All right, everybody, we're back here at Chubb's Pub. Charlie and I, Charlie, how you feeling? Oh, chubby. You got. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got your Stormy Kromer. Yeah, Stormy Kromer. Keep her moving. Stormy Kromer, you can get man twugman.com. Just click on the merch section made in the UP miles.

The Upers are making them, huh? Oh, yeah. I got myself a Stormy Kromer. Do you? Oh, yeah. What kind? It's a gray one, just like the one you got. Oh, we should have. It's a gray plaid. You should bring it tomorrow. Maybe we'll match for one, huh?

Oh, yeah. That'd be nice. So that's something you love about the Midwest, right, Charlie? What's that now, Miles? Stormy Kromers. I love Stormy Kromers. What is something that you would change about the Midwest? You know, we love it.

It's great. But what's something you wish the Midwest? You know, we love it. It's great. But what's something you wish the Midwest had or did? Yeah. How cool would be if the Midwest had an ocean? Right in the middle? So which stage are we getting rid of that? No. Okay. Well, you know what? I'm glad you brought that up. Actually, I'm not because I'm going to get myself into trouble. Do we have to? No, I got it. We just do the flat part of Colorado. Just put it right on the edge of the western part of the Midwest. Oh, just put a big ocean there. You know what's funny is

there was an ocean there at one point. Actually was there? Actually, right now we are in the Lake Agassi Basin. This hall used to be covered in water in prehistoric times. It was probably around the time there was a cataclysmic event. Really? About 8,000 to 12,000 years ago, and asteroid hit the earth and caused rapid melting of the ice caps. Was it an asteroid or a volcano? I think it was an asteroid. The Big Bang. I thought it was just two dinosaurs getting frisky. Now, so you want an ocean. Why do you want an ocean?

Well, I want an ocean. First of all, let's get back to the fact that this was an ocean. Do you guys have any cool trilobites around here? You ever see them fossils with like the little aren't those cool? Yeah, I don't go fossil hunting very much. Well, I think that will be fun. Yeah. To go fossil. Maybe you and I can go fossil. The thing is, is I have to go with a guide because if I'm just gonna go try and find guide. Oh, if I'm'm just gonna go and try and find fossils, it's gonna be a disaster. Well, you know, I'm gonna be picking up rocks and I'm gonna turn it over and go, that's not a fossil. And then I'm gonna go, that's not a fossil. And after about 10 to 15 rocks,

I'm gonna be like, this is dumb. I want to go home. Well, but if I go to a spot where I know there's fossils that would be electrifying. Yeah, you do want, you want someone there who knows knows the lay of the land. But anyway, back to your previous question, I think an ocean would be cool because like it'd be fun to have like the fish of the ocean be Midwest, you know, to have like an ocean walleye or an ocean musky. Now, the only thing I don't like about ocean is that there's negatives that comes with oceans like...

What's negative? Tropical storms. No, we don't have those here. We do have all... Yeah, because there's no ocean. We'd have an ocean tornado though. Yeah. We'd have ocean natos.

Yeah, like one of the nice parts about living in the Midwest, you don't got to deal with hurricanes and all that. But that's yeah, but that's not because of the ocean. It's just because it's warmer. Right? Because tropical like New York, that's not tropical, right? Are there like typhoons and hurricanes that come across Alaska? I mean, but that's Alaska. Although Alaska is an honorary part of the Midwest. Which is on the ocean. Yeah, I know it's on the ocean, but this ocean would be, it's almost... So you're looking for a really, really big lake. This would be like an island ocean, like a salty ocean, a salty lake. So you want like the dead sea?

No, no, no. I want it connected to to the ocean. So it goes underneath the continental US and you only get the good fish flooded in, you know? No sharks. No sharks. No sharks. I guess I can't put it, yeah. No sharks. Just amazing fish to catch and eat.

Yeah. Okay. But really like an ocean perch. And you can catch them the same way. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know what you mean. Oh, and you can ice fish on this ocean. So it's just like a lake.

It's like, it's a salty lake with cool fish. So you want a saltwater lake? Yeah, with waves though too, because I'd like to surf. Yeah. But you can surf on the lake. You can surf on the lake, so. You can surf on Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Did you know, but you can get that done. You can surf on the lake. So you can surf on Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Did you know that?

So would you want just one big lake or would you say like, would you just want like five great lakes? Um, you know, like, is it one great lake? You know, what kind of? Oh, no, I mean, I, I, you know what though, Miles, the more I'm talking about this, the more I'm talking about this, I just think it would be too much trouble for anyone to do. So honestly, I think the Midwest is fine, just the way it is. And, you know, we don't want God to, you know, go out of his way to give us an ocean right, right there. Yeah. Plus we'd flood out, you know, all the people in the Eastern Colorado, you know, I mean,

that's a no go. You know, and that water wouldn't just stop there. It would spread into the other states. Well, wherever is the sea level would flood. Don't start outsmarting me, Miles, with your knowledge. So the thing, thanks for asking, Charlie. The thing I would like the Midwest to have. Oh, that's really rude. When someone asks you a question, you know, counter it back, you're going to end the conversation when you're finished talking. See, that's something, that's a pattern of mine. I've realized that. Miles, can I ask you a question?

Yeah. What would you like the Midwest to have that the Midwest doesn't have? So I would like What would you like the Midwest to have that the Midwest doesn't have? So I would like a more extensive train situation. Holy smokes. Yeah. Like you, everyone's got great train. You know how long it takes me to get to you forever? You know, say, probably one by forever. Where do you want the train to go? Everywhere. It should be very interconnected.

Hell, yeah. That's more trains. I'd like to train take trains more places one and two. I would like to have one big giant mountain. So we have the black hills, which is again, just hills. Yeah, I'd like the Rockies to just kind of form into the Midwest a little bit. Wait, are you saying you want to include Western Colorado? No, I don't want to change the barrier. I just want them.

I want the Midwest to grow mountains. I want it to hit puberty. Because it would be really fun to have a mountain range. You know what I mean? Yeah, it would be a blast. Yeah a mountain range. You know what I mean? Yeah, I would be a blast Yeah, what would you do on these mountains? I would just get into a cabin and sit by a fire and then you know because I'm gonna be a dad I don't know if you knew this. Oh, I heard But then I'm gonna teach my kid to ski really young so he's not a

Adult who doesn't know how to ski because I'm one of those Yeah, I didn't start it when ski because I'm one of those. Yeah, me too. You know, I didn't start it when I was three like some of them do. Yeah. So I'd like, you know, get a cabin up on the mountain. I just sit and drink whiskey by the fire and send off my kid with the instructor and you go learn how to ski. That'd be cool.

And then when you guys are done, you can just hop on the train and go back to your place. Yeah, like an hour from home. Have you ever ridden the Amtrak? No. Dude, one time I took the Amtrak from Milwaukee to... I think you talked about this, maybe not on the podcast, but... Well, I'll say the story quickly just because I love the train idea. I took it from Milwaukee to Montana, and I thought I planned it out good so I could see all the mountains and stuff. Little did I know as soon as we got to the mountain area, it was dark. So I was just terrified because, you know, you're going through the blackness of it, and you know you're on the edge of a mountain all the time.

That's like flying. That sounds awesome. I got a sleeper car. Those are not comfortable. I didn't sleep a wink. But anyways, I'm all about the trains and the mountains in the ocean. Let's do it. Yeah, let's pitch that. Yeah. So the black kills should just grow. Let's get taller. I think I think we need. Yeah, that is how we just need a couple tectonic plates to start fighting with each other. And then that's where they come from. That's it. That's all we need. Couple tectonic tectonics. Cool. Well, Miles, that was a fun question. That really raises the bar for opening questions here. Should we take some callers? Let's do it. Let's do it. Welcome to the Belly

Dup podcast. Who do we have the pleasure of chit-chatting with today? No freaking way. This is Kendra from Michigan. How the heck are you? Yes, freaking way Kendra from Michigan. Are you from the UP or are you a troll? Oh no, no, I'm a troll. I'm a between land singing and Arbor. Oh no. Well, we welcome trolls on this podcast. My buddy Miles is here too. Yeah, have you guys ever been to Michigan?

I've been to Michigan. Yeah. What do you think about it? Um, I like it. No good reviews. That's a, that's... Well, so I'm having a... It's like Wisconsin, but way different,

if that makes any sense. In a good way or a bad way? Well, you guys each have your own quirks, I think. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I've never been to it. Kendra, I'm sensing some animosity from Miles. No, no, no, I'm just calling it as it is. He's just calling it as it is.

Wisconsin thinks that they're the greatest state ever. No. You know, a little bit of snoodiness to Wisconsin. We know that. And Michigan is more aggressive than Wisconsin. I feel like Because they took the UP. Yeah, I don't know but anyway, I guess I get that well full feisty Yeah, I Suppose I've never been so I don't know Kendra. I'm wearing a hat from Michigan right now

I'm wearing a stormy Cromer from up there in the UP. Okay. Yeah. That's good. Well, you called in today for a reason. Why don't you belly up to the bar with us? Tell us what's on your mind. So I want some stating advice.

Do you guys believe in the app or would you ever do like a sponsor with the app? Where you do like a Midwest guys, Midwest gals app? Oh. Midwest dating app. Hold on, are we on Midwest Shark Tank right now? Do you have an app locked and loaded and you're looking for funding or what is this?

This is beginning stages, I'd say. Okay, I can sniff out an investment opportunity when I see one, Charlie. Me too, pitch it to us. to us. Here we go. Welcome to the Midwest Perch Tank. The Midwest, we're calling ourselves Perch. Can we, can we be muskies? Yes. Welcome. Oh, that, alliteration too. Welcome to the Midwest musky tank. I'm your host, Charlie Barron's, and I'm the host Charlie Barron's and this is my sidekick. My fuck. Miles, the you betcha guy. Let's hear the pitch.

What's the app you wanna do? So we gotta make it so it's more verified. We gotta have a picture of you hunting, fishing, being able to fix a car, something. Hell yeah. And that's for the guys. Is that for guys and gals?. That's for the guys. Is that for guys in Gals?

That's more for the guys, because that's like what I'm focusing on, you know? But for the Gals, what requirements would you want? Well, if you were single. Wait, before we jump into that, since before we start spitball, and I want you to get your entire pitch out there, I think we cut you off on that. So, just lay it out for us.

Well, I mean, that's about it. It's just a better way to find, not country boy, but some like a man, you know what I mean? All right. So you're trying to find a man on this Midwest dating app and you want some sort of verification. Now, hold on Charlie, before we go down this road and make this app a billion dollar idea, it was dating up and you want some sort of verification. Now, hold on Charlie, before we go down this road

and make this app a billion dollar idea, we need to negotiate our equity in this. That's true. If we're gonna help create it here on the BellyDepth podcast, we gotta know how much take can we get. What's your percentage? I'll take, can we just make it put down three ways? Done.

Sold. Yeah. That was way too much equity to give up. Yeah, but. Okay, all right. Well, we're partners now. Now, let's make this thing a thing. Time to do some work.

All right, so I like the idea of you having the photos verified. Cause how many pictures have you seen on Tinder or whatever? With someone holding the fish closer to the camera so it looks bigger, right? You want a ruler. Yes. A ruler next to every fish. Well, that would actually be you'd have the ruler photo. So they'd have them holding it out and then you'd have to have the next photo you swipe to it be next to a ruler so you can prove it so you're not just a show or but it's a grower boom so rulers for your fish picks

do we have rulers for the nevermind yes fish picks will be the marketing campaign send fish we go the opposite you've seen all the memes online of like God I hate when guys have fish in their Tinder profile. Let's do the opposite. Only fish. Only fins. Only fins. Only fins. There you go. Oh my God. That's not bad. Yeah. So this is going to be very heavily men holding fish. You seem to think, what are we doing about the women? Do they get to is it kind of a the men present their fins? only fins and Then the women get to pick from their kind of a bumble situation where the women get to do all the talking to start. Oh Hmm

You don't like that way. Why don't you like that? No. Why don't you like starting a convo? I want a man to approach me, you know? You seem to be more of a traditional gal in this sense. Kev? I am. So how is a guy, what's gonna be different about your photos that's gonna make a guy wanna chat with you?

What's the, you know, we have the fins and the fish for the guys, what about the gals? Oh, shoot, I don't know. We're putting this with you. What's the, you know, we have the fins and the fish for the guys. What about the gals? Oh shoot. I don't know. We're putting this on you. So one outdoorsy. Sorry. I talk like one outdoorsy pick or cause you don't want to like be too aggressive about it. Right? Okay. So maybe cause a guy who likes to fish is one, a girl should be able to put her fish on there too. Yeah. Yeah. So that's one. Yeah. And two,

yeah, could be more. Uh, we encourage photos of women in boats. As a good fishing partner, maybe action photos of women throwing their guy a beer. That's yeah. Maybe walking with the sandwich bag. Wow. Well, so here's, here's a thought. You're a more traditional gal. So you want to click, do you want to have a little toggle

where you go traditional, non-traditional, you know, like, like cause some people are going to be pissed that you're saying all they're doing is getting the guys beers and sandwiches. You know, you just fell into a little pothole there, Miles. Then maybe this isn't the app for you. You know, it's like, Charlie, are you going to spend a lot of, are you going to spend a lot of time on grinder? You think that you would want them to have a feature that says you're gay or you're not gay? I think if you're just

not gay, then you just don't go on grinder. All right. And then here we are on plenty of fins. Yeah. Or what was the only fins? I already forgot. Fins are plenty. Yeah. I think it's just not the app for them. All right. Well, the gals though, I mean, I per, I would prefer to have a gal with some fish picks because then you know, you, you look as a fella. I'm so excited. I was dropped my phone. Yeah.

What happened there? So you know how you have to match, right? And the only way that like on Bumble, that the girl has to talk first, right? The only way you can start a conversation this this person is if you send fish picks. So we'd have an algorithm that would identify if there was a fish in the photo and you both have to send fish photos to start, then you can have a conversation. I like it. And and Miles, I do wonder if there there's if you can put a setting on where you can only start a conversation With someone if you've caught the same species of fish So you like you know imagine and man would just be it because what if I want to you know, I've let's say I've never been

Musky fishing, but I go bass fishing and I wanna find a gal who can take me musky fishing. Okay, if I'm a gal who knows how to musky fish, I do not want your ass to go out on your first time musky fishing. I want, you're gonna snag the fricking pole. You know, they got the open face reels.

So I want you to at least have caught one. So then then you get that out of the way. Now, that's just me, Miles, and you have a different opinion. And I'm not putting it down. Well, I was saying you could filter because, you know, you can go by age. You could go by a filter off a species. Oh, that's true. That's true. I would do it. I would I would put my pickerel on there.

Yeah. I would say you have to catch a pickerel. That's a tough one to catch. I caught a pickerel this past summer, Kendra. Do you know that? Where at? I caught it. Well, you can't tell you that. No, I caught it in Muskego, Wisconsin.

I think I caught it on Little Muskego actually. Are you telling the truth? I think hiding your honey hole. I, I, shh. Shhh. Do you bait your own hook? She's asking you, can you bait your own hook? As an option of like the gal says,

can I bait my own hook or what? Just enjoy, I know. of like the gal says, can I bait my own hook or what? Just enjoy, I know, like, is that an offensive question to ask a guy? Oh, no. No, no, I think that that, well, it might be offensive. It's offensive on this app because it's called plenty of offense. It's called only fence.

It's called only fence. You know what? Well, maybe not, maybe not, maybe not, cause maybe they're new doors. Yeah. That's right. You know, and the catfish too on this app, probably how do we, we're that how do we avoid catfish in there? Yeah. It just scrubs the entire platform of all catfish photos and our motto is no catfishing. And then the noodles are going to have to have their own app called just the noodle. Oh, geez. Oh, man.

Okay. So, but here's the thing. So do you fish yourself? I go trout fishing in Pennsylvania, but that's not often just once a year. Do you have any photos of you with fish? Oh, yeah. Perfect. Because I was thinking, you know, what if there's a guy who's looking for a manly, burly guy who doesn't go fishing? Probably not the app. That's okay.

Probably not the app for them. Yeah. Are we too narrow in our focus? Well, you can always expand. Yeah, too narrow. Stuff to go too wide and then try and narrow after the fact. I think we're on a good thing with the OnlyFins. What if we say OnlyF fins is just a sliver

of this Midwest dating app? What other picks would you wanna see of guys aside for fish picks on a wider Midwest fish, on a wider Midwest dating app? Oh boy, maybe, I don't think shirtless cause you don't want to get to like the pools out there, right? Oh yeah.

Like working out shirtless. That's probably a no. Yeah. Go maybe like, Oh yeah. We're going to ban, we're going to ban working out picks. If there's a mirror selfie, you get kicked off the platform. The only time you can do a mirrored type selfie thing is if you put a fresh coat

of paint on something, you know, and you get that reflection. Yeah. Okay. What about, uh, like a nice family picture? What do you think about that? A family picture? Like with their family, their life and kids. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, still think. Well. That's a completely different app. Also, no wives also, I think would be out. Yeah, this isn't, you know,

I was gonna make a Mormon joke, but I got in trouble the last time, so I'm not gonna do that. Um. Yeah. All right, so what about, what about like you mentioned before, what are important things like do you want an actual video, no edits, no cuts of a fella changing a tire?

That would be really cool. But is it too much? Is it too much like a video of a guy trying to prove something? Yeah. Well, is it too much? Is it too much like a video of a guy trying to prove something. Yeah. Well, is it too much? Is it too much? Well, that's actually kind of a good idea. What's that? Like, Hey, here I'm gonna put together this birdhouse and then I take a video of it and upload it and prove that you know how to work with your hands in real

time. Yeah. Hey, I'm gonna hook up a trailer and back. I'm gonna back up a trailer. Backing up a trailer. I mean, I don't want to speak for you, but that's got to turn you on pretty much a lot when you see it going back and up a trailer. Yeah, I mean, it's turning me on right now. All right, so Fishpix, Fishpix, a non-edited video of you changing a tire

and backing up a trailer. Now is it launching a boat or just backing up any trailer? Oh, that would be like bonus doing the boat thing. A boat would be bonus because there are a few other things, you know, if they lose the the the old transom protector, then then you know, I don't know about that. So I think what we do is you got to have all of these because we're trying to find the manly met. Yeah. You got to have a fish pick.

You got to have a video, you backing up a trailer. You got to be able to show you can work with your hands or you just have different tiers like you level up. You have to start with a fish pick and then you level up and you get more access the more you upload. Yeah, you get a higher caliber of gal. How do we determine the caliber of gal, Charlie? I would love for you to tell me that. I would personally like a gal who's down to clean fish. That's what I would like.

Okay, so the top level is a gal who will clean a fish for you? I mean, yeah, cause I don't want to go out fishing with someone all day. And then I'm like, all right, I'm clean. I'm cleaning all these fish myself. I mean, that's my personal preference. You know, I don't know what what what would you want to see in a gala, Miles? Well, I think it's more.

I think it's more that the the gal has the power on this app, really, is what it is. Any gal can go on there, but only dudes can go on there with fish picks. Well, girls with fish picks too. Yeah. But she also, how do you want the fellas to approach you? Cause you said you don't want it to be a bumble situation. So how do you want the guys to put,

to come in on it, come in hot? You know, like like the I feel There's a lot of pressure on that initial message. That's that sent you know not if you send fish picks to start We've already flushed that out, but at some point you guys start the conversation. Yeah, and then it's whatever. Hey All right. Wow find something in my picture be like wow When'd you do that? I don't know. I'm asking you guys. This is not just a basic conversation question.

You're asking. I guess so. I guess so. Yeah. We can't. We can't hold their hand all the way through. Either you got game or you don't got game, you know, I guess that's true. All right. Well, let's let's find more of the stuff with the fellas that you're looking for Okay, what else is important is dancing important is is I think also you got to prove that they can do the Midwest goodbye So you're literally your screen locks and you can't exit out of the app and the conversation until you've sent like 150 messages exit out of the app and the conversation until you sent like 150 messages. That's fun.

You know, maybe just like, yeah, cause then you're going to get into the weather and all that stuff, just to get all the messages out there so you can exit the app. Plus then our numbers will look great to future investors of how much time is spent on the app because we won't let them leave. Notifications must always be on. And that's maybe the most Midwest thing ever. Make an app that you can't leave because you're caught in the Midwest. Goodbye. This is why we're splitting it three ways. I knew you would see our value. Mm-hmm. Well, I think this is a great app. I do too. I just, I don't know how to go from here with it.

Well, we'll run you through Charlie's network of people. He's got a whole team that handles all of his apps that he starts and he'll follow up with more details. And yeah, we'll get this done lickety-split by go to market in March. I think that's good and I thought of something else I think you had the guys have to upload their casserole recipe too like it's gotta be solid casserole. Well the hot dish. Hot dish hot well that's one thing there do you call it casserole do you call it hot dish you, that's one thing there. Do you call it cash row? Do you call it hot dish? You know, that's another

Sorting feature sorting feature. That's another little toggle there Yeah, oh, oh and then you know your likes, you know, do you like long walks Down the sidewalk Do you like? Do you like? That's no, no, no. It would be. Yeah. Long walks through the paint tile. Do you like sitting on the porch and enjoying a tornado? Favorite aisle at the hardware store. Yes. Now we're getting it. Now we're getting it.

This is actually a great idea. No, good thing we invested. Yeah, I know it is. Yeah, you guys heard it here. We call this sweat equity, Charlie. Yeah, well, I'm sweating. I'll tell you that much. This is fun.

Kendra, have we sort of satisfied your initial thoughts here? Did you have any follow-ups? Because we're gonna follow up with the paperwork on this, but I wanna make sure we've done enough for ya. I think that's good, but going out and about to get dates. At bars, no success. What do you guys recommend as one place to go beside a bar to find just a good man?

Not boat landing. Yeah, especially if you're still on the theme with this app, just go hang out at the boat landing. Not only will you probably find a man, there's not a lot of gals hanging out at the boat landing. Get a lawn chair and a cooler and just sit there and watch. And you're gonna get entertainment as well as maybe find a guy.

He might invite you on his boat. All right, all right. Okay, well that does it then. Yeah. Cool. What's your favorite hardware store? Probably just Lowe's. Mm-hmm.

Don't you go... But there is a... What's it called? The one place that doesn't really clear it up not a I can't think of a name my grandpa goes there all the time. Yeah. Fleet Farm ace home Depot. Yeah, that's not it.

Well, I appreciate you calling in and work. We've got it here. Yeah. We're excited about the app. This was a great first board meeting. It was good. Yeah. It was good. They say all good board meetings happen at the bar. And that's what happened today.

I don't know who says that, but. All right. Perfect. You just did. You can you tell what I love about Kendra is how she's been trying to wrap this conversation up for the past three and a half of 45 more messages to go. Yeah. Sorry, Kendra. Yes she's been trying to wrap this conversation up for the past three and a half a month. She's still got 45 more messages to go. Yep. Sorry Kendra.

Yes. How is the weather over there in Michigan right now? Oh, it's getting ready to storm. Oh. It's like 30 degrees. Are you guys getting hit with any weather yet? Because isn't it going there first? We're in Fargo right now.

It's supposed to be negative freaking 27 here. Oh, God. Yeah. It's 30 degrees. But it's not so much the cold that gets you. It's the wind. The wind. I'll do it every time. It'll do it. Well, Kendra, I suppose. I suppose. Well, you guys watch for deer then, huh? All right. Yeah, you too. All right, bye-bye now. All right, later. You know what, Charlie?

What's that, Miles? I'm glad to expand our portfolio of brands we've invested in. It's good, you know, I mean... Now, let me ask you, what is the name of the app that we only fins? Hey, plenty of only fan fins. And I love how you're wearing that meat without feet hat too. Yeah. Everyone was mad at me because we put a bass on it. They're like, people don't need bass. What? And I was like, dude, just relax. It's a fucking

stupid hat with says meat without feet on it and the fish. I eat bass all the time. I know that's what that's the flak we're getting online right now about them. Who doesn't eat bass? The keyboard warriors. Dude. So if you guys want to meet without a feature, go to all you bet you.com. Or a hat.

Should we do another? I met a hat. Let's do another caller. Who do we have on the line today? You have Travis on the line guys. How's it going? Travis. It's going good, man. Where are you calling him from? Unfortunately, all the way out on the West Coast out in California today. California? Today, where are you normally from? No, yeah, unfortunately always here. I don't know why I said today. What city? Northern California, thankfully.

That's nice. Culture to kind of the mountains, which helps. That's hell of a crew. I'm trying to get out to the Midwest though. Come on out. Committing the lady is the hard part there. She's a California native. So are you though.

She needs a son. Yeah, you're a California native. So are you though? Yeah, you're a California native. You know what's up. Now, I'm from Washington state, but I used to live in Illinois and Wisconsin for a little bit. Nice. Well, why don't you belly on up to the borrow thus tell us what's on your mind? Yeah. Well, see, I had a whole thing about, you know, I need help trying how to convince, you know, non-bin Westerners to move out there because, you know, I want what I want to do. But when I was calling to get on, I got pulled over for not being hands-free. And then I need to figure out any advice on how to get out of a ticket. So it doesn't happen again.

Wait, did you get a ticket? Cause you were calling us and that may have been what happened. I'm going to be honest with you guys. That is not our fault. That's on you man. Don't you have car play? It's 2023. Yeah. Are you not 2024 I'm not 24. Yeah. My car is not 23. So, well, did you tell the officer that you were calling into the belly to podcast and he didn't let you off? So, not only that, but he admitted to talking on his phone quote all the time and that I should just try harder not to do it. And I'm like, you just did you get a warning or did you get a ticket?

You do. Yeah. It's a, it's like a citation thing. I got to like, got to follow up with them apparently. So we'll see if I'm, he said, check the mail for a ticket. It's my first morning California. I don't know how to do things here. So he got detention is what he got. Yeah. Check the mail for exactly. I just show up on Saturday. Wait. So this cop pulled you over and he said, you know, I talk on my phone all the time. You just got to try not to do it. 100%. That sounds actually very Midwest. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I hate those roundabouts too, and they're tough. And sometimes I just go right through the middle, but try to go around them next time.

I was driving in Los Angeles in on the highway once, maybe 10 years ago. And I was on the phone and this cop on a motorcycle goes by, knocks on my window on his motorcycle while riding. We're going 10 miles an hour, knocks on the window, shakes his finger at me and then keeps on going, which I thought was scared the hell out of me. I think that was pretty dangerous. What were you doing? I was on my phone.

Oh yeah. Yeah. They're very- I love how you're saying that he's being dangerous by stopping you from being on your phone, being dangerous in your car. Well, you don't want to startle a distracted driver. Yeah, it's true. It's very true. It's a recipe for disaster.

Yeah. Is that even a law in Fargo or in North Dakota? Can you be on your phone? I don't know if it's official law. No Minnesota is a hands-free state, they say. Hands-free. Yeah, I don't even know about Wisconsin, but a lot of the phones are pretty easy. So what's going, is your USB cord broke or what's happening in your car?

Oh no, I was just, you know, being, being lazy, I guess I didn't think about too much and I think it's a bad habit, but you know, I had my phone up, it was speaker foam, but I was still holding it. So, you know, he was needed a quote or something. I don't know. So did you try to get out of the ticket? You know, I, I, I, not really, I kind of just tried to pull the whole, you know, yeah, sorry, my bad, like not, not, not a habit. It's not a, you know, normal thing and see if he'd be nice, especially after admitting that he did it, but you know, no, still, still walked away at the citation.

You tried to go to the honesty route. It didn't work. So you're looking for, It got me nowhere. Yup. So you're looking for- It got me nowhere. Yup, so you're looking, what other routes could we go? Exactly, exactly. You got that many stories or help, you know. This, you know, this is a very tough one, since the guy, what I would have done is been like,

come on dude, I mean, we all have these things. Our directions are on the phone, you know, if the screen's not working, like, do you want me to miss the exit or do you want me to... And at the same time, there's so many traffic accidents because people are so distracted on their TikToks, on their phone. And sometimes I feel like there are so many laws like that. Like, when you get on a plane and I promise this is somehow connected and you're checking a bag and they're like, do you have any lithium batteries in your bag? We're all like, yeah, no, no, no way. But I mean, even though it's a lithium battery, no, I don't know what the hell

I has a lithium battery, but probably everything and there's probably in my bag. Is that going to take a plane down? You know, because if so, I know everybody. I was in the little tunnel today that connects to the plane. And oh my gosh, they asked everybody because they didn't have enough room in the deal. A little puddle jumper and they're like, is there any lithium batteries? No. Any lithium batteries? No. Any lithium batteries? And I don't know. Isn't it because they explode? Yeah, they can, I think, if they get damaged or something. I think if they get wet or Yeah, they can, I think, if they get damaged or something. I think if they get wet or something, they get really hot or I think. So it could be bad. I don't

know. Yeah, it could be a bad news bears. Anyway, I don't know what that really. I also don't have my phone on airplane mode though. So yeah, I don't do. I well, sometimes I do to say battery, but that really had nothing to do with your situation. I promised it was connected in some way. Well, I mean, he's tried the honest route. So I think the next route is you're gonna need to strumb up some lies. Oh, you say, I'm sorry, I'm pregnant.

I'm on my way to the hospital. There you go. Yup, that's one way. He can't question me nowadays. No, he better not. You can just say, way you can't question me nowadays. No you better not you can just say hey And that I was talking that one doesn't work Are you are you at work right now? Yeah, who are you talking to? That was a co-worker

Where are you you're calling on your job? It's a lunch break, so it's okay. I Did that one responsibly. It makes sense. Yeah. It's, it's, yeah, it's about two there. That's good. Um, I forgot what I was going to say.

Um, yeah, let's, all right. So, well, your phone, you literally caught phone handed, you know? I mean, there's no real. Oh yeah. There was, you could? I mean, there's no real... Oh yeah. There was... You could say it doesn't work. You know? So you're using it as a stress reliever. You squeeze it, you know? Yeah, there you go.

Yeah. Got him. I'm kind of stumped on this because you know, it's hands free, hands free. Oh yeah. You know, it's hands free, hands free. Hand. Oh yeah. Could you hold something else in your hand? How does he know? Did he take a pic? This is it. How do you know, sir?

How do you know I was holding something? Were you distracted while you were driving? Yeah, like, hey, why weren't you watching the road? Yeah. Keep your eyes on your own. Oh no, their cop out is that they are trained Yeah, like, hey, why weren't you watching the road? Yeah. Keep your eyes on your own. No, no, their cop out is that they are trained in the art of driving while looking at their computers.

Is that why they call it cop out? Yeah. I was expecting more than a chuckle on that one. I don't know, Jake didn't laugh, so I usually take the lead from him. These guys only laugh at your jokes. They don't laugh at my jokes. Think you learned a tough lesson about who pays whose bills. I know, I know.

Well, I mean, you could go the diarrhea route, say, hey, I had a diarrhea emergency I got to do. You could do the, hey, that was actually my mother. That was actually my mother that called and my grandmother died. I mean, you could just do the classics, just meatball pictures down the road. I can't do those anymore.

Why? My wife used to always use that joke with my family and every time she'd use that joke, someone in my family would get sick. But I told her to stop using that joke. Well, it's not really a joke. Yeah, just choose something in her family. I guess excuse, I guess.

Oh, she would tell your family that her family member died, so she wouldn't have to spend time with your family? No, no, no. So, if she wanted to get out of something, sometimes she would say like, oh, I can't, you know, my husband, like, tries his mom or my husband, if something's, you know, my husband, my husband, if you know, they stick, whatever we have to go see them. And she did that like twice. And after each time she did it, somebody in my family ended up actually

getting sick. So I told her to stop fricking using that excuse. Geez. Let's see. Let's why does she not want to spend time with your family? Let's maybe dive into that for a second. Oh, no, it's not, it's not spent time with my family. It's to get

out like if she has to get out of something like with her friends or coworkers or something like that, she'll use my family as you. Oh, plausible deniability because they don't know his family that well. Well, you got a speaking which you guys, you guys move into the Midwest. I want to I'm trying to get her to what have you been trying to live in northern Illinois and Milwaukee. What I got trying to show her that it's not always you know she sees the frozen harsh winter and can't get over it. I keep trying to show her the fun you know not always you live in northern California. You live in northern California gets cold there too. Yeah, but not, not

the same. We don't really get the same kind of like, no, and I, what's the temperature there right now? Uh, like 56. Okay. 55. Yeah. How about this? How about in the summer when everything's on fire, you say, now can we move? Yeah. Yeah. That's the next plan. Last year wasn't so fun. So what you need to do. Okay. If she's worried about the snow and the cold, you need to remind her why we have snow and cold. So this is one thing I noticed about when I went to California, it's a little warmer, doesn't get much cold and never snows.

Everything is dirty Mm-hmm everything dirty now what you need to remind her is is the reason why we have snow and cold is It causes everything to die Or go dormant and then in the spring already Everything melts and cleans the world. The Midwest has an annual car wash for our landscape. And then all of a sudden everything looks clean, spick and span and everything grows and the feeling is unbelievable. Spring is amazing. Is it not, Charlie? It is. Yeah. You've never felt so good than in spring. And you need the seasons to. Your joints stop aching. They do. And you

can start mowing the lawn again, all of that. You just want to mow the lawn all year around? No. When would you shovel? Exactly. And also, how much fun is shoveling the drive? I mean, it sounds like a pain in the butt, but you know, tell her that it can be fun. And the next time it snows big, Miles, you know this trick, you just go hide some beers out there for your wife. And then you guys, it's like Easter.

You'd find a little Easter eggs and doing the drive is like a little date night thing. I feel like we're not giving them good advice You gotta be careful with that. If you catch a can you forgot about in the snowblower. It's not great Yeah, that's a shovel situation Yeah, yeah rest in pieces beer Well, I think you got a stop you got a Take what she's saying are the negatives about the Midwest and turn them into positives.

Build the snowman. Right. She ever built a snowman? I like that. Probably not. No. There you go. Start there. Work your way up.

Yeah. There we go. Start with the, yeah. There you go. I like it. Start calling there. You will snow angel. Yeah. She'll go. I like it. Start calling there, you little snow angel. Yeah. She'll be like, what's going on? What'd you do?

Yeah. I feel like we're flopping on advice for him right now. No, you guys did great. Has she ever been ice fishing? No, but you know, unfortunately, guess what? I hate to admit it, but neither have I Well, that's it. You know, you got it. You okay. Well, here we go, Charlie Yeah, yeah, yeah, you need to make a makeshift bucket list and Put a bunch of stuff that happens in the Midwest winter on it and then it basically be like you aren't gonna let me live all my dreams This is this is what I want to do before I die. I like that a lot and then it basically be like, you aren't going to let me live all my dreams.

This is what I want to do before I die. I like that a lot. Guilt they're into doing it. Yeah, guilt will go a long way. And then... Trust me, the Catholics have been doing it for centuries. I mean, it's the reason the church is still going, you know? Yeah. Guilt can power a whole...

If I know anything about healthy marriages. It's guilt and keeping score and Having a little or the other person you got to find leverage somehow And maybe catch her doing something bad and then you go alright I won't make a fit about this if we can move to the Midwest And if that doesn't work just build a ball around a way to have a healthy relationship. Yeah, yep You got it. You didn't even need that advice. You know, we're seeing I die. And if she still, uh, isn't feeling

the Midwest stonewaller, you know, just, just try the silent treatment cold shoulder. Literally. Yeah. Or just tell her one day, one day just start packing up your shit and say either you're coming with me to the Midwest or not Altima, yeah, there we go. That's that's the key The ultimatum is usually work. That's a secret weapon right there. Mm-hmm. Yeah people I don't know how people don't do that more often And I got an attic that you can live in if you want for like two three months They are my you have any Okay, okay good, but they're good eating help

Perfect. I had a I haven't had I haven't had my head squirrel. You had a squirrel I'm not a squirrel. You had a squirrel? Well, I mean, no, I've had squirrel, I'm saying. I haven't had, haven't had mice. Oh, yeah. We got a lot of squirrels here, too. Charlie's got a squirrel feeder. Yeah.

I do. It's just, it's corn on a, on a, on a nail. You nail a big nail through a board and then you just put a corn on that. Squirrels love that. And that is DIY, which is what you want to do is you want to go to your garage, grab that piece of wood you thought you would never use. You're going to stick, you're going to put it in the yard. You're a nail piece of our nail nail to it and stick the corn on the nail. Big nail. You got to get a big old nail. You could use a screw too. That's okay. That's the perfect short series right there is DIY with Charlie.

Yeah. Screw actually is nicer if you want to know the deal, because then you can screw it off easy. Like with a nail, if you jam it on, sometimes that, that ruins the consistency of the corn. So anyways, these are just facts. So you take your pick. We've given you lots of options. I think any of them will work. Oh, I 100% agree. I think the silent treatment, ultimately, I'm just, you know, just start strong, you know, I like that option too. That sounds like a good move. Yeah. Build those walls. All right. Before go ahead. Yeah. Keep them up. Before I let you guys go, I have some, some you betcha

merch, but Charlie, I need some of your merch. I got to, I got to see who's shirt, you know, I like better. Oh my gosh. Where do I get your shirt? Oh, thank you for asking. You can go to man twugman.com, click on the merch section. It's made in the USA. Miles is going to take this out of the podcast. Why don't you just have it on CharlieBarrons.com. It is. You can also go to CharlieBarrons.com, click on the merch section there. It's very confusing. It is very confusing. You know, I didn't, I don't know the brand Miles, you know, don't, don't drag me here. You got a favorite one. I should get oh Yeah, actually the one I'm wearing is really nice. Yeah, he would love the fake Wisconsin State Flag the guy who grew up in Washington lives in California. I think he would yeah, I think he'd love that

It's a nice one. It's a really nice hoodie to it's warm. Also. There's you know, there's old ones tell your folks I says hi, there's cribbage boards. I mean, cards, you know, I got it all. Yeah. Thanks for asking. I do appreciate that. Maybe I'll see you at a show sometime. You can get, you can get tickets at charliebearance.com. Click on the tourist section. But yeah, thanks for calling in. And, you know, I think we kind of helped you on this. If I'm gonna rate our helping on this, we kind of helped. It did. Yeah, not fully, but kinda.

Well, thanks for calling in, man. Good luck and hey. No, thank you guys, I appreciate it. Yeah, have a good one. Tell your wife we says hi. You too, Charlie. Your wife says try. All right, real good. Yeah, I'm tell you what that I don't think they're moving to the Midwest. I don't think so. If anything, I think that marriage is ending in about six months. If he does all the advice

we just gave him, there's no way. Yeah. Yeah. We should have asked what their love language was. I always, that should be a video we should do Midwest love languages. It's just acts of service. Yeah. That's it. The only one. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. We should do that. You know, Miles, sometimes it's like acts of service in the garage, an acts of service like on the boat, you know, it's just like it's funny, like my my parents, like my will will be doing a Christmas party or whatever. And that is the day. Oh, Fourth of July, every fourth of July, we got people coming over for the thing. My dad decides that's the day to clean the garage. Like without, without fail. That's his active service. That's how he's showing. He's helping just completely

not in the deal. Well, should we take another caller? Let's do it. Guys, we have a new presenting sponsor here on Bellied Up, and that is our folks over at Nicolay Law. Fear the beard. Nicolay Law is actually a award-winning accident and injury law firm, Charlie. No, okay. And you've probably seen their billboards around. The sun goggles and the old big beard. Yeah. The bald

guy with the beard is Russell actually is his name over at Nicolay law. Good guy. And what I like about Nicolay law is they're not your classic stuffy lawyer. Right. We've all gone down that road. They're speak to y'all proper this and that where these guys are a little bit more of the common man lawyers. And that's why I think it's a good fit for this podcast. You know, they're not wearing all those suits and ties. They're just wearing normal clothes and talking to you like a normal person. And I like that about them. They walk right up to the judge and their dickies, you know, and that's pretty slick. Well, we don't know that if they're doing that actually

in a court court room, but on a day to day basis. Yeah, I misunderstood. No, you're good. Hey, that rhymed. Yes. Nice. Anyways, I mean, there's just nothing more Midwest than driving down the road and seeing Russell Russell's bald head and his big old beard. He's just nothing more Midwest than driving down the road and seeing Russell Russell's bald head and his big old beard. He's really, I mean, become a staple of the Midwest billboard game right up there next to the cheese and fudge, the adult toy stores, wall, drug, wall, drug, the whole deal. There he is. And you know, I love the reflection in his glasses are just a bunch of trees because that's honestly usually what his billboards are around That is true. So guys you can check out Nicolay law at Nicolay law dot com

Welcome to the bellied up podcast who is calling in right meow Matt with two two keys, but Matt where you calling him from pal? Ontario Canada. Oh, way up north there. Oh, geez. Oh, yeah. Well, where's Ontario again?

Oh, Ontario. You don't know where Ontario is. Matt, tell me where Ontario is. So, you know, the other side of the league's superior. Oh yeah. So if you swim across there, that's pretty much Canada and yeah, straight north of Wisconsin. What you're saying? Well, on the other note, cause that's the Michigan side, but there's the top part, right? Yeah. Sorry. Straight north of the UP. Yeah. Yeah. And then like cut across like central Ontario. I got crossed. Yeah You know superior connects to Wisconsin too over by the Apostle Islands. You're up there in Ontario. What are you up to today?

Just get a little grocery shopping went and got gas We got a good storm coming tomorrow. So oh, yeah, it's applied. And like that, bad of a storm. You know, so far. Yeah. Well, I mean, it could be good. We don't know. Right. Like it all depends on how much green and how much snow.

How it all falls. What kind of supplies did you get? We're supposed to get snow for like a week street. Well, I got gas. Well, hold on. So you tell us the key to tell us the key to supplies for a Canadian storm. What do you need? We need gas for the snowblower, the snow machine or the whatever you're doing to clear the

driveway really. Like he is keeping a good driveway. Second thing, I guess would be, you know, just make sure you got enough of the perishables that, you know, you're not sitting there putting together, you know, beans, stew or whatever. You know, it's Monday too, right? So I just went grocery shopping. I knew I was gonna snow. What else do you need? I knew I was gonna snow. What else do you need? Va I got dope dope

Smoking yeah, you got a little Make sure you want that because if you're gonna do the driveway like 67 times because of the snow You want to have something to know take a break and relax. Yeah, you want to forget the first three times you did it. You know, so good. You got, Oh, you know, we got, yeah. And then, you know, just pop chips, you know, for, for after you smoked the dope, then, then you're going to need to do the driveway six or seven times, you know, you're going to, what did I get? I got barbecue. I got French onion. I got popcorn. Geez. I got all sorts. You went to the grocery store and you just got munchies and gas. Yeah. Hey.

What is the big storm coming? You know, do you have a good slushy drink so you get a nice big deal of snow in your cup and you ever put something on the snow and that could be good when you've had a little toco. Yeah, you know, usually you just get the can of pop or whatever in the snow somewhere. I hope you don't forget where you put it. Yeah. And then every now and then you forget a couple and springtime comes and you get bonus pop bonus pop. Yeah, I like that. I like that too. Well, why don't you belly up to the bone with us and tell us what's on your mind.

Okay. So I got a bit of a situation. Well, tell us about that situation. I have a snow machine. Nice. I got a snow machine and I want to get a second snow machine. I got a snow machine and I want to get a second snow machine But the problem is my shed can only fit one snow machine right now So I'm trying to think what what do I do do I a expand the shadows be either Move the shed or build a proper garage in its place Or I guess see now

Get one of those, you know, enclosed trailers that I can just store my slide in all year long and then I don't really have to go through the whole building process. Well, I like how none of the options you presented were don't get the second snow machine. Well, first off, I mean, of course you get the second, so machine. Yeah, that's not even what you do when you break the first one. No, I for our American listeners. I believe he's talking about a snowmobile. Charlie. Yeah. Oh, we, we should have. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all trying to

store. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Like a toboggan. So expand? Like a GT snow racer. Expand, start from scratch, or just store it in a trailer. The trailer is probably going to be the cheapest option. Have you priced these out? So yeah, the trailer is probably around brand new. She's about 10 grand. And then I've seen them as low as around maybe let's say 7,500 or something, you know, reasonably in the last decade.

And what's it going to cost you to do shed? Well, right now everyone wants to earn the like to build anything. So they're saying about $100,000 to do a proper garage. Oh, God. You know, concrete slab parking garage. Come on now. Awesome. I'm saying $100,000 so but much. So we can take out the start from here. The current shed, the current shed, well see the thing though is if I do a proper garage

I can park the car in the street. Even if I expand on the shed and buy a trailer, I still got no garage to park the car inside of, you know, so that's a lot of clearing snow off in the winter and a lot of, you know, sacking debris in the summer. Yeah. And think about all the time that you wouldn't have to be cleaning your car off. You could spend that smoke and more dope and Yeah, you can have a smoke shot too. Yeah. Yeah. Think about all the more dope. I already got kind of one of those too. You got what a smokehouse? Well, I just, you know, you use the shed currently as the smokehouse. Now, do you have a better half who's weighing in on these options as well?

No, no, I'm free to make my own decisions without a negative interference. Okay. Why are you assuming there would be negative interference if you had a whole ball and chain? You know, I don't know if you ever noticed this but uh a lot of people with your ball and chain are often complaining about your ball and chain told them what to do in fact right yeah I can't argue with that that's not in the equation you're good right so what do you want it sounds like you really want a new shed am I right I mean who doesn't want a new shed I do want to park my car in the garage. I would be nice.

But see the shed, like, uh, it's a good shed and it was hand built. Uh, you know, I see what's going on here. And I think that if you just take the one wall off that I can just, uh, I can expand out sideways and I could probably get two floods in there. Yeah. So I think what's happening is a classic, uh, you've attached sentimental value to this shed that you have. You've had it was made by hand. It's your current shed. It's where you've smoked lots of weed in a lot of fond memories, a lot of fond memories. And you just, you just have a little, what I call graduation goggles where if you tore that

thing down and put up a new shed, you'd be like, you know what? It actually wasn't that nice. But right now it's like, God, it's good enough for what it is right now. And I think that go ahead. The problem is, is like, if you build a new shed and you got to go to like home hardware or Home Depot and you get the wood and you know, two by fours and stuff, they're not the same as they used to. And then this shed, it's all like lumber. It comes, it's like, you know, when you go right to the source, it came right from the mill, right?

So it's rough cut. So it looks really nice. It's strong as shit. It's square and ain't going nowhere. Well, then you just pop a wall off. It still exists in it in an expanded form, right? Whereas if I build a brand new, then you're destroying it. I kind of like where he's coming from. Miles is very convincing. Yeah. They, they're not making wood like they used to. They're just not straight from the mill anymore.

No, no. And he's right. There is a lot. I haven't seen a straight two by four in a decade. No, I mean, a lot of curvatures going on there. This building is older than I am, almost as old as I am, and it's still square and it's still true. And the doors are all, it's all handmade. There There's no you don't go to the store to buy nothing

You know, it's just hinges and and plywood and it's still straight Still square and still choose up to the door in the frame, right? So If you've had a building for 30 years and the door is still straight on it. That's something right? Well, yeah Yeah, I mean it just can't argue with that. No, no, no, no. It's straight. It's true. It's doing the deal. The house that I built a few years ago. I mean, there's half of the doors don't even close. The house settled and all the two by fours. Oh, I thought I got I put a, I put a summer door in on the on the other.

I got a sauna. I put that door in and that door from day one was never in deck. Can never get perfect. Well, that might have been. Drive myself nuts. Why, you know, there was a, you know, too much dope couple of drinks, couple of smokes, pretty much. But you know, if you squint, it's mint.

I like that. It's squint, it's mint. I like that. Squint. It's me. If you're looking at it sober enough to notice that it's not square, then you're not in using the building properly. Can you believe this guy's single miles? Jeez. It's the 20. It looks good in 2020. Going 20 miles an hour and 20 yards away. There you go, bud. Well, I think we mapped it out. You said you used a dilemma, right? I think you... Yeah, you do the shed or you get the

trailer. Because the trailer is to purpose, right? You can take your slugs places and you can put your stuff in it. Well, let's be honest. You're getting the trailer anyway, because you're going to want to... If you have two sleds and that word gets around Ontario that you got Two sleds well guess what people are gonna be calling you up. Hey, let's go snow machine in You know and now all of a sudden you're gonna have to do it anyway So you might as well if you're the guy with two sleds It's just a single trailer and it's going on clothes Yeah, it's's just a single trailer and it's going to close. No, I... Trade it in.

Yeah. And it's just like a utility trailer. Well, why don't you expand your trailer? You ever think about that? That's going to be a lot of welding. Yeah. Well, you're... That's going to be a lot of welding. It's going to be a lot of...

And being a lot... Carpentry. Woodwork? All right. All right. So you're not a... You're not a good welder is what it comes down to here. More or less. I mean, I never weld it. All right. Here's what we're going to do. You're going to cut stuff with the torch,

you know, you know, when you melt stuff or you take a piece of knee bar and you twist it around and shop class and get a lot of that. But here's what we're really going to do. We're just going to make a decision. And I think the decision should be that you should pop that wall open in the existing garage. You made great points about it being square and wood that's straight from the mill. You don't want to get rid of that. So pop off the side, do an expansion pack. You still can't park your car in the garage in that shed if you do an expansion or you can. I cut it. It wouldn't be long enough. Right? They used to have a rule said you had to be like a hundred feet,

you didn't need to permit. So that's like kind of what it was built to. Now they kind of changed it, they made it bigger. So I can't expand it and I'll have to deal with it. But in order to go garage size, right? Park of Cards, you'd have to go get like a whole permit and do all that crap. Well, I mean, or you don't. I mean, the permit thing is really just so they can tax your ass more.

You know, it's, you go do the right thing. More or less, 100%, right? Yeah. But you know, you get that nosy neighbor that gets peaked into your affairs. Well, bribe your neighbors with some hooch. And then that's solved. Tell them they can have free access to the sauna and they can use your second snow machine if they don't go saying peep about your expansion. Well, what you could do is throw in the neighborhood Facebook group, just be like, I can't believe I was able to do my expansion one half foot smaller than the square footage needed for a permit. What a lucky stroke I got here. And then they won't, what are they going to think? Oh, that he's bragging about this illegal activity

he did. He just put a smoke signal up. Yeah, nobody would do that. If I saw Facebook group, hey, I was able to do this. I wouldn't go and measure that. No, but there might be somebody who has to join the Facebook group for the neighborhood. Oh, no. We don't do that. All right. You got to make a decision. You got to make a decision right here right now. What are you going to do? We've weighed the options. We've talked to pros and cons. What is your heart telling you? I think I think I think given the situation not having the ball and change to tell the otherwise, I think we're going to expand the shed and buy trailer. Okay. All right. That's good.

I like that. You just need to talk it through over a couple beers here. And now you can park your car. I've been thinking on it. You can park your car in the garage now with that expansion because the, the, uh, snow machines are in the trailer. Oh yeah. Snow machines are in the trailer.

I don't know if we build the shed back big. Oh Well, sure you what you're so how wide the car how long the car you probably what you're gonna need at least What ten feet wide? To park inside something. Yeah, and then that might get in the way 15 long is this just like a lawnmower shed? Are we thinking that this thing is much bigger than what it is? I mean, like it's big enough. You could, you know, back of the day with snow wheels only had, you know, 1.29 tracks. You could park two inside of them. Why don't you just store them vertical like they do with bikes? Yeah hanging on the wall

You were bragging about how good the old wood was and how sturdy it was Let's test that shit put a little ramp at the top and just I'll just so I'll just pick her up off the ground and hanging on Well, you'd have a winch system my guy guy. I mean, come on. You sound like a handy guy. You know what? I wasn't too keen on having a fixed up hook. Now that we're talking winch, yeah, you got it.

I'll have to hold a story. Police, the more fulcrums and access points or axes you can make, the easier it will be to lift. I like just doing a little jump at the base of your shed and then you just get some air and then you aim for the hook, you know. Now you're gonna have to get a sturdy hook and this probably won't work 95% of the time you do it, but you're gonna get really good at jumping your snow machines. I know, I don't think that's a good idea, but you know, you ever go over open water on your snow machines?

And not intentionally. No, no. That's a good way to, you know, get yourself wet. You know, you're the sauna. You don't want to be going through the ice. Yeah. Okay. Well, I think, you know, well, I think you made a decision. We're excited for you. You're getting a new trailer and a shed expansion. We're excited for you with the winch edition. Yes. Good for you. Oh, yeah. Winch edition. A winch in the way. Yeah, we'll figure it out. Yeah. You'll put it on a hat next time. All right, man. Well, thanks for calling in. Good luck with your expansion and have fun with that new trailer years.

Absolutely. Thanks for taking my call boys and yeah, happy snow shoveling. Yeah, we're proud of you. All right, real good. Rip a joint on us. Okay. Take care boys. All right. See you now. All right, take care boys. All right, see you now. Isn't it fascinating to you that they know what's going on with American football, but I couldn't tell you at Lyca what's going on with the CFL?
