the front door. I mean, none of these. I'm trying to give you one of these,

but no, no, no of that. Call the cops? Call the 911. Call the emergencies. Call the number three answer. The emergencies. This list.

This list is more of like you don't want to, besides the cop one you've already got, you don't, you don't want to get caught. This is kind of what the list is. If you don't want to get caught? If you don't want to get caught, basically. Yeah. So it's not like, bury it. Burriot's number one answer. Yeah.

Put it in the trunk. I don't either. I don't know. Dispose of it. I mean. Dispose of it. But where would, this is most of the list is disposing it. Do you chop it up and stick it in a barrel?

Damn, maybe. I'm going to make sure we, I'm going to get all the barrels. I'm going to get rid of all the barrels. getting rid of all the barrels. Burn it. Burn it. Yep. That's number five.

Damn, this is sadistic. I do not want you making content out of this one. That's going to live in the pod. Deep in the pod. This is a pod special. Feed it to the dogs. Oh, my God. Holy shit.

Okay Probably for the best Number two is hide it in the fridge Whoa The fridge? Not the freezer? No I guess not A deep freeze Number four was leave it

Don't touch it That's a good one Leave it don't touch it Is not an option Number six was taking to the neighbors Take a to the neighbors. Of course, yeah. And number eight was just trash or dumpster.

Oof. Yeah. Speaking of, how would you dispose of an old rug that was like a living room large? Living room large. This is not a little rug. This is a big boy. Cut it up in pieces. Cut it up in pieces?

No. You're going to need a real industrial piece of machinery to cut this thing in pieces. I would just throw it to the curb. Usually they take that. Throw it to the curve. We don't have a curb. We don't have curbs. Dumpster.

Dumpster. You think a dumpster's okay? I think so. Do the dumpster? It's not that damage, though. Honestly, it could be put somewhere. But does the dumpster guy go, God dang, you can't put a whole rug in here? Yeah.

Is there a proper way to dispose of something large like that? I still don't even know what I'm supposed to. I think it's going to the dump technically. But like if you have a dumpster, I think that's the works. To be fair. Yeah. Just so everybody knows, it did go to the dumpster. It did.

But while I was putting it in the dumpster, I thought this probably isn't something that's supposed to go in a dumpster. I think because it's a larger truck than just a regular trash truck, I would think that's okay. Yeah. All right. Some people just throw them on the side of the street. And then they disappear? I guess, yeah. Somebody comes up and picks up and cleans it up.

Gross. Yeah. Well, that's our show, people. Strange but true. Everything is so weird and gross today. Yeah, pretty weird and gross. You guys want to do some ask Amy? Yes.

Let's do some ass gamey. Hi, everybody. Dale Jr. and I are back in the Dirty Moe Media Studios for another round of bless your heart. and we would love to hear what you have for us this week on Ask Amy, which got Alex. All right, our first question is from Danielle. She wants to know if you ever read your horoscope. I used to.

I used to. Back when people read the paper. Yeah. You know, you might be in Grandma's house or whatever, and she might read it. I can't remember what I am. Do you know what I am? You're Libra.

You and Nicole both. All right. I read them every once in a while. It pops up on my... Should we do ours now? I think you should. Yeah. Oh, last.

You can ask chat. Dale's very, very good friends with chat, GPT. I'm in Aries. And Ila is a tourist. So she's a bull. I used to read them a lot too because I used to get paper magazines, like actual tangible magazines. And it was always in the back.

Yeah. Do you believe in like the characteristics that they give your sign? Yes. I feel like your sign definitely categorizes your attributes as far as your personality and your tendencies. You know what I mean? Yeah. What are you?

I'm a Capricorn. Capricorn. My sister's a Capricorn. Yeah, right. I believe it too. There's a lot. Things might feel a bit fast-paced around you today, but you don't need to match that energy. Keep your same steady, measured pace.

I feel like you're the one that's energy is a little fast-paced today. Oh, for love and relationships. Speak from the heart, but gently. Kind message or attentive listen can strengthen bonds. Hmm. What's mine? If you're single, you're shit out of luck. does not say that

it doesn't no it doesn't surely not what are you I'm an aries how you spell that a R-I-E-S you may feel extra passionate today there's intensity under the surface and you may take things to extremes

more than usual watch out Ralph in love and relationships emotions run deep today you might try to woo someone or express intimate feelings but be careful desire can become overwhelmingly overwhelming if not

balance with the respect and open communication. Yeah, I don't feel like that. Nope. All right. All right. Interesting. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of probably why we stopped reading them. Yeah.

They were just kind of like, yeah. That was counterintuitive. They set you up for failure. They're just kind of like, you know. Sometimes they lift you up and sometimes they just don't. Yeah. Not a lot of substance. That's a swing and a mess, huh?

Yeah. All right. Next one's from Annabeth. We've ranked things in the past. She wants us to rank these fall drinks. Ready? Apple cider. hot chocolate, pumpkin spice latte.

Ooh. Ciders last. Wow. Ciders first for me. I would say cider, pumpkin spice, latte, and then hot chocolate's last. Hot chocolate first,

latte middle. And cider's last? Oh man. Do you guys like pumpkin flavored stuff? I do. I like pumpkin flavor. I don't like pumpkin pie, and it's not because of this flavor.

It's because of the texture. Yeah. Yeah. But I do like pumpkin spice cakes, muffins. I like a coffee too, but. Really? Do you eat pumpkin?

Like, it's not, it's like a food today. It's more like the spice blend that they put in the pie that makes it pumpkin-y. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I made pumpkin chili the other day. Did you know that had pumpkin in it? Oh. The food you ate?

I did, but I didn't, you couldn't tell. No. Interesting. All right. Our next question from Julian, what band or artist from your past would you like to see go on a reunion tour? Hmm. A band or an artist. From the past.

alive that could do it. Alive, yeah, because I know dead would probably be Elvis. I don't know, the spice girls, that would be fun. Damn, really? I feel like they are performing everyone's together. Yeah, I know.

The ones that I keep thinking about, like Everclear, they're coming to Charlotte later this year or soon in October, I think. I've kind of always wanted to see Everclear because I was always a big fan of a lot of their music. Yeah. A lot of them are like, I feel like coming back to do reunion.

They're already, yeah, the ones that I keep thinking about are already doing it. Yeah. Me and Amy got to see Hootian to Blowfish when they came back. That was super cool. When I saw them, I was like, man, I'm glad that they came back because I skipped all. When they were hot, right? They were kicking it and everything was great in the 90s.

I was like, ah, you know, I'll see them. I'm not going. I'll see them down the road. And then they broke up. Yeah. That's a great example of that. Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like that happens a lot. Yeah. I'll see them. Yeah. I'll see them. The Stones did a reunion. tour and I wish I had gone to that. Yeah.

We had some friends. You saw Phil Collins. I did get to see Phil Collins in New York on his last farewell tour. That was awesome. That's fun. That is awesome. Next question from Melda. If you had the opportunity to go on an expedition to find Bigfoot or an expedition to investigate

UFOs, which one would you choose? Bigfoot. UFOs. We are never on the same page. Really? Why do you say Bigfoot? Because I feel like that's more attainable. I get Bigfoot things in my phone a lot.

Do you believe that there's a big foot? The Appalachians is where they are, people. Appalachians. We just got to go up, you know, not that far away. I feel like. The videos are getting better, too, because of all the AI, I think. Yeah. I feel like the UFOs, like we've talked about it on the show.

Yeah. Right. I didn't really believe in UFOs when I was younger, but then I started to imagine, like, well, if we're here, there's got to be a chance of something else similar or something else possibly like what happened on Earth happening somewhere in another solar system because it's infinite. So there's got to be a chance, right, that there's something. But how would they be so smart to get here? That's where you get hung up, right?

I know, yeah, do get hung up. Like, we can't travel outside of, you know, we can't travel beyond the move, you know. And so having the idea that something living could travel. So if you went to hunt for UFOs and you found one, like that's a level of terrified right that like you can't describe like what's going to happen I wouldn't I wouldn't I mean I could probably run away from Bigfoot but you can't probably run away from an alien yeah right no I don't know the chance are small if we're going off of all of our movies yeah there's um you're not getting away you'll you'll see something on on YouTube or

on the internet where they're like we we found something that's on Mars that could only be possible if there was living, you know, if there was a, it's not, we haven't found, you know, proof of life, but this, this could only exist in a, in a, in a situation where there was a living organism. And I'm like, don't touch it. Don't bring that. Don't bring that. Don't bring it back here. We're not bringing it back here to study it. We don't want, we don't know what's, yeah. Don't you take up that rock. You leave it there. Leave that rock right away. You know, because like, once you bring, you know, it's like Kudzu. You know what I mean?

You bring it here. It's like, you can't control it. Yeah. Trying to rid our property of Kudzu. It's like really hard. What's crazy is like every movie, aliens are kind of like the same type of thing.

Just like Kudzu. Yeah. So it's like, Alien diseases. Someone probably didn't just create this. Like they had have seen something that that's where they get it from. 100%. Everybody had just kind of followed suit.

Yes. But it's like, how do you just create this? The imagery came from something. Yeah. It didn't come out of like one person's imagination. Yeah. I agree with you there.

Although Bigfoot's like the stupid. at his thing. Well, I watched Harry and the Hendersons when I was young and I fell in love with Harry. And I'm like, if I see a bug foot, I don't feel like he's going to be that scary. I don't think so. I mean, he probably would try to eat your face off, but who knows? Maybe he's not. Maybe he's like a cuddly Harry and the Hendersons kind of thing.

No? I just don't think they are real. I don't think that they existed. Okay. I think it's more possible, more plausible that there's alien life than there's a Bigfoot. Maybe Bigfoot is an alien. I'm open-minded to the idea that Bigfoot could exist, but I think it's more plausible that the alien exists.

Okay. I think, like, the government knows stuff about aliens that we don't know yet. 100%. I will not disagree with that. That could be somewhat related to the fact that I'm Big Blink 182 fans, Angels and Airwaves, and Tom DeLong. He's also friends with the aliens. He's 100% committed to proving out the alien storyline.

Yeah. Okay. That makes sense. Yeah. I agree with you. I think there's a better fact that aliens over Bigfoot, for sure. All right, I'll get one more question for you. Aline wants to know if you guys have like a random food combination you like, for example,

ketchup on mac and cheese, that's a big one. Really? I mean, I've seen Ayla do that, but she puts ketchup on everything. She likes ketchup with her ketchup. I feel like when you're younger, you put ketchup on everything. You just kind of experiment. That was something that I saw my friends do that I didn't understand. My dad puts ketchup on his eggs.

That's a big thing in New York, too. Is it? Yeah, on an egg sandwich, they put ketchup on it. I hate it. Cache on eggs, right. That's a great example. Yeah. I was like, no.

Hot sauce, yes. Hot sauce, yeah. No. Ketchup, no. Does not fit. Ketchup is cold and you have a hot sandwich. I don't like that. Ew.

I remember my grandmother making me peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches as a kid. Those are delicious. We ran out of jelly. We just slapped some mayo on it. Sounds gross. Yeah. I used to just have mustard. I think the banana mayonnaise sandwich is an odd combo.

That's an odd combo. That's like a North Carolina thing. I got this drug on social media when I talked about that. So it's kind of a touchy subject. Oh, it's not. No. Like, I think sandwiches in general. So, like, they were, Helmonds had this deal where they were trying to come up with this,

they had this program called the Strange Witch. Mm-hmm. Like, come up with something strange. And that was one of our ideas. The other one was Doritos on, you know, like ham and cheese. Oh, absolutely. It's so good. You put chips in any sandwich.

Chips on a sandwich. Elevates it. Yeah. But that's not like a thing y'all just did for Helmans. Like, I've seen Kelly do that. Yeah. Just y'all grew up eating. No, we did.

We grew up eating those. Maneazin. Bannanae, peanut, peanut butter and banana. That's not strange to me. That is so good. Yeah. And also, I've gotten back into this where my dad would get tomato, bread, and salt and pepper. Yeah.

I've heard of that too. Yeah. And just eat a tomato sandwich. And when I was a kid, I'm like, well, it's ridiculous. Yeah. Like that is ridiculous. Because you have to eat it.

You have to, you kind of have to get a good tomato because it's got to, it can't be too, it's going to ruin the bread immediately, right? So you got to have the right kind of tomato. But I just thought, wow, how could that be any good at all? But, you know, now I'm like, man, I'll eat the hell out of one of those. What's your hot dog economic situation? That's usually a very debatable topic. So I can do a hot dog loaded with chili and all the things, but my favorite way to eat is just with mustard.

Simple. Straight with mustard, yeah. Okay. Mustard ketchup, some chili deal relish. That's a good one. That's a good one. I mean, honestly, everything is going on hot dog. Deal relish doesn't get enough appreciation.

I love relish too. Relish, in general, people think it's, when they say relish, when you say relish, people always assume it's the sweet relish. Yeah, the sweet relish. Which is what I prefer. Right. Yeah. Deal relish is the better of the relishes.

That's just not true. It is. It just, I don't know why. I don't know why the sweet relish has become so popular because deal relish is way better. Probably because of deviled eggs because that's what you put in a deviled egg. I suppose. Yeah. I like, no, I would prefer to have deal relish in the deviled egg.

Okay. Yeah. Pickled onion is on there and he used to be on it. Pickled onions are great. Yeah. Love those. Anything pickle-y on a hot dog is good. Yeah.

All right. That's all I got for asking me today. Thanks, guys. Thanks for your questions. If you haven't already, please hit the subscribe button on our YouTube channel. and don't forget to check out all of the merch on shop.dirtymomedia.com. We'll see you next week.
