We got a green and camo version. We also have a black and yellow version. I think they look pretty good.
and yellow version. I think they look pretty good. It's wild when someone calls in and it's road hunting for ditch chickens and actually hits one like they did on the other episode.
So we decided to make a hat honoring road hunting for ditch chickens to find it on the
website. Now, oh you betcha.com. Enjoy the episode guys.
Okay, smokes. Here we are folks. Another edition of the belly up podcast. I'm here with my partner in crime. Miles, the you betcha guy. And you know
what? What's that pal presented by Flea Far.
Flea Far. We love it. Listen to that voice. You should record a country song.
Uh, you know, I'll stick to the background DJ Khaled vocals.
DJ mile.
Life is good on the porch.
Yeah.
That's great.
My tab is what?
Something like that, you know.
Yeah.
It's kind of more where I best suited.
But guys, great to have you back on another episode of the Belly to podcast.
It is.
And I'm sad to report that Miles is investing today.
I have invested my, uh, with a sad, uh, I did some pole tab investing.
And they tell you what, it's not that I lost.
Yeah.
It's that I just need to not quit. If I keep going, I got, I can still win.
You know, Miles, it's like I always always says just keep pulling your tab and some good
All happen okay, why are you looking down?
Father or looking down. Yeah, I wanted to do camera. No my grandpa had one of these but that's a great thing to bring up
I'm wearing my pull tab investing shirt right now. Oh, where can you get that?
I read what the back says it says pull tab investing spend a hundred100 to pull 20 Midwest USA. Where can you get those?
You bet you.com.
Oh,
Oh,
eight.
Oh, you bet.
Great for Christmas gift. Yeah, so
it's all the stuff at Man to walk man.com.
Also a great spot to get Christmas stuff
is yours. We have probably a lot more stuff on
all your bet you're com. We got bundles,
hats, we have shirts, great spot to get Christmas gifts. Great spot. All you betcha dot com
in a walk minute dot com. Yeah. But Charlie. Yeah, what's up? What kind of Christmas shopper
are you? All right. Well, you know, Christmas shopper time right now. All right. All right.
You know, I think we're both going to guess on the count of three as to which
Christmas shop. You already bought all your stuff in like June, right? I wait till the last
I wait till Christmas Eve every year to do it. I just I can't comprehend what it would
be like to not have to scramble right before Christmas. What would that be like? I don't know.
Why do why?
What is it about us?
Everyone else is normal.
We're in this.
Me and you is not how you should do it.
We are you know what?
This is my move a lot of times.
And I think this is becoming a lot of people's move like like putting a piece of paper
in an envelope saying what you got someone what you bought them off the internet like this is gonna come next week
And of course it doesn't come for two months. I have
The great move those they're back ordered. Yeah, I ordered this a couple months ago and it just hasn't gotten here yet
Supply chain wow speaking of supply chain, what you get?
I got a burger with some cheese curds there.
Holy smokes.
So good, dude.
You want to try one?
Wait, hardwood, they're doing it.
Yeah, but cheese curds.
Oh, man.
We're at the hardwood grill in Saloon
and hardwood in North Dakota.
Mm.
Wonder how they got their name.
I do, I always wanted that myself.
Good question.
So you're a wait to the last man guy to
It's amazing that we can run our companies. We can't let's be honest
It's amazing that we were able to have the knowledge to hire people to run our companies
That is amazing that much is amazing as you would say, Kreib's all friday, we are last minute guys.
We are last minute guys.
That's how it goes.
You know, and it would be nice
if we just took this podcast right now,
took her and been like,
Hey, this year it's going to be different.
We all know this year won't be different.
No, because we've stopped saying that.
And this podcast is even a last minute thing. you know, we're kind of like, okay, what are our strengths? Not preparing. Great.
How do we make a podcast? Make it about everybody else. Yeah. Make everybody.
What's the podcast we don't have to prepare for at all? Yeah. Hey, you guys do all the
work. Call in and ask us questions, you know, But we really enjoy stuff that comes in.
Honestly, this one, my favorite things are what we do.
Some of this stuff that's been brought up on this podcast,
we couldn't even come up with it.
We didn't come up with it.
That's the beauty.
It's built by the Midwest.
We are literally just sitting here at the bar.
We're bellyed up to the bar and this podcast is built by the Midwest.
I like that.
That's nice. Put that on
shirt. When are belly up shirts coming out? I don't know. We have to why we prioritize that,
you know, well, maybe buy this time when this podcast comes out, Charlie, maybe we'll
have some. Oh, maybe we will. Regardless, you got to, you're going to want to go to
Oh, you bet you.com and see if we have any belly up merch. At this point, they'd also be a man to augment that come.
What do you think the catch phrase should be on the belly up shirt?
Um, belly, uh, belly up to the bar with us.
I think if it just says belly up and it's just, it's just the back of us sitting against
a bar plumber plumber butts.
Yeah.
Bellied up with some plumber butts going on to cracks.
Uh, or, uh, so what I like about the sign on the wall here is reading that it's so funny
This could also be a belly-up shirt. It says bar phone fees
If someone calls the bar looking for Charlie and you want him to say not here. It's gonna cost you a dollar
You want him to say he's on his way out to the cost of two bucks. If you want the
bar tender to say that he just left, it's going to cause you three bucks. You wanted to
say, haven't seen him all day. That's a spending one. Yeah, it is. And the last one, my personal
favorite, this is the one that obviously is going to cost you the most. Who? It's not like Owl's.
Who, who, who, who?
That's the Owl rate right there.
And you must pay the bartender upon arrival.
Yeah, you can't, you got about,
you get it's like an insurance.
Man, that's a great sign.
I wonder who made that sign.
And you're just gonna rip that sign off
and put it on t-shirt?
I mean, I'm all for it.
I'm gonna, it won't be an actual metal sign
on your back, it'll be printed, but oh, yeah, that's changed enough.
Yeah.
So regardless, vibes are good here in the Harwood grill in saloon.
Yeah.
We think we're going to have some good collars coming here.
What do you think?
Let's get to it.
Let's get some collars in and when I eat the rest of these cheese
curds, they're good.
Hello, who do we got on the one?
Tony from Ohio, how you guys doing?
Tony from Ohio, what's cooking my guy?
Not much just got off work.
Where are you working?
S and T engraving down here in Youngstown, Ohio.
What kind of engraving?
Like we do laser engraving, but then we also do T-shirts and embroidery, the whole work.
Oh, wow.
All right.
You do tombstones.
That's kind of what I was wondering.
You know, we possibly could.
Possibly could.
Yeah, you can put the engraving engraving.
So what's on your mind?
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
You know, just call the little, do a little chit chat.
Yeah.
You get some advice.
Sure.
What will belly up to the bar?
Tell us what's on your mind.
Well, more specifically, I live in Polin, Ohio.
Well, if you know anything about Poland, it's a, I mean,
a big, but there's a lot of carons. If you know what I mean
so are you are you willing to throw this around? Are you willing to say that Paul and Ohio is the
Karen capital of the world?
Um I uh you know I don't know about that.
There's different types of
carons, but I maybe go as far as
they say it.
Okay.
All right.
Well, maybe Ohio then.
So why do you say that?
What's going on?
I feel like this is a setup.
Someone's going on with the
carons of Ohio.
Well, I mean, it's like it's like
anywhere Milwaukee, you know,
people are really nice, you know,
the Midwest nice. Yeah, but it's
just people down in Poland, Ohio,
they think they're, they think they're
right about everything, you know,
it's, I guess it's literally is
customers always right.
Oh, so you're dealing with this is
a work issue. You're dealing with this is a work issue.
You're dealing with people unhappy with their engraving.
Is that it?
Not necessarily that, but it's just everywhere I'm pulling.
I just use the analogy. Give us one scenario.
Give us one scenario where this really beefed your chopsticks, huh?
Okay, let's see. Uh, did work for a person brought in a Yeti to get engraved.
Oh, no, we've already heard enough from Matt.
You got an engraved Yeti.
All right, so what they want.
They wanted mom written on it right above the,
there's two Yeti sides.
There's the already silver Yeti.
Yeah.
And then there's like the Yeti where it's kind of pushed out a bit. Yeah
They wanted mom dad center
Above that and we did it, but it was a milk like a millimeter off center
One millimeter
It was like I'm exaggerating a bit, but yeah, it was not that far off, if you know what I mean.
And what they say, where you that you're her, what happened?
Well, she wasn't happy with it.
And we owned up to the mistake.
It wasn't a millimeter off or so.
So we're like, okay, we'll do the right thing.
We'll replace it for you.
And we'll get you a new one and do it up right.
Well then she was like, okay, well, okay, you can replace it, but then I also want the
original back.
What?
Yeah, so we're going to replace the one.
So this is the problem.
When you get into business with yeti owners, you're going to have to deal with a snobbery
that's unparalleled across
the entire universe.
Yeah, these are people who are perpetually unhappy because they're carrying around very
heavy coolers all the time.
They're unhappy about that.
They're unhappy about knowing that Charlie, you and I are walking around with a cheap
cooler.
Uh huh.
For way cheaper.
They do the same thing.
Call me.
They're mad about that.
Yeah. I just don't think people have had the They're mad about that. Yeah. I know.
I just don't think people have had the experience
with a you baddie cooler.
I know.
All a yeti is is two inch, two inch insulation foam wrapped
in plastic.
And that is it.
And you can build one on your own.
You go to the flea farm.
Flea farm.
We love it.
Two inch insulation foam.
And you and a little duct tape and you got yourself a Yeti cooler.
I just don't know where these carons are getting off at thinking that they can come
into your place, say it's a millimeter off and demand a new Yeti.
Do they know how much I mean, they do. But one Yeti could
sink an entire business. Yeah, you know, I think you should also develop this. And I think
you'd be a Magillionaire in the engraving world. You guys should come up with some white
out for the engraving, you know, a little white out goes a wrong way. Yeah, they probably have
no idea, you know, just something.
I mean, I mean, it kind of already exists, but I know you're saying just, you know,
Stan blasted and powder coat is a new color, but that's it.
You see what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or what you could do is just start gas letting her and making her feel, um, for even pointing
out that it's a millimeter off, right?
You could just settle down and go, okay.
Well, I don't even think you should own this cooler.
If you're gonna be looking at details like this,
do you, what do you put in there?
Just, you just put in salads in this thing,
you're not even putting beer in this cooler?
Clearly, you don't have any fun.
I would have doubled down on gaslighting
or a little bit. Wait. It's a cooler or mug
It was a tumbler tumbler
This whole time I thought it was a cooler. Yeah, I was like a millimeter off on a giant cooler doesn't seem like that big of a deal
Yeah, tumbler though
Well now now you, you know,
honestly, if she's drinking the right stuff out the Tumblr, it's going to look centered
anyway. So there you have it. Well, again, like I said, we replaced it, but she wanted
the original back after we were going to get for the corrected one. But what did you
want the original with an off-centered mom on it? It was off-centered. I'll give you that, Charlie. I don't know if I'd wanted it.
It was off-centered. That's a double-edged dagger.
Yeah, you know, I honestly, this is a toss up. Maybe how much did she pay for the engraving?
Oh, 10 cents a letter, $10 set up.
10 cents a letter?
No, $10.
No, $40 cents a letter, $10.
So $10.30. set up 10 cents a letter 10 no 40 cents a letter 10 dollars and
30 cents. That's it. You just
charging 10 cents a letter. Well,
the same as a 40 cents a letter.
Oh, 40 cents a dollar set up.
We're not good at listening here at
the belly up five. Yes.
So 11 20.
Just about yeah. And then but you
brought two of them. And so did you get the other one centered? Did the other?
No, hold on hold on. Did the other one happen to say dad?
No, I think I think it was either
They were two pink so it might have been grandmom or something like that. Okay
Well, yeah, wait, you guys got grandma centered,
but you didn't get mom centered.
I feel like it's easier to get a three letter word centered.
You know, it's a horse of peace.
All right, so horse of peace.
Also, how do you know it's centered?
If I suppose the Yeti logo's on it,
but that's a say on a circular device,
I feel like it's not big of a deal.
It's a train die.
Why not?
Yeah.
You know, that's why I got a polar camel.
Same thing just without the name branding.
Yeah, there you go.
There you go, Dean.
That's a good way to do it.
Well, I think we didn't solve anything for you today,
but is there any other issues
you got any thought thing you want to buy selling trade? Maybe a Yeti with mom written on it?
Well, it's off center. So yeah, not the price down a little bit. Yeah. Well, I'll think of
something real quick, but while I got in line, Charlie, I just wanted to let you know, I bought
some's merch off, man, twokminute.com. Yeah.
Nice.
How'd you like it?
You still haven't got it yet?
That's shot.
I ordered it on Sunday.
So you know, it'll be a couple of days.
It'll be a couple of months, but you're going to be able to get that piece of merch.
You know what?
It's a beautiful made in USA products.
So you're going to really like it, I think.
You're going to enjoy the hell out of that.
30 T shirt got the up beanie.
Nice. The hunting one, the blaze orange.
The blaze orange that away.
Sins flying off the shelves, Charlie.
Yeah, they're doing all right.
I appreciate you.
You sold one of them now.
Yeah, I sold one.
I appreciate you getting it. Appreciate the sold one. I appreciate you getting it.
Appreciate this support.
You have to let us know if you'll have to let us know if the opus off center or not.
Yeah.
Charlie, if that's a millimeter off, he wants a new one.
And he's going to keep the one he has.
Well, thank you for calling in.
We appreciate you anytime.
You know, a long time listener, first time caller.
Oh, and I want to leave with this. Don't let those Yeti Karen's get you down. All right. Yeah, you're doing good.
Remember that the reason why they're lashing out to you is because they're unhappy about the fact that they bought a Yeti product at some point.
That is true. Remember that. All right. They're misplacing. They're getting it up to you.
I want them to do that.
Oh, maybe maybe I got one more question.
If you guys got a second or two, we got a few seconds, actually, plenty of seconds.
Okay.
Well, my 21st birthday is next year and it's on a Saturday.
So you know how that is.
Yeah.
You're going to have some fun.
Yeah.
What do you recommend?
You know, first drink beer, brandy old fashioned.
I recommend a bush light.
That's what I was right.
I had a figure.
I will say this.
I recommend old fashioned for your first cocktail.
And then you can switch to beer after that.
But your first one, you want it, your first legal drink, you want a nice cocktail.
Tippy cow.
Yeah. Right. Yep. Sure cocktail. Tippi cow. Yeah, right.
Yep.
Sure.
Orinal fashion.
Yeah.
Orinal fashion.
With the tip, you add a little chippy.
Yeah, you can add a little typical and the oral fashion.
In fact, if you want,
yeah,
I know I didn't want to do Bud like because you might as well give that
the trees because it's water.
Yeah, that's straight up water.
You don't need to deal with that at all.
Only thing worse about it.
Yeah. Oh, wow.
Look at you digging in on that beautiful Milwaukee.
It was water.
Yeah, but like it's water.
Miller lights different.
Miller lights made in Milwaukee.
Okay.
That's a difference right there.
All right.
Well, have fun on your 21st. Yeah, I have fun and and and you know
Do it safe and have yourself some water. Yeah, mix in a water
Okay, well thank you guys very much
We may have not solved the problem, but we worked through some emotions
I don't know if we can solve that problem honestly against one of those things that you need to have a coping mechanism really is what it's all
about.
Yeah.
If you haven't noticed, we don't solve a lot of problems here on the Belly to podcast.
We just, we just give you a little thing to talk about for a bit, you know, that's
we can offer that in some beers, you know, some recommendations.
That's all you really ever need though.
That really is it.
So have yourself, have yourself a beer.
Well, I suppose we are doing the Midwest, we're doing the Midwest, we're doing the Midwest
but my, my, my house was looking at me.
I was like, what's wrong?
I was like, oh, I'm doing it again.
I've done the Midwest goodbye on a so many of different of these calls.
All right.
Well, thank you so much.
Well, I saw a good watch for deer, all key docks. right. Well, thank you so much. That's all good. Watch for deer, alky docks.
Okay.
Well, thank you for picking up.
Oh, any time now.
Okay.
All right.
Tell your folks.
I said, okay.
Okay.
And if you want to even this in from my garage, you just come on over.
Okay.
Charlie.
Miles.
I mean, a millimeter off is fucking insane.
That is insane.
And what's more insane is that you actually buy a Yeti, but, um, no,
they're probably saying, well, we got it as a gift.
Yeah, we got as a gift for someone.
That's the classic.
Yeah.
Um, I mean, Yeti's are nice and just I don't want to pay for it, you know,
also kind of a hard on move to get a Yeti and then go get it engraved.
Yeah, what are you trying to prove?
No, not to tear down that guy's business, but.
I guess you just didn't.
Well, no, there are.
No, no, no, no, that's a good product.
That is, I think you go getting engraved
at the old engraving in Poland.
Oh, wow.
That was, you know, Poland.
There's nothing against getting stuff engraved. It's just, you know,
freaking Yeti. Just get. Okay.
Hello, who do we got on the line? Oh my God. I didn't know if you guys
answer. Oh, yeah. Liz. Liz. Where are you calling from, Liz?
Oh yeah, Liz. Where are you calling from Liz?
So currently I am living in Atlanta, Georgia, but I am from Buffalo, New York. Oh wow. Hey, are you a bills fan?
Absolutely. I am so sorry that we kicked your butt.
Yeah, you're really dead. You really did. I can't even get mad.
This is it. You guys are looking great this year, though. You're bills.
Hey, yeah, go bills. Um, I didn't say that. I'm just so what? I said, I didn't say that, but I'm glad you did.
I'm still salty about you kicking our ass glizz. That's the whole point there. J.A.S. Goat.
Yeah, I'm all right.
Yeah, Liz, one, we love your energy so far. So why you belly up to the bottom of this. Tell us what's on your mind.
Well, currently I'm driving home from work. I just got out of work. But I kind of wanted your guys opinion.
So have you guys been up all over for?
Yeah, I have not.
I did a show out there actually this past year.
You consider it the mid, you consider it part of the Midwest.
I do, frankly, I look north,
you know, upstate New York, it has some very Midwest vibes.
It really does.
Culturally, I would say yes. Culturally. Yeah.
If you're getting into drawing lines on maps and stuff, a lot of people would say, no,
but I would say a lot of people, other than the fact in Buffalo, New York,
Charlie, they like blue cheese more than they like ranch. Yeah.
I do. Yeah. So you're a blue cheese gal. Absolutely.
Yeah. All right. Ranch is just not it. Well, you know, that's going to count against. Yeah,
that and this whole Buffalo bills. Yeah. So after they beat my packers, you know, well,
so you got a couple strikes against you, Liz, but what do you think? Do you think Buffalo should be part of the Midwest or no?
I don't know so my fiance is from New Jersey. Okay, and he has family
He has family in Wisconsin and he always says he's like, oh Buffalo's the gateway to the Midwest like you're part of the Midwest
So I was just calling because I wanted your guys
to opinion on it.
Well, honestly, you know, we can't make anyone
be a part of the Midwest.
I think it's really up to the people who live there
or who are from there.
And you're from there.
So it's really, I think we're gonna do the old Midwest
deflect and put it back on her.
What do you think?
Honestly, I think we're like a mix.
It's really hard because we're so close to Canada.
We're just an alaika cross from Michigan.
Like, it's hard for, I guess I was just kind of wondering
what you guys, I I listen you guys all
the time and I feel like there are a few things.
Yeah, I mean, you just all I got to say is you answered that question in the most midway
Midwest way possible.
Yeah, you you she didn't take a side whatsoever.
No.
And then she took our deflection and she responded to deflecting.
Well, I'll say this.
I did a show in in Buffalo earlier this year was my first time being to Buffalo and the
general vibe of that city honestly felt very Midwest.
I want to I I forget the name of the bar.
I went to after, but it was this.
I don't know.
It's kind of like a bit of a a grungy bar super diving bar and they had these great
Stakes sandwiches these great steak sandwiches there and that's what I'm trying to like find my memories because I had a couple after
But I had a great time there. I say Buffalo. You know what forget If your boyfriend says it's a gateway to the Midwest, boom.
It's settled. Buffalo, the gateway to the Midwest. Okay. I'll take it. I'll take it. I think you cut. Yeah.
I mean, it sounds like she wanted us to agree with that. So yeah, we go. Yeah. It's whatever you want.
You go ahead, use whatever you want. If you want to be the gateway of the Midwest, we'll make it that.
Yeah. When are you getting married, by the way?
you want. If you want to be the gateway in the Midwest, we'll make it that. Yeah. When are you getting married, by the way? Um, so we don't really have a date. We just moved
to Atlanta like three or four weeks ago. And we just got engaged in June. So we're,
it'll be a while, but did you move there for work? What do you guys do? Yeah, we're scientists. Oh, geez.
What kind of scientist, sorry?
Hold on, I am also a scientist.
Uh, yeah, sure.
I am an exercise scientist.
I have a bachelor of science.
Uh-huh.
So put that in your lab coat and smoke it, Charlie.
Do you consider Miles a scientist?
I do.
No, no, no, no, no.
She said I do, but she said the most Midwest way of really saying I do.
It's kind of like saying, well, I suppose whatever you do, don't say I do like that on your wedding.
You're going to want to be I do like that on your wedding. You're gonna want to be more
definitive than that on your wedding. You take this man. I do.
It's just different stuff. It's like it's kind of like a word chemist. So like sometimes it's hard
to argue that like psychiatry psychology is like a science that no offense to them
is just a different kind of science.
Yeah, they're like the dentists of the doctor, Dr. World, you know?
Yeah, so yeah, we're coming, we came down here for work and we can't even talk about that.
Okay, hold on.
Hold on.
Have you ever seen the show breaking bad?
Yeah.
I see where this is going.
She did say, Atlanta, not New Mexico, but that's more market saturated.
All right.
What are you stirring up in your, what do you call those?
RV.
What do you call those little bowls?
You mix pills in or what? Cauldron or I was going to No, I don't. No. What do you call those little balls you mix pills in or what?
Cauldron or I was going to say Petri dish.
That's probably what you though.
Yeah.
No, like a mortar and puzzle.
Yeah.
What do you mix it up in there?
I don't really do that.
I mean, I work at a small company.
We're like making soap right now.
Like they make like car wash soap.
It's a bit about the car wash industry, Charlie.
They don't make any money off of selling the equipment,
the car wash equipment.
They make the money off of people buying all the soap.
So, she's a very competitive business.
It sounds like it's gonna be a a spendy wedding open bar maybe.
Huh?
That's my dad's hoping.
If that's the case, your company is making a killing off of the Midwest come springtime.
People are going through car washes like crazy.
Yeah. people are going through car wash is like crazy. Yeah, because like they it's so different here, like people
go to the car wash like year round and Buffalo people.
Like it's in the spring when your car's also healthy and gross.
Yeah, I go to the car wash it just when it rains if I'm
you're asking me, but I do support what you're doing despite the fact that I just said that
What's the strangest product you guys make?
I'm trying to think, we make a lot of weird stuff.
I just started like three or four weeks ago, so I've only been making a handful of things.
It's really weird.
Like some people will call us and complain about a color of something and they're like, the color isn't right. And we're like, that doesn't affect the way it cleans though.
And they're like, put it aside.
And so we have to like reformulate it and change the color.
And it's like really?
Yeah, they think like the color, like,
all these colors are a little different than the last, the last, the last one I got.
So it doesn't work the same. And we're like, is that how it works? But okay.
Yeah, you're not painting the car. You're cleaning it.
Yeah, exactly. But like the car wash companies, like the bright colors, because you know,
it's like a show. So they're like, and not just like different fragrances.
I've been a little silent because I'm not gonna lie.
If the soap's just white,
I'm not trusting that it's really doing anything.
I need the color.
Oh, here we go.
The devil's at the kid in the car.
I'm gonna be honest, I like the colors,
so I don't know if I can get on board with what you're saying.
Yes.
How do I know
that that is actually doing anything? How is it not just hand soap? You know what I mean?
I mean I guess it's a good argument but if you if you have dirty hands you clean with a white
soap and your hands are clean afterwards then you you know what's, you know, it's working.
Yeah, but you're supposed to have all the rain technology
that goes on there, the waxing, all that stuff.
Oh, for the car wash.
Yeah, I don't really do that.
The wax stuff.
Well, this has been very enlightening to me.
I didn't know there was this much thought
or money involved in the car wash industry. You know, I'm just going in a lot here. Yeah. Well, listen,
I didn't either. Is this what you mean? I obviously, this is a dream for you. You're growing
up as a kid. You're playing with your toys as a kid. You're like, oh, I just can't wait
to be mixing up soaps. Can't be way.
Car.
You got a passion for car washes.
I imagine as a kid and you're like, holy smokes, I'm living out my dream, my childhood
dream.
Just like Miles, when he opens up the yearbook every 38 minutes and he sees.
Why do you do a ricochet shot?
And he sees his quote next to his football picture.
It says, I want to be an exercise scientist, which I did.
And then I lived it out drink a lot of bush light and call it a job.
Well, to be honest, I watched Breaking Bad in high school.
And then I took chemistry and I'm like, Hey, this would be really fun.
If I was a guy, let's go. Oh, let's go.
Wow, Miles was on to something.
This soap thing is a front for a breaking bad operation.
And what's something you want to learn from breaking bad?
How to?
The color matters because that's how they knew they were getting the right products.
And also the way they laundered money and breaking bad is through the car wash
Exactly circle and miles also launders money
If I have to say that so I can't believe I have to say that yeah, he does
This has been fun. I don't want to say that I called this early, but I called this early.
He did do good.
I was not sure I didn't have confidence in you, but then lo and behold, you get it.
What is Walter White's wife's name?
Skylar.
Skylar, thanks for calling in Skylar.
Skylar.
Yeah.
What if she's the Walter White and he's the Skylar?
Thanks for calling in Walt.
Yeah.
All right.
I hit the money in here.
You want to go out of wander the money, is it?
That is true.
Yeah.
You're the cook, your husband's Skylar, or your fiance.
And congratulations, by the way.
Congratulations.
We'll look out for our invites, OK?
Yeah, thank you.
All right.
Well, it's OK. Yeah, yeah. All right. We'll see you at the wedding. Thank you again for
bellying up to the bar with us. Okay. Thank you so much for answering. Hell yeah. Have
a good one. Tell your fun. I said, okay. Okay. And you watch out for deer down there. Okay.
Okay. Okay, I will.
All right, bye bye now.
I mean, that's the origin story.
That is the prank that I told that.
You did as soon as you heard Kevin.
Because someone who does what she does,
doesn't call, this is just go, I'm a scientist.
You know what I mean?
You're like, oh, you know, I do a,
that whatever the specific job is for that company.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's cooler.
We were certainly more intrigued when she said she was
a scientist or a chemist.
I mean, I tell people I'm a scientist,
but that's because it's,
it's because it's like, I don't do it anymore.
Right. I keep forgetting you're a scientist like yeah, I don't do it anymore, right?
I keep forgetting your scientist.
I don't I don't do I can whip you into shape. Believe it or not.
I'm a cash scientist. I'd love for you to we'll get you to lose
a few of those little albees you've gained.
I got a couple here. Yeah, that'll happen.
Why you got to point that out. I'm very self-conscious about it.
As I'm just sitting here as it is earlier. I was mowing down a burger on the podcast.
Well, yeah, she's a good, good gal. She was clearly, clearly running an operation.
For sure. Yeah, she just put that up there so like she could point something to the feds to be
like, see, I'm not doing it. You know, I was talking to these guys about my business,
car wash business. Yeah, that wedding is going to be sweet though. So I'm not doing it. You know, I was talking to these guys about my business, car wash business.
What can I see?
That wedding's gonna be sweet though.
So, I mean, for so fun.
Yeah, I can't wait to go.
And especially because it's gonna be open bar for sure.
And they're gonna put some chemistry into it.
I was gonna say, and there's gonna be
a little lecture fun items at this guy.
Party favors.
Pop rocks, you know what I'm saying? So yeah, don't drink that with
Diet Coke, you know, get your old mouth flaring up. But you do that. All right. Well, let's take
it. Let's take another caller. All right. Folks, it is the season for deals. It's officially
December. And that means get your Christmas shopping done.
Despite what I said on this podcast earlier and miles, don't wait to the last minute.
Go to the fleet farm where the gifts are big. In fact, gift with power, power tools.
There's a special December 2nd to the 10th. You're sure to find something for everyone
on your list miles. What power tool do you want?
Um, you can't go wrong.
It was one that I don't have that I want is a, uh, sawzall.
Oh, yeah.
You know, one saw something.
You got a, how did you not have a sawzall?
Ah, I don't know.
I'm going to get that for you.
I've got a couple of them.
So I probably had a borrowy.
Yeah.
But I think of time I get my own sawzall.
You're at that age, you know, Charlie. Yeah, what could a saw's all saw?
Would you say?
So if if a saw saw could saw yeah, what would it saw? I saw this saw saw something once and I tell you I forget exactly what it was
I saw, but it was a saw saw.
What could a saw saw all all there's a go.
All could saw all I see where you're going.
I was trying to do like, uh, uh, uh,
but we're gonna get a shot.
I'll check fleet farm.
We love it.
Oh, yes, we do.
And what are some of miles and Charlie's favorite gifts
received from the fleet farm?
This is a question they posed to us.
Favorite gift I've ever gotten from the fleet farm. This is a question they posed to us. Favorite gift I've ever gotten from the fleet farm
is a trolling motor for my boat.
And you know who got it for me?
No, Deb.
No, I got it for myself.
Yeah.
So just a gift card.
Because I like to walk in a fleet farm
and just let fleet farm tell me what I'm gonna buy.
Yeah, that is true. That is it's
It's yeah, if you are living in the moment
That's what we'll have you will be naturally directed to the thing a lot. Yeah, 100%
So there you have it folks get your ass over to the Fleet farm for Craype sake also
Tippy cow drink in tippy cow straight is great, but it's also delicious mixed with
itself, which we've been doing a little bit here. So right now I got a concoction.
What's a concoction? My guy, the concoction is the shamrock mint flavor, which is in front
of me right here. Thanks for talking with your mouth full, by the way.
It is the chocolate shake flavor.
Yep.
And the vanilla, what's the vanilla flavor called?
I think it's just vanilla.
Vanilla sauce.
Vanilla sauce serve.
I got them all three mix and it tastes like a delicious ice cream treat.
Yeah, they've actually got a lot of these listed here. I'll just
Whatever you like. So chocolate and the mint you get yourself a peppy patty drink, peppermint patty drink
Mix the chocolate and the vanilla you get your self-in-oreo. That's nice vanilla and orange cream
You get yourself a cream sickle and that's kind of cool. Typical might be the only
mixed drink you can mix with itself. And it mixes a whole other concoction. It's math.
Honestly, there's some math problems. Science. Okay, it's science. It's both math.
Because if how many different combinations can you make? How many different
typicals are there? Tyler four. So there's fourippy cows. So and each one can be mixed with each one.
So that's exponential growth.
Each one, so this is a mat, this is like a word problem.
This is a word problem.
And Charlie and Miles are at the bar all day.
And they taste all the different types of tippy cow
combinations.
How many combinations can they try?
I think.
No, I don't think we can figure that.
I don't know, I don't know how to figure out that math.
Well, is it four times four?
This is an interact, no, that's not four times four.
Cause you gotta think about it's four
and then there's three other options for each four.
It's four squared.
64, what's four squared?
Regardless, Charlie, what I'm going with this.
For math.
This is an interactive ad here.
Yeah, that's right.
An interactive read for us.
Yeah.
To the listeners, got us, let us know how many actual different
combinations that you can have with typical.
Yeah, let's get a man.
I'm enjoying mine.
It's got three of them mixed in there, but you could mix all four if you wanted to even think about that one
Did you know and you can do them all straight? So that's four right there. You can do them all straight. We I'm so bad at math
Anyway, you guys aren't let us know all right back to the pod. Hi. Who do we got on the line?
This is Jamie
Jamie
Jamie Jamie Jamie with an M with an M. Yes, yes, I do. Where are you out Jamie? Where are you calling from?
I'm sitting in a tractor at work. Oh, there you go in Fargo. Wow. We're right down the road. We're in Harwood right now.
That's what I heard. I wanted to come there after work. now Okay, well it might still be here. What's what are you farming right now?
Not farming I'm a tough engineer that's managed so I'm just testing the tractor
Oh, you're testing them. Okay, got you nice. Nice. So you're a tractor tester
Yep, how does one get that gig? Yeah, come miles and I do it. Yeah
I mean basically they drive themselves right so you just grab a six or you hop up in the cab and let it do its thing
Yeah, if you that's the part I'm having trouble figuring out I can't figure out the auto guidance. I will help you
Look in that. What you're gonna want to do is you want to close your eyes lift your hands off the wheel and say what Charlie?
Jesus take the we
Jesus take the wheel. That's what we like to take it from my hand
That's a good idea. I didn't realize that's where you were going with that.
You said that before that,
so I thought you were gonna pick up on my standup set.
Yeah, yeah, just have Jesus take that wheel.
You don't even need to test it.
No, seriously, what's going wrong with this tractor?
Let's get down to the not troubles.
Let's get down to the not troubles.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can help you out.
Yeah, what's going on?
Where are we at?
Is it the axle? Is it the rotator coughs? What is it? Definitely the rotator cuff.
No, there's nothing wrong with it. I just don't know what I'm doing. Well, we don't either.
Well, that's good. The driving around an expensive piece of machinery, not knowing what you're doing.
That's always good.
This one isn't that expensive.
It's a really old one.
Okay.
We at least know where the break is.
That's why I'm having trouble.
Okay.
What year is it?
Yeah.
What year is it?
Give me the make it.
No, what is what kind is it?
Case contract. Okay. So I'm also starting to to wonder are you even supposed to be in this tractor?
It sounds like you're going for a joyride right now. This is what she's this what she's in right now. This is the quad track
All right, so I've been driving it. I'm just trying to figure out the display right now. Oh the display. Okay. Well that information is you
Oh, you're an engineer. I don't
She's an engineer. I don't do the mechanical stuff
Well, what are you doing in that thing then? Yeah, she's trying to get the display right
Well right now I'm talking to you. Oh, okay, I get it now talking to us through the tractor.
Is that that type of technology?
Let me ask you, is this blue tooth?
Is this an AFS pro 1200 display in that guy?
No, that's a new one.
Oh, 700.
Okay, so the AFS pro 700 is the primary display on the...
Oh, yeah, so is it a Vestrum CVX drive?
That's usually what I got in my tractors like that.
No, it's not.
Is it a Mac somewhere?
How about a Puma?
How are the...
It's not a CVT, it's the full power shift.
Oh, well, you know...
I know I had to drive it.
You know, I've been a loter.
I could have probably helped you out a little bit, but I just, you know, you don, I know I did drive it. You know, I'm a bit louder. I could have probably helped you out a little bit,
but I just, you know, I don't have that on my tractors.
So, okay, you know what?
I'm gonna give you the advice that's gonna fix this, okay?
There's how I used to fix the Sega Genesis
back in the day.
Unplug it and then blow in the,
blow in the deal in the little plug area.
There's probably just some dust in there or something. Unplug, blow it out there, plug it back in, and then you're going to be good to go. You're
going to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog and don't try turning it off and turning it back on yet.
Yeah, I told you, you guys could do this job. Yeah, that's all it is. So did you try that? Does it work?
Nope, didn't work.
Oh, bummer.
Did you call in for any other,
and why does we kind of jump down?
No, hold on, hold on, let's,
you're talking over.
Hold on one sec.
Okay, if it's not working,
why don't you should try calling an electric engineer?
Oh, there's some good advice.
Yeah, well, see, this is my third week here. Yeah,
she's getting on the job training. All right. Sorry, I cut you off. What do you got on your mind?
Well, I was calling in to get some advice from you guys, because I just moved back to the Fargo
area and I'm wondering what all has changed in the last few years as far as like where I should go to meet new people and
Where fun uh where when did you move away and all that
I moved away in September of 2020 and then I just moved back three weeks ago
Oh right not much has changed other than down south we got an extension onto the 45th street. Um, and now goes, I don't know, we got a new overpass.
It's got I think it's 64th Avenue is basically all that's changed in the last couple of
years.
We got a new overpass.
It seems like a lot of stuff has changed.
I've been trying to go to do some of the same like yields and stuff for like things that
used to be the popular nights that bars and different restaurants. You hit no, like they're not going on anymore. and you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,wood Grill in Saloon, they have free to play
sex toy bingo and a DJ.
No kidding.
Yeah.
So that's, that's new, I think.
So every fourth Saturday, so you got some time, you just missed the last one.
What a time of this recording.
But does say sex toy and DJ, you got to be kidding me.
Yeah.
Starts at nine p.m.
They also got a sex toy bingo at the boulder in town as well.
I didn't know that was it.
There's a lot of sex toy bingo going on in this town.
So I don't know if that's new.
Now, how do you play sex toy bingo?
It's like regular bingo, but what you win are sex toys.
Oh, cool. Now
obviously I didn't want to assume that that's what you're into, but we're at the Harwood
bar and they have a sign up. So I thought I just should throw that out there. And also
they have a special on Thursday night at steak night, Friday, prime rib night and Sundays
half off pizza, half off pizzas. Are you kidding me? I mean,
chase the ways. How can they make any money at this bar? Stuff like that. Yeah. And they
also got freedom on the wall, Doritos, Lays, barbecue, Lays, Cheetos. I mean, this is
the spot, honestly. That's just go there every day. That's true. Every day. There's some sort of stuff over our mouth. Yeah. What else do you think changed around here?
You said that there's no same trivia nights and shit. Is that what you mean?
Yeah, or just like the things down town to the youth to pay the date.
Yeah, I mean, it's been a minute since I've been downtown Fargo.
Um, that's fair.
You probably were downtown Fargo before I was last time.
So, oh, well, yeah.
I was just down there last night.
My hotel is down there.
And I think it was, it was fun.
I was walking around.
It was like 70, 68 degrees, you know? And, uh, I mean, it was fun. I was walking around. It was like 70 68 degrees, you know, and I mean,
it was warm. I know this recording is going up in December, but we this in November when we're
recording it. It's very nice. There was jazz coming out of I thought was coming out of bar. No,
it was just someone playing music on the street. Street jazz. That's something new. Don't want to check
you. We got street jazz. And then honestly honestly though, you're going to need to head down
South Fargo on the interstate and check out that new over pass. It's
that they do a good job. I did a good job. They even have like a fancy little accent
piece on it. A little metal accent piece that goes on it. Then no,
no, no other overpasses have no kidding. Brand.
No, it's it. No, open yet.
Oh, it's it.
No, it is.
It is.
And I tell you that road is flat.
It is a good road.
Wow.
It's not very often here in the Midwest.
You get to drive on a road that's been in unimpeded by potholes.
A no pot hole road.
Yeah. You don't see that a lot, do you, Charlie?
No, I mean, you got about six more months
to enjoy that.
Potholes.
Spinsound, you're gonna see a few potholes.
You don't want to get out there
before snow starts falling.
Take your roller blades.
Actually, don't do that.
Yeah, don't do that.
Yeah, I don't know how to roller blade anyway.
Oh, well, if you got to learn, that's the road to do it on.
When there aren't cars on it, you know.
Stay on the sidewalk.
Well, actually, are you supposed to roll away on the sidewalk?
You're always supposed to walk on the sidewalk.
It's actually illegal to bike on the sidewalk.
Did you know that?
In Fargo?
No, like everywhere.
Nah.
That's a breach law.
That's a law, but I never follow that. Oh, we got a she we got a rule breaker.
Yeah, rule breaker. Yeah, Fargo bad girl just biking on all the
biking on all the sidewalks in town. Yeah, we're well, I just know you're
going to have a little heat on your head after this podcast comes out. So just
keep it on the screen. Yeah.
And it's okay. I give you a fake name. Anyway, it won't feel
the
that's not well, now I don't feel bad for forgetting it. Okay.
You told us all about your appointment. So we're at it
there now, actually, we're in the car. We got chick, we
got to check out this tractor. She's not even in a
tractor right now. She's in her truck looking at it.
She's literally in her office with one of the toy versions
of the tractor just moving it back and forth on her desk.
Wow.
That's hard.
I can't help it when it goes on my desk.
Yeah, we know you do.
You're looking at it right now.
And that is engineering right there.
Yeah, that's how you do it.
Well, good luck with that display.
Did we answer your question?
Yeah. All right, we don't get that answer a lot.
Yeah, it didn't sound very confident.
You can always tell in the gap, the gap between, did we answer your question and the answer?
Yes. It's kind of like the gap between lightning and thunder, you know, you know, how accurate it is.
The quicker they say, yeah, we're about three miles away from yes
We answered your question. You're about as confident
Just you said nothing's changed except for an overpass
Change for some people are you trying to meet a meet yourself?
significant other
No, I'm just trying to meet friends.
Just trying to meet friends. Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you have too many friends and you work so much.
You got, oh, since college, I don't know that sad.
That'll happen though.
Yeah, you kind of burn.
Yes.
You burn off.
And then I was gone for two years.
Where'd you go?
I moved back and I moved to Bremerton, Washington.
How was that?
Yeah, same thing, the gap between the,
how was that?
And good, a bit of it.
I moved during, I moved during COVID,
so it would have been better if it was,
but this time I moved back,
they're finally starting to not be co-video there.
You're probably weren't able to find a nice new overpress overpass out there in Washington.
Overpress. Miles has had over here. Yeah, no, not over. Oh, yeah, just about right.
Just right one an hour. I forgot. Well, hopefully you don't crash the tractor.
Hopefully you get that display figured out.
We appreciate you calling in today and watch out for cows.
Okay.
I will.
She's just in her office.
No, she's probably got to have cows on her office.
Probably should watch out for tractors.
But I don't get run over by that.
That's true. That's true. All right. Well, I suppose it's good to talk to you. I'm not sure if I can get a little bit of a good idea
of what I'm going to do.
Yeah, I'm not sure if I can
get a little bit of a good
idea of what I'm going to
get a little bit of a good
idea of what I'm going to
get a little bit of a good
idea of what I'm going to
get a little bit of a good idea
of what I'm going to do.
I'm not sure if I can get a
little bit of a good idea of
what I'm going to do.
I'm not sure if I can get a
little bit of a good idea of
what I'm going to be a
good idea of what I'm going to
be a good idea of what I'm
going to be a good idea of
what I'm going to be a good
idea of what I'm going to
be a good idea of what I'm
going to be a good idea of what
I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to be a good idea of what I'm going to take someone's words and just twist them. I know. She didn't even call in to talk about that
tractor. And we were up there trying to find owner animals and I also love when someone calls
it and asks, Hey, what's new stuff to do in Fargo? Give her the answer. And she doesn't like it.
I mean, I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. Your answer was literally drive under a bridge.
No, over on a bridge. Oh, it's the overpass.
The overpass, not the underpass.
Well, I thought, well, to appreciate.
The underpass was already there.
Miles, to appreciate the art, you've got to drive under
and the underpass.
You've got to drive the underpass
to the overpass to appreciate the overpass art.
Yeah, I agree.
But yeah, I just, the best advice that we gave today probably was the
under the unplugged blowing it back in. Yeah. That was sound. Thank you. That was my advice.
I know. I'm saying that was sound advice. You had a good job on that one. Thank you. I
appreciate that. It's nice to get that positive reaffirmation from you. Yeah. Affirmation.
Since I don't reaffirmation with indicate you do it
before, but that was the first time you done it. So I do appreciate it.
Well, Charlie, I think this is another good episode of belly to podcast. I've had a great time
here. I really have here at the Harwood Grill in Saloon where they got a four Saturday, four Saturday,
sex toy bingo,
and a DJ.
You know, and I bet you what that is,
is the adult toy story had like a,
a closing clearance or something, you know,
and well,
you got to come early to that because they,
no, you got to come early to sex toy bingo
because all the new sex toys go early and then
you just stuck with the used ones after that.
Oh yeah.
That's funny.
You had two jokes in there.
Your first joke was you got to come early.
Well, now we're come early and come later.
Now we got to go to confession miles.
That's not what's father Tom.
Here is father.
Oh, you just walked in. Oh, father.
Tom, how you doing, buddy?
All right, confession's in the third booths on the right.
All right. We'll see you guys next time.
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Belly Belly Bell.
Podcast guys. Don't forget to tip your bartender.
Cheers.
Don't forget to tip your bartender.
Cheers.
