00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,920
haggles. 
You won't believe the stories 

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,040
we've got lined up. 
Let's get unhinged. 

9
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,320
So I'd like to commend you one 
like you're, you're sticking 

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,320
with it. 
You're doing the podcast thing 

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:36,120
even though you don't feel 100%.
You know, I mean, if it required

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,440
me to be 100% to do anything in 
my life, I'd probably do 

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,560
nothing. 
Yeah, I will say. 

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,640
So we're recording on a weekend,
even though this comes out on 

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,720
Tuesdays. 
I did ask my husband very 

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,960
lovingly this morning through my
raspy voice. 

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,280
You know what? 
I don't know how I sound coming 

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520
across, but is this now like a 
900 number podcast? 

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Right. 
Also, for the kids out there, 

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,960
ask your parents what a 900 
number is. 

21
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,000
That'll be a fun family 
conversation. 

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,640
Yeah, make sure you ask with mom
in the room that. 

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,520
'D be cool or even better with 
grandpa in the room. 

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,640
You sound no different. 
You you sound the same. 

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,880
OK, well then maybe it's just 
the maybe my ears are muffled, I

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,880
don't know. 
But I asked my husband this 

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,440
morning in a very loving voice, 
can we flush out the hot water 

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,160
heater today? 
Because our hot water heaters 

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,760
been making little pinging 
noises. 

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,600
And that's a clear sign that it 
needs to be flushed and all 

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,760
that. 
And he and I both travel quite a

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,080
bit. 
And it is one of the things in 

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,280
the back of my mind that and 
like whenever I'm traveling, I'm

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,280
like, I mean, what if the hot 
water heater floods the house 

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,160
and our hot water heaters in the
house? 

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,520
So he did do it today. 
And whenever I said, Hey, can we

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,520
do it, he took it as the royal 
we and he did it. 

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,280
So I'm, I'm very thankful to him
for doing it. 

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,000
But we've been in our house for,
Oh my gosh, eight years now, and

40
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:12,120
this is the first time that 
we've ever flushed the hot water

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,720
heater. 
So the ownership is. 

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,280
Fantastic. 
Is that bad? 

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,960
Are you supposed? 
How often are you supposed to do

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,680
that? 
I don't know. 

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,600
Let me let me ask the Internet. 
Now I'm really worried. 

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,240
Let's see, it says oh, at least 
once a year. 

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,960
Oh wow. 
OK. 

48
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,280
It says if you have hard water, 
live in a high mineral area or 

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,600
have a large household, experts 
recommend flushing every six 

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,080
months. 
Yeah, I see. 

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Yeah, anyway, you know. 
Once a year. 

52
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,800
Once every eight years. 
You know, you're not the worst. 

53
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,520
You know, there's people out 
there that you know, they're 

54
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,280
like, oh, I'll when they flush 
it out, there's like, you know, 

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,480
old, an old prospector skeleton 
comes out of there. 

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,520
Yeah. 
Oh, my thing was is, you know, 

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,240
we were on the cusp of like, 
man, that thing's making a lot 

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,640
of noise. 
And it was like, well, is it a 

59
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:22,440
simple a solution of just, you 
know, flushing it out, or do we 

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,080
need to get a new hot water 
heater? 

61
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,400
So fingers crossed, you know an 
hour out of the weekend, fix the

62
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,960
issue and now we won't have to 
worry about it and not have to 

63
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,800
add one more thing to the list 
of things that we have replaced 

64
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400
in this house. 
So that's the the whole deal 

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,960
where you when you're flushing a
hot water heater, you got to 

66
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,480
hook up a a garden hose to it. 
Yeah. 

67
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,000
And run it out. 
So did I mean, I know you guys 

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,640
have a pool. 
Did you just like stick it in 

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,480
the pool? 
That'd be that'd be fun. 

70
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,640
I think that was my husband's 
initial intention because he was

71
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,640
going to run the water hose 
underneath our bed, through the 

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,280
hallway down to where our hot 
water closet is. 

73
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Sounded like sounded like it's 
turning into a home alone trap. 

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,600
You know, Oh yes, it would have.
And whenever I got my Home 

75
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,600
Office renovated, we actually 
put in French doors that got to 

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,360
our side yard. 
And I walked into our bedroom 

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,760
whenever he was trying to crawl 
underneath the bed to like feed 

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,400
the water hose through. 
And it's like, no, no, no, no, 

79
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,040
no, just have it dump out into 
the side yard. 

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,680
And because I think he intended 
to just have the water dump into

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,200
the pool that we just, we let 
it. 

82
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,080
That's a really bad idea. 
Don't. 

83
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,640
Yeah. 
And I'm glad, I'm glad we did it

84
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920
through the side yard because 
there wasn't, you know, rusty 

85
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,640
mineral colored water that came 
out of the hose. 

86
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,320
But anyway, so the the yard got 
water in minerals. 

87
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,760
So like, no, we had, we had a 
you and I were talking about 

88
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,440
planning to record and I had 
mentioned, oh, hey, you know, 

89
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,200
the timing might really work out
because I've, I've got my eye on

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,000
an online auction that earlier 
today their website said started

91
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,560
closing at 3 and I pulled it up 
and now it says 7. 

92
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,760
Yeah. 
And rather than me like walk you

93
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,840
through the auction as I'm doing
it live, I'll just instead kind 

94
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:21,240
of talk a little bit about the 
the items that I saved to my 

95
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,920
watch list. 
Well, OK, hold on. 

96
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,840
Before you do that, this Jake 
texted me this morning and said,

97
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:29,560
hey, there's this live auction 
that I want to do and all I said

98
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,080
will send me the link of it. 
I'm also bidding on stuff. 

99
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,880
So as you're talking about 
things, I want to know if we're 

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,080
bidding against each other. 
You bastard. 

101
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,680
The other thing is too like the 
logistics of this, if you do win

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,680
the auction for your item, they 
have set times tomorrow. 

103
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,680
So tomorrow which is Monday, and
then the next day which is 

104
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,520
Tuesday to go pick up your items
during set hours. 

105
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,680
That's going to be so confusing 
to anybody listening to this on 

106
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,560
a Tuesday. 
Just know it's supposed to be 

107
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,800
like on a Monday and Tuesday 
when you go pick up your items 

108
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,160
and the place for to go pick it 
up, it's about an hour and a 

109
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,280
half away from me and the items 
that I'm bidding on are not that

110
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:14,920
expensive. 
And so I'm like, man, I hope 

111
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,120
Jacob wins because then he can 
just pick up my items. 

112
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,120
Yeah, well, you can help me out,
you know. 

113
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,920
Yeah, I'll, I'll Jacob, I'll 
grease, I'll grease your palm. 

114
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Like go pick up my stuff. 
There you go. 

115
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,880
You know it's a cool sight. 
I I was really struggling with 

116
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,520
this. 
I don't know, you know when you 

117
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,160
find a honey hole, You know when
you find, oh man, this is where 

118
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,800
the juice is. 
This is where the action is. 

119
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,360
This is where it's at. 
Do you tell other people and 

120
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,800
other people start showing up 
and ruining the fun? 

121
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,400
Because like, I'm worried about 
airing this, this website and 

122
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,720
other people are going to, I'm 
not going to be able to like get

123
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,360
my, my, my Tom Jones records, 
you know? 

124
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:03,160
Well, OK, so let's let's talk 
about some of the stuff that's 

125
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,120
in this auction because to your 
point, if there was some really 

126
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,280
very cool things that are like 
constant collectibles or high 

127
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,800
value things, then yeah, you 
might want to keep that to 

128
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,320
yourself. 
However, whenever I first got in

129
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,160
here, there's like 4 rolls of 
gorilla waterproof patch and 

130
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,080
sill tape. 
Yeah, unopened. 

131
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:31,120
Unopened there are there's new 6
can case of Zevo wasp insect 

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,880
killer. 
So as I'm looking at some of 

133
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,640
these lots that are in this 
auction, you know, it would be 

134
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,520
ideal for a small business that 
needs those types of things or 

135
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,640
someone who's a reseller in the 
material supply industry. 

136
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Like, you know, you can get some
good bargains at these auctions.

137
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,200
But to your point, Jake and I 
and I kind of have a guess of 

138
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,920
what items you're bidding on. 
They'll be good. 

139
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Let's do that. 
Yeah. 

140
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,120
Go on please. 
I, I, yeah, some of the stuff is

141
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,560
like industrial supply stuff and
I'm like share it with folks. 

142
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,720
I'm not, I'm not competing for 
that stuff. 

143
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,360
However, the things I think you 
are bidding on. 

144
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Now, Matt, before you get to 
that, because I really like 

145
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,160
where you're going to go here, a
little bit more about the 

146
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,800
auctions at this place. 
So there's different auction 

147
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,120
houses that list their stuff on 
this website entirely online. 

148
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:43,039
You can bid any time and you can
save items to a watch list so 

149
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,320
that, you know, this is my 
curated list. 

150
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,680
I don't have to look at all the 
other stuff. 

151
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,080
Different auction houses, man. 
Like sometimes it's an actual 

152
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,160
estate sale for a house. 
There was one such last week in 

153
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,160
a town that is, you know, an 
hour and a half from me, like in

154
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,720
the middle of nowhere. 
And the pickup would have been 

155
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920
during the work week. 
Can't do that. 

156
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,240
And it's a shame because it was 
a an auction, it was a, an 

157
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,200
estate sale and so much in the 
house was genuine mid century 

158
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,960
Modern furniture, lighting, way 
cool stuff. 

159
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,840
And even to the point that they 
said, OK, you know, like, like 

160
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,680
genuinely everything in the 
house had to go. 

161
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,480
And then the very last item on 
on the site was the house 

162
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,240
itself. 
Oh. 

163
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,280
And they said, you know, like 
you can, you can technically buy

164
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:47,160
the house like we're keeping the
land if you want to, you know, 

165
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,720
make a bit. 
But I think at the time it was 

166
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,600
like $10,000. 
You can bring your trailer, try 

167
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,560
to move it, or you can just buy 
all of the materials the house 

168
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:02,200
is made of and take as much as 
you want. 

169
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,720
Anything you don't you don't 
want leave, we'll get rid of it.

170
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,440
That's interesting it. 
Was crazy. 

171
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,200
So there's some of that and 
yeah, there's some other stuff 

172
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,600
where like these these auction 
houses, it's kind of like 

173
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,600
storage wars. 
They go and they they buy a 

174
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,280
storage unit. 
They'd have no idea what's 

175
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,840
inside whatever's inside. 
That's what shows up on this 

176
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,680
auction site. 
Yeah. 

177
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,840
So that's what I think this is 
you're seeing. 

178
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,200
Yeah, like this. 
A lot of the stuff in there seem

179
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720
to have belonged to some 
contractor, and that's why 

180
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,000
you've got a, you know, 8 a lot 
of eight rolls of Gorilla tape, 

181
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,720
Yeah. 
And 16 pairs of leather gloves 

182
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,640
and painters, coveralls by the 
box and everything like that. 

183
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,000
So you never know. 
Are you planning a garage sale, 

184
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,480

190
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,920
Well, can I can I guess what one
of the items are that you're 

191
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,000
bidding on? 
OK, do you want me to say the 

192
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,720
lot number or you want me to 
describe what the item is? 

193
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,720
Describe it. 
Describe. 

194
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,800
So Julie, wait. 
So you're taking what you you're

195
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,600
deducing. 
You know, your powers of 

196
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:44,480
deduction are on display here, 
what you know of me and you're 

197
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,720
reading from that what items I 
might be bidding on. 

198
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,600
Yes. 
So this is going to be pretty 

199
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,000
revealing already a pretty good 
handle on who you think I am 

200
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,040
when we we are siblings. 
So you're probably going to, 

201
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680
you're probably going to kill at
this, so. 

202
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,520
I hope so. 
So I'm looking at a large 

203
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,360
vintage Lucite. 
Great cluster. 

204
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,760
Did I get it right? 
No, why would you think I'd want

205
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,240
that? 
Because it's vintage and like, 

206
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,680
and you have, I'm going to say 
like a mid century modern ranch 

207
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:31,200
style house and it screams mid 
century modern ranch style. 

208
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,200
You know, I, I will give you 
credit, there have been previous

209
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,920
auctions where I have grabbed 
stuff like that because it works

210
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,040
for the house, you know, it, it 
looks like. 

211
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,480
There you go. 
Yeah, but no, don't have my, I 

212
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,560
don't have my eye on that bunch.
Oh, grapes, man. 

213
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,680
Not a not the strongest start 
from Julie. 

214
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,400
Well, OK, so all of my, all my 
guesses are going to be the 

215
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,480
vintage like the core things. 
Are any of those right? 

216
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,640
Let me look through them. 
I'm like looking at my watch 

217
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,520
list right now. 
So so this is my first time 

218
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,760
using the auction house and I 
have a watch list going to. 

219
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,440
How do I find my watch list? 
Go to the top and click on watch

220
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
list. 
So Julie said that there's two 

221
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,320
websites, you know, on a 
previous episode, and she's kind

222
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,160
of proving out that she really 
does believe that. 

223
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,040
If only there were true. 
I think things will be better. 

224
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,200
OK, well apparently so. 
Are any of your items any of the

225
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,120
decor things? 
Only only one thing was 

226
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,200
considered. 
I wouldn't say vintage. 

227
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,960
It's listed as retro. 
Oh. 

228
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,320
Is it 1 of? 
Is it one of the like glass 

229
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,600
decor things like OK, well, I'm 
going to, I'm going to man, I'm 

230
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,840
I'm faltering. 
What are you bidding on? 

231
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,040
Well, I've got my eye on I'm not
going to bid until it's closer 

232
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,120
to closing because if you start 
bidding now, you're just driving

233
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,960
up the price and then what are 
you doing? 

234
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,800
What are you doing? 
You bet you bidding against 

235
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,240
yourself. 
Like you wait until the last 

236
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880
five minutes to see what the 
price is and then you start 

237
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,960
bidding. 
OK, well, I'm an amateur because

238
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,600
I've already bid on some things.
Yeah, don't do that. 

239
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,880
Don't do that. 
You wait until the last because 

240
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,840
what's it what's the timer on 
these items clicks down to 5 

241
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,840
minutes. 
Any bid that comes in resets the

242
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,440
clock to 5 minutes. 
Oh. 

243
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,040
And as long as people are 
bidding, that clock keeps 

244
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,200
resetting. 
Oh, so even if the cell ends at 

245
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,840
like 7:00 tonight, it'll still 
keep going if people are 

246
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,680
bidding? 
Yep. 

247
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,440
Oh that sucks. 
OK like I got to go to bed and 

248
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,720
also I'm sick so I've been 
taking Nyquil. 

249
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,400
I am. 
This is for. 

250
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,240
Sure, going to bed early. 
You've heard of drunk shopping, 

251
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,400
you know. 
Wait until he has medicated 

252
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,920
shopping. 
OK. 

253
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,080
So tell me what you're bidding 
on it or do you want to guess 

254
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,040
what I'm bidding on? 
Then let me I'm going to look at

255
00:14:54,040 --> 00:15:01,320
the full full list of stuff. 
And also for, for people that 

256
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,480
are listening, this auction has,
it's like if you're looking at 

257
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,480
25 items per page, there's like 
5 or 6 pages. 

258
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,920
So if that gives you, there's a 
couple of 100 items in this 

259
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,320
singular auction that's going on
right now. 

260
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,160
You know, from your comment 
earlier you didn't seem very 

261
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,840
impressed by the gorilla tape. 
Thought about it. 

262
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,720
I've man, like I don't think 
you're interested in like any of

263
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,120
like the contractor stuff. 
Hey, you know, I think you could

264
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,200
go for some snow boots. 
I think that is really kind of 

265
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,360
up your alley. 
What size shoe do I wear Jacob? 

266
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,760
You know, you'd be shocked, but 
I don't know that. 

267
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,520
What size are those snow boots? 
They're size 10. 

268
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Moving on. 
So there's some stuff on here I 

269
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,360
don't even know what it is. 
What is a? 

270
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,680
What is a? 
So there's a lot of 12 safety 

271
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,880
sleeves. 
Is this a welding thing? 

272
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,280
Man? 
Like it. 

273
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,840
It'd be really great audio to 
listen to me scroll through all 

274
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,640
these things. 
Sorry, holding safety sleeves, 

275
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,120
yes you're mainly going to wear 
them in on a construction site 

276
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,160
welding. 
But I'm also like could be for 

277
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,880
cooking bacon, I don't know. 
Right. 

278
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,640
I mean, it could just be a 
fashion thing. 

279
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,360
You could totally buy those 
safety sleeves because there's 

280
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,000
multiple in that, in that box, 
in that lot. 

281
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,320
They couldn't just give them out
to friends as bacon sleeves. 

282
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,400
Bacon sleeves. 
Oh man, that's going to really 

283
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,520
upset people if you can't eat it
though, you know, and call it 

284
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,640
that. 
OK, bacon cooking sleeves. 

285
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,760
There you go. 
Speaking of which, my husband 

286
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,960
said he was going to cook bacon 
today and he hasn't done that. 

287
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Listen, the man drained the 
water heater. 

288
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,680
What else do you want? 
Bacon. 

289
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,120
Yeah, that makes sense. 
I am looking I've I've scrolled 

290
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,120
down and I've come across the 
Lucite grape cluster that is 

291
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,320
pretty tempting to. 
See, I I saw that and I was like

292
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,400
Jacob's bedding on that one. 
I don't know where I'd put it. 

293
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,440
In your Grape Hole. 
It's in an anatomy book, kids. 

294
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,640
Look it up. 
So I don't know, I I really 

295
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,839
couldn't even venture a guess. 
Julie, what are what are you 

296
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:14,880
going to, what have your eye on?
OK, how many items are you 

297
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,839
watching? 
Oh, maybe like half a dozen. 

298
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,880
OK, well, I'm only watching. 
Well, I'm only bidding on three.

299
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,760
Are you? 
Are you ready for this? 

300
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:29,880
Yeah, I'm ready for this. 
One it's the lot is a new mini 

301
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,480
projector. 
OK. 

302
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,160
So the box of it, it shows it 
like it would be an outdoor 

303
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,600
projector that you would be able
to stream a show, a movie, 

304
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,240
something on the outdoor. 
And I think you, and I've talked

305
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,800
about this before, I want a 
projector so I can paint murals 

306
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:55,120
on walls in my house. 
However, like it's kind of a for

307
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:56,960
people that don't know what this
is like you can take a 

308
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,120
projector, put up a, an image 
that you want to put on a wall 

309
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,040
or a piece of paper or something
like that. 

310
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,000
And it's almost like you, you 
sketch it out, you, you just 

311
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,520
follow the lines and then it's a
paint in the number type thing. 

312
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,920
Like at by the end of it, I'm 
like, oh, that looks really 

313
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,040
good. 
I'm not an artist, but I can 

314
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,600
make that work as long as I have
a go buy something. 

315
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,440
So I'm watching that right now. 
Hopefully I'll get it. 

316
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:30,520
The second item I'm watching 
it's a telescope kit and I have 

317
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,520
a similar telescope to what they
are showing on here. 

318
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,480
I may have the same exact 
telescope. 

319
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,880
However, we have some friends 
that they have a beautiful 

320
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,600
property West of where I live. 
It's out in the middle of 

321
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,120
nowhere. 
They have you can see all sorts 

322
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,800
of stars at night and all that 
stuff. 

323
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:50,480
And there's times where I'm 
like, I should have brought my 

324
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,920
telescope out here to look at 
stars, moon, whatever. 

325
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,640
And I thought, well, if I buy 
this telescope, and for people 

326
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,200
that are curious, right now I'm 
the high bidder at $7.00. 

327
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,240
But if I can get this telescope,
that is something I can take out

328
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,200
to their property and leave 
there. 

329
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,520
So anyone can enjoy the 
telescope if they know how to 

330
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,600
use it. 
You know, the really fun thing 

331
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,600
is you, you some of these items,
there's enough information that 

332
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,240
you could look it up. 
Yeah. 

333
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,320
And see what this would go for 
retail. 

334
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,280
Yeah, there's AI mean of all the
lots on there. 

335
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,400
I mean, I think all the lots you
could probably turn around, 

336
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,480
resell it and make a substantial
markup on it. 

337
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,080
These are also I'm only betting 
on things that I would actually 

338
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:35,960
want to use. 
Right. 

339
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,720
Totally. 
Yeah. 

340
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:44,680
And then my last thing that I'm 
looking at it's lot 359 button 

341
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,560
maker press and lot of button 
bin, so you can make your own 

342
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,080
personalized buttons. 
Like a button that you wear on 

343
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,000
your shirt. 
Yeah, like your flair. 

344
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,080
So right now I'm the high bidder
at $4.50. 

345
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Heck yeah. 
Like how would you make the like

346
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,760
design on like the button face? 
Is that part of it or just? 

347
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:11,560
So one of my friends actually 
has one of these button maker 

348
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,480
you you printed out on just 
regular prints paper and then 

349
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,200
the button has a clear coating 
snap thing. 

350
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,960
So the the button maker press is
that you put the clear like the 

351
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,360
cap on it, you put the back of 
the button on it, you put your 

352
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,520
design in the middle of it. 
And then whenever you crimp it 

353
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,760
all together, that's what the 
press is it. 

354
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,000
It forces the button all 
together. 

355
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,360
So I do a lot of speaking 
engagements. 

356
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,360
I have couple companies and like
this is a great way for me to 

357
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:43,000
create very cheap swag, very 
relevant things in the moment if

358
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,360
I wanted to create buttons and 
like the whole flare thing makes

359
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:49,760
me laugh and especially going to
conferences, people want 

360
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,920
something to put on their 
lanyards and I thought I can 

361
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,000
make something very funny in the
moments that people could wear. 

362
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,760
That, that's fantastic. 
Yeah, so. 

363
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,520
It would technically be a a 
business expense if I win it so.

364
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,560
Well, then go nuts. 
Yeah, you know, and if you 

365
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,880
don't, if it doesn't work out 
with that projector, I've got 10

366
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,320
that I mean, it's not many, I'm 
not sure how many this thing is,

367
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,720
but it'll, it does the same damn
thing and I got it through one 

368
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,080
of these auctions, so. 
Well, there, I'll just take 

369
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:30,480
yours. 
Well, reverting back to being 

370
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,040
able to bully Jake. 
You know you can borrow mine. 

371
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,000
Like, no, I'll just take yours. 
Yeah, we'll just do that. 

372
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:38,960
Yeah, I didn't say I was going 
to borrow it. 

373
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,880
Go ahead and get in this locker 
real quick, that'd be great. 

374
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:48,160
Well, and I just looked up on, 
you know, trusty Amazon of other

375
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,840
button press machines go to. 
Otherbuttonpressmachines.com. 

376
00:21:55,360 --> 00:22:00,120
You know, for the most part, 
like the heavy duty ones, you're

377
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:08,000
going to spend around $30. 
So yeah, we'll see what happens.

378
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,440
And what's the, what's the bid 
on, on this one right now? 

379
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,440
$4.50. 
Hell yeah. 

380
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,160
Yeah. 
Hell yeah. 

381
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,720
So. 
This ends up becoming like a a 

382
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,480
week, a weekend, like a Sunday 
evening thing 'cause these 

383
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,560
auctions go up generally Sunday 
evenings and got to start 

384
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,720
checking it around, you know, in
the evening and it's fine. 

385
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,680
The other thing is, too, that 
this auction house has 

386
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,600
previewing or sorry, purview 
hours that you can. 

387
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,680
Yeah, it's not a preview, it's a
purview. 

388
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,000
Oh, really? 
OK. 

389
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,040
Yeah, they have hours. 
You can go and look at all the 

390
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,880
lots. 
So like especially if you're 

391
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,760
going to be reseller, definitely
do that. 

392
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,800
But they have they have light 
bulbs, they have furniture, they

393
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,160
have all sorts of things. 
So you could go through and look

394
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,000
at all there. 
There is one lot I'm not 

395
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,440
watching. 
I it came really close to 

396
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,240
bidding on that. 
It was a set of four camo mesh 

397
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,040
hats. 
Are you bidding on that one? 

398
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,520
No, but why was that of interest
to you? 

399
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,520
Because I almost made a joke 
that you were going to bid on 

400
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,440
that. 
Wow. 

401
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,560
So I like having extra hats in 
our like we have pool supplies 

402
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,800
by our back door that goes out 
to our pool area. 

403
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,160
And I like having extra hats 
there for people that come over 

404
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,440
that want to get in the pool and
they forgot a hat because I'm 

405
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,840
all about, hey, let's not get 
sunburned and let's keep skin 

406
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,720
cancer at Bay. 
So like I like to have extra 

407
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,320
hats on hand and also the camo 
mesh. 

408
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,000
They're actually really good 
breathable hats. 

409
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,520
And so again, I can take some 
out to our friends land and 

410
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,800
leave some out there so I'm not 
having to cart hats back and 

411
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,720
forth. 
I just, you know, I had this fun

412
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,240
idea that instead, it had 
nothing to do with sun 

413
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,240
protection. 
It's just like, yeah, yeah. 

414
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,920
In our house, we take off our 
shoes and we wear hats. 

415
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,400
So go and take those off. 
Put this on. 

416
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,520
Honestly, I think my husband 
would prefer if I wore like a 

417
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,000
hairnet 'cause my hair tends to 
like shed everywhere. 

418
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,520
That'll be a pretty good bit. 
Everybody, every time somebody 

419
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,400
comes in you, they hand them a 
hat. 

420
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,120
It's just the most and it gets 
more and more, you know, like 

421
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,320
ill advised and. 
By the end of the night, 

422
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,280
someone's wearing it. 
By the end of the night, 

423
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,320
someone's wearing a Chiquita 
banana lady hat. 

424
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,280
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah. 

425
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,120
It's just customary in our 
house. 

426
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:32,880
This is what you wear. 
This is what we do. 

427
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,920
So I'm I have my eye on the 
collapsible baton. 

428
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,840
OK, hold on for me. 
Just to clarify, I know which 

429
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,920
one you're talking about. 
This is not like a baton that 

430
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,560
you throw during the halftime at
a football game. 

431
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,480
It's not shit. 
This is a police baton. 

432
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,720
Why do you need this? 
Oh, no reason. 

433
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,760
No, no reason that can be 
recorded and played back for 

434
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,360
posterity. 
Wait, so whenever I come get the

435
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:06,960
projector there you? 
Go. 

436
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,960
That's right. 
It's my sister's day. 

437
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,960
Yeah, you know what you like. 
You know what else? 

438
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,960
Telescopes. 
No. 

439
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,160
I'm also at my eye. 
I'm kind of looking at this 

440
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,360
retro mid century upholstered 
bench. 

441
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,600
Is that it's like a it's a lime 
green, yellow looking. 

442
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,400
Thing. 
Yeah, yeah. 

443
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,600
Yeah. 
It's it's cool, but that's an 

444
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,360
item. 
And this is another thing going 

445
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:38,000
on with these auctions. 
Sometimes these auction houses 

446
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,320
stuff doesn't sell or somebody 
didn't come and pick it up and 

447
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,280
it shows back up. 
This bench is one of them, but 

448
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,200
I'm probably not going to go for
it because in a previous auction

449
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,640
they had this thing and like a 
matching chair. 

450
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,760
So. 
I'm probably not going to do 

451
00:25:53,760 --> 00:26:01,720
that, but so I'm probably going 
to let that one go and that'll 

452
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,800
be OK. 
All of the my frown will turn 

453
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,480
upside down if I can get my next
item. 

454
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,440
Hold on, I want to say something
real quick about that furniture 

455
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,960
because I saw it. 
I thought it was cool. 

456
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,160
And again, to your point, hey, I
know there's a matching chair, 

457
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,280
they probably don't have the 
matching chair anymore. 

458
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,520
I will say the bench looks like 
it probably needs a little bit 

459
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,920
of work done for it. 
The the cushion seemed a little 

460
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:30,160
bit not so full anymore. 
I also wonder if that bench kind

461
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,840
of like if it folds or something
like I wonder if there's like 

462
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,320
something mechanically wrong 
with it. 

463
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,680
I don't think it's, I think it 
looks like it's one piece, but 

464
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,920
this is where you would go to 
purview day to purview length. 

465
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,280
Well, I was going to say for 
people that are furniture 

466
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,480
flippers, these auctions are a 
great source for you. 

467
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,320
If you can buy something like 
this for 5:10, 20-50 bucks, put 

468
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,720
in the the elbow grease to you 
know, refurbish it and then sell

469
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,480
it for several 100. 
If you have the space and the 

470
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,840
tools and everything to get that
done, these auctions are great 

471
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,400
for that. 
You know, maybe a different 

472
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,240
podcast episode. 
I'll, I'll show some of the OR 

473
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,160
share some of the stuff I've 
gotten from this place. 

474
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,440
It it's yeah, if, if you are in 
the business of trying to just 

475
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,320
turn it around, I'm going to buy
this thing for $8 and I'm going 

476
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,800
to listen on Facebook 
marketplace for 30 easy. 

477
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,320
So next item I'm looking at 
Julie is the Chinese Meat 

478
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,440
Cleaver with box. 
I know exactly what you're why? 

479
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,560
Why do you need that? 
I need to cleave my meat. 

480
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,280
No, you don't. 
It is that thing is also that 

481
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,000
thing looks like it's been used 
before and maybe not just in the

482
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,440
kitchen. 
It might have been like, you 

483
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:53,720
know, I don't know if it was a 
movie pro, It looks like it was 

484
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,920
the real deal. 
And it was probably chopped off 

485
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,240
some fingers, like, yeah, that 
thing was heavy duty and like 

486
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,640
means business. 
Hey, you know I have a dream of 

487
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280
opening the potato restaurant 
and this looks like it could cut

488
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,880
a potato just as well as 
anything. 

489
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,440
You know, I think they're also 
selling a sword on this auction.

490
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,360
Why don't you get a sword to cut
your potatoes? 

491
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,400
I am looking at the Cortana as 
well. 

492
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,440
I'm going I'm going full grim 
man mode. 

493
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,320
Like this is all very depressing
stuff for a guy to own, but I 

494
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,040
think it'd be hilarious to get 
one of these and the idea like 

495
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,200
the Cortana would be a gift for 
like one of our nephews or 

496
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,680
something like that. 
I think that'd. 

497
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,720
Be great, I want you to stack up
potatoes on the Cortana. 

498
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,360
Yes. 
And then gift it to somebody. 

499
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:46,880
Served up yo Jimbo style. 
But yeah, a lot of the stuff I'm

500
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,560
looking at as like potential 
gifts for others. 

501
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,560
And honestly, like there have 
been times like when it's 

502
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,280
around, you know, the holidays, 
I'm going, I'm going to do all 

503
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,440
the Christmas shopping I can do 
on this site. 

504
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,560
So I started looking at it in 
September and I just, you know, 

505
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,560
I look at it with these family 
members in mind and it's a, 

506
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,920
you'll find really unique stuff.
And even if it's not unique, 

507
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,320
you're finding it for a fraction
of what you. 

508
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,680
Jacob, you cannot tell our dad 
about the site because Dad, Dad 

509
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,600
loves a bargain. 
Our dad, like many people our 

510
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,120
age, their parents were raised 
by parents that lived through 

511
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,840
the Great Depression. 
He doesn't get rid of anything. 

512
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,840
My dad, and I say this lovingly,
is a Rat pack. 

513
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,560
No. 
What? 

514
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,000
A crooner. 
I don't know that he's really 

515
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,200
worn A seersucker suit and he 
has not been part of a Las Vegas

516
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,520
casino heist. 
He's like, no, that was part of 

517
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,520
the Rat Pack. 
Why do I work? 

518
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,000
It's. 
Our trust No, he's a pack rat. 

519
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,920
The. 
Hairline. 

520
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,800
So I, I mean, I still remember 
growing up, Dad would have empty

521
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,760
peanut butter jars in his shop 
of just random screws and nails 

522
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,720
and stuff because you never know
when you needed it and he would 

523
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,680
have it. 
But yeah, if you made him aware 

524
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:22,640
of this virtual auction site are
his entire and my parents entire

525
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,160
nesting might be gone just 
because he it's also this is the

526
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,200
thing with like auctions, it can
get very competitive and if you 

527
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,120
have a competitive or a gambling
streak, you have to know when to

528
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,840
say no and I don't know you got.
To know when to hold them and 

529
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,120
you also got to know when to 
fold them. 

530
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Yeah, I don't think our dad 
knows that limit. 

531
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,400
So but yeah, don't don't share 
this with that. 

532
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,440
You can buy a gifts for dad off 
of this but do not share this 

533
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360
website with. 
Him, you know, it's hilarious. 

534
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,680
I think in a previous episode we
did, I kind of made the offhand 

535
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,520
joke about Dad's gambling 
problem. 

536
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480
It was a joke and here you are 
reinforcing it. 

537
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,720
I mean, come on, you know, if 
there was an auction that had a 

538
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,440
lot of hunting equipment on 
there, that, yeah, everything 

539
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,160
our parents had saved would be 
gone. 

540
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,920
And that's the fun thing is like
week to week. 

541
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,400
That's a fun thing. 
Like sometimes it like they 

542
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,040
bought a storage unit that 
belonged to a hunter. 

543
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Well, but hold on, that's the 
fun thing. 

544
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,680
You can come to this auction and
go into the poor house. 

545
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,600
No, let's not. 
Let's not do this. 

546
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,960
But so no, it's, it's a fun, 
it's a fun thing to do. 

547
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,480
It is a, a different kind, a 
different way of participating 

548
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,680
in the secondary market. 
I like that. 

549
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,080
I mean, like you can go to the 
yeah, you can go to the Purview,

550
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,680
but it's, it is kind of fun to 
do it from a remove like this. 

551
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,800
And yeah, when it gets down to 
the wire that you see that clock

552
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,600
ticking down and you're the 
winning bidder and there's 28 

553
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,640
seconds left and somebody bids 
on it and you're like you, you 

554
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,520
know, you got some choice words 
for them. 

555
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,240
But I've I've I've bought 
designer handbags on this thing 

556
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,280
like legit I've. 
Never seen you wear one. 

557
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,400
Yeah, You know, it's really just
more for me, so. 

558
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,880
Well, I, I will say, you know, 
because this auction is going to

559
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,720
end this evening, I'm probably 
going to be doped up on some 

560
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,720
Nyquil and heading to Dreamland 
very soon. 

561
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,800
So we'll see if I can limit 
myself or if drugged up, Julie 

562
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,600
decides that that was a really 
good idea to spend that kind of 

563
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,400
money on a kind of a cheat 
telescope. 

564
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,640
So we'll see what happens. 
And we'll see if at the end of 

565
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,800
this thing if I'm dual wielding 
a meat cleaver and a Cortana and

566
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,920
maybe wearing a camouflage 
bucket hat. 

567
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,160
OK, Jake, this is now at the end
of the episode, so if our 

568
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,840
listeners have actually stayed 
with us this entire time, do you

569
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,720
want to share with them the name
of the site? 

570
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,680
It is Texas. 
Hold on. 

571
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,040
I lost it. 
Texas online auction house. 

572
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,000
Yeah. 
What? 

573
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,080
What's really fun about the 
site, too? 

574
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,280
You go to it and you're like, 
it's rare that you go to a a 

575
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,760
website that immediately makes 
you feel like you stepped back 

576
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,520
into the early 2000s. 
Yes, yeah, it's not, it's not 

577
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,800
fancy. 
It's not not, I'm going to say 

578
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,120
not modern, but also it does 
exactly what it needs to do. 

579
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,520
And I, I actually, I was such a 
dweeb about it. 

580
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,040
I, I went to go pick up my items
one time and I thought the 

581
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,520
people, you know, with the 
warehouse, with the stuff in it,

582
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,000
I thought it was their side. 
So I was like commending their 

583
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,720
website, but I was like, this 
thing's got no ads on it. 

584
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,280
Like, I don't know, they might 
be like two or three sites you 

585
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,920
can go to. 
They have no ads on it. 

586
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,200
And it's like, it's actually 
really great. 

587
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,200
Yeah, there's the pop ups. 
There was no autoplay videos. 

588
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,880
There was like, it was just the 
option and it was like, and then

589
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,320
you realized just how bad 
everything else had gotten. 

590
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,280
But I go to a site like there's 
no banner ads. 

591
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,040
What's happening? 
It's also probably why the site 

592
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,159
runs pretty efficiently, so 
nothing dragging it down. 

593
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:20,719
I will say because this is an 
option site that is based in 

594
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,199
Texas, one of the lots. 
I'm not watching it, but I did 

595
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:27,239
consider it. 
There's an A lot in this auction

596
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,760
that is a, it's a Winchester gun
case for like a pistol, not a 

597
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,520
rifle anything, but it's a, a 
firearm gun case. 

598
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,040
And the firearms not being sold,
but there is ammo being sold 

599
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,360
with it. 
And I don't know if you've 

600
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,280
bought ammo lately, but it is 
very expensive. 

601
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,280
I have, I'm trained at concealed
carry license. 

602
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,400
I have all the legal paperwork 
that I need, but I have a 9mm 

603
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,440
and they're selling 9mm ammo. 
And I was like, man, if I can 

604
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,000
get it for that price, that is 
such a bargain because ammo is 

605
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,760
expensive. 
And then state of Texas, you can

606
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,200
buy ammo through auctions. 
But I thought that was 

607
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,760
interesting and I came really 
close to putting a bid on it. 

608
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,280
But maybe I'll have to watch it 
as we get closer to 7:00. 

609
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,120
You can go my route and just, 
you know, you're the, the 

610
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:24,640
silent, you know, snake eyes guy
with a meat cleaver and probably

611
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,200
a packet of soy sauce in his 
pocket. 

612
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,440
And a Tatana and all the other 
weird. 

613
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,160
Stuff you're watching, keep in 
mind like if anybody does, go 

614
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,240
check this out, so if they're 
not disappointed. 

615
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,160
The auctions on this site are 
strictly to this region. 

616
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,240
Yes, it's not statewide. 
And you have to pick up. 

617
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,560
I didn't see any options where 
they would ship it to you. 

618
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,760
So like I said, if I win 
something I have to drive or 

619
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,840
send my loving brother who will 
do it for me for $5, you have to

620
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,920
go and pick it up. 
So even if I go on here and 

621
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:03,120
there's a, let's say there's an 
auction in Corpus Christi that 

622
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,000
is a six hour drive for me, I'm 
likely not going to bid 

623
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,280
something that is down there, 
right? 

624
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,640
So so yeah, no cool resource, 
cool experience every time 

625
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,640
because you never know where 
you're going to find and you 

626
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,840
don't have to go anywhere. 
I know. 

627
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:24,520
I know that's the best thing is 
I can I just can practice my bad

628
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,080
posture and slump on my couch 
and have the laptop and go. 

629
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:34,640
I am now a sword man and it's 
it's a lifestyle that I embrace.

630
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,160
I'm sworded. 
I hope I win that button press 

631
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,640
because I'm going to make you a 
button that says sword man 

632
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:43,680
sword. 
Man. 

633
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Yeah, just a bit. 
It's it's Jewish. 

634
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,800
It's swordman. 
Swordman. 

635
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,240
Lovely. 
Well, Jake, thanks for making me

636
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:54,800
aware of this auction house. 
We'll see how we do. 

637
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,240
I'm glad we're not bidding 
against each other, but clearly 

638
00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:01,760
you have. 
We have different tastes, but 

639
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,920
no, this is fun. 
It's been a fun Sunday watching 

640
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,480
and her viewing some of the 
things online and seeing what 

641
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,360
things will go for later today. 
Well, good luck at it. 

642
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,280
We'll maybe we'll do a breakdown
on how it turns out later on. 

643
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,040
Sounds good, talk to you later. 
Bye bye.
