bit later than we normally do. Is. I had a
long day in the salt mines today, Angie did, as
did you so a lot of stuff. I've been doing
a lot of talking to. My brain hurts. But we're
gonna get through. We're gonna do episode twenty three of
the Kyle Peterson Show. We might we might utter through

(01:00):
this one maybe, but before we get too deep into things,
we got to think the sponsor of this very podcast.

a deal out there. And you know that by now
and agy sad times, it is the summer of Hawaiian shirts.

Day is over. That's usually the unofficial end of summer,
as they say, And you're not supposed to wear white anymore?
Is that true? I'll wear white. I'll do what I
want to do. Tell me not to wear white. If
I want to wear white, I'll wear white, that's for sure.
But a lot going on, of course, the end of
summer and back to the western wear and tell Halloween season.
Maybe we'll do something special for Halloween and He's gonna

(02:05):
give us a beautiful outfit. I'm sure she'll go all natural,
aal as a newdist maybe, who knows. I'm not covering
up just yet, not covering up just yet. Parker season
doesn't get until after Halloween, I do think. But it
does look weird.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
I'm showing so much skin and I'm.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
All covered up here today. But I am tired, but
I am fueled by Monster energy today, Angie, I'm three
monsters deep, three monsters deep. Today's heart attack. One heart attack,
three monsters deep. No big deal. But Monster, what are
we doing? We need to sponsor the podcast, sponsor the channel.
I'm a Kyle. It fits right in there. So shout
to Monster Energy of course, as usual, fueling me through

(02:41):
my podcast, fueling me through the workday. Here today shout
to Monster. Come on, Monster, come on, Monster. What are
we doing? But I have to mention last week, Angie,
we talked about it. We're near to episode twenty five.
We're at twenty three right now. By my math, I
think two episodes left after this, one after this too,
two till we get there. However, you want to do
your math, Usually I do it on my fingers and toes.

(03:03):
But episode twenty five gonna be a special Q and
A or mostly Q and A videos podcast, So make
sure you do get your questions in the copiers and
show at gmail dot com. Andy Angie'll handle us right away.
I have a few questions for you. She's got a
few questions to add to the Q and A. That's
all we need. That's all we need. But if you
want to have your question read, of course, send it
to the copiers and show at gmail dot com or

(03:24):
put it in the comments down below and we'll take
care of it from there. But twenty five, can you
believe it? Just right around the corner here on our
way to one hundred and then that's it, folks, It's
all she wrote. But we'll see what happens there. But Angie,
anything else for the housekeeping? Anything this week? We're just tired. Yeah,
we are lot of work. Do you want to tell everybody?
Tell everybody about your special purchase that's coming tomorrow?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Oh, I got a new washer.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
And drive, a new washer and dryer, all exciting times.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Angie and I bought a pretty one, pretty one, hey
buy just like the cheapest one we can find.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Seems like the laundry is going and give it.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Give it to me.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yep, I'll give it to you later, that's for sure.
I'll give you the old scratch and dent special. But
seemingly the laundry going twenty four to seven around our house, yes,
which really means these girls and your girls, so you're included.
You need to wear some of these clothes a little
bit more. Maybe, you know, just because you wore that
shirt for ten minutes to get mail doesn't mean you
need to like throw the dirty laundry.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
It's definitely my most tedious job I do.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's around the hours every day, and this washer and
dryer need to go because they're so loud and they're
interrupting all my conference calls and meetings. I gotta like
shut my door and it's annoying. So tomorrow they're gonna
give us a window for a four hour window, of course,
and I'll be home alone working all day long. I
don't have time for these four hour windows. I don't
have time. I got things to do with people, to
see in conference calls. Beyond you just tell me when

(04:43):
you're gonna get here. I can't be sitting around waiting
and I'm hoping. It's like we're coming between two and
seven or something. Is that four hours? Two and six,
two and six. I hope they come between two and
six because you and the kids will be home. You
guys can deal with the Shenanigans.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
It honestly like you, because you know, I know you
won't like clean up as they're pulling.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Out those ones. I got no time for these guys
because there I'm gonna be in my office. Okay, it's
right here. They should know what to do. This is
what they do. And then they're gonna come knocking on
my office door and they're be like, mister Peterson, need
just sign this or this hose that you have doesn't
work with this one? Is it okay if we use this?
And I'll be like, I'm on a call right like
dogs are going crazy. I just I'm not ready for it.

(05:21):
I'm not in the mental capacity. And it's like twenty
four hours away, and I know I'm not gonna be
the mental capacity for it. But we'll see what happens.
And then, uh, Angie, tomorrow, I'm hoping we can go
see the Toxic Avenger movie. I don't think Angie has
any desire to see it. She's never seen the Toxic Avenger.
But I would like to go see it in the theaters.
We'll see if that happens. Yeah, I don't know. I
have no friends that would want to see that either.

(05:42):
So I'm like, I'm not the kind of person that
can go to a movie by themselves. I cannot do that.
Could you go to a movie by yourself?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I think I've done it?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Like one time, Man, You're a loser.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
What was that one?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Like Veronica Mars or whatever? Over that? Yeah, a special show.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
And then it ended up coming online somewhere like a
couple of days.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I didn't even I could never go to a movie
by myself. I would I would think everybody would sit
there and say, why is that guy by himself? Or there?
He's got to be weird? And that might be true,
maybe it isn't. Maybe I am weird, but it would
just I think people would be staring at me the
whole time. I know they wouldn't be, but it's kind
of like what I do. I always talking about runners.
I were driving the car and I see some guy
running on the street, you know, doing an extra, Like
what's he running from? Who's chasing that guy? Why is

(06:21):
he running? Stay? At home on a treadmill, Go to
the gym on the treadmill, run walk laps in your
backyard like a normal guy like me, just do laps
back there with the dogs. I don't know. Stuff like
that just messes me up. Like going out to eat
by myself. I can't go out teep by myself, are
you kiddy? Can you go out deep by yourself? You
can sit down at a panera and just eat by yourself.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I mean perfectly. I have like a laptop or a book.
It looks less awkward.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
So me, when I do a work trip or something
and I got you with something to eat, I will
take my laptop and my notebook and I'll sit there
and I'll work while I eat, and just then then
people the other fine diners at the local Applebee's, they're like, oh,
that guy's a working man. He's a hard working man.
He's got something to do. I'm not just gonna sit there,
you know, just raw dog and it just chilling. No
phone or anything like ma. Only this guy doing here

(07:02):
at Applebee's by himself. Just a weird guy. He's got
a western shirt on. He doesn't seem to be around here.
His plates are from a different state. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Just just on the phone, seems desperate. I think, oh, yeah,
it just looks like yeah, so I couldn't do that.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
So I really want to see this Toxic Avenger movie,
but I don't think I can go by myself. And
maybe I could take the kids, but it is unrated.
It's probably not for them. But you know, ten year
old's got to learn. Ten year old's got to learn quick.
So I don't know, but I don't think they would
want to go either. And he just doesn't want to go.
Nobody wants to go. I'm sure somebody out here watching
this and listening to this would want to go with
the problem is you probably don't live by me, so
we can't go. That's the problem.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
So what's that comedy show we took him to him that?
We were like, oh, it was way more inappropriate than
we thought.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh, they wanted to go to the Practical Jokers.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I don't even know if that was sal was that
who it was. I don't even watch that show. I've
seen it, I know what it is, but they were
all into it, but it was nothing like they hoped
to And guess what the voice of reason the whole
time is like, this isn't impractical, jokers, this is his
solo thing, this isn't And they were all disappointed, and
I was really just pointed because I had to spend like
two hundred some dollars on a night of comedy. I
didn't even laugh once at So that was fun too. Thanks,

(08:06):
thanks for bringing that up. Thanks for bringing that up
for me there. But I don't know. That's a lot
of housekeeping. That's That's about what's going on. So it's
a very eventful week here. This week. I've been working
around the clock. Like I think I talked about, I
have a huge business deal going down, and it's it's
gray and me. I'm gonna be all white. I'm gonna
be like a skunk next week. There's no way around it.
I've been working around the clock. I am exhausted, i
am tired. I'm coming off a long work day here,

(08:27):
so I'm fired out of a cannon. So we'll see,
we'll give it you what you got this week. We'll
give you what you got. Normally, I was gonna have
go into a huge deeper dive, but I'm gonna save
that for another time. I just don't. I just don't
got it in me to give you guys what you
need and do the deeper dive. I barely got enough
to do a deeper dive into you tonight, Angie. So
I'm just gonna have to save that one for another time.
And instead we're gonna go right to the main event, Angie.

(08:50):
Maybe not quite the main event, but we're get into
the first segment, and it's gonna be in a plot
twist here, Angie. It's time to try new foods because
they might taste good. You can.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Down a little medada down.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
We gotta join taste good, all right, Angie. It's time
to try new foods because they might taste good. And
this is an extra special one. And this is I'm
gonna say it. It's a controversial one. That's what I'm
gonna say. It's controversial, Angie. What are you gonna have
whip it out before I do. It's a collab. It's
a collab. Angi's gonna whip it out that Oreo Reese's

(09:26):
Oreos expires February twenty twenty six. I see on the
side of the box. Now this is just hitting stores
right now. There you go. This is hitting stores right now,
and it might be listed as Project Snoopy, because that
was the behind the scenes name for this one here.
And I've seen some signs at the local grocery stores
it says Project Snoopy, which they should probably remove that

(09:47):
put Reese's oreos. The more you know about the old
grocery business, folks, But this is a weird one here
because a lot of people are saying, oh my gosh,
this is brand new. I've never seen this, and I say,
wait a minute, hold the phone. I worked once again.
I worked at the Mandalese Corporation, Kraft, Nabisco, whatever you
want to call it at the time, for a good decade,
and we had these back in the day. We had

(10:09):
Reese's oreos back in the day. So they could be reformulated,
they could be different. We'll see what happens. I have
not tried these yet, but I do remember the old
ones once upon a time. Wasn't the biggest fan, but
I do like the peanut butter chocolate more than most.
How about you? You, what is your favorite kind of oreo? Normal?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Well, actually no, I don't like the peanut butter chocolate.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, what's your favorite? I'm a mint, but it's got
to be a I don't really like a regular, that's right.
You like those what are those called oreole fins? They
still got those? Those are all right. I don't mind
him mintor.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Like a lot of stuffing. I don't even like a
double stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
You like it double stuffed every once in a while, not.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
The mostest stuff.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Oh, you're talking about Oreos. I thought you're talking about
something else. But but yes, but think I would like
the cream, but I don't know. You love the cream,
you like the double stuff, you like the most stuff.
You like more cookie. She likes more cookie than cream.
I don't believe that. And I don't believe that for
a second. But we're gonna see these. These look to
be double stuffed here, so you're gonna have to enjoy it. Also, Oreo,
I've seen so it's good you said that. Have you

(11:05):
seen that in the stores yet? No? But I saw people. So.
I was at the San Diego Comic con of grocery conventions,
we'll just call it that, a while back, and they
had samples of these. I didn't try these there, however,
I tried the Oreo reeses. So it's a Reese's peanut
butter cup with a little bit of like an Oreo
like chunks in it. No, it's like an Oreo cookie
in the middle. Oh wow, So it's like a full

(11:26):
like one half of the Oreo. It's the cookie on top,
and then the chocolate was white chocolate on the top
instead of the cream, and then the peanut butter cream
in the middle and then chocolate surrounding it. And I
gotta say it was the best Reeses I have ever tasted.
Now here's another thing that drives me crazy. Don't beat
these people. Somebody out here is going to do this.
Have you seen these people? They're lunatics. I'm gonna say it.

(11:48):
They call it Reces. Did you know what I'm talking about? People,
there's some people that call it Reese's. It's Rees's. It's Reese's.
It's not Rece's. People say Reese's pieces, and oh, I
had the Reces. It's not Rece's, it's Reese's Pieces, That's
what it is. I've delved into that with some of
the people that work for the corporation of course, Hershey's

(12:09):
and stuff like that. So I don't know. But going
back to the actual cup, the Reese's peanut butter cup
with the oreo absolutely amazing. Now, if you're like me,
you remember the eighties and nineties how good those Reeses
tasted back in the day, And now it tastes very chemically.
It just doesn't taste right anymore. This one, at least,
the samples I got at that show tasted like an

(12:29):
old school like eighties and nineties Reese's peanut butter cup.
I was absolutely blown away. I could not believe what
I was tasting. So I'm hoping to see those out
in the stores and we'll probably try those as well.
And I need to try them again to see if
it's as good as the sample, because one thing I'll
tell you whatever, there's samples of these new items. They
usually give them out of the test kitchen or they're
the nice, nice stuff. It's not the actual manfacturing manufacturer stuff.

(12:52):
So we'll see where that goes.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I bet they'll pop up in wally Worlds, lit Walmart, we'll.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Say, we'll say. But I'm very excited to try those.
Need some help. I'm really good at opening stuff up.
Oh weird, what are you got going on? Oh? And
I'll tell you this packaging. It comes in a box
and open that up. But it's got the raised reeses
is raised on here, so they spent some extra serving
size to these.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
It's kind of like it looks like real peanut butter.
It's almost like oozing out.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
So I'll tell you what. They do. Look different than
the old school ones I used to have, Seal Lander Goodbye.
These are very different.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
But it's like the other one that are so soft
it's almost like I could squeeze the.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Mells peanut buttery too, says Oreo's really good. So we've
had these in the past, but these do look better
than they used to be by my member. My remembrance
is that a word? Your memory? My memory? There you go,
so remember we're gonna try it. Let's see what we got.
Oh my god, full good. I'm dropping pieces all over

(14:00):
the desk. I don't like that one.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
But it's crazy how much soft the peanut butter is.
Is it a child which had a child walk by?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Definitely a taste Oreo cookie.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
It is pretty consistency of the peanut butter is what
makes it almost it's a lot softer.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's a lot softer than your normal cream. And I'll
say the cookie seems to be a little bit more
crumbly on these than they normally are. And this could
be because they're very fresh. These are fresh off the
line here. That could be part of it. Now, I'm

(14:40):
a chocolate peanut butter guy, so if I get an
ice cream or something, chocolate peanut butter is the way
I go. So I'm a little biased at things like this.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, these are going to go in our house for sure,
the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
You don't get that many.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I think there's only like eight per tray, three trays.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
What's the price point? It was five and a half
e that's expensive. Wait for a deal. Maybe I tell
you what.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
I could eat another one, but I really want to
eat another one right now.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
You got to rate it first. So if we're going
to rate it out of five, Angie, what are you
thinking on this one here? What is your brain telling
you out of five five being perfect? Hmmm? A four
out of five? Look at that? Not perfect though, Angie.
You're the only thing perfect in this room right now.
That's that's right. Are you drink of water? I need

(15:31):
another drink? A monster shout out to monster energy, Come on, monster,
what are we doing before? And he's going four out
of five. I'm going a four and a half out
of five a high rating for me here. It's it's
really what I'm looking.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
For good And I don't think a four when I
gave it, but I felt like it was four and a.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Half because I'm a chocolate peanut butter guy. I like
Reese's peanut butter cups most of the time. It's, uh,
it works for me, So I think it's a limited edition.
So it's one of those things you better stock up on.
I got to think they're going to go pretty playing
in another one. Yeah, so not a bad piece of
business right there. You got to get rid of it
right now. She can't wait. You gotta get rid of it.

(16:08):
So Angie, that's pretty good. So we'll see what we
got next week. It'd be nice if we can find
those oreos to go back to back, but we'll see
if that's possible. Oh yeah, the oreos are you know
what I'm meant. Come on? So there it is, Angie
that was trying new foods, so they might taste good.
That might be the highest rated one we've done so far.

(16:29):
So we'll see right there. So there it is all right, Angie.
Next up, story time with Kyle. All right, engine, it's
time for story time with Kyle, or we dive into

(16:50):
a story of the past, and this one you don't
know anything about. Yeah's bedtime stories. Get the pillow ready,
she got the motorhead pillows is ready to go. But Angie,
this week, I'm gonna tell the story of Strikeforce in ups.
Okay you even know what that is? No, she has
no clue. And you know some people call ups ups
the ups man. I remember I had used to have
a neighbor and said, oh, yeah, it's the ups and

(17:11):
I'm like, it's ups. He's like, no, it's ups. And
that drove me crazy too, kind of like when people
say receas. I don't know, it's just the way it goes.
But the ups man once upon a time, and it
reminds me of our kids. You know, they order their
latest K pop craze and they're like, Mom, when's it coming,
when's it coming, when's it coming? To the man, when's
it going to be here? And I was just like
that when I was a little kid, as you can imagine,
And let me take you back to the eighties when

(17:34):
there was grocery stores. Once upon a time, I'd go
with my parents, my dad on the weekends to the
grocery store. He'd be getting the groceries. I'd tag along
for a while, but then I'd always usually work my
way to the magazine section. Of course, I always have
to go to the magazines at the grocery store, and
they would have all the wrestling magazines, and a lot
of times I got to pick one of the wrestling
magazines to get, and you know, I might get the PWY,
might get the WWF magazine, even the WCW magazine once

(17:57):
upon a time. But Angie, you're gonna know this story
once I tell you. Maybe maybe, but I did get
the let's just say I got PWI magazine this time.
And I'd go home and on the back cover or
the back pages of that, there was always a checklist
for wrestling figures, LJN wrestling figures, the old big rubber
guys to be specific on those, and there was a

(18:17):
checklist now my local stores, and Angine, you could tell
me about your local stores later. We'll have to save
it for off the podcast. But I don't know if
you remember how the l jaans were sitting at your
local Promida store once upon a time, probably probably on
a peg that makes sense. But my stores, I remember
my stores being pretty bare on l Jan's especially. This
was towards the later days of the l JNS. You

(18:37):
couldn't find a lot of that stuff. And I came
into the l JNS a couple series in so I'd
go back and get some of the peg warmers things
like that. So the back of the magazine was the
place to order the l JNS for me. And the
bad part of that was they were like three times
more expensive than retail back then. And back then, of course,
there was no internet. You couldn't just order it. You
couldn't just call it in. There was a form, you

(18:58):
had to cut the form out, you had to mail it,
put a stand on, put a check, all that kind
of fun stuff. So that was a lot of fun
for you young Kyle, of course, having to be talking
to your parents to get your money and figure it out.
I'm here's my can money, you can put that, write
a check, do that whole rhythm or roll. And I
remember just being so excited ordering stuff, and that's where
I got the Black Card series. Once upon a time,

(19:18):
many of the figures I had my childhood days came
from the back of the magazines because of ordering these things. Well,
one time I wanted to order me some Strike Force.
Of course, you know the members of Strike Force, right,
I don't need to tell you. You know who they are. Yeah,
she knows who they are, of course. You know. It's
Tito Santana and Rick Martel pre model days of course
for Rick Martel. But I needed Strikeforce in my collection.

(19:40):
I needed them in there, and well that's what we
settled on. This was I think the first thing I
ever ordered out of the back of this magazine was Strikeforce.
I needed a tag team division. I needed Strike Force
to be in that division. So I ordered it, and
of course my dad, you know, had to fill out
the check put it in there, and I remember licking
that envelope, put it in the mailbox, put that flag up,
and next thing, you know, that's on its way. You

(20:00):
know how it goes, and you have to do it
from time to time. But I will never forget that
day putting that in the mailbox and have the mailman
take it. And I'm like, oh boy, here we go
that day. The next day and this was summertime, mind you,
So I wasn't in school, but every single day. I
knew they were coming via Ups. That's where things came from,
or somehow I knew. My dad told me whatever it was,
it was coming Ups. And I started bugging the UPS

(20:24):
guy every single day after that second day. And being
a little kid, you don't realize that, Hey, this letter's
got to travel all the way till I think it
was New York. They got to get it, they gotta
process it, they gotta package it, they gotta ship it
a whole rigamarole, if you will. But little Kyle didn't
know that. And I'd see that UPS guy. He'd always
be in my neighborhood every single day, kind of like
the Amazon guys are now, and I'd run up to

(20:44):
his car or his brown truck, you know. I'd run
up there and I'd say, do you got strikeforce for me?
And that guy just like, what's a strike force? What
are you talking about? But the guy, thinking back on this,
he was way nicer to me, being a dumb little
kid not knowing how the world works, as he would
entertain me every single day and like, I'd be up there,
you got strikeforce, you got strikeforce. I remember my dad,

(21:05):
I think, trying to say it's not going to be
that quick. But I don't remember my dad sit me
down and saying, well, Kyle, you got to understand it
traveled all the way here, they got to process it.
And he should have explained that to me. It would
have saved me a lot of probably embarrassment to this
ups guy or the upsky if you want to call
him that. And he gave me the whole story. No,
I don't know, don't got anything for your house today
and you got strikeforce. And I would ask him, like
he knows what's in every single box for every time?

(21:26):
Are you running like multiple houses down? If I never
where whenever I'd first see him, I'd come running up.
I always remember, because they always had their doors open.
You could run right up to him. And you know
it nemember being a younger guy at the time. He's
probably in his twenties, thirty early thirties or something. But
he was super nice to me about it because thinking back,
how annoying I had to have been. And you know,
it's kind of like my package guys now they're like
this guy he gets packages every day. This guy's so annoying.

(21:48):
I'm sure they hate me, but it was and they
would get a nice tip if they would stick around
a little bit longer. That's our problem, Like, I'm not
going to give this big tip to a mailman when
I get a different mailman seemingly every single day. You know,
for a while, we had the same guy for like
two years. Oh, we treated him right, Angie. You did
him so many favors over the years. It was so
nice to you around the holiday time. He really appreciated
that kind of stuff. You cleaned his car, you cleaned

(22:11):
his all kinds of stuff, and you really took care
of that guy. But he was super nice, the UPS guy.
And I remember the day, you know, it seemingly months.
I don't know how long it was. It was definitely
a couple of weeks. He finally what I was going
to say, I changed his oil. Oh you checked his
oil and then you fall on change it. Oh my gosh,
that postal guy. Very lucky. No want to retire.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
It was only I gotta go out on top.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Not on top, and I think you were on top
of how it ended though, But it was a wild
time for me. And then the UPS guy seemingly a month,
I don't know how long it takes, but he finally
had a package for me, and I remember him to
clear his day saying, well, I think I got your
Strikeforce for you, and lo and behold it was Strikeforce.
Of course, it was a very exciting day. But that
guy could have been a real jerk to me as

(22:57):
a little kid. And I remember him being just like
way nicer, especially knowing down the road, understanding how the
world worked and how the post office ups FedEx. All
that kind of stuff works. Had to have been annoying,
but I'm sure I was the highlight of his thing.
I don't remember him patting me on the head or
anything like that. I would have watched you on box
it probably what is this strike Force? You keep telling

(23:17):
about this thing. I've heard about it for a month.
I want to see it. But I don't remember any
of that. I don't remember ever talking to the guy
ever again.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
That you can care about him.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
You're done with me, I know we've had so lonely breath.
We had a month long relationship, talking every single day,
and the minute I got my stuff, it was nice
to anybody, nice knowing you. I'm moving on, moving on.
So there it is. Yeah, that's right. He could around
one hundred at least in a home he's in at
least in a home by now.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Changes oil.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Hand him out. Anybody's the oil change. Angie's ready to check.
Angie's here for you. But that is a little quick
story time with Kyle. And remember the end of summer
and summertime rememdering that the hot I'm her sun going
out there hunting my strike force. And let me tell you,
once I got Rick Martel and Tito Santana, my life
just was infinitely better immediately.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Where are those friends now in the.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Basement in the detelf case, I'll show them. I'll show
them to you later. I'll show you my model, I'll
show you my Tito Rima all day long. I'll check there.
You go, might as well check it all there. It
is that story time with Kyle Angie. Now it's time
for the album of the week. All right, Angie, it's

(24:33):
time for album of the week. And I guess we'll
call this first single of the week because there's only
one song so far. It's from the upcoming album November fourteenth,
mark your calendars. Of course. The album title all Washed Up.
It is one of my absolute all time favorite bands.
It is cheap Trick. Cheap Tricks got a new album
coming out, And kudos to those guys from Cheap Trick
on their new album and all the albums they've released,

(24:54):
because we know how these legacy acts from the sixties, seventies,
and eighties, they usually just rest on their hits, play
their hits, play the greatest hits all the time, not
Cheap Trick every couple of years, a brand new album.
It means a lot to them to get new albums
out there. Now, let's be honest, most people aren't checking
out a new Cheap Trick album in twenty twenty five.
But I give them kudos for always being the hardest

(25:14):
working band of course, a proud Midwest band as well.
And here is a very crazy story, almost as crazy
as the story of me meeting like the nephew of
Greg Gania this week in the grocery store. That's a
story that we'll have in toy News a couple of
days ago if you're watching, depending on what order you're
watching this. But what are the odds of this? And
that's a story for another day. But I did meet

(25:36):
up a guy I work with actually who lives in Rockford, Illinois,
shot to Jerry. His wife is cousins with Rick Nielsen
of Cheap Trick, so I thought, next, and they have
family reunions every single year. I said, Jerry, next, family,
you got to bring me in. You got to bring
me in, so we'll see. I might be headed up
to Rockford, feel to the Nielsen estate. That would be
quite the time. But I got a lot of fun

(25:57):
Rick Nielsen stories out of that, of course, and I
met Cheap Trick time or two in my day. Always
enjoy Cheap Trick. I usually like heavy metal. Of course,
Cheap Trick one of those bands that even heavy metal
guys really do love. And this new album coming out
very good. They have a new song called twelve Gates.
It's okay, I mean, it's what you think Cheap Trick
would be. Angie has not heard this yet. She knows
cheap Trick. You've seen Cheap Trick? Have you've seen what?

(26:19):
One time? Two times? I think twice twice. And Elle
used to always go to the Cheap Trick shows with me.
Now El doesn't want anything to do with Cheap Trick
anymore because she said there was some creepy lady that
was touching her. And I said that's your mom. That's
your mom. She can touch you if you want to be.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Lady kept like trying to get her like up on
stage because they were, like I don't know if they
were even bringing a kid on stage on.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Stage, just like trying to get her to like dance
and stuff. So yeah, it just creeped her out a
little bit here. It was harmless, yeah it was. But
Cheap Trick is coming. And then of course they announced
your too, what but they are coming here to our
local area here on like December seventh or something like
that around Christmas time. So I'm very excited. Nothing better

(27:00):
than a Cheap Trick show and nothing better than a
Cheap Trick show where I only have to drive ten
minutes down the road to go see the concert. It's
gonna be amazing. I'm making Angie go with me. It's
a nice new venue. I can't wait to rock around
the clock for the holidays with Cheap Trick. It's gonna
be a great time. And I usually see Cheeck Trick
every year or at least twice a year, and it's
been a little bit and it's been a little bit

(27:21):
Cheap Trick. It's unfortunate Obviously they're getting older. We all are. Imedie,
who remember we talked about that Cheap Trick has had
to replace obviously the drummer of course, Bunny Carlos. He said,
Sayonara like a decade ago. And then they got a
little extra help in the band. So the members are
still there, but they're adding members. It still works for me,
still works for me. It doesn't work for everybody, It

(27:41):
definitely works for me. Very excited for the upcoming Cheap
Trip album and even more importantly for me, the concert
and Angie and I will be rocking out around the
holidays and we'll have a full review come that time.
I'm sure. Any last words on Cheap Trick, probably not.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
I've only ever seen them like hot summer outside venues.
That's kind of nice to be.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, you've seen like state fairs and things like that.
So and they're just a band that always tours, especially
luckily for us being in the Midwest, they're around the
Midwest all the time because they all still live in Rockford.
They have houses Otherworrees too, but they still live in Rockford, Illinois.
And I've done some toy hunts in Rockford, Illinois and
I'm due to go back there one of these days.
So well, do Do Brown? Okay, sure, why not? Why

(28:24):
not shout out to our friend Doodoo Brown rocking. I
think he's still with Rihanna as far as I know,
working on in her band, but she catch up with him.
Shout out to a good friend of the channel, Doodoo Brown.
And there's that famous picture where you were sitting in
Doo Doo Brown's lap, once upon a time, iconic, iconic,
You and Doo Doo just fast friends, fast friends. Did
you check his oil? He checked his oil too? Oh

(28:45):
my gosh, everybody, He's checking everybody's oil. That's for sure,
a wild time with Angie and the oil channels, of course.
So there it is. That is album of the week.
But we'll call it song experience concert upcoming concert of
the week. So what we'll call it this week? But Angie,
we're not done yet. We got another one. It's time
for the figure of the week, all right, Angie, it's

(29:19):
time for a figure of the week. And I saw
this one from my desk, and for some reason I
was staring at this figure all day long. Maybe it
was the bulge going on, the bulging muscles, the bulging biceps.
The bulging I don't know it's Angie's kind of thing here,
but I did figure, hey, this would be a good
one to talk about here as figure of the week.
And Angie, what is it? Do you have any guests
who this guy's name is?

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Is he He's Irish?

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Could be so he is a loose collector? Is the
name brand of this figure here? He is a hulking
piece of business. If there ever was one. It is
mister Hyde from of course juckal and Hyde. You know
the monster and you turn. It's their interpretation of mister Hide. Now,
this doesn't have to be mister Hyde for you. If
you don't want it to be, you can choose your
own adventure and use him as something different. But he

(30:05):
is a beefy, amazing figure and good friend of our
channel here. Sambro got me this many years ago, and
I really appreciate that, and I stare at it, like
I said, every day when I'm sitting my desk, HiT's
up there, and it's one of those cool figures. You
can put it with your Marvel legends, you can put
it with your wrestling, do whatever you want, put it
wherever you want to. But a very big, bulking figure,
smooth joints on this from the Loose Collector brand. Now

(30:27):
I do have the Loose Collector a werewolf, and we
do have Loose Collector bigfoots around the corner, and I'm
gonna have to dive into those hairy bipedal creatures. There's
no way I'm passing those ones up. But this is
the one started at all. And I never had a
Loose Collector figure till I got this one. Helped open
my eyes a little bit more to the third party.
And I do get some blowback every once in a while.
Do you ever get blowback? You do? Oh my goodness, Well,

(30:49):
every once in a while I get it, and saying,
you know, Kyle, you just collect the Hasbro, the Marvel Legends,
the ww stuff. You don't get any of the third
party stuff. Well a lot of the third party stuff,
you know, is takes forever to get here, it costs
a lot more money, all the other reasons for that.
But I have since dabbled, and this is one of
the ones that really opened my eyes to some of
the third party companies. And I dabbled before, but it

(31:10):
opened my eyes a lot more and I started getting
Ninja Turtle, third party company stuff and a few other
things along the way, even wrestling things along the way,
as you guys have seen on my YouTube channel. And
he says, I don't know anything about this, but you've
seen this figure before.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Those feet are beautiful. It's probably why you keep it up.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
That's right. They were based on Todds. Actually, look at
my dad's Gosh, he's got to articulation. Even wow, your
dad's toenails. Those aren't doing too good these days. They
don't exist. But have you ever seen this figure before?
I don't know, Oh really, I don't think I've noticed.
It's been in my office for a long time. But

(31:50):
it's a good looking figure, there's no doubt about it.
A hulking man, a hulking specimen. This is how you
like your guys to look, isn't it. The big toes
and the big feet of course, of course, and his
shirt even comes off. Look at that. So a fun
one here this week, loose Collector along out of print.
I do believe one weird thing about this figure. I
should mention it did come with these naked little kids.

(32:12):
And I'm not sure why it came with these little kids.
Oh my god, very strange.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Even got a little peepe.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, I got a little peepee going on. I don't
know what's going on. And it came with those is.
It was like a pre order bonus type thing like
little troll ears. And now I believe if I remember right,
it's been a couple of years. But these are from
some kind of like folk tale, like in India or
something like that. There's these like little devil children that'll
get you and stuff. So they made these and they

(32:38):
threw these in with the figures. A little thing. But
you're gonna check his oil hair.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
The hair looks like broccoli.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
It does. It tastes like it too, but definitely wild.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Where he says, my hair looks like broccoli.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Oh boy, p one harmony in Korea. It's all we need.
It's all we need. And it might have been even Korean.
I can't remember what it was Indian Korean somewhere out there,
but a wild one. Wow, but a nice throw in.
I guess if you like that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
So there, What would you do if I had a
baby look like that?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I ask a lot of questions. I ask a lot
of questions. I'd say, wait a minute here, right, off
the bat, I'd say I got some questions about this,
really question, I'd really question some things, all right. Question
what you've been up to while I've been out on
my work trips is what I'd be really questioning. So
who knows. But there it is, the loose collector, mister Hyde.

(33:28):
I'm not sure if this one's hard. It's probably pretty
hard to get at this point. It's been a couple
of years. But I'm very excited for their Yetti and
Bigfoot figures here in the future, So I guess stay
tuned for those reviews maybe a year from now. What
is time once again? But Angie, there it is. That
is the figure of the week. And now it's time
for another adventure. It's time for Tails from Retail. All right, Angie,

(33:56):
it's time for Tails from Retail. You ready for this one?
I really got down. You're ready to go? Well, I
tell you what, I'm always ready to go, you know me.
I'm always ready to go and already and wear really
enable at all times? Of course, am I not? Yes?
At all times, that's for sure. So, and you've got
a little Tails for Retail here, and this is going
to be your story. You said you had an event

(34:16):
that you wanted to share with everybody at Tales from Retail. No,
she didn't. Okay, maybe one day you'll have a Tails
from Retail. You've had a few. Probably you got kind
a good storyteller like you. Oh yeah, I don't know
about state the fact that you had anybody notice you lately.
What do you mean like, yeah, saying, oh I remember
I've seen you on the channel or I've seen you.
You've had a few of those. You've had a few

(34:36):
people that are watching and checking out the podcast from
time to time.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
They'll usually like there, they won't even talk, so they'll
just say like a little one off thing and as
they're walking by.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
And you'll know where yeh. Never like Hi, I'm so,
and so that's interesting. So and anybody hitting on you lately,
anybody giving you their number at the Stories lately. Always
always a lot of that going on out there. And
then you know what usually happens. You know what they
always say, These people will tell that guy you know
who she's married to, and you know what in g

(35:07):
R run away and you always say, people are scared
of me. I'm a very I have a big stick
in more ways than the one as you know. But
people are scared of me. I'm not mister nice guy
out on the business courts. Am. I, well, you're a
powerful man, a powerful man, powerful things. I'm making money moves,
you know how it goes. But then you always say
oh he said, They had to say, oh, that's you

(35:28):
know who she's married to. And then they never talked
to me, never talk to you again because they know
they know. Oh my gosh, I don't want to get
involved in that. They know where I've been. They know
where I've been, that's for sure. So wild times. Where
are we going with this? Oh we're going to story
time with Kyle, and we're going to take it back
to when I was about nineteen years old. Let's say
I was nineteen managing a frozen food section at a

(35:49):
local grocery store. Oh what a time to be alive there.
But it was a great time for me. I learned business.
I learned a lot of stuff. I learned about managing
a team, employees, hiring and firing. As we've discussed here,
pies pies er messy was that last week. I think
we talked about that experience there, and that's what reminded
me of this experience a little bit here, and I've
told the story of my twenty first birthday. I learned

(36:11):
a lot, and there was a lot of work learned
in the salt mines back then, cutting my teeth. And
I'll never forget too. This is kind of a sidebar conversation,
but I'll never forget. I was making thirty, like one
thousand dollars or thirty two thousand dollars a year as
a frozen food manager, which was a fortune. When you
live at home with your parents, you're going to college

(36:32):
and like at the time, you know, I was going
to the community college until I figured out what I
wanted to do, And thirty two thousand dollars is an
absolute fortune when you your only bill was your car insurance.
That was all I had. So I'm like buying guitars.
I'm gonna buy this guitar, I'm gonna buy this man
and yeah, and I bought a brand new jeep and
I still have that jeep right here to this day,
and I paid it off. It was a great feeling.

(36:53):
But when you have no other bills, why wouldn't you
pay that jeep off? So that was fun. But I'll
never forget I was making like thirty two thousand and
then I said, hey, I'm going to college, which I
was already in college with community college. I'm going to
the real four year college, you know. I'm gonna get
my degree and stuff, and I'm going to transfer to
that store up there, and I'm going to work. And
I remember transferring up there and they said, well, you know,

(37:13):
we got all these people that want to work, so
we only pay eight fifty an hour. And I said,
well that's fine, eight fifty, that's whatever, it is, what
it is. I'm not here to be a manager. I'm
here just to get some hours. And it's suspending money
for partying at the bars and stuff. You know how
it goes. You've been into those bars. But and I
remember then I worked there for you know, like three
years or whatever, and then I moved back. I said, okay,

(37:35):
I've graduated college. Now it's time to get back in
the game. It's time to figure out my career. And
I was tiptoeing around that some career choices. Maybe that's
a future story time with Kyle or tales from retail.
But I remember going back to my home grocery store
and they said, well, we want to bring you back
in the job. You're aut we need a new manager
and stuff. We're going to hire you, but we're only
going to give you eight fifty an hour. And I

(37:55):
was just like, wait a minute, wait, let me do
I'm trying to do the math here. So I whipped
my sock off right away. I started counting my toes
right there in the HR room. But I was like,
wait a minute, I'm making thirty two thousand dollars before
I had a college degree, and now I'm going to
get eight fifteen an hour because thirty two thousands like
sixteen an hour or something, I don't know what, something
like that. I remember being all worked up about that.
I don't know where this is going, but I was

(38:16):
fired up. I'm still fired up about it. And then
I was real fired up when I asked for a rate.
Maybe that's a story for another day. And I got
to see you later. I got to see you later,
and I held a grudge for a long time after
that one. But it all comes full circle. That's a story.
I'm going to write that down. I'm going to write
that down for a future story. Here it is, and
you remember when I used to work there after college,
because that's when we came together for the first time.

(38:40):
There was a beautiful experience. And yeah, I used to
work at that grocery store, and you still go there
every once in a while, as do I. It's funny
always going back, and I always see these people that
I remember shopping there when I was a kid, you know,
working check out and stuff, and here they are, and
I was like, man, I remember them. They're really old
now and I remember. If they say, boy, I remember
that kid, I probably not. I don't think they remember

(39:01):
me like I remember them. Anyways, long story short or
long story longer, more like it. The story today kind
of goes with that Pieser messy because I've talked about
these freezer cases going down many a time. This is
old school technology back in the day. This story was
probably built in the seventies, with some updates and stuff
throughout the years, but these cases were probably from the eighties,

(39:21):
who knows. So they would go down, they would get
frozen over and stuff, and you know, people would catch it.
I talked about my twenty first birthday, I had to
run in there and de ice them all night. Talked
about the Pieser messy last week this kind of stuff happened. Well,
twenty four hour grocery store, which is nice. I mean
a lot of groceries aren't twenty four hours anymore, but
back then they definitely were. I was not working twenty
four hours. I wasn't working the overnights. But I'll never

(39:44):
forget one day I came in and I'd be in there.
I think I worked like eight to five, eight to
six something like that most days. And then I have
my college classes a couple of days. Long story once again,
but I go in and I noticed something isn't right.
As all the coolers are like one hundred degrees or
whatever it is. You know, they're supposed to be low
zero and there somehow something happened and it went the
other way and it's like blasting heat in there. So

(40:06):
you can imagine what that does to all your frozen food,
your frozen banquet, pop pies, things like that. And it's
all hands on deck, you know, I sound the alarm
to the manager, the director of the star. Something's going on.
Something in the middle of the night. This went down.
Why did the alarms not go off? For whatever reason?
It didn't happen. But you're looking at you know, two
full aisles of product that has you know, been in

(40:27):
this heat or whatever, and it's not gonna last long.
Frozen foods, think of your Swanson dinners. Things like that
are not gonna last long. And this is back when
there was a lot more of those dinners back then
where you put them in the oven for an hour
or whatever. There was a lot of that stuff. And
I'll never forget the whole team we got there and
we dismantled everything. We brought everything out, you know, put
them all into grocery carts and took them back to

(40:49):
the freezer, which like, what's that gonna do. They've already
been dethought, they've basically been cooked in the package because
it was like eighty degrees one hundred degrees in there.
It was ridiculous. And we put it all in the freezer.
And I'll never forget. After we got it done, we
got it cleaned up, you know, they got the cases working.
They had to call in a special team. This was
above my pay grade at this time. They got it
all fixed up and stuff. We had no product. We
had to do a special order. It took like two

(41:11):
days to get it all filled back up. Whatever. But
I'll never forget when we got all done. I remember
the manager pulling me to the side. And I'm about
twenty years old, nineteen twenty years old at this time.
And this manager I learned a lot from, but man,
he was a shrewd businessman and a lot of good
stories from him over the years. But he remember him
pulling me to the side and said, here's what we're
gonna do. We're gonna put all that product back out there.
We're going to put it back out on the shelf.

(41:31):
And I looked. I was like, what, There's no way,
like I felt these things these were withered, the packaging warped,
I mean leaking out. You got gravy and stuff leaking
out of these things. There was no way you could
sell this stuff. And it'd probably kill somebody, is what
would happen. I remember him say we're going to put
it back out there, and I put my foot down,
which thinking back all these years later, a pretty ballsy

(41:51):
moved to do to like a fifty year old man
that's been a director for a long time at nineteen like,
and I said, there is no way I'm putting this
stuff back out on the shelf. There's no way. I thinking,
I wouldn't want my grandparents buying something like this and
probably dying, or who knows what might happen. Maybe they
would have lived, maybe they wouldn't. I don't know, but
I put my foot down and I would not let
them put that back out. And he goes, okay, well,
then here's what I'm gonna have you do. If you're

(42:12):
not gonna do that, this is what you're doing. I
want you to bag them all up in paper bags
stapleum and put five dollars on each bag, and we'll
sell them as grab bags to the employees. And I'm
just thinking, this is what you think of your employees.
You're gonna do this here? And I said, I'm not
doing that either. These are all got to go in
the garbage. And I don't understand why he pushed back
so much, because we had insurance at the store, and

(42:33):
I guess I wasn't deep into the books and the
weeds and all that stuff, but we had to have
insurance to cover this. But maybe he didn't. Maybe he said,
I'm gonna save a couple of bucks not have this insurance,
because you're looking at thousands upon thousands of dollars of
ruined food, of cars. So it was a wild time.
But I remember thinking back, like I think back right now.
I can't believe I stood up to him at that
young early age. This is my boss, this is the

(42:54):
guy that is doing my paycheck. But it's where your
internal compass knows right from wronging you is what that is.
And I knew that was not the right thing to do,
being a frozen food connoisseur of course, once upon a
time job, So a wild time out there on the streets.
And we ended up pitching all that stuff and it
got refilled and it was what it was. But it uh.
I think we must have had insurance because I remember

(43:15):
I'd have to, you know, do my gross and all
that stuff quarterly inventory. And I remember I don't remember
any snannigans around that. So wild time, Angie, wild time.
Any experiences like that in your life working at the
cheese mark?

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Do you imagine if you were to refroze that like
it would have been so disgusting?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Yes? And I am, you know whenever, and I love
a good frozen pizza. I always flip over the frozen pizza,
look at the back on the cardboard. If the cardboard's wet,
if it has grained to it, I know this has
been dethought and be frozen. That's going to be a
bad pizza experience, of course, So I know the ways
in the trickery of the frozen food that there's no
doubt about it, no doubt about it. But that was

(43:50):
quite the time. Once upon a time I almost stabbed
you in the neck, gitting.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Like fuzzies in my nose.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
If I look like I was picking my you're picking it.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
You get some of that a little flurry, he keeps
kidding it.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
You got a little leftover, a little leftover booger sugar
from earlier when you were just taking it to the limit.
You're not done with her, so sleepy. So there it is, Angie.
That's tails from retail. Now it's time for a few
final thoughts. It's time for a few final thoughts, and

(44:25):
of course it's time for a question. We got a
little question of the week here and as usual, you
want to be a questioned of the week, stick it
in the comments down below, Stick it in Angie's mailbox.
Stick it in. That's right, So check your oil. If
you're not careful, watch out, or of course email Angie
at the copeters and show at gmail dot com. And
of course Monster, if you want to sponsor the podcast,
you can do that too. Got a shout out DJC

(44:47):
Collectibles once again. Eight off DJC for sponsoring this podcast
and if you want to sponsor it, hit up the
computers and show at gmail dot com. But Angie, it
is time for the Question of the week.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Okay, all right, Dale crim Hey, guys love the podcas
Simple Channels. You seem to be the busiest man alive
aside from maybe Rock, can you share a day in
the life of Kyle? And also Angie thinks for all
you do dj.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Now you know the Rock. Everybody says the Rock's so
busy and he gets up at three point thirty in
the morning to work out and he never stops, you
never sleeps, and all that kind of stuff. You know
what I say, There's no way the Rocks as busy
as me, because you know what, the Rock has how
many Yeah, he's got tons of money, but how many
personal assistance does he have? You know, you think Rocks
sitting there making his own protein shake. You think that's

(45:29):
all done for him. You think his lunch is He's like,
oh god, I'm starving, I better eat some lunch. No,
he's getting that lunch brought to him. He's getting He's
probably sitting there reading a script and somebody's feeding him
like a baby. I guarantee it. So the rock.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
I'm sure his wife doesn't work. I'm sure she has helped.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, who knows. I mean, I think there's a lot
of shenanigans going on over there. But there's a day
in the life, Angie. You want me to go first?
A day of the life. Now, it depends on the day. Now,
I guess I'll do weekends first. So usually about every
single day, I get up about seven o'clock six forty
five seven am. I used to get a heck of
a lot earlier, but then I started to say, why

(46:02):
am I starting my work day so early at like
six six thirty at the computer when I could just,
you know, start at seven, Because not as many people
are calling me that earlier. There's some, but I can
get back to them. But I'd rather try to be
done instead of working, you know, fifty hours a day,
and is there fifty hours in a day? I somehow
find time for that. But on the weekend six forty
five seven am, I usually wake up and he adie,

(46:24):
what do I have to do the minute I get
up every morning? Do you know look at your phone?
Well kind of yeah, I check, and I always say,
oh yeah, I always said, did I miss something? There's
an email that came in. Did I miss a phone call? Yeah,
I look as close as I'm blind. But I immediately
have to go put my contacts in. I also brush
my teeth right away. I got to brush my teeth immediately.
Then I hop in the shower, get my clothes on,

(46:45):
and then I go immediately to my office. That's where
I go. And well, actually first I let the dogs out.
I feed the dogs. I make my breakfast, which is
usually oatmeal. Make an oatmeal, a very dry oatmeal. I
don't like this wet with all minds. Don't like this
wet oatmeal business. Like a dry oatmeal. I put some
almonds in there, a little bit of honey in there.
I started off with a monster once again, all about

(47:06):
the monster and I you don't really eat again till dinner. Yeah,
you just drink a lot of so I do that.
So then I immediately go into my office and I
sit there for my office and I usually have full
days of conference calls with just minutes in between. Most
of the time, it's and then constant calls coming in
at all times in the day, you know, only answering
those in between, and stuff. I usually don't eat lunch.

(47:27):
I wish I could. I'm usually never even hungry for lunch.
I usually work right past it. I usually will eat
a snack like a Nature Valley granola bar, real exciting stuff.
I'll have one of those somewhere, peanut butter, peanut butter
cracker maybe, and then another monster, usually two monsters deep.
By lunchtime usually is where I'm at, and I'm usually
working around the clock. I'm either on a conference call

(47:48):
or I'm putting a sheet together. I'm putting a cell
sheet together, I'm calling somebody. It's just crazy. Like Angie
leaves today, you know, at like eight o'clock, I'm sitting
at my computer desk. She comes home at like three thirty.
I'm in the exact same position in the computer desk.
I barely got out of there, and it drives me
nuts because I need to get some steps in, I
need to do something, but I'm just chained to the
phone calls and stuff. All day long. We got you

(48:10):
a walking patys used it. I don't know when it's
like too much, because then when it's just too much.
So I sit in this office. You've seen my office
in my toy room tours. I just sit there all
day long. I'm like, why do I spend twelve to
thirteen hours a day in here? But I do? So
I usually sit there. Angie will get home sometimes late afternoon,
it depends if it's summer or not. But she then

(48:31):
goes and gets the kids from school. Usually by that
time I try to get out of the office, you know,
three thirty four o'clock. But like today, I'm sitting in
the office, still their home. I'm still working away and
just came basically from the office to film this video.
But I'm sitting in there till like four o'clock, five
o'clock depending then I'll come talk to you guys, see
what's on. I'll ask everybody at ten thousand questions, how

(48:51):
was your day? What was for lunch? What did you
go on? Nobody wants to hear this shenan against from me.
They don't want to answer those questions. Say, Angie, what
are we doing tonight? A were going on to do?

Speaker 1 (48:59):
It.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
What are we doing? We're going to get a washer
and dryer. What is our plan? So we do that
kind of rigamarole. We'll eat dinner whatever. Usually we'll go downstairs.
But usually before we do that, I will go back
into my office. I'll check on some more emails, do
a little bit of stuff. Angie usually go you'll take
a shower or a bath at night, and during that time,
I'll check my emails, do that kind of stuff. And

(49:20):
I will also do some glamour shots of Angie and
the bathtub. No glamour shots down there for my videos.
Usually when she's showering and getting all that kind of stuff,
we'll take some of those. I'm showering, showering up. We
know what you're up to. And then about seven o'clock
you'll come down, come about yeah, And then she comes
down about seven, and we'll sit on the couch and

(49:42):
we'll watch something and you know, I will usually grab
my iPad and edit videos and we'll sit there and
you know, I can usually multitask. I'll be you know,
on a phone call, watching TV plus doing the iPad,
but Ange'll sit there. She'll scroll on her phone on
one end of the couch. I'll be on the other
end of the couch. We sit there, have our conversation
back and forth, usually me asking a million questions. Angie

(50:03):
kind of painted somewhat attention to me most of the time.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
And then I nouzzle my feet in there, like hoping
to get a.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Fat rub, and everyone wants to watch she gets a
foot rub. Everyone's spent a while. I've been busy. Yep,
I've been busy. But every once a while, you get
a foot rub at night.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
I take my toes at the top of his iPad
like pull it down.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yep, like a young Tom mc farland does that to
me from five to time as well. He'll seem to
stick that big toe in my mouth. It's better than
you think it would be better than you think it. Yeah,
that's true. Check the oil. But then, Angie, you're always
sitting down there in your heated blanket too. She's got
a nice, warm, heated blanket. I asked too much for me.
And usually the dogs are curled up with us, hanging
out or watching TV on the big screen, and usually

(50:40):
it's what do you want to watch? And I let
Angie kind of rule the roost or whatever. But then Angie,
what time you usually turn in for the night. She
usually goes about eight thirty, which is absolutely ridiculous if
you ask me, but don't go.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
I go open and watch.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Is that what they call it these days? Thirty minutes?
And then I go to bed, that's what she calls.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I get up earlier than you, at like five.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Yeah. She gets up five five thirty and then sits
and scrolls on her phone, drinks coffee and doesn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Fixed, and then I have to get the kids up,
get them off.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
There's nothing productive done. Nothing, it's productive to me. It
is because it's because it's waking. It's your time to
sip on your coffee and scroll and do that kind
of stuff and answer show emails. Of course, that's right.
And then so you go to bed about eight thirty.
Usually I'll walk you up, and can I walk you up?
I usually say, let me.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Walk you up, And you try to check my oil
on the upstairs.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
I always do. I check it, just make sure it's proper,
and I'll lubricated. So we usually get that done, and
then uh, usually I'll make a little snack, so I
usually don't. I hardly eat anything like I used to
and every time I see people I haven't seen foreverything, Like, Kyle,
are you shrinking away? What's going on? And I'm just
I'm dying, I said, I'm literally killing myself. Like yeah,
I'm shrinking away. I just don't have time anymore to

(51:51):
eat or do anything. So, uh, where is it going?

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Yeah? I usually get a snack of some kind, and
I'm a big thing that these are people getting. These
people care about my store. Let's really get into a bit.
I'll get some cheese and crackers at night, and that's
what I like. That's a good snack for me. And
I like a sharp cheese, the sharpest cheese you can
get crystals on there. Don't even bother me with three
years old cheese. If you're not five years old, I

(52:15):
don't even want to mess with you. But I'm always
trying to find a really good sharp cheese. And I
just got some one like was it Mediterranean cheese at Fastco.
It's a huge brick, but it like basically crumbles off.
And that's why you knowstle crystals, Like you were saying,
I love that kind of stuff. So I like that
you did like it. I did. It's a really sharp cheese.
But I need to go back my next trip up
to Wisconsin. I need to go one of these Wisconsin

(52:37):
cheese marks up there, and I say, I need to
walk in and say, give me your sharpest cheese stat
But I if anybody's got any good sharp cheese recommendations,
don't give me the Kraft Extra sharp cheese. Don't give
me the Tillamolk cheeses are those are the working man cheeses.
I want something that I can get anywhere in the
United States, but it's got to be sharp. I want
to be I want to like a warning label on

(52:58):
it that this could cut your mouth off. That's what
I want. I want it as sharp as possible.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
So what does I do?

Speaker 3 (53:03):
So it is like some sour kind of makes your
cheek squeak, I don't know what. Really sharp doesn't do
anything in your eye.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Just got a strong just just gives it to you.
You know, like when you get your royal check. Real good.
It's just like that. You know how it is? Yeah,
you you enjoy it. You just you just gotta go slow.
But once you're into it, you're into it. I know
you are with that sharp cheese and everything else. So
it is delicious. I love the sharp cheese, so I'll
put that on a ritz or a trisk it maybe
or maybe just plain. You never know, I might get

(53:29):
wild and just just go straight up raw dogg it
for sure, So I will do that, and then I
will go back downstairs and I'll that's when I'll watch
my wrestling. I'll watch WWE, ae W that kind of stuff.
You know, That's basically what I watch. You know, it's
just and I like that NXT whatever it may be.
I put that on the background while I'm editing videos.
And that's where I get my editing videos. You Paytreon

(53:49):
members know, you're like geez, between ten and one in
the morning, I get video after video because that's when
I get my editing and all that kind of stuff done.
Every single night, kids are all asleep, Angie's asleep, I'm not,
and all that stuff out. So that is my normal day.
Now on the Saturday, it's a little bit different. There's
some of those same shenanigans going on. I wake up
in the morning, I go to my office. I work
Saturday Sundays in the morning for I try to do

(54:11):
about two three hours in the morning, and then I
go and I film, and I film from like nine
o'clock till like four o'clock straight video after video after video,
and then at night, you know, when Angie's showering, I'll
do glamour shots. And then Sunday mornings, I get up early,
I work and then I go and I do more
glamour shots for the videos, and then I film from

(54:31):
like ten eleven o'clock till like four or five o'clock
every single Sunday. So I film film film. I would
hang out with the kids there at the age they
don't want to hang out with me, so they're just
doing their own thing. They listen to kpop doing whatever.
I film, get all that stuff done, edit video, Sunday night,
rinse and repeat. Now, Angie, a lot of that day
involves you, of course, at night time and stuff. So
I don't think you need to do that, but you basically,

(54:51):
like you said, you get up at five five point
thirty and then what scroll on my phone? Scroll on
your phone'll get hell up? Get ready? Do the dogs
ever get like out in this yes, I don't know.
When I go down to make my coffee, you left
that part. It's an important part of the day. Letting
those dogs. Their first p of the day is a big.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
One, and then a shower, my tea yep, pick out
an outfit with all the lights on. Of course I
need to turn them on.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Wake you up, you do, and usually you walk. It's
like a newdist colony. You walk around for a good
hour every morning. It's a wild time.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Ninety percent of the time. I'm walking down the stairs
right by your office.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
It's a wild time. Yeah, it's a wild time for sure.
Down to the laundry room, yep. Back and forth. School work,
So you take the kids, You take the kids to school,
and you do that, drop them both off, come back
and forth. You go work a little bit, depending on
the day. You dabble in some work. Every once in
a while, you help out around the around the block
a time or two. Check a couple of guys, oils,
you know.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
You do that.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
You get your little quick in and out ten minute
loop job going on. Uh. So you do some work
and then you usually done by you know, twelve at
the earliest, probably probably two thirty at the latest, maybe,
depending on what you're going on for the day. So
you'll come home then and uh you'll talk to me
for a little bit, maybe you know, freshen up, do
whatever you gotta do, maybe get a little something to eat.
Maybe I'm telling your story for you. I am. I

(56:10):
am I facting out. You'll usually check the laundry, and
maybe you'll vacuum, Like today you vacuum while I was
on a conference. I'm literally, I'm literally on a call today.
She like kicks the door into the vacuum and I'm
just looking at her, like, Uh.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
You always have like audio going in your Like you're
not really a listen to music during the workday, so
it's hard to tell if you're like listening to a
podcast or something.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
If you're on a call. I'll be I'll be listening
to the Jim Ross podcast or something. So you think
I'm on a call or not on a call, But
today I was truly on a call. Talking busy just
gives me a yeah, it's interesting. Uh but yeah. So
then you get the kids and stuff, and we eat
dinner and all that. Usually we go out to eat,
which we we got to eat way too much, but

(56:53):
it's easy, quick and easy. We're busy. We got so
much going on. We always got to run an errand
we already go somewhere, go get a washer and dryer.
We gotta go to Costco. Got go to the grocery store,
gotta go Target, Walmart, You got a Cohle's return. There's
always something going on. It's just a busy time. We just.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
There's nothing glamorous.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Oh there's glamorous, just at night times when it gets
real glamorous, let me tell you. And we're gonna see
some of that for the Halloween episode. Angie's gonna stun
us all with what she's gonna wear or maybe not.
You never know. She an she don't wear a thing,
is there? You go. That's a cheap costume for sure.
But that's our days. Nothing really crazy going on. And

(57:32):
then obviously everyone's so busy. I mean we hardly ever
there's no time, and I have every minute of my day.
I never and I say that to you lately. I've
said it a few times. You know. I never have
a day where I just sit down or I just
lay on the couch and I just kind of zone out.
I'm always doing something. I'm having a conversation, I'm editing
a video, I'm filming a video, I'm thinking about work,

(57:54):
I'm doing work. There is always something going on twenty
four seven, and I'm like, I don't remember the times
where I used to lay on the ca and you
just lay on the couch and like, oh it's on TV.
I'm gonna scroll through the TV. Like when you're a
kid in the summer, you would do that. Always multitasking,
always multitasking. I'm always doing that. So I don't know.
So we'll see hopefully retirements around the corner and I
can and change some of that. We'll see what happens there.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
You're gonna be bored.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I don't know. Maybe i'd like to see what it's
like though, that's for sure. But that's it. But then
you know, occasionally, like hopefully I can take you to
the Toxic Avenger movie tomorrow. That would be great. We could.
I'd wine and Dina and maybe you know, wine and
Dinya and take you to the Toxic Avenger movie. I
can't wait. We could do that tomorrow. But every once
in a while we'll go out to dinner too, and
and she's pretty you're pretty basic in your meals. It's

(58:37):
like take me to a Mexican place, raising canes or
Chick fil A, which I usually try.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
To feel like so tired by dinner. We can't like overstimulate,
We can't even think about what to eat, so we
always just.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Eat the same things. We grow a steak every once
in a while too. You grow some steaks, some burgers
on the grill and stuff. But I like, you know,
a Chinese. We mixed up with the same kind of
stuff all the time. But you know, you're also stuck
in your neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
You know, we like all our international we do little
Mexican and.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
You said all their oil checks the same, all checks
the same, for sure. But you know we like and
I like pizza place. We don't go to as much
pizza as we used to because nobody nobody likes pizza
anymore except me. It says a sad thing, and it's sad.
So I don't get to go to pizza as much
as i'd like to. But that's it. I mean, that's
probably the boringest.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
You've had enough cheese, have I?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
I don't think I've had every night yeah anymore anymore?
Give me more cheese. I'm not lactosting tolerant, that's for sure.
But that's it. I mean, that's our normal day in,
day out. I would like to go on a vacation.
It'd be good to go on vacation one of these days.
Maybe we'll wait till the kids are gone, until work
slows down. But I'm looking, I got like fifteen days
of PTO and I'm just seeing those go out the

(59:43):
window this year. I'm not even gonna get those days
in Every single year, I give away like three weeks
of vacation. I don't know what. It's ridiculous, but you
don't want to go on vacation because then you come
back and you got two weeks worth of work to
do when you get back. It's just and they don't
leave you alone anyway, I know. And like, you can't
tell five hundred people that you're on vacation. You can
send an out of office reply in your email, and
you can put something in your voicemail, but most people

(01:00:05):
we know it is this ding and they just text you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Well, every day you get a call that says, I
know you're on vacation, but I really need to like yeah,
it's like time sensitive stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
It's like it's just it it burns my brain when
I go to San Diego Comic Con is like I'm
not gonna I'm gonna leave my work laptop. I'm not
bringing any of that, but you know, I bring that
thing and I have to. It's just it's just you're
seconds away from disaster twenty four to seven. There's no
getting away. There is no escape.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Now you close big business deals and that's.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
The thing, and everybody's like busy. You know, there's something
to be said about life a little bit. You know,
it's nice to be at the top of the mountains
sometimes on things and stuff like that, But same time,
the grass could be greener. I mean, there's people out
there that you know they clock in. I always envy that.
I'm like, I can't imagine I'm sacking groceries at a
grocery store. Like when I was a kid. I clock
in at ten am, I clock out at four, and

(01:00:52):
guess what, nobody from work wants anything to do with
me outside of those work hours. That's the greatest thing.
And that's why you don't want to go back to
it over job. That's why you like just to live
in your fun jobs right now. But there's I just
can't imagine that where I'm like, I'm off the clock.
I have no worries, I don't have to think about work.
I don't have to continue to work. I don't have
to work that. There's something to be said about that.

(01:01:14):
Now you might be making ten dollars an hour, fifteen
bucks an hour, but you got peace of mind. But
as they always say, the grass is greener on the
other side, you always want the opposite of.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Everybody climb, climb, climb, comp climbs to the top, and
then they just want to like throw themselves off the cliff.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
And the thing is, when you get to that top
and the days come, and it comes for all of us,
and some more than others. You know, I'm gonna get
thrown off that they're gonna say one day, Kyle, you're
too old, you're too old for this. We're getting ready,
And they're not going to say I'm too old, because
that's discrimination. But it's, oh, you make too much, you
got too much PTO, your health insurance is too much.
Time for you to go. And I fully understand that.
I've seen so many of my mentors over the years

(01:01:47):
all get that. I mean, I hope they give me
a nice severance on the way out. They always give
you a year, maybe two years if you're lucky. They
might say, hey, just keep that company car. We'll see
what happens in the future. But I'm still a young guy,
which is weird. I'm still the young guy around, so
I got I got some time. But that day father
time is undefeated. As they say, he's never lost a fight.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
Oh no, you've become the mentor now.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
I know. It's weird. I was I was working with
a kid the other day. I was working with a
kid the other day. I was twenty years older than
this kid. It was ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
I'm like that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
And one time, like earlier this summer, one guy said, well,
old guys like you, and I said, oh, wait a minute,
old guys, Wait a minute, I'm not an old guy.
But I am, but I'm not. It's a weird it's
a weird stage of life I'm in right now. I'm
in that in between time where I'm definitely a seniored
individual at the company, but I am not in the
gray hair department. So oh, wait a minute, A few

(01:02:41):
a few every once in a while. Oh, you're gonna
be all over me, just like it's not gonna change anything,
that's for sure. There you go. I'll look forward to
that too. This is gonna be some The title of
this episode's gonna be something, Check your oil. Last week
was corn Dogs around the Pool. I didn't even get that.

that's the way it goes. You know how it goes,
You know how it goes. Those people, those people, these
are the good people that are still these people. You

(01:03:24):
are the people. We the people, but the good ones,
the ones that are still sticking around here long into this. No, no,
they're covered up pretty good. You want to bend over,
you give somebody a little bit of a show this week,
a little bit much. There's gonna be some people complaining.
There's gonna be some people complaining this week. There wasn't

I put scrambled eggs and cottage cheese, and I like
mix it.

All together and drink it with a straw.

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
And then I drink it with a lani even though
I'm not supposed to drinking a lawni anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
For you, that's a weird breakfast. I can't imagine mixing oatmeal,
scrambled eggs and what else? Cottage cheese? Oh my gosh.
I love cottage cheese when I was a kid. I
don't like it anymore. I don't like it anymore. And
then what did you eat for lunch? Starbucks?

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
Did I eat for lunch?

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Starbucks? I eat a hot dog? Oh, I'm like to
is that what we call it? Just a hot dogs?
I eat two hot dogs, two hot dogs, and you
took two hot dogs. I can't believe it. Gross? And
then what else? And then an oreo and then an oreo?
There you go. I guess we haven't gotten to dinner yet.

(01:05:44):
This is what I saw.

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
I throw down and we got to eat.

Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
I more than Kyle. I saw that they're in the freezer.
There was a bacon, pepperoni stuffed crust pizza from Giorno
or something. I don't know. So I think you've got
your eyes on that. I do. I don't know you
got your eyes on some sticks of meat. It sounds
like two hot dogs today. Keep out here, but Angie,

(01:06:09):
we learned about that, We learned about cheap trick coming
to town. We learned about me being extremely tired. We
learned about the loose collector mister Hyde figure. There was
a lot learned today. We skipped a deeper die because
I was exhausted, but we also learned about frozen food
shenanigans in the frozen food world. There was a lot
going on in this episode here today. I don't know

(01:06:29):
the length of this one, but there was a lot
going on. There you go, I might try another one
as well. So there it is. That is episode number
