[Charlie Barrons]

We're back, Miles.

[Miles]

We're back, guys. Welcome back.

[Charlie Barrons]

Back in action, baby. Bellied up podcast. Bellied up to the bar. The Old Town Tavern here in Appleton, Wisconsin.

[Miles]

Wonderful.

[Ginger James]

Sp Lot.

[Charlie Barrons]

It's nice to see you here, Miles.

[Miles]

Nice to see you, too.

[Charlie Barrons]

You're looking jacked.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'm dried off from the last time that we had an episode from the coffee that you spilled on me.

[Charlie Barrons]

Just spilled a little bit, Miles. It was a lot of bit.

[Miles]

It was a lot, but I don't care.

[Charlie Barrons]

Thank you. I can tell on the way you just aggressively patted my arm.

[Miles]

No, it's fine. I just. I'm thinking about, like, he's. You know, like, he's kind of the pants. I was, like, pretty. What do you call I was pretty? Like, committed to for this week.

[Charlie Barrons]

Were you?

[Miles]

I might have to swing over and pick up a new pair of pants somewhere or. Why use the laundry at the hotel?

[Charlie Barrons]

Why? You don't need to wash it, Miles. A little coffee. I've spilled coffee on this pants. I'm not big into washing paint.

[Miles]

And I started thinking, Charlie, about when you spilled the coffee on my pants. You are just a special human being.

[Charlie Barrons]

Thank you, Miles.

[Miles]

You are one of a kind.

[Charlie Barrons]

Thank you.

[Miles]

And then I started thinking about other people that are one of a kind. Let's say Dolly Parton.

[Charlie Barrons]

Dolly Parton. How'd you get to Dolly Parton from Charlie Barrons?

[Miles]

It was.

[Charlie Barrons]

Explain that.

[Miles]

Mentally, we were actually thinking about this. Not in that moment, but before. We were talking about Dolly Parton and Dolly Parton land, and we said, charlie Barron's in Wisconsin should have his own Charlie Barron's land.

[Charlie Barrons]

Like my Graceland.

[Miles]

You should have your own theme park.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, that would be a disaster.

[Miles]

That's part of the fun.

[Charlie Barrons]

Wow.

[Miles]

All right, so in Wisconsin, you'd have the Wisconsin Dells.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Miles]

What else is the landmarks in Wisconsin?

[Charlie Barrons]

What are the landmarks of Mars Cheese Castle, the House on the Rock, and Charlie Barron's Land? I kind of like it. I kind of like it. That would be great. That'd be cool. I'm down for that.

[Miles]

So I. I was starting to think about if this is a theme park, I think you'd have a roller coaster ride that. No, no, sorry. There's. There's two ways we could go with this.

[Charlie Barrons]

Okay.

[Miles]

So, you know, like the. It's a Small world after all.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, right.

[Miles]

You'd have a ride like that that you just kind of, you know, float through something with this. With, like, Roll out the Barrel or one of your songs from your albums. I. There's so many good songs, and I can't remember a specific name of one of them, but you'd be playing that in the background and the whole time, the only thing you would do on this ride is just watch out for deer.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, that's fun.

[Miles]

So.

[Charlie Barrons]

So it's like you're.

[Miles]

It's just. It's just fake trees along the whole way that you're going, and the whole ride is just keeping your eyes peeled for deer.

[Charlie Barrons]

Now, do you ever see any deer?

[Miles]

It depends.

[Charlie Barrons]

No, that's it. It's just like a little. Little ride through the woods, and you just go, watch out for deer. So you just make little woods around there.

[Miles]

Yeah, we don't even have to get deer. Just. Yeah, just a ride that you just watch out for. Deer.

[Ginger James]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

You might see them. You probably won't, though.

[Miles]

And then, like. Yeah, once a decade, you. You actually put a deer in there just to keep people coming back. Like, God, that only happens once every often.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's what. You make it more special that way. That's the cheapest, best way to do it. You do it once in a while, because then when anyone sees a deer, they're like, oh, my God, I saw a deer there. It's like a life experience, you know, you. Yeah.

[Miles]

And then, you know, like, they have kissing booths at like, or, like, in games and whatnot.

[Charlie Barrons]

Kissing booth.

[Miles]

Yeah. Instead of a kissing booth, you would have a tell your folks I says hi booth where you pay a dollar. You give someone. You pay them a dollar, and that person calls their parents and tells them that you say hi.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Wow. I went to this one interesting bar in LA once where you put a dollar in the hole and you touched a.

[Miles]

That's not Where I was going with it.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, this is much more PG version.

[Miles]

I'm glad that I'm the one planning the Charlie Barron's land.

[Charlie Barrons]

Me too. I didn't do it, by the way. It was just offered at this tavern.

[Miles]

Got it.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, it was wild.

[Miles]

Trying to think of what else we could do. What. What would you want at your own theme park?

[Charlie Barrons]

My own theme park? Oh my gosh. You know, it could just be. Oh, it could. There could be like robot land, you know, where you have a bow and arrow and you just shoot robots.

[Miles]

Yeah. It's like the games that you spray the water guns at the. At the stuff and win stuffed animals and stuff. You just have AI robots that they're plastering down.

[Charlie Barrons]

That could be cool. And you know what I actually want? I'm thinking about looking at that dartboard. I want a massive dartboard and you just shoot bow and arrow at it, you know, and you can play cricket like that. That's actually just a good.

[Miles]

That's a great game.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. I don't even need. If we need to theme it after me. What else? Oh, you could have. It just be adventure deficit land or like basically like a big area that caters to my add, you know?

[Miles]

Sure.

[Charlie Barrons]

And it's just like a lot of squirrel, like big squirrels running around.

[Miles]

So you know how like Disney World. They have Disney World.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And like they also. Maybe this is like Universal Studios or then they have like Harry Potter World. Right?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Miles]

We would have a separate world for anyone who is gotten divorced. And it would just be divorced people hanging out.

[Charlie Barrons]

It's just a bar. It's like.

[Miles]

Yep.

[Charlie Barrons]

A singles mixer. Just a big old meat market you got there.

[Miles]

Yes, it would be.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, that's really slick. Okay. All right. Oh, I feel like there should just be a bunch of broken down old machines and you can fix something on them and not fix it very well. And then some else breaks, you know. Yeah.

[Miles]

It's kind of got like a steam threshers convention type of feel where like you can go to booths and tinker with stuff.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. A little tinkering thing. Like never accomplish anything but just kind of get your hands dirty.

[Miles]

Yeah. And then, you know, if you've ever been to like Valley fair places like that, they have the power tower. Oh, you wouldn't have the power tower. You would have the bird watcher.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh.

[Miles]

So everyone would get a pair of binoculars and then you'd rise up on the tower. You could look around at birds for a while and then at any moment you'll just drop.

[Charlie Barrons]

That sounds dangerous. Because once you get to the bottom, all the binoculars are gonna fall on.

[Miles]

Your head right in the face. We're workshopping it still. But yeah, you'd go on the bird watcher.

[Charlie Barrons]

What about. What about the miles? Miles that you bet you guy land.

[Miles]

Let's not. Let's. For a different episode. Charlie, we got to see.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, let's solidify this one.

[Miles]

Charlie Barron's land is the way to go.

[Charlie Barrons]

Charlie Barron's Land. Wow. Yeah, I mean, I.

[Miles]

All this, you know, like, they have Mickey Mouse and Goofy and stuff walking around Disneyland. You could just have, like, mascots of all the characters you've played over the years.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, that's good.

[Miles]

Just mascot cow.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You have a mascot dad character, and he just. All he does is just.

[Charlie Barrons]

Dad just walks around yelling at you. Hey, hike up those pants. What are you doing? You know, get over here. Hey, hold the flashlight straight. And you got to hold the flashlight.

[Miles]

That's one of the games you win a stuffed animal if you can keep the flashlight pointed in the right spot the whole time, but while someone's yelling at you.

[Ginger James]

But. But you.

[Charlie Barrons]

But that's an ADD land, though, because it's like, you're like, is that a big squirrel?

[Miles]

You're just raking in the cash because no one wins a PR ever.

[Charlie Barrons]

And.

[Ginger James]

And add you got.

[Charlie Barrons]

We have to buy a bunch of squirrels and let them go. I think actual squirrels in there would be good. Yeah. Oh, this is fun. I'm excited about this, you know. Yeah, you could have, like, cheese curds and like, serve squirrel, too. Oh, yeah. You guys ever eaten squirrel? Yeah, just serve squirrel. Yeah. Deep fried squirrel. That's nice. Squirrel on a spigot. That'd be good. Um, yeah, you could have bonfire making. You know, you could have the. The teepee and the log cabin areas. That's nice. Now I'm trying to think of.

[Miles]

Yeah. And like, you know, we have the watch out for deer, you know, kids one where they go and they just watch out for deer.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Miles]

You could also have a roller coaster that would constantly be looking like you're going to hit a deer. And at the last moment, the coaster swerves around.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, that's cool.

[Miles]

Or you are sitting in a deer as a deer and you're trying to dodge cars. And then the final move, it looks like you got hit by a car, and you go through the loop de loop.

[Charlie Barrons]

That would be sweet.

[Miles]

That would be.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. Now we're cooking with gas.

[Miles]

The role reversal.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah. And. And there's Got to be. There's got to be someone there that, like, kind of picks your pocket while you're there. So they'll either take your wallet, your phone, or your keys. And somebody has to be missing that the entire time they're there, you know, and at the end, they'll kind of.

[Miles]

Give you it back, you know, the full Charlie experience.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, because I walked in this bar today, and I was like, damn, forgot my glasses. And then I went walking back. I was here early, and then I came. And that's the other thing. Yeah.

[Miles]

You.

[Charlie Barrons]

You always have to be kept like, an hour later than what you want.

[Miles]

Or they, like, on the. On the front G of the place says it opens at 7am you don't open till, like, 8:30, though. You just got people waiting outside.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, yeah, that's great. Then people can tailgate before that. That'll be what the. What my. Oh, you guys. You didn't know you were supposed to tailgate this thing, you know?

[Miles]

Hey, and then you could take a page out of the packers book, and you can have a booth where people can go pay money and get a piece of paper that says that they're a shareholder in the park.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's what we're talking about.

[Miles]

Has no value.

[Charlie Barrons]

So it has emotional value.

[Miles]

So basically, it's just like a Ponzi scheme.

[Charlie Barrons]

It's not a Ponzi scheme.

[Miles]

That would be great, actually. Yeah. Everyone get a little plaque. It says in a piece of paper, it says that they own Charlie Barron's land, but they don't.

[Charlie Barrons]

Ponzi scheme. Some things are being sold.

[Miles]

I don't know.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, that's great.

[Miles]

I would take my kid there.

[Charlie Barrons]

Hey, I appreciate the idea, Miles. Thank you.

[Miles]

My kid loves looking around at shit, so he would love. Watch out for deer ride.

[Charlie Barrons]

That would be sick. That's actually a fantastic idea. Yeah, I'm excited. Well, sign me up. Is. Are we gonna do this?

[Miles]

Yeah, I bought a piece of land outside of Madison, actually, and we break ground next week. So I just need you to sign, ink a few papers and you'll be good to go.

[Charlie Barrons]

My funding mess.

[Miles]

Yeah, just sign a few papers. Well, then we'll talk about it. Should we take some callers?

[Charlie Barrons]

Let's do it, Miles. Let's do it.

[Miles]

Hi, is this Ginger James on the line?

[Ginger James]

It is the guys's voice in person, man.

[Miles]

What's going on?

[Ginger James]

Celebrities. You guys are celebrities in my world. I have to say, I'm a very. I'm a very goofy person. So you guys online? I watch you all the time I'm make sure I get it right in a place where I can't speak up, you know what I mean?

[Charlie Barrons]

Look, Ginger James, with a name like that, you're a celebrity in my book. All right? Now let me ask you this. Are you an OG Ginger?

[Ginger James]

I am an OG Ginger by birth, unfortunately. You know, and I ended up growing up hating my hair color for a very long time as a ginger. You know how the gingers get it? We don't get much popularity in schools.

[Miles]

Well, and then there was all the propaganda about gingers not having souls that was going around for a while.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, I kind of like that, you know, because it gives you a little bit of an edge over everybody else. You could, you know, tell people, you know, I don't care about your feelings. I don't have a soul. You know, Use that to your advantage, you know?

[Miles]

That is very true. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I came out with a deal with the devil, so take me as I am.

[Ginger James]

Exactly. You know, they walk by and say, hey, can you help this old lady across the street? Do I look like I have a soul? Dude, I'm good, man. You know what I mean?

[Charlie Barrons]

What's the hardest part about being a ginger?

[Ginger James]

Honestly, for as a kid, it was definitely fitting in. But, you know, you know, after a while, you just don't care about that anymore. You just, you know, you just don't care about people's feelings after that. But the hardest thing, I think as an adult being a ginger is. And that's a really good question, actually.

[Miles]

I want to say, is it the sun?

[Ginger James]

Actually, you know what's funny is there is all types of gingers, man. There is so many classes of gingers. You know, they have vehicles, they have all these different brands of things. But when it comes to ginger, we are very intricate, okay? There's gingers that are mixed. There's pure blood gingers which are going to be straight, like redhead, redhead, tomato red with lots of freckles. You know, they get in the sun and they turn into vampires, those kind of redheads. Unfortunately, I am a redhead with Armenian blood. I have a little Armenian in me.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Ginger James]

I actually. I actually canned very well for a redhead. I get a lot of jealousy from my family. They say, how the heck are you so tan as a redhead? But that is also the DNA. So it comes with gingers. We come in all shapes, sizes and forms. I love that, man.

[Miles]

Yeah, you hit the ginger lottery in that sense. Let's go, dude.

[Ginger James]

I kind of did. I got the hype I got the, I got the blue eyes. I, I still got a little bit of the, the freckles, you know, I, I don't really like those, but those come out in the sun a lot more. So I kind of look like I got a disease when the freckles pop out, you know, like, hey, this guy's got speckles. Get away from this guy, you know, you might catch the speckle disease, you know.

[Charlie Barrons]

So this is speckled one over here.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, extra speckly right here.

[Miles]

Well, where are you at today? Where are you from?

[Ginger James]

I am from Modesto, California. I am in the middle of the devil's butthole. It kind of sucks out here because we don't get any weather like you guys do out there. You know, you guys get pretty much the cold weather. We. I grew up out here my whole life in California, so I've watched it actually. Flurry of snow back in the 19, I want to say 96ish, 5ish. I want to say in California there was a flurry of snow, I kid you not. And ever since then progressively over the years it has gotten worse and worse with weather around here. We don't get rain anymore, we don't get any kind of moisture. We get a lot of fog and we get a lot of summer. So it's like deal with the fog. You can't drive, you can't see anything. It's horrible out here. And then you get the hotness. So that's pretty much the weather out here in the Devil's booty hole.

[Miles]

I mean it'd be it never raining and being hot all the time sounds terrible. I would hate that. I would never vacation anywhere like that.

[Ginger James]

But you know the thing about California a lot of people say, which I do love is the, the geo geography. You know, we have the mountains to the north, we have the ocean to the the south. We have, we have a lot of different geological areas around here that you can go and enjoy. But for where I'm stuck, it's a two hour driving you where to go have a good time. So. And like yesterday I went to Sacramento and about ripped my eyes out and pulled out about half my hair because that's the cities around here. The bigger cities like la, Sacramento are just so clustered, man, no one knows how to drive out here. It's horrible. I've seen a few of your videos about the driving out there and everything. Man, it looks lovely out where you guys are with the driving. I mean the roads look open, you know, someone's broken Down. They want to help you out here. They speed right past you. They. They probably stop and do a burnout and then laugh and then take off while you're trying to change your tire. You know, that's just how it is in California.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, you should. You should come out to Wisconsin. It's much, much more ginger friendly place out here.

[Ginger James]

That sounds amazing. I do. I really want to go. Being a Packers fan. I am a die hard packers fan. My history with the packers, it was. It was in the 90s. I know you're a Packers fan, Charlie. I know you. I watch you online and you. You don't speak enough about it because, man, we are the best dynasty in football. We are the number one. They call the Cowboys, America's team. I want to help people's eyes out when they say that.

[Miles]

How many Super Bowls do the packers have? How many Super Bowls do the packers have?

[Charlie Barrons]

How many? We have four. And beautiful. We invented this.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, let's go get them, Charlie.

[Charlie Barrons]

We invented the Super Bowl. It's called the Lombardi Trophy.

[Miles]

When was the last time repeated the Super Bowl?

[Charlie Barrons]

When was the last time anybody three peated the Super Bowl? Never.

[Miles]

So don't try and act like those championships count as a three piece.

[Charlie Barrons]

They do kind of title town, baby. Title.

[Ginger James]

Yeah. It just wasn't. It just, you know, like everything else, it just didn't have a title. It wasn't. It wasn't a title that was worthy enough.

[Miles]

He said that they didn't have a title. So how can you guys be title town?

[Charlie Barrons]

We had titles where the football.

[Ginger James]

Because football was more important back in the day than titles. We didn't care about titles. We cared about leather helmets and knocking people's teeth out while they smoked a cigarette and a thing of freaking a case of beer on the sidelines. That's real football, man. You don't see that anymore. Yeah, I had an oxygen mask while he was smoking a cigarette. Show me. Football like used to be, man. Tell me.

[Charlie Barrons]

They used to run out after the game. They used to run out with full kegs and they would dump that over the coach.

[Miles]

Yeah. No, no. Gatorade bath. It was just a keg stand for. For Lombardi.

[Ginger James]

They brought out the powdered milk. Open up all the powdered milk, man. Let's get it.

[Miles]

Yeah, they don't. They just don't make football like they used to.

[Charlie Barrons]

No, they don't.

[Miles]

You know, like all the fans used to wear like shirts and ties and trench co and fedoras to the game.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Miles]

And now you guys Got showing up with, with no shirt on when it's negative 20 out with pain on their.

[Ginger James]

Chest, beer bellies painted with the team colors. I love it, man.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yep.

[Miles]

Little do we know, though, that that guy that showed up with the beer belly and paint on his chest could have started for the, for the 51 packers, you know, Dude, I remember back.

[Ginger James]

In the day when the Eagles used to do those, those tryouts, man. Oh, my God. The community was able to go out to the field and actually like 99 of the people coming out just, you know, had these jobs where they couldn't play football anymore, but they could be superstars if they tried it out there, you know, they were superstars, man. I missed those days of football. I would go out in the field and try. Who wouldn't, you know, if you got an opportunity to play for the Packers? Oh, heck yeah, man. I look stupid if I have to, but I'm going on the field, man.

[Miles]

I actually had an opportunity to play with the Packers, Charles.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, hang on just a second.

[Miles]

Wait.

[Charlie Barrons]

Let's get it out here. Get out the yearbook.

[Ginger James]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, there was no dust on that. We must have just brought that out the last time. Tell us about it.

[Miles]

I had an opportunity to play with the packers, but then I hurt my knee.

[Charlie Barrons]

Really?

[Ginger James]

Is that, was that, was that when you were sliding to hand the water to him or was that refilling the water?

[Miles]

This was in high school.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, high school.

[Miles]

But there was murmurs, you know, there was, there was, you know, like the online forms that all of the local drunk dads get on and argue about high school football. They were talking Packers.

[Charlie Barrons]

They were talking.

[Miles]

Now the jury's out on if they meant the Green Bay packers or like a packer at a packaging plant. On that one. But I, my mom interpreted it as a packer.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, yeah, that's, that works too. I mean, it's all the same.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. Yep. Your dad interpret his Amazon workout warehouse also.

[Miles]

That's a great stand up bit, Charlie. You can use that in your next special.

[Charlie Barrons]

I might steal that.

[Miles]

Like, I, I, you know, everyone thought I was going to be a packer growing up.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, dude, I thought I was going.

[Miles]

To be at the packaging plant and.

[Charlie Barrons]

I just missed the cut for the Amazon warehouse. That's not a bad bet.

[Ginger James]

Still have the pads and put them on here and there?

[Miles]

Me?

[Ginger James]

Yeah. Do you, do you put on the pads? Do you still have pads and like, reenact, you know, that time of your life, once in a while, hit the couch, you know. You know, like the little Giants. When you have the wife hold the. The. The couch cushion and puts her right to a window. Put them right through the window because she was so scared of moves out of the way.

[Miles]

Yeah, that happened to me last year when I was cleaning. We were cleaning out some stuff because we were having a kid. And I found my old football helmet and I put it on for an afternoon and did that around the house, you know.

[Charlie Barrons]

They let you keep the helmet?

[Miles]

I. I just took it.

[Charlie Barrons]

You just took the helmet?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

I actually took a helmet, too. I got a helmet from my days in peewee football.

[Miles]

Nice.

[Charlie Barrons]

It don't fit anymore.

[Miles]

Don't lie. You didn't take it. You forgot to bring it back.

[Charlie Barrons]

A thousand percent.

[Ginger James]

They're still looking for you for that hundred dollars deposit. Dude.

[Miles]

So on your voicemail you said that you were wondering if you could live in any era ever, what would you choose? Is that accurate? That's what you were wondering?

[Ginger James]

Yes.

[Miles]

So what would you choose?

[Ginger James]

Okay. So my biggest thing has been the western days. I feel like the westerns have really given me. I don't know, I feel like it's inspirational. In the Western age, you could be anybody. Back in those days, you could. You could be a villain. You could be a villain one day, and the next day you decide to be the sheriff of the city. You know, it's this. The western days are so. There's so much options, so many options to live that life. But lately I've been watching a lot of. I'm not gonna lie, but a lot of watching a lot of the Grease or, you know, Grease movies. Not Sean Travolta, Greece, but the Grease, you know, degrees 300, all that kind of stuff.

[Charlie Barrons]

So now what the hell are you talking about? What are you talking about?

[Ginger James]

You know. You know, like, when they go into the arena and there's lions and stuff, they have to fight in the arena and they get one little, like, gladiator knife or sword?

[Charlie Barrons]

The Greeks. Not the Greeks.

[Ginger James]

Oh, I said reef.

[Miles]

Oh, G R E E, C E.

[Charlie Barrons]

Now I get it now.

[Ginger James]

Is that Greece? The gladiator days, was that Greece?

[Miles]

Roman, Coliseum, Rome?

[Charlie Barrons]

The Roman Empire, I think.

[Ginger James]

Okay, Roman, yes. So now I've been watching those movies lately, and I. I mean, those guys died. Gladiators, they died with honor and respect. Yeah, they were thrown into a pit and laughed upon and treated like animals. But those guys actually died with honor in the situation they were in.

[Miles]

And that's the days you were, you.

[Ginger James]

Know, you were shot and the dog peed on you, you know, so I don't know, it's kind of. I'm torn between the two now.

[Miles]

Yeah, I mean, the way you describe gladiators, basically you're a modern day gladiator as a ginger, you know, you get thrown in, you get laughed at, you, whatever. And then you're someday gonna die with honor.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, you're right, man. We're gonna buy. We know. You know, we have our own gravesite too, right? There's actually a secret gravesite where only gingers are buried. It's a myth that people think is a myth, but it's not a myth.

[Charlie Barrons]

What's the cemetery called?

[Ginger James]

It is called gingeritis and it's made to sound like a disease because if it's a disease, nobody's going to want to show up and go visit people there. You know what I mean? So. Keeps the people away and that helps. So the ginger virus is called the gingivitis grounds.

[Miles]

It also seems like this is going to sound intensive. It seems a little silly to, you know, have a cemetery for just gingers. None of their souls are there.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, that's true, that's true. That's why we don't put crosses at the grave. We actually put a circle of lemons all the way around each grave because just that's the way our lives were very sour, you know, we never got the satisfaction of anything, you know, and it's just we like to keep everything really just dying on that site. No flowers, no nothing like that because that shows that we had life and we don't got life like that, you know? So, yeah, there was a lot going into that, into the thoughtfulness of the grave site.

[Miles]

Okay. So you'd be a, a cowboy or a sheriff or a outlaw or a gladiator. So you wanted.

[Ginger James]

Yes, that. Yeah, I guess that's a ginger way, man. We were just naturally aggressive creatures.

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Ginger James]

You know, anything that's fun or exciting, we just get amped up and we just overdo it. So that's just, that's just me. I just want to be in the arena, man, going crazy.

[Miles]

Yeah, I like it. I think I would like to be in Jesus's era. Really? Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

What would you be in Jesus's era?

[Miles]

Well, so if you think about it, you're like, hey, the wine was really good. Yeah. You're like, ah, we ran out of beer and you can be like, well, I know a guy, you know. Yeah, you get born, you get born blind. Yeah, I know a guy. I know a guy, you know, you, you die.

[Ginger James]

That's a good Guy to know, too.

[Miles]

Your family's gonna be like, we know a guy. Don't worry about it.

[Ginger James]

Listen, but what. What happens when the day comes when you say, you know that guy used to know? Well, you know, something happened. I don't know that guy.

[Miles]

Well, no, you could be like, no, he's not dead.

[Charlie Barrons]

He's coming back.

[Miles]

Just. You gotta be patient. Give him. Give me three days. He'll be back, I promise.

[Ginger James]

So you're a magician too?

[Miles]

Dude, this is crazy, bro.

[Ginger James]

This is crazy, man.

[Miles]

Yeah, your. Your beer guy died. You're like, give me skill. Three days.

[Charlie Barrons]

Hold on.

[Sally]

Hold your breath.

[Charlie Barrons]

You go fishing. You go fishing. And, like, I only got three fish. Ah, hang on one second.

[Miles]

Just take that net, put it on the other side of the boat. Trust me.

[Charlie Barrons]

He said put the net on the other side. Was he freaking crazy? It's the same drink. Just do it. Holy. He was right. Holy is right.

[Miles]

Jesus Christ was right.

[Ginger James]

I swear, dude, I could just see you hanging out on the boat with Jesus. And he pees on one side of the boat, and the whole side of the freaking side of the water he's peeing on. Just fish galore. Popping out of the water. We love you, Jesus. Your pee is golden to us.

[Charlie Barrons]

You're like.

[Miles]

You get on the boat and you're like, ah, God damn, I forgot my net on shore. He's like, don't worry. I'll be right back. And just runs over to shore, rips.

[Ginger James]

Off a shirt, and it just extends a thousand feet.

[Miles]

This is like a Jedi. He just goes, holds his hand up and then just comes to his hand. So I think that'd be a pretty good era to be in, except there's.

[Charlie Barrons]

One day where you're gonna be like, hang on. Yeah, let me get Jesus for that. Jeez. Where'd Jesus go? Oh, he's in the desert. The hell is he doing out there? Nobody knows.

[Miles]

Just. Yeah, he's just. Apparently he's been out there for, like, 36, 37 days or so. I don't know. It could be a long time. Really?

[Charlie Barrons]

What's he doing out there?

[Ginger James]

Dude, you're looking kind of pale. He said you need to get. You know, get some sun, dude. That's what you needed. What about you, Charlie? What's your era, man? Come on now.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, man, I'd be. I'd be in the. You know, the. So it's kind of wild. You think about the first guys who were, like, sailing, you know, and they're like, I think if we just go that way, A while we might run into something else or we'll fall off the edge. Or we'll fall off the edge of the.

[Miles]

Either way. Yeah, let's do it.

[Charlie Barrons]

And whatever we run into, we're just gonna say it's America. And yeah, who gives a. Yeah, we got guns. Yeah, we got guns and disease, you know?

[Ginger James]

Hey, gingerbread is all the way, dude. I'm all about it, man. We'll spread the love, dude. We will spread the love.

[Charlie Barrons]

Just bring a lot of oranges with.

[Miles]

That's exactly what I was gonna say. You know, the only. Our plan is we don't. I don't know if we can keep enough oranges for long enough.

[Charlie Barrons]

We really need citrus.

[Ginger James]

Actually, I actually had a complaint about oranges the other day. I was going to my. I was going to my nephew's football party or football games and you know the little flag football they got now, and I couldn't believe there were. There was no, not one orange slice on the field. And I really lost my. Lost my stuff, man. I said, where the orange slices? I remember that was the halftime gig, man. You get the orange slice in the Capri sun. And it. It was ready for round two. Let's go. I'm ready to hit somebody.

[Charlie Barrons]

What are they doing now?

[Ginger James]

They're giving them Oreos.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oreos.

[Ginger James]

Oreos.

[Miles]

I said, what?

[Ginger James]

My mom would have beat my. My ass if she saw an Oreo in my hand before dinner.

[Miles]

Are you kidding me?

[Ginger James]

She would have whooped my butt, man.

[Miles]

That is very true. Yeah. I can't believe we used to do like watermelon at t ball games.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, yeah, nice little, nice little slice there. The orange slices that.

[Ginger James]

It has the water in it, which is supposed to help you hydrate because kids don't want to drink water. They rather drink all the juices and stuff. So it was made to help us without us knowing it. But I don't know what's going on with these generations anymore, man. It's kind of crazy. We can have a whole nother topic on that.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, we could. I'm honestly surprised that they're even allowing Oreos a lot. You know, I'm sure there's some parents there with the Yucca app, like. Oh, we can't.

[Miles]

Yeah, they're vegan Oreos, right? Yeah, they're plant based Oreos.

[Sally]

Milk.

[Ginger James]

That's not real milk, dude. Okay? That's homemade milk.

[Miles]

Yeah, you gotta understand, almond cream is what it is. It's not whatever the cream is made of in real Oreos. I don't know like, especially a little.

[Ginger James]

Sweeter too, you know, Those Oreos are sweeter. So.

[Miles]

So you want to be Ferdinand Magellan just sailing the seven seas?

[Ginger James]

Dude, that's kind of cool.

[Charlie Barrons]

I mean, you. Dude, think about how crazy that is, though.

[Miles]

What would be your captain name? You know, you got Captain Blackbeard. You got. What would be yours?

[Charlie Barrons]

I'd be Captain Chuck. Captain Chuck. And I'd have a boo box, for sure. I'd have a Boo box on there. I'd be like crabbing everywhere we go. We gotta get more crabs for the boo box, you know?

[Sally]

The whole freaking ship's full of crap.

[Ginger James]

We ain't got no workers left. Oh, dang it.

[Charlie Barrons]

I just, I. Yeah, I just. I really liked Captain Hook, you know, in the Peter Pan movie. And. And Hook, you know, I was just. He's got.

[Ginger James]

I was just gonna say that. Dud. Captain Hook's real name was Killian Jones. And my last name is actually Killian, so in a way, I'm supposed to be a pirate.

[Charlie Barrons]

You're an Armenian with the last name Killian, huh?

[Ginger James]

Irish and Armenian.

[Charlie Barrons]

Irish and Armenian. All right. Nice.

[Ginger James]

Interesting mix. I know people kind of turn their eyes on me like, huh. But I'm a. I'm a darker, taller, voluptuous gingeritis. All right.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. What's your deal? You got. You got a gal.

[Ginger James]

I have a gal. She's standing right next to me. The beautiful soul in my life. We just spent our four year relationship yesterday.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, congratulations.

[Ginger James]

Thank you. Thank you. I'm actually very happy. And we are planning our future and what looks like we want to go live on some land and kind of start doing that with our lives.

[Charlie Barrons]

Does she like Wisconsin? Oh, she doesn't.

[Ginger James]

I don't know how she would do in the cold. She has a lot of cute little outfits, but I don't know. I don't know if her. Wisconsin proof.

[Miles]

Also, I like when he was like, I'm really happy. Just sounded like she's standing with a gun to his head as he's talking.

[Ginger James]

Yes, it was a 12 gauge, but, you know, but it's still scary, dude. Okay. It's still scary.

[Miles]

Yeah, I know. Yeah. You can't move here if she's going to be unhappy because, you know, happy wife, happy life, life, the whole thing.

[Ginger James]

That's true. And honestly, dude, I watch a lot of videos of the snow and stuff out there. I don't know if I could do it after living out here for so long and that much thick of snow every day. Having to get your car ready Every day. Bitching and moaning about snowing again. Every day. Every day. I don't know, man. I love Green Bay. I love it. But as far as the city goes, I don't know if I can commit.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, you'll be fine.

[Miles]

Well, the question is, is do you have commitment issues? Are you married or are you guys just dating?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, four years. What's going on?

[Ginger James]

We're dating. Yeah, I know, I know.

[Miles]

What's. Because I had a relations. Oh.

[Ginger James]

It was really, it was really ugly. My last relationship. I don't want to get into details, but it was really ugly. And that was actually the first long term relationship I've ever been in. Like seven years. And no marriage was in that one. But it was just an ugly thing. And I, I made a lot of mistakes in our relationship, which everyone does. It's normal. And she made a lot of mistakes also. And it happens. But I've just been really. I, I don't jump into things very quickly anymore. I know four years is a long time, but it takes a, I feel like it takes a lot more than four years to get to know somebo. You know, after four or five years, you know, even just because you're farting underneath the blankets, you know, doesn't make you know each other, you know, I, I, okay, you fart, I fart. You know, that's not part of relationship that we need to, you know, get comfortable with.

[Miles]

Yeah, you need to at least go through like three or four Turk toe curling shits together.

[Ginger James]

There we go.

[Miles]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Ginger James]

You walk in the bathroom and your nose just turns inside out and you're like, oh my God, I love this woman so much. You know, she is just like me now. Like that's when you know you're getting closer to your lady, you know, which is like more like you.

[Miles]

Yeah, that's tr. True. And then, yeah, you just eventually form into the same human being and that's marriage.

[Ginger James]

Exactly. Your church started looking the same. Like, dude, how did you get three pieces of corn and I got three pieces of corn? Like we are meant to be, bro. You know what I mean? Like that is just the way I feel like life has to be.

[Charlie Barrons]

What do you do for work? Are you a salesman?

[Ginger James]

I tried doing sales. Man, I am so embarrassed to talk to people. I'm very. When I get warmed up and get knowing people is when you really get to know me. But I'm a very recluse person. I don't go out and communicate. I maybe have a Handful of friends that I talk to because I don't trust anybody.

[Charlie Barrons]

Were you a drug dealer? What do you do?

[Ginger James]

I don't sell, man. I'd rather do it, you know, it's a funner that way. Like selling just you looking over your shoulder when you do it. You don't have to look over anybody's shoulder. You know, you just sleep.

[Charlie Barrons]

How many times do I have to ask you what you do for a living for you to avoid that?

[Ginger James]

I do a lot of different things at the moment. My last job right now I'm on unemployment because I'm going through legal circumstances. I don't know, that sounded pretty professional, but legal circumstances. So right now I'm on employment. But my. I do have a really big work history. I do a lot of construction. I do a lot of farming. I've drive tractors. So I'm like a jack of all trades. I guess you could say my resume is pretty stacked with just a lot of different work. I think I could survive in Wisconsin if I didn't have a family because I would be able to work my butt off.

[Charlie Barrons]

And I know you guys, I like that.

[Ginger James]

Probably have some good hard workers out there. So I'm an advocate for hard workers and showing up to work and not being lazy and making a life yourself. But out here in California, it seems like 90 of these people do not want to work and do not want to, you know, have some honor when they die, like gladiators. So I don't know, man, it kind of sucks.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, listen, we hope that you find a job or a time machine and can live out, live it out, my guy. And good luck with the lady, you know, in about two, three, seven years, you propose to her and. And you make you start having some nice little ginger babies.

[Ginger James]

Oh, I'm gonna wreak the world full of a man and they're gonna wreak havoc Trust we will run the world one day. We're not there yet. Look, we got close with Trump, right? He's almost ginger. If you look at his hair, he's got a little red in there. So we're getting close, man. We're getting close to ruling the world, dude. We warn people of this.

[Charlie Barrons]

We warn people of this.

[Ginger James]

We warned them, dude.

[Miles]

I like. All right, man, well, thanks for calling in today. This was great. And you know. Yeah, just thanks for calling it. This is fun.

[Ginger James]

Yeah, no problem. Thank you, guys, man, I'm really, I'm. I'm so honored to talk to some celebrities online, man. First time ever. And I really hope you Guys, keep thriving and keep doing good with your business. And can't wait to watch more videos of you guys.

[Charlie Barrons]

We appreciate you, my guy. You watch for deer out there.

[Ginger James]

Oh, I will, man. There's a lot of them.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right.

[Ginger James]

All right, guys. All right. Later.

[Miles]

I've never heard it. No one's. No one's ever answered you that way. No one's. When you said, watch out for dude, no one said. Ever said. Yeah, there's a lot of them out there. Like that.

[Charlie Barrons]

Driest sarcasm ever.

[Miles]

The Internet gives a lot of shit to people who call themselves neurodivergent or what. Neural divergent or whatever. Like, that's not a real thing. They say that guy might be his brain works in ways that mine can't.

[Charlie Barrons]

I know. He was. Just put a quarter in that guy.

[Miles]

I know. That was great.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. And then he said he. He's like, usually. Usually not talkative to people he doesn't know. I'm like, dude, you've been going forever. That's why I say that guy should get in sales, you know, can probably sell a horse's ass to a fully functioning horse, you know?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

You know.

[Miles]

You know our guy, Mr. Nicolay? Oh, yeah, the people's lawyer.

[Charlie Barrons]

The people's lawyer.

[Miles]

The insurance company's nightmare. Well, you know what I was talking to him about the other day?

[Charlie Barrons]

What were you talking about?

[Miles]

That we people don't think enough about dog bites. It happens a lot. It happens.

[Charlie Barrons]

Conversation.

[Miles]

It is. It's a lot. Happens a lot more than people think.

[Charlie Barrons]

Really?

You ever get bit by a dog, Miles?

[Miles]

I haven't, but I know a guy who did.

[Charlie Barrons]

What happened?

[Miles]

And I knew another.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, the guy, the guy.

[Miles]

Well, he got bit by a wiener dog, so he decided not to sue because it's too embarrassed. You can't go out like that.

[Charlie Barrons]

Really?

[Miles]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

So he got bit by a wiener dog.

[Miles]

But if you get bit by anything but a wiener dog, huh? Call Nicolette.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, what if it's a real wiener dog? When can you sue after you've gotten bit by a wiener?

[Miles]

You can. It's just, you know, you want to go out like that.

[Charlie Barrons]

I want to go out like that.

[Miles]

Okay. Well, guys, if you've been bit by a dog, you got to call Nicolay. Charlie. What if you got bit by a dog?

[Charlie Barrons]

I was just bit by a dog.

[Miles]

Really?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Miles]

Was it a wiener? Talk.

[Charlie Barrons]

No one.

[Miles]

Yeah, that was a puppy. That wasn't a dog.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, it's a puppy. It's just nipping at me, you know, Got bit Multiple times.

[Miles]

So you're going to sue your employee?

[Charlie Barrons]

No, I don't think that would look good. But I could. What if I sued my company? Could that get me some insurance? Now I'm thinking about this, Miles.

[Miles]

Well, if you're confused, as a lot of people are when they've been bitten by a lot by a dog.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Call Nicolet. He's gonna be able to answer all your questions.

Yeah, yeah. Anyways, that's a good thing to know, Miles, because there are a lot of dogs out there.

[Miles]

What did you. Yeah, what did you do when you got bit? What'd you say to the dog?

[Charlie Barrons]

I said sometimes, Miles, that mean to it I was a little. I laid down the law. Sometimes, Miles, I will say a dog's bark is bigger than its leash. But other times a dog's leash is longer than his bite. And when the dog's leash is longer than his bite, it's time for you to fight. And that is when you call. Nicolette.

[Miles]

Ladies and gentlemen, 1-855-Nicolette Nicolette.

You got chopstick ambition, Sal. You woke up 2024 and you're like, you know what? 2025, that's going to be the year of the chopsticks.

[Miles]

But the thing is. That's right, but it's not even to learn how to use chopsticks, it's just to use them a little bit more.

[Sally]

You know, actually I have to learn how to use them in the first place.

[Miles]

Oh, okay.

[Sally]

I found a couple of sets in the, in the junk drawer.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Sally]

And that's what really inspired me to say, hey, these are a little dusty. You know, maybe they're under the set of keys that I don't even know what the hell the keys are for. We got some batteries in here and like That I make chopsticks. This is good. And I want to use them for various foods. Not just Chinese food or sushi, too.

[Miles]

I mean, Korean barbecue.

[Sally]

I mean, you know, I'm like, they're going to waste here in the junk drawer. Let's get some good chopsticks and learn how to eat them.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, I'm very proud of you. I mean, that's not the typical New Year's resolution. We hear what's been. Did you look up a YouTube video on how to properly use chopsticks? Did you find a friend?

[Sally]

No, I just found the chopsticks in my junk drawer.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's the whole story here, huh?

[Sally]

That's about it. Now, since then, we've had a lot of leftovers in the fridge, so we haven't ordered Chinese food. So, you know, don't have any soy sauce in the COVID But, yeah, that's one of my New Year's resolutions. And I have all year long, you know, not. It's not like I have to use them by January 13th, you know, I. I have them. I. I have them. And that's the first step.

[Miles]

Well, and honestly, the first couple months is all mental work anyways. You know, you got to be. You're thinking about how you're going to attack it. What's the first food you're going to try with it? I have a very similar New Year's resolution. I want to solve an A Rubik's Cube without any help whatsoever. So in the corner? Yeah, I'm gonna put myself in a room.

[Sally]

By yourself in the corner?

[Miles]

Yep. Yep.

[Ginger James]

I am, Miles.

[Charlie Barrons]

Wow, that's impressive, Miles. I don't know what's harder to figure out, the chopsticks or a Rubik's cube, because everyone can kind of use chopsticks, but to use them the way they're supposed to be used. I don't even know if I'm using chopsticks.

[Miles]

You want to know what my wife does with chopsticks?

[Charlie Barrons]

Does she poke it?

[Sally]

What does she do?

[Miles]

See, you know how, like, the wood ones come where, like, you break them apart? Yeah, she doesn't break them apart. She just separates them a little bit.

[Sally]

And just pinches stuff and just pinches it. Oh, that's a cheater. I know that's a cheater there. My first is I'm gonna move them. I'm gonna move them from the junk drawer. I've already done this step. I moved them from the junk drawer two sets to the drawer with the spoons and the knives and the forks.

[Charlie Barrons]

So you look at them. Every time you want to eat, every time you're reminded, hey, I got a year to figure out this whole chopstick thing.

[Sally]

Correct.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's very ambitious.

[Sally]

Do you have wrapped in that. In that. In that paper? So, I mean, they're still clean.

[Charlie Barrons]

Take the next step today. Take that paper off.

[Miles]

Hey, don't rush her. Don't rush.

[Charlie Barrons]

I'm not trying to rush her. But for God's sakes, we're months into the year now. It's time to. It's time to take off the glove. Gloves.

[Miles]

Okay.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right, all right.

[Miles]

A little tough love from Barons over here.

[Charlie Barrons]

I'm just telling you.

[Sally]

Wow. You want me to use chopsticks with a glove? Oh, gosh, that's not gonna come till, like, October or November. Is that what I heard you say?

[Charlie Barrons]

No, I said take that. Well, yeah, you. I. I would like to see you just add a tailgate. Wearing gloves, using your chopsticks on some communal food. There's. That'd be great.

[Miles]

I mean, honestly, this is something that would crush on TikTok. You just go like, day one of attempting to learn how to use chopsticks, and then it's you just fumbling with them and not being able to use them. And then by day 40, you got it down, and then people lose their mind on it.

[Sally]

Here's what would be funny. If you're tailgating and you're wearing the snow gloves and you're at the Green Bay packers stadium, you're using drumsticks for chopsticks.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that would be funny.

[Sally]

How are you gonna.

[Ginger James]

I don't know.

[Charlie Barrons]

No, I. I like it, too. Don't lose faith in that idea. That's a good bit right there.

[Ginger James]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

You got the big gloves on, you know, the insulated ones, and you got some drumsticks. That's fun. That's good. I like what you're doing there.

[Miles]

Do you have an idea? Do you have an idea in your mind the first food you're gonna attempt this with, or are you just gonna let it happen?

[Sally]

Well, it's not going to be Cheerios. I'll tell you that much right now.

[Miles]

That was. What I was going to suggest was Cheerios. Okay, well, that's off my list. What else are you thinking?

[Sally]

I'm thinking cubes of chicken and some broccoli.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. Very good. Why do they call it chopstick? You don't really chop with them. You ever think about that? You can stab. They could be stabbed. They're really like. They're. They're. They're holding sticks. Really?

[Sally]

But again, again, that's a beginner move. You separate the. The wooden chopsticks, you stab your chicken. That's not using chopsticks.

[Charlie Barrons]

No, they're not stabbing sticks. But what I'm saying is you're not chopping with the damn sticks either. Right, right. Like you're not chopping your broccoli.

[Miles]

You're kind of chopping a little bit. Kind of a little.

[Charlie Barrons]

In my thing. Miles.

[Miles]

Chop, pinch.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, they're pinch sticks.

[Miles]

They're pinch sticks. Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Because chop would mean something gets divided into two. Right.

[Miles]

You think it's like that? They're.

[Sally]

You're correct.

[Miles]

Do you think it's that they're chops of, like, bamboo?

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, that could be it.

[Miles]

Like, they, like, chop it and then make them into the sticks.

[Charlie Barrons]

It's also translated from Chinese or Japanese or. Right. So maybe the. You know, it's probably some. I want to figure out. Hey, can we figure out why they call chopsticks chopsticks? What are you doing on your phone over there?

[Miles]

Texting his girlfriend all day.

[Sally]

Oh, my gosh.

[Miles]

Who's texting their girlfriend on the job? Yeah, Jake is. Jake.

[Charlie Barrons]

How long you been dating her, Jake? Chopsticks, chop, chop. Say that again. They come from calling them chop chop. Like. They come from calling them chop. Like, chop chop. Cheerio. He.

[Miles]

He's. He's been no help.

[Charlie Barrons]

Did you just Google it? Is that what the. The AI on Google says? Cuz that's.

[Ginger James]

Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right. Anyways, you keep digging on that.

[Miles]

So you're going with cubes of chicken.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right.

[Miles]

I like that.

[Sally]

Actually, no.

[Ginger James]

Nope.

[Sally]

I just changed my mind.

[Charlie Barrons]

Okay.

[Sally]

I'm going with deep fried cheese curds.

[Charlie Barrons]

There we go.

[Sally]

Once I learn how to use chopsticks, my first food, my very first food after practice will be a deep fried cheese curd. Culver's. And I'm gonna dip it.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, wow.

[Miles]

Okay. You're getting crazy.

[Charlie Barrons]

This is ambitious. Is this your only New Year's resolution?

[Sally]

No, I had another one, but I forgot what it was. Oh, I remember.

[Miles]

Yeah, I remember, too.

[Sally]

It. I kind of forgot, like, what I call. Because it was like, back in January when I got. I think it was, like, to not use vacation time or pto.

[Miles]

That's not. What. Until March.

[Charlie Barrons]

What did she say?

[Miles]

Oh, wait, maybe. Nope, nope. That's not. You want to learn how to moonwalk, Sally? That was. That was the other one.

[Sally]

That was the other one. Yeah. Because I couldn't remember for the life of me when I finally got your text Message. And I was like, holy smokes. I did call in about two New Year's resolutions, and I remembered the chopsticks. And I couldn't remember the first one. I was like, was it not to use Ptolemy or was it to learn how to moonwalk? And then it came to me the other day, and then I second guessed myself. But anyway. Yeah, yeah, that's my next. That's my number two resolution.

[Miles]

Yeah, I'll refresh your memory. You said that you got a wedding invite. Actually, you got a save the date magnet for your fridge.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's overkill.

[Miles]

And you said, holy smokes, I have to learn how to moonwalk, is what he said. And you said, I want to be the cool aunt who can do the moonwalk on the dance floor at the reception.

[Sally]

Well, there you have it.

[Charlie Barrons]

I gotta be honest with you, Sally. If you can both moonwalk and use chopsticks, I mean, you're gonna have a whole different life ahead of you.

[Miles]

And That's a full 20, 25 right there.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. New doors will start opening up.

[Miles]

If you can laugh, use chopsticks and moonwalk in a day. That's a full day. That's what Jimmy V. Said.

[Sally]

And I do have my step. My step number one on the moonwalk is I got the Michael Jackson Thriller album, vinyl, for my record player.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right.

[Sally]

So I got that.

[Charlie Barrons]

Have you listened to it yet?

[Sally]

Oh, heck yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Okay.

[Sally]

All right, well, I got a pretty sweet record collection going on right now, and I listen to it. Now. What I also have is a hardwood floor in my kitchen. And that is my surface. I'm looking at the surface, and I'm playing Michael Jackson on the record. And I'm just. What I'm doing is you start. You just walk backwards. That's how you start. So you just try that out. And then you get out of your. Then you get on socks, and then. Then you walk backwards in socks and you just build on it.

[Charlie Barrons]

Just build on it. You just start walking backwards, and before you know it, it's walk backwards, question mark, moon landing, smiley face.

[Miles]

I like that. I like how much mental prep work you do in this.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah.

[Miles]

Versus just looking at the chopsticks in the paper. Then she's gonna open it up and look at the chopsticks raw. Just like that. She puts the record player on. She's just getting a feel for the surface that she's going to be moonwalking on. I like that.

[Charlie Barrons]

Looking at the surface. She's got her socks on.

[Miles]

I don't.

[Charlie Barrons]

Rushing the process.

[Miles]

I don't think anyone would accuse you of jumping in head first. I don't think.

[Sally]

And then when you're looking at the surface, you're thinking, oh, my gosh, I should probably swiffer sweep that before I put on a fresh pair of socks and walk backwards.

[Miles]

Yeah, but. But the dust is going to help you slide better, so that's maybe.

[Sally]

Oh, that's a good point. Good point there.

[Miles]

I mean, if you. It's going to be an immovable object meeting an unsolvable force. In 2026, when your new Year's resolution is learn how to dive head first into something into the water, it's going to be. You just gotta dive head first.

[Sally]

And don't count your chickens before they're hatched because we don't have any here. We're not talking about 2026. We're talking about 2025 right here in the now. And yeah, that saved the day. I put it on the beer fridge. I should put it on the main fridge.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, you wanna remember it, you put it on the beer fridge.

[Miles]

Sally, you're using that way more. One thing, before we move on from the moonwalking, you might want to rest your Michael Jackson record for a sec. There's a Drake song where he actually explains how to do the moonwalk in the lyrics.

[Sally]

Wow.

[Miles]

You guys remember that?

[Charlie Barrons]

No.

[Miles]

Jake, what song is that? No, when Drake tells you how to moonwalk in the song.

[Sally]

Drake?

[Miles]

Yeah, he's like, right foot up, left foot slide. Left foot up, tootsie slide.

[Sally]

Oh, I remember that.

[Charlie Barrons]

That was.

[Miles]

Yeah. You didn't realize that he was just explaining how to do the moonwalk?

[Sally]

No, I did not. Are you guys jonesing me?

[Miles]

I'm not.

[Charlie Barrons]

I realize that. I don't think that's how you use Jones and so right foot up, left foot slide.

[Miles]

Okay, you're literally moonwalking.

[Sally]

Charlie, have the Cuban shuffle. Because I tried that many a times at my. On my niece's weddings. The Cupid Shuffle is not how they explain how to do the. The moonwalk.

[Charlie Barrons]

I got news for you. I got news for you. I just.

[Miles]

Charlie just moonwalked with my direction.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah. Yep. Actually Drake's direction. But I'm. I'm already beating you on your New Year's resolution. Sally, it's time to get in the game. All right? We're three months into this year. Let's start shaking off the dust, cracking the chopsticks. I'm your motivator here.

[Sally]

I love that and I love your inspiration and I love you guys. Listen to you. All the time. Charlie, I've met you in real life a few times. I've been to six of your shows, Miles. I listen to your podcast. I'm a patron right now, Patreon. Just keep on doing what you're doing. You guys make people laugh. And the world's not a fun place a lot of times, but if we can, you know, listen to you and, you know, love you up and you make everyone laugh. So I don't know, I'm getting corny now, but that's all I have to say about that.

[Charlie Barrons]

No, Sally, thank you. Thanks for. That's way too many of my shows for you to come to. My God, I gotta get you free tickets at some point.

[Sally]

No, you don't, because one of them was an accident.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, yeah.

[Sally]

Do we have any time? Okay, we do. You can edit this or whatever. So last year I went to see you in Bowler Wisconsin.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, at the casino.

[Sally]

Got tickets. I asked my husband to buy them for me for a super early birthday present. And he was like, okay. And so by the time I booked my tickets, the casino was out of rooms. And this is such a long story, but I'm going to cut to the chase. How I got. Okay, so we had to, like, book a hotel, like 40 minutes away. And we weren't going to drink and drive. And the hotel we stayed at had, like. It was like, owned by Amish people, this, that and the other. And I'm just not going to get into it too much. But so went. Okay. I could go on and on about this story. It was like the most craziest night of all. But the reason I. Part of the crazy part is I got to see you twice that night because I got tickets for the 10:30 show and we went to go get some merchandise before that show. No, I got tickets for the 6:30 show. And anyway, so we got to see the 6:30 show and it was great and we had great seats, got some merch, blah, blah, blah. I'm walking out of the venue into the casino, and this lady grabs me by the hand from behind, grabs me by the wrist. And she's like 60 older lady. And turns out her name is Brenda. And she's like, hi, I. Me and my wife bought tickets for this show and for the 10:30 show, but my wife is too drunk to go to the 10:30 show. So I put her in bed. Will you come to the 10:30 show and just grab me out of the blue? You know? And my husband is a few steps forward and, you know, he stops he turns around. He's usually talking to this nice older lady, not hearing the conversation. So I'm like. I'm like, okay. And she gives me the ticket, and she's like, left me back here. And she's drunk.

[Charlie Barrons]

Sounds like it.

[Sally]

Okay. I'm like, okay. So I go back to Sean, and I'm like, you'll never guess what, but this really nice lesbian gave me a ticket to the 10:30 show. He's like, are you sitting here? I'm like, no, here's the ticket. All right. So we go. Campbell. In the meanwhile of gambling before the 10:30 show, I see. Are you sitting down? I picture Charlie standing up. I see Miles sitting down right now.

[Charlie Barrons]

I was standing up. I sat down right before you said that, though.

[Sally]

I see Grandma Sue.

[Charlie Barrons]

You sound my Grandma sue, you know.

[Sally]

In the casino with her beautiful white hair and a little team of people around her. And I'm like, are you kidding? I'm trying to find my husband because he wandered into the casino not knowing that I got a free ticket. And on the. On the way to find my husband, I see Grandma Stool, and she has little people. Team of people around her. And, you know, and I wasn't. I wasn't sneaking. I wasn't anything, but I'm like, that is Grandma Sewell.

[Miles]

Your grandma's got a posse.

[Charlie Barrons]

She was.

[Miles]

She's got a whole team.

[Charlie Barrons]

My grandma was gambling up a storm that night. She won $1,800. I think. I think that was the night after she lost all her money. But you found her there, and then what happened?

[Sally]

I didn't say a word. I didn't say a word. But I saw the posse as. As we said. And I'm like, You know, I'm like. Kind of like keeping my distance. I'm like, she is. Oh, my gosh. I love her so much. I've seen her in so many pots, you know, And I was never gonna say anything, but she found her slot machine and sat down, and I walked behind, and I was looking, but I wasn't looking. And it wasn't creeping, but I was creeping. But, you know, and I just. I'm like, oh, my God. My night is 100% fulfilled.

[Charlie Barrons]

You were stalking my grandma.

[Miles]

And so instead of going to the 10:30 show, you watched Picasso paint at the slot machine, and she just put on a show and won eighteen hundred dollars in front of you?

[Sally]

No, I didn't watch her. I was on my way to find my husband to let him know I got a free ticket to the 10:30 show, and I saw Grandma sue on the way.

[Charlie Barrons]

She didn't say hi or nothing.

[Sally]

Okay, so it's not over yet. So I get to the 10:30 show, and Brenda is waiting there for me. It's right like we said. She's even drunker now. And we walk into the 10:30 show, and her seats were better than mine. I mean, there's not a bad seat in the house. Her seats were better than mine at the 10:30 show. So I'm, like, talking to her, and I'm trying to talk to her and stuff. And, you know, I'm just like, oh, my God, Charlie's so close. Oh, this is so great. And I look over at one time, and Brenda is tipped back. Her neck is tipped back, and her mouth is a gape. And Brenda's snoring. And I'm like, jesus Christ, Brenda. I'm thinking to myself, I am your second date because your first wife is, like, too drunk to attend this show, and you're staying in the casino. Like.

[Miles]

God. Jesus Christ.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, So I put her to sleep. I put Brenda to sleep. Huh?

[Sally]

She. No, it wasn't you. It must have been the Charlie Baron Brandy.

[Ginger James]

I don't know.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, my God. That's hilarious.

[Sally]

Okay, so then I gotta get Brenda back to cindy in room 506.

[Miles]

So, what, you fireman carried her through the casino or what? What?

[Sally]

I just left her.

[Charlie Barrons]

You laugh.

[Miles]

You just left her?

[Sally]

No, I stayed for the whole show, but of course it was going to. But then it was like, okay, how am I gonna get Brenda back to her wife that was too drunk from the show? I got her back to her.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, go ahead, say it.

[Miles]

Could. Could have been. It could have been a Weekend at Bernie situation. You could have put some sunglasses on.

[Charlie Barrons]

Her and put her at the door.

[Sally]

Yeah, so I did know what her room number was and her name. And so I kind of, like, wake her up, and she kind of. I take her by the hand. You know, my. My wife dates. Get her back to room 506. We're banging on the door. Cindy opens it up.

[Miles]

You guys are banging on the door.

[Charlie Barrons]

Wasn't me.

[Sally]

I had to be responsible. I mean, Jesus Christ, she gave me a free ticket to the Charlie Baron show. It's like, you know, pass it on kindness kind of a. Get her back to the hotel room that her wife is at. And she answers the door. Now she's drunk again. I'm like, can you just. You just take her? I just. Here you go. All right. So then I got back down at the casino. Found my husband. And I didn't even tell you about the. About the ride. The ride from this. This awful hotel that we were at was like 40 minutes long. Hubby couldn't find an Uber in Bowler Wisconsin to get us to the casino in the first place. It was like a 30, 40 minute ride. So he finally finds some people that are not Uber, but they do kind of taxi cab, but they weren't that night of Charlie's shows. And he finally. He finally finds one, and they Uber us back, back and forth to the casino. And their cab smelled like the devil's lettuce. Like you wouldn't believe. Like they had gone to the farmer's market and beyond. So we hopped into Uber in Bowler Wisconsin for like 40 bucks to get us to the casino in the first place to see Charlie. My husband's like, oh, I just don't. I don't. The devil's asparagus. I just don't. You know, I'm like, okay. You know, we're at the farm and I'm like, they're getting us there safely. Okay. They agree to pick us up on the way back. So after I bring Brenda to Cindy, I find my husband back in the casino. I'm like, okay, let's call that Uber, people, whatever. To get back to the hotel. Hotel. And he said, okay. And so we hop in the car, they showed up, and lo and behold, they had been grocery shopping again at the farmer's market. And we get back to the hotel, and my husband is. Has passed out on the window with his cheek like this and his mouth is like this. Once again, I was like, thank you for the safe ride. And I have to, like, help slap him across the pit and get him in the hotel room that night. It's like my job wasn't done.

[Charlie Barrons]

Anyway, it was a great night. Yeah, sounds like it. My gosh. I think your husband got a little contact tie there on the way back. Well, thanks for coming to see the show. Twice. My God, six times. Six times, but twice that night.

[Sally]

One of them was in Sheboygan.

[Charlie Barrons]

Really? Oh, yeah. At the Weil center, huh?

[Sally]

Yep. And that one, not Brig. I did bring a Charlie Barron's virgin. She drove in from Beaver Dam to see your show with me and she. Yep, that's my best friend.

[Miles]

I didn't know that's what they called them. Him I lost my Charlie Baron's virginity in. Was it 2022 maybe when we first met? Yeah.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, now that 2019, I didn't see.

[Miles]

A show for a couple years.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, when you saw the show?

[Miles]

Yeah, that's what a Charlie Baron's virgin is.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, I thought you meant when we met. Miles did time on my show. Tell Miles he should do stand up.

[Sally]

I want to tell Miles so bad that he wants to do that. He should do stand up. Yeah, I would go. See, I listen to the. You betcha radio all the time. Time.

[Miles]

Well, I appreciate it.

[Sally]

And you're so damn funny. You're so great. And impromptu, both of you. Choose that if you feel comfortable with it, you know, Keep on making the world laugh, man.

[Miles]

Yeah, I like to spend too much time at home to be a stand up comedian.

[Sally]

Yeah, well, you kind of have a different life now, and that's a good thing too, you know?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah, it's a good thing too.

[Sally]

All right.

[Miles]

I just.

[Sally]

Well, we better slap the knee once. You guys want to go on? I mean, I got time. I took PTO this afternoon just to raise home and talk to you guys.

[Charlie Barrons]

So much for that resolution.

[Sally]

I went. I went way bed on that.

[Miles]

Also, also, I. I like, I like. You call in, you say your New Year's resolutions, and then we're like, what was that second New Year's resolution like? Oh, yeah, I remember. It was something that you didn't say at all. You're just bullshitting us this whole time.

[Charlie Barrons]

Did you ever do effectively do a New Year's resolution, Sally?

[Sally]

Yes, actually, I resoluted to put chapstick on more often. Yep, yep. And also, also, this is a really bad one, but this is one I absolutely stick to is to not litter out of my car windows. You and that, that one came. Oh, back in Frick 2012. So stuck to that one.

[Charlie Barrons]

Congratulations, McDonald's.

[Miles]

What were you doing in 2011? You were just launching garbage out the window.

[Sally]

Well, that was before such recycling was cool. I was like, you know what I'm gonna do that my New Year's rescue. New Year's resi.

[Miles]

Well, I like how all our resolutions are just like. It's either like something that normal people just do all the time, or it's like, yeah, my New year's resolution for 2025 is just to not commit any crimes. If I can just stay out of jail, it's going to be a good year.

[Sally]

Or like, no, my New year's resolution for 2025 is too collect. Collect more magnets. I really need to do that.

[Miles]

Just stuff doesn't stay on her fridge. You know, she tries to put stuff up there. Just doesn't have enough magnets.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, Sally, listen, this has been a lot of fun. Thank you for. Thank you for enlightening us.

[Sally]

Well, you're welcome. Really glad talking to you guys. Hey, Charlie. Yeah, not too bad. Not too big or anything, but I am done with my very first bottle of Charlie Barron's brandy.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, you want another bottle?

[Sally]

Hubby brought it home for Valentine's Day. My first bottle ever. It wasn't at the normal discount liquor store that I go to, but he found it at festival here in Sheboygan, and he brought it home for Valentine's Day with flowers. And I was like, I am putting this in the booth cabinet, and I'm not gonna touch it.

[Miles]

You drink a bottle. You drank a bottle of Baron's Brandy in five days.

[Sally]

It is delicious. It is so delicious. And I have this teeny, tiny glass that says, oh, oh. And so that's how I taste tested it. So we were. And then there's Valentine's Day in there, you guys.

[Miles]

Oh, what is that all about?

[Sally]

I would love an autographed bottle of. Of Harley Baron's brandy.

[Charlie Barrons]

Hey, you've been to six shows.

[Sally]

I mean, I don't have George. I don't have George Clooney autographed tequila like Miles does.

[Miles]

So, I mean, what. What was I supposed to do? That's all I had on me when I ran into Clooney was a tequila bottle. And it's why. Yeah, I felt bad. His friend was standing there not signing the bottle, so I had him sign it, too.

[Charlie Barrons]

Well, Sally, we're going to get your address. We're going to send you an autographed bottle of that brandy. All right?

[Sally]

Awesome. I'll keep it forever. Thanks, guys.

[Charlie Barrons]

All right. Let it last more than five days this time.

[Sally]

Okay, I'll try. Next New Year's resolution.

[Miles]

Make a bottle of brandy lasts six days.

[Charlie Barrons]

Thank you, Sally. We appreciate you.

[Sally]

Yeah, yeah, you too.

[Miles]

Have a good one. Hutch for deer, I have so many things to say. Number one, you got to use. You got to have her record your intro to you going on stage.

[Charlie Barrons]

I don't think I'd ever get on stage.

[Miles]

No, no, I mean, how Midwest her accent is.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, my God.

[Miles]

Pto. It was just. It was.

[Charlie Barrons]

It was butter.

[Miles]

It was perfect.

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, yeah, she's great, you know.

[Miles]

Oh, hey there, folks. Charlie Barnes.

[Charlie Barrons]

I love how when she was talking about that casino, she said three times she was just gonna give us the short version of that she spent more.

[Miles]

Anytime someone says, I'll just do the short version, you know, it's not gonna be the short version. So I Buckled in?

[Charlie Barrons]

Yeah, we sure did. Wow. Wow.

[Miles]

Well, Miles, if we had more time, I would have definitely asked her about that Amish hotel and what was going on there.

[Charlie Barrons]

But we should have.

[Miles]

But there was so much other stuff to process.

[Charlie Barrons]

Thought she was getting a horse and buggy ride to the casino the way she was talking about it.

[Miles]

Instead, she got a horse and buddy.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, marijuana. Well, Miles, there we have it. Another case of the bellied up.

[Miles]

Closed at the Old Town Tavern, Appleton, Wisconsin. It's my first time in Appleton, by the way.

[Charlie Barrons]

The way you like it.

[Miles]

I do.

[Charlie Barrons]

Here in the Big Apple, all I've.

[Miles]

Seen is College Avenue, because that's where we're at. And the airport is also on College Avenue.

[Charlie Barrons]

Oh, really?

[Miles]

I can't wait to explore.

[Charlie Barrons]

Wow, you flew into Appleton?

[Miles]

Big time.

[Charlie Barrons]

Spendy spendy.

[Miles]

Actually wasn't bad.

[Charlie Barrons]

Really? Fargo to Apple.

[Miles]

Sometimes a flight of Milwaukee.

[Charlie Barrons]

Was it direct Fargo to Appleton? No, Minneapolis in between. Yeah, little puddle jumper.

[Miles]

So, guys, if you're looking for a good bar in Appleton, you got to come to Old Town Tavern. It's a great spot. They have 32 years worth of tap handles on the wall. They told me they've been collecting them over 32 years. What? They said distributors aren't what they used to be. They don't let you keep the tap handles anymore.

[Charlie Barrons]

That's. Well, Miles, let's not forget what else they have. The beer Quality Claw. Sorry again about your pants and shirts.

[Miles]

No, it's fine. They're almost dry.

[Charlie Barrons]

So we'll go in the bathroom, finish that out. Okay, I'll blow dry the rest of them. All right, folks, we'll see you next week. Watch for deer.
