Hey, folks, welcome to the bellied up podcast. Ho, ho, ho. It is Christmas. Merry Christmas. Well, so when this comes out, what's the actual date? Christmas Eve is 24th. Miles, where's your Christmas sweater? I got my green hat on.

Damn, I'm wearing a blue. I'm so not dressed up bright for Christmas, but I got a green bottle of tippy cow, Miles. That's all that matters. Um, yeah, I love Christmas. I love it. It's just one of the coziest holidays. Yeah. Name a cozier holiday.

I'll wait. No, that would probably be it, you know. Not all Souls Day. No. Not as cozy. No.

For sure. Not the 4th of July. It's a little swampier. Yeah. Thanksgiving's a cozy holiday. Yeah, probably goes Christmas. Thanksgiving. One, two.

What about Valentine's Day? Valentine's Day. I don't know. You can go one or one or the way or the other with that. It could be cozy or it could be hot. It could be hot. Hot. Yeah.

It could be spicy or it could be cozy. Or it could be spicy then cozy. It's kind of like the sour patch kids of all holidays. Yeah. A hundred percent. First it's spicy, then it's cozy. I never thought about it like that. Wait, what's kind of funny is I was thinking the other day

that my wife can be somewhat of a sour patch kid. You really? Yeah. You were just randomly thinking that? Yeah, I don't know why. It's like when she's hungry, she's sour, but then after she's eating, she's sweet. Does anyone else have a sour patch kid wife?

Did you tell her that? Uh, kind of. I did it though when she was sweet, which is smart. You guys are so fun. You were telling me the sound you make every time you put a plug in your phones. Okay, all right. What?

Yeah. I just think it's a little funny thing. It's cute. Yeah. We won't go into it, but you know, I'm... Miles, I was thinking, though, I was thinking as we were talking, so, you know, my mind goes in different directions sometimes as, like, like it... Yeah, I think we call that in the medical field, the split personality.

Split personality. So, so, so when we were talking about Valentine's Day and Christmas, I started thinking. I was thinking, Miles, you were born March. 22nd, right? And then you start thinking about Valentine's Day, but then you start thinking March 22nd, February 22nd. Okay, that's one month. January 22nd. December 22nd, I think you were your mom or dad's Christmas present. Um, no. Yeah. Because that's nine months before. that would have been that they shaboyked in March and had me in December

Charlie no no when was oh yeah dude yeah my bad so you got a little three months after March so April May June you know summer summer summer loving happened so fast

no no no it would have been December November September you got to go six months before December, which is June. Six months before September. So there you go, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January. Takes nine months to make a baby, Miles.

What are you doing? Yeah. So, am I going insane? No, you just subtract three months from... You subtract nine months from when I was born. Oh, see, I was doing it from December. I was doing it from... Guys, you add three months.

You add three months. That's what I was doing. March, April, May, June. I was so, that was so dumb. This is like a crash course on how gaslighting works right here. And luckily, I am fire resistance. All right. Man.

I am fire retardant. Math is so hard for me. It really is. And we just put that on display. wow display here anyway so what does that have to do what are you oh you thought it was a Christmas baby yeah

no it's it's uh no not even close yeah not even close yeah you were quite literally the exact opposite I kind of want to delete this whole intro now and start over hey folks welcome to the Pallied Up podcast Miles what are you doing for Christmas

this year? Um I just hanging out with family I actually got like a few Christmas is. So Ryan who works for me, he's notorious for having 22 Christmases between Friends Christmas, family Christmas, this side of the family's Christmas.

I think someone got divorced so there's a couple more Christmases in there. We kind of made fun of them a little bit for that. Like you got to, you know, draw the line somewhere. Yeah. So, you know, Christmas is great, but that's a lot of Christmas. Yeah. And I'm starting to go down that road a little bit. Well, we added in a

friend's Christmas this year, which is going to be great. And I actually am excited for that. Frism. Frist. Yeah. Getting a little fristy. Frist and at Christmas. Frist than at Christmas.

How many friends are invited to your Christmas? I don't know. I just got a Google calendar invite for my wife. And that's the only reason why I know. Oh, she said you got no detention of those, huh? Yeah. I mean, yeah, I try to. It gets on your calendar.

I don't. I couldn't tell you what day it is, but I know it's coming up. So, okay. Or wait. At this time, it's already happened for sure. so it was awesome that's great how many people were there just you know i don't like i don't like to i don't like to try and count the people out of party i just try to make the party count ah i like that you see what he did there jared he's just miles a little buddha miles living in the

moment yeah yeah i just i'm not worried about all the numbers i'm just worried about uh making sure that i'm having a good time that's good man yeah i'm glad to hear it uh would you bring them you You got to, like, I think it probably showed up. We definitely showed up with like a bottle of wine, some couple of gifts. And mostly just brought a good attitude. Did you have to get gifts? Like I'm treating, treating this like a post game interview. Yeah.

You know, we had a lot of good folks out there. A team really came together and just glad we were able to pull out a successful Christmas party. Did you have? Yes, yes, right here in the front. Did you have to get gifts for every friend at the Christmas? You know, we did it smart this year. and we did like a little Yankee swap white elephant deal. And so everyone just brought a gift and it really kept the bank account in check.

When you gave your gift, did you feel like you spent too little money on your gift after receiving the gift that you got? Yes. Did you feel good about that? No. Okay. Okay. Did you drink too much at the Christmas party? Yes.

How much is too much to drink at a Christmas party? you know I don't like to count the drinks at a party I like to make the drinks count so was there anybody at no more questions please thank you no sir was there anybody at the christmas party that got a little too frisky with somebody else's spouse no thank god has that ever happened today in but bill i got my eyes in you keep your hands to yourself all right buddy that was good um so yeah uh well good i'm i'm happy for you charlie what did you do for your christmas oh thanks smiles for asking. You didn't even give me a shot.

You know, I've had, I did a whole press conference with you because you weren't like, I'm here to, Miles. You know, there's a two-way conversation. What'd you do for Christmas, Charlie? It's not Christmas yet, Miles. I don't know. When this comes out, it's Christmas. It's Christmas Eve, different from Christmas.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a good question. Do you value Christmas Eve or Christmas Day more? I love Christmas Eve, dude. It's just something about it. Something about it. It's like the anticipation of what's to come. You know, magic and miracles can happen Christmas.

And Christmas, like all of the lights and the tree lit up and all that going to mass on Christmas Eve. It's like, it just that feels like Christmas when you wake up and it's like morning. you're all you're already like shit this can be over soon i got to get rid of this tree this is all i got for christmas it sucks i got head to the store yeah christmas day doesn't really live up to the hype ever christmas eve is much better because like christmas day is built for kids waking up see it's santa gifts yeah you know and for the christmas day isn't for the adults it's for the kids but christmas eve is for the adults in my opinion i 100% agree with that and i you know what I like doing, I like going to a place like New York, like, I would love to be in New York for Christmas.

You just see the big old tree, you know, and that always seems like fun. You know why I'm realizing this just now. It's Home Alone, too. Yeah, that's it. Home Alone was the greatest ad. Home Alone is the greatest ad for New York City ever. Really is. Really was. Yeah. Is that an elf? Yeah. I don't know who's the PR guy over there in New York City, but they are killing it. I mean, you know, ripping and roaring. Yeah. Because people go there every, every Christmas, and you don't disappoint. I mean, it is, and they don't shy away from the fact that a lot of New Yorkers are assholes. You know, they lean into that and you expect that.

You kind of like want to experience it yourself. Yeah, you do. No, but I went up to the cabin and I cut down a tree, Miles. Did you? Yeah. Really? Yeah. So you want to just kill Mother Nature for your sake?

Um, well, yeah, just, just a small, I replanted a tree. I replanted a bunch of trees. There you go. Actually in the, uh, in the summer. Yeah, cut down a tree, plant five more. That's your motto. Yeah, yeah. You cut down one because also these, these trees are, uh, they're not super healthy.

Uh, they're a little diseased. So I basically, I put it out of its misery. Yeah. I was doing a two for one on the. And you just have to like, you know, you just have to position the tree. right in the corner of the room, so all the dead branches are in the back? Yeah. I would say no one noticed a difference.

Everyone's noticed a difference. Yeah. It's, um, yeah, it's unfortunate. But that's okay. Hey, got rid of a disease tree. And hopefully I didn't bring that disease into my log cabin, you know, hopefully it wasn't some beetle that's now eating through my wood. Yeah, that would be tough. I don't think it is though because they don't like the stains.

You're having your family to the cabin for Christmas? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean. And what is your family think of your cabin? Oh, they love it. They love it. Okay, they love going there.

What do they think of the accommodations that you've set up for them? I actually set up some pretty good accommodations, believe it or not. Like, now the pillows were a little crunchy for a while, you know. How does this pillow get crunchy? Well, you know, it gets sweat on a lot and it's just a little, you know, there were a couple crunchy pillows and also I think someone tried to throw the entire pillow in the washing machine so then some of the whatever's in the pillow is sticking together you know so I had to get some new pillows because there were some complaints about the pillows and I was like I'm sure something

I'm sorry that your free stay at my cabin was like clouded by a little frumpy of a pillow but anyways so I got new pillows I got new but so you got enough space for like 400 people no not 400 You're a family now with spouses and kids and stuff. They're big. Yeah, usually a few will stay at a time. You know, it's not that big of a point. You do shifts. Chips, yeah, yeah.

The first flight of family is coming in this day. Yes. And then it's all right, you guys, you're knocking on the door at 10 a.m. on their bedroom being like, hey, sorry, someone else is going to be taking your room. We need you to check out. There is a system in place. The Barron's in. Barron's in, baby.

bear bear is anyway i was going to try to combine those words but don't work but yeah it's yeah the bear ins bear in there it is there it is we found it bear in bear ins yeah guys right now prize picks will give you $50 in lineups when you play your first five the dollar lineup winner lose you'll get 50 bucks in lineups use promo code bellied up when you sign up today Charlie you already know that you can make player picks on prize picks but now you can make team picks and culture picks all one prize picks out. What's a culture pick? Well, let me tell you here. It's super simple. With team picks, you can pick

who you think will win the game, who will win the fight, whether a team will win by more or less than a certain number of points, total points scored, or even future winners. And like you said, the culture picks, we're going beyond sports,

all right? Yeah. Music. Everything from music to movie winners to TV show winners, even things like video game release dates are the price of Bitcoin. You got to be kidding me. Yeah, they got it all on price fix now. So you can back your takes with real money and you can make your picks before or even during live events. Because I know, Charlie, sometimes you're late to the party. I'm late to the party. Late to the game. You can still place prize picks even if the game's going on. Well, that's great for me. Player picks, team picks, culture picks, all one app.

At miles. Look at this. Just took a player pick. I'll send it to Ann. All right. What would a hotel chain named Bear Inns? What would it feel like? You know, I walk into the lobby. What it was? There would be no clocks anywhere.

Okay. Time does not exist. Okay. So you want this to be a time traveling experience. I just, if it's my inn, time will not matter. Just like that in my life. I was late today. So I walk in in the first.

thing you're just saying you're going to do is eliminate the clocks. Yeah, just because time's an illusion miles, so we might as well kick the illusions here. Okay. All right, what's the check-in process look like? Check-in process? There is no check-in process. You go to your door and... How do you know which door is yours? You just pick a door and hopefully it's not locked. Okay. You know? So you just start rattling door knobs and find which one's open? You can go ask someone where your room is but they might be able to help you or they might be doing something else and they'll help you in a sack you know yeah there's uh there's a garage there with a lot of good wood yeah a lot of good wood because instead of having a swimming pool you're just

going to have a garage that people can build stuff yeah yeah it's smart because when i took down that deck and i cut up all the wood i got so much good wood i get in there and get like aroused my house and uh i've made some stuff with the wood already anyway so there's Goodwood, there's a land with a lot of paths, man. So you just go find yourself every day, you know? And literally somewhere in the woods is a mirror and you found yourself. And we hide the mirrors in the woods. I thought he was going to go like, yeah, it'll be flannel sheets, you know.

We're going to have a cheese plate when you check in instead of warm cookies. No, I'm not going to do that. It's more of it's more of an adventure, Miles. It's basically a self-server. service hotel is what it sounds like. Minimal effort from Charlie. No, there will be a lot of effort, but be on the things like, I'll, I'll be out there cutting the paths on the trails.

So we're going to get some really good trails out there. Is it B-Y-O-P, bring your own pillow? Pants. You should bring your own pillow. Well, you know, hey, I don't judge here, though, at this facility. It's a pantsless resort. No, if you're- Top's got to stay on.

we have a bottomless beach it's Donald Ducks What movie is that the Zohan where he does the bottom like the pantsless party instead of the topless party Is it? Oh it's Harold and Kumar the same. I remember is this guy just had a huge bush walking around That's I never seen that

I wish I had now No I took the joke But yeah anyways we do have a Donald Duck Beach and yeah you know aside for that it's pretty free and flowing miles pretty free and flowing um there's plenty of beer there's plenty of brandy that's it that's it you got two options old-fashioned for a water bottle of water good luck no there'll be uh you you can go get water from the river there'll be nice flowing river so i have to boil their water you don't have to boil you can put it through water filter no it's not that clean no it's not that

clean you're going to have to filter it um okay in your dream world you're not even allowing the river to be so clean you can drink right from it i'm just trying to be practical miles i'm just trying to be practical in your dream world well my dream world sure yeah the river tastes of honey but uh you know i'm just trying to make it seem somewhat uh you know is there a continental breakfast oh there's absolutely a continental breakfast thank you for asking in fact my dad's there uh making eggs and he asked you how you want them and however you want him he's given to you fried sunny side up yeah and uh effort yeah yeah yeah and uh yeah you didn't even want to flip it twice yeah you know so once even he just lets it fry it's actually kind of smart because then you don't run into breaking the yoke

you know you don't even have to worry about that well there's still it's still an art form getting it uh getting it there but it's fine if you're runny because you got toast there to stop it up okay so you're just having sunny side up eggs and toast yeah coffee you got to have coffee because that way you can dunk your egg toast in it and um yeah and then uh you your day is just you can hike you can fish you can hunt or you can go in the world hunt on your land yeah everyone can hunt on the land but but only bow and arrow so it don't go too far okay yeah safety first a bunch of people in camo in a small amount of woods because like capacity might be like 50. So you have 50 50 people with with brandy and beers only. Yeah. And with bow and arrows in camo in the woods,

what could go wrong? I don't know. But we'll find out. You go walk the trails. You got to walk the trails. You got to go find yourself. It's like at a normal resort, there's like adult swim where all the kids got to get out of there. There's like hunting hours where you can't go walking through the But also, you know, think about it. If you're hung bow and arrow, you got, you should know your range. You shouldn't you pass your range. You know, although, of course, there can be a wild ricochet of an arrow or some. You hit a rock. You didn't see. And then before you know it, that'd be a wild thing, though. There's a lot of trees here, a lot of backstops. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And it's your dream world. How many acres is this thing sitting on? In my dream world, no one gets hit by an errant arrow. Okay. How many acres is this thing sit? hundreds of thousands of acres hundreds of thousands of acres yes so basically just the state of north dakota state of north dakota yeah you guys got more of acres than that how are you going to pay the property tax on i'm not paying it i'm not paying it's your dream world it's guarded we have we have guards if anyone wants to take this property you have to pry it from our cold dead hands

and we've got an entire wall surrounding it with little bow and arrow guys up there like Okay, so now, yeah, so this is Castle Barrens. Castle Barrens. Castle Barrens. So you've built a wall around hundreds of thousands of acres, and the only property that sits on this acreage is your bear ins. It's not really a big wall. It's just a little rock wall that people, like, build for fun.

Like, it's, um, it's, it's sort of an, a meditation, the rock wall building. This is part of the activities. You're getting free labor out of the people. I mean, you got to stick with me here, Miles. I'm whining and dine in it. Yeah, it's going to be fun. So would you come? Yeah, I mean, for sure.

Yeah. At least once. Yeah, you got it. You got to check it out. That'd be cool. That'd be great. And what's the capacity at this hotel? Capacity?

Yeah. Just enough for my family. That's it. So 400? 450, actually. Actually, 450 is. actually, you know, still way too little for the amount of acreage you have. Everyone can be hunting. Now you say it. Yeah. And, you know, this isn't exactly the intro I was thinking of for

a Christmas episode, Miles, but I like where we took it. But when you get an opportunity to build bare ends, you have to go with it. You got to roll. You just got to lick, lack, and roll. So if anyone out there has a property for sale that's got hundreds of thousands of acres and a lot of rocks and no property tax with lots of rocks lots of trees perfect hunting um a couple of mirrors head charlie up yeah hit me up you guys it'd be cool to make this dream of reality and miles thank you for asking and in your fantasy is just going to get this right one of part of your fantasy is that you have woods that people are going to walk through and you have mirrors placed in the woods yeah so you can find yourself okay all right yeah so uh thank you for asking

asking miles this was fun and uh the next mirror you're looking in i hope you smile back at yourself huh yeah like that okay kind of like this we have two you know we have bare ends and then what we have charlie world remember we did that one yeah we did charlie world will that be in one corner of the property charlie world is kind of like a separate thing all together okay so you have another property yeah and how many acres does that sit on that one's 300 000 acres so you gotta like hike to each ride then um yeah yeah yeah yeah there's there's a tram you're just taking all the stuff that people hate about a theme park and you are going to explode that to a grand level it's not a bad idea you know people hate walking around and doing that they just want to ride the

ride so you're saying spread out the rides that to walk even more well i did say that there would be a tram but now that you explain it that way i kind of like that because less people there more chill time for me. Yeah. You know? Not a bad idea. So now you have about half a million acres of land. Yeah.

Somehow you're just going to get tax exempt and... No, I'm not tax exempt. It's just I got archers on the walls, Miles. No, I know, but you have property tax. That's the thing I'm hung up on on this. What do they get? All the rest of it seems plausible. Come take it from me, Miles.

come take it from me you want to mess with my archers you better bring your best guys he's got archers in his fantasy world like the military shows up with tanks and shit and he's like charlie's like yeah but i got bow and arrows yeah i do you you know what can slip through a tank a little a little arrow can okay so you're you have archers the ability to to pierce metal no they there's there's a weakness somewhere there so it's like the death star. Yes, exactly. Precisely.

Yep. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, ho, ho, ho, Miles, Merry Christmas to you.

Hey, Miles, you know what I was thinking? I was thinking, what was the 12 days of Christmas was in the Midwest? Oh.

Well, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me. I don't know the words to this. Well, I got them right here. All right, well, sing us out. Then we'll take some collars. This is Charlie Barron's rendition of the 12 days of Christmas.

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me. What happened on the first day of Christmas? On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave it to me. A pheasant in a maple tree. You again? I do. Keep going. On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.

It's a beat going to drop soon. It's just my mind. mind going. Your brain is like rumble strips on the highway. I sound like a snake on opium. We're being goofy today here, Miles. We're being silly.

All right. Well, that's it. That's it. Pheasant in a maple tree. That's all you get. The first day of Christmas are true. A pheasant in a maple tree. And a partridge in a pear tree.

Oh, and a pheasant in a maple tree. Maple two silhoues. The pheasants even perch in trees? I've seen pheasant perch on a fence and on a power line. One time there was this pheasant on the power line. My brother, he was young. He was like, I'm going to shoot it. He just blasted it.

He's not. My dad's a school game. First of all, who shoots a sitting pheasant? Second moment. He was in the air, though. Who shoots a power at a power line? Never seen anything like that. I've not.

Did you get him? No, dude, he missed. He missed. I don't even think the pheasant moved, to be honest with you. it's like that's like whiffing and T-ball I'm not that I think about it I don't know I can't remember

my dad looks so my dad was just looking like piss but the point where you're pissing you don't say nothing did you have to like do it in like a family meeting being like all right in light of current events we only shoot at pheasants that are flying

we don't shoot at power lines. I don't remember. I don't remember. Shit, it could have been me. I don't remember. Yeah, I was just thinking there's no way that was your brother. That was definitely you.

I don't know. It could have been. It could have been. I was young. You know way too many details about this for it to not be you. I was young. He's like, yeah, it was standing there, broadside.

Broadside. If you, if you're shooting out of pheasant, that's broadside. that's not good. Yeah. So he was walking on his power line. Gave a little squawk to get him to stop, Broadside.

It was like, you know, eight-pointer. I felt pretty good about it. Well, I'll do it on the next episode. The syndrome's gone way too long. All right. Should we take some callers? Miles? All right. Is this a jiffy loop, Joe?

Oh, yeah. It used to be jiffy loop Joe, but now it's just Joe. Oh, no. Joe. Joe, Joe. Oh, no. Oh, no, Joe. Oh, yeah. Oh, well. Well, uh, uh, uh, Joe, uh, artist formerly known as jiffy loo Joe. Um, great to have you back on the podcast for a bellied update. Um, yeah. you start by reminding the folks about her last call and then give us an update what happened why why no jiffy loob to the name joe well uh we were a mechanic shop um they are still i should say

but uh yeah seen one around you know anyways they work on cars and stuff like that and uh it was the end of my basically that's what i was doing it's just fixing cars break jobs etc and i was tired one day and went home without completing a break job fully and I got in the vehicle that next morning and went to pull it out of the shop and had no brakes and crashed her right into the lift. Oh, no. Okay. Hold on. Yeah. Yeah. So you didn't finish the break job. You went home. You show up the next day. You thought that you did finish the break job. You clearly didn't smash it. 100% was anyone hurt

chippy loop joe no no except except the customer well our our wallet we had to cover the damages it was like almost 8 grand in damages yikes so they said that one pretty hard

yeah um you know honestly what that doesn't sound that bad because I hit a pole with my truck and it was like 15 grand and damages so honestly you're doing it you're doing half you're doing half better than I was. Yeah.

Yeah, it was just the trunk that was damaged. It was a Rob Ford. And, yeah, I had the little open up like a, like, I don't know, like a flap and the whole whole garage, like basically garage style looking door thing. It smashed in. So they just had to replace the trunk door. So what does a conversation with your boss look like after that? There was a lot.

I'm sorry. There was a lot of, uh, I'm probably fired through this one, aren't I and kind of stuff like that and yeah once we got hit with the bill they had to let me go oh really oh yeah

oh yeah and uh what did you do when the customer showed up uh well thankfully me being the mechanic and not not the owner I surprisingly didn't have to talk to them

Yeah, I mean, I can't do that. That's, yeah. Leans to try, bust. Lean into your strengths, you know. Joe, when you're kicking yourself in the face, are you, uh,

Are you putting any cushion on your toes to protect your don't? No, I mean, I wear hay dudes. So, I mean, those are kind of soft. Okay. Yeah, you should start wearing crocks, I think. That might make this. We're going to send you some crocs. What size are you?

Oh, man, seven and a half men's. Seven and a half men's? That's a big foot there, Joe. I got Hobbit feet, dude. Come on. That's what's up. We'll get you some wide, huh? Yeah, oh, now you're talking my language.

Um, this is a great example of your unemployed friend on a Tuesday afternoon is your entire page. So unemployment's been going good for you then. Uh, no, no, door dashing. Nice. All right. Yeah. It pays the bills. So, you know, just keep doing it. Um, Joe, you're a man with skills. I like it. It's just simple and sweet, Charlie. I know. kicking myself in the head every day until I get one million followers is the bio. it's just it's it's it and you've you came up with a script you came up with a script that writes a thousand scripts you just say the same thing every single day yeah it's you can't really mess it up okay what about uh is there any head trauma from this joe uh no i i gauge it pretty well actually i can i can either go full board or uh your profile

I thought just get a kick. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's good. I mean, no notes, honestly. No notes at all. Honestly, I feel like an absolute dumbass. You know, me and Charlie, we sit down.

We come up with concepts for videos. We write scripts. You know, we get props for the videos. That's what people with no skills do, Miles. Yeah. If we could kick ourselves in the head, do you think we'd do that? No, I know.

I'm jealous. I'm kicking myself in the ass right now because I didn't think of this. I'm going to start working on my flexibility, Joe. I'm coming for you, dude. Oh, there you go. The day you can, I will be appalled. Yeah, my only critique is just the videos where it's brighter, like, it's easier to see what's going on, clearly do more views.

What's your highest view? Get a ring light. Okay. Okay, I will. I'll set her up on the old tripod or whatever. Dude, you got some here. Yeah. More stuff you can do like day eight.

Day eight's a great day. Yeah, like leading up to it. I love the, I love the. What kind of a scooter is that? It's a kid's scooter as well. Yeah, it's a razor. Kids, kids like Vespa razor. Let's look at the first one

This is day two of kicking myself in the head every day Until I get a million followers What happened day one Yeah So day one I'll be honest with you Day one

I messed up on the script I said I'm going to kick myself in the head For each follower I get I would have been there forever dude Oh my God So you

you did a bait and switch here joe yeah i try to pull a fast one on day two i was like yeah you know let's let's see okay charlie this one's got one point one million yeah that's the high six of kicking myself in the head each day until i get a million followers this is day six it was just quick just quick and dirty and it's that smack i think they like the they like the contact yeah you should start adding sound effects in you know like an old cartoon Have you hurt yourself at all in the process of doing these kicks? You've done what? No, no, I, I didn't hurt myself at all in the kicks.

I got a car accident, actually, a couple of weeks ago, and so I'm well dinged up. Yeah, you hit, you hit the thing at Jiffy loop. Yeah, there was that, but no, there's another action afterwards. Yeah, are you sure you should be driving DoorDash? Yeah, no, I'm good now. yeah well the first car miles then that breaks not really his fault i mean it was his fault but yeah yeah oh yeah uh you know i kind of want to see i bet you dude you got this nice goal of fouling you got here i bet you if she started um another page uh about you just showing people how to fix cars

that would do pretty good don't do that you don't think that would be good no dude he's got it he's got great personality man no i understand but he's got it okay He's going to spend way more time on that other page. And he could just be doing this. Just be kicking himself in the head. Yeah. All right. The more time he spends not kicking himself in the face,

the farther away, he gets away from his goal. All right. Okay. So that's it. Yeah, he's got it. I mean. Okay. Well, I mean, what do I know?

Yeah. What do I know? It's like that guy catches those marshmallows on his mouth. That's his, you know. Everyone's got their thing, you know. They're knit. Yeah. Yeah. Do you have any other hen talents? Um, ooh. I could put them down. I can drink quite a bit. I don't know if that's a talent.

But, uh, most people think I get fucked up quicker. I keep up with the pack, I guess, you know? Okay. There you go. Not really a talent there. Uh, God, I don't know. I DJ on the side. Oh, okay. I love it. So that's the dwarf DJ. The dwarf DJ? Dude, okay. That's your second page, but you parlay it with the leg kick to the face on every beat drops.

That's when the beat drops, you get up on the table. And when the beat drops, you leg kick yourself in the face. Yes. It's like the Irish jig, except I'm making contact. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to need contact, you know. Oh, obviously.

Do you have a page for your DJ? No, no. Oh, it's also a new making in the beginning kind of thing. My first gigs, hopefully tonight or on Friday night at a local little dive bar. Oh, what's the name of the local dive? It's called Longs. Longs. Longs sports pub, I guess you can say.

Long sports bar. You know how to pick a first gig, man. Yeah, you know, I called every bar around and they were kind of hesitant at first. and then I got a call back. So hopefully it goes well. Okay. You just, you just,

you got to lead into the leg kick. Yeah. I need to. Yeah. Every beat drop. I'll just like slowly play like slower songs. I want to have a fat migraine. You,

well, it's got to be your, your, did you do your leg kick for today? Oh, no, no, not today.

Yeah. I need to, need to fire up your old hammy okay well let's let's let's craft one for him here well i think he's got to do it at the dj set tonight so what do you have your own songs acting loaded or should we help you pick a song so that kind of i mean i just got play with like 98 hours on it so if they don't like it they can i don't know so this is like you got spotify thing cute up and yeah i'm just i'm just getting started all right he's got a playlist man um what's a good song with kick in it because that would be isn't there a beastie boy song that starts out with kick it kick it oh yeah yeah yeah let

there you go and on kick it you kick yourself in the face that might be your next million view video so what you need to do is you need to uh this is what you need to do you need to set a goal for people the reason for them to fall obviously the million followers thing but you you should do like at a hundred thousand followers you'll attempt the double leg kick oh okay okay i just that's gonna work you can't do a double legs you get up on like a chair and then you jump off and try and try and double leg kick yourself in the face have you ever double leg kick uh successfully joe but on a trampoline i was attempting to do a backflip and that's that's how you learned you could kick yourself in the face.

Just get on a trampoline and do the double leg kick. There you go. Yeah. I know, I ain't got a trampoline, though. So, uh, yeah, I mean, you go find a trampoline. Yeah, just sky.

Just, yeah, you'll find one. You just need a chair. Just jump off a chair. Yeah. There you go. No. Miles, it's going to hurt. Yeah.

That's a good idea, though. That'll get you to 100K. I want, I want to see the double. you the double leg kick. Yeah. Have you heard of hamstring doing this? That's my concern. So if I don't like kind of give her a couple warmups, yeah, I can,

there's a little tingle on the back of the knee. Yeah, people think this leg kick game's a piece of cake, but there's a whole thing that goes into it. What they don't realize is that Joe's an athlete, man. He's got to be treated as such. I'm pushing like a 12-minute mile, so I'm no athlete. Not on that scooter, though. I mean, yeah, I'd probably do it 12 minute a mile.

I mean, I'm going to take half as many steps as you are, but it'll be, you know. I'll breeze for you. Joe, you got any other employment strategies at this point? Yeah, yeah. I want to probably go work for a company. I used to work for a while back. They're like an underground locating gig. They locate utilities and stuff like that.

I know you do you walk around with the spray paint or what? Yeah, the paint and the wand and, you know, big shiny vest. That's good. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it knows will haunts you in your dreams if you're not careful. I believe it. Well, this was great. This is not, when I woke up this morning, I did not think that this is how.

No, I did not think that this was going to happen. This phone call feels like a dream. Honestly, it really doesn't. that's how wild happy to hear that guys I appreciate that yeah it's great to talk I'm excited for you to hit a million followers

like it's going to happen but like I said you got to do goals you know yeah you're right I got to set like a subscriber like oh I get this many you know yeah you're 100% right do the double kick 100K yeah so then your script is

doing a kicking myself in the face every day until I get a million followers and out of 100,000 followers I'll do the double leg kick and then you just do it That's it. Just add that little piece of you. There you go. Gosh,

I'll have to have to practice that in the mirror a couple times. Yeah. Yeah. Well, listen, good luck at your gig tonight. What's the name of that Beastie Boys song? Yeah, just kick it.

Kick it. I'll just Google kick it. Yeah. I'm sure they'll do the rice. Cool. Get a kick drum in there. Kick it. Sorry.

Head banging. Just going in. We like. like it man. Hey, don't, uh, you just make sure you don't kick yourself too hard. All right. We want you to get to that million. Yes, sir. Thanks, Charlie. I appreciate that. Yeah, you betcha. You bet you. We don't want you getting, um, you know, CP. T.C. C.C. C. D. What do the football players get? C. T.E. C.E. Yeah. Yeah. We don't want you getting C3. maybe I've been kicked in the head a few times honestly starting to sound like it yeah no I'm kidding

no it's true though yeah I mean you should have heard our intro here uh well Joe thanks for coming in man and um uh yeah just make sure you'll uh put the brakes on the next time and uh take the brakes off for other cars yeah oh 100 percent they uh yeah no I appreciate it thanks for having me on fellas all right we'll see you soon Why are you shaking your head at me? No, I'm not shaking your head again. I'm like, let's go. Oh, you're excited.

That was an excited head shake. You'd think by this many episodes, I know your head shakes. When God invented free will, he invented it for a page like that. He did. The human mind, Miles, and the human body put together can do some incredible things. And the daily kick is one of them. So folks, make sure you get on the old TikTok. The daily underscore kick.

Give them a fall. It's getting to a million. I wonder who took the daily kick. I don't know. It sounds like a magazine, doesn't it? Like for sneaker heads. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And that's what he needs to do is like he needs to do. There's so many options, right? Then it's like, all right, I'm going to kick myself in the head today wearing Air Jordans. You know what I mean? Yes. Yeah. I like that.

Yeah. And then, like, 200,000, it's like a steel-toed boot. Yeah. Yeah. That might be the last. That should be the million. Yeah. Just in case it doesn't go so good.

Knocks him out. The video's like five minutes long until he comes to. Just lame. Should take another call. Let's do it. Well, so let me tell you this. Eggnog isn't for everyone, but with a secret ingredient, it really could be. Oh, yeah.

I like a little special recipe. Oh, yeah. And listen, only the lucky listeners of this podcast are privy to unlocking the world-class eggnog. That will have even the most relentless eggnog haters going, oh, yeah. Oh, that's not too bad. No. Could I get a refurb? Phil or no. Holy smokes, that's pretty good. So here it is, Miles. Are you ready?

Yep. Take two ounces of any store-bought eggnog. Add four ounces of vanilla soft-serve, Tippie cow, that T-C baby, and that's it. Stir it together over ice and you really want to impress, sprinkle on a little nutmeg or simon. And you'll have everyone asking, how is this so good? Don't you worry, though. We won't take legal action if you tell. No, no. Over here at Tippie Cow, no. If you want to, if you want to, I didn't know Tippie Cow was chill like that. Yeah, they're super chill, man. Are you came me? Tippy cow tastes great over ice. It's super chill. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. So go on. Have a cow, you guys. This, this time of year, there's nothing better. Tipping on back with a chippy cow. No. No. Drink responsibly. Dibbe Cowell Rum Cream,

How'd you know, dude? Just had a good guess. Cool. I can read the few. I can read. He's got a caller ID. Oh, he's got the CID. Damn.

Why are you going to take away my thunder like that? Well, what's going on today? Where are you at? What's you hauling, Mr. Nicolay? I've been on the road for a bit. I'm back in Hudson, Wisconsin. I was in Green Bay for a couple days, and then I had to haul across the state,

and I'm back in Hudson today. Sounds like he's hauling ass, Miles. This is why he's hauling. What do you think about the Packers this season? You know, you think that Charlie thinks they're going to be playing in February. Yeah. They're going to be playing in February?

Well, I was talking to Matthew Golden yesterday. Well, what a freaking flex, dude. Not to brag. Jeez. Yeah. Oh, my. Not to brag. Not the name drop.

You were talking to him? Yeah. Yep. I was talking to him in Green Bay. Did he get hurt? He is a little banged up right now, unfortunately. And I feel bad, so I shouldn't even tell Packers Nation's, but I did. He and I were shaking hands, and I realized maybe I should have been a little bit less aggressive

on the handshake because he was kind of, you know, healing up. he was a little banged up but he uh he was in good spirits and he's pretty excited for the rest of the season and you know he has hopes of them playing in february as well well that's good um that how'd you uh meet him he wasn't calling you because of his injury was he no he wasn't no um yeah i've been doing some stuff with him never even thought about that i know yeah if you are an NFL player out there and you are injured on the job give Russell Nicolay a call. Nicolay.

I will tell you this, though. I gave him his first flannel. We gave him a flannel yesterday that he was wearing, and I told him, because he's from Houston, you know, I was like, it's going to get cold here, man. Like, this is just the start of it. So you're going to want some flannels and big jackets, and so you appreciated that. That's pretty cool. You got a new podcast.

Tell us about that. Charlie and I are both on it. How's that going? Yeah, I really appreciate you, gentlemen. being on it. It's good. It's the Midwest Legends podcast. We've had a lot of good guests, you guys especially. The feedback's been pretty good. I think people are interested to hear what other folks in the Midwest have to say and tell some funny stories, and you guys both had some good ones. I know Charlie's had some really good stories and Miles, your story about what, I forget

the name of the bar where you break the bottle. That was a big hit. The ice bar in Yankton, South Dakota. Oh, nice. You got to get there, Charlie. It's a great place. I do have to get there. Who has better numbers? The way you just set that up, I think Miles has better numbers. Well, Charlie, your numbers are usually pretty high and pretty strong to begin with. I just know that there was a lot of engagement on that story.

A lot of people really like the idea of just breaking bottles. Apparently, after you drink them, that just seems really appealing to beer drinking. Yeah, no, that is true. Miles is a good storyteller. Sometimes he's a better storyteller. And that's okay. I'm not jealous at all, Russell. I'm just happy to have them. You know, if you can't be better than them, you got to start a podcast with them. And that's why we're here right now. Well, that's cool, man. We're excited. Where can people find the podcast?

And so it's all, you know, basically it's on social media. It's on YouTube. And then it's anywhere else you find the podcast like Spotify. It's just Midwest Legends. And so check it out. Google Midwest Legends podcast and you'll find it right away. And then you get to see. see your two shining faces on, if you're watching it on YouTube or social media. Nice, dude.

And I think people really enjoyed the episode. Yeah, so guys, you got to check out the Midwest Legends podcast. Russell, thanks for talking to us today.

This is great. Jack. How are you guys doing? You got two boys bellied up to the bar here, Jack. I don't like it when you call us boys like that. Two boys. I got to be honest with you guys. My name's Henry.

I was using my friend who was in the car's name. Oh, okay, Henry. That's fine. I didn't think my call was going to make it in. Okay. That's cool. Has that been eating at you? Yeah, it has.

Okay. Well, hey, how's the feel, Henry? Hank. Good, good. Do you like Hank or no, Hank? No, not really. Okay. My grandpa calls me hen dog, though.

Hend dog. I'm not going to call you Hendog. I might. I'm might. No, I'm not. Why? Who's Henry? Well, you wanted to call him Hank.

Why don't you want to call him Hendog? Just doesn't sit right with me. Okay. I get it. I get it. That's fine. No worry, Mom. And what he said that he wanted me to call him Hendog.

pretty bad. That's the only other nickname I got. No one calls you Hank? Nope. Like because... In middle school once, but didn't stick. Didn't stick. Did you get pissed

off about it? You start a fight? There was just two Henrys and they called me Hank for the year and didn't stick. I don't know. The way you said it was like, someone called me Hank once. That was the last time. It was the last time. All right, Hank. Well, what's on your mind?

today? Well, so I got, I'm up here in, uh, Ely, Minnesota, right? And a 10,000 lakes. Yeah, you got to brag about it. Yeah. I got a brag about it. No, it's part of the story. He'll take, he'll take the bait. He's going to, Charlie said take the bait. We don't need that today. He, he, he. Oh, yeah. So I got my, my, my fishing buddy. And, you know, we've been going fishing for a couple years now. I mean, you know, maybe four or five times a week, you know, whatever, how I'm ever much we can get out. Wow. You guys must not be married.

Unemployed, dude. No, I'm, you know, we get on the evening. Good for you. I was kidding. Don't, don't take offense to that. No, so, I'm impressed, dude. That's good. If you can get out fishing four or five times a week.

I don't know how it's calling to go. If you're getting offended by that. So the problem is now he's got a girlfriend, now fiancee. And now we're never getting out, maybe once a week. And, you know, it's not really a problem now because the ice is icing over. But, you know, the past two, three months, it's been, you know, I got to ask her if we can go fishing. And then she's cool. I like her.

She comes with. But then, you know, she doesn't want to go to the lake we like to go at because it's the same shoreline. You know, we're not here to look at the shoreline. We're here to catch fish, you know. Yeah. And then she's, you know, we start catching fish. it's maybe 7 o'clock. You know, it's going to get darken a little bit.

Then she's got to pee. And then we got to go in and we got to leave early. And it's just, what do we do here, boys? You bring her a bucket, though. Well, no, you're not the problem. You're not the problem. You bring her a five-gallon bucket. We tried to get her to pee off the boat, pee in the woods.

No, she wants to go home. Oh, wow. She's a city girl. Did you bring her a bucket? No, we should have. They have five-gallon buckets. And they have toilet seats that snap on. snap on toilet seats five gallon buckets you bring her that you got to meet her halfway man you're

right you're right yeah that's what that's why i would say so what what what's uh you you like her otherwise outside of this yeah yeah she's a she's a good person she's cool yeah i mean it's just the fishing problem or not even fishing just hanging out you know we used to hang out quite a bit and now it's you know i got to see what she wants to do or she wants to see me because i've been working all day which is valid but when i haven't seen you and five four or five days is it you've been with her that whole time is it really valid are you are you involved in a breakup right now head dog i'm going to be honest with you it feels that way i don't want to use the c word but you sound a little clingy oh that one

oh come on guys um okay so how old are you guys we're 23 oh that won't it's not going to last Just tell him to cut to the chance. Yeah, this is a weighted out situation for you. Yeah. Well, see, the thing is, get this, they started dating in maybe May. They already are engaged. Dude, no. Yeah. Is he in the military?

No. He just does construction. Okay. Well, that's a huge concern for you. Talk about it getting worse for you. That's not good. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think.

what you're finding out is just kind of how the real world works, you know? Yeah. And I would say, you know, if they're engaged, it's just you're never going to get it back. No, no, that's okay. Because it's going to get even worse if he has a kid. Oh, man. Yeah, I don't, yeah. Because, and then it's like, you're going to find out once he has a kid and the kid gets a little older,

you're going to find out he's going fishing with just his kid and he didn't even call you. That's where you're having for. Yeah, yeah. Have you tried? using the dating apps to find another fishing buddy no but I should you should go on Grindr and say just the rod

well no see I actually I've been I've been fishing my other buddy no no real so that's been good no real I say you'll bring the real okay yeah just yeah so yeah no it's been all right I just I was just really hoping to get some late season pike and you never ended up doing that damn you get those late season pike those are the best too

I know to get nice and fat yeah what can you do I mean I don't know I just called you guys I was hoping you had some advice

yeah I got some advice you guys start you guys start sending them some unsolicited fish picks yeah start getting them to feel jealous well you know I actually did do that because I got I was out my buddy leech soaking Logan

and we were we were slamming the pike a little bit you unleach soaking Logan yeah he got a nice 40-inch-year, but I only got a 30-incher. But I was, best believe me, I was sending pictures to my buddy and saying, this is what you missed out, putting the boat away early. I don't think you can say it like that.

I don't think you can say it's what you missed out on. It's just like you got to kind of ham it up with your buddy a little bit. Like, say, look at the fish we caught. Yeah, well, that's kind of what I was doing. We're having such a great time. Yeah. I was like, look, it's beautiful out, man. you put the boat away a month ago

because you didn't want it to snow on you now look it's it's 45 degrees out sunny yeah I mean it's what's kind of interesting like if I'm getting out fishing with my buddy once a week I'm like that's a lot yeah

that's what his girlfriend's saying too I know but what I'm saying is maybe like you guys are fishing five nights a week together that's a lot there's not that much That's awesome, but you also got to look at it that perspective, too.

You're right. Once a week's still a lot. I think I know what's really going on. Did you say your buddy put his boat away? Yeah. Does that mean you don't have a boat? Yeah. So.

There it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I think his girlfriend sniffed that one out right away. He probably got into his ear. said, I think he's just using you for your boat. Yeah. Wow, dude. No, no. Wow. Maybe.

No, I'm just kidding. That does suck for you. Because we live just a couple blocks away from each other, so that's why we'd go fishing so much. Would he let you take out? We're both single. I ain't got much to do. Would he let you take the boat out by yourself? No, even though I get more, more motor hour than him every week.

or motor hours, boat and hours. Yeah. Because I work with boats all summer, but he's a little finicky with his. He likes to drive his boat. He doesn't. Yeah, trust you. Even though I do everything, I take it off the trailer. I do everything for him so you can sit in the car.

All he has to do is back it up. But no, no, he's like, oh, let me back the trailer up into the water. And I've done this six times this week, dude. I think I got it. Do you even like this guy? I do, I do. He's a good guy. I've known him like probably eight years now.

he's just sitting in the driver's seat all right peasant unhook the straps well you know i'm gonna whistle it back i want you to get in there and i want you to dock it and then uh i want you to make sure i have a sandwich and a beer ready to go when i step on pretty pretty much i mean i'm not touching a fish you're taking them off all my hooks and you're cleaning them when we get back too all right hey i'm all i'm doing is i'm being a good friend you know it's his boat he's so i got uh you know I got to help him out. Yeah, no, I get it. This is sad.

This is sad. End of an era. End of an era. And that's maybe a good way to look at it, you know? It was good. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happens. It happened there. Yeah.

That's a good way to look at it. Maybe you know what? Maybe this will force me to get some new fishing buddies and we'll. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get out there. Build new connections. Here's a good question.

question where do you go find new fishing buddies where's the best place to go the lake yes exactly you start casting from shore and you you start striking up conversations with nearby boats you know he's just yelling from shore yeah oh we catch it out there that's not terrible It's not a terrible idea. My name's Hendog. What's your name? My name is Hendog. What?

Hand dog. I brought some extra minnows. Yeah, there you go. Start shining your shiners at them. It's nice. I'm really good at doing everything but back to boat in. Got a lot of experience. You need help getting that thing off the trailer?

Yeah, just stay in there. Just start. Yeah, just stand just stand at the dock. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They like does it for them. They like tip them 15 dogs and they just leave them on the dock.

That's kind of, I'll still be happy with that. Honestly, that's kind of like fishing Tinder right there. It's just stand at the dock and see, you know, you got probably the same amount of chances at getting on someone's boat as you do getting on a first date.

That is true. Yeah. Yeah, and I think a tip. I think you should, you know, just like, you know, if you're going to put your dog down, you let them have one day, just gets to do everything he wants, you know, eats a full 16 ounce ribby, a bunch of fucking chocolate, you know, whatever, and then you take him to the vet. Like, I think you'd have one of those days with your buddy, you know, take them out,

let him boss you around like he loves to do. oh yeah maybe even make like a shutterfly book of all the fish you caught give that to him as a present um you know and then just end by saying now you're dead to me yeah and then at the end of the day just go that was the last time we're going to fish together um because that b i tc h a years it's really put a damper on this whole thing well and then uh you you stand there on the dock watch them right off into the sunset and you go find yourself a new fishing buddy.

Miles. I don't think you should call her a BITCHH. Well, if anything, he's the bitch. Yeah, he's the BITC. He's the one that he can't even take you know, he wants to go fishing. He's obsessed with fishing.

It's just, you know, he's too much of a... Hey, that was my fault. Let it out. Sensitive of me. Let's, yeah. He's, you could tell he had some pent up in there. Tell us. That's how you really feel.

No, no, he's a good guy, but he's, uh, there's a, there's a history with all his relationships where he just kind of lets them take control. Yeah, and then he wants to go fishing, but no, she's, she's mad. Now I can't go fishing because I want to go fishing with you or, you know, he's like, let me ask. And how does that make you feel? All I'm saying is, hey, you want to, you want to hang out? I'm, I'm going on a trip for two weeks.

Do you want to hang out before I go? Uh, let me, let me, let me, let me ask her. Oh, let me ask her. buddy you can't i can't even come over anymore without you have an ask her i mean i you know if i was coming over a lot i understand but this is i barely see him you know three times a week no well not anymore it's like i see him like once every two weeks man it's getting more and how does that make you feel you know it sucks well you know it is what it is i'm glad he's happy um he'll come to his senses hopefully one day because you know you can only let's help him come to his

senses let's help him all right so take the gal what's her name uh you don't want to give her uh yeah yeah we'll give her cindy so is there any weaknesses in their relationship is there anything that you know cindy wishes he would do that he's never going to do maybe just not not hang out with me anymore not go fishing it drop fishing okay so you think cindy just doesn't even like you in general no she likes me she just i think she wants to get as much him time as possible well let's look at it like this this is my I'm a little shaky on this relationship because she's not even from from up here. Which is cool.

They were talking online. She was from a little down south a little bit about two hours away. Oh, she was from. Yeah. In Minnesota, yeah. And then they started talking online. And then she came up, stayed with them for a weekend. And they kind of did that for a couple months.

And then she just moved in with them. Moving fast. Now they're engaged. Yeah. And she said, if you don't ask me to marry you, then I'm going to ask you to marry me. whoa whoa one of those and you know your buddy's just going to say yes yeah he's like what i'm not going to let her do it for me so he went and got the ring engaged and the the fishing's gone downhill ever since but you know that that's not the only

thing because my buddy matters more than fishing and i can deal with the fishing but you know i'm going to miss them that's all this is the most wholesome thing ever i know love how sad you are i don't love that you're sad, but I love how sad you are. Well, you know, we, we live in a small town and we would hang out quite, quite often all the time. You know, we were both single, you know, go fishing, just hang out with each other, take our dogs on a walk. You know, I got, I know, it's all right. I got other friends, but you guys hang out underneath the bridge and cuddle is two or what?

No, no, no, nothing like that. Not like you and Charlie. You saw that video? Yeah, touch the mouth. Yeah. Myles just grab my boob. Is there a... You don't think there's any...

You think she's like head over heels in love with this guy. She must be. His house is a fucking mess. Wow. Now you're getting mean. What's that mean? Well, I don't know. His house is just filthy.

So she has to like him to want to live there. Got it. That's all I mean. You know, I mean, you can't keep the thing clean. And the only reason why his boat's clean is because you're doing all the work. Yeah. because we're over here fucking picking the beer cans and stuff. This guy sounds like king's shit.

You're so bitter. I wonder, is... Well, you know, I wouldn't care if it was, you know, I don't know. Do you think, do you think that they should get married? You think they should get married? Yeah. I mean, yeah. I think he's the best, she's the best girlfriend that he's had.

But, I mean, I think they're a little young. moving a little quick but you know time will tell well do you think your buddy's capable of um he's pretty loyal guy not probably not so if at is at is are you going to be the best man probably probably what if what do you think of for speechwise at the wedding man i don't know i don't know they're not going to do the wedding for like another year to really make sure, you know, they love each other. But I'll just talk about how she's been good to him and put, I don't know. You could go.

He really changed it. He really changed his ways for her. Yeah. He had a loyalty problem, but he's holding strong. Well, he hasn't. Okay. Yeah, bring up how he used to cheat a bunch at the wedding. That's a good idea.

Yeah. But he hasn't cheated on you yet. So. Has he ever cheated? oh yeah oh okay every other one of his girlfriends what you could do is when you do get your hands on them take them to the bar and just

you know go to a bar where there's a lot of good looking gals make them fold yeah make a bad decision and then you got your fish buddy that's exactly that's so terrible that might be the move miles I was kind of thinking that yeah you know the old

the old bait and lure technique yeah find a honey hole throw some bait on the old hook and just let them bite what does let them bite himself over yeah yeah what's the name of a few pictures well yeah

yeah only fins don't do that that's mean no I'm not going to do that don't do that he's thinking about it you can tell him the way you said it You wrote that one down. I heard a pen scratching in the background.

You could go the eulogy speech at his wedding, you know. Here lies my fishing buddy here today. You know, he lived a great life. Or you can just let him go. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm... Yeah, it's like... You know, it's like when you catch a bluegill, right? you put him in the water

and if he swims away it was never meant to be but if he keeps swimming by your boat you know he's yours forever that's a good one yeah yeah like that yeah I think you know I think you're learning one of times

one of life's tough lessons and that is that there are seasons of your life and certain people are there for seasons of season one, season two, but they're not always there for season three. They get killed off the show. Yeah.

And that's what happens. And, you know, maybe just be grateful when you do get to go fishing with them. Yeah. And you're right, you're right. And based off of how quick this marriage is happening, you'll have your buddy back again for season six, okay? I knew that would be your point of view, Charlie.

Yeah, it took me a while to get there. but come 26, you'll have your buddy right back there with you. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, it's, and it's every time I have gotten out with him since, she's always been there. So, you know, she's cool, but it affects the conversation, you know. Do you even know how he really feels about her? Have you hung out one-on-one with him?

Barely, but yeah. Yeah, I've gotten a few chances over the past couple months to get some time. And, you know, he says it's going, keeps getting better. That's what he says. Keeps getting better. Okay. Well, it usually takes a couple years for that. For that to wear off.

Get over the honeymoon phase. Yep. So I think by 26, you have your fishing, buddy. You just need a temp, buddy. So they really... I've been, I got one right now. Okay. I've got Leach Soaking Logan.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Let's Soaking Logan. Taking me out. Yeah. Well, you just keep... You tell Leach Sogan, Logan, we says hi. And just keep treating him well, okay, before he gets a girlfriend, too.

Oh, yeah, no, I will. He's a good guy, good guy. Bless me with taking me out for a couple days. And we're going to get some ice fishing in this winter, catch some lake trout, hopefully. Hendog, how much would you care about this if you had your own boat? Maybe like 30% less. Okay.

You know, I really care for this guy. You know, obviously I have my own boat and I could go out fishing by myself. But then, you know, you're sitting out there by yourself, you know, catch a big fish. who's there to see you catch it, you know? Yeah. Yeah. That's actually really sad.

That is really sad. You know? Yeah. That's like when you're like in the, uh, you're like in your house by yourself and like a cup falls out of the cupboard and it like bounces a bunch of times and you kick it and you end up catching it. And you're like, I just did. I just did the amazing thing and there's no one there to see it.

Yeah. Or like trying to take a picture of this big fish you got by yourself. Yeah. You just can't fit it all in the shot. I don't know. I've never had that problem fishing. I usually could take a selfie like this close to my face. I can zoom in on the selfie and still get my fish.

Yeah. Well, I think it's going to be okay. You know, the sun's going to come up tomorrow. There's always another fishing buddy out there. There's plenty of fish in the sea. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I was hoping you guys would, you know, complain a little more.

complain a little more. Do we not complain enough? You want me to complain? I'll complain. No, no. You called for some advice. Yeah, I appreciate the advice.

That was some good advice to guys. Thank you. Yeah, screw your buddy. Is that good? Do you like that? Yeah. Where does he get off? Yeah.

Besides at home. All the time now that he's got a girlfriend. What about you? Are you, do you have a girlfriend? Do you have any interest in? Nah. Are you in the one? I got a ex-girlfriend,

but she's in a different state right now. Shoot her a text. Occupy yourself a little bit. Oh, no, I do. Okay. Oh, dude. I'm going to go see her here shortly. Dude, dude, dude, dude.

What? Dude. Hank Dog. HD. You need to find a girlfriend that she really likes. I was thinking about that one. They can hang out together and you and your buddy. Oh, Miles.

Now you're thinking. That's good. That's good. And maybe we start out. We all hang out. And then they're going to be like, no, we need girl time. We need girl time. We need flip the script on them. If you could, if you can find a gal that actually is outdoorsy, too.

Actually, no, you don't want it to be outdoorsy. No, you want them, you want an indoor cat. Yeah, yeah. You want an indoor cat because your buddy's got an indoor cat. You don't want them outdoors. That's true. No, no. Okay.

So, yeah. But then if I found an outdoorsy one, maybe she has a, a boat. So don't, hey, don't find, oh. And then you can fish like five, like seven days a week. Think about that. Yeah. Did she have friends?

No, she'll have any friends. Okay. Perfect. She's moved up here. Yeah, dude. She just got a job. She didn't have time and ready for some new friends. Don't find a girlfriend for love. Find a girlfriend that's compatible with your buddy's girlfriend. Smart.

Now you guys are spitting some game. Yes. This Miles, but this is your best idea on like six callers. Thanks. Yeah. All right, all right. All right, dude.

Well, we appreciate you calling in today. Yeah. Kind of a sad one, but, you know. No, it's not saying more. You gave him a great plan. Yeah. So I'll get, I'll get, yeah. I'll see what I can do here in the next year.

Hend dog, you go find your Jen dog and let us know when you got her, all right? Yeah. You know, Turley, how's the nicotine quitting going? It's going great. Hey, Hendog. Are you still going good? Yeah, I'm going just fine. He's not.

I'm going just fine. Come on, Chuck. It's not going well. I'm going good. I want your smile real big for me, Charlie. See, nothing. Okay. Nothing.

All right. Nice, town. Not a thing. All right. Nice. You know, I had an idea for you guys. What's that? Do you guys ever think, I'm sure someone's already thought about this on your team because

you got a good team over there, but you ever think of doing like an episode from like the ice shack or the deer stand? we did that on our other podcasts we did you did uh you bet your radio podcast from yeah from the deer stand you twice actually i think that's episode 150 151 and 152 wow it was on it it was uh it was great we should definitely i'm not that i'm not that far on the uh the other one on yours miles no you're good you're good but yeah we've done that and it would be fun to do that let's do it this year yeah let's do battle on bago or something yeah we just need like a good good good good sell service to be able to take callers yeah yeah bugaboo it's true hey come up to come up to eerie lead soak and logan's got a nice hot ice shack

He lost his first love, Miles. That is true. So I'm saying. But you did give great advice. Yeah. Totally redeemed myself. No, you were, you were fine. I was just, I was just horsing around with you there, you know, but I did with a straight face.

And also, you know, some of the best friendships are when you don't see each other very often, Charlie. That's true. See each other only once every six weeks. And it's like we never skipped the beat. Yeah. You know? Yeah. It's great.

Occasionally. And honestly, it's kind of. a nice it's kind of nice only seeing you once every six weeks yeah it's like you get your fill of me and then just fill me up fill you up buttercup and then come over to my house you just fill me up i do and then and then you go and then you go on your way yes i do and i'm full until another six weeks yeah you know i'm running on fumes for my charlie fix yeah and then all charlie dog A seed dog comes over.
