Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to another episode of the Bellied Up podcast. I'm here with my buddy Miles, Dakota Miles, ladies and gentlemen. How you doing, Miles? I'm doing good. How are you, Chuck? Doing real good. Miles, do you think I could pull off a mustache?

Um, I think you can. I think, so, you know, there's, there's different types of mustache guys. There's, uh, like this guy's a cowboy mustache. Yeah. there's this guy's a porn star mustache. And then there's this guy's a petter ass mustache. Yeah. I just am afraid you may flirt a little too much in the last category.

Yeah, yeah. You think if I shave everything off, I'm going to door to door telling people I'm not a petter ass. Hey, you might see me around the neighborhood. Just want you know. I am not on the registry. Yeah. Yeah, you would be good, though.

I think you should get yourself a mustache. Yeah, I've been talking about it. Have you? I thought I'd try it out this year. That's also on my list of things to do this year. I want, you know, just got mustache is Billy Deuce. My Billy Deuce.

And he looks good. Does he? Yeah, he looks good with the mustache. See, I think I'm going to be more porn star category. You're, yeah,

you got a thick stash. Yeah, but it's not thick enough to be like, wow, this guy should be the voice of Ford and Budweiser. No, no, I didn't say that.

I mean, I was just trying to make it feel good about yourself. Nice. But the truth. Hopefully it is. And I honestly would like to see it go with a little, a little, a little, a little bit of handlebar action down there. Okay. You'd like me to start with the handlebar and whittle it down? Yeah, honestly. I think that would be great. What is there a facial, um, facial hair feature that you've always wanted that you've never, uh, done? Um, I mean, I've been pretty able to do whatever I want. I know you've been able to, Miles, but it's like seventh grade. I've been able to do it.

I know how you're a real big man, Miles, but whatever. I'm saying is like, did you ever want to like do the, uh, the creed like just under the lip here, you know? Oh, the sole patch. The sole patch. I have, I, I have never had wanted to. I think it would be very funny to do one time. I think you should, I think we should, I think you, because you trim yours. Holy shit. You trim that separately than the rest of your beard. You just do one guard at it, the whole thing. Uh, yeah, I don't really, I think I just one guard the whole way. Is, am I doing it wrong? We should grow it out. Should I grow it out? No. no, no. Well, yeah, girl, the whole thing out. And then we should just do soul patches for an episode.

The soul patch episode. That'd be cool. Well, first before the sole patch episode, we should do the go-tie episode. Yeah. We shoot multiple at ones. We can just bring a clippers to the bar. Yeah. I mean, it's smart, though, because like we do go a couple months between episodes. Yeah. Okay. Let's say it now. What are we going to do the next episode? just a Soul Patch episode? You think? Okay. All right.

You could do that. It'd be great there. It'd be like the dirtiest of all. You know? All right. We'll start with that. Well, no, I just, I'm not deterring away from it.

Hitler's the dirtiest. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's the most offensive for sure. Yeah. But if we, should we like do some chops to start it off?

Like we just. Do you want to know in high school? I used to have. side burns like Joe Mower down to my earlobes over here. So just like that. Oh, really? So like they weren't even like mutton chops. Yeah.

They were just extended. Like they were just here. Yeah. And you thought that was a good idea. Oh, that was sick. Really? Yeah. Did you have long hair too?

No. Short air. I didn't get long hair until college. When you moved out of Bud's house. Yeah. Did Bud like the long hair? I actually have no idea. Really?

You never asked him, huh? Which he definitely didn't like the long hair. long hair. Well, and then you have an idea. But he also, like, could have just not even noticed that I had long hair. Yeah, you've been like, who's the girl? My other son brought up. Remember when I had long hair? What? No. Yeah. Yeah. It's just that indifferent. Yeah. He didn't get. Did, uh, he definitely thought I looked like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, a, like a, a, like a, a, like a, a, like a, a, like a, a, like a, a, like a, a, like a, you say that to you. I mean, I mean, . I mean, he's had the same haircut for the last. 50 years. Why change when you got right? Why change? Um, okay. So I get it. I get it. What's a

hair on your body that you're like most proud of? Why are you looking at my gawk? Huh? You were just going like this. No, I was just looking. I was scanning your body. I was scanning your body. Oh, the hair on my body that I'm most proud of? I don't know. I'm just ripping here, Miles. we're just, I'm just getting warmed up. You know what? You're not going to expect this, but I think my eyelashes. Oh my gosh, she does have good eyelashes. I've been told my whole life.

I'm going to be a great long eyelashes. I shouldn't have looked at those. I'm never going to be able to unsee them. And you can't unsee them. They're right in for your eyes. Actually, I don't see them. Isn't that crazy that we don't see our eyelashes? You ever try looking at your eyelashes?

I can see one right there. Yeah, I've been battling long eyelashes. whole life. It's a strong burden to carry. Well, it's why I get so tired at the end of the day because they're so long and heavy. Yeah. Everyone's got their cross to bear. I know. You know, you know, God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. Do women usually notice your eyelashes?

Not so much anymore because I just don't ever talk to women. No, but, I mean, how do you know you have good eyelashes? Isn't that like weird though? Like, the amount of run-ins with women I have now, especially working here and just like there's no chicks working here right now. like we've had gals that've worked here but there's none of them work here right now it's like i don't ever see we've had other than my wife or her my wife's friends we've had broads work at this company they're not here anymore i don't charlie gets really triggered when i say chicks no i don't i just thought i was making up i was making up a bit not chicks but i mean i think um it's just funny

when you're talking about when you're talking about your employees because they have all those like weird things so i just thought was a funny bit yeah we had a bunch of broads working here i don't I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I know, but it was like the bit, you know. So, yeah. Yeah, your eyelashes, they're fine. They're fine.

They're fine. They're kind of short, actually. Well, beyond, beyond, going beyond just our eyelashes, Miles, what else is going on with you this week? Let the people know. They want a little insight into your life, Miles. My life this week, going on vacation here and next. week or so. What is Miles's favorite thing to do on vacation? Number one, golf, really enjoy that. Number two,

I like having days where there's no plan whatsoever and the day just unfolds in front of me. You know, if we go to the pool, we go to the pool. If we go to a store and buy something and go to a store and buy something, you know what I mean? You just don't care. You don't have an agenda, you know, and you're able to completely because the rest of my life, even if I don't have like a strict schedule in my mind, I have an agenda of how my day should go and what I need

to do, you know? And if you don't get on the ball with that agenda, you start to lose momentum and you feel a little... It's nice to step out of that agenda mentally. Yeah. It's kind of nice. Oh, that's good. That's good. Are you going to wear a camo when you're out there? I'll bring some camo. Yeah, go full

camo. That's good. That's good. Okay. What's where you shooting in golf these days. 87, 86? 8786? So. Is that true? You think he actually shoots that, Jerry?

Okay. I think, I think, never in my life have I shot in 87 or 86. I know. I've never broken, I might have broken 100, maybe once cheating. I appreciate the honesty.

Yeah. But here's the thing. You don't try. At all. I try and I still only shoot an 87. Well, hey, I mean, you can see where the effort gap is here. And that's good. I though a lot on the vacation I did this two years ago.

I shot the best round of my life. I shot a 76 on a par 71. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. And I tied my dad. It's a huge kick to my balls.

Damn. So your dad's a much better golfer than you, huh? He is. Is. and my dad didn't really, you know, he wanted us to golf. And we did like golfing. But so like it would be like he didn't know how to teach me how to golf because I'm a really tough personality to teach something to, especially as an angsty like 11 year old. Yeah.

And so he would try and delegate to be like, you know, I'll get you some lessons. Mm-hmm. It never amounted to do anything. You never got lessons? No, I did. It just didn't help. Okay. I also just have the wrong demeanor for golf.

Yeah, you need to not be a stubborn asshole. Well, it's more so I'm what would be considered considered a spas. Oh, are you a little spasistic? Yeah. I've learned to deal with it. Have you? 33 years of age. Because I remember golfing with you and stealing the pin on the green and you start to spaz out a little bit.

He just will never let that go. You ask a couple truck. driving by the golf course to blow their horn and you're like this is not country club attire Charlie, this is not the country club decorum. No, it was more so like I was new. I just had joined this club and, you know, I didn't want people to be like, wow,

the Betcha guy shows up and thinks that he can just fuck around on the course and be disrespectful to this thing because he thinks he's a hot shot because he's got a podcast and videos on the internet. Oh, okay. sorry for not trying to be an asshole. No, I'm sorry for trying to have fun on the golf course. That was my fault. I didn't realize we were working on the golf course.

Oh, God. Jesus. That's fine. Here we go. I have not been invited back to the country. I wonder why. I've been here so many times, not once as he said, you know, I should take you out with the fellas. We should get around a golf and I would have played.

I would have played. But no. Yeah, I think it just sounds like you want to be a part of it. But, you know. Well, I mean, I did, but I don't want to embarrass you from your other friends. I mean, all you have to do is just act like an adult. Huh? Why would I want to do that miles?

Just even act 18. You know, if you go, if you go for all thing, you don't have to worry about anything. You can smoke weed right on the course and nobody cares. I think you probably could. on our course. Okay. There's some golf courses. My buddy, Stonehenge.

Stonerhenge. Stone hedge. See, it's a play on words in Dork County. Great golf course. My buddy, Kevin runs it. And he's got soccer golf. So you can play golf or you can kick a soccer ball at these places and play soccer golf. That sucks.

No, it sucks so bad. It's super fun. It sucks. I love it. I kicked a ball over there. It's great. Because, you know, golf isn't for everyone, but when you add soccer balls,

you increase, you know, the people there that can enjoy the course. I know. Like the problem, though, with golf now is we're growing the game too much to where it's like just too many people playing golf. So I think it's probably good that they're inventing soccer golf and people can play that. Yeah. See?

So it's a win-win for everyone. Yeah. You know? And I'll tell you this. As someone who likes being entertained on the golf course, you know, I think they should do soccer golf and golf at the same time. They don't. They have different times, I believe.

But I just want to be entertained out there, you know. And the clubs and the balls aren't always doing it for me. So sometimes I got to pull a flag. Sometimes I got to see if I can get a semi to honk back at me. I don't think that's rude. No one was behind us. I didn't get that mad. I didn't even get mad about the honking.

I don't even remember that. Oh, I remember. I just remember you and dude dad running around on the green with the flag. stick and ripping it out of the thing. No, we're playing capture the flag. Anyways, Miles, I'm sorry for acting inappropriate on your golf course. It's fine.

I'm sorry. And you were getting mad at me for asking the truck dog because I was supposed to be looking for my ball, but I got distracted from what I remember. There's probably someone behind us waiting for us. Yeah, I didn't really know. Guys, I wouldn't know it was like hurting cats for me that day. Yeah.

And it is wanting to throw that out there. Well, you knew what you were getting yourself into. But again, God gives us toughest battles to as strongest soldiers. That's true. We persevered that day. Yes, we did. We did. Well, Miles, what do you think?

Should we take some calls? Yes. Let's do it. Jaden, what's going on? Oh, nothing much. How are you, boys? We're doing good, man, belly and up to the bar. Tell us what's on your mind.

Hey, so I have a little dilemma here. So I'm a strength and conditioning coach. Make a lot of money. Good for you. No, they don't make a lot of money. He cut out. No. That actually is very funny.

The phone cut out exactly what only word we missed was don't. So Charlie was about to go this whole call thinking that you were rich. Strength and conditioning coach. I didn't know. No, they get paid like dog shit. Yeah. And for the hours you work, it's not great. Okay.

Sorry. What do you mean? Like 3.30 a.m. to like 7 p.m. is not that bad. No, no, not at all. I, no. Mine's actually the flip. So I start at 12 and then I don't get off until 10.30 at night. So.

Well, at least you're getting off. Yeah. I mean, I got to get off somehow. Yeah. So, well, what's a problem then? Where are you a strength conditioning coach at? In the Minneapolis area. In the Minneapolis area?

Yep. At a college? No, at a private sector facility. What does that mean? What does that mean? So it's like, instead of like, you know, you go into lifetime and having a personal trainer, like we just do it specifically for a young athlete.

So anywhere from like kids like middle school. Yeah, like an athletic republic style. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Well, charge them more money. Well, I can't because I'm not the manager. Oh, well, you should start your own deal. Well, that's the, I don't know if I want to do it anymore.

That's the thing. Oh, then quit. Well, that's, that's what the, that's what the whole thing is here. Then quit, dude. What the, quit? Yeah. What else you got lined up? Electrical.

Oh, that's big business these days. I know. And I used to be a concrete guy. So I kind of like get the ropes a little bit. For, for electrical work? Well, I mean, I don't know if you, I don't even know. I don't know. I don't know if you and I were doing the same concrete work, but that didn't.

Well, I just know that they just leave their shit out. And then, you know, we got to clean it up. At least the concrete guys, all their work just gets buried. So you can just leave your mess around and no one has to clean up. Yeah. And you just steal two by fours from everyone else when you need them. As long as they're mildly straight, you're good. Oh, yeah.

But, yeah, so that's the issue. I don't know if I should know if I should stay with this job or if I should go into the electrical side. That was kind of the question I had for you guys. You got any training at all? Not in the electrical. So I do the apprenticeship program. Okay. Yeah, I mean, do you like it?

Do you think? Yeah. I love working more hands-on. That's like another question I had about the small business that I have on the side. Like, that's where I find more of my joy and not just standing and yelling at kids all day. What's the small business? So it's kind of marketing. for tailgators.

So I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. Think of cornhole and think of beer darts. And I made one, a game that you combined both of them. Cornhole and beer darts. So you basically just, you, you have a can on a board and you throw darts at it.

Yep. So the can is actually a little bit like sunken in in the hole where you would normally throw the bag. Uh-huh. And then your whole like objective is to play beard arts from that point. But we designed the fields to look like football fields. So like if you get in the

red zone, you get one point. In the end zone, it's two points. And if you get the can, it's three. Yes, dude. You know, I like it. But I do need to platform something right now if you don't mind. Why? We don't need to keep reinventing stuff in the beer industry.

Do you know what I mean? I feel like I get a message like once a month of someone who invented a new way to shotgun a beer. That's so true. It's like, what was wrong with the key? No, nothing's wrong with the key. What was wrong with your thumb, you know?

And if you're like me, just go back to the tooth. You know, and I get like, like, like I look at the game can jam and I want to gouge my eyes out. It's like. Yeah, that one's. So I'm not talking shit about this one because I've never seen it playing. It might be awesome. But my gut instinct is like we were just, we're, we're, we're inventing too many things at this point. I'm going the other way on this.

I think that what you're saying sounds super fun. We all got a little eyes raised. Oh, yeah. That was initial reaction here before Miles shot on it. No, I do like it a lot more than can jam. I think can jam is just. And how popular is can jam? That's true.

Pretty popular. I think you go the full Monty with this. think we're talking to Olympic sport. Let's put it on the calendar. Now, that would be awesome if beer darts was in the Olympics. Yeah, I think it could be, you know, and it starts off with beer leagues. Okay, obviously, you get it going, kind of like bags. Soon bags is going to be in the Olympics.

Is bags in the Olympics yet? I think you could be. You know why it's not? Why? Because the Olympics told them that they couldn't drink during the matches. And so they're like, yeah, we're out. Really? that's part of the game.

No, I know that's what they said. Yeah, but does the Olympics know that that's part of the... I know, but the Olympics has a strict zero alcohol policy here. What about steroids? But isn't that funny that like... Just tell me it's steroids and they can't.

The deal breaker was that they just couldn't go like 45 minutes without having a drink. That is funny. I mean, that's almost more legendary than being in the Olympics. Um, so sorry. Anyway, so question about your game. Is it like a cork board? Like, will the darts stick into the board then? It's like a dart board mixed with a cornhole board mixed with beer. No, it's literally all it is is you take, uh, you take plywood and you, like we stain them custom make them to whatever people want. And then you just slap some two by fours on there, get it a little angled and then they stick like a beauty. Wow. Does the board degrade after a while from all the sticks? Uh, not the stained ones.

We try to spray paint. That shit did not work out. Yeah, spray paint to, all right. Hey, I, uh, I can be convinced.

It sounds like it would be pretty interesting. Yeah, do you have a video of you playing it? Yeah, we have, I've posted a whole bunch of stuff on our social media account for that. Let's pop it up here. What's a social media account?

Uh, it's Saturday standard. All right. That's, these are nice boards. Those do look nice. Yeah. CSP,

a little Concordia St. Paul's board or what? I want to see this played. Oh, look at that. Okay. Yeah, you know what?

This is fun. This is... This is way better in Kanchia. And I like that you're using real sharp things in an area where someone could easily walk by and lose an eye. Oh, yeah. There's many pauses that have to happen during the games. Yep. And I...

Yeah. Oh, look at this, dude. And then you hit the king. So they got to drink the whole thing. It's just like beer darts after. can is hit or what? Yeah, you just drink to the lot. Like, wherever you hit in the, like the side, you drink to that. But if you hit the top, then you have to finish the whole entire beer. Yeah, it's like beer darts. Yeah. Wow. And, um, have you had any injuries? Can you report any

injuries here? Uh, I've had one dart in the tell, but I was wearing my boots. So we were good. Okay. Yep. So you got to wear those brunt steel toe boots. Exactly. And yeah. And see, you're already thinking sponsorships here. Um, so my. My thing I would have you to make it feel even better, I would think about putting like some cork on on the top. Ah. You know, like so the darts will stick nicely. You can already see some of the boards starting to like get all those, you know,

the holes, yeah, the holes and stuff. But if you do like a dartboard cork type of material on top, that would be really nice. Yeah, that would kind of seal the deal, you know,

like just mentally knowing, oh, it's just a flat dartboard. Yeah, because when I see this, I'm like, oh, they bought these on Facebook marketplace. But if you had a cork top on top of it, you'd be like, these guys bought these online. I got to go get it from Amazon. Yeah. And I'd also like to get kind of the metal dividers on the traditional dartboard in there, too. Oh. Yeah, because then you can, I want to play a little cricket, you know, I want to.

You can play multiple games, then you put the yardage marks on the thing for the football field. Yes. You have first downs and shit. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I like that one. That's a good idea. Mm-hmm. And also if you can integrate, you know, kind of a big scoring board, that's another upsell that you can do. You know, because when you're drinking this much and you're playing with various levels of competitors a lot of people are forgetting scores and then there's fights

over it so but that that's fun looks good yeah I think you gotta get some cork on that do you think the beer would ruin the cork though yeah I thought about cork but then I was like I think the beer would saturate the cork too much it would smell for sure like

you're gonna the cork is very porous and you're gonna yeah so you're right you're right he's right there's got to be some sort of lacquer you can put on top yeah that kind of ruins the if you're putting holes in it not to put holes in your idea miles but you're putting holes in that lacquer right there yeah i think you might be uh hmm i i know what you're saying well try it you never know you never know yeah give it a go and maybe i mean but also like cork

like they use corks and wine bottles true it's got liquid on it all the time well what do you do What do you do when you open a bottle of wine? What is the, what is the guy do? He pulls out the corky as you put it up on your nose, snort it. You're smelling the wine because it's in the cork. Correct. And that can be, you'll know a lot about a guy like about his beer by how his board smells. He's a good bush drinker.

That thing's going to smell so good. Well, and if there's no smell at all, you know that he sucks at this game. Yeah. Yeah. It smells like spotted cow. it's probably an awful, awful board player. I don't, I don't imagine any spotted cow people would want to play this game.

They're too uppity. I do think that like if you have these boards, if it is cork, if you're playing with it though and you leave it in a hot car. I mean, it's, you better not get pulled over. Just don't leave.

What is this game called again? So like that design is called Red Zone. But we also have like a baseball one where you hit like try to hit targets and then like a hockey one. I just haven't had the time to make those yet because of my busy work schedule. But we want a standard name for it. Oh, so the whole company is just called Saturday Standard. We're setting a new standard for how you have a tailgate.

Okay. I don't like that. Did Chad GBT come up with that? No, my fiance did. Oh, she's a keeper, dude. Yeah, she is. You know, I like Red Zone. You could do like, because it's kind of like,

cornhole you know you could do like red hole red hole red hole yeah maybe ask your wife about that one before you uh the the the the hole zone the whole zone you know something like that maybe yeah the beer hole i don't know yeah there's something here i like it though i like i like that that's i'll tell you what this is way better in can jam if you guys want to board just dm me i can i can i can make one for you. Wow. We could be your guinea pig on the cork board. Yeah,

if you want. The national chain. You know, and something else you got to think about is, I don't know what the price of cork is these days. It might drive your price per unit way through the roof. Yeah, that's true.

How much is one of these boards, boards sets? So the cheapest one, we just go like a basic stain. You get three colors. That's going to be around 80 bucks. Okay. And that comes with the darts.

You got to bump out tonight. to $9.99, by the way. $9.99? Yeah. It takes me about, like, to build the board, it'll take me about 30 minutes and then staining probably a couple hours. Yeah. You get all those pre-cuts going.

Yeah. Just run to the Home Depot and they slice up all the plywood. I mean, you know, you all of a sudden, if you go cork too, cut off about 67% of your labor by not having to stay in the board, you know? That's true. although you're going to want to stain the cork the way a dartboard stained well you just buy cork this different color yeah but that's going to be more costly but at one time he could if he's going to die the cork he can just do a bunch all at once batch it that's true

that's that is true yeah and then yeah oh see miles at first he wasn't into it but then i said you know well i just i i i put my guard up every time i get pitched a new way to consume alcohol. You know what I mean? I spent my, I spent the last seven years having people every day pitching me new ways to drink alcohol. How many like beer gadgets have been pitched? Oh my God.

I've gotten, I've gotten so many. And the beer, we've gotten so many sent to the office. You know, I mean, remember, yeah,

it's, and so I, you know, it's like I'm a little skeptical every time now because I've just been desensitized to how many different ways we've, figured out as humans to consume alcohol. But this one is definitely growing on me after all that. So what you think, Mouse, do you think he should stay being a trainer and work on the

passion? Do you think he should jump into a whole new field? I think, I mean, the way you describe it, because if you're going to be a strength conditioning coach long term, you don't describe it as just standing there yelling at kids. You know, I feel like it's always like, oh, it's so full. fulfilling when, you know, these athletes start hitting new benchmarks and then I see him win on the field or the court or the ice and it's just a very fulfilling thing for me. And I feel like it. It is, but it's a lot more yelling because I don't, I mean, I get to work with some high school kids, but I'd say like 80% of the kids I work with, they're around like 11 years old.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I don't feel you do whatever you want. I think you start doing strength and conditioning for standard Saturday. And you start training people. You start training your athletes. And then you guys develop a beer Olympics and then my team will win every year. Is that what I'm getting near? Yeah, that's not a bad idea.

Yeah. We're open to that. Say, where are you guys this time? Where are you at? Fargo right now. Yeah. Where are you at? Fargo.

I'm actually, I'm in Chan Hasson, Minnesota. Oh, yeah. Chan Hass is, isn't that where Prince had a house? Yes, I'm actually like a stone throw away from there. Have you ever been to Prince's house? I have not. Not a big prince guy. Like you're not, you don't like his music.

You don't like him as who he was as a person. Oh, I just, I don't really, I'm more of a country music guy. So that's all I listen to, really. I bet the Prince's house. you should go. It's a pretty cool. I mean, I didn't pay, but I'd say it's, you know, pretty cool. He's got all his shoes up there, like a thousand pairs of shoes.

So if you're in the men's high heels, I would strongly recommend. Strongly recommend. You know, Charlie, it's great. You brought that up because the guy who invented beer darts cornhole hybrid is definitely screams a guy who's into male high heels. Well, dude, think about it. Who is the first guy to be like, I'm going to make some high heels for men. Maybe it started with men and women stole our idea.

Could have been. We don't know. Probably start with men. I mean, why some short king, like literally, like an actual king. Was he a king or was he a short prince? Oh, you see what I did their mouth? So then he became a normal size king after the boots. Yeah.

And it is odd that women wear high heels because women don't necessarily, you know, There's no complex about height with women. Right. I mean, but men have the height complex. Maybe we should make a men's high heel. I think it's called cowboy boots. Yeah, I was going to say it's kind of. That's true.

Get the extra inch and a half. Yeah. No, I think you're in a good spot. I think, you know what, dude? You could always get another job in strength conditioning. Go try being electrician. See if you like it. Six months later, you're like,

it's not for me. You just go get a job again. Okay. Yeah. And then just keep doing the red zone on the side. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I feel like that's probably the best option there.

Well, good. Are you actually going to do it? Or are you just going to keep? Well, I mean, I actually had an interview already. So I'm just waiting. I'm waiting until the summer hits so then I can actually start. Okay. All right.

So I was talking with my fiance and I said kind of whatever you guys say is going to be a big part of my decision. Yeah, dude, go be an electrician. You know, I don't know any electricians that said, I wish I wasn't electricians. Yeah, especially now. They're cleaning up. Yeah, they're making, they're doing well. Yeah. Now you do need to prepare for getting constant manny, petties, having your nails done on the job site.

Yeah, see, that's the one downside that I know. You're going to, you know, depending on where you work, they may have a strict banana hammock policy while you're working. Five-vis banana hammocks. We got a guy who knows where to get him, though. Jared. Jared knows. You know, I heard, I don't know what your diet looks like, but it's a lot of bananas and hot dogs and footlong corn dogs and zucchini's and pickles and. popsicles and

there's a lot of interesting things is what I'm hearing. Yeah, eggplants whole egg plants. I'm just trying to see how many dick-shaped vegetables Miles actually knows. Foods. Chocolate dipped bananas. Well, you get where we're going with this.

You got to be prepared for that because that's what you are walking into. That is true. That is true. Well, keep us posted. on where this all goes. Okay, we'll be very interested to see how it all shakes out here. And if you get any more cool injuries with the darts, send us those videos. That'd be fun. Yeah, I got you. Totally. Awesome. All right. Well, good luck with it. Tell your fiancee. We says hi. Okay. Tell your folks. I say I watch for deer. All right. Thank you. Good. See up. Bye-bye.

Yeah. I mean, I think that'd be fun. I'd play it at Tailgate. Yeah. You know, I give it go. Should we take another call or miles? Let's do it. Oh, spring in the Midwest. smells doesn't mean smooth roads does it means potholes the size of bath tubs or crock pots everywhere after a long fargo winter you know you're driving along in normal speed here in your hometown mouse and then and then you hit one and it's so hard it feels like you drove off a curb and you're apologizing to your car it's so hard and then the tire blows suspension and then you're wrecked and people swerve and you're trying to miss them and you go straight into another car and and and what what do you do when a normal drive turns into a crash in seconds?

Spring road conditions, miles. Yeah, I'm going to call Nicolet. You're going to call Nicolay. And that's why I was thinking. Call it. You don't even have to call them. You can go to Nicoletlaw.com if you're afraid of the phone. Yeah, yeah.

If you get phone fright. Phone fright. You can get anxious. Go to Nicolaylaw.com. Yeah. You can even DM them on Instagram. Yeah, and would probably help if you don't apologize for the accident. Right to the other person as soon as you get in it.

Yeah, don't do that. I did that once. I got into a wreck with a semi, a semi side swipe me, or I maybe veered into a semi. And the lug nuts started taking little pieces out of my little Chevrolet. And I got off. I was like, sorry, man, sorry. And I don't even think it was my fault. But I reflect.

Don't do that. Just call Nicola. Just call Nicolay. 1-855, Nicolay. Charlie, you got the Brunt sweatshirt on. Jared's also wearing the Brunt sweatshard. We're matching bruntz today. I like that.

So the folks, the brunt matching sweatshirt. Look at those guys. Just a couple of guys. I like that we had to show him the exact same sweatshirt twice. Yeah. Get a load of his sweatshirt. Yeah. It's the same one you got.

But what I like about these sweatshirts, Chuck. Big pocket. Big pocket, but I want you to put your other hand in the pocket and feel around. Oh, there's another pocket in the pocket. Let's go. I didn't even know about this pocket yet, Miles. It's a great pocket. You can put whatever you need to in there.

That's great. You put your most important. thing inside the pocket, inside your pocket. And then the less important things are here, because this is a, it's a secure pocket. It's like a trap door. It's a trap pocket. Yeah. You know?

Yeah. Even if, you know, you're at one of those concerts and the police stop you. You know what's put in that pocket. Yeah. Your business car. Yes. Yeah. So.

Yeah. So. Your emergency contact in case there's an emergency. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. I like it. This is a great shirt, Miles.

Great sweatshirt. I love the brunt stuff. Also, I think green's your color. You don't wear it enough. Bring out my eyes. Yeah, the orange and the green really bring out your eyes. The orange gives a little pop to the baby blues. Thank you, Miles.

Oh, I went through her, do not disturb. Your call has been forward to an automated voice. Screen one. All right. So one sibling down. One sibling down. All right. This is the second youngest.

This is Bird. Bird, what's up? How are you? I'm good. I'm just calling you from the Bellied Up podcast. I'm here with Miles. Hi, Bird. Are you recording?

I'm eating. Well, that's all right. Where are you eating? Cereal. Okay. What kind of cereal? Honey bunches of oats. Oh, Tiny's calling now.

You want to go in? Hang on. We're going to merge her in. All right. Tiny? Tight. Hang on. I got Bird on too.

All right. Looping you both in. All right. We got Tiny and Bird. Hi, Ellie. What's going on, guys? I'm just working. We're working on.

You're laying in bed, you lazy ass. Just, I want to walk, Charlie. Why are you in bed? because I just walked five miles You walked five miles Yeah I walked to the lake and back Bridget's working that's good I thought you were going to come visit early

I was going to but I didn't realize you lived five miles away I'm dropping off I do have plants for you And I'm dropping off Okay I'll take them I'm gonna have to pay for them I have three

I don't need them Did we just set up a phone call so you two could talk to each other? You set it up. I don't know. I should have random calls. All right. Well, we're just trying to go through the siblings, see who would pick up my phone. Tiny sent me to voicemail twice.

And then, Bird, you picked up. So thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Bird, where do you work at? I just work out of my apartment. remote. Well, work from home situation. Oh, yeah.

And Ellie, do you have a job? What's a year? It's Tuesday. Are you done with your job for the day? You know, well, I intern, but I'm in college still. I'm a senior. But, you know, in that job market, it's tight, though. So stuff out there.

but you don't plug. Yeah, okay. Just, hire me, someone. All right, well, here we go. This can be your public interview to the world. What are,

what are your three strengths that you bring to the workforce? I'm adaptable. I'm reliable. Well, you missed the call. What's the last one? I'm empathetic. I hold space for people.

Who needs to be heard. Bridget, would you agree? I don't think so. Well, this is not going. Having shared a room with you for 10 years, I don't think I can corroborate. Bridget, what do you think is Ellie's best quality as a, as a, uh, as a, uh, hirey? How much, uh, how much time do I get to think on this? Oh, damn.

She's a personality higher. She's, you're saying. That's very funny because Charlie is also a personality hire. Charlie is also one. We're not dependable. We're not reliable. But occasionally, you know, we'll make a weird situation a little bit more palatable, you know. Or weirder.

Or weirder, depending on our mood, you know. Yeah. It depends. Sometimes I shut off. I'm dependable and reliable. I'm going back on that. I stand my ground on it. Charlie called you in a time of need

and you put him to voicemail two times in a row. And you weren't even doing shit. You were in bed, dude. I was FaceTiming Peter. No. But sorry. You were FaceTiming Peter. See, those aren't details I need to know.

Who's Peter, Charlie? Her Irish boyfriend. She's dating a freaking leprechaun. Charlie. Don't say that. Peter is a very nice. dude, but if you talk to him, he's a leprechaun,

he's got the accent and everything. You know what? Now that I have you both here, I would like to say, I showed Peter that live podcast you guys did of when you phoned me in to set me up with someone. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

He's disappointed that you forgot he was a part of my life. Two weeks after he left, Charlie. You met him. days prior I mean he's a personality hire

I want to remind you personality higher I didn't know I mean you guys you guys got a whole pond between you I didn't know what the deal was you know I mean if we're being honest I know how your brain was work Charlie you're like I'm never going to see this guy again

well you know historically speaking with my sisters they kind of they got hose and the hose go you know, right ladies? Charlie, if we're going down history, I don't think you want us to go down. Oh, let's do it.

I have blocked off my evening if you'd like to go. I don't think we need to go there. You know, especially if either of you want to use the cabin this summer. Oh, yes. Chesh. Okay, this is great.

What do you guys think of Charlie's cabin? because the way he paints a picture of it is that it's a work in progress. Is it a work in progress or is it kind of a shithole? You know, the work in progress. It's comfortable. You know, one thing I would say, are we putting in right now?

Yeah, but go ahead. I think so loft. So the way this works is there's an upstairs where it's an open concept. All he's just going to give some more plan of this. with the way that we have younger nieces and nephews that sometimes like to wander up to spaces they're not not invited to or mom and dad wake up at like

6.30 on a vacation day and then you hear the coffee grinder echoing through the beautiful wooden handle the A-frame home all of a sudden becomes just some sort of symphony, but I would, you know, maybe like a door or a seal-off. That would be my one. Also, wait, this is serious. When I was going down the stairs from the loft down stairs, I almost like, like, shut it down the stairs.

What do you say? How do you say? The railing on the side. Yeah, good. I'm glad you found that. I was wiggling. Like, you know. I fixed that.

Yeah, I was fixed at that. I fixed the friction. and railing, okay? It's fixed. Well, I have you, gals. Can you give me some more dirt on Charlie? I'm always looking for more. Yeah, I feel like there's a lot. Did he ever tell you about how he put the van in neutral and move, push it out of the driveway?

No, he did not. Charlie, what was that one? Was it prom? Well, I had to back out without dad hearing it. So I put it in the neutral. I pushed it down the street and then I fired her up. I mean, that sounds like not a personality hired me. That sounds like ingenuity.

That's a guy who knows what he's doing right there. And I would, if I was, sometimes I was drinking, so I went to drive, so I'd rollerblade to parties. That is an unbelievable visual. Just Chuck Barron's rolling up to the party with his backpack and his rollerblades. My backpack with my crocs in it. Yeah. Yeah, I was, I was a catch. back then.

Bridget, what are you doing? Well, I was working for you, but then you called. Oh, okay. Well, I guess you're still working for me, though. Wait, she works for you? I'm one of her several clients. She's got her own business. Bird shout out your business.

Oh, yeah. Birdie beats LLC. If anybody wants to hire, I'm in the same boat. Shamedless plug. What is the business? Social media marketing. Social media marketing. Oh, yeah.

So you need content for your platforms, you know? Yeah, have you got a business and you want to get more exposure? You hire. Yeah, you got a website bird? Really? Okay. He should make one. Yeah, yeah.

Word of mouth, word of process. Well, I had a weird space, but it just gets so expensive. This is going great. Well, how can people contact you, Bird? Send me a DM. I don't know. You're asking the bellied-up listeners to slide into your DMs to hire you? You may want to pay for that square space.

You guys were saying that I was being inappropriate? What? I regret saying that just find me on LinkedIn. We can chat professionally. Go from sliding in the DMs to LinkedIn. I like that. I was smart. Do people, Bird, on LinkedIn, do people slide into the DMs on LinkedIn?

Oh, yeah. People can be shameless on LinkedIn. Do you have any winners that you want to tell us? Are you talking about, like, creepy messages? Yeah, what's the weirdest message you've ever gotten on LinkedIn? Man, I don't even know. Okay. Thanks.

Let me take on that. That sucks. I'm sure there are some. All right. Tiny, did it ever work out with that one guy? Charlie, I was in a relationship. No, I know. I know.

How many years? Like a few months. But Tiny, you were going to hook him up with one of your friends. Did that ever work? It didn't work out. Thanks for asking. Why didn't it work out? No for my phone.

No for my phone. I think they both just wanted different things in life. And also I think that there was distance and that's, you know, fair enough. Distance. Well, you're the queen of distance right now. Well, yeah. Yeah. But, you know, sometimes, you know, we built the foundation when, you know,

when we were together and now we're 3,000 something. But it's going well. Okay. Can we think of that part from the... I was looking at what I was reading something. I'm sorry. I spaced out. You are definitely Charlie's sister.

I can tell you that right now. Did you just space out on me? She said she was reading something. So she's talking to us while she's scrolling on her freaking phone. So, gals, you imagine. trying to do a podcast with Charlie at the bar when there's four TVs playing in front of him. How long is the uncut version, four hours? Oh, there's a lot cut out.

That's for sure. All right, guys. Anything else you want to bring up here on this really fruitful call that we had? I love you. Who else have you called? Nobody. I started at the bottom. Now we're here.

Oh. I thought it at the bottom room with me. I'm probably March next. Usually, maybe we'll be available. Yeah. We can call another one. Try Emily. Oh, Emily will send you to voice mail.

Emily will send me to voice mail. Which sibling won't send me straight to voicemail? Nora will talk. Nora will talk. Nor is probably bored. Yeah. She's a dentist Yeah, Nora

Remember you left her You left Nora's bag at my Lake cabin that one time And I had to get you Nora's bag back So you could get it back to Nora Oh, I did? Yeah Wow

What was in the bag? I don't know Drug How happened to that cow suit So I think he is looking for that It was the cow That makes more sense How I ended up with that bag

do you still have the cow bag we gave it back to you oh we can't find that we've been looking yeah well this was wonderful guys any final thoughts really you never said i loved you back okay uh bridget any final thoughts no none for me all right real good guys this was super fun yeah thanks for calling yep all right talk soon Hey. Bye, bye. So, yeah, that's my family. That didn't go as well as maybe we thought it would have.

I mean, they were just talking to each other there at the beginning. For a while, yeah, it was like when you, you know, I don't know. But it'd be nice if they cared more about like, you know, my podcast that they'd turn it on a little bit and not be scrolling on their phones. It's true. But that's what you get. You get what you pay for. All right, maybe next round that we do this, we'll call another group. Yeah, we'll go, you got to get them at the right time.

You got too many that, like, it'll take us a full year if we go one at a time. Well, you got to. So let's go, we'll go two at a time. It's good to get the barons after they've had a couple drinks or a coffee in one of the two. Call them in the morning or like 8 o'clock, you know. To 8 a.m. or 8 p.m. Yeah, something like that. All right.

Yeah. Well, is that it, Chuck? Should we do a voicemail? All right. Here was a voicemail. Chuck. Some kid got a hold of their parents' phone just to talk smack about Minnesota having more lakes than Wisconsin.

What was the sign off there? What do you say? Let's play it while we're talking. You know, that actually reminds me when I was a kid, me and my brother would wake up early on Saturday. He listened to this guy, Tom Neubauer. Tom Newbauer, you host at the fishing show. Me and my brother, we go downstairs and we call up Tom Newbauer. and this one time I was talking with my brother

and my brother and I were both on the phone we were talking about these minnows that we got and we wanted to know what kind of minnows they were if they were bass minnows or what and what they might catch and Tom asked us where we caught these minnows and I said oh we caught him down by the river and my brother smacked me

because he knew sometimes my parents my dad would listen to the fishing show and we weren't supposed to be down by that river and the phone goes and I go ah out a lake and then Tom goes a lake I'm not sure if there be those kind of minnows in a way.

Just totally lied to Tom Newbauer, and I've felt guilty about it ever since. So anyways, that brings me back right there. That actually sounds like a great time. Like when my kid gets old enough to be able to do something like that, like, hey, this Saturday, we're going to call into radio shows. Oh, yeah.

Just let him talk to people like that. That would be great. And I do have to say, you know, I got a, a fond place in my heart for the buy-selling trade shows. And there's a great one outside of the lacrosse. That's a great buy-selling trade show. You should calm up and he should have some ready to go. That would be a good idea.

Well, Miles, it's been another fun episode of the Bellied-up podcast, huh? That's right, buddy. Good to see you again. Good to see you, too. And good to see you guys. Make sure you tip your bartender. We'll see the next one.

Bye-bye. Okay, hope you guys have a good one. Goodbye now. Oodaloo. Thank you.
