Welcome to the Belly to podcast. I am your host Charlie Barons and this is my assistant My Not wrong My I'm wrong miles come on. You're my you're my co-host my partner and crime the rod bend to my Batman Okay, yeah, all right. Well guys. Welcome back. Well, another episode of Belly to podcast we're presented by Fleet Farm. And today, Charlie, we are at Schulers in Golden Valley, Minnesota. You ever been to Golden Valley before? I think it's my first time in the Golden

Valley mile. What do you think of Schulers? I love the wood paneling. Wood panel everywhere. I like the wooden dowels up on the wall Oh, yeah, really that used to be open to something at some point and also I like how the pipes are painted a wooden facade Where's that right there look at the pipes on that wall they blend right in where right there on that wall? Yeah, that amazing. I mean that's great camel. I didn't even see it. Some great signs here to Coke is it. And we're talking about Coca-Cola. Although the sign is from a narrow when Coca-Cola was actually

putting cocaine in their beverages. Yeah, that's been to Bunk Charlie. I thought has it. I don't think so. Oh, I don't think that's been to Bunk. That's just usually what people say when you bring up myths. They usually say it's been debunked. Also, the Budweiser sign with the looks like a 14 pointer. They got some googly eyes on that buck. Do they? And it's a wild looking buck man.

Nice. Yeah. Well Charlie, we're here at Schuhler. Is the place is popping actually for lunch break. It was popping when we got here Like 10 30. I know I love the vibes. I love everything they got going on here at Schooler's now Charlie Miles, I would venture to say that you're kind of a cheap guy. Oh, that's really kind Also accurate. I would say that you're cheaper than I am, you know in the sense sense of you really? I'm cheaper than you. Yeah, okay. You think I'm cheap? Yeah, I'm not that cheap. Okay. But like, I feel like you would,

here's where I'm going with this. I feel like people in the Midwest, they're cheap only about some things. Uh-huh. And other things, they. You're true. Here's an example. Yep. Uh, a midwesterner won't buy a certain type of brand of milk because it's 70 cents more, but then they'll blow 60 grand on a nice fishing boat. Yeah. I was thinking snowmobile kind of the same same deal though snowmobiles get up there Yes, and a lot of money on those but then also bringing your own shooters to the movie theaters So you don't have to buy the movie theater boo exactly But here's what I'll have to say and I think the argument for most people is that Sorry got distracted

I just watched the ADD in real life. I'm gonna send that clip to your psychiatrist. Okay, sorry. Yeah. There's a lot going on. I know I said there's a butterfly. I know. I got a face of this wall where there's no people.

What I think most people's argument would say is the reason why they can buy a $60,000 fishing boat is because they save money on that 70 cents when they go to the grocery. So in that sense, it's just a math equation. Yeah. Yeah. You're just taking money from one spot and moving it to another spot. From one poem, putting it to the next.

And by the way, you know, there was actually a fan brought up this, we should mention that a fan out there asked us to discuss this. I don't know if I even, you know, told you that. Yeah, Charlie tried to pass it off as his own idea. No. It's from Matt Fullerton. Matt Fullerton reached out on Facebook kind of wanting us to dive into this. So, okay, well, let's dive into it, Charlie. Yeah. What has been something you've been cheap about? Oh, where do I begin?

Well, in my condo, currently my apartment, if you will, I guess it's a duplex. I haven't bought any furniture. I haven't bought any furniture. I haven't bought any furniture. And why? Where do you sit? What's? No, I've gotten the front because furniture is around. Oh, you have acquired furniture. You haven't bought furniture. My brother had a rug that his kid threw up on and was smelling too much. So I just, but once you hose that sucker off, you can't even tell. No, especially if you use a power washer on a rug. Exactly.

You've never seen those videos on TikTok and then cleaning rugs. I got a brand new rug, man. I could have made a video out of this one. That bomb, it came clear off, you know, and it was crusted in there. And then my folks had a very nice table, few nicks in it, but you know, just, no, no, no, we don't call those nicks. We call them love character character. It's got a lot of character and charm.

And now it's in the, it's in the living room and nobody has ever said, oh my gosh, look at the chip out of this. Yeah, look at that little, look at that bite-sized hunk out of it. Yeah, all they said is, oh, is this vintage? Yeah. So there you go. Oh. I would even go a step further and take some sandpaper to it and then it like will look

like an antique. Yeah, I'll give it that rough, rough round the edge. Yeah, like the paint's coming off, but in an antique way, not a I didn't do a very good job painting this right right? Yeah, just get that a little fine layer of varnish off there a little rougher and I will have to say that there is you know in the light of Being cheap about certain things. Yeah, there is an absolute thrill about finding a piece of furniture, maybe an old fridge or something like that on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist is way more thrilling than going to the store and buying a new one.

Oh, 100%. And doing your own drywall, you know, you are going to look at that drywall for years, years. And do you want to not, do you want to look at the wall and not remember you putting it up? And I would say that drywall is where you draw the line. Well, no, I put up drywall before. But I was painting the ass. It is.

Yeah. And have you ever tried to put drywall up without one of those stands thing for the ceiling drywall? Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, like you put on this little It's like a little like it's like a little ladder for oh, yeah, and then you tip it up and then you Push it towards the ceiling. Yeah, have you ever had to just actually just hold it above your head while you wait for your brother to screw it in? Yeah, I was I was actually just my brother also, not a, uh, spendy fella. Um, I was over at his house doing his drywall up in his attic.

They's turning into like another bedroom or something. Yep. Oh my gosh. You should have, you should, the, the fights that we're had of, dude, what are you, why am I even holding this here? You know, and it's, it's bowing a little bit, you know, you need another guy. And then you got back problems, you know, because you're holding it for a while. We've got some back problems, which is that runs in the family. The reason I had back problems, I can remember the day we were at my grandpa,

Bob's, we were working on the breakwater situation at the cottage. Yep. And that's where you're pulling these big rocks and your movin' them. And I remember my aunt saying, be careful with your back. It'll give you problems in your life or something if you don't lift properly. And I just remember like lifting straight with my back.

Like it's not going to be in that shoe. Yeah. That's where I pinpoint the beginning of my back problems. Ironic, that my Aunt Mary told me to watch out for it. So anyway, that's how she goes Why is that ironic that she told you she told me and I was like, okay, whatever and then that's where I'm now pinpointing my back problems from from As I was lifting those rocks she warning me and then me not listening to her and now I think that's where my back problems It's an ironic. It's like don't you think?

Go on. It's an ironic. It's like don't you think? Go on it's like I didn't have rain on my wedding day. Oh, you're wedding. Hey, we haven't taught it into that Why? Because we've done enough about my wedding. I want to but I didn't give like people are over the wedding I didn't give my thoughts We'll do a after the smoke slash dust settles on my wedding next episode. Okay. Sounds good. Sounds good. We'll do that. We'll let the smoke settle a little bit longer. Yep. And then you're going to give me the how you felt about it. Yeah. I'll give you how I felt about you coming. All right. I like that. Well, should we get some callers? I think we should should thanks to what was it fuller tin mat fuller tin?

I like that was nice And by the way if any of you guys out there have a little conversation starter You want us to do it the beginning of these episodes? How can they do it?

Gwen, how you doing? I'm well. How are y'all doing? We are doing good.

Y'all, where are you calling from? I am from Missouri right now. M-I-C. Sorry. Oh, M-I-Z. Oh, M I Z. Oh, no, we're waiting for her to go back. Sorry. M I Z. Yeah, no, I'm not from here. I just was here. Oh,

tension. She's literally on the last podcast. We brought that up. I know. Well, why don't you belly up to the bar with us? Tell us what's on your mind. Sorry for assuming that you're a Mizzou fan. I know. Well, why don't you belly up to the bar with us. Tell us what's on your mind. Sorry for assuming that you're a Mizzou fan. I apologize. So I want to hear the opinion of a Midwest man on stay at home mom. Oh, well, I think stay at home moms are great.

I do too. Yeah, I had to stay at home mom growing up. Yeah, me too. And I also think you at home mom growing up. Yeah, me too. And I also think. You called into the right podcast. Yeah, let's go ahead. And yeah, you did, but I think stay at home moms. First of all, childcare is so freaking expensive

that it's, you look at the more and more sense every day. Yeah, I mean, you look at it is. And you look at the value of that. And you're like, oh my gosh, I mean, you look at it is. And you look at the value of that. And you're like, oh my gosh, I mean, that's a huge salary job in and of itself. And also the emotional stuff with the kids and whatnot. I think it's a very valued job, personally. Yeah, and I think what you could do too,

is well, you know, should you stay at home with your kid or not, well, look at how Charlie and I turned out, you know? We were raised by stay at home with your kid or not? Well, look at how Charlie and I turned out, you know, we were raised by stay at home mom and now, you know, we're 30 plus years old, we're Tuesday at noon at a bar. And I'm divorced. And I think it's great. I think that it works. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, absolutely not working through everything, delivered baby and everything, and ended up having to leave that with a little crazy mood with the people who are interested, you know, to that. But then I got married and had two more, and he did want me as a stay at home mom,

and I was like, you know what, we'll give this a try. And like, I thought, you know, we got places, we did. We bought houses and got to move around. And he had great jobs. He wasn't paying for childcare. We bought cars like things really did work out. But the thing that got me was it seemed the mindset was,

you stay home and take care of housing kids, but I don't have to do anything but work. Like you do not need love, you do not need attention. Kids don't, you don't need help with the kids. Like I go to work, I make money, that's good work. We're solid there. What is this? What is that?

Well, that's not, that's not the way you want to do it. Well, that's not, yeah, that's the the way it's designed to be, you know. Yeah. It's supposed to be that there should be a give and take with everything that you guys are doing, right? Yeah, because between nine to five, oh, sorry, go ahead. Oh, no, and now I was just saying like a little partnership, you know, you work, I work at home.

Like I clean the house. I make this house a home. I take care of the kids, I don't bug you at work, you make the money, but when we work together, then it becomes 50 50, right? Like that's what I would think is like 50 50. Yeah. Yeah, and then when you guys are at home together, there's you guys spend time together, there should be the family time, there should be a sharing of some of the chores on the weekends and stuff like that, right?

And is that kind of what you're saying? Right. Needless to say, I'm getting divorced. Oh, I was wondering where this was going. Yeah. Well, did you bring this? I mean, I imagine you brought this up to him and he didn't like it very much. Is that is that an accurate statement?

I looked up. Oh, yes, yes. And it turned into a Midwest goodbye. and he didn't like it very much. Is that is a nackier statement? I love that. Oh, yes, yes. And it turned into a Midwest goodbye. You know, it was like, hey, there's this issue. And he's like, yeah, but do you sure what John did the other day? I'm like, no. So there's this issue.

And he's like, yeah, but you know, fill over there. I was like, oh, damn, all right. And what does he do for a living? Oh, man, he's, he works at a at a printer company and will next the Kansas. He is a maintenance mechanic there now and he said it's a breeze. I get air conditioning and I barely have to do anything and I'm like, yeah, nice. He's not even giving himself much of an argument there. Yeah, basically between the hours of 9.5, you're both working full time. You're taking care of the family. He's taking care of whatever his

job is. But then when you're back at home, and he's back at home, then everything should be 50, 50 or how old are your kids? I have a three year old, a almost two year old, and I have a four month old. Oh, oh,, geez. Yeah, so I mean that three year old, you know, he'll be a good worker, but it's gonna be probably another three years before you can start doing dishes. So, you know, that's the only thing that gives you a little relief

from some of the co-parenting chore duties. You know, my family, there were 12 kids. So, you know, that's a lot of good workers you got at home. But, uh, yeah, anyways, that's a tough one. So are you getting a divorce? Do you just decide or is this been in the running for a while? Oh, you know, that brings up a second topic I like to, uh, would like to ask you guys. So I'm from California.

I've been in Missouri about five years. And is it just like a common thing? I know Missouri's kind of like the end of the Midwest is like a common Missouri thing for like crazy, crazy men? Or is that just like, do I just pick this really, really well? Because this one that I'm divorcing tried to kill me a couple of times, like we're not talking about this thing,

like Brandon G. Fat me trying to kill me already. Oh, whoa, whoa. Look, look, look, look, where are we at here? That's not normal. You just, no, no, get the hell out of that. Is he like in jail or something? Because that's what they call attempted murder, you know?

He got a forced degree assault, but they kept him one night. And then I got a restrained murder. And they were like, you know, honestly, you stand in the same house just like he's not supposed to bug you out. It's like, what? Excuse me? That's some messed up Missouri ship right there.

I'll tell you that much. Yeah, no, you guys, you should not, is he still living in the house with you? Oh, no, you guys you should not is he still living in the house with you? Oh, no, no, I did last last little little rendezvous we had together with his jacol side will say I asked an officer to escort him away from the premises. So we were not getting any more. Yeah, so up from a getting a board. Yeah.

So, uh, first thought that comes to mind and I could be wrong. But it seems like this guy is just bad news. I don't think he speaks for us. All of us midwestern men, Charlie. You never ran your car at anyone. Have you? No. No.

God, no. He hit one deer. That was it. Yeah. The only thing you should be, you know, aiming a little bit with your car at is the deer that go across the road. Am I right, Charlie? Yeah, you, well, look, you can't swerve away from him,

you know, because that would put other cars in danger. So yeah, that's accurate. But no, this guy's a fricking looney tune. I mean, I don't know what to tell you. That sucks. I'm sorry. But yeah. I'm a little bit from the deer. I turned off your headlight so that they can't see you.

That's kind of we said that. We said that. We said that. That was our advice. We said that. Oh my God. Good memory. Yeah. Yeah. I you know what? I might backtrack on that one now. The smoke is settled the little the fast and furious version now I remember yeah, it's amazing. We were so smart Man, well, it seems to you at least got like you know obviously divorce Charlie knows this Is No, we're now and work on it since I'm getting divorced? Is that the Midwest

thing? Well, what I was going to say is it seems like, you know, it's a tough situation, but you seem to have a good attitude about it, which I like seems like you are obviously it's tough and all that, but it seems like you are understanding the absurdity

of the situation. And I think that you're going to come out of this on the other end, hopefully in a better situation than what you were before. Yeah. How fresh is this, by the way? When did everything get finalized or initiated? Well, I think it's been about three months since I asked him to leave the house. The murder stuff has been happening for like, I don't know, two years straight.

Oh my God. Okay, let's not just glaze over you saying the murder stuff. So you said that he tried to run your car at you. What else happened if you're okay with sharing? Um, so let's see, we started with a little, uh, a little, uh, and I don't want to make anything like too obvious on your podcast here, the, uh,

beer meat finders, helpers, whatever you want to call that to the head. We started with those couple of times, and it was his own. So I was like, okay, well, maybe he just had some issues. Like, you figure you out, you got this. Then, then we moved on to the, well, you better do what I say and exactly how I say

or you might not be in this world no more. And I was like, you know, words are whatever. It's cool. I got this, no worries. And then I went out alone one night. I had a 350. I was, you know, bowing a little bit, you know, a couple drifty drifts. And he was supposed to be watching the kids fully. I asked him, grandma watch them. And he, he showed up. And he, he lost his little cookies. He tried to run his Jeep at me. And I called the cops. They finally got there. And he lost his little cookies. He tried to run his deep at me.

And I called the cops. They finally got there and he had broke my phone. And he was just having a little jackal moment. Well, they'll jackal instead of hide moment there. Then we had found a tumor on his back. There was a re-endum tumor, a nerve eating tumor. And I was like, oh my goodness, we had that removed. They were like, it could cause neurological issues. I was like, oh my goodness, we had that removed. They were like, it could cause neurological issues.

I was like, that's why he tried to kill me. So we got, I nursed this, you could help. Like, he was completely kind of walked up and we got it removed. And then after that, then the threats of, well, I'm going to take you away from this world and my grandma's gonna watch the kids and this is where I'm gonna bury you like dead face

but I was like, okay, wasn't the camera got that? So we're talking about girls a little, you know, there was a little lot, a lot there that way was kind of like, okay, look, try again, and then, you know, eventually it was like, okay, it's not, it's not gonna change. This sounds like someone else's problem, not mine, I'm out. change this sounds like someone else's problem up mine I'm out. So there might be like some other some other women out there maybe and kind of a similar situation to you. What advice would you have for them if there was anything like this? Yeah, because it seems like okay, you know, all this might be the reason that this happened. This must be the reason and eventually you kind of realize

well maybe I just need to get out of the situation. Yeah, you're running out of reason. What would be some advice that you would give to other people that would have a similar situation? I would definitely go with the first time as an answer. If they

tried to take you off this world, especially if you got your kids together, that is your answer of will they ever change? They will not, they will never change. They will always want to take you off the earth whether they are at the height part of their life or the jackal. So don't, don't, don't stay for three years. Let it go. Let it go. Wow. Well, thank you for sharing that because I'm sure there are other people in sort of a similar situation kind of trying to rationalize maybe in the way you are. And I to you know your story will be very helpful to them. So thank you for sharing and calling in and but now you're single.

And you're ready to mingle what kind of fella are we looking for put it out there.'re gonna find you a good guy there a good Midwest fellas out there and they're just you know just waiting to join your family of four. Well let's let's start with like the lumberjack type you know like I'm talking I want that that landle I want you to call broad let Let's not see about murder. Maybe maybe that's like a lot of fun. Well, I would maybe stay away from lumberjacks. There's a lot of axes and valves and chain sas with lumberjacks. It's not a thing, though. I'm trying to, you know, at least have a difference here and ask these way difference and the chief running at you. That's true. That is true. Yeah. You want one to jeep? Yeah. That's, you want a big old bronny dude like a, um, a, uh, Paul Bunyan type. Do you like full-on facial hair? Do you like

mustache? What, what gets you going? Have it all. We're talking Dutch dynasty type beard hairline. So, let's draw it to the, see what's hair from their chest pubes down to their ball, the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side of the side I'm like fuck off. Get out my way. Get out my way. Well, I fear for the guy who tried to murder you. I mean, I think he should have been worried as this is what sounds like. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, all I did when he tried to murder me to be very clear is I stared at him like I was stupid. While the dispatch, he was like, you better run. You better run out. I was like, well, he's gonna gonna kill me he might do it. So like why run like I want to watch it. Okay. Oh

All right, well looks like we're looking for a lumberjack who is I would say you you're looking for a guy who's maybe a little more Even-keeled Personality because I like your aggression. So I think you need someone to balance you out a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, no fighting fire with fire. It should be you guys should balance each other out for sure. Yeah, yeah, definitely death and play. And see following this divorce, my next question for you guys is,

where do I find this hippie cow? Because I'm going to need a little bit on my days off with the kids. Well, why don't we take your number down Jared and we'll send her some. Yeah, we'll send you some bottles of tippy cow and that's our or at least have a place you can go get it. Yeah, that's a and we'll send a coupon. We'll send you tippy cow.

I think there's some pockets out there. Some pockets. Well, we got we have grouse there, which some would also consider. We'll count that.

We'll count that. It's just a little birdie in the ditch. And then you in certain states, you can pull over and take them, you know, get your protein in for the day. You got to step outside. Yeah, you got to be outside the day. Right. You got to step outside. Yeah, you got to be outside the vehicle. Yes. Did you kick in?

But I was thinking ditch raft with how many little or ditch robbers maybe with all these little rap students that are always on the side of the road. I was like, Yeah, It's like you. Yeah, I don't know if you can do that or not. Yeah, I don't know either you can do that or not. Yeah, I don't know either. They're good eating now.

Perfect. Thank you guys so much for your wonderful insight. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for calling in. Tell your kids we says hi. I will say hi to them.

All right, bye bye now. I don't know if I'd go with tell your kids I says hi by the way I would maybe let's let's have that be the fall yeah, let's have that be the last time Good until that I think yeah, we handled it well, and then it got a little creepy. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean Do did I wake up this morning thinking I was going to be discussing someone who had an attempted murder? Yeah, okay, so I mean, how do we even? How do you what do you say to that? I don't know. Hey, sorry that you almost got murdered by your ex-husband is not several times. Yeah, it's a nightmare That's really sad actually sucks. Yeah, yeah, Well, well, it's like one of those that hope everyone's having a good day except for that guy. Yeah. All right. Well, hopefully the calls get a little lighter. That was dark. Yeah. That was a weird one. But that's a tough situation.

It is a tough situation. But I think to recap, if you need help, you find yourself in that situation. It's a tough situation, but I think to recap, if you need help, you find yourself in that situation. Don't wait. Just get it done. And shout out to Midwest, stay at home moms and dads. You're doing the Lord's work. Imagine what are moms had to go through? Oh, deal with our shit. I mean, deal with you. I mean, you're like, you're like five kids in one. Yeah, we're a feisty. Yeah, you are. All right, well, should we take another caller? Let's do it.

Who do we have on the line? John. John, welcome to the Belly Up Podcast. Why don't you belly up with us and tell us what's on your mind? Well, I got a wedding coming up, my sisters. Nice. She's marrying another chick. And I don't know if there's any different etiquette at gay weddings that I need to be aware of.

I didn't know if you guys knew or if you had any advice on that or not. OK, all right. Well, let's unpack this a little bit. OK, OK, so you said it was your sister. Correct? Yep. And she is marrying another gal. Yeah. And you've never been to a gay wedding and you're wondering if there's any other etiquette. Charlie, do you have any advice for him?

Uh, no. Well, let's see here. Well, what are you planning to wait? First of all, I think the short answer is, no, there's not really any other etiquette you need to know. There might be, you know, uh, what are you planning to wear right now? Yeah, let's maybe go through that. Uh, I guess I wore boots and jeans and a nice button.

I'm sure for my wedding, I guess that's what the plan was. I mean, that's a good rule of thumb. Yeah. Don't wear anything you didn't wear on your own wedding. Right. Or that you won't wear it another one. I don't think there's any difference out there at all. What did your sister say?

Because I'm sure you asked her this question. What was her response? I don't know. Me and her don't really talk a whole hell of a lot because we're just kind of, lives a couple hours away, and I don't see her that much and kind of quite a bit of age gap Okay, I never really did talk a whole lot ever So I didn't know if it was something I should even bring up to her if I just looked like an asshole Well, I think it's probably good you didn't bring it up to her

In the mean hindsight. Yeah, it's good. You came to a safe space to try and figure this out. What's the difference between a straight wedding and a gay wedding? Really don't know. There is an age. Why is it falling for assistance? There's no difference. You come in, Mike.

You come in midwestern. You rock rocking there with your boots. And here's the real question you should be asking is the bar open. I'm not sure if they're big drinkers or not. I guess they do drink so I imagine there is going to be a sum of the bar. Yeah, there'll be a baller. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah, this is going to be a good ass time, I bet you. Now, the other thing to remember about what you wear to a wedding, nobody cares. Nobody is going to care. Yeah, I mean, nobody's there. Nobody's thinking about you at all. You are there to consume the free booze because you got them a gift and therefore,

you already paid for the booze. What are you going to get them, by the way? Right. I don't know. All right, let's talk wedding gifts. What what are you thinking? You think in just cash? You thinking maybe something off a registry if they got one of those? Are you thinking maybe a cash? That's the move. Sounds like a lot of heart goes into that. Hey, what did your sister get you when you got married? I'm not sure if they gave us cash. I don't know. They've been together a long time and they've had their own place together

for a long time. Like me and my wife did. So we just want to cash for the honeymoon I guess. Yeah. Nice. Well, I love the transactional nature of a wedding too, you know, it's like, it's like, basically give me what I gave you when you got married. It all evens out in the end. Yeah. Well, thanks so much for calling in. I hope that we help you out here. I think the answer is it's just a normal wedding. Yeah. Just going to it like normal. Yeah, I've been to a few weddings with Gagroom, or Gag, you know, I don't, whatever. Gagrooms, it's all the same deal.

How do I convince my wife that she needs to take the kids back to the hotel, like, the wedding. Now, that's the real question. That's, yeah, that's a whole nother call, man. How do you convince her in the week leading up to it? You got to be on your best behavior. You got to like start building building some in the bank, you know, you got to get your good, good bank account, good deed bank account. Yes. Yeah. Before the wedding. We need some leverage before the wedding because if I know anything about marriage, now I've been married for a month,

is it's all about leverage and keeping score. So yeah, and then she did go out last. So if I don't go out between now and the wedding, then I guess it's my turn to stay out of drink. There you go. And we're in just subtly reminder of that on the day of. And then how old's your oldest kid? You only eight.

Can he keep a secret? Oh, yeah. You bribe that kid and use tones to say, Mommy, I really want to go home with just you and not dad. Dad needs to dance and get some energy out. Or it's just something like that. Dad needs to drink. Just gotta sound like a dancer.

Are you a dancer? Yeah. Yeah. There's like a certain amount of drunk I've got to be. Just blow right through that. Blow right through that phase. I like that. Pay your kid. bribe your kid with fruit by the foot and tell him to give mom a nudge on the night.

And think you'll be good then. Like a good plan. There we go. I will nudge on the night. And think you'll be good then. Sounds like a good plan. There we go. All right, we'll have fun at the wedding. Yeah, it sounds like a blast. Tell your sister and her wife we says congrats. All right, thanks for the advice. All right, we'll see ya.

See ya. I like that guy because you could tell the whole gay wedding goes against what his value system is. But he seems to be coming around. He's coming around. He's like, it's my sister. What am I going to do?

You know, we don't see eye to eye. But I'm going to show up and he wants to stay late to. He also, I thought I was very considerative him to make sure that he was abiding by a lot of the etiquette. Yeah. No, it's just a wedding. Yeah. What do you think? I thought he goes, what do you think?

Probably the same thing I wear to my wedding. Boots and jeans and a butt up. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. No baseball hat, basically. Yeah. The only difference between that and his normal deal.

But he's got big tan line, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah. For sure. He sounds he's got a big tan line though. Oh yeah. Yeah. For sure. He sounds like a guy with a tan line. Tipping on back Charlie. Tipping on back with the tippy cow. Tipping.

Do you know the tippy cows milk comes straight from Wisconsin cows? Hmm. Hmm. You ever been cow tipping in Wisconsin, Charlie? No, I actually have not gone cow tipping ever. I do like the taste though. You can just taste the Wisconsin and that little sip.

Oh, it is some very tough to tip a cow. It's kind of dangerous. Yeah, I think that it's more than what you'd bargain for. Yeah, I mean, that is a big old beast who does not like you touching it in that way. He'll kick you in the pecker too. Yeah. Cow will. All right, last thing I want is that, but you know what I do want? That is a big old beast who does not like you touching it in that way. He'll kick you in the pecker too. Yeah. How will I last thing I want is that, but you know what I do want?

What's that? To keep sipping on this tippy count. Me too. This orange cream is an absolute delight. And yes, it is. Honestly, with summertime, the orange cream flavor is kind of a summary. It gives you that like funsy lake vibes and refreshing. Refreshing.

Refreshing. We got it. And the best is you can do it over ice, you can do it like we're doing it just neat. Mm-hmm. Regardless guys, you got to tip it on back with some tippy cow. Mm-hmm. Welcome to the Belly-Dup Podcast, so we chit-chatting with. Oh, hello Charlie.

It's Austin from Ohio. Austin from Ohio. Oh, that's like a country song. I want to find Austin. Some you're going to find it. Austin. It's a love song. Yeah. Sorry, Austin. Oh, yeah. That's, no, you're fine. It's the pleasure to meet both of you. Pleasure to meet you too, my guy. What's going on? What's going on? All right. So I'm going to a little bit of a pickle here. So, you know, I live in support when conflict. Yeah. And right next door, my best friend used to live there. And now it's being rented out to a group

of sorority members. So what's the problem here? Yeah. Sounds like the beginning of a neurotic film. This sounds like a new Van Wilder movie. Yeah, I get bored ofr's death row again. But, um, so, you're my favorite team. You know, I usually, I try and do voice acting and stuff.

And the walls here are paper. And so I'll be doing my stuff forever to submit somewhere. And, um, I think it's going to fall. Oh, so say it again. Charlie, come on. Say it again. I got to hear what you fall. Oh, so say it again. Charlie Cooke got to say it again. I got to hear what you said.

What did you say? So like I'll do like voice recording to wherever and all the paper things here. And they're just going against the walls. Man, it's awful. It just what do you mean they're going against the wall? What are they doing against those walls? That's so obnoxious to your voice recording. Are they just talking?

Well, no, it's fat boys and uh, uh, they're already girls. Is there fornication going on while you're trying to do your voice recordings? Oh, yeah. Are you saying that they are clapping the cheeks? We're a clap to the cheeks to the headboard is black. Oh, wow. Don't come knocking if the headboard is clacking.

So, okay. So can you do one of the voices? Can you give us one of your voices? I want, yeah. Read do this, but do it in your radio voice. Radio or whatever voice you're doing. How about a trailer voice? Like, you know, from the early 2000s. Yeah. Okay. I want this. I want this to be. I want you to do the trailer voice. But the movie is about it's the neighbors three, which like you're saying Seth Rogan and what's his name?

Zach Efron and it but it's your situation and you have to work in clapping thycheeks. Go. Okay. It's unexpected sequel to the movie that no one really ever after. It's cool. You hear about this guy named Austin. He lives in Hawaii and

Department complex with the unborn neighbor of sorority girls and Whenever this young guy is trying to do his work of voice recording You hear laughing at the cheeks the class of the cheeks and the clack and they're the headboard. And this guy, this guy, he can't get anything done because of the magic that's going down across the wall. Coming to the theater near you, possibly never. So you just got the horniest sorority next year or what? Way you, they're clapping that much that you can't do your voice recording. You know that? That and then they're parents are like over every day

for like the last month. Okay. I got more questions. They're, well, okay. So their folks are over every day for the past month. Is this while the clapping is going on? Oh, no, no, this is during, I'd say around like 11 to 12 is usually when they're over.

PM or AM? The dad is like PM. It's a weird time for parents to be over. OK, so what do you say about the dad? Well, the dad, Well the dad he just He just arouded me and I'm like look he's you know at 20. Oh, so we're all pretty nice people, you know We you know we grill with each other every now and again, or we'll have a fire in the parking lot You know, but this guy you know all of my wind a little bit because you know a, high it gets 50 degrees and that's pretty nice window weather. Say the AC and uh yeah, feel just like, like, you're like, you're like, he's like,

why does he, yeah, like, he's cut alpha dogs here. Why does he want your window shot? I don't know, like, he just goes on like a rap. He started screaming and whatever flows his boat. I'm sorry. I have to be a little like the ass being a move my grill. And it's in my area. You know, so I don't think I got to move it. So I guess what's bothering you more? The dad or the doll of the fornication going on next door? I mean, it sounds like this is a shitty situation. You got a few beefs. Oh, yeah, sorry. Um, what I'll do is, you know, I can always buy more sound proofing, but how far do you want to go? To the dad. Okay. So every day, the dad is in the neighboring apartment dealing with his daughter.

He walks by. He sees your window open and he tells you to shut the window. What's his logic? What's his reasoning? He never said it. He just you know, I'll usually have like a record spin you know,

whatever. And then he just gets all up said about it. Oh, I said,. Hey, well, I've said about the window. It's the music coming out of your house. But so you're not so innocent either, buddy. I don't think you're necessarily not.

I got to remember that these are paper thin walls and you're playing loud records all day. I mean, they got to do something to drown out your bad music choices. So they start clapping cheeks. What music? Oh, I'm a figure bad. Bob Seeger. You cranking Bob. I'm not. I'm pitch. His voice got there. I am 22. 22 cranking Bob Seeger, trying to break into a voice acting, listening to cheap cheeks clap. This could be a Bob Seager.

So I'm very interested to see how you pull this one off. I am. Let's go Charlie. What is your Bob Seager clapping cheeks? Oh boy. Oh, I was a little too tall. I was a little too go. Hold on. It was a little too tall. Could have used a few pounds.

Girl was getting a chief's clapped up and down. That works by. He's a window open. Turn that shit down. I'm losing it, but I'm. You found it. I just wasn't that good. Um, but there's, you found it. I can't do about speaker because he pulls more forward.

It's where to talk. He's a few pounds. That's it. Where to talk? Could you feel forward and talk to? Exactly. He talked to bottom left in a little bit more than has like the,

the 30 year smoke or voice. That really. Exactly. And touch his bottom lip in a little bit more than it has like the this 30 year smoker voice. Yeah. Kind of tricks the music. Yeah. Which is beautiful. It is. Yeah. It's almost like falsetto too. Like I mean, it's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do.

It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. It's not a good thing to do. here's what, here's what also doesn't make sense. Here's a three. Okay. Why? Okay. It doesn't make sense that her dad is only over there

from 11 to 12. Why that time? Yeah, or he'll be at 11 to 1. I think it might be during like his lunch break, but you can tell this guy comes from a decent amount. He's always showing up and like, he's super, super nice Alexa. Okay, okay, so I get it.

So you are talking about not the night you're talking afternoon. Because last time the whole time, he was talking about 11 to 12. We won the tape, bro. He said PM rewind the tape. I said 11 and he said PM. Okay, well, I thought he was talking about 11 PM miles.

It was a tough time to be asking A.M. Okay. Well, I thought you was talking about 11 p.m. Miles. It was a tough time to be asking a m or p.m. Because both are true in both situations. All right. So that this all makes more sense now. This all makes more sense. Are you friends with the guys over there that are getting intimate with these gals? No. Hold on. Hold on. Are you single yourself? Are you single? No. Well, okay. Do you have anybody over at your house?

Huh? It's just my mother and I that live here. Oh, you live with your mom? Because last year, yeah. Last year my father, he unfortunately, away. I came in this kind of help. Sorry to hear that. Okay. So you know,

so you moved into your mom's house, apartment apartment. Yeah. Okay. I was originally dead. But then like, once he started like the coin, and because I was, I was living on my,

cause I just recently got out of the army and I transitioned like got my own house in order and then I came back here you know once I heard about everything going on and then once he passed away my mom started having like really bad health issues too so I'm like don't believe that I'm kind of helping out around. Well thanks for your service my guy and sorry that that's going on. They say anything weird while they're doing it. Yeah, this might be a pot twist. Oh no. Okay, I'm excited. Sometimes it's not a dude's name. Oh, there was bands. Some hour and some hour. Wow. Okay. Maybe they're going to swing both directions.

Good for them. So there's a little bit of hot dogs and buns and bumping of tacos going on. There's some swappling going on in that in that sorority house. Um, that's what it is. Tell me all the voices you can do. I can, I can do Kermit. What's here? What's your Kermit? Let's hear Kermit telling Miss Piggie. Okay, so Kermit lives in your house with Miss Piggie, but Kermit was gone and Miss Piggie heard the, uh, the banging going on. What, how does Kermit defend himself? Oh, I'm sorry, reverse that, because Kermit heard it and Miss Piggy was gone

and Kermit suspects that Miss Piggy was next door with one of the sorority girls. What's Kermit saying? Oh my God. So just to clarify, each, so just that Kermit thinks that Miss Piggy's next door. Kermit suspects that Miss Piggy was next door. Miss Piggy walks in after being gone

from the hours of 11 to 1. Kermit's been up just hearing a lot of Piggy sounds next door potentially. And Kermit is now confronting some poor Miss Piggy on next door. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it.

Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it. Okay, let's do it.

Hey, thank you so much for calling in. This was super interesting story that you're going to be able to talk to. I'm going to have to talk to you. I'm going to have to talk to you. Talk to you.

Well, I'm going to have to take a class in that. Hey, thank you so much for calling in. This was super interesting. Story that your demo tapes are getting ruined by Miles you might say. Well, I think that you're maybe are doing demo tapes for the wrong type of films. Maybe that might be welcome to background noise if you're doing voiceovers for other films. Yeah, yeah, just change your genres. So turn it into your advantage, just like you're saying. Exactly. Yeah. Always play to your advantage.

There's always going to be that one guy who's a part of the company is like, you know what? I'm just going to hire this guy so we can hear more of his taste for a background. Smart man, smart man. Well, listen. There's a butter meeting both of you. Yeah, good to meet you too. Nice meeting you too. Congratulations. Hopefully the headboard in the grumpy neighbor gets better. Yeah. Have a good one. Charlie, go, go through it. Right? Go through it. Heck yeah. gets better. Yeah. Have a good one. Charlie, what do you think of his current voice? Well, he's 22. He's just starting off. Fellas got a, you know, and he's listening to this right now. So Charlie, give him the advice. No, I think that he's got a lot of, he's got some good fundamentals. He knows he's been researching and he knows where to go. I think a big part of voiceover is in the face actually in person, you know. So sometimes even if the voice isn't 100% there, if the face is there, really adds to

it, you know. So I'd have to see him in person doing it. But, you know, I think it's great that he's 22 out of the army. He's doing the thing that he loves. The voiceover stuff moves him with his mom. You know, it's just he's got to get the neighbors to, you know, at a level of caution or he's got to get some egg carts, you know, egg cartons start stapling them to the wall, get a little soundproofing going. So anyways, another episode of the bellyup in the books. And it's been just an, oh, and I wanna also shout out those wings that we took a break during this to eat some wings here.

And oh my gosh, were they good? They're doing some good here at Schulers. Oh, they really are. And there's a meat raffle later tonight, too. I know. So we'll have to stay for that. So it depends Depending on how long we talk here. We might just roll right into the meat raffle. Yeah, see We're very hurry up people do not mess around with their meat raffle. We're taking up those guys out

Yeah, we are taking pride here is a number. I gotta get my raccoon poppers All right. Charlie, well, thank guys. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of The Belly Up pod. And as always, tip your bar, 10 there. Tip it to bar, 10 or baby. See you the next one.
