“It Was Mostly Bud 55” – Amy Earnhardt Tells Her Side Of Dale Jr.’s Infamous Jellyfish Sting Story

Gotta do what ya gotta do, especially when your wife is in pain.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife, Amy, recently launched a new podcast called Bless Your Hardt as part of his Dirty Mo Media empire, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. They have such a great dynamic and tell some really funny stories, but this one might be the best yet…

During the Ask Amy segment this week, a fan asked about Amy’s side of the iconic jellyfish story they’ve told before, which occurred when their oldest daughter, Isla, was really young and they were on vacation at the beach.

Amy was playing in the sand with Isla, and she got up to go rinse her hands off in the water. She says she barely put her foot in the water and stepped into a nest. She hobbled back to their spot where Dale was drinking some beer, and she told him he needed to pee on her foot.

It took a little convincing and maneuvering, but he did it:

“So I have been stung by jellyfish a few times, and I know by experience that the only way to really make the thing go away is by getting peed on. And so we’re out of the beach and we have a whole tent set up… so we’re sitting at the beach, I go out to rinse off, I’m playing with Isla, she’s pretty small, and we’re playing in the sand. So I go rinse my hands, and I barely step in the water, and I step in like a jellyfish nest, if you will.

And I have all these little red dots and one strap across my ankle. And I’m hobbling out of the water, back towards Dale, he’s still sitting. He’s still sitting there drinking his beer, and I walk up to him, like, ‘Hey, I just got stung and it’s hurting so bad.’ I need you to do me a solid and pee on my ankle. And he’s like, ‘No, no I won’t.’ And I was like, ‘Really? Do it. It’s the only thing that’s gonna make this stop stinging.’

He’s like, ‘How am I supposed to do that?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know, stay sitting and I’ll just stand in front of you.’ And so he digs a hole for my foot so that’s just like a little bit lower and he doesn’t have to wiggle at all. And pulls it down his short leg…”

Jr. added:

“I pulled it out of the leg of my swim trunks.”

Amy laughed as she recalled the event, joking that because of how much beer her husband had been drinking it was “mostly Bud 55” that was on her foot, but it still worked:

“He pulled it out of the leg of his swim trunks and peed on my ankle. And it took him a minute cause he got a little stage fright, but once he got it going it really helped. At that point it was mostly Bud 55 that he peed on my leg, but it worked. I haven’t been stung by a jellyfish since then. But it does work.”

Hilarious… I can just picture it and I can only imagine how hard they were laughing while this all went down.

Jr. was convinced they could’ve figured out a better way to do it, but they were covered by a beach tent and coolers so the people around them couldn’t really tell what was going on:

“We could have figured it out. We weren’t adding it all up there… I’m in a really low to the ground beach chair. We’ve got a tent, we’ve got kind of a cover, shade. I’ve got a beer cooler and a couple other things around me, so I mean, the people on each side can’t really see what’s going on. So I just dig a hole, she put’s her foot down in there, and it was easy.”

Amy joked that her “hero” came to her rescue that day:

“And my hero came.”

Dale said he was partially reluctant to do it because he didn’t want to pee on the beach, so he was able to make a sort of makeshift litter box and make it like nothing ever happened:

“I’m like, man, I’m not moving from this spot. But I don’t wanna pee on the ground. So digging the hole and not only got her foot down so it’s easier to hit, but yo fill the hole up like it never happened. Like a litter box.”

Just a classic…

You can watch them tell the full story below, and I’d highly recommend it if you need a good laugh today because it’s hilarious:
