Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the Bellied Up podcast.
I'm here with Charlie.
Hi, Miles.
We're at the 1029 bar again, hanging out with the patrons.
Yep.
They're trying to guess to do the Burger Challenge, $45.
Eat four double cheeseburgers in under 10 minutes, 29 seconds.
House double cheeseburger and onion double cheeseburger, a wedge double
cheeseburger, and a mushroom double cheeseburger.
You got to eat all that 10 minutes, 29 seconds.
I don't think I got a prayer, Miles.
No, God, no.
And I already had a lobster sandwich.
Did you get the lobster sandwich?
The Connecticut roll, I think, is what it was called.
Very good.
Do you remember that we went to SmackShack here in Minneapolis, that seafood place?
Yeah.
What are you laughing at?
Just the name is Smack.
Yeah, it's called Smackin.
They have SmackShap food here.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, they caught them fresh out of the Mississippi.
Mississippi this morning. Did you get the lobster putteen or no? I didn't. I should. I've been told,
that's why I was told. But see, I'm not, you know, Putin and me, I'm not an anti-putin guy,
but it's not my first goal. But you're on antibiotics. So that's okay. Poutine's good for the
antibiotics. It helps them to really simmer. I'm almost off them. I'm not contagion. I'd also,
I said you just started them. Well, anyways.
A couple days ago.
So Charlie, I was sick in the other day.
The millennials have killed a lot of things, the top sheet.
The, you know that.
The top sheet?
Yeah, like millennials don't use top sheets anymore.
They just get rid of it.
You just got the sheet that they lay on and then the comforter, you know?
Ooh, pole tabs?
Okay.
Well, that's really nice.
Thank you very much.
well we'll
open to these
should we just see what we have here
oh my god
these are for this bar
I won $12.000 already
1200 pennies
1,200 pennies
wow they got their own
pole tab here
oh that's awesome dude
how often do you find a bar with their own pole tabs
oh they got bras look at this
bikes bras
karaoke
Keith?
Yeah, we were just commenting on that.
That's impressive.
No, we'll give it back to you.
Yeah, no, it's your money.
I mean, there is an etiquette with that whole thing.
Did you?
You got 12 over there, too?
What a, what a, you must have picked the right one.
All right, nothing.
Here's your $12.
Nothing.
Go reinvest.
Nothing.
The rest of us got nothing.
What I was trying to say, Chuck.
Yeah.
Millennials and younger, the boomers used to,
they used to just stop over unannounced at their friend's house.
Oh, yeah.
We don't do that anymore.
No, it's kind of like texting them.
You know, it's our, you interrupt someone's day with a text now.
You used to interrupt their day by just walking over.
Like, watch any sitcom from the 90s.
People just show up.
Ciccams set today, which just wouldn't be funny because no one just shows up.
Yeah, like who does it?
I just got a text. That's boring.
Yeah. Super boring. I remember I'd be like at home and it'd be like a Tuesday evening.
We'd just finished dinner and my parents' friends would stop by.
Yeah, they were in the neighborhood.
They were in the neighborhood and they'd hammer beers till bedtime.
You know what I mean? Like we're not doing that anymore.
I think like the only spot that maybe that happens is in smaller rural areas, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, but even then, you know, it's a longer haul to get over there.
But, you know, if you're on your way back, I mean, there's a lot of things that the boomers are doing right.
that we could learn from.
Like, you know, you ever see a boomer in a locker room?
No shame in the game.
Just hanging brain.
Belly to belly.
Hang in brain.
Hangin brain.
Just, they don't care.
No.
It's just, it's, it's the time in life to be free.
But don't you think that we should, we should start stopping over at Friends House
unannounce?
I think we should do that.
What is that stress?
You know, because it's, I think it would be fun at my house,
most of the time if my buddy showed up.
Oh, oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
Sorry, I was getting excited, Miles.
I was getting my, my beers hanging brain right now.
But what I'm saying is, is like,
but the thought for me to just show up to Jared's house unannounced,
I would be like, I shouldn't do that because he's going to be like,
why the fuck are you here?
He's gonna be like,
are you letting me go?
You know?
Yeah.
I mean,
well, yeah,
maybe that's a bad example.
Boss,
do you need to bury a body?
Way back?
Get a hondo.
Are you serious?
You hit a hondo with that?
Well, Becca did it.
She's,
she's,
she's the go.
Oh,
hell yeah.
Dude,
that's,
that's,
that's why you invest,
guys.
That's why you do it right there.
Hit a hondo on the pole tabs.
Um, yeah,
I think we got to bring that back.
Because what's the downside to it?
Yeah.
don't know. It's just like we've gotten to a point we're on her phone so much that we don't like
surprise interactions. Everything's got to be planned. I think we need to be good for generations
after this to get bring that back into their life. People get upset when you call them instead
of text them. I know. Where are we at? I know. Imagine if if like Gen Z in a few years when they like
are in the workforce more and shit like imagine like just your buddy just showing up to your apartment.
Yeah, call the police, you know.
I think that it's important to, you know, take the beneficial stuff, leave the detrimental
stuff.
There's a lot that the boomers had that wasn't quite as good.
Like duvet covers.
I don't think we need those.
I'm just going to say that.
Or the top sheet.
I don't know what this top sheet thing is.
That's because you're a millennial.
You don't even know what it is.
Or is it Gen Z that likes the top sheet?
So, like, you go to a hotel.
you lay on the sheet that's fitted, right?
Yeah.
You pull back the covers.
There's the top comforter.
Uh-huh.
Then there's another sheet that comes with that.
Yeah.
Millennials aren't using those anymore.
They're just sweating all over their comforter?
Mm-hmm.
They're getting comforters that you can wash.
Oh, okay.
Well, there's the comforters with the sheets on the comforters in the hotels.
Have you seen that?
They like, it's like a sheet duvet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you ever smell the comforter accidentally?
And you're like, oh, God.
I wish that was a sheet right now because they have not watched that at all.
I try not to sniff hotel items.
Sometimes you're trying to take deep breaths before you sleep and you just smell the wrong end of a of a comfort.
If I'm a situation where I got to be taking deep breaths, usually like maybe I had too much to drink.
Yeah.
I don't have the covers on.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't even, I'm trying to stay cool and or I didn't have the wherewithal to pull the covers back, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, how are they doing that?
They just go, like, when they're too hot and they got the meat sweats, what are they covering up?
Nothing.
Just raw dog in it.
Well, if you're a true professional, you just stick one leg out to start.
That is smart.
Yeah.
If you got to put two dogs out, then you do.
Or have you ever done the horseshoe where it's just leaving, you know, from knees to nipples?
Oh, yeah.
Just leave that open.
So I am.
Oh, wow.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I am, I mean, I'm in my zero G era, you know.
Your zero G era.
Yeah, with my bed.
Remember I told you about that?
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So what I found is, is when I get scrunched up in zero G because your feet are higher, you're not
as tall.
So I have too much comforter now.
Oh, it's doubling up.
For my bed.
So now I have to have a routine where I like fold it over and it all ends up in my
midsection.
so it's, I'm still figuring that part of it.
You can't do that after a ribby.
No, God, no.
What is it with ribbyes that just make you all hot and bothered at 2 a.m. miles?
I don't know.
It's the meat sweats.
Yeah.
Yeah, that last time we were together.
I did. I did. I did.
Yeah.
And I haven't learned my lesson.
I did again the other night.
But here we are.
Some people live and learn.
I just live.
So you get delayed onset meat sweats.
Yeah, I do.
Delayed.
Yeah, you get doms, which normally is delayed on muscle.
soreness, delayed onset muscle
soreness, but you got delayed onset meat sweats.
Doms, I like that.
I can go to a bar and say, I'm a doms, you know, see what happens.
Be careful which bar are you doing that out.
You never know.
Yeah, I just get it right there on the spot.
I'll get the meat sweats right then and there.
Let's back up a second here, Miles.
Do you, would you actually want your dad to just show up unannounced?
he's the only person that does that at him house what's he does he have an out does he have like he brought
you something so he can leave it any time does he he's is he running the option you know or is he just
coming to hang out no like uh it's usually like because he owns a concrete business and so that
if he's usually got a job nearby he'll just drive by he'll walk up or like maybe he'll drive by
and be see that we're in the backyards and they'll just come out to the backyard that's nice
You like that.
He does do it in the winter.
I can tell you that much.
You know, it's a fair weather stop buyer.
And does he ever want anything once his go to any food, any beverage or coffee?
Stopping to say what's up.
My,
my nana, she had a rotating door at her house where all her kids would kind of stop by on their way.
So she would always have a pot of coffee and a Folger's can of cookies just ready to go.
She had so many cookies she had down in the freezer because she had 11 kids.
And Chicago chocolate chip, they were money.
But yeah, pot of coffee all was on.
Yeah, it's kind of like a hotel lobby.
Exactly, yes.
And that was great.
Well, I think we should bring it back.
What is the, like if someone wants to start, just stop and by, what would you recommend they do?
I think you just, you got to come in.
You commit.
You know, I think the first time, definitely.
Definitely have a good excuse for stopping because you're going to catch them by surprise.
Yeah.
You know, just being like, hey, I was in the neighborhood and I forgot I had to bring you this, you know?
Yeah, that's running the option.
That's where you can do a shovel pass and get the hell out of there.
But do you do that a couple times.
Then after that, you just say, hey, I'm just stopping by to see what's up.
Okay.
And once you get to that point, that's all you need.
There's no, you don't need a reason after a while.
Do you ever remember a time someone popped by and it wasn't a good time?
Usually someone trying to like get me to be a Jehovah Witness or something like that.
Dude, Jehovah's Witnesses really do.
Is it Jehovah or Jehovah's?
They got Jehovah's Witness.
J. Dobs, you got to hand it to those guys, man.
They are all face-to-face communication.
I thought we had a door-to-door window cleaning salesman in our neighborhood the other day.
And I was actually like, you know what?
I respect the game.
I don't need my windows clean, but I respect the game.
Did you get a card for when you did need your windows clean?
No, I wasn't home.
My wife was home.
She didn't answer the door.
She just stared at him on the ring doorbell.
See, that's what we got to get rid of.
We got to get rid of the ring.
The ring doorbell is the downfall of society.
100% is.
And the ring app, I had someone in, you know, the ring, the app that comes with it,
you can post in your neighborhood.
I had someone put in there that did it.
that did anyone receive a red omelet maker?
I'm looking for it and it got delivered to the wrong house.
And I just don't need to get a notification on my phone for someone else's red omelet maker.
As you're sitting there making an omelet out of that red omelette maker.
How rude.
Oh, God.
I wonder if it's this one.
Yeah, that apps are that I think society peaked at the Christoer-Liberant, you know?
Do explain why.
Like 1996.
you know, 95, somewhere around there.
Because what you're talking about, people just popped by.
Peaked at 92, because in 93, a bunch of people were born that just ruined it.
Yeah.
Well, and the people raised them, we can't be all to blame, right?
That was joke because I was born in 93.
Oh, so I just insulted your parents.
Damn.
Didn't mean to do that.
No, go ahead.
Tell Bud and Mayor how you feel.
I'm listening to this.
I know they are.
Bud, Mary Jane, I respect you guys.
very much.
How Miles has turned out is not on you.
That's, at some point, he had to make his own life decisions, and here we are.
A few bad apples I was hanging out with, like you.
I might have steered you down some wrong paths from a time or two miles.
All right, so we got the, do we want to bring back the top sheet?
I'm a fan of the top sheet.
No, I used to use the top sheet.
My wife cabosh that, so I don't use one.
anymore and I don't think I have no need to go back.
So you wash the comforter then?
No.
Okay.
But it's such a pain in the ass to dry, you know?
Yeah, I mean, it takes six to seven times to go through it.
When was the last time you did your sheets, Miles?
A few weeks ago.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Cool.
I mean, in college?
No, I'm just saying.
No, I mean, in college, though.
Yeah, it was the whole year.
Yeah, once, you know, at the end of the semester, you pay it home.
You know?
Yeah.
You just see an oil spill in the set tub afterwards, you know.
Yeah, you know, you've heard of rotating your bed.
I just rotate the sheets.
Oh, yeah, smart.
So I can get two semesters out of them.
Smart.
Yeah, you just turn them around and then you flip them over.
Yeah.
So you get basically you're halfway through college before having to wash your sheets.
Until you're sticking to them, like, you know, like, if you, if they stick as you,
you're sitting up, you're fine. But if they start pulling you back down, it's time to get yourself some
you want to know something really just about my sheets. Yeah. Is in college working out all the time. I
used to get really bad calluses of my feet. So they're real rough. And I wore holes in my sheets from
where my feet were. Really? That's how gross they were. And I bet you just had, it looked like it was
snowing on the bottom half of your bed. God, it looks like someone was eating spaghetti.
here is that Parmesan? I spilled
some Parmesan. This is great
podcast conversation. This is good, good table
talk. My calluses were so bad. I don't know if I said this on this podcast
that the athletic trainer before
they shaved them off.
Like quite literally they took a scalpel
to my calluses.
The cheese grater wasn't doing it anymore for them.
They literally had to use a knife to cut the
calluses off my heels.
They're so bad. The athletic
trainer asked if she could take photos before they cut them off so she could use them in her
class as an example of how bad they can get. If she was smart, you should have done a time-lapse
video that would have crushed on Instagram right now. Also, I just realized that maybe she was just
selling them online. Maybe the athletic trainer was saying she was using it for educational purposes,
but really just I'm on feet finder somewhere
in the underneath the callus tap.
Hey, there's a king.
Like a number one influencer on feet finder for the calluses.
There's a kink for everyone.
Do you think boomers have foot fetishes or is that a new thing?
I think they got all the fetishes that the younger generations do
that they just are so closeted.
They're just closeted of all generations.
Yeah.
There's definitely boomers out there that want to be a furry.
Oh, for sure.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, we didn't just, like, evolve and all of a sudden people wanted to be furries.
We just made it.
Our society just said it was okay to put on some cat ears and use a litter box.
But there's boomers that are like, gah, born too late.
You know, would you agree with me on that?
I think so.
I think for the furries.
Like, there was medieval furries for sure.
Yeah, they just didn't have the, uh, the, uh, the necessary.
things. I think furries really popped off when
college mascots started getting overly sexualized.
Do explain. Like, Bucky, you see him doing like all those
push-ups after the game and you've got a lot of gals out there. I'm
fellas too going, damn, that badgers ripped, dude. I wonder what else he can do.
You know? Yeah. And he's not wearing pants. I mean, they're like, let me see. Let me see
what's going on under that jersey. Yeah, now you say it the Oregon duck doesn't wear pants. I don't
think. No, a lot of them are just pantsless and we just accept that and that, you know, that
began. So again, boomers started a lot of these things that. Yes, I think historians will say that
boomers are credited with over-sexualizing sports mascots. Yeah, certainly. I think that that will go
down in history. So it's, it's just because we are who we are doesn't mean we weren't built by another
generation you know um so it's it's passing the buck you know it's also we didn't start the fire
no it's always been burning and um since the world's been turning and we're just we're just trying to
put it out a flame at a time and sometimes we just fan the flames you ever been to a furry convention
wow why would i ever have been there just because you're in bagas for something and then oh
there's some furries how was it
Wow
No, I wasn't in Vegas
It was somewhere
What year was this?
This was I don't know
2011 or something
Okay, so you were hot early on the frie
Well, I knew that this subculture existed
Also, I did some common
In 2011 I was a senior in high school
Yeah, well I was just trying to make my bones
Doing whatever I could
You know
Yeah, you're getting your bones
At the furry convention
No, I was just a casual observer
But I liked what they were bringing to the tape
but it was inventive it was you know a little warm um admittedly like if you're talking
the desert it's a bad place for a furry convention i even doing that in anchorage i i forgive
just the smells you start if you're in those furry costumes you start to smell like these animals
some people some people take it the next level and they put the pheromones of the animals on there
it's disgusting it's not hey do not kink shame on this podcast miles this is an open podcast
podcast. Okay. So like,
someone's just walking around
with with dough urine and
dough estrus on them or what? Now that
I didn't know, but I did smell
some badgers. I did smell. No,
I didn't, I didn't smell. It's just I heard
that that was a thing. And to
be honest with you, I didn't verify it.
So, Jerry, let's look it up.
On your
computer. It's a company computer.
You're not looked that up.
Maybe someone out there is a furry.
Honestly, if someone out there is a furry,
we would love you guys to call in.
We'd love to just get to know.
We have a ton of questions.
So many questions.
Like a ton of questions.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And what animal would you say,
Miles, that you would be most,
what would be your gateway animal into the furry world?
Keep in mind these aren't actual animals,
so I'm not over here.
So time off.
Are you asking me what animal
I'm most sexually attracted to.
Oh, God, did I say that?
I don't think I did, but kind of perverted that you just did my house.
Oh, my God.
Jared, did you hear that?
What did you think?
What were you trying to say?
Just which one would you want to take a selfie with you?
You weirdo?
Dude.
All right.
Fuck, I don't know.
Kangaroo Jack.
Kangaroo would be cool.
Or Jackie, I suppose, the female one.
Would you be?
The Hingaroo Jackie could be a good time.
You boxer and then...
Anyways.
Hugger.
Well, Charles?
Yes, Miles.
Should we touch on a lot of things here at 1029?
This is a bustling bar, by the way.
Oh, my God, dude.
This is where the professionals hang out.
And also, this is what we need in America.
It is.
People from all walks of life are here right now at this bar.
melting pot of people and everyone's having a great time.
And in a lot of ways, I think the bar, to wrap it all up, put a bow on it, the bar is a nice
way to bring back stopping off at someone's house.
If you think about a bar, it's just someone else's house, you know, and it's a welcoming
place to just borrow from the bar for your garage.
Yeah.
And, you know.
I agree.
Yeah.
It's good.
So that's the gateway.
That's a gateway, right?
there. Okay, Miles, let's do this. Let's take some callers. What do you think?
Let's do it. Opening day energy, Miles, it's undefeated. Everyone's outside. Grills are firing up.
People are tossing a ball around like they're trying out for the big leagues. But no one's
stretched. Nobody's warmed up. Everyone thinks it's still, you know, 20 years ago and they're 22.
and the next thing you know, someone steps in a hole in the yard and the ankle is
all gone.
Or you're chasing a fly ball and you trip over a cooler that shouldn't have been there.
And now your shoulder's not doing one used to.
And then you got people driving home after the big long day in the sun, not paying attention.
And damn, this is the worst day of your life.
What are you going to do, Miles?
I'm calling Nicolet, Charlie.
This is no other option for me.
That's it.
1855, Nicolay or go to Nicolay, or go to Nicolay, law.
dot com.
Nikolai.
Charlie, I like your sunglasses.
I like your sunnys, Miles.
You look like you're about to go catch a fly ball for the softball team.
Thank you very much.
Doesn't he?
Underhand?
Yeah.
Yeah, slow pitch softball?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
I'm about to go pull a calf.
How do they feel?
Feel great.
Again, these guns is so clear, crystal clear.
Your glasses are so smudgy.
It's incredible.
Look at these things.
I can bike with these miles.
Those are great biking glasses.
Guys, Charlie's got on his new shady rays.
Just nice because it's bright in this bar with that light on for us.
I know.
It's really good.
And are these ones polarized too?
Let me see.
Yes, they are.
So you can bike to the fishing hall with these suckers, Miles.
And guys, this is a perfect time of year to be looking at sunglasses.
Oh, yeah.
Weather's starting to turn.
You're spending more time outside.
Maybe you're going fishing.
Need some polarized glasses.
maybe you're on the softball team, maybe you're playing some golf.
You got to go to Shady Rays and pick up some glasses.
Yeah, yeah.
And the nice thing about these miles, they feel like a million bucks.
They cost a fraction of those expensive glasses.
They do not cost a million bucks.
They feel like a million bucks.
They feel like a million bucks, but they do not cost that.
And that's what we like about Shady Rays.
And they're polarized lenses that cut the glare,
hard.
Super clear, which you found out.
Yeah.
You need to get some shady rays prescription glasses.
I should.
I should.
I actually think I am.
I think we locked that in.
Yeah, I just update my lenses.
Yeah.
You're going to be seeing clear for like at least a couple days until you smudge them all up.
Probably like eight hours.
But I bet I could use the case to wipe them clean because that looks like a nice case right there.
And what I like about shady rage, they have a plethora of style options.
They got the sporty or one.
ones like you got you got the jfk's over there these are the blues brother style um they got
a v they got it all so go to shady rays check out their stuff use code bellied up you get 40

hunting from the ocean there miles
um
we uh
we're at a bar and there's a couple
uh blue collar guys in their hive is
they've been bellied up since noon
yeah and they were asking us
what we thought of the brunt sweatsh,
brunt gear. If they should get someone,
we just said the fact that you don't
got it is kind of a mistake.
I think you should go over there right now, give them a game
wearing jersey. I should. I should grab some
of our brunt gear and go give it to them.
But
that's what I like about it.
I can wear it as a
cool looking sweatshirt. You can wear it on the
job site. You can wear it when you're
doing projects out in the backyard.
Their boots are great.
You got the slip on boots.
I got a few different boots.
It's great because you're going to the age where you just are done bending over.
See?
I'm waiting for them to make those Velcro boots, but they'll get there.
We'll talk to them.
We'll talk to see if they can put that there.
So guys, if you want some great workwear, you got to go to bruntworkware.com.
Check out all the gear they got.
They got awesome boots, awesome sweatshirts, awesome work pants.
I just got a new pair of work pants from them.
And on the next round, I'll give you the update on them.
I got to wear them and I'll tell you what I,
think of them. And I've liked your

I'm so excited. To be honest, I was like,
holy crap, this is actually going to happen.
Oh, yeah, here it is.
It's all happening, Aaron.
What's on your mind?
What are you doing today?
Well, honestly, so last week, the farm I worked at sold all the cows.
So this week I'm home just trying to figure some things out.
And I got my room clean and got the cows all happy out in my own pasture and stuff today before the storms came in.
Oh, that's good.
I didn't realize we got storms coming.
in today. That's a difference between you and me. What did you say? You said you sold some cows.
I might have misheard you off the top. I worked on a dairy farm for five and a half years,
like my senior year of high school to last Friday, and they actually sold out all the cows.
So all of the milking herd is gone distributed between Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and my home state
in Michigan. Why did they move on?
um there's some financial things that are going on the dairy industry i'm not an expert by any means
so i won't say anything like that but just financially things were getting hard and they felt it was
the right time to spend time with their their two kids so i don't envy them at all so it was it was
the right decision for them and i'm happy for them even though i'm sad that some of my best cows less so
yeah i'm sure that's tough shout out to all of our dairy
farmers out there. It is tough. It's tough business right now. Without them, we don't got
Wisconsin cheese, Charlie. No, no, or milk or butter.
I've been hammering whole milk now that I got a kid. Oh, yeah?
Bowl of cereal with a with whole milk, it's is unreal. And it's just like, well, you stop
eating the fruity pebble smiles. She's, does she get? Once you go whole milk,
you're not going to go back. We were actually talking about that. Me and Jared were the other day.
Yeah.
So you're so you're jobless right now.
As of the moment, yes, but I'm applying the things and my dad has a company.
So I'm going to do some paperwork for him until I get things and then just bounce around other farms.
Nice.
Like this is like a very new thing that happened.
I literally got told a month ago that I was going to lose my job.
Oh, God.
Well, if you need an endorsement on LinkedIn, we'll give that to you, by the way.
All right.
Cool.
Sounds like she doesn't care about that.
endorsement miles. She's like, what's that going to do for me? What the, how old are you? What the
difference between the other caller who thought LinkedIn was the way to the future? I'm 22, so I'm pretty,
I'm pretty young. I mean, honestly, I went to a community college for two years, got my associate's
science. It was like, you know what? I like the cows. I'm going to go hang out with them. So now I'm like,
oh, now what do I do? But it'll be, it'll be cool. What do you like better? What do you like better?
about cows than you do humans.
Oh, they're nice,
judgy and rude.
I mean, they can be assholes.
Don't get me wrong, but I mean,
we had one jump over the gate while we were trying
and take her collar off, so
that was, that was fun.
Cow with tops. I like that.
Yeah, yeah.
It was pretty high gate, too.
I was, we were kind of impressed.
That is impressive. I don't, I've never seen that
before. Yeah.
What is, I'm sorry. I have to pause.
fucking Frank just showed up
by the way. Oh, is that fucking Frank
over there? And the way he's looking at us, we're
sitting in his spot. Oh, shit.
Are we? Which is... Oh, no.
Yeah. Well,
he should be okay. He's counting
He's all right. Yeah, he's all right.
Sorry, I just got a little distracted.
There's a sign up with his name,
so... No, you're good.
It says fucking Frank, too.
We didn't mean that. Yeah, that's just his
name. Like, I'm not even
embellishing.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
So what are you thinking of doing now?
There's a few job openings around me that are like customer service reps and stuff.
And they're like companies that are ag-based, but then I don't have to be out in the cold winter and stuff like that.
Because honestly, my coworker would tell you that I'm the worst person be working with when it's super cold out.
So.
And where are you at right now?
I'm in the Thoma, Michigan.
Oh, the Thumb of Michigan.
Okay.
And I mean, I know you got some beef with that, Charlie, how you say that we're not really a thumb and stuff.
Just anyone with the brain can see that was Michigan looks way more like a mitten than Wisconsin.
Well, that's exactly it.
Don't, we don't need to go down this road for a 30th time on this podcast.
Yeah.
Yeah, I figured we probably didn't need to do that.
You brought it up, okay, Aaron?
I know I brought it up.
I know I brought up.
I think I left it in my voicemail.
And honestly, I think I left the voice bill a month ago.
And if you asked me what it was about, I have no idea.
So I was going to be like, yo, Jared, can you bring it up so I remember what it is?
Jared, what was in it?
Something about you need advice for being a JV softball coach.
Oh, yes.
Oh, you're a JV softball coach.
Oh, yeah.
What car do you drive?
I am a Jeep Grand Cherokee kind of driver, 2014.
All right.
Makes sense.
that lots of cargo space for all the gear.
So wait, do we find out?
You know what else has a lot of cargo space?
What's that?
Some maybe with a hatchback on it.
Oh.
I asked her what kind of car she drives.
She said Jeep Wrangler.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, Grand Cherokee.
Marley came up and started talking pole tabs.
So my bad.
I love Marley, but I don't think he knows we're on a podcast.
I think he doesn't does not care.
Yeah, one of the two.
Were you guys drinking today?
We're at the 1029 bar here in Minneapolis.
Oh, cool.
I have no idea where that is, but that's awesome.
Yeah, it's just a hop, skipping a jump over the other state that looks more like a hand.
But, you know, something to consider sometime.
So what's going on with the JV squad?
How they look in this year?
Honestly, Miles, it's going to be rough, I think.
We already had three injuries.
last week.
Oh, no.
Did Emily hurt her knee?
Um, one girl did, she did, uh, hurt her knee.
She twisted it throwing a ball.
Don't ask me how.
She just like went to crow hop and down she went twist the knee kind of thing.
Uh, were there waterworks involved?
Uh, there were.
There were.
Yeah.
So we, we got her, we got her to the bench and she was just chilling out, ice pack out and
everything.
So we're, we're going to.
with that. Another girl got a concussion last week. How's that happened? A big,
play at the plate. Oh, I wish that was what the deal was. I really wish it was.
Hit with a pitch. Oh, it's even worse than that, Charlie. Fell out of her car.
No, they can't drive quite yet.
Okay. Make sense. J.V. Yeah. So we were.
inside because you know Michigan weather is probably a lot like
Wisconsin and North Dakota weather about this time of year you get real good days and
you have days where it is cold as heck out.
And it was a cold as heck day and we were in the gym.
And one of our drills was throwing a medicine ball like while twisting your hips to get
the rotation to, you know, really line drive the ball.
And the one girl threw the medicine ball to the other girl and the girl took it to the
face. Damn. Did she call 1-88-Nic-8-8-5-5? 1-8-5. My bad. She did not. She did not. We got,
all of a sudden, I got pulled by one of the other students because we were doing a circuit,
so I was helping with like the conditioning side of it. So making sure they were staying in their
planks and stuff. And the girl's like, um, so-and-so just got a hit in the face with a medicine ball.
And so it's like, oh, and so I went over there and we had to have her pinch her nose because she had a nose bleed.
And so it's not funny, but it's just like you had a nose bleed to any injury and it just makes it a little bit less serious in my mind.
Like it's like, oh, my God.
Especially when you're walking around with the tissues outside the nose.
It's impossible to take someone serious.
You know, like a tampon shoved shoved up your nose.
It's just how you're supposed to take them seriously.
And just put two Zins up there, you know.
Yeah.
So here's a question.
This could have easily been avoided.
If you're in a gym,
why don't you just have them throw the medicine ball against a wall?
Smart.
Well, that was the varsity coach.
She's awesome.
And we were trying to, like, do it so that they would be trying to get their reflexes and stuff.
And we've done this drill.
So I only graduated out of high school.
It's going to be five years this spring.
And so she was doing this drill, like when I was playing for her and stuff.
So we're like,
this drill's no problem you know whatever
and then it
became a problem so now we'll be
throwing it against the wall for now on
because we had we had other injuries
I'll get there once we get this one done
but yeah it was just
it was terrible we're it's like what the heck
in all of our years of doing this
so it just takes one
they said that about 9-11 too
they said what the heck in all our years are doing this
yeah never happened
did you just bring up a 9-11 I mean this is
kind of their 9-11 if you asked
me, right?
Yeah, I suppose.
They have to change their whole system of operating now.
Now, this is the TSA line of...
Yeah, they have to throw it against the wall.
That's new TSA measures.
So do you think you're going to stick with the softball career path,
or are you giving up on it?
We're going to stick it out as long as, like,
my next job is flexible with the schedule,
because that's the biggest thing that I'm worried about
with being the new job is the flexibility.
because the schedule for softball is three to five,
so I'd have to be leaving early,
and it's just that's going to be the hardest thing,
along with games,
like if we have to go to somewhere an hour away.
So that'll be the hardest thing,
which I mean,
if I have to hang the coat up temporarily,
then I can, but we'll see.
Do you guys have to wear the uniform like baseball coaches do?
No, I luckily can wear a pair of leggings
and an ugly shirt.
the shirt of the school.
That's good.
I think it's absurd that baseball managers
wear the uniform.
I kind of like it.
Like if football coaches,
I'd wear the full pads.
Basketball, the coaches
out there with these
basketball shorts on
with an arm sleeve on.
I 100% think that
you should do that as a video.
That would be pretty funny.
The guys in the side of the ring
are just all.
So what do we got to do
to turn these girls around, get them back on the winning, winning side?
Honestly, I think we just need a lot of focus.
There's not, I mean, they're JV girls.
So maturity is not there.
But compared to last year's team, my maturity level that's there is just, oh, my,
like it's, it's insane.
What's happening?
So they're getting less and less mature as the time goes by?
Yeah.
So basically, I have one girl that is, she's saying,
Helen Keller jokes.
Like she.
That's just good, clean fun.
What do you mean?
She sounds like the glue gal on the team.
Well, she
kind of gets the team going, but then they can't
like focus if that makes sense.
So they get very, very.
How are you supposed to focus with a well-played
Helen Keller joke?
Well, it's more.
Sorry.
You know, the Helen Keller jokes,
those go back years and years.
I mean, that's pretty much you get into high school.
They give you a notebook, a trap or keeper.
And then Helen Keller jokes, all 12 of them.
And so what else do we have?
It's also good to know that with all of the changes in society,
that the kids still think Helen Keller jokes are funny.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Some things will always be there.
And I guess that's one of them.
Enough times passed.
we also have we almost busted the scoreboard in the gym that's like four years new because they
did because they didn't think to pull the bow net that we hit into closer to the where they're batting
so one of the girls popped it up and almost busted the scoreboard and it was just we're
we're already not in great terms with the school money wise and why because you've gotten
sued so many times for the injuries?
No, no, not that.
It's just like we overbought equipment
one time and so we're working on that.
You're in the dog house essentially
with the athletic director.
Yeah.
Okay, well, that didn't answer my question
of how we're going to turn this ship around.
It just seems like you're pointing out more problems.
Yeah, there's, I think
we have to turn this around by
some good old running
and just,
Oh, God, yeah.
Nothing will turn the ship around more than more of the conditioning.
Yeah, just what I know.
Hey, you guys don't have any talent.
So let's just make you really conditioned in a sport that requires no conditioning.
I mean, if it gets on the listen, then maybe we'll, I mean, we're working on other drills and stuff.
But if they're not paying attention and I almost get hit in the head with a ball because they think it's funny to just whip balls that the coach falls.
she's talking then.
What question is, have you lost the locker room?
I think you have based off of what we've heard.
Yeah, we don't have like the locker room meetings.
We just have the dugout meetings.
And those are like once or twice a week kind of thing because the head coach,
she takes the rest of it.
So it's just we're,
we're struggling with it.
So it's just I think I'm so young that they see me more as a friend instead of their coach.
Yeah.
Which I mean,
with being friendly and goofing off and stuff.
At the end of the day, we have to, you know, that boundary can't be crossed.
You got to go lead tasso on them.
You ever watch Ted Lasso before?
I have not.
You got to go just watch the lead tasso episode and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
Got it.
So you need, if they view you as a friend, you got to show up tomorrow at practice and be the biggest
hard ass they've ever met in their entire life.
run them into the ground, tell them they're not good enough,
because nothing will make them bond together more than hating you.
That's true.
That is true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My coworker has told me that.
He's like, Aaron, you're not your friend.
You're not their friend.
You are their coach.
You're there to make them better.
You're not there to be besty, besty, and get all the dirt in school.
So.
No.
Oh, you're getting roped up in the gossip?
It's a slippery slope.
Give us some gossip going on around the high school right now.
oh boy i mean i know last year's gossip they haven't told me much of this years but i know last year
involved my brother because he was still in school then and that was that was some interesting stuff
what's your brother been doing oh i mean he's straightened out now because now he has a job to worry
about and stuff but before there's a lot of a lot of good old high school partying which is fine
but on the drive back was the problem.
So your brother got a Dewey in high school.
He never got caught, but he did roll his truck a few times.
Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods.
Yeah.
A couple times.
Did they call him L.T. Gray around the school now?
They probably could.
Because you say his name and they're like, wait, you're his sister?
I'm like, yeah.
And they're like, holy.
shit you got some stories don't
I'm like I don't get involved with that
I'm like nope that's not my side of the
thing I'm not doing that
wow yeah you got to
straighten him out that's not good that's dangerous
yeah he's he's gotten
better so that's at least
better he's gotten a few
good talking tos from when he
shows up drunk so
I didn't we're presuming
he was underage drinking
you know that whole
that whole thing.
What's he doing now?
He is driving milk truck
and he's
She shouldn't have that job.
But he's interviewing to go
to the local sheriff department.
Oh, classic.
That's the
That's a standard rotating door
from it's like, it's like
Catch me if you can.
You gotta flip them, you know?
The guy who knows washing checks
more than anyone is the guy
who used to wash checks.
Same with the police department.
He knows the internet.
now she's 22 she doesn't know what washing
checks is that's true do you know what a check is yeah I know what I check
have you ever wrote a check I have I write lots of checks like to pay
medical bills or like to pay my she's a signer for the school for the medical
bills or like to pay my cattle supplies off because you know they got to have the vet out
every once in a while that's that's lots of fun so how much did that school spend on
injuries last year. Oh, I've, I honestly have no idea, but I know this year it's just, just from
this season in the past two weeks, it's just, it's probably not, it's probably not great. I'm not
going to lie. I mean, you know, like high school sports, you got to like sell like pizzas or like
water soft or salt to raise money for equipment. This softball team's got to do it just to pay for the
medical bills. They've just started selling drugs for the bigger profit margin.
Yeah, they had to sell coupon books door to door so I could pay for Emily's knee surgery.
Does the school pay for that? They potentially could. I had to look into the concussion
protocols and stuff for reports. And it is seen like, yes, they potentially could have to pay for it
because we have a broken finger and a sprained wrist also. So for sure. Well, do.
not let those girls listen to this podcast
because they'll know all about nicolaylaw.com.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're definitely getting fired.
That may be the end of the softball team.
Yeah.
I mean, right now, we were already sitting at 10 girls
and one with a broken finger,
we're down to 9 and depending on when the twisted knee
and the concussion and the sprained wrist comes back,
I don't know if I'll have a team to play.
So I'm going to play seven men, seven women softball.
I mean, we,
could, but I feel bad for my outfielder then, so especially against some of the big teams that
hit bombs, but yeah, no pun intended, but do you think they're milking these injuries at all?
Jared.
Look at Jared.
I mean, Jared, you're on the right track.
There's a few that probably are, so.
I mean, coach, you got to get these folks inspired.
Yeah, I know.
I don't want to contribute.
I know.
That's why I was also calling you guys to try and get that.
I know Miles, he talked about it before, and you had a coach where he'd yell like,
we're done and stuff.
There you go.
Yeah.
Miles, how does the cream rise to the top?
You got to walk in a locker room tomorrow.
And you got to get everyone sat down and just be like, hey, what do you?
What are you, a bunch of girls or something?
There you go.
Little sexism goes a long way.
I like it.
That's all you got.
Miles, come on.
You got home.
And then this and that.
you guys aren't worth anything.
I'm wasting my fucking time.
You know,
you really got to just make them feel terrible about themselves
and hate you so they bond together.
Yeah,
you know all their insecurities, right?
Yeah.
Start laying them out.
Who's got insecurities?
Oh, gosh.
I'm not,
I'm not going to say their insecurities on air.
That's not right.
That's smart.
No.
Even I didn't go that far.
No,
I was saying that smart.
That smart.
That was the first test to make sure she could be a coach.
but then once you get into the locker room,
just start bullying these kids to their face
like they did in the 90s.
Yeah, just start blaming players, like calling them out,
be like, hey, Emily, your knee is,
I know you're faking it, you know?
Hey, we put you in right field because you suck.
You know, like, hey, you know,
I don't know, they should call you.
What's the opposite of catcher?
Pitcher.
No, like the catcher who can't catch.
Miss her.
Yeah.
Does it call you a misser because you can't catch anything back there?
You know, he's at a start just calling them out.
If you could blame a loss on a player, you know, just be like, hey, Emily, we lost because of you, by the way.
How do you find the hard, hard coach kind of thing goes?
Do you find that they respect it more?
I mean, there's a few girls at first.
like the girls that returned from last year
they'll if I bring out like
the more serious tone and stuff
because I had to do that last week at one point
they're like are you serious here Aaron
I'm like yes I am dead serious
like we're going to do what I'm
saying or else you guys are running
doing push shops burpees Mary Catharins
you know all those fun things
what's Mary Catherine
so basically like you put your
fist like so put your elbows
on the right angle
it's next to your head so you have
like fists kind of at your ears and then you would stand in a regular position and then you would
like drop down kind of like onto one knee but you'd hold yourself up like as if you're
proposing and then just keep bouncing back and forth they they really hate those ones but
I don't know I'd rather not do a burpee but they'd rather not do Mary Catherine so yeah that's
tough I mean at the other day dude at the other day though you can put your head
head down nice and I just know that it's just JV.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we're trying to form it like get them better for the varsity level
because varsity coach, you're not going to take any crap and stuff. But I mean, I'm trying to
get them to that level so that they are ready for varsity. So that's like kind of where it's
hard for me to figure out, okay, we have to really step up and get our shit together and
heads out of our asses. But I mean, but like, let's be honest. Anyone who's good
enough that we should be worried about is already on varsity.
Yeah.
Even as a freshman.
So yeah,
you're finally losing battle here.
Yeah,
I mean,
you're just,
you know,
I don't want to say it,
but,
you know,
it just feels like an after school program to me at this point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's what we're kind of trying to do is get them right for varsity,
but also have fun at the same time.
And it's just,
there's a lot to it.
All right, kids.
Let's have some fun.
Throw these medicine balls at each other's faces.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was, we regret that one.
So, yeah, they'll be, they'll be fine.
I mean, it's not like they were close together either.
So we were like, okay, I mean, the ones that got injured, they're not,
they're the ones who need a little bit more work and stuff, like one-on-one,
which I'm fine with will help them and stuff.
But it was just like, okay, we don't.
did not need that, but it's okay. We'll figure it out. Do you want to one day be a professional
softball coach? Oh, no, no, no, no. That would not. That wouldn't work well. I'm good with the level
I'm at, let's be honest. Because I, with my five and a half years working on the dairy farm there,
Charlie, I can talk to cows a hell of a lot better than I can talk to people. Why are we even
focusing on this? You don't, they don't have the interest. I hate to say, you don't have the interest either.
And I think you're collecting a check.
Yeah, this is just a three to five for you.
Yeah.
Just clock in, clock out.
Don't even think about it.
I mean, I want to make them better for the future.
And I want to make them have fun.
But I don't see myself going farther with it myself.
So you know what?
Actually a good coaching technique you could try if you feel like their heart's not into it.
You completely check out and just say, I don't have any plans for practice today.
you guys do whatever you want because you want to do it anyways.
And it'll actually, they'll start to organize and they'll do their own practice,
which is kind of crazy.
So then you get to don't have to do anything because they'll feel bad and awkward
and they're going to be like, wow, we pushed her to the limit.
So we should probably practice.
Yeah, you'll find a new leader.
You'll find, you'll find someone's going to step up.
The captain to build the team around.
It's either going to go that way or they're just going to start reciting Helen Keller
jokes in a circle.
Yeah.
And then they'll tell their parents they didn't do anything at practice.
And then the PTO is going to be on your ass.
PTA?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was going to say,
I was like,
that'll be fine and dandy until the athletic director shows up
and sees I'm not doing anything or the superintendent.
Then I won't have a job.
So.
Yeah,
but here's the thing.
Like what?
You getting paid like 500 bucks for the season for this?
A little more than that.
But it's,
I mean,
if you lose the job,
it's not the end of the world.
Yeah,
but I'd rather not. I really enjoy it.
All right.
All right. Well, what's the end game?
For my life.
Well, we're just going to, we're going to sail.
We're going to work our butts off and just see where things take us.
So, yeah, it's going to be what it is.
So no plans.
I mean, eventually, like, have a house and husband and kids and have my own herd, but, like,
job-wise, we're just going to figure it out because I'm a little unsure as of right now.
That's totally fun.
Yeah, you don't need to have it all worked out.
Charlie and I still don't know what we're doing.
Yeah, we're not sure.
We're staring here at 12 empty pole tabs.
Charlie and I have a call about like once every like six weeks and we're like, hey, do you know what the fuck's going on?
He's like, no, do you?
No.
And eventually.
Oh, go ahead.
You just don't care anymore.
And you just let it rip.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you guys did a hell of a job with the podcast.
I've been listening since the very beginning.
I've loved every episode.
So I appreciate you guys have been doing it.
It's fun.
We appreciate that.
Thank you.
We appreciate it.
And as a token of thanks, we could give you a little nugget for you,
for you to play for the, for the team.
Yeah.
What's there?
what's your guys's name?
We are the ugly bear cats.
The ugly bear cats?
This is the bad news,
ugly bear cats?
I think I know the problem here.
Who named that team?
It's like ugly, like you B-L-Y.
You ain't got no alibi,
you ugly.
Hey,
hey,
you ugly.
Yeah, if you were to like go on
autocrect and you're not from the area,
autocrect is automatically
going to put it as ugly bear
cats. Like that's, it's literally going to do that. Ubley. UB. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You B-L-Y. Okay.
All right. All right, Chuck. This is a message to the, the ugly lady bear cats JV softball crew.
Are you guys sick of people calling you the ugly bear cats? Yeah, you're going to take that or are you going to do
something about it? Because you know they're saying that behind your bat right now. And coach Aaron over here,
she cares about you guys a lot.
And you guys need to step it up and start taking this thing seriously.
No more Helen Keller jokes.
No.
Where's the Helen Keller gal at?
Really?
Seriously?
I was making those when I was a kid.
It's not a new joke.
Get some new material.
They stopped being funny in 1996.
Mm-hmm.
They were funny then.
They were pretty funny.
And afterwards, I'd love to take a peep at the jokes to see what you got.
Charlie can use some of that.
We're off topic right now, Miles.
But guys,
Aaron is not your friend.
Let's stop hitting each other in the face with the med balls, all right?
Yeah.
Let's use our reflexes.
Let's catch them.
And if you did get injured, call 1-855 Nicolet or go to nicolet law.com.
You're in factually obligated to tell you kids that.
You can get all the money you need out of that school.
If you got injured enough, you might not have to work, honestly.
Honestly, forget softball.
Just try to get injured, okay?
Make sure there's ticket out.
Make sure there's a lot of witnesses.
It could be your golden ticket if you guys keep doing that med ball drill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're going to attempt to get hurt.
We kind of want to play games.
So don't let's do that.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
We got a game coming up this Saturday.
I want you guys in bed by seven.
I want you up at seven.
What a hearty breakfast?
All right.
And no phones away.
You know what?
Let's just everyone go put their phone in a bin over here.
you can get them back at the end of the season.
This is time to lock in like LeBron and the playoffs.
All right.
No more Twitter or X, I guess.
You guys don't know what Twitter is.
You're too young for that.
All right.
So let's lock in.
Hands in the middle.
Hands in the middle.
One, two, three.
Lady Bearcats.
Ubly Bearcats.
Ubly Bearcats.
Three, two, one.
Ubly Bearcats.
Goal.
All right.
Now, if that doesn't rally that team to the next two,
I'm not sure what will.
Yeah, yeah, it'll be, it's going to be interesting.
It'll be what it is.
So it's going to be fun.
Yeah, I think it'll be fun.
That's what we're here for, just a good time.
Yeah, you guys are good.
Yeah.
Can you say one of the Helen Keller jokes?
One of them was I think Helen Keller could hit the ball faster than I could because
my batting average sucks.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
All right.
So, like, it was like an original.
That was an original.
Yeah, that was a catered one.
Wow.
Oh, yeah.
She really went after your weakness there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn.
So I was just like, all right, guys.
I was like, all right, that's not how we talk by ourselves because then you're not
going to ever hit the ball.
Like at that point, you got to have, it's a whole mental game.
It is a mental game.
Do you think.
So, hold on.
So like when my kid does something you're not supposed to, but it's funny, I laugh a little
and then try and discipline.
Is that what you did after she said that?
It was a hard not to laugh.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
So I'm a very, like, giggly person in general.
Like, it sounds really weird, but I am like someone who cannot take things very seriously.
And that's a really, it's a big flaw.
But, you know, we're, we deal with it.
It's fine.
And so when she said that, I was like, holy shit.
Like, as I'm laughing, you cannot say that.
Like, if we say that in the field, you will be benched.
Like, that's not.
She's like, you can't.
We only got seven people.
At that point, we had 11, so.
That was pre-medicine ball.
So you're a giggly person, but I haven't heard you giggle that much on this comedy podcast.
Miles, we're in trouble.
We better get our own coach here.
I know.
Oh, God.
Why don't you coach us podcasting before we let you go?
Yeah, give us a speech for our, for better podcasting.
Let's hear it.
Oh, God.
You are really, you really put me on the spot here, guys.
Go for the weaknesses.
Go for what we're self-conscious about.
to say the stuff that we just said to you.
Dig it.
Really put us down.
All right.
Miles,
you can't talk about Charlie's divorce as much.
Like that doesn't,
that doesn't apply.
That's really going to hurt your co-hosts his feelings on that.
That's not going to go.
And Charlie,
you know,
sometimes you got to,
you got to give Miles to ban for the doubt on his ideas.
Like,
you got to let him go with it.
Like you guys are a great podcast host duo.
And if you go at a child,
other it's not going to work and then you're not going to have a good podcast. So we got to like
narrow it down, which I mean you both have improved within the years with other callers calling
you out. All right. Aaron, I am going to reverse that that for you. Charlie,
try another marriage. We'll see if this one works this time. Miles, your ideas suck. Let Charlie
interrupt you. You want to go for the weakness and really just twist in there, you know?
Got it. Got it. Yeah. Charlie.
There's a reason why your wife wanted to divorce.
You got to say stuff like that.
Yes.
Yes.
Miles,
there's a reason why you're not more successful.
Your ideas suck.
There's a reason why you got to do a podcast with Charlie.
It sucks.
And that's actually a double-banger.
You got us both in that one.
Yeah, that's good.
So work on that practice on us.
You've listened to enough podcasts.
Write us a roast.
And then translate that skill to your team.
Got it.
Got it.
Oh, Lord.
I don't know how to roast you guys
Because you guys are both awesome
I mean Charlie have gone to your show in Saginaw last October
It wasn't this past October but like 2024
Saginaw is what it is
Saginaw
What's Saginaw?
Just north of Detroit not too far away
Are you making the hand Charlie?
I know it kills you too but are you making the hand to show him
I was drinking water Miles is too busy laughing at SAG
What is that Saginaw?
Segan off.
See?
You know, let Miles pinch hit for you on the coaching.
And let's just see how you guys wrap up after six months.
You want me to pinch hit?
Yeah.
I like that idea, Miles.
You can come to good old rule Michigan, Summer Michigan.
God, that would be fun.
That would be so great.
They wouldn't know what happened.
You bowl.
I'd be a tornado of coaching going on in that gymnasium.
We might need that, though.
I mean, my cousin, he did tell me, he's like, if you can't get him under control, I'll come
and just yell at them and they'll be angry at me, and then you'll look like the good person.
So he's like, I can come yell at them so they get their asses in the year because I'm not
a mean person.
So.
Yeah.
I think that's the move.
Yeah.
All right.
I'll see you in Saganoff.
I mean, you're going to come east a hour or so, but.
Yeah, I'll see an ugly.
There you go.
We got some good bars and stuff, so you guys might have to come for a podcast.
We'll do a couple two-tree shots, a couple two-tree beers, and then we'll head to practice.
That sounds good.
We'll just come there with Nicolet's shirt on.
Yeah, yeah, we might need that because how it's been going, because season literally started March 9th.
And here we are, what, three weeks later.
And we are already down girls, and it's only spring break.
so.
Hey,
it's crazy.
Like a failure in the middle.
You got this.
Yeah.
Or it's definitely been a little rough,
especially with the job thing
in between.
It's just like,
holy shit,
what the hell am I doing?
So.
You got it.
You got it.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
One foot in front of the other.
If you're going through hell,
keep on going.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
don't slow it down.
If you're scared, don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.
Yes, sir.
That's a good song too.
I can't remember who's saying it,
but it's a hell of a good song.
Well, why don't you play it for the team,
rally the troops, all right?
I might have to.
I'd be honest with me, guys, we're down back.
Emily heard her knee.
I'm pretty sure that Chanel is faking that concussion injury.
She's probably doing drugs before.
That's why her eyes are dilated.
I can't wait for miles to come coach this team personally.
All right.
Well, listen, Emily, you watch for deer out there, right?
And hope you can find yourself a herd, all right?
Well, we'll do.
I mean, I almost got one on Wednesday with my car.
So it's rough out there.
Watch out for cows.
Yeah, well, we haven't had to deal with that yet.
But my cow almost had to be one of the ones you had to watch out for last.
week so you got you're wrangling you're wrangling cows you're wrangling teenagers good luck with that
yeah and soon within two and a half months the cows are got babies so I'll have calves wrangle too
oh boy all right well let them suck your finger from me all right we'll do charlie will do
tickle their brisket okay can do I'll feed mine some cookies for you too
all right they are they're big Oreo cookie fans oh yeah me too I think I
was born to be a cow.
Well, technically I was born to be a human, but
all right, talk to you later.
Perfect.
See you guys. Thanks.
Bye, bye.
I actually think Charlie and I would be a great duo as a coaching.
Like, if we were a coaching duo,
I think we would be a good ying and yang out there.
You think so?
Yeah.
I just can never care.
Because I'd be the hard ass and then they'd come to you for support
and you'd help them out and it just would be a good thing.
Yeah, it's hard.
It's hard for me to be like, well, I'd be going, it didn't really matter, though, does it?
I know.
And I would overdo it, you know?
Yeah.
I would overcompensate for your lack of caring.
Yeah, that would be good.
That would be good.
Some sports I care about, but only if I'm in them, you know.
It's hard for me to coach because I'm like, guys, really?
What are we even doing here?
You know?
None of this will matter in a few years.
Right, right.
Let's go find the bows and do archery, shall we?
well chuck is that another episode of the bellied-up podcast that is i think that fireball took a little steam
