The Dale Jr. Download - We Started with NASA and Somehow Landed on Summer House

Episode Date: April 2, 2026

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy are back with an episode that covers a little bit of everything. What starts with Dale realizing a major rocket launch was happening without him knowing quickly turns into a conversation about social media, the news, and how fast things can spiral online. Along the way, they get into unexpected topics, share personal stories, and revisit moments that bring out both curiosity and humor. They also dive into reality TV, including all the Summer House drama, along with family life and behind-the-scenes stories you would not expect, before wrapping things up with Ask Amy. As always, the episode is honest, unpredictable, and full of the kind of conversations that feel like you are right there with them. Leave your questions for next week’s Ask Amy in the comments.

The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Oh, yeah, this is the way it's going to be, girl. We're going to hang out. Open a bunch of jars. You've got big strong hands. Are you suffering from High Craft? I'm working. Working that mouth.

Hi, y'all. Welcome back to another episode of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I are in the Dirty Moe Media Studio. And we're excited to have a fun little chat today. I hear that there's some. Kirk Cousins news that's at the top of Dale's mind. Not really. I feel like this is going to be our best show.

Oh, okay. Don't set us up for failure or anything. I'm pumped about this one. I'm pumped about this one. Travis is pumped about this one. This is going to be a good one. Well, lots going on. Well, what are you talking about with Kurt Cousins?

Well, I sent out a little tweet, a bit of a troll tweet that I saw. So you're the troll? Yeah. I got in the mood. It's like a rule, you don't get into mood and then get on the internet? This one I fully support. So yesterday, yeah, so yesterday I was, yesterday I was sitting at home. You were taking the girls to gymnastics.

And I was like, I had placed a bed on Fanduil and was going, I had a little two-player parlay that I, I was going to check on, didn't know if the game started or whatever. So I was just like going to turn on sports, like, you know, FS1 or something like that, right? And so I go to turn on my Xbox and I go into the FS1 or the Fox 1. And so, sorry. What's going on over there, Ralph? I just got some flim, dude. What?

And so I'm a normal person. I get flim, all kinds of normal things. But I was right on the screen. It said they were about to fire this rocket into the sky with humans on it. Funny to say you were humans, but people. It is, yeah. Astronauts. And so, look, I remember, I do remember that they were going to do this a couple months ago

and they delayed it. Something happened. They didn't do it. But I wasn't like, you know, I didn't dive into like all of. the details of the purpose yeah the mission purposes so they're going to send the they have they have fired this rocket off it happened yesterday they sent it it's going around the moon which is insanely cool and um they're going to do another mission everything going if everything's going is planned they're going to do another mission and eventually going to land on the moon which is awesome it is really

cool so i turn it on and i'm like they're like four minutes do and as soon as that happens I got a text from a friend of mine in San Diego, Kevin, and he says, hey, man, they're about to fire this rocket off. And I'm like, I'm just watching. What a coincidence that you text me this. I just turned it on. How did I not know about this? How have I not heard about this today?

I remember now that I think about it, the delayed launch. Yeah, we were talking about the astronauts. And one of the astronauts, the female is actually, she went to NC State. So she's from this area. Yeah. So, I mean, I knew this was happening, but I didn't know. it was happening today. And so I put out, I was very proud.

I mean, and it was emotional, right? Like, look, they fire, they're sending, they're sending people to the space station. They've been doing that. It's not like, it's not an unusual thing. This is what I'm thinking. Yeah. This is what I'm thinking as I'm watching this happen.

It's like, you know, it's not that unusual. You know, being, human beings are on rockets that shoot up into the air, but this one just feels so cool because it's going around the moon. and damn it that's a long ways away. And they got our plan, right? There's a lot more risk involved. Yeah, they got a plan to freaking get on the moon and then beyond that, whatever, right? So, super proud moment, awesome moment.

And I'm like, and so I fired off this tweet of like, how did I not know about this, you know, that this was happening? Yeah. Look at the screen. So I fired off his tweet. I said, um. I had no idea. we were sending humans around the moon. Turn on my phone for some sports on the...

Turn on my TV. It's kind of little, sorry. Turn on my TV for some sports on there, and it was four minutes to lift off. Unreal. What did you just... Proud moment. Pride moment.

It was badass watching the rocket book it toward the stars. How in the hell did I not know about this happening today? And so it was really cool, actually. And again, like we sent people the space station. I don't watch those, those moments. I don't,

I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't get invested and I'm sitting there going, holy moly, come on, come on, come on,

man, just, you know, keep digging. And then the boosters fell away and you're like, all right, you know, everything's going to do that process,

you know, and then you're watching it, you know, kind of do what it does. And, um, it was super, I was insanely quickly,

like, heavily invested in like, yeah, I get it. You sent me the, you sent me the, you sent me the, You sent me a text and said they were about to shoot off a rocket.

And we had just gotten the car from gymnastics. We were heading through to get something to eat and a drive-through. And so the girls, I pulled it up on my phone. And the girls were like, what's going on? I was like, they're about to shoot off a rocket. And they were like, a real one? It's like, yeah, a real one. And there's astronauts on it.

And they were like, oh my gosh, Mom, we want to watch. So I'm holding the phone like this, trying to watch it myself, trying to get them to watch. And they were asking me a thousand questions. Where are they going? How do they stop? How do they get back? So the rocket comes back just like that. I'm like, no, no, no, watch it because they started to see the pieces fall apart.

And Ila was like, like, both of them were gasping. They were like, it's falling apart, you know what I mean? They weren't expecting to see that. And they're talking more loudly than the guy that's annotating the whole thing because he's explaining the process as it's happening. But it honestly brought me back to like feeling like a child again. Yes. And it was really cool. Almost like, like you said, proud.

But I almost got it a little emotional. I had to check myself. I wish they did it during school so they could have, all the classes could have stopped what they're doing. to put it on. That would be very Apollo 13-ish. Don't you remember? Like in the movie, they did that during the middle

of like a school day and his son was in school. Spatieler launches and stuff like that during school were in, you know, like it was big, big deal.

Yeah. They shot, there was a liftoff for one. Maybe they were just going to the space station not that long ago. And we watched that too, but I don't know.

This one did feel different. Well, I, you know, there's a lot of commentary on television around. A lot more clips and videos too of their prep work

and like just getting the rocket to the launch pad and everything. Well, I remember that too, like watching the shuttle, they had these little machines that would carry the shuttle out to the launch pad and it moved at like an inch every hour or some shit. You know, it's like super super slow, right? And they have a water truck in front of it, spraying the ground so if they don't get stuck. I didn't know that they had to do stuff like that.

I was thinking, I wonder if Brad Kozlowski has any 3D printed parts on that thing. You know, because, well, Brad made, you know, Brad's old print. I don't know if Brad's the only printing company, but he had a printing company that would make parts and pieces for SpaceX or whatever or whatever. Are you serious? Yeah, Sammy.

They let just anybody print some shit. No, let's look out. Brad's company is, I've been to tour his business. He showed me and walked me around in it. I don't know anything about this. All I know is my friend Brad that used to live down the street.

Brackislavski created or helped create a 3D printing company that made parts for rockets. That's, yes. And so, you know, I don't know that he had. I don't know that he actually taken off yesterday. I don't want to see anybody. He had something, you know, anything.

But hell, who knows? But I had all these millions of thoughts running through my mind. And so I put that tweet out there because I was just so proud. I was so excited. And then I was like, you know, I was really insanely surprised by the, response to my post. What were your responses? Were they nice?

Or were they... They were all over the place. I had a lot of fun with this. I mean, I can imagine with your enthusiasm, there was a little clownish. Every time... I don't know how this is going to sound,

but every time I go on social media, it is... You're playing with fire. It is... Especially Twitter. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You are...

It's just an opinion platform. You got to be thoughtful about what you're about to say. Or have thick-ass skin. Someone is absolutely going to rip it apart. Yeah. And someone's going to take it completely out of context. And I've had that happen.

But there was a couple people that were like, get your head out of your ass and watch the news. And I was like, dude, I don't got time to watch the news. Like, I am, I don't know that there's a... The news giveth when you need it is. I don't know that there is a busier person in the NASCAR industry. I honestly feel like out, I mean, I, you know. Listen, I don't want to poo-poo your thoughts, but you've got time for things. I know. Well, I got time for things, and those things take my time.

Like, I don't have time to go sit down and look at my phone and watch the freaking news. I don't have, I don't, I can't, I don't have the bandwidth. Okay, that's different than the time. Bandwidth and time are not the same thing. Bandwidth means you don't have the space up here to deal with that every day. But I feel like if we're ripping cards, we get time to watch the news. But Nancy not only came up. That's the thing.

Like, do I rip cards or do I take in a little bit of news? You know, I'm going to rip the cards. I mean, you can be ripping cards and watching the news at the same time. He's got a whole new setup at stairs in his library. That's how we were watching the shuttle launch. Yes, he's got a whole new screen up there. He's got like, it looks like the space station himself. He's got like,

it's a 32. 32-inch alienware monitor sitting there. Well, whatever. He's got a desk there. He's got a desk downstairs. It didn't even matter if he's upstairs or downstairs now. He's got spaces everywhere where he can watch things. I can listen to music.

I can do whatever. I can watch Loprocket launch. But we're not watching the news. But Nancy came after Dale and Dale's friends. She said, clearly you need to surround yourself with better people because it's been all over the news for like a month. Yep. I say my friends are catching strays.

Now she's trying to blame everybody around you too. Yeah, now you're coming after us, Nancy. Well, screwing. guy said you live under a rock I said under the hood of my Nova wagon I don't know why we just got the wagon done and so that just flew out pop out of my mouth you just wanted to get into a fight yesterday I had fun with it you you know sometimes you get stuff that pisses you off and I was like this ain't going to bother me I mean I know I look you know I bet oh I bet that smart ass didn't know it's open in night at Langley this weekend they're going to have a hundred lap feature

or late model stock race I bet he didn't know that I didn't either yeah but I saw that rocket take on here. I mean, I would consume news. Kevin said you got to watch more than flow racing. Kurt Cousins going to play for Raiders this year. So that's why his tweet about the news. That was why he started. That's why I posted that.

I said it on the news this morning. Kirk Cousins is going to the Raiders. You got, hey, you like that? That's what his old saying is, you like that? You like that? That's what he said one time after a win against the Buccaneers when he was a Commander. Did you hashtag it?

Do people still hashtag this? They don't work anymore, but I do it if you're trying to be a smart ass. Well, I got to say something. This is very off topic, but my f*** shoes are killing me. I'm in a hard time concentrating. I'm going to take them off. Take your shoes off. I've gone through the stage.

They are like torture devices. Dale get me these boots for Christmas. Do you won't mind people looking at your feet? I mean, I got socks on. I'm not a complete animal. All right. So that's... I wanted these boots forever.

And Dale got them for me for Christmas. and I don't have like troll feet but they're like basically wide feet you know like regular width and these things are made for skis they are I need stretch I need stretchers or something for him but it's because women love to just the they care more about how it looks than how it feels yes typically I would just not even mention it but I like they literally my feet are numb driving over here was was a was a thing so anyway that's a mystery I need you to help me stretch those out with your little wooden things, your little cobbler things. I got little wood and, yeah, I got wooden.

I need you to be a shoe cobbler and fix my boots. Shoe cobbler? He doesn't have time for that. Is that like, is that like, can you fit that into your schedule since you're so busy? What is a shoe cop. Is that like a shoe cobbler? I don't know. What's a shoe cobbler?

No, your jokes won't work here. Nope, not even drive. Travis even looked at him. He's like, no. What is a shoe cobbler? Isn't that the word? Yeah. They repair, they build shoes.

I got these little wooden things that I put in my dress shoes to keep them from collapsing because I don't wear dress shoes that often. I have those two. If they sit on my damn shelf so long, they just collapse. But they do? Yeah, they'll just, the toes of them. Oh, like Pinocchio. It will collapse. It keeps the form of the shoe.

Pinocchio Geppetto situation in my head. I don't know why they, I don't know what those things are really for, but I can put them in there and it might help. Stretch them out. Yeah. Yeah, they're like crushing my feet. All right. Speaking of crushing, let's crush this drink. What is the drink?

I don't know. Let's see. A drink of the week presented by High Rock is the brunch punch. It's got. Dale. Oh, that's good. Very drinkable. It's very light.

It's a one and a half ounces of High Rock vodka, one and a half ounces of orange juice, one and a half ounces of fruit punch and one and a half of ginger ale and then one ounce of pineapple juice.

Did y'all know that I guess they had some problems with the toilet on the space path? Oh yeah, did you hear about that, Amy? I didn't hear about the problems with the toilet, but I did watch a really good video of, one of the astronauts explaining how the toilet works and how loud it is, they have to use ear protection just to flush it. It's so loud.

And the capsule is really small. They're going to the far side of the moon, and they're going to set a record for the farthest distance ever traveled, 252,000 miles. It's going to take 10 days? That's what I read. 10 days. Yeah.

The toilet fan jammed. And so apparently, but while they were fixing, fixing it, you could poop but not pee. I don't, I don't know how. How do you stop yourself? I don't know. How do you stop yourself? If you're, I mean, if you're a woman, I don't know how you sorry? Poop and not pee. They had a contingency plan, though. They just were allowed to poop if they needed to, but they couldn't pee. Astronauts reportedly employed their contingency, quote, waste management capability specifically for urine, end of quote. So they had a backup plan.

But they fixed it. They fixed it. That sounds tragic. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Yeah. Hey, they're headed to the moon, man. I think I could hold it. No, you couldn't.

Yes. I drive race cars. You don't hold it? Boy, please. I peed in my race car maybe a dozen times max. I know, but that's just because you're dehydrated. They're doing all the things right up there. They're probably dehydrated too.

They have a workout machine. No, they need to say hydrated. Like, their body, like, is going through a lot of stress. More stress than a race car. Look, I'm not saying it's hard. It's not. I'm not saying it's like easy to hold it, but I would have been so excited and enamored. I think I would have had my mind busy with other things.

I don't know. Not being able to do all the bodily functions would be stressful. Maybe they'll get asked when they get back. How hard was it to hold it? Maybe you should tweet about it. No, nope. I'm done. I'm done for a bit.

Oh my gosh. You know, I like to tweet and I do like to, you know, communicate and get feedback and respond to people and stuff like that. But going viral where most people that are communicating with you aren't people that are following you and they don't really even know you, that is not fun. Yeah. It's just, they're just mystery people. You know, it's like weird. Are they even real people sometimes?

Are they even real? They're not normally, don't have real names and stuff, but it's interesting. Well, I saw something really funny on Instagram this week, and I saw it a few times. I sent it Straves yesterday. There was a Miss Thailand competition. I'm sure some of them. our followers have seen these clips. It's a beauty pageant. And they were having a moment where they're dancing on the stage. And I don't know exactly if this is before or after some of the

swimsuit things. But this girl, was she disqualified? There's a stink about one of the contestants not doing like the sexy dance, but she went clubbing on the stage. Get for the, like. What does that dance we've called? Because I've seen it before. But she went, she went for it. She did. And so there's a lot of controversy on her dance moves. What's the controversy? I don't, that she,

what didn't stick to the plan? Like, I think she even, they were probably told to like, hey, kind of fit in this little. Yeah. She's like,

she's like, she's like, she's like, it's my time. Can you imagine? Right when the camera pan, she's like, here we go.

I forget she told all her friends, y'all watch. Y'all watch this. I'm about to go ham. bone. She doesn't have a five inch heels. Well, that's a skill. She should stand out.

That's what she's, I'm going to stand out. Y'all watch me go. These other girls can shake their hips all they want to. That should have gotten her into the next round. Because the rest of them looked almost like they were all doing the same dance. They were. So why would, like, how could you like, you know, you look at all of them doing the same thing? And it's like, damn, this is hard.

She only made the top 20. You got her doing something completely different. Hey, top 20. Give it up. That's tough. Yeah, I think it was funny. I watched it over and over again. There was the Miss Grand Thailand.

Oh, it was just the Miss Grand Thailand. It wasn't like the world or universe. No, it was all like. She's top 20 in Thailand. It's a local kind of thing. Top 20 in Thailand is pretty good. She said I was just truly myself. What did you say?

She said she was just being herself. She was just being herself. Yeah. She's like, I ain't going to be like these other girls. I'm just going to do me. Hey, she's memorable. Everybody's talking about her. We're talking about her.

I feel like they need to move her up. I didn't even know they had this. I didn't either. Grand Thailand thing. Yeah, that's what happens. Watch some news. The Grand Thailand Commission has to love it or the council or whatever. That's true.

Whatever. They've got to love it. There's one more other thing that's been all over my phone this week. Me too. I know what you're about to talk about. Well, it's the summer house. How does this find me? Is it no Amy likes it?

I mean, look, I watch the show too. Oh, okay. that's not set it up so skewed here. You watch the shit out of that. Oh, you do? That's one of those shows. If I watch by myself, he's annoyed. He's like, oh, you watched it already?

I'm like, I'll watch it again. I didn't want to admit it. I'm already catching shit for not watching enough news, and now people are going to give me for watching too much. Oh, you're going to get crushed for this one. I'll get crushed you. I watch Summerhouse too. Yeah.

My Bravo news. We record two shows, Summerhouse and Southern Charm. Yeah. And we sit and watch those together. So it's like our together time, even if we're not talking to me. each other because we're watching the show. Dale likes to eat his snacks while we watch shows. So he sits on the other side of the couch so that I can hear it.

She doesn't like the sound of someone eating. So I can't sit near her when I'm eating. And he likes to eat those really flat pretzel, like crunchy, really loud foods. Can't you like find a way to like eat in a quiet, non-crunchy manner? No. No. Even if I eat a grape, it's too loud. She's like, do you chew with your mouth close?

Yes. She, listen. He eats with like. This is a. stream force. It's like, this is a condition. He feels like he's got to turn the grapes into wine in his mouth or something.

Like he's smashing it so hard. I've read about this. This is a condition that she has. What's it called? I don't know. Look it up. When people don't like, it's not,

I'm not alone, is what you're saying? Yeah, there's other people and it's a condition. It's the sound of someone eating is, is in an annoyance. What's it called? Misophonia.

Yes. Yes, there it is. Yes, here it is. Do you have it too, James? I don't. Wier. James. He's the exact name.

Yeah, it's condition. It's so small. Condition characterized by an intense and voluntary emotional reaction. Can you change the phone? But he's not wrong. He's the phonia is what it's called. The condition of characterized by intense, involuntary, and emotional reaction, such as anger, rage, disgust, or anxiety.

Just to sit in common sounds. It's most likely the chewing, slurping, or breathing of other people. Yeah, I have that. Yep. I am disgusted and annoyed and sometimes enraged. So I sit on the other end. I sit on the other end of the sectional, and we watch together. And it's pleasant.

I enjoy it. I enjoy that we're together. I enjoy that Amy and I like, you know, it is what it is. But Summer House is a damn... It's a good show. Good show. It's very entertaining. We used to watch, no, you know, we used to watch Vanderpup rules and all that stuff,

but they changed the cast. Yeah, we decided we were too old to get into a new cast. I mean, Ben, too invested in the original. I stopped after, the season after Scandival, I stopped watching. Yeah. Yeah. So speaking of Scannibal, we now have Scamanda. Scamanda.

That's what they've dubbed it, Skamanda. So Amanda and Kyle just got divorced in January. Sad news. Sad news. We kind of saw it coming. not surprised by that part. But now we've just realized that she's hooking up with... Exploring.

Well, exploring his dad bod, West. You know, like her best friend's ex. West was at Atlanta. West was at Atlanta. At the race. Listen, I... Carson Quappell, I think, got to meet West. They were there for Arby.

So if he's cutting in with Arby's. I'm sure he's a great guy. I wonder if he told Carson Quoppel. Hey, man. You want there some gossip. You think he just opened up with all that to Carson Quoppel? Because he probably knew Carson Cople didn't know

shit. So he's like, I don't get to get this out. I got to tell somebody who. I'm going to tell somebody who will not ever know to tell another one. Carson. Your brain is crazy. Isn't that right? Like if you're like that's something

that you've got to get out of your system like some secret or something, you're supposed to write it out on a piece of paper and go out. You just tell a complete stranger that you know you'll never see again. And now you're like, I'm free. Is that what you do? No. but it sounds like a good idea.

Dale's awful. He can't keep a secret. No, we cannot. Do not ever tell Dale anything to someone to know. Please don't. He can't stand it. It eats him a lot. Yeah.

He's uncomfortable. Even a good secret, like a surprise. I know. Or someone else. He'll get right in the middle of that. Yeah, I mean, they'll be like, hey, we're going to throw a surprise party for this person. I'm like, God. Don't even tell me I'm going until I'm going.

Actually physically moving and going there. Take his phone away from them too. It's physically uncomfortable. comfortable for me to hold onto a secret. Yes. Yeah, that seems to be very true. I like, I'd rather say that I cannot tell a lie, but. No, you will spoil a secret.

And you'll spoil it on purpose. I learned that the hard way when I first started a date and you. I was like, wait a second. That's not even your, that's not your news to share. What are you doing? Yeah. Like, it's just so exciting. I'm going to tell it.

Got a shot. He just loves. I've got something to tell you after the show that we had to edit out of a dirty air because he shared something that we're like, no. Oh, really? I'll tell you after the show. There's a few things. He's also one of those people, too, you can't kick under the table.

Like, I physically kicked him in the shit under the table because he's talking about something. He shouldn't or he shouldn't say something. And he'll be like, why are you kicking me? Yeah. I'm oblivious if we haven't learned that already. Obviously, you know. It's by choice. It's situational.

It's not all the time. It's selective. It's weird. I want to be oblivious. I'm more comfortable. All right. Let's get back to Samantha. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Can you believe that she cheated? It's essentially a cheat. Listen. I want to know what we... I know that your phone has showed you all the clips now. My phone hasn't. So, to be fair, yesterday, in the middle afternoon, my Instagram sent me a reel of some fan, and it had Celine Dion music.

And it was like showing... Sounds lovely. It was like showing a slow motion of her walking by him during one of the shots. And she grabs his hand. She's going to the kitchen. And they are like... caressing, he reaches for her boob. Oh, well.

And she swats him down, and then they, like, do this arm caress as she's walking away. And they're like, whoa. Yeah. We're going to couch all this with a ledge. So they're all. No, keep going. They're re-watching all of this. All the fans are now going back and watching the entire season over to see these little

hints. There's a dinner party where she's sitting, he's sitting between the two of them. So I got a couple, I got one or two clips on my Instagram yesterday. And I have no idea why my Instagram has never sent me anything brought. Although anything is my Instagram doesn't seem to me. Because everyone's talking about it. I get baseball cards, commander's stuff, racing stuff. Well, that's boring.

This is really exciting. And it was like full force yesterday. I get like hot rod, you know, car stuff. Allegedly they were at the Super Bowl. They were at the Super Bowl. So Dave Portnoy. Dave Portnoy on his podcast. I read about that.

He was like, this is old f***ing news. He blew them up. I saw them at the Super Bowl. Chicken fry told me it was happening at the Super Bowl. And he blew it up. And Brian and Chicken Fry apparently his friends with West. Okay. Well, so I've, I've seen all the clips, all the little like in you windows, like he's really close to her. He's touching her. He's doting on her. He's standing up for her with

Kyle. You need to apologize. You shouldn't treat her that way. Like he's, all along, we think he's still crushing on Sierra. And he's really got the hots for Amanda. Yeah. But she's married. So of course he's not talking about that. But he was mad this season when Jesse wanted to kiss Sierra. He was. He was. So I hear, I think, I think, I think, think all of it's like all of it can be true and all of it could be too you know like it's still TV and maybe the whole thing's I saw interview with Kyle he's got stopped on the street and did this whole calm interview and it felt like he was too okay well here's why he has to be okay though is he is now getting the sympathy

card and before this I think everyone was blaming him for his actions and the divorce happening so if he goes out there and crushes Amanda then people aren't going to sympathize with him. But why is he even talking to the media? Because now he can promote lover boy and stuff. Oh, you think he's doing, I thought that they just declared bankruptcy. The reunion's coming up. I mean, it's not a bad light for him to be in.

He should eat it up. He really should. But he just felt like even though he still wants to be, you know, held up now after all of this, he still seems a little too okay with it being West and not like annoyed that Amanda's seeing anybody. you know what I mean? Like I know that they're divorced, but that's one of his buddies. And they just got divorced.

I don't know. If all of it was kind of somewhat happening under his nose, I don't know. It feels like he should have a little bit of like an annoyance. Yeah, I would. Yeah. In any human relationship, whether it was like somebody you didn't even marry, you would be like, that's kind of f***ed up. I hope she's okay. But that was too okay.

It made it almost feel a little stage to me. It made me question whether it was all even bull-h-ha-oh. real. What do you think? Well, I mean, I think that, I think when you're watching the show, the, the, the, the, um, tension between them and the discomfort and all that stuff feels to, feels real, feels like it's not, that's not, that's not. Yeah. It would develop over a period of time. It has. And they were, they were both appeared to be kind of, she seemed to be, yeah, pretty much kind of like, yeah, what the f*** ever. Yeah. And he's like miserable.

So I think that maybe they were both. Relieved. Even though they don't want it to fail, they did fail. And they're kind of relieved that now at least that, they're not, they had to live in that every day. And so now at least he wakes up in the morning and he's, you know,

the, the empty house sucks, but it's a clear slate, you know, and he can't, you know, you don't have to walk into the kitchen and that tension there, being there or whatever,

right? Just metaphorically. And so maybe that's why he's okay with it. Maybe it's actually been going on longer than we thought or know about. Because when they film, right, this isn't modern. They filmed what we saw from the show. That was months ago. Yeah, it was last summer.

Right. So, like, this has all been going on for years with them. So, I don't know, man. Maybe he's just kind of like, I hate it, didn't, you know, I can see why he was the way he was in that interview. But it's really interesting. We'll see how it plays out. I don't know. I think he's been a little bit more annoyed.

Look, I too, like there's 20, there's this little percentage of me over here going, this could be, you know, this could be all just kind of manufactured, right, to just create interest in, which is brilliant. If it's manufactured, holy shit, it's brilliant. It's like modern days of our lives. I know, so I bounce those thoughts in my head, too. Like, if it's manufactured, if it's all fake just to fluff the show, especially like right before the reunion's about to commence, they haven't done it yet.

Yeah. then very brilliant, but also that's a lot to freaking keep up with. And that's a lot of kickback to get, if you're Amanda especially. If it's real, it's a risk to the show, which is unfortunate. Well, she's lost brand deals. Yeah, she got dropped from it. Yeah. That's why I think it's more real.

So, I mean, that would tell me, I mean, again, that would tell me. It's probably more legitimate. That it's legit. And it risks the show being canceled. how could you put them all back in the same space? Well, surely some of them just won't come back. If I was Sierra, I'd be like, fuck y'all, I'm out. Right.

Apparently he was dating her. So here's the thing. West was also kind of dating her again and dating this other show. Chicago girl. Yes, the Chicago girl. Who Sierra has since followed on Instagram. Oh, she did? And I think there might have been another girl.

Maybe. Yeah, so he was like not just dating Amanda. Oh, West. It's pretty impressive, but also, how do they not all know? You think it's funny because you'd be Australian dude that would be doing all this. Oh, he's the sweet one. I know, but I'm just saying, and he went,

I think he got back with the girl he was talking about on the show. Well. Yeah. I'm just saying, you have all the guys on the show, Wes is the playboy who's stringing him all along. He's the Labrador. Yeah,

I thought it had been, like, Jesse would have been more likely to. Yes. He's, because he wears it on his sleeve. Yeah, you know exactly.

Wes tried to play as like the funny, like, a ha-ha guy. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I didn't see it coming, to be honest.

I did not see Wes and Amanda together. I didn't. Bro code out the window, girl code. Yeah, there were no codes evaluated before making those choices. Did you read where on Southern Charm for the next season, Shep and his ex, what's your face?

Taylor? Taylor. They have decided to somehow, I don't know if this is real or not, maybe a hoax, but they have somehow decided to play in a competitive competition a doubles competition tennis tournament. And they're playing together?

And so the season spans them practicing together and trying to go play. And it's... So I thought you didn't watch the news. Yeah, I do watch the news. People think I don't, but I do. Shep Rose has partnered with the intense professional tennis league as a team owner.

And this next season features him with ex-girlfriend Taylor and Green, pairing up for competitive tennis matches, and it's caused a lot of drama and friction. Well, I'm kind of surprised she decided to come back to the show. Yeah, well... The drama friction part doesn't surprise me whatsoever. That show, we were watching a reunion of that last night.

I feel like we're always behind on that show, but anyway... It's all right. I mean, it doesn't matter. They recorded that stuff. I mean, the seasons weren't... Yeah. You know, when we're watching the season, it didn't happen yesterday. That was a bunch of ago, so it's fine.

I saw a thing about Sally yesterday. She had commented on her TikTok, made some posts about girl code in response to Amanda and then has since deleted it because, you know, she's not really... I'm a big fan of Sally. You're a big fan of Sally? I think she takes a lot of heat. She does. She takes it on the chin. Like, she takes it really well.

I didn't realize that, like, on top of doing this show, she still works her night, like her, like, awesome job that she's got. Like, she's out there, like, I think, like, Austin and the reunion was, like, judging her for the same things that he does. I didn't like how Austin and... Craig. No, not Craig. Well, I'm having a brain fart. The little tiny wand that just had the baby. Oh, Madison.

Madison, yes. I didn't like how Madison and Austin were like ganging up on her about that. Like, why does Madison even care? Who cares if Sally goes out, Austin? You go out too. And what does Madison give a shit for? And Austin, Sally goes out and then goes into work. So, like, I think she's managing it just fine.

Just because she's single and going out for dinner and having a glass of wine doesn't make her like a bar rat. Even if she is a bar rat. Yeah. Well, I mean, if you're going in and doing surgery the next day, you're probably not supposed to be out drinking. But if she's doing her job, she's not breaking any rules. Yeah, why do you care? And if you're with her, what the hell are you judging her for?

Like, he's out too. Yeah, I think she'd be like the total catch for you. It seems like you're supposed to fall in love with the people that you're the most alike. That way there's no friction. Yeah. You're going to live life pretty easily together if you know what to do together. You know what I mean? When you try to force the opposite's attracting, it usually doesn't work out.

Yeah. I don't know. It felt weird. I can't talk any shit at Austin. No, I love Austin. I think he's so sweet. He's such a great guy. And I'm sure Madison is too. But in that moment, I was like, damn. Send him some jerky boys and he liked it.

He said it was the best for beef turkey he'd ever had. He did. I have it in print. Yeah, I don't know. We can move on from the whole Scabanda thing. I just can't believe it. I can't wait to see what happens at the reunion. It's just to be continued, man.

Sierra's going to lose her freaking mind on these people. It's going to be something. What if she did. even show up. I think they will because of their contracts. Oh, they have to? Show up probably. Like if they don't, I don't think they, like, they can withhold pay for the season and stuff. Yeah. So we got some Easter plans?

We do. We're going to take our camper back to Texas. What about communication can be tricky? Not communication, communion. It says communication. Oh, well, that was my phone accidente. Communion can be tricky. Communion can be tricky, especially for Dale and Hart Jr. We went to church on Sunday, took the girls to St. Mark's

Lutheran where we go to church and... I have to preface, I've been going to this church since I was tiny, six, seven years old. He was baptized in this church, so we're both of our kids. It's fair. Round's deep. When dad passed away, we had his funeral there, all that. So, well, we had... You said he got married to you in that church.

We had a personal... I know the funeral was at another place, but we had a personal thing there. Yeah, Kelly got married in the church. She did, yep. Dad's helped the church. church, you know, financially in big moments. But, uh, so we've been going there a long time. I, I, I remember I got some memories there as a tiny, tiny dude. And we go every now and then, usually around the holidays, you know, we go and, and it's great and I enjoy it.

But he does forget things. But I mean, hell, dude. Let me tell the story. All right. So we're sitting like four or five rows back. Church is going fine. The girls are getting a little restless, but it's close to the end of service and we have to do communion. And so Of course, the gentleman at the end of the row says it's time for you guys to stand up. We go and the entire pew on the front where everyone's doing communion is full. So we have to stay in and wait. Well, Dale doesn't stand. He takes the girls and just goes, come on over here and sits in the very front row where their older ladies sit.

Their purses are sitting there and everything. And I'm like, what are you doing? I just sat down. He's just, instead of standing in the aisle like you're supposed to, which is, you know, 30 seconds, not that long. awkwardly just goes to find a new seat in a different few. I didn't know what to do. And I look over and I'm like, what are you doing? I look up, Amy's still standing there and she's like, what are you doing?

And there's a gentleman behind me and another other gentleman behind him. And then everybody's lined up behind him. I'm like, oh, I was supposed to do that. He goes, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm like, come on back. Come on back over. And then we go, we go up and put her knees down on the cushion and wait for the pasture to come around with the bread and the wine. and the wine comes up and it's red and white.

They had white grape juice on there. I know one's grape juice and one's not. I know one's wine and one's great juice and I don't know which one. And I don't know which one to get. I was wrong way that he was so confused. First of all, too, the pastor gives both of our kids the wafers and they're five and seven. They haven't been through communion. Yeah, but he's like, he looked at me and he goes, is it, it was kind of like he was at?

No, he did ask. He said, Is it all right? I'm like, Yeah, sure. Hold your hand out, kid. Hey, kid. Take the bread.

The whole thing was awkward. Body of Christ said for you. It literally looked just like that. This is exactly what's happening. We're in the middle of the damn church. We're in the front, right at the very front. And so the kids are taking it and like,

Nicole sits there and she cracks little pieces off and puts it in her mouth, but she's never seen anything like that. It wasn't actual friends. We did not prep them telling me. I didn't see that coming. And so Ila sticks the whole thing in her mouth, and her mouth's like tight and locked up. Now she goes, she wants some of the wine too.

I'm like, no, no. Her draw on the line. She goes, what about the grape juice? I was like, no, just get out of here. I didn't know which one was which, and I got the great. I got just regular stuff. And she's sitting right next to Dale. So, like, she's too far away from me to really help her without making a scene.

So I'm like, let's just get out of here. I was disappointed. I didn't get no wine. How did you not get the wine? He chose the white. I didn't know which one was which. Can't you say like, I'll take the line? No.

cups and so you take it. They just put the tray down and he had a choice and he made the wrong one is what it came down to. See, this is how, it's been so long since I went to church, last time I went to church, you literally would drink out of the thing and pass it back to them. They don't do that anymore since COVID. That's how long it's been. Yeah. We were talking about that at Bunko because, yes, so to your point, some people used to drink

out of the chalice and was like, that's so gross. Sometimes you even dip the wafer in the chalice. I feel like the last time we went to church, they did that too. Like that was something that happened. But that's also gross. sticking their damn hand in there. That's why. Now think about it,

wow, let's call it 300 people, drank out of the safe. So I remember, um, that's so gross. It's so gross.

Stop talking about it. So, but I will drink out of Dale's drink after the show because he hasn't touched it. So we can't go anywhere without making a scene. I did take a little sit.

The one thing, though, that was really cool. So, I mean, of course, the whole, you know, being at church and doing all that was great. We get up,

and I've told Amy and the girl, like 14 times. At least. How I've done this sermon when I was little. Like when we had you Sunday and I gave the sermon. The whole sermon? You just not told me that.

Yes. You told me you were an acolyte. No. On you Sunday, I was around 13. I was tasked. The kids did the whole service.

And I did the sermon. And my pasture was Pastor Cozart. He gave me the joke. Oh, yeah. You did tell me. It's got to have a little humor in your sermon, and your sermon's going to be about forgiveness. And you're going to tell us joke about how this mother,

whose son went off to college, and she missed him terribly, and worried about him being lonely, she got him a parrot or an expensive bird that would talk to him. And she went around and found this really expensive bird that she was really excited about, and she sent it to him. I don't know why this was that. funny because it doesn't sound great now but um i'm so waiting for you to put the fries in the bag she

she waits and here's nothing and she finally writes him or he calls him or whatever i mean this is years ago so she says hey man did you get the bird he goes yes mom it's delicious and so that doesn't sound that funny now so he ate the bird i think he did yeah dang and she had to forgive him did the church laugh did your congregation laugh with you yeah but i can't believe you did that as shy as you I know it. That's the thing. So that's why I tell you all about it because I'm like, hey, I mean, we don't know that part of you. I know that. The you that we know is super talky. Like you never. Not when we first met. Yeah, but you were famous then. So like you've been out in public and done things and appearances and all that. I didn't, like, I knew you to be somewhat shy, but not like when you had to turn it on, you absolutely could do that. At the end of church, we stand up to leave. And this lady in the pew right in front of us goes, hey, she's, you know, I don't know, maybe my age.

older. She goes, hey, I was here that day when you gave the sermon. And I was like, really? Where are you? That was pretty good, wasn't it? He leaves church. And he's like, God, I really needed that. The church was good for me today. I was like, yeah, that was a good sermon. Yes, yes. I've been telling my family about it over and over. I'm glad. I was like, Amy, did you hear that? She was here. She was here. Amy, did you hear that? Yeah, yeah, grab a kid. They still talk about that sermon. Hell yeah. Yeah. Good for you.

Yeah. I used to do the acolyte or like get up and read and that was nerve-wracking. Oh, that was the worst. I was so scared. I knew I could read very well, but I was terrified. I was going to get up there and just like walk up. And that happened a couple times, I'm sure. I had to go to Sunday school.

And I would never like try or pay attention because I'm like, they can't fail you for Sunday school. But then it's like, oh, you have to stand up and do this prayer. And I'm like, yeah. Like that's right I'm like Do I have to recite it Or can I have a paper? Like you have to go up there And you're like oh no

This is Yeah This is the worst And it's like the most forgiving place But it doesn't feel like that No We were in Sunday school Downstairs

And we were going to make The lanterns that you put on the driveway Luminaires Luminaires Yeah We were making those Out of one gallon Milk jugs

This was I was 12, 13. And my dad gave me a pocket knife. And it didn't, it was an old kind that both ends flipped open and it didn't lock. So you had to be careful, but I didn't. And so I'm cutting, I'm like, hey, I'm going to use my new pocket knife. You took it to church? Yeah. I mean, this was like 1983, 1985. People could walk around with pocket knives. Well, people still do that now. All the time. But, you know, you don't. Well, I don't anymore. It's a different world. Keep going on. I mean, I don't know.

Walking around with a knife, walking into church with it would feel weird today. Yes. But back then... Walking into church with a pocket knife. At then, every 15, 14-year-old kid had a pocket knife in their pocket. Okay. And so...

You were doing what with yours? I'm cutting the top of the lantern off. Okay. And I'm trying to cut. And I slipped in that damn knife. Now, the blade's about probably four. inches long, little tiny little blade. Four inches feels big.

No, maybe a three inches long, but it's a little tiny blade. Okay. And it's one of them small pocket knives. That thing went into my leg, like top of my thigh. Like Ricky Bobby. You Ricky Bobby to himself. It was like this real quick. It was like, shoot, boom.

Oh, it came back up. Oh, I pulled it right out. And I was like, and I'm like, I just stabbed myself. I just stabbed myself. So I'm looking around. Nobody saw shit. I get up, put the, you know, I get up, I walk to the bathroom, got a little pain. I take my pants down.

There's a hole in my leg. There's a hole in my leg about the size of a dime. And so I got, I don't know whether, I don't know how I got them or I told no one about this. It's not bleeding for some reason. I don't know why. It's not, it's not like bleeding, not doing anything. of that, but I butterfly band-aided my leg, never told a soul. I got a scar on my leg still, you know, obviously from it. You never told your dad or anything when you went home? Never told

anyone that it happened. Because you didn't want him to take the knife away. That maybe? Yeah. But I was also embarrassed that I did it. What about the hole in your pants? I don't know. They never asked you about it. No. Interesting. Yeah. I stabbed myself in the hand once trying to chop some ice. It was one of the kitchen knives. And you know, remember those little square fruit punch or like lemonade jugs, then they had like a peel off top. We had some of those, and I wanted it to get cold fast,

so I stuck it in the freezer, and it froze. I stuck it in there too long. So I got one of the kitchen knives out of the block, and I was stabbing it. Yeah. Trying to get it to like turn into a slushy, and I just stabbed right into, right here.

It equally, too, did not bleed. Yeah. And it closed right back up. I just banded it. But I did, of course, tell my parents, my dad, I was pretty little. It was like five or six. I was cutting a hole in the grill.

I was cutting the hole in the nose. for my late model car back in like 94 or 95 with a wholesale and the whole saw got out of control and it that scar that scar right there so it it got into the web of my hand right there and like just ate it up ate it up it was so painful you've been through some dude yeah I busted my head open I looked like Magnum T.A blood coming all down my head busts my head open skateboarding I blew my I got a scar on my knee that goes from the front all the way to the back from falling on a broken brick when I was about five, six years old. We were playing, running through the yard.

We lived in these apartments in Canapolis. Rainbow Apartments is what it was called. And with mom before we went to live with dad, and I was running through the yard or backyard of this, you know, this property where this, you know, and there was a brick that it was broken in half laying deep in the grass. It was like, you know, the grass was probably tall. enough to hide the brick. Yeah.

And I just fell on it, like getting tackled or, you know, getting tripped or whatever. And I rolled over and I could see the bone. Golly. It was crazy. I could see, I looked at my knee and I could see all kinds of white things in there. And ends and whatever. Yeah, sir. I was like, oh, my God.

My mom, we, she was dating the son of this old man who had a family practice. and when I mean family practice It's the kind of guy you went when you got a sore throat They took me in there We run over to her boyfriend's house We ended up at the dads The actual doctor Or a physician or whatever

And his practice was right across the street And so we run over there And he sewed it up And he put It was a cut I'm gonna tell you I swear it was a cut About five inches long and he put seven stitches in it Now how many stitches would you put in that today

20, 30, yes, a lot. He sewed that thing up with seven. I was screaming. Ooh, he didn't numb it? No. So, I mean, they're holding me down. I'm screaming like hell. And he sewed that thing up, put about seven stitches in it.

And it's a big old wide. It looks like a Frankenstein scar. Yes. It's a wide, ugly scar because he didn't do enough. Yeah, he didn't do enough to like, it was like, yeah. I remember having these big old bandages and being afraid to even big. in the damn thing because of the hell we had them seven strings in it, toned it together. I've got a scar on my wrist.

I was chasing my brother and he closed the screen door fast and I ran through the glass door and my mom literally had to pull a piece of glass out. It's like right over right there next to your arteries. Yeah. Holy shit, dude. That's so scary. Yeah. You boys.

Yeah. They always say boys are like always doing something and that's what they mean. You guys are just rough on yourself. I've got a scar on my lip. I'd like to say that this was when I was young, but it was when I was like. 30. I got a scar here. Here I had no idea where it came from. I woke up in a pool of blood in my bedroom. Uh, I fell out of bed. Well, so my Uber said like 1.30 a.m. Your Uber? My Uber said that I got dropped off at 1.30 at my apartment. You were an adult when

this happened? I said I was like 30. I thought this was a childhood thing figure out because it was too too. You're chill out of bed. I'll show you the photos. I got this scarred on how I got it. The falling out of the bed thing could still be possible. I didn't fall. I was walking to the bed. I think I tripped over my fan, face painted into my bed. I was. I was a frame and I laid, I woke up at 340 in a pool of blood. But I got all the blood out of the carpet. Club soda just doused it. But yeah, I'll show you the video. Like, I've got pictures in my face. When did this happen, Travis? Uh, yesterday, actually, last night. It was like 2019. Dude. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I did stuff like that when I was little. I haven't done that in a while.

I haven't had any crashes in a while. It was August 28th, 2021, actually. Damn. I'm saying. That's pretty impressive. Yeah. Well, I don't see a scar. Yeah. So you must have. I got lucky.

You got lucky. So we are about to go to Texas for Easter. We're going to take the camper again and spend the weekend out of the farm and do our typical fiesta, if you will. And so we're excited about that. Kenny actually arrived Tuesday, so he got there super fast to set up the camper for us. And we get to fly out this afternoon. I'm excited. That'll be fun.

Yeah. Same too. They're 13 kids this year. Golly. And now the girls are the age where they can look forward to it and they're like, it's something that they do. They're very much looking forward to it. So here's the thing. Hiding the things now is hard because there are a certain group of kids that are questioning everything.

And then there's some that are obviously old enough to know better anyway and still play along. But yeah, it's really hard to try to figure out how to hide everything because they're into everything in the camp. It's like hard to hide. I mean, just about anything from them anyway, but especially in an environment like that. So I'm always nervous. They're just going to stumble across all the goodies. Yeah. But it's otherwise very fun.

Dale claims he's not on a candy kick right now. Is that true? I wouldn't know because usually he binges his candy after I go to sleep. He says that ever since the Key West trip, he's pulled back on his candy consumption. Yeah, when the lady had that reaction. I brought my candy bag up to the counter. She goes, whoa. Your judgment?

Yep. You're judgment. I think it worked. I need to dial it back. Are you upset? Well, he's about to dad tax the heck out of these kids. I have. So I got, I do want to do this.

And I told Nicole I might. But she's, we're, so we're riding the school this morning and she's telling me about the Texas trip. She goes, dad, remember last year we were, you were helping me find the eggs during the Eastery hunt? Yeah. like yeah she's like yeah gonna do that again dad she didn't say that she just goes you remember that her memory's really good she's got a lot of attention

yeah i do remember that and i was wanting her or waiting for her to go let's do that again or whatever and i think she was trying to get there but and she was like uh let's play a game i was like all right she goes my favorite food and she i said man i don't know she goes i said uh is it dessert she goes yeah i said ice cream she goes

no. I said candy. She goes, yeah. I said, candy's not a food, honey. We can't live on candy. She goes, well, okay, what's my favorite candy? And I was like... I was like, well, she goes, it starts with an S. And I was like, she goes, it's sour. I was like, she says it comes in a bag. I was like, what color is it? She goes, it's all colors. And I'm like, okay. And I was like, Skittles? She goes, those aren't sour. I'm like, they can be. She goes, no, this is really, really sour. And I was like, starts with an S. And she's

back there going, I'm like, I know what an S sounds like. She's just really trying to help you out. And it was sour patch kids. And I was like, oh, I was like, when I was what took the tooth out. When I went to Key West, I got a bag of crybaby tears. And I'm like, Coley, if you like, sour, I got a candy, you need to try. It's real sour. Now it's sour, sour, sour. She goes, oh, another clue she gave me was hilarious. I was like, on the sour patch kids, I was like, give me a clue. What's it shaped like? She goes, kids. I'm like, wait, what? It's a candy, and it looks like little people, and she goes, yep. And it's sour, and you still didn't get it. I didn't. I don't know. Are they shaped like kids? Yes. Sour Patch kids.

I know, but they're little kids? Yes. Oh, I've never seen this. How have you not? Look. They all earn hard, junior. They look like a little crater kid. Damn.

Well, there you go. I have never seen one. Like, I've seen these bags, but I've never... How fast you eat? They fly straight from the bag, straight to his mouth, straight past his vision. I don't see them. Well, that's what you were eating in Colorado when your tooth came out. They were just shaped like watermelons.

Yes, watermelons. Two deals defense. This photo here. There you go. Yeah, but it's... They're called kids, sour patch kids. All right. So, all right.

So that happens. And I said, I got this candy you need to try. And it's crybaby tears. Or I said it's cry babies. And she goes, are they shaped. Are those the ones that are individually wrapped? They look like, shaped like tears. And, but I don't know if they're crybaby tears or just cry babies.

But that's what it is. Yeah, I've never had those. And she goes, is it shaped like little babies? I was like, no. That's a great question considering the kids. I was like, no, it's shaped like a little tear. You're not going to eat babies. Well, we just got off to talking about little kids.

I know, and so she's thinking for sure, cry babies must be shaped like a baby. Yes. And she goes, is it going to make me cry? I hope it don't make me cry. I'm like, no, I don't think it really will make you cry. I feel like we need to give her some of these. Oh, we're going to.

And so after school, I said you could try one. You have some at home? Yes, I got them from Key West, a whole bag. Oh, you still have them. Oh, of us. So he hasn't eaten his candy. He still hasn't eaten the Key West candy. Look at him.

There's a lot of it. I got crybaby tears, crybaby gum, and then some caramels. What are the ones that are like little rounds and they usually are warheads? Warheads are really sour. Those are pretty good,

but they're the hard candy. I like crybabies and the crybaby tears are good. I'm going to shower. I'll try one too. Yeah, they're good. Hi guys, welcome to Ask Amy. Dale and I are in the Dirty MoMedia Studios and we have had a lot of fun conversation.

today. Hopefully you guys will check it out. What do you have, Travis? So the first question, we had a few people ask us. They want to know, did we have an update on the bunk cake situation? Okay, so the bunk cake situation is, yes, the bunk cake that Dale stole is still to be determined. We don't know for sure if he truly stole the cake. But just about as soon as the clip of us talking about the cake went out last week, the bunk cake ladies from the store in Morseville showed up at Junior Motorsports with another cake. Now we have three. Just wishing us happy birthday.

So we're up to three bunk cakes. And there's a new cake that showed up at the house. That has carrots on top of it. Yes. So I went to brunch yesterday with my girlfriends. We worked out in dim falates and then we went to brunch. And I got yet another carrot cake. And we had buntini's at lunch.

I got, the cake count has reached like seven or eight at this point. Good Lord. Yes. So we have really made up for a lost time with carrot cake. But as far as the buntingies, Just mention something on the podcast. It just baseball cards, baseball cards, baseball cards,

Cold beer. Cold beer, cold beer, cold beer, cold beer, Col beer, Colbeer. Chanel, Chanel, Chanel. Chanel? What? Oh my gosh. The cakes have really been plentiful this year. And so I'm going to take the cake that I got yesterday

because it hasn't been cut into Texas for Easter. That explains why then, I think James was like yesterday. It's like, hey, there's your cake in the brink. break room. Yeah. Another one? Yeah. Yeah.

We'll take it. Yeah, buddy. Next question is, is there a movie you refuse to watch because it'll make you cry? Or is there a movie that you watch that, like, you want a good cry? So I don't refuse to cry. I feel like I'm going to be emotional just doing, I get emotional even watching video clips of his dad, whom I've never met. It just, like, I get really excited and big emotions just make me cry. Yeah.

I've almost cried watching the rocket launch yesterday. you know, just because I got excited. It took me back to my childhood. It gave me like Ronald Reagan era vibes, you know, when you were that age. Does that make any sense to you? Yes, it is. So sometimes I watch movies knowing I might cry, like a league of their own. I love that movie.

It reminds me of like... You go cry during the league of their own. Yes, the sister relationship and all of the things. Okay, yep. Oh, yeah. When they come back together at the end, I cry like a baby. I love that. I don't care to cry.

Yeah. We have a friend, his name is Billy, who will purposely put on sad country songs because he wants to cry. The end of Lonesome Dove. The End of Lonesome Dove makes you cry? Is that a thing that other men crying? Yeah, when he takes Gus all the way, so Gus passes away, dies in that town after he wouldn't let him amputate his leg. He took an arrow to the knee, and he's like, he ain't cutting my leg off. I'm not going to hobble around in a chair.

So he dies. And he promised him. So they had traveled all the way up to Montana to create a ranch. Well, he dies. Now he said, you got to take me all the way back to Texas and bury me next to the creek where I had this date with this girl that I love. And so he's like, you son of him. So he drags him all the way back. Yeah.

And now Woodrow, I believe. is at the town. He has buried his friend, and he's standing at the town, and there's a guy that walks up just like a journalist, and he's like, hey, are you who I think you are? You ran, you know, you were the first one to take a, you know, do a cattle drive all the way up to Montana. He's like, yep.

He's like, you and your buddy did this, that, and the other. He's like, yep, he's like, you brought your buddy all the way back here. After he passed away, he's like, I did. And it's just really emotional. know. If you watch, it's a Lonesome Dove. It's the love that makes you emotional.

It's like their relationship. It's the same thing for me watching. Lawson Dove is a miniseries and it's an eight-hour thing, which isn't a big deal these days. I used to tell my friends like, I get my buddies and I'd be like, let's watch Lonesome Dove. That's a weird ass thing to do with your buddies.

They're like, really? I'm like, man, it's good. You feeling okay, Dale? Yeah. And this ain't like, you know, if I would have said. This is before the Netflix binge. I know.

If I would have said, hey, let's watch an hour and a half long movie, you know, they'd be like, cool. Okay. But I'm like, this is eight hours. And they're like, yeah, I'm not doing that. And but now people sit down. Oh, yeah. Benge watch shows, right?

See, I was ahead of my time. I was a binger before binging was cool. But Lonesome Dove, man, if you ain't never watched it, the actors in that, the list of people Diane Lane, all the people that are in that. insane and the storyline is incredible so if you just went and read the cast

you would go this is going to be good but the storyline is really awesome they did a good they did a good job I think I was in the ninth or you know 10th 11th grade when that came out yeah it's a good movie Tom Lee Jones Diane Lane Ricky Schroeder

Chris Cooper Timothy Scott Robert O'Rich you remember him Danny Glover Angelica Houston He was good Robert DeBal is one of the league characters and he does an amazing job

Our dog is named after Captain Augustus McCrae That's right Gus is after that character Steve Buschimi's in there How about that? It's a good cast Yes dude I'm telling you

You need to watch it It is a good Saturday binge If you got nothing to do Oh it's so good You'll finish it if you start it Pretty good You'll have to report back on If you have cried out

There's some sad moments It's like Danny Glover gets killed and it's just like, you're like, no, man. You know, when you're watching a show, people can appreciate this, right? I think we all can. You'll get into a movie or a series and one of your favorite character dies early. You're like, God, dang. No, man. It hurt your feelings.

I don't want that one to go, you know? Yeah. That's how I was like, I watched Survivor. And if you do and you haven't watched last night, turn away, but somebody got voted off. I did. And I was like, damn, I'm like, that like. Who you were rooting for it? Yeah, I was like, that hurt.

Like, I wanted them to stay in there. Who was it? I don't want to say the name just in case anybody's... Oh, okay. Not watched yet? Yeah, just in case. I don't want to be that person that's well. But yeah, sometimes I'll put on like some sad country music or whatever and just

you're in one of those moods. I didn't pick that for you, sad country. Like if it's like, let's say it's like a Friday night and you're not doing anything and you got some, you're having a drink or two and put on some music and just like... Getting your feelings? Yeah. Sometimes you just got it. Sometimes you need it.

And just release it. Yeah. But I know one of the movies that I saw as people said Marley and Me is a movie that like they know if they watch it. I'm not watching a dog movie. Okay. So yes, Homeward Bound cried like a baby. Yeah. That one I don't think I want to watch anymore.

So back to the original question, I probably wouldn't put that on because I can't handle that. Animals. Yeah. You know, going through stuff. People, yes, but not animals. And I don't want the kids to see that either. Yeah. Break their little hearts.

Next question is they want to know. Has Dale tried your face mask thing that you've been? He has not. No. And I try to do that kind of stuff when he's not around because he's just going to clown the shit out of me. I walked into the bathroom the other night and she had it on.

Do you remember? No. Yes, like three or four nights ago. Maybe it was a week ago, but I walked in there and you had on this full thing and you giggles. Oh, they're talking about my LED mask. Yeah.

Yeah. It looks like a Jason mask that's sitting on the floor, the white one. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, I try to do. Yeah, no, I'm not doing that. No, you're not doing it.

But no, I try to do all of my voodoo girly stuff when he is down there ripping cards or playing video games or whatever he's doing. Yeah. Because I don't want to get into a cloud. I mean, he has come up before and I've had masks on where I can't move my face, so I can't even laugh with him. And it's like the laughing keeps going and it hurts. So, you know, we've been together a long time.

He's seen quite a bit of food. I found it funny just because it's dark and you're red and you just hear Amy's voice. Yeah. You know what I should do is put that damn thing on and creep up on his ass and just turn it on? Yeah. Boo. He's scared to shit. I mean.

the last two nights coming to bed. The next time that you wake up in the middle of the night and he's asleep, put it on. I should. If you're not scaring. I might try all that. If you're not trying to scare your wife on a regular basis. Do you even like her? You're not having fun.

He used to jump out and scare me in the house all the time. And then we had kids and now he does it with him. But every once in a while, I'm still awake. He'll scare me coming to bed. I came up stairs. It was like 10.30 and she's in bed scrolling on her phone. I was watching a video with this little girl who was. was suffering from something that her mom was helping her with.

And I was like, oh. And I didn't know he was standing in the doorway. And he goes, oh. I'm like, oh. Why? You got to fight fire with fire. Maybe. Yeah, well.

I'm standing there. It's dark. Super dark. Yeah. But you can probably see my silhouette. And so. You couldn't because I had my phone light in my face. I couldn't see anything.

And I'm sitting there. I'm like, man, I want to look over here and get scared. And she goes, and she's watching. the thing. She goes, oh, she has no idea anyone's there

and she's like, oh, and I was like, oh, man, and she talks to her phone and she, like, she was like,

she was like, I know, but like I was, I mean, I'd be, I, I hear you laugh all the time. Like you'll be watching TV

or whatever and she just cackles at the TV. Doesn't everyone? Yeah, but, you know. Yeah, he likes to scare me.

He scared me last night just, by accident because I happened to forget to put my teeth aligners in before I went to sleep. And so I went back to the bathroom. And so I'm in one doorway. He's coming in the other one. And I didn't expect him because usually I can hear him walking. And he's, there he is again.

I'm like, God. And he loves it. God, he loves it when he scares me, especially when it's by pure accident like that. One more question here is they want to know, what is your favorite scent or scents for candles? Do you have ones that you always like to have at the house? house. Vanilla. No.

So I don't like, I don't like food smelling candles. Come on, TJ. Oh, TJ? Oh, TJ? Love vanilla. Vanilla.

I said, TJ, what's your top three ice creams? He goes, well, vanilla's one. I'm like, what's the hell? You got to put like something fun. It's got to have some extra in it.

He's also the type of guy that orders the kids grilled cheese or the kids cheese and turkey with no spreads on it. And he'll double down and get some to go when he comes to the beach. He's going back to the racetrack. That's what he eats for the next few days.

So like that's, is just vanilla. That's who T. Yeah. What was the question again? I remember. Cends, scents that you like to have at house. Yeah, I don't like food candle scents. So I like sandalwood, anything kind of like woodsy, more masculine smelling or just something clean. My favorite candle ball time, I think is everyone's favorite. It's called volcano. And it has like this lemony. I don't think I've ever. Just really clean scent. I'm a big like, yeah, you bought some. You've smelled them. We have them. He's trying to make notes.

Like the ocean breeze kind of one. But I also love like an apple cinnamon. So if it's like October, September and October, there's like a small little window when I can deal with that. But like I ain't going to burn the whole candle down. I just like a day or two. Oh, I'll burn that thing. In the last couple of weeks, maybe it's, I may be, I say weeks. In the last couple of months, I've caught Nicole playing with the candles. Yeah, I can't burn candles with Nicole in the house.

She blows them all out. So we got a candle over by the front door that's at three or four. It's a big giant one. Yeah. It's one of the big ones. And I come out of the library, which is upstairs, and I can look over the banister. And she's standing there, and I heard her go,

and I walk over, and one of the wicks is done out. And the other three are still lit. And I go, you mess with that candle? She goes, nope. And I was like, you sure? She goes, nope, just standing here. And I was like, little liar.

Be careful now. You mess with that. of that. And that sucks, too, because that type of candle, if you don't have all the wicks burning, it doesn't melt right? And then the whole thing gets screwed up. You get a tunnel and it's the worst. Yeah, they got to burn evenly. Yeah. But. Yeah, like clean, smell. Clean, crisp, non-food smelling for the most part. But yeah, if it's fall, I can deal with, like, pumpkin spice or apple. So Nicole told me something that made a lot of sense today. We was riding a school in the car and we were talking about favorite, I was like asking her,

what her favorite new cartoon was. And then I said, all right, tell me a show that you used to watch that you don't like anymore. You know, we're going through all these little things. I was just curious what she would say. And she says, my favorite cartoon character. And I'm like, I don't know, who is it?

She goes, Wednesday. And I'm like, this tracks. Yeah. 100%. She's found the Adams family, and there's a cartoon now about Wednesday. And she's obsessed. She likes creepy everything.

That's her. Oh. She is a little Wednesday. Is it not? Yeah. She's always kind of like messing with things. She knows she shouldn't do. She knows she ain't supposed to touch.

She knows she... Don't touch that. You know? Can I tell you something really weird that she did the other day? You sure you want the world to know it? Maybe not. Maybe I'll tell you later. Yeah.

I think that the Wednesday thing, like you said, tracks, but she's like, she likes to take things apart. She wants to... She likes creepy stuff. Like, she likes snakes. We went to sweetgrass the other day to do Easter baskets. and she went straight for these little 3D printed critters and picked out all the little snakes, which is why we have all those now.

Okay. So she's barely into that. So we could end up being the Adams family for Christmas or for Halloween. Well, she would definitely probably enjoy being Wednesday. But that was a new revelation for me. All right, well, that's all we got for this week. All right. Thank you guys for your questions.
