All right, everybody welcome back to the Bellyduck podcast. I'm here with Charlie Barons, the man on the myth the legend. I am excited to be here today. Good time Charlie with a Harley time Charlie with a Harley. He finally just listened to that song for the first time yet. No idea we were talking about last time. I think I had heard it. Now that you played it. And now I have heard it either way. But now you have your anthem. You are good time, Charlie, with the Harley's one in every bar. Now, Charlie, I got to leave me. Yeah. There he is. Yeah. I got a question for you. Yes. So you casually just threw around yeah, that you you shampooed your hair last night, which was a big event. And I thought, well, I shampoo my hair every single day. Yeah, you're doing it wrong. Talk me through it.

And I'll let you know why, because I've heard that before. Yeah, you want to silence. I just didn't know why you switched to that. Well, so it all started. I'll be honest with you. It started. I ran out of shampoo and a week went by and was like, I can't really tell, you know, you got to get through the

awkward phase. The awkward phase your hair going to look greasy when you stop shampooing every day at first. Get through that. How do you get through that? Because you just live your life and just say, ah, I just just chowered, you know, because it's all a little bit greasy, little wet. So, yeah, how long does that phase? It's about a, it's not long. It's only a few days. It's about a week.

Give her take a week. A week, give her take a week. So some folks could be one, some folks could be two. But you know, let's be honest, a lot of times you're wearing a hat anyway. Just get through the awkwardness with a hat, you know. And if you work a job that doesn't allow you to wear a hat, get a new job. It's worth it in the long run. Think about all the money I saved, not using shampoo. But so you just, for a couple of weeks, you just don't wash your hair

and then it just doesn't matter or what? Yeah, you can't really tell. Like have you ever been it Deb you ever said Charlie. You're a greasy bastard. Yeah Well, I mean have you stayed with it's not like the first thought that comes to mind. Oh, yeah, I see like you guys Yeah, but I would say so like I just have naturally really oily skin and I just think that No, I it's a fact. I haven't seen a pimple on your face. I know because I take care of my body.

Oh, do you? Yeah. What do you watch your beard with? Shampoo. You shampoo your beard? I just slap a little on there. There you go. All the way rotated around.

Look, I'm not here to hair spleen. No, I just, I guess I don't think I could do it because my stage of when I just don't think my body is ever gonna not produce a lot of oil A lot of the key words in that sense are I don't think and In this world miles we're allowed to experiment. We're allowed to see things, you know, especially you So the only advantage is that you don't have to buy as much shampoo because you're gonna shower every day still So what's the point? I don't know about that part, you know Oh, you don't you don't shower every day not every day. No, are you kidding me?

Some days I wake up like if I'm just chilling Charlie You just me and if you're just at your house. Yeah, Sunday watching football. Right. I'm not you think I'm showering for that No, but put put on like a normal day. Yeah, you just shower. You get your hair wet. You dry it. And actually the grease helps style it a little bit. That's why I'm wearing a hat right now, because it was too poofy. My hair was too poofy. I looked like I looked like 1990s Zach from say by the bell. Yeah, you did. I did. So I had to put a hat on because it's not really the style I'm going for. Uh, and that's why I don't shampoo.

That's why I don't mess with that. So are you, would you consider yourself, uh, anti shampoo activists? I just consider myself a rebel. My, okay. A rebel without a cause. Uh, I got a cause and cause it's in the shampoo bottle because Your hair is oily. Ha ha ha. It's not oily. Well, it's certainly not oily now. I just shampoo. Yeah, well You have it here while apparently we are a pro anti shampoo

podcast a pro anti shampoo podcast. Do you shampoo the hair down there? No, no, no, I just use regular soap, regular soap down there. Why aren't you shampooing that? Seems absurd. Thought you were oily. It's very funny for you to assume that I do have hair. That was my next question. What are we, what are we working with down there? I don't think I want to talk about this on a public podcast. Okay. Oh, talk about your greasy head now, miles. We don't need to be talking about my greasy balls. So I didn't say they were greasy. You were insinuating. Yeah, I just didn't know if you weren't shampooing and you're greasy fell.

I'm saying one plus one equals greasy balls. One plus one equals two, greasy balls. That would have been funnier way to say that joke. Well, anyways, should we take some of those? It's enough about Charlie's scalp. I think we should maybe dive into it. Let's do it. Let's talk to some folks.

Hello, who do we got on the line? Hey, this is Dylan. How are you guys doing? We're doing good, Dylan. I got Charlie here too. That's unfortunate, but we'll deal with that. Oh, I could tell you must be from Chicago that he also gave it a pause too, you know, trying to remember who that was. Dylan, what the heck's going on? What's up? Hey, belly on up to the bar. Can you guys hear me? Okay, because I've got you up to the bar. Oh, and you guys here, okay? Cause I've got you coming to the trunks. I can take it off. If you can't hear me, all right.

No, you sound good. You're good, Dylan. All right, good deal. No, I'm headed on home. Uh, I just had to visit my father in law because I hired him to work for me. So that's always a great experience. I'm sorry about that. Not to.

Yeah, that's, uh, that's an a great experience. I'm sorry about that. Not to. Yeah. That's, uh, that's an interesting choice right there. Well, I hope you know that you've now hired him for life. Yeah, because good luck letting him go. You know, once, once, once you have a, there's no real getting rid of him. Like I had him at home. Now I've got him at work too. Got to find a good balance.

There's not one. Wait, you had him at a home first. He was living with you guys. So yeah, they know that there was a point in time where me and my wife were living with him and his wife, luckily before the hiring process started, I'd already moved out of his house. Okay. So what do you do for a living time where we were? So I'm not going to just'm not gonna just say what company it's for, but it's for a large company. I'm a manager of the general maintenance side of that area.

And so he's a technician that works under it. He's a 15 that I have. So you guys are in the mob. That's pretty clear. Waste management. Waste management. We clean up messes. Uh huh. Uh huh. Waste management. Yeah, waste management. Yeah, we clean up measures.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. We clean. You say what you want to say, right? Well, what industry are you in? Can you give us an insight on what actual industry it is? Yeah, we're in like the grocery industry.

Okay. Oh, yeah. We take care of things inside of stores. So like the floor equipment, the powerlifting equipment, pork live, cooking equipment. By the way, I am pork with certified. Are you actually or are you certified with quotes? Yeah. Yeah. I have the car. It's if I'm pork with certified. Did you print that that card off at your home computer? That's not to be disclosed. I mean, they did say, hey, go get on that forklift. And I was like, what about the test? Like, this is the test. Get on there. There we go. I love it. I love it. Okay. So how is it going so far, having the father-in-law working for you?

In the beginning, everything was fine. Oh. You're in the hands. I say, it's not in the hands. We're still in the middle of it. I'm not wanting to get rid of it. But how do you positively encourage someone that you're related to?

Well, what do you have an issues with? Is it an effort? Is it is quality of work? What do you have an issues with? Let's say not listen. I'm telling someone, like, hey, you need to order these parts. And they're like, yeah, yeah, I mean to do that. And it's like, well, I told you two weeks ago, and here we are having the same things I'm fixing to give. Uh, what are you going to do? It. Yeah. I think, I think first lesson, I'll hop in the you can go, Charlie.

Think first lesson is, is don't ever hire your father in law. I think that's probably number one. We're past that. Okay. The day the damage is done. But you do acknowledge your next father in law, you're not going to hire. Correct. Well, I'm hoping not to pull it Charlie on that one.

Oh, let's go. Wow. See, I didn't even bring up your divorce this time. Burned. You just brought it up again. Sorry, sorry. Yeah. It's okay. I did it first. I'll take, I'll take the blame for that one. But Charlie, you brought it on yourself. All right. Thank you, Dylan. I wonder what I did to you. God dang. You know what? I think I'm Charlie starting to feel a little bit like your father-in-law is this how you talk to him to it? Don't take your father-in-law trauma out on me

Well, you have another kid be cow and you sit there and let them in talk okay? All right, all right, okay, you know what I am gonna let them in talk I want to see what the men come up with I want to see the solution you two dipshits come up with it. Let's see what happens. Let's see what you guys pull out of the magic. Actually, it probably wouldn't be terrible to get Charles experience because you've been through a divorce. Like you might know that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, first of all, man, what the hell were you thinking? Like how did you, how did you see this ending? Best case scenario, it's just not that bad.

So let's get him credit for the reason that I'm in the industry that I'm in. And when I started dating his daughter, the company that we worked at before, he trained me and taught me everything. So time out. So when I got into this company in gastronomy, so he used to be your boss and now you're his boss. No, well, so so when we first

got hired on together, he was just another tech like me and he trained me. Then he got promoted with that company and was my boss. Then he stepped down and then we were equals again, then I left, got promoted, and then I hired him and now I'm his ball. Was there any, uh, did the company know that you were interviewing your father and law? So my boss is boss new and I was like, is it going to be okay? And he's like, don't tell anybody. Oh, and here he is on a podcast. I'm on a podcast, yeah. Okay.

That's why I didn't dispose the company. No, that's fine. That's fine. Is your name even really Dylan? Absolutely. Okay, okay. All right. So we can only do so much, man.

But I don't go on my will. Yeah, no, no, you're fine. I'm pretty sure I'll never get in trouble anymore. Yeah, no, no, you're fine. I'm pretty sure I'll never get in trouble anymore. Okay, that's the, that's the famous last word, you know? Yeah, it's like, when you're a kid and you're sneaking snacks in your bedroom, my parents will never know. Yeah, I just put all these rappers under my pillow. Balls deep in a thing, a popcorn and I get in trouble, you know, that's what he's about to embark on, I think. Okay. So the first place I would go to try and get my father in law

to get in line, right, is I would talk to your mother-in-law because she's had years and years of experience of, hey, how do you get them to do what you want them to do? Because wives know how to work their husbands. I know that. My initial reaction... I don't think I have the same thing to offer. Yeah, well, well, well, well, well, my initial reaction is, Miles, that's a stupid thing to do. But it might just be so dumb, it works.

What's your relationship with your mother and wife? Right. Right. Oh, it's great. We all have a great relationship. Oh, you do have a great, well, why don't you just hire her then? No. I've not heard before I hired you, Charlie. So, thank you, Dylan. Now, you're telling me, Dylan, I don't know what I did to you, but I've just been such a polite fella on this podcast and you're razzin' me.

Yeah. Hey, let's start with, let's go. You are very nice. Thank you. So, okay. Dylan, what's your bone to pick with Charlie? Yeah, what, I'm not your father-in-law. I didn't hire your father. I'll start with, he's got, he's got the worst merch. You know, I've only bought merch for you. Well, all kinds of quality. Hey, Dylan, guess what? You don't know I have the worst merch for you. Well, all the shirts are quality. Hey, Dylan, guess what?

You don't know I have the worst merch until you buy a shirt. Is it overpriced? Yeah. I can just tell by the designs. Well, you know what? The designs actually I got some good ones. Also, they're made in the end of all that. I'm going to calm made in the USA.

Mine's printed in the USA. Okay. Right here in the Midwest, Dylan, let's get back on track here. Do you have any other superior to your father-in-law that could step in and manage him directly? But then you'd have to reveal that it's his father-in-law. He's in a total... Well, he can just say, hey, there's things to add up.

Exactly. I mean, does he have to report to you directly? Is there any way you can get a third party involved? Technically, we're not supposed to do that. And don't think like, again, it's not like he's a big bother. So it's just like, hey, I've asked you to do something and we're sort of dragging our feet. No, can your daughter, not your daughter.

Can his daughter step in your wife? She probably could, but she probably should not. You don't want to get involved with any of my work. Yeah. Charlie, you know, that's why I'm not trying to be divorced. And so the reason why I brought up the mother-in-law is you don't have a tell of mother-in-law you're having issues with them, but you could like just pick something really small. You're like, oh, he does this at work. Does he do that at home? And you guys can kind of bond and laugh over it. And then he can be like, so what do you do when he does that? And then she'll give you a nice tip.

And then you can apply that at work. Is how I would maybe do it. That looks good on the playbook. Let's go down the field. Right. If she holds out on sleeping with him at night, let me tell you, I'm not doing the same thing there. I love all those guys things.

The only way the world works is sex. I love it those guys things the only way the world works sex. I love it. Really? That's how a woman gets what they want. Okay. All right. It's one way to spend like that for years. So. All right. Well, that's my, that was my, I gave all advice I could give Charlie. What do you got? You're the one throwing stones at my ideas here, Charlie. Let's hear your brilliant idea. I'm gonna handle this Charlie. Well, my brilliant idea, you poo pooed.

I said talk to the daughter, but you know, that's not gonna happen. I how long has he been on the job again? How many months? Three or three months in. Does he need the money? Yeah. Okay. Let me tell you something. You cannot fire somebody from this company unless they just

turn and walk away. Okay, that's what I'm saying. Maybe you encourage them. And the hardest process. What's your father-in-law's name? Oh, you can't say that. I don't think you can't say that. What hobbies does he have? He watches wrestling. Anything anything. I'm trying to well. Yeah, you could encourage him to turn one of his hobbies into a job and Help him like lay the groundwork side hustle lay the lay the groundwork to have him start focusing on side hustle and then then hopefully his side hustle takes off and he can get out of your hair. Maybe he'll start wrestling on the side. Okay. Yes. Let's go.

Physically. You got to. Okay. Here we go. Maybe challenge him to a wrestling match. Challenge him to a wrestling match at the next family function hurt his back and then he won't be able to work and then then your problem solved. Sounds illegal. Sounds, sounds, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, well, when you say it's free meditative. It's more so not a premeditation. We never had that conversation.

No, we didn't. We didn't. It just bleep out everything I just said. We're talking about. That's good. Just a long bleep. Yeah. We'll do that.

We'll bleep it on this end. You'll be good to go. So get that beep, ready to rock it, moral. And then, yeah, you'll have to, it'll have to quit. And how old is he? 55. Oh, you got like, you got at least another decades. I want to retire too.

Right. What the hell were you thinking, Bill? Yeah. Chase, I think you're going to have to leave the company. All this line to be done. You judge me immediately, Dylan. This is a two way street friend. I am rubber and you are Send me your dress. We'll see we'll see

Yeah, well, you got a lot of miles. Once you go work, he's got a lot of miles. Once you go working, he's got a lot of complaints about your merchandise, Charlie. He should get into

Well, Charlie, I've got nice you bet your best. You still sell them. Yeah, we got a few on the site. Well, Charlie as a cover have a little more typical. Yeah, I've been drinking that a lot reactively and we'll take another color Charlie, you know, it's one of my favorite things in the entire world. What's that miles to Just get down with around 18 probably shoot

miles to just get down with around to 18 probably shoot 69 par 72 300 par is what I usually do, you know me. Are you being serious right now? Yeah, I'm being serious. You're that could have called. Oh God, yeah. Can you definitely shoot under power? They say you're not that

could have called. They don't know anything. I would never invite them onto the course with me. So how would they know? Regardless, when you get done going to of golf. They don't know anything. I would never invite them onto the course with me. So how would they know? Regardless, when you get done going to the golf course, I like to head up the 19th hole and pour myself a little bit of tippy cow, big cow, nothing tastes better.

I've Charlie, you love going golfing, right? I do love going golfing. Is that your favorite part of the end of the round after you shoot under par? Maybe honestly, I don't like golfing that much. You want to go to a Frisbee golf type of guy? Yeah, after a long hard day, 18 holes on the Frisbee golf course, Charles Frolf course, the 19th tree, lean up against it and eat an apple and pour a glass of typical cow. Sometimes I hollow out the apple and pour the

typical right there. Yeah. That'd be good vanilla and apple. You just you just hollow it out, you know, it pull out the core and then put some ice in there and then you got yourself an apple and orange cream sensation. Well, regardless of what course you're playing, whether that's the frisbee golf or the golf links, you got to end the day with a nice tippy cow.

It's nothing goes down easier to put on back with the tippy cow. We love it. Welcome to the belly to podcast who we talking to today. Hi, I'm we talking to today. Hi, hold on, give me one second, my box is

sobbing to me. Okay. Hey, I was going guys, I'm surprised. We're surprised. I'm sorry. Who we talking to? Sorry, my name's Ethan. My name's Ethan. How are you guys doing? We're doing good Ethan ways. It's the same Ethan that we've talked to in the past. Yes, it is. Oh, he's back. Ethan, give us an Ethan, Ethan, Ethan, Ethan. I think we should do a quick recap of the last call

and then I'd love to get an update. Miles, you want to do that? No, it's not Ethan doing it. Ethan, tell the folks what we talked about last time. Oh, geez, Louise, what happened last time? Well, last time, you know, I think you guys do a much better. You guys go ahead and give it a shot. I want to hear you guys talk. You guys have a beautiful voice. Last time I think you were talking to us about some red

flags turned green by your goth girlfriend. Is that about accurate? That's about accurate. I'd say something like that. Yeah. And she was thinking of moving in with you and your dad. Yeah. So about that, you know, I'm about like a week or two weeks after that video was posted. She, uh, she went ahead and moved in with me. So that was a bit awkward.

OK. Well, did the video help her hurt your cause? Uh yeah yeah yeah and in all seriousness I saw that video and about like 30 different people kept on adding me and sending me the video saying hey is this new? You and I never expected that video to be blown up as the way it is. It really did blow up. I mean, who would have thought just you not knowing the specifics of how long you were dating somebody? I think that's a whole long.

Yeah, how long have you guys been dating now? I say a good six, seven, eight, nine months now. There we go. I think that's a good ballpark. I think that's a good ballpark seven, eight, nine months. There we go. I think that's a good ballpark. I think that's a good ballpark, right there, honestly. OK. Well, why don't you give us an update? You now are moved in.

It's you, your wonderful golf girlfriend, and your dad. How is it going so far? Well, so far, so good. She was pointing to moving at the end of last month, but a lot of things happened between her and her family, and there's a lot of bad juju going on. So she moved in while she was down for a couple of days,

visiting me on a weekend. Uh, so it was a very abrupt and very sudden thing, and I'm still trying to get used to it, but it's a lot. It's a lot. I didn't think it'd be like this. And this is how it's like being married. Yeah. Yes, sir.

That's why Charlie's no longer married. Well, you know, maybe I was a lot. Here's the question, what is a lot about it? What's the big issue? The biggest conundrum you've run into yet? Oh, just, really. the big, the big issue, the biggest conundrum you've run into yet. Oh, just. Really, there's like, I, she have a lot of stuff.

She have a lot of stuff. And she moved in like in the middle of last month, and we're still moving all of her stuff in. I'm trying to find places for it. I just ain't got no space for it. What? I mean, what's What is it close? Is it closes it? Close, close for figurines. She's got a lot of anime figurines.

Again, she's more Asian than I am. It's really a wonder. It's like shell-shock really. But it's, she has a lot of stuff. A lot of figurines, a lot of clothing, a lot of artwork, more than me. I have one photo and I hang on the wall and I go beautiful. Make my whole blank wall look like they look amazing. While she's boaturing me about it saying, I'll have been at a 45 degree angle.

It doesn't go in with the wall and everything. I'm a man and only takes one thing for me to be so happy, be so satisfied. That's a lot of pressure you got going right now. What is the picture that you have hanging on the wall? Oh, it's, so when I was in Las Vegas, I was thinking my sister's concert one time. I was walking around the strip and I felt a guy doing spray paint art. I thought, oh, that looks really nice. Oh, yeah, that looks really nice.

It's like a Bob Ross painting is like snowy mountains, pine trees, a riverboat, and all that. And was it spray paint? Or was it actual paint? One of the two. I think it's actual spray paint. Well, I imagine that looked great. And so now what did she do? Is she hang a bunch of her own stuff on the wall or what? Not yet. I mean, she doesn't want to go through everything because it's all mine.

And I work like 10, 12 hours shifts. So I just don't have the time. I come home and I'm like, where's the fucking stuff? Sorry, part of my French. Where's the food? She's out of cold. She's asleep. She's awake at the night.

I'm awake during the morning. It's cold, twitch, cold, our opposite type of deal. It's, it's a lot. She hasn't hung up any of her stuff. I hung up a little bit of her stuff, but not a lot. We're like going through the whole move and face though. Well, what, how tough is it to just throw a nail in the wall and hang some of her stuff? Yeah. That dog tired, that you can't put a few nails in the wall. Yeah. especially if she's cooking the dinner. Yeah, that's fair. Well, actually, in fact, I'm cooking her dinner,

but she brings her to the house. You go, oh, I'll cook some dinner. No, you won't. You're going to sit down. I'll cook you some dinner. That a way. What are you making her? Okay, fine.

All right, fine. Well, ramen noodles, that's it. Ramen noodles. Ramen hot of cooking. There you go. Oh, it's so tough. You said it'll have to cook. There you go. So tough. Yeah. Hey, when you said you were in Vegas for your sister's show, was your sister performing? Yeah.

So she's an artist. She sings a lot. Okay. This was like way back when though. Oh, God. You know, back in maybe 18 or 1920 somewhere around there. 2018 to the 1920. Her name is Carlya. She does a lot of things. She's pretty cool. Oh

Nice. Okay. Nice. Well, okay, so Your girlfriend's got a lot of stuff. What does your dad think of this situation? Oh Man, I don't know. I haven't asked him. He comes around. I'm making ramen. I'm just mind-of-my-all business I'm waiting for these eggs to blow oil and he comes in Just how's it going and I jump out of my pants. I'm easily frightened and we start talking he goes So you guys gonna eat anything else but ramen and I go that's all the woman wants man I said that's good enough for me man. That's good enough for me I said, that's good enough for me, man. That's good enough for me.

Have you guys gone out on any fun events, the three of you? You guys gone on any dates where your dad's at third wheel? No, thankfully, no. Thankfully for the Lord. No. You know how awkward that would be? Oh my goodness, we would not even talk.

So a coworker of mine said, hey, you want to come out to Dave and bless us with me in my life, you can bring your lady along too of mine said, hey, you want to come out to Dave and bless us with me and my wife. You can bring your lady along too. I go, sure, let me ask her. And me knowing full well deep and doubted, she's going to say no. I walk around the corner.

I wait for about five seconds. Come back around, you go, I go, yeah, no. I don't think so. She's got a whole lot planned on the table. Like what? I got to thank some laundry. Lond laundry laundry she's got a little laundry to this you can't come in on how we can I'm up the next weekend yeah the web is not looking that good either I'll have to pass on the back yeah yeah so

why I mean I'm gonna be honest I don't know a ton of people that would turn down to Dave and Buster's invite why doesn't she want to go to D&B? Oh, dude, trust me, I would love to go in D&B. You know, they got that guitar here. I love to play Boston on there and look like an absolute to missing every other note, but she doesn't like the socialize. You have a stand side and pet my fat cat and uh, sit down and play games. That's it.

And I respect it. I mean, that's less money for me, you know, but guitar hero. Hey, man, I'll take I've got to be a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a

little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a

little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a little bit more of a when she's taking a shower, I bust in, I pull my trousers down, and I start taking a big old wisdom in front of her, and she starts laughing and yelling me to get out. I tell her, all right, hold on, give me a second.

And then I pop a squat in the stink of the entire room and then leave afterwards. The worst moment is she takes up the whole goddamn bed. And I, I've, I've sleepin' at King's Side bed. I feel like to eat chips in there all once in a while. I go, all right, yeah, I go ahead, you know, we have to be propped up a foot of bed. I go, to eat chips in there all once in a while. I go, all right, yeah, go ahead. We have to be propped up at the foot of the bed. I go, yeah, go ahead.

Do you should bang? Do you think whatever? I go to sleep. And me personally, I like to sleep like a free man. I sleep buttole naked. And I get some crumbs and every crumb and every crack in my own body. I'm like, oh, dude, what is this?

It really affects my sleep. As she takes up the entire bed, which is impossible to do on a king's back, it's not that you do it anyway. No follow up questions. So that really affects your sleep on just crumbs everywhere. Yeah, sometimes I'll lay down three seconds later. I feel like a

cactus is singing me. Like, get up and I go, God, thank crumbs all over me. I'm smackin. I'm hidden it. She was as it was her. I'm macning the hidden the bagging them all over the floor. I go, listen, next time, think it down to the dinner table. There is no next time it's always the dinner table, so he's the bad. So she's on a heavy diet of ramen noodles and chips is what it sounds like. And she's still skinnier than a twig, man, it's unbelievable. I wish I had that body. I'll tell you what. So the best moment, um, let's just read this again. Yeah, it's a lot of your being in the shower.

And then you're squatting down. What, what are you doing in the shower? I'm taking a sheet in the toilet and filling up the whole bathroom with my ass. Got it. Okay. So now it sounds like though, yeah, so this is an unbelievable move. All right. So it sounds to me.

She's in the shower. You go and you start peeing standing up and then at some point you decide to go number two and you reverse it and sit down on the toilet. Is that accurate? Well, you see, sometimes I like to switch it up and I like to pee standing, sitting down and then poop standing up.

But if I'm really feeling north of an ogle ahead and do that, yeah, you standing up and sit down standing up. But if I'm really feeling north of it, I'll go ahead and do that. Yeah. He's standing up and sit down in the soup. It really depends on the type of day. So is she gets pretty mad? I mean, what is she under shower sooner? I want to say, I want to say mad. I will maybe a little bit mad. I mean, she's her. Brandon, I mean, you take, I don't know for an example let's say I don't know your sister your brother or whatever walks in well I guess right man man it's different but your sister walks in and she takes a big ol honkin hoagie down with the toilet thinking the entire place up

you know it is while you're taking a hot skinny shower you know that's not very nice because then you got to immediately hop out if you finish you, there's a whole process to it. Well, that was gonna be my question. Is she on the same team? I think it's funny, you know, does she retaliate with it? No, no, no, no, no, no, that's a thing. She won't even fart in front of me. I'm like, when you're gonna, when you're gonna pop this little suit in front of me,

she goes, why do you care so much? And I go, that means you're comfortable around me. You know, if you go, I will never do that. This is because I don't think I'm ever gonna do that. While I'm in front of her, I'm ripping it like it's a Beyblade, you know. Hahaha. Do you see a really like a Beyblade as out of us? Like the little toy that you got. Hahaha.

Beyblade, Beyblade, let it rip, you know. Oh my God. Have you guys gone on any dates since she's gotten there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually just recently got back from city. I took her up there because I brought a new, like a Japanese ramen joint opened up. I guess she's way more Asian than I am. She's way more Asian than I am. They go in and she sees all these figurines from all her different shapes and shows. She goes, oh, this name,

oh, this name, that name, I go, that's crazy. They all look the same. And she calls me racist for that. But I don't understand it. A fun story, fun story, true story. Once a Chinese market with my mom, she's full blooded Chinese. And I lost her one time and I kept on walking around in the entire place and I can only see the back of the head of them. And I kept on thinking every single one of them was my mom, but it wasn't. I kept on going up to the same mom, mom, they turned around and I see them, I go, oh, sorry, my back, oh, my back, sorry.

And now we came up like a whistling thing, you know, I'd whistle'd whistle she whistles back. It's kind of like an echo location type of deal. It's a true story. I'm not racist, I swear. What is your mom think? What is your mom think of that? What your mom say? Think of the whole whistled situation. You need any loss in a Chinese supermarket. Both. Both. Both? Yeah. She fully understands. No, she fully understands. She fully understands.

Who's I, actually, who's idea was it to do the whistle program? I'm sorry. See that one more time. Who's idea was it to install the whistle technique? Oh, me. I get, I like overthink a lot. And I get super confused. And I go, all right, I'm just going to start whistling. And then she whistles back.

I'll do like, I'll go, I'll do like, and then she whistle right back to me. And like, I lost dog to the owner. Me, Lee sprint back and find her. Yeah, I like that. Hopefully don't get a confused with any of this. You know, I was going to say, if you run into any issues of any gals thinking you're like cat calling them whistle and at them, or has that been? Yeah, a little, little 12 year old me is cat calling up guys and girls,

we're whistling at them. That was like, assistant on made when I was a wee little, a lab. Well, this is a while ago. Okay. Okay. There's a long, long time ago. Okay.

Yeah. Okay, gotcha. All right. Well, so I mean, this your girlfriend lives in Breeds, ramen noodles. I mean, I have never met anyone talk about ramen as much as you guys have. She's full on college students. She's on the college student that I had a role in ramen.

So she's still in school. I forget. She's still in school. No, she's not in school. No that I forget she's still in school? Oh, no, she's not in school. No, she is. What she doing for a job. Did you get a job down there? Not yet. I told her, Hey, you know, well, she actually just got back from working a fire expand from late, late June to 4th of July.

So she got paid for that like, I don't't know what, 800, 700 dollars for that much. And then she came back and she was like, you might have like a week vacation. I should, I said, you know what, you brought home like 700, 800 dollars. Uh, sure, I'll let you go ahead and do that. But then you got to find a job. How do you find a job? What do you think in what kind of job you're thinking about trying to help or find? I don't know. I have a friend that just started up her own nail-sexy business.

I was like, hey, you know, there's an old childhood, one-off childhood, an old teenage friend of mine that I knew during high school. His girlfriend opened up like a nail salon business. So, you know, I might talk to her and see if I can get you a job there. Would you be interested? She goes, oh yeah, I'd love to do that. I'd love to do that. I'd go, oh, sure, yeah, I'll go ahead and talk to her. I never did. Why not?

I just forgot. I'll be honest with you. Okay. Well, this is your reminder to call your buddy and see if you can get her a job. Yeah, but that's a thing. That means the king at Midwest could buy. So I'll tell you what I go, hey, man, my old grand my 1999 grand marquee can only fit about like two boxes. Could you out buy you a 30 pack of your choice? And if you in like $40 worth of gas, if you want to come up to KT, help me put some of her stuff in your truck and then drive down in my place. Now that's a 330 pack and 40 bucks of gas right there baby girl.

Here he goes. Yeah, I might be able to do something like that. Yeah hold on let me call you back. It hangs up in the never-fought me ever again. Okay so that connection may no longer be there is what you're saying. I mean it's there but is it really though that's the real question you know. Well I think that you might have to find another lead on a job then. Yeah yeah she she playing any applications in or anything like that? No not yet you see there's a thing going on a my job too. The owner of the company recently came down to my department and said, so we were told that you guys think you're the first department down here

and I'm like, hold on now. Now that I may believe that, but I never said any of that. Nobody in this department has said that to anybody. I know how you got that unless you can read my mind which I doubt you can, if you can't profess your ex. But I've never said that about anything. And then you said, well, I know you guys won't raise this.

And I'm not wanting to come down here and pat you guys on the back, but you guys aren't doing a good job. We're just gonna have a sore like that. So just basically you got told, yeah, go screw yourselves, and you're not gonna get paid or anything. I go, all right, I did it at six.

I'm gonna find a new job. And recently I just went up to HRI woman and she goes, why is your performance in Lackin' so much? I go, well, this is the reason why. That's the reason why. They go, huh, too bad, I go, scam, all right. So we'll see what's gonna happen. I'm gonna fly to a couple other places

and see if I can get a job there. But a lot of my coworkers have seen that clip. The guys posted on your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, stuff, so forth. And they really thoroughly enjoyed it and keep on telling me that I should come up. You're giving my supervisor saw that one point. Yeah, I think I said this on the last podcast you should. You should get up there. There's some clubs in Kansas City, you know, just start doing open mics and just start talking about your life, honestly. Yeah. Maybe right. Yeah, but what do I start out with?

You know, I can't be like a Larry David, what the fuck is the stage? Look at everybody. They never mind and walk off. I got to start with something. I got like no material. I don't know what to do.

Well, here we go, Charlie. This is your wheelhouse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're talking to a death coming from the Charles. It's up. Yeah, you're coming. This is a decorated stand-up comedian you have on the line. So Charlie give him some advice.

Well, first bit of advice is write five facts about yourself and then write punchlines to that, you know, so write five facts and then just try and write a quick punchline. Less words is better. That don't that should give you something around three minutes, which should be a good thing to kind of get your bearings. You know, a lot of the stand up, the open

mics give you three to five minutes. So that's a good start right there. And the other thing you got remembers, you're going to get up the first time and you might bomb horrendously. I have a feeling you can probably just keep talking yourself into, you know, into some jokes, you know, like if you just get up there and start talking, you might find some jokes. I won't rely on that necessarily, but just get up there and you want to be comfortable bombings. You want to be comfortable getting up there and nobody laughing and just holding your own.

I think you'd be good at that. And here's a question. Has anyone ever in their hot five just gone up and only done crowd work? Because I think you could be the guy. Yeah, I mean, Ethan, you could definitely get up there and do some crowd work. That's for sure. But if the crowd definitely thought about that, I don't really lie on that. Yeah, you, you, right. So just start writing. So know that you can probably do some crowd work and fill the five. Here's the thing you're going to want to do is record every single set you do because you might find some jokes, some things you say on the fly that you forget after you say

it, but it was really funny the way you set it because you get this adrenaline when you kind of are up on stage, no one's laughing and you got to like dig yourself out of the hole. You get this little adrenaline hit and sometimes that helps you find some really good jokes, but you want to record it because you'll forget it shortly thereafter. I say give it a go man, you're a funny dude. I'm definitely thinking about it. A lot of people are said that I'd definitely be good at it.

I said, we'll see. You know, it's, I don't know. I got to really do it. And if I go out there and I bomb, then I bomb. No, I'm just guessing the city. I'm never going to see these people again. And if I do, that's really an awkward run in. I don't know. I mean, I think that that's the right mentality to have. I think. Yeah, just go do it. You don't need to think. Look up where there's an open mic and ways Kansas City closest city to you. Is that right? A populated city near me. Yeah.

All right. Go to Kansas City and do an open mic. Yeah, just Google Kansas City open mic. I'm doing it right now. I'll give you an option here. I Kansas City open mic. All sorts open mic Friday 630 to 930. Poetic underground open mic night plus poetry. So you know, you can also do poetry to it. Poetry tonight. Yeah. Hey, that would act. You should do you should try slam poetry.

I think you might be kind of good at that. I did that once. How to go. I'm thinking about just doing like a ticket modeling business, you know, letting people see my after-free. I actually know I get paid 35 bucks for that. What? What? How did we get to nude modeling, Ethan?

Were you done nude modeling? Is that what you said? Oh, no, but I mean, hey, it's 2023, you know? Some people like some good old blue collar, beard, belly, Asian I mean, hey, it's 2023 now, you know, some people like some good old blue collar beard valuation looking fellas, you know, they want to see that little gut with a little bit of stretch marks to don't. Yeah, I mean, hey, I don't know, you know, Ethan's messing around. I'm not going to do that. You sound like he wants to spread his cheeks on only fans, you know, I would be worried about the new motto and because you might get crumbs

everywhere. That's what you say. You know, some people are into that. Yeah, it might be your niche. Crumbs in the crack. That could be a crack. Yeah, there you go. That's my handle right there. Well, Ethan, we're very excited for you, man. How old are you again? 22 23 24 24 Somewhere around there, but like minus one. I'm like 21 22 23 Okay, yeah, well, you got a bright future ahead of you my man. Yeah, get out there to that open my god It's on the 14th. What what or what day is today? That's the 11th you got three days get over there All right, and what's the place called? Jesus.

Charlie is now your manager. All sorts open mind. You want to manage your fridge at the store? I'll pay you about $5. All right, listen, all sorts open mic. Get there, it's 6.39.30, get there early, get there at 6 o'clock to sign up toasted by local Iris Apple Quest. Sign up 630 nevermind shows at 7. So get

there 630 sign up. You'll probably have three to five minutes. Write those facts about yourself or just go riff. But all you got to do is get up on stage. That's the hardest part. Just give it a go. You're on stage. I can do that one more time to place because you cut out. Oh my God. I'm sorry. I'm hard. I'm harder here. Charlie. Now you know how your manager feels. It's all sorts open, Mike. It's 20 all sorts open, mic. That's what it's called. The pH coffee. So it must be at this coffee house pH coffee 2200 Lexington Avenue Kansas City, Missouri. Looks like it's Friday nights 630 to 930. So you got a few days. Okay. I got a few days to prep. Yeah. Also, we want another update on how the standup goes. Yeah, we do.

Next time we're recording in a couple of months, you got to call in again, and then we can get an update on this. You know what? That's a good idea. That's a good idea. You should film your set. Bring your girlfriend with you. Have her film your set, and then we can analyze your

set right here on the belly to a podcast how's that sound. You said anal. Sorry, I'm usually distracted. Yeah, I'll be more than willing to do that. I'll be more than willing to do that. Sorry, am I bad? I get you to be distracted. I'll be more than willing to do that.

I'll have her a film that for me And she's been very supportive about it. She told me that I could probably do well. So she thinks you're funny too. What? She thinks you're funny then too, because my wife does not think I'm funny. Yeah, she thinks I'm pretty funny. She goes, yes, I'm your jokes, Lance,

and me your jokes don't land with me. I go, all right, I'll remember that next time. But taking a dump during the shower always lands. That joke always lands. I'm going to warn you about it a lot of times it doesn't. Okay. Yeah. 2023 is not going to land that much.

It's a coin toss. You never know until you try. I got to work the crowd. All right. Yeah. You go work the crowd. Let's know how it goes. All right.

Thank you very much for your time. Boy. That's for calling in again. We'll see how you're doing good. All right, bye bye now. Bye bye now. Oh, good. I am so glad he called back in. I am too. He I love that kid. He's a great fella. Great fellow. He's going to get out there. He's going to bomb a few times. He might not though. He's gonna bomb a few times. He might not though. He's... Well, everybody bombs at some point to understand. So he's gonna have to do that. You want a bomb, some point. Yeah, I don't know. We might have found our Justin Bieber.

I think we've got to take him to the mat. I hope he does it. I hope he films it. And it'd be great to watch. I would. I want to see it. I want to air it live. This five days should we go down to the scene show up and just be like, where are you? He doesn't show up. I'm a couple two, three, four, 500 miles away. Oh, it's good to talk to him again. The internet, the internet, they like Ethan. I like Ethan too. Me as well.

Who's able to come back on. So guys, what a way to end this episode of belly it up. And I don't know. Yeah. You know what? It's just everybody crossed your fingers for Ethan as he ventures into this new new job potentially. Yeah. We should have what we forgot to do is tell him not to quit yet.

He's another job. Yeah. It kind of sounded like he was putting all the things that basketball. Hopefully he doesn't quit that other job until he could bomb a few times and then start to take off. He's a smart guy. I think he'll figure it out.

Hopefully he listens to his podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Well, guys, thanks for tuning into another episode of the BellyDup podcast. Charlie, I might have to try the old, uh, taking a number two while the wife's in the show. I can't say I recommend that. And I think Ann would, um, you know, smack your round a little for that. She'd be pissed. Oh, mad. She runs the show in that relationship. Yeah. A little bit. I watched her beat your ass and pickleball yesterday.

Okay. You were sweating up. It was hot out. She didn't break us wet. The wind was not my favorite. It was a whole thing. Okay, so just The ball has holes in it. The wind's not an issue. All right. All right. Well, I don't forget to tip your bar tenders. I see you next one. Yeah, bye. Bye. and see you next one. Yeah, bye-bye now.
