Starting point is 00:00:00 What's going on with the, are we starting? Are we rolling? Yeah. What's going on with kickers these days, Miles? I saw a conspiracy TikTok that's saying that now kickers get the balls a day ahead of the game so they can like soften them up so they're not as hard so they can kick it better. Where there was a period of time where they would only get it on the game day and then they wouldn't be able to do that stuff. I don't know if that's true or not.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Again, it was a TikTok, but. Well, if it was a TikTok. talk it was obviously true but i mean this is what we were razzin uh what's his face for uh the good looking guy tom brady you know uh well he was deflating no no he's they're also deflating what is soft and mean miles means like they they basically may wear them in like the leather more in you know and they and they like they they mess with they they mess the leather to make it like if you watch it in like you watch a guy before his kickoff yeah he takes the point of the ball and shoves it into the ground to give it more of they try and shape it
Starting point is 00:01:05 more like a soccer ball vibe right so the less oblong it is the better i don't know i think that's what's happening yeah that's because you know if you if you start grab a fresh football i mean that thing there's nothing fun about that it's hard that hurts yeah you know um so they got all sorts of techniques to get them nice and soft so yeah are they like put them under the mattress like you know i don't know i bet you they are works for baseball gloves i think they're like taking brushes to them and stuff brushes yeah like painting them or what do you mean brush like a like a like a like a tough brush oh like a clean grout on floors oh really stuff like that like yeah okay interesting i would maybe they're smacking them a little bit to like yeah often them probably you know like
Starting point is 00:02:00 They probably smack them like me at the hardware store when I walk by the potting soil. Oh, yeah. He's got giving a nice hole. One of those guys. Do you think what would happen if you know, you gave some kickers and balls and one guy showed up with a pop ball?
Starting point is 00:02:15 Do you think your question in his techniques after that? I don't know what kind of trouble you get in for popping an NFL ball. How many balls do you get to pop before? Sure. It's a couple hundred bucks, at least a piece. It's a real pig. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Yeah. Yeah. It's pig skin, actually. Yeah, you didn't know that. They used to be stuffed with innards, the pig skins. Yeah. Is that real? Fun fact.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Do you see that on TikTok? No, I, old school TikTok, like my brother told me much. And I believed them ever since. Yeah. So. Wikipedia before it got good. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Wikipedia when it first started. Yeah. Yeah. And there was no, yeah. well guys we're back we are back we're bellied up to the bar here at the sports bar and that's fitting that we started with sports talk here at the sports bar yeah it's not often we do a little sports talk here miles but when it is it's fitting we'd be talking about kickers taking their balls home i wonder and balls it was a kickers rubbing their balls yes i and miles i don't believe no
Starting point is 00:03:20 i did get that joke i just blew past it um but i do believe miles that that's incorrect. I don't think they're going to like kickers just walk out of the stadium with a bunch. Think of all the things you could do with those balls. You could put, um, you could,
Starting point is 00:03:36 what was that one movie, um, that with the little, uh, putty that was super flexible back in the day with Eddie Murphy. Flubber. They would put flubber on the balls. We can't allow them to,
Starting point is 00:03:47 what would be the advantage to that? Putting flubber on the ball. If you put just the right amount flubber in the right spot and, oh yeah, because it's really, because it's really bouncing. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:56 All right, they're lining up for an 85-yard field goal. What's going on here, do you think? I don't know, show. It puts a hole through the stance. I forgot, I thought it was, yeah. God, we had a flubber back in the day, did you? A flubber? Oh, you could buy the, it was like Gack.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Yeah. Yeah. We didn't, we didn't get that. My cousin had that, though. And I, you would, he would let you touch it every once in a while. but the thing with flubber your cousin's flubber yeah but if you if you touch it with dirty hands
Starting point is 00:04:31 you dirty up his flubber real good like they didn't have a good way to clean that flubber no dawn wasn't quite right it worked for ducks not flubber yeah so but if you ate it how did you figure that out well we ate it and just to see what would
Starting point is 00:04:49 how it worked in the body and we figured that out starting to explain a lot yeah yeah So I got some heavy metals in me, but... That's all right. But Miles, I think that it's about that time where we take some callers.

Starting point is 00:06:08 We got Charlie Barron's here too. Hey there, Schuyler. Oh, Charlie Barron's. How are you? I'm doing good, man. How are you doing?
Starting point is 00:06:16 You can find your red breast and McGanders around lately or what? Aren't they sexy? God damn. I'm still waiting to find one. I haven't seen any yet. I haven't gone. Huh?
Starting point is 00:06:27 I was down in Beloit. Still couldn't find any. Yeah. And you get your knocks out. The weather is weird, man. The weather's weird. For God's sake, it was 90 degrees yesterday. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I know. Yeah. I got a question for you, Skyler. And I mean this in an actual curious way. Would you say that Skyler is a predominantly male name or female name? No, definitely a female name, but it's even cooler that I'm a male, right? Because up until I watched Breaking Bad, I would have said that Skyler was a guy name. Well, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I was in school. In middle school, there was five Skyler's all spelled differently. Really? That is the most millennial shit I have ever heard. Yeah, isn't it? It's crazy. I got a brother named Tyler. Tyler and Skyler, huh?
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yeah, yeah, I said that one fast. Tyler, Skyler. Because, you know, you think about Charlie. Charlie, in my mind, it's a male dominated name. Charlie is a girl name. But most people named Charlie are guys. But Skyler,
Starting point is 00:07:33 I just don't know. Maybe if he switched the seed to a K and be different for Charlie. That would be Carly. Miles, why'd you quit pouring concrete? Miles, what? Have you ever poured
Starting point is 00:07:49 concrete? 19 years strong. And if you had the option to make a career out of posting videos on the internet while drinking beer with some of your best buds, would you do that? Or would you rather work concrete every single day? I mean, I love pouring concrete, bud. He would, he would do it. He loves corn concrete. Yeah. So funny stories. I amputated some fingers not too long ago. Oh. It's still sad. I can't pour I'm pouring concrete now.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Okay. I didn't think I was going to be able to. Oh, man. Okay, lots of questions. One, how did it happen? Two, did you amputated or the doctor? And number three, did you get a bag from getting hurt on the job site? So I did the amputation.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It was on the job. Use of a circular assault. Just hit a knock, kick back. Oh, yeah. I broke the number one rule. I put my fingers where I shouldn't have put my pecker. know. But no, now I can only count the nine. So it's just one. Oh, you only lost one. That's not that. And a half. One half. And a half. So really eight and a half. Which one? My ring finger on your
Starting point is 00:09:09 on your left hand or right hand. Left hand. Okay. Okay. That's a great set up. Yeah. Since I only got the three fingers, since I only got the three fingers, I'm going to be like, well, I might have just tattoo ope on it. That's not a bad idea. They're married to the game. Yeah. So it happened in Wisconsin? That's definitely an oak, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's an oak. It's definitely an oak. And then you lost half your pinky too. Half my middle fingers. So if I like you, you get the middle fuck, you know.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah. I don't like you. You get the whole one. Yeah, like kind of the polite, fuck you, you know, it was like my 10. Yeah. It's like the double. A little to a horn, you know?
Starting point is 00:09:54 Yeah. He's not laying on the horn. He's just a little tooth. Yeah, just a little to. What's really driving me and saying they're like, well, how many do you need? I'm like four. Like crap, that's only three. Four.
Starting point is 00:10:07 You know, I've got to put the thumb out there now. Yeah. So what do you, you've been doing for 19 years? What kind of concrete work? We talk of flat work. We talk at basement. I love it all. But I'm a union concrete finisher now, four years strong.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Okay, four years in the union finishing, huh? Yeah, yeah, I love it every minute of it. That's great. Hey, did you keep your finger? So for 14 years, you were just, you're doing the grunt work or no? No, no, I was just non-union. That way you can still party, you know what I mean? Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:10:44 When they're like, oh, how long are going to take you to finish this floor? You'd be like, oh, about a 12-pack, you know? Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about. we were we were well-behaved concrete crew though we only would drink on the days where we had to strip a wall you know oh yeah that's all just throwing panels around that he doesn't take actually any uh skills so we were if you're a wall guy you don't really got a lot of brains you need one guy with the brains and the rest are a bunch of you know I I can agree but dude I did some flat work I helped a buddy pour a patio a few weeks ago
Starting point is 00:11:20 and I look that's right I heard yeah me and my brother and I looked at him and I said holy shit flat work is the easiest thing on earth dude I love pulling the board it's it's regardless of what you're doing pulling board pulling the come alongs whether you're you know finishing it's it's so easy compared to putting up a basement did you find yourself miles when you were back there back in the game was there a piece of you was there a piece of you that said maybe a few more times well i just if it felt good you know it's like uh like if i had to do it for a month straight i probably wouldn't have the same feeling but it did there was a lot of
Starting point is 00:12:02 excitement for getting back in the game got going because once in a while i do sit in in the office and think about like got to be nice to get back out there yeah then you lost that weight so the belly's not in your way and maybe that was it maybe i was like holy shit last time i did this i was like 60 pounds heavier. This is easy now. Yeah, dude, I've gained 30 pounds since the injury. Now I've got to work it all back off. So why would you... How is losing a finger?
Starting point is 00:12:30 It's not like you amputated your leg. Well, yeah, I know, but I wasn't working, so I wasn't moving. Oh, okay. It's like, you literally lost weight with them. Does it take you two hands to run a burner trawl? Come on, dude. You could have been
Starting point is 00:12:45 out there. I'm working circles around people behind my back. Oh, okay. Spoken like a true concrete guy. Hey, I'm one-handed. Did you, Skyler, what did you do with your finger? Dude, I tried to keep them. They wouldn't let me.
Starting point is 00:13:00 What? Why? Yeah, I'm like, they're mine, you know? Like, why can I keep them? Let's just pickle them in the, you know, just pickle them for me. Yeah. What do you mean? They can't take your fingers, dude.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Just a little finger and some sourcrow maybe? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, when I'm in there, I'm in the emergency room, you know, and I got such a dry mouth. I'm like, hey, guys, give me something to drink. I'm like, oh, we can't give you anything to drink. I'm like, well, crap. Well, well, one of you guys spit my mouth for me?
Starting point is 00:13:27 Like, I'm not into that thing, but like, but you could be like, yeah, I could be right now. You know, you never know. Wow. How is that relevant? It seems like you were just trying to, you were just trying to tell us that you told someone to spit in your mouth and you just kind of, yeah, it was pretty funny. I was trying to think of my fingers cut off. The whole time he was waiting for the car.
Starting point is 00:13:49 He's like, all right, how can I work the spit, spit in my mouth? No, no, I definitely was. I had to figure out, you know? He bobbed and weaved a little bit in there, but just couldn't hold it in any longer. And he didn't want to tell us about the fingers because of the story. He just wanted to get into the spit in my mouth joke. Yeah, which I love. I love that about Skyler.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Well, you guys, did you like the Amish joke I called in about? You guys had that Mennonite on, you know, a couple weeks. I was not told about the Amish joke. well how many men does it take the pleased an Amish woman I don't know two men a night that's good
Starting point is 00:14:30 that's real good actually much more family friendly than I thought you know you can say that one in church yeah yeah you gotta confess it but you can say it quietly I tried to tell it to an obvious guy
Starting point is 00:14:43 he didn't quite understand I guess well you got to tell them in German I'm sorry Pennsylvania German or whatever. Yeah, Dutch, Pennsylvania Dutch. Pennsylvania Dutch. Okay, why can't you keep your finger? I don't know. I never got the question. Well, that was your problem. You should have just said you lost them, you know? Yeah. Well, I didn't even think that I'll grab my fingers, to be honest. Well, who grabbed them? What were you thinking about? If you weren't
Starting point is 00:15:10 thinking about your fingers. One rode with me in the salt still and the other one, someone left, you know, someone brought it behind. So wait, you brought it. the saw with you in the ambulance? Yeah, the saw rode with me in the ambulance. I'd turn around. I'm like, is that my finger in there? I'm like, oh, finger was in the saw. Did they try to reattach them or you got to finish plate on there?
Starting point is 00:15:33 You might have had a shot. If my dad had been running this crew, he'd be like, God damn it. The medics took the fucking circular saw. Now we don't have one. How are we going to mud's coming. Mud's coming in two hours and I don't got a circuit. I got to go to the store. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Yeah, we just got done for them. We were trying to build a tent, but they're the two by four in the way. So the big rush, but they found my finger in a salt because someone grabbed us all to continue to cut. Hey, dude, the show goes on out there on the job side. Just because you cut your finger off doesn't mean that we don't got to get this poured. Yeah, don't let me stop anything. I mean, it was poured.
Starting point is 00:16:11 It just had to be finished. Oh, yeah. But the rain was coming. You had plenty of time after all the water got on it. Who brought your other finger to the hospital? One of the workers, I don't know who it was. I just know it showed up. And you just had them there.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And did they try to reattach him? No, they reattached the index finger, but that thing don't work. Oh, you cut off your index finger too? Yeah, I got, yeah. So just think of like if you're doing like a totally bro is what I thought I was going to be. Oh, God, that's terrible. Oh, no, it's all right. Okay. So you said they reattached the index figure, but it don't work.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Let me guess. You haven't been rehabbing it. No, I rehab it all the time. Okay. Well, the correct type of rehab? No, not all. So there's like, so when they put that index finger back on, they had to pin it for three weeks because, you know, when I cut the whole fucking thing, the tendon and all. And it just had built up scar tissue now. So now we're just bending it by force until they redo the tendon. Got it. Because I was to say, if I know a concrete guy, they get injured and then they're like, yeah, it feels all right. Then they stop doing the rehab.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And then about six months later, they're worse off. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, I need this thing to work. I got to ride my dirt bike again. That was my first thought. I looked down to my hand. I said, Jesus Christ, you just cut my fucking fingers off. I'm never riding my dirt bike now.
Starting point is 00:17:38 You jumped to a lot of conclusion that first he thought because he didn't have a couple fingers. He couldn't do concrete work. And then they'll ride in the bike, dude. there is people who jump to conclusion people who are in a wheelchair can now drive a car we got that type of technology you can still drive a bike without a couple fingers yeah sometimes i wish they would have kept that
Starting point is 00:18:02 that ring finger is like a little nub you know and then give me like a prosthetic so like if i'm at the bar like hey hold my finger you know it'd be a good little bar joke oh they didn't they took it no no no it's gone the ring finger's gone My middle finger's about above the middle knuckle. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I mean, you're always partying, you know? You're always like, no, I'm not partying no more. I don't party no more. Well, when you raise your left hand up, you are. Oh, yes, I am. He's like, he's like, now if I'm going to be operating the saw, I only go through a six-pack, not a full 12. No, I just grabbed, I just grabbed the apprentice, you know, tackle box, go over here and cut this for me. do you did you did you get a handicap sign to hang in your truck that would be nice at the gas
Starting point is 00:18:54 station you know right oh yeah rock star parking so would you consider would you consider me being an amputee i'm gonna yeah yeah you better you better milk that dude kidding not i can't milk it i don't know well um but they like i'm fed i haven't gotten over the fact that they don't let you keep your own fingers like no i know i still can't get over it either like the are you i don't know like there's like i was like a burial you know like a burial you know maybe yeah like if you would have been able to bring it home you could have put it on your pillow at night and then maybe like tooth fairy whatever the finger fairy would have left you at 20 just wake up and it's magically back in i got visited by the finger fairy last night all the old concrete guys you should
Starting point is 00:19:46 show up. You're like, I put my finger on my pill. I got a 20. That's fucking bullshit. When I cut my finger off back at 64, I only got a nickel. You know the first person I thought of, though, sitting there after surgery, maybe I should give a nickel a call. Well, did you? Did you? I'm not going to say I did it. I can neither confirm nor deny. All right. That is actually great to know. We are going to test. That's great to know. Yeah, we're going to renegotiate based off of your settlement here. We need to get paid four beers per episode now. This is what we call them the biz leverage.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we got the two finger. So we'll take twice what we made last time. Yeah, yeah. There you know. Where you got bellied up to today? We're at Sport Bar here in Fargo. It's a nice spot.

I mean, as soon as I put it up, I was like, I don't know what I'm talking about. But when they, when they say, uh, what, if you can't finish high school, you can finish concrete, I got that ran. I ran with it.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Oh, God. You know, stealing you can yell and scream and then you can go home and be all right, you know. I told one guy, Miles, he was talking, he was running his little cock sucker and he's, you know, I'd say, hey, Larry, I haven't seen you finish anything, but a sandwich. You didn't talk to me for three months. You got a sensitive crew. That's pretty mild where I come from. He must be one of those Gen Z concrete guys.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Yeah, he was older than me. You know the hazing I went through. Yeah, yeah. You rake too much. You rake it too down too much. They take that rake and it goes flying across the job site while you go fetch it and come back and try again. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:38 You tip the board over. That's a 12 pack. um wet i uh one time after i you know got out of the biz i just started doing like you bet you stuff and i again had a had to come out of retirement to help my uncle pour a shop floor and i showed up very hungover slash still a little drunk and me and my brother were out the night before we were the guys pulling the concrete and let's just say we got uh the the tool ripped out out of our hands a couple of times because we were slow moving were you were you on the payroll or doing a no this was a favor okay yeah this is a favor so like what did they expect you know that's the
Starting point is 00:23:22 worst if i'm not getting paid i'm not showing up sober you know dude dude exactly and on a Saturday if that oh yeah no my big thing is let me be raking you know freshly 21 drank in and then you come in all hung over and you're raking and you're just puking and raking at the same time yeah i i heard that you can you know add to the structural integrity of concrete yeah that's what i thought like now now they got the where they don't even need rebar they just put like they just put the fiberglass in the the concrete you know what i'm talking about oh yeah um yeah it's if you just puke right there pull up on it yeah if you just puke right it on there and and and mag it into the concrete it's just does the same effect yeah of course you know just a aqua film you know a little
Starting point is 00:24:10 day one action it does the opposite of sugar if you think what i'd be sitting there thinking something do you think they call it retarded because it makes the concrete a little bit slower or oh god the stuff i come with all day do you write that on your own yeah of course with your right hand or yeah with the right one you know as i'm waving at concrete all day i was like what do i What can I come up with here? You know, you've got to have some fun on the job. Have you ever done a basement wall before? Oh, yeah, I do wall, big gang forms.

Starting point is 00:25:03 You just don't find a lot of guys anymore that have pride with doing concrete work anymore. No, I know. We're talking 19 years on the job, getting ready to celebrate 20, you know, staying for the gold watch. Yeah, the gold's 20 and go to Tower Crane, but now I'm just going to keep porn, I think. Well, he's married to the game. You know how to get rid of back pain, right? How?
Starting point is 00:25:27 Cut off a finger. Take your mind right off it. You haven't thought about your sciatica since. you couldn't show someone you were married that's old news that's old miss are you married no not married so you really are married to the game i love yeah yeah yeah married to the game but i got a girlfriend she was there in about two hours hey is that why you're not married you're just like hey i just have nowhere to put a ring anymore yeah no no no no because that just now came about oh are you getting married now no but if i do i'm just going to put wedding ring with an arrow
Starting point is 00:26:08 appointing. Time it or happen, you know. How long you guys been dating? Seven years. Jesus fucking Christ. Seven years? What are you waiting for? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:28 There's too much of a hassle. You know, what's a piece of paper. I mean, dude, if you wait any longer, you're not going to have any fingers left to put a ring on at all. You never know when you need that emergency. contact. I'll tell you that. That's what the gold watch is for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get that in retirement, right? I mean, thanks for giving a finger. Yeah, it was more of a wedding ring joke when you don't have fingers, but, you know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they're at the wedding.
Starting point is 00:26:56 They're at the wedding and like, uh, Skyler, take this watch as a sign of my life. Yeah. Or she just gets a tattoo gun and tattoo. Tattoo. it for me, you know? Yeah, that could be romantic. Yeah, usually had Wayne that the best man forgets the ring. You forget your finger. Ain't got to worry about that. Yeah. Yeah. I guess I can always put it on the nub. Yeah, there you go. A little nub ring. Yeah, a little cup. Just a little bottle cap. Like a whole stock stocking cap for your finger. Or no, just I already wear a, I wear a finger condom over it. Oh, I called a finger condom, but at the finger cover over my nub. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Just get.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Get a diamond in one of those. Oh, that'd be cool. Maybe I just have it implanted. I told them, you know, to get this knuckle to work, why don't we just put a grease lurk in that damn thing? You know, grease it once a week. They're going to be good. I think losing your fingers gave you a hot 15.
Starting point is 00:27:59 I think you should try stand out. No, no, no. I just do comedy at work. Again, he just does it for the love of the game, Charlie. Yeah, you got to keep people smiling all day. It's quite literally the only way you can continue to do concrete work is if you actually, they have a good sense of humor. Otherwise, you're screwed. Yeah, you throw those feelings out the door when you sign up.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Yeah. Yeah. Fuck your feelings. I'm sorry, but. Oh, well, man, this has been great. Yeah, I'm glad I gave you guys a good laugh. Who took your finger, dude? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Who took it? the hospital took it yeah the good old bloight memorial all right well you got you got to circle up with them and ask them if that's legal because i still feel like you should be able to get your finger all i got are pictures of memories you know i've had a lot of good time with those fingers you know now you got to tell the tell the girlfriend is it the thumb or the nub what one is it she'll probably kick my ass for saying that Yeah, you deserve it. You deserve it.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Oh, well. Well, good talking to you, man. Yeah. You guys take care, watch for deer and tell the folks we says, hey. Yeah, all right. We'll do. Have a good one. Yeah, take care.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Be good. God, I wonder if I could still podcast, Charlie, if I cut my fingers off, you know? Oh, my God. Wow. That's what my buddy did that with a band saw and call them nubs for a little bit. That's really mean, by the way. Is it? That's really mean.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Really? Calm none. Yeah. That's just too far, Charlie. I mean, it seems pretty basic. You know, he was cool with it. I'm joking. Jerry Garcia cut off his middle finger on a saw, and that was their logo, was just to his hand with a middle finger gone.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Another buddy of mine was just actually, he was fixing an ATV. got caught in the chain lost half of his mail finger. Oh my God. So a lot of people are out there losing fingers. Have you seen the saws now that like detect if it's a finger and stops? Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:18 With like hot dogs and stuff. Yeah, no. So you've seen the hot dog video, right? Well, no, I have a saw that says it can do that. Did you try it without a dog? Well, I took that thing off because it's such a piece of shit. I took the guard off immediately, dude. It's a table saw and it's...
Starting point is 00:30:33 So my question where I'm trying to get to here is, how does that even work? How does it know? I don't know, dude, magic. I think. Because obviously it's got to really F up your saw. So you really don't even want to like test it with a hot dog. Right?
Starting point is 00:30:53 It's like it's just stopping it that quick. It's got to ruin the saw, right? There must be censored because you're right. There must be some kind of sensor, but that would be on the end of the blade. But how does it know? Because the blade gets wore down. Like this is now going in the.
Starting point is 00:31:07 category of underwater firecrackers. What's the other one that I don't know how it works? Cryptocurrency and saws that detect if it's flesh that it's cutting that stop. Underwater welding. Anything underwater. I don't understand how it works.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Put all those in the same category. How does it work? Writing underwater. A friend of mine is scuba diver. It has a pen that works underwater. Again, I don't understand it. Yeah. but wild wild things yeah the saw blades have a small electrical current detector and your fingers conduct electricity and wood does not so when you think oh fascinating dude that's kind of sick
Starting point is 00:31:56 so you could cut a dead guy's finger though theoretically yeah yeah you're right. I don't know why your brain went so quickly to that. Well, they wouldn't have electricity running through it. I would say you could maybe like chop up, you know, you can fillet a fish that way. Yeah, that's right. That's right. I guess it is weird, especially me looking the way I do to be talking about that. Yeah. Well, that was pretty, uh, pretty entertaining. I still, I'm hung up, I was hung up, that whole call on the finger thing, dude, why they would take your finger. Yeah. Was that annoying for you? That I won't let that go? No.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I mean, I'm still concerned about it. Anyway, should we take another caller? It's hunting season, Miles. And, you know, I bet you're going to get out there and you're going to go hunting. And sometime you might have bought this nice little like hunting stand, this tin can thing, you know, but then you fell out of it because the floors were greasy. And you're like, how'd these floors get greasy and they just got greasy? Well, there's a malfunction.
Starting point is 00:33:01 So where are you going to do, Miles? I'm probably going to call Nicolet Law. I mean, that's, I'll probably, I'll probably be on the phone before I even hit the ground. Yeah. No, that's, yeah. Yeah, like you're, you're just getting the slip in and you're, you've got it on the dial. Yeah, you know how like you get in a car accident, airbags pop out? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:21 It's like, I'm going to, it's the same reaction. If I'm falling, my phone just comes out and I call Nicolet just in case. Yeah. And that's smart. And once Nicolet picks up, I mean, that, that. You know you're in good hands. Yeah. You're in the warm embrace of Russell Nicolay.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And you're itching because of the beard. It's a little itchy in there. A little itchy. But it's a good embrace. And a theoretic or a metaphorical embrace, of course. But the beard still itches. But yeah, he'll get you out of that thing, man. He'll get you the money you need from those insurance companies.
Starting point is 00:33:56 So called Nicolet Law 1-855 Nicolay. Charlie, it is October in the Midwest. October in the Midwest The leaves are turning The wind's got that crisp bite And it could snow any day now You never know You've been raking leaves and chopping wood, Charlie
Starting point is 00:34:13 How'd you know that, Miles? And every weekend is somehow packed with chores You didn't sign up for How'd you know that? Because I've been following you On What other stuff do you You know, we love fall
Starting point is 00:34:26 But you know, there's always other stuff You got at our cabin We close it up for the winter So we gotta make sure that we get all that closed up there's all sorts of stuff yeah you got to you know pull the dock in miles pull pull pull the uh you know uh take the boats uh the little kayaks and canoes and stuff and tip them upside down speaking of tipping here so what what's kind of nice though is when you do finally get to take a break from all that fall hard work miles there's nothing once the
Starting point is 00:35:02 pumpkins have stopped coming up and I've stopped pulling them out of the ground and and once the corn's all picked and cut back down and and once all the deer have been gone off to to made another day, Miles. You know what I'm doing? Tipping on back to a tippy cow. So guys, if you need a break from your fall activities, make sure you pick up some vanilla soft served tippy cow is a sweet treat on a nice fall day. Mitch. Welcome to the Bellied Up podcast. How you doing? Good. How's it going, fellas? Going real good. Hey, what's going on with your Man Cave?
Starting point is 00:35:40 Well, that's why I was calling to get some advice here. So I'm going to be moving into a new house in a couple weeks here. Yeah. And I never had Man Cave before. So I'm just wondering if you guys got suggestions for what I should throw in that sucker. All right. Well, let's get a lay of the land first, Charlie. what kind of man cave we talk a basement garage or detached garage it's a detached garage but it's heated oh double win for you you are you are about to embark on the garage mahal here yes
Starting point is 00:36:17 you are you have hit what i call the jackpot because i didn't think about it we did a video talking about we know uh a shed man cave a basement man cave, a garage man cave, all the other stuff. And people start pointing out to me that the detached garage is the best because it creates an extra layer of barrier where your wife, especially in the winter, isn't going to want to go outside to tell you to come inside. Right, right. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:50 So you leave that phone at home is what we're saying. Well, no, I'm saying. Yeah, just like, you know, she's what's going to get all bundled up in the winter and walk outside to the garage and tell you to come inside? No. Absolutely not. Right. And you got your phone on, do not disturb, you know? Yeah, D&D. Just put it on airplane mode.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Take a step further. You can play D&D. I think you should get a urinal on the wall. That's what I think. Yeah. Okay. Maybe even get a wall of urinals. I don't even think you need a urinal, Charlie. I think you just need a funnel with a hole in the wall.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Just a piece of PVC maybe. I know a guy who's got a funnel. in the wall at his garage mahal and it is elite that's great pair that with above the funnel you just like hang up an old like a swimsuit bikini calendar yeah it's a great setup that's a that's incredible yeah that's not a bad idea you know i got to spend all the money on the plumbing no that's true and then honestly um that might be good for the garden yeah a little bit i don't know if that helps or hurts but i heard it helps if it's spread out enough okay you know but If you're concentrating it, that's not good.
Starting point is 00:38:01 So maybe you get a hose that's connected on the back with holes poked in it. So it spreads it out through the tomatoes. Kind of like a drip line. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And then just phone all right to the garden. Yep. And every once in a while run a hose through that just to dilute it. But the rain should do that itself.
Starting point is 00:38:19 You know. Okay. Yeah. That's a great idea. God, your buddy's smart. One thing that I was, I was thinking of getting is, you know, on the bars, they got the big buck hunter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Yeah. I'd like to get one of them in there, you know. Those suckers are expensive, though. Are you prepared to spend a bunch of money on it? I'm going to, well, I'm going to have to get like a prepaid, you know, like credit card and throw some money on there so the wife don't know or something, you know. Well, you could, you could. Or you could get a dolly.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Okay. And find a bar you don't like very much. That's a good idea, too. But, you know, usually only one gun works at the bars, you know, I need both guns. work. Well, okay, but I mean, now you're like, you're already don't want to spend the money and now you're, you know, saying that you need both guns to work. What guns are we talking about? On the big buck hunter. Oh, on the big buck hunter, Charlie? No, I did. I just have a ADD. Charlie loves big buck hunter. I have a long history. My ex-wife was a big buck hunter gal.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Still is, in fact. Depending on the year of the game you play. Not like she competed in competition. She's on the game. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, you've met her before. She's one of the gals on the game. Yeah. And we'll leave it at that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, be on the lookout. Yeah. But yeah, so big buck hunter would be awesome. I also think what you should do is maybe get back to the urinal thing. I would like to see you get a keg and, you know, and cut half the keg off. So let that, like, dress up your urinal a little bit, a little keg urinal right a keg funnel keg like it's got the keg is sort of like you know you're that's what you piss it actually smart you get a bigger target yeah yeah yeah especially after about 15 beers yeah get some mice in there keeps it exactly because that way a funnel sticking out the wall i mean
Starting point is 00:40:14 after a while people are dehydrated that's going to smell so well you put yeah yeah you put some some baking soda in there but you know to to help it out yeah that's actually that's actually a great upgrade to the funnel is the beer keg funnel. Sure. Yeah. I love that. It's a great idea. Thank you. Thank you. Now, is this a finish garage
Starting point is 00:40:38 or are you finishing it or you just open concept? It's got insulation already and I'm just going to throw up some OSB on the walls, you know? You call her good. I like that. I like that. I like that too. Do you have currently any wall decorations or is this a
Starting point is 00:40:56 blank slate right now it's a blank slate um okay yeah you got the only suggestion so i would like to circle back you did mention that you are going to have to hide a lot of these purchases from the wife right does she not want a man cave what's going on with that well she she would be okay with me having a man cave just because like right now i got like my deer mons and one room and you know stuff like that. So then I got some place to put all my crap, you know, and she can have her living room. So I guess she's okay with it. She just doesn't
Starting point is 00:41:31 want you to spend a lot of your guys' hard-earned money on it. Right, right. That's stupid stuff to hurry, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And then, but all the candles and fucking extra throw pillows and fucking
Starting point is 00:41:47 uh, seasonal decorations and the fucking, uh, You know, the trinkets and chotchkes and all the whole thing. None of that's, you know, that's, that needs to be there. Yeah, I, extra hand towels and yeah. This past weekend, I just got dragged to a craft show. Yeah, let me tell you.
Starting point is 00:42:13 I mean, that sounds like a night market or a craft show? It was like a craft show. Every booth was just craft. Like what kind of crafts are we talking? and like live laugh love signs or what exactly like hello fall like that's rough but i mean a craft shell versus a flea market i mean a flea market's where you want to go and i was going to say you you got you sell her on going to a craft show but you're really going to a flea market and that's where you'll get all the decor for your man cave that's true right um not a bad idea yeah and you just tell
Starting point is 00:42:50 her it's not a flea market it's an upcycled um market or some just use the term upcycled and that'll allow you to spend more time there what okay did you guys purchase anything at the craft fair or a craft market what is she got like i don't know like a crocheted chicken for our son oh yeah oh yeah i don't know like some soap you know was the the name of the soap company soap sorry by chance no but i did just recently hear that episode and i was hoping they would be there damn that was a classic call right there that was good um i saw someone comment that he's like wow this gal really doesn't know anything about soap i think we just got her nervous we got on her on her back heels yeah that's that's i don't know what's going on with her but that hopefully
Starting point is 00:43:49 her business is working all. I think you should have a tap wall. A tap wall? Yeah. Like beer tap wall? Yeah. Like I'm not saying like it actually has to like be a functioning beer tap wall, but just nice taps. Because me and my buddy, we play this game with beer taps.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Never mind. Never mind. It doesn't matter. But anyway, beer. All is good and fun to just enjoy, you know? Okay. Yeah, a beer tap wall. And because a beer tap is a work of art, you know?
Starting point is 00:44:29 Right. And it's, it's good to find these found arts, you know? Beer tap all would be wonderful. Here's the thing, though, as a guy who owns and has owned a Keggerator before, you got to make sure that you're putting in the time. Otherwise, you go down the route of alcohol abuse, you know? Because a keg only lasts so long, and there's a lot of beer in a keg. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:54 And sometimes you're feeling good about drinking keg beer, and sometimes you just want a can, you know? And on top of that, you got to make sure the lines are clean and all of that. And so you really got to think and make sure that you are going to be putting in the time on that keg or otherwise you're just better off getting a fridge with a case of beer, you know? Yeah, I was going to say, that sounds like a lot of work. I'm more of a Miller High Life bottle kind of guy, you know. Bottles are classy. It's nice. Pop the top and you're good to go.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Yeah. Getting a keg, it's kind of like ordering like a quarter of a cow, but your fridge is only going to work for two weeks, you know? Right. Like, you got to be eating a lot of meat, you know. And you're by yourself. Yeah, yeah. Or you're inviting friends over and everyone's getting steaks.
Starting point is 00:45:39 And don't get me wrong. It's awesome drinking keg beer. But what I don't like is the pressure of having your own. keg of beer and you're like I have to finish this because you know like I may finish it but I don't like the pressure of having to finish it I want to enjoy
Starting point is 00:45:57 it you know right right right on another note something that doesn't expire I was at the rest center in Green Bay and they have a bubbler there and it's a water fountain with a bubbler has brandy coming out of it
Starting point is 00:46:12 okay Varon's old fashioned brandy but you can just put any brandy in it this doesn't have to be a Charlie Barron's brandy thing but at the Resch Center in Green Bay they have a bubbleer with Brandy in it and brandy booze
Starting point is 00:46:28 whatever booze it is it doesn't go bad that's true I like the bubbleer idea instead of the the kegator yeah there's got to be some school around that's getting rid of old water fell actually I work at a school well just pop one out of there you just say it was leaking
Starting point is 00:46:45 and that I either janitor. I am in maintenance. Let's fucking go, dude. You got an egg set. You probably got one of those old marble ones. Dude, you need to make your bar school themed, you know? And you call it the after school program. Yeah. And then you just, you get like old desks. Like, you know how fun it would be to be drinking with your buddies or you sit in the desk or the top flips up, you know? What if he called it indoor recess? Yeah. Get those, get those with the little pencil holder in there. You know, you guys can just, no paper,
Starting point is 00:47:21 you just write things on the desk. You know, you're playing cards. You just keep your cards in the desk that flips up so no one can see them. Yeah, that would be good. That's a good idea. That's a great idea, actually. I like that.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Yeah. That's a fantastic. And then, you know. Yeah, it's just like stuff goes bad at the school. Instead of throwing it out, you just bring it home. Yeah. Right. I'm sure my wife will love that too.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Yeah, it's like, you know, what does she want? She doesn't want you to spend the money. Then you get resourceful. Now she just doesn't want you to have fun at all. Right. You know, at what point? Right. I get it.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Do you have anything you have to keep in the garage in the man cave? Because, I mean, usually that's where cars and lawnmowers go. Oh, yeah. My wife's car has to go in there. And then. She's putting her car in your man cave. Yeah. Well, it's a big, it's like a three car garage.
Starting point is 00:48:15 So, I mean, I think it's a. Like a three-car garage? Yeah. It is a three-car garage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which one is it? It's like a two-and-a-half. It's a two-and-a-half car garage.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Yeah. Wait, Miles made a joke, and I was trying to figure out the specs here. What was a joke, Miles? He said that she puts her car in his garage, and I said, I think it's supposed to go the way around. I did hear that, but I just got it. Hey, whatever you're into, it was fine. That's funny, Miles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I, oh, okay, I get where you're sick. Yeah, see. It's a slow, it's a slow burner, but it was a good joke. Did you guys decide you're just going to give her one stall, the three stall, and you got the other two or no? Yeah, yeah, right. Perfect. Okay. And did she have a cool car? Is there something we can play with there?
Starting point is 00:49:06 Or is it like, you know? It's just like a Ford, little Ford Bronco. Nothing cool. One of those new Ford Broncos. or like, we're talking O.J. Bronco. No, we're not that cool. It's not the old one. Okay, but it's not something where we got to get a curtain to disguise it.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Right. Or take it off the deal. Right. And it's not something we can play into, like a cool old Bronco. Get her a cool old Bronco. Get rid of that one that she's got. Oh, I'd love to, but they're so expensive. You steal one, you know?
Starting point is 00:49:37 We talked about the stealing the game. You steal this, too. Make sure you wear gloves, though. You don't want to leave any fingerprints. Yeah. That is. Right. Make sure the gloves fit, too.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Yeah. You must quit. Well, actually, it's actually kind of smart to get gloves that don't fit. Actually, we found out. That's the lesson to be learned. Right. You know what? You should also get it.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I don't know. I don't see a lot of people talking about this. Get a nice rug. You know, you can really tie the room together. Oh, yeah. Well, I'd like to eventually, you know, go bear hunting and just put a bear rug
Starting point is 00:50:16 in that. That sounds great. Okay. You know? Yeah. Well, you know, the tough thing with that, you don't want to make it too nice because you don't want to be, you know, telling people to take their shoes off in your man cave. Right. Yeah, so you got to be careful with that.
Starting point is 00:50:32 You can't spend too much money on this thing or be too precious. If you get, you know, you might want to hang that thing on the wall yet. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just because people are going to spill beer. People People are getting hammered here. People are going to miss the funnel urinal, you know? Right.
Starting point is 00:50:49 And you want someone dripping on your, yeah, dripping on your deal. That's not the way we like to see it go down. You don't want any dribble on your, on your new bear. Yeah. Right. Yeah. But I feel like a shuffleboard would be wonderful. Shuffleboard, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:07 And make sure you get enough sand because that's always the worst thing. It's actually wax. Is it wax? Did you know that? Well, you wax it, but you're also putting sand on it. Oh, it's waxed that little wax beads. No. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Oh, really? On a shuffleboard, they're wax beads, right? Is that the case? Well, that would make sense. You wax the table as they break down. The sand would be grody on it. Yeah. Dried out wax.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Interesting. Well, don't get sand. Yeah, you got to refinish. It's basically the more you play, the more you're just refinishing the table. Yeah, come to think of it, that does make sandpaper. You just have to throw it so hard. Yeah, but then I can spend more time in the garage. Yeah, I got to refinish the shuffleboard again.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Oh, man. Shuffleboard's fun, though. Oh, my God. It's a great game. I think also you need to like, I feel like you need to make it so that you can have something that you hang from the top that is an activity for when people get tuned up. you know like get a pull-up bar from the ceiling oh stripper pole could work
Starting point is 00:52:18 shripper pole could work i mean that's that's i wouldn't go out of your way to do a server ball might get you in trouble but like if you just have like a support pull in your garage then it's like if it happens to turn a stripper pole it does right but i mean like pull-up bar you know yeah just just activities for guys to do yeah mainly stuff maybe like something you could maybe like a swing of some sort, you know, like a... What kind of a man cave?
Starting point is 00:52:44 Do you think this is, my house? It's also maybe a game. You know that I say it? Miles Gray over here. Stripper pole, like a couple old junk lawnmores, you know, and then we can all just stand around looking at it.
Starting point is 00:52:57 That's true. Yeah. That's good. But the swing could be good. You know, after I said it, I knew that that maybe wasn't exactly what I was going for,
Starting point is 00:53:05 but you also, if you need any, you know, points with the wife on like to be okay with doing the man cave route could put some stuff in there for her. Right. Okay. Yeah, you think that's the swing is for her or you think that's well, she parks in his garage. So I don't know what this couple does. Hey, where do you park by the way? Oh, me? Yeah. Oh, me? Oh, I thought you were asking miles. Oh, no. No. I park in my own garage. I park outside. Oh, you park outside?
Starting point is 00:53:39 Yeah. Well, that's interesting. So how does that work? She gets the house. She can park her garage, park her car in your garage, and you're parking outside. Well, I just have an old junkie F-150 that's got a bunch of hail damage. I don't care about it.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Oh, yeah, that's true. That's true. Why fight a battle you don't want to win? That is true. You do need stuff that's broken to put in there so that guys can, your buddies and you can stand around it talk about how you would fix it but don't fix it necessarily you can fix some of it but don't fix it all the way because then you just you always perpetually want a project to look at while you're drinking right and then it's an excuse for the buddies to come over you know
Starting point is 00:54:23 yeah i think what we're doing we're setting up a circuit here so we've got the workout circuit we got the fix it circuit we've got the peeing circuit yeah yeah and we've got the lookin circuit you know and that's the the beard tap handles swing yeah the swing too i mean that's the cuck circuit but what i think you just got to do is keep it going you know you get different activities for the different types of guys that way all the guys that you're getting there they can do the thing that they kind of want to do and everyone can do their own thing but you're all together and sometimes you guys will all be in unison but other times you're just you know a little symphony of fellas you'll have you'll have like all you have group work and then you'll have
Starting point is 00:55:07 breakout sessions. Yes. Exactly. So you start off the day with a group thing where you guys all start having some beers, some general tomfoolery, and then you have breakout sessions where some guys are doing pull-ups. Some guys are looking at the lawnmower that's broken. Some guys are playing swords. Yeah. Definitely going to have some sort play in there. At the urinal. I mean, if you got a, if you got your own private urinal, you know, sword play is happening. Might be three at a time. And the streams will get crossed. And I do think that this... That's just guys being dudes, you know?
Starting point is 00:55:41 It's just locker room stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's only weird if your balls touch, you know. That, why is that weird? Yeah, what the hell? I didn't know that was weird. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:55:54 That's what they say. Well, but bringing it all back home to the theme, this is indoor recess. What did we do at indoor recess? We stayed in a classroom and we just, some of us were doing arts and crafts. others of us were you know playing cards some of us were trying to figure out how to smoke the old cigarette butts that miss grahouski dropped out the window you know we were all doing our own thing and um i think this is it going to be a beautiful thing i mean i want to come hang out at this man cave oh and we forgot about buck hunter too oh yeah that's right yeah well i like we're excited
Starting point is 00:56:32 ideas. Let us know when it's up. Yeah, I will. One more thing I had to say. Oh, yeah. I recently just had a hemorrhoid ectomy. Have you ever heard of that before? No. Okay. Well, basically, yeah, I'll let you look it up on your own time. Okay. You had hemorrhoids removed?
Starting point is 00:57:00 Right. Yeah. Well, dude, that's because you, letting your wife park her car in your garage too much. Is that what happened? It could be, I guess. I don't know. Park that big Mac truck in that. Okay, anyways. Well, I just want to give advice to all listeners. If you got him, rides, go give him taken care of right away before you get to this point. Oh, gotcha. You've been sitting on a donut is what you're saying. No, well, yeah, somewhere along those lines. All right. Well, are you doing okay now?
Starting point is 00:57:32 Yeah, I'm doing okay now, but... So you had surgery for hemorrhoids. Right. Holy smokes. Well, thanks for sharing that with us. Yeah. This is a great time. This is great.
Starting point is 00:57:45 This is hemorrhoids awareness. It's hemorrhoids awareness month. Yeah. October is Hemorrhoids Awareness month, and we're very happy that you called to let everyone know that, no, that's a great PSA. How many guys do you know out there that you've been talking to you and you're like, ah, my asshole, you know, I was like, what's wrong? And he's like, I got hemorrhoids.
Starting point is 00:58:03 You know, okay, he ain't got hemorrhoids. But the next time a guy tells me he's got hemorrhoids, I'm going to tell him to go get those checked out. Yeah. You know? And is that what you recommend? Definitely. It was terrible surgery.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Well, and it's also a great point. You know, they talk about to avoid breast cancer, you need to give yourself a self-examination every so often. Yeah. You need to be giving yourself self-examination on those hemorrhoids as well. Well, that was part of this whole process. And, I mean, I didn't give myself an examination, but the doctor, he had to, you know, glove up and do the deed. Sure. Yeah. No glove, no love. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I'm trying to think of a funny catchphrase with, you know, like click it or ticket, you know, on the road. Like, you wear your seatbelt or you get a ticket, you know? It's like something or glove up, you know? That would be a good one for that. snap it or I don't know anyways can you do self exams for these
Starting point is 00:59:08 I mean I suppose you could so are you thinking like maybe you go on your back and check it out with the mirror or like standing with you know talk me through how I would do a self-examination
Starting point is 00:59:22 if I had hemorrhoids to catch them early hemorrhoid you know because it was what they say prolapsed or it where it comes out after you take a dump. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Oh, no. Yeah. Every time. What's your diet like? Well, now it's getting better. I'm getting the fiber in now, but before it was, you know, lays potato chips and whatever is in the fridge. Oh, geez. Yeah, you got to put some chia seeds with the lays.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You kombucha with the cheese or with the potato chips. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:56 But I don't know. Before, like, how I had to wipe my butt with. a hemorrhoid was basically you had to put one leg up onto the clueled seat, you know, spread your cheeks and then get back there and kind of wipe because it's pretty hard to wipe with a hemorrhoid, you know, it kind of hurts.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Oh my God. Well, thank you. Good visual for you. And that is the raw truth about hemorrhoids and that's why we're raising awareness here today. Yeah. You're not going to find this on any other podcast out there.
Starting point is 01:00:28 We are doing it. But in all honesty, know people got them and it's good to be talking about because at the end day it's everyone's got an asshole so that's right we can acknowledge it and we can say some assholes you know get a little hemorrhoid action going and that's okay yeah we're all humans and we all have hemorrhoids that's right well speak for us all we're all humans and we all can get hemorrhoids. Just the chosen ones.
Starting point is 01:01:02 They have the hemorrhoids. Yeah, the chosen ones. Yeah. But, yeah, and then eat your fiber, too. Yeah. Get your fiber in. Eat your leafy greens. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're really thankful that you called in today. And did they give you your hemorrhoid back? No, they had to see. Did you get to keep them out for testing? I mean, just curious. I find it suspicious
Starting point is 01:01:35 that all these hospitals are keeping our body parts. There was another fellow who he cut off his fingers and the hospital kept his fingers and I think that's bullshit and I think we should be contacting our elected officials that if we was a body part, we should get to keep it. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Who knows what they do with November right now? That might be hands down. craziest thing Charlie's ever said. That's not true. Did you get to keep your hemorrhoid? Well, it was an honest question, Miles. If you're an organ donor, they get to keep it. They do?
Starting point is 01:02:10 Your hemorrhoid? If you're an organ donor, that's what's encouraging people to be organ donors. You get to keep your hemorrhoids. We're running a deal. If you donate your kidney, you get to, and you have hemorrhoids, you get to keep your hemorrhoids, you get to go home with them. Well, it would be funny if they, you know, know there's like a taxidermist for hemorrhoids maybe take it to the taxidermis well i'm just worried
Starting point is 01:02:33 that you know they kept my hemorrhoid and they're going to use it to skin graft somebody that's like a burn victim or something you know well you know i mean skin is skin man and who are we to judge oh my god where we to judge anyways haven't the burn victim's already been through enough now we're using hemorrhoid skin grafts. Wow. You got to take what you can get. Well, thank you for calling in. That's like at the discount hospital.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Thank you for calling in. Yeah, I appreciate it. I do a lot of long mona work, so I listen to a lot of your guys' podcasts. I always wanted to call in, but never had a reason to until now, I guess. Well, you always had a reason. You just didn't get it checked out. so look we're happy for you we're glad you're happy and healthy and you're getting a man cave all right that's right i appreciate it all right well we'll be over there when it's done you let us

Ham. Yeah. And if you eat too much ham without enough water and fiber. And I'm not a doctor. I don't know how that works.
