- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Grammy award-winning Country Music superstar Cole Swindell pulls up a chair at the big wooden table to have a chat with good friend Dale Earnhardt Jr. The two giants in their perspective industry have a special bond. They open up about the loss of their fathers and mothers and how they each found ways to cope with unthinkable loss. It's a conversation that brings us closer to how Cole, who lost his father in a freak accident as a child, and his mother to illness recently, was able to carry on. He didn't miss a beat, playing his popular song, "You Should Be Here" in front of packed audiences for an even deeper meaning. We learn how the particular song brought Dale Jr. and Cole together.

Listened to the song after watching this episode and damn Dale hit the nail on the head.
This made my morning...I'm not a sports guy, don't golf, boat, not even football...Just a car/music guy thanks to my dad 💖 I was at the first Daytona 500...9 years old...1959...
Thanks dad!
I was working in Atlanta for the phone company when dad passed in 1988, he was only 64...I still think about him and cry...
Dale & Cole...THANK YOU!!
“They need to hear it just as much as I need to sing it” God Almighty what a beautiful revelation. As someone who lost a dad at 22, this video was absolutely something I needed today.
Your Dad loves you ALWAYS... never forget that....🏁🙂
The one thing no one seems to get is when you lose your parents you lose that unconditional love, no matter what you did they love you and although you may marry it’s great, really not the same love, it’s love but different, that person can change, but losing that unconditional love is the hardest thing I’ve personally felt with and lord knows I’ve been through a lot!! Thanks for sharing your story, I go back to a time when things were simple by just pressing play on my phone and I’m thankful how much a simple song, (esp deeps ones like his) takes me home again.
very true and it doesn't matter how old or young you are. lost both of mine to cancer
I agree , I lost my Mother from brain cancer last July. A matter of fact the last few days have been so difficult.
Totally, lost my dad to cancer 2 years ago now. Think of him everyday
I get what you're saying i tell my wife when you lose a parent for me was a true heartbreak
Lost my dad almost three years till the day. Appreciate what you have ya'll
I am so thankful for you Dale. We need more real people like you around.
When Dale Jr relates to Your Song!
Good bless you both.
I’m not crying……… Best Dirty Mo’ show yet. Can’t replace them.
I’m gonna have to come back and listen to the whole thing…just not at work (where I am now! Lol).
Omg I’m so glad to see this meet up.
I was fortunate to know Mr. Keith most of my life because his sister law is my aunt. Not Cole’s mom. The man was always so cheerful and joyful with amazing humor. Great family.
(I do not know Cole nor have I ever met him.)
I could totally see Sr and Mr Keith hanging out with loads of laughter.
That was amazing podcast Dale jr . I was almost killed by a drunk driver had a severe traumatic brain injury and your comments about your brain injury really was a turning point for me seeing my racing hero have that and It helped me feel like I wasn’t alone and we all go through things. So thank you Dale .😇🙏🤘😎🤘
My dad lost his dad over 40 years ago. He died in his arms.
They had a small asphalt paving company then. Now our family has the most premier paving company in charlotte.. I often think what my grandpa would think of all of this.
That song nails it on the head. Good man, Cole. Keep the good music coming
Damn thank you Dale Jr. for introducing me to Swindell. “You Should be here” hit me like a ton of bricks. Can’t believe mom has been gone for 21 years. I’m 43 now and she passed at 40. I cant wrap my head around that and miss her.
I lost my mom at 12 years old and it’s been 20 years this month I know what you mean !
I lost my dad 9 years ago this week to suicide and you two have been crucial to me and my mental heath to get through a lot of days. All of our dads would be proud of the men we've become today! Thank you and God bless you for all you do!
God bless lost a friend to suicide and I miss Oscar. lost my dad 27 years ago the night before Fathers Day but I miss him take care
I lost both my parents to suicide. I say all the time, I’d they had just known all this goodness was coming. If they had just waited for one more breath!
Lost my dad 3 years ago. That song and Dad's Old Number have helped alot
looking back on life, my greatest gifts I can offer came from painful times in my life.
I dont know my dad. But i lost my mother. She was only 45. She missed the birth of her first granddaughter. So this song hits me hard as well. I appreciate that song every day. Thank you for bringing him in and talking about it. Dale you are the man and for me will always be my favorite driver
This hit me hard... that last thought at the end of this podcast brought me to tears just thinking about losing my parents. Had to sent a text to my mom and dad just to say I love them. Thanks for the reminders to never be too busy to talk to your parents... that day will come when we won't have that chance.
Lost my dad 7yr ago still cant believe it some days i understand word for word what Dale is saying i get it won't lie choked me up watching this dang
This channel needs 1M subs YESTERDAY. Never a bad show. 👊
That song always gets me after losing my son 5 years ago.
Terrible sir, I’m sorry for your loss.
I lost my Dad suddenly 2 years ago, and "You Should Be Here" and "Dad's Old Number" are 2 songs that have had such a massive impact on me since. They really hit on a deep level, thank you Cole for writing and making songs with such importance and meaning, you put into words emotions and thoughts that a lot of us struggle to do that with
Thank you for this video. I just lost my mom to brain cancer a week ago. It has been a rough 2 months. She went that quick.
I lost my dad in 2009 when i was about to turn 13.. he is my hero and I try to make him proud everyday but it’s so hard
We all lost Dale in 2001 . I lost my Dad Nov of 2001 pass away too young at age 54 ! I've always related so much to Jr's stories of missing moments in life with his dad as i did as well ! Then seeing and hearing of what his mom was going thru.. I too had a mom dealing with cancer ! Lost her battle 28 days before Dale lost his mom ! Amazed we may have never met in our journey of life but we are closer than either would know ! This episode tore me up inside ! Same song first time I heard it brought me sorrow and joy of remembrance Of my Dad too ... Worlds apart yet so close to home !!
lost my dad and mom to cancer. lost a good friend to a sudden accident, so I feel so bad for Dale, and for Mikey and Kenny. wish I could hug them and tell them I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you as well God Bless
Dale Jr. thank you for this show..... was not expecting the emotions that presented themselves this morning about my parents. I think of then everyday, many times through the day but to hear this conversation it let me know I'm not alone in my thoughts. God bless you.
You feel like an adult orphan. God bless you both.
Lost my mom and dad all 9 months apart tore me apart and I cried watching this. So so hard without them. Man so sorry Cole and Jr. It is awful feeling.
I just had to stop and listen to the song, one word came to mind, Powerful! Thanks for both of you (Dale and Cole) providing us fans with this video.
My younger brother who was 48 at the time passed away from kidney failure after being placed in a NC hospice. I have often said I'd rather lose someone to a tragic accident then to have to watch a loved one suffer for days and weeks on end like my brother did. Not only was my brother suffering but to watch the pain my Dad went through knowing he couldn't help my brother was the absolute worst thing I have ever experienced.
Be thankful you had the time to say goodbye …
So sorry for your loss, and that really is a sad situation with a feeling of helplessness. At 60 yrs old, I've lost loved ones both ways: sudden deaths and those that suffered a while before passing on, so I can relate.
I am so sorry for your loss. My dad fought and lost to cancer after 9 years.. Watching him suffer for the last 6 years of it bed ridden was awful. I hate hearing people say "just be glad you had time to say goodbye" I honestly wish I hadnt.
My dad died from ALS at 70yrs old in 2014. We had 4.5yrs of what was in the end, a pretty miserable existence, and certainly a trialling time for my family. But we got to say goodbye, not only that but we also had time to prepare, for many things. That said, it is not something I’d want anyone to have to live through. My best friend of 40yrs got a phone call 2 mos later. His dad passed suddenly, and out of nowhere (aneurism). To say it Crushed the entire family, whom had many, many plans together to still see through, is putting it mildly, and they haven’t been the same since. Having lived through both experiences i will never stop telling people that have to painfully watch their loved ones pass(ing) through illnesses or diseases to be thankful for the opportunity to grab some semblance of closure.
that is true in some ways, but one good thing about an illness that goes on you have more time to get prepared as far as drawing up a will, and getting funeral stuff taken care of. if you have not done it PLEASE DO IT. sudden death can be really hard, lost two people that way, one to suicide and one to a tanker truck accident.
Another excellent one Dale. This time a tender topic....I lost my oldest Son to cancer earlier this year....he was 34 and Down's Syndrome....we miss him terrriby....I have also lost a brother, sister, niece and nephew in the past year. Too much death......Dan Sloan
I have to admit, I'm one of the older fans of the DJD-PC, so when I saw the guest was Cole Swindell, my thought was "is he Sammy or Jeff's boy?" LOL!
I obviously hadn't heard his music, but after dialing some up, on my Slacker radio app, I enjoyed a few of his tunes very much, including "You should be here" After losing My Bio Father in 2019, then My Step-Father of 57yrs in 2020, I've gotta say that Cole's song for his own lost Father fits purty damn well for the two I lost. My Beautiful Daughter will be marrying a very lucky young buck come April, think I'll have the DJ spin Cole's song at the wedding reception, I'll delicate it to both of my Daughter's grandfather's, then I'll raise my Jim Beam glass & wash down my tears with it 🙏✝️
Btw, Damn Cole looks alot like a young Jeffrey Earnhardt!
You sure that boy ain't a Earnhardt 😳?? LOL!
Thanks for this clip. I needed it for my own healing.
My old man died 11 yrs ago. I miss being able to go to his house and crash on the couch and sleep like a baby. Talk with him over breakfast the next day. Seeing him in me the older I get. I watched the You Should Be Here video and then My Old Man video. Crying like a baby now. Thank you Dale for the interview and song recommendation
My dad is fighting terminal cancer as we speak. He had one request that hits me in the gut. Helplessness is the worst fight. And that's my side. His side is way worse. This song was the moment I knew life was changing. Not sure how it's gonna hit me later. I'm finding strength so many different ways and songs help me more than the words in them.
I know the feeling lost my dad, mom and two older brothers and several friends to cancer. God bless you and your dad
This was touching…. I lost my Mom when I was 12 and lost my Dad 6 years ago when I was 37, I tell people all the time that it doesn’t matter if you’re 6, 16 or 66, being an orphan sucks.
I love that song you should be here I think back a few years ago in 2017 I lost my dad both grandparents then my brother, then a cousin and four military brothers, due to suicide one military brother in a car wreck. That was basically suicide, one military brother and a boating accident, and then went through a rough divorce, kind of surprisingly all within less than 9 months in 2017 and only seeing my kids six times since 2017 I remember the first time hearing this song
I can completely relate to this topic. My mum passed after a long battle wth cancer. I was 19 & she was 48. Nine years later I lost my dad to a sudden heart attack. As I age, I’m troubled with the thoughts I didn’t get to know my mum but her passing brought my dad & I much closer. So much so that when he passed, I lost not only my father but my best friend, my confidant. I felt so alone and lost for many years. It’s been 35 & 27 years respectively since their passing & there are many, many times I wish they were here to talk to, ask advice or for them see what I’ve accomplish and what I’ve become. Hang in there boys. The pain lessens with time but for me never goes away. Take care & stay safe. Cheers
Dale Jr. thank you for this show
As someone who has been through losing people who you get to say goodbye to, and not, it does give more relief to have the chance to say goodbye.
That song gets me everytime since losing my dad.
I lost my dad in February of this year. And that song makes me think of him every time I hear it. It is one of my favorite songs to listen to even if it makes cry just about every time I hear it. To those of you that still have your parents around call them, spend as much time with them as you can and always tell them you love them because you never know when they will be taken from you.
Haven't listened to country radio for the most part of
20 yrs- I'll have to check this dude out - I'm more in to Robert Earl Keen than the Fla Georgia lines of the world...
Great show. Like DJr, Cole is a great dude…. Down to earth, normal people.
Heavy and sad commentary. We all go through this at one time or another, yet it seems to impact us differently yet the same.....it’s called life I suppose! Thanks for sharing guys.......heavy indeed! 😔
I know it's about losing his dad i relate to it in a different way in 2018 i lost my 3 year old son to cancer and it sure helped me
I lost my dad last March and its the toughest thing I've ever been through, Great video! What ever happened with Brad Arnold? I know you and him used to be friends just wondering..
losing someone close. no matter the time spent will
always feels like a six second ride, just a few seconds short of the paygate
Great Podcast, man.
Good talk.
Lost mine Feb 15- 2020 covid before we knew i think, and when im feeling bad I always think there's somebody in a worse situation than me, always. Put yourself in others shoes and that'd help the whole world.
LOST DAD DECEMBER 27 1994 HE WAS THE BEST I WAS 15 YEARS OLD.
That feeling for me is missing that phone call for advice
That’s as real as it gets. It messed me up to guys. Sky Rocket 🚀
Yep. Everything about this podcast is accurate.
Awesome content!!
Best thing about mom passing was telling her goodbye and I love you. My soon was yhe sudden death by getting a call in the morning that changes your like. Btw thats him in my profile pic
Jr. I'm soo sorry about your dad, and wish I could tell you and Mikey and Kenny that. but watching someone suffer(lost my dad, mom and two brothers to cancer so I know the feeling) Please if you have never done it, get all the Legal stuff done ahead of time. guys put this off but it is sooo great when you loose someone and know the funeral and the will and all that other stuff is taken care of hope your girls have you for a long long time
Yes first to like and comment lol literally just got done watching the birthday surprise short lmao

That song is a massive trigger.I've done alot of cool stuff in the last 20 years but it could've been so much better. He would've made an awesome co host on the podcast
Love this vid but you gotta get jr to talk about danny rick driving the ole number 3. Very cool i hope jr had some kind of hand in that.
Dads old number can go right along with that.
6,000 Songs?
Can we get a Dale Jr. radio playlist on Spotify ? Asking for a friend 🙄
insert heart emoji here 6min in
In my case, things are a lot different. My parents abused me severely. I am 59 years old, and I have quite a few scars to show the abuse. My father died back in 2009. I was SO happy, because of what he did to me. My mother is still living, she was the one that did the most abuse to me when I was a kid. I can't wait for her to die. I wish I would have had better parents. I went into the Marine Corps to get away from them. Which that wasn't any better but I did 8 years. But today I have helped so many people with their own lives that is what gives me pleasure in life. So when someone looses a parent or loved one I like to pray for them or just give them comfort. I think that is what everyone needs these days. Oh well that's my story and I am sticking to it. LOL. Y'all take care.
This Cole Trickle dude seems cool.
u should be here and luke bryans song drink a beer really hit me hard both my parents are gone now
So when is Daniel Riccardo gonna be on the Download 🤘
Kinda messed up my vision for a couple of minutes
Just a thought, Jr. Takes singing lessons and Cole and Jr. Do a duet
You loose your security. ❤
Lost My dad at 12. My mom at 18... I have had three death certificates made out with name date, no time... God has different plans for everyone.
