THE NEW PLAN IS TO OPEN UP A SECOND LOCATION.
LAMPASAS WAREHOUSE,

WELL, THEY MADE THE LETTERS SO BIG,
I SAID, "JUST WRAP IT AROUND."
SEE?

- YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT-- LOOK--NOW LOOK AT IT.
[sighs]

MINERAL WELLS IS BEST KNOWN FOR ITS MINERAL WELLS.
NOW, FAMOUS PEOPLE USED TO COME FROM ALL OVER
TO DRINK THESE "HEALING WATERS."
CELEBRITIES. [laughs]
- THIS HOTEL RIGHT UP HERE IS THE BAKER HOTEL.
A LOT OF MOVIE STARS STAYED HERE
UNTIL ABOUT THE EARLY '60s,
SO I'M LOOKING FOR LEFTOVERS FROM THAT ERA.
PEOPLE PAY BIG MONEY FOR UNIQUE VINTAGE COLLECTIBLES,
SO I WANT TO BE THE GUY TO SELL IT TO THEM.
HERE, I WANT TO BE THE KING. I WANT TO BUILD MY EMPIRE.
I'VE GOT THIS BIG VISION.
INSTEAD OF HAVING A THRIFT STORE,
I WANT TO CHANGE IT TO MORE OF AN ANTIQUE DESTINATION.
OH, MY GOD, LOOK AT WHO'S HERE.
[horn honks]
- VICTOR JUST GAVE US THAT ULTIMATE SIGN
THAT WE'RE NUMBER ONE.
- ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY GATHER 'ROUND.
ONCE WE OPEN THE UNIT,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK AROUND.
THERE'S NO STEPPING INSIDE, NO KICKING THE BOXES.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE A CASH-ONLY SALE.
PLEASE BID ONLY WITH THE MONEY THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR POCKET.
ARE YOU READY TO GO? - LET'S GO!
- HAMMER UP! LET'S GO!
- IT'S GONNA GET HOT OUT FAST. LET'S GET THIS THING ROLLING.
THERE'S SOMEBODY I RECOGNIZE.
NO, I GUESS NOT.
WHO IS THAT WOMAN?
WHEREVER THOSE BOOTS ARE GOING, I'LL BE FOLLOWING.
OTHER THAN YOURS TRULY,
WE DON'T GET TOO MANY LOOKERS AT THESE THINGS.
- SO, MY SHOP IN DALLAS,
MOSTLY I TAKE THE STUFF AND PAINT IT AND FIX IT UP,
SO THAT WAY, I CAN MARK IT UP A LITTLE.
MY NAME IS JENNY GRUMBLES,
AND I OWN A STORE IN DALLAS CALLED UPTOWN COUNTRY HOME.
I LIKE ALL THESE CHAIRS.
- BUT YOU DON'T SEE WHAT I SEE. - I THOUGHT--
- OH, GOD. - OH, REALLY?
I DON'T SEE WHAT YOU SEE?
- LEAN IN A LITTLE BIT AND TAKE A LITTLE SNIFF.
- HOW WOULD HE EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT?
THIS GUY DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I DO.
- LOOK AT THE COUCH. IT'S ALL TORE UP.
IT'S--IT'S FADED.
- I'M LOOKING FOR USED FURNITURE
THAT I CAN REFURBISH AND SELL IN MY SHOP.
- IT SMELLS LIKE BUBBA AND RICKY'S BEDROOM.
- I DON'T KNOW.
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S THINKING.
THAT'S A PILE OF JUNK.
- [groans] LOOK AT ALL THIS. - IT'S GIVING BIRTH.
THIS STUFF HAS BEEN USED AND ABUSED.
I'M THINKING THIS MAY BE SOMEBODY'S REC ROOM,
AND BY "REC," I MEAN "WRECK."
- SELL MY LITTLE HOUSEHOLD LOCKER HERE.

BUT I'M GONNA GIVE THE STUFF A FACELIFT,
AND IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.
- Y'ALL STAY BACK. WE'RE GONNA COME FROM THIS WAY.
- NO, IT'S PRETTY EVIDENT WHAT'S IN HERE, HUH?
THAT'S A NICE WASHER AND DRYER SET.
I'LL PLAY ON THAT IF IT'S CHEAP ENOUGH.
- SEE, IT'S ALL ABOUT THIS THING CALLED SUPPLY AND "DE MAN,"
SO WE'RE TRYING TO SUPPLY "DE MAN"
WITH ALL SORTS OF COOL STUFF.
- THE WASHER AND DRYER? THAT'S A QUICK BUCK.
WHO KNOWS WHAT'S IN THE DRAWERS ON THAT DRESSER?
LOOK, THIS DOESN'T SCREAM ANTIQUE DESTINATION,
BUT THE WASHER AND DRYER, THAT'S MONEY IN THE BANK.
- THAT PIECE, I COULD TAKE IT AND PAINT IT
AND PUT NEW HARDWARE ON IT
AND PROBABLY SELL IT FOR, LIKE, 350,
AFTER I MAKE IT CUTE AGAIN.
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

SOLD IT RIGHT THERE, $250 IN THE CLIP.
$250.
- THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE WAY THIS LOCKER WAS PACKED.
I WOULD NEVER PUT A DRESSER ON TOP OF A WASHER AND DRYER,
BUT IT'S UP THERE FOR A REASON.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME? - JENNY.
- YOU WANT TO BUY A WASHER AND DRYER?
- NO, THANK YOU. THAT'S WHY I QUIT BIDDING.
I WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT.
- OH, STOP IT NOW. STOP IT.
- I WANTED THE DRESSER, THOUGH. - OH, WELL, THE DRESSER.
WE CAN MAKE A DEAL ON THE DRESSER FOR SURE.
- ALL RIGHT.
- SO, YEAH, YOU GOTTA GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER.
WHAT? FOR A BUSINESS DEAL.
- I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA GIVE YOU MY NUMBER TODAY.
IT'S NOT A NICE ENOUGH DRESSER.
- VICTOR'S LIKE A FISH.
HE JUST CAN'T RESIST SOMETHING SHINY AND BLONDE.
VICTOR, YOUR WIFE CALLED AND SAID, "BRING DIAPERS AND MILK."
[laughter]
- IS HE MARRIED? - OH, YEAH.
- SOMEONE MARRIED HIM?
[laughter]
- I COULD SMELL THAT ONE FROM HERE.
I'M NOT GONNA BUILD MY EMPIRE
WITH A LOCKER I COULD SMELL FROM TEN FEET AWAY.
- I DON'T THINK IT SMELLS THAT BAD.
I LOVE THIS CHAIR HERE.
THERE'S THIS LITTLE VINTAGE GREEN OTTOMAN.
THIS LOCKER IS PERFECT FOR ME.
THERE'S SOME CUTE POTENTIAL IN THIS ONE.
- IT'S BEEN HERE A WHILE. - IT HAS BEEN HERE A WHILE.
LOTS OF DUST AND TRASH BAGS.
WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS.
THIS IS AN OLD LADY'S LOCKER.
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
SELL MY LITTLE BOX LOT UNIT HERE.
MONEY, MONEY. WANNA DO 50? - 50.

I SOLD IT, $300, RIGHT HERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
THANK YOU. [applause]
[insects buzzing] - SON OF A BITCH.
- ARE ALL THOSE FLIES COMING OUT OF THE LOCKER I JUST BOUGHT?
DID I JUST BUY $300 WORTH OF TERMITES?
- CLOSE THAT DOOR. YOU'RE GETTING TERMITES ALL OVER US.
- THERE ARE TERMITES EVERYWHERE.
EVERYBODY'S SWATTING AND RUNNING AWAY.
AND I THINK THERE'S STILL WINGS, LIKE, IN MY TEETH.
OH, THERE IS ANOTHER TERMITE.
- I'LL GET IT. - GET IT, VIC.
- NO. EW, GET AWAY. [laughter]
BECAUSE I SPENT MOST OF MY MONEY
AND JUST, LIKE, RELEASED THIS PLAGUE ON THE CROWD...
SO SORRY ABOUT THE TERMITES.
I'M GONNA TAKE A BREAK
AND GO CHECK OUT THE FIRST LOCKER I BOUGHT.
OKAY, LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT IN HERE.
LET'S CHECK OUT THIS RUG.
IT SMELLS REALLY BAD.
THE RUG SMELLS LIKE PEE, BUT AT LEAST THERE'S NO TERMITES.
WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SEE IS THESE CHAIRS.
SEE? THESE ARE CUTE CHAIRS.
I CAN PAINT 'EM, RE-COVER THESE SEATS.
SET OF FOUR CHAIRS. SCORE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE OLD WOOD TABLETOP.
MY CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A CUTE TABLE AND CHAIRS
FOR THEIR KIDS TO PLAY ON,
AND THIS SET COULD BE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE.
THIS IS A CUTE TV STAND.
WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY UGLY RIGHT NOW.
IT'S ANOTHER LITTLE TV CABINET.
THE STRUCTURE OF ALL THIS FURNITURE IS REALLY GOOD.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE DIRTY,
BUT I COULD TOTALLY TURN THIS STUFF FROM CRAP TO CUTE.
ALL IN ALL, I'M HAPPY FOR MY FIRST UNIT.
- OH, MAN!
- WHOA.
- MY BACK HURTS ALREADY. - HOW BIG IS THIS ONE?
- 10x17, FOLKS. IT GOES DEEP.
IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK WALL.
- THERE'S, LIKE, AN ART DECO MIRRORED HEADBOARD.
THIS UNIT IS GONNA GO FOR A LOT OF MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE,
BECAUSE I ALREADY SPENT IT ALL.
- I DO LIKE THESE TWO HARD HATS.
INDICATES SOME TOOLS MAYBE.
- THERE'S A DINETTE SET BACK THERE.
- GOLF CLUBS.
THAT DOLLY TELLS ME THEY BROUGHT EVERYTHING AND LEFT IT.
- MM-HMM.
- EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE. - YEAH.
EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOTHER IS GONNA BE GUNNING FOR THIS ONE,
SO BUBBA AND I ARE GONNA HAVE TO PLAY OUR CARDS RIGHT.
OKAY.
- WOW. THIS ROOM IS PACKED FULL.
BACK IN NEW YORK, WE WOULD CALL THIS UNIT A B.O.A.T. UNIT.
A "BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND" UNIT.
I KNOW A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA WANT THIS ONE,
SO I'M NOT GONNA BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND,
BUT I'M GONNA MAKE SURE SOMEBODY ELSE DOES.
- MAYBE Y'ALL COULD POOL YOUR MONEY TOGETHER.
- CAN WE--BUBBA WANTS US TO POOL OUR MONEY TOGETHER.
- I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING WITH YOU.
[laughter]
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WHAT DO Y'ALL WANT TO GIVE NOW?
- 500, WALT, RIGHT HERE. - 500.
500, AND 600. A BID OF 600 THERE. NOW 700.

[auctioneering] NOW 900.

- YEAH! - 1,000. NEW PLAYER.
[auctioneering] NOW 1,100 IN THE BACK.
NOW 1,200. - YES!
- 1,300, NOW 1,300. - RIGHT HERE.
- 1,300 HERE. NOW 1,400. 1,400, NOW 1,500.
- YES. - NOW 1,600.
WOULD YOU GIVE 1,600? NOW 1,600, 1,600 GOING ONCE.

LAST CALL. WILL YOU GIVE 2,700?
2,700? I SOLD IT, $2,600.
[applause]
- THAT RASCAL VIC COST US, LIKE, 1,100 BUCKS.
HE MIGHT HAVE JUST RUINED ANY CHANCE WE HAD
OF MAKING A PROFIT.
- SO I'M BACK AT MY TERMITE HIVE.
I'M JUST HOPING I DIDN'T SPEND $300 ON A BUNCH OF BUGS.
OH, GOD. WHOA.
AAH-HA-HA! TERMITES!
WHY DID I BUY THIS LOCKER?
I'M GONNA ABANDON THE LOCKER
AND JUST FORFEIT THE CLEANING DEPOSIT.
I'M OUT.
OH, GOD.
- NOW, LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT.
I'M BACK AT THE LOCKER I PAID $250 FOR.
THE WASHER AND DRYER, THAT'S A NO-BRAINER.
YOU KNOW, A QUICK SALE IS $400 ON THOSE.
AND THE MICROWAVE IS 40 BUCKS.
BUT I THINK THAT DRESSER IS STACKED UP HIGH FOR A REASON.
AND WE HAVE A WALLET.
A WALLET WITH NO MONEY IN IT.
OH, THERE'S THE MONEY. IT'S PAYING BACK ALREADY.
WE GOT 4 BUCKS.
HEY, BUT IT'S 4 BUCKS MORE THAN I HAD.
JUST A JACKET.
NOTHING. NOTHING.
OH, WE GOT SOMETHING.
WOW.
WHAT IS...
UH, "L. BEZEMER"?
AH, HERE'S THE KEY.
A CIGAR CUTTER.
CIGAR DRYER.
YOU MAKE LITTLE HOMEMADE CIGARS IN HERE.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF OBSCURE STUFF
I'M LOOKING FOR TO UPGRADE MY SHOP.
WELL, I GOT A COUPLE LIGHTERS.
THIS ONE IS INTERESTING.
THIS CIGAR MOLD SEEMS PRETTY SPECIAL,
AND THE LIGHTER MIGHT BE WORTH SOMETHING TOO,
SO I'M GONNA TAKE IT TO AN OLD FRIEND FOR A LOOK-SEE.
- WE GOT $2,600 TO MAKE UP ON THIS BIG OLD MAMAJAMA OF A HAUL.
HERE THEY ARE NOW.
- TO GET THIS BIG OLD UNIT MOVED,
WE HAD TO CALL IN THE REINFORCEMENTS.
- OKAY, GUYS.
- THERE'S SOME GARBAGE.
- YEAH, GO AHEAD AND DILAPIDATE THAT.
- SOME OLD CLUBS. PROBABLY 40 BUCKS.
- OLD BRASS TOP LAMP, ANOTHER 20 BUCKS.
- THAT'S RICKY'S HOME COMPUTER TODAY.
- HERE'S A GRILL. 20 BUCKS.
- ALUMINUM DISHES.
- THERE'S 20 BUCKS RIGHT THERE. - YEAH.
- GOOD KNIFE. THERE'S ANOTHER 20 BUCKS.
THAT'S A SOFA/LOVE. THAT'S GONNA BRING 300.
- HERE'S A NICE CHINA CABINET. - YEAH, 600.
- LOCKERS LIKE THIS, IT'S GOOD FOR THE STORE,
IT'S GOOD FOR THE FRANCHISE, BUT IT'S A LOT OF WORK.
- I SEE TOOLS, WORKING STUFF.
"DE MAN" IS HIGH ON THESE THINGS,
AND WE'VE GOT TO SUPPLY HIM A LOT.
HE NEEDS A LOT.
AMERICAN-MADE AIR COMPRESSOR. 250.
- NICE LITTLE TREADMILL.
- IT AIN'T GOT NO ARMS. YOU GOTTA PULL 'EM UP.
- WELL, THESE FOLD UP OR SOMETHING.
- PULL 'EM OUT. THERE YOU GO.
OH, I KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
IT'S A TREADMILL FOR A FAT DOG.
- IT'S A DOG TREADMILL? - YES, IT IS.
- SHUT UP.
IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO PUT YOUR DOG ON A DIET,
YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO JUST WASTE.
THE HAUL WAS GREAT.
THE ONLY THING ON MY MIND WAS THAT STUPID DOG TREADMILL.
WE DEFINITELY NEED TO GET THAT PPY CHECKED OUT.
- I'M AT MY STORE, UPTOWN COUNTRY,
WITH MY MOM AND MY FIANCE LOREN,
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW THEM ALL THE NEW STUFF I FINISHED.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD YOU I GOT TWO UGLY TV CABINETS?
- YEAH.
- THIS, I PUT AN ANTIQUE STAIN ON IT SO IT LOOKS OLDER.
I ADDED THESE DECALS, AND THEN I PUT NAIL-HEAD TRIM ALONG IT.
- NICE WORK.
- WHAT KIND OF PRICE SHOULD WE PUT ON IT?
- OKAY, LET'S GO 150. - ALL RIGHT, 150 IT IS.
- OKAY, THIS TABLE WAS COVERED IN GROSS CIGARETTE BURNS.
AND I DISTRESSED IT MORE,
JUST SO IT KIND OF LOOKS A LITTLE VINTAGE-Y.
- NICE.
- THIS WAS UGLY BLACK.
THE SEATS, THERE WAS OLD-- THE UGLIEST FABRIC EVER.
- JUST DARLING.
- I SAY 300 FOR THIS ONE.
THE TURQUOISE TABLE AND CHAIRS IS MORE FUN AND FUNKY,
FOR LIKE A PLAYROOM OR A COLLEGE KID'S KITCHEN.
VOILA.
OKAY, SO THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS TOO.
I KEPT THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE, JUST PAINTED IT,
AND THEN I PUT ANOTHER ANTIQUEY ON IT.
BUT THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART.
IF YOU'RE WATCHING TV OVER THERE, YOU CAN ADJUST IT.
- LOOK AT THAT.
- SO, 185. DONE, PRICE TAG LADY.
CUSTOMERS ARE GONNA COME IN,
AND THEY'RE GONNA SELL LIKE THAT.
OKAY, THIS ONE, THIS WAS YELLOW.
THIS WAS BLUE VINYL, AND IT HAD CHUNKS TAKEN OUT OF IT.
- IT'S THE CUTEST THING IN THE WHOLE STORE.
PRICE? - OKAY, 179.
- OKAY.
- ALTHOUGH THAT TERMITE LOCKER WAS A $300 BUST,
I'M STILL GONNA MAKE A $240 PROFIT.
NOT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR,
BUT I'M STILL GETTING THE HANG OF THIS STORAGE AUCTION THING,
AND I'LL BE BACK.
- I FOUND A WOODEN CIGAR MOLD IN MY LOCKER.
NOW, I MAY KNOW ABOUT A LOT OF STUFF,
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WOOD,
THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN FOR THE JOB.
- ♪ HE'S MOE ♪
- ♪ MOE ♪ - ♪ MOE ♪
all: ♪ PRIGOFF ♪
- FROM THE SHAPE OF IT, IT'S GOTTA BE A CIGAR MOLD.
- IT'S INTERESTING.
I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE MAKER, BEZEMER.
IT'S EUROPEAN.
ROBERT?
THIS IS ROBERT VALACHI. - WHAT'S UP, VIC?
- HE'S MY GALLERY MANAGER. - OH, COOL.
- AND MUCH SMARTER THAN I AM. - OH, COME ON, NOW.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT FOR A SECOND.
- SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- THAT'S A CIGAR MOLD. - YEAH.
- AND IT'S PRETTY OLD.
IT'S FROM, LIKE, THE EARLY 1900s.
- WOW. SO, MOE, WHAT KIND OF WOOD
DO YOU THINK IT'S MADE OUT OF?
- [sniffs]
IT'S PINE, BUT YOU CAN SMELL THE TOBACCO IN HERE.
TAKE A WHIFF.
- [sniffs]
- SMELL THE OTHER SIDE. - I DON'T KNOW, MOE.
- YOU CAN'T SMELL THAT? - [sniffs]
YOUR SENSE OF SMELL MUST BE GREATLY LARGER THAN MINE.
- MUCH LARGER. REMEMBER MY HERITAGE.
- SO, MOE, AS IT SITS HERE,
WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS THING IS WORTH?
- WELL, IT'S OLD, BUT NOT THAT OLD,
AND THEY MADE THOUSANDS OF THESE.
- OKAY.
- PROBABLY...
A BUCK-50.
- WELL, I WAS HOPING FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE,
BUT, UH, THIS WAS THE GRAVY IN THAT ROOM.
THE APPLIANCES, I ALREADY DOUBLED MY MONEY.
NOT QUITE THE BIG SCORE I WAS LOOKING FOR,
BUT HOPEFULLY THE GOLD LIGHTER'S WORTH SOMETHING.
- THIS IS A GREAT PIECE.
THIS IS A DUNHILL PETROL LIGHTER.
- REALLY?
- THAT'S 9-KARAT YELLOW GOLD.
DURING THE ART DECO PERIOD,
IT WAS, LIKE, A GENTLEMAN'S ACCESSORY.
IT HAS A LITTLE PART THAT OPENS UP,
AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUT A PICTURE INSIDE OF IT.
IF YOU LOOK HERE, IT POPS OPEN,
AND THEN YOU FLICK IT, AND THEN THE FLAME TURNS ON.
- ROBBY, YOU KNOW, THEN YOU'RE THE PRO.
WHAT IS THAT WORTH?
- I WOULD SAY ABOUT...
$4,200.
- THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
4,200 BUCKS FOR A LIGHTER, IMAGINE THAT.
THESE TWO PIECES,
THEY'RE GONNA BE A GREAT START TO MY ANTIQUE EMPIRE.
THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING LAYING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DRAWER.
NOW YOU KNOW-- CHECK YOUR DRAWERS.
- I ALWAYS CHECK MY DRAWERS. I'M A DOCTOR.
- [laughs]
- I JUST HOPE THIS THING IS WORTH SOMETHING.
- I HOPE IT IS TOO.
BUBBA AND I FOUND A DOGGY TREADMILL IN OUR LOCKER,
SO WE'RE HEADED OVER TO DOG CITY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT.
IT'S A CITY RUN BY DOGS.
TARBY, WE'RE GONNA GO GET YOU IN SHAPE.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE THE FAT GIRL.
- RICKY'S WIFE DRESSED HIS DOG UP LIKE A DOG HOOKER.
[snickers]
NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
- THIS IS IT-- DOG CITY TRAINING CENTER.
IT'S LIKE A FITNESS GYM FOR DOGS.
- LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT HERE.
THIS IS THE PETZEN MODEL.
GOT SIDES THAT PULL UP.
JUST PULL THAT OUT THAT WAY. GOOD JOB.
THIS COMES UP HERE,
AND WE CAN PUT FOOD OR TREATS IN THIS BOWL.
- OH.
- AND THAT KEEPS THEM RIGHT POSITIONED
IN THE CENTER OF THE TREADMILL.
WE ALSO HAVE--
- IT KIND OF DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE TREADMILL,
YOU FEEDING THEM WHILE THEY'RE--
- WELL, YOU ONLY FEED--
- LIKE, I'D BE ON THE TREADMILL TOO,
IF THERE WAS, LIKE, A BACON BURGER RIGHT THERE.
- [laughs]
WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT-- WHAT YOU'VE GOT HERE.
IT IS A USED TREADMILL,
BUT IT STILL HAS THE CONTROLS COVERED UP WITH PLASTIC,
SO IT COULD GO FOR, UM...
MAYBE 650.
- THAT'S GOOD.
THAT BRINGS OUR TOTAL TO 6,100 BUCKS.
I STILL THINK A DOG TREADMILL IS PRETTY STUPID, BUT, HEY,
I'LL MAKE MONEY OFF OF STUPID ANY DAY.
- SO, WE CAN GET TARBY ON HERE?
- I THINK PROBABLY IT WOULD BE NOT THE BEST TIME
TOET TARBY ON THE TREADMILL...
[record scratches]
BUT I DO HAVE A DOG THAT ALREADY KNOWS HOW TO DO A TREADMILL.
- MY DOG KNOWS HOW TO WALK.
- THAT'S-- ELLIE'S 18 WEEKS OLD.
SHE THINKS IT'S A VERY FUN THING.
- IT'S A DAMN TREADMILL.
THE DOG'S GONNA FIGURE IT OUT, OR IT'S GONNA FLY OFF THE END.
BE ON YOUTUBE.
[Tarby panting]
narrator: THE MINERAL WELLS WINNER WAS VICTOR RJESNJANSKY,
WHOSE GOLD LIGHTER SPARKED A $4,500 PROFIT.
RICKY AND BUBBA WALKED OFF WITH 3,500 BUCKS
WITH THEIR TRUCK-BUSTING UNIT AND DOGGY TREADMILL,
WHILE JENNY GRUMBLES WOULD HAVE MADE 240 BUCKS,
BUT TERMITES CHEWED RIGHT THROUGH HER CLEANING DEPOSIT.
- ♪ WAH WAH ♪
DON'T YOU WISH YOU COULD DO THIS?
- NO. - WHY?
- BECAUSE THEN I WOULD LOOK LIKE...
- LOOK LIKE WHAT? - YOU.
THEN I WOULD LOOK LIKE YOU.
- LIKE THIS? - LIKE WHAT?
- LIKE THIS.
- OH, YOU GOT SOME TERMITES ON YOUR--
- OH! HELP ME. - OH, THAT'S JUST YOUR MUSCLE.
