Miles what is cooking Charlie we're back in the saddle. How's it feeling back in the saddle looking him?
That's not an elite key.
I it sounds good to me.
Charli. Cool. That's all that matters. Welcome back to the Belly to podcasts. Everybody we are at
Stenys in Milwaukee. Are you been to Stenys a few times?
Yeah. Last I was here. I said that table right over there. My sister was here. I think at Stenys in Milwaukee. Are you been to Stenys a few times, Trinidad?
Yeah, last time I was here, I said that table right over there.
My sister was here.
I think it was a trivia night or something.
Bingo, I don't know.
I'm giving it was trivia, there's no way you want.
No, I, and first of all,
Frick you, second of all, I'm not that bad at trivia, depending upon the topic.
It's got to be the right topic.
It's got to be the right topic.
I can imagine Packer History trivia, you're going to be pretty good.
I'm pretty good at that.
Basically, anything to do with Wisconsin tourism, pretty good.
Yeah.
You know, stock market, Charlie, I don't.
Well, that is actually not something I'm historically good at.
I remember I decided to purchase a stock one time on an application on my phone.
Yep. And it was a, was it game stop?
It was actually, I believe them, I did do game stop and I lost money on it. I bought a marijuana cigarette stock.
Yep. And I thought it did well. It did not. It was a Canadian one. And then I, what else
did I purchase? Anyway, whatever I purchased, I gave it to my buddy and I said, I don't
know what I'm doing. And he looked at my stuff. He's like, yeah, you really don't. So,
no, I agree, Miles, I agree.
So, now, the stock market isn't what I wanted to talk to you
about.
What do you want to talk to me about, Miles?
I need to ask you some questions about your most recent
performance on the Big Ten Network.
Ooh.
I don't even know what's funny about this.
What did I do bad? So Charlie was on the big 10 network.
Yeah.
And then he was in a, I remember what the challenge was called, but Charlie was tasked with throwing
nerf football.
Yeah, yeah, I remember that to someone in the crowd to see how many he can get in 30 seconds. Yeah. Yeah. And Charlie
That was kind of a sad performance. Oh, oh, excuse me ladies and gentlemen. I forgot we have miles
Mont Pleasure
former
quarterback in
What was it? D2 D2. Yeah, I played two games. I wanted to half early.
First of all, Miles, I want to tell you this.
My form was good.
These are nerf footballs with the wings on them.
But do you remember the first three throws that you did?
It was harder than it looks and there was a lot of pressure.
Those suckers sailed 15 feet high from your target.
I know. Why was that?
I don't know.
That's what I'm trying to ask you.
What happened?
Is it a rotator cuff issue?
No, it's because I was elevated and he was de-e-e-e-ed.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I was throwing down slope.
So actually, I'm used to throwing on a football field,
you know, when I'm out there training.
Well, of course, yeah.
When you are getting your timing patterns down. Well, you know, when I'm out there, when you are getting your timing
patterns down, well, you know, honestly, how many times are you throwing down? Well, that
and how many times you throw into a stationary receiver? You're kind of a long bomb guy,
right? I mean, if they would call me in for the Hail Mary's back when I was third string
QB on the on the Spartans back in the day. Yeah. Well, I just had to say I saw it. I was excited. Got a little bit disappointed.
I thought you were going to do better than well, they said in the broadcast that Mike
Allston had like 15. Yeah. And you got like eight.
Well, that's pretty damn good, dude. Yeah, but he was a fullback.
Shit. Um, and you know who you traditionally put at fullback is the guys who have stones for hands and arms and legs.
Well, Miles, I don't know if you know this, but I tell Funnies for a living, okay?
So if anyone and that performance was a joke,
oh, wow.
Burn.
Were you just sitting on your couch? This is what I want to get into. Were you just sitting on your couch on a
Saturday morning flipping through the channels and then all the sun you see your buddy on the telly?
No, I saw it online after. Oh, did you? Yeah, but
search Charlie Baron's big 10 network. Don't you don't need to search it go watch that video's live dude It's not on and everyone but hey everyone who will see is it if it's like a tweet or something make sure you respond and say wow Charlie what an arm
You want
Miles there was actually
Kid there holding up a sign of my noggin. I saw that because you panicked, because you were off target with the real targets.
And then you tried to be funny and throw at the guy in your head.
So there was this other kid holding an op sign, and I accidentally hit that.
That wasn't even on purpose.
I just have that bet.
I was, if it makes you feel better and all honesty, I was very unimpressed with how I threw
those nerf footballs.
Yeah, I think most people were, it lives rent free inside my head.
Hey, no matter how this podcast goes down, let's head to the park.
Yeah.
So maybe get some tosses in.
You want to?
Yeah.
Actually, you know what?
The other day was the opener for both season.
Um, do you ever bow, huh?
I don't bow, huh?
I have a bow.
Yeah.
I want to get into it.
We should kind of, we might, maybe while you're here, we go over't bow hunt. I have a bow. I want to get into it.
We should kind of, maybe while you're here,
we go over to the deal, fill up the paper plate.
Yeah, let's do it.
You know what I'm actually doing in my garage,
the side of my garage, I'm putting a target for my recurve.
You know, but I can't tell anyone else
because, hey, I think it's kind of illegal,
you know, to do it where I'm doing it. You know, but also I don't tell anyone else because, hey, I think it's kind of illegal, to do it where I'm doing it.
You know, but also I don't want anyone else
to know I have it there because then they'll give it a go
and then all of all these holes in the side of my garage.
So I'm confident enough in myself to keep
filling a paper play and I could just put a board
in the corner, which is probably what I should do.
But true Wisconsin fashion, you're a true Midwestern boy.
If you are better at shooting a bow than throwing a football, I will have to say true.
Yeah, I am, but that's not saying much.
And also dude, that's not a real football.
That's a nerf football.
And I'd like to see you do it that many times.
The whole different, um, whole different.
Well, we may have to do it at some point. Yeah. Well, thanks for bringing that up.
Yeah, I just had to discuss it with you because I saw it and I was like, it's going on,
Charlie. You can just say, was it windy?
What are you hung over? I was, I was playing sunglasses on an overcast day. That's the other thing. You look at the other two hosts on that show.
Neither are wearing sunglasses.
And I just full sun goggles on.
And that is also funny because the whole intro and stuff,
the guy who was introducing you,
was like, newer, the camera was and was like talking
to the camera, introducing the game.
And you were just turned the other way. And I was like newer the camera was and was like talking to the
camera introducing the game and you were just turned the other way the whole time.
I was like, you just were like, I mean, because you were throwing away from the camera.
Uh-huh.
But when he was introring it, you didn't like turn around and like wave or whatever.
You can't hear up there, man.
You know that those little like, uh, uh, burger
king thing. I was going to come and like turn you around. Was it? Oh, that's so awkward,
though, and that like, where'd you see this video? I don't know. Jared sent it to me. He
sent it. It was on Twitter. Oh, really? Yeah. We, we, we, uh, we retweeted it too. So
did you shoot? I got to retweet that it too. So did you shoot I got to retweet that so go to
bait up pod on Twitter and see Charlie's historic performance. Well Charlie
should we put on another historic performance today with some collars or what?
Yeah, Miles, you know, and if the big 10 tailgate ever comes to your D2 school
maybe you'll get a shot to do that. You're right. That one hurts. Turn. Welcome to the Ballet Up podcast
who we chitchat with today.
This is Anthony.
Anthony. Hello, sir.
Yep. From the terrible state of Illinois.
Illinois. We're in Illinois, Anthony.
Over in Arlington Heights, one of the North West
Elberve.
Oh, that's miles.
That is where the Chicago Bears are potentially moving to.
Is that right, Anthony?
Oh, yeah.
I know nothing about this.
Oh, yeah, we both fell.
So Soldier Field is a historic field, but it's a dump. Okay, Anthony's words. An
Anthony are you a bears fan?
You know, I am, but I don't really care about before that much.
I just think with the bears a little bit, I was a little bit of a packer
sand as a kid, a little bit on 19. Yeah. So you're still a kid. Yeah,
you're still a kid, Anthony. There is time. Yeah, there's
time to change your ways. Why the why are you? You were a Packers fan as a kid, dude, and you grew up
and you gave it up. Yeah, you saw the Packers go to a Super Bowl. You saw the and they won. You saw
the Bears go to the Super Bowl and what they do Anthony. Well, you know, it was more just to annoy my dad, who's a bear fan.
And I was like, you know, let's take the side that annoy him.
I can buy to the drill. That's what I would do. So actually, you know, Anthony, I think
you're pretty smart. So whatever Charlie says, don't want to do them.
I say keep annoying your dad. Okay. Be a Packer, Shan Anthony.
Well, you know, the bears played the other day against the Packers. I think I watched five minutes.
I was like, they'll find a way to lose.
Yeah.
Doesn't matter who they play.
They need to they'll find it.
Yeah, and then if you're looking for something a little more entertaining in the football world,
you should go to the Big Ten Network Twitter and see Charlie throw footballs on the big 10
networks. Anthony, I should have, I should have been like Justin Fields and just ran those
balls over to the guy. He would have gotten more in. I would have. I had no business throwing
at that point, but while Anthony, Charlie, I heard what you hear? No, what you hear?
No, I had a friend who went to the brewers game with the U-Pitch.
He studied was very excited to watch you.
But all that opening picture,
you did a fantastic job.
I did.
Really a fantastic job.
That's a rise, it didn't go 15 to the high.
No, bro, I went a wee bit outside.
Just a bit outside, but um, thank you. Tell your friend
I say thank you for spreading the good news of mine. Yeah. Amazing right arm. Unlike miles who's been
trashing it this entire podcast. What's on your mind? What's on your mind, Anthony?
A couple of things. So number one,
I we need to make fun of it one way more. You guys need to do more of this
Joe's on it because it's terrible here. And I got to list the things for videos that
can help you out. Okay, give us give us give us your top three things that are
the worst. Sorry, give me your top three worst things about Illinois.
Number one, the bears. You are taxed. No, honestly, this not bad. It's the tax. It's terrible.
You can't make any money. All right, that's number one. What's your tax?
I don't know, but let's just say you don't make money. Let's count it as an awesome. Okay. All right. It's big. Number two. Everything. Failed. So failed
tax in Aronson Heights is probably I was my parents. So we have you know
ideas of colonial home with just a small little lot and it's like $8,000. You
go to North Carolina 800 for three acres.
Properly.
Oh, the property taxes are big problems.
All right.
So Texas is number one.
What's number two?
He's talking like he's 49, that 19.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know, that's what we talk about.
No one like how we can escape.
That's all we talk about.
Number two would be, I don't know if you knew this, hunting is so bad here. You're not even
allowed to hunt without hunting rifle except for this pasture and it can only hold one
round and it can only be one type of straight-walled cartridges, nothing fancy. So I said, heck with it, I'm going to Wisconsin. It's less better.
So, Hunter, terrible.
So many rules, too many problems.
They make everything a problem.
Number three, you can't even buy fireworks in our state.
I think that's a big no-go.
Nobody should live in here if you can't buy fireworks.
Well, Wisconsin is kind of the place,
you know, you need to go.
We've got a plenty of fireworks stands here, man.
I mean, a surplus of that.
I load up every, every year me and my brother,
we do a little criminal activity.
We head up over the border, load up, come back over
to a little smuggle.
Ah, you're a bootlegger.
You're a firework bootlegger.
I like it.
You know what's really interesting, though, is if you look at Wisconsin and Illinois, you've got all these
stoners going to Illinois for their weed and then all these pyros going to Wisconsin for their fireworks. It's a given it's that it's not go ahead go ahead no it's just it's miserable everything is
everything's in or do I much rather go to a stand all right so much any other
state with something so first so first of all I mean I could get on board with
number one and two but number three with the fireworks.
There's nothing worse than the fireworks.
I feel like...
All there is, I just, you know, listen and hold on.
Let's think a little bit more.
You know, it's really just everything.
You know, have you guys ever heard of the app
next door to social media app?
Next door app, sure.
Okay, so me and my brother, we do a lot of side jobs.
We do drywall, we do landscapes, we do tons of stuff.
So I put myself out on that app.
And I said, you know, you can't have
to meet people in the neighborhood with snow plowing anything.
All day I get dinged with the stupidest things
these carons are obsessed
up. There's a noise. What happened with the noise? There's a cat on the side of the road.
There's this, it's like come down, go do something. Nobody know, no one has anything to do
so they complain about everything. Well, I mean Arlington Heights, that's kind of
that's sort of a well-to-do suburb, isn't it? Oh yeah yeah well to do for sure they know they do not like redneck stuff which is
all fairing that. Well how many in use being the culprit of all the fireworks they got to think
that all those are gunshots on that app right? No we actually about six years ago the memorial day
me and my brother lit off like two mortars. And this guy, three houses down,
he called the police department because there was a homicide, the other side of the town,
a week prior, and he just wanted to be safe. Yeah. And the cops showed up with all their
flashlights. And I'm like, yeah, I'm like, gosh, like, we put a bunch of extra fireworks
in the fire pit. And I warned him, I'm like, be careful, those things might things might blow up and I want you to pull and you're done out of the fire pit over there
I'm like do people really have nothing else to do? Well okay
First of all dude if you're lighting off mortars
Was this on the 4th of July? Memorial Day. Memorial Day. Memorial Day. Memorial Day. Yeah.
So that's not historically the fireworks kind of celebration.
So you're going to get a visit.
And by the way, this is what I'm most curious about.
When the police officer came over to check on those mortars you just lit off, did you put
the fireworks in the fire pit when he got there, when he was there? Why did you put fireworks in the fire pit?
Why didn't he was, when he got there,
when he was there, why did you put fire?
No, so we had.
So no, so we had let off two mortars.
The cops came like 15 minutes after we were kind of done.
But we also had some firecrackers
and some Roman candles.
The firecrackers, you know, how they they break apart and just kind of like sweep off the rough
bedding and explode. Oh yeah, yeah. What we would do is clean up. We just toss up firecrackers, not mortar,
such as the firecrackers and the fire pit and let the blown up ones burn off and a couple
straight ones will pop here and there. But the cut, there were like three pops and they're all just like
patrolling our yard and I'm like, oh gosh, because
there's other towns around here that are like big old bull out like on the 4th of July,
they're blowing up the stuff right in front of the cops. They don't care. You know, like
you said, our nice little well to do, little what's so problematic. What's the weirdest
thing you've ever done with fireworks? Oh, okay. So this here, I had a four inch mortar class B stopper deal.
Did you measure it from the base or where did you measure it from? No, I think it's
the nine hundred or four. Okay, so you got four inch four inch thick. That is wow. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a big on order so what did you do with that
sucker I got this from my job the
previous summer and I was like well we
got to get pvc for because I can't
really find it too so I got a five
gallon bucket filled it would
gravel compact it put the stuff pvc
in the middle to keep it secure
from bouncing around look it out to
a field at my uncle well the fuse was super long and
it had a electrical hook up and to me what looked like a, when you call it lighter,
it started.
So we're videotaping, I light it within 0.001 seconds, the thing takes off.
Nope, if my head was over it, let's just say, would not be here on for me today. So you are a full-blown pyromaniac. I mean, I wouldn't even know where to get
that. I wouldn't even know where to get a four-inch mortar, would you? Wisconsin, actually.
No, I didn't even get it there because I went to a stand this year and showed a picture
to the guy and said, oh, those are class B. He's like, yeah, we don't, you have to have
a special license to buy those things.
He's forced out of them or whatever.
Well, where did you get them?
So, this guy at my construction job in, when I was graduating high school, in the shop,
there were four of them just laying around on the table.
And I'm like, hey, are you doing anything with these? Can I have them?
It's like, yeah, the team's come up for one, they'll be good to go.
That was a sweet.
She said four mortars, just sitting on his table.
So it's been a good, a good old jewel bag and the bag a bag.
Sit around.
Um, okay. a good old jewel bag and the bag of bag around. Okay. Well, I feel like every three minutes we keep talking, I feel like I got to start
over a little bit with you. Cause as soon as I think I got you figured out, you pull
out a four inch mortar. Yeah. And then you tell me that you're 19 years old. It sounds
like you've been living on this earth much longer than that. Yeah. Um, but I like that. You're keeping us guessing. Um,
did. So the mortar went off. Was it sweet though? Like was it pretty cool? Oh, yeah, it was,
it's like something the park is trick with their law. It was, you know, pretty big good end of the
the show. Good finale piece. Nice. All right. Well, you ever come close to killing anyone with a firework?
Yeah, I really know. Have you ever heard of Wakanda, Charlie? Wakanda?
Like Wakanda, Illinois. Yeah, up north of Lake County.
I was thinking Black tan for a second.
Oh, really?
What conda Illinois?
Yeah, it's a little bit smaller town.
Okay, but it's off one of the major roads.
We had cousin to have five acres out there.
And we would do my cousin to buy fireworks.
We do stuff.
And we would, you know know sometimes you put the wrong
order in the wrong tube and it blow up they were so small but nothing nothing
crazy we we mean my brother we like to you know what's anorite is yeah I know
what's anorite is oh yeah oh yeah so we go up to Wisconsin we shoot on a guy's
private property and we take microwaves, Oh, God, you name it. We take it
out 200 yard. Blow with the smithering. Yeah, I mean, that's not that's just that standard
practice. That's that's just good old fashioned fun right there. Well, man, we appreciate
calling in. This is great. Last thing I'll say, it just, I, I am wondering why you still live in Illinois.
If you hate it so much, why not just move across the board.
That's the thing, you know, really all of my family here,
for me to move the amount of time I was then just coming back and missing out on things.
It's really not worth it.
Once my, once, he, my, both my grandparents
are alive, I, you know, I want to see them. I don't want to like move away and let them
miss out on a lot of things. But once my bag, kind of requires, he's fucking maybe down
south like Nashville or maybe one of the Carolina's. But I think I'd like to stay in the Midwest.
I'm thinking a little bit of Michigan.
I don't know. So, well, if I do think of Michigan, dude, you're right next to Wisconsin.
Why are you going all the way to Michigan?
There's something about Michigan that I feel like it's a little more, it's like it's like
Wisconsin a lot, but it's a little more, you know, there's a little I don't know. I like them both.
I don't know. Not sure. Yeah, but yeah, that's not really yet.
Yeah. Well, um, yeah, that makes sense. Well, we appreciate calling in and
stay strong down there in Illinois. And, uh, yeah, also stay safe with the fireworks.
Oh, yeah, I expect some content really with, uh, you guys don't take advantage of how miserable it is.
Well, we got the taxes and the lack of fireworks.
We can really dig into that.
That sounds like fun and whatever.
What the, what was your thing with the guns again?
They can't let you shoot in.
How many times do you need to shoot at a deer to hit the sucker?
No, so that's the thing.
So I last year for the first time,
I got my own hunting rifle.
I mean, I didn't look in for years.
Like, what do I want?
Let's type down and all that.
Well, then I come to find out,
you weren't even allowed to use regular hunting rifles.
So think about everything you've used growing up, Charlie.
We're not allowed to use.
Only shotguns.
So then last year, they told us the state said,
okay, fine, you can use a hunting rifle,
but you can't use the 99% of calibers
that everybody uses the hunt deer.
You have to use the 1% and nobody really wants you.
Another control. I'm sorry for the overreach of the Illinois government, my man. Well,
have fun in Michigan. Okay. All right. You know, as a bears fan, living in Illinois who wants to
go to Michigan, stay with scouts and I'm trying to find sympathy in my soul for you. I'm going to keep digging and you keep removing. Okay.
All right, Charlie. My thank you guys.
Be good. My guy. We see that. Yep. That guy. Anthony is going to have a tragic fireworks
accident is what it's I think so. I think it's a word.
Anthony, if you're listening to this back, my man.
Yeah, we're just, we're doing the math.
I believe the class B fire works to the professionals.
Yeah, the next time you see some just hanging out
on your buddy's desk, let it sit there a while longer.
Also, is that really where you should store that?
Just sitting on top of the desk, you know?
I mean, probably not good idea.
Just takes one dude who's like, oh man, now would be a great time to spark this bond, you know, I mean, probably not good idea. Just takes one dude who's like, oh,
man, now would be a great time to spark this bong, you know, and little paper, fire,
something. I don't know. Things happen. Stay safe, Anthony. Stay safe. Stay safe, my
friend. Hello, who do we got on the line? Hi, Miles. This is Monica Monica. What's going on?
Not much. Hi, Monica Charlie's here too. He says hi.
Hi, Charlie.
What are you guys doing? Well, we're having a little concoction here over at the bar. We're in Milwaukee.
Oh, nice. Where are you? I am in Hartford, Wisconsin.
Oh, yeah, Hartford. Oh, yeah, just down the road, a ways. Well, why don't you
belly up to the bar with us? What's on your mind? Well, I need some advice and
depending on your advice, I might have a bicycle or trade.
Okay.
All right.
I like this.
What's what's the I vice question?
How can I get my husband to stop buying tools?
Okay.
Ones every tool made ever, but he still finds a way to buy more
tools. I'm
I'm I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm on edge, little on edge. Tell us what's causing you so much pain with these tools besides maybe cutting off your finger.
Well, yeah, I guess that's one thing we recently had a trip to the emergency room because we nailed his finger to a board, but that's another story.
You're not supposed to put your thumb on top of the nail head.
You're not supposed to put your thumb on top of the nail head.
Right.
You know, it sounds dumb, but we've all come pretty close to that. So, um, good for him.
Um, the bigger issue is that he's got to have 47 of everything.
So I don't mind it.
Okay, I need this tool to do this job and I need this tool to do this job.
Yeah. And I don't even mind having that he has two of everything because I get that sometimes
you need more than one. And he has this kind of, you know, drill that does this and this
kind of drill does that, right? But he literally has like eight probably of everything. And
my beef with it is that he has so many that like the garages filled with the tools
and tool chest that you can't find any of them.
Like you have eight and you can't find any of that tool.
So then he has to go take the seminars at least twice a week.
I mean, come on.
Well, okay.
First of all, it doesn't matter how many tools you got.
It's just in our men DNA that we can't really find things very easily.
Doesn't it?
Doesn't you could organize that thing the best label everything?
And for some reason, you just misplaced stuff.
So I don't blame him for that.
And you know, you think about it from his perspective, he's fixing something.
He can't find the right tool. Time is money.
And he can either spend time looking for that tool or just go by a ninth of that
particular. There you go, Charlie.
And I may fall into his category.
I've been more money.
Well, okay, so hold on here.
These things will hold their value. They do hold their value.
Tools historically speaking, it's like Rolex watches, gold tools. Everybody knows.
And I think, you need, well, my first piece of advice would be, we maybe need to reframe your mind a little bit here
in the sense that you see it that he's buying
eight of every tool.
And to me, it sounds like he's a collector.
He's got a collection of tools.
And honestly, nothing's cooler than having a collection, Charlie.
Collect stuff, don't you?
I do.
I collect a lot of things.
Yeah, and I will say that over time,
the value in those will pay for whatever he's currently spending.
The other thing you gotta keep in mind is,
how, what kind of shape is your house in?
Like, do you ever have to call a carpenter, you know?
Oh, no, oh, no, I'm saving a lot of
Yeah, I do I
I mean, I guess I do, you know, I just text my husband hey come fix this
See, I mean for the most part, yes, like the big job he does fix around the house
However, I'm sitting here looking at like four paintings that I've been waiting to have hung on the wall for a very long time.
Oh, okay. Well, I mean, it's the simplest of all of them.
Well, if you're like my wife, you don't need any tools for that. She just takes the remote,
grabs a tack nail, and just hammers the nail in with the remote, and it's crooked and
not in the center of the wall, but at least it got hung up.
And that's why you have fiber modes in your house.
Yeah.
So that one, I don't blame, I don't blame them either because you don't even need tools
for that one.
Okay.
So you got me there.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now is his garage, his garage is disorganized.
Is he a disorganized person or is just his, his garage his disorganizes he had disorganized
person or is just his his
tool life disorganized?
This is tool life.
You know, well, that's probably not
true. I'm actually he's losing
stuff all the time that I have to
then go around and find and I
can find he'll say, oh, it's gone
forever. I've been looking for two
days and I can't find it and I
find it in 30 seconds.
So maybe it's you know what?
This is kind of the thing about this marriage that I think
is we're missing a link here and it's right there.
In front of us, you are organized and good at finding things.
He is not, but he's good at fixing things.
What if you know, you organize his tool room?
Yeah.
What if you do?
What if he comes home one day and boom,
my brother did this for my dad once.
But he went down into the basement for Father's Day.
He organized his entire tool room.
My dad came down and was pissed.
He couldn't find a damn thing.
So maybe don't do that.
Yeah.
No, but I'm going to say if you could see the look of my face right now, yeah.
Okay.
That was a hard week off work to do that.
Yeah.
My grandpa's tool bench was the same way.
He literally needed a map if anyone wanted to find something in that thing.
But, you know, now to maybe give you some advice,
so it would probably lead more on your side.
If you can't find any of the tools that he has,
you should just start selling them to the buy selling trade here.
And he won't even, he'll just think he lost it.
But in reality, you're selling them pocketing the cash
and you got yourself a little fun fund that you can spend.
Yeah.
What do you think of that?
That's a good idea.
Because every once in a while, after I'm wanting for a while, he will go out there and
he'll start to attempt to organize a few things and he'll come in and say, oh, I put together a box
of blah, blah, blah. Can you put that on Facebook Marketplace and sell that for me? And I'm like,
sure, no problem. So, you know, he does, he's open to selling them sometimes. So yeah, maybe if I
just, you know, smuck a few out here and there, he wouldn't even know. Maybe you're the other end
of this whole collector, you know, every
collector has a sales arm of their business.
So maybe you just start selling the stuff that you don't need or maybe you find
two of them, you say, do we need both, you know, and you say, I can sell them and
I put them in the new tool fund, you know, because then he's feeling good
about it. But here's the trick.
You take 80% of the cash.
You take 20% put in his new tool fun.
He's happy. You're happy.
Not a bad compromise there.
That's a good idea. It's a really good idea.
With that, what would you like to buy seller trade?
Do we have enough time to go through it?
I don't think so. I don't think so. I need inventory.
What is the one thing that he has that truly you do not need aid of?
Because I can maybe get behind having different drills, you know, different
drills for different purposes. Oh, so you always want to back up trail.
But like, is there something he has way too many of that literally no one ever needs that many?
something he has way too many of that literally no one ever needs that many.
Tate measures.
One of the problems. We have a hundred tape measures.
You can never have enough tape measures because some tape measures when you send them out miles,
you just have video on this.
The crack point is different.
Yep.
And if you're measuring some a long distance way and it's just you, you know, you need to have a long crack point.
And some of them have the tape measure on both sides of the metal.
Oh, those are cool. And some only have on the one side. Some are automatic.
They zoom back in on their own. Some you pull out and push the thing down.
And there's all different
kinds of ones. I don't know if that's necessarily true. I also want to throw out a quick PSA
on these tape measures. They can be dangerous. Those automatic ones. I sliced my thumb on
a tape measure once when I was a kid on that automatic retreat. So you sometimes when
you're working outside, it's maybe raining a little bit, then it gets a little rusty
in there. Yeah. come out as easy.
So then you got to get a new
one. And then if you cut
yourself on a rusty tape
measure, look, you need another
tetanus shot. So it's either
another tape measure or another
tetanus shot you choose, which
one's cheaper. Yeah.
Well, he just got a tetanus
shot because he just nailed his
finger to a board. So he's
good for a little bit. I think
we blew past that. Let's talk about the board nailing story. So what was he making?
He was making a birdhouse. So we have a small hobby business and he makes birdhouses and
bird theaters and planters. And he was making a birdhouse. That he shut out the name of the business first of all.
It's Gary's gift.
It was named after my father.
He's recently passed away and he was a woodworker.
So we named it after my father.
And so we do little arts and crafts shows
all around the area.
And he was holding the bird house and hit the nail done in and it for hit the
nail in it and it bent and then went into his finger and hit the bone crack the bone.
Oh, not good.
And was he actually did you have to go into the ER with the birdhouse?
Still a tad.
No, he actually he actually pulled it out and got a hammer. The doctor said to him,
thank you for taking the nail out because I don't like that part of this job.
So your husband's a badass extracted his own nail. Yeah, no, what happened was the nail went into his
finger and you needed the hammer and he couldn't find it. They got 14 hammers and he couldn't find the hammer to get the nail out of his finger.
Is that what happened?
Exactly.
Hey, also, I want to say this, by the way, I completely am changing my whole advice deal.
It's a business.
Every tool is a right off.
It's free.
It's basically free free money. Hey, either either your husband gets a new
tool or Uncle Sam gets more money, which would you rather have? Well, now she's going to say they're
all cash business. Are you guys not cash business? No, we're just showing it up the business. Okay,
they are very on the books. I arrest. We are completely on the book. Okay,
that's good. I run the business part. He just does all of the building. So what are we?
Definitely on the book. But are you writing off these tools? Oh,
we that's a no. But most of no, well, we are some of them, but most of them he had before we started the
business. So, well, then business in the business. So in real, in reality, the business can just
buy those tools from you and you can write that off.
That's it. No, no, I mean, that's an inc that you you like you guys can run at an extreme loss this year. Yeah. It starts you you do the you're doing the books start buying tools back one by
one, keep track of it, get a little paper ledger. Yeah. I mean, this is very on the books
in the tax law. We just made you guys so much money. We did. Yeah. And we shouted out the business, I think miles and I are 0.3% owners. Now, what do you think about that?
Well, maybe I'd like 1% of every birdhouse.
Hey, the birdhouse where you where he put his blood on it,
you guys should keep that blood.
It adds to the natural patina of the wood.
Yeah, wood does not patina, but now it do.
No, it's like a new stain. It's like a blood red stained birdhouse.
It attracts coyotes for some reason. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, good for you guys. You're running a great business.
So all in all, Charlie, what it sounds like is it doesn't sound like you need to buy less
tools.
It sounds like you need to be start buying more tools so you can write them off.
There you go.
Well, I think then we're going to have to buy a bigger house because there's no room
in the garage.
Hey, write it off.
You know what?
You can't pull a vehicle in the garage.
So just build another one.
It's just a house is just a bigger birdhouse with a foundation.
You know, it's true.
How cool would be if your front door was a circle, you know?
Little like pegs.
They can get out of it.
Yeah, stand on the bed.
The little perch.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
For the little perch.
Yeah.
Cool.
Well, we saw so many problems for you today.
I think we also, yeah. Actually, I have a completely different attitude coming out of this.
Hell yeah. Yeah. We knew it. She's the business mind. I knew she'd get excited about less taxes.
Less taxes. We found that. We are here for your tax, who pulls. Okay.
We are here for your tax, who pulls, okay?
Yeah, I think I might have
treated more work for our accountant,
but you know, that's his problem.
Not mine.
Exactly.
That's a true business owner right there.
They'll deal with it.
They will.
Yeah, fix it on the back end.
Well, good for you.
All right.
Well, thank you so much guys.
I'm sure the advice.
Yeah, you have a good one and watch out.
Watch out for nails.
Actually, real quick, since I got you on the horn here,
what's the coolest bird you've ever seen in one of your bird
feeders?
You ever seen yourself as a Scarlet
Tannager?
I haven't, but that would be exciting.
I have a Northern flicker that comes that's really cool.
I really like the northern flicker.
I love the northern flicker.
Make a cool sound.
And the theater wax, yes.
And the theater wax,
I mean, those are one of my favorite as well.
Do you let's try and make the sound?
I can't.
I can't. Do you have the Merlin app? I do. I do. Yeah. Standard practice. Use it every day. Yeah. So you know what I love about this birdhouse business? You guys live it
too. You guys aren't just making birdhouses for profit. You're living the real bird life.
Living the bird life. You know what I should what you yeah one one
Could I suggest an architectural addition to your next bird house?
Make a fine. Okay, make a front porch to your standard bird feeder
Actually do a wrap around porch and all around it put nails and those nails put
oranges on and that's how you're gonna get the Oreos come the spring and
I believe also the Scarlet Tannagers are into that citrus.
So you want to you want an Oreo porch on this bad guy.
I want a little Oreo porch
We'll walk around like that and do blunt the nails a little bit unless of course you want to send a message to the squirrels
That's a whole right
Do you guys have any good stuff that you put on your feeders to keep the squirrels out you put a little slinky on there or anything?
to keep the squirrels out. You put a little slinky on there or anything?
No.
Okay, well, you know what,
if you want another business idea,
what we call this an upsell, Charlie.
An upsell.
You could add the squirrel prevention package
to the birdhouse,
which is nothing more than a poll with a slinky on it.
And by the way, if you ever watch a squirrel climb up a slinky,
oh my God, it's one of the most fun things ever.
Not for the squirrel, they're like,
what was the name of that Greek guy who was pushing
the rock up the hill?
It course.
What was it?
Cicifis.
Cicifis.
Yeah, it sounds like cifilus.
So you can have like your squirrel,
squirrel, cphilis. So you can have like your squirrel, squirrel syphis.
It wouldn't be funny if there was a squirrel with syphilis trying to be syphis.
Anyway, sorry about that last part.
That was unnecessary.
No, it's okay.
We also build squirrel feeders.
So I think we don't get a lot of squirrels in the bird food because we...
Smart.
You know, cater to the squirrels.
Yeah, come for you. They're taking care. Also, Charlie, you want to keep that syphilis
joke out of your next special. Oh, that one. All right, that didn't land. Okay. I thought
we could make syphilis jokes. It's been enough time. Sorry about that. I didn't realize
my eyes were so sensitive. But I think there is something with a
tennis shot joke that in there too. Surely I think you
can workshop. Okay. This is why I have miles here. You just
builds my next hour. Well, we appreciate you calling in.
Yeah, thanks for the advice. You guys have a great rest of
your day. Don't drink too much and tell your folks.
This is I okay watch for dear though.
All right
We don't hear that very often Charlie with a peppy
Attitude thanks for the advice. I know but we gave you so much good. Like most I'm gonna be honest to the miles
Most of the calls that we have I
like most, I'm going to be honest to the mouse, most of the calls that we have, I neither of us are qualified to give any advice. On that particular one, I think we really freaking hit a home run.
Well, we did, but I still don't think we're qualified to be giving legal tax advice.
No, I mean, she should, we should, oh, and if you're still listening after the fact, it was Monica,
right? Monica, you should definitely talk with a tax professional and those with hell they're talking about miles this whole thing
about buying it back from your company I think that's bullshit no I think
that you can actually can you do that I think dude I'm gonna I'm gonna like I
got some stuff I want to buy back for myself that's what's up I didn't know
you do that at the end of the year. Well, no, I just buy everything from the business.
Yeah, smart.
Smart.
Okay.
Oh, good.
Charlie, it is finally football season again.

It's a perfect color for the green and gold Packers for you, Charlie.
It is the perfect color, Miles.
Now tell me, is it easier when things aren't going your way during a game?
Is it make it easier knowing that you're sipping on some tippy cow?
It does because tippy cow just kind of eases.
And first of all, we're never really not doing good.
We're always coming back miles.
Okay.

Fill up from Pittsburgh.
What's on your mind, Phillip?
Well, firstly, I wanted to say now that I am a homeowner,
I have been trying now that I've seen your comedy
to embrace the Midwest night over here on the East Coast. So I've been spraying now that I've seen your comedy to embrace the Midwest knife over here on the east coast
So I've been spraying the neighbors leaves and you know just trying to be like a nicer guy on neighborhood
Thank you're comedy did that for me
Good man. Good man. I like it. You're spreading that Midwest nice neighbor action all the way over there in Pittsburgh
PA we love to hear it
Yeah
Yeah jeez Louise, the East Coast can be pretty nasty sometimes.
Yeah, yeah, I can.
So anyways, as I said, the new house building the man came in bathroom the basement.
So I wanted to know, and I'm doing straight to the, I put in the flanges and everything
all completely from scratch.
So I've been asking everybody other than a TV and a fridge, that's like everything.
What would you have to have in there?
What would be your thing that you just couldn't live without?
Well, you just had very stud, not that you couldn't live without.
What do you, what kind of building are we working with right now?
Is it a, like, what size room are we talking? You know, what's already there?
Talk me through that a little bit.
Okay. So like I said, the brick house of then the basement is all, you know,
senior block walls, obviously. And then it has these those block windows, but I'm,
I mean, maybe I shouldn't get rid of them, but I was going to cover them just because they're not really, you know,
good for, you know, regular regular window hanging out in this.
Basically, the basement is divided into two halves because of the chimney.
There's a wall that goes right through the middle.
The man cave space started with probably a 12 by, let's 30 foot space. And then I took off like the last 10 feet for the
bathroom. So I'm putting up a wall in the middle there with it's going to have a door that
slides. The actual man case space by the somewhere around 11 by 20 and like that. And then right
off the man cave is like a little tool room. So I might turn that into a finished laundry room.
But I like having the little tool bench room like right off the van.
How many keep the tour? How many different drills do you have?
Actually, my brother bought me a set. He was actually buying it at the joke. The day I
moved into the house, he brought me a rigid that had an oscillating saw, an impact gun,
a drill and the flashlight. You know, the one you get at home, deep, where it comes in like a bag.
Cool. And then he also bought me a painting kit, you know, with like 10 brushes in it.
And he said it was like a joke, but actually, you know, I've used everything on one of them,
probably like 20 times.
Yeah. It's the oscillating with the standard, like that's like the best tool on the planet.
I have to solve them.
Yeah. That's a great starting point.
But you're going to need to bump those numbers up.
You're going to need at least eight, at some point to your collection, but eight drills.
I'm thinking I need more saws. I'm like, I have a third-doer saw. Yeah, more sauce drills, hammers, tape measure.
That's a table saw too. If you can, if you can find one, that they're, you know, some people that's the last thing they get. But back to the man cave, back to the cave.
You have a great size man cave, not too big, not too small.
You got a fridge in a TV.
It sounds like Charlie, what else is in need?
Definitely.
Those winning first.
So right now you can watch TV while you're in the bathroom.
Because the wall, I don't know if it's pretty epic right now.
So you might want to think about leaving a window in that wall.
Yeah, just just keep that there.
Yeah, you don't need a wall to your deal there.
Uh, you know, it's not the size of the man cave.
It's how much wood paneling you get.
I'm going to need you to find some wood paneling for those cedar block walls.
And honestly, you know, you know, they're block walls.
You don't even want to stop with the wood paneling, though. Cedar block walls and honestly, you know, they're block walls.
You don't even want to stop with the wood paneling, though.
It's not about the size of your man cave. It's about how many different types of wood you can jam into this.
That is true.
The barstool should be a different wood.
The bar top should be a different wood.
The wood paneling should be different.
The shelving should be, I mean, we're going to just get as many different types of wood in this thing as possible. Yeah, and the nice thing about that is you can find wood for free damn near anywhere you go. If you've got a buddy who's doing a little renovation in his basement, I bet you there's some old wood paneling on those walls and it's not that hard to pull off because it's very thin and flimsy, especially get that stuff from the 70s.
Just get yourself a nice little,
what are those utility knives?
I was almost gonna say one of those little jewelry hammers.
Those are nice, they're very delicate.
Those little tiny ones, dude, those are the ones.
I'm calling you.
Cause a big hammer, you know.
What do you use the jewelry hammer for?
Cause it has an edge on the back
that you can just pull the top down. It's got a very thin edge and you can get in
between the, you don't want to have happen. And I did this in my basement. You use a regular hammer.
And I'm not a great craftsman. But I got a little aggressive and we lost some of the panels.
So just something nice and delicate. Because the way they do it is they put these, they use these old braided nails, these like little tiny
ones. Anyway, just trust me. If it doesn't work, just, you know, use a crowbar, but that's
all I mean, that brings two things to mind. So you're saying that like the, the, the
man cave, you can't bring any of the home decor paint in there. You got to keep it all
wood to, to tap into that real manness of it,
even though you might think, well,
guests are coming, but you can't think that way.
It's got to be all about tapping into the demand.
Well, paint should not touch this man.
Yeah, what are you going to do?
Go like one color?
Nah, on the hot one.
What do you mean, I would think
about paint the gray on drywall?
Yeah, you're going to drywall it. You're going to drywall a no dude. Don't try wall it. That's way too expensive. Yeah. Yeah, this is it's gonna just get yourself some
Particle board and honestly the the particle board is a good look too for at least part of it
You know that way accent wall. It is an accent wall. Yeah, and
Yeah, no just particle board and It is an accent wall. Yeah. And yeah, just part of the board. No, just part of the board.
And we can not be clear about this man gave me zero paint, zero paint, all would. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, four or five, you know, you start with a one pound,
not quite cutting it, you know, the three pound
and then you realize like a six pound
is like, you know, consult pretty much any problem
comes in your way, you know.
Yeah, I mean, you want to,
hammers is something,
there's so many great hammers out there
that you just want to go to town on the hammers
and a great place to get hammers.
I found a nice hammer at a good will once and there's a hammer. It's not going to be overused or what? They don't go bad. It's like
leather. You just break it in, right? Yeah, who wants a pristine hammer that just means you're almost embarrassed. Yeah, it means you got soft hands and a tiny pecker
anyways
Anyways, so we got wood everywhere Charlie. What are you thinking for the flooring?
Flooring now this is exciting. What's currently on the floor?
So we actually unfortunately two weeks after we moved in the plumbing, we realized the
cast iron plumbing had reached its limit.
So they dug it up.
So now it's all like a new concrete because they had to like re-eximate.
I think there was some shitty carpet in there, but that was, you know, they ripped it right
out.
It wasn't even packed in.
That's fine.
So it's concrete.
You're going to, you didn't save that carpet?
Yeah, you're going to want to get some shitty carpet back in there, ASAP.
It's probably flooded. They didn't, they didn't give me a choice. They took it with you know, they took it with
them with all the trash. I believe it was soaked in now, you know, a mixture of different fluids.
So you don't want that moldy smell and no, well you want the smell. You just don't want the mold.
You don't want the mold. So if you can find a candle that smells like mold, that would be great.
Yeah, nice mold-scented candle. Yeah. Nice mold, sent a candle.
You're also going to want to want to get this thing done.
You're going to want to smoke about a pack of cigarettes in there.
Yeah.
Once a month, just to make sure there's that little hint to smoke in there as well.
Yeah.
And you don't even need to smoke.
Yeah, I guess you don't want to just like light them all up and put them next to a fan
and reverse and just have the fan start circulating that.
That's a good idea.
That'll stain the ceiling.
Sure, yeah.
Well, they, you know, I smoke a base.
I quit smoking a cigarette a long time ago, but I've smoked sometimes 14, but a courtesy
I always allow is I still let anyone smoke in my car or my house.
Like that's a courtesy I'll never.
I mean, it was like a disaster. let anyone smoke in my car or my house. Like that's the courtesy I'll never get rid of.
Like the design.
When I was a smoker being exiled, you know,
so I could just have like a, you know,
a smoker's only section in there.
So like a day and then just, yeah, let them do it up.
Like that, you know that thing in the Atlanta airport
where there's just 70 smokers,
just like shining the place up.
Yeah, yeah.
She's just put a two top table in the corner
and that's a smoking section. Yeah, I have a smoke section. Exactly, yeah, I just put a two top table in the corner and that's a smoking section. Yeah,
that's great. Yeah, you put signs up once you could say smoking and then
everywhere else just says no smoking. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, smoking. In this 12 by 20.
You got to get some good signs going too. Some good. Yeah, what do you think was the best
sign you could put up there? So, Hams actually has these awesome like moving signs, but
they're really expensive. So you probably, if you can't find one there, Facebook marketplace
got a lot of beer memorabilia. So sure. And then you're maybe going to have to haggle a little bit for it. But I think the real answer is is not what's the
best beer sign to put up. It's how many can you fit in this 12 by 20 room is
what it's really about. You want to try and liberate a lot of the
paneling by covering it with cool signs. Yep, yep. Right, yeah.
And what's your stance on frame thing that the poster's only?
I mean, no frame.
What a frame done by the me.
Frame done by the me.
Just don't, you know, you gotta have a dart board.
So don't put anything you that is actually
worth something next to the dart board
because beer plus darts equals, you know.
Beer darts. Beer darts. Yeah, that is what it equals.
Yeah. Do you have a dartboard down there?
Yeah, but what about gaming?
Would you?
I mean, I, I plan to, I haven't bought one yet because there's nowhere really to hang it yet,
but my, um, my dad always had the old, you know, felt with the actual kits, not plastic.
So I, I, I, you always played that work.
It's, uh, yeah, that's
the one you want. But it was obviously the wall was just covered and holds. But you need
to get what he's got. Gaming tables. I mean, it's like a smooth wall table would take
up pretty much all your space. And then people think, oh, the pool table will fit here.
But then you don't realize you need like another 8 feet around the pool table. That's it. It's too small for a pool table, but a bumper pool table could do that.
Find yourself like the last thing and just maybe get like a five or six foot round table,
low top, and then you can just play games on that.
You got bar dice.
You got cribbage.
Yeah. You got sugar,
thing with the bumper pool table, though miles,
is a lot of them come with a top you put on top
of the bumper pool.
So then you can play bumper pool.
So for poker and dice, yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
You have a bar set up already.
No, but that's gonna be really, do you know, I think I'm just to go to the top already. No, but that's going to be
really, you know, I think I'm
just going to do like.
I got plenty of extra two by
fours, so I think I'm just
going to do like two by fours
like laid across the top and
then maybe stay him or just,
you know, like that do like a
just like almost looks like an
outdoor bar, but just like right there. Another type of wood. Another type of wood.
It doesn't look terrible.
You know, I will say this, if you've got an old door sitting around,
frame up with the two by fours and then put that old door on top,
that's actually pretty much because the doors have an edge.
And oftentimes it will do a nice deal of edge and out in your bar.
A lot of them already have like a lacquer finish.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they they're already standing. them already have like a lacquer finish. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, they they're already standing. You might have to do a light sanding refinished, but maybe not
too, you know, if it wasn't an exterior door, there's probably not a whole lot you got to do on that.
So, right, yeah, a lot of people are using doors that like dining room tables and stuff. That's
that's a hell of an idea. Yeah. Now, one thing that is it too late to run a water line
into this room or not?
So that's the beautiful thing about it
is when they did the plumbing, I checked on the taking
the adabaturing here.
So they ran the text lines.
And so if I wanted to, the bathrooms right there,
I could just cut the sink so I could just,
put a splitter on both the hot and colds in the sink
and run it right through the ceiling.
Yep, and then the water is basically already run
and it's extended.
Yeah, we're out going to that.
Just make sure you got a thing that'll make you some ice.
Running up and down the stairs for ice is not ideal.
Yeah, and then you won't have to do an idea.
That is good, because everyone knows,
you know, when people are coming over,
you're trying to make some cocktails.
You have to bring a bag of ice,
pain in the ass, nobody ever remembers,
you know, and you're drinking warm drinks.
I have definitely run out, you know, for a quick two minute,
you know, going 80 miles an hour just to get to the gas station back
before anyone even realizes you're going to get
to get the massive back of life.
And still you run out, you run out again.
So that's maybe one of the fancier things
you're gonna need in this.
There's maybe the fanciest thing.
If you can get an old fridge that has one in it,
even better.
Oh, that's a hell of an idea. You just get the fridge that has one in it even better. Oh, that's a hell of an idea.
You just get the fridge that has the ice maker.
Yeah, I haven't bought the fridge yet.
I have a mini fridge in my bedroom, which is epic, but I don't have a mini fridge yet for
that. So yeah, that's a good idea.
And that's another good point is you're going to want to fit as many fridges into behind
the bars you can too, because you just, you just can never have too many fridges.
No, I get, get an old, an old an old telly down there too. Like we we got a lot of the new school ones,
but the old telly the reason that one works good is you can always have the local axis channel on
behind the bar, you know, just a little eye candy for people watching, you know.
you know, just a little eye candy for people watching, you know.
Oh, nice. So you mean like a rabbit ear, like little, little TV that just sort of sits behind the bar. Not the main TV. You kind of did that.
Yeah. Tube TV, Tube TV, because the other thing about that TV,
and this is a must have in a man cave is you can play Duck Hunt.
You can't play Duck Hunt on any other telly.
You got to have one
of those old school ones. Yeah. So you can't play dot cunt on a non two. I didn't realize
that. I don't think so. Anyone want to fact check me on that? Like the glass reflects
or whatever. Yeah. Makes sense. But yeah, I didn't think about that. But I guess you
wouldn't be able to. Yeah. And I'd say the last part is for the bar where just go to the goodwill store and just
take everything that they have.
Nothing needs to matter.
Yeah.
So the match is more than two cups is like just going to bar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they have some really nice glasses there.
So everything you need is already been purchased.
It's just finding where it is on Facebook, Marketplace,
Goodwill, etc. Yeah, someone's purchasing. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're excited.
Well, those are pretty. Send us a picture when it's done. I would you want to see, you
want to see the progress and that like what it looks like now. And I'll see the previous
thing. Yeah. For and after. Okay. On the Twitter. Yeah, just send it to us. DM us on the Twitter, bellied up. Yeah, just tweet it too. Yeah.
Okay. Cool. However, I got to call you out. You didn't answer the full question.
Just for you personally, what's the one thing you couldn't leave out?
Would it be like a table to make your fishing flies? Would it be like that, you know,
the like the you grew table or what? What's the one thing you just even if you
only had 10 right then, like, you'd be like, this is non-negotiable. I got to have it
Um
Damn well, there's a lot of stuff we listed that I feel like I can't
Okay, that's out that absolutely necessary deck of cards. That's I mean because whatever you got you know
You can be on the floor you can be on the floor. You got deck of cards. You can amuse yourself
So it's very simple, but I say that that's a good one. Yeah, I couldn't do it. You just wouldn't be what you
can bother and what you can do. Okay. Because otherwise you're going to have to talk to the people
in the basement. If you can't gamble with them. And who the hell wants to talk away? Yeah, I mean,
yeah, exactly. I actually, yeah, we gamble level. We play poker on vacation. My game, my family, like we're big on the
taking money from each other.
Oh, you should also look up. Rummy Royal board.
Rummy Royal board.
Rummy Royal with that.
It's a great game. Super fun. You make a board just out of like a big square piece of wood.
And that's a great, great game to play. And it can go anywhere.
The board can sit behind to tell you or whatever, but just look it up. That's a pro tip.
Anyone?
Yeah, I'd like to stack up pretty much as many board games as I can. And I just have
a lot of time there. But yeah, I didn't like to ask to, did you ever, did you ever post
the actual rules to the bar days? Because we don't know what the hell that is here in Pennsylvania.
But did you ever actually write out the rules and put them on the Twitter?
I did a video of it. Yeah, I should send you the video.
It's just it can just be nice to have like a paper next.
I tried to call the video, but like it'd be nice to have like a paper next.
Yeah, it'd be like way to say it.
So what you're saying is Charlie didn't explain it well enough.
That's basically what you know what I'm saying is he explained it great.
It's just like when you're trying to learn,
you have to pull up video. But I guess that's on me. I
I know, you know what? I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll
already did the legwork. I'll have miles, transcribe it and send
you a good yeah. Miles, what's your, what you must have?
Um, I mean, for me, it's about the atmosphere.
And so having the right beer signs into core in there
is what makes it just special.
The right beer sign, what beer sign would you recommend?
What era of bush would you recommend?
Well, I really love the bush signs
that have bush written across a mirror
with like a woodsy, like kind of design with the word
frame on it.
Yeah, those are cool.
Yeah, I have.
If you can get a mirror, the mountains going across the bottom there.
Yeah, if you can get a mirrored sign, that's the real ticket, I think, to move.
I like it.
Yeah, here in Pittsburgh, we're big on like our local, you know, Iron City and gang
ring and all that.
So yeah, here wouldn't be Bush, but yeah, there's a lot of
stuff that we can be, we can be proud of here. It's
that makes sense. Yeah. All right, man, while good luck on
your man cave adventure, hopefully, it goes well for you. And
we're excited to see the finished product really are
absolutely. I'll, I'll post you a picture soon on the
Twitter. Yeah, and just say I love
the podcast. I'm looking to every time I get go back and listen to the short stuff like it's
good stuff. And I'd like to see, you know, if you tour ever here and take tour again at that
home set, like that, I'd like to go. I just missed it. I didn't realize you were touring. So yeah,
big, big fan. We're actually going to be in Pennsylvania. Um shoot. Is it reading or reading?
Reading
I'm an idiot. We're gonna be how far away you've read the reading real well. How would you know it's so
Reading is like Christmas. I'm going to Philly tomorrow to see the social service. Uh, so like
It's that's like a five hour drive. Feel like back it off a little like four. You know, I mean
It's like highways are all selected. It's that's like a five hour drive feeling like back it off a little like Yeah, I mean it's like I was wrong. They're like it's a ways away
What I mean is I'm going to fill each more to see a concert one night stay with my sister and then you know
I'm coming back the next so it's not like I'm willing to travel Charlie

What did I say, dude?
I will put you on the list.
Well, it's chill.
I'll just slap you on a list.
You know what, Miles?
I'm sorry that you think I'm being too cool for school,
but at this point, I didn't even try to be too cool for school.
So perhaps maybe at this point in my life,
I'm finally too cool for school. Yeah, you are this point in my life, I'm finally too cool.
Yeah, you are.
What do you think?
Yeah, dude, like, I was just like, get you.
We got you.
You called me out on this stuff a lot.
I was listening to an old podcast of ours actually.
And I said some about, oh, yeah, I play Chicago a lot.
And you're like, oh, do you play Chicago a lot?
Like, you have a habit of always calling me out, you know?
It's really, it's really mean.
It's really mean.
Okay.
I don't you guys think it's mean.
We should get a belly up therapist on to work on our relationship.
No, I thought we were just razzing each other because I know all your buddies.
You know what?
May understand if you can't handle a little razzing as a gas light. I'm sorry, I thought we were just razzing each other because I know we were buddies. You know what, my understand,
if you can't handle a little razzing,
is a gas light up here.
I, yeah, okay, if you're that sensitive Charlie, then.
Yeah, well, people don't know how the day started off.
Start off when Miles was an hour late for the shoot,
and then I show up on time.
Well, what time did you tell him
that we were supposed to start?
Because we were always supposed to start at noon.
I go to 1145.
Yeah, that's what's out on the sheet.
Well, maybe I was late too.
The point is miles is that, um, no, I understand you're for, I'll be better.
I'm sorry, Charlie.
Yeah.
Yeah, it hurts me on an emotional level, miles.
All right. I'm, again, it hurts me on an emotional level. My eyes. All right, I'm again, I'm sorry.
