Good Catholic boy. of them good Catholic boy So what's on your mind So I got a roommate I'm getting married here in June and he I've known him my whole life, but I didn't grew up around him and but I didn't grow up around him. And he's kind of just assuming that he's gonna be in the wedding. And I don't know how to break it to him that he's not gonna be in the wedding. I mean, he's in a family invited, but he was, so we grew up together from ages zero to four, I'd say.

And then his mom, baby, sat me. So it's all four years there. And then he moved away, two aims actually. And then, you know, taking years later, I moved down to aims and ended up living with him. So he's kind of assumed that he's got something, but he's a, you know, a lot of great deal. Here's a question. Would he have been in the wedding if you'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding.

I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding.

I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding. I'm not going to be in the wedding? Let's get that on the table first. So the big part for my fiance and I is that, oh, how do I put it? Like, I want people there that have that know her as well. And like, in relation, because we were, you know, we started dating junior year high school. And so I got my two brothers are going to be in the web. They're going to be my two best men.

And then I got three of my childhood buddies. And they've all known her too because, you know, she's been, we've been going to the same schools and fifth grade. And so they all know where she's never met her until I'm moving. And so I want people up there that, you know, know her as well. And yeah, but it's also a good way for him

to get to know her more too, you know? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We're not going to let you glaze over the fact you have cold best men too, by the way. Is that true? Yeah. What's the deal with that? Yeah, they're both. So he's doing cold bridesmaid or co-pride mates as well. So both of her sisters are gonna be her mates of honor. And then she's having her three roommates that she's been best friends with for years now. And so I decided that I'm gonna have my two brothers

as well be the co-best man. So everyone gets a participation trophy, Charlie. One, you make your dad a best man. Why don't you make you the rest of your groom's man a best man Why don't you have the DJ me the best man? Why don't you do all that? My heart is at end You know, where does it end Charlie? I had co-best men miles. Did you really? Yeah, what is going on? I had the wise men. I had all my brothers do it. Because I didn't want to make a decision. Yeah, I call him the wise man.

And Ryan, be honest with me. You know that you like one of your brothers more than the other. Which one is it? If I had a gun to my head and had a pick, it'd be my, uh, from the oldest of the three, it'd be the middle one for the one that just graduated high school.

Boom, there you go. Now you have one best man. Now I'll have your bride pick her, but I'm going to have a good one. uh, from the oldest of the three, it'd be the middle one, for the one that just graduated high school. Boom, there you go. Now you have one best man. Now I'll have your bride pick her best gal and then you guys got some, uh, you got an easier thing. Less speeches at the wedding. That's true. Yeah, well that's what. So my, I'll just call my the oldest of the youngest brothers. He hates giving speeches. I mean, he's got, he just gets sage fright, real bad, and he just, he hates giving speeches. So he just got done with basic training for the Air Force.

And so I'm, he doesn't know I'm gonna have him be one of the best men. And so he's gonna, he's gonna hate it when I ask him because that means he's gonna have to give it speech. Well, he'll have to ask him. Yeah, and you got two best men. So you can just have the other one do this speech and he doesn't need to do it, you know? Yeah.

That's what I'm thinking. All right. Well, sorry. I got distracted there. It's just kind of a. It's a good. Yeah. It's kind of a good piece.

Um, so back to this deal of telling your buddy that he's not going to be in the wedding. You know what you could do? You know what you could do. You could do what my sister did to me and ask him to be an usher. I did think about that. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's roleplay it, Charlie.

Yeah. Sure. So Ryan, you be Ryan, Charlie. Yeah. You be his roommate. Okay. And out what's walk it through. Tell us how you just scenario. How are you gonna tell him? Hey Ryan, how's it going man? You wanted to talk? Yeah, so I got some bad news for you. What's what's going on? Is everything okay? Yeah, so the old lady and I were going over the wedding,

which old lady? With the... Time out, can I be your roommate's girlfriend? He doesn't have one. Okay, well, we'll pretend. Hey, I just got done from work. You guys are talking about the wedding? Oh yeah.

Hey, it's my be the moment. Oh, I think he's gonna ask me why else would he bring up the wedding? But he said he had bad news. Oh, well, it's probably bad news because the DJ backed out, they got to find a new one. Do you need a new DJ, Ryan? You know, I've got some connections, man, I will do anything for you. All right, Ryan, let's, yeah, hey, tell them to get you Give you the bad news first. Okay, give you the good news. What's the bad news? But you know as it is one of your grooms, man I'm gonna make any bad news be good in just a lickity split. That's all you'd be a good grooms I know I know

It's so exciting. Okay, sorry. I'll go in the other room. Right. Okay. You're okay. Nice seeing you. Okay. I love you too. So what's going on, man? So I got, I got, I got some bad news, but I've also got some like good news.

Which one do you offer? Like give you a? Um, you know what? Let's just, let's, let's get it out of the way. Give me the bad news first. You're not, you're not going to be a groom. I hate to break tea, but you, you're not gonna be a groom. Oh, was it because I left the cupboards open? No, was it because I didn't know replace the toilet paper? I swear, I'll replace

the toilet paper. I mean, I thought I thought the paper towel was going to work just for a week, but no, I got it. I'll go get the toilet paper right now, dude. Yeah, it's a totally and I were thinking that you just, Oh, her, you know, you've only known a little less than a year now and all the other grooms than I'm going to have, they've known her for 10 plus years now and my brothers. And so it's just one of those things we want

to people that have known both of us for forever and you've only known I mean, granted, I've known you for 23 years now, but you haven't known her more than a year. I mean, is this is this is is this oh? Congratulations. No, no, babe. It's not it's not what he just said. I can't wait. Yeah, he said I can't be his groomsman. Ryan, you said he can't be a groomsman. Yeah, he just said I can't wait was yeah, he said I can't be his groomsman Ryan you said he can't be a groomsman Yeah, he's because I don't know Kaley I haven't known her long enough even though you've known him for like ever I know I know I know for Ryan Like I tried to get to know her you know over those I couldn't help it that I moved away

You're asking to be a bridesmaid. No you don't know her, yeah, I'm what the hell? What do you know, groomsman, not the bridesmaid. You've known him just as long as his brothers. You might as well be a co-best man. If I'm calling my shot, I gotta tell you, Ryan, this is kind of disappointing. Ryan, okay, I think I know what's going on, honey. I'll, I got this, okay.

Okay. Is it your fiance? Is she doing that thing again? Okay, I think I know what's going on, honey. I'll I got this. Okay. Okay. Okay. Is it your fiance? Is is she doing that thing again? No. No, but this was 100. I had to close them. Okay.

It's your decision. Well, what's what's the good news? We're probably going to have you end up being an usher. So you'll be in the wedding. Probably. I'm the bachelor party. Honey, this sounds like a consolation prize to me. Probably.

Like, you're not even sure I can like hand out the, you're not even sure I can work on your wedding day. Well, we're not even, we, we haven't even gotten that far in the wedding thing. So you don't even know if, if I can even be a nother. Honey, I think he has to move out. I think I, I can't come over and hang out with him here anymore. I think. Ryan, I'm sorry, man.

You got to go. Can I just have that six months to Brent? And then you can pack your stuff. And could you get some toilet paper before you leave? OK, Ryan. Yeah, I mean, I'm the one that bought the house. You're the one paying rent. Oh, burn, burn. All right. All right. Ryan, Ryan, N scene, N scene, very good. Ryan, I mean, not very good. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, Miles, don't

be honest with them right now. Ryan, it, Miles is right, though. That was terrible. Here's what you got to do. You can't even frame it up as good news bad news. You know what I mean? It can only be good news. Hey man. So as you know, you got the wedding coming up, super excited, want you to be the usher. And for God's sake, you can have an usher. Like it doesn't matter. They do nothing. They hand out the brochures or whatever the hell. And then it's nothing. It's honorary and do not make him buy a suit. Yeah. And if you don't even want to be an usher, you don't even give them the news that he's not doing anything. Yeah. That just means that you contemplated actually

having them be in the wedding. where if you can kind of play the, oh, yeah, I guess I never even really, you know, like you just don't even, don't even say anything at all. It's all in how you frame this, my guy. So Charlie, it should have went like this. You'd be the roommate. I'll be Ryan. Okay. Hey, Ryan, hey, what's up, man? What are you watching? I'm just watching this national geographic thing. Did you know that do you're mate like this? No, hey, why don't you want to sit down and watch this for hours and not say anything?

That'd be great. Let's do that. That's how it should go. It shouldn't even be brought up. Boom. And then just let him Yeah. What's that? Go ahead. Well, so here's the thing is I don't bring he's the one it's weekly. He'll ask me like, Hey, you know what? You excited on your group? Oh, brutal. Oh, brutal, dude. You left that detail out. He thinks he's in charge of the whole planning the bachelor party too.

That's the, I've already put, dude. What's so bad with putting this guy in the wedding? Honestly, he seems like he's your biggest fan. Yeah. He's like, what's wrong with that? Talk some of bone. Look, what would be so bad if he what if he was a groom's and what would be bad about worse thing that would happen. Yeah, violently drunk. Oh,

there is some layers here. Yeah, first of all. Like, damn. I'm not that now. Did you live with the last? What's that? I was just going to ask. I think is a lot of this related to your time living with him. Did you not know he was like that big of a drunk until you lived with him? Or did you know before? Yeah, so it started with when I first moved to A down here he he lived in Des Moines and so you know I

didn't live with them so we you know we're hanging out all the time but I never saw the states that he lived in and so then after we signed the lease agreement you know or after he signed the lease agreement with me and then we moved in the house that I bought he I went to go help him move out of his apartment and I walked in and I instantly regretted my decision. Oh, what's the state that is? Yeah, he's so he's a messy fella.

Oh, yeah, I mean, I could send you guys a picture right now of what our place looks like. Did you get engaged to get out of this roommate situation? No, no, no, no, no. OK, no, not that too long of a pause there, but now we were engaged before we moved in together. All before you and Ryan did. So I mean, you could consider things like a pitch count, you know, put them on a pitch count.

If you're worried about them getting to drunk, but also, yeah, pitch count, you know, put them on a pitch count if you're worried about them getting too drunk. But also, it's, you know, a wedding is about loving people unconditionally. And it sounds like you got a lot of conditions for this guy. Yeah. Yeah. Are you even going to invite him to the wedding? I mean, for sure, his family's, his family's inviting. If I'm sending them an invite, but I

mean, his parents are my parents' best friends. I mean, they've known each other for three or four years now. My parents' parents and so there were no questions asked about it. It's just the whole. He grins and then what them up. You do realize that he's going to get even more hammered at the wedding. Once he finds out he's not the groomsman. Yeah, maybe you'll be on his best behavior. If he, if he knows that he's got to do his duties, yeah, maybe that's, that's true. I mean, I didn't think about that one. Well, you're in a pickle, my guy. You are in a pickle.

You're going to, you know what? Life is about hurting people's feelings sometimes. So you're going to, you're going to have to. So, no, yeah, just stick to your guns. I think all you do is you pitch it like a good thing. Hey, man, I just need someone super responsible to be the usher. I was hoping that would be you. Okay. Yeah. Don't even say sorry. You can't be a groom's man. That would be a disaster. Just be excited about him being the third usher. just be excited about him being the third usher. He is going to bring it up. So I think what you could say is like, oh, you know, your fiance only has, you know,

X amount of people, one, two, three, four, five spots. And you wanted to find the people that knew your fiance the longest. So you just went with them because it just made the most sense. And you know, he probably won't buy it. It'll probably ruin the friendship. But you know, it sounds like you don't care anyway. Yeah, I'm to the point where I'm ready to ready to just end it and cut ties and move on with life.

So yeah, but I mean I'm a person I still care about them, you know, he'll still be a friend, but I mean I'm trying to cut ties just don't even give them the usher ship either Yeah Oh glad it's you and not us. Yeah, that'll be a tough one. But you know, we all, we all have to do this stuff in life. This won't be the first time, won't be the last time. So just view it as practice for the next time.

All right, for the next time. Yeah, you're going to have to do something like this again. I'm sure. I mean, hopefully not get married again, but you know, oh, that's what you're saying. No, I'm just saying, you know, Hi, you're gonna have tough conversations and like, that's all this remember you could be like Charlie and all this may mean nothing anyway. Laughing on the outside, I'm crying on the inside, Miles, You know, that was a good one. No, that was one of your

better burns. We should do a belly-dubbed supercut of miles is marriage burns, belly-dubbed burns. Well, good luck on it, man. And congratulations. Don't let it overshadow the overall happiness that you got here and just rock and roll. I mean, we're expecting almost 450 people at the wedding right now. So I mean, what's one more I guess? Okay, is it too late to advise against that? 450 people? Yeah. Where do you have in this at Lambo Stadium?

Or what? Lambo Field First Love. No, we're, so I think we're doing the math. 120 of them are my side of the family, the rest are. Dude, that's like so many people. That you are. Is it too late not to do that? Well, our starting was 530. What time we worked it down to you got to keep working that down. I don't even think I know 530 people. I don't even think I have that many Facebook friends. Yeah, dude.

I mean, you guys could probably buy two houses for that. Is this gonna be a spendy wedding or you're doing it in a barn or something? Well so we're doing it in a small community center. I want to say small it's 520 people but we got it for $1,200 is what they're charging us to the bar to rent it for the entire day. Is it? I include the bar. Is it it's open bar? No, it's not open bar, but they supply it and then you just buy it and we don't they keep the money obviously, but it's not open bar, but it's yeah for their services

for the bar for the bar. Everything. We're kind of saving money on that end. Yeah, I think you need to do less worrying about wittling down the groomsman and more worrying about whittling down the whole guest list. If you ask me. Yeah. Well, that's what I said if we're going to have that many people, I said what we need to do is instead of having like a gift registry, we just need to have a honeymoon fund and then all the people that

show up just put money towards the honeymoon fund that way we don't have you know pay for our honeymoon. We just have the 450 people pay for our honeymoon. So basically you're inviting 450 people just so you can get their money, not because you care about them, nice, sweet. Also, you realize you've got to pay for their dinners too. It's going to be a wash, my guy. Yeah.

And also, it sounds like you're going to need to pay money to put a jumbo tron about halfway through or halfway back the venue because no one in the back spill to see anything that's going on up front. Yeah. So you're going to have that. And well, the most expensive part is,

so she, she's a country girl. She knows her cows. She shows cattle and stuff. And her one non-negotiable was she either wanted brisket or primerib for the dinners. And so we've already paid for it. her one non-negotiable was she either want to brisk it her primary is for the dinner until we've already you know paid bill. We're having fresh red meat. Oh man. Well hope she got a good deal on that. She knows that. I'm gonna need to get another roommate to pay for

this wedding. Maybe a couple. So that's what I'm supposed to for the job I have. I don't think I'd be okay with that. Oh, man. What do you do, dude? What do you do for a living? Investment. You're a what? I'm an electric. Oh, yeah, that's good money. That's good money. Yeah, this whole scenario is shocking. Yeah. A lot of layers on this. Yeah, that's a lot. There's a lot going on in life right now. Final piece of advice, dude.

Just a loaf. Save the money, save the conversation. I wanted to. I wanted to. Well, one of my employees, his wife, his wife does wedding photography for a loafers. Like they'll go out to specialized locations And I said why don't we just do that? We'll have four people there. And she was no, I want a big wedding

I'm like, oh, clearly she's like I want it Well, you know dad offered us he offered us 10 grams to just get married in Vegas have the you know The last biggest trip. Oh, that's cuz he saw your guest list. Yeah, God damn it goes my retirement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and no, she was no, we're having a big wedding. We're gonna have crime red. We're gonna have you know, you wanted. She wanted everybody.

Dang. Um, well, we can only advise against it, but you're going to do what you're going to be doing. Um, well, we can only advise against it, but you're going to do what you're going to do and, um, God bless, but that's going to be like a hundred thousand dollar wedding. And we'll be that much.

We're going to be offensive. Well, good luck, man. Congratulations. Thank you. And, uh, you know, stay safe out there in the trade. Oh, we'll do. I mean, luckily I just smoked with how I just sit in the truck and make phone calls. But, yeah, well, then stay warm out there.

Let AC in the truck and get pretty chilly. So, yeah, this ain't the thing to hold keep talking at the back this thing smart alright man well thanks for calling in everyone yep so you're supposed to say hi alright you too good luck with the roomy yeah sounds good thank you bye Charlie how many people were at your first wedding? I don't remember.

You know what's funny? I was talking to my aunt afterwards. And I was like, yeah, my wedding. You remember? And she was like, I wasn't invited to your wedding. And I was like, no, you, you, you, we mean you weren't invited. And she, and then I remember, I was like, all you were out of town. And so we never sent you one because I already knew you couldn't come and then I was like that's crazy

I didn't even know you weren't at the wedding and then she got more offended. Oh Yeah, that was bad, but that's the thing when there's so many people that you don't Like 220 which we thought was a lot and this dude's gonna have twice as many people there. That's crazy Man, that's there. That's crazy. Man, that's crazy. That's crazy. Well, take another call, Charlie. Let's do it. Welcome to the Bellydub podcast.

Who are we talking to? Hey, hey, it's John. How's it going? Johnny boy, what are you doing? Oh, I'm just on my day off right now. Where are you guys at? We're over at Clementine's, Milwaukee. Oh, nice.

You're just a hop and skip away. I'm Kenosha. Oh, Kenosha, yeah. You're not too far down the road. Kenoshaway. Yeah. Well, Billy on up here, John, Billy on up and tell usos Shway. Yeah. Well, belly on up here. John, belly on up and tell us what's on your mind.

Well, I'm just wondering if this is just a Midwest thing with just Midwest dad, but our Midwest children put on this earth just to work for their dad for their life. I mean, I just feel like I've just been working forever. I feel like I should be getting like double pay on the weekends here. It's just ridiculous. How old are you? I'm 25. What if he was like, I'm 14.

Are you still working for your dad? Yeah, man, you'll call me up on the weekends and be like, hey, what are you doing? Hey, you think you can put up a fence with me this weekend? Oh, okay. You want to put some irrigation in. I'm like, these are side projects. Is it what you're saying? Yeah, it's a million projects that he's got all these ideas. You know, he's a handyman, he's retired.

He's got all the time in the world. He's got all these ideas. And so I'm like number two here. I'm like a second work guy on the forest here. And I got my own life, but I'm just wondering now that I'm a father. Should I be doing the same to my children as they go up? Just work them every second that they live? I don't know.

I think it's only fair. You know, it's only fair to you. Sound like pays it forward. I mean, yeah, one thing I'll say about this scenario is, if I know this guy, like I think I do, if he's a true midwestern dad, the way the midwestern dads show that they love you is not by saying they love you. It's not by being nice.

It is about roping you in to their projects and doing manual physical labor with them is how they show that they love you. It's what they call quality time. Yes, thank you, Charlie. Yeah. And my dad's the same way. My dad is the exact same way.

He's been doing projects at the lake for a decade straight now every single summer. And it's kind of, I've noticed that it's kind of a codependent relationship between my mom and my dad. My dad acts like he hates doing the projects or kind of little grumpy about it, but he actually loves it. My mom loves coming up with projects for him to do. And it just goes on and on. And then we get ropedped into that stuff and it's just how we show love here in the Midwest. Yeah, I'm I'm one of 12 kids and my dad will still get, you know, a delivery of malt or firewood and I will put out the group text. I'm a little lucky that I can usually that there's a couple two three of us that'll go over there at

A&G given time so we're on a little bit of a rotation a crop rotation system And I work a lot of weekends so that's that that's been my out you know, I just I've been working but You know sure to that on your end. Yeah Here's my question though Is it do you have projects around your house that your dad can help you with? Because then you can, you know, kill two birds with one stone. Then we find out if your dad's really trying to spend quality time or if he's just trying to get cheap labor. Well, I think you guys have the nail on the coffin right there because, yeah, my dad, he is

horrible in social situations. He barely says a word. But when we are working, it's that father, son relationship, and there's not many words said other than, hey, go get that tool or hold that flashlight a little bit higher. Or that that holds not big enough. Or you got the wrong screws goddamn it. So go back there and go get the right ones.

Why don't you get the hex ones? I told you. Exactly. And then I'm spending two, three hundred dollars now on a project that should have cost $50. But, yeah, I think that's the way they're showing love. But yeah, I've got jobs at my house, right? But I feel like it's a back and forth.

It's like, hey, I want to put up this fence. And then it's like five jobs over at his house. By the time I get to the one job that I wanted to get done. Before we put the, before we put the fence up here, come over here. I want to move the table saw in the garage. You know, Jay's. Oh God. I've done that a million times.

But yeah, I just like at a, at a young age, like I'm, you know, talking like 12 years old, I'm in middle school weekends. I got things I gotta do, I want to go hang out with my friends, but no, I gotta go over and put a new sprinkler system and dig up the trenches. Yeah. And I gotta put up new siding on the house and all sorts of crazy stuff. And I just felt like my childhood, but I think maybe, I don't know, do I continue that with my children? Is that a good way to build a relationship with my children now? Is, you know, hey, we're going to be doing all these jobs around the house just like, just

like I was doing. I don't know. Well, the other end of it is if you don't do any of that with your kids, they don't know I do any of it. Then they're the person that's always spending money, their entire lives trying to hire people. People are taking advantage of them because they don't know the way to do it. There's only two options for your kids, honestly, Charlie. What's that? Either you work them like your dad worked you or they get into drugs and they go to jail. And your dad is just preventing you, you know, every day you wake up without a drug addiction, you think your dad, you're working your ass to the bone.

You could have been smoking weed behind the wood shop at school on the weekends, but instead you were working, you turned out to be a pretty good citizen, don't you think? Yeah. Oh, God. I guess. I am a pretty clean person, I guess. So maybe deep down I should have been, you know, applauding his, his efforts. Yeah, maybe, maybe you're right. Yeah, it's kind of like, uh, how do you stop drinking, Charlie?

You don't go to the bar. Says two guys sitting at the bar. Yeah, I'm not saying you do that. But if you theoretically wanted to stop drinking, I don't know why. That's what you do. That's one way to do it. One way to do it. So how old are your kids? Oh, they're young. They're two years old. That's so enough to start moving stuff. They got some time. They got some time. No, yeah. I'm like every, they don't got time. They got to start. Yeah, exactly. Every time I'm doing dishes, I'm just thinking God a couple more years. I'm getting a little Jimmy up here. He's going

to be washing these dishes now. Oh, yeah, we're going to start mowing the lawn. Yeah, great time. Yeah, we can't wait to pass the torch. Exactly. You got to get your investment back on those kids. Exactly. It isn't an investment right? Right. Right. Also, uh, why get something I want to, uh, hold on. What do you do for a living? Well, look at work at a warehouse. Okay. Let me say if you had your, if you were self-employed, you then can write your kids off on taxes, having been employee the company, you get like 13 grand a year or something like that.

Pretty smart. Pretty smart. Yeah, so that's another good way to do it. But anyways, what were you going to say? Oh, I just had something that I want to buy. So are trade. Nice. Is that a table saw?

No, it's about 15 pounds of wall paper. I just took all of my dad. So if anybody wants to buy 15 pounds of wallpaper, I've stripped off the kitchen. I'm flasher that on someone else's house. I'm going to sell for about $3. Do you get a good tear on it or is it all stripped up? What do you mean? You're trying to sell used wallpaper? Yeah, that was the last job I got to do for the last, I don't know, two weeks now, stripping wallpaper off of this kitchen because he's redoing it. How do you get wallpaper off that's still usable? You got magic? What's going

on? Double doors show up. No, no, no, I'm not going to say it's usable. I don't know what you would use it for. But if anybody needs any used wallpaper that's, you know, half destroyed with a bunch of chemicals, yeah, I got it. Dude, I took off so much wallpaper as a kid. Let me ask you this. How many layers of wallpaper was there? Did they wallpaper over the old wallpaper? Was it one of those jobs? No, it wasn't one of those jobs.

Thank God it was just the outside layer and then the glue layer. The glue layer. The glue layer. It's the worst. The glue layer wasn't taken any of the chemicals. So I had to buy like, I don't know what this or something like that. Three coats of that. Finally was coming off a scraper broke a couple of scrapers. Yeah. Some plastic ones. I think I know what happened

here. What is dad told them to take the wallpaper off nicely, kind of like your grandma telling you not to rip the wrapping paper on Christmas, which you can reuse it. Yeah. He's like, that's good stuff. We can reuse that. You better take that off nicely. And it's like he's just chiseling it, chiseling it, finally, it ripped.

And his dad got pissed and said, I'm not dealing with all this wallpaper. You got to get rid of it. And that's how he ended up with it. Yeah, as dad got mad. Yeah, well, I don't know. I'm, I'm, we're trying to update the house and it's just, it's typical Wisconsin. It's the wallpaper with faded flowers and it's yellow. it before it was white. It got wood paneling everywhere. We've got some carpeting with leopard stuff from the 70s. Just ripping this whole house apart.

And this is your parents home. This is your parents home. My parents home. How old are your parents? They're up in their 60s. I think you got to kind of maybe have the talk with them and go, Hey, we really need to update this house for you. I don't know. You know, coming back into style or you don't have that many years left. Can't you just

live with what you got for a while? Oh my God. 60. They got 30 more years. It's like guy or years. I went feson hunting with. He's like 80 some years old and he showed up and he had new boots on and the guy said, what the fuck are you dying by a new boots for at your age? Well, you know, I will say this, you know, all our folks go and when they do, you're going to be wishing, you know, you had one more day to be pulling off wallpaper with them. Yeah, I know you wish you had one more day of verbal abuse holding that flashlight, you know, yeah. Yeah. Hi. Yeah. The PTSD is syncing in guys. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, the short answer is you had to work for your dad. Your are working for you That's that's the way it goes and if they and you know why you're any back talk about it and hold the damn flashlight straight and who turned the heat up If you're cold put a sweater on There you go. Yes exactly exactly. I thought you know, I was thinking so I'm glad you guys reaffirmed it for me. Hell yeah, man. Well, we appreciate you calling in. I don't know if we're going to have any listeners that want 15 pounds of used wallpaper, but you never know. So, uh, does anyone out there looking for that?

I'll just, I'll just put it on the side of the road. I'm sure it'll be gone in two days. Somebody'll pick it up. So someone else, someone else give that. That's our way to work. Well, man, thanks for calling. I appreciate it, boys. So your dad, we say hi.

Thank you very much. Oh, we will. We're good. Watch out for gear. You too now. It's isn't quite amazing, Charlie, how we all just live the same life. Seriously. It's just the world keeps turning and everything is the same.

I just like, I'm very thankful that I get 12 kids in my family. Growing up as a second oldest, always the guy, I got a job so I could start getting paid for the work, you know, yeah. I got a job early. One, uh, one of the projects my parents had me do at the cabin, they have a back garage with an upstairs, it's like, it looks like a barn. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Well, we, uh, the upstairs already had some sheet rock up, but they wanted to insulate it. Uh, and there was no way he was taking, but they wanted to insulate it. And there was no way he was taking the sheet rock down to insulate it and put the sheet rack back up. So instead we punched a hole in the wall and then sprayed in it. And home, you and my brothers, and it was in the middle of winter, no heat had to shimmy on the other side of the wall. Because there's like a little bit of a gap between the wall

and the slant of the barn roof. We had to shimmy and put up insulation on the other side of the wall, a dead of winter. And he had this like little space heater that would only heat that corner of the room. And then at the end of the winter, as we were doing work up there,

he brought out this propane heater and he lit it up and it made everything hot and we were at sweaty and it was like in March, when we didn't need it anymore. They're like, what the, where was this thing when it was negative 10 out, we were shimmying behind the wall. So that that call was very real for me, Charlie. Yeah. No, I, I had, um, don't the wallpaper thing, man. We redid like my grandma's house. We got all the wallpaper that carpeting the worst is carpeting, I think, taking carpeting out and then getting all those, those nail boards that they

have lining the entire perimeter of the room. And then also not trying to scratch the wood floors. So the whole time don't scratch the floors. Don't and then eventually we scratch the floors. So then we get more carpeting to put on after that. Hey, you know, if you want done right, don't have your kids do it. Folks, it's National Indiana Day. Did you know that?

To make the day a hoot, just get yourself some tippy cow. Yes. I've never celebrated National Indiana Day, but with tippy cow, we're always finding some reason to celebrate and why not? National Indiana Day, tippy cow. What the hell? Who's your favorite Tipeekow?

You're really stretched on that one, Miles. I like to see it. Orange cream today. It tastes like a little cream sickle. I'm actually, I had the green before, but if I toss that and I bet that tastes really good, that's the thing with typically a mix them. Taste it. Little shamrock action, little orange cream. Orange. You know what? It's the Irish way to do it. We got to do that on St. Patty's day. Mix the orange and the green. No, Charlie. It's Indiana day right now. Right now, but I'm just thinking ahead. Yay for Indiana, yay for St. Patty's Day, yay for Tippy Cow.

It's just a showdown to all the folks in Indiana go yourself some Tippy Cow to celebrate. We got on the line. How are? Hi, Charlie. This is Evan. How are you? Evan, I'm doing good. How are you? Yeah, I'm good. Nice to hear from you, boy, Dave. Nice to hear from you. You can't know what's going on. Calling from Buffalo. Sorry. Close enough. Damn near. Yeah. Look at Canter for my bedroom window pretty much. So yeah, I got a question for you. Need some really some chip advice a little bit. Relationship advice. Well, you came to the right spot.

You did. Well, during the winter months, I make maple syrup on the side of what I normally do. And usually it's early morning, sometimes in the afternoon, usually goes up until about 11 o'clock at night, sometimes midnight, huckering down some good old lattes and everything,

and then come home and the mist isn't too pleased until she takes the syrup the next day. So I guess the real question is is how do I try to get her off my back a little bit from making thorough? Well, isn't that the age old question, Charlie? How do you keep your whole ball and chain off your back? Well, here's the deal. Miles, I've seen you interact with Anne, you know, and you kind of talk a big game, but apparently you're a big old cuddle bug when no one else is. I don't know. That's what I heard at the bar last night. Oh, I don't know. That's what I heard. Only when I'm sick. That's what I heard. Only when I'm sick.

Hang on, Evan, I need some clarification. So basically, around maple syrup time, you know, your tap and trees, doing your thing, she gets annoyed, you're working too much. Is that the short story here? Long story short, yeah. I'm a field director by day, and then maple syrup producer by night pretty much. Oh, you're a funeral director. Let's hold on with that.

We're going to dive into that in a little bit here. Okay. Does the maple syrup do that would open up a can of work? Yeah, it's the this is a sticky situation getting even stickier. Sorry, Miles, I took your line. That was Miles's line. Miles, I took your line. That was Miles' line. See, I gave you credit. So how much money? Well, how many days a year are you going out in your gontale 11 PM? Is it like every weekend, every weekdays? How often? So pretty much I'll start tappingin' trees around first week in February and then usually it's

about two to three boils a week going up until about the about third to fourth week in March sometimes it pushes in April depending on the season. Yeah, about two months somewhere around there. Yeah, pretty much. Two months and is it every day for two months somewhere around there. Yeah, pretty much. Two months, and is it every day for two months? Not every day pretty much every other day. I'm up at the farm checking trees, checking the buckets, all that sort of stuff.

And then once I have enough, which is usually every three days or so, then I'm running a nice long boil pretty much. And are you making money off this? Haven't made a penny yet. I just did a real test this year. I'm giving away about two and a half gallons of syrup for my brother's wedding next week is wedding favors. So now I know I can make it and I can do it.

Next year, this coming season starts February. I'll hopefully be making some money and I've been doing it for about five years now. Nice. Okay. Well, why don't you bring her with? See, she gets bored very easily. She's the kind of woman I love her to do. Absolutely love her to do.

She's the kind of woman who will tell me, Hey, what's watching movie? And then she passes up within 10 minutes. Yeah. Well, do you have her attention stand isn't quite there? Do you have any kids? Zero. Okay. Well, from what I understand, if you're going to take a kid to church, you don't just take a kid to church, you bring along their toys and a bag of Cheerios. True. So you could think about that option. You know, that could change the game for if you got a little mini iPad in there and a

bag of Cheerios might not be as boring. What is your wife like to do? You know, she likes to build Legos, believe it or not. That's your new kick. Some came absolutely out of nowhere. Love to build Legos, so I might have to go to the Lego store and get her a nice little Lego store. Well, you're gonna have to suck.

You're gonna have to sell some more maple syrup first. Though those Legos are an expensive deal, you know. I know I just bought her a whole flower. I just bought her a whole flower set from Target the other day for a birthday. $50 freaking dollars. Holy crap. For a small little 200 piece set for Legos. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I think I know. I think that that's probably going to have to be the compromise you shower her and Legos and Shall let you play with your trees

Play with some tree juice, you know my as well. I mean heck Yeah, I think it might be that simple now the did you guys buy this property five years ago? Nope. So this piece of property that we call the farm, we have absolutely zero animals on it. But and my girlfriend makes one of me all the time. It's a family property. My great grandfather bought it way back in the early or mid 19001900s and it's been our family ever since that's cool

sub-engineeration now That's great and I'm Well, there's maple syrup you start selling it I think you know, there's probably a little tax thing you can take advantage of over on your property So there might be some financial incentive for, or, uh, you, and then you use that, you know, to your benefits, say, Hey, the more this makes, the more legos you get. So she sees that direct correlation. You know, I think you're absolutely right.

And I don't mind. I, well, I was going to say you can also steer the conversation into shedding light on something. It's only about two months out of the year. And so have a try not to focus two months on the two months that you're busy and focus on the 10 months that you're not as busy and you're around a lot more. Could be a good move too. You know, you know, on our very first date, she asked me, what was the, or what kind of things do you like to do? And I told her from the very gut go from September 1st to about April 1st.

If I'm staying, I'm going out hunting. I'm going out hunting. I'm going out. You know, I'm going out. If I'm making syrup, I'm going out hunting. I'm going out hunting. I'm going out. I mean, I'm going out and if I'm making syrup, I'm making syrup. And she didn't take too very kindly to that, but that's what she's been around for three years now. So I mean, I don't know. It's that stretch from April 1st to August 31st that she gets me pretty much. I'm always there for whenever she does, but just trying to keep her tame to not keep her. I guess I'll try to just make sure it's haunting the fishing. It's not. You left out a lot of details. Okay, you're bearing that. I mean, I think now is your

sweet spot time of the year where you you've got to hang out with her and annoy the living hell out of her. So she's thankful you're getting out of her hair. Be overly nice. Try and be overly helpful with the Legos. Hey, I'll look for a four-pieceer for you. You need a four-pieceer. I'll find it. There you go.

You help her with the Legos to the point where she wants you out of your life for at least six months. That's how you do it. You guys have basically, so six months. That's how you do it. You guys have basically, so six months, you're off the radar. For about three months, you guys have a great relationship. Those last two, you gotta invest in making her wanting you

to leave and then you do. Yeah, you gotta be way too on the radar in the off season for you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know the hell out there. You know, I definitely, I definitely called the right people for you. Yeah. Yeah. Did you know the hell? You know, I definitely, I definitely

called the right people for some regulation of the relationship advice. You did. You did. I started you know, now let's get into the, I got you guys on the phone. Yeah. Well, I got you guys on the phone.

My girlfriend and I we just went up to Green Bay, Wisconsin over the summer and visiting one of her girlfriends that worked in one of the school districts up there. And I told her we got to stop at sleep farm. And holy Jesus, was that freaking amazing. You don't have any of those around here, but oh my God. My girlfriend wanted me to get all of that store within five minutes. My best hell no.

We got to go through the whole damn store. Well, they got a lot of maple syrup equipment there, don't they? Sure do. They also have toilet in there. I wonder if you could get her some legos there, you know, show her the toilet. Next time. I ended up with a gene vest, one one of them done vests from there and she says, you, I'm not catching you wearing that thing around here.

And I started laughing the very first thing I did when I before we hopped on the plane with it, go to the bathroom and through that sucker on and holy crap with that thing comfortable. I bet she was pretty turned on by that. Speaking of being. Speaking of being turned on, you work with the dead. Am I your first few under I threw on the podcast? I try to remember. I think I think so. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, uh, Billy, up to the bar and tell us what's on your mind about being a funeral director. Well, usually when I belly up to a bar and people ask me, what do I do? I just, I am in the medical field. I don't even tell them I'm a few hundred. Because it causes all the million to one questions. But uh, no, I'm a field director here in New York State, fifth generation, my great-great-grandfather started in 1893, and pretty much a nutshell was,

got off the golf course one day, playing high school golf, then we're thinking about going to college to play. And I thought there's more to life than playing a game of golf. So I went and shared with my dad for a couple days and kind of said, line of what? Let's just try it. And then ended up here and it's been about eight years, nine years now.

It's been licensed and it's, believe it or not, it's actually kind of fun. You got it. You gave up a career in golf for a career playing with dead bodies. Uh, uh, this is slightly, I wasn't quite good enough to go pro or anything like that. But I knew what I wanted to do was to help people. So I'm like, it's an open opportunity. And it was why are those shooting from the hip types of things. And I said, why not? Let's just take it roll with the punches and see what happens. And here I've been at her since her eight years.

You ever dealt with someone who got shot from the hip? Sadly, yeah. Yeah, I know you got a lot of questions for them. Yeah, are you in the preparation of the body? Is that part of your job or are you just dealing with the people? Nope, I'm in all aspects. So I'm going out to houses and nursing homes and hospitals and receiving scouting, decedence into our arc here, and then I'm also preparing for deceased for viewing as well. Got it. Got it. So now what is what are the top three questions? People, once people find out you're a funeral director, what are their top three questions? Oh boy. Um, the one I get a lot is do I take the gold teeth out of their mouth?

The answer is no. No. That's why he's got to do the maple syrup gig. He's too honorable of a feudal director. Yeah. What now you what you're doing is you're just inspiring grave robbers. They know that there's gold sitting in each of them graves. Yeah. And one is girlfriend could see you got all this money in these people's mouths. And yet you got to go and do maple syrup.

Yeah. One little flyers could make up for all that time. What do people get buried in rings? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, every state different to a certain extent, but pretty much here in New York, it's, you can pretty much bury a student with whatever the family wants to have inside the casket. As long as that casket is closed and shut, you can have whatever kind of services you want, and that person can be buried with whatever they want. Have you ever seen a body fall out of a casket? Believer or not? No. No. Okay. God.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, advice on that should we be looking now to find some prime real estate or can I wait a little later? Well here's my experience. It's never too late to do anything and there's two things that you'll never escape in a dust and taxes. So my piece of advice is if you're thinking about being buried in a cemetery by your plot, that way it's cheaper in the long run because you can prepay everything, all set ready to go right now, not pay the single penny more when your time comes and it's gonna be a lot cheaper now than it will be in the future

because one thing got ain't making more of it in. So, yeah. When are they going to, do you think these cemeteries are going to be around for a while? I mean, people can't just keep dying and throwing them in land, you know, right? That's got to be going away. Cemeteries. Well, here in New York, what they just started doing as of January 1st is what they call body composting. Oh yeah, our governor, our governor signed it into law, but the problem with that is that nobody really knows what the whole process is. And apparently this is going to be the next big up and coming thing instead of cremation is going to be all this body composting stuff. And what they're realizing with some of the tests that they've done with it is it takes about two years for your body to become into soil, but then that soil is contaminated because

of all the medications that all these people are taking. So it's not really even composting at all. It's just disintegration. Yeah. Pretty much. And then with the bones, they can't even crush up those bones like what cremator remains are because those bones are still soft. They can be crambulators that these crumbatories are using. They can't even crush up any of the bones. Yeah, it's probably good. You tell people that you're just in the medical field when you go to a bar after hearing that. Yeah.

So what's the best way to go with it? Best, what people are doing that well for the planet? Is that the deal? Is that again? Are they doing that for environmental reasons? What's the easiest way to get rid of your body when it's gone? Creamy.

You see, I'm not in the field of getting rid of buys. I'm in the service of planning a funeral and letting somebody be able to say goodbye to their loved one. Whether that's burial or cremation. Whether it's burial or whether it's cremation. And both of those are ways of getting to the brim. Simple cremation. Yeah.

If you just want a simple cremation and have a memorial service with a nice photo, if that makes you feel happy, then great. We'll do that for you, but if you need to see your loved one one last time, then have a like a master service of some sort, we could do that as well. So, to me, it's not necessarily. Go ahead.

How much do you charge for Viking funerals? Sally, it's illegal. It is. Oh, damn it. Well, what the government don't know. the the the the the the the the the

the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the one last question on the pooled cemetery plot. You think Charlie and I can get a two for one deal? Yeah, I want to be very next to miles. Yeah, yeah, some some of the terriers what they do is they'll sell you side by side graves or double depth graves. All right, double depth. That'd be cool.

I say, but eternal bunk beds. Charlie, I get top bunk. Yeah, that's fine. I'm going to decombrose on the other top. There's a lot of liability with that. Yeah. How much how much does a plot like that cost? Like a single plot, you're depending on the cemetery because every single cemetery is different. You could be looking at the price range of about a thousand to two thousand dollars. And then for like a side by side grave,

just double that pretty much. That's kind of a sunk cost seen in the funeral business? Oh God weirdest thing I've had a family want to come in and have their loved one cremated and Then flush their loved ones cremator remains down at toilet in a bar because that's where this lady's husband pissed all this money away. Oh, what a bird. I really hope Anne doesn't listen to this because that's just she's going to do to me when I'm gone. I love that resentment. Did you do it for him? No, I, all I did was I picked up the love one. Not with the family had the love one cremated and then handed back the cremated remains to the family, whether or not they actually did that or not, I have no idea. Don't want to know,

don't need to know. Did they give you a folder's 10 for the ashes? don't want to know, don't need to know. Did they give you a folder's 10 for the ashes? I've had people actually do that before too. Yeah, I've had people do that before. Stick me in the coffee counter and the cookie jar and put me up on the mantle. Yep, that's fun. That's fun. That's a good story.

Got any other hum dingers? I don't know. I mean, I get a lot of weird requests every, every, no one again, but nothing, the sad part is about, you know, services that nothing surprises me anymore. Every time I think something that I've seen it all, no, I haven't. Yeah. I am. No, I haven't. Same with the bar industry. I think, Charlie, we've seen it all, you know, I know we haven't. I think, I think if I go, I'm going to say, cut me up and spread me around, you know what I mean? Like the organs get the organs out, right? If you're an organ donor, do you just stuff some pillows in there or how does that

work? No, no, no, no. What do you do? I pretty much, what I pretty much do is I just preserve you to that state and clean you up and medically embomu. So you are viewable and I'll pretty much leave it at that. There's some things that are just stuck here in the trade that I don't really talk about. Let's say I die and I want the tummy tuck package. Do you do that afterwards? It's gotta be cheaper than getting one real life, right? Good question.

If I wanna look like a chisel model in the casket, can you do that for me? In theory, you could not necessarily preck, not necessarily practical, but in theory, you could. Yeah. To a certain extent. Give me a six pack or six. I can't give you a six pack and a casket, but I can take a couple of pounds. Well, you're not as good as I thought you were, but I think you could do it. What's the weirdest clothing you've ever buried someone in? We're just clothing. First one that comes to my mind was a gentleman who ran a predominant dairy factory here in Buffalo and multi multi multi multi millionaire huge corporation. We laid him out in a spam t-shirt and a pure jeans. Matt, a boy. I love that. I That a boy. Anyone ever Donald Duck in it?

And the coffin. No, no, no, no, would, would, would, if someone wanted, if someone wanted Donald Duck, it would you be opposed? I mean, you can't see anything. Anyway, they're, they're covered, you know, get that half cast it. I have had the request of somebody wanting to be viewed but naked Donald thought and I told them block it. Here's what I'll do. When we have you for the viewing, I will have you close, but once everybody leaves and it's time for

me to close the casket and I know that casket isn't opening back up, I will unclothe you. So because I accept the bonus. then it's time for me to close the casket and I know that casket isn't opening back up, I will unclothe you. So because I accept the bonus. I mean, hey, if that's what the gentleman wanted, that's what the gentleman wanted and I'll give it to him. So nice. Meet him halfway to a certain extent. What? Okay. Okay. Well, man, this has been great. Yeah. Really, I open anybody ever want to make themselves like a sushi platter before they go, you know, like make themselves the buffet

table. Oh, you know, body sushi. No, no, no, I have not. Maybe we'll inspire some of that after this podcast, you know, and hey shout out your business. What's the name of your business? Let's get you. You know, who doesn't want that? No, no, no, I probably shouldn't be saying exactly what business I've worked for. Yeah, we lost a little trust along the way.

Didn't we? It was the Donald Duck in comment, huh? I guess you could say so. Oh my gosh. All right. No, it's an honor being a field director. It really is. Yeah. Well, I appreciate you calling in, man.
