The Black Curtain Club
Beaches, Weddings, and Digital Cowboys: Our Summer Adventures
The Black Curtain Club kicks off Season 2 with a nostalgic bang as Kyle and Angi reconnect after their summer adventures.
Kyle's journey back to Connecticut for a cousin's wedding turned into a travel nightmare, yet amid the chaos came profound family moments, particularly when all the cousins gathered under one roof for the first time in nearly two decades.
Angi's Hilton Head vacation delivered both relaxation and adventure, from her mind-blowing first experience at Buc-ee's (complete with 120 gas pumps and a legendary brisket sandwich) to a private dolphin tour and fulfilling a bucket list item by participating in paranormal investigation using the Estes Method – a ghost hunting technique involving spirit boxes and sensory deprivation that delivered genuinely spine-tingling results.
The conversation takes a surprisingly emotional turn when Angi reveals that she finally completed Red Dead Redemption 2, a gaming experience so powerful it made her cry three times – something she'd never experienced with any video game before. Her emotional attachment to her in-game horse "Cheese" and the character's journey became so profound that she sent Kyle a voice message of her sobbing after a particularly moving game sequence, creating a shared moment of genuine connection through digital storytelling.
Season 2 is already shaping up to be more personal and engaging than ever. Tell a friend about the show, leave a rating or comment, and join us as we continue exploring life's adventures – both digital and real – from behind The Black Curtain.

Speaker 2:You got to try Buc-ee's. Yeah, oh my God, you got to try Buc-ee's. Hell yeah.
Speaker 1:Yes, first time ever at a Buc-ee's, and let me tell you this one that we we stopped at. I've never seen a place this bit, I mean like a gas, and basically it's like a gas station, right. 120, 120 pumps yep, you went to the big one hell yeah, and and so you know like trying to find a place to get gas was interesting in itself, but then you walk in. It's like a whole new world.
Speaker 1:It's like a whole new world I just, I just have never experienced anything like that. It was literally like a sea of people like full, with like a current going this way and a current of people going the other way and people grabbing sandwiches and like all kinds of I mean. It was crazy yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I did take your recommendation and I tried the brisket sandwich.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah.
Speaker 1:It was good I have to tell you. It was a hell of a sandwich, yeah yeah, hell yeah, but the uh did you did you check?
Speaker 2:did you get to check out the bathroom there? No, no, because apparently that that was a brand new thing to me, like the first time I went to a bucky's, I had to go to, uh, I had to go to houston for work a couple years, uh, last year, before, something like that one that was my first time at a bucky's in houston and uh, I was telling them because, oh, like I haven't had anything from there, you know, and they were just like oh you gotta oh my god, you gotta go, you gotta get this, you gotta think.
Speaker 2:I was like, all right, and now this was just a normal gas station with like 10 pumps, like eight to ten pumps. It was literally just like a gas station. But it was still like dude, it was next level. But they were always like, make sure you go to the bathroom, check out the back. I was like why is there, like I, what's so good about the bathroom? He goes like that's one of the things that bucky's is known for is having the cleanest bathrooms. I was like, for listen, you guys aren't really selling me on this place. If, like, what they're known for is having clean bathrooms, I don't know if I want to try the food. And there was like no the spood.
Speaker 2:The spood spood speaks for itself. Yeah, the food speaks for itself. I was like okay, fine. I was like bro, I'm like okay, yeah, it's a clean bathroom.
Speaker 1:That's dope, you know, so is mine sometimes yeah, no, I, I didn't know the bathrooms was a thing it was. I was lucky one grab a sandwich and then I grabbed some beaver nuggets.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely got some of those.
Speaker 1:Actually, I still have like half a bag here at the house and it's been a while.
Speaker 2:Bless you. Bless you for having self-control. I don't think I would have made it to the destination. I would have just I would have threw them at my face at mock fuck. I would have just by, like what is it? Meiosis, mitosis, whatever it is with the cells? I would have just absorbed it into my face. They're so good, they're so good, they are really good.
Speaker 1:Um, and then just trying to get through the sea of people to get like, look at all the bucky gear.
Speaker 1:Um, because I, you know, I wanted to get a couple t-shirts and you, you know just some things, cause I didn't know if I, when I'll ever be back to another Bucky's, um, but yeah, that was a hell of an experience. I cannot tell you how excited Candy was, um, and I know you don't know Candy, but literally okay. So we drove, drove like halfway, we stayed at a hotel. She found this bucky's and we went like a half an hour out of the trip.
Speaker 1:so you know, we took a half an hour detour you took a detour, bucky's, I thought you're gonna pass one fuck, yeah, no, no, just a detour just to go to bucky's and, uh like, when she was driving and this was only at the intersection, and we see Bucky, we see the sign, we see it's like you know, like the heavens open up, she starts doing this dance and screaming and she was so excited I'm I so she got to go and she got to have her picture made with Bucky, so I had to. I'm so glad that she got that experience. That was wild.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, bucky's man Closest we get. I don't know if you have them in your area. Still, I know they got them in like Pennsylvania and Jersey, which is a bit of a hike. You guys got Wawa's over there.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Bummer, which is a bit of a hike. You guys got wawa's over there. No, uh, bummer, I grew up on that shit which is like it's like new england-esque, I really. I say I don't know where the fuck it's from, it's east coast. I'll say it's like east coast monkeys. It's kind of like that staple gas station, um, you know, deli sandwich shop, whatever the hell is the gas station that's got decent ass food.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I grew up on, but we have sheets yeah, sheets, yeah, so I mean, you know, the only thing that I can't live without are their mozzarella sticks. There's something about the sheets mozzarella sticks. I don't know what they put in them, god, they're so good. So we did um a couple really cool things.
Speaker 1:You want me to tell you about them yeah yeah that sounded so pretentious so we got to go on a dolphin tour. Well, we saw wild dolphins everywhere. A lot of the things that we did was like planned, like last minute. We were just like, hey, what are we going to do? Oh, we want to do this, and so we were hauling around trying to find some places because we wanted to go, like the next day to do dolphin tour, or so they have some islands there that are, you know, depending on the tide, they you can either see them or they disappear, and there's like you can go shelling and so we want to do something cool like this.
Speaker 1:So we ended up talking to Dolphin Discoveries of Hilton Head and I have to give a shout out to them and a special shout out to Captain Craig. Captain Craig was amazing. Candy and I ended up on a private boat tour and he took us to a couple really cool islands. We got some really, really cool shells. He just took us like everywhere and he just took really good care of it. He was hell of a good time. But the coolest thing is we got to pet some dolphins. We didn't get to feed them because I think there's like some legalities there, but we definitely got to play with them a little bit and that was so cool.
Speaker 1:That was so cool to have like a little one-on-one. So shout out to Captain Craig Thank you so much for taking care of Angie and Candy, if you remember us. Hell yeah, hell yeah for taking care of uh, angie and candy, if you remember us. Hell yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2:I, I'm not, I'm neither of them, captain craig, but thank you very much then we went into savannah, which I have to tell you is that, that song so captain craig told us about this.
Speaker 1:I'm just ignoring that, I'm just so, I'm trying to think if it, I feel like it was the. It's a Marriott hotel in Savannah. So Kath and Craig told us about this and he was like if you go, you've got to check this out. So in this hotel they have like dinosaur bones.
Speaker 1:Fossils it's like you walk fossils. They're fossilized bones, okay. So, anyway, you walk into this massive hotel and you're greeted by a stainless steel replica of some I can't remember what dinosaur it is um like the fossilized bones but it's it's all in stainless steel, so you're greeted by that, but they have like tons of like fossils and gemstones. And when I say like gemstones I'm saying like there was a geode that you could crawl into and take a nap in.
Speaker 2:It was humongous A ruby the size of a tangerine. That was a solid Michael Caine, Hold on. Shout outs to me.
Speaker 1:That was fucking solid. I think I've done michael cain twice including. Then go on. Yeah, that was good shout out to you, uh. So the coolest thing, though, we got to do and this is like right up my alley we went like an actual ghost hunting experience.
Speaker 2:So I thought you went to the world's biggest bathtub for a bubble bath. No, well, I mean trust me if they would have had that, I would have opted for that, yes.
Speaker 1:Shout out to Ghost Hunters of Savannah Paranormal Investigation. I know that's a mouthful. I think our tour guide's name was Katie, If I got that wrong. I'm so sorry. And the cool thing was that they had all of this state-of-the-art equipment. So they had, like, laser grids, they had REM pods, Like anything that you can think of equipment-wise to go ghost hunting. They had that and you could actually use that equipment, Sure sure. Phantasmal bugs. What?
Speaker 2:Nothing Proceed.
Speaker 1:Wait, my brain just emptied. What did you say?
Speaker 2:I said sure, sure, Phantasmal bugs. It's a Bob's Burger reference. They have an episode where they have a couple of ghost hunters come in because they think the restaurant Never mind Go.
Speaker 1:Okay, I've never watched Bob's Burgers, so that was lost on me.
Speaker 2:remember you haven't seen it next, next, please. Yeah, you're hurting me. You're hurting me about that.
Speaker 1:I know you're hurting me um, but I got to do one of my bucket list things, which was the estes method of investigating. Do you know what that is? I have, I've nope, absolutely no clue okay, so um do you know what a spirit box is?
Speaker 2:yeah, badass fucking band from canada shout out spirit box.
Speaker 1:Baby, I love you I do, I do like spirit box, yeah no, I have no clue what a spirit box is. So what this is? It's basically almost like a specialized radio that it's constantly scanning radio frequencies.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And the thought behind that is that the spirits can pick up on those frequencies and actually talk through those frequencies. So what you do is you basically you hook up the spirit box to a set of headphones and what the user does is you're blindfolded and you have your headphones on, like noise canceling headphones, and the only thing that you can hear is what's coming through the spirit box. And you're blindfolded, so, like your, your senses are as dulled as possible as to your environment.
Speaker 2:So, what.
Speaker 1:What happens is the people that are in the room, they ask questions or they talk to whatever spirits are in the room, and then your job if you're the one that that you know has the headphones on and all that you're just repeating what you hear, and so, basically, you know it's, it's really up to the people in the room that that have to give you some validation you know they're, they're the validators that what you're hearing is actually like a response to whatever questions, cause, like, I have no idea what they were asking, all I'm, all I'm getting is, like it would say like um, uh, it, it. It kept saying like a sequence of numbers, um, and then, like there were certain phrases that it kept repeating, and you know so that that was really cool. Um, there was a girl on our tour. She got really freaked out because she wanted to try it, and as soon as she got the blindfold on and put the headphones on, something through that that said her name uh fuck that noise.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fuck that and that's exactly what she said.
Speaker 2:She was like nope, nope, I'm, I'm done, I'm I would be, I'd be, I'd be so fucking out like I would literally you know what? I wouldn't. Even I was gonna say I would do the scooby-doo thing. We're like go, go, go, go, like run in place and then run, and like my beard would follow afterwards. I think I would literally just like I dream of genie, just like cross my arms and like nod my head and I'm somewhere else. I would be out of there, so fucking fast oh, man, I was.
Speaker 1:I mean, this was like. This was, like you know, my, my happy place. I, I was, so it was.
Speaker 2:It was so much fun and I just that's your happy place of it yeah, yeah, see I like weird shit. Do you, do you or have you seen a therapist?
Speaker 1:I have seen this is my happy place?
Speaker 2:fucking ghost hunting in savannah, georgia, jesus christ. Most people say the beach, some people say, like you know the woods, fuck, even like a store, a bookstore Barnes and Noble. This is my happy place. No, no. 18th century haunted asylums.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:This is I am. I am zen here. Yeah, this is this is where I go for a good time.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so that was kind of like the long and short of my vacation. It was both long and short at the same time, but it was much needed.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:But yeah.
Speaker 2:That's flight, and then my cousin's wedding.
Speaker 1:Aw.
Speaker 2:Well, no, my cousin's wedding. It was like it was, like it was something like I, like she was. I don't know if I talked about it last one, but she was like the first of like the baby cousins and shit was weird shit was weird that like, dude, she's like getting married and shit, and one of my cousins did the math.
Speaker 2:And by did did the math was that like kind of asked it in like a group chat that my aunt had put together. That was the first time that all of the cousins were together and under the same roof in an obnoxiously long time.
Speaker 2:When I say obnoxiously long time when I say obnoxiously long time, I think obnoxiously long time. I think I was in middle school the last time all of us were together because, like, oh wow, the oldest cousin joined the navy and he, he's been all over the world for the past shit, two decades coming on. I gotta be close. It's closer to 20 than 10 in in years that he's been in the military and same thing. You know, these ones live in that state and that state. So it's literally the first time in an insanely long time that all of the cousins were together under the same roof, which was pretty wild.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we went up to see my grandparents a couple of days before the wedding and, um, they're both, they're both, I mean, they're both old, but uh, grandma's grandma's got grandma's got some, uh, she's got some, uh, some brain issues going on. And my grandfather god bless him, he's on, like his, I think he's on his third set of knees um, my grandfather can't move, he, he can't, he can't really move all that well. So it's hard for him to come down to my parents to visit so we gotta go to them, which I have no problem going out there uh for sure it's so.
Speaker 2:So we got to see at my grandparents house, um, my oldest cousin was staying there with his daughter. Then when we show up with our daughters and, like I said, grandma kind of forgot you know, she's like, oh, there's, oh, my god, like she recognized, like my wife and my and my mother, obviously, her daughter, um yeah and whatnot.
Speaker 2:And then she saw the girls. She recognized the girls, but she had forgotten, like her, relation to the girls and she'd asked like my wife. She asked me like my wife, my mother goes who? Like I know them? But you know it was like who were they to me? I think she says, yes, those are your great-granddaughters, and she goes.
Speaker 2:Apparently she had. I was outside with my father saying hi to my aunt and uncle who were leaving. I didn't get to see it but, yeah, both my mom and my wife had told me that it's like my grandmother had this unbelievable, like just so much light and joy in her face.
Speaker 1:That's so sweet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so at that moment I think we got a couple of pictures of it. But she had all of her great grandkids with her.
Speaker 2:She had three great granddaughters with her, so that was that was incredibly magical and very, very special, oh that's great For us, for us to be there for that Cause it was just really like, just Because it was just really like, just it wasn't a whole lot of people my toddler she gets a little skittish around some people, so like around my grandfather, around guys specifically, around males specifically. So she was kind of like she'll kind of like stay away from like my cousin and my grandfather were on one side of the room. She kind of stayed closer to like my mother and my wife and my grandmother.
Speaker 2:But before you know it, she warmed up and she's got her little dance routine. She's doing for everybody, she's laughing and she's joking. She said look at me, I'm a ballerina and I'll dance hip, I'll do this, and she's just the life of the party. Just, it was, it was nice, it was really really. Uh, it was something. It was really something for uh for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was nice and um, I got to have got to have my favorite pizza. I got to have my favorite restaurant in the whole wide world, my favorite beer. None of that shit comes out here anymore, man. Then we're finally, we're finally getting. We're finally getting yingling in michigan and I'm so happy. We literally get it like I can. I can get it tomorrow. Yeah, I think august 1st I can get it. It's gonna be a place I can get it tomorrow. Oh, I'm so.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry you've had to live that long without yingling oh yeah, it's been a special.
Speaker 2:It's been a special treat. Whenever family came out to visit, they made sure to bring it so to see. This is why we love christina so much, I think it was for luna's sort of.
Speaker 2:In his second birthday. She was, uh, she was coming out and um, she was like hey, do you guys want anything? You know I'm driving out. Do you want us to? You know I can bring more stuff with me. What do you want? And typically I was like oh, not this one. I was like yangling, I'm fucking dying for yangling. She bought 224. She came out with 50 beers for me it was great, oh, it was great.
Speaker 2:24 of them 24 of them didn't make it through the day the first day. We drank a case that night. The other one lasted me. I shared one of the cases. The other one, that 24, was just for me, which is great, because my wife doesn't drink beer.
Speaker 1:You didn't hoard them back like Smeagol, like my precious.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I was hoarding them like Smaug. I slept on top of those. I literally ate any one or set them on fire if they looked at them. Yeah, I would harden them. I should like Smaug I fucking love it man.

Speaker 1:What are you going to do?
Speaker 2:Oh God.
Speaker 1:So you know we're doing this new format right. We're going to try for 30-minute episodes and shorter content and I have to say I thought, like our vacation talk would be like 10 minutes and then I could tell you that I finished Red Dead Redemption.
Speaker 2:But I can't because we're at the end of the half hour. Well, I guess we just got to have another one, oh no, an entire episode to talk about Red Dead Redemption 2.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have to.
Speaker 2:We have to Now that I'm through the game I want you, I want, I need you to know. I need you to know something. I've gotten quite a few messages in my life. I've gotten quite a few. What is it like a voice memos, like sound clips? Whatever? The one you sent me is probably one of my most cherished ones.
Speaker 1:The one where I'm like sobbing and crying.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'll let you say it first. I mean this with my whole ass chest. I'm so serious. I'm so serious because you know how much this game means to me and to hear you see me, because I'm a stupid guy, I can't actually like talk about or actually feel those emotions, but the fact that you audibly express the emotions I have towards that game, it was fantastic. But yes, yeah, it was like seven o'clock in the morning when I woke up. I looked at my phone oh, voice message I played it was the best.
Speaker 1:It was the best, it really was so I cried three times at this game and I've never cried at a video game ever, ever in my entire life. So I I mean this game has been out for a while, so I don't feel like this is yeah, so spoiler alert spoiler alert yeah, if you haven't played it, you're on your own fucking problems, right?
Speaker 1:but I was really upset. Um well, I'll just say it this way there's, there's a gunfight where some of the characters you've been with for a while don't make it um, and there was one particular character that the game's been out for a long time, you could just name drop them well, I know, but I, I don't listen when we do the episode.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna yeah, so when we do the episode we'll get into it. So but then okay, so early on in the game you get enough money and you can go buy a horse, right, and I know that there's like this whole thing where you know you can go and you know get tame horses and you could have a whole stable full of horses. But I developed a relationship with my horse that I named Cheese Cheese and early on I was really upset because I thought I lost cheese like I went in to do something and the horse was gone and I was like where the fuck is cheese like cheese is gone.
Speaker 1:I was so upset, but anyway I I got cheese back, played the whole game with cheese and the fuckers killed my horse right at the end.
Speaker 2:They killed your cheese. They cut your cheese right there.
Speaker 1:They cut my cheese, and that's when I started crying. I started crying at that point because of like you there's, it's like a really climatic climactic oh, yeah, okay, okay yeah.
Speaker 2:I was about to say you're underselling this.
Speaker 1:You need to build the emotion against it, like you're being shot at, you are, you are under heavy fire yes, and and like it is it is, your life is on the line and the life of your best friend is on the line and they've killed your horse and everyone's like we got to go and he's like wait a minute.
Speaker 2:He took the moment to kneel.
Speaker 1:To kneel and to caress and kiss and tell her. And say thank you, thank you, and tell and tell her like thank you, thank you, like you've you've been a you've like you've you. Oh, I'm gonna get upset crying about cheese again oklahoma, where this song right oklahoma. But yeah, so that that started the crying and then like so I'm literally trying to play the rest of the game with like tears on my eyes and I'm like trying to like I gotta be able to see fight and shoot and fight off all this other crap yeah, and it's.
Speaker 1:It's literally like I mean you're, you're playing so hard at that moment like my, my hands are getting sore from playing.
Speaker 2:Your hands probably look like your character's face at that point. They're just so.
Speaker 1:So mangled like cramping, but then the end of that game. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2:And you know that I tried. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1:Well see, I didn't know anything. You know like I don't. I didn't know anything about the honor system when I first started, so I went a little crazy.
Speaker 2:So you're playing this game like it's GTA.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was playing, getting a lot of frustration out Like I would, you know, just be like oh, I've had a shitty day, so I'm just just gonna go kill a train full of people?
Speaker 2:um, not out of context that sounds fucked up, yeah uh.
Speaker 1:So then I had to. I was on the struggle bus for a long time to get my honor back up, so I had the good ending and the perfect ending and and that's what I ended up getting, and I'm so glad that I did. It was so beautiful oh yeah, because the bad endings.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh god, the bad endings you'd been. You thought you were mad at the way the game ended then, oh, you would have literally screamed.
Speaker 1:You'd have literally screamed yeah, I, I did a little cheating and I read about the bad because I was like, well, what's the bad ending what? Because there's a choice you have to make, right, and I remember you telling me.
Speaker 2:There's, I think there's four, I think there's four different endings. You can high honor. High honor go with John and low honor go with john. High honor get the money, low honor, get the money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and and so like I I was so like I know I need to make good choices and I'm so glad that I made the choices that I did because I got the high honor. Go with john uh ending and all I wanted to and all I wanted to. I wanted to see that stag, you know in the sunset or the sunrise and and the music, that song that's playing.
Speaker 1:I mean they, oh my God, Like they don't shake. Yeah, it's just man, and and well, and, and I will back up and say I remember you telling me that there was. You go for like a last ride, there's sort of like a cinematic, and you go for like a last ride and there's this music playing. That was an emotional moment.
Speaker 2:That's the way it is that song. Yeah, that's the way it is.
Speaker 1:That was a very emotional I I just. I've never played a game that immersed you so heavily that it, it it brought out all these emotions. I it just, and we will do a longer episode on this. But you know, god bless I'm I am both. I'm so happy that you uh, you didn't really make me, but you taught, you talked about it in such a way that I was, like, wanted to play the game you got.
Speaker 2:You gotta see what it's like.
Speaker 1:I didn't like hold you down, it was like you gotta play this fucking game, but right, yeah, but I was like all right, this dude's like I know what this game meant to you, so like uh-huh and how it's like shaped you in.
Speaker 1:You know, in a certain way, um and so I wanted to play it, because you know curiosity and you know I I do like video games, um, but I'm so glad that I did and uh, but I'm also kind of like oh, my god, you put me through the ringer by making me play this game I mean you put me through the ringer, but um, but, yeah, yeah it's. It's got to be one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah.

It is the best video game I have ever played and I've played a lot. I've probably played and I've played a lot. I've probably played more video games than Hot Meals had in my life. I play a lot of games.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I mean and I can see where this it would be deemed like one of the, if not the best, video game that's ever been made. It's it's the cinematics, the everything it's just. This game is just amazing, like the detail that went into it. And again we can you know we'll have to do a whole episode on it, but yeah, it was a hell of an experience, so thank you for that.
