@helicopter weewee yeah points wise its huge but they were all working together to get mikey his first win.

Hunter Stout That’s not the only thing one should know about him

Dale didn’t attend Jr.’s graduation

@Joe Frazier It's easy to point fingers and find fault with Dale Sr. about how he might have neglected Dale Jr., but Dale Sr. probably never had that, Leave it to Beaver/Brady Bunch childhood or tought how to parent that way!? Plus maybe the same concussions Dale Jr. talks about, may have affected Dale Sr., his moods and decision making, who knows!

@@bebo5558 exactly, everyone expects a dad to preach all of their shit to their kids, but that just aint reality, im sure dale Sr had all the best intentions for his kids but i can imagine doing 200 around a track for a living wasnt one of them haha and at that point then people think it means he didnt care? Haha as well as what you said, maybe he never knew how to be that type of father cuz he never seen it

More gay black non binary Muslim refugees!

cgppdx joe is a racist transphobic lesbian hater he needs to diversify and have more black transgender lesbians on the show

Diversity? Sorry sir, but there has not been a single attack helicopter on this podcast in the near decade of it's existence.

@@adamf4312 that's true. Lol. I forgot. Might I suggest : nazi hookers, abducted by space aliens and forced into weightloss programs. Next on JRE

Almost comparable to that. The possibly that you could die in a racecar is always in the back of the mind of the average fan. Its a very possible thing to happen. Its part of the nature and lure of the sport. Michael Jordan having a massive heart attack and dying on the court on game 7 is almost not even a possibility or a "yeah that could happen" type thing.

Did Michael Jordan ever go to a game 7 in the finals? I think they wrapped it before that.

@@TheBlueDogMan Bruh... 🤦‍♂️ wrong forum to do the Jordan GOAT debate, friend. Scroll a few more videos down.

Nepotism is far more difficult in competitive sports.

@@usedname9467Racing especially. It must be genetic for the racers, honestly. Even someone like Verstappen

And this is Joe at his best. He really connected with Dale here.

​@@DEIFAN Shaq*

Yes

I will never forget the day he died. We had just came back into town in Tennessee. The place was jam packed and you could hear a PIN DROP. Sad Day.

Would he tho he could bearly win a race never won a championship the only reason he was so popular and could keep a car is because of his dad and how successful dale sr was

Jr won 26 races and got 3rd place in a cup series

@@jordanwillett8456 I was never even a huge Jr. fan, but he's good guy, a father, operates a winning Xfinity team, and has a voice the sport values doing commentary now. Not to mention being the most popular driver a record shattering number of times, and like Tree Camel said that's a significant number of wins in Cup.

Yepp. And you don't understand what they're doing until you get older, and then you appreciate what they did and why. My dad was the same way. I'm from NC too, about 2 hours from them.

@@rightcoast7049 Shit dude, my dad and grandpa too.

Most do with dads like that

They're trying to teach a man how to be a man. To try your best at things, challenge yourself, be tough and push through hardship physical or mental. My dad was a big sr. fan but I never really imagined he was like him too. Though my dad was always super proud of my accomplishments in comparison. He never missed a game.

You can be both, hard and sentimental with your son.

"vibe" holy shit not everything is vibe you god damn hipster idiot

@@benevolent2077 shut up you crank.

@@benevolent2077 shut up bruh, vibe is just modern slang

Just like how Dale Sr. Competed to prove his dad wrong apple doesn't fall far

Its just the basic desire as a son to be accepted by the Old Man...

well put, he accomplished way more than his potential i think , like he said he was put in the Bush series on a whim only winning 4/150 late model races, and won two back to back Bush championships before joining cup series racing along side Sr. and then,, like you said having some great years in the #8 Bud car . early 2000's alongside some Dogs in their prime.

I stopped to watch in 2012 or so. Jimmy Johnson was the "deal" in those days. Can you enlight me a little more?

You always try to improve on what you had growing up, however it is usually in much smaller increments. As far as being a man goes I feel like Jr. has not only lived up to what his father would have wanted him to be but surpassed him by becoming a great driver and a great man. Not taking anything away from his dad, just saying.

Your ass hurts. Dale Sr was a back of the first 3rd to mid packer through the late 90s. Dale Jr did not carry shit. Jeff Gordon was the show. I don't think people realize how lucky the rest of the field was when Evernham went to run his own team. The other thing here ...do you realize that Dale Jr. was treated like shit by his father for nearly his entire life? I never liked Dale Jr until he started to share stories about how piss poorly he was treated by his father. Matter of fact ... Jr goes out of the way to tell stories about the way he was treated. He often speaks about how his Dad was a real human being who didn't always handle things well. I wonder if Sr was around if Jr would have turned out as well as he has. I am not sure he would have. Lets be clear though ...Jr never carried the slack for NASCAR when his Dad died. Gordon was light years ahead of those dudes long before Sr. died.

Sr was the cross maker for nascar and jr was the the cross bearer nuff said

This is too real. My father was the toughest but also most gentle man I've ever met. He never had to raise his voice or whoop us. That look was all it took and you knew seeing the pain and disappointment in his eyes that you fucked up big time.

Hurts even more when Mom gives it to you.

@@_wrks no it doesn’t

@@_wrks it doesn't

@@_wrks definitely not my mom was a raging alcoholic I couldn’t care less what my mom thought bout me

Might be your favorite nascar moment it’s not even close to greatest sports moment seeing as nascar is near invisible now as a sport

I agree with Boe. The first time returning to the track where Sr lost his life. And just the way everything went down. Absolutely incredible story book stuff.

It's by far one of the most memorable moments I've witnessed. I was there for that race. Jr and waltrip but especially Jr dominated that race. It was a special moment for the Earnhardt family, NASCAR, and it's fans. Everyone was a Jr fan that night

@@seanodeli7031 at the time it was one of the greatest sports moments ever. NASCAR was huge back then and mismanagement and noncar/non racing backgrounded idiots running the sport ruined it all. It’s still big but it doesn’t make national news anymore unless a scandal or huge wreck occurs. As a fan my whole life it’s incredibly sad but what can we do?

Agreed...

​@@yfi62dortohthis bit of badassery was brought to you by.. dirty mo media

​@@DEIFAN 😅😅😅😅😊

@@sithyarael6807Ralph Earnhardt died very early in Dale Sr.’s career

Dale JR is a member of the round table of automotive gods.

@@JayAR_YT I used to know a lot about NASCAR, but that percentage I knew, didn't even come close to 1% of what Dale knows. The guy is basically a walking encyclopedia for racing, not just NASCAR. Even after the concussions, he still has retained so freaking much. (Also, I have no idea if concussions can effect memory lol)

Kenz Schueler they can affect your memory speech and all sorts of stuff it comes long after you’re retired from a sport like nascar,boxing,UFC,and football. It’s CTE I think

He's up there with Cal Ripken Jr, Ken Griffey Jr, Floyd Merriweather Jr in those rare competitors that became their own man and never in the shadow of their old man.

Jay AR bro no nascar racer is a god lol

Right place and right time to do it, I think.

it's still his dad. it's a son talking about his dad.

david mcdavidson I don't think he minds talking about his dad at all, it seems like quite the opposite.

I'd be proud to

Lol you don’t think they had a discussion before going live about subjects that might be rough on the guy

Russell Mostrom Amen it’s the Gods Truth

Russell is God

yeeah about to be a dad and this hits home

Sometimes a father doesn't realize the hurt and the uncertainty their actions can have on their children's psyche. It is not hard to see why junior was such a popular driver and a popular young guy.

Yeah we've all fucked up time to time ..... It's not always easy being a father.

Same here. You always want them to say how proud they are of you but never really happens and then you find out from someone else how proud they are it’s even better because you know they don’t want it to get to your head haha.

That's an awesome story man

@@xafbxmoto269 that's such shitty parenting IMHO. If your kid kills it on something, it will not get to their head to acknowledge that.

@@Arthurian. Well as far as all the pussyfoot parenting now I could see why you think that. The old school dads created men and now this new style parenting created entitled offended little brats.

My father was similar. He always led by example and expected you to follow. No talk, no lectures. You just knew when he was happy with you and when he was disappointed

You didnt have to be a Nascar fan to be a Dale Earnhardt Fan. It was emotional for everyone in the South.

Some quality stuff!

agreed

Forreal

@@wanderbread4217 I live in Ohio and people had shrines to Earnhardt in their yards. Everywhere. I've never seen anything like it in my life

I was 7 watching the race with my mom and dad. They normally would change the channel after the celebration in victory lane. But that day they keep it on the that channel for so long after the race. I still remember watching the wreck and watching the ambulance driving away. I still remember trying to comprehend that dale wasn’t here anymore. Chokes me up to this day thinking about Dale Sr.

His father crashed right in front of me I saw it with my own eyes from the infield. I snuck into the pits the following Daytona and got to rush the car when Jr. won it.

I was in the in-field on turn 4 at 9 years old. I was playing pokemon on my gameboy when I looked up and saw the crash happen. As we were in traffic leaving we found out Dale died. Crazy memory.

I was 5... and unfortunately this race was one of my first real memories. I remember the wreck, and I remember my mom and dad crying, so I just cried with them.

@@armour182 I was playing red version on my gameboy color when my dad told me about the wreck. I was at home tho not the track. Pretty sure i was at the elite four cave trying to find my way through

Raise hell, praise Dale

I agree! This is why I love Joe Rogan. He gets me invested in people I would have never even given a thought.Dale Earnhardt Jr. seems like a really down to earth guy.

I've been a fan of Joe since I was 15 and he worked strictly for the UFC. Your absolutely right. The range of guests is incredible, from astronomers to race car driver's to Alex Jones.

joe will have anybody on, that's why he is so good

Alijah after seeing him have Elon musk on here, all things are possible

Elliot Hill I was thinking the same thing when I was listening to the video

I'm not even a nascar fan but I'd go see that. Jr is a good dude.

Absolutely! Such a powerful story

Elliot Hill they already did. It’s called ‘Days of Thunder.’

@@tommclarty17 Days Of Thunder were based on Dale Earnhardt Jr ?

Yeah he was the man for sure....Did u watch the race when Dale Sr, fans boo'ed him and gave him the middle finger when he wiped out Terry labonte at Bristol on the last lap to win the race? Was the first time I ever seen his own fans turn against him for a few hours because even they knew what he did was chicken$hit....when interviewed after the race, you could see on Dale's face he knew he f**ked up and all he could say was "I just wanted to rattle his cage..i didnt want to wreck him..just rattle his cage"

I remember that interview. Rip to both of those legends.

he is like that in every situation

heylookafork lol I didn't know what he meant until I read this

amen

I'm going to be the voice of dissent, as I am a fan of erasers. Don't be such a bigot.

Jonathan Velder autocorrect kicked you in the nuts on that one.

LobotomyMeat I hate the old ones that started breaking apart after a while man or left your paper looking like a mess

Mike Mears Old man Earnhardt changed his mind when Jr won Texas..

@@dannycoker6439 I’d say the exfinity championships he won where the start dale says it himself, Texas just icing on the cake and kept it growing

SR. DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF....

Yeah, I can hear the resentment in his voice.

At least they worked on their relationship before Sr died.

There is NO DOUBT that Jr. learned how to draft from his Dad. He could no way be that good at plate tracks without insight from his Father. I don't think Jr. is telling the whole story when it comes to drafting. He mentions it himself in interviews when his Dad was still alive !!!

@Jaden Pearce DW = Darrell Waltrip. RCR = Richard Childress Racing. 1 & 2 were Michael Waltrip and Dale Jr's cars but the OP is wrong about their teams. They weren't on RCR's team. They were on Dale Sr's company's team, Dale Earnhardt Inc. Dale Sr. still raced for RCR at the time of his death. What seemed out of character at the time for Dale Sr, is at that specific race, was he was blocking for Dale Jr. and Michael Waltrip on the last lap. He was always known for racing to win for himself, even when his son was racing with him. Heck, he even bumped his son sometimes but on that day he was trying to help them win. Unfortunate he never saw the result of two of his cars taking 1 and 2 at Daytona (the track that he had the most difficulty winning at). I think that's what OP was trying to express.

ineed2wheels chevy yeah almost happened with Newman for sure

Right there with you

Same here.. im 29 born & raised in Florida, about 30 mins away from Daytona and my grandparents were always big Nascar fans, every weekend we watched the races, mostly Saturday Bush races & deff Sundays.. and I still remember to this day, vividly what happened that day and the day after, I was staying the night at their house and I remember me & my memaw cryin some and she gave me a big ol'hug and told me everything was gonna be okay! It felt like it was one of my own fam memebers.. that's how I remember it today!

Hahahahahahhahahahaha omfg on point

Uh JRE isn’t an interview.. it’s a podcast where they just have conversations Joe just shoots the shit with his guests.. sometimes when higher profile guests are on it seems like an interview but it’s not.

JR. is a really interesting guy.

This is like me and my dad. I used to hate him. Would get my ass beat. But it toughened me up and idk what changed him but he’s a great man and I wouldn’t trade him for the world. Love that man to death. Have to go to the hospital tomorrow to see him. He’s not gonna be around much longer so I’m glad our relationship is the way it is now.

@@Chris_p_bacon86 hey, hows your dad now man

@@Roman4PF thanks for asking man. He’s actually doing alright. Heart and kidneys aren’t too good but he’s hangin in there. We were supposed to get lunch together but he had to cancel cause he didn’t have emergy to move then when we rescheduled I couldn’t go cause I injured my foot😭 can’t win lol

😂typical white parents

reminds me of my relationship with my father :( life is weird

I guess the real message here is don't be a dick father...

@@magneto44 Same here. I'm not 2 years No Contact with my father. It was a psychologically destructive relationship.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jeff. I know that pain well. Unfortunately, I never really even got to know my daughter because her mother kept her from me. Then she passed away after a bad car accident and in an instant, it was all over. 22 months and that's it. She was my only child and 5.5 years later, I'm still trying to deal with it.

Joe Rogan is conducting some of the best interviews I have ever seen, this is no exception, what an amazingly interesting interview. I have had the same relationship with my father. Unfortunately I don't think I have become a very good man, this interview makes me realize that I need to be a better person.

Well said! I couldn't stand his old man, been a casual Jr fan, he was very down to earth and likable when he & his wife did a home renovation down in the Keys on DIY network last year. JRE raised the bar, MF is super cool, and a class act.

This is definitely one of the hard things about being a guy. Trying to navigate around two male egos, my own feelings (things I'm sensitive to), and trying to act in a manner my father can be proud of. Talking about our mutual emotions can feel like a gamble for so many reasons. And I'm still over here looking for validation from random fucking people...a product of social media

Same with mine, probably had a lot to do with the fact that my dad was a massive Dale Earnhardt fan lmao

Clint Eastwood son had similar stories. Once he auditioned for his father. Not in person but via a tape. He did not get a call to the studio. Joe asked him if he asked his father why he did not get the part. He answered: "I did not talk about it to him, I wouldn't dare. My father is really old school".

Coldwater Bricks unrelated but totally related too.

LUN4T1C Geez my father isn’t as salty as Clint. You hear stories of Clint always just calling cut without comment on actors’ performance and it leaves everyone hanging. Must be one cold house, seems to have made Dale E. and Scott E. good people? Is it worth it to leave kids wanting for more from their fathers?

I watched him win 4 straight races at Talladega. Nobody else in Nascar history can say that.🤫

Very true. My grandfather told me one time that his dad never told him he loved him, never hugged him, never showed any affection towards him. But after he died he found journals that his dad had written about how proud he was of him.

I'm pretty sure if nascar wouldn't have docked him those points for saying "shit" in his interview at talladega, I think he would of had a great shot at taking the title that year if I recall correctly.

Pretty hard to do

Well said.
