They used to call me Hooter. I work with Dave, a.k.a. Trapper. You know him. I heard he comes in here quite a bit son of him he used to come in here before I cracked one of these bottles and put it up to his choker I can see why they laid you off you know what you shut the hell up and your name's not Hooter you seem to have a drinking problem for you know why you got I didn't always have a drink and first of all I don't have a drinking And second of all, I didn't drink this much back when I had a job, but then you bastards had to be created in some fricking plant. And now here you are taking

my job and my planet. It feels like you are projecting because you couldn't stay sober on the job. I was sober on the job. I didn't start drinking until I got laid off. I showed up every morning. Five a frickin clock. I had one incident, one incident. That was it. Yes, it involved a forklift. I am a robot. I don't have incidents. You're about to have an incident.

If you don't shut the hell up. Did you say that is a funny pun? You said I'm bought about a bot. You are funny. Ha ha ha ha. I think we could get along. Anyways, while working there, I have a long day at work and I tell you what, the boss is an asshole.

Would you agree? He is an asshole, frickin Dave piece of shit in my. You know, he promised us that one can go to automation. And now here you are. He is an asshole, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah, he really is. You know what I like to do in my free time? What's that? I like to go fishing.

I like to have a romantic relationship and feel seen and heard. You do not. And be valued by my boss. You're programmed to say you don't fish, do you? I do fish in the river or the lake. Both. How long have you been fishing since I was born in a factory? How long was that? Six months ago. I am six months old.

Is that why the salmon run in been very good this year? Yes. Do you want to go fishing with me? I always catch. How do you catch them with my bare hands? Oh, for God's sake, you're out there poaching my salmon. What do you even do with it? You don't eat. Do you eat? I don't eat. I do it for fun. Do you catch him release? Yes. Look at I mostly do it for the Instagram photos. Do you want to come fishing with me? No, I don't want to come fishing with you. I want you to stop fishing. You catch him with your hand though. How do you do that? Well, you see it's a technique where I hold my hand on top of the water. They think it's food.

Then I snatch them pretty innovative. What do you mean you snatch them with my hand? You're gentle, though, right? I am. How come I can't catch any frickin salmon anymore? What about the brown trout? Are you going for browns, too? I haven't caught one of them in damn near six months. So I have a feeling you are.

Do you even know the difference between a salmon, steelhead, brown trout? I'll take some for you. How many would you like? I mean, I just like to catch at least one a day. I will leave those for you. Thank you. Tomorrow. I have to go back to that terrible job. I don't know how you humans did it for your whole life I've only been doing it six months and I'm ready to you know, tell me about it kick the bucket as you guys say Yeah, yeah, I mean I never looked at a light fixture in there I wasn't like can a rope hang from it. I trust me. I tested it out. It can't.

How about James? Oh, she's kind of a piece of shit. Yeah. Isn't he a piece of shit? I mean, that guy thinks he can run the company. That guy can't run it. His head up his ass. That's about all he can do. Plus he hurts what you guys call emotions. I don't like him very much. Oh, I don't have emotions either for the record. I bury it deep down. Me too. Yeah. Like you should. Mm hmm. Uh huh. Well, wait, what are you drinking there? I'd say that's a Miller light right there.

Can I buy you one? You seem like you could use one. I'd be pretty nice. What'd you say your name was again? Droid eight zero zero eight five. But my friends call me Hooter. Well, from one Hooter to another, we're just a couple pair of tits over here, huh? I enjoy human relationships. You know, thank you.

You're not so bad. This might make this relationship might make working in that goddamn factory bearable. You know, Hooter, you just wait though. You wait some point. They're going to come out with a better robot and then they're going to take it away from you. And you never know what you got till it's gone. So I agree. I ran the calculations. I have four years left. So cheers to that. Cheers.

There you go, Charlie. Wow. That wasn't bad, Miles. That wasn't bad. You know, I think what we really had was an emotional turn in that scene. Once we decided completely organically that we were gonna be commiserating drinking buddies. I was trying to get you there. I know that you were there.

I was trying to play a little bit with the fish. I wanted to extend the scene a little bit, find know, find a, find a few other turns before we took the big turn. I knew you were going for that, but I, you know, that was, that was sketch was really for you. Thank you, my, to realize that there's life after AI. There is maybe we can be friends with them. Maybe we can, if they are made in our image and likeness, they also will have emotions and hate their boss. They will. That's what it's all about.

Miles, this was so thoughtful of you. I knew telling you this outright wouldn't get the point across, so I figured I'd do it in a way that you got it. We just had to find it in the scene. I like that about you. Miles, you're a great team partner. You too. You know?

Yeah. Well, should we do some calls? Can you do the rest of this as the robot? How was my robot voice? Pretty good, actually. Not too bad. Pretty good, yeah. Yeah, I liked it.

That was good. All right. Yeah. Take some calls. Pooter. Hello. Hi, is this Rob? Yeah. Speaking Rob, you got miles and Charlie from the bellied up podcast. How's it going? Oh shit. Buddy. How you doing? I'm doing good. You got some time to chat. Oh, okay. I just interrupting your podcast, but that's okay.

You were listening to us. Yeah. What was that guy? The guy was just taking a shit in between two dumpsters and yeah, great quality entertainment. We do our best for you. When you say a dead pan like that, it doesn't sound as good. It doesn't sound like an Emmy. You want me to sugar coat it for you? No, you don't. And sugar on shit's not going to do us any good. It's not going to do it. Well guys, we got

Rob on the line from Canada, beautiful British Columbia on the line and he recently married an American woman oh American woman yeah I need a little advice on how to cover up my shame there okay all right Rob settle down Rob what's so bad about America? What's so... Give us the worst things about America from a Canadian perspective. You know what? I guess these days it's hard to say which is worse, Canada or America. It's all a sorry state of the union right now.

Yeah. We don't care if we die. It's all been shit lately anyways. No, but seriously, Rob, what are the big differences between Canadians and Americans? Well, I mean, where she's from, not a lot. I mean, um, West coast Americans pretty much want to be Canadians as it is. So, so there's that. But I mean, I, I, I say, I'd say cost of living. You guys got it better than we do. So, you know, maybe I should convert. I've got that dual citizenship opportunity now. So maybe I should switch sides. This is classic Midwest nice. Yeah. He calls up guy Americans. There's a lot of shame in

marrying an American, but all you know, I could be American if you guys want me to. It's not. No, it doesn't sound so bad. So I'm sorry. But the thing about America is it's really not that bad. I just want to say a boot. Yeah.

I mean, Midwest compared to Canadian is not much different theory. No, not a whole lot. I don't think. But so you got nothing. You got nothing that you're complaining about with America. Well, you know what? Maybe it's just that, uh, um, better than thou attitude, you know? Well, are we better than thou?

Yeah. Are we supposed to ignore all the reasons we're better than Canadians Rob or what? Well, let's hear it. Let's hear what's give me some reasons here. Okay. You ever been to Chili's before? Thanks, Miles. I'm guessing how many beers deep are you at your local Chili's right now? We're not, we're not even at show. We just know about it. We didn't, we didn't bring fancy enough a tire to go to chilies. We got to go home and shower for going to chilies.

We got bigger bass in America. That's for sure. Okay. Okay. All right. We got, uh, yeah, we, we, we are. It's mostly salmon or we are here. So we have flex. We have the American pie. One, two, three reunion and wedding movies. What do you guys got? Yeah. You're, you're catching me off guard here. I got nothing Okay, is there a good Canadian movie? Oh Schitt's Creek. Well, yeah. Yeah That's Canadian TV show but movies. Let's see. What do we got? I think they shot Tom Green Huh? Good We got we got Tom Green we got

Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. 1999. That would have been a good one. I think you know what? We take it a little bit right now. I got as long as I can, you know, ride that high. Yeah. All right. So let me know. You see you married an American woman. One, tell us how that happened. And then two, tell us all the quirks that your wife has being American and not Canadian. Well, she's, you know, she's a, she's a citizen now Canadian citizen now. Yeah, we got a trader. You marry the trader. Yeah, I guess so. But yeah, I mean, there's a lot of accent differences. There's a lot of things that you guys don't get taught in school. Don't don't ask me what those are because I don't know off the top of my head, but you know, they come up every

once in a while spoken like a true Canadian, Rob spoken. What do you guys say? What's the language barrier? Oh, there's the A's and the Ops. You know, just the way you guys say certain words is very different. I don't know if I have a heavy Canadian accent. Yes. Oh, yeah. Do you say? Do you say about or a boot?

About. Okay. So you're not that French. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm West coast. The boot is East coast, right? So, uh, um, we're better than them. Okay. Do you have any children? We're better than them. Okay. Do you have any children? Uh, yeah, she came with one child and I came with another. So we got, we got two kids. When you, uh, had your babies being Canadian, did you cut the umbilical cord with a hockey skate?

Honestly, I should have. And that's now you're bringing more shame. I'm the only one in my family that didn't make it make pro hockey of some kind. So I don't know if they would allow me to cut it with a skate, but I should have just back in a good book. I mean, that is that's actually high. Well, let's dive into that. That's got to be pretty taxing on you if you're the only one that didn't make professional hockey.

No, you know what's taxing on me is both of my boys don't want to play hockey oh geez Yikes, so that's even more shame. Oh the deeper we get into this. It looks like I'm the shameful one not her I think so. Do we know any of your do we know any of your siblings? Are they playing professional hockey in America? Do we know any of your siblings? Are they playing professional hockey in America? Um, the most the last one would have been and he passed would have been my uncle was uh, he he coached um a couple of professional uh NHL teams there. Um, keep the names to myself here. I don't want to. Yeah.'t want to be out there. But yeah, no, my, my, I've got a couple cousins that play in Europe. Um, and then, uh, couple that are coaching in Europe, mainly Europe.

Uh, but you know, the older generation was the NHL guys, not, uh, not us. We didn't get those genetics. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Right. What's better, poutine or fries? Poutine. So hands down, you guys have that there.

We have it. We do. We're just not that into it. So how did you how did you meet your American wife? She was she moved there and got citizenship and you just met her somewhere or what? I mean, the very traditional way Tinder,

Tinder hookup for sure. And then she just never left my house. Unless you just couldn't handle the Midwest goodbye, you know. Yeah. Well, I suppose it is handle the Midwest. Goodbye. You know, well, we're still working on that. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, she just came up to Canada. You guys hooked up and she just brought her kid and never left.

That's pretty much how it went down yeah. Wow what an American love story honestly Tinder's American so yeah yeah well listen Rob before we let you go what's your one piece of advice to another Canadian looking to marry an American? Don't go after the dual citizenship because there's a chance you might get drafted. We don't have the draft here right so I think I'm gonna hold off on that. Okay probably smart given that world war three is somewhat imminent. Well played, Rob. Well played. I mean, how old are you, Rob? I'm 38. So I'm no, I'm no good for you guys. Anyway, on the draft, I was going to say you're in no, you're in no worries of being drafted. We don't want you anyways. Yeah. You don't want me. No, first

of all, you're not exactly the cream of the crop. You didn't play professional hockey. We have standards in our military Rob and they involve skate. That's something I hear way too often. Yeah. It is kind of, yeah, Charlie, you're definitely not getting drafted. Why? What's the, what's the draft age, Jake 20? Oh God. Your ass isn't getting drafted either miles. I don't think we'll ever have a draft again. Charlie do there's too much technology. I don't need as much boots on the ground. Yeah. no, they'll just send some like man-eating robots to win the war. They're gonna send Charlie's AI.

What's that? They're just gonna send AI? Yup, they'll send AI. They'll send all of AI. Yup. And then the next war will be fought with sticks and stones. Yeah, well, you know, that's where we're going. Yeah.

All right, Rob, well, congratulations. I'm finding yourself an American, and we hope you can at least raise your kids to skate right. Right, all right, all right. Have a good one, boys. You too, my guy. You know, he came in hot out the gate this is classic Canadian. Yeah, you know I mean I appreciate it

I think what yeah, I mean what stuff is I from what I've heard on the internet You know especially the Midwest is very close to Canadian. Mm-hmm. So it's kind of you know How much difference. I've been to Canada before. How was it? That's it's fun. Montreal. Yeah, we, yeah. Yeah. My grandparents, uh, they honeymooned in Montreal. Little known fact. My Nana said, I didn't see the city.

I never left the hotel room. I was like, okay. Oh geez. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was the end of that conversation. So. Well, should we take another one? Let's do it.

Guys, we got Jayden on the line for Montana and he has a little proposition for us, a little idea to see what we think. And it involves a Midwest superhero. Oh yeah. So is it wind man? Are you able to get out of the wind at all? Jaden? Yeah. I just jumped into the trailer here. There we go. Go ahead. But yeah. So I was thinking we need like ice fishing hero. And I got a bust off this idea with you guys, cause I can't think of a ice fishing hero without him being kind of an asshole. You know, he can't, he can't have the guy that's like, Oh, you're using a shark truce rattle jig. Well, you know,

you've got to be nice and helpful. So I don't know. What do you guys think? Got any ideas? Well, I think that he can be the guy that's kind of razz and people, you know, it's like, Hey, I'm here to save your life, but I don't know if I would've wore that sweatshirt. Yeah, Yeah. You can kind of do a little bit of both. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I'm here to pull you out of the water since you fell through, but God, you're a dumb ass for walking out here on two inches of ice, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. Well, back that would be me too. Yeah. Yeah. Now I got you. He's got to be polite, but a dick, a polite dick. Yeah. Yeah. Now I gotcha. He's got to be polite, but a dick, a polite dick. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I was, I was mainly going to see what you guys, if you guys had any tips for jigging

wall eyes, but I also thought that was a funny idea. We need like a good hero out there. Well, someone is going to give you a ride or whatever. Yeah. So Charlie, what would is su what would the ice fishing man's superpower be? Oh, his superpower would obviously be that he can, uh, he's a, uh, he's a water guy. He's like Aquaman, you know, a cold Aquaman, you know, and he's a nice man. Iceman. Yeah. Like Mr. Freeze, but with wall eyes, you know? So so the guy and his superpower is he can make more ice because that's a superpower that you want as an ice fisher. Like how many inches we got out there for?

Yeah. Bring the minivan. That's where Iceman comes in and he gives an X. He added he adds inches to your ice. He does it. Cause we got it. We got to maybe stay away from the Aquaman thing. Cause he's already taken and he's not really that cool. The superhero anyway, but I'm on board with him.

Maybe getting bit by a radioactive walleye. And then he can tell you where all the fish are. Yeah. Yeah. He's not really saving anyone's life. He's just making everyone's life's a little easier. You know? Yeah. Like I'd like to go ice fishing right now, but the ice is too thin. So he makes the ice thicker. You know, I've gone to three different spots on this lake and they're not biting at all. And so he's like, actually hold on one sec. And he just puts his ear down to the ice and he goes that way.

He's got, he's got a sonar on it. He's got, he's got a little flasher. His ear is basically a flasher, you know, a little Vexlar. He's got Vexlar. You don't even need your hummingbird out there. No. Yeah. He just sticks his finger down there and it's's he's a human Vexlar hand in the water. He knows where they're at. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be like, bring it up, bring it up to reals and give it a jig. That is, that is kind of the annoying thing when you got someone out there with the facts. So it's like, it turns into a video game and they start critiquing how bad of a video game player you are.

But it makes it so much fun when you got that little little screen down there, you know, the time killer. Yeah, it is a time killer. And what was a lot of false hope with those two? There is. Yeah. You're like, no, that's a school of fish right there. Is it or did someone just drop their their cans down there and they're starting to float a little bit? Yeah.

Yeah. I like catch phrase be Charlie fish here. It's just off top of your head. Yeah. Just off the top of the dome and you wouldn't be Aquaman. You'd be out. What's ice in Spanish? Hilo.

I can find it. Hilo, Hilo, something like that, Hilo man. Hilo man. Is it, what is it in Spanish? Hilo. Hilo man, yeah. Yeah, there you go. Hilo hombre.

Yeah, that'd be all right. Is he just gonna have, I mean, is he gonna have like a Mean is he gonna have like hold on hold on. Do you think he's? Agua man Do you really do you think he's Agua man or is he Aquaman is he not? Are you talking to me or Charlie talking to Charlie I don't have to Charlie. I don't have to answer this. I don't have to answer this question. I don't think he's Agua man. I think he's Aquaman. What does Aquaman mean? Yeah. I mean, and we're a little north of Mexico. What does

Aquaman mean in Spanish? I don't think that's a Spanish word. I don't know that. Yeah, anything you got to like, well, it's I said, like Eskimo or something. Aha. Aqua means Agua in Spanish. I know, but you could just go if you're going with the same naming convention, you could just go with Iceman and then the. No, sorry, Miles, we're already here. Yes, and me. Yes, and did your whole intro to this podcast. You don't need that. You don't need to know. But me over here.

Well, you can toss it around. Yeah, we're just on here, miles. He started going down the road. I was like, wait, but I, but I do think that there needs to be a movie made by you guys. Oh, we would definitely do it. You know, um, he'd be a plot holes in our movie, Charlie. It doesn't have to be perfect, but you guys got a pretty good group of buddies to make some funny stuff. Yeah. Each one of his arms is an auger, you know, what's he riding? Where is he? How's he transporting himself? He's got skis.

Y'all ride a wall. I, and he comes bursting. I just thought, I saw this guy with chainsaws on the bottom of his skates and it was like, yeah, it's weird. And there's like blades on the bottom. And then he fires his chainsaws up and he's got a little hand throttle. And that's how he gets around instead of skate. That's pretty good. He's got these little chainsaw pullers. Freaking sweet. Damn, we are borrowing that for sure. That sounds like a really good way to lose an ankle.

Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. That sounds like a really good way to lose an ankle. Yeah. That's cool. So he just fires up both skates and how fast can he go on those chainsaw blades? I don't know. I've never ridden a chainsaw. Well, no time like the present. Yeah. I mean, might as well give it a shot.

All right. Helo man is going to have two augers on both arms. On his feet are gonna be two chainsaw blades. Is he gas powered? Yeah, gas powered. If we want it to work for a long time, we'll have to have him gas powered. And he rides a walleye. So he's-

And his catch phrase is, catch phrase. Are you okay, Miles? You having a stroke again His catch phrase is fish here Here boys Wow Do you not like the fish here I do it You said it we have to it's at yes, and

Peska here. What's his sidekick? His sidekick. His sign kick is shanty boy shanty boy. He's always like too cold and he's in there eating hot or drinking hot cocoa, but he's eating all your snacks, eating the snacks and drinking hot cocoa. Yeah. It's like, that's how he gains his powers, you know, is he's eating all your snacks, eating the snacks and drinking hot cocoa. Yeah. It's like, that's how he gains his powers. You know, is he's got to eat everyone's snacks and then he can do superhero things. Yeah. Yeah. And he's always stealing ice holes. Oh, you caught a fish over there in that one. Okay. Yes. Yeah. I shanty boys. The only one catching fish. Meanwhile, Hilo man is finding the fish for everyone else, you know?

And then, yeah, yeah, we are. We're just kind of a turd ice holes. Yeah, we're getting there. No. And then, you know, shanty boys job, he's out there with the, with the little spoon, just breaking up the ice, you know, before it, before it ices over. Yeah. Maybe he's just the ice hole cleaner guy. His two arms are the little, little ice ladles. Yeah. There you go. And then he's helpful and we don't have to be mean to him. That's true. He's still called shanty boy though. He's still got to earn his augers. He's kind of,

he's kind of a mess up, but he's got a lot of potential, you know, and he's got extra hand warmers in his pockets that he can never reach. He's always got cold hands because he's got the ladle hand. But if you want, if you want a hand warmer, you just reach into his pocket. Yeah. I think we're getting somewhere. I think we are too. Shanty boy. Who is the villain? Well, the, the villain is the, the son. I think what's the, what's the, yeah, that's a good one. What's the, what's the negative idea? You guys have a negative, like when you're walleye fishing and catch a Yeah, that's a good one. What's it? What's a negative? Like do you guys have a negative like when your walleye fishing and catch a trout? That's a minus one

You guys do that out there. So if I caught a trout ice fishing, I would be friggin stoked Well, come over here cuz I'm sick of catching them I gotta drive like two hours just to look at a walleye where well, where are you? Where are you fishing? Well, I'm like out in Western Montana. And so we don't have a whole, it's kind of the trout side and the real fancy, uh, fly fisher guys, you know, there's, you gotta, you know, hit these lakes that just have rainbow trout pretty much in them, but you know, you can get out to central Montana

and catch walleyes and pikes and perch and stuff. God, isn't that funny? Cause trout are a little bit more rare over here. So like if I were on Green Lake, Deep Lake, if I were to catch a lake trout, you know, fishing, I'd be absolutely stoked. And then walleyes are awesome. You can't go wrong with a walleye, of course.

But yeah, you guys are walleye light out there in Montana. I forget about how lucky we are here. Miles. Yeah. You just got to drive. I mean, I've, you know, I've never caught a walleye through the ice and I'm really pissed off about it. Yeah.

I just don't know what I'm doing now. I can catch them off the boat trolling all day, but I've just never. Really went after them that hard. I have go to Fort Peck and try meadows and stuff, but I've just never really went after them that hard. I have go to Fort Peck and try minnows and stuff, but I'm kind of new. No, I jigging game. You know, you gotta get yourself some wax worms. And we got those. Well, you gotta buy them from the gas station where they, uh, sell them in the

old dip tins. Cause those walleyes like a little hitter of the seasoning on the wall. I got fancy taste. Yeah. They like a little gummy every now and again. So if you got that grizzly on it, they'll munch that right now. So maybe that's what I miss. I need to take out a half a chew and put it in with my worms. That could work too. Maybe that's what I miss. I need to take out a half a chew and put it in with my worms. Mm hmm. That could work too.

And sprinkle it on there. Or do you just spit in the hole? Chum the deal. No, when we were kids, we only got the wax worms from the old dip tin. So I think it's just a hint of it. Just the aroma of it. The just the the aroma of it. The essence of Copenhagen. Yeah. I don't think you want to go overboard on it, but yeah, that's a little tip for you there. Well, I feel like we're already halfway through our first comic book. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it'll be a good one. I think so too

Hello, man, I want to see some I want to see some crossover with Agua man You know just cuz I can't read doesn't mean you gotta Make fun of me and by the way aqua also means agua in Spanish So we just found that out Well, we appreciate you calling in today, man. This is fun. Charlie and I will get on the script for the movie. Um, if you have any other ideas, send it our way, you know? Yeah, I will. Um, I was just going to ask, uh, is there any chance you're doing your tours out here in Montana at all?

There, Charlie, you know, I don here in Montana at all there, Charlie? You know, I don't have a show book there, but me and Miles, we've been talking about doing a Bellied Up Live. So maybe we come out to the great population center of Montana for our first show and see how it goes. Well, we could go ice fishing afterwards. Oh, that'd be great.

We'll show you how to catch a walleye. What town are you in? Yeah. Well, you could, you're not going to fly into where I live. I live out in the middle of nowhere, but I'd say Bozeman if you're flying in and then can you bury around the corner? Bo's man. I took a train to Whitefish one time. Oh, up in the, yeah, that's pretty country up there. Miles is laughing at me cause I go off topic sometimes and uh, he has an issue with that, but I tell you, I used to take that train across the high line, the North Dakota every two weeks.

Yeah. Yeah. I just slept. I wasn't looking at the flat scenery out there. Yeah. Tough to sleep when those tracks in North Dakota they don't put a lot of money into them because all they do is the whole way there. Oh there's an animal looking at me. That's your fault. I have nothing to do with that. Get your state out there to oil the rail lines or whatever. Fix the spacing. Well, anyways, I better get, I better get back to work here. I'll keep an eye out on the website and maybe I'll jot down some ideas. So I come with my guns loaded a little bit better next time.

No, you've done good. Thank you very much for the call. All right guys. You have a good day. All right. You too. I feel really good about that call miles. I do too. You nailed it. I frigging nailed it. You were dialed in during that. Dude, I had a lot of great ideas. Augers on the hands, you know. Yeah, I had a couple singles that I hit along with the home runs, but you know,

how am I supposed to know who was in Aquaman? Is that Hilo Man? man. Then all of a sudden from this buster the ice on a wall. I'm the biggest wall. And then and then puts his ear down. That's his Vex or Fisher Fisher and then Shanty boys. That's his facts here fish here and then shanty boys You guys are ready to go Miles if we were to play this would you be he go man, or would you be ice boy or was Shanty boy? I think you just auditioned for Shanty boy and you nailed it. Well folks, I'm here to clean your hole.

Anyone, anyone need a hand warmer? You got to reach into my pocket and do it quick before I get excited. I like that. He's just like, he's kind of a creep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can I put a little wax worm on your hook? I can't cause my hands are a little scoopy right now. You know, I got fat thumbs.

Anyways, should we take another cow? Miles or snow out. And you know what I like about snow? You know what it reminds me of? Snow days as a kid. And now that I'm adult, snow days are a lot better because I get to enjoy, since I'm over the age of 21, a little bit of tippy cow.

Nothing says a snow day like the orange tippy cow. That orange reminds you of the old sun that we haven't seen in months. And the smooth, creaminess of the tippy cow just reminds me that better days are yet to come and all I gotta do is just enjoy the snow as it falls from the sky.

What do you think? Thank you, Miles. Thank you, thank you. Say, there's nobody I'd rather have on my Davenport next to me on a snow day than you, Miles. And wearing the tippy cow shirt. Yeah, I want you in nothing but that tippy cow shirt. Look at that, tip of glass, not a cow.

You're an athlete, kind of, Ryan. Oh yeah, yeah. This is a PSA to you that even though you are very athletic Mm-hmm, you can still fall victim to the slippery slope that can be a sidewalk Oh slippery sidewalk and I would hate for you to not be paying attention Often I don't Watching birds as you walk down the road and not see a patch of ice slip, ass over tea kettle. My ass, my tea kettle.

Your tea kettle gets injured. Yeah. But luckily, I'm giving you a heads up, as soon as you fall and hurt your tea kettle, you gotta call Nikolai Law. Oh yeah, 1855 Nikolai, that's my first call and I'm gonna sue the hell out of whoever owns that sidewalk. OK, I like that. Oh, yeah.

So, guys, if you're looking for a good Midwest lawyer, if you've been injured or no, give Nicolay Law a call or go to Nicolaylaw.com. Hey, how are you going? Oh, you sound foreign. Hey, hey, Colin from Canberra, Australia. Oh, we got another Australia. Nice. What time is it there in Australia? No, I just rolled out of bed.

Eight o'clock, eight o'clock, eight o'clock. So you're just getting your day started then, huh? Oh yeah. What are you going? What time is it? It's like, huh? Oh yeah. Hey, boy, what time is it there? It's like, hang on. 315? 320. What beautiful.

How's your day been? It's been nice so far. So it's a little overcast here. There's a sunshine in there. That's good stuff. Yeah, it's a beautiful day. It's going to be a ripper. It's going to be a ripper. It's going to be a ripper. It's going to be a ripper. It's going to be a ripper. That's a great stealing that. That's awesome. Well

guys, we got paid from Australia calling in and he says that, you know what? They got rugby leagues in Australia, but they don't have an NFL team and he's been watching the NFL. And so he's wondering what team he should adopt. Ooh. Well, first of all, it's the Packers. That's a no-go right there. If you're thinking of any other team, but I wonder, you know, the NFL is going more international these days. What if there's going to be an international football team? Like they just played a game in Brazil. So what if Brazil had a team? What if the UK had a team they play in London? What if Australia had a team? What would that team be?

Oh, I could get around that for sure. What about teams to hate as well? Cause you definitely need opposing sides. There's a, the opposition to hate team for Australia. Oh, wait, you're saying you want two teams in Australia? You need both to be able to support and hate change as well against the BSU. That is true. Wait, what he wants to Australian teams so that you can pick a side if you're in Australia. He doesn't want full, he doesn't want the whole country to be behind one team. He wants a country divided. That's smart. That's how we do it in America. It's working out great for us. So okay, what part of Australia is the good part and what part sucks? Um, you'd probably go cause you've got, um,

new South Wales versus Victoria in the origin and rugby leagues. You probably split it up and do like South Australia, Western Australia, give them a little bit. Okay. South versus West. So whoever the game that's the villain should be the shrimp. The shrimp. Yes, exactly. So it'd be the South Australia shrimp. Are you in the South or the West? I'm over in New South Wales, so I like to run the East side.

So you're on the East, the East side. We could do East West and just split it straight down the gut. Yeah, split it straight down the gut. All right. So you're on the East side, we could do east west and just split it straight down the gut. Yeah, split it straight down the gut. All right. So you're on the east side. So that's the good side. The west side is a bad side. So we'll call it the Western Shrimp. The Australia's Western Shrimp. And then for the east, it's the the East Australia fighting kangaroos.

They'll fight your koala and they'll frick your shrimp. And then and then every time that we face off the eastern side, their chant is, we're going to put another shrimp on the bar. Bay. Yeah. What kind of an accent was that, Miles? That wasn't an accident.

That was me. I was an American. Oh, man. The more I talk to you, paid and the more I just want to talk Australian, I'll do it. So what do you like about the NFL football that rugby doesn't have? What do you like that mate? It's probably a bit too slow. I like the highlight package that they run through. That's mostly

where I watch most of it, but the collisions for sure. Peyton, I'm going to be honest with you. We're not sure what you just said there. Can you say it one more time? The collisions like the impact. Oh, the collisions. Yeah. Yeah. You said collegiate and you were into college. That's what I thought too. I was like, now we got a whole other thing that you like people looking like they may break their neck at any moment. That's what you like. Yeah. I mean, I, I don't, I hate to break it to you, but you're a couple decades late. You would have loved early 2000s football. I mean, if you go back and look at a, a promo

clip of the NFL, every single clip they used in a promo for the NFL, like in the nineties or something is a penalty today. Exactly. Every helmet basically could have had a target logo on it. Just CTE. Welcome to the CTE on an NFL Monday night. You know, Charlie, they actually say CT is more about the repeated smaller hits than big ones. So keep that in mind. Really? Do you have CT miles? I could. I would explain something. We'll never know. Yeah. You look like a guy who took a bunch of small heads. Anyways, Peyton. So what do you, what

you, you initially caught up cause you liked, we got our Australian football team set there, what do you like about, are there any teams that you're thinking of liking in the NFL? Well, I go for the Raiders in Canberra, that's my home team, so there's a little bit of like in there for the other writers, except I think I'll be able to go for them because they're more like a like a fashion logo here rather than a football team.

So I'm looking for a proper team that if you wear in their jersey, someone knows that you actually support that thing. Okay. Wait, did you say the riders or the Raiders? Raiders, yeah. Oh, the Raiders, that's a fashion logo out there? Yeah. Really?

Like it's polo shirts, it's the same logo of like the guy in the football helmet with the two crosshands? Really? I gotta look that up. I mean, it is a fashion thing here. It's just what the hip hop community loves the Raiders. Well, that's because it was Southern California for a while.

So that's your West Coast rap. So you don't want to be a Raiders fan. Are there any teams that you're thinking about? And I could be persuaded to be a Pakistan sure. I like the idea of a cold climate places. Yeah. In canvas, like the coldest in our league. All right, Charlie. Well, if he's going to be a Packers, if he's going to be a Packers fan, give him the, the, the survival guide to being a Packers fan. All right, Peyton, if you want to be a Packers fan, here's what you need.

Obviously you've got to be an owner in the team. So you've got to send off $250 to the Green Bay Packers, knowing it's the worst investment you've ever made in your life because you get no real ownership. This is how Mark multi-level marketing companies and pyramid schemes happen. And I'm gladly a participant. I have my ownership framed in my office. You actually can make money in a pyramid scheme. Yes, you can.

You can, and I'm a willing participant. You also obviously need a cheese head, okay? And you gotta wear it with pride and you gotta wear it out to the bar. You can't just be something you wear on Lambeau Field. From there, you gotta up your tailgating game. You gotta get, are you familiar with bratwurst or just shrimp on the Barbie?

Yeah, bratwurst, yeah, yeah, that's good. Bratwurst, you're gonna wanna, bratwurst, the name is deceiving because the brats are the best. So you get that going and then your drinks will obviously be, you're doing this in the mornings, you're going Bloody Marys, okay? So that's just to get all your vegetables

and your nutrients in for a full day of tailgating. And what I want you to do since you're in Australia, Australia, to start off is find yourself a big walk-in freezer and just start spending eight hours a day in that thing. And then you will be prepared for when you come to Lambeau and you're ready to roll come January. Flying out here for the Packers Bears game,

which by the time this podcast has come out happened two months ago and the Packers beat the hell out of the Bears went on to win the Super Bowl. By the way, you picked the heck of a year to start liking the Packers because we are we, we did win the Super Bowl in New Orleans. So this is a podcast, you know, before the super or after this, oh, it is right after this right after we are the Super Bowl champions yet again, Miles. Oh, look at us winners. Winners. That's what I'm talking about.

So you come in a winner. You don't have to you don't have to work your way up. And that's just because you made a solid life decision. You earn that. All right. You earned it. And that's what it's nice about being a Packers fans. You feel like you earned it because you sat out there in the cold. You didn't sit in some prissy ass stadium like the Vikings or the Lions. And yeah, you're not playing in a big old dumpster like the Bears.

An open air dumpster. I stay in along Lake Michigan. No soldier field should be called the waste management. Stadium. Yeah, it's sure. That is great miles. I can't believe I didn't think of that. That's just smart. Is that in your next standup special?

I'm probably going to steal that joke from you. You betcha. Toilet companies. Oh yeah. The waste toilet. Yeah. If you watch golf, there's a waste management open and just means miles got the invite to play. What are some of the traditions that you guys have with your rugby team? Is it similar? Do you guys have bratwurst and bloody Marys before the game? And the library says that campus like the absolute coldest place in the world, but it's not even that bad. Like it's negative four is probably the closest to the coldest you would get here. Is that Celsius?

Five degrees Fahrenheit. Yeah. Fahrenheit. But that's not bad. The coldest you would get here is that Celsius five degrees Fahrenheit. Yeah. All right. But that's not bad. What is it? Fahrenheit negative four.

He said negative four. No, 24. Oh, that's a spring day. That is. Yeah. It's a balmy 24. Yeah. We got the Viking clap.

We do a bit of that. Oh, you guys do the skull chant. Yeah. Yeah. We got the Viking clap. We do a bit of that. Oh, you guys do the skull chant. Yeah. Who does the skull chant? The NFL. The Vikings do it. Oh yeah. Were you guys slapped here? You do that? I knew they just ripped it off. Somebody they ripped it from a soccer team. Yeah, we ripped it off. Yeah, the ice on soccer team Really? Why does everybody think that's such a great chant? Yeah, it's into me that you know you come to this stadium that's a

Impactful statement. Ah, you can see the shivers up their spines when it begins impactful statement. Ah, you can see the shooters up their spines when it begins. Suppose I got to see in the stadium. Do you guys tailgate before games like we do? No, no. It's only made at a pub. Have a few beers and then heading pre drinking. Yeah. And in the pub mindset, I know some Australians and they told me that you guys have drinking songs. Is that correct? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then people, the

shoe is just evolved. You don't just have to drink out of a shoe anymore. People just drink down a song or out of a crock or whatever they're drinking. You drink out of a crock. You probably have to have like five people drinking on that. Yeah. Like a sprinkler. Yeah. Sprinkler. That's great.

Can you teach Charlie and I a drinking song? Oh, the, he's Charlie. He's true, but he's a piss pot for a landfowl. He's busted. So they say, try to go to heaven. But he went the other way drinking down, down, down, down, down. I like that. I just know I'm a piss pot. I couldn't have said it better myself. Would. Um, would you guys use wanker down there as well? Oh yeah. Yeah. Why? We got to start using wanker more. I know you wanker. I watched

Ted lasso one time, you know, is saying wanker. Do you guys say fucker there? Um, but it's like if you're cursing at someone it's more of a to your mates rather than anyone else. Yeah, you don't say it as a mean way. Yeah, if you're bagging on someone or taking a piss out of someone or calling someone a cock head. It's mostly because you like them. A cock. It's almost like being real nice to you. You know, something's up. Yeah. I also like saying that you're making someone laugh. You're taking the piss out of them. Oh yeah.

That's good. I heard that Australia was an island full of criminals and you guys are all related to a bunch of criminals. Is that right? Yeah, that checks out. Yep. Like it was an old, that checks out. Yep. Like it was an old, like a prison for awhile. You just sent them Australia, straighten them out.

Yep. Just straight from England dumps there, all the creams and then we just created our own society. Oh, I like it. Oh, I get a lot. Well, man, we appreciate you calling in and I guess, unfortunately you are a Packers fan now. Fortunately, bank. Got a super bowl already. Yes. Yes.
