Episode Date: December 11, 2025

We're at KwikStar in Fargo, ND. First time ever Bellied Up at a gas station. Our first caller (22:31) is from Long Island and tells us about his crazy boss—and how he’s 50/50 on getting married. We try to help him out. Our next caller (01:00:36) is a concerned father who isn’t too sure about his daughter’s fiancé. https://prizepicks.onelink.me/ivHR/be...⁠⁠⁠⁠use promo code: belliedup

Hi, guys. How's it going? Welcome back. I'm Charlie. And I'm Barley. No, you're not Barley, Miles. You're Miles. Don't Barley Charrans this situation. Miles made a video where he made fun of me, call himself Barley Charrants, except the joke was on him because I wasn't offended at all.

I thought it was nice to be honored. So. Charlie is the worst person to start a beef with because it will always be a one-sided beef. I'm more of a pork guy. You know, Miles. You were locked and loaded. this morning. I'm locked, loaded, ready to roll, baby. Yeah, you can't start

beef with me if I don't care enough about it. And it's not that I didn't even care about this. I just didn't understand it was beef. I literally thought it was pork. I thought it was fluff. I thought it was fun. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah. And that was we had a different line written for that, and we didn't

like it, so then we improvised and changed it to the barley chair. So that was in the moment. What was the line you didn't like? I don't remember now, honestly. Oh, I see. It was a different character altogether. No, it was still going to be you. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's fine. Was it, was it, did you go below the belt with it? No, no, no, no. It was going to be fine. Okay. You didn't get into any past relationships I might have had.

No, God, no. Actually, no, I would have crossed my mind. I've moved past that phase of my life chart. Really? Yeah. When was the last time I brought up your divorce? The live podcast? Yeah. And how long ago was that? It was months ago. yeah but i've only seen you twice since then you know trust mouse you got to build trust so even though i change i just haven't changed for long enough and that's not good enough for you you know what um no first of all it's not good enough for me there's just something about a live crowd that just brings out you just get naughty the worst things about you you get naughty you just brings out the worst things about you in me. Every time we've had a live crowd, you've gone right for the divorce and not. It always plays. It always plays. You know, they say like play the hits. Yeah. You know?

No, it's true. And look, hey, what anything for a laugh. Miles, you know me as a comedian. It doesn't matter what you have to do for the laugh as long as you get the laugh. Yeah. And you did. So here we are at today, Charlie. It's so nice of you to ask that, Miles, we're in the quick star. So this is, it feels kind of good is two Midwestern guys to be doing a podcast at a gas station. Dude, not only are we doing a podcast at a gas station, we're breaking in this quick start in Fargo, North Dakota. Yeah. It's like when there's a new ship and they take the champagne bottle and smash it against

the hole. Yeah. We're basically doing that with this podcast. Let's get a tall boy and do that. You think they'll let us. They're not listening. Chris, can we do that? He's, we got two thumbs up.

All right. With shotgun a tall boy. That's actually a good idea. we should do that. All right. You got a rope. You got a couple of silos for us. But yeah, it's kind of cool.

So the quick star, this is the first quick star in North Dakota. So just like everything in life, North Dakota is always the last to get it. And it doesn't change with gas stations. Yeah, you kind of. You know, it's like fashion trends. We are just starting to wear Janko jeans here in North Dakota. That's how long it takes trends. to get here but we're here 25 years oh yeah 25 years you guys are doing how long as quick trip

and quick star been in wisconsin 50 60 years i don't even know took us that long to get a quick star well the thing about janko jeans is they're in style now again aren't they yes so that it's like it actually works out is actually we are in style you guys are in style because we're so late to the party yeah like when you guys weren't wearing bell bottoms for the first time in the late 890s, that was also like clutch. Wow, you're in. You went Britney Spears. Yes. Good for you. But yeah, kind of cool.

They're not even open yet, actually, Charlie. I know. We're seeing how the sausage is made here. It feels open, though, because there's so many people in here getting it ready. By the time this podcast comes out, they will be open. But, yeah. Miles, did you know that Quick Trip sells flowers or Quick Star? Quick Star. Yeah. Gosh, darn it.

You know, it's going to be a hard thing for me to, the quick trip versus quick star in my travels around doing the, the touring stuff, it's always, you cross a line and almost you go into another dimension where it's just quick stars, you know, and here we are at the quick star. So it takes me a little bit to remember. But point is, what I was asking, you ever buy flowers for Ann at the Quickstar? I have not yet. But I might have to now. I see they're putting up. And don't you guys dare try stealing the ATM here because they just drilled that sucker to the wall.

Yeah, we had to delay the start of this podcast because there was a lot of drilling and bolting to the ground. Yeah, you're going to have to take the whole damn wall. If you want to cut to four months from now news report, wall missing at local Quickstar in Fargo, North Dakota. Yeah, wait, now we're telling them how. Yeah, if you're going to steal ATM, you got at least bring a drill with a ratchet on it.

Yeah, Miles, it's an apocalypse. What is, what, what are you, you can take two items from the gas station? Also, uh, great question, Charlie. Very funny that you assume in an apocalypse, I'm going to be like, hey, I'm going to loot the quick star, but I'm only going to take two items. This is an apocalypse, Charlie. I'm saying you got to move quick. World is ending.

dude you go to the quick star you take two items and you're like do you guys take apple pay see you know what instead of just running up the door this is why you're never going to make it in an apocalypse miles because you're too busy thinking about the question and not busy enough coming up with the solution okay yeah i mean i'm just two items what do you take um i'm i mean energy drink and and some hot food you're done you're toast dude are you kidding me are you kidding what would you pick an energy drink you're going to crash in an hour which one are you going to get i'll get a white monster okay two hours yeah maybe two and a half honestly and then but you're also you're you're you're now you're now um because it's like essentially my last meal you know yeah because i you know i'll make it longer

than most people you know like little children probably have a less a chance of making the apocalypse than me but other than that you know no dude kids have the best chance. Yeah. Kids are nimble. They're quick. They learn. They can adapt.

Hide in small places. Their bones are flexible, man. They got a leg up, you know? So you're saying, I'm going first. You're not, so you're like, oh, how are you going to survive? When in reality, I'm smart because I just picked my last meal and I'm going to go out feeling great. Well, no, that's true.

And I will give you props on that. I wasn't sure that's what you were doing. I just, I feel like you should get a tall boy then, get yourself. you know a tall boy as opposed to being like hopped up yeah like I'd be too like amped you know I'd be like when's it happened when's it happening if I got one of those monster white lightning things but anyway here's the thing is like you're also like now picking apart my answer to a question I didn't even want to answer because it's just you don't get to pick the questions that can ask you on this podcast it's just kind of dumb because if it's an apocalypse situation I am stalking

up with everything I need So what would, oh, all right, Barley, what would you pick? Jeez, thank you. I mean, how many hints did I have to get? Tire gauge and thumps. And I'd get the tire gauge because you want to make sure that you don't want to overload your tires in an apocalypse. That'll be everyone's first mistake thinking, I got to put air in now. Yeah.

I better get some more air. Boom. Apocalypse happens. The aliens are here. And I'm like, I need to fill up my tires. that's the first thing I'm going to do well electricity is going going gone and so anytime you get a chance to use the electricity you're going to try to like get as much bang for your buck but you might get too much of a bang if you overfill your tires this happens all the time especially given the temperature if if it's cold and you thums you won't have any food so what do you need the tums for tums are tasty Tom's are tasty and I'll be eating

only Tom's diet then you'll never get a tummy ache because I'm not no I'm not saying only tombs are you kidding me I'm gonna be eating all kinds of weird shit out there miles pine needles rabbits

squirrels whatever I'm gonna need some tom that's that's a good argument little aperitif a little dessert yeah you know voles and mice and all that yeah you say I'm gonna eat the weird parts too you think my stomach's going to handle that?

No, I'm going to have to have some tumps to bridge that gap. Ease me into the apocalypse. Radioactive turkey, you ever had one? That's the difference between me and you. You're a dip your big toe into the apocalypse and I'm a cannonball right in. Let's get after it. You know? Camble right in, Miles.

You just said you were buying your last meal because you're going to die soon. Okay. I mean, if aliens have the technology to show up to Earth and raid us and start an apocalypse, We have no shot. They will kill us all. I'm not saying it's going to be aliens, Miles. We don't know who's going to start the apocalypse. Apocalypse could be a asteroid hitting the earth.

Sure. We're done. Which is a cataclysmic event that would rapidly melt the ice caps and we'd be all underwater anyways. If we melt all the ice caps were underwater? Yeah, pretty. Maybe in Fargo we're all right. But like.

Sight, now you're starting to think more seriously about this question, aren't you? you could have a fight and chance monster and a yeah then i just got to head to bismarck and go to the the capital building which is on a hill that's my best shot he's got a head west i i heard that you guys have mountains here they're hills they're black hills i heard it's a full on mountain no that's what i heard hills there i heard in the north northwest corner there's some yeah we might get a sliver but there's no way we can claim it no way you sure you don't want to call if that's that we're in Wisconsin, I'd be claiming it. I know that's because you guys are always bragging about stuff.

Yeah. That's what you do. Oh, maybe we just have stuff to brag about, dude. Lo, what? Sheboygan. We got a, yeah, Sheboygan. What, Wisconsin Dells? Yeah, Wisconsin Dells.

It's got a great. We have interpretive centers, so. Yeah. Okay, we have a great thing. Actually, that's the place to go in an apocalypse because no one knows where the interpretive centers are. head straight to him. You know, that's actually my fallout shelter is going to be the interpretive centers. Because Jared, where's the interpretive center? What's the closest one to

hear? Exactly. So if someone's like, I think Miles headed for the interpretive center and be like, well, he's gone. We'll never see him again. I like it. I like it. That's the problem. We need to bring a more awareness to these interpretive centers because we don't need us North Dakota's don't even know where they are. Can you tell you to have to go to one? I, I, the interpretive centers we've talked about them so much on this podcast i still know what it is it's a place where you go interpret things right see that's why i still don't know what this is because i never get a straight answer on him yeah it would be nice one of these podcasts for you just tell me what we could just do a podcast from interpretive center we're doing them anywhere now we're at yeah i mean yeah

next thing we're going to be my parents basement doing this thing where is the what do we stop Oh, man. Have you ever thought about, like, if you had to move back to your parents' basement? Have I thought about that? No. I'll move in with you before I do that. What would you rather have it happen? You move back in your parents' basement or there'd be an apocalypse? I move back into my parents' basement. Okay. Just curious how opposed to that you were. I mean, pretty much everything other than, like, my family dying. Like, if it's like, oh, your family, dying or an apocalypse. I'll choose the apocalypse.

Some people... But basically anything other than that, I'm going to choose the other thing other than an apocalypse. I mean, I get it. Because at least in apocalypse, we have at least a fighting chance. Right, right, right. Well, that's why I ask, I ask to figure that answer out. Because some people have other feelings about the apocalypse. Some people are like, I want this apocalypse, you know, because they view themselves as like the main character and like a Will Smith movie, you know? They think they're going to, like, it's the ultimate video game. I mean, I don't know who those people are by imagine they're out there. All right, guys, time for me and Charlie to play to play prize picks this week.

Okay. Fucking go. it's a cool side man it's cool at the new quickstar you guys you can come here you can have your this is a nice table too they have and technically we are still bellied up we are still bellied up to this bar so and it's a snack bar actually it is a snack bar this is the place though miles like um you go you go to certain spots certain spots across the midwest in the mornings at 5.30, 6 o'clock, you got the meeting of the older gentleman. Just a bunch of old men sitting around drinking coffee talking about their days.

Some in bibs, some in business attire, but every day, sometimes just Thursdays. But that's what this table will be. Now, these chairs are a little high for that, though. Usually they like to get them lower so they can, you know, steps to live. here for them. Yeah. But anyways, it's nice. It's nice to know we're christening it. Have you been thinking a lot about the apocalypse? What's going on? Oh, no. I just came to me. I don't know why. Do you think we're going to have an apocalypse because of robots or because an asteroid's going to hit us? What's more likely in your mind? I really don't know. I couldn't tell you.

I mean, also I wouldn't trust what comes out of my mind. Can you just answer the question? Just pick one. Oh, now you want me to just answer the question. You see how it feels? I did answer the question. Do you see how feels to just not answer the question? Just pick apart the question. What is stupid question? If you had to choose an apocalyptic behavior thing,

would it be an asteroid hitting or robots? I'd say there's only one right. I'd say mathematically speaking robots. Yeah. Yeah. So all of a sudden, your doomsday shit, you've been preaching all over the internet doesn't look as bad because we could be hit by an asteroid.

Yeah, we could hit by an asteroid mouse. I mean, a volcano could go up there. So many ways we could go. I'm not saying the, I'm just saying we don't need to create another way. We got plenty of ways that could just happen naturally. Yeah. You know, so anyways. Yeah, I see what you're saying.

Yeah. Let's not shoot ourselves in the first. Right. Yeah. Yeah. We got a gun. We could point it at the asteroid or we could point it at our head. We're doing the ladder.

So you can use the technology to help or, just to be like, let it do what it wants to do. Would you trade potentially dying for having a robot that can fold your laundry? I mean, come on, dude. What a fucking waste of resources. Got a bunch of children out there mining lithium and cobalt for that bullshit. A bunch of idiots we got, you know, running this world. I mean, at least if you're going to have child labor, at least have them to be doing shoes again, you know.

Right. Let's be sewing Nikes together. bring it back to our roots. We don't need them back in the mines, even though the children yearn for the mines, since Minecraft is the number one video game. But let's get them back in the sweatshops, get them out of the coal bolt mines.

Do you know what Roblox is? Yeah, I think so. Okay. It's one of those words. You know when someone says yellow beetle and you all of a sudden see a bunch of yellow beetles on the road? Yeah. Someone told me about Roblox the other day,

and all I hear now is about Roblox. And I don't really know what it is, to be honest. Is it a video game? It's some kind of video game. It's got to be similar to Minecraft then, building stuff. It sounds like a building type of situation. Yeah. Anyways.

What were you talking about child labor? I was saying, yeah, it's like, in the good old days, the child labor was happening in a, in a nice factory, sewing Nike shoes together. and now we got them in the mind so that we can have batteries for yeah for self-driving cars and robots and you know and we're all we're all hypocrites look there's a phone there's a camera you know we're all walking contradictions you know it's a way of the world miles it's away the world but you know what knowledge is the first step so thank you for informing us on that yeah yeah for sure

i like the beard today by the way you did good job thanks thanks very much yeah it's really like grew it myself no i know but the trim is nice you know like sometimes you get some straggly ones thanks yeah jared you got to borrow miles his thing although yours is nice and full and thick you got to grow it out and then yeah i don't i don't touch it for like three months that'll shave it all you shave it all well you're missing the shaping part dude i don't you could have a i mean he's married already what is yeah i suppose you got to impress i suppose the problem with shaping it is then you start thinking about a lot and a lot of energy goes into shape and a beard. You look good, Jared.

You know. I mean, I've been doing this since like the seventh grades. Oh, he's been doing it since the seventh grade. Okay. All right. I know you newfound beard guys. Yeah. I think it's a lot of work, but you just get into a routine.

When did you? I've been doing it for, you know, 20 years. When did you pop your first hair that you didn't know grew there? Miles? Yeah. Maybe middle school at some point. When do you have the full beard for the first time? Probably like full, full beer, probably like sophomore year of high school.

Oh, really? Sophomore year of high school. Wow. Okay. That French in you. Yeah. Ha, ha. I didn't know French were that hairy.

Oh, yeah. Are there? I don't know. I'm from North Dakota. Okay. Never been to France. Something else in there. Yeah.

You know? All right. Well, cool. Should we take some callers? Let's do it. All right. What's up, gentlemen? What's up, dude?

How you doing, Charlie, Miles? Where's Jared? Get him on the phone. Hey, Matthew. Can you say Jared again? I like how you say Jared. Jared. Yeah.

Matthew, where are you from? Long Island, New York, baby. Okay. I just was in New York. You were, huh? Yeah. I was going to go. I was in Manhattan, though.

Oh, that's terrible. I feel bad for you. Yeah, I was there for three days. I was ready to come home. what were you doing over there just hanging out with some friends we ended up going to a Jets game which was a complete disappointment

yeah I would probably committed suicide if I was there yeah terrible terrible so are you a Jets fan or you a Giants guy

you know I'd love to be one of those but they both suck so I'm kind of rooting for the bills Okay. Oh, you're Bill's guy. Okay. Bill's, you know, they've got, it's a good, have you been to a lot of Bill's games?

I've been to one of them. Bill's fans are built a little different, you know? Oh, yeah, they are. Yeah. What's up with you guys? Hey, man. You know, we have pride in our team, even though, even though they're kind of good, but they kind of suck. We have pride.

And we, you know, we come from New York, a whole bunch of drugs over there. That's just, they're all high on fucking everything. Really? See, everything. What I love, obviously, I'm a Packers fan. And I love the idea that, you know, the community comes together to shovel that thing out when you get snow. And you guys got the same thing going on over there. Oh, yeah, we do.

Yeah. And then you, where did the table jumping thing come from? I think that's a college thing that was kind of brought up brought up from those frat houses and that's how that kind of got there. Okay. So it was like started in the minor leagues and got called up to the big ones. Oh, yeah. There you go, Miles.

That's perfect. Yeah. Packers, uh, five in five and what, five and two, five in one, one, one. Five three one. Yeah, we're the beginning of a freaking phone number right now. It's embarrassing. Yeah. Yeah, not too bad.

We'll see if they make it this year. I don't know. Last time they made it, it's what. Don't just do that. Don't do that. You know what? I'll say this. I'll say this.

We are on our way up. We're on our way up. And you want to be, by the time this podcast comes out, it's going to be like two, three weeks from now. We're going to be the top of the EMC North. The Bears are going to be the bottom of the AMC North. I guarantee you that flip's going to happen. A tide is turning, okay?

Yeah. Jeff's going to be right there with you. All right. All right, Matthew. All right. Matthew, belly on up to the bar with us. What brings you in today? So,

voicemail, I think was a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to talk about how crazy my old boss was. And I think the other thing was, oh, yeah, if I should marry, that's my girlfriend and out of four years coming up. Oh, wow. This is, all right. We've, first question,

was your old boss, were you in waste management? I mean, no, it's, we were in, it's an aggregate company. So it's, we make, we crush rock. You're in the concrete business then. Yeah, you could say that, yeah. Okay. What are you crushing the rock for? Is it for concrete?

Is it for asphalt? Is it for buildings? So, you know, when you, when you pave with asphalt and then under the asphalt, is the road grade stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's called RCA. I'm sure you guys are familiar with it. That's what we crushed over there.

That's great, man. So just building America's roadways right there. Exactly. That's exactly how I put it. Every time someone asks what I did, I said, oh, I'm building America. You just cut out roadways. You just say, because you're right, you can't build America without the roads. I mean, you cannot.

You could, but you get stuck in a lot of mud. Yeah, that wouldn't be fun. No, hell no. All right. So what about your boss over there, though? A little bit of a wild motherfucker. Sorry for the language. You do you.

He's crazy. So he's just one of those psychopath guys. Doesn't know how to run business. Doesn't know how to run anything, actually. He's a great guy outside of work. And he get into work. He's just a wild man. Comes in there, screams and yells like we're in high school.

He actually once told me he tried taking my phone for me. And I actually said this is in high school, buddy. You can't fucking do that. He tried taking my phone for me and he just treated us like we're all high school. And it's crazy because this is a construction business of all growing men operating hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of equipment. Yeah, you guys are going to win that argument. Oh, yeah, yeah, all day. Why did he try taking your phone from you?

I think maybe I was on taking a phone call or something I don't matter I mean there's just there's Bluetooth in the cab on his phone during work no I I got I just wanted to see if he was doing it like trying to take a picture of him doing some you know yeah yeah there's Bluetooth in the cab so you know I was I don't know what he was thinking but he probably he's a drunk real bad drunk oh he is a drunk Like he's coming to work drunk? Oh, yeah. Oh, man, dude.

Oh, yeah. Drives around in his beautiful RAM, 2,500, thinking that he's all at, which he is. But in my eyes, he's not. How do you get the job? Did I get the job? How did he get the job?

How did he get the job? So it's a partner of a really big company down here called DeSilco. And they branched off and made two companies out of that. one of them was the one I worked at and the other one was another one just like it and he worked for Pacifico which then he got told oh you're going to manage this company now good luck got it okay so they just shelved them to the side yeah and they know it the big bosses know that that he sucks real bad well is he can't do anything about it why I mean is he like related

is it sounds like a succession situation it's just he's been he's been with that company for so long that he knows too much that's it yeah and when i asked if you were in waste management i think that the concrete business and the rock crushing business ain't too much different over there in long island no it's not different at all he really he really doesn't know anything though i mean he he he says that he does he's been in the business for 40 years sometimes he knows what he's doing but most of the time he's telling us to do stupid stuff it doesn't matter what he knows about the job he knows other stuff and that's why he still got a job there you go you got that on point what do you want to do about him what do i want to do about him yeah what's your game

plan to deal with this you want to just complain about them or should we come up with uh something to do about the situation well and i've watched enough tv shows charlie that someone's got to make a move mm-hmm there needs to be a coup of some sort yeah you know and you better start planning that. Yeah, that's, well, that's what we're doing right here on this podcast. All right. What's step one, you think, Matthew? What's step one of, of planning a coup? Go down to Manhattan and get the mafia involved. Okay. Well, that's actually all the stops right there. I like that. You just cut straight to the chase. Right to the chase. I mean, we were going to build up to that, but yeah, let's go right for it. You got any connections there? Yeah, I have a whole bunch of connections,

but I actually left that place. I actually, I kind of, uh, effed him. You know, I, I,

I said that, uh, I had military training. You fucked your old boss. Oh, here we go, Miles. Here we go.

Holy shit. That took a turn. I did not think that was going this way. So this is your ex-boyfriend then. That's why I'm thinking about you marry this girl. I know yet. Lock her in. now, dude. Lock her in now.

You can never leave after that. So how'd you screw them over? So I had military training that I had to attend to. It was kind of a choice, but it wasn't a choice. I was like, yeah, yeah, sure, I'll go because I wanted to get out of there for three weeks. So I was looking for another job

before I got told I had to go to the training and I found one. And I texted these guys. I was like, oh, yeah, let's do it. And he was like, all right, you can start tomorrow. I was like, well, I can't do that. but I can put in my two weeks and then come to you after that. So, yeah, all good and fine.

And I tell him, I'm like, I'm like, all right, well, I got, I got something to tell you. He's like, all right, let's either you want to raise or you're going to put you two weeks. I'm like, how much you offer him? He's like, a dollar raise. I'm like, yeah, okay. So I'm like, hey, I'm putting my two weeks in, but I'm not going to be there. So he's just quitting on the spot. No, no.

But I put my two weeks in. but basically I was just quitting on the spot but I did the right thing in my eyes I did the correct thing it sounds like you don't truly believe you did the right thing because you keep telling us that you did the right thing oh I did the right thing miles he's not your boss anymore

you put your two minutes in is what you put in you did not put your two weeks I did tell him at the end of the day as well it was hilarious so you so you're not there anymore no I'm at this new place this is an asphalt plant now I make black old all day.

There you go. All right. You truly are married to the road game, aren't you? Yeah, but I am thinking about a leader in this place. I got another job off for last night, actually. Really? We're at. So they need an equipment operator for site work.

Look at that, dude. You're just playing the game. No one's going to be like, no, you're not, you're not that injured.

Yeah, I walked up to him. I walked up to him. I was like, dude, I got to go to the VA. I think he thinks he has PTSD or something. I said it's so bad. I was like, I got to go to the VA, man. He's like, you're all right? I'm like, yeah, yeah.

Nope. I haven't gone anywhere yet. But if I leave this place, thinking I'm going to tell this boss, I'm going to Syria. All right. Just the web of lies that's building and building. I like it.

Yeah. And you guys up at some point. You got mafia connections too, you said? A last name is pretty Italian. So I would like to think so. Nice. Okay.

We're at the gas station. Miles is at the gas station you used to stop it every day before concrete. This is not because this is brand new. This is we're at a brand new quick star.

Lady Let's talk to you about your girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Tell us about her. What's, what's the plan? You don't, you're on the fence of proposing or what? So I've been with her for four years. She's, uh, she's a good gal. She, uh, you know, she lost her dad a couple years ago. I was there for that. So she's, she's been with me for four years. I've been with her. And, um, she lives in the house with her mother. Mother's actually trying to move out. So they want, she wants to sell the house to me and her, which is insane at Long Island because houses now are $900,000 here.

Yeah. So she's, she's good. She's going into nursing now. So she's got a long career ahead of her. But, you know, most girl attitude problems and stuff like that. I'm just trying to figure out if she's, if she's the same as every other girl or she's a little extra. Oh, well, okay.

All right. Here we go. Yeah. Give us. This is a fun game. Is his girlfriend being a little bit of a B-I-T-C-H or is she just, you know, a normal girlfriend? This is a good game. All right.

Lay out some stuff that she's done and we'll be the judge. Well, I think the normal things is driving down the road and she won't shut up if I'm driving. She's just talking to you, man. Yeah. No, no, no. Not talking, man. Matthew, I got news for you. This whole phone call, man, you've been going.

You've been going. Yeah, I kind of feel a little. bit like maybe you feel yeah you know you're you're in in it you know you're you're you're a talker dude and I think you need that this is a podcast yeah that's great because this is a podcast yeah yeah miles I got that from you dude I know he says that once every other podcast yeah every day oh all right all right then you're not talking Tyler because this is a podcast yesterday, actually. A guy was like, I'm not good at telling stories. And we're like, well, that sucks

because this is a podcast. Yeah, that's the best. I love that. So she talks too much on the car, in the car? Is she talking to you or at you? No, like at me, like telling me how to drive and that's a car there. Like, yeah, no shit.

Yeah, I think I put that in the category of that's just how life is. I don't think that she's different in that sense. That's standard. And let me ask you this. Have you ever given her reason to doubt your driving? You ever hit a mirror of a parked car backed into another car? No, so I drive a big truck with a double 5% tints all the way around. So you can't see a single thing out of that truck. Smart. Smart.

Yeah. Considering that when you're driving visibility is kind of the most important thing. So I think she's a little scared to go in my truck at times, but sometimes you take her little car, a little Tucson, and she's just, you know, same. I guess that's all normal. Girls do normal stuff like that. Just scream at you and tell you there's a car in front of. Yeah, there's a lot of, yeah, even though that you're not about to get into a crash or they tell you to slow down.

Yeah, they try to tell you to slow down, even though you have a thousand feet before you're going to hit the car in front of you. Exactly. Okay. So that's normal. Yeah. All right. Another thing.

She doesn't like any single one of my friends. Oh. Yeah. Problem. Well, tell us about your friends. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

A couple of them are losers. I get that. I only have like four friends. Okay. So you're 50% losers. All right. Yeah. So two of them are brothers.

And I get why she's. He doesn't like him. That's fine. Whatever. And then the other one, his name, his name is Chris. Cool guy. Nothing wrong with him. He's a blue collar guy just like me. And he, he's got a girlfriend. And I try to get them to hang out with each other. I try to go on double dates. And it never works out. She doesn't say why. She's just, she's like, I don't want to do it. And the other girl, the other girl, he tells me that she's the same way. And I don't know if it's just because they went to high school together. And I don't know what happened in high school. but like we're way out of that you know drop it yeah she doesn't give you any reason does she know who the girl is his girlfriend yeah they i believe they went to high school together oh they did actually go to high school oh so they someone was mean to yeah we got a mean girl situation on her hands yeah you can't sit with us you know yeah one of them is a little butt hurt so i'm trying to get over that factor so you know we can have a social life instead of sitting in my room and watching anything yeah well here here's a deal i mean you you got kind of a

small pool of examples here of your friends that she unlike because you got four so i got another one okay and she don't like him either no why not she says that if i like ever do something good she's like oh he doesn't he doesn't like bring you up and like believe in you oh my god you know guys don't really okay you have a hell about that she thinks that my wife wouldn't like any of my friends that yeah yeah but no he's not like that though it's just how you know how guys work she just thinks that everything he says to me is me and I'm like I'm not I don't really have feelings so it doesn't really matter yeah okay I mean there's a difference between razzing and not let you know he's just he's busting your balls

you know no she hates him though do you like him though do you like any of of her friends? Yeah, yeah. She has, she has one friend. She has one friend. Is that her mom? Well, that's two. She doesn't have,

she doesn't have a bunch of friends. She's, yeah, no, she doesn't have a bunch of friends. She's got one friend, which is the girlfriend of one of my friends. So we hang out. That's our group that we hang out with is that girl,

and they hang out sometimes alone. And she only likes that guy because of that girlfriend. And sometimes that's enough. And I think that's going to have to do, Miles. Yeah. What else? Is there anything? Because so far, obviously the friends thing isn't great.

It's not great, but you guys don't have a lot of friends. But you could like together find more friends. That's the other thing too. You start like you get married. You have kids. You get a whole new set of friends with your kids. Yeah. The kids are going to be friends with someone.

You're just going to be friends with those people. So, and yeah, I don't really care not having so many friends. I work all day, every day. So it really doesn't matter to me. Right. And she may warm up over time. I mean, it's been four years. Probably not.

But you never know. Okay. What else? Let's see here. Let's see here. The nursing school is going to be a bit of a problem because it's like, what, four, six years long. And I hate the state so much.

I want to move to either the Midwest or I like Tennessee a lot Wisconsin I love a lot Yeah dude So she doesn't I don't want to stay here So the thing is where her Wherever she goes

Her mom's gonna have to go Which is a big problem Do you do you dislike her mom No I love her mom Her mom's very sweet I do a whole bunch of stuff for her I never had a problem with her But you just

At some point you got to cut the cord Is what you're saying Exactly exactly Yeah okay well that that here's a nice thing about the nursing you can go anywhere you can be a travel nurse make a lot of money and also you know it saves you some trips to the doctor too you know it's true right but i'm also going to have to wait what six years before i have to leave this stupid state yeah that's that's definitely uh what six years for nursing school it's a long time

dude it takes a long time you got to go through like it takes a very long time i didn't years just to be a standard nurse or is she doing a specialty nurse i think to just be an rn it takes a very long time i didn't know and is she behind the eight ball like is it is she older than like like obviously no no she's young she's she's she's 22 oh so well here's the other thing man the brain's not fully formed till 26 oh older than that dude yeah i'm still not sure yeah it's got be 30. Yeah. I definitely didn't get my full adult brain until I was at least 30. I was fucking moron at 20s. I was a moron until I was 30 at least. Yeah. I can't say I even even fully developed now, but you're 40 maybe is what you're playing for. I'm hoping at that

point. Yeah. I said this before. I figure out what I'm doing in life till I'm 40. How old are you? 23. You're 23. She's 22. you guys been together four years. Yeah. Yeah. I think that part of you wants to maybe not propose to her. Otherwise. No, no, I do.

Yeah, but you called into a podcast asking Charlie and I if you should marry her. That's a little bit of a, I won't say red flag, but maybe like a yellow flag of some sort. Maybe in amber. Amber. Amber. Yeah. It's an amber. a burnt orange

flag but no I love her and she's awesome but I just wanted you know I I need you guys as input before I proposed okay if you guys you guys dated other people

uh yeah yeah yeah of course okay okay like in high school middle school yeah like think middle school high school stuff you know yeah okay so I guess I guess nothing really crazy serious yeah only maybe finger

yeah one singular finger. Yeah, singular finger. Any, any infidelity on either side here? Infidelity. Yeah. What do you mean by that? Cheat.

Cheat on her. Oh, no, no. Has she cheated on you? I sure hope not. Yeah. Yeah. This one's actually like a pretty 50-50 of my mind. Usually when we get calls like this, it's pretty obvious one way or the other.

Actually, we can sniff out some glaring problem. Yeah. Well, okay, here's a good thing. What do you like about her? Her eyes. Okay. No, she's, she's, she has great personality. She's fun to hang out. She's funny.

She gets a new car every three years. I like that about her. How does she get a new car every three years? She's on a lease. leases she leases them out every three years what what okay so so she got a job currently yeah right she works at a doctor's office as like a receptionist right now oh great she's got a job you're dating the hot receptionist then oh yeah hot hot reception let's go nice nice good for you they're guys yeah yeah she's a smoke show too it's not like she's ugly oh yeah it's the fact

it changes your hair every other day though so oh that's nice I don't think you should propose to her no what because of the hair miles well so she's she's into hair and she's going to be a nurse that's like recipe for key in your car

and and taking a baseball bat to your tinted windows you know oh no it's much worse when you have tinted windows because then you got to get a new window add new tint yeah it's that to see I think about that stuff when you're going to

marry a nurse slash girl it's into hair into hair she likes getting her hair done she's not like a crazy hair into hair yeah it's a gateway you know she's gonna then drop out of nursing school and become a hairdresser

and next thing you know you don't have any windows in her she becomes a hairdresser I am long gone she she's doing her hair every other day though like it's no no not no like that was a that was a phrase

she likes to get her hair like colored every lot What color is it now? Right now it's black and it was just blonde. Like blonde blonde. Yeah. And you're like, dude, I like routine. I don't like change.

I just, I can't come home and play the hair roulette game. Has she ever had blue hair? No, no, not that type of cow. Red hair? Has she become a red hair? No, no, no. So she just goes between brunette and blonde. Burnett, blonde, black, Jet black.

Yeah, nice. Yeah, all that stuff. What's your favorite hair color on her? I like blonde. Okay. I like blonde or Burnett. Burnett. Burnett, actually, Burnett's really nice.

I like Burnett. What's your natural hair color? I really couldn't even tell you anymore. I'm pretty sure it's like a brunette brown. Okay, okay. All right. Dirty blonde. There you go.

Well, here, how do we do this? Anyone got a coin? Yeah, you got a coin? You got a coin? Let's, we'll just do a coin. A coin. Yeah. This is the first ever bellied up.

Well, if we can find a coin. A proposal coin flip. Does anyone have a coin? Oh, I don't have a. Or anything we can flip the velo tin. Let's do that. Jared's tin. All right.

This is heads. If you get, yeah, if you get the warning, this product is nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. Then it's a no-go. But if you- Okay, so heads is a- Copenhagen can? What is it?

It's a V-L-O. It's a, it's a, like a nicotine poach, like a Zen, basically. If Velo's on the top, it's heads. If fucking messages are on the bottom, it's tails. All right. Correct. Yeah.

No, yeah, we got it. Heads is you're going to propose to her tails. You're not. Okay. Yeah. I think I need Jared to give me the touch on it. Okay. Jared,

you flip. All right. What is your call? We're going to do heads. Okay. Okay. Miles, you want to do a sidebed on this? I bet you five bucks its heads.

Wait, wait. He doesn't even need to, he doesn't even need to call it. He already called it heads. There's no calling it, I guess. Wait. Wait, does that mean that you want to propose to her? No, you told me to call it. I know, that was a mistake.

But what is heads mean? What is heads mean? That was a mistake. Hedges is you're going to marry her and tails is not. Okay. Here we go. All right. Here we go.

Five bucks. Yeah, five bucks. So you think it's heads? I think it's heads. All right. Shaghan. Jared, do you want to get on this? $5.

You'll do tails. Okay. So, okay. So shit. I'm going to pay you both out $5. Yeah, you know, 10. It's fucking sucks. All right, here we go.

Yeah, but it didn't land on the table. Yeah, yeah. It was tails, by the way. Let's go, let's go best two out of three.

tails was first. All right. Well, I think you're moving to Wisconsin next week. We got two tails in a row, and you just can't argue with fate. Yeah. How does that make you feel? It depends how it makes you feel. How many Vee-Los you got in there?

How many are in there, Jared? Jared's got three left. Could be setting off the, uh, the weight downs, you know? Okay, well, you didn't, you're not accepting the reality, so I think maybe you should propose. See, and that's the real test. It's how did it feel in your soul when you heard the results? No, no, it didn't feel good.

Okay, well, there you have it. There we go. Yeah, you propose. I think, uh, I think we're moving to Wisconsin in seven years. Okay. I like that. With her mom. Yeah, with her mom.

Yeah. You can get a nice mother-in-law suite, though, at a nice plot in Wisconsin, you know? yeah sure get a job where you build the road build the interstate to Wisconsin oh wow America Charles America

plus side seven years or now maybe interest rates will drop by that a little bit. You never know. I think they'll be higher. That's probably true. You've got to be optimistic here. I'm trying to be optimistic here. All right. Well, there we go. Hey, we're happy that we could help you out here. We think we've solved the rest of your life. The biggest decision of your life has been solved right here on the Bellied Up podcast. Right here on the Bellied Up podcast. You guys need to come to Long Island for a show. I want to Bellied Up Live in Long Island. Yeah, we'll be there. What's the best bar in

Long Island. You're going to go to Patchhog. Patchhog, Suffolk, County Patchhog. There's actually his new bar. It used to be called the Meatball Place, which was amazing. But it's actually called Amsterdam now. Okay. So sounds fun.

Amsterdam and Patchhog. Yeah, good, man. Well, Matthew, thanks for calling in, dude. Yeah, thanks, boys. First time I've ever talked to some famous people. Well, you're going to have to. Now, I want you to think about, are we actually famous? We are currently podcasting in a gas station.

That's the most famous you can ever get. You got a caller. Yeah, it's true. All the way across the America in a gas station. That's true. We got the guy building America calling it to a podcast of us at a gas station. Freaking, hey, man. So when is this podcast coming out?

A couple weeks. A couple weeks. Yeah, you can just have her listen to it and then be on your knee after the fact. That's exactly what else. I don't think she's going to love all the bad stuff. he said about her. No, I didn't say any bad stuff. He didn't say bad stuff.

He just said stuff he wasn't sure of. And we told him that wasn't that bad. Yeah, yeah. And you told me that it was a sure thing. Hmm. We did say a coin toss. You did consent to us doing a coin toss on whether or not you should propose for her. On my life marriage.

Yeah. You know what? You should get a ring and you should get a velo and put the ring in the velo box. And that's the state right there. Instead of the diamond, I'll do a Velo. Oh, there you go. There you go. And then your answer will be made for you.

I love that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Okay.

All right, dude. Well, thanks for calling in. And we'll see you in Wisconsin in seven years. Yeah. Thanks for calling me. I appreciate it. Guys. Have a good one.

Watch out for deer. We'll see you soon. Well, Miles, you know. No, I can't, I can't say that that was the most proud I've been of us, considering we thought a coin flip was going to be good for that scenario. I'm proud of myself, frankly. I mean, think of how far I've come. When he said he was 23, she was 22, historically, what have I said?

Historically, I've said, nah, it's never going to work. And I didn't even bring up your divorce, remember? You mentioned about that? Look how much we've grown. We've grown so much, you know? Because historically, I would have said, don't even think about it. Your brain's not fully developed, my guy. but who am I to judge?

I mean, your brain's not fully developed. No, it's every day on this podcast. Yeah. Hey, at least I'm not 48. My brain's not developed like you. I'm not 48, Miles. I'm 38. All right?

You're 38? I thought you're 37. I had a birthday that you didn't say happy birthday. I definitely said happy birthday to you. Then how come you didn't know my age? It's April 27th. Yeah, it is. Boom.

Yeah. Done. When's my birthday? It's in March. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, 19th. See, it's not correct. 17th.

Not correct. 18th. That's when I got married, not correct. Fuck, dude. So, um, what is it? Second? 20 seconds. Yeah, that was my next guess.

That's because that's my sister's birthday. I knew that. You didn't know that, actually. I did know that. You didn't. Well, my brain's not fully developed, asshole. So. All right, folks.

We have our favorite lawyer on the line. Mr. Russell, Nicolet. How you doing today? I'm doing well, guys. Thanks for having me on. Always a pleasure to talk with you. Oh, the pleasure is all ours, Russell. Honestly, really is. We're kind of in holiday season, Russell. Pretty curious. What would you say is the number one injury that you come across during the holiday season? Like, is it, you know, a fist fight with your cousins? Is it, what is it? Well, so I would say around the holiday season, we do see some folks getting in bar fights. We don't really handle a lot of that, but we do get calls about that quite a bit.

I don't know. Just something about the holiday cheer, you know, a little too much cheer. I mean, we get people that call us a lot about hitting the deer. There's not a whole lot we can do. We, you know, we tried to sue the deer before, but it just never works out real well. So, you know, we give. that's good to know you we can't call you after we hit a deer yeah you're suing mother nature you know yeah yeah yeah gonna hold up in court usually got to go to your own insurance company and

ask them about taking care of the property damage or whatever so uh but my wife hit a deer the other day uh with her truck and then she was telling me about or actually my kids were telling me about when i got home and miraculously the next day that it like the dent popped out so i guess And it just fixes itself. God put the dent in. God took it out, man. That's very true. Was it nice to her?

Did she bring it home? No, apparently it ran out, hit it, and ran away. Oh, no. At least that's a story because I wasn't there. But, you know, my kids bowed for it. Actually, they told me it at first. She didn't tell me it. But then she said, yeah, that's what happened.

And then I'm like, she wanted to show me the dent. And I forgot to look. And then the next day it was gone. So I was like, I guess that's like, And that's a life lesson. You know, if you ignore something long enough, it'll just work itself out. 100%. Could be a bigger fan of that mentality, Charlie.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fantastic. Procrastination paid off. Yeah, this mole probably just go away. I mean, it looks a little odd right now, but, you know, I'm sure.

You know, if I wait for it to grow more, it'll probably be easier for them to cut off. That's true. That's true. Yeah, that's pretty much the way I, my mental. for any health things, I just say, it'll probably just go away, right? As I get older, I'm sure I'll get them. Cut to like nine months from now. Someone took our medical advice on this show, Russell, and they're calling you to sue us.

What would you do? Yeah. I tell them, we were just kidding. We really do want you and encourage you to get regular medical checkups and follow through the advice from your physician. We are not doctors. That's perfect. I have a jurist doctor, so I'm kind of a doctor.

Don't confuse it, Russell. Don't confuse it. Yeah. We're not medical doctors. Even if we sound really smart, we're not medical doctors. You know, you guys, if I was calling in and I'm guys talking, I would be like, these guys are super, very wise guys, and I need to know what they want me to do for medical treatment, and I'd probably just follow your advice.

A bunch of wise guys here. All right. Well, listen, so we can call you Dr. Nicolet technically? Yeah. Don't do that. Some of their lawyers, especially old lawyers, once in a while I will call their lawyers that. I think it's funny. Like, I, there was an old lawyer. He used to call me Dr. Nicolet every time I saw him. He was a lawyer, too. And obviously, I'm not a medical doctor. Not that smart. But you have a doc. He's got a doctorate. Yeah, JD. Fine. All right,

doctorate. Dr. It, Nicolet. Thank you for calling in, man. This was fun to, I feel like we got to know you a little bit better on this call. Well, thanks for having me, guys. Rich? Yes. Hey, it's me, Charlie and my buddy Miles. Holy shit. It's the, it's the Barrens and Miles twins. I love it.

Okay. Yeah, just a couple twins coming to you, do a little chit-chat. Now, listen, we heard that your daughter is going to marry a fella, and you're not totally sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's a sticky situation. What kind of sticky are we talking? All right.

You're at an 11. I need you at 9 miles. Come on. He's a good fella. He really truly is. Let's give you a little bit of backstory. My daughter was married previously to a fellow where I had kind of the same inkling. Charlie, please don't play anything into this, okay?

Miles already kicked me once you said that she was married previously. I was, no. Like every divorce, I had a muscle spam. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My leg started cramping up and it just happened to hit your leg at that moment. You know, somehow you don't even need to see the video podcast to know exactly what happened when it happened. So, anyhow, he's a good enough fella. Like I said, he did he, you know, he, you know, he,

he is a very good partner for my daughter and he's really good to my granddaughter but like I said this is like you know how you get that gut feeling about something and it's you know you know what I mean just that you know whether it's you know divine intervention or your little man in your head or whatever but it's just that feeling and I I had it for the first guy and I went against it and it ended a very very unfortunate I mean probably you know get the blessing of a granddaughter but I kind have that feeling with this guy and I don't can't put my finger on why so maybe I'm looking for a little advice to

you know maybe getting to know them better I mean I thought I know him pretty well anyways let's blow this apart a little bit let's just let's just put some air some oxygen around first guy what was wrong with them uh well

you had a whole other second family oh shit yeah that's a problem I think that's a big issue now He, uh, disappeared on the, uh, disappeared on the rehearsal, the day of the rehearsal dinner, um, because his second family mama was going into labor. Oh, shit. Uh, whoa, dude. So did you know about the second family while?

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. It came out because, um, some kind of a Facebook post in the second baby, the second one, whatever. They weren't married, but the second baby mama saw it and then started digging and then found my daughter's Facebook page and saw all the pictures of them together and them getting married. Holy shit. Oh my God. So wait, he left rehearsal dinner to go see the birth of his child and then they still got married the next day? He had no idea. She went that morning. He said he was, he went on a four-hour jog. Give me a break. And it'd be funnier. It'd be funnier if he was like

300 pounds I'm just trying to fit into the tucks you know I mean I don't even like to do anything I that feels good for four hours

let alone that anyway nor would I have the stamina you know see wait wait wait wait let's back this up just a second

so the night before he goes to his baby mom your daughter has no idea right she has no idea he was very good about covering his tracks I will say that.

And his family was involved in that, too. So that was a whole other aspect. They were covering for him. They knew? Oh, yeah. Well, the dad did the same thing to his mom. Oh, my God. Holy smokes.

See, it just keeps getting deeper. Yeah. Did, how long were they married? About eight. Well, let's see, they were married a year when my granddavers. I would say about, I'd say almost two years. Two years. Okay.

Yikes, dude. Yikes. And I just wanted to get the crap out of those. I just don't. How do you pull that off? Like, I don't know. The logistics of having, it's not even just like, okay, you have another girlfriend. Fine, right?

You have another kid on top of your already family. Like, how do you, what do it, how do you even make that work? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, you've got a young kid, Miles. You know exactly what it's like. When do you have any extra time? No, I don't.

exactly that's that that's just that's a that's a sickness right there that's crazy um so then when he uh did he get any money out of the divorce um no not really he um this is going to sound really horrible but i really don't care my wife and i gave a lot of money to a very much of a shark divorce attorney to make sure he got nailed to the wall. Yes. Let's go. Yes. That doesn't sound bad at all. Get that money, baby. There's a reason why there's a reason why we have money. That's for that reason right there. That's exactly it. You know, I never saw Hearst toe in a money truck. You might as well have some fun. Yeah. That's right. Okay. Okay. So you think that potentially this guy could also have a second family. No, it's not that. I got to tell you, I don't think

this guy is capable of that but then again I miss you know shit man but at the same time I think that if I would have spent more time getting to know my my daughter's

ex maybe it might have been different because everything was very very superficial with that kid right and he was a pathological liar he had actually told my daughter when they were dating that he was overseas in the Marine Corps and in Afghanistan, Iraq. Come to find out the son of a bitch

never even left the friggin' states. I think he spent his gig in Paramus. And then he got an early general discharge because they said they were done with them. Wow. Early discharge is how he got the family too. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So anyway, I just, I don't know,

maybe I'm looking for some advice of how I could kind of, you know, either put my finger on it directly and tell, you know. I mean, we also got a diagnosis of maybe you have a little bit of PTSD from the guy who had stolen valor about going overseas, you know? Oh, yeah. Well, you know, any anybody's going to be pissed about something like that, right? At least if they have a conscience.

Yeah. Have you gone fishing with them yet? The new one or the old one? The new one. He's really not much of a fisherman. He's got it, you know, he's from um he's from uh an industrial part of pennsylvania he grew up so he didn't really grow up you know with that with being able to go to the outdoors and all that kind of stuff so i get that i get

that okay he didn't have the same blessings we do right yeah no i get it i know no shame there now have you gone how much like how long have they've been dating so they've lived together for over two years and let me tell you about so real quick and this is why i even feel a little bit more about having this reservation he reached out to me and my wife myself and my wife and invited us out to dinner just the three of us to not a cheap restaurant you've been to Denver before charlie she took us out to radizio oh that just sounds expensive i never been there well i wasn't i wasn't afraid to utilize the bar trust me you raked him over the coals i said you know what i want you to bring mistaken lobster then i want you to throw that on the floor bring me another one but he asked for

our blessing even before he proposed to my daughter and showed us the ring and everything well that's that's a class act right i mean that was your opportunity though i think you i think you missed it right like it's just calling into this podcast i hope it didn't happen a few weeks ago maybe when you left the voicemail like before you did this but um yeah i mean that was your opportunity Yeah, I know. And my wife and I kind of knew. I mean, I was, I kind of knew. And what I told him was,

I kind of gave him like a backdoor blessing, so to speak. No, you know, there's nothing more there at my old. The old blessing to reach around. The old blessing sphincter tap dance. Anyway. You sound like a great father-in-law, though. We, uh, so, what I said was, I said, you know, I said, our approval is not the approval that you need.

It's my daughter's approval. And that's the most important. And I said, you make my daughter happy. And as long as you never hurt her, it's not my approval that you need. It's hers. Nice. But go ahead. See, so it was.

Classic, just delegate the decision to your daughter. Oh, yeah. No, I know all the management speak, bro. I've worked in that industry way too long. Yeah. Just answer the question with the question. you know, do you think my daughter has your approval? Well, let's see, is he, is he at home every night?

Yeah, he is. He's pretty much at home. Yeah, he is. That's a good start. Right. Hard to have another family with a kid if you're not, if you're at home every night. That's true. That's very true.

Does he have a good job? that's really good he does he's actually an apprentice plumber and he's about ready to take his i'm i what's the next step is that is it journeyman yeah probably yeah he's gonna make some real good money yeah i mean yeah plumbers i mean other than electricians right yeah and welders and i mean and welders this guy seen some shit um he seemed some shit yeah i've i gave up on the joke as soon as it came out of my mouth. That's what she said. You do seem like

a good father on. Have you guys done any, like, have you, have you spent an extended time with them, golfing, not just fishing, but golfing, hunting, croquet. Actually, croquet. Actually, we did, we went one time last year,

last season, which was an abysmal season, because you know I live in Denver, so I'm a long-suffering, Rocky fan. he and i went to the businessman special on you know which is the wednesday afternoon game just he and i oh and no red flags well it's what's funny is he uh no yes and no i like i said i can't put my finger on it we had a good time he was very respectful um you know he was very respectful you know didn't say anything derogatory and you know the other thing i was looking at and maybe as we

He wasn't a really racist. He's not a Nazi, you know? No, you know. Just baseline stuff. Just, yeah, exactly. You know, he's got a receding hairline. So I thought maybe, you know, he was an nihilist, but no, not so much. So, but what I was looking at, and I just realized this is that when guys with my daughter, I have two daughters, I always look at where their eyes are at.

you know, when, when you're talking to my daughter, where are your eyes at her chest or they had her eyes? Exactly. And he's a, he's clearly a boob guy. That's a concern. No, no, no, no. Is that he, when we were, what I also look at is where are their eyes out when we're in public. What's he looking at? Is he checking out, you know, the gal that just walked by in the, in the looting lemons or, you know, whatever?

How did you get so specific? Yeah. Was he checking out that gal and the. pink glue lemons with a great ass he's like i i check to see if there's any good looking women around just to see if he's looking it's every you'll learn it's every father's prerogative parental entrenchment yeah um now you just want to throw this out there and and i'm going to throw it out there i ask that and no one gets offended by this but a lot of gals will look for

men in their life that are similar to their father. I'm just going to roll that out of that. Wow, dude. I wasn't even going to bring that up, Miles. You thought about it though, didn't you? A little bit. And again, just throwing that out there. We can cabosh that real quick.

Just throwing that out there. So I appreciate that, that perspective, Miles, but let me just respond to that with you bastard. I also would have accepted. Did you can go fuck yourself? That would have also been acceptable. No, I like you too much to say that now.

You know, I thought about that. Right after you said that, I was like, oh. So, well, wait a minute. Should I be offended or flatter? I think in her scenario, you should probably be offended. Yeah. Well, look, that's not always the case either. There's some that go completely opposite.

it so but let's get back to where i married a gal like my dad so yeah i know i remember i i there was one time i hurt my hand and randah was like you'll be fine i was like oh my god i'm dating my dad right now what the hell is going on i mean it can go either way you know i was like um but but did what what about his eyes where were his eyes going so he was generally he had he was either i mean he's he's really good about eye contact i mean you know out is when you talk to somebody and they don't make eye contact with you, it's like, okay, what are you hiding type thing? But he always makes really good eye contact.

But I did see his eyes kind of wander, you know, one time because there was a gal who's sitting in front of us who actually turns out in chatting with her. She's a Broncos cheerleader. I love always getting mad for looking at her and you were hitting on it. So what's... Hey, my wife is going to listen to this, man. You brought it up. Yeah, she's a Broncos cheerleader.

You know, she was actually born in Arizona. She got a boob job, but honestly, you wouldn't even be able to tell. She loves skiing and veil. Yeah, yeah. She actually can do the splits. She can do the splits. Very flexible. Standing up even.

And can you believe it? He was looking at her. Who struck up the conversation with the cheerleader? Bold move for, and that's the other thing, too. he's a really he's well my what my daughter's pretty short she's 5 2 but this guy is 5 1 this dude's 5 1 yeah I'm 6 4 he's laughing by that's that's we've we uncovered the real issue here she could just like put him in her purse you know they always talk about that like a the wife's got the guy's balls in her purse he and she just put the whole guy in the purse he just put the whole guy in the purse

yeah i'm telling you if it was any worse she'd be dating we man i can't wait to hear your speech at this wedding dude it's just going to be a roast of this guy well that's the other thing too now i got to pay for another wedding are you killing i think that maybe that's the move just say honey you are on your own and if she's like i can't afford it'd be like well i guess you can't get married yeah there you go you know How bad does his hype bother you? It doesn't really.

It really, really doesn't. Keep saying really. Really. It honest, really. No, in all sincerity, it doesn't. It's just kind of, you know, I joke about it all the time. He was over and he was helping me cook. And I was like, hey, can you grab the olive oil?

It's on that third shelf. I was like, he couldn't reach it. I was like, you want to boost it? Squirt? I would love to hear this guy's perspective of it. He's going to be like, I'm 5-1. You think I'm going to get a Broncos cheerleader? He's like, he's always staring at these butts.

And it's like, that's because that's eye level. Exactly. You know what? That's a great point. That is a great point. Okay. Well, I think you guys got, I think we got some good things for me to ponder some good things to think about doing.

So I appreciate that. Yeah. I mean, you know, God bless the short kings out there. But, you know, it's going to be cheating isn't necessarily number one in their, in their category, you know. That's true. Because you got to think about, you know, the opportunity here. And a lot of girls, that's like a non-starter, you know. Right, right.

Unfortunately, not saying it's right. But there will be less opportunity. Yeah. I just want everyone to know, let's listen to this at Charlie. Barron says that short people they just they can't get girls. No, that's not what I said. Charlie Barron. Short people

short people get a lot of girls. You just have to take what you can get. Short. Charlie Barron's. No, your daughter's beautiful woman, right? Dart Tooting. Yeah. She's got a beautiful daughter and I'm and short guys do get a lot of girls.

They do. No doubt. I'm just saying it's a lot of girls are sexist on height. They're high sexist. They're heightis. Yeah. And so what I was pointing out was the terrible societal trend of, you know, women needing that 6-0 category or it's a no-go. Well, you know, that's a great point, Charlie, because you've seen those TikToks as well where that guy's on the pier and he's asking gals, is height important to a guy, to a girl.

And they're like, absolutely. And he's like, okay, get on the scale then. I have seen that. That is funny. It is. Yeah. You know. Nobody wants to bang a guy.

They have to go get a booster chair, though, you know? He just called in the roasts, this dude. That's all he's doing. You got more. You got a whole list of them, don't you? You're just crossing them off. Yeah, he's just two inches and try to be in a fucking oopalupa. When, when, uh, when you went to that fancy restaurant in Denver, when,

when the waitress asks, how many of you will there be? What did you say? Two and a half. We're going to need a booster seat. Can you get them a menu we can color on? So I'm just going to leave, okay,

I'm going to the last thing I'm going to say about this guy and it truly is a good guy. So to give you an image of what this gentleman looks like, no, I swear to God, he looks exactly like him, except he's got a little bit of a beard. You guys have seen the movie Basketball, correct? I have not.

Jared has. Jared's seen it. I used. He looks exactly, he looks exactly like squeak right down to the haircut. Wait, wait. It's just not a great name to be someone. Oh, it's not in the movie. Oh, that's dude.

Oh, man. How old is? Is he? I think actually he's two years younger than my daughter. He's 30. He's 30. Your daughter is 32. Man,

let's squeak of his day, dude. Absolutely. Maybe. Okay. There's nothing that's screaming at me that's like, this guy shouldn't marry your daughter, you know? Yeah. Okay.

So just out of curiosity, does your lawyer sponsor there? Does he handle divorce? No, he did not. Why are you looking somewhere else? you already found a great lawyer. Yeah, you found a shark. Yeah. Well,

second time you should do it on a coupon type thing. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, discounted rate. How long have they been dating again? They've lived together for almost three years. So how long have they been dating? Three years?

I think they dated for about, I think they dated. Oh, you know, that's a great point, Miles. I think they dated for almost a year before they moved in together. How many years ago did she get divorced? Uh, five. five five okay so she met him right there you know does your uh granddaughter like him she loves him oh okay well you're you're you're set you just wanted to call in the roast squeak a little bit which we get we can't you call him you can't call him cheese curd squeaky

cheese he was what was that he was also in that movie orgasmo that same actor guys haven't that? No. Trey Parker, Matt Stone, about the Mormon Pornosar. Oh. Gasmo. Orgasmo. Okay. I'll have to watch that. Okay. Yeah, that's a good one. Let me see here. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, I think I think you're all right. I think there's a little bit of PTSD from the last guy and I think it'll be all right. All right. Just think, also just let you know it can't be worse than the last guy like unless this guy turns out to be Jeffrey Dahmer and murders your daughter not to put that in your mind but but you just that would be the only way it could get worse in my opinion so I think if he doesn't feel like a murderer I think you're going to be all right can't be I think I did kind of freak him out one time because

he came over and I was cleaning my shotgun. What do you hunt? You know what? Anymore, I don't really hunt. I was always a big, I was a big pheasant duck guy. But now I just shoot skeet. Nice. Trapped.

Yeah. Have you taken him to shoot some skeet? He's very, don't get me wrong because I don't, you know, I don't judge people on their politics for the most part, but he's very left wing. And like, are liberal about guns and not a big fan. and all that. And I respect that. Then just stay away to keep your mouth shut. But not even a, not even a shotgun,

you know, left wing. I mean, that's just a good shot on a pheasant. Darn, too. But it's a bad shot. Yeah. Yeah, it's a bad shot. You're right. I can't make the jokes and make it make sense, Miles. Come on. Yeah, well, uh, I don't know. I think you're good.

I think you're good. I think so. I think you guys are right. Your daughter's also 32 years old, you know? I mean, you've done all the work that you could do. You know? Yeah. Some point you got to cut the cord.

Yeah. Yeah. And even at this point, if you did have a problem with it and you say something, it's not going to probably go well, you know? There's probably still married. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

I think it's going to be fine. Yeah. And honestly, if you're really worried about it, you just need to do a meet-the-parent situation and just get surveillance on this guy for a while. Yeah, put a tractor on his car. You're already willing to pay for a good lawyer. You've got to know someone in the CIA. You can hire for a side job. One of my buddies that I went to high school with works for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Oh, there you go. There you go. Yeah. There you go. Yeah, you should call. Did you run a background report on them? if he's a criminal? Yeah, I did.

Yeah. He did that. He did that as soon as they started dating. No, when they moved in together, it's when I did it. And nothing? Clean? Nothing. Clean as a whistle.

You're good, man. Yeah, you're good. And in my defense, doing that, you know, it's not just my daughter. I have to think about it. I got to think about my granddaughter, too, you know? Yeah. No, you don't have to justify this to us. Okay.

Yeah. Good. Yeah. well hey listen i i know we're getting long on time here but before i go i got to kind of tell you guys a little a story here um charlie i first discovered you um during pandemic um during the pandemic through your uh quarantine bartender stuff which oh yeah thank you and i got i got to tell you um i had old fashions in the past and i just thought they were disgusting yeah and but i tried yours and i figured it out it's because it was made with bourbon and not brandy so see

We make your style. I use your recipe for our old fashions. And we usually do a sour. We don't have jolly good here, so we have to use squirt. Hey, squirt works, man. And every time we have. You're soon to be son-in-law.

Like that? I see what you're nice callback, darling old fashions. I got it in there. But so, but every time we have your old-fashioned, every time Charlie, no, I'm not kidding, we toast Grandpa Joe. Oh, that's awesome.

I love that. Well, listen, we're going to send you a bottle of that, all right? Are you kidding? Oh, that would be awesome because I can't get Barron's here. I was going to order some. But anyway, but what I want to say was, is I discovered you through that. And then I started listening to the podcast and everything like that a few years ago and just really enjoy you guys immensely.

But a few years ago, we like I said, we lived down. downtown Denver. And so my wife and I had scooters so that we could go to the Rockies game, not pay for parking, you know, all that kind of stuff, go to nuggets and abs and all that jazz. And so we had Vespas. And a lady ran a stop sign. She was texting him driving and plowed me over. Oh. Shattered both my legs, half my face. I was in the hospital for over a month. And then I was in a rehabilitation center for over two months where I had to learn to like relearn how to walk and And everything like that. I listen to your guys' podcasts every single day living in that, in that residential.

And the humor that you guys do and everything, all that, it totally helped me take my mind off of the bad stuff. And I'll know that God gives us good stuff, too, even in the bad, most difficult situations. So thank you guys so much for what you do. You know, sometimes it means more than what you think it does. and that's truly a blessing. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I really appreciate that.

I mean, I can't. It's hard for me to take a compliment, you know, but I mean. Oh, I know. And that's like hearing stuff like that is great too

because it also like sometimes you're like, it just makes it a little bit more worth it to put out more content and do all that stuff. So we really appreciate that. Yeah. It's like that's the real reason why we want to do it. And I think that's awesome, man. Yeah.

Well, we really do appreciate you saying that. And we're going to send you this, this bottle. You can send him a case, Charlie. We'll send you, yeah. After that speech, come on, man. We'll send you a case, all right? And I didn't even bring up, I didn't even bring up about, you know, my divorce.

Oh, Super Bowl 32. Oh, he's a Broncos fan. Oh, my God, dude. I cried after that game. Oh, so did we here at Denver, but for different reasons. Uh-huh. Well, congrats. Tell John Elway, we says hi, all right. Oh, you know, I will. Okay. Well, thanks so much for letting me talk with you guys today. It was a lot of fun. I really appreciate it. Super fun. Have fun with your new expanding family.

Good dude. You know, really got that compliment machine going there at the end. Yeah. Do you get uncomfortable when you get complimented? It's tough, man. I know. And I think that's just the Midwest way. Yeah.

But I think we did a good job. We did a good job. Yeah. It's a problem if your Midwestness, like the fact you have to think about how to respond to a compliment is, it's not great for the Midwest, like, personality. You know what I mean? Yeah. The whole time, I'm like, oh, God, the hands are getting sweaty. You know, obviously, like, how do you even say how much you appreciate him saying that? I know. Listening. And for, yeah, because, you know, I appreciate that more than he appreciates us. And I hope he knows that. He will,

once he gets that stack of brandies, can we text him, get his address? I can't now forget to do that, you know. that'd be bad and uh it's also a good opportunity for us to say thanks to people that listen yeah you guys a job it gives uh us a lot of fulfillment and enjoyment uh to be able to do this and uh we couldn't do it without you guys listening and watch it yeah we really couldn't we appreciate you guys and um yeah and and also i want to say to all you short kings out there girls they're starting to change their mind on that situation she's now playing damage control after basically saying that they have if you're short you have no path to getting laid I never said that at all press release yeah I never said that at all I was straight from the desk
