Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Tomorrow isThursday, Shi T. I still haven't
come up with an acronym yet forWednesday other than hump day and everyone that
I came up with yesterday. AsI was contemplating it. Their FCC regulations
and restrictions on me using those words. I won't say it on the air.

(00:21):
But there was an old radio showcalled Opie and Anthony yep and Opie
and Anthony originated from Long Island,New York, and they worked at a
station called WBAB and I worked atthe sister station, WBLI, so i'd
see these clowns in the hallway.Opie and Anthony came up with an acronym

(00:43):
for Wednesdays, which I was surprisedthey weren't in trouble for saying it on
the air. And then it wentas far as becoming a bumper sticker that
to this day, I still seethe bumper stickers. Okay, I'll just
say it's wow. That's what theysay wow. So I'm not going to
go any further, even though it'scleared for FCC broadcast. Apparently. I

(01:07):
know for years we celebrated no underwearThursday. Now what you call it no
underwear. Thursday weren't allowed to wearunderwear. Why why would you do that?
I don't know. Seems like wewere doing a contest and one of
the girls wanted to compete in it, but she wasn't wearing underwear, so
she had an advantage or no,she had to take off her skirt I
don't even know why, or herpants. I've forgotten what contests were doing.

(01:30):
Radio was a lot riscarer back inthe day because of the payphone payoff.
We'd have you take off your pantsand then put on the back when
we have payphones, and you puton the morning Rush boxer shorts, which
I still have a pair of.I don't wear them. I have kept
him framed. Oh okay, soI'm still working on that. But tomorrow

(01:52):
is s h I T so happy. It's Thursday, so we've got tgif
s H I T. Yeah,we do we do any other day like
a dear Lord, it's Monday,a d l M or something like that.

(02:12):
I so it's just Thursday and Fridayat this point. Yes, all
right, well maybe this will belike a weekend prom because yeah, because
we had no wonder where Thursday switchedto Wednesday, it was something for Tuesday.
I've forgotten what that was. Doesit include tacos? I'm sorry,
does it include tacos? No?It did not come taco with Thursday is

(02:36):
not a thing. You know,that's a great question. We need more
tacos. Why don't we we getto come up with a Mexicano food that
we can celebrate every day. Iknow my kids could eat it every day.
I got a feva and when prescriptionis more tacos? All right?
So the w o W I'm noteven saying that on the podcast. All

(02:57):
right, we live Op and Anthony. I hope they hate each other.
Well it's k oh wait a minute, huh are you breaking news on them?
It's Kate Pride month. So wecould do we could do that for
the gay community. Okay, andthey could have a like a rainbow show.
I you know, I'm gonna justlet that sit there for a minute,

(03:23):
let people think about it. We'regonna talk about this poor well,
he's not poor slob. He's probablya very upset slob. This fella had
a a painting like a print,so he thought his father had bought it

(03:44):
originally in the forties and had theactual bill of sale for the painting that
he had bought in the forties.It was portrayed then as a print.
Okay. Now I'm not in I'mnot into art, so I don't even
know what I'm talking about here.But the artist that was a print from

(04:04):
is a guy named I guess DagasDGAs. Okay. So this fellow wanted
to sell his print or is heportrayed it. He put it on eBay
or something and said, this isa fake Dagas. It is not legit.
Here's the original bill of sale,but it is a very good one

(04:29):
and I would like one thousand dollarsfor my print that's been around for eighty
plus years or so. All right, Well, somebody took him up on
the offer, paid one thousand dollarsfor a fake Dagas. Okay, I
can see that. Well, thenthey took that Dagus down and got the
thing appraised and it comes back atthirteen million. It was real. Wow,

(04:55):
your dad bought a real Dagas andwhoever sold it to him as an
idiot. And then because even thenthose paintings were going for something like four
to five hundred thousand dollars, soyou had in your possession for eighty years,
a painting worth well over a milliondollars. You did not get at
the praise before you put it onlineand said I'll just take that. Why

(05:16):
would I. I've got the billof sale. It says fake right on
it. My dad bought it knowingit was a fake and loved it.
I don't even know how to valuethat in today's That's why I thought I
was asking a lot for it.One thousand dollars for a fake painting,
but it looks great. Thirteen milliondollars. Bump into an idiot like that.

(05:41):
But would you know, I mean, look at the I mean,
look at that painting. That wouldyou be even interested in that thing?
It's like a It's like a fatwoman with a I don't even just got
her back to you. I've anart you know, aficionado, So no,
of course not. I can't appreciateit. I can't. Well,
as I'm saying, if I hadit and somebody said, look, you
got that thing sitting there, andyou're I don't know where you'd even put

(06:02):
that up. You got it hangingsomewhere, Yeah, in the bathroom.
What if I gave you a thousanddollars for it. Hell yeah, I
have a thousand dollars than the fatgirl in my bathroom. That's hysterical.
But he oh, he is,now very have you ever had something?
Very rarely do we ever get somethinglike that. It's not like you bought

(06:25):
a car and the guy didn't know, oh, just because it's from the
sixties, that was the so andso car. And if we don't buy
coins, if you were buying coins, you'd know to look for the double
stamped. Sure, rare whatever.But I think that there's more of an
opportunity where you didn't know you hadsomething that was that valuable, like you

(06:49):
had whatever, some sort of likeI remember I had an album and it
was a it was a Jim Morrisonand the Doors album, okay, and
I had bought it at a yardsale, probably paid a dollar for it

(07:09):
because I didn't have any money forit. And then not that it turned
out to be a million dollars oranything like that. But then probably in
the late eighties, I found outthat that album was worth like three hundred
dollars because it was from Japan orsomething, and so I sold it.
I you know, I took itfor two hundred bucks. But I didn't
realize how valuable it was the wholetime I owned it, that this is

(07:32):
a very rare album. And it'shard to imagine something is a rare album
nowadays with everything's electronic, so youknow, every song ever recorded you can
probably find on the iHeartRadio app atthis point exactly. But yeah, something
that you had, maybe it wassome you know, hand me down.

(07:53):
I love watching those stories on whatwas it called the Traveling Road Show or
whatever, when the people they comein and they get stuff appraised, and
they're like, my dad gave methis door knocker, and he said it
was in the family for a numberof years, and so I don't know
what to do with the door knocker. And they're like, this was George
Washington's door knocker. So we're eighthundred thousand dollars what. Yeah, I

(08:20):
just looked it up. I thoughtit was more valuable than this. My
mom, when I first started playinggolf, I told her I'm gonna start
playing golf. So I was liketwenty years old, and she was at
a yard cell and she bought aold Wilson leather or plether whatever's made of
heavy as hell golf bag and ithad a set of drivers at a one

(08:45):
to three and a five, andit had a putter, and that putters.
I still use the putter to thisday. It's a ben Hogan real
putter Ben Hogan. But the valueon those has dropped down dramatically. You
can buy one of the bay forforty five bucks, but my mom bought
the whole thing for like five dollars. Yeah, but it could have been,
like, you know, like yousaid, if you had timed the

(09:07):
market right, possibly in the midnineties when people didn't really have access to
the internet or something. Maybe ittook that thing into a sporting goods store
and said, look, I'm justtrying to get a new putter and I
got this old one. And theguy's like, this is the ben Hogan
spindle putter. You know what thisthing is worth? Like a thousand dollars.
Oh that's great. So have youever had something that you didn't know

(09:31):
was that valuable? And then youwould have treated it a lot differently had
you known. Sure, you know, you see these people they've got like
they're using like some sort of tableputting their drinks on. Its heartbreaking.
You watch like the pickers where thoseguys have, yeah, all kinds of
these things in the barn, andthe barn roof's going bad. They don't
replace the roof and it starts raininginside. Then it ruins all kind of

(09:52):
crap in there, that's right.And then you find something like my brother
lives in a property right now thatwas owned at one point by my great
uncle, and my great uncle hada book written about him where he would
build. He built a bunch oflibraries with donated books all across the South,
well three states put it that way, North Carolina, South Carolina,

(10:15):
Georgia primarily. Anyway, The propertythat my brother bought belonged to this man
and he had a bunch of books. I mean when I say a bunch
of books, I mean like threebuildings. Wow, like three full sized
garage kind of buildings, that iscorrect, one of them with two levels
just filled with books. Well,the other family member that had the property

(10:39):
that lived there, you know,a couple of roofs got some leaks in
them. You know, they gotbooks there that literally have been rained on
for maybe ten years. But oneof the books he pulled out, one
of the first books. He justreached them one day and pulled out a
box of books, and one ofthem he pulled out he looked up on
abay it was fifteen hundred bucks.I'm like, wow, that's crazy.

(11:00):
Got three more buildings of these things? Yeah? So is that guy rich
as the dickens these? That wouldbe my part time job. I just
go home and start pulling down booksand doing searches for them. Hmm,
yeah, that one's a fifteen hundreddollar book. That's uh. Anyway,
who's paying fifteen hundred dollars for abook too? I always wonder about that.

(11:20):
Like my grandmother used to sell antiques, and she would say, this
pen, this is a nineteen thisis the original nineteen sixty two big pen
or something. This is going tobe value. This has got an eight
thousand dollars value or something like that. It's only worth whatever you just paid
for it, until somebody says,I'm willing to pay eight thousand dollars for

(11:43):
that pen. Like, what kindof person has that, you know,
not only that much expendable income,but is interested in a pen or a
book. You can go into thoseantique shops and find those unusual things that
have incredible price tags on them,but you go I like it. It's
cool. I don't like it thatmuch, not going to pay you seven

(12:03):
seven hundred dollars for it. Yeah, and you go back the next day.
This happened to me. I wasup in cashier or something. I
thought, you know something, Iwant it, you're going back. I'm
going to go back and get it. And it was gone gone sons of
on that and that. I mean, that thing probably been there for a
year waiting and then the data beon it. I thought about it one

(12:26):
day, and you waited too long. You know, the Lord saved you
from blowing seven hundred dollars that day. That's what happened. You were saved,
I was, I was saying,because yeah, I shouldn't have spent
that money, all right, anyway, Okay, well got that, and
I don't mean again we've mentioned iton the air, but there was a
lightning strike here at the building,so we had quite the power surge,

(12:46):
which is apparently blown out my computer, so I don't I can't actually read
anything today on the computer, soI don't have access to the email.
But I've got good news because thisnote I remember was left here or by
one of our engineers. Now thiswas written when we did. This is
sarcas. I'm coming down the bike. Wait, but this is good.

(13:07):
When did you think he was here? How long ago was that? I
don't know. This is written inhis own handwriting. These are three things.
Yeah, a monitor stand, amonitor with stand for Kelly. Okay,
new computer for Kelly. There,it's coming there. And one of
my microphone buttons was stuck. That'slike twenty twenty two. Hey, the

(13:30):
microphone button is still stuck. Yeah, I'm still using the cardboard. Is
that the new computer? That's nota new computer. We scratched that off
the list. He already brought thatto you. Yeah, how about the
monitor stand with the new monitor?We still have an Amazon prom Then this
is gonna this is gonna happen.We've been waiting for that. That's gonna
come in handy. This is gonnahappen any day now. I kept that

(13:50):
with his own handwritting so I couldbe reminded of the things that were coming.
But if I can remember correctly,the email had something to do with
either a crew that she had hiredto work on the yard, or perhaps
even a street crew, you know, meaning people who come out of by

(14:11):
to like pave the roads type ofthing, and she looked out and saw
them having lunch on her front lawnunder the tree, and didn't like it.
I told them, I don't wantyou sitting on my lawn. Well,

(14:31):
were they working for her? Dowe know this? Or I'm gonna
say I'm gonna I'm not remembering exactlybecause I don't have the email in front
of me, but I think possiblyit was the road crew, Okay,
when they had decided to take abreak, I can tell you right now.
I remember having a crew at myhouse and I walked outside and as
soon as I hit the door,I'm like, what is that incredible smell?

(14:52):
And it was, Oh, itwas a Hispanic crew and they were
in my front yard cooking up theirlunch on the cooking up the lunch law
and I'm like, oh my gosh, that's most so good. All right,
you can have lunch on my lawnas long as I get some.
Well, I went down there tryingto Thankfully two or three of them could
speak English, and I'm like,what are y'all cooking? So? And

(15:13):
he starts to explain it to him. I said, is that really spicy?
And he goes, oh, fixyou One I ate three, They're
like, ring, you gotta go. It was so good. So I
think that there was some problems betweenher and the husband because he said that
was very rude to kick them offher lawn. Of course it was.

(15:35):
But like she points out, youdon't let anybody even walk. They're hard
working. Why do you think thejob work in Edith? Remember the story
about Harrison Ford, which one hishis Harrison Ford's brother apparently almost like a
landscaping company. Okay, So andhe's like in Idaho or somewhere. So

(15:58):
harrison Ford goes with his wife therevisiting, and Harrison Ford wakes up when
while his brother's getting ready to goto work, and he says, you
know something, I am putting thegood days work in a long time.
I'm an actor. Let me gowork with you. Okay, suit up,
And about halfway through the day,the woman who owns the property apparently
was watching all the workers, andshe came out and complained to the supervisor.

(16:19):
Harrison Ford's brother. Look, yourcrew's doing a great job, said
that guy over there, what's wrongwith him? He's loafing. Harrison Ford's
over there, leaned up against thetrain. He goes, yeah, I
can't get any work out of him. I've got to fire. You'll never
see him here again. Man,you'll never see him now. You want
to get a photo with Hans Solobefore he moves on? Or so good?
