What do you want to talk about?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yes, something i'd even get a chance to tell you
guys earlier. Well, first of all, I did mention to
you guys about my father handing me this big, heavy
box full of all these old school nineteen forties and
fifties silver coins. But also that something that was in
the box along with it was this family heirloom that
he wanted to give me.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
He says, So this started as a tradition in our.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Family with my grandfather, which is would be my great grandfather.
It's a gold pocket watch from like the early nineteen
hundreds that my great grand my father's father's father had
and it's to be given to the firstborn son in
everyone's family. So my father, my father, wanted to pass

(01:34):
it on to me because my grandfather gave it to him.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
So that's so crazy. Well, this means you have to
have a son, right No no, no, no no.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
My brother has had a son, so my brother the
firstborn son in my family now would be oh, actually Lucas,
my sister's son.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Lucas take this watch from me. It doesn't have to
be my son. Oh okay, but uh that was close.

Speaker 7 (01:57):
Yeah, you know, Bullet twenty got that one of.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
These, like you know, like the mister Peanut, you know,
had the guy with the monocle and he's got the loop.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yes, it's a pocket. It's a pocket. Why that's on
a change? It's gold and still and it still works.

Speaker 7 (02:13):
Oh that's so cool.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
So you're not gonna sell it, right No no, no,
no no, this stays within the family.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
No no no. But I was so honored to have it.
That is really cool and take possession of it. So
my question to you guys is, do you.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Guys have any fun family heirlooms that we should know about.

Speaker 8 (02:28):
I fucked mine up, but you well, I mean you
got the coins, don't use them in a vending machine.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm not gonna use it because Okay.

Speaker 8 (02:35):
So when I was a kid, my grandfather gave my
dad his stamp collection and I used them on envelopes
and I melt shit with them.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Scotty.

Speaker 8 (02:44):
Yeah, I mean there was no like inverted Jenny in there.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not that they didn't.

Speaker 8 (02:50):
He didn't have the upside down airplane, but there were
some old stamps like, oh cool, So I would like
send publishers clearing house entries in using my grandfather's stamps
from like the late eighteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Could you free stamps? Yeah? Oh lord, I screwed anyone
else any family heirlooms. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (03:06):
So, like, my grandfather served in World War Two and
he was in Europe and he was military police. And
one of the things military police is they took care
of all of the POWs. So all these surrendering Germans
and Nazis he would have to process and stuff. So
he was able to as spoils of war, take stuff
from them send home. So we've got these like binoculars

(03:32):
from Germany like he's you know, he had he's got
these German swords and stuff like that, and he always
had it hanging because he looked at it as like
I was over there and I, you know, we kicked
their asses, and so I would feel bad getting rid
of stuff like that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
So you still have it?

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Still have it?

Speaker 9 (03:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
We have a samurai sword from Japan from World War Two,
and some silk artwork that my father sent back and scrolls.
Oh well, well, and a couple of the things.

Speaker 10 (04:02):
I have a ring, an aquamarine stone that my grandfather
gave my grandmother after the war, and she said that
everyone that she knew would try to take it from
her and say, that's such a beautiful ring. What do
you want for it? Can I have it? And when
my grandmother got Alzheimer's, that was one of the only
stories she remembered, and she would constantly tell me that

(04:23):
story over and over again. How Grandpa gave her that ring.
Everybody wanted it. It means something, So I you know,
I wear that ring now and it's like something that
was so special to her.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
We have some Gandhi stuff, Oh you do?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh wow, listen to me. She's like, well, we got
some Gandhi stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Well, so the thing is the majority of his stuff,
if there was any stuff, which he didn't have anything,
people think that we're rich, Like not at all. Clearly
he gave everything away, but our family donated the majority
of it to different like museums and oushrooms and stuff
like that. But there are some letters, there are some
like little trinket e things, and then some of the
clothing that he wore, like some of the lunges.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
The controversy is who's getting it? And I'm like, out,
I don't need it. It's okay, maybe I want it, sure, Yeah,
I feel like it would just cause more of a
fight than anything else. So we'll see. We'll see where
it goes.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well that has it own?

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yeah, who has it now?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
My uncle has now and my dad has some of
it too.

Speaker 10 (05:27):
You can start the Gandhi museum at your house and
charge people. I mean, we'll come by.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
More, trick them and they show up and it's just
my apartment, right, but.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
People won't saying off their shoes though.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, all right, well I think I done.

Speaker 7 (05:43):
I mean, the only thing, the only thing I have.

Speaker 11 (05:45):
When my mom was a teenager she got and this
is how I started collecting sports memorabilia.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (05:52):
The nineteen sixty nine entire Mets team signed on a ball.
Uh and that was the first first thing she ever
gave me. I sandlotted that ball, meaning like I lost it.
It's somewhere in my parents' house. So the only time
I'm going to find that is when that house blows up.
That's the World Series nineteen sixty nine months.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
Yes, amazing.

Speaker 10 (06:12):
Was that the last? The last?

Speaker 8 (06:13):
No?

Speaker 11 (06:13):
No, they won an eighty six, but it was the
first time they won, the first time they won. So
there's an autograph on it by a guy named Gil
Hodges who no longer is with us, but pretty much
probably could have done me well and paid for an
extension on my house right now. But yeah, so my parents,
it's it's somewhere I played with it.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
I didn't know.

Speaker 10 (06:35):
Probably still probably came in.

Speaker 9 (06:38):
Nineteen sixty eight All Star Game Baseball. Two baseballs, one
from the National League, one from the American League signed
and they sat in the sun.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
Oh ten years. It's just so bleached you can't see anything.
Oh god, my daddy, my dad.

Speaker 10 (06:53):
My daddy swears he had the Mickey Mantle Rookie card,
which is where it probably did. And he says, you know,
my grandmother up and just like when he left, packed
up all his cards and gave him away. Oh he's just.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
Like, what three point five million dollars?

Speaker 8 (07:08):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (07:08):
He used to always ask me whenever I would say, Dad,
what do you want for your birthday? What do you
want for Christmas? I want a Mickey Manny Michael Mickey
Man Mickey Mantle Rookie card. And I would say, yeah,
I don't think I can ever afford that. One day
Danny will afford that for me. Okay, oh yep.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
You know what, whatever you have, do you have anything
currently that would be passed downable?

Speaker 2 (07:31):
You know what I'm saying, Like, have you started tradition?

Speaker 9 (07:36):
Like have we acquired anything personally that would be handed
down for the first time?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Gold microphones? Gold microphones.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
My father has a pinky ring with encrusted in diamonds
he got when he was eighteen.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
He gave me that too. He goes here, he passes
down somewhere, and I'm like, what am I going to
do with this?

Speaker 3 (07:56):
It means a lot to me, but I don't know
if it's worth passing down, you know, like my little
my little zone necklace, my gold Ellison. I love it.
I would want it to stay in the family.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Mom.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know what, I must disagree.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I think that's definitely going to be something you should
pass down because you started, you started this new art
movement in your family.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Maybe maybe I get it when you have a kid.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Nope, get out of here.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
All right, guys, I love you. We were way over time.
We're not following our own rules. But it's good.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Have a great day. The fifteen Minute Morning Show
