Dani D, what's up?

DANIELLE: Hey, I'm
glad I caught you guys.

00:00:09,143 --> 00:00:11,209
I'm sending you to meet
Mary, Sarah, and Shane.

00:00:11,278 --> 00:00:14,013
DANIELLE: Sarah's father had a
photography studio out in the

5
00:00:14,215 --> 00:00:16,147
desert. So I've been talking
to Shane, Sarah's fiancé.

6
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:18,417
He's the one who's been helping
her clear everything out,

7
00:00:18,619 --> 00:00:19,885
since her father died.

8
00:00:20,087 --> 00:00:22,021
ROBBIE: Well, we're in
the middle of the desert.

00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:23,622
MIKE: I feel like we're in
an episode of Breaking Bad.

00:00:23,824 --> 00:00:25,557

you're close then.

00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:28,827
DANIELLE: Yeah, this
place is packed.

13
00:00:28,896 --> 00:00:30,762
I mean, obviously
there's vintage cameras,

14
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:33,031
but they also have
like bicycles,

00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:35,634
he has a Porsche up there,
vintage audio equipment.

16
00:00:35,836 --> 00:00:36,568
MIKE: He's got
an old Porsche?

17
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:37,503
ROBBIE: He's
got a Porsche?

have fun with this one,

00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:40,906
but make sure to stay hydrated.

know how it shakes out.

ROBBIE: out.

00:00:45,446 --> 00:00:46,978
ROBBIE: Yeah.

you guys been at...

SHANE: We...

71
00:01:59,253 --> 00:02:00,052
MARY: Well, we just started
coming out in the last year,

72
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,052
goingthrough a few
things he had plenty

73
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:02,587
of time to accumulate it
over the last 30 years.

Jim collect?

00:02:03,657 --> 00:02:04,723
What didn't he collect?

76
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:06,191
Even before we started dating,

77
00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:08,860
he was always buying bicycles,
fixing it up, selling them.

78
00:02:08,929 --> 00:02:11,063
MARY: And then it went
to Volkswagens,

79
00:02:11,265 --> 00:02:14,933
for a short time he had his
own Volkswagen repair shop.

80
00:02:15,002 --> 00:02:19,137
And then he pursued
his photography career.

81
00:02:19,206 --> 00:02:20,472
MIKE: Well, it seems like he
never left-lost his passion.

82

MARY & SARAH:
No.

in here, I'm seeing like...

84
00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:24,743
okay, this guy's got
his priorities straight.

85
00:02:24,812 --> 00:02:26,344
He's got the bad
-to-the-bone stereo.

00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:27,345

87
00:02:27,414 --> 00:02:28,346

Ritchey mountain bike.

ROBBIE: mountain
bike. Okay.

91
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:33,018
MIKE: I'm like
going whoa,

92
00:02:33,086 --> 00:02:33,418
and it's all in the living
room, and I'm like...

93
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:34,819
ROBIE: Yeah.

94
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:35,420
SHANE: He's got a
laser disc system too.

95
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:35,954
SARAH: [laughs]

96
00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:37,155
MIKE: Does
he really!

97
00:02:37,224 --> 00:02:38,289
I'll tell you what, the guy
had great taste in bikes.

98
00:02:38,358 --> 00:02:38,690
This is...

99
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:39,691
MARY: Yeah.

100
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,159
MIKE: this is
a Ritchey bicycle.

101
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:42,361
And Ritchey was one of the
creators of the mountain bike.

102
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:44,162
MIKE: In the early 1970s, in
the San Francisco Bay area,

103
00:02:44,231 --> 00:02:47,232
guys like Joe Breeze and Tom
Ritchey were imagining a bike

104
00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:53,105
that could go anywhere, climb
any hill, and descend anything.

105
00:02:53,307 --> 00:02:55,707
They were pioneers and they
were looking beyond the roads

106
00:02:55,776 --> 00:02:57,643
and into the woods
and mountains.

107
00:02:57,845 --> 00:02:58,443
MIKE: Oh here's
another Ritchey.

108
00:02:58,512 --> 00:02:59,377
He had 2 Ritcheys.

109
00:02:59,446 --> 00:03:00,645
The same one!

110
00:03:00,714 --> 00:03:01,713
SARAH: Uh -huh. Yeah.
[laughs]

111
00:03:01,781 --> 00:03:02,514
MIKE: 2 of the
same exact bike?

112
00:03:02,583 --> 00:03:03,515
SHANE: There
you go.

113
00:03:03,717 --> 00:03:04,983
ROBBIE: He
said, he...

114
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:06,051
MIKE: Okay, so one's got
front suspension, one's rigid.

115
00:03:06,253 --> 00:03:07,653
So this one right here, is
an earlier model because

116
00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:09,788
it's got a U brake
on the bottom.

117
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:12,190
MIKE: I'm a bicycle
collector, a rider,

118
00:03:12,259 --> 00:03:14,926
and an enthusiast. I'm not just
interested in stuff from the

119
00:03:14,995 --> 00:03:17,663
turn-of-the-century, I'm
interested in things that

120
00:03:17,865 --> 00:03:19,665
were revolutionary
to the industry.

121
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:21,733
MIKE: These are
historic bikes.

122
00:03:21,802 --> 00:03:22,734
I mean, they're
epic because like,

123
00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:24,603
Tom Ritchey was the-the founder,

124
00:03:24,805 --> 00:03:26,205
the creator of mountain biking.

125
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:28,807
I mean, he's been inducted into
the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.

126
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:30,608
MIKE: The mountain
bike completely

127
00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:31,810
revolutionized the industry.

128
00:03:32,012 --> 00:03:34,212
To be honest with you,
it helped save it.

129
00:03:34,281 --> 00:03:37,015
A lot of people looked at road
bikes like they were elitist,

130
00:03:37,084 --> 00:03:39,817
they were intimidating,
and not very comfortable.

131
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:41,820
So what the industry
desperately needed

132
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:44,690
was something that
appealed to the masses,

133
00:03:44,758 --> 00:03:45,891
and that was the mountain bike.

134
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,893
MIKE: These were all handmade,
so like my brother and I worked

135
00:03:48,962 --> 00:03:50,495
at a bicycle shop, and I
owned a bicycle shop

136
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:52,363
for a very long time.

137
00:03:52,432 --> 00:03:53,165
ROBBIE: Yeah.

138
00:03:53,367 --> 00:03:54,166
MIKE: But for a
customer to walk in,

139
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:55,634
in Iowa and order
something like this...

140
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:56,835
ROBBIE: Like
this, yeah.

141
00:03:56,904 --> 00:03:58,169
MIKE: you never
really ever saw that.

142
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:01,039
MIKE: Tom Ritchey anything was
always extremely high quality,

143
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:03,108
whether it was a fork, a
handlebar stem, a crank set.

144
00:04:03,177 --> 00:04:06,111
Every bike that had his name
on it, had his hands on it.

145
00:04:06,313 --> 00:04:08,913
Even with all his success, the
guy still kept it personal.

146
00:04:08,982 --> 00:04:10,849
MIKE: And the geometry's
very simple on them,

147
00:04:10,918 --> 00:04:12,584
they're what they called
TIG welded frames,

148
00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:13,785
and he had his own tubing.

149
00:04:13,853 --> 00:04:16,255
You can hear how...
thin that is.

150
00:04:16,457 --> 00:04:18,122
MARY: Um-hm.

151
00:04:18,191 --> 00:04:19,991
MIKE: His bikes were really
light for that time period.

152
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:22,995
I'm interested in this one
for like... 550 bucks.

153
00:04:25,733 --> 00:04:26,999
MARY: I think 6
would be good.

154
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:30,802
MIKE: Hmm...

155
00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:32,671
MIKE: These bicycles
may not be that old,

156
00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:35,606
but they're extremely important.

157
00:04:35,676 --> 00:04:37,008
MIKE: I'm
going to do it.

158
00:04:37,077 --> 00:04:38,476
I'm-I'm an old crazy old
mountain bike guy too.

159
00:04:38,545 --> 00:04:39,344
MARY: Okay.
Alright.

160
00:04:39,413 --> 00:04:39,678
MIKE: Okay?

161
00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:40,279
[laughs]

162
00:04:40,481 --> 00:04:41,879
MARY: Enjoy.

163
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:42,881
ROBBIE: Jim was one
of those guys that,

164
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:43,882
reminds me a little bit of
my brother and I.

165
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:46,218
He was into cars, and
into mountain biking.

166
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:49,020
The little sanctuary that he
built out here in the middle of

167
00:04:49,089 --> 00:04:51,222
the desert is a perfect
place for all this stuff.

168
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:54,826
SARAH: He really wanted to have
a place for his, his artistry,

169
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:57,562
and he felt so creative
in a space where

170
00:04:57,631 --> 00:04:59,164
there wasn't many people.

171
00:04:59,232 --> 00:05:02,100
MIKE: Most people would consider
the desert a flyover zone,

172
00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:04,702
or an area that you want to
drive through as fast as you

173
00:05:04,771 --> 00:05:06,905
can, because it is so desolate,

174
00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:09,841
and the temperatures
are incredibly high.

175
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:11,643
But the desert is so
much more than that.

176
00:05:11,845 --> 00:05:13,911
It's peaceful and it's quiet.

177
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:16,648
Which is exactly why
this was his retreat.

178
00:05:17,184 --> 00:05:19,985
MIKE: I've traveled on
motorcycle across the desert

179
00:05:20,053 --> 00:05:21,853
before, and man, there's
certain points of the day

180
00:05:21,922 --> 00:05:24,656
where, the light, the
colors just change.

181
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:25,390
SARAH: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

182
00:05:25,592 --> 00:05:26,991
MARY: It's magical.

183
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:28,126
MARY: Any time that we
would go on a little trip,

184
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:30,328
it always took, you know, 10
extra hours every day...

185
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:32,063
SARAH: Yeah.

186
00:05:32,132 --> 00:05:32,864
MARY: Because he had to pull
over and take pictures,

187
00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:34,599
wait until the sun
was just right

188
00:05:34,802 --> 00:05:35,867
and the lighting was coming in.

189
00:05:35,936 --> 00:05:37,803
SARAH: Um-hm. One more
roll, one more shot,

190
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:38,737
one more-look at-we
gotta do-oh look,

191
00:05:38,939 --> 00:05:40,672
you're missing it,
Sarah, you just...

192
00:05:40,741 --> 00:05:41,206
MARY & SARAH:
going off...

193
00:05:41,275 --> 00:05:42,273
[laughs]

194
00:05:42,343 --> 00:05:43,675
SARAH: So.

195
00:05:43,877 --> 00:05:44,943
SARAH: We're still
going though,

196
00:05:45,012 --> 00:05:45,943
I'm still opening drawers
and cabinets and closets

197
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,612
and finding things I've
never seen before.

198
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:49,281
MIKE: Lead,
lead the way.

199
00:05:49,483 --> 00:05:50,081
MARY: Okay.

200
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:51,149
MIKE: Alright,
let me see here.

201
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:55,420
SARAH: Swap meets, garage
sales, estate sales, curbs.

202
00:05:55,622 --> 00:05:56,955
MIKE: 'Best of Bowie.'

203
00:05:57,023 --> 00:05:59,624
SARAH: Anywhere that
something was for sale,

204
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:00,826
he was buying something.

205
00:06:00,894 --> 00:06:02,961
MIKE: Marantz.
Stereophonic receiver.

206
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:05,230
SARAH: There is, you
know, 12 more in the...

207
00:06:05,299 --> 00:06:06,298
the shop.

208
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:07,299
MIKE: There's 12 more
of these in the shop?

209
00:06:07,501 --> 00:06:08,900
SARAH: Uh-huh.

210
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:09,700
SARAH: He gave me my
own Marantz, in my...

211
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:12,971
room, as a child,
you know like...

212
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,973
when I, like on my 12th
birthday, he set it up,

213
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:17,442
and it's like, well our
house is only, you know,

214
00:06:17,511 --> 00:06:18,376
1,000 square feet.

215
00:06:18,445 --> 00:06:20,044
MARY: [laughs]

216
00:06:20,114 --> 00:06:21,379
SARAH: And we have, you
know, 4 Marantzes hooked up.

217
00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:21,713
ROBBIE: Wow.

218
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:22,380
MIKE: Oh wow.

219
00:06:22,449 --> 00:06:24,048
SARAH: Yeah...

220
00:06:24,118 --> 00:06:25,383
MIKE: Look at these... look
at all the Marantz stuff!

221
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:26,718
MARY: [laughs]

222
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:28,119
MIKE: Oh he's got
a bunch of them!

223
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:30,188
MIKE: Marantz is one of those
companies that set the bar

224
00:06:30,256 --> 00:06:33,725
when it came to high fidelity
audio systems in the 1970s.

225
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:34,726
ROBBIE: Mike, look
at this over here.

226
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:37,596
MIKE: [laughing]
Oh my God... wow!

227
00:06:37,798 --> 00:06:38,930
ROBBIE: These
are all Marantz.

228
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:42,066
MIKE: This takes brand
loyalty to the next level.

229
00:06:42,136 --> 00:06:43,602
MIKE: Did you realize your
man was such a Marantz man?

230
00:06:43,804 --> 00:06:45,537
MARY: [laughs]
I didn't know.

231
00:06:45,605 --> 00:06:46,804
ROBBIE: Look
at that.

232
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:47,872
MIKE: I feel like Robbie and I
are back in Team Electronics in

233
00:06:47,941 --> 00:06:52,144
1978, Duck Creek Plaza,
Bettendorf, Iowa,

234
00:06:52,346 --> 00:06:55,346
looking at all of the Marantz
stuff that we couldn't afford.

235
00:06:55,949 --> 00:07:00,085
ROBBIE: Here's a
4430, here's a 2226B.

236
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:02,087
ROBBIE: Mike and I are
reliving our youth, basically.

237
00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:05,757
Vintage stereo equipment,
this is what we used to do.

238
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,559
Led Zeppelin live,
RTR towers outside.

239
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:11,029
Our neighbors hated us!

240
00:07:11,098 --> 00:07:12,830
MIKE: And here's a turntable
that looks pretty cool.

241
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:15,567
Let's see... ugh... where
can we put this?

242
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:16,834
ROBBIE: I
love the...

243
00:07:16,903 --> 00:07:17,302
gear mechanism, now
put it right here.

244
00:07:17,371 --> 00:07:17,768
MIKE: Ahh...

245
00:07:17,838 --> 00:07:18,437
SARAH: Yamaha.

246
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:19,637
ROBBIE: What
is that?

247
00:07:19,706 --> 00:07:20,505
MIKE: Yeah,
what is this?

248
00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:21,506
ROBBIE:
Yamaha?

249
00:07:21,575 --> 00:07:21,907
SARAH:
Yamaha PX3.

250
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:22,908
MARY:
Yeah.

251
00:07:22,976 --> 00:07:23,842
ROBBIE: Oh it's a
Yamaha. It's right here.

252
00:07:23,911 --> 00:07:25,644
MIKE: I mean, all of
this stuff, I mean,

253
00:07:25,846 --> 00:07:26,711
to real-actually really use it,

254
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:27,712
you're going to want
it gone through,

255
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:28,380
at least cleaned and looke at.

256
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:28,713
MARY: Um-hm.

257
00:07:28,916 --> 00:07:29,647
SARAH: Right.

258
00:07:29,716 --> 00:07:30,915
MIKE: You know
what I mean.

259
00:07:30,984 --> 00:07:32,050
And a lot of those guys,
I mean, in Nashville,

260
00:07:32,252 --> 00:07:33,184
those guys are like 80 bucks
an hour, some of them are.

261
00:07:33,253 --> 00:07:34,719
MIKE: I've always been
passionate about hi-fi.

262
00:07:34,922 --> 00:07:38,190
Speakers, turntables,
amps, receivers.

263
00:07:38,392 --> 00:07:41,192
MIKE: He must have bought every
one he ever saw at a yard sale.

264
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:45,196
MIKE: Thank God for guys like
Jim that had the vision to find

265
00:07:45,265 --> 00:07:49,801
this stuff, and store it, and
keep it for future generations.

266
00:07:50,003 --> 00:07:53,672
MIKE: Alright... we'll
line them up here.

267
00:07:53,874 --> 00:07:55,206
MIKE: Jim never
lost the passion.

268
00:07:55,275 --> 00:07:58,743
He knew there was going to be
a next revolution of vinyl,

269
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:01,880
and that is happening right now.

270
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:04,349
MIKE: Okay, so all of
these turntables...

271
00:08:04,551 --> 00:08:07,352
ugh don't do that!

272
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:08,219
ROBBIE: Oh.

273
00:08:08,288 --> 00:08:09,287
MIKE: 'Cause of that
plastic, you know.

274
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:10,822
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.

275
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:11,689
MIKE: When you
scratch that plastic,

276
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:12,958
you're scratching that plastic.

277
00:08:13,026 --> 00:08:17,828
Okay, so you've got a
Denon, a Sony, Yamaha,

278
00:08:17,898 --> 00:08:19,631
we've got a Marantz,
and we've got a...

279
00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:21,566
ROBBIE: Bang
and Olufsen.

280
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:22,634
MIKE: Bang
and Olufsen.

281
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:23,968
Does this got a stylus on it?

282
00:08:24,037 --> 00:08:24,970
ROBBIE: I don't see it,
it doesn't look like it.

283
00:08:25,038 --> 00:08:25,970
MIKE: No, there's no
stylus on that at all.

284
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:29,507
So, the stylus, like on
that Bang and Olufsen...

285
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:31,910
that's-that's not cheap.

286
00:08:31,978 --> 00:08:33,445
I mean, you want to
get something nice,

287
00:08:33,647 --> 00:08:34,446
you know what I mean?

288
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:37,048
And all of these are
averaging about...

289
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:41,452
anywhere from 3 to 500, except
for-that's like working,

290
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:42,920
except for this one.

291
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:45,123
This one's 5 to 7, the
Marantz one's 5 to 7.

292
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:48,527
MIKE: It was a big deal to
own Marantz back in the day,

293
00:08:48,729 --> 00:08:50,928
and it's a bigger deal now.

294
00:08:50,997 --> 00:08:55,066
The sound that a Marantz
delivers is timeless.

295
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,936
MIKE: I'm coming at this from
a standpoint of, you know,

296
00:08:58,004 --> 00:09:00,472
having this stuff gone
through, to sell it.

297
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:01,673
MARY:
Uh-huh.

298
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:02,874
MIKE: You know, unless you're
going to sell it to somebody,

299
00:09:02,943 --> 00:09:03,875
and you don't go through it,
and then you're-

300
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:05,209
you're not going to get
the money out of it.

301
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:06,678
800.

302
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,746
MIKE: The way I'm
figuring that is:

303
00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:14,085
150, 150, 150, 150 -
that's 6;7, 8.

304
00:09:14,153 --> 00:09:16,020
SARAH: I know there are
other turntables, you know,

305
00:09:16,089 --> 00:09:18,423
I feel like that might have
been the only Marantz

306
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:19,958
turntable my dad had.

307
00:09:20,027 --> 00:09:21,759
SARAH: I think you can
come up a little bit more,

308
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:23,361
because of this
Marantz turntable.

309
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:24,429
MIKE: Alright.

310
00:09:24,631 --> 00:09:26,298
Robbie, grab that receiver,
grab that one receiver.

311
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:27,365
ROBBIE: Oh, ugh.

312
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:28,699
MIKE: Alright, so.

313
00:09:28,768 --> 00:09:29,434
ROBBIE: This
thing ain't light.

314
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:30,701
MIKE: Yeah, so...

315
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:31,970
ROBBIE: It's got
a cracked case.

316
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:32,637
MIKE: Well, it just
broke in half, didn't it?

317
00:09:32,706 --> 00:09:33,705
ROBBIE: No it
didn't. Where?

318
00:09:33,774 --> 00:09:34,573
MIKE: The case is
broken on that.

319
00:09:34,775 --> 00:09:35,573
ROBBIE: Yeah,
right here.

320
00:09:35,642 --> 00:09:36,374
MIKE: It's got a big...

321
00:09:36,442 --> 00:09:37,775
ROBBIE: Yep.

322
00:09:37,844 --> 00:09:38,510
MIKE: big whambo
-jambo on it.

323
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:39,044
ROBBIE: Right here.

324
00:09:39,112 --> 00:09:39,844
MIKE: Alright, so...

325
00:09:39,912 --> 00:09:42,314
800, you wanted to come up 900.

326
00:09:42,516 --> 00:09:43,648
SARAH: Um-hm.

327
00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:44,315
MIKE: And then
an extra 300...

328
00:09:44,384 --> 00:09:45,516
SARAH: Okay.

329
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:46,384
MIKE: Because all this...

330
00:09:46,452 --> 00:09:47,785
ROBBIE: 1,200.

331
00:09:47,854 --> 00:09:48,720
MIKE: this is
going to have to go...

332
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:49,320
be gone through,
totally gone through.

333
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:50,454
SARAH: Um-hm.

334
00:09:50,523 --> 00:09:51,389
MIKE: All of it is.

335
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:52,791
ROBBIE: Yeah, yeah.

336
00:09:52,859 --> 00:09:53,324
MIKE: But it's great
stuff, you know.

337
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:53,791
ROBBIE: Yeah.

338
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:54,659
SARAH: 1,200?

339
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:55,260
MARY: I think
that's fair.

340
00:09:55,462 --> 00:09:56,394
SARAH: Yep.

341
00:09:56,462 --> 00:09:57,262
MIKE: Alright.

342
00:09:57,464 --> 00:09:57,928
MARY: Fair?

343
00:09:57,998 --> 00:09:58,396
SARAH: It
sounds good.

344
00:09:58,464 --> 00:09:59,330
ROBBIE: Alright.

346
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:01,599
ROBBIE: You can access
more music today

347
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:03,134
than any time in history.

348
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:06,737
But you can never recreate the
sound these stereos give you.

349
00:10:06,806 --> 00:10:08,139
You put the needle
on the record,

350
00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:12,811
you sit down in your chair,
and it's moving your body.

351
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:13,011
MIKE: Love it. I
absolutely love it.

353
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,357
SARAH: I know you guys
asked about the Porsche.

354
00:10:26,426 --> 00:10:27,492
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.

355
00:10:27,561 --> 00:10:29,494
MARY: It's a 912, 1966.

356
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:30,428
MIKE: Look at that!

357
00:10:30,496 --> 00:10:31,362
MARY: This car...

358
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:32,964
ROBBIE: Wow.

359
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:33,831
MARY: he bought from
a, our neighbor friend.

360
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:35,633
ROBBIE: You remember
him buying this?

361
00:10:35,702 --> 00:10:36,367
MARY: Oh yes,
yes, definitely.

362
00:10:36,436 --> 00:10:37,302
ROBBIE: Yeah.

363
00:10:37,504 --> 00:10:38,970
MIKE: [laughs]

364
00:10:39,038 --> 00:10:39,837
MARY: It was just his
getting around town car,

365
00:10:39,906 --> 00:10:42,306
nice little car to
present himself in.

366
00:10:42,376 --> 00:10:43,308
MIKE: Wow...

367
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:45,310
so when's the last time
this ran, do you know?

368
00:10:45,512 --> 00:10:46,444
MARY: '92 or so?

369
00:10:46,512 --> 00:10:48,647
MARY: The Porsche was
not a practical car for

370
00:10:48,849 --> 00:10:51,048
getting around with a toddler.

371
00:10:51,117 --> 00:10:55,453
So, he parked the car here,
and used the van more,

372
00:10:55,522 --> 00:10:56,654
the Volkswagen van.

373
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:58,857
MIKE: It looks
extremely solid.

374
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:00,591
I mean, a lot of these
cars, you know...

375
00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:01,992
ROBBIE: It looks
incredible.

376
00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:03,394
MIKE: I mean, they
look great from the top...

377
00:11:03,463 --> 00:11:04,262
MARY: Uh-huh.

378
00:11:04,464 --> 00:11:05,730
He was the third owner
of it, I know that.

379
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:06,598
It was always a California car.

380
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:07,732
MIKE: Here
we go, okay.

381
00:11:07,934 --> 00:11:10,935
ROBBIE: Showing
81,000 on the miles.

382
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,603
MIKE: The 912 was the
affordable version of

383
00:11:12,673 --> 00:11:14,538
the 911 for the US market.

384
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:16,741
MIKE: I mean, overall it's
just so freakin' solid.

385
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:18,543
Let's see the engine, Robbie.

386
00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:21,078
MIKE: For these early years,
the only major structural

387
00:11:21,147 --> 00:11:23,614
differences were the location
of the motor mounts...

388
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:24,749
MIKE: Engine's
not stuck.

389
00:11:24,817 --> 00:11:25,817
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
That's not stuck.

390
00:11:25,886 --> 00:11:27,618
MIKE: And also, an
accommodation for the

391
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,754
oil tank for the 911 engine.

392
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:31,622
MIKE: So the 912,
this is a 4-cylinder.

393
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:33,424
The 911 was a 6-cylinder.

394
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:35,026
MARY:
Um-hm.

395
00:11:35,094 --> 00:11:37,695
MIKE: And 911 is basically,
almost the same car,

396
00:11:37,764 --> 00:11:39,630
except it's like
twice the money.

397
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:41,098
MARY: Um-hm.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

398
00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:42,366
MIKE: You know, in regards
to the power and the price.

399
00:11:42,436 --> 00:11:46,371
But the style of the car, the
design of the car is basically,

400
00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:47,305
like a 911.

401
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:48,907
MARY: Um-hm.

402
00:11:48,975 --> 00:11:49,707
MIKE: Have you guys
done any research on

403
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:50,841
this in regards to
the value of it?

404
00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:53,044
SARAH: We have had
a couple of offers.

405
00:11:53,112 --> 00:11:55,847
Um, and I know, you know,
it's nice to have a car

406
00:11:55,916 --> 00:11:57,381
that's never been, you
know, repainted...

407
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:59,116
MIKE: Exactly.

408
00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:01,786
SARAH: It's pretty much as
original as it gets, so. Um...

409
00:12:01,988 --> 00:12:02,520
MIKE: So your father
always told you that

410
00:12:02,588 --> 00:12:03,254
it was original paint?

411
00:12:03,456 --> 00:12:04,656
SARAH: Yeah.

412
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:05,923
MIKE: At first glance, the car
looks like it's original paint.

413
00:12:05,992 --> 00:12:07,058
It's been in a climate
-controlled building.

414
00:12:07,127 --> 00:12:10,929
A car like this in this
condition, is a time capsule.

415
00:12:10,997 --> 00:12:12,597
MIKE: What kind of offers
have you guys had?

416
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:13,531
SARAH: It's a
large amount.

417
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:14,999
It's a large offer, yeah.

418
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:15,600
MIKE: Well I know, I
mean... I just... there's...

419
00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:16,600
SARAH: Like 25 grand.

420
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:18,136
MIKE: Yeah.
SARAH: Yeah.

421
00:12:18,204 --> 00:12:20,671
MIKE: If you Google these
cars, or research these cars,

422
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:21,539
you'll see that they're anywhere

423
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,341
from 25 grand running...

424
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:24,942
SARAH: Um-hm.

425
00:12:25,011 --> 00:12:27,678
MIKE: To... 60 grand, like
clean and mile-low

426
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,347
mileage and all that stuff.

427
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:30,347
ROBBIE: Yeah.

428
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,549
MIKE: Do you have a
number in mind for it?

429
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:32,483
If you passed at 25 grand?

430
00:12:32,552 --> 00:12:34,018
SARAH: It was more...

431
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:34,418
ROBBIE: She didn't really
pass at 25 grand... yeah.

432
00:12:34,488 --> 00:12:36,154
SARAH: It yeah...

433
00:12:36,223 --> 00:12:37,688
it was just more like, are we
ready to-to get rid of it...

434
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:38,556
ROBBIE: To get,
to get it out.

435
00:12:38,625 --> 00:12:39,290
MARY: Right.
SARAH: Yeah.

436
00:12:39,492 --> 00:12:41,025
ROBBIE: Yeah.

437
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:42,293
ROBBIE: Any car from the
'50s and '60s, if you find a

438
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:44,696
car that's got original paint
on it with low miles on it,

439
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:45,563
you have to try and buy it.

440
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:46,631
MIKE: Take a
picture of that.

441
00:12:46,833 --> 00:12:47,765
You got Rich at J-3's number?

442
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:48,767
ROBBIE: Yeah, I
got his number.

443
00:12:48,969 --> 00:12:49,700
ROBBIE: They're
like unicorns out there.

444
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:50,702
ROBBIE: Going in,
hold on there.

445
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:51,836
MIKE: Going
in... going in.

446
00:12:51,905 --> 00:12:52,503
ROBBIE: I got the
door, I got the door.

447
00:12:52,572 --> 00:12:53,704
MARY: Oh
God... Oh...

448
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:54,706
ROBBIE: Got to
get the legs out.

449
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:55,306
MIKE: I'm doing
the splits.

450
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,841
[laughing]

451
00:12:56,909 --> 00:12:57,441
ROBBIE: Yeah, you're
doing the splits.

452
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:58,375
MARY: Oh my God...

453
00:12:58,444 --> 00:12:58,843
MIKE: Argh, man!

454
00:12:58,911 --> 00:12:59,310
ROBBIE: Yeah.

455
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:00,912
MIKE: Ugh! Whoa!

456
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:01,379
ROBBIE: At least our
knees still work that way.

457
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:02,914
[group laughing]

458
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:04,449
MIKE: Ah, it's so cool.
Have you sat in this?

459
00:13:04,517 --> 00:13:05,583
SARAH: I haven't.

460
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:06,383
MIKE: You might not want to
sell it if you sit in it, man.

461
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:07,986
SARAH: [laughs]

462
00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:11,188
ROBBIE: This car mechanically
looks like it's sound.

463
00:13:11,257 --> 00:13:13,124
MIKE: I want to see what the
floor looks like on this thing.

464
00:13:13,193 --> 00:13:16,661
ROBBIE: A guy can't afford a
911, but he can afford a 912.

465
00:13:16,863 --> 00:13:18,329
MIKE: It's clean,
it's super clean.

466
00:13:18,398 --> 00:13:19,197
ROBBIE: Yeah.

467
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:20,799
ROBBIE: The difference
is 25 to $50,000.

468
00:13:21,001 --> 00:13:22,333
MIKE: Did you send
those pictures to J-3?

469
00:13:22,402 --> 00:13:23,935
ROBBIE: Yeah.

470
00:13:24,004 --> 00:13:25,336
MIKE: We got a guy that,
all he does is Porsche.

471
00:13:25,405 --> 00:13:27,071
MARY: Um-hm.

472
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:27,939
MIKE: Anything early air
-cooled like this is his jam.

473
00:13:28,007 --> 00:13:29,941
We always kind of
chime in with him.

474
00:13:30,009 --> 00:13:32,409
He's a pretty good, he's a
pretty good dude.

476
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:34,412
RICH (ON PHONE):
Mike?

477
00:13:34,614 --> 00:13:35,146
ROBBIE:
Hey Rich.

478
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:35,613
MIKE: Rich,
what's up?

479
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:36,947
RICH (ON PHONE):
Hey.

480
00:13:37,016 --> 00:13:37,949
MIKE: We're here with
the owners of the car.

481
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:39,617
The car to me looks like
it's original paint.

482
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:41,152
And the floors are rock solid.

483
00:13:41,221 --> 00:13:43,888
And they've had an offer at
25,000 and they turned it down-

484
00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:46,156
or they didn't turn it
down, they weren't ready.

485
00:13:46,226 --> 00:13:49,493
RICH (ON PHONE): If, if the
motor is non-stuck... good...

486
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:50,428
MIKE: It's not stuck.

487
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:51,763
ROBBIE: Its not stuck.

488
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:52,496
MIKE: It's not stuck,
I turned it over.

489
00:13:52,566 --> 00:13:53,764
RICH (ON PHONE):
Right.

490
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:55,166
Let's assume that
the block is good.

491
00:13:55,235 --> 00:13:57,035
You're still going to, to take
a car that's been sitting that

492
00:13:57,103 --> 00:14:01,372
long, fuel system, brake
system, carbs, everything.

493
00:14:01,441 --> 00:14:02,640
ROBBIE: Yeah.

494
00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:03,641
RICH (ON PHONE):
So you know...

495
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:04,909
MIKE: So what
is that around?

496
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:05,643
RICH (ON PHONE): You
know, you could blow

497
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:06,711
10 grand, you know, real quick.

498
00:14:06,913 --> 00:14:07,845
For a running,
driving, patina car,

499
00:14:07,914 --> 00:14:10,315
that's the retail
number on that car.

500
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:11,716
ROBBIE: Right.

501
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:12,316
RICH (ON PHONE): I'm sure it's
a great car, but... you know...

502
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:14,118
MIKE: It is.

503
00:14:14,186 --> 00:14:15,186
RICH (ON PHONE): end user
versus what, what y'all...

504
00:14:15,254 --> 00:14:16,520
MIKE: The paint, the paint
looks like it'd clean up

505
00:14:16,590 --> 00:14:18,456
pretty decent, you know.

506
00:14:18,658 --> 00:14:19,724
MIKE & ROBBIE:
Yeah.

507
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:20,724
RICH (ON PHONE): Did you pull
back the seals, you know,

508
00:14:20,793 --> 00:14:21,993
look for any signs of overspray?

509
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:23,795
ROBBIE: Yeah, I already
did-I did that, Rich.

510
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:24,995
MIKE: We didn't pull
back the hood seal.

511
00:14:25,064 --> 00:14:26,865
ROBBIE: Yeah, we did, I
pulled it back in here.

512
00:14:27,067 --> 00:14:27,999
RICH (ON PHONE): The
fender seal in the front,

513
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:30,001
like where it goes up
to the windshield cowl,

514
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:33,538
there's that small 7 to
8 inch seal that goes

515
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:35,406
between the cowl and...

516
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,075
ROBBIE: Right here.

517
00:14:37,143 --> 00:14:37,809
RICH (ON PHONE): the-
the fenders, yeah, that's...

518
00:14:38,011 --> 00:14:38,943
ROBBIE: Yeah, but
this is... this...

519
00:14:39,011 --> 00:14:39,410
RICH (ON PHONE): No
overspray, spotless...

520
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:40,411
ROBBIE: Right here?

521
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,412
SARAH: Oh... oh...

522
00:14:41,614 --> 00:14:42,680
ROBBIE: Right here.

523
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:43,748
MIKE: That seal's
painted white.

524
00:14:43,817 --> 00:14:44,348
ROBBIE: Yeah, so
is this. Right here.

525
00:14:44,417 --> 00:14:46,150
MIKE: Okay.

526
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:46,484
ROBBIE: A little bit of white
marks on the-on the seal,

527
00:14:46,686 --> 00:14:47,885
on the window.

528
00:14:47,954 --> 00:14:48,352
RICH (ON PHONE): Then
it's been painted.

529
00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:49,487
ROBBIE: Yeah.

530
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,022
MARY & SARAH: Ohh...

531
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:52,290
RICH (ON PHONE): Alright, so
it's not original paint...

532
00:14:52,359 --> 00:14:52,756
ROBBIE: Yeah, right here, you
can see it right here Mike.

533
00:14:52,825 --> 00:14:54,224
SARAH: Ooh...

534
00:14:54,294 --> 00:14:55,293
RICH (ON PHONE): That's, that's a
big difference... that's why...

535
00:14:55,495 --> 00:14:56,427
ROBBIE: Yeah.

536
00:14:56,495 --> 00:14:56,961
MIKE: Okay, so you're
saying on the rubber seal

537
00:14:57,029 --> 00:14:57,362
around the window...

538
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:59,030
MARY: Yeah.

539
00:14:59,232 --> 00:14:59,563
ROBBIE: Where's white here,
there's white right there,

540
00:14:59,632 --> 00:15:00,965
white right here.

541
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:02,634
SARAH: Yeah, I think taking
a look for, I mean,

542
00:15:02,836 --> 00:15:04,702
my dad was all about original.

543
00:15:04,771 --> 00:15:06,304
So that's what I,
I always heard.

544
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:08,238
MARY: Ooh...

545
00:15:08,308 --> 00:15:09,907
RICH (ON PHONE): And it's-it's
totally plausible for that to

546
00:15:09,976 --> 00:15:11,309
have been painted
multiple times, I mean...

547
00:15:11,511 --> 00:15:12,310
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.

548
00:15:12,379 --> 00:15:14,178
RICH (ON PHONE): You
know, it's-it's normal.

549
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,847
But those are the things that
are going to drive your price

550
00:15:16,049 --> 00:15:18,316
to say it's a very,
very big difference...

551
00:15:18,385 --> 00:15:19,450
ROBBIE: Right.

552
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:20,318
RICH (ON PHONE): between
original paint survivor...

553
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:21,986
ROBBIE: Yeah.

554
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:22,453
RICH (ON PHONE): and
even something that's had

555
00:15:22,522 --> 00:15:23,388
1 or 2 re -sprays.

556
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:24,923
SARAH: Um-hm.

557
00:15:25,125 --> 00:15:26,457
RICH (ON PHONE): It-it all
goes into, you know,

558
00:15:26,525 --> 00:15:27,525
setting the price.

559
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:28,859
MIKE: Yeah, I gotcha.

560
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:29,594
SARAH: That was definitely
a surprise when

561
00:15:29,796 --> 00:15:32,664
the guys called their buddy.

562
00:15:32,866 --> 00:15:34,532
What are you going to do though?

563
00:15:34,734 --> 00:15:35,399
MARY: A little
overspray.

564
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:36,533
ROBBIE:
Alright.

565
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:37,201
MIKE: Alright,
brother.

566
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:37,602
MIKE & ROBBIE:
Thank you.

567
00:15:37,804 --> 00:15:39,003
SARAH: Thank you.

568
00:15:39,071 --> 00:15:39,470
RICH (ON PHONE): Alright,
hey best of luck guys,

569
00:15:39,539 --> 00:15:40,605
be safe out there.

570
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:42,006
ROBBIE:
Alright, thanks.

571
00:15:42,075 --> 00:15:42,740
MIKE: It's a little bit hard
to break the news to

572
00:15:42,809 --> 00:15:44,542
somebody that what they have...

573
00:15:44,744 --> 00:15:46,077
isn't what they thought.

574
00:15:46,146 --> 00:15:48,012
But on the other hand, it's
good to let them know that

575
00:15:48,081 --> 00:15:50,547
it's not, because now they
can represent the car

576
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:51,949
the way it should be.

577
00:15:52,018 --> 00:15:53,751
SARAH: We should call
my cousin, tell him too.

578
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:57,088
He has helped us like,
price things out,

579
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:58,957
and I don't know if he knows
that it's been repainted either.

580
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:01,692
MARY: My nephew is interested
in-in the Porsche,

581
00:16:01,761 --> 00:16:04,696
because he remembers
it as a kid.

582
00:16:04,898 --> 00:16:06,897
And so he has some
attachment to it.

583
00:16:06,967 --> 00:16:08,766
MIKE: What did he say
the number was on it?

584
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:10,634
SARAH: Like...
20 to 30-really like,

585
00:16:10,704 --> 00:16:12,770
he-he's calling from Colorado.

586
00:16:12,838 --> 00:16:13,370
MIKE: Yeah, same
thing my guy said.

587
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:15,039
ROBBIE: Yeah.

588
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:15,439
MIKE: I like the car a lot,
I think it's a solid car.

589
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:17,041
MARY: Um-hm.

590
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:19,043
MIKE: I mean, I can physically
see it where Rich can't.

591
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:20,244
And it does hurt it a lot
that it's been repainted,

592
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:23,380
but what everybody wants right
now it's the survivor car.

593
00:16:23,449 --> 00:16:25,049
SARAH: Um-hm.

594
00:16:25,118 --> 00:16:26,184
MIKE: You know, even more
so than something restored,

595
00:16:26,386 --> 00:16:26,584
you know.

596
00:16:26,786 --> 00:16:27,985
MARY: Um-hm.

597
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:28,786
MIKE: They-they want
to be able to enjoy it,

598
00:16:28,854 --> 00:16:29,653
they want to be
able to drive it.

599
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:31,255
I'd be, I'd be in it 20,000.

600
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:32,991
MARY: Um-hm.

601
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:41,732
MARY: $20,000 was not enough
for the Porsche. Um...

602
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:42,934
SARAH: That's
pretty much it.

603
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:45,669
SARAH: I think I'll
have to wait, I think,

604
00:16:45,738 --> 00:16:47,338
and call my cousin and see.

605
00:16:47,407 --> 00:16:49,073
ROBBIE: Yeah.

606
00:16:49,142 --> 00:16:50,675
MIKE: I think there's been
conversation about a family

607
00:16:50,743 --> 00:16:51,876
member that wants the car.

608
00:16:51,945 --> 00:16:53,811
And now with the price
point that it's at,

609
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,013
I think that's where
it's going to go.

638

ROBBIE: There's
actually an extra tank.

639
00:17:44,798 --> 00:17:45,796
He must have bought
an extra tank,

640
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:46,663
'cause he couldn't
get enough hours,

641

is for your tank.

ROBBIE: You know, this is
an Enduro dirt bike,

I was fearless.

a license plate on it?

Is it off-road, off road...?

these things have

become more and more desirable.

know, if it's running.

660
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,094
MARY: Jim joined a motorcycle
club in high school.

come over and take a look.

It was a way that he could
get away from his mom and dad.

664

ROBBIE: This, this
doesn't look like it's

00:18:24,771 --> 00:18:25,502
been out of the shop in...

he was in a cast up to his...

668
00:18:29,842 --> 00:18:30,975
MARY: His whole
senior year, yeah.

669
00:18:31,177 --> 00:18:32,910

they'd go for 800 to 1,000.

00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:35,579
ROBBIE: Yep. I'd want to
be at like 600 on it.

up any more?

call, Mom.

00:18:45,725 --> 00:18:47,858
ROBBIE: It
kicks through.

676
00:18:47,927 --> 00:18:48,793
If it kicks through,
I can make it run.

677
00:18:48,861 --> 00:18:51,596
MARY: And you'll
take it out of here?

678
00:18:51,664 --> 00:18:54,598
It's giving me a little...

679
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:56,000
SARAH: 6-and-
a-quarter.

680
00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:58,336
ROBBIE: 6-and-a-quarter,
and I get it out of here.

681
00:18:58,538 --> 00:18:59,604
SARAH: Go for it.

682
00:18:59,672 --> 00:19:00,271
MARY: Okay, Robbie. Enjoy.

683
00:19:00,339 --> 00:19:00,671
ROBBIE: Alright, thank you.

684
00:19:00,739 --> 00:19:01,739
MARY: Enjoy.

685
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:02,940
ROBBIE: Thank
you, thank you.

686
00:19:03,008 --> 00:19:03,274
ROBBIE: I'm not surprised
to find this here.

687
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:04,741
ROBBIE: Ugh!

688
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:05,743
ROBBIE: This is
where you want to

689
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:06,343
be riding these in California.

690
00:19:06,412 --> 00:19:07,812
ROBBIE: Bam!

691
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:09,413
MARY: You guys might be
interested in his container.

692
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:10,948
MIKE: Absolutely.

693
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:13,684
SARAH: I don't think
we've ever been in here.

694
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:16,988
ROBBIE: There
you go. Damn...

695
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:18,689
MIKE: Oh wow...

696
00:19:18,758 --> 00:19:19,290
ROBBIE: Whoa! Let
me get in here.

697
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:21,292
MIKE: Alright...

698
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:22,693
SARAH: Oh shh...

699
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:24,361
MIKE: Here, does
this open up more?

700
00:19:24,430 --> 00:19:25,429
MARY: Stuck...

701
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:26,163
SARAH: Um, it's...

702
00:19:26,232 --> 00:19:26,630
ROBBIE: It won't
open any further.

703
00:19:26,699 --> 00:19:28,832
MIKE: Oh yeah...

704
00:19:28,902 --> 00:19:30,301
ROBBIE: With the-with
the chain on it...

705
00:19:30,370 --> 00:19:31,435
SARAH: Oh...

706
00:19:31,638 --> 00:19:32,502
MARY: Oh
there it is.

707
00:19:32,572 --> 00:19:33,304
MIKE: There
it is.

708
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:34,171
ROBBIE: Yeah.

709
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,106
SARAH: That was
in my dad's house,

710
00:19:35,174 --> 00:19:36,307
that was their dining
room table lamp.

711
00:19:36,376 --> 00:19:37,574
MIKE: Yeah!

712
00:19:37,643 --> 00:19:38,309
MARY: His
childhood, yeah.

713
00:19:38,378 --> 00:19:39,510
SARAH: Yeah.

714
00:19:39,578 --> 00:19:40,912
MIKE: Look at that.

715
00:19:41,114 --> 00:19:42,179
SARAH: Wow, I haven't seen
that since I was 2.

716
00:19:42,248 --> 00:19:43,781
I thought we got rid of that,
like I thought that got left

717
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:46,383
outside in the rain,
but here it is.

718
00:19:46,653 --> 00:19:47,718
MIKE: Would
you sell this?

719
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,385
MARY: I got to check
with my cousin.

720
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:49,386
SARAH: [laughs]

721
00:19:49,455 --> 00:19:52,923
MIKE: Really! Dang! Your
cousin has great taste.

722
00:19:52,992 --> 00:19:53,924
MIKE: People that don't
understand the mind

723
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:55,526
of a collector look
around a space like this

724
00:19:55,594 --> 00:19:57,595
and they see clutter.

725
00:19:57,797 --> 00:19:58,996
That's not what it's about.

726
00:19:59,065 --> 00:19:59,730
MIKE: Look at all this base...
more baseball cards.

727
00:19:59,932 --> 00:20:02,266
ROBBIE: Man, look
at... these...

728
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:03,668
MARY: Oh...

729
00:20:03,736 --> 00:20:04,935
MIKE: Just because your ideas,
your ambition, your creativity,

730
00:20:05,004 --> 00:20:07,738
your mission, outweigh
the space that you have,

731
00:20:07,807 --> 00:20:10,807
doesn't mean that
you need to stop.

732
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:11,809
MIKE: Hey, how about
this mini bike?

733
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:13,477
Is your cousin
interested in that?

734
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,678
SARAH: Let's take a look.

735
00:20:14,747 --> 00:20:15,746
MIKE: The easy
way to say that,

736
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:18,882
is sometimes a
collector's eye...

737
00:20:18,952 --> 00:20:20,417
MIKE: is just way bigger
than their space.

738
00:20:20,486 --> 00:20:21,285
ROBBIE: Alright...

739
00:20:21,354 --> 00:20:22,420
SARAH: Cool.

740
00:20:22,622 --> 00:20:23,353
ROBBIE: Look at that.

741
00:20:23,422 --> 00:20:23,754
MARY: Oh wow.

742
00:20:23,823 --> 00:20:24,422
MIKE: Yeah.

743
00:20:24,624 --> 00:20:25,355
SARAH: That's awesome.

744
00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:25,756
ROBBIE: A Zebra!

745
00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:26,290
SARAH: Love it.

746
00:20:26,492 --> 00:20:27,090
MIKE: Oh yeah.

747
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:28,092
This is a desert
sled right here.

748
00:20:28,161 --> 00:20:30,027
ROBBIE: When Mike and I
were growing up as kids,

749
00:20:30,096 --> 00:20:33,698
we had mini bikes, we had
cruisers, we had go-karts.

750
00:20:33,766 --> 00:20:35,766
That was the fun thing you did.

751
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:36,900
MIKE: What are you
thinking, Robbie?

752
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:38,102
ROBBIE: There's a lot of
guys that collect these.

753
00:20:38,170 --> 00:20:40,571
ROBBIE: I remember the day I
jumped 13 garbage cans,

754
00:20:40,773 --> 00:20:42,006
I was on top of the world!

755
00:20:43,376 --> 00:20:44,375
MIKE: $300.

756
00:20:44,444 --> 00:20:46,377
MARY: Well, you did work
really hard to get it out.

757
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:46,710
MIKE: Yeah.

758
00:20:46,779 --> 00:20:47,377
MARY: 300.

759
00:20:47,446 --> 00:20:49,180
MIKE: Thank you.

760
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:50,848
MIKE: All of these pieces and
parts that are around this

761
00:20:51,050 --> 00:20:53,050
property, whether they're
inside or outside,

762
00:20:53,118 --> 00:20:56,787
are moments that inspired
him in one way or another.

763
00:20:56,855 --> 00:20:57,521
ROBBIE: Hey, did
you guys camp a lot?

764
00:20:57,724 --> 00:20:58,989
MARY: Yeah.
SARAH: Yes.

765
00:20:59,058 --> 00:21:00,925
MIKE: Isn't that something
that we all dream of?

766
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:03,394
Having a space that
fuels our imagination.

767
00:21:03,996 --> 00:21:05,396
ROBBIE: There's only
like, maybe 30 or 40

768
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:06,931
of these back there.

769
00:21:06,999 --> 00:21:08,799
ROBBIE: Early Coleman
lanterns are highly

770
00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:10,867
desirable and
highly collectible.

771
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:11,869
The ones that have
the rounder cylinders.

772
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:13,671
ROBBIE: Early cook
stove, I like those.

773
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:15,339
Earlier ones always demand more.

774
00:21:15,408 --> 00:21:16,874
SARAH: Um-hm.

775
00:21:17,076 --> 00:21:19,543
ROBBIE: I'd do 100 on
this one, 25 on that,

776
00:21:19,746 --> 00:21:21,679
25 on the...
cook stove.

777
00:21:21,881 --> 00:21:26,283
And the 275
I'd do... 35 bucks.

778
00:21:26,352 --> 00:21:26,884
SARAH: 185.

779
00:21:27,086 --> 00:21:27,618
ROBBIE: Man, you're quick.

780
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:29,987
SARAH: Let's
do... 200?

781
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:31,622
200.

782
00:21:31,691 --> 00:21:32,623
I'm making the
deal. [laughs]

783
00:21:32,825 --> 00:21:33,357
ROBBIE: I'm
shaking your hand.

784
00:21:33,425 --> 00:21:35,026
MARY: Okay.

785
00:21:35,228 --> 00:21:37,695
MIKE: Alright, I saw this
car, this '71 when we came in.

786
00:21:37,897 --> 00:21:39,630
ROBBIE: It's a Type
3 station wagon,

787
00:21:39,698 --> 00:21:40,964
these are pretty desirable.

788
00:21:41,034 --> 00:21:43,167
MIKE: Yeah, this interior
in this thing's bad, man.

789
00:21:43,369 --> 00:21:44,001
Peh...

790
00:21:45,305 --> 00:21:46,971
ROBBIE: You know, there's a lot
of money that would have to go

791
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:47,905
back into this thing, to
get it back on the road.

792
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:50,174
But I understand why
my brother wants it.

793
00:21:50,243 --> 00:21:52,176
MIKE: I mean, with the interior
work that needs to be done,

794
00:21:52,245 --> 00:21:56,013
the floor work, you know, I'd
be a player at like, like 3,000.

795
00:21:57,250 --> 00:22:01,585
SARAH: Hmm... I think I got
to save it for my cousin.

796
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:02,319
I think my cousin wants it.

797
00:22:02,388 --> 00:22:03,654
MIKE: Ugh!

798
00:22:03,723 --> 00:22:05,389
MARY: [laughs]
Great little...

799
00:22:05,457 --> 00:22:06,657
SARAH: Yeah...

800
00:22:06,859 --> 00:22:07,591
MIKE: Your cousin
has good taste.

801
00:22:07,794 --> 00:22:08,992
ROBBIE: He's
got good taste.

802
00:22:09,062 --> 00:22:09,459
MIKE: Your cousin has good
taste in cars, obviously.

803
00:22:09,528 --> 00:22:11,128
ROBBIE: Yeah.

804
00:22:11,197 --> 00:22:12,129
MIKE: Her father's passions
created connections for Sarah.

805
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:14,998
Now that she's literally
walking in his footsteps,

806
00:22:15,068 --> 00:22:18,002
I think she realizes how
much she's like her father,

807
00:22:18,204 --> 00:22:21,072
and how hard it can be to
let some of these things go.

808
00:22:21,541 --> 00:22:22,406
MIKE: Here we go.

809
00:22:22,475 --> 00:22:23,941
SARAH: Alright.

00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:25,343

a very interesting day,

00:22:25,545 --> 00:22:26,343

00:22:26,945 --> 00:22:27,345

people to have, you know,

part of his collection,
even though you know,

818
00:22:33,152 --> 00:22:36,487
he would had us, you know,
triple our prices, but...

819
00:22:36,555 --> 00:22:37,421
MARY: Yes, at least.

820
00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:38,155

putting up with us.

00:23:23,802 --> 00:23:24,668
ROBBIE: 100 years
of collecting?

847
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:26,336
DANIELLE: I said
almost 100 years.

848
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:27,938
ROBBIE: Oh.

849
00:23:28,007 --> 00:23:28,405
MIKE: That's going to
be me and Robbie, man.

850
00:23:28,474 --> 00:23:30,207
ROBBIE: Yeah.

851
00:23:30,276 --> 00:23:31,675
DANIELLE: Really, if you break
it down between the 2 of you,

852
00:23:31,878 --> 00:23:33,744
you have 100 years
of collecting.

853
00:23:33,813 --> 00:23:34,745
MIKE: What kind of
stuff is he into?

854
00:23:34,947 --> 00:23:35,679
What is he-what did
he specialize in?

855
00:23:35,882 --> 00:23:37,614
DANIELLE: I mean,
he loves coin-op,

856
00:23:37,683 --> 00:23:38,883
he's got tons of coin-op.

857
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:39,750
MIKE: So he's probably
been to Chicago then.

858
00:23:39,819 --> 00:23:41,952
DANIELLE: Oh yeah,
and by the way,

859
00:23:42,021 --> 00:23:43,354
he told me to get that
50 bucks you owe him too.

860
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:44,354
ROBBIE: Me?

861
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:44,755
MIKE: [laughs]

862
00:23:44,957 --> 00:23:45,556
ROBBIE: Or him?

863
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:46,824
MIKE: Alright,
sounds good.

864
00:23:46,892 --> 00:23:48,559
Send us the coordinates,
we'll hit it.

865
00:23:48,627 --> 00:23:50,561
ROBBIE: See
ya, Dani.

866
00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:51,495
MIKE: Your
door is open.

867
00:23:51,563 --> 00:23:52,963
ROBBIE:
This one?

868
00:23:53,031 --> 00:23:55,633
MIKE: Yeah, you ding-dong
idjit. There you go.

869
00:23:55,701 --> 00:23:57,301
MIKE: Right
here? Where?

870
00:23:57,503 --> 00:23:57,701
ROBBIE: Uh...

871
00:23:57,904 --> 00:23:58,569
MIKE: Okay.

872
00:23:58,637 --> 00:23:59,636
ROBBIE:
Right here?

873
00:23:59,705 --> 00:24:00,838
MIKE: Well he's
right there.

874
00:24:00,907 --> 00:24:01,571
ROBBIE: Look right
here, says right here.

875
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,372
MIKE: I know,
I see it.

876
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:04,107
ROBBIE: Peaches.

877
00:24:04,176 --> 00:24:04,775
MIKE: I know. I mean, this
is so cool to live back here

878
00:24:04,977 --> 00:24:05,776
and with all of these trees.

879
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:06,844
ROBBIE: You got to
turn right here.

880
00:24:06,913 --> 00:24:08,712
Wow, looks like he's
got an old village.

881
00:24:08,780 --> 00:24:09,380
MIKE: Oh yeah.
Oh he's got...

882
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:10,380
yeah, yeah.

883
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:11,315
Robbie: [laughs]

884
00:24:11,517 --> 00:24:11,715
MIKE: Exactly.

885
00:24:11,918 --> 00:24:12,916
[honks horn]

886
00:24:12,985 --> 00:24:15,318
MIKE: Oh yeah. I like
your little town here.

887
00:24:15,387 --> 00:24:16,653
WAYNE: Yeah.

888
00:24:16,722 --> 00:24:17,455
ROBBIE: That's
kind of cool.

889
00:24:17,657 --> 00:24:18,655
MIKE: What's
going on?

890
00:24:18,724 --> 00:24:19,589
It's good to see ya, I'm Mike.

891
00:24:19,658 --> 00:24:20,257
ROBBIE: How're
you doing?

892
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:21,325
WAYNE: Good.

893
00:24:21,527 --> 00:24:22,392
ROBBIE: Robbie. You talked
to Dani on the phone?

894
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:22,860
WAYNE: Yes I did.

895
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:23,927
ROBBIE: Alright.

896
00:24:23,996 --> 00:24:25,262
MIKE: So... how many years
at Chicago Coin-Op?

897
00:24:25,331 --> 00:24:26,864
WAYNE: 25.

898
00:24:26,933 --> 00:24:27,330
ROBBIE: Back when it
was rockin' and rollin'.

899
00:24:27,399 --> 00:24:28,866
WAYNE: Yeah.

900
00:24:28,934 --> 00:24:30,534
ROBBIE: He was in
the '60s, '70s, '80s,

901
00:24:30,736 --> 00:24:32,202
when Chicago was booming.

902
00:24:32,271 --> 00:24:34,939
All these European guys were
coming in filling up container

903
00:24:35,141 --> 00:24:36,740
loads of this stuff, and
shipping it back overseas.

904
00:24:36,808 --> 00:24:38,675
MIKE: Were you
setting up there,

905
00:24:38,744 --> 00:24:39,543
or were you just going to buy?

906
00:24:39,611 --> 00:24:40,878
WAYNE: I set up there.

907
00:24:40,947 --> 00:24:42,479
When you walked in, I
had the first booth.

908
00:24:42,548 --> 00:24:43,414
MIKE: You were inside.

909
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:44,681
WAYNE: Inside.

910
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:45,816
MIKE: Oh you
were high buck.

911
00:24:45,885 --> 00:24:46,817
WAYNE: I was one of
those lucky persons,

912
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:48,619
I never hated to go to
work in the morning,

913
00:24:48,687 --> 00:24:50,821
'cause I enjoyed what I do.

914
00:24:51,023 --> 00:24:51,488
MIKE: What about any of
these signs on the

915
00:24:51,557 --> 00:24:52,890
side of the building?

916
00:24:52,959 --> 00:24:55,025
ROBBIE: They're all sun
faded, California...

917
00:24:55,093 --> 00:24:55,425
MIKE: This thing's still,
you still roll in this?

918
00:24:55,495 --> 00:24:56,293
WAYNE: Oh yeah.

919
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:57,360
MIKE: Are ya?

920
00:24:57,429 --> 00:24:58,362
WAYNE: But the good ones
I had hanging out there,

921
00:24:58,431 --> 00:24:59,363
all got stolen.

922
00:24:59,565 --> 00:25:00,497
ROBBIE: Oh really.

923
00:25:00,566 --> 00:25:01,432
WAYNE: That's why...

924
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:02,099
ROBBIE: Really?

925
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:02,833
WAYNE: hang
drunk out there.

926
00:25:03,035 --> 00:25:03,900
MIKE: Man, look
at this, Robbie.

927
00:25:03,969 --> 00:25:05,769
ROBBIE: Oh wow. That's
big, it's a bruiser.

928
00:25:05,972 --> 00:25:07,237
MIKE: Look at the
size of that, Robbie.

929
00:25:07,306 --> 00:25:11,775
WAYNE: Jesus Saves, large neon,
with the crosses on each side,

930
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:14,778
and it says in
neon 'Jesus Saves'.

931
00:25:14,846 --> 00:25:15,646
MIKE: Where did
this come off of,

932
00:25:15,848 --> 00:25:16,713
do you know any history of it?

933
00:25:16,782 --> 00:25:18,048
WAYNE: This, this
come... yeah.

934
00:25:18,117 --> 00:25:20,918
My wife's dad put this on
their church in Kingsburg.

935
00:25:20,986 --> 00:25:23,053
WAYNE: My wife's parents
were the ministers.

936
00:25:23,122 --> 00:25:28,792
My father-in-law bought it
used in Los Angeles in '47.

937
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:29,994
WAYNE: It was all
lit up down there.

938
00:25:30,062 --> 00:25:32,396
WAYNE: My wife and I got
married in that church,

939
00:25:32,464 --> 00:25:33,930
that was 1956.

940
00:25:33,999 --> 00:25:36,733
WAYNE: When I took it
down off the building,

941
00:25:36,802 --> 00:25:38,402
somebody had broke
some of these...

942
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:39,269
I got them...

943
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:39,936
ROBBIE: Oh the letters
out of there...

944
00:25:40,005 --> 00:25:40,870
MIKE: Yeah,
yeah, yeah.

945
00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:43,006
WAYNE: And the crosses,
I think are good.

946
00:25:43,075 --> 00:25:45,209
MIKE: There's a tremendous
amount of story here.

947
00:25:45,277 --> 00:25:46,944
Wayne's history with the sign,
they know where it came from

948
00:25:47,012 --> 00:25:50,948
initially - Los Angeles,
California, in '47.

949
00:25:51,017 --> 00:25:53,750
But the biggest story, is
within the words itself.

950
00:25:53,819 --> 00:25:55,419
ROBBIE: Here, I'll
tilt it out, Mike.

951
00:25:55,621 --> 00:25:56,887
MIKE: Yeah, tilt it out.

952
00:25:57,089 --> 00:25:58,355
MIKE: The restoration
process of this sign...

953
00:25:58,424 --> 00:25:58,956
ROBBIE: And...

954
00:25:59,024 --> 00:25:59,957
MIKE: And it's worse.

955
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:01,358
MIKE: would entail a lot
more than just putting

956
00:26:01,427 --> 00:26:02,493
the neon on it.

957
00:26:02,695 --> 00:26:03,627
ROBBIE:
Needs some work.

958
00:26:03,695 --> 00:26:05,028
MIKE: Oh I
know it does.

959
00:26:05,097 --> 00:26:08,032
MIKE: You want the lettering
to be seen from somewhat

960
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,768
of a distance, because this
is such a big sign,

961
00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:13,037
it's going to be up
and away from you.

962
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:15,906
And you want to be able to
see more than just the neon.

963
00:26:15,975 --> 00:26:17,374
MIKE: There's no pane on
the back of this either,

964
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:19,175
on the crosses.

965
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:20,978
MIKE: It's going to need to be
painted in a way that shows

966
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:23,580
its age, but doesn't take
it to the next level

967
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:25,048
where it looks restored.

968
00:26:25,384 --> 00:26:27,050
MIKE: 2,800.

969
00:26:27,653 --> 00:26:28,652
WAYNE: That's-that's fair.

970
00:26:28,854 --> 00:26:29,853
MIKE: Alright,
man, I'm doing it.

971
00:26:30,056 --> 00:26:31,855
MIKE: Imagine this sign on
top of the church,

972
00:26:32,058 --> 00:26:36,326
double -sided, neon, how
bright that would be.

973
00:26:36,395 --> 00:26:37,728
MIKE: Woo!

974
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,597
ROBBIE: It was like
a deep grey-ish

975
00:26:40,666 --> 00:26:42,399
blue or something white...

976
00:26:42,601 --> 00:26:43,533
MIKE: Yeah. Awesome.

977
00:26:43,603 --> 00:26:46,336
MIKE: I mean, it would be a
beacon to the community.

978
00:26:46,405 --> 00:26:47,338
MIKE: Alright.

979
00:26:47,540 --> 00:26:48,739
ROBBIE: Alright, what
else are we looking at?

980
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:49,607
WAYNE: Well, got
a little trunk.

981
00:26:49,809 --> 00:26:50,274
ROBBIE: Man, you
got some cars.

982
00:26:50,476 --> 00:26:51,875
MIKE: Yeah.

983
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:54,478
Nice T-Bird. What's
up with the T-Bird?

984
00:26:54,547 --> 00:26:55,613
I got to ask on that.

985
00:26:55,815 --> 00:26:57,615
WAYNE: I just haven't figured
out a number on it yet.

986
00:26:57,817 --> 00:26:58,948
MIKE: It's a
California car.

987
00:26:59,018 --> 00:27:00,818
I'm sure if you finally
put a number on it,

988
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:02,419
it's probably going
to stay in California.

989
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:03,420
MIKE: This is cool, man.

990
00:27:03,488 --> 00:27:05,755
[engine starts]

991
00:27:05,824 --> 00:27:06,423
MIKE: No matter
how old you are...

992
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:08,292
MIKE: It sounds mean.

993
00:27:08,494 --> 00:27:09,292
ROBBIE: Yeah.

994
00:27:09,362 --> 00:27:10,494
MIKE: you always have
that need for speed.

995
00:27:10,562 --> 00:27:11,361
MIKE: Oh a Cushman.

996
00:27:11,430 --> 00:27:12,629
ROBBIE: Cushman.

997
00:27:12,698 --> 00:27:13,030
MIKE: You rode
a Cushman?

998
00:27:13,098 --> 00:27:13,763
WAYNE: Yeah.

999
00:27:13,832 --> 00:27:14,498
MIKE: Nice little
step through.

1000
00:27:14,566 --> 00:27:15,432
ROBBIE: Turtle back.

1001
00:27:15,501 --> 00:27:16,966
WAYNE: That's a '48.

1002
00:27:17,036 --> 00:27:17,434
MIKE: So what's going on
with this ride here, man?

1003
00:27:17,502 --> 00:27:18,835
This is nice.

1004
00:27:18,904 --> 00:27:21,038
WAYNE: That one was
restored in '59...

1005
00:27:21,107 --> 00:27:24,908
MIKE: So in 1959, where
did you scrape up the cash?

1006
00:27:24,977 --> 00:27:27,645
WAYNE: We had a fruit
stand up on Highway 41

1007
00:27:27,847 --> 00:27:29,713
right at the Bass Lake turn-off.

1008
00:27:29,781 --> 00:27:30,514
MIKE: You and
your family did?

1009
00:27:30,583 --> 00:27:31,314
WAYNE: Me
and my wife.

1010
00:27:31,384 --> 00:27:32,382
MIKE: Okay.

1011
00:27:32,451 --> 00:27:33,783
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1012
00:27:33,852 --> 00:27:34,852
WAYNE: And I sold
antiques there too.

1013
00:27:35,054 --> 00:27:35,318
MIKE: So you had a fruit
stand and antique stand.

1014
00:27:35,388 --> 00:27:37,054
WAYNE: Right.

1015
00:27:37,123 --> 00:27:38,922
MIKE: I've traveled a lot of
years, and a lot of miles,

1016
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:41,992
and I've never seen a
fruit stand antique shop.

1017
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:43,526
MIKE: That's awesome,
because you have a lot of

1018
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:44,394
travelers coming through.

1019
00:27:44,463 --> 00:27:44,928
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.

1020
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:46,063
WAYNE: Going to Yosemite.

1021
00:27:46,265 --> 00:27:49,466
MIKE: That, comes from the
mind of a young entrepreneur

1022
00:27:49,535 --> 00:27:50,934
that sees opportunity.

1023
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:53,003
MIKE: What kind of things
were you selling then?

1024
00:27:53,205 --> 00:27:54,805
WAYNE: I sold, back then I
would sell a lot of Edison

1025
00:27:54,873 --> 00:27:57,340
cylinder phonographs
and music boxes.

1026
00:27:57,410 --> 00:27:58,475
MIKE: Really?

1027
00:27:58,544 --> 00:28:00,144
So you were out buying
antiques, getting the fruit,

1028
00:28:00,212 --> 00:28:02,412
coming back, and then, and
you'd setting up the stand.

1029
00:28:02,481 --> 00:28:03,280
WAYNE: Right.

1030
00:28:03,482 --> 00:28:05,015
MIKE: Imagine going to a
bank now and saying,

1031
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:09,285
'I want to open a fruit stand
/Victrola antique shop.'

1032
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:10,353
[chuckles]

1033
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:12,489
WAYNE: And I had a good
business in the Bay Area.

1034
00:28:12,558 --> 00:28:13,290
MIKE: An antique shop?

1035
00:28:13,492 --> 00:28:14,491
WAYNE: Antiques.

1036
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:15,892
From Tom Freddy in Iowa,

1037
00:28:15,961 --> 00:28:19,830
I bought his music box
phonograph collection.

1038
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,298
MIKE: Where-what-
where-what part of Iowa?

1039
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:22,699
WAYNE: Manly.

1040
00:28:22,768 --> 00:28:23,367
MIKE: And how many
pieces was it?

1041
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:24,367
WAYNE: 700.

1042
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:25,502
MIKE: Really!

1043
00:28:25,571 --> 00:28:26,369
ROBBIE:
700 pieces.

1044
00:28:26,438 --> 00:28:27,037
WAYNE: Right.

1045
00:28:27,239 --> 00:28:27,905
MIKE: And what-
and what...

1046
00:28:27,973 --> 00:28:28,839
what type of collection was it?

1047
00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:30,707
WAYNE: It was all
Edison phonographs.

1048
00:28:30,776 --> 00:28:31,908
ROBBIE: This guy
took the risk.

1049
00:28:31,977 --> 00:28:36,113
I mean, he was buying up
700 pieces in the 1960s.

1050
00:28:36,315 --> 00:28:39,116
He's got a family at home,
he's got to answer to his wife.

1051
00:28:39,184 --> 00:28:42,719
'Hey honey, I just went out
and spent 7,500 bucks.'

1052
00:28:42,788 --> 00:28:44,120
I know what my wife
would have said.

1053
00:28:44,189 --> 00:28:47,991
WAYNE: Anyway, a guy walked
in my store in the '60s from

1054
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:51,861
Japan, and he wanted to
start buying phonographs.

1055
00:28:51,930 --> 00:28:54,932
And for about 15 years,
I sold him a lot.

1056
00:28:55,134 --> 00:28:57,868
WAYNE: My biggest customer
lived in Osaka, Japan.

1057
00:28:58,070 --> 00:29:01,204
And he owned a world
famous tea house there.

1058
00:29:01,273 --> 00:29:03,407
WAYNE: You know, he would pay
double what I could get here.

1059
00:29:03,475 --> 00:29:04,341
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1060
00:29:04,410 --> 00:29:05,542
MIKE: Oh yeah.

1061
00:29:05,610 --> 00:29:06,610
ROBBIE: Well... yeah.

1062
00:29:06,679 --> 00:29:07,344
WAYNE: And I would take
everything to Nippon Express

1063
00:29:07,546 --> 00:29:08,345
in San Francisco.

1064
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:09,279
MIKE: Yep.

1065
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:10,814
WAYNE: And he'd air
-freight everything.

1066
00:29:11,016 --> 00:29:11,948
MIKE: Guys that have
been in the business

1067
00:29:12,017 --> 00:29:13,951
for as long as Wayne has,
have the best stories.

1068
00:29:14,019 --> 00:29:16,019
You know, it's either
the one that got away,

1069
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:19,757
the big deal that went
south, or the big deal that

1070
00:29:19,959 --> 00:29:20,991
changed their life
and their business.

1071
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:22,960
MIKE: Alright...

1072
00:29:23,162 --> 00:29:23,827
ROBBIE: What
do you got?

1073
00:29:23,896 --> 00:29:25,028
MIKE: I think it's
a Nativity scene.

1074
00:29:25,097 --> 00:29:27,096
ROBBIE: This guy was self
-made, off of a gut feeling.

1075
00:29:27,166 --> 00:29:30,767
Not too many people can do
what he did in his lifetime.

1076
00:29:30,836 --> 00:29:31,969
ROBBIE: I'll put
this thing down here.

1077
00:29:32,037 --> 00:29:32,436
MIKE: I got some other
stuff I want to hand ya.

1078
00:29:32,638 --> 00:29:34,371
Look at that. Alright...

1079
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,505
ROBBIE: I got it.

1080
00:29:35,574 --> 00:29:35,906
MIKE: I got this seat...

1081
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:36,907
ROBBIE: I got it.

1082
00:29:36,976 --> 00:29:37,974
MIKE: When I first started
in this business,

1083
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:40,577
I could go out and fill
my truck up for 50 bucks.

1084
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:41,311
ROBBIE: Got
anything else?

1085
00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:42,379
MIKE: Ready?

1086
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:43,446
ROBBIE: Yep.

1087
00:29:43,516 --> 00:29:44,915
MIKE: And a lot of the things
that I was buying out

1088
00:29:44,984 --> 00:29:46,917
of those Iowa barns were
things that needed to

1089
00:29:46,985 --> 00:29:50,053
be repurposed, like
these Victrola horns.

1090
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:53,390
MIKE: People are actually
using these for lampshades.

1091
00:29:53,592 --> 00:29:54,257
Have you seen that?

1092
00:29:54,326 --> 00:29:55,525
WAYNE: No.

1093
00:29:55,594 --> 00:29:56,326
MIKE: Where they're hanging
from the ceiling like this...

1094
00:29:56,395 --> 00:29:57,261
WAYNE: Yeah?

1095
00:29:57,463 --> 00:29:58,395
MIKE: they got an
Edison bulb hanging down.

1096
00:29:58,463 --> 00:29:58,795
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1097
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:00,130
WAYNE: Okay.

1098
00:30:00,198 --> 00:30:01,331
MIKE: So we got these 2
horns, you got scary Santa...

1099
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,866
ROBBIE: And...

1100
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:04,334
MIKE: the Nativity
scene, and that flag.

1101
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:05,802
WAYNE: Yeah.

1102
00:30:05,871 --> 00:30:06,603
MIKE: And the other
side of this deal

1103
00:30:06,805 --> 00:30:07,671
that's going to sell really

1104
00:30:07,873 --> 00:30:09,806
well, is the
unusual and bizarre,

1105
00:30:09,875 --> 00:30:11,674
like these deconstructed
Santa Clauses.

1106
00:30:11,743 --> 00:30:12,743
MIKE: What are
you thinking?

1107
00:30:12,945 --> 00:30:13,343
WAYNE: To me, I
think this is junk.

1108
00:30:13,412 --> 00:30:14,945
MIKE: [laughs]

1109
00:30:15,013 --> 00:30:16,880
WAYNE: So just give
me a bid on all of it.

1110
00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:18,682
MIKE: So Wayne is like, I
can't believe these

1111
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:19,749
guys even want this stuff.

1112
00:30:19,819 --> 00:30:22,352
And I'm thinking,
I can't get enough.

1113
00:30:22,421 --> 00:30:23,353
MIKE: 200 bucks.

1114
00:30:23,421 --> 00:30:24,554
WAYNE: Fine.

1115
00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:25,822
MIKE: [chuckles]
Alright.

1116
00:30:25,891 --> 00:30:27,958
MIKE: This is the beauty
of this business.

1117
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,294
One guy sees junk, and the
other guy sees potential.

1118
00:30:31,363 --> 00:30:35,766
♪ ♪ ♪

1119
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:37,100
MIKE: Can we walk
around the front?

1120
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:38,301
I want to see the façade of
this building that you did.

1121
00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:39,703
WAYNE: Sure.

1122
00:30:39,905 --> 00:30:40,303
MIKE: Oh you got
more signs here too.

1123
00:30:40,372 --> 00:30:41,771
WAYNE: Yeah.

1124
00:30:41,841 --> 00:30:42,439
MIKE: What about the
Golden Glow beer?

1125
00:30:42,508 --> 00:30:43,707
That's kind of cool.

1126
00:30:43,909 --> 00:30:46,843
MIKE: Golden Glow Beer is from
one of our neighboring states -

1127
00:30:46,912 --> 00:30:50,847
Wisconsin. Specifically,
Monroe, Wisconsin.

1128
00:30:50,916 --> 00:30:54,918
MIKE: It's the afterglow.
Gold Glow beer.

1129
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,721
MIKE: It's so cool to see
this hometown honey all

1130
00:30:57,923 --> 00:31:00,590
the way out here on
the West Coast.

1131
00:31:00,659 --> 00:31:01,458
MIKE: It's
a rare sign.

1132
00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:02,592
Have you ever seen it?

1133
00:31:02,661 --> 00:31:03,793
ROBBIE: I've
never seen that.

1134
00:31:03,863 --> 00:31:04,328
MIKE: I've never seen
that sign either.

1135
00:31:04,396 --> 00:31:05,462
300 bucks?

1136
00:31:05,664 --> 00:31:06,997
WAYNE: How
about 350?

1137
00:31:07,066 --> 00:31:08,932
MIKE: I mean, I think I can
put something on there

1138
00:31:09,001 --> 00:31:10,333
to bring the colors
out in it a little bit.

1139
00:31:10,402 --> 00:31:11,602
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1140
00:31:11,804 --> 00:31:12,269
MIKE: So I'm
going to do that.

1141
00:31:12,471 --> 00:31:13,670
WAYNE: Okay.

1142
00:31:13,739 --> 00:31:14,404
MIKE: Alright
man, thank you.

1143
00:31:14,473 --> 00:31:15,539
WAYNE: Thank you.

1144
00:31:15,607 --> 00:31:16,606
ROBBIE: I got to ask,
because this was the place,

1145
00:31:16,675 --> 00:31:17,407
that's where I started at.

1146
00:31:17,475 --> 00:31:18,742
A&W root beer.

1147
00:31:18,811 --> 00:31:20,343
My mom said I had
to go get a job...

1148
00:31:20,412 --> 00:31:21,678
MIKE: [chuckles]

1149
00:31:21,747 --> 00:31:22,946
ROBBIE: that's
where it was.

1150
00:31:23,148 --> 00:31:24,214
ROBBIE: The A&W sign brings
me back to my youth.

1151
00:31:24,283 --> 00:31:28,551
I'm basically 14 years old,
I'm riding my bicycle, where?

1152
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:30,754
To work, at A&W root beer.

1153
00:31:30,822 --> 00:31:31,554
ROBBIE: And this
is back in the day

1154
00:31:31,624 --> 00:31:33,290
when they had the roller

1155
00:31:33,358 --> 00:31:35,025
skating ladies still, that went
out and served you on the tray.

1156
00:31:35,094 --> 00:31:37,761
It was an old A&W that was
downtown Bettendorf, Iowa.

1157
00:31:37,963 --> 00:31:39,495
MIKE: I love that
you bought that, man.

1158
00:31:39,564 --> 00:31:40,897
ROBBIE: It's
awesome.

1159
00:31:40,966 --> 00:31:42,099
MIKE: That you saw-
'cause a lot of people,

1160
00:31:42,167 --> 00:31:44,634
they would just let that
thing get scrapped, you know.

1161
00:31:44,703 --> 00:31:46,503
WAYNE: I love
A&W root beer.

1162
00:31:46,572 --> 00:31:47,236
MIKE: You
and me both.

1163
00:31:47,306 --> 00:31:47,637
ROBBIE: Oh you
and me both.

1164
00:31:47,706 --> 00:31:48,905
MIKE: Yeah.

1165
00:31:48,974 --> 00:31:49,373
You're making me want
a float right now.

1166
00:31:49,575 --> 00:31:50,907
ROBBIE: Right now.

1167
00:31:50,976 --> 00:31:51,308
WAYNE: Well, I've got
some in the house.

1168
00:31:51,377 --> 00:31:52,309
MIKE: Do ya?

1169
00:31:52,511 --> 00:31:53,577
[group laughing]

1170
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:57,780
ROBBIE: Uhh... 500 bucks.

1171
00:31:57,849 --> 00:32:00,984
WAYNE: Uh, how about
5-and-a-quarter?

1172
00:32:04,723 --> 00:32:06,523
MIKE: Is the
bottom rotted?

1173
00:32:06,591 --> 00:32:07,257
ROBBIE: A little bit.

1174
00:32:07,459 --> 00:32:08,057
It's been sitting
down there, but...

1175
00:32:08,126 --> 00:32:08,792
MIKE: It's a
great piece, man.

1176
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:09,393
ROBBIE: It's
a great piece.

1177
00:32:09,595 --> 00:32:10,727
MIKE: Oh my gosh...

1178
00:32:10,796 --> 00:32:11,662
ROBBIE: Yeah. 5
-and-a-quarter.

1179
00:32:11,864 --> 00:32:12,662
MIKE: Alright, he'll
do it, 5-and-a-quarter.

1180
00:32:12,731 --> 00:32:12,996
ROBBIE: Alright.
Thanks, man.

1181
00:32:18,737 --> 00:32:20,670
MIKE: Alright.
Oh my gosh!

1182
00:32:20,739 --> 00:32:22,806
So this is your true passion.

1183
00:32:22,875 --> 00:32:25,342
WAYNE: Yep. Phonographs
and music boxes.

1184
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:26,476
MIKE: Wow.

1185
00:32:26,545 --> 00:32:28,344
ROBBIE: This is Willy Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory.

1186
00:32:28,413 --> 00:32:29,212
MIKE: Yeah.

1187
00:32:29,281 --> 00:32:30,347
[laughs]

1188
00:32:30,549 --> 00:32:31,615
ROBBIE: Holy cow.

1189
00:32:31,683 --> 00:32:33,016
MIKE: Obviously Wayne is a guy
that likes his cars fast;

1190
00:32:33,218 --> 00:32:36,620
he likes to slow down a
little bit on the dance floor.

1191
00:32:36,822 --> 00:32:38,354
MIKE: What's a
rare one in here?

1192
00:32:38,423 --> 00:32:39,689
WAYNE: This one.

1193
00:32:39,758 --> 00:32:41,691
That phonograph will sell today,

1194
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,627
in today's market
for about 6,500.

1195
00:32:44,696 --> 00:32:45,362
MIKE: Okay.
Does it work?

1196
00:32:45,431 --> 00:32:46,896
WAYNE: Oh yeah.

1197
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,565
WAYNE: I learned all
about the inventors when

1198
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:49,700
I was in grade school.

1199
00:32:49,902 --> 00:32:52,969
Thomas Edison and
all the inventors,

1200
00:32:53,038 --> 00:32:55,772
and it amazed me that he
could make a phonograph,

1201
00:32:55,841 --> 00:32:58,374
make it play, without
any electricity.

happen overnight.

with Edison's voice on it.

MIKE: Wow...

1220
00:33:37,882 --> 00:33:39,015
MIKE: It was earned
the hard way,

1221
00:33:39,084 --> 00:33:41,885
and it's obviously something
that he still enjoys.

1222

MIKE: What's the value
of something like this?

1223
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:44,754
Since it's got wood on it.

this... this
brass one.

1227

that's a cheap one.

1228
00:33:50,428 --> 00:33:51,828
MIKE: Yeah?

1229
00:33:51,896 --> 00:33:53,362
WAYNE: On the market,
bring about 200.

1230
00:33:53,432 --> 00:33:54,097

ROBBIE: Really,
that's it?

00:33:54,566 --> 00:33:55,698

00:33:55,768 --> 00:33:56,366

does this work?

1234
00:33:56,435 --> 00:33:57,366

00:33:57,436 --> 00:33:58,368
MIKE: 200 bucks?

1236
00:33:58,436 --> 00:33:58,969
WAYNE: Yeah.

1237
00:33:59,171 --> 00:33:59,369
MIKE: That's
what they bring?

1238
00:33:59,571 --> 00:34:00,837
WAYNE: Yeah.

1239
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:01,304
MIKE: Alright, well
I'm-I'm taking it, man.

1240
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:02,906
WAYNE: Okay.

1241
00:34:02,975 --> 00:34:03,906
MIKE: Because the thing
is, see I'm-I'm...

1242
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:04,508
I'm buying these for
people that just want

1243
00:34:04,576 --> 00:34:05,308
to use it for décor.

1244
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:07,043
WAYNE: Sure.

1245
00:34:07,112 --> 00:34:07,710
MIKE: The people that are
collecting these aren't

1246
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:09,179
doing it for the sound quality.

1247
00:34:09,248 --> 00:34:12,849
They're doing it for nostalgia,
and the fascination with one

1248
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:15,852
of the most prolific
American inventors ever,

1249
00:34:15,921 --> 00:34:18,655
and his contribution
to the American Dream.

1250
00:34:18,724 --> 00:34:20,323
ROBBIE: I got a
question for ya.

1251
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:21,191
WAYNE: Yeah.

1252
00:34:21,259 --> 00:34:22,258
ROBBIE: Is that N
-O-S in the crate?

1253
00:34:22,327 --> 00:34:23,727
WAYNE: No.

1254
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:24,460
ROBBIE: That Mike
has his hands...

1255
00:34:24,529 --> 00:34:25,328
WAYNE: it's not.

1256
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:26,129
ROBBIE: Okay.

1257
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:26,462
MIKE: No, it's
not N-O-S to me.

1258
00:34:26,531 --> 00:34:27,798
WAYNE: No.

1259
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:28,932
MIKE: You see the horn is...
not N -O -S.

1260
00:34:29,001 --> 00:34:30,734
WAYNE: That, that's-that
was an expensive horn

1261
00:34:30,936 --> 00:34:31,601
when it was in good
shape, because...

1262
00:34:31,670 --> 00:34:32,802
MIKE: Because
the flowers.

1263
00:34:32,871 --> 00:34:34,738
WAYNE: They never
come out with flowers.

1264
00:34:34,940 --> 00:34:37,340
They called these
people tramp arts...

1265
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:38,675
MIKE: Uh-huh.

1266
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:40,410
WAYNE: That used to go to the
music stores and paint those in.

1267
00:34:40,478 --> 00:34:41,278
MIKE: Really!

1268
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,879
WAYNE: Yeah.

1269
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:43,946
MIKE: People would make
a living doing that?

1270
00:34:44,015 --> 00:34:44,614
They'd go to a music
store and they'd go paint

1271
00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:45,348
as many horns as they could?

1272
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:46,216
WAYNE: Right.

1273
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:47,818
MIKE: Wow.

1274
00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:48,284
I never heard that
before, that's awesome.

1275
00:34:48,353 --> 00:34:49,619
WAYNE: Yep.

1276
00:34:49,688 --> 00:34:50,820
MIKE: What's
that crate worth?

1277
00:34:50,889 --> 00:34:51,354
WAYNE: I figure any
real collector...

1278
00:34:51,422 --> 00:34:52,822
MIKE: Yeah.

1279
00:34:52,891 --> 00:34:54,157
WAYNE: would pay
250 for that crate.

1280
00:34:54,225 --> 00:34:56,759
I've had thousands of horns,
but that's the only one I've

1281
00:34:56,828 --> 00:34:58,161
ever seen, that they
shipped them in.

1282
00:34:58,229 --> 00:34:59,362
ROBBIE: What are you thinking
you got to have out of it?

1283
00:34:59,430 --> 00:35:00,697
WAYNE: 400.

1284
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:01,964
ROBBIE: I'm not a
phonograph guy,

1285
00:35:02,033 --> 00:35:04,434
but I love stuff that's in
the original crate.

1286
00:35:04,502 --> 00:35:05,968
It tells a story.

1287
00:35:06,037 --> 00:35:07,904
ROBBIE: Yeah... my big
brother always told me,

1288
00:35:07,973 --> 00:35:10,306
you buy something
you've never seen before...

1289
00:35:10,375 --> 00:35:11,441
WAYNE: Okay.

1290
00:35:11,643 --> 00:35:11,908
ROBBIE: that's odd.

1291
00:35:11,976 --> 00:35:12,442
MIKE: Wow.

1292
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:13,443
WAYNE: Thank you.

1293
00:35:13,645 --> 00:35:14,377
MIKE: Listening to me?

1294
00:35:14,580 --> 00:35:15,444
ROBBIE: I'm listening
to you, thank you.

1295
00:35:15,514 --> 00:35:16,045
MIKE: I love that.

1296
00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:16,713
I love this about you.

1297
00:35:16,782 --> 00:35:17,847
Look at all this stuff.

1298
00:35:17,916 --> 00:35:18,314
WAYNE: I bought a
collection of these...

1299
00:35:18,383 --> 00:35:19,983
SARAH: Yeah?

1300
00:35:20,185 --> 00:35:21,384
WAYNE: all different, an
old man handmade those...

1301
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:22,652
MIKE: Uh-huh.

1302
00:35:22,721 --> 00:35:23,986
WAYNE: Way back
in the '30s.

1303
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:27,190
WAYNE: What he did was go to
some tractor museum,

1304
00:35:27,259 --> 00:35:30,994
and take pictures of a lot of
different tractors and trucks,

1305
00:35:31,063 --> 00:35:34,864
and then he would come
home and make them by hand.

1306
00:35:34,933 --> 00:35:36,332
WAYNE: I got a couple
more left on...

1307
00:35:36,401 --> 00:35:37,734
top of the...

1308
00:35:37,936 --> 00:35:39,202
ROBBIE: Oh yeah, I
see them up there.

1309
00:35:39,271 --> 00:35:40,270
MIKE: Wow, look at that one with
the tract on the back, Robbie.

1310
00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:41,538
WAYNE: Yeah.

1311
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:42,606
ROBBIE: That's crazy.

1312
00:35:42,674 --> 00:35:44,007
MIKE: Here, let me pull
it down here, let me see.

1313
00:35:44,209 --> 00:35:45,808
WAYNE: What attracted me to
those was the time that

1314
00:35:45,878 --> 00:35:48,144
went into them, and the
detail they put.

1315
00:35:48,213 --> 00:35:51,815
They were just made to a tee
just like the original was.

1316
00:35:51,883 --> 00:35:53,283
MIKE: What are you
thinking on this?

1317
00:35:53,352 --> 00:35:55,218
WAYNE: Oh...

1318
00:35:55,287 --> 00:35:55,751
MIKE: What were you-what were
you getting for the other ones?

1319
00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:56,686
WAYNE: About 3-350.

1320
00:35:56,755 --> 00:35:58,554
MIKE: I would
do 300 on this.

1321
00:35:58,623 --> 00:35:59,689
WAYNE: You
can have it.

1322
00:35:59,758 --> 00:36:00,490
MIKE: If you-if
you would do that.

1323
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:01,757
WAYNE: You can have it.

1324
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:02,625
MIKE: I mean, it's
obviously not a

1325
00:36:02,694 --> 00:36:03,226
salesman's sample or anything.

1326
00:36:03,428 --> 00:36:04,561
WAYNE: No.

1327
00:36:04,763 --> 00:36:05,361
MIKE: This is
one man's...

1328
00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:05,962
WAYNE: Right.

1329
00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:06,696
MIKE: you know, work.

1330
00:36:06,765 --> 00:36:07,897
As-as basically, as an artist.

1331
00:36:07,966 --> 00:36:10,099
MIKE: This is a model,
but it's not a kit.

1332
00:36:10,169 --> 00:36:13,970
Think about the degree of
passion and dedication it would

1333
00:36:14,038 --> 00:36:16,439
take to make something
like this, especially...

1334
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:17,974
from a photograph.

1335
00:36:18,042 --> 00:36:19,375
MIKE: You know, you look
at it as a piece of art.

1336
00:36:19,444 --> 00:36:20,377
ROBBIE: So cool.

1337
00:36:20,445 --> 00:36:21,244
MIKE: Yeah.

1338
00:36:21,313 --> 00:36:22,646
MIKE: It's kind of
where industrial art

1339
00:36:22,714 --> 00:36:24,314
and model making collide.

1340
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:25,715
MIKE: Alright.

1341
00:36:25,784 --> 00:36:26,650
And then you got
that one up there,

1342
00:36:26,718 --> 00:36:27,717
did you see that one, Robbie?

1343
00:36:27,786 --> 00:36:28,718
ROBBIE: Oh it's a
Ford, it says too.

1344
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,321
How many of these
things you got left?

1345
00:36:31,390 --> 00:36:31,854
WAYNE: Just 3.

1346
00:36:31,924 --> 00:36:32,656
ROBBIE: There are 3.

1347
00:36:32,724 --> 00:36:33,656
MIKE: How many
were there?

1348
00:36:33,725 --> 00:36:34,391
WAYNE: There was
at least 120.

1349
00:36:34,459 --> 00:36:35,258
MIKE: Really!

1350
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:36,926
WAYNE: Yeah.

1351
00:36:36,995 --> 00:36:38,261
ROBBIE: That goes back to
Wayne's character.

1352
00:36:38,329 --> 00:36:41,598
Wayne saw value in this, and he
bought the entire collection.

1353
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:43,400
ROBBIE: It's
so cool. 300?

1354
00:36:43,602 --> 00:36:44,333
I'm, I'm taking it.

1355
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:44,801
WAYNE: Okay.

1356
00:36:44,869 --> 00:36:45,869
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1357
00:36:45,937 --> 00:36:46,670
ROBBIE: You know,
over time, he sold those

1358
00:36:46,738 --> 00:36:47,404
pieces off and made money.

1359
00:36:47,606 --> 00:36:49,005
This is what's left.

1360
00:36:53,411 --> 00:36:57,480
♪ ♪ ♪

1361
00:36:57,549 --> 00:36:58,948
MIKE: What are these?

1362
00:36:59,017 --> 00:37:01,885
WAYNE: Paul Stanley,
hand-painted drawings.

1363
00:37:01,953 --> 00:37:03,620
MIKE: If you're an
advertising collector,

1364
00:37:03,689 --> 00:37:05,288
you know whole Paul Stanley is.

1365
00:37:05,490 --> 00:37:06,355
MIKE: Very cool.

1366
00:37:06,424 --> 00:37:07,690
WAYNE: Paul Stanley was
a man that lived in

1367
00:37:07,759 --> 00:37:10,894
San Francisco in the early '50s.

1368
00:37:11,096 --> 00:37:14,497
He made advertisements
that were all mechanical,

1369
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:15,966
some 6, 7 feet tall.

1370
00:37:16,168 --> 00:37:17,967
MIKE: So it says, 'chimp
revolves around perimeter of

1371
00:37:18,036 --> 00:37:21,904
can at varying rates of
speed, gains momentum

1372
00:37:21,974 --> 00:37:24,106
to high speed spin, then
slows down and repeats.'

1373
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:28,110
WAYNE: The Paul Stanley
collection I bought was so huge,

1374
00:37:28,179 --> 00:37:31,114
and in with it, I got artwork
for every item they made.

1375
00:37:31,183 --> 00:37:33,717
MIKE: So this is the original
piece of artwork that they

1376
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:36,319
drew before they
actually made the piece.

1377
00:37:36,388 --> 00:37:37,853
WAYNE: Right.

1378
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:38,654
MIKE: Paul Stanley
basically specialized

1379
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:39,923
in bringing brands to life.

1380
00:37:39,991 --> 00:37:42,592
His displays were epic,
and something that

1381
00:37:42,660 --> 00:37:44,394
you would never forget.

1382
00:37:44,596 --> 00:37:45,328
That was the point.

1383
00:37:45,397 --> 00:37:46,930
He was an artist,
he was a visionary,

1384
00:37:47,132 --> 00:37:50,867
and he set the bar when
it came to advertising.

1385
00:37:50,936 --> 00:37:52,668
MIKE: So how large was
this original piece?

1386
00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:54,204
WAYNE: Uh, stand
about that high.

1387
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:56,939
ROBBIE: These gigantic motion
pieces that he was building,

1388
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:59,743
they went to the wayside
when cardboard came out.

1389
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:02,412
It was easier to
store, easier to ship.

1390
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:03,613
ROBBIE: I love that.

1391
00:38:03,815 --> 00:38:04,347
MIKE: That's
all hand-drawn.

1392
00:38:04,416 --> 00:38:05,148
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1393
00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:06,349
WAYNE: That's
all hand-done.

1394
00:38:06,418 --> 00:38:06,816
I guarantee that.

1395
00:38:06,885 --> 00:38:08,018
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1396
00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:09,285
MIKE: Yeah, so it says Paul-
'Paul Stanley and Company,

1397
00:38:09,354 --> 00:38:10,287
San Francisco.' Alright, so
there's 2 of them, and then...

1398
00:38:10,489 --> 00:38:11,554
WAYNE: I have...

1399
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:13,022
MIKE: the other one.

1400
00:38:13,091 --> 00:38:13,823
ROBBIE: We'll have to
climb up there and get it.

1401
00:38:13,892 --> 00:38:15,158
MIKE: We'll have to
climb up and get.

1402
00:38:15,227 --> 00:38:18,094
WAYNE: Paul Stanley was a pretty
big name even in other states.

1403
00:38:18,162 --> 00:38:20,830
My son and I made 50 trips
to San Jose in ur truck to

1404
00:38:20,899 --> 00:38:22,498
haul this collection
back to Kingsburg.

1405
00:38:23,168 --> 00:38:27,704
I sold about 600 pieces, most
of them at the Chicago show.

1406
00:38:27,773 --> 00:38:28,972
MIKE: Here Robbie,
take this one.

1407
00:38:29,174 --> 00:38:31,708
WAYNE: Probably the reason
is because people could

1408
00:38:31,776 --> 00:38:32,909
never get one anywhere else.

1409
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:34,911
MIKE: Alright, what is
that one say, Robbie?

1410
00:38:34,980 --> 00:38:37,914
ROBBIE: 'Circular
plexiglas... il-illuminated

1411
00:38:38,116 --> 00:38:40,850
base with transparency
polished aluminum molding

1412
00:38:40,919 --> 00:38:43,186
top and bottom.
Figure rotates... 360...'

1413
00:38:43,254 --> 00:38:44,721
MIKE: Okay, so this is cool
because it's actually talking

1414
00:38:44,923 --> 00:38:47,590
about the type of
materials they were

1415
00:38:47,658 --> 00:38:48,324
making it from as well.

1416
00:38:48,393 --> 00:38:49,859
WAYNE: Yeah.

1417
00:38:49,928 --> 00:38:50,527
ROBBIE: It says that,
total height of this

1418
00:38:50,595 --> 00:38:52,261
piece was 60 inches.

1419
00:38:52,331 --> 00:38:54,130
MIKE: Wow!

1420
00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:55,798
ROBBIE: I get intrigued any
time that I can find anything

1421
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:57,800
that has to do with
conceptional art.

1422
00:38:57,869 --> 00:39:00,670
You're getting closer to
the seed of what

1423
00:39:00,739 --> 00:39:01,604
the artist idea is in his head.

1424
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:02,738
And it's on paper now.

1425
00:39:02,807 --> 00:39:05,408
And this is the
only one he made.

1426
00:39:05,477 --> 00:39:06,208
MIKE: 300 apiece?

1427
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:07,410
WAYNE: What do you
offer for the 3?

1428
00:39:07,612 --> 00:39:08,477
MIKE: So 900 bucks.

1429
00:39:08,546 --> 00:39:09,412
WAYNE: That's fine.

1430
00:39:09,614 --> 00:39:10,680
ROBBIE: That'd work?

1431
00:39:10,748 --> 00:39:11,281
MIKE: You want
to do that?

1432
00:39:11,483 --> 00:39:12,014
300 apiece?

1433
00:39:12,084 --> 00:39:12,815
WAYNE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Alright.

1434
00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:13,283
MIKE: Okay,
brother, thank you.

1435
00:39:13,485 --> 00:39:14,217
ROBBIE: Awesome.

1436
00:39:14,419 --> 00:39:15,951
Thank you.

1437
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:17,020
WAYNE: I can show you
what one of those animals

1438
00:39:17,222 --> 00:39:17,554
looked like. I think I got
one some, let me grab one.

1439
00:39:17,756 --> 00:39:18,755
MIKE: Really! Where?

1440
00:39:18,957 --> 00:39:19,355
ROBBIE: You're talking
about the bear?

1441
00:39:19,424 --> 00:39:21,024
WAYNE: Yeah.

1442
00:39:21,226 --> 00:39:24,694
WAYNE: I still had a few pieces
of Paul Stanley's stuff.

1443
00:39:24,763 --> 00:39:26,696
A lot of it was
broken, you know,

1444
00:39:26,764 --> 00:39:28,631
I never put it back together.

1445
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:30,299
ROBBIE: Oh yeah,
here, Mike.

1446
00:39:30,369 --> 00:39:32,435
Here we go.

1447
00:39:32,503 --> 00:39:33,369
MIKE: Let me see.

1448
00:39:33,438 --> 00:39:34,304
ROBBIE: See.

1449
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:36,039
MIKE: Oh yeah, that
is the Hamm's bear.

1450
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:37,373
Do you have a lot of
pieces from this company...

1451
00:39:37,442 --> 00:39:37,707
WAYNE: Yeah.

1452
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:38,908
ROBBIE: Okay.

1453
00:39:39,110 --> 00:39:39,509
MIKE: that are broken
or chipped or whatever?

1454
00:39:39,577 --> 00:39:40,376
WAYNE: I think so.

1455
00:39:40,445 --> 00:39:40,844
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1456
00:39:40,912 --> 00:39:41,377
MIKE: You do.

1457
00:39:41,446 --> 00:39:42,712
WAYNE: Yeah.

1458
00:39:42,780 --> 00:39:43,379
MIKE: Can we
see that stuff?

1459
00:39:43,448 --> 00:39:43,913
WAYNE: Yeh.

1460
00:39:43,982 --> 00:39:44,513
MIKE: Which way do we go?

1461
00:39:44,582 --> 00:39:45,849
WAYNE: It's out in back.

1462
00:39:46,051 --> 00:39:46,383
WAYNE: Got to go around
to the other side.

1463
00:39:46,585 --> 00:39:48,050
MIKE & ROBBIE: Okay.

1464
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:48,785
MIKE: So man, you got a whole
'nother building's stuff.

1465
00:39:48,987 --> 00:39:49,786
WAYE: Here's
some of the molds.

1466
00:39:49,855 --> 00:39:51,454
MIKE: So you bought
the whole company.

1467
00:39:51,523 --> 00:39:52,255
These are the molds.

1468
00:39:52,457 --> 00:39:53,322
WAYNE: Yep.

1469
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:55,458
MIKE: Wayne came across
the honey hole, man.

1470
00:39:55,527 --> 00:39:56,860
MIKE: Wow, a rabbit.

1471
00:39:56,928 --> 00:39:57,460
WAYNE: We had a
big banquet room that

1472
00:39:57,662 --> 00:39:59,395
was 4,000 square feet.

1473
00:39:59,464 --> 00:40:00,997
MIKE: More rabbit.

1474
00:40:01,065 --> 00:40:02,732
WAYNE: And we filled that
up, from the floor to

1475
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,735
the ceiling with boxes of those.

1476
00:40:05,937 --> 00:40:06,403
MIKE: Here's a whole
monkey in here.

1477
00:40:06,605 --> 00:40:07,470
ROBBIE: Here, here.

1478
00:40:07,672 --> 00:40:08,337
MIKE: There's his legs.

1479
00:40:08,407 --> 00:40:09,339
ROBBIE: There.

1480
00:40:09,541 --> 00:40:10,539
MIKE: Right here.

1481
00:40:10,608 --> 00:40:12,075
So if we could find his
head, that'd be really cool.

1482
00:40:12,143 --> 00:40:13,276
MIKE: Initially when we
walked into this building,

1483
00:40:13,345 --> 00:40:16,946
I'm thinking any little piece
and part that we can find from

1484
00:40:17,148 --> 00:40:20,817
the archives of this
company is going to be epic.

1485
00:40:21,019 --> 00:40:21,750
MIKE: There, there's
another monkey in there.

1486
00:40:21,820 --> 00:40:23,553
MIKE: But when we
started pulling...

1487
00:40:23,621 --> 00:40:24,954
MIKE: Barrel of monkey.

1488
00:40:25,023 --> 00:40:27,023
MIKE: some rubber torsos
of monkeys, hands,

1489
00:40:27,091 --> 00:40:29,759
and mechanical legs out
of barrels, I was like...

1490
00:40:29,961 --> 00:40:32,429
I can see why this
stuff's still here.

1491
00:40:32,631 --> 00:40:33,362
WAYNE: I sold the heads.

1492
00:40:33,431 --> 00:40:34,097
ROBBIE: Yeah?

1493
00:40:34,165 --> 00:40:35,031
MIKE: You sold just the heads.

1494
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:36,366
ROBBIE: It must have
been that cool looking.

1495
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:37,901
WAYNE: Yeah.

1496
00:40:38,103 --> 00:40:38,834
MIKE: Now he did mention
that there was a guy that

1497
00:40:38,903 --> 00:40:41,838
came by, that bought
all of the heads.

1498
00:40:41,906 --> 00:40:46,776
That guy... he knew what
he was doing.

1499
00:40:47,178 --> 00:40:49,112
WAYNE: I'm looking for...
for these, that say Hamms.

1500
00:40:49,314 --> 00:40:51,380
ROBBIE: Oh there's, there's
the-there's the plates, Mike.

1501
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:52,648
That said Hamms.

1502
00:40:52,717 --> 00:40:54,384
MIKE: Oh okay.
Here, here...

1503
00:40:54,452 --> 00:40:55,985
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1504
00:40:56,054 --> 00:40:57,053
ROBBIE: I think my brother
and I did a pretty good

1505
00:40:57,121 --> 00:40:59,589
job of actually getting
into what was there.

1506
00:40:59,658 --> 00:41:00,857
MIKE: All we
need is one 'H'.

1507
00:41:01,059 --> 00:41:03,192
I can't believe there's
not an 'H' in there.

1508
00:41:03,261 --> 00:41:04,660
Alright.

1509
00:41:04,729 --> 00:41:05,728
You could put these on a board.

1510
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:07,196
ROBBIE: You could
put it on a board.

1511
00:41:07,265 --> 00:41:08,398
MIKE: And then you could put
it, a letter in front of them.

1512
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:10,066
WAYNE: Right.

1513
00:41:10,268 --> 00:41:10,666
MIKE: You know, but they're
never going to spell Hamm's,

1514
00:41:10,735 --> 00:41:11,668
I don't know, 200 bucks.

1515
00:41:11,870 --> 00:41:13,736
WAYNE: Oh that's
plenty, thank you.

1516
00:41:13,805 --> 00:41:14,537
MIKE: Alright,
we'll do 200 bucks.

1517
00:41:14,606 --> 00:41:15,271
ROBBIE:
Alright, killer.

1518
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:15,805
WAYNE: Yeah.

1519
00:41:16,007 --> 00:41:16,806
ROBBIE:
Thanks.

1520
00:41:16,875 --> 00:41:17,607
MIKE: And then, what
about that rubber,

1521
00:41:17,676 --> 00:41:18,340
that rubber monkey piece?

1522
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:19,609
I love that.

1523
00:41:19,678 --> 00:41:20,944
WAYNE: I'll
throw that in.

1524
00:41:21,012 --> 00:41:21,611
MIKE: You're throwing
the monkey piece...

1525
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:22,612
throwing the monkey torso in?

1526
00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:23,212
ROBBIE: Throwing
the monkey in...

1527
00:41:23,281 --> 00:41:24,013
alright.

1528
00:41:24,082 --> 00:41:24,480
MIKE: So 200 with
the monkey torso.

1529
00:41:24,549 --> 00:41:25,281
ROBBIE: Torso.

1530
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:26,348
WAYNE: Yeah.

1531
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:26,950
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1532
00:41:27,018 --> 00:41:27,283
MIKE: Alright, buddy!

1533
00:41:27,485 --> 00:41:28,350
ROBBIE: Awesome.

1534
00:41:28,419 --> 00:41:29,752
MIKE: Thank you.

1535
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:30,620
ROBBIE: You know,
Wayne's knowledge

1536
00:41:30,822 --> 00:41:31,888
of buying up larger collections

1537
00:41:31,957 --> 00:41:33,089
and how he made his
money, is unbelievable.

1538
00:41:33,157 --> 00:41:33,423
ROBBIE: Man Wayne, I'm
really happy with that thing.

1539
00:41:33,625 --> 00:41:35,158
MIKE: [chuckles]

1540
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:36,692
MIKE: Everybody's got a story of
how they got into the business,

1541
00:41:36,761 --> 00:41:39,495
and why they got
into the business.

1542
00:41:39,564 --> 00:41:39,829
ROBBIE: Stand it up?

1543
00:41:40,031 --> 00:41:41,097
MIKE: Alright.

1544
00:41:41,165 --> 00:41:42,965
MIKE: But every once in a
while, you get a story that

1545
00:41:43,034 --> 00:41:45,034
makes you wish things were
the way they used to be.

1546
00:41:45,103 --> 00:41:47,236
MIKE: Wayne has been in this
business for so long,

1547
00:41:47,305 --> 00:41:50,706
that he was able to buy things
and do things that are almost

1548
00:41:50,775 --> 00:41:53,776
impossible to do
in today's market.

1549
00:41:53,845 --> 00:41:54,310
MIKE: Thanks for
being a mentor today.

1550
00:41:54,379 --> 00:41:55,444
WAYNE: Yeah.

1551
00:41:55,513 --> 00:41:56,312
MIKE: I mean that.

1552
00:41:56,381 --> 00:41:57,046
WAYNE: Okay.

1553
00:41:57,248 --> 00:41:57,647
WAYNE: They're a
lot like I was.

1554
00:41:57,716 --> 00:41:58,314
MIKE: Alright, buddy.

1555
00:41:58,383 --> 00:41:59,649
WAYNE: Okay.

1556
00:41:59,718 --> 00:42:01,050
WAYNE: I learned
a long time ago,

1557
00:42:01,252 --> 00:42:04,320
if you want to start a business
and you work hard enough,

1558
00:42:04,389 --> 00:42:05,321
you can make it.

1559
00:42:05,390 --> 00:42:06,723
[honks horn]

1560
00:42:06,791 --> 00:42:07,523
MIKE: See ya down
the road, Wayne!

1561
00:42:07,592 --> 00:42:07,991
WAYNE: See you later.
