Let's get unhinged. 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,640 Jake, I went on an adventure the other week. 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,440 I don't want to know about. It we have a podcast where we 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,360 can talk about the adventure. I did it specifically for this. 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,560 No, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm kidding. Like I, I'd love to hear about 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,600 how your how your weekend adventure was it. 14 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,080 It wasn't just hanging at home, I take it. 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,200 No, it wasn't actually. So I have I have a lot of work 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,840 travel coming up and some of them some of the trips I'm 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,880 adding on an extra day to spend time with friends or to explore 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,080 the city of maybe not have been to before. 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,200 But I will say, whenever I do that, I do try to go to antique 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,280 stores and vintage shops so I can bring those type of stories 21 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:09,280 back to for the podcast. Because whenever you go shopping 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,360 in another locale, I'm going to talk about, oh, OK. 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,960 So whenever you go shopping in another locale, like it's fun to 24 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,160 see what they have. And, and I know I've talked 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,400 about before, whenever I stop by an antique store in Maine and 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,200 they were selling Civil War era stuff and I'm going, I didn't, I 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,640 didn't even know that was legal. Like you could do that. 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,400 I thought everything was supposed to be in a museum. 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,360 It's supposed to be you turn into Indiana Jones in that 30 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,400 moment and just start punching the shopkeepers, you know? 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,320 Well, how so? It like, yes, I like going to 32 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,080 the shops. I love talking to the people 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,720 that own these places and, and having those conversations with 34 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,160 them. Another thing I've started doing 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,200 is I will look at Facebook Marketplace for the location 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040 that I'm in. So Facebook Marketplace is based 37 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,320 off of your geographic location of where you're at. 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,600 And when I'm traveling, I'll turn it to, you know, pick up 39 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,480 the geolocation for the area that I'm in. 40 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,600 And this stuff that comes up. People are crazy. 41 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,600 So like when you say like they're asking too much or 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,520 they're getting like they don't know what they're getting rid of 43 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,480 or what. Just some of the crazy things 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,040 like, you know, maybe it's a folk art that they made while 45 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280 high on meth. And I'm going, no, that's not 46 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,040 worth 50 bucks. There's also times so like in 47 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,840 Florida, my friends are trying to find an old surfboard that 48 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,800 they can build a, a bench out of to try to buy an old used 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,720 surfboard in Florida. It's really hard to find that at 50 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,800 a, at a price that you're like, hey, I'm going to drill holes in 51 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,360 this thing and I'm going to put it up. 52 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,080 However, to buy a used surfboard in North Texas cheap because 53 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,440 usually someone's like, I can't give this away. 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,480 Like I need it to leave my garage. 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,760 Right, I just did this for the Graham one weekend and now I'm 56 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,000 stuck with this thing. I live nowhere near a body of 57 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,480 water and the Graham didn't work for me. 58 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,720 Well so I did find a used surfboard out in Hawaii at the 59 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,520 Goodwill and I think they were asking $20.00 for it and I 60 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,040 texted my friends. You got to get it back to your 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,520 crab. Yeah. 62 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:26,800 Where's you live? Yeah. 63 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,720 Well, so I texted my friends in Florida. 64 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,240 I was like, hey, I found a surfboard for $20 and I'm like, 65 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,880 cool, bring it back. And I was like, no. 66 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,960 No, you know what I'm going to, I'm going to put it in the 67 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,720 water. I'm going to kind of angle it 68 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,360 towards you and I'm going to push. 69 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,040 Yes. And in about two months, go and 70 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,760 check. Except for for that surfboard to 71 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,920 get from Hawaii to Florida, it's going to go a lot. 72 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,800 I can see it floating in, like, the Panama Canal, like, oh, 73 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,320 cool, It took the shortcut. Yeah. 74 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,120 Yeah, it's OK. I put a note on it. 75 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,160 It's OK. Well, so a couple weeks ago I 76 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,760 was out running some errands and I saw the beacon that has caught 77 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,399 my eye on weekends, which is the notorious estate sell sign. 78 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,880 And I'm like, OK, well, I don't have anywhere to be at this 79 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,920 pressing moment. And so I did a hard right think 80 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,120 of like Dukes of Hazzard, like going around the corner, like 81 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,240 got to get there. And I don't know when this 82 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680 estate sale happened, but whenever I walked in, I was 83 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,640 probably the second person that I've walked into this house for 84 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,280 the day. And I saw a lady leaving with 85 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,640 some fake plants. And I was like, that's a good 86 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,720 idea to get. Do you know how expensive like 87 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,720 new fake plants are? Oh yeah. 88 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:54,320 They're ridiculous. They are kind of crazy. 89 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,600 So if you're in the market for fake plants, go to estate sales. 90 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,440 They have Primo's fake plants for pennies on the dollar. 91 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,880 And this day, this estate sale was doing 25% off everything. 92 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,560 So it makes me think if I went there on a Friday, they probably 93 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,320 had the first day was either Wednesday or Thursday. 94 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,080 So they didn't have a ton of things leftover. 95 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,440 But for it to be 25% off, they were really trying to get 96 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,200 everything out of the house that weekend. 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,280 So I thought, OK, well, I'll walk around. 98 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:30,480 I'll see what they have. Really nice neighborhood, like 99 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,520 upscale neighborhoods. I'm like cool, I'm I'm probably 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,080 going to find something. I did find fake plants, however, 101 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,600 I don't really have a home for the fake plants in my current 102 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,680 house, so I didn't buy those, but I'm kind of kicking myself 103 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,800 but also kind of not. Anyway, fake plants are great. 104 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,560 They had the the people that used to live in the house were 105 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,120 named Mary Ann and Phil because they had a lot of dishes that 106 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,040 were like Phil's barbecue and Mary Ann's appetizers. 107 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,720 And I was like, OK, I know their names now, but they both of them 108 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,800 have passed. Their family is going through 109 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,000 the process of cleaning out the house, probably getting it ready 110 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,680 to go on the market. But as I'm walking through the 111 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,840 house, there was a couple things that caught my eye. 112 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,880 One, this couple love doing puzzles, loved doing puzzles. 113 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,800 And they probably had framed at least 30 puzzles throughout the 114 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,920 house. Wow. 115 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,120 And not really like I like I love puzzles, but I like doing 116 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,520 them then breaking them up and putting back them box and giving 117 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,080 it to somebody else for them to do later. 118 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,800 I don't really feel the need to like not only do the puzzle, but 119 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,120 then like shellac. It remember rate the fact that I 120 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:50,000 I did this. And then have a puzzle hanging 121 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,040 up in almost every single room of a massive house. 122 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,000 It is kind of, it feels like the difference between catch and 123 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,240 release and mounting the fish. You know, it's like I, I 124 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,960 appreciate this experience and now it's for someone else to 125 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,040 enjoy versus. All right, you need to know I 126 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,320 did this. Yeah. 127 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,880 It's which? I mean, I, I've heard of that, 128 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,200 like people framing the puzzles, especially when it's a really 129 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,520 beautiful piece of art or something like that. 130 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,520 Yeah, yeah. But some of these weren't. 131 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,280 But also. Hey, they were 25% off. 132 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,120 So if you needed, if you needed artwork for, you know, maybe 133 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,840 your first home, an apartment, your first apartment for maybe 134 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,240 AC rated movie like no, like anyway, I don't know what C 135 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,360 rated. Is yeah, I don't know. 136 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,320 I wasn't going to ask. It sounds like it's the other 137 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,800 rating system for people that are cooler than you. 138 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,200 Yeah. Anyway, Elaine, movie there. 139 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,160 Well, I said it anyway. I didn't buy the framed puzzles. 140 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,120 So for people that are not familiar with estate sales, I 141 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,880 learned this from our parents. The way you attack an estate 142 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,000 cell is that you first go to the garage because they usually have 143 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880 some tools, good equipment in there, stuff like that. 144 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,000 I will say they had quite a few tools in good condition. 145 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,360 Some of it was still brand new. So again, everything was priced 146 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,720 to sell and price to move. So like if I was in the market 147 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,960 for it, it was a good place to go. 148 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,360 And then the second place was to the backyard because the 149 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,520 backyard is where they usually have planter's pots. 150 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,200 And if you've ever bought a brand new planter's pot, just go 151 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,960 and take out a second loan like it is. 152 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,120 They're so expensive, especially the large ones like the 153 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,920 oversized planter pots. People are wanting $200 for 154 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,800 that. What in this economy, right? 155 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:58,840 So they had a couple of very large container of planter pots 156 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,360 that I would have loved to have had, but I'm not ready for them 157 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,920 yet so I would have had to store. 158 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,600 Them When you say you're not ready for planter's pots, is 159 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,720 this an emotional thing? For you, Yeah. 160 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,440 I'm not emotionally ready. No, I'm going to end up, I'm 161 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,080 going to end up redoing our side yard and I want to put planer 162 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,640 spots out there. OK. 163 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,840 And I'm not ready to do the side yard yet so then it turns into 164 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,320 OK once I take their stuff. Then I have to figure out where 165 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,440 to store it. OK. 166 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Yeah, you're right. You're right. 167 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:34,280 That is kind of part of the the old logistics of this wild game 168 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,480 of second hand that we talked about like, oh that's a good 169 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:45,120 deal is like the savings I could achieved right now worth the 170 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880 logistic nightmare that it says Nepal. 171 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,440 OK, no, that's cool. Yeah. 172 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,560 Well, and it it's also because I've been going to a lot of 173 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,840 estate sales, they have planter pots at every single estate 174 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,920 sale.

Also, I think you and I have 188 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,880 talked about it, if you're ever in that in the market for a new 189 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,760 house, going to an estate sale in the neighborhood you want to 190 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,840 go to, it's a great way to see a house layout before that gets 191 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,000 staged and before people start making offers on it. 192 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,680 So the things that I did buy stuff from this estate sale and 193 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:11,200 I did spend a small fortune. So they had, I went into the 194 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,160 master closet and in the master closet they had some men's 195 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,280 clothes, some women's clothes, not really the style that I like 196 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,840 or even the site. I don't even know if they were 197 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,760 the sizes that I wear. However, they had and I, and 198 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,360 I've noticed I've started picking these up more and more. 199 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:34,440 They had vintage scarves. And so I started, I went through 200 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,240 the pile. I was searching up the ones I 201 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,120 could find but also I'm not buying them to resell, I'm 202 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:48,280 buying them because I like them. So I bought 4 scarves and one 203 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,280 handkerchief. So the scarves were they're all 204 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,160 vintage. They're all really pretty and I 205 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,960 want to wear them so like they're my style. 206 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,560 But if I ever decide to sell them, there is a market for 207 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:05,880 these vintage scarves and some of them are like oversized 208 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,280 scarves. So there's different ways that 209 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,520 you can wear it and. You could sell them to Winnie 210 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,600 Kravitz, yeah. Oh man, if I had a mesh shirt 211 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,760 collection he would purchase the whole thing. 212 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,760 Not the whole thing, just the meshy parts. 213 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,760 Anyway, the the handkerchief, it was definitely the man's 214 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,680 handkerchief. But the thing about this 215 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:29,720 handkerchief, it was silk. I'm sorry, may I ask? 216 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,880 Yeah, you're, you're talking about the handkerchief. 217 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,440 Yes. And in talking about the 218 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,440 handkerchief, you point out like it was clearly the man's 219 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,320 handkerchief. I wonder if you could explain 220 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,680 how it was clear to you that this was a man's handkerchief? 221 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:50,200 Because based off of the lady's wardrobe and the other scarves 222 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,560 and everything, it wasn't like her color. 223 00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,160 It was more of the man's color. It was that like a it's a off 224 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,760 white with a a brown embroidery around it. 225 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,120 OK, I wasn't sure. I, I wasn't sure if there was 226 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,000 just like, you know, like. His and hers. 227 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,200 Right. Or like, you know, they were 228 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:13,280 like sports stats, you know, sewed into the handkerchief or 229 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,640 something like that. I wasn't sure. 230 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,920 No, no. But I do travel with 231 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,280 handkerchiefs.

So, so you're not like 253 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,520 slobbering down your face and all that stuff. 254 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,680 It's nice to have and it makes me feel better than other 255 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,760 people. There, I said it. 256 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,280 I like having handkerchiefs. Anyway, I bought this one. 257 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,040 It's it's a silk handkerchief. It's a beautiful handkerchief. 258 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,720 So like I keep it in my travel stuff. 259 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,320 So it's with me all the time. So I bought these scarves. 260 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,000 They were each each of them with the discount $4. 261 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,600 Oh, that's pretty cheap for a handkerchief. 262 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,480 Well, but the scarves, so they were so they included the 263 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,600 handkerchief in with the scarves. 264 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,880 The scarves were each $5 and then with that 25% off there 265 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,400 were 4 bucks so. Help me mask that. 266 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,240 How much did you pay total? $20. 267 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,280 For. For the four scarves and the one 268 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,520 handkerchief. That's not bad. 269 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,200 Yeah, no, it was good. And again, I did look up one of 270 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,560 these scarves. Like I said, they're all 271 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,880 vintage. If I wanted to resell it, it 272 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,680 would resell for $60.00. No, totally, yeah. 273 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,800 But I didn't buy it to resell it. 274 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,160 I'd buy it because I like it and I'm going to wear it. 275 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,640 The thing and the next thing I bought, which I had been in the 276 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,440 market for and I just didn't want to go spend an ungodly 277 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,760 amount of money, was a certain size curling iron. 278 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:02,800 So I was looking for 1 1/2 inch diameter curling iron to buy a 279 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,840 brand new one. You're looking at least. 280 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,120 Yeah. My, my current, the same size 281 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,840 curling iron that I have it, it wasn't heating up as well 282 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,080 anymore. There's something wrong in the 283 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,440 electronics. I've had it for 20-30 years, 284 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,040 like I've had it for a very long time. 285 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,880 And I thought, OK, well, I just need to get another one. 286 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,840 And it was one of those things I like dragging my feet if I 287 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,760 didn't want to. And I'll just, you know, I'll 288 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,920 just keep using this thing that doesn't work that well. 289 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,760 It's probably going to catch the house on fire. 290 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120 It's going to like ruin my hair someday or you know, something 291 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,480 like that. I found one at this estate sells 292 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,880 same size. It's a newer model than the one 293 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,320 that I currently have. I bought it for $8. 294 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,120 Nice. I was so excited and I did ask 295 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,120 the state sell people and like, does this work? 296 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,120 And the lady looked at me. She goes, you're welcome to plug 297 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,760 it in. We've been told that everything 298 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,240 works, but we didn't personally go through and check everything. 299 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,280 Oh, did you do it? Did you go and like find an 300 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,440 outlet and. Yeah, because I was, It was in 301 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,400 the bathroom. It was in the bathroom. 302 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,839 And so I plugged it into the wall and I turned it on and 303 00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,240 nothing happens. Sure, You got to wait for it, 304 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,560 right? It's old, you know. 305 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,599 Well, it's not that old. Like it's still like it was 306 00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,440 probably manufactured in the last 10 years. 307 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,640 And I'm like, oh man, like this one doesn't work and that. 308 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,960 And I was like wait a minute and I reached over and hit the 309 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,480 GFGFCG the reset button in the wall and guess what? 310 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,840 It worked magically. There you go. 311 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,520 And it heated up very fast. So anyway, I got a really cool 312 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,440 curling iron. Now this next item that I am 313 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,880 going to tell you I bought. I bought it as a gift for our 314 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,680 mother. Well, should you not talk about 315 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,520 it because she might be one of our 4 listeners. 316 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,400 Now I'm going to talk about it. She she kind of knows that I got 317 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,440 her something, but she doesn't know all the details of it. 318 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,760 So mom, if you're listening to this, turn off the podcast. 319 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,840 Right now. Yeah, Mom. 320 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:16,800 Jeez, mom. So I bought a fur coat and it is 321 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:22,160 a vintage fur coat. It has it's from a a store in 322 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,280 New Jersey. That store is no longer 323 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,720 operating, but it's authentic. It's from this place in New 324 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,440 Jersey that used to shell out fur coats for decades that 325 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,640 closed in the late 90s. And this coat also has a high 326 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,800 resale value. So if mom doesn't care for this 327 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,160 coat, if I don't want to keep the coat, I could turn around 328 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,560 and make $200 easily on this coat. 329 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,680 The interesting thing about and I don't know what kind of animal 330 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,160 it came from, and people are like, you bought real fur. 331 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,000 I'm like, yeah. Oh yeah, this. 332 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:03,440 You had texted me that you had bought a fur coat and I asked 333 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,960 whether it was real or fake and you said real and I called you a 334 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,160 murderer. Yeah, yeah, but I'm a second 335 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,920 hand murderer. You're right. 336 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,280 Yeah. It's like, look, what is can you 337 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,440 really desecrate A corpse, Right. 338 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,960 You know, it's, it's just a thing. 339 00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:25,120 I'm essentially buying. I'm essentially buying. 340 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,120 You know you can. I'm essentially I'm essentially 341 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:35,600 buying a wearable taxidermy. Yeah. 342 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:40,840 That's all it is. The animal died decades ago. 343 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,160 Time ago, right? It like probably the fur that, 344 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,000 you know, the fur that that's on that jacket probably predated 345 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,560 PETA. So you're cool. 346 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,480 Yeah. I mean, this is from like an 347 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,520 animal that's probably long extinct. 348 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,000 It's. Honestly the animal was probably 349 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,400 an asshole so it's OK. Totally an asshole. 350 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,800 Yeah. The interesting thing about this 351 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,440 jacket, because, again, we live in Texas. 352 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,000 Why do you need a fur coat?

No one's going to be looking at 365 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,640 it anyway. But but I thought it was such a 366 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,920 cool coat.

So have you done enough research 372 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,880 to know what this thing would kind of go for? 373 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,800 It could go for anywhere between 400 and $600.00 if I wanted to 374 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,400 resell it. And here's The thing is I have a 375 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,840 friend that she sells vintage clothing and she does specialize 376 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,600 in some fur coats. If I really wanted to resell it, 377 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,200 I could work with her because she has the audience and she has 378 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,360 the market for it. Give her cut of the Commission 379 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,200 and then I could still make money off of it. 380 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,960 Wow. You know what? 381 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,160 You could sell the and you could sell the sleeves at a different 382 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,960 time, you know?

That's right. 416 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,760 Like am I supposed to turn away someone's generosity? 417 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,920 I don't know if Jesus would do that. 418 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,480 So here's the thing too, I don't know if you realize this, but 419 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:02,160 our our immediate family, mom, our brother Richie, our extended 420 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,200 family, all that stuff we don't do, we usually don't do 421 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,680 Christmas together because I thought you. 422 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,880 Were going to say we don't tie but generally don't support the 423 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,040 church. We don't usually spend Christmas 424 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:22,560 together and so yours is a little bit different because we 425 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,360 do an episode around a gift exchange with a second hand item 426 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,560 for everyone else in our family. I don't shop for them until 427 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,160 after Christmas. Like, I go for the bargain, I go 428 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,080 for the coupons, I go for the discounts. 429 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,440 And then also whenever I have the time, I go second hand 430 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,600 shopping, thrift stores, estate sales. 431 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:45,400 So only, you know, for I didn't buy mom a gift yet. 432 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,880 So like whenever I found that fur coat, I was like, she needed 433 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,360 something for Christmas. So perfect. 434 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,880 Well, fantastic. I'm, I'm really excited to see 435 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,800 like I want to see like, like mom's going to just have like 1 436 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,720 sleeve off the things so she can show off the new, you know, 437 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,160 shoulder tattoo. Yeah, that'd be cool. 438 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,680 Yeah, she can totally do that. Like I want a mom to have a mom 439 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,240 tattoo. Very nice. 440 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,600 What if mom had AU tattoo? Whoa. 441 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:16,600 Me. It says me, right? 442 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,400 Whoa. But anyway, it was, it was a 443 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,760 really good estate sale. It's fun to go in and peruse 444 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,000 everything. I will say it's something I I'm 445 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,840 kind of kicking myself for not buying and I wish I had, but 446 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,240 also for people that like to go estate selling, if you're 447 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,240 looking for some really good quality, but at a discount. 448 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,480 Christmas ornaments. So this estate sale had a bunch 449 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,240 of Christmas ornaments. They were asking with the 450 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,800 discount. It was $8 per bag and I felt 451 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000 like, but I could get them cheaper. 452 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,120 However, I can't. And again, it went back to if I 453 00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:58,720 bought these, I'd have to get rid of my other ornaments 454 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,560 because again, storage. And so I ended up not buying 455 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,080 them. But now I'm kicking myself. 456 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,480 I'm like maybe the next estate sell it is. 457 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,960 Kind of funny you, you go around what, what feels like kind of 458 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,560 the go to place for a lot of people lately for Christmas 459 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,360 decorations is Home Depot and Lowe's. 460 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,360 But like the the the thing everybody's trying to achieve 461 00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:22,760 now is a vintage look. Yeah. 462 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,720 And so by the genuine item, you're getting it boring. 463 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,440 Much better prize. The these were not vintage they 464 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,960 were newer ornaments but they had probably 5 bags of gold 465 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,040 ornaments and I have a white Christmas tree so like it would 466 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,240 have been pretty with a gold and white Christmas tree for next 467 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,640 year but I didn't buy them so I won't be having gold and white. 468 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,920 Damn, you almost batted 1000, Julie. 469 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,720 I know, I know, I'd spent a lot of money on a fur coat, so I 470 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,760 held back on the ornaments. Yeah, I, I don't think they saw 471 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,000 any. I don't think they saw you 472 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,280 coming. I don't think they saw anybody 473 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,400 like buying that fur coat. So way to blow the moments. 474 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,120 One of the estate sale ladies said that there's going to be 475 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,040 two young girls that were going to be sad that the that the colt 476 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,760 that the coat sold and I think it was the the ladies like 477 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,680 grandchildren that wanted it or great grandchildren. 478 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,760 That's cool. The family put it in the state 479 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,520 cell for a reason. Or maybe she was just referring 480 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,200 to two kids that wanted to sneak into an R rated movie, you know? 481 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,280 Oh no, it was 3 raccoons.
