Here we are yet again, another belly up episode, Charlie, how you feeling? Miles, I'm feeling good. I got to be honest with you. You know, even though it's a bit of a rainy day out, I'm at it. But what I will have to say about it being a rainy day is we had some good sunshine earlier this week. So it kind of feels a little cozy on the bar while it's raining outside. You just kindled up here right next to wow sorry belly up belly up Yeah, no that would be clear me and Charlie are not belly up to each other. We're belly up to the bar Yeah, but it wouldn't be wrong if we were belly up to each other It's a nice cozy rainy day. It is a cozy. I could use a hoodie. Oh my gosh. Yeah, what do you like to do on a cozy rainy day?

Charlie, I would do you like to do on a cozy rainy day, Charlie? I would do what I like to do. Geez. Louise, that is a good question. Well, I think I'm doing what I like to do. I like to belly up to a bar and have them maybe get a hot toddy, you know, that's something nice. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. A little easy, hot liquor drink. Yeah. That's pretty good. I also like to do some games. I like to play cribbage. I like to play sheep's head. Those are my games. What are your favorite games? I mean, I like, I'm not a big card guy. I don't know. I get to I'm too competitive. So that's the problem. Is that like playing card games? Yeah. But then when I lose, I'm a sore loser. And then everyone else is like, wow,

this is very fun anymore. And so I lose, I'm a sore loser, and then everyone else is like, wow, this is very fun anymore. And so I know my personality, Charlie, and I try and keep it fun and light on a rainy day. You've ruined a few too many Christmas. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah. Monopoly, a board flipped over the whole thing.

So I just like to sit back on the couch, maybe have a beer and watch some Netflix or something like that. Good TV show. Well, yeah, what's your favorite? What's your, Miles, what is your favorite show of all time? Of all time. Yeah, and don't give me, I like this and I like that. You got to choose. Well, comedy wise, see, you already did it.

You said comedy wise. I said of all time. Are you going with the office guy. You already did it. You said comedy wise. I said of all time. Are you going with the office? Well, one show you can watch for the rest of your life. For the rest of my life. Yeah. I'm going with one of the narco shows. Really?

Yeah. Because they got the regular narcos. They got narcos, Mexico. Both of them are pretty great. I like I love those shows. Yeah, they are great shows I've only watched the first season. No, I've watched two seasons Yeah, they're all good. So those are my favorite if I had to just like yeah, I could because there's a lot of them

Yeah, can't choose a show that's only got a few seasons because they'll get over it pretty fast Yeah, it's a it's got a big library. So I like that Recently, I've been like in I obviously succession was a great show. I love the ending. I know the internet maybe didn't love the ending, but I did. You know what? I'm so far behind on succession. I got to get up on my game. I know. You know, I don't want to relax more. I you're working too much. I do. I really do need to relax more. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for noticing that. Thank you for noticing that more. You need a me day is what you need.

And no better me day than a nice cozy rainy day, Charlie. You know, Miles, who says this isn't my me day? It is. I'm sitting here chit chatting with you over at Zad's in Milwaukee, you know. And I don't know what I'd rather be doing today than maybe talking to some of the fine folks out there in the world.

Absolutely. So should we talk to some of those folks, Charlie, take some calls. Welcome to the Belly on podcast. Who we talking to? Hey, this is Sean. Hey, Sean, how you doing? Good. How you guys doing? Good. Belly on up to us. What's going on? I don't belly up to the bar. I like belly on up to us. So, you know, not much he says, you know, yeah, not too much going on, but you know, this weekend, Saturday, I got my first kickbox. Oh, wow. Okay,

boxer. Holy smokes. So I was wondering, you know, if you guys had any Midwestern advice, you know, I'm not from the Midwest. I'm from Massachusetts. But I was wondering if you guys had any Midwestern advice on, you know, kickboxing or martial arts. I mean, I got a great one for you. As soon as you sock them right in the side of the head, just go, oh, sorry. There you go. There you go. Give me to me in the ring. No, no. And also your apologies, your midwestness inside the ring will disarm the fella, you know, it'll take away some of that aggression. That can be your secret weapon right there, you know, pop up. Oh, sorry. Yeah. And then like right before the knockout, say, tell tell your folks I says, hi.

Right with that. That's a good one. Yeah. Ask them, ask, oh, ask them when you got in a headlock if you wore the right deodorant. Oh, that's kick. That's, that's, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, you don't do it while I was thinking MMA.

OK, kick, kickbox. Sorry, I'm sorry. MMA may be in the future, Bob. Yeah. And as you're maybe doing a little scoot dance around the ring, you could be like, oh, let me squeeze right past you. Pop. Yeah. There you go. Pop. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Yeah. The, the, the, the, the, the, oh, sorry, after each one will be a little bit. I would love to have you miced up doing this. I don't know where they put the mic.

Do you go shirtless when you're kickbox? That could be a possibility. Are you guys do not do what do you guys wear when you kickbox? Is there like the movies like no shirt? Well, it's amateur. So it's it's a year with gloves and finger. Oh, that's good. That's good. Yeah, you want to guard that. I don't know what you know when you get like at what point are you taking off the head gear?

Why is that a good idea ever? You know, I always wondered that. You know usually, usually throw the pick up the head gear, but let me tell you to be honest, the head here doesn't really do much. I mean, it's got to do something. And also, why don't you make it so it does a little more? I can't just inflate a little bit more air in that. It's your noggin. I have no idea. I don't, you know, I don't design them, but let me tell you, you know, sometimes you just get hit more in head gear.

I feel like, well, sweet to the wrong. Oh, yeah, because you're proud. It's like the NFL, the better the helmet technology gets the more concussions you get because people are leading with their heads because it essentially doesn't hurt as much. Oh, is that the deal? I don't know, that's my theory on the whole thing, right?

When you had a leather helmet. Yeah, when you got a leather helmet on, you're not exactly wanted to stick your nose in there and pop someone with it, you're going to use your shoulder. Yeah, but it's a little bit different in kickboxing because you're not really leading with your noggin. No, but what they're saying is he's not necessarily protecting his head as much because he's got to protect it more.

I'm Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, listen. That was very tough enough. What's that? I said, now he's catching on. You got it. Yeah,. Maybe I'd been kickboxing too much without head gear, you know, usually. So, yeah, there's some nights of drinking I wake up and I say, Hey, did I go kickboxing? What happened in my head? Left the head gear at home. I was wondering if your advice was going to have you know tell me to have one or two

Three years before I get in there. I might you know loosen the up a little bit. I mean absolutely that'll loosen up for the first few punches But then you're you're probably it's diminishing returns when you do yeah, and then you don't want to get any cuts where you start Bleeding a little bit because where you start bleeding a little bit because I believe it's more make you keep going. Alcohol increases the blood flow. So, to some place. I got a question for you. How does one get into kickboxing? Well, so I took a couple boxing classes when I was younger and I wanted to do it when

I got older and I just kind of never ended up going back. And then once I got old enough, you know, I had a job, I had a car, I started going back and I started boxing for about a year. I've had four amateur boxing fights and a bunch of my buddies from the gym were into kick boxing in MMA. So they started teaching me stuff and then I started getting into that. Here we are and I got my first kickboxing match this weekend. Okay, talk to me about your mentality going into the first kickboxing match. What's going through your mind?

It's just kind of the same as any other match. You just gotta say as relax as you can. Everybody gets nervous. You're gonna have nerves, but you know, you just say as relaxed as you can and I train, you know, five, six days a week, so the confidence really is just in your training. Yeah, I like that. Now a question for you. Do you have a specific plan going into it? What is the plan? The train, well, first and foremost, it's not a hit, but no, the plan is just to compose to relax. And like I said, just let the training come out. Other than that, like if you're talking very specific, I like to say a longer, I'm kind

of a more reindeer kind of fighter. So I kind of stand the outside and pick my shots, but with amateurs, it can be tough because amateurs just tend to crash in and it's a mess. But. OK. What is your next plan? Because everyone's got a plan until they get kicked in the mouth. Then what's your plan?

Just see how he set that up. He's a master of the way. I love launching it. Plan B is knock them out. OK, there we go. Yeah, you take one to the head and then an all-go all your training goes out the window and it's how can I KO this guy on the canvas? You start screwing in for the fences. Yeah, now if you go big for the knockout, you know, I mean

that's because like if you're kicking for the head that leaves you pretty susceptible, doesn't it? it leaves you pretty susceptible, doesn't it? It can, but kicks are typically longer than punches. So unless they counter you, if you throw a kick, you're usually you're pretty okay. Okay, all right, I get it. It just leaves something very exposed when you're kicking that high. That was what I was gonna say.

If you are getting tired in the ring, try and get hit in the gonads, so then they usually give you a break. So I'm going to break. Yeah. I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to advise against it. Okay. As someone who's been kicked in the pecker before, that's not something that you want, you know, especially by another amateur kick boxer. Yeah. Here's a question. Is it legal to sack tap someone

in the ring? That could disarm him a little bit. Well, you wear a cup. So usually, like, if you do get hit, there's not a few too bad. Sorry, cup check. Have they paid cup check someone in the ring? I mean, you can, but it's usually it's not, you know, you either get a point taken away or they get time to rest. You don't want to give your opponent time to rest. Yeah. And that's kind of below the belt, if you know what it is, we'll below the ambivalico court. A little conflict and figurative.

Do you, if you're using a cup, have the cup technology gotten better since I was playing football back in the day? Because they were not comfortable. I was looking at them like, I don't think that this is shaped correctly. I know how hard it is. Definitely gone better. It has. I mean, definitely gone better.

It's pretty good. Yeah, there was the initial one where it's just kind of like, the white one with like the little rubber around the edge, the rubber isn't it. Holes on it. Why do there need to be holes in it? Let the little guy breathe. Miles.

But then there is the other one where it kind of goes down into the grondole area. You know those kinds. That was the last I left cups. And I thought, you know, this is this is very uncomfortable. You ever you ever get sick tend to be. Do you ever like you ever get into the ring. And you're like, just starting the match. And then you're like, oh my god, I forgot my cup. And it throws your whole game off. Well, they usually check before. Oh, okay. And they don't know you play a car with a cup.

No, how does someone get... And they get the car. How does someone acquire the job of checking the cups before the match? Yeah, ask him for a friend. Yeah. Well, usually you're like a referee or like a commission guy. I don't think they have this specific cup checker.

It's what you don't make enough to do a job. It's like what a fluffer does as an update. Yeah, Moonlight is a cup check guy. Oh, man. Oh, this is great. What kind of you're going to wear trunks at this match? What's the plan? Yeah, I have a just regular moist eye short.

Okay, what color you're going with. It's usually the the way to really build your brand. You got a specific color you like? So I got a pair. It's, they're like a bluish purple with kind of like red flowers on them. They're really cool. And I'm gonna have that in the tank top.

I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. the tank top. I like that. I really like that. Really going for the beach luck. Maybe we'll flip flops into the ring and then throw them into the crowd. Yeah, bring a little professionally wrestling into this thing. Yeah, who can show necklace into the ring? Well, I like that. You got to stand out.

You got to stand out. You know, you can't just be, you know, it's a regular Joe going into the ring. You got to, you know, you got to have your own ring, you gotta, you know, you gotta have your own little style. Yeah, I like that. Hey, but do they have regulations as to what you can and can't wear? Do they take it that serious or can you have a little fun with it?

I mean, I think it depends on like what organization you're fighting for, the one I'm fighting for, they probably don't really care too much. Okay, well that's good. That's good. Well, I'm excited for you. I really am. Miles, do you have any final bits of advice for them? Anything like that?

Yeah, I would say that you just got to have that backup plan because like I said, everyone's got a plan to like get kicked in the mouth. Yep. And so you just, whatever plan you initially have, throw that out the window and know you're not gonna use it And I just say protect your Yeah, I think I think in between rounds if I'm having some trouble I'm gonna have to give you guys a call. Yeah, yeah, phone a friend. There you go phone two friends. Yeah Yeah, exactly

All right, I'll give you a miles. His number right now. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Perfect. Yeah, I would also say that you might want to hidden people in the head is all fun and games and fancy and all. But I can tell you what, you can really take someone down with some body shots as well. So the don't overlook the body shots, maybe a few to the ribs, get them breathing weird could be. Yeah, you got shin guards, so you're good there. Perfect. Yep. Hey, and if the whole kickbox, no, I'm more of a coach, you know, I like

the raw, raw speeches. I don't know miles. I think you could really get yourself, I'm more of a coach. You know, I like the raw, raw speeches. I don't know, Miles, I think you can really get yourself, I think you and I should kickbox. Yeah, I mean, you can be six months. I'm probably pretty good at it. I think so. Yeah, that's all you need is six months. Yeah, so I need, how are your hips? Oh, I got bad hips. Oh, you do have bad hips.

But if you only go on body shots, you don't have to get it above his waist very much. So that's true. Just a little. Oh, sorry, I actually kicked them there. No, everybody. Then what's your front kick look like? I got a nap. I got a nap. Front kick. Okay. So maybe go karate kid, go one leg knee up, hands in the air, front kick to the toes. The true play. Oh, yeah, that's that too. That too right in right in the chopper. Maybe I can talk from 50 calendar to his eyes and we'll be able to see me. Oh, no, you put

it in his eyes. I've had this stuff in my eyes made me see 2020. Okay, so be careful with that. That's that's not the way to go. All right. Another good way to do it. Yeah, you could you see imagine they put a little Vaseline on your face to so if you don't get cut up too much. So I just Vaseline in your whole body. Just that that can be your thing. Yeah. You're calling card. Yeah. The slippery eagle. You know, the slippery snake is. I know, like slippery eagle, you know,

because you're slithering. Slithering. Slithering. Slithering. Slithering. Slithering. You know, and they can't kick box. You see an eagle catch a walleye. Imagine an eagle kickboxing, dude. The Eagles have large talons. Yeah. Yeah. I would do that. Yeah. That's how they get them wall eyes, dude. I was fishing for a wise for a long time. And this eagle came right down and got a big old 18 inch wall. I could barely get out of the river or out of the lake. And I think we were fishing together.

We caught a Norther and threw it back into the eagle came and grabbed it. Well, I must have been one you caught. He's got the hook caught. Oh, too down. Yeah. Okay, Charlie. Yeah. Well, anyway, I've never fished for a while. I'm usually a bad guy myself. Gripping lips. Yeah. I like that. Yeah, well, you get some wall eyes going. Come on. You know, a little less time in the ring, a little more time in the boat. There you have it. I think that's what's going to happen. I like it. I said, my final piece of advice for you is don't lose your breath in that ring. There's gonna be a lot of adrenaline going. There's gonna be a lot of Stimulation from the crowd. I bet they're gonna be probably what 18k plus fans there. So it's gonna be a lot of you know, there's gonna be

Warm up songs, walk-ins, theatrics. You got to keep your breath. Good breathing technique is what it's all about. You have any good, good Midwestern walk-out song for me? Oh, Charlie. I mean, you know, I have a song out there, you know, hope, nope. You know, that's a good one. You could do drunk. I am as well. Yeah. That miles road that one. And you could put you could jokingly stumble into the ring to make it look like you're drunk and they pop them right in the face. Yeah. That can be part of your deal. I like that. You also could do roll out the barrel, Charlie. Roll out the barrel. That's a good one. Yeah, the crusher, you know, wrestler, you had the whole roll out the barrel deal, a little polka.

You could do the jump around. That's, that's a big one, you know, and I think kickboxing you're jumping around a little there. So, you know, we got our options for you. You could also just go a straight silence. Yeah, that nothing's more intimidating than a stone cold killer walking out dead silence. Yeah, just to make sure you don't have gas otherwise I could backfire That might be actually a good technique in the ring You lift the you lift you lift our leg. He's gonna think that you're going for his head, but you're really just lead out a little And then he's gonna get a look on his face. You're gonna disarm him and then go for it. Jerky and Coleslaw, that's your meal before you get out there.

Yeah, Sour Crout. Yeah, that's the way to go. Yeah, a little crout in your deal. So all right, sound good, Fanny. That sounds great. Thank you. Hey, thank you. And good luck on the fight. We're gonna be rooting for you.

We will be rooting for you. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you. We will be rooting for you. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you. Let us know how you do. I'll tag you guys on Instagram. Yeah, I do. On my story when I I love it.

I'll be looking out. All right, we'll see you soon. Thank you so much, guys. You bet you but bye. We are not fit to be MMA coaches. No boxing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I've never been in the fight in my life. I have. You have, yeah, do tell. It was a drive by it. I was walking with my buddy on the side of the classic drive by fist fight. That's all I was I was walking with my buddy on the sidewalk

and my buddy, he wasn't moving for the scooter. He was being kind of a little bit of a prick about it. You know, he was like, you can't ride your scooter on the deal and he wasn't gonna move out of the guys way. The guy had a gal on the back. And then they started jib jabbing, you know, little vocal jabs back and forth

as we're walking this way. He's back there. Now, he's trying to stand up for his gal. We didn't say anything about the gal, but he's trying to show like he's a big man. Little peacock and a lot of. Little peacock and so he gets back there. Now he's trying to stand up for his gal. We didn't say anything about the gal, but he's trying to show like he's a big man. A little peacock and a little peacock and so he gets back on the scooter. This is where the drive bike thing comes in. Goes full bore on the scooter and then you know, what do you call this one? There's a hey maker right to the back of his head and then hey, how you doing? Nice to see you guys. Nice umbrella. They were talking to us on

the seven and gets a hey maker on the back of the noggin. And then I had to how you doing? Nice to see you guys. Nice umbrella. They were talking to us on the side of the, and gets a haymaker on the back of the noggin. And then I had to step in and I got a, he was punchin' me and I was like blockin' blockin' and I was, yeah, I was, I was. And I've got a little bit of training. I did land one punch, but then he went into the streets. So I brought him back up from the street.

It's a stupid thing to fight though, because that you can easily hurt somebody. And then you're going to jail for man's slaughter. You know, so I don't I don't tell anyone to fight. It's a lot of parents with those lethal fists. Well, everybody, all you got to do is get someone off balance and they hit their noggin on the sidewalk the wrong way. You're going to the slammer for it. Fight and so darn anti street fighting podcast. Yeah. Yeah. I think is where it's at. 100%. Well, I'm glad that everyone ended up being okay. Thank you, Miles. Thank you. And I'll

protect you if we ever get into a fight. Did you? Is that I imagine though you did land one punch you had to have said, Oh, sorry. I, well, I did. I said, Brian, you said, sorry, man, you can't be doing this. You know, what's going on? And then there was a little, there was a gal with her little dog and she said she was going to call the police and we all get to add up. Yeah, smart. So anyways, folks, don't fight.

It's not worth it, all right? Make beer, not war. All right. All right. We'll take our next caller. Oh, welcome to the belly of the podcast. So we talking to my name's Cletus. Well, it's short.

Shorten. What's your okay, fella? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, what's are you guys doing today? Cletus is your name, we said, right? What's a charting for? Well, yeah, I have people call me Cletus

because my actual name is Cluster. Cluster? Cluster is a great name. I think you're the first cluster I've ever met. Yeah, where did Cluster come from? There's supposedly some hair brain story behind it that I don't really know if it's true or not. But there's something along the lines of the founder of some famous

diesel motor that was hit and he was friends with a great great grandpa on the war and something along them lines. I don't, it's come from a couple of generations of losers, so I don't really know. Okay. I can verify. Well, I got a question for you, cluster. Have you ever had an evening where you got lucky and then you showed up and saw your buddies the next day and they asked you how What did you go? It was really a cluster fuck last night or? That is my favorite nickname. Well, well, I got to hear that's probably one of my favorite. There we go. All right. We're right on Well, cluster clean is swanchibelly up to the bar with us.

Tell us what's on your mind. Before you do that, though, can I just say cleat is isn't necessarily that much shorter than cluster, is it CLI? Is it CLI TUS? Well, I don't CLI TUS or something like that. Okay, all right. Either way, it's a horse of peace. Yeah. Well, best is you're the same cluster.

So all right. Well, Klee, just belly on up to the bar and tell us what's on your mind. Well, my wife, she's really lovely. She's, uh, she's a really good cook, but I don't know how to tell her I don't want her to use my grill anymore. Oh, I knew there was a butt there somewhere. When you always start off with I love my wife. She's great. We know there's some butt, some sledgehammer coming on in the other end. So what happens? Yeah, sounds like there's a pain behind that voice. Well, she's lit my grill on fire twice now. Two times. Wow, good for her. Who knows? Do you forgive her for giving her a second chance? Yeah.

Well, she does the swallow that work. So I come home. She's the aftermath. It's started off as a nice shiny silver now. It's like burnt orange. Okay, so she really did a number on this grill ears. What kind of grill we working with? I think it's an expert grill. I don't know. It come out of a like a tractor supply. Okay. I got it in my pocket and I really lost the grill. It's just she's turned it orange now and not but there's anything wrong with orange.

She just I don't really want her burned down my grill. Yeah. I mean, I feel yeah. And a grill is a tough thing to burn down. They're actually made so they don't burn down very easy. Oh, it looks like she's getting there. She's really getting after and you gotta get it hot to burn down very easy. Oh, it looks like she's getting there. She's really getting after it. And you got to get it hot to burn that sucker down. Oh, yeah, it's it's it's I mean, like I said, it's burnt orange now at the top. So I she's gotten really hot. Yeah. So okay,

talk to me. Talk to me through. Yeah, talk me through like, where do you think she went wrong? What happened? I think it's just she chooses the grill on the wrong day You got to know in the grill you can't just grill any day you like I kind of disagree with you Cleetus I think you can grill any day as someone who's grilled and you know Well, if you've got that if you've got the right set up I I've grown snowstorms I know I know but if you go got the race set up, I've grown snowstorms. I know, I know. But if you go out on just for really one day, your grill just sitting out on your deck,

and the big old South might just come through. And you can't sit on a wood deck. Yeah, it's on a wood deck. You're going to maybe want to move that to the concrete away from the house a little bit. Maybe put her on the boulevard. Yeah, you got to read the owners manual on those. Yeah, that's not there. I don't need the owners. Okay, I see how it is. Well, okay. So you're looking for some solutions on how to maybe

is it that you just wanted to stop grilling or is that you want to maybe teach your how to grill? A little bit of both, but really I just don't want her to light on fire anymore. Okay. Well, that's an easy fix. I mean, it just, it takes a little bit of love, a little bit of patience, and you'll get her grilling probably better than you. I mean, and I do hate to say this, but you're not exactly doing

everything by the book on the grill either, having to not in that wood deck. So, you know, I think, well, yeah, I but I got a nice view. I'd like to be able to look at my view on, you know, I'm grilling. I just I don't let my grill on fire. That's all I mean, all right. Well, we got the situation, Charlie, maybe let's come up with I'm grilling. I just, I don't let my grill on fire. That's all I mean. All right. Well, we got the situation, Charlie. Maybe let's come up with some solutions here.

I think number one is you need to invest in a bike lock and just lock the lid shut. What do you think of that? I think she might lock him out of the bedroom. Well, let's see what do you think, so Charlie. All right. What do you think of that?

I, I, I, I, it's something to try. I, uh, I don't know. I'm worried that she might like find a way to get it off. She's rather determined. Okay. So she likes grilling. She does, she does. And I like grilling too, but that's my job.

Okay. Oh, maybe that's the deeper issue here. The issue's doing it on purpose. Yeah, what is it that you like so much about grilling that you're a little territorial about it? That's just who I am. I'm the grill man. You look every man's every responsible father's job

is to operate the grill. Yeah, I feel that when you're the grill master Yeah, it's tough to give up that old charcoal burger whatever you're working with it's tough to give that up when you're the grill master Yeah, do you do you enter her territory? Is she kind of well, I'll go ahead her territory. Is she kind of well, I'll go ahead. He chases me out, but I do have to go in there for food sometimes. So he's just talking in the house, not even like things that she does. Yeah, he's just talking that she wants in a while, lets him in the house. Yeah. If you bark enough at the doors, you've got a doggy door. He gets to sneak into once and a while.

I do have my own doghouse. Yeah. I like that. Well, maybe what you could do is you could, I don't know if you guys have cleanup week where you're at. We have a thing where you put out old stuff that you don't want anymore. People come rummage through it. And if that's no one else wants it, they take it to the dump. Maybe go on a cleanup week, go find yourself a grill that maybe we'll work.

Oh, yeah. And you get a his and hers situation going on. Let her destroy her own grill. And you get to keep your own for yourself. But make sure you put her grill off the deck. Yes, sure. From structures. Yeah. yeah, we've tried that twice now. You haven't been married that long, have you, Miles? Well, going on about four or five, six months. Four or five, six months, that's, that's the thing. Did she, did she, what's yours as mine yet? Yeah, we're, we're reaching that space, but she mostly just barks at me to get out there on the grill.

So I don't have the same situation that you do. But yeah, I know what you're going with this is she's going to feel a little jaded if you have your own grill and she has her own, right? Is that what you're going for? Yeah, I could buy her like a nicer one. If I want to pick up one off street, I just I don't know how well that would go. Okay. Yeah. You got the nicer one. I get the one off the street. Well, it's all about marketing.

My guy, you can go I cannot believe someone would throw this grill out. It's even nicer than the one that I got. And so, honey, this one's for you. Honey, I got you an upcycled Weber Grill, you know? A grill made from recycled ocean trash, you know, because technically, if you threw it out, probably end up in the ocean. So, you know, I mean, you might as well cut to the chase. And there you have it.

Well, I that's something to try. I still feel like at the template. My wife can be a meat lady so I just I gotta take it with the grain of salt. You know. Is that what you season with as grains of salt? A little bit of salt and pepper. Yeah exactly. Well okay. What kind of meats is your go-to meats when you're when you're the grill master? Honestly, I'm a burger guy. I like burgers cheese burgers. I burger burger burger. Do you ever get any Some barbecue chicken. Yeah, do you ever get any like jalapeno cheese burgers at all or is it just strictly beef and only beef? It's strictly beef. I'm not really a much of a jalapeno guy. Unless it's in like cheese, like peppered jack cheese.

Okay. I mean, I do enough, you know, between the barbecue chicken, steak and the broth. So I feel like my palate is wide enough. Charlie, I'd like to be married. Tell him how can he navigate? I'd like to be married. How can he navigate? How can he navigate this very tread lightly in this water of how to get her to not burn down the grill but also maintain a good relationship

in his marriage. I think there's only one solution. I think that you got to burn down the kitchen. Okay. And then she kicks you out of the kitchen and then she does that first. And as you know, what's mine is yours, yours measure you kick her off the grill. And that put a put a hot dish in the oven and just turn it on as high as it can go and just go hang out in the garage. Yep. Go wait. Yeah. And then when you hear the

smoke alarms going off, you go in and you go see This is what happens when I embark on your territory Guess you probably shouldn't do that outside either. I think you just let her say it You know just walk in and just wait for her to say you're never doing this again fine But honey, it's a compromise. I'll never do this again if you never do that again. And then boom, that's your solution. I'm thinking. Well, that sounds like a really good solution. But I think the best way is that maybe make her think it's her idea. How would I go about doing that?

I think that you just, yeah, I think that's it. That's it because it's her. I, okay. So it's her idea to kick you out the kitchen. Okay. So what's her idea to not grill again? Ooh, that is it. Okay. I think I got it. Okay, so what's her idea to not grill again? Ooh, that is okay. I think I've got it. Okay, Miles has it.

I think you have to dig deep. I think you have to gather all of your grill master knowledge. I think you got to splurge a little extra on the prime cut meats. And you got to cook the greatest meal she's ever had on the grill. I like this. One that she could never hold a candle light to. Don't forget the potatoes.

Yeah. Want something that she puts in her mouth and melts, savouries. It's got the right amount of texture. It is seasoned perfectly and you set the bar so fucking high, so high that she can't ever even imagine cooking anything close. And you kind of ruined grilling for. Don't forget to go, honey, I'm so sorry. I never meant to grill before because I didn't know this was even possible. I'm not even in a league that you are. I think you should do all the grilling duties from now on. And make sure that she remembers. Sometimes when you eat, you forget right away.

So put some asparagus in there. Every time she pees for the next, you know, 12 hours. So remember, yeah, get that asparagus now and you pee. Yeah, I know. Yeah, every time I eat asparagus, I forget. And then I remember, and then I remember, and then I remember, and then we're done. Yeah. And what do you think? Do you think you got that the meal? Do you have the meal in you? Staking taters all the way. Staking taters. There we go. he's a real meat potatoes kind of guy. Yeah. Yeah. He did me. Well, she's pretty pleased. I mean, you know, here comes the honeymoon. That is kind of like the honeymoon. Like treat you right kind of meal Valentine's Day stuff.

Stake and taters. Yeah. Every every two 14 baby on that steak and taters. All right, well, let's try even if even if there's free fees now out there. Really easy coming. If all else fails, you can just get in the living room. You guys want to watch show together go, oh, honey, I saw this new YouTube guy. He's really great. And then you just pull up grilling videos and techniques on how to grill properly. And you just go, wow, I'm learning so much. Are you learning a lot?

Yeah. Yeah. We're learning so much together. I mean, I can't wait to apply this one. I don't. What about you? Like, remember when he said don't burn the grill down, that was pretty awesome. Yeah, I'm never going to do that again. I guess I didn't know that you shouldn't burn the grill down. You know that. Could do that route Yeah, well if I ever get through moat in my hands Now that's a whole other Honey come out to the garage. Let's watch some YouTube videos You want your iPad out there Well, I think I think we gave them some good, Charlie. I always think we give good advice, you know, whether they think that or not, not really my advice is all the eye of the holder.

what is the correct response when someone says, like, thank you for your service? It's kind of similar. When you're at, when you're at quick trip and they say, oh, see you next time. Like, what do you say back? Like that's kind of similar. I feel like saying, thank you back. It's kind of weird.

Like you're thanking them for thanking you. Yeah. It's like when you're getting on a flight and they say, have a good flight. And you say you too. Yeah. That's never good. Yeah, it's like when you're getting on a flight and they say have a good flight and you say you too. Yeah. That's never good. Yeah. But I mean, we just did that.

Yeah, I mean, I work on an ambulance. You don't want to say like see you later because no one wants to see you soon. See you next time. Well, Charlie, we did exactly what you called in the talk about. I know. Okay know I honestly think So who says it mostly is it randos or people you're actually helping out? No, like just like people like it were like just in the community people that see us. Yeah, I think I just say you're welcome

Well, I'm just a spitball here. I think you go with you're welcome. Well, I'm just saying that spitball here. I think you can go with your welcome for sure. Yeah. Oh, no, it's just what I do. Hey, I'm not doing it for free. Okay. You know, I'm like that. You know, not doing this for my health. Yeah, I'm doing it for the money.

I'm doing it for everyone else's health. Yeah. Right. Right. Good to do that. Yeah, but I do it for you, not me. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. She's looking for you, not me. Yeah.

She's looking for kind of a Midwest version of it, Charlie. And I think that let's roleplay a little bit. Okay. I'll be the ear and Casey. Okay. All right. And I just broke my leg. Yeah.

You splintered me up. Yeah. And now on my way, just walking right out of that crime scene, you know, I'm good as new. That's how good Cassie is at her job. He'll do it. Doesn't even need to go to the hospital. Hell yeah. And I say, you know what, Cassie, thank you for your service.

This was awesome. You know, it's no big deal at all. No, it was kind of a big deal. I'm not. No, you healed them. You healed my leg. You know, I just got skills. I don't even talk about okay

It's it's not a big deal. Okay, but it's got a big deal my bone was sticking out of my leg And now it's not listen next time maybe just stick to 14 bush lattes, okay? Yeah, yeah, we don't need to do the full 24 rack, okay, okay, okay I could do that, but again really thank you for your service. You know what I appreciate you, okay? Okay. Okay. I think I can do that. But again, really, thank you for your service. You know what? I appreciate you. Okay. You know, it's fine, though. All right. Honestly, just go easy next time. Now you're stuck in the Midwest circle.

Yeah. I mean, what's good by you? Yeah. We're only halfway through, Cassie. We got to finish it, forgot to say. I'm trying to do a real-time roleplay. You should be taking notes not Okay, quick. Let's wrap it. Yeah. Well, I know I really appreciate I'm on my way to my folks house So oh no kidding your folks, huh? Well do me a favor and you tell mine says hi Okay, I wouldn't you guys eatin for dinner dinner. Yeah, we're having pork chops and apple sauce pork chops and apple sauce

You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that.

You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. You guys can do that. Well, Cassie, thank you for your service. Hey, you know what? It's just what I do. Okay. Yeah. I'm glad we got folks like you to help me. You know, I'm drunk and stupor.

Yeah, I didn't, a couple of bones sticking out here. Take it easy on the alcohol and, you know, you might as well keep the whole hoops at home next time. Okay. Yeah, I suppose I could do that. But, you know, when grandma's making old fashions, I'm not gonna turn it down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just don't make some with beer next time and we should be fine. Okay. All right. All right. We'll see. You want to come over for beer? Yeah, I was hoping you'd ask. I can just say how do your folks in person? That'd be fine. Yeah. Yeah. And they can also

thank you for your service. They can. Yeah. That would be great. Yeah. I know. I'll tell them it's just what I do. Okay. Yeah. All right, really good. Well, my bike's a little mangled right now as you can see on the side of the road here. Hop in the back of the ambulance.

Okay, yeah. Yeah, we'll give you a ride. Well, what's it gonna cost me? You got me. You got me. I gotta send my kids to college somehow. Yeah. So, well, the cost is great. Yeah, let's I got to send my kids college somehow. Yeah. So, well, well, well, well,

Cousin, this is great. Yeah. Let's all continue to thank you for your service on the way to my parents. That's just right in the back. I'll be in the front. Okay. No, no, no, no. Oh, bye. How'd that go, Cassie? She got. Oh, I think I, I think I could use that. I mean, by the time you got to the second, thank you,

I probably would have got called to another call. Oh, I forgot. See, we gave you plenty of outs and you didn't even need them. And that's it. You just say, well, I gotta go. You know? Yeah, this is a great time to use the line.

Duty calls. Duty does call. So, yeah, so, I mean, what's your approach right now when someone does that to you? Where you get a little shy when it happens? Is it kind of like, oh, yeah, it just, yeah, it just seems awkward. It's like, oh, yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. I mean, that sounds like a appropriate answer. And do they have follow ups that? Not usually. Well, then I think you're doing good on that. What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen

in your line of work? There was recently, it was in the same county as me. I didn't go on the call, but there was a parachute accident. That's why I don't parachute when it happened it happened. It sounds like they like flew into a power line. Shoot first or noggin first. I tell you what though that situation kind of sounds electric. I think I'd like to see that. Oh, miles. God, Lord, you know, it's important to stay grounded in these situations, Miles. Geez. Cassie's not laughing at this at all. Yeah.

Cassie, you showed her. I am. Okay. She's silent lapper. She laughs internally. Cassie, so I'm sorry, this is one you heard about or a call you went out on. It was in a neighboring town, neighboring town. So you weren't there to witness with your binocs.

Okay. Word travels fast though in the EMT community, Charlie. Yeah. How'd they get them down? They first of all did the person survive? Really old? Yeah. Yeah.

Good. And we can make all the jokes. We how many bones poking through the skin? Are we dealing with? Hi. I don't we can make all the jokes. How many bones poking through the skin are we dealing with? I don't know. I wasn't there. Do you guys have a big trampoline? Like in this scenario, like if that fella had a knife on him,

what he should, because he's in a, you know, in a big old parachute, cut himself out. Do you guys have a way to like, he can jump down on the trampoline? I think that's one of the fire departments. I don't know. That's why I'm asking. Yeah. I think that's one of the fire departments. I don't know, that's why I'm asking. Yeah, it's like a fire department thing.

So like some of them have like big blow up cushions. A blow up cushion. That's people. It's like, but they got the blow up machine for like an air mattress, right? Just hold on, we're trying to get an air tops. It's, yeah, it takes like an hour. Yeah, just trust me, we're going, it takes like an hour. Yeah.

Just trust me. We're in a help. Yeah. You need a snack. We can slingshot something up there to you. Here catch my Kindle. Just read a book. Yeah.

God, you look parts. You need a beer up there. We can help you out. Yeah. Oh, I had to hit your head. Hang on. I got another. Ss.

Don't wait. There's the auntTs down here. They'll fit you for a concussion real good now. Did you thank them for their service yet? Yeah. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha.

So what do you think, Cassie? She hung up. Now, I think I learned something. Yeah, it's all about hospitality when someone's hanging from a power line. Yeah. Cassie, what's? someone's hanging from a power line. Yeah Cassie what's in customer service? It really is what's the what's your favorite call that you've ever been on?

I don't know like they all kind of blend together I've been doing it for like two and a half years now like it's hard to like think of specific calls Yeah, so Next question is is what is your relationship with the fire department? Because the fire department is somewhat trained in EMT skills as well. Is that accurate? Well, our ambulance is like ran by the hospital and like around us is like volunteer fire departments and I'm on one of them as well. Oh, see your fire woman as well.

And then you're bad-ass Cassie. Gee, Louise. You're not And then you're bad-ass Cassie. Gee, squeeze. You're not just empty. You are full of surprises. Um, do you get that one? Yeah. Came up with that all on my own. Um, okay.

So which one do you like more? Being an EMT is my job and I'm no one really loves their job, like being a firefighter's hobby. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Lights is a fire fire worse. Well, maybe you'll remember some of those calls. What's your favorite fire call you ever been out on? The ones that actually include fire, which is like she's getting so sick of them. Yeah, she's getting so sick of administering Narcan. I tell you what, she's like just give me a fire at this point. Geez, Louise. Yeah, it's always like carbon monoxide alarms and like fire alarms that are like the batteries they're dead so they're beeping. People calling for that. People doing controlled burns and stuff. Oh yeah.

Okay. Charlie, you ever do any controlled burns out at your grandparents place? I've done a controlled burn out on a prairie. And I'm not talking about when you're experimenting in college either. Oh, miles, you know, chase boys. First of all, those were nice. They're fine. They are. Yeah, but sometimes you do it on a windy day. Control burns are necessary. Yeah, you should call, you should call like this back and tell them that you're doing it. Oh, so people are calling in reporting a fire and you just have a control. Yeah, or you're going to have. Who's the drive down the road and call it in? Yeah.

And then you get the Calgary of volunteer firefighters. Yeah, because you're volunteering. This is your time. Yeah. What as a volunteer firefighter, what are your top three pet peeves? Over ambitious volunteer firefighters. Oh, the heart. Oh, yeah, explain to me what. No one did do Oh, the heart. Oh, explain to me what I do it for the title.

Oh, okay. So maybe there's a little ego involved with the volunteer fireman. What give me an example? There's like, there's some guys that do it for the cool hat and a couple t shirts and they wear them every single day and the mustache. Yeah, they'll carry Yeah, they'll carry four pages and two radios just so everyone knows. They're like, is that guy? They got their f-150 souped up with the lights and got a bunch of stickers on the back. Okay, that's number

one pet pee. Yeah, I see where you're going with that. What's another one? And this can be of other firefighters or it can be of house calls you go on. My second one would be volunteer firefighters that aren't physically fit enough to do any part of the job description, but It's volunteer so we take who we can get So if you're in turtle-like Wisconsin you better think twice before dealing with any sort of fireworks or flammables because it may not be the the Strongest crew come in is that what you're saying? Well, it's just like I know probably half of our department can't get up a ladder.

Yeah, so two stories no-go, ramblers or what you're looking for is what you're saying. Yeah, luckily in turn, like we don't we don't got many buildings over one story. Okay, well that's good. That helps. He can at least aim a hose. one story. Okay, well, that's good. That, and I'll see, can at least aim a hose. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And that's two, what is your, my third one would be quarter houses. Oh, I'd like to call them collector houses. For the record. Yeah. What's the weird news? The, the age word around here. What's the weirdest? I don't know. I don't know. What's the weirdest situation you've walked into involving a so-called hoarder? Like, there's some houses that look like completely up

kept from the outside and you walk in. And it's like just cattle paths throughout the house. You have to like weave around stuff. And I imagine there always in like the way back rooms. Yeah, and I imagine that it seems to be that there's a lot of newspapers and stuff that get hoarded and that stuff I tell you why we'll go up and flinch. Yup, they keep every single newspaper.

They always have a cat or a dog that they don't let outside. So they just do their business forever. A lot of cat piss. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Capacity. Well, I mean, I'm familiar to the Midwest basement.

Like that's collecting, but some of these are more than just collecting. OK, I'll take your word for it. I'll take your word for it. Got it. All right, so those are your people. People think this volunteer fireman stuff is all it's just not it's a lot of work I think that people need to realize that that they're

truly volunteering their time they are and It's not all sunshine rainbows. Obviously. No Can be somewhat of a fire fest and therefore all of you out there should make sure to thank your volunteer fire fighters for their service fire Flight. Yes, Cassie. Thank you for your service Thank you. No, no, no There's always a shortage You're welcome That was that was the test Cassie that was the test at the end there

Yeah, Cassie last That was the test at the end there. I failed it. Yeah. Cassie, last question on the hoarding situation. You get in there, have you found anything any cool stuff in the hoarder houses? There's usually lots of animal mounts, like some weird ones. What an animal.

Like a mounted stuffed cat one. You found a mounted stuffed cat. Oh, well, that's just that's just a way to honor fuffles, you know, I mean, it's either that or you a shoe box. Did you check to see if it was actually alive? Because cats got nine lives. You never know.

You never do know. But it just been very still. I don't think it was. Okay. All right. Well, did the months. We helped it all. No, I don't think we helped it all. You know, you see a stuffed cat like that sitting there. Here we go, Charlie. Here's the test. You tried to help, but I still failed. Yeah. Well, that's on the, that's on us. You on us. Yeah. If your student fails, it's on the teacher. Yeah. Now, question, though, we did put a lot of effort in.

Would you think us for our service on this call right now? For sure. For sure. That didn't sound. Thank you, guys. That for being comedic at least in an EMT's life. Oh, well, you know what? That means a lot. It does mean a lot, you know, when it comes to our service, it's something that we really enjoy helping out folks like you, Cassie. Yeah. And just

hearing the stories that you're talking about, you know, with all the stuff you go through with the EMT and the volunteer firefire and showing up in these hoarders households, you know, seeing the stuff cat that's got to, that's got to make you, you got a feline something weird when you see that. Oh, oh my gosh. She laughed. I heard an audible laugh from her on that.

I heard an, and she did not give us an audible laugh. I don't think that was a, no,. He was at a real laugh. It was more of a thigh. Oh, well, what can you do? Yeah. But if you if in your heart, you need it to be a laugh, it can be a laugh. Okay. Thank you. In fact, I do need it to be a laugh. Today, that joke was a dumpster fire. Good thing we got a volunteer fireman on the line. I like how you go full boss and accident. You were doing British before when you were trying to be a firefighter. So, you know, you've at least come a long way in this interview. Yeah. Well, Cassie, thank you so much for calling in and thank you for your services.
