[Assistant] And you're brilliant at your job and that's sort of, that's how, that's how sport can make a difference in people's lives because these characters have to transcend the sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he really likes nonsense and loves animals and likes sort of wacky ideas. So I think he would go for those sorts of ideas. Alex Albon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well I'm co-chair of Overlimit Sports with Felix White that I do tail-enders with, so I'm going to pick two chairs, if that's okay. Very good. And I'm, I'm going to pick Toto and Gunter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good. You need a little bit of sweet with your salt, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need, you need a, a, a fun time guy. Good cop, bad cop, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greg Athlon. Well, the Greg Athlon, for those who don't know, was a sport relief challenge that I did, uh, a few years ago, which was, I cycled between the three peaks and, and climbed them. Uh, so you need someone who's gonna be really good on a bike enduro. Oh, oh, Valtteri Bottas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, very good. Without, without question. He is someone I really, really want to get on the podcast. I love him. He is absolute chaos, I think. He just does, you know, in his, his, I'm sure you're well aware, but his summer break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He went off and raced. He did like a gravel race on his bike. He's mad. I love him. So him, he would keep up and he dressed as Duffman from the Simpsons. And I really want to hang out with him. I think he is amazing. So Valtteri.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brilliant. Yes. That's his true, his true self though. Like he, he zoomed past us in the paddock on a little electric scooter and it was the most Valtteri Bottas thing ever. I was like, of course he's doing that. Of course he's weaving in and out of all the camera guys and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you so much, and thank you to you, and, uh, it's been a real pleasure, and I, I really, as a Sky subscriber, I love paying for the Formula One coverage. I, I really do, I think it's, I think it's fantastic, so, keep going everyone, you're doing great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, red bull, red flag, and my middle, little mate, red, oh, red earth. Red earth, red the kangaroo. Thank you so much. And his little jelly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slightly confused, Chaos's app, slightly confused that they did classify some of them. So you're right, 8 didn't finish. True. But then, uhm, I went through the timing and I saw...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wasn't aware of this being a storyline. In fact, I'm looking to see whether I had any of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of post, and I try to when I'm doing post race sort of see, you know, what the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the zeitgeist is, what's the feeling around the place, what's going to be the kind of the Monday line or the Tuesday line as we are here. And I didn't really expect it to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standing starts, there should have been rolling starts or, or. I think both of those questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are we restarting this? And then Crofty said, well, you don't know what's going to happen. And I basically got shouted down by Chris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gravel, or rather Alban incident, not red flag for gravel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is not because they didn't think, not because they thought there was going to be a red flag, was because it was too early in the stint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which is why only Science and Russell actually did it. But I can understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both from the Alpine carnage and the Magnuson tire wheel rim. It was wheel rim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That can be dangerous. Metal. Carbon fibre, bit of gravel, you know, you could argue maybe in the past we haven't needed red flags for that, but lots of metal on the track I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I mean, when you think about that, now we've actually done that. I mean, we are entertainment. And sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hang on, I think this is Lando Norris who finished a very, very creditable P6 and didn't seem, was he gonna be higher up with any kind of this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure whether that's been communicated particularly effectively to the fans. Is there ever, do we all know? I mean, there was some sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe that's the confusion. We don't all know. Oh, it's around flag. Right. What that means is that it will definitely be a start on the grid again after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not being a piece of improvement of the show. It's being, uhm, open to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sporting managers from teams to lobby and then open the FIA up to protests, which I think is still going on as we're recording. Haas have appealed, I believe, the turning down of their protest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That had the two Aston Martins out and Nico Hülkenberg in P4. There was timing information. I mean, I had it. I've got it on my phone. It was on the app. So they passed some beams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why are we not relying on that? Why are we relying on the grid before with the Astons still in the race? So it's good, you know, it's good. The teams are questioning that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first, so the first thing the crowd knew about it, because I had one of the big screens that all the crowds saw, was when the FIA graphic came up and said order will be 1, 44, 14. Which is so unclear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a blinder Aston Martin have played. In the last two races, they've managed to get two sporting decisions go their way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you're saying, that's right, what you're saying, maybe science has thought about this, is that never happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're putting the astons back in, like what happened with science never happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Science is thinking, well there's no harm to a Fernando, then there's no foul on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can't, hang on, but they can't take into account the, the, the conclude the, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, leniency. And if you penalize me for that, then you have to penalize Lance Troll for taking out my teammate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it wasn't really Lance's fault, but he's saying it wasn't really my fault. And you have to penalise Pierre Gasly for taking out Esteban Arcon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, he will say that there's a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So reverse the positions and give the guy behind the place back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please do that, then it won't go to the stewards, it'll be resolved, and we can carry on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team then will think, okay, we're probably going to lose less if we do that, than if we wait for the stewards decision, who's going to give us a five second penalty. I remember that. It's like an episode of Deal or No Deal. Yeah, but that's, but that's always happened. It's just that we heard more of it. And it's resolved there and then. It's there and then. And quite clean. Going forward. It doesn't have to go to the stewards. It's the fair result. And so other things with these incidents that we're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And say, okay, I'd like you to look at this and then they'll, they'll, they'll do it. So it's quite a quick decision for color science for them to do. Uhm, although no, they had the, I guess they had the red flag stoppage didn't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was just the two cars there and one was turning in and one went off and they judged


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what I like? I think that, I think Lance missed a trick here, uh, on the final, uh, let's see how many people we can get to benefit from Carlos Sainz's, uh, red, uh, penalty. Wouldn't it have been really sneaky if Lance had dropped back to 4.8 seconds behind Carlos?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm older than you, Whipple. If one or two, one race a year finishes under Safety Car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we didn't know, uhm, whether Red Bull had some sort of issue. They'd lost out on the first start. Quite considerably to George Russell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come through and exorcise the demons of Melbourne. And that's why actually I felt it was such a crucial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To try to, to trip him up and to make the, the, the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want that win. And there were, and he was, alright, between laps 9 and 50, whatever it was, 50, he was going to get that win no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think he has the stat man's list of statistics? Do you think he gets the email? To let people in on a production. We have a stat man who sends an email.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then Christian's always ready with a little stat, isn't he, on the radio afterwards. Maybe he's giving him a line to say in the interviews afterwards. I'm very happy that's Red Bull's first week of 2011.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's fascinating for me is that we, we now have with Max Verstappen with a championship to think about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Challenging Max Verstappen saying, I'm not going to take, you know, no cares given. I'm not, I'm not going to, I'm not, I'm, I'm out there to take all the risks. Yeah. As Hamilton says. Yeah. And putting it on, you know, the championship defender, Max Verstappen. So I've got to think about my championship here, you know, and you've got Lewis Hamilton. It's so weird. It's funny, isn't it? We've got that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hamilton knows he's not going to win the championship this year. Not unless something really weird happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he can go in there, be aggressive with Verstappen, and know that Verstappen is probably going to have to give way, which is exactly what happened 21-20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it clarified? No it was never clarified. The team couldn't find anything wrong with the car after qualifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They changed the brakes in Park Ferme. Okay. If anything else, just to rule that out. So the brake material.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Calipers, and the, I don't think it changed calipers, but the pads and the discs. Because we get a list of everything that's changed in park farming. So they did change Shaco's brakes and some other little things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phenomenal. He'll win another race or two, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, Max Verstappen is just on a level. Saudi, get about Saudi. This is me. Even with the koala not a bear trap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but they had some, they had some nice upgrades this race. They had a new front wing, new front wing end plates, new...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rear, uhm, brake ducts as well, but no, you're right Matthew, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any point, he made the good points. Look, Saudi was compromised because of the front wing and front wing debris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to back up what you're saying, Tomei, all the teams have points now. Uh, good points for Hulkenberg, even though Kevin Magnussen already support good points for Haas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so happy as you say to see Yuuki get points as well because, you know, he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. That's the next race. Of course. I tell you who will be happy about this weird sort of early term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half term, four weeks. Spring break. Spring break. Yeah. Yeah, spring break. Good. Spring break. And that's Alpine. Was some thought that both those cars were write-offs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The significant damage to the chassis. It was very expensive to have two cars. And if we had a back to back race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our team would have been really up against it, really. I mean we never got close enough to have a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and one of those would have been the test car as well. And they would have been busy at this point building up chassis number four, or three depending on how you number them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, so now, the Alpine will have to get that new chassis in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. And then probably repair. Hope that either Gasly's or Ocon's isn't damaged beyond a sort of good chassis. How long does it take to build that? To build a chassis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they'll need the four weeks, definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could they have won the race? Well if Verstappen had dropped out, they could have won the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also because they have this problem with the rear of the car, with rear grip, and Hamilton says he's not happy with the rear of the car, the characteristics of Melbourne penalise that much less than Bahrain or Saudi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lewis looks at that and says that car has got so much downforce. But we just don't. The Mercedes doesn't. But it was penalized less at Melbourne than it will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? I'm not sure because I did ask, remember we did development corner at the beginning in testing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Needs to be, that will come out in the fullness of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And George doesn't feel this handling imbalance that Lewis does, or says that it doesn't affect him as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is why we really, really want to see Mercedes challenging for the championship with Red Bull. Because then we can get into championship challenging George Russell against championship challenging Lewis Hamilton. And when they've actually got something to go for, because, you know, I've


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you know, red flag went against him, but he would have scored multiple points, wouldn't he? Lance is on level points with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That for me, Red and his little Joey, is like, Red Rue, yeaah, is like, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. So I'll tell you about it probably at Silverstone when I think the piece is going out. So to answer your question, Tomo, yes. Oh, we're giving him all the telly secrets today, aren't we, eh? Cash him in. Yeah, cash him in. Lovely studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was Genesis songs. Uhm, and, uh, we had the trams in Melbourne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I must have started that about 50 times, waiting for the perfect, in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're very much wanting the background noise. So that's, uh, every Thursday of a race weekend, uh, where we give you some of the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little tip bits, little golden nuggets from the paddock on a Thursday and just set your weekend up ready because something you realize when you're not at a race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that the Thursday and the Friday, people are still, you know, still got jobs to do, still got work to go to. Absolutely. And for a lot of people, it begins on a, on a Saturday with FP3. But we've already had Thursday press conferences and the driver interviews and anything else that's around the place. And then you have Friday. So that's just to give you a little taster on a Thursday and a Friday. The pop book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ho ho! That's the what? That's what we came here for. That's what we came here for. That is not what we came here for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey what's going on everybody for First Beat Feast, I'm Sean Evans and you're watching Hot Ones. It's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings. And today I'm joined by Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can only imagine that you just want to go home and take a nap. What's going through your head now that you pulled up a seat at this circus?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's so much about the games that we don't get to see, so if you'll humor me, I'm curious about your experience off the ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get a long leash here on Hot Ones. Okay. Which country do you think got the best fit off during the opening ceremonies?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody in their first Olympics with a spotlight on you, what's the pressure to perform like? Does it feel that much heavier than the other major events in your career? You know the Olympics?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna talk about the Adam Rippon effect in the media because it was crazy to see in real time from where I sit. I could only imagine what it was like from your perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nine amazing Adam Rippon quotes that'll make you go, yas. Adam Rippon says he's a hot mess. Why Adam Rippon is the woke bae we don't deserve. And Olympic glamazon. Adam Rippon says haters are his motivators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The meme we don't deserve. The meme that makes us say, yas. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So wherever you go, I'll go, Adam. You drive. Alright. I've been driving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, this is hotter than I thought it was originally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sick. So one of the things that separates figure skating from everything else is the soundtrack. How important is the music to the routine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, don't. They take my voice and they hide it from the world, Adam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically you can just score it like you would as a judge. You can let me know if I still got it. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you putting up a front, Adam? Or is this like for real? You're just no problem. It's like warm. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well speaking of, you recently set the record straight on an internet rumor that you had butt pads during competition, tweeting, no, it's just my real butt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about those pesky lower abs? Cause sometimes I can kind of frame it out up top. It's just, it doesn't snap together in the lower abs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the last dab. We call it the last dab because it's tradition around here. To put a little extra on the last wing, I just went berserk on that. Try to make a smaller dab than that, should you dare to do it. Very deliberate. Oop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what's going on Hot Ones fans? It's Sean Evans checking in. If you enjoyed the video, do us a solid. Please subscribe. We're not above begging for clout over here, so you know what to do. Smash that subscribe button with a sledgehammer. Who appreciates ya? Me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How's it going man? It's going great, how are you? We have ten questions to ask you. We have ten wings for you to eat. And what we do is we start off easy. Then we creep our way up the Scoville scale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get 30 seconds of uninterrupted time to plug whatever you want. If you can't handle the heat, there's a safe word. You say, rod back and it's over. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna take 15 seconds of your 30 second plug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't want that to happen because I'm gonna wild out. That sound good? Yea. Alright, Mr. Rizzo, are you ready for your hot ones? Let's do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing, right? No, that's something. You're in trouble, man. I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During spring training, Will Ferrell, he took over your position at first base, coached some third for the Cubs, and I have to think that you, or someone on the roster, has to have a Will Ferrell story for sharing the diamond with him that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, number two, we got the Tabasco green sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the most savage, ruthless thing a St. Louis Cardinals fan has ever yelled at you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of approach real pepper territory, okay? Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitively, which side is more lit? Rowdier, more intense. The left field bleachers are the right field bleachers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to that Taco Bell on Addison, or do you take your chances with that McDonald's on Clark?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one has a fruity flavor, but no joke, like, it'll kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this, I know you're Italian through and through, but I think that you spent enough time in Chicago to have tried Gino's East, to have tried Lou Melnati's. Deep Dish Pizza, is it really pizza? Ah, it is pizza, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ready to go to 6? Straight out the bayou. Something that you put on crawfish. It's a habanero, jalapeno sort of mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm feeling alive. This one has pain right in the title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna know, how does your spring training look stack up to Justin Timberlake, M&M, Justin Bieber, and Guy Fieri?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to psych you out or anything, but the Mad Dog 357 is 71.4 times a jalapeno. That one that you said smelled smoky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going with something that's six times hotter than a jalapeno. They actually call this one Blair's Original Death Sauce. Sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who gets the bubblegum bubble on top of their cap most often? In the day I'd probably say myself. You catch it the most? It's odd to me, cause you're like, what, like 240?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dave's insanity hot sauce, 36 times a jalapeno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baseball players, the notoriously superstitious, hitters especially, story that sticks out to me to keep at Cubs, Moises Alou peeing on his hands, toughen him up, and I'm wondering, do you have any bizarre, strange rituals when it comes to your game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the first person to make it to number 10. Seriously? Yeah. How many times you've done this? Uh, just one other time, but you- you bodied-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right there, bro. This is the Mad Dog 357 hot sauce, pure chili abstract, and uh, fresh habanero, 71.4 times hotter than a jalapeno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I do want to start my plug by shouting out Anthony Rizzo, but... Oh gosh, I would like to say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's funny because if you actually read it, it's, you say it how it's spelled. Exactly. So if you're not at sound stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely not gonna give any examples, but he would just pull like, just some type of pranks that you wouldn't think Eli would pull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because all I've seen Victor do is salsa, he would be the last of the group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had sex before I played and I didn't have sex before I played and I don't think it altered my performance in any way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My wife loves, loves homosexuals, so that's even how I know the word. And uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] than you do, uhm, in any, in any stadium. Because you act, like you read it word for word and you just keep re-reading it over and over again, whether at, uhm, compared to a stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since it is legal in some states, like I think in Washington and in California, I would say


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you should be able to do it since it's legal in your state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about this wing? You ready to go on this wing? My lips are so big. Whatever makes it hot is like, so my lips are just on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On fire right now, so I think that might be the advantage I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say he's uh, he's fun to be around. I would, if I were to golf, I would bring him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if he said that, but Carl always says uhm, just because you go to Krispy Kreme doesn't make you a donut. You go to church with Beaver?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, we were both mutual friends with the pastor Carl, met at his house, so played him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I think I just block everything out and just say okay, just be strong and just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Rodgers gets paid by his performance. On the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's doing the best job he can, he can do, for the shield, for the NFL.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what's going on everybody? For First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans and welcome back to another episode of Truth or Dab, the hot one special where we give our guests two simple options. Tell the truth or suffer the wrath of the last dab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The former is an award-winning journalist, TV host, and author. The latter is a three-time Super Bowl champion and pro football hall of famer. Together they lead Skip and Shannon Undisputed, FS1's opinion and debate show moderated by Jenny Taft. Catch it weekdays at 9.30am Eastern on Fox Sports 1. Shannon, Skip, welcome to the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so before we get started, I want to break things down. In front of you, you guys have three scorching hot chicken wings that have all been doused in various versions of The Last Ab. I have a series of deeply personal, potentially awkward questions for each of you, and when I ask you a question, you have a choice. Answer it honestly, or escape the truth by eating a death wing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first up is this, here's the debate question I posed to you guys, and just like the show, you know, just take a side. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are esports a real sport? And if so, would you consider someone like Ninja to be a professional athlete?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting hot in here, but it's just heated debate in round one. No wings off the board as I expected, and on to round two. Skip, this question is for you. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, relationship that you have with Lil Wayne, it's the stuff of legend. From him doing the intro song for Undisputed to the Drip Bayless nickname, and I know that you guys stay in close contact even when he's not a guest on the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just for the week. Happy birthday, Scott. Thank you. Happy birthday. Shannon to you. I know that you guys are in the call it how you see it, double down business, but no one can shoot 100% from the field. Is there a take, an opinion that you'd like to walk back right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. Yeaah, that's what I wanted to see. Getting this party started. Shannon, not good with hot sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's that competitive spirit coming through. That's why you lift all that weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read that you'll sometimes mute the TV when you're watching a football game because you don't want your opinion to be swayed one way or the other based on the color commentary. But I'm curious, who do you mute when the game is over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, moving on to the last round and you know, we've been talking a lot of fire today. And this is the part of the show. It's the end, the end of the road. And we're just gonna pit our guests against each other to see if they'll sell each other out to avoid eating a Deathwing. My guess is they probably will. First up, Shannon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's what has been so exciting for me in this show. You know, sometimes people eat the wings because they want to dodge it. Not you guys. I don't think, I think we could probably be here all night and not finish these wings. But here it is, the last question. Skip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey what's going on Hot Ones fans, this is Sean Evans checking in and do you smell that? Winter. It's in the air. No I'm not talking about- Eggnog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not talking about candy canes. I am talking about the last dab triple X because the pepper X harvest, it's in baby. This is the hottest hot sauce that we've ever made with three kinds of pepper X. I'm talking chocolate X. I'm talking mustard X. I'm talking peach X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Last Dab Triple X. It's available now at Heatness.com. Heatness.com to order the hottest hot sauce that we've ever made. Why, wha, why is he shaking that bottle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, let me show you how this is done. Alright, here we go. It's been a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, oh, oh, oh, I think he might have beat you son, I think he just did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but anyway, I'm not a racing engineer anymore. I'm way past all of that nonsense. No, we come back here quite often. You know, we've got lots of friends here. Uhm, you know, you never kind of, uh, the kids were, my kids were born here. My kids have grown up now, but they come back with us. Uhm, yeaah, it's just a cool place. Lots of good memories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that Fred has approached this has been fairly consistent from the start, uhm, which is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also think that there are positives, you know, we'll get into it, we'll get into the details later on, but I, you know, if you look at where the Ferrari's qualified in the first race,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared to then, you know, what happened on the Sunday afternoon in Bahrain and then, and then what the weekend was like in Saudi Arabia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the car not be good, so, you know, there's, they've got, there's some elements of the car which are obviously not working, uhm, and it doesn't work in every single condition, so it's, it's, it's not what we would describe as a benign car, it's quite peaky, uhm, but they've got something that can work with definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, I don't think that changes whether you're, you know, if you're a top team in Formula One, uhm, your, your hard work and huge amount of effort is, it's no different to, you know, when I was there and we had years like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2004, uh, you know, I can't even remember how many races we won, but we won a lot, uhm, and we led a lot of 1-2s. It's not different to that, to actually the year later, 2005, which was an abject disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in terms of, you know, comparative results to, to 2004.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that ever changes, I think that's just the mindset of Formula 1 teams and the individuals that push those teams forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that you're always working hard, but certainly I think, I think one of the, the, the differences I would, I would suspect is that with a new team principle. So with a new, what is effectively chief executive of your business, which is Fred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, then, you know, he can allow himself to kind of come in and make, you know, reasonably big strategic changes in terms of the technical direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or in terms of the overall direction of the team, because there's not that legacy of, you know, this is everything that I've been setting up for the last two years and now to kind of come in after two races and chop and change and do everything differently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you're kind of then highlighting to the rest of the business that your plan for the last two years hasn't worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Fred has the luxury that he's got time on his side so he can come in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and now, you know, after two races start to make the necessary changes, uhm, or, or changes of, of, of direction at least, I think, in terms of the, the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the technical elements of the car. Uhm, but it will just be business as, as, as usual. You know, they'll, they'll understand they've got problems. You know, like I always say that the first rule of solving a problem is you've got to admit you've got one. Uhm, so as long as they're all, uhm, grown up about it and they're able to just say, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got a problem. Let's be transparent about it. Here are the areas of the car that has a problem. Here's the areas of the operation and the business that also has a problem because it's never one thing. There's no magic bullet. As long as you're all ready to come together as a group of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, transparently identify your problems, uhm, and then put a solution in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You certainly know about it. I mean, you know about it, uhm, milliseconds after it's gone wrong. Uhm, there's absolutely no doubt about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think that, you know, again, and it comes down to the individuals that, that, you know, work in Grand Prix teams and have, have successful careers in, in Grand Prix teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't need to be told when something's gone wrong. You don't need to be told when you're doing a bad job. You know, every individual is, there's no...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There should be nobody harder on each individual in Ferrari, especially at the senior level than that individual themselves. Uhm, but it is true that you have to succeed and fail together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, once you start laying the blame at individuals or individual departments door,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That doesn't happen. Certainly when I was there, uhm, you know, I think the absolute master of that, if I can call one person, that would be Ross, Ross Braun, who was my, you know, who was the leader of the technical department at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Ross just did, you know, for all the duration that we were there together, Ross just did a fantastic job in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to, uhm, protect the organisation, uhm, or at least the technical organisation, that's a better way of putting it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're, you're in the wrong business and you're definitely in the wrong part of the country, uhm, for, to, to work in a Grand Prix team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think every individual will know, but they've just got to be left to get on with it. They've got to have a clear direction from the top, a clear strategy, a clear set of benchmarks and solutions of how they're going to get through it. And then it's just a case of getting on with it and being


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, Charles's caliper, drivers like Max, drivers like Lewis who just want to and expect to win every single weekend is deliver a car that can do that. Uhm, but equally, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, those drivers also have their part to play. So I'm, I'm going to kind of back the team on, in, in this occasion. It's, it's, it's very hard for drivers and then we get, you know, guys of, of my age, you've perhaps been involved in the sport for 25 years. You've been through, you've taken every kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, kick and punch that can come at you and you just, you're used to it. These, these are, you know, a lot of these guys are still in their twenties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they haven't quite yet been through the mill of life, uhm, and therefore understand how to deal with every single situation and perhaps, you know, it's fair to say that, you know, they don't always...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's the job of the driver to, to ride through


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The highs and the lows, because it's easy to all, uhm, you know, talk about how great your culture is, talk about how great the team is, talk about how great the aerodynamicists are, the strategists, everybody else, everybody on the planet when you're winning. That's easy. Uhm, what's hard is when you're not winning, and that's when you see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when we were winning 15 out of the 17 races or whatever, to, to talk well about it and to see how great the culture was and how great we all were and keep, you know, slapping ourselves on the back every five minutes. It's easy. But once you get into those difficult periods, that's when you see,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the true character of the team and the individuals come out. Uhm, and I think the drivers have a key part to playing that because if you, you know, after a year of, of, of difficulties, uhm, you know, after a period of difficulties, you shouldn't be turning on the team and telling them it's all their fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think that's unfair and I think that, so, so, you know, my, my view on this is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team has to supply the drivers and these, you know, the top three, four drivers in Formula One. They have to be supplied with a great car, but you also have to have a level of realism in that as well, that you can't have the best car in every single Grand Prix, every single year. It's just not possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, look at what Mercedes is, is, is, you know, going through this year and last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, at some point somebody hungrier and better will come along and do, do produce a faster car with, with a hungrier driver. Uhm, and you've got to accept that and regroup and think about where you're going to do it, but you've all got to play your part including the driver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got to Ferrari, he was already, uh, uhm, I'm rubbish on Formula One history, so I'm probably going to get this wrong, but I think he was a two times World Champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, good. We're not in. Yeah. I knew that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, you know, with Jordan, wasn't really with Jordan, I knew that was with Benetton. Uhm, but he was a two-time world champion, right? And he had, uhm, kind of, already got his feet under the table of what it meant to win world championships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think what he saw there was he saw a team that once it was operating,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At anywhere near, you know, full efficiency, it was going to be a, a, an unstoppable machine and, and, you know, him and lots of other people around him, uhm, made that happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's difficult to draw comparisons right now because I think that, uhm, Charles and Carlos, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in a way that wasn't creating, you know, what I call a positive conflict, that it wasn't a positive critique to say, look, we've got a problem, let's just be transparent about this problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let's all like head in this direction. Uhm, you know, he had complete trust in the technical team and that trust was born out. So where he did have to ride the troughs, he was there as a motivating factor, you know, uhm, and helping the team and saying, it's all right, I trust in you. I know you would produce a good car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and eventually, you know, we did produce good cars, uhm, and we did produce cars that were worthy of, of, of winning world championships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, to go back to the question, I just don't know with Charles and Carlos. They certainly have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the ability within themselves to be able to do that because they're both first class drivers and first class sportsmen. Uhm, and both team players I think, you know, I don't know them personally very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, that to say hello to. But I would say that both of them, from what I observe and from the people that do know them very well, who I am close to, uhm, I think that both have the ability to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a rule that you should be able to see, uhm, you know, good people who are effective and can just get on with it. And by the way, are allowed and given the tools to be able to get on with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you'll see changes within six months. Uhm, so you're not gonna see anything instantaneously, uhm, because that would just be folly to expect that. But certainly within six months, you can start to see the green shoots of, uhm, you know, the strategy that he's gonna put in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I would say probably the middle of this season, the middle of this season we're going to start to see, uhm, you know, differences, because don't forget, you know, if you think about it in reality, your first month is just doing interviews and talking to the media, uhm, running around trying to learn 5% of the people's names that you meet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then after that you can start to get a feel for the place. You can start to, uhm, understand how the place works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you can start to make changes after say three months, but, but the, the, the green sheets of those changes, you're not going to see for another three months or whatever, uhm, until, until you start to, you know, until they start to take shape. So I would say, uhm, yeaah, mid, middle of the season we should start seeing, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the positive effects of Fred Vasseur, hopefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, and the reason why you gotta have one boss is you gotta have one direction. Uhm, now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are structures, you know, there are Grand Prix teams where the team principal is, you know, is effectively is the CEO of the business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and you know, all strategy, big decisions, uhm, will, will come from that, that person. And then there's other Grand Prix teams where the team principal, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Runs the, the racing element, if you like. Uhm, you know, with less strategic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Input into the team so so yes of course it can work uhm, i think that as long as there is a clear structure and everybody knows what they're doing uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, then of course it would, but quite often because of the personalities, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's very difficult because having two people trying to make the big decisions and you get big decisions then by committee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You end up with diluted strategy and direction. Certainly I can, I can tell you, you know, just from my own personal opinion, I definitely wouldn't want to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if, if my name was above the door then I'd want to be making all the decisions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's a massive responsibility, uhm, there's no doubt about it. As you, as you say, it's, it's, you know, and I've said this myself in the past, you can describe Ferrari in Italy as a religion, uhm, definitely, uhm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the national team and therefore you are representing the nation, not just a brand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so it is tough, uhm, and you don't need thick skin, you need, you need rubber skin, you know, because the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think the problem with it, not the problem, but the, but the reality of the situation is, um, it goes through cycles. Um, and I can remember this myself personally, you know, you'd be held up on a pedestal and you'd be thought about as being the best things in sliced bread. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 4, 6, 6 weeks, 2 months later, uhm, you know, uh, people are literally spitting at you in the street. Uhm, so, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's a tough dichotomy to be honest. And you just have to ride it out, you know, none of it is, is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, you know, the, the, you kind of have to blend the highs into the lows so, so that you just get, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when people are telling you how great you are, it's important not to listen to it. And it's equally important when people are telling you how rubbish you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that happens. So, you know, I think that Fred is, is, is gonna go through all of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, you know, he's a good guy. He's been in this sport, uhm, in motor sport for a long, long time, uhm, in senior positions, you know, at Grand Prix before he came into, uh, Alpha, Romeo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and in fact there was a, there was a, I told you I was rubbish on history, wasn't it? Because there was a bit in the middle, uhm, between, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between Art Grand Prix and Alfa Romeo, which was Renault. Uhm, so, you know, he's, he's, he's been there. He's, he knows what it's like. It's a different intensity, a different pressure in Ferrari. Uhm, but he just has to get on with it. You know, it's part of his job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and get them to go and do all that Grand Prix racing nonsense. You can just get them all kind of headed into, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, being really, being really, um, focused on, on development and understanding and picking the last two events. I think that when you're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is an opportunity, uhm, for, not just for Ferrari, but for all of the teams, you know, is an opportunity because when, when you're right in the midst of racing, you can't, you sometimes can't put your head up and you, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not always easy to see the obvious things that are in front of you because you're just headlong into delivering races and just trying to maximise those races. And, and that means that obviously there's a large chunk of your organisation that isn't doing that, but they are drawn towards what's going on at the racetrack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uhm, little things that, that perhaps, you know, don't go quite right. So then you've got to kind of turn your organization into, into uhm, dealing with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once all that's gone, like we're going to have in April, uhm, Ferrari will be able to concentrate fully on the, the, the job in hand, which is, you know, trying to get their act together, uhm, and produce a, a faster Formula One car, and maximise that car at the track as well, because I think it's important that we understand that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, it's not just about bringing a fast Formula One car, it's also about, you know, maximising it and getting the most points out of it as you can every single week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and the rest, and the rest. People like me, we just tinker with Formula One cars all day long. You forget about the racing bit, we just want to do our, we just want to have fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think that, you know, my opinion is that we've got a decent balance now, you know. I mean, if you look back in the day, we were doing like 35,000 kilometers of testing, more, 50,000 kilometers of testing per year, uhm, plus, you know, lots of running on the Friday and all the rest of it. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's hard now, especially with the little teams and the amount of capital investment that the teams can spend each year with a cost cap, that you can get rid of the free practice element altogether. Uhm, I think that is hard. Uhm, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there has to be some element where the cars can run on the track where it's not for points or positions on the grid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, otherwise it's, you kind of, there's no track time left because winter testing is so short and then if there was no testing as Friday's become during the year, it just becomes harder and harder on the technical team and harder for, you know, exactly what we're talking about here for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For teams to be able to understand their cars and then catch up, uhm, because, you know, you can have the best computational fluid dynamics, simulation, wind tunnels in the world, but if that's not correlating, uhm, directly to the track and the performance on track, you've got to understand why that isn't. The only way you can do that is by running your car on the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I do agree with, with Steph that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, perhaps it can be slightly more entertaining for, for, for the public, but as uhm, as, as you've just, you know, deridedly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, and certainly, you know, my time in Formula One, uhm, you know, the Liberty Media Organisation, uhm, that was, they only ever did good things with the sport, you know, predominantly they do good things with the sport, they're not afraid to experiment, they're not afraid to break the status quo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think what we've ended up with is, is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, they want to push the bounds of, of entertainment. Uhm, but they do that, uhm, with a lot of respect to the, to the DNA Formula One. Uhm, so we've never gone down, you know, artificially, teams being able to artificially win, win races. You know, it has to remain one of the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's such an immensely difficult thing to do. When you layer on top of that you've got to win 18 of them or 15 of them to win a world championship in one season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allow the sport to deviate away from, from that, that challenge, not being, you know, as immense as it is now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but you've got to keep it entertaining as well. You know, it can't just be for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, middle-aged male population sitting watching it on linear TV. You know, you've got to keep, you've got to bring new audiences in and we've got to bring diverse audiences in. Uhm, and you only do that by, by tweaking the format. And I think Liberty have done a great job of tweaking the format, but remaining true to, to what is really Formula One.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm assuming you have something to do with this. With what? I told you to order work shirts. These aren't work shirts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work shirt is a black polo with a gold logo. I'm not a salmon kind of guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where did they get them? They got them from a charity auction. I've told her a million times, charity auctions, like half the stuff is fake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I can't say they're his boots because I have no documentation saying they're his boots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'll admit it, you did a good job on this purchase. So you have a wrestling school here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you ready to move on? Uh, sure. So this next one is Tapatio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, last but most importantly, what is your deal with Crème Brulee? What do you have against Crème Brulee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next one's a little bit hotter, you ready to move on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I'll think you'll find that it's actually more of like a pleasant sauce. You'll find. I'm not trying to influence your-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, that is what it means. So this one is High River Rogue, number six. We're now on the back nine, Tony, and you're doing pretty good, I have to say. How are you feeling?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's impossible to interview Tony Hawk at ComplexCon and not bring up...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this next one is mad dog 357 is our second hottest hot sauce and we're almost there, Tony. We're almost there. Alright. Not a fun one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hanging around those jackass guys, they always talk about it themselves. Like if you, if you, if you put your guard down, you have to watch out. You have to keep your head on a swivel because someone's coming in with a crazy prank that never happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tony, you don't have to if you don't want to. It's okay, you don't have to if you don't want to. But I just do a little dab for the people. This is gonna clump bad, I can already tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to leave anything to chance, I don't want people saying, oh, D'Angelo ate half the wing, Sean, like whatever, big glob, big glob, making up for it. How's that? That's perfect, that's perfect. For the people. More, oh more!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm here in Boston because my buddy Steve Grads told me about this amazing Red Sox collection. And he tipped me off that the seller might actually be willing to sell a few pieces. Hey, Rick. Hey, how's it going? Alright, Pat, welcome. Thanks for coming out here. Oh, thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, he's Mr. Baseball in Boston. Oh, he rode all over it. That's really cool. Home run, number 477, June 24th, 1958. Yeah, I think Ted Williams was basically considered a god in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's pretty incredible. Yeah, it's Cy Young, who's arguably the greatest baseball player ever to live. He's a pitcher that won over 500 games. 511. It would be mathematically impossible for any pitcher to do that nowadays because they just, they don't play that many games. So, super cool collection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So gloves off, what is the price of the Ted Williams ball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm asking $175,000 for that. Okay. It's a little bit pricey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm gonna go give, uh, Steve a call. Okay. I just want a little input here. Give me a few minutes, I'll be right back, I'm gonna go give him a call. Okay, great. So I guess you already know about this stuff.

[Assistant] So I really love number 477, Ted Williams. I think it's really, really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, alright, so the ball and the saiyang, I will give you 175 grand. For all of it. For these two right, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm down in Florida looking for a vintage sport boat for a client of mine, and I think I found one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this the boat? Yep. Sam 5. And I might be kicking myself here later because for some reason I brought Chumalong. Hey skipper! It's Rick Harrison. Can we talk on the phone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Me and Rick are on vacation, so this is a perfect way to kick it off. If we're working, this is not a vacation. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything about this boat is absolutely amazing. Please tell me you're not letting him drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one of the original boats that he did that was designed like this. It's wooden hull. It's all mahogany inside. It's teak deck. It's got new engines in it. Everything's been redone. It's exactly what I'm looking for. You've done a beautiful job maintaining this boat. Now we'll just see if I can come up with the right price on it. So what'd you think, Chum? I thought it was pretty awesome, but I guess we do gotta get to the beach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well thanks anyway, man. You're welcome. You're welcome. You did an amazing job with this thing. You really did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really close on this boat, but I have a customer that's willing to pay a certain amount, and by the time I get this thing back to the west coast, there's no money to be made. Have a good one. See ya. You know what a boat means, right? Bust out another thousand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here at the National in Chicago, which is a huge collector's convention that's jam-packed with cool stuff from all over the country. I'm actually here doing a celebrity appearance, but I'm also here to buy stuff, so hopefully it's gonna be a great day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, how much you want for this thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna go get Steve. He's the autograph guy. Maybe we could do something. Give me a few minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So big question, you got the paperwork right there, you think it's real, what do you think it's worth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You recognize this? Uhm, is that Knight Rider? D1. That's pretty amazing. What's a Knight Rider?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Kit, 1982, Knight Rider, David Hasselhoff. The car would talk to you. Oh, I remember, Knight Rider. I'm sorry, I was born in 82, it was a little before my time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds like Rick after lunch. This thing is awesome. Yeah, yeah, Chubb, it's cool, but this is what we came to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should I drive? Alright, this is why we came here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't feel like super jerky sometimes when you get in a muscle car, you know, you get on the gas and it's like... That's what it's supposed to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do you think about the car, Rick? So far, I love it. So what are you thinking about offering it? I think I'll offer him $60,000 for it. I think that's a fair price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't, I can't go much slower than that. They're going for like 85, 90 at an auction. But once you take the auction fees out and all the brain damage there, that's why I'm thinking 65.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've come down to the pawn shop today to sell my signed photograph of Babe Ruth. It's worth lots of money. I'm hoping to sell it today for 7,000, but I would take, uh, as little as 5,500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where in the world did you get this? 20 years ago, I was asked to remove boxes from an old lady's home. And before I tossed them in the dumpster, I opened them up and I found that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little bit nervous because of the two different pens being used and I'm hoping that at least Babe Ruth is real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some consider him the greatest boxer of all time. I consider him the greatest self promoter of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's going on? How you doing, man? Pretty good. What can I do for you? Got an interesting piece here. It is a LeBron James high school game used mouthpiece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a LeBron James high school game use mouthpiece. It says King James on the front of it. Gloria, his mom's name on the side, along with number 23. I am hoping to get $12,000 for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and there's also a picture of LeBron with it in his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His high school memorabilia doesn't come up on the market very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty cool. I mean, he's one of the greatest golfers of all time. He really was the face of golf for about four years. He was a winner. I mean, he won 18 major championships. That even beats Tiger Woods, so. In terms of autograph collectability, Jack Nicklaus is at the top of his game still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect. So the glove looks like it's definitely older. It's not a newer type of glove. Uh, give me a little idea what year this was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the first thing obviously I want to do is kind of just look at the signature. If you don't mind, you could flatten that out for me a little bit. Jack Nicklaus had this beautiful flowing first name, his last name completely legible, and a lot of times would add a salutation similar to what this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the exemplars obviously match spot on. That's a real Jack Nicholas autograph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a personalization isn't the best thing, you know, uhm, it's not the worst thing either, but in this case, it does affect the value a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think right now on the market, considering it's personalized, there's not a letter from Jack stating it's something he used. I put the value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recently, I got a lead on a huge collection of Kobe Bryant game worn memorabilia. Kobe is legendary, and it'd be insane not to follow up. So I convinced Rick to help me chase down the deal in sunny California. I know you can't contain all the excitement you have. When we go in here, I want you to be on your best behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't say nothing crazy, alright? Took a lot of work to get here today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2002, 2003, Kobe had just got out of his Adidas contract, and he had a one year clause in his contract where he couldn't re-sign with anybody. So, he's not wearing Adidas like when he first started. He wore the Allen Iverson Reeboks, and these are player editions made for Kobe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, these are both Jordans. These are some of the most iconic Jordans ever made. And Kobe got to wear these on the court, Rick. The next year, he signed with Nike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. This is, you know, Kobe number 24. He was originally number 8, but Kobe actually switched up numbers in the middle of his career. Even when you switch teams, you usually keep your number when you're a player like Kobe. I mean, arguably the greatest player ever. Maybe he just thought he was three times better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where you always see Kobe on, either this yellow jacket right here or this one right here walking on the court. Oh, this one's signed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty cool, those are like the goats. So, how much is the whole collection?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I chose the Reeboks because, I mean, these are the Allen Iversons. They're a player edition made for Kobe in the Lakers colors. You know, both shoes are signed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here's your guy. Alright, Rick? Yeezy Busta? Yeezy Busta, Rick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the time, set skateboarding shoes on the map to be worth something more than just to skate in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It came out in 1996 and it was a live action movie. It had Michael Jordan and some other basketball players in it along with the Looney Tunes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see here. Well, definitely looks right. I mean, I feel like Shaq's waist was bigger than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shaq is one of the greatest basketball players of my time period. This was before LeBron, you know, this was in the Kobe era. Shaq was just this massive seven foot one basketball player who had a huge presence on the court. He couldn't really shoot the ball too far away from the rim, but when you're that size you don't need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do say his name on there and they're big, but someone could have easily just wrote that right in there. I'm gonna come around and check this out. Wow, it's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty big here. Let me try it on here if you don't mind. Yeah, no worries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually kinda like it. It fits. I might get the sleeves hands up and wear this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this right here, it's either gotta be Shaq's or Paul Bunyan's. What are you looking to do with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, I have no idea. If you don't mind, I'd like to call Buddy down to come take a look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Supposedly Shaq's suit. It's custom made, it has a tag inside that says custom made for Shaquille O'Neal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you heard what he said. He thinks it's worth, you know, $500 in a retail setting. With that being said, what are you willing to take for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah, uhm, that's still gonna be too much for me because I'm gonna need to be able to make a profit on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really cool. It's Shaxx. Appreciate you bringing it in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kobe started with the Lakers I think in about 1997. So imagine where you were in 97. I think you might have still had hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, even if you're not a Kobe fan, like I'm not a huge Kobe fan, but you gotta appreciate what Kobe did. I mean, he's one of the greatest players of all time. Over 30,000 points, over 7,000 rebounds, over 6,000 assists, two-time NBA final MVP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is a practice jersey, which is cool. I mean, I mean, it's got the finals patch on it. It's got, uh, player ID 24 right here. It came from 2010, his last year in the finals. He won the MVP this year. If you're gonna buy a practice jersey, this is probably the coolest one to own. You gotta know these kind of things, Rick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kobe Practice Jersey from the 2010 Finals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let me check it out, see what you got here. Phil Jackson, Gary Payton, The Glove, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we all know Kobe Bryant's going, we all know Peele Jackson's going. Oh, Shaq!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lakers absolutely dominated the NBA in the early 2000s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the help of Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, and people like Phil Jackson, they were unstoppable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got this certificate of authenticity from the Lakers Youth Foundation. They probably signed this up and put it in a charity auction and raised $1,600 for that, you know? So, do you know how much you're looking to get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Well, I'll tell you what, I want a buddy of mine to come down and check it out. And, you know, I want to see how much this is worth, because I don't know if it's worth 1600, it could be less, it could be worth more, I don't want to rip you off. You know, I gotta see you every day at the gym. Yeah, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you what man, I'll give you 300 bucks for it. Oof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely can't go 450. I don't even know if I can go 400.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, it's a deal. Alright, uh, I gotta do the paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 6487. That's when they lost to the Lakers. Correct. Robert Parrish is an NBA icon. He played 21 seasons. He was a nine-time All-Star. So to see something of his come in the shop is pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a lot of money. Uhm. It's an investment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, I don't even know if they're worth that, but I have a friend who would know. He owns a sports shop right down the street. If you got some time, I'll call him and see if he can come down. That'd be great. Alright, well let me go give him a call. Just hang out right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it looks like, uh, we're pretty far apart there. You were asking 38,000 and my guy tells me 1,200. So, with that said, really I'm gonna max out at 800 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate you coming down, man. Yep, good to see you. Good luck with that. Good luck to you. Thank you. Take care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, you heard Stevie said a thousand, I know you're asking eight hundred. Uhm, I'm gonna offer you six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, my dad really likes the movie and I don't think I'll see another one. So, you got a deal. Meet me over there. We're gonna do some paperwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Emmett Smith, he's like one of the greatest running backs of all time. He still holds the all-time rushing record. It'll probably never get beat because this was a time when one running back would carry the ball for the majority of the game. In 93, 94, and 96, the Cowboys won three Super Bowls because these three were unstoppable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this pitcher is one of my fondest memories of the NFC Championship game. Very first one. 92-93 season. We're playing the 49ers out there in Camelstik Park. And we win this game to go to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you have the double deuces. Now this is supposed to be a little star in the middle. And every now and then that star is not quite there, but it's, it's there. And so, when I look at the signature, the signature looks fine to me. Like a legit Emmet Smith signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a 1962 American League All-Star team signed baseball. Hey Rick, who's on first? I'm not gonna play that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have Roger Maris on the underside here. This is the year after he broke the home run record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a two-time AL MVP. This is the entire roster?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know the Marist single sign balls go for about $2,000, so I figure right around there would be a good price range to start at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little worried about the expert. If this ball turns out to be fake, I'm going to be upset I got taken by a little old lady in Kansas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a kid coming out of school, chum. I don't mean to put a pressure on, you know, knowing you and stuff, but uhm. I gotta keep my job, too. I get it, I get it my brother. Uh, can we go four-fifths?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's going on? What do we got? Uh, James Brown jumpsuit and his boots. There's a couple of things that I want to take a look at. You don't know when he wore this on stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason obviously for the very thick piece of elastic, he was a little portly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He always wore his pants tight and high because he wanted to see his feet fly. So what are your real concerns about this? Do you really think it's James Brown's? It's absolutely correct for James Brown. I think it's definitely his. It's definitely, everything's right for the period of being made in the 70s. So, what's it worth? I think with the boots and the package together,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's definitely worth three to five thousand dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, alright, good luck. The collectors market for James Brown is fairly strong. I think it's a good collectible. It's worth having. So what's your best price?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where'd you get it? Obviously you didn't play for the basketball team. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not necessarily. I've got a few right here with nothing on the side. Okay. And I actually got those from the guy who won them. Okay. So, we have no idea where it came from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I know that it's just from another collector. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This can be a sample, or it could literally be Carl Lewis's, no one's gonna know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really. You know, I've dealt with it before. It will drive you crazy trying to figure it out. When it comes to sports collectibles, an Olympic gold medal is one of the coolest things out there. But it really matters who it belonged to. It could have been one of the 36 won that year, or it could have been one that never was handed out. Without a story behind it, it's hard to guess a price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you mind me asking what you paid for it? I paid about $13,000 for it. Paid $13,000 for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Olympic medals from this year have sold for $80,000. There's also ones that have sold for $5,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think you paid a little too much for it. You kinda took a leap of faith there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have a bat signed by Babe Ruth and Kristy Matheson. He was a great pitcher, he had set all kinds of records. To Babe Ruth, it's famous for chocolate candy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where have you kept all this stuff? So it was all in the basement of my mom's house in Queens. And the NBA offices are in New York. So if I got an award, I'd just say send it to my mom's house. They knew my mom real well. And then I had a fire. My house burned down, but I managed to keep all my stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into accumulating this, but uhm, it was a great life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, a lot of kids who have to wear glasses kinda were encouraged by me. Cause they say, well, Kareem wears glasses and he's playing in the NBA, you know. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We absolutely can make a deal, and if we do, maybe you can come down to LA and we'll go to a Laker game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mickey Mantle. He's in the top 10 best baseball players of all time. I mean, he was a 20-time all-star. That's, you know, it's insane. Yeah, I would say so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the crowd booed him for three years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mickey Manil helped to find what an American sports icon is? And sign mint items of his?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got some serious condition issues with it and uhm, one of my problems with Mickey Mantle is he had a pretty long career after baseball. Right. And he made more money signing autographs than he ever did playing baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bringing me in something here that's amazing. The home runs this guy could have hit in this uniform, the bases he stole, game winning catches, all kinds of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is amazing, man. I mean, there's very few guys in the world that can compare to him in that sport. 660 home runs, batting average are 302. Definitely in the top 10 of baseball players. Right. Of all time. If you open up the pants, it gives all of his details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, one of the best baseball players of all times. Actual uniform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in the day, players would only get a couple of uniforms a season, so finding one in such great condition definitely makes me nervous. If it's real, we're talking something worthy of the Hall of Fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the jersey feels authentic, I just, there's, I have no way of telling for sure that it's real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna need a little bit of proof before I shell out that kind of money. Let me have someone come down here and check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got to check for authenticity, game worn, uhm, you know, there's a million little things that can make this worth more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much are you looking to get out of it? I'd like to get 45,000. And I'd like to be able to make some money. I'm not gonna go anywhere near that. I'll give you 20 grand for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've gotta make some money on it, man. I really do. Uhm, I'll go about 22,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's real? Yeah. Okay. Alright, well, give me an idea of how much money you're looking to get out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was Turner the staff member? He was the owner. Yea, Ted Turner. This belonged to Ted and he issued it or gave it away? Could make it worth more. They had some pretty good people on the team back then, didn't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's a pretty big difference when it comes from staff to player rings. I mean, everybody wants a player's ring because it wasn't by a guy who actually won the World Series. So what do you want to do with it, my man? Yea, I want to sell it. I'd like to get 13,000 for it. 13,000, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Championship rings are one of my dad's favorite things to buy. We make really good money when we sell them to sports collectors, but every ring is different, so getting the price right can be tricky. You mind if I have a buddy come down and take a look at it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, right now, if you have to hold me to an offer, I'm going to offer you four grand because it's a staff ring. My guy might come in and tell you it's worth a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So was it actually Ty Cobb's bad or was it like a Ty Cobb model?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the real question is, was it his personal bat? A bat that Ty Cob actually used in a game is worth a lot more than the model bat that he sold to a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me have a few buddies come in. Sure. Uh, let me get a buddy who's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate it. Alright man, well let's hope the next guy shows up and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. And you got a certificate of authenticity here? Yes. Let me take a look at it real quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Dodgers absolutely dominated baseball in the 1950s. They won five national championships and two World Series. If this ball is signed by a championship team, it can be worth some serious money. So what are you looking to do with it? Uh, sell it. What are you looking to get? Uh, I'd like to get $3,500. Okay, uhm, got some questions with the ball. Uh, the signatures are in ballpoint pen, that's uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not to me, my man. I appreciate you coming down though. Next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, they all look like they're from 1933. Real kind of interesting time in baseball. I mean, it was right during the Depression and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're all autographed? Yes, every single one of them. Okay. So I see you were smart about it and sent them all off to be graded. I did. Let's see what we have here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got Sam Bird there. New York Yankees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the best golfers in professional baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then, it was in chewing gum so it was marketed to kids and no one really thought they'd be worth anything. And mom would go in the room and throw all the crap away, which was the baseball cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I completely suck at pricing these things out. And I've had some bad luck in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I know the autographs are authentic because it says that on there, but they don't grade them. What do you think about the condition? Let me take a look, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for coming down, man. Thank you. See you later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was really, really known for not signing autographs. I mean this guy rolled with a crowd of really big dudes that if you ran up to him and asked for a signature, you'd probably get shoved onto your ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ten times more famous than anybody on the team. Who would even want this thing? I know you hate to admit it, man, but there's a lot of Los Angeles Dodgers fans out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've got some concerns here. I'm just kind of trying to wrap my head around...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank Sinatra on a Dodgers pinnit. You know, it's kind of too real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if you had the actual team signing it, then you know, I could see a value there if you had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a buddy. You mind if he, uh, comes down and takes a look since we don't have any paperwork? That's fine. Alright, I'm gonna go call my buddy. I'll get him right down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First and foremost, I don't know if the signature's real. I don't even know what it's worth. And Frank Sinatra signing a baseball pennant, they don't seem to go very well together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've gotta trust my guy. I mean, he works for probably the most reputable company that there is when it comes to autographs. I'll go up to four if it helps you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why they're known as the Lovable Losers. I guess not anymore, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was just a Mickey Mantle thing, I would just tell you to kick rocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the fact that it's a letter to Roger Maris is definitely cool. Especially since apparently he was in rehab while he wrote it because he took more than a couple trips there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For an autograph like this the money's all in the story. So I just need to make sure it checks out. Alright, so what does the letter say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be worth it, but, you know, if he was in rehab, sounds really, really preachy and not very Mickey Manilish. I mean, the whole story just sounds way too good to be true. Plus, you got somebody that covered the whole thing up in packing tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me have a buddy of mine that authenticates for a PSA come check this out and see what he thinks it is. Okay, great. Wanna give Steve a call?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do we have there? We got a 1936 Olympic pin from Berlin, Germany. Where in the world did you find this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know O.J. had just been found guilty of the double homicide by the civil court. Basically they said, okay, we're gonna liquidate your estate. So they took all O.J.'s stuff and they put it in an auction site and they just got whatever they could for it and they gave all the proceeds from that to the Brown family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like bronze, it looks kinda, you can see the age on it and everything. It's definitely weathered. So what do you wanna do with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the most I could probably do and I'd have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Verify with my boss first, but it's probably going to be 75, maybe 80,000. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it's worth 125. It could go for over 100 at an auction. But, you know, unfortunately this ain't an auction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that man. If you get three or four OJ fans bidding it up, the sky's the limit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, so why I got you, I gotta ask you. What's up with the clock, man? That's your signature thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a lot of money for an Halloween costume. You're really gonna be the mushroom man this year. I'll meet you right over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you know, I do see the J, which is a good thing. He signed like that, you know, really predominantly. So we do have J. Jonas Wagner on here. First thing I want to look at, just check the whole surface for the ink here. That's pretty interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, next thing I want to do, what I assembled here today are basically his autograph, authentic examples. Pretty intricate, nice signature, pretty basic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you got the Bulls jersey. I got Pistons. Oh, the Bad Boys. That was the Bad Boys team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people remember him as a basketball player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk to you next time. Alright. So, what do you want for these?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, here's where I stand. As cool as this is, written out to your daughter's name, it's a lot harder to sell. This is just a game worn jersey. This is gonna be easy to sell. The other two are gonna be easy to sell as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, they're not gonna be easy to sell like this. I'm gonna have to give them frames and I'm gonna have to display them. After me framing them and putting them on here and paying someone to sell them, we're looking more like the $3,500 range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I can't see passing this deal out. My boss is probably gonna kill me, but I think we got a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shoe is just iconic, you know, people my age grew up watching Michael Jordan play basketball in it. People my age grew up playing basketball in these shoes. Now when shoes like this come out, kids line up two or three days in advance outside the store to wait for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's three Michael Jordan signatures and the shoes ain't worth very much money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up? These are Jordan number fives. I have 40 pairs of Jordans. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So jeez, they can go for several hundred dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't look like it, but this whole shoe is actually made out of reflective material. What? Uhm, do you have a camera on you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you doing? Good, how you doing today? Oh, pretty good. What do you have here? It's a suit owned by Shaquille O'Neal that outgrew me and I'm ready to sell it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see here. It's got a little bit of writing in there. It says Shaq O'Neal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no problem with an expert coming in today to take a look at my suit. And I think when he comes in, he'll see all the labels and realize that it's real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'd probably go 900. I mean, it was, you know, during the year that he won the championship. Uhm, I think you guys would sell it in a hurry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't pay over the value for it. Yeaah. The lowest I'm probably willing to go is 500 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where'd you get it? Obviously you didn't play for the basketball team. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I know that it's just from another collector. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This can be a sample, or it could literally be Carl Lewis's, no one's gonna know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really. You know, I've dealt with it before. It will drive you crazy trying to figure it out. When it comes to sports collectibles, an Olympic gold medal is one of the coolest things out there. But it really matters who it belonged to. It could have been one of the 36 won that year, or it could have been one that never was handed out. Without a story behind it, it's hard to guess a price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanna sell it to me today, you're gonna take a $3,000 loss. I'll buy it for $10,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure there was a lot more concussions back then than there is now. So what do you want to do with it? I want to sell it. Alright, how much are you looking to get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here are my concerns, man. It's not a ring, it's not a signed ball, it's a program, and I just don't know how many are around and what they're worth today. So you mind if I have a buddy of mine come down and take a look at it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I brought in some, uh, NFL items I'd like for you to have a look at. What do you have? Some, uh, 1966 Dolphins playbooks. Actual playbooks? Actual playbooks that they gave the players. That is really cool. How'd you have to kill to get these? Uh, my father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is your dad a player or? He was drafted from SMU in 1966 and went to the Dolphins and went to the Raiders. What position do you play? Planker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well these are the only two I've ever seen as well. And one of them covers two games, the other book is just strictly one game. So it seems like every trip they made a new book. And he had to learn all this, that's the amazing part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another interesting piece that's in here is an itinerary for the trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's also kind of funny that they stayed at the Sheraton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even down to how much money they receive for lunch and dinner and how they should spend it. Lunch, three dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to sell it. How much you want for it? I really don't know what something like this would be worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me call someone who might know what they're worth. Okay, sounds fair. Let me go give them a call. Alright. I'm very glad that they're calling an expert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks man, you're the best. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the number 400. That was a little higher than I thought they would be worth. So how much do you want for them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. I own Tortuga Trading Incorporated and I specialize in antique arms and armor. Just when you think you've seen it all, something else comes into play and just blows everything else out of the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is definitely not a toy. It may look like a toy, but it's not. This little cannon can pack the same punch as a pistol or a musket. If you were on the business end of one of these things, it would definitely kill you. Actually this dates to the 18th century.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just the form of the barrel, and especially being it a bronze, this is literally a miniature cannon barrel. This was more for instruction. It would be like a military officer trying to teach his kids the principles about firing a cannon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. And, you know, the other part of this is that these were really loud noisemakers. So sometimes, even on shipboard, they would have signal cannons. We don't know where this was used, but it could have been used on a ship as a signal gun. So you think this thing will fire? We'd need to really look at it closely beforehand, but I don't see why not. Okay. And what do you think it's worth?
