I gotta ask you, have you read that book? Have
you read the book? You thumbed through it. You thumbed
through it real quick. So is my name in here?
Any bloopers? Yeah? Yeah, I think the Major pod said
something like, yeah, nuon Jack was in there twice. They
said it on one of their toy videos. And why
did you put Nwjack in twice? Well, real ones, No,

(03:04):
there's two new Jacks. There's a no Noos and there's
a regular That's why it's in there twice. If you
look at the picture, yeah duh. You look at the picture,
you can see that there's a no Noos and new
no noose and noose editions of Nwjack. So she said
it on me, She said it on me, But Andsy
and hey, asy Angie, we had a busy week this weekend.

(03:27):
Here we're coming off a hot weekend. We've been very
busy the last couple of weeks, running around doing all
kinds of stuff. But last weekend, Angie, we went to
SmackDown Friday Nights SmackDown. Yes, we did that. We did.
We took the girls, You and I we went to SmackDown.
I don't know. Did it go so well?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
It was?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
It was okay, you were enthralled, you loved it.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
We didn't get to about thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's crazy. Yes, so, uh, it was wild. I was
sitting next to Angie, and honestly, don't tell the kids,
I wanted to sit by Angie more because she's nicer
to me. She's nicer to me usually. So I was
sitting by Emma originally, or yeah, I was. Yeah, I
was sitting by Emma and then we had to switched.
But I was sitting by Emma at first, and Emma
didn't like my question, well, how was your day at school?
How would you? She just looked at me and said,

(04:12):
could you be quiet? Stimulating her apparently, and then all
of a sudden she got up and made you switch
with you. So that was kind of funny. So I
don't know, she's just eating she's too much iPad time
for sure. It's like, oh my gosh, I can't have
my iPad for like four hours. I'm gonna die. I'm
gonna die. And of course her sister has a phone,

(04:32):
so she's just sitting there old school, just raw dogging
it through SmackDown. But you should be able to just
watch the show. But no, she has never been much
for us.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Came out that was lah.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, for some reason, I was gonna say that about
l for whatever reason, is a huge Miss fan, which
is very strange. I don't know where that recording be quiet.
I'm like, now I'm a big Maurice fan, no offense.
I love Maurice. We need to get her over here.
And let's see if Miss says something. But Maurice at
all time favorite of both of ours. Maurice, You're welcome anytime.

(05:03):
You're welcome anytime, Angie and me for sure. But unfortunately
she wasn't there, obviously, But I thought it was interesting.
And then we bought Ella Pop of Miz, which was interesting.
So I don't know what's going on with that girl.
More story at eleven, I guess what's going on. But
we ended up leaving SmackDown right before the main event,
the girls match. There was it Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill,

(05:23):
Naomi and what was the other one?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Oh no, who won?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Jade and them long Oh Naya Jackson? Oh yeah they yeah,
tag team. So we left and then of course there
was like a long commercial break and the wildest thing
was we got back home. I got to the basement,
turned on SmackDown right as the show was still going on.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Oh weird.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
So I just saw the last like two minutes. I
just hit rewind watched the match that I felt like
I really didn't miss anything, and I guess all things considered,
that wasn't the great of the match. I'm kind of
glad we beat the traffic, got to our car, got
out of there. It didn't have to sit in traffic
for a half.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
It was real leaving there and it was like, yeah, dead.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
It was dead. We got right to our car. So
that was kind of as well. Let's back down. It
was a pretty rough show, not a lot of star
power in that one. I was going to plan to
go to Raw. Unfortunately I ran out of time, didn't
go to Raw. A long story there, so didn't go
to Raw. I think the raw was a better show, though,
I would say that this week. But we did SmackDown.
But then the next day we got up Saturday morning

(06:18):
and Angie and I we went to get some bacon
in her. We plugged her full of bacon. We went
to bacon Fest, a big thing every single year here.
Bacon Fest. It was all right for what it was
a long time ago. Yeah, there was a big wrestling
show with a local independent company here, my buddy Troy
ipw Wrestling. That's yeah. They did that, and they taught
you dug in there. It was quite the show, quite

(06:39):
the day at Baconfest. But this year it was at
the fairgrounds. And you know there's supposed to be a
bunch of free bacon. Really, I mean, you go for
the entertainment. I guess it was socializing. Yeah, that's what
it is. It was socializing if you wanted to drink
a bunch of expensive beer and just hang around and talk.
And they had like some bands playing a mc They
had a costume contest. There was a three or four

(07:00):
booths with free slices of bacon.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I think three. They were all upstairs.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
We had to go upstairs, so we got some of
that and I did do a vlog video basically recapped
all this in a video on my YouTube channel, So
if you want to get more on the store, you
can see some of the video. But Angie just had
a corn dog. You enjoyed that corn dog, which we.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Had to pay for, so pay admission and then you
only get free slices of bacon.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
And then you pay for it. Yeah, and the bacon
was really good though it was. It was funny how
I forget and I used to work once upon a
time putting the business hat on. Once I worked for
Craft Foods long ago. You know, Oscar Meyer bacon was
one of the things we represented, and I used to
get a lot of Oscar Meyer bacon samples. Still buy
bacon from time to time, a lot of deals on
bacon lately, but usually that's just store bought, you know,

(07:40):
regular run of the mill bacon. I forgot how good
real bacon is, like real fancy bacon. And all those
samples were really good, but only three samples. A little bit.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I think they cooked that.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I think they had a little griddle skillet had almost
some of it almost used to like jerky.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
It was like they must smoke it or something.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, yeah, there was one that was definitely smoked for sure,
but that was okay. But then there was a bunch
of food too, so it was like think of like
a fair or something like that, like food trucks. They
had those people there, but it's like, okay, we're gonna
have our normal stuff, but we'll just add bacon to it. Yeah,
so it was like the Grasiano sausage stand. Oh it
also has bacon. Yeah, here with bacon, corn dog with

(08:19):
bacon pieces, and that's what I got. They did three
dollars for that bacon, and you guys saw, if you
watched that video, how little bacon three dollars got me.
So I was a little unoppressed. But Angie got a
traditional corn dog and you took that thing like you
knew what you were doing. For sure. It looked good.
So we did get corn dogs there. But in a
simple twist of face, like a young Bob Dylan in

(08:42):
the nineteen seventies, we saw it. Right around the corner
from the bacon fest was a flea market. So said, oh,
let's go walk this flea market. Angie, you wanted some
fudge really bad, you didn't get the fudge, but you
got some later we got fudge, or we didn't get
the fudge, but we did get Jesse meura at the
flea market, as I was just sitting there, you know,

(09:03):
perosing throughout not a whole lot of stuff going on
at this flea market, and cut your eyes and Jesse
caught my eye a Jesse action figure. I'm sitting there
looking at it, and the guy just comes over to me.
He goes, what do you say? How do you say?

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Well, you were you were staring at him for like
a good five minutes, really pondering.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Five seconds, fifty seconds probably, you know, I lose track
of time when I stared into Jesse's eyes. That's sure.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Thought you were pondering yourself, but really you were lost
in his eyes.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
I was, that's exactly what was going on. I was
totally long, like, dude, I'll give it five dollars on it. Yeah,
it was ten dollars. Okay, he goes five dollars. I'm like,
I can't turn that down. And I was I was like,
I was going to pay I was going to pay eight.
Remember I said, I think I might pay eight dollars
for this. Give this guy a little something.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
In I hate.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yes, her dad, Her dad was a master haggler. I
mean he would bundle, he would do is. He was
like American pickers. He was he was. He was like
the American pickers guys, but even more annoying. And he
had I mean, that's a that can be a video
special event. And she talking about her add a whole
video on cleaning up after he passed away.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
See, oh, it would have been funny.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
You know you think of Bam Margera with his dad
back in the day. That would have been me and
George Angie's daddy. He would have been podcast gold. Let
me tell you we would go like we would go
to the pizza ranch. Oh, some of the greatest eat
and you could ever do. We would all be done
with the buffet, like multiple trips before he would even
sit down. He would get like ten plates and a
big tray and I'd always see, George, you know you

(10:28):
have to go bow. He would he'd prep everything. You
can go back up as many times you want, just
get your salad, come eat your salad, go back up,
get your chicken, go back up. But he would sit
there and he would get everything, and it's just he'd
have a whole huge table full of stuff. He'd be
working and he'd go so slow, and.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now pepper and everything.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
And now the thing that's crazy is I'm turning into
your dad because I'm eating so slow at dinner, I'm
the last to finish. I was always the first to finish.
Now I'm slow. Now I'm slow. Oh, that story for
another day. But we should talk about George and his estate.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Oh my god, everyone means videos.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh that would be that'd be quite the one. But
we did the Baconfest, we did the flea market. That
was a pretty good time. But then that night Injie
was craving Mexican and I had to get some Mexican
in her. So we went to the Mexican restaurant. And
by the Mexican restaurant was a new Bins store called
where You've Been And apparently that's a chain bin store.
Didn't know that was a thing, but apparently it is.

(11:21):
And it was a little bit uh nostalgic, a little
bit of sadness, as it was in the corpse of
my old toys. R Us very sad to be back
in that building and look at the memories. Even in
that video. I showed the wall where all the hazros were,
where I got leaded a doom, the demolition all that
stuff back in the day brought back a lot of
memories for me. And it was a little sad looking

(11:42):
at this bin store. But check out the video.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
It's such a colorful store. Now it's just white walls
and it's.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
And it's just people. It was weird. But we got
a few things at the Bin store, walked through that,
some dog treat deals and stuff. And I got to
go get my car wash at this professional car wash
place today for my company car and it's right next
to there, and we're gonna go back in because everything's
a quarter today. We're gonna see. We're just gonna see
the end to end of the start to the end
of the week, and then Friday they refill these things.
So interesting times if there ever was one over there.

(12:10):
But that's about it for this week, I think right
a lot. It was a lot, and so getting busier
and busier, hear me. We'll talk about more next week.
I don't know, we'll see. But speaking of busy, Angie,
now we got one in all timer in a deeper dive,

(12:32):
all right, it's time for a deeper dive, and this
week it's totally off the radar. We're totally going crazy
this week with a deeper dive. Is there's been Will
we call it a viral trend? I don't know if
it's I don't know what you call it. Nobody wants
a virus, that's for sure. But it's been going around
social media, and I have laid back in the weeds
on this one. I haven't read anybody's comments. I've just

(12:53):
seen the posts, and I've seen people doing videos. I've
seen Instagram reels talking about this. I did not look
at anybody. Didn't want to be clouded, and that's kind
of me, one on one. I never want to be
clouded by things. I'm interested and I want to figure
it out for myself first, then check out other people's thoughts.
And that's where I am with this one here. And
I did touch base with Angie to let her know
what we're going to talk about here. But Angie, we
want your opinion. Of course, I'm going to give mine.

(13:15):
It is a tale as old as time. It's gorillas
versus best Man verse beast. Yes, but it's a gorilla
versus one hundred men who would win in a fight
to the death. One hundred men. Now, the first thing
I ask is who are these men? Is it Arnold Schwartzenegger.
Is it like the Detroit Lions? Are they big? Fit?

(13:37):
Are they big? Are they? I guess they're men. So
they got to be over eighteen. I guess that's a man.
If you're over eighteen, you seventeen year old to get
out of here. So it's one hundred men versus one gorilla.
Now you break this down a little bit. I mean,
we've seen gorillas at the zoom any times, and one
time we were at the Omaha Zoo, one of the
best zoos in the United States for sure, And I

(13:57):
can't remember if it was a week before US or
the week after something like that was that very iconic
video where that gorilla like stormed against the glass and
like wanted to attack that kid. Pretty scary stuff. If
a gorilla is.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
In like closest to us has like a psycho.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, that's where it was. So yeah, so you think
of these gorillas. Now, they say guerrillas can lift like
five thousand pounds, you know, they can list x amount
their body weight, and gorillas are like five hundred pounds. Now,
what do you think the average guy is? I mean,
that's that once again, it's just I guess we're just
gonna say average Josh, I don't think two hundred. I
think most guys are little guys and not all big, big,

(14:34):
big stocky guys like me in force. Yeah, like me,
like I'm a man's man, but I'm about two fifteen
to fifteen. So you know, I'm guessing the average guys
probably like what five foot two, five foot two, probably
like five six, five seven something like that. I don't
know either way, I guess you've got one hundred men
coming after. We're just gonna say it's your average guy,

(14:56):
I guess, but one hundred men. So you got to
think one man versus gorilla not gonna happen. Two against
gorilla not gonna happen. These gorillas are beast and you
think of a gorilla, they got those creepy teeth that
you don't think about a lot with gorillas. You think
of you know, their big, bulky walking, but you forget
to get these huge fangs, which I've seen them like
grab a candle open, just like bite into that thing

(15:16):
and they like crush it into nothing like a watermelon stuff.
So can you imagine what they would do to with
the average Joe's head. Of course, so they definitely have
tons of strength. You gotta think a guy's coming out
and they're just grabbing him and they're throwing him across
the room or whatever, or just crunching his face or
pounding his face or you know, beating him down. It'd
be a tough go, a tough go, for sure. I
think nobody's gonna doubt that. However, one hundred men versus

(15:40):
a gorilla, now, gorilla is just a killing machine. For
the most part. They don't have a conscience at least
I don't know. I mean, every gorilla I've ever tried
to discuss with they don't answer back, and they're just
about one thing. They're about getting some food and getting
some action maybe maybe, and then the violence they choose violence,
especially if foods involved. So these gorillas they don't really
have conscience where humans do. It's like, Okay, I'm gonna

(16:02):
fight this this bear. I'm gonna fight this gorilla. I'm
gonna fight this dog. You sit there and you start thinking, Okay,
I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do that gorilla doesn't think.
It just goes and attacks. It doesn't have nothing.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
But when you're in survival mode, you're probably not either.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Maybe, And I try to think at the times I've
been in survival mode, and I guess maybe you just
get a blind rage going on and you're ready to kill.
You're ready to kill. Remind me to tell you that
story about I killed that.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Guy that on.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
But uh, okay, George, But a gorilla obviously very tough.
So then you think one hundred men though, So now
it comes up the strategy. That's where humans got a
little bit more. Obviously you got one gorilla, you got
one hundred guys. The hundred guys can kind of okay,
here's the deal. So my guess is I was originally
in my brain thinking the gorilla would probably win. But

(16:47):
I think there's a strategy if the guys are smart enough.
Now it just says men. They could be like brain dead.
Men aren't smart men here, But I think I'm leaning
towards the men, and I'll tell you why. But Angie,
I'll get you your position on this as well. Gorilla
or men.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
I think the men could do it. I think the
man one sheep shot in the head. I mean you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Could you take on a hundred men? No, you could,
one hundred will get lists. I think that's going around.
I think that's a viral trend right now. I believe
as well, taking on many of men. But I don't
think you should do that. I don't think. But you men,
I'll take y'all a lot, I'll do it. No, No,
maybe there you go. No, maybe maybe not. Maybe I

(17:27):
won't one hundred women. Could I take one hundred women? No,
I think I could, Like I could. I think I
could easily, easily. But so are you going men or Gorilla?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
I'm going men.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
She's going man. She's got faith in the men. And
I was originally Gorilla just because of the strength, the tenacity,
all of that. But here's my strategy to win. Do
you want to give me your strategy or should I
go first?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
I would think you would think to go in like shifts,
like stages.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yep, that's part of it.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
To break it up, I would do ten shifts of ten, okay,
or five shifts.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
That's what I'm thinking. Five shifts to twenty. And I
think there's got to be some pawns. It's like a
game of chess. You get some of those guys out
there that the first first batches, you're probably in big trouble.
You're probably getting killed. Unfortunately, you want to be towards
the back end, and I always love being towards the
back end is most No, you just have to keep
on taking it out there. You got to keep fighting them.
But my thing, what I would do is I would

(18:22):
try to wear the gorilla out. So by giving waves
and fighting it, he's gonna get tired. Obviously he's probably
got more stamina than a man, but I think after
all these waves, he's gonna get tired. And let's just
say there's twenty in that wave, fifteen get killed, you
get five thrown around. Well, guess what, they can come
in the back end and come help as we keep
on fighting, because I assume this is to the death.

(18:44):
Who wins. Now, I don't know if it's said anything
about using weapons and stuff. I'm saying there's no weapons
allowed unless unless you're like in the jungle fight.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, you'd be like in an enclosure at least, so
you could get or the jungle a large branch or
you know, like.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
A Yeah, that's what I'm saying, so if there's a
branch or something, I guess that's a fair game for
the gorilla or the men to use as well. Or
a rock, possibly a rock, possibly, you know, a turtle,
maybe just skull. Yeah, I just think, but those gorillas
they got a tough skull, I think to get through.
I don't know. I don't know. It reminds me of
Faces of Death. There. Guy's ever seen that scene where
they ate the monkey at the table. It was kind

(19:19):
of like going to a Mongolian grill or like one
of those K pop places. It was a big table
and they had the monkey in the middle, and they
had him all tied down and they were like dissecting
him right there and eating his brains at the table.
It's wild. I'll show that to you later. It was
a good one. I remember seeing that in like second
grade and it blew my mind. Blew my mind, and
here I am all these years later. But I think
you tire out the gorilla. I think that is the key.

(19:40):
You gotta think he gets tired. But then even then,
how do you kill him. I mean, a gorilla can
snap your neck, he can do all this. I don't
think humans can snap a gorilla's neck. I don't think
they can. Like, how are you gonna kill him without
a weapon? That's the other hard part. I mean, I
guess if you get like a bunch of guys they
played tug of war and rip off arms and rip
off legs, they drawing quarter in. I'm not exactly sure

(20:01):
how you kill a gorilla because I feel like his
head is so thick, his neck is so thick, Like
how do you snap that neck? And how do you
get enough guys to pull and torque on it to
do it. I've never thought about killing a gorilla so
much in my life. I've never thought about it. Now,
this conversation it is, you know, but I don't know
if this is going to happen. But I think I
think somebody fact checked this out there send it to

(20:23):
the Coyle Peters to show a Gmail dot com of course,
But I think I heard somewhere that mister Beast was
going to do one of these on one of his videos.
I think he was going to have one hundred men
take on a grilla in one of his videos. I
think he would get canceled or might be just making
that up. I'm not sure. Somebody's got a fact check that.
But I think he found some people that were really
down on their luck. It was kind of like, what
was that John Claude Van Damn movie? Was it Nowhere

(20:45):
to Run? Maybe about Hard Target? One of the Hard Target?
Maybe great movie? And I read the Hard Target book.
It was at my local, like remember the Scholastic book fair.
I said, oh, they got a John clawde Van dam
paperback of Hard Target, a rated R movie if year.
I was in like fourth grade reading Hard Target the book,
and later on I got to see the movie, and

(21:05):
let me tell you, that book holds up. That book
holds out. But I think it was where these guys
like hunted men for game and stuff. I think that's
been told a lot of times over the years.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
But I think that could be what's going on with
mister Beast and stuff happening.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I don't know. So we're both gonna go with a man.
At first instinct, it's easy to go gorilla, But one
hundred guys is a lot of guys. Angie'll tell you
it's a lot of guys coming in and out. It's exhausting.
It'll wearry you out. There's no doubt about it. I
just think the only way the men have a choice
because a lot of people like, well they all attack
at once. You can't do that because there's too many
men and the gorilla's not that big. It's just too much.

(21:39):
You gotta go in waves. You got those first crew guys,
they got to try to stay alive first off, and
they got to try to run this gorilla down, tearing down.
But you see those gorillas, they run so fast.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
The feet, but they're so food hungry.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
I would try to like feed it and strack it
and then like hit it in the head with some Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Well I don't know if that's allowed either. You could
put a sedative in a banana and he would just
be all in. He'd just down that thing. He would
get it, really, he would get it. Appeel and all
those gorillas they don't care. They'll eat the peels. Even
there's wild animals of course. So there it is, gorilla
of all things versus one hundred men. I think we're
both going with the men. I can't believe it, but
let me know in the comments. If you're watching on

(22:16):
YouTube ort The Coyle Peterson Show at gmail dot com,
what are you thinking? What are you thinking and give
me your explanation as well. So there it is. That
is a deeper dive. And then in a pot twist,
we got an adjacent figure of the week, all right,

(22:43):
ed Gie figure of the week time and we got
a special one in involving this gorilla versus one hundred men.
It got me thinking of what figure to do this
week and it's more of a statue once again this week,
and it's one of the most special pieces in my
collection as my earliest memories as a child, I remember
looking at this statue and then my dad of course
shout out to my dad, Dad, when are you coming

(23:03):
on the channel? Angie's going to Philadelphia. Angie's going to
Philadelphia for a week. I'm gonna need a guest host
in July. Perfect time for you to step in, Dad.
We're putting the challenge out dare I say physical challenge
from Mark Summers. Hopefully get my dad to guess for
a week. We'll see what ends up happening there. But
today's figure of the week, this week's figure of the
week is the statue of the week. It is the

(23:25):
Aurora model kit King Kong, Yes, King Kong, absolutely stunning.
Here I've stared at this ever since I was a little.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Kid, so that he had to like build other.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
My dad and grandpa, Grandpa Peterson, shouted, Grandpa Peterson, shout
out to my dad. They put this together when my
dad was a little kid, and they put it all
together with super glue and then they painted it together.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, so this is all done together. So it is
very very cool. Obviously, got a bunch of these Aura
monster kits that my dad had, have those on display
in my collection. But this was always cool. And when
I was a little kid, I would just stare at
this all the time, and I would always look at like,
look at this little lizard you stepping on and these
tree branches down. Just the fun detail for these way
back in the day was always really cool. Still very cool,

(24:07):
very nostalgic for me. And of course, talking gorilla vers
one hundred men, how about a gorilla versus one woman? Yeah, change,
there's no chance, but you know.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Giant grill.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
But you know, Angie the beauty tame to the beast.
That's what happened. And I don't think Angie's ever seen
King Kong. Have you the original one, the black and
white original? Oh? I don't know, no, you know which
one is a sleeper? That like late seventies, early eighties one,
I think it was late seventies. I think I love
those When I was a little kid. They were on
like TV all the time when I was a kid.
Did you ever see that one? Did you ever see

(24:37):
the second one where like they thought Kong died and
they had to give me a huge heart transplant. That
was a wild one. That was a wild one where Kong.
I absolutely love those movies. A lot of people think
they don't hold up, but very childhood nostalgic for me,
just seeing movies all the time as a kid. I'm
sure you had a movie like that you saw all
the time as a kid.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Mannequin two, Mannequin on the Move. Yeah, I had my
first girlfriend, my first real girlfriend. Manniquin two was her
favorite movie of all time. I should have known about
the relationship right there. I should have said Maniquin two,
not Mannequin one, but Manniquin two on the Move, that's
my favorite movie of all time. I should have known better.
But King Kong an all time movie, no matter which

(25:18):
genre you watch, even the Jack Black one, which I
think we went to at the movie theater way back when.
I believe the Peter Jackson version there. But it's crazy,
as I was at the Chicago toy show about a
week or so ago, the King County Toy Show, and
I always love going to flea markets toy show stuff
like that and seeing these figures, be it the Mummy,
the Werewell, vampire, whatever it may be. I love seeing these.

(25:39):
But the crazy thing is, it is so ingrained in
my head that he should be all black like this,
because that's how my grandpa painted him and my dad
painted him. So when I see him at a toy show,
it's up to the person that owned it to paint
it however they wanted to, like my version of the
Mummy my dad grandpa, they painted like blood on him
and stuff, which in my brain he always has that

(26:00):
to this toy show. I saw this Kong there and
they painted him full on gray like he was black
and white like a gray color, and it just looks
so weird to me. But it's not right. It's not wrong.
It's just their interpretation of what they wanted it to be.
I'm sure somebody has done like a neon fluorescent version
of this, and that's the crazy person who knows send
them first out against the gorilla. Yeah, exactly, But I

(26:21):
always think of this in the black so very fun,
very nostalgic for me, very cool for the time too.
It still holds up. I mean, it still looks very
very cool. But I always loved King Kong, going back
to my childhood watching those seventies movies, the original one,
collecting this one a few other toys over the years,
and I thought it was a perfect week to spotlight
the Aurora model King Kong as the figure of the week.

(26:44):
But Angie, that is the figure of the week. No gorillas.
We're not eating gorillas in the next segment, But we're
gonna try new foods because they might taste good. Good,
all right, Angie, it's Angie's turn. It's Angie segment. Here.

(27:06):
It's time to try new foods because they might taste good.
And Angie's got something special that just hit the market
this week. Figure to me, do it, And Angie, we're
getting a little bit of a build up on some
of these new foods. We got a huge list of things,
so some of that stuff might not be new by
the time we try it. So I'm gonna have to
dive it out. But just got a few new things yesterday.
This was one of them, and we're going to dive

(27:27):
into it. It's a timely one. It's one a lot
of people want, Angie, you got it? Are you baking
a batch right now? Oh? She's baking it under the skirt?
What is it? What is it? Angie?

Speaker 3 (27:38):
What is it called? Pretzel covered or chocolate covered pretzel?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oreo chocolate covered pretzel Oreole. Let me see this thing?
So obviously we've all heard of Oreos Chocolate covered Pretzel.
Limited edition pretzel flavored cookie artificially flavored, topped with salt
and chocolate flavored cream. Expires September twenty twenty five for
those keeping back at home. Ten point six ounces, one

(28:02):
hundred and forty calories for two cookies on this one
here so looking good of course, the Mandalese Corporation. And
in full transparency, i worked good ten years for Nabisco
Craft Mandalize, so I've had myself an Oreo a time
or two. I've even seen them coming off the line
a time or two. So a lot of experience with Oreos,
myself and probably a lot of people watching this have

(28:23):
experienced and We've said it before about Oreos. They really have,
you know, made a name for themselves the last few years,
turning and burning new items because everybody tries them once
and then you know, if they're terrible, it is what
it is. They're moving on in three months, four months, whatever.
It is so very cool, and I believe Angie, first
time they've ever done these is to my knowledge, I

(28:43):
don't think we've ever got ever seen before. So sometimes
these lim edition ones come back every once in a
while we'll see but Angie dive in, let's go to it.
We got one hundred and forty calories for two of them.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Len's open up kind of the kind of greevy O.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
All right, so we got it. I always go through
the middle. Oh, that one broke upon art. I'm not
gonna go with that one, all right. So it is
uh and interesting. So it's like the vanilla cookie is
kind of what it looks like, but I don't know
if that's supposed to be more pretzel. I guess we'll
find out. And then you got the chocolate on the
inside there.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, I'm interested if it's gonna even be sweet.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Smell like, what's that smell like?

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Weird.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Smells like something. Mm hmm gosh, what does that smell like?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Sounds like some kind of like amishy shortbread about that.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
It smells like some kind of a mix, one of
those mixed that have like Eminem's and pretzels. It has
kind of that kind of vibe. Well, I'm good with
trying to be ready. Here we go. The first thing
I tasted was the salt, salt and the cookie.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
It's weird. I feel like the cookie is like harder
and it normally is a little.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
There's not a lot of sweetness, almost wetter.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Yeah, there's no sweetness to the cookie, which is weird.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
You're used to that sweetness of the cookie a little
bit and in full transparency once again, I'm more of
a cookie guy instead of cream. Angie though all in
on cream. Give her all the cream, just guzzle it in.
That's what she's ready for, all the cream.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Taking a guzzle. And I brought milk.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Oh, you brought milk?

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Okay, you thought I might want to dunk it.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
I've never been an oreo dunker either. I don't do that.
I know that's not for me. That's not for me.
Does that help hurts hinder everybody loves a good pretzel
dumped in milk. I think now the chocolate, it could
be fudge. It could be chocolate, does it could? Gorilla

(30:37):
does have.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
A more feeling than like a traditional real.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
No, it doesn't feel double stuff, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
There's enough chocolate. I mean the ballets. There's a good balance.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
This could be gorilla meat for all we know in here.
I don't know. It's weird. It's not terrible, it's not good.
I would never really weird.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
To have the cookie not be sweet kind of messes
with your brain.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
I don't know what to think about this. I don't
know if that was worth seventy calories. I usually I
usually with my oreos. I usually wash it down with
a white Monster is usually what I do. Monster. Where
are we at? Where were out with the contract? We're
just hanging there? Are we? Trying to be comfortable in
the silence. I know all the tactics to selling. I'm

(31:24):
like a young Conrad Thompson in more ways than one,
I guess, and she's like, who's Conrad Thompson. Well, I'll
fill you in later, but you got to be comfortable
in the silence. That's what you do. When you give
a pitch, you got to be able to sit there
and just let it gets awkward in ten seconds. Ten
seconds feels like five minutes. You don't know how many
meetings I've had. I'm getting off on a tangent here.

(31:45):
You don't know how many negotiation meetings I've been in.
At a table and I say something, I just sit there.
I just stare them in the eye and then we
just sit there lovingly stare at each other, and it
just seems like an maternity. And I'm always in my head,
don't break, don't break, don't break, don't break, don't right,
don't break, And I'll sit there for ten hours if
I have to let them talk. Anyways, just ventur he

(32:07):
wasn't comfortable, he wasn't comfortable in my silence.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
She came and broke it.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's a pro tip out there, Kyle cell Techniques. You
give the offer, don't break, don't come. Because what happens
to most people, Phil Oh, you've been fired new host immediately.
But what happens is this is getting off a little bit,
but it's giving a little life tip business tip right here.
And yeah, there you go. If if you break, if

(32:32):
I give an offer, and then I sit in the
silence and I say, well, I tak myself off, and
you give them an opening to back out if you
put it all on them, They're not going to back
out most of the time. And so it's an easy
way to win a negotiation, let me tell you. And
then you just got to be prepared to walk away.
That's always the hard part to it is very gotta
be confident, of course, But Angie, what do you think

(32:52):
about this as a whole?

Speaker 3 (32:53):
I don't know. I don't even know if we're going
to finish these.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Hopefully the kids like them. I don't know, get rid
of these rats. I got bit by I got bit
by three of the four rats last week. It was wild.
I don't know what happened there. I don't know, but yeah, hopefully,
I think. I think it's funny is that we don't
eat a lot of this stuff, so we still have
the chips of hoy last week. I figured you'd be

(33:18):
all in all that white cream that you loved him,
but she hasn't finished those either.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Sweet tooth, and I don't like I'm not going to
grab that, and I don't.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Have a sweet tooth. I don't have one, so it's
a little different, but okay, you want to go ladies first,
of course, the lady first channel over here, A one
out of five. We need sound effects for this one
out of five, so we won't be buying these again unfortunately.
And Angie I am going to go a one out
of five as well, so we're on the same wavelength here.

(33:46):
Worth a try one time, preferably for one cookie after
that though pretty rough, pretty rough, but these are hitting
stores right now. This could be one of those regional ones,
or it could be across the nation. I'm not exactly sure.
They go both ways, of course, just like Angie, they
go both ways. Sometimes you just never know what's going
to happen. So there it goes. There, it goes a

(34:08):
one point five. Sorry Mando, lee Is, don't don't cancel
my pension in my far one k. I'll need that eventually.
I'll need that eventually. Angie Wilson, I'll live me and
it's all all goes to her. So there it is,
chocolate covered pretzel oreos. Look for them at your local
grocery store. But Angie, now we got to move on
to something with a twist. We're headed over to the

(34:28):
Album of the Week. All right, Angie, it's time for
Album of the Week, and once again it's full of
twists and turns in episode number seven of The Kyle
Peterson Show. As this week, we're not necessarily doing an album,
but we're doing a follow up from Toy News of

(34:49):
the Week. Of course, you guys remember real ones. Remember
for sure during the Toy News up until we started
this podcast. At the very end, I we do Album
of the Week. Well back, I want to say it
was the February ninth episode. I believe. I believe that's
where it was. We did do a rock and Roll
Hall of Fame discussion. Is they did announce the nominees
for the twenty twenty five class of the Rock and

(35:11):
Roll Hall of Fame. It's always intriguing to me about
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and it's always
intriguing how off base they are with a lot of
their selections. I know there's a bigger world than country, western,
outlaw country, heavy metal, black metal, all that kind of stuff,
even classic rock. I get it, there's more to it.
But the end of the day, it is the rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, and they've veered so far

(35:33):
from the rock in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It's unbelievable to me. And we are going to read
off the ones that are going to be inducted this year.
But I figured first i'd list off the nominees and
I will give a refresher of the ones I selected
from the nominee list, and Angie feel free to select.
So here's who is eligible in twenty twenty five. And Angie,

(35:54):
they said you got to pick five. So I don't
know if you're gona be able to remember all this,
but if you can, so eligible was bad company till
the day you die or I die. Of course, the
Black Crows, Mariah Carey, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol,
Joy Division, Slash New Order, and that's just ridiculous there.

(36:14):
Why don't we put Motorhead and the Headcat in together?
Then Cindy Lapper Mana, he said, Who's Mana? Oasis, Outcast Fish, Soundgarden,
and the White Stripes. Okay, so I'm sure you memorized
all of those right there, and you can't read my handwriting.
I don't think either, so trouble, but those were the

(36:35):
top five that were eligible. My pick of that top five.
First one was Outcast, just because my dad's a huge
Outcast fan. My dad rocking to hey y'all all day long,
of course, so I put Outcast in there. Not a
huge fan of the Black Crows, but I put them
in there. Billy Idol because it's always ready for a
white wedding around here, Rebel Yell, of course. And then
another band I'm not a huge fan of as well

(36:57):
was Fish, so I put Fish in there, and of course, last,
but certainly not least. I wanted to twist again like
I did last summer with a young Chubby Checker in
his nineties now, so that's why I put Outcasts, Black Crows,
Billie Idolfish, and Chubby Checker were my selections. Angie, do
you have anything that stands out for you?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
M I mean some of them, I guess. I don't
know how it works, but some of them seems like
too young to be in there.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
So that's the thing they had to have been. I
think it was it twenty five years from their first album, Okay,
But that's part of the problem with the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. They want to rush to get
a sound guard into the world in but then they
forget about status quo that started in the sixties, and
all these guys are dying off, and it just sucks
that you have like Motorhead whenever they go in, guess what,
the original band is all dead. It just sucks. Like

(37:42):
that's where seniority's got to come into play a little
bit more than it does. But it's about the money.
We say it all the time. It's follow the money.
That's all they care about. They don't care about celebrating
the real ones that should go in before some other ones.
But you got a five oh.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
God, if it's a lot, I would definitely put Cyndy
Lapper that you didn't.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Do, Okay, Billy Idol. Girls just want to have fun.
That's Angie's motto, So it makes sense. Billy Idol, Cindy
Black Crows, Black Crows.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
I mean, I like Oasis, but they seem like, for
some reason, this is their first year eligible it seems
too early.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yep, yep, what about Mana? How about Chubby Checker? You
gonna twist again? Good? Oh? Cast Fish Sound Garden.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Like White Stripes Young?

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yeah once again? So that's yours White Stripes or who
I don't know, Well, here is who ended up getting
in this year. It was Chubby Checker, So we're finally
gonna twist again. Now he really had one song, but
that was a staple to this day. And I remember
him at a grocery store signing, once upon a time,
maybe notta be a tales from retail is Me and

(38:51):
Chubby we twisted all day long over his vodka or
his beef jerky or whatever it was at the time. Uh,
Chubby Checker going in, Cindy Lapper going in Bad Company,
going in Outcast, going in Soundgarden, going in White Stripes
going in, and Joe Cocker going in. So Chubby Checker,
I feel is very deserved. Once again, he's been around forever.
S he's nineties, doesn't have a long time left, that

(39:13):
makes sense. Cindy Lapper personally, I'm not a big Cindy
Lapper fan, and I always judge these things over. Are
they more popular than Iron Maiden? Are they more popular
than Motorhead? Are they more popular than so many that
status quo? There's so many bands over the years that
aren't in How about the Monkeys? They're not even in there.
The Monkeys aren't in there. And I get some of
the stuff about it, but they should be in there.
I do feel and Cindy Lapper obviously what she selled

(39:36):
right now, I mean you go to right now. Iron
Maiden sells out stadiums across the world. Huge band, so
much influence. That's another thing that rock and roll always
says is hall of famely says influence. Influence is such
a big part of it. Sideye Lopper and she influenced
a lot of people, maybe in nineteen eighty three to
eighty seven, but it kind of died out after that,
but it is what it is. Bad Company nothing against
some of these seventies rock bands, but status quo right

(39:59):
off the back. Given a shout some love to my
England friends over there. There's so many bigger bands and
bad company, but Bad Company had the Paul McCartney send
a message what bad Company's done in rock and roll
Hall of Fame. Get Bad Company in there. So they
got in Outcast. I guess rock and roll Hall of Fame.
I don't know if we really classify them as rock
and roll, but definitely a groundbreaking wrap duo. Outcast, of course.

(40:21):
I hope. I am keeping my fingers crossed for my
dad especially that Sleepy Brown goes into the Hall of
Fame with him as well. My dad huge fan of
Sleepy Brown, as we do know. But outcast going in Soundgarden,
I don't know, a lot of people love Chris Cornell,
and I think a little bit, I hate to say
it is because he died. He's a little bit more
special since he died. That's usually what happens. But Soundgarden
only had like three albums something like that. How does

(40:43):
that warrant where Iron Maiden's been going. I keep picking
on Maiden because it's just the top of my head
all the time. But they've been going since the late seventies,
groundbreaking classic metal albums, selling out arenas across the world,
selling out stadiums. I don't know. I think there's just
too many favoritisms going on in here. A little White Stripes,
same thing, and how many albums do they have, I
don't know. They aren't even together anymore. So you got

(41:05):
White Stripes and then you got Joe Cocker and Joe
Cocker another guy, senior guy. Maybe if we can get
my dad to guest host, he can tell you about
the time he sat in the airport shooting the Breeze
with old Joe Cocker once upon a time. I think
it was San Francisco Airport, I think is where he
was at. But Joe Cocker did a lot of cover songs.
He didn't even write a lot of his songs, and
some say he did the best rendition whatever. Joe Cocker

(41:27):
going in and then they did something special where they
kind of gave two free Hall of Fame passes to
two different acts, basically giving them in where maybe they
weren't going to be voted in, and they said they
were based on influence and what they did well. Once again,
why is Motorhead? Why is Ronnie James dio? Why is
Iron Maidean not getting this award? They gave it to
Warren Zevon.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
You know the.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Werewolves of London. I love a good song about a werewolf,
but that's about where it ends to me and the
other band going in Salt and Peppa, Come on, come on,
how many if you go to the mall, you're gonna
at least see one Iron Maiden shirt? You ever see
anybody wearing a Salt and Pepper shirt? Really, we're Spinderella,
she involved in all this too, And I just don't

(42:10):
know DoD Salt Pepper have enough good songs to really
warrant rock and roll Hall of Fame, it just seems
way extremely They're not and roll. They're not even rock
and roll. It's just unbelievable. Like Ryan James died when
what really they were gonna push it real good? Is
what I heard. But it just blows my mind where
an iron Maiden has influenced how many people to even

(42:31):
pick up a guitar? Where Salt and Pepper really got
anybody up? Is Queen Latifa in? Can we get her in? Yet?
Where's third Base? And where's cool Mode? Are they in
the Hall of Fame? They better be of Salt and Peppers.
It's got to be coming soon. I'm sure all these
guys Notory's big. They're all coming soon. But it just
blows my mind the way this one works right here.

(42:54):
I just I don't understand it. Every every year I'm
gonna get all fired up. I always get fired up
every year. But it just doesn't make a lot of
sense to me. And obviously I'm very I'm very biased
by my love of rock and classic rock and metal
and stuff, and I understand enough genres to know people
that got in, even Cindy Loppera. I'm not saying she
doesn't deserve to go in. She did a whole craze,
of course, her rock and wrestling. A lot of people

(43:15):
watching this probably love that. But man, she's not above
a lot of these other bands that just have never
even sniffed a nomination. It's just wild to me, Like
Judas Priest had to go in the back door, and
you know, Rob Halford's okay with that. I think in
Angie too, but the it's just wild to me that
I don't know, it is what it is.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
It is if people feel the same way about the
Grammys and stuff too.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
A lot of people are I don't even invite me.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
And the Grammys died long ago, and everybody always jokes
about it. When Jethro Toll beat Metallica for the Heavy
Metal Album of the Year back in like the nineties,
just absolutely wild there as well. So I don't know
what's going on in this world. It's just a world
I don't want to be in anymore. Somebody give me
a gorilla. I'm gonna fight at one on one. That's
how I'm gonna leave this world. How did Kyle die
by gorilla. That's what happened. So there it is. That

(44:02):
is the album of the week with a twist this week,
a little rock and roll Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
It really threw my Cindy unto the Cindy leppera under
the bus.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
That's all right, you know there's you're part of the problem,
that's all we can say. Part of the problem there
who knows, but there it is. But now, Angie, it's
time for an interesting story. They're all interesting, aren't they.
It's time for tales from retail. All right, Angie, it's

(44:33):
time for tales from retail, the segment that sweeping the nation.
Of course, a favorite segment, you better settle in. But
I did pick a little bit of a shorter story
this week because I have a feeling we were going
to gibber jabber a long time about the gorilla versus man.
I had a feeling that was going to take up
some of the episodes. So picked a shorter story right
here for the Tales from Retail. But this is an

(44:53):
interesting one, going back to when I was fourteen years old.
The olden days is some may column. I guess yesterday
was the olden day, depending where you go. But Angie.
I don't think you ever heard this story, but maybe
you have. It was me back when I was fourteen
and some circles I was known as the compactor kid.
You know the story. Have I told you the story?

Speaker 3 (45:11):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Age, you're familiar with grocery store compactors, so it's interesting.
Compactors come a long way, and let's really deep dive
into the evolution of the compactor of trash. Now that's
riveting podcast material, of course, but it's wild as it
was before my time. But I heard a lot of
old timers talk about it that a lot of grocery
stores at one time had like an incinerator where it

(45:33):
was a big like ash. You threw your cardboard, you
threw your garbage, you shut it down, you turn it
on and it fired and burned all your garbage. Well, laws,
environmental laws and stuff got rid of all that. Then
a lot of grocery stores and a lot of less
than grocery stores, let's call it. In this day and age.
And you've seen some of these too. It's almost like
a rectangular contrapment on the floor. It's kind of like

(45:53):
got a cage on it. You throw your cardboard in
there and you slam the gate down, you push the
button and it crunches it all down instant, repeat till
the bundle's full. Then you gotta you know, make a bandle,
make a bail, pull it out. So a lot of
the smaller grocery stores have that kind of stuff. Targets,
target targets, have those targets still have those really target
what are we doing? Well, no walmarts too, Yeah, these

(46:14):
are the only ones that have like the shoot where
it actually well that's a real store, that's a real
grocery store. That's probably a lot. But the grocery store
I worked at as a kid had the one where
it was basically a big door in the wall and
you open the door, you threw everything in and it
would be like kind of a shoot that goes around
and it went into a big dumpster and then of
course once a week whenever it may be, the dumpster

(46:34):
came picked up, the recycling off they went. And one
thing is if you ever i mean this is at
least an armor here. If you ever need to get
rid of cardboard, and we do this a lot around here,
you take it to the grocery store because grocery stores
really do like your cardboard because they get paid by
the recycling company for that. So we have a lot
of boxes coming into this house. I would say, you

(46:54):
take a lot of that boxes and you recycle it,
and the stores are happy to take it, throw it
in the shoote be gone with it, and you know,
they get the money from it and we get it
out of our house. So that's always nice. But the compactor,
when I was a kid, you know, I think even
when I was a kid, I don't know if there
was a separate one for garbage. I think everything just
went and won back then maybe, but a long time ago.
This is like the nineteen forty forties, I think, as

(47:15):
we did find out I am eighty one years old
a couple of weeks ago. But the compactor, of course,
as you can imagine, especially these big ones with the shoots,
you throw boxes in. All of a sudden it get
stuffed up, and you've got to make sure, you know,
once you put a good amount in there, throw one box,
maybe not, but once you get a good amount in there,
you got to close the door, you got to push
the button, and there's like a little ledge there and

(47:36):
it just kind of does one of those kind of things,
squeezes it all together, slowly retracts, and then it falls
down the chute into the thing. So what would happen, though,
is people would load this thing up and they would
just get it and you'd hit that and it would
get jammed, it would get stuck. That would happen all
the time. It was horrible. And a lot of times
they'd had like a big broom handle poll in there

(47:56):
and people would be sitting in there trying to jam
on jamming and all that stuff. But when that wouldn't work,
you know what happened. Somebody would get on the phone
in the store, of course, And that's a whole nother
story we could talk about. One day, is uh doing
pages over the intercom? That was one of my favorite
things to do, of course. But you'd hit the old
seven zero and that would go over the loudspeak. You'd
hear the little buzz Kyle to the compactor, Please, Kyle

(48:19):
to the compactor, So the compactor kid was on his way.
I got it exactly, I loved it, and I was
fourteen years old. I felt like I was a big
thing exactly right. So this whole story is before I
believe the OSHA laws.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Took it took out when you were still smoking in
the office and that's yeah, gotch in your desk.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
There was a lot going and oh the stories I
could tell, not my desk but management desk. But uh, yeah,
you weren't even allowed to do this kind of stuff.
Like there was so much stuff now that I used
to be able to. Like you couldn't operate electric palette jacks,
you couldn't do the compactors. There was so much stuff
you couldn't do that. You know, we just did bad
thing because that was the way. But they would call

(49:00):
me back there and I'd say, boys, what's the problem?
Maybe like that, I was like, hey, boys, what's what's
going on here? Guys?

Speaker 5 (49:05):
What I need?

Speaker 1 (49:06):
What do you need me for? And you know, Kyle
was the guy who's up for anything. I'm always up
to do something. And it was so funny as I
was fourteen, and like the shift managers at the time
were like eighteen years old, but they could have been
forty years old to a fourteen year old.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
It was.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
It's wild in that age range of fourteen to twenty,
how you're very close in age, but you feel like
you're distant in age. And I remember even being like
nineteen years old and a shift manager would be yelling
or something, and I'm like, wait a minute, this guy's
only a year older than me. Why am I? I'm
not taking this from you? And then I go back
to him and fight. But when you're fourteen, you know,
a twenty year old's like, oh my gosh, he must

(49:40):
be my dad. Be my dad. But what day we
used to do is the compactor would get full. They
used the broom, couldn't get that going on, and they say, Kyle,
it's time. And I'd be like, let's do it.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
Boys, you did not climb in there.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Yeah, So what they would do is they'd help me
up and we'd get in there and I would climb
into the compactor and I would slide down the chute
inside there and I'd get the old shoes then.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
And you know what sucked too, is back then the
grocers aren't quite like this anymore. Times have changed, I
guess for good and for bad. Times have changed. I
used to have to wear a tie every single day,
a tie clip, nice dress khakis, nice dress shirts, and
I would be jumping in this compactor. But it's the
life I chose at fourteen years old was in the
cardboard compactor. I think it was everything back then. Yeah,

(50:23):
I don't know, but so bad. Maybe it was just cardboard,
but either way, it was there. But they would throw
me in this shoes and I'd always say, guys, don't
push the button, don't push the button, and you know,
and of course these guys, oh, I'm gonna push the button.
Don't push the button. Don't push the button. I don't
want to be murdered. But I would get down there
and I'd be sitting there and I'd be kicking. I'd
be kicking on the compact or trying to get it loose,

(50:44):
trying to tie it loose, you know, and all that
kind of stuff, and it's wild to think. And Angie,
I don't know if you've ever seen Star Wars. I
think you tried, but you couldn't do it. It was
just too much for you. But we all remember Star
Wars when like Luke and Chewie and Han and Lea,
they're in like the car, the cardboard packtor, the garbage compactor,
and the things are going on that I was always

(51:06):
having that my brain saying, oh my gosh, these things
are gonna I'm gonna get done down here. They're gonna
accidentally push that button, and I'm gonna be sitting in
there trying to climb my way out. It's gonna be
just like Star Wars, and it's gonna be like right
at the end where I'm like, oh oh, and then
it stops and it goes back the other way. I
thought for sure somebody was gonna play that trick on me.
That would be an evil trick. But never quite happened
that way. But there was times where I'm, you know,

(51:27):
getting out, I'm climbing up. I get my hand on there,
and then the guy pushes, and I'm like, are you
kidding me?

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Pushing it?

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I'm still in here. But I used to jump in
there all the time because I was so little. I
was the little guy. I could get down there and
I could crunch it all down. Sometimes they'd hand me
the broomstick and I'd be sitting in there. I'd be
churning butter right there. I'd be down in there, just
absolutely wild. What happened to grocery stores back in the day.
I'm sure a lot of businesses had crazy things like that,
But the managers would be firing. The story wud be

(51:53):
shut down if something like that happened, it'd be all
over the news that the kid got caught in the compactor.
They're throwing kids down there to try to undo the
shoot wild Wild time. That's where I became the compactor kid.
Once upon a.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Time, I've seen a couple of people climbing a compactor.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
It's people accidentally throw their tablets or their phones down
there when they're there.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
It's like kids in elementary school and they accidentally throw
their retainer. My tablet was in there well, and we
know a thing or two about lost tablets. It was
that episode one might have been episode one or two
where we talked about the lost tablet story where I
had to punch a girl right in the face. Lady,
give her one of those. But man, the compactor a
dangerous game. I don't think they let people get thrown

(52:34):
in there anymore. Yeah, once upon a time we did.
So there it is that is tales from Retail. But Angie,
we got to finish up this episode. We got some
giveaways to do, we got a Question of the Week,
and we got some reviews to read. Time to close
up shop on another episode, of Kyle Peterson Show. Angie,
thanks for coming here once again. But today before we

(52:55):
finished about it, oh my, she is not really you
are anyway anyway, all right, we got to finish up,
of course, this episode of the Kyle Peterson Show, and
of course we got the question of the week and
Angie give us a question.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Okay, so ANT six Soldier, Kyle loved the show. Brother,
I look forward to it every Tuesday. Question, how do
you just survive on five hours of sleep every three
business days?

Speaker 1 (53:26):
You know I've already sleep every three business days. Somebody
has been paying attention to the podcasts. Of course, got
to give a special shout out to the announcer, of course,
each and every week, the golden voice of one Midwest
professional wrestling legend, Gaye Octane. And I guess he could
maybe be the co host the week you're on vacation. Possibly,
maybe we'll do that one. We'll see what happens. He

(53:47):
might replace you get her. He might be good, So
we'll see, we'll see what happens. But uh on on
T six Soldier all in cap so you know it's
a serious question on selling cap so, but that is
coming from the announcement where gay J Octane did read,
of course, the opening to the show, So shout to
Gaye Octane for that kind of stuff. But I think

(54:09):
I sleep a little bit more than that. But I
don't sleep as much as I used to. I used
to sleep a lot. Now I don't sleep a lot.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
It drives me, actually makes me worry that you're going
to stroke out or in one of these days.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
They need at least.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Seven or eight is what they said for men.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Women need a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Yeah, you do you get like twelve? Well do you
say you're up all the time, But whenever I come
into bed, you're usually out pretty cold? But I did.
Though she doesn't go to bed early. I'm like, she's like,
it's about six forty five. Well it's about that time.
It's about that time. It's six forty five. I better
go wind down.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
Eight thirty.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
I go up and I watch Somer and then I
go and then I'm up at five five thirty.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
So we're thinking about starting a Patreon exclusive and YouTube
channel membership. Shout to the Patreon if you want early
access to this podcast, video cast, YouTube channel memberships as well.
We might do a monthly video over there where Angie
does Angie's ASMR, So maybe we'll do that. Now, could
you get to sleep to your own AMR?

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Life?

Speaker 1 (55:05):
It is live, we're talking about could you get ASMR
to yourself? Could you sleep to your own ASMR? No,
that's interesting. It's an interesting thought.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
We'll have to test to be judging myself the whole time.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Maybe maybe, But yeah, I should sleep more and I
just have too much going on. Of course, I edit
all these videos. Some people think you edit the videos,
which is interesting. I've had that same. Does your wife
do a lot of your editing for you? No, nobody
does any of my editing, and I would love to
have somebody to help me with my editing. But the
problem with that is there's so many things that I
throw in there that nobody knows, Like so many things like, oh,

(55:37):
that guy's huge striper fan Q striper video that goes
over a lot of people's heads, or I remember the
time I got arrested at McDonald's. Then you throw up
a picture of Ken Petera that goes over people's heads.
So I don't know if people could edit my videos,
but who knows? Who knows? But that is the question
of the week. Ange. If you want to be a
question of the week, send it to Kyle Peterson Show
at gmail dot com or put it in the YouTube

(55:58):
comments below. But we're not done. We asked last week

Manally a long time Jeff Manali, I've known Jeff for

(58:31):
a long time as well. A great show. Don't have
Apple Music, so I'm leaving five stars in a review
on Spotify that works as well. And he did the
right thing. He sent it to me via email. I
love this podcast. Tune in every week on YouTube since
its inception, all of six weeks ago. Yeah, that's true.
As a person who's worked in retail for over twenty
three years. Love hearing all the tales from retail stories.

(58:53):
And I'm sure if you've been in the salt mines
for twenty three years, you got a story or two.
Who knows, maybe you're gonna compact our kid once upon
a time. I love every segment. Actually, keep up the
great work, guy and Gal. There you go, very nice there,

Kid approved, that's what it is. But Mike Cummings, of course,
a guy that's been through the robot war is a
time or two. He is the winner here of this book. So,
Jeff and of course Mike, I will get a copy

(59:36):
of this book out to you asap. So I appreciate
all the support on that. We'll do a few other
things too. I got to figure out a way to
do some giveaways and stuff, of course, to keep growing
the podcast. Hopefully some figure giveaways, who knows, maybe some
kiss cards from Angie giveaways, maybe something like that. Maybe
we'll get a gorilla. I don't know what we'll do.
We'll figure out. We'll figure something out. But appreciate all

(59:57):
the support out there, Angie and I do on the podcast.
Hopefully guys are joined the videos every single Tuesday, of
