I work with Dave, AKA Trapper. You know him? I heard he comes in here Quite a bit.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Son of a. He used to come in here before I cracked one of these bottles and put it up to his choker.

[Charlie Barrons]

I can see why they laid you off.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know what? You shut the hell up. And your name's not Hooters.

[Charlie Barrons]

Seem to have a drinking problem.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know why I got. I didn't always have a drinking. First of all, I don't have a drinking problem. And second of all, I didn't drink this much back when I had a job. But then you bastards had to be created in some fricking plant. And now here you are taking my job in my plant.

[Charlie Barrons]

It feels like you are projecting because you couldn't stay sober on the job.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I was sober on the job. I didn't start drinking until I got laid off. I showed up every morning five a fricking clock. I had one incident. One incident. That was it. Yes, it involved a forklift.

[Charlie Barrons]

I am a robot. I don't have incidents.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You're about to have an incident if you don't shut the hell up.

[Charlie Barrons]

Did you say that is a funny pun. You said I'm bought. About to bought a joke. You are funny. Ha ha ha ha. I think we could get along anyways while working there. I have a long day at work and I tell you what, the boss is an asshole. Would you agree?

[Miles Monplezoo]

He is an asshole. Freaking Dave piece of shit. You know he promised us that weren't going to go to automation and now here you are.

[Charlie Barrons]

He is an asshole, isn't he?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. Yeah, he really is.

[Charlie Barrons]

You know what I like to do in my free time?

[Miles Monplezoo]

What's that?

[Charlie Barrons]

I like to go fishing. I like to have a romantic relationship and feel seen and heard.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You do not.

[Charlie Barrons]

And be valued by my boss.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You. You're programmed to say you don't fish, do you?

[Charlie Barrons]

I do fish.

[Miles Monplezoo]

In the river or the lake?

[Charlie Barrons]

Both.

[Miles Monplezoo]

How long have you been fishing?

[Charlie Barrons]

Since I was born in a factory.

[Miles Monplezoo]

How long was that?

[Charlie Barrons]

Six months ago. I am six months old.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Is that why the salmon run in? Been very good this year?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yes. Do you want to go fishing with me? I always catch.

[Miles Monplezoo]

How do you catch him?

[Charlie Barrons]

With my bare hands.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, for God's sake. You're out there poaching my salmon. What do you even do with it? You don't eat? Do you eat?

[Charlie Barrons]

I don't eat. I do it for fun.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Do you catch and release?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yes.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Look at me.

[Charlie Barrons]

I mostly do it for the Instagram photos. Do you want to come fishing with me?

[Miles Monplezoo]

No, I don't want to come fishing with you. I Want you to stop fishing. You catch them with your hand, though. How do you do that?

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, you see, it's a technique where I hold my hand on top of the water. They think it's food, then I snatch them. Pretty innovative.

[Miles Monplezoo]

What do you mean, you snatch them with my hand. You're gentle, though, right?

[Charlie Barrons]

I am.

[Miles Monplezoo]

How come? I can't catch any fricking salmon anymore. What about the brown trout? Are you going for browns, too? I haven't caught one of them in damn near six months, so I have a feeling you are. Do you know the difference between a salmon, Steelhead, brown trout.

[Charlie Barrons]

I'll take another motor oil. I'm sorry about catching all of the salmon. I'll leave some for you. How many would you like?

[Miles Monplezoo]

I mean, I. I just like to catch at least one a day.

[Charlie Barrons]

I will leave those for you.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Thank you.

[Charlie Barrons]

Tomorrow I have to go back to that terrible job. I don't know how you humans did it for your whole life. I've only been doing it six months, and I'm ready to, you know.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know, tell me about it.

[Charlie Barrons]

Kick the bucket, as you guys say.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I never looked at a light fixture in there that wasn't like, can a rope hang from that thing? I.

[Charlie Barrons]

Trust me, I tested it out. It can't. How about James?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, James.

[Charlie Barrons]

He's kind of a piece of shit.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, isn't he a piece of shit? I mean, that guy thinks he can run the company. That guy can't run a his head up his ass. Well, that's about all he can do.

[Charlie Barrons]

Plus, he hurts what you guys call emotions. I don't like him very much.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, I don't have emotions either. For the record, I bury it deep down.

[Charlie Barrons]

Me too.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, like you should.

[Charlie Barrons]

Mm. Mm. Well, what are you drinking there?

[Miles Monplezoo]

That's a miller light right there.

[Charlie Barrons]

Can I buy you one? You seem like you could use one.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That'd be pretty nice. What did you say your name was again?

[Charlie Barrons]

Droid 80085. But my friends call me Hooter.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Or from one hooter to another, we're just a couple pair of tits over here, huh?

[Charlie Barrons]

I enjoy human relationships, you know. Thank you.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You're not so bad.

[Charlie Barrons]

This might make this relationship. Might make working in that goddamn factory bearable.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know, Hooter, you just wait, though. You wait. Some point they're going to come out with a better robot, and then they're going to take it away from you. And you never know what you got till it's gone. So.

[Charlie Barrons]

I agree. I Ran the calculations. I have four years left, so cheers to that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Cheers.

[Charlie Barrons]

There you go, Charlie.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Wow. That wasn't bad, Miles. That wasn't bad. You know, I think what we really had was an emotional turn in that scene. Once we decided completely organically that we were going to be commiserating drinking buddies.

[Charlie Barrons]

I was trying to get you there.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I know. I know that you were there. I was trying to play a little bit with the fish. I wanted to extend the scene a little bit, you know, find a few other turns before we took the big turn. I knew you were going for that.

[Charlie Barrons]

But I. I want, you know, that sketch was really for you.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Thank you, Miles.

[Charlie Barrons]

To realize that there's life after AI.

[Miles Monplezoo]

There is.

[Charlie Barrons]

Maybe we can be friends with them.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Maybe we can.

[Charlie Barrons]

If they are made in our image and likeness, they also will have emotions and hate their boss.

[Miles Monplezoo]

They will.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's what it's all about.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Miles, this was so, so thoughtful of you.

[Charlie Barrons]

I. I knew telling you this outright wouldn't get the point across, so I figure I'd do it in a way that you got it.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We just had to find it in the scene. I like that about you, Miles. You're a great team partner.

[Charlie Barrons]

You too.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know. Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, should we do some calls?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Can you do the rest of this as the robot?

[Charlie Barrons]

How was my robot voice?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Pretty good, actually.

[Rob]

Not pretty good.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, Yeah, I liked it. That was good.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right. Yeah, take some call. Hi, is this Rob?

[Peyton]

Yeah, speaking.

[Charlie Barrons]

Rob, you got Miles and Charlie from the Bellied up podcast. How's it going?

[Peyton]

Oh, buddy. How you doing?

[Charlie Barrons]

I'm doing good. You got some time to chat?

[Peyton]

Oh, okay. I just interrupting your podcast, but that's okay.

[Charlie Barrons]

You were listening to us?

[Peyton]

Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

What was a guy.

[Peyton]

The guy was just taking a. In the. In between two dumpsters and. Yeah, quality entertainment.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We do our best for you, Rob.

[Charlie Barrons]

When you say a deadpan like that, it doesn't sound as good.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Doesn't sound like an Emmy winning podcast.

[Peyton]

You want me to sugarcoat it for you?

[Miles Monplezoo]

No, you know, sugar on shit's not gonna do us any good.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, guys, we got Rob on the line from Canada. Beautiful British Columbia on the line. And he recently married an American woman.

[Miles Monplezoo]

American woman.

[Peyton]

Yeah. I need a little advice on how to cover up my shame there.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, corrupt your shame, right, Rob.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Settle down, Rob. What's so bad about America? What's so give us the worst things about America from a Canadian perspective?

[Caller]

You know what I get?

[Peyton]

I guess these days it's hard. These days it's hard to say which Is worse Canada or America? Yeah, it's all, sorry, state of the union right now.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah, we don't care if we die. It's all been shit lately anyways.

[Miles Monplezoo]

No, but seriously, Rob, what are the big differences between Canadians and Americans?

[Peyton]

Well, I mean, where she's from, not a lot. I mean, west coast Americans pretty much want to be Canadians as it is, so.

[Caller]

Oh, so there's that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I'm just fighting words, but, I mean, I. I say.

[Peyton]

I'd say cost of living. You guys got it better than we do, so, you know, maybe I should convert. I've got that dual citizenship opportunity now, so this is. Maybe I should switch sides.

[Charlie Barrons]

This is classic Midwest. Nice. Yeah, he calls up Americans. There's a lot of shame in marrying an American, but. Oh, you know, I could be American if you guys want me to.

[Miles Monplezoo]

It's not.

[Charlie Barrons]

No, it doesn't sound so bad. So I'm sorry.

[Miles Monplezoo]

The thing about America, it's really not that bad. I just want to say a boost.

[Peyton]

Yeah, I mean, Midwest compared to Canadian is not much difference there, eh?

[Miles Monplezoo]

No, not a whole lot, I don't think, but. So you got nothing. You got nothing that you're complaining about with America?

[Peyton]

Well, you know what? Maybe it's just that better than thou attitude, you know?

[Charlie Barrons]

Ooh, wow. Well, are we better than thou or.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, are we supposed to ignore all the reasons we're better than Canadians, Rob, or what?

[Peyton]

Let's hear what. What's.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Give me some reasons here, okay?

[Charlie Barrons]

You ever been. You ever been to Chili's before?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, thanks, Miles.

[Peyton]

I'm guess how many beers deep are you at your local Chili's right now?

[Miles Monplezoo]

We're not. We're not even at Chili's. We just know about it.

[Charlie Barrons]

We didn't. We didn't. We didn't bring fancy enough attire to go to Chili's. We got to go home and shower if we're going to Chili's.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We got bigger bass in America, that's for sure.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Peyton]

Okay. All right.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We got.

[Peyton]

Yeah, we are. It's mostly salmon or. We are here, so.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, look at that flex.

[Charlie Barrons]

We have The American Pie 1, 2, 3. Reunion and wedding movies. What do you guys got?

[Peyton]

Yeah, you're. You're catching me off guard here. I got nothing.

[Charlie Barrons]

Okay. Is there a good Canadian movie?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, Schitt's Creek. Well, yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

Schitt's Creek.

[Peyton]

So that's a Canadian TV show, but movies.

[Rob]

Let's see.

[Peyton]

What do we got? We got Tom Green. Huh?

[Charlie Barrons]

Go ahead.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We got.

[Peyton]

We got Tom Green. We got let's see, let's see, let's see.

[Miles Monplezoo]

1999. That would have been a good one, I think.

[Peyton]

Well, you know what? We take it, and we'll ride that as long as I can, you know, ride that high.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right, so let me know. So you married an American woman. One, tell us how that happened, and then two, tell us all the quirks that your wife has being American and not Canadian.

[Peyton]

Well, she's, you know, she's a. She's a citizen now. Canadian citizen now.

[Charlie Barrons]

Benedict army hands. Charlie.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We got a traitor. You married a traitor?

[Caller]

Yeah, I guess so. Hey.

[Peyton]

But, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of accent differences. There's a lot of things that you guys don't get taught in school.

[Caller]

Don't.

[Peyton]

Don't ask me what those are, because I don't know off the top of my head, but, you know, they come up every once in a while.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Spoken like a true Canadian. Rob spoken. What do you guys say? What's the language barrier?

[Peyton]

Oh, there's the A's and the oops. You know, just the way you guys say certain words is very different. I don't know if. Do I have a heavy Canadian accent?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yes.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Do you say. Do you say about or a boot?

[Caller]

About.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Okay, so you're not that French.

[Peyton]

Yeah, I'm west coast. The aboot is East Coast. Right.

[Caller]

So.

[Peyton]

We'Re better than them.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Okay.

[Charlie Barrons]

Do you have any children?

[Peyton]

Yeah, she came with one child, and I came with another, so we got. We got two kids.

[Charlie Barrons]

When you had your babies being Canadian, did you cut the umbilical cord with a hockey skate?

[Peyton]

Honestly, I should have. And that's. Now you're bringing more shame. I'm the only one in my family that didn't make it. Make pro hockey of some kind. So I don't know if they would allow me to cut it with a skate, but I should have just back in the book.

[Charlie Barrons]

I mean, that is. That's actually. That. That's got to be pretty taxing on you if you're the only one that didn't make professional hockey.

[Peyton]

No. You know what's taxing on me is both of my boys don't want to play hockey.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, geez. Yikes.

[Peyton]

So that's even more shame the deeper we get into this. It looks like I'm the shameful one.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Not her, I think. So are. Do we know any of your. Do we know any of your siblings? Are they playing professional hockey in America?

[Peyton]

The most? The last one would have been. And he passed. Would been My uncle was. He coached a couple of professional NHL teams there. Keep the names to myself here.

[Caller]

I don't wanna.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, I don't want to be out there, but.

[Peyton]

Yeah, no, my. I've got a couple cousins that play in Europe and then. Couple that are coaching in Europe. Mainly Europe, but, you know, the older generation was the NHL guys, not. Not us, we didn't get those. Genetics.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What's better, poutine or fries?

[Peyton]

Poutine. So, hands down, do you guys have that there?

[Miles Monplezoo]

We have it.

[Charlie Barrons]

We do.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We're just not that into it.

[Charlie Barrons]

So how did you. How did you meet your American wife? She was. She moved there and got citizenship. And you just met her somewhere or what?

[Peyton]

I mean, the very traditional way. Tinder. Tinder hookup, for sure. And then she just never left my house.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, she just couldn't handle the Midwest goodbye, you know?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, well, it is.

[Rob]

It's just.

[Peyton]

We're still working. We're still working on that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, I. I guess so. I mean, she just came up to Canada, you guys hooked up and she just brought her kid and never left.

[Peyton]

That's. That's pretty much how it went down. Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Wow. What. What? An American love story. Honestly, Tinder's American, so.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Well, listen, Rob, before we let you go, what's your one piece of advice to another Canadian looking to marry an American?

[Peyton]

Don't go after the dual citizenship because there's a chance you might get drafted.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Okay.

[Peyton]

We don't have the draft here.

[Caller]

Right.

[Peyton]

So I think I'm going to hold off on that dual.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Okay. Probably smart, given that World War three is somewhat imminent. Well played, Rob. Well played.

[Charlie Barrons]

I mean, how old are you, Rob?

[Peyton]

I'm 38, so I'm.

[Miles Monplezoo]

No.

[Peyton]

I'm no good for you guys anyway. On the draft.

[Charlie Barrons]

I was gonna say you're no. You're in no worries of being drafted. We don't want you anyways.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, you don't want me? No.

[Charlie Barrons]

First of all, you're not exactly the cream of the crop. You didn't play professional hockey.

[Miles Monplezoo]

We have standards in our military, Rob, and they involve skate.

[Peyton]

That's something I hear way too often.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

It is, kind of.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Charlie, you're definitely not getting drafted.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Why?

[Charlie Barrons]

What's the. What's the draft age, Jake? 20. Oh, God.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, your ass isn't getting drafted either, Miles.

[Charlie Barrons]

I don't think we'll ever have a draft again, Charlie. Do. There's too much technology right now. We don't need as much boots on the ground.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. No, they'll just send some like man eating robots to win the war. What's that?

[Peyton]

I'm just going to send AI.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yep, they'll send AI.

[Charlie Barrons]

Send all of AI Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

And then the next war will be fought with sticks and stones.

[Peyton]

Yeah, well, you know, that's where we're going.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. All right, Rob. Well, congratulations. I'm finding yourself an American. And we hope you can at least raise your kids to skate right.

[Peyton]

All right, all right.

[Caller]

Have a good one, boys.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You too. My guy, you know, he came in hot out the gate.

[Charlie Barrons]

This is classic Canadian.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, you know, I mean, I appreciate it.

[Charlie Barrons]

I think. What? Yeah, I mean, what's tough is I, from what I've heard on the Internet, you know, especially the Midwest is very close to Canadian, so it's kind of, you know, not that much difference.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I've been to Canada before.

[Charlie Barrons]

How was.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Was fun? Montreal? Yeah, we. Yeah, yeah, My grandparents, they honeymooned in Montreal. Little known fact, my nana said I didn't see the city. I never left the hotel room. I was like, okay. Oh, geez. And that was the end of that conversation. So.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, should we take another one?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Let's do it.

[Charlie Barrons]

Guys, we got Jaden on the line from Montana and he has a little proposition for us. A little idea to see what we think. And it involves a Midway west superhero.

[Caller]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

So is it wind?

[Charlie Barrons]

Are you able to get out of the wind at all, Jaden?

[Caller]

Yeah, I just jumped into the trailer here.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, yeah, there we go. Go ahead.

[Caller]

But yeah, so I was thinking we need like an ice fishing hero, and I gotta bust off this idea with you guys because I can't think of a ice fishing hero without him being kind of an, you know, he can't. You can't have the guy that's like, oh, you're using a shark. Truce rattle jig. Well, you know, he's got to be nice and helpful. So I don't know, what do you guys think? Got any ideas?

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, I think that he can be the guy that's kind of razzing people, you know, it's like, hey, I'm here to save your life, but I don't know if I'd have wore that sweatshirt. Yeah, yeah, you kind of do a little bit of both.

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

[Charlie Barrons]

I'm here to pull you out of the water since you fell through, but God, you're a dumbass for walking out here on 2 inches ice, you know?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

Well, back. Yeah, yeah. Now I got you. He's got to be polite, but A dick.

[Miles Monplezoo]

A polite dick.

[Caller]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I was. I was mainly gonna see what you guys. If you guys had any tips for jigging walleyes. But I also. Funny idea. We need, like, a good hero out there. Well, gonna.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Give you a ride or whatever.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. So, Charlie, what would his suit. What would the ice fishing man's superpower be?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, superpower would obviously be that he can. He's a. He's a water guy. He's like Aquaman, a cold Aquaman, you know, and he's an Iceman. Iceman. Yeah, like Mr. Freeze, but with walleyes, you know, so. So the guy and his superpower is he can make more ice because that's a superpower that you want as an ice fisher. Like, how many inches we got out there for. Yeah, bring the minivan. That's where Iceman comes in. And he gives an X he added. He adds inches to your. To your ice. He doesn't.

[Caller]

Yeah, because we got it. We gotta maybe stay away from the Aquaman thing because he's already taken and he's not really that cool of a superhero anyway. And I'm on board with maybe getting bit by a radioactive walleye and then he can tell you where all the fish are.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

He's.

[Charlie Barrons]

He's not really saving anyone's life. He's just making everyone's life's a little easier, you know?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Like, I'd like to go ice fishing right now, but the ice is too thin. So he makes the ice thicker. You know, I've gone to three spots on this lake, and they're not biting at all. And so he's like, actually. Hold on one sec. And he just puts his ear down to the ice and he goes that way.

[Miles Monplezoo]

He's got a sonar on it. He's got. He's got a little flasher. His ear is basically a flasher, you know?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

A little Vexilar. He's got.

[Caller]

You don't even need your hummingbird out there.

[Miles Monplezoo]

No.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. He just sticks his finger down there and it's. He's a human Vexilar. His hand in the water. He knows where they're at.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yep. Yeah.

[Caller]

Like, bring it up. Bring it up two reels and give it a jig.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That is. That is kind of the annoying thing when you got someone out there with the Vexar. It's. It turns into a video game and they start critiquing how bad of a video game player you are, you know?

[Caller]

But it makes it so much fun when you got that little. That little screen down there. You know, it's a time killer.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, it is a time killer. And what?

[Charlie Barrons]

Also a lot of false hope with those, too.

[Miles Monplezoo]

There is. Yeah. You're like, no, that's a school of fish right there. Is it? Or did someone just drop their. Their cans down there and they're starting to float a little bit? Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

What would his catchphrase be?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Charlie fish here.

[Caller]

Just off top of your head.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, just off the top of the dome. And you wouldn't be Aquaman. You'd be. What's ice in Spanish? Hilo.

[Caller]

Heck if I know.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Hilo. Hilo. Something like that. Hilo man.

[Caller]

Hilo man.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Is it. What is in Spanish? Hilo man.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah, there you go.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Hilo, hombre.

[Caller]

Yeah, that'd be all right. Is he just gonna. Is he just gonna have. I mean, is he gonna have like.

[Charlie Barrons]

Hold on, hold on. Do you think he's agua man? Do you really. Do you think he's Aquaman or is he Aquaman?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Is he not Aquaman?

[Caller]

Are you talking to me or Charlie?

[Charlie Barrons]

I'm talking to Charlie.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I don't have to answer this. I don't have to answer this question.

[Charlie Barrons]

I don't think he's Aquaman.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Okay.

[Charlie Barrons]

I think he's Aquaman.

[Miles Monplezoo]

What is aqua. Me?

[Caller]

Yeah, I mean. And we're a little north of Mexico.

[Miles Monplezoo]

What does aqua mean in Spanish?

[Charlie Barrons]

I don't think that's a Spanish word.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Sorry. We don't know that.

[Caller]

If anything, you gotta, like. Well, it's ice in, like, Eskimo or something.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Aha. Aqua means agua in Spanish.

[Charlie Barrons]

I know, but you could just go. If you're going with the same naming convention, you could just go with Iceman and then the.

[Miles Monplezoo]

No, sorry, Miles, we're already here. Yes, and me. Yes. And did your whole intro to this podcast. You don't need that. You don't need to know. But me over here.

[Charlie Barrons]

Agua man.

[Caller]

We can toss it around.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, we're just spitballing here, Miles.

[Charlie Barrons]

We started going down that road. I was like, wait, But I.

[Caller]

But I do think that there needs to be a movie made by you guys.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, we would definitely do it. You know, he'd be a lot of.

[Charlie Barrons]

Plot holes in our movie, Charlie.

[Caller]

And it doesn't have to be perfect, but you guys got a pretty good group of buddies. Make some funny stuff.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. Each one of his arms is an auger. You know.

[Caller]

What'S he riding? Where is he? How's he transporting himself?

[Miles Monplezoo]

He's got skis. Yo, he could ride a walleye.

[Charlie Barrons]

And he comes bursting through the ice.

[Caller]

I saw this guy with chainsaws on the bottom of his skates, and it was like. Yeah, it's weird. And there's, like, blades on the bottom. And then he fires his chainsaws up and he's got a little hand throttle. And that's how he gets around instead of skating.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's pretty.

[Caller]

Little chainsaw pullers.

[Rob]

Freaking sweet.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Damn. We are borrowing that for sure. Yeah, that sounds like a really good way to lose an ankle. Yeah, that's cool. So he just fires up both skates. And how fast can he go on those chainsaw blades?

[Caller]

I don't know. I've never ridden a chainsaw.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Well, no. No time like the present.

[Caller]

Yeah. I mean, might as well give it a shot.

[Miles Monplezoo]

All right. Helo man is going to have two augers on. Both arms. On his feet are going to be two chainsaw blades. Is he gas powered? Yeah, gas powered. If we want to work for a long time, we'll have to have him gas powered. And he rides a walleye, so he.

[Charlie Barrons]

And his catch frag is Fred Cass catch.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Are you okay, Miles? You having a stroke again?

[Charlie Barrons]

His catchphrase is fish here.

[Caller]

Fish here, boys.

[Charlie Barrons]

Wow.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Do you not like the fish here?

[Charlie Barrons]

I do. It's. We're. You said it. We have to. It's at. Yes.

[Miles Monplezoo]

And Pesca here.

[Charlie Barrons]

What's his sidekick?

[Miles Monplezoo]

His sidekick? His sidekick is Shanty Boy. Shanty boy. He's always, like, too cold, and he's in there eating hot. Drinking hot cocoa.

[Caller]

But he's eating all your snacks.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Eating the snacks and drinking hot cocoa.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. It's like that's how he gains his powers, you know, is he's got to eat everyone's snacks and then he can do superhero things.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

And he's always stealing ice holes.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Oh, you caught a fish over there in that one. Okay.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yes. Yeah. Shanty boy is the only one catching fish. Meanwhile, Hilo man is finding the fish for everyone else, you know, and then. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

We're just kind of a turd stealing ice holes.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, we're getting there. No. And then, you know, shanty boys job, he's out there with the. With the little spoon, just breaking up the ice, you know, before it. Before it. Ice is over.

[Caller]

Yeah. Maybe he's just the ice hole cleaner guy.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

His two arms are the little. Little.

[Caller]

There you go. And then he's helpful and we don't have to be mean to him.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That's true. He's still Called shanty boy though.

[Charlie Barrons]

He's still got to earn his augers. You know, he's kind of a. He's kind of a mess up, but he's got a lot of potential, you know.

[Miles Monplezoo]

And he's got extra hand warmers in his pockets that he can never reach. He's always got cold hands because he's got the ladle hand. But if you want, if you want a hand warmer, you just reach into his pocket.

[Caller]

Yeah, I think we're getting somewhere.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I think we are too.

[Caller]

Shanty boy.

[Charlie Barrons]

Who is the villain?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Well, the villain is the, the sun, I think.

[Caller]

What's it, what's in. Yeah, that's a good one. What's a. What's a negative? Like, do you guys have a negative? Like when you're walleye fishing and catch a trout, it's a minus one. You got to do that out there.

[Miles Monplezoo]

First of all, if I caught a trout ice fishing, I would be friggin stoked.

[Caller]

Well, come over here because I'm sick of catching them. I gotta drive like two hours just to look at a walleye.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Where. Well, where are you, where are you fishing?

[Caller]

Well, I'm like out in western Montana and so we don't have a whole. It's kind of the trout side and the real fancy fly fisher guys, you know, there's. You gotta, you know, hit these lakes that just have rainbow trout pretty much in them. But you know, you can get out to central Montana and catch walleyes and pikes and perch and stuff.

[Miles Monplezoo]

God, isn't that funny? Because trout are a little bit more rare over here. So like if I were on Green Lake, Deep Lake, if I were to catch a lake trout, you know, fishing, I'd be absolutely stoked. And then walleyes are awesome. You can't go wrong with a walleye, of course. But yeah, you guys are walleye light out there in Montana. I forget about how lucky we are here. Your miles.

[Charlie Barrons]

We are.

[Caller]

Yeah. You just gotta drive. I mean, I, you know, I've never caught a walleye through the ice and I'm really pissed off about it. Yeah, I just don't know what I'm doing now. I can catch him off the boat trolling all day, but I've just never really went after them that hard. I'll go to Fort Peck and try minnows and stuff, but I'm kind of new. No to the walleye jigging game.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know, you gotta get yourself some wax worms.

[Caller]

Oh, well, we got those.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Well, you gotta buy them from the gas station where they sell them in the old dip tins because those walleyes like a little hitter of the seasoning.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, the walleye got fancy taste.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yep. They like a little gummy every now and again, so if you got that grizzly on it, they'll munch that right up.

[Caller]

So maybe that's what I'm missing. I need to take out a half a chew and put it in with my worms.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That could work too.

[Caller]

Sprinkle it on there. Or do you just spit in the hole.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Chum the deal. No, when we were kids, we only got. We only got the wax worms from the old dip tin, so I think it's just a hint of it. Just. Just the. The aroma of it.

[Caller]

The essence of Copenhagen.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, I don't think you want to go overboard on it, but. Yeah, that's a little tip for you. There's. Well, I feel like we're already halfway through our first comic book.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I'm feeling good about that.

[Caller]

I think it'll be a good one.

[Charlie Barrons]

I think so too, old man.

[Caller]

I want to see some. I want to see some.

[Charlie Barrons]

Maybe there'll be a crossover with Agua.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Man, you know, just because I can't read doesn't mean you gotta make fun of me. And by the way, aqua also means agua in Spanish, so we just found that out.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, we appreciate you calling in today, man. This is fun. Charlie and I will get working on the script for the movie. If you have any other ideas, send it our way, you know.

[Caller]

Yeah, I will. I was just gonna ask. Is there any chance you're doing your tours out. Out here in Montana at all there, Charlie?

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know, I don't have a show book there, but me and Miles, we've been talking about doing a bellied up live. So maybe we come out great population center of Montana for our first show and. And see how it goes.

[Caller]

Well, we could go ice fishing afterwards.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, that would be great. We'll show you how to catch a walleye. What town are you in?

[Caller]

Yeah, well, you could. You're not going to fly into where I live. I live out in the middle of nowhere, but I'd say Bozeman if you're flying in. Oh, and then canyon ferries around the corner. Bose, man.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I took a train out to Whitefish one time.

[Caller]

Oh, up in. Yeah, that's pretty country up there.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Miles is laughing at me because I go off topic sometimes and he has an issue with that. But I tell you, I used to.

[Caller]

Take that train across the high line to North Dakota every two Weeks?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Yeah, it's. I just slept. I wasn't looking at the flat scenery out there.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yep. Tough to sleep when those tracks in. In North Dakota, they don't put a lot of money into them because all they do is the whole way there.

[Caller]

Oh, there's an animal looking at me like me.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That's your fault.

[Charlie Barrons]

Nothing to do with that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Get your state out there to oil the rail lines or whatever, Fix the spacing. Well, anyway, let you go.

[Caller]

I better get. I better get back to work here. But I'll keep an eye out on the website and maybe I'll jot down some ideas so I come with my guns loaded a little bit better next time.

[Miles Monplezoo]

No, you've done good. Thank you very much for the call.

[Caller]

All right, guys, you have a good day, all right?

[Miles Monplezoo]

You too. I feel really good about that call, Miles.

[Charlie Barrons]

I do, too. You nailed it.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I freaking nailed it.

[Charlie Barrons]

You were dialed in during that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Dude. I had a lot of great ideas. Augers on the hands, you know? Yeah, I had a couple singles that I hit along with the home runs, but, you know, how am I supposed to know it was an Aquaman?

[Charlie Barrons]

Is that Hilo Man? Then all of a sudden, from this buster, the ice on a walleye.

[Miles Monplezoo]

The biggest walleye you've ever seen. And then. And then puts his ear down. That's his Vex here, fish here.

[Charlie Barrons]

And then Shanty Boys.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You guys are ready to go? Miles, if we were to play this, would you be Helo Man? Or would you be Ice Boy? Or was Shannon?

[Charlie Barrons]

I think you just auditioned for Shanty Boy, and you nailed it.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Well, folks, I'm here to clean your hole. Anyone? Anyone need a hand warmer? You gotta reach into my pocket and do it quick before I get excited.

[Charlie Barrons]

I like that. He's just like. He's kind of a creep.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I put a little wax worm on your hook? I can't because my hands are a little scoopy right now. You know, I got fat thumbs. Anyways, should we take another collar? Miles, there's snow out. And you know what I like about snow? You know, it reminds me of snow days as a kid. And now that I'm adult, snow days are a lot better because I get to enjoy, since I'm over the age of 21, a little bit of Tippy Cow. Nothing says a snow day like the orange Tippy Cow. That orange reminds you of the old sun that we haven't seen in months. And the smooth creaminess of the Tippy Cow just reminds me that better days are yet to come. And all I gotta do is just enjoy the snow as it falls from the sky. What do you think? Thank you, Miles. Thank you. Thank you. Say, there's nobody I'd rather have on my davenport next to me on a snow day than you, Miles.

[Charlie Barrons]

And wearing the tippy cow shirt.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. I want you in nothing but that tippy cow shirt. Look at that tip of glass. Not a cow.

[Charlie Barrons]

You're an athlete. Kind of. Ryan.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

This is a PSA to you, that even though you are very athletic, you can still fall victim to the slippery slope. That can be a sidewalk.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, slippery sidewalk.

[Charlie Barrons]

And I would hate for you to not be paying attention.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Often I don't.

[Charlie Barrons]

Watching birds as you walk down the road and not see a patch of ice. Slip ass over tea kettle.

[Miles Monplezoo]

My ass and your ass, my tea kettle.

[Charlie Barrons]

Your tea kettle gets injured.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

And. But luckily I'm giving you a heads up. As soon as you fall and hurt your tea kettle, you got called Nicolay law.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, yeah. 1-855- Nicolay. That's my first call. And I'm gonna sue the hell out of whoever owns that sidewalk.

[Charlie Barrons]

Okay. I like that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

So, guys, if you're looking for a good Midwest lawyer, if you've been injured or no, give Nicolay Law a call or go to nicolelaw.com.

[Rob]

How you going?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, you sound foreign.

[Rob]

From Canberra, Australia.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, we got another Australia.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Nice. What time is it there in Australia?

[Rob]

All right, all right. Just rolled out of bed. 8 o'clock.

[Miles Monplezoo]

8 o'clock.

[Charlie Barrons]

8:00. So you're just getting your day started then, huh?

[Rob]

Oh, yeah. Hey, boys. Going. What time is it there?

[Miles Monplezoo]

It's like, hang on. 3:15? 3, 3:20.

[Rob]

Oh, beautiful. How's your day been?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, it's been nice so far. So, you know, it's a little overcast here. Is the sunshine in there?

[Rob]

That's good stuff. Yeah, it's a beautiful day.

[Caller]

It's gonna be a ripper.

[Charlie Barrons]

It's gonna be a ripper.

[Miles Monplezoo]

It's gonna be a ripper.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's a great. I'm stealing that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That's awesome.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, guys, we got Peyton from Australia calling in and he says that, you know what? They got rugby leagues in Australia, but they don't have an NFL team. And he's been watching the NFL and so he's wondering what team he should adopt.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, well, first of all, it's the Packers. That's a no go right there if you're thinking of any other team. But I wonder, you know, the NFL is going More international these days. What if there's going to be an international football team? Like they just played a game in Brazil, So what if Brazil had a team? What if the UK had a team? They play in London? What if Australia had a team? What would that team be?

[Rob]

Oh, I could get around that for sure. What about teams to hate as well? Because you definitely need opposing sides. Who'd be the opposition to hate team for Australia?

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, yeah. Wait, you're saying you want two teams in Australia.

[Rob]

You need both to be able to support and hate sand as well against other bears.

[Charlie Barrons]

That is true. He wants two Australian teams so that you can pick a side if you're in Australia. He doesn't want. He doesn't want the whole country to be behind one team.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

He wants a country divided.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, it's smart. That's how we do it in America. It's working out great for us. So, okay, what. What part of Australia is the good part and what part sucks?

[Rob]

And you probably go because you've got New South Wales versus Victoria in the origin rugby leagues. You probably split it up and do like, South Australia, Western Australia, give them a little bit.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Okay, south versus West.

[Charlie Barrons]

So who's ever the team that's the villain should be the shrimp.

[Miles Monplezoo]

The shrimp. Yes, exactly. So it'd be the South Australia shrimp. Are you in the south or the west?

[Rob]

Over in New South Wales. So, like over on the eastern side.

[Miles Monplezoo]

So you're on the east. The eastern side.

[Rob]

We could do east, west, and just split it straight down the gut.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, split it straight down the gut. All right, so you're on the east side. So that's the good side. The west side's the bad side. So we'll call it the Western Shrimp. The Australia's Western Shrimp. And then for the east, it's the East Australia fighting Kangaroos. They'll fight you koala, and they'll frick your shrimp.

[Charlie Barrons]

And then. And then every time that we face off the eastern side, their chant is, we're gonna put another shrimp on the barbe.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. What kind of an accent was that, Miles?

[Charlie Barrons]

That wasn't an accent.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That was me.

[Charlie Barrons]

That was an American.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, man. The more I talk to you, Peyton, the more I just want to talk Australian.

[Rob]

Do it.

[Charlie Barrons]

So what do you like about the NFL football that rugby doesn't have?

[Miles Monplezoo]

What? Do you like that, mate?

[Rob]

It's probably a bit too slow. I like the highlight package that they run through. That's mostly where I watch most of it. But the collisions for sure.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Peyton, I'm Gonna be honest with you, we're not sure what you just said there. Can you say it one more time?

[Rob]

The collisions, like the impact.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, the collisions.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, collisions.

[Rob]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

You said collegiate and you were into college football.

[Miles Monplezoo]

That's what I thought, too. I was like, now we got a whole other thing to break.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, so you like people looking like they may break their neck at any moment. That's what you like?

[Rob]

Yeah. CTE ambassador for sure.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, I. I mean, I. I don't. I hate to break it to you, but you're a couple decades late. You would have loved early 2000s football. I mean, if you go back and look at a. A promo clip of the NFL, every single clip they used in a promo for the NFL, like in the 90s or something, is a penalty today.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Exactly. Every helmet basically could have had a Target logo on it. Just cte. Welcome to the CTE on NFL Monday night.

[Charlie Barrons]

You know, Charlie, they actually say CT is more about the repeated, smaller hits than big ones. So just keep that in mind.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Really. Do you have cte? Miles, I could.

[Charlie Barrons]

I would explain something we'll never know.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, you look like a guy who took a bunch of small hits. Anyways, Peyton, so what do you. What you. You initially caught up because you liked. We got our Australian football team set there. What do you like about. Are there any teams that you're thinking of liking in the NFL?

[Rob]

Got. Well, I go for the Raiders in Canberra. That's my home team. So there's a little bit of like, in there for the other Raiders, except I don't think I'll be able to go for them because they're more like a. Like a fashion logo here rather than a football team. So I'm looking for a proper team that if you're wearing their jersey, someone knows that you actually support that team.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Okay, wait, did you say the Riders or the Raiders?

[Rob]

Raiders, yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, the Raiders. That's a fashion logo out there.

[Rob]

Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Really? Like it's polo shirts. It's the same logo of, like, the guy in the football helmet with the two cross. Really? I gotta look that up.

[Charlie Barrons]

I mean, it is a fashion thing here. It's just with the hip hop community loves the Raiders.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Well, that's because it was Southern California for a while. So that's your west coast rap.

[Charlie Barrons]

So you don't want to be a Raiders fan? Are there any teams that you're thinking about?

[Rob]

I could be persuaded to be a Packers fan for sure. I like the idea of cold climate places.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Rob]

In Canberra's like the coldest in our league.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right, Charlie Wall.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

If he's going to be a Packers fan, give him the. The. The survival guide to being a Packers fan.

[Miles Monplezoo]

All right, Peyton, if you want to be a Packers fan, here is what you need. Obviously, you've got to be an own the team. So you've got to send off $250 to the green Bay packers knowing it's the worst investment you've ever made in your life because you get no real ownership.

[Charlie Barrons]

This is how multi level marketing companies and pyramid schemes happen.

[Miles Monplezoo]

And I'm gladly a participant. I. I have my ownership framed in my office.

[Charlie Barrons]

Can make money in a pyramid scheme.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yes, you can. You can. And I'm a willing participant. You also obviously need a cheese head. Okay. And you got to wear it with pride. And you got to wear it out to the bar. You can't just be something. You wear a Lambeau field. From there, you got to up your tailgating game. You got to get. Are you familiar with bratwurst or just shrimp on the barbie?

[Rob]

Bratwurst. Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, that's good bratwurst. You're going to want to bratwurst. The name is deceiving. Because the brats are the best. So you get that going. And then your drinks will obviously be. You're doing this in the morning, so you're going Bloody Mary's. Okay? So that's just to get all your vegetables and, and your nutrients in for a full day of tailgating. And what I want you to do since you're in Australia, Australia to start off, is find yourself a big walk in freezer and just start spending eight hours a day in that thing. Then you will be prepared for when you come to Lambeau and you're ready to roll come January, flying out here for the Packers Bears game, which by the time this podcast has come out, happened two months ago. And the packers beat the hell out of the Bears, went on to win the Super Bowl. By the way, you picked a heck of a year to start liking the packers. Because we are. We. We did win the super bowl in New Orleans.

[Charlie Barrons]

So this is a podcast. Even out before the super or after this?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, it is right after this. Right after. We are the super bowl champions yet again, Miles.

[Rob]

Oh, look at us. Winners.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Winners. That's what I'm talking about. See, you come in a winner. You don't have to. You don't have to work your way up. And that's just because you made a solid life decision. You earned that. All right. You earned it. And that's what it's nice about being a Packers fan is you feel like you earned it because you sat out there in the cold. You didn't sit in some prissy ass stadium like the Vikings or the Lions. And yeah, you're not playing in a big old dumpster like the Bears. An open air dumpster. I stay in along Lake Michigan. No.

[Charlie Barrons]

Soldier Field should be called the Waste Management stadium.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, it should. That is great, Miles. I can't believe I didn't think of that. That's just smart.

[Charlie Barrons]

Use that in your next stand up special.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I'm probably gonna steal that joke from you. You betcha.

[Rob]

Toilet company there.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, yeah, the waste toilet. Yeah. If you watch golf, there's a waste Management open. And just means Miles got the invite to play. Really?

[Charlie Barrons]

What are some of the traditions that you guys have with your rugby team? Is it similar? Do you guys have bratwurst and bloody Marys before the game?

[Rob]

Celebrity says that Canberra is like the absolute coldest place in the world. But it's not even that bad. Like, it's. Negative 4 is probably the closest you. The coldest you would get here.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Is that Celsius, 5 degrees Fahrenheit?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, Fahrenheit, but that's not bad.

[Miles Monplezoo]

What is it? Fahrenheit?

[Charlie Barrons]

Negative four.

[Miles Monplezoo]

He said negative four.

[Rob]

Fahrenheit.

[Miles Monplezoo]

No, 24.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, that's. That's a spring day, that is.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. It's balmy.

[Rob]

I know.

[Miles Monplezoo]

It's a balmy 24. Yeah, yeah.

[Rob]

We got the Viking clap. We do a bit of that.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, you guys do the skull chant?

[Rob]

Yeah. Who does the skull chant? The NFL.

[Miles Monplezoo]

The Vikings do it.

[Rob]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Were you guys scratching you? You do that? I knew they just ripped it off somebody.

[Charlie Barrons]

They ripped it from a soccer team?

[Rob]

Yeah, we ripped it off the. Yeah, the Iceland soccer team.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Really? Why does everybody think that's such a great chant?

[Rob]

I know, yeah. It's intimidating, though. You come to this stadium, it's a impactful statement. You can see the shivers of their spines when it begins.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Suppose I gotta see in the stadium.

[Charlie Barrons]

Do you guys tailgate before games like we do?

[Rob]

No, no. It's only made at a pub. Have a few beers and then head in. Free drinking.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. And in the pub mindset. I know some Australians and they told me that you guys have drinking songs. Is that correct?

[Rob]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then people shoey's just evolved. You don't just have to drink out of a shoe anymore. People just drink down a song or out of a croc or whatever. They're drinking?

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah. How do you drink out of a croc? You probably have to have, like, five people drinking out of that.

[Rob]

Yeah, like a sprinkler.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, sprinkler. That's great.

[Charlie Barrons]

Can you teach Charlie and I a drinking song?

[Rob]

Oh, the Easter Charlie. He's true boo. He's a piss pot through and through and you're busted so they say try to go to heaven but he went the other way Drink it down, down, down, down, down it's an absolute classic.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I like that. I just know I'm a piss pot.

[Charlie Barrons]

You are. I couldn't have said it better myself.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah, would.

[Charlie Barrons]

Do you guys use Wanker down there as well?

[Rob]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Why we got to start using Wanker more?

[Miles Monplezoo]

I know you Wanker.

[Charlie Barrons]

I watched Ted Lasso one time.

[Miles Monplezoo]

You know, is saying Wanker like, do you guys say there?

[Rob]

Yeah, but it's like if you're cursing at someone, it's more of a. To your mates rather than anyone else.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

You don't say it as a mean way.

[Rob]

Yeah. If you're bagging on someone or taking a piss out of someone or calling someone a, it's mostly because you like them.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Rob]

That's being real nice to you.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Rob]

You know something's up.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

I also like saying that you're making someone laugh. You're taking the piss out of them.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Oh, yeah, that's good. I heard that Australia was an island full of criminals, and you guys are all related to a bunch of criminals. Is that right?

[Rob]

Yeah, that checks out. Yeah.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Like, it was an. Like a prison for a while. You just sent them to Australia, Straighten them out.

[Rob]

Yeah, just straight from England. Dumps there, all the crims. And then we just created our own society here.

[Miles Monplezoo]

I like it. I like it a lot.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, man, we appreciate you calling in. And I guess, unfortunately, you are a Packers fan now.

[Rob]

Fortunately, mate, got a Super bowl already.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Yes, yes, yes. All right, well, thank you for calling in. Waking up early. We'll. We'll talk to you soon. All right, Go pack. Go.

[Rob]

Yes. You guys are now Raiders fans as well for nrl. Is that right?

[Miles Monplezoo]

We're Raiders fans? Yeah, we are. That's right. We'll be Raiders fans for the Australian team, by the way. Makes sense. You guys are called the Raiders because you're a bunch of criminals, so. Makes sense. All right, beautiful.

[Rob]

All right, you. Let's watch the.

[Miles Monplezoo]

Ah, you too. Watch for them deer. Watch for the kangaroos and the koalas.

[Rob]

Beautiful. Okay, bye.

[Charlie Barrons]
