Kyle Larson's Daughter Absolutely Roasted Him Over His Racing

Happy Friday! Let's not waste any time here — we've got Dale talking Rookies, Jeff Gordon chatting with Kelley Earnhardt Miller about her dad, and Larson listening to a fan-submitted song. We open the show with Dale discussing Corey Heim's eligibility for the Rookie Of The Year being, quite frankly, non-existent. Dale has an idea on how to revamp the process of awarding each year's driver. Next, Kelley Earnhardt Miller hosted Jeff Gordon for Business of Motorsports, and he discussed the advice Dale Earnhardt gave him, his lifetime contract with Hendrick, and bringing in Jimmie Johnson. The usual comic relief comes in Door Bumper Clear, who FINALLY had Kyle Larson join, along with his spotter, Tyler Monn. We couldn't pick just one moment, so we have two: Kyle on talking smack with his daughter about racing and a call from a fan who wrote Larson a song. And lastly, Dale had the weekend with the girls and went to Kannapolis, where the conversation turned to his dad's statue and where the girls might be in understanding who he was. That's all for this week! We will see you next time on the Dirty Thirty. Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dale’s Self-Checkout Rant is Way too Relatable

Amy and the gang are back for another round of Bless Your ‘Hardt! This week, the crew recaps a wild girls' trip to Key West, including the hilarious differences between traveling with the girls versus traveling with the guys. Amy explains why girls trips are so much more organized, how everyone had their own job, and why sometimes the best vacation plan is doing absolutely nothing. Then, things get heated over self-checkout. Why are employees hovering over you while you scan your own groceries? Is self-checkout supposed to be an honor system? Dale reminds everyone that it’s called SELF-checkout and he doesn’t need anyone else. Plus, Dale talks about how he spent his time with the girls while Amy was gone, including a trip to downtown Kannapolis, and talks about the Dale statue. They also dive into some questionable “Would You Rather” scenarios involving cold pizza, melted ice cream, clogged toilets, sleeping on the floor, and more. From Key West chaos to self-checkout surveillance, don’t miss this one. Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When You Meet The Intimidator, You Don't Forget It

Only have 30 minutes to spare? Where else would you spend them than with us for The Dirty Thirty! Where we bring you our best moments from our week of shows in half an hour. We start off with a heated debate with Dale Jr. and producer Travis on Dirty Air about how Trackhouse wound up with three drivers, all with contracts ending in 2027. Following that up, Chase Briscoe remembers the time when he wrecked Denny Hamlin battling for the lead at the Indy Road Course in 2021, and why he's willing to take a lie detector test over it. On this week's guest episode, Dale Jr. sits down with Jody Davis, former Major League baseball player and friend of his dad's. Jody remembers the first time he met the Intimidator and the time he went over the wall for him on his pit crew. In the land of Bless Your 'Hardt, Amy & Dale Jr. chat about Cleetus McFarland's get-up for his dinner with Dale Jr. at the local steakhouse ... and why Dale was not expecting it (but he should have!) And lastly, Noah Gragson and Zane Smith joined Door Bumper Clear, and during Reaction Theatre, Noah shares a story of a fan who cussed him out, thinking that he was actually Zane. That's all for this week! Tune in next time for more of Dirty Mo Media's best for the Dirty Thirty.

The MLB Star Who Became One of Dale Earnhardt’s Closest Friends

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sets out to learn more about his father as he sits down with longtime Earnhardt confidant and former MLB catcher Jody Davis. Jody had an MLB-record setting career as the man behind the plate, spending time with the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves before retiring in the early 90s. It was during his time on the Cubs that he’d meet Dale Earnhardt Sr., through a connection with Wrangler Jeans. He’d find himself at the 1986 NASCAR Cup season finale at Atlanta, where coincidently Dale Sr. would win his second championship. The two quickly bonded over their love of the outdoors and made off-season plans in Montgomery, Alabama to go hunting. Dale Jr. and Jody reminisce about Dale Sr.’s competitive and daring nature. They also discuss the time Jody spent on the road with the famed No. 3-team as an over the wall pit crew member. The conversation also covers Jody’s career through the minor leagues after being drafted as a freshman in college, his memorable seasons with the Cubs, and his post-playing career as a team manager all over the world.

Trying to listen to a show with constant bleeps is almost impossible. Either get Dale to stop swearing and be a professional or just let it ride.
