Welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. All right. I guess I read my ad so good last week. We're all set. Yeah, that's enough. Hey, Bear. Welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm here with Aaron Weber, Brian Bates, Dusty Slay. We're having some work done in our house, so if you hear some grinding, I guess, you might, yeah, I don't know.

It's going to be happening. I don't think it was planned. I guess we were hoping it wasn't going to happen during the show, but it is. Tough to drown out cutting concrete, too. Yeah, that's hard. You know, that's hard. I know the podcast next door is having trouble too uh good just multiple podcasts in the cul-de-sac yeah there it is uh so hopefully uh

it won't be too annoying for you but yeah uh anyway here we are. I just got back. We got back last night. I was in Selbyville, Delaware. Awesome time. And then Wilmington, North Carolina, which is very cool. Back to the scene of the crime of Cape Fear Serpentarium. We had, I needed, Terry, Dean, the guy that owned that place it's his sister

she emailed me and I emailed her and we were trying to hook up but it did not happen and but it was it was cool

like I think the owners of the new place I guess that was her or something whoever they came to the show and it was cool

it was Wilmington was awesome it was fun to be back into Wilmington and all the people that came out and stuff. The show was unbelievable. So we had a good time. And then I went to Wyndham Championship, the Wyndham Golf Tournament. Got to walk inside the ropes. The kid that won, his name's Tom Kim.

His name's – I don't even know his first name uh because he goes by tom and he goes by tom because he's watched thomas the train really yeah he's korean super young right yeah super young 20 years old second youngest to win it in 90 years wow and uh he he shot he almost shot a 59 yesterday we were like in his group following him wow and uh it was it was it was awesome to get to watch him uh but yeah it goes by tom so tom is the train he's like i like that he goes i'll just have people call me tom i'm sorry because i'm tom kim and it's not and his his name is something else but kim ju young kim june young yeah yeah yeah so it was fun so i did that uh my buddy doug we walked around it was

a good time you know we had a little fun fun adventure i don't know if i had anything trying to think anything crazy but i was home this weekend but i was watching golf and had a seinfeld kramer moment i look and i'm like nate oh did you i had no idea that you were there but you were on tv oh really yeah like i mean very briefly but but you could see you standing oh at the tournament yeah oh that's fun but it was very much like jerry and kramer or george or anything just like is that nate yeah did you why are you watching golf just had it on yeah yeah i'm just sitting there i watched women's golf yesterday that's how that's how

when you're sitting there feeding a baby whatever comes comes on TV, you just keep watching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got to be real peaceful, too, with the baby. You need a real, you know. That's true. Yeah. Golf is nice for that. Yeah. Yeah, you wouldn't watch a UFC fight holding the baby, right? It's a lot.

It feels uncomfortable. It would be, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, to really dive into it and just, yeah. It would be very uncomfortable. I watch Better Call Saul sometimes, late at night. Yeah, yeah. But there can be some violence on there. into it and just yeah it would be very uncomfortable i watch better call saul sometimes late at night yeah yeah but there can be some violence on there yeah yeah there's cartels and well i'm saying i i'm not immune to feeding my baby while watching something that's got some

violence i also felt like that was a boring show though i feel like that you could get some real sleep done with the baby there too you're not a a fan? Maybe I did not get far enough. There's this lady that was just smoking cigarettes all the time. I was like, I don't. I think that describes it. Yeah. I mean, she was always smoking cigarettes. And then the other guy was afraid of electricity.

I was like, I kind of relate to that guy. But I was like. Yeah, that guy. Shortly after that, I was thinking, well, maybe I don't like electricity either. Yeah, it's killing you. It made sense. Yeah, it did make sense. She turned the electricity off. Yeah. And then I'm like, well, you know, I was thinking, well, maybe I don't like electricity either. Yeah, it's killing you. It made sense. Yeah, it did make sense. Just turn the electricity off.

Yeah, and then I'm like, well, I need it. Yeah. But I was relating to that guy. Yeah, that guy is not well. Yeah, I know. That's the whole point of the character. I know. Is that he's insane.

Yeah. I wonder how much of the hassle would keep you from living that way. Just a wife and a daughter. Yeah, that's what I'm calling the hassle. Wouldn keep you from living that way it's the how are you just a lot of people just a wife and a daughter yeah that's what i'm calling the hassle wouldn't like it the wife and daughter that's that's what i refer to as the hassle it's a family uh that won't go down the road with you yeah i think my daughter could get into it she's young enough that we could just start doing it and she might not notice it's all she would know yes but my wife would would appreciate it if i kept the electricity yeah but it would be like if you want to go live like off the grid on it's

it's just a lot it's going to be a you know yeah it's hard yeah it's hard it's because i think that i would like to get into it until i'm out there and then i'm like man this is boring you know because i'm so used to my distractions. Yes. That's true. And you want to look at your phone. You don't want to have to, every time your eyes are open, it's like we got to look for food. Because I can go out and chop wood or something, but that's not going to last so long.

It's tough. Well, I love Better Call Saul, and there's only like two episodes left. And everyone makes fun of me for still having cable, but if you don't have it, how long do you have to wait to see something like that on streaming? I mean, immediately after it airs, you can find it somewhere. Like immediately? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Well, never mind. It's still going? Yeah, there's like two or three episodes left. Oh, I thought this was a show way in the past. I mean, it started a few years ago. And people really love it. Yeah, that's all. I watched a few seasons of it, and it was great. And ago and people really love it like i watched uh i watched

a few seasons of it it was great and then i just kind of see that's how i was too though i'm like i like this but then it just fizzled out so i'm like did i really like it that much uh you could have it's like too much it's are you like i just like i like breaking bad a lot and i've watched it a few times like I go back through it. Did you watch that? I did watch that. I like that a lot. And then so when the new one comes of the same thing, it's like you can do it.

Then you're like, all right, I kind of want a new. It's like Narcos. I love Narcos on Netflix, all that stuff. But I haven't watched the last season because you're just kind of like, all right, I don't know if I can do this again. Another, you know. Yeah, I want to go into a different world. Yeah, yeah.

I feel like it might be the last show, great show, that's on regular, like everything's streaming now. And when you look at the Emmy nominations or whatever, it's all shows on a streaming platform. Better Call Saul is like the last one, maybe on a, and that's on like a cable network. And This Is Us just ended ended and i think that was pretty popular and that was on nbc that's probably the last on broadcast tv that i don't even know if

i know of any a show period yeah on one of the main networks when i'm at my dad's house we watch the tv show mom he likes that one yeah oh yeah Oh, yeah? Yeah. And I'm like, I don't know how this is on TV. It gets wild, that show. Yeah, it's on TV Land now. Ruth watches it. Yeah. It's on TV Land?

It's pretty dirty for TV Land, especially. Or CMT or one. I mean, there's not new episodes. Oh, okay. I didn't know. I think it's over. It's like Andy Griffith

when it's not as real. Yeah. Now, Andy Griffith, that's a good show. That's a good, wholesome show. Yeah. But you think Mom is being filmed every a good show. That's a good show. That's a great show. Yeah. But you think mom is being filmed every day and it's been off the air.

I mean, a show like that, just keep it going, you know? A couple of addicts living in a house with a, yeah, I mean. It's in black and white. Yeah. Did you do anything? I was in Seattle, had kind of a crappy travel day yesterday. I've had a 5 a.m. flight, which always sounds good until you're about to do it. You stay up?

I got back to my hotel at midnight, and I had a 3 a.m. Uber. So I got about an hour and 45 minutes worth of sleep. Almost wish I hadn't have done that. I always convince myself I'm taking a nap. I just go, I'm going to take a little nap. I might not even get undressed. Just kind of lay there and I'm going to just take a little nap.

You're not putting that much pressure on the sleep. That's interesting. You can kind of trick your body into going like, we're just taking a nap. We're not trying to get eight hours. Don't be upset when you wake up. Yeah, the undress nap is the way to go. Because if you get undressed and you get in the covers you're in bed yeah but if you just and then you got to get up and get ready but if you just have kind of

everything on just keep your shoes on yeah and just you really can't i like to wear a hat the full effect doesn't take the glasses off You don't even let yourself see yourself. Yes, exactly. I took a 3 a.m. Uber and then I flew to Nashville connecting flight. Couldn't land in Nashville because of the storms yesterday. So we had to go to Louisville and land

and then we couldn't leave the plane. I'm just sitting there and I'm like, I mean, dude, it was like 14 hours yeah before i was able to land in nashville but now i'm back there you go well that club that you went to is the only club where the owner yelled at me and you said a comic told you that and didn't even uh you didn't even bring it up no so they let you know that was memorable for the comic you're infamous up there yeah for getting yelled at by the owner for no reason really but we had a good time and i went

to west palm beach this weekend you want to say why you got yelled at oh well i mean just yeah well i'll say but yeah i mean he just he stole something go ahead yeah well you know when when i'm doing a show i'm used to like a host, feature, and then me, right? And there was like seven people on the show. And so we're doing a showcase. They're doing every topic that you could possibly do. It's long. So I go to the guy and I go, hey, do you think we could maybe use less people on the show?

And he's like, this is my club. I'll do what. And he's like, he yelled at me in the bar. And then I go sit down. And then he comes in the showroom and yells at me while the show's going on and you had to go up and then i gotta go up and do comedy i'm like hey we're having a good time yeah and you're not yeah i just got yelled at but hey we're having fun we're having fun yeah you're the only one not having a good time yeah but the other i mean i'm happy to know that the other comics saw it and were like i don't know what was yeah but you're west palm beach west palm beach and the last time i was there 2019

i hated it i was like i never want to come here again this time complete 180 i was like now i want to move to west palm i mean it's it was amazing it's fun so fun yeah i got out in the sun i got some i got laid out by the pool. I don't think I got burned, right? But every picture that people took with me, my face is like beet red. I don't know what's happening with the camera and my face, but I got high blood pressure. Did you go to the beach? I just went to the pool.

Yeah. You ever go to the beach? I lived in Charleston for a long time. I lived on Folly Beach. I used to go to the beach all the know, I lived in Charleston for a long time. I lived on Folly Beach. I used to go to the beach all the time, but I'm pretty good on it now. Have you ever been there with long hair to the beach? Oh, yeah. Well, you went recently when you got your finger stuck.

That's true. Oh, yeah, that is true. Out on Dolphin Island, yeah. My nail is still not really healed from that. It's all dented up now. Your finger does look weird. Yeah, it's a bad finger now. But West Palm Beach was great.

I also went to Gainesville, had a lot of fun there. Gainesville was fun. Yeah, it was a good time. All right. All right, let's start with the comments. Camden Harvey, great Scott. I love this. I've been waiting for this episode since

number 28 calendars when Nate, Aaron, and Bala had mentioned doing a time episode as a joke. Since then, I couldn't wait to hear the guys make something so simple seem so complicated, and this delivered the goods. Looking forward to the next episode on kitchen cabinets.

I would like to do a kitchen cabinets episode. Probably a lot of different options. Kitchen cabinets are pretty complicated. My brother-in-law sells kitchen cabinets. He, that's a good idea. I would like to do a kitchen cabinets episode. Probably a lot of different options. Kitchen cabinets are pretty complicated. My brother-in-law sells kitchen cabinets. He works for a company that sells kitchen.

Well, any kind of cabinets, really. It doesn't have to just be for the kitchen. Oh. Bathrooms, any kind you want. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Is there another place?

Well, there's a lot. Yeah. I guess there's cabinets in here. Yeah, there's cabinets in here. You can do podcasts. A lot of doors, a lot of wheels. A lot of doors, a lot of wheels. Brad McClung. I was flying home cabinets in here. You can do podcasts. A lot of doors, a lot of wheels. A lot of doors, a lot of wheels. Brad McClung.

I was flying home from wedding on the day the time changed. Our flight was at 5 a.m., and the airport was an hour and a half away. I was two time zones away from home, and the time changed at 2 a.m. I feel like a relatively smart person, but I could not tell for the life of me what time to set my alarm for or how long it would be until I landed in Nashville. I eventually counted back from my flight time and just set a timer to go off instead of setting an alarm. Having plans in the middle of the time change and across multiple times is very confusing. Yeah, I would just go to the airport now.

That sounds so confusing. I wouldn't know what to do. Yeah, that's a lot. Time zones confuse me so much. My management is in LA, and they'll sometimes send me. They'll be like, oh, this time, Pacific time. And then I'm like, don't even send me those times. Just try to get it to me in central time, because I'll miss the meeting. I don't know what's happening. I can't handle a time zone.

Yeah, we have trouble. My sister's working with us she had abigail's trouble with time zones we got what did we do i'll talk about that well last week we talked about on our phones yeah yeah that's about abigail abigail didn't know she was trying to figure out some time for some meeting and she was she got into gmt somehow and i like, what are you talking? No one even knows what GMT is. And she just, and then she's like sending me these times and it's, I don't even know. Greenwich meantime. I'm like, I'm not going to be there. I was in a different time zone.

The mountains ones are the ones that kind of, the ones that are only like an hour. Yeah. Like Eastern is like, you get it because of TV. Pacific, you kind of get it. Yeah. And then Central because we live at she but she didn't know we lived in central time zone really yeah she goes abigail thought she goes our way now we in eastern time zone i go you've lived here your whole life for 30 something years you don't know what time zone we're in i mean that's that's the main problem that's how you get me that's how you get me. That's how you send me a GMT time. What is GMT? Georgia Mountain Time?

Greenwich. We talked about it last week. It was a long time ago. That's where it started. You learned a lot from Greenwich, England. Someday you'll have a show in England and she'll be on it. And she'll nail it. Yeah. Oh, that's... Oh, okay. Alright. I'm with you. It's

Go Yanks. I would like to stay standard time. In Georgia in summer, it's light at 10 p.m. on daylight savings. Ridiculous. Georgia passed a law and the U.S. Congress gave its blessings to stay on daylight savings. I'm seriously considering moving to a different state. It really messes with circadian rhythms, and I disdain it. No? I'm with you you what's the word circadian circadian i don't even know what those are it's like your sleep cycle oh yeah it really messes with your sleep cycle could say that yep but when the circuit day in circuit circuit or i thought that was an insect get some blackout curtains you know yeah you don't want to

go down that that's uh when you start when you start tricking your body like that it can be a problem yeah i mean you're two steps you're on drugs now like it's you you're just how it starts it's how it starts you just you don't know what time it is you wake up you live your own life and you're just come out of everything you come out you've been you've slept for 40 hours did i have i told you that in in in college you there where it was you wouldn't get sunlight so you'd have to go to these lamps that would simulate their sun lamps all over campus. People would go and just sit in front of them.

Like a tanning mat. Why wouldn't you get light? It's just overcast. The weather's bad. You don't get good sunlight for a good chunk of the year. Is this when you were going to school in London? No, this is in South Bend, Indiana. They don't get that much sun.

They call it the perma-cloud. It's for like nine months, You barely see the sun ever. It's just gray. It's overcast. It's gross. So they have these sun lamps all over campus. People go and sit and just soak up the vitamin D. That's how it starts.

That's how, that's, yeah. That all explains why we are where we are. They're inside those lamps? Yeah. That's like a tanning bed. I like a tanning bed in the wintertime. You just go relax in there, just kick back. They're not trying to get a tan from these things.

What's that? You don't want electricity in your house, but you like a good tanning bed. I know. I mean, yeah. I mean, there's lots of contradictions going on here. I admit it. But I love the sun. I'm all about it.

This 10 p.m. thing, I wish that was happening here. I do, too. I like the sun. I love the sun, too. It does a great job club greg tom is created by man everything in our existence is on a timeline life to death there is no conceivable example for eternity i mean i don't even know what that means well found dusty's burner account. Sending comments to himself.

I mean, I think it's like heaven is eternity. I'll speak for myself. I can't comprehend eternity. I can comprehend a really, really, really long time, but that's still thinking like there's an end. Something that never ends, I can't wrap my brain around. How do people say you can't comprehend it, and then there's a word for it, though?

I mean, you don't fully understand how long eternity is. It's forever, and you just don't know what's going to go on. We don't know what forever means. You understand what it means definitionally, but you can't wrap your head around what that really is like. Yeah. Is definitionally a word? I don't know. I don't think so. That was a risk. That was a risk. It sounded like. I think it is a word.

Well, I agree with this guy up until this last sentence. I mean, I'm tracking with him. And then we get to the last sentence and I'm like, well, I don't know. There's no conceivable example. I think time is all made up. We could just be out here living, but now we got this thing keeping track of everything we're doing throughout the day. We should just be getting up, growing some food, eating, just hanging out, having a good time. Yeah, no meetings. Yeah, instead we got to get up. We got to go to work.

We got to pay taxes. You know what I mean? We're just out here on the grind. You want to go back to a previous civilization. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, of course, until I'm there,

and then I'm like, ah, I don't know. Maybe I did like a conventional oven. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you liked, you know, when you're going to go hang out with some buddies and they don't show up till dark. Right. And you're like, I thought, you know, you didn't say which dark i thought you meant the

dark in the morning high noon yeah a lot of high noon stuff yeah yeah there's no way you're meeting by the high noon it's got to be you're like yo dude it's 1 30 you know is it you'd like to go back to a sundial i bet yeah i mean i don't know much about the sundial, but yeah, I mean, I like the idea of where we're tracking things in a less calculated way. Ease it up a little bit. Yeah, we're just free out here. That's what I'm talking about. Yep. Wearing a lot of animal skins.

Well, yeah, you want to go live off the grid. Yeah. Okay. But with other people living off the grid, I don't want to be the one off the grid guy in the neighborhood of on the grid yeah okay but with other people living off the grid i don't want to be the one off the grid guy just you hood of on the grid people okay i want us to all be doing it yeah yeah that's maybe i'd imagine the first steps of a cult is that like yeah yeah well that's where you go yeah but wouldn't that be the new grid when we didn't just be all on that grid would you then create a time for your group that you've talked to a good time yeah like they

go well what time are we going to meet for dinner and you go i know i said i'm not for time but you know i'll ring a bell i'll ring a bell to let you know it's time yeah and so the time is based off you but then we're not allowed to use that word oh you'd call it something something that we come up with something else you know just so there's no confusion your whole phrase is we're having a good time yeah but not not if we were all off the grid all right we're having fun yeah we're having fun yeah yeah exactly always uh doc holiday in regards to time travel did some research and wrote an article on a missouri dude who claimed to have invented a time machine in 1995 and two years later he disappeared it's pretty crazy and then I read this article he uh there's a picture from 1930 on a beach where a guy died on the beach and it looks like this guy

so maybe he figured it out went back to the past and somebody died in the past yeah wow they have a picture of it um i don't know what you're gonna find it what are you in there i'm scrolling down the article that you sent me all that's about that article yeah okay this is the article referenced in the comment wow so we've known nothing besides the title of this article well i clicked on it and read it. I mean, there's... So basically, this guy created a time machine in 1995. He claimed he did.

In 1997, he disappeared. Some people think he did it as a prank. Some people think he wanted to get off the grid. And some people think it worked. And he couldn't get back. And then later on, this photo pops up from 1930 of a dead person on the beach. It looks a lot like this guy. And he's the dead guy.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think he couldn't get back, and he was outcasted. Because he's like, I'm from 1995, and they're like, this guy's a lunatic. Yeah. That's all the witches that were killed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Well, here's the blueprints of this guy's time machine. It doesn't look super official. It looks like something. Horseshoe magnet. Well, you got to have one of those. It's just a very elementary-looking sketch, and then just some arrows pointing at stuff. We got some quartz, granite, positive.

I mean, just a bunch of words. Copyright Mike. That's his copyright at the bottom. Just his name. Copyright Mike on the bottom left. Not even the copyright little icon with a C. He also wrote not to scale. Even the copyright little icon with a C.

He also wrote not to scale. Yeah, maybe the guy's good at building time machines, but not graphs or whatever. Not blueprints. He's a bad blueprint guy. He's got just wood labeled. I hope this guy's okay. I think he's dead.

Kevin Green. When Aaron asked, do you ever repeat when shampooing? And Nate said, I don't repeat it, but I sometimes wash my hair a couple times. And everyone just kept on going. May have been the funniest moment on Aaron Land yet. Wow. Aaron Land. That was a good episode.

Doing some jokes. Over in Aaron land. L.O. Nate thinks the phrase is dime's worth, and it means 10 cents worth of whatever substance we're talking about. He then goes on to say, I'm putting a full five bucks worth. It's dime size Nate, meaning about the size of a dime. Gosh, I love this podcast.

Fan for life. I'm putting a full five bucks Gosh, I love this podcast. Fan for life. I'm putting a full five bucks worth. I don't really. Do you remember talking about shampoo and you said. Oh, you're supposed to put a dime? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you knew what it meant or you really thought you just like measuring how much that would be worth and like 10 cents worth.

Oh. So when they say a dime's worth, they mean physically the size of a dime. Yeah, I think that's what I think. Okay. Yeah, five bucks worth is a lot of dimes. But then you said five bucks worth, and they thought you meant, oh, when you said dime's worth, like 10 cents worth of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's funny. Which would be funny. It would be funny. It would be like a comedy podcast to do something like that. I know, I know yeah that's the idea uh coley coley escher coley escher dusty did a fantastic job at the palm palm beach improv

this weekend but i was at the show where audience members kept interrupting with yee yee oh i forgot all about yee yee. Yeah. Oh, man, what a wild show. It's been a while since you guys shared any tidbits about how the sausage is made. So could you share some experiences with outbursts from the audience and how you choose to handle them? Dusty, you incorporated it really well,

but I felt bad for the flow of your jokes because it kept happening before your punchline. Well, I mean, i do so many shows that that was a blast to me i was like i've not i mean like i wanted to do yee yee i can't even do it well yee yee i'm hoarse i feel like but i used to i mean that show was so fun like somebody yelled out yee yee i had never really heard yee yee before and i just it felt like every punchline i could work a yee yee in there yeah and the audience loved it i like every punchline, I could work a yee-yee in there. Yeah. And the audience loved it. I mean, a couple of times I got interrupted

by people yelling it out, but I had a blast. So you did it most of the time. Well, after the initial, and then a couple of people, I mean, there was one time when I was doing a joke and someone interrupted the joke by doing it, but it worked. I even complimented them on it. I was like, that was a well-timed yee

i mean it was so fun it was one of the most fun shows i've had in a long time i mean so you encouraged more of this i mean i don't want it to happen all the shows but yeah that particular show i was like let's keep this going i'm into this yeah yeah what did someone just yelled yee and that's how i got started i said um you know, I got some jokes about country music. And I was like, I'm a big fan of country music. And so people clapped and cheered. And then somebody goes, yee-yee. And I guess that's a country thing that people do.

I had not heard it. I'm familiar with yee-haw. Yeah. But not a lot of yee-yees. I've never heard yee-yee. And so that's what I talked about, how I didn't really, I wasn't really familiar with yee-yees. I've never heard yee-yee. And so that's what I talked about, how I didn't really, I wasn't really familiar with yee-yee. So, and then I just kept bringing it back.

And I mean, it was a hit. All right. I mean, Colby Escher enjoyed the show. Yeah. Felt bad for me, but don't feel bad for me. We had a great time. Yeah. We had a great time.

Yeah. We had a great time. You got a new merch, yee-yee. Yee-yee. Yee-yee guy. Yeah. Trent McNeely. There are a new merch. Yee. Yee. Yee guy. Yeah. Trent McNeely. There are a million of these Eminem stories out there because everyone thought there was

only one bag that had only one color. They actually distributed a ton of bags with one color only, but it had to be accompanied by a winning notice printed inside the wrapper. Think about it. You could just buy a bunch of bags and take out all the one color and claim you found it otherwise. Very true. That is true. Very true. Didn't think about that. Oh, Aaron doesn't agree.

No, I don't even believe that these contests are real. Oh, you don't think anyone? No, I remember reading about the Tootsie Roll Pop wrapper. If there's a star on it, then you win something. And then that was all fake.

I just think these are all, these are all urban legends. Yeah, get you to buy the candy. Mm-hmm. Oh, Eminem starts it. I think they're all doing it. They start these rumors. They go to playgrounds

and they go, hey kids, if it's all green and then they go home and tell their parents. Get yourself a golden ticket. There's no, exactly, exactly.

But there's no gold. Like Michael Scott? I was thinking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But I don't. So if you see. I don't know. I don't know the office. That's what you mean, right?

Yeah. I don't know it that way. I watched it. And I enjoyed it. So if you've seen Adults Near Playground, expect them that they're starting like a candy. Right. They work for the candy industry. That's why candy is always affiliated with don't go get candy from a stranger.

Exactly. Because they're starting a fake. They're really just serving potential customers. Yeah. Back in my day. That's worst case scenario. Worst case scenario. Worst case.

Either. If they're not doing that, then take their candy. Back in my day, we had real Coke bottles, and you had to have like a... You grew up with glass Coke bottles? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, I can remember them. Old aluminum freezers with the Coke bottle attached to it, the opener attached to it.

Yeah, you need a bottle opener. And underneath the tin thing, they had a contest, Coke is the real thing. And you had to have all four. real was the tough word to find okay so i think if you got all four you won like a thousand bucks or something like that but there were people that would i never found it but that was a big thing it was like one of the first contests like that and it was real you know people that got i saw i don't personally i saw people in the newspaper who won. So they were probably planted, I'm sure. They're in cahoots with the-

They don't exist. Did you read the newspaper at a young age? I did. I love how conspiracy-oriented you are now, Aaron. I mean, this is like, I'm talking about when you were a child. You're like, well, in the paper, we've read it when I read it. It wasn't a lot to do. Yeah.

The Lebanon Times. Lebanon Democrat. You'd go out and get it with your coffee your old brad i was excited yeah i uh uh now the problem with the contest they've gotten to the it's like they have them but it's like you're scanning phones or they want your email it's it's enough that you're like, I'm not doing it. You want it to be as simple as that. Yeah. And then I'll play your game. Yeah.

I won $20 off a Coke bottle cap one time and a guy paid me $19 for it. Because I was like, I don't want to go through the trouble of ordering the whatever this is. So I'll lose the dollar. And he got the dollar? Yeah, he wanted to do the process. Yeah, I think I would have come in at $15 or something. Yeah, he gave me $19. I was like, okay.

Yeah. That's like someone won that billion dollars, the lottery. And I saw, I read that it's like they get $400 million after taxes. After taking the lump sum and then taxes on top of that. That's insane. They get less than half of it. Every time someone wins the lottery,

the government wins the lottery. Yeah. That's a good... Probably a third because I think it was $1.2 billion, right? Yeah. I mean, that's a good business to be in. It is a good business.

A guaranteed lottery winner every time. I want some of that. You know what I mean? Yeah. It is crazy. That's like you would – I mean, you're – and it's like I won $400 million. You're like – you obviously got to be happy with that because it's crazy, but you're just like – you're like – I mean.

It's crazy to see that number just drop i want 1.2 billion dollars and you get 400 million 433 million dollars is what you get a walk away with that's insane it's wild yeah and everybody's both in everybody and the hassle and it's not complaining about it you still want it but then the hassle everybody and it's not complaining about it, you still want it, but then the hassle, everybody thinks you're a billionaire. Why is the lump sum so much less than the payouts? Because of the, well, they don't necessarily have all of that money, first of all. Why? Because it's just, they don't have it like liquid where they can just give it to you all at once.

But they can pay out that amount over a certain number of years. But it's always beneficial to take the lump sum, even if it's smaller because of the present value of money. Because you can invest it. Yeah. In theory, you can invest, even though the amount is much smaller, you can invest that and you'll have way more than you would by the time those payments got done.

Yeah. Plus if you take the payments, then the company's like, listen, we're bankrupt, okay? We can't make the payments anymore. That's a big amount. It's the government, though. Difference. I mean. What's more stable than the government?

I didn't know it was the government. I thought it was – I saw the same thing. I just thought – I picture some gas station going out of business, and you're like, are you kidding me? And then they can't write you $10 million every month, and you're like, are you kidding me? And then they can't write you $10 million every month and you're like, gosh. The government can't pay you

the $1.2 billion or whatever? I mean, they might have that money somewhere, but it's going to be tough to scrounge together $1.3 billion in cash. Well, they shouldn't do the contest then. Yeah, I agree. No one should get it. They should do it. well yeah because it's like i mean you get that 400 million i mean it's insane but that's that's what's crazy you have to live you have to get you need it to

get to 1.2 billion to even get to 430 million dollars like you got to get it way up just to get. Imagine getting $400 million and still feeling cheap. Yeah. You know, it's like, that's how I would feel. I'd be like, yeah, sure. I'm a millionaire now. But maybe the government never anticipated it would keep going up that high and then like, oh, crap.

Can I just write you a check? Yeah. That's what it is. That's the highest it's ever like, oh, crap, can I just write you a check? Yeah, that's what it is. That's the highest it's ever been, right? Don't cash it until next week. Yeah. We've got to move some stuff around. Yeah. That person still has the pre-tax amount.

I mean, they got that amount. It's just if they're smart, they're going to set aside the difference. Yeah. So they actually have more than that $400 million. Yeah, but then your life can be ruined if you if if you don't if you don't go pay it it's like yeah you're done you're done and it's over and you're yeah uh you know what say tear up the thing yeah one knows you're like not even worth i mean there was a show uh about how the lot a lot of people would win the lottery and then it would ruin their lives yeah i mean like lots of people have their lives

ruined after winning i'd imagine if you went 430 million you could you'd be all right i mean even if you're like i always think if you got 430 million you're like someone's like here's 100 million but i never questioned where this goes you can't trust anybody anymore all of a sudden and and people get into you know they become alcoholics and addicts yeah yeah what's hard is yeah yeah that and then the uh because you got you almost need you got to get like a financial guy but you gotta get one that you trust one that knows how to handle that kind of money because you probably go to your local guy, and then you're just like, you got more money than your local bank has.

Yeah, your brother-in-law pops up who's good with money. Right. That's why you can't tell anybody. A lot of family pop up. You tell your spouse, and that's it. That's what you have to do. That's hard. I know. It probably is very hard.

There was a guy in Michigan, I think. He was a retired math teacher. He figured out how to beat the lottery. It was like one of these new games that not like – I mean, there's so many different little games out there. This is one of the small ones. And he figured out somehow an equation to win. And then he started telling other people, and all these people started doing it.

And finally, the government, I think, figured it out and put a stop to it. But everybody was winning. I think there's a movie coming out with Bryan Cranston about it. I saw this on 60 Minutes when I was reading my paper. Yeah. So some of my facts may be wrong. Rocking chair, Eleanor. Why would you tell people?

If you want to help people, win the money, just give them some. Yeah, but then you've got to tell them because then they have the money. Yeah. If you just pop over, here's a million dollars cash. Did you win that lottery? No. No. I've always had this money.

I've always had it. Rich uncle died. Yeah. Left me a lot. How much did he always had it. Rich uncle died. Yeah. Left me a lot. How much did he give you? $433 million. Isn't that the amount that it was? Oh, was it?

I don't know. I'd love to meet that guy so I could talk to a person as wealthy as me. Maybe we could share ideas. Yeah, you got to grab who you want to grab, tell them, and then go build a fence around you. Yeah. Get off the grid quick. Get off the grid quick.

Yeah. Yeah. Scott Donnelly. Quick note about yay or nay and ay or nay. I'm pretty sure when the votes are tallied or they vote by walking up and putting their vote in, it's yay or nay. If it's a vocal vote, they have their name called and shout out ay or nay. Ay or nay. Ay.

Ay. The ay is ay. Dadgummit. Ay or nay. Yeah. I looked this up. That's true. God, how stupid you feel.

This is why I would be so a neighbor. Let's see. Hey. Because you'd be first because your name. Yeah. I would be right at it. We're good to go.

Hey. Yeah. Hey. Yeah. You'd be high-fiving. Boom. Hey. We got four eyes,

a hundred nays and one hey-ya. And they don't know what to do. I looked this up. The Senate does it all the same, but the House of Representatives does it like he said. If it's a vocal, it's aye or nay. All right. All right.

So now we know. Now we know. Dusty Crane. Dustin Crane. U.S. Marshals update. Kentucky is swampier than you might think. There's a 450-acre swampland in Kentucky along the Ohio River, which is where the plane crashes in the movie.

Axe Lake Swamp State Nature Preserve. It's part of a project to protect 3, acres of swampland in kentucky so there is a swamp i well i would imagine you should point that out maybe more maybe they did not appreciate that's a mouthful of a name though right excellent swamp state nature preserve i feel like you owe hollywood an apology. I mean, it's – I would like more – be like, I know what you're thinking. Maybe they did say that. I would imagine I would have a line in there going, how does Kentucky have swamps? Just one guy.

Swamps in Kentucky? Just one part of area, and they randomly hit it for this movie, and then you'd move on. I would want you to do that. I mean, that was a good line. If you were reading for that role, I would hire you. Thanks, man.

Yeah. Scott Reed, filming of the swamp scene in U.S. Marshals took place in Obeyan County by the shallow Reelfoot Lake

in Northwest Tennessee. So it was in Tennessee. The two states you said had no swamps. We have swamps. Well, I want you said had no swamps we have swamps well i want to go to our swamps or buy in county um yeah real foot lake is pretty great it was that doesn't seem like a swamp though that just seems like a lake well i think it's pretty big and there's some swamp areas yeah what's the swamp area like a tree grows in a lake yeah i guess

that yeah i don't know what the technical definition of a swamp is. Yeah, I don't know. But it's just. It just kind of feels. You just feel it out. I feel like, why is that tree way out there? Yeah. I always thought a swamp would be like a lot of trees,

and then there's almost like a moss layer over the water. Dirty water. Yeah. I mean, if alligator's not there, I don't. You don't consider it a real swamp? No. Yeah. You need some alligator. Yeah. This is maybe a little bit marshy, I don't. You don't consider it a real swamp? No. Yeah. You need some alligator.

Yeah, this is maybe a little bit marshy, but this is a swamp. Give me some alligator, some piranhas. I don't know if they're in swamps. You can go walk. I want piranhas in there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that just gives it the real danger feel that you're looking for. You know what I mean?

Man, the positive. That's great. He's good. He's good. He's good. He's the best. Yeah. So. They're still working out there.

And what, so this week, what are we talking about? We're talking about collectibles and memorabilia. And the reason this week, last Thursday, the Hannes Wagner baseball card was sold at auction. The most expensive card ever sold. Sold for $7.25 million. Whoa, what's this card? Maybe I got that card at home.

Hannes Wagner. I seriously doubt it. Yeah, but maybe a fake one. Yeah. Everybody has this card at home, but no one has this car at home. The real one. The real one. So the reason this car-

They made a bunch of extra. This is like the ultimate car. The reason it's so valuable is because there was only like 200 ever made. It was made by the American Tobacco Company. And then Hannes Wagner said, I don't want to encourage children to buy cigarettes because of my image. So they stopped production. So there's only about 200 made.

Now they think there's maybe 50 left in circulation. So if you have one that's in good condition, it's going to go for a few million dollars. It's not the only one that's done that, but this is the most expensive one yet. Even in very bad condition. It would be a ton of money. Is he more famous from the card

than baseball? I think so. These days, yeah. And he was a great player. He was? Yeah. Like he was like an all-star. He was a Hall of Famer. Hall of Famer. Yeah. Okay. I think he was one of the first, when they started the Hall of Fame, they had an initial batch of like the best players ever. He was one of them. Ty Cobb.

Babe Ruth. Yeah. Ty Cobb's a great name. It is. It's a really good name. Better than Honus? They're all good names. Babe Ruth's a good name. What was Babe Ruth's real name? Herman.

George Herman Rhea. Yeah, yeah. Babe Ruth. Oh, I had no idea. You thought his name was Baby? Just Babe. Okay. Honus Wagner.

I like Ty Cobb more than Honus Wagner. Cobb Salad's named after him. Oh, really? I think. There's an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where they talk about that, I think. Hmm. I'm sure. But I'm going to keep saying it.

Yeah. Honus is fun, though. You don't hear a lot of Honuses out there. No, not anymore. Yeah. I never heard the name. If you say Honus, all you think about is Wagner. Yeah, he's the Yeah. I never heard the name. If you say Honus, all you think about is Wagner. Yeah, he's the only one.

He's the only one. The Flying Dutchman. That was his nickname. Oh, okay. So this T206 Honus Wagner sold for $7 million, you said? Yeah, there was one that sold last year for $6.6 million, and it had a great... Inflation. Well, it had a grade 3 on this grading

scale. This one that sold last week had a grade two so it was in worse condition but it just keeps going up every time they sell they go up in value so if you can afford to buy one and hold on to it for a few years you're probably going to make some money wow it's like almost guaranteed to make money the baseball card market 2020 went insane because so many of these people 2020 got nothing going on i'm gonna get back into these hobbies what happened in 2020 your special came out yeah uh no did but are they is it the old or new cards mostly old there are some new ones that are now valuable. I was in the golden age of bad baseball cards when it was oversaturated, the 80s, where there was just so many sold.

What about a 90s model Donruss? What do you think that's going for these days? What? Donruss. You remember those guys? Oh, Donruss? Yeah. What year?

I thought you said a guy's name, like Donruss. No, I thought it was Donruss. Yeah, what is... I used to have a whole collection of Don Russ cards. I don't know. I don't even know what's really happening right now. You're saying it like it's a player named Don Russ. Oh, no, it's...

It's D-O-N-R-U-S-S is a brand. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, a brand of card. I had a whole bunch of them. A bunch of Don Russes. There's Topps... It does seem...

I guess Don and then Russ. It does... Probably flows together better than what I'm saying. Don Russ. Topps is the main one that most people think about. There was Don Russ or then Russ. It probably flows together better than what I'm saying. Don Russ. Tops is the main one that most people think about. There was Don Russ or Don Russ and Fleer. I know Top and Fleer. I've never heard of Don Russ.

Yeah, I had some Fleer. You didn't want to go with the main one, right? I had no idea. You're off the grid. Don Russ doesn't have licensing agreements with baseball anymore. So when you buy a Donruss card now, they're not going to have the actual team name on there. The players will be positioned in such a way where you can't see the logo on

their jersey because they don't have licensing rights. And Topps actually just lost licensing rights. Wow. So Fleer's racking up then. Fleer has not been a thing for quite some time. All right. So no one has license right it's fanatics yeah i think fanatics bought tops and and uh so in the next year or so it's going to

be completely different than it is now so tops does have license rights at the moment but they've lost it for the next for the next year. But then those people bought that company. Yeah, I think it's more complicated than I'm saying it. Okay. Okay. I'm hearing what you're laying down. I smell what you're stepping in. I smell it.

All right, so this is the most valuable car. But later this month, there's an auction for a 1952 Mickey Mantle, which is also incredibly rare. Another great name. for a 1952 Mickey Mantle, which is also incredibly rare. Another great name. Yeah. Yeah. Mickey Mantle. And they think this one could go for $10 million.

Wow. It's also very rare. A guy, the owner is a 75-year-old New Jersey waste management entrepreneur, so the mafia. And he's had the card for over 30 years. And he bought it in 1991 for $50,000. And they think it could sell for $10 million later this month. So you've got to hold on to it for 30 years. Well, in this case, it doesn't really.

And I was joking about him being the mafia. New Jersey waste man. I think people took it serious. Yeah. I mean, I got. I didn't want him to be a folk and like. Yeah. I had some words with my trash company and I was afraid for a little while.

When? Well, not long ago. Yeah. They just were not coming on time. You know. I think that was all in Nashville. Yeah. So I'm like, I was worried for a minute.

Like a day. Like you told me the time, like is the day or like the. Yeah. Like the day. Like they would skip a week. And I'm like why and they're like well we'll give you a refund on that week and i'm like well that's you know 15 i really just need you to come pick up the trash i don't need you to just skip the week and be like we'll give you the money they say they they were like what there's nothing we can do oh you pay for trash pickup? Yeah. I thought that was just a Metro service.

Metro National Service. Hmm. I don't think so. Yeah, I pay for trash, too. Yeah. Oh. I don't know. Have you been slipping through the cracks?

Yeah. I guess my wife pays it, but... Yeah, I think that's what's happening. There was weeks where... I thought that was like Metro Public Waste or something, that they... It was part of our taxes. I thought our taxes paid for a lot. or something that they was part of our taxes. I thought our taxes paid for a lot. Y'all pay for electricity, dude?

Y'all getting scammed out here. Yeah. So what's crazy, you got to pay taxes and then they also charge you. It is true. Why would the taxes not for that? I guess they're earmarked for other things.

It should all just be lumped into one. I pay taxes, then I get all the stuff for free yeah like an hoa like an hoa i don't know my hoa doesn't i don't know what they're doing either i don't know what kind of services they're bringing us i mean they just drive around the neighborhood going uh when you went out and talked to them did you what'd you do you waited you had to watch the hoaA? No, the trash. Oh, I called him.

Oh. I don't confront the guys on the street. Oh, that's what I was hoping. No, no. There's a guy that pulls up and he has a mullet. He has a really long mullet, kind of shaved sides. He's older. Always has a black and mild, but he's not smoking.

Oh, wow. And I'm like, I'm not confronting that guy. You respect him too much. No, well. Seems like a guy you'd love. Well, I mean, no. That's what I'm saying, wow. And I'm like, I'm not confronting that guy. You respect him too much. No, well. Seems like a guy you'd love. Well, I mean, no, that's what I'm saying, though. I'm not going to get into it with that guy. I do love him, but if I go confronting him, that love will go away quick.

Right. I'll be into a fight out there in the street. Yeah. And I feel like he would win. And if you and him got in a fight, would it be hard to tell who's the trash man? Yeah. If someone comes breaking up. They come breaking up.

Get back in the truck. They shove you in the truck. You back in the house. And that guy lives there now? Yeah. They can't tell. He goes, I don't know. I'm just guessing.

Yeah, I mean, that is true. I mean, even the other trash guys might even be confused. I think, didn't trash men used to be ripped because they had to pick up those trash cans with their hands. I imagine they used to be like, look like Vikings, you know? Yeah. And now it's all machine, you know? Well, now they get out because you don't, you got to, you got to put it like,

you know, like ours is a cul-de-sac. So you always like, it's like, I try to put it in the best way. I'll watch them just to see, did I get it where it's easy for them to put it like ours is a cul-de-sac. So you always like it's like I try to put it in the best way. I'll watch them just to see did I get it where it's easy for them to get. But it's a lot of being, being, backing up and trying to grab it. You don't really need to be out of the vehicle anymore, right? I mean, cul-de-sacs, they get to be out of the vehicle, I think, now enough that it's super annoying. Like if it doesn't, if you can't get it, you're like.

Yeah, there's one trash service that comes to our neighborhood that we'll pick up with the claw and dump it. And then there's another one where they have to get off the back of the truck and then pull the trash can around to the back, and then it'll give it a lift in there. The two guys chilling on the back, just hanging out. Yeah, that's how I remember it. Still the classic hanging on the back.

That's fun. Yeah, I like that. Like a caboose on a back. That's fun. Yeah. I like that. Like a caboose on a train. You remember those? There used to be a guy out there waving. Gone now. They don't even do cabooses. No cabooses.

No, just the end of the train. Wait for that whole thing, and you don't even get a reward. Why would they have a caboose? Yeah, I remember waiting. I think I remember cabooses going away because I remember seeing them, and you'd wait for them, and then you'd start waiting. You're like, let's see one that time. Yeah.

Because there used to be a guy on the back waving at you. Wouldn't just the last one be the caboose? Yeah, but it's like a freight train. It was red. You want it to be. I think there's still caboose. They have to let you know when it's over. Well, that's what I thought too, but now it just ends.

I haven't seen a caboose in a while. You're like, I don't know if it's over or not. Yeah. This might be a dumb question. I thought the caboose was just what you called the last card on the train. I picture it being red. Yeah. So it's a whole different thing.

It's a whole different thing. Kind of like a little porch on the back of it. You know what I mean? Like where a guy could stand. Yeah. Look up, are there still cabooses? I think there still to be cabooses. I think you don't have to have a caboose now, but I think, you know. Let's go to worldwiderails.com.

They are no longer used on mainline trains. In the early 80s, it was replaced on mainline trains. Well, in Alabama, we still had them up until the early 90s. Move a little slower down there. Yeah, we were still hanging on. I think trains in general seem to such a throwback. Like, where are they going? They all look like they're on their last leg.

I think trains are getting more popular. Really? Well, you got to think you're going to use it if they're having're having trains now they want to use public transportation and all that stuff it's gonna be like in that aspect i use oh i didn't mean passenger train i meant like hauling like stuff that's how they get everything everywhere i just feel like nowadays you got ups amazon yeah but you gotta fly big you what are you talking about for you or for like companies i guess i don't know what is on a train, but when I see one go by, I'm like, what are they hauling?

You've got to haul so much stuff. You can haul so much more stuff than on a plane. Yeah, like a lot of rocks and coal. That's like trucks are going crazy because there's so much stuff that has to be on it. I would like an Amazon train car where a guy's just out there throwing gifts out. Like the Amazon Santa Claus thing. I just think it'd be fun. car where a guy's just out there throwing gifts out you know like the mardi gras santa claus

i just think it'd be fun i mean someone from the 1800s came to our time and they're like back in our day we had trains and we're like well yeah we still have those i mean they're essentially the same they haven't changed a lot i guess the caboose caboose is gone i took seattle i was just there and i i took there they just got new public transportation they got a light rail train running through the city it was awesome i got everywhere in like 10 minutes for two bucks there and i i took there they just got new public transportation they got a light rail train running through the city it was awesome i got everywhere in like 10 minutes for two bucks well i had to ride with the guy that yelled at me they didn't have train back then when i went he picked you up yeah he took you back to the airport too i don't remember who took me back uh was there a bunch of

people in the car and you're like could we not have so many people in here? Yeah, yeah. Well, to be honest with you, I would have liked some of those people to be in the car and have a little different conversation going on. Yeah. Well, there's three grading companies that grade these baseball cards, and they do it on a scale from 1 to 10.

They look at basically four things. Centering, meaning if it's centered properly, like when they cut it up, corners, edges, and surface. And then they grade it on a scale from one to 10. You got some? Yeah, I've got some PSAs. I got some Beckett's there. The Beckett will actually-

I remember Beckett. Beckett will actually break down how it's scored in each of those individual categories. Yeah, corners nine, surface nine and a half, centering nine, edges nine. I got one from your era here. Brian, here's a 1969 tops. Jeff Samarja.

Jeff Samarja. Samarja. Oh, played at Notre Dame. He was a wide receiver at Notre Dame, but he played professional baseball. For the Cubs and then the Giants. And still playing? No, he retired. I have Dikembe Mutombo, who's now doing commercials

where he's slapping groceries out of people's hands and stuff. It's his rookie card. So if it's centered, though, that's like on the company, right? It's on the company. Some of it's not your fault. A lot of it's just the luck of the draw. Because when they cut them from the big sheet, sometimes you'll just get – like, look at this one.

This is Dick Bossman. That's a good name. That's from the Washington Center. That's a great name. See, the centering's way off on that. And that's not whoever found that card's fault. Because he's not centered. Is that what you mean?

Yeah. He's not in the middle? No, look at the black border around the edge there. There's, like, nothing on the right. That's just the way it was cut. I was looking at him. Oh, like the image center. Yeah.

Yeah. Like I thought. So like half these cards, they don't work because the guy didn't go, scoot a little bit to the right, please. Well. Error cards. You go, all right, Dick Bossman. You just ruined.

Damn it, man. Could you just do a normal pose in the middle? And there's like one, you just see like the back half of the guy's running away. And you're like, we didn't even get a chance to get him in the middle. And do you mail these in or how do you get these graded? So in 2020, there became such a huge backlog with PSA that you had to pay four or $500 to get one card expedited. And people weren't getting their cards back for like 18 months, two years, because they were just so backlogged. So I've never submitted a card myself there. You just

buy them after the fact. Oh, so you didn't have these, you bought them. Yeah. These were cards that I got after they'd already been graded and stuff. Now, this is a good example of why you need these grading companies. This is before I knew what I was doing. This is a Ronald Acuna Gem Mint 10 rookie card. But this is, I don't even know what grading company that is. That's just, that's something you sell to an idiot, which is what I bought. Oh, because they're saying this card's a 10.

Yeah, but that company it means nothing from that particular grading company you can't just get it graded again well that's i bought that after it was already graded in that slab because i thought oh a 10 a 10 ronald acuna car it's gonna be worth millions i got it for like 18 dollars when are you planning this to be worth millions um i don't think any When are you planning this to be worth millions? I don't think any of the cards I have will be worth millions. A lot of these I collect. A, I like Jeff Samarja, and I like funny names.

I like old school cool names. I just like having them. I got some NASCAR cards. I wonder where you can get those graded. I have a Dick Trickle NASCAR, which I always thought was the funniest name in all of NASCAR. You can Google and get an estimate. These are from my era.

Oh, yeah. Dang. So here's how I collected. That's how I collected, too. Yeah. In these books. You didn't collect like this? I did when I was a kid, yeah.

Yeah. But I was told if you bought a... That's the first Trapper Keeper. A complete set never opened that they're worth more. So this is from the complete set, tops 1987. My mom wrote on here, value 19, I guess that's what we pay, $20.

And I looked it up last night and it's now worth $25. Alright. So... Is it because... So you opened it. You opened it last night? Well, I did it up last night, and it's now worth $25. All right. Is it because – So you opened it. You opened it last night? Well, I did it as a kid, but – Oh. It was the whole –

I know. I couldn't help it. I was just too into it, but that was the point. It's funny, too. They'd be like – But they're all in mint condition. They're like, this is worth $100,000 unopened, and they go, the only problem is your mom wrote the price and that's not good

like you didn't think about they're doing that these are all mint conditions because they've never been taken out you looked at them i pulled a few out just so they have been taking it uh zane smith i remember him yeah the braves yeah i i mean again i haven't had any graded i looked last night just online Googling my cards. Most of them are worth nothing. I got a few that are worth double digits. One I told you guys about previously, a Roger Maris rookie card. It's worth a few hundred.

Wow. But you got that when you got drafted. Yeah. I was waiting for him. He was two years behind me in high school. But I've got a ton of rookie cards from Ricky Henderson, Darryl Strawberry. That's awesome. People like that.

I mean, I was so into baseball cards. I was too. I texted your mom and I said, did your kids collect anything growing up? She's like, baseball cards. She said Derek had some Batman memorabilia and Abby did Beanie Babies. Yes. And do you still have your baseball cards? I don't know.

She would. I guess my mom would know. I don't know if I have them. I don't think I have them. I asked if y'all still had them, and she said she thinks the kids got the Batman toys and did something with them. She said the other stuff is at your individual houses, so she thinks they're here. Oh, I don't know. You might have so she thinks they're here oh i don't know you might have a honda's wagner yeah i don't have a honda's wagner abigail got these beanie babies

i remember when that became a big thing and my parents would buy they thought these were going to be worth money your mom said this was supposed to be her college fund yeah and abby told me that your dad every time he would go on the road, he would buy one and come back and bring it to her. And she said the tag, which I think it says, was it say tie? Yeah. You got to leave them on. That's kind of like, don't open the box.

They're worth more with the tag on them. This even got a special tag on it. Yeah. They were a big deal. I mean, I remember it was a whole thing. This was a phenomenon. And we had so many of them. Yeah, Beanie Baby. There. I mean, I remember it was a whole thing. This was a phenomenon. And we had so many of them. A beanie baby.

There was a couple that got divorced. There was a thing on Instagram where they got divorced, and they were dividing up their beanie babies in court. Here's the picture right there. These are grown people. This is, you're getting. And they're choosing which ones to do. It looks like me from 20 years ago.

It's like while they're doing that, you're like, oh, I know why you're getting divorced. Because you guys are... This does look like you a bit, Brian. That might have been me. And the judge has to watch that. A time traveler. Yeah.

You got to make sure it's fair. Yeah, they're divvying up big assets. You know, these could be worth potentially millions of dollars apiece. Feeny babies never became anything.

I thought... Weren't some of them pretty valuable? There's some now that- Is it like a Princess Di Beanie Baby? That's what your sister's talking about. She says she has a Princess Di that she didn't bring. She said that camel there is a knockoff Beanie Baby. So she got that on the black market. But those bears-

Doesn't have eyes. Dang. I mean, I looked up the most expensive Beanie Babies. There's some rare ones that, and she's got a huge crate down there that are worth a lot of, I mean, a few hundred dollars. Oh, really? Yeah. I think on average, some of them are like $400. This is the devil here.

I think it's supposed to be a bull. So each one's worth $400? I think on average, I think most of them are worth nothing, but I think there's some that are so expensive that it averages out to like $400. Well, it says a collection. Oh, it's Furby's. Furby's is another thing. There's some that came from McDonald's. I guess McDonald's gave away

Beanie Babies back in the day. And some of those are so rare that they're worth on average $400. Wow. This is a McDonald's one, she said. I mean, I think the idea of collecting. I like the idea of collecting stuff. I guess I see the idea of it. It's fun.

When I was a kid, trading baseball cards. But it's like that's what it was about. It was about trading the cards and stuff like that. And I guess I never attached the money to it as much as I wanted that person for whatever reason. We used to have the beckett magazines like in in in school yeah and we would always be looking up what cards were worth yeah i mean that was a lot of fun yeah i did i saw it maybe i did do that i didn't remember that but it was like yeah i mean you really think you were making some investment but you were like oh this card's worth 10 bucks and i bought it for a dollar yeah i got it in a pack with some well you're

trying to get those cards that were but like how many how many do i have to give you to get that remember sometimes they would have a little piece of gum in there oh yeah oh still still get old packs with the gum still in there i would eat it too yeah you gotta try it once yeah i had a piece of gum from like 1982 or 83. I wonder if the gum's worth money. Just the gum? You saved the gum. Maybe it's worth money now.

Well, before my time, they would put baseball cards in spokes of bicycles because it would make a sound. And that's why these old Mickey Mantles are so rare that there's any good condition because they would just get tore up. You never heard that? Yeah, but that's so funny to me. Just the visual. There's a little Brian out there with his i said before my time dusty i used to collect comic books that's what i had as a kid and when i moved i took i had two big tupperware big rubbermaid boxes of comic comic books i took them to this

comic book store to see if i could get some money for it. The guy flipped through them. He goes, nah, these ain't worth nothing. And I was like, but can I just leave them with you? They're worth, if you let me walk out of here, then I got a great deal. What kind did you have? Did he take them?

Yes. You know, I had some X-Men. I like Punisher. That was the comic I liked. I had like a whole set of Punisher that I really liked. Number one, two, you know, all the way. You know how it goes. And I thought that would be worth something.

It could be. I don't know. I still have the cards. I got a lot of comic cards. But, yeah, I mean, I was like my poor mom. You know, we lived in a trailer. She was buying me comic books every week. it could be i don't know i still have the cards i got a lot of comic cards but uh yeah i mean i was like my poor mom you know we lived in a trailer she was buying me comic books every week and uh i just give them away in a store i think that's why y'all stayed in a trailer yeah i mean i don't i mean it didn't help you know i mean my mom was investing in the future of comic books well we

invest in beanie babies so well comic books, there's the record comic book just sold. So last year, the Superman, the first one that he appeared in, sold for $2.6 million. Then later that year, the first Spider-Man sold for $3.6 million. Well, those are the ones that were even valuable when I was a kid.

That was the reason we were all collecting them. Because my mom was like, oh, I had that one when I was a kid. If I the reason we were all collecting them. Because my mom was like, oh, I had that one when I was a kid. If I had it, we'd be rich. Well, a different Superman just passed Spider-Man,

5.3 million. Wow. So it keeps going up. But the Supermans are by far the most... I don't feel like anybody that gets that money is someone that needs

that money either. Yeah. Like it's a guy that, you know, I mean... It's an investor. It's an investor that's like, we paid 200 grand for it. Like it's a guy that, you know, I mean. It's an investor. It's an investor that's like, we paid 200 grand for it. Now it's worth 500 grand and then it's worth this. Yeah.

They're always anonymous usually, the buyer and seller. Yeah, or it's a way to hide blood money and bad money and move money around in shady ways. That seems extreme. Like what do you mean? I mean, let's say I had $50 million of money that I acquired through bad things to get them. I need to move that money around.

Let me just buy some artwork. You're very conspiracy learning today. You're rubbing off. You two are rubbing off on me. I always think when people sell art and stuff, how do you find a buyer? If you stole art. Oh, stole.

I don't know. I mean, we've talked about the Mona Lisa, how it was stolen. And then it set for years, I think, because we talked about, how are you going to do it? And then finally someone found it. Yeah, you have to find someone in another country. Yeah, or someone that lives like one of these guys. They don't care if you know they stole it.

Yeah. They got a pet tiger that'll protect it. Now, there are cases I found with baseball cards and comic books. Someone died. The kids are cleaning out the attic, and they find a Hannes Wagner, a Superman original worth millions, and then they sell it at auction. My brother-in-law has all this Dale Earnhardt memorabilia, and it's like, I feel like he's the kind of guy that if it were worth a lot of money,

he would still be like, nah. Like, he would keep it just because he loves Dale Earnhardt. Do you know what I mean? Like, even if it were valuable and he could pay his mortgage off, he's like, nah, I like this car. Does it have sentimental value to him too? Maybe. But he just likes Dale Earnhardt that much.

Yeah. Nicholas Cage is such a big superhero fan. He had a huge comic book collection. He had the original Superman he sold for $2 million. His last name Cage comes from Luke Cage who's a Marvel character. And his son, he named his son Kal-El

which is Superman's name on Krypton. So he has one of the biggest or at least used to have one of the biggest comic book collections of anybody. Wow. That's,

yeah, I like the idea of collecting stuff but I don't know if i have the the real like the hobby of it i don't know i think i would just get it's like i don't think it ever stuck hotel keys keep those yeah but it's the like yeah it's something that i don't know if i you know the idea of trading or something i don't yeah well let's go i don't have the idea of taking advantage of something.

Like either... What do you mean? Trading can be very... You feel like you're just ripping... Someone's getting... Oh, you got to be ethical about it. You got to make sure it's a fair trade. Yeah.

You have... Because old newspapers can be worth something. And you have... Didn't you say you have the 9-11? I have the 9-12. Well, yeah. That's what I mean. About the... That'd be amazing if you had the.

I had the September 10th where they called it. That would be worth a lot. I bought the September 12th one. That was one that I did buy. You still have it? Yeah. Yeah. And I was trying to think, did I buy it?

Because I thought, it's funny to be here now. Because, I mean, maybe I thought it could be worth something. But I think I also thought, like, we have kids. Yeah, show them. Yeah, show them. So you recognized even that day, like, the significance of it. The day after. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, just seeing that newspaper and being like buying a couple and being like, this is like a headline, like Pearl Harbor. Like, we just went to Pearl Harbor, and and they sell newspaper you know that they're just replicas of replicas of the that next day and it's it's kind of weird it's crazy because you want to see it you want to see what was the other stuff about what was going on yeah there are a few iconic ones i can think man lands on moon you think of that i would keep sports sections from the tennessee and as a kid if it was some big sport event and years later i

went back looked what i thought were huge like it would be like martina naturalova wins wimbledon which i mean every year somebody's gonna win wimbledon barry goheen hit shot at the buzzer to beat george it was a lot of just v Vanderbilt stuff that I was so excited about. Here we go. Yeah. And I thought this is going to be worth a lot of money someday, but obviously it was just. And then now with the internet.

Barry Goheen might buy it off of you. It's like, you can just find those things on the internet, right? Like not, not even like if you want to buy the physical copy, but you can just see a picture of it on the internet. Right.

So, but like there was a time when, when the, and the internet didn't exist. So the only evidence for it was that thing do you know what i mean so it's like now i don't know it just feels like all that stuff doesn't mean but the fun right the fun is having it the fun is thinking right but what this was the fun for sure but the value it's like it just it's like would be like a hidden gem that no one would even know about. Now it feels like nothing's hidden or lost.

Yeah, you can find. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's like an NFT or something. I mean, I guess that's a new collectible. That's true. I like to collect DVDs that I think they're going to ban. Because I'm like, well, I can't find this streaming anymore, I want to watch this movie.

But you got a bunch. I got some. The Fugitive. Yeah. I don't have The Fugitive. I should get that. Fugitive 2. It's harder to find.

I should check Fugitive 2 out. I even forgot what that movie was we talked about. U.S. Marshals. Yeah. Blew my mind. Well, sports memorabilia is a huge thing too. And autographs. The most expensive autograph going right now is anything signed by Kobe Bryant.

Oh, yeah. I read one place where stuff's going on average for $17,000 if Kobe signed it. But then when I Googled trying to find something, I couldn't find anything close to that. But it had Kobe by far the most, Jordan second, Babe Ruth third as far as autograph memorabilia.

The Kobe thing is, maybe it is if you know it's legit. Yeah. Legit autograph. Jay Cutler, photo fourth. If you have an autograph, Jay Cutler. Oh, nice.

And he confirmed it. it yeah on our podcast that that was his signature you can like people sell everything online if you went on ebay or some of these sites and look for a nate bargatze uh there's stuff out there oh really i i may or may not have been the person who puts on on sale. But here we go, right there. Oh, someone's selling the Lanyard? The meet and greet pass from your rain check tour, $10. But the rain check tour is still going on, huh? Yeah.

I mean, you would. If you want a free meet and greet, yeah. This is not even memorabilia. They're like, try to get a meet and greet here. I've got one. Does it say anything else about where it came from or who the seller is? Because I've got the, what was the one before that with the coffee cup? Oh, yeah.

I could sell that for a ton. Yeah. But there's a lot. I actually did look. There's a lot of Nate Bargetti stuff on there. Like there's autographed pictures. And signed 8x10. Is that an authentic still

there yeah what's that one going for i think it was ten dollars wasn't it yeah this one eight and there's another eight by ten signed at the seller it looks like a homeless pimp picture it is from the seller that's in spanish or something and we got Oh this is cool The greatest average American Poster Going for $17 Alright That's not bad Something

That's not bad at all Still there Still available Yeah In stock Multiple Multiple stocks So you don't have to be

I mean There's comedians Anything people can get autographed And that's why We've talked about this Some of these professional Autograph seekers They're doing it to sell it. It's not for kids.

Yeah, that's a weird. Because I saw them with like, I was dealing with like Sal. Yeah. When we were with Impractical Jokers. Well, I was with you one night. We just made that. Laura made that and gave the magnet set that we did. We gave that away.

We just give it away. Now they're selling it for 15 bucks on eBay. That's why you can't give people things. You give somebody something, they go try to sell it. Like I worked, my buddy and I worked at TMZ and we, I was walking around with him once in New York City and we went to try to catch somebody on a late night show. And all of these autograph people are just showing up. And they like know each other. It's like a club.

They're all showing up everywhere getting autographs. Very strange. Yeah, and it's a weird thing. I mean, I remember being with Chris Rocks, and a guy was in the lobby with his kids. And then I remember being with Sal Vecano and all them Practical Joker guys. And I mean, they are just, we go to this restaurant. I was with you on that oh yeah oh yeah pittsburgh and pittsburgh

yeah yeah they were everywhere yeah and then i mean uh and it's a weird thing because you don't want to be ever mean to someone especially because they can have their kid out there yeah but you're also like this guy is just trying to get this autographs and they just play the you know it's like a sad kind of come on man like you're not gonna like you would think like then you make those guys be jerks and you're like dude every town y'all are coming to this and yours and your reasoning is not you're you're trying not to have a job right so you're coming up with this thing and then you guilt people into they do the autograph and then and it might be easier to just have a job might be i mean you're working so hard at this what if you put that into a real creative venture

you know what i mean i always see i always think about that when i see people like panhandling i'm like this is hard work you might think about getting a job. You tell them that? Well, no, but it's like. You call the company? It might be easy. You call the panhandling company? Yeah.

And you do it the proper way? Yeah, so you got your whole spiel down. It's like, if you put this into a real sales job, you could be making some real money here. Yeah. Yeah. The most expensive sports memorabilia ever is um i think the perks are different though yeah maybe so i think pain handling perks are a

little bit better than yeah no drug testing policies yeah you're on your own time come and go as you want yeah you set your own hours yeah You set your own hours. Most expensive memorabilia ever sold was the original Olympic Games Manifesto. This is from the modern Olympics where the guy wrote up the idea and the plans and kind of the rules for it, and it sold at Sotheby's Auction House for $8.8 million. Jeez. There's maybe, like, I'm trying trying to think would i want this more i would i would almost

rather have this than uh baseball card because this is like something you can read it's like you know it's it's it's like something that could be in a museum they thought this was going to go for somewhere between 700 000 to a million and it sold for 8.8 million so that guy had a good day whoever the seller was yeah that would be really cool to have yeah i almost think i would rather have history things now than i would a baseball card honus wagner's over uh that's over 100 years old yeah no i i don't want honus wagner but it'd be like it would need to be that it needs to be i know everybody knows this card everybody knows like yeah it's that and it's the card i could see i mean i could see one have some bigger but uh i guess it's like if you don't

get the autograph or if you don't acquire the thing then it's like you just bought it it's like is that take the special away from it because you're just like oh so you just had eight million dollars right and it's you know now i understand buying this because it's like how else would you have got how else would you have gotten that and it's and you tracked it down like so i guess when when it's history that's what i mean when it's history but it's like you if you're paying all this money for a Michael Jordan autograph, you're like, well, you just- You just bought it.

You just bought it. There's no experience tied in with it. No experience. Yeah, there's no story tied in with it. This is what a lottery winner's buying, something like this. I just won the lottery. I got $400 million. Yeah, I'll buy this.

And then he's drunk one night and forgets what it is and throws it away uses it for kindling to start a fire or something he's like oh rich yeah it doesn't matter yeah i mean i could almost see are like buying art i've been thinking about art like i'm like i wonder if i could get in if i if i would get into it i think i could do you like any kind of art in particular? I don't know. I don't know any. But I think when I look at it, I like it on a wall,

and I think it's nice. And I could see looking at it, and you're like. But then I also, maybe I could buy it at iBiggle. That's stupid. And we have art. Laura, we have art down. I don't know if I look at it. I do think the older you get, the more like good art is like,

like when you're like late teens, early twenties, like a Salvador Dali poster is like, that's big time, you know? But like, as you get older, like appreciating good art, it feels good. I don't understand art at all. Well, there's something you see it like, you know, the starry night or like, if you had the original one, it's like, I could could see because you could stare at it and i would look i think you would look at it and be like i can't believe this is in my house yeah like that's the stuff that it would like i would buy something for that i can't believe because i guess it's your journey

maybe maybe it's that it's your journey to acquire a piece like that like so the experience with it is how did i get my you went from i could never ever even dream of getting this to then you have the original and you're like now that's in my house that's insane so all of that journey's tied up in the value in that picture that's almost's almost like you've talked about when you get a watch for all the significant moments in your career. Yeah. All of those, it's all of that tied up in it. Yeah. But you got to be able to keep that.

Once you start collecting stuff, because I can even see it with the watches. I like them and I like that idea. even see it with the watches like i like them and i and i like that idea and then you're like but am i gonna it's like you almost like you need one the like one thing has to be tied into it i guess so like i could see for myself like being like all right if there was a piece of art that i'm like i want to somehow get this original one like how do i make it where i can like it's like i like that challenge of a thing you know that's like a fun chat like how do I make it where I can? Like, it's like, I like that challenge of a thing. You know, that's like a fun challenge. Like, how do I get to that?

What do I got to, I got to do some pretty crazy things. I don't know what I got to do, but I got to do some crazy things to get that. Yeah. Like, that's actually, that might be my thing. What if I tell you all, can you buy this? This is the Scream painting, which I used to have a poster of this in my dorm room this but could you ever buy the real one no i think all of these live in museums now so how do you ever own this kind of art there are i was about to talk about that so david geffen you know geffen records he's supposedly the biggest buyer and seller of the art world he's got original um

some a lot of these things it's estimated 2.3 billion dollars um so i think like if you paint a ton of stuff like van gogh or any of these guys there are occasional a private owner will get a hold of one and then once it's they own it and it just gets passed around and as long as no one gives a museum, you can keep buying it from someone else with more money. But I think the majority of them go to museums. I mean, I've been to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. But isn't the museum own? The museum doesn't own it.

Doesn't it use like someone owns it and then they? I think a lot of times someone does donate it. Yeah. Yeah. So they could take it back. Or you can go. I guess so. I still retain ownership of this

but i will let you have it in exchange for you just taking care of it and making sure that you yeah the upkeep on it so how do you do that i don't know i don't know if i can i mean this i don't want to how much if you wanted to like i mean you got a priceless piece of art in your house now you're all worried about security. That's what I'm saying. Fire, damage. You give it to a museum. How do I give it to, put it in an old hickory? Country club.

That painting, The Scream, the one we were just looking at, in 2012, it sold for $119 million. Wow. And at the time, it was the most expensive artwork ever sold at an auction. So you could buy it, Nate. See, it seems too scary. That's so weird, honestly. Do you know where it's at now?

Like, is it in someone's house? I'll find out. I thought it was in a museum. I don't know where it lives. Yeah, you'd have to be a billionaire. But you can even find people that are making good art. It's not these classic paintings, but they're making good art for several for you know several thousand dollars you know even one of our folks yeah they make some good graphic art yeah steve cohen owner of the mets he uh he has a original van gogh his overall portfolio is over a billion dollars in art jay-z and beyonce have a half a billion dollars in art in their house or art that they own.

So you can do it. It's expensive to get the best of it. You've got to get some gold records out there. Yeah. But I think there's some – I mean, how did Beyonce and Jay-Z, how – like there's no way they spent half a billion dollars on art. It's just worth half a billion.

I guess. How do you spend a half a billion? Like how much It's just worth half a billion. I guess. How do you spend a half a billion? How much money could you have? I know, that's what I'm saying. You spend half a billion on, even if you're worth a billion, I would imagine they would say, how about you don't spend half of it on art?

I guess if it's an investment, and you're like, well, this will never go down in price. But for it to never go down in price, there's a point, well, how much money does someone have to have? You have a billion, and you don't think it, this will never go down in price. Yeah. But for it to never go down in price, there's a point where, well, how much money does someone have to have? You have a billion, and you don't think it's ever going to go down. Well, you need people to have like $400 billion for that.

So your limited group of who wants to sell it is, I mean, you know them. Yeah, it's all status. You want to call them. Yeah. Five people. It's all status stuff at that point. You just bring people in and be like, look at this. This is how much I paid for it.

Charlie Sheen bought one of Babe Ruth's World Series rings for $2 million. So I guess he could just wear it on his hand. I think he later sold it, or maybe sold it for $2 million, but he had it for a while. Yeah, it's like you buy something like that, you're not modest about it. You don't go, you're not humble, and you're telling people what you pay keep it in the closet yeah yeah no i mean scream payton would be behind my head right now it's not even in a frame you're just like out and you're like i mean you're just damaging this i mean what's that? Yeah, it's mine. Yeah. This weekend at an auction, Bobby Bonilla's famous contract sold for $180,000.

Oh, that's cool. The actual paperwork of it? Yeah. His agent sold it, who came up with this contract. Do you know about this contract? Yeah. So Bobby Bonilla was playing for the Mets, and he had some clause where every- You don't know?

Have you ever heard that name? Yeah, I've heard the name. I think someone told me something about this. If we told you he raised NASCAR, though, would you have believed that? No, no. Because you know NASCAR. Yeah, I mean, I don't feel like there's a lot. There's some Bobbies, but not a lot of Bonillas.

There's some Bobbies in there, though. Basically, his contract, long after he retired he gets 1.1 million dollars every july 1st every year till the year 2035 oh so they have there's a bobby bonilla's day yes somebody told me about this it's bobby bonilla day because he gets his 1.1 million from from the mets so that contract just sold this weekend for 180 000 now you also get it says a 30 minute zoom meeting with him but then later on it says you get a day with him where you get to go to breakfast a trip to Citi Field for batting practice

and dinner. So you get more than just the contract. I think I'd pass on the 30 minute Zoom meeting with Bobby Bonilla. I don't know what I would sell. It's crazy what you did. It's crazy man. I was reading through your contract. I think you got a little more. That's crazy what you did. It's crazy, man.

I was reading through your contract. I think you got a little more. Why would you want the contract? You telling me that a guy bought it is as exciting as if the guy said, hey, I just bought it. Here it is. If I had to pull it out and showed it to you, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I would probably talk about Brian more than I would talk about you.

I go, dude, I was talking to Brian the other day. He said he knows a guy that bought that body. He wouldn't even. And you're like, no, I'm the one that bought it. You're like, Adam, that's ridiculous. Okay. Yeah. You're not going to read the contract of it.

Yeah. This agent really, though, is crushing it, though. Am I right, though? He's like, he makes that contract and then goes off and sells the contract. Yeah. This agent's working it. Yeah. Bobby Bonilla's getting a million dollars every year,

but he's still getting his 10%, probably, and then he gets another $180,000. Yeah. I don't think athletes have to pay off their salaries. I'm almost positive because I've talked to them. Okay. I think it's all off-field is where they make their money. I think it's, I'm almost positive because I've talked to them. Okay. I think they make, it's all off field

is where they make their money. Oh, interesting. Or maybe the exact opposite? No. Oh, you know what? I'm thinking, I don't know. Yeah, maybe I'm thinking of golf.

Golf is, because they make the money and agents don't get anything. Of their winnings? Of their winnings. Okay. But they would get their off the field. Endorsements and such.

Yeah. Another big thing that billionaires are into is rare coins. Any kind of coins, really. Well, yeah, I guess that's true. But the most expensive coin ever sold for $18.9 million last year. It's a gold coin that I guess Roosevelt ended the gold standard back in the 1930s. This is where they didn't want us using gold as currency anymore. And this is the only – so they melted them all down, these gold double eagle.

But one got out. All downhill after that. And only one private person has owned this coin, this double eagle. The whole time? I think so, yeah. Wow. Yep. And, wow, $18.9 million.

$18.9 million. How much was the value of the actual coin? Was it a dollar coin? I think it was $20. I read somewhere. A $20 coin? So that's the most value. And then the second one is the U.S. silver dollar.

$17.94 silver dollar. It's the first coin ever minted when U.S. became a country and they started doing currency. I got a couple of those. How much is that? $10 million. I do get the idea you own something that doesn't exist. It's a one of one. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. We inherited when my great-grandfather died. Him and his wife, my great-grandfather, they and his wife my great-grandfather they've collected a bunch of random stuff we got a big bunch of spoons we had a spoon collection and i guess they're valuable i guess they look nice we just kept them under the couch in the living room because we don't we don't know how to display a bunch of spoons yeah but of spoons. I've never kept anything under the couch even if I didn't want it.

I'm just very confused on why the brilliance of your family and y'all don't know how to put stuff away. You go, what are we going to do with it? I just slide it under the couch. We can't display it.

We can't display it and Hide it under the couch. I guess that is a little odd to keep it under the couch, but that's where we kept it. How high was your couch up? Nah, I think it fit just right. I think that's why we did it. We were like, oh, this is great. You looked everywhere.

You didn't know what to do. I want to go to your parents' house now. Y'all are big into forks. Y'all might have all kinds of stuff. What else is under there? Yeah. There's all kinds of stuff. Yeah, I under there? There's all kinds of stuff. Yeah, I need to look around.

My mom just texted me this weekend. She found, my parents are moving, so she's like going through the garage in their house and found. And you have a garage. And still went under the couch. I just don't know what to do with these spoons. I think it's like you got these silver, it's like pure silver. So you almost don't want to to do with these spoons. I think it's like you got these silver. It's like pure silver. So you almost don't want to put them in the garage.

That feels dangerous. Yeah. So under the couch. Do you know what I mean? So under the couch is a little safer. Yeah, a little safer. She pulled her baseball glove out, sold it. Right. Get rid of that.

But she found, we have a Babe Ruth autographed baseball. Oh. Found it. Wow. She got some sort of certification too, but it's old for my great-grandfather. So we're going to send that in. You have any idea what it might be worth? I saw on eBay, I saw some sold $7,000, $8,000.

Look a little worse. Wow. Look a little worse than this one. Maybe $10,000. I think everybody that has a thing, they always go, I saw some, they were worse than worse. Wow. Look a little worse than this one. Maybe $10,000. I think everybody that has a thing, they always go, I saw some, they were worse than mine.

Yeah. That's why everybody says that, you know, I got a card. I've seen one card that went for $10,000. That guy, his card was garbage.

Some of these Babe Ruth balls autographed, you can't even see the autograph with your naked eye because it's faded so much. Yeah. So you have to look at it under infrared light, and then it'll show up, and those still sell for thousands of dollars.

Yeah, you would have to probably put it in a case that has. That showed the light, yeah. So you can see it. I found a. We'll see. I was reading this weekend about how a Kirk Gibson rookie card's worth some money in good condition, and I had it, and I found it. I think it's in here.

And I'd taken a black marker when I was a kid and blacked out one of his teeth. Oh, no. Probably not worth as much. Why did you do that? Because I was a kid. I don't know. Just sometimes you're just like, that's what kids do. Most of these are in good condition, but the Kurt Gibson.

Imagine if you could have just had TV admitted by when you were a kid. You wouldn't have been so bored. So what were the spoons? Did you have another thing with the spoons? Silver spoon. Are they worth something? I think they're worth a lot. Literally born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Born with a silver spoon under the couch.

That's a good metaphor for me. I don't know what we're doing with it now that is a good metaphor you had spoons you had silver spoons they were just under the couch they weren't y'all didn't eat y'all didn't eat from them that's so many spoons you had others to eat from yes but this is one of those things we don't know we're not going to do anything with these spoons we don't really care about them well we're like we'll pass them down i think you just think i'll just pass them down if you need to get rid of them though i will take them you'll take those silver spoons yeah okay first one i ever held i'll loan them to you like a museum yeah yeah and i'll take them back at some point yeah i'll put them under my couch is he's probably a lot of stuff under there he goes and when he means under his couch he means the door that's under his couch is he's probably a lot of stuff under there he goes and when he means under his

couch he means the door that's under his couch that goes downstairs into his bunker yeah like he goes he's got i got a ton of room under my couch he goes you can stand up there's food for years under there that's right uh if the silver spoons are you don't want to go see like antique roadhouse, that'd be like a perfect antique roadhouse thing. And my grandmother, she had a guy come and do an appraisal of all her stuff. So we haven't looked at those spoons in particular, but I think at some point we'll take it in.

We had a weird pot that we inherited from our great grandfather too. That was worth a lot. And then we had a couple rugs just in a normal house with all a bunch of other stuff we had these like a really expensive rug i read about a guy who was borderline homeless he down on his luck and he had a navajo blanket that thought was worth nothing and then somehow he found out someone i think he went to one of those antique roadshow thing it was worth 1.5 million dollars and then he found out someone i think he went to one of those antique road show thing it was worth 1.5 million dollars and then he sold it yeah i think it sold at auction for

1.5 million wow yeah and he was using it as a homeless guy i mean he wasn't homeless but he just had a wreck where i think maybe part of his leg got amputated and he was just barely getting by and and then he sold this navajo blanket He's wrapping his leg up with that blanket. That's why I sold so much of those blood. I like the term borderline homeless. You know what I mean? That's a fun term. You're not homeless, but.

Off the grid. You're almost there. If you lived off the grid, you could be like, if someone was like, they couldn't wrap their head around what you mean, you'd be like, borderline homeless. Yeah, right. Or you could be like if someone was like i don't they couldn't wrap their head around what you mean you'd be like borderline home yeah right or you might be really homeless but you're choose it yeah borderline i got a place i got a couple places got a couple places yeah uh thoroughbred thoroughbred racehorses it's a big collector thing for billionaires

most of the the most expensive ones are in the united arab am i right how do you say united arab am i right how did you say uae uae okay dubai all that but uh i thought you're really saying that's what it's called yeah yeah because i we talked about once before on here and i think a long time ago yeah uh but one horse sold for 70 million dollars wow and uh this is back in 2000 he did win the Kentucky Derby which was about two million in prize money but they use them for stud fees um that's where you make most of your money so it's 150,000 to have this horse breed with your horse to try to make more purebred champion horses. And then it eventually dropped, and he retired in 2020.

I don't think they got their $70 million back. Yeah, I would imagine. That doesn't seem like that high of a – I mean, if you bought something for $70 million and you're charging $150,000, I would think, well, that's not – you would never be able to get your money back. It seems like it, yeah. That'd be $466,000. That horse has got to be busy. Yeah.

That many times to get it back. To get your $70,000. Will Chamberlain. Yeah. I mean. Will Chamberlain of horses. Yeah. Jewelry.

It's another big thing. Now, most of these, they don't know who has them because they always keep it secret. They think at one time Elizabeth Taylor had the biggest collection of jewelry, over a billion dollars, I think, until she died. I'm sorry, not over a billion, 157 million. It was a little off there. But she died, and they auctioned them off. But at one time, she had the biggest collection. What's interesting, just the fact that she owned it definitely increased the value of it yeah i guess if you're that famous and you're

like well i can just own it and just the fact that i have it you can build it yeah that's another way to get yeah like you could think that with collecting stuff to be like all right if you're never going to get that one thing you're like but how can i make something i've don't know if this is true i've read that Mike Trout will not sign. There's one card of his own that he won't sign because it just becomes too valuable. One of his rookie cards. He's like, if I sign that, that's like a – it messes up the whole market. That'll just become a crazy valuable card.

I don't know Mike Trout. He's a baseball player. It seems like a baseball name, Mike Trout. He's a baseball player. Yeah. It seems like a baseball name, Mike Trout. It's a great name. Yeah. Okay. So he does it maybe.

No, that is crazy. Yeah. So he can make money like if he's, is he in on the sales? And so therefore he doesn't want to decide. No, it would just disrupt

the whole market because this particular card and autograph would be this valuable it feels cocky i guess i'm trying to figure out why he cares you know it's worth so much that if i sign it it's just astounding well what if he said i mean he's setting himself up or he could set his kid up he could set up a family member just to go like i'll sign it i'll sign one for you and you can go sell it it's the only one that's so much it's the only one that i would ever

sign literally just by me doing this yeah i can give generational wealth to your family yeah yeah stamps stamps is a big one for old and young and rich and a bunch of young bucks are in the stamps huh yeah in asia especially that's it's kind of become a big thing these they think it's a good investment what's it called canoodling i don't know i hadn't heard that that's kind of become a big thing. They think it's a good investment. What's it called? Canoodling? I don't know. I hadn't heard that. That's what stamp collecting is? Yeah.

Finagling? Well, I've heard that term. I didn't know it for stamp collecting, but China and Saudi Arabia are really big into stamp collecting now. Falatelist. That's what it is. I bet you could think of what would be the next thing. What could be something now that's like,

just keep it? I've got some stuff on here. Oh, really? That I was just going to kind of end on. Fabergé egg, which I think Ocean's 12, that was what they stole. There was 65 made in Russia and then there was a revolution and they all got lost. And now there's 10, I think, that are left to the private owners. How's their, like, do people just lose this stuff?

You know, in World War II, Nazis destroyed so much artwork. Oh, really? They came through and burned a bunch and stole it all. And World War II really messed up a lot of what was. That's Saddam's palace? Yeah, I watched the movie Red Notice. Okay. On Netflix.

And it's with Dwayne Johnson and Ron. Gosling? Reynolds. Oh, Ron Reynolds. But they go and I think they find something that's like all this stuff that's like the Nazis. Dwayne Johnson is dropping the movies, huh? Yeah, this is an older movie. Left and right.

Or it came out. 2021. It's a classic. It is. I bring up Shell Shaker shell shake redemption you're like don't tell me yeah i hadn't seen it yet yeah this one i i watched it and uh but it's like the idea like there could could there be some art like i guess there's like could there be did they take you know would they have they destroyed it but like maybe they knew like hey this stuff is

out there because it's like how much because it is like our stuff just gets lost you know like how's it lost it was under the couch and then you sold the place forgot to you're like forgot about the couch forgot to move the spoons next thing you know family moves in they're like we got these valuable spoons here and they live under they don't ever look under the couch yeah They're just happy that there was even a couch in there. Yeah. Such a good couch. Why would I move it?

Yeah. And family couldn't afford spoons. They only had to eat cereal forks. And then they just never knew. One day they found it. When they finally move out, and they go, he goes,

I'd say the only thing was, this town doesn't sell spoons. Not a lot of spoons around here. Not a lot of spoons around here. Not a lot of spoons around here. And you go, I'm so sorry. You lived here for 25 years. There is the most spoons. Actually, why they don't sell spoons is because the most and the best spoons.

We got them all. Look underneath that couch right now. Look underneath that couch right now. You're going to feel stupid. Look at that couch. Who doesn't clean under the couch? Who doesn't clean under the couch? You don't clean under the couch once? You said they eat their cereals with a fork.

That's just such a funny picture. Never get the milk. Never get the milk. Just cereal. Classic Cars. Jay Leno owns almost 200 automobile and motorcycles worth $150 million. Seinfeld sold his collection in 2016 worth $22 million. He has Porsches.

Yeah. One of his Porsches sold for $5.3 million. Wow. I didn't know that. I knew those two. Gabriel Iglesias. Yeah. He owns VW bus models.

And he has a fluffy museum where he displays all his VW Volkswagen buses. All right. Where's the museum at? Wherever Fluffy lives, I guess. The Fluffy Museum. I love that. Yeah. He's got over 80.

Look at this. Maybe the museum has something to do with him. Like with the Volkswagen. I guess that was his... I mean, he was 17 years... He was 17 years... Yeah, so he... It was his first car, so there's definitely sentimental value to this.

Yeah. That's... What would the Nate bargetti museum be you know i always think about trying to collect something and i can never figure out what to collect because i don't think i care golf balls no but i i just go then i don't care yeah and then i like i those golf bags weren't you collecting those for a while? I have some of those, but those are just for the, the room.

But it's like Jason day gave me, uh, I got one of his golf bags that he used in the masters first year. And, uh, uh, he finished second. And then Augustine gave me one of his tour bags.

That'd be worth something. August, John Augustine goes off and becomes huge then but he never used it but it's i don't yeah i just try to think like what could i collect and i don't know what i would i don't know what i want to collect enough that i care about like i don't know i don't know if i appreciate that That's it. I have a hard time appreciating these kind of things. Like cars, I don't really appreciate. I like those watches, but then I realize, like,

I'm not appreciating, like, a person that buys these watches. I like the watches, and I like the – but it's like, to me, it's more about I wore it on that, and it meant for the special. I have to tie it in. Yeah. I guess there's a movie called Bling Ring about a bunch of teenagers who would break into Hollywood stars' homes

and steal stuff. And Orlando Bloom had $3 million worth of watches that they stole from his home. He was really into watches. There's a lot of celebrities on here that are really, really into Rolexes and stuff like that. So this was based off a true story,

the bling ring? I mean, I think it's a true story, and then they made a movie about it, about how these teens, called the Hollywood Hills Burglars. So yeah, it's based on a... All right. You go, was that based on a true story?

And you go, I think it was a true story, and then they based a movie on it? Yeah. Circular. Who's on first? I feel like I might be walked to something tonight. Bling ring. Bling ring. Yeah, that's like a clueless sequel, I think.

Yeah, it looks like it. Not the poster, I would imagine. Yeah. I meant to mention, you kind of mentioned on that baseball card where the guy wasn't centered. Error cards are a big thing because basically mistakes made by the company. And there was one of the most famous ones, Billy Ripken, Cal Ripken's brother. Do you know this card? Mm-hmm.

It had the obscenity written on the end of the bat, and it made it on the baseball card. So if you have one of those, it's worth a lot of money because they quickly i got a bunch of wcw cards i feel like that whole thing was a mistake there uh i always thought i had one of those cars but then i think maybe i just saw one of those let's say one of those that maybe i read about it there's a wcw i do agree i never got into the wcw yeah like the ones with a yellow around it you had a bunch of these oh i got so many of those maybe it could be worth something yeah people you know put that in the dusty sleigh museum yeah i agree with the wcw i i uh and then that it hurt me with wrestling once

they all combined i was like now I'm really out. Yeah. I could never get into WCW. Yeah. I mean, the NWO years were something. They were something. Yeah. Hollywood Hogan.

I mean. Goldberg. Yeah. Well, anyway, there's Adele Murphy. That's the negative one on the card. So it looks like he's batting left handed, I think. Instead of. So if you find one of those rare cards, they're worth something.

Keep them. Keep them. All right, so here's a few things that they think could be worth something down the road. So if you have one of these, keep them. McDonald's plastic straws. I guess McDonald's doesn't do plastic straws anymore. No, they still do.

Maybe it's some kind. They talk about the yellow and the red and the white, like the coloring of the McDonald's straw, but they still do. Okay, well some kind. But he's talking about the yellow and the red and the white, like the coloring of the McDonald's straw. But they still do. Okay, well, I think they're phasing them out. I don't think you can get one in the UK, and they think soon there won't be any. So if you have some, you might want to keep them.

I think America will hold on. Yeah, I'll have them. Yeah. You'll have them even if McDonald's stops? You'll find a way? No, I don't know, but not yeah i'll grab some right now are we talking just plastic straws that you just like take out of the wrapper or like it's a special mcdonald's straw how do you open a straw i like to this has fascinated me because everybody does if you look around everybody does it differently yeah but it's

something you don't think about there i've never peel it off so you peel off the top sometimes you can't or you can do it like this and pull it that's when you wait tables you hold the end and then pull the rest of it off that way you can leave the tip with the okay paper on there i should almost say starbucks has got a new their straw i mean you gotta it's like trying to uh hard boiled egg it's trying to get the shell off. Oh, yeah. It just sticks to the, you're just like scraping it, and you're like. I don't like paper straws, so I don't want to use those. So then they found, they went to this plastic. They've made it worse. You almost like, just go back to the paper.

Oh, yeah. I mean, and I really don't like paper, because you can't just, it doesn't move off. It like sticks to it. It just gets all soft. Yeah, I think I always would do that. And then I always look in the hole to make sure nothing's inside of it. What could be inside of it? Oh, just some paper?

Paper or something. I just always do it, and then I give it a little glance. Have you ever found anything in there? I think I did. Maybe not, but then I think I did one time to remind myself, this is why we do it. And I think I remember telling myself that. Yeah.

You did it. Do you always use straws? No. Not sitting down. I use them. The only time I like them is with coffee, like a Starbucks or something. Or a fountain drink. I always use a fountain drink.

Not every time, but I like a nice fountain drink. Yeah, a straw with a fountain drink, that's the way to go. It's nice. A styrofoam cup. Oh, yeah. I don't like a styrofoam cup. Oh, a styrofoam cup's the best. Tastes better out of there.

Yeah. I'm telling you. Well, some McDonald's plastic straws recently sold for a few hundred dollars on eBay to some people in the UK because they can't get them. Wow. All right. Just buy a plane ticket here. Yeah. You can get them as much as you want.

Probably cost more than a few hundred um get a visit of town yeah get something out of it uh the original amazon echo that's like the round bass speaker i guess um because it'll just be like a flip phone or one of the block phones or whatever they think that'll be worth something someday and it'll have probably a lot of somebody's secrets in it. Yeah. But I mean, a flip phone, is that even worth anything? That's a good question. I don't know.

I said that like nowadays, they're worth so much. If not, eventually, I'm sure it will be. These things. By the way, you talked about, you joked about episodes ago about an Amazon, an Alexa riding a Roomba around the house. I wasn't joking, though, but yes. Amazon just bought Roomba, the company, and people are worried about it. Because now Amazon will just have a map of your house.

Yeah. They'll know if you have a crib in your room. They'll know. If you have spoons under your couch. They'll know all that stuff. I posted that video on my Facebook, and some dudes got very upset with me about it. They were so mad that I had made that stuff. I posted that video on my Facebook and some dudes got very upset with me about it. They were so mad that I had made that joke. If you're listening, there may or may not have been quotation marks around.

And it's like, yeah, I mean, they were like, oh, but you have a cell phone. And I'm like, well, yeah, it's hard to live without a cell phone these days, but I don't need the Roomba roaming around the house. It's almost like I'll give you, I'm letting you have access, but it doesn't mean you get just all the access. Right, yes. I'm going to draw the line somewhere. Exactly. Yeah.

Well, they bought Roomba for $1.7 billion. So I'm sure they're going to have a little camera on there. It's just going to know about everything in your home. It'll be like the robot in what, Rocky III? I think you mentioned that once before. That really stuck with you, didn't it? Yeah, it's the worst character ever in a movie. It was like taller than a person.

Yeah, it's the worst character ever to be. And then iPods and iPod Shuffle. I guess iPods, they've stopped making them. I think technology is going to get so crazy that, I mean, it almost would be like if you had an iPod Shuffle. I guess iPods, they've stopped making them. I think technology is going to get so crazy that, I mean, it almost would be like if you had an iPod Shuffle, it'd be an art piece. I guess that's what it would be more than. Well, they said after Guardians of the Galaxy came out, they used a Sony Walkman in that, that Sony Walkman's shot up in value

because it's like a retro piece. Yeah. Not retroactive. So they think the same thing with iPods because they's like a retro piece. Yeah. Not retroactive. So they think the same thing with iPods because they don't make them anymore. Yeah. I could see you have a bunch of these things

that someone could come over and touch it. But it's like, I don't think it'd ever be because you'd want to touch it. Like, if I want to show Harper a Sony Walkman, you know,

I would want her to press it and that kind of stuff so i mean it's hard to keep it in like mint it's crazy to think about she's never used like cds huh no i mean i think for her she'll be like she'll probably kind of remember dvds like enough and maybe there's a blu-ray like there like we had i we had a Blu-ray. Like, we had a Blu-ray player. We had, like, I've had some, like, Rio or some of those animated shows for her on some of the things.

But, yeah, like, it's never going to, like, for her, we'll be like, yeah, I kind of remember DVDs. You know, like, I kind of, like, I remember Atari, but we had an Atari. But it's like, I remember more Sega Genesis than I do Atari, but I think I remember Atari, but we had an Atari. But it's like I remember more Sega Genesis than I do Atari, but I think I remember Atari. So I sure remember some DVDs.

It's wild. It's wild. Yeah. All right. All right. That's it. That's it. That's it.

All right, everybody. Thank you for listening, as always. I'm trying to think where I'll be this week. I'll be in Wisconsin Dales. Maybe somewhere else. Wisconsin Dales. Maybe somewhere else. Wisconsin Dales. And then Vail and all that, neighborhood2.com. Check that out.
