So we are back for producer Brett DP.
Seth, I am Graham and I heard you guys played golf this
weekend. We did.
We did, and I heard Brett doesn't really know how to play
golf. No, Brett know how to play golf.
Sounds like we were saying a second ago.
That's not what I said I would. Never, ever.
Brett's my bro. I would not talk to it on his
game. There's some guys whose game I
will talk to it on. Brett's not one of them.
That means a lot. Yeah, it really does mean a lot.
And you're having a bad day, Brett.
Does it end with AY? I'm just kidding, I'm having an
OK day. Why it's better now?
So why you just OK? I don't know, I think I just
woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
Speaking of you getting worked up, you got us all worked up on
the Rick Harrison shoot day before when we were all
travelling there. What happened?
Yeah, so there was some sensitivity around some of the
topics leading into the shoot. His son had passed away in in
the last year or so, which we knew was going to be a sensitive
topic. And we were also told ahead of
time that, you know, he didn't want to get political, wouldn't
talk too much about Trump. And so you just the day before
the shoot, you had wanted to make sure that I had talked to
the publicist and had everything covered and since I had done
that, but like a month and a half before.
And you had told me we were. Good.
Like because we don't really have preconditions with anybody.
We've profile for episodes and so that's talk through when it
comes out, it came up, just talk through.
You told me that. Fast forward a month and 1/2,
here we are. Yeah, I think I was just tired.
We had multiple shoots in between that.
So I think I just slipped my mind and I started questioning,
are we good to go? And I I let my weakness show to
you a little too much, and you pounced.
What do you mean I need a? Typical.
You just you knew that I was wasn't 100% sure and you did the
right thing and had me. I knew you weren't 100% sure
because you called me freaking out about it, and I then called
Brad, who's in Saint Louis. You're already in Vegas at the
time. I have yet to fly there.
I said to Brad, like, I think this is getting cancelled for
tomorrow, that I said to him, I'm like, that is what my gut
tells me. Let's please figure this out
before I go to the airport because we're already going to
have to fly back all the crew that's there already.
Yeah, I for the record, I never felt for a second it was going
to get cancelled, but I did. I was dreading a potential phone
call to the publicist, which I did, and turns out we had
everything covered all along. How do you think it went?
I thought it was fine. What do you think?
Elaborate. No, I thought it was good.
I think. I mean, look, man, Rick's
probably the most knowledgeable person I've ever I've ever met.
And I could tell from the day we did set up that I was really
worried about everything running very long because we were.
And this isn't a slot a slight at Rick at all.
I like Rick a lot. This is more slight at me if
anybody because I keep people talking for too long you.
Have a tendency to like, you'll never let somebody stop.
You'll go until they're done. So I was like between Rick's
tendency to like, want to educate everybody about
everything in his house, in his pawn shop, and then Graham's
willingness to sit there and let that happen, I was like, this
shoot's never going to end. But you did a really good job at
at keeping everything on schedule.
But yeah, we were there the day before trying to get You did
great. Almost too great, never heard
myself complimented by you. Before, I've complimented you
before and I when I say you did great, I mean you did great at
the schedule. I didn't mean anything.
And hey, had we known we were going to stick to the schedule,
then we could have shotguns with them, too.
Well, we actually end up rapping early.
Yeah. But yeah, we were.
We wanted to shoot guns with him.
We thought it was going to happen at his house or near his
house. And it turns out it was 1/2 hour
in the opposite direction from his house.
So that would have given us an hour drive between shooting guns
to the pawn shop. I mean hiding sites 2020 in like
this, we've never really had a shoot that's finished on time or
early never. And so, but had we known we, I
think you guys agree we would have.
We would have known, absolutely. I mean, 100% we would have done
it. Yeah, and just.
I was so angry at myself at the the end of that.
I think I was just angry at myself at the end of that day
that I've ever been following a shoot.
Well, I think we just what Seth said, we were so worried about
it going long based on everything he just broke down
that we almost over hyped it to you in a way.
And you were so on top of the schedule that there was
something allotted for an hour. Then after like 10 minutes you
were just like, cool. Thanks for doing this, Rick.
Yeah, we were in the bar. I thought the we had the bar
allotted for an hour and we get in the bar and it was like,
yeah, this is that, this is that and here's that.
And I was like, cool, All right, yeah, yeah, we're done.
Yeah. I mean, he's, he's, he's got
some cool and he really likes to, to tell you about it.
He has a healthy ego, that's for sure.
However, I mean, you got to give the guy a lot of credit.
He had this, I mean you little pawn shop back in the day that
because he believed in himself and believed in what they were
doing, went out and hustled, found a production company that
believed in them too to create a show and got.
Them over and then got. Somebody else?
Well, no, that was. Kids.
They kind of were the ones that got the ball rolling.
I mean, in their in his defense, they didn't try to push it all
to do. Anything.
And if those kids had ever reached out, I'm sure he would
have done something. He said they never reached out.
But anyways, like found a production company, got the show
on the air, was one of History Channel's most successful shows
ever, built up his pawn shop around that.
And now all these extensions of their business.
It's like, you know, he has a healthy ego.
Everybody close to him says Rick likes talking about Rick.
But you got to respect the the the hustle and the fact that he
created all that out of nothing. Yeah, and it's a genuine and
like he's genuinely interested. It's not like a money grab like
he'd be doing. He'd be working that pawn shop
if it was never on TV still. And he seems like a super nice
man. I thought he was insanely not
like he Yeah, like there was no like you weren't.
I guess you weren't there when he got there.
But we were doing set up and he walked in just like sat down and
started like hanging out. And I, it was really funny
though, because I like walked over to introduce myself to him
and try to figure out the things he was going to be most
interested in showing us for the house tour.
And I was like trying to figure out a schedule.
And he just kept showing me stuff.
And he's like, come check this out.
Then all of a sudden Carlos and Mario are following me with
cameras and then I'm doing a house tour with, with him
instead of you. And I was just like, yeah, he
did the thing to me a million times where he'd be like, you
know, say a name and he'd look at me and I'm like, he's like,
you know, that is it's like some actor from the 40s.
So I started, Brett caught me. I started saying, yeah, I know
they'll be, even though I had no idea who's talking because I
just got so self-conscious. Yeah, well, there's a lot of in
that show, in this episode, there's a lot of we've caught
around it. But him saying something and
then like waiting for a response from you and you're just like.
Well, I I felt really stupid. Well, but I mean really stupid
and, and rightfully so. I mean, yeah, I guess I should
have gone to college longer. Everybody he brought up or every
topic, I would have had the same response as you of.
Yeah, yeah, maybe. No, I don't know.
I didn't really know really anything about what he was
talking about. And I learned a lot there.
And that's what makes him so interesting is that he has so
much knowledge. And I don't know, I don't think
there's a lot of out there either about his personal
collection, which we kind of got to see with his books and just
what his house looks like. So I thought that was awesome.
Well. I think there's probably a like,
you would think watching that show, right?
It's reality TV, which a lot of times is faked.
You would think, oh, somebody's bringing in some object, OK,
Rick's going to then learn about it and then be on camera about
it. But now he just knows so much
about everything, like he's in the right field.
He could be like a professor on Knick knacks.
Yeah, yeah. He was like something about the
He had the oldest stained glass ever.
In. America and so he, he was able
to tell like certain parts of it were older because they didn't
have that color red in that century or something.
So and. Then with the picture on it,
since it wasn't religious and it was scientific, made it from the
1600s instead of the 1300s. And he's like, you know, because
they stopped doing it in 1320. And you're like, oh, totally,
yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, anyway. Another one in the books.
For Brett and Seth, I am Graham.
Goodbye.
