TODAY WE'RE IN CARROLLTON, TEXAS.
THERE'S LOTS AND LOTS OF WEALTHY YOUNG FAMILIES HERE.
THIS PLACE IS SO FANCY, SOMETIMES I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHETHER I'M AT A DEPARTMENT STORE
OR A STORAGE AUCTION.
THEN MY WIFE REMINDS ME I GOTTA TAKE MY PILLS.
- SCENERY'S GOOD.
I'M EXPECTING SOME REALLY NICE STUFF TODAY.
- I THINK WHEN WE'RE OUT LOOKING AT THESE UNITS,
I'M GONNA LET YOU LOOK, AND THEN I'M GONNA LOOK.
- AND THEN WE TALK ABOUT IT?
- YEAH, KIND OF GET A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW.
- RICKY AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE SAME PAGE LATELY.
- YOU LIKE IT?
- YOU DON'T LIKE IT, I LIKE IT, OF COURSE.
- ARE YOU SMOKING SOMETHING?
- I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, RICKY.
I THINK KEEPING OUR DISTANCE WOULD PROBABLY DO US SOME GOOD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? - WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.
I REALLY DON'T SEE THE POINT IN THIS,
BUT I'LL GIVE BUBBA HIS SPACE.
- IDEALLY, I WOULD LIKE FURNITURE
THAT I CAN JUST PAINT
AND PUT OUT ON THE FLOOR IN MY STORE.
VINTAGE STUFF IS SO MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO SELL,
'CAUSE IT ALREADY HAS THAT BUILT-IN CHARACTER.
I'VE GOT $500 TO SPEND ON ALL VINTAGE, ALL DAY.
- I AM SO PUMPED THAT WE'RE PARTNERS NOW.
- ME TOO, MOE.
- MARY AND I HAVE REALLY BEEN WORKING WELL AS A TEAM.
I THINK IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP.
I REALLY THINK WE NEED A TEAM NAME.
TERRIFIC DUO. - NO, THAT'S STUPID.
- THAT'S STUPID.
- WE'RE LIKE-- WE'RE LIKE TWINS.
- [laughs] - MENTALLY WE'RE LIKE TWINS.
YOU'D BE DANNY AND I'D BE ARNOLD.
- [as Arnold Schwarzenegger] YEAH, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
OPEN THAT GATE. LOCK THAT LOCKER.
- AS MUCH AS I LOVE MOE,
HE MIGHT BE GOING A LITTLE SENILE.
- THE THING ABOUT THESE LOCKERS IN CARROLLTON,
ARE THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS HOT.
I GOT TO TALK 'EM DOWN TO KEEP PRICES LOW.
THIS IS A HIGH-END TOWN HERE.
SO THAT ADDS TO WHAT PEOPLE PUT IN STORAGE,
AND HEIRLOOMS AND EXPENSIVE ITEMS.
WITH THIS SILVER TONGUE,
I COULD TURN REAL WOOD INTO PARTICLEBOARD.
I COULD TURN WROUGHT IRON INTO PLASTIC.
BY THE END OF THE DAY, MAN,
THESE PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE RUNNING FROM THE LOCKERS.
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
HERE ARE THE RULES FOR TODAY'S AUCTION.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK AROUND.
THERE'LL BE NO STEPPING INSIDE, NO TOUCHING THE BOXES.
TODAY'S AUCTION IS A CASH-ONLY SALE.
ARE YOU READY TO GO? all: YEAH.
- HAMMER UP, LET'S GO.
all: OH.
- OH, RICKY'S GONNA HATE THOSE MATTRESSES.
THE FIRST THING HE'S GONNA SAY.
THERE OUGHT TO BE SOMETHING BACK THERE IN THE BACK, THOUGH.
YOU KNOW, STORAGE LOCKERS ARE A LOT LIKE WOMEN--
PEEL AWAY THE CLOTHES, AND YOU GET TO SEE THE GOOD STUFF.
- MM, THAT SOUNDED A LITTLE PERVY, DIDN'T IT?
- ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?
WE GOT MATTRESSES.
THAT'S A "HAUL IT TO THE DUMP."
THERE'S ONE RULE I FOLLOW--
IF THE MATTRESSES ARE HIDDEN, DON'T DO NO BIDDIN'.
- WHAT'D I TELL YOU?
- THERE'S SOME FURNITURE OVER HERE,
BUT IT'S NOT QUALITY. - NO COBWEBS.
- RIGHT NOW, I HAVE ALL THE FURNITURE I NEED.
AT THIS POINT, I JUST NEED MATERIALS
TO SPRUCE 'EM UP AND TO GIVE 'EM CHARACTER.
THIS IS GARBAGE, YEAH. - THIS IS JUNK.
IT'S GARBAGE.
- MY MOM HAD THAT HANDBAG RIGHT THERE.
AND SHE JUST BOUGHT IT A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
MY MOM'S A STYLISH LITTLE LADY.
THIS STUFF ISN'T VINTAGE, BUT THESE PEOPLE HAD TASTE.
- WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS ROOM IS REALLY STACKED.
SOME FISHER SPEAKERS OVER HERE. OLDER, FOR SURE.
THEY ARE STILL WORTH MONEY TODAY.
THOSE SPEAKERS WILL PAY FOR THE UNIT.
I JUST GOTTA MAKE SURE THIS LOCKER STAYS CHEAP.
AWFUL LOT OF DIRTY CLOTHES IN IT.
- AWFUL LOT OF DIRTY CLOTHES IN THERE.
- WHAT'S THAT BROKEN THING UP THERE ON THE LEFT?
- THAT METAL GROSS THING?
- IT SUCKS.
EXCELLENT. [cash register dings]
- SELLING MY LITTLE HOUSEHOLD UNIT HERE.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. WHAT AM I GONNA GET NOW?
100 WHERE?
- RIGHT HERE. 100.
- HOW ABOUT 150? LET YOU ALL IN.
NOW 200?
- RIGHT HERE. - 200. NOW 250?
- YEAH. - I HAVE 250.
NOW 300? - RIGHT HERE.
- 300. NOW 350?
YELL, SIR. IT'S YOUR LAST CALL.
ANYBODY GIVE 350? 350 ONCE.
350 TWICE.
I'VE SOLD IT, SOLD IT, SOLD IT.
$300. RIGHT HERE IN THE FRONT.
THOSE SPEAKERS MADE THAT LOCKER A STEAL.
THEY DON'T CALL ME SLICK VIC FOR NOTHING.
- MOE.
- THE GIRLS WILL BE INTERESTED IN THAT DRESSER.
BUT, FOR RIGHT NOW,I'M NO.
I LIKE THIS PIECE A LOT, LIKE, ALREADY STRIPPED PATINA.
I KIND OF LIKE IT JUNKY HOW IT IS.
I FEEL LIKE MARY'S GONNA BE ALL OVER THIS ONE.
- THIS BUFFET THING I COULD, FOR SURE, FIX UP.
THAT'S COOL.
I SEE WOOD, PAINT, TILE.
THIS IS LIKE A STARTER KIT OF RAW MATERIALS.
- DOES THAT SAY "LATEX" ON THE BOX? YEAH.
[as Schwarzenegger] THIS LOCKER IS OURS.
[normal voice] NO, NO.
[as Schwarzenegger] THIS LOCKER IS OURS.
- MIGHT BE SOME TOOLS BACK THERE.
SOMEBODY DID SOME CONTRACTING WORK,
BUT I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THIS ONE.
A LOT OF STUFF WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAUL TO THE DUMP.
THERE'S A LOT OF ART SUPPLIES IN HERE.
MY FINGER PAINTING AIN'T MY FORTE.
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ANYBODY GIVE 100? HERE, I GOT A 100.
LET EVERYBODY IN FOR 150.
150. NOW 200? NOW 200 THERE.
250? NOW 250. NOW 300?
NOW 300. I GOT 300 THERE.
NOW 350? 350 BACK THERE.
NOW 400? - 375.
- THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DIDN'T WANT.
PADIAN MAKES DOCTOR MONEY.
- ANYBODY GIVE 400? 400. NOW 425?
NOW 425? I GOT 425, NOW 450.
LET'S DO IT! 475?
NOW 500? 500 ONCE.
500 TWICE.
SOLD, SOLD, SOLD, $475.
THE PIECE IN THE FRONT HAS REAL POTENTIAL.
WE'RE GONNA STEP AWAY FROM THE AUCTION A BIT
AND LOAD UP THE SMALL STUFF.
WHERE DO YOU WANNA START?
- LET'S START OVER HERE.
- AH, I KNEW YOU'D LIKE THOSE. - [laughs]
- THESE RIGHT HERE, 100 BUCKS.
- HERE'S SOME GREAT TILE. - YEAH, THIS IS GOOD.
ALL PORCELAIN GLAZED TILE. - AWESOME.
- 20, 40, 60, OKAY?
- THIS THING, THOUGH, I'M OBSESSED WITH.
PUT SOME COOL, YOU KNOW, HANDLES ON IT,
EASILY 375.
- MORE LIKE 750.
- REALLY? - YEAH.
- OKAY.
- IT'S A GOOD THING MARY HAS ME AROUND,
'CAUSE SHE MAY BE SELLING HERSELF SHORT.
WHAT BETTER MODEL COULD SHE HAVE THAN A JEWISH MERCHANT?
[cash register dings] WHAT OTHER SURPRISE?
- WHAT'S IN THERE? ANYTHING VALUABLE--[gasps]
both: OOH!
- WHAT'S IN THERE? ANYTHING VALUABLE--[gasps]
both: OOH.
- [gasps] OH, IT'S LIKE-- - COLORING.
THIS IS FOR BIG EYEBROWS.
I CAN TELL.
THIS LOOKS LIKE IT GOES INTO THE OVEN.
THESE MELT THE COLORS.
AND I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME OF IT.
OH, MY GOD, MOE.
MOE, YOU'LL GET-- WHO KNOWS WHAT'S IN THAT.
MOE HAS A BETTER PERSPECTIVE ON BUSINESS.
BUT I CONTRIBUTE BY NOT LETTING HIM INGEST THESE TOXIC THINGS.
OOH, MOE. - WHAT, MARY?
- MY GOD.
[clink] - WHAT?
- LOOK.
- WHAT IS IT? - THEY'RE GLASS.
- DON'T--MARY, MARY.
- I KNOW. - SLIDE IT BACK.
- I KNOW. [laughs] - MARY, MARY.
- LOOK AT THESE THINGS.
THEY'RE FREAKING HEAVY TOO.
- GRADUALLY.
LET'S SET IT RIGHT ON THE ARMS OF THE CHAIR.
OKAY.
4-FOOT GLASS TUBES.
- BUT WHAT WERE THEY ORIGINALLY FOR, I WONDER.
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE'S NO MARKER ON 'EM.
- I HAVE A REALLY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO'S A GLASSBLOWER.
I'M GONNA TAKE THESE TO HIM.
- LET'S GO TOGETHER. - YEAH!
- PARTNER? - PARTNER.
- ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, THE NEXT ONE IS INSIDE.
LET'S GO.
HEY, HEY, HEY.
- WOW, THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF IN THIS ROOM.
I HATE TO SAY IT,
BUT IT'S A DAMN GOOD-LOOKING LOCKER.
- WHEN IT COMES TO B.S., I'M ONE OF THE BEST.
I WAS RANKED TOP 20 IN B.S. MAGAZINE.
BUT THERE'S NO WAY I COULD TALK THIS UNIT DOWN.
- THERE'S A WASHER AND DRYER BACK THERE.
IT'S KIND OF HIDDEN DOWN THE BACK SIDE.
IT'S A NICE POSTER BED.
THIS WAS ONE RICH SON OF A BITCH.
- THERE'S A NAME-BRAND MATTRESS THERE,
THAT'S VERY EXPENSIVE IF YOU GO TO BUY IT.
- ALL THIS FURNITURE IS MODERN AND NEW.
- I SEE THESE MIRRORED END TABLES.
I KNOW THEY'RE WORTH AT LEAST 400 APIECE,
BECAUSE I HAVE THEM IN MY BEDROOM.
- THIS IS ALL TOO NEW. - TOO NEW.
YEAH, IT'S BRAND-NEW. - YEAH.
[record scratches] - [jabbers]
RICKY WANTS A UNIT FOR A MATTRESS?
- BUBBA WANTS A WASHER AND DRYER.
I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD.
[chuckles]
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ANYBODY WANT TO GIVE NOW 100?
100, 100. GOT 100 THERE.
- RIGHT HERE. - NOW 200.
NOW 300? NOW 300. - RIGHT HERE.
400. NOW 500? LET'S DO IT. 500.
NOW 600? - RIGHT HERE.
600. NOW 700? I'LL LET YOU HAVE IT.
700? 700, WHERE?
700 HERE. NOW 800? 800?
- RIGHT HERE. - 800.
900, SIR? [auctioneering]
900?
I HAVE 800. - A THOUSAND.
- NOW 1,000! GONNA BLOW YOU ALL OUT.
ANYBODY GIVE 1,100?
1,100. NOW 1,200?
- YEAH. - 1,200.
NOW 1,300?
1,300 ONCE.
1,300 TWICE.
LAST CALL. GONNA GET 1,300?
I SOLD, SOLD, SOLD IT. $1,200 RIGHT THERE.
$1,200.
- THAT FANCY NASA FOAM
SLEEPING M.F.-er HAD EVERYTHING.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS IN THERE.
- I'M GOING HOME EMPTY-HANDED.
IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE CHICK
WHO WANTS THE SAME STUFF THAT I DO
GETS RICH SUPER MARIO COMING IN AND PAYING FOR HER STUFF.
- I SCORED ON A LOCKER WITH SOME SPEAKERS.
IN ORDER TO GET TO 'EM,
I GOT TO BURROW THROUGH THESE CLOTHES FIRST.
I CAN SAY EASILY $200 IN CLOTHES.
THESE ARE OLD FISHER SPEAKERS.
YEAH, AND THEY'RE STILL IN NICE SHAPE.
PROBABLY $50 APIECE.
BECAUSE THEY ARE VINTAGE.
TWO MORE SONY SPEAKERS UP OVER HERE.
AGAIN, NAME BRAND. 50, 60 BUCKS APIECE.
WITH THE SPEAKERS AND THE CLOTHES OUT OF THE WAY,
NOW I CAN FOCUS ON THE BOXES.
HERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WORTH LOOKING AT.
COULD BE SOME HUNTING STUFF IN HERE.
MAYBE A BOW AND ARROW.
IT'S JUST A TENT.
IT'S A CAMOUFLAGE TENT.
IS IT A CAMOUFLAGE TENT?
HMM.
YEAH, I PROBABLY NEED TO SEE AN EXPERT.
OH, YEAH.
THESE ARE NIGHT-VISION GOGGLES.
THESE COULD BE A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS.
NO IDEA.
SOME IDEA.
"WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CALLS."
OH, THEY'RE DUCK CALLS.
[duck call quacks]
AUCTIONS ARE WHAT I HUNT.
THEY'RE ALWAYS IN SEASON.
DUCKS, ON THE OTHER HAND, I HAVE NO IDEA.
- [sighs] WHEW. BACK HOME.
- BACK HOME. ONE MORE TRIP.
- BACK AT THE WAREHOUSE, TO PROCESS OUR UNIT.
WE ALREADY HAVE A BUYER FOR THE WASHER AND DRYER
THAT'S $400 DOWN.
- IT'S A PRETTY GOOD LICK,
BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO TAKE US OVER THE TOP.
YEE-HAW!
LOOK AT ALL THAT STUFF FALLING OUT.
LOOK AT THAT MONEY.
- IT'S A LIKE NEW KING-SIZED BED.
- I'M GONNA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,
I BELIEVE IT WILL BRING 600, 650.
- YOU THROW THE MATTRESSES ON IT, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 800.
- 800 BUCKS.
WE'VE ALREADY MADE OUR MONEY BACK,
AND WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH HALF OF THIS FURNITURE STASH.
250? - OH, YEAH.
- THAT'S 1,450. WE'RE INTO PROFIT RIGHT NOW.
I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY GET 200 APIECE FOR THESE.
DON'T YOU? - OH, YEAH.
MIRRORED FURNITURE ALWAYS TELLS ME ONE OF TWO THINGS--
EITHER THIS GUY LIKED TO LOOK AT HIS-SELF A WHOLE LOT,
OR HE HAD--[sniffs]-- OTHER USES.
FOUR PUB TYPE CHAIRS.
THAT'S AN EASY 200 BUCKS.
IT'S THE UNIT THAT JUST KEEPS ON GIVING.
- ALL WE GOT LEFT IS THE BOXES.
OH! OKAY.
YOU GOT MORE IN THERE?
- OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M GOING IN!
- YOU GOT MORE IN THERE?
- OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M GOING IN!
[items clacking]
- HOLY COW. WHAT IS ALL THIS?
- I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS.
- IT'S A WATER PIPE.
DOES THIS GO DOWN THERE OR UP HERE?
- WHY, YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT THAN I DO.
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
- THE ONLY WATER PIPES I KNOW ABOUT
ARE THE ONES THAT GO TO MY SHEEP TROUGH.
- THAT'S WHERE YOU PUT THE MAGIC POWDER.
- OKAY.
- YEAH, I'VE SEEN WATER PIPES BEFORE.
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS.
LOOK, IT GOES THROUGH THE LEGS. - OH, YEAH.
- I'VE NEVER SEEN IT WHERE IT'S ALL INCORPORATED INTO THE TABLE.
- WHERE DO YOU THINK THIS IS FROM?
- IT'S EITHER INDIAN OR MIDDLE EASTERN.
- THE INLAY IS NICE.
AND IT'S INDIG-U-OUS TO THE EAST OR THE WEST.
MAYBE THE SOUTH.
OR IS IT THE NORTH?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT IT'S INDIG-U-OUS TO SOMEWHERE AROUND...
OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
- I HAVE THIS BUDDY JUSTIN,
AND HE'S A GLASSBLOWER.
SO I'M HOPING HE'LL KNOW
ALL ABOUT THESE GLASS TUBES WE FOUND.
JUSTIN? - HEY!
WHAT DO YOU GUYS GOT HERE?
- I THINK THIS IS MONEY.
ONE OF THE BOXES HAS SMALLER ONES,
AND TWO OF 'EM HAVE BIGGER ONES. - OKAY.
YEAH, THIS IS REALLY NICE TUBING.
NICE AND THICK.
SO THIS COULD BE TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF GLASS.
COULD BE A TYPE OF GLASS CALLED BOROSILICATE,
WHICH IS SCIENTIFIC GLASS.
THE OTHER TYPE OF GLASS IT COULD BE, CALLED QUARTZ,
WHICH IS A PURE SILICA,
WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY EXPENSIVE.
- THAT'D BE COOL.
- THE EASIEST WAY TO TEST IT, FOR US,
IS TO SEE IF WE CAN ACTUALLY MELT IT.
- WELL, LET'S LIGHT THIS THING UP.
- ALL RIGHT, TURN THE FLAME OFF.
THE GLASS IS MELTING.
THIS IS NOT QUARTZ.
IT'S ACTUALLY BOROSILICATE.
- SO WHAT'S THE PRICE?
- $20, PROBABLY, FOR A SINGLE TUBE.
- 20 BUCKS A TUBE.
OKAY, SO WE GOT 24.
THAT'S $2,400, RIGHT?
- UH, I THINK THAT'S ABOUT $480.
- WAY TO GO, DOCTOR.
- AND THEN THE OTHER SIZE TUBING,
IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALLER.
AND HOW MANY TUBES OF THAT DO YOU GUYS HAVE?
both: 36.
- SO YOU SAY $10 A TUBE, IT'S $360.
- YES.
I CAN'T EVEN SAY, LIKE, BORIS-CILLA, WHATEVER IT IS.
LET'S JUST HOPE WE CAN SELL IT.
- THIS IS PART OF OUR FIND. - OOH.
- TELL ME ABOUT THIS.
- THIS IS A NICE PAIR OF JACKS.
THIS IS A VERY, LIKE, PRECISE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST $200 OR $300 FOR THIS TOOL.
- ARE YOU KIDDING?
- AND WHAT ABOUT MY PADDLE HERE?
- YOU CAN USE THIS AT DIFFERENT ANGLES
TO ACTUALLY SHAPE THE GLASS.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT HOMEMADE.
MAYBE 40 OR 50 BUCKS. - OKAY.
- WHAT I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN IS THIS COLOR OVER HERE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY GROUND UP GLASS.
SO EACH ONE OF THESE IS PROBABLY ABOUT...
$50 OR $60.
- WE DID BETTER THAN EXPECTED, FOR SURE.
- IT WAS GREAT MEETING YOU.
- IT WAS GREAT MEETING YOU TOO. - THANK YOU.
WE KILLED IT TODAY.
I GOT TO TEAM UP WITH MARY.
I GOT TO EAT GLASS,
[as Schwarzenegger] WE'LL BE BACK.
YES.
WE'LL BE BACK.
- I'M TAKING ALL THIS GEAR I FOUND
TO AN AVID DUCK HUNTER UP HERE IN BONHAM, TEXAS.
I DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT DUCK HUNTING.
BUT I DO KNOW I LOOK SPECTACULAR IN CAMOUFLAGE.
WHOA! YOU ARE HARD TO FIND.
JUST GRAB IT. - LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT, BUDDY.
- WELL, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS TENT?
- IT'S GONNA BE A "FIELD BLIND" IS WHAT THEY CALL IT.
- A FIELD BLIND.
- YES, THIS ACTUALLY ISN'T GONNA BE USED
FOR WATERFOWL HUNTING.
THIS IS PROBABLY GONNA BE USED TOWARDS DEER HUNTING
OR PIG HUNTING.
- WHAT DO THESE THINGS GO FOR?
YOU SHOULD BE $400, EASY.
- GOT YOU.
WELL, I GOT THIS LITTLE GUY.
- NOW THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
- WELL, WHAT DOES IT DO?
- WELL, IT'S CALLED A MOJO DECOY--SPINNING WINGS.
- THEY FIGURE THEY'RE GONNA LAND NEAR THIS OTHER DUCK,
'CAUSE IT'S NICE AND SAFE,
BECAUSE HE'S FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE.
I DON'T KNOW.
HE DON'T LOOK LIKE A REAL DUCK TO ME.
I'M NOT GONNA LAND THERE
IF I SEE THAT THING FLOPPING AROUND LIKE THAT.
- I WOULDN'T LAND THERE EITHER,
BUT YOU GOT YOU A GOOD PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
- LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. - THAT'S IT.
- THERE'S YOUR $100 BILL RIGHT THERE.
- NICE. NOW THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE.
- LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
WELL THE FIRST ONE'S WHAT I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE SECOND.
THESE ARE ACRYLIC HOBO DUCK CALLS.
AND THEY'RE MADE BY KENT CULLUM,
THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION.
- DUCK HUNTING? - DUCK CALLING.
- DUCK CALLING CHAMPION, OKAY.
- YOU'RE THERE ABOUT $130 APIECE.
- THAT IS SO GREAT.
I ONLY PAID $300 FOR THIS LOCKER.
LET'S GO HUNT SOME DUCKS.
- UH, IT'S NOT DUCK SEASON RIGHT NOW.
- OH. - LET'S TRY IT OUT.
[complex duck call]
- [simple duck call]
- [quacking] - GET 'EM GOING!
- [laughs] LOOK WHAT SHOWED UP.
- NICE. WHAT'D I TELL YOU?
I DO REALLY HAVE THE GIFT OF GAB.
I THINK THAT'S THE ULTIMATE TEST.
IF YOU CAN TALK A DUCK INTO GETTING KILLED,
YOU CAN TALK PEOPLE INTO ANYTHING.
[droning duck call]
- RICKY AND I FOUND A HOOKAH TABLE.
I GOT NO CLUE WHERE IT'S FROM.
ANYTHING I'M CONFUSED ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF SOMETHING I HAVE,
THERE'S ONE GUY I TAKE IT TO.
both: HELLO.
[exotic music]
- OH, HI GUYS. - HOW ARE YOU DOING?
- COME ON IN.
- OUR BUDDY PONCAGE.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU. - GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING? - GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- SO I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS INDIAN,
AND THAT'S WHY WE BROUGHT IT BACK.
- NO, IT'S NOT INDIAN. - OH, IT'S NOT?
- IT'S FROM SYRIA.
- YEAH, WE PROBABLY NEED GEOGRAPHY LESSONS.
- IT'S A HOOKAH TABLE/GAME TABLE.
- THEY PLAY, LIKE, CHECKERS ON IT?
- CHESS, CHESS. - THEY PLAY CHECKERS AND CHESS.
- NYAH.
- DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY WERE SMOKING.
- SO YOU CAN SMOKE... DIFFERENT THINGS ON THIS.
- WHATEVER YOU LIKE, YES.
BUT TRADITIONALLY THEY SMOKED WHAT IS CALLED SHISHA.
IT'S FLAVORED TOBACCO WITH DRIED FRUIT.
IF THEY WERE SMOKING SOME GOOD STUFF,
THEY'D HAVE THEIR FEET ON TOP AND NOT PLAY ANYTHING.
- I THINK YOU'VE USED ONE OF THESE TABLES BEFORE.
- NO, SIR. - NO?
- I'M A VEGETARIAN.
- MM-HMM. WAIT A SECOND.
- SMOKING IS OKAY... TO BE A VEGETARIAN.
- PRETTY GOOD SHAPE? PRETTY GOOD CONDITION, THOUGH?
- NO, IT'S UH...
- STRIKE TWO. - YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE.
- TOTALLY SCRATCHED UP, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP.
- OH, LORD.
- THE LEGS ARE ALL BEAT UP.
- IT'S KIND OF SCRATCHED, BUT THAT INLAY,
THAT'S ALL PRETTY NICE.
- UH, NO. ACTUALLY IT'S NOT INLAY EITHER.
IT'S THE VENEER OF AN OVERLAY
THAT WAS DONE ON PLASTIC AND JUST GLUED ONTO THE WOOD.
- IS THERE ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS TABLE?
- [laughs] YES. - [laughs] WHAT IS IT?
- IT MADE THE PERSON HAPPY THAT OWNED THIS.
- ALL RIGHT, HOW MUCH IS THIS TABLE WORTH?
- I WOULD SAY...
$650.
both: THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
- WELL, IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT THE VALUE,
IT'S ABOUT THE PLEASURE.
- AFTER OUR SUCCESS AT THIS AUCTION,
THIS HOOKAH TABLE'S MORE LIKE A PEACE PIPE
FOR RICKY AND I.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO TEST IT OUT, THOUGH.
- YOU HAVE YOUR TA-BACKY?
- I DON'T HAVE ANY TOBACCO. - NO STASH. OKAY.
- [laughs] NO STASH.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU. - [laughs]
narrator: THE CARROLLTON WINNERS
WERE MARY AND MOE,
TASTING $1,900 BUCKS WITH THEIR GLASSBLOWING GEAR.
RICKY AND BUBBA SAID NO TO DRUGS,
BUT YES TO A $1,500 PROFIT.
VICTOR RJESNJANSKY BAGGED 1,060 BUCKS
WITH HIS HUNTING GEAR.
WHILE JENNY GRUMBLES WENT TOE-TO-TOE
WITH THE FOOT DOCTOR, AND GOT STOMPED.
- YOU DON'T SMOKE AT ALL?
- NO. - NOTHING?
- THE ONLY TIME I SMOKED A HOOKAH
WAS WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD.
OUR NEIGHBOR'S GRANDFATHER WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM,
SO MY COUSIN AND I SNUCK IN
AND TOOK SOME DEEP SUCKS ON THE PIPE.
AND WE JUST BASICALLY SUCKED IN WATER.
IT TASTED LIKE DIRTY OLD SOCKS.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT DIRTY SOCKS TASTE LIKE?
- DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
[stifled laughter]
- I CAN'T STAND IT.
