Miles knows he's going to be hungover in advance. That's some serious talent.
I mean, Saturdays Saturday
@@leebarbs7176 Fridays @ 4-5pm
@Rip Cord You beat me to it, Rip.
That's the Finnish system
Myles knows that he has a few Busch Lattes on every day with a "y" in it.
What's funny is I actually had that experience with a friend. He got our shift (firemen) of guys (8) to help move. We all showed up and nothing was packed. He was eating breakfast with family. Guys were not happy. What was really funny was his wife knew nothing about us coming. In 3 hours, we got all the furniture loaded into several pick ups and one van. Took to new house and placed in rooms. Wife gave us money for beer and wings at Hooters. Only stipulation was her husband wasn't going. He had to stay back and help her finish up the next 3 days. We offered to come back after things were packed. She said nope, he needs to learn his lesson. We never let him hear the end of that.
That's terrible. She should be ashamed of herself for doing that to her husband, in front of his colleagues no less! Spouses are supposed to support each other, even when they screw up, laaady!
@@TonyM132 grow up dork, dude acted like an ass and should be treated as such. It’s not like his coworkers didn’t know what was up, so why lie to them
@@TonyM132the husband thought he could just delegate his responsibility to his colleagues for free. The lesson is to not be such a lazy asshole, and he gets no reward for none of the work; never mind the fact that he never told his wife that a bunch of guys would be showing up so early, and if you’ve ever lived with a woman in your life you’ll know that’s a No Bueno move right there
@@KyleHarrisonRedacted Oh I've lived with a woman, but thankfully she's a good woman who would never treat me like that, especially not in front of other people, regardless of what mistake I made!
Sadly, this might be normal in most English speaking countries.
I'm from Canada.
We were supposed to load up a moving truck in the morning in about 2 hours, and we were packed up quite a bit, but we had so much clutter to work on still. We ended up finishing packing after about 12 hours.
It was a weird situation, too, because both owners bought each other's home, and the new owners were already tearing up old carpet and eating pizza for supper while we were still packing.
It felt like such a nightmare.
"Then I invited her to Walleye Weekend." Dude, Walleye Weekend would have split up Romeo and Juliet.
Hmm, fairly certain they died
@@spicynugget375 yep, she faked her death to get out of Walleye Weekend
What is walleye weekend like? Is there a lot of nice single guys? If so when and where is the next one?
I personally would not go to Walleye Weekend looking for a guy. It’s in Fond du Lac, WI every June. Usually the 2nd weekend. It’s a lot of fun, just not a place to find a guy.
@@35mayocynthia Looking for love at a fishing festival? Damn, that's some Sahara-level thirst.
You forgot the phase where you just start throwing or giving everything away. Procrastination phase - spot on! 🤣
I moved last year and I hit that phase hard. Once I got into the new house, I had infinite regret on the shit I gave away. Literally gave away my smoker grill and those big ass metal storage shelves from Home Depot. 😂
We unexpectedly sold our house pretty quickly and had to pack fast. I came home from work one day to find out my husband had given away our beautiful sectional sofa to the neighbor. Reason: "It won't fit in the moving truck with all the other stuff and I'm not getting another truck!" LOL The stress is real!
As a teenager, we became very broke very fast and ended up moving a lot of times. Since then, I basically get rid of half my stuff every time I move. That's also a side effect of coming from a family of hoarders.
This is so acurate it's scary. My parents have been divorced almost 40 years and I have helped them both move. Mom never remaried and moved a few times in the 80's/90's. She did it in stages, had everything organized and the "big day" was more like 2 hrs. of moving and then eating and drinkng with freinds and family the rest of the day. I mean that lady had her shit together. IT WAS ALMOST ENJOYABLE!
Dad and his wife:
This video.
Twice.
Never again.
Well, now we know at least one of the reasons they broke up.
"Can't believe Taylor's gonna have a 4th kid!" Absolutely love it
Dude Dad! Love it!
@@TexasbyStorm If you know, you know. XD
“The Clueless Friend” 😂😂😂
I can't believe it either. That's a crazy amount of work. 😳
@@VioletJoy1000% worth it!!
"That's not going anywhere" followed immediately by it sliding down. Most underrated joke IMO
I went through a phase in life where I was moving every 2 years or so. It made me a minimalist. I'm not even into getting Christmas or birthday presents anymore, because all I can think is, "Oh G-d, more stuff!"
I've made an agreement with my family to do Cash only holidays and birthdays, I don't need more set arounds XD
I feel that
We realized after a few years that giving each other cash is dumb, too. Last year we have each of my husband's brothers cards for the same rib place and told them we want more time together. Other times we've donated $$.
I've moved every year for the last 5 years and only this time has it really hit me that I need to downsize. I've always known, but the new place is much smaller and I genuinely have too much excess to make the room work. Honestly very excited to get rid of the excess!!!!
My husband and I have an interesting and effective method of cleaning...we get a dumpster (the BIG ones) at least every couple of years. If we haven't used it in like a year or more, it GOES!! It makes you think twice about buying some ridiculous thing. You don't want to have to work your whole life because you're broke from all the stupid little chochkies you bought all your life. I know people with houses FULL of the things...those dusty little things that cost $1 to make, but YOU paid $20 for.
Hint:. Your family WON'T treasure them as you do .. they'll be in a dump within a month of you going to your reward...also you apparently CAN'T take those things with you either.
You never realize how much shit you have until it's time to move. Then the freightrain of anxiety and panic hits.
everything i own fits in the be of my truck
Nothing packed on moving day hit me right in the anxiety 😅
We've been the friend walking in to that mess, pretty sure our face looked just as incredulous.
@@nikkikinney1899 That's the "i know the expression on my face is so bad I have to put my hands over it" scenario 😆
I've been that friend once.... Said, naah fuck it I help ya. It was a nightmare... Few years later same buddy needed to move again. I said some prayers, but they didn't helped.... sry buddy can you excuse me for a moment? Grabbed some beers for ME at the local store and watched him and his freaking out girlfriend packing all shit together 😂 it was wonderful
@@satanmitdengeilenbarthaaren Nice of you to help him... Satan 😆
@@marksickmiller 😊 ohh I helped lol, but not in a way my buddy and his fucking dirty bitch wanted to, he he. After an an hour and 3 beers I helped em, but not until garbage and some little filthy mess I didn't wanna touch was cleaned.... I'm very glad he dunked her 3 month later, she was a little abusive.
As a mover that does all of that for a living, it hit me in all the wrong ways 😂😂 spot on video
Me too lol. Can you believe the people that hasn't packed or prepared shit when you arrive, has the nerve to complain about the time it takes.
what percent of people have almost nothing ready to move and what do you do with those people? I pretty much refuse to help people move these days because it seemed no one could be ACTUALLY ready on move out day.
@@Mrcaffinebean I used to do moving and it would depend on my schedule for the day, if we were tight I'd say we've got x amount of time want us to focus on the heavy stuff? If we had all day we'll happily pack boxes for $50/hr per person
@@nk-dw2hm bless you're soul I have not the patience for that job.
@@KarlMySuitcase Military moved me once. I had everything prepacked. The movers came in and unpacked and re-packed everything.
When he shoved a coffee mug into a cereal box: That was a moment in which I recognized myself. Even packing for a long trip can be silly like that; at some point, you just run out of time and start making less sensible decisions.
I’ve moved 30 times in 67 yrs. Cross-town to cross-country. I have moved (at least) twice in snowstorms, once in a torrential rain.
This is why:
1. I’m a minimalist;
2. My best advice: purge purge purge;
3. Do not procrastinate. At all.
Why move so much?
4. Don't move so much
@@IAmGeeeWiz most of the time it can’t be helped.
@@carlindurfee7566 lots of reasons. Moved cross-country to save my sanity (after a near-nervous breakdown, I moved to the one city I felt at home in when I visited years before). I moved four times in one year getting away from an abusive relationship (I was young). Moved cross-country to care for an elderly relative. Moved a lot when I was a kid….
Moving in a snow storm : real estate is cheaper in winter :)
Growing up this way is what made me into the start packing a month before person that I am. Last moving day came and the professional movers were even impressed...everything was at the new place in 45minutes...only 15 minutes for them to load up the truck! I am also a master unpacker and have the entire place together (sans things that need buying) by that evening. I always make sure I have wifi and furniture that I know I want arriving and in place 2 hours after I've moved everything to the new house. I had all the praise from my friends in the last move. It's how I deal with the trauma of my parents coming upstairs on moving day and saying "throw your clothes in plastic bags...throw everything into plastic bags!" and then living out of boxes and bags and air mattresses for weeks.
Christ, well it’s good that you’ve learned from those experiences.
Wow! I've also learned to pack well in advance and unpack immediately, but that's from own mistakes.
I had very similar experiences as well.
It has simply manifested itself into me owning so little I can move anywhere and at anytime in less than a hour and it will all fit in the back seat and trunk of my car.
I've just reframed it into minimalism... lol.
I'm moving in a week. Help me!
@@themoonandstars8868 _yeah no, sorry I'm gonna be drunk next week_ 🤣lol
PIVOT!!! PIVOOOTTTTT!! 🤣 Ah, memories of Friends. One of the best scenes ever.
I've moved a lot so I pretty much have it down to an art form, boxes fully packed and labelled days in advance... I usually spend more time sweeping, mopping, and washing out cupboards on moving day than actually moving. I was absolutely shocked the first time I helped a friend move and it was pretty much exactly like this!
One of my more recent moves my roommate and I were headed to different living places.
I spent three weeks weeding out things I didn't need (filled two Bagsters!), packing boxes, disassembling furniture, donating things to the Salvation Army (five trips with my car), and cleaning.
-
My roommate waited until two days before she moved to fill a handful of boxes and put the rest in trash bags for her move.
She was not done when her truck rental was scheduled and had WAY too much stuff to fit in her storage unit, since it was mostly full already, leaving the rest to overfill her new living space.
Same! I’ve moved a lot (internationally too). I execute on point and when I saw this, I got serious anxiety 😅😅😅
I even number each box, write its new room and contents outside, and keep an inventory sheet by box number so I’m sure everything arrives.
I have anxiety, that's why moving is beer and chaos.
A few years ago I helped a (now former) friend move…three times. By the third time, since her birthday was coming up, I “gave” her a moving van complete with movers.
What happened to the friendship?
@@carlindurfee7566 I’m an INFJ, so I only ever had a few anyway. My friend across the country says there are two types of friendships: friends of proximity, and real friends. I’ve been friends with her for almost forty years. I have a dear friend in NZ, who I met over twenty years ago. Besides, with the Internet, it’s easier to keep friendships going.
I can’t help myself. Every time I watch one of Charlie’s videos I spiral out of control & end up watching hours of his content. This man is a legend!
the two essential parts of moving is getting buzzed beforehand and hiring movers 🤣
Lol also known as the "I'm over 30 and I'd rather take the hit to my wallet than my body" 😂
@@chrish4439 I didn’t figure this out till I was 35 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😂💐
I mean, if you throw enough money at basically any problem it goes away eventually
Oh god, I’ve just got an offer today to buy my house that I’ve lived in for 30+years. Now I have 45 days to move all this crap. This video is like an omen.
Have a big yard sale and burn what didn’t sell
@@katg5369 Basically how I rolled out of my last apartment. Also, multiple trips to thrift stores... Bon voyage! X3
Be ruthless on weeding out the things you don't need anymore. I have craft supplies that haven't seen the light of day from three moves ago.
I’m a retired geezer and plan on hitting the local weekly farmers market / flea market. Bin by bin I’ll spread my wares and chum up the old ladies, relax, maybe make some beer money, and in about 10 years be clutter free,😄😄😄
I had a friend who procrastinated until 5 days before buyers were moving into her house .. 60 years worth of stuff packed into 150 boxes besides furniture and regular household items and clothes etc still to be packed .. I told her she should get rid of a lot of it - was basically crap .. that was a few years ago .. the boxes are still sitting in her 1 car garage so she has to park her car outside all year long and yes she lives in Wisconsin !
Last time I ever help that gal move ..
The last part of moving day is the best..... It's the part where 1 month after moving day you still have all your shit in boxes and nothing has been unpacked.
If you hit the three-month mark with boxes still unpacked, then everything that is not seasonal or holiday decor is stuff you didn't need.
Shed that from your life, through yard sales, online listings, donations, or a dumpster (as appropriate to each item's value and your concern about monetary value).
@@MonkeyJedi99 Never said the stuff doesn’t get used, I just use the boxes as new storage units.
@@CrypticCobra Yeah.
I used to have a rented storage unit. Then I realized that over half of what I was paying to store was stuff I had not used in years, had no plans to use, and in some cases had NEVER used in the whole time I owned those things.
I spent a summer making a trip each weekend to the storage unit, filling my car first with the junk to throw away, then the stuff I donated.
By the time I was done, the unit was half empty. Then I started selling stuff...
Try 4 years after moving!🤦🏻♀️ Have major health problems & no one to help me. One day/box at a time.
So funny, I bought a house & my couch wouldn`t fit through the door, I had to pay a guy to remove a window. When I moved out we discovered my move in guys were either too stupid or too lazy to figure it out. It went through the door going out. Gotta love moving...
Yeah no, don't blame the move-in guys. Ya just had one o' them dere one-way sphincter doors is all.
@@ztoob8898 haha, perhaps
Would highly recommend having a bunch of brothers because they all have trucks and are forced to be nice to you. Instant movers!
Loved the couch segment. Helped my daughter move into a 4th floor walk up in NY. The couch wouldn’t fit up the stairs. I was supervising the move while my daughter was working and the movers just sawed the couch apart , then put it back together after it was in the apartment. Not for the faint hearted.
Omgosh, my son and I are literally in the middle of moving ... a week to go, and yard sale this weekend😂! Our house looks like a hurricane hit inside ..... Love the cheese-it box and "oh! my old phone, there's some juice in it ...", yep we are livin' the chaos too! Yer vid turned my overwhelm tude, into a laughing one, thank you!
I'm no longer allowed to help people move after my previous venture resulted in me screaming "DOES THIS REALLY HAVE ANY EMOTIONAL VALUE" whilst holding up a box of fruit loops to my friend
I'm in the process of moving, pretty accurate, especially the 2 men & a truck!
My sister is a total procrastinator. Before she bought her house and was renting places, she would Pay rent at one place that she was moving into but still pay rent for the place that she was moving out for an extra month so that she had an entire month to move all her stuff from one place to another and organize it. I’ve always moved everything in one day. Seems like a waste of extra rent money just cuz you’re lazy… but that’s what she did.
Lol. Love the "pivot" at the end. Classic.
Best thing to yell when moving a couch up or down the stairs. 🤣🤙🍻
How about moving Thanksgiving weekend, 1999, after a preemie birth, 28 weeks via c-section? Nothing packed . I got discharged the day of the move. Got to sit in a recliner and direct the operation. Thank God for friends and family! That 2 lb. 5 oz. baby just graduated from college with honors.
I had a Preemie as well. She is now a Trucker. 😁
My 28 week-er was a big guy. 5 lbs and no incubator needed. He went home with me.
Congrats on raising a hard working kid!
Having a mental breakdown because of your ex when you move is a must
You hit the nail on the head with this one!
“I can’t believe Taylor is gonna have a 4th kid!!” Nice Dude Dad reference 😂
Hate... hate....HATE moving!! But yep..thats pretty accurate. Last minute boxes, bags, and throwing the contents of the closet in the car...hangers and all.
Watching Charlie after the new Dahmer mini series on Netflix and seeing him have a 50 gallon tub lying around definitely hits different...
Not our Charlie. He’s a good boy and from Wisconsin.
God every time!!! Also god bless all the Joes who have helped me through moving! Real MVPs.
I’m glad it’s not just me. So accurate!
As the friend with the truck yes, yes this is completely accurate! Lol
I really appreciate the couch tipping after you said “that ain’t goin anywhere” legendary.
I needed this video. I am packing for a move while watching this
Procrastination!
The part we're the friend shows up and nothing is ready is too real.
I am always that friend who shows up and then nothing is as it was promised
I packed up everything and ordered special boxes for the kitchen and hired moves without informing my husband since he complains about stranger touching our stuff, then I simply explain they are already paid for and you can't lift a couch or dresser by yourself and my damage wrist means I might drop them and hurt us both.
We just moved and this is so spot on!!
This is way too relatable. Also, the Friends reference was great.
Just found your channel in the last few days. I found myself binge watching the videos. So I subscribed, now I keep watching one after another...so funny...I share them with family members. I tell myself "I will just watch a couple, they are short, then lights out...I promise ". I haven't gotten to sleep before midnight in 3 days...."just one more, oh that's so funny, just one more". Lol. I am hooked. Thank you for the laughter.
Good to know that ratives getting too sentimental over stuff while you're doing your best to actually get the job done is universal.
I love you're videos Charlie and Michigan is the TRUE mitten state
... IF u guys were to relinquish the UP to us, then yes, u would be.
FLAWLESS VICTORY 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
15 years ago a work friend asked, "Hey Mark, you think you could swing by my house later and move a couch...," he paused long enough for me to think it was a couch going from upstairs to downstairs, I said "sure." Then he said, "...to St Paul?" 30 min drive each way. Plus delivering it. Only because I had a truck. I think he bought me McDonald's for lunch the next day. He said, "you can have anything on the menu."
Some people will put a sign on their truck " not for hire"
You forgot the montage of all the times you say “I gotta start packing soon” for 3 months.
Perfect timing! Im moving right when you posted this
From Minneapolis MN but originally lived in superior Wisconsin love your videos man
This is why when you have the truck, you say sure I’ll help but it’ll be $50 an hour
I love it when you have John in your Vids....
I have definitely showed up at friends' houses on moving day to discover nothing is in boxes. You better be springing for some seriously good beer and pizza after putting me through that crap.
Okay I laughed so hard at the friend showing up and nothing is packed 😂 that was literally me like 3 weeks ago.
Totally hiring movers next time. Last time we fed all of our friends as a thank you… I think $50 more would have paid for movers… plus people aren’t 20 anymore!
I dunno what EatStreet is, but I appreciate an unobtrusive ad placement when I see one.
OH MAN! Yeah! That's what really halts my moving/clearing out process...Finding bits of sentimentality.
Speaking as someone who still hasn't unpacked from a move a year ago....valid!
🤣🤣🤣 omg getting the eatstreet guy to help was hilarious
I'm movin right now. Just what I needed!
It's true, you cannot go through your old drawers and bins without reliving half of what you find in them.
Yep pretty much the same here in Germany. I like to help with movings, but make sure to provide some decent food, snacks right from the start and some warm meal at the end. And make fucking sure everything is packed, cannot stand when the guys that are moving don't carry a single box cause they're still busy filling these. And last but not least, return the pleasure on day.
That leinenkugel cooler is probably the most Midwest thing I've ever seen. The only thing that would make it more Midwest is if he won it in a meat raffle.
and that's international too. greetz from finland
Moved into my first apartment a year ago and this video just made me laugh hysterically and I love dude dad reference
As someone that is currently moving today, this literally is too true. Btw anyone gotta truck to move some couches lol.
I live in a college town- this happens every spring and fall like clockwork.
2:57 "Pivot!"
Love the FRIENDS reference, haha.
I'm the guy who's always talking about my friends with their unnecessary pick up trucks until it's time to move 😅😂
See, my strategy for moving is being like "well.... I guess my current place ain't so bad"
I LOL'd for real @ "Ice-fishing trip?! It's summer!!"
If you own a truck, you are legally obligated to help at least one person move something every year. And they always promise to pay for gas, but it never happens. 😔
This is only true in your 20's. Once you hit 30 you only have to offer to drive your truck and aren't obligated to move anything. Also if my friends ever didn't pay gas and provide pizza and beer then the truck wouldn't leave their driveway lmao
If they aren't paying for gas, pizza, and beer they do not deserve your truck!
@@MsKassandraKotaku Amen Kimberly! No one should "move" for free. 🍻🍕⛽️
Not anymore. I offer them a $50 contribution toward them hiring movers. Then I hide my truck keys.
When it was my truck I was stuck there all day while other friends flit in for 2 hours then leave. And I always pulled a muscle moving heavy furniture with someone who was weak and uncoordinated.
You need better friends. I've helped a few people move, but they've rewarded me well.
Then again, my truck looks like it went through a war zone, so they know they'd better take care of me or their stuff is toast! X3
"An ice fishing trip? It's summer!" "You can't be too hungover to help, I'm moving next Saturday." LOL ... spot on!!!
Appreciated the friends reference ein the end - cherry on top
Taylor is gonna have a 4th kid lmao love it! Taylor and Heidi are awesome 🤣
Wasn't going to say anything, although I have a really good story....BUT that PIVOT comment cracked me up bigtime!! EVERY situation we are in...moving things...someone always has to hollar PIVOT!!
Moving pjs, lol. Gee, what a great pack job that was! I loved the delivery guy waving his arm like an airport worker and the friend's face at the thought of pb and duck egg sandwich.🙌🤣
I thought the bayg of baygs was just us! 😂
Being from Chicago, really dig your skits...even the Bears jokes (not like it's been hard making fun of da Bears since 2006). My wife is from East Tennessee and told her to check your stuff out to gain some insight on Midwest people including her in-laws. Last time I moved, I asked my brother if he could help and the response I got was, "go Bears!". When he didn't show up on moving day I asked where he was and the response I got was, "I said go Bears".
Would love to see your take on urban vs rural Midwest people. For example, it's amazing how different Chicago folks are compared to people from the rest of Illinois!
We left Illinois 7 years ago because Chicago basically outnumbers the rural folks in the state. It's like two different worlds.
Love the shout outs to Dude Dad & Miles. Also Hulk Hogan voice was great (brother)!
This brought back some serious PTSD for me. 😣
You should have included in the beginning boxes you never unpacked from your previous move being packed into bigger boxes
The "Pivot" with the couch part is frikkin iconic 😂😂😂😂
Did I just get tricked into watching an 'EatStreet' commercial? It doesn't even operate in my country...
I moved to a new apartment on the 22nd of October last month, and I can tell that this's very accurate
"Claire, come baack"
Heartbreaking
I was moving into a place with three guys who were living together already but it was a new place. I showed up to help them move and it was like nobody knew they were moving that day. The fridge was still loaded and the sink was full of dishes. Not a thing in a box. I just helped them move the furniture and skipped the rest. If I didn't show up with my truck and trailer they never would have made it. And it was snowing haha.
Using Hulk Hogan’s voice to call someone “Brother” is a class act. 10/10
Yeah my brother did that to me. Barely anything was packed. I'm upstairs in his attic in 90 degree heat boxing his stuff up and I look out the window to see him hanging out with his buddies in the backyard.
"Dude, you're getting a Dell." Thanks for that bit of nostalgia 😂
Painfully accurate
@:44 if he said 1 man 2 trucks I would’ve died!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
The cardboard box list..love it lmao
Nice “Pivot” hat tip to Ross from Friends!
The bag of bags!
Last time we moved was a 3 month project including painting, plumbing, cleaning, replacing a ceiling fan...
Such a wisconsin house, just watching feels like I'm back home.
This video made my eye twitch lol. I'm very organized and yet my last move looked a lot like this!!!!
