Okay, so if you love candy, a Canadian company is hiring full-time and part-time candy testers. You could become a candiologist. The candiologists are going to be responsible for giving honest, and objective opinions on more than 3,000 products carried by Ontario-based Candy Funhouse.

Now, candidates are going to help select first-ever Candy Funhouse branded Candy Line, which will feature 10 new original candy creations from hundreds of possible options. 30 bucks an hour. Candidates should have a high school diploma, no food allergies, and must be passionate about confectionery. According to the job listing, applicants who have an interest in candy, pop culture, and media

will be given preference and no past experience is required. You have until February 15th to apply. Good luck. It sounds like a fun job. And I, whether they're paying me or not, okay?

I believe that I am already a candiology. I'm just saying, welcome to chewing the fat. So as I'm reading about the, you know, becoming a candiologist, I see there's a headline in the story about another story. And it says new U.S. dietary guidelines. And I thought, well, there's new U.S. dietary guidelines. And apparently at the end of the year, the end of 2020,

The U.S. government put out new dietary guidelines for infants and toddlers, and it recommended feeding only breast milk for at least six months, and no added sugar for children under the age of two. Okay. Okay. All right. If that's what you think, no problem. The guidelines stick with previous advice.

Limit added sugar to less than 10% of calories per day after the age. age of two, men should limit alcohol to no more than two drinks a day, twice as much as advertised for women. Those women hating dietary guidelines. Wow. The dietary guidelines are issued every five years by the Agricultural Department and the Department of Health and Human Services. The government, of course, uses them to set standards for school lunches and other programs. It says that babies can start eating other food at about six months and should be interesting. introduced to potential allergenic foods along with other foods. Introducing peanut-containing foods in the first year reduces the risk that an infant will develop a food allergy to peanuts.

Okay. All right. There's more advice than in prior guidelines for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Yeah. To promote healthy brain development in their babies, women should eat 8 to 12 ounces of seafood per week. They should be sure to choose fish such as cod, salmon, sardines, and tilapia, with lower levels of mercury, which can harm the children's nervous system. Pregnant women should not drink alcohol, according to the guidelines, and breastfeeding women should be cautious. Caffeine in modest amounts appears safe, and women can discuss that with their doctors.

Thank you. It doesn't say anything about smoking. I guess you can smoke now. And according to this, most Americans fall short of following the best advice on nutrition. Really? Contributing to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Much of the new advice sounds familiar. Load your plate with fruits and vegetables and cut back on sweets, saturated fats, and sodium.

Wow. Do I not need to hear that? I mean, I need to hear it, and that's important. then we should follow, follow that 100%. And you should always eat right and, and substitute, you know, start small, start small with little changes, and it works up to big changes, right? Right.

Carbon capture technology. I know. I know. Our new president, Biden has pledged to accelerate the development of carbon capture technology as part of his sweeping plan to tackle climate change. He named Jennifer Wilcox an expert in carbon removal technologies as the principal deputy assistant secretary, the principal deputy assistant secretary for fossil energy at the U.S. Department of Energy. That's a heck of a name tag. Well, Elon Musk has now

said that he's going to donate $100 million towards a prize for the best carbon capture technology. Now, he said there's going to be more details next week, and then in the story it says, well, he's not responded to for additional information. He said he'd give it to you next week. Details next week. Capturing planet warming emissions is becoming a critical part of many plans to keep climate change in check, but very little progress has been made on the technical. to date, with efforts focused on cutting emissions rather than taking carbon out of the air. I'm sure when we start messing with Mother Nature like that, what could go wrong?

Nothing. The International Energy Agency said late last year that a sharp rise in the deployment of carbon capture technology was needed if countries are to meet net zero emission targets. Yeah, which means we're not going to meet that. get over it. But if Elon is offering $100 million, I may, you know, try to come up with some kind of

carbon capture technology, you know, like a box or a Tupperware. You open it up and close it and then you've captured carbon. Did I get $100 million for that? I think it's a pretty good idea, to be honest with you.

Another thing that is grabbing everyone's attention and could quite possibly make you a lot of money. If you wanted to get into indoor farming, there's a app harvest, which is backed by Martha Stewart, and it's the Moorhead Kentucky-based company.

It has begun shipping beefsteak tomatoes to Kroger, Walmart, Publix, and other grocers. Eventually, App Harvest plans to ship 45 million pounds of tomatoes, tomatoes, each year from its 60s, acre indoor farm in Moorhead. Wow. I mean, App Harbis is one of the many players in the fast-growing field of indoor farming. Others include New York-based Gotham Greens, which has eight urban greenhouses across the U.S. and plenty of vertical farming startup in San Francisco. In a recent global survey, Agri-texture consulting, which works with urban farmers, found that

at least 74 indoor farming companies were founded in 2020 alone. Yeah, they had to stay inside. They were shut down and they were blocked because of the pandemic. You know what we could do? We could start farming inside these buildings. What do you think? And then that started, I love the agriculture consulting. Yeah, you should take this ceiling out and we'll go ahead and put some polls up and we'll wrap the

We'll wrap the tomatoes around there and they'll start growing there. So we'll be, you know, indoor farming right there. Wow. That is amazing. And I know that the industry is getting a boost from the cannabis industry, you think. And I guess they're using LED lighting, which, you know, helps decrease the costs. So, I mean,

it's a good deal, I guess. Indoor farming, and I'm more, I mean, I don't really want to farm, but I like the idea of the agriculture consulting. Because I can just show up and say, yeah, you farmers need to do this, and walk away, take your paycheck and go home. Then if it doesn't work,

man, they did that wrong. Ha, whoa, I wish they, you should, I told you not to do it that way. I said the other way. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, the poles were supposed to go up to the third floor, not the two and that second floor and halfway between the second and third floor. It should have gone all the way up.

Now you would have been creating some vegetables. Amazing, amazing. We live in amazing times. You can quote me on that. We live in amazing times. Welcome to Fat Pile Friday, chewing the fat. And I was one of the things, like these people are creating things that, we talked about getting a job as a candiologist or, you know,

creating a carbon capture, you know, working on the best carbon capture technology. And now we're talking about indoor farming. And we're talking about creating agriculture consulting and urban farming to make some money and create things that are actually, you know, helping humans. And then you have employees, I don't know. like the teenager in Georgia, Trey Brown, 19, who allegedly stole more than $980,000 from a Kroger grocery store in Duluth, Georgia,

over a period of two weeks. I'm telling you, I don't know, I worked at a grocery store for a long, I worked in the grocery business for a long time. And in a two weeks time, you're stealing almost a million bucks? I don't know. But they claim he did it.

They claim he used the money to buy cars, guns, and clothing before he was arrested. So apparently, they believe he created more than 40 returns for non-existent items. I mean, pretty genius what he was doing. Put them on several credit cards. And the returns ranged from $75 to over $1.5 to over. $87,000. That kind of was a red flag because, I mean, how many people are returning goods at the Kroger store for $87,000?

And this was at the fuel center. So he's taking returns at the fuel center for $87,000? Yeah, that didn't work well. So I guess the employee whose responsibility it was to track fraudulent transactions was on vacation for a couple of weeks. And that's when Trey decided, hey, this is my chance. They're gone and I'm going to go ahead and make some money. So again, the fraudulent transactions, the corporate employees, you know, red flagged it and said, ooh, that's got to be a problem.

We need to check into that. see what's going on. Now, he used the money to buy two cars, clothes, guns, new shoes. Now, prior to his arrest, he had totaled one of the cars that he bought. And a large sum of money, they say, was returned to Kroger after the arrest. So it doesn't, they don't, they aren't saying how much was returned. But he was released from jail on 11,200, $200 bond. a lot of that money was on cards, right?

So he, you know, you just returned the cards and it's, you know, made up money. But it's made up money on the books that you could use from the cards, right? I mean, that's a pretty good plan. Trey had a pretty good idea. Now, he probably could have been, he probably could have done that for an extended period of time and made quite a bit of money had he not decided to go. Like the ones for 75 bucks, those aren't raising a red flag. what's raising the red flag are the 87,000,

but he only had two weeks, right? The person who was responsible for, you know, checking the fraudulent returns was on vacation. So he only had two weeks. He had to hop on it. He didn't get as much as he can for two weeks. So for two weeks he had new shoes, new cars, guns, new clothes. He's living large.

And now, Trey is out on bail. I know. I know. Sad way to start, 2021, Trey. Maybe being out on bail, though, maybe Trey has an opportunity to play the lottery. You know, for those of you listening live today

on the 22nd of January, 2021, you got the mega millions drawing tonight for $970 million. So if Trey wins that, I mean, he is, he's living large. Right? In fact, whoever wins, wins 970 million

jackpot is live and large there is no doubt about that plus you know I was looking at the powerball they had the winner the other night for 730 1 million or something we talked about it and

it was sad it was sad and it's really it's sad on my part not theirs but I look at you know hey we had one winner for 730 million and then the next drawing is 20 million and it looks so sad just seeing 20 million dollars and I got news for you. This may come as a surprise but winning 20 million dollars jackpot is still pretty good.

I know I know I know it comes as a surprise but it's still pretty good so you'd still be okay if you want to all by yourself if you had to share 20 million. Holy cow. I don't know how you'd live. But for those that are playing the mega millions, good luck. Man, do I want you to win? Because I care about you.

Yes, I do. I want you to win $970 million. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh my gosh. So good. Wow, Hank Aaron passed away today.

He was 86 years old. I mean, just an incredible man. Barry Bonds wrote the man who famously broke Aaron's, I mean, he was the one who broke Aaron's home run record, said I was lucky enough to spend time with Hank on several occasions during my career and have always had the deepest respect and admiration for all that he did both on and off the field. He's an icon, a legend, and a true hero to so many who will be forever missed. Boy, no kidding.

Hank Aaron, that guy was a huge star. I mean, 25 All-Star teams, MVP. Wow. I mean, broke Babe Ruth's record. just amazing that this guy started out back in the 50s playing minor league baseball in the Negro leagues the Indianapolis clowns and think how far I mean think amazingly how far we've come that is just outstanding and then I was listening to the call you want to see how far we've come this is the call that Vin Scully called when Hank Aaron hit his 700

15th home run. Now, he broke Babe Ruth's home run record in 1973. 1970. This is Vin Scully's call. Just amazing. And pitch is ball and no strikes. Aaron waiting. The outfield deep and straight away.

Fastball is a center field. But there goes back to the fans. Amazing. And I mean, the crowd is crazy. Fans rush onto the field. to pat him on the back. They'd be shot dead today. Fireworks, and obviously they knew he was going to hit it.

At home, in Atlanta, mobbed at the plate. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country in the world. A black man is getting a standing ovation in the Middle South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. A white idol. And particularly for Henry Aaron, who was met at home plate,

not only by every member of the Braves, but by his father and mother. He threw his arms around his father, and as he left the home plate area, his mother came running across the grass, threw her arms around his neck, kissed him for all she was worth. Just amazing.

Right? I mean, the guy was just incredible, and it's such, think how far we've come. You know, I'm so sick of hearing about racial inequities. I mean, here's a guy that started in the Negro leagues and then broke Major League Baseball's Babe Ruth's home run record in 1973. Incredible.

The Tokyo games are on, my friends, okay? Japan just said, that flame will be lit on July 23rd, 2021. They doubled down on its commitment to host the Tokyo Olympics this year and flatly denied reports of a possible cancellation. Ha, yeah. So take that. Look, I know that you've got your little, you know, global pandemic fears, but I know that we're still under a state of emergency due to a third wave of COVID-19 infections.

But they're scheduled to open on July 23rd, and they were postponed from March of last year. So Japan is like, we are lighten the flame, okay? It's really weird on this picture. This picture shows the Olympic rings in front of the... Japan Olympic Museum in Tokyo and there's this kid sitting on the bottom left ring. A child poses for a photograph with the Olympic rings. And this kid is like a monster kid. I mean, he's a sumo wrestler.

He's a young sumo wrestler in training. I don't know why. Is sumo wrestling part of the Tokyo? Tokyo games? Yeah, that's what I thought. They're not. They've never been featured at the Olympics. I don't ever remember seeing sumo wrestling at the Olympics.

However, what is interesting is that the international sumo federation who aims to get it included in the Olympics one day is Tokyo-based. So maybe that is why they show the fat kid at the bottom Olympic ring. He's in training to be a sumo wrestler, and we need sumo wrestling in the Olympics. So that's what it is. Anyway, they claim the flame will be lit on July 23rd, 2021. We shall see.

We shall see. They might light the flame, but the games may still be postponed. And I have a feeling that, wow, I'd like to say that that's not going to be true, because July 23rd, I mean, holy cow, six months from now, and we're still going to be in this pandemic world? Oh, please, pray that that isn't so,

and the Olympic flame gets lit with the games playing. Oh, my gosh, please. Isn't that funny? Isn't that funny? I'm looking at this story here. Came out this week talking about Tiger Woods. bond with girlfriend, Erica Herman, living together, and his kids like her too. And the golfer has finally found happiness with his girlfriend of four years.

Huh. Got this nice story about Tiger's life and how good it is and the kids love the girlfriend and how they've been together and how she used to be a... I am in love with that. It talks about how she used to be... She's a former restaurant manager, but now she's focusing on building a home with Woods. Uh-huh. Me too.

Me too. If I was with Tiger, I would say, honey, I've got to go to work at a restaurant now. No. No. Can't do that. But it does mean that Tiger's, you know, better at a restaurant. Anyway, it's amazing that after the documentary that finished this past Sunday, then the week, that same week after Part 2 airs on HBO,

now we have fluff stories about Tiger. I'm sure. I'm sure it is just a coincidence. So yesterday I talked about President Biden at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, and it talked about he had a Caesar Chavez bust. behind him and I didn't see it the night before so I went back because I and I said I don't think it was there I don't think it was there but it I went back and I watched the signing that they aired in there it is it's there so he replaced the Andrew Jackson portrait which I mean Andrew Jackson

wasn't that great of a guy but you know President Trump liked him but uh Caesar Chavez my guy's a communist so it's always good to have his bust in the Oval office always always good to have a communist, you know, remembered in the Oval Office of the President of the United States. Ugh. Hey, be sure to look out for a podcast that I put together. Sometime this weekend, it'll be out just about the executions, the federal executions that took place the last couple of years during the end of the Trump.

presidency and I just wanted to remind everyone. It's just a short thing about executions. I just wanted to remind everyone what these guys were in for. Okay? All right. Just a reminder. That's all it is. It's just a little reminder podcast of what these guys that are now executed were there for.

They didn't just show up and they decided, you know, we're going to execute you. No, they were not good people. So I had an opportunity to coming up, we're going to talk to Phil Sklar, the co-founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. He's got some new bobbleheads, and we're going to take a look at some of the classics at the museum. But I'm going to post the interview here on the podcast because I love Phil and I love talking about the bobbleheads and it's so much fun. But if you go to my YouTube channel, chewing the fat. Well, Jeff Fisher, I'm going to post that interview there as well. So you'll be able to see some of the bobbleheads.

He gives us a little tour of the bobblehead museum and shows us some bobbleheads. And I also could not remember the name when I was talking to Phil of a movie. Okay. The movie was Hunger Games. I remember Jennifer Lawrence. I couldn't remember the name of the stupid movie Hunger Games. and I couldn't remember mocking Jay, the stupid bird. It was just killing me because we were talking about,

uh, we were talking about Gaga and I could, you know, she had the giant bird and the, you know, the mocking Jay and the hunger guys. I think we even talked about it yesterday and the day before, but I just couldn't remember. I was just completely gone. I don't know what happened.

It was just out of it. I've got it. You know what I have to do is stop drinking before I do these. interviews. Well, when you're listening to it, just know that I thought of it as soon as we were done. And on the YouTube, on the video, I'll put up that it's Hunger Games. And yes, I thought of it. But just so you know, when you're listening to it, okay, for the life of me, I could not

remember Hunger Games and the Mocking Jay. I know. I know. Anyway, here's Phil Slar from the National Bobblehead. Hall of Fame and Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Phil, how are you, sir? Doing great. How are you doing? Good to see you.

Fantastic. I know that you have some new bobbleheads that you want to talk about. And I know, I think one of the last times we talked was when you had Dr. Fauci making the debut. And that did pretty well. Yeah, that was our best-selling Babelhead of all time. by far sort of tripled up the previous bestseller. So yeah, it's one of those unexpected moments or people that turned into a bestselling Babelhood. So one of the times that we talked, we talked about your museum and Hall of Fame in Wisconsin,

and you were downtown, if I remember, right, and up on the second floor of a building in downtown Milwaukee and how's it going? Are you able to have anybody in anymore? Are people coming or are you just kind of still holding on? Yeah, so every time we've sort of planned to reopen, things got worse in terms of the coronavirus pandemic.

So, you know, we were sort of ready to open and then museums and other places like us had to close. So that's sort of been extended. So we've been doing our online bobbleheads, creating lots more new bobbleheads than we might have otherwise created. And we also have the virtual tour online for people to visit from wherever you are in the world. And where do I go to see that? So that's at bobbleheadhall.com backslash virtual tour. And it's 360 degrees.

Modern technology, you can walk around, zoom in. It's a wonderful thing. And if I just go to bobblehead hallmuseum.com, I can find all kinds of things there. So I'm looking behind you with all the bobbleheads that are behind you. You know what I see? I see I need somebody to dust. I mean, I like the bobbleheads and they look great and it's wonderful, but there's got to be someone that's going to be dust in those bad boys that isn't me.

That's one of the main questions we get from visitors is who dust all these bobbleheads. We have a really good air filtration system and sort of the highest line. you can get so that helps a lot but we do have somebody who uh helps with the dust absolutely yeah okay so uh what's the latest what's the latest bobblehead that we're announcing today uh the latest few and i hope you have a couple to show me oh yeah the latest and greatest uh is uh the Bernie Sanders inauguration day babblehead that nice stealing all the the thunder uh here over the past several days. We announced it the day of the inauguration, probably

three or four hours after it went viral and it continues to take off and it's probably going to be our second bestseller of all time by and Dr. Fauci. Well, it's certainly picked up in the meme world. I mean, he's in everybody's living room and family

room and on top of television shows and, I mean, just actors and actresses and regular people on their Instagrams are putting him in their living her with them is really funny. Yeah, it is. I mean, I didn't think it would take off that much. We had an employee who sent us a message working remotely from home on Wednesday morning and

said, hey, did you see Bernie? And we're like, what do you talk? We thought she was talking about Bernie Brewer, the mascot for the brewers. She said, you got to do a bobblehead of this. So we looked into it and said, okay, we didn't really at that time grasp what the big idea behind it all was. And like, okay, you know, we'll look into it. It saw on Twitter that it was already buzzing and turned out. friending things. So we said, hey, let's do it?

So do you have the makeshift one with you, or is it not there yet? It's not here yet. So at the bottom, let's take their hand sculpted out of clay. We do have the rendering. Well, whoever the hand sculptor is, tell him to get on it. Let's go. Yep. So, yeah, they are on it. We'll have pictures on the website pretty soon. But right now, we have a rendering of what it'll look like, and people can pre-order them now. So, all right, so you got Bernie. And I'm sure that did you already have? Biden or is that coming? Nope. So we have Biden

and Harris. We had a Biden and Harris. Both of them sold out right before the election, so we had more coming in shortly, but then we also released on Wednesday a new one of Biden and Harris together with the flag in the background, so a unique dual bobblehead of

unprecedented for the first time of woman, vice president. And then we also have the Biden dogs, Champ and Major, the two German shepherds who are inhabiting the White House. What about the wife? And of course, Dr. Joe Biden.

We have a body for as well. Yeah. So if you tell me they're at the rendering machine and I can't see them right now. You don't have them, do you? Oh, come on. Oh, yeah. I do have a Harris and Biden somewhere behind me over here.

All right. Yeah, absolutely. We need to find them. And while you're looking for it, while you're going there, go ahead. I'll just go ahead and get it. I'll just talk about today we just got the news because I want to talk to you about the possibility of getting a couple of different bobbleheads because you didn't mention one that I want to have as a bobblehead. But Hank Aaron, we just got the news, passed away. Hall of Fame baseball player.

He was 86, played with the Atlanta Braves, broke Babe Ruth's home run record. and I was just watching the clip of when he broke the record. Do you have a Hank Aaron Bumblehead? We have multiple Hank Aaron Bumbleheads, and yeah, we hear this morning as well and obviously very sad. We actually have a Bobblehead representing his time with the Indianapolis Clowns, the Negro League's team, which a lot of people don't remember. Right.

Get some comments that his hands are backwards. He actually batted cross-handed while he's crowns. And it took, you know, it wasn't until he went to O'Clair, Wisconsin. with the O'Clair minor league team that they sort of changed it around. Yeah. Yeah, remember those stories. Okay, here we go. All right, nice. Joe and Kamala here. You know, I noticed that do any of your bobbleheads have masks? So we do have removable masks. I love for that. That we do have, yeah, so they can all have masks. We don't have 6,500 masks for all the bobbleheads on display.

We do have enough, we have about 100 masks here. We've sent some with bobbleheads. But yeah, and Bernie's bobblehead will be wearing a mask, of course, since he was wearing the mask. Right. I mean, that's what I was thinking with the inauguration of Joe and Kamala. I mean, they should probably have a mask. Oh, yeah. Yeah, masks are key.

Okay, so you've got the dogs and you've got Jill. But, I mean, what about a hunter? That is good. I want a hunter bobblehead with the pipe, please. Yep. We'll have to look into that. We don't have that one in the works yet, but anything is possible. You know, there's...

The pipe doesn't have to move or anything. It can just be out the base. Yeah. Yep. Well, we'll add that to the long request list that we get. And we get requests on a daily basis, so it's always fun to look into them. And a lot of them... What is the top request right now?

Do you remember the top request? I mean, what are most people are requesting right now? You know, that's a great question. It's going to hurt my feelings, I think. Yeah, but that's probably the top request that I've seen in the past couple weeks, for sure, is the Hunter Biden. Really? I think you take there. Nice.

You know, some of the people we can't do, we did get, like, are you going to do a Lady Gaga inauguration, but we'd have to get her permission. So that was probably the other one that we saw several people ask for recently. Yeah, especially, I mean, especially since with the National Land. and the, you know, the, more, the, uh, uh, the, uh, uh, the big pin. Oh, yeah, yeah. The morning star pin, I think. Why can't I remember the name of it from, uh, that doesn't matter. Everybody remembers the stupid pen.

Yeah. I can't think of the movie. I can't think of it. I don't, yeah, I'm not. Jennifer Lawrence. Oh, yeah. Yep. I'll put it on the screen.

For those of you watching it on the YouTube channel, right there. That's the movie. I can't think of the stupid movie. So out of how many Bibleheads do you have at the museum in the hall right now? Do you have a pretty good guesstimate? Yeah, so it's right around 6,500 on display at any given time. And then we have about another 4,000 in storage that we rotate in and out. And we get new ones on a daily basis as well.

Wow. So who decides, I mean, is there a rotating shelf? Like the ones behind you, are they there forever? I mean, those are the ones that stay there? So we do have some that are sort of permanent, but we will move around. The ones behind me are sort of a cross-section of the collection, some really random. I can give you a little bit of a view here, but just a really random mix of all types of sports, non-sports. You see Looney Tunes and mascots, hula dancers, Babe Ruth as the Brooklyn Dodgers manager, Bernie Brewer.

Oh, that's right. Go back to your right. who is keep going keep going to your right keep going to your right okay stop and now just drop down a little bit who is the what who is that guy uh the guy with the the suit yeah Edward Kennedy yeah okay so I thought it was yeah that is teddy he looks a little thin there that's why I was a little confused I wasn't sure if that was Teddy or not that is awesome Oh, those good stuff. Oh, yeah. The hula dancer.

Wow. Tremendous. Out of the, if you were to say, when you come in, when you come into the office every day, is there a bobblehead that Phil Sclar looks at every day and taps the head and says, morning. And that's your dad gets your day started. So not tapping the head. So sometimes I'll change up the bobblehead that's on my.

desk or you know a new one I'll come in I'll sit there for a while for the past I think it's been two months it's been my mom my mom's Bobbiard's been on my desk so see she's sort of inspired you're breaking my heart yeah she inspired our essential heroes babelhead series which features 35 different professions she works at a hospital so we created ended up being 120 different bobbleheads with the different skin colors and male female combinations of everybody from workers workers to hospital doctors, you know, all the frontline workers that they came to appreciate over the past year. Do you have, have you developed an area at the museum for that?

Yeah, we do have a special area that when we open, we'll be able to seize. Yeah. Okay, so aside from mom, all right, I got it. You love mom and she's wonderful and ding, ding. Is there one particular other than mom that you look at every day and you, you have, tap that head and you're just like, how you doing? So I'd say it'd probably be that six-foot-tall bobblehead. Although I don't tap its head every day.

We have a sort of a life-size guy over here. I can. Heck yeah. And say hi to him. We have our own virtual tour. Heck, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Look at this place.

Wow, I need to. I need to show up here. Nice. The Hall of Fame Bobel. Tremendous. Nice. That is so nice. that is fantastic.

So, I mean, that's your man right there. Yeah, he's our sort of our He's the mascot. Yeah. Ooh, he's a figurehead. I got that. I was with you. So, fantastic.

So the latest one is Bernie. And President Biden and Vice President President Kamala Harris together. Right? And Joe's wife, Jill. and the dogs, but no hunter yet. No hunter yet. So we're going to go hunting for a hunter.

Maybe you get a hunter and you tell people they got to come up with their own pipe or something so you don't get involved in that. If you want your own pipe, you got to come up with it. Maybe you just put it. Yeah, pipes sold separately. Maybe you put them next to a stripper pole. You know, something like that. It's just a thought for me.

That's all. I'm just trying to be helpful for you, Phil. Yeah. We take all suggestions. That doesn't sound like you're going to use it, though. Okay, so, Phil, if I want to go to the virtual tour, and I really am going to go again and take a look, I have to go to...

Bobbleheadhall.com, and everything's on there. You can find the store and the virtual tour and history of Bibleheads, anything and everything you wanted to know. That's fantastic. And you can pre-order the new ones, and you can also, you know, hello, order the old ones. just fill your life with bobbleheads. Yeah, you can try to catch up to the collection that we have here.

We encourage you to do that. I bet you do. No kidding. That's a serious catch-up, too. Man, what's the average? So the, how? Your bobbleheads. Most expensive one you have.

Like the new ones I know, they're going for, you know, $20 or $30 a pop. I get that. You know, those are fair prices. But are there any that worth them extra cash now. Yeah, so I mean there's several that are in the thousand dollar range. There was actually a New York Yankees, a bobblehead from 1960 that sold for about $90,000 this past year. Here's a picture of it. If anybody has one, we'll take it. If anybody has one,

we'll take it. Really? That's on the time line there. It was about 14 inches tall, and it was a jumbo-sized version of the regular-sized one from 1960, which we have on display there. You should be able to see. Wow. But you don't have it yet. We don't have that one, no, but we have the regular size version. We also have that mini set here, little mascots from 1960. The set recently sold for about $6,000.

We had the Beatles set on the timeline over here. Right. Which is a quite valuable set. Some of the older football Bible heads as well. So the 14-inch use. Yankee Bobblehead is worth almost $100,000? Yes. Do you know of anyone that has it?

So there's only, I think, three or four known to be in existence. One previous to that sold for about $50,000, so they've appreciated quite a bit. And if anybody wants to send it in, we'll gladly put it on display. So if I send you a box that says it's in there, how much money you're going to get, go send me? I mean, I can't promise that it's going to be in there, but I'll send you a box. We'll send you a membership card and a very nice thank you note as well. Phil, thank you so much, man. I really appreciate it.

A lot of fun. And we'll talk again when you get some new stuff out. It's fantastic. Bobblehead Museum and a hall.com. And I really appreciate it, Phil Slar. You're the man. Thank you for taking some time today. Always great talking to you.

All right. Take care, man. Thank you. Thank you.
