17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: It was real fun. That's okay. You know what we need.

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: It's the ying to our yang. We need it, exactly

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: need it. We feed off of it. You know.

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: I think he's more the yangs.

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but I do have

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: a visual in my head right now.

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: So good. So, like you're coming to town January thirtieth

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: and thirty first, and right right after you leave here,

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: you're going to San Diego a few days later. I mean, boy,

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: you're it's like you're just polarizing all over the place.

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I don't know. That's going to

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: be a real shock to the system there, but you know,

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: that'll be fun. It's always it's always a good time.

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: I getting out there, and kind of anywhere I go,

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: there's a lot of Midwesterners, So even Fibbs, there's Fibbs

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: there too, and they get in the arguments.

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Yes, FIBs everywhere. Do you notice a really big difference

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: between the audience in the Midwest and how they react

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: to you? And then the first is an audience.

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Like that's a good question. I mean because I thought

37
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: the same thing. I was like, oh, they you know,

38
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: because look I started doing stand uplant wasn't doing the

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: Midwest stuff, and you know, so I can always I

40
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: got other kind of material for whatever situation pops up.

41
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: But one thing you realize is a a lot of

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: the jokes are from a Midwest guy's perspective, so everyone

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: kind of can understand where I'm coming from. But the

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: other thing is Midwest people when they leave the Midwest,

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: you know, they like gather together. Yeah, there's like packers

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: bars in San Diego. There are some Bears bars too, unfortunately,

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: but like I don't know what it is. We go

48
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: away not to meet new people, we go away to

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: find each other again. So that's that's kind of what

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: my shows are in a lot of ways, which it's

51
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: almost like a meetup, like a one of those mobile

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: what do you call it, Like it's like a pop

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: up Packers bars.

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's awesome. I lived out on the

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: East Coast to live down south, and I couldn't find

56
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: a brought anywhere, and people didn't know what I was

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: talking about back in the day. And now you can

58
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: freaking get them like anywhere, you know. So it's but

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: you do feel you feel kind of lost as an

60
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Upper Midwesterner. But then you find out we are. We're

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: like parasites. It just takes a Packers football game and

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: we just invade stadium and we just wait for Charmie

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Barris to show.

64
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: Up, you know, yes, and and all the the you know,

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: all the teams are like, oh no, there's a culture

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: of them right there, you know. And then and then

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: I see that, I see the cheese had this an infection,

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: you know, and we do. We infect the stadiums you

69
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: like when we were playing the Steelers, you know they

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: could hear Goldpack go throughout the whole game. Yeah, that's

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: our deal.

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: And we know here in Minnesota, when everyone's wearing orange,

73
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: we know who's here. I mean it's like they deer

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: hunt here too, but they never wear it to Vikings games.

75
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: But all Green Bay fans, many those orange hats are

76
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: just freaking everywhere, you know.

77
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and you can always tell the real ones

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: because they got just just a few drops of blood

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: on there from either the deer or their finger one

80
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: of them.

81
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Sure, or it's hanging just below their Wisconsin license played

82
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: on a rack outside the US Bank Stadium. Hey, so

83
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: Whiskey old Fashions or Brandy old fashions being a true

84
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Yeah.

85
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: I gotta go with the Brandy old fashions for sure.

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: You know. That's that's kind of been our tried and

87
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: true down here. A lot of people don't like brandy

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: old fashions, but that's okay. You know a lot of

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: people don't like what's good for them.

90
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: So do you have your own brand yet, Charlie?

91
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: Sure do. Actually, it's called Baron's Old Fashioned Brandy. It's

92
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: not named after me though, it's not. That would be egoistical.

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: I named it after my grandpa Bob, and I can't

94
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: help it. We got the same last name.

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: To get it? Is it? Is it good? Like? Is it? Honestly?

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Is it good? Does a big Wisconsin bite to it?

97
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: Does it get you there faster than other old fashions?

98
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: If you know what I mean?

99
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? Everything. I mean it's ninety proof. It's ninety proof. Okay,

100
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: so it's going to light you up like a Polish church. Yeah, yeah,

101
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: there you go. I didn't know he's Polish. Too good

00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: for him, Charlie.

00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,640

Speaker 2: I'm from. Are you how familiar are you with the Milwaukee.

105
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: Area from the weather radar? I know the town's like

106
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: Brookfield and stuff, Waukeshaw, you know.

107
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,479

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: a one for town like New Berlin. It's by Milwaukee,

109
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: you knows, as opposed to kind of like a two

110
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: for town like Delafield. It's it's kind of over by

111
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: oconom Milwauk, which is over by Milwaukee.

112
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,120

00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: Manswok is really nice, you know, I mean Manslock really

114
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: embraced the mantluck minute when I put it out, which

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: you know, they didn't have to, and I thought that

116
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: was really nice. And I've since got to know that

117
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: city and I think it's it's a really, really underbraded town.

118
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that much. I mean Lake Michigan, you know,

Speaker 2: you guys, I gotta tell you, the west coast of

120
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: Lake Michigan is one of the most beautiful places you can.

121
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: You can surf there if you have a couple old

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: fashions on the right day, when the sun hits right,

123
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: it looks like an ocean. You know, you got to

124
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: get over there. We got some good spots.

125
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,839

00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: know you got to go, but State Theater January thirtieth

00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,240

133
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,520

139
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: how we can incorporate that into the mix, because I

140
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,080
