Starting point is 00:02:19 Today, Charlie, we're at the Mars cheese castle, Kenosha, Wisconsin. Beautiful place. Beautiful town. We met. We met the guy at the cheese castle, Charlie, that cuts the cheese. We met the cheese cutter. You know, I thought he would smell worse, but, you know, he must have a lot of cologne on. Miles, miles, miles. There's miles. Hey, why is his body look so good? Because he's always eating them low hanging fruits Yeah, gotta get your vegetables and fruits in Charlie as she do miles
Starting point is 00:02:53 Charlie I was watching some football last night. Yeah, and I had a thought when I was watching the postgame interview That you should open your yearbook up again. Well, yeah. Well, one, I've mastered the art of the post game interview. Oh, the post game interview. Sorry. Post win game interviews that I had to do over the years. Did you do a lot of post game interviews?
Starting point is 00:03:17 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. So WDAY. Not to brag. Pretty big deal.
Starting point is 00:03:24 You know what I think would be fun as if they have post game interviews for other things. That's yes. 100 percent. Like what would be a good post game interview sounds the same. And we can prove it right here right now by doing a post game ice fishing in. Oh, OK. OK. I'm the interviewee. All right. All right. I got towee. All right. Hold on, I gotta walk in. How we doing folks? Yeah, Charlie from the district. Hey, Miles, by the way, great, great catches out there.
Starting point is 00:03:55 You really got a good batch of perch in there and some crappies and a few northern too. What was going through your head out there as you had the third Northern on the line? Well, first I just got to tip my cap to the other guys and the other shanties. You know, they're a good team over there and they really fought hard, but I'm also really proud of our guys and our shanty. You know, we dealt with some adversity early there.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I saw that. Buddy heater went out. Yeah, cold toes. Our guys are a resilient group of guys and we were able to get the job done. And what are you guys going to do about the fact that your ice shanty when bringing it off the lake, you tore off the bottom piece of the fabric there? It's unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:04:47 But like we tell our guys in the locker room every week that it's all about the things you can control and you could have controlled that. In fact, your what your teammate, Ryan, he was hammered when he put his boot through it. You're talking about getting the ice or getting that shanty off the ice. I'm talking about, yeah. We're not talking about fishing.
Starting point is 00:05:13 We're talking about getting it off the ice. I thought it was a fair question. We're up here fishing and you wanna talk about getting the shanty off the ice. I thought it was a fair question. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Not fishing. Pulling the shanty off the ice.
Starting point is 00:05:31 That's what we're in here talking about. People have been asking, though, if perhaps you guys weren't drinking so many beers on the ice, could you have brought in even more fish? You know, like we tell our guys every single week, it's about the things you can control. And some days the fish are biting, some days they're not, but we just got to keep swinging that axe and eventually the tree is going to fall down.
Starting point is 00:05:54 One would think, you know, we got a good group of guys in that locker room. Right, right, right. One thing that you could control is the amount that you drink out there on the ice. And it seems like you guys crushed 230 racks and there was three of you. Well, and honestly hats off to the guys, the other shanties, they were drinking quite a bit of beer too. And so they put up a good fight. Um, but ultimately when it boils down to it, we got a good group of guys over in that locker room and uh, we don't like to listen to all the noise. And we're
Starting point is 00:06:25 going to wake up tomorrow. We're going to celebrate this one and we're going to wake up tomorrow and we'll be on to next week. You guys lost two cell phones in the ice fishing hole. Are there any regrets about that? I tell my guys every week that we don't want to live with regrets, you know, and as long as we show up every day, bring good energy, stay focused on the task at hand, you know, the wins and losses take care of themselves. And so we just try to go one and oh this week. And, you know, I could be more proud of our guys, their work ethic.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I'm excited to see where we go. Speaking of losses, Tyler lost his truck through the ice. Do you think he really should have driven it out there with only six inches? Yeah, it's tough to lose a good, a good ball player like that through the ice. You know, when I I'd be lying if I didn't say that one hurts, but we'll mourn him. You know, we'll go to the funeral on on Saturday. But then right after that funeral, we're going to be we'll wake up the next day. We're going to get funeral on on Saturday, but then right after that funeral, we're going to be wake up the next day
Starting point is 00:07:26 We're gonna get back focused on next week Do you feel like you should have tried to rescue him instead of cracked a few beers and said we'll see if he can Slim to the top Are you laughing or crying Tyler was a good man. He had a family. You know, I'm just proud of the guys in the locker room. They got a great work ethic and also hats off to the other guys in the other shanties. They work hard. So do we.
Starting point is 00:07:57 And just so happened that something like that happens. Sometimes the ball bounces your way. Sometimes a fish swim your way. Sometimes they don't, but all I know is we're gonna wake up tomorrow and be on the next week. Thank you coach. Thank you. No problem. That's all it is. A lot of hats off a lot of respect for the other team. They have you noticed they say that in every answer. Yeah. If you're so if you're doing an interview, a sports interview, you either need to give hats off to the other team and mad respect or hats off to your own teammates. And then
Starting point is 00:08:36 if you get that out of the way, you can brag about yourself all you want after, you know? So you rush for 690 yards today. you know? Well, first of all, hats off to my teammates. I couldn't do it without them, but yeah, I'm pretty fucking good. Um, you see that spin move. Oh my God. But hats off to my teammates for not getting in the way. Uh, you know, over and over it is unless you're Aaron Rogers doing a post game interview, you know? And okay. Here is Aaron Rogers. you're Aaron Rogers doing a post game interview, you know? And okay. Here is Aaron Rogers. You're Aaron Rogers. I'm the interviewer. He just got done icing. This is a post game. Aaron Rogers ice fishing. So Aaron, um, you know, there's been
Starting point is 00:09:19 a lot of buzz this off season and, uh, you assured us you were going to come and perform today. Wasn't necessarily the outcome that you had wanted. What what went on in that shanty today? Well, it's everybody else's fault. First and foremost, Tyler, he drove his truck out there. He fell through the ice and I would have saved him. But what's the point? He's useless. You know, you look at Ryan Ryan's out there, he's drilling the holes.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I mean, I say, Ryan, there's perch here and he drills all over there. And then he drops the chisel through the ice. Who even uses a chisel anymore? You know, completely his fault. No, I'm just here cashing my one hundred fifty million dollars. And the fact that these guys can't drill hole is not my problem. OK, there was some reports, you know, during the day And the fact that these guys can't drill a hole is not my problem. Okay. There was some reports, you know, during the day
Starting point is 00:10:10 that there was some sort of substance or smoke billowing out of your shanty. Can you tell us what that's all about? That was our ayahuasca medicine shanty. And that's where I was seeing the perch from the perch's point of view. In order to catch the perch, you have to be one with the perch. And I am was seeing the perch from the purchase point of view. In order to catch the perch, you have to be one with the perch and I am one with the perch. OK, and what I have to do out there is what I have to do out there to get the job
Starting point is 00:10:33 done. I did see you have a conversation with the DNR today. Can you tell us what that was all about? Well, they don't know what the fuck they're doing. OK, I'm going to tell you that right now. All right. They're getting out there saying protect the fuck they're doing. Okay. I'm going to tell you that right now. All right. They're getting out there saying protect the fish. You know, what about protecting the ice fishermen? Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Ryan's down there. Sorry. Tyler's down there, whoever it was done married down there drowning. And I got to talk to you about why we're shooting perch with a shotgun. Well, I mean, it's not my issue. If they float, they're dead. They're mine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Speaking of floating, would it kill Tyler to float for God's sakes You know now we got to go down there and try to find his body. It's I'm freezing. It's not my fault Yeah, well, thank you Aaron go fuck yourself Like that that's kind of fun To a postgame interview of our dads. So, Mike. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's your plan for tomorrow? I know it didn't bite out there today very well.
Starting point is 00:11:39 So what's your plan tomorrow? Yeah, well, we'll show up. Yeah. Wherever we fish, we fish. So, OK, well, what time do you plan on getting out planned tomorrow? Yeah, well, we'll show up. Yeah. Wherever we fish, we fish. So, OK, well, what time do you plan on getting out here tomorrow? When I get out here? OK. All right. Well, a good talk. Oh, yeah. Well, we got another episode of the belly dub podcast here, miles.
Starting point is 00:12:10 We're goofy today, folks. We're goofy. We're going to take some callers and we're going to try to leave it all out on the field on this episode of the belly dub podcast. Honestly, hats off to all of the listeners out there. We couldn't do it without them. We could. But I'm just proud of our guys here
Starting point is 00:12:27 for getting the job done today. Proud of what we've been able to accomplish. A lot of respect for the other podcasts out there, too. They play good ball. And they're good podcasts. They're going to be tough to beat down the road. But we're on to the next caller. And one caller at a time.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Just proud of our guys. All right guys, we have Jared from Kansas city, Missouri. And Jared has a little bit of a, everybody loves Raymond situation on his hands. Jared, what's going on? That's true. Life comes at you fast and you know, you get married, you have some kids and then the next thing you know, you get married, you have some kids. And then the next thing you know, your in-laws live across the street. Wow. It's, it's going okay. We're, we're hanging in there. We're doing okay so far, but you know, I want to be preventative, want to be strategic in how we handle the situation. Okay. So who better to call? Thank you. Thank you. Yes. 100%. So give us a little backstory. Why did they move next door?
Starting point is 00:13:28 Um, and give me the whole rundown on that. Yeah. Does your wife like it? Uh, you know, it has its days, but here's, here's how it went down. My father-in-law's a realtor, right? He's a, he's a really successful realtor. So he knows, he knows what's going on around town. You know, we bought this house, of course, he helped us buy it. And at the time, it's a great house for us, but there happens to be an empty lot across the street, in a residential neighborhood and everything. And then, you know, what happens is, a year goes by
Starting point is 00:14:01 and he says, Hey, you know, I'm thinking about buying this lot just as an investment, you know, just to hold on to it. Land is a year goes by and he says, hey, you know, I'm thinking about buying this lot just as an investment, you know, just to hold on to it. Land is a good investment. So he buys a lot. Are you, are you okay with this? Yeah, okay. That's fine. Another year or two goes by, hey, you know, we've been thinking about building a house somewhere. What about this lot that you guys have across the street? And so they actually ended up, you know, what do you say at that point? No, you know, so here we are. Here we are a few years later. They built their dream house and right across the street. So
Starting point is 00:14:38 everything is good overall, but, but want to just make sure that we get ahead of any issues. He did a classic bait and switch hats off to your father-in-law because he's playing chess while you guys are all playing checkers. I think that was the plan all along. Of course it was. It's hard not to think that to be honest. Well you got to give him props because he likes you.
Starting point is 00:15:02 He likes you. I guess. So give yourself to keep a close eye on things. He likes you. I guess. So give yourself To keep a close eye on things. I think it's maybe more Well let him keep a close eye. Do you ever look out like the front window of your house and just see him sitting on the porch,
Starting point is 00:15:15 cleaning his gun, cleaning his shotgun. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Cleaning everything. Yeah. Cleaning the shotgun, keeping the truck clean. Just a little bit of judgment here and there. I'm shooting across, you know, if the grass isn't cut right, if there's weeds growing up, you know, all kinds of things that just makes me a little self-conscious. This guy gives me very, uh, meet the parents vibes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Is his name Jack? Yeah, Jack. Uh, you might want to do a little sweep in your house to see if it's bugged or not. You might be running surveillance. So bad idea. So have you had any issues? Are they stopping over a lot? What's is there any? Are there no boundaries? What's what's been going on there? You know, overall they're okay with the boundaries. I think they get that there needs to be some boundaries, but there's things're okay with the boundaries. I think they get that there needs to be some boundaries, but there's things that supersede the boundaries too. We got two kids, you know, their grandkids and so they can, they can just stop on it and they can just walk in
Starting point is 00:16:16 the door sometimes or they'll do the, you know, the classic like a two knock and then just walk straight in anyway, like that, like that helps you at all. Like what's the point of knocking if you're just coming in? So, you know, all right, what's going on kids? Wow. Yeah, they're, they're violating some boundaries. I tell you that. All right. Well, Charlie, let's rapid fire here. What are some techniques to set some boundaries? If you're in laws live next door. I think you guys start walking around naked a lot. I think you gotta let it hang there. Let it hang Jared and then wait for that knock
Starting point is 00:16:53 and just be sitting there Superman and looking at the door. And when they walk in and be like, can I help you with something? And look them dead in the eyes. Yeah, just take one moment of embarrassment to be safe the rest of your life. And I don't care where his eyes are looking. When you see him say eyes up here, what's the name of your father? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Chuck eyes up here, Chuck eyes up here. I think another move, same vein. Just put a sock on the front door. same vein, just put a sock on the front door. That's good. That's real good. Then they won't even waste the time to walk over there. They'll be able to spot that sucker. Yeah. Do like a, like a neon orange sock, put it on door handles. I can see it from their house. Yeah. And then if he comes in with that sock in hand, you're sitting there, don't out. Thanks, Chuck. I was looking for my sock and then just put it in with that sock in hand you're sitting there dong out. Thanks Chuck I was looking for my sock and then just put it on over your deal red hot chili pepper style
Starting point is 00:17:50 And then just walk can I get you anything or? You could take the other approach You could be the bad neighbor yourself. You could you could do a double knock walk into their house Treat it like your own. You know, Chuck's out there working hard, slinging real estate. You're sitting on his favorite chair. He comes in the door, you're sitting on his favorite chair. Chuck's going to think twice about wanting to live right.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Get ahead of it. Proactive about that's true. You need to make them want to move somewhere else. Yeah. You got any fireworks Jared? We could. This is Missouri. You could do what someone in my neighborhood does. They have motion sensor floodlights on the front of their house and you could just have a giant floodlight that lights up his whole house. Yeah. Pointed at his bedroom. Make the bedroom the target of that. You come over, you come over, don't take off your shoes, you know, just throw
Starting point is 00:18:49 those on all the furniture could be good. Go over there clean his gutters once a week until you break a gutter, put some pressure on a gutter, go over to his house and just eat all of his snacks that actually, and drink all of his beer that will, that will make a guy do some crazy things. Yeah. The problem with some of these ideas you guys are mentioned is that he could turn and use those first ideas that you gave me back on me. And that's just a situation I don't want to get into. Oh, you don't want to see Chuck's bits and pieces. Well, I think it's a game of chicken, Charlie. Who's willing to get crazy game of chicken with two cocks. What does your wife think about the whole situation? You know, what's always different
Starting point is 00:19:37 when it's the in-laws or she's close with her mom and that sort of thing. So for her, I think it's, it's smooth sailing, you know, she, she also uses it to her advantage, you know, with the kids, like our kids are over there all the time. And so sometimes we can, that's what there's definitely pros to open the door and shove the kids in, you know, and then just go back across the street, stuff like that. So that works out. That's not bad. You got babysitters right there.
Starting point is 00:20:03 We should start looking at the positives of this, you know? Not all bad. No, you and your wife can have a lot of you and your lifetime, if you know what I mean. Just remember the sock. Yeah. Put the sock. That's true. Toss the kids out, put the sock on the door.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Say if this socks are rocking, don't come and knock it. Put that sign up actually. Yeah, my bad. The other pro would be, I pretty much never have to buy any more tools. Just got the code to a shop and just what mine is is now. He's got a whole shop in his garage. Oh, yeah. Oh, Jared, what are you doing, dude? Chuck seems like a good guy.
Starting point is 00:20:42 I'm team Chuck now. I just turned. Further we get into this, I'm starting to see less and less disadvantages. Yeah. I mean, what's the, what's the big deal? You got an insta babysitter. Yup. You got a whole shop next door. Yeah. Um, you have someone always watching your house, so it's going to be safe. You don't even got to spend the money on a ring doorbell. Yeah. What's so wrong? Yeah. What's so there must be a problem with Chuck or is it the mother-in-law that gives you problems? What's her name? No, no, no, no. She's great. She's great. She's a babysitter. No, no, no, no. She's great. A little more emotion in that voice. She's standing over his shoulder with a head holding, holding cue
Starting point is 00:21:27 cards on what you say. Maybe it's my insecurities. Like I said, what are you in the house? Is the house the order? Are the weeds clicked? Is the, are the weeds picked in the driveway? You know, shoveled that sort of stuff. You know, it's not even anything he's doing. Maybe it's me. Yeah. Maybe you're projecting, you know, Chuck probably don't care. Does Chuck care? Does he come over? Oh, he does. Yeah. But he's, he cares, but he's also successful that he just pays to have all that done, you know, kind of in competitions like competition with your neighbors, but
Starting point is 00:22:05 your neighbors, just your father. There you go. You live across the street. See if you can get kind of a two for one deal from the guys mowing the lawn and shoveling the snow. You know, he's trying to keep up with the chucks, keeping up with the job I've been doing, trying to do that for years, keeping up with the Chuck. Your name's Chuck. Oh yeah. I get it. That's funny. Yeah Is he Is he like a? Competitive guy like is is there any of this that he's bringing on or is this all just your own emotional issues Jared?
Starting point is 00:22:38 I would say it's it's it's kind of the it's like the competition, but no one wants to call it a competition, you know? Like we both know it, but if you brought it up to him, he'd say, oh no, you know, it's all good. You know, you're busy, all this stuff, but secretly we all know he's winning the competition. Yeah. You know, that sort of thing. Does he come over and cut your lawn for you ever?
Starting point is 00:23:02 Oh no, no. He doesn't cut his own lawn, Charlie. He hasn't touched the lawnmower in many years. Does he, no. He doesn't cut his own. He hasn't touched the lawnmower in many years. Does he? I know he doesn't cause own lawn, but if he goes over there and cuts his lawn, you know, he probably has a lawnmower even though he doesn't cut his lawn, right? I don't think so. Oh really? Oh, he's one of those guys. He's a bougie one. I got another question for you. Would you rather have your in-laws across the street or your own parents across the street? Right. My in-laws. Wow. Really? Yeah, probably. What would be so bad about having your parents
Starting point is 00:23:39 across the street? Well, I feel like it would just be, you know, all the same insecurities just dialed up. If it's my own old man, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I think. And I think that's the real issue here. I think Chuck is reminding you of your old man a little bit. Yeah, never thought about it in that way. Do you have a good therapist or bartender you can talk to over there in Missouri? Uh, got the bartender. Okay. Well, get over to the bar. I want you, this is what you got to do. You get over to the bar today and you start dialing this in with your
Starting point is 00:24:11 bartender. All right. I think I'm going to recommend a session a week for the next month until you get this straightened around. Yeah. And if you really want to hit a head on, get, bring your dad and your father in law to the bar as well. And you got to just all hash it out. Yeah. Yeah. We've got some unresolved childhood issues.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Maybe so. Yeah. Did you imagine even just doing that with my own dad? You imagine that Charlie sitting at a bar drinking and having the bartender do therapy with you and your dad is my nightmare. My dad would be so uncomfortable. He wouldn't say a word. You just sit there, but it just sit there. I feel like arms crossed, kind of like this looking at you, judging you just peel in the bar beer bottle. He would, yeah, he would just sit there wide-eyed. Like what is going on? You talking about feelings? No, no, no, no, no. We bury those babies deep down and never bring them back up. Maybe that's just what I need to do here. Yeah. Well, Jared, um, some real advice, just
Starting point is 00:25:20 pretend he doesn't live across the street. You're going to be a happier human being. What's the worst that's going to happen. Otherwise Jared, buy yourself a drone and start drone and around his house at night. Make them think there's aliens that live above them. Not a bad idea. Just don't get too close to the window. That camera might catch something you don't want to see that's true, too I sell our trade down for a drone I Thought you were gonna say your house. Oh Man well Jared good luck with it. Okay Hey, thanks boys good advice. Yep
Starting point is 00:26:00 What you know how something that goes? All right. Sounds good. Tell Chuck. We say hi. All right. Sounds good. Watch for deer. All right. We'll do, but by now it sounds like he kind of lucked out. It sounds like he got good in-laws.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Yeah. I mean, everybody loves Raymond situation was a little bit of a stretch. Yeah. Yeah. He's got free babysitters. He's got, uh, every tool you ever needed. He's got every tool you ever needed. He's got another fridge full of beer if he ever runs out. I mean, I think Jared's going to be okay.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Miles, it actually would be interesting to hear and take on this, considering that I own a late cabin directly next door to my parents. That's true. Yeah, that's true. Is that ever get weird? Oh no. I am, I'm a direct guy. So if we're like, hey, we're just gonna hang out at our place today, we'll usually say that

You know, basically parents were, you know, I was babysat by him. So, you know, I know the language and everything out here in central Ohio. So you rump spring it huh? Oh I mean I live every day on the rump spring it you know. There you go now for people who don't know Amish tell us how do you go from being Amish to not Amish? So you know it really depends on the
Starting point is 00:28:42 church you know some people you know some churches really depends on the church. You know, some people, you know, some churches really don't like it. Some do. But you basically just, you know, throw your little straw hat in the corner and say, I'm done. Are your parents still Amish? No, no, they were they would have switched before they, you know, they got hitched. Oh, OK, so they switched before they got hitched. Oh, okay. So they switched before they got hitched. So one of your parents is a non-Ahm and one is an Ahm. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:29:12 They were both Ahmish growing up and then both switched to not Ahmish on their own time then got married, you know, normal. Ah, you know. Okay, you know, Charlie. So they rum spring at first you know, okay, you know Charlie, so they were on spring at first Right. No. Yeah, they they did the forever room spring. So you were never Amish, you know No, no, but you know, basically, you know might as well have been you know, baby
Starting point is 00:29:37 Sapphire the Amish aunt and uncle, you know cousins and such and is it true that they have you know, no Access to hear this podcast or is that a misnomer? Oh no, that's correct. I mean, other than the room spring, they don't got phones. Well, there's no way they can be tracked by AI. So that's... Oh, no way. No, they're off the grid. So he sounds like you should be Amish, you know I'm I'm new Amish, you know, I'm gonna get a phone. Yeah. Yeah, I'll be new on that Okay, so you gotta get a yeah. Sorry. Go ahead. I was gonna say in your Your voicemail, you know you were saying that you could be an Amish translator for us, you know? Oh, for sure. Okay. All right. So I do. Do you have a message that you'd like to get to the Amish? Andre will
Starting point is 00:30:35 pass that along. I would like to say, I'd like to tell them, I'm sorry for if I ever insulted a nomin. I don't think I did. I think I've always been respectful, but in your voicemail, you made it sound like maybe I said something non-Amish friendly. Was that true? I forget what I said. No, no. I just know every now and again, you come up like, I listen to a lot of your guys' podcasts and every now and again, you guys are like, oh yeah, the Amish, whatever. Oh, they'll never hear that. Well, there's a lot of different kinds of Amish. This is the Ohio Amish. There's two main hubs for the Amish. There's Lancaster PA and then there's the Holmes County Amish out here in Ohio, you know, the red
Starting point is 00:31:26 headed stepchild of the Midwest, no offense, the redheads are stepchildren, but you know, it's a, that's how it is out here. You know, I, you know, live in sugar Creek here. It's about five minutes from, from the, I guess the main spot, the main town of the Amish kind of where they settle but yeah, no It's typical, you know sugar freak. There's a you know in typical Midwest fashion. There's You know small town so they got to compensate they got a world's biggest cuckoo clock So, you know, you want to come see a big cuckoo clock. That's you know, here's this place to go You know, that's pretty slick. So why did the Amish not like
Starting point is 00:32:05 technology? Did they know that robots were going to kill us all back when they decided not to do it? Oh, they, you know, they probably had a hunch, you know, no, the I guess the main policy behind it is, is it's
Starting point is 00:32:21 too worldly and you know, the world is, you know, evil and sinful. So if they detach themselves from this and you know, the world is you know, evil and sinful So if they detached themselves from this, you know world then that's their that's their ticket Hmm. Not bad actually. Actually a lot of him kind of checks out. Yeah looking for what's false about it. Are you a missionary? No, I I'm you know, I'm not here to, uh, diss on the Amish, you know, I got a lot of relatives, but what I will say is, uh, there's five requirements
Starting point is 00:32:51 to be a cult and they have four of them. So, you know, you'll let that be what it is. What, uh, you know, what is the, uh, the fifth thing they're missing, you know, to be a cult? Um, I believe, to be a cult? I believe. I'm not quite sure. I know that they have, if you leave, then you're like you're banished and excommunicated is what they call it. They won't talk to you anymore. But, you know, that's kind of like same thing with the church is it kind of varies by church.
Starting point is 00:33:23 But there's a few different things like you're have to follow the rules and regulations of the elders and a whole bunch of things like that. But the actual fifth thing that it's not, I can't quite put a finger on Kool-Aid. You guys aren't in the Kool-Aid. Yeah, no, they know that's too sugary. Yeah. Not because they don't want to, you know. Yeah. They're just doing it because it's too much sugar. Otherwise they would totally be in the Kool-Aid. What's the best part? What's the best part about the Amish?
Starting point is 00:33:53 What's the worst part? I'd say the best part is. Generally speaking, they have pretty good morals, you know, they're, you know, you They're most of the part respectful and have the help in hand. If someone in the church's house burned down or something, the whole community will get together and build them a new house or give them loans or whatever, whatever the community needs. But I'd say the worst part is, you know, driving those, those bicycles down the road at the frigid Ohio temperature of, you know, it gets nasty around here, you know, freezing,
Starting point is 00:34:32 cold snow everywhere and slipping and sliding on the bikes. Like, you know, no tomorrow. Well, I saw this one, um, as she was skiing behind a horse and I thought that was pretty cool. He's in the ditch. The horse was, you ever ski behind a horse? Have an Amish affiliation? I can't say that I have. I have went sledding behind the tractor, you know, that's suffice. That's close. That's a little bit too much technology for my preference there though. So you told us you can speak Dutch, you know? Yeah, that's right. There's a, so there's a language that they all speak amongst themselves. Now there's different
Starting point is 00:35:11 dialects and different versions. I would depend on where you go, but it's called Pennsylvania Dutch and it's a, it's kind of a mixed dialect between English, German, you know, Swiss and a little bit of Dutch itself. But yeah, they just kind of it's referred to as Dutch around here. Well, let's hear it. How do you say, you know, in Dutch, how do you say, you know, in Dutch? Do they? Nice. Do they? Yep. Do they?
Starting point is 00:35:42 Well, that's interesting to Vash. So I'll tell you this much. The Vash, the Amish, the Vash, you see them go around the town and you're like, these guys, they kind of have a lot figured out. Like they make great products and they make great food. You know, I'm sorry, DeVayish. DeVayish, yep, yep, yep. And, but there's always kind of this trick of the trade
Starting point is 00:36:12 of like what parts of technology do they embrace, what parts don't they? Like some of them do pay, they all do cash transactions. There's no tapping with the Amish. And is that the only form of currency or do they have DeVay's Amish currency? Oh, no. So yeah, they're either cash or see the thing about it is these churches, they kind of get lenient and they, you know, they bet you they bend and stretch the rules, you know, depending
Starting point is 00:36:41 on preference or whatever. But the best workaround for technology with an Amish will be a business. So you see an Amish will start a roofing business and then that gives them access to a company truck not that they can drive it but they essentially own it and the company has a credit card they don't have a credit card obviously. Oh there's plenty of loopholes. I can. Oh, yeah, it's crazy. So the company can own it.
Starting point is 00:37:10 This is almost like getting audited. The company can own it, but they can't personally own it. So corporations. So, yeah. So in the Amish community, there's no pass through. What do you mean? I don't know. It's a business term I don't fully understand. We're gonna circle back on that, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:30 Yeah. DeVayish. That'll work, that'll work. Oh yeah, I do mean it. What's the, what, is there any, like, what's the weirdest part about the Amish community? Like, why'd your parents leave? They just, you know know my mom said she left because she was riding a bike up a
Starting point is 00:37:49 hill one day and you know she was just pedaling and going to town on that bike and she you know as the cars were passing she's like you know this is real dumb you know I can like what am I doing here I I'm just pedaling. We know with all my mind. There's cars just zipping on by Yeah, so she said bridge too far That's right a shoulder too short and she left the community and then your dad. Why did he leave? He just I think it was kind of you know the people he was around his buddies, you know, uh, basically, you know, he was, he was room spring in and just never stopped. Usually it goes, you know, you turn 18, you start room spring in and around the 22, 23 age,
Starting point is 00:38:37 you know, you get, you find you a lovely lady and you settle down and you go back to, you know, cracking the whip up the old horse. But you know, he just decided, Hey, this, uh, this is a good time. I'll just keep doing this for the rest of my life. Just too horny. Yeah. You know, we've lost a lot of good Amish people to that. Hey, no. I mean, what's, what's stopping you from that and being honest, you know, they got, you know, I've got, I don't even know, you know, to be honest with you, you know, keep us on the hush hush. I don't even know all my cousins
Starting point is 00:39:07 names. Oh my God. My mom's got nine, my mom's got nine sisters and a brother. That's just my mom's side. There's over a hundred cousins. Well, that's not even close to how many siblings Charlie has. Yeah. We're not even Amish. We're just Catholic. Oh yeah. Hey, you know, similar, similar concept. Yeah. Same church, you know, similar, similar concept. Yeah. Same church, different view. Well, different church, different church, same type of PO. Yeah. Would. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Oh yeah. Bench and yeah, we got benches in the Amish church. So can you, does your dad no longer get contact with his family ever since he
Starting point is 00:39:43 left? No, that's actually, yeah, that's,'s, you know, we were lucky enough to that. The family's grandparents, which are still all Amish, you know, they, you know, that's kind of where they drew the line. Like they were supposed to, but they never did just, just cause that's just not how they rolled, which is, you know, I can appreciate it. That they just, you know, it's their, it's their child for Pete's sake. What do the Amish do for fun? Oh, softball, volleyball. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Now basketball, sports. That's, that's their big ticket. Only the girl sports. No basketball. Hey, softball, basketball. Hey. No, hey, go for the whatever. Softball, volleyball. You want to be very good. I'm actually looking.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Yes, sewing. No, I'm just kidding. I'm actually looking at a softball field right now. You know, they're littered around here. There's all these leagues and stuff. And yeah, they're big on softball. I mean, these boys and girls can hit fingers. Wow. And you said basketball too. That would be a great movie.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Like the first Amish guy to make it to the NBA. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's like the kingpin 2.0. Ever hear that movie with the bowling? Oh yeah. That's a doozy. Now that that Amish is not portrayed nearly as well, but I mean it's still you know, I get a kick out of it That's pretty cool. What are the names of all your cousins that you can remember? Oh Man, there's too many to list, you know, we've got some well here. How's about this?
Starting point is 00:41:17 I'll just start right, you know rambling off some names on the whole family. We got a Mary we have a You know, we got a Esther. We have a, uh, lots of Bible names really, if you know, you think about it, it's a lot of Bible names. Yeah. We're kind of odd. I didn't, you know, I never really picked up on that, but you know, lots of, yeah, lots of Bible names. Any, any Bible name you can think of, uh, that's yeah, I probably Ruth. Oh yeah. Yeah. Lots of Bible names. Any, any Bible name you can think of? Uh, Ruth. That's probably Ruth. Oh yeah. Yep. Joel. Um, um, Joel, Joel and Elizabeth. Job. Job. Job. Job. Job. Job. Job. The book of job. Job. Yeah. Yeah. Hard work. You know, that's another,
Starting point is 00:42:02 that's another, um, I'm saying, you know, uh, work, they work hard, you know that's another that's another um am i saying you know uh work they work hard you know raising barns yeah i've seen and you guys when you move a barn you got like a hundred of you you're like ants well yeah oh yeah that's not even a tenth of them with all these cousins that's just one family one immediate all a hundred of them lift a barn. That's right. That's why they have so many kids is so they can move barns around, you know? Yeah. That's exactly right. Yeah. The barns aren't going to move themselves. No, if you drop a barn on a kid, then you gotta have more in the wings. For sure. Hey, no, I got, you know, maybe some other things to talk about.
Starting point is 00:42:45 So yeah, I was gonna, I used to do portage on deliveries, right? And there's actually, Miles, you actually kind of hit the nail right on the head there. I think it's kind of funny. So I used to do portage on deliveries and there's some, there's a pet peeve that I got. It's when people call me buddy. And you know what? I mean, it's a difference in... It's really in the tone. I used to deliver Portage On and people were like, Oh, hey, buddy, you can just set it right over there. And I'll tell you what, that kind of gets my attention. Because it's like, why? I mean, it kind of feels like someone thinks a little bit lesser of you. And it's the same way with my guy.
Starting point is 00:43:22 There's a You Bet Your Radio, you got your radio episode, you know, found where all podcasts can be found where they're talking about, uh, what was it? I think I'm not quite sure, but it was he, you know, my guy and buddy, you know, it's just kind of a demeaning thing. So how would I go about getting people to not call me buddy? You know, I get it. I'm 20, got a little baby face, can't grow facial hair, but how do I, uh, how do I come across, uh, to not be a buddy to people, you know, a little bit
Starting point is 00:43:50 of one. I think I called you buddy when we started this call. Yeah, you did. Yeah. You did. Yeah. No, no, I, I knew you were gonna, you know, I have, like, I, there was just a thought in the back of my brain. He's going to call me buddy. Like I just find that fun. Yeah. I get a kick out of that. Oh my God. And when I said it, I was like, why did I call him buddy? You just have a, do you just have a persona and an aura that people want to call you buddy or what? It's my attention so much. And it's not like we got a guy that's a little more Southern
Starting point is 00:44:25 at work and he's like, Hey buddy, what's going on? You know, that doesn't bother me because it's like, you know, it's not, it doesn't, he doesn't seem to like feel any less me, but it's when it's like someone like three years older, man, like, Hey buddy, or like, you know, it's just like, what, you know, buddy, just relax. Listen, my guy, you gotta like that. Is that what you're talking about? Oh dude. Oh, for sure. But the funny thing is, is I, I, oh yeah. Yeah. I tell people that and they're like, oh yeah, they do it just like we did. They're like, Oh, you know, they really lean into it, but it doesn't really bother me when people do it to try to annoy me. It's when
Starting point is 00:45:00 that first it's the, it's like the subconscious thing to call me buddy is what gets my attention that's what really is weird you know um oh yeah how was my initial buddy was it friendly or was it snarky it was right you know it was right down the middle you know it was uh it wasn't too bad no okay sweet well man no and uh, buddy, this is Ben. Good buddy. Hey, I got one more thing. If you don't mind, let's do it. You got a horse. You want to buy so a trade? I don't actually my cousin, right? You know, so I do things very hardly. You know, you know, that's listening to podcasts. I've listened to you guys so much. Yeah. Do you listen to podcasts? Do you listen to podcasts hardly or do you listen to podcasts
Starting point is 00:45:49 hardly? Hardly. Yeah. Yeah. I know exactly what you're saying. Yeah. So miles, you know, I'm that guy that called out you, you know, with the catch-up situation. Are you sure you want to reveal yourself? Hey, you know what it is, what it is. I, you know, I'm now the, the resident secret exposure as you've, you know, pond me or whatever, but yeah, not that guy that called out Ryan, but do you have a, do you have a bead on who that guy is? You guys talking amongst each other? I don't, I, you know, I, you know, I can't reveal the secrets on that. No, but, uh, no, what I'll say, what I'll say is, uh, yeah, I've listened to, uh, both
Starting point is 00:46:30 you guys, the Cripes cast on all podcasts and we found out, say Charlie, uh, the sisters episode got a big kick out of that. You know, I've got younger sisters on my own, so I got a, got a real kick out of that dynamic. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. No, for sure. And I'll say one more thing. Me and you are very similar. You know, both black belts in taekwondo mean you could
Starting point is 00:46:50 take anybody. We could take anybody. I got mine at nine as well. You know, we can really go to Charlie wouldn't be so lippy if he remembered often that I am a black belt. You know what I mean? Oh, that's right. That's right right I forget you're a black belt I know yeah no problem yeah I love you guys you guys are you know really putting smiles on people's faces it's great you know great work that you do and I just want to say you know like you know I really adopted you guys as comedy I find myself saying things you know like oh like the Rhino and the miles, whatever, so yeah, no, take her easy, keep her moving. And yeah, it'll do. Yeah. Well, make sure you tell the Amish, you know, that we say hi, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:34 or to tell your Amish folks, you know, we say hi, you know, we'll do you as well. Last question. How do you say watch out for deer and Dutch? All right. All right. This is gonna be a little bit much you guys are gonna get a kick out of it. All right Okay, wait so watch out for deer it's kind of tough because the dialects a little bit oh It's a watch for hotch watch for hotch Votch for Hatch. Yeah, Votch, which is your watch in the, you know, Votch for, which is your for, and then Hatch, which is your beer. So you know, lots of big Hatch around here.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Big hunters. Votch for Hatch. I like it. Well, Andre, see you later in Votch for Hatch. Oh yeah, toodalai, I'll see you up there in Akron. Sounds good, my man, we'll see you there. Like that I switch it to my man. Have a good one, buddy. See ya.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Oh, what a good guy. Oh my gosh, he's ripping, he's ripping and gripping, man. Good dude. Miles, we got spring just around the corner. Can you, excuse me, can you believe that spring is just around the corner? Well, is it real spring or fake spring? Well, it's first spring, first spring. And first spring is about to be sprung. I only know one way to spring into the new year miles. And
Starting point is 00:48:55 that is with a little old glass of tippy cow. Nothing says snow on a Robin's back, like a glass of the old tippy cow. My spring is sprunging right now. Yeah. Drink this Charlie. That sounds erotic. Miles, I gotta tell you thank you for sharing this glass of tippy cow with me. Speaking of sharing,
Starting point is 00:49:16 I wanna share something with our audience. It's this new t-shirt we got. Miles, can you hold it up there? There we go. It says, oh, tip a glass, not a cow. And some of our callers are gonna be wearing these sexy little pieces of fabric out to the bar. They're gonna be getting numbers
Starting point is 00:49:35 like it's nobody's business. Because you show up to a bar like that, people know that you know what you're talking about. So, and folks, you can buy one for your, yourself. If you're not a caller, you can go to, Oh, you betcha.com and you can scoop up on them shirts. That's right. So guys, as always have a good time. Cheers. Glass of glass of typical. Charlie. Hi miles. You ever been injured before or no? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You haven't folks. If
Starting point is 00:50:06 you're out there and you've been injured in any type of way, you got to give Nicolay law call or go to Nicolaylaw.com. These guys are good. Honestly, he's a true Midwest lawyer. He is. He's working on this case for me right now about an emotionally abusive podcast host. And I think I am going to clean this guy's clock in a great one because he's not going to win this one. Charlie is not exactly the best. Oh, he'll win miles. OK, yeah, you can't afford anyone better because I got the best in town.
Starting point is 00:50:36 That's probably true. One eight five five. Maybe he's a double agent. What if he's representing me as well? That'd be illegal. That's why I contacted him first. One eight five five. Nicolay. This is why I need a lawyer. I don't know the law. Know the law before your buddy knows the law.
Starting point is 00:50:52 If you guys are like me, you gotta call a lawyer and not me and you should call Nicolay law. Guys, we have Jay on the line and Charlie Jay lives full time in an RV in an RV down by the river that their Clarkson RV. We have cousin Eddie on the line. Wow. How long you been the RV J? Not quite as long as cousin Eddie.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Seven years. Oh, seven years. Eight years. And do you love it? Is there any reason to go back? Oh, there is no reason to go back. Living on the road and seeing things is definitely my kind of lifestyle. Now other people can't make it a year. We've met many people who start and they go a year and they can't.
Starting point is 00:51:42 They just can't do it. They end up going back to that's because they don't remember that home is where you park it, you know? And so, so it almost sounds like you've like taken people under your wings and try to teach them the lifestyle and they just can't hack it. Is that what, that what happens? I wouldn't quite put it that way. Cause I'm not that nice of a guy because you know, I'm not from the Midwest but I do I do help people periodically in trying to understand how to live in an RV It's not a vacation. That's the first thing that they do is they come out thinking their own vacation for a year And then they run out of money
Starting point is 00:52:21 Yeah, that's a good question. You're living full time in RV. How do you make money? I work remotely in the IT business, but I do have friends who go from contract to contract, not, not particularly a contractor, but they find contract work. Like one guy who does airplane repairs, another one drives beat trucks in the summer, just, you know, random jobs here and there. Cause I'm going to be honest, this doesn't sound like the lifestyle for me, but this sounds like a great lifestyle for Charlie. I mean, why I think you would love this. I've thought about it. I've thought about converting an old van or something like that, you know,
Starting point is 00:53:04 and taking that around. But there's nothing better than the open road. Tell us some of the coolest stuff you've seen out there. Jay, what are people missing, not living with a home on wheels? So there's lots of stuff. I've been to a small town in Louisiana, which I mean, Louisiana has lots of small towns
Starting point is 00:53:25 that I could not understand a word the people were saying. It was down by Franklin and there were, I had to get my truck tire fixed and I took it into the mechanic and the guys were saying words at me and I just stared at them like, what did you say to me? And it was awesome. It was fun being there. I've been to the UP. UP is it is so pretty up there and being able to park out in the middle of the trees of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:53:53 I mean, it's great. Now I haven't made it to the East Coast yet, but someday, someday I'll make it over there. You've been doing this seven years and haven't made to the East coast. Some guys just don't like tolls, I suppose. Why? You know. seven years and haven't made to the East coast. Some guys just don't like tolls, I suppose. Why haven't you gone out East? We've attempted. So the first time we're going to go East,
Starting point is 00:54:17 the whole COVID virus thing you get, and we're like, screw that. There's no way I'm going over where there's that many people. So we went to Montana instead. And then we've been close. We made it to Washington, Pennsylvania, where they did the Washington or George Washington marched the troops in to do the whiskey tax thing. That's as far east as we've made it.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And then we turned around and came back west. We have nothing against these colors. It's just, you haven't made it over there. And who is we, Oh, my family. So my wife is with me. And then we have a kid violent and they, uh, they're getting moved into a band. Wave. Why you're getting them into a van. What do you mean? Yeah. So, uh, at our 17 and, um, and we left her at my, uh, my sister's house and they
Starting point is 00:55:18 bought a van and they started building it out and now they're back with us, um, traveling around. She drives her van around and then it's being built out. There's a bed in there, shower, toilet, haven't quite put a sink in there yet. And then eventually we'll just push them away. Like every parent does, right? When they get to a certain age, you kick them out of an ass. That's, that's my goal. I like it. I like it. You just kind of kick them out, let them fly or let them drive. So are the kids homeschooled or not home RV school then or. It's very similar to homeschool, but yes, they they do homeschooling stuff, taking college courses right now to get into college courses.
Starting point is 00:56:00 That's the thing with homeschooling homeschool kids learn one so much faster than regular school kids and they're always way smarter. Really? Because if I'm smarter than you, Charlie, I still have to learn at the pace that you go. If you are homeschooled, you just go at the pace that you are and you can be taking college courses as a freshman in high school and you could test out a shit. So like you could take a calculus class. If you learned enough about calculus, you could just take a test and get the credit for it without having to do a whole semester. It's crazy. I didn't know this. Wow. You're starting a whole new thing here. J I it was it hard homeschooling in the RV? I mean, are you guys doing lessons as you're driving down the road?
Starting point is 00:56:46 How does that work? Now the lessons are done when the RV is parked. What do you mean? You count cows as you're going? Yeah, one, two. You could, but it's a little hard to stay focused when you're driving down the road and they're asking you calculus questions.
Starting point is 00:57:04 It's hard to answer. Though there is a little bit of a thing there that you said, Miles, I wouldn't say all homeschool kids are smarter. It's some are smarter. Sorry, let me rephrase that. They are smarter. They're smarter than they would be if they were in the regular school system. Well, I didn't know you were, are you going to homeschool your kid, Miles? I can't. I can't do it. smarter than they would be if they were in the regular school system.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Well, I didn't know you were. Are you going to homeschool your kid, Miles? I can't. I can't do it. But, you know, it's if you look at it through a data perspective, everyone should be homeschooling their kids. Wow. But I'm not I'm not going to homeschool my kids. All right. Well, you just you must not want what's best for him, Miles. I don't know. I think Anne would divorce me if I said we're going to homeschool our kids. So we'll just get in an RV and drive around and then she has no choice. Hey, honey. Yeah, I sold the house. What?
Starting point is 00:58:02 Don't don't look at me like that. I got a plan. All right. And then throw her the house. What? Don't, don't look at me like that. I got a plan. All right. And then throw her the keys. You sold our house and completely redeemed yourself. Just when I thought miles, you couldn't get any dumber. You go and do something like this and totally redeem yourself. What's the weirdest person you've ever met on the road? Oh, I haven't met some really weird ones, but I said the most weird, um, it was a guy in a different part of Louisiana. We're actually over by what's up with Louisiana over by New
Starting point is 00:58:38 Orleans. We're up just north of there. I can't remember the name of the town. We're staying on some water, uh, reserve land where we can stay for the name of the town. We're staying on some water reserve land where we could stay for free. And the people who were traveling with us had a little dog. I mean, when I say little dog, I mean like probably eight pounds at the most. It was running around and some guy in a van saw the dog running towards him, freaked out,
Starting point is 00:59:03 was screaming about how the dog was going to eat him. He gets in his van, pulls out a gun and points it at the dog. And we're all just sitting there looking at him going, what the heck is wrong with you? Why? It's a dog. It's not going to kill you. I mean, it might hurt if it bites you, but it's not going to kill you. We finally got the dog back and then he decided that he was going to leave. So he packed up his van and left for a few nights. And I don't know if he came back.
Starting point is 00:59:30 We left after, you know, after a few days. So the point, the gun at the weird thing, it was like a scare tactic because a dog sees a gun and he's like, that's a big bone. Now, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the park, you know, yeah, it was an RV park. It was not, it was on open. It was on public land. Are there RV parks have their weird things? Yeah. I was, that's one of my ex questions be in the RV community. Do you guys have a lot lizards like the truck drivers do? You got to watch out for them. So my wife listening to me and I'm going to have to say no. Wow.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Well, I think you just got yourself busted right there. What are the top three things people need to know about if they're going to have an RV? What's the top three tips you would give anyone who's thinking of living their life in an RV. An RV is not a forever home. You're going to replace it often. RVs go down in value. So expect to lose money, but it's going to be less than a mortgage on a house.
Starting point is 01:00:40 You kind of have to do the math on that. And it's not a vacation. I just made it sound like a terrible life. But once you get the into where you, you know, the expectations of living in RV, you see some great things and meet some nice people right now. I'm at a, at a D and D convergence playing thunders and dragons in an RV park. Of course you are. I mean, what else? I just wanted to write there.
Starting point is 01:01:09 You know where D&D was formed right here in Wisconsin? That's where it was invented. All right, Charlie. Would you like to play some D&D with me and Jay? Yeah, let's do it. All right, Jay, you are the Dungeon Master. We're gonna do a little mini storyline here. Let's do it. All right, Jay, you are the dungeon master. We're going to do a little mini storyline here. Let's do it. I've never played Dungeons and Dragons before. We need to pick a character first. Okay. You give me my character. No, you pick your own character.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Okay. I am the castle snowman. I am here in the winter and I guard the castle. Okay. I am the king of the castle sir Mars of cheese. Oh, okay. Let's see. Um, while you're, let's see, you're guarding the castle. So you let's see off in the distance, a white item thing flying through the sky. You're not quite sure what it is. What do you say? King, I see an RV dragging coming our way. Peasant. What did you say?
Starting point is 01:02:21 I see it. Do not call me peasant. I am the guard snowman. You call me peasant. I am the guard. Snowman, you call me peasant. I will slice your throat. I will have your hand for talking to me like that. You could not have my hand. It would be just water.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Keep it up or I'll have your pecker. Oh, I see your crown. And I now have a crown too. Take that off your head, peasant. I will not take it off my head. We have bigger fish to fry. There is an dragon RV coming our way. Halt. Who goes there? So as a dragon flies over the top of you and hears you arguing, you hear him chuckle and say,
Starting point is 01:02:59 my business is done and starts to fly away. It is a not to RV. It is not an RV dragon. It is a drone dragon. We must shoot at it. No, we can't shoot it. Get me the royal. That that that dragon are a dragon drone has good reason for flying above us. Let it be shut up. What are you in the national defense? I have your snowballs are not going far enough. Oh wait, you hit them. Actually. That was a pretty good idea. So yeah, nice work. Yeah, we should probably shoot it around. It turns around and icicles comes out of its mouth and starts pelting you. Oh, no, I don't get paid enough for this retreats retreat. I don't know if Charlie and are built for Dungeons and Dragons. We like to fill in too many details. It would take us a lifetime
Starting point is 01:04:01 to get through one storyline. That's not true miles. That's all part of the fun. You ruined it too. I was just feeling it. You, you totally, you left me white balled frosty as a blue ball. Right there it is. So you're saying that you blame the other players. Yeah, I didn't. I don't think no. Carly did. He's blaming you. I know. And also quite literally, I would have you beheaded if I was the king. You started talking to me like that. Like you're done. Yeah. I don't know if you know this, but I can get another head as soon as another kid comes playing in the yard. Just put a back on. Yeah. I can roll my own head. Dumb ass. All right. Well, Jay, this is good talking to you. Fun playing D and D with you and stay safe out there on the road.
Starting point is 01:04:56 We'll do. All right, Jay. Hey, I thought to say something here. Tell your parents I said hi. No, damn it. Watch out for deer. Wait, which one is it? I forgot. Yeah, yeah. Hang on Jay, I'll give you one more. Keep her moving out there. All right? Oh yeah, I could do that one.

Starting point is 01:05:33 Bum rush the board a little bit. Why? You didn't let the other players play. So I don't know if I want you in my D&D group anymore. Like I said, it was my first time. It could tell yeah and Also, what do you mean? I bum rush the board. I was letting you play You started melting off to the king of the castle Well, you you were talking you you think I'm gonna sit here and take it if I would have known you're talking about that
Starting point is 01:06:01 And get away with that. I would chose a better character than the king of the castle Well, the king has a crossbow. so you could just started shooting arrows at me. But you didn't did you? Because you didn't think of it. I would not be talked to that way. I'm not a peasant. I told you I was the guard.
