Welcome to another episode of The Days Grimm where Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm sit down for a "Comedy Cache" session with local comedian Antonio and producer Corey. In this workshop-style episode, the group dives into the raw process of joke writing, taking unpolished premises and riffing on them to find the "funny".

The episode kicks off with a heavy dose of reality shoveling nearly a foot of snow in the city. From there, the guys jump into joke development, covering everything from "Home Alone" style booby traps in Boonville to the absurdity of BMW’s heated seat subscriptions. The highlights of the session come when Antonio shares his unique perspective on life's mysteries, including a hilarious breakdown of the "prejudice" found in the childhood classic The Land Before Time.

Whether you are a stand-up comedian looking for insight into the riffing process or just a fan of raw, unfiltered comedy conversation, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how a simple thought becomes a stage-ready bit. We explore the "Kicker" theory for suicidal jumpers, the biological mystery of maggots and mushrooms, and the unexpected intensity of "Albino Penis Envy".

Discover the most bizarre and botched deaths in history from the unkillable homeless man who survived antifreeze to the "Toxic Lady" who hospitalized an entire ER.

In this "February Fatales" edition of The Day’s Grimm, we dive into five extraordinary historical deaths that occurred during the shortest month of the year. You will explore the limits of human resilience, the horror of medieval execution blunders, and the strange chemistry that turned a hospital visit into a biohazard emergency. Whether it's a royal tragedy or a fatal presidential encounter, these stories prove that truth is often darker and stranger than fiction.

We break down the incredible survival (and ultimate end) of "Iron Mike" Malloy, the gruesome details of Mary Queen of Scots' final moments, and the chaotic Hawaiian skirmish that claimed Captain James Cook.

In this episode of The Days Grimm, Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm sit down with long-time friend, entrepreneur, and DIY content creator Kyle Biggs to discuss the realities of building a business and a real estate portfolio from the ground up. Kyle shares his journey from running a trailer rental business to successfully "house hacking" three different properties by living in them and driving "soft value" through smart, budget-friendly renovations.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by home repairs or wondered how to transition from a 9-to-5 into real estate, this episode provides a grounded, no-nonsense perspective. Kyle breaks down his "lazy-proof" philosophy for home maintenance famously featured in his TikTok series and explains why most people are just one YouTube tutorial away from saving thousands of dollars on home projects.

Beyond the hammer and nails, the conversation dives deep into the mindset of an entrepreneur. Kyle candidly discusses his "first failure" with KB Trailer Rentals and the invaluable lessons he learned about scalability, accounting, and trusting your gut when dealing with difficult clients. We also explore the future of content creation, including how Kyle uses AI tools like Gemini to plan his videos and the technical hurdles of moving from phone editing to professional software like DaVinci Resolve.

Whether you're looking for actionable real estate advice or just need a kick in the pants to clean out your air vents, this episode is packed with authentic stories and practical takeaways for the modern blue-collar entrepreneur.

KEY TOPICS COVERED:

• The "House Hacking" Strategy: How to buy, renovate, and rent properties while living in them.
• Driving "Soft Value": Why kitchen and bathroom updates offer the best return on investment.
• Lessons from Business Failure: What shutting down a trailer rental business taught Kyle about scalability.
• The Power of YouTube University: Learning complex trades like plumbing and drywall for free.
• Property Management: When to stop doing the work yourself and hire a pro for passive income.
• Content Creation Workflow: How to film and edit high-performing TikToks in under 30 minutes.
• AI for Entrepreneurs: Using deep research models to plan a 50-video content strategy.

• "Trust your gut and know when to refuse service to anybody you want." (Kyle Biggs)
• "Passive income... that’s really what it’s about. You can go to sleep and still have that money coming in." (Thomas Grimm)
