Starting point is 00:00:20 Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I are still at the beach. So we're doing a little remote show for you guys. Let's get started. Your eyebrows out of control, man. Yeah. You're like staring at me
Starting point is 00:00:38 It's got caterpillars Dude when you get When you get to a certain age Everything just starts growing faster Dude I've got I've got bushy eyebrows I'm well aware Yeah but are you trim yours? No I kind of just like pluck at them
Starting point is 00:00:56 Yeah really you pull them out Just pull some hairs out or like when I go get a haircut I'll just ask you the comels kind of The barber doesn't do that anymore. I'm sick and tired of like cutting. Cutting hair. Cutting hair. And pulling in.
Starting point is 00:01:13 And like, you know, walking around all day and then you get home and you look in the mirror and you've got like an inch long hair off your ear. And you're like, I've walked around all day with that and a hair sticking out your nose or some shit. Yeah. Half the time he's not picking his nose. He's literally trying to get the hair out of his nose or he's just poking them back up in there. So they're not hanging out. looks like I'm picking my nose. I'm just trying to get nose hairs out of there.
Starting point is 00:01:38 They tickle like crazy. The worst is like, I'm usually like, you know, clean shave and then like I'll miss a couple and it'll, they'll stick out like a sore thumb throughout the day.
Starting point is 00:01:47 I've even taken scissors at work and try to just like really? Yeah. It's like, hopefully it's like a couple. Not the community scissors. I mean,
Starting point is 00:01:56 I feel like they're probably community scissors. They're from dogs. They're from dogs. Oh, boy. Oh, that's funny. All right, so the drink of the week, basically when we're in the studio, awesome, Morgan Overstreet makes us a bad to the bone cocktail. She should open up her own company. She should.
Starting point is 00:02:15 She comes up with all kinds of great ideas, but we're on, we're at the beach house. And my idea is a red bull and blacker. We're lazy and we like it simple. Yeah, every day. So, sujotchi lime. Subdachi lime. It's so good. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:02:29 The best drinks are just simple, like one or two ingredients. Yeah. When you overdo it, A, it's too hard to replicate it if you don't have a recipe. Man, we have. They're never the same. We've had a fun, fun week. It's been a fun week. Amy comes down here in the summer.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Sometimes one time, one year she came down here for the entire summer. The whole time the kids were out of school, it was amazing. Yeah, when they were little and didn't have any activities, it was like beginning of June all the way through August. I had finally, when she decided she was going to come down here for the whole summer, I felt like I had finally made it. Why? I was like, I have, this is everything that I've worked for. My wife leaves me for two months in the summer and I get to have the house all to myself.
Starting point is 00:03:16 No, this is the best. No, I'm going to be at the beach house with my family all summer. Like I have worked my tail off to get this vacation house and now I'm going to be there the entire summer. I mean, I felt like I had checked the big. box. Yeah, I always thought it was a cool thing when people say, like, we summer in the Hamptons, or we summer in Michigan, or like, they have like a summer house. Yeah. If you're hearing some noises, they're paving the street. We have talked and talked about the street being a problem. They're finally fixing it. They're just giant wheel, steel wheel,
Starting point is 00:03:54 looks like a steam roller, yeah. And it shapes and vibrates, and it packs the dirt so they can come in there and lay the asphalt. It's also like being on a shake plate, though, inside the house. The entire house is shaking. Yeah. We're going to keep digging. But if our cheeks start wiggling, that's why. Nose hairs are tickling.
Starting point is 00:04:14 It's not because they're long. He was shaking right out of his face. They're coming right out on their own. How much do you, you guys used to have the Key West house. Are you kind of like happy that you end up selling it? Because I feel like you use this house more and it's you're able to more. more convenient. It's more convenient because we can drive to it and the Key West house was old and had a lot of issues, the wiring and everything about the house was 100 years old. So it was
Starting point is 00:04:43 kind of like a money pit, always needing repairs, always needing something fixed. It needed a lot of love. Every time we went down, we had to work on a project, the air conditioning maybe, or like it wasn't something small. It was something rather large. So it was a labor of love, but we wanted something we could drive to and that was a lot closer. And Charleston is amazing. So Sullivan's Island just felt smart. We love it here. No, I used to race at Myrtle Beach, and so all of these little towns around here, I'm familiar with Monk's Corner and Savannah, because all the guys that raced at the beach with me in the 90s are from these towns.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Sorry. And so I don't know that I never spent a ton of time down here outside of just racing at the beach and racing in Somerville and places like that. But it just feels like I know it, you know. And so it's not, it's a, it's comfortable, I suppose. Mount Pleasant's a nice area. Obviously, Charleston, a lot of people come down here for Charleston. Charleston's insane, fun, lots to do.
Starting point is 00:05:44 There's so many good restaurants too. Like, you really can't screw that up. There really are so many good places to eat. Al Palm, Folly Beach, all these different places to go, do stuff. There's restaurants galore. We'll never eat at every single cool restaurant that's on some riverway or. Yeah, I have a growing list and we'll just, yeah, keep chipping away. But they keep adding new things and the chefs will start a restaurant and then it'll get it rolling and then they'll move and do another things.
Starting point is 00:06:07 So like you're always kind of chasing these really cool chefs that are in Charleston too. Yeah. But we have lots of fun here. It's pretty cool. We, um, we have. I took the girls into town yesterday at a brunch. We wanted to just get in town for at least one day. The majors are in town this week hanging out with us.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Then we have like an annual Fourth of July. We're on a round. right now. He's making a big pass. He's showing off. He's coming right by the building here, right beside us. He's like the Earnhardt's tape on Thursdays. I'm going to get them.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Well, we got a big development. Well, I want to get to. Look, let me start with my part of it because that's how about it. Yes. So speaking of nice things to do around here, we love going into Charleston to eat. And so we had the majors in town this week. They always come in town for the Fourth of July. It's kind of an annual trip.
Starting point is 00:06:59 We do the golf cart parade and everything together. all the girls have matching outfits, everybody gets dressed up. The boys went to the racetrack this year over the weekend, and so we got to do that by ourselves. And we got to use the club car, which was awesome. I get so many, like, cat calls almost when I drive that thing around. On the club car? On the club car?
Starting point is 00:07:17 Just because it's like a little party bus. We're trying out a new golf cart, the club car crew. Crew, yeah. And if we like it, we probably may get it. I still have my old golf cart. it's still doing fine. But I think you need to get this one. I submit that we will be keeping it.
Starting point is 00:07:37 It is really awesome. And the girls are obsessed with it. And everywhere we go, someone's like, wow, I've not seen one of those. How does it ride? Even when we parked at it for the parade, all of the other dads were coming over to go on like, this is really cool. How does this work? How does this function?
Starting point is 00:07:51 And so it's a lot of fun. And the battery lasts forever. So I love the club car crew. It's been fun for us. But I figure we'll probably get it once we. you're going to break a lot of ladies' hearts if you get rid of it. I'll say that. Three in particular.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Three in particular. A lot of little girls. Yeah. The three most important. Right. Yeah. And me. He forgot me.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Anyway, so they've been in town this week and the girls wanted to go in to see the aquarium and do the city market. So I made brunch plans. And you got to take advantage of getting into town and eating as well. So the boys had their podcast and they were going to meet us for brunch. We are headed to Pugan's Forge. after the aquarium and I get a call from Dale and he's like, I got bad news. And I thought for sure, there's like a 50% chance anyway. They're going to try to get out of going to brunch coming all the way into town just to meet
Starting point is 00:08:40 us for food. But like when he said he had car trouble, I was like, man, this guy will just do up, do just about anything to get out of brunching with us and coming into town. But unfortunately, he did actually have some issues with the car and had his own little adventure yesterday. Just like the golf car. I'm trying to cut corners on some expenses here and there. And this, so we get this house down at the beach and it's the, the elements down here are terrible.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Yeah. Most everything outside gives beat up pretty fast. Yeah, everything around the house, the house itself. I mean, we're always kind of having to tinker and there's something that might go bad because it goes bad, it goes bad quicker. Like the ice machine motor, like the pumps and the ice machine. It's just out of the elements. It's just going to struggle to have a, you know, have a traditional lifespan. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And I've had to, to her point, I've had to replace motors and gizmos and pumps and all kinds of things. The girls' bikes even rest up. Yeah. Turn the wheels. Just constantly having to kind of keep on top of stuff to make sure things are always working. And we, you know, even outlets, I've had to. replaced two outlets just on this trip that wanted to pull the GFI that quit working and then another one over by the irrigation that quit working they just go bad yeah yeah and so same thing with
Starting point is 00:10:07 the golf cart same thing with our vehicle we keep a vehicle down here i'm not going to buy a nice expensive car and leave it parked for weeks at a time at the airport or at the house here to sit and rest and man i mean i got the oldest mile at most mile out traverse I could find that just get the cheapest car I could buy. It was available right then. So we just found it. Get it right. Whatever. Grab the car. So we bring a thing down here.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And it's been great. We've had it for five or six years and it does everything we need. Every time we've come down here, it's cranked, it's ran. It takes us everywhere we go. But it does sit for months at a time. Months. And sometimes we would go out there to the, you know, to the airport and the battery might be dead or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:52 But those were the things that you were going to have to deal with. with any car. Just driving down the road with TJ, it just decided to break. So the transmission you know, drive didn't work anymore. Reverse was fine, neutral, all those good things, but it wouldn't go into drive. And it wouldn't shift. It would stay in first gear. So we pull over. And I'm like, man, I'm thinking I'm going to turn this car off, give it a minute, reset, it's going to be fine. We'll figure it out. We'll get home. T.J. is with me. We call. And better T.J. than me, because this would have been a stressful. if we had the kids and all that was so hot yesterday.
Starting point is 00:11:27 We are looking, all right, dang, there's a Chevy store nine-tenths of a mile away. We called the service department at the Chevy store. Kelly answers. Kelly is fantastic. She says, hey, what's going on? Well, we broke down. We're just only a mile away. She's like, I got a tow service.
Starting point is 00:11:45 It'll bring you here. They'll be there in 20 minutes. Toe truck pulls up 20 minutes later, flatbed truck, awesome dude. I think his name. I got his name in my phone but me and him talked a couple times we get in the tow truck with him he clears out the front bench seat
Starting point is 00:12:03 in the tow truck so it's I don't know if that's really the way it's supposed to work out like he's not supposed to take you too he just takes the car I've had tow trucks take me places before too Kelly said Kelly didn't know who we were from Adam and she's like TJ's like hey can we grab the tow guy
Starting point is 00:12:17 and she's like he might let you do that so we ask him he's like yeah I've moved some stuff around we'll get in there it's only we're only going a mile And so we get the car up on the flatbed. We jump in the truck. We drive down to the dealership. We, he drops us off at the service department. He says, going in there.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Kelly's in there. We get out, walk in there. And she's like, hey, he's going to take the car to the back and get it, you know, diagnose it. Get it into the system. Yeah. She's like, what's doing? I told her what was wrong.
Starting point is 00:12:50 And she's like, okay. Well, we're going to get to it. We'll let you know. And I was like, so I never really, I didn't know what the process was going to do. Right. So I'm like, this is his first time going through this type of experience. Do I need to put a car down? You know, do you need something?
Starting point is 00:13:07 She's like, I got your car. I'm like, deal, they've got your car. They've got collateral. Yeah. She's like, I'm going to take care of your car. And when we find out what's wrong with it, I'll call you. You approve the fix and we're going to charge you for it. And so I'm like, all right, we're good.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I mean, it was so easy. I couldn't believe it. I wasn't there five minutes. They were like, we got, she's like, I got you in the system. You're good to go. And we called an Uber and it was too late to make our lunch, so we Uber back home. She calls me the next day and she says, Mr. Earnhard, I got an update on the car. So I called her back.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I said, Kelly, I heard you had an update on my car. She goes, yep, she goes, transmission's broke. She goes, you're going to have to have a new one. And I said, well, all right. I know what I pay for the car. She tells me what the cost of the fix will be. And I've decided that even if I do fix this car, I'm going to get another one. I'm going to sell.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I'm going to trade this in. I'm going to get a new traverse. And so I'll tell her that. I said, hey, you know, I'm not interested in fixing the car for me. I honestly just would probably pay it to fix the trade in. But I'm not even going to do that. Maybe you guys can give me an assessment of value the car as is. And we will, we're going to buy a new.
Starting point is 00:14:21 car from you, Kelly. She's like, all right, I'm going to connect you to the sales. And so Chris from sales calls me. He's like, hey, heard you want to buy a car. I'm like, I do. I was like, I got that 17 model. I want to trade in, whatever you'll give me for it. And I'm ready for another traverse.
Starting point is 00:14:39 We're just going to get a low mileage, 23, 24 model. We've already picked it out. They got a car at another store that they're going to have brought up, and we're going to be in a newer traverse. next week. So I'm going to go over there in a couple of days to settle the paperwork
Starting point is 00:14:56 to be able to do the purchase and it couldn't have been easier. And so, you know, I sent that tweet out on social media about the car breaking,
Starting point is 00:15:09 but I probably should have told you the rest of the story, but I was trying to tease it for this podcast because I knew what I was going to do. I knew that I was going to, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:20 I'm a shit. new car. Yeah, I'm Chevy through and three. We're just going to get another Chevy. But I'll be honest, I probably didn't keep up with the service on this car as well as I should have. And I think I smoked the transmission fluid and that's why it broke. But I'll do a better job on the next one. I'm a service mechanic from back in the day.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I should know better. Yeah, I mean, the salt, the sand, the wind, the sun. And it's just sitting idle, you know. We've been driving down here a lot more too because we've been bringing us. So we haven't been flying and using the car at the airport. It's been sitting much longer recently than it usually does. Well, we're going to get another one. And I'm excited about that.
Starting point is 00:15:58 We've always, again, they're going to bring the car up here from a different dealership. And I just couldn't believe, I mean, I can believe how simple it is. But I was thinking, honestly, I was thinking I wasn't worried about the car breaking because I had, I knew when I bought this car that I was, that it was old. and somebody had traded it in because they won't, you know, you never know, you know, when you're getting a used vehicle. And so I was just like, you know, it's going to, we're going to have to deal with dead batteries. We're going to have to deal with some quirks and things that the weather
Starting point is 00:16:33 and stuff down here will do to it. But when it broke, I wasn't that bothered by it. I was more bothered by the idea that this was going to be a day-long process. And so I was absolutely incorrect. Toe truck there in a minute. To tow to the store. He drops us off of the service. No problem.
Starting point is 00:17:00 No haggling. No, no, you know, none of that mess. Get out. Talk to Kelly. She's like, all right, you're good to go. Man, okay. I mean, literally, Amy and them had just sat down. When we're leaving, they were still sitting at their table.
Starting point is 00:17:16 They just got in their drinks. And shoot, man, it wasn't nothing. And I've been playing phone tag with these people and I've got another car on the way. So it's super simple. We're going to go in there to do some little quick paperwork Friday, but I couldn't have been, could be happier with the experience in terms of just, you know, finding yourself kind of stuck on the side of the road and now getting into another car. Probably takes longer to get your oil change than that process.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Yeah. I mean, usually. I'm excited because the new Traverse that we're getting has that big gigantic screen on the dash. Oh, those are the best. I love them. And, you know, the old tech, 2017 has just old stock old standard radio head unit. And so we're getting to upgrade there, man. We're going to be like brand new.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Blastence of music. For the record, though, Amy, Dale was like ready to finish the show to go to Brut. So he was actually looking forward to that. Oh, was he? Yeah. We did a show Tuesday. Yeah. He was like, he's like, are we done?
Starting point is 00:18:19 Like, we got to, like, teach and I are going to go meet the girls for brunch. Like, he legitimately was ready to go. Well, usually it takes him a minute ticket. His head wrapped around is he all said that. Like, I got to wrap my head around it. If I have an idea that's not his and like, I made a plan. He like takes him a minute to go, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:36 And then he gets excited about it. Yeah. But yeah, it was fine. We had a little like, we walked through town and looked at an old cemetery and tortured the kids. It was so hot outside. And so we got a little fun in, too. Yeah. It was great.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Well, we're going to get our, we'll get our new traverse next week sometime. Me and her have another little trip plan. So we're going to work all work that around that somehow, some way. But we are having fun down here in South Carolina for the month of July. Hi, y'all. This Jerome and Tiff Davis. Our new weekly podcast is out now on Dirty Moe Rodeo's YouTube channel and podcast platforms. With new episodes every Thursday, leave us a comment and a review and come see what
Starting point is 00:19:20 this cowboy life is all about. Hope y'all come and check us out. Until next time, adios. Do you want to hear about my, uh, I want to know what you did with the pool? So I was over at my friend's house this past weekend and they got this like blowup slide that you put on the side of the pool. It's like like for, you know, four or five, six year olds. Well, we used to have one of those down here. Yeah. And so, you know, I was making pain killers all day long. Are you injured? Not injured per se. It's just one of the best cocktails, a summer cocktail. It's called a painkiller. Oh, I was making. No, are you injured from the slather? But yeah, I was making frozen pain killers. It's not delicious. You got a broke on you on a cast? Let him tell the story. No cast, but so they put their
Starting point is 00:20:09 kids down for nap or quiet time and, you know, drinks were flowing. And so one of the people decided that, you know, hey, let me try to go down the slide. And so I went down a couple times. You know, I'm jumping up and over it and kind of landing on it and going down. Well, the last time I just jumped and like cleared it entirely and dove in. And then I come up and I look at my knees and feet and they hit the bottom and my knees and top of my feet are just bloody. Oh my God. You got road rash in the pool, but your head didn't hit anything?
Starting point is 00:20:38 My head didn't hit. My head. I dove down in my. He porpoised at the bottom of the swimming. pool basically. You be like, do no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:49 So, you know, lesson learned. Don't play with the kids' toys when they're down for nap time. You're lucky. I hit, I've hit my head on the, I dove into the pool and busted my head open on the bottom of the pool. Got lucky there.
Starting point is 00:21:01 He did that back in the day. That's why he was wearing the do rag. It's everybody probably knows it now. Yeah. The next day, my friend Matt was like, man, my neck is sore.
Starting point is 00:21:10 He's like, I don't know why. I go probably because we were jumping over the slide and you probably landed in. Like wild banshee, you can't flash yourself. Oh my gosh. You forget that you're at the stage. You can't do that stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Our kids have not even remembered that we had those blowups. We have a couple of blowups who we can put in the yard, but they're so hard to take down. We haven't even mentioned that we have them just so that they don't ask us to do it. Because they'll plan up for an hour and then they want to take it down. Yeah. And it's so much work. Well, I saw the other day, I wanted to ask you guys, I saw the other day of Joe Ligano, Joey Lugano officiated a wedding,
Starting point is 00:21:45 and I was wondering if any of y'all would officiate a wedding if asked. I don't think anybody's going to ask me to do that. So I'm just going to go ahead and say, I probably am off the hook and no. But I would be too nervous that I would screw up that most important moment in these people's lives at that point. Am I the only one that feels like that? It's, I mean, it's got to be like a minister.
Starting point is 00:22:09 A minister. Like a true pastor or a minister from a church. No, it's actually my brother has officiated wedding and it takes like 10 minutes online to like make it. Yeah, to get ordained. I get all that and I've heard about this and I know. Marty Smith has done a couple of them. Yeah. I know certain people have done them, but I wonder where that got started because I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I've always the first, I remember the first time I heard of that. I mean, it was many, many, many years ago. And I'm like, really? Like not a minister, not a pasture? Yeah, I feel like there's some sense of it's not as legitimate of a union if it wasn't ordained by an actual church efficient. That's my feeling too. And obviously other people feel differently. Yeah, so Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey just got married.
Starting point is 00:22:55 And Adam Sandler was there efficient. Right. Like, what if you're not religious? Like, I don't go to church. Okay. I don't have a pastor, like a preacher that I go to. Yeah, that's a good point. Well, so we didn't either particularly, like we were, we would go to church at St. Mark's Lutheran when we were.
Starting point is 00:23:10 we went, but for the most part, we were at the race track on Sunday, right? So, like, we're not going to church every Sunday. We had Nick Terry from MRO marry us, but he is of the church. You know what I mean? Of the church. He's not, you know, just a comedian or a random friend. Yeah. I mean, I guess I connected to religion, so I just assume that, like, to, you know. Well, it's a religious sanction is a religious union. Otherwise, we're just, you know, hanging out and holding hands. We're not really married, right? I get, I get why you, would ask somebody and it'd be an honor, my friends probably know not to ask me. Because I have to, then you have to take it serious and then I can't partake in any of the
Starting point is 00:23:51 festivities before. And I'd also just be very nervous. I agree. I would be too nervous. I would be an honor to be asked to do it. But you would probably turn it down is what you're saying. Like respectfully, no think you. I don't even know of a good idea.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I would be the same. honored. I would be flattered, but I wouldn't want to do it. Would you do it anyway? No. You wouldn't be like... I would try to find a way out of it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I can see you saying yes because you were so honored in the moment and put on the spot and then go in and like literally like imploding afterwards. I know it. The day of the nerves and the whole thing. I would just be like, I'm wanting to vomit. Yeah. Well, how did Joey do? Who did he marry?
Starting point is 00:24:30 One of his friends? I have to check his Instagram. What do you make of Adam Sandler? Like, that's odd to me. I agree. I don't feel like it's pretty odd. But I also thought it was. It was odd that they decided to get married in Madison Square Garden.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Like out of all of the places they could go, like she could have bought an island somewhere and built her own castle. You know, it's like we're talking. I mean, they could do anything. They did it. And Madison Square Garden is what she shows. That is a big one. Yeah, I thought that was very strange.
Starting point is 00:25:00 And this is you probably, you guys aren't going to like this take. But having a wedding around a holiday to me, I think is dumb. Because you're ruining a weekend for. We had our already have that. I'm aware. Yeah. And we did it because we were kind of tired of doing New Year's Eve, the traditional way. We used to throw New Year's Eve parties as well.
Starting point is 00:25:20 And we're like, this kind of falls in line with that. Plus, it's in the off season, which is always when you get married, if you're bringing in a race car driver, you have to do it. And like, you got one month. And so it was far enough away from Christmas. And everybody's traveling in January. I literally was only a race car driver for another year after we got married. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:38 If we'd awaited like another two years. We could have got married any time of the year. Six months. We could have waited six months. I got married in like an off weekend in June. You couldn't invite it like a lot of the people. Exactly. So he wanted a giant wedding and wanted everyone there.
Starting point is 00:25:52 It was not important to me to have. I wanted a tiny little beach wedding and I was fine with whatever. But I didn't need the big wedding. He was like absolutely not. We're having everybody's going to be here. I'm doing this once. I'm doing it. And so that's why we landed on New Year's Eve.
Starting point is 00:26:06 But it was fun. But I look at it as like the 4th of July. is a fun weekend. Now I get, they're famous and like holidays to them. Like they, but most of the people there don't look at it as like a holiday weekend, Friday off.
Starting point is 00:26:19 But like to me, it's a selfish move by them. It was. I mean, so here's what I'm going to say to you about planning your wedding. When you get into planning a wedding, it is selfish. The whole process is like about you,
Starting point is 00:26:30 which is when you're doing it for yourself for that one wedding, you're like, you're allowed to be. You're allowed to be and you like give yourself that grace. You know what I mean? So they did do it on Friday. and then people could have spent the rest of their weekend doing whatever. But since they were, it was like a lot of buildup and everybody was in New York and you were seeing all that on your phone, Tamla and I both, who she's very much a Swifty where we're like, oh my gosh, is she going to get married on the 254th of July?
Starting point is 00:26:56 Surely she wouldn't do that. Like, why would she want to do that? So it was a fun thing to kind of like just banter about. Back to the New Year's Eve deal. Like I know, I know and agree that it's like, you know, kind of. cliche to get married on a New Year's Eve or a holiday of any kind, really, but New Year's Eve especially. But I didn't care because I had kind of, I think Amy and I both had worked that out of our system, the traditional New Year's Eve celebration. Yeah, we were at the age two or like going
Starting point is 00:27:29 out for New Year's Eve. And yeah, that's on me. Not happening. We had kind of, we kind of ran that. It had ran its course, but I wasn't done partying. So like, I had gotten tired of that particular party, but now I had a new reason to party on the same date. You know what I'm saying? The other thing we're not about it is you get married on New Year's Eve. You always have the excuse to like celebrate or throw a party or you have the excuse to like not participate and go celebrate your anniversary
Starting point is 00:27:58 anywhere you want to. It has come in clutch for like being able to avoid certain parties. You're like, hey man, now that's our anniversary. Yeah. Yep. Sorry, you can't do that. Me and Amy's going to be doing X, Y, Z. I think it was our third anniversary at Amanda and Bubba's wedding, which was fun.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Because, like, you're already in your wedding fields anyway, and you're like, it was a good way to stay. You feel like a couple veterans. Yeah. When you go to a wedding on New Year's Eve. On your own anniversary. On your own anniversary. You're like, yep, we're the OGs in the room.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And now we're positively connected. Yep. Yep. We know all about this. We started this trend. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Speaking of trends, I got a trend.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Ila is perpetually messy with food. I mean, both of the kids are, but Ila, like Nicole will clean her plate up. And when she gets to the sink, she wants to wash the plate. Like she's thinking about the whole process and likes to do that. Ila does not think that way. And she gets that from me partly. She gets that from you partly, I think, because we were both very messy kids. like both of us would hide food underneath the bed
Starting point is 00:29:09 or like we would be lazy enough to like not take our plate back to the kitchen and just hide it under the bed cereal bowls. Drink the juice box, drop it right where you're at. Yeah, yeah. Like crush it. Boom. Juice box.
Starting point is 00:29:20 So I come upstairs that we're in the bar and there's a video game up here. So she'd like to come up and play the touchscreen game. And it's not a problem. So they come up, they have a bag of veggie sticks, those old straw shit things. And I didn't think anything of it when they brought them up here. But when I came up the next morning,
Starting point is 00:29:40 they were displayed everywhere on the couch. And the bag was kind of laid open. And so I came downstairs, I was really mad at her. I was like, listen, I can go up there and play, but you have to clean up after yourself. I told you about this, like,
Starting point is 00:29:51 there's going to be bugs in there. Then we're going to have mice in there. I try to really scare her with this process. And what comes after a mouse, a snake? Lions. And then we're going to have tigers and lions in here. Bears. Bears are being here.
Starting point is 00:30:04 It's a big old problem. And so she comes upstairs and her version of putting it in the trash can was to hide it underneath a baby swaddle that she plays with with her dolls on top of the bar, on top of the bar top. I came up here with Tamla later after I thought she had handled it. And there's this pink swaddle on top of the bar. And I'm like, that's weird. And I pull it up in that bottle, that whole bag of flayed open, like it flayed open, just bag of straws everywhere. And I look at Tamol, I'm like, can you believe that that? That's what she thought putting it away was.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And so here comes Stella and Ila. We were coming upstairs to get a drink for the pool. I'm like, Isla, can you explain to me what your thought process was here? And like, why did you hide this underneath the blanket? Like, why don't you put it in the trash can? And she's like, well, I really just wanted to make sure that they were hidden from Nicole, just in case Nicole came up here. She wouldn't want to eat any of my veggie straws.
Starting point is 00:30:57 I was like, they are stale. They have been sitting out all night. They are gross. And I ask you to put them in the trash can. And Nicole's not even here to defend herself. This has nothing to do with your sister. This thing still got another year. I'm like, they were open.
Starting point is 00:31:10 They were opened and left out. Well, in the meantime of this whole thing, and Tamela's standing there too, she's like, girls, we've got to throw the food away. Stella's like, can I have one? Like, she didn't care at all. I'm like, neither one of these two kids has listened to anything I said about throwing the damn food out.
Starting point is 00:31:30 So we're not, like, we didn't get anywhere. We're not making any games. But I just, I don't even know what to make of that, like her hiding it underneath a blanket. Yeah. Like it was put away. I mean, I am guilty of doing critter things like that as a kid. So at what point does you grow out of it? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Well, we're doing all the right things because we got one child that knows the difference. But with Ala for some reason, it's just not clicking. I'm just hoping one day she just wakes up and just like, you know what? I'm just going to decide to start doing this a little bit better. I guess I need to be a little more tidy in me and myself. I guess brushing my hair is a good idea today. I should probably throw this shit away. Clean.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Now, leave it laying all over the place. But I don't even know if I was allowed to take snacks like to my room. I wasn't technically allowed either. I snuck it in there and did it anyway. Yeah. They're not supposed to do that either. But I, you know, up here it's not a big deal. There's a drawer full of snacks.
Starting point is 00:32:24 We've got fresh snacks now. We talked about that. But yeah. No, we didn't take stuff. They're getting to that point to where they are sneaking into places and getting things they want. Yes. And so that was quite an adjustment for me because I did that shit all my life.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I have always been. He's still sneaking things into the house. I have done. I have some candy. Still do that. I sneak cards. I sneak cards. I sneak this.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I sneak that. I sneak whatever. And I've just always been that way. And I remember doing that as a kid around the house. And I mean, I got caught and busted a few times and some big got some big. trouble stealing change out of my dad's change jar and we used to still a change off of my dad's dresser too I always had it on top of his dresser lead out I stole like $125 out of his change drawer he had a big giant one full of quarters and so I fished them all out there but the um that when the
Starting point is 00:33:22 girl started doing that I was like oh you know and enraged like oh man you know not my child no no And I'm, and now, you know, and I have to, like, remember, like, shh, man, you know. You're a child. They're sure. If they're not going to push the boundaries a little and do some things, it make you go, whoa. Well, I mean, my initial reaction was to like, punishment, you know.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Yeah. I'm like, you don't know. Military school. Yeah. We ain't doing that. But the more I think about it, I'm like, you know, it, I'm not, I'm not worried about as much as I was. I think that, I mean, she's going.
Starting point is 00:34:02 going to have to sort it out whether she's just not worried about it. I know, but she's going to have to. She's going to have to sort it out whether it's something that comes naturally as she gets more mature or if we really have to jump down and give her more structure, she's got to. Yeah, well, especially here on like summer vacation, she is unbothered and unworthy about anything like that. I know, like at the dinner table last night, you were talking about how she's just staring at Tamela when Tamila was trying to help. Yeah. So Tamila was trying to hand her a plate of nachos that she had made for her, like a little, like a cheese. She's a couple chips on a little plate.
Starting point is 00:34:34 And Ila, instead of taking it from her, just wait, just like stairs at her and waiting for her to place it down in front of her. And I'm like, Ila, grab the plate. I like, she was not responsive whatsoever. I'm like, does she not even hear me? And then I yelled across the table and Dale's like, Amy. She's all seen. She's about service. She likes service.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Service, service. She always has. She's a princess. You know, she wants it done, put in front of her, done everything presented and handed. And Nicole's not. No, she's the opposite. The opposite. I want to do it myself.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Yeah. And like, oh, heck, you want to help me clean the dishes? Okay. Like, I'll say, if I say, all, I'm taking the trash out. Somebody put a new bag in. Nicole comes over. Nicole comes running over. Yeah, she wants to do it.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I was like, I'll leave the room. Yeah, she'll hide. She'll ignore what you said and walk in the other direction. Conveniently disappear. We did another food test last night at the restaurant, too. By the way, we, TJ doesn't eat vegetables. Oh my gosh. He'll eat an onions.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Yes, no vegetables. But he ordered fajitas last night. So he's got peppers and onions and like they gave him out like with a giant roasted whole jalapeno on his plate. It was so big. It honestly looked like a polblana pepper. It was huge. And Madeline also ordered fajitas and took a bite of her jalapeno, you know, willingly just to see
Starting point is 00:35:54 what it tasted like. The first bite was nothing. Second bite was pretty spicy. And so they all get up to go eat ice cream. We're going to settle up with a check. and TJ still sitting there with that pepper on his plate. And I'm like, hey, TJ. It's a jalapeno.
Starting point is 00:36:05 This thing's like five inches long. It's gigantic. Yeah. And I'm like, TJ, I'll give you 100 bucks if you eat that jalapeno, the whole thing. And he was like, absolutely not. He's like, I'll take one bite. I was like, if you take only one bite, you absolutely have to swallow it. You can't spit it out.
Starting point is 00:36:20 And he's like, nope, can't do it. My stomach will be torn up for days. All his excuses. And Dale, like, I'll give him a hundred bucks. I'm like, this is my bet. And he was like, TJ, 100 bucks. Just take a big bite of it. it, you don't have to swallow it, spit it out. And he did it. And he was huffing and puffing
Starting point is 00:36:35 for 30 minutes after that. And he didn't even swallow the whole thing. He took the bite, chewed it about three, four times. Yeah, he did. He instinctively just chewed it a little, like that stuck in his teeth. So he had seeds all in his mouth. It was awesome. And he did get a hundred bucks. And so we get home and Madeline goes, T.J. got a hundred bucks to eat the jalapeno. And I was like, do you have to talk to Uncle Dale about that? She was like, that's bullshit. Oh, yeah. So I had something that I noticed, and if this makes a show, it makes a show if it doesn't, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I don't know. I just thought it's something I'd talk to you all about. It's kind of personal, but I noticed that people, I noticed that people are better greeters than I am. And so. Wait, what? I know. So I don't know how to explain this. So we.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Like they actually. I have to be careful because the people that are, I'm going to be, the people that I'm going to, the people that I'm going to, the people that are, this is happening with are going to hear this. Oh. And so if it doesn't fly, we'll just cut it. But, um, so I work in broadcasting, right? And I work with this specific group of people and I don't see them for an entire year. Some of them, some, some people like, let's heart. I see.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Burton. Adam, I might see. But there's some people, especially down, down in the production side. that I won't see. I'll get an email, maybe a text or something from time to time, but we won't see them at work or anywhere for a long, long time. And so when you get back around them, when you go back to broadcast.
Starting point is 00:38:17 It's like, get reacquainted. You're kind of like, yeah, I'm kind of shy and standoffish and like, oh, hey, good to see you. All right. Yep, I'm excited. Yeah, it's going to be a good year. Yeah, we're going to have good run. And five races is going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:38:29 But the Tart and Adam, are like getting full on bro hugs with all these people. And like, oh my God. Oh, man. So good to see you. Everybody's hugging everybody. And I'm just standing there like, nobody's fucking hugging me. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:38:46 I like hugs. Man, what the hell? Why am I not? Is it because you're standing there like that? I don't know. With their hands across? I don't know, man. But I'm like, you know, everybody's like so glad to see each other.
Starting point is 00:39:00 And I am too. I'm thrilled to be there. But what is it? I feel like... Do y'all know what I'm talking about? I would walk up and hugged, no problem too, before I walked into a room
Starting point is 00:39:15 and just hugged you. You don't give off like, come hither energy. You know what I mean? You don't give off bro hug in or energy. No, uh-uh. Are you kidding me? No.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Like I see Lippert walk up and do the handshake half hug. Handshake. This is, this is Dale. Like typically, A, his phone's in his hands. He's probably looking at his hand. be like, hey, hey, yeah, nice to see. And the fact, what's from?
Starting point is 00:39:33 Safety blanket. You know what I mean? Safety blank. Don't make eye contact with everybody. But like, hey, nice to see you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're like, you don't, when you see someone come up to you, reach out, like, you're not engaging first.
Starting point is 00:39:47 And I mean, as a guy, like a girl, especially like if some of the women that you're around or whatever, they're not going to just walk up and start hugging on you. Yeah. That's just not a normal way to interact. I don't think. But Steve, I mean, Steve's like, boisterous. The Golden Retriever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:02 So he's sex as personality. I know. And that's exactly what I'm talking about. And it makes me wonder if, man, am I not? It makes me wonder if, is there a reason why people don't want to go away, man, I'm good to see you. Because it would probably be as awkward as that, because you'd sit still. Like, you'd probably clam up. So you are affectionate, but not with, like, everybody in the damn room.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah. So, like, Tamela and I were talking about this. She's not much of a hugger. And I, like, I will hug too, but I'm also not, like, not with everybody. And so she and I've known each other for almost 20 years. And we're not going to walk in and, like, embrace each other. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm careful about, you know, people are weird about boundaries, right?
Starting point is 00:40:47 So I don't like, I don't go up and put your, yeah, across the bubble. Yeah, I hear you. I don't. I might with Adam and Steve and, and because I know that we have established, yeah, we established an agreement. here. Are you a hugger, Travis? Do you like walk in and just hug anyone? It depends who it is, but like definitely like the bro handshake of like seeing somebody you know, like, dab them up. Next time I see you Dale, gonna go in full handshake for it.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I like, you know what my favorite thing to do is? No, you can't do. That's just awkward. I know. That's the whole point. So I have a friend Brandon and we've talked about this. I think Brandon Suggs does not like to be hug like it. And so I hug him on purpose. I hug him anyway. And now he kind of just like knows it's going to happen. So he doesn't get so annoyed. I do it too and he hates it. Yeah. So my favorite thing to do with handshake.
Starting point is 00:41:39 So when I see a coworker and he puts his hand out, hey, Dale has it going. I stare at it and I get and I bring my hand back real slow and I come in real slow. That's so weird. Like a more like a little clamp down on a vice. That's bizarre. I know. That's why nobody's coming at you. They're like, that man's going to break your hand.
Starting point is 00:42:01 hand. I make it like this is a very important handshake. And that's why people don't do it. All right. When we first met, he would just stare at me. He just stand in the room, like in my vicinity and just stare at me like bird dog style until I came towards him because otherwise it just never ended. It was so weird. Do you remember doing that? No. You don't? No. But I guess this is a broader conversation around just my awkwardness. But I noticed, you know, we got with the Amazon group and that was a great five weeks and TNT, same thing. And there's a lot of people in that in that in the production and the, a lot of people in the work group.
Starting point is 00:42:47 That facilitate a ton of stuff for us. They do a lot of, you know, they make all of our, they, when I say us, they make the talent's job really easy. They handle all these little frivolous things like clothes and everything. And they tell us where everything's it. They bring everything to us. And these are the people that make our job super, super easy. And so Steve and Adam and all the other people are super nice to them because they're
Starting point is 00:43:09 very thankful and appreciative. And I don't know how to like, hugging them is not comfortable for me. And so how do you do that naturally in your own way? And so when I see, when I walk into the room with Adam and Steve and they go hugging everybody and I'm standing there going like, yeah, how are you doing? It's like, I feel like I'm. I feel like I'm, I feel like I'm not appreciate. It shows off that maybe I'm not as appreciative.
Starting point is 00:43:32 I'm not as happy to see them. I'm not as thankful for them as Steve and those guys are portraying. Well, maybe next time you walk in first. Yeah, but I'm still not comfortable with just hugging people. You don't have to. I don't think that anybody needs your, if you all did the same thing, yeah. You aren't all the same.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I don't think that matters. Plus, honestly, they do more TV work. So, like, they're working through the fall as well, right? And so they probably have more time with. these people anyway. You're also just more of an intro. Yes. The tart is not an introvert.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Not even a little bit. Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it. All right. Well, I have a head of conversation. Yeah. Okay. Shocker.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Dale's overthinking it. I've saw something that Travis put in the notes a couple of weeks ago and we didn't talk about it. But Travis apparently has a mating call. I didn't put this in the notes. One of you did. Why would I put this in the notes? There's got to be like a sound that like turns you on.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Like, and it doesn't have to be like, for like it's not like sexually but like yeah it can be anything it could be anything like the sound of a blender like somebody's gonna make some margaritas or like the popcorn popping or like the pop of a champagne bottle i would say so you can have probably several you can have several yeah mine would be opening the opening the sound of a beer opening can pop in a cup in a can what about like firing a car now really i mean i feel like you should say yes anyway like a race call The sound of a race car? The sound of a race car.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Yeah, a racing. Racing sound. A cocktail shaker. Yeah, like a cocktail shaker. What else? Bacon sizzling. Sizzling. I was just thinking steaks for like, yeah, something sizzling.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Oh, yeah, fajitas, the sound of fajitas. So I always get annoyed when people order fajitas. I know, but I'm just, it's a sizzle. Yeah. Everybody knows the sound of fajitas. I used to get embarrassed, been anybody at our table growing up because I grew up in Texas. You ordered fajitas last night. Yeah, but like back in, like in Texas in those restaurants,
Starting point is 00:45:28 They carry him up for a high. It's like a whole scene. It's almost like when you order a bottle at a club, you know, like there's this whole like scene. T.J. You order the fajitas and and then he poured the casso in his skill and his in his in his silling hot skillet. So that was kind of clutch. He was pretty boss move. I was like, that's a pretty powerful move there.
Starting point is 00:45:47 T.J. melted it back down. Melting it back down. And I had this big glom of cheese and onions and meat all stuck together. And the hell with all the other stuff they gave him that he didn't even touch any of it. The rice and beans. Yeah. Rice beans, vegetables.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah. Yeah. What about like a golf ball hitting the club? Like that ding. That's a good sound. There's so many good sounds. That it? No.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Nobody has. I think I could probably think of a couple more if I just wouldn't put on the spot. So that sound you're talking about though is not it's not even a mating call. It started in college and I don't remember how. But like we would just be at the bar and just start. And like either that was noise. Marwood. What?
Starting point is 00:46:29 So you do have an actual call and it's just for your buddies or what? Yeah. Is it like everybody is time to leave? No, it's just like, I don't know. We're just drunk and just like being dumb and just like, that's hilarious. I'm so going to do that. I right until I see you now.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yesterday I was trying to get his attention. He's sitting up here outside and I'm going to yell Dale. I yell Ralph. And then I cook. I ca ca cawled at him because we used to do that like cacao. And he didn't answer to that either. So I just had to scream Earnhardt up there. Then he's like, oh, I'm an Earnhardt.
Starting point is 00:47:06 You're an Earnhardt. I'm like, yeah, but you're not listening to the 20 other names. I just like shirt to you. What was that swimmer that had that noise, that sound that he made? Remember he'd get a swimmer guy that got in trouble? I don't know. This was back when Hogue was around. We used to give Hogue a hard time because he kind of looked like him.
Starting point is 00:47:24 He was an Olympic swimmer. I don't know. Come on. And he would make a noise like after he got out. He had like a catchphrase that he. Oh, the goofy guy. Yes. Oh, but you made fun of a hug.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I know. Oh my gosh. What was it? I'm going to Google. Hang on. This is what that reminds me of. Y'all were Googling. You're talking about Ryan Locti?
Starting point is 00:47:49 Lockty. He had like, cheer. Cheer. Cheer! There was. So we used to mess with a friend of ours And we used to say that all the time Because he looked like the guy
Starting point is 00:48:03 And his girlfriend dated the guy Oh, that's right That's what it was Damn And his current girlfriend had dated the guy His girlfriend dated him And so we'd walk around and go cheer Oh my god
Starting point is 00:48:18 What a bird That was so much fun Yeah we were ass Oh man That's the role of a friend, though. That's your job is to give them hard time. Push all the boundaries. Oh, ho.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Do we have some ask Amy today, Trace? We do have some ask Amy. Let's see here. Speaking of drinking, people wanted to know. We found out about Jimmy Jam and SVG said as alter ego is Frank. Do you guys have a drinking alter ego name?
Starting point is 00:48:50 Not really. Do I? I don't think so. Shamami. I mean, I have nicknames, but not really like a drinking altar. Amos. People call me Amos, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Shamami was one I got called in high school, but that wasn't like a drinking name. Yeah. It was just a fun nickname. I don't think you do either. I don't think I did. He actually gets just a super chatty when he used to drinking. Yeah. Yes, you do get chatty when you're drinking.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Oh, man. Yeah. You've even admitted it to me before. Yeah. Oh, I'm shy. Until he has a couple of beers. And then he's chatting kattie. I'm shocked that Dale doesn't have a name.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I mean, he's got so many nicknames anyway. Do you? So some of my friends will call me Douglas. Douglas? Douglas, yeah. Woo, Douglas. I mean, why not? So, yeah, that goes back to college.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Is that your middle name? No, that's not my name. It's got nothing to do with your name. Where does Douglas come from? too long of a story that's not really that funny, but it carried over. And so, like, Matt Keller, a lot of times will refer to me as Douglas over Travis. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I like it. Yeah. Next question. Do we have an update on the extension cords? No. No. I mean, we got my Amazon. I do have my order of one.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I did get some ideas from some folks of making. you some better quality brands to buy. But I actually double ordered by mistake when I got the last one that just broke. And so I was walking around in our little storage and I found a brand new one. A brand new one in the box. So I just threw it up. So we'll just wait for that one to die. Yeah, we'll see how this one stays alive.
Starting point is 00:50:51 It's a common theme around here. Yeah. If you leave shit outside, boy, it's going to. It's dead. It's going to be, I mean, it's crazy. Good to know. Next question here is, does listening to an audio book count as reading it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I would say yes. I've read like 10 books. So I would say yes. Yeah. I got into, I got into reading the Bible here lately. I haven't read the Bible in a really, really a long time, but I got back into it. And I'm joined this Bible study with a couple of friends. And so they're like, hey, man, I'm this far along.
Starting point is 00:51:26 And I'm like, I'm not, I'm not that far along. You know, and they're like, they're like hauling ass through this, you know, this process. And I'm like, all right. So I downloaded this audio book of the Bible on my phone. And so I'll throw it on in the car or the truck just to kind of catch up to them. Now, I need to look at the word. It helps me to remember what I'm reading if I'm actually. seeing it on a page.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Yeah. But so that's what I'm doing too. I'm reading Hail Mary, but I have the audiobook as well. But I'm doing both at the same time to help me like super focus on it. I get distracted so easily to be honest. Yeah. I also found that to be helpful too is like to people are going to think is crazy a bit. But to have the audio book going while you're actually holding the book that you're
Starting point is 00:52:14 trying to read. I mean, it's like having an assistant. You know. It's like in school. That makes sense. Yeah. I don't know. I just feel like, I'm like, oh man, this is way easier.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I don't know why this is easier. Because if I don't have sound and I'm trying to read a page, I just don't retain it. I don't know why I can lose my train of thought. Yeah, sometimes. I get distracted. I have to like go back sometimes. I will be like halfway through the page and I'm thinking about shit I'm doing around the house.
Starting point is 00:52:40 I'm going to do the next day. And I'm like, I'm not even fucking reading this anymore. But I've gotten through a whole page, but I don't know what I just read. Yeah. I do the same thing. It's the weirdest thing. That's scary. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:53 We're going to have two kids that are going to do that. Oh, my gosh. I personally don't think it should count if you, if you have the book in front of you all count it. But if you're just listening in the car, you didn't read the book. Yeah. Okay. So you what? Like if it's face value reading the book, no, you're just listening to a book.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Yeah. You're just listening to a podcast. That's true. I guess that makes sense. Yeah, you have to have the tangible book for it to be reading. 10.4. Next question is, what do you think of people that send audiences? text messages. I like them.
Starting point is 00:53:25 I like it, but I still can't figure out how to do it. And every time I accidentally push that button, I have no idea what just said. I will send an, if I send you an audio text, it's because I, so like if, I had a, I just sent one to Adam. So Sunday during the race, we were calling the last couple of laps. And I called Christopher Bell Briscoe. So I had briscoe chasing briscoe. And sometimes when you're just, you know, I don't even know I'm doing that until after the fact,
Starting point is 00:53:59 someone goes, oh man, you missed, you know, you called this guy the wrong guy. And it happens sometimes during a race. It might happen every single race. But I know that if I'm going to get on. So Adam's the play by play. He's really the guy that's supposed to be doing all of the work in the last lap of the race. And if you're going to get in there and do anything, you better be smart and not just to be doing it. Say their wrong name.
Starting point is 00:54:21 And so I screwed up the great, I screwed up the call on the last lap of a race. And it's his call. And so I was like, I text him and I was like, man, I heard I goofed up. Sorry. And then I went back and watched it and I sent him an audio message so that he could hear the inflection in my voice and hear my insincerity. And so I think that's when it's good to do. Like don't be sending them just to be like, yep, meet you downtown.
Starting point is 00:54:50 I'll see you later. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Let's have a story or something that's too long to text out. When inflection and tone is important, it's sometimes a good idea to send. And Jimmy Johnson sends audio text messages. And I think that's cool because he's, that's, it takes a little extra effort. And it's a little personalized.
Starting point is 00:55:09 It's more personalized. You know what I mean? I still can't figure out how to do it. Yeah. Oh, it's super simple. Tim sends him to me all the time. I know. So like every time I push, like the microphone button, it's not listening to me.
Starting point is 00:55:19 It starts automatically. He's just going to have to show Graney how to do this. But I do voice text, voice to text all the time, especially if I'm driving in my car. Audio. It's recording. How am I doing that? When I, so how am I doing that on accident? Like, if I'm ever just starting and I don't know what I did.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Because I'm not talking it like that. Just hit here. Now you're recording. Hello. No, no, I get it. I love you. Okay, no, mine. Bye, bye.
Starting point is 00:55:47 now you know. Yeah, but I don't know how I'm doing it on accident because I'm not pushing that like that. I mean, I don't know how you're doing an accident. There's got to be a shortcut that's available. That's how you do it. Cool. Thanks. I'm going to send them to you all day now. Next question, Amy.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Do you think that Jimmy does it because they go away? Like, are there people that send them just because it disappears? You can save them. I know you can save them, but you don't have to save them and then they disappear. I don't know. that there's a thought process behind that? I don't know that there's an agenda behind it. I just think it's a personal touch of like, hey, bud,
Starting point is 00:56:22 how's going on, man? I heard from you a while. I just like them. I think they're good, but only when you're, you know, it's a real story to tell or some, or it's important to hear tone or. So I'm good with them. What about you?
Starting point is 00:56:39 I'm not a fan of it, though. I understand what you're saying about if you need to have like tone or express. you know, you want them to be able to hear because you can't, you know, read tone or whatever. It makes sense for the one-off. But I'm, if that's at that point, just make the phone call then. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. My own, you know.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I don't know. I feel like sometimes the phone call lasts too long. Sometimes you don't have really have time for that. Like you want to, it's, so it's kind of selfish. Like, I want to send it. All I've got to say is this. I really don't want a conversation. I just wanted to tell you this.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I just wanted to tell you this. That's fair. I'm just going to leave this here. Next question, Amy, people want to know how do you go about best making sure the kids are sun tan lotion is fully applied for them?
Starting point is 00:57:34 Oh, that's a great question. Tips. I got lit up Sunday. He didn't put any sunscreen on. I've not been putting any on this week. I lather my girls from head to toe, especially here. If they're going to be outside,
Starting point is 00:57:47 for like an hour. I don't worry about it so much because like your skin doesn't need all that stuff on it every time you go outside. But if they're going to be outside all day on the floor at the beach especially, I tie their hair up and I start with their face because that's their least favorite. So I get their face out of the way. So I know I did a good job before they start squirming around and, and then get them from there down.
Starting point is 00:58:08 But I also have some some goop I put in their hair when they get in the swimming pool to keep their hair from turning green. Yeah. I have like, special stuff. put in their hair before they even get in the pool. It's a process. Like, we can be fully ready to go and then it's another 10 minutes because we're going to cover ourselves.
Starting point is 00:58:25 And they haven't had any sunburns. Yeah. We're going out on the beach today, I think. Yeah, they like the, they're boogie board. That's the thing now. So you have to watch for the tide and everything because the beach here is so shallow. It's a must. If it's low tide, there's no water.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Like, you can walk half a mile almost. It feels like out to the sandbar. Yeah. Which is fun too, but you can't take the boogie boards out. Yeah. I saw on Instagram the hack that people use like a makeup applicator. I have sunscreen on that. Yeah, like a makeup brush.
Starting point is 00:58:57 I have those and I've used that before. And it worked really well, especially when they were tiny because they wouldn't sit still. And it didn't get in their eyes or anything. Dale's like distracting the heck out of me right now. What is it? I don't, that little baby Jesus. Yeah. Got a baby Jesus over your shoulder.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Between the wrestler's legs too. That's a weird place to stick of Jesus. Well, he's standing on a pot. He's standing on a... Here he is. Jesus, Mike. Yeah, the makeup brush does work really well. You know, are ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I think this is a good spot to finish the show. Okay, guys, thank you for your questions. If you haven't already, please hit the subscribe button, and we will see you next week. Check out DirtyMo Media on Instagram, Facebook, X, and TikTok. Thank you.
