Hey guys, Dale Jr. and I are back in the Dirty Mo Media studio for another round of Bless Your Heart. We have a good show for you today. We're going to talk about Driven to Give, what's going on lately, and there's a new Whataburger in town. Let's get started. The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. Bless your heart. Oh, yeah, this is what it's going to be, girl, if we're going to hang out. Oh, you look amazing. I can stare at you all day. Are you kidding? I couldn't believe it. What's going on? The world is not your trash hand.

I slept till two smoking cigarettes and drinking AMP energy. We have mercy. Why is that so funny to you? I didn't know. We were going to talk about that. We're going to talk about it. All right. I got the inside scoop on opening day for the Texas Waterburger chain that is now in Moorsville.

And I feel like this is like God dropped in a little nugget for me to make me feel at home. We need to address it. First off, drink of the week presented by High Rock Vodka, today's drink is the sun drops of Jupiter. Sun Drops of Jupiter. Four ounces of sun drop. For those of you who aren't in local to North Carolina, sundrop is a citrus soda, comparable to do or mellie yellow,

but I've drank sundrop all my life, and it's been in our frieges since my dad was young. And I'm racing the sundrop car this weekend at Tri-County. So, you know, some sun-drop, four ounces, two ounces of High Rock vodka, a splash of cherry juice. Then they have a cherry lemon sundrop, which you can also get in a red can. Cherry lemon sundrop ice cubes. Yeah, she froze the soda and ice cube in a tray and made.

That way, it's never watered down, too. It's like sundrop, sundrop, sundrop, sundrop. Yeah, it's super sweet. Really, really good. So that's a nice drink. Visit highrockvodka.com for a locator on the store to be able to help you. find a bottle near you so you're not traveling searching on a wild goose chase please remember to drink responsibly and you must be 21 years or older or over and so yeah let's get right into it

i was uh is here she's not in the room but she's out in the lobby i wanted her to come in here not for the show because we'd have to really clean it up but i thought it'd be neat for her to see what we're due i think she'd probably clam up zero interest no no she has no interest. She could care less about what anybody else is doing. She's out there. She gets this genetic trait from someone that it's not her idea. It's not important.

No. Yeah. So she's not in here with us. Do you know what happened last night that was awesome? And I, um. No, I don't. What? This has nothing to do with nothing. Oh.

But last night, Nicole is going to be five in a couple days. Yeah. And, um, uh, big time for her. She's turning five. She's getting ready. She's going into boosters now. She didn't need the car sheets anymore, which is great for us.

Yeah. Get rid of those both things. Yeah. But last night I said, as I was closing the door to her bedroom, good night, princess. And she said, good night, my king. That's some straight bullshit.

She did. I swear to God. You ask her. I didn't even hear you chuckle last night. When you put her to bed. So how am I supposed to believe that? I was holding that one in. I just was, it happened.

You came into Isla's room after you put her down and said nothing about this. I know. Well, I didn't want y'all to go. Oh, he didn't want us to poo poo on his parade. I was feeling great. Because even Ila probably would have been like, uh-huh.

I didn't want anybody to pop the balloon. But she did. I said, I mean, I said, good night, Princess. I say something super sweet.

And most every time. time and she said good night my king i was like oh that's ridiculous it's hilarious it's weird i thought it was awesome she she got into the car this morning and she uh i saw her booster and i said oh they got a new car yeah i saw the booster instead of trying to put the other car seat in which is such a pain of the rear end and i never get it tight enough anyway i just threw a booster and I was like, you got this, Coley. Just sit in this, don't tell anybody. I said, hey, you're in a booster now.

She goes, yep. And she's climbing in there and she picks up. She goes, little goldfish, like it was hung down in her. Yeah. She just said it, like in such a funny way. She looked at me and goes, oh, just a little goldfish. And she put it in the little cup holder. The clean car clearly didn't last a day.

There's goldfish to be found already. She has such a funny since you hear. Yeah, she does. Everything's kind of matter of fact. Yeah. Nothing's very serious except for chocolate. Yeah. And that's the only thing she takes seriously.

And Ila has gotten super huggy. Totally not a hugger has now gotten huggy. Yeah, you used to, she'd walk up to her, try to give her hug, and she'd just go ahead and karate chop you, punch you, growl at you. She's like, get off of me. And now she wants to hug everybody. She's even hugging on her friends at school. Yeah, which is. I don't love that.

Not allowed, yeah. Yeah. But like girlfriends, like they're all hanging on each other. I kind of remember my mom telling us that when we were like, quit hanging all over each other. It's so weird. Yeah. So maybe it's just a phase kids go through. Yeah, certainly a phase. But she's back to being nice again. One that I, yeah, she is. I told her. It's good. We were in the car getting ready to drop off yesterday. And I told her, I said, man, you have been awesome. You've been such a good little girl here lately. I just wanted to tell you. Well, Driven to Give us tonight. That is our annual. an annual major sort of event for the foundation. And that is tonight. We have a silent auction. Fans can be a part of it.

I encourage you, even if you don't bid, just to go check out what we have, share with friends. Maybe you'll send a friend something that you think they may want to bid on. So even if you don't bid, you might be supporting us some way somehow. So go to the Dale Jr. Foundation. dot org the dale jr foundation.org and the silent auction ends on october the third at 2 p.m. So that's a couple days.

It is the first. Yeah. It goes through Friday. Yeah. So the auction won't end tonight. That's something I didn't know. That's a new thing. So usually it ends the night of the event.

And it's good if you are only able to bid if you're at the event. But we have taken that a little bit more broad now so that people that can't attend have a chance to also support the foundation and find some cool items some of my friends have been sending me some not so funny jokes about how there's a lot of Dallas Cowboys items yeah there's an Emmett Smith jersey in there on this auction but hey there's a lot of great things there are there's some trips small items big items yeah yeah yeah lots to look at yes check it out um as I mentioned I'm running this weekend at Tri County for in the Sundrop car so Try County, we went and tested a couple weeks ago.

It went all right. Does that mean it went all right? Well, I don't know. What are you expecting when you roll up for a test? I try not to be pessimistic about this, but I'll be honest. Like, I've ran the late mona car, let's say a dozen times. And it's probably a little bit more than that. But say I've ran it 12 times.

There's some runs where it's not great. And then there's some runs where it's pretty good. That's the same car? Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying like, you know, I've ran okay, not, I've not ran great ever, except for that one time in the red bud car. The red bud car, we were lights out. Oh, yeah, the night that I, lights out literally fell asleep.

Yeah. That was the one race where it was like, man, we really did have the shot to win. Maybe the first race, too, when I drove the gold Bass Pro car and was running good. So I've had a couple good runs. Do you think it has to do with your mental state? I honestly think it has to, do, so we went testing, and I thought, I think I talked to you about this. So, um, we go testing.

And you did talk to me about this. Yeah. It's, I don't know. We don't. Go ahead. We went, um, we went testing and I can run the lap times that the other guys run. I can't hot lap. I ain't got a damn qualifying lap in me left.

And you never were like a qualifier. And it was like the vein of your existence. I know. In the first, you know, in the first several years of my career, I never felt like I was subpar at qualifying. All through the Xfinity Series in 989 and through the bud years, there were ups and downs, but there were some good qualifying runs mixed in there that never made me feel like, man, this is a weakness for me. But for whatever reason. Is it like a moment, like a qualifying run, a weekend or something that like destroyed your confidence? I don't know if it was something you thought about too hard? I don't know what it is, but I've lost that edge or just that under, I've lost the knack for going out there and putting down a really hard, fast lap.

It don't exist. It doesn't exist. Don't exist in me. And so we went to the test, right? And we're out there running and say we're running, I ran a really, my best lap was like a 91 and we run a lot of flats and teens and 20s. and we're like, I don't know if this is good. And so, Caden Quapples there, Carson's younger brother, he races pros and late model stocks for us as well. The plan is for him to go full time next year and the cars tour for us.

And I said, hey, man, put your suit on, hop in here before we load this car up. And he gets in there and on, you know, 25 lap tires running, runs an 81. And that's two, that's a 10th faster and I run on stickers. and but you know his next lap his second third fourth fifth lap are exactly like mine flats teens it's just not i can't go out there and just go great for one lap i don't know and i'm turning 51 i've always had this sort of uh i've always had this you know i always sort of been interested in the mystery of why drivers slow down you know and every time i've had a guy on the dale junior download like not not picking on anybody but like interviewing

doing it a guy like Dale Jarrett, right? And saying, Dale Jarrett, you were awesome. But, you know, at some point in your career, it goes away, it leaves you, or there's variables. Is it just because you get more cautious in life? I don't really know.

I don't, it's a mystery. I have no idea. So is that like a question you ask every retarer, like verbatim, like, why do we slow down? Yeah. And nobody can explain it? No.

It's different for different people. Injury, they get in a bad car, they lose good rides, you know, stuff like that. That's obvious. Yeah. But like I've got a pretty solid race car. This thing should qualify top 10.

It should race top 10. I'll probably not qualify that well with it. And if I did qualify well with it, I'd certainly race the way it should because I think I can run the race the way it needs to be ran. But for whatever reason, man. And so yeah, going into this weekend, I'm looking forward to it. I want to do it. I signed up for it.

But I don't know what to think about like going out there and just getting smoked by these kids. Yeah, it hurts your feeling. So he came home and he's like, he'll never guess, and he tells the whole story. And he's like, I just, and he's stomping his feet like,

yeah, it pisses me off so bad. I'm like, I've got all this. I said, Dale, blink your eyes. And he goes, I'm like, that's how fast that was. Like that, that tent that you're talking about, like, let it go, man. You're right. It's not that big of a deal.

You're right. But I just, I want to, you know, I like being able to run these races and being somewhat competitive. And when you feel like you're going, to the race and you're handicapped in qualifying because of your age or your ability or

your lack of sharpness or whatever it is. I don't know what it is but you feel like you go into the race with that handicap and qualifying that's going to sort of make the race more difficult. But it should be fun. Hey, who knows? You know, I think every now and then

a blind squirrel finds a nut and I've had a couple good qualifying runs. What did you just say? blind squirrel can find a nut so that's an old scene so maybe maybe we get maybe we get lucky i was talking to john wood about this yesterday uh on our on the dale junior download john wood is is like that as well how is he he john wood is a little younger than me but he's the president at woodbrothers racing oh okay and um he is uh he Leonard's eddie's son eddie's grandson Glenn's grandson got it.

Not. Leonard would be his uncle. His uncle. Yeah. And so great uncle. So every time Josh Barry runs good, we end up in a text conversation. And he's like, I'm like, hey man, you know, badass going well today. And he goes, just keep watching.

What does that mean? Like it's about to come out and done any minute. Like it's not going to last. That's the type of attitude you have. I know. I just said that. What the fuck you wrong with that? Generation of you, you guys, like, y'all are.

like it's it can't nothing good can last and I told that in a lot of aspects of life I agree he um I'm I'm sort of in and out of watching the race and Josh didn't pit stayed out the rest of the field come down gets tires and now Josh is starting on the front row and I turn I turned it back to the race and I'm like oh Josh is starting first and right around the same time John texts me and he goes here's uh well it's fun while it lasted that's what he said and I'm like Like, John, you're leading. You're restarting first here, pal. What do you mean?

And then I put it together. He's like, well, we're going to the back because we're on used tires. Would Josh run second? You know, to Blaney. And I told him on the show yesterday, I said, you know, I felt I was exactly like you. I went into everything, even when it was going well, thinking when is it going to fall apart? What's it going to be this time? And Amy told me about the law of attraction and that I was bringing, I was, you know,

it you can't it's not magic it's not it's not magic no you can't think oh I want this to happen and poof it's going to be that way right but if you are thinking negatively that energy can often yeah you can often that situation for yeah you can often like allow yourself to accept or um encourage that that bad result so I told him about that law of attraction I said ever since amy coming come into my life and told me about that and I've been and trying to, like, have a different attitude. I'll try to think about it, like, even if the small child, like if they have a bad attitude all day every day,

it not only makes their day bad, but it's making everybody else's day bad around them. You know what I mean? So, like, you have to, you know, set yourself up for choosing joy and, like, attracting the things you want into your life. Yeah, that's the worst feeling. I come in here sometimes in a bad mood, and I feel guilty because I know that it brings everyone else down.

And you're like, yeah, I don't want to mess with their day. I'm mad about this or that. Yeah, leave it outside. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't know where we're going. But I want to talk about what we started talking about, Waterburger. So there are two Whataburger chains.

Well, the universe knows this, right? That's a... North Carolina has their own Whataburger. Yes, they do. And it is great. It is like the old school drive-in. They have not changed a thing since when did they open? It's like a Sonic from 1950.

From the 50s, 40s maybe. like the hamburgers are the same size. The portions are the same size. And it's great. But the Texas Waterburger chain that I grew up eating literally was the only fast food place we went to regularly. It was right outside the neighborhood. They even have breakfast tacos. They are now in Worsville.

And I'm so freaking pumped. It's right there in front of Target. Like in an area of town I circle most stays, you know. And it opens on your birthday. Damn. insider information from our friends at Waterburger, and they open on your birthday, which is next Friday. So I'm going to be the first in line. Okay.

And I'm just so excited because even if I don't go all the time, just seeing the building there makes me feel good. Oh, good. Yeah. I can appreciate that. The Waterburger from Texas is a very big business. Yeah. It's a big change. Yeah.

And growing, obviously, coming all the way out here to North Carolina. We've got Buckees here now and now we have Waterburger. The North Carolina Waterburger was very minimized to, you know, the Salisbury, Canapolis, Concord, Mooresville area. And there's only, you know, less than two dozen of them in existence at the peak, I suppose, if I had to guess. But so. Well, I hope it doesn't take the other Waterburger out. Of course, yeah, I think it's important to say. So, and I don't know how that.

Because they are different. They are very different. But at the same time, it's burgers and fries. Confusing. It is confusing. And it's spelled the same. I don't know how they can both, I don't know how they can both exist in the same place. I think, I think because of what you just said, your waterburger, the local water burger has not changed.

Like, it's dynamic is what makes it special. The people that are going to that water burger, the old school North Carolina water burger, are not going to stop going to it. You're right. So the business they have, I don't think, is going to be effective. by the new Waterburger, it's just maybe going to be confusing. We don't have an NC Waterburger in Moorsville. No. So like, oh, yeah, we do.

Where? Oh, it's on Main Street. So like, but they're not close. It's downtown Morseville. This one's like literally on the other side of town. Well, I. So maybe that will help not affect anything. But I'm excited.

I have, I'll be honest. Look, I have not been to our local Waterburger in a long time. I think I did take Ila there I've taken the girls through there Yeah, corn dogs and whatever You know, just for her to experience what's going on You got her a witch doctor also I did

Well, she didn't drink Like you put all the sodas in there It's got cherry loon sun drop in there Pickle juice Yeah, an actual pickle in the bottom It's pretty terrible But It's unique

So when I Was When I When dad raised his his Bush car, his affinity team, out of the garage in Mammal's backyard, he went there every day. This is before the farm, had on Cottle Creek or Highway 3.

This is in the 80s. Dad went there every morning. He would, you know, he would sometimes, he didn't, there weren't appearances. He wasn't so much of a businessman. Every day he got up and drove to that shop and worked on his cars with Tony senior and Rick Boss. and I begged him to take me when I couldn't, when I wasn't in school, begged him.

And I'd ride with him to the shop and go play in the neighborhood with the kids. And at lunch, we never ate anything but the Waterburger in Canapolis. Yeah. Never ate anything else. There was no hearties eating. There was no nothing. Yeah. And we always got the same orders.

And you could get a extra order of pickles. And they were the burger-style sliced. Yeah. Super dilly. good. And so it's kind of like Sundrop. Like I became, I worked with Mountain Dew. I've, you know, dad had Meli Yellow on his car at one point in the early 80s. But, but Sundrop's the home team. And not like that you feel the same way about your Waterburger as I feel about mine. Yeah. And so it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. For like a house divided.

So like, same to your point. Waterburger was the only thing I ate, even my dad now, he, he works, shift work forever. We go to Texas, we eat it. We eat whatever, yeah. It's fine. I like it. Like, he wakes up, and that's what he eats for lunch. He eats, like, two meals a day. Like, you eat water burger, and then he'll have dinner, and that's it.

And so, like, it's always been a staple. I've enjoyed going to it when we go there. I remember seeing it on the race cars. Freaking David Starr had it on Jimmy Means' Bush car a couple years ago. And it's orange, which I like orange. So, and I like that it's, like, when I go out to Texas to visit y'all your family, I like doing the things that y'all do. Yeah, the legal things. Yeah, so, I mean, it is what it is.

But this is unprecedented. It really feels like that. There's never been, like, there's never been another store moved into another town that was named exactly the same that there wasn't some sort of a controversy. Yeah, right. Like a legal ramification. Yeah. There's something we're missing because they're here. So who knows.

Yeah. But I'm excited. I can't wait to go through the drive-thru, and I'm going to be smiling from your year. But your birthday is when it opens next Friday. So that's where all. Yeah. Yeah, 51.

How was your 50th year? The 50th year was awesome. I wish you could do it again. We had a friend of our sent us a photo the other day of our group picture from Bozeman when we were in Bozeman a year ago in Montana. And I hate how those great trips like that just come and go so quickly. But it feels like it was two years ago. I know.

We haven't seen some of those people that were on that trip since then, which is silly. And life's flying by. Yeah. It does that. It does. But I guess we won't do as much for the 51st year, I suppose. I'm not getting my hopes up. I celebrate 51 like we celebrated 50.

I think that was impossible. Yeah. I might lose a kitty life if I have to celebrate a birthday like that again. We have a scary party plan for Nicole. Yes. You want me to be some spooky? Yeah. Okay.

I ordered a mask or you ordered a mask. I didn't order anything. I was just a suggestion. Oh, I thought that was on order and coming. No, I didn't order it if you were not going to wear it. I was just sending it to you. Yeah, I didn't order it. Oh, man.

Well, yeah, we got to get something here. That might be too far for a birthday. Yeah, we don't have to get that aggressive. This is a beetle juice mask. The guy opens his mouth that has like a thousand teeth and his eyeballs are in his throat. wrote, I was going to wear that for Halloween, but apparently it's not ordered, so it's not coming. But I think the one I, when we were looking at it on your Amazon, it was for the, for, it was a

female size. Oh, I don't know. Which that one to fit. How do we know that? I looked at your Amazon orders to see if it was coming. I can't remember. Are you sure? I think so.

This doesn't feel like any of this would have happened. You had known it was not on order. You sent me a screenshot of it. I just remember seeing it and going, oh, I'm glad. This is how confusion starts, and this is why women and men have such a hard time communicating. I send him a link. I'm like, hey, this would be fun for you and T.J. to do. And now he thinks, Amy ordered it.

It's on its way, but it's for a woman, so we're going to have a problem. Which, where did that all come from? I haven't ordered anything. I think as I get older. You just fill in the blanks with whatever your assumptions are? My brain just, I need to go to the run prompt and type in defrag. Do you remember defragging your heart? drive?

No? Really? Defragging. We're millennials. We don't know how to do things like that. Oh, man. My hard drive is fragmented and needs to be defragmented. That would help.

Or do we sign you up for that? Is that like a store or something? Is there a, that is a window operation? We can drop you off. That's what we're going to do for your birthday. That is a window. Defrags. You're always, you know, there was a couple things you always did to your hard

drive every now and then to keep her running smooth. Okay. It's not even an option anymore, I don't think. You guys wouldn't believe what it was like when I was in college when you had floppy disks. I knew floppy disks a little bit. Our piano, too, still runs off those floppy disks. They do. I was on a computer in drafting class as a senior in Mooresville. They didn't have Windows.

It was just DOS. you'd start the computer and you put in your heart you put in your floppy and you needed to know the command to run what was on the floppy and it was just you start the computer and there was the C prompt or the D prompt you know the D prompt you know there wasn't no windows or you know like no coding language or something you had to know how to you had to know what to type in to get to run whatever program was on and it was usually written in Sharpie or something on the on the on the on the on the on the on the on the, on the disc. But I used to play Nass, uh, Bill Elliott's NASCAR challenge on a DOS prompt. So the,

the computer was so rudimentary that it didn't even have like, dude. Icons. You had to type in to get the computer system running. Yeah. But they had a NASCAR game. There was a Bill Elliott's NASCAR challenge, DOS version that I would take and run on,

uh, on the computer at, at high school in a 12th grade. And I remember the anxiety of wondering whether this computer could even run this. I mean, you know, I didn't know about computers back then, but I'm thinking. So you've got anxiety your entire life. And I really wasn't supposed to be doing it playing video games in school. That's where the anxiety.

You were just nervous journey at part too. That makes more sense. Man, that was my introduction to video games, racing motorsports video games, was Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge. That was some, it was awesome. Yeah, looking at it now, the graphics are terrible. Alex, it's like... You are 51, man.

Bless you. Hey, you want to help us design some bless your heart merch. Here's your chance. Submit your designs by October the 13th for a chance to be featured on the Dirtymoe Media merch website. Yeah, the top three bestsellers. They're going to win cash prizes, and I might send you a little beef jerky as well. Scan the QR code and enter your design. Good luck.

I got a random question. Yeah. Do you follow any weird niche accounts on your social media? If you do, are you going to share them anyway? Let me see. I don't really do anything right now except for Instagram. That's where all the good stuff is. That in TikTok.

I went through and I basically just follow like... Whatever I go to see my followers? That's not C-I-M-51. Fashioned. You can't even find it. The only thing that I follow that probably you guys wouldn't, it's plastic surgery accounts. Whoa.

I wouldn't. I'm like very into seeing... the process and the before and afters. There's one specific that I follow. It's called the beauty broker. And so she's like a consultant that will help you find your doctor, depending on what procedure you want to have done. Don't like where this is going.

And I mean, she's really good. And so these people are like reborn. And so it's so fascinating to follow that. And like I have a couple of friends that also follow those pages and we'll send them back and forth to each other. Like this one, we should mark and keep this one. Should I be concerned? It was amazing. No.

Okay. They look good. Like she finds good doctors, not like whatever local guy is just going to do it for you. You know what I mean? So it's fun. But that's really the only niche thing I follow. I see lots of, lots of weird stuff on my search page. Yeah.

Do you follow weird stuff? I follow, I don't know if he's weird. This is this one guy on TikTok that just like prank calls, random stores. And it's funny because he'll be like, I have my daughter's sweet 16 coming up. And it's like, I need a venue for 16,000. And it's like a small restaurant and they freak out on the phone. They're like panicking. And they're like, well, I don't think we could accommodate that.

You need a stadium. And it's like really funny. And he starts breaking down crying on the phone. Now they're consoling them. It's a whole like five minute thing. It's one of the better prank calls I've ever heard. That's pretty funny. It's really funny.

I like it when it's entertaining like that. I did stumble onto one yesterday. I noticed another friend was following it too. So I was texting with her about it last night. But she's actually a travel agent and she will help you, like a high-end concierge, if you will, like she'll help you find a really nice watch or whatever. Yeah. But she does like parody re, what's it called when you're redoing it?

Sorry. Parodies, yeah. Yeah, it's like a parody account, but the actual conversations were real, but she just uses fake names and all the mess so like to protect her clients. Yeah. But the conversations between these people, like the dad and the daughter going between her because she wants this like $90,000 watch and she's not coming to visit dad with his new 25-year-old wife unless she gets the watch

and then like there's all these conversations back and forth. And there's so long that there's like parts to it. Yeah. And that's highly entertaining. But what's disturbing is that these accounts are real, like real moments that happen between these crazy people

with just like more money than sense. Yeah. It makes you feel good about your choices and like your morals and all the things. I follow Zillow Gone Wild. Got a little chuckles. A couple of jokes. What is that?

Zillow gone wild. It's a good one. There was a house on there yesterday that was a Las Vegas bunker house, and it's really cool downstairs in the bunker. There was another house that had like a 70s rompa room. What? Yeah, like a... A what?

A rompah room? Rompah. What is that? It's kind of like a bar. A rompa? I don't know. That's what it called it. It said a 70s rompa room, whatever that means.

But it was like... shag carpet, all orange, you know, bars and I have a bar here and a, you know, gambling table, but very 70s. And they're always on the weirdest places. Yeah. In the middle of these random parts of Pennsylvania or Minnesota. Since I follow them, I get a ton of, you know, old house renovation sites and stuff, which I always, 99% of them, I'm like,

I'm glad I saw this. It's neat, you know. And then you get online and go see where they're at, where they're located. You get this, like, weird sort of, I get, you get in this sort of weird, like, daydream of, like, if you actually bought it. Oh, really? You go that far? Yeah, I do. I do.

Could you picture yourself in the rompah room? I was looking at, like, doing state of Nago Jules? Like, I was looking at some mansion that had been remodeled. It's in the middle of some small town in Indiana. It's on Main Street. You know, it was built in 1900s. It was, you know, one of the... Good old Victorian house.

Yeah, I mean, it's just beautiful inside. But right in downtown, you know, you know, small town America. And you're like, man, that's a nice place. I get listings like that for... Could you live right downtown in a small town? Like, could you live like two blocks off of Main Street in Moorsville? And even if it was in like an old nice, renovated... home? I could. Yeah. Like I wouldn't, I wouldn't know what that experience is like. I've always lived

down at the end of a road. I know you've always lived in a neighborhood. I've always lived out in the country. I would probably prefer to live a little bit far further removed from like two streets over, but yeah, I can easily live downtown. When I was living in the thick of Canapolis, I was too young to remember it, you know. So I don't know what it's like to like live in a true neighborhood where everybody's on half an acre, you know, to stay on this topic longer than we should. I get notifications of old rustic farmhouse in Spain or, you know, and they're out in the middle of nowhere. And it's neat. It's a great spot.

I mean, it's a pretty house, a little tiny swimming pool. And you're like, hmm, could I live there? You know, you really start running through your mind about like, like, hmm, what would it, what would it take? Why would not? Why was holding me back, you know, and. The government. Right? Their government does not want you coming.

No, you're just like, who buys these things? Who does buy these? And, you know, because I'm like there was the guy, there was this guy that got real popular over the summer. Over the summer. He's like a regular dude, worked a job, got a little, went to the doctor and got a little, had a little scare medically and decided I'm not living the way I want to live and sold everything and bought a boat and sailed to Hawaii.

Yeah. You remember him? Yeah, River Phoenix. Or not River Phoenix. Nope, that wasn't in my algorithm. Some Phoenix or whatever is his name. Sailing with Phoenix. So he's like him and his cat or something.

A man had a cat on a boat? Yeah. Dude. And he had, he's like, you know, he's sailed some, he sailed some very simple waters for a little while to learn the boat before he took off, you know. But I mean, he was very much a novice. And he's out on this thing by himself with his little. I suppose he had some Elon Musk internet

and he was you know every day sending in a video of hey this is what's going on today this is what I'm doing I don't know what I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it you know that was basically the vibe of I don't I've never done this before I've never fixed this before I don't know why this is broken but uh or today was an easy day you know

and and so since I started watching him I get all these other hey we just bought a catamaran it was in a hurricane It's damage. It was flipped upside down and we're fixing it. And so I'm like, damn it, I'm kind of like, get drawn into all these. No, don't buy us.

No, no, no. And I'm thinking in my mind, I'm like, I don't want to fix a boat, honey. But I'm thinking in my mind, I'm like, we already did that. Man, I know, but I'm thinking, I'm thinking in my mind like, are we going to get down to the end of this,

of our lives and go, hey, why didn't we buy a house somewhere in the middle of some country and just, you know, and just go. go hang, you know? And like we're locked into this, you know, we're locked into this place we live at and going to these schools and we're like tethered

to like, you know, tethered to what we're doing, right? Tethered to everything. And there's these people out there that you, you're watching. They're like, I'm untethered. I'm going to go do this. You're not wired to be so free. I'm not mentally wired to be free birds like that. ship has probably sailed, no pun intended, but I think I missed, you know.

I don't think I could spend my life with you on a boat with nobody else to talk to. Yeah, I don't mean that rudely. Like, I don't think that you would, you wouldn't thrive like that either. Yeah. And after the kids get out of high school, if you want to buy a chateau in Spain and learn Spanish, let's do that. I see these people that are just like, you know, it's a guy and his new girlfriend or his new a fiancé. And they're like, yeah, we're just, we're just going to build this. fix this boat and that's what we're doing we just saw our old boat we got a new boat we're

staying with some friends over here and it's like man that you know that sounds great in their 20s yes or 30s makes a lot of sense but it sounds really nice you know they're just kind of like yeah we're just on this island somewhere in the Caribbean just being just doing Caribbean just being yeah I'm like man damn it yeah you were racing I missed that opportunity I guess in my 20s and 30s Of course, I was tethered to a lot of things then, too, but with racing and such. Life is good. You see those and you're like, hmm, this meant to make, am I supposed to be jealous? Because I'm feeling jealous.

Yes, that's what the internet. All the internet does that. Everybody's posting like their good moments. Nobody's posting the shit ones. I know, yeah, right. Where's the video when they got stuck? There's the common sense. You know what I mean?

Like, when all the shit was full, you know what I mean? And they're in the middle of the ocean. Like, what are you doing when it's really, they're not posting that stuff? Yeah. You know? Yeah. I don't think that it's worth me. I don't know.

I guess I just should enjoy just watching someone else do it. He doesn't know how to do that. Watch someone else live my dream. Hey, Alex, speaking of young girls, you have a new girlfriend. Do we talk about her? Can we talk about it, yeah. Dalton's like, whoa, wait, is this allowed? Dale is like daydreaming over here about being young again and having a new girlfriend where you can go sailing.

I did not say I wanted a new girlfriend. Wait a minute. Don't get that going. Let's just talk about your girlfriend. Okay. Okay. So you've got, she's girlfriend now. He's girlfriend, yes.

Okay. How long have you been dating and how did you meet her? I've been probably dating for like three months now. He's twitching. Like I can see is bouncing up and down. How comfortable are you discussing this? On a scale of one to a thousand. That's a big scale.

I know. I don't want to. How are you going to dial that choice in? I'm like 990. Oh, good. Okay. I'm comfortable with it. All right.

We met on a boat. You've been on a boat. I didn't see that. I'm going to come. Okay. We boat. We boat. We went on a boat.

It was like mutual friends. They just ran a, her and her friend randomly came on a boat. Yeah. So, like, my friend had a boat. He invited me. He invited his friend. I didn't know her friend.

She was the friend visiting. in town. She's not from here. Where's she from? She's from Pennsylvania. So you met her here though? Met her here. So you're dating long term. Long distance. Long distance. Long term. You're long term dating. You're distance dating. That's tough. Which it's tough, but it's actually kind of nice. I mean, I'm busy. She's busy. She has her own business. So it's like... Are you all about the same age? Yeah, she's a year or too older than me, but yeah. Ooh. Yeah. So... Okay. So she's like working, doing the whole thing in Pennsylvania. Yeah. And...

Yeah. She's just moved to New Jersey and it's kind of close to my family too. So whenever I can go visit them. I can see her. Have they met? No, I'm going up next week and they're going to meet her. Really? Yeah. Dude, that's a big step. I haven't brought a girl home to my parents in maybe 10 years. Does your mom know she's coming or is this a surprise? Yes, they know. Is she excited? Yeah, they're very excited actually. They told me this year I have to bring a girl home for Thanksgiving or this is like getting pathetic. Or you're out. This is getting pathetic. You don't come back with a plus one. Yeah. You're in trouble. Yeah. Well, that's cute. Yeah. So I'm excited.

I can't wait to see how that goes. Oh, thank you. Yeah. She's good. She's really pretty. I saw her on your Instagram. Thank you. So dating long distance for you is not that big of a deal.

Not right now, but I mean, you guys started long distance too, right? We did. But we didn't have smartphones. Like, this is back when we were doing AOL instant messenger and like, you had to catch them. You know what I mean? So way harder. Way harder. Yeah.

Like we've just started to get into like maybe we, you know, call every night for, you know, an hour or two. So you have a routine. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. which it'll eventually get harder, but for right now it's been all right. Yeah. Do you say I love you yet? No, did not say that yet.

He laughs. He's like, Amy, all right. Cut. No, but you have any advice? What are you doing? Meg funny. Good Lord. You have any advice for me?

Just go, no, no advice. I feel like people that give advice on relationships, especially when they don't know the other person, they're just looking to try to stir shit up. Yeah. I think you're doing. fine. All right.

Just be nice to her. That's all. I think I am. Yeah. Always be honest. Be nice. And take her mother a gift. Jerky.

Okay. That's good advice. And not jerky. Take that to dad, but take something nice. Don't show up empty handed. That's actually good advice. I think that the long distance thing is not a problem at all. Some people get nervous about that.

Some people think, well, some people may preemptively, like, not follow through or see it out a little while, you know, because they're anxious about how that could present a problem down the road. And so they're like, uh, sort of like a defense mechanism. Yeah, I mean, if you're not grounded and you don't have, like, if you get insecure about things, it could be hard. What you'll learn from yourself and, uh, the other person as well to go through with it is probably a good, good experience. Yeah. Wait, we didn't talk about bad bunny. What's the bad thing? All right. So how would you say bad bunny? I say bad bunny. I heard him called the bunny. Bad bunny.

Bad bunny. Bad bunny. Like bad bunny. Don't say the bees. There's no, you can't pronounce the bees. That's how you really say it. Ad honey. What?

Eh, honey. Are you serious? No. That's how it is. Ed. Ad only. Stop it. I swear.

He's Puerto Rican. I ain't doing it. Come on. No. Sorry. Amy trying it. Adoni. There you go.

What? Is that real? He's Puerto Rican. So he's Spanish, so you don't, you don't, like, pronounce the bees. Oh, I'd, like, emphasize the bees. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny.

What is this question? What's something you were scared of as a kid that's ridiculous now that you're older? Oh, yeah. I have one. My dad was alerted to cats, so he would tell me, because I wanted a cat when I was younger, he would be like, they'll rip your face off. So don't. We can't have a cat. And now, looking back, that's the most ridiculous thing ever.

Everybody had cats, and I didn't even think twice. I'm like, oh, they must love getting their face ripped off or something. Like, they must cage it up. Like cats are the devil, they'll tell to eat your face alive while you're sleeping. Yeah, just because he was allergic. Yeah. I have one that kind of could fit in this box. So my mom let, my mom, I remember watching a scary movie when I lived with my mom.

So I had to been six or younger, probably younger than six. And that's the way mom was. Like, you know, go ahead. four-year-old me sit down let's watch some Friday the 13th yeah and I'm like and I'm watching this movie and I'll never forget the plot of the movie these kids are the in one particular segment these kids are riding in the school bus and they drive into a fog and their fingernails turn colors and they turn into zombies they killed people in the town and I thought man I wonder what the name

I mean, so that imprinted on me. Never forgot it. I must have scared to shit at me when I was little. I went and looked for this movie recently, like a couple years back, I finally found this movie. And it is a absolute, like, total, like,

low budget, never, you'd never know the name of it. I don't even know the name of it now, but I looked it up, and it's not, it's called the children. Yes.

And people, I would, you see it, don't? It is, I don't even know if you can even watch it anywhere. Is it even like some, is it even uploaded? There are so many good old movies now that you can find out. It ain't good old.

It ain't good at all. It's not good. Is it? It's on prime. Man, we have to sit down and watch that movie. It would probably be terrible, terrible, terrible. Well, a lot of those are like, they were cheesy, but the gruesome part was scary. I was, I don't know that it was gruesome.

I don't remember it being gruesome, like blood and gore. But it was just like, you know. So the kids like don't eat your faces off like the cats? No, no, I don't think they were doing that. But I really can't remember anything else. But my mom letting us watch a scary movie like that, I think about our girls now and like never. I watched scary movies like that too and I was a little kid.

I know. Like children of the corn. We had cornfields everywhere around town. And when is that going to eventually happen? Someday, somewhere we're going to sit down. They're going to watch a scary movie, whether it's with us or with. with some friends or whatever.

And that's going to be an interesting experience for us, I think. Ila's not as affected by that stuff as Nicole is. Like, Isla chasing Nicole around the house will actually scare Nicole, even though she's antagonizing her and knows it's about to happen. And she knows that Isla chasing her, she starts to scream like she's truly terrified. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Ila, like, thinks it's hilarious. Ila doesn't like to have anything coming after her.

Or Nicole. Nicole doesn't. But Ila doesn't care. Yeah. Not at all. That movie, you know, that maybe would be one. Like, you know, four-year-old me was probably scared to death and didn't sleep for three weeks. And now when I go back and look at that movie, I'm like, what a shit movie, right?

Yeah. I remember thinking that about the lepercon. What's the rotten tomatoes? Did you watch the movie The Leprechaun? Yeah. It was Jennifer Anderson's like breakout roll. I bet it ain't even own rotten tomatoes. What?

The children. The children. I don't know. It might be. They got 5.4 stars on Google. Out of how many? 10. Oh, it's a, is.

76 rotten? Is that good? No. Is it? Really? That's not bad. Oh, that's not bad. Oh, crap.

Maybe I need to watch it. Maybe it's better. The children. I'd never forget it, man. That was like the first movie I ever remember seeing with my, in my mom, let us watch it. Mom was, you know, mom was pretty. She was young. I'm not saying she was flawed.

No, no, no. I'm saying we needed an excuse for her. Like, you grew up with her. Like, I grew up with my parents, but they were young. So, like, they didn't make the choices that we were making now. Yeah. I rode in the back of her car, zero seat mail. No booster.

Rolling around. Eating all kinds of chocolate and candy all the time. And going up to the grocery store and the corner store, like walking six blocks to a convenience store with Kelly by ourselves at five years old. Five. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. Our fix-in segment is brought to by Helman's mayonnaise made with real quality ingredients.

It's a lifesaver in the kitchen. Grab a jar the next time you're out and check out helmans.com for recipes that can fix just about anything you may have going on. Sometimes you mess up really bad and need someone to tell you exactly how to make it right. In this new Fixin's segment, listeners have shared some of their most disastrous moments, and we are going to help them try to figure out how to recover their pain. Yes, yes. I have the first letter that you guys have gotten that you need to fix. All right, first one, this is Dear Amy and Dale, I'm a buffoon.

I can keep forgetting my wedding anniversary year after year. I've been married for five years and have always celebrated the day too early or too late. We got married on June 23rd, which is such a random day and hard to remember. I suggested we change it to June 1st or July 1st for celebration reasons. It's easy to remember and no one will be disappointed. I've been sleeping on the couch for a week since I said this. How do I fix this? Lord of mercy.

Yes, you are a buffoon. Put a damn alert in your phone. I mean, it's pretty easy. Yes, put a calendar alert in your phone. Put it on your screensaver on your phone. I don't know. Like, here's my anniversary. your mind just memorizes the number.

I have all those dates in my calendar. Like, I asked Amy to marry me on this date. Me and whatever. Which we don't celebrate all this stuff. It's just so we don't forget. Yeah, but it's also nice to have it there in case I wanted to say on that day, hey, today's a big day, honey. We did this.

And you might go, oh. Great, take the trash out. That's cool that he thought. That's cool that he thinks of that. Yeah. I'm glad that that even matters, you know. So how does he go to? his wife now and be like, hey, does he say

I'm going to start writing this stuff down? What he should say is, you are right, I am a buffoon. I shouldn't have suggested that. How dare I want to change our anniversary just so I can remember it? You're right. I'm going to do something to try to help myself remember, and here's a really nice present for forgetting the last five years.

You get it tattooed if you want on your... Oh. I hear that's like a curse. It's like getting a ring tattooed on your fingers so that you don't have to wear your wedding ring. I don't know. It's got bad energy. Really? Okay. But there's so many things you could do to help yourself remember. Yeah, I agree.

You could get one of, I got these cheap wedding rings, and you could probably get one with the date on it. That's true. You just get it printed on there, a little cheap wedding ring. Yeah. This seems like a lazy, just doesn't want to learn what he. I feel bad for this chick. Yeah, five years hasn't figured it out.

I mean, but she should have no matter, I guess, right? Yeah, I agree. Let him sleep on the couch as long as you want. What's this guy's name? Anonymous. No, no, no, no. Let's give him a name. Oh.

What would his, it's got, it sounds like a Derek. A Derek. Derek, okay. I was going to say Stephen. I was going to say like. I don't know. Stephen sounds like he'd be more put together. This is definitely a Derek.

Could be a Chad. Definitely a Chad. Definitely a Chad. All right, Chad. I hope that helps. Get off the couch. All right. The next one, Amy.

My husband also makes a lot of noise when he comes to bed. So I've instituted a curfew on the latest he can come to bed. Otherwise, he sleeps on the couch. or in the guest bedroom. Well, that's backfired because now all he does is sleep on the couch or in the guest bedroom, and he's been in the best mood the past few weeks since I've implemented the curfew. How do I fix the problem I created? I don't know.

That's a toughie. So I can't stand it when Dale sleeps on the couch. He did it on Saturday. Yeah. I haven't talked to him since. Today's the first day I've talked to him. I smell like beer. So that's why I did that.

That's stuck. Still annoying. Yeah. I wake up at 4.30 and I'm like, he's not in the bed. Where is he? and I know he hasn't left Like I know he's not gone But I don't like that he didn't come to bed

Yeah Because I'm still waking up anyway Like where is he? Where is he? You know what I mean? Yeah I drank beer all day And I was like

Yeah Probably shouldn't go to the bedroom And because you know It's coming out of a nose Every pore Yeah you smell like beer Yeah I didn't I thought it would be more annoying

If I'd laid in the bed with her than to just crash on the couch. I don't think there was a whole lot of thought there. Honestly, I think he just crashed on the couch because he had been drinking beer all day. But either way, I don't like it when he didn't come to bed. So I can understand now she's like, well, now he's on the couch and having time of his life.

Yeah. Here's what I'm going to say. Giving a man or anybody that you like a list of rules as their spouse or like a friend is not a good idea. Yeah. Like there needs to be a discussion about it, like a friendly discussion. like hey here here's what I here are expectations here's what I'd prefer but because there needs to be like a

meeting of the minds instead of somebody laying down the law like that's not going to work I wouldn't want to be told what to do he ain't going to be wanted to tell what to do just doesn't work somebody is like resenting the other person you know what I'd agree with that I don't know now that he's now he's on the couch I would so Amy came to me and said Saturday night of side. Amy came to me and said, I don't like it when you sleep on the couch. And I'm like, okay, here's the reasons why I do that. And she goes, that don't bother me. Come on up to bed. It hurts my feelings. Yeah. And so. You know what I mean? Like somebody is not sleeping on the couch unless somebody else is mad at the other person. And so. And doesn't make me feel good.

And too, like similarly, you know, I'd brush my teeth downstairs because I didn't want to be brushing them next to the, you know, bedroom and waking her up as I'm coming to bed. That doesn't bother me. brush your teeth upstairs. I'm like, okay. So I mean, like, to Amy's point, like having the conversation with him and saying, hey, I'd rather you not sleep on the couch. Can you please come to bed?

Even if it's late, just come on up. And letting him know that even if it's late, it's still okay to come on up to bed. I'd rather you do that, even if you did wake me up, than to sleep alone, than for them to sleep alone. Yeah.

We're not married to be sleeping alone. What the hell is going on here? So I think if you had, to Amy's point, if you had that conversation, and he'll understand. He just wants the clearance, right? He's doing what he thinks he should be doing to try to not bother.

He just needs the clearance that it's good to come to bed. Not going to be a big deal. I'm not going to be mad. You're up late, all that stuff. Honestly, at this point, it seems like this guy's sleeping on the couch just to make her mad because she gave him rules. I feel like the whole situation is like for tat now. But he knows it's working too.

Yeah. Sounds like a water balloon fight or a water gun, fight might be in order, like shoot him with a water gun and see if he likes the couch now. Yeah, that's a good one. Or freeze the downstairs, so he's like cold. Yeah, ice him out. Yep. Do something.

And hide all the blankets. Yeah. Oh, my God, this next one is insane. There's no way this next one's real. There's no way. Anonymous listener. This is bull. All right, next one.

Dear Amy and Dale, I have identical twin daughters. They just turned four and they look so alike that I have lost track of who's who. My wife says it's easy to tell one has a different smile, but I don't see it. They look the same. I already feel like a horrible dad, so I started marking one with a different color hair tie or bracelet so I could tell. My wife found out I was doing this and she's beyond mad. I can deal with the wife later. How do I fix knowing who's who?

Good Lord. I know. I kind of understand what he's coming from, though. I mean, they're four, so they are pretty small. Yeah. Like, their personalities haven't even really totally come out yet. That's what I'm saying. I think it should get easier.

Is that your point? So wait it out? I feel like the hair tie thing is pretty clever. Right. I mean, I also understand his wife being annoyed that he can't tell them apart. But it sounds like he's spending enough time with them to do their hair. I don't know. Usually, like, if you can't tell your kids apart is because you're not really hanging out with them very often.

Yeah. But it sounds like he is. My fear is he's gotten too far down the road of not knowing that he just doesn't know which ones. He doesn't have a baseline yet. They're never going to know. Yeah. I don't know. This can work in favor for the girls.

They're going to know. They're never going to know. They're going to know. They're going to know. They're going to know. I feel like the girls are going to get older and use that to their advantage to trick their parents, especially him. Shoot, yeah. Wouldn't that be cool?

So I don't know if this is such a bad thing for them. I knew twins in high school that they went to each other's classes. It was a movie like a bunch, yeah. And they never got fooled. Yeah, parent trap's another one, yeah. I don't know, that's weird. But listen, I've never seen two identical twins that were so alike that they couldn't be told apart, even like friends, kids. This poor guy just doesn't pay enough attention.

Yeah. I think there's something too, like, their personality needs to develop a little bit, which will happen soon, and then you'll know. It'll get easier. It will. Yeah. I agree. They're in this sort of weird phase right now where they probably are as similar to the other be.

I mean, pay attention to what they like to eat unless surely there's not, they don't do everything exactly the same besides their smile. Like, kids aren't walking around smiling all day either, right? I know it probably wouldn't have been awesome in the first couple of years, but, man, wouldn't twins be something of an experience? Yeah, that'd be a mind for you. You know, five, seven, ten-year-old twins, wouldn't that be an experience? Sure. I thought for sure there was going to be something else to that. I just think it would be, I don't know.

I don't want to say it'd be neat. I just think, you know, as a parent, knowing what I know about parenting, what limited things I do know about parenting, man, having twins all in the house. Two similar-looking people. Yeah. That would be an experience. So fraternals, I don't know if it's the same for fraternal twins. and identical twins,

but their personalities are usually kind of different. Like, I like goes to dance with a set of twins that she had in her preschool course class. But to this guy's point, like some are like ridiculously the same.

Yeah. Like so, so, so similar, it's eerie. Yeah. I've not been around twins like that. You know,

every set of twins I've ever been around. I even grew up with two identical twins down the street. They have personality difference that were obvious. Yeah. So, I don't know.

Hopefully it does get easier for this guy. Yeah, good luck. Well, the fixing segment was brought you by Helmonds. We've got a shout out a real MVP in the kitchen and in life.

Hi guys, Dale Jr. and I are in the studio for another round of bless your heart, and we are ready for your questions for asking me.

What you got? All right. Erica, first question she wants to know they just announced this year's Super Bowl halftime performer, and it made me want to know what was your first. favorite Super Bowl halftime performance of all time, and who would you want to see perform? It's Bad Bunny? It's Bad Bunny. Say it.

E'Ne. We just learned today that we're saying Bad Bunny wrong because we are. I don't know how to say it to begin with. He still won't try either. My favorite performance was... Prince was pretty good. Prince was amazing. A couple years back.

Yeah. I really liked Beyonce. Yeah. That was a good one. I also really liked the Aerosmith, Britney Spears. Was it Justin Timber then, too? With Janet Jackson? Was that that that year?

I don't think that was the same year. That was just J.T. and Janet when the titty happened. Yeah. The delay. Yeah. 2004. I think mine was Aerosmith-Pritney thing. That was really fun.

The one they did in L.A. with like Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre. That was a recent. That one was pretty cool, too. All the star power there. Would you guys listen to Bad Bunny? Yeah, sure. I don't know. Kendrick last year, right?

Oh, Kent. Yes. That was pretty good. His genes are what we noticed more than anything. Yeah. And one of the Williams sisters. Serena, I think. Serena, yeah.

And there's like a storyline to that. That was pretty interesting. The, which I don't know. None of, none of it. Until that happened. Then you're like, oh, okay. There's like a little hidden message and everything. The, I don't know who I would want to play because I don't know, man.

It's like I got to get up and move around. and... What? Like, I don't... You don't have to do anything. You just have to sit in. No, I gotta go get the... I don't know.

It's like the break from the game he's saying. I know, I don't plug in to the... I don't plug into the halftime show. Like, I think some people, like, that's a big moment for the... Yeah, so a lot of people are caring about football. They just want to watch the concert. I know. I'm the football.

I'm caring about the football. And when the football's not happening, that's when I'm like, all right, time to go. Well, for me, it just depends on the teams that are playing. Like, if there's good teams or teams that I'm interested in, I'll watch the whole thing. I used to not get up during the commercials and be like, man, got to see every commercial. The commercials are good. Yeah. They're going to grade the commercials and we're going to read about them in the USA Today tomorrow and who got the best rating and like who failed.

Who whose commercials sucked and who was great. And, you know, it was very competitive. Yeah. I always remember wanting to see the Clydesdale's and whatever Budweiser commercial was happening. Yeah. Yeah. I think Budweiser, they used to do the Bud Bowl with Bud Light and the Budweiser bottles. And man, I was a young.

I guess I was a kid. No, you weren't. That was amazing. I was as excited to see which side was going to win the Bud Bowl as the game itself. Like I couldn't wait for the next little Bud Bowl to learn who scored, right? And what had happened. Do you remember the Budweiser frogs? Yes.

Oh, yeah. Budweiser there for a while was absolutely killing it. Yeah. And every year they would unveil like the Budweiser frogs and that would be the that would be the commercial of the year. And remember those those dudes answering the phone? It was a, you know, doing all that. I mean, that, everybody was doing that.

Yeah, all of us were doing that. Yeah. You know, me and my two sisters were the Budweiser. We would do the Budweiser fog thing in the house just all the time. I miss commercials like having that much of an impact. Yeah. You know? I feel like those were more fun than the halftime show typically anyway.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I can't think of who I would probably like. I want to see country artists. I know that's like never going to happen. I would like to see... Like the red clay strays. Yeah, that's good.

Like something, like, let's mix it up. I think a bunch of different bands. So like red clay strays comes out and plays a song, right? Blink 182 comes out and plays a song. You know, get, you know, and you could have... I want to mash it up, though. Like, I want to layer it where it like blends one into the next one. I think, you know, you have like three or four different stages all out there at once.

And they just kind of like, Bam, bam, bam, bam, over. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's happy. Yeah. I think getting the up and coming artists is a great move because I know the NFL, they, it's, we use as more, they don't make money off this, the artist.

They've used as like exposure, so it probably should try to attack the middle. I'm sure. I imagine, you know, there's probably some money on the back end of like the ownership money. Well, the performer coming in, it could be some, there could be some record label money coming in just to purchase. just the halftime show for that person to come play. But that wouldn't make sense because like, you know, Prince playing it. Probably they just called Prince said, please, will you play this? You know? So I heard Taylor Swift turned it down because she wasn't going to have ownership rights to her performance. So there is some type of ownership back in something that happens. Yeah.

It is interesting. Next question from Dave. What are some things that you could only get in Texas, Amy, that you miss from time to time? Waterburger might come on. Well, I would say Waterburger, but I'm about to get that in Mooresville. I know. Honestly, the barbecue is so much different there. There are some places that do brisket around here, but the barbecue back home is just next level. I need to cook you a brisket.

I haven't done that in a while. Yeah, get the smoker out. Yeah. That'd be good. Throw a couple chickens on there. I've been feeling it. Might do it. Perfect weather.

It is perfect weather. I miss Mexican food too. Yeah, it's different down there. Tex-Mex is just so good. Yeah. And I mean, I grew up eating breakfast tacos regularly. Oh. And I miss that.

Like homemade toilet. tortillas just full of stuff. I can't even picture that. It's delicious. Yeah. So I probably miss that more than anything. The food. Okay.

Interesting. Next one from Danielle. With it officially being fall, what is your favorite comfort food? Soup. Soup, really? I like putting a pot of soup on, like just clean out the fridge kind of thing.

There's a few recipes that Dale and I both really like. I don't know. I'm in that weird phase of life with the kids being, at their ages, like they're not eating what we're eating. So like if I cook soup and Dale and I don't want to eat it for four days straight, you know what I mean? That's kind of hard. I have to stick it in the freezer.

So Dale is like not getting much homemade food these days. But I like to cook soups when it's cool outside. Sues. Okay. Yeah, you have a favorite comfort food? I really, I don't think so. Do I? I don't think so.

Comfort food? Yeah. No, he'll you whatever. Yeah. Pickles and beef jerky. Beef jerky. I would go get like candy Like sour patch kids or something

Really? Yeah Just like a watch and teeth Jerky That's a good comfort food I feel like it's snack food But like for this time of year? Get me on the screen

There we are Anytime of year See this here You weren't saying right now You're saying anytime We have anytime yeah Oh We have some beef jerky

And you can get this At jerkyboys.com Or on Amazon now We're on Amazon too That's good Come and get it I will say for the fall like sweets, like pie, brownies.

I feel like that's... I like them more in the fall. I do too. When it's fresh and warm. If I open up the fridge and I see an ice cream bucket, I open it. And if there's like a little bit left in the bottom, it's like my obligation to finish it. So the reason there's only a little bit left in the bottom anyway is because he's eaten all the other sections. Because I've been eating on it for two weeks.

But if I see just a little bit left, I'm like, I should just finish this, get this. This is taking up too much space in here. Yeah. And it relieves some space in the way. the freezer and that's a good thing right yeah yeah that's a job well done that's right next question from calvin how early is too early to carve pumpkins my girlfriend wants to do it now but i think we should wait till Halloween week so they can be on the porch for trick or treaters yeah so that's a good question we like to carve them early too just for the activity but they brought so fast

like you're gonna you're gonna be carving them again the week of Halloween our front porch too is like in the sun so that's probably part of that problem but yeah um i think i would get the pumpkins and leave the pumpkins out and then carve them the week of Halloween, like you suggest, because they will rat. Yeah. Going to get the pumpkins is probably the most irritating thing. So you might as well just do that now.

Because they're heavy? It's not packed. Well, as a guy, I don't want to go to a pumpkin patch with little snotty kids just because my girlfriend wants this. Whoa. To be honest. Not to be honest,

but yeah. It's been a rough second half of the show. You have been a rough second half the show for Tiffany here. Oh. I think she'd be on board. There's a bar that needs to be drank at, and we need to get to that bar first. Oh, so you're going to go to the farmer's market where they have cider over here, and she gets to do the pumpkins, and you'll be over here, except for when she needs help carrying them to the car. Yeah, I'll be a gentleman.

I'll carry it. I'll get the wagon. I'll get the wagon. Yeah, I mean, I want to carve the pumpkin later. So this is a good parley question. Travis told me the other day that he thinks hikes are stupid and that no man on the planet wants to go on a hike. and I said, well, you guys as species then are uninvited. It sounds like.

And so I want to ask you, like, if she wants to take you hiking, like, we've gone on little hikes, but I'd take in the girls more than I'd taken Dale along, just because he's busy. Is it because you're doing it for me? What? Me? Like, if you go on a hike. No, I need to burn some calories, drop some LBs.

You're doing it strictly for exercise activity. So, like, do you think hikes are stupid? No, I would do the same thing. I don't think I've ever gone to hike that I've ever gone to hike that I'm. I didn't bring a beer to celebrate the top with. That's what I normally do. We need to get, we need to get Travis. You can get a camelback and put beer in it.

No, no, no. I just saw this on the internet. We need to get Travis. They have these things they make in, in, uh, either Japan, China, somewhere. I saw it. Where everything's made. No, no, no.

They have these things where you, it's a, you strap it around your waist and you strap it around your knees and it actually walks for you. And it, yeah, it's like, it's like, it's like, AI kind of learning your yeah and the guys this guy he's like hey I'm they have these things like help you walk run hike whatever I'm going to go in this store they said I could try it for free and he goes in there and they're like the guy's like it's it's insane you're not going to believe when you put it on he puts it on he's like and he's going he's going across the floor and

he's like I'm not doing anything I'm going this way you know and he's like uh and he goes and he he gives outside and he he tells you the guy's like put it on super strength or whatever he's like put it on the highest setting and the guy's like okay but be careful he's like be careful this is and he's like can I run he's like yes but like carefully and he takes off running down the street and he's like holy macro he's like running and this thing's doing it for him does it hurt your muscles I don't think so he seemed very comfortable does he have a remote in his hand yes it's slow and it's doing it in himself it's buttons on the waist oh shi waste it's like a big belt then there's these metal arms

and then it straps around your knee and that that goes, you know, that seems so dangerous. It's assisted, really. What if you have the wrong button and hit turbo? Have you ever, have you ever, you know the assisted mowers?

Like, you know, they still creep me out. There's one of the head here. That's similar to what this is. Like you start the motion, it's kind of like pedaling an electric bike. You start the motion and all of a sudden it gets easier and it starts helping you.

I mean, you're still moving, doing some movements, but that's what we need, Travis. He'll love hiking. So Travis needs a walking leg set. Yeah,

Travis will be like, and a camelback. Travis will try that and be like, I'm ready for Everest. I'm ready for Everest. That's it. That's it. 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 swap with Dale. I want to see what it's like to just,

you know, do whatever. Yeah. Sleep on the couch. 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 terrifying. 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? 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. I put all the jewels on. All the jewels. All at once. Yeah. I would take like a bird. A bird?

Yeah, just fly around and see what I do. What are we doing? I just want to see what I do. You're just a bird. You said anyone. Yeah. You're picking it things on the ground.

Is this food? It's not food? I would do that. 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 wherever you want. Yep, that's food. Okay. Well, it'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 swabbed places with like a bird and die. All right. Now you're dail. Now you're just dail again. That was Bob. That wasn't me.

Are you a bird of prey at least? I thought I was just thinking a bird that flies. I wasn't being picky. He wasn't being picky. It might be a seagull. It might be a crow. I don't know. Oh, my God.

Nothing, Dale. You just wants to be Dale. Me? I would probably want to be, I'd probably want to be something, somebody that was adventurous. 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 and go do that out, you know, out in the open ocean with the dangers that all that presents. But, uh, 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 them, one of those mountains and the, uh, yeah. So you could probably do that if you just trained for it. Uh, that's it. But he can't be a bird. No. 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. Okay. I don't want to go through the process of becoming good at it. Oh, you're a lazy Everest climber. We were asked who we'd swap lies with. Now on the lazy SMB. I said Everest climber.

I never said SOB. Oh, okay. Next question. All right. I have one more question for you from Anna. what's the funniest nickname you've ever had as someone's called you my dad used to call me booger bugger do you yeah that's coming back yeah he used to call me booger do you remember why it wasn't a bunch of the nerds what was the 80s movie why did they call you booger and he

burped a lot oh the revenge of the nerds was it revenge of the nerds yeah yeah revenge of the nerds yeah so yeah he was yeah so he was one of his favorite movies and he laughed like those guys in the Revenge of the Nerders. That's how my dad laughed watching TV. What a great movie series. Avenger the Nerds is so good. I was Hammerhead. So dad was Ironhead and they called me Hammerhead.

Junebug, which still sticks around every now and then. That was from Darrell Walter. Thank you. That goodness. I don't know. Do you have any more? I feel like Junebug is probably, though. Yeah.

Just because as you grow up, that's not cute anymore. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't cute. He gave it to me in like 2000. So like I was grown up. I was assuming you were like 10. I never was a Junebug until Darrell Waltzop decided to say that on national television and a race broadcast.

Oh. Yeah. A grown man. Yeah. I didn't know that. I don't, maybe dad said it every now and then. I don't remember it being a thing. Oh.

They didn't say to your face. they said it when you were not around on TV. Little Lee. Do you like that one? Little E. I didn't really love it. You didn't love it? Uh-uh.

And so, you know, I didn't love it, and I blamed Dad. Like, I held resentment against Dad for it. I don't want to be little. Dad, in some, probably let's just say like 96 or 7, he starts wearing these hats with this capital E on it. And he was not that kind of person. He didn't walk around with his name. on his, you know, he didn't walk around like,

look, this is me, check me out. But he starts walking around. He wore, he tried to wear hats that he's trying to sell. And so he often wore hats that you can buy off his souvenir rig. Well, somebody said, hey, we're going to make these hats with his capital E on it. And he starts wearing that thing around for like three or four days. And I was getting called Little E a lot. And they called him Biggie.

They did. He would come around. they go, where's Big E? There's Little E. Where's Big E? It's Big E here? Listen, I think that's pretty normal. Yeah, but then he started wearing that hat and I was like, Big E go. What? Big Ego. Oh, yeah.

Big Ego. It's like not Big E go anymore. It's just big ego. So for you as a turnoff. Yeah. I was like, dude, that ain't it. That ain't it. And it didn't make it. That hat did not last long. You must have shared. I was like, man. The sentiment with a bunch of fans.

Yeah. Yeah, so, no Little Lee. No, little E. Okay. Well, I think it's a good place to stop Ask Amy. All right. Thank you guys for your questions. Please make sure to hit the subscribe button if you haven't already.
