#5 Bartenders Are The Best Therapist

we are here at walsky's over there in milwaukee uh for another episode of the bellied up podcast and we are bellied up right now we are bellied up at the car we're kind of backed we're backed up a little bit we'd belly up but you know camera angles and all that got a fun set of shows uh so for the we we've got two podcasts this will be one of two and uh we couldn't really decide if we won midwest advice so we put out on our socials hey if you got any advice or you got something you want buy sell and trade call in we said we were gonna give people advice but people just started calling in and giving us advice yeah and then i went back and checked the tape of what i put out on social media and what you put out and it does seem like we want them to give it back so i mean that's standard for us yeah we're not thinking it all the way through yeah um but you know it worked out we did get some advice we want this relationship with the callers to be a give and take relationships and truthfully after the number of beers and whiskeys we had here we should not be giving advice so it's nice to get some too but we had a lot of great callers i i think yeah so let's talk a little bit about where we're at this is uh some milwaukee staple right it is it is uh so you might see this on bumper stickers around the nation i closed wall skis one i'm gonna have one of those hopefully when i leave here yeah i think you're in you're in line to close the bar right now and uh we've got a few hours left before i can do that yeah yeah well though it's still light out we got here at two when they opened and we got here it opened closer down yeah and it closed that too so that's a solid 12 hour day yeah so i think we're on track for that right now and also we introduced a a new bit which is where we just instead of calling in if you're here hop on to the bar stool that's what this is for this uh the hot seat the hot seat and when when we're not uh having a guest here it's you're being occupied by a ghost who i'm crowding right now so it's really the hot stool as i think maybe stool well hot stools got other connotations yeah that's what happens after a visit to taco bell but um anyway uh we did have a lot of great stuff miles what else is going on with you and your life before we get to the rest of the pod what do you have going on pal well we're doing a little trip through uh wisconsin doing a small town bar tour yeah how's that been going any any fan favorites uh it's been going well each one it's uh they all are similar but they're all unique you know it's like snowflakes snowflakes or fingerprints there's also the amount of snowflakes in the world there's also same amount of bars in wisconsin so they're about equivalent in numbers and unique in their own way yes and i'm talking real snowflakes not the ones that right right i've come to light in the last few years yeah yeah no and it's nice and and you know having a good small town bar there are a couple staples that you like to see gotta see bar dice gotta see gotta see pull tabs you gotta do this i'm a pull tab investor actually is one of my titles yeah i know that's a good thing to invest forget bitcoin go with pull tabs invest in pull tabs invest in the local economy it'll always it always end up good for you what you spend a hundred dollars you make twenty dollars yeah well not make you make back twenty dollars so that was negative eighty bucks ain't bad for a trip to the bar let me ask you this what was the best you've ever done with pull tabs i did i did score big on a big 500 pull tab done at once in my life it was a euphoric moment for me really where was it i was i was stunned it was in fargo was it in fargo yeah you know i'll say this about fargo uh back when we were doing the show and i can't remember if i brought this up on another podcast or not but you had this cool thing where you could actually play poker in the bar and and all the proceeds were going to some charity which made me feel better about losing 300 bucks yeah made you feel better about being an absolute degenerate gambler i like gambling the nice thing about gambling though is no one's talking to you about anything other than blackjack you know isn't that nice well unless you make a bad move on the blackjack table then someone's mad at you for hitting when you shouldn't yeah but that's they're talking about blackjack which is fine that's true i can only handle very uh very directed conversations yeah i like that um but yeah they got all those things they usually have uh you know they usually have like a local bartender that everyone knows everyone knows their name they're kind of like without the bar or without them there is no bar type of feel which is fun to meet those people and talk to them along the way and yeah uh now here uh they got some nice popcorn and and uh delicious popcorn it is it's it's well well seasoned uh with um salt and um also a little hint of butter drinking it keeps you drinking and it's good for your thyroid did you know that salt is an electrolyte so really we're just rehydrating it's like gatorade if the gatorade was popcorn and beer and so we're just health-conscious you and you weren't an athlete and yeah definitely not definitely not so uh but no i i think we got a lot of good callers on this we've been doing this for a couple hours now and jeez you know we we got some real hum dingers in there so i think people will be excited about it frankly can you define a humdinger for him yeah a humdinger now a normal dinger you know what that is yeah well a hump dinger is like a normal dinger with a little bit more hum behind it i figured that's where you were going with that and that's a humdinger humdinger baby so i'm wearing sweatpants i'm feeling good and um you know you're clad in the jeans and the t-shirt and we're ready to rock and roll i don't yeah i don't it's a great visual for everyone yeah i just wanted to let people know what i'm some people want to know hey what do you wear you get that a lot or you like hey you know what's your fit today i want to see are you a fashion influencer now or yeah i think i am all right i got some i i yeah i am a sweatpants guy today you know you like mixing camels is what i noticed yeah i am a big i camel got one pattern sometimes i go two patterns of camo you never know what woods you're gonna end up in you don't know what camo you're gonna need so it makes sense to put on a few different ones so diversify or die uh you know just like pull tab investing you got to diversify your portfolio sometimes you do the electronic machine sometimes do the cardboard ones sometimes there's just the paper ones yeah diversify your portfolio is really the lesson that really is and speaking of lessons we got a lot more advice to get to which we're going to dive into right now i think we should not do any further ado i think we should dive into some callers what do you think next episode of the bellied up podcast hello matt are you there yes hello how are we doing i'm good matt where are you from uh i'm from florida well matt why are you calling today what do you need some midwest advice maybe a buy seller trade what do you got going on i mean i would love some advice yeah let's first of all is it matt or max m-a-t or m-a-x it ends with an x oh max sorry okay you know miles has had a couple i've had a few yeah sorry about that i did not mean to not so max what's cooking um well not much i'm gonna be honest you know i've just kind of been living life so yeah do you need some midwest advice today or anything you buy sell or trade in also what is going on in your background there max what's going on it is a band playing at the moment is it a bar are you calling this from a bar max no well you could tell why we might think that you know what yo now it's quiet you stepped outside didn't you are you in the bathroom yeah oh good all right all right what's cooking max let's get down to it i've been looking for some advice i'm gonna be honest with you guys advice he wants little advice yeah what do you got max yeah so um you know i've been sort of trying to balance out my life in a couple of things and uh i'm you know sort of talking to a girl and so i was just wondering how do i go about like confessing my feelings but also you know not being too straightforward oh you've come to the right place uh you know miles has a successful relationship so far so far um so we'll give you a to-do and don't do situation here so you got yourself someone that you've been fancying you want to tell her how she feel how you feel and you don't know how to say it is that correct yes sir all right i'll let charlie start i can only tell you from uh i can only tell you what not to do don't go all in too quick because they might they might get cold feet they if you go all in too quick they might be like wow he's all in i should really seriously think about this uh but if you kind of just let them know subtly over the course of a little while you know then maybe they'll start warming up to you a little bit you know what honestly i have no good advice in this yeah i can tell so we let that go out um i think maybe you just you this is always a good move send a snapchat so that it erases what do you think he's sending to her that it erases what do you mean are you saying it erases so like she can't remember what he says no like it just the picture's gone unless you screenshots it oh you think he's going to the picture phase right now and then if you get a bad response then you can just say oh sorry that was to the wrong person then you got you're good on both sides of the spectrum you know what both of this is awful i'll tell you what does she like to do just tell me what she likes to do give me one thing she likes well i'm going to be completely honest with you guys she's sort of like the complete opposite that i am i'm a touch potato myself i like to stay inside and just watch the game every once in a while with a couple of wings and my boys but uh she's very adventurous and travels a lot so she um likes to she has a bucket life if uh it's like a bucket list in her life and just enjoying she does a lot of things that you know fear me because i have a crippling fear of heights and when she wants to go bungee jumping i'm not the first person she calls well i mean that's that's you're in right there uh face your fears go bungee jumping with her and right before you jump tell her how you feel and then she'll get a little bit distracted by the actual jump but then it'll also then you'll have some time for her to think about it not have a weird reaction right away then after the jump could be pretty romantic though falling down bungie and back up could be romantic i think we're getting somewhere here yeah because the way the way you're doing it she's kind of like the yang to your yang first of all do you uh think that this long term is gonna work out if you like sitting on your couch eating wings with your boys and she likes jumping off cliffs you think this is has long-term potential max or no you got to be honest with yourself about that i mean you have a point and you know i'd like to think so i'd like to uh more get out of my comfort zone sort of live my life and she sort of opened me up to that wow okay that makes sense um yeah maybe this is your this is your way to give up call of duty and start doing more bungee jumping yeah and maybe she is opening up a piece inside of you that you've always wanted to be a guy who gets off the davenport and jumps off a cliff and uh and maybe you can balance her out too maybe she doesn't always have to be jumping off cliffs maybe she can be you know maybe she can enjoy a winger to herself or what you could do is you can meet in the middle invite her over sit on your couch and watch youtube videos of people bungee jumping to maybe warm up to actually bungee jumping or strap a bungee cord to a davenport and send that off a cliff you know there are ways to compromise in this world max and we're just here to help you find those so eating in the middle is always great for a relationship yeah so good luck with this one now let me ask you lastly are you trying to tell her you love her or that you want to date her exclusively you're in like with her we'll start with bungee jumping make sure you like that too because you're in for a lifetime of it if you end up going the mile i mean it would be bad to end up dating someone who loves skydiving and you don't like to skydive because it's kind of a life thing so and max before we let you go here we do we want to remind you we're a couple whiskeys deep so this may not be the advice to take but thank you for trusting us but it is advice it is advice we didn't promise it'd be good advice but this is midwest advice so i think the last thing i'd say is just take that leap man just take the leap wow very poetic literally and figuratively take the leap yes yeah good for you max i'm how old are you lastly how old are you i'm 19. you're 19. wow you got a lot of clips to jump off of between now and say if you're scared of heights man there yeah i don't know jump off a cliff take it easy but there's no harm this one probably won't work out in the long term but i didn't want to say that yeah probably not but so then who cares max jump off a cliff see how you like it give her some wings see how she likes it and you never know weirder things have happened my grandparents got together when they were 1902 and they stayed together for 50 some odd years you know so could be love at first jump it could be or wing so may the force be with you so take all that digest it don't make a rash decision today yeah um think about what we said and i think you might end up uh yeah feeling pretty good by the end of it start by getting out of the bathroom though that's a good start okay max all right i'll i'll give you my best shot all right all right well we appreciate you calling in man thanks for being up to the bar with us and and watch for deer when you jump will ya absolutely see ya i thought i'd be the blunt one in that situation but you really just i thought that it wasn't gonna work well i've had a few experiences recently where i'm just saying i'm just gonna be honest with the kid you know he's 19. yeah i mean best advice is especially like your taste is gonna be so much different when you're 25. also why does he like her so much if she's so i think there's some deep inside of him that wants to do more than sit on the couch i think there is too i think she is what he aspires to be really is what it is that's really what we're trying to do in relationships isn't it find the puzzle piece for all the things missing in our lives you know absolutely exactly it's tough though if you're the puzzle piece that's been chewed up by the dog you know or you're in the wrong puzzle oftentimes you're not oh god this isn't even for this puzzle yeah someone just found you under the couch cushion they're like i guess it goes in this box and you're like where the hell am i supposed to go yeah that's good we're getting very deep here on the belly podcast feel very merry yes hello hey who's this who's charlie uh this is jack speaking jack how are you you're here with charlie barons uh from the manduak minute miles you betcha guy i think you called our show and we just wanted to call you back and see if that was happening well i appreciate you calling me back no it's nice for you to pick up yeah yeah so you know do you have any advice uh that you'd like us to give can you give us some advice sure okay what's going on actually i think i think back when miles is podcast you betcha you guys ran an episode talking about like midwest complaints one of them was during the nfl season it's when you guys are on like the road and you don't have reception to watch any nfl games yup so if you go to the app store and get the yahoo sports app make an account there's a there's a spot to watch them for free i think it's like they might be regional games that you'd watch but you have access to like five games throughout the day that you could watch for free [Music] for free i mean that's sign up with an email that's great advice did you know that charlie i didn't know you could do that see i'm learning something on this podcast too and you said your name was jack right yep all right jack thanks he calls in and he's giving us advice versus the other way around that's that is what we're talking about and also for that is that not the way it's supposed to work oh well no usually we're supposed to give you advice but frankly we're in no position to give advice that's part of the beauty of this um yeah that's wonderful you guys have any any general advice to give to me wow what do you have trouble what what are you having the most trouble with in your life right now jack don't be shy um i i don't think i can really complain about much oh you can't complain about much so yeah yeah it sounds like you you though jack you're doing a good job of repressing your true emotional feelings deep down inside in true midwest fashion true midwest fashion we bury any of our complaints deep deep down and i like that i admire that about you now jack i can tell that you do have some deep-seated emotional issues uh and and frankly i think that's okay i like how you're burying them deep down inside i do the same thing so you know you want to bury them way deep down into the uh stomach region until it forms this like emotional bowling ball in your stomach and then what you want to do is make sure you go bowling at least twice a week okay that that really lets it get it out just get it out things you're not thinking are bothering you let it out on those bowling pins take the lightest ball that they have and i want you to throw that thing as hard as you can down the lane at those pins that'll feel good overhand and get the bumpers too so you don't get frustrated guarantee you've got your last thing you want is to be able to do a gutter ball and then you got more pent-up stuff going on make sure you got the bumper so you're hitting pins sound good jack or no gotcha all right that's that's wonderful no we got you jack we got you here at the bellied up podcast thanks for belling up to the bar with us we appreciate you yeah sure no problem thanks for calling in man all right thank you guys hope you all have a good day you too now jack's a good guy isn't he i see you got some pent up emotional damage well he did you know you want to be honest about it or are we gonna just gonna bs around the true issues here you know i didn't know that charlie barons was so direct yeah i've had some therapists you know [Music] usually they're fishing guides is one of them's names gibson and sitting on the bar behind you that's how it goes yeah you know you can find yeah that is true yeah in the midwest we don't have therapists we have bartenders that's right hey everybody how you doing it's me charlie your

quite a quite often he used to work at a pretzel shop and he got fired from that auntie anne's yeah i was a bike mechanic i i did a lot of i need to hear a good story about you getting fired you know what mostly it consisted i'll just do the short version because you're gonna know why i need to tell this because otherwise we'll go on and on he got fired for being too chatty really with the customers you know productive that is the actual reason i got fired straight up where'd you work oh he can't say it he can't work for a company out in waukesha what industry roughly uh insurance insurance well yeah isn't that what is your insurance people don't if you're an insurance agent all you do is talk and talk and go golfing and that's about it right you're a steaks and wine guy you're supposed to chit chat until they buy whatever crap you're selling them i was talking to too many co-workers that's where they got me yeah that'll do it not enough selling i hate to break it to you but they already have insurance you gotta find people that don't have it you know no one told me that wow yeah maybe it was a bad orientation that he had that could have been it probably wasn't your fault must not be if you're in this bar it was not your fault now what what do you really want to do i doubt selling insurance is what you ever really wanted to do well hold on before we move on from the insurance thing here yeah did you play college sports at any moment i played no college sports okay because that's usually if you're a college athlete you get like three jobs after you're done playing you either go sell insurance you sell cars or you end up being a realtor and those are the only three options you have or you become the you betcha guys i'm in the minority here have you seen his college football uh photos you gotta make sure people watch this video here otherwise i'm gonna be selling insurance here pretty soon you don't want to do that yeah yeah also uh sounds like your former employer's got an open slot maybe give them your me give me your their numbers so if this doesn't work out i got a job lined up yeah i probably won't be able to give you a referral anymore i'll be honest they're going to google search me one time and they're going to be like oh i'm not hiring that guy so he's gonna yeah i know on the uh resume so what what do you wanna do now you got the world at your fingertips what do you pie in the sky when you were a kid and you're like i can do anything what would that be i think i'm just gonna take a few weeks off and belly up to the bar for a

could be anything what do you really want to do what's at the ticker what's at your heart doing exactly what i'm doing right now she likes it well why don't you sell beer why don't you get it there yeah you're a beer salesman in in wisconsin they got what the distributors and then they got a whole weird system every person i know that works for a distributor is always drinking at the bar so it's going to be uh i honestly have never thought of that and that's it's not the worst idea ever no it's not a worst idea it's a great idea you're on the belly dump podcast there's nothing but bad ideas here this is that's a great idea though yeah well yeah you could do that there are plenty of places squirrel finds a nut once in a while all right yeah i'm still looking hey so why listen yeah this is your first uh this is your first day on the job miles you betcha guy yes is weary of putting miller light in his bar what do you say to him did i hear you say something about he was talking crap about our wisconsin beer before oh yeah he was yeah so i heard that you like guys i heard that he's a bush light fell so yeah how do you get him probably going to be hard to talk himself out of this one well how do you how do you get him how do you sell him as a beer salesman now to put some miller light in his bar are you from wisconsin i am not i am from fargo north dakota and how'd you end up here

and then and then tell them how good miller light is and liney kugels you know oh yeah well you can't go to a brewer's game and it'd be 85 degrees out and drink a bushlight you got to drink a line but isn't it indoors but no yeah you got to drink a line he's like a summer shandy you can't be having a a bush blotter there's just nothing more refreshing than an ice-cold bushlight have you had a summer shandy i i have had a summer shandy before when i was i mean what sixteen maybe sixth is the first time i mean it's not my beer of choice all the time but there's specific spots for it see we're working on this right now he doesn't have the the tag line that bush does the the people the patrons of the bars just maybe maybe beer salesman is not for me first of all first of all that's what you call a tagline it's just saying it's not we could do that with lining so it could take line well then you sound like a snake well what do you sound like with bush just a guy who's about to say [ __ ] sounds like an ice cold mountain stream that's what it sounds like head for the mountains baby i think that's coors first of all head for the mountains is a bush phrase is it oh yeah ah i can't keep up with it anyway well yeah maybe beer sales means not up your alley maybe not a salesman thank you i don't want to be a salesman maybe you should just test bar have you thought about

street to the butcher and i get me a fresh one that he probably made i don't want to know what's in it but it's not cigarette butt i'll tell you that jason do you know what libel is just out of curiosity because because as much as we would love to you know project to the world that johnsonville put cigarette butts in their bratwurst we need some sort of factual evidence to back that up before you just start spitting these before you dive into that you know where you happen to be grilling with a cigarette butt in your mouth accidentally have it drop on the grill are you a smoker jason first of all why do you why are you so against johnsonville when did they fire you what's going on i don't work at johnsonville i'm just an avid tailgater for the milwaukee brewers they should probably sponsor a tailgate they don't they you're a tailgater for the milwaukee brewers yeah that's a that's right that's a profession yeah what that's a profession and i tell you and i tell you what they just hate that we're out there celebrating so the the second or third inning then those guys on the cute little bikes come through say hey you gotta go and we're looking down at a grill that has [ __ ] uh cigarette butts in our sausages all right the hell am i supposed to go into the in there and spend eight bucks for a sausage when i just bought 24 for eight bucks oh sorry i love how he said he was gonna give us advice but instead this is just johnsonville why why first of all johnsonville they make some good broads all right i'm just gonna say they do have good brats did you did you unthaw them is the real question yeah did you hunt all those broads cause that could you know if you're eating uh a broad that's frozen side i i get you that broad sucks but that's uh operator air jason so why do you think i mean what is it about johnsonville's that you don't like so much let's get to the root of the problem i think he doesn't like the cigarette butts is really what he doesn't like about him yeah no it was it was that it was that i'm sorry i just i just kind of had to lay it out there just for you know a young tailgater coming up in the world well once yes everything's got got five bucks in his pockets all right um let me like diffuse the situation a little you got mr behrens a little worked up about johnson johnsonville i get him at the quicker but i'm not listen jason your opinion is valid and you as a human being are valid i learned that in therapy once therapy again bartender great therapist um what can we give you any advice jason do you have what's hurting at your soul what's the underlying issue here huh give it to me did you just get through a breakup and you're taking it on johnsonville what's going on no i was just i honestly was just thinking about it today while i was working i'm actually at work right now i went outside like in our conference room did the brewers have a game today or wait i don't yeah they play at 5 30 over in pittsburgh so he's in the parking lot no they're in pittsburgh oh okay yeah you know you are making enemies here johnsonville's not a fan sheboygan is not happy with you right now and now pittsburgh's pissed off with you what's why are you up here making enemies what's at the heart of it come on what's what's bugging you what's in your craw what crawdad's nipping at your little toe would you call me charlie brown chase go away no i said i said charles and miles listen up all right we're listening up jason that's all we're doing here i've been all years this whole time we're here to listen to you fella so so i was just sitting at work where do you work where do you work where are you gonna get fired from once i can't i'm not gonna i'm not gonna i'm not gonna sponsor it like that all right because i'm the only jason here so i see only jason there all right all right i was sitting at work yeah and then i was thinking about it i was like i was like what makes the perfect tailgate not those johnsonvilles that have the cigarette butts you know i apologize losing water here uh and not those other brands that claim to be up there like krogers and and i don't even know what else you get from like piggly wiggly maybe no harm on them i love piggly wiggly but i was just thinking what makes the perfect tailgate it's that perfect meat from the butcher paused on all that but from the butcher you know he works for a butcher shop that's why he works for a brick you know jason i do like what you're saying buy local oh we got bar dice going on back here i'll do a shake of the day by the way i just want to say that uh jason listen i agree with you buy local that's nice and those butchers do know what they're doing uh what kind of brats do you go and what butcher do you go to shout out to his staff advice that he was asking on is what makes a perfect tailgate charlie is that it yeah that's what he is that's what he just asked all right jason i don't know if you guys are about to laugh right here but the the butcher i go to is on beecher meats so it's our beecher so it's your meat beat your meat no beach or meat it's a beacher is a street okay we're not talking about any frisky stuff you do uh you know yeah when you're trying before you're trying to fall asleep or if you're you know bored at work or if you're bored where do you work again jason you go to that information you go to beecher meats all right that's a that's a nice spot over there now what do you what's your typical order at beecher meats so you go there so they change the variety every every week so you go there to keep variety in when you're beating your meats yeah get two regular two two spicy ones two eucher brats and then uh two of whatever the [ __ ] you want but but yeah get like about like eight of them and then there's eight packs of buns in a pack so i mean it makes sense to me instead of that odd number five what the hell johnsonville uh well johnsonville is not selling buns fella okay you're you are getting in yeah they're selling five bra there's so many five bratz yeah you listen you don't have to argue with me on that i do think there's a conspiracy between the bun makers and the brat makers and one psalm five the other selling six so you gotta buy two of one or the other and i'm not good with math so i usually buy you know tree of both of them but um yeah yeah regardless we are going to give you some great tailgating advice since i think that's what you really called it for okay miles yeah first of all you got to make sure you got the right people lined up for the tailgate nothing can kill a tailgate faster than a debbie downer you know debbie downer is yeah it's usually like your buddy's girlfriend that you're like yeah oh you gotta bring her or you know what's the deal or your gal's boyfriend who's also drinking seltzer you know really it's the seltzer drinkers that are don't bring a seltzer drinker to the tailgate it'll kill the whole vibe it doesn't might matter if they're a gal or a guy or whatever okay if they're drinking seltzers they're problematic off the top okay so uh you want to eliminate them next thing i will say is get your game variety going i was gonna say games are huge yeah so you want uh i i like testicle toss myself uh and that is oh it's like uh it's where you got the two balls on a string and you throw them what do you like i i've just heard norwegian gold yeah i know yeah norway golf i call it testicle toss some people call it ladder ball whatever you want to call it testicle toss is a different game where i'm from so i usually try and stay away from tesco toss but i like testicle toss any way you cut it uh but listen jason so you start off with the games giant changes great get yourself a dice cup giant jenga at a tailgate is a no-go what are you kidding me right now no no why would you say cornhole cornhole's great what's wrong with chai and chang this is like i don't know it's a little bit of a try hard move at a tailgate oh big giant jenga blocks no no if you've got extra two by fours sitting around your house why throw them out when you can just cut them into you know uh ten by tens and st stack them up and you got yourself a nice little i'm just not a giant jenga guy you just don't like uh what what what don't you like about giant chango sorry jason we're sidebaring you right now i like that i'd rather just toss a football back and forth well i like tossing a football or toss in a baseball old pigskin you know the old pigskin all right well we're gonna have to agree to disagree on that all right we're gonna have to leave it there all right uh but hopefully that was i just wanna i wanna i wanna say something here quick i i i do realize that i did burn johnsonville like a lot yeah and maybe it's because you're burning the johnsonville maybe you're not maybe you're not cooking your brats right and that's it let me ask you this do you have a beer do you have a okay i know i know i i insulted you there and i apologize for that but let me ask you this do you have a beer bath sitting on your grill so when your johnsonvilles get hot enough and they're ready to go you you simmer them in the hot tub of beer no because you know this could be a life-changing advice for you right now put some onions and some beer in a little beer bath sit it on a grill a few cigarette butts add to the flavor in the beer bath anyways so actually i think you're just doing your cooking wrong yeah i think we got to the root of this problem after all it's not johnson you know it's there techniques and i would i would like to put as advice as well to don't get one of those rinky dink only six beers fit in the cooler get the get the big boy right let's let's have some fun there's some advice for you you gotta make sure the cooler's got wheels on it don't be one of those guys without the wheels don't be a hero yeah we don't need a hero mild yeah this ain't my first tailgate okay thank god i would like to say i'm an amateur pro i'm an amateur pro i'm not saying that i'm gonna be the best i'm not saying i'm doing the outrageous stuff but let me tell you what the grill is good the brats not burnt and the cooler wheels okay with at least maybe 48 bushlights in them yeah i you know i'm not counting the only thing else to add and i'd say is that beer bath on the grill beer bath on the grill okay and you can use bush light for that amateur pro yeah and put some amateur pro put some linings in your cooler put some millers in your core put oh no no let's not get too crazy here let's not get distracted why is my life cheaper why is high life cheaper than miller lite why is that it just for fun just for fun and honestly it's a great beer i went to the liquor store the other day i got a 12 pack of high life for six bucks a 12 pack of miller lite was almost nine bucks that's the big prices you're gonna pay with going with uh inferior and an inferior beer stick to busch light always a great value brand and uh you're gonna have a great tailgate false uh yeah i'm not gonna i'm not gonna lie though miller light sucks yeah i said it there you go jason jason we just got you off the johnsonville thing you know you got a lot of anger in your soul fella we're gonna have to get to the bottom of that at a different time but at least we got you on a good trajectory with your uh grilling habits at the tailgate yes thanks for calling for calling i am right now we're sitting at a bar we've had a few drinks buzzing a little bit thanks for calling in my guy hey thanks for calling back and sorry for all the hate i definitely didn't want to do that but i just felt like this is probably the best place to steam off so i apologize have a great day boys sometimes miles sometimes you could tell it in that fella uh he's got a lot of internal something going on and he takes it out on whatever the nearest target is could be miller like could be johnson i mean he just clearly works at a local butcher shop for sure yeah i mean that was working over at beecher yeah that was the most obvious all right there was the callers for this episode yeah uh charlie i think we're due for another drink i think we are i hope you learned something we certainly learned something and uh that's just what we're doing here if you want to be a caller just be looking on our what usually instagram stories on our social media get up when we're doing a calling session just call the number have something ready to go yeah and uh we'll try and answer every question you got and if we don't get to you we'll call you back okay yeah and if you don't answer we will leave a voicemail so that's the fun thing about it too so make sure you're looking out and calling and uh until then belly up to a bar
