All right, Chuck, we're back. We're here at Matt Maddie's Bar and Grill here in New Berlin, Wisconsin. Chickadee, Chuck, hey, Chuck, hey, Chuck, feeling ready to roll, Miles. I would do, I don't want to start this episode off on the wrong foot, but you do need to clean your glasses. And starting now, Charlie, I am going to be the friend that when you have something in your teeth, I'm going to tell you immediately. And if your glasses are smudgy, I'll tell you, all right? That sounds good.

Miles, I love you. I love you. In a weird way, I love you. Can you clean them for me? Yeah. Like, that doesn't feel right. But I think, I don't know why I can't get these glasses. Do they have self-cleaning glasses?

I want some windshield wipers for my glasses. Why has that not been invented? You know? Oh, my God. These things are terrible. I know, dude. I know. She got glass cleaner?

Oh, that's really nice. Her glasses were clean. Those glasses were crisp as hell. man. I was like, are there even lenses there? Let's see what she uses. Oh, she's got some windex. Okay. Nice. That's how bad Charlie's classes are. They got break out the big bottle. Oh, no. She's using the industrial windex on that. And now she's going to the back room. Dude, she's going to power wash them. That's cool. What if she just takes them? That would be hilarious. That'd be hilarious. Thank you. What was your name?

So, Kirsten, I have a question for you. How do you keep your glasses so clean? Well, I work here and I just use the glass cleaner. Do they make pocket-sized glass cleaners for a guy who's constantly on the road? Probably. You could go to like Walgreens or something, get some like travel size, I'm sure. That's good to know. I'm going to, I'm going to do that.

If that doesn't work, I'll go to old Riley's or something and get some windshield wiper cleaner. some WD40, I'm sure. I'm sure that. Oh, WD40? I think it might just be that they're so scratched that they just appear smudgy. Very scratched. Are they scratched?

That's insane. See, I'm not dirty. There's no amount of glass cleaner that's going to clean those things. I need new glasses. Oh, that's way better. It's better. It is better. We appreciate.

We appreciate your service. Really appreciate you. That was wonderful. Thank you. Well, Miles, we really need another sponsorship here because I apparently need to buy new glasses. Yeah. You got to go to the Warby Parker store in the mall.

Yeah. The only reason is when I walked to dinner last night, I walked by a Warby Parker. Is this an inside joke from my favorite podcast? No. Oh, okay. Is that just how people who say Warby Parker sound like it? Warby Parker is just funny because I started like,

we're an online glasses thing and then now they like only just do in store purchases. I've gotten these glasses are from Warby Parker. Are they? Yeah. Because why. Oh, I know why. Hmm. Who was it?

My, they had a, um, it doesn't matter. Um, so Charlie, how you feeling today? Are you, uh, my sister's framework there. Hmm. She's a come on by. I'll hook it up. Okay. Nice.

That's what got me in the door. And then since they have my thing on file, and I don't know if you guys know this, I'm known to lose my glasses once in a while. It's just easier. You should lose those glasses, so then you have forced yourself to have to get a new pair. She should have taken those out back and thrown them away,

so you had to get a new pair. But I see. Huh? I see you. No. Yeah. Anyways. Okay.

Yeah. What's up, Miles? What's up, dude? So you grew up here, Charlie. Not far away. What was it like growing up in New Berlin? New Berlin was great, man. We had a mulch pile out in the backyard,

mulch pile underneath the white pine, this beautiful, expansive white pine. White pines, when they grow close together, they kind of, but this one was a little further apart and sort of spread its branches, so it was an easy climber. What me and my brothers would do

is we would jump into this mulch pile. Now there was a gun, a little toy gun, hanging from a string and we had a game where we would try to jump and get the gun. None of us ever got the gun, Miles. The man's of reach never exceeds his grasp, then what's a heaven for? And the best times to jump into this pile were after Steve Zulaki. He was cool, man. The Zalakis, Sue and Steve. They never had us call Mr. and Mrs. Zalaki. We'd just call him Sue and Steve ever since we were like four years old. I mean, how cool is that?

I think that's pretty common. No, usually it's Mr. and Mrs. All of my friends' parents wanted us to say first name, agreed? But what, really? That never happened to me until, I don't know what you guys are doing in Fargo. I don't know how you're raising your kids, but I would expect you raise them better. Well, we would start with that and then they would be like, oh, don't call us that. Yeah, but at what age?

Like when you're four? I can't remember. I'm four years old over at Betsy's Lucky's house. I'm just two, I'm a year and a half old, just can barely talk. Anyways, you know the best time to jump into a mulch pile is after Steve got done cut in the grass because he was a saving the clippings guy and then he would go put his clippings in our mulch pile. There's no better landing in a mulch pile than after the grass clippings. So basically your entire childhood is just the plot of Assassin's Creed.

Assassin's Creed they were jumping in mulch piles No it's hay It's hay They're jumping into hay instead of Oh okay But yeah Difference with grass Clippings though is like on day three

You can You see the The smells come up from it They're visible And you guys were the stinky The Barrens family was the stinky kids That smelled like old mulch No but our backyard did smell

Like my mom and my dad That was they would have discussions, we'll call it about how bad the mulch pile was still. Also, before we move on, I do need to ask what you mean that you just had a gun hanging. What do you mean? So you're jumping off of a tree to try and grab a gun that was hanging from another tree, I presume? Nope. Same tree, just a farther branch.

And you guys just at all times just had a gun hanging from a branch. Yeah, I don't think we ever got that gun. Can you believe that? How did it get there? People who lived there before us. We don't know the origin story of the gun, but we do know that it was difficult to jump to. And I wonder if that's still the case now.

I bet you those branches have gone stronger and you could have climbed up over to it or gone farther out on the farthest branch and gotten a little bit more leverage. Maybe there's a little bit more bounce on that branch now. I bet I should go over there and see if they'd mind if I look. Yeah, after this, can we swing by your child? at home?

Sure. Okay. Yeah. Why don't we go there and see if we can just check out the mulch pile? Yeah. And then what if we get that gun, Miles? You don't find it weird that you guys just didn't, you just had a gun hanging from a tree. It wasn't a real gun.

It was a toy gun. Okay. All right. It was a toy gun, but not like a squirt gun. It was like. Like a cap gun. Yeah, it wasn't that. It wasn't there.

It was almost like a Nerf gun, but an off-brand Nerf gun. Okay. Mm-hmm. And he never got it. And in fact, I can't tell you for certain what kind of a gun it was even, Miles, because no, we never got it. No. Never. It's kind of like when Batman's trying to escape the league of shadows of that big tunnel and he keeps jumping and keeps jumping.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, yes, yes. So like that. Pretty much. And he doesn't actually, you know what the problem was, Charlie? Hmm. is you should have removed the mulch pile because just like in Batman,

he doesn't successfully make the jump until he eliminates the harness that is his backup plan if he doesn't make the jump. Oh, you're right. You guys should have moved, you should have gotten rid of the soft landing. And so you'd have to catch it

and then once you got the gun, it would slowly lower you the ground from the branch. The way physics works, to my knowledge miles is that would have broken the branch and then we would have fallen. But you wouldn't have fallen as hard as if you just jumped and landed on ground. You'd land it on your feet. I think that was your problem, Charlie.

Okay. It's a good life lesson. That's wonderful. Don't have a backup plan. Just go for it. Just go for it. Miles, I love it when you force one of your plans into my childhood memories and you stick to it even when it makes less and less sense,

the farther I push you on it. And I appreciate that about you. You're a good friend. All right, let's take a collar. Let's take a collar. Miles, you know what I like about these brunt hats that we got on right now? What do you like?

I like that I can wear these to, you know, work here. I can wear them like just working in my garage. And I can also wear them to church. Yeah. Baptism part. Well, I got to take them off in church. or my dad will, you know, smack me a little bit. But, um...

Yeah, but for the pancake feed afterwards, you can great. You rock it. Yeah. And I mean, pre-wedding parties, whatever, they go great with a tucks, you know, and they come in a variety of colors. I'm, uh, and they also got that little hint of blaze orange on them. I don't think that counts for hunting. You can't wear that hat out.

No, no, no. But it's a thought that counts. It reminds you of hunting season, which I kind of like. Me too. I also like nothing drives me up a wall more than a hat that isn't deep enough. Oh, yeah. These hats are deep. Deep.

I like them. I like a deep hat too. Yeah, because I don't like it when it like, because I got hair, you know, I got quite a bit of hair. So it'll like push my hats up. Yeah. These I don't have that problem. I haven't even adjusted my hat since I put it on. Wow.

Yeah, I haven't seen you touch it once. Looking good too. Styling. Yeah, it's really. they're pretty slick. I like them. Oh, should we tell the folks

that we got a promo code for them? We got a promo code bellied up. You get 10 bucks off in order right now and you can put them towards boots. You can put them towards the hat. You can put them towards the sweatshirts. They also got, we haven't even talked about the pants

that they got charmed. Oh, the pants are nice. For another day, which is for another day. We'll do that next time. But it's cool. I'm excited that we work with the workwear company. I think it's long overdue.

And so you guys got to go check them out at Brunt Workwear. Workwear.com. I'm going to tell this to you right now, Miles. Are you ready? I'm ready. This is fake spring part of winter right now where everything's mountain, but nothing is safe. Nothing. Sidewalks are slushed driveways or glare ice and everyone's acting like it's nice out because the sun showed up for nine minutes. Fake dopamine is what I call that. Phopamine. And you know, like it might look nice outside and then you're like, oh, wow, okay, I'll drive a little faster, right? but then the sun might melt that water and you're like, oh, it's above freezing. I can give her a go.

But then just like that sun goes away, frozen, black ice. You're walking to a mailbox or something if you park and don't crash and you're taking the trash out and someone's dog comes squirting by. And just like, you know, might have committed a crime. I don't know. But the next thing you know, you're dealing with a dog bite and the owner's yelling. He's friendly like, and he's not friendly. He bites on you or maybe you slip on the slush and go down hard. now your shoulders barking for a month.

And is that a normal day? No, but it could lead to a real injury. In that case, you want to call Nicolay 1-8-5-5-to-the-5. Nicolay. Hi, fellas. This is Sally from Shaboygan. Oh, yeah. We know who you are.

Oh, how's it hanging? It's been good. How are you? I'm doing swell, doing real swell. Yep, yep. Jared, remind me, has it been a year since we talked to Sally or long? A little over a year since we last talk to you, Sally. How are you?

I'm doing real great. Kind of had a trying year this year. A little bit of a cancer scare. Not going to go into it. But, you know, today I am wrapping Christmas presents for the company Christmas party. All right. Which is this Friday. Okay.

With me and my husband's hall pass talks, we can't have two on one hall pass. So we can't have two hall passes at the same time. This is Selma Hayek. I mean, I don't blame him. Selma Hayek, who's his other one? a Penelope Cruz. Okay. Wow.

You know, you guys have a healthy relationship and that's... We really do. We really do. He's a good, good guy. We're the official hall pass podcast of Sally. Sally and Shiboygan. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the bellied up podcast, the official podcast of Sally and Shoboigan's Hall Pass.

Kilt or no. I didn't even think we would go there, but it's absolutely true. We... we went right there and I think you did think we were going to go there because I didn't I didn't set you up that good yeah you kind of weren't more comfortable with one another I know going commando in a kilt really it is nice that you are saying that we don't the hall pass doesn't have to be redeemed at the same time I think Charlie and I would appreciate that yeah I'm I was going to tell you what city we are in sally but I feel like you might get

in your car. So you're in New Berlin. How do you know? Because I saw the real on Facebook today. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, with that really nice chalkboard thingy thing. Yeah, yeah. You're at the Cincinnati bar, but it's not in Cincinnati. It's in New Berlin. Oh, Cleveland. Oh, Cleveland. That's right. Yeah. That's right. Cleveland. Yeah. Sorry. Close enough. Same, same church, different pew. I'm too. No, Sally, each other's sentences. See, it was meant to be.

Now we got to watch what we say on this. Really do have to watch what we say. Sally's going to be out our window, Miles, watching us cuddle up at the Hampton Inn. Why would you tell her where I'm staying? Oh, are you at the Hampton? Why would you tell it when I'm saying?

The one in Milwaukee. So, Sally, last we talked to you. Last we talked to you, Sally, I think you had some New Year's resolutions. Sure did. And one involved chopsticks. Can you give us a little bellied update on your... What were the resolutions last year? How did it go and we want to know what your resolutions are for this year?

Okay. So last, let's start with chopsticks. Last year, I made two resies. Short for resolutions, Charlie. Thank you, Miles. Thank you. Correct. And I was kind of 50-50.

All right. So the chopsticks, they really worked out. I mean, that I stuck too. I started with, I know you guys were going to ask, you did ask me last year, like, what I was going to eat for some chopsticks. And I was like, well, it's not going to be a bowl of Cheerios. So I went to noodles and company. Okay. And I had Japanese canned noodles.

with extra cilantro. Hello. And I used the chopsticks. Now those are the wooded ones that you can like pull apart. And I scooped up like an entire handful of those disposable chopsticks. I put them in my purse. Really? I was like I was going to do this, right?

And I did really well. Like I know how to eat with chopsticks. I just like got better at it over the year. And I did actually purchase something. It's a bowl, a ceramic bowl. I got at Meyer. And it has permanent chopsticks. Like not the disposable ones,

but the ones that you can wash and reuse. Yeah. Okay. So now I'm saving the environment. And also bonus points, this bowl had can. cats all over it, not real cats, like pictures of cats on this Japanese noodle bowl

with reusable chopsticks. So I invested in that. And now I no longer have to swipe the disposable ones from noodles and companies. Yeah, you're going to keep your noodles and company in business. If Chinese delivered at the house, you know, I don't have to like say, oh, can you send extra chopsticks? No. Yeah, you order like one entree and you're like, yeah, there's going to be about 15 of us eaten.

So can you send some extra chopsticks with us? You don't got to do that. Did you ever, what's the trick to doing the chopsticks for those who don't know? It's really hard to describe. It's just like I'm right-handed unlike Miles. and so I have to I have to you put it in between your ring finger

your wedding ring finger and your middle finger and then you use your top your pointer finger to really maneuver the units oh yeah yeah so that's pretty decent that's pretty decent so the so you put it between your your middle finger

and your wedding ring finger correct um Oh, but that's on your left hand. I mean, I'm talking right-handed. It doesn't matter for me either way. So, okay, so you keep the bottom one. You keep that between, then you use your top one.

You know how to use chopsticks, don't you? What you want to do is leave the pinky finger out of it. Leave it out of the whole situation. Just let it hang off to decide. Right. You know how to use chopsticks, right? Yeah, I've used chopsticks, Miles. Okay.

So you got it. No, I was just curious. Just for people, I didn't know if there was a trick. Straws. Yeah, maybe something that she's doing that you're not. Yeah. Yeah, straws don't really work as an example. But we trust you.

We trust you, Sally, that you got. So mission accomplished. What was the other resolution? What was the other resolution? Moonwalk. I can tell in the way you said it. I can tell you weren't watching enough, MJ. Well, I'll tell you what.

my niece's wedding. I wanted to get good at the moonwalk for my niece's wedding so I could be the cool aunt on the dance floor. Yeah. Well, the wedding got called off. Oh, wow.

It's a quarter of being called off. So I don't think I wouldn't consider that a fail. Yeah. I consider that like a reboot, you know, it's like, like when you make a bet on a, a player and they don't play in a game,

you get your money back. You know what I mean? I agree. So yeah. What do you think? What do I think? I think that you got, like how far did you get?

Were you, was there part of you that was like, oh, thank God they broke up. I wasn't going to be able to pull through on this. Well, I will tell you this. I've got dance moves. Okay. I've got moves to beat the band.

All right. Do you? I was practicing the moonwalk and I couldn't freaking get it down. Yeah. It's a tough one. And it's really not. Since then, this year I kind of replaced my resolution, but it's not a resolution. I'm trying to do the VWalk and the Tootep that Snoop Dog does.

Crip walk. Do the Crip walk? That's awesome. Yep. Yep. So that's a lot harder. Yeah. So you could master one that's easier. So you said, you know what, screw it. I'll try something harder. Maybe that'll make me focus harder or? Exactly. That's good. And we didn't mind that the niece's wedding was called off because he was a freaking clown.

I mean, not by profession or anything. he just like no use for it and what's really what's really silly is well not silly i don't know what the word is all right let me take a little sip cheers here she is there she is sally all right cheers oh telly baron brandy or hair at all yeah i'm not sure what you said but i don't think i should say yes a little charlie baron's brandy right here right now oh okay yep i'm drinking the same thing Oh, nice. So, so I got to save the date card for my niece's wedding, okay, which was really fancy. And then I got the wedding invitation. Okay.

And it was super, super fancy. And I think that when it comes to wedding invitations, you know how expensive and fancy it's going to be by the invitation, by the number of envelopes inside of the wedding of a tape. So it comes in a burgundy envelope and there are all these flowers on it and then you open it up and then oh, there's another envelope.

So then you take it because that first envelope is protecting the second envelope. And then you get in there. And then there's like five of the envelopes. Then there's the RSVP card. and that comes with like a thin layer of foam in it and an envelope and a stamp and it's like how many frigate envelopes go through and she had to cancel the wedding I mean she's probably what eight grand in envelopes yeah they were the fanciest envelopes I did I never did done see I'll tell you

why never did then see you what she's never did done see why um why did they cancel the the wedding? We'll just put it plainly. Infidelity. And that's putting it lightly. And that's

why he's a clown or what? On his aunt home, man. Did she? I always had a funny feeling about him. I mean, not just because he came on to me the first time. I was going to ask. I was going to ask. How did he come on?

of you. Well, he was in the, it was in the coat room. In the courtroom. In the courtroom of a family event

and we were both getting her courts at the same time and he kind of slither up and he was like, oh, can I help put that on for you? And I was like,

I can put on my own court. You're like, no, I have hall passes, buddy. You're not. in him. You're not one of them. So he came on to you by putting your coat on, huh?

Trying to. Yeah. Were you struggling? Like, had you had one too many drinks that you couldn't get the arm in the hole or no? We were just like both in the courtroom at the same time. Wow. Well, that's flattering at least a little bit. Yeah.

You know, you got to get it when you. can take it. Yep. So did she catch him in the act or something? No. No. Oh gosh. You guys.

So no. So he works way up north. Uh-huh. And he lays, um, pipe. I know. Well,

let me get there. So he does like, he one lines or like fiber optic lines or something. Yep. in the ditches. And so he's up north in Wisconsin for weeks on end. And evidently, he had a harem, if you will, of lady women, just tramps that he was playing pipes with.

And that came out. And so, you know, the wedding was called off. Ah, yikes. How did they find out? I don't think my taste listens to this podcast. Probably not. Probably not. How'd she find out? Did she find some texts or did one of the up north tramps kind of go a little too far south?

Well, so he came down with a really bad disease. Oh. That deserves a round of applause for the clap right there. clap it up for him. Wow. And he had to be, it wasn't COVID, but he had to be quarantined.

And she, the wife, or the fiance, had to be in the same room, which didn't have to be, but she did, to help him during all of the, and that's when she went through his phone.

And that's when he thought, he didn't know if it was a spider. Oh, God. He didn't know if it was a spider bite or something. Because he's in, the trenches doing his job. Sure. You know what I mean? And so

yikes. Yeah. So she was with him the entire time and that's when she She was like, that's not a spider bite. No. No. She was helping him out and was there the entire time

and she comes across these text messages on his phone from this his harem of women. Wow. It was crazy nuts. Younger kids call it a roster, by the way. Oh, wow. I'm out of date.

Good thing. I don't know that. I'm happily married. Hello. Yeah. Hello, indeed. Except for the hall pass. Yeah.

Your roster's sitting at this bar right now. Well, okay. Interesting. Well, sorry to hear, but I'm glad she dodged the bullet. Yeah. She didn't come down with a sickness. Did she? No.

Okay, that's good. Real good. Really dodged a bullet. So what do we think for this year for resolutions? Okay. So this year for resolutions, I kind of made a pact with my hubby that we won't take PTO vacation time until like April. Mm-hmm. No, no PTO until April.

Oh, no PTO. No PTO until April. I feel like I've tried it over the years, but I never really resoluted to do it. So. And clearly your track record, once you make it a resolution, it gets done.

Oh, I give my best, you guys. I try my best. Is there any specific reason why you'd want to wait until April? Yeah, because I'm sick and tired of running on a PTO. in vacation time by the end of the year, you know, during the weird ass, like, Christmas and Thanksgiving and New Year's, all those times when, like, oh, this company, you know, my company's working a half day or it's working a full day and it's like two days in between, but then you get these two days off.

I mean, I always have to work during those stupid days because I'm out of PTO. And so I just really want to make it to the year end. And you know what? If I make it this year, then I really want to experience the feeling of being able to roll over vacation time. Roll over vacation time. Won't that be nice? When you're just rolling those dates, you get a salad a week. You can go do whatever you want.

Exactly. So here's the scoop, though. My husband and I were married on February 20th, not 420, 220. 220. Good to know. Good distinction. Yep. And so a lot of times we take vacation during that time.

It's a perfect time to take a vacation because it's after the holidays. And it's before spring brick. and the weather is shitty in Wisconsin. So we just scoop it up. You know, we might take two days of vacation. I don't get a lot of vacation time. You get two weeks? For me, like it's freaking gone.

By the time the rest of the year comes in and that there's that one week, like the 4th of July. That's what I mean. Yeah. And I'm trying to use floating holidays. And then I'm trying to use, you know, the company sponsors. or whatever, holidays. Well, guess what?

Why? What? I ruined it this year. Oh, no. You already took your vacation days? I took a day of PTO today to talk to you guys. Oh, come on. Oh, hang on. Hang on. No, you're wrapping. You're wrapping all the presents. Yeah. I'm trying to do that because my other New Year's resolution was to not procrastinate.

And obviously, I'm procrastinating by not wrapping a presence sooner. Well, hang on. Aren't you working though? Aren't you technically working right now for the company if you're wrapping the company presence? I mean, yeah, but I took a day of PTO and, you know, your call was supposed to be at noon and then it wasn't. All right. Well, here. In the middle of my day.

Here's the subtle jab at us. I gave up on two New Year's resolutions. Okay. Well, here's the deal, though. We're going to give you a hall pass on your New Year's resolutions, and today didn't count. Today doesn't count. You get a hall pass for it. Yeah.

That's our hall pass. Yeah. What's your company? We'll calm up and see if we can get that PTO back on your deal. No, you won't. I was going to do it. I was going to do it. Thank you.

Finally, someone calls Charlie on his bullshit. Oh, finally. I get called out all the time on my bullshit here, Miles. I work in Chbogne Falls. I can give you the phone number, but, you know, no. It was an agreement with the boss. Charlie trying to convince the business owner to let you have a free day of PTO. Hey, Mike, how are you?

Doing good, doing good. Who do we got? It's Charlie. So I wanted to talk to you about Sally. Charlie who? Don't worry about that, Mike. I just want to talk to you about Sally. Okay, yeah, Sally, we love Sally.

Yeah, she's actually gone on PTO today. Oh, you're looking to connect with her? Well, I wanted to see if I can. You see, I represent Sally in a number of ways. Okay. Yeah, I'm one of her two hall passes, actually. Oh, wow. And I was seeing if we could get that PTO right back on her record.

if we could just this is a no-go situation and in exchange she would be happy to show you i use some chopsticks what you say there mike you know what charlie you seem like a reasonable guy thanks there mike and that was a reasonable argument thank you so yes i'll actually give her an extra day of pt well perfect my k this was real good and as a thank you i'm going to send my buddy miles over to do a free day of labor for you okay Sounds great. All right. Also, just you brought up that hall pass thing.

Yeah. Sally's my hall pass. Really? Yeah. Mike, you dirty dog, you. I just had to get that off my chest. Sounds like an HR violation. I was sad.

She wasn't in the office today. I was looking to have a conversation with her in the coat room. Wow. Hey, did you use to date her niece, by the way? Yeah. Which niece? Tell me at one. She wasn't up.

Oh, the niece. Yeah, that was, yeah, that was me. Okay, okay. Well, good for you, Mike. We'll talk to you soon now. All right, real good. You tell your folks, I says hi. You watch for deer. You thought I was bluffing, Sally. I had a script ready to go. His name is actually Dennis. Dennis. Dennis is our tougher nut to crack, historically speaking. Yeah, mics we know how to handle. We can handle a mic. Dennis, that's a few too many constant. for my liking. But with one N or twos, one end or two's. That was so funny. My cheeks hurt from laughing.

Okay. Well, hey, that's how you know we got it. Look at that. Yeah. Well, anything else you want to, you know, indulge us with before we... I'd like to know, Sal, you're kind of the queen of reses.

You know, I think that's where people are calling you. You have any resolutions that you think Charlie and I should adopt for the year? Oh, man. You put me on the spot. I think Charlie needs to, Rezi, to come to Sheboygan for a show. Okay. I told you.

I'm coming to the while at some point. All right. Well, it's under, I think they're having renovations there now. Oh, shoot. Well, so that's a lie. Well, when they're up and done, with that. I'll get on over to the while. We haven't really booked the Shiboyan show

in a minute. But we are going to do that, though. You don't want to be fun, Charlie. What's that? Maybe in the summertime, you can come to the Lake Michigan, you know, the Malibu of the Midwest. Yeah. And do a show like on the shorefront

on the Lake Michigan, you know, have... Sure. I'd love to do that. Nice. You like... Yeah, a little shore show. You should do one like out on a pontoon and then and then do like a like a swim up comedy show where everyone's just like, you know, like they're in the shallow water and they're doing the like where they want to be underwater but it's too shallow. Yeah. If you were to take the water away, they're sitting in the water like this and they're on the pontoon doing a comedy show. There you go. Get to get the wave action coming in a little bit. Rocking that stage. Yeah. Make sure everyone's got there.

Actually, you're no stranger to that, Charlie. I saw you on a showboat in Nashville. Oh, God, that show, huh? Back in 2022. Did you? That was quite the show. I was with my best friend, Michelle Miller. You met her.

Oh, yeah, Michelle. The farm day. Yeah. That are on my podcast. Sure did. You got to tell me. Yeah. Tell Michelle I say hello.

I sure will. I was talking to her today. But anyways, so I saw you on the showboat, and she was chatting you up, and you did a really great show. And so you're no stranger to boats. Oh, thank you. For like some kind of cow convention or something, and I was her plus one. That's right.

That's right. You actually, you bring that up, you should be a professional, like, plus one to stuff like that. I feel like that's right up your alley. Yeah, Sally, you kind of bring the party. Well, Michelle was kind of like teasing me. She's like, are you going to be my Chelsea handler? And I'm like, what does that mean? Like, who's that? Oh, I know who that is. And she's like, you're going to be my handler. Like, you have to hand you a schedule and like go get my thing. Oh, wow. That sounds like a bait and switch. Sounds like you want to be my plus one to this

cool event. And then you got a. Yeah, I mean, did you take PTO for that? Because she should have paid you. I did have to take PTO, but we were, we were swimming at the Gay Lord, hotel and resort, school. And we were like, we dived in the water. We had so much fun. And we were walking back. She was like, well, let's go get ready for the event to meet Charlie Barron's at the

meet and greet. I'm like, okay. And so we were walking back. and Charlie was walking out of the fitness room that we had to walk past

and she noticed Yep yeah and you were walking around with somebody from the hotel so you must have just gotten there or something and like they were showing you the grounds and not to brag and she saw your whining coogel's shirt

and she looked over she's like oh my God it's Charlie Barrens I'm like oh my God shut up And we took a video with you and it was really cool. Yeah, I remember that. I remember that. You guys were,

you had wet hair. Yeah, we looked like pieces, like we looked the worst of ever that we ever could. And then we saw you like in real life, real life. You know, it's like,

oh, come on. That was Charlie's way of saying yes, you guys didn't look very good. What? No, no, I didn't say that.

You looked, you looked wonderful. We looked like drowned rats. And more of the chances. You were like on the way to the room to get ready and shower and, you know, go see you on the showboat. Yeah. And, yeah. So I just got to say the way you say showboat, I'm not sure.

You probably had to bat those Nashville men off you the whole weekend. It just rolls off your tongue like butter, you know. Oh, okay. Yeah. See? No, I just happily married. And I thought it was your hall pass. What?

So, so here's the school when I saw you. I was so flabbergasted. Like, it was so random. And all I could find myself to say is, hi, I'm Sally from Chiboygan. I'm happily married. I'm happily married. Sally from Chboygan, happily married.

And then you took Michelle's phone and you took a video and pictures of us and stuff. And I'm just like, uh, like somebody give me a brawl bag so I can breathe into it. Like, I'm sorry,

there and parents. Sally Grushaboy and I'm happily there. That's my game. You know, that's what I thought. That was your game at the Gaylord, uh, pool.

At the Gay Lord. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was that, that was a fun time. That was a fun time. I think it's funny how you say gay lord.

That's a gay lord. You did. He said that multi- just keeps saying it like that. That's how it said. Oh, man. Yeah. What does your husband think of us?

He accepts my whole past. He knows that, you know, I love you guys. He thinks you're funny. he has well on the last phone call we had I told you about the hell one I in Wisconsin at the casino or whatever where I saw Grandma's Sue and and I got I got the extra free ticket from the lesbian that was drunk he took me to that you know and he's like if that's what you want to do for your birth that's fine he's like that's fine he's like that's fine he's like but I don't have to see him every time you want to see Charlie Barron's.

I don't have to go every time. I get it. That's what my dad says too. I get it, you know, but I'll tell you this. Your husband, you tell him that we say hi. And there's no shame in him not wanting to come see it. Okay. I just know that you're happily married and you're Sally from Sheboygan and we're just going to leave it at that.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. But I do have a bone to pick with you guys. I was waiting for the bone to pick. I was waiting.

That's why I was trying to put a button on that one and get to the bone. We are going to Midwest goodbye here right now because it's been a good phone call so far, right? Yeah. We've had a bunch of laughs. A lot of, a lot of camaraderie, if you will. Yep. Beggars can't be choosers. But the last time we talked,

Charlie, you said that you would, yes, send a autographed bottle of Charlie Barron's brandy. You didn't get it? Nope. And Miles said, we will send you some you betcha merchandise because I am a Patreon I love, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I listen to it all the time. I'm on episode like 113. I'm working my way from the bottom up. And so I didn't get anything. Okay. You know, Jared, get on the microphone. Yeah, Jared, don't take accountability. And Jared texted me and said,

Hey, Sally, what's a good address to send? That's by bad. I apologize, that's my bad. Sally, we wouldn't do that to you if we were in total control of that scenario, which now we are going to be. We are. We're going to follow up with Jared. Yep.

Jared will find that address over there. Sheboygan. We'll get that sent out right away, Sally. Don't you worry. Don't you worry at all. Okay. Well, I didn't know if it was, you know, Ryan, the T-shirts guy fall or Jared, I think it was Jared's fault

or it was it. It takes a village for sure. Takes a village to screw up a customer service inquiry. I don't care, you guys. It's just that like I was waiting for that and like my husband orders off of eBay and Amazon and whatever all the time. So it's packages in the front porch like every other day.

And when I would come home from work, I'd be like there's my you betcha, there's my bellied up podcast. And then it wasn't there. And then at one time, I remember, it was raining outside. And my cat and I were in the front window, just waiting for the postman to come. And a tear trip down my eye and my cat's eye as well.

And so I never got it. I'm like, you know what? They forgot. But I don't care. Clearly, clearly you don't care at all. The mail did come. She opened it up. wasn't in there. And so then her and her cat just went and stood in the rain that day.

We all know how much cats like rain to. No, we were inside looking out at the rain. It was just such a sad day. Yeah. I mean, that's, you know, as leader of the company, you know, at least on the you bet you front, I will take full responsibility that that's on me. I'll blame it on Jared. I'll say, hey, Sally, I apologize for that. We're going to make it right. Charlie's going to send you two cases of branding. Hell yeah. He's also going to give you free tickets to any show,

to every show on his next tour. He can go anywhere. And then also Charlie's going to take you skiing on the lake. He's going to bring his boat up there. can go skiing behind Charlie's boat. And that's the way with, you bet she's going to make this right. We'll get you moonwalking on the water.

Well, we'll take our vote too. Okay. She don't trust Charlie's boat. She's like, that thing ain't going to start. Whatever. I just, I'm just sure with that. Whatever. I just, I just, if you guys could just like maybe both sign the beer's bottle and, um, that'd be great.

That's all I look for. too. No, yeah. I did purchase another bottle once I found out I was going to be talking to you fellas today. So that's what I have my little, my little, it's, it's just my little small glass. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Now I'm done. All right. Sally. We're glad you called us on that. We are. We want to be held accountable by everyone we promised something to and haven't delivered on. Sally, it's probably not just you. So that's a good reminder, bellied up crew,

if we promised you something and screwed the pooch, well, it's definitely Jared's fault. Yep, my fault. And probably also my fault. Back to the whole pass. We are. Oh, she.

Well, Sally, it was good chit-chatting with you, all right? Yeah, you guys too. Keep on doing what you're doing as long as it, you know, pays the bills and keeps you happy. and the world is a big bad place right now. So you bring a lot of joy and happiness to the world.

One comedy show at a time, one podcast at a time, one reel at a time. So keep on doing what you're doing. That's why your fans love you. Well, thank you, Sally. All right, I'm going to run through a brick wall now. Sally, Miles has a hard time with compliments. He's got a... No, I'm saying I'm jacked up.

Oh, he's jacked up. That jacked me. I'm going to run through a brick wall. Charlie didn't play sports. He's never gotten like a pregame speech before. So he doesn't know that that makes you want to run through it. It's true. Sally,

it's true. No, it's true. Sally Miles has started two more college football games than I have. At quarterback. At quarterback. Two more. D4 or D1?

D2. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Yeah. All right. All right, Sally. Sally, you'll be good now.

Midwest goodbye. All right now. Love your team. Thank you so much. Love you back. Bye now. Sally's real nice. Always a trip.

Always a trip. Always a trip. You can tell in the way someone says boat by how long their Midwest goodbye is going to be. Show boat. Show boat. So I was, you did that show on the show boat. And I was a boat to go. And then I saw you at the gay Lord hotel.

Well, Jared, you got a voicemail for us? Hey, my name's Chicken Man. I'm from James Island, South Carolina. And if I was mayor, I changed the name of the city from James Island to Jam's Island. Yeah. All right. Love y'all. From James Island to what?

James Island. James. Chicken man. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then later that day, he sent another one. Hey, this is Chicken Man. I'm 43 from James Island, South Carolina. As mayor on the first day, I know I'd say I'd change the name from James Island to James Island,

but I'd actually change it to Rick James Island. I'm Chicken Man and I approve this message. Chicken Man for Mayor, ladies and gentlemen. Chicken for Mayor. Chicken Man, Chicken Man. I like Chicken Man. Dude, what's great about our listeners is we get a fair amount of drunk voicemails. You know, it's like, it's like normal people when they get drunk, they call up their ex-girlfriend.

Yep. Our listeners get drunk and they call our hotline and just starts saying stuff to us. And I love that about our audience. I love that two miles. It makes me feel lucky to be alive, you know. Chicken man. God bless the chicken man. And God bless all of you.

Everyone raise your glass and shake your ass. It's been another episode of the Bellied Up podcast. Make sure you tip your bartender. We'll see you the next one. Okay, hope you guys have a good one. Goodbye now. Tudaloo.
