Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the bellied up podcast. I'm here with my good buddy Miles, the you betcha guy. And I am Charlie, the not you betcha guy. But some people come up to me in the airport and say, hey, are you the you betcha guy? And I say yes, because I'm too lazy to say no. Do you know I get mistaken? Not for you, but I think they think I work for you. Yeah, people have thought that you've worked for me, too.

Yeah, I think you tell people I work for you. Oh. I mean, it's not totally wrong, Miles. Well, here's a question. I live to please. I live to please. If I actually was your boss, which I am not. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How would you feel about that? Do you think I'd be a good boss or you think I wouldn't be? I think you'd be a good boss. I do. I mean, I see the way you treat, you know, the people that are on your payroll and you're a good guy. You know, I feel like you'd let me come into your office and take a fuzzy water anytime I wanted. Take a little dip out of your snort. you know what I'm talking about

a little hoot she got sitting there I think you let me pour myself a nice little glass and sit my ass on your couch um you know you're you're an interesting guy Miles because we're just trying to do a sketch and the sketch involved me throwing a book at a student I'm an abusive teacher

or as I like to call it a teacher uh from back in the day you know the best kind of teachers the ones that you know wouldn't have to get permission to hit you with a ruler but you won't let me throw a book because you liked your books so much. I wanted to pick the right book because some of the books I have in there are nice. I know.

Yeah, you won't let me throw your nice books. Yeah. Yeah. What are they, Bibles? What do you care about? What do you like? What do you like?

Do you like, you know, like you got your snowmobile. You want me just to take your snowmobile and just start throwing it around? You could. If you can lift it up, I mean, that's a Yamaha phaser, dude, from, from the nine. 90s. This thing has been, you should see the ass on the underbelly of this is destroyed, partially because I took it. How many years have you been working on that snowmobile? This one is just a season. Not counting next year. That's a good joke, Miles. Hey, speaking of little projects, Miles, it's spring. And in spring, I like to like take on more projects

than I know I can complete in the year. But you know, things start to on Daw, get a little horned up about summer. They just thaw. They unthaw miles. So they freeze back up. Don't do not bring synapses into this conversation. I would actually, before we continue down the road we're going, I would like to know the origin of unthaw.

Untthaw. He gives it a lot. Yeah. Well, it's, it's kind of like hot water heater, you know. It's from the same church of hot water heater. It's, it doesn't make sense. No, but you know what I mean. I mean, it's just a water heater.

Sure. Yeah. Oh, water heater, by the way, speaking of which, I'm moving a water heater. So I got a duplex. Mm-hmm. And in this duplex, the goal is going to be to, I'd taken out the walls. You know, Miles, I don't know if I talked about this on a previous episode, but all my projects take freaking forever because I get focused on them, then I leave them alone. But I was looking at this wall in my basement.

I was like, that's got to go. And then I was like, I redesigned my whole. basement. And what that means is basically I took out the barrier wall in the duplex. The load bearing wall? It's not load bearing. It's like a duplex barrier wall. Okay. So it's like just a barrier for the one unit and the two unit. So you're taking your duplex and turning it into aplex. The basement is, it's still a duplex because that'd be a whole other thing. Although I think if I took out the staircase on the ass end of the house and put up one big spiral staircase, how cool would that be cool I've always wanted to work a spiral staircase into something I mean

this would be it maybe you should come over sometime we'll do a spiral staircase from the basement to the attic wouldn't that be cool we'd have to make some off ramps on it but that's fine that's easy and in fact that breaks up the spiral staircase and then you can have one two that makes it a little easier a little more feasible heating would be a pain in the ass though because you take out all those ceilings and now you got high ceilings which you know fan at the top yeah okay okay that's because you see that's why i'm glad we're talking about it um unless someone uses the restroom up there then that's going to be problematic for the whole house if billy deuce goes up into my bathroom drops a deuce yeah then it's a problem but anyways um moving the uh water heater is

it's a bit more of a task than uh than i uh had in mind because you find out the water heater has some old piping. Piping's not great and you got to reroute it. So now you're adding more pipe in there. So what are you going to put in the basement? Okay, so I got a bow range, which I've had there. But now no one, it's not like going through the wardrobe stuff. You know, so it's a little bit more.

So you're moving a water heater so that you can have an archery range in your basement. 100%. Yes, a legit one. And I'm also thinking of axe throwing. Okay. Like I want archery. You're not very tall. Yeah, but that just, I know, because you do have to crouch.

First throw, you're going to throw it and it's just going to stick in the rafter. I know. To be honest with you, to be honest with you, axe is a terrible idea. Yeah. Yeah, you can't do it. I'm glad you actually told me about that before you did it because I don't think you should do that. Well, and with the bow, you can kind of make excuse. is like, well, if you're hunting deer with a recurve, you know, you're going to have to be squatting

at certain times and you want to, it's almost plays into it. But yeah, the X-Rong is definitely not going to happen down there. As you can tell, I put a lot of thought into this. But anyways, other projects I'm thinking, Miles, I took down this deck and I got a lot of extra deckwood, some big deck wood. And I'm going to make a little holder for, uh, for a few boats. I got the What do you mean a holder? Well, so like my brother's got a kayak, right? And my sister's got a kayak.

And my parents actually also have a kayak. But, you know, I figure it be a nice little holder for all the kayaks. A little kayak holder. Isn't that cute? Yeah, I mean, you said boat. So I was thinking like fishing boat holder. They're technically boats. Okay.

Technically boats. One thing I do have to do is the fishing boat I have. it's a mural craft and I found it in the reeds and it's not in good shape. When I found it, it had a whole family of ants living in it. Some mice were living in there just for the winter though. It was their winter home. But anyway, they ate up all the insulation. You know, the foam that you sprayed under the seats so the boat would float if you forgot to put the plug in it.

It was like it was made for me. but anyways i got to redo that so all right also the the transom needs it's so rodded out so my again my advice is that you should just not fix that boat and just get a new one and i know what everyone's thinking miles kind of goes against who we are you know it's fix some stuff let's do projects but charlie yeah you have um you live your life with 150 open tabs in your internet browser. I know. And so a little bit, yes, what's, what's another tab?

What's 151 to 150? Yeah. But I would like to see you at 2026 close out some tabs. I also, I have 10 trees that need to come down. No, you don't. Not this year. They're dead. Miles.

It's almost fall down on their own. As long as they're not going to fall in the house. They might fall. They're in-house territory. Now, here's what I would, I would love. to be able to be like proficient enough with a chainsaw. And it's not necessarily, I'm, I'm pretty good with the chainsaw, but the idea of, it's not just a change.

It's knowing how trees fall and having the proper, um, you should just hire someone, do that, especially because some trees, you can't climb, but you think you can. And then you realize, nope, I was a widow maker, you know, and, uh, and, uh, Because you don't know how long they've been rotten out out there where the branch is. No, I understand. And I think you should hire someone to do that project. I might, or I might get a scissor lift. If I had a scissor lift, I could do any tree.

Any tree. With the right scissor lift? The problem the last time. The money that you spend on a scissor list, you might as well just hire. I'm not buying a scissor lift. There's a guy up the street who has a scissor lift. The way you said it, did it not sound like you was going to buy it? No, I'm not an idiot, dude.

a scissor lift although it would come in handy i mean you don't you do not i mean it's i had to rent a scissor lift to paint the house or seal it up you know and i also got a chink uh that that house which sounds like a word you shouldn't say but when it when when it when it as it pertains to log homes yep um this one has gone unchinked for um for way too long because i also got them boring beetles in there you know the ones i leave wood dust around so i'm trying to get rid of them you know and i would and i would recommend hey go gangbusters on these projects charlie yeah but you also have 150 tabs in another internet browser that is your business that you have going on i know so i'm trying to limit the amount of tabs that you have open i get it why can't i just relax miles

why why does it always have to be this way i don't know i don't know i don't know how much it's you how many tabs you got open i just have probably 50 tabs open okay trying to close them out though uh say you're better than me without saying you're better than me you know i am better at you than time in time management yes obviously dude fuck everybody is all of our listeners right now are better than me at time management do you know that uh for the for meeting up this week we hit up your team and was like, it was like, hey, so for the podcast next week in Fargo, you know, what's the schedule like? And your team said, Charlie's going to Fargo next week. I thought you guys communicated that to them. Oh, okay. So it's on me to communicate with your team. No, it's not on you. It's on.

If we start doing that, then you might as well just work for us at this point. I pretty much do. You're yelling at me for my poor time management. Yeah, all right. So this is, this is your, uh, your performance review. I like it. Weak skills, time management, communication. Check. That's it. That's all, yeah.

Those are my number one and two for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Things are doing well, though. Let's hear it. Morale. Yeah. When you're not, when you are communicating and you show up to the right place, the right time.

Facts. Facts. I've gotten better. I was early today. Was I not early did it? Was I early yesterday? yeah you're talented charlie thank you miles what kind of talents are we talking about um all of them cool you're talented thank you um so we just need you need you need what you need is you need uh

you need someone that you're scared of in your life to be your personal assistant all right let me call my dad yeah say if you can get your dad to retire from from his job and then become your personal assistant, your life would, you would be so organized. Yeah, that's true. If my dad, me and my dad, we do some projects together. And on those, my dad is, he's kind of given up on me, uh, period. You know who hasn't given up on you, Charlie? You miles? This guy. This guy. All right. Why you remember that? My parents given up on you. Your siblings have given up on you. Um, but I haven't. I'm still here. My dad, my dad really appreciates that I got a cabin though.

He's pretty excited about that. I bet. So, yeah. All right. Take some callers. Let's do it, Miles. Hello. How is past, Patty?

Um, okay. Are you ready for the sound? The sweetest, sweetest sound. Let's hear it. You ready? All right.

Oh. It's like a lightning bolt at the tip of my penis. Oh, my goodness. Me too. All right. There we go. So you got one of those, huh? Yeah, I drink PBR.

PBR is where... I mean, that is the most obvious beer that you drink ever. For the folks that don't know, this is our resident tarot card reader Charlie. Yes, I remember the last time we chit-cha with you, I think we were in Fargo, weren't we, Miles? We were not in Fargo.

We were? Where? Oh yeah, we were a mixed office. So who's got memory skills now, Miles, huh? God, the things I remember. I wish you could choose the things you could remember. Technically, it was Morhead, so Miles was right.

More hat? Boom. Damn. So it was Minnesota. Never mind. It's Patty, right? Yeah, but my business is called Esperanza Bense Tarro. So if anyone

wants taro or astrology, don't call me Patty. Call me Esperanza. It's like more, you know. Yeah, it sounds sounds more. Are you what I mean? Patty sounds like you've been a secretary at a school for 40 years.

Yeah. I get it. Yeah, I have, but not for 40 years. Wait, you are a secretary at a school? I had been. I've worked at schools, yeah. Were you hammering Diet Coke's or no? No, I wasn't hammering Diet Coke.

Heaters? I drink, I drink full sugar. I'm a full, full-fledged person. Okay. Wow. No diet. No diet anything. You're scared of aspartame is what's the problem here, right?

Yeah, I think it's my fear of aspartame for sure. Like, definitely. No, I, I like regular Coke. I like regular beer. I just like regular stuff, you know? Oh, yeah, totally. Regular weed. Regular dudes, regular weed. Yeah, I like regular weed seriously because the weed that they have in the store, it's really, really strong. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you, you take a little, hitter of the purple Hayes, 27, 18, 5, and before you know it, you're having

an existential crisis inside. And then you got to call your tarot reader. You got to call your terror reader because you're like, I think I'm inside a piece of paper right now. What do I do? How would you know, Charlie? I've heard. I've watched

documentaries on it. Miles, why are you shaking your head right now? I'm connecting with Patty. Patty, are You Latina? No, I'm a complete faker. Okay. Like my story is I'm black and white and neither black people nor white people really like relate to me that much. But I grew up in Delavan, Wisconsin, and there's a lot of Spanish speakers there.

So they always were like, oh, hey, you're one of us. And I'm like, okay. Oh, so you got adopted by the Delavan Latinos. I like it. Yeah. So they've been calling me Esperanza. since I was like 11 or 10. Hey, you roll with that, Patty.

So I roll with it. I do. I complete my cultural appropriation and I'm even profiting from my own racism. So it's perfect. Okay. There we go. All our cards, all our tarot cards are on the table right now, Patty. Yeah.

At least you're honest about it. Yeah. And that's it. If you're going to, you know, admit to that. Because it's hard to find an honest tarot card reader today's society, you know. Oh, I know you've looked, Miles. I know you've looked far and wide. And thank goodness I called in that fateful day.

I almost called. Yeah, anyways. So last time... You should call me. Well, no, I'll call you. I almost called another guy. I was almost a mistake. So remind us last time you did a reading for us over the phone and you said that I believe

it was something like Charlie was going to get a big buck. Is that what it was? was. Yeah. You know that something that's really weird about my brain. Like, I freaking, I remember a lot of stuff. And if I recall, I'm serious. I'm pretty sure during that reading, we pulled the hyraphant, we pulled the lover's card. And I think we pulled the high priestess or the empress, one of those two. Which is very rare. But it was. It was. It was a really rare. reading and I was wondering and I wanted to check back with you Charlie Charlie I had a feeling at that time when I did that reading for you I knew you weren't going to get a good book but I just said

that to make you feel better but um okay I mean I don't I wasn't lying exactly like I don't like that's pretty much the definition of line go back to that it's hard to find an honest tarot card reader. Oops. Sorry. We can edit. We can. We won't.

Those are going on record. You guys, my phone might be beeping. I'm on like this group text that's going wild right now. But I'll answer your question. Okay. So I pulled those cards and I thought Charlie that at that time I really had this feeling that like you were going to ask somebody to like marry you or that you were in a relationship with somebody and I just felt like the relationship energy because there were two there was a

masculine card a feminine card and then the lovers was in the middle when when was that you guys that was like a couple years ago was it already what what do we have the exact date I think it was like November of 23 well you talk about memory chevers well he it's burned into his brain because he's got to edit this stuff so yeah um in November of 20s I would have been dating my my now girlfriend still. The cards don't lie. That's what I always say. They don't lie.

Is that why they say it was in the cards? Bro. Is that why they say it's in the cards? I'm drinking to this. Cheers, Charlie. Congratulations. I have a good feeling about this. I mean, no, not to put a hole in it.

he was already dating the woman when you pulled that. I know. But then I thought when I saw those cards altogether, I was like, he's going to ask her to marry him. Wow. Damn. Randa,

did you hear that? But I didn't even know, I didn't even know you were dating anybody when I pulled those cards. But then I, I, then the cards told me. Yeah. And how,

um, okay. Let's get into it. I want to. Let's stop fucking beating around the bush. Let's get another reading going. Oh, all right. Chuck, I'm ready for it.

Should we read Miles? If you want to, Miles. I would love to. Let's do it. Okay, I'm going to shuffle right here. So usually, like, while you're focusing on your question or on your topic, I'm going to shuffle the cards and, like, get in the vibe with you. Is that chill?

That's so chill. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to focusing on? So if you have a topic in your life that you're thinking about career, kids, wife, Jared, whatever, you just focus on that. But please don't tell me like what you're thinking about right now. Okay. I'm just going to shuffle while you really get yourself in the focused energy of that question or topic.

And when you have that topic real clear in your head, just say, okay. and I'll pull the cards for you, right? All right. Get it clear, Miles. You got any... Doesn't that sound like ASMR? Yeah, so you just just breathe. A card just popped out.

What is it? Eight of swords. Eight of swords. So be sure to release yourself from negative self-talk. Pretty much the only thing that's holding you back right now, Miles, is your own thinking. I'm fully on board with that. Really? Yeah, I'm a student of the mind.

He's chubbed up right now as soon as you said. You're speaking my language. Self thoughts and stuff. Miles became a little Buddha at some time. You guys, this is not that kind of phone line. Oh, I was kidding. Do not be sending people to the tarot reader for chubby, chubby. Well, I'm saying he got a brain boner is what I'm saying.

Yeah, basically, you know. Okay. There is nothing good nor bad. Only thinking makes it so. Wow. Is that in one of those books? You want to let me throw them? Yeah.

A book. Yeah. This card is pretty much like when you need solutions, you need to like think outside the box for sure. And it's Aquarius time right now. The sun is in Aquarius. So it should be really supportive for you to be thinking outside the box. Okay.

We're going to think outside of the box. Yeah. Yeah. Like even if you just. drive a little bit of a different way to work. Like you might come up with a better idea of... I thought you meant right now. Okay.

Oh, or right now. Yeah, think outside the box, Miles. Okay. You see that box you're in? Think outside. He's got no option because he's getting out of his box soon. Okay, so, all right. Okay, I am ready.

I'm now thinking about what you told me to think about. I'm holding it very clear. All right, I got you. All right. We got in your past. Queen of Wands reversed. Present tense. Eight of Pentecost reversed.

And the near future, seven of Pentacles reversed. How interesting. Are you thinking about a change in terms of the way that you do your work? Are you thinking about like having a shift on the work front, especially in terms of like how it deals with queen of once reversed, I wonder if that's your wife. And the seven of pentacles reversed is a need for patience. So like you've already planted some seeds. They're growing. You show up every day. You do the same thing, day in, day out with the eight of pentacles. It's like you've already mastered your craft. You know how to do things. You've got things rolling. But you might be thinking about, especially with

these two eights. With the eight of swords, it's like hard to come up with solutions because you're kind of holding yourself back mentally, letting yourself get into a loop. With eight of pentacles reverse, there could be a change on the work front. Does anything, does anything make sense? Or is this complete chubby bullshit? Well, I think that in the last, you know, six months, we've made some changes here at our company, you know, got a little more focused. So, yeah.

Does that have to do with the balance between yourself and your relationship? Is your wife also intuitive, by the way? What do you... Like, does she have... Loaded question. Oh, shit. Never mind. No, no.

That's not a loaded question. What I mean is just like there's only one way to know my wife's not intuitive. He'll probably want to always say his wife's intuitive. Whoever his wife is. In what sense do you mean is she intuitive? Like does she sense things before they happen or does she, does she, is she pretty much in tune with her old? She's got a high signal. She senses bullshit pretty fast.

That could be the queen of wands here. Yeah, she is my queen too. Yeah, with three reversed cards, that's usually internal work. That's like work that we have to do on ourselves for the stuff to come up positively. I have been working on myself lately. good well I hope that your wife appreciates that he was he was throwing he does sorry keep going no you go no I was saying he was working on himself this morning he was throwing a medicine medicine ball down and he jammed his finger oh oh my gosh yeah so this is actually a Jordan flu

game performance for me right now holding this microphone is it's a lot of labor for me today. Hey Miles, what was your question? Oh, I was supposed to have a question. I was just thinking about a scenario. So, oh, you were thinking about a scenario. Can you tell us? What?

It was a secret. You know, I was, I was more so just thinking about like when we, me and Ann, want to have another kid is what I was thinking about, you know, kid number two is kind of what I was holding my mind. Oh, okay. So queen of, queen of ones reversed here. eight of pentacles. Wow, that's interesting.

Okay. Queen of wands. It sounds like an erotic video. I don't think it's up to you guys when you're going to plan to have another kid. Let me put it that way. Okay. Okay. So Jesus take the wheel.

Jesus take the wheel and drive fast. I'll do my best. I don't want to blow a tire, but. You put a little stinker. Oh, my gosh. Your name is not Jesus. but dude yeah queen of one's reverse like she might want a little bit more support and um maybe maybe to get her to get herself organized and ready for this time and then with the

eight of pentacles reversed yeah you want to make sure like all because now you're going to have two so i think with the seven of pentacles reverse though in the near future like it might have already happened, dude. Okay. Oh, wow. Not necessarily what I wanted to hear today. You've been, from you. You, no offense. Let's call Ann. Let's see how she's feeling. Let's not. How about, yeah. We're not. So Ann, she's talking to my tarot card gal. She said you're pregnant. Yeah, you should walk in the day. You should walk in the day and say, honey, can we talk? I need you to pee on the stick for me. I think you just tell her. I think you'd just say, honey. money, we're pregnant.

You know, to see how she reacts. It's in the cards. Well, with the seven of pentacles reverse, that can mean that, like, we don't have to be patient anymore. Like, something's already happening. Okay. Like, seven of pentacles is planting a seed and being patient. I see what you did there.

Yeah. Planting a seed. That's exactly. Spurum. Yeah. I mean, it's all symbolic, right? It's all symbolic. Yeah. So here's the question. Why did you have me withhold my what I was thinking about? Because then you gave a reading and then it wasn't what I was thinking about at all. What does that mean?

Well, all of this still applies because you're still going to have to do some changes around the work front and be patient and support your wife. Like all everything I said still applies to this situation. Oh gosh, I got to send them to voicemail. well miles anyway i got a little skeptical and she's she folded she folded like a deck of taro cards that happens miles uh well i'm excited for you and um crap sorry i accidentally hung up on you so what does that mean it means i it means my phone is just blowing up today what's going on on your phone what's going on Dude, I'm getting, I'm on a group text with a bunch of like astrologers and stuff. And everybody is like losing their shit over this, over everything, you know, like everything is going nuts right now in the news. And I have some colleagues who are forensic astrologers. And so they're casting charts for what's happening.

Can I say this kind of stuff? Yeah, yeah, go ahead. I want to hear it. Okay, they're casting a chart for Nancy Guthrie and one of my astrologers or friends lives in Tucson and she's really outstanding at her work. Forensic astrology is when you cast charts to like find people who have gone missing or if somebody's been murdered to find the remains and so on and so forth. So my phone's kind of blowing up because people are like going back and forth over this information.

And also with the files and all that stuff. And yeah, astrology is pretty much billionaires use it. Millionaires don't, but billionaires do. I mean, it's true. So where's, uh, hold on. We're not moving past that. So you're telling me that the world is. Because we know the world's run by billionaires.

We can accept that. So you're telling me that astrologers are running the world then. Pretty much. Got it. I mean, most billionaires have high magicians working for them if they're not high magicians themselves. What do you mean high magicians? Like, what?

I mean, like, they smoke the store bought weed. Okay. Okay. But they're actual magicians. Like, what are you, what do you? Charles. Charles. We're not children.

We all know, right? Don't we? Don't we all know this? No. Billionaires have high magicians, you said, working for them. I'm really implicating myself. You're not. I call into this podcast, like hoping to just see if I was right about that girl in your life, which I was.

and now I'm like getting myself into trouble saying all this trouble safe space safe space what do you mean by a high magician are we talking the Illuminati what are we talking probably yeah I just think that you know there's a lot of high magic that is architecting our reality I mean we got the Mason's we got the Illuminati we got white hats we got dark hats we got very dark hats we have people in the shadows we have people in the light but at the end of the the day, I honestly believe that the billionaires are looking at the astrological weather. They probably pull a tarot card or two just to reinforce their own information. But astrology is like watching the weather. So just like you and I watch the weather to decide when to go skiing or when to bring an umbrella when we go out, those who are kind of like architecting the world that we all live. And that's why it's called occult. That's why it's a cult of knowledge because it's hidden.

It's hidden from normal people like us. How can we, how can we make our life bad for the billionaires? How can we stop what they're doing? Hmm. I don't think we need to make life bad for the billionaires in order to make life better for us. Okay. How do we make life better for us? Because the billionaires seem to be making life.

pretty complicated for most people. It's true. That's true. I think that the way that we make life better for us is to is what is what's naturally happening right now. You know, Saturn is about to go into Aries on Friday the 13th. Like you can't make this shit up. This Friday, Friday the 13th, Saturn is going into Aries.

Saturn has been in Pisces for the past like two and a half years. Pisces is assigned. that has to do with like fogginess, water, nebulousness, like things happening in the shadows, people drinking too much. Everybody who's in charge is freaking on drugs, you know, they're just like checked out. They don't give a shit, you know? But then when Saturn goes into Ares, that's when the hens are going to come home to ruse. That's when daddy comes back home.

Saturn is father energy, father time. And Saturn is going to start like asking for receipts. And like all this shit will come out from the shadows. and normies are going to lose their fucking mind. Cool. I mean, that was a great monologue. I got a question for you. Could it be that if you make enough sweeping generalizations,

you're going to end up right a lot of the time. And when you aren't right, you just say, oh, well, it's like weather. It could be raining and then all of a sudden it's not. Yeah. Yeah, you can do that. I mean, is that not what all of this is, is just sweeping generalizations? And because at any point in history, you could say that there were people in the shadows. And then there was like people coming home and stuff getting exposed.

You pick any date throughout the entire calendar year and something like that is probably happening. That could be. That could be. There are like epochs, though, and eras, though, that have a certain flavor to them. Like, for example, you can see the Pluto generations, right? Like, there's a huge difference between like our generation and the ones younger than us and then the ones before us. Like generation X, well, I'm assuming we're like kind of the same generation. I'm probably older than you guys.

But astrology is not a sweeping generalization. Astrology is definitely a very specific mathematical calculation. tarot tarot cards though those are way more open to interpretation and yeah like i leave it up to the client when they see the cards they're the ones that are interpreting it i'm just facilitating the process all i'm doing is helping people get in touch with their own intuition so that when they see symbols or when they recognize numbers or things popping up in their life then they can have that synchronicity moment. Yeah, it's basically like, you know, just assisting them strengthening what they already believe.

Exactly. Like, you already know everything inside of you. I'm just here to help pull it out of you. So when the billionaires go, I need to destroy this industry and make things really unaffordable for people. Then they pull a tarot card and then they go, wow, you were so right. Pay me my $100,000. That's what you.

That's what you're telling me what's going on with the billionaires. I think that they consult an astrology chart probably more than they consult the taro. But if they do consult the taro, they're probably consulting the Golden Dawn or the Taft darrow. Yeah, that's I was thinking. You guys know what I mean. Oh, yeah. So why you said that the astrology, you basically alluded to the fact that astrology charts are rooted in science and Is that correct?

I wouldn't say science, but I would say data. Okay. So how does that work? And why is it more accurate and not sweeping generalizations? Because we have about, gosh, you know, like for example, Saturn and Neptune are meeting at zero degrees areas on the 20th of this month. And that will be the first time in 6,500 years that's happened. So we can go back through history and say, okay, the last time that Saturn and Neptune met at 0 degrees, Ares, what happened? Or the last time Saturn entered the sign of Ares, what happened?

And the astrology now is... Since we know exactly what happened 6,500 years ago, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they have translated in the mid-90s, they translated ancient Mesopotamian texts and Babylonian astrological texts. So I think that those were excavated back, I don't know, it does span a few thousand years. I might not be exact on the dates, but right now our astrology is almost, it's very, very similar to the astrology that we had during the Civil War. in the United States.

So a lot of astrologers are looking. That's reassuring. Yeah. Yeah, it's really, yeah. I mean, shit. Party on, man. I got my PBR. I'm ready.

So what happens if we don't have a civil war? I'm too old to get drafted. We won't have a civil war like that, but we are seeing echoes of that kind of behavior in certain parts of the country. You know, people, brother against brother. I mean, but we've always had, Like, you look anywhere, you can see that.

You know? We haven't, we haven't always had this Minnesota stuff, though, and we haven't always had this. I know, but you're just, you're just cherry picking to top headlines, you know what I mean? Well, I do think, I do think, though. It's just a mirror. It just reflects. Things, that things have gotten more, like, divisive. Like, in the 90s.

Well, the question is, are we more divisive or are we now have social media so everything gets more polarizing, not necessarily divisive? I think it's all of that. I think that astrology is like a tool. It's like a mirror. You look in the mirror. You don't blame the mirror for what you see. You know? Well, unless it's a funhouse mirror.

Well, it is. This astrology is a fucking funhouse mirror. I'll tell you what. I think regardless, if we're more polarized, though, then we are more divisive. But, yes, technology is amplifying that. Yeah. I mean, I think it all, it all comes.

It's all everything, you know. And I was telling this to my mentor the other day. I'm like, dude, I'm such a freaking weirdo. I don't think people understand what I do until I do it. And then they see it happen like while I'm actually doing it. Like me pulling cards for you guys like this on a podcast with a beer in my hand. I mean, we're having fun. We're doing the best we can.

But like for serious intuitive channeling work, like you need to be on your game. you need to be in a space. You know what I mean? Yeah. You'll see, Miles. Once you book your, your astrology reading, you'll see.

Okay. Yeah, I mean, you can just, you can mark me down as a big time skeptic of all things, astrology. It doesn't mean that I'm right, but I just seems, um, I believe in randomness is what I believe in,

actually. I do too. I'm a skeptic too. Like I, I am actually a psychic. Like, I'm really psychic, you know? And whenever anything happens, I'm like, ah, like, I'm, like, I'm, like, staying at this really cute place right now.

I'm kind of doing some traveling. And I was talking to my dad the other day, and, like, the shower curtain rod, like, fell down super loud at, like, 3.30 in the morning the other day. And he was like, oh, spirits, huh? and I'm like, no. Like, that shit doesn't happen. You know what I mean? Like, I don't believe in it either.

You're talking to your dad at 3.30 in the morning? No, I talked to him the next day. Oh. And I was telling him. And he's like, oh, there must be spirits in the place. I'm like, no. I know, but you doing astrology and tarot cards and saying that you're a skeptic is like me being like, well, you know, well, I'm sleeping.

I don't drink alcohol. So I'm not an alcoholic. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying that like I come from an academic background and I'm pretty, you know, it takes a lot. It takes a lot to like convince me too. And what I'm saying is that I'm convinced, even I'm convinced. So. All right.

Well, I'm hard to convince. Well, I, listen, I think that, you know, it's kind of like what you see in the cards says more about you than the card. sometimes so I get that but if you're a psychic what's going to happen in the next week that's why I don't ask the client what their question is is because I don't want to see your cards for you I want you to just for yourself like I don't I don't want to make an impression like I want to get out of the way and let you talk to your own intuition the way you want that's why I don't ask the question I forgot to answer that before yeah so miles why are you so resistant to your intuition is really the real question here?

I think Miles has great intuition. I think Miles is a natural. Miles, do you have dreams? Like, do I dream at night? Yeah, I do. What did you dream about last night, Miles? I don't remember. That's kind of how dreams work sometimes.

I know I was dreaming. I think that you, I think that, I think that sometimes people who have the gifts are the most resistant to it. So you're saying I have the gift of psychic abilities. I think we all do. Okay. I'm going to tell my wife that. I think we all do.

When I tell her that she's pregnant and be like, no, trust me, I'm a psycho. She said that I have psychic abilities. I think you do. I think you do. I think we all do. And I think that's the greatest secret of all that these billionaires hide from people is that we all are able to access this information. It's just been hidden from ourselves.

It's in you. You can do it. It's just like having a sensitization. or smell. Some people have a stronger sense of smell. Some people can't smell at all, but most of us can smell at least a little. And I think that all of us have psychic abilities at least a little. And it's a powerful tool to be able to access. You know, when you, when you go into a situation and you could feel your gut, like just telling you like, no, no, no, don't do it. Don't sign the contract. You don't need to have data. You don't need to have proof. But if you're, if you're

you're a person like me, you like to have data, you like to have proof. Well, I've made a lot of freaking mistakes, not trusting my intuition. Right, but intuition is a lot different than what's going on with Saturn and Uranus, you know? Saturn's in your anus. My anus is fine. You know, I will trust any tarot card reader that can make a good Uranus joke. Let me just say that. I'm all about that. Well, give us another shout out to your business here before we let you go. Esperanza Bensei Terro. Okay.

All right. I love you guys so much. No. We love you. And I appreciate you letting me grill you on sweeping generalizations. I appreciate that. I hope that episode was funny for the people. Oh, yeah.

I mean, we found out Miles is going to have another child. Yeah, I was just saying, I got to call my wife and tell her we're pregnant. Stop. Stop. You said that, not me. Well, we're just, you said that, Mr. Psychic. I am just pulling the cards. I'm just sitting here pulling cards. But no, thanks so much for taking the call, you know.

And congratulations, Charlie, on your upcoming nuptials. Wow. And congratulations you, two miles on your upcoming baby. Yeah. Thank you very much. You're getting married. I'm having another kid. Hey, Miles, we're moving forward one foot ahead of the time. And you know what? Saturn's in retrograde.

So thank you, Patty. Can I say something really quick? Yeah, please. Hey, man, for all the people out there that have like a serious cognitive disconnect between believing in God and believing in esoteric arts, I believe in God and I've read the Bible a lot. And I mean, in the Bible, you're not supposed to like predict the future. You're supposed to let God, God be God.

But in the Bible, it doesn't say anything about like not using your intuition or trusting in your dreams. And the Bible is entirely a book of like supernatural experiences and premonitions. So just throwing it out there. that like these are facts it's it's not of the devil like what i do is not of the devil do listen patty you think because you got two catholic boys who are going to play you out by singing on eagle's wings that we think you're of the devil no you don't want your followers freaking coming for me dude did they come for you before no i don't know i don't really pay attention i don't really care but i just want people to know that like if they're thinking about

you know pulling a card or two like it's fine like you know it's fine yeah yeah no and we we would well we would advise do you i pull a card i don't give a shit i did today yeah you did i did the last time it's good you know we're not afraid of this we're not afraid of this right now i ain't afraid to know i ain't afraid no cards no heck well i love you i should i take a picture of the cards and yeah yeah send them on old Instagram or something. Yeah, it'd be great. All right, love you, bye.

Love you, bye-bye. And I will raise you up on eagle's wings. Bring you to shine like the sun and hold you in the palm of your palm of your. your hand. Well, if Anne's actually pregnant, that would be that I got to really start rethinking the skepticism. We got to bring her

in person. We got to have every episode. She has been glowing lately. Anne has? Yeah. Oh, that's fairly sweet of you to say. All right. So we do another car. Jared, cut that clip, send it to tan. Miles, Miles, Miles. This is the fake spring part of winter

where the sun comes out and everybody thinks it's safe, but the sidewalks and the drive. Are they really safe or are they just slushy little messes hiding sheets of ice underneath? You step outside, feeling confident, but you take one step and flash, boom, bang. You're flat on your ass, staring at the sky while your wrist shoulder hip are screaming. No. Happens faster and hurts even faster. If a normal day turns into a real slip and fall injury because of icy conditions, let me tell you Miles, Nicolay is who you want to call.

1855 Nicolay, Nicolaylaw.com. Ladies and gentlemen, give Russell Nicolay a call. What are you looking at there? Looking at these boots, thinking how many kilometers I could walk in these? Well, this is America, Charlie. I know, but I didn't want to take your name in vain. Guys, right now, Brunt, he's got some boots for you. And what I like about these, no shoelaces.

These bad boys are slip-ons. I love a good slip-on. You know, yeah. It's nice. It's nice because the anxiety of tying the shoelaces sometimes can get to you. Yeah, and even Velcro's too much for me. You know, I prefer the slip-on over the strap-on. I mean, these are slipper boots.

Yeah. You know, strap-ons for me are not always something to be fearful of. So, guys, if you love a good slip on, you know, like my dad, you reach a certain point in your life, you just, you're done bending over. You're like, honey, I'm not bending over anymore. Yeah, like my dad hasn't bent over in like 15 years. And so these shoes are for him. And maybe you're a 30 year old guy. You're like, you know what?

That sounds like a good plan. I'm done bending over. I'm going to save my bending joints. Yeah. And so, Bruns got your back. They got these awesome slip-on boots. They look good. They feel good.

There's no break in period. They just come. They're comfortable right out of the box. They hold up. So, guys, if you are in some need of some new boots, maybe want to try the slip-ons. Right now for a limited time, you guys can get $10 off at Brunt when you use code bellied up at checkout. All you got to do is head to bruntworkware.com.

Use code bellied up and you're good to go. And after your order. They'll ask you where you heard about Brunt. Do his favor. Thomas from Bellied Up podcast. Yeah. 10 bucks, man. Sign me up.

Hi, Rachel. Hi, Rachel. What's going on, guys? Not much. Just sitting back, taking callers. What are you doing? Well, nothing much. Just waiting for your call here.

I got hopefully a good amount of time here. So I'm excited to talk to you guys. Okay. Bellion up to the bar, Rachel. What's on, what's on your mind? Well, first of all, where are you guys billied up to today? We're at my office right now. We're at the office bar.

Yeah, I got a bar in my office and schedule. That's when you know he's made it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we did make the bar, actually. Yeah. Well, I guess anyone can do it. But, hey, that's when you got to say, all right, I did pretty well for myself.

Okay. Hey, something to take in, Miles, right? She's up here gassing you up. I like that. All right, Rachel. Yeah. Just gas miles up. That's fine.

That's cool. I think we're done for the day. Yeah. All right, Rachel. I will send you your wire transfer immediately after this. You did a great job. Awesome. Thanks.

Appreciate it. All right. You call me when you need another one. Put some unleaded in that tank. Okay. Hey, so glad you're calling. I got quite the predicament over here. Okay.

We've got, um, so my husband and I moved in to our house like a year or a little over a year ago. All right. And we love it. We moved back to where we're kind of both from. Um, but we, and first homeowner things. We work super hard on our house. Like we, we're trying to, I don't know, be here for a while. So we're working hard, but the house next to us is like, imagine the house that you, that you like,

like super fast by when you were a kid that you were afraid of because it was really creepy looking and run down. Yeah, it's a piece of shit. Yeah, right. It's like everyone's afraid of it. You think it's haunted. That's what the house next to us looks like. It's so, it's so run down.

There's holes everywhere. Like this, it's got one of those like nasty green flickering lights out front. Just not a great, not a great looking house. Super creepy, super run down. However,

we know like the stories of this guy owns his house. He's probably, my parents age, probably like 50s. It was his child. at home, but like he lives somewhere else now, but he still owns the house. So every once in a while, like every couple days he'll come over and do some things to the house, but like doesn't do any actual improvements. He kind of just like tinkers. But we found out from other neighbors that he

redid the garage just a few years back. And it is the most beautiful, beautiful garage. Like you, like two stories. He's in there all the time working on stuff. And so my husband, and I are sitting here thinking, okay, how can we either get the city to condemn, well, it sounds so harsh, but like to condemn this house, try to get the city to say, okay, dude, you either have to fix up the house or sell it. Because now we're dealing with like rodents in our house and all this stuff because of this house. So it's, hey, what do we do? Well, yeah, I mean, make this guy sell his childhood home. I think that's the

only thing you can do right now. The bury his memories. Yeah. Or blow him up. Whatever you want to do. We don't give a shit. Just take a wrecking ball to his childhood memories. I came in like a wrecking ball. It's so sad. I know. I know. And that's where it's like,

I have a soft spot for him. Have you been inside the house? No, because that's also creepy. Because All of his shades are drawn. He's got like, he's got this weird, again, these weird, like lights on in the back. And every so often he'll come and, like, bring bags in and out of the house.

And it's just a very sketchy scenario. But no, we haven't been inside the house because it's always dark and no one's there. So why don't you just do a B&E? We try not to go to jail. I'd like to not end up in prison. He doesn't have a security system. He's got holes in the walls, you know? I guess, but it's funny because my husband said that.

He was like, Rachel, I'm so bad. Just want to go in there and see what it's about. Just do it. Yeah, just get in there. Just do it. Yes. You guys already got the white picket fence. You're going to do the same shit for every day for the rest of your life.

There's going to be no more excitement left in your life. Feel something again. Here's what you do. Feel something again. Here's what you do. I tell you exactly I'd do it. You catch one of the rats in your house because of this guy. Okay, you got him in the trap.

And then you go over there, you knock on the door to return this guy's pet. And when he doesn't answer, you let the rat go. The rat will find the easiest way into the house. You file the rat in through the hole in the wall. And boom, you're in. I also have a question, though, before you break in. Did you not see this home there? That was a question that popped into my mind.

I was filing away from later. Yeah. Yes. Yes, the thing is, obviously, but there's never, so where we live. Like, we got a steal of a deal. I wonder why. Yes. So, yes, absolutely.

But also, it's so hard to get a house in this like downtown grid of this town where we live. And the downtown area is so, so cute. And so we were like, all right, when are we ever in our early mid-20s going to get down here? And so we're like, this is our shot. So hence, well, also we were crazy because, like, my daughter was six weeks old when we bought the house and moved. So there was a lot going on. But, but we were like, all right, we'll buy the house with this gross house looking next to it in hopes that someday he'll go, okay, it's beyond repair. I got to tear it down.

But it hasn't happened yet. So have you ever talked to the guy? So yes. And he's a nice enough guy. like he's pretty he I don't know he's nice he's like he's normal but he just

I don't know he comes and he does like the like he keeps he does just the typical dad thing where he'll come like quote unquote fix something outside the house and it won't do anything but then like he'll be in his garage for hours like late into the night well this is this is how your next conversation should go with him you're ready charlie yeah I'll play him guy

I'll be I'll be your husband, okay. Hey there, neighbor. Oh, hey. How are we doing? Oh, God. I'm good. Sorry, I got blood on my hands.

Oh, that's, uh, don't worry about it. Yeah, you go hunting or something back there. Yeah, you could call it that. Okay. Um, pretty nice new garage you got. Yeah, isn't she beautiful? Wow. I took my whole life savings to put this sucker up.

Your whole, like all of your money went into the garage. Every single dime I got right into that garage. Oh, God. Okay. You know, this is my childhood home, actually. I heard that. Yeah. And so ever since my mother passed away.

Did she now? Yeah, I wanted to leave it exactly the way she left it. Was she pretty sick? Did she die in the hospital or? Well, I killed her. But the point is that I just... Like you mean you killed her like because you moved away and you broke her heart? 22, which you wouldn't think would do it, but it does have some stopping power.

What I'm telling you about this house is I want to leave it exactly the way it was there when she passed. And just let nature take its course. So wait, you're saying you killed your own mother. Cold blood. Sure did. With the 22 in that house? Basement. Yes. The basement.

Yep. Okay. Yeah. So do you have any plans for the house? I'm telling you the plan. If you'd listen, the plan is to leave it as it exactly was when my mother died and just let nature. take its course on the house. So my mother can die, be buried in the most natural way possible.

She always said I wanted to, I wanted to be one with the house. And so I don't go in there, but I built this sick-ass garage. You want a beer? Yeah. I mean, in a really weird, twisted way, that actually kind of makes sense. Doesn't it? Yeah. Because she turned that house into a home, didn't she?

She did. Her forever home. Her forever home. That's what she said when she bought it, right? This is my forever home. and you took it literally. Yep. 100%.

All right. Is that what that smell is then? Dead body, rotting body. There's a few more down there. There were people who lived here before. They wanted to come and get me to change a bunch of things, do the gutters. I said, all right, all right.

So I shot them two. Okay. 22. That's one way to do it. A lot of stopping power with a 22. You wouldn't think it would, but it gets more than squirrels, I tell you. You must be at point blank range.

Yeah, I would say they were about standing the same distance as me to you. Oh, wow. And, you know, you didn't mention, do you store the, that 22 on the premises or? Oh, you mean this 22? Oh, wow. God, that, Jesus. Yeah, it's a long barrel, Henry. Yeah, I could tell you that the, the barrel of this thing is clean.

Oh, yeah. Clean this thing. Yeah, no print something. on it right now. Okay. I'm going to go back inside if that's cool with you. Before you do, you want to touch this gun? Just, you want to get just.

Oh, God, you know, I'm allergic to metal. Give it a go. I'm allergic to metal. Hot potato. Oh, God. Okay. Okay. Great.

Let me just grab this rag. I'll take that gun back from you. The police are going to want you down at the station pretty soon. What was your name again? Didn't say. Okay. Didn't say. Must be French.

All right. Good to meet you. so so that's how you want to do it oh yeah that sounds that's that's a way that's the way to do it what is i know that you and your husband have a very large conspiracy going on that you guys talk about already kind of uh you laid it out for us with the garbage bags i know that that's a piece of it so tell us what is your conspiracy about what this guy's up to and what's his story the thing is i just tell us the conspiracy.

I think you've got to get hard. There's got to be some something fishy happening in that house. I know what do you guys things happening? You laid it out. You laid it out perfectly. There has to be some sort of crimes being like he's dragging something in and he's dragging something out.

And I don't want to. Did you have them over for dinner? No, I'm too afraid. How long have you talked? to them for? Probably a handful of times every time like five or ten minutes. Now, here's the thing. You know, Charlie, I don't know if you've gotten this advice in your life, but you always

want to be nice to the weird kid in school. You know what I mean? Sure do. And so I think you guys really need to consider that. I imagine every other neighbor in the neighborhood has been steering clear of this guy. And he's going to remember that. Yeah, it's true. It's true.

We really shouldn't. But the thing is, he doesn't live there. He lives in the next town over. Well, would you live in a house with dead bodies in the basement? No, I know. Come on. Well, when are I supposed to catch this guy and ask? And ask.

You're going to catch him? No, like talk to it. Also, I have like kids. So I'm kind of not, I'm like, hey, man, maybe not. Maybe don't come in there. Maybe we'll have a picnic outside in the summertime. Well, I'm not trying to do it when your kids are at school. Well, I have little kids, so that probably wouldn't work, like a one-year-olds.

Well, why don't you guys just go over there and start fixing it up for them? Just cut. Yeah. What's the big? You cut the grass, you know, you replace some exterior stuff, make it look somewhat presentable. And always present it. Your husband and presents. Hey, I just got this new.

Yes. Tool. And I'm really jacked about it. And I did my house already. Can I just come do yours? The thing is, guys, I don't. I don't think you're like you need to think in your head how like imagine how unfixable this house is. Like it is so beyond repair.

What town are we talking? To get inside the house to see what's going on. What town is this? This is Vakonia, Minnesota. Wiconia, Minnesota. It's out by like, I don't know what information. Are you going to look it up on Google Street View? Yeah.

I want to see how bad this thing looks. Hey, we'll bleep out your address. We'll cut it out. Yeah. Let me just, I just got to see what, oh, you're right over there

by Lake Oconia. You're, how, you're, okay. You got to be kidding me. That's a great, you know Lake Ocone. Yeah. There's other stuff that's by there.

Well, Miles, it's great duck hunting over at the, uh, Wahibo Marsh, obviously, if you can get it.

No, that just became a marsh a couple years ago. Well, you got to, you guys, every marsh has got to start. no. Hey, listen, you don't know.

I was talking to the folks over at the Wiconia State Wildlife Management area, and they said it's great duck hunting. They're just getting them ready over there. Hey, what do I know, I guess? I mean, I guess. Now, there was also a student over there in Crown College that I was chit-chatting with. And they said that you got to get over to the Schramm vineyards, winery and brewery. Which is awesome.

Yeah, it is awesome. They got a nice new. They got a nice new. logger they've been brewing up and uh sometimes you know i remember i don't know how you laughed for i had a logger over there he's just winding me up this is my favorite bit of yours and afterwards i went over that culvers right off the main drag what do you call it again that main drag there oh the uh the augy miller memorial highway is that it no locals call it highway five but that's okay well i was just i was just i was just reading the signs when I was over there.

Well, anyways, listen, we'll come into town. We'll go over to egg, et cetera, get a nice omelet next time I'm there. I don't think you want to do that. Well, that was a test to see if you were truly a local. Charlie, you knew that. I knew that. What street are you on over there? I forget.

You guys, I'm not telling you my address on a podcast. We'll go unless you bleep it out. We'll bleep it out, we'll 100% not put your address in the podcast. I just want to look at this house. Okay, okay. So address is. So we're on the corner lot. And the house is obviously right next to us.

There's no other house there. But I'm curious what like you're looking up because I wonder. Well, you know, it's in such crappy condition. I bet you it looks the same. Okay. So you're the blue house? Yeah, we're in the blue one. Okay.

That looks nice. Yeah. I mean, I think you're, I think you're being a little dramatic about the house. You know, you get you get SB. mowing over there to clean up the landscaping and and you're going to be sitting pretty in a new fresh paint job. I think it's good to go. Yeah, what's your name of the painter over there, Miles?

SB painting. Oh, SB painting. Yeah. Now also, you all honestly, he's got patio furniture out there. What can you, what's wrong with this place? Yeah, this house isn't that bad. This looks like Charlie's duplex. Hey. You guys, are you not seen i can't i like i hope this is oh i see the garage in the back that thing is nice that is a nice garage my gosh you guys haven't gotten an invite into the garage yet i know unbelievable

he's got the purple flowers out front look at that beautiful vine growing out of the front door i mean i don't know if you guys can really be talking look at this giant patch of dirt that's there and no grass would you guys bury a body in the front yard Jesus christ You got a tree dying out front, you know, you got one landscaping rock. We took all that out. You know that Bible passage about pulling the beam out of your own eye before you get the speck of dust out of your neighbors? You cast the first stone, stone be without sin. God, look at that garage.

This is clearly from a few years ago before we lived here. So we've done a lot of work on the outside. Anyways. Oh, God, I didn't. You guys are big Joe Polunik for city council people, huh? Nope. Don't know who that is. What do you mean?

You have a sign in your front yard, but for Joe, for city council. I really think this view must have been from a while ago. Look, you got the nice welcome sign out front. No, see, that was the old owner. That was the old owners. I would be honest, they had full grass and they looked wigs. more welcoming than what you guys got going on. Okay, guys, listen, this house

has got whole, I think, I don't know if you can see it from your view. Can you see the holes in the roof? You know, I see. I see what you're talking about. There's nothing that a little, uh, extra roofing job can't fix a little extra pay. We'll call SB roofing. Yeah. Just give SB roofing a call. Get the land. And it's fine. And maybe we'll get a stump removal to get that.

Although maybe. Stump removal will come over. That stump, you just, honestly, you just cut it, cut half of it off. You make a little lawn chair out of that thing. In our yard? No, in their yard. Oh, yeah.

Get out the chainsaw. Do you want to, did you go over there and ask him if you could help out with his house? No, because I never, like, he's there such weird hours. Like the other night, I was up with our daughter at like 3 a.m. And he was in his garage working. What was he working on?

I don't know. This is what's creepy. It's like, all right, what are you doing in there? And why are you every so often pulling something into your house? Like, what's going on? It's also a huge kick to the nuts because his, his lot, he didn't, his house is not centered on the lot. It's all the way pushed to your side, which is extra funny. This is the bedroom with the murderers view.

The thing is, too, every, like, storm or snow or whatever, we see one of his gutters is perfectly lined up so that everything runs into this hole in his roof. And so I'm thinking, okay, there is so much water damage and other sorts of damage on the inside of this house. Like, I don't even, like, I would get asbestos just walking in there. Like, I'd breathe in stuff, just walking in there. Yeah. So I don't know what to do. Well, you can see why he's not going in the house. Yeah.

he's not going to put his life at danger. Yeah. I mean, he just... How do we get him to think, all right, you know what? Life is going on. Well, why didn't you call Joe... Why don't you call Joe Pellaneski on the city council? And have him come take a look at the property.

Yeah, tell him that your house was instrumental in getting his ass elected. Mm-hmm. Yes. What does the other neighbor think of it? Have you talked to the other neighbor? Yeah, but I'm not going to like shit talk. the one neighbor in the middle. No.

I'm trying to... Yeah, just call a podcast and really tear my new asshole. See? I'm hoping he doesn't listen to this one. The creepy murder guy, he thinks listening to Bellied Up. Yeah, I don't know. I hope not for you guys. Could be, yeah.

He's got a tree growing out of the living room. Charlie does look like Jeffrey Dahmer. I do when I know where my glasses are, which I don't right now. You still haven't found them. I lose them every week. It's a little game I play for myself. Yeah, this is, well, he's got cushions on his patio furniture yet still. Yeah, the moths haven't eaten through those ones yet.

Oh, I see you got a nice little kid swing in the back. That's a nice little added touch. Yeah, yeah. There's something. I like how we're just pouring over every detail of her life right now. You know, I don't know. if I'd have gone with those shrubs in the front of the house, you know, it kind of is dominating the one side, but maybe some hydrangeas next time.

Yeah, it's a great option. Once again, this is a picture for not ours. Your hedge needs to get shaped up a little bit. Also, that railing by your side sidewalk looks a little sketchy. I'd maybe look into that and I get that getting that thing fixed, especially as your kids get older here. Yeah, we'll do. I'll put that on my list.

It seems I'm done helping this guy fix up. Why don't you just go over there, you guys phone number. Next time you see him get his phone number and just give him a call and say, hey, listen, your house needs a little help. We can help you with the yard work. Just offer your help and just feel out what his plans are for the house because maybe he has plans you don't know about. Yeah, that's true.

I got to hear him out. Why don't you play concerned neighbor and say, hey, I don't know if you're aware of it. There's a hole in your roof and we saw water pouring into there. Do you need to call a restoration place? You call SB Restoration SB Restoration Oh here's what you can also do

You can put in a call to the police And say I heard a loud scream inside this house Could you do a wellness check? Just do a wellness check, yeah Yeah Have the police do a wellness check in the house Yeah Yeah but then they're not gonna what if they don't find anything

And then they're like why the heck to give us a call Well they'll at least tell you if there's dead bodies in the house or not You just go sorry officer We were just really worried and we heard something and so thank you for your service and tell Joe at the city council he says hi. Yeah. Yeah, with a little shoebox of money. Bribes your city council people.

Come on. Do what the billionaires do. Just bribe the local politicians. You can do whatever you want. Is your husband a smoker of any sort? Sure it would be a shame if he flicked a cigarette butt across the property line. Shortly after pouring gasoline. After he tripped and fell putting gas into his mower.

Yeah, I guess the thing is I've called city council twice. What'd they say? They don't get back to me. No. NARC. Oh, your city council, they don't get back to you? No. I don't want to, I'm not trying not to be a NARC, as Miles said or snitch.

No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, good luck getting a hold of the city council. That's not working. That's the thing. And so I think I just got to walk. I got to walk down there. Okay, yeah, go from NARC to Karen. I like that.

Go full Karen. Make sure you get a haircut before you get that too. Okay, so that's clearly out. Then that's clearly out. No, I think it's fine. Don't march down there. Just at the next block party, find your local representative and chew on his ear a little bit. Don't literally chew on his ear.

Just see what I can, see what he can do. Also, what's your husband doing? This sounds like a husband job. Yeah. If anything's a husband job, make him deal with this. The dirty work for God's sake. Yeah. But the thing is, it's more annoying to me because, like, he'll, this guy will come, like,

when I'm at home with our daughter. And he'll be doing, like, some crazy projects and hammering away at, like, a branch on the outside of his house. And then, like, wake up our daughter. That is an honest. And then I have to deal with, like, all this random stuff. Or, like, he has this, this pear tree. in the back in the in the backyard but every branch falls over into our yard and so he came one day he's like feel free to eat any of those pairs and we're like yeah thanks we can only eat so many though

so but then they all like fall in our yard and then the bees come and it's this whole thing i mean you i mean when life hands you pairs yeah i mean you just you guys complaining about free fresh pairs off of a tree yeah this guy seems great honestly Pear trees grow in Minnesota. Am I, is that weird? Oh, yeah, we got pairs. I didn't even knew that. I mean, you guys are sitting on,

why don't, dude, do pear lemonade with your kid to a stand out there. Yeah, I really should do that. Yeah, good idea. When life gives you pairs, you got to make pear lemonade. I think that's,

look at the benefits. And he did fix up his garage real nice. He started with the most important part of the house. He's working his way to, you know, The house. Yeah. That's true. I mean, what does your husband say about this?

He, we kind of just sit and we chat and he thinks, it's okay. We, he thinks. You're talking to Charlie? She's the way. No. He just kind of, I don't know. I mean, he thinks, you know what? So someday he'll realize that it's unlovable and unfexable.

But as of now, we're kind of just watching. watching what happens. That's what I want to be proactive. Your husband's a true Midwest man just goes, well, it is what it is. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. If you need me, I'll be in my garage. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So this is why I'm thinking, okay,

something needs to be said to this guy. But maybe I'll just, I will play the good neighbor card. Hey, man, do you need help with anything? I'll see what we can do about that rough. Bake him a pear pie. Yes,

bake him a pear pie. I walk over there and say, hey, listen, the house is falling apart. It looks like ass. What can we do here? You know? Yeah, all right. That's a good option. Yeah, we need a little bit more contact with this guy.

We need a little bit more proactive conversation. There's a way to figure this out. Or just go hang with him in the garage that doesn't look like it's got bodies in the basement, you know, and have a beer with them, figure out what he wants out of life. and there's a way to work this out. Yeah, all right. Well, we'll have to just have something good heart to hearts and hopes that he doesn't kill us.

No, we get to go. Now, for legality, I'm telling you not to go talk to him just in case he does murder you, then I don't want that to be on my conscience my whole life, you know? Yeah, I don't want that either. But if you decide it's worth the risk,

we'd love a bellied update on this. Yeah, you know what? Maybe I'll, yeah, you know what? We'll get in these good graces. We'll see who we can help them with. We'll get the outside looking a little better. Because here's the thing. Here's the thing is, you know, it's not the house isn't bothering you.

It's that he's not, he doesn't seem to notice how bad the house is. That's correct. If you talk to him and you get what his plan is or that he acknowledges that it's falling apart, that will give you some peace of mind to go a little bit longer with that house. You know what I mean? Right. Yeah. You at least like, oh, he knows and he's been figuring out what he's going to do with it.

Then you can sleep like a baby, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And don't forget. We just have a plan. Yeah. I mean, and don't forget, you bought the house knowing it was right next to a shit box. So, you know, you got to, you got to understand you at a.

I can't believe this place is so cheap. Yeah. There's not a murderer next door, right? We'll take it. How close have you been? end of the house. Can you smell bodies? Oh, no. I can't feel anything. Then you're probably fine, honestly.

Bodies will smell. Unless he's got formaldehyde drums down there. I mean, this guy sounds legit if he hasn't been caught yet. So he's not just, he's not just letting bodies rot down there. Yeah, right. I mean, watch Breaking Bad. They use the acid, put it down the drain. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a good thing to do. So it's possible. If you use the right kind of acid. Well, I'm sure, I think everything in the house is rotting. So I think that's a lot least of his worries right now. The bodies?

No, like everything else is rotting. I'm going to be honest. I don't think this guy's worried about the house at all. Why isn't he fixing it up? Because he's just not worried about it. It is what it is. You realize you're getting to look into your future here. Are fireworks legaling

with your husband, you know? I want you to know that if you, you know, God forbid this doesn't happen, but if you were to pass away before him, you realize that there are going to be him and this guy will be two peas in a pod. The house is going to shit, and the garage is going to look immaculate.

Yeah, that's the reason this hasn't been resolved. Your husband, low-key admires this guy. He's like, this guy's my hero. You know what? If he starts working on the garage, then I'll be suspicious about their newfoundment. friendship. But, all right, well, listen, as of now, I guess, shouldn't be too concerned or just trying to talk to him and see what happens. Talk to him if that doesn't work. Fourth of

July is coming up. Pay some local kids in the neighborhood to light off some roaming candles at the house and, you know, physics will take care of that. So. All right. So the last memories this guy has of his childhood, I'll just, you know, we'll leave him up to some fire. Yeah, it'll go out with a bang. Yeah. That, of course, I should legally say was a joke, meant to solicit laughter, not an actual, uh, illegal advice to give. I don't want to be an accomplice to the deal. All right. All right. We won't know. No one will say it was your idea. Yeah. I'll just get some local neighborhood kids. Bake a pair pie. Go over there. Ask him if he needs any help fixing it up. All right. Well, we'll try that. We'll try that. We'll try.

of that and then we'll give a little bellied update here for you. Perfect. Be wonderful. Well, thank you for the call. Hey, guys. Thanks for chatting. Have a nice office, office beer. We will.

We will. Thank you. Cheers. All right. See you guys. Well, Miles. That's kind of how your duplex look when you bought it, right? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, still kind of how old. You did a little bit of paint on the outside, maybe a new roof. Well, I had to redo. the exterior because it was structurally unsound as they say. Yeah, what are you doing giving advice on buying a home

next to that? You bought that. You bought the home next door. It's not that bad. I got a good deal on it. I was living in my sister's basement. I needed somewhere to go. But anyways, good luck.

Yeah, good luck. And folks, you know, your neighbor is just a stone's throw away. So instead of throwing Stone's go say hey. Love it. You like that? Yeah. So guys, we'll see you next one. Remember to tip your bartender. Okay, hope you guys have a good one. Goodbye now.

Toodaloo.
