Dale Jr. and Amy Earnhardt Try An Ice Bath for the First Time | Dale Jr. Download

[Music] foreign Dale Jr is on his way have no fear Dale Jr's on his way he's actually he's not late he's in the school drop-off line which is where we want him right now because this is giving us an opportunity that we've never had on the bill Jr download and that is for the next 15 minutes Amy Earnhardt uninterrupted Amy good morning good morning Amy you are here because if I have this right Dale Jr told me the other day that sometimes you will listen to the diligenter download or catch a video on social and you'll see or hear him tell a story and you're like that is not how it happened 100 he embellishes he likes to embellish he's always you know this about him he likes to do that he'll do it in your presence knowing that you know the truth just to get just to get more of a reaction that's just who he is he likes everyone to be entertained um so yeah that happens quite a bit actually or or he has a warped sense of reality well that probably is true too I think that's probably a little true to that I think there is by the way he wouldn't be alone that's men I think men husbands especially sometimes our reality our Vantage points are skewed well that's really good self-awareness Mike well listen I know it because I hear Dale and I'm like that's bullcrap I know that ain't how it happened although I will tell him he tells a story on Tuesday about you surprising him with the cryo tank the cryo therapy right I mean we butchered this story we first of all called it a Cairo that's what he called it when he walked up to Suicide I think he was so nervous too he couldn't even get his tongue to do the right thing you know so uh if there's a story that he's told that I think is accurate the closest thing to Accurate it's him hating for 10 seconds the cryo tank yeah or the cryo chamber yeah we sat in there for three minutes here's what I want to do today before Dale gets here I want to hear your version of this thing before Dale gets here now when he gets here I then want to hear that I think you guys did the ice bath that he mentioned on on uh Tuesday's episode he said that he was gonna with you try a nice bath at the house yes and did that happen yes okay we're going to save that for you and Dale telling that together okay first give us your version of the cryo therapy starting with you're surprising of him okay so the only reason I wanted to do this it's not something I would typically sign up for to do by myself I don't like being cold either but he keeps getting these Instagram ads you know the ads the algorithm knows that he's a potential he has talked about it at least once or twice and so he's getting all of these ads for these different types of ice bath things you can just put on your back porch Inflatables I'm like you can't fit in that it's 20 bucks it's going to fall apart well that doesn't matter why are you buying this stupid thing why do you care about this and he's getting these ads so often now he's really wanting one right but did he buy one he didn't and that's the reason he didn't is because I tricked him into doing cryotherapy oh he had an obligation for NBC and I knew it was in the area of Birkdale and that there was a cryo chamber okay place in Brookdale okay and so instead of telling him to meet me at the address I just said meet me over there by the theater in Birkdale at three o'clock and he loves a surprise so he was tickled to death that I was going to surprise him in the middle of the week in the middle of the day so he didn't hesitate whatsoever to accept and so we get to the the theater and I start filming him immediately because he's excited and nervous but he can't guess what we're doing he thinks as he said on Tuesday he thinks you're about to daydream hey thanks we're gonna go have a date yeah yeah he's like we're gonna go eat sushi or we're gonna have oh the movie theater we're gonna go watch a movie that's awesome I haven't been to the movies in so long Mario Brothers Oh are there is oh there's bars over here I haven't seen that one before I'm like no you don't have any clue what we're doing going to the movies nope black girl on your own I guess wear your Birkdale you told me to meet you over here going to eat sushi nope and then we get past this little spice place and uh he sees the cryotherapy which he calls Cairo therapy and I'm like we're going in he goes what's Cairo therapy it's an ice chamber um you've been telling me you want to do an ice bath he was like no oh you know his typical response yeah like oh uh-huh we're going in what's next Savory and spice nope therapy yep what's that you've been telling me you want a nice bath oh no and so we you don't have to have an appointment we just dropped in and we did it together you have to completely get naked except for your underwear if you do not have any they will give you some oh wow I know Community underwear Community underwear I could go wrong so you have to wear a beanie if you're a man and a and a head wrap for if you're a woman they want your ears covered okay um you get socks and you get slippers and then you get a robe so you can go in the crack and I'm saying it like he's saying it the cryo chamber by yourself or you can go in together of course we wanted together and um we did level one which is a negative 145. yeah stop right there I is that an accurate statistic that almost sounds like a NASCAR Loop stat uh where it's like you know they're trying to convince us that there was 2 000 Green flag passes that seems like an a ridiculous that feels like a non-survivable number I agree it does but I mean so that's level one they say level four is negative two hundred see that's easy so as you sit in there it does get colder there's a there's like wind blowing and it will get more intense it's almost like you're in a blizzard oh you don't start out there it eases into well I think once you open the door it just lets some of the cold out you know what I mean like so you have to walk in there's this giant door and what are you sitting on a bench are you stand in the middle you stand like a popsicle in the freezer okay now give a play-by-play of Dale Jr as from the moment he walks in um he walks in and he stands right next to the front door and he lets me do all the talking and then the lady's like giving us both some paperwork to fill out so he sits it on and he's trying to find his paperwork and um I get mine done first so he's already like uh you're he's frustrated he didn't get a chance to wrap his head around what's about to happen which is kind of something you want to do that's the way you want to do you want to mentally prepare um which I got to do so I'm excited I'm laughing I'm just laughing at him the girls are laughing at him because I called them in advance and said this is what's going to happen um so we get checked in they take us back to the locker room and we get undressed and we get in our robes and he looks at me and he's like this is gonna really suck I'm like it's gonna have a sec for three minutes you can do this you know what I mean like it's just three minutes of your life and so we went in there and you hang your robe up as soon as you get in and you just stand and try not to touch the walls it's not a big room it's really small it's literally like standing in a refrigerator box wow so yeah yeah and he's the two of you are in the same room we're in the same one together I start breathing almost like you know Lamaze labor breathing oh just like big deep slow breaths and he immediately starts huffing and puffing and his whole body is trembling and he's like I don't know if I can do this I don't know if I can do this and so there's this light tube by the way that's up both sides of the door and it's got this little white bar and it goes up and up and up as your time is going this is how you know when it's time to get out oh this is a like a Time meter yeah it's like a cloth yeah so every 20 seconds the light the white will get higher and higher and he's like [Laughter] how far into it are we oh 20 seconds that's it he was about if I had not been in that room with him he would have busted out of that thing and run out without his robe to the to the locker room and he said that he's like if you had not been standing in there my ass would have been running out in my underwear he's drinking in Birkdale um all right so he says this yeah 20 seconds in I'm like you got this just breathe it's okay and he's like my back hurts my back it reminds me that I've seen in a Friday when the dudes on the ground he's like my neck my back my neck and my back he's trying to claim that he's got like freezer burn on his back he didn't touch the walls there's no way he did you know what I mean it's not like got a hairy back either there's nothing to freeze I know but I could absolutely understand the feeling of burn uh in something that cold right like that's mine didn't you didn't you you you were fine okay so we're 20 seconds in I think he's just trying to make up every he had mentally plummeted as soon as he walked in there you have to no no no no no I I think he mentally plummeted before he walked in right before he walked on the front door he was pretty much upset about it and then when he walked in the door it confirmed his mentally plummeting yeah yeah and by the way I think I would be on his I would be the same way I so I'm not I'm not faulting to God but I am enjoying this this imagery right now okay so you're 20 seconds in all right now what happens I don't remember so like the next two minutes is almost like me just trying to calm him down and watching the bar go up I'm like you got this you got I feel like if I had been there by myself and didn't have him as a distraction I might have wanted to get out a little sooner too okay but him being such a tea baby really really was entertaining we were dying laughing the girls out front could hear us cackling in this in this chamber so y'all were laughing we were laughing our eyes off and he was like when I tell you he was shaking every inch of his body was bouncing and jumping all over the place because he could not sit still it was amazing okay so how long did y'all last we lived the whole three minutes oh my God we did not quit no we didn't quit you weren't gonna let that happen no he wasn't going to let it happen either with me in there with him okay is it an aside if he wasn't in there how long do you think would you have gone the full three minutes I probably would have I probably would not have had um as easy of a time though like he distracted me so he it was helpful so that was actually helpful for me yeah it was entertainment very entertaining okay so you go the full three minutes and you're watching that light yeah meter as soon as it gets to the last we have 122nd increment left he grabs his robe and he's holding it and he's ready to jump out yeah so as soon as it hit he opened the door and then I grabbed mine but we did it yeah but yeah but then the post chamber experience also seemed just as traumatic for him really well he was talking about these compression boots and that his body was shaking and that's when the burns started setting in oh does that know what happened tell us what happened he looked like he was about to fall asleep except for all of his texting to you like you can't believe what she just did to me he immediately got on the phone and was telling all of his friends what he just did yeah that's what I love about it yeah you gotta love it yeah all right so okay so so the boots are tight and they're long so like my legs are not very long I'm only 5'3 so they were squeezing all kinds of things they weren't supposed to squeeze when they got to the top because she makes you zip them up they're so high did she gets a few up halfway and then you zip for the rest of the way so you lay in the in this chair that reclines for what seems like 20 at least 20 if not 30 minutes it felt really long compared to the three minute torture that we just went through okay but it massages you really really deeply to try to get your blood flow back up and it's relaxing if you weren't distracted in that moment you could fall asleep it was it was nice so on the scale of man card here I feel like Dale revoked his man card the day he and Duggar got mani pedis like that that'll always stick out to me that video of that Duggar gets a manicure and a pedicure every week I'm sure he does yeah but I remember the video of them not only just getting mani pedis but they were giggling and tickling because it tickles this revoking of a man card that or what happened in this cryo tank Dale's Behavior the manicure and pedicure okay so you you actually are you a little bit there was another there was another guy that went right in front of us he didn't giggle when he was in the chamber but he was by himself who and he must go quite often he looked like he was working out and he had just come from a workout apparently that's what you're supposed to do that is what you're supposed to do like I can't imagine doing any of this ice therapy with without the workout in front of it like that would be the only thing isn't it supposed to help you recover yeah y'all were just record y'all weren't recovering this was a this was a smart-ass choice that I made to try to keep him from putting a damn ice bath on the back porch but then y'all end up doing it or about building another room in the house for an ice therapy session you know how he is yeah honey I need to build another garage because I I want an ice bath he he's ridiculous yeah he also just arrived oh great Dale Jr welcome to your show Dale Jr is here I know have you heard this yeah but it's like you don't remember none of our conversations we had you no no I I need to hear Amy's version of it and are you saying that Amy wasn't telling the complete truth you me yes I said I'm sitting there listening I'm like he doesn't remember anything we talk about no I do but like she gives a lot more detail and a lot she puts us in the chamber you just told us you know it sucked yes okay I don't want it all right all right so uh but you're saying this all right listen listen to be honest with you if you want to know the truth of it and I said this on Tuesday women are just way more tougher than we are we yeah we agree more tougher is that all right no they're just tougher more tough or tough all right there you go they're also grammatically Superior annoying grammatically annoying so then sorry you said that you thought if you didn't do this Dale Jr would just go create an ice bath in the house but then this is exactly what y'all did right well so here's the thing with the ice bath after we did the cryo thing Dale and I went to Sullivan's we had some things to do for the construction we're doing down there so we got a night away a few beers in I text Mitch oh you did that while we were sitting there yeah so we're sitting in the bar and I text Mitch Phillips I'm like you know Mitch those cow troughs that they sell at the Farmers Supply I need you to get me one of those and put it on the back porch he's like all right I'm like we're gonna do a nice bath he goes That's what I use for mine it's gonna be perfect of course Mitch Phillips does ice cream right right so he delivered one to the back porch unbeknownst to me so I look out the back window and there's this tub and I knew exactly what that was for yeah it's a big shiny silver tub just waiting for us to jump in I said what what are we doing that okay so side note I felt like we had to yeah well I guess so I I got a text when I got out of the Grand Canyon from you like it was one of the first texts that I got when I returned to the land of the living which means cell service and it was like between you and I we're doing an ice bath you got to be there you got to see this do you remember texting me this nope okay well so that must have been right after I text Mitch okay uh but I didn't get it till much later after you had sent it so I didn't reply okay anyway Mike you don't ever reply oh so good you're so bad at communication so uh so you guys do it now Dale said you guys were gonna do it on Tuesday's episode I gotta hear how it went well we fit that in yesterday afternoon um it was absolutely can I say I just did we already had it's absolutely miserable yeah is it worse than the cryo tank Beyond yeah whoa yes so that was when we started we did the box and the lady was like wouldn't she saying the ice bass was worse way worse yeah she said I've done both it is way worse I'm like in my mind that's a sales pitch right you thought for sure she was just blowing smoke because she wanted to come back I thought she was telling I just assumed she was telling the truth and that instantly made me think ain't no way I gotta I gotta do it to see it's impossible that what I just did in the Box was was miserable and it's a minus 140 degrees the ice bath is like 30 to 60 degrees something I don't know but it's not a minus 140 so now my interest is even more peaked because you know that was what I wanted to do from the get-go intentional you know from the start was the ice bath because it's so easy to acquire everything you need and that they gave me was his curious as I was and that's why we ended up she ended up getting the doing the legwork and getting the tub and so anyhow um I did some very very quick Googling uh people are in those ice baths from two to 15 minutes you just kind of pick your pick your duration I think it's pretty dangerous you know you need to know a lot about your own physical condition and stuff as far as uh any issues you might have with blood clotting and whatever because it's going to restrict your veins in a very fast manner it's probably probably something you need to do a little homework on Dr Dale just saying it it seems pretty it is it's insane it's intense as hell and so you need to make sure that you don't have any issues consult your Physicians consult your doctor when we went to the icebox we filled out all these oh we I don't have this I don't have this kind of condition I don't have this issue I haven't had any family history of this and X Y and Z I didn't read it I just checked all the boxes and so we um but anyways I did some quick Googling and it's like okay you know you fill the tub halfway with water so turn the spigot on put the hose in there go to town start filling it up and we need three five gallon bags of ice 15 gallons of ice so I called David Pittman one of my buddies on the farm and I said hey man bring over some cooler full ice I said I need about 15 Gallons he did he brought all of he brought 15 gallons of ice Amy pulls in I said hey it's all ready to go we're doing it I I went to pick up Isla where did I go I don't know I had to go to the Post Office I told Isla's like I'm really getting nervous on the drive back home I did not want to do this I didn't want to do this from the beginning I knew that he was going to hate it this is why we started the cryo thing you know I've had my back thrown out a lot lately and laying on that ice pack sucks the thought of getting myself into an ice bath felt ridiculous it was easier to climb into the ice bath than it was icebox for me but anyways I dump all this ice in there it was uh I know you know we're talking about this seems like it isn't that big of a deal but when you're standing next to that tub full of ice and you know you just put 15 gallons of ice in it and it's already a cold water spigot from outside trying to get yourself to climb in there and you know if you don't if you put a foot in or a leg in you're not going in you gotta go all the way in or you're not going in You Gotta Die almost go quote unquote dive in or you or yourself your brain will tell you to get out right you can't do that with an ice bath you physically can't do that you have to put one foot in first well yeah you don't cannonball in right but I mean I'm just saying I went I said I'm going all the way to the to the shoulders water level to the shoulders as fast as I can because I knew if I'd stopped at the waist I was going to chicken out and jump out feels a little like if you're bungee jumping you know if you you got to get up there and mentally prepare yourself to actually commit to getting off that thing or if you sit up there and think about it you'll stay up there right I got in 10 seconds is all I could do and I got all the way in yeah he jumped slid down to his shoulders and like heavy huffed for 10 seconds and then jumped out Amy's got it on her phone oh you do yeah we took a video but we're both halfway naked so I'm not showing you Mike but it's but not even him watch it you could put the uh might just hand it here's what I think though the so I don't know I think mentally preparing yourself is what made you get in there versus not having so much fun in that cryo chamber you can't get into an ice bath without putting your feet in first and having to force yourself the rest of the way in with the cryo chamber you walk straight in it's not like a toe touches it I know but as soon as you I guess when I open that door to the cryo chamber you feel that cold and you're looking at the damn interior that box is Frozen and you're and you're like I've got to walk into this thing you know it's a very it's a slower process where the ice bath was like bam I'm in if that volume's turned off you have to turn it turn the volume up yeah you want to hear all that all right here we go are you cool oh you didn't even get he gets out right after that yes hold on I want to play it one more time eyeless commentaries you guys [Laughter] oh that's so funny dude it's so cold it's so cold so you know how when your your cooler has been sitting outside like all afternoon and you have to get to the bottom of it for with your arm to get that last beer uh well yeah I've got a different example like when I'm I'm cleaning deer meat right like I'm I'm pulling it out it's been sitting in a cooler for a couple days and um and now I'm pulling when you go in it is so cold it is like it is so cold in fact I off often wear gloves just to do that because it's so cold at the bottom of that cooler same thing that's what you mean can you put your ass in that can you put your neck in that can you get your whole body in that that's what this feels what about your what about your private parts can you put them down in that cooler with the beer I feel like you're not even thinking about your privates once you get your feet in there we're always thinking about our privacy you know what's most sensitive for me when I go swimming is my waistband and like I I can go all the way into my waist and then that's kind of where I get hung up in a swimming pool and then I have to go you know I could get in with my legs all the way to my waistband and from there it just takes your breath away but uh I think everybody's a little different there but I jumped in I breathed hoping I breathe the only way that that breathing that you heard was like not voluntarily that was not a voluntary motion man that was happening whether I could I'm not controlling that but I was hoping that the the shock of the cold and you know the the sensation would go would chill but it didn't chill I had to get out well but then honestly look wait so Amy tries to get in a couple times to begin with I literally told him after him oh yeah okay I try to get us to do it together and he said that he wanted to do it first yeah and she had a harder time but eventually I did not get anywhere past my waist she got halfway in come out try it again put a leg in nope he tackled me until I did it again I would give her a hard time like saying giving examples you can do it not Hickory I mean you could do it he wasn't coming because I listening yeah how he is he stares at you until you do it assistant guilt treatment I just really wanted her to be able to come in here today and say I've done it this is the experience I had I listen she did so wait Mike So eventually she's like we have a video of this part yeah I said hey I'll do it again I'll do it I'll get back in there if you'll you feel good one time right and she says okay and so she's like we're both going in the same time so we both climbed into the tub together he pushed me in there that's not true I have it on video I do surround me tried to hold me down stop that so I get in all the way I get into my neck she climbs in and just goes to pits so she's got her shoulders out and I just grabbed her shoulders and shut her down is that different than what I just said I pushed her down two inches it ain't like a doctor no I think I think that's exactly what game he's trying to say well I don't want people to get the opinion that I that uh he was going to make sure this happened hello now people are gonna think I'm abusive oh please [Music] [Laughter] I didn't think you pushed her down that much all right it felt aggressive when you're in the iceberg no I was just like hey no you've got no and he's in there with you he's in there with you so it wasn't as bad as I thought actually I think that uh yeah I think he'd actually handle the ice bath way better yeah thank you so I I don't understand how he prefers that over the cryotherapy he says he does all right so they're right the ice bath is harder by far wouldn't you agree yes I got into the box and was able to you know thanks to you stick it out for three minutes not a freaking chance no no chance I'm getting Beyond 10 seconds in that ice bath no not a chance you'd go in the only thing is like the thing that I do find interesting is that I can get in the ice bath in and out in and out as many times as you want me to but I can't stay in there now the ice box I think if I got in it and then came out I wouldn't go back in they're two different things they're very very well it's Air versus water so yeah of course it's going to feel different if I got out of that box I would not go back in it so here's the thing about the box too as we were standing in there the vent started to blow the cold air out again so she told us level one you know that's as cold as it gets by the time you get up to level four it's she said it's like a blizzard in there it's like spitting out snow almost there's like cheese ice no thanks so did it get to 145 or did it get to 200 negative negative 145. you got the negative 145. I've seen how hard to believe yeah it's yeah sounds like Mike needs to go oh I think that's a great idea I think we should take this on the road I thought we were gonna have to apologize for talking too much about ice baths and and cryo therapies but now man we got one more segment in this out of this thing and that's you going to the ice box well no I don't think I'm good we still have a free plan we bought it we have a pass for you here's what I'll tell you because listen you've everybody's shaking Morgan will do it Morgan everybody's shaking their head yes yeah do you um I appreciate that you come and you own your um I don't know flaws and wimpiness and stuff I if you would like to know I mentioned in our Grand Canyon story that there was more that I didn't want to share it oh do you want to happen I just watched that clip on Instagram and I'm dying to know the people didn't poop your pants well I would only say this because you've owned yours and by the way I said women are just tougher than us here's what happened we hike out I told you already that we were not supposed to hike all the way out we were supposed to hike four and a half miles camp for the day yeah and then the next morning go the rest of the way which is another four and a half miles the last four and a half miles of the Grand Canyon is just straight up a wall right like it's just it's it's intense right my wife has been encouraging me to get in shape for this hike for months yeah she even has on a chalkboard in her house like 92 days until Grand Canyon and I'm just like you know past the honey mustard I've got chicken nuggets to eat right yeah with three miles to go I'm down a cylinder I mean with three miles to go that's and I know three miles is a freaking long way it is a long way and now I'm down a cylinder and miles is hard flat but now you're in a space where you can't stop exactly there's nowhere to I mean you should have stopped a mile and a half back right exactly you you're committed you're you're pot committed at this point for the next mile and a half there's a mile and a half rest house um and Lily is walking with me and Gracie and Sarah are way in a way up they're doing well as far as they want to be frankly give me 100 yards 200. oh no they're probably can you see they're probably no I can't see them okay so we get but I do see them at the mile and a half they've waited for about 15 or 20 minutes for me to get there and now with the money now they're refreshed now in a mile and a half to go I'm not only down a cylinder but I don't have lug nuts on my wheels and I'm struggling and I got a mile and a half to go they go on Lily and I stand back Lily God bless you 10 years old and she's just she's just there for support moral support in a three-quarters is there for Your Life Alert is what she's there for and I did all right so with three year old says man's life with three-quarter mile to go I'm now dead on the apron and and Sarah and Gracie have been out of the canyon now for a while but they also it kicked their butt too but they you know were so I text Sarah because now we're high enough to get cell service and I'm like I don't know I I'm seeing three paths right now I'm low on electrolytes I can't I'm dizzy I'm like are you being dramatic Mike are you no I I don't feel like I'm being dramatic here's the thing much in the way Amy was your hero in that cryo tank Sarah who is exhausted goes to the store buys snacks and Hikes back down the trail and brings it to me she's got time to go to the store and shop and come back at the Grand Canyon uh because still can't team she she brings me snacks three-quarter miles down on the trail and Hikes this thing again my gosh and brings me a Powerade and Snickers and and things that I'm sitting there on the side that's I can see Dale dude I have no Shameless to see Mike doing this let's just enjoy this so don't put me in this and meanwhile I'm in the canyon meanwhile Lily has it on her face she's not saying it because she's too sweet but she's on her face it says this together dad I mean God you know it's so and Sarah then says do you want me to carry your pack out too oh she's basically saying in front of your kids your slip is showing but she was actually saying that out of concerns you don't think that was like a encouraging get your ass up let's go kind of she would have been perfectly willing to do it so basically Sarah hiked nine and three quarter miles out of the Grand Canyon she did the last part twice um brought me snacks I don't know if that's ever been done in the Grand Canyon Trail I don't know if that's probably more than you know and that was absolutely something that I was not prepared to tell anybody but this podcast has to be owning the owner Applause and if it if it celebrates how awesome our wives are I'm I'm here for it right that's right so I like it Mike thanks for being transparent Amy you have an open invitation to just take
