Welcome back to another episode of the bellied up podcasts. I'm here with Charlie Barron's
Charlie. How you doing today? Good. I like turtles bar and grill. This is a cool place.
Shakopee, Minnesota. It's actually a great spot. We're here on a Sunday. The Vikings
game is on and the people came out to watch. And I, if you're looking for a spot to watch
a game while you're in Shakopee. You got to swing over to turtles.
Are you Charlie? Yeah, I wouldn't.
And on the way in miles, it's you know what?
I know it's very close to it's close to what the six flags
Valley Fair Valley Fair Six Flags.
Sorry, it's six flags went to college.
I tell you what, when we were in seventh grade or something,
we got to take a field trip to Valley Fair with our whole class into the year or something like that for our trip. Just to go to a, it was like
one of the last days of school, you know, you guys didn't have any closer, uh, amusement,
no six flags Fargo. No, no, not a chance. No, but, uh, so I've been to Valley fair a
few times with my family, with my classmates, Charlie, what do you, what, what's maybe your favorite and worst part of a theme park?
Well, sorry for the delay. That was a burp. So I like the theme park that I went to growing
up was six flags, great America down there in Gurney or pass Gurney or the
mayor where it is. But I love the roller coaster aspect of it that I loved the wooden roller
coaster. Cause you're gambling a little, you know, it's like, do they have termites or
not? Yeah. That's the kind of gamble you're, your plan. Like anyone can be safe on a metal
roller coaster. I like finding the oldest roller coaster like American Eagle.
You look at. Yeah, you're looking for a rickety one.
Yeah, something that just gets you going a little bit
because you kind of ever recalibration of life I learned, you know.
Yeah. When the thing goes around the corner, it maybe sways out a little bit.
Yeah. Kind of like an old swing set.
If you swing too high, the whole thing starts.
Yeah. You feel the bump,
but then that just pushes you back the centrifugal force after that.
That's what I like about it. And I like, I don't like a nice clean park.
I'm not a, I went to Disney. Oh, forget about it, dude.
Forget it's way too clean there. People respect each other there.
I want people skipping lines
and not paying for the line skipping pass.
You want some like dads getting in arguments
because their kid was in front of the other kid.
Exactly, I want some people taking the cotton candy
and putting it in their liquor drink
and just getting that.
That's a good idea.
It is, yeah.
You wanna see some people do that?
Head on over to Six Flags.
Miles, what's your favorite part about the theme park?
My favorite part about theme,
so I like roller coasters as well.
I do not like the, the power tower.
The one where you just go up.
Oh, the giant trap?
Yeah, the whatever it's called.
The one where you just go all the way to the top
and you sit there and wait to fall straight down
You have no interest in that one. I don't love heights
You don't love heights. No, I I'm kind of a wuss when it comes. Oh, thank you. Oh was that
Calls wonder if that's a grape ape or not. I know I think it's a skull shot. Okay, I think that after
Let me smell that. Let's see. This is after the Viking scored. I can't smells pretty good. And you can't, no, I can't drink this out of principle. No,
you have to, you have to know it's purple. Just do it, Charlie. The Vikings just scored
a 99 yard touchdown. I don't, that's that cheers. All right, fine.
Great, babe, is what that is.
Also, I don't really love the water rides, because, I mean.
Dude, you are talking about the best parts right here.
The water rides are great.
It's a hot day.
You got a headache from being on Viper or whatever.
Get over the water rides.
It puts you back
I think it's probably because the one time I went I forgot to bring like a swimsuit with
So I just had my normal clothes
You were chafing and then I went on a water ride and then I was just chafing and just sopping wet for the next hour
I have sticky britches. You know, I think that that's maybe yet
also the people that you know, like the there's the one the one the ride where everyone gets in a thing
They go up and then they go down. There's a huge wave and then people stand on the bridge. Yeah, I think I wet yeah
People we've seen the videos of people just getting demolished by the wave
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Oh, that's usually on the log ride kind of situation.
You know, at six flags, not to bring that back up, but during Halloween they would
open it back up again and all the rides would go backwards.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I never got to do that.
One of my biggest life regrets, but you know, maybe if I'm not doing anything this year you're still alive Charlie what are you doing miles you want to
come to Six Flags just me yeah that'd be fun okay maybe I can win you when we
were kids I remember we were playing they're like carnival style games you
can win stuffed animals and we won a like life-. Sponge Bob.
Do you still have this? No, but we had it for a long time and I just will never forget my dad having to lug it around.
Because kids, kids aren't going to carry it around.
So I want to give a huge shout out to all the dads that go to theme parps and have to
lug around all of the winnings that the kids get.
And it's usually some giant stuffed animal that makes them just want to end it all.
Makes them want to go on the power tower
and have it not hit the brakes at the bottom.
To the dads.
To those dads.
To the theme park dads.
Cheers.
Cheers dads.
Good luck out there at the theme parks.
Charlie.
Should we take some calls?
Let's do it.
Welcome to the Bellied Up Podcast.
Who are we talking to?
We are talking. You are talking to Emily and Braylin,
Emily and Braylin. Well, why don't you Billy up to the bar? What do you got in your mind today?
Well, we are actually in a rehab and we were just speaking to Justin for recreational activities. Okay. Hold on. Back up the truck. Back up the ATV. Who, who, who is we? You said we are in rehab. Why are you in rehab?
What kind of rehab are we talking about? Emily and Braylin. Oh, we. We got a twofer here, a bowl. Go buy one. Get one. I thought that
Braylon was the town she was in. Okay. So we're talking to two gals in rehab. Did you
meet in rehab or go there together on the same corridor? We, we, we did end up meeting
here. So they say that that's one of the steps
to rehab. Charlie is finding a mate to help you along the way. That's true. You need a
support system. It's good. You guys found each other. So what ended up, how'd you guys
land in rehab? Let's bring up the past. Okay. Well, this is Emily speaking. I am in rehab for alcohol and me being gray. When I am here
in rehab for fentanyl. Okay. Right. Not messing around. So we're getting, we're getting, we're
getting both ends of the spectrum here, Charlie. How's rehab going so far? Give us the update.
It's actually going really good. The first week is the hardest week, but now that we're
a couple of weeks in, I mean, shit's actually starting to go smooth. So,
okay. So it's after a few weeks, rehab is basically just like summer camp or what? Yeah.
Something like that. Okay. Good. We're running, we're running out of activities. And I'm the recreational leader and I have to come up with activities to do for all 45
patients to enjoy.
Oh, have you started cigarettes yet?
Oh yes. I didn't smoke cigarettes before getting here. Without the habit, you pick up real
quick.
Oh, actually? I didn't know that.
It's like a staple of AA. Everyone drinks coffee and smokes cigarettes.
That is one of the top recreational activities here. Well, let's see here. What can we put
on top of the cigarettes? What can really increase that buzz? So running is out of the
mix. Where is the rehab? Where is the rehab facility? If they go running, Charlie, the people are going
to think they're trying to escape. And then they're going to chase them down with a net.
Oh, you guys got, so you guys are in one of those high security rehabs. It's a glorified
jail. We prefer to call it like a deer farm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you will.
So do you have a lot of outdoor space you can kind of play with here or is it mostly
indoor activities you're looking for?
Oh, yeah, there is quite a bit of outdoor space.
We have a smoky sign and a non-smoking side, but as you can imagine, nobody really goes
to the non-smoking side.
All right. So I did not know that about rehab. side and a non-smoking side. But as you can imagine, nobody really goes to the non-smoking side.
All right.
So you want to-
I did not know that about rehab.
I'm glad you called in.
I now have a talking point with someone who just got out
of rehab at the bar, you know?
Do you guys have bags set up there?
Yes, we do have that. But nobody really plays it because one of the
boards is broken. All right. Okay. Well there's first activity wood shop.
Yes. Yeah.
You guys can make big boards.
Sets were not allowed to have any thing that can possibly kill somebody.
Okay. So no power tools or screwdrivers even, I
guess, Charlie, imagine tensions run high. So what do you guys do? I suppose you guys
don't have steak for dinner ever is really tough. Otherwise you just say maybe take the
other day. Okay. So just a lot of plastic silverware. Yeah, very much so.
What's tough.
Um, uh, you guys could, uh, Ooh, Charlie, you might like this one.
What?
Uh, you guys could do improv night.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
That's great.
That was a great idea.
Yeah.
You guys can roll.
Good idea.
You can role play me and Charlie.
We'll give you an example here.
Yeah.
All right.
So Charlie and I were walking down the road and this is the role play. Me and Charlie will give you an example here. Yeah. All right. So Charlie and I were walking down the road and this is the role play. Hey Charlie, you just got
out of rehab, right? Yeah. Do you want some fentanyl? Oh no, miles. We go. You pass the
test, Charlie. See, it's that much fun. Only is it fun to do improv. You guys can do life
lessons within it and really test the waters
on your guys's skills that you're learning. Yeah. You can express yourself. Yeah. Cause
I know, cause I know one thing about people who are in rehabilitation is they love to
talk about devices that got them in rehabilitation. Right? Yeah. That was our first question. We found that out. Yeah. That was sorry about that. Yeah. That was rude in retrospect. No, no, no. I gotta
embrace it. Yeah. I suppose. Yeah. So we got improv. We got workshop. What else Charlie?
Um, have you guys ever, can you do leather working? You know,
yeah. Can you learn how to work, make some wallets or something
for the four people that still have wallets?
You guys should do a Etsy shop.
Yeah. You guys can start your new business right now.
And you got a great people.
People are a sucker for rehabilitation story too.
You just put that front on the website and just say,
we're all recovering and this is our way to cope
and you guys are gonna sell wallets like crazy.
Or handbags, you can call them rehab bags.
Yeah.
You know?
I was gonna say.
RB. Yeah, no, yeah,
that's a good selling line.
Yeah, Coco Chanel should watch out.
What if you guys become the next like coach or is coach the cheap one?
Yeah, and I mean we already all of us here pretty much learned how to make bracelets of every kind of any style
You can think of so yeah, we could start with that and move on to purses and wallets. Yeah
Cool
Be good. Yeah, there's one problem with recreation on Sundays is we all fight over which game we're going
to watch. Oh, the game. Yeah. I'm well, I feel like I'm, I mean, I'm not at rehab. I'm
at a bar second, but we are also fighting about the game here. Also not to think about
Charlie. You should probably stop calling into podcasts named bellied up to the bar. It could be a part
of your rehab.
It could be frowned upon. Well, they're in there. I've watched you guys on. I've watched
you guys forever. Okay. Well, so rehab isn't going to stop me. Okay. I like that. Thank
you. Thank you. Do they ever make you pull landscaping duty at rehab?
We actually just cleaned out and pulled weeds in the volleyball court.
Really? So is this a rehab that you pay to go to or that you like are concerned state-warned?
Yeah. What's the funding system there? Well, you pay for it, but insurance covers a lot of it.
Pay for it, insurance covers it,
but do they make you do the labor?
How does that work?
No, we just did it because we were bored
and we didn't have anything else to do,
so we started pulling leaves.
Oh, start a community garden.
Oh, that could be good.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a really good idea.
Yeah, and then- So we and then you like fruits and vegetables fruits vegetables hemp well
Hemp can work hemp is non-car. There's no chemicals our synergies. Yeah, I didn't say I didn't say marijuana I said hemp
I didn't say I didn't say marijuana. I said hemp
Well, you guys start growing hemp they can grow tobacco though for and then you guys can learn how to roll your own cigarettes That is true. Yeah, then we won't have to spend ten dollars for a pack of cigarettes every two days
every two days
Sometimes it's a pack a day.
So this is how many breaks you get throughout the day.
Yeah.
Are people smoking more acoustic cigarettes
or they're going on the vape train?
The vape train.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
What's the dress code like in rehab?
No bellies, no butt cracks, no shoulders.
No shoulders. Is this a Mormon rehab? That all's going on in Utah.
Kind of feels like it. Yeah. I kind of feels like it.
Okay. What's, Oh, sorry. Are there rehab hookups?
What's the dating scene like in rehab?
Um, uh, personally, rehab hookups. That's all I was saying. What's the dating scene like in rehab? Personally, I'm actually on a behavioral contract because they don't encourage fraternization and I accidentally and unintentionally intentionally partook in front.
Wow. Back that someone talked to their lawyer, Charlie unintentionally slash intention. What happened?
We, we were making out in the kitchen. You were on what do we have chores? We get chores.
And so we were on this duty. You guys just say they got down in dish dirty in the kitchen.
Charles, was it just making out or was there any hand stuff involved?
No. Oh, my gosh. No, only making out.
OK. How long how long were you guys on dish duty together before you started
swapping, swapping the old slime on console hockey?
Yeah. Two days.
Two days.
What's his name?
Not last name.
His name is Miles.
Oh, Miles.
No way.
Yeah, she's going with a fake name.
She's going with a, what'd you like about him?
It's not a fake name, it's really his name.
Oh, it's really?
This is Amelie and it's actually not a fake name.
That's real life.
That's good. So what, what attracted you to him was he just like a really good scrubber
like see them forearms popping down and dirty with those dishes. I imagine it's, I imagine
it started like the flirting started when he was spraying the dishes and then just turn
the hose towards her and sprayed her a little bit. Next thing you know, get a little wet shoulder contest.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Something like that. Who made the first move? Actually he did. What? How contact. And then one thing led to another.
Miles is doing an improv act out of your first day and I'm starting to get turned on. So please miles miles. If you don't want this to end up the same way, we better hear the end of this story.
So now that it's forbidden, do you want him even harder now?
Yeah. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? How that works when you're not allowed to do something, you
want to do it even more.
I mean, that's how you guys ended up there. Yeah, exactly.
Did they catch you making out?
Somebody did. I don't know who. I think it was one of the kitchen staff, one of the rats.
Huh? So, so you're making, you're making making out in the kitchen you get ratted out and now are you guys separated?
Yeah, they they transferred and they were gonna transfer me too, but I begged for behavioral contact. I was like look
I didn't get a warning
Do you have any contact with them? There's no I mean, this is a love story write a country song about this
I met him in rehab over by the dishes. They said we couldn't be calling us Mrs. Yeah. Something like that. Oh my God. Yeah. There's a song in the works. Well, the next time we call it in, is this a, is this
like a, a, a, the movie grease situation where you guys are just hanging out for the summer
or like you really liked this guy or is it just a summer fling rehab lovers? I do really like him, but you can't put all of your eggs in one basket, you know?
That's, oh, she's playing, she's playing the field outside the rehab facility.
Okay. What's the other guy you got your eye on at rehab? I know that now that miles has
gone who's next up. Oh man. How did you know? Oh my gosh.
His name is Wyatt. Wyatt?
Damn, that was the name I was gonna pick right there.
Wyatt, tell us about Wyatt.
What's he in for?
No, he actually has the same drug of choice
that he's in for fentanyl.
Oh, well you guys have a lot in common.
Yeah, I know, right? It's a good starting conversation. Yeah, you guys have a lot in common. Yeah, I know, right?
It's a good starting conversation.
You guys can be a good support system for each other.
What do you like more about Wyatt than you do Miles?
That he's more genuine.
I feel like Miles is kind of just,
you know, like he didn't really,
he was just into the flirting and the acting of flirting.
And Wyatt actually has genuine conversations with me.
Oh, and he calls me beautiful, so that's cool.
Beautiful.
Oh, beautiful.
Yeah, well, it sounds like Miles is just
in the rear view mirror now.
And it's all about Wyatt.
So how are you flirting with Wyatt knowing you can't,
do you think Wyatt? Now that you're on a behavioral contract. Yeah, are you flirting with Wyatt knowing you can't, you know, do you think why you're on a behavioral contract? Yeah.
Are you slipping them notes?
Well, that's how it started. And then I got my phone back.
You get your phone back after a week.
And so now we just text and then we still have the intent by contact,
but it's just texting conversation.
Okay. So you're just, you guys are just sending photos back and forth.
Dude. Hey, rehab is crazy. I mean Sudoku and everything. Sudoku?
Sudoku and cards.
Does it?
Yeah, I really have to retire now.
Does the staff suspect that you and Wyatt are trading ugly bumpies over the text messaging?
Not to my knowledge.
I mean, I feel like I'm a lot more discreet now.
So Emily, right, Emily, you, are you, you don't got any love interests in rehab?
Oh, no.
That was a hesitant no. Is it Wyatt? You can tell us.
No.
Okay. All right. We'll leave it at that. Yeah. Yeah.
Emily's mad because she-
No, I just got out of a very long relationship
and it ended very messy.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, give it some time.
Well, we gotta talk to Emily.
Emily, you're the one that called in, right,
about the recreational activities
and here we are just talking about.
Charlie, I still just have so many questions.
Oh, okay, keep going.
No, I know, it's just my head is spinning.
Well, give us one, Miles, that's fine. Yeah, is going. I know it's just my head is spinning. Well, give us one miles. That's fine.
Yeah. Is the staff nice to you there or are they kind of hard asses?
Depends on the day.
What would make them get really mad at you besides making out in the
dishwashing area?
For me, it's always being late.
Where are you going?
Because I, well, I just have to walk from my room to the, to
the lecture hall. But for some odd reason, I'm always late because I just, that's just
who I am. And so I always make the excuse of, I'm sorry. I hit a deer on the way here
and they don't find that funny.
I find it very funny, Emily.
You know what? You're not late. You just have time blindness. Try that one next.
You know, it's like I'm time blind. Yeah, it's a, it's a medical condition. I have time blindness. So you can't be mad at me for showing up late.
What are they going to do?
Exactly.
Well, they can make me stay here longer.
Oh, they can.
Oh, so you got a that's the leverage.
I was wondering what the leverage was.
How long are you in for?
Yeah, I'm in here until the end of this month.
OK, so we got a couple of weeks left.
Yep.
Is there, you know, is there people that have been there, you know, three, four or five times, you know, like they've done a few tours of rehab now?
Are they kind of the-
Oh yeah, this is actually my second time.
Okay.
So is it like, is there respect in the rehab community of someone who's been there
multiple times to where like they kind of have a, like, they know the ropes. Yeah. They
got a crew that they lead, you know, is it like that?
Basically the people that have been here before just kind of, um, takes the lead. If that
makes sense. Kind of like, kind of like the team captain.
Yeah. Rehab team captain. Put that on a resume. Actually. Yeah. That is perfect. Yeah. Well,
I think that, you know, we've got like the, the gardening that could be the non-hemp gardening, and the woodworking, if we could have some tools
that didn't involve life-threatening conditions,
that would be good.
God, I'm trying to think what else.
I think we did a good job, Charlie.
Okay.
I think they got some good, they can't do it all at once.
That's true.
We're gonna start with those and go from there.
Yeah. How's that sound?
We actually, we actually had a fire drill the other day and my counselors didn't think I was
too funny, but I shouted out, I was like, well, we're all outside, no gates. Why don't we all just
run? Because they can't catch all of us. They didn't find that very funny.
Yeah. Hey, you don't have to be the fastest one running away. You just can't be
the slowest. That's true. Yep. It's tough though. There's a, there's a, there's a Milo
field right across the way. And I was just like, everybody's head in there. Stay as low
as you possibly can. Nobody will see you. Yeah, smart.
Run and hide.
Don't just run a long ways because you guys all got smokers lungs anyways.
You ain't getting far before you're keeled over.
Exactly.
So you got to think smart.
Yeah.
Well, we appreciate you calling in today.
Stay strong in there.
You're almost done. And, you know, if you need a sponsor,
this is my second time talking to you guys. And I don't think I made the actual video
last time that was posted on Facebook. So hopefully this one makes the cut. I think
it's good. What are we talking about the last time? The last time I was asking
for relationship advice and we talked about going. I said that I'm a football fan, cheese
fan. And we talked about how a first date would be a cheese game. Oh yeah. Oh. Yeah, I remember that.
Did that not make the cut?
Yeah, Jared.
That made the cut.
That made the cut.
Are you bullshitting?
No, I'm looking at Jake right now.
No, I do remember that.
It might not have made a clip,
but I think it's at the...
It's on the podcast.
I'm not quite there.
Well, I didn't see it on Facebook.
Well, this I think will make a video cut out of.
So yeah, don't you worry about that.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Well, congratulations.
You guys enjoy your beer for me.
Yeah. Yeah.
We'll drink one for you.
All right.
Yeah. Order a cord light. Drink it for me.
All right. You got it. Good work. You guys enjoy rehab and we'll talk to you soon. We'll
see on the other side. Okay. All right. Good gals. Again, it's just like, that's a world
that no one ever talks about, you know? I like that they made rehab not such as a sensitive subject.
No.
Cause you don't know what goes on in there.
No, summer camp, hookups, the whole deal.
I mean, there's like a TLC show in there.
Yeah.
So should we take another caller, Charlie?
Let's take another caller.
Oh wow, this is Suzie, caller from Seattle. This is Susie. Caller from Seattle.
Susie from Seattle.
Susie and you get much sleep out there in Seattle.
I knew you were going to go to that mouse.
Well, we have a two and a four year old.
So not really nice.
They call back a good call.
Yeah. Well, Susie, why don't you belly up to the bar?
What's on your mind today? Well, Susie, why don't you belly up to the bar? What's
on your mind today?
Well, I first wanted to say that you guys have like really developed a great brand because
it's really hard to get into you guys on the phone. Well, we only could take one caller
at a time and that's the tough part. I wish we could take more than one. Maybe, maybe
one time me and you could just do, we can just take colors separately and then just splice them in.
Yeah, we should do something like that.
Well, we're glad you made it on. What do you, what do you got for us today?
Well, yeah, thank you. So I first wanted to say, I called in yesterday at my parents house,
which they're in suburban land and we live up in the city of
Seattle. And I was trying to explain to my mother, she's almost 70 to podcast. And I
found it to be very, very hilarious because I don't think any podcast like this exists.
That's good cornered the market. Might be a reason for that. Can we can we patch her in? Can we
patch her in? Oh, I think I don't know. I'm not sure you can on you have an iPhone. I
don't I'm an Android user. Oh my God. I know. Can you add a call like on your thing to say
like add a caller? Let's get her on your let to say like, add a call, call her. Let's get
her on here. Let's explain to her what this podcast is. I'd love to talk to her. Okay.
Let's see. Oh my, let's see. Hey, can everyone hear? I got Gina. Hi Gina. Is this Gina? Yes. Gina, how's it going?
Hey mama, this is the podcast.
I know, it's so cool.
I mean, it's going really great.
Yeah, you are on the Bellied Up podcast.
So you had some questions about our podcast.
Like, why would anyone listen to that, right?
Well, I was intrigued because I like unusual things.
So I thought it was very unusual.
So I'm kind of intrigued about your podcast.
So can you explain it to me?
Sure.
Basically, I'm Charlie,
and this is my buddy, Miles, sitting right next to me.
And we're sitting at a bar,
and our whole job is we go to different bars,
and we have people call in,
and they give us their, they ask for advice,
or they rant about something,
or they give us a confession.
So if you had a confession you wanted to get off your chest,
we could hear it right now.
Now we're not priests, but we are at a bar.
Right.
Oh, it's been so much fun.
No, I just think it's marvelous.
We need this kind of joy and fun in the world.
Though I have no confessions except for,
I just want people to love one another, basically.
Take care of one another and be kind to one another.
Basically, that's my mantra.
Well, that is so beautiful.
Now, Gina, though, I do know that although you
are all about love, there's gotta be something
that irritates you.
Come on.
Oh, Lord.
There's gotta be something that drives you up a wall.
He's being so nice.
I'm trying, I'm staying out of the political arena
but we don't want to make, we've got to come together
as people and embrace our differences
with kindness and non-agency. So I won't go into that arena, but when the squirrels get into
the bird feeder, that makes me really irritated because we have birds everywhere here.
Okay.
My husband is like...
You go ahead.
Yes.
The squirrels literally,
my husband actually made them a feeding box
for them to have their own food,
but yet they steal from the birds.
That's very annoying.
Those damn squirrels.
Those squirrels, you know, they just have no manners.
Have you tried greasing up the pole
so they can't climb that sucker?
Oh, he said everything.
It's quite interesting though,
because I call him like Saint Francis of the PC,
which is the Saint of Nature,
because he literally is out there.
You can't believe the birthday comes our house.
But the squirrel, he's done everything.
In fact, he puts his birthday, I'm looking put this birthday right now out and they jump. They
literally jumped into it and get into the bird.
Did you say that your husband is, you say your husband's like St. Francis of Assisi?
Was because of the end. We kept a little bird alive that had a little paw that's a little rose-paw, but his
little thick got to where he couldn't purge.
And we kept him alive all summer long by making him a special feeder.
That's what he did, not me.
Special feeder, it put umbrellas over stuff so he didn't get too hot while he was eating.
Honest to God.
This is what we did.
Kept him alive all summer.
But...
It's pretty intense. They live on a lake.
It's their backyard.
And like, so they have ducks that my dad feeds.
My dad's a retired firefighter after 40 years.
Nice.
I'm a retired nurse.
And this is like their thing.
So like the ducks come up, they got the squirrels, they got the flickers.
They got like everything
you can ever think of.
Tiger monkeys in the lake, eagles.
Well that is, that is gorgeous, you know?
And you're talking to two Catholics on the other end,
so we both know about St. Francis of Assisi.
Tell you that much.
Let me say Assisi. Close, you kinda, yeahisi. Tell you that much. I say Sissy. Yeah.
Close. You kind of, yeah.
You kind of messed that up.
Your mom's going to hear this.
There's one other thing that really,
we bought one of those vacuums, you know,
the one that just fills and does this thing,
what I, you know, little like Roomba type vacuum.
Yeah.
But so this one, you'll probably get a good laugh on it.
This is the noise.
I had my surfer, I did my pours, I just set it up,
on the other, I don't know, I just set it here,
then it comes back, and it fell on top of it.
It started, but it gave it like a concussion.
It came out, and it was just in circles,
and it was going all different ways,
and it couldn't find out.
It poured again, and I was, it was going all different ways. It couldn't find out a port again. It was
chasing me around the house because I tried to get away from it. I'm in a walker and so
it's not easy to find out a loose, crazy, concussed vacuum cleaner. And no matter what
we did, we did it closely to that milk would not dogs. It would come out and be circled.
That's another thing.
So be very careful of those because literally, they can kill old people.
So you're claiming that Roombas can kill old people is what you said?
Well, I'm not saying Roombas.
I'm not putting a tie. I'm not putting it, I don't even know
what the brand is.
I'm not putting, I will not say a Roomba
because it's not a Roomba, but it's just because
it got a concussion because don't drop anything on it.
Oh, well I got news for you.
There's one solution that solves both your problems.
You got the runaway vacuum situation
and you got the squirrels.
You get yourself one shotgun, you got a solution for both.
Oh, I don't believe in guns.
I'm a Catholicist.
I couldn't do that.
Even though they annoy me,
I've never heard an animal.
Yeah, she's a good Catholic versus you,
who's kind of a, what we would call a cheaster
in the Catholic community.
I'm a cafeteria Catholic,
and they serve squirrel in the cafeteria.
I thought you were gonna say put the Roomba in the yard,
and it just would run over the squirrels.
Oh, that's an idea.
Why don't you let the Roomba loose?
There you go.
Set it free.
Yes, set it free.
But no, I'm a recovering Catholic,
and I swear like a trooper, so no, I don't put me on that
set of shoulders.
But in a sense, I do.
You're a recovering Catholic?
Yes.
Oh my god.
I don't believe in organized religion, but I believe in being good and
kind and really following what, you know, our priest, before I quit the Catholic Church,
said there should be the Christ on earth and go out and do good things and do what God
wants you to do, and that's basically what we should do.
So that's what I do, but I know I swear a lot. So I know that God,
I've been a lot of time in purgatory. So all the swearing I've done, but it's okay.
Hey, I, you know, people rag on purgatory, but I think it's going to be a party. It's
all, you know, that's where all the fun people go before they get to heaven.
Heaven's happy hour. Heaven's happy hour. Yeah. Purgatory is the pregame. And you get those little, whatever little things they have at happy hour, the real white
specials where you get all the little hors d'oeuvres or whatever. Yeah. That's all be
purgatory. That won't get a thrashing for being, you know, whatever, but you guys are
great. I love what you're doing. It's so much fun. Well, thank you. And thank you for chit chatting with us today. We really appreciate it. And
hopefully we sold you on the podcast and good luck with your squirrel problem. Yeah. Well,
you know, maybe you should buy a wolf. Yeah. Well, we did have a bear in the neighborhood a while back, but as far as anything like chiasma,
we got back to that, just too populated.
The most dangerous animals here are humans.
Humans.
Humans.
Except for squirrels.
We are.
We are very dangerous.
Until your Roomba takes over, or your non-Roomba Roomba,
the robots are gonna take over soon, and that Roomba is over or your non Roomba Roomba. The robots are going to take over soon. And that Roomba is proof.
Oh gosh. Oh gosh.
Don't get him started on robots mom.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I do. I do love the podcast though, Charlie.
When you go off on the robot.
Don't tell them that.
People like it.
I play for the crowd, Miles.
I play for the crowd. People that works with Charlie is sitting at the robot. Don't tell them that. People like it. I play for the crowd, Miles. I play for the crowd.
One of the people that works with Charlie
is sitting at the bar.
As soon as she started talking robots,
she put her head in her.
Oh, no.
She's got a finger gun in the mouth.
Well, just Google it.
Where are you guys?
Where are you guys right now?
We are over at Turtles in Minnesota.
We're in Shakopee.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Great, very cool.
Charlie, my daughter said that she had a girl,
but she's not having any more babies.
She would call the girl, Charlie.
She loves that name.
That is a good girl name.
Oh, yeah, it is.
You can spell it with an E-Y, and it makes a great gal that name. That is a good girl name. Oh yeah, it is.
You can spell it with an E-Y and it makes a great gal's name.
Yeah, so see, that's cool.
Well, I'm going to sign out here for you guys.
You have a great day.
Go Minnesota Vikings.
You're the Vikings?
Is that what you are?
Yeah, you are.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, the Seahawks are ahead right now by four over the matrix. So we'll see
what happens. You guys take care and have fun today. Okay. You too. Go pack. Go. Hey,
we'll see you in purgatory. Save us a bar? Yes, thank you. We'd appreciate that.
We'll belly up in Purgatory.
Sounds great.
Thanks a lot, guys.
Real good.
We'll talk to you soon now.
Okay, bye.
Can I stay on?
Yeah. Oh yeah, you stay on.
We got some stuff to talk about.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Thank you so much for talking to my mom.
That's gonna make her like decade. Oh, that was really nice of her. She's a good gal. Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much for talking to my mom. That's going to make her like decades.
Oh, that was really nice. Good gal. Yeah. Good gal. Yeah. She's amazing. He really is.
You had some else you wanted to talk about?
Yeah. So I don't even know how I came upon your podcast, but I'm Pacific Northwestern, like through and and through never been to the Midwest. And
you guys talk about things that I would love to learn. And I was thinking that you should
start like a tour program where you have newbies who have no idea what they're doing, you know,
sign some significant legal documentation to come out, learn how to sit in a deer stand,
how to get into a deer stand. I don't know how
to mid-west bootcamp is what she's talking about. Charlie. I like that idea. There needs
to be like a one-on-one like a one-on-one first, like just fly into a Midwest airport
and like just see the landscape for her.
I love how she, she doesn't want to fully commit to actually going to the Midwest. She just wants to see
it from the airport.
I want to see it from the airport and then see it like, okay, yeah, maybe I can do a
weekend in the world.
No, no, no. If we're going to do Midwest bootcamp, we're going to do it right. Charlie, what
is the first class at a Midwest bootcamp?
Every Midwest boot camp begins with learning
how to make a Bloody Mary in an old fashioned, okay?
So you gotta learn the basics.
It starts with sustenance food.
Bloody Mary equals breakfast to champions.
It's a well-balanced breakfast
and that's how you start your day, okay?
From there, we're gonna go right into fishing, and we're going to do regular spinner fishing.
We can do fly fishing if you've got a lot of money to burn.
And then we're going to learn ice fishing.
Now, if there's not ice, we're going to simulate that from a tree.
OK, from there, we'll go into small game hunting and cooking.
So squirrels are overpopulated and they're a good way to start.
They're kind of tough to shoot when you get your aim down on a squirrel.
And then we'll move to deer, because if you miss a deer and you get a shot at that,
we'll never let you live it down.
And speaking of deer, the next class, Charlie, is driving in the Midwest.
Got to do what when you're driving, Charlie? When you're driving, you got to in the Midwest. Gotta do what when you're driving, Charlie?
When you're driving, you gotta in the snow, you gotta go slow enough
so the person in the front seat can clean a bluegill without giving themselves
an accidental circumcision.
And in the winter, in the summer, you gotta be watching out for the deer.
Actually, you watch out for deer any time of year.
And you always be aware of ice on bridges, even in July,
because you never know when that can come around.
Also, you pass Bob and Pam's house.
You give them a double toot and a wave.
Otherwise, they'll think you're from Chicago.
And if you got some time, you have to stop in.
Yeah, absolutely.
Stop in for two tree beers and ask them what's going on.
Thousand percent, okay.
And anytime you see someone get a new lawnmower,
we're just gonna go around the block until,
and as we pass people mowing their lawns,
you say, hey, that's a nice mower you got there.
I like your streaks, you know?
And it's really that. it's a whole indulgent,
or not indulgent.
That's just a little snippet.
That's just the first semester.
That's just off the top of the dome, you know?
So Midwest Bootcamp, it's a great idea.
So this is like a week.
Oh no, God no.
We gotta take you through all four seasons.
That was the first three months of Midwest bootcamp.
Yeah.
Yeah, we got to take.
I'm thinking like a intensive, like you got five days.
You're going to be like, hey,
Classic Northwesterner just wanted to take the easy way out.
She clearly doesn't know about a Midwest goodbye.
We'll call it three days,
but you're not leaving for three years.
Have you ever heard of the hell week in the military?
We, we potentially make it really long to really weed out the people who aren't serious
about the Midwest.
Right, Charlie?
If you can't handle a four hour goodbye, I don't think you belong in Wapaka.
So you let us
Definitely cannot handle a four hour goodbye.
You let us well, then you might hate to say you might want to stay where you're at.
That's actually like in the class.
Charlie, that's me off from the Midwest.
What I turned you off.
That was that was a bluff.
You were supposed to call it.
You were supposed to say, well, by suppose I could say goodbye for four hours.
You know, you don't know you're saying goodbye for four hours.
You just think that the party is being extended.
Yeah. And then all of a sudden, four hours gone by.
It's not like a yeah.
Yeah. Time flies here.
Don't count the hours in the Midwest. Goodbye. Count the beers.
It's true. Got it. That's good.
Good to know. Yeah.
But we'd love to have you here. Don't get the wrong idea. Yeah, no, I would. I don't
know where I would start first. Well, hey, somewhere to really ease in. Flying to Milwaukee,
Charlie's got a killer jerky recipe he'd like you to try. We can just start there and go
from there. Come on over to my garage. Well that, wow, that sounds fun.
I know you've been doing your bow and arrow, so maybe you can try that out.
Yeah, yeah, you can.
How's that going by the way?
It's going all right.
I got a deer stand up, but I haven't had enough time to really get the reps in.
Certainly not with the recurve.
I'm good with the compound. The real answer is, is he's got some sheet rock work to do
in the old garage after shooting the bow and arrow. No, I don't, I don't have any. It's
just stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I also set it up in the basement too. I got a long enough
basement in the winter. I can get a good 15 pacer down there. So anyways, um, yeah, you come on over. We'll have some
fun. All right. Sounds good. Well, we appreciate calling in today. Your mother is a delight.
Tell her, tell your mother we says hi. We says hi and then watch for deer too. And squirrel.
Oh, I did just want to say, we did see one deer on the way home
to Seattle yesterday and it's we do not see them very often.
And it was very exciting for the two 30 something year olds in the front.
And the toddlers in the back were not so we will watch for deer.
That's cool. Was it bucked? Oh,
I have, you know, honestly, no idea. Did it have antlers?
It was like really? No. Then you saw a dough, a dough, a dough, a dough, a deer female deer,
me. Oh, well, thanks for doing this. It's so awesome. And again, like you guys are very
popular. You're kind of doing the Midwest It's so awesome. And again, like you guys are very popular.
You're kind of doing the Midwest goodbye right now. You're saying you can do a four hour
goodbye. You're not setting yourself up. You need someone to be pumping your tires. You
can definitely do a four hour goodbye. We'd love to see in the Midwest. Forget the boot
camp going. All right. Okay. Sounds good. You guys take care. All right. Talk soon now. Bye bye. Okay.
Okay. Sounds good. Bye.
I like, uh, how once we called her out on it, she was, the conversation was over.
She was like, I'm acting like them now. Yeah, it's, you know,
there's two things that happen, Charlie, when you take a walk with someone,
you and I walk down the road either
You adjust to my pace or I adjust to yours and let's just say she just
Absolutely did there's actually another thing that can happen. You can just
Stop walking with that person you ever been on walk with someone they just left. No, I have
I'm one of those guys that like walking
Bird how much bird talk was going on some bird talk. Yeah, there was some bird talk No, I have I'm one of those guys that like walk out of you cuz I have a bird
How much bird talk was going there was some bird talk. Yeah, there was some bird talk
Well, should we take another collar Charles miles so miles
Here's what I want to ask you who's fighting for you
I'd like to think that my parents will fight for me. They're not oh, okay They're not they're not gonna fight for you the way Nikolai laws
That is maybe true all right after you get injured
Okay, you got it. You know what to do you don't call your parents. No your parents are gonna be like
Oh, you broke your leg rub some dirt on it. Yes, that's true
Yeah, but Russell Nikolai over at Nikolai law is gonna be like hey
Let's get you some money for that broken leg. You know,
you put your leg on the line. You got your ass handed to you.
You got your favorites in your iPhone. Yeah. I got, and then my parents, one,
two, three, I'm gonna have to put Nicolay right at the top just in case I get
injured. What about me? You're you're, give me five. Give me five.
Yeah, that's easy.
But anyways, to your number three or your number one, whatever it is, Nicolay,
they've been around the block with these insurance companies. OK.
A lot of people say all of the lawyers, they just want money.
Not this lawyer. He goes after the guys with the money.
Yeah, you've heard Jenny from the block.
What about Russell from the block?
Russell from the block and he's all around the blocks.
He's got offices all over the Midwest miles,
North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and the best part, they don't win, you don't pay.
So what's the risk?
Perfect, my parents are paying,
like we're not getting any money out of my parents.
Right.
Yeah, that's actually good.
No risk, all reward.
Just check him out.
Nicolay Law, call 1-855-NICOLAY
or visit nicolaylaw.com.
They'll make sure that you get the compensation you deserve.
Charlie.
What?
What's your favorite type of weather?
My favorite type of weather?
I like, you know, I like a nice warm morning
with like a misty dew. you know, what would go perfect
with that?
What's that?
An ice cold glass of tippy cow.
Really?
You know, I actually once in a while, don't mind a little bit of sleet.
Hmm.
I didn't know you were asleep.
No, it's like, you know, once a year, I like a good sleet, good sleet.
And then after, you know, go driving around, slip
it and slide a little bit, I get to my destination and I say, God, all that sleet makes me, makes
me want to just tip back an ice cold glass of tippy cow sleet season here soon.
I've always thought that about sweet, you know, it gives you that temptation of what,
if I take a little bit of this sleet, put it in a glass and pour some tippy cow on top of it.
When I get to my destination,
I like to sleep my glass a little bit with tippy cow. It's gay. Yeah.
If it's sleeping out there, folks, put your glasses out. That's true. So guys,
rain, ice, sleet, sunshine,
tippy cow brings back sweet memories of summer. Oh,
but I do love summer. I do love summer and you know, as much as I love sleet, I also like summer and tippy cow brings
back sweet memories of summer. It's got a delicious lineup of ice cream inspired flavors.
We got the orange cream in front of us today. So guys,
no matter what the weather is, make sure you're tipping back a glass and throwing it back to brighter times. Wisconsin cows in your tippy cow. Holy shit. I got through. Holy shit. You did indeed.
What's your name? It's Mike. What's going on fellas? We're hanging Mike. What's your name? Mike, what's going on fellas?
We're hanging Mike.
What's up?
Where are you calling him from?
I'm calling him from Poland.
Holy.
Poland?
Are you from Poland?
How do you end up in Poland?
What's going on?
Are there churches always got their lights up?
What do you mean light?
Oh yeah, actually I can,
from right now I
could see our our 10th century Cathedral. Oh it's all lit up. Yeah my grandpa used
to pass if someone left their lights on their house like and they left the
lights on. I'd be like, how'd you leave the lights on for a house that's lit up like a
Polish church? And I never understood that so. Yeah, they're always lit up, trust me.
Okay, how'd you end up in Poland?
I was in the army and I got out and I'm a contractor over here.
Wow, is Russia coming for Poland next?
I don't know.
I don't know what they're doing.
I mean a whole bunch of shit there. They're everywhere
over here too. It's crazy. Russians are. Oh yeah. Yeah. I think Putin's got a real, a
hard on for Poland, but we'll see. Time will tell. Poland's like the Midwest, you know?
I'll say that it truly is. Okay. Well let us know what, what about Poland is like the Midwest. You know, I'll say that it truly is. Okay. Well, let us know what, what about Poland is like the Midwest?
Well, I'm not from the Midwest, but I've been out to the Midwest a lot.
Cornfield people are friendly. I mean, they don't, they've got the polar smiles.
It's kind of like a frown, but like they always try and talk to you about everything.
Sounds exactly right.
always try and talk to you about everything. Sounds about right.
Sounds exactly right.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, cornfields everywhere, farmland, churches, everyone over here is a Catholic.
Just all checking a lot of boxes, a lot of boxes.
Do they consume alcoholic beverages over there?
Yeah, an unhealthy amount.
I got wasted at a Polish wedding.
I went to two.
I had to get carried out of the second one.
What did?
Grew up in the Uber, everything.
What is wrong?
You should never be the drunkest person at a wedding.
You wanna be the 25th drunkest person at the wedding.
That's the sweet spot.
They kept on feeding me drinks,
like, oh, there's an American here.
You know, let's just, let's just get them hammered. No, no, no.
That's their, that's their opinion of us is that we just drink all the time.
What else makes it like the Midwest? What is the drink of choice in Poland?
What are they mostly consuming?
It's just vodka, vodka and beer. No no bush light. Sounds like Midwest College is what
it sounds like. Do they have Fleishman's vodka over there? No they got a vodka with like
a blade of grass in it though. Oh that's kind of cool I'd like to try that. Yeah it's almost
that's that's like their version of like the scorpion with the tequila. Yeah. Do there there
other men? Are there other Midwest similarities? Like is
weed not legal there? So people have to like drive down to
Slovakia or something to pick it up?
Yeah, not one of the guys that the base got five years and
smoking weed was big. You got five years. Hold on. I gotta let you guys know. Charlie just tried to sound really
smart by knowing geography. And then I look at his phone and he's got a map of where Poland
is pulled up. And so that's the only reason why he was able to say down
in Slovakia. No, Charlie's like, Oh yeah. Well you guys ever head up Norton into Lithuania
or no, that's another sports place. But Slovakia, you know, those people, they're not a fan
of like Americans at all.
No, why not?
What do we do to Slovakia?
Now that I, I can send a photo, but I got, when I was on like a mission one time years
ago, they had like billboards that said Yankee go home.
Oh, all right.
Well, I guess I'm gonna have to cancel
my summer plans in Slovakia, which is a kick to the nuts. I'm going to see if I can get
a refund on those credit card miles, but I don't know if that's going to happen. You
guys really aren't missing much. Not going there. Trust me. Poland is where it's at.
Poland. So what else is like the Midwest there? Potholes.
I don't know what it is.
They don't want they want no plan.
They don't plow.
No plowing.
Like they don't plow the road.
What do you do?
Do you just not drive anywhere?
That's like up north kind of.
I got into an accident because they didn't plow the road.
That was his company
car got totaled. Now, is that even true? Or did they plow the roads? You were just going
a little too fast for the conditions and you're like, I swear they didn't plow the roads.
And now you're just doubling down on that story. No, a hundred percent. They didn't
plow. They ran out of money for the city. I live in to like have a fun plow. Well, why don't you guys do gambling and raise money for snowplows?
That's what we would do in the Midwest. I
Don't know there. You know their conversion rates not the best, but it's kind to us
Oh, yeah, like a whole bunch of things
Now they got a whole bunch of things going on
I don't know but the reason I'm calling in today's fellas to this late over here. We got a whole bunch of things going on. I don't know. But the reason I'm calling in today, fellas, is because it's late over here.
We got a musky tank idea.
Oh, yeah.
OK, well why don't you step into the musky tank?
How's the sound?
Doot, doot, doot, doot.
And before you step in, do they have any muskies over there
in any of the lakes?
You know, like in Lake...
Or in the Baltic Sea? They got any sea muskies?
Sea muskies.
Yeah, or...
You know what? Honestly, I think they...
There's like a lake by me.
I think they got like baths and then there's...
Oh, really?
And where are you again?
Just a city real quick. Are you in Krakow or?
reclawed
The W sound like these over there. Are you in Varsov?
That it does worse
Swab crackles, oh crack. No, I'm gonna see
Yeah, let me guess you're in chest
And you again trial you're just these are off the dome you just know Poland right off the dome I was a geography man
Yeah, you know Poland if any I people say that all that Charlie Barons. He knows Poland. Mm-hmm Baltic Sea sea muskies
Not even Polish.
I can screw in a light bulb all by myself.
So what, yeah, what town are you in real quick, sorry?
No, you're fine.
I'm in Gniezno.
Oh yeah, yeah, right over there.
That's over by Plock.
Yeah, yeah.
So what is- Charlie, where's that on the hand?
Oh, well, you know, actually,
the thing about Poland, it's pretty much like an Ohio.
It kinda is, yeah.
It looks a lot like Ohio.
And is it fair to say that Poland
is the Ohio of Eastern Europe?
Not really, kind of like the Florida, if anything.
Oh, and also the Midwest, interesting. Well, why don't you tell them?
What do you got for the muskie tank?
Yeah. What's on your mind?
You guys know the whole staples that was easy buttons?
Wait, I missed that. What?
Easy button with staples.
Easy button with staples?
Remember that? The commercials where they just hit the easy button and it Easy button with staples. Easy button with staples? Remember that? The commercials where they just hit
the easy button and it's easy at staples.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well that, but for your guys is like catchphrases
or whatever the hell you guys are saying these days.
Oh, like a watch out for deer button?
Oh yeah.
Oh, that's not a bad idea.
Tell your folks that says hi button. Yeah, an oat button. Oh yeah. Oh, that's not a bad idea. Yeah. Tell your folks. I says hi button.
Yeah. An old button. You know, the old button is what it needs to be. Maybe that's like
a fun, like kids toy thing where they've got all these buttons and that's how the kids
can communicate with their parents. My kids got this thing he lays in and it's got like
a little, like, I don't know, a canopy over it. That's
got like shit hanging down. And then at his feet, I thought it was a canopy and not a
can of shit. Oh God. I'm so funny. They were laughing all the way in a roll claw at that
one. She's, have you, what's that? Have you been here before?
I've been there, dude.
I know all about pulling.
I've been to Gorka, will a Polsky,
Poznan, done it all.
Have you ever been to Zlona Gora?
I mean, I'm telling you, beautiful this time of year.
Anyways, I do like that.
Let me finish.
Sorry, Miles. So he's got this piano thing at his feet and he just you look at him
He just starts going fucking nuts. He just starts kicking it and it plays the piano
So one my kids could be the next Beethoven to say that but it makes animal noises and does songs and stuff
But we just make one of those for kids that just say oh or tell or tell your folks. I says, I, when they hit the different keys on the piano, Charlie,
I like it. I like it. I'm loving this idea. Keep going. Do you have more to add to it?
Or is that the simple and beautiful? No, that's just it. Short and simple.
I like it. What kind of cut are you looking for on this?
I like it. What kind of cut are you looking for on this? You know what? Honestly, I'll do 10%. You know, I'm super simple, you know, all right,
we're going to do five. What do you think of five? We'll go 20. We'll go 20 and you
will go and you can throw in disabled veteran idea. I suppose. yeah, that's actually. Oh, there you go.
Yep, hey, 1% goes back to disabled veterans.
There we go.
We got an extra. Yep, there we go.
We got an extra marketing point.
Nice.
Are you a veteran, I would assume?
Oh yeah.
Well, thank you for your service.
Oh yeah, you said that off the top.
Yeah. I listen.
I listen, sorry, I was just getting so excited. Map was
getting so excited about it. Okay.
To you know, I forget all the time.
Yeah, well, that's that's a solid idea. I like it. Why don't
we write up a business plan and circle back on this in in the
next week? Last email'll circle back. Yeah.
Oh, OK.
And then one last thing quickly, fellas,
I'm trying to figure out when I should come on back home to the stage.
I don't know.
Do you want to or is it like your family wants you to or what?
I mean, I kind of want to and the family wants me to,
but, you know, it's just like hard.
I get housing paid for, I get food paid for,
car paid for, I don't.
Yeah, no, I mean, that's a lot of benefits.
I would keep an eye on the headlines
and as soon as Putin gets past
Vin-tee-sha-be-he-ra,
I would start thinking about coming back to the US
because that bastard is crazy as hell.
He should be dead by now, he's not.
But if he starts getting past there, Poland is next.
It's coming for NATO.
Wait, he's to get past where?
Putin's got to get past Vinti's.
But here and certainly if he gets to the Vive Nabeib,
you're definitely going to want to get that.
That's a border town. So anyways,
just keep your eyes up and make sure you know a guy who knows a thing or two
about geography
That's really it is you got to get out there if anything happens so keep an eye on it
Yeah, say that again back one way or
Gonna get called back in one way or another the army's gonna want you back. Oh, that's true
What am I even thinking? I thought you were did I miss it? You said you were
disabled
Veteran do you not get a day? Yeah, you know that no no they can still call you back if you're like only a certain amount
And how about how much are you disabled like 30% oh yeah that's
not bad you know well you can run a computer or something right for a drone
some sort just kicking my ass so you got bone spurs I hear you can evade the invade the military that way. No, they'll take me back. Trust me. They, they want, they
use that. Well, we appreciate calling in today, man. Um, fun to talk to you and pulling. I,
I learned something new that Charlie's little bit of a pole head himself and uh, uh, thanks
for calling in and maybe we'll see you back in the state someday.
All right, gentlemen, you guys enjoy your day.
All right, you too.

Thanks for staying up to chat with us.
We appreciate you.
Oh, yeah, of course.

All right, you too now.
Bye bye.
Well, Charlie, I think that's another good episode of the Belly up podcast.
Wrapped for the deal, Miles. This was a lot of fun. I hope you're enjoying those tots
I am you were chewing them into the microphone. I
You weren't trying that hard
We're trying that hard. Well, you can hear it again
You were too busy looking at the fucking map of Poland. I mean I wasn't looking what map what are you talking about?
