Dale Earnhardt, Jr. joked after his wife Amy appeared on his podcast this week that in hindsight it was a “bad idea.”

That’s because she ended up spilling some hilarious tea on the legendary NASCAR racer including some of his most disgusting habits.

At one point during Amy Earnhardt’s appearance on the Dale Jr. Download, she was asked to talk about the “weirdest or most random things” Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has bought.

“He tends to hide the weird stuff, and this goes back to feeling like I have another child in the house to take care of because he knows it’s something he’ll get nagged for,” she replied.

“He just recently bought a bunch of candy that I intercepted, and he’s constantly…”

“Like what?!” Dale jumped in with a grin on his face.

“All those Nerds, the Nerd gummy things,” Amy answered back.

“Oh yes, the clusters!” Dale remembered.

Apparently candy is one of Junior’s big vices, because Amy then went on to tell a story about their housekeeper finding “tiny white pebbles” in the couch cushions.

“We didn’t find it for a very long time,” she shared. “Our housekeeper calls Sonny up and says ‘Sonny, I don’t know what this is but there’s tiny little white pebbles underneath the couch and they smell like cinnamon.’ And Sonny starts dying laughing. He’s like, ‘That’s a damn Fireball!'”

At another point in the show, the crew was sharing some of the bad habits they have and Dale said his was video games.

“No,” Amy quickly said rejecting Dale’s response.

“What is it?” he asked.

“It’s blowing your nose in the bath towel,” she replied. “He dries himself off and he honks his nose as loud as a goose into the towel.”

“Yeah,” Dale said back with a grin. “I’ve been trying to stop.”

“Yeah, so here’s the thing about said towel,” Amy continued. “He’ll hang it back up, so if you don’t know if it’s your towel or his towel because they all look the same…”

Dale and Amy would talk about a lot of hilarious things during her appearance on the show, including his deathly fear and hatred of jewelry.

Listen to them talk about his “stinky” houseboat, Dale getting stung by bees, his strange superstitions, and more below.
