[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again, maybe another hour on a Sunday morning. So actually a lot of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The permutations that are possible during the race have been like well debated in advance. So although we go in with a plan A, we've got a lot of this might happen or that might happen already lined up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So thankfully, nine times out of ten, maybe more than that, when we've made a call to do a pit stop, it has been acted upon. Maybe an advance has been a bit of, I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one that sticks out in my mind was, was a wet Russia a few years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and both drivers actually, um, decided that they knew best and would stay out on track when it was wet. And then both got around the first corner and was like, oh, it was quite wet round there. I'm like, yeah, that's what we're trying to say. So I think you've always got those incidents, but you try and go back afterwards and review what you knew at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how you could have conveyed that more clearly to the driver. And what we did in that instance was actually they came back to us and said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is what the information I didn't have from you or what you could have told me better or we looked at the information that they had as well. And that was a very famous race because lots of, you know, I went through the radio comments, lots of people didn't listen or. Exactly. Yeah, there was a lot of discussion. So, it's just a learning process like any working relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you can best understand what they hear and know, because they actually hear reasonably little in the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. And it's just, it's almost like the, you know, that relationship we get to where you say something and someone can finish your sentence. Like that's the ultimate goal. You want to be at that point where they understand. So yeah, I've been very lucky, I think, generally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think so. And I think when Heath was first joining the team, obviously we've had years of listening to Sebastian at Ferrari, questioning the strategy, arguing the strategy, whatever. So I was a bit apprehensive when he joined of how hard he was going to be to work with. And actually then I was pleasantly surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but I think the funny thing with drivers is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally on a Thursday or Friday, they're not too bothered with the strategist. And then by Saturday night, Sunday, you become the most important person in the room and everyone wants to talk to you. Both drivers want to talk to you. Both drivers are interested in their strategies. So I would say, yeah, Sebastian definitely spend a lot of time in it himself and he would come up with, Oh, there was a race in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2000 and whatever where this happens, go and have a look at that one. I go and research that race. Yeah, exactly. Like he knows a lot more historically than I would know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think all of the drivers are, you know, so involved in their strategy on Sunday morning. I think much more than people in the outside world maybe say. We go through it with them both individually. We go through their start tire a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they're both, they both need to have bought into it when they leave that room on Sunday morning or it won't work. And even if there's a slightly different reason they want to start tired to you, you need to really take that on board because if they're not,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Folly in the zone when the lights go out, then you're not going to get the right answer out of them at the end of the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think he was really good straight away and straight away he was really open to the ideas that the team had. I sort of expected, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he came from Ferrari, I thought, here's someone who's, you know, four time world champion coming to a team lower down the grid, less resource. We have less people on the ground, less in the strategy department, et cetera, et cetera. You know, is he going to really be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking all these guys are joking about and actually he was really open to our ideas and our perception of things and I guess over the years we have had podiums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we maybe shouldn't have had or we've had good results when we maybe shouldn't have had. So I guess he'd taken that on board as these guys know what they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm going to take some of their ideas and input some of my own. So yeah, it was much more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And an interaction between both sides of trying to get the best from both ideas that I thought it was going to be. So yeah, it was quite quickly, very easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so there's a few points in that, so it used to be, and the rules have changed in this, that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People had like switches on their dash, so you would have like a tire switch where you could mark how good or bad your tire was. So actually you could say to the pit wall without ever saying anything on the radio how good or bad it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the radio information is shared amongst all the teams. So all the teams hear the radio that all the other drivers are doing. So there is a little aspect of times of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my experience has been in the past that potentially that leads to more errors than it does to the kids. So if the driver incorrectly remembers what your code word is, then it can be potentially wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, well, I'm always really impressed with how well they do, like, to all of the switches in the steering wheel, everything that you're asking with them, as well as getting the fast lap done, uhm, and then sometimes the driver will come in and go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I see it on the TV. It's like, how do you have the margin or the overhead to watch any of the TVs as you're going around the track? But you will get drivers that ask questions if picked up from whatever's going on on the big screens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but yeah, the communication stuff, but then you also get, you've had so many instances over the years of a team telling a driver a box in a code word. So they might not say box a slap. They might say a code word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the driver just responds with, yeah, box a slap. Or the person on the pit wall says it in such a voice that it's obvious just from the tone of the voice what they mean. So they might say like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yellow four, but they'll say like, yellow four, yellow four, yellow four. And it's just like, the excitement is so much that it's obvious what they're trying to do, regardless of what the words are. Um, so yeah, it's real, I find the codeword saying really interesting, dynamic, but I think majority of teens, I tend not to use them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeah, that's a really interesting question. There's a few things. So on the fuel, it generally is worth it because if you think that for most circuits, like an average circuit, 10 kg is around three tenths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every lap for 50 laps to carry that extra weight is massive and your launch off the line is dramatically affected because you're carrying that extra weight at that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you'll tend to find that even ignoring safety cars just for a straightforward race, people will under fuel the car. So starting off, there's not enough fuel to make it to the end of the race. And then you add an allowance for safety cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason for that is you try and race till you get to your first or second pit stop, if it's a two stop race. And then in the last, generally you can start to save a little bit more fuel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so you spent your fuel at the start and you're saving a little bit towards the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because you've nailed down your track position or you can just manage enough for the overtaking. Uhm, it's always difficult. We tend to lock a lot of the percentage chance of safety cars, you know, the backhoos of this world, higher chances, Silverstone. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it is generally worth the risk. Teams look as well as, if we're taking out two or three laps of safety car, teams look at how hard that will be to win back should there not be a safety car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and how detrimental that would be in lap time to win back. So there is a lot of analysis goes into that possibility. The other thing is that if your safety car comes very late in the race, so in the closing laps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't guarantee it's coming. So you've started to win back the fuel already anyway. And then often the safety car comes and you end up with too much fuel in the car and you've had 20 laps of saving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they tend to look at the lift and coast required, and we just mean time off, throttle off, brakes going into the corner, required to save the fuel for whatever you take out at that point. So there's a lot of analysis goes into that actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think quite regularly you see, I think a few years ago Alpine were always really aggressive on it. So their second stint was always much slower and they were always pushing the drivers really hard to save fuel. Uhm, I'd say more often than not teams are more on the cautious side. Uhm, so you often find that teams will end up with a bit extra fuel in the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, it's not going, let's say, dramatically wrong recently. I think teams are really nailed down the art of it and you know which races you can sort of get away with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the race where my impot had the most influence, uhm, there's two that spring to mind that's easy. I'll answer that bit first because that's an easier question. Yeah. Uhm, there's the Baurian win with Chaco in 2020 where he actually, uhm, crashed on lap one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And through that lap, it's boring that circuit layout to very quick laps. You've got a lot of decisions to make very quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we'd started on the soft tyre and we knew the medium would be a quicker tyre for the first stint. So even though Checo didn't need to change tyres, his tyres were actually fine after the shunt, which is very unusual. Normally you definitely need to change tyres when you've had a spin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We knew that the other tyres were quicker, so we made the call to stop under the safety car and change to the other tyres, because we knew it was the fastest race strategy. So that's actually one of the easiest decisions I've made, but also one of the ones that had the biggest effect on the race, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that made the strike, that made us be in that position to take, take it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was just all planning in advance. I knew which tire was quicker at that point. I knew that we were last anyway, so it was, you know, easy money. And I do remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, his race engineer beside me going, are you sure? And I was like, yeah, I'm so sure on this one. So that was the one. The other one that was a Brazil, I can't remember the year, but it was a wet race in Brazil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, again with Checo, we actually made no pit stops, but it got wetter and a little bit drier throughout the race. And there was a few red flags where we changed tires, but that was really difficult because every lap you're looking at the radar, you're trying to decide what the weather is going to be deciding not to stop as equally as difficult as deciding to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we were in the very closing laps in a podium position when I think it was for stop and overtook us. Um, but actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the strategic races that I think are interesting are like Bahrain this year, I really enjoyed watching because it's one of those races where it's about trying to hit the optimum strategy. It's multiple stop race, easy to overtake. So those are the ones that I think are really interesting from a strategic point of view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say that a race never, I don't think has ever panned out. We've never done the plan A stop lap exactly right. And there's loads of reasons why it doesn't pan out. You know, it could be a safety car. It could be traffic. It could be your tyre model's wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever it is, like the Monaco, for example, the tyre model very rarely changes because it's not that important to the race. But the traffic and the safety cars mean your race plan changes. So yeaah, it always changes quite a lot. What was the second part of the question?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a, no practice, like a one practice session straight into qualifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So on this, on this side of the fence, well, on the other side, I always thought it was more interesting from a strategy point of view, because actually it's the team that does the best analysis, the best setup, the, you know, the drivers that are more on it when they get to the first session. That's going to be interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but from an engineer point of view, you always want more data. The more that you have a tire model, the better, you know, nail down your race is going to be. So I find it really good when we have like a wet Friday, nobody gets good amount of data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you go into Saturday and it's really like everyone's reacting live to what's going on, reacting live to the tyre model. Those I think are much more interesting races. So I would quite like to see, you know, less of the practice session, but all of my engineering colleagues will say, please don't take away the practice session. We love data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am just going to say I would get rid of the practice, I would get rid of the standard weekend, I'd get rid of Friday. And I'd just have the FP3, Quali, Reus, have a two day weekend. I think that would just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make it much more, I know why we do the Friday, and I get that it's like more running for everything and I think the Friday is probably good at the minute because we give the young drivers an opportunity throughout the year to drive in that session. But I would quite like to see the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, to see less and more reaction on the, on the ball during the race to what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You always do the track walk and you think, wow, I've forgotten how steep or bad this is. So yeah, there's a few different reasons why certain circuits or certain countries that I love, you know, I love going to Canada, for example. Um, so yeah, there's a few, few interesting ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would imagine that AI is mature enough yet to be considered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But F1 or maybe a little bit, they've not embraced it as an emoji or not that I've experienced. I think AI, the power is going to come in AI predicting what you think your competitors are likely to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the more sophisticated we can build our model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of another team, the better, I think, for our own strategy decisions. And that's loads of things, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, are they likely to be aggressive trying to undercut us? Are they likely to extend their tyre further? What their radio comms mean in terms of what they're thinking or, you know, when they talk to a driver about front-way angle, like how many laps is that? Do they stop? There's loads of things that we could start to train a model on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simple things like what likelihood they are of doing a certain star-tire, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Verstappen starting at the back, is he likely to go for the harder start tire? So the more that we can build those models around other teams, I think it's going to be really interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, you know, selfishly probably as a strategist wouldn't like to see them replace the strategist on the pit wall because I think there's always going to be that human interaction. But I think we'd really love to model a strategist in another team. And the question that I've not quite got to the answer of yet is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, when I left the pit wall, did fundamentally some aspect of Aston Martin's strategy change? And actually does your AI need to be modelling?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ask the Martin strategy or the individual strategists. So it's an, it's an interesting question of, because, you know, some teams switch strategists week on week. So do you need to model which strategy it is on the pit wall or do both of them react in a very similar way? So it's a really interesting problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. No, exactly. And I think, I don't think it will get there because I think we all love the human interaction. Um, but it's going to be interesting to see how they can use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So I didn't know what I wanted to do at school. I, so I decided to do mechanical engineering because I liked mathematics and physics. So I thought that's quite a sea of fruit and there's lots of different jobs you can do at the end. And then even through that, I didn't know what I wanted to do as a mechanical engineer. I just thought, but I enjoyed it. So it was fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then an opportunity came up to join the McLaren graduate scheme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, well, yeah, that's really cool. And it was really interesting because I went there thinking, oh, even if I just get to see around McLaren, that's fine. I'll go home happy. That's a free tour. So I joined them as a graduate, which I did a lot of work in design. And then I joined the design office. I spent my first five or six years in design office. And then I moved to performance engineer with Jensen and then moved from McLaren to Aston Martin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was really interesting move because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I moved as half performance, half strategy, but as I moved, I'd never done strategy before, as I moved the strategist left, it was like, Oh, can you just do a bit more strategy? And then since I've been there, I've only ever done strategy. So it's been like evolving, but yeah, I was an engineer, which is just why I've got into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, well, I think that's not common. I think lots of people like join the Reis engineering team or the strategy team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I feel like I've really benefited from understanding a bit of what's going on around, a bit more of what's going on around me in terms of those engineering roles. Uhm, so yeaah, it's a bit of a mix I would say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at that time, Force India was a very, very small team. Obviously lots changed since then and McLaren were this massive powerhouse of F1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so there were some like real obvious, definitely left this really shiny, you know, lovely factory for this much older, not so shiny and lovely factory. And the size difference was massive at that time, you know, I left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember thinking the suspension group in McLaren, there was like 10 people, there was like front and rear group. And then I moved to Force India.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There just wasn't enough people to do all the work. So you instantly got involved in loads of things that you would have never been given before because there was no one else to do it. And it was really good for prioritizing what was important. Like you only worked on the stuff that was really going to make a difference and just ignored everything else. So yeah, there was huge differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's over the years, I'm sure they've got much closer together. Um, and the resource restriction, the budget capital had that across all of the teams now. So I'd imagine now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Aston Martin I left is much closer to the McLaren that I left and definitely with their new factory and stuff. But yeah, that's been an evolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what's different? Well, when I was watching F1, when I was younger,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a lot of like drivers on TV and you only ever seen a driver and I knew I was never going to be a driver and they were all guys, which they're still all guys. But I think we've got a lot better now at promoting all the other roles within the engineering department, all the other roles on the pet wall, all the other roles in the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a lot more understanding that females can do any of those roles. So I think that has got a lot better, I think. So there's a lot more understanding of what you can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot better image of engineering. It used to be like dirty overalls and stuff. So people really didn't think of designers or creative. I think that's got better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find that the opportunities have been there, like very equally there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's just been restriction that maybe people have placed upon themselves thinking they can't do it or it's a male role or whatever. But everything that I've applied for, I went for the opportunities of being there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just about, em, showing representation, I guess. So being fit to do things like this and say, you know, eh, females are there doing it. So there's no reason why you can't. So we're getting there, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I get asked this type of question loads, but the first thing is, it's good that you're doing your degree, that's really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try and get some experience that either leads you to teamwork or trackside environment. So I did things like Formula Student, which is like an iamakee run program where you build a single seater race car and that showed sort of some teamwork elements and some trackside elements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's loads and loads of race teams out there, junior teams, GT3 teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working for the GT3 teams, getting some trackside experience and just really like, one, I wanted to learn that I enjoyed being at the track, but it was good for me to prove that I wanted to be at the track and was prepared to put in the hours and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apply for everything that's going on. All of the teams have summer internships, year placements, whatever it might be. Apply for all of that sort of stuff. And if you don't get it, which you know there's more people than jobs available,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just get some feedback, like why didn't you get it? What could you do differently next year? Just, just keep trying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, I think maybe like a lot of my decisions has not necessarily been well planned out, but I, the 23 races became really difficult and I wanted to achieve more of a home life balance. And that's actually, and particularly I think post the COVID years, you sort of had a bit of a reset and I think about things and I just thought,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really enjoyed what I did before. I really enjoyed working for Aston Martin. I loved working for the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to step back and then I worked my six months notice to bring me the middle of 22. Um, and yeah, there was just, I just sort of thought I can't continue to live life like I'm 21 when I'm not 21. So let's, you know, try and do something different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, thank you for the positive feedback. The feedback's been really lovely, which is really good. Uhm, it's really hard to say what I'd rather be doing currently because I've only done sort of the one event and getting another run out in Baku. I'm enjoying, like, I'm learning so much about an industry that I've worked in for so long, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How the guys put the production together, like how it makes, it's stupid, like before I didn't think about what happened to make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I'm learning loads. I feel like I'm really enjoying this aspect of learning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, which I'm loving. I'm enjoying watching the race again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because before when you're on the pet wall, you're very focused on your own race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I'm really enjoying seeing what everyone's doing and trying to guess what they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm missing having all my data. So I'm missing having all the interaction or knowing what's happening from an, uh, from a racing side. So yeah, there's definitely aspects that I miss and I miss the team element, like, you know, the seeing, trying to pull together and really make the best of the car. So I'm sort of missing that. So undecided at the minute. That's come back to me at the end of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, well, like I say, just how much goes into the TV because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The teams are sort of 50 people limited at the track, a few more with the marketing guys. And the TV crew is massive, you know, all the cameras all around the track, everyone back in London or in the studios listening to everything goes on. So that aspect of the, just a huge volume of people involved in making a TV production has been very new to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, you know, the dynamic you have where we're all walking up and down the Petlian line. You're trying to get a little piece of information from someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I find that, oh, that you, you weren't doing before. And I guess before I was on the other side of it, of trying to give a little piece of information, but not so much information. So that's a really interesting dynamic now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I would really love to have a go at being a race engineer. So I'm a bit wild speaking of the driver, that aspect of it. I think that would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's tough. It's a tough gig, um, because we all know the abuse that they get, but I think that would be really interesting role to try for a little bit. Um, part of me, I've only done it in practice, but part of me loves the idea of giving like a proper pit stop ago, but I know that I'd be really terrible at it. So it would be really bad. Why would you be terrible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, cause I think when you watch those guys do it, like their reaction and their calmness is like another level. And even to the point where I can stand in the pit lane and listen to a pit stop or watch a pit stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And go, oh, that's not very good. Just because something's been slightly out of sync. And then you turn around and it's like three seconds and you think, oh, there's no way I'd be able to do that. So I'd like, I've only done it on like the, the practice ones, but I'd love, I think the competitiveness of me would really have me over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have previous of trying to be a driver and not being very good. So in McLaren I got an opportunity to run in the simulator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was Jensen's performance engineer, um, and just so Jensen knows this, I tried to get in his seat and I couldn't because his seat was too narrow. So first of all, they had to take the seat out because I couldn't fit in, which is embarrassing. But then as it was in the years where you needed to press the button for curves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you needed to use your battery yourself. So I was pressing the button and the guy's like, yeah, it's not working because you've not actually achieved full throttle yet. I was like, oh, okay. So I need to try harder. So I don't think I'll be very good at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there is, like, don't get me wrong. If someone said to you, you gotta go, go for it. I would definitely give, I would definitely buy. I just don't think I would be any good at it. There is that aspect. I think a lot of the guys and girls that are on the pit wall have experience in other series or, you know, junior formulas, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, not to anywhere near the same level, of course, or anywhere. But I think what they do is impressive. How they work it out. Their computing power, you know, we've all heard.

[Assistant] You know, typically it's the Alonzo's of the world or the Vals, where they say something that sounds so intelligent from the car, given everything that they're taking in. It's really impressive what they can do and all of, you know, what they need to remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I think they have respect for us in a different way in terms of the challenges that we face. So I think there is a mutual understanding there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'd love to say we're getting that direction, but we're really pushing the sustainable fuels. And I think that F1 in the past has been really good at leading the way in technology. You know, this is my mechanical engineering background. I want to see the technology develop. So I think we need to be careful between the resource restriction and the budget cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually still developing cotton edge technologies. So if we can push the sustainable fuel, the biofuels to a point where we're not using fossil fuels anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, overnight you can imagine it solves a whole crisis that we have in the world of not needing to change our cars because we can run them on green fuel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so that's what I'd love, I'd love to see us move in that direction rather than the electrical direction. I'd love to see us say about how do we make this engine green?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, that's one thing I'd like to see. Um, yeaah, and just those continuous, the technology is the bit that really interests me, you know, the engineer inside of it. So what we can do in those developments is really interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it feels like from my left, the team has just been up and up. Like the end of last year was really good as well. Um, so it's really, obviously you would love to be there as an astrologist when you're getting, you know, they've had three podiums from three so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yes, of course it would be lovely to be there. It would be lovely to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But wow, I'm so happy for those guys. You know, that team has gone through so much. You know, a lot of people have been there for 20 plus years, their whole lives, working through there, not having enough money, not having the resources, not having the upgrades, not having the factory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and I was, you know, I helped them design the new mission controller, the new factory. And you think, wow, this is going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So fantastic compared to what they currently have. I'm still always say we, but what they currently have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so I'm just so happy that it's coming together. You know, so many people have put in so much work, the whole race team there worked tirelessly over the last few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's loads of examples of people in the factory that have never really had a car that's gonna see the success that they're gonna see this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so I'm really happy for them and it was really lovely being there in Jeddah with Sky because you could speak to everyone. It was like first day back at school, you caught up with everyone in the Pitley and, um, so yeah, those guys are going to have a really good year and I'm really excited to see where it goes. I'm really happy, you know, for Lance and Lawrence, the work they've put in to get that team where it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and you know, Lance is really driving it with Alonzo. So I think it's going to be a really good year for them. Excited to see where they can, they can bring it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that you've had so many years of hoping the next year is going to be the next big thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and we've, don't get me wrong, we've had years where the car's been pretty good, it's been the fourth fastest car or whatever. I didn't really, when I left in the shutdown, get the sense that it was going to be the massive step that it was. And you know, maybe others didn't too. There's been a lot of talk of, you know, if Vettel would have done the same thing as well, but I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think the team even were really sure that it was going to be the massive step. And that's the problem with F1. You do all of this development, but you don't know what the others are bringing to the fore as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wasn't obviously the new factory, the new wind tunnel. I could see it was clear that in a few years time, the team would be very good. I just didn't think it would be this year, but I don't think that would have changed my decisions because my reasons for leaving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weren't because the car was doing, wasn't doing good and weren't because they didn't love the team. I did truly love working with the team. So it's still, you know, the calendar, the work life balance that wasn't going to change. And yes, for sure. It's easier to stick it out when you're on the podium every weekend. So yeah, I'm really happy for those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeaah, for several reasons. Uhm, Forrest India always did reasonably well in Back East. We did a number of podiums there, so it was always a very happy hunting ground. Uhm, I enjoy, really enjoy the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I enjoy the street circuit. It's really interesting dynamic of like the old time with the castle and then the big long streets at the end. So narrow at points around the castle. Exactly. It was one that was a new event, you know, in recent years. So there was always somewhere interesting to go in the city or somewhere, you know, a very interesting culture there as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I love races, it's a very selfish engineering point of view, but I love races where you can walk in and out of the track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you can have this sort of moment of calmness walking in and out in your own time, at your own speed. You get a feel for the wind conditions, the ambient, you know, all these things around you. So I did really enjoy it often as an event. So I thought, I thought it was really lovely to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at that. That's the Hot Ones difference Kevin Love. Because you not only nearly led the Lakers to a Little League World Series, but you also shared a roster with then 11 years old Klay Thompson. What do you remember about Klay Thompson, the teammate on the Little League field?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So today's meal, notwithstanding, I know that you take your diet very seriously. And in fact, your teammate Richard Jefferson once said that you eat like an 80 year old lady who's trying to make sure she's regular. Is that the most savage thing a teammate has ever said about your diet? Cause I've heard you say that you get teased about it often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in my book, you're not a bonafide NBA star until you start getting TV cameos and you check that box in a pretty big way early on when you did the entourage episode with Eminem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Three in. And then we know from the countless snaps and instagrams of your Cavalier's teammates that that locker room's really got its finger on the pulse of what's new and what's up and coming in hip hop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the next part of the show is a little thing we have called Explain That Gram. And what we do is we do a deep dive on our guest's Instagram. We pull interesting pictures that we think need more context. So I'll show you the picture and then you just tell me the bigger story. Does that sound good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show the pics right off the laptop. Alright, this first one's interesting. It's a little, uh, before they were famous with Kevin Love and Kevin Durant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I've heard you say that you get through road trips by binge watching movies, but I was a little bit surprised to learn that you have a special fondness for spaghetti westerns, and in particular, director Sergio Leone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I know that you're a huge Game of Thrones head. What other NBA players do you find yourself kinda talking to about the show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then after that, there's this great picture of you hugging LeBron that has been memed by the internet a million times over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Kevin, so this is Zombie Apocalypse. We're getting to where things get kinda serious over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as we've talked about already, you did pose nude for sports illustrate and you have a ton of spreads, which by resume has to make you like a legit top male model. What's your secret for how best to make love to the camera?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the key to staying loose during a shoot? Because, you know what people don't understand about shoots? Shoots can be exhausting. You know, nobody ever wants to cry for what I've done them. I've done a bunch of them. Like, I'm up on my feet for an hour, I feel like I've worked a full day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotcha. Chill, it's alright. What was Russell Westbrook's most annoying habit as a college roommate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Kevin, as you know, it's tradition around here to put a little dab on the last wing. You don't have to if you don't want to. Be careful, it's a little bit of a runny tap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good, that's good, that's good. Don't go crazy, don't go crazy, Kevin. Alright, Kevin. Cheers. Cheers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what's going on Hot Ones fans? If you liked the video, maybe meet us halfway. Throw us a subscribe. If you didn't like the video, don't subscribe. I don't want you. I don't want you in the tent. But if you liked the video, subscribe. Thank you very much. I appreciate you. I love you. More than a friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what's going on, everybody? For First We 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 Sixers big man, Joel Embiid. He's an NBA All-Star, a fan favorite in Philadelphia, and you can catch him on the cover of NBA Live 19, dropping this fall. But enough chit chat! How does he handle some of the hottest chicken wings on planet Earth? We'll find out today, JoJo. Welcome to the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as we've talked about, you've really thrown yourself into Philly life, hitting these playground courts and jogging on the street Rocky style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're on the cover of NBA Live, which also features cameos from Complex Anchors, and in last year's game, your player rating was an 88. What do you expect it to be this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your teammate TJ McConnell said that you talk the most crap ever and that he'll never play video games with you again. What do you remember about the afternoon where he almost threw a controller out of your apartment building window?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still feel confident that you'll get through this, no water, no milk?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2 Chainz has this reputation for being the best basketball player in hip hop. Does he live up to that reputation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you take that? Sometimes people have MJ stories where he's a little bit rough about the picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in 2012 you tweeted, Is that just the average cheat meal for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you remember the first time you tried Nutella? That always seems like it's a big moment for a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So outside of basketball, I know that your other great love is soccer. I've heard you say that if hoops hadn't swept you up, that maybe you'd play for the Cameroon national team. Would you say that you're the best soccer player in the NBA? Why not, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I've seen you cheering for Arsenal wearing a custom jersey from Chelsea and then shouting out Tottenham for supporting the process. What's the Premier League team that you root for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not trying to pry, but I am curious in the tactics. Why'd you think it was important to express your affection publicly rather than just slide in the DMs, which most people would do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know what? You've said so far every wing, it's light work, it's chill, it's no problem, so you should have no problem with that. But if you wanna switch, we can switch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're sending you home with a bottle of the last dap. If you were to prank any NBA player by spiking their meal, which NBA player would you just prank? Who doesn't like sp- that's all that's, eh, probably like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] J.J. Reddick. And then finally, a challenge for you. You know, you've impressed and wowed the internet time and time again with the sheer size of your hands. So I'm curious, how many of these bottles do you think you could palm at one time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold it up. He's got eight bottles. That's eight bottles nearly the table. I don't know if it's a record, but it might be. And now there's nothing left to do Joel Embiid. But roll out the red carpet for you my friend. This camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This camera. Or this camera. Let the people know what you have going on in your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aloha Spice Lords. If you're wondering why I'm sitting on this beautiful beach, it's because I'm celebrating Los Calientes, the sauce of summer and the newest addition to the Hot Ones Hot Sauce family. This is Beach Vibes in a Bottle. Sweet. Smokey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spicy. And I might be biased, but I think it's the best hot sauce we've ever made. And here's the exciting news. If you want to pick up a bottle, it's available now. You know the drill. Heatness.com. Heatness.com. For your bottle of Los Calientes. Los Calientes. Muy delicioso.


[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 state. 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] And you can see his number is pretty clear. 32, that's definitely the Jews. He's got his football helmet. I mean...


[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 gonna be 75, maybe be 80,000. Wow.


[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] These are pretty cool. The 49ers, they just dominated the 80s. I mean, in the course of 13 years, they won five Super Bowls. God, that's correct. The whole evolution of Super Bowl rings is pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL actually has rules on how you can make a Super Bowl ring. Your first Super Bowl ring can only be 10 karat gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well no, I can tell you right now this is a 100% genuine ring, but it's been sized by a really bad jeweler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion it brings it down a little bit just because you don't have the markings inside of it and people want to see that. The other ones are like pristine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you mind if I call someone and take a look at them? I have no problem with that at all. I'm gonna call in my sports guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And give his opinion, what do you think it's worth? No problem. Alright, I'll be right back. And one of these days, the Chargers are gonna get a ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bit, I don't get crazy. Like this is gonna be, all the comedic elements that you want is gonna happen. Look at me, I'm pasty as hell. You know, salt and pepper was about as hard as we went in our house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just couldn't get enough of this glitz and glamour, so I came back to tell you, if you want to buy some official Hot Ones merchandise, go to shop.firstwefeast.com. If you're lazy, you can just, uh, click one of these, uh, t-shirts down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Camera Guy Bill here saying, it's good to be Camera Guy Bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is the 2013 Pro Bowl jersey. So I believe that year the Patriots lost to the Ravens, uh, who went on to win the Super Bowl. Correct. 2013. So this is the Pro Bowl, uh, that would have been played the week before in Hawaii, of course. Uh, obviously Brady would have wore one he didn't attend the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I mean, what do you think? So they would have made three of these, uhm, each year for every player. Uh, the player would have bored one in the game if he did play in the game. And they would always have two alternates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is obviously not a, you know, replica jersey that's sold in stores. Uhm, it's got the quality. The tagging is all correct. Uhm, team issued, made by the league and authorized. They truly are living in addition. They're not making 300 of these. You can't buy them. So, you know, I like the jersey. Uhm, you know, it does have some value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, if it was game worn, uhm, in the Super Bowl, I mean, that's worth hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe even more. Certainly, this is not of that value. I think this is worth about $2,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's Boston for you, bro. Run y'all fade and we gon' talk about it later. If anybody gets stabbed, somebody go to jail. Other than that, we outta here and the meal was delicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got some pretty major people in here. We got President Eisenhower. Jackie Robinson, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly still the most famous Red Sox player almost of all time. So I see we have the letter as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from Steve Runnels. Pete Runnels was a pretty good ballplayer in his own right and a former teammate of Ted's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it says my father Pete Reynolds and Ted Williams were teammates. On June 29th, 1958, Ted Williams hit his 477th career home run. The ball was hit atop the roof in right field. That's a great story. My father acquired the baseball and he wrote the score and information about the home run on the ball and then had Ted Williams autograph the ball. Now, I'm


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm semi-familiar with this. You're not really going to see much on here. It's just mostly a faded signature, but you know, the thing you want is that and that, uhm, which is absolutely phenomenal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cy Young obviously, you know, really the greatest pitcher of all time. Two years after he died, they named the Cy Young Award after him. But the great thing about this, and I know the history about this piece, is this letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is tied indirectly to this. So this is Sayoung sending this to someone. And I don't know if you could ask for better provenance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have two great pieces here, Rick. These are museum quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first one, obviously, Sayong, just focusing on this, how incredibly rare it is. I could easily see this going for $200,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the baseball is really interesting, you know, and I love the letter. It ties it all in together. I put that value right at 65,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greatest basketball player of all time. You know, obviously being from Chicago, watching him grow up, and I was getting Michael Jordan's autograph when he was very young, all throughout his NBA career. There's really nobody at least better in my book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as I move along, the autograph is kind of seeped in here. And this is what you would expect with age would kind of bleed into the fabric. So that's kind of a good point here. Now the great characteristic about Jordan is that M.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's Michael, okay? And this is what I like to see, there's a slight tilt to it, but the flow, and he flows through, and we see this again with the J, the J comes through, and Jordan had this beautiful, flowing signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's really only one Jordan. The stuff, Rick, is just hot. And it's hot everywhere. It doesn't matter if it's in Chicago, overseas, Puerto Rico. There's no one more popular, I still think, in the game of basketball than Jordan. So we've seen some crazy auction prices. But I would put this right at about $135,000. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, these were issued exclusively for the 1963 Frank Sinatra Invitational Tournament. The whole timeframe of golf, you know, during the 50s and 60s, it was a really great time for the sport. I mean, we had Jack Nicholas, Arnold Palmer, and when those two guys got together, it gained national media exposure. And with media exposure came bigger purses and came bigger, you know, a lot more of attention to the sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freakin' putter. You very well could be. I mean, it was a very short list of the who's who of celebrities of golf and Hollywood. So, I mean, it could have been like Sammy Davis Jr., Jack Nicklaus. I mean, these were issued to the exclusive who's who's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1963 Frank Sinatra Invitational Tournament was actually a PGA sanctioned tournament. Old Blue Eyes put on this event. It was a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got everything you want to see on the head here, from the Sinatra caricature to the name, McGregor's who made, who made the putter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at the grip, the original grip was a black leather grip with a gold band going around circularly down the handle here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another thing you always look for, whenever you're looking at one of these, you always have to measure them just to be sure. So we want to see 35 and a quarter was the length that when McGregor made these. And if you look there, you get a rattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right after the Invitational, these putters were actually featured in newspapers and magazines, and when the public found out about them, they were raving. They wanted them, but nobody could buy one. You gotta remember, everybody at the event was either a somebody in Hollywood or, you know, an established golfer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had to wait around 30 years for these to finally come into the market. These were going for 20, $30,000 a piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank Sinatra was a known avid golfer during the 1950s and 60s. As the popularity of the sport was rising, his endorsement on the Invitational was a big success for the sport of golf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately these days as the market's kind of calmed down as well as Sinatra's fans, we've seen the prices dwindle over time. Are you still looking to sell it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen a few golf balls from different presidents over the years. They don't come up too often on the secondary market, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, the question is, why are Lyndon B. Johnson's initials on this? With presidential items, once you're in the White House, you get all sorts of cool freebies. Anything from glasses, you know, pens, and in this case, he obviously got some golf balls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on items I've seen from similar presidents like Richard Nixon around the same era, I'd probably put this right on... $500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you come across a piece that's this odd, I mean, people would think, why would you want someone's mouthpiece? Right. But this is a piece of history. And you said high school, this is his pre-NBA mouthpiece. This type of stuff is impossible to find. And that's where the value comes in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] King James is huge. One thing I love about him is that he recently gave $41 million to put a ton of kids through the University of Ohio at Akron. He's huge with his community. You know, he really cares to get these underprivileged kids through college. So did this come with any dental records?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is great. Just looking at the indentations on the mouth guard. King James. You definitely see the 23.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, the color, the placement, I mean, it's identical to the photo. And photo matching is everything with value. This is really a rare item. He's highly collected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is definitely King James mouth guard. With game use stuff, seeing what jerseys have gone for, you know, seeing what warmups have gone for. I know what I'd pay for it. So I'm going to put the retail value at five grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Bud, how you doing? Doing great, man. Good to see you. Big hookup, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be back guys. Arim Abdul-Jabbar, right in front of us. Yeah. Authenticating his stuff. Alright, so give me some prices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 75 MVP trophy. We're looking at about 225,000. We got the Game News Western Conference All-Star Jersey. Probably looking at about 100,000 to 125,000. The 87-88 championship ring. You're looking at a quarter million dollars. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say the least. Thanks man. Good luck. Thank you Dan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I like the way I look in this thing. And who knows, it might actually make a great trainer for me and my dad. So how much do you want for it, my man?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can honestly say I've never seen one of these in the shop before. But as cool as it is, antique medical equipment can be a tough sell. So I hope she's flexible on the price. Any idea what you're looking to get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's got, uh, Gale Saros and Brian Piccolo on it, right? Both of them. Uhm, those are pretty desirable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He died at the age of 26 and became a legend because of his story. Pair that with his friend Gale Sayers' signature and a bunch of other Hall of Famers, this thing can be worth a lot of money. So what'd you want to do with it, man? Sell it. Any particular amount you're looking for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, here are some of the concerns I have with it. We have a picture there, obviously, but we have absolutely no authentication for the ball. Do you mind if I give a buddy of mine a call? He can kind of appraise it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of signatures on this ball. Plus, I don't know what the price of that is because they're relatively famous players. Absolutely. And as we all know, Brian Piccolo isn't around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like the first mega superstar in basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how many pairs of those are out there? Kareem himself had only two pairs. That's pretty cool. And he wore those because he was so tall, people, you know, when they went up a block or whatever, like he would get stuck in the eye. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A game worn jersey is really, really cool, but an all-star jersey, that's just sort of like, that's a completely different thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're into basketball and if you just had this stuff right here, I think you're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take a close look. I just have to do this. Sure. I am now officially a better person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, yeaah, a little bit more than your standard ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I knew this was going to be amazing stuff, so I arranged for my sports guy Dan to be here, but can't get here until tomorrow. So can I come back tomorrow? Absolutely, I'll be here. I really feel like I should light a candle before I leave.

[Assistant] Good, I was just grabbing the ring out of the safe for you. Okay, you never get deceased. I mean like this is like the ultimate premium Abdul Jabbar stuff, period. I wanted Dan to check these out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a very big honor, I'm Dan. Pleasure. So this is your stuff? This is my stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we need to buy something. Cause that wasn't in the bucket list till now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has just been an absolutely amazing day. I bought Kareem Abdul Jabbar's goggles and I'm going to a Lakers game with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you wanna give Steve a call? Yeah, I'll be right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just need Steve to tell me if the combination of the suit and the signatures is worth what this guy's asking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You heard my guy, I could probably get 24. That's if I sold at retail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, I'm really excited we got the package for the suit. So, Drew Barrymore Award on the set of Charlie's Angels?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Give me an idea of what you're looking to get out of this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you do have the certificate of authenticity here with it, but I'm not really familiar with the COA, and even though you see the picture of her in the suit, I feel like I could just go out and buy one of these suits. I'll tell you what, man, I got a buddy of mine who will be here a little bit later today. Do you mind if I give you a call back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll let you know if I end up with it. Alright. Take care. See you soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Robert, how you doing? So I have my buddy come down and take a look at it. He definitely believes it is from the movie, so I do know it's authentic. He valued it at 800.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, that sounds good to me, my man. Uhm, I'll get your information and the checks in the mail, okay? Okay, sounds good. Thank you very much, my man. Have a good day. Hey, how's it going? Good!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He started playing soccer over there. He ended up being one of the top players in the Premier League, which, I mean, for an American that's a pretty far and few between. He is probably one of the most watched on the Chelsea team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so what are you looking to get out of it? About fifteen hundred. Okay, uhm, I'd like to have somebody come take a look at the signature. Do you mind? That's okay with me, yeaah. Alright, I'll be back with you, alright? Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hoping that the expert will get close to my asking price. I think that once he sees the framing and the signature, he's gonna agree with my price. So yea, this is it Steve. Oh cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really, really neat. Uhm, I know they started off as a serious basketball team in the 1920s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the stuff they did with the basketball was incredible. These guys would drop kick a basketball from half court and just swish it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though the Harlem Globetrotters are not in the NBA, they're still probably the most famous basketball team in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But since they're not a professional team, I have no clue on what this can sell for. How much did you want for it? Well, I was looking at a thousand bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can he take a look at it and maybe help us figure out the price?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well remember, what you see online, that's what they're asking. That's not what they're getting. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I have to resell the thing. I mean, I could go 200 bucks if you would take that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think she wears this in an undercover sequence. Have you guys looked through the suit at all? A little bit, but it just looks like a regular old suit to me. Yeah. Okay, so it's off the rack at Nordstrom's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do it all the time, they try to save money or time. Oh, look at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John David Rich typed Ms. Drew Barrymore. That's a good sign. So what that means is they bought the suit from Nordstrom, and then they probably, you know, tailored it. So right off the bat, that's looking really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any more information from the seller on this thing? Yea, have a seat. Check this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, look at that. I've never heard of them before. Oh yeaah. Now I know exactly who these people are. Uhm, that's great. I mean, after seeing those wonderful labels, and after having this, that's the real deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, the reality is, it's just a suit. When you first think of Charlie's Angels, Drew Barrymore, it's not what I would think of, but it's, it's a great ensemble, and the fact that there's all this great backup, I think, makes the piece even stronger. I'm thinking 800.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the way this whole game came about was that sports writers were looking for talent for the major leagues. So they'd go and watch kids playing stickball, they'd go and watch kids on the sandlot, and even though they had minor league teams, they thought, what the heck, they could go and put together this amateur, quote unquote, all-star game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, yeaah. You're talking 1945, a couple years before Ruth passed, but Esquire magazine sponsored the game, so I'm sure they had a little bit of money, and who better to manage the East and the West than the most famous baseball players alive, Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's interesting is that Babe Ruth's team from the East ended up beating Ty Cobb's team in the West 5-4. I'm actually really familiar with this because we had a baseball signed by Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth and the whole entire team. Wow, that's really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do you think this stuff could be worth? Can I take a look at it? Yeah, sure. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ty Cobb's autograph is really, really collectible. Yeaah. It's great to have the program. So, I think the collection as a whole would go for $3800.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously it's not the original Black Betsy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing is that I've never seen them. I know they're out there. I know they made kids models. They had them for Babe Ruth. They have them for baseball players now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem you get when you have stuff like this is that it seems like it'd be almost too easy to make a fake one. Any wood shop teacher in the world can make this bat. And it's not hard to age wood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, but I still have to sell it, and I still have to find someone that wants to buy it. Alright, so we're at 400, is that correct? Nah, I told you I'd pay you 300 for it, so you're asking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what can I help you with? I've got a Paul Newman race suit worn and signed by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. What I do know is that Paul Newman rarely signed his race suits. And I didn't even know this. I've owned this suit for five years. And I opened this up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also initiated the inside of the suit that he wore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Drew, how's it going? Good. See you, Rick. Well, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Bruce. The guys call me in when they have specific problems with autograph and memorabilia, and I'm the guy for the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he had a great history. Basically grew up in a boys' school, mainly because he was so unruly his parents couldn't handle him, you know. I think he was drafted when he was 16 or 17 years old. He had to be adopted to get into the league. And of course all the home runs, just a legend. Well, Babe Ruth is probably the biggest name for sports memorabilia. His autographs are extremely valuable. Let's take a closer look and see what we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's certain areas of Babe Ruth's signature that he always does. It's very consistent and those are the things you have to look for. We can see that there is a different ink being used for the word from and also the inscription at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that Beirut always did, he always wrote, is capital R larger, and it's capital B.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stem of the small case B is one of the tallest structures and that is occurring here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things the foragers always seem to miss is the epsilon E. It comes off the baseline and there's a sharp little angle to it. If you take all the evidence in its totality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this thing's definitely authentic all the way. Alright, that's cool, man. Sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well after looking at all the details of the signature, it's absolutely 1% authentic. However, if you look at the inscription on it, that was definitely written in later by somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I would recommend in a situation like this, because it's not a baseball card, I would cut off the bottom part. And it would look beautiful. Really? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2,000, 2,500 retail. Okay. Yeaah, that's about a fair price. Alright, thanks. Alright, thank you Rick. Take care guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Drew, what's going on, buddy? Hey guys, how you doing? Good to see you. The guys always call me down when they're suspicious about signatures or question documents, and they always want me to take a look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, what a scandal, probably the biggest one of baseball time, right? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the 1919 White Sox were involved in the big scandal where they got the nickname the Black Sox, uh, eight players got together to try to throw the World Series and they actually did. It's probably one of the darkest days in baseball history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well let's just concentrate on the two main signatures. I'm sure some of the other signatures are probably big leaguers too, but not ones I can recognize. We have in the middle here, appears to be Ray Shulk. Very odd, uh, K that he makes. He was considered the greatest catcher of his era. Red Faber right below it. Now he was one of their best pitchers and future Hall of Famer. Red Faber's signature is kind of like a printing style. It's simplistic. Well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These guys are huge names. In fact, because they're tied to the Black Sox scandal, that definitely keeps the value of the ball way up there. Condition of the ball is very good. I would have to put a price on it. Around $2,000. $2,000. Yes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy had a great career and I mean he's really literally one of the greatest running backs in the history of the NFL. Obviously not as great as Walter Payton, but he was up there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless you had a letter from the team or Tomlinson or a family member or somebody close to him, you know, I would just call it a jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The autograph, to me, is a really early version of a signature. This little curl in here he used, okay? This is kind of Tomlinson, what he would do, and it's almost the same thing I have here. He'd use this little curl at the beginning of a signature. Now, he started to change through the years, but the one consistent great thing about football players, what they do is they like to put their numbers. So that's usually pretty consistent. It's definitely authentic, Rick. But unfortunately, it's not that strong of a signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Tomlinson autographs, as you know, when someone's still alive, they're still accessible. He's good to the fans, he's always been a pretty good signer. So his autograph is plentiful. It's a nice jersey, but the condition of the signature does hurt the value overall. I put the value of this right at $200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Waiatido was a great quarterback in the 50s, early 60s. He made a guy through seven touchdowns in one game. There's only a few guys that have ever done that in NFL history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Retro football lately, and everybody loves the old guys. You know, talking about the Hall of Fame games, uh, I think the first class was 1963. They still have that tradition now, and they still play there, and the Hall of Fame thing's such a big deal. The Giants that year, I think, were 12 wins, 1962. That was about the end of Tittle's great run in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one thing I do want to do is look at a few examples of his signature. He kept things really simple. His T went under and then back over. Usually included his number, just depending on where he could put it. Everything matches up pretty well, so no question the signature's real. No. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About Tittle. He's been around a lot. It's funny how you look at the players of yesteryear. Great players. They sign a lot of autographs. Unfortunately, it doesn't carry a ton of value. But based on everything that's here, you've got a program with the ticket, the letter from the Hall of Fame, your story tying it all together, the signatures genuine. I think it's a pretty neat piece of football memorabilia. So, what do you think it's worth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you say for certain 100% that it came from that game? Well, your story's great. This stuff helps. It's still a leap of faith. And I'd still put that value right about $2,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good luck. Yeah, thanks. Nice piece. There are collectors that might want that. A Giants fan might want it. I could see someone that collects stuff from Hall of Fame games. Very limited audience though. Give me a number, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The autograph's a little bit faded but I think for a collector that it's a great piece to have. Today I'm hoping to get a thousand dollars for it. Now this is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have a problem with an expert coming in. I'm confident in the autograph and the jury itself. And uh, I'm excited to see what he has to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know from my buying and collecting of sports memorabilia, I'm pretty confident in the fact that it is a game issue jersey 2LT. I'm gonna stick with my asking price of a thousand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason why I'm selling this statue is because I have so much stuff at my house and I have no place for it. I'm asking for $125,000 for the statue and the way that I came up with that number is because of the value of O.J. Simpson and I know he's worth way more than $125,000 in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. So this was one of them. How did you get it? I got this piece from a radio show in Chicago called Man Cow. Yea, Man Cow. He's a DJ. Yea, man. We went to his show one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, man, you know, the reason why I wear this clock is because, you know, time is the most important element. And when we stop, time keeps going. Alright, Chumlee, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then luckily for him, he got in right at the right time. You know, before his era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the macho man when he wasn't beefing with Hulk Hogan. Is that what you want me to say, chum? I can tell. So how much are you looking to get out of it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, athletes, they made their living after they really couldn't compete anymore or anything like that signing autographs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What Hulk Hogan did for professional wrestling is pretty unheard of. Before this guy, it was bingo halls in small little stages to this guy selling out the Pontiac Silver Dome with over a hundred thousand people. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you have Ric Flair who was the super rich, arrogant, cocky, flamboyant guy who would throw sand in your eyes and hit you with a chair when you weren't looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, recent years, his fame has dropped, his autograph has dropped. I'll tell you what, I'll give you 75 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have this J. Honus Wagner autograph. Nice. A Honus Wagner? A Honus Wagner. I didn't even know who he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'd like to sell it because I'd like the money to go back to the thrift shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really excited to see if it's real. I'd love to get some money for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a couple Super Bowl pendants. Ooh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pendants are from Super Bowl I with Kansas City and Green Bay and Super Bowl II with Green Bay going against Oakland. I'm a big Packers fan, but I just want to sell the pendants because my wife and I are both retired and we can use a little extra cash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, uhm, 1966, that Super Bowl was played in L.A.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the funny thing about that one is that it was not a sellout. So they had to black out the game in LA because you needed a sellout at that time for them to show the game on TV. 1967 was held in Miami. But the 66 was in LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where'd you get him? Well, my dad owned a tavern in Milwaukee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1966, they played Kansas City, and there was a guy named Fred DeHammer Williamson, and he vowed that he was gonna take out a couple of the Packers with four-arm shivers. So not only did he only have three tackles, he didn't knock none of the Packers out, and he went out with a broken arm in the fourth quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told me that they might be worth a lot more than I'm asking, which I'm really excited about because the more money the better. Maybe we can go on vacation to Hawaii.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gave me fourteen hundred. I only wanted a thousand to start off with, so I like that. I'm gonna take that fourteen hundred, and my wife and I are gonna go to Hawaii on a trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is pretty cool. Kamala was a wrestler for the WWF. A lot of my friends love wrestling and they watched it with their kids growing up and now their kids aren't into wrestling anymore, but guess what? Dad still is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's now the WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, and it is just that entertainment. So this is Kamala, he was a wrestler in the 80s, portrayed by James Harris. He was supposed to be like this cannibalistic headhunter kind of guy, and he would come out with his mask and his spear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was considered to be a villain. Not the most popular of all wrestlers, but he got a chance to wrestle with some of the greatest wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, Andre the Giant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the cool thing about this is there's a moon on the belly, and that is originally how he would come out, but for production they put a star on his belly. They did. It's believed that this maybe would have been like an early pre-release kind of thing that accidentally got packaged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. It's a really nice piece. I mean, this is considered to be one of the holy grails for wrestling collectors. This is a piece that any collector would want to have for sure. And what are you looking to do with it? I would like to sell this. And how much are you looking to get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the condition of the box is, I don't want to call it beat up, but it's got like some issues with the glue kind of like, it started to separate, but I know these things go for a lot, even though it looks authentic to me, I need to have someone who knows what they're looking for come down and take a look at it. Fair enough. Give me a few minutes, I'll have someone write down. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'll be honest with you, even though I had those few questions in my mind, I literally had no doubt that this was real. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to make a deal this time, but I just hope you didn't pay too much for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a bad son of a gun, a willin' dillin' pawn shop machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, from one Hulk fan to another Hulk fan, that's a mega deal. I think you guys are both gonna be happy here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mankind and Dude Love are the same guy, Rick. Mick Foley. The most badass hardcore wrestler of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He first wrestled as Cactus Jack in 1986 in a pro wrestling circuit. And then in 1996, he came to the WWE and he rebrands himself into mankind. And he puts this mask on and he's just this really dark character. You would find him in the boiler room and he had this finishing move called the mandible claw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude Love was his wrestling character in high school. When Vince McMahon found out about the character Dude Love, he said, hey, let's try this. It's kind of like an alter ego thing, you know? He was mankind and now he's Dude Love, he's Cactus Jack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But each one of these characters was willing to take it further and farther than any other wrestler out there. I'm talking, he jumped off I think it was a 15 foot ladder onto a bed of thumbtacks in one wrestling match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the shirt looks a little bit different of a color than the one he would've wore in the ring. He wore one that was a little more blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, I think we all know this isn't the one that mankind would've wore, because he had his own hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I got someone who can come down and take a look at this. You know, someone who can look at signatures. Yeah, I know someone that could verify this signature. Okay. Can you hang out for a little bit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you doing, Rick? Mankind, aka Dude Love himself. Okay, I didn't recognize you without the mask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want to take a look at this signature right here? I thought it was really cool because it says have a nice day and I imagine you write that often but do you or is that a little special?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually have one more question. Okay. Well, it's kind of a request. Sure. Can you say it once for me? Can I say it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have a nice day! That's the one we love, Rick. That's the one we love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nope, I hope you liked the surprise. That was awesome. So, what do you think? About 200 for the pair? Yea, 200 for the pair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Millions of people every week now watch NFL games, but back in 1939, the league was still finding its footing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was your stepfather's name? Same as Joe Carter. Have to say I've never heard of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, if it were Joe Namath or something like that, it'd be, it'd be really easy. But you know, 1939 jacket, you know, you got me kind of stumped here. Mind if I call a buddy of mine in? You know, it's a pretty well-known sports shop here in town. If anybody could really give me a value on it, it's going to be him. Okay. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never give what the appraiser says it's worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, he did say there could be an upside to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. This thing is nice. This is a cash me out. This is like one of the holy grails of American coins. I'll do 95 and that's it. No, I don't think so. I think I'm gonna take it home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, program from Super Boat Number One Packers and Chiefs from 1967.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about I sell it right here to these people for 600 bucks? How about I have one of my security guards throw you out of my store?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll let it go for 5 on her, but that's, that's as low as I'll go. I'll go 200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll take it back home and I'll give it to my son and maybe in 30 years it'll be worth $255.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, how's it going? Hello there. What have we got here? I have a vintage WWE Dude Love shirt and a mankind mask signed by Mick Foley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hoping to get $200 for the mankind autographed mask and $300 for the vintage dude love shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a 1967 football signed by the Green Bay Packers team the year they won the first Super Bowl ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've come down to the pawn shop today to sell my 1967 signed football by the Green Bay Packers. My grandfather told me it was fine to sell the football, so here I am. I'm looking to get two to three thousand dollars, but I would probably go as low as fifteen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no. They signed a bunch of these balls and they gave them out to friends, family members, VIPs. I really like this football. It's a piece of American history, a piece of sports history, it's got a lot of famous players, it's got Lombardi signature, it's got it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little nervous, uh, one expert should have been enough, but uh, hopefully the signatures will be good. Drew, how's it going? Alright, good to see you again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this ring belonged to Toy Cook. You gotta look for the markings. Looks like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's true. But, uh, it looks like it's authentic. The Jeff Fuller ring from 1988. This is really, really nice. And this is Eric Wright. Very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are definitely genuine 49er Super Bowl rings. They have the right diamonds, they're yellow gold. It's really a great collection of three rings. So what do you think they're worth? Value-wise...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Superbowl rings are very highly collectible. 49ers, they pretty much own the 80s, so there's a lot of demand for 49er rings. Uhm, I think retail, they're probably in the range of about 20,000 a ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They used to be a lot more, but, you know, that's about what they're commanding these days. Okay, well thanks for coming in. You're welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think these rings are a great buy for the shop if you can get them at the right price because there's so much demand and there's a great presence when you have that type of eye candy in that store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody knows about Wayne Gretzky. Mind if I take a look for it? Be my guest, be my guest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to actually sell this, I'm probably gonna have to take out ads somewhere and let people know I have it for sale. July 18th?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This thing is nice. This is a Kiss Me Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like one of the holy grails of American coins. I'll do 95 and that's it. No, I don't think so. I think I'm gonna take it home.

[Assistant] I got a Ryan Newman fire suit. I believe it's from 2002, 2003. Do you wear this thing driving around town? No.

[Assistant] Yeaah, but this ain't Dale Earnhardt.

[Assistant] Guys offered me $400, I was able to negotiate $450. I didn't pay anything for it, so it's a win-win for me. It's a good day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's certainly still the most famous Red Sox player almost of all time. So I see we have the letter as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from Steve Runnels. Pete Runnels was a pretty good ballplayer in his own right and former teammate of Ted's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it says my father Pete Reynolds and Ted Williams were teammates. On June 29th, 1958, Ted Williams hit his 477th career home run. The ball was hit atop the roof in right field. That's a great story. My father acquired the baseball and he wrote the score and information about the home run on the ball and then had Ted Williams autograph the ball. Now I'm

[Assistant] You're not really going to see much on here. It's just mostly a faded signature, but you know, the thing you want is that and that, uhm, which is absolutely phenomenal.

[Assistant] Cy Young obviously, you know, really the greatest pitcher of all time. Two years after he died, they named the Cy Young Award after him. But the great thing about this, and I know the history about this piece, is this letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is tied indirectly to this. So this is Psyyoung sending this to someone. And I don't know if you could ask for better provenance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have two great pieces here, Rick. These are museum quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first one, obviously, Sayong, just focusing on this, how incredibly rare it is. I could easily see this going for $200,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the ball? So the baseball is really interesting, you know, and I love the letter, it ties it all in together. I put that value right at 65,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first one, obviously what I'm looking at is more of a paint pen type on here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely overlaps, uhm, so there's no question about that being on the bat. Uh, the second one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, and the same could kinda be said for that. I'm seeing the impression. Alright. Joel Sewell had a really nice signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what I'm starting to see on here. He just kept it basic throughout his whole life. And I'm seeing that here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm seeing that here, and finally seeing that up here, everything matches perfect. Awesome, man. Yeaah, so no issues there. Signatures are authentic, what do you think it's worth? I can tell you Joel's too autographed, generally speaking. He's not much in demand. Still a good autograph, but he's not really sought after. You know, $100, $150.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously the complexion changes when you have it on a bat like this, but still that's kind of out of my department. Autographs good, no problem there. Not a real high value signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I understand that there's a whole other aspect to it in terms of a game used bat and whose bat was it. I really don't deal in that stuff too much. I'm just basing my value on just the autograph alone.

[Assistant] Well, you know the great thing about the Dodgers, they had all those great players in the 50s, and then they left Brooklyn behind. I mean, they still brought a lot of guys out west with them, but that move signaled the end of kind of that era.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you had guys like Sandy Koufax. The great thing about Koufax, from 55 through almost 60, Sandy Koufax's numbers were pedestrian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had his great time from 61 to 66. But when you think of Brooklyn Dodgers, everybody thinks of Sandy Koufax. Guy was such an amazing pitcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the 1959 Dodgers were the World Series champion and it was really significant for them because it was their second year in LA and he had these players sitting at, you know, picnic benches in the clubhouse before games signing baseball after baseball after baseball. It really became a big thing and collectors loved having him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the first guy I want to look at, Sandy Koufax. I mean, he's the main guy for those Dodger teams. He kind of rolled off his letters, as you could see here. He had a great way of finishing it off with his X that kind of dropped down. Uhm, the next guy I'd like to look at, and that's the great Don Drysdale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great thing about Dry's Out, I always look for it, pinpoint to one thing, is he dropped his S-None in his last name. And I keep looking at that, and I look at those two things. So what do you think? You know, after seeing the players I just pulled up here, uhm, there's no question the signatures are authentic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the next thing I want to do, I start looking at the players. Don Newcomb, Rube Walker, uh, there's Ed Robock on the bottom and Ken Layman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kinda odd. Now that's, that's one signature I have to pause at. But Ken Lehman was a guy that wasn't part of that 50-19.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a 59 World Series ball. If I had to guess, probably like a 57 ball. And unfortunately, Thayn won a World Series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The seller didn't like my appraisal of the ball. We signed it a reunion show. Does it have appeal? Yes, but it's very limited.
