Welcome to another episode, a magnificent episode. If I will say so myself of the Belly to podcast joining me today at the tavern is my good buddy and yours. It's a bar and grill. Joining me today at the bar and grill is my good buddy and yours. Miles the Betcha guy. Miles what bar and grill are we at the Hill bar and grill here in Glendon, Minnesota. Take me. Five are good. We got folks here on their lunch break.

Hang it out. Sounds like a country song down it. Take me to the Hill. Bar and grill. Take me to the Hill. Bar and grill. I thought you're going to say drinking on your lunch break is a country song. Oh, that's even funnier. See, this is why you are better miles. You're the one who's got all these albums coming out. By the way, folks, my album is out. Dive bar dinner. Um, also I'm on tour. Uh, you guys know that 20 24 days are out last minute Christmas gift. Hey, you don't even have to think about this person. Just go on my website and be like, Hey, you're going to the show whether you want to or not. I like that. Well, it's good, right?

Right, you can do it on Christmas Eve, right? That is true. Yeah. So what do you want for Christmas, Charlie? All I want for Christmas, Miles. What do you want for Christmas? Is you? No, what do you want for Christmas? I don't want a lot of the Christmas Charlie just skater. I don't want a lot for Christmas. What do you want?

Make my dream come true, Miles. What do you want? We're not getting on with this podcast. So I'm thinking about what I want. All right. Thank you. Um, I want like to pick something in the bar that you want. Haha. That's not a bad idea. Um, no, you know what I want?

I want like one pair of jeans that are so versatile. I don't ever have to wear another pair of pants. That's the pants I'm wearing right now. What kind are they? I don't know. They're my wedding pants. We really, so these are the pants I wore for my wedding. My wear, I'm like every other day.

That's cool. They look good. If we had been better friends, Charlie, then you could have been groomsmen in my wedding. I was a kid I wasn't a groomsman. I also got another one of these pairs. It's very upset I was in groomsman. You know what? Thank you for not making me a nusher.

Well, and honestly, yes, you would have liked to have been a groomsman, but you would have hated having to like travel to all the stuff. Yeah, I couldn't. I've done. Yeah. You know what? I'm while we're on the conversation of pants miles, I'll get you some jeans. Okay., I could have done it. You know what? Why were on the conversation of pants miles? I'll get you some jeans. Okay, but let's talk about it. After this podcast, I'll take your measurements.

That's great. Let's talk about the new styles coming out. Because when I was coming up, you know, I'm a little older than you. Yep. But the style that was hot in the mid-90s to late 90s was the baggy-ass pants, the pipes. And then in the early 2000s, I'd start to be out of fashion. The only person still dressing like that was Jesse Pinkman and other Matthew people. And now the early knots,

meth head look is coming back. Is that what you want? No. You want pants that are really big? You like that? I just think it looks so stupid, but then I guess apparently I'm old for even saying that.

Charlie, you are wearing tennis shoes, sweat pants, camel shirt and a camel hat. I don't know if it should be. What, it plays and a camel hat. I don't know. Please don't be I don't know if you should. I'm not judging picking a part. Oh, oh, okay. Just because I'm not like a fashionista doesn't mean I can't have an opinion. I frick that miles, frick that to hack. I can have an opinion.

Folks, it's going to be a very rough episode of the bellyup podcast. I can't even break that to hack. I can't have an opinion. Folks, it's gonna be a very rough episode of the Belly Up podcast. I'm steamed up and not ready to take your crap. So you want jeans for Christmas? Yeah, could I? Yeah, I'll get you a pair of these. Are those in style though? They're stretchy, they're tapered.

I like it when it feels like you're in sweatpants, but you're in jeans. Yep. I don't basically ever want to think about the clothes that I wear. Yeah, male Jaggings is what you're looking for. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, good. Just um, can you do it? I had to say all right. Thank Hey, Miles got a question for you. Yeah. What do you want? I want my basement to be finished off. Well, I think you're going to have to do that yourself. Okay. Do you want help? I want me to help put up some drywall.

No questions asked. I said that I would get you that for Christmas. Okay. Kind of expected that in return. All right. What needs to be done the basement? I can do drywall. I can do some framing.

I mean, I can do framing, I suppose. No, that's enough. That's it. Yeah. Okay. Frame it up with me. Well, that's enough. That's it. Yeah. Okay. Framing up with me, well, sheet rocket. I should not be doing your electrical.

Never would I ever have you do anything electrical. Yeah, okay. Cause your house will burn down. Yeah. Thousand percent. And you will shock yourself today. Oh my God. One time I was working at my buddy's shop and I cut the power cord because I was using some sort of electric what not, you know, and I tell you know that this isn't going to go well for him is that he was using an electrical what not I can't think of because this was inside so it wasn't like a lawnmower, but it was something I shouldn't be using inside, but I thought it would work for the situation at hand. So anyways, I was using it. I think it honestly

was like an electric saw of some sort, maybe like a chainsaw. I don't know what. Anyways, I cut the electric cord. I'm like, ah, come on, Charlie. So then I'm like, I got to splice this sucker. So I start splicing with a knife and then forgot to unplugged it and do that is that was scary. I was knocked out. I got you actually got knocked out. I think so I woke up on the floor. Yeah. You know what, it's starting to make a lot more sense. Folks, that's a PSA portion. If you are going to splice is starting to make a lot more sense. Folks, that's a PSA portion. If you are gonna splice electric cord, make sure it's unplugged from the wall.

Okay. That's like 101, yeah. I was a young buck, my old. It's starting to make sense. It's a young buck. So, anyways. I would love to have seen that. 20 minutes later. Well,

cripes, what happened? That's basically how it went. He's like Michael Scott. He was cleaning some gunk off of his outlet with a metal fork and got the nastiest shock. And when he finally came to, you're, you are real life, Michael Scott. Oh, it's not, it's such a weird feeling gang electrocuted.

So weird. I've gotten some shocks before. Never been knocked out of the floor. I mean, yeah, you realize that it's like really badly. You'll probably almost died. I did probably But here I am here to live another day just another reason to be grateful honestly Well folks, I'm also grateful for all of you

You're down to be so pissy for the yeah listen to this podcast. No, but if he finds out he's gonna be like really dude Yeah, he probably just shake his head and be like I taught you better. And he did I just wasn't listening. Visual. And then like the barons confused luck when he comes to. Oh my god. What the fuck. Yeah. All right. Thank you for that, Charlie. Let's take some call. All right. Hi. Welcome to the Belly it up podcast. Who is who's on the horn? Hi, I'm Austin. Hi, Austin. Where are you calling from? Michigan.

Grand Rapids Michigan to be specific. The real Mitten State. Oh, don't go there, Miles. Don't go there right now. and the gray rap is this again to be specific. The real Mitten state, I'll don't go there, Miles. Don't go there right now. Austin from the right, the right flow owners of the UP. The right flow owners of what now Austin?

The UP, the UP. The right flow owners, my, you're not even connected to the UP Austin. Geez, starting. Why do we have it? That's a starting. And why do we have it? That's a great question. Why do you have it? Because Wisconsin said, oh no, you just have it.

Yeah. We couldn't buy and sis. And Michigan claims to be from the Midwest, but they never said, oh no, you guys take it. I insist back. Frick. Anyway, Austin, what's on your mind, my guy? Belly on up to the bar with us.

I'm just curious when I should tell my child that Santa isn't real. What? Do I just never tell her? What? What are you talking about? Do I tell my daughter that Santa isn't real? Why would you lie to your daughter? What?

Santa's real? Yeah. Santa's not real? Yeah. Santa's not real? Well, that's a beauty. Austin, who told who? And who hurt you, Austin? But who told you?

What? Who puts all the presents under the tree? I haven't gotten any presents in a long time. That's why I'm just wondering if sand is really not. Oh, no. Well, Austin and I, and I don't mean to offend by this, but have you been, have you been a good boy? Of course. I hated that. Don't ever ask one of our questions that again. Please, for, for my own mental health, do not ask any more of our college, if they've

been a good ball. Miles, you just saying that because you've been a bad boy. I hate it. I hate it. Okay, so what that was right there, Austin was a similar reaction that your kid is going to give you when you tell him this and you were not very prepared for what to say after the kid was shocked. Is that if you thought that through?

That's what I was curious about. Should I just tell her she's eight months after I just just be straight out and tell her from eight months ago and so she doesn't. You're having to roll up thinking that all these things are real or do I just... So she doesn't. You have to roll up thinking that all these things are real or do I just does she even go? No, no, I don't want to go. She don't know words yet. Austin, she's eight, give her, give her until she's eight years old, not eight months.

Well, I was in church. Yeah. Yeah, I wrote a book that said you should tell them when they're eights and I missed it. I interpreted it with, I thought it was eight months not eight years He's just reading or a bedtime story why Santa isn't real, you know No, Austin playing the magic for a while. It's gonna be fun, you know when did you I'll say is when did you find out that Santa wasn't real? My mom just told me yesterday. No, no, she's probably about 15

15 wasn't real. My mom just told me yesterday. No, no, she probably about 15. 15 damn. Whoa. Really? What's it? What's it? Why I'm confused? What's it about? So you didn't put two and two together at like six or seven that were you a home schooled Austin? Listen, you don't ask, you don't tell, okay? You were home schooled? No. All right, well. So what, I mean, what about all, you found out when you're 15, usually kids find out first from like other kids. What the hell is that? I lost it.

What's going on? What's going on? Usually kids find out from other kids at school. Yeah, but if you don't let your parent know, then you get more present from the fanco. So you pretended to know. Of course. Okay.

Are you like watching TV right now or something? Yeah, are you just strangling somebody with the fire? Heck, what the heck? All we hear in the background is, hmm. I don't know, my phone's weird. No, that's not my phone's weird thing. I'm, I'm sitting here. Are we off. I'm just sitting here. Are we locked in your closet?

Austin, it sounds like you have a prisoner with you. They are doing maintenance downstairs though. So maybe that's next to be it. Are you on speaker phone? No. Oh, no. He's getting up our feedback. How is this happening?

We're good. Is it is it not happening now? No, we're good. Okay, Austin. Okay, sorry about that. Where were we so Okay, so when did you really find out seven or eight you said? Yeah, about so and how did you find out? Yeah, about so. And how did you find out? Kids at school told me, but I didn't want to tell my mom that I knew because I was afraid I would get less present.

So I mean, I'll get that. Imagine a life. That's pretty smart. I like that mentality. Why do you feel the need to not give your kid any magic around Christmas time? Why does the one to grow up with the life, you know, what if she hates me for it or something? I don't think a ton of kids when they grow up are going to therapy up are going to therapy. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on. So I don't think adult kids are going to therapy and going, you know what? My parents really mess me up. They didn't,

they told me that Santa was real until I was like eight. And now I have all this childhood trauma. It's usually abuse and other stuff that really messes them up. So I don't think you got to worry about messing them up by doing a little white lie that Santa's real. Well, what about the Easter Bunny as well? Yeah, you know? You might as well just do a two for one deal. Just do very two. Yep.

You know so many lies. Yeah, I mean, but there's so many lies you're gonna say honest Austin. Yeah, can't tell a lie can't tell lie Are you a are you a bad liar? Are you worried that they you're just gonna give it away anyways? Honestly, yeah, well I Actically say what if I actually say that Sam is not real and she's like well, what about the last eight years And all you're just you just now telling me? Yeah, I think that's exactly how it's going to go. Actually, you're right in the middle of the pack.

You know, all the kids are dealing with this and fall. The kids are dealing with it. They can all, are you married? Do you have a girlfriend anything like that? I have a fiance. Okay, what does she think about it? She wants to, she wants her to grow up believing in Santa and stuff, but I don't know. I haven't really asked her opinion. Well, you might want to start by doing that. Okay, you can't be though. You can't, because if you just go rogue and tell your kid that Santa isn't real, you can't be though. You can't because if you just go rogue and then tell your kid that Santa isn't real, you can't really take that back. Yeah. You know, then you got not only

you got you're trying to avoid your kid losing B and two innocent, then all of a sudden you got problems. Yeah. It's a lot of been divorced. One. It will be fine. And then again, it'll be fine if it happens again. What what that's a good mentality going to the marriage. I like that. You have any relationship advice and how not to get divorced by the way, Charlie. I didn't bring it

up. Let's see here. Yeah, that's actually, that's a good question, Austin. I mean, you know, let's see here. Don't get married in the first place. That'll solve that. Oh, I'm not getting married. I'll call it out. No, I'm kidding.

I don't know, dude. I'm not married. And the first one I didn't quite work out. Sounds like we're both 0 for 1 miles is the only married one. Why don't we ask him for his advice. Miles, what's your advice? Six months in my guy. There's just a lot of stuff you need to not care about. Honestly, you know, as soon as you start caring too much about stuff, that's when you have expectations. That's when fights start. If you just go with the flow and the marriage and just say, you want me to show up to dinner

with these people, fine, I'll be there. I don't care. You want me to go here for Christmas? Fine, I don't care. I'll do it. And just take any of your issues and just stuff them deep down inside and then water boredom with an old fashioned. Well said, Charlie. Yeah. There you go. What do you think of that? I think you got to let the kid believe in Santa. I think that's you just you got

to do it. All right. I won't tell her totally nine months. Thanks for listening, Austin. We appreciate that. Starting to get his first divorce now. Well, Austin, thank you for calling in my guide. Tell your fiance and your baby girl that we says, hi, okay. All right. Watch out for you. you two good bye. I think Austin's a little bit of a potster. I think I think I think I he was doing what he was doing for a reason. It does sound like something I would tell Anne, you know, I'm gonna tell him right away and then just panic and never do it because I'm too much of a wussy. I think it's just when you're bored, you find the thing that you know is gonna solicit an opinion like that. Find the right button to push, just stir it on up.

Stir, stir, stir. Yeah, let's do another call. Let's do it. Hello, welcome to the Belly to a podcast. Who is on the line with us right now? Hi, this is Camilla. Hi Camilla. How are you guys doing?

Doing great. Where are you calling him from? I'm in Iowa. Where about in Iowa? I'm in Aane. Okay. Tough year to be in Aane. Yeah, tough year. Yeah, just like most years. Yeah. Well, why don't you belly up to the bar with us? Tell us what's on your mind. Yeah, I'd love to. So actually, I've been trying to call in for a while, but I'm glad I got picked up this time because it's the holiday time. And I have the most midwestern boyfriend ever,

like hunting some of the old vids farm, everything. So what should I get on for Christmas? I don't know. Kamila, what is your boyfriend's name and where is he originally from? His name's Austin and he's also from Iowa, like North, West Iowa. like North West Iowa. Okay. Do you guys happen to have an eight month old daughter? No, we don't. Okay. Our last caller, his name was Austin as well. I didn't know if we were getting a two-for-one deal on this. Oh, this one Austin, this one Austin. Okay. Um, okay. So midwestern guy he's looking you're looking for Christmas. What is it? What is kind of your first instincts on want to get him?

And like tools. Talk guys. Things like that. All right, he's a big tool guy, huh? What does he do for? Yeah, what does he do for live it? Um, he sells me. He's a big tool guy, huh? What does he do for a moment? What does he do for a living? He sells weed. He sells weed?

See, see. He's an agronomist, Alvin. Oh, good for him. Good for him. Good for him. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's actually maybe not too bad

to sidekick sell weed as well. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure he's got good lead on weed seed. Yeah, he probably does. Oh, yeah. Do you guys smoke weed, Camilla? You and I. No, we don't. No, you're not token.

You guys drink alcohol. Yeah. OK. So slight. I can tell. There you go. I like that. I like that. I like Okay. There you go. You're all good. I like it. What we like to hear. Okay. Well, Charlie, I mean, tools is a good one. I think what's tough is you got to make sure that it's the right tools. Yeah. Right. Because guys, Midwestern guys, they are pretty particular about their tools, whether that being a specific brand they like You know a lot of times guys buy tools for a specific project and they use that specific saw one time and never use it again

So does he have any projects that he's working on right now? No, no, no, I need specific Project I say does he like woodworking? Yeah, I'm not like the two favorite state will actually yeah, he does He just went into our shop and built my mom a birdhouse like I got I got a good idea From scratch, she built a bird house. Yeah. Does he like to bow hunt? He does like to bow. Yeah. Okay. When he we're kind of doing the medium distance thing right now

and like he came down and just brought his bow and there And like, oh, if I see it in the yard, he's ready. I like that. Yeah, he truly is a Midwestern guy. He had just never known when you're going to come across the right buck. I like that. You can't use a gun. So that's why you bring the bow. Use the old silencer.

The old school silencer. So here's a cool thing. Friend of mine did this not too long ago, and I'm not sure where, but there was a class that she had signed up for where she could learn how to make a bow, a long bow from scratch. They teach you how to make it, and then you can kind of shoot it. So I don't know if he's into sort of the

recurve bows or those long bows, but to be able to make your own bow and then kind of Oh, hang on a little feedback here. To be able to make your own bow and learn how to shoot that could be kind of fun, you know. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, that's actually great idea. I never thought about that at all. It sounds like a class I'd like to cool. Yeah. That's actually great. I never thought about that at all. It sounds like a class I'd like to take. Yeah. Well, maybe I'll get that for you for Christmas. That would be great. Bye.

Maybe we take it together. Yeah. Maybe I get it for you and you get it for me and we do a weekend away together. How about this? Yeah. We each make each other a bow and then we gift it to each other. Well, that'll, I'm down to do that unless I make my bow and like get more than yours. Yeah, I was kind of thinking you sound like

you'd be better at it than me. I might be a scotch better. Yeah, probably not a lot better, but I've tried something similar in the past and failed. So I got one failure under my belt. Answer me this question is Austin a guy when you ask him what he wants for Christmas, he just says, I don't, I don't know.

Is that I don't need anything? Yeah, he is. He's that, that way for some things, but then other things, he's like super specific about. So it's kind of weird. Like what? Like the older aunt, like he asked me to pick him up during one time, and I got him the wrong kind and you't do that. What kind of you get him?

Well, it was old spice, but it was just like, in the same sense, but it wasn't the gel kind. It was like the white kind, you know, also he's a gel guy. See, I am the opposite. Like the blue, like the blue one, yeah, I can't stand a gel. The odorant, I need the white powder. What are you? What are you Charlie? Um, I do, uh, someone sent me a bunch of the hippie that you know what Camilla did. Did you know what she just said? He doesn't use it.

He doesn't use it. It took you a while. It took you a while. So think about it. I was gifted. He's like, oh, shit, I don't have a specific. I don't know the name of it. I don't know the name of it. Oh, I also have some old spice too. I've got like Deodorant on the road and then Deodorant at my place. I can't remember the Deodorant at my place. Anyway, this isn't about the order. Let's get back to Christmas. Did he? Did he say that he wanted anything for this Christmas? Yes or no? No. And when he gets you a gift, is he a good gift giver? Or is he like wait for you to tell him what he wants? Is it last minute? Does he like just get you like tickets? Like clearly he just didn't get you anything until the 23rd or does he think I? I usually I usually can tell like either what it is or how it wraps that his mom helped him.

That's funny. Yeah. So his mom is usually I'm like, you know, let me tell you mom things. So yeah. So, so you don't think he's putting a lot of thoughts into your present. No, I think he wants to, but his mom's like a gift giver to his mom. It's a really good gift. So she enjoys it. But I think he does kind of like let her.

What do you want for Christmas, Camilla? I don't know. See, I'm also like, I don't like to do like, I love to give gifts, but not like receive them. Why not? What's that about? I don't know. Well think about it. So why don't you guys just do if you sometimes I like coupons like coupons or discards or something. Okay. Why don't you guys do like the culprits? Yeah. No, there you go. That's what's up. Give yourself a nice butterbird. But, um, so what?

Well, we want to call it love. Oh, oh, go ahead. Oh, I was just gonna say, why do you guys, it sounds like neither of you are like, want anything specific. Why do you guys just both together get each other like an experience, like a vacation or something like that? Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.

You know, like rent Airbnb in the deep woods and you guys hang out or do whatever, it would be kind of cool. He's got a lot of the bears and deer and elk walking around and going on tan on or something. What do you think of that? Oh yeah, that's a good idea. I like that like that. I did he does go on lots of trips though already But not with me though. That's kind of a bummer, but for some will be a link like in my Well, so here's another thing Z it's he's your boyfriend correct uh see it's he's your boyfriend correct correct yeah and what do you say you guys gonna tie the knot soon you guys you think he's gonna propose anytime soon yeah yeah I mean we've only been going

steady for like two years going steady I mean that's a while I think it's about time don't you think going steady. I mean, that's a while. I think it's about time, don't you think? Yeah, probably. So here's perfect. You guys go on this trip together and just start hinting at the you want to propose on this trip. Yeah, give them a hint for Christmas. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. If he asks you what you want, just say, you know, my fingers are a little cold. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. Tell me a good idea. Tell them you're looking for some jewelry. Yeah. Wink wink or tell his mom. Yeah. There we go. I want something that I can use for the rest of my life.

You know, I don't sound like that. Something I can pawn if it all goes sideways. Yeah. Also, I'm certain to think though that Austin is not a guy who picks up on hints very well. And my correct in saying that right. Yeah. So maybe just tell me you want to ring for Christmas. Hey, I'll just start

sending him like a little bit of one or something. Yeah, I do like I seen on one TikTok where you just take his phone and just start yelling engagement ring into his phone so that it gets pushed ads for for wedding stuff. There you go. Yeah, that's a good idea. Are you excited to spend the rest of your life with him or are you still debating it? Oh, I'm excited. I think I love it. Well, I think we gave you some good options here. What do you think, Charlie? I hope so. I mean, I'm not one to pump my own tires, but I'm pumping them. And I think I can speak for Charlie and that he would tell you to go on a trip to the Wisconsin delts. I can't recommend it enough. Get yourself a nice two day stay at the Calahari. Enjoy that great will flange. Okay. You know, I think his mom did say something. She got like a discount for somewhere

that's awesome though. And we know you like your coupons. Perfect. So there we go. I think you're set. Yeah. Well, great, thank you. It was so nice chit chat with you. Yeah, right back at you. All right. Well, you'd be good now. Okay. Watch for deer. I'll try. Yep. Okay. I said hi. All right. Thank you. Now, bye. I don't really like getting gifts either. No. It's like the, you know, you have to come up with something nice to save, and though it's just kind of awkward, you know.

Yeah. Really bad at the like, oh, thank you. And I'm also really bad at hiding how I actually feel if I don't like the gift. What's the worst gift Anna's ever gotten you? Anna's ever gotten me? I don't remember. What's the worst gift your mom's ever got you? It's probably some sort of clothing that I just didn't want at all that I probably love the tags on. Yeah. Yeah. That's all right.

Mom's kind of, you know, especially when they're shopping for multiple kids, they're like, yeah, that looks pretty good. Yeah. You know, and we get our mom's like if they don't like either, but they're better at lying about it. You know, it's that unconditional love. Mm-hmm. Good.

More color here. Sure. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah. Folks, it's almost Christmas time. And you're probably thinking, well, what am I going to get all my relatives and people I need to get Christmas Press and further, what am I going to do to deal with all of my relatives as well?

Hey, my name is my friends call me. Sure. I live in northern Kentucky. So let me guess you are a petite 135 pounds Maybe like five six is that accurate? Oh Yeah, you guys nailed it on the head just a little bit. I'm actually like 300 pounds five, five, ten. A leg. But close enough. All right, Shrek. Well, thanks for calling in my guy. What's on your mind, Belian, up to the bar with us? Well, so over the past, I just bought this truck like two months ago, right?

And over the past, I just bought this truck like two months ago, right? And I love this truck, it's the first truck I've owned. And over the past just weak, it's gotten broken into twice. Whoa. Like, I'm going today to go get a new window, a second window put in. And I was wondering if you guys know a way that I can stop people from breaking into my truck? Yes, yes we know. First of all, what kind of truck is this and why could you ascertain? Is it getting broken to track? that's a great question. It's, it's just a 2014 Ram 1500 outdoors. In addition, it's got this really cool camo trim on it.

Though I don't know if that's an attraction. If anything, well, if anything, it should be able to spot it because of camo. They're looking for guns, dude. They're looking for guns. They're doing the math on that. Yeah, they're doing the math on that truck. You got camo trim I'm sure you got did they steal anything when they broke into your truck

The first time they did the second time there was nothing to steal because the first guy got everything what they steal I only had a backpack in there with some disc golf discs Luckily, I took everything out literally the hours before they got broken into. I took everything out except for that bag. So when you saw the bag, you smashed the window and put the bag. Where do you live? Uh, North, North and Kentucky probably about, I don don't know five minutes from the river of Ohio. Is this area known for crime? If you buy Evansville. Indiana.

Yeah. Evansville. I don't know about I want to have two hours. Okay. Got it. Is this area known for crime? Not really. No.

No, I was in a pretty good neighborhood. Um, it, but it didn't happen to my neighborhood. It happened in Ohio. It, it seems every time I go in Ohio, it gets broken into the bathroom. Yeah, that's certain. That up a little bit there. Now my first instincts are to, you said that a window got smashed, right? And if I know anything about thieves is that they see, they see something they want to break into it. So I would recommend just leaving it unlocked and rolling all your windows down. One, it's going to be less enticing, right? They're, their alarm's going to go

off in their head and go, well, why is this so easy to get into? There must be some sort of trap. It's kind of like when people install a home security system, they stick the sticker in the window. And if thieves see that, they oftentimes won't even try. So people now just put the stickers on the window, even though they don't have a security system. That being said, it also, if you are going to get broken into, then you don't have to worry about getting a new window all the time either. If you just got the windows down, they're going to break in anyways. You might as well save the money on having to put in a new window.

What if it rains miles? I mean, luckily, yeah, luckily in Kentucky, you don't have to pay for windows because insurance ever. But it's just the emergency at this point. So like, yeah, cool. But I was thinking about getting one of those like, you know, those boxes that have like stink bombs in them and like pro glitter everywhere. Yeah, you know, what I'm talking about Mark Robert action or whatever is

name of Rubin. Yeah. Yeah. You've seen those, you've seen those videos before, right? Exactly. Problem is is if you accidentally, yeah, problem is those. If you accidentally activate that thing, you're going to be covered in glitter and there's far to everywhere. Yeah. I know. The monstrosity ruined. There's not the more some farty glitter. There's not the more some farty glitter. So yeah, do you have tinted windows? The back two are tinted, the front two are not. We need to get that fixed because it looks stick to them.

How tinted are we talking? The tint is probably what's screwing you up because they think there's something in there. First of all, I won't keep anything in there. I won't keep anything in there. It's not. Yeah. And then it is to be honest. Okay, so they can see through with those tinted windows.

Oh, yeah. The second time there was just like two hoodies sitting on the sheet. That's it. Yeah. Well, in the disc golf bag. I don't know. Yeah. If you've ever been cold, you'll do anything to get warm. So you probably had his eye. They're probably your big guy. They're probably some bigger sweaters, probably a little comfy cozy action going on. Not too bad. Charlie. They didn't even think of weird. So you don't like my idea of just like when I'm trying.

Well, I just think it Kentucky it rains. And so he's going to get is this like one of those trucks that's like got the cloth seats, you know, on a mildewy truck? It does have the cloth seat. Yeah, see. All right. Yeah. Maybe, maybe you just do the Midwest thing and just say, please don't break into this. I don't have anything. You know, could people see this? Get a spine and put it in every window. Yeah, just get a sign putting every window and just say, please don't honestly, a lot of times when people are breaking the cards, they're just looking for guns. And your truck looks like you got a gun in it. I mean, I would assume that you got something under the front seat. Maybe I need to get rid of

the camera trim. And that will be like, no, I can't get rid of that. If I do paint trim, they'll be like, no, this guy definitely doesn't have a gun. Well, they might think you got a pink gun, dude. You know, like you see them pink guns. Yeah, I mean, honestly, if I saw that truck, I'd be like, for sure, there's a pink piece under the front seat. But the camel trim, you don't want to get rid of that. Yeah.

You got a little piece there. I would just park it, but install a nice big street lamp underneath the thing and put a security camera up just out of a great idea. What's that, Miles? Just always keep it running because if a car is running, that means that the owner is close by and either coming to it or running it and coming back out. And they're going to not want to spend the time and risk breaking into your car and the thought that you would come out to your car. But so you just keep it running all day along. They're going to try and steal it. Lock it up still. They're gonna try and steal it though. You lock it up still They're gonna be like are the keys in the car

I could keep all of the gas cans in the bed and just like keep filling it up just Yes, I'm gonna be honest. I would not try and steal from a car that was running that means the owner's close by and I could get caught well Right, I mean I do have a remote start. So I can just put that on repeat. You go, dude, plus then I am here in Kentucky. So maybe not as big of a deal, but then it's always toasty warm or cooled off or I can go the extra mile and put

some serious money into it. Jack it up way high. Well, they can't even reach it. There you go. Now that's the solution right there. You know, they have like the step thing that hang like the running board, but it's like a ladder almost, just make it detachable and take it with you. There you go.

Yeah, that really, that make a moat, you know, it's everything but a moat on that sucker. That's the castle of cars. That's actually a great idea. Yeah. Yeah. Make it a monster truck. I love that idea. That actually would work. Yeah. I love how you call in for our advice and then you come up with the advice. Well, you know, I need, I need a brain session like Bounce I would be people. We said that you guys were Yeah, we said a knock at loose a little bit. You know, we are here to help. Here to help. That's a great idea. Another problem solved.

Yeah, get a gold fund me going. Sure. Charlie's good for probably a thousand bucks. I'm good for at least a hundred. Oh yeah. A hundred. One. I'm gonna think you look all that off for that. My, find me like some of a part. I mean, my olds was telling me he's good for at least 3000. So there you have it. $3,100. Yeah, but you got to wrap the whole thing in my logo. I'll sponsor your jackpot. Yeah, anti theft system. wrap the whole thing in my logo. I'll sponsor your jack to anti theft system. That would be cool if we sponsored it. Yeah, I'll put

I'll put your face on the driver's side door. Yeah. Yes. I like that. Now you're speaking my language. And on the tailgate, I'll just say you bet you. Mm-hmm. Wait, well, I love. You're only contributing $100. You have no say in this. You can have like the back, back right panel of the car, like a little like three by three inch vinyl of your face. Well, why don't we split it and make it belly up? Because that would be fun.

I want to be included. I'll give you the license plate. make it belly up because that would be fun. I want to be included. I'll give you the license plate. It comes on the front. Yeah. All right. Why don't you price it out and send us some options? Yeah, you can do a vanity plate that says, gripes on an exclamation point. That'd be cool. I'll be sure to do that for sure. How do you feel about having a bright orange truck? You know, my bedroom in high school is bright orange. So I actually wouldn't be opposed to it. And then you can keep the camo trims. Exactly. Bright orange

and camo, they won't see it coming. I mean, great solution. Yeah. Thank you for calling in. We're feeling good about this. Price up send us over a sponsorship package and we'll we'll get back to you on that. You know, I will and then I'll come pick you guys up whatever bar against go. I'll be the D.E. that night. Oh, I love that. Thank you very much. What a guy. Such a great guy. All right. Well, I suppose. Yeah, well, thank you for calling in. Now, thank you guys. I wasn't to figure it out the solution without you. Perfect. Yeah, that's why we're here, man. That's why we're here. We're here to help. Thanks for calling in. Have a good one. Hey, you guys be safe. You too, watch for deer. All right.

Bye now. So funny. Like my mom, my every time I leave her house tells us to wear our seat belts. And we're always like mom, we will. And where are seat belts and be safe? And we're like, mom, we will, you don't have to say it every time. We will just assume that we need to be safe until you tell us not to be safe anymore. Have you ever gotten your truck broke into?

I'm gonna jinx it, but I don't think so. When my truck in high school is getting fixed to the shop, some guy like dropped the gas tank out and was trying to steal a part off of it. But it wasn't actually in the truck. That's even more of a pain in the ass. I got my car broken to a couple times. One time they stole my bike.

I was trying to save money in this parking lot and then take the bus to the airport. I came back and I had no bike. You know, that cost me a lot of money. Next time they broke into my car, they didn't take anything. And I was moving, divorced. And I had so much stuff in my car, like so much of my possessions. And I don't know what made me mad that they broke into it, or that they broke into it and didn't take anything.

Yeah. Psychological warfare criminal. I was like, this is all my stuff, my good stuff too, and they didn't want any of it. They're taking another collar? No, that's it. No, that's it. Miles, that's it for another episode of the Belly to Podcast. So nice pal talking to you.

Okay. And the Hill bar and grill. Check them out. Check them out. Fantastic spot. All thanks for tuning in. Make sure you tip your bartenders. We'll see you in the next one. I know.
