Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up everybody? Producer Alex here. I hope you're having a great off season. One of the best parts of Bless Your Heart, one of the best segments, is the Ask Amy portion of the show where you, the fans get to ask Dale and Amy, anything on your mind. We have a lot of laughs, sometimes some serious conversations, but most of the times it's some silly debates. So we gathered all the best moments from this past year on the Ask Amy portion of the show, and we wanted to share with you guys before the new year starts. We'll see you next year and hope you enjoy. The following is a production. of Dirtymo Media. Oh, yeah, this is way it's going to be, girl.
Starting point is 00:00:36 If 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 on? The world is not your trash hand. I slept pill two, smoking cigarettes and drinking amp energy.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Glory, have mercy. Shifting from kids to you guys, if your love story was a rom-com, what would the title be? What's a rom-com? Romantic comedy. Oh, why don't they just say that? It's the thing. You've never heard rom-com? No.
Starting point is 00:01:10 It's a term. I thought it was like an expo for technology. You're going to the rom-com this year? They got that new invidia card. The 50-90. It would be called The Princess and the Clown. I don't know. What our rom-com be called, Ralph?
Starting point is 00:01:31 What is it where the expo where all the people get together and they dress up? Comic-Con? Comic-Con. Yeah, it reminds me of that. It's the rom-com, but the Comic-Con. Yeah. Close, I guess. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:45 You're better at this kind of stuff than me, so what would our title be? What were the title be? If our love story had a romantic comedy, what the title of movie be? Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Princess and the clown, probably, something like that. Does the chat have any good ideas? I'm sure they do.
Starting point is 00:02:00 They probably have better ideas than we do. Checkers or wreckers? That's pretty funny. Amy and her three kids Oh Lord Then there's another one from Kenny He wants to know Is there any advice on how to become the fun uncle
Starting point is 00:02:21 Or aunt maybe Listen, you're either fun or you're not Kenny, sorry I think that if you are funny to your friends You'll be funny to the kids Fun means paying attention Yeah Play with them, play outside with them
Starting point is 00:02:37 Jamie and I have had a few conversations with being, she's of the fun aunt. And she's got nephews, no nieces. So when she was around all these little girls, like all of our friends have little girls. Yeah. And she'd poke at them sarcastically. I'm like, don't teach my kid to be a smart ally. Please quit that. And I'm like, you don't understand.
Starting point is 00:02:58 She's going to get a feeling hurt and cry. She's not a boy. She was like, what? We talk to each other like that. I'm like, yeah, we're adults. So as long as Kenny. Yeah, you are quick. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:11 That's one thing I've learned about all kids, boys or girls. If you play with them, if they want you to do, like, they want you to color with them. If they want you to. Be pretend. Pretend. Just do it. That's all they want. They just want you to be on their level.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Undivided attention. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He put some, like, you know, should I take them like mini golfing or bowling? And I think, like you said, just play with them. I think it's pretty good. Don't overdo it.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah. Because then you set the expectation more pretty dang high. You know, outings are a lot. What's your favorite birthday dessert, I guess? Oh, well, my favorite cake is carrot cake. Oh, okay. And Dale insists on getting my red velvet every year. He refuses to get me a cake like.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It's not a fruit or not even a cake material. It's also not your birthday. I know, but damn, I just can't make myself. Why? Why? When you're buying cake for your wife, buy what she wants. Let me get a tomato cake. You could do better with chocolate.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Let's get a celery cake. How about some corn cake? I don't know. What the hell? It's carrots. It's like a spice cake. It must have been tough times when they were like, yep, carrots is all we got. I want a cake and that's what the hell we're doing.
Starting point is 00:04:22 We're making a carrot cake. Must have been tough times. You're getting carrot cake for your birthday. Hard times, as Dusty Road would say. You don't know hard times. They're still making it in mass production because it's delicious. I don't think I've ever had a carrot cake. cake.
Starting point is 00:04:35 It's so good. It's got like spices and nutmeg and cinnamon and stuff like that in it. You don't even taste the carrots. Okay. I need to get my little Dust Rose figurine over here. You don't know hard times.
Starting point is 00:04:44 We used to do carrot cake. Bill, are you from West Virginia by chance? I was just about to say. You are, please comment in the chat. You listen to the show to get that joke.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I love those. So I do like carrot cake, favorite dessert. I don't know, chocolate chip cookies. I'm pretty simple. I don't eat a lot of sweets, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah, no. But chocolate chip cookies is more of the hard outside and a soft inside. Yes. That's the perfect chocolate chip cooking. Me and Amy came up, well, I'm sure this has already happening somewhere, but me and Amy came. We had a really cool thought for a dessert the other night.
Starting point is 00:05:16 We were at dinner, and they brought out this cheesecake that had been sort of half dipped or covered in chocolate. That hardened, so it was like a dip cone. It put in a freezer. And so, yeah, it was like a dip cone. And so, like, taking, and it had a little, coconut on it all through it, which some people are good with that,
Starting point is 00:05:38 but I'm not a coconut. I don't like the pulp or in my orange juice. I don't like the coconut in my cake, right? And so I was like, man, regular cheesecake dipped in chocolate and frozen. They do that in Key West. Yeah, they do that with the Key lime. And I'm like, somebody around the world's doing this little,
Starting point is 00:05:57 you know, just a little slice, right? Little, little. I'm like, so basically you want bonbons at dessert because that's all that really is. And it reminded me of the awesome cupcake sushi we used to get. Did y'all get that one all right down there? Oh my gosh. People initially
Starting point is 00:06:12 I know, I didn't even think about doing it. When people hear that for the first time, they go Cupcake sushi, what in the hell? Like cupcake with fish and they think it's like sushi blended like sushi and cupcake mash up? No, that's not what this is. It is. Go ahead. It's like a cake pop. It's cake and chocolate and it's rolled to look like a piece of sushi, but it's dessert.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And it's got like sprinkles and different like chocolate beads and things on the top to look like the caviar. It is all dessert and it's absolutely delicious. And our friend Lori down in Key West patented it and she started selling it out of the fish market a while ago. So we found it there, but she does ship now. She sends it everywhere. Yeah, we used to eat it at least a dozen
Starting point is 00:06:53 times a year. Yeah, that's probably one of the most unique things we've ever found. We had her come to the house once. What event was at? our something to do. It was for our engagement party. It was, our engagement party. She come and set up and everybody got cooked cake. Yeah, she made it in front of you as you were ordering it.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Just like the sushi guy would do. And it's cold. You keep it in the refrigerator or the freezer. And it comes in the little sushi tray just like your, you know, order of, you know, your rolls. You two to roll. Or whatever. And you can keep it in the freezer and you just walk by there and grab one.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Everything Dale does is like, we'll walk by the freezer. I'm going to walk by and get a swig. I want to walk by and get it. So good, though. Tim, first says, Amy, he wants you to take Vana White's job when she retires on Wheel of Fortune. Ooh, I feel like I'm too old for that.
Starting point is 00:07:40 She's like, Van White is. She's been, she's up there. Yeah, you got to be at least 30 years, 40 years younger than her. I know what I feel like I'm still too old to start. You know what I mean? Like we need somebody in her 20s. I'd like to see you do that once.
Starting point is 00:07:53 That'd be cool. That little noise it makes when you turn it. Dun-n-n-n-n-you- If I don't even have to press it, you just got to fake it, too. Oh yeah, it doesn't turn anymore Oh, then we're out No, you need to, we'll bring back the turn for it Please
Starting point is 00:08:05 We want the old school version We gotta walk over there Nudge it That'll be our demand We want more work Yeah, that's what we want Yep But he wants to know if you could go on
Starting point is 00:08:15 Or host any game show Or reality show Which one would it be? I would like to go on Steve Harvey's show Family Feud Oh yeah We honestly
Starting point is 00:08:27 We got so close to do that that right before Mimi passed away. Yeah. And it didn't work out because of timing and everything. But yeah, that would be super fun. Wow. That'd been cool. Were you supposed to go up against like another?
Starting point is 00:08:37 Another group, like the family. Like a celebrity or whatever were. Pam's a few to be fun. That'd be really cool. No reality show or anything like that. Like Big Brother, Survivor, Amazing Race. No, I don't think I'm made for TV. No?
Starting point is 00:08:49 We watch, we talked about Southern Charm. We watch Summer House too. I think it'd be fun to go to a party. It would be fun to just go to a party. Yeah. Just kind of be in the background. Like watching all that happening in real time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Their parties are pool parties, especially around Fourth of July, they're all themed. And so like everybody's dressed up, it would be fun. It's pretty crazy. To hang out. Yeah. We're a little too old for that too, but not too much. I mean, they're in their 30s and 40s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:14 We're on the cluster. Yeah. That'd be cool. Just be in the background. I like that answer. Yeah. That's a good one. Our next question is Tom wants to know if the Easter Bunny is going to be as generous as the Tooth Fairy this year.
Starting point is 00:09:23 The Easter Bunny is even more generous. Really? Yeah. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. We do Eastern Nests in the Yard. I talked about this.
Starting point is 00:09:32 We pull the Spanish moths off the trees. The kids all make their little nest in the yard and they decorate it. This is Amy's Texas family. Yes. These are hardworking Texas people. And I will say this. Amy's family does all of the holidays to the max. It's like it might be the last one.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Let's just go for it. We love a good time and a party and an event and we love giving gifts. Could you say that's right? We didn't do crap. We'd get a little basket from, you know, Target or Walmart and with some, you know, just a traditional thing right off the shelf. But Amy and her family, they get the Spanish moss off the trees and they make nests for the kids. Yeah, the kids make the nest in the yard. Yeah, the kids make the nest and then we take the kids on a hayride to look for the Easter Bunny.
Starting point is 00:10:22 And while that's happening, the rest of the adults are filling those nests full of all. all kinds of fun, crazy toy, candy, snacks, all kinds of stuff. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's good. When we grew up, there was just three of us. Me and my two sisters, dad didn't have any brothers and sisters, so we didn't really have any cousins. Mom had one brother who didn't have a son until, like, way later.
Starting point is 00:10:46 So it wasn't that epic of an event. Like, it was still fun, but now there's a lot of kids. And so the yard is full in us, and it's chaos. And they get out of the car and immediately get their, they have their baths, They go Easter egg hunt all around the yard, and then they sit at their nest and they open all their stuff. It's so much fun. Yeah. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Is the Easter egg hunt like the premier event? Yeah. We'll go to church on Sunday, which is awesome. Yeah, we do all this on Saturday. So it's just like fun day at the farm. Yeah. Church on Sundays in Victoria, Texas at the local church. And other, the rest of the weekend, we're, you know, grilling, cooking, sitting around a campfire and chairs.
Starting point is 00:11:27 like this one and watching sports or just listening to music or sitting around. It's a four-wheel and. Four-wheel. Yeah, kids are riding four-wheelers. We'll go inside to the farmhouse and sit around the kids at table and laugh and Joe. Play dominoes and different games. Yeah. Chicken foot, all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Nice. That's awesome. It's a blast. It's so much fun. That's not a lot fun. Next question. Also Easter theme from Jessica. She wants to know if you ever dyed eggs with the girls for Easter.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And if you did, how messy does it get? I have. So I've watched all of the videos and I did it with, shaving cream and you put the dye in the shaving cream with like the cupcake molds. And so each little thing has its own color and they get their own dish. And so, and I always do that stuff outside. I mean, everything. It's a problem. Messy happens outside. Yeah. But it's easier for them to see what they're doing too. And they can make it swirly and they have way more fun with that. I haven't done that this year. You know what I like about Easter eggs now that's come out?
Starting point is 00:12:22 This didn't exist when I was young is where you put the egg on the thing and it spins and you draw, take it with Sharpie or a marker or something and you can make it whatever color you want with a sharp, I mean, what the hell? We do have that little thing. So all the little plastic eggs, though, have been taken to, like, the play room and used to actually play with.
Starting point is 00:12:41 But you can do real eggs on that. I've never tried a real egg on that. Yeah, because it's white and you can color or any color you want. Well, the egg in the game is hollow plastic, so it's real light. I don't know if a real one would. word, but we could try. Yeah, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I love that. That's easy. I've seen so many fun things. I saw a thing the other day where somebody took old ties that they had gotten from a thrift store. You can do this with any fabric. And they put the vinegar water in the dish, but they had wrapped the egg up with this printed fabric and, like, it put the print all over the egg.
Starting point is 00:13:11 You remember the old school deals that you slid over the egg and dropped it in the hot water and it sunk to it? Yes, yes. Plastic shrink wrap, yeah. And you're like, man, that's kind of like the ghetto trailer park version. That's like everybody's tired. Let's just do this. Yeah. Man, that's what I've done that.
Starting point is 00:13:27 There's nothing wrong with us. Yeah. Yeah. That was fun. Yeah. No, I mean, yeah, that's what we had. Hey, this is Dale Jr. And for the latest, bless your heart gear, go to shop.dirtymomedia.com.

Sarah wants to know what's been the most unexpected part of working with each other on Bless Your Heart. The unexpected part? Yes. Honestly, I feel like it's kind of brought us closer together. I mean, I thought we were as close as we possibly be, but we're having fun getting to play like this with one another.
Starting point is 00:14:06 We've worked together before on little projects here and there, but nothing quite like this. So, I mean, for me, that's probably it. Yeah. I don't know that anything's unexpected, but I am enjoying watching Amy kind of venture through this, process of putting herself out there and being a bit more of a public figure and the response to that and how everybody's been great. Everybody seems to enjoy the show and hearing a lot of comments
Starting point is 00:14:34 where people are like, you know, all of our Del Jr. Download listeners that have been diehard NASCAR and race fans and listen to that content are, you know, telling us, I'm sitting down with my wife and she's watching this with me and now we're doing this together. And so it's also bringing other people together. That's been a big surprise seeing a bunch of comments like that. But we did run into a lady in the airport yesterday that said that her husband, she said she saw him and she texted her husband and he said, you should probably see if his wife is there. And of course I was standing on the other side of the stage. And so she came up and talked to me. But he told her that. That's right. Oh. Which was interesting. Yeah. So that right
Starting point is 00:15:13 there is probably my favorite part is we went, we got asked to go judge this burger contest at the at the airport yesterday and Amy was a judge. Amy had a microphone. Amy was walking around on the stage. Amy was nervous. Talking. You know, there was an emcee and Amy was looking around and talking about what she was seeing.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And her, she would just never have done any of that before. She didn't want nothing to do with none of that. But she's kind of like almost not got a choice in the matter if you're going to kind of do this show and kind of we're going to do this together and kind of put ourselves out there when she's going to find herself in more situations like that. And it's just fun for me to watch her navigate that. I have gotten far more comfortable being in front of a camera and that kind of thing
Starting point is 00:16:05 where I would have totally locked up if you had to ask me to do this like five years ago. Yeah. I literally would have gone mute. Yeah. It just was not possible. I'm not comfortable. When we first met, she wouldn't even give me a picture of herself to have. No, I didn't have selfies and no photos to say.
Starting point is 00:16:22 I didn't have a picture of her on my phone. And like, I'm like, can I please just have a picture of you? Imagine dating this girl. I lived in Florida also. I wasn't around. Imagine dating her and not being able to like see her. Can't show any of your friends. I didn't have social media.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I was on those people. I didn't have a Facebook page or my space page. Yeah. There you are. You know, and nothing. Nope. Wow. For weeks and weeks.
Starting point is 00:16:46 He had to see me, see me. And so, yeah, eventually she sent me this one photo, and I had one singular photo of her to look at for like months. And then finally we took a selfie together. And then I've still got those. I still got that picture, the very first picture we took together. Yeah. And so, yeah, I say all that because she's very, like, not comfortable in front of a camera. So it's been fun watching her adjust and improve or whatever you want to call it.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Yeah. Would you say that's one of the things you've done? learned the most spectra self-hamey that you've become more comfortable, I guess, in front probably. Yeah. I think doing, so doing ads with the agency that I work with a little bit, as kind of giving me a little bit of shift in that direction. And being around Dill for so long and doing certain things with him where they're pre-taped that, like any of those Homan's deals we did, that stuff helped me as well. But it's just not something I seek. I don't need it, but it is, it's fun to do because it does help me kind of peel back a layer or something.
Starting point is 00:17:48 I don't know how you would really describe it. Danny wants to know. You guys talk a lot about music. So if you could only listen to your favorite song forever or never hear it again but just keep discovering new music, which one are you picking? So favorite song forever or never listen to it again? Never hear it again. That's pretty easy.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah, that's a pretty easy one. I feel like even if it's your favorite song, everything starts to torture you after a certain amount of time, right? I think there's the odds that you might find a new favorite song. Absolutely. Yeah. If you're listening to new music all the time. When's the last time you think you've updated your favorite song when people ask you?
Starting point is 00:18:22 I have a rotating. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think I do. And it's dependent upon the person asking. Really? I'm like, I'm not sure if you're ready for this. I might give you this one. He plays to his crowd.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah, I don't think you're ready for the one I really want to tell you. I don't trust you to appreciate it. He just doesn't want your judgment. That's what it really is. So is Eminence Front, your real favorite song, or is that just? I'm like, no, there's like, there's like, there's a song that I like and I'm like, yeah, I don't think you're going to appreciate it the way I do, Sue. I'm going to tell you something else. I'm going to tell you what you want to hear.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Wow. What? That's a question in which group I'm in. Oh, I mean, you know, I think the more I get to know you, the more I trust you with that type of knowledge. Okay. That's very secret of knowledge. Man, somebody takes himself seriously. When you first meet me, living on a prayer, man. That's not, baby. It is some like really obscure down the line. Deep, deep dark stuff. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:19:22 five years down the road. You're like, whoa, this is. I mean, there is some truth. I guess you can't really hit him with like, I like bodies.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Like, you know, I can't really hit him with that. Some aggressive, but that's, you're a level of one. You get this song. You're going to get this
Starting point is 00:19:35 when we get to know each other. Hey, I lied to the first. Well, it's an obscure artist from Canada. This is a B-side song from 1998. And they'll be like, well, you lost me when you said obscure.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yes. So sorry. I'm not, yeah. It's off the beaten path, independent. Yeah, I get that. Next question is from Bella, kind of the same along the same lines. Would you rather travel to the past and meet your ancestors or travel to the future and meet your descendants? Ooh, future descendants for me.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Holy smokes. We already know what happened in the history, right? Like the history of your family, where they were, what their names were, what they looked like. We're privy enough to know even like what they sounded like we're talking about. I'm going to the past. He's going to the past. I want to see what my great, great grandchildren look like and what life looks like. I think the odds of you going there and being so freaking.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Pissed off. Pissed off are so high. Why? Gosh, I mean that you could be very pleasantly surprised, but there's, you're, knowing how you are as a parent, how my parents were, how, how we are as parents, how my parents where we're going to go forward into the future and get there and go, why in the hell did y'all do this? Maybe they need me.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Why are you wearing that? You know, we're just going to. Why is no one wearing clothes? Why wear all the clothes? Yeah, I don't know what the future holds, but I'm not sure that I'm ready for it. And so I'd like to go into the past and be like, man, you boys ain't going to believe this. Yeah. Y'all don't know what's about to happen.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Let me tell you some things. Yeah. The fact of the future series were some of my favorite movies. So I feel like, I mean, yes, going forward was frustrating for the whole scenario, right? Like in that movie in particular? And going back to the Wild West was... Going back would be fun because you kind of know enough to keep yourself out of trouble. Yeah, you know?
Starting point is 00:21:35 And... I just don't think I'd be able to survive. Let me ask you all this, though. Like an old rough wife. Has the back to the future movies, if you went back in time, right, and you go, Are you like nervous about like upsetting the, the path? The algorithm? The algorithm of life?
Starting point is 00:21:53 No. I'd take full of edge by the ad. Would you buy the almanac and take it back with you? Yeah. Well, I mean, not so much that. I'm talking about your own descendant, you're direct, you know, if you go back in time and you're like, hey, you're hanging out with your fifth great grandfather or whatever. You know, five generations ago.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Your own children's lives. And you convince them to do something that you think is pointless or meaningless in the moment, but it changes the entire path. of the family, you know, would you worry about that? No, no. Because, like, it's, I have good intentions, I think. And then if somebody else down the line screws it up, well, it's not technically on me. Well, you know, like, he went back and he almost, like, erased his brother and sister.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Like, he screwed the whole family. Yeah. Well, that would suck. That would suck. I don't know. I'm going forward. I think we've decided forward back on. We talked about time travel on here, didn't we?
Starting point is 00:22:42 A little bit. Of course we've talked about time travel and aliens and Bigfoot and all the things, you know. Everything's on the table. What era would you go back to? I mean, that's hard to do. I know. Yeah. It is.
Starting point is 00:22:55 What generation of your, what part of your family's history would you want to visit? Yeah. Yeah. Specifically. Damn. See, because I don't think you can go back too far to where there's no, like, cars on the road or anything like that. I'd still like to have, like, the Model T or something. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:23:14 You want to go way back, back, back travel. Way back. I would probably move on a plague. era. So the Earnhardt's traveled from Germany to Pennsylvania on a ship. And I think I'd like to kind of, I don't, I know as soon as I got there, I'd be like, give me the hell out of here. But I think I'd kind of want to go back and see what they were, what was up, you know, what was going on? Coming over? Huh? Coming over to, from Germany. Yeah, coming over. And what happened when they got here? They get off the boat and somebody was
Starting point is 00:23:44 sitting at a desk and we're like, what's your last name? And they wrote it down. And they gave them 200, acres or something like that. I gave him a plot of land and said, all right, go, go to your land, do what you do. I'd kind of want to know what all that process was like because we kind of have it in our minds what, you know, you imagine it would be like, but big moments like that. Because the Earnhardt name was spelled so differently in Germany, but they got off the boat and they told the person sitting there was they had to get off the boat, they had to pledge your allegiance to the queen to be able to be citizens.
Starting point is 00:24:19 and be granted access to this property that was being given out, and the person wrote their name down as they heard it, and that's how the Earnhardt name changed. It was Aaron Hart. Yeah, it changed because that's how that person writing it heard it, who was probably not German. They were just a person, right? It was tasked to do that for that day,
Starting point is 00:24:37 and then the name changed in the ledger from their own, right? And so I needed to be, I want to be there. Hey, whoa, whoa, you wrote that wrong. That's funny. You spelled that wrong. that'd be cool to see it's kind of funny that we put it like that
Starting point is 00:24:54 that there's just somebody and you know how people talk back then could you imagine being around all those people no you'd be in jail they wouldn't like you hang out just free
Starting point is 00:25:01 willy-nilly on the street they block you up yeah well I think it's just funny that there's some guy that was his task for that day
Starting point is 00:25:07 and if he cared he would write it down right if he didn't oh no he was he was gonna see so hundreds of people coming off these boats and he's just like
Starting point is 00:25:14 yeah whatever yeah this is your name now I mean you got with you yeah one child whatever next question from Debbie, she saw Dale tweet out a picture that you guys got engaged 10 years ago yesterday,
Starting point is 00:25:24 I believe or so. Was there something you did on your wedding day that you'd recommend every bride do? Probably not on the wedding day. Because we didn't really, like, I regret not seeing him before the wedding. He didn't want to do that. I regret not getting more pictures and stuff like that before because we got married later in the evening and all of our pictures are dark. I regret not having that first looks thing. Because we didn't do engagement. photos or anything. We have no pictures otherwise. But that's really the only reason. The surprise of seeing each other was fabulous. You know, when you... You told me that there was, I can't remember exactly what it was, but there was something about the, you know, being around your family,
Starting point is 00:26:08 your girls, your girlfriends and all that, something about that that you might have absorbed more fully. I can't remember what it was, but you told me you were like, man, there was this thing that happened or this experience that was going on that I wish I would have really took in better. I can't remember what that was, but I remember you talking about that. I don't know. There was a lot going on on our wedding day. I would advise if you're why, no matter what your wife says or your wife to be says, I would advise against seeing her before the wedding because it would be great either way, surely. But not, I was in a room with my buddies. and we were all hanging out
Starting point is 00:26:52 and they're cleaning everybody's neck up. They had a couple girls in there that were, they're trimming and carrying on and ripping on our nose hairs and all that. Yeah, the full spot experience.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Oh, boy, they put that hot glue in the, in your nose right up in here. And we had these little popsicle sticks. Had these little popsicle sticks hanging out for like five minutes and then they'd come out and rip them out. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:27:14 hell yeah. I mean, it hurts, but you're like, hair's gone. No more tickling. So all that was so much fun. And then, you know, you move on from that and you're standing on that stage and everybody's in the room. And the next thing you're going to see is Amy or your wife.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And it was, if I had seen her an hour or two before, that moment might have been different. Yeah. And I will never forget what, I'm not saying that shit just because she's sitting here. I will never, ever. ever, ever be able to replicate the feeling I had when she turned the corner and faced me and started coming down that aisle. There's no feeling like it. So I would like try your best to hold off. I went and stayed in the tree house. Yeah. You know, to stay away from her and not be, and try to really, and that was awesome. That was so cool to be able to, you know, have that feeling
Starting point is 00:28:13 and it'd be so genuine. I'm not sure it would have been the same. It was still been good, but not quite as perfect. Yeah, I kind of agree. I had a friend do like first reveal pictures, what they call it. And it was like four hours before the wedding. And it kind of felt like the actual walking down the aisle part wasn't as maybe special for even the spectators. Because you're not, you're not a guy. I've seen it where they take the pictures where like you're separated by something. So you don't have to actually see each other. But like you have pictures. Those are daylight. Yeah. So that would have, that's just the only thing I regret not having more photos. If we have plenty of photos, but like it's party scene stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Like we had a great, amazing wedding. We had two parties. So many people. It was New Year's Eve. We got married and then had two back-to-back parties. The wedding reception. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Doors open, like you went into another space and then we had the New Year's party. So like it was a really awesome time. Y'all, y'all, I can't drive this point home. We had the reception, which had a stage, a band, Congo line, dancing, drinking. felt like that was like an hour and a half, two hours. And then a curtain fell and there was a ballroom and it was New Year's Eve party. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:21 So you walked through and like went into a whole different space. I've raised a lot of hell. Partied my ass off. But I've never had a back-to-back party. That's an amazing idea. Y'all, we're going to party our ass off and then immediately start again. A totally different party. That's something we need to try to replicate.
Starting point is 00:29:40 That's tough too. Maybe on our 10th anniversary, we'll have another New Year's party. A back-to-back party. That's interesting. People in the chat now want you to list off your top three favorite parties. Oh, yeah. That's hard. That might be it.
Starting point is 00:29:53 It is hard. K-Wess, QS, QS, K-WES. I don't know. No. Our wedding night was the best one for sure. There's been some fun parties. see it go anywhere, but her question is, do I even need to break up with him or can I just ghost him? I would say ghosting is like the easy way out, but also you're going to feel guilty about doing that. I would, I would just tell him like, hey, this isn't working. I think you're great, but let's just be friends. Three dates, though.
Starting point is 00:30:30 That feels like an easy. Yeah. After three dates, how connected are we? Well, that's what I'm saying. They're not. Easier to ghost there. Like, you just, I'd not. They kind of get the hint.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But that's just so rude. Like, why are we doing that? I have. I have some advice in this. Take her to the ax throwing thing? I just have a motto. Okay. This isn't something I would have written on the thought board.
Starting point is 00:30:55 It actually does. It works across, it works for everything. Okay. The hardest thing, the hardest thing to do is usually the right route to take. Yeah, absolutely. So like if you say, you know, it's easy just to say screw it, not call them, just going about my life. Yes, that is the easy way to do it. But the best way to do it is usually the hardest way.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And it's good for your character to do that. It'd be the most uncomfortable and awkward, but it's the right way. You're going to feel better about just, even if it's just a text message, you can send that and just be done with it. I send it and block him. Like, at least you said something. Block them. I mean, that's hard. He won't know.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Mute him. Oh, my God. Vote up other than block. He was to pass him with his poor fellow. And blocked. Double whammy. At least it's better than ghosts and have no answers. It's just a bad day.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I didn't know anything bad. Break my heart. It'd rip my heart out. Your heart's already broken, I think. I know, but you, like, ripped it out and then you stomped on it. You didn't have to block me. I wasn't going to harass you. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Well, maybe he will. I feel that's a situation. She's going to have to deal with that. Wait for the harassment before you go, you go, blah. I mean, you know, if you break up with somebody and then they're calling you two days later, you're going, man, kind of, you know, can you read. you know, can you rethink this? That's when you say, all right, nope,
Starting point is 00:32:13 going to have to block you. I told you didn't want anything to do with this, not interested, I'm moving on. I don't know. I feel like it's better to sever it all together. You have said your piece, which you absolutely should do.
Starting point is 00:32:27 And if you wait to get a response and he's like, okay, cool, then maybe you don't block. But what's the point, or just to lead his contact, I don't know. Amy's going to break up with you, block you,
Starting point is 00:32:36 and then get a restraining order. Yeah. Listen, when I move on, I move on. I want to see it, hear them. I don't want to ever see that again. Smell it, sniff it, look at it. The next question is from Jordan.
Starting point is 00:32:50 My kids are going back to school for the first time. It's back to school time. How can I prepare for that moment watching them get on the bus and drive away? Ooh, that is always scary and unnerving, watching your child go to school for the first time. Dale and I, we didn't have to use the bus. And so when we dropped ILA off for preschool the very first time, it was during COVID and everybody had masks on. And like they literally came to the car and took her out of the car seat. I think everyone was traumatized.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Dale and I sat in the parking lot and cried. Do you remember that? He didn't want to leave her. I'm like, she's got to go at some point because we delayed her going anyway because I was pregnant with Nicole. So she went in January. It wasn't even like this time of year. Oh, wow. But it was traumatic.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Yeah. I don't think it matters what the scenario is. you are always like a little unnerved by that. But, you know, they're usually pretty okay. And they're more resilient. Like, they're going to get to school and have a great time. And you're the only one that's really sad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:48 It's fine. The one thing that I've learned is they will get out of the car or get on the bus. And they may be like melting down. Yeah. Melting down. And you're thinking in your eyes, you're thinking, this is how they're going to be all day. and this is just this, this is the emotion they'll feel until they get back.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Not true. The day is ruined. Dude, and they're going to hop on that bus or they're going to get out of the car and go into that classroom and in five minutes, they are like, they have forgotten it. They don't even, they're on another thing and you're, all that's a distant memory. But you're still sitting in the car going, oh, they're going to be okay. Yeah. Half the time they're feeding off of your energy.
Starting point is 00:34:34 That's why they get emotional to begin with, you know. that's why um so amy would take ila and all ila would always take it you know manipulate amy and get emotional she still does it i can't do school drop offline amy has a hard time like well i'm not soft i'm like get out of the car we're not doing this it's embarrassing or holding the whole line up get out of the car and that would make her melt down more for some reason she just hops right out of dale's truck well so that's the ride in you have to play the right music you have to ask the right questions you know and if you're looking i can look in the mirror and see eyeless eyes and tell if she's starting to get sad or get nervous or get anxious or worried and you got to start like, you know, popping questions or hey, you know, you turn on some music you know she's going to love, start singing just to like change her thought. Dale's ammo to it to like get her excited about something that's going to happen after school
Starting point is 00:35:28 or the next day or this weekend, like look forward to something else. So like just distract her from her mind because she'll kind of spiral downward and it's hard to get her out. And I'm not good at that. That's the way I operate in my mind is like if I have something I'm nervous about or dreading or not looking forward to, I look at the thing past it. I look at the thing in front, beyond it that I am excited about and go, well, I can go through this. That's happening next. I can do this because this thing's out there in front of me. And Tim Duggers are the same way as a buddy mine.
Starting point is 00:35:58 And me and him both, we always need like a thing to look forward to. Yeah. The next nibble. What's happening next? Dude, when I, when there's sometimes, it's rare, but there's sometimes when there's like nothing out there in front of you. And you're like, man, I'm, I'm depressed. Why am I so depressed? I find that to be peaceful.
Starting point is 00:36:19 No. I know. I need a thing to look forward to. I don't care if it's like you and me for a couple hours on the boat in, you know, out in front on a Friday. I don't care if it's a trip to Key West. It doesn't have to be, it can be giant, it can be something small, insignificant. but I need like a thing. I have to have something I can look at them.
Starting point is 00:36:38 So I make the things. Like I'm making dinner and I'm like, I'm going to serve dinner over here and we're going to put candles out. Like we're going to have a candlelight dinner and they do that for the kids, especially when you're gone to make it just fun. I need to look at my calendar and like see a physical thing on there that makes me go, hell yeah. I'm looking forward to that and I'll do anything you want me to do all the work and things
Starting point is 00:36:57 and travel and whatever because I'm going there and I'm doing this when it's all over. Yeah. But back to your question. They're going to be fine. The bus ride is going to be fine. And you should plan something for yourself that morning, like a brunch, even with another parent, or go get your nails done. Or I don't know who this is asking. Is it a girl or guy?
Starting point is 00:37:17 I don't know. Just find something to busy your time. So, like, get your mind off of it too because your child's going to be fine. I was in second grade. Yeah. Today was day one. Oh, okay. She gets out of the car, looks it.
Starting point is 00:37:29 There's an individual that has opened the door for her. she gets out looks up and goes first day of second grade grabs her back starts hauling ass in the classroom I was like man this is different from like two years ago two years ago we were not getting out of the car every single drop off was
Starting point is 00:37:46 hard is she going to get out is she going to get out is she going to cry she going to get out yeah so it hasn't gotten better as she's gotten older oh yeah oh yeah she's like very extra with her emotions Nicole piece out the very first day she didn't look back so you know it just depends on the kid If you have a kid that is emotional like Ila was, it's probably like a two-week, maybe a month max of a bit of a struggle.
Starting point is 00:38:11 It eventually goes away. They get for them. They make friends. Yeah, they make friends in classroom. I can't wait to see Kate. I want to sleep over with her and I want to see this friend. And they start looking forward to getting with their buddies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:26 How about you guys? You got any back-to-school memories from when you guys were a kid? Do you remember how you were? The only back to school or drop off line memory I have, because we lived so close to the elementary school, dad would just pick us up and he'd walk us home. Usually mom would drop us off in the morning and go to work and then dad would pick us up and we would just walk home, which was fun. One morning mom was dropping me off and she had an old Camaro. What year? Do you remember that? Do you remember the Camero sitting in the garage?
Starting point is 00:38:53 No. 78. Yeah, 702. 80. Yeah, something in the 70s. Yeah. So I slammed my finger in it. and the door getting out, my thumb.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Like, I couldn't even pull it out. They had to get out. She had to get out of the car and undo the door latch. It was stuck right there in the latch. And so we had a substitute teacher that day, and I remember this mean lady not even letting me go to the nurse's office. And my finger was bleeding. It was purple.
Starting point is 00:39:19 And the fingernail eventually even fell off. And my dad came up there to pick me up and lit that lady up. He was so mad. And that's the only memory I have of that. I have one more chewing. I think I've said this one before. I was chewing some peanut M&Ms. Same car, I think.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And one of my teeth fell out and I was, I tromped it thinking it was a peanut. Oh my gosh. I didn't hear that. That's crazy. Both traumatic. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Nothing happened again when you get old.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Oh, gross. Oh, man. Yeah, that's gross. Jessica is our next question. This is a good one. apparently there's a new dating app in her city for dog lovers. So you can post their dog and that's how you match with each other, I guess. So she's wondering what kind of dogs would you think would be a red flag for a guy to own?
Starting point is 00:40:13 Ooh, I don't think that any of them. Do you think a dog, like any type of a breed is a red flag? Kind of. Like if there's like a big old guy with like a little tiny like chitzu or something, you're kind of like, rescued it. If they just don't, you kind of end up looking like your dog. So, like, that would be odd. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:34 They do say, like, you picked something that, like, matches you. Like, I feel like a man should have a masculine dog. You know what I mean? Like, I just, no, if they show up and, I don't know, I struggle with that one. You're like, what happened here? And why did you end up with that tiny dog? Why do you have this little tiny, like, I don't know, what's another little tiny, like a chitzu? A Pomeranian or Chihuahua.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah. And they're like, hey, babe. You're like, shouldn't you have, like, a lab or like a. Is it your grandmother's dog? Yes, it better be. Or his... He's using his grandmother's dog to get dates. That has happened way more than not.
Starting point is 00:41:05 There's people doing that. Yeah. For sure. You guys don't have small little tiny, girly dogs, do you? No, I have a lab. See? See? A lab.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Or like a German Shepherd or something like... Yeah. Exactly. I know a guy who's like, he was a big buff dude, like 6'4 built nice. He had that little terrier just like on his on his hand. And he was showing it around to girls in bars. And I thought it was a real cheap way to do. that, but I was like, that's not going to work.
Starting point is 00:41:29 She loves a dog, but she's not going to go home with him. She's going to hold your dog for you while you're at the bar, but she's not going to go home with you. No, exactly. A golden retriever that just comes up and lays on his back, that's how, that's what you want. Like, who's the guy on TikTok that's got that big dog that, like he travels with? It's like a sheep dog. Have you ever seen that?
Starting point is 00:41:46 He, like, puts it in his backpack and, like, travels with his little sheep dog. He hikes with him on his back. I'm like, that's cool. Yeah, that is cool. Yeah. What about if he owns like a cat or something? Dale had cats. He also had dogs, but yeah, he's like an animal lover in general.
Starting point is 00:42:01 They were big cats, like huge. A man koon and a manx. Like they were giant cats. Oh, those are kind of cool cats. Yeah, they were neat. What would be the coolest animal that you go over like and he's got? Honestly, a dog. Really?
Starting point is 00:42:13 A dog would be it? If a guy's got like lizards and snakes and stuff like that, I'm out. You know what Clint wants? A kangaroo. Oh, that's cool. I'm like, because we need it. But I think that's kind of cool. And what if it kicks you?
Starting point is 00:42:26 well you're done for you can't find kangaroos but wouldn't that be cool to be like hey here's my kangaroo I mean it's kind of cool right Clint want ever I know and I was like where the heck can you have kangaroos in North Carolina I don't know I don't know that's a great question we do not have any kangaroos but he's like let's get some kangaroos anybody around has a kangaroo Clint boyer really wants one I don't even know watch out Laura they're going to show up we're going to show up we're going to show up with like three kangaroos yeah yeah they're going to be fighting in the backyard So that would be kind of cool if you like went on a first day and he's like, you want to meet my kangaroos? Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:42:59 I'm like, yeah. Kind of. Kind of. Awesome. He's so excited. Alex also wants a kangaroo. I'm a kangaroo now too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I did one of those drive-through savaries one time and a zebra came up to the door and that was the coolest thing ever. I mean, maybe because I had food and they weren't too violent. But I'm like, imagine you just like, you want to see my zebra and this thing just walking around your backyard? Zebras are less scary, I feel like. Are they dangerous, though? I've heard they're dangerous. Really? They're really dangerous.
Starting point is 00:43:25 I feel like a kangaroo would be more scary than a zebra, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. I just is just my assumption. Yeah. Kangaroos and dogs, I don't think, mix. Like they try to fight each other. Right. But, and they're strong kangaroos. But I feel like you can just punch them and they'll let go.
Starting point is 00:43:38 That's what I've seen. Would you really need to get in a fist fight with your pet? That's what we're doing? They stand up. They'll box with you. What? Yes. That would be so weird.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Oh, no. Like looking at you eye level, like put them up. I'd be honest. If I had a kangaroo, I'd try to box it every day. Maybe we'll get you a kangaroo. I feel like you really need one. That's my new favorite animal. If Junebug or Gus could talk, what would you ask them?
Starting point is 00:44:06 If Junebug could talk, I would want to know why he can't stop peeing on my carpet. Yeah. He decorates it like it's his. I'm kidding. He does. He pees all over the floor. That's really his only flaw. I spend every day of my life probably multiple times a day seeing if there's pee on the floor.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Yeah, there's certain areas. of the house too, he does it. Now that he's gotten older, he will just pee on the hardwoods or the tile too. Like, he just sprays it all over the house. Yeah, he's not peeing in the... Which I prefer, you know, like instead of peeing all over the carpet, it's easier to clean up. But you have to be careful walking through any transition space in our house that he might have peed there just because you're getting ready to leave. Like, you put your shoes on.
Starting point is 00:44:42 He's like, okay, peeing on the floor. One out of ten days you're stepping in him. Yeah. Yeah. And it's... Then you're hopping on one leg to try to get to the towel. Oh, boy. I, um...
Starting point is 00:44:52 I would ask. Gus. Why he growls at you? Why he growls. Yeah. Specifically at you. Yeah. So if Gus is tired, he's like,
Starting point is 00:45:03 Gus is very moody. Like most times I can pet him, hug on him, love on him, and he likes it. And he wags his tail. And then the other times, at 40% of the time, you'll go over there and go, yeah. It's just kind of low, like, just get off. I'm like, grumpy. I just love to know, like, hey, what's the deal?
Starting point is 00:45:24 He's always been like a very vocal dog. Like he's almost like they used to talk to each other. He is not a dog. He would like, oh, like he'd howl and make his noises. And now he didn't do that. He just growls at you. He used to. He's not a dog that's going to run in.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Like if you came in the door, he's not going to run up to you. And greet you. And greet you and lick your hand or like, you know, hey, who are you? You know, he don't, he's going to bark, get mad. He's attacking the door. to see, make sure you're intruding. You're going to, he's coming after you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:58 But then as soon as you're not, he recognizes you're okay, you know, thread he's back to the couch. Yeah, he's just, unbothered. And I can't, like, he, this is the only thing I don't, the one thing I wish was different about him is like he, I want him to jump on me. Like I want to, if he was in, if he was a hundred pound dog, if he's in the floor and I said, come here, Gus, I want him to come climb up on me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:22 or you know the other night I was going to tell you I got this head cold when I was with my buddies um so Amy's been sleeping downstairs because I don't have time to get sick she don't want to get sick so Gus tried to get in the bed the other night and you're in my spot what yeah yeah you lie I swear did you help him no he put both balls up there you're sure he wasn't just looking for me I mean I don't think so he was trying to And he was, you know, he's doing that thing where he's trying to figure out what to do, his back leg, how to get it to where he can get into bed. And he couldn't get up there.
Starting point is 00:47:00 I should have helped him get in, but I thought he'd go and growl at me. I'd go over there and try to help him and go, you know. Yeah, I was like, dang, there's a little bit of old Gus. Yeah, a little bit. You know, young Gus trying to get in the bed. He used to jump in the bed and sleep at the end of the bed. He's so tall, he used to just, like, stick his butt up there first and then push his front legs off and then just like he'd be spouting with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:21 But he can't do that anymore. he's got arthritis in his back legs. That's probably what... Both of our dogs are old. Yeah. Both of them. Yeah. They're great.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah, they are. But I'm glad they can't talk, to be honest. I don't think Junebug would ever shut up. Sure. That's pretty accurate. Junebug, though, has lost his hearing. Really? Entirely.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Really? Entirely. Wow. He can sneak right up on him. He's not, like, got any left. Really? And so his barch changed. When he lost...
Starting point is 00:47:48 So he had a stroke and he lost his hearing. I don't know that he lost anything else. but we do know his hearing's gone entirely. And so his barks changed pitch. Wow. Because he can't hear himself. Yeah. That's funny, actually. So his barks have like a little back end.
Starting point is 00:48:02 A little raspyer. His barks are good. He used to bark like a regular dog. And now he goes, barraro. It's weird. It's got a bat. It's in, yeah. Doesn't he?
Starting point is 00:48:12 Yeah. Yeah. Next one from Sally. If you had to swap lives with anyone for a day, who would it be? But keep in mind, they get to swap. They get to be you as well. Lives. I want to see what it's like to just, you know, do whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Yeah. Sleep on the cows. Yeah. All right. I don't think that I really like. Once she climbed into my head, she would scream to get out. Let me out of here. This is, this is terrifying.
Starting point is 00:48:41 I might not be up your ass so much. I knew how scary it was in there. I don't know. I'm scared to like say anybody important, which would be a cool vantage point. Like maybe Taylor Swift for a day. Yeah. I want to see how the access feels. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Like truly like everything's available. Yeah. I don't know. Being the Queen of England would have been cool for a day. Same thing. Yeah. Like I put all the jewels on. All the jewels.
Starting point is 00:49:10 All at once. Yeah. I would take like a bird. A bird? Yeah. Just go fly around. See what I do. What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:49:16 I just want to see what I do. You're just a bird. You said anyone. Yeah. You're picking at things on the ground. Is this food? This is not food? I would do that.
Starting point is 00:49:26 I would just fly all day. That's what I see birds doing. You know what I? Is this food? Nope, not food. You could just sh-h-per-you-hmm. That's food. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Well, that's edible. It's not really food. You know what I woke up to this morning? I let Gus out and I'm like, oh, there's a dead bird on the porch. Is that a bad omen? Well, if you swap places with like a bird to die. All right. Now you're dail.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Now you're just dail again. That was Bob. That was a minute. Are you a bird of prey at least? I was just thinking a bird that flies. I wasn't being picky. It might be a seagull. It might be a crow.
Starting point is 00:50:07 I don't know. Oh my God. Nothing, Dale. He just wants to be Dale. Me? I would probably want to be, I'd probably want to be something, somebody that was adventurous.
Starting point is 00:50:24 We talked about sailing earlier in the show, somebody like an expert at that. I've always been curious of sailing and what, you know, having the confidence to even go do that out, you know, out in the open ocean with the dangers that all that presents. But, or, yeah, like climbing Everest, right? If you were somebody who was an expert at that type of thing, like to be in there, they live that experience of climbing one of those mountains and the, So you could probably do that if you just train for it. That's it. But he can't be a bird.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Who says? Yeah, I mean, it's doable, but I would want to like plop into the body and mind of a person that knew everything already and was like, I'm the expert. Let's go. I don't want to go through the process of becoming good. You're a lazy Everest climber. We were asked who we'd swap lies with. Now on the lazy SMV. I said Everest climber.
Starting point is 00:51:26 I never said S-O-B. Next question's from Herval. He said, My girlfriend told me if I make it obvious that I'm about to propose, she'll be pissed. Any advice on how to handle that or keep it a surprise? Keeping it a surprise is really important. I know that feels like such pressure for a guy.
Starting point is 00:51:46 It is a lot of pressure, and it should be because it's a big moment. I think the only way to make it a surprise is to not make it such a big, big visual experience. You know what I mean? Like some people set up flowers and they have a photographer there.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Like that's very obvious that you're about to have a big moment. When they walk in, yeah. Yeah, your mom's there. Why is your mom all of a sudden standing there? So the element of surprise isn't that hard if you just don't overthink it. Dale shocked me with ours.
Starting point is 00:52:13 We were in a church on a genealogy trip and it had nothing to do with us. You know what I mean? And he asked me to get to marry him in the church. And so I just wasn't expecting that at all. I don't think it's that hard, right? No. No.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Just don't overdo it. Don't overdo the day. Like make it just a simple heartfelt moment. Yeah, I don't know if this needs to be something you have to tell somebody, but it is, it only needs to be, like, it doesn't have to be at a, um, it doesn't have to be at a, um, it doesn't have to be at a mountain. Well, no, I'm just, like, it doesn't have to be, uh, during an event or a moment and it doesn't have to be around anybody. Like it just, you know. It shouldn't. Anyway. Yeah. That moment can be just you and her. Right. Yeah. And so like, you know, if someone happens to be there, that could be a witness that's cool because then they can tell the story. But that's not necessary. But so it just needs to be all two. And it can be really anywhere, anywhere. And it can be on, it can be in a new place. It doesn't have to be in a place that's like, oh, I want to do it here because this, this is connected. Yeah, I think that's going to tear up a little bit. We don't. Yeah. It doesn't have.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Make a new, make this place a new place that's now somewhere you'll want to go in the future because that's where this happened, right? And so, and it can be, you know, it can be a new, it can be, you know, a tropical vacation spot. You know, it can be anywhere. You go see it, you go to Europe to a country you've wanted to visit all your life. And you just happen to go take this trip and you can do it there. because once you have, you know, once you've had, once you've done that thing in that spot, now that spot is somewhere you're going to want to go to. Sure.
Starting point is 00:54:04 You're going to want to go back to it. So being a new spot, being this new part. Take notes, Alex. No. Yeah. No, no, no. A lot of people think they need to do it in a place that's connected to them or connected to that person.
Starting point is 00:54:17 It's like, right? You know, a lot of people. Yeah, a special place. Well, they're trying to find something that makes it special. But the thing is, what's happening is the special thing. So it doesn't have to be connected to any other way. What I'm seeing a lot on, like, with nowadays is the girls are very worried about what they're wearing when they get proposed. Yeah, because everybody's taking pictures.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Yeah. And I get that. So like to that point, Kelly asked me that morning when I was getting ready, she's like, do you ever like coordinate y'all's outfits on trips so that your pictures look pretty? And I was like, no. And she's like, well, what are you wearing? And I showed her. And she's like, oh, that's perfect. And then she ran off.
Starting point is 00:54:49 And I was like, I wasn't. I was too home over to catch it. Really. I was wearing like this. And he, yeah, well, like, like I'm going to try to coordinate outfits with this man, right? No. Yeah. So anyway, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Don't overthink it. It'll be fine. And just surprise her out of her with something simple. Good advice. From Cleo, me and my boyfriend just moved in together and we are arguing about this. What's the correct number of pillows on the bed? Daly and I don't agree. He only wants the pillows he's going to sleep on.
Starting point is 00:55:19 as an interior designer, like, wanted to decorate and make our bed look nice. He also doesn't even like the bed made up. So I don't know. Maybe I'll never agree on that. I obviously lost that battle. What? Because he would just, like, take him and, like, kick him off onto the floor. And then all the pretty nice things are laid on or the floor for the dog to lay on or whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:38 There is a pillow in our bedroom floor next to my side of the bed that's been there for four days. Yeah. So we have, we go through this battle sometimes of, and they're king-sized pillows you can't sleep on, but we have too many. And some of them are more firm than others. And some of them are just super squishy. So, like, I don't know which ones he wants. And I have these. So, yeah, we have this blanket.
Starting point is 00:55:58 And I'll climb. The last, I don't know, the last two weeks, I've slept on top of the comforter. Yeah. So I like sleeping under the feather blanket, like as a normal human would. The comfort. Yes. The bedding. The bedding.
Starting point is 00:56:11 And Dale will only sleep under this Lola blanket. Everybody knows what these things are now these big, fuzzy, heavy. It's comfortable. Perfect. But he'll lay on top of the cover underneath the Lola blanket. So, like, I can't pull the covers because his 200-pound ass is like laying on it. 185. So much weight.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Can't pull it. Well, with the blanket, it's 200. He's mad now. Oh, my gosh. He's too heavy for me to pull my covers. So, yeah, we never really have agreed on that. Yeah. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:56:46 No, I think the, the, I'm real weird about the weight of the blanket. And so I, if I'm sleeping on my back and my feet are up, I don't like the blanket to be heavy on my toes. And I don't like the sheets so tucked into the bed that it's like my toes are like smashed up in there. You don't want to feel like you're in a womb. No. And so I get in, like you go into the hotel and the first thing I do when I get in bed in the hotel is get down in the bed and lay on the mattress and kick my feet and pull the sheet out from under the mattress to get my feet like free.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Yeah. I was like, oh, geez. Yeah, so they can do what they need. He does that at home too. Yeah. And on the bed, I want the, I want the bare minimum. I don't, I want to be warm and cuddle and all that bullshit, but I don't need, I don't need more blanket than I need. I want, if I need a sheet, good blanket.
Starting point is 00:57:45 nothing else. I don't like sheet blanket comforter and the comforter I don't like it thick and fluffy and taking up
Starting point is 00:57:51 all the fucking room. It's like it takes up the whole room. It does not. So I like a thin top comforter
Starting point is 00:57:59 and a sheet and I'm not going to go to that. I hate making the bed. I'm going to have your blanket. I'm going to have
Starting point is 00:58:06 my blanket. I hate making the bed so I'll either leave the bed unmade or never get in the bed and just sleep on top of
Starting point is 00:58:13 the comforter in the with the, with the blanket. I don't like making a bed, so if I don't have to make it, I won't either make the bed, but now I'm married to you, so the bed has to get made. And so I won't un-make the bed.
Starting point is 00:58:26 You don't make the bed. I know. You just get mad because I make it up? No, I just don't like a made bed. I don't understand that. If you went into a hotel room, the bed wasn't made. Well, that's gross because my else slept in it. But it's my bed I slipped in.
Starting point is 00:58:41 So it is, when I walk, it's like, all right, here. Here's what it is. It's like I find you more attractive wearing a silly, a $10 t-shirt with no makeup. That's your most attractive state, right? Okay. You would not agree with that. You like to get makeup and getting a nice clothes and all that. But I find you most attractive in the most stripped down simple state.
Starting point is 00:59:10 And so when I walk into the bedroom, the unmade bed looks way, more comfortable to jump into than the made bed. Oh, so I totally disagree. I find a pleasure in like pulling back the crisp sheets and like crawling in and everything's like perfectly laid out and even. The maid bed is restricted. I know I'm going to pull the sheets back, but they're going to still be tucked under and my feet are going to be smashed all down in the bottom. And I have to just completely destroy the bed to get comfortable. Yeah, that's not something if I've put three person has to worry about. And I don't need other pill. I need a pillow for my head and another pillow. And another pillow to throw my leg over or to kind of like cuddle with. I don't need a third pillow. You want
Starting point is 00:59:49 three pillows? You asked me for the third pillow. Really? Yes. Why? Because you wanted to be able to sit up and look at your iPad and the other two weren't cutting it. Oh, my bad. That's my fault. So it just sits in the cubby just in case, I guess. I don't know. I don't, I don't, I, we have a, in our camper, you know, this tiny little, our little, what was that, a full bed? full mattress. Tiny. Yeah. And I mean, you know, you got pillows everywhere in the comforter.
Starting point is 01:00:19 And all this big fluffy. Sounds amazing. Taking up the room. Sounds like a cloud. Complete, you, no. He's very particular, clearly. I would say it just. Yeah, we got into this one.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Let it ride. The chat goes anywhere from two to four pillows. That go back to the original question. Two to four. Yeah, that's fine. Like just the pillows you sleep on. We go into Isla's room, drives me crazy. Ila sleeps on her bed one way.
Starting point is 01:00:46 She's got lots of knick-knacks and lots of little things sitting everywhere. There's 51 stuffed animals to get out of the way before she can climb into bed. And then her bed gets made with the pillows on one end and she sleeps her with her head on the other. So every night we've got to move the pillows. We're recreating. Yeah, we've got to recreate her bed for her to sleep in it. Oh, my God. It's a lot.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Well, we can go on this for hours, it seems like. But we're out of time, so that's all. Nicole's awesome. Hopes in her bed, jumps under the cover. Not dead. That's awesome, actually. Love this. You're perfect.
