Oh Miles Charlie guess what buddy. We're back. It's your favorite time of the year Spooky season Halloween now. I know a few episodes back I jumped the gun. I asked you what you were gonna be for Halloween You're like it's too early for this and you were right, but now I'm wondering if in the past few weeks You sort of softened up on the Halloween costumes. I'm wondering if in the past few weeks you've sort of softened up on the Halloween costumes. I'm wondering if you and Anne have nice little couples costume idea. Yes I do actually. What is it? We are going to go as Farts. As Farts? Yeah

there was a kid that went as a fart for Halloween. Let me see what that looks like. I'll show you. It's loading, loading this part. Wow, that looks like a fart. Ha ha ha. So basically the mom, show the camera. If it, you know, you'll blow it up.

So basically this kid, it looks like he's just wearing a giant like Lufa, you know, the thing in the shower. No. Right. I'm saying that. Yeah. It's all the little squ- little- looks like that. I didn't know that was called a Lufa dude. Yeah. So it looks like you just wear a giant Lufa that's got brown, green, and tan colors in it. And the icing on the cake is, he's got a like a megaphone. Yeah, I see that. And guessing has fart noises on it. Or he just right up to his face. Yeah. Um, you should be a Taco Bell fart and pull a little orange in there. Okay. Um, miles, that's super cool. Hey, now this actually raised another question. Two questions. First of all, do you use a lufa? No, I do not. Does

Ann. There's a lot of talk that those things are actually not very hygienic. Lufas? Yeah. Why? Because it just keeps collecting germs and it never really gets. Wait, you can Google it. I don't know. I'm not an expert on lufas. You got to clean your lufa. Yeah, but they say like if you were to take an old one and cut it open, it's actually kind of disgusting. Oh, really? Yeah. That's why I use my hands.

That's why you use it as a fart for a long time. Yeah. Is Ann on board with this idea? I think she's the one that sent me that. So I think so. You know, you found the right gal when she sent in your memes about dressing up as Farts for Halloween. You know, Charlie?

Are you gonna sex it up or you can be a sexy fart or just like? I might. Like a poop. Yeah, maybe showing a little nip. There you go. Do a little nip slip in the fart costume. Put a little, maybe a deep V fart costume for Halloween.

Yeah, I like that. We'll taco meat. Yeah. Put a little taco meat costume for Halloween. Yeah, I like that. It will taco me. Yeah. Put a little taco meat on that fart. Yeah. Put a little nip on that fart. Mm-hmm. I mean, you're gonna do for Halloween.

Have you figured it out? I'm still thinking, Miles. What's something for Halloween? Even if it's like too elaborate that you probably won't ever do it, what's something you've always wanted to be for Halloween that you've never done? Always wanted to be. I've always wanted to be a green bay packer. I want the shoulder pads and the real authentic helmet and the knee pads and the pants and the socks. I'm going to be honest, folks. That seems more attainable than ever

considering that you know people at the packers. I know. Maybe I should make a call. Yeah. That's a really good idea. You want an authentic uniform. What number are you going for? Well, my number was 84. Went back in my heyday. So I would think 84. Is there any one 84 right now that plays? Yeah, I think so. Hang on anyone 84 right now that plays? Yeah, I think so. Hang on, who is 84? Now I'm drawing a blank. Actually, back in the day, I'll tell you this much.

Back in the day, my favorite, now Randy Moss was 84 on the Vikings, which was not like what I wanted. But back in the day, my favorite, my favorite packer to ever wear the number 84 was Sterling Sharp. Oh yeah. And Sterling Sharp, I watched his last game. He went out and he got this pass.

And I think they were playing the Buccaneers or the Succaneers, I called them from that day forward. They tackled them bad and And then he was done. Mm, sucked. It was a sad ending. So Tyler Davis is number eight. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shoot, I should have known that.

Good to learn. Yeah, you can get your Tyler Davis uniform on. That'd be cool. But I want my uniform to say parents. OK, well, Tyler Davis wears 84. So pick a different number. I want a custom one. I'm sure we can get that done for you.

Maybe that was my dream miles. I wanted to be a green Bay Packer. Anyway, folks, we got a good episode for you. Yeah, we'll take some callers. Your eyes? No, I was just getting emotional for the camera comedically. And then oh, yeah, I mean, mean that was never gonna happen, Charlie.

Yeah. Your parents didn't let you know that at Burley at pretty early on? They did. They said you can't catch that good and you're kinda slow. But I was really fast for a while though, Miles. Somewhere along the way, I lost it. We weren't we all. We're not. Yeah.

Well, Charlie, should we take some collars? I don't know why we wouldn't miles Folks Halloween is almost here and what is the scariest part of Halloween not the goblins not the goobers Not the werewolves not the vampires not the creepy crawlies the Squeezels the things that lurking linger in the night miles. What is the scariest thing about Halloween? An empty glass of tippy cow Charlie. I can't think of anything scarier than that. Not all the cools and all the land. The scariest thing you could ever have is an empty bottle of tippy cow. I ran out of breath on that sound effect, but yeah, I agree.

It's not gonna be right. Scary as heck. Don't let this be too scary of a hell-wing for you. Get yourself stocked up on a bottle of tippy cow. And if you find a trick or treater that's over 21, don't put that in there. Anyway folks. If you find yourself not having any trick or treaters,

it's okay. Just tip on back a glass of Tippy Cow and enjoy your nice Halloween. Mm-hmm. Tippy on back, Tippy Cow. Welcome to the Belly Up Podcast. Who do we got on the line? Hello, you got Casey and Omaha Nebraska.

Casey from Omaha, Nebraska. What's going on today? Oh, just another work day gentlemen. Where are we working at? All right, we're getting a new station downtown. Well, what are you doing? I was in the news biz for a while. What's your job? I am a marketing consultant and actually I work with somebody that worked with you down in Texas. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Who do you work with? A guy by the name of Jeff. I'm not sure if you want to believe out the last name or not. Yeah. Jeff Warnlow. Oh, no kidding. Tell Jeff I says hi. How's he doing? We'll do.

He's doing well. He moved up here. About a year ago now, everything. Oh, real good. What does he have to say about charlie well he doesn't i don't think that they hung out that much but i will say that he thinks that you're really funny and that we bought it over that

he actually caught me listening to your guys's podcast nice and he says i remember that guy he got relieved of his job at the station. I worked at. Oh God. That's exactly what he said. So well, no, no, no, no, do tell Jeff. I says high. That's a nice little blast from the past. What's on your mind? What's on your mind, Casey? Well, me and my fiance are starting to look at houses. Okay. Now, there are certain things that I'm not willing to give up. And we started talking about, you know, well, I mean, what do you want in a house? And, you know, I need a garage. Yeah. Need a garage, especially for those golf all size tail.

Hell yeah. And we've gone to the topic of grass and she started talking about, oh well, there are better, you know, more environmentally friendly options for the front yard. And I put my foot down on the regular grass. You put it right down on that graph? Put it right down on the graph and I said there's, I'm not compromising on that. So then we started getting an argument and such about that and I realized I don't really have that many good arguments for it besides I want it. Yeah.

arguments for it besides I want it. Yeah. Okay. I know exactly what you're talking about. I've had the and I get it. I get that maybe a front yard full of natural flowers and clover and all of that stuff. Maybe a little more environmentally friendly, but I will have to say, have you ever stood on your front porch and looked out at a magical perfectly groomed, striped lawn before? There's just, you just can't beat that feeling. You can't beat the smell of fresh cut grass. You just can't beat being the game of lawns champion in your neighborhood and having bright and brights for an entire winter. You just can't beat all of that.

I understand the other implications with it, but you can't beat that feeling. You know what? You know what? You know what? You know what? can't beat all of that. I understand the other implications with it, but you can't beat that feeling. You know what? Well, and I, no go ahead, no, you go ahead after you. I insist. Well, I grew up with my father being quite religious about his long care. And he was a guy known on the block for having the best lawn. And I feel like I have to to it is my responsibility to carry it down the bloodline yeah you have a duty as the sun to ensure that that legacy lives on

kacy kacy i hear you miles i hear you but i'm on your fiance side and I got a few reasons why. Obviously, you got your environment to impact. I want to set those aside for a second and look at the history of lawns. Do you know where we get lawns from? We got them from the British. We did not have any lawns over here and they were all pulled over from the British and you

know why the Brits used guns. It was a status symbol. It was a way to add inches to your brat work. Exactly. Yeah, but no, exactly. We did not nail on the head. We did not fight. You need to show that you have the best lawn in the name run.

We. It's all about your overcompensating is what you're doing. We did not fight the British in the Revolutionary War to take their dumbass lawns. Okay. I tell you that. And listen, I got a lot of animosity, stupid lawns because I grew up one of my first jobs. I was a lawn guy. Okay. And I, I had a lot of lawns on the block and I always got guffer leaving the grass clippings on and and cutting in circles and none of it frickin matters, okay? Put yourself some clover, that stuff don't grow, you barely have to cut it. Who cares

about the lines? Also, I mean, you can grow food on that same deal. And then you think about this, you got to pay for the fertilizers, pay for the chemicals. You know, like for what? For I mean, you can grow food on that same deal. And then you think about this, you gotta pay for the fertilizers, pay for the chemicals. You know, like for what, for dandelions? You're trading free flowers on your lawn for, you know, cancer chemicals in your water, you know? All right.

That's my thought right there, Casey. It's time to break the deal, okay? We're not trying to be, you know, the British. We fought a war so we didn't have to be. Get rid of the lawn, that's what I say. Okay, Charlie, that being said, you have hobbies, right? I got hobbies.

What if someone told you that bird watching was dumb and the British used to bird wash, and we fought a war, so we wouldn't have to bird watch anymore. How would you feel about that? But we didn't, Miles. And you don't know that. You cannot say that they didn't bird watch. Miles, everybody's looking at birds, okay?

Every single person that's smart is looking at them birdies. Because the birds know, the bird, you think, hey, hey, speaking of birds, you think the birds got a little on outside their nest huh yeah my line I'm just saying exactly exactly so much easier so much easier not to care but you're missing the point the point is is he wants something to be able to care about and do in his free time he enjoys manicuring a lawn and striping it and all of that.

Listen, you know what, Casey, if you like it, if you like it, go on, do it. There is room, I think, for people who like to do their lawn, to do their lawn. But if you're just doing it because everyone else is doing it, you don't have to do that. And I just gave you a good argument for not doing it. Well, I'm just here. You know about his family legacy, Charlie. You haven't even talked about his family legacy. Just imagine.

Do you want him to someday, hopefully far in the future? He parishes. He goes in the ground. There's a headstone here. And it says, here lies the guy who did not carry out his family legacy. Do you want him to go to eternity with that on his headstone? He's just got weeds all over his headstone.

You know what? I'm finally that, what if Casey, have you ever talked to your dad about why he did the lawn the way he did? Maybe he was just doing it because he thought he had to. And he, you know, maybe you could tell him, it's just a holdover from the frickin' funny teeth brits, you know, maybe you could tell him it's just a holdover from the frickin funny teeth brits, you know, and then he'll finally like go of that urge to manicure a lawn for what? For who?

If it's not for you to... Well, I'm pretty confident. I know why he manicured the lawn and that is to get away from myself and my little sister and my mom. He goes, I'm going to go mow the lawn. Exactly. Well, if that's the reason there's a lot of other stuff you can do in the lawn that takes more time than mowing it. What, Charlie? Like what?

Well, you can get yourself a nice little garden, like I said, or you can put some native plants in there, you can get a nice tree going, you can climb the tree and say, I'm just trimming the branches, but you're not. So here's my question. Another one followed up, Charlie. What are the neighbors going to think? Because, just because you think that having all of these weeds and natural flowers and this and that, you see it as a mating ground for all sorts of wildlife.

Bees. Your neighbors may look at it and see that it maybe looks a little trashy. Well, if the neighbor is like logic, you can put it to a mic this. If I know anything about neighbors, they're not great with logic. Do you like food? Do you guys like food? Miles the, do you guys like food? Miles, Casey, you guys like food? Yes, Charlie.

Yeah. Absolutely. Okay, well in order to have food, you know, think about our farmers. Our farmers need bees. Bees are the natural pollinator, the cheapest pollinator we have. You know what kills the bees? Wands. Because you've got this monoculture of this pesticide cocktail thing

It's killing the bees and we need the bees Look it up. That's a big thing. We are killing the bees for these dumb ass ones and Then therefore we need to buy more bees import them a lot of them are dying anyway We need the bees. We need the ones. We need the birds. Charlie, and to that, I say, as our boy, William Joel once said, we didn't start the fire. Okay. It's been always burning since the world's been turning. So why not fan the flames, Miles?

That's what you're saying. You're just, you're fan in the flames. Him not having him. Having a natural lawn out front is not going to change everyone else. Nothing natural about. Oh, I see. If he were, if his wife were to get her way on this, sure, it

do. Who else? It's just not going to change. Well, that's one opinion. Miles, the other opinion is Casey. You could start a revolution down there, you know? And one person sees and goes, oh, I really like them flowering things. Oh my gosh, he's got tomatoes, right?

And he's going, doesn't have to go to the grocery store. He's just bringing them tomatoes right in. He's got sunflowers. That's a freaking cool yard. He's going to plant sunflowers. Sunflowers? Yeah, dude, sun some flowers are great. Are you kidding me? They you know they're great equalizer in your garden. They suck the toxic. You know what's gonna happen anyways? You live in Omaha, right?

Yes, sir good Midwestern city good Midwestern neighbors someone's gonna see this in this good Midwestern neighbors. Someone's gonna see this natural lawn that you guys put in and they're gonna be like oh his mower must be broken and then he's gonna come over and just mow it all down anyways. That probably will happen. But no, I mean you just you know what you do? You put a big sign up there and says I'm not lazy. This is my wife. My wife was just withholding sex. So here we are. I think you just, I've been thinking. Yeah. Either, either way, I'm going to have a garden in the back. So that's good. That's good. That already, that already takes care of that because I'm definitely going to be growing some fruits

and veggies and all that, but I just need that nice front lawn and I'm putting my foot down on it. Can you compromise on that Charlie maybe do what you're talking in the back and then I sub front? You know, like, look, I'm just saying, if you want your lawn, what am I going to do? Tell you no? I'm not saying you have been this whole time. No, I'm giving you another option.

I'm saying we don't have to be like the British's bitch with these lawns, okay? I'm just saying, it's, you know, to me when I see a big lawn, I'm gonna be honest with you, I see the same thing that I see when, you know, a Honda, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I don't get like... Well, now can I tell you this? It's called a spade, a spade here. And what else are we supposed to do? I tell you what else you're supposed to do.

You're trying to add inches to it. So grow a phallic symbol. Lons are not phallic symbols. You keep cutting them down to shrinkage. What you want to do is get get yourself a nice deal Sunflowers in there corn you can even do You get get yourself a three-tier system you get well then you if you put corn and sunflowers in there Then you got problems with the city because it's not zoned as eggland

But that's what no it doesn't have to be zone and these zoning ones are bullshit Who makes a zoning was up? No, I remember we had a trailer in our yard and some jerk off over at the city like called and said you can't have a trailer in your yard That how are you talking about you can't have a trailer in your yard, dude? How am I supposed to move this crap? You know you got to be able to have a trailer in your yard You got to be able to have have something that actually makes sense in your yard. Have some food in there. Okay, okay.

I understand, Charlie. I want you to paint a picture for the listeners. What your front lawn looks like. My front lawn is just whatever grew there. I don't put anything on it. It's, it's, it's, what would you say that there is grass out front there is. And how many sunflowers and corn do you have out front of your house? No, no, front.

You have sunflowers and corn in the back. Uh, no. Okay. Well, this might be a practice what you preach here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, back it up. Don't know what I have is low maintenance. One, it gets mode probably I would say three to four times a summer because it honestly we didn't get a we don't get a lot of water really and it's just

it's a very small on first of all. It's like a little patch. So no, I haven't done that. I don't enjoy working in my yard. But if I did, I do something like that. But the lawn is very low maintenance. Yeah, you're saying that your version is low maintenance though. I am because there's, it's like clover, there's weeds all over the place. It is what it is. Well grows there, grows there. I think you can also do that to a very low maintenance yard. You know, where you just don't do anything to it. I don't, I have no problem with just lawn, just grass sitting there. I just have a problem with like, you know, I wouldn't ever fertilize it because who gives a shit. And also all that phosphorus just runs off into the waterways, you know, and then you get this blue green

algae, you know. So yeah, that's another option. There are many options. You don't have to go the full native plants whatever But yeah Okay, miles doesn't buy this. What's wrong with that miles? I'm just saying there's a lot of talks Bash in the lawn when you got one sitting out right in front of your door I got a low maintenance one. There's no problems with low maintenance neglecting the lawn doesn't make it low maintenance. It actually does.

It very much. It does neglect your lawns. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I own the house, you know, and you own your house and you can do whatever you want with it. I'm just trying to give people alternatives to, you know, I think the last thing I'll say is I would just if you're, you know, still a deadlock in the conversation with your wife, just say, okay, we can put in the low maintenance lawn for you. But then

I'm going to be spending a lot more time inside bothering you the whole day. So which one do you want? She's got, she's going to buy him a lawnmower. She's going to buy him one of them. That's what I'm saying. I'm on lawnmowers. Yeah well there's one way that people can stay married, Charlie, and that's doing yard work. Okay? I agree with you on that. It's a couple's therapy if I've ever heard one. I agree with you on that, Miles. There's just there's a lot that you can do out there in the yard that I'm just saying, but you don't like ones, don't feel like you got a goalful and goalful board. And if you like that, hell, who might a judge, you know, who might a judge? I'm just trying to offer alternative.

What do you think, do you think Charlie's got a case? Yeah, I would say there are some good arguments on both sides, but I think that's got a case. Yeah, I would say there are some good arguments on both sides, but I think that I'd rather have a British flag on my front lawn with a nice lawn. Oh my God. Oh my God. Mine's still delivered. All right, you fell as well.

You heard it out, KC. We appreciate you just bearing with us. And good luck to you guys. When are you getting married? Oh, we don't know yet. Further down the road. Further down the road. All right. We got to resolve this lawnish first. Yeah. Yeah. We got to see how that works out first. Well, enjoy the engagement, my man. It's very exciting for the both of you. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. All right, we talk soon now.

Have a good day, gentlemen. You too, bye-bye. Charlie, I'm gonna be honest. Yeah. If you are a speech teacher at a high school or college, they should just take that segment and play it for the class and go, this is how you debate in 2023. Right?

We were fair to each other. We were. We both brought up great points. We did. The guy even said he could see your side of it, even though when he started, he had no idea. Yeah. And I won.

So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So I won. So. So. But just think Charlie, if more people were having debates like we just had just rational conversation, rational conversations, and still cheers at the end of it. No, it's too worked up. You don't make it too emotional. We'll be a better place, it would be let's solve another problem shall we yep welcome to the belly to podcast who we got on the horn Amber Amber where are you at West Texas okay I heard you got some tough weather out in West Texas. That hold up true?

It is very dry. I actually grew up in the Midwest. So it was quite a change moving out here. The wind blows all the time. And it's like so flippin' hot all the time. Yeah. Why'd you move? My job.

I moved here for my job. What do you do? I do research and cotton. So I used to do working, so I've been, and then just got bored and so I've been so I've just I've become working cotton. Switch teams to cotton that way Amber. Well, why don't you belly up to the bar with us tell us what's going on.

So our sign or oldest son started kindergarten this year and he is quite the handful. And I actually told him that if he could keep out of the principal's office within the first month, the school, I'd give him $100. And he's gotten pretty close to going several times. And the months up, he hasn't gone, but it hasn't been a great ride getting there. Like he was gotten a fight with a kid the other day and the teacher didn't like see it. Like I really don't know whether or not to do $100 or if I should like hold

out another month. Well let me tell you this. Senator you teaching him. Yeah. Yeah. You better pay him $100 because he has broad as teacher with $50 not to send him to the principal's office So I Said to like teach the kindergartener how to like go to confession already. Oh Yeah, he's a Catholic, huh And how old are kindergartners is I wish and Catholic so I wish and Catholic yeah, wow How old is kindergartners? I was in Catholic. I was in Catholic. Yeah, wow.

How old is kindergartners now? He's fine. He's actually the youngest in his class, which I think is probably most of the problem. He's youngest in his class or oldest in his class. The youngest. So what kind of ram bucks your behavior as you get into? Like, um, swinging his lunchbox and hitting his classmates

in the lunch line and then like, you get some trouble and have to go sit by himself. He just like sits there and laughs obnoxiously. And then, um, he was taking his buddy shoes and they were playing football with him in the classroom. And then he like refused to do his schoolwork. And on the same day, like of this like football shoe incident, he was like playing frogger in the classroom instead of doing a coursework. Is his name Dylan? No it's Wyatt. Wyatt? Well Wyatt also sounds like a kiddy-be-doin. Yeah sounds like an outlaw to me.

You should have thought about it before you named your kid Wyatt. I hate to tell you Amber. I mean we kind of of named the raster Wyatt Earth. So I guess we did kind of earn it. I mean, his dad was also a red bed. So I mean, I really did it. So okay, this doesn't sound that bad. What kind of cupcake kindergarten are you sending them to? Yeah, and I'll say this in defense of Wyatt. He's playing football with shoes that kind of makes sense. If you think of foot and a ball, a shoe is the closest thing to a football if you're thinking about it logically.

So I could see that. And also, I mean, he sounds like he's kind of, other students got to be laughing. Yeah, he's kind of the, he's got to be the class clown is what it sounds like. And Char and Char is proving you can make a living off of being the class clown. Sure, Ken. Well, I think he actually is picked on a little bit because I think they call him a baby. He's come home a couple of times like saying like the kids don't like to play with him and they like to call him a baby. So, I feel like a conflicting kind of thing now. Well, you know what? So he

was a little shithead when he was like in daycare. Yeah. I was like a parent, but I was like kind of one of the other kids to like pick on him for a chance. Like there for a while there was this little kid named Samson and it was literally we had to like ingrowness in his head like it was his mantra like do not hit Samson and he would just like sit in his car seat on the way to daycare and he would just tell himself do not hit Samson, do not hit Samson. I think he would go and it would be like he'd be wrestling with his own thoughts of whether he's not the his is kid or not and he would just tell himself do not hit Samson and then he'd go and plow the kid into the wall. Well, you didn't say anything about plowing in that affirmation you gave him. Yeah, I mean, in no way she performed our Charlie and I

behavior specialist here. But again, you went to school, I imagine. Did you go to kindergarten as well? I mean, I did, but it was back in the day when kindergarten was a half a day, huh? Whole day. Well, one there you go. Like pretty fucking boring. If you ask me school is so. Do school work or play football with the shoe? Why did you say? So he's in kindergarten. It's like the first week of school,

he didn't even know how to write his name, and they're already teaching them how to read. Does he know how to write his name yet? Now he does. Now he does. He's gotten enough read. My husband and I got enough trouble with the kindergarten teacher,

with the kindergarten teacher. Like she's been paper's home. He needs to learn how to write his name. So then we had to like, sorry buddy. You can't go playing the mud, but we have to learn how to write your name. Isn't that their job though? What the heck?

What are you doing? What's the point of it? Yeah, that's what I thought too. Tang. So yeah, is why it an only child? No, he has a little brother. Is the same way with the little brother? Is he the same way with the little brother?

He's way worse. You like wax his back in the head with sticks. I mean, I know this is like fairly normal, but I was like the good child, so I was the one that didn't like getting in trouble. So for me, I'm like, I don't know how to handle him because I was the good kid afraid of getting in trouble

and I am paying penance for my husband's raising. Well, I was gonna say, I mean, I don't want to put this all on your kid. You did choose your husband. And I think you may or may not have known you were going to get a 50 50 shot on someone like your husband, which it sounds like he was also Ram Bunches and someone like you who is kind of a goodie two shoes. I wasn't a goodie two shoes. I just, I got in trouble for my brother getting in trouble.

Because I was the older one. So it's like, I don't need to get in trouble myself. I get enough trouble for him getting in trouble. Well, actually, my brother, he passed away like 15 years ago. Oh, I'm sorry about that. No, it's okay. No, it's okay. It's accident happened. Yeah, well, no, that's no, don't worry about it. It's let me tell you that he's in a much better place and down here on Earth dealing with all the nonsense we have to deal with. Yeah, there's no shortage of nonsense here. It's not going to get a lunchbox to the lunchbox to the noggin, you know?

No, no, no. No, I mean, honestly, I think he's got enough of my brother's not like foolishness. I come from a little bit of a josh or but my grandpa can really put it to you. So I mean, it is, I guess partially me. It is genetic 50, 50, right? Could run in the blood. All right. Well, so you got a hell raise your why and you don't know what to do with them.

So what does he like to do? We've told us about the stuff that he doesn't want to do. He doesn't want to read and write. He doesn't want to go to school What does he like to do? Ride tractors play with LEGOs hot wheels ride horses play with cows. We live in a farm Sounds like everything outside like cows, we live in a farm. Sounds like everything outside, kid. Yeah, I mean, it sounds like you just imagine having all of that at your disposal, the fun stuff,

and then having to go sitting in a classroom for a whole day. It's kind of tough. I know, but it's like, we didn't move district we're in because we wanted to be in the school district It just happened to be like we had animals and it was like tough pick-ins when we moved during COVID They were like, ah, this is available. Okay, great. They have a good school. Let's go and it's like Heaven forbid he like try his shoes wrong having for bed, he like try his shoes wrong. Or a little picky.

Oh, they're picky. So maybe you think he's he's at home, he's amongst the animals. At the farm, he's used to one way, a living and then all the sun, they start pretending like the way you tie your shoes is actually important. So you think maybe it's a school's problem? I don't know. I mean, I just felt like heck, it's Texas. Like they raised like rough and already kids that like run around wanting to play baseball and football all the time. But now that's just like they tend to be a little bit more

particular than I thought they would be. I mean, I grew up in the Midwest. It's like they're just typically happy that in Missouri, like they're happy that you show up with shoes on your feet. and Missouri, they're happy that you show up with shoes on your feet. And you're there to learn. So I guess I just guessed this area wrong. Yeah. Well, you know, I think that a lot of times kids grow out of this stuff. And I think to answer your first question, you should probably pay them the hundo. He does have to pay some people off. That's for sure. What is he going to buy with that money, you think? More Legos, a chicken

law, a hundred bucks is going to follow the Legos these days. If he plans on who influences him, well, who would be influencing him? Well, if it were me, I would tell him he needs to put in his piggy bank. If it were his dad, he and his dad would be figuring out how to like buy some antique truck really cheap to like put it together. Yeah. They want to have this single dream for like this. 1977 he's modeled forward, put a to drive around the farm. Well, it sounds like he's got a lot of admiration

for his dad. Yeah, what is his dad think about all this? I don't know. Some ways I think he thinks it's funny because it's fairly tame to let he to like pick my husband got kicked out of daycare and like a week. So I think he's kind the kind of comical. Yeah, so here's what you. I not I would start working on the husband here. I'd start working on his dad and saying, all right, yes, you could think it's funny when we're alone and all that, but in front of them, you got to start putting the foot down and letting them know that that's not okay.

Because he looks up to him, I imagine. He does. I mean, granted, my husband, he's really great. And when I kind of give him the look, like, come on, I can't be bad here all the time. I can't help. It's like, the dad just has to give the disappointed look and it's like the kid kind of knows like I kind of messed up but But I just I think he's just preoccupied with horses and football Yeah, I mean he sounds like a kid. Yeah, it sounds like I mean, is he the worst one in the class?

Yes, not even a hesitation there. But you got to remember, as my buddy William Joel once said, we didn't start the fire. It's always been burning since the world's eternal. Yeah, well, I hear you. I have to say so my husband actually figured this out that he was probably the worst one. I think possibly in the entire kindergarten because the other day we actually had, like we instead of sending to after school care, like my husband had to go pick them up in the car line and he

didn't have like the name tag. You're supposed to put on the dash. So he rolls the window down and it's the gym teacher that like checks the kids out. And my husband just goes, I'm here to take up Wyatt and the teacher goes, Wyatt has been like Miss Carson's class wire and as he adds, you're like, what is a handful? I go, I go, I go. Now I will have to say that kids who are handfuls as kids go up to be the adults that end up paving their own path in my opinion. So it's not always bad, then it doesn't become someone

who takes, you know, shit from anybody once he gets older, which can be a good positive trait to have. Yeah, he could be a real good pavor one day. Construction. Well, he didn't just like you guys, right? Yeah, I mean, he could find himself in a bar on a Monday through Thursday, just drink it and talk into people. That could be it.

through Thursday just drinking and talking to people. That could be it. You ever think about tiring the boy out before school? You know, wake him up at 5 a.m. and say, go run him around with the chickens. Yeah, give him more chores. Yeah. Have a- No, I mean, I don't do it in first thing in the morning,

but when he really gets like, grandbunctions on the weekends, I do make him we we put we asked him to pretend that he was sonic and and have him run laps around the house. That's a good idea. Bradford, you're for punishment. Yeah, I think you have him go outside and chase a chicken every morning before school, tire him out, get him, you know, get those endorphins going he's feeling, you know, a little bit

more chill, a little bit more relaxed. I think you just got to run him. Kids are a lot like dogs, you just got to take him on a walk. I don't have any kids by the way, I'm divorced. So. Well, I know that Charlie was trying not to bring that up, you did. Usually miles done. Finally finally I wasn't the one

He did himself. I did You have any fight. I mean is that your final piece of advice for Charlie? Yeah, just just run them You know get out there run them get the ATV going on have them run them by beside the ATV, you know get them tired out You know I guess yeah, this is long as I don't For like child abuse. No, no, he's wrong. I didn't tell you to fix them It's called playing outside Not whatever you were saying. Yeah, I'd play I that not whatever you were saying. Yeah, I'd play. Well, I mean, that is the beauty of living out in the country.

You're like a half mile long driveway with like no one else around except for cotton field and pasture. So I guess no one would see, unless he'd like start snarking on us at school. I mean, you're not, here's a not like you're making him run. It sounds like he wants to run. He wants to be sonic. Just be sonic, okay? Yeah. sounds like he wants to run. He wants to be Sonic. Just be Sonic. Okay. Yeah.

Well, I mean, I think this is probably the best advice we can get. We get you called in to a podcast of two guys without kids drinking at a bar on a Thursday, you know? Yeah. Well, I will say, I will say. So when we lived in Illinois, which by the way, we are really glad to no longer be considered fibs. Yeah, I'd be glad about that too. But we used to like go places like to bar and grill like in the middle of the week. And even when he was a toddler, we like belly up to the bar and they would just like serve a map of juice, you know, from a glass and he'd be sitting there with the

regulars like he just belongs there. Down here they're a little bit more particular about like the first time that he got kicked out of the bar area. He actually threw a fit. And well, it sounds like he's just a fish out of water. Yeah. I think you got a head back north to get back to the homeland and I think that's what it is. Come to Wisconsin. Yeah, there's five kids sitting at the

bar looking at me here, you know. Well, the last time I actually went up that way a couple of weeks ago for a worth meeting, I actually drove like 10 hours out of the way just to get up to like new glarest to like bootleg beer down here. Oh there you go. There you go. Don't tell anyone else that they will freak out on you and have you arrested. They've done it before. So. But no my co my co workers were throwing money at me to throw in some food. I'm not saying they're wrong but they don't like that. They don't want you doing that. I like that ambition.

They will throw the book at you. They don't want people drinking their beer. So they will rest you, especially if you're selling it outside of Wisconsin. I like that side hustle you got there. You come to Wisconsin anytime. We'll load you up on the beer, all right? Yeah, well, we're going back up to my parents with a 12-hour drive for Christmas. And we, as my husband and I, are dumping the kids off for like a couple of days so we

can sneak back up there and re-enter for a bit. Just to experience the wonderful, clean, fresh, beautiful beautiful blue skies of Wisconsin. We love that. We love you here too. Oh, Hayward's beautiful. Yeah, get up there for the Burkeye Biner in the winter. Lumberjack game. Lumberjack festival.

The whole deal. How do your folks feel when you dump that little hell razor off at their place for a few days? Well, they used to love it now. I It's there more in it for our youngest They've given up on why it already I mean they love him dearly, but they're just like You go and the other one they're just like oh come here and give me more snuggle Yeah, Charlie I think what we need to do is you send, you send why it up north.

Charlie and I will play daddy daycare for a week. We'll straighten them right up. We'll get them back behaving well and then we'll send them back and he'll be a lot less to handle when Charlie and I teach him some good values here up north. What do you think Charlie? Do we take do a good daddy daycare? Yeah, Miles, I think you'll do a great daddy daycare. I think that's a phenomenal thing for you and Anne. You know, and you. Yeah. You and Anne. I don't know. They might realize that they're just, they're just that knife to be dog parents, not kid parents after him.

She's saying that why it may ruin our ambition to have kids is what she's saying. It's a phase, you know, it's just a phase. It'll grow out of it. He's just protecting himself. He's the smallest, you know, he's the runt. It's what it sounds like. The youngest one in that, he's just protected.

So, I think he'll grow out of it, you know? It's all a phase. Okay. Yeah, that's it. Stay strong, Mom. You got it. You do. And if all else fails, it sounds like the bribing

was at least working a little bit. So I would just keep bribing them. Maybe you got a little ambitious, but a hundred bucks. A five-year-old doesn't know the difference between two bucks and 20. So I would maybe just bring that number down a little bit. But I'm not a thing doing good. Stay strong.

I mean, like the first number that came out of my mouth was 100 and then a couple of weeks later, I like mentioned like, oh, yeah, 50 bucks, honey. And he goes, not on mom. That's not what you said. He's holding you accountable. You dug yourself a hole. You did. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you just just got to raise it a little bit. Get just raised the timeline. Two months, $110. He doesn't know increments in math yet. So he can barely write his own name. Well, after teaching a lot of recent numbers, too. Oh, no. You better start getting these negotiations down before he figures out math, okay?

Lock that deal and now Lordy yeah, that's that delusional laugh We we feel yeah, it sounds like why it's sitting in the corner laughing to himself feel yeah, he sounds like Wyatt sitting in the corner laughing to himself. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, we appreciate it. And hopefully we helped you out a little bit. Um, but again, stay strong out there. Well, I also have a bicell trade. Don't, how much you want for Wyatt? No, I'm not so my child. Okay. Well, I mean, I gave birth to him for a piece of cake. I just paid him off like when he was a year and a half old. That's true. The investment is still, you've got too much in that investment to sell it off right now. All right. What do you want to spice sell or trade?

We inherited my father and lost tractor. So it's a like 70s model, 5,000 series, a row crop series tractor. Wow. And it just, he got it on an auction many, many years ago just because he needed a tractor because the other one was broken down and like you couldn't really get parked for it anymore. Sure. So we just got it but it really wasn't what we needed. So since we inherited it now, we're just like we really don't need it. We're trying to sell it or we't what we needed. So since we inherited it now, we're just like, we really don't need it. We're trying to sell it or we want to sell it. We still have to get it down here from the farm in Oklahoma. But if anybody wants one, I have no idea how many hours on it. Okay. What's your price on it? I asked my husband how much he thought we could get for it and he thought about 5,000.

5,000 bucks? Shoot, I bet you could get a little more than that, especially with parts of your stage. Well, the only problem is, is like, you used to have a generator on it and it never worked. And so we replaced it with an alternator and it still doesn't work. So in the middle of the screen, I can just tell you, I always have to have jumper cables or a battery started nearby. Got it. Fire beware.

Fire beware. I got a $5,000 tractor. Tweet a hunk of metal. Tweet us a picture to the belly that pod We'll we'll retweet it for you try and get that thing gone Sweet yeah, because we're trying to get one that will actually work for us because we need one that has an in-loader bucket That one's just not the phrase not designed for one so gotcha We're just a young couple trying to do things frugally starting small. I love it. I love the ambition. Well, go luck with Wyatt.

Good luck with the tractor. Send us a pick. We'll retweet it. We'll get you some money there. Cookin' and whatnot. Well, thank you. Thank y'all. Thank you. You got all your folks at the talk and watch for deer, okay? And make why it watches for him when he's playing Sonic What were you like as a kid Charlie? I was kind of honestly quiet and just trying to behave. You were a little shithead weren't you? Well, I knew the line though. I was good at towing the line and then realing it back when I could sense I was actually gonna get in trouble. So I spent too much time in the principal's office.

What do you think, I think Wyatt's gonna turn out to be an entrepreneur, I think. I felt that as well. He's got a creative mind. He knows the value of a hundred bucks. Yeah, he's kind of his own dude, you know. He's not afraid to stand out. I think it'll be good. Yeah. Well, let's be taking all the one. Let's do it. Welcome to the Belly It Up podcast. Who are we chatting with?

us who are we chatting with? Hey, my name is Megan. Hey, Megan. How you doing? Hey, oh, well, you know, it's been kind of a rough morning, but I play another one. What happened? Oh, no. Yeah, so my boyfriend and I we woke up this morning and our dirt bike was going out of our front yard. They stole the dirt bike out of your front yard Yeah, what was it doing out in the front yard not in the garage?

Well, so what are you making? She's the weas you know look at him shaming you Megan I just know so we live in a mother and last week like in the in this guys backyard and so we don't have a whole lot of space to store things so it's a street legal dirt bike that my boyfriend has so we just parked it on the street. Well had What what kind of a biker we talking about Yamaha TTR Yamaha TTR Yeah, what's a license plate number? Oh

Boy, what is it? one J2 831 all right well, we will contact the authorities as soon as we get off this call and see what we can do for folks Keep your eyes on the road if you see a Yamaha JTTR, and my four, 1438, 6, 8, what was it again? Yeah, you got it. Yeah, just rewind the pod. You'll hear it again.

So, okay. So, what I want to know is how would y'all in the Midwest deal with this situation? Well, first my head goes to, they'll return it. They're probably just walking around, few too many drinks, said, oh, maybe we should steal this. Or maybe their car ran out of gas. I still got to get to the bar so they hop on the nearest bike.

Once they're done having a few beers, they'll bring it back. Yeah. By the way, that much vanity. Well, you asked what the Midwest would do. Either that or you know, I know, I know. Either that or you should know that it's Rick and Tammy's son, Scott, who, uh, you know, he's a, he's a little bit of a five finger distant type of kid. He probably just took it for a joy ride.

You give them a call and they'll bring it right back is probably what you would do with me. Well, where are you guys? We're currently in Seattle. Or you're in Seattle. Oh, so like some hipster coffee guy took it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that's such a bummer. Talk about, you get your bike stolen,

good luck sleeping tonight. You're gonna be sleepless in Seattle. I can tell you. Oh. If you look at that, I can't just move here to like a couple of weeks ago. So it's like, oh, welcome to Seattle. I should have just stayed in Minnesota.

Yeah, I wouldn't have happened, so they would have at least knocked and asked, you know, if they could steal your motorcycle. Oh, yeah, that are there to take in it, tuned it up for you and brought it back. And so I saw it was leaking oil, so I heard of that. Yeah, did you guys have insurance? No, we like just bought it what like two weeks ago and stolen from your home though.

So maybe your homeowner's insurance or your renters insurance will cover it. Oh yeah, that's not a bad idea. Yeah, those insurance companies spend all day screwing you and you might as well, you know, screw it back at him. Hey, yeah. So let's talk through what you've done since you saw the bike was so on. First you said we have to call into the belly to podcast. Those guys will be able to help us out. That's exactly. Exactly. And I knew I knew y'all would help. Yeah. So what are you going to do immediately after this call?

Well, so we first went to the police station, we had the police report. We knocked on some neighbors' houses. They have the ring cameras and we actually got footage of the truck stealing the bike. So it kind of has an idea. This was a whole operation. This wasn't just a one-on- one. Oh, we're going full detective. Let me guess it was a four. I've been waiting my whole life for this. What kind of a truck stole it? It was a older single cab truck with a look like a long bed like an eight foot bed rust colored. Yeah, rust colored. You don't say a

rust colored track with a you don't say a rust a rust colored track with a dirt bike in the back you weren't the first victim today or they thought it was clean up weekend yeah it didn't look like it was their first rodeo either they just grabbed it and went on it took about 20 seconds maybe wow did you guys get any plates? No, the video isn't that clear, but we're going to go and see if we've got any other help from some of the other neighbors because of the direction it was going.

So hope isn't lost yet. No, you guys have some sticky feet today because you're a couple of gum shoes. Whoa, good one Charlie. Miles don't give me that look. Okay, so you called the police, you know roughly the car, have you asked, you know what I would do? I would do some flyer action.

Take a picture of your bike and go put it around in every every bar that you think that truck would frequent you know because if that trucks frequent well we did that there is like what what kind of websites for that and get on get on post on next door we get on this West Seattle You know, trying to Facebook groups and stuff like that. Does not look, it's unfortunate, but I'm not a not alone in this situation. It looks like there's like four or five stolen last week. So okay, we have ourselves a full-blown conspiracy. Yeah, this could be a reacult case. Yeah, the dirt bike band is strike again. Yes. The bike is.

Did they leave like a signal of any sort? Did they, you know, did they, like the sticky bandits in home alone? Yeah, they leave a calling card. Where the wet bandits? Did they leave a calling card? They didn't leave the water running, but they did leave people leave a piece of the

ferry on the ground. So, okay, you have a shred of evidence then. Dread of average. So, uh, do you have any bike dealers in the neighborhood? Because they might be trying to resell them to them. You know, if you check Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, all those, is it listed on there? Yeah, if you check Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, all those, is it listed on there? No, not listed yet, been going through, but I said you're, you know, they might be not quite dumb enough to post it yet. You would be surprised. Yeah, I'm going to keep my eyes on that, for sure. Well, I mean, honestly though, if you would have kept your eye on it, a little bit sooner, wouldn't have to do what this leg worked now.

Yeah. Did the. Oh, well, come on, man. What was this? Uh, this dirt bike. Now, it's street legal. So it had a key situation, right? No, uh, no key.

This isn't a key one. Yeah, no key. It's just like a conversion to street legal, so pretty much just let the headlight on and some turn signals. Got it. And that's got it. Yeah.

Okay, one of those deals. Oh, man, that's going to make it tougher. So are you guys riding the bus now? Was this your only form of transportation or what's that situation? No, so we have my car still, but he really loves his bike. He doesn't want to be driving around in my car anymore. Okay, you know what we're going to do? I have a great plan. Okay, Miles, we're gonna do. I have a great plan.

Okay, Miles, you go your plan. I'll go. My plan is you're gonna have to go to the Card Burr store, get a cardboard cut out of your bike. You're gonna set it up again in the same spot that you had it before. If I know these thieves like I think they do, they can't pass up on a good Yamaha, they're going to be like, God, they got another one already. They're going to go up and as soon as they get close to realizing it's just a cardboard cutout, boom, have the FBI, they're ready to arrest them. You know what? If you can't get a hold of the FBI, I got a thing that might just make it even better. So you know, miles same idea, okay, but you guys ever trap a squirrel with a box?

Yeah, okay. Raccoons, you're gonna need a big box. You're gonna need a really big box and a really big tree branch. Get the tree branch propped up at about 45 degree angle tall enough so they're not going to notice the box or the branch and then put that bike right underneath and then have a rope or no put the cardboard bike right underneath and then you guys rope. Well, they have the bike. Or no, put the cardboard bike right underneath. And then you guys wait inside, tie a rope to the tree branch

and drag that around the house or in the house. Make sure it doesn't get jammed up in the door. Then when they come by and they're starting to snoop around, right before they realize that this is a 2D, not a 3D bike, pull the branch, you got them. We got to make sure you jump on top of the box first. Absolutely, you have to jump on the box. I think it got a good blue clip.

Blue clip for that one is Scooby Doo too. Yeah, good reference. Watch your Scooby Doo's and that's where Charlie and I get a lot of our detective advice from Scooby Doo. Very true. Hey, it works every time though, yeah. Yeah, never seen them fail. That is true. You know, another thing you could do, actually,

this might be a serious thing. Type in, go on Twitter, type in the exact model of the bike, and see if they're trying to sell it on Twitter. Some people sell stuff on Twitter. But just go to the latest version here. Actually, you can't tell with it. I'm gonna do it right now. You do that.

There also, I think the decoy bike, so you're gonna have to buy another bike, unfortunately. I don't know if the cardboard cut it Did there yeah, but there's all the rain here. Yeah No, here's what you do you don't want to put more of your own stuff in harm's way So you got to go to your neighbor who has a dirt bike tell him to put it out there and that you'll keep an eye on it And then when they come to steal that one you'll get them but just make sure you get there we go okay yeah give me the money actually keep an eye on it yeah yeah exactly give me the motto one more time Yamaha what I forget it's a TTR 230

TTR 230 TT are two three oh okay yeah all right we're looking let's see oh that is a sweet freaking bike that is no six there's a James. Don't say that about your bike. Yeah, there's nothing I'm seeing popping up yet. All right. We'll keep an eye. We'll keep one eye on Twitter. Yeah, we'll keep an eye out for you.

And we hope all the folks out there, what color was it, by the way? It was blue. Oh, this one is blue, too. God, that's a sexy one. Oh, maybe we got it. Well No, if you're in the market, maybe they upgraded it for yeah, well if you're in the market for a 2023 version that's blue, there's one selling one online. Yeah, you go there since you don't have one anymore. Yeah, all right. Well good luck with that you know oh yeah one more good idea miles is full of them today we do a lot of buy selling trades here on the Belly Nut podcast you guys it

sounds like you're looking to buy a Yamaha 20 oh six is that what it was a Yamaha TTR 2 3 oh 230 you're looking to buy it. And I imagine that these guys are also listeners of this podcast. They might try and sell it to you back. Yeah, they could. We got a lot of somebody coming into spell. Yeah, what I've next call someone calls it and says, hey, we're looking to sell a Yamaha. Well, the thing is is we're only in Seattle for three months. So he was just going to buy it for the three months and then sell it. So it's like, come on guys, just free it back to three months. And then, you know, after that, you guys can have it. Yeah. And no, let them steal it again. So you can still claim it on your

insurance. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, to pay in taxes. So we're going to make it a little more tough on them. Yeah. If they can improve their skills. Well, if anyone out there's got a 2006 blue Yamaha TR230 looking to sell to T230. We're looking for someone to buy. We got one. So. And you guys, you guys are probably in the market to buy a bike lock. So, yeah. I don't like lock. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry. Too soon. Too soon. Next time, you got to take the front tire off. Yeah, take the front tire off and the seat. Yeah. The seat.

Yeah. And if you really want to get them put some petroleum jelly on the other side of the handlebars that they can't see Nothing will piss a thievoff more when they put their hands on it and they get all gummy. Yeah, no one wants that. Yeah, that might be enough. Because of the sticker. Yeah, yeah, the sticky bandits would be the slippery bandits. He painted it.
