Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the bellied up podcast. Me and Chuck are bellied up here at Spirit View Lakeside in Three Lakes, Wisconsin, Chuck. It's a good day to be alive, Miles. Good thing you're not sitting in front of a green screen today. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a torso. That's a nice little sweatshirt you got there. Thank you very much. Sharp cheddar. Is that a sweatshirt with just

cheese on it? It's Pine River, baby, made with aged natural chad since 1963, cold packed

cheese food. So there you go. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah. I thought it was a drink at first,

but that's cheese. That's cheese right there, Miles. Yep, not's nice. Yeah. I thought it was a drink at first, but that's cheese.

That's cheese right there, Miles.

Yep.

Not a sponsor.

Just what was in clean in the closet or what was in the closet today.

So, Chuck, it took me about eight hours to get here to three lakes a few days ago.

Thanks for making the drive.

And as I was driving, I had a thought where we're going through really small towns, big towns, small towns, medium towns. And I thought, what happens in a small town to where we're like, hey, that's not a small town anymore?

Oh, how do you?

What, what, what needs to, what, uh, it's almost like they lose their small town man

card, you know, like, like, what do they, what stuff that makes small towns lose their

small town card?

Ah, gotcha.

If you can drive through, if it takes more than one breath to drive through the

whole town, you're getting close. Yeah. If you can't, it's kind of like going through a tunnel,

you know, you hold your breath. If you can get through the whole town in one breath,

boom, small town. But it takes two breaths. Then we got to start having a conversation.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.
