  • Editing needs work

    Love the podcast but something’s wrong with the editing on Bless Your Hardt at least on the Apple podcast platform. There are always 7 or 8 times when 20-30 second segments are repeated and it’s not the podcast skipping…it’s like they are spliced back to back. Also happens on Denny’s podcast. Doesn’t seem to happen on DBC or Dirty Air.

  • Getting harder to make it through a whole episode.

    I’m a long time listener but between Travis’ obnoxious takes on everything and Dale rarely letting TJ, or anyone for that matter, finish a sentence, it’s hard to make it through the Dirty Air episodes anymore. I do still enjoy the guest shows when Dale is a little calmer, has a decent back and forth conversation with the other person at the table and we don’t have to listen to Travis.

  • Multi generations of Earnhardt fans

    Hi, I’m Andrew from Florida. My grandmother passed away two weeks ago, her and my grandfather were both passionate fans of your dad and watched you work you way up in nascar. Us Bradley’s aside from my aunt Terri (Gordon fan 😳) are and have always been die hard Earnhardt fans. Just wondering if my Memaw Frankie can get a shout out if this is ever seen by anyone of yall. Either way love the Dale jr download and all the Dirty Mo media productions.

  • Dale and Amy are great!

    Dale and Amy are great, but their new producer this year is tough to listen to. You’ll hear a lot of him. Disruptive to Dale and Amy’s natural flow. Just saying it’s quite a change from last year thanks to his cringy chime-ins. Just my opinion. I usually make it through 1/2 episode but I’ll stay subscribed to support Dale and Amy.
