Yeah.
St. Xavier University, everybody.
All right.

I am Catholic, yes.
Oh, there you go.
Sixteen years of a Catholic school.
We're all Catholics on this.
We went to Catholic school on this stage.

And I will raise you up on eagle's wings.
Good luck finding the key on this, Bill.
All of them.
Yeah.
Yeah, can you?
You play us out with that, Bill.
So it's my first real concert, junior in college, trying to dress up all nice,
you know, look good for the time.
I drove my grandma's car, you know, the 1986 Chevy Mothmobile.
Oh, there you go, and that came with her friend.
Yeah, I'm like just out the door, and Graham's like, oh, Bruno called.
Could you pick him up?
Pick up Bruno.
Pick up Bruno.
Take him where, just with, or?
Bruno is Graham's friend.
She used to work with him.
Then they retired together and...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait on.
What kind of friends were that?
I don't know.
I just heard during the Blizzard of 69,
he would always, like...
It was a little questionable.
You know, there was a lot of snow that year.
During the Blizzard of 69.
Or 67, maybe.
I, I, yeah, it was blizzard of 69.
So they could be in the guy, Bruno.
Had a car.
And we drive real.
Jimmy quit.
Anyway, so I drive to Bruno's house.
Bruno walks to the car with his wife.
We're in the...
Well, Bruno's got a wife now?
What that hell is going?
Why not?
They never had kids.
Dude, it was the blizzard of 69.
I won't ask questions.
What happens in the blizzard of 69 stays there?
The winter of love.
My bad.
My bad.
So Bruno sits in the front seat.
His wife sits in the back seat.
I'm like, okay.
I want to go?
I'm going to go down the Grange.
If you take the Grange all the way down from my house,
you get to what, a Rosemont Horizon.
Except, like,
we're over this part where you can't really pull off and it looks like an expressway
except it's Friday night traffic bumper to bumper and his wife says from the backseat
I don't think he's with us anymore oh my god was she happy at that moment I don't think he's
with us anymore the crowned up cherry pits worked it's an arsenic joke it is yeah we're

Oh, sorry.
So then I'm pounding his chest like this as I'm driving.
Are you doing that?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, stay alive, stay alive.
Yes, I was.
Or what's the other one bites the dust is the other song.
You can do it too.
This guy's dead and he's pissed off right now.
Is he looking up at us?
He was a good guy.
He was, all right.
What's the heart now?
Good guy with a girlfriend and a wife.
Grandma had her dace.
Yeah, so the day before I started clinicals where you go to people's houses and do visits.
So grandma's like, you're going to get a car phone, a car phone.
So it was installed into the car, into the mothmobile.
Mothmobiles named that because she went to the cemetery and put mothballs so they wouldn't eat her flowers.
and the moth balls
how do you know
if it's
you know if it's a dude moth
how do you know if it's a dude moth
you look for the moth balls
you look for the moth balls
yeah gal she's
she's rocking and rolling here
that deserves a round of applause
first applause break on the show
right there gail
she's dying
up here I'm trying
here I am driving
there's nowhere to pull off, like, do chest.
What am I going to do?
Drag him out of the car and do chest compressions.
Probably, yeah.
Probably should stop driving.
Here's the most Midwestern thing I ever did
was stop at every freaking light
on the way to the hospital.
Well, you go ahead.
No, you go ahead.
I insist.
You were here first.
You've been dead for eight hours.
Well, I got caught up.
We were driving by,
John's house, so we thought we'd just stop in for a beer.
The E.C. was running, so he was good.
He was cold anyway, you know?
He was. I did a good job of that.
Cold to the touch.
So I pulled into the emergency room. They had been expecting me, because I used my car
phone to make the call, and they rushed out. They're like,
is he a DNR? I'm like, wait, I know what that means. I know
what that means. I'm like, no, no, it's not
a D&R. So, you know, they did everything. I'm like,
looking at my watch.
Okay, it starts at seven.
I didn't make it.
You didn't make it, neither did he.
Bruno did not make it either.
Is there a little bit of you wish you would have done
the weekend at Bernie's with Bruno at the concert?
Give him one last ride.
You know, just like, come on, Bruno, we're going.
Anyone got any sunglasses for him?
He met his own personal, Jesus.
What did you say,
He said he met his own personal Jesus
He didn't mean his own personal Jesus
Nice
You've been holding on to that one
So yeah, it was all good
But I did not make it, no
Was his wife upset though?
No
What was she doing during this?
And they had just had a conversation with me
Like, you know, when he dies
We're going to give you a lot of money
And they never did
You never got that money?
No
You didn't even get gas money?
Not even.
Oh, yeah, never even got gas money
You gotta be kidding me
Well, when it's their time to go
It's their time to go
You know? That's what they say
Well, and you never made it to the concert
But you did see the deadheads
Shut up
Wow, that's incredible
Yeah, well that's really good
Did Gail have anything else
She wanted to disclose for us here?
on the little list there, Miles?
Not unless she's going to think she wants to buy, sell, or trade, Joe.
Yeah, you got it. Did he have any? The Mothmobile?
The Mothmobile. What happened to it?
186.
1986 Mothmobile?
Yeah.
Still fresh.
Still fresh. No moss.
Ladies and gentlemen, give Gail a big round of applause.
Thank you, Gail. We appreciate you.
Oh, your son goes there.
Nice.
All right. Half hug. No hug.
I guess we could have figured that out.
It says you and D. Mom on her shirt.
Oh, yeah, you got the mom there.
There you go.
Ph.D. and meteorology.
All right.
He's a professional guesser, everyone.
There you go.
Look at that.
Did they only have to get 50% on their test to pass?
What was the name of the department?
Bruno.
Bruno.
went for a drive in her grandma's car
Bruno didn't look like he was doing great
Sure enough, we didn't get far
Oh, when I look back now
The stench it seemed the last thing
Now we're disrespecting Bruno
I can't wait till this song I did this only.
That was the worst day of mine.
So let's do cheers for Bruno.
To Bruno.
To Bruno.
Cheers.
Charlie, who do we got up next?
I mean, where the hell do we even go from there, Miles?
I think we go, we got...
We got, do we have a Ryan G in the audience tonight?
Ryan G.
Ladies and G's, where is our Ryan G?
Give him a big round of applause.
We didn't want you to come up here.
Ryan G. Bellion up to the bar.
Good to see you.
You got an old-fashioned going.
Almost.
What do you mean?
It's almost gone.
It's almost gone.
Can we get him a little up here?
Yeah, can we get Ryan G.
An old-fashioned up here?
Yeah, yeah.
You're not doing anything.
Yeah, you know, mine.
Yeah, use the bathroom.
Get them an old fashion.
Wash your hands, please.
Yeah, how do you like your old-fashioned?
The special of the night.
The special of the night?
It's the Wisconsin Old Fashion.
And I know what that is, but let's confirm.
Yeah, whether you like a sweet-sour-press.
I like it sweet.
He likes it sweet, an old-fashioned sweet with brandy.
That's perfect.
greet that in Boston. I don't know what that happens. Ryan G. Ladies and gentlemen, we had the
prompt relationship advice, and you said snippet or wrap it. Snippet or wrap it, Ryan G. All right,
let's take into this. Are you married? Are you married? Married? Two kids. Married two kids.
Four-year-old and a one-year-old. Four-year-old and a one-year-old. Okay. And that's it. That's it. Sounds like
Okay, sounds like a snippet or rapid situation.
What are the pros, what are the cons?
That's actually probably a good question.
I mean, are you a guy who goes to the...
Yeah, are you done having kids?
Did you do the same?
Oh, they're done having kids.
No, did you snip?
Not yet.
No, that's what he wants.
No, sniping.
Are you sick of going to Walgreens and pressing the button for the common?
They do make it so difficult.
They shouldn't make it difficult.
I mean, yeah, that's a time.
Are you scared of getting a vasectomy?
It doesn't exactly excite me.
No?
No.
I think if you get excited during a vasectomy, things could go wrong.
So you're supposed to keep it nice and shaved.
Have you shaved yet?
Yet?
Recently, no.
No?
Okay.
Lucky lady.
There you go.
He's got two kids.
You don't even have to worry about getting sniffing.
There's not much opportunity
which you get at this moment.
All right, there you go.
Okay, not much opportunity.
Kids take first and foremost.
You got a one-year-old.
There you go.
What's so bad about getting a vasectomy?
Don't you just get a couple days off of work
and you can just hang out at home and all of that?
Like if I take off work, I don't get paid.
So then that's kind of, I'm kind of my own boss.
So it doesn't work real well if you're self-employed.
What do you do?
You're self-employed?
Yeah, robots.
You do robots?
Oh, God.
How do you have two kids?
What do you do with the robots?
No, they're industrial robots.
They make stuff.
They're industrial robots.
Oh, shit.
This is the wrong guy to have up here, Charlie.
My paranoia about these robots is through the roof.
When are they going to kill us?
There was a point where I couldn't talk to Charlie three minutes without him having a crisis about robots.
I'm just saying they're going to kill us all.
What do we have?
Two years left?
No, no, no, no.
My robots are still programmed the same way.
they were programmed in the 80s.
Oh.
Robots right now?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no, wait.
Wait, wait.
No, we're not talking about robots.
Now we're, yeah, we're talking about robots.
All right, all right.
So the same robots you've been using in the 80s.
Do you make any, like, side robots, like, just for fun, do weird things?
I've seen that.
Yes.
Did your wife just say yes?
Who said that?
I think that's his wife.

on the way back to the hotel to get stuff.
Oh, well, first, like first overnight date?
Overnight date, overnight.

Not very lawyerly, I'll tell you that.

All right, all right.
We're gonna have a speed date, ladies and gentlemen, a speed date.
Welcome to the first building up live, speed dating.
Dating.
Have a seat.
Have a seat.
Side by side.
Side by side.
You get,
here,
give me this.
Rob, you sit here.
Rob, sit here.
Sit right here.
And I'm sorry,
what was your name again?
Kristen,
you sit there.
Okay.
You guys get,
you guys get three questions
a piece and,
uh,
go.
Ladies first.
What a gentleman.
Kids, dogs.
None and none.
I would much rather be around dogs than kids.
Okay, okay.
Next question.
Rob, Rob, you're up.
Funny guy, funny guy.
Does it hurt?
Did I fall from heaven?
Oh, I thought you were going.
It would be a sweetheart to me.
That's two questions, Kristen.
Why don't you finish up with your third?
Uh, what do you do for fun?
I love to travel and I love going to concerts and comedy shows and podcasts.
Oh, right. There we go.
You got a politician.
Yeah.
Nice.
Okay.
So my first question would be, who chose this show and why?
Oh, me.
100%.
That's what's up.
High five right there.
Here we go.
You say choose the show?
Yeah, who chose the show?
You should talk to my wife.
I got to do everything in decision land.
Well, I do all the decisions in my land.
But I drag these guys along with me.
Rob, do you do all the decisions in your land?
I'm single and I live alone, so hopefully.
There isn't a little voice telling me what to do.
That's good.
That's a big plus there.
That is good.
Mentally stable-ish?
Most of the time.
I've only had two Miller lights, so I'm in good shape right now.
Kristen, that was four questions, by the way.
Just keeping track.
Rob, go ahead.
You get another.
Cats or dogs?
Dogs.
All right.
You guys are both dog people.
You got two dogs.
It's like that how you guys are basing your relationships off.
It's just cats and dogs.
Well, it's that.
Okay, I'll ask the last one,
because I think what you should base a relationship on is what you hate.
So give me a pet peeve.
Jesus.
I did not answer this on the survey
because I got too many to put on there.
Chewing with your mouth open.
Huge pet peeve.
Rob's not in his saddle on.
If you also feel that way, let's do that as she lists them off.
All right, chew with your mouth open.
What else?
Another pet peeve, not taking responsibility for your own actions.
All right, Rob's not in his head along.
People don't love that one as much.
All right.
That concludes the speed date right here.
What do you think?
Is there going to be another date on the count of three?
Yes or no.
One, two, three.
At Sandy's yes.
Yes.
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match.
Right here.
Give Rob and Chris.
A big round of applause.
We got Rob a date.
We got Kristen a date.
You guys go down there exchange text messages.
No 2 a.m. text, Rob.
All right.
And then are we done with you?
Yes.
And give Ryan G. a big round of applause.
And his beautiful, lovely wife.
He's going to get the snippety-snip.
We are solving problems.
And I could have kept your glass there.
All right. Wait a second.
Did your shirt just say Bricked Up?
Come on up to the bar.
Get on up here.
All right. Well, what's your name?
Bricked Up. Where are you from?
My name is Nick, and I'm from the great city of Chicago.
Nick from Chicago. Give him a big round of applause. There you go.
Take that.
So, Nick, what do you do for a living?
I work at Wrigley Field.
Oh, what do you do at Wrigley Field?
Uh, I'm just, I'm a culinary supervisor for the small chival that's in the bleachers.
Oh, okay.
So, so you run a hot dog stand.
It's a fancy way of saying that.
Yeah, I, but, uh, fancy burgers.
Okay.
All right.

Uh, no, for, uh, how professional I am, I am chef.
You are chef.
I am the chef of...
Don't have a respect on his name, Charlie.
I didn't know we were dealing with that, Nick.
I apologize, chef.
Well, what's the secret sauce you guys put into those things?
Give us the little insight.
Spite and ignorance.
Spite and ignorance.
There you go, guys.
When you're getting undrunk at the ball game,
that's what's getting you there.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen at Wrigley Field?
Huh. So I guess seen is the key word here. I haven't seen, but I've had to fill out paperwork for folks having sex in the cooler.

Oh, this is a beautiful thing we have brewing here.
All right, Miles.
Yeah.
Is it time for the...
It's time for them to decide.
That's how the game works.
I mean, I don't think we need to do this
because I think it's pretty assumed
that they're going on a second day,
but three, two, one.
Yeah.
No.
No.
Oh, really?
Damn.
I'm sure you're a great guy.
You know what?

Maybe we should stick to the dating app.
Yeah, answer this question.
That's what you mean.
Oh.
Give me a two different things.
Two different things.
My ex-husband is 5'6, and I think I've learned my lesson with Short Guy.
Oh, come on, he's not short.
I was probably that big in, like, sixth grade.
This is a date, not a roast.
What else don't you like about him?
I didn't say I didn't like it.
I'm just stating facts.
Yeah, all right, your turn for the question.
What's your, like, favorite, like, brain dead day
where if you don't have to think about anything,
what are you doing?
If I mean, as a single guy,
uh.
Lotion and tissues don't count.
Get this guy a Juergen sponsorship, huh?
Oh, Dave.
My guy's bricked up.
I don't know.
If I had a girlfriend, just chill out, watch movies.
Okay, but you don't.
So what's your next five?
I just lock myself in my claws and just cry all day.
Okay, so we're the same person.
All right.
Because of this.
Second date. Second date. Second date.
Three, two, one.
No.
Yeah.
All right.
This has been wonderful, guys.
You can't find love, but you can find friends.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate you coming on.
You guys have been a lot of fun.
All right.
Wow.
Well, Miles, I think we learned a lot in doing that game.
You are not a good matchmaker.
No.
This is the segment I like to call Jerry Springer, Charlie.
That's what these two.
Bring your chairs.
You might want to throw them.
Right. Come on up here. There we go. So let's get to the bottom of this. What are your names? Where are you from?
Didn't let me play against the win for that guy.
I'm Maggie. I'm from Crystal Lake, Illinois. I'm a fib. I called on to your guys' show probably within the last year.
She said you had a chip on your shoulder, Charlie.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right there on your shoulder.
What did I have a chip? What did you bring?
bring up in this conversation
because I'm already on your husband's side
about this. Charlie remembers the conversation. He just
wants to catch everyone up to speed
correct? Yeah, that's exactly
it. I've had a few
people. Real quick, I do not like attention
so this is very uncomfortable. Oh, are you
all right? You're the one yelling at us from the front
road. Yeah, you came in the
front row. Those are two empty wine glasses. You'll be fine for a couple of
minutes. Yeah, okay. Here, have some beer.
Have some beer. I can't train beer. I
It just gave me the look of, like, see what I'm dealing with, guys.
All right.
So what's on your mind now?
So we didn't get to finish the conversation because I was on hold for a very long time.
Miles's fault.
And no.
And I was like, Miles, you know, sorry, this is, you know, about Charlie.
And you're like, no, I want to hear this.
Like, I love this.
And so I was like, Charlie, what's a big chip on your shoulder about Phibs?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember this.
I remember this.
And then he went to go to the whole show.
Yeah, I do.
You do.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, you know, we went on.
I was very nervous, and so I didn't get everything out that I wanted to say.
Okay.
Well, now that you've had two glasses of wine, what else was on your mind?
I was so nervous when you guys answered.
I was like, um, am I on?
And you guys are like, yeah, hey, whatever.
And I'm like, don't get it, don't I get a like heads up or whatever?
like you know you're the next one and like you know whatever okay blah blah yeah okay so uh
you're doing great you're doing great just speak what's on your mind it's just you and me here
okay okay so you said that um you know people from illinois are you know okay but they're a little bit
different okay yeah sorry
So I wanted to say, but I was nervous, what about some people from Wisconsin?
Oh, we're very different.
Yes.
Yeah, we got our issues.
What about like Stephen Avery?
Oh, damn.
You're bringing up our shit.
Hey, that's, yeah.
You can't bring up our serial killers.
The Slender Man, girls.
Which one?
The Slender Man.
Yeah, you go Wikipedia.
all the serial killers
from Wisconsin. Charlie, this is
what happened. She got off the phone with you
and she was like
Miles. I'm going to
get it back. I don't know how long
it's going to take. Is that
what she was doing?
And Netflix.
How many murder podcasts do you listen to?
A lot. Yeah.
And there, guys. I love
Doesn't Charlie look just like Jeffrey Dahmer?
Yes.
I mean, come on.
Yeah.
I just got a pair of glasses real quick.
It's unpanning.
You know.
So I didn't get to get that into the conversation because I was like super nervous.
Yeah.
Like I said.
You were nervous.
Yes.
Oh, yeah?
So I'm bringing it up now.
Do I make you nervous?
Is that the deal now?
No, no.
You don't make you nervous.
Don't be strange now.
That's my best serial killer voice.
What?
Is it make you nervous now?
you know what? You know what? You know what? I do have some resemblance to the guy. I'll give you that. Okay. Like, it just, you know, like I was walking down the street of Los Angeles when I sat there. I was very polite. I was saying hi to everyone I met. Like, hey there, how are you? Nice to see it. Did they say hi back? No. The only thing they said is that guy looks like Jeffrey Dahmer.
All right.
So what do you think it's like walking around in this world with this face, okay?
Wouldn't that freaking Netflix special came out?
I mean, what am I supposed to do?
You guys can tell he's very self-conscious about this.
So he hit a nerve.
Yeah, and now you're going to bring it up in front of all these people.
Yeah, you brought that.
Go play us that song.
Play us at some.
He does have a lot of meat.
And the other two.
Stephen Avery and the Splendor Girls or whatever they were coming up.
Stephen Avery and the Splendor guy, killer, girl, or what, oh, the girls, yeah.
So, there are some weird people that come from Wisconsin, too.
I'm not saying, like, there's not weird people that come from Illinois, too.
You're not saying, like, serial killers come from Wisconsin.
Yeah, I mean.
What happens is, uh...
No, you're not.
You know?
I thought you were telling me to stop.
No, no, no, no.
I got this, dude.
I don't need your help.
And again, I feel your pain.
I think I've heard your deal now.
I'd like to bring your husband into this because I need some backup, all right?
What's going on with the garage that you are so upset with the garage that you're putting all...
You're changing the subject?
I am absolutely...
I'm pivoting this like Kelly and Comway on CNN, all right?
I am doing the zippity dood.
Let's talk about something else now.
What the hell's going on with the garage?
Oh, he's got a mic.
You can also have a mic.
You don't want to sit in the hot seat anymore, huh?
No, okay, have a seat.
What's going on with the garage?
There's two kids.
They both have bikes and scooters and baseball bags and everything else
and takes up a lot of room.
And when stuff does get put away, like, let's say, measuring tapes,
screwdrivers, there's a drawer that they're supposed to go in.
Some people, they just put it on top of the cover.
The one trying to look for it, because they had funny kids,
they didn't put it in half.
He was pointing at you when he said something.
people by the way so what's your rebuttal just put it away otherwise i won't throw it away
put it away otherwise i won't throw it away okay did you say or i will throw it away
yeah put it away or yes yes yes my mom has the same policy i haven't lived with her in like two years
our future here.
So back to
the deadline, so she says she wants that
if she ever ends up on dayline
she thinks that something might happen to her.
But reality is, like,
remember this face?
She might be
the subject of it.
Oh, I see.
I was going to say it's usually the husband.
My mom's always like, and it's a husband.
80% of the time it's a husband.
80% of the time it's a husband. And it's
cheating. So not to
interrupt you. Sorry, it's your show. No, it's your show right now. No, it's not. Sorry.
If I die of like weird circumstances, please do a date line of 2020 special on me.
I feel like you're begging for this to happen. I feel, you both think each other is going to
murder the other person. And that's marriage, isn't it, you know?
Give them a big round of applause, you guys.
Thank you.
You did real good.
Yes.
All right.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, on that note, this has been your next episode, your second episode of Bellied Up Live.
