The reason why this brings back memories, Charlie. We had a little rivalry back in the day.

[Charlie Barron]

Did you? With Bemidji.

[Miles]

With the Bemidji Beavers. Oh, we used to call it Beaver week.

[Charlie Barron]

Did you?

[Miles]

And we used to shave our beards and just have a mustache.

[Charlie Barron]

Really nice.

[Miles]

Awesome.

[Charlie Barron]

I want to see a picture. Do you have a picture of you.

[Miles]

With the mustard Somewhere I can find it.

[Charlie Barron]

I'd love to see that. I'd love to see that. Now, how did you guys typically do against Bemidji?

[Miles]

Usually win or I'd have to pull up the stats. We at least won once or twice. For sure.

[Charlie Barron]

Because of you or.

[Miles]

No.

[Charlie Barron]

Okay.

[Miles]

I. I helped you did you know I played.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Didn't actually, like, do a ton.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. But your career started to go downhill in college.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Football career.

[Miles]

100%.

[Charlie Barron]

Because you were the star quarterback in high school.

[Miles]

I was. But what's cool about the MSUM Bemidji State rivalry is they actually have a rivalry trophy called the Battle Axe.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh.

[Miles]

And it's one of the oldest trophies in college football.

[Charlie Barron]

Really? That Is that where. I mean, the Badgers and University of Minnesota, the Gophers, they have an axe.

[Miles]

To Google Midgie Msum. Battle axe. I'm. I. I'll go out on limb, Charlie, and say this battle ax is cooler than the Minnesota Wisconsin one, okay? Because isn't the Minnesota Wisconsin one Paul Bunyan's ax? Yeah, yeah, this is a battle ax. It's way different.

[Charlie Barron]

All right, hang on, hang on, hang on. Oh, I. I put in battle as. That's not what we want.

[Miles]

Good thing your safe search was on. On Google.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, Seriously, I can't find this. Oh, is that it? Barbarian. No, that's not it.

[Miles]

Here, let me do it.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, I just typed in Bemidji battle axe. Can't find it anywhere. Miles, does it even exist?

[Miles]

It does. Oh, there it is.

[Charlie Barron]

That's the best picture you got of this thing. That is badass, though.

[Miles]

It is badass.

[Charlie Barron]

Bad axe. Is that a. That's a walleye.

[Miles]

No, that's an axe.

[Charlie Barron]

It looks like a walleye on the other end, so, yeah, it was pretty cool. How come there's not another picture of that? How come you're not holding this ax here?

[Miles]

That was probably after my time, Charlie.

[Charlie Barron]

Okay. Okay, well, that's. Is it sharp?

[Miles]

No.

[Charlie Barron]

Okay.

[Miles]

But anyways, just thought I'd bring out the yearbook since we're in Bemidji, we beat the Beavers a couple of times.

[Charlie Barron]

Did you?

[Miles]

Felt good.

[Charlie Barron]

Well, I'm really proud of you, Miles, and that's what makes me happy to be your friend and bellied up to the bar here with you.

[Miles]

One cool tradition, though, that the Bemidji team has.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah?

[Miles]

Is when they win on homecoming, I believe they go and they jump in the lake, pads on and stuff with.

[Charlie Barron]

All the pads on. That's cold, probably. Oh, yeah, yeah, that'll end. Is it. Is it the kind of thing where you. Shoulder pads and helmets and everything?

[Miles]

All I know is they did do that to us once. That's why I know that.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, well, I'm sorry for your losses, Miles.

[Miles]

It's all right.

[Charlie Barron]

But I do wish you the best Here.

[Miles]

Should we take some colors?

[Charlie Barron]

Let's do it. I also want to try one of these cookies here. Should we split one? Yeah youh want to split cookie together?

[Miles]

We should, yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

I wonder what they cost.

[Miles]

Yeah. Wonder who made them.

[Charlie Barron]

I wonder that, too. Was it Lauren?

[Miles]

They don't know that yet.

[Charlie Barron]

They don't? We'll see. We'll see.

[Miles]

Well, we'll text the callers, all right?

[Charlie Barron]

Sounds good.

[Grant]

Grant.

[Charlie Barron]

Grant, what's going on? Belly up to this bar. Give us your rant, Grant.

[Grant]

Well, I tell you what, I work At a golf course. And I'm sick of these golfers not fixing their divots and their ball marks on the green.

[Charlie Barron]

That is a pain in the ass. From a former caddy, I can tell you that's annoying as hell. What golf course do you work at?

[Grant]

Well, I work at Lawrence Country Club. I'm a student at ku and that's kind of my part time thing.

[Charlie Barron]

So then you just got a bunch of work to do fixing the divots and the ball marks. Miles, you're a big golfer. What do you think about this?

[Miles]

I agree. I think you should fix your divots. It's gentleman's game. Now, I'm a play devil's advocate here. I'm not saying that I necessarily believe in this, but if you think about it, in any other situation, you are paying to play golf, but you're also paying to do a bunch of work. So you have to replace your divots. You have to fix the divot marks on the thing. You know, it's all this extra stuff that you're paying to do. I feel like that should be in your greens fee. Maybe someone there fixing your divots for you.

[Charlie Barron]

It's called a cad.

[Miles]

I know, but on a regular course, there should be one guy going around, I think. Yeah, well, I'm not saying I believe that. I'm just saying it's, you know, we.

[Charlie Barron]

Are looking to create more jobs in this country.

[Miles]

You know, if you go to a bar and you're done with your beer, they take the beer and throw it away for you. Whereas in a what, you have to go do that yourself at a golf course.

[Grant]

I don't know, Miles. I think if you're playing golf and you leave a divot, what about the group behind you? What happens if they got a hit out of your divot? That's no good.

[Miles]

Again, I, I don't think that I necessarily believe in what I'm saying. I'm just playing devil's advocate. There's a lot of holes in it.

[Grant]

I understand most golfers are pretty good. I'd say 98% do everything right. It's just really, it's the old guys.

[Miles]

And to be honest with you, I don't think there's a lot of golfers out there. They don't even have to worry about fixing divots on the green because they're not hitting the green anyways.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, I mean, that's my thing. You can't, you don't need to replace ball marks in the woods. So I. This Is really. For the two times a year I golf, I probably replace one. I probably scrunch up one. That's where you stick your tee in. Right. And you pull it up.

[Miles]

Yeah. See, Charlie doesn't even need to buy a divot fixer. He just uses his tee.

[Charlie Barron]

They sell like a divot fixer. Like, is that that little.

[Miles]

Is that the two prongs?

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I've seen that.

[Miles]

I've seen.

[Charlie Barron]

Sometimes you have a ball mark on that thing. Man. I tell you, golf. Golf is a silly, silly sport. It's fun. It's fun. And you like the. It's a meditative thing for you, Miles.

[Miles]

I do. I like getting out there by myself in the morning, playing nine holes, just thinking about life or not thinking about life.

[Charlie Barron]

You wear shoes?

[Miles]

Yeah, I do.

[Charlie Barron]

How do you feel about people that don't wear shoes when they golf?

[Grant]

I don't mind it. We got great grass, so if you want to walk around barefoot, go for it.

[Charlie Barron]

All right, so we heard the ball marks, and we heard the diva divots. What. What are the other things that piss you off about golfers? Well, give us the insight into the golf management business.

[Grant]

Yeah, I don't like when they drive up by the green. Like, I don't be lazy. You can't be driving your cart next to the golf green.

[Charlie Barron]

Are you clearly marking where their carts can go?

[Grant]

Oh, yeah, we got signs. Sometimes you got to rope it off because they just ignore everything.

[Miles]

Why do you think people do that?

[Grant]

Because they don't want to walk. You know, if the greens on a hill and they don't want to walk up the hill from the car path, they'll just pull up right next to it.

[Miles]

Yeah. I mean, you can't argue with that logic.

[Charlie Barron]

Pretty much the problem with, I think, golf is that you have all these rules, but you also serve so much booze on the golf course that it all goes right out the window.

[Grant]

Yeah. I think the golfers drinking the most are causing the least problems, though, because they're not hitting the green and they're not swinging the clubs too well, so their divots aren't that big.

[Miles]

Here's what we need to do. We need to upgrade the Ranger. So, like, the Marshall or whatever their name is, the guy who's kind of the cop on the course.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

We need to upgrade his cart, and he needs to start driving around and giving tickets, because it's like, right now, how it works is he'll come up to you, be like, hey, you're playing too Slow. We need you to speed it up. But don't even give them a scolding. Just hand them a ticket and say that they owe the, the clubhouse 20 bucks. That will get people to start behaving on the course. Soon as you start attacking their, their wallet, that's when change happens. If cops on the road were just giving people scoldings like the ranger does on the golf course, people would be driving 100 miles an hour, going all over the place. But as soon as they started handing out tickets, that's how you get stuff done.

[Charlie Barron]

This is what you do if you are the only golf course in town. If you have a monopoly on the golf courses, because otherwise they're gonna go over to like, you know, whatever the other the name. It's a country club. You said you're at.

[Grant]

Yeah, I'm at a country club.

[Miles]

What do you think of upgrading the, the marshals powers to be able to hand out tickets?

[Grant]

See, we don't even have a Marshall, so it's like we got to get that first.

[Charlie Barron]

You should, you should take it on yourself, dude. Vigilante justice, you know, I mean, get yourself one of those, one of those motorized scooters and get a Segway. Get a Segway. Get out there.

[Miles]

You need to be the Paul Blart of your golf course and start handing out tickets.

[Charlie Barron]

Almost like the sheriff and my stand.

[Grant]

And just fix everything behind them.

[Miles]

No, you gotta start handing out tickets so they do it.

[Grant]

There we go.

[Charlie Barron]

You gotta rule by fear as the ranger. Like they have no real power so you have to kind of invent some power. So tickets, if that's the thing other otherwise go around with a two iron, you know, and sort of flash your piece.

[Miles]

Yeah, flash your piece. Maybe give them their, their kneecaps an extra eye down. Yeah, do a little Tiger woods ex wife situation.

[Charlie Barron]

There you go. Well, I dug my butter into the side of his pretty little soup dub. Yeah, BMW. Anyways, well, we're sorry that those ass hats are not fixing their divots and.

[Miles]

Maybe it's a good time PSA Charlie. If you're out there on the course, do your part. Fix the divots, fix your ball marks on the green, respect the course and good karma will come back to you. You, maybe you'll hit a lower score.

[Charlie Barron]

Might I also suggest.

[Grant]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Golf less when you're golfing. Bring out a fishing pole, skip a couple holes. Those ponds, I tell you, they are just stocked, loaded, ready to go. You're going to get a fish on every cast. What's that we got good.

[Grant]

Back to our pod.

[Charlie Barron]

Do you. Do you get mad if people fish?

[Grant]

Oh, no, I'll go fish when the course is closed on Mondays. It's fun.

[Miles]

I like that.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, they're loving everything you're throwing.

[Miles]

Well, man, we appreciate you calling in today, and, you know, good luck with the Divot Bandits out there, the dip band. We appreciate you calling in today.

[Grant]

All right, you boys have a good one.

[Charlie Barron]

You too. Be good now. Rock and roll. Rock and roll.

[Cara]

I.

[Miles]

You know, he didn't seem to be open to fresh ideas. No, I'm not saying that it's broken. I'm saying I. I think you should fix your divots and all that, but I'm just trying to workshop other ideas.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, I like where your mind was going with that. You know, as, like, as a former caddy, you know, I flex those credentials every so often here on. I do. I do. And I gotta tell you, it's just very easy to get in the flow of the game and not think about, like, oh, I hit a great shot, or like, how many times do you, like, duff it in the fairway, you know, pull out, like, a whole hole, and then you're so pissed at the shot that you're just like, ah. And get back in the car and go. And you just left this gaping hole in the middle of the thing. And you gotta get over that. You gotta get over that. Anyways, should we take another caller? Let's take another caller.

[Miles]

All right, we have a. We have a patron from the bar, Charlie.

[Charlie Barron]

I love it. I love it when we get the bellied up guest IRL that stands for in real life.

[Miles]

You know, it's nice to get outside and touch grass once in a while. And this is the podcast version of Touching Grass is having someone in the.

[Lauren]

Bar here with us that also works here.

[Miles]

Okay, so she's not even actually a patron then. No, she's an employee of the bar.

[Charlie Barron]

It's. So Lauren.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Where are you from?

[Lauren]

I was actually born in Colorado Springs, but I grew up in Bemidji, Minnesota.

[Miles]

Nice.

[Charlie Barron]

Lucky you.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

All right.

[Miles]

Why did you come to Bemidji from Colorado Springs?

[Lauren]

Honestly, My dad ran Sam's Club in Albertsons, and, you know, he didn't want to work on the road, so we moved up here, and he ran Lakeland Motor and Sport and sold dirt bikes and four wheelers.

[Miles]

I like that.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, wow. So you grew up riding, huh?

[Lauren]

Yeah, I could probably beat you.

[Charlie Barron]

Definitely. You know what? I got a 2006 Mitsubishi that can get up to, like, 35 going downhill.

[Lauren]

Oh, I'm proud of you.

[Miles]

Last time I rode a dirt bike, I was on, like, a little mini track, and I tried to impress my friends going over a double jump.

[Lauren]

It didn't work out.

[Miles]

On a dirt bike, I pinned her down, made the first jump fine, but I was laying on the gas too much when I landed. And then when I went over the second one, I went flying. Literally flying off of the thing.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

Hurt my hip.

[Lauren]

So, yeah, you're fine.

[Miles]

Yeah, you're fine. We'll see.

[Charlie Barron]

Rub some dirt on it.

[Miles]

Now, this is all fun in games, but, Lauren, you told me you have something to get off your chest today, and it may or may not be about your manager of the bar who's actually working right now. Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, wow.

[Lauren]

Tough guy.

[Miles]

Okay, so let's hear it. What's so wrong with your manager Chris over there?

[Lauren]

Every day he leaves me notes around the bar telling me how dumb I am as a joke, you know? And I just kind of want to make it. I want the you're dumb win here, and I want to say, chris, you're dumb.

[Charlie Barron]

Okay, so you came on here to just to make this statement to Chris that, in fact, you are not the one who is dumb, but he is.

[Lauren]

Dumb, and I'm going to win the challenge.

[Charlie Barron]

Okay, wait, what is the challenge?

[Lauren]

I mean, we try to always one up each other.

[Charlie Barron]

Try to one up.

[Lauren]

It's a battle.

[Miles]

So my question is, is, you know. Yes. It's like, oh, it's a joke. But the question is, has he done it enough to where it's starting to hurt your feelings a little bit?

[Charlie Barron]

Let's really dive in.

[Lauren]

Are you gonna be my therapist now? Am I gonna get billed for this?

[Charlie Barron]

You are every. As a bartender, you are everybody else's therapist. So now it is your time for us to therapize you.

[Lauren]

That was good.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. Thank you. I don't know if that was sarcasm.

[Lauren]

But I feel like I vent about it enough where people tip me more to pay for my therapy bill.

[Charlie Barron]

Okay, so you're in the actual therapy. That's good. It's good to be in therapy.

[Miles]

Yeah. We all need it, and we are not therapists, so.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, no, not really.

[Lauren]

I mean, I feel like you could be. But let me ask you.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, let me ask you this. When you're trying to get the bartender's attention, you're a bartender, Crowded bar, right? What is the rank it like, the five ways people try to get your attention rank it from best to worst.

[Lauren]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles]

What's the best way to get your attention?

[Lauren]

Best way. Say your empty glass forward. We have a ledge there. You can set it forward. Empty. Will typically see it and grab you another drink.

[Miles]

You say typically?

[Lauren]

Yeah, if we. If we're busy, it might take a little bit, but if we see it there, we'll always refill it.

[Miles]

So the best way to get the attention is patience.

[Charlie Barron]

Put an empty right there. Okay. And then they'll see it and will. Will you just replace the drink? Does that mean I just want a replacement drink? Okay.

[Lauren]

Yep.

[Charlie Barron]

What is the worst way to get a bartender's attention in a crowded bar?

[Lauren]

Whistling and doing the shake of the glass, you know?

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, like doing a one of these.

[Miles]

That was actually great. I just whistled, and Chris looked at me, got instantly pissed at me. That was great. He's like. He's like, should we fight?

[Charlie Barron]

Was it one of these?

[Miles]

Like, yeah.

[Lauren]

The one that I did have recently was a glass being shaken because I was talking to somebody across, like, the table, trying to get their order.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

And then the guy that was next to me took his beer and shook his empty glass and right in front of my face while I was trying to get an order of somebody else.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, wow.

[Lauren]

And that was a hard, mean mug.

[Charlie Barron]

So give us a mean mug. Give us a bartender. Oh, damn. Something died in my soul.

[Miles]

I'm glad that went that direction.

[Charlie Barron]

Good lord. I feel like I got the evil eye now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lauren]

So don't do that.

[Charlie Barron]

Okay.

[Lauren]

Okay.

[Charlie Barron]

What are.

[Miles]

Oh. Have you ever had to kick anyone out of this bar?

[Lauren]

Oh, honestly, we have great clientele that comes in here. There have been a time or two. Has been a time or two that I have.

[Miles]

How do you usually do it? You, like, grab.

[Lauren]

Do you want me to say it on the microphone?

[Charlie Barron]

Say it.

[Lauren]

If you don't knock it the off, I'll get you the out of here.

[Miles]

Okay. I like that.

[Lauren]

Yeah. Our boss is pretty okay with us taking the reins.

[Charlie Barron]

Taking it there.

[Lauren]

Taking the reins.

[Charlie Barron]

So why'd you have to kick them out? Oh, my gosh.

[Lauren]

You're in northern Minnesota. I mean, people get crazy tell us, screaming at other people in the bar, starting fights. I mean.

[Miles]

Yeah. That's classic.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Have you ever seen, like, any nudity to get a drink? I was at this one bar in Minnesota where they have bras hanging up on the thing, and the whole game there is, you flash a bartender, your deal, you get to hang your bra up on the wall, and you get a free drink. I'd never seen that before, but now I've seen it all.

[Lauren]

I actually have not seen that before either.

[Charlie Barron]

Well, there's a lot of dust.

[Lauren]

What are you going to in Minnesota?

[Miles]

So hold on.

[Lauren]

I want to know.

[Miles]

So just for the listeners, if anyone's curious. I'm not curious. This bar is. But just what is the bar? What's the.

[Charlie Barron]

I think it's called, like, 1219. It was like a number or something.

[Lauren]

He's like, I need the address. Right.

[Charlie Barron]

Can go over there.

[Miles]

And she stays at home.

[Charlie Barron]

Dude, I, I, I'm telling you. But the amount of dust these bras collect on the ceiling is. I, I mean, and bras are expensive. I've heard.

[Lauren]

Well, nowadays. Yeah, Gez.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. Not like the old days.

[Miles]

So this is your platform right now, by the way.

[Lauren]

Oh, gosh.

[Miles]

Let's hear this. Will be starting a new segment on this podcast, Charlie, called Managers Complaints, and we want a list of some complaints you have about your manager. Number one, he can't even hear you right now, so you're good.

[Lauren]

That's good. He tells me I'm dumb.

[Miles]

Okay, number one, we've heard that.

[Lauren]

Okay. Number two, I mean, he seems like.

[Charlie Barron]

A pretty good manager.

[Lauren]

Really great manager. I have a hard time say anything.

[Miles]

Jesus Christ.

[Charlie Barron]

All right, all right. Complaints about patrons.

[Lauren]

Oh, how long is this podcast?

[Charlie Barron]

Hey, we can go. Oh, I was supposed. I got a note that said, ask you about cookies. What's up with cookies?

[Lauren]

So if we're gonna complain about patrons.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Lauren]

We have a high demand over here who thinks he should get all the cookies that he wants and I should bake them at his needs. I bake the cookies for the bar.

[Miles]

Over there.

[Charlie Barron]

Yes. Oh, you make those cookies in that jar? Oh, my gosh.

[Lauren]

I make a lot of cookies.

[Charlie Barron]

That is impressive. Do you get. Do you get paid extra to bring those in?

[Lauren]

Not that.

[Charlie Barron]

I mean, they throw you a little change here, and, I mean, that's a huge win for a bar.

[Lauren]

Can I say a lot of cookies?

[Charlie Barron]

I mean, you are. Might be making this bar in a lot of ways. I mean, and I say that knowing there's a beaver playing piano above me. So there's a lot to compete with of what makes this bar great. But right up there. That's certainly one of them.

[Lauren]

One of them.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. So patrons, though. Patrons, biggest complaint.

[Lauren]

Ooh, I'm going to say it. Regulars that think that they own the bar and you need to cater to every need.

[Miles]

Now, I will say, are you a.

[Lauren]

Regular at a bar? Are you coming at me? Right?

[Miles]

No, I just, I've thought about this before, and I sometimes think that the regulars at the bar have put more money into the bar than the owners actually have. So it depends on the bar. That is the question mark.

[Lauren]

Okay. Oh, what regulars do you have? I mean, like. Okay, so the regulars here, they're not.

[Miles]

Obviously spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[Lauren]

Oh, God, no.

[Charlie Barron]

Look at them backtrack like that. God, you've made Miles just. Just. He's a big man, but he quivers real quick when you get.

[Miles]

I could tell you she got offended that I said the regulars own the bar.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And so I felt like I had to back for a little bit, you know?

[Charlie Barron]

What?

[Miles]

That I'm not backpedaling You.

[Charlie Barron]

You dipped your toe in and you're not shriveled up.

[Miles]

Miles, the regulars on the bar.

[Lauren]

It's okay.

[Charlie Barron]

Wow.

[Lauren]

Work at one and tell me that.

[Miles]

I love that.

[Lauren]

I'm just kidding.

[Charlie Barron]

All right, so regulars who own the bar. What else?

[Lauren]

Ooh, God, I don't know. I.

[Charlie Barron]

What about guys who put their used zins in the urinal?

[Lauren]

I had somebody throw up in the sink.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, geez, that's way worse.

[Miles]

It zooms in. The urinal is a piece of cake.

[Lauren]

Yeah, that's a piece of cake, Truthfully, because I've cleaned the bar in the mornings. That is a piece of cake. I had somebody puke in the sink, and I made them go in there, clean it up with their hands.

[Miles]

That's so disgusting.

[Charlie Barron]

I mean, do you. What'd they eat that night?

[Lauren]

Everything looked like.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, you don't do.

[Miles]

Were you a little concerned that maybe that the reason why they threw up is because they had one of your cookies?

[Lauren]

Never. Because I'll tell you right now, I've had nothing but good compliments.

[Charlie Barron]

Those cookies are good. I want to eat one.

[Lauren]

It will be one. And you throw up.

[Charlie Barron]

Those are big ones.

[Lauren]

Don't come looking at me.

[Charlie Barron]

All right, all right, all right. So vomiting in the sink. No. Don't act like you own the place. What if you're out back, you know, having yourself a smoke? I don't think you smoke, but let's say you did. Okay, Nevermind. And then they walk around back and they grab a beer and let you know. I grabbed a beer while you were out.

[Lauren]

Totally. Okay.

[Charlie Barron]

Totally okay. What about refilling things, fixing things around here? Like, you notice you're out of tp, filling that, going over to Sam's club, getting some tp, bringing it over, refreshing it. Do you like those helpful things, those acts of kindness from the patrons?

[Lauren]

They don't do that.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, we're not doing that here.

[Lauren]

No, we do it as workers.

[Charlie Barron]

Well, I feel like that, you know, some of the locals need to step up their game.

[Lauren]

Yeah, they do. Actually, there's one. There's one local that will step up the game, and that's Mikey Love.

[Charlie Barron]

Mikey love. Shout out to Mikey Love.

[Lauren]

He likes. He likes double limes. And if we run out of limes for his drinks, he will go to the grocery store and get limes.

[Miles]

I like that.

[Charlie Barron]

God bless him.

[Miles]

I like that.

[Charlie Barron]

That's what you need.

[Miles]

Be a Mikey love.

[Lauren]

Be a Mikey love.

[Miles]

Mike. Be a Mikey love.

[Charlie Barron]

Be a Mikey love. Listen to Lauren.

[Lauren]

And he was here.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, Mikey love was here.

[Lauren]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Wow. Geez. Anyways, folks, listen to Lauren. You got your do's and your don'ts when you're in your small town bar. What happened there? Oh, did he call you dumb again?

[Lauren]

He's talking shit.

[Charlie Barron]

Well, that's what bartenders do.

[Miles]

Ye, yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Well, thanks for bellying up to the bar with us.

[Lauren]

Thank you guys for being here.

[Miles]

And guys, remember, always, always tip your local. Lauren. Charlie, Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

[Charlie Barron]

Is it that time of year?

[Miles]

It is that time of year. And you know what goes great? Well, first of all, what's your favorite kind of pie at Blueberry pie. Mine's pumpkin. I know, real original pumpkin. But you know, would go great with that blueberry pie of yours, Charlie.

[Charlie Barron]

Little Tippy Cow, Miles.

[Miles]

Vanilla soft serve. Tippy Cow. I mean, it's basically like having whipped cream or ice cream.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, yeah, how about that? And hey, here at the bar today they got us. They make cookies here. Let's try the cookie with the.

[Miles]

I'm gonna get crazy, Charlie.

[Charlie Barron]

Mm, you're gonna dunk.

[Miles]

I'm gonna dunk.

[Charlie Barron]

Here goes.

[Miles]

Cookie dunked in Tippy Cow vanilla soft serve.

[Charlie Barron]

Pretty good.

[Miles]

That's very good.

[Charlie Barron]

I gotta try. Yeah. Donker Donking and ice.

[Miles]

So just when you thought there's not any more ways to enjoy Tippy Cow, we just found a new one.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh my God.

[Miles]

That was actually really good, wasn't it?

[Charlie Barron]

I'm glad we thought of this.

[Miles]

So guys, next time you're having pie at Thanksgiving or you got a just a cookie and a hankering for a little vanilla soft serve. Pickups. Tippy Cow and tip it on back. Cheers, Charlie.

[Charlie Barron]

Cheers, Miles. Listeners, listen up. Thanksgiving, it's just around the corner. Which means that it is time for football, family feuds, and maybe some backyard games. That'll get you a little out of hand. But hey, don't forget about those playful pups. Dogs bites happen more. I'm sorry? Dog bites. Dogs bites. Miles, what am I doing? Dog bites, they happen more often than you might think. If you end up in a bind because old Fido took a chunk out of your leg, don't worry. Nicolet Law here to help you.

[Miles]

Yeah, you got to be careful at Thanksgiving with those backyard football games.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. You pull a groin or something.

[Miles]

Yeah. Or break a leg.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. Hey, shoot, you know, if, if there, if there's an injury around, you get. Make sure you give nicolay a call 100% and he will get you that money that you need. He goes after the insurance companies so you don't have to. Nicolay Law, ladies and gentlemen. Give him a call.

[Miles]

Guys, we got big news in the bellied up world. We now have a voicemail line. We know that it can be frustrating to call in and wait for a long time. We hear you. That stinks. So by including the voicemail line, it will allow everyone to get a chance to have their topic heard. We'll listen to the voicemails, then line up calls with the ones that we love. This means the more interesting your topic and the more energy that you bring increases your chances of being featured on the show. So if you want to be on the show, call 218-303-5095. You can call in 24, 7. And again, the number is 218-303-5095. If you forget the number, it's in the description of the podcast, so don't worry.

[Cara]

My name is Cara.

[Charlie Barron]

Hi, Kara. Belly on up to the.

[Cara]

How are you guys? I'm like so flipping out right now. I didn't think I'd get in touch with you.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, well, thanks for calling in, Kara. We're excited you did. Belly on up to the bar and tell us what's on your mind.

[Cara]

Well, I would like to know if you have any advice on how to friend zone a guy in the most Midwest nice way possible.

[Charlie Barron]

You. This is the most Midwest question. How to, how to Midwest nice a guy into the friend zone. It's tough. It's tough because if you're looking Midwest nice, feels sometimes like they're coming on to you, extending conversations longer than they should, inviting you out to their cabin sometime. Yeah, we should get on the boat. You know, this is a tough one. So give us, give us some details.

[Miles]

What's been your current approach?

[Cara]

Just kind of ignoring the situation. But this, this has happened on a few occasions and it seems to be. Guys That I have been friends with for a really long time, and they tend to tiptoe across the line a little bit, Push the. Push the limit. And just wondering how to friend zone them without ruining the breast tip and hurting their egos.

[Miles]

Have you tried the technique of just being like, God, man, you're just like a brother to me. You know, you remind me a lot of my brother bro. What's up, my bro? Well, we talked a lot of bro. Talk to him.

[Cara]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

And not step bro. Don't say you remind me of a stepbrother.

[Miles]

Yeah. Because that's definitely going to give the wrong effect.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Cara]

No, I. I consider myself to be kind of one of those, you know, tomboy girls. Try one of the guys. But sometimes it's just that approach doesn't work, and I have to be a little more firm or I feel like I'm embarrassing them or hurting their egos in some type of way, like just by ignoring them. And it's just. I don't know. I don't know what to do. It's. It's frustrating.

[Miles]

Well, walk us through how we get to this point. Right. So what usually had sounds like this has happened a few times.

[Charlie Barron]

Give us the last guy, though.

[Miles]

The last guy. What was the steps? What happened? You started as friends, then what happened to the point where it went a little too far in your mind?

[Cara]

So I have a particular friend who I hang out with pretty frequently, and he's always trying to do nice things for me. Like my furnace went out. He came over and tried to help me fix my furnace. You know, just. He does nice things for me, and then I think he's expecting something that I don't want to give him. And the last incident, he came over to fix my furnace, and when he went to leave, he tried to kiss me, and it was very awkward. I turned my head. He ended up pissing the back of my head. And he hasn't talked to me since then.

[Miles]

Well, first of all, get a new furnace. It shouldn't break down that much.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. And call an actual furnace guy, you know.

[Miles]

Yeah. Hey. No, what. What he was doing was he was fixing something, but he also was breaking something. The old auto body shop.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, yeah. So he'd have to come back.

[Miles]

Exactly.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh.

[Cara]

So I will say the next day, my water heater went out.

[Charlie Barron]

Did it really? Oh, yeah.

[Cara]

Yeah, it really did.

[Miles]

Well, you could have just kissed them to get free labor out of it. You know.

[Cara]

It just seems like. I don't know. I don't know how to be. I I'm a firm believer that men and women can be friends without any dreams attached. But it just seems like the closer you get to someone and the more they get to know you and the more the friendship grows when one person isn't feeling it and the other one is. How do you set those boundaries and in the most midwest nice way possible?

[Charlie Barron]

Well, I think what you got to do is say, oh yeah, so I've been seeing this guy, you know, you got to talk about your invented guy if you got no interest in this thing, you know, and talk about other guys you're interested in or, or something. Just make them know that like this thing is you're not even considering this situation.

[Cara]

Yeah, I guess, I guess that could work. I'm telling you to lie when you're lying.

[Miles]

No, call him. Invent about another guy that's always good out of the woods.

[Cara]

Yeah, and that's the thing is they've been around for numerous relationships that I've been in. They've been friends with my exes, you know, like, so they're still trying while I'm in a relationship still trying to, you know, so, I don't know, kiss.

[Miles]

You while you had a boyfriend?

[Cara]

No, but one did tell my boyfriend that if he wasn't careful, he was going to steal me, steal me away from him.

[Charlie Barron]

Well, it's a warning. That's. Yeah, no, I'm kidding. That. That's not what you want. Let me, let me ask you, trying to get a sense of how old these folks are. How old are you? How old are these?

[Miles]

You live in a town of like 10 people and you're the only girl. What's going on?

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Cara]

I just have a lot of guy friends, but I mean, these are people that I've been friends with for, you know, 20 plus years. I'm 39.

[Charlie Barron]

You're 39?

[Cara]

Yes.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Charlie Barron]

Are you looking for someone yourself or are you kind of like. Nah, I'm good.

[Cara]

I don't know, kind of, but not really more focused on myself and my career, so.

[Charlie Barron]

Well, what do you do for work?

[Cara]

I am in marketing in a. In the promotional products industry.

[Charlie Barron]

Got it. Okay. Well, I think, you know, what you really have to do is just start lying to their face. I think that's the best thing I keep coming up with. And even in that situation, you might have to take some, some tips from our east coast friends and just, you know, if the Midwest nice isn't working, you're going to have to tell them to go F themselves.

[Miles]

But, but that's Just going to make them want to be with her more.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I think you're. You're kind of in a. Like, you've become like the uncatchable monster fish in the pond, you know, Charlie, that makes you want to keep going fishing every day till you catch it.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Miles]

So. So I think you kind of are caught in a bad situation here.

[Charlie Barron]

What about. What about just taking less care of yourself, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah. I think you're saying let herself go. Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Just let yourself go a little bit. You're clearly attractive and have way too good of a personality. You gotta start being just mean.

[Miles]

Yeah. Start taking up smoking.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Maybe leak to some friends that you've picked up a disease.

[Charlie Barron]

Just the oral herp.

[Miles]

Not anything crazy. Just maybe leak that you have the oral harp, as Charlie would say.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. These guys do the Heisman with these guys more. You know what I mean? Keep them at arm slings. Start wearing a lot of boxy flannels.

[Miles]

Burp in public.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Yeah. Don't comb your hair. God, don't. Don't do that. Don't comb it.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, Tell them. Tell them.

[Cara]

That might work.

[Miles]

Could also let your armpit hair grow.

[Charlie Barron]

There you go. Yeah.

[Cara]

I don't know. I wouldn't say it's the attraction thing. I just think it's the. The personality and, you know, the building the friendship over the course of a couple of decades. It just. It sucks because I don't want to lose that friendship, but how much of a friendship is it if the other person isn't respecting me? So.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. That is a. That's a Jerry Springer mic drop right there. You know, they're not.

[Miles]

Do you.

[Charlie Barron]

Do you think guys and girls can be friends outside? Do you think they can legitimately be friends? Are there guys that you can. That you can honestly say are your friends and they've never wanted nothing from you?

[Cara]

Yeah. Yeah. Plenty of guys. But it's just a select few who I think started out attracted to me. I was with someone else. They didn't stand a chance. And they just became my friend over the course of several years.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Cara]

And maybe, you know, they just tried and tried and tried, and you would think at some point you could only beat someone down so for so long before they give up, but they're just not giving up.

[Miles]

Have you tried. I'm gonna be. Gonna go crazy here. Have you tried just sitting them down and telling them the truth?

[Charlie Barron]

Wow.

[Cara]

Yeah.

[Miles]

I don't want to get crazy.

[Charlie Barron]

She tried it.

[Cara]

Tried it, tried it. Didn't work.

[Charlie Barron]

Who'd you Try it with.

[Cara]

This last person.

[Charlie Barron]

The guy who tried to kiss the back of your head.

[Cara]

Yes. Yes.

[Charlie Barron]

What'd you say to him on a.

[Cara]

Zoom meeting, by the way? I was working, I was on a zoom call for work when this happened.

[Charlie Barron]

You were on a zoom call when he tried to kiss the back of your.

[Cara]

Yeah, he tried to kiss me while I was working and on a call on camera. So all of my co workers, they all saw.

[Charlie Barron]

How did you bury this lead? So you're, you're running a zoom meeting, he's over there clink, clanking away, fixing your, your heater, and he comes upstairs, says, well, it's all good. If that water heater goes out, you give me a call. Did he go in?

[Cara]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barron]

Did they go in mouth open and everything?

[Cara]

I don't know. I just saw him coming in, trying to make the move.

[Miles]

And what did your co workers say?

[Cara]

They. Nothing. They were speechless.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh my. Did you record that?

[Cara]

I don't know if it's recorded. I don't want to watch it if it is.

[Charlie Barron]

You were sitting at your desk on this zoom call and he comes in, or was it a stand up desk? It's kind of a weird thing to walk into sitting.

[Cara]

Yes.

[Charlie Barron]

Did he know you were on a call?

[Cara]

I mean, people were talking and there were people on the video. I'm like on my monitors, so I would assume so.

[Charlie Barron]

Oh, no wonder. This guy's pretty forward.

[Miles]

Yeah, well, I think, Yeah, I just think he, this guy. At the end of the day, we all have too many friends anyways. Yeah, just, just cut this one. Cut this guy out. I mean, what? Oh, he's, he's a good conversation. When you go out with all the friends and you're afraid to lose that, that's replaceable.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You know, so you can find another person that can fulfill that. Just cut this guy out. Seems a little too aggressive for my liking. If you want Charlie and I to sit him down and talk to him, we can too.

[Charlie Barron]

That's what you need. You need a, you need a. You need a guy. 1. Your strongest guy friend. Yeah, the, the, the, your best friend who's never tried to hit on you. You need him to be your guy.

[Miles]

You need to be. You need a security team.

[Charlie Barron]

You're. Well, he's the one that should have that sit down. He should be like, hey, listen, you and her, it's not going to happen that way. It saves you the awkwardness. You've tried. You don't need to spend all your time trying and trying and trying. If it doesn't work after the first time. It's one and done. Sending your. Sending your dog.

[Miles]

You got to do what I do with my employees and just delegate.

[Charlie Barron]

That's it.

[Miles]

Delegate, delegate, delegate, delegate.

[Charlie Barron]

Now what. What does she give them in return for that, though? You then have to negotiate their gal pal situations. You have to wing woman on or something.

[Cara]

I can do that. Can handle that.

[Miles]

All right. Well, there you go. Well, we appreciate you calling in today. Good luck. Delegate that conversation out. And good luck.

[Charlie Barron]

And do not ask any guys to come help you fix your dryer. Whatever you do, keep them out of.

[Miles]

Your house when you're alone.

[Charlie Barron]

Yes.

[Cara]

I'm gonna leave it to the experts from here on out, I think.

[Miles]

Smart.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah, There you have it. Well, you have a good one.

[Cara]

And thank you, guys.

[Charlie Barron]

Tell those fellas we say watch out.

[Miles]

For water heater repairman trying to kiss you.

[Cara]

Thanks, guys. And Charlie, I'll be at your show in York, Pennsylvania, so. Oh, excited to see you.

[Charlie Barron]

Awesome. Well, that'll be fun.

[Miles]

Guys.

[Charlie Barron]

You gotta check for the free plug.

[Miles]

You gotta check out Charlie's show where he's. Where's some places you're going. This is coming out in November.

[Charlie Barron]

Charlie be in lacrosse. I'll be in Pennsylvania. That. That I think was in October. So it's nice to see you at the show there. But all tickets, Charlie Barrons dot com. You can find them. Is it in October in Pennsylvania, by the way? Am I right about that?

[Cara]

Yes. I think it's the 23rd.

[Charlie Barron]

Awesome. Well, we'll see you there. I'm looking forward to it.

[Cara]

I'll be there. Can't wait.

[Charlie Barron]

We'll see you soon now.

[Cara]

Thanks, guys.

[Charlie Barron]

Thank you.

[Cara]

Bye.

[Miles]

I feel a little dirty after that call. I feel like that guy went a little too far.

[Charlie Barron]

We gotta talk to the fellas. Fellas, my guys.

[Miles]

Just cause a gal asks you to come over to fix your water heater does not mean green light go.

[Charlie Barron]

No, it. It doesn't. You gotta feel it out more. You know, I.

[Miles]

You got to read the room. If she's on a zoom call, she's not exactly looking to get hot and heavy.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. Toss a couple feelers out there for. Don't go right for the kiss either. Do one of those accidental handhold things, you know, like where you accidentally like, like.

[Miles]

I'll see you later.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. Oh, and then if she does the thing where she grabs your leg, at any point did you get hard there?

[Miles]

I currently have a half chubb.

[Charlie Barron]

You're welcome. I mean, that's a good indicator if she's putting that energy out there. A lot of eye contact. Miles, please get your hand off my leg.

[Miles]

See, there's a feeler. That's how you do it.

[Charlie Barron]

And, ladies, you can be that direct. Are Miles and I still friends? Yes. Did he put his hand on my leg and I rejected it. Yes. So it can all happen. Can all happen. We just. It's communication now. That actually feels nice, Miles. And I see those.

[Miles]

Just listening. I touched his hair, not something else. Okay.

[Charlie Barron]

Yeah. The hair on my head.

[Miles]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, guys, that's another episode of the Bellied up podcast. We appreciate calling in. Also, make sure you go check out the Bellied up merchandise.

[Charlie Barron]

Blaze orange Road on for ditch chickens, baby.

[Miles]

Look at that. Ready for hunting season. Charlie, we'll rock. Oh, you bet you, Dot com. Check it out. We'll see you in the next one, folks. Tip your bartender.
