Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:22):
From under the Dutch oven covers of the DJC Collectible Studio.
I'm Midwest professional wrestling legend, Gauge Octane, and now here's
a guy who only needs five hours of sleep every
three business days.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Kyle Peterson. Welcome every one.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Kyle here with my wife Angie. Angie say hello hello.
It is the episode number five of the Kyle Peterson Show.
Can you believe we made five? And Angie, we talked
about it last week. Three is the average podcast. We're
just beating all expectations next week. Next week we're gonna
double it. That's what's gonna happen. We're just gonna blow
things away, of course. But it is episode number five

(01:01):
of the Kyle Peterson Show. Appreciate everybody checking us out
once again. A lot's been going on the last couple
of weeks, and finally the WrestleMania bet is going to
be discussed here today. And Angie, you're a loser. Sorry,
sorry a minute, You're a loser there. And honestly, I
was kind of handicapped in my favor, I think a
little bit because obviously I pay a little bit more

(01:21):
attention to wrestling than you do. But it was pretty
close I think I beat you by one match, and
the other part of that match was a few of
the matches weren't announced when we had to film, as
we had to film a little bit earlier than we
wanted to just because of my no good work life
getting in trouble and getting in the way of things.
I was traveling to Nebraska, Dubuque, Iowa, beautiful this time
of year, beautiful, Dubuke, Iowa. And I did film a

(01:44):
little Q and A for the Patreon from Dubuke, Iowa,
so check that out as well. But we did have
a big WrestleMania bet. We just had to do it
about a week behind. But this is the episode We're
going to talk about the bet and I'm going to
recap WrestleMania. A lot of people have asked for Kyle,
what's your thoughts, what's going on with Mania? I'll give
you it. I'm by no means a journalist as far
as wrestling goes. I'm a person's watched wrestling my whole life.

(02:05):
But I'm gonna give you my thoughts and breakdowns on
WrestleMania and Angie, you can chime in if you want to.
I don't know if you're going to have a lot
to chime in on here. But the bet was if
I lost, I had to wear the ultimate Warrior costume
and drive around the neighborhood on the electric bike, not
just any bike, an electric bike. And then Angie had
to wear something special is what she had to do.
That was my thing. And I was very nice, Angie.

(02:27):
You were gonna be in bra and panties or maybe
some ingerie was originally the plan here, and I pulled back.
I knew you weren't comfortable. You had quite the outfit
you were wearing right here a little bit ago. It
was too hot for YouTube, too hot for a pocket,
it was too hot for an audio podcast, even with
the visuals you were watching. And I said, and you said,
maybe we should save that for the one hundredth episode,
if we make it that far. So in return, I said,

(02:50):
we're going to dial it back and we're gonna let
Angie do something different. And Angie's gonna give a little
bit of a show, a little bit of a show there.
But Angie had to adopt some western wear for one
time only this video. She's got one of the finest
Kenny Rogers western wear from the eighties. Today her and
I both sporting Kenny Rogers. Yes, the Gambler himself western
wear from the eighties. One of my all time favorite

(03:11):
Western shirts. You guys all know, and Angie you know especially.
I like my vintage western wear and Kenny Rogers is
one of my favorite brands. Now. Unfortunately a little asterisk
to this one here. I bought this shirt for myself
and unfortunately too small, did not fit me. And I
was looking at her when when she was putting it
on today, I was a staring. I was just I
was just ogling and staring at it. It is a

(03:33):
beautiful shirt. I love the shirt. This could be my
favorite Western shirt if I could actually fit in it. Unfortunately,
I think I couldn't get past like the third button
on the top. It's just way too tight in the chest.
And it's one of those shirts where if I hulked
it up, it would just rip right out of the back.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
So very unfortunately a woman's large instead of a men's larger.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I don't know it's a men's extra large, but they lied,
I think is what it is. But obviously you get
shirts from the eighties and things, it's a little goofy
and sizing, but beautiful blue against the tan would really
make my eyes pop. This would really make my eyes pop.
It it is good, But Angie, she's wearing it. You know,
she's showing a little, a little just right there.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I feel like.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
She can't buden it. But it does look good. And
Angie got off easy on this big WrestleMania bet, no
doubt about it. But it does look good on you. You
should wear more westernwear too, and maybe I'll let you
ride my horse on the way out of here. Who
knows what are you saying?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Anyways?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Also, I want to give us a fust shot out

But anything else new and noteworthy this week for you, Angie,
Pretty boring week? Just missing me. I heard you were
crying on your pillow while I was in debut and
linked saying when are you coming home? I miss you?

(04:50):
So I bet not. You were probably hitting up Chick
fil A. I'm sure right.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
What did we do? We went to Jason's Belly.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Oh, Jason's Deli for a little salad bar, Chicken Club,
rub he needs some broccoli cheese soup. Oh, the fanciest place.
Free ice cream, free ice cream. And I think Emma
got her head underneath the nozzle and turned it off
and just was going crazy just getting all that ice
cream out of there. But that was it. That was
the extent of what you were up to, man, exciting life.

(05:18):
I had a Happy Joe's Taco pizza and Dubuke and
worked in my hotel room all night, slept about three hours,
got up, did an hour long presentation. Then I had
to drive three and a half hours to another meeting
on the other side of the state. And I did that,
and then I was a zombie last night when I
came home. Remember that I was just a zombie. I
just couldn't even function. Usually I'm usually I'm at a

(05:38):
nine at all times, dangerous, close to a ten. I
was about a four a four yesterday. I was just
I don't felt so run down in a long time.
But that's what happens to Travel will catch up with you,
but there it is. I guess that's the housekeeping for
this week. We got a lot of segments. We got
some wild stories in tails from retail Angie's got a
crazy one and it might taste good as far as

(05:59):
a food sample. This week we got an album of
the week, we got figure of the Week. But first, Angie,
we got to go deeper. Yeah, we do. We've got
to go into a deeper dive. All right, it's time
for a deeper diving. In this week's deeper diving. You
were diving into wrussell Mania, of course, Wreussellmania forty one,

(06:22):
just last weekend as we're filming this right now, we
can change away from when you're probably watching this, But
quite the WrestleMania in all honesty, Angie, not my favorite
WrestleMania of all time, of course, a two night event
which you were just riveted to the TV far you
watched a little bit of it, I think, So feel
free to chime in with whatever you have, but it'll
be mostly me blabbering like usual on this one here.

(06:44):
But diving into mania as a whole, these two night thing,
I just don't know. I kind of like the one
night a lot better in all honesty. It's just feels
more special that way. But I understand it's money to
be made and at the end of the day, as
We always say you put that business hat on, you
follow the money. If there's money to be made, us
what they're gonna do it. Like any business, you got
advertising everywhere, the ring, the turnbuckles, and the crowd and

(07:06):
the stand, you name it. There's advertising everywhere. It gets
to be a little bit much sometimes, but you know
that's just the wave of the future here to everybody
trying to make that all ninety dollars, just like Angian
r OnlyFans, She's trying to make all that money over there,
just supporting the supporting the house and all that stuff.
There you go, but a lot going on for Mania weekend,
a lot to keep track of. It was a long

(07:27):
week into wrestling. You throw in NXT stand and deliver
on there and then if you're watching any of the
indie stuff on top of it, there's a lot to
keep track of. Of course, you can also go to
Mania like I did a couple of years ago, thirty nine.
I think over there in California now it's a lot
more expensive, so she Vegas. A lot of people turned
off by the price point. I totally understand that as well.
But a deeper dive, let's dive into it let's talk

(07:48):
about each match and give my thoughts. First match, jay
Uso versus Guntherro, I can't remember. I don't know if
you watched that one or not. She was yeating all
over the place, and so was I and all honestly,
I was eating all over Angie the whole time, so
it didn't really pay that much attention to it. But
I was just too busy eating. But it was It
was good for what it is. It was an opening match.
Always feels weird to me to see the opening matches

(08:11):
the world title match, but they always say in wrestling
that the first match is almost as important as the
main event. In a lot of ways. It sets the tone.
I understand all that. So you're going off hot with
a heavy hitter. I didn't like the finish, and a
lot of the things that I talk about in here
that I didn't like or I liked. A lot of
that was changed at raw and stuff as we're filming
the smackdowns tomorrow. Some more answers along the way, but

(08:33):
some stuff made sense a little bit later. So I
didn't like Gunther tapping out. He's had a history of
tapping out, so I guess it's not foreign there, but
I would have rather had him just pass out. I
feel like there's more with that, but we'll see where
the story goes. We saw what happened on Raw. They
were all over about tapping out. He was getting into
a McAfee and Michael Cole, so it's a little storytelling there,
so it makes some sense.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're just like, well, you're just rumored by this.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
It is so serious.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
So I liked it.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I knew going in you had to give it to
jay Us. So if he didn't get the title there,
I feel like he would almost I don't know about
been done, but he was riding that momentum train. You
had to get it there, so you had to do it.
Had to give everybody a feel good moment to start
things off. And of course Jacub's so good front of
the channel, as we do know. So I was okay
with that. I was okay with it now.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
And then his brother came out.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
His brother came out, and that's what brought in injury
to tears when Big Jim came out. Big Jim came
out there, and all it was just they should have
Rakishi in there and all that kind of stuff. But
a pretty big win for jay us So we'll see
where the jay Uso rain goes from there. Now, El
Grande Americano was supposed to take on Ray Mysterio. I
believe Ray was really injured or was he not really injured?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
They said they said he was, and I remember saying, oh,
of course, if he's injured, he's not gonna be there
Ray Phoenix. And that's naturally it happened. You just it's
very easy Ray for a Ray, that's the way it goes.
But I wish Ray of course r e y. I
wish Ray Phoenix was r a y to keep him separate.
But they're both are ehy, I believe, I think so. Anyways,

(09:59):
enough for Ray, but Ray Phoenix of course Grande. I'm
here for Chad Gable.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
The thing is he really Chad Gable. But quite the match.
VIKINGO from TRIPAA get involved a little bit there. It
was what it was, I don't know. I guess good
for Ray Phoenix to get his first ever wrestleminga experience.
Just one of those kind of is what it is
kind of matches for me. Now, my least favorite match
of the weekend I think was the War Raiders versus
The New Day didn't really do a whole lot for me.
I felt so bad for the war Raiders because I

(10:26):
loved it when they came out the whole Viking gimmick.
Now they just looked like a couple of bikers. But
then kind of went back at it and it was
part of like a tie in with a video game
like the Clash of Clans. You ever heard of this.
You don't play it, You play it religiously, No, Okay.
They had to dress up in costume for that, and
I felt that was really cheesy and they looked very
dorky on the way out. And then the New Day

(10:47):
I knew had to win that one. I think that
was the right move, but it just felt like it
wasn't that special. I wish Big Eie was there or
something or I don't know, they could have done something
more with it, but it was what it was. And
that's about it for that one. There, La Night versus
Jacob Fatu. Of course, yeah, La Knight lost his US title,
so that was interesting. That was one where you thought
he was going to keep the title. I think it's

(11:08):
weird to me, is I like Jacob Fatwo is the
next guy. He just feels like a guy that doesn't
need a title belt, unless it's possibly the world title belt.
It just feels weird with him as an interconda title.
I really don't think he needs it, and you got
to keep him a little extra special and you don't
want to have him take a pinfall. And I don't
think he's a guy that you're gonna say, well, he's
the intern Condal champion for a year or two years
or something like that. So it just feels a little

(11:29):
bit strait. And he just laughing over and she's like,
what is this talk? You never get this fun wrestling talk.
You never around it, you never gonna see it. So
you're really learning, You're going you're sitting at the learning
tree right here today like young christ Jericho, of course,
but it just felt I don't know, but you couldn't
have Jacob Fatou lose there though, So I would have
been okay with a disqualification or some involvement or something

(11:51):
and not put that title belt. I don't know if
they want La Night now to go to the world
title scene. I just don't know if he's quite ready
for that. And it feels like he's cooled off a
little bit, so we'll see where the all ends up going.
Jade Cargill versus Naomi a grudge match if there ever
was one. Two hated women that just do not like
each other. Jade won, and I got to say it

(12:12):
was a better match than I thought it would be.
Some people said it was like one of their favorite
matches of the weekend. I don't know if I'd go
that far, but good for them having a Mania moment,
a Mania experience. And then two other girls that squared
off Charlotte's of course, Flair versus Tiffany Stratton and Tiffany
looked like she got hit by a bus at the
end of that match. She was looking pretty rough. Her
tooth was ball bloody, and mouth got a footprint on

(12:32):
her forehead. She did retain, which I think was the
right move there. I don't know where Charlotte goes and boys,
Charlotte's getting a lot of hate from all over the place.
It's a wild time. I don't get too worked up
about it. And I mean, it's not like they're hating
on you. Angie. Of course Angie gets no hate, but
I get hate every once in a while.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
It's sad.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
No, they just think because of her plastic surgery.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
She is unrecognizable.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yes she is, and what else all of her marriages
and stuff and her going away. They think she's whole
the young people down and she's needs to retire and
move on. And I don't know, I don't know. I'm
staying out of it. I don't want to get in
the middle of it. I just feel like it's not
my place. It's not my place to get in the middle.
I don't want to make enemies from Tiffany or Charlotte
or anybody else.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Of course, I saw Tiffany confirmed she still had all
her teeth.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
That's good. That's good. And she's a Minnesota girl, not
too far of course, so good for her. She's more
of the future than Charlotte. Of course, Charlotte. I don't
know how much longer they have. And that's the hard
thing about you women. Yeah, you women, you just don't
have a lung of a life expectancy in the ring.
In life you do, but in the ring not so much.
Kind of reminds me of my grandpa. I went visiting

(13:37):
my grandpa at the old nursing home this week with
my dad, and he was kind of upset. You know,
He's like, there's no guys here. You know. I go
to go to lunch at this place and I just
have to sit with a bunch of old zombie women
and they don't talk. They don't they don't want to
talk about the Cubs game and all that kind of stuff.
And it kind of made me think.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
What I was there.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I was like, these guys just don't last long. And
I looked at the dining room. It was around lunchtime.
It was full of women. There wasn't one dude there.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I was like, man, are at home.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I know, I'm I'm carting you off to that nursing
home as soon as I possibly can. That's for sure.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I can't believe. Is he ninety nine? Your grandpa?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, so he's getting he's up there. He's up there,
but he's si doing good. You know, his body starting
to fail, but his mind's still there, that's for sure.
And he's cranky. He was he was dropping some of
the s H word, Yes, the s H word, he
was dropping it left and the rest. Grandpa, Oh my gosh,
keep up and more on that later in this video.
We're gonna we're gonna talk about swear words later and
just so be ready for that. But it was good

(14:34):
to see. It was good to see Grandpas. Eastern week
always good.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
So there it is.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
But the next one here is The main event of
night one was Roman Reigns versus See Him Punk versus
our old friend Seth Rollins. It's funny as Angie doesn't
even really remember Seth Rollins back in the day when
we used to go to the independent shows around here
and he was on those shows. So it's funny, funny
how time changes, mister Harry Potter himself. But quite The
match there, of course, started off with Living Color playing
CM Punk to the Ring. Pretty cool to see Corey

(15:00):
Glover and of course Vernon Reid playing the Boys to
or the Boy See Him Punk to the Ring. Living
Color always a really good band, a little bit of
a one hit wonder but not really but really in
the grand scheme of things like you, Angie, oh, I
know that song. I don't know if I know anything
else one of those bands. It was all right. I
think that worked out pretty good. Pretty fun for seem
Punk for sure as well, So that was good. The

(15:22):
match very predictable along the way. Neither of us picked
Seth Rollins, though I thought they were gonna go some
other way with it. Have see him punk win, but
have the big turn or something. But man talk about telegraphed.
I think we all saw Paul Hayman, especially in the ring,
Paul not moving so good. But who is moving so
good anymore? I'm definitely not moving so good. My knees hurt,
my hip hurts, my back hurts, I'm dying, I'm falling

(15:44):
apart on. Rollins won, and then Paul Hayman took over
his services and he serviced Seth right there in the
ring by two nut shots to Roaman and see him punk.
So it was all coming up nutshots in that match.
So it was a little bit rough there, and it
makes sense. It'll be interesting to see where Seth goes
from there. Obviously, they added bron Breaker to the group

(16:06):
on Monday Night Raw, so you got those two. A
lot of people making comparisons like the Four Horsemen or Evolution.
Of course, when you used to watch wrestling, Evolution was
running hard when we were younger watching it with Batista,
Rick Flair, rand Yorton and Triple H. The good old days,
The good old days were before that but still I
really think they'll probably add Becky Lynch or a female

(16:27):
to that. That makes a lot of sense. Of course,
Seth and Becky being married, of course, neighbors of ours
down the road not too far. I could see that happening.
Adding Becky Lynch with her heel turn and we'll get
to that here in a second. And then you got
to think there's maybe gonna be one more member along
the way. So I don't know, that's just spitballing there.
And Andie, you loved spitball. I love the spitball for sure.
We'll see what happens with that one, but Roman and

(16:50):
you know, it'll be interested to see where all that goes.
It really feels like the bloodline is done. Poor Solo
didn't even have a match on the card. Of course,
Tomatanga and all the rest of those guys. What's gonna
happen there? Big Jim of course mentioned him. Just feels
like the bloodline is nowhere anymore. I don't know where
they're gonna go personally, Angie and I think we talked
about this, and I think you agreed that Jimmy Usso
should form a team with maybe Zillah Fatu I think Zilla,

(17:14):
there's a lot of rumors he's coming in. I think
that makes sense. You get a young Samoan dynasty member,
you put them with Jimmy. Jimmy a tag team specialist,
gives Jimmy something, let them work together for a while,
then maybe have a breakup. See where that goes. Maybe
the USOS will reunite. Who knows, but I think that's
a natural progress. And I knew you were right on
the same page with me.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Gimme one with all the kids, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
I think Jay's got a bunch of kids too, you know,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think they both got kids.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh that's Jacob Fat has all the kids. The Samoan werewolf,
those werewolves there.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
You never knows.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yes, But there's Night one. It was okay, it was
It was just really okay for me. It didn't blow
me away. It's one of those things worth watching once.
I don't foresee myself ever going back and watching that episode.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
I definitely went to bed early. You did.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
You went to bed about seven thirty, I'm not mistaken.
But then Night two started off, and it had to
start off with the title match once again. It was
EO Sky of course the former EO Sharai Bianca and Ria.
I thought that was maybe the match of both nights.
That was probably my favorite match of both nights, So
kudos to all of them. EO one personally, I felt

(18:21):
like Ria should have won it to be interested to
see where all that goes in the future as well.
I'm more of a Bianca and Riha fan than I
am EO. But you know who loves EO. My daughter
el she loved it when she was EO Sharai. Oh,
she loved those days for sure. I don't know is
what it is. We'll see where the women go from there.
But I thought that was the best match between both nights.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Did you see that? Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Did she? She posted it hard times, hard times.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
It's funny just talking about this lately, my phone popping
up all these WW people to.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Like, when I went to Kansas City, I was trying
to find a restaurant in Kansas City. Now I was
getting all those recommendations for kans City restaurants for like
a week after I left towns. So the same thing.
Now you're getting all this wrestling action. Before you know it,
you're gonna be down on the couch watching wrestling with
me every week, who knows, Probably not. Next up Angie's
favorite match with the card, AJ Styles, a guy that
has styles for Miles as we do know, against Logan Paul,

(19:13):
the one she has the crush on over here. Angie
loves Logan Paul. No, she hates Logan Paul, So once again,
a good match is just Logan Paul doesn't do anything
for me for whatever reason, but it is what it is.
He's pretty athletic for a guy not coming in and
wrestling and all that kind of stuff. AJ is going
to be his last wrestle Mania good friend of the channel.
Carrying Cross showed up just missing me. There were people

(19:35):
accommodated wors Kyle, you got AJ, you got Carring Cross.
It's kind of like the evolution right there of us three.
It's like the Bermuda triangle where we're like the Spider
Man pointing at each other a little bit. Who knows,
but it was good to see Carrying Cross. We'll see
where he goes in the future. Sounds like he's on
the uprise. Logan you never know what's gonna happen with
him and then AJ. I don't know where AJ Style
goes he's a little bit lost in the sauce, is

(19:55):
what it feels like going to be interested with the
TNA partnership. I think they need to move over there
at least for one night, to get that huge pop
do something. It'd be cool to see him win the
TNA title again. I don't know if that's possibility, but
it was what it was. That wasn't the greatest thing now,
Damian Priest versus Drew McIntyre, that was pretty cool with
good friend, good friend Carrie King. Of course, Kerry King

(20:16):
and I going way back to our Jegermeister days. You
don't talk about those Jegermester days.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
But good is he?

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Kerrie King on WrestleMania. I'm a big Slayer guy. That
being said, his guitar tone was absolutely atrocious. I thought,
I don't know what was going on at the beginning there.
It was like it didn't get worked out or something.
There was some kind of issue. I felt it didn't
sound pleasing to my ears like carry King usually does.
But was what It was cool to have a street fight.

(20:41):
I think Drew winning is the way to go there.
I feel like Drew's been just kind of all over
the card. Is he ever gonna get the title again.
It's just he's one of those guys that's a big,
big deal. But something seems to be missing. We talk
about it in a lot of the figure reviews, which
I know you check out all those figure reviews. I do,
But Drew's very like a big jacked up dude. He's
just missing something. As far as being Toyota, it's like

(21:02):
the same figure all the time. There's not a lot
you can do with it. Or a Ray mysterio, you
can change things all the time. Even Roman rains you
can change things a lot of the time. So Drew
just feels like there's not as much going on, but
is what it is. But I do think that was
the right move. Having Drew mcattyre win the next one,
did you say his name? And he appeared with Joe Hendry?
Were you watching that one? And she'd never heard it,
and she'd heard my kids and me singing the song

(21:24):
around the house, so then she put two and two
together with that one there. But it was Randy Orton's
mystery opponent. Personally, I thought it was a waste man.
I thought Joe Hendry just size and them two standing
in the ring together you realized how big Randy Yorton
really is, and it really looked like a superstar versus
a guy that walked off out of the stands. That's
kind of what it felt like to me. Nothing is

(21:45):
Joe Henry. I've enjoyed Joe Henry since I first saw him,
and Ring of Honor. I think the gimmick of the
songs and all that, there's a lot to that. But
you know, people going both ways about it, talking about
it and stuff, saying, hey, the TNA champions shouldn't have
been squashed like that on Mania, but I totally understand that.
I wouldn't have done that either. I think what they
should have done is had Russev, who returned the next day.

(22:07):
I think he should have re debuted, had those guys
squaring off, having a little bit of a match, then
Russev getting involved, squashed Randy Orton, squashed Joe Henry, show
Rusev off. But of course the next night on Many
or on Raw, they showed Randy Orton John Cena that's
the next way to go. So you really couldn't do
that if that was the plan. But I felt like
you shouldn't have squatched Joe Hendry because I really think
WWE is gonna just fully buy TNA if they haven't already.

(22:30):
I do think that is in the cards. But it
just felt like Joe Henry looked very small, very weak.
A quick basic squash match with a champion. It's just
never a good look to me personally. I think they
could have done something, or something could have been done
differently or had a different opponent. Obviously, but you know,
you think you're right here, you think you're wrong there.
He's just never know, So it is. It is what

(22:51):
it is at this point. You usually I do believe,
but I stopped believing a little bit. Is I really
he just really didn't look like he was in the
same universe as and Yorton to me, the size wise wrestler,
it just looked weird. So I don't think that was
a good look. But the pop was cool, the entrance
was cool, so we'll give him that. And then we
saw him on NXT this week as well, so he's
still around. He's playing with Trick Trick Williams.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
We're gonna add that one in as a tiebreaker. That
was in there, but we both thought.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Orgon, yeah, yeah, that's right, because we didn't have that,
so we were gonna have that as a tiber. It
didn't happen. The next one with another surprise there was
Lyra Valkyria had to get a mystery partner. Bailey got hurt.
As they said, I called that immediately. It was gonna
be Becky Lynch. Those two have a long history together
over the NXT title things like that they're friends and
then they're both from the same the Old Country as

(23:37):
it's known in some circles.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
So I saw.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Becky being that but live and Raquel, you know, it
made sense for them when the tag titles and we
saw an raw flipped back and we saw Becky turn
into a bad guy, bad girl and beat up old
Lyra Valkyria.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I really like Lyra.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
I don't know, maybe not everybody does, but there's something
about her. I don't know what it is.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Becky has a heels good there you go, Vicky so
and she's looking good? Well was she looking good?

Speaker 3 (24:01):
You're very turned on by Becky lin We're very attractive.
So that was interesting. We'll see where Becky goes. Makes
sense if they put her with Seth and Paul Hayman.
I don't know if they will but I think that's
a good idea. Then we saw Penta versus Braun versus
Finn versus Dom, Dirty Dom getting the wind. I didn't
think that was gonna happen. I felt like he doesn't

(24:22):
need the intercontinental title. I don't know, just strange to me.
I shouldn't say strange, but gonna be interested to see.
Obviously setting up him and Finn in the big feud,
I think that is to come here, you protect Braun,
a breaker, which they needed to because of especially what
happened on Monday night with him being the new Paul
Hayman guy. So that made a lot of sense. Same
thing with Penta made sense to protect Penta. So's gonna

(24:44):
be interested to see where that goes in the future
with Finn and Dom. And we know where Penta and
Braun are kind of off on different paths right now.
And then the last match of the night was John
Cena versus Cody Rhoades. Two good friends colliding. You hate
to see it. It's like when you got friends and
they don't get along. You want have we want to
go out to dinner, but these two friends don't like
each other, and you're just stuck in the middle. That's

(25:04):
where I was on that one there, and I gotta say,
absolutely god awful match. I hate to say it. I
thought it was terrible. It was slow, it was plotting.
I like both of them, but man, oh man, that
Travis Scott said the man it irks me. And obviously
Travis Scott is not for me. It's not for me.
It's not my demographic. I don't I still don't know
who he is. I hear him on this kind of stuff.

(25:25):
I keep hearing. Is he the Cactus Jack guy. There's
only one Cactus Jack for me. It's not him, So
I don't know what's up with that, but it just
makes no sense to me. And then you have Travis
Scott in the middle of the match, have an entrance
and take like twenty minutes to get to the ring
like that.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Ref got like knocked out, but barely.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Like he should have been up in those twenty minutes.
He comes out and he does like an undertaker entrance.
He just slowly walks to the ring. But it would
mean something more if he looks like he could fight
his way out of a paper bag, and he couldn't.
He's just a little guy. He's not gonna hurt anybody
like the ref could take him. It's just absolutely while
to me. He comes out, Cody gets his revenge and
all that kind of stuff, and then John just wins. Gosh,

(26:05):
it was just rough. Now, of course we'll see where
the story goes, what happens with Cody. What's gonna happen
with Cody? Doesn't look like there's gonna be a rematch
here with backlash. I don't know where it's all gonna go.
But man, I was really bummed on that one. I
thought it was really really a rough main event. Give
me interested to see with Sena. I understand where they're going,
but you have rock merchandise. Everybody thought the rock would
come out, you know, rock setting stuff up, and then

(26:27):
it came out like rock was an interview on Pat
mcafe show. There was no plan it was it was
even if that's the case, why would you tell that
to everybody? It just made things work look even worse.
Just a rough, rough main event, right there, not a
way to close the show. Usually many you close it
with a good feeling. I guess you could argue that
Sena getting that record world title is a good feeling,
but man, oh man, hard times disappointment as a whole

(26:49):
for Mania. Glad I watched both nights. I'm not gonna
be going back rewatching it like rustle Mania and six,
which I've seen ten thousand times in my life. But
it was what it was, and that was WrestleMania weekend.
Ange you probably don't have anything really to add to that.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I'm guessing so overwhelmed.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
She's so overwhelmed. Well, we'll do it again next year, Angie.
We'll see what happens next year full on Lingerie. I'm
guaranteeing it right there. So there it is. That's a
deeper dive. But now we got to get into it.
We gotta get into the figure of the week, all right, Angie.

(27:32):
It's time for Figure of the Week where I dive
into a figure of the past and I talk a
little bit about it here in this episode. And Angie,
today we got a special one. We just got done
talk on WrestleMania. My favorite ever WrestleMania obviously will always
be WrestleMania six. That was the height of my wrestling
fandom by far. I remember being so pumped up for
Mania six, Hogan versus Warrior, Team Warrior all day long,

(27:55):
where everybody else in the school. They were all Hogan,
and I was the guy that everybody's like, Kyle was
crazy AULTI Warrior is never going to be thrown Hulk Hogan.
I was telling everybody He's going to do it this weekend.
I'll see all you boys on Monday and we'll talk
about it, and went back and forth, and I'll never
forget walking back into school. It was really the trumphant
moment in.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
My entire life, Aimlock. It was if there ever was.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
And I walked in there, I said, I told you,
I told you, I told you, I told you what
was going to happen. Altimate Warrior. He unified the belts,
the inter content of the world title. And there was
some people saying that I said that it was the
biggest thing to ever happen to Toronto, not just wrestling,
but anything in the world for Toronto was Warrior Hogan.
Then somebody, a couple of people even said though that

(28:35):
it was Hogan versus Rock was a bigger match, and
I said, there's no way. Warrior and Hogan back then
was such a big deal. Hogan and the Rock wasn't
even the main event of WrestleMania that year. So you
got to take that, and then unification of the Belts,
the passing of the torch, if you want to call
it that. There was a lot going on with Hogan Warrior,

(28:56):
and obviously Rock versus Hogan was a big deal, but
it was nowhere near with Warrior and Hogan almost in
their primes together where Hogan Rock Hogan was all but
done at that point and Rock was already a made
man by that point as well. So totally different scenarios
if you ask me. But anyways, Kyle, stop your jibber
jabber and let's get down to the figure of the
week in honor of that match. Of course, the most

(29:18):
triumphant action figure purchase of my entire life.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Is dramatic.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
It is the LJN Grand Toys Ultimate Warrior. If I
could save one action figure in my house, this would
be the one. I would say.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's so good to know what the house is on fire? Rich, Yeah,
what I should grab?

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Good to have that written down there, But you should
probably grab my life any My one of twenty Ultimate
Warriors probably financially is a better grab. But this one
met so much to me when I got this as
a kid, I just could not believe that I had
an Ultimate Warrior figure. You got to put yourself in
this where Ultimate Warrior never had a figure before. And I'm,
you know, eight nine years old when I got this thing,

(29:56):
maybe even younger than that, but I was absolutely blown
away with the Baltimore and you could only get it
out of the back of the magazine because it was
basically a Canadian exclusive. Got it out of the back
of the Wrestling Figure magazine, and I got Big Boss Man,
I got Andre Blackstrap, I got Haku. I did not
get Rick Rude told that story before, I did not
want any part of that one. But this Warrior like
it brings tears to me right now, Like well enough

(30:18):
thinking about this as just put yourself in being a
little kid, the thing you love the most. You're playing
with your wrestlers. Twenty four to seven. You're out of school,
You're immediately playing of wrestlers to get your absolute favorite
wrestler for the first time ever and putting him into
your fig fed to get to play with everything. Oh
my god, I don't think I left my room for
a week. I think my parents were putting like bologni

(30:39):
under the door for me for something to eat because
I was having and you know, Warrior won the world
title that night. He got that tired about never lost it,
of course, but it was such a game change, and
I still remember just just could not believe how excited
I was, and such an injection into my fig fed
playing as a little kid, how big of a deal
it was. So this one, whenever I see this, I
always go to being that eight year old little kid,

(31:02):
just so excited, having so much fun watching wrestling and stuff.
So just very very cool, just still very cool. And
then the cool thing about this one here to bring
it full circle this weekend at WrestleMania, Mattel obviously announced
a ton of new figures. We did a video on
my YouTube channel cheap plub check that out if you've
missed it.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
But Warrior was.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Announced part of the Colisseum collection. They are reimagining this
Warrior in the ultimate style. So it gonna be very cool,
very full circle wrestling moment. And maybe I'll stop collecting
figures when that comes out. Maybe that's the end of things.
So I knock over the mic, that's the end of things.
Maybe at the end is it's just a full circle
moment for me. So we'll see what ends up. Happening
about it would be amazing. What would you do?

Speaker 2 (31:42):
What would you do?

Speaker 3 (31:43):
But there it is, Angie that is the figure of
the week, just an absolute game changer if there ever
was one. It is the Grand Toys LJN Ultimate Warrior.
But now, Angie, we got to go to your big segment. Here,
we got a dangerous one this week. It's time, Angie,
it's time to try new foods because I taste good.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
We got taste good.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
All right, It's time to try new foods because it
might taste good. And the old sweetheart of the rodeo
right here, Angie, she got us something amazing this week.
And I don't know. This could be the most dangerous
taste test we've ever done on the channel, definitely in
the last five episodes. But somebody in the comments said
we need to do more different things outside.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Oh they didn't say that.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
They said you should do some fancier foods and some
different stuff. And ang it doesn't. It doesn't get fancier
this and this is something obviously everybody's heard of, but
I have never tried this in my life. You've never
tried this ever. I don't know what we're getting ourselves into.
With this one. I can't imagine it tasting that good,
but it is many places. It is a delicacy, as
we do know, Angie, take it away. What do we

(32:56):
got here today? Oh my gosh, she's got it ready,
she's got caviar. This is gonna be fishy fish eggs.
I believe.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's where we got to start.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Oh my gosh, I'm literally and Angie is not as uh.
You'll put a lot of stuff in your mouth, that's
for sure, but there's some things you just don't want
to put in your mouth.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
I'm not a weird texture thing, but I'm not fish.
I don't I'm not a fishy person.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Fish I am.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
I love fish.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
I love fish, love salmon, love halibit. I love catfish.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Fish smell around here, No that's true, that's true. Smell.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
It smells like flowers, no doubt. But this is gonna
be interesting. So this caviar, so fish eggs, I believe
is what caviar is. I almost feel like we need
like a cracker or something to go on. Maybe grab
a grab something, and she just cant get up. Look
at this beautiful little little motorhead. We might need something.
I don't know what people put on caviar. I think

(33:58):
I usually see people put like a little wave for
down or something. I don't think you put it on
cheese or whatever. But we do got some wheat thins here,
the fanciest of crackers, of course, I guess Nabisco once
upon a time for me, I think I'm gonna use
that as a little bit of a chaser right there,
and maybe I do have, of course, a can of
White Monster just in case a monster. What are we doing, monster,

(34:19):
Let's stop beating around the bush, Let's get down to it.
Let's fully sponsor this channel. I've talked to a few
of you guys over there at Monster. We'll see if
we can get this going here, of course, but more
on that in I want to smell this real quick
then jokes right themselves.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
I'm so scared right now.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
It doesn't smell tear.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
I don't know what are you going to eat it
on a cracker?

Speaker 3 (34:41):
I think I'm just gonna eat it plain because I
don't want to, and then I'll chase it with a
cracker if I have to. But of course there's a
lot of little It almost looks like a raspberry or
a BlackBerry. That's been kind of smushed around.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I mean, it has that look I don't really get.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
What's your smell?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Not good?

Speaker 3 (35:01):
I can't wait to see Angel.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
My mouth is watering like in a bout.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Oh not a good way. Okay, okay, I got no
problems trying this. I'll try anything once. I got no problem.
I'm the guy in one of these story how I
went up in front of my college class to get
a full letter grade better by eating a handful of bugs.
We'll tell that story in the future as well. But
let's do it cheers, and we're gonna rate this out
of what five? Yeah, it's gonna be a five out

(35:26):
of five for sure. Ready, one, two, three.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's not bad.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
It's extremely really salty, which is like little bubbles O
tiny bubbles.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Okay, it wasn't as bad as I thought that it
was good either.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
It really tastes like a lot. It tastes like little
balls that like open but very salty, very salty. These
are what I'm saying, like fish, eggs or something I
think is what they are.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
I've eaten worse things.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Does it taste better with some of this.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I don't know if I know, you gotta eat more
good thing. We got a fancy guest coming, Jeff can
finish that. I don't know. It's not terrible.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
It's not like it's not edible. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
It's not as bad as I thought.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
I don't understand why people are all in on caviar
though I don't.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
I guess I don't know anybody that's all in on caviar.
I think it's a made up thing. I feel like
I need a monocle if I'm eating this kind of
I don't know. To me, it didn't really taste like anything,
just like salt. So can I put this on my
pizza to get little extra salt?

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
I don't know. You like salty stuff too. I believe
you know she you love a good salty shot of
salt in your mouth. But the caravvy are I don't
know what you're ready.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Out of five one point five, I would I don't
get it.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
I give it a zero. It's just I wouldn't put
it on anything. It doesn't do anything for me. It's
not like it's like I don't think it is like
full of protein or anything. Maybe it is I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Like amino acids or what do you get from like,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
You can help my cartilage.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I was kind of hoping it was like god awful
that I like might throw up on the desk or
you might puke or something. That would have been kind
of nice, but kind of nowhere near what I thought
it would taste like. I thought it would kind of
have like a it would like pop in your mouth.
It really didn't do that. I don't know. Caviar who
to thunk it? But tried it today we got to
try new foods. We finally tried the caviare and got
to say, I'm giving a zero out of five. It

(37:43):
wasn't terrible. Nothing for me, nothing for rich they are
they rich people that just needed on their crackers every night,
is what it is. Anything else? All right, now we
got it all timer. It's time for tails from retail.

(38:06):
All right, It's time for tales from retail. And this
is where we dive into some of the stories, some
of the history of me working in retail since day
I was fourteen, both sides of the fence, working for
grocery stores, working for suppliers working for some major companies
you put in your mouth every single day. But today
we're gonna have an interesting story. And Angie, you don't
know about this, but feel free to chime in. I

(38:26):
like to keep Angie in the dark on a lot
of these topics so she can get her reaction and
chime in with some things from time to time. But Angie,
today we're talking about Chinese food. You're familiar with Chinese food,
of course, so me, starting as a very little kid
when I was fourteen years old, about when I was fifteen,
our grocery store got a Chinese in their restaurant, like

(38:48):
a Chinese restaurant in there. They were really paving the
way for the future of a lot of these grocery
stores with restaurants and things like that. They always had
a traditional restaurant, but they added an Italian, they added
a sandwich shop, and then they added a Chinese thing. Now,
Angie and I both growing up in the Midwest, and
a lot of people think, oh, you're in cornfields and
stuff like that. Well, Angie a little closer to that

(39:08):
maybe as a kid than I was. I was in
the big city. I was in the big city so
I was a city boy there.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Of course, we came on our vacations.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Yeah, yeah, they came to the big city on vacation
where I lived it every single day. I was from
the mean streets, the West side KP fighting for his
life every single day. That's a story for another day,
of course. But Chinese food as a kid, and I
don't know if that's my dad. I don't remember my
dad ever taking he never did. We never went to
Chinese place. If we went out to eat, it was
usually twice a week. He'd bring home like a pizza

(39:37):
Hut pizza or a little Caesars or something on a
Friday night, which ever kids dream, of course, and then
maybe occasionally we'd go to McDonald's or a Burger King
or a KFC or a Long John Silver's or something
maybe one time during the week or something like that.
But that was pretty much the extent of our out
to eat meals. It wasn't anything fancy because you're a kid.
You don't have the caviar taste when you're a kid,
of course, But I was talking about the grocery. So

(40:00):
when I was fifteen, they put in a Chinese department
and I had never had Chinese in my life, and
I'd heard of Chinese food, and of course you got
to put yourself in like, you know, however long ago.
That was a long time ago. When I was fifteen,
you had to put all that in perspective, and Chinese
food felt a lot more foreign than it does in
this day and age where my daughters are daughters. I

(40:21):
guess I think they're both of ours. I think I
got to know if I want to play them. But
they they you know, eat Chinese. It's no big deal
for them, you know, at eighty years old. Get you know,
they were probably eating at like five years old. It
was no big deal for them. But when I was fifteen,
I'm like, whoa, and I'm looking all this stuff. It
looks so foreign. Of course, now, if you were in
a bigger city or you're from China, you probably have
Chinese food every day. You're from China. Any food you eat,

(40:43):
there's Chinese food. Technically you could have a burger over there.
But look at that, it was very like, what is this?
I don't know. And I used to be a pretty
picky eater when I was a kid, and a lot
of Chinese stuff you mix and match, you mix the
rice and stuff.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Anyways, I'm looking at.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Like, what is this? But I felt like I needed
to try it, so I said, Okay, this Chinese food forever,
I'm finally gonna try it.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
And I did.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
And what did I try? What do you think the
first Chinese out of all the usual standard Chinese things,
what do you think I went with?

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Oh, probably a same chicken or.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
What looked so like as a little kid, you didn't know.
I didn't even know what sesame was. So when you
look at the case, you're gonna say, oh, yeah, for sure,
I I know it.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
That's exactly what it was. So I was like, I
like beef.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
I like BROCOLI I've always like bro Yes, that makes sense.
I'm like, I'm gonna get this beef in broccoli. So
I remember getting it, eating it for the first time,
you know, you and Rie some soy sauce and I'm
diving in and it's obviously that's a pretty plain gene
still to this day Chinese meal.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
H I enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
I sat there on my break and I ate it
and it was all good. I think I only had
to pay like two dollars for it because I was
working so that was a great deal too. But what
do you think happened? Later that night? I got food
poisoning from my first ever Chinese. I was puking my
guts out all over my parents' house. Back then, it
was just it was horrible. I'll never forget it. I

(41:58):
was down for like two days. It was rough, and
I said, man, I'm never eating Chinese food again. I'm
never eating a gega in. So that was a terrible experience.
And I was like, oh, this Chinese is terrible, all
this kind of stuff. And I got so sick. I
remember one of the worst sicknesses I ever got. And
it took me a few more years. And you know,
a kid working at the grocery, I was working there
all the time, and you got your meals really cheap.

(42:20):
You can only eat so many slices of pizza, well Canyon,
I don't know, but you can only eat so much pizza.
You can only eat so much fried chicken from the
deli and stuff. I finally ventured back over to the Chinese.
I said, I'm gonna try it again. I'm gonna do it.
This is like two years later or so. Now Luke
was in charge of Chinese. He was a guy from
I believe, Vietnam, and I think he was on the
good side of Vietnam. I think so, he said, but

(42:42):
we're gonna get to this. He might have been on
the bad side. He could be working in the Mattel
factory and more on that. But the guy's name was Luke,
and he was an interesting character for sure, a dangerous guy.
He was one of those guys that you looked like, Okay,
he's killed some people.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
He has, and he did.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
He said he killed people over at Vietnam. So he
was a dangerous, dangerous guy. But I went over there
again and I saw something else that caught my eyes. Said, Okay,
last time I got sick on this broccoli beef, I'm
not going there this time. I went with an absolute
wild card that he had in there. And it's a
very hard to find Chinese meal. Still to this day
you can still find it. But it's one of my favorites.
And you've seen me eat at a time or two.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
It is.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
I'm not even gonna make you guess. It's lemon chicken.
So lemon chicken pretty good. I mean, it's almost like
this grocery store they would make everything. It's like sweet
and Sour chicken, sesame chicken, General Child's ticket. It's all
like the chicken like nuggets, and then they just put
the different sauce on. It's basically what it was, but
they put it on the lemon sauce here and I
tried the lemon chicken and it was an absolute game changer.

(43:41):
I absolutely loved it. I was like, oh my, this
is the greatest thing I've ever tasted. I love this
lemon chicken. So then of course, all my guys I'm
working with and my frozen dairy thing, all my buddies
that we work, you guys gotta try this lemon chicken.
It's the most amazing thing ever. I think one of
them was working with me that day, so on his
break he went and got the lemon chicken and he's
raving about it as well. We're loving this lemon chicken.

(44:01):
It was just so good, so good, and you just
don't see lemon chicken. You can go to Chinese restaurants,
usually on the menu, or you can ask for it.
They can get it to you, but for whatever reason,
they like to hide that lemon chicken. But anyways, the
next time I worked, I told the other buddies. We
got to get this lemon chicken. So I go all
on my break, I go up to the case. I
look in the case, Angie, what do you think I
don't see in there? There's no lemon chicken. So I said, Luke,

(44:23):
where's the lemon chicken? No lemon chicken today, no lemon chicken.
And he Luke couldn't really speak English. It was very broken,
in very few words. I'm like, Okay, it's just for today,
there's no lemon chicken or whatever. So next day I
go to work, I go up to Chinese. I'm just like, oh,
today they're gonna have that lemon chicken. No lemon chicken. Luke,
where's the lemon chicken? No lemon chicken? Livon, I'm like, Luke,

(44:44):
you gotta make the lemon chicken. And my buddy cars
only we talked about Scott Chase, all these guys I
worked with, and the Frozen, the dairy and stuff. Guys,
we all want the lemon chicken. We all want it.
We're willing to pay, we're paying customers, and you know,
Luke and all, we're not making it. It's too hard,
it's too complicated. We're not making the lemon chicken. So
I was pretty mad about it. But but I worked

(45:06):
at this grocery chain. I mean I could tell I
guess I could say the name. Can't I still work
with them? Can I say the name? I could say
that it's High V Foods.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
I V is what it was.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
And they're internationally known for their good Chinese. It is
wild to me because you always see like the best
of the best of foods, the best all this, and
they win the Best Chinese every single year, and it
just I don't know if I agree with that, but
they win it every year. So the Chinese is pretty good,
especially in a pinch, especially back then for like two
bucks or whatever it was, if you were an employee.

(45:34):
But he would not make the lemon chicken. And I
was all worked up about it because we all wanted
the lemon chicken. So I knew being working for this
grocery store, you know they want to take care of
the customers. To this day, they want to take care
of their customers. So what do you think I did?
You know where this is going. I've never told you
the story either, So what do you think I did?
And this is back for Caller Id's and all that

(45:54):
kind of stuff. So go back into the office and
I would call the store and I would pretend I'm
in a customer and say, hey, I need to order
lemon chicken to go.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
So that's what we did.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
So we got like four of them for all the guys,
so we can all get our lemon chicken fixed. And
this is the one where you had to take care
of the customer. And I got stories for days about
having to go above and beyond to take care of
the customer. I mean, we'll save those. I'm gonna write
that down. I'm going to write it down for a
future topic, take care of customer, because that'll be a
story for another day with the CEO of the company,

(46:26):
So we'll tell that story. That was an adventure if
there ever was one. So anyways, the hard part I
call it in I call it the order. We're all like,
oh yeah, we're getting our lemon chicken. And a couple
of guys never even tried it yet, so we were
all excited about this lemon chicken. But then it hit me, oh, no,
what do we do Because he knows it's us, he
knows we work here, We come up there, ask for
the lemon chicken to go. He's gonna be like, oh

(46:48):
my god, we got to get somebody else up there
to do it. But this is before I had a
cell phone. I think only like Zach Morris is the
world and the poly dangerously had had the cell phones.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
There was no cell phones.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
I was like, there was no way I could get
this without giving the tip off. So I had to
saunter up there and pick it up. And he was furious, furious,
and he's.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Like, you guys, you lemon chicken.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
No, you're not getting this lemon chicken. And he gave
it to us, had a spite though he probably spit
in it. Who knows what happened. And we'll get more
into this loop here. This loup is a dangerous individual.
But we got our lemon chicken. And he refused to
have a message. See, you can make it, you can
do all this stuff. And he refused to ever make
this limon chicken. So we went back up you know,
tried it the old way. Hey, you made it that
one time. You've proved you can make it for a customer.

(47:33):
I'm a customer at the end of the day. And
he still refused, and I'm not making your lemon chicken.
So then I went and got the store director, the
guy in charge of the store, who is my boss?
I guess, and I said, hey, you know, I was
just a punk, little young kid there. So it felt
a little intimidating going up to that director's office and stuff.
I put my hat in my hand and knocked on

(47:54):
the door. Sir, I got a complaint, and you hate
complaining about a fellow employee, but men, you're addicted to
the lemon chicken, Angie. I needed the lemon chicken, and
it was so good, and there was a lot of
paying people that wanted the lemon chicken. I figured if
we all liked it, it should be a regular rotation
in the Chinese case. And got the lemon chicken eye
so I said, Darryl was his name. Darryl passed away

(48:14):
since now, but Darryl Luke won't make us the lemon chicken.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
I probably saided, like Larry David from Curry Enthusiasm, I
just want the lemon chicken. Can't we get the lemon chicken?
And he grabbed me, and I want to say he
grabbed me by the collar, but he didn't but he
walked me down to the Chinese case and Luke, come
over here, come on, why are you not making the
lemon chicken for Kyle. He's paying money and all this stuff,
and I don't make it too hard to a lemon

(48:41):
chicken too hard to make. And it was just back
and forth, back and forth of the Daryl said, I
don't care. I pay you to make the customer, right,
he's the customer and all of his guys want the
lemon chicken. You're gonna make the lemon chicken. So obviously
it was pretty tense between Luke and I since then.
And Luke is like fifty some years old. This little
fifteen year old kid getting over on him isn't very
happy about all this. And Luke still refused to make

(49:04):
the Chinese chicken. But in a plot twist, if there
ever was one, there was a Mexican guy named Julio,
and Julio salt of the Earth here, but he worked
in the Chinese department, which felt so strange to have
like a full on.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Mexican guy that just spoke.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
So you had a guy that speak spoke Vietnamese Vietnamese
fluently with broken English. And then we had a guy
from Mexico that speak Spanish fluently with broken English.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
It was a wild time. It was a wild time.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
But Julio he had zero problems making the lemon chicken.
All his computers that make lemon chicken for you. He'd
make that lemon chicken every single time. So I would
get that. But every time he was making it, we'd
request it. They would still not put in the case,
but he'd make it for us. That was just making
up that sauce getting the lemon. Kyle will get lemon
for me. So I'd get a lemon out of produce
and he would make it for us. But Luke was
always there giving us a side eye. He was always angry,

(49:49):
and I swear he took that to his grave, which
we're gonna talk more about him here, but I'll never forget.
I'll never forget Luke. Two funny stories about Luke. One time,
like I said, he could really not speak English. But
you guys know, if you ever worked in a department store,
grocery or whatever, things get busy, things get busy out there,
you're gonna tell you know this one, Okay, So I

(50:11):
still laugh. I still joke to my friends from back
then all the time that were there, it was a
Friday night in the Chinese department, was just slammed. They
had a line all there because people, for whatever reason,
absolutely love this chase. Why I got the monster right here?
This is monster. Is not sponsoring this monster.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (50:26):
I'm putting that off to the side. Enough of a
free plug for you. I all of a sudden over
the intercom, so you can dial seven to oh and
talk over the intercom. And let me tell you, I
had a lot of funn over that intercom back in
the day. More promo, a lot of promos. Oh we
got we're froze food, we got ice for sale, Oh
we got ice, get your bag dice.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
I would do that all the time. We'll talk about that.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
But Luke got on there, and he got on the
intercom and said, Chinese under attack. Someone send help, send help,
Chinese under attack.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Oh my god. Well, I never.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Forget how funny that was. Like he was back in
the war or something. Chinese under attack, but he couldn't
speak English. That's all he could get out was Chinese
under attack. But then shortly shortly after that, Luke chopping
up all the meat and all that stuff. He lost
a finger, He chopped off a finger. I'll never forget
that day where he lost his finger. He never got
reattached ra in and he had one of those big
blades and was just chopping away as they do. He

(51:22):
was like a young Yon Khan can cook. You remember
that guy at all? No, like TV, I really date
myself on that. But he chopped his finger off. I'll
never forget the ambulance everything rushing in there. It was
just a wild, wild scene. Of course, him losing his
finger there, so hard times for Luke, but an interesting
turn of events here Luke finally got what was deserved
to him. It wasn't just the finger getting lost here.

(51:45):
Luke was up to some shenanigans and the store got
turned into like the health assessment place whenever you want
to call it or whatever, Oh my god, as apparently,
and this is how Luke was fired. And Luke was
a hard working guy. He also managed like an apartment
complex is like the handyman stuff. And he probably worked,
no doubt about eighty hours a week at the Chinese

(52:07):
restaurant in there, so I mean he worked twenty four
to seven. Single guy, all this kind of but he
was a wild card, a wild card if whatever was one,
chopped his finger off and all that. But what happened
to Luke was what the downfall of Luke? You want
to know what the downfall was?

Speaker 2 (52:21):
We're in there.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
This feels like it couldn't even be possible, but this
is one hundred percent true story. He got turned in
as they said that he had cats, yes, cats in
the freezer at the grocery, and he was serving cat
meat in the Chinese section. Now that sounds obviously like racist.
Is that the word I'm looking for it. It sounds

(52:44):
like a stereotype or whateverthing all they're eating the dogs and
the cats over there and all this stuff. Now here
is the deal though, So the distort director who you know,
brought him down there and talked to Luke and all
that stuff. They had this whole thing go down, and
they had to go in. Well, they went into the
freezer and what do you think they found cats? They
found dead cats, legit, dead cats in there. And Luke said, no,

(53:06):
I do not and I'm sure he's broken English. I
do not feed these to the customers. These are for
me on my break. I make these for myself. And
what he ended up doing. Remember I said he managed
an apartment complex stray cats everywhere. He would kill these
stray cats and he would eat them, and he would
eat them, and he totally fest up to it, saying
I make them for myself. Well the end of the day,

(53:29):
that doesn't go so well. A lot of people like cats.
I'm not a big cat guy, but still fry. He's
still fry the same. That was the thing. He's usually
the same pans and all that. The cat. And who's
to say there wasn't some cat food and if it
was cat, and the long story short, it wasn't lemon chicken,
it was lemon persian cat.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
I bet one of the times he did the lemon
chicken you mad cat?

Speaker 3 (53:49):
You know, if he did, I don't care. That's a
good joke to play on a kid. I probably deserved
it because I was pretty pretty worked up about all
that kind of stuff. But it was wild that he
was actually eating cats by but Luke since passed away.
He got fired from that job, which was pretty rough.
He always kind of scared me though he was a
scary guy. He just looked like he looked like one
of those guys you'd see in a casino that you

(54:09):
just don't want to talk with it. He's at the
card table at like four am. He was a dangerous
wild card if there ever was so a wild Tales
from Retail here my time with Chinese never says. Chinese
and I get along pretty well. I transferred grocery stores
up to college when I was getting my degree, and
I worked and up there it was like two dollars
and I had Chinese about every single meal for about

(54:30):
two years while I was in college, occasionally a few
other things. But still to this day, if we go
for Chinese food, Angie, that's the last place I want
to go for Chinese is I've had literally thousands of
meals there over my life. But a lot of people
enjoy it. And you know what, I always say, you
like what you like, you don't, what you don't, and
all that kind of stuff. But Angie, to finish up
this segment right here, what is your first ever experience

(54:52):
tasting Chinese food?

Speaker 2 (54:53):
And where was it?

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Now? Angie lived in a small town in Iowa and
there was a place called what Sam's Chinese Kitchen, But
that came like after you were out of the town.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
I think, yeah, I'm sure I ate like beef and
brocoli or chicken and broccoli.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Like you where would you have had it?

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Though? Where would you have first had Like was this
when you went to college for the first time? You
were like twenty two years old and you were like,
what's this Chinese? And then they said, what's this grilled
cheese sandwich? You tried all these have no recollection. I'll
never forget it was like it was yesterday and I
just told you all about it, so I won't tell
you again. But I was interested to see if you
remember your first time having Chinese of all things?

Speaker 2 (55:27):
Oh, I remember my first time.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
I bet you do. I'll never forget it. So there
it is Chinese under attack and it truly was that
occasion there. So there it is Angie that is trying
new or trying to kind of she was trying new
foods underneath food I was. I truly was part of it.

(55:51):
But there it is Angie that is tails from retail.
Next up, album of the Week. All right, it's time
for album of the week and Album of the Week.
I didn't want to do this band so soon as
I think it was the first episode we talked about
this band. One of my all time favorite bands, it

(56:12):
is Judas Priest. I love Judas Priest, seen Judas Priests
so many times, so many classic albums from the beginning
all the way to the end. However, this week I
felt like I needed to mention another Judas Priest classic
because their former drummer, one Less Binks, just recently passed away.
Now Less Banks, I believe Unleashed in the East was
his final album and he left the band after that.

(56:33):
It's one of those great album covers where it shows
the whole band except the drummer. Well, they photoshopped him.
I don't know if that was a thing in the seventies,
but they cut him out of the cover and apparently
he didn't get paid for the album at all. So
he said, I quit and he went on as mary
Way from there. Recently he played with k kk's Priest. However,
Less Banks Jesus had passed away just here recently, so

(56:53):
I wanted to shout out the great Less Banks. Now,
when I think drummer for Judas Priest, I go to
Scott Travis personally, he's been there the longest. Some people
go to Dave Holland, but Dave Holland's oh child molestation
along the way. We won't talk about that too much.
So he's not in the band anymore either, and he's
passed away as well. But I'm going to go for
the album with Les Binks. One of the greatest Priest

(57:14):
albums of all time. It is Stained Class. It was
funny when I first got as a kid, I thought
it was Stained Glass, but it is Stained Class officially.
But you got Excider on there. Oh my gosh, an
all timer, really speed Metal before speed Metal was a thing.
Stained Class of course the song probably the most popular
song from that album, beyond the Realms of Death. Oh

(57:34):
they play that and about every Priest song, of course,
just a beautiful one. Always love that, better about You,
better than Me? That's a classic Spooky Tooth cover they
did a lot of people know that one. Of course.
Invader an absolute all timer. I love Invader. Saints in Hell.
Just you can go all day long listen off priest
songs from Stained Class. Just a pivotal album in the
history of the priest seventies Priest Goodness, if you had

(57:57):
never heard the Stained Class man, oh Man.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
What you want?

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Check out Judas Priest, check out Stayed Class and that
Angie is the album of the week. But now we
got to close up shop. Angie, we got a little email.
It's time for the Email of the week. All right,
time to finish it up, and we're closing it off
with the email of the week. We got to think
of a catchy name, Angie's Corner, Angie's Email. I'm not
exactly sure, but if you want to be the question

(58:21):
of the week, you want to put your comment in there. Obviously,
you can put the comment in the YouTube video if
that's where you are watching this, and if you are,
make sure your thumbs up the video all that fun stuff.
Subscribe and then of course audio audio available wherever. If
you can give us the old five star review, I
hear that helps, and if you want to put a
review up, we will read your review on the channel
right here. But Angie, we got a question of the week.

(58:43):
This one came via YouTube, and if you want to
be like I said, put it in the comments, or
you can email the Kyle Peterson Show at gmail dot com.
If you have a question, email a concern, a concern.
It will send it to our HR group right over there,
boy by boy lem me over there. Angie's got a
couple of inquiries on me lately. But Angie, if you

(59:04):
want to take it away for the question of the.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
Week, all right at eric Chebec seven six five nine.
I have two questions. Who has a bigger potty mouth?
And who says I love you more?

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Well?

Speaker 3 (59:16):
First one, the potty mouth, I think we know immediately
where who that is. That's old Angie. Now, I rarely swear,
rarely ever. Nobody ever hears that from me. And if
I do, you know, I'm really fired up because I
just I feel my Grandma Peterson, of course, salt of
the earth, salt to the earth. I missed my Grandma
Peterson every single day. She was my biggest champion in

(59:38):
this world. Bigger than you, bigger than you. She loved
every story. She would sit there for story times with Kyle,
for hours and hours. I used to take my wrestlers
to her house. I used to spend a couple of
weeks in the summer there and then a spring break.
Every year I'd go to my Grandma's and I loved it.
I loved it. She was making rice Krispy treats for me.
She was taking me to Pamaida and Ben Franklin's I'd
get to get some Joe's, I get some wrestlers, and

(59:59):
I'd always sit down with Grandma and we'd go through
all my wrestlers and I'd say, Grandma, could this guy
come to dinner? And she hated people with long hair
and facial hair and stuff like that. So we chill
the rockers. She's like, no, they're never coming here. They're
not coming to my house.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
No way. I wouldn't let you in. And that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
That's what I've said it on the YouTube channel of
Time or two. I just don't know if my grand
but I feel like my grandma knew me for so
long that she would look past it because she loved
her little Kyle. She loved her little Kyle.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Remember what your hair looked like when she passed.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
It was short, it was always short.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
But you've always had facial hair.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
No, no, I mean all go tea. I had the
rolly fingers for a while. But my Grandma's the biggest
supporter ever. And my grandma never swore, never swore. She
was the She was just an all timer, all timer,
my grandma.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
And I always in my mental compass going through life,
I always say, what would my grandma say whatever I do.
So if I got arrested, like it would just we
would break her. So I never got in trouble. I
never did that stuff. And I always think, do whatever
you're doing. You got to be able to think your
grandma was watching. That's what I said. I never wanted
to disappoint my grandma. So shout out to my grandma.
Miss her a lot. But yeah, you'll never hear me

(01:01:06):
causing you noticed on my channel. I hear from a
lot of people. You never swear. You never cussing all
that stuff. That's it's very rare, so rare, it's very rare.
I gotta I gotta be real fired I get real
fired up. It's like another level of fired up. It's
another level of fired up. I mean, and it's only
happened a few times, so I keep it in. I
keep it in, so Angie though it's just F word,

(01:01:29):
F bomb, F this lad at all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
I'm not that bad. But my New Year's resolution was
to try to swearing so much.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Yeah, sometimes around the kids and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
It's like it's probably like the one contention you have
with me. You don't really like it when I.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Clean it up a little bit. You know, you don't
need to.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
It makes people feel or look and sound it does.
It cheapens yet, and you can't take people serious if
they're cussing all the time. Every other word is a
cuss word. It's like, okay, you know, you're showing. Like
my grandma used to always say, you know, it's the
uneducated people that swear all the time time, And I
don't know if that's exactly true, but I always feel
like you just got to try to keep it as
classy as possible as I've been in a lot of

(01:02:06):
business meetings where people are losing it and saying that
kind of stuff and you just can't take them seriously. Yeah,
and maybe it's part of it. You got to keep
it a professional in a lot of meetings and employee of
things where you get heated employees at you. We'll tell
those stories on the channel too. You're gonna have to
change the name to protect the innocent. And yes, you
guys out there that want to hear the Drew Brees story,
it's coming. It's coming.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
I don't really swear at work. I think you did,
Like I'm on my worst behavior.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
I don't know. I don't think so. You're a wild card.
You're a wild card and a wild gal, that's for sure.
But that's why we love you. But speaking of the
second part, Angie, who says.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Who do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
It's probably me just I'm a lilt softy because Angie,
you're just my whole world, just my whole world. What
would I do without Angie? I'm one of those guys.
Or if Angie died of a heart attack, I'm like
one of those guys to go right after. I would
just follow right after. Is I'm very eccentric, I'm very
out there, I'm very doing stuff. But Angie keeps me
pretty grounded on things. So without her to keep me

(01:03:04):
in the checks and balances and all that, I'd be
in big trouble. I'd be in big trouble. So I
guess me because I'm the only one with real love
around here. Like the Beatles song.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
But you initiated it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Usually just a softy and salty and Angie. Angie be
lost without me too. How would you pay for anything?

is what you'd be doing.

it for me, That's what I'd say. But a final
couple of housekeeping things. Once again, thank you to DJC

started here. If you want early access to this podcast videocast,
you will get it over there with the channel membership,
So check that out. And of course Patreon all kinds
of stuff, early access to all the videos from both
YouTube channels, pictures, you name it, it's all over there.
I'm trying to talk Angie into doing a Patreon exclusive
show of Just Angie once a month over there, so

(01:04:21):
we'll see we'll see if we can get her to
do something like that. We'll see what happens. But more
on that in the future. Maybe the Patreon. Everything over
there every single day and truly the best way to
support the channel and Angie, Starbucks Drinks and of course

why why she doesn't know because nobody else will.
