Dale and Amy Are Divided… Over Tacos?!

Dale and Amy are back for another episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt. While Mother’s Day might not have gone to plan, things still spiral into chaos, pickles, and unexpected life debates. You remember the pickles Dale and Amy cannot get enough of? Well, they brought some to share this time, and let’s just say the producers’ booth absolutely loved them. (But honestly, we are not surprised.) You know as well as anyone that it isn’t an episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt without a few friendly debates. This week, we went all out playing This or That to make sure we stirred up a lot of opinions, including one question that got surprisingly heated: who would’ve thought Dale and Amy had such strong opinions on taco shells? Then we wrap things up with everyone’s favorite segment, Ask Amy, where YOU get to ask the questions.

How Kon Knueppel Reignited Dale Jr’s Love For Basketball

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most promising rising stars in the NBA, Charlotte Hornets small forward Kon Knueppel. Kon lit the professional basketball scene on fire this year as he became the first rookie in NBA history to lead the league in three-point shooting, shattering several records along the way. After growing up in a basketball family in the Milwaukee area, Kon was recruited by Duke, where he helped lead the team to Atlantic Coast dominance. He would declare for the NBA draft and would be picked fourth overall by the Hornets, helping to turn their performance around for the 2025/26 season. Kon would ultimately lose a highly contested Rookie of the Year battle with fellow Blue Devil Cooper Flagg by one of the narrowest margins in league history. Funnily enough, despite having two basketball legends for parents, Kon didn’t show much interest in the sport until he got his hands on video game classics like NBA2K and NBA Jam. Kon became interested in the legends of the past and learned to love the game through its history. By high school, he was one of the most promising collegiate prospects in the country, and he fielded offers from many major Division One schools. Dale and Kon’s conversation covers the Hornets successful comeback season, the changing culture of the team and his journey from a close-knit, basketball crazy family to being a perimeter shooting phenom.

Hocevar's Met Gala Moment & Ryan Blaney's Life As A Dad

This week's Dirty Thirty is going to be all the buzz around town — and yes, that is a pun referring to the swarm at the Earnhardt house. Get ready to rock and roll on into the best 30 minutes of your week with Dirty Mo Media! Batting leadoff is Dale Jr. discussing Carson Hocevar's outing at the Met Gala, the moments he remembers being in the pop culture spotlight, and why he thinks more drivers should do the same. In the two spot, Door Bumper Clear heard from many No. 9 fans, known better around that set as "Chasesexuals." It's safe to say they were one happy bunch this week... You also get to meet someone named Pickles, who sounds like a trip. This week's guest interview on the Dale Jr. Download was with Mr. Mustache himself, Ryan Blaney! He talks about fatherhood and bonding with his own father, Dave Blaney, over life, racing, and everything in between. As you read earlier, the Earnhardts have had a fun week dealing with a swarm of bees that decided to use their back porch as a vacation rental for spring break. And last but not least, Denny Hamlin discusses SVG's chances of making the playoffs leading into the weekend at Watkins Glen. That's all for now! But before you go, head on over to shop.dirtymomedia.com to check out our new "Zero To Freedom" merch line.

The Earnhardts vs. 15,000 Bees

Welcome to Bless Your 'Hardt, where Dale and Amy spend some time talking about their INTERESTING week. Between a disastrous attempt at cleaning the boat, a less-than-smooth fall on the dock, and 15,000 bees suddenly taking over their porch, chaos keeps finding them. Amy questions Dale’s fashion choices, Dale defends his very specific beer philosophy, and somehow a conversation about Mother’s Day turns into debates about racing guilt and how Dale handles it. The episode also brings some surprisingly sweet moments as Dale and Amy talk about the girls, family life, and the little things that catch you off guard emotionally. Then we switch into Ask Amy where they get into new Dirty Mo merch, a possible Jerky Boys jingle, and whether or not Dale would ever attend the Met Gala... (we think you can probably guess his answer to that one.) You’ve got one of those episodes that feels less like a podcast and more like hanging out with friends who have way too much going on.

Ryan Blaney Gets Candid About His Commitment to Roger Penske

This week, Dale Earnhardt Jr. catches up with a driver who has firmly established himself as one of the top drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series, 2023 Champion Ryan Blaney. Ryan enters the studio with major news: he is signing a long-term extension with Penske Racing. He explains what his time with the team and legendary owner Roger Penske has meant to his career and how he can’t imagine himself anywhere else in racing. While Ryan currently finds himself fourth in season points, his year hasn’t been without turbulence. The guys chat about Ryan’s pit road mishap at Texas and his ongoing issues throughout the early events of the year. Ryan explains that he’s confident in the team’s speed; they just need to put all the pieces together. Dale and Ryan share admiration for the new NASCAR points standings, which harkens back to previous favorite times in the sport. Ryan applauds the fact that race wins mean so much more under this format, and it’s no longer about being “welcomed to the Playoffs”. The guys look ahead to Watkins Glen, bond over fatherhood, ponder superspeedway packages and farm animals.

Why Carson Hocevar's Celebration Makes Him Cry

Fridays are our favorite days of the week around here — what's yours? Well, if you listen to Dirty Thirty, you might be right there with us. In just 30 minutes, we take you through a journey of topics that have the Dirty Mo Media world buzzing. Our first stop comes in at Dale Jr. Download station, where Dale dives into the happening over at Richard Childress Racing and the news that Jim Pohlman is OUT as Kyle Busch's crew chief (although he technically got promoted...) Next up, we travel to the moon and back — sort of. Noah Gragson and Chase Briscoe joined Door Bumper Clear and had a riot of a time. But the train really went off the rails when they got into this weekend's waxing crescent moon and how it *allegedly* affects the grip of the racetrack. We end up with Noah calling Josh Berry, Riley Herbst, & Austin Dillon to confirm the conspiracy. Dale interrupts the show to tell you about FAN DAY on May 21st at JR Motorsports! Back to the action of the show, Denny Hamlin chimes in on the debate stirred up by Stephen A. Smith, which entailed whether or not NASCAR drivers are considered athletes. All the way back at the very beginning of the week, The Teardown hosted NASCAR's newest CEO, Steve O'Donnell, to talk about the future of the sport and what he plans to do with feedback. Our closer is a popular man this week — Carson Hocevar stopped into the Arby's studio to discuss his first-ever Cup Series win, his all-time celebration, and the motion that comes with watching it back. It's another packed episode! Don't forget to buy our merch at shop.dirtymomedia.com to rep our gear.

If I could only have one podcast to ever listen to on my phone, Dale Junior is the one. He is probably the best interviewer of anyone I’ve heard and I’ve listened to a lot over my many years. He really listened to what his guests say, and respond and act accordingly. Love hearing his interview interviews with the legend especially keep it up Dale.
Explicit rating

Would like to know if your podcasts at Dirty Mo are changing to explicit content on a regular basis. Have 12 yr old granddaughter listening at times, and cannot appreciate explicit content, so will have to stop following, if this is the case. NASCAR used to be family oriented--not so much anymore, I guess.
