Hey, everyone, producer Alex here. I hope you're having a great off season. We had a blast this year on Bless Your Heart, the first year of Bless Your Heart. And before we go on to the new year, we wanted to run back some of the best moments from this past year. Enjoy.
The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media.
Oh, yeah, this is why it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out.
Oh, you look amazing. I can stare to you all day. Are you kidding? I couldn't believe it. What's going to be?
on. The world is not your trash hand.
I slept till two, smoking cigarettes and drinking amp energy.
Lord, have mercy.
Let's talk about fan duel.
Okay.
All right, so we, this is a, you know, this is not an ad.
Because we do have a fan dual partnership here at Dirtymo Media.
But similar to how, similar to how excited I was when you wanted to get in fantasy football, the other day, you were like,
make me a fan dual account.
And it was for the Super Bowl.
And I was like, damn, all right.
She's like, I want to bet on the game.
Yeah, that's right.
You bet on the Eagles to win, they won.
You made, you know.
Yeah, so I'm like, if I go to Vegas,
I want to put it all on black.
I'm not putting it all over the table.
So I wanted to save that just to play a little bit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so you had a great experience.
And then you were gifted $200 in bonus.
Yeah.
So they gave me $200.
and bonus bets for my small little winnings.
They're like, okay, Amy, come on back.
And so I, I, what do you call it?
Ghosted.
They expire in seven days.
They expire in seven days.
So as soon as we get back from Daytona, I have like hours, an hour, whatever, to do my bets.
And so instead of trying to put too much thought into it, I basically just copied all
of Tim's bets.
Yeah.
Tim had a parlay.
Yeah, it's parlay.
And you, you, I won two of the three.
It was fun.
I was really, really hoping that the hockey team would pull that last one off.
Yeah, yeah.
We were a day ahead, so they, I didn't know they were going to bench all their players,
and that was a bad look for us.
They still almost won, and they had half their players out.
I told Dale, I was telling them this yesterday.
I stayed up to watch all three of the periods that I didn't watch the fourth one because I was tired.
He's like, Amy, there are only three.
I was like, oh, well, then I saw that one.
And she's like, oh, man, I'm tired.
Third period's over.
Hopefully they win.
I'm like, that's the end of the game.
Law and order is on now, but that's fine.
I didn't get that far.
I didn't get into the commercial yet.
Game's over.
Clearly I was tired.
So let me ask you this, the parasites.
You believe we all have some sort of a...
100% we all have parasites.
If you eat anything that's natural, raw foods,
there's a likelihood that there's some type of a parasite on it.
Yes, sushi.
Undercooked meats, absolutely.
And so they're all in...
Your body can actually get rid of some of them.
Your body can take care of that.
But if you have never, if you, if you overdo your liver with life, as we do, sometimes, alcohol, processed foods, whatever, your body can't keep up.
No, no, no.
So I feel like that the more alcohol I drink, the better and stronger my body is.
So here's the thing.
There is, there are videos on the internet where you can see what vodka actually, or, you know, olive juice, you know, like vinegars.
onion juice, garlic,
they can actually dissolve and kill parasites
almost instantly.
Awesome.
You can watch it happen.
But your liver gets in the middle of that.
You're not like dropping alcohol
straight into a parasite's mouth when you drink it.
Yeah.
So it doesn't work like that in your body.
Me and my friends called it the iron gut.
Well, there is such a thing as like having a...
You build up a tolerance.
Yeah, your body gets used to your actions for sure.
I'm not a lightweight.
I've got an iron gut.
I feel like the things that I've done.
And even if you put a few parasites down in there,
probably pretty good.
They're probably eating some bad things.
You do not have an iron gut.
You have a baby gut.
You have issues with your gut all the time.
Like what?
Poop it and fart.
That's like probably good.
I think that you have intolerances to dairy and meat.
We've talked about that.
If you eat those things,
especially at the same time, it smells like a dead animal's in the house.
Oh, gosh.
I think you would benefit heavily from a cleanse.
And we've done cleanses together.
This one's not so different.
You just take specific tinctures that help kill the parasite.
So you just pass them out.
You pass them out your bottom.
You pass them out your bottom.
There's an enema that you do every day to help flush it out.
What?
Uh-huh.
You give yourself an enema.
Yeah, you gave yourself an animal.
I've done that before.
Remember I told you I was doing coffee enemas.
Explain to me the enema process.
You shove a hose up your rear end.
Jesus.
And the water drains in and then it all comes out.
I can't do it.
I'm not doing that.
I've given you an enema before.
Stop it.
I'll tell everybody that.
I was having a medical issue.
It's called a colonoscopy.
You didn't have an issue.
No.
I'm giving you two, actually.
I was having a medical issue in my gut and was on some medication.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, I gave you the enema.
Yeah.
So I know how to do this.
Jesus.
It's really not that traumatic.
So anyway.
That's love right there.
It is love.
That's love.
I've done.
That's when you know.
Yeah.
When she will look at your bottom and she's still with you the next day.
I'll get a visual of the whole process now.
When she sees the worst parts of you and she's still there, that's when you know.
All right.
I mean, that's the show.
Good job.
Hey, hope you all enjoyed.
The fourth and final episode.
I have given myself coffee enemas in the last several months
The fuck is that?
So there's enema grade coffee that is like mold-free and all the things
And it helps to flush your liver
So like going backwards basically from doing the cleanse
Like taking all the t-shirts
You're just drinking coffee
No you're not drinking it.
You put it in the enema bag and it goes up
No way.
Yes and so I stop stop stop. Stop you stop
I have got to tell you this
I pass the parasite
The entire world
The very first time I'm
I did that.
So now I know, I have a picture, which I won't share with the world.
That's too much.
I mean, but you know it's a real parasite.
Yes.
What I'm saying is I know there's probably some more in there.
Oh, I'm sure.
That's why I want to do this.
Listen, I'm all for parasite cleansing.
I'm all for, I believe, yes, there's probably some little things running around in your gut.
You're like, yep, I could live with it, but probably get it on out.
It'll be better.
And I'm going to take this cleanse and poop out some parasites.
Awesome.
So here's the thing.
When they die in your gut, it can cause all types of gas and, like, stomach pains and things like that.
So that's why the enema is in place so you can get them out faster.
Too graphic.
It's pretty graphic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not for the lighthearted.
You're tough.
I'm a little weird.
It's okay.
I mean, hey, we're all weird.
But I feel like knowing now that I had that one come out, that very first time, there's got to be more in there and I want them out.
You're one out.
I can't stop thinking about it.
So here we are.
We're sitting on the couch.
I'm looking at my phone.
and the kids have gone to bed already.
We've had a couple of high rock cocktails.
And I see this Joe Rogan clip come up about,
he's interviewing someone, and I forget who it was.
But there's a book that was written in 1900,
legitimately.
This book exists.
And it tells a story about basically predicting the future of Trump,
or Baron, actually.
Baron Trump is the last president.
And I don't have the details,
I didn't get the book. I didn't really want to go down that rabbit hole. But it basically
kind of foreshadows all the things that are currently happening and might happen in the future
with Barron. And so I'm like, this is really weird. How can someone possibly know that? Do you think
that time travel is real? Do you think that this person actually traveled through time and
wrote the book, kind of like back to the future with the almanac, you know? Like, is it possible
that that's real and Dale Jr.
looks over me and he goes,
how can time travel not be real, Amy?
And I looked at, I'm like, wait, what?
And that's all he told me.
It's that there was nothing else.
And so I want an explanation
as to how he has just so adamantly
come to that conclusion
and could just drop that bomb like that
and then just, you know, leave it.
So.
Please explain.
Well, I don't have like hard evidence,
but you make a great point.
Well, no one does.
There's so many theories about,
things that you feel like could, you know, really plausibly be real, but there's no real evidence.
The way I feel about it is, so there are a lot of scenarios kind of like this book, right, that you're talking about.
There's a lot of things that will, that will kind of pop up in pop culture conversation about time travel.
And there's been sitcoms and shows about it.
And so, you know, time travel has kind of always been just like back to the future, right?
It's always been this mystery and this thing that we all wonder about.
What I wonder is who said it first.
Yeah.
So my feeling is that it's more than, I don't, I would say that if I had to guess, it is absolutely more than likely real.
Like it's more, I would say that it's more likely.
that time travel is possible and that there are, you know, so you got to think about, like,
in about, you know, there's a, there's a, there's.
It's just so hard for me to believe that someone who doesn't like metal chopsticks can
believe that time travel is real.
They got it, that go together.
There's some, there are some things that are missing to convince me that time travel is real,
right?
If time travel was real, we're humans, we're imperfect.
where we screw up,
somebody would slip up.
Somehow, if time travel was real,
some way somehow it would,
there would be a folly of sorts
that would provide us all
like the context of,
oh crap, it is real, right?
And so...
Please keep going.
That makes me feel like I got a hard question for you.
Yeah.
So that makes,
so that makes me,
that makes me,
doubt time travel because there isn't any real hard evidence. It just feels like if it was real,
there would be hard evidence. But I also know that, like, I don't know how far into the future
the human race goes. I imagine every several million years, there's like a turnover of, just like
the dinosaurs, right? The dinosaurs are roaming the earth. Something happens, you know, meteor,
whatever, dinosaurs are gone. There is got to be an image.
point for us as humans or there's a trend or there's something that happens out there in the
future millions of years down the road um so here's so there's this long runway right of technology
and long run way of studying and developing and learning and processing and there has to be there
I would assume the chances are really high that the discovery of how time travel could work
happens in the in the span of the human race right and it's in its entire existence on this planet and so i would
have moved i would imagine that it's likely we eventually um colonize another planet or right i mean
why wouldn't we why and and and certainly their technology will be developed to do such a thing
it sounds crazy it sounds like you've been watching too many youtube videos i just
have an open mind and I have a, I'm the kind of person that believes everyone is good, right,
until you prove otherwise, I'm not guard, I don't walk around guarded going, well,
everyone I meet might be an ass. I walk around going, everyone I meet is a really good person
unless they prove otherwise. Give me some hard evidence that you're a jerk. And so I think about
life and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
wouldn't it happen? Why certainly
it might happen?
Hey, this is Dale Jr.
And for the latest, bless your heart gear, go to
shop.durdymomedia.com.
We've got plenty of options for everybody
and adding new stuff every day.
Go to shop.durtymomedia.com.
I was watching this soccer match
and the team wins
and when the team wins,
some of the guys pull their jerseys off,
I guess maybe to hand it to a fan or whatever
and this guy pulls his jersey off and he's wearing
sports bra.
I mean, it's shocking.
And I was like, well, what is that?
And then I saw Jaden Daniels, my quarterback.
Yes.
Washington commanders.
He had one on outside of his hoodie.
Really?
Yes.
On the outside.
Why?
Gray hoodie, black sports pro.
At a voluntary practice or whatever, minicamp or whatever is going on right now.
And I said, we were on the plane going to the F1 race.
And I said, Amy, what is that?
Like, what's he wearing?
I mean, it looks like a sports bra.
It's shaped like a sports bra.
Do you know what that is?
And she goes, oh, I don't.
It looks like a weird fashion choice, which I, you know, could totally finally or totally admit to
not understanding.
But it turns out it's like a GPS tracker.
Yeah.
Connor told us it was like a for utilitarian device.
Yeah.
For what possibly could that?
It helps you track your workout, your heart rate, all things.
I'm like, well, what's it doing on the outside?
It's not touching your skin.
Yeah.
Also, there's so many other options.
Like heart rate tracking, like watches, bands, whatever that don't look like a woman's bra.
Yeah.
It's a two-straps scoop neck situation.
Yeah.
And they're just.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's odd.
I wouldn't choose that.
And it seems like an odd choice.
But it seems like they're all choosing it.
Somebody bought it on it.
Somebody's getting paid to choose it.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Somebody invented.
It's kind of like, what were those golden things that like Jerry Rice was pitching?
Copper bracelets. Copper wear, like the sleeves. Yeah. Copper fit or whatever. Copper fit.
It's like the new, it's the new trend. I don't know. They're up to like their knees.
Compression socks? Yeah, I don't get that. Don't understand what that is.
It feels like a lot. Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes when I drink a lot, I need some compression socks.
Yeah, totally. We should wear compression socks around the keys. Yeah. Yeah, so we're in the plane
and Connor's trying to explain this whole thing to us. And none of us are really figuring out like how to buy into it.
Connor had a, yeah, he had another fun tidbit about the Red Bull hat.
And Dale, it's like the elusive ungetable get now because you have to be a Red Bull driver.
Athlete.
Athlete.
Period.
You have to be a Red Bull athlete, sorry, not driver, to receive a hat with a Red Bull logo on it.
And you're like crowned with your hat.
So we get up to the Red Bull suite at the track and there's a guy.
A streamer, gamer.
Yeah, so he doesn't speak English very well, but he is like mega excited.
And we just stumbled upon him getting crowned with his hat and they gave him a jacket and the whole thing.
So we got to watch him get super excited about him.
We're like, Connor, what is happening here?
He's like, oh, well, he's, you know, a Red Bull athlete, so they just gave him his hat.
And Dale had.
Connor has a Red Bull hat, and that's the hat.
It's his, he wears, it's already starting to get a little dirty on the brim.
Yeah.
That's his Red Bull athlete hat.
And that's how you can tell, too, when you're in an environment like that, who they all are.
So it's very cool.
It's such a simple thing.
But it really rubs Dale's ego.
I've heard about this.
This is something I mean, I've heard about the athletes getting the hats.
But they were like, hey, man, you and Connor Zilich are going to do a little content about the Red Bull Soapbox race.
So I host with Mike Bagley on Discovery, this Red Bull soapbox race.
And it's out now.
You can go stream it on Discovery.
and basically it's hilarious and a lot of fun to watch if you want to check it out.
So I've been doing a little bit of work.
Red Bulls have been fun.
They're a great iconic brand.
I'm loving there back in NASCAR because I want them to succeed.
But we had this little content grab on my property in my gas station that I have on my property
where we shoot a lot of stuff.
And we're sitting there and I walk in and I'm like I had some other hat on like this.
And I was like, do y'all need me to change hats?
I'll put on a red bull hat.
I don't care.
Connor goes, oh, you can't wear a red bull hat.
You're not a red bull athlete.
And I was like, who the fuck of you?
Tell me what I can't.
Tell me what I'm going to wear my own property.
I was like, who's an 18-year-old kid going to snap back at me about what I'm wearing?
And this sweet kid is literally just like trying to tell him what the rules are.
Like, oh, no, don't break the rules, you know?
because it's important to him.
I'm like,
I should have snatched that.
Dale's feathers blew out.
I was so mad.
But I was like,
I, yeah,
I get it, man.
You know,
I kind of knew about this phenomenon.
And I'm like,
yeah,
no problem.
And,
but it,
all the while,
he's like,
every Red Bull hat he sees,
he's like,
I see him.
I know.
They,
but it was cool,
you know,
to,
it is a big deal to those athletes.
It is a big deal
of those guys
that become part
of that,
brand or part of that team.
And to watch this guy sort of get his crown.
Yeah.
And he got it from Max.
Yes, he got it from Max.
Like Max for Stappen, big deal.
Top of the chain in terms of Red Bull athletes, right?
Wouldn't you say?
And this guy, this gamer, I guess he has like millions of followers on his stream.
On his, like 150 million followers.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Wow.
Yeah.
It was cool to see.
He was like, there were some of his friends with him and they were so happy for him.
Like, it was, there's this really big moment in this guy's life.
Yeah.
But.
And then we kept teasing Connor after that.
I'm like, okay, well, who's that guy?
Who's that guy?
And I was quizzing.
I mean, like, I don't know.
I'm like, you should know your people.
Thursday mornings is cleaning day at our house.
We have a cleaning crew that comes in and helps us keep the house clean.
And they usually start upstairs in our bathroom.
And so, you know, it's harder to get ready when that's happening.
So Dale darts up there and gets ready and then gets over here.
But I had to get ready down in the guest bathroom, which was fine.
The Elvis room?
The Elvis room.
You know, so I'm trying to figure out how to get back upstairs.
I didn't take my extra clothes down there.
So I've got a tiny towel.
Those towels are not very big.
A tiny towel, my dirty clothes, my toiletry bag, and Junebug, who never leaves me out of sight.
Never leaves your side.
I've got all this trying to keep this towel on and get back up the stairs.
Well, the stairs are wet because they've been mopped.
And I'm like, well, shit.
What are you doing?
What is I going to do?
I go around back to the elevator and try to get an elevator.
Well, the doors open upstairs because somebody left it open after they took us down to pee in the middle of the morning.
So I can't get up the elevator either.
I'm like a sitting duck in the middle of the house.
I'm naked.
So like I'm frustrated and flustered.
I ended up getting upstairs.
I just went up the wet stairs.
And I got ready, dried my hair.
Like there's literally like ladies around me in the bathroom with me.
I'm not getting ready.
Yes.
And then I get downstairs, and I'm sneaking out the door before Jimbug can dart out and get my feet.
Well, guess what's going on in the garage?
Your Roomba, which he has allocated Mr. Mom, is in the garage running about.
Does anybody else have a Roomba in the garage?
It's not normal.
It's not sure to do that.
Did you back over it?
Well, I wanted to.
It was really pissing me off.
Hopefully you didn't run over Mr. Mom on the way out.
It used to be in the house, and it woke everybody up in the middle of the night.
Isn't that a great movie, Mr. Mom?
Y'all remember that movie from back in the day, Mr. Mom?
That's why I named our room, but Mr. Mom.
Yeah, Mr. Mom.
So Mr. Mom is all over the place in the garage.
Well, coincidentally, it's right in between my tires when I need to get out of the house.
And I'm running a little bit behind.
And so I wait.
I'm like watching that thing go back and forth trying to figure out if it's going to go under my car or go away from my car.
Well, the thing was about to go under my car.
So I just moved it over.
Well, it just turned and went straight under my car.
And I'm like, ah.
And so I turned it around.
And then it got in my car real quick.
Well, I had hit the button.
to open the garage door and the gate at the same time.
The room will escape?
I'm looking at, no.
We aren't that lucky.
Mr. Mom, he's out.
I'm looking at the monitor in my car to make sure I don't run over Mr. Mom,
and I ran into the garage door.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ran into the garage door.
So, of course, I'm...
Bad?
It went back down.
It went back up and again, so it's...
It's still working?
It's working, but it's going to need your attention.
Okay.
And I don't have a damn clue where Mr. Mom ended up.
So, sorry.
What a day.
Yeah.
Sorry, honey.
Here I am.
Yeah.
Here we are.
We're having a good time.
Yeah.
That's right.
Anybody else run into the garage door lately?
It's not just me.
I know it's not just me that ran into the garage door.
Nope.
I know you haven't.
I've never done that before.
I've backed into our garage door.
You have?
Yeah.
You know, you'll.
You'll.
Why don't men get to get away with stuff like that without getting scolded, but women don't?
Well, I'm going to scold myself.
Like you're acting like I'm, well, you didn't even tell me, though.
Like you didn't say anything because you could fix it.
Yeah.
Is that the reason?
What?
That you don't, we don't even talk about it because you're going to be the one to fix it anyway.
Yeah, I mean, it just bumped into it.
Oh, I did it pretty hard.
Okay.
Gosh.
The car is fine.
Everything's fine.
Yeah, we'll work on it.
I know we just got those rest-stained.
Are we going to have to refinish them again?
No.
No, you just need a dent-getter out or and bang it around.
A dent get her out of?
There's a dent in the garage door?
they're made of wood.
Is it crack,
pop, broken?
Oh my gosh,
I need to know.
I didn't have enough time.
Don't you guys?
All I'm going to say is one wheel isn't in the track
and there might be a little wood out of place.
I can fix the wheel in the track,
the wood.
I'm not a carpenter.
We got to start there to get the thing.
We'll figure it out.
Don't you guys,
when your wife's telling you like something
that she damaged,
you're like,
well, explain the damage
and they just really can't explain the damage
and you're like,
I need to have this.
I got to have this image in my head.
It's not as bad as it feels.
So I know what I'm up against, you know.
Yeah.
Well.
What did you say?
Listen, it's fine.
Yeah.
You know.
Oh, it's fine.
It's fine.
We're all fine.
I've got a physical coming in next week.
And so I'm talking to my doctor in this patient portal on my phone.
I think that's so weird.
It is.
I used to have my doctor's number.
And would call him.
Talk to him.
Hey, man.
Yeah.
Bo bra, blah, blah, blah.
Do I need to worry about this?
Is this okay?
Yeah, like a normal conversation.
Totally.
Yeah.
He retired.
New guy comes in.
They get bought or they're, they're part of something, some, you know.
A big system.
Big system.
Yeah.
So you can't call the guy.
You, he sends you notes in the portal.
And you get your blood work results through the portal.
So you can see him before you even talk to the doctor about it, which is terrible.
I've talked about this.
I'll go get my blood work or anything, right?
And you'll get the test results before the doctor, you know, you get the test results and you go looking at it.
And you're like, oh, okay, that's out of range.
What does that mean?
You know, and you're Googling and it's scary.
Yes, good chance to spiral before you actually talk to anybody.
And you're like, oh, dude, talk to my doctor.
And you can't.
But he will send you notes.
So like I got my test results.
Three days later, he sends the note.
Hey man, you know, this is good.
This is good.
Everything's good.
This is good.
This is good.
We'll talk about this.
We'll probably fix this.
Work on this.
And I'm like, yeah, okay, good.
And I was like, I was like, well, that one thing's elevated because, so apparently
you're not supposed to, before blood work, you're supposed to just like drink a ton of water
for like a long time so you don't get dehydrated results.
You don't have sex, 72 hours.
before or so.
You can't eat for 12 hours before your blood work.
You probably shouldn't, you know, you probably should eat really smart for about
three, you know, two or three weeks.
So your results are relatively all flat and level.
Like you wouldn't want to eat about, you know, three fried chickens two days before you
go in there, right?
So, you know, well, we didn't adhere to the sex part.
Yeah.
Right. So this one thing was elevated and I was like, hey, in the portal, he's talking to me.
And I'm responding in text as well. And I'm like, yeah, well, that one thing might be high because I didn't have sex, you know, within 36 hours of the test.
I'm thinking I'm having a conversation with my doctor. And all of a sudden this.
And already talking about literally intimate things. Yes, intimate things. And then another person replies.
I guess like his assistant or lady, she goes, y'all can talk about this when you come for the visit.
And I was like, what?
Someone else is here?
Yes.
Who are you?
Yes.
Who are you?
How did you get here?
I mean, I thought this was a conversation with my doctor.
And it was.
And he was responding back.
He was.
And he asked you all these questions.
He did.
And she's like, not today.
Jeter.
Y'all can talk about this.
I was like, oh, my God.
I have been feeling terrible about that since.
Well, she should feel terrible if we're interrupted.
I'm so embarrassed.
It's a weird thing.
The portal is weird, but that takes it to a whole new level.
It felt like it was like this private lockdown conversation.
All of a sudden, there's a new person.
We're talking about blood work.
We're talking about, you know, personal details around all of that information and data.
That alone felt like it should just be a me and him conversation.
Yeah.
And he is asking me stuff and talking to me in this, in this.
It's like a text thread.
Portal.
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, all right.
You know, well, I did have, I did do, I did have sex.
So maybe that's why we got that reading or whatever.
No, more people were in there.
Yeah.
And it was a female too.
That was the other thing that made you feel.
I can't wait to go.
I can't wait to go to my physical and have a conversation about this because I'm going.
I can't believe you didn't write back in there like, who the hell are you?
Well, I might.
I still can.
Yeah, you should.
I would.
I'm going to go and I'm going to open it up and say, hey, man, who is this lady?
Can I see her?
Where is she?
Where is she in the building?
Do we know this?
And why is this not a wall in conversation?
And when can I have that?
Because that's what I need, right, with my doctor.
Especially at my age as you get older.
Oh, yeah, we're not doing all this technology.
We're going to be doing all kinds of, you know.
I always used to think, like, no way I'm going to be that way.
When I get older, I'm just going to adapt and go with the flow with all the things.
It is just something you're not willing to do.
It's not that you're not capable.
You just don't want to.
Yeah.
Like, I don't want to do this portal thing.
I want to talk to someone.
I know.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I had a, our old doctor, incredible guy.
You know, saw him forever.
had a relationship.
This new guy, maybe it's going to take a while.
I have his number.
I text him, but maybe he's changed his number.
I'm going to ask him when I'm at the physical and say, hey, can me and you, can I just talk to you?
You know, I mean, I know we probably can't do that with every patient, but I don't know.
What's the difference in doing that and then doing it in the portal?
Right.
Yeah.
Same process.
Because I certainly don't need.
I don't want to have a conversation in Sandra come, but then.
There was one night, so there was one dinner.
Yeah.
And this was a dinner that Amazon hire-ups put together.
So it's going to be one of those deals where you show up,
and there's a table of 15 or 20.
It's going to be a long thing.
And which you know me, I like to sit down, order,
get to check, and get up and leave before anyone else has even got there, you know.
finish their plate.
I'm ready to go.
But, you know, it's, we're going to go to this dinner.
So everybody's in the cars and we're riding over to this restaurant and we get to the curb and
we get out and we go in the door.
And in the door, it's the boutique that used to work at.
It's like lavender.
Lavender.
So it's like a small like just boutique for women's clothing?
It was a small clothing. It was a small clothing boutique.
Okay.
We walked into the door and there were, there was like swimsuit rack, blouses, hats.
Blouses.
There was a group in the corner putting makeup on some girl.
You know, they're just doing makeup in the corner.
There was a cash restier and a clerk or, you know, just ready to retail you up.
And. . . . . . . . . did the girl look like she was being dressed in all?
Like she was a model?
I have a clue.
They were just doing her makeup.
I couldn't really see.
Like, it wasn't facing me,
but I could just tell someone's getting
their makeup done over in the corner.
Okay.
Across from, and it's a boutique,
it's clothing.
Well, so that doesn't usually happen
in a clothing boutique.
So that's already like one weird thing
happening in the store.
Across from the desk,
where the cash register is on this wall,
it's a glass booth,
exactly like this,
where these guys are sitting.
It's a glass booth.
And in that glass booth
is meat,
hanging meat,
dried meat.
Like a,
like a refrigerator?
Big old pieces,
big giant pieces of meat
where you might cut off a T-bone
or slice off a steak.
So it's like a curing box?
Yeah.
And they were in,
they were in their own little cases in there
and they were hanging,
just hanging.
So it was like,
it was like clothing boutique
meat.
So weird.
Yeah.
Clothing boutique makeup girl meat.
Yes.
And I'm like,
all right.
And I have no clue.
Like,
there's nothing telling me, go this way to the restaurant.
There's nothing.
So you're just wandering aimlessly.
We're just standing in there.
I'm like, there's like 10 of us, 15 of us like shuffling five feet into this place.
Nobody wants to go too far.
But the girls didn't say, hey, restaurants that direction.
No one's saying anything.
That's so weird.
And I'm like, I don't really know where to go to get to where food, steakhouse is or whatever this is, right?
Maybe they were hoping you'd buy something.
So I'm just standing there.
Finally somebody's like, hey, man, we're supposed to go to.
to the elevator. So we walk through the, through the store, and around the corner, and there's
an elevator, and we hopped on this elevator, and it goes up, and it opens up, and awesome,
nice steakhouse. I sent you a picture of it. Yeah, you did. Looked awesome. Look like a steakhouse
supposed to look, right? So now I'm like, okay. Now we're out of that weird. It's kind of making
a little bit more sense. Yeah, that was a weird entry. The meat downstairs still is kind of
battling. I know. Yeah, but so we sit down and it's a big table. A lot of people. A lot of people,
people. We had David Chang, chef David Chang, sit with us, which was cool. He was the only, he was like the
surprise, I guess. So we're sitting there and we order our food. And this was interesting. So we're
sitting there with David and David wanted to order for us. But what happened, he didn't get the chance
to do that. And he goes, y'all, you know,
I usually would, I would suggest in the future if you go to a restaurant and they're like,
hey, do y'all want us just kind of bring it to you? Don't do that. He says, they'll,
they'll bring to you what they can't get rid of. Oh, gross. Not that it's old and bad. He's just
like, they're going to bring to you the least, the least sort of ordered items. Which is the less
desirable stuff. Yeah. But I mean, they brought, they brought steaks, fillet, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
salmon flay
salmon
salmon
yeah a little salmon
five six eight ounce
salmon pieces
they brought a couple of things
it wasn't bad
it was I mean
it was okay
the stakes were super rare
really rare
um the salmon
was super rare
woof nothing
super rare
so you know
we kind of nibbled on this stuff
but we're like
we got our drinks
that's pretty early
and all sudden
the music gets super loud
we got a speaker right here
and it's like
holy crap
too loud for you
nobody can talk
You can't hear a person next to you.
Wow.
Turn around and there's 20, 20 or 25 probably under 25-year-old girls.
Good Lord.
They're 20 to 22, maybe younger.
And they're modeling the clothes from downstairs.
So the chicken or makeup done was a model.
Yep.
That's why the girl was getting the makeup done.
So they're coming.
They just walk through, turn around and walk out.
And the music just plays.
he's really loud.
And they're all, you know,
they're just wearing clothes.
Nothing, it's not like they're in a costume or an outfit or there's a theme.
Yeah.
And they just walk through and walk out and it stops and everything goes back to normal.
And then so we go back to chatting and talking.
And I thought, okay, that was just like a little thing.
I guess it happens.
So the music comes on, but there's no MC like, hey guys, da, da, da, nothing.
I mean, they might have said, I wouldn't have understood.
I know, but you would have heard that.
Yeah, no, I didn't hear that.
The next thing, five, ten minutes later, there's a guy that starts playing guitar.
And it's great.
Sounds awesome.
He is dressed up like he is dressed up like he is a megastar.
He's got on like rose.
Like he's got on a whole outfit, very loose.
Like silk?
No.
Moderns?
No.
Does he run a cave?
No, no, no, no.
So you know how, do you know how?
Who sings?
Elton John?
Oh, Billy Ray.
You know how Billy Ray looks now?
Yeah.
Right?
And he's.
So he's bejewled?
Yes.
His hair's got a lot of stuff in it even though it looks like it's dirty.
This guy is looking like Billy Ray Cyrus and he's got on dark glasses.
It's 9 o'clock or 8 o'clock at night, you know.
And he is playing this guitar.
And he's like.
like hanging off the edge of his stool and he's moving, you know, and he's grooving.
But he played for literally 45 seconds, a minute and a half tops, not even a full song.
What?
Yes.
And then he stopped.
And then he left.
Was he singing or just playing the guitar?
Nothing.
Just playing the guitar.
But he was like, it was loud and he was like, da, da, and then he just stops.
And it ended just quickly as it started.
And then it all went back to normal.
And then five or ten minutes later, the girls are back.
They walking through all the new outfits.
And this kept happening while the food's coming and while the thing's coming.
I would have been very overstimulated.
It was.
Like Kennedy?
And so, and yeah.
And so I think it really wore Steve out because LaTart, you know, we get done with the nibbling on our food.
And the dessert hadn't even been talked about yet.
And that's definitely probably coming.
And he's like, I'm ready.
I'm ready to get out.
I'm ready to go.
That's not like Steve either.
He likes to sit and chit chat and like.
Like he loves a leisurely dinner.
And so the Amazon folks, this one girl in particular, Amy, she's awesome.
She's like, hey, y'all can go ahead.
Well, don't worry about it.
Y'all can go.
And she's like, oh, I got to go.
I got to get out of here.
And so we got up and we left a little early.
They were there.
Apparently they were there quite a bit longer.
During this dinner, one of the coolest things happened, I guess.
So David Chang sits down and I'm learning who he is, right?
Yeah.
And sitting between me and David Chang is Trevor Bain.
Trevor Bain is the real star of the Prime broadcast.
I know everybody loves Carl and Corey and there's everybody's got a particular thing they love about it.
But Trevor's like the secret sauce.
Tell me more.
Well, he, his delivery, he, when you say, hey, Trevor, man, you know, our producer will say, toss it down to Trevor.
We'll be in the middle of the race.
Something's happening and he'll go, Trevor's got something to add and you'll go, yeah, and that's a heck of a corner ran by that guy, Trevor.
And Trevor will go, yes, sir.
And then he starts his, you know, his ad.
And so he got razzed about that a little bit, like, save the yes, sir for like one really good.
Yeah, you can't say it every time.
Yeah, he would do it every time.
So his manners are just too good for y'all is what you're trying to say.
He's just so happy to be there.
Yeah.
And he tries, he wants to do a really good job.
And he has, in just a very short period of time, turned into somebody who does a great job with his ads on pit road.
He adds awesome information.
Gotcha.
Really does.
And he's the sweetest guy.
Yeah.
Nice as can be.
Just incredible.
And so we're sitting there.
And he goes, hey, David, did you know Dale Jr. has his own beef jerky?
Oh, my God.
That's how this started.
I was just going to ask you.
Like, I knew that you did this, but I didn't know how you facilitated it.
And I was like, yeah, I just bought into this company.
And I started spitting it out as much information.
I could as fast as I could.
I was like, you know, yeah, and it's like, I named Blake and his brother.
And I'm just like trying to tell him before he loses interest really quickly.
Yeah.
And, and he was like, I'd love to try it.
And I said, I got a bag.
I'll bring it tomorrow.
I'll give it to you.
You could just take it.
And he's like, okay.
And so the girl from Amazon, Amy, sitting right across me, she's like, I'm going to make sure this happens.
And so the next day, she's like, hey, I'll bring him up to the booth.
He comes up to the booth.
And I'm got the bag and I'm going to give it to him.
And he even says, let's make sure we film this.
And so he tries to jerky.
He's like, sweet, salty, proper chew.
Really, you know, you got to chew it.
and you've got to chew it
and that gets the flavor coming out
and it's awesome.
And he's just like doing his chef thing, right?
Yeah. And I was texting.
Were you sitting there waiting for him to say anything negative?
No.
Like a real critique.
I was just going to delete all of the evidence.
If he said anything bad.
I was just going to go,
all right, give me your phones.
I know, but I know who you are.
Were you sitting there waiting?
Yes, I was nervous.
For him to go,
no.
Hell no.
This is the best jerky in the universe
and I knew when he ate it,
he would go, this is the best I've ever had.
And I was not,
worried least bit that he was going to dislike it.
Yeah.
But I was wondering that it might be so good that he'd be afraid of overselling it.
Like he would be afraid of like being too unbelievable, right, too dramatic.
Like, oh my God.
I feel like he would have done that more if it was terrible and been like, hey, behind the scenes,
you know, you could kick the salt up a little bit or you could do this a little bit.
I knew it was perfect.
And I knew when he tasted it, we were on our way.
Yeah, so he loved it.
Yeah, he did.
So we had a boat trip yesterday.
We haven't, we've got the, she said no.
It's a, for those that don't know,
she said no is a fiberglass hole, houseboat,
2002, Gibson, and it is in really good shape.
And so pretty cool, interior, top deck, all that.
And I was looking at this thing on the internet.
We were sitting on it yesterday on the lake,
and I said, man, I cannot believe.
sitting on this boat after staring at it on the internet for like six months. She goes more like a
year. It was. It was at least a year. We had discussed it. I talked you out of it. And then all of a sudden
it's in the driveway.
Yeah. Lo and behold, it found you again. Yeah. It was weird how that happened. So I was just, I just,
I'm one of those kind of people that like to just look on a car trader and just, just, I'm not
looking for anything. I'm just kind of curious is what's out there. And,
boat trader RV, four-wheeler, whatever ATV.
I'm trying to see what everybody's got and selling and all that stuff and what things are worth.
I do that with houses Zillow, all that stuff.
So I saw this, I missed my old house boat, but I didn't love it.
I didn't love the interior of it, certain things about it, but I did miss having it.
And we had a pontoon, had a lot of fun with that.
But, you know, I wanted something to spend a night out on the boat,
on the lake and stuff.
So I thought one day maybe I might get a boat that we could sleep in.
So I started looking at all kinds of boats and different things,
and they're very expensive.
But I saw this Gibson and looked at the other Gibson's and saw the price and thought it was good.
I showed Amy, and I'm looking at this thing and looking at it every couple of days I look at it.
And I'm like, oh, man, that thing does look good.
I wonder what it smells like.
You know, I wonder what is it, you know, is it smell okay?
Is it smell bad?
So it didn't smell good.
That's just say that.
Anyways, I'm good.
The boat's out of my life.
I actually went back on the internet.
It's gone.
The listing was gone.
Somebody must have bought it, right.
All right.
That's probably better.
You know, somebody else buy it.
I'm glad it's disappeared.
I didn't need that.
I didn't need to do that.
That's my, you know, it's okay.
And months go by.
And my niece, Carson says, hey, boat you're looking at.
I talked about it on our podcast.
She says the guy that has that boat still has it for sale.
I was like, man, you can't be talking about the same boat.
I mean, of all the boats out there.
How do you know?
How did this guy get back to you?
And I was like, send me a picture of this damn boat you're talking about.
And I'm expecting to get a photo and not be the boat and go, hey, it's not the boat.
This guy don't know what he's talking about.
Sure enough, sends a picture, and it's the picture.
Wow.
It's the boat.
I'm like, all right.
this is the universe.
This is,
this is fate.
It's a sign.
It's a sign.
It's calling me.
The boat needs to be in my life.
And so the boat needs me.
The boat needs me.
The boat needs me to fix it.
So I made a long list on,
I made a long list of that I needed to know about this boat.
Does it stink?
Does this work?
Does this work?
Does this work?
I don't want to buy a boat.
I got to fix a couple certain things that were going to be really tough to fix.
Yeah, major things.
Long list.
So I send Sunny and a boat guy, a boat expert, marina guy, out to Gatlinburg to look at it.
Sunny gets on it, sends me videos.
He's on it, riding on it, tells me everything's fine.
So we bought the boat and took a while to get it over here.
It went to a ship, it went to a marina and sat in the yard, jacked up on stilts,
and we worked on it and cleaned it and fixed a lot of things and put all the carpet in it.
got it ready we furnished it and um we called it she said no because amy because this is just a joke
yeah yeah and um yeah until recently i think amy just finally it finally clicked for amy i think in the
last month or so yeah i mean i'm going to enjoy the boat it was fun it was fun going out yesterday
we decided we were just going to take wednesday since there was nothing on the calendar
and go hang out with no kids awesome they had school it was great and it was great and it was
great. We sat there. It took me, excuse me, it took me a solid four hours, so like truly relax.
I asked Dale, like, what time is it? Because I actually just stopped thinking about all the
things I have to do. And it took about four hours. It took him about an hour and a half,
but we get on the boat. And we get out of the slip, no problem. We cruise. Dale throws the
anchors out. And then all of a sudden, the boat dies. Oh, no. The generator goes out.
I mean, he had cracked one beer. And we had just sat down.
upstairs, then he's like, there's no motor. There's nothing's going. The radio stopped. Everything
stopped. And he's like, oh, crap. So he goes downstairs and I stay away just to not get in the business.
And he's got the deck flap open and he's looking around where the engines are and everything,
the batteries. And he's tinkering and mess in. And I feel like he's going to figure it out at some point
because he just is good at that. You know what I mean? I was not worried whatsoever. I was getting
a little hot up there. I'm like, oh, crap, I hope you, like, get.
it moving soon. All of a sudden I hear his pitch. Like he's got Sunny on the phone and he's
FaceTiming, just trying to work through it together. And I hear his voice get really high pitch.
And I didn't hear what he said, but I knew it wasn't probably something nice. And so I like
slowly slink down the stairs and like get a little closer. And like, is there anything I can do
to help you? And he's like, not unless you can fix a fucking generator.
I'm like, I'll just get my broomstick and go get my wand and I'll be right back. And I went
back upstairs and just sifted my wine.
It was, you know, texted with Sunny and Katie.
It was like, oh gosh, this is bad.
This is so bad.
He's laying on his belly with his hand in there, just pushing buttons and pulling on things.
Oh, man, I'm sweating up a fucking storm.
Oh, he's red in the face.
Because you've got to get down in the engine compartment.
We just ran the shit in things to get out in the water.
Yeah.
And it's got a little water and sludge in the bottom.
It's just part of it.
It's just part of it.
I'm like, oh, no, he's going to have to get down in that.
So Key West.
again, we used to go to Key West all the time.
We did.
Raise all kinds of hail down there.
And, you know, a day in Key West in my head, everybody does it a little differently.
But you get up in the morning, you get some food, and you kind of cruise into a couple of beers
around lunch or just a bit before lunch.
And you just kind of steadily hang and go from bar to bar and just enjoy music and whatever.
And one, two, in the morning, you go to bed.
One two in the morning.
Yeah.
I went to bed at like 9 o'clock every day.
Every night.
With a nap in the middle of the afternoon.
That was our thinking back to.
I need to get out of you.
Yeah.
Thinking back to like years ago, that's kind of the process, right?
And it was day after day after day of that.
And obviously as we got older, we slowed down.
And now when we go down there and try to try to at least, I mean, because it's kind of the only key West we know.
So we go down there and that's what Tim and his wife like to do.
They're kind of younger.
They have a route to like they start a one place and they have a circuit that they take.
Yeah.
And so we went down there and had fun, tried to hang out.
it worked.
Yeah, so flying in was an adventure because we're not going to talk about that.
What happened?
Well, oh, shit, yeah.
Well, so we're flying in and you go over the water.
So for a while, you lose your Wi-Fi.
So you're forced to have to chat with your partner.
So Dale and I are just sitting there like giggling, laughing, talking about what we're going to do,
excited about our trip, hoping June mugs okay, just talking about all the things.
And we're getting ready to land and like really close to landing.
And I look over at Dale and I was like, you know,
know what? I didn't hear the landing gear to go down. Did you hear the landing gear go down? And that's
usually a noise. It's pretty prevalent. Like you don't miss it. And he goes, actually, I didn't.
And so I start to scramble in my mind, like just spiraling very quickly. I'm like, should you go tell
him? And he's like, no, I ain't going to tell him. Like, well, all right, giddy up. We're just,
of course the landing gear was down. It's just we were chitchhating and didn't hear it. So we had a great
flight and then all of a sudden I in my nervousness and I panicked and made Dale panic.
Yeah, with the with the crash we had a couple years ago, we're kind of a little anxious about
flying still. But the couple weeks, a couple of a week ago, two weeks ago, I had the same
feeling. We were landing and I thought, I didn't hear the landing gear because you hear it.
And I was like, I didn't hear the landing gear. Well, I'm sure they got it down. I mean,
of course they got it down. And they had it down. I mean, I mean,
I don't, you know, it's silly.
But you can't help but have these, like, little thoughts creep into your head.
You know, every time I'm in, you're like, well, I didn't hear it.
So now you're neurotic just in general.
But you're surely not going to go up to the cockpit as they're descending.
Like, literally there's the runway.
Hey, guys, right? Landig gears down, right?
As they're physically going to let that.
I mean, I'm throwing my arms down like white knuckle.
And he goes, and just straps himself in tighter.
I just pull my belt tighter.
That's what everybody, like TJ always told.
Tighten him belts.
So I just tighten the belts.
Anytime I have any concern, I'll just tighten the belts.
He just tightens his seat.
I'm like, okay.
That'll do it.
But there, our pilots already know that we have, you know,
we're over-sensitive to the things.
Yeah.
A level of anxiety.
They know it.
You know, we talk about it.
We talk to them about it.
We're pretty open about how we feel.
in terms of flying.
And so, yeah, it was, it was funny.
We landed, they landed, they landed the plane and I feel so bad about this.
Because Dale is also nervous and spiraling, but he wasn't talking about it like I was,
because I was stopped talking.
So we get out of the plane and I'm just quiet now.
So the pilot that landed the plane is Jeff.
All right.
Our, our lead pilot, Joey, was at a wedding for his family.
Yes.
And so we asked Jeff.
our old pilot
who we love
and trust 100%
who was
who was with us
when we had the crash
at Bristol.
We asked him to fly us
to join Alex
our other pilot
to get this trip done.
So he's actually
at the controls
in the left seat
landing this plane
and he's a phenomenal
pilot
would trust him with my life.
Military experience,
he's great.
So he lands a plane
and we're just
thrilled that
we only see him
like once a year when he comes in.
Yeah, every once in a while.
Flies our plane every now and then, right?
When Joey needs him, he's always good to do us a favor.
And so anyways, we get off the plane and we're just having nervous energy, right?
Not thinking about what we're saying.
And Jeff is also very excited to see us.
And he's like, gosh, it's so cool to see you guys.
I don't know.
I haven't been to Key Weston forever.
And it was like, everybody's just over talking, right?
Yeah.
And I said, yeah, everybody's over talking, especially me.
And I said, Jeff.
I was like, we thought for a second, we weren't sure we heard the landing gear land.
And I thought, man, we're going to land this thing and slide off the end of the runway.
And that came out of my mouth to the guy who was on the plane with us when we slid off the end of the runway.
In Bristol.
And I was like, huh, really random choice of work.
Just like, come on, man, you know it's okay.
Just like, oh, man, no.
I know.
And I'm thinking, ban.
Why?
Is that what I wanted to say right now?
What the hell was I thinking to say that to this guy?
And so, but we love Jeff.
And I'm sure he's like, yeah, whatever.
Yeah, he knows how awkward and silly we can be.
That was, that's one of them times when you say something, you're like, as soon as it came out, I was like, that wasn't funny at all.
No.
So that's how we started the trip.
We have talked about this on this show before.
And, um, um, um, um, um,
Is this serious?
You seem very very far away.
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 know, it's too far.
It's too.
It's 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, floor of Fort Dale.
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 of that movie that Disney, Pixar movie,
with all the emotions.
Oh.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
And then they're filing and things away.
Oh, yeah.
I bet we could ask chat GTP to create the photo of what my brain looks like in
and compare, you know, with that, with those image or images, with that movie in mind.
Oh, man, I might have to try that.
I bet it can do it.
Yeah, but it can.
Yeah.
Do it while you're in the deer stand.
That'll give you something.
Yeah, I'm going to 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 farm.
And he always would bring us back pickles.
And he started out just bringing us a variety of this and that.
And Dale fell in love with the pickles.
And he's talked about him, the garlic and all that stuff in him.
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 big fan of deal pickles through our water burger in
Connapples, 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 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, I'll be a fission to that.
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're 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 like 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 think 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,
and 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.
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 leave a day later. He takes the kids to Talladega and I drive home. He's like, don't forget that jar
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, they 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 a Elvis, one of Elvis's favorite meals was like a half pound of bacon sandwich or some.
Something Iloody.
Yeah.
And he would do, he would do peanut butter and banana fry.
Yeah.
Like he would get a peanut butter
banana sandwich
and make it and fry it.
Like skillet fry?
I don't know if it's skillet fried
or dump it,
dump it fry.
I don't know.
But
my mind is
everything this man ate
is no wonder
why he died on a toilet.
But I'm just saying.
So we're going to stick
in the vinegar
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
Yeah, well, we're gonna beer to the left
And stick with the vinegar and the pickles
Back to the pickle story
So we got six cases of those pickles
And we got to shop around
And buy jams and all kinds of amazing things that are lovely
We've never had more than one case
So like we got six more than we've ever had
I got nervous we got home
and the girls are out in the front,
so I'm going to meet them,
and Dale's putting the pickles away all on his own,
and Dale likes to hoard the pickles.
He likes them so much.
He really doesn't want anybody else to eat them.
So he'll keep them in a garage
and bring one jar in at a time
and put it in the back of the pickle section
of our refrigerator.
And so generally speaking,
unless there's just juice in there,
I don't even see this jar of pickles.
So I was worried about where he's going to stick them,
and he piled him up and let me be aware of where they are.
So maybe I get to eat some,
