Transcript

[A]

Folks, welcome, welcome. Another episode of the Bellied up podcast. We're here at the American Legion Post 431 here in Three Lakes, Wisconsin. Shout out to all our veterans out there and thanks to these fellas for letting us hang out here today. Drinking some beers, taking your calls. Miles, how are you doing?

[B]

I'm doing good.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Hanging out. I like your hat.

[A]

Hey, it's a bad day to be a hot dog. I think this is great. Yeah, you guys gotta go check out Miles' where I. He gave me this hat as a gift and a blinged out chain.

[B]

Don't give it all away, Chuck. Leave some mystery. Oh, yeah, you'll find it. What's the title of the video, Jake? We tested TEEMU tools so you don't have to. I bought a bunch of tools off of teemu and I brought them to Chuck's cabin and said, hey, let's give it a. See if we can hurt ourselves.

[A]

Yeah, a couple of them we didn't quite get to test out there.

[B]

Yeah, but. So go check that out on YouTube. It's on your YouTube too. You're a collaborator.

[A]

Oh, I collaborated on that. There you go. Yeah, all the publicity, none of the revenue. That's what we like here, right?

[B]

When I do all the work, you don't get any of the money.

[A]

All the work. Come on now. I acted beautifully in that one. I'm just glad.

[B]

No, Chuck just stood over my shoulder and acted like my dad the whole time.

[A]

Well, I was a little disappointed in. Yeah, for a few different reasons. That's a deep tease. But, you know, we're not here to talk about your videos, Miles. We're.

[B]

We're here to talk about Jared. And Jared's got a fun segment for us today.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

The official definition of Midwest terms.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Midwester Dictionary.

[B]

Midwester dictionary.

[A]

I like that.

[B]

Okay, so how's it work? We're about to author the Mid Webster Dictionary. So you're gonna give us a list of words and we're gonna try and find the definition.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

The first one is ope. Oh, Expressing Surprise. Dismay. Yeah, exhaustion.

[B]

You know how they have, like, multiple different definitions? There's probably 12 of them.

[A]

There is, yeah, absolutely.

[B]

Expressing surprise, like. Oh, yeah, excuse me, is another definition of that. Oh, sorry. Oh, what the hell is going on over there?

[A]

Oh, It says. No, I think op is one of those words that can mean everything and nothing at the same time. It's kind of a grace word. You can use it as a comma.

[B]

Yeah, it's. If it was. It's A noun. It's an adjective. It's a verb. It's an adverb.

[A]

It's an exclamation point. Yeah.

[B]

It's not only just a word, it's a punctuation.

[A]

Right. It's a period, too, comma. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

That's what punctuation is.

[A]

Hashtag, you know. Oh, oh, I see. I see.

[B]

That was the definition of punctuation. What other words you got?

[A]

Next one is oofta.

[B]

Oofta.

[A]

UFTA is originates. Miles, we got same brain over here.

[B]

Yeah. I'm Marion and you're Webster here.

[A]

Hey, how's about it? Are you marrying into the family or what? We'll be here all day. See, you make a bad joke. It's a. Norwegian folks. Comes from Norway or Scandinavia. They're all the same to me. Kind of generalized.

[B]

And you just pissed off a bunch of people for generalizing them.

[A]

I know. That's like saying Canada and Wisconsin. They're all the same. Yeah, but the finger countries, Right.

[B]

Is a. Is a cousin of op, I would say.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's under the same umbrella.

[A]

Yeah. Like open Utah should not get married. They'll have weird kids, you know.

[B]

That's true.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, I mean, they're kind of the Targaryens of Midwestern words.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

But is. Is usually to express something negative.

[A]

Yeah. Or positive. Like ufta.

[B]

It's less like that, though.

[A]

It is. It's more like. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

[B]

So I think the official definition is. Why the hell would you do it like that?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You really screwed the pooch on this one.

[A]

Yeah. And screwed the pooch, actually is another phrase. We'll get to that.

[B]

We'll.

[A]

Yeah. We can't be over here doing a definition with another definition. But ufta, it's. It's sort of like. It's also a. A thing of pride that people say,

[B]

you know, I would love to hear that in a sentence. Oofta. I think that's a stretch.

[A]

Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, but, you know, we're just having fun here, Miles. We're just slinging around. What else you got, Jared? Next one is. Yeah, no. Yeah, no, that means no. That means no. Yeah. No. Yeah, that means. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

No.

[A]

Yeah, that means. Yeah. It's like a math problem. This is Midwest math here. Basically, you just take the last word you left off with, that's the answer, and you disregard the rest.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

You know, it's like you. Basically, those two cancel each other out

[B]

the Last word is in parentheses. If it was a math equation, you start there.

[A]

Yeah. And. And that as soon as you put that in parentheses, the other turns to 0y. Actually, that's not good because then you would multiply those technically. Right?

[B]

Yeah, yeah, that's.

[A]

Well, it's kind of a.

[B]

It's more. It's more so like baseball hand signals, you know, you gotta wait for the indicator and the indicator is the last word. Yeah, you forget everything else before that.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

You know, it's like. What was that?

[A]

It was slide. Because you slid your. On your forearms.

[B]

Yeah, slide.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yep, it was slide. Chuck, they. That's what they need to signal to the players in baseball.

[A]

Yeah, slide. I mean, don't. Don't risk it all, you know, it's. I know you can't run that fast. So the only hope here is if you slide.

[B]

You didn't play much baseball, did you, Chuck?

[A]

Last baseball game I played, I was. I was in six. I was actually pretty good baseball, believe it or not. But we didn't get to the point of doing signs. I kind of hung up the spikes in about seven. Okay.

[B]

Yeah, that's.

[A]

Yeah, I got, I got beaned a few too many times. And after I got beaned, I said, oofta.

[B]

Oh, you got me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh God. Geez Louise. That one hurt.

[A]

Sure. There you go. Look at you. Fluent in the language. Miles. Jared. Where else we going with this? Next one is. Cripes. Cripes is when you're trying to swear on Sunday.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

You know, my grandpa Bobby had this great thing where we were out there muskie fishing and it was Lent and he was trying to watch his language a little bit, you know, and actually wasn't lent, but he was still trying to watch. His language is a great word for

[B]

people who gave up swearing for Lent.

[A]

Uh huh. And. But he got so excited when that muskie came in, like he. It all went out the window. He was trying to say cripes almighty, but he ended up saying Christ all Friday. He changed up the wrong word, you know, and. But cripes, that's what it is right there.

[B]

Cripes is the Midwest swear word.

[A]

Yeah. You know, and you get some respect for that too, you know, doesn't come across as soft. It comes across as restraint and also respect. Respect.

[B]

Because you're usually probably doing this around your mom.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Respect your mother.

[A]

Yep, absolutely. And that's very important in the Midwest. We do respect our moms here. Next one is, I suppose.

[B]

I suppose, usually accompanied. Accompanied with a whelp.

[A]

Yep, Usually accompanied Four hours into a

[B]

Midwest goodbye, I suppose, means that I. It is the official start of the Midwest goodbye. And it also is followed up by about three hours of more small talk and more beers.

[A]

Mm. And it is a contraction. There is a parenthesis between I and suppose. And you can shorten it and just

[B]

say suppose a parentheses or. Or apostrophe.

[A]

Apostrophe. Yeah, half a. Half a parenthesis. It should just be theses, you know, because para.

[B]

It's a contraction with an apostrophe after the eye.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Suppose. Yeah, we can get that right up on screen. So people. So Jared has more to do on this.

[B]

It's also a great way to.

[A]

It's.

[B]

It can also be used as a great way to respond to someone that you don't really know what to say.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

You know, a lot of people. A lot of people will go. If Charlie tells me a story and I don't really know what to say. That's crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But if you did tell me a story and I was.

[A]

So I was driving down the road, right. You know, I saw Terry. He pulls out in front of me and so I slow up because he's slow and go. You know, he's probably on his phone or something. And Terry, his neighbor Jane, actually, she passed last year and.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. So that's no good, you know, I suppose. Yeah, something like that. Perfect. That was well done.

[B]

Great way to add to the conversation without saying anything.

[A]

Next one is potluck. Potluck. Potluck.

[B]

Potluck is an event.

[A]

It's an event, but it also could

[B]

be a mentality as well.

[A]

Life is a potluck. What did you bring?

[B]

Yeah, yeah. That's a more philosophical definition.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But in a real sense, Chuck, what's the definition of a potluck?

[A]

Potluck is a gathering of people and food, usually after a church festivity or before a picnic.

[B]

Before. Yeah, there's a lot of food and fellowship going on.

[A]

There is. Yeah, there's a lot of.

[B]

Oh, what'd you. Sometimes it's called the food and fellowship potluck.

[A]

Is it really? I've never been to an official food

[B]

and fellowship potluck, but I just imagine that's what it is.

[A]

Yeah. Often done in parks, at homes, in church basements, at bars. I. I bet you. I. I bet you that to be

[B]

honest, if you're in a small town, there are no other places. So it literally can take place in any.

[A]

Anywhere. 100% popular items to bring could Happen

[B]

outside in your house, at a church or at a bar. That's. You nailed all of the places you

[A]

can be the local community center. Also, if you're feeling ambitiously attached to the church.

[B]

Yes. Or the bar.

[A]

Yes. Or it is the bar. And.

[B]

And it's also attached to the city hall.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Which is also attached to the police.

[A]

Either way, wood paneling is involved in some capacity.

[C]

And.

[B]

And we're talking the number one item in a potluck is just crock pots.

[A]

Crock pots don't matter what you put in the crock pot. It. It just matters that you put it in a crock pot or in a mold of some sort. Yeah.

[B]

Even if you're trying to keep something cold, Put it in a crock pot. It's great cooling device too. Yeah.

[A]

Jello salads are preferred. Potato salads. Really? Any salads that do not involve lettuce.

[B]

Maybe some little. Little smokies, Some little weenies.

[A]

Oh, yeah, you like those little smokies.

[B]

Don't like a little weenie.

[A]

Yeah. With a nice little toothpick in them. So that way you got. You hold on to that toothpick, though. Don't get rid of that. Next one is jeet. Jeet. It's short for did you eat Next one, last one.

[C]

You betcha.

[A]

Oh, you betcha. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah. It's also. It's. It's very. It's. I would like to say that it's a way to almost end a conversation. It's a form of affirmation as well. You know, like if Chuck says something I agree with, which is, I am

[A]

the best podcast host you've ever been.

[B]

Oh, yeah, you betcha.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Huh.

[B]

You know, and that was me acting.

[A]

Right.

[B]

That was. I was doing a bit there. So now it's basically. If we're doing real life and you were to say something that I actually agree with.

[A]

You have beautiful eyes.

[B]

You betcha.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

See, it's supportive. It's like the bra of words. You know, it just holds you right there.

[B]

And it's also known in pop culture. The movie Fargo. Notable line she says, oh, yeah, you betcha. And she uses in a moment of realization.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Also can be used that way.

[A]

Yeah. A lot of these words I'm finding have just multi. They're the Swiss army knives of words.

[B]

Very blankets terms.

[A]

Yeah. Go across anything you can say, and it's really not the words, but it's the tone you use that. That says it all. Yeah. So wonderful. Well, there you go.

[B]

My alternate definition Is the. For you betcha is also the best Midwest comedy channel on the Internet.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Actually, in the midwester dictionary.

[A]

That's amazing. You know, many bars I go into where people say, hey, it's you betcha guy. I go, sure is.

[B]

Do you know how many bars I go into? And you go, hey, you're that guy from Wisconsin.

[A]

So people just think we're the same person.

[B]

We are the same person somehow.

[A]

That's wild. That's wild because we. We have different color eyes. I have a much thicker beard.

[B]

You know, same size penis, though.

[A]

You're. You are obsessed with this.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[A]

This is like the fourth episode that. How many. How many dick jokes does this guy need to. Miles, my mom might listen to this.

[B]

How many jerk off jokes have you made since we got to your cabin?

[A]

I don't make those on the podcast, Miles. God, I'm trying to keep this, you know, child friendly here. Yeah, that's not true.

[B]

But you could tell Jared to cut it out. It's fine.

[A]

Cut it out. Yeah. Can you circumcise this intro here, Jared? I can.

[C]

Yeah, I'll do that. All right.

[A]

Thank you. I'll get right on the. Well, this is. I'm excited today, Miles. I'm, I'm. You know, I know we're kind of just kicking the rust off this podcast right now. We've had a long few days here. A lot of fun few days.

[B]

I am feeling a new resurgence, though. I'm feeling really good today. I got a good night of sleep.

[A]

Yeah, I noticed that. Gotta suckle it, gotta suckle it. That happens once every trip. Yeah, I always. I always just get a little too aggressive putting my beer down and it just flows up there and foams up. That's okay. That's all right. It's symbolic for a previous conversation.

[B]

She would have just let it overflow.

[A]

No, I've done that before. And then you. You ruined. Oh, hey, speaking of, look, check out these coasters that they got here. These are so. Oh, my gosh, these are so well done. Does that say make it a barrens? And then on the other side says, still nursing this one. These are so fun.

[B]

When am I gonna get a cut of this?

[A]

Not a sponsor, by the way, folks. Just organically pops up into place here. How about that Barron's old fashioned Brandy sold wherever you get your brandy sold

[B]

wherever you can buy it.

[A]

Yeah. Well, Miles, I'm ready buckled in here, bucko. So I suppose.

[B]

Well, I suppose we better get doing to some callers here, Chuck. We're now fully summer road trip season and everyone's packing up and hitting the road at the same time. You've got long drives, unfamiliar roads, GPS rerouting you every five dang minutes and people making L LA people making last second lane changes, trying not to miss their exit. Someone hesitates, someone overcorrects, boom, bang, my leg. Now it's a crash because nobody's on the same page. You hate that.

[A]

Hate it when that happens. Balance.

[B]

I do hate a last second lane change.

[A]

I can't.

[B]

And every time I have to do it, I think about it for at least 15 minutes after about how I, how that guy's probably mad at me

[A]

and did you give him the wave? Oh yeah, you gave him the nice wave.

[B]

Sorry.

[A]

Yeah, absolutely.

[B]

And then Chuck, not only you got all that, you add in the construction detours. People just trying to get where they're going and things can go sideways fast.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

If a summer road trip turns into an accident or injury, you gotta call who, Chuck?

[A]

Well, as you're sitting there in the ditch with that broken leg, you just look up toward the sky and there you see a billboard and it says hold my beer. Nicolay law.com. 1855, ladies and gentlemen. Nicolay. Give him a call. Miles, do you have an uncle with a pontoon?

[B]

I got a father with a pontoon.

[A]

Even better kind of pontoon.

[B]

It's, it's more of a pontoon speedboat hybrid deck boat. Oh, fancy pants 2004 maybe.

[A]

Nice, dude. Well, when you're ripping and roaring in that thing, the best thing that you can bring aside for a cold beverage is these shady rays. Because they would take all the sun, all the glare and it'll just throw it elsewhere. Okay, you like what I did there? And you can see all the stumps and the rocks and everything in the water because these things are polarized.

[B]

And plus you get, you pin that thing down and you're going pretty quick. Yeah, it helps keep the wind out of your eyes. Any, any potential bugs that are getting in there.

[A]

Sure. There will be no wind tears with these things folks. So fears not get yourself some shady rays this summer and we gotta.

[B]

Plus you go driving by wearing these bad boys. The coolest guy on the lake, man,

[A]

Anne's gonna have to watch out. You, you're gonna get the Gertrudes out there going, is that Miles and those shady rays? Let me, you know, give him a little wave over to my doc. Yeah. And you're just gonna be have to say I don't have any rope, you know, and, and yeah, but that's the danger with these shady rays. They. They're an attractant. So anyways.

[B]

But so if you guys are looking for some sunglasses for the boat, the pontoon this summer, you got to go to Shadyrays. Do use code bellied up. You get 40 off two or more polarized glasses.

[A]

Isn't that.

[B]

You get. You can get glasses for the whole family.

[A]

The whole fam. You can get them and heck of a deal. And they feel like they're 200 glasses, but they're not. They're great price. Check them out, ladies and gents. Go to shadyrays.com.

[B]

hi, Steve. You got Miles and Charlie from the Bellied up podcast. How you doing, buddy?

[A]

Good, Steve Ann. How you doing, my guy? You ever go by Stephen or do you just stick with the.

[C]

I don't care, as long as it's not Stevie. That's like a family thing and that's like what you call a little kid.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Steve, not Stevie.

[A]

All right, all right.

[B]

Well, I will call you Steve, not Stevie from now on.

[A]

Ground rules set there, Steve. So belly on up to this bar, my guy.

[B]

Yeah, we hear that you sell cat food, which I'm gonna go out and say that you're the first person I ever met that sells cat.

[C]

Yeah, we work over at Jefferson, Wisconsin, not too far from Charlie. We do a Nestle Purina. So whenever you drive through, you have this really bad smell.

[A]

That does.

[B]

Yeah. There's a dog food plant by. In.

[C]

Smells like death.

[B]

Yeah. In Perm, Minnesota, I think. And it doesn't smell good, I could tell you that much.

[C]

Nope. Because we have a silo and it fills up with all the meat that we don't use. And then at the end of our 12 day run, they pump it out so all that stuff sits in there and then it just. There you go.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

That's what you smell.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

And what. Where does. What do they pump it out to?

[C]

Just the truck.

[B]

And where does it go after that?

[C]

No idea.

[A]

You don't know? Huh.

[B]

The mystery means an operator.

[A]

They go make hot dogs with it.

[C]

Making a hot dog. We're gonna get the wiener mobile in our building next month.

[A]

No kidding.

[B]

It's gonna be Chuck's dude driving it. Yeah.

[A]

My sister used to be a wiener mobile operator.

[B]

She's retired now.

[A]

She's retired. She's hung up the weenie. But, you know, she. She loved that job. I've been in a weenie mobile, so. Have you ever been in one there, Steve?

[C]

Nope.

[B]

A big day for you, Steve.

[A]

I'm going to say this, and I'm sorry, but it is really tempting to do a Stevie weenie thing. I just, I just want to put that out there so, you know, it's on my dome, but I'm not going to say it.

[B]

Stevie and the weenie.

[A]

Stevie and the weenie. Do you think you'd allow people to call you Stevie if you were in the weenie just one time?

[C]

Maybe I can load slide depending on the situation.

[B]

Anyways, so what's it like to work in a cat food plant?

[C]

It sucks.

[A]

Does it? Yeah. So you're not the owner of the cat food plant.

[B]

If it sucks, how bad does it suck? We're looking for class action lawsuits and so.

[C]

Yeah. Well, as someone who probably has worked in a factory, do you feel like sometimes they hire like, let's say they're a special needs guy, but like they say they can do the job, you know, they can. There's like a language barrier. It's like they're definitely getting a tax write off or having idiots like that that work here.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

No. No ifs and or buts.

[A]

Yeah. Steve, Stevie, you, how do you really feel?

[B]

It sounds like you're a great co worker.

[C]

Well, I'm a delight. And so I have this guy, he broke a pre breaker yesterday. Second time in two years.

[A]

Oh, no.

[C]

Because some things aren't supposed to go in there and. Well, they do. We do meat blocks. So it goes up a conveyor belt goes in a pre breaker. Throw too much, don't throw the right amount, you're gonna snap a bolt, you're gonna crack it in half. Cost a bunch of money. Second time in two years.

[A]

There's no shear system on that situation.

[C]

It just has a cut off if something breaks shuts off.

[A]

Ah, well, you just have a screw,

[C]

breaks it all up.

[A]

Yeah. And have you had a conversation with him about this before?

[C]

Yeah, he just does the. At least from Nicaragua does the whole. How do you know it was me?

[B]

That is true. Do you know that it was?

[A]

Yeah. Steve, do you have hard evidence that he threw that meat on there?

[C]

Well, he came in early for overtime and then the other time he did before that he put a meat poker up there and metal don't go in metal.

[A]

Why'd he put the meat poker there?

[C]

Because he's incompetent.

[A]

Okay. Do you know for a fact he's the one putting the meat poker there? Do you see it?

[C]

Yeah, he had a talking. He had a talking.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And when sometimes blocks get sucked, we gotta stab our pallets. And so if the forks get stuck, you gotta have one operator kind of push the blocks off. The guy backs up. This guy thought, I'm gonna try it different. And he drove forward and slammed the mast in my hand and he kind of crushed it.

[A]

Oh, he crushed your hand?

[C]

Well, he got a good back part of it right on the bone.

[A]

Are you. Did you get injured pretty good?

[C]

Nope. But all I could do is recreate, like an Ace Ventura when he's fighting the tribe and they throw the arrows at his legs. Can you just look at your hand? Because you can't believe what you just witnessed.

[B]

Yeah, that's a great visual. Yeah.

[C]

Because you can't believe someone can do that.

[B]

Yeah. But you didn't get injured because if

[A]

you did, we know a guy you can call.

[C]

Oh, I know I ain't gonna get injured because I ain't gonna have the little. Safety first, you're fired. So just walk it off.

[B]

Okay. Well, what. But you could have.

[A]

Could have gotten that workers comp. You know, maybe we know a guy could have helped you do it, but. Yeah, Nicolay. But I mean, it's. Miles was just talking into his beer. That's how we're doing today. He's drinking a bush white. Yeah.

[C]

Have you tried the new Lineys?

[A]

Which one?

[C]

Orange Shandy.

[A]

Orange Shandy. I haven't yet. Is it good?

[C]

It's good. It doesn't have the same love that it used to because it's no more in Chippewa Falls, so kind of have a disdain to it a little bit.

[A]

Well, that's a shame that they couldn't keep that. I know they tried. I know.

[C]

I know they tried to buy it back.

[A]

Yeah. Which is kind of crazy that they couldn't, but.

[C]

Yeah. Could you still make money?

[A]

Right? Yeah. I don't quite get that. I don't get it. But that's neither here nor there. I suppose what we're trying to do here, Steve, is figure out, you know, what can we do to make you happier at your job because you're spending a lot of time.

[B]

I actually had an idea.

[A]

Oh, did you?

[B]

It sounds like the real problem that you have is just working with other people. So why don't you break out on your own and start making your own cat food?

[C]

Sounds like a lot of work and money.

[A]

Okay, so you're not really trying to do that much work.

[C]

I want to have a job where, like, I can be left alone, make a good living and not talk to a single person. Kind of like how you'd probably be like in the forest, we'd be a park ranger and maybe you'd find a couple hiking. Other than that, you just sit up in your tree or whatever you do, just look at nature.

[B]

You need to be a trapper is

[A]

what you need to be trapping.

[C]

I suck at trapping. I actually got a cat that got out. Only caught her raccoon.

[A]

Wow. Okay. Well, we find that was a good suggestion, Miles, but we found out that

[B]

you just get to be in the woods by yourself all day.

[A]

Park ranger, though. Have you looked at any. Have you applied for any park ranger positions at a state park?

[C]

Definitely have. Not only one. Around us is Devil's Lake also.

[B]

Tough time to be applying for national forest job jobs. I don't know if they're exactly hiring at the current moment.

[A]

Yeah, you're kind of gonna run up to a wall there. Yeah, I think, but. Okay. What are some other jobs that could involve nature solitude?

[C]

Well, it sounds kind of opposite, but I want to be in sports coaching because I'd love to be a football coach.

[B]

Okay, well, I want to tell you that there's a lot of people involved with that.

[C]

Well, I know, but you can still yell at them if they mess up.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

You gotta get a catch 22. You can kind of be like the foreman. You can yell at them when they screw up.

[B]

That's true. Yeah. Because that's what good football coaching is. Just yelling at kids, making them run, and not giving them water.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If you watch water, if you watch any football movie from the 90s, that's what you learn.

[C]

Like program.

[B]

Yeah, just more yelling, less water, and make them run.

[A]

And Al Pacino should be involved in some way.

[C]

Yeah, I suppose. He did a good job.

[A]

Any given Sunday. That was the reference right there. Miles. You seen it?

[B]

No.

[A]

Okay, well, you would have laughed if you saw it.

[B]

I know I should see it.

[A]

Yeah, that's all right.

[B]

All right. Well, here we go. All right, so Charlie and I are on your football team.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We're going to do a few different moments here. This is practice number one. Me and Chuck are. Are sitting around on our helmets right now waiting for you to address the team for the first time. Let's hear it. I'm already started.

[A]

I know. Good Lord.

[B]

Oh, here comes a new coach.

[A]

What's his name?

[B]

I think his name is Stevie.

[A]

Stevie? Yeah. Really?

[B]

Sounds kind of like a kid name.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Weird, odd.

[A]

Let's see what he says.

[B]

See if we even respect his authority with a name like Stevie.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, here he is.

[C]

Here.

[B]

He's going to address the Team for the first time here in fall camp.

[A]

Hey, Coach Stevie.

[C]

Hey. How's it going, losers? I see we're not doing too good right now. See a lot of crybabies.

[A]

Crybabies?

[C]

Sipping on your water with Pinky in the air and stuff. What the hell's going on?

[A]

We were just saying we were a little sore from.

[B]

From walking from the locker room to here.

[A]

Yeah, I almost pulled the calf muscle.

[C]

Oh, well, a good man. One side now. You just pulled landscaping duty.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Your back's gonna hurt.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Wow. All right. That's kind of mean, Coach.

[C]

I want winners. I want crybabies.

[A]

I'm a winner.

[C]

Let's deal with crybabies. I go home and talk to my kids.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Wow, he's really mean.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Geez, if he's not what I expect at all from Coach Stevie, how is

[A]

he gonna make us if, like, real, actual football players if he's raising a bunch of crybabies?

[B]

That's true.

[A]

I can't even do it at home.

[B]

God, he's. I don't know. He's just. He. He's just. He's being a little. He's kind of being mean.

[A]

Are you crying?

[B]

No, I'm not crying.

[A]

It looks like you're crying. There's moisture coming out of your eyes.

[B]

My mom told me that we were supposed to have fun today.

[A]

Coach Stevie, you made Miles cry.

[C]

Oh, well, I'm sorry. Maybe if you caught the ball, you'd actually have tears of happiness, not sadness.

[B]

Coach, I'm the center. Why am I catching the ball?

[C]

Well, you could be not dropping it. Poor. Snap. Snap. Bad snap off. Snap.

[A]

He's actually.

[D]

No matter.

[A]

He's right about that.

[B]

I mean, Coach, do you know what it's like every play having another guy stick his hands in your ass? It's a lot. Okay. I don't want to be center anymore.

[A]

What did he say? What did he say? What'd you say?

[C]

Coach, I've never been to jail before. I know a thing or two about that. I need nothing special. Just be comfortable with it.

[B]

It. I'm 14 years old.

[A]

Have you been to jail, Coach? Coach, moving on. No, Coach, we gotta know. I think we're dealing with a felon.

[B]

Oh, God, look, he's got that thing on his ankle. What is that?

[A]

He's got a bracelet.

[B]

Yeah. Is that one of those things that counts your steps?

[C]

Yeah, it beeps as soon as I go a little too far.

[B]

Does he know my uncle has one of those? And he's actually not even allowed next to schools how did you get in here?

[C]

I am not that type of uncle.

[B]

All right. Well, what are we gonna do today, Coach?

[C]

Well, you are probably just gonna sit here because you're not doing too good.

[A]

I'm thirsty.

[C]

Harley. He's pretty awesome right now.

[A]

Thanks, Coach.

[C]

He's holding the band together.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. I'm holding the Bandit. Wait.

[B]

You're such a sucker.

[A]

Up. You're crying. Like, a little. Hey, Coach, can I have some water?

[C]

Sure. You're the star of this show right now.

[A]

Yeah. Thank you.

[C]

Water? You want? You're not crying?

[A]

I'm your favorite quarterback, Coach. Do you hear that, Miles?

[B]

Wait, so you're the one who's been sticking your hands in my ass?

[A]

Yeah. You didn't know that? You should turn around sometimes.

[B]

God.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Well, so what are we doing today, Coach?

[C]

Well, we're gonna run a few plays, hope for the best.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

What type of.

[C]

Our best ain't that good?

[B]

What type of offense are we running, Coach?

[C]

I love a good play action with the quarterback. Breeds the area, see what he likes.

[A]

I like reading areas. What's a play action, Coach?

[B]

He's been reading my area way too much. It's starting to concern me.

[C]

I think that's why he starts putting the visor on. So he can't watch his eyes anymore.

[A]

How'd you know I had a visor, Coach?

[C]

Pretty obvious on your helmet.

[B]

This is the first practice.

[A]

Oh, this visor right here, I see. I thought you meant the visor in my locker. Well, what.

[B]

All right, so we're going to do play action all day, Coach.

[C]

Play action. Run. Let's do a little bit of. See how far that noodle can throw a ball needle.

[B]

Noodle.

[A]

Noodle.

[C]

Noodle of an arm. Strong. It's soft. I make the distance.

[A]

I can. I can do curls of 20 pounds per hand.

[C]

I don't know if that's that good, because I've seen this one guy named Joey. He had a herd. You're doing 15s on the floor.

[A]

He did a hernia. Doing 15s on the floor.

[C]

He got a hernia.

[A]

Joey Tribbiani, what's a hernia?

[C]

Lift some more. You'll find out.

[B]

Coach, we're 14. We don't know these big adult words.

[A]

I don't think we're supposed to be lifting that much. They said stunts your growth.

[C]

That's coffee. You're good.

[A]

Okay. All right.

[B]

Well, let's go do some play action.

[A]

Oh, play action. All right, let's play with the action.

[B]

Now, Coach, I do have one concern. Coach Stevie if we only do play action, won't they just know that we're never running the ball and thus negating the advantage of the play action?

[C]

Well, because you guys are so young, you're better off doing play action so you can read the plays, read the players in the backfield, read the players on defense, see where they're going to go. That way you have the option to throw it or run it.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[C]

That the better, you understand.

[B]

Oh, so you want to do an RPO situation?

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Read, run, pass option.

[A]

Oh, run pass option. What does negating mean? Also? You said that before. I'm not.

[B]

I said that?

[A]

You said negating.

[B]

What? What did I say? What did I say?

[A]

Never mind. All right, let's do the pro.

[C]

All right. You guys ready?

[A]

Yep. Down, set. Hang on.

[D]

Hold on.

[A]

All right, all right. Okay.

[B]

54 is the mic.

[A]

I can't.

[B]

54 is the mic.

[A]

Thank you. All right, all right, all right. Got it. Down, set. What's wrong, Coach?

[B]

He moved. I'm gonna have a bruise.

[A]

You got a false start.

[B]

I'm gonna have a bruised taste.

[C]

Not looking too good so far.

[A]

Well, he's got a soft tank, Coach. I can't help it. I was doing my job. I was trying to do the pro for the negate.

[B]

Everyone in the bar right now. Charlie, like, what the hell did we.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. We had an audience. Sorry, guys.

[B]

Sorry about that.

[A]

This show isn't as weird as what you just saw. We're role playing.

[B]

That was actually the weirdest thing we've ever done live on this podcast.

[A]

That's half true.

[B]

Not in life, but live.

[A]

I'm sorry he said taint. I didn't. I wouldn't have approved that. That if he said it. Oh, man.

[B]

That's where you draw a line. You're not just giving me old slap to the taint.

[A]

Well, I. Miles, stop saying taint. We are in mixed company here, okay? Good Lord. Geez Louise. We'll buy them all a drink. They're all. Their next drink. We'll. We'll get that for them. They have Baron's Old Fashioned Brandy here, by the way, if you guys are interested in that. Not pressuring you or anything, and not a sponsor, ladies and gentlemen, but yeah. So anyways, Steve, I think you did a pretty good job as a coach. I'm going to be honest. You really. You really put some emphasis and some. And you were nice to me as a quarterback. You picked your favorite right away.

[B]

That's always huge.

[A]

And you emotionally abused Miles, and you're a felon. And so I think you did good.

[C]

Yeah. Some of the best coaches are. Are having problems right now. Look at Mike Grable.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Pretty big on that one right now.

[B]

Bill Belichick.

[C]

Yep. Biggest cheater we know.

[B]

Yeah. What other coach Harbaugh got in trouble?

[A]

Sean Payton.

[B]

Sean Payton got in trouble. Pete Carroll got in trouble.

[A]

What Pete Carroll get in trouble for?

[B]

That was when he was at usc.

[A]

What was he doing?

[B]

Same pretty much just paying Reggie Bush

[A]

and that liner and all that.

[C]

He paid. Which is kind of ironic when you think about that, because not everybody gets paid to play.

[B]

Correct. And that's why Red Reggie Bush wants his Heisman back. Did he get it back? I think he might have got it back anyways.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, yeah, I think you could go the football coach route. That wasn't. Oh, that was all. Not too bad.

[C]

You know, my son plays football, and I don't like watching his coaches because they're a bunch of dads that I think they just want to say they play, but they don't know shit because they still use the high school play. If you go on the high school prep for Wisconsin, Ford Atkinson is like, the top nine worst school to play football for.

[A]

The top.

[C]

They're up there.

[A]

Nine worst.

[C]

Yeah. My son looks at it all the time because he'll know who he wants to play for. And they have the same playbook for the middle schoolers as they do for the high schoolers and the elementary schoolers, and they still can't win.

[A]

Well, they have the same playbook. I mean, everyone. They do everyone. Do people copy the playbooks and pass them around? Like, is there any underground of playbook sharing in the high school and grade school?

[C]

Well, I don't think they'd want to pass around our playbook.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Why?

[C]

It's a lot of triple reverse.

[B]

I was just gonna say it's only play action.

[C]

Yeah. It's just a lot of stuff that they think the kids have cannons and kids, I'm gonna say they're stupid, but they know run to the outside. That's it. So do the opposite.

[A]

I'm noticing a pattern with you here, Steve. I feel like in every situation you're in, everyone else is doing it wrong.

[C]

That's because at home, I'm always doing it wrong. So at least one time, I can do it right.

[A]

We got to the deeper issue that

[B]

didn't take much digging at all.

[A]

So why is it at home you're always doing it wrong?

[C]

I'm a man.

[A]

Because you're a man.

[C]

And to be faced, we find the laziest way to do it right. So it's less work that we have to do, but we're still gonna get it done.

[A]

That's true. Is that what you say to your wife?

[C]

I don't say anything.

[A]

You don't say anything.

[C]

You just do the yes, dear.

[A]

You just hold it all in and then take it out on your co workers and two guys doing a podcast in a bar.

[C]

That's right.

[B]

I guess I like what is. Can you give me just a look into a day in the life of you at home? What?

[C]

I got six dogs.

[A]

Six dogs, wow.

[C]

So it's a lot then. You got the same as cats.

[A]

You have six dogs and six cats, Steve?

[C]

Yeah, we got two guinea pigs trying to get rid of them. If you want them, they're free. They come with flowers.

[B]

Talking the other day, how you go for you having a guinea pig?

[A]

I was thinking about doing the guinea pig situation.

[B]

Your girlfriend, careless cat. You could bring home a guinea guinea pig.

[A]

Oh, that would be such. She'd love it, though. I don't.

[C]

The guinea pigs are fun. They're smart. They know when it's feeding time.

[A]

Well, why do you want to get rid of them then?

[C]

I'm the only one who takes care of them and I don't have time do.

[A]

Well, did you get the guinea pigs or did you?

[C]

They were a gift for the wife, and then she's terrified of them because she used to have guinea pigs, but these ones are frightening, I guess, so she doesn't want anything to do with them. So. Happy birthday. And so now I gotta get rid of these things. My oldest has two bunnies in his room.

[A]

You live in a zoo, Steve?

[C]

No, I live in a condo.

[A]

You live in a condo with six dogs, six cats, bunnies, and two guinea pigs? Yep.

[C]

And we're on the end of our street, so nobody's gonna know because it's private.

[A]

Steve, how does your. How does your house smell?

[C]

Well, it gets to the point where I might do my litter box every day, but I don't. So you change it a lot. And a lot of Febreze in this thing called Solumo, a melaleuca cleaner and makes everything smell like pine salt. It's like a blessing. It's a natural cleaner. Buy it online, animal safe, animal everything. Put it in like your shampooer. Everything really helps for like a day or two. And it just goes back to the same thing. You don't stay on top of it.

[B]

Are you. Are you. Were you paid by Them to say that on this podcast. That sounded like an ad read.

[C]

Oh, no, it's a very good cleaning product. They do more than that. They have like, natural food. They got deodorant, shampoo.

[A]

I feel like I'm in the right now. Why don't you go work for them, Steve?

[C]

I don't know where they are. Yeah, and I'm hoping for that packer job to finally open up for me. Whenever I keep applying for it,

[A]

Steve, I wanna.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, what is your wife getting on you about? What is she telling you you're doing wrong?

[C]

Well, I have pretty bad dyslexia, so, like I can't remember half the shit I get told. Well, if I don't do it right away, I will never do it. It's kind of like the yard. I won't mow it. I know. I have to. Then you look at the clouds, a little cloudy tomorrow and it actually rains and you're really. So then you gotta do it again. And then now it's still raining because it's April now your grass is up to your knees and it's gonna be a while. Stuff like that. I procrastinate a lot. It's not like mean to. I just do.

[A]

Happens. It happens. Did you want to get these six dogs? Dude, I'm still not over the fact that you have 15 animals living in your house.

[C]

That's just in the house. We board animals too.

[A]

You board animals?

[C]

Yeah, my wife has horses and we got too many donkeys.

[B]

When you live in a condo.

[C]

Yeah, I know.

[B]

We're living the dream is this condo in a shelter belt in the middle of nowhere. How many neighbors you got got?

[C]

We just got one on the side of us, but we live in like a kind of condominium area where they're side by side and we're the last house so nobody comes over. Our landlord doesn't even live anywhere around us. They don't visit. We're fine.

[A]

Fine until.

[C]

Until this dead tree falls in our house and then we got to get them out of here.

[A]

I know. I was working at a cat food place. Now that makes a lot.

[C]

We get. We get a discount on cat food.

[D]

Food.

[A]

Yeah. I bet you get the five finger discount on that cat food.

[C]

Oh, no, they frown upon that. We've had people actually steal off the line and put it in their car. Idiots.

[B]

Also, I love how they don't. They. They don't say that's a no go. They just frown upon it.

[A]

It's frowned upon to steal the cat food.

[B]

You Definitely can do it. It's just frowned upon.

[A]

Do you ever take the leftovers home with you, though?

[C]

We don't really get leftovers.

[A]

Okay. All right, all right. What about that big silo filled with meat? That's gonna go bad?

[C]

Well, that's things. A death trap. So that's where I work, kind of in that area. So we have like our line conveyors and stuff because we're considered the lighthouse of Karina. So we're like the best running Nestle food plant of all time over in Nelson, Wisconsin.

[A]

Not to break or anything.

[B]

They want to brag. No, they won that award actually.

[C]

Yeah, we won. Done it. We were actually on the news last year in the summer. Yeah, if you look us up. Because we just expanded. And so last year in the summertime, we were actually on ABC or cbs, some like that. And they all came down and they interviewed everybody that was a part of it. So it was all televised and everything.

[A]

Did you get on the news?

[B]

How did your interview go?

[C]

Oh, I didn't do it.

[A]

They didn't put you on?

[C]

Oh, no, no. Yeah. Show up for that. I didn't show up for it.

[A]

Oh, okay. That would have been extra hours.

[C]

Yeah, I worked 12 days in a row. Hours a day. I don't need to be there any longer than I need to be.

[A]

You're doing a 12 by 12.

[C]

Yeah. So our runs are Sunday to Saturday and we got every other week weekend off. So you do Sunday, then you go into your 12 day run, then you have off, then you go back and do it again. Then I do voluntary overtime. So I do 72 hours a week. Because that's good money.

[B]

That is good money. And you got a lot of horses to feed.

[A]

Feed.

[C]

Yes, I do.

[A]

Wow. How many kids again?

[C]

My wife's got three and I got one.

[A]

Okay, so four kids. Four. Six dogs, six cats, two bunnies, two guinea pigs, two horses and a mule.

[C]

Nope, just two horses, two minis. GoFundMe for my animals. I'm all for it. Yeah.

[A]

What would you say your animal bill runs you a month? There's Steve.

[C]

I'd say roughly, depending on what they need. We got a horse vet coming up that's I think 13 or 1400 just to do their shots and their dental work.

[B]

Go fund me is usually for situations that you don't choose to be in.

[C]

Well, it's not like anybody would really choose to be in that. It's just more of they love their spouse and it's what makes them happy. So you just.

[B]

That's actually Kind of funny. It's a. Like a gofundme, but for, like, husbands, you know, to fund the stuff that their wife wants to do.

[C]

Crowdfund them. All the guys get together, they get like it only. But you gotta ask them, hey, I want to buy this. Can I use it? They all get together. They say, that's. That's. No, that's stupid. Next.

[A]

So you.

[C]

I want a beer. Fridge.

[A]

Your wife wanted all these animals. You didn't. You didn't. And you just said yes to all of them?

[C]

Not at first, because she. Originally, when I first met her, I went through a divorce. She already had these cats. Cool. Then we had a dog. Next thing you know, hey, this dog needs a friend. Okay, cool. Then we see this once you Maine society. Well, that one looks depressed. We gotta go get that one. Okay, fine. Next thing you know, they multiply. And you don't realize it until they're all waiting for their dinner and you got a bunch of bowls lined up on the floor and they're all barking and looking at you.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, you explained exactly how you get six dogs, for sure.

[A]

Yep. That math. That math. Yeah.

[C]

Yep. Don't get a corgi if you ever want one.

[B]

I gotta.

[C]

The worst.

[B]

I got a question. Are you scared of your wife?

[C]

I think if you're not at least a little afraid of your wife, you don't have a good woman. You have to be a little afraid of her. Because if you don't fear her whatsoever, you don't know how to tow the line lying.

[A]

All right?

[B]

Because that's what marriage is all about.

[A]

It's just.

[B]

What is it about? It's about keeping score, having leverage over the other person, and knowing how far you can toe the line. That's what marriage is all about.

[A]

And generalized fear is what I'm hearing. Yeah.

[B]

And walking around on eggshells is definitely another good part of marriage.

[C]

I wouldn't say eggshells, but let's say they want to take their nap or they go to bed before you. You. How quiet are you shutting that door?

[B]

Very clear.

[C]

You got to go into the bedroom.

[B]

And how quiet is she exactly?

[C]

When she wakes up, the light turns on. Walking around, they're yelling at the animals. They're getting their clothes together and stuff. They're saying, hey, you need to get up. Help me get these kids ready for school. Then you're trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Because you went to bed at like 4am at 6:30 in the morning.

[A]

So you're working, you're working 72 hours a week. And how many hours do you think you'd have to work if you had zero animals?

[C]

I think I might still volunteer for it because I like the money. I just have more money.

[B]

What does your wife do?

[C]

She is a caregiver.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

She works for people with disabilities and they actually work at a plant and she actually helps them have a job.

[A]

That's wonderful.

[B]

Does she work for, like, a group home?

[C]

She used to work for St. Coletta's, actually, over in Jefferson, which is, like, highly recommended. And they're, like, the first one that ever had any type of mental institute that was funded by, like, Jackie Kennedy.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Okay. All right.

[B]

That's cool.

[A]

Well, yeah, that's wonderful. You tell her we say hi. And tell all your dogs we say hello to and all your cats.

[C]

I will. They're staring at me right now.

[B]

And good luck. Good luck in the fall coaching some kids.

[C]

Oh, I hope I can. And also, Charlie, if you ever come to Johnson's Creek, you gotta do a show at the Gobbler.

[A]

Oh, the Gobbler?

[C]

Yeah, it's opening up in June.

[A]

They're reopening the Gobbler, huh?

[C]

Yeah. Yep.

[B]

You didn't know about that?

[A]

Well, the Gobbler.

[B]

Gobbler reopening.

[A]

Did you know that?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's a fantastic institution. They got that whole circular. Is the floor gonna rotate still?

[C]

I have no idea. They're actually renovating the entire thing, trying to change the experience. I just know it's opening.

[A]

Gobbler is a very, very good supper club that was. That was prime back in the day. And it's. It's seen some better days, and it's about to see some better days as it goes, as it sounds. Well, I'll get down to the Gobbler. That sounds great, Steve.

[C]

And I remember the last episode you had your talk what you want to do on your birthday. And all I thought about. I went to Tennessee a couple years ago, and in the mountains in Seaverville, they have Red Jasper's beer Garden. If you don't know it, it's all local beer, all microbreweries. And they're like maybe four or five bucks a pop. And it's inside the Smoky Mountains and you can mine there. So you just take a little, like, little shift through. You go digging for gold and rocks and stuff while you're drinking your beer. And it's like a stream that's inside the Smoky Mountains. It's a beautiful place.

[A]

No kidding.

[B]

Did you find any gold?

[C]

I didn't do it. I just drove by. My family's not big on drinking, so like we just skip all that. I'm the beer drinker here.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

So yeah, it's a great place. And plus it's in the mountains. You decide you wanted to be out in the woods. What better place to be if it's not Adam's friendship and fever.

[A]

Yeah, hey, yeah. It's the second best to Adam's friendship. That's a beautiful situation you got there.

[C]

And yeah, in June, lightning bugs. For one day they all mate. So the Smoky Mountains light up for one day in June.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Mating season. Yes.

[A]

Well, you might have just inspired me to go to the Smoky Mountains.

[B]

That just sold Chuck.

[A]

Just dig him for gold. And I won't even have to do it in dark at night because I'll have all those lightning bugs just shining away.

[C]

They have a little Hobbiton in the Smoky Mountains. It's called Hobbit. I think it's called the Smoky. I don't know, I have to look it up again. I forgot. Oh, Shire or something. But yeah, it's all Hobbit based mini homes that's inside the Smoky Mountains. They all have stuff set up like Harry Potter. Houses, the Shire, all this stuff. All cool crap. All mini homes that look like you're in the middle earth.

[A]

When's your birthday, Stevie? July 17th. I didn't mean to. Do you think. Why don't you build up a little courage and ask your wife if you can go there for your birthday?

[C]

Well, to be honest, last time we went, it was not a good time. Not me personally. I just sat in the hot tub a lot. I enjoyed myself. But when you have people watching your animals when you're gone for the week, they tend to be a little cranky about it because they want us to come home. Because it's a lot to handle.

[A]

Yeah. You own a zoo, Steve. We do own a zoo. You should charge. You should. Oh boy. All right. Well, Steve, you have a good one. Was great talking to you. Thanks for the recommendation. And you know, tell the wife and the kids and the dogs and the cats and the rabbits and the gerbils and the horses and the mini horses. We says hi.

[C]

Okay. Well, I will let my wife know. She's a big fan of you guys as well. And I also gotta say before you go, I appreciate what you're doing with the AI stuff right now with the data centers because somebody's gotta say something. Because not a lot of people really know a whole lot about It.

[A]

Well, I think that's true, Steve. I appreciate you saying that. Now I'll keep on it and hope folks can all look into that too. So we need as many people as we can get. Miles is coming on board, too.

[C]

Yeah. Cause in New York, they're actually replacing a lot of factory workers with robots right now. It took effect.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Purina starting a thing on that too. Because they're starting that in Purina in New York, actually. They want to get AI to do it and replace the people.

[A]

Well, that's. That's what's coming. As soon as the robotics are there, even the. The jobs they say they're going to bring are going to go away too, so. Also. All good information there, my guy. Thanks for. Thanks for adding that in here.

[C]

Oh, not a problem.

[A]

All right, you be good, my guy. And watch for deer out there, okay?

[C]

Yeah, I hit one last month.

[A]

All right, well, just don't.

[B]

All right. Have a good one.

[A]

Capture one at home.

[B]

See? Yeah. Do you like to play football for him? For Steve?

[A]

Steve. Yeah. He's a good guy. He liked me, too.

[B]

He did like you. He loves you.

[A]

Yeah, he gave me favorability, you know. Not you, though. Felt great. Felt great to be like coach's pat.

[B]

I mean, that's also just maybe like if you were actually the good quarterback leader of the team, you would have maybe tried to build me up more.

[A]

Oh, build you up?

[B]

Yeah, I.

[A]

Sometimes you gotta break a man down before you build them up. How's your tank?

[B]

Still stings a little.

[A]

All right. Sorry about that.

[B]

Like you give a five star to someone's. Your brother's back.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You slap them on the back. Kind of got one of those.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Four star.

[A]

Yeah. Red taint going there. Old red tape, McGee.

[B]

All right, let's take another call. Sure.

[A]

We belly on up to the bar. I'm here with my buddy Miles. What's on your mind?

[D]

It's good to talk to you guys.

[A]

Great to talk to you.

[D]

So I left a message not even two weeks ago that if something can happen, it can happen to my husband. And I wasn't sure if I had a story or a buy selling trade.

[A]

Okay. All right,

[D]

I think I figured I do have both. I do have both. So I'll tell you the story.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And then I'll tell you what I think about the buy selling trade.

[B]

All right, let's do it.

[D]

So it was just before Christmas, and

[B]

all through the house, not a creature was stirring.

[D]

And my husband got an email, like a promotional email, and it was a Sale that was going on, and he decided, I'm gonna click on that and I'm gonna order some lube.

[A]

Okay. For the car? No, the lawnmower.

[D]

For personal use for his bicycle. Oh, sure.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

We can go with that.

[A]

For cranking his chain.

[D]

Hey, there you go.

[B]

So wait, so you're saying your hus bought lube for just himself or you end him?

[D]

Well, I. Whatever. Whatever you guys want to imagine, that's

[B]

definitely for both of them.

[C]

So.

[D]

So he clicks on this, and he makes an order and proceeds to go to sleep. And he woke up the next morning, and there was a charge on his card for over $800.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

$800 worth of lube.

[A]

They buy it from Diddy. What was going on?

[B]

Yeah, he got the. He got the Diddy BO bulk package.

[D]

The ad that he clicked on also put a sex doll in his cart. So he ordered it just.

[A]

So it just slipped in my cart.

[B]

Oh, God, these fat fingers. You know, the buttons on my phone are so small. My fingers are so big.

[D]

He. He swears on our marriage that it was an accident, and I believe him.

[A]

Okay. All right. Hey, it's good that you have trust in your husband.

[D]

100. 100. Trust that. That it was.

[B]

She's like, all right, so I want to buy, sell, and trade some lube and. But we've been really enjoying my story. We've been really enjoying the sex doll.

[D]

No, my. My story is not.

[B]

No, yeah, no, I know.

[D]

That's just. That's just the start of it.

[A]

Just quick clarification. Are we talking like an entire head to toe situation or like, just a torso? Okay, head to toe.

[D]

No, it's a full blow up.

[B]

Is it modeled after anyone you know? Is it like.

[D]

I don't know about that.

[B]

All right, does it have a face?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Okay, Is it.

[A]

Is it a surprised face?

[D]

He actually. He actually reached out to see because he was not happy about being $800 in the hole. He actually reached out to see if he did.

[B]

There, there.

[A]

And at least it was easy to get $800 in that hole.

[B]

People would pay a lot more than $800 to get into a hole.

[D]

It was. It was a Christmas special. So all sales were final. Fine.

[A]

Okay. Christmas special. All sales are final.

[D]

So he gets an email. You know, FedEx email. You have a package come in. It weighs 125 pounds. All right? So then next day, he gets another email from FedEx. You have a package coming. It weighs 98 pounds. Like, what the hell? You just got one that said it weighs 125 pounds. And then the day after that, he gets another email that he has two packages coming from FedEx. One weighs 102 pounds and the other one weighs 115 pounds.

[A]

What?

[D]

We have four sex dolls.

[B]

Four sex dolls showed up to your

[A]

house, but different sizes in all different

[D]

shapes, and different colored wigs.

[A]

Okay. Different wigs, huh? Wow.

[D]

Yeah. So over the next week or so, we. We ended up getting four, well, three deliveries because two came in the same.

[A]

The two came at the same time. That's just the advertising on the packaging to save.

[B]

To save room on packaging, they arranged them, you know, feet. Feet ahead.

[D]

And they were into decept different packages. They were just on the same. Same truck.

[B]

Didn't know if they were 69ing in the package.

[D]

So what. What are we gonna do with four sex stuff?

[A]

Like, not all of our calls are like this, guys. This.

[C]

That's.

[A]

You just got us in a bad swing. Okay, Confession is right after this. We have a. We have a whole bar. We're here at the. The American Legion and three lakes, and people are wondering what you're saying on the other end of this line. So.

[B]

And there's a lovely lady at the end here with Charlie's sweatshirt on, and she's like, this is not the Charlie Barons I thought I was coming to see.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, this isn't the Charlie Barons I thought I was coming to see here either, you know, but speaking of coming, what did you guys do with all these sex dolls?

[D]

So, first of all, they come with no clothes, so my husband and I had to go shopping.

[A]

I think it was an American girl. Are you kidding me? You went to TJ Maxx to dress these dolls?

[D]

Yes. Well, they can't be naked in my house.

[A]

No, they can't be naked in your house. You see? You know, you're a good Christian woman. That's right, I am. You should have used Kohl's cash, though. I mean, these things aren't living, you know, well.

[B]

And what's the fun in just starting out completely naked? You want to have a little bit of foreplay going on.

[A]

That's true.

[B]

Little role play.

[A]

So did you get them, like, bras, too?

[D]

Yeah. Yes, bras and underwear and clothes.

[B]

You definitely went theme, though. You got like a school teacher, you got a naughty police officer. What other ones you got?

[D]

Work out, workout pants, yoga pants?

[A]

Oh, my gosh. So you guys. Are they just hanging around the garage or what's going on?

[D]

So. So they. So we got them dressed, and my. Didn't think much of it. Just kind of put him away.

[A]

What do you mean you didn't think much of it? You went to.

[D]

Because we're trying to ignore it. We're trying to like, not realize that we have this in our house. So we kind of put them. We have like a room where we have exercise equipment and a sauna. We kind of just shoved them in the corner.

[A]

Exercise equipment and sauna. You mean like a swing?

[D]

No.

[B]

Okay, so continue on.

[D]

And just kind of forgot about it. And a friend of mine came over in January and says, hey, you told me you have this, like this sauna in this exercise room in your treadmill. I'm like, can I check it out? And I said, well, we can, but I have a story to tell you first. So I told her about all the sex dolls that are hanging out in our sauna and exercising on the treadmill. And I said, do you want one? And she said, yes, I want one.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[D]

So she took one of them and her name is Lady Titi. And she has proceeded to participate in our parties. And we actually just had a derby party on Saturday and she was a part of our derby party. Got her all dressed up in their nice hat and sat in a chair with us outside.

[A]

You guys are the silicone swingers over here. My gosh. Do you have kids? I whatnot?

[C]

Yeah, one.

[A]

You have one kid? How old's your kid?

[D]

11.

[A]

11. So what did you just say? Like, these are American girl dolls?

[D]

I didn't really say much of anything. Just said, yep, they're. They're life sized people. They're going in the.

[B]

They're American women dolls is what they are.

[A]

Boy, your 11 year old is gonna figure out one day what was. Was going on over by the treadmill and is going to have a huge therapy belt. I'm going to tell you that much.

[D]

I'll pay for it.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

All right, I'll pay it.

[B]

Yes. That 800 charge turned into a lot more.

[A]

Yeah, it just exponential. Okay, well, it's good that, you know, you guys made the. You really made. Turned a lemon and made some lemonade.

[B]

Made.

[A]

And what's going. So your friend took one of the dolls and the other two are still three are chilling.

[D]

Yeah. Yep. They're still just chilling in the corner.

[A]

Okay, so you want to buy, sell, or trade these dolls?

[D]

I'll trade one for sure.

[A]

All right.

[D]

Because I. Well, I started talking about. And like, I've listened to your show. I've listened to all the episodes. Maybe not from the beginning, but I ended up listening to everything And I started saying, man, I should call. This is kind of a funny story.

[A]

It's a great story.

[D]

I don't know if it's funny. Yeah. Thank you.

[A]

It's hilarious. I mean, your husband allegedly accidentally purchased four erotic dolls.

[B]

And I think.

[D]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that he did contact. Well, he said he contacted the company after we got all four, and they said, no, we. We sent you what you ordered.

[C]

And she.

[D]

He again, swears on her marriage he never ordered the first one.

[B]

That is smart, though. If you do want to buy a sex doll, buying four of them makes. It seems like it's an accident. I would agree. That's a. That's a veteran move by him.

[D]

So. But I was. So anyway, I was good to say. I kept telling people, oh, I listen to this podcast. It's a pretty good story. I should call them. I should. And I just. And finally, somebody. You just said, you just need to call them. And here we are. That's when I.

[B]

Here we are.

[D]

I called them after the message and just said. And I didn't even leave much of a message. And I just thought after that, well, they're not going to call me back because I didn't really leave a whole lot of details about it.

[B]

Jared knows what he's doing, so I think I need to ask a question that's maybe on other people's minds as well. What? There has had to have been a discussion on if you guys were maybe gonna try it out or not. No, there wasn't.

[C]

No.

[B]

Really?

[C]

No.

[B]

You just. You don't just have four sex dolls in your house and not at least discuss. What would it. You know, what do you think?

[D]

I guess we're not that. That interesting.

[B]

Okay. All right. Just when I know there were other people,

[D]

I. It was more of a. What in the hell are we gonna do with these? Like, are we gonna get a coffee table and act like they're playing cards, or are we gonna dress them up for the holidays? Or what the hell are we gonna do?

[A]

That would be great. I think you fully embrace it. I think you the. Every single holiday. Absolutely. You change out the clothes. Yeah.

[D]

I mean, so that's where we embraced giving the one to my friend. And like, I. Like I said, she was ab. She was at. We had a party in February at her house, and we had her all dressed up and red for Valentine's Day. And then she was in her fancy dress and hat for the derby party last weekend, and so we fully embraced that.

[A]

Did you go home with anyone?

[D]

No. No. She. She wanted to. To stay at her place.

[B]

Yeah. You guys play spin the bottle with her? Yeah, yeah. The guys at the. Guys and gals at the party without making it weird for anyone. With other people's spouses. You can play spin the bottle and every person gets a chance with the four. With the four sex dolls. And then it's not cheating, you know?

[A]

Yeah, it's.

[B]

Oh my God, please don't give me the red.

[D]

I was starting to not be embarrassed about this story. I was starting to not be embarrassed about this story, but now I'm turning red of embarrassment a little bit. I mean, I am a good Christian woman.

[C]

Right.

[A]

And did your husband. Is he purchased anything else from that site since.

[D]

No, he has not.

[A]

Did you guys even get the whooperkins?

[D]

I don't even know. I was thinking about that.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

Long gone now probably. Yeah, he's like, yeah, we didn't get any.

[B]

So you want to trade these?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

So first of all, I. If there's any listeners out there looking for a like, new sex doll, we got. We got three of them burning a hole in her pocket here. And number two, what are you looking to trade it for?

[D]

Well, I. I just have one thing that came up in my mind and. And I don't know if Charlie's gonna go for this or not, but he's gonna be in Duluth that I don't live very far from, right around mine and my friend who houses Lady TT's birthday day. I'll bring you a doll, Charlie, for tickets to your show.

[B]

That's cheap, Joe.

[A]

Oh, man, we would. You will get.

[B]

That's not a bad deal for you.

[A]

We'll get you tickets to the show. Okay.

[B]

I'm guessing you're on the road a lot.

[A]

I'm guessing I'm g. Have to give you three tickets.

[B]

Wait, you want one ticket per doll?

[D]

That's right.

[B]

He does travel with a trailer, so I think it could be doable.

[D]

The heaviest one was £125 and she's gone. So the rest, the other ones are right around £100. So, you know, you should be able to handle it.

[A]

Good lord. Yeah. Okay, we'll get you tickets to the show, but you can, you can leave, you know, TT at home. Yeah, leave. Leave the TT next to the treadmill.

[B]

Chuck, you need to bring her up on stage at the show and you do a buy seller trade or a Craigslist.

[A]

Should we auction it off for charity?

[D]

Hey,

[B]

you could auction it off for charity.

[A]

What's your favorite charity?

[D]

I usually Go for. I don't necessarily have a favorite one. Anything local, where the money stay in. Local.

[A]

Okay. All right, well, why don't you think of a charity and then we'll send you some tickets and you make a game time decision if TT's coming to the show.

[B]

All right? Okay, well, you can. You named one of them. I got to know what the other three.

[A]

Oh. Are.

[D]

So one was Dorothy and you're not going to get TT because she's with my friend.

[A]

Oh, that's right.

[D]

The one was Dorothy, Belinda and Helen.

[A]

Okay, Helen.

[B]

So. So smolder gals, you know,

[D]

just as ridiculous as the story.

[B]

And I thought maybe one of them be Cinnamon or something like that.

[D]

That.

[A]

How are you going to carry this 100 pound doll to the show? Just between you and your husband? Just kind of semantics, right? Semantics. Yeah, yeah, right.

[D]

I. I have a dolly. I mean, we can figure it out.

[A]

You have a dolly for your doll, so you got. That's where they got the name from.

[B]

You have four dollies.

[A]

Switch one the name to Dolly. We got Dolly on the dolly.

[D]

I can do that.

[A]

That's.

[D]

It's. That's negotiable.

[A]

Yeah, sure. No, we'll get you tickets to the show. Just ratchet strap dolly to the dolly and bring. Roll her on over and we'll auction her off for charity. It's like Hannibal Lecter.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And Chuck, I don't know what your. What your policy is for your show, but you might need to change that show to 18 plus.

[A]

Yeah, that's. That's not a bad idea. Yeah, I don't think we need any more 11 year olds traumatized by this situation. Oh, my gosh. All right, well, good, you know. All right, well, thank you for calling in. We're really glad you did. It was a wonderful story. We got you locked in for tickets to that show. We're gonna raise some money for charity and just do me a favor and don't get any crazy ideas with your husband with this doll before the show.

[B]

He wants it like new.

[D]

Okay, they are new. They are not like they're new.

[B]

Well, you took them out of the box, so.

[D]

Oh, true. Yeah. Okay, fair.

[A]

Please put the box back in the box. That would be preferred. Jesus.

[B]

Jesus Christ, Chuck, that's just too far.

[A]

That was too far. What are you talking about?

[D]

This story was a little too far. I don't know the whole thing.

[A]

All right, well, look, we appreciate you and good luck with those and we'll see. When are those shows, I don't know, know, coming Up. All tickets, folks. Charlie bar.com. you really want to get that Delu show going? All right, Lee. Well, hey, thank you. We appreciate it.

[D]

Thanks, guys.

[A]

Tell your husband when he says hi, and. And your new friends, too.

[B]

And tell Dorothy and Helen and Gertrude, Belinda, Dolly.

[D]

We got. We changed it to Dolly.

[B]

Yeah, so tell Dorothy, Dolly, and Helen that we says hi.

[D]

Yeah, I will.

[B]

For whatever reason. Shocked to hear that from us. Charlie and Miles says hi, and they're like, what? Oh,

[A]

the Midwestern 3O faces staring back at us.

[D]

Oh, Lord, you guys are too much.

[B]

Well, thanks for calling in. Chuck. Will see you soon.

[D]

Yeah, thanks for taking my call.

[B]

See ya.

[A]

Wow, Miles, what would Ann do if you made that same mistake?

[B]

I'd be bad.

[A]

Yeah. Why? Because you're out of storage. You say it's for a video or something.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, honestly. Yeah, we have a very good scape goat of being like, oh, anything we buy is for a video.

[A]

Yeah, Ryan bought that.

[B]

And then you just go, ah, we shot it and we didn't like it, so now we just have it.

[A]

It's just. It's just a sex style with a shotgun hole through it. Was boxing box too far? Is box a derogatory term?

[B]

No, it was. I was just doing a funny, Chuck.

[A]

Oh, you got a little white in your beard there, Miles. Hang on, let me pop. Pull it up. Should I pull it it out? You want me to pull it out?

[B]

You can. I don't prefer it because I like

[A]

to just embrace it. Yeah, I got a couple whites too. Can you see them? I'm more of a dirty blonde. You got that?

[B]

You're just a little more patchy, so it's harder to see.

[A]

Okay. Okay.

[B]

We got any more colors, Jared? Okay. Well, guys, thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Bellied up podcast. If you're ever running through three lakes, you got to stop at the American

[A]

Legion Post 431, right off the main drag, right across from the hardware store. Or kitty corner, I suppose. But anyways, come on down and get yourself a Baron's Old Fashioned Brandy. And don't forget to tip your bartender.

[B]

We'll see you in the next one.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Hope you guys have a good one.

[C]

Goodbye now.

[A]

Toodaloo.
