Speaker 1 (00:48):
Buzz twenty four seven on A on a Tuesday, and
it was a wild and wooly bidding war at the
end of the show for the U for the Trans
Siberian Orchestra package, and some dude checked in with a
one dollar up bid.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I'm like, whoa, he.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Was trying to do it right at the uh.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
And then it's.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Funny watching those kind of auctions because obviously you want
to wait. You want to get the best deal you can,
obviously for the package. It was a huge package for
Lenda helping can. And one guy goes a dollar above
the highest bid, like a minute left to go, and
I'm like, oh, that's a ball or move. And then
some guy came in I think because it was first
(01:27):
and I know what his first name is, and just
stomped on it, like three hundred dollars higher, Am, it
was mine. This is waiting until the last minute, you know,
but very thankful for all the bids.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
So thank you very much for that.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That's pretty cool. So we do have the bus twenty
four to seven. And it was in watching that happen
that made me think about a question I want to ask,
because nobody was a better sniper like that on an
auction than Scott McMullen.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh yeah, And it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Was a period of time where he would not be beat,
He would not be beat when it came to an auction,
and it was part of it an obsession that he had.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And I want to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I want to talk about obsessions coming up justly. But
but we will break, we'll come back in and get
the bus.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Twenty four seven. I started, well, we come back from
there show, We'll be right back. It's the Buzz at

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Every night when I go to bed, it's around I
try to go to bed at like a thirty, but
I'm never making it. I'm going to bed at like
nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
This is gonna hurt.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
What I'm gonna say, it's not related to what we
talk about before.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
I like, what you make it hurt?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I've had it with The Godfather?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, Jesus Christ, Showtime? What I mean, every single night.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
They're playing for The Godfather. You're paying for that?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
No you get no there's four you get four channels,
oh the Showtime.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So I mean you get a choice. But I mean I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Sick of it, Like how could I be sick of
the greatest movie of all time? I'm mad at them
because there's no way I can go past it without stopping,
you know what I mean? Like, do you know how
many times I've seen the Titalia death scene in the
restaurant where Sonny not Sonny Michael CLODIONI kills him and
I can't.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I can't.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I know they see in my heart I do not enjoy.
For me, it's like it's all about Netflix, Amazon Prime.
I'm done with the commercials, the commercial breaks.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's like no showtime.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
But there are other other channels and stuff like that,
and it just seems like they're repeating stuff over.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
And over the table as it is.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's like, oh, hey, look it's the Harry Potter movies again,
which are fantastic movies, but I.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Don't want to see them again.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Every night Godfather's on Swear to God every single night,
and it made now it's made me I feel guilty
in saying it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I don't want to see it anymore. Well, they.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Should make some new content, some new TV shows, some
new movies.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Get on it.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
Yeah, higher people would yes, And then you and you
turn around Jimmy and people and you say that, and
I just use as an example, it's like we had
another Harry Potter, Harry Potter series coming out.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I just watched in here that the other day.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The Hundred Games are back.
Speaker 5 (04:33):

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Back to the Godfather, though it's not to Talia that's
killed in the restaurant Salazzo.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah right, bad.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I I apparently haven't seen it enough. No, just because
that gets it.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
There's there's certain movies because I know it's salatso I know, but.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
There's there's certain movies that just if you're going by
and you see it, I'm here for the next hour.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
And to Scotty's point, they put commercial break every five
minutes in there.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, you're up all night.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I was locking in with A and I know how
this is gonna end. Yeah right, I was locking in
with the Liam Neeson movie.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Now I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Now he's a it's a Mexican kid that's getting chased
by the cartel and he's got as the marksman.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, I watch that.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I'm gonna watch that because I'm in the moved. Sometimes
you need just a good revenge move. You know, you
don't need a revenge movie ever, do you? What's the
meanest movie you ever watched? Like the one that was
so out of character because you.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Don't Falcon experiment. Have you guys ever seen that Balcon?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
It's basic Belco Experiment b E L K I N.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah ready again it Yeah, it's really good.
It's brutal, so gory. It's basically about an office building
and it gets shut down and everybody that works there
has chips in their heads and there's like this telecom
person that's talking. It's like, you have to kill five
people or we're gonna kill ten in the next thirty minutes.
And then it goes on and they're basically just killing
each other.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Wow, that's that doesn't Yeah, that's not your that's not
your normal. Fair Did somebody make somebody say we're.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Watching the okay? Okay? Is she dark in your light
when it comes to that kind of stuff?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Because does Stephen your brother? Is he like you mean
the Devil and Satan?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
And no matter of fact, I think the darkest thing
that he watched was what you suggested pluribus no go back.
It's on uh something Rabbit.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
On black Rabbit, Black Rabbit. That's dark.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
He's like, this is really dark.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That's dark.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Ship sit down, I'll tell you.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So Scotty has a Scotty sister who's an angel, right,
is the moral conscious compass for Scotty is religious, Scotty
is Satan. That's going to be great for dinner conversation, surely,
But you know what, you don't.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I and I'm not.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You know, here's you come up with Thanksgiving though, Like
how you guys don't argue about it. You know, I'm
whatever she believes, whatever I believe. I don't, And I'm
not going to have a conversation about religion. I'm not
gonna be about politics, none of that.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
But before you eat it, you're gonna you say a
prayer and she wants to pray to God and you
want to pray to Satan.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And you find this was the discussion in the seven
o'clock hour.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I think we're slightly blowing it out of worship Satan.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'm just saying I'm a believing.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
We're always you know, we believe in God. Well, you
know there's there's the other side to you know, I
believe in both of them. Give them both their their due,
you know time.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Are you saying, I mean you blesses the dinner. You
believe in Satan? No, I don't believe in But you
said there's there's been religious not religious.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I like to believe because because this all of a
sudden happens, I'm gonna go listen. I never really talked
bad about God. And then if it's something like this happens,
to go listen, Satan. I've been wearing you for years.
So I'm just the guy that goes right across. And
I'm married to a woman who is in the medical world,
so so you know, they have a tendency being a
(08:10):
more science going way, you know, stuff like that, and
some of it I have a hard time believing and
all this of it.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
I just kind of okay, okay, I think she's going
to get into heaven by and saying I never seen
anything bad God.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I will say the church.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I you know, I go to say something to Kelly,
and I look and he's running through the pools. He's
going through He's not even paying attention. But Kelly is
one of those guys who's going.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
To correct the pools if I got a correct.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Him Kelly, I'm not taking it away. I've accept it.
I still love I.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Mean, I answered Jimmy's question. Jimmy, uh my mom and dad,
My dad Catholic, my mother Methodist. Anytime we would go
over for dinner, they always said it prayer, and at
the same time, I can go to church and I
know most of the time what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's just it's not my food.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I wasn't the religious conversations, and I.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Wanted to answer Jimmy's question, I will be perfectly fine
at Thanksgiving when but you don't need to do like
twenty minutes I.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Was gonna say, Kelly hedges his bet. He doesn't say
he believes, but he doesn't say it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Just the case right, which is whatever you know.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
So, but I don't believe that if you when you
get to heaven, if you believe in heaven and you
believe there's a God there and you had to be
the right person to get there, Yeah, I think there's
going to be a giant line of people who believed. Yeah,
right right before they get to the people who say
I didn't say I didn't believe.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
You're going to the back of the wife, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Might be Yeah, you might be. What we talked about.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
We were talking about this before we started, you know,
this segment, not this particular subject, but the one I'm
about to bring up.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
The auction we just got done.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
The Trans Siberian Orchestra auction for Lenda Helping Can and
it was it was great. The bids were awesome. Thank
you so much to everybody that bid. Congratulations to the winner.
But anyway, nobody was better at an auction than Scott.
When eBay became you know, massive, like when at first,
like oh my god, it seemed like it was everywhere right.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
It just became like I can being a music fan,
I can order you know, a CD that I didn't
even you can't really find it the music stores at
the time. I can find it and get it from
you know, Egypt. And I'd set my alarm and revolved
my life around this auction ends at three thirty am,
my time.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Bang.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I'd have that alarm set and I'd get up and
look at the computer. Sit there for the last you know,
hit refresh.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, sit there.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
And at the same time, you sometimes you can put
the high like the highest bid that you're willing to go.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Right, that's what you did, yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
But what what would happen at the radio station in
the old days is you're always getting a box of records
they were giving you to giveaway. You get mail that
the ups would have to bring in a Dolly with
the mail, and there was the radio station pile, and
then there was scotch pile from eBay and they're all
in like bags that are taped with like frigging scotch
tape from it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Mostly music.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Mostly it was videos, big, big on any type of
like hey, they just threw a stupid camera up in
front of the Misfits and had them play, and I
loved that. To me, it was like the more bump
fights were good too.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I would get those remembers.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
The one that Greg bums not rear, not your rear end,
the one they on the.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Street that was the one that Brig gave me the
most crap about. Is the band Goat Hoar had a
problem with their vehicle, Goat Horn, Goat Hour, Jimmy with
a great band. They donated the guitar a few years
ago for to help me care.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Great guys and everything.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
They got somewhere and their van broke down, so they
put a bunch of their stuff up on eBay, going.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
We need money, like right now.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I bought like their jean jackets, all this stuff, And
when it came to the mail, Greg goes, dude, there's
a baggage there for you fucking stinks.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
What what it's done?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
What? What is that?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
To open it?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I opened it outside and it was like you tell,
all the band members were smokers, and they literally took
their shirts and like all this stuff and put it
in after they played.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
They didn't wash it. They didn't wash it.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
You know, you would think the traveling van for goat gold, Yeah,
it would be would be lemony fresh.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You would think you would.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I would have thought you would have breezed that stuff
before you sent him there.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
He he was legitimately obsessed with it, like to the
point where had everything delivered delivered to the radio station
so his first wife wouldn't see it.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
However, also I was so good at it that sometimes
it would be like, uh, I would I could get
the package in the mail before I sent the payment
out because I.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Was they.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Very high, was very high. So it was like a
day or two.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Later all the package, oh ship, I haven't paid for that.
I had to pay for that.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
But I will say that he always the things that
he been on for like the entire goat or collection
of clothes and stuff that smelled like ass uh five bucks.
He was He was the most economical auction person I've
ever seen so in talking about that, he was so
obsessed with it, and I wanted to ask you, guys,
(13:09):
was there a time when you were obsessed with something
to the point where that's all you did, or it's
all you bought, or it's all you paid attention to.
Because I went through a period of time, like in
ninety three ninety four, when you know, when rock music
got really like woe is Me, My life sucks? You know,
all that stuff. I wasn't for me. It wasn't where
(13:30):
the grunge raw wasn't for me. I appreciate a lot
of the bands now, but at the time I was
looking for something different. I want something to make me
feel good. So I went on I went on a
Sinatra tear. Frank Sinatra, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Not Junior. Junior is a prick. Wow, absolute jerk he was.
He was a jerk. It was the most jerky I've
ever had.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
In a really it was crazy for you. That's another
story for another time anyway. And I bought every thing
I could find about. I bought every record that Sinatra
ever made of fourteen hundred and fifty four songs whatever.
I bought box sets that were like three hundred like
there was like I think a twenty disc box set.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
What happened to all those CDs? By the way, did
they get tossed?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I kept all my sonf okay, I might want to.
I kept all my he doesn't let them out work. Yeah,
I had a I was at an auction once and
they had a suitcase.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It was a suitcase the.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Whole box set Frank Sinatra Reprise Records. And uh, I'm
in an auction and I'm going up against this woman
and I'm like, I'm not stopping.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
This is leaving with me.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I'm just letting you know, you kid, I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
This is to me.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I'm just saying, look, you don't waste your time because
you're not going to get this, you know. And I
thought maybe I just made a mistake because she'll push
it up. But she she didn't. She did the opposite.
She started crying, and I'm like, oh no, I don't
give a ship bathe bathe like I can't you know,
I'm not no, I'm not going to sit here.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
And I seriously, yeah, yeah, I sure to God like
it was.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I am unfazed by you by your tears.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
For me to this, and sure, sure.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Enough though she broke me down and I I gave
it up.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I gave you scared dude.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I used to get emails from people that you'd be like, listen,
I see that me and you are the last two
people bidding heart.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You know, hey, I need this.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Fuck you, I will say, I will say, I will
say I did what she wouldn't. I pushed that price up.
I did push your price up. When it got like
got up there, I'm like, all right, you earned it.
I just want to make sure you because if I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Going to get it. It was a charity auction.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It was a charity auction, and she's a lovely person
and we're friends. But anyway, the crying thing. But I
went through I listen, I bought everything I could find,
uh about Sinatra box.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's books. I read books everything about Sinatra.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Like real books, real books, yes, okay, just taking yeah,
not books on tape, Kelly, I read books, right, okay, anyway,
But yeah, So that was my obsession and it went
on for like a couple of years, you know, because
you just don't go out and buy fourteen hundred and
forty whatever fifty four records in time, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And you probably had a catalog of like Stuffy that
you knew that you were like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Multiple greatest hits album soh yeah, it had a song
in a different order.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I bought them.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Do you think it's worth a lot of money now
or not?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I think I think it's over.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, I think CDs are over.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
What about records? Do you think the records are still
worth money?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
There were some, Yeah, but I don't think it's you know,
Scotti loves them, people love them.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I do not get involved in vinyl.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'm just saying that there is a drive for it,
all right, So my question is all right for those Kelly,
was there ever a time where you were obsessed with
something you went hard.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
After only as a kid with baseball cards, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I remember going through and trying to collect all the
cards for that year.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
And and sort and through them.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
But no, as soon as high school came around, I
was I was done with that.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I thought I still have them.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I don't have my valuable card.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
If people love to collect cards, I'm sorry. This isn't
a shot at you.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I thought that was the most ridiculous thing ever collecting
baseball cards and here's what, well, here's what.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, there can be money made off. Nobody I know
did that. Nobody I know made money.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
They had closets full of cards that were just useless.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Thousands of worthless, but there are ones that are.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I didn't know anybody that was like that. So I'm like,
that's the dumbest collection anybody could have ever had. I was,
I said that is.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I went in with a buddy that was was big
into the NASCAR cards and somebody came in with a
box full of cards. They showed it to them, and
the woman was like, I don't know, and the guys like,
I'll give you like five dollars for the box.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
She didn't know.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
She's like, great, just hanging around the house. She walked
out the door. He's like, dude, there is so many,
you know, high priced cards in here, you know, haha,
look at the money we just made off.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
This woman like a little putting the screws to them.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, I don't like that. I don't do part
shops like that. Is that that is the palace of sadness.
That is not the.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Only Sometimes you can't.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Sorry, I'm going to fight this to you. I'm sorry.
Let's be honest. You made bad decisions. You got you
have an opportunity to go someplace and sell stuff to survive.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's not my fault.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I go in and get a deal after you, I say,
And then after he gets the deal, I will bathing
your tears.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I did not say it's your fault. I just feel
guilty going in there trying to buy something and get
a deal on somebody else's pain, which a lot of that.
Some people go in and they do just trade stuff
in because they want the money, and that's fine, but
you know as well as I do. When they're down
on their luck and they got nowhere else to go,
that's where they go and they get taken for a loop.

a waffle iron and you go, how bad did it
when somebody went, honey, Jimmy, no.
Speaker 2 (18:52):

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Four years there were like five or six in the area.

guy will look in and go you said, yes, way
too fast. I just and I'm like, you didn't do

You weren't smart, yes see, I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, I feel like I'm just taking advantage of someone else's,
you know, misfortune, and I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And I really they are lucky enough to have a
place to go to.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I agree, and I will say they are a legitimate business.
I just I'm not a pawn shop guy.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (19:29):

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Good for you, many many people that did it.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, So did you have Has there ever been anything
that you've been obsessed with where you were like maybe
all the time buying it whatever.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I'm kind of with Kelly. Just when I was younger,
and I barely remember this, but my mom tells me
that I was obsessed with polly pockets, like the little dolls,
and I needed all the clothes and all the characters.
And my mom was like, if I come home from
work one more time and I asked to play Polly Pockets, yeah,
it lose it. So I think that's it. Though I
can't really think of anything and I barely remember that.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You don't strike me as an obsessive person anyway, you
know what I mean. I don't see that in you,
Like I have that ability. Scott certainly has that ability.
Kelly less So Kelly Lesson.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And I don't really fan girl over things like I
don't become obsessed with like a famous person, right.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Anything like that.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, as I've gotten I find it to be.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Less important.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I mean, at one time I was well over thirty
thousand CDs and now I'm probably like maybe I got ten.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I used to say, I'm like, what are you going
to get rid of those?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Right?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And he's like, oh, I'm going to listen.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I'm like, you're not. You're saying you are, You're not.
I had three thousand.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
I got a garage full of CDs that I can't
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, I don't know what to do with them, you know.
And I took them all the plastic stuff out. I
put him in little sleeves so I could put like,
they're in three big bins in my house. It's disgusting
and I don't know what I'm to do with it. Yeah,
they're just like everything else. I'm just gonna throw them
away at some posters. Yeah, so what about you, because
you are an obsessed Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
So the biggest one was when I bought my house.
When I bought the previous house, got down on the basement.
There's this big I had this big room in the basement.
It was like almost like an alley, and I went, oh,
you know what, it looked really cool here.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
That's how Styt's Oh sit of my wife.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
I go, what if I got a couple of pinball
machines down here? What if we put a little arcade
down here?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
She He worked at the Hampton Beach Arcade.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Yeah, and I grew up on Hampton Beach and my
mother when I was a kid, my mother bought a
pinball machine in an auction, So we had a pinball
machine in our bedroom themselves.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Is that I'm frigging rich, dude. I had a ping
pong table. He made out a freaking particle board.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
He bought an breastway for fifty dollars from one of
the arcades down on the beach. So anyway, I've always
been a big arcade guy. So when I figured this out,
I did the math.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I said, we can fit eight machines here, geez Louise.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
And then I went, all right.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Well, I have my eight favorite, but what would be cooler?
And then I three of my eight favorite were surfer themed.
So there's actually a database online and you can look
up every pinball machine that's ever been made, all the
way back to the twenties, And I said, what if
I built the ultimate surf themed pinball arcade? That was
(22:37):
my goal, And my wife goes, I love it, so.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Cool, coolest wife.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
My wife's the best.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
But they're on So they're on there's a pinball trading website,
They're on eBay, they're on Craigslist.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
So I made my list.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Here's here are the machines that I want. And first
one I found was in Nova Scotia. So road trip
I said to my wife, I go, I'm gonna go
get a pinball machine.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Where are you going, Nova Scotia?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Did you take the cat you drive?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Took my truck that's a twelve hour drive.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Ten hours.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Oh yeah, at least and I at least and I'm meandered.
But also I had to bring it home, so I
got to take my truck. Yeah, got that one home,
took it completely apart, rebuilt the whole thing, cleaned it
all up. It was it was a it was a mess.
But the theme of that one, it was called travel Time,
and it was a it's a surfer. It's two surfers,
(23:34):
a man and a woman surfing, and in the back
there's an airplane and there's a cruise ship.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
And it's yeah, of course it's the thing.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
But it's my my wife's life, in my life.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah right, And I was this is this is the
this is the first one.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
So then I get this list, right, and I'm just
I'm on, I'm like Scottie. I got the alerts on
all the all the auction things. Yeah, bing bing, Oh wow,
there's a there's a there's a surf champ.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
It's in New Jersey. Can I can I win this auction?
You know?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
There's another one on Craigslist. So I went all over
the country the furthest I went. I went to Detroit
to get a nineteen fifties.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
One and obsessive. Man, that's seriously, at what point.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
When you get it? What do you how do you
get it back? So in Detroit, I bought it. I
took it to a shipping place. I put it on
a pallet I had in the parking lot of home depot.
I built a pallet for it, brought a.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Shipped ship a pinball machine.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I've shipped the lakes, the lakes, come on, yeah, I
get it.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
How much did that cost to ship?
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Back then?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
It was about three hundred bucks just to ship it.
And then I had I just I had this old
timer guy down in Beverly, Massachusetts that used to fix
vintage pinball machines.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
He used to he used to.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Run the routes back in the day.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
So he was your guy.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
And I would bring him in and and you'd pay
him in cash and Scotch and come back, you know,
give me, give me a few.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Weeks, Jimmy, give me a few weeks, and I'll go
through this thing.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
And he would get American. And so at one point
I had eight vintage pinwall machines, all with surf themes,
and they I had the coolest.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Chevy Buddy's over and they just play.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
People were blown away. I had that.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I had people in the surf industry try and buy
the whole thing. I should have in retrospect made that sale,
but I just was so now I have.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
A much smaller house now.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I kept two of them, Yeah, and I sold the
rest of them off and there most of them are
around the seacoast and people's people.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I was completely obsessed with it, and for I don't know,
it's probably three or four years before I finished the
whole list off and found everyone that I want. And
then every now and then I'd find one and go, oh, this,
this one's junk, but I need the parts. Yeah, so
I went to I went to a hire to buy
one just for part.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Such you suck some money in.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I'm not that I did it.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
The time, the mileage, all that stuff, that's a that's it.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Was all about the chase.
