Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:27):
From the underground bunker at Area fifty one, now known
as the DJC Collectible Studio. I'm Midwest professional wrestling legend,
Gauge octane and now a guy who has more conspiracies
than Jesse Ventura. Kyle Peterson, Welcome every one.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Kyle here back again with episode number ten.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes, episode number ten of The Kyle Peterson Show, and
as usual, got my beautiful co host Angie. Angie say hello,
I haven't retired, yeest, she hasn't retired. She's thinking about
it in our family, I guess my dad retires Andrew retires. No,
Angie hasn't retired yet. My dad fully retired. But we
need to get I was thinking we need to get

(01:07):
my dad on here, since he refuses to be a guest.
I'll just call him on the phone and I'll just
talk to me on the phone. That's a way to go.
So one of these days we'll have a question for
my dad and we'll reach out via phone call. I
guess what we'll have to do, well, audio force them
on here, Force them on audio conference them in is
what we're doing. So maybe we'll do that. But it
is episode number ten. Can you believe in Angie, we

(01:28):
made it to ten episodes, did world Pros Old Pros?
At this point on the road to one hundred? Can
we make it? We'll see what ends up happening there.
But of course, Angie, we got to thank a sponsor
of this podcast. It is DJC Collectibles. Use discount code
eight off DJC to save eight percent off your entire order,
and thank you to them for sponsoring this podcast. And

(01:51):
if you want to sponsor the podcast, hit me up
and Angie, yeah, we'll let you The Kyle Peterson Show
at gmail dot com. So there's a little how keeping
right there, I should say too. I don't know if
you guys have heard about this. It's a brand new book, Angie.
And you know why I gotta plug it, right? Why
do I gotta plug it? Because no one else will,
So somebody's got to step up and do it. But

(02:12):
Jeff Manelia, who won this book last week in our giveaway,
he plugged it on his show. So people are plugging it,
I guess out there, but very few. So I got
to take the reins, of course, as the author of
the book. Of Course, a beautiful book, as we all do.
No Forward by Brian Myers of course it is the
complete Guy to the East w original services, but toy
makers available at Amazon, Pardian, Noble or va me. I

(02:33):
can autograph it if you want. It does come with
a book mark and Kyle Pearson show sticker as well,
and even Angie'll sign it. And Angie signed a book
this week, didn't she. She signed it with love first. Yeah,
mine's chicken scratch. I don't know. I can't write very well,
but that is the book, of course. So a lot

(02:54):
going on as usual and Angie. It's last week was
our Memorial Day episode, and of course that's usually the
kickoff of summer. But it feels like we're really about
to kick off of summer around here because the kids
are out of school as we're filming this. Tomorrow is
the last day of school, so I can imagine it'll
be all nighters of K pop dance parties all summer long.

(03:15):
The kids will wake up around eleven or twelve or so.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
They got a plan to get fit, Yeah, they got
a workout plan. Really, they got a list of shows. Really,
and they're going to become volleyball are they?

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Are they? This is all news to me.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
This is breaking the folleyball out last night and we
were like, they.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Were watching they were watching some Korean anime show and
the kids were playing volleyball, and they positive, of course,
they went outside and played volleyball for about four minutes
and then came back in and finished their show. But
they got their urge for some volleyball apparently. I said, what,
they're outside, I can't believe that. It's wild. If you

(03:53):
guys remember last week's story where I talked about my
buddy and I going to get the Turbo graphics sixteen
at the going to the far more, basically walking miles
and miles away from home. It was crazy. I did
the math this week and when I did do that,
I was nine years old. Nine years old, no cell phones,
know nothing. I can't even imagine Ell, who just recently

(04:14):
turned fourteen, leaving the house by herself.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
We're actually just in that route and kind of ran
the route and we were like, wow, it it.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Is a long route, and like your parents didn't care.
They could care less they're at work at summertime or whatever,
but just crazy enough to get up at eight am
and walk. I mean it was at least a two
hour walk to the mall to get to the mall
get the turbographic sixteen carrying around the suitcase all this stuff,
then walking even farther away to this far more to
buy basketball cards and stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
You messed up too. You should have gone far more
first then the mill.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't know who knows you had the system.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
You had to walk all the way to the farmer
and then back.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
But just thinking of all that, and I was a
year younger than our youngest daughter, Emma, and I cannot
imagine her even contemplating having a chance to do that.
She could never figure that out. It just absolutely wild.
And it really proves the point that nine year old
Kyle smarter than modern day kids, but probably smarter than
Martyn day high schoolers.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
At this point we all were.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
But just wild. And then just you know, parading around
them all and waving all this cash and having a
pocket fell of cash. Just a wild time for sure,
last week on that. But we'll see what happens to
these kids this summer. In great news for me, of course,
a pizza connoisseur. One of these days we'll do a
deeper dive about pizza. Maybe on the channel. Is some
circles I am known as the Iowa pizza king, so

(05:29):
shout out right there. But there is a pizza restaurant
that just opened around the corner from us, within walking distance.
What would you say, good? Ten minute walk, yeah, fifteen
minute walk tops, depending how fast you are depends if
you cut through too. It's over by the park. But
there was a subway that closed now, and I'll pour
one out for subway. I guess you know. They just
we're eating fresh enough over there. Apparently still the fallout

(05:52):
from the Jared Fulgold debate and all that. I bet,
I'm sure that's what happened. But the new pizza place
opened up in there, and it used to be a
place where you'd only order online, you pick up your order.
It was really crazy. Well, now they have seating in there.
It's gonna be a traditional pizza place. But at lunch
time they have five dollars slices. You get a drink
and a big old slice. That's like every kid's a dream.

(06:13):
If I was nine years old, I'd be walking up
there every single day. I'd be collecting popcns trying to
find money to go purchase this. But I told the kids,
that's a perfect thing for you guys to do. You
walk up to the park, you play, you go get
a slice of pizza. We'll see if they can conquer
that challenge this summer. But man, these kids are soft
these days. Oh could you drive me there? Could you pay?
Could you order my pizza for me? It's like, come on,

(06:35):
take some initiatives. So we'll see what happens this summer.
It's gonna be the summer of initiatives. And now that
Ell you know, she's ready to get a permit, so
she gotta get to permit this summer too, so we'll
see what happens. We're gonna be all great the time,
so we'll see how it all goes there. But besides that,
you know, the kickoff the summer, of course, filming this
des moin Con is this weekend. So I'm going to
the des moin Comic Con, just like Sandio Comic Con,

(06:57):
but a little bit different. Des moin Con is this week.
I will be a part of an action figure panel there,
So maybe we'll try to get some recordings or some
video of that on the channel or on here or
something like that, and probably do a toy hunt video
at D one Coon they usually have some toy vendors,
so we'll see what's happening over there. But besides that,
there's really nothing going on. Of course, it was a
very busy week last week, the Memorial Day for me

(07:19):
and my day job, one of the busiest weeks of
the year. Now get a little bit of a lull,
but I got some big, big meetings coming up this
week and next week, and then we're going to Tosh
Daniel Tosh stand Up. We're going to that in June
as well, so we'll probably have something on of that,
So we'll see what happens with that. Besides that, I
keep saying that there's nothing else going on, Angie, there's
nothing else going on. So Angie's here to get your

(07:40):
lounge wear on. Here is this what do you call
this thing? A romper? Yeah, a romper. She's got a
romper on. It's looking good, looking, extra comfy. Here today
it says lounge and lounge in our way into summer.
It's going to be distress free summer is what it's
going to be. A bit Angie.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Now, with that fourteen year old driving.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
That's true. It's not drawing by her. She should be
with it. I got to see it. She steals my
company car she's not allowed to drive the company car.
No way, not allowed to do that. But anyways, Angie,
now it's time. It's time for a deeper dive. All right,

(08:22):
It's time for a deeper dive where we dive into question,
a segment something and go a little bit deeper. And
as we know, Angie always loves a little deeper. She says,
get a little deeper for me. That's what she always says, right, Angie, Yep,
she wants a little deeper dive. And Angie, your luck
here today? Is it something you're somewhat familiar with a
time or two in your life you've been forced out
on the hunt today we're talking about toy hunting. You're

(08:45):
familiar with toy hunting. But I do get a lot
of questions on my YouTube channel, emails, whatever social media
about I get a lot of questions, Kyle, how do
you know when the stores you're going to have stuff?
How do you know what stores have what day? How
do you know what days they get things in? Well,
I'm gonna give all my secrets away here today. And
these secrets were harnessed over decades of action figure hunting,

(09:07):
going back to my childhood with my dad, of course,
the og toy hunter back in the day, him and
I tracking down all the starting lineups way back when
in a monthst of other things, wrestling figures, Marvel figures,
you name it. But it's all about a game of patterns.
And I'm gonna give all the secrets to toy hunting success.
And as we always say, your mileage may vary on these,

(09:27):
of course, but here's my biggest secret in toy hunting.
And the secret's gonna be out here. It's gonna be
out everybody's gonna have this. It's no longer going to
be a secret. But sometimes you know, it's like the
magician that shares his secrets, or that one pro wrestling
exposed show back in the day on like Fox where
they told all the magic. Well, I'm gonna tell the
magic right here today. And toy hunting is a game

(09:50):
of knowing the patterns. First off, you've got to figure
out those patterns. How do you figure out the pattern? Well,
maybe you've got a Walmart and a target that are
fairly close to you. That's what I have. I have
one basically the target's walking distance and the Walmart's not
too far away, and you can confirm this. Of course,
you've been to both them on multiple occasions, and JI
feel free to give any advice along the way if

(10:11):
you want to. But it's all about a game of
finding out the patterns. Now, what you need to do
if you're a new toy hunter, and maybe you already
know this, maybe you're a seasoned professional at this point,
but you got to figure out the pattern of your store.
And the best way to do that is you go
to your store every single day. If you've got a
Walmart by your house, you got a Target by your house,
you go every single day to that store. You also

(10:33):
go about the same time, so if you get off
work at five o'clock, maybe you go at five thirty
every single day. Now, after about two weeks or so,
maybe three weeks, you can usually find out a pattern.
You'll say, Okay, it looks like the toys come in
every single Monday. That's what my Walmart is. Every single Monday,
their toys get stocked and filled. So I always know
Monday is a primo day to hit the stores to

(10:55):
see if there is anything new. Obviously, depending I guess
I'll get to it a little bit. You find out
that pattern that Monday is every day now. The one
issue that I saw with COVID and I think we've
seen this. I know in my day to day work
life and obviously Walmart target everybody else's work life is
kamakazi employees. It is tough to get employees. There's a

(11:15):
lot of employee change over out there. And you've seen
this out of retail. There's a lot of comings and goings,
and there's always a lot of comings and not so
many goings with you as well. There's a lot going
on at retail. So the old days be able to
find the pattern a lot harder than it used to
be because guess what, Joe Bob called in sick on Monday.
So now the palette got ran on Tuesday. But for

(11:36):
the most part is play along. It is finding out
the patterns there and that's what I've done select my Walmart.
I know on Mondays. One a good pattern, an easy
one to find out is Neka. That's one thing. So
you look at your toy asle, you look at your
traditional aisle, go to target at Neka. Traditionally there's a
NECA representative they pay that comes and fills the stuff.
By finding those patterns, you can say, ah, every Wednesday

(11:58):
is when the Neca person comes about five targets around me.
I know the days the Neka person comes to those stores,
so I know the patterns. I know when to go
to try to find these new figures, be it from Neka,
be it from Walmart or Target. So pattern, pattern, pattern,
I can't stress it enough. Obviously you can ask an
employee what day do you usually fill the toys? But
I think we know what happens when you ask that

(12:19):
employee there, what what's the toy? What are you talking about?
What toys are we talking about? You know, it's just
one of those run around things. But knowing your patterns
is so key. It's so key in life. It's knowing.
It's like your multipication tables. You got to know the
patterns of nine, the patterns of seven, You've got to
learn all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Was it Thursday's the Target restocks the Pokemon cards?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Wednesday? I think night we were at Target. I think
it was Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I don't collect Pokemon. That's more your speed, of course.
The line, Yeah, and there's always a line all the
way around the corner, people waiting to get these cards,
and I'm like, look at these nerds. Hey, Angie, where's
the X Men figures? That's what I said. But long
line for those cards. But those people, they know the patterns,
they know what time to comempany that fills the cards
is coming in, so they're already taking the advice without

(13:03):
knowing it. They're probably watching this shit. Just forget about it.
I just forget about it. Just forget about it. And
the nice thing is, you know, when you're knowing what
stores fill the shelves on each day, you can make
your trips around. Okay, I'm gonna go to this Walmart
on this day, this Walmart this day, or maybe they
all fill in the same day. Now it is tough. Now,
I leaven live in a city here with like nine

(13:24):
Targets in my area and like fourteen Walmarts in a
very drivable area. So you could be watching this, listening
to this and say, well, I live in a town
with one Walmart. Well you got the hand that you're
dealt a little tougher hand than this.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
My friends, my friends, and Angie perfect segue. Look at her.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I was gonna say, besides that, in toy hunting, it's
nice to have friends out there, local friends that know
what's going on. Now. My best friend over here is Angie.
Angie is in a lot of stores as well. And Angie,
you love going to Starbucks at Target. Of course they
have some of the best Starbucks, is what I've heard.
Inside targets. They just taste better than the standalone ones

(14:01):
because you can get a nice romper too, and they
made with love, especially if they know you, and then
oh they'll give you a little extra squeeze squeeze in
that lemon, in that drink or whatever. But Angie, of course,
in these stores, Hey, Angie, here's a picture. Go look
and see if this is on the shelf. So it's
nice to have a friend there. Of course, local legend
David c Anderson, we're both collecting a lot of the

(14:22):
same stuff, helping each other out. Of course, that old
outlaw Whalon Jennings. We all remember Whalen Jennings. He's a
little bit farther north than me. You got to watch
out up there as well. So you gotta know some
friends that collect around there that can help you out.
And a lot of times maybe they collect hot wheels.
I don't know any hot wheels people. I try not
to a gallivant around with hot wheels. But nothing against you,

(14:42):
but something against you, but nothing against you.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
But the better looking they are, the better.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Is that true?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
If the stuff's in the back, somebody's gonna go get
it for me.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
That is one thing too. Oh she's some good looking
Oh yeah, you just they're flashing you like, just pull
that ron. But you just start unbuttoning in the shirt
a little bit. Yeah, I've seen you do it. I've said, Angie, Okay,
I know this person, and I think a lot of
us guys that action for your collect can relate. They
look at us like the just scum of the earth,
The scum.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Of the earth assume everybody's resellers, like they.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Assume. I think that you're a reseller or you're living
in your parents' basement or something like that. And first off,
I wish I lived in my dad's basement. You should
see my dad's basement. Oh there's a pool table, there's
a big cigar store Indian down there, there's action for
your collections, there's a huge TV.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm just a single mom getting this for her son.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah. So Angie plays it up and they'll help Angie
out all day long, So I always send her I
don't do it because I've had it. And if you're
a guy, you probably understand it as well. Yeah, we
don't have that. Everything's on the phone. Yeah it is.
And Angie just comes in there and she just flashes
a little she puts this down. Yeah, just puts this
down a little bit. And it's like, you know, my
son's Bertha, And I think you don't even say son.

(15:54):
I think you're like, you know, my nephew and you
take the wedding ring off, and my nephew is after
this and they're like, oh ma'am, why don't you come
to the back room and help me search? That's what
goes on.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
But having a friend out there, like David Anderson or
my wife and you of course out there helping along,
it is key to make friends. And like David and I,
we collect a lot of the same stuff, but it's like, hey,
we're gonna find it for each other. And that's a
key to finding it out. So you follow the patterns,
and then of course you get a friend out there, espouse,
the significant other, a mom, a dad, whatever. My dad

(16:25):
out there, he's always on the hunt. My dad loves
to take the physical challenge. He goes out there on
the hunt. These aren't so hard to find. I remember
when major blood was hard to find. You remember the
major Blood days, this play along love that Major Blood
Cobra Island was really hard to find. This can't be
so hard. And the first target he went to, what
do you do? He found a case of those. He said,
I fact, this was supposed to be tough. He goes,

(16:45):
this isn't like rap Fear of nineteen ninety seven that
was that's a hard figure to find. This isn't this
major Blood. I was one and done. I went on
my morning walk at the mall, picked it up and
I was I was good to go and just rubs
it in your face. But he's a legend of the
figure hunting game and a lot of stuff. We found
out patterns from him as my dad and I as
a kid. Every single Friday we knew the truck was
at Toys r Us. We would go right after he

(17:07):
got off work and I was sprinting in there. We
also made friends with the employee because and you said,
there's a lot of resellers, a lot of scuzzy guys
back then in the starting lineup game. Maybe they still are.
I don't know, but they were, you know, big, overweight,
bearded guys. Stereotypical. Yeah, it was just guys that ugh
where the Toys r Us managed our local Toys r Us. Like,

(17:27):
here's a father and his son, two salt of the years. Guys.
Here my dad looking like magnum Pi back in the day,
just looked just like magnum p. I. Yeah, the stash
and everything with my mad And then here's this kid,
like a very attract like all the ladies in there,
they were like in their thirties and stuff, and they're like, man,
this kid's eight years old. But oh boy, that's what
they were like. I am sure, I'm fairly positive.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
But we think your dad looked like Tom Selleg when
I first met him.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, he is. He looks like my dad looked like
a mix of Tom Selleck and Don the Predator Fry
in the eighties. A man's man if there ever was one,
but six foot eight. And of course, thank but it
was knowing that and knowing making friends with that person there,
knowing we were collecting there, and they would tip us off,
they would let us know stuff. Now, I don't think
that happens much anymore because there's no toys or us is.

(18:12):
And I think the majority of Walmart managers target managers
who care less. They're just filling a job. And that's
one thing you got to remember, is this is just
a job for them. The other day they were working
in the auto parts section over there at Walmart. They
got moved to toys today, so you can imagine how
much they care. So it's always wild, but the patterns
is key, Finding a friend is key, and having fun,

(18:32):
having fun, just having fun along the way. But that's
what you got to do. And a lot of people
kama kazi toy hunt and when you do that, you
can get lucky on those Obviously, it's kama kazi. Every
once in a while you crash into that aircraft carrier
with your plane and you destroy everybody. But other times
you get shot down or you go straight into the ocean.
So kama kazi's dangerous. It can work from time to time,

(18:54):
but if you know your patterns, you know your stores,
you can be a lot more successful, which ends up
leading to saving a lot of time and finding what
you really want. The other one, the other one is
I should mention Jay's Toys and Games. A local toy
store around here a lot easier. They're more into it.
That's all they do is action figures and video games
and things like that. They'll let you know, hey, our

(19:15):
new stock comes every single Tuesday, so I know, Tuesday
nights and Fridays. Tuesdays Fridays, that's when they get their
action figure orders in of new stuff. So you know,
I have a relationship with them, so I can kind
of figure that out. So that does help a lot
as well. But if you have a local toy store,
I know not everybody is as fortunate to have three
locations around them like I do, but there is ways
to get yourself a little bit ahead of the game. Now.

(19:37):
One thing I'd watch out for, of course, is the
ebays of the world. You don't want to overpay for stuff,
and if you have a little bit of patience, everything
that was hard will get easy eventually. Obviously there'll be
some things every once in a while that go up
in price, but if you play a little that long game,
you will lay in the weeds a little bit. You'll
save some money there, and hey, I save twenty five
dollars over here, I'm okay. Spending up an extra five.

(19:58):
I'm net twenty, So there is some ways to do that,
as we always do, say gotta get a deal, Angie,
and you know how that goes. So a lot going
on in the action figure game, a lot going on
in the toy hunt. But the word in the week,
like Pee Wee's playhouse, is patterns. And I did make
sure I said it forty five times in this segment.
So I wrote that down and I just crossed it off.

(20:19):
So that means we are done, Angie, with a deeper dive.
Did we go deep enough for you? Are you fulfilled?
Are you fulfilled? You just blew the That's not the
only thing you blew out of the water right here.
So there it is toy hunting. Feel free if you're
watching the video version, put your best examples of toy hunting.

(20:40):
What are your patterns? There you go. But now we Angie,
it's time for the next segment. It's time for Figure
of the week, all right, Angie, It's time for Action

(21:04):
Figure of the week, or maybe statue of the week
this week. But this week, of course, in every single week,
we dive into one figure for my collection and we
give it the honor of the action Figure of the Week,
and one of these weeks we're gonna let Angie do
her show. She's gonna cover all the segments. It's gonna
be amazing, and I'm gonna sit in this chair. It's
gonna be a good time. You think you're up for
my birthday's coming on? Maybe we should do it. Her
birthday is coming up here. And I said, hey, let's

(21:26):
talk about your twenty first birthday. And she said, I
don't remember my twenty She has no memory. I remember
every single detail of my entire life, day by day.
I'm like rain man, I can tell you about every
single day of my life. For Angie's like, I don't know.
Unless it happened in the last couple of months, I
don't remember it. We were talking the other ascid, do
you remember when you had the el? Which one's hell?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
And that? You know?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
You think she remember any of it? No, she doesn't.
But but Angie is here, and Angie're gonna enjoy this one.
I'm I'm sure you are. But it is time for
Figure of the Week. But it's gonna be Statue of
the Week this week. And this does come from the
line called not Bones, And I don't know if anybody's
familiar with that. We'll get into it here. But it
is a beautiful Lemmy kill mister statue, Motorheads Leader, the

(22:08):
iconic Lemmy here in Knucklebones statue format. You know you're
about a seven inch scale statue here with a beautiful,
beautiful base. There's only a thousand of these ever made.
And Angie, what number did in mine? I said, Angie,
I'm gonna tell you something. This is all you got
to remember for the next segment. And she did it.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
You are a numbers.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
She couldn't remember her daughter being born, but she can
remember two fifty two. Let me tell you. But this
Lemmy is absolutely amazing. And the reason I brought this
out is there's been a lot of turmoil in the
Super seven landscape. And Angie, do you know what Super
seven is? You do? What is a toy company? Well?
Good for her, Angie's learning it's all through osmosis, so
she's figuring out some of this stuff here. But Super

(22:49):
seven has made quite a few Lemmy figures, and you
know me, I love them. But there's been some turmoil
at Super seven, with a lot of layoffs and a
lot of changes over there. So I'm a little bit
nervous for the Lemmy future over there. I guess we'll
see what happens without my boy Kyle, of course, And
as Kyle always says, he's right, he always says, I've
never been another Kyle I haven't liked, and I'm in
the same boat with that guy. And I'll see Kyle

(23:09):
at San Diego Comic Con. So he has been the
driving force around a lot of these Lemmies. So I'm
a little nervous about future Lemmy Super seven figures. Going
to keep my fingers crossed for that. But I collect
any and all the things Lemmy that I can get
my hands on. Holds on. We're looking at a lot
in this area, and this Lemmy is an absolute favorite
of mine. Like I said, number two hundred and fifty

(23:30):
two right of a thousand on this and these dudes
shoot up in value pretty good. Check out the Knucklebones
if you like to collect heavy metal statues and things
like that, there's a lot of good stuff. Now. I
did have Slayer at one time in my collection. I
actually sold them. I could not resist what they were
going for. I think they were one hundred and like
fifty dollars each. I think this Lemmy was about one
hundred dollars when it came out. I'm sure it's a

(23:51):
lot more expensive now, but I think the Slayer ones
were actually I think they were all around one hundred
when I bought a bunch of them. And then I'm
selling each of the Slayer ones for like five hundred
dollars each, So I was like, for that kind of money,
I can't turn it away. And I think that was
when Emma was being born and I thought about, I'm
gonna have a lot of diapers to pay for soon,
so I medical bill, medical bills, that kind of stuff.

(24:11):
So a lot of the stuff goes up in value.
Same things I had all the Ronnie James Dio statues.
Those went skuy has it. I'm gonna sell those. So
I do still have some of my collection. I do
have the Judas Priest set there of course, the three
of them, and then I do have all three versions
of Lemmy, so there's three different versions. This of course
later day Lemmy. And it's crazy how many people in

(24:31):
this day and age, this is what they picture when
they think of Lemmy. I guess I can't fault them
for that. But this is cowboy hat Lemmy. I guess
you know western wear LEMI as well a little bit here,
but absolutely phenomenal for these kind of things, and I
wish there would be more of these in the future,
and I wouldn't be shocked if there isn't. But a
very very fun statue. Now, I'm not a huge statue guy.
I know there's some people that collect statues. I'm more

(24:51):
of an action figure person, but I do break the
mold for things like Lemmy, for things like Motorhead, for
things like heavy metal Iron Maiden. Of course. Another big one,
and this one is a crown jewel piece. It is
displayed in my office where I work all day. Every
single day, I look up and I look at Lemmy
the other side, I bop it. I usually kiss my
finger and I give one of those and I just

(25:12):
put them right on there. But an absolute fabulous one.
If you've never checked out the Knucklebones, you might want
to look at They really fly under the radar. There's
not a lot of people that talk about them. I
don't see a whole lot, but there's a lot of
cool stuff over there. And when they're sold out, there
sold out. So make sure you get after it. You
can find some stuff on eBay like anything else. But
this is going to be the statue of the week
this week is the old Lemmy motorhead, one of one thousand,

(25:35):
mine two hundred and fifty two. So there it is.
That's the figure of the week. But now it's time
for Angie to sign to shine. How about to sign
it to Angie to prove us that you can do
sign language. Now it's Angie's time to shine. Angie, it's
time to try new foods because they may taste good.

(25:57):
All right, Angie, it's time for your segment. It's time
for you to shine. And what are you smiling about?
You sign?

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Every time you start, you're so like animated it like yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh yeah, you gotta be HiPE, you know, if you uh,
if you stay hyped, you don't have to get hyped.
That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
And the woman say, a guy commented that his wife
doesn't like your voice.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Oh I was terrible monster of course keeping me in
here today. But yeah, somebody commented that Kyle, I watch
your channel, but my wife hates your voice or something
like that, and I said, well, I hate her voice too,
and I hate her so it startles me. I don't
like your Yeah, that's why you listen to my voice
at a SMR. You can start out. It's the old
radio stuff. I take all that. One of these days

(26:48):
we're gonna do a story time with Kyle. But this
time I should mention in this very episode here we're
telling one of the all time stories. So stay tuned
for that a little bit. But we'll get to that
later here. But it's time for you to shine. It's
time for of course, it's time to try new foods
because it might taste good. And and she's got two things
for us to try this week.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Savory. I'm ready for a sweet.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Ready.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
They keep finding new stuff that's savory.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
You like salty? I know.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
We got some las. We got bacon girled cheese and
these are like a traditional chip. What do you call that?
Therean style fried chicken and the knees are like a ripple.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Okay, Korean style fried chicken. That's an interesting one because
just the other day we went to a Korean restaurant
or what was it. It was like a Korean fried
chicken restaurant. We got the kids to try those out,
and the kids, of course have turned Korean over the
last month or so with all.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
The ca they played K pop on the TV, and over.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
There they were playing k pop in there. They were
just all all in on this place. But Emma was
like a little bit mean to me. She was a
little bit sassy, a little bit rude in there, because
I was like, do you love this k pop? What
is this ban? She's like quiet, quiet, and she was like,
you're gonna She thought I was gonna and the people
there or something by asking like what kind of k
pop is this? And what's playing on the screen? And

(28:05):
then I let her in on the secret that hey,
em I guess what, there's no Koreans here. There's nobody
of Korean descent in this whole restaurant. Not even the
employees are Korean descent. And she's all worked up and
we're gonna offend the Koreans by asking what K pop band?
This is? That guy over there, he's whiter than I am,
so I don't know. I think the guy was albino,
I believe, behind the counter, and the guy behind the counter,

(28:26):
he talks so softly like it was driving me upside,
like this is the guy you don't have at the counter.
Because he was like whispering, and I'm like, what I know.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
I was like, what's the worst popular flavor? And he
was like, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm just work here. It was weird. Yeah,
it was really strange. And then he's like drink. I'm like, yeah, well, okay,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Literally, it's gonna be when she's working.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Terrible, terrible, But Angie, let's start it off. Let's try
this off. Let's see, we're going to Korea. First thing. Well,
we got to Arthur, South Korea.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Look at this. This is like one of the biggest
chips I've seen. They're all big. Look at them.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
You like them big? I know that firsthand.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Wasn't that crazy?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:11):
It must be the small batch day them a little better.
Is it a ruffle or a lays? It's lays the front,
flip the round.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
I didn't know if it was actually I didn't know
if it actually was ruffles though brand it's like a
ruffles like a chip usually put them in chip dip
and stuff. It's a ruffles, ruffles have ridges. Who am
I talking to here? Anybody want to be a co
host barbecue? I don't smell.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Anything smell in the bag though. It smells just like
a barbecue chip.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Gosh, I can't get this. I can't get a smell.
I don't have the best sniffer though. All right, angel,
let's try this guy out.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Like imper.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Where definitely has a taste to it. It's always a positive.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
It's weird at the beginning. It takes totally different than
it does, like a second latter. I don't know what
to think about it. It tastes like a ruffle, so
that's kind of the flavor consistency. It's got a little
spice on the back end, just a hair of a spice,
like some go Jing sauce or something. I always think
it tastes like something, but I can't pinpoint it.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Your palates is not as refined as mine, of course,
you know, a one class away from a minor and chef.
I think is the case. You eat too. I'm gonna
try a second one too.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
You know that Korean like marinade stuff that I put
on the chicken sometimes when I make those little Korean buls, No,
I might just make him for actually.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Of course, poor dad doesn't get food made for you
make a.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Different one, but yeah, they're good. I mean it definitely
has a Korean flavor, it's just not like strong.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, I would eat these. I don't know a problem.
It was chili oil or something on there.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, and it's got a little kick on the back end.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
So where are you going? Out of five.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Two point five?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I'm gonna go three. So I guess I like it
a little bit more. Uh, not overpowering. Definitely worth a try.
I don't know. Not bad now. Bacon grilled cheese flavored
with other natural flavor.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Have you heard that you're supposed to open chips from
the bottoms because they say all the flavor is in
the bottom of the day makes sense?

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Uh? Lay is historically not a favorite of mine. I
like a ruffle.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
They're not kidding. See all that.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Bacon or wherever that cheese? You know what Angel says,
cheese me if you want to please.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Does?

Speaker 3 (31:41):
That's like an overpower It's an overpowery waxy smell and feel.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay mmm, I like THEO. That was really good. This
is like something you would actually eat, like with the
as a side. I don't okay, this tastes like a
cheddar sour cream vibe.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
I don't taste the bacon.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Oh yeah, Yeah, it's a little smoky at the end,
but it kind of makes you feel like it's just
like a smoky cheese.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
It doesn't really do a lot for me on this one.
It does have a little cheese taste, but it's like
a process, not really good.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Really, I like it. I do like five hample, Let
me just do one more just in case.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
How many calories are in these? Got that too? One
hundred and sixty calories.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
But yeah, open it from the bottom Angie's little uh
ship pack.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
You're getting crumbs on my desk here. I don't know.
I don't know on those. I definitely like the Ruffles
Korean one way more. How about you about five?

Speaker 2 (32:48):
My thing with that, it's like it's such a strong taste,
and I don't rarely just snack on chips without having
like that. She wants a good thing, like if I'm
gonna have like a burger or hot dog, and like
I would actually eat these on with it without it
being weird and like throwing off the flavor of the food. Yeah,
I didn't like those were like the Rippley ones though, all.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Right, are you going to have five? Three? Three out
of five? Two three point two. I'm going one point
one point seventy two is what I'm going to go. Now,
I'm going to go, and I'm gonna go. I'm going
to go a high one. A high one. Not that
good on those. I'm not a Las consistency fan. I

(33:31):
mean maybe if you've got some dip or something going on,
I don't know, I don't know, man, not good. But
the Korean one's way better for me, way better for me.
I'm gonna go with.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
It's way more unique.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah, and I'm a unique person. I like unique flavors.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
So that bacon girl cheese just tastes like something you've
had before.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah, it didn't taste that good, but I think there
might be more chips available out of this thing? Is
there like another one?

Speaker 2 (33:50):
What was it? It was like Veneche or something, Valentina something.
It was a really weird name.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
I saw one that was like Dorito's late night Street Taco.
I'd like to try those two. I love a good
late night taco, of course, in a late night slice
of pizza too. Probably not very good for you, but
I'm all in. I'm all in.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
But if you want to tell everybody, so there it is.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Angie we tried new foods because it might taste good,
and now we got to move over to it. We
got a very somber album of the week. All right, Angie,
it's time for Album of the week, but not necessarily
an album this week, more of a tribute of the
week is what we're gonna say. And Angie, as usual,

(34:34):
has no idea where I'm going with this one, but
feel free to chime in. And I did ask Angie
earlier and I said, you want to put some notes
together for the podcast. No, I just like to just
roll with the flow. And that's the easy way to
do it. Angie gets her one job a week to
find a new food and that's that's enough. That's enough,
and she shows up and that's you know. And I
always say, they would say, Kyle, how did you get

(34:54):
where you are? Well, one of the key things is
just showing up, because that's half the bottle right there,
just showing up.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
So a loving wife by yourself.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Exactly exactly, So, Angien. Instead of the album of the week,
it's a tribute this week is a performer passed away
this week. And I don't know if you're aware of
this guy. His name one Rick Deringer. You know Rick Deringer,
I should now I don't know, you'll know the songs
when I talk about him here in a second though,
but Rick Dringer passed away at seventy seven this week.

(35:21):
An unsung hero, and maybe more of a hero to
me and probably the majority of the people checking out
this podcast, as he has known in a lot of
circles as the creator of maybe the greatest wrestling theme
song of all time. Now one of my least favorite
wrestlers of all time, of course, but there's no denying
this theme song. Everybody knows it, everybody loves it, and

(35:41):
I don't care if you like the Haltster or not.
It got you fired up. He is truly a real American.
Rick Deringer was the songwriter of that, saying that song,
you know I'm a real American. Of course, everybody knows that,
and I would say right up there, if not surpassing it.
Another wrestling banger he put out back in the day was,
of course, the theme song to Demolition. You know, Demolition,

(36:02):
Here comes the Acts, here comes the smasher or Demolition
walking to that. You can know I could sing the
setle thing, but Demolition and the Halkster right there alone
in the pantheon of all time greats, right there after
those two songs. But Rick Darriger worked with a ton
of people. He did albums and songs with kiss Alice Cooper.
He wrote a song, his first song he ever wrote
was hang On Sloopy. Okay, we all know that that's

(36:24):
a classic of your dad's radio back in the day.
I'm sure yeah, he wrote that song, of course. And
then Angie, there's a band that I absolutely love there
have since broken up. Unfortunately. It was a band called
Gypsy Hawk. You remember Gypsy Hawk, Eric Harris and the boys.
What are we doing? Let's get that band back together.
If not, let's get Guy GaX going again, because man,
I love Eric Harris. Some boogie metal is what I

(36:45):
always called it. I got that shirt that says boogie
tell you Bart and that's what I try to do
every some day. And in mind, if I eat some
more of those lads, I might be a following the table.
We'll see what happens. But Gypsy Hawk did do a
cover of I would say Rick Driger's most famous song,
and most people would think Rick Deringer's most famous song
is probably the real American song, but his most popular song.

(37:06):
He sang it and also me and gene Oakerland covered
it once upon a time, as did gypsy Hawk. It
is rock and roll Hoochie Coo. We all know that
song too. You love a little Hucci quo the time
of time like that. I love it. I love it.
It's one of my favorite things. Of course, the houchiko,
but rock and roll houchiku is another huge one for him.

(37:26):
So Rick Deringer a guy maybe not everybody knew, but
everybody does know any things. And of course passed away
at seventy seven, unfortunately, and it's just a while to
think of people passing away that way. It's weird because
seventy seven doesn't seem old, and I think it's one
of those things as you get older, it's like seem
old because I'm eighty one years old, gig We figured

(37:46):
that out on my YouTube channel not too recently, that
somebody thought I was eighty one years old, and I'm
just rolling with it. I'm rolling with it and I'm
out kicking the coverage there, and of course it's wild.
I've surpassed my dad in age too, but you know,
it's what happens. Sometimes if you live in there not
but I'm right around there, of course. And remember my
birthday coming up here in a few weeks and Jesus
before mine. But we care about my birthday. I definitely

(38:08):
care about my birthday. That's my one day to be
the special individual in the world I am. I feel
like I have one day a year. It should be
your special day. And don't get me started about my
aunt and uncle getting married on my birthday. I'm still
hot about that. That's my day. That's my day. And
you know I have we have nieces now, of course,
my sister's kids and one was born in June. And

(38:29):
trying to steal my thunder there they said, they said,
we're having a birthday party for June, you know whatever,
the twenty six or something like that, twenty eighth. My
birthday is on the twenty fifth. Did you skip my
birthday party? And all this what is going on and
your own Bartie, I'm still never.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I still think people should plan it for you. Yes,
call for that.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
I should be celebrated on my birthday. It's just one
day where I feel like I should be special. It's
like we're going to take Cayut to the story. He's
going to get something. He's going to get a special lunch.
Maybe it's a Wendy's something, Yes, And then we're gonna
go out to dinner to Kyle's favorite restaurant. We're gonna
open some presents. It's gotta be my day. It's gotta
be my day. But Angie doesn't care about her day
and her day. We're gonna celebrate a little bit next

(39:11):
week on Angie's birthday. So it's coming up very very
quick here, June tenth. Get your cards in the mail,
of course, and Angie will celebrate your birthday and style
next week on the podcast. And maybe we'll try to
figure a story time with Angie if she can remember
one of her happiest birthday moment. We'll see if we
can figure something out like that. But that's it, Angie.
That is the album of the week this week, a

(39:32):
very somber album of the week. But we're gonna rise
to the occasion. We're gonna rise up like a young
Paul Stanley in the eighties from this as it is time.
I have said I'm going to tell this story one day.
I've been threatening it for five years. It's a dangerous story.
But it's time for tales for retail. All right, Angie,

(39:58):
it's time. It's time for tail from retail. Wherehere I
lament some stories of yesteryear, of my years in retail,
and we've had a lot of all timers here. This
could be the all timer video. Angie might want to
settle in a blanket. Feel free to take your dress
off if you want to get extra cozy. Work here
for it. She's all in there. Oh, she's ready to go.

(40:19):
But this is a story I've threatened to tell for
about five years, and the real ones and I actually
had somebody say when are you going to tell that story?
Just recently, and I figured a special episode where at
episode number ten of the podcast, I am going to
tell this story here. Now, I'm going to try to
dance around as best I can. I don't think I
could be suited about this, but I think I think

(40:40):
if I changed the names of the innocent a little
bit here.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Angie has no idea, but I'm thinking this will probably
resonate with you. I think you'll know this and you'll
be able to put the names together and everything. But
don't say the real name. I'm gonna try my hardest
not to say the real name here, just in case
and if anybody wants to assume me I just made
this whole story up because it's allegedly. But this is
an interesting one, and this is where I really had

(41:05):
to grow a set of balls and more waste than
one of this one. This is a very tough and
I have to think back what year this would have been.
I'm trying to think this had to have been two
thousand and ten. I want to say twenty ten. So
put yourself back in twenty ten. What was going on
that year?

Speaker 2 (41:21):
I think pregnant with Ell.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
That's right. So you almost and unfortunately this almost ended
up with you being a widow.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Oh god.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Yes, it's a very sad, scary story of this one here,
but I'm going to tell it to the best of
my ability here, so stay with it here. But I uh,
this is back when I worked for the Mandalese Nibisco
Craft Organization at one time, and I was coming up
through the ranks. I started as a part timer merchandiser
into a full time merchandiser, into a swing rep, into
a sales rep, into a regional merchandising supervisor. Target I

(41:53):
was in charge of. There was a lot of different
hats I wore of one time over there. Now, whenever
you manage a team and maybe a lot of you
guys can relate, and you gals too, of course, And
you gals are free to take your clothes off just
like Andrew you want to. I have no judgment zone here.
But when you become a manager, you inherit a team.
And I think I had about eighty five employees, and

(42:14):
one day we'll tell the story about when I left
that organization and about sixty five of those people quit
and put their two week notice in and most of
them headed to the new company with me. That's a
true leader, when you follow your leader, that's true like
a young flint, not a young dude for the real
ones out there. But you inherit a team, and you
inherit the good, you inherit the bad, of course, And
unfortunately this is one of the ones that were bad,

(42:36):
and I had to weed out some bad people. And
one thing I've always said, and I don't like to
stand by it in my management of people is sometimes
a body is better than nobody. And I think that
relates there where you'd rather have somebody doing the work.
Maybe they aren't the best, but in the meantime you
can try to find somebody to replace them. I always
said it was a game of chess at all times,

(42:56):
thinking ahead, who could I move in these pieces here?
But you hate to lose somebody because you don't have anybody,
and maybe I'd have to end up doing it or whatever. Anyways,
long story short, this was one of those bad employees
that had to go. And this guy started off really good.
Actually he was part time. He actually merchandised for me
when I was a sales rep. I didn't have too
many issues. He was a little bit crazy, a little

(43:17):
bit zany, but you know, we all are, at the
end of the day, a little bit there. He was
a little bit over the top. Unfortunately, he took it
to another level as he did get promoted to a
full time merchandiser from a part time merchandiser. Hey, good
for you moving up in the world, you know. But
for whatever reason, he became full time and it's snapped
in his head and all of a sudden he knew
more than all the sales reps out there. It was weird,

(43:40):
but he knew more than all the sales reps out there. Oh,
I know him. This guy's doing it wrong. And I
would have to sit down and calmly say it's their route,
let them handle in it. And guess what if they
make the decision on the route and it's bad, they'll
get written up, they'll get fired for it. You don't
need to worry about it. You need to worry about
what you need to do. And what this guy really
needed to worry about, unfortunately, was a bar of soap. Unfortunately,

(44:01):
and I've had a few times in my life, and
that's got to be the hardest conversation to have with
an employee, is hey man, you got a shower. Hey man,
here's some soap. You go back to my young years
when I became a manager for the first time at
a grocery store. One time I gave gifted the guy
a bar of soap, and so here you go. That
was a little bit more out there. Maybe I wouldn't

(44:22):
recommend doing that, but I was young back then. But
that was an easier conversation than this one. It is
very tough to tell somebody, hey, you smell, Hey, you
got to take a shower. Now, I could look past
that if it was just maybe me seeing it, but
I had a lot of stores calling in and complaining
that he smelled terrible, and unfortunately for me, like I
can't smell so fortunately that's a good thing most time.

(44:42):
I mean, it really tough for me to smell. This
was one of the ones where you'd walk into the
aisle and your eyes would start watering. Unfortunately, it was
that bad. And you've probably smelled a person like that
a time or two. Not me, not me, No good.
I smelled good. I smell like candy, is what you
always said. It tastes just like it too, as far
as but he smelled real bad, and he could never
get the point across. And I don't know what the

(45:04):
whole story there was, why there was no showering or cleaning.
I don't know what was going on, but that was
a constant struggle, unfortunately, so we would have talks about that.
But he was smelling, obviously, and he was complaining to everybody.
And now this guy also got very vocal about his
hatred for women. Unfortunately, hated women, hated them with a passion,
like I hate women. All women are gold digger, all

(45:26):
women are terrible. And unfortunately, I think he really struggled
in the dating world. You know, he was an older gentleman.
I don't know older. He was about my age at
the time. So yeah, so he he struggled in the
dating life. And I think he was trying to get
on these you know, dating sites and stuff. Couldn't get anywhere.
It didn't get anywhere. So he was obviously all pent up.
So we had to keep you away from the aisle

(45:47):
and stuff. We don't want him to just blowing everywhere.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
I'm sure not showering had nothing to do.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
With no, I know. But he was very loud too.
He would get very loud and talking, very hated for
women and all those kind of issues there, so that
was a big, big deal with him. He was also
a gambler. He also really loves sports cards, which I'm
not again sports cards at all, but man, he was
like he was very out and proud to everybody. You
don't put money in your four one K, put it
in sports cards. Put in sports cards. And this was

(46:14):
kind of the dying days of sports cards. This wasn't
the boom of the eighties and nineties. This was kind
of the dull days. But now they're booming again. So
he's probably on a beach somewhere in Jamaica, always winnings.
He's up to now, lady, Yeah maybe, but he was
just always about that, and everybody would be like, can
you tell him to stop talking to us about sports
cards and stuff? And I got along fairly well with

(46:35):
this individual. I didn't really have two problems. I would try.
I could bring him back to earth a little bit,
and he was always really nice to me, and I guess,
but he also was gambling real big. Now, this was
when UFC was still not what UFC is right now,
and back in the day, I could pick every single UFC.
I could easily do it. I knew who the winners
every time I go, here's who's gonna win this, Here's

(46:56):
what's gonna win that. And he was just getting into
UFC and he'd asked my and he was a gambler.
So he would win all this money every week off
my stuff, and every once in while I'd say, hey,
here's fifty dollars, thanks for that tip, you know, which
was always nice too. I always appreciated that, so it
was really good. But he gambled. The sports cars thing
unfortunately smelled and then he hated women, and that was

(47:16):
a pretty powerful thing. He also used to work for
a local grocery store where apparently they bullied him pretty
hardly there. And obviously bullying is a big deal, as
we knew. We hear you got to be a star,
and we hear about bullying at school all the time
and all that. And I was never bullied. Were you
ever bullied? I was never bullied in my whole life,
because you know what, a lot of people get bullied
and they sit there and take it. I wouldn't fight

(47:38):
back if somebody tried to bully me, Like I mean,
I got a lot of fights back in the day.
I have been in tons and tons of fights. But
I'm not backing down from anybody. And I was always
that way, and a lot of people always come to
me for advice, like Kyle, how are you open about collecting?
If you wear it on your sleeve, you don't have
any problems, I think. But that's a story for another day.
But he hated this grocery store. They bullied him and stuff,
so we knew kind of keep him out of some

(48:00):
of these stories as far as merchandising did go, but
he was just really getting more amped up all the time.
It was a snowball effect that he was getting louder,
he was getting more vocal, the hatred for women, arguing
with things, And then all of a sudden, one day
he came to me, do you remember where the story's going?
You remember any of this at all? Now?

Speaker 2 (48:19):
I have a very vague memory of this person, but
I don't want a story.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Well, we'll fill you in later. But he came one
day to me and he let me know that he
had been he had just figured out he had a
very claravoyant passage here, like a young iron maiden, and
God was speaking to him, the Lord God was speaking
directly to him. You've met a few people like this before,

(48:43):
I think. Which it's always interesting because if God is
speaking to you and you tell him, well this is which,
Well God told me this. So that is probably the
hardest conversation you're gonna You think that borrow soap conversation
is hard. It's very hard having a conversation with somebody
that's says God told me this, And with Kyle, you're
telling me this, well, God told me. God's better than you,

(49:06):
God knows more than you. So it's pretty hard to
argue in those arguments, so I would have a lot
of stuff. Well, I know God said this, but you
have to do it this way. And we were having
performance issues, talk baggage. There was a lot of stuff bubbling.
Things were going crazy, and it's tough when you know
God's telling him to do these things. He also came
to the realization he was Alexander the Great reincardinated. Oh

(49:28):
my God, Alexander the Great once again, like the Iron
Maiden song back in the day. And but he thought
he was Alexander the Great reincardinated, and he had been
put back in this timeframe of Earth, of the world,
whatever you want to call it, because he had to
get to Drew Brees. Drew Brees, the football quarterback. I
think he played for the Saints. No, I'm not a
big football guy, but Drew Brees. They were their spirit animals.

(49:50):
And he had to get to Drew Brees. And he'd
been writing Drew Brees. I can only imagine what those
notes look like, and emailing or whatever getting a hold
of Drew Brees, obviously not getting very far with that.
God had told him to get a hold of Drew Brees.
All this kind of stuff and obviously he needed medication,
I think is what needed to be happening here and
among other things. So it was a very delicate thing.

(50:10):
Of course, being a manager, you got to be careful.
You just got to dance around these things a little bit.
And it was just getting very, very rough. And then
one Saturday morning, at like eight am, I get a
phone call and it was his family and they were
all in a room and they were having an intervention
and they brought me and they brought me into this
intervention on the phone and I'm like, first on like

(50:32):
a Saturday, why am I in this and what's going on?
And what am I supposed to say? And they're all
pleading with him that you know, they all knew he
had mental stuff, and it's very difficult. Like when you
tell me, Kyle, you're crazy, You're crazy, I'm like, she's crazy.
She is the crazy one. I'm sure it was something
like that. What was going on And you just can't
what's the word I'm looking for a resonator, rationalize. You

(50:56):
just can't do you go back forth with the person
that just has got on their like you know, Bob
Dylan back in the day, it's just almost impossible. So
where do you go from there? And the family's pleading
all this kind of stuff. Well, what happened Monday? He
didn't show up for work, So what the heck's going on?
Tuesday didn't show up for work, What the heck's going on.
I'm calling him, trying to get a hold of him.
I just want to be able to plan. I think

(51:18):
I did get a hold of me. He was taking
a couple of days off, so we got his PTO in.
He was taking a couple no problem, we'll get you
some days off. But then he never came back and
I couldn't get a hold of him, and I knew
this was a ticking time bomb because he had been
telling me he was wanting to go to schools. I
want to go to schools and talk to these kids.
And I'd say, you can't just walk up to the
front door of a school, walk in there and think

(51:39):
they're going to hold an assembly and say, okay, sir,
talk to the whole school, like he wanted to talk
to high schools and stuff, And I'm like, this just
doesn't work that way. And he was from an area
and that's where he was where my aunt. Of course,
you know my aunt of course, Salt of the Earth.
She was a school superintendent, and I gave her the
heads up, Hey, he's coming to your schools. He is
trying to get there to talk. You just better be careful.

(52:00):
So I told her all that, and he did try
and they turned him down all this kind of stuff,
and he was all worked up. So he's telling me
all this and I'm just like, you can't go. You
can't do this, trust me, it just doesn't work. You
gotta do background checks. And if you're gonna speak to
a bunch of kids, they're gonna want to hold like
they're gonna want something. They're not just gonna let you
with a live line. Yeah, it's just gonna happened. Believe me.
I try to go to schools all the time to

(52:21):
talk and they don't want to hear what I say.
I don't know. But he also had at this time
where he was speeding up there to go to this school.
He got stopped by the state patrol and guess what,
God got him out of the ticket. They let him go.
He was speeding, and I'm like, they just they don't
always give you a ticket. They say, hey, slow down, buddy,
you know, be careful man to him. It was God

(52:42):
let him out of this ticket. So there was just
no talking to this individual. It was very, very difficult,
but we I knew he was up to trouble with
all this kind of stuff, and having him under our
company umbrella, I knew it was going bad. And I'm
trying to get a hold of him, trying to get
a hold of him. Now he'd been a couple of
days after PTO had not up for work. What the
heck's going on? Where is he whatever? Finally got a

(53:04):
hold of him. His parents had been calling me trying
to find out have you seen him and you talk
to him? No, I haven't all this kind of stuff.
And then nowadays, my years later, I probably should have
just said, I think after like five days, it's job abandonment.
You're done. You know, you're automatically terminated. You haven't came
to work. It's automatic termination. It's good to go. You're done.
But young wild Kyle running fast and free. Of course,

(53:25):
back in the day, I can't believe you don't remember
this stuff, and you just can't remember anything. But we'll
see if this part clicks, because this is the part
that involves you and hearing a little bit. I finally
got a hold of him and he was held up
at a casino about two and a half hours away.
Do you remember this at all? No? Man, all right.
So I'm like, okay, I'm gonna come find you. I'm
going to this casino. I knew where it was two

(53:45):
and a half hours away. But my brain said, Kyle,
you got to get this guy off the books. You
got to get him off the books. So I had
a piece of paper there, I had it filled out.
I went up and he said, Hey, I'm in this
hotel room at this casino. So I haul all the
way up there to this casino. I get up the
elevator and go to the room. I'm standing in the hallway.
This is where I called you, and you don't remember this.

(54:07):
So I said, Angie, here it is. I'm at this place.
Here's where I am. Here is the room number. And
I said, if I don't call or text you back
in five minutes, please call the police, please call the police.
And that's what could be. That could be. But I
did say please call the police. I wanted somebody to

(54:27):
know where I was, just in case you're.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Already become a father I'm gonna resk it all.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Yeah, I put my work ahead. I put my work
ahead too often. But uh so I go to the
hallway and he said, hey, this is the room number. Well,
the room had the latch, so the door was open,
so it was open. So I push it slowly. The
door open, complete darkness, there's not a light on in
the place. And I walk in like, I'm like, Jimmy Joe.

(54:54):
We're using a fake name here, obviously. And there he
was sitting on the bed, the bed all made everything.
He's just sitting there and he's talking about you know,
he just immediately goes into the Drew Brees stuff. I
gotta get a hold of Drew Brees. It's God has
told me I need to get with him. All this
kind of stuff we got to. I mean, he was
out there and I was like, you know, Jimmy Joe,
you got a lot going on. I said, here's the deal.

(55:15):
You know, we need you at work, but obviously you
have a lot going on, a lot of stuff you
have to take care of. There's a lot of things
you have to do. If you could sign this piece
of paper that just says, hey, you're stopping your employment,
so I got him to sign you know, I terminate
my employment as of this day, blah blah blah. So
I did get him to sign that right there. So
you know, you got a lot going on, and there's

(55:36):
nothing I could do to help at this point, like
there's nothing. You can't call him in because he says
he's one hundred percent right, and you know it's you're
against me, you're against God all that. At that point,
it's not for me to try to figure it out.
It's for his family and stuff. And I have no
idea if you ever got to figure out. I don't
have any clue what happened there. I do remember, though,
this is where it gets a little crazy, and I'm very,

(55:56):
very fortunate that this happened. But I did get him
to say signed that. I immediately got that paper. I
got out of there as quick as I possibly could
have texted Uice it always fine, got back on the
road again like a young Willie Nelson, and got home
and saw the birth of my daughter that day. I
think that's how it went. I think it was that
I just got home just in time to see that.
And that's a story for another day that involves funions.

(56:19):
Oh tell that story. Remember that you remember that one,
that's for sure. But I got him to sign this,
and I immediately called HR and my boss on the
way up, and they screamed and yelled at me that
I was absolutely crazy because you could had a gun,
could have killed me. Whatever. You know, we weren't dealing
with the guy. It was fully there at the time, unfortunately.

(56:40):
But I got him to resign in all this, and
then literally two days later, I get a call from
that grocery chain I mentioned earlier that he absolutely hated
He hated them with a passion. They bullied him all
this kind of stuff, and I wasn't there, but I
tend to believe I could see how that could happen.
I get a call from one of their vice presidents
of that and they said, do you know this Jimmy Joe?

(57:03):
And I said, Jimmy Joe, Jimmy Joe. You know that
name just doesn't ring about Well, apparently he's one of
your employees. No, I don't have an employee by that name. No,
oh yeah, yeah, nope. He doesn't work for us anymore,
hasn't worked for us for a while, which maybe an
hour forty eight hours. But this is exactly what I
felt was going to happen. He apparently went into the store,

(57:26):
laid down in front of the meat case, said he
had a bomb, he was going to blow up the
whole store, all this kind of stuff. Absolutely lost his mind,
and they called me. He's banned from all their stores,
all this kind of stuff. He escaped out the back
guard before the police got there, so they had a
police thing. I don't know if he got arrested. I
don't know where it went, but that was the last
time I had dealings with him. I just felt bad

(57:48):
about the whole thing, because he was a nice enough
guy but clearly had some issues. But I remember, I think,
I remember just getting reamed by my boss, and then
I remember saying, Hey, if Kyle wouldn't have done this,
what the heck would have happened here? Because that would
have been a bad, bad look for a distributor that
calls on this grocery change. If he was still on
the payroll, I can't imagine how that would have went.

(58:10):
But you know, I just I'll never forget be on
the phone. And I was just a young kid at
the time. This president was like fifty something. I was
like and then you got him date that paper. Oh
I know, I signed it all and he dated and everything.
Jimmy Joe doesn't ring a bell for me. It just
doesn't ring a bell. And it's funny as Tom is
that manager, and he's I think he's retiring this year

(58:30):
and he's still over there and I still see him
every once in a while at grocer conventions and all
that kind of stuff, and really nice guy, one of
the nicest guys ever. But he hasn't brought that story
up in a long time. Maybe on his way out.
Hey remember that time.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
You called me about that for Jimmy Joe.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
Oh my gosh, but that was a wild scary thing.
When you deal with mental illness obviously, and you and
you say I have mental illness all the time. I
don't think you're right. I don't think you're right about that.
But somebody did in the comments this week, claimed I
did have mental illness. Oh my god, yeah they did.
They said, you know it is, Yeah, it's not very nice.
I'll get some medicine then, I guess. But we all

(59:06):
got a little mental illness in our own way. But
it was a rough thing and it was a crazy
scary time. Because I'm really not scared. I'm more scared
now that I have kids and stuff like that, because
let's be honest, this whole family, this whole house will
fall apart if I dynamo, It's just gonna happen. We
got to get things in place real quick here. But no,
I felt like I was made of crypton or kryptonite

(59:28):
Steele the Man of Steel back then, that there was
untouching it and I wasn't scared of anything. I'm still
not really scared of anything, but I probably should have
been a little bit smarter. I'm sure if I had
to redo that whole snare, I'd do it differently now
than when I was young. It leads into many other
stories of firings and things like that that we'll get
into with story time with Kyle, and of course tales
from Retail in the future. But this was a scary,

(59:49):
scary one, and it is officially I've told the Drew
Brees story and I've protected the names for the innocent
out there on that one. So there it is, Andrew,
you remember that one a little bit, a little bit,
hopefully all is well over there. So I tried to
beat around the bush the best. I could just protect

(01:00:09):
the innocent, and I get enough threatens of lawsuits over
the years. I don't I don't need another one. I
don't need another one. But there it is, Angie. That
is tales from retail. Now it's time for some final thoughts.

(01:00:29):
All right, Angie, it's time to bring it home with
some final thoughts, some final housekeeping. As we finish up
episode number ten of The Kyle Peterson Show, what do
you think about this week? Was it the best one yet?

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
We did it?

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Was it? What do you think if you had to
rank all episodes one through ten, would this be number one?
Number ten, number five? What do you think? It's mid
mid number five out of ten? It was, you know,
it was a heartfelt story. It was some long stories.
It was a little bit of this, a little bit
of somber, a little somber. Yeah, you know, we will
do some reach chapter that soon. Knows who knows what

(01:01:02):
we'll do. But episode ten in the can, I can't
believe it. On our way to one hundred, marching towards
one hundred, of course, but a lot going on this
weekend with the des moin con and stuff. A little
slower this week as we talked about at the beginning,
but interesting times as usual here on the channel. And
next week, you gotta do some searching this week to
find a new food as well, Angie, you gotta find something.

(01:01:23):
I do have some alligator beef jerky which could be
a new food, so we could try that. Maybe we
get some bugs, maybe some bugs or something chuck cover bugs.
I want to put something really gross in your mouth.
Just I want every day. That's exactly right, every single day.
But we'll see, we'll see what we can find. We

(01:01:44):
got to find something good. And maybe we'll find a
drink too. That's one thing we haven't tried as new
drinks out there, so maybe that's a possibility there. But
there it is, Angie. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself in
episode ten. Next week we're gonna do a special episode
because it is Little Angie's birthday here, so we're gonna
do some stuff around there as we get prepared for
the big shindig, which she says she doesn't want anything.

(01:02:04):
But we'll talk about some of that maybe on next
week's episode here. But of course, if you have any questions,
this is usually where we do the reviews and the
question of the week, but we didn't get any of
this weekends.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
You.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
I forgot to mention that no questions for you. They're
sick of you. So we're done no questions or anything
like that this week. Yeah, of course, but if you
got any questions the Cole Peterson Show at gmail dot com,
if you want those to be read next week, we
can try to answer that. And of course the five
star reviews always helped the channel spread the word on
the podcast, of course, because you know, somebody's got to

(01:02:33):
say about it. Somebody is and I'm doing my part,
Are you doing yours? Who knows. But we'll see what
happens next week with those ones there. Of course, don't
forget DJC Collectibles of course, sponsor of this very podcast,
and if you want to be a sponsor of the podcast,
hit The Coyle Peterson Show at gmail dot com. Gotta
think Jeff George for the music as usual, Midwest professional
wrestling legend Gay Jactane, who's going to sit in as

(01:02:56):
guest hosts in July. That's going to be an all
timer of an episode. Where's having the Philadelphia experiment? Of course,
just I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
You're gonna be doing don't want me bash maybe not.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Yeah, it'll be a professional. It'll be good to have.
Of course, he's a legend in a lot of ways.
Of course, voiceover artists.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
Are gonna be yelling over.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
It'll be fun. They're welld octane. He's out in Portland,
Oregon right now. So he got some openings for the show,
and it's funny. I bet you there's some people that
don't they fast forward through the opening song, but Gay
Jactane does doing a different announcement every single week where
we think of some funny bits to throw in there.
We've been working on it to know. We get a
list together and he goes into the studio and record
some stuff. We've heard him recently on a lottery commercial

(01:03:37):
on TV. He gets around at old Gay Jackane. More
on his story here in the next couple of weeks,
and you never know who might swing in as a
guest host. Trying hard for my dad, because I think
you're gonna be gone two weeks, I think technically, So
we'll see what happens. If we can get somebody else
on the show, we'll see. We'll see where that goes.
So there it is for Jie for episode number ten

(01:03:57):
of The Kyle Peterson Show. We'll see you as all
real soon.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
What are they gonna dance? So are we gonna play
