SOME BIG-TICKET ITEMS. - A LOT OF BUYERS,
MIGHT BE ROUGH TODAY. - RIGHT. - I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN
THERE'S A CROWDED AUCTION. I DON'T LIKE CROWDS
AT ALL. - BUBBA DON'T DO WELL
IN TIGHT SPACES. - [sighs, shudders] - I LIVE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET
FROM HERE, SO IF I BUY A UNIT, I CAN COME BACK LATER
WITH MY TRUCK. - ARE YOU SERIOUS? NO, HE DID NOT RIDE
HIS BIKE UP HERE. - I HAVE HOME COURT
ADVANTAGE TODAY, BECAUSE I KNOW THE TYPE
OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE. MOST OF THEM
HAVE GOOD TASTE. THERE COULD BE A LOT
OF HIDDEN GEMS IN THERE. GOOD MORNING.

ARE YOU READY TO GO? all: YEAH! - LET'S GO! - WHOA.
- WOW. - NOT ONLY IS IT HOT
AS HELL IN HERE, BUT THERE'S TONS OF PEOPLE
SQUEEZING IN HERE, RUBBING ON ME. - DON'T GET ALL SHOOK UP,
BUBBA. WE'RE INSIDE. LOTS OF FOLKS,
LOTS OF FOLKS. HE DOESN'T DO AIRPLANES,
HE DOESN'T DO ELEVATORS, AND HE DON'T TAKE KINDLY
TO LONG, NARROW HALLWAYS LIKE THIS ONE. - HOLY--
I'M NOT GOING BACK THERE. - OKAY.
LET ME STAY CLOSE. I'M NERVOUS HE'S NOT
GONNA LAST LONG ENOUGH FOR US TO BUY ANYTHING. - TOO MANY PEOPLE. - OH, I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING IN HERE. I'M DONE
WITH CLOTHES. ANYBODY WHO SPENDS MORE THAN
$10 ON THIS IS AN IDIOT. - THIS MIGHT BE
RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY. I'VE GOT MY PARTNER
JOANNE WITH ME TODAY. IT'S ALWAYS HELPFUL TO HAVE
AN EXTRA SET OF EYES. - I LIKE THOSE TABLES. - THOSE PIECES ARE BROKEN. I SEE A BROKEN FOOT
OFF A TABLE, BUT IT'S
SUPER DECORATIVE. WHOEVER OWNED THIS UNIT
HAD REALLY ELEGANT TASTE. - WHAT DO Y'ALL WANNA GIVE HERE?
I HAVE 50. NOW 75.
WANNA GIVE 75? [auctioneering] IN THE BACK.

WANNA GIVE 110, 110? 110?
WANNA GIVE 110? ANYBODY, 110? VICTOR, $100.
VICTOR, $100. - [chuckles] - COME ON UP AND CLAIM
YOUR LOCKER, VICTOR. - YOU KNOW, I'M AN OLD
BAG OF BONES. I CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. SO I WENT TO ANOTHER AUCTION. AN AIR-CONDITIONED AUCTION. SCORED A LOCKER FOR 500 BUCKS. AHH, LET THERE BE LIGHT. REASON I BOUGHT THIS,
IS BECAUSE ALL THESE BOXES ARE NUMBERED. NEATLY PACKED,
I LIKE THAT. LET'S GET STARTED. POCKETBOOKS. REALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY--
ANY VALUE FOR ME. LOOK AT THAT. UNICORN. THIS IS WEIRD. THE PACKED IT, EVEN THOUGH
THAT WAS ALREADY BROKEN, AND GLUED BACK TOGETHER. THEY WERE PRETTY ANAL. I USUALLY LIKE ANAL, BUT THIS ISN'T TURNING OUT
WHAT I EXPECTED. MORE CRAP. NOTHING, NOTHING. "WELCOME." AND THERE'S A PUSSYCAT. NO VALUE.
NO VALUE. MY TEMPERATURE'S COOLED OFF, BUT SO HAVE MY HOPES
FOR THIS LOCKER. OH, WELL, WE HAVE A COUPLE
OF PLACE MATS. HERE'S A POLE. NO DIRECTIONS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. OH, NOW IT MAKES SENSE. IT'S A GREAT LOOKING FAN. THESE GO LIKE THIS. AND IT TURNS AROUND. IT'S HOT AS HECK. PEOPLE ARE BUYING FANS NOW. ALL RIGHT,
THIS IS A LITTLE BETTER. HERE'S ANOTHER FAN. EVERYTHING IS HERE
FOR A COOL DAY. SHOW ME THE MONEY. LET'S SEE. ANOTHER FAN. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FAN. CHROME MOTOR. THIS IS REALLY NICE. I THINK I CAN GET
MY MONEY BACK. I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET
THESE THREE FANS CHECKED OUT. FANTASTIC! - OH! - NICE LITTLE
FURNITURE LOCKER HERE. - THE BED LOOKS
PRETTY DONE. ALL THE FINISH IS WORN OFF
FROM IT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THIS UNIT IS FILLED
WITH A LOT OF FURNITURE. NOT REALLY WHAT
I'M LOOKING FOR. - A FULL-SIZE BED. TABLE.
COFFEE TABLE. IT'S DECENT. I DON'T SEE ANY BIG-TICKET ITEMS
IN THERE, BUT ALL THINGS
I CAN DEFINITELY SELL. I-I'M THINKING I'M NOT
GONNA GO ANYTHING OVER $450
FOR THIS ONE. - ONE, TWO, FOUR CHAIRS. - SIX CHAIRS. THAT BOX RIGHT THERE IS
FOR A COWBOY HAT. IN GOOD CONDITION,
IT'LL FETCH US A PRETTY PENNY. - LET'S GET OUT OF HERE, DUDE.
THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE IN HERE. - WHAT DID YOU SAY? - I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
I'M JUST BREATHING. - ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY'S OUT.
EVERYBODY GOT A LOOK? - WALT'S SWEATING
LIKE A HOOKER IN CHURCH. - OKAY,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. WE'RE SELLING THE ONE
WE JUST LOOKED AT INSIDE. IT WAS REALLY HOT IN THERE,
I KNOW. Y'ALL READY?
HERE WE GO. 100, WE'LL DO 100.
NOW 100 OVER HERE! 200?
- 200. - 300?

ANYBODY GOT 400? 400, NOW 500?
[auctioneering] 500?
- 450. - 450.
NOW 500? [auctioneering] SELL AT $450. THAT'S YOU, RICK.
$450. - THAT WENT ABOUT 600 CHEAPER
THAN I THOUGHT. - I CAN TELL BUBBA NEEDS
A BREAK FROM THE CROWD, SO WE'RE GONNA GO INSIDE
AND CHECK OUT OUR UNIT. - LET'S GET THIS DONE
AND GET OUT OF THE HEAT. - MY LORD, I THOUGHT THIS
WAS CLIMATE-CONTROLLED. WHAT DO YOU
GOT THERE? - SOME TOOLS,
SOME DVDs. - YOU KNOW WHY
I REALLY BOUGHT THIS? - WHY?
- THE NEXT BOX. - FOR A HAT? - THAT LOOKS PRETTY
DANG GOOD. - YOU KNOW WHY
I REALLY BOUGHT THIS? - WHY?
- THE NEXT BOX. - FOR A HAT?
- HMM. - YEAH, BRAND-NEW HAT. - LET ME SEE.
- IT'S A BRAND-NEW ONE. - BRAND-NEW HAT. THAT HAT IS ABOUT
A $200 HAT. - NICE! - IF WE FOUND
A QUALITY HAT LIKE THAT, THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME OTHER
GREAT STUFF IN THIS UNIT. - ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX CHAIRS. PEDESTAL, DINETTE.
THAT'S 300 BUCKS. - LET'S LOOK IN THIS BAG
OF LINENS. THAT STUFF ALWAYS SELLS GOOD,
DOESN'T IT? - THAT'S A PRETTY NICE CENT.
- YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S--YOU KNOW,
THERE'S 50 BUCKS. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S THAT?
- I DON'T KNOW. OOH.
- IT'S OLD-LOOKING. WE COULD HAVE
SOMETHING THERE. - WHAT DO THOSE SAY? - PARIS.
- THESE ARE FOR THE THEATRE? - THESE ARE
FOR THE THEATRE. CAN YOU SEE MY EYES,
BUBBA? I CAN SEE
INTO THE FUTURE. THERE'S SOME MORE STUFF HERE,
A BELT--OH, WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT THE HECK
IS THAT? - [chuckles]
PUT THOSE ON. WHAT?
- HOT DANG. YOU'RE A LITTLE CLOSE,
BUB. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THESE
ORNATE THINGS LOOKED AT, BUT I THINK WE'VE REALLY FOUND
SOME GREAT STUFF. - ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET OUT
OF THIS LITTLE ROOM. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S
ABOUT TO SQUEEZE ME TO DEATH. - YOU'RE WALKING A LITTLE FAST
FOR A SHORT-LEGGED FELLA. - F-18 IN THE BACK IS WHERE
WE'RE HEADING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. YOU KNOW THAT PHRASE,
"NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU SWEAT"? WELL, THAT PERSON OBVIOUSLY
WASN'T FROM TEXAS. - WHOA.
[cheering] - GOT A COUPLE DRESSERS
IN HERE. GOT A WASHER--I MEAN A DRYER. - YEAH.
- MAYBE A WASHER. I'M LIKING THIS ONE.
I NEED A WASHER AND DRYER. - MAN, A WASHER AND A DRYER?
IT'S HOT OUT HERE. I DON'T WANNA BE CARRYING
ALL THAT. SHE BETTER BE NICE
TO ME. - [sighs]
ALL THE DRAWERS. I DON'T LIKE WHEN THEY TAKE THE
DRAWERS OUT OF THE FURNITURE. THEY WIND UP--
THEY LOSE THEM. I'M NOT REALLY INTERESTED
IN THIS UNIT, BUT I COULD SEE LESA
DROOLING OVER THIS. I MIGHT GIVE HER A LITTLE RUN
FOR HER MONEY. - THERE PROBABLY IS A WASHER
AND DRYER IN THERE. THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY THING
WORTH ANYTHING IN THERE. - ALL RIGHT,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S SELL
THIS LOCKER HERE. HOW ABOUT 100?
WE'LL START THERE. I GOT 100. NOW 200?
WANT TO GIVE 200? NOW 200. NOW 300.
NOW 400? - YEAH. - 500? - NO. - NOW 500, WANNA GIVE 500?
NOW 500? I SOLD IT!
LESA, $400. LESA, $400. - YOU GO, LESA! - GIVE HER A BIG HAND.
SHE'S BEEN WANTING ONE ALL DAY. - LESA PAID WAY TOO MUCH
FOR THAT UNIT. - HERE.
OH, [bleep]. MAN, I DON'T SEE WHAT I THOUGHT
I WAS GONNA SEE. THEN I WANTED A WASHER
TO GO WITH THIS DRYER. I DIDN'T GET IT. I REALLY THOUGHT THAT WASHER
WAS GONNA BE HIDING IN THE BACK. DRYER, I'M GONNA GO 150
ON THAT ONE. - I KNOW LESA'S
IN A BAD MOOD, BUT I THINK I JUST SPOTTED
SOMETHING, GONNA CHEER HER UP. YOU SAID THIS WAS THE UNIT
THAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GOT? I'LL SHOW YOU
ONE THING IN HERE. - AM I GONNA LIKE IT?
- YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT. - REALLY?
- YEAH. - HOLY-- BIG-SCREEN TV, BABY! $300. - YOU STILL COMPLAINING? - LOOK AT ME.
- YOU HAPPY? - I'M HAPPY!
- HAPPY FACE? - IT'S A HAPPY FACE!
- HAPPY FACE? OKAY.
ABOUT TIME SHE SMILED. BUT WHO'S SHE KIDDING?
IT AIN'T GONNA LAST LONG. - CAREFUL!
- SEE? - OH! THERE'S
ANOTHER TV UP HERE! JERRY!
- I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU. QUIT HOLLERING. - I THINK THIS IS ABOUT
100 BUCKS. WE'RE IN TV HEAVEN NOW.
OH, YEAH. DRESSER.
ABOUT 250 HERE. WASN'T FOR NOTHING. LET'S GET THIS LOADED
AND TAKE IT TO THE SHOP. I'M HAPPY. I AM VERY HAPPY TODAY. - I'M AT LIGHTS FANTASTIC, TO GET MY THREE FANS
CHECKED OUT. HI, KENNY. I THINK THEY'RE WORTH
ABOUT 500 BUCKS. BUT AS A DOCTOR, I KNOW A SECOND OPINION
NEVER HURTS. TELL ME ABOUT THIS ONE. - IT'S CALLED
THE BREWMASTER. TYPICALLY YOU SAW THESE
HANGING UP IN BARS. AND THIS FAN
IS BELT-DRIVEN, SO THERE IS NO MOTOR
ON THIS FAN. - THAT GIVES IT THE AMBIANCE
OF A BINARY FAN. - IT DOES, VERY QUIET. THIS FAN IS OPERATED
WITH THIS BELT. - I THOUGHT THIS WAS
A BELT FOR ME. - YOU CAN WEAR THIS
IF YOU WANTED TO. - [laughs] HANG ME UP BY THE FAN. - SO THE BELT IS ACTUALLY
GONNA BE WRAPPED AROUND THE FAN HERE. AND THIS IS WHAT
TURNS THE FAN. - TURNS THE FAN. TELL ME ABOUT THIS FAN. - THIS FAN IS CALLED
THEIR PALISADE FAN. THIS ACTUALLY HAS
A VERY NICE WEAVE PATTERN... - UH-HUH.
- ON THIS BLADE SET. AND THE BLADES
ARE SHAPED THIS WAY TO GIVE YOU
THE MAXIMUM AIRFLOW. - COOL. I KNOW THESE FANS LOOK GREAT, BUT I WANT TO SEE
THESE PUPPIES IN ACTION. SO KEN'S GONNA
POWER THEM UP FOR ME. NOW TELL ME ABOUT THIS ONE. THIS IS CALLED
THE AIR SHADOW. WHAT'S VERY UNIQUE
ABOUT THIS FAN IS, WITH IT ON LOW, MEDIUM,
OR HIGH, THE BLADES OPEN UP. - WHOA. THAT IS A SWEET MOVING FAN. NOW, BOTTOM LINE,
WHAT'S MY VALUE HERE? - I WOULD SAY YOU'RE LOOKING
AT ABOUT... $700 FOR THIS FAN. - YES! 'CAUSE I WAS ONLY
THINKING $200. - NO, YOU DID GOOD
WITH THIS FAN. - LET'S TRY
THIS DOUBLE-HEADER. - OKAY, THE PALISADES.
- THE PALISADES. WHAT KIND OF VALUE
DO I HAVE HERE? - I WOULD SAY YOU'RE
LOOKING AT $1,500, MOE. - THAT'S GREAT. I JUST THOUGHT
THEY WERE PLACE MATS. - SOME EXPENSIVE PLACE MATS. - LET'S GO TO THE NEXT FAN,
WHILE I'M ROLLING. LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS ONE. - YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER,
ON THIS FAN, IT SHOULD BE MOUNTED
UP IN YOUR CEILING AREA, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT
OF FANS IN MY CEILING AREA, I CANNOT HANG IT UP THERE.
- OKAY. WHAT WOULD THIS UNIT
SELL FOR? - ON THIS PARTICULAR FAN,
EACH UNIT IS SEPARATE. IT'S PRICED SEPARATELY, OKAY?
- SEPARATE, OKAY. - SO YOU CAN HAVE ONE MOTOR,
YOU CAN HAVE TWO MOTORS. YOU CAN HAVE ONE BLADE, YOU HAVE UP TO FOUR BLADES. BUT WITH THAT YOU HAVE HERE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT... - WHAT WOULD THIS UNIT
SELL FOR? - WITH WHAT YOU HAVE HERE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT... $1,700 FOR THIS FAN. - REALLY? - THREE FANS, $3,900. - JUST FAR BEYOND
MY EXPECTATIONS. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. NOT ONLY DID
I STAY OUT OF THE HEAT, BUT I MADE A COOL 3,400 BUCKS. NO SWEAT. - 18. OOH! AH, SOMEBODY'S ELEPHANT
COLLECTION. MY MOM HAS THAT SAME ONE.
- I KNOW, I KNOW! - OH, BOY. THE ELEPHANTS ARE CUTE
AND ALL, BUT I DIDN'T BUY THIS ROOM
FOR KNICKKNACKS. WELL, AT LEAST SOME OF THESE
CLOTHES LOOK HIGH-END FOR THE STORE,
YOU KNOW? CLOTHING IS A BIG SELLER
IN MY STORE, AND LUCKY FOR ME,
THESE ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. ALL RIGHT...WELL, WE GOT
ABOUT 300 IN CLOTHING. - UH-HUH.
- WE SPENT $100 FOR THE UNIT. UH, THE ELEPHANT COLLECTION
I LIKE. EVEN AT 5 BUCKS A PIECE,
WE GOT $100 COVERED THERE. EVEN THOUGH
I BASICALLY QUADRUPLED MY INITIAL INVESTMENT, I'M STILL
NOT SATISFIED. THERE'S A TABLE OVER HERE,
BUT I SEE THAT-- OH, THAT LEG-- THAT LEG IS THE BROKEN LEG
OFF FROM THIS TABLE. SO THIS IS
PRETTY MUCH TOAST. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHOA, WAIT A SECOND. LOOK AT THAT.
- OOH, THAT'S NICE. - THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. IT'S A PROPELLER
FOR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REAL
OR NOT, BUT IF IT'S REAL... THE REAL ONES ARE, LIKE--
OLD ONES ARE, LIKE, 500 BUCKS. I KNOW JUST THE PLACE
TO BRING IT. THE HISTORIC AVIATION MUSEUM
IS JUST A FEW MILES FROM HERE. I DRIVE BY IT
EVERY DAY. I BET THEY COULD TELL ME
WHAT I GOT HERE. PROPS TO YOU. YOU GOTTA HOLD THAT
ON THE BACK OF THE BIKE. - I KNOW. - HELLO THERE.
- HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING? - WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM.
I'M NORM. - HI, NORM, I'M VICTOR.
THIS IS JOANNE. - HI, JOANNE.
HOW ARE YOU? - HOW YOU DOING?
- PLEASED TO MEET YOU. WELL, WE WERE GOING
TO A STORAGE LOCKER, AND I CAME ACROSS
THIS PROPELLER. AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
"NO BETTER PLACE TO BRING IT
THAN TO HIM." - WELL, I'LL BE GLAD
TO LOOK AT IT, THANK YOU. - THIS GUY'S REALLY ANALYZING
THIS PROPELLER. THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. - IT'S MADE OUT OF
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF WOOD. YOU CAN SEE THAT
THIS TYPE OF PROPELLER IS MUCH HEARTIER
THAN THE WOOD THAT THIS ONE
IS MADE OUT OF. - I KNOW IT LOOKS
A LOT BIGGER THAN MINE, BUT, UH, IT'S DEFINITELY
INTERESTING. HOW MUCH IS THAT ONE WORTH? - IT'S VERY UNIQUE,
AS A MATTER OF FACT. AND SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE
PRICED IN THE THOUSANDS. - THOUSANDS?
- YES. BECAUSE THEY
ARE SO UNUSUAL, YOU JUST DON'T FIND
MANY LIKE THAT. - SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THERE'S
A CHANCE THAT MY PROPELLER IS WORTH SOME MONEY? - IT'S WORTH SOME MONEY. I'M AFRAID
IT'S JUST A REPRODUCTION. - OKAY.
OKAY. NORM, WHAT DO YOU
THINK IT'S WORTH THEN? - I WOULD THINK
IT WOULD BE WORTH $5. - OH, GOD.
COME ON! WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE I'LL THINK ABOUT LEAVING
IT WITH THE MUSEUM. - BUT OF COURSE, IN MUSEUMS,
YOU KNOW, WE TAKE OLD STUFF, AND THIS IS
NOT EVEN OLD. - I CAN'T EVEN GIVE
THIS PROPELLER AWAY? THAT'S SAD. THANK YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. IT WAS A PLEASURE COMING IN,
PLEASURE MEETING YOU. - IT WAS MY PLEASURE. - AND IF I FIND ANYTHING ELSE,
I'LL BE BACK. - VERY GOOD.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT. - UNFORTUNATELY, MY HOME COURT
ADVANTAGE DIDN'T WORK OUT TODAY. THESE PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY
HAD TASTE, JUST NO MONEY. - WE FOUND TWO PAIR
OF UNUSUAL GLASSES IN OUR UNIT. SO NOW WE'RE
AT MILTON KENT'S ANTIQUES TO FIND OUT
WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT
THEY MIGHT BE WORTH. - LET ME SEE
WHAT YOU GOT THERE. - NOT REAL SURE
HOW OLD THEY ARE OR WHAT THEY'RE
USED FOR, BUT-- - A PAIR OF
TELEKULAR GLASSES. - THESE, WE'RE THINKING ARE--
- FOR RUNNING HORSES. - TAKE IT TO THE TRACK
AND FOLLOW YOUR HORSE. - FOR THE RACETRACK? - HOW OLD DO YOU THINK
THEY MIGHT BE? - I WOULD THINK THAT
THEY'RE FROM THE '40s. WE WANT TO CHECK AND BE SURE
THEY WORK. THEY DO. - YOUR EYES ARE HUGE.
- AND YOU'RE HUGE. [laughter] LOOKING THROUGH
THESE GLASSES, NOT-- - OKAY, OKAY,
OKAY. YEAH, HE'S USUALLY PRETTY
THIN-LOOKING WHEN YOU SEE HIM. - WHAT DO YOU THINK
THOSE ARE WORTH? - WELL, THEY'RE PLASTIC.
THE OPTICS ARE GOOD. BUT, UH, I WOULD PROBABLY
VALUE THESE AT... $40. - YOU HAVE ANOTHER PAIR?
- WE DO. - HOPEFULLY SOMETHING
A LITTLE BETTER THAN THESE. - PAIR OF FRENCH OPERA
GLASSES. - OPERA. - THEY'RE BY LEMAIRE
OF PARIS. ONE OF THE BEST FRENCH
MANUFACTURERS OF OPERA GLASSES. AND THEY WOULD DATE TO THE LATE
19th, EARLY 20th CENTURY. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR
INVENTING THE ADJUSTABLE OPTICS. AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES
THIS BRAND VERY COLLECTIBLE. THEY'RE IN VERY GOOD
CONDITION. THERE ARE
A FEW MINOR FLAWS. YOU HAVE A SLIGHT CHIP THERE...
- RIGHT. - AND A LITTLE BIT OF A CHIP
ON THE MOTHER OF PEARL. BUT FOR A PAIR OF GLASSES
THAT ARE 112 YEARS OLD, THAT'S NOT BAD. - IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION,
WHAT DO YOU THINK A PAIR OF THOSE
COULD POSSIBLY BE WORTH? - CONSIDERING THE CONDITION, I WOULD THINK
THEY'RE WORTH ABOUT... $475. - THAT'S GOOD. - THAT'LL PASS--
THAT'LL BRING US RIGHT ON UP. - THAT'S REAL GOOD.
- YEAH. - YEAH,
WE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE. BUT WE KNEW
THEY WERE OLD. I APPRECIATE IT.
- THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
- THANKS A LOT. - YOU KNOW,
I'M REALLY PROUD OF BUBBA. HE STUCK IT OUT
WITH THE BIG CROWDS, HE GOT THROUGH IT
FOR US, AND WE REALLY DID GET
ONE HELL OF A QUALITY ITEM OUT OF THE UNIT. - WE'RE GONNA GO
TO THE THEATRE NOW. - OH, YEAH.
YOU LOOK CUTE, BUBBA. - WHAT?
- YEAH. YOU ALWAYS LOOK CUTE
WHEN YOU DO THAT, HOLD YOUR PINKY UP. narrator: THE TYLER, TEXAS,
TITAN WAS MOE PRIGOFF, WHO BLEW AWAY THE COMPETITION, MAKING 3,400 BUCKS WITH
HIS THREE FANTASTIC FANS. RICKY AND BUBBA FOCUSED IN
ON A $685 PROFIT. LESA LEWIS MADE $400. AND VICTOR RJESNJANSKY
LEFT WITH $300 IN HIS POCKET, AND THE WIND IN HIS HAIR. - THIS THE RIGHT PLACE? - I ACTUALLY GOT BUBBA TO GO
WITH ME TO THE OPERA, SO WE CAN TEST OUT
THESE OPERA GLASSES. HOLD ON A MINUTE. - WHAT?
YOU BROUGHT A TIE? - YEAH, I BROUGHT A TIE. - OH, LORD. - WHAT DO I NEED?
AM I GOOD? - THERE YOU GO.
YOU'RE GOOD. - ALL RIGHT.
HERE WE GO.
