We debate whether yard sales are worth the time and effort while sharing stories from our recent experience selling family furniture and household items. The challenges of early morning setups, pricing strategies, and dealing with quirky customer behavior lead to memorable moments.
• Getting up early enough to catch the best sales requires dedication and planning
• Pricing items at yard sales creates a paradox - we want clear prices as buyers but hesitate to set firm prices as sellers
• Location and signage are critical factors that can make or break a yard sale's success
• Interesting characters including an Alabama football fan haggling over Auburn merchandise and a mailman making questionable choices
• Mr. Beast reportedly spent $500,000 for a private night at Disneyland but claims to need his mother's help paying for his wedding despite billionaire status

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So we want to talk about yard sales, because we had
a yard sale yesterday.
We've had yard sales in thepast.
We've gone to yard sales in thepast.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I love going to yard sales.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
We used to go to yard sales all the time and I would
like to still start going, butnobody wants to get up as early
as I do and go like, find thestudy, you don't get up early.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Let's just put it that way, you have to tell me
we're going and I will get upearly.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We can make plans to say, alright, we're going to
yard sales this Friday night.
I can say, alright, I knowthere's a bunch of yard sales
tomorrow, let's get up and go toyard sales.
You'll be like, okay, just getme up 8.15 we'll be leaving the
house, bull Just get me up 8.15,.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
We'll be leaving the house, bull.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Loney, it's true, true statement.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
If I got up and woke you up at 5.30, if I got you up
at 5.30.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Why are we getting up at 5.30?
See, there you go.
I can say 6.15,.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You'd be like why don't you get up at 6.15?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I try to let you sleep At 6.15,.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You'd be like why don't you?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
get up at 6.15?
.
I try to let you sleep.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I try to make you sleep in, yeah so I'm still
scared of the spider.
I want to be.
You should be hitting the yardsales no later.
You should be at your firstyard sale no later than 7
o'clock.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
No later than 7.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That's what I yeah, and a real statement to me is
I'm leaving at 6 going to myfirst yard sale.
That's real to me.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, if we had a plan of action, if we had a list
of yard sales and we weren'tjust driving around, Okay, so,
like we used to get the paperand you could map out, I guess
you would say but they don't dothat anymore.
We used to get yards the paperand you'd look and say, hey,
there's a bunch of yards.
Yeah, you would get that onfriday night, so yeah you had to
(03:50):
get up early.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You just knew they're in and around town and say hey,
we can just hit them where nowit's like now, let's just go.
Well, if you saw a sign thatsaid you know yards of the mar,
you might see one or two.
Whatever you say, I knowthere's a couple out there at
least.
But now it's like you go out,you just drive around and find
them, you kind of zigzag back inour town to you know you'll run
(04:11):
across it's summertime sothat's what you want to get
started early anyway, because itgets so hot now.
That is true, but I want to getthere before people find the
good stuff, before it gets goneyou know I don't know, so we
don't do it anymore.
Hardly, you know, I don't.
We went, I think, maybe to onelast year.
Maybe, and that was justbecause it was beside this park
(04:33):
that we went to and we walkedaround it.
Was that not the same time wewalked?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
up the park, and then there's a yard sale right next
door to it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's because it just seems like there's not meaning
no, there's still a lot outthere.
You know when you need to findme some.
At one time the city was goingto put a tax on.
You'd have to have like apermit to have a yard sale and
stuff like that that's anegative.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's a big two thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's a negative, you know, leave me alone let me
say let me sell my junk.
Exactly this stuff's are boughtand paid we've probably several
times over and you're to tax meagain for selling it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, you're not, but anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Anyway, We'll get off that point.
So we had a yard sale yesterdayand reasonably well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So your father recently passed away and so we
just need to clean out the houseand get furniture, stuff that
we know that, hey, we don't wantanybody.
You know anything that we hadfound that anybody needed, or
whatever.
We've kind of gave you know afew things here and there, but
everything else is like, look,we just need to start trying to
(05:39):
clean up and get rid of somestuff.
We'll have a yard sale, so weplan this out, and then all last
week this is sunday.
We're recording on a sunday, bythe way, a day that we do not
want to record on, but it alwayshappens we got to get different
and the reason I'm bringingthis up is because we had the
yard sale yesterday, so that wasbe saturday, and the week
leading up to it is taking stuffthat we have to add to the yard
(06:04):
sale.
If we can find some stuff, youknow whether it's clothes, shoes
furniture, my dad, he didn'thave much stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He didn't have it.
He was not a I will tell youthis though once I started
pulling this.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, once I cleaned this furniture we started
cleaning this stuff lastsaturday and that just any kind
of for any time you're going tojust kind of wipe stuff down and
get it ready.
I mean mean, that's a choreanyway.
So we did that.
But when I started hauling thisstuff outside, Because you
didn't wait on me.
Yesterday morning, because Ihad to get there before you did.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Because you didn't wait on me.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I was like how many end tables do you need?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You know, but you brought a couple from here.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I did.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right but still maybe .
Yeah.
But he still had tables.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Kitchen tables.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He had little tables everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I guess you call it maybe like a dining room table,
possibly with the four chairs.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, that was the kitchen table.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No, that's not what I'm talking about, over there in
the living room next to thefireplace.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh yeah, it's a table .
It's a table with four chairs.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, and a bar stool , a couple of bar stools, a
couch, a recliner that we gavehim because he had complained
that his other recliner wasbroke, and he sleeps in a
recliner because he didn't likesleeping in a bed, so he's used
to his heart surgery, right yeah.
So, hey, we're going to givehim a recliner.
That was still new to us.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was still good.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
We bought it because I had neck surgery.
No, I had back surgery.
Let me think this throughsurgery or back, sir, neck
surgery and but then we didn'tlike it needed something because
I knew I was going to havetrouble sleeping, so that was
going to give me a better option, so we bought this recliner 350
(07:51):
bucks maybe yeah, it wasn'tmuch from From Big Lots.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, nothing great, nothing fancy.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Nothing fancy, you know.
Reasonable guy to it Was not agreat recliner, that I thought.
So we thought, hey, here's agood chance.
Hey, he could use it, take itdown there.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
He never never touched it, never used it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It sat beside his other recliner.
That was broke.
That was broke, he neverreplaced.
That's so funny.
So we had that recliner intables coffee tables, oh my
goodness.
And and all that had an old,like antique ashtray thing that
had a little handle thing.
It was porcelain on the top.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
A little handle and a couple of the ashtray had the
hole in the middle and thehandle went through the ashtray
yeah and it sat down on the top,and then there was a bottom I
don't know what you call it uh,the bottom of the tray it was
like a way it was wire yeah itwas wire, so it had another um
(08:50):
shelf.
Yeah, I guess you could call ityeah so we I made for magazines
yeah, could be could be.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Could be.
You know furniture back thenand now they're designed totally
different because of your needsand stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Like this is designed for cigarettes.
I've never seen him use that,by the way, he never used that,
so all we could figure out isthis came from your mama's house
.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I think so, we think so this thing could probably be
60 or 80 years old and it lookedold and I researched it and
found some that said that it wasantique, vintage type stuff
that could be kind of pricey.
And then I found stuff thatlooked like it too that was
worth $15.
So we're like this could orcould not be expensive and sure
(09:34):
we can hold on to it, but reallydo we need to?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
let it go, let it go.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Of course we sold it yesterday.
Um, and then some tools andjust just odds and ends, glasses
, and then we mixed in our stuffwith it and all that.
So what we're getting to goahead so my dad was a glass
drinker.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
He didn't drink out of plastic stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Just coffee, though?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, he drank coffee out of a plastic coffee cup.
It was a plastic.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just like you'd get at a just.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It looked like it came from a restaurant.
It does.
That's exactly what that lookslike.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I can remember, you get a brown coffee cup, plastic
coffee cup.
That's what I'm thinking of.
At'm thinking of places thatyou get.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, that's what these look like and, but this
one was black and that's whatthat was his favorite coffee cup
, but now when he drank pepsi orwhatever.
It was always out of a glassyeah we always had glasses.
Yeah, never plastic, and I hateglass.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, all we got is plastic I'm good with plastic,
but the glass will hold itscoolness a little bit, maybe a A
little bit better Maybe.
Yeah, he had a lot more cups inplace that a single person
really needed.
Well, none of them matched andnone of them matched.
None of them matched and thenhe had green cup, a glass, green
glass with a white.
(10:51):
I don't how do you explain this.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You could say antique-ish it reminds me of
what what some people eat like asundae out of yep, that's right
.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That kind of square, that kind of like a pentacon
glass and then it had thatbottom on there yeah, so the
whole thing is green except thebottom.
The bottom is clear glass, therest of it is like a green, the
bottom was like frosted wasn'tit.
I think so.
Anyway, he's had them forever,he's had those forever, so
there's no telling.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Those were mama's.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, those were his mama's, so those were my
great-grandmother's.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, so those were old, old.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So those were old.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
But we gave those to a family member because they
wanted, but he had promisedthose to, I guess everybody, I
guess he promised those to youand several other people, so we
just felt like it's better.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Just you know I really didn't want them yeah,
but since he but I would havenever told him that, yeah, yeah
so he always said they're gonnabe yours one day always one day.
So yeah, we had to drag allthat stuff out yeah, it's just
my question is yard sales worthit?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
and let's do the pros and cons, and having a yard
sale depends on what your teamis.
Do you have a team in your yardsale project?
I guess you'd say, if you'vegot several people involved, yes
, hey, you can throw this thingtogether pretty good.
It's still.
It's a lot of work, don't getme wrong.
But if it's just a couple ofyou doing it, is it really worth
(12:27):
it?
And, depending on your location, are you able to advertise?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't think we were in a good location, all that
stuff.
So we found out yesterday Ithought we were.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
We found out yesterday, the highway that we
had high hopes for something andhigh expectations, and we
shouldn't have, at least to me.
I'm going to speak for myself.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I think we sold more on Facebook when I put pictures
on Facebook than we did sittingthere.
But every person that camebought something that's right,
our first group.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It was a total of 14 that they bought and I basically
let them price it the way theywant to.
It was some old, good old boys,good old country guys and, I
guess, a wife maybe, I guess,maybe just yeah, ask me how much
for this.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Just out riding hunting them.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, with some tools and some hey, and that's what
I'm telling you.
These are like heavy-dutystaples that are in a little box
.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I know they asked me and I like I didn't even know
what they were, and then aplastic handle, an old axe like
a hatchet.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And then some wiring that I knew that somebody would
use a dollar and I know it'sexpensive if you go by noon, but
I'm like I'm not gonna cheatnobody out of anything.
So when he asked me how muchfor this, I said what do you
think?
And he's like oh, you tell me.
I'm like look, I'm not gonnajip you on anything.
Whatever you think's fair,that's what I'll sell it to you
for and have we not talked aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
we don't like when people do that, I know.
Just give us a price.
Yeah, it makes me mad If I gothere and you want to give me a
price?
Yeah, but you just donesomebody like that Because I did
not want to jib them.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Plus, in my mind I'm thinking if I tell this guy $10
for this thing of wiring, Idon't want to in his mind think
this guy is crazy.
Why does he want $?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So now do you look at yard sales different when
stuff's not priced and you'regoing to go and have to ask
people?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Nope, I still have the same thing.
Why do you not have this priced?
If you're going to have a yardsale, you price it before I get
there.
So I know what you want for it.
I didn't price it, I know.
Look, I know I did it, I did it.
I didn't price it.
I put it out there because Iwant them to tell me what they
want, because I want it gone andI want a fair price.
You tell me.
And if you jip me, I hope youcan sleep good tonight, for you
(14:40):
know, whatever I don't care, butthe little axe or the, what do
I call it?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, it was like an axe handle thing or something.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I just said it, you said axe.
It's a smaller axe.
What do you call it, hatchet?
You said axe.
It wasn't.
It's a smaller axe.
What do you call it hatchet?
A little plastic, yeah, plastichandle, hatchet.
He won't know how much for that.
I said what do you think?
I said a dollar.
He said how, about two dollars?
I was gonna say two dollars andjody said a dollar, and I'm like
and he said what sure so hethat?
(15:11):
And then he bought some.
But anyway, we'll get off ofthese guys.
That said, but you know justsome good old country people
that came up there talking aboutfishing and all kinds of stuff.
But uh, so I found out that thesign I put on the side of a
major road might not have beenbig enough and maybe I should
have had more.
And I wasn't able to write likewith a magic marker on it.
(15:32):
What an era point which it wascommon sense, knowing it was
there.
And then we didn't have enoughsigns because by the time I did
that there was only one sign forone side of the mailbox.
I needed one on the other sideto get traffic coming from the
other way, and at the end of theother road I should have had a
sign down there, because wedidn't realize what was down
there and how busy the road isto get people drawn in, so we
(15:56):
lost business if you want tolook at it that way, I don't
know.
But when I thought the road,because when I cut grass and all
that, there's a ton of carsthat come down this road.
But when you sit out there at ayard sale and watch cars go by,
nobody comes by.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Nobody.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So there was no traffic.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
But the weekend before the fourth are people
gone I don't think you canpeople vacation the week okay,
so if you say they vacation theweek of the fourth.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
There's a lot of local people around there yeah
they're not vacationing now nextweekend for the fourth of july,
that saturday after there arepeople going out saying let's
hit some yard sales after thefourth.
They've got their check, theygot their money in their hand.
Or is that going to be a waste?
Should we do another one to tryand clean up next saturday, or
do we just wait and do it in acouple of weeks?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
so many factors.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It depends on how holiday.
That's why it look all right,let me get on holidays no, we're
not putting all holidays.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
all Saturday, all holidays go on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
No, none of this.
Different Thanksgiving's not onevery Thursday anymore.
We're throwing it on Saturday,your 4th of July.
That might be on a Monday nextyear and a Wednesday the year
after that and a Friday thisyear.
We ain't having none of thatanymore.
We're just dedicated to acertain day, and that's Saturday
.
All holidays are on saturday,no matter what.
(17:19):
I ain't giving no teachersunion a three-day weekend with
federal workers.
Three three-day week, no, nomore of that.
That's what it's designed for Idon't care.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's what labor day was yeah, you're one of them.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Because you like that extra day off, you got that
right.
People like me don't get it wehave to work holidays.
We have to do that, so I'm forthe you could for the working
man that has to work theseholidays.
I'm putting on saturday.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Now I realize that you work on saturday too, so
what's the difference?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm doing it for the people.
I'm not doing it for theselfishness of me, doing it for
the people then the people likethe three-day weekend I realize
that people, I'm doing it forthe people that have that don't
get that.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, and I realize that people, I'm doing it for
the people that don't get that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And I realize that people work on Saturday.
So they're saying, jody, thismakes no sense, I have to work
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
No, so I realize it, but I'm sorry.
Everything's on Saturday.
Christmas is now on Saturday,that's perfect.
We can shut everything down.
You ain't got to say, hey, whatdoes Christmas fall on this
year, what day of the week?
I ain't got to look it up, Iautomatically know it's a
Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
We're talking about yard sales, not holidays.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm done.
I'm done, but I was just sayingit depends on how a holiday
falls.
If you're going to have a yardsale also, I mean the stuff's
already drug out.
It ain't going gonna take uswell, most of it we just put
under the carport.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So yeah, the big.
Hopefully it's still there.
Yeah, if they need it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I guess I'm willing to do it just one more time and
that's it.
After one more time it's likefree to a good home or it's
being burnt you're gonna put itout by the side of the road and
say free.
Yeah, free.
So that's my question.
So are yard sales worth it?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think, if you like it, it is, and we do like to do
it.
I think it's all about location.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That was totally about location, if you've got a
good spot with plenty ofvehicles going by, yeah, it's
worth it, but after we got itset up, we just sat there and
chilled.
Oh, it was.
It was nice to just sit there,but it seemed like it took about
an hour before we got.
It wasn't an hour, but it feltlike it.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Uh, for first straggled in our first customer
hey, and let me tell you thiswell, the first customer was
kind of early and then afterthat yeah, but let me get.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Let me do this now.
Don't get me wrong here, but dopeople not know how to park?
How to stupid y'all?
We have a driveway, all right.
You come off the road and youpull into into the driveway
right and you can go left orright and park in the yard, or
you can park in the driveway.
That's fine.
Don't stay in the road and justpark and block.
(19:54):
Now there's a fence right, soyou.
You park in our driveway longway like you're parallel with
the road.
You're still in the road.
You're blocking you just pulledoff like on a shoulder yeah,
it's like you've just put yourmercy lights on and you've just
stopped in the middle of theroad, pretty much right, that's
almost like it is, and we hadtwo people do that like it
wasn't nothing.
I'm like are you and I hopethat one person doesn't listen
(20:17):
to this and they might be alistener, but I'm questioning
you?
I don't understand, because Ithink of other people when it
comes to that.
I'm like I don't want to blockanybody coming in, especially
getting out.
Amanda got quiet real quickwhen I brought this up I don't
know why but I couldn'tunderstand that.
(20:37):
And one of them was an Alabamafan.
I found out because he wasquestioning a lot of stuff.
We had a little jawing sessionwhen it came to pricing on
something.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Was that the mailman?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well, he blocked it too.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Mailman.
I'll give it to the mailmanbecause he's got signs and a lot
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
He just hopped out for a minute.
He just hopped out.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
And he did something very questionable too.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I didn't think he was even going to stop.
Let's talk about him.
I mean, I didn't think he puthis car in stop.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We're going to get to him here in just a second.
I'm going to bring it up.
Oh, dear but before that allright, we're back to the guy
that was an Alabama fan.
I had some Auburn stuff thatwas for sale.
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, Okay, sohe's asking who's an Auburn fan
and I'm like it depends on who'sasking and you know why you're
asking.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Anyway, if you're not from Alabama, you probably
don't know that we're talkingabout Alabama and Auburn
football.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Everybody knows Alabama-Auburn rivalry Rivalry.
Yeah, I'm not like I used to be, I don't care anymore.
That might be because Auburnisn't worth anything anymore.
They're just terrible andwhatever.
So he brings a hat up therethat I had $3 on it and he said
you know, oh, he's the one, thathe's the one.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
did he say?
He said will you take $2 for it?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And then something like since you're an Auburn fan,
will you take $2 for it?
And I said well, since you'rean Alabama fan, I should charge
you $4 for it.
And I said well, how about this?
Let's just meet in the middleand you pay $3 for it.
That was back to the originalprice, just because I was being
a smart butt about it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
And it was a name brand.
That's why I had one moredollar on it than the other ones
.
I put two on the other ones andthree on that one, but I gave
it to him for two dollars I knowyou cut me.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I know you cut me Back to the mailman.
We had some people there thatwe knew that we hadn't seen in a
while.
Oh yeah, talking to him andeverything.
So the mailman comes by, hestops, he gets out with the mail
and he's asking you know youkind of what you know?
(22:44):
Hey, do you want me to keepdelivering, or just let me know
if you're going to start havingit redirected to another address
?
So then he asked about thetattoo on the leg of the person
that's.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You know that we're talking to, and they had a big
tattoo on their leg and thistattoo is of a dog.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Her dog apparently.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It looks like a French bulldog maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It was very detailed, it was nice.
I mean, I'm not going to have apicture of a dog on my leg or
my chest or my back or my bodynow, I'm not getting a dog
tattoo.
I'm just gonna tell you thatright now but if you're into
that, that's fine.
It's just stuck up your butt,she's yeah I have a dog right
beside me, so I don't need atattoo right anyway so, but it
was a nice tattoo, yeah, uh, andso he's he.
(23:34):
You know he was saying, hey, whodid that?
You know, it looks good allthis kind of stuff.
And then she said, well, theguy also, you know, did the
tattoo of the dog that's on myback.
And so she spun around and whatkind of top did she have on a?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
tank top, just a tank top, or whatever like that.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Well, the it's the dog tattoo was kind of on the
shoulder going into the back.
Yeah, all this kind of stuffright there, so you really
couldn't see it good.
So old mailman decides to goahead and grab the old strap and
kind of pull it over rightthere so he could see the whole
(24:11):
tattoo.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
She was okay with it.
I think she was okay with it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
I would have just been like,yeah, that's nice, see the whole
tattoo.
And she was okay with it.
She was okay with it.
But I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
I was been like I would havejust been like, yeah, that's
nice, you know what I?
I wouldn't even say what alittle bit I can say of the dog.
I wouldn't have said anythingbecause then she would might
have like pulled it over them.
So you could say, but I surewouldn't have put my hands on
her and like pulled down thatwas very, and her husband's
standing there yeah so I meantto ask you about that later on.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I wouldn't have liked it myself.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
No, no, no, Don't you ask permission.
I don't know, I mean, if youwere going to do that.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't know I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Anyway, I didn't need to see the tattoo that bad for
you to do it.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I could just glance at it.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That was very interesting.
We had an interesting dayyesterday.
So are yard sales worth it?
They're worth going to.
I tell you, we went to, I don'tknow A year or two ago, all the
yard sales that we went to.
There was nothing.
It was either overpriced or itwas just junk.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Well, this year we should do the 127-mile yard sale
127-mile yard sale.
Where's that?
The one?
That's the one that we've donebefore.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I thought that was called like the 1,000-mile yard
sale.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's the 127.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Why is it 127?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I think that might be the road actually, not miles.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Is that the one up in Tennessee that we went to at
that time?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
We usually start in Tennessee and come down to
Nakalula Falls.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah that's right.
Doesn't it end like right there?
Or is that when it kind oftapers off in the direction we
don't go out there?
Or is that when it kind oftapers off in the direction we
don't go?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, that's where it starts.
So we go on up and then, butdoes it?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
really start there if you're living in another state
coming down south.
Yeah, aren't you going to saywe're trying to get to the
starting point.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
It goes from here to here.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You start up there and you work your way down to
the start.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
So anyway, we should do that one.
I don't know we might Take ourmics.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, let's just gather up some more stuff.
We'll have one more yard sale.
Get it out of my system and Iprobably won't ever have another
yard sale.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It's in your system, all right.
I thought you was going to putme out there for sale.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
If I can make a dollar off of something.
I think that's kind of likewith some of that stuff.
When I asked him, you know howmuch would you pay for it?
It's something like in my mindI'm like I am going to throw
this away, I'm going to get ridof it, so just give me something
for it, that's what in my mind.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
that's what I'm thinking, just whatever the
price they're going to tell meI'll just take it.
That's fine.
But I'm just thinking You'retotally opposite.
When you go to the yard sale,you won't even ask them how much
.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You're right, it's just a different mindset.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
You can't be that way you can because you're making.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You can't be that way .
Well, I was, and I am I isContradictive.
I'm contradicting myself.
I contradict myself all thetime.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Is that right?
Yeah, I don't even know if I'musing it, right.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, especially if you're going to be selfish about
stuff.
That's when you contradictyourself, because you know, hey,
I want it this way for me, butnot for others.
Yeah.
I like throwing out prices.
That's fine, whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I like it priced.
I don't like to ask for prices,but then I didn't want to price
yesterday at all.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
So this goes back to too I don't want to price
clothes.
Yeah, but clothes do need,unless you have a box or
something set up or a table andyou just say everything on the
table and you've got like adollar or 50 cents or whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
That's what I did yesterday.
I'm like a dollar.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Dress is two dollars.
That's easy, everybody gets it.
I had a thing over here towhere it was tools, loose tools.
Then it was a bunch of sockets,but they're separate and
everything.
And I'm thinking I don't knowif, if you went through all of
them, you might have a couple ofsets of sockets, but it is a
ton of sockets and I mean, ifthere's just a certain socket
that you need, I mean, so I'mnot pricing every single one of
them.
And then how do you price?
(28:03):
I mean, some of those socketsare like six bucks if you went
and bought them new.
But of course I'm not going toget $2 for one socket.
So 50 cents, I don't know.
Tell me If you need that socket, that bad, just tell me what
you want for it and I'll sell itto you.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
But if you go to a yard sale your stuff better be
priced because Joe didn't buy it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, because if I get up there and it's not priced
, I'm going to gripe to you andsay I cannot believe it.
What are they thinking?
Apparently, they don't want tosell it because it's not priced.
That's the way I feel when I'min a store or anything like that
.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
We price the big stuff though.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
But that's the thing I it.
You make no sense.
These people ask me the priceso I'm obligated to talk to them
.
Now, I'm not obligated.
If you don't have a price, I'mjust obligated to say I guess I
ain't buying it because youain't got a price.
I know it makes no sense.
You make no sense.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
You keep showing them that.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What has she got On the?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
yard sale.
Have we covered enough?
Yeah, on the yard sale.
I'm done with the yard sale,are you Until next weekend?
All right, let's talk about MrBeast.
Maybe we should do it on the4th.
You get more On the 4th Traffic.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, people don't have yard sale, they're not.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's not.
I mean, I don't mean on thefourth, I mean next weekend is
the fourth weekend the fifthyou're talking about the fourth.
Yeah, yeah, whatever, I don'tcare.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I said, no, it feels weird to be doing that on a
holiday weekend, but I'm goodwith it if people show up.
Oh, but I was willing to doBOGO deals, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He was getting rid of all of it.
Yeah, I think I probably.
We just probably need to lineit up and just take separate
pictures of it and put it onFacebook and it'll be gone.
I think you do that, causethat's what I did.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I think you do that.
We do that Friday like theFriday evening, and you post it
out there and say Push it outthere and say, hey, this will be
at the yard sale tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
And then see what happens.
But, then let's talk about this.
If we're back on the yard saleI was trying to get off the yard
sale, so if you put somethingout there and then you get
messaged, or whether it'sthrough a direct message, or if
they send you a text on, hey,how about this couch and this
(30:23):
chair and this, how much haveyou got for all three of those?
Or whatever it is and then youtell them and then they're like
all right, I'm going to see if Ican get so-and-so to come get
it.
And you're like okay, and thisis like late in the day, when
you're about ready to startshutting it down, shut her down,
(30:44):
right, right.
And so an hour goes by and it'slike I've cleaned up and just
those three or four pieces thatthis person is coming to get is
just sitting there.
I'm waiting.
So what do you do?
You text them.
You message them and you say hey, are you coming to get them?
You text them, you message themand you say hey, were you
(31:06):
coming to get it.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I already told them to let me know.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
All right, but you did it again, right.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
No, I never did it again.
Never did it again, never didit again.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
So who's in the right and who's in the wrong?
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
You don't know.
I know who it is.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It's the person that tells you Okay, I'm not coming
today, you should have said.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I don't know for sure if we're going to be able to
get it Probably not.
Can you hold on to it orwhatever?
Tell us something.
Don't leave it up in the airlike, yeah, we might be coming,
we might not, I don't you know.
No, tell us, but the thing isyou don't ever answer back.
(31:45):
Did they ever answer back?
No, what's up with that?
Look, I've lost it for society.
Society is over with.
This is like respect for people.
All this stuff, it's over it'sgone.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
It's gone, all right, no more yard sale I just don't
understand people don't thinkabout other.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
you, you leave everything open, right?
It's like because I don't careanything about what y'all are
doing.
Yeah, I'm going to see if I canget so-and-so to come get it,
and then I'm just shutting thatdoor, closing that window.
I'm not talking to y'all, nomore or anything, while we're
like, what do we do?
Are we still waiting on them?
If somebody comes by and wantsthis, can I sell it?
(32:20):
Are they supposed to let youknow something?
What is the deal?
Oh, we don't know, because theywon't ever answer you.
Tell you anything?
Oh, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Get off your soapbox.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
All right, mr Beast, mr Beast.
So who do you think Mr Beast is?
I don't know, I just know thename.
I haven't read this article ina week or so, so I don't
remember exactly.
I don't want to talk about it.
Yes, no, yes, we won't talkabout it.
Hurry up.
Mr Beast is like an influencerYouTuber.
He's the guy that figured outthe algorithm for the YouTube
(32:56):
and started getting views,follows, subscribers, whatever
you want to call it.
And then he's in millions andmillions and now he's like a
billionaire.
Because he figured he.
He got to the point where he'sgot a team now that they dissect
.
He's the one that realized that, hey, at 3.5 seconds, if you
haven't got the people'sattention, they're scrolling,
(33:18):
they're gone.
He's realizing how important athumbnail is.
He's realizing this.
He's realizing that.
He's realizing that the20-second mark if you've stayed
on topic, you need to throwsomething in there, bam, to keep
them watching, to get thatlength in there, that kind of
thing.
He figured all that out.
He broke the algorithm.
(33:39):
In other words, that's whathe's known for.
He broke the algorithm.
In other words, that's whathe's known for.
So he takes over Disneyland for$500,000 for a date night in an
empty park.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Did you know you could do that?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I guess you've got a lot to catch up A lot to what
you need to catch up.
What do you mean?
Catch up, that's nice.
All right, let me read.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
That's nice.
All right, let me read.
Mr Beast is pulling out all thestops for a one-of-a-kind date
night with an eye-popping pricetag.
Would you pay First of all?
Would you pay that kind ofthing?
If you had the money, would youpay that kind of?
Thing for date night Sure AtDisneyland.
Did I say Disneyland or DisneyWorld you?
Speaker 2 (34:19):
said Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Disneyland, that's California, right, I don't know,
disney world is orlando.
Are you just saying that?
Are you, are you done?
I'm hungry, oh, I am too, butI'm like I'm not gonna tell you
I'm about to take my picnicblanket and go.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'm not sure I have shorts on under the dress okay,
he don't even give me time tochange when we get home from
church.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, I know there's so much going on, so much.
All right.
So the content creator, whosereal name is Jimmy Donaldson,
how did he?
go from my name.
I'm Mr Beast, but your realname's Jimmy Donaldson.
He spent weeks planning datesfor his fiance and himself.
In a recent video sharing onYouTube, after the pair went on
(35:02):
a number of romantic excursionscosting anywhere from $1,000 to
$100,000,.
Talking about the otherexcursion, the couple headed to
the grand finale a $500,000private night at Disneyland.
Disney won't just hand overtheir keys to anyone, but for
this once in a lifetime date,they were given the entire park
(35:25):
for one night.
Mr beast said.
I wonder what the time was.
One night there's you can'ttell me that disneyland, because
they make a lot more than thatin a day, or a night you know.
So you know they, they would becosting them money if they shut
stuff down.
So we've got to be talking like10 o'clock at night to two in
the morning or something, Idon't know.
Something like that I wouldthink.
(35:46):
Uh, the group did star wars,galaxy's edge.
Do you know what that is?
I know there's a star warstheme, yeah where they uh hopped
on a ride, relished in the factthat there was no line, then
built their own lightsabers uh,an activity that typically books
out far in advance, so I guessit's a popular thing uh, next up
(36:08):
the disneyland's giant ferriswheel.
Uh, after a round of games, thegroup.
So I guess he's got a group offriends.
Probably you know what I'mthinking.
I bet he's got his weddingparty.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
He's got his content the wedding party.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
He's got his content people.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Or the wedding party.
You said fiance, well, so thatmakes me think.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
But I'm thinking videographers from his creative
side of it.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
That makes me think he took the wedding party.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Maybe so.
So after a round of games, thegroup secured multiple stuffed
animal prizes.
Rounding out the night, theyenjoyed a dinner at a
flower-lined table in front ofSleeping Beauty Castle.
Do you know where that's at?
I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
You won't take me to Disney, so I don't know, I know,
I know I've been one time, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I did not see the castle.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
But that wasn't quite the end of the night, mr Beast
admitted, as he led the group toone last surprise a private
Disney parade complete withbeloved characters, twinkling
lights and stunning floats.
The day was truly once in alifetime.
The creator reflected.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
The video comes days after he revealed he is asking
his mom to help pay for hiswedding.
Why are you looking at me likethat?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
What.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
What Did you not hear what I just said?
Did the video come?
He put out the video that thisis what they did.
Let them know.
Hey, you know, I took myfiancee.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
He don't need help.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So the video comes days after he revealed that he
asked his mom to help pay forhis wedding.
He don't need it, okay, despitebeing worth an estimated $1
billion per celebrity net worthI guess that's either the
newspaper or whatever it iswebsite.
He claims he has very littlemoney and needs his family's
(37:55):
support to fund his upcomingnuptials.
Responding to a post on Nextwhich describes MrBeast as the
only billionaire under 30 tohave not inherited his wealth,
the YouTuber with more than 400million subscribers wrote I
personally have very littlemoney because I reinvest
everything.
(38:16):
I think this year we're spendingaround a quarter of a billion
on content alone.
So, ironically, I'm actuallyborrowing money from my mom to
pay for my upcoming wedding, andit has LOL, which I love that
he continued adding.
But sure, on paper, thebusinesses I own are worth a lot
.
In addition to posting videosacross several platforms, often
(38:42):
featuring outrageous stunts andbig-ticket giveaways, he also
hosts the reality competitionseries Beast Games, which we
watched one episode.
I don't think we got past one.
I mean, I think it would havebeen very you know.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah, I don't know why we went back.
You didn't go back to it.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Which it awards its first season winner a
record-breaking $10 million inprizes.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
So why did you waste money and go to Disneyland
instead of putting $5 million onyour wedding?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
You mean $500,000?
Oh, whatever it was, it was$500,000.
I don't know, I mean what doeshe plan on doing?
He's a billionaire Number one.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
It's usually the bride that pays for the wedding,
not the guy.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
But if you're a billionaire, are you still
saying, hey, your parents, yourmom and dad's going to have to?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
pay for this, don't you know?
Well, apparently he don't haveno money for himself.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
So what I'm saying is so you're a billionaire, you're
lacking in money, cash assets,I guess I mean you've got all
this.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
He don't got nothing in his bank account.
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Well, that's not what I'm saying.
That's what he's saying.
So he's asking his mom for help, but now what I'm saying is so
how much is his wedding going tobe?
Are we talking, since hedoesn't have a lot of cash on
hand and all this stuff?
Is it going to be?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
a simple why wasn't that the wedding when they went
to the Disney World?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I wouldn't think Well , hold on now, let's do this Now
.
If he paid $500,000 for onenight at Disneyland and he's
asking his mom to help pay forthe wedding because he don't
have much money, did he pay forthe $500,000 at Disneyland?
Or somebody else, because I wasabout to say, well, is it going
(40:25):
to be like a cheap wedding?
But it ain't going to be acheap wedding if he splurged
$500,000 for one night atDisneyland.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, tax write-off.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
So how does his mom have this much?
I don't know anything about hisparents or anything like that.
I was just thinking he'ssomebody that just you know they
didn't have a whole lot, just anormal person, and he got all
this wealth, unless he's gave abunch to them and now he's
asking for I don't know.
That's crazy.
I just found that storyinteresting.
Whether you did or not, I guessthat's a different question.
(40:58):
I feel like I'm wasting my time.
Well, you're looking at me, butwhatever I don't understand why
he don't got no money.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
He just told you.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Because he invested.
Yeah, he's just.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Well then, pull that investment out.
You should be saving.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah, I think he's full of crap myself.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
That's what I think.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
I think it's just something he's saying that looks
bad.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I's saying that looks bad.
I'm sorry, that looks bad.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
If he came out and we find out, oh, he's getting
married and the story comes outthat he's asking his mom to help
pay for the wedding because hedoesn't have the assets or you
know, cash assets to do it.
Okay, that's fine, because youreinvest all his money, got it,
to do it.
Okay, that's fine, because youreinvest all his money, got it.
But then if you start the storyoff where he paid $500,000 for
(41:46):
a night to this and then nowhe's asking mom, I'm like that
doesn't make sense.
The story doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Maybe it's fake news.
Fake news, all right, I'm goingto eat.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I am too, I am starving.
All right, I'm going to eat.
I am too, I am starving.
We got barbecue.
I'm ready for it.
I'm going to eat me threebarbecue sandwiches and some
baked beans and some pickles andsome pickles.
What's that little full moon?
What's that little sauce ChowChow.
Chow Chow, spicy Chow Chow,kind of stuff.
Is it Chow Chow?
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Let's go.
We need to get a whole bucketof that and bring home.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I think I could put that chow chow, they sell it.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
I could put it on everything I think We've had it
before.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
What about a taco you ?
Speaker 1 (42:25):
think that'd go good on a taco.
I don't care for it, so I thinkit would All right.

Yeah, your earrings arepatriotic.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You didn't say my earrings.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I do like your earrings.
They're patriotic.
You are patriotic colors, butthe skirt is a picnic-y theme
yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It was between this one or blue.
If you had a basket in yourhand, have I should have.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So we want to talk about yard sales, because we had
a yard sale yesterday.
We've had yard sales in thepast.
We've gone to yard sales in thepast.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I love going to yard sales.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
We used to go to yard sales all the time and I would
like to still start going, butnobody wants to get up as early
as I do and go like, find thestudy, you don't get up early.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Let's just put it that way, you have to tell me
we're going and I will get upearly.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We can make plans to say, alright, we're going to
yard sales this Friday night.
I can say, alright, I knowthere's a bunch of yard sales
tomorrow, let's get up and go toyard sales.
You'll be like, okay, just getme up 8.15 we'll be leaving the
house, bull Just get me up 8.15,.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
We'll be leaving the house, bull.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Loney, it's true, true statement.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
If I got up and woke you up at 5.30, if I got you up
at 5.30.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Why are we getting up at 5.30?
See, there you go.
I can say 6.15,.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You'd be like why don't you get up at 6.15?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I try to let you sleep At 6.15,.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You'd be like why don't you?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
get up at 6.15?
.
I try to let you sleep.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I try to make you sleep in, yeah so I'm still
scared of the spider.
I want to be.
You should be hitting the yardsales no later.
You should be at your firstyard sale no later than 7
o'clock.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
No later than 7.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That's what I yeah, and a real statement to me is
I'm leaving at 6 going to myfirst yard sale.
That's real to me.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, if we had a plan of action, if we had a list
of yard sales and we weren'tjust driving around, Okay, so,
like we used to get the paperand you could map out, I guess
you would say but they don't dothat anymore.
We used to get yards the paperand you'd look and say, hey,
there's a bunch of yards.
Yeah, you would get that onfriday night, so yeah you had to
(03:50):
get up early.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You just knew they're in and around town and say hey,
we can just hit them where nowit's like now, let's just go.
Well, if you saw a sign thatsaid you know yards of the mar,
you might see one or two.
Whatever you say, I knowthere's a couple out there at
least.
But now it's like you go out,you just drive around and find
them, you kind of zigzag back inour town to you know you'll run
(04:11):
across it's summertime sothat's what you want to get
started early anyway, because itgets so hot now.
That is true, but I want to getthere before people find the
good stuff, before it gets goneyou know I don't know, so we
don't do it anymore.
Hardly, you know, I don't.
We went, I think, maybe to onelast year.
Maybe, and that was justbecause it was beside this park
(04:33):
that we went to and we walkedaround it.
Was that not the same time wewalked?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
up the park, and then there's a yard sale right next
door to it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's because it just seems like there's not meaning
no, there's still a lot outthere.
You know when you need to findme some.
At one time the city was goingto put a tax on.
You'd have to have like apermit to have a yard sale and
stuff like that that's anegative.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's a big two thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's a negative, you know, leave me alone let me
say let me sell my junk.
Exactly this stuff's are boughtand paid we've probably several
times over and you're to tax meagain for selling it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
No, you're not, but anyway.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Anyway, We'll get off that point.
So we had a yard sale yesterdayand reasonably well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So your father recently passed away and so we
just need to clean out the houseand get furniture, stuff that
we know that, hey, we don't wantanybody.
You know anything that we hadfound that anybody needed, or
whatever.
We've kind of gave you know afew things here and there, but
everything else is like, look,we just need to start trying to
(05:39):
clean up and get rid of somestuff.
We'll have a yard sale, so weplan this out, and then all last
week this is sunday.
We're recording on a sunday, bythe way, a day that we do not
want to record on, but it alwayshappens we got to get different
and the reason I'm bringingthis up is because we had the
yard sale yesterday, so that wasbe saturday, and the week
leading up to it is taking stuffthat we have to add to the yard
(06:04):
sale.
If we can find some stuff, youknow whether it's clothes, shoes
furniture, my dad, he didn'thave much stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He didn't have it.
He was not a I will tell youthis though once I started
pulling this.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, once I cleaned this furniture we started
cleaning this stuff lastsaturday and that just any kind
of for any time you're going tojust kind of wipe stuff down and
get it ready.
I mean mean, that's a choreanyway.
So we did that.
But when I started hauling thisstuff outside, Because you
didn't wait on me.
Yesterday morning, because Ihad to get there before you did.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Because you didn't wait on me.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I was like how many end tables do you need?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You know, but you brought a couple from here.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I did.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right but still maybe .
Yeah.
But he still had tables.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Kitchen tables.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
He had little tables everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I guess you call it maybe like a dining room table,
possibly with the four chairs.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, that was the kitchen table.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No, that's not what I'm talking about, over there in
the living room next to thefireplace.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh yeah, it's a table .
It's a table with four chairs.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, and a bar stool , a couple of bar stools, a
couch, a recliner that we gavehim because he had complained
that his other recliner wasbroke, and he sleeps in a
recliner because he didn't likesleeping in a bed, so he's used
to his heart surgery, right yeah.
So, hey, we're going to givehim a recliner.
That was still new to us.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was still good.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
We bought it because I had neck surgery.
No, I had back surgery.
Let me think this throughsurgery or back, sir, neck
surgery and but then we didn'tlike it needed something because
I knew I was going to havetrouble sleeping, so that was
going to give me a better option, so we bought this recliner 350
(07:51):
bucks maybe yeah, it wasn'tmuch from From Big Lots.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, nothing great, nothing fancy.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Nothing fancy, you know.
Reasonable guy to it Was not agreat recliner, that I thought.
So we thought, hey, here's agood chance.
Hey, he could use it, take itdown there.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
He never never touched it, never used it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It sat beside his other recliner.
That was broke.
That was broke, he neverreplaced.
That's so funny.
So we had that recliner intables coffee tables, oh my
goodness.
And and all that had an old,like antique ashtray thing that
had a little handle thing.
It was porcelain on the top.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
A little handle and a couple of the ashtray had the
hole in the middle and thehandle went through the ashtray
yeah and it sat down on the top,and then there was a bottom I
don't know what you call it uh,the bottom of the tray it was
like a way it was wire yeah itwas wire, so it had another um
(08:50):
shelf.
Yeah, I guess you could call ityeah so we I made for magazines
yeah, could be could be.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Could be.
You know furniture back thenand now they're designed totally
different because of your needsand stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Like this is designed for cigarettes.
I've never seen him use that,by the way, he never used that,
so all we could figure out isthis came from your mama's house
.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I think so, we think so this thing could probably be
60 or 80 years old and it lookedold and I researched it and
found some that said that it wasantique, vintage type stuff
that could be kind of pricey.
And then I found stuff thatlooked like it too that was
worth $15.
So we're like this could orcould not be expensive and sure
(09:34):
we can hold on to it, but reallydo we need to?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
let it go, let it go.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Of course we sold it yesterday.
Um, and then some tools andjust just odds and ends, glasses
, and then we mixed in our stuffwith it and all that.
So what we're getting to goahead so my dad was a glass
drinker.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
He didn't drink out of plastic stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Just coffee, though?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, he drank coffee out of a plastic coffee cup.
It was a plastic.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just like you'd get at a just.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It looked like it came from a restaurant.
It does.
That's exactly what that lookslike.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I can remember, you get a brown coffee cup, plastic
coffee cup.
That's what I'm thinking of.
At'm thinking of places thatyou get.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, that's what these look like and, but this
one was black and that's whatthat was his favorite coffee cup
, but now when he drank pepsi orwhatever.
It was always out of a glassyeah we always had glasses.
Yeah, never plastic, and I hateglass.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, all we got is plastic I'm good with plastic,
but the glass will hold itscoolness a little bit, maybe a A
little bit better Maybe.
Yeah, he had a lot more cups inplace that a single person
really needed.
Well, none of them matched andnone of them matched.
None of them matched and thenhe had green cup, a glass, green
glass with a white.
(10:51):
I don't how do you explain this.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You could say antique-ish it reminds me of
what what some people eat like asundae out of yep, that's right
.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That kind of square, that kind of like a pentacon
glass and then it had thatbottom on there yeah, so the
whole thing is green except thebottom.
The bottom is clear glass, therest of it is like a green, the
bottom was like frosted wasn'tit.
I think so.
Anyway, he's had them forever,he's had those forever, so
there's no telling.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Those were mama's.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, those were his mama's, so those were my
great-grandmother's.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, so those were old, old.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So those were old.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
But we gave those to a family member because they
wanted, but he had promisedthose to, I guess everybody, I
guess he promised those to youand several other people, so we
just felt like it's better.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Just you know I really didn't want them yeah,
but since he but I would havenever told him that, yeah, yeah
so he always said they're gonnabe yours one day always one day.
So yeah, we had to drag allthat stuff out yeah, it's just
my question is yard sales worthit?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
and let's do the pros and cons, and having a yard
sale depends on what your teamis.
Do you have a team in your yardsale project?
I guess you'd say, if you'vegot several people involved, yes
, hey, you can throw this thingtogether pretty good.
It's still.
It's a lot of work, don't getme wrong.
But if it's just a couple ofyou doing it, is it really worth
(12:27):
it?
And, depending on your location, are you able to advertise?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't think we were in a good location, all that
stuff.
So we found out yesterday Ithought we were.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
We found out yesterday, the highway that we
had high hopes for something andhigh expectations, and we
shouldn't have, at least to me.
I'm going to speak for myself.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I think we sold more on Facebook when I put pictures
on Facebook than we did sittingthere.
But every person that camebought something that's right,
our first group.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It was a total of 14 that they bought and I basically
let them price it the way theywant to.
It was some old, good old boys,good old country guys and, I
guess, a wife maybe, I guess,maybe just yeah, ask me how much
for this.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Just out riding hunting them.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, with some tools and some hey, and that's what
I'm telling you.
These are like heavy-dutystaples that are in a little box
.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I know they asked me and I like I didn't even know
what they were, and then aplastic handle, an old axe like
a hatchet.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And then some wiring that I knew that somebody would
use a dollar and I know it'sexpensive if you go by noon, but
I'm like I'm not gonna cheatnobody out of anything.
So when he asked me how muchfor this, I said what do you
think?
And he's like oh, you tell me.
I'm like look, I'm not gonnajip you on anything.
Whatever you think's fair,that's what I'll sell it to you
for and have we not talked aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
we don't like when people do that, I know.
Just give us a price.
Yeah, it makes me mad If I gothere and you want to give me a
price?
Yeah, but you just donesomebody like that Because I did
not want to jib them.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Plus, in my mind I'm thinking if I tell this guy $10
for this thing of wiring, Idon't want to in his mind think
this guy is crazy.
Why does he want $?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So now do you look at yard sales different when
stuff's not priced and you'regoing to go and have to ask
people?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Nope, I still have the same thing.
Why do you not have this priced?
If you're going to have a yardsale, you price it before I get
there.
So I know what you want for it.
I didn't price it, I know.
Look, I know I did it, I did it.
I didn't price it.
I put it out there because Iwant them to tell me what they
want, because I want it gone andI want a fair price.
You tell me.
And if you jip me, I hope youcan sleep good tonight, for you
(14:40):
know, whatever I don't care, butthe little axe or the, what do
I call it?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, it was like an axe handle thing or something.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I just said it, you said axe.
It's a smaller axe.
What do you call it, hatchet?
You said axe.
It wasn't.
It's a smaller axe.
What do you call it hatchet?
A little plastic, yeah, plastichandle, hatchet.
He won't know how much for that.
I said what do you think?
I said a dollar.
He said how, about two dollars?
I was gonna say two dollars andjody said a dollar, and I'm like
and he said what sure so hethat?
(15:11):
And then he bought some.
But anyway, we'll get off ofthese guys.
That said, but you know justsome good old country people
that came up there talking aboutfishing and all kinds of stuff.
But uh, so I found out that thesign I put on the side of a
major road might not have beenbig enough and maybe I should
have had more.
And I wasn't able to write likewith a magic marker on it.
(15:32):
What an era point which it wascommon sense, knowing it was
there.
And then we didn't have enoughsigns because by the time I did
that there was only one sign forone side of the mailbox.
I needed one on the other sideto get traffic coming from the
other way, and at the end of theother road I should have had a
sign down there, because wedidn't realize what was down
there and how busy the road isto get people drawn in, so we
(15:56):
lost business if you want tolook at it that way, I don't
know.
But when I thought the road,because when I cut grass and all
that, there's a ton of carsthat come down this road.
But when you sit out there at ayard sale and watch cars go by,
nobody comes by.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Nobody.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So there was no traffic.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
But the weekend before the fourth are people
gone I don't think you canpeople vacation the week okay,
so if you say they vacation theweek of the fourth.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
There's a lot of local people around there yeah
they're not vacationing now nextweekend for the fourth of july,
that saturday after there arepeople going out saying let's
hit some yard sales after thefourth.
They've got their check, theygot their money in their hand.
Or is that going to be a waste?
Should we do another one to tryand clean up next saturday, or
do we just wait and do it in acouple of weeks?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
so many factors.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It depends on how holiday.
That's why it look all right,let me get on holidays no, we're
not putting all holidays.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
all Saturday, all holidays go on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
No, none of this.
Different Thanksgiving's not onevery Thursday anymore.
We're throwing it on Saturday,your 4th of July.
That might be on a Monday nextyear and a Wednesday the year
after that and a Friday thisyear.
We ain't having none of thatanymore.
We're just dedicated to acertain day, and that's Saturday
.
All holidays are on saturday,no matter what.
(17:19):
I ain't giving no teachersunion a three-day weekend with
federal workers.
Three three-day week, no, nomore of that.
That's what it's designed for Idon't care.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's what labor day was yeah, you're one of them.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Because you like that extra day off, you got that
right.
People like me don't get it wehave to work holidays.
We have to do that, so I'm forthe you could for the working
man that has to work theseholidays.
I'm putting on saturday.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Now I realize that you work on saturday too, so
what's the difference?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm doing it for the people.
I'm not doing it for theselfishness of me, doing it for
the people then the people likethe three-day weekend I realize
that people, I'm doing it forthe people that have that don't
get that.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, and I realize that people, I'm doing it for
the people that don't get that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
And I realize that people work on Saturday.
So they're saying, jody, thismakes no sense, I have to work
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
No, so I realize it, but I'm sorry.
Everything's on Saturday.
Christmas is now on Saturday,that's perfect.
We can shut everything down.
You ain't got to say, hey, whatdoes Christmas fall on this
year, what day of the week?
I ain't got to look it up, Iautomatically know it's a
Saturday.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
We're talking about yard sales, not holidays.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm done.
I'm done, but I was just sayingit depends on how a holiday
falls.
If you're going to have a yardsale also, I mean the stuff's
already drug out.
It ain't going gonna take uswell, most of it we just put
under the carport.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So yeah, the big.
Hopefully it's still there.
Yeah, if they need it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I guess I'm willing to do it just one more time and
that's it.
After one more time it's likefree to a good home or it's
being burnt you're gonna put itout by the side of the road and
say free.
Yeah, free.
So that's my question.
So are yard sales worth it?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I think, if you like it, it is, and we do like to do
it.
I think it's all about location.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That was totally about location, if you've got a
good spot with plenty ofvehicles going by, yeah, it's
worth it, but after we got itset up, we just sat there and
chilled.
Oh, it was.
It was nice to just sit there,but it seemed like it took about
an hour before we got.
It wasn't an hour, but it feltlike it.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Uh, for first straggled in our first customer
hey, and let me tell you thiswell, the first customer was
kind of early and then afterthat yeah, but let me get.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Let me do this now.
Don't get me wrong here, but dopeople not know how to park?
How to stupid y'all?
We have a driveway, all right.
You come off the road and youpull into into the driveway
right and you can go left orright and park in the yard, or
you can park in the driveway.
That's fine.
Don't stay in the road and justpark and block.
(19:54):
Now there's a fence right, soyou.
You park in our driveway longway like you're parallel with
the road.
You're still in the road.
You're blocking you just pulledoff like on a shoulder yeah,
it's like you've just put yourmercy lights on and you've just
stopped in the middle of theroad, pretty much right, that's
almost like it is, and we hadtwo people do that like it
wasn't nothing.
I'm like are you and I hopethat one person doesn't listen
(20:17):
to this and they might be alistener, but I'm questioning
you?
I don't understand, because Ithink of other people when it
comes to that.
I'm like I don't want to blockanybody coming in, especially
getting out.
Amanda got quiet real quickwhen I brought this up I don't
know why but I couldn'tunderstand that.
(20:37):
And one of them was an Alabamafan.
I found out because he wasquestioning a lot of stuff.
We had a little jawing sessionwhen it came to pricing on
something.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Was that the mailman?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well, he blocked it too.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Mailman.
I'll give it to the mailmanbecause he's got signs and a lot
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
He just hopped out for a minute.
He just hopped out.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
And he did something very questionable too.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I didn't think he was even going to stop.
Let's talk about him.
I mean, I didn't think he puthis car in stop.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We're going to get to him here in just a second.
I'm going to bring it up.
Oh, dear but before that allright, we're back to the guy
that was an Alabama fan.
I had some Auburn stuff thatwas for sale.
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, Okay, sohe's asking who's an Auburn fan
and I'm like it depends on who'sasking and you know why you're
asking.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Anyway, if you're not from Alabama, you probably
don't know that we're talkingabout Alabama and Auburn
football.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Everybody knows Alabama-Auburn rivalry Rivalry.
Yeah, I'm not like I used to be, I don't care anymore.
That might be because Auburnisn't worth anything anymore.
They're just terrible andwhatever.
So he brings a hat up therethat I had $3 on it and he said
you know, oh, he's the one, thathe's the one.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
did he say?
He said will you take $2 for it?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And then something like since you're an Auburn fan,
will you take $2 for it?
And I said well, since you'rean Alabama fan, I should charge
you $4 for it.
And I said well, how about this?
Let's just meet in the middleand you pay $3 for it.
That was back to the originalprice, just because I was being
a smart butt about it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
And it was a name brand.
That's why I had one moredollar on it than the other ones
.
I put two on the other ones andthree on that one, but I gave
it to him for two dollars I knowyou cut me.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I know you cut me Back to the mailman.
We had some people there thatwe knew that we hadn't seen in a
while.
Oh yeah, talking to him andeverything.
So the mailman comes by, hestops, he gets out with the mail
and he's asking you know youkind of what you know?
(22:44):
Hey, do you want me to keepdelivering, or just let me know
if you're going to start havingit redirected to another address
?
So then he asked about thetattoo on the leg of the person
that's.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You know that we're talking to, and they had a big
tattoo on their leg and thistattoo is of a dog.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Her dog apparently.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It looks like a French bulldog maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It was very detailed, it was nice.
I mean, I'm not going to have apicture of a dog on my leg or
my chest or my back or my bodynow, I'm not getting a dog
tattoo.
I'm just gonna tell you thatright now but if you're into
that, that's fine.
It's just stuck up your butt,she's yeah I have a dog right
beside me, so I don't need atattoo right anyway so, but it
was a nice tattoo, yeah, uh, andso he's he.
(23:34):
You know he was saying, hey, whodid that?
You know, it looks good allthis kind of stuff.
And then she said, well, theguy also, you know, did the
tattoo of the dog that's on myback.
And so she spun around and whatkind of top did she have on a?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
tank top, just a tank top, or whatever like that.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Well, the it's the dog tattoo was kind of on the
shoulder going into the back.
Yeah, all this kind of stuffright there, so you really
couldn't see it good.
So old mailman decides to goahead and grab the old strap and
kind of pull it over rightthere so he could see the whole
(24:11):
tattoo.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
She was okay with it.
I think she was okay with it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
I would have just been like,yeah, that's nice, see the whole
tattoo.
And she was okay with it.
She was okay with it.
But I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
I was been like I would havejust been like, yeah, that's
nice, you know what I?
I wouldn't even say what alittle bit I can say of the dog.
I wouldn't have said anythingbecause then she would might
have like pulled it over them.
So you could say, but I surewouldn't have put my hands on
her and like pulled down thatwas very, and her husband's
standing there yeah so I meantto ask you about that later on.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I wouldn't have liked it myself.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
No, no, no, Don't you ask permission.
I don't know, I mean, if youwere going to do that.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't know I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Anyway, I didn't need to see the tattoo that bad for
you to do it.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I could just glance at it.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That was very interesting.
We had an interesting dayyesterday.
So are yard sales worth it?
They're worth going to.
I tell you, we went to, I don'tknow A year or two ago, all the
yard sales that we went to.
There was nothing.
It was either overpriced or itwas just junk.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Well, this year we should do the 127-mile yard sale
127-mile yard sale.
Where's that?
The one?
That's the one that we've donebefore.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I thought that was called like the 1,000-mile yard
sale.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's the 127.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Why is it 127?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I think that might be the road actually, not miles.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Is that the one up in Tennessee that we went to at
that time?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
We usually start in Tennessee and come down to
Nakalula Falls.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah that's right.
Doesn't it end like right there?
Or is that when it kind oftapers off in the direction we
don't go out there?
Or is that when it kind oftapers off in the direction we
don't go?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Well, that's where it starts.
So we go on up and then, butdoes it?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
really start there if you're living in another state
coming down south.
Yeah, aren't you going to saywe're trying to get to the
starting point.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
It goes from here to here.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You start up there and you work your way down to
the start.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
So anyway, we should do that one.
I don't know we might Take ourmics.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, let's just gather up some more stuff.
We'll have one more yard sale.
Get it out of my system and Iprobably won't ever have another
yard sale.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It's in your system, all right.
I thought you was going to putme out there for sale.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
If I can make a dollar off of something.
I think that's kind of likewith some of that stuff.
When I asked him, you know howmuch would you pay for it?
It's something like in my mindI'm like I am going to throw
this away, I'm going to get ridof it, so just give me something
for it, that's what in my mind.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
that's what I'm thinking, just whatever the
price they're going to tell meI'll just take it.
That's fine.
But I'm just thinking You'retotally opposite.
When you go to the yard sale,you won't even ask them how much
.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You're right, it's just a different mindset.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
You can't be that way you can because you're making.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
You can't be that way .
Well, I was, and I am I isContradictive.
I'm contradicting myself.
I contradict myself all thetime.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Is that right?
Yeah, I don't even know if I'musing it, right.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, especially if you're going to be selfish about
stuff.
That's when you contradictyourself, because you know, hey,
I want it this way for me, butnot for others.
Yeah.
I like throwing out prices.
That's fine, whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I like it priced.
I don't like to ask for prices,but then I didn't want to price
yesterday at all.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
So this goes back to too I don't want to price
clothes.
Yeah, but clothes do need,unless you have a box or
something set up or a table andyou just say everything on the
table and you've got like adollar or 50 cents or whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
That's what I did yesterday.
I'm like a dollar.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Dress is two dollars.
That's easy, everybody gets it.
I had a thing over here towhere it was tools, loose tools.
Then it was a bunch of sockets,but they're separate and
everything.
And I'm thinking I don't knowif, if you went through all of
them, you might have a couple ofsets of sockets, but it is a
ton of sockets and I mean, ifthere's just a certain socket
that you need, I mean, so I'mnot pricing every single one of
them.
And then how do you price?
(28:03):
I mean, some of those socketsare like six bucks if you went
and bought them new.
But of course I'm not going toget $2 for one socket.
So 50 cents, I don't know.
Tell me If you need that socket, that bad, just tell me what
you want for it and I'll sell itto you.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
But if you go to a yard sale your stuff better be
priced because Joe didn't buy it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, because if I get up there and it's not priced
, I'm going to gripe to you andsay I cannot believe it.
What are they thinking?
Apparently, they don't want tosell it because it's not priced.
That's the way I feel when I'min a store or anything like that
.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
We price the big stuff though.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
But that's the thing I it.
You make no sense.
These people ask me the priceso I'm obligated to talk to them
.
Now, I'm not obligated.
If you don't have a price, I'mjust obligated to say I guess I
ain't buying it because youain't got a price.
I know it makes no sense.
You make no sense.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
You keep showing them that.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What has she got On the?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
yard sale.
Have we covered enough?
Yeah, on the yard sale.
I'm done with the yard sale,are you Until next weekend?
All right, let's talk about MrBeast.
Maybe we should do it on the4th.
You get more On the 4th Traffic.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, people don't have yard sale, they're not.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's not.
I mean, I don't mean on thefourth, I mean next weekend is
the fourth weekend the fifthyou're talking about the fourth.
Yeah, yeah, whatever, I don'tcare.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I said, no, it feels weird to be doing that on a
holiday weekend, but I'm goodwith it if people show up.
Oh, but I was willing to doBOGO deals, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He was getting rid of all of it.
Yeah, I think I probably.
We just probably need to lineit up and just take separate
pictures of it and put it onFacebook and it'll be gone.
I think you do that, causethat's what I did.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I think you do that.
We do that Friday like theFriday evening, and you post it
out there and say Push it outthere and say, hey, this will be
at the yard sale tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
And then see what happens.
But, then let's talk about this.
If we're back on the yard saleI was trying to get off the yard
sale, so if you put somethingout there and then you get
messaged, or whether it'sthrough a direct message, or if
they send you a text on, hey,how about this couch and this
(30:23):
chair and this, how much haveyou got for all three of those?
Or whatever it is and then youtell them and then they're like
all right, I'm going to see if Ican get so-and-so to come get
it.
And you're like okay, and thisis like late in the day, when
you're about ready to startshutting it down, shut her down,
(30:44):
right, right.
And so an hour goes by and it'slike I've cleaned up and just
those three or four pieces thatthis person is coming to get is
just sitting there.
I'm waiting.
So what do you do?
You text them.
You message them and you say hey, are you coming to get them?
You text them, you message themand you say hey, were you
(31:06):
coming to get it.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I already told them to let me know.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
All right, but you did it again, right.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
No, I never did it again.
Never did it again, never didit again.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
So who's in the right and who's in the wrong?
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
You don't know.
I know who it is.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
It's the person that tells you Okay, I'm not coming
today, you should have said.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I don't know for sure if we're going to be able to
get it Probably not.
Can you hold on to it orwhatever?
Tell us something.
Don't leave it up in the airlike, yeah, we might be coming,
we might not, I don't you know.
No, tell us, but the thing isyou don't ever answer back.
(31:45):
Did they ever answer back?
No, what's up with that?
Look, I've lost it for society.
Society is over with.
This is like respect for people.
All this stuff, it's over it'sgone.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
It's gone, all right, no more yard sale I just don't
understand people don't thinkabout other.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
you, you leave everything open, right?
It's like because I don't careanything about what y'all are
doing.
Yeah, I'm going to see if I canget so-and-so to come get it,
and then I'm just shutting thatdoor, closing that window.
I'm not talking to y'all, nomore or anything, while we're
like, what do we do?
Are we still waiting on them?
If somebody comes by and wantsthis, can I sell it?
(32:20):
Are they supposed to let youknow something?
What is the deal?
Oh, we don't know, because theywon't ever answer you.
Tell you anything?
Oh, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Get off your soapbox.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
All right, mr Beast, mr Beast.
So who do you think Mr Beast is?
I don't know, I just know thename.
I haven't read this article ina week or so, so I don't
remember exactly.
I don't want to talk about it.
Yes, no, yes, we won't talkabout it.
Hurry up.
Mr Beast is like an influencerYouTuber.
He's the guy that figured outthe algorithm for the YouTube
(32:56):
and started getting views,follows, subscribers, whatever
you want to call it.
And then he's in millions andmillions and now he's like a
billionaire.
Because he figured he.
He got to the point where he'sgot a team now that they dissect
.
He's the one that realized that, hey, at 3.5 seconds, if you
haven't got the people'sattention, they're scrolling,
(33:18):
they're gone.
He's realizing how important athumbnail is.
He's realizing this.
He's realizing that.
He's realizing that the20-second mark if you've stayed
on topic, you need to throwsomething in there, bam, to keep
them watching, to get thatlength in there, that kind of
thing.
He figured all that out.
He broke the algorithm.
(33:39):
In other words, that's whathe's known for.
He broke the algorithm.
In other words, that's whathe's known for.
So he takes over Disneyland for$500,000 for a date night in an
empty park.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Did you know you could do that?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I guess you've got a lot to catch up A lot to what
you need to catch up.
What do you mean?
Catch up, that's nice.
All right, let me read.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
That's nice.
All right, let me read.
Mr Beast is pulling out all thestops for a one-of-a-kind date
night with an eye-popping pricetag.
Would you pay First of all?
Would you pay that kind ofthing?
If you had the money, would youpay that kind of?
Thing for date night Sure AtDisneyland.
Did I say Disneyland or DisneyWorld you?
Speaker 2 (34:19):
said Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Disneyland, that's California, right, I don't know,
disney world is orlando.
Are you just saying that?
Are you, are you done?
I'm hungry, oh, I am too, butI'm like I'm not gonna tell you
I'm about to take my picnicblanket and go.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'm not sure I have shorts on under the dress okay,
he don't even give me time tochange when we get home from
church.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, I know there's so much going on, so much.
All right.
So the content creator, whosereal name is Jimmy Donaldson,
how did he?
go from my name.
I'm Mr Beast, but your realname's Jimmy Donaldson.
He spent weeks planning datesfor his fiance and himself.
In a recent video sharing onYouTube, after the pair went on
(35:02):
a number of romantic excursionscosting anywhere from $1,000 to
$100,000,.
Talking about the otherexcursion, the couple headed to
the grand finale a $500,000private night at Disneyland.
Disney won't just hand overtheir keys to anyone, but for
this once in a lifetime date,they were given the entire park
(35:25):
for one night.
Mr beast said.
I wonder what the time was.
One night there's you can'ttell me that disneyland, because
they make a lot more than thatin a day, or a night you know.
So you know they, they would becosting them money if they shut
stuff down.
So we've got to be talking like10 o'clock at night to two in
the morning or something, Idon't know.
Something like that I wouldthink.
(35:46):
Uh, the group did star wars,galaxy's edge.
Do you know what that is?
I know there's a star warstheme, yeah where they uh hopped
on a ride, relished in the factthat there was no line, then
built their own lightsabers uh,an activity that typically books
out far in advance, so I guessit's a popular thing uh, next up
(36:08):
the disneyland's giant ferriswheel.
Uh, after a round of games, thegroup.
So I guess he's got a group offriends.
Probably you know what I'mthinking.
I bet he's got his weddingparty.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
He's got his content the wedding party.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
He's got his content people.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Or the wedding party.
You said fiance, well, so thatmakes me think.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
But I'm thinking videographers from his creative
side of it.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
That makes me think he took the wedding party.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Maybe so.
So after a round of games, thegroup secured multiple stuffed
animal prizes.
Rounding out the night, theyenjoyed a dinner at a
flower-lined table in front ofSleeping Beauty Castle.
Do you know where that's at?
I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
You won't take me to Disney, so I don't know, I know,
I know I've been one time, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
I did not see the castle.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
But that wasn't quite the end of the night, mr Beast
admitted, as he led the group toone last surprise a private
Disney parade complete withbeloved characters, twinkling
lights and stunning floats.
The day was truly once in alifetime.
The creator reflected.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
The video comes days after he revealed he is asking
his mom to help pay for hiswedding.
Why are you looking at me likethat?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
What.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
What Did you not hear what I just said?
Did the video come?
He put out the video that thisis what they did.
Let them know.
Hey, you know, I took myfiancee.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
He don't need help.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So the video comes days after he revealed that he
asked his mom to help pay forhis wedding.
He don't need it, okay, despitebeing worth an estimated $1
billion per celebrity net worthI guess that's either the
newspaper or whatever it iswebsite.
He claims he has very littlemoney and needs his family's
(37:55):
support to fund his upcomingnuptials.
Responding to a post on Nextwhich describes MrBeast as the
only billionaire under 30 tohave not inherited his wealth,
the YouTuber with more than 400million subscribers wrote I
personally have very littlemoney because I reinvest
everything.
(38:16):
I think this year we're spendingaround a quarter of a billion
on content alone.
So, ironically, I'm actuallyborrowing money from my mom to
pay for my upcoming wedding, andit has LOL, which I love that
he continued adding.
But sure, on paper, thebusinesses I own are worth a lot
.
In addition to posting videosacross several platforms, often
(38:42):
featuring outrageous stunts andbig-ticket giveaways, he also
hosts the reality competitionseries Beast Games, which we
watched one episode.
I don't think we got past one.
I mean, I think it would havebeen very you know.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah, I don't know why we went back.
You didn't go back to it.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Which it awards its first season winner a
record-breaking $10 million inprizes.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
So why did you waste money and go to Disneyland
instead of putting $5 million onyour wedding?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
You mean $500,000?
Oh, whatever it was, it was$500,000.
I don't know, I mean what doeshe plan on doing?
He's a billionaire Number one.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
It's usually the bride that pays for the wedding,
not the guy.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
But if you're a billionaire, are you still
saying, hey, your parents, yourmom and dad's going to have to?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
pay for this, don't you know?
Well, apparently he don't haveno money for himself.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
So what I'm saying is so you're a billionaire, you're
lacking in money, cash assets,I guess I mean you've got all
this.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
He don't got nothing in his bank account.
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Well, that's not what I'm saying.
That's what he's saying.
So he's asking his mom for help, but now what I'm saying is so
how much is his wedding going tobe?
Are we talking, since hedoesn't have a lot of cash on
hand and all this stuff?
Is it going to be?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
a simple why wasn't that the wedding when they went
to the Disney World?
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I wouldn't think Well , hold on now, let's do this Now
.
If he paid $500,000 for onenight at Disneyland and he's
asking his mom to help pay forthe wedding because he don't
have much money, did he pay forthe $500,000 at Disneyland?
Or somebody else, because I wasabout to say, well, is it going
(40:25):
to be like a cheap wedding?
But it ain't going to be acheap wedding if he splurged
$500,000 for one night atDisneyland.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Yeah, tax write-off.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
So how does his mom have this much?
I don't know anything about hisparents or anything like that.
I was just thinking he'ssomebody that just you know they
didn't have a whole lot, just anormal person, and he got all
this wealth, unless he's gave abunch to them and now he's
asking for I don't know.
That's crazy.
I just found that storyinteresting.
Whether you did or not, I guessthat's a different question.
(40:58):
I feel like I'm wasting my time.
Well, you're looking at me, butwhatever I don't understand why
he don't got no money.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
He just told you.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Because he invested.
Yeah, he's just.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Well then, pull that investment out.
You should be saving.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah, I think he's full of crap myself.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
That's what I think.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
I think it's just something he's saying that looks
bad.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I's saying that looks bad.
I'm sorry, that looks bad.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
If he came out and we find out, oh, he's getting
married and the story comes outthat he's asking his mom to help
pay for the wedding because hedoesn't have the assets or you
know, cash assets to do it.
Okay, that's fine, because youreinvest all his money, got it,
to do it.
Okay, that's fine, because youreinvest all his money, got it.
But then if you start the storyoff where he paid $500,000 for
(41:46):
a night to this and then nowhe's asking mom, I'm like that
doesn't make sense.
The story doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Maybe it's fake news.
Fake news, all right, I'm goingto eat.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I am too, I am starving.
All right, I'm going to eat.
I am too, I am starving.
We got barbecue.
I'm ready for it.
I'm going to eat me threebarbecue sandwiches and some
baked beans and some pickles andsome pickles.
What's that little full moon?
What's that little sauce ChowChow.
Chow Chow, spicy Chow Chow,kind of stuff.
Is it Chow Chow?
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Let's go.
We need to get a whole bucketof that and bring home.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I think I could put that chow chow, they sell it.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
I could put it on everything I think We've had it
before.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
What about a taco you ?
