[Assistant] Four quarter, last two minutes. Gotta get a bucket. Who do they go to? Joel Embiid, The Possess. Is he gonna come out on top or not? Let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I feel like it, I feel like I should teach him a lesson and that's why I stop by and I do my thing and then I leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too hard. I was there for like five minutes and he was like really going at me. He was calling the ball and then I was like, you don't want to get me started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an emotional night, you know, him coming out of jail and us being in an important playoff game to close it out at home. I thought it was a great setup. We enjoyed having him and celebrating him getting out of jail and I had a lot of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you gotta believe that I'm gonna be at least a 95. A 95. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even on the court, he just gets mad about anything. I'm like, dude, just calm down. And that day, it wasn't a good day for him, but it was really bad. I can understand his frustration because I'm that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was in New Orleans, uh, my first All-Star, so, and then just happened to be at a party and, uh, you know, I met, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who they consider the GOAT, uh, and he has a pretty good resume to be the GOAT, so I feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a great idea to, you know, snap, you know, take a picture with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to eat a lot, but I could never put on some weight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then as soon as I got to the state, uh, I was still eating a lot, so, 10 cheeseburgers. Back in the day, it was definitely a regular night for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if there was money on the line, I could definitely eat more than 15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uhm, it was good, yeaah. I love soccer. That's why we call it football. That's the world of football. So, that's the, that was my first love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arsenal. I'm a gunner. My favourite team overall is Real Madrid. But in every league, I have a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't slide in DMs. Uhm, something that I've always been scared off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm a jokester. The whole thing with Rihanna is all fun. Uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, really fast. You gotta understand them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was the hardest one? I think this one was the hardest one. I mean, first of all, that's a dumbass name. Fearful. I can't really think straight right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This piece right here sat by his poolside. So yo, the reason why I brought this here to you is because I know


[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] Yeah, I think I'll make better at auction then, man.


[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] How's it going? How you doing? Alright. I got something I think you're really gonna like. Three player Super Bowl rings from the greatest dynasty to play football, the San Francisco 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is from their first Super Bowl ring in 1981. This is really, really cool. Super Bowl 29? This is the one where they beat the Chargers? That is the one where they destroyed the Chargers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here at the pawn shop today to sell three player Super Bowl rings from the San Francisco 49ers. I'm looking to get $37,500 for each Super Bowl ring or $112,500 for all three. If I end up selling the rings today, I'm probably going to take the money and put it right back in and buy some more 49ers memorabilia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just collect them from different collectors? You get them from the players? Different collectors, conventions, not directly from the players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The players I've never really heard of. Really? Eric Wright, the starting cornerback for four Super Bowls, you've never heard of him? Okay, and Cook? Toy Cook had interception in the game, and Jeff Fuller's pretty well known as well. These were starters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a good one, man. If you change your mind, call me. No problem, I appreciate it. Thank you. I was hoping to make a deal, but I would not accept anywhere near that. I'll take my rings and display them at my office till I get a better offer that's more commensurate with what they're worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Big Hoss, got a new pinky ring for ya. Where years it from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I didn't get any paperwork. I actually got these boots at a charity auction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm looking to get rid of him today. And how much are you looking to get for him? Uhm, you know, I'm looking to get about 6,000 for him today. Would you take 2,000? Absolutely not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what are you looking to get out of it? I'm thinking like 4,000. Okay, uhm, do you mind if I have a buddy of mine, he's my sports guy, come down and take a look at it, he can kind of put a value on it for me? Sure. Okay, well hang out, let me give him a call, see if I can get him down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you doing? Pretty good, what can I do for you today? Okay, you got a good group of Hall of Famers here. Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, and Jackie Robinson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. So the cool thing about this is these are 1949 Leaf cards. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are some of the most sought after names in baseball card collecting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you do 15? Would you do 14 on him? 14-5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So about two years ago, we were going through my grandfather's things and we actually found this in a big box of things. And he passed away about 15 years ago and we've had it and had no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mind if I take it out? No, not at all, please. Yeah, this is the quintessential


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lo and behold, they came back from being zero and three in the series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the ring is awesome. This is the greatest comeback in history, 2004. All the diamonds are real. And they made it out of 18 karat. That's rare for a sports ring. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have one huge problem with this ring. And that is what? That it's a Brandon Puppet ring. And this guy has quite the reputation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right there, that is going to take the value to the spring to less than, less than I would ever pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, I don't know if- Yea, it gets out in 2014. You know buddy, at the end of the day, if this had anybody else's name on it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thing starts off here, and we kinda see the same thing here. And he just kinda goes into this big mess here. And it looks like he either came off it, uh, strangely, or just signed it abruptly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matches up pretty good to the exemplars. It's a little sloppier version. I really don't have a problem with the signature though. You think it's okay upside down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, thank you. Good seeing you, bro. Take care. You too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just based on the fact that Lebron's so popular, uhm, people really like that guy. And the chances of you getting a signature are pretty low. And I think that thing would fly off the shelf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what can I help you with? I'm looking to sell my 1990s Atlanta Braves World Series rings. You a Braves fan? Tigers, actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to come down to the pawn shop today to try and sell my collection of 90's Atlanta Braves championship rings. They're all from the exact same staff member. I'm looking to sell them for upwards of 48,000. So, where did you get these?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so how much are you looking to get out of this? I'm looking to get about $42,000 to $45,000. Or not even close. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So 20,000 total is everything that you can offer? Yes. Is there any way you could say get to like 30, 31,000? I'd go like 22, 22,000 total.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what do you got here? We got a AccuFlex driver shaft that was designed for President Bill Clinton. Has the presidential seal right here. Oh, like golf? Yea, golf driver shaft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here to sell my AccuFlex golf shaft that was designed for President Bill Clinton. I bought it here locally as a part of a private collection and I'm looking for $1,100. If I sell this shaft today, I'm just going to take that money and invest it back into my business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, more for a collector, maybe Collect Spheal Clean, Memorabilia, and uh, other ones have gone for up to $10,000 to $12,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no doubt in my mind that this was designed for President Bill Clinton and has a presidential seal. I'll get the money I'm looking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you really willing to take? The lowest I would like to take is about $600. We're pretty far apart. I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for $100 I'd really rather just go put it back in my store and see what I can get for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, we've got some really cool stuff, but the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar collection is what you came to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My auction house is one of the world's largest sports collectible auction houses and we have the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar collection. All of these items are scheduled to go to auction, however, we've set some items aside and if something can be worked out, he can get them and they will never hit the auction block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you look at what else he's accomplished. Actor, civil rights, writer. Also, you know, philanthropies, uh, has a foundation. Skyhook, and that's one of the reasons why he's doing this, is to help his Skyhook Foundation. Okay. So, let me show you what we got. This is the official NBA Most Valuable Player award.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1975-76, he led the league with 17 rebounds a game, had one of his best ever seasons. Yeah, this is his first season with the Lakers. That is correct, yep. So he went to a new team, certainly earned his money. Those are his goggles? These are his iconic goggles, correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think somebody jumping up to try and get a ball, you know, some of these centers back when he played might have been six foot eight. And he was seven foot two, so he was taller than them. They went to reach and poked him in the eye. That, that protected him. Are these prescription? No, they are just normal. Try them on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His 1979 All-Star game jersey comes directly from Kareem, and you can even see in here, you know, you see the dirt from, you know, from the playing use, and it's unwashed. Sorry about that, but that's the way people like it, and it's just a remarkable piece of basketball history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, they had to make the off-star game, they had to play in the off-star game, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Wanaki, let me bring it to you. How about that? It's very unique and it's part of his Lakers dynasty. Okay. Okay, let me go grab it from the stage. I'm intrigued. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the 1987-88 Los Angeles Lakers ring presented to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It's a back to back ring and it is the final championship that he won in his NBA career. Can I touch it? Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what we're doing is we are helping Kareem, uh, raise money for his charity. For the trophy, we would expect it to go for around, uhm, $300,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on the ring, we would be looking for 375,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, I mean, that's wonderful, and I don't want to trump Dan, but as far as authenticity goes, let me do you one better. I'll be right back if you don't mind. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate it. Good seeing you again. So, how much should we take for the goggles? We're looking to get at $40,000. Are you 15 grand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't take 15 grand. I'm trying to, uh, help Kareem out. You met him in person. I know, I know, I know. I can go down to 35,000 for you. I'll give you 20 grand. 27.5. 22. Tell you what. Agree at 25,000. Don't counter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will get you the tickets to go with him to a Lakers game this season and see the Lakers with Kareem and watch LeBron James play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this one right here, this is a picture of the NFC Championship game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that Prova, that's, uh, that's a really cool company because that's owned by Embedded Spend, right? Yes it is, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what you guys have here? So the seat back, I mean, it's got the Prova sticker on the front. So I know that's legit. I know that's your signature. And I'm 99% sure this is your signature right here, but like, there's no paperwork with your signature, sticker, nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're officially the coolest boss ever. Just about your only boss ever. I mean, you've had like one other job besides me. And that used to be my favorite boss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both his parents played college soccer and then his mom threw like a teacher's exchange program. Brought him uh, with her over to England and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you heard what Steve had to say about it, and I, I gotta agree with him. I mean, it is cool, I mean, it makes me wanna be a soccer fan, I'll tell you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A game-used jersey for Michael Jordan. And autographed across the front with a certificate of authenticity from the Chicago Bulls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a game used jersey signed by Michael Jordan. I've been buying and selling autographs and memorabilia's my entire life. I got this jersey many years ago at one of the Chicago Bulls charity auctions. I'm asking $150,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is very cool. And I guess you want to sell this thing? If the price is right, it'll leave my possession. It's a really unique thing. 1996-97 season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is identified by the gold NBA logo on the front of the jersey. They only wore that in the NBA's 50th anniversary season. If you look at the back of the jersey, the way the name and number is set up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The jerseys they sold in the store, the numbers were further down. The way the bulls did them, it was really unique how they're higher up. So there was a difference between everything else. Michael Jordan, he was the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Graz is gonna look at this jersey and know the autograph is fine. It came right from the Chicago Bulls. There isn't anywhere better to get a Michael Jordan's autograph except having Michael Jordan himself sign it for you. Steve, look at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'll give you 90 grand. Okay, I'm, no way I'm gonna be able to take that low for this jersey. So what would you take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you sir. I'm gonna take the jersey and put it back in the safe at home now. One day I'll get a price that makes me happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, otherwise known as Golden Arms. He was MVP for a lot of years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why the Super Bowl Trophy is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy, it's because of this guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I love these figures right here, uh, the 1959 championship playoff. Each winning player's share, $4600.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was definitely a different world back then. These guys did not make a lot of money. I mean, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wouldn't shock me if that's all Johnny United's made back then. Probably. I don't think he even made that much. Professional football became more and more popular in the 1950s and 60s because games began to be televised. And today, football is absolutely huge in the United States. And that means big business for anything NFL related. But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More or less the same game, a little different. They used to rush a lot more back then. A lot less throwing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the little poses they did. Those are action shots I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that the helmets weren't any good back then. Most of them didn't even have a face protector on them. These were some top, top guys. See? No face protector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This NFL yearbook is a cool slice of sports history. Sports memorabilia is one of our best sellers. And football fans are always looking for items that are a blast from the past. No doubt it would be a quick sell. I can already think of a few customers that would love to buy this. So how much are you looking to get out of it? I'm looking for like, uh, $50. Okay. I mean, I don't mean to beat up on you, but it's a little rough shape. Well, it came out of the archives of my basement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 53 years old, what do we expect? I'm assuming these were sold in just about every stadium?


[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. You got it. 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] I mean, if you look at the original Super Bowl rings, they're more or less glorified class rings, and they slowly got gaudier and gaudier over the years, and uh,


[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] And, give his opinion, what do you think it's worth? No problem. Alright, I'll be right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Vince Lynn Barty Trophy has been awarded to every team that's won the Super Bowl since 1970. It's made by Tiffany, and unlike the Stanley Cup, they make a new one every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While this isn't the actual trophy, it's still a limited edition of football's highest prize, and it was only given to members of the Rams organization who won the Super Bowl. It's pretty damn cool. So what do you want to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But obviously it's not. We're pretty far apart on the price. Okay, well what's your price? 2,500 bucks. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really cool piece, but I would pay 2500 bucks for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was real close. I grew up in San Diego. I will never like the Patriots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As much as I hate to admit it, the New England Patriots have been pretty badass for the past decade. They actually won the Super Bowl three out of four times. Only the second team in history ever to achieve that level of dominance. Okay, do you mind if I take a good look at it? Take your time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just really, really don't like this Jostens mark inside it. What's a Jostens mark? Uh, Jostens is the company that made a lot of the Super Bowl rings. Well, maybe there's two different marks. No, I mean, this one looks hand engraved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jeff, bring me my Patriots ring. I'm sort of a nut for championship rings. I have a habit of buying them and never selling them. And with my collection, I have other Super Bowl rings I can compare all the markings with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is precision machine engraving inside of it. Every Super Bowl ring I've ever had that was made by Jostens is engraved like that. This looks like it's in sloppy hand engraving. I mean, the workmanship and everything looks wonderful, but that has got me so concerned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this Super Bowl ring is the real McCoy, it's worth tens of thousands of dollars. But a hand engraved manufacturer's mark just doesn't seem right to me. So there's no way I'm making an offer until I can have this thing authenticated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how much were you looking to get out of it? I was in the mid to low twenties. Alright, I'm gonna have to get somebody in here because it just doesn't look right. I want to do a little bit more research. So we'll get this thing figured out. Cool. Okay, cool. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do we have for me today? We have a 04 Patriots ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I put out that kind of money. I might sit on it, have to sit on this thing two, three years. So I'm an 18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because I need a Super Bowl ring for every one of my fingers. Deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, write him up, chum. The guy was definitely a tough negotiator, but I'll still make good money on this ring. With the price I can sell this ring for, I think I had a pretty good day's work. Hey Pops, what do you think? Another Super Bowl ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. Hey, how's it going? Hey, good. How are you? Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lydadian, Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers, LT, The Lightning and the Thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy was unbelievable. And the Chargers still couldn't make it to the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a huge Chargers fan ever since I was a little kid. Matter of fact, I grew up right down the street from the stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LT really was arguably one of the best running backs in the history of the NFL. Broke so many records, I think back in 03. He did things that people thought were not possible. I mean, for a running back to get 28 touchdowns in one season, in a regular season, it's just insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was only one of seven guys in the entire history of the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not a normal jersey. This looks like it was definitely custom made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no idea if that's LaDani and Tomlinson's signature. How much you want for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe he'll know a little bit more about this jersey because like I said, it's not a consumer jersey. I think it's a big league one, but I don't think it was ever played in. So there's a few questions I got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, so do you think this is actually an officially issued jersey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually the balls of the sold have just fallen apart, sort of like the bears usually do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know anything about the 42 Bear? What? I recognize Sid Luckman. Quarterback in the biggest blowout in NFL history. 70 something to nothing? Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the first two Super Bowls. The Super Bowl is the biggest television event, period. It's just insane, the Super Bowl. I mean, I mean the bad seats are 500 bucks. And I hate people who watch it just for the commercials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1966, 1967, Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arguably the greatest football coach in the history of the world, and to this day, that's what the Super Bowl Trophy is called. It's not called the Super Bowl Trophy, it's called the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like these. I could be wrong, but I think you have like a home run here. Where were these Super Bowls? Remember, in 1966 and 67, I was 1 and 2, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given, like, the staff members, or the wives, or the players, or something like that? And they're gold, right? They're gold. I believe they're 10 karat, but I'm not sure. Uhm, wouldn't surprise me, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The company that made these is probably the same company that made the Super Bowl rings themselves. It's class ring companies that do it. 10 karat gold became the medal of choice for Jostens and other class ring companies because it was cheaper than 14 karat gold and a lot more durable, which makes sense because these are wearable trophies and they wanted the last and look good for later generations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was definitely a different game back then. I mean, now today they talk about all those bounties and all this stuff. Oh no, they announced like bounties and stuff like that. I mean, if you got injured back then, it just wasn't the medical science to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, get you better. I mean, there was no reconstructive surgery. There's, you know, hey dude, we'll get it so you can walk. I mean, that's about what it was. So what do you want to do with them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he's dealt in sports memorabilia his whole life. That's all he does. He lives and breathes this stuff. So he will know about it. So hang out for a little bit and uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Super Bowl, the whole term Super Bowl came from someone at the NFL, their kid was playing with a Super Ball, you know, the rubber Super Balls, and he goes, Super Bowl. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and uh, these are pendants. I think these were given up to like women's staff or like the players' wives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, that stone's been, that's definitely reset. That's not the original, the original prongs are more or less broken off or worn off, so what they do is they take it, it's called a graver, and you would,

[Assistant] Push the gold over onto the stone. So that's definitely been replaced. It doesn't have a factory prongs there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right around the teens or the twenties, the helmets became optional. It was much more brutal than today. A lot less rules. Literally in one year in college ball, 12 people died. So it eventually became mandatory. And believe it or not, when they first came out, you went to a shoemaker to get your helmet made. I believe it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they first came out, they didn't have the holes for the ears. So guys hated them because you couldn't hear anything with them. This is just like a thick hat. The neat thing is, is most of these were tossed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, I mean, it's not associated with a player or a team or anything else like that. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, playbooks from the 66 Dolphins. Let's not NFL, let's ASL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Football has been played professionally in the US for a long time. I think since 1920, and now it's one of the most popular sports we have. Some people think it's just a bunch of big guys tackling each other. There's actually a ton of strategy involved. So huge playbooks like this are a big part of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dinner, six dollars. Breakfast, two dollars. I mean, they literally got paid next to nothing. Especially for what they did to their bodies. I mean, it just goes to show the difference between football in the 1960s and football today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Americans love football. I heard at least two-thirds of the American population watch at least one game a year. That's crazy to think about. So it's pretty safe to say there's a market for this kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know why I'm going that high. 260? 250 bucks. They are gonna sit for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. 1967. This is Super Bowl I. And just that this is from the very first one is really cool. Who played? Green pay Packers and the Chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Super Bowl started off as a way for the champions of the two big football leagues to figure out who was really number one. And that's how we got the National Holiday Super Bowl Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vince Lombardi is considered one of the greatest football coaches of all time. His signature alone makes me want to buy this thing on the spot. And having all the other 67 Packers on there too, could make this a real jackpot. But I do have a few concerns. What'd you want to do with it? I'd like to sell it. How much you want for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me get my one buddy down here to just look at it and tell me what it's worth and uhm, maybe also another guy down here to verify the signatures. Sounds good. Alright, I'll be right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This football's pretty cool. It's got some amazing autographs. If it all checks out, collectors will be all over it. Jeremy, what's going on man? What's going on guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do we have today? This guy has a football, apparently signed by the Green Bay Packers. Supposedly the Super Bowl championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna lie, I'm disappointed. I'm gonna get someone in here to verify the signatures, and uhm, maybe we can do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Green Bay Packers? Uh, Green Bay Packers. I need to know if these signatures are real. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, alright. So what is a stamped football worth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, thanks for crushing the dreams of everybody here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew I recognized that sound. I remember having one of these like 35 years ago. I mean just imagine your coolest video game today. This was it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They gave away a treasure. This is really cool. Mattel came out with this I think in 1977, 1978. I remember getting one when I was like 13 years old. I mean, this was literally like the first fun handheld video game. I mean, there was a few other handheld video games, but they all suck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't even get past the first level. Oh, it's, no, there's not a first level, dude. Look. Now you have the bright red LED, that's the runner, and you got five light red LEDs. Those are the defenders. And basically you just have to keep on running and running and running and avoiding them. So you get a touchdown. And that's fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 90? Uhm, I mean it's cool, I mean there's people who collect these, they mean a lot to guys like my age, but the problem is, you know, tons of them are made. How about 25 bucks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I really shouldn't do this, but 45 bucks. Go right ahead, Sean. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, otherwise known as Golden Arms. He was MVP for a lot of years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why the Super Bowl Trophy is called the Vince Lombardi Trophy is because of this guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I love these figures right here. The 1959 championship playoff. Each winning player's share, $4,600.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was definitely a different world back then. These guys did not make a lot of money. I mean, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wouldn't shock me if that's all Johnny United's made back then. Probably. I don't think he even made that much. Professional football became more and more popular in the 1950s and 60s because games began to be televised. And today, football is absolutely huge in the United States. And that means big business for anything NFL related. But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the little poses they did. Those are action shots, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that the helmets weren't any good back then. Most of them didn't even have a face protector on them. These were some top, top guys. See? No face protector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This NFL yearbook is a cool slice of sports history. Sports memorabilia is one of our best sellers. And football fans are always looking for items that are a blast from the past. No doubt it would be a quick sell. I can already think of a few customers that would love to buy this. So how much are you looking to get out of it? I'm looking for like, uh, $50. Okay. I mean, I don't mean to beat up on you, but it's a little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 53 years old, what do we expect? I'm assuming these were sold in just about every stadium?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And probably for most of the season, so, I mean your problem is it's not worth a lot of money. I'd give you like 20 bucks for it. I mean, I literally think I can get like 40 dollars out of it, that's it. How about 35?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Period. And I know there's a million people that argue with me, but I really don't care. I grew up in San Diego.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I grew up right down the street from the stadium. He was my idol as a kid. I mean, he really was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and my friends, we weren't the best of kids in the world, okay? Me and my buddy, we had a paper route.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I think, 13 or 14 years old and he was cool to me and I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is one blobby signature. If you didn't know who Dan Pounce was, would you be able to read that? I know it's real. How much you want for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like someone to look at it. I got a buddy who works right down the street. He's got a sports shop. Let me get him down here real quick. He'll look at the signature. If it's legit, we'll talk price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rick, what's going on man? I'm just living the dream, looking at like the greatest quarterback there ever was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yea, a lot of my buddies say what's the smallest building in the world that charges Hall of Fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I disagree, but I'll give you 150 bucks. That's what it's worth. I want it for myself, but, uh, that's what I could give you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just brings back a lot of memories. So, if you want 150, I'll give you 150. And I never pay people what it's worth. Yeaah, just... Think about it. No one's gonna pay you more. I guarantee you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the halftime on this one was Shania Twain, Sting, and no doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Super Bowl 37. You were probably barely bored then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, I mean, it was held in San Diego. You know, every Superbowl is a big deal. Okay. People always buy tons of merch and people start up like, Hey, if I get it, I keep all the tags on it, it'd be worth a whole lot of money one day. Cause people collect this and it's like bucket hat, which is an old man hat. I know they were popular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it does have the tags on it, never used. I'll give you 25 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only 17 years old. Well, I'll probably get 50 bucks out of it, but not much more than that. I'll give you 30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to come to the pawn shop today to try to sell my hockey stick signed by the 1980 Miracle on Ice Olympic hockey team. It is a one of a kind, very unique item. I wouldn't take less than $5,000 for it today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sure can. Alright, thanks. Alright, great. Thank you. Hey, thanks a lot for coming down. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not concerned about the expert coming to take a look at the stick to authenticate it. I'm positive it's 100% authentic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not exactly sure why he signed this ball. And that's one of the reasons that I'm trying to see what I can get for it. Super Bowl 31 was won by the Green Bay Packers. And as a Chicago Bears fan, there's no way in good conscience I could keep this in my house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am a huge Bears fan lifelong. Similar balls have gone for $4,000. This is a little bit of a different situation. It being Super Bowl 31, he wasn't in that Super Bowl, but the Packers won and everybody knows that Bears fans and Packers fans do not get along.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, where'd you get it? My mom recently moved out of her house, and in the course of packing her up, I found this ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, so was your mom a Walter Payton fan or? I asked her about it and she doesn't seem to remember exactly where she got it, but she remembers bidding on some sports memorabilia at a charity auction several years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much are you looking to get out of it? Well, this type of ball I've done a little bit of research. I'd be willing to part with this one for about $2,500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll meet you over there, alright? I would have liked to have gotten a little bit more, but I'm gonna go to the casino tonight, go to the roulette table, and put it all on Walter Payton's number 34.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one heck of a collection. Let's tell me all about these. These are called PM10 Stadium Pinbacks, and these would have been sold outside the stadiums probably in the late 40s to the mid part of the 60s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm rooting for Jackie Robinson and I'm for Jackie. This would have been obviously during the integration of baseball when Jackie broke the color barrier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in the late part of the 40s, the integration of baseball was a huge and very controversial topic. There's a lot of people who are for it and just about as many who are against it. What do you think all this is worth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now as far as value goes, these two right here are really neat. As a pair, easily about 600 bucks. The Babe Ruth pin, about another 250.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of value in these and as a collection they certainly do add up. So what do you think the whole thing's worth? As a collection here, given the condition and the variety and the rarity of some of these,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $2500 all day. Okay. That sounds a little low to me. Being as rare as some of these are, it's almost as rare to find a buyer for them these days. Thanks man. Hey, you bet Rick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are quite a bit of pins in this collection, but just because there's a lot of them doesn't necessarily mean the value's there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, what do we got there? Got some pretty cool sports autographs here for ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Okay, that's in all the boxes, everything. It's like every autograph from every sport or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking to sell my 1995 action packed autographed basketball cards. I got the cards out of the storage unit here in Las Vegas. Didn't know what I came into. Did some research and it's an unbelievable collection. For the whole lot, I'm looking to get 120,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I went into the storage unit there was about 70 or so of all four of these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These were cards that were redemption. So when you would open the packs, they would have a redemption saying, hey, uh, you're, you're going to get a Bill Bradley autograph, send it in and we'll send it to you. So the only way you were getting them is from action pack directly. Well, action packed went out of business and a lot of these cards didn't get out, including all four of these. So there's no one even knows these cards exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are these graded? They're just authenticated. So, we have an anomaly. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how much you want for these? Uhm, in total, all 507 cards. I'm looking to get 120,000 for them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel, it's a headache, it's a project, uhm, I don't really want to be tied into them for as long and, and you're willing to do the work, so you know what, I'll do that 25, you got a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, how you doing? Good. How about you? Going good. What do we got? I got the game ball from the first Pro Football Hall of Fame game played in Canton, Ohio. It starts off the season every year. This is the program from the 1962 Hall of Fame. Okay. And this is my ticket stub to get in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came down to the pawn shop today to sell my football from the 1962 First Pro Football Hall of Fame game played in Canton, Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's signed by YA Tittle. I got the ball signed in 1999 when YA Tittle come to Canton, Ohio. I'd like to sell this ball for $4,000 today because $4,000 is a lot of money and I could use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I come up with the ball out of there. That's awesome, man. That's a really good story. So how'd you get him to sign it? He came to the Hall of Fame for an autograph session and I brought the ball and had him sign it because it came off his fingertips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely a cool story. What do you got here? In 99, when he signed the ball, this was our local newspaper article. My last name's Lombardi. Lombardi's big catch has signature with it though, okay. Yes sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually looking to sell it. I've had it for 52 years. I know the Hall of Fame would like to have this ball. I brought it in there and they'd ask me to donate it to them. Yeah, I wouldn't want to donate it either. But I'm looking to sell it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure that it's the signature. If he wants to get the signature checked out, that's fine with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree. Alright, thanks for coming in. Okay. Take care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the thousand dollars was a little bit low. I'll just give it to the whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I brought in a signed Macho Man Randy Savage costume. Shirt, hat, and pants. This costume is great. I'm selling my Macho Man costume for $7,500. Oh yeah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not gonna be enough. I came in asking for 7,500 and it's worth 7,000 as it sits right now according to your expert. Six grand is where I would be right now. I'll do five grand. I won't do five grand. I'm gonna stick at six grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we had a lot of cool sneakers out here, but this is definitely the Holy Grail. Okay, let's take a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the Michael Jordan Last Dance documentary, there's been so many people contacting me that found out about me owning these sneakers. So I think I'll act like a free agent and see how it all pans out. Awesome. Where'd you get them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got him from somebody whose relative worked on the set. Apparently MJ handed it to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have here a 1942 Chicago Bears team signed football. It's in good shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's pretty amazing to think it's a 1942 ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's go do scribble. 2,500, it's a fair price. There wasn't quite as much as I wanted, but I think in the end I was happy with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Those are cool. They make about 150 rings a year. They are very expensive when it comes to the owner of the team buying them. They cost between five and five and a half million dollars to buy the 150 rings. So the average price is about 36, $37,000. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do you think they're worth? They're probably in the range of about 20,000 a rank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here at the pawn shop today to sell my Hasbro Kamala action figure. I found my Kamala figure at an estate sale. I'm hoping to sell my Kamala figure for $7,500 today. This is pretty cool. So the World Wrestling


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, this was going to be the original plan for the mass production, but they went with the star instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look forward to hearing what the expert has to say. I'm 99.9% sure that my figure is 100% authentic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't, but thank you anyway, sir. Have a good day. It still looks cool on the shelf. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's still a really cool conversation piece for people who see my collection. So, it's not a win, but still a win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today I got the magical bowling ball. The magical bowling ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know in the early 1800's a lot of places it was illegal to do bowling. Illegal to bowl. Because you see back then, it was just straight up gambling. You didn't play for points, you played for money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People have loved bowling since the time of the ancient Egyptians. They didn't have fancy shirts, but it's always been really popular. And this would be a great item for any guy who loves bowling. How much did you want for the ball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They go for like 150 bucks. They're rare, but they're not that rare. I'd give you 75 bucks for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have an item here I'd like to, uh, sell. Okay. This is a Neil Diamond Jazz Singer Jacket. This is cool. Neil Diamond. I mean, I know a lot of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I came to the point shop today to sell a Neil Diamond satin jacket. Meeting Neil Diamond was one of the biggest thrills of my life. I'm hoping I can get around $250 and I'd like to go no less than $200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, not only that, but he wrote for other people, like, he wrote I'm a believer for the monkeys. When was this made? 1980.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I take it you're Steve? I'm Steve. Alright. Okay. 34 years ago, I worked at Capitol Records and I had the privilege of meeting and working with Neil Lyman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was tremendous. We actually went over to his studio in LA before the album came out and he played us about four tracks, three of them which ended up being, uh, top ten singles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a remake of the actual 1920s movie that Al Jolson made called The Jazz Singer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you guys are serious, he's really this big. He is huge. He's never not on the radio. Ballads, pop songs, he's in everything. He is the only person in the world who can make a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We made this only for the key executives at the label, key trade people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are none of these around because we never made the jacket commercially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I was offered $250 for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, cool. Thanks. I'll meet you right up front and I'll write you up. You got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could see him wearing the jacket and walking down Las Vegas Boulevard in it. And I'm sure that he'll get stopped just like I did every time I wore it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Unfortunately, man, I'm not a shoe store. If they were the original ones, I could probably see doing something or Jordan wore them. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. These are still a very nice shoe. You can buy them out of your pocket then if you want. How much you want for them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Babe Ruth says, it's the finest cola drink I ever tasted. Red Rock Cola, five sets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sweet. Uh, Babe Ruth endorsed a lot of things. A lot of tobacco ads. I know he did pipe tobacco, he did cigars, I think he did cigarettes too. I don't know what it is about sports guys, they've just always endorsed things. Joe DiMaggio was a great baseball player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the peak of Babe Ruth's career, he was endorsing all kinds of products. But believe it or not, he had nothing to do with the Baby Ruth candy bar. The candy company claimed that it was named after President Cleveland's daughter, Ruth. Hey, they got away with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what made you pick it up? You're a Babe Ruth fan? A Red Rock Cola fan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of these were made. Okay, uhm, just imagine how excited Red Rock Cola was when they got Babe Ruth to endorse their product. They're just not gonna make a few of things. They're gonna make a gazillion of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I don't see $2,000 worth of rarity there at all. I see 400 bucks worth of rarity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see 400 bucks. That's, that's what I- That's as much as I'm willing to risk. 450? 400 bucks. I'm taking a gamble on it. How much did you pay for it by chance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, just bring it right up to the front counter and they'll take care of you. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy bought the poster at a garage sale for 20 bucks. He ended up doing pretty well. I'm the one taking the risk here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in my experience, it's a pretty sure thing with BabeRoot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. This thing is nice. This is a casting owl. 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] Hey Big Hoss, got a new pinky ring for ya. Where's yours it from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What have we got here? This is a 1960 NFL yearbook. I didn't know the NFL had a high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFL players back in 1960 that I can remember because they were my heroes when I was back there playing football at 15 years old. I'm hoping to get $50, but I would probably take less because nobody else really cares about the book like I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got this at the New York Giant Philadelphia Eagle football game back in 1960 at Yankee Stadium. We actually bought this for a big 50 cents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you look through this book, you'll see names like Johnny Unitas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you remember Jim Brown or, uh, you're too young for that one, I guess. I mean, I'm a little young, but how could you not know who Jim Brown is? I read stories that he used to stay awake at night trying to think of how to get away from tacklers. That's how great he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I thought it was a little bit low, but I paid 50 cents for it back in 1960, so that's not a bad return for my money.


[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, it's resized. It looks like it was really, uh. It was done by a really bad jeweler.


[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] With the whole AFL-NFL merger, these were just called simply AFL-NFL World Championship games. During the 1960s, there was a huge rivalry between the AFL and the NFL. Which league was superior? So when leagues finally agreed to merge, Super Bowl I was the contest where the teams could finally prove who was better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they started the first Super Bowl, they started issuing championship rings for the winning team. In addition to that, at the organization's discretion, they would issue

[Assistant] So these are actually both authentic. Now there is one discrepancy. I've seen a couple of these come up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's usually with the green stone. I've never seen one that actually has a blue stone in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Super Bowl one is going to have a slight premium to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, you're looking at about a grand a piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm telling you, if these were championship rings, you'd have well over a hundred grand here. Uh, but, being that they're not the ones issued to players, they're not gonna be worth quite as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then, your tickets costed 12 bucks, only 50,000 people watched, and your halftime show was a marching band.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playbooks themselves, they date back over a hundred years and in a sense they contain all of the team's secrets. It's literally like learning another language between all the blocking assignments and different routes and packages. The books have just exponentially grown not only in size but complexity and they can be even upwards of about a thousand pages these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Rick, what concerns did you have about the book? Uhm, what is something like this worth? I mean, is there even a market for this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're talking about the 66 Dolphins here. It's not like we have Vince Lombardi's Packers. Both books together. Itinerary and all you're looking at. At about 400 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally you see an 80 year old program burnt to a crisp. You wouldn't think too much of it, but this thing is actually very significant. The NFL this time was still in its infancy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Originally the game was supposed to take place at Wrigley Field. There's a horrific blizzard. They're forced to move into an indoor venue. They picked Chicago Stadium. Now this was a complete disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game forever changed the way that the NFL would be played. After the season, the NFL was split into two divisions so you could have a true championship game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Programs that are this old have a very narrow market just because the generation who appreciates these are kind of dwindling as years go on. What separates the good from the garbage with programs is condition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, obviously the condition is pretty rough here. It's burned completely around the left side of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That being said, because of the sudden venue change, it's my belief that they never distributed any of these. They sat in a box for 30 plus years. It's likely very few of these were salvaged from the fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This thing is actually the holy grail of football programs. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just never come available on the secondary market. Anybody looking for these would go absolutely nuts. How much are you into it for? 2750. 2750. So, a very conservative number. Since these are so rare, I wouldn't be surprised if you got 10k for this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally an 80 year old program that's been burnt to a crisp, you wouldn't think too much of it, but this program is actually very significant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nowadays the Super Bowls have become so popular, you know, well over 150 million people can tune in. Commercials are gonna run you $4 million just for a 30 second spot. It's become a national holiday. You know, I've never even seen one of these. What do you think it's worth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's no shortage of these out there. The coliseum was enormous, they printed quite a bit of these. But finding them in good shape is pretty hard to do. Mind if I take a look at the program? Sure, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, just looking at the cover alone, I mean, it's in pretty good condition, uhm, no major scratches on it. Spine overall looks to be in pretty good shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some rounding on the corners down here in the bottom. This is very common on these because they have a three page fold out here. And over the years it can get worn down. Other than that, I mean, the pages still have great color. I don't see any kind of, uh, conditioning issues with the pages themselves. So as is, you're looking at around


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of Super Bowl programs, this is the one you wanna have. This one's in decent condition, but it's kinda middle of the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Chicago Bears are one of the two oldest teams who are still playing in the NFL and as far as fan bases go they have one of the most loyal fan bases of any team out there. What concerns you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if we're dealing with an official ball, mint condition signatures, we'd be talking several thousand dollars. Now, looking at some of the signatures, we have to determine whether or not these are even authentic ones. Those signatures, they're 100% spot on exactly what I want to see in a 1967 ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the other signatures, you really gotta focus on the characteristics of the autograph. If we compare a Brian Piccolo signature here to the one on the football, these are contrasting signatures and very


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Typical for what you see in a clubhouse signature, they were signed by somebody else other than the athlete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Considering the kind of ball it's on, which ones are real versus which are in a clubhouse, you're looking at maybe tops, thousand bucks. Jeremy Mann, I appreciate you coming in. Anytime, Corey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I see we got, uh, Jostens. Usually you would see that not only in a different location, but it looks to be actually hand engraved rather than actually out of the machine. But this thing was so enormous, it didn't fit inside Jostens normal ring engraver. They actually had to have somebody laser engrave each and every ring as you see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this ring is 100% legit and it's uh, it's pretty awesome. Sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was this something they would have sold at like a wrestling event? They would not have been sold at the events, but, uh, as a Halloween costume.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do write, have a nice day. And that's definitely my handwriting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's pretty cool. And that looks to be in outstanding condition, as does this t-shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, this looks legit. And this is definitely one of the first Dude Love shirts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rick, I wore a leather mask and hid out in a boiler room. I'm a little weird too. You got some cool stuff here. Thanks. It's been a pleasure meeting you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Came out of high school and played for the same team his entire career. I mean, that just doesn't happen anymore. The condition looks alright, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kobe Practice Jersey from the 2010 Finals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a, uh, 1978 team autographed Harlem Globetrotters basketball and the game program. Sweet. Did you get this signed yourself? Yeah. Okay. I was eight years old and waiting in the hallway to the locker room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The coolest part about the Globetrotters is how much fun that they had. I tried to do some of their tricks back then, but it never worked. Looking to sell the ball today because I'm more into hockey now, so I'd rather start collecting hockey stuff. Metal art. Sweet Lou. Curly Neil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's only worth $300, I'll probably put it in some kind of a case and keep it in the family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the whole AFL-NFL merger, these were just called simply AFL-NFL World Championship games. During the 1960s, there was a huge rivalry between the AFL and the NFL. Which league was superior? So when leagues finally agreed to merge, Super Bowl I was the contest where the teams could finally prove who was better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they started the first Super Bowl, they started issuing championship rings for the winning team. In addition to that, at the organization's discretion, they would issue


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are actually both authentic. Now there is one discrepancy. I've seen a couple of these come up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's usually with the greenstone. I've never seen one that actually has a blue stone in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course being Super Bowl 1, but the fact it's not the right stone might bring it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, you're looking at about a grand a piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm telling you, if these were championship rings, you'd have well over a hundred grand here, uh, but being that they're not the ones issued to players, they're not gonna be worth quite as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finding memorabilia from Super Bowl I and II, it's truly amazing. Because the game has essentially evolved into a holiday. You know, you have tailgating, the pregame coverage, the commercials, the halftime show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then your tickets costed 12 bucks, only 50,000 people watched, and your halftime show was a marching band. I was really thinking it was more money, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the Olympics coming up, we thought it would be a lot of fun to draw an athlete. Which one are we drawing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's first draw the eyes. We can draw two circles. Draw the first one about this size, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This also makes our eyes look shiny and reflective. We can color in the big circle, but leave the little circle white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now let's draw the shape of our weightlifter's head. We're going to start here on the left side. We're going to curve under and then back up on the right side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next let's draw the hair and you could draw a boy since you got the mustache and I'll draw, I'll change mine to be a girl and you could add different kinds of hair. We could draw spiky hair or curly hair and also draw long hair or maybe even short hair. I'm going to draw curly hair. I'm going to start here on the left side and I'm going to draw


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda looks like waves. I'm gonna draw little curves like this that connect over to the other side. Do you wanna draw spiky hair? You can draw zigzags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, and then we can draw that outside shape of our hair. I'm going to draw a bumpy line, but going this way, going up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some of my bumps are big and some are small. You can mix them up and change the size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could do the same thing with your spikes. Some of them could be bigger spikes. Yeaah. Just like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome. Alright, now we're ready to draw the hands holding up the weight. Let's just keep it simple and we'll draw a circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we can also draw, let's draw a sideways U shape for the thumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's draw the weights or let's draw the bar in between the hands. I'm going to start here and draw a curve that goes over the hair and connects to the other side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're ready to draw the weights. I'm gonna draw a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Line going this way and because my bar is bending, I'm drawing this line diagonal or aimed out like this. Since your bar isn't bending as much, you could draw that line almost straight up and down. I'm going to repeat the same line over here on this side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We want it to be the same length on each side. So draw that same length line over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good job. Now let's draw the top of the weights and I'm going to draw mine diagonal too, but yours could come maybe more straight out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna draw another line down here at the bottom that matches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So draw that same line. Yeah, you could draw over here too, and then also down here at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These lines could be really long if you have enough room, and then that way it would look like they have more weights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good job. Now let's connect the top down to the bottom on each side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's divide the weights. I'm going to add two lines so that there's even more weights. You could add


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four lines or five, you could add five lines. You could add as many as you want. You could even just add one line. I'm gonna add two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could add just as many if you want to add the same amount, so it's not lopsided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're ready to add the end of the barbell coming through the weights and sticking out the end. I'm going to imagine this line going through, coming out the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Short line down and then back in. And then do the same thing over here on the right side. Short line out, down, and back in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to curve down and connect it to the bottom of the head. Right into the cheek. And then let's do the same thing on the right side. Come down and connect to the cheek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's draw the body. We're going to draw two lines coming down on each side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then let's draw the waist. We can draw a line coming across. It looks like the letter H. And then let's draw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An upside down V in between for the shorts. And then we can connect the bottom on each side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next let's draw the sleeves on our uniforms. We're going to draw a short line coming down from the cheeks on each side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then connect that short line into the body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's draw the other side of our arm. These are really long arms. I love it. We're going to come down like this and then connect it into the sleeve and the same thing over here. So I like drawing cartoons so much. We're going to connect in on the right side too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next let's draw the legs and we can just draw simple legs. We'll just draw two lines coming out on each side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's add the details to the shoes. Next, we can draw the bottom of the shoe. So we'll draw another curve on each side. Then we can draw the top of the shoe. I'm going to draw a little curve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's also add a little detail to the jersey. We could draw the neck. Maybe they're wearing a tank top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and then they could also have a number on their chest. Let's draw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A short line down, long line across. Looks like a letter L. And then let's draw the same line on top and then connect down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks man. I love your drawing too. Especially love the sweat drops. I had to add that too. And I love how heavy your weights are. I wish I was that strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what's more amazing, the fact that the Chicago Bears are such a lower profile circus act, or that there are still avid fans of the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a good year as often as Hayley's comments will take a lot of enthusiasm out of people. But here we are, another forgettable season and more wasteful stenches coming out of Soldier Field. Did I mention this has been almost every year for the last 25 years? I think I know why you've been punished like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are the jobbers of the NFL world. The Bears have been put on this earth to make teams like the Packers and Cowboys look good and pad fantasy stats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A rather quiet 3 and 13, where fan expectations are to the point where if they don't shit themselves on a field, they see it as status quo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alshon Jeffery had a terrible year full of underachieving and a PED suspension, the offense packed enough punch to be mistaken for a water pistol, and the fanbase STILL desires to fire the eternally underachieving Jay Cutler out of a trebuchet into Lake Michigan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay Cutler is the best quarterback the Bears have ever had. He's actually the perfect mascot for the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The powers of nepotism. She has unleashed the Pandora's Box on Bear's fans known as the Macaskys!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even then, the McCaskys find a way to fuck up situations that would play themselves out if they didn't meddle. What's a great idea?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fire GM Jerry Venisi after a 14-2 season. An even better one? Fire Chicago demigod Mike Ditka and piss off Bears fans everywhere because he won't stroke Ed Makasky's ego and he had a subpar season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do we fix our quarterback problem? Force our team to draft Jim Harbaugh and then cut him because he sucks. But we can waste first round picks to trade for Rick fucking Myrer and draft the legendary Cade McNown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accountants in charge of day-to-day football operations. You get people more interested in the bottom line than the on-field product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know why you agree to it. So you could artificially increase demand for your product and charge more money for tickets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lovie Smith was the lowest paid head coach in football for years, and then they fire him after a 10-6 season. Let's not even get into the Phil Amore era, redrafting and redrafting positions for years. God-awful free agent signings and extensions galore. By the way, how'd that Mark Trustman experiment work out for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally worth passing on Bruce Arians because he wouldn't keep most of the assistant coaches. It's still gotten to the point of the Bears being disgustingly greedy, however. Take Hunter Hellenmeier, a linebacker who suffered a career-ending injury while with the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is incredibly ironic, considering the major controversy between football and post-career health issues was catalyzed by the death of Dave Duerson, a former fucking Chicago bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When your great matriarch croaks, you hope, her offspring will either be usurped from power or be so consumed with greed that they sell the team and fuck off to the Hamptons. Either way, there are too many what-ifs in this situation. There is only one absolute here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No! Stay classy, Criers fans. Please do us all a favor and trade Shane Ghost Despair to a real tea before you corrupt him like everyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Press conferences that are hyped to oblivion. They're going to be showing the match in movie theaters for god's sake. To anyone with a brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one of the most soulless cash grabs in the history of professional sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a fucking terrible fight. Boring, sleep inducing wankery that had people feeling ripped off and saw sharks encircling boxing's bloated carcass. But no, we are supposed to forget about all of that because we have a match full of tension and drama. I mean, look at all of the trash talking going on right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the lack of ticket sales so far, it appears we are learning this lesson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Save up whatever you can and do everything in your power to build and maintain good credit scores. The latter is especially important in this day and age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are so many options that can be opened up to you with good credit scores, such as more desirable credit options and even establishing new lines of credit. It's something that can be hard to do and may take years to develop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phone bills, electric, gas, water, cable and internet, you name it. Not only boosting credit scores, but having the ability to do it instantly instead of taking months to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most people who join up see a boost greater than 10 points in their credit and the consumer has complete control. They can come and go at any time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of which, I'd like to sincerely thank Experian for sponsoring this video. And now for our feature presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pure awkwardness, but amplify this for decades upon decades of ineptitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not that you feel disgust or pity, you just don't feel anything. And it's insane regarding their past. I don't have to go into gruesome detail about their exploits, it would be far too depressing and or laughable to mention without any sort of trigger warning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could mention all the failed draft picks, the inept coaches, the total incompetence of Matt Millen. Seriously, why the fuck did they hire him to be their GM to begin with? But that wouldn't be kosher to the unprotected ears of those watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a team that's been in a perpetual rebuild for about the last 25 years, this is a damning statement. I should just end the video here, but that's not fun to me. Neither is dealing with the mediocrity of Jim Caldwell. Once again, just okay is a hit code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim Caldwell, you can decay like most of this city's architecture in the background. Now they have a new identity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being a cheap imitation of far more relevant franchises. With their newest cow to be processed through the slaughterhouse, they went with a young defensive coordinator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have any history of how their coordinators do as head coaches, it's fucking ghastly. Teams think that marinating underneath the controlling grasp of the hoodie will allow them to photosynthesize his skills, but they would be mistaken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only one who hasn't been a complete disaster has been Bill O'Brien, and even then he's been on the hot seat so long his ass has permanent third degree burns. If anything is so Detroit, their new head coach would immediately be put into the spotlight for rape allegations, because what's this city without any sort of executive corruption?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now stop with the low-hanging fruit. What I won't stop hammering on is their newest identity of being a shameless copy of the Patriots, but without anything that makes that team good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the same mistakes that every other team makes when trying to take on their four. Yes, hire one of their scouts to be your GM. Sure, let's conscript a bunch of their old players. Bring in the Garret Blunt and Gronk, wait, Scratch Gronk, he'd rather retire than go to hell. The reality is they forget the three main ingredients that make New England successful. Belichick, Brady, and craft. Matt Patricia so far is far from a Belichick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I remember correctly, a lot of Patriots fans wanted him fired in the early part of the 2017 season for their poorest defense, but I'd say he rebounded nicely. Just enough to make his men harder and tougher by making them practice in the cold, when the Lions play in a dome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is never going to be Brady. The dude is a gunslinger you're trying to make into a short-range passer and he ain't that. Not that I'm trying to defend the guy, but he is one of the best fantasy football quarterbacks in the NFL today. Yeah, I said fantasy. He's the kind of player where he'll look rather mediocre for the first three quarters of play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously, this guy can't beat quality opponents. People give Kirk Cousins shit for his record against teams over 500. Stafford has been significantly worse than him!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, maybe in Detroit's depressing world, he's the best QB they've ever had, but other teams might want more. Although in his defense, I will say this. Have the Lions ever given him a decent offensive line? Or a good running game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they've had a great running back since Barry Sanders. They didn't have a 100-yard rusher in the game until Carrion Johnson this past year. It had been almost half a decade since it last happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching as Mason Crosby shanks field goal after field goal to the top of Green Bay self-destruction.

[Assistant] Beating Miami, the most challenging of teams to defeat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously, only 10 and 6? You guys are pathetic. Just like the lions who utterly collapsed and lost at 9. For Detroit, this is just the cold, unforgiving reality of Windsor breathing down their necks. Patricia and his lust to make the Detroit Patriots handcuff the offense and turned into an uninspired retread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what would be great? Forcing your gunslinger to throw a bajillion screens on third down for a team with poor alignment and blocking schemes. Sounds like a plan for disaster. When you lose to the goddamn Bills in an ugly game, there's a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No amount of benching not Tom Brady will turn you into Pygmalion, Matt. After such a disaster of a year, what is their plan, of course? Double down on skinning the Patriots alive. Prey Flowers, their top defensive end, signed to a ridiculous contract replacing Ezekiel Ansa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it, Danny Amendola. He's old, injury-prone, and a poor man's Westwalker. And he played for the Patriots, so he's perfect. In fact, the Titan that got fucked over against New England's available too. Jesse James, more like a weapon to aid our new offensive coordinator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Daryl Bevel? The genius that passed the ball in the one yard line? Lions fans think this is good? Oh god. Does anyone understand why this team isn't taken seriously? It's like a teenager trying to chase all the popular trends but without any of the authenticity or passion. It makes sense since they've been run for decades by the incredibly incompetent Ford family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just say if they ran their car business like this, they'd have to rely on government bailouts to get them out of it. No doubt they've owned the team since the mid-1960s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They let the wrong people take control and let them have the reins for way too goddamn long. Do you honestly expect an old woman in Martha Ford to turn into Margaret Thatcher and just start cleaning house? Fuck no, she's trying to enjoy whatever time she has left on this earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Write all the puff pieces you want about how different she is from her late husband, I'll still have a hard time believing it. I'm not here to rub reality in your face, because that's honestly doing it to you already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have been nothing for decades. You are currently nothing. You will continue to be nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd think an area that has abandoned factories as plentiful as union workers would know how to do this, because they sure as hell know how to take down a football team every year. In fact, let's look at their legacy. You'd think the correct answer was already in your mind. Owen 16. Well, you're wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have I made my point yet? When a team only wins a playoff game once in over 60 years, I think there is some cynicism that is validated, no? And here's the most depressing fact of them all. The Lions are the best team Detroit has right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to sell it because my wife and I were moving to Vietnam. Hoping to get 13,000 inside. So where'd you get it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got it from a buddy of mine who needed the money and I thought it'd be a good investment. Atlanta Braves, 1995 World Champions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really know that much about the ring. They're gonna bring in an expert, so hopefully he'll verify that it's worth the 13,000 that I'm asking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was really disappointed. They bring some bozo off the street. I don't know where he came from. All of a sudden he comes through the door and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, that's okay. I'll just take it home. Alright my man, I appreciate it. Thank you. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've learned my lesson, I'm not bringing any more rings into this shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simple. They offer one of the best sounds available at roughly half the price of major brands. Allow me to introduce the E25, Raycon's newest and best wireless model. It boasts over six hours of battery life, souped up bass, seamless Bluetooth pairing to many devices, and a sleek look that looks good on even the most unkempt of men.

[Assistant] The Charlotte Hornets. You think nothing of them. Why would you? They've only been utterly forgettable as a franchise for the strong majority of their existence. Both incarnation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the gold standard that today's stars are compared to. Yes, LeBron's great and all, but could he have competed in Jordan's era, they still cry? And to answer that, yes, he would have talent plays out in any era. However, I'm not here to talk about his playing days. There are thousands of videos already discussing that in detail. Let's dig into his time after the hardwood. Transport yourself back to 1998.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His airness is always felt he's been slighted by the fat cats at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jerry Krause always held him back from his true potential. They wouldn't listen to his best player on personnel decisions. He felt voiceless. His ego wasn't being fed at every moment. That fucking toad did nothing but take credit for his hard work. Where could his next challenge be but in this position? Truly uncharted territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would take a year, but Jordan would finally have his chance in the executive branch. The Washington Wizards. The team was awful, deep in a tank for their next savior. It was perfect. He could make the mark of a dynasty that will bring him into the halls of immortality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, even the bulls weren't built in a day, so this would take time. The wizards were clay and he would mold them into his own image. Rod Strickland was an injured liability so he could kindly fuck off. Christian Leitner could thrive on this team though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The package to get him included their best player in Jawan Howard, but that wasn't important. Jordan has a monumental moment coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Wizards have won the lottery. They will get the first overall pick in the 2001 draft. The ways they can take their franchise are innumerable. Who does he take with this selection? Kwami Brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man who would only develop into one of the greatest memes of that decade. The next fix became Tyson Chandler and Pau Gasol. He whiffed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once he retired, for the final time, the Wizards told him to leave and never return. He had felt betrayed again. He did nothing wrong in his eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though if you look at his transactions, he sucked. He tried to compete but failed miserably. He botched his draft choices. He set the team back years with his moves. He made the team about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was justified as he had failed as an executive, but Michael disagreed. He didn't get enough time, he thought. Not to say Washington would be smart. The Wizards would replace Air Jordan with Ernie Grenfell, which is a punishment they would feel for 15 years. Not exactly freedom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite this setback, Michael wanted another chance. He was slighted in Washington. A new opportunity needed that guarantee he wouldn't be merely used as a toy to bring fans to the arena. How about Charlotte? They're a terrible theme as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number 23 coming home. People will love it. A face like Michael will only bring attention to this franchise. This time, though, he'll become an owner. He will buy a minority stake in the team on one condition. He gets complete control of basketball operations. He won't be fired like he did in Washington this time. He would get all the time he would need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you ready for a whirlwind of awful moves? Because it's turning like one of Jordan's windmills. Years upon years of bad trades and bad drafting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brooke Lopez. Three years later, they would want a franchise altering center. They would move heaven and earth, including Steven Jackson and Sean Livingston to move up to select one man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would unsurprisingly do nothing in Charlotte. 2017 had the same thing happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Head coach Steve Clifford was begging them to pick a budding prospect, but they dismissed his pleas. They would pick a flopping malik monk instead. Who did Clifford pound the pavement for? Donovan Mitchell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marvin Williams is decent, so why not grossly overpay him to force him to stay in this hellhole? It's at this point where one would suspect that Jordan is afraid of failure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't want to tank, even though his efforts have mostly failed miserably to this point, because he still has to prove that he's better than Jerry Grau.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I supposed to be surprised that he went to a team that appreciated his services? You lost him for next to nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd think that the Hornets would try to reassess their situation, perhaps tank for a chance at a top draft pick, but you don't know Michael. He's afraid of failure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wants a piece of flesh in return for Kempa. How about a downgrade in Terry Rosier and an overpayment? Look, Charlotte, they won in the end! Aren't you excited for Hornet's basketball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You aren't? Well you should be with being locked into a cell with those terrible deals they've signed. Now here's the one thing I have never understood about this whole situation. As a player, Michael Jordan was about greatness. He never settled on anything less than the best for both himself and his teammates. His drive and hunger were legendary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No problem, they started at roughly half the price of the major brands. This is a special time for people, and Raycon wants to make it more so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't it feel good after over 20 years of futility?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you'd rather win a football title given the circumstances, but a break from the agony of baseball is sure to be a relief. What with always playing second fiddle in every realm.
