50
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:55,459
Alright.

51
00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,040
Okay. It's a time when good medicine and

52
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,500
health tips are colorfully

53
00:02:01,064 --> 00:02:04,265
presented by my German American actively practicing medical

54
00:02:04,265 --> 00:02:07,004
doctor, doctor Gudrin Reid or Gigi.

55
00:02:07,384 --> 00:02:09,224
Doctor Gigi, as she likes to be called,

56
00:02:09,224 --> 00:02:11,784
is a distinguished scientist. And because of her

57
00:02:11,784 --> 00:02:14,985
research, she holds four DNA technology patents in

58
00:02:14,985 --> 00:02:17,650
her name. She's been a university professor, syndicated

59
00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:20,590
broadcaster, now a newspaper columnist, very good doctor,

60
00:02:20,590 --> 00:02:22,530
and an artist. I mean, you make incredible

61
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:24,530
art. So all that said,

62
00:02:25,469 --> 00:02:27,250
the list could go on and on. Yeah.

63
00:02:27,469 --> 00:02:28,450
Keep going, please.

64
00:02:29,615 --> 00:02:31,215
You should say quit it some more. Quit

65
00:02:31,215 --> 00:02:33,055
it some more. Yeah. Quit it some more.

66
00:02:33,055 --> 00:02:34,655
What medical marvels do you have for us

67
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:38,014
today on this week's week's health segment of

68
00:02:38,014 --> 00:02:38,514
MDGG?

69
00:02:39,614 --> 00:02:42,094
Well, as you know, we have been reading

70
00:02:42,094 --> 00:02:45,199
Ron Reel's first book. Ron Reel, the realtor?

71
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,379
Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. Mhmm. Overcoming

72
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:50,079
a lot. Overcoming a lot. And he had

73
00:02:50,079 --> 00:02:51,139
rheumatic fever

74
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
twice. When he was young. When he was

75
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,099
young. Yeah. So we thought,

76
00:02:56,805 --> 00:02:59,444
or you thought, what is rheumatic fever? Of

77
00:02:59,444 --> 00:03:01,205
course, we learned it in medical school, but

78
00:03:01,205 --> 00:03:02,585
we really don't see anybody

79
00:03:03,044 --> 00:03:06,004
developing it anymore. So we thought we'll talk

80
00:03:06,004 --> 00:03:08,324
about rheumatic fever. What did he think it

81
00:03:08,724 --> 00:03:10,324
when he first heard the word, he was

82
00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:11,625
like seven years old.

83
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:14,349
He thought it was romantic fever. Romantic fever.

84
00:03:14,349 --> 00:03:16,430
And he'd see his brothers and his, sister

85
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:18,110
in law's kissing. So he thought it was

86
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:19,090
a romantic fever.

87
00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:20,849
Yep. Cute.

88
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:23,169
It's, but not it's okay.

89
00:03:23,550 --> 00:03:24,050
Rheumatic

90
00:03:24,349 --> 00:03:24,849
fever

91
00:03:25,604 --> 00:03:28,004
sounds like an old fashioned disease from history

92
00:03:28,004 --> 00:03:28,504
books,

93
00:03:28,965 --> 00:03:31,544
but it is still quietly changing

94
00:03:32,004 --> 00:03:33,544
lives today, possibly,

95
00:03:33,925 --> 00:03:36,504
especially when a simple sore throat is ignored.

96
00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:38,884
It begins with an infection by a so

97
00:03:38,884 --> 00:03:39,384
called

98
00:03:39,770 --> 00:03:41,150
group a streptococcal

99
00:03:41,689 --> 00:03:42,189
bacterium.

100
00:03:43,129 --> 00:03:44,590
That is the same bacteria

101
00:03:44,969 --> 00:03:47,150
that causes strep throat.

102
00:03:47,689 --> 00:03:50,250
Oh, really? Okay. So let me get get

103
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:51,789
on the step. Alright.

104
00:03:52,145 --> 00:03:54,544
Doctor. Yeah. Well Doctor, I do not mean

105
00:03:54,544 --> 00:03:56,805
to embarrass you, but do you know why

106
00:03:57,344 --> 00:04:01,125
diarrhea is classified as an inherited disease?

107
00:04:01,664 --> 00:04:03,840
Why? Because it runs in your genes.

108
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:07,219
Okay.

109
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,259
Okay. Back to more Risky as I'll tell.

110
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:13,360
Rheumatic fever. In a small number of people

111
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,180
who have

112
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,205
the rheumatic fever, the immune system

113
00:04:17,745 --> 00:04:20,305
attempts to attack those bacteria, this the group

114
00:04:20,305 --> 00:04:21,045
a strip,

115
00:04:21,504 --> 00:04:24,865
and the the immune bodies misfire and they

116
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:27,745
start attacking our body's own tissue. We've had

117
00:04:27,745 --> 00:04:29,685
that in the recent past. Right?

118
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,180
EBV virus and, multiple sclerosis, for example. Epstein

119
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,060
vials, that one. Epstein Barr virus. Yeah. Right.

120
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,319
And so if it touches or if it

121
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:42,339
attacks our own issues, it's usually

122
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:43,939
coming from the

123
00:04:44,514 --> 00:04:47,314
strep group a strep. It's usually the heart

124
00:04:47,314 --> 00:04:50,035
and the joints. Oh. So weeks after the

125
00:04:50,035 --> 00:04:52,035
sore throat is gone, a child or a

126
00:04:52,035 --> 00:04:54,774
teenager who usually has the strep throat,

127
00:04:55,634 --> 00:04:57,574
may develop fever or painful

128
00:04:58,220 --> 00:05:00,079
swollen knees or ankles,

129
00:05:00,779 --> 00:05:04,459
strange jerky movements Weird. Cinnamam, cook cinnam,

130
00:05:04,939 --> 00:05:07,100
chorea, or shortness of breath or all of

131
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,485
it. So then it's called rheumatic fever. Speaking

132
00:05:10,485 --> 00:05:12,485
of joints, the heart and joints, joints say,

133
00:05:12,485 --> 00:05:14,824
I had to quit smoking marijuana, doctor. Why?

134
00:05:15,125 --> 00:05:17,145
My cholesterol was getting too high.

135
00:05:18,324 --> 00:05:21,045
Hey. Hey. Two cows are grazing on a

136
00:05:21,045 --> 00:05:23,205
hill and one cow says the other, have

137
00:05:23,205 --> 00:05:24,985
you heard of the mad cow disease?

138
00:05:25,389 --> 00:05:26,990
And the other cow says, yeah. But what

139
00:05:26,990 --> 00:05:28,210
do I care? I'm a duck.

140
00:05:31,069 --> 00:05:33,710
Oh, god. Okay, doc. What else? So if

141
00:05:33,710 --> 00:05:36,129
and when the heart is involved in this

142
00:05:36,430 --> 00:05:37,970
misfiring of the autoimmune,

143
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:40,589
you know, the antibodies now going into the

144
00:05:40,589 --> 00:05:42,235
heart, the heart valves

145
00:05:42,854 --> 00:05:45,495
can be attacked, especially or usually it's the

146
00:05:45,495 --> 00:05:46,394
mitral valve.

147
00:05:46,854 --> 00:05:48,615
And then it can be scarred for life

148
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:49,115
because

149
00:05:50,134 --> 00:05:51,514
the, the immune

150
00:05:52,134 --> 00:05:54,875
does the immune system that attacks the rheumatic

151
00:05:54,935 --> 00:05:57,169
valve, the mitral valve can then,

152
00:05:58,189 --> 00:06:00,930
get inflammation and the inflammation then becomes

153
00:06:02,430 --> 00:06:05,550
scar tissue as in a scarred mitral valve.

154
00:06:05,550 --> 00:06:06,689
Now did you know

155
00:06:07,229 --> 00:06:09,245
why where the mitral valve is? Now is

156
00:06:09,245 --> 00:06:10,845
it ask you what is the mitral valve?

157
00:06:10,845 --> 00:06:12,125
Is one of the big ones going in

158
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:14,524
or going out? So the mitral valve lies

159
00:06:14,524 --> 00:06:17,084
between the left atrium, the little chamber, and

160
00:06:17,084 --> 00:06:19,004
the left ventricle, the large chamber. A lot

161
00:06:19,004 --> 00:06:21,644
of doctories there. And it got the name

162
00:06:21,644 --> 00:06:24,240
because of the two leaflets that look like

163
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,900
a bishop's

164
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,319
headdress, which is called a miter. Cute that.

165
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,639
A miter is a praying pose? Oh, like

166
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:32,800
the hat of the bishop that is very

167
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,220
high up. Funny hats the popes wear.

168
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:38,339
Okay. Okay. Alright.

169
00:06:38,785 --> 00:06:40,805
People say smoking will give you diseases.

170
00:06:41,745 --> 00:06:44,384
What they don't know is that smoke cures

171
00:06:44,384 --> 00:06:44,884
salmon.

172
00:06:46,064 --> 00:06:47,824
Oh, good. I finally got her to crack

173
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:49,665
a crack a laugh. Okay. This is good.

174
00:06:49,665 --> 00:06:50,485
This is good.

175
00:06:51,264 --> 00:06:53,525
Okay. So the kidneys can also be involved

176
00:06:54,149 --> 00:06:56,149
with this in the crossfire of the strep

177
00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:56,649
infection

178
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:59,910
if but not the the antibodies don't attack

179
00:06:59,910 --> 00:07:00,569
the kidneys.

180
00:07:01,269 --> 00:07:02,410
But the streptococcal

181
00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:08,014
parts can interact with the antibodies. That's how

182
00:07:08,014 --> 00:07:09,935
they work. Right? They they try to get

183
00:07:09,935 --> 00:07:12,254
rid of those, but they're so thick that

184
00:07:12,254 --> 00:07:14,894
they actually get caught in the kidneys. And

185
00:07:14,894 --> 00:07:16,274
then it's called the poststreptococcal

186
00:07:17,214 --> 00:07:17,714
glomerulonephritis.

187
00:07:19,055 --> 00:07:20,915
Okay. Nephritis meaning

188
00:07:21,220 --> 00:07:23,959
it is that you have an inflamed kidney.

189
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:26,279
And so what you have, the immune complexes

190
00:07:26,339 --> 00:07:27,959
get caught and then

191
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:29,480
you have

192
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:32,660
you lose your protein in there and then

193
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:33,480
you can get

194
00:07:34,055 --> 00:07:36,134
because you lose all the protein in the

195
00:07:36,134 --> 00:07:38,875
in the urine, you don't have any protein

196
00:07:39,014 --> 00:07:41,095
left to keep the serum in the blood

197
00:07:41,095 --> 00:07:43,014
vessels. So the blood kind of leaks out

198
00:07:43,014 --> 00:07:45,415
and then you have puffy eyes, you have

199
00:07:45,415 --> 00:07:46,475
puffy legs,

200
00:07:46,849 --> 00:07:47,669
and hopefully,

201
00:07:48,689 --> 00:07:50,689
you get over it. Right. A warning to

202
00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:52,149
people with kidney disease,

203
00:07:52,610 --> 00:07:53,750
urine, trouble.

204
00:07:57,889 --> 00:07:58,389
So,

205
00:07:59,329 --> 00:07:59,829
anyway,

206
00:08:00,824 --> 00:08:04,764
we have now the bacteria causing autoimmune disease,

207
00:08:05,225 --> 00:08:07,245
not just the viruses, even though,

208
00:08:08,024 --> 00:08:10,904
viruses are kind of more known to do

209
00:08:10,904 --> 00:08:11,404
that.

210
00:08:12,185 --> 00:08:14,845
Okay. According to Greek mythology, centaur

211
00:08:15,610 --> 00:08:18,410
was half horse and half man, doctor. Yeah?

212
00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:20,110
He was in charge of the centaur

213
00:08:20,410 --> 00:08:21,789
for infectious diseases.

214
00:08:23,289 --> 00:08:26,189
Oh, boy. Centaur. Oh my god. Centaur.

215
00:08:27,050 --> 00:08:29,930
Well, that one failed. Yeah. Okay. Funny thing

216
00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:32,485
is that you didn't know to get strep

217
00:08:32,485 --> 00:08:34,664
throat diagnosed. You do you use the Centaur

218
00:08:35,365 --> 00:08:37,845
diagnostic points. Oh my gosh. That's funny. It's

219
00:08:37,845 --> 00:08:39,845
spelled a little different, but you didn't know

220
00:08:39,845 --> 00:08:43,365
that. Right. Where are Alright. So we, as

221
00:08:43,365 --> 00:08:43,865
providers,

222
00:08:44,669 --> 00:08:46,769
encounter strep throat very often

223
00:08:47,149 --> 00:08:50,029
because we're going through those Centaur criteria. That's

224
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:52,669
pretty funny. Anyway, but we don't see a

225
00:08:52,669 --> 00:08:55,730
lot of, rheumatic fever anymore or glomerular

226
00:08:56,269 --> 00:08:57,730
post frequent whole glomerulonephritis.

227
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:01,855
Why? Because now we're treating with antibiotics.

228
00:09:03,355 --> 00:09:04,495
So in the olden

229
00:09:05,035 --> 00:09:08,154
antibiotics. In the olden days, the antibiotics were

230
00:09:08,154 --> 00:09:11,059
only available usually for people who are rich

231
00:09:11,059 --> 00:09:12,980
enough to go to the doctor or who

232
00:09:12,980 --> 00:09:14,600
could afford the antibiotics.

233
00:09:15,299 --> 00:09:16,919
So a lot of times,

234
00:09:17,459 --> 00:09:20,839
the rheumatic fever is encountered by more poorer

235
00:09:22,179 --> 00:09:24,495
people who didn't do who didn't go that

236
00:09:24,495 --> 00:09:28,174
route. Right. Overcoming all odds again. Yeah. Doctor

237
00:09:28,174 --> 00:09:30,414
Gigi, do you wanna hear my new joke

238
00:09:30,414 --> 00:09:31,634
about Alzheimer's disease?

239
00:09:32,735 --> 00:09:34,735
Sure. Doctor Gigi, do you wanna hear my

240
00:09:34,735 --> 00:09:36,514
new joke about Alzheimer's disease?

241
00:09:39,429 --> 00:09:40,169
Thank you.

242
00:09:41,029 --> 00:09:44,070
Okay. Well, this is basically all I have

243
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:46,250
to say. Okay. Recognizing

244
00:09:46,789 --> 00:09:48,870
when you have a sore throat and go

245
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:50,789
to the doctor, the doctor or the provider,

246
00:09:50,789 --> 00:09:53,554
PA, nurse practitioner needs to recognize when it

247
00:09:53,554 --> 00:09:56,214
is actually strep throat with those

248
00:09:57,075 --> 00:09:57,975
Centaur's criteria.

249
00:09:58,595 --> 00:10:01,335
And antibiotics at that time is

250
00:10:01,714 --> 00:10:04,534
the most powerful form of heart and kidney

251
00:10:05,029 --> 00:10:07,590
protection we have because anybody who has heart

252
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:10,889
disease at 30 most likely had an undiagnosed

253
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:13,529
strep throat in the youth. Wow. Too bad.

254
00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:15,509
Yeah. I I used to have strep throat.

255
00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:17,750
My my glands, the lymph nodes in your

256
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,910
neck would be real swollen. Right. It hasn't

257
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:21,644
happened in, I mean, since I was a

258
00:10:21,644 --> 00:10:22,924
kid, so it hasn't happened in the past

259
00:10:22,924 --> 00:10:23,745
fifteen years.

260
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:24,665
So

261
00:10:25,245 --> 00:10:26,764
Hey, did you hear about that new popular

262
00:10:26,764 --> 00:10:29,504
online disease, doctor? No. It went viral.

263
00:10:31,725 --> 00:10:34,129
Okay. Are we there? Okay. Yeah. We're still

264
00:10:34,129 --> 00:10:36,129
there. Thank you. Doctor Gigi for talking about

265
00:10:36,129 --> 00:10:37,190
romantic disease.

266
00:10:37,649 --> 00:10:39,730
Now we know all about it. And hello

267
00:10:39,730 --> 00:10:42,370
to Montreal if you're listening. Yeah. If you

268
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:44,690
wanna ever wanna witness the true meaning of

269
00:10:44,690 --> 00:10:47,029
controlled chaos, pure joy, and competitive

270
00:10:47,409 --> 00:10:50,575
treasure hunting, Don't wait or bother with weekend

271
00:10:50,575 --> 00:10:53,934
garage sales. Just GPS yourself straight into the

272
00:10:53,934 --> 00:10:54,754
Del Norte

273
00:10:55,134 --> 00:10:57,154
Thrift Store in Crescent City, California.

274
00:10:57,695 --> 00:11:00,414
It's not too distant from Walmart, just over

275
00:11:00,414 --> 00:11:02,495
the freeway, close to the DMV. And once

276
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:03,955
you find it, you'll know,

277
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:06,340
it from all the cars that are parked

278
00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:08,740
in front. It's open five days a week

279
00:11:08,740 --> 00:11:11,139
from nine to four, Monday through Friday. The

280
00:11:11,139 --> 00:11:13,300
rumor has it that the parking lot starts

281
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,779
filling up sometime just before nine with people

282
00:11:15,779 --> 00:11:17,524
practicing deep breathing

283
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:20,225
exercises and ready to dive in for great

284
00:11:20,225 --> 00:11:22,404
bargains the moment the doors unlock.

285
00:11:23,105 --> 00:11:24,704
Every day, and I will vouch for this,

286
00:11:24,704 --> 00:11:27,184
hundreds of people march in with that special

287
00:11:27,184 --> 00:11:29,664
glint in their eyes, the look of someone

288
00:11:29,664 --> 00:11:31,924
who believes deep down that today

289
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:35,079
maybe the day they'll find a $5 lamp

290
00:11:35,079 --> 00:11:36,919
just like the one they saw in Antiques

291
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:37,419
Roadshow

292
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:40,919
or just the perfect holiday themed gifts or

293
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:42,620
maybe a small sofa set.

294
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,620
Steering this magnificent

295
00:11:45,315 --> 00:11:48,434
ship of discounts at Destiny are true heroes

296
00:11:48,434 --> 00:11:49,174
of bargains,

297
00:11:49,794 --> 00:11:52,134
Ashley Cuevas and Mark Dufour.

298
00:11:52,514 --> 00:11:53,014
Alright.

299
00:11:53,475 --> 00:11:56,195
Ashley is the heartbeat of the operation manager

300
00:11:56,195 --> 00:11:58,980
and part ringmaster, part therapist, and part fairy

301
00:11:58,980 --> 00:12:00,679
godmother with a pricing gun.

302
00:12:01,139 --> 00:12:03,299
She looks busy because she is, but she

303
00:12:03,299 --> 00:12:04,980
knows most of the folks that come in

304
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:06,899
and out on a regular basis that is

305
00:12:06,899 --> 00:12:09,159
always willing and is always willing to help.

306
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:10,995
She never laughs too much

307
00:12:11,794 --> 00:12:13,875
when you buy your fourth armchair for the

308
00:12:13,875 --> 00:12:15,794
quote that that guest room that you actually

309
00:12:15,794 --> 00:12:16,534
don't have.

310
00:12:17,394 --> 00:12:20,434
And then there's Mark, always attentive, constant as

311
00:12:20,434 --> 00:12:23,154
an atomic clock. When I asked him his

312
00:12:23,154 --> 00:12:25,075
name the first time several years ago, he

313
00:12:25,075 --> 00:12:27,210
told me his name was, hey, bud.

314
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:29,210
Hey, bud.

315
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:31,750
His name's Mark. He's friendly and knowledgeable and

316
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:33,610
a kind of a MacGyver with knowing

317
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:35,750
whether something is a butcher block or a

318
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:38,149
kitchen table. I've also found him to be

319
00:12:38,149 --> 00:12:38,649
a

320
00:12:39,029 --> 00:12:41,794
a book reader and bonsai and fuchsia, flower

321
00:12:41,794 --> 00:12:43,954
affectionato and in general and all around good

322
00:12:43,954 --> 00:12:45,954
guy. And, oh, yes, when you do come,

323
00:12:45,954 --> 00:12:48,214
please bring quarters because he loves quarters.

324
00:12:50,995 --> 00:12:52,375
Success to that man.

325
00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:55,829
Oh, god. I have to throw that in.

326
00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:56,329
Mark,

327
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:58,409
once, he identified

328
00:12:59,269 --> 00:13:01,610
oh, well, Mark once had identified a mysterious

329
00:13:01,909 --> 00:13:04,629
metal contraption as a potato ricer or possibly

330
00:13:04,629 --> 00:13:07,384
a doorstop or even a possibly a medieval

331
00:13:07,384 --> 00:13:07,884
weapon

332
00:13:08,345 --> 00:13:10,204
depending on how you were to hold it.

333
00:13:10,824 --> 00:13:12,365
The store itself is a wonderland.

334
00:13:12,904 --> 00:13:15,625
Paintings of people no one knows, frames that

335
00:13:15,625 --> 00:13:18,264
still hold other family school portrait, rocks of

336
00:13:18,424 --> 00:13:21,139
racks of clothing that span every decade since

337
00:13:21,139 --> 00:13:22,600
the fifties, all serenaded

338
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:26,199
by the of conversation and the occasional creak

339
00:13:26,579 --> 00:13:28,980
of a shopping cart carrying a disco ball

340
00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:31,159
and a taxidermied mad cow duck.

341
00:13:31,699 --> 00:13:34,554
A mad cow duck? Okay. And me, I'm

342
00:13:34,554 --> 00:13:37,274
there almost every day. Sure. I tell myself

343
00:13:37,274 --> 00:13:38,875
it's for the bric a brac or a

344
00:13:38,875 --> 00:13:41,355
nice painting, but really it's because the place

345
00:13:41,355 --> 00:13:43,754
has great vibes and makes me smile and

346
00:13:43,754 --> 00:13:46,554
really feel human. And doctor Gigi, on her

347
00:13:46,554 --> 00:13:48,899
days off, right, Thursday and Friday, together. We

348
00:13:48,899 --> 00:13:50,679
go together and we always have a fun.

349
00:13:50,740 --> 00:13:52,579
Where else after all can you buy a

350
00:13:52,579 --> 00:13:55,159
velvet Elvis or possibly a picture of,

351
00:13:55,860 --> 00:13:57,720
Ray Simon in velvet maybe?

352
00:13:59,299 --> 00:14:00,519
Or a perfect perfectly

353
00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:02,759
functional blender for $5,

354
00:14:03,554 --> 00:14:05,475
and a bit of hope for under $10.

355
00:14:05,475 --> 00:14:07,335
You could buy lots of things. So today,

356
00:14:08,035 --> 00:14:09,254
it's launch off

357
00:14:09,634 --> 00:14:13,095
with we're gonna launch off with two lovely

358
00:14:13,315 --> 00:14:14,934
wine glasses right here

359
00:14:16,059 --> 00:14:16,959
that I bought,

360
00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:19,360
six for a dollar recently.

361
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:23,819
Welcome, Ashley Cuevas and Mark Dufour from the

362
00:14:23,819 --> 00:14:24,799
Del Norte tour.

363
00:14:25,259 --> 00:14:27,100

bank and stuff like that. And you're in

431
00:16:59,485 --> 00:17:03,164
that little room where it says open slowly

432
00:17:03,164 --> 00:17:05,804
and Yes. Yes. You know the I usually

433
00:17:05,804 --> 00:17:06,865
just leave it open.

434
00:17:08,299 --> 00:17:09,900
Yeah. We see we see it. You're usually

435
00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:11,740
on the phone. You're busy, busy, busy. How

436
00:17:11,740 --> 00:17:14,059
long has the Del Norte thrift store been

437
00:17:14,059 --> 00:17:14,559
open?

438
00:17:15,659 --> 00:17:16,159
Well,

439
00:17:16,539 --> 00:17:18,400
it was formed in the late

440
00:17:18,779 --> 00:17:19,279
seventies.

441
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:20,400
And

442
00:17:20,779 --> 00:17:21,194
in

443
00:17:21,755 --> 00:17:24,654
early two thousands, they went into that building.

444
00:17:25,034 --> 00:17:27,514
It's had many locations in Crescent City between

445
00:17:27,514 --> 00:17:28,014
Northcrest

446
00:17:28,634 --> 00:17:29,134
and,

447
00:17:29,914 --> 00:17:32,234
I wanna say, like, Front Street area. I'm

448
00:17:32,234 --> 00:17:35,115
not sure of that one. But in about

449
00:17:35,115 --> 00:17:36,335
2008, it

450
00:17:36,820 --> 00:17:38,820
is moved into the location it's at now,

451
00:17:38,820 --> 00:17:40,519
and we've been there ever since. And

452
00:17:41,299 --> 00:17:43,299
So it was called something else. Right? What

453
00:17:43,299 --> 00:17:43,799
happened?

454
00:17:44,580 --> 00:17:47,080
It was called Saint Vincent de Paul, and

455
00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:50,279
we call. Yeah. The board changed the name,

456
00:17:51,075 --> 00:17:54,595
to Downarts Community Thrift Store because we wanna

457
00:17:54,595 --> 00:17:56,294
be able to help the community more.

458
00:17:56,835 --> 00:17:58,994
And switching over, we're kinda stepping away from

459
00:17:58,994 --> 00:18:01,554
the whole religious name to kinda benefit the

460
00:18:01,554 --> 00:18:02,054
community.

461
00:18:02,890 --> 00:18:05,129
Okay. So everything stayed but the name, the

462
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,049
Yes. Employees, the And it changed about a

463
00:18:07,049 --> 00:18:08,890

because they have a mattress, we don't take

544
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:54,080
mattresses, box rings, hide to beds. Because they

545
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,960
we don't have the equipment to keep it

546
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,099
California sanitized,

547
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,014
we can't accept that. Oh, that's my pet

548
00:21:00,014 --> 00:21:00,514
peeve.

549
00:21:00,894 --> 00:21:02,494
I was an auctioneer all my life and

550
00:21:02,494 --> 00:21:04,335
appraiser of fine art and antiquities, and I

551
00:21:04,335 --> 00:21:05,714
would used to get these

552
00:21:06,255 --> 00:21:08,134
stupid laws where they come in and say

553
00:21:08,255 --> 00:21:09,615
Yeah. You cannot sell a bed. You can't

554
00:21:09,615 --> 00:21:10,974
sell a perfectly good bed. It was from

555
00:21:10,974 --> 00:21:12,974
an old lady's house and her guests slept

556
00:21:12,974 --> 00:21:14,460
on it one time. Brand new. I could

557
00:21:14,460 --> 00:21:16,380
sell it. Nope. You cannot do it. I'd

558
00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:18,460
say, you're not gonna let me sell what

559
00:21:18,460 --> 00:21:20,539
happens when you go to a motel? Mhmm.

560
00:21:20,539 --> 00:21:22,059
You sleep in in a bed that's had

561
00:21:22,059 --> 00:21:23,920
3,000 people in it and

562
00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:26,319
I bring home a friend, a bed bug.

563
00:21:26,380 --> 00:21:27,200
Yeah. Right.

564
00:21:29,125 --> 00:21:29,945
A bed bug.

565
00:21:30,325 --> 00:21:31,465
Alright. So paint,

566
00:21:32,244 --> 00:21:34,085
well, you will take food items as long

567
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:36,325
as it's in Not expired. Yeah. Yeah. Not

568
00:21:36,325 --> 00:21:39,125
expired. Yes. K. So when people drop something

569
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:42,099
off, is always some somebody there to receive

570
00:21:42,099 --> 00:21:43,859
it, or can they just drop it off

571
00:21:43,859 --> 00:21:45,299
and then you don't see it and then

572
00:21:45,299 --> 00:21:47,240
you cannot what do you do?

573
00:21:47,539 --> 00:21:49,059
Or is it do do don't you have,

574
00:21:49,059 --> 00:21:51,299
like, this big container? We have a, in

575
00:21:51,299 --> 00:21:52,740
the back of our Yeah. In the back

576
00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:54,634
of our store, we have a warehouse. And

577
00:21:54,634 --> 00:21:56,315
so we have somebody in donations, and they

578
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:57,595
kinda sort through it, and we put it

579
00:21:57,595 --> 00:21:58,575
in bins. And

580
00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:00,474
Okay. So all the The overflow goes into

581
00:22:00,474 --> 00:22:02,474
the Conics. And then when we have an

582
00:22:02,474 --> 00:22:03,775
employee on that department

583
00:22:04,234 --> 00:22:05,994
to pull that, they pull from the Conics,

584
00:22:05,994 --> 00:22:07,855
and then we price it, put it out.

585
00:22:08,269 --> 00:22:10,029
You rotate you rotate a lot of your

586
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:11,549
people too because I will go out there

587
00:22:11,549 --> 00:22:13,149

00:22:15,389 --> 00:22:17,230
work the outside too? Yeah. I do a

590
00:22:17,230 --> 00:22:19,230
little bit here and there. Yeah. So is

00:22:19,230 --> 00:22:21,075
there any shout outs? So it's there's Kim.

592
00:22:21,075 --> 00:22:22,515
Who are some of the big players there?

593
00:22:22,515 --> 00:22:23,974
Bobby. Fabi. Fantel.

594
00:22:25,075 --> 00:22:25,575
Santi.

595
00:22:25,954 --> 00:22:27,015
Santi. Yeah.

596
00:22:27,394 --> 00:22:27,894
Okay.

597
00:22:28,355 --> 00:22:30,275
We have two new people that have been

598
00:22:30,275 --> 00:22:32,375
working out. I think pretty good, Vero

599
00:22:32,830 --> 00:22:35,470
and also Rita. Yeah. Rita. Okay. And who

600
00:22:35,470 --> 00:22:36,830
who are the people in the back that

601
00:22:36,830 --> 00:22:38,350
I never see on the floor? Are they

602
00:22:38,350 --> 00:22:39,170
just the Pricers?

603
00:22:39,630 --> 00:22:42,190
They're they're volunteers and our board members. Oh.

604
00:22:42,190 --> 00:22:45,150
We're lucky. Right. Hey. I love the love

605
00:22:45,150 --> 00:22:48,134
that. What are the three most things that

606
00:22:48,134 --> 00:22:49,355
people donate?

607
00:22:49,974 --> 00:22:51,654
You know what to say? Clothes, I guess.

608
00:22:51,654 --> 00:22:52,154
Clothing.

609
00:22:52,694 --> 00:22:54,875
Oh, the number one. Clothing, probably

610
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:58,650
household, like, dishes and and Plates. Yeah. Coffee

611
00:22:58,650 --> 00:23:00,890
cups, lots and pans. Like, that's pretty cool.

612
00:23:01,049 --> 00:23:03,150
Glasses. I would say children's toys.

613
00:23:03,529 --> 00:23:05,289
Oh, yeah. Children's toys. A lot of toys

614
00:23:05,289 --> 00:23:06,809
and a lot of bags in person. So

615
00:23:06,809 --> 00:23:09,230
do you guys ever go through the merchandise

616
00:23:09,930 --> 00:23:11,850
first, or does somebody come up and say,

617
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:13,454
oh my gosh. I found this thing that's

618
00:23:13,454 --> 00:23:14,974
really cool. Do you wanna look at it?

619
00:23:14,974 --> 00:23:15,474
Or

620
00:23:15,934 --> 00:23:16,835
how does it work?

621
00:23:17,214 --> 00:23:19,294
Everything gets dropped off? It gets everything sorted.

622
00:23:19,294 --> 00:23:21,214
Yeah. Yeah. Sorted in a department. Now do

623
00:23:21,214 --> 00:23:23,134
you go and say, I really look for

624
00:23:23,134 --> 00:23:25,920
a velvet dress or something like that, and

625
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,600
then they look out for it? Or is

626
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,820
it just happens?

627
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,039
Because you know what's on there, Mark. You

628
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:33,299
know where everything is. Right?

629
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,240
I feel like it's kinda hard to remember

630
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,880
where anything's at. It's like You know? It's

631
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,035
hard to remember. Like,

632
00:23:40,515 --> 00:23:42,455
there's so much, you might say, churn

633
00:23:42,914 --> 00:23:44,775
in the store. It's hard to remember

634
00:23:45,474 --> 00:23:47,875
where something is. Yeah. We try to do

635
00:23:48,035 --> 00:23:49,634
we we'll help people, take them to the

636
00:23:49,634 --> 00:23:51,715
right rack. Yeah. Yeah. And when we ask

637
00:23:51,715 --> 00:23:53,154
you, you always said, I think it's over

638
00:23:53,154 --> 00:23:54,869
there somewhere. And Yeah. Yeah. It's like if

639
00:23:54,869 --> 00:23:57,190
it's a men's garment, it's easier because we

640
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,789
don't get that much for men. Yeah. So

641
00:23:58,789 --> 00:24:00,549
we have, like, one rack for guys that

642
00:24:00,549 --> 00:24:01,049
has

643
00:24:01,350 --> 00:24:02,970
coats, sweaters, pants,

644
00:24:03,509 --> 00:24:06,355
whereas we have, like, a whole 10 racks

645
00:24:06,355 --> 00:24:08,115
of women too. We have a lot for

646
00:24:08,115 --> 00:24:10,034
for women and and for kids. Yeah. You

647
00:24:10,034 --> 00:24:12,755
got the craft section? You wear yarn to

648
00:24:12,755 --> 00:24:14,355
paint. So Oh my gosh. We take that

649
00:24:14,355 --> 00:24:16,034
kind of yarn. You took except the little

650
00:24:16,034 --> 00:24:18,595
craft pants and brushes, and you bought a

651
00:24:18,595 --> 00:24:21,599
lot of your yarn. Lots of yarn there.

652
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:23,599
I should have worn my sweater. Yeah. No.

653
00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:25,539
Of course. And guess what happened? I I

654
00:24:25,759 --> 00:24:27,379
got got it dirty today.

655
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,839
Yeah. So, I made a sweater out of

656
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:31,599
the yarn that I got there. Cool. Awesome.

657
00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:33,759
Really, really nice. But that was he wanted

658
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:35,644
it really big for when he was big

659
00:24:35,644 --> 00:24:37,565
and now he's lost 60 pounds. So it's

660
00:24:37,565 --> 00:24:39,724
like Yeah. So, yeah. Swim home. That was

661
00:24:39,724 --> 00:24:41,345
just I use it as a tent.

662
00:24:43,164 --> 00:24:44,544
That's why you got it dirty.

663
00:24:44,924 --> 00:24:47,644
Alright. So we definitely know that a lot

664
00:24:47,644 --> 00:24:48,704
of people will give

665
00:24:49,005 --> 00:24:51,900
you the pan covers or the lid. Lids.

666
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:52,880
So you've got a

667
00:24:53,339 --> 00:24:54,960
big bed full of them, right?

668
00:24:55,339 --> 00:24:57,900
But you also get big things like every

669
00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:58,859
once in a while you get a big

670
00:24:58,859 --> 00:25:00,000
piano. Now

671
00:25:00,299 --> 00:25:02,059
I remember some of the pianos have sat

672
00:25:02,059 --> 00:25:03,704
there for a while. Yes. Maybe a month

673
00:25:03,704 --> 00:25:05,804
or two before they finally sold. But

674
00:25:06,424 --> 00:25:08,505
do you take some a piano in good

675
00:25:08,505 --> 00:25:11,144
condition? You'll take it. Yeah. Yeah. We you

676
00:25:11,144 --> 00:25:12,744
know, we try to bring in as much

677
00:25:12,744 --> 00:25:13,565
as we can.

678
00:25:14,025 --> 00:25:16,744
Cool. People are interested in something like that.

679
00:25:16,744 --> 00:25:19,400
It's just moving it. Yeah. Exactly. That's the

680
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,400
thing. I think they would move a lot

681
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,200
quicker in terms of selling, but it's like

682
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,640
you have to have maybe, like, a six

683
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,200
person crew and a big truck Yeah. To

684
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,920
get it to go. I think it took,

685
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,765
like, seven of us to move the last

686
00:25:32,765 --> 00:25:36,625
piano. Big entertainment centers are the same thing.

687
00:25:37,005 --> 00:25:39,565
Like, that we've stopped basically taking entertainment centers

688
00:25:39,565 --> 00:25:41,724
because people have flat screen TVs. Oh, yeah.

689
00:25:41,724 --> 00:25:43,565
Like, you're talking about a big hutch? Yeah.

690
00:25:43,565 --> 00:25:45,359
Like, any of this. I we went on

691
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,440
a delivery one time. This is long a

692
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,039
lot of years ago, and it took, like,

693
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:49,859
six of us,

694
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,680
I think, at least. And we had to

695
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,799
go up, like, part of a flight of

696
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:55,940
stairs with this huge entertainment center. Wow. Man.

697
00:25:56,079 --> 00:25:56,579
So

698
00:25:57,234 --> 00:25:59,075
A lot of, a lot of work. You'll

699
00:25:59,075 --> 00:26:00,934
have a lot a lot a lot of,

700
00:26:02,115 --> 00:26:03,714
what's it called? You know, for,

701
00:26:04,274 --> 00:26:04,774
for

702
00:26:05,234 --> 00:26:08,515
Christmas, for Easter, for Thanksgiving, you have where

703
00:26:08,515 --> 00:26:10,890
are those stored, The holiday items?

704
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:14,070
In that big warehouse upstairs. Yeah. So you

705
00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:15,990
wait. You got an upstairs? I don't know.

706
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:18,309
Yeah. In that sorting area outside, there's an

707
00:26:18,309 --> 00:26:20,630
upstairs loft. Yeah. I've never seen that up

708
00:26:20,630 --> 00:26:22,230
there. I know you have a big, like,

709
00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:23,769
cargo container. Right?

710
00:26:24,095 --> 00:26:25,954
Three of them. Shipping. Three of them? Yeah.

711
00:26:26,654 --> 00:26:28,595
We got three. We have three.

712
00:26:29,055 --> 00:26:31,214
Do you rent the place? The the the

713
00:26:31,375 --> 00:26:33,134
or no. The board owns it. We're run

714
00:26:33,134 --> 00:26:34,734
by a board of directors. Nice. And they

715
00:26:34,734 --> 00:26:36,759
own the whole place. Well Yeah. How many

716
00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:38,119
people are on the board? Do you know?

717
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,960
We have about four board members. Yeah. We

718
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,619
had one that passed away this last year.

719
00:26:42,679 --> 00:26:45,019
Oh, yes. She was one of our most,

720
00:26:47,559 --> 00:26:49,720
oh, yes. Yeah. We had a couple. Jerry

721
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,220
Jerry

722
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:53,134
Stafford? Yes. She was basically there from the

723
00:26:53,134 --> 00:26:54,674
beginning almost. Seventies?

724
00:26:55,375 --> 00:26:57,535
Wow. Right? I I was a long time

725
00:26:57,535 --> 00:26:59,615
ago. I they would tell a lot of

726
00:26:59,615 --> 00:27:01,535
really great stories. They didn't get so many

727
00:27:01,535 --> 00:27:03,295
donations in the past like we do now.

728
00:27:03,295 --> 00:27:04,654
So they would take a piece of clothing

729
00:27:04,654 --> 00:27:06,549
and, like, wash it, steam

730
00:27:06,849 --> 00:27:08,769
it, iron it, hang it up, and make

731
00:27:08,769 --> 00:27:11,250
it look really great because they didn't get

732
00:27:11,250 --> 00:27:12,309
a whole lot of donations

733
00:27:12,690 --> 00:27:14,789
like we do now. We're very lucky now.

734
00:27:14,929 --> 00:27:16,289
Right? Do you get do you get only

735
00:27:16,289 --> 00:27:18,130
donations as in what you sell? Do you

736
00:27:18,130 --> 00:27:19,214
get money donations or

737
00:27:21,134 --> 00:27:23,294
donations? We get we have volunteers, volunteers. And,

738
00:27:23,294 --> 00:27:24,335
you know, every once in a while, we

739
00:27:24,335 --> 00:27:26,575
get a, you know, cash donation check. Okay.

740
00:27:26,575 --> 00:27:28,255
People have sent us checks in the mail.

741
00:27:28,255 --> 00:27:29,954
And I think some people have given,

742
00:27:30,335 --> 00:27:31,634
like, in their estate,

743
00:27:32,414 --> 00:27:34,674
they left some money to us. How cool.

744
00:27:35,069 --> 00:27:37,069
Well, it's a nonprofit and it's good or

745
00:27:37,069 --> 00:27:39,089
a good cause. Right? And you really

746
00:27:39,470 --> 00:27:41,630
I I think it it warrants a deeper

747
00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:43,869
look. When you walk in, sometimes you walk

748
00:27:43,869 --> 00:27:45,549
in and see a bunch of toys and

749
00:27:45,630 --> 00:27:47,470
but as you go back towards the back,

750
00:27:47,470 --> 00:27:49,309
that's my favorite area. Man, I turn that

751
00:27:49,309 --> 00:27:52,164
corner and it's like I'm gold eyes. He's

752
00:27:52,164 --> 00:27:53,945
still like, what have I gotta find?

753
00:27:54,325 --> 00:27:55,684
What have I got? When we come together,

754
00:27:55,684 --> 00:27:57,285
he always goes, you know, I go maybe

755
00:27:57,285 --> 00:27:58,884
to the glasses or to the toys or

756
00:27:58,884 --> 00:28:01,205
whatever, and he's, like, already looking through all

757
00:28:01,205 --> 00:28:03,125
this stuff. And so I'm just starting to

758
00:28:03,125 --> 00:28:04,725
look in that area, and he said, look.

759
00:28:04,725 --> 00:28:06,659
Gigi, look here. Okay. Go over there. No.

760
00:28:06,659 --> 00:28:08,899
Look there. Look there. I wanna have my

761
00:28:08,899 --> 00:28:11,399
own time looking. Darn it. Shoot.

762
00:28:11,859 --> 00:28:13,299
Now if that's the way we find out

763
00:28:13,299 --> 00:28:13,960
our truths,

764
00:28:14,259 --> 00:28:15,859
she tells me on the air. I didn't

765
00:28:15,859 --> 00:28:16,599
know that.

766
00:28:17,299 --> 00:28:19,619
I said, I wanna look on my own.

767
00:28:19,619 --> 00:28:21,505
Yeah. I'm Because there's so many If you

768
00:28:21,505 --> 00:28:22,724
don't grab it,

769
00:28:23,744 --> 00:28:25,825
chances are there's so many people that come

770
00:28:25,825 --> 00:28:27,664
in and out of there. We got this

771
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:30,964
chair and there were two Oh, chair. And

772
00:28:31,184 --> 00:28:33,285
but, you know, chairs, you don't just get

773
00:28:33,345 --> 00:28:33,845
chairs.

774
00:28:34,259 --> 00:28:36,599
They're they're kind of bigger chairs.

775
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:39,059
Anyway, so he texted me with a picture

776
00:28:39,059 --> 00:28:41,059
saying, should I get it? Because we weren't

777
00:28:41,059 --> 00:28:43,080
thinking of moving. We didn't have a house

778
00:28:43,299 --> 00:28:44,820
then. And so then I said and then

779
00:28:44,820 --> 00:28:46,420
he said, there's two. And so then I

780
00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:48,565
said, oh, yeah. They're cool. And so he

781
00:28:48,565 --> 00:28:50,164
went back and the second one was already

782
00:28:50,164 --> 00:28:52,085
gone. And I think it was done right

783
00:28:52,085 --> 00:28:53,705
when I walked in. And it was that

784
00:28:53,845 --> 00:28:57,144
green swivel Swivel one. Abdominal. Like the sixties.

785
00:28:57,365 --> 00:29:00,164
Yeah. Yeah. Totally. That's now our of course,

786
00:29:00,164 --> 00:29:02,585
she's she's modified it in a wonderful way.

787
00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:05,350
Alright, folks. We have the mid break time

00:30:39,660 --> 00:30:41,994
thanks to all of you. Okay. Alright. Would

827
00:30:41,994 --> 00:30:43,275
you ask him the question? I was gonna

828
00:30:43,275 --> 00:30:44,474
ask him. That's gonna be one of my

829
00:30:44,474 --> 00:30:46,734
favorite ones. You know where we're at? Yeah.

830
00:30:46,875 --> 00:30:48,875
That's the one. Should I ask him? Yeah.

831
00:30:48,875 --> 00:30:50,575
What are some of the strangest

832
00:30:50,875 --> 00:30:53,914
or most unusual things that have ever been

833
00:30:53,914 --> 00:30:56,460
donated? That's his favorite each other. They're they're

834
00:30:56,460 --> 00:30:58,299
looking at each other. That's his favorite because

835
00:30:58,299 --> 00:30:58,799
that's

836
00:30:59,180 --> 00:31:01,359
that's him, you know, that's the auctioneer

837
00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:03,340
in him. He wants, you know, what is

838
00:31:03,340 --> 00:31:05,660
the most unusual thing that he ever auctioned

839
00:31:05,660 --> 00:31:07,599
off. So he wants to know that one.

840
00:31:07,994 --> 00:31:08,494
Unusual,

841
00:31:08,795 --> 00:31:10,875
biggest, smallest. I don't know. It could be

842
00:31:10,875 --> 00:31:13,355
sexy. It could be it could be scary.

843
00:31:13,355 --> 00:31:15,755
It could be lots of weird things. Okay.

844
00:31:15,755 --> 00:31:18,315
Mhmm. I don't I don't think I've for

845
00:31:18,315 --> 00:31:20,075
me, I guess I don't know. I don't

846
00:31:20,075 --> 00:31:21,694
think I've seen anything strange.

847
00:31:22,049 --> 00:31:24,529
We had an artist who donated quite a

848
00:31:24,529 --> 00:31:26,850
few carved pieces a few years ago, and

849
00:31:26,850 --> 00:31:29,009
we he one of them was Jesus Christ

850
00:31:29,009 --> 00:31:31,009
that we kept on the wall, but he

851
00:31:31,009 --> 00:31:32,610
had some unused Oh, the one one, the

852
00:31:32,610 --> 00:31:34,850
crumbs? Yeah. Yeah. That's the crew. We won.

853
00:31:34,850 --> 00:31:36,210
I had a bunch of stuff, but there

854
00:31:36,210 --> 00:31:37,375
was, like, aliens.

855
00:31:37,674 --> 00:31:40,555
There was, like, a Santa Claus. Woah. There

856
00:31:40,555 --> 00:31:41,055
was

857
00:31:41,355 --> 00:31:43,355
there was All carved. We had yeah. We

858
00:31:43,355 --> 00:31:45,275
had one a few years ago that was

859
00:31:45,275 --> 00:31:46,414
almost like a

860
00:31:46,795 --> 00:31:49,455
really strange thing that you hung clothes on.

861
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:52,720
It was like African art or you remember

862
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,980
that thing? That was just really unusual.

863
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,660
And I do think

864
00:31:57,119 --> 00:31:59,920
people like the unusual stuff. Yeah. Even if

865
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:00,980
it isn't necessarily

866
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,404
very expensive, they like something that's a little

867
00:32:03,404 --> 00:32:05,565
bit different. Yeah. And so we sold the

868
00:32:05,565 --> 00:32:07,565
stuff pretty quick, but like the Jesus on

869
00:32:07,565 --> 00:32:09,244
the wall, we kept that. Yes. And it

870
00:32:09,244 --> 00:32:11,244
says not for sale on Yeah. Because people

871
00:32:11,404 --> 00:32:13,325
I thought that would came with the territory

872
00:32:13,325 --> 00:32:15,164
as Saint Vincent de Paul when they were

873
00:32:15,164 --> 00:32:17,289
still The carving on the wall as you

874
00:32:17,289 --> 00:32:19,289
go past like, you go through the arch,

875
00:32:19,289 --> 00:32:21,289
that's Saint Vincent. He's like, as you go

876
00:32:21,289 --> 00:32:23,450
into the store on the right hand, that's

877
00:32:23,529 --> 00:32:24,809
I feel like a lot of people thought

878
00:32:24,809 --> 00:32:26,650
that's Jesus, and a lot of people wanted

879
00:32:26,650 --> 00:32:28,410
to buy that. I mean, a lot of

880
00:32:28,410 --> 00:32:30,404
people have wanted to buy that carving, but

881
00:32:30,644 --> 00:32:32,724
not yet. Oh, really important. I would say

882
00:32:32,724 --> 00:32:34,164
at least once a week someone offers to

883
00:32:34,164 --> 00:32:35,065
buy it. I would

884
00:32:36,484 --> 00:32:39,144
say the most unusual thing that I

885
00:32:39,525 --> 00:32:42,164
I did not process this item. There was

886
00:32:42,164 --> 00:32:43,845
a woman named Chelsea who used to work

887
00:32:43,845 --> 00:32:45,545
at the store, and her family had,

888
00:32:46,269 --> 00:32:48,910
like, sheep and goats. They had a miniature

889
00:32:48,910 --> 00:32:50,589
donkey and stuff. And she opened up a

890
00:32:50,589 --> 00:32:51,089
bag,

891
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:54,269
and somebody had sheared a sheep, and they

892
00:32:54,269 --> 00:32:55,890
had put this raw wool,

893
00:32:56,750 --> 00:32:58,829
washed raw wool in this bag. And she

894
00:32:58,829 --> 00:33:00,750
opened up the bag, and I guess, like,

895
00:33:00,750 --> 00:33:01,569
quite a smell

896
00:33:02,315 --> 00:33:03,914
came out of the bag. I I think

897
00:33:03,994 --> 00:33:05,674
and I didn't deal with it, but I

898
00:33:05,674 --> 00:33:07,674
I thought that's a pretty Yeah. That was

899
00:33:07,674 --> 00:33:09,275
her last day at the job, by the

900
00:33:09,275 --> 00:33:11,115
way. Yeah. So it's pretty meaning will to

901
00:33:11,115 --> 00:33:13,835
make. Then that's really cool. Will. Yeah. Yeah.

902
00:33:13,835 --> 00:33:15,490
That that could work. Cool. That could work.

903
00:33:15,490 --> 00:33:18,289
You told me there's somebody brought in recently,

904
00:33:18,289 --> 00:33:18,789
like,

905
00:33:19,169 --> 00:33:21,269
a tarantula not a tarantula, but a scorpion

906
00:33:21,490 --> 00:33:23,250
and a belt buckle. Oh, yeah. That was

907
00:33:23,250 --> 00:33:24,869
unusual. Like, with resin.

908
00:33:25,409 --> 00:33:27,089
Like, it was made. Oh. Yeah. That's nice.

909
00:33:27,089 --> 00:33:29,089
We put, like, $10 on it. And, I

910
00:33:29,089 --> 00:33:30,855
don't know. Within a week, yeah, it was

911
00:33:30,855 --> 00:33:32,375
nice. It went fast. I think it went

912
00:33:32,375 --> 00:33:34,134
the same day because I I Maybe. You

913
00:33:34,134 --> 00:33:36,134
said, hey. You just missed out on something.

914
00:33:36,134 --> 00:33:38,375
Darn it. I I like not I don't

915
00:33:38,375 --> 00:33:40,315
like to do that because it just frustrates

916
00:33:40,375 --> 00:33:42,455
people. Yeah. That's I'll pitch it. But, I

917
00:33:42,455 --> 00:33:43,595
mean, why get people

918
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,700
upset Yeah. Right. By the way. I think.

919
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,400
About a month ago, I'm I'm checking out,

920
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,119
buying something. I think, Kim was waiting on

921
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:53,960
me. I'm checking out, and here comes Mark

922
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,900
behind me carrying those barbells.

923
00:33:56,444 --> 00:33:59,164
Yeah. Weight lifting set. An older classic set.

924
00:33:59,164 --> 00:34:01,005
Yeah. And I I couldn't turn around and

925
00:34:01,005 --> 00:34:03,085
say, wow. We're kinda looking for something like

926
00:34:03,085 --> 00:34:04,605
that because I'm losing weight. And I got

927
00:34:05,005 --> 00:34:06,605
he he says, here, you can buy them.

928
00:34:06,605 --> 00:34:07,724
I was so weak. Oh, and I said

929
00:34:07,884 --> 00:34:09,484
gonna take them? You were gonna Yeah. Yeah.

930
00:34:09,484 --> 00:34:11,030
I thought it's not a big deal. And

931
00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:12,150
then well, that's what he said. Not a

932
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:13,349
big deal. So I said, no. No. No.

933
00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:14,969
But I really wanna buy one.

934
00:34:15,670 --> 00:34:17,429
I didn't need two. I just wanna buy

935
00:34:17,429 --> 00:34:19,449
one. Yeah. No. You wanna buy two.

936
00:34:19,909 --> 00:34:21,989
But I said, nope. Not not my That's

937
00:34:21,989 --> 00:34:24,385
true. So wait. Hold on. So he we

938
00:34:24,385 --> 00:34:26,704
put down underneath the back on the shelf

939
00:34:26,704 --> 00:34:28,144
and the next day I came in after

940
00:34:28,144 --> 00:34:29,824
she chastised me. Why did you buy two

941
00:34:29,824 --> 00:34:30,724
of them, you idiot?

942
00:34:31,424 --> 00:34:32,565
I was not

943
00:34:33,025 --> 00:34:34,944
I was nicer than that. Well, you didn't

944
00:34:34,944 --> 00:34:35,764
call me idiot.

945
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,519
But so thank you. It was still very

946
00:34:38,599 --> 00:34:39,720
so we think of you every time I

947
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:41,160
did So, yeah. We have both of them.

948
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,760
When you're working out? Think about it this

949
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,519
way. When you bought only one and there

950
00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:46,119
were two, it's like the person who bought

951
00:34:46,119 --> 00:34:48,700
just one chair before. Yeah. There were actually

952
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,344
two. Two. So

953
00:34:51,065 --> 00:34:52,505
You mean you're gonna return that one? They

954
00:34:52,505 --> 00:34:53,804
missed like a Karma thing.

955
00:34:56,184 --> 00:34:57,944
I speak out of Karma. There's a new

956
00:34:57,944 --> 00:34:59,244
restaurant in town,

957
00:35:00,505 --> 00:35:01,320
called Karma.

958
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,800
You there's no menu. You just get what

959
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,380
you deserve.

960
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:05,340
Cool.

961
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,160
Okay, doctor Ledoff. How are things Okay. No.

962
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,160
You said you priced it at $10. How

963
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,340
does the pricing go? Who prices things?

964
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:16,699
I think every much everybody pretty much does.

965
00:35:17,375 --> 00:35:20,014
We have a standard price for clothes even

966
00:35:20,014 --> 00:35:21,775
when some like, if we feel like something's

967
00:35:21,775 --> 00:35:23,375
a little bit nicer, we'll mark it up.

968
00:35:23,375 --> 00:35:25,295
But we don't have the like, we can't

969
00:35:25,295 --> 00:35:27,214
wash a lot of clothes the same way

970
00:35:27,214 --> 00:35:29,614
we can't this is a $2 sweater. This

971
00:35:29,614 --> 00:35:30,815
is a $2.10

972
00:35:30,815 --> 00:35:32,594
sweater. We just it's $2.50.

973
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,000
That's it. Yeah. And, we a lot of

974
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,819
us will

975
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,519
price like a household. We rotate through that.

976
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:41,679
Like, CDs are just a buck 50. Uh-huh.

977
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:43,359
But we have bins in the back where

978
00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:45,460
we think, hey. This is something unusual.

979
00:35:46,065 --> 00:35:47,664
Hey. This is a really old comic, but

980
00:35:47,664 --> 00:35:49,125
we'll put that in the bin.

981
00:35:49,425 --> 00:35:50,724
And then people with phones,

982
00:35:51,184 --> 00:35:53,264
they'll go through that bin, and they'll look

983
00:35:53,264 --> 00:35:55,025
stuff up, and that puts the price on

984
00:35:55,025 --> 00:35:56,545
it. So what do you mean? They're looking

985
00:35:56,545 --> 00:35:59,059
up a price pricing apps? They're they're looking

986
00:35:59,059 --> 00:36:01,300
up with, like, eBay and Google and stuff

987
00:36:01,300 --> 00:36:02,739
like that. And we don't stuff that is,

988
00:36:02,739 --> 00:36:05,219
like, unique or eye catching. We're like, wait.

989
00:36:05,219 --> 00:36:06,760
This kinda looks like it has value.

990
00:36:07,140 --> 00:36:08,980
Let's see if it's worth anything. We have

991
00:36:08,980 --> 00:36:11,300
some people too. Like, certain board members, they're

992
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:13,965
very specialized in training, and they, like, will

993
00:36:13,965 --> 00:36:16,285
price a particular thing. And so they really

994
00:36:16,285 --> 00:36:16,785
know

995
00:36:17,085 --> 00:36:19,664
their stuff Right. On on

996
00:36:19,965 --> 00:36:22,224
like, they're real experts in that one thing.

997
00:36:22,445 --> 00:36:24,364
And I think At least. Yeah. Paintings and

998
00:36:24,364 --> 00:36:27,009
things like that are tough because Yes. Mhmm.

999
00:36:27,089 --> 00:36:28,609
You know, you don't know and you're just

1000
00:36:28,609 --> 00:36:31,009
taking We bought one, a really nice one

1001
00:36:31,009 --> 00:36:33,569
from you guys. It's the Saint George Reef

1002
00:36:33,569 --> 00:36:36,289
Lighthouse painting. Oh, one of our favorites. So

1003
00:36:36,449 --> 00:36:38,210
yeah. So we we have it hanging up.

1004
00:36:38,210 --> 00:36:40,769
It's really, really cool. And then we looked

1005
00:36:40,769 --> 00:36:42,954
up. You asked actually, we had we know

1006
00:36:42,954 --> 00:36:43,034
the

1007
00:36:43,994 --> 00:36:44,494
okay.

1008
00:36:44,795 --> 00:36:46,175
Saint George Reef

1009
00:36:46,635 --> 00:36:47,135
Lighthouse

1010
00:36:47,514 --> 00:36:48,014
Preservation

1011
00:36:48,315 --> 00:36:48,815
Society

1012
00:36:49,195 --> 00:36:51,355
president. He's a friend of ours. So,

1013
00:36:52,074 --> 00:36:54,300
and he said, yeah. They have several, you

1014
00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:55,739
know, people who draw it. And we asked

1015
00:36:55,739 --> 00:36:57,180
him if he knew the painter, and he

1016
00:36:57,180 --> 00:36:59,380
said, yes. She's a really known one. And

1017
00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:01,900
so Harry a local one. Barrymore, something like

1018
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:02,559
that. So,

1019
00:37:03,260 --> 00:37:05,099
yeah, we got a good find, and we

1020
00:37:05,099 --> 00:37:07,340
love that picture. Yeah. That's a cool picture.

1021
00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:09,039
Yeah. One of our very, very favorites.

1022
00:37:09,364 --> 00:37:11,444
So that's how things are priced. Everybody just

1023
00:37:11,444 --> 00:37:14,405
kind of you're ramped into clothing, sweaters or

1024
00:37:14,405 --> 00:37:16,484
this, coats or this, pants or this, shoes

1025
00:37:16,484 --> 00:37:18,264
or that. Yeah. Unless it's upscale.

1026
00:37:18,565 --> 00:37:20,505
I gotta say the amazing,

1027
00:37:20,885 --> 00:37:22,885
deals that you have, really, truly, if you

1028
00:37:22,885 --> 00:37:26,150
really look look close, there's really good good

1029
00:37:26,150 --> 00:37:28,150
deals. People are walking out there very happy.

1030
00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:29,929
So how many employees do you have?

1031
00:37:30,309 --> 00:37:30,809
Eight.

1032
00:37:31,269 --> 00:37:33,989
Eight employees. And how many volunteers? We have

1033
00:37:33,989 --> 00:37:34,489
about

1034
00:37:35,349 --> 00:37:37,289
I'd say maybe 10.

1035
00:37:38,324 --> 00:37:41,144
10 volunteers? We have 10 volunteers, but we

1036
00:37:41,284 --> 00:37:42,804
a lot of them are groups. We work

1037
00:37:42,804 --> 00:37:44,025
with, like, the day programs,

1038
00:37:46,324 --> 00:37:48,804
you know, Glen Haven, the TPP program from

1039
00:37:48,804 --> 00:37:49,625
the high school,

1040
00:37:50,450 --> 00:37:52,289
the PIP program. There's a lot of Yeah.

1041
00:37:52,369 --> 00:37:55,170
Programs Yeah. That, you know oh, so they

1042
00:37:55,170 --> 00:37:57,730
have there's, like, a group of people, and

1043
00:37:57,730 --> 00:37:58,630
then they send,

1044
00:37:59,250 --> 00:37:59,829
like, one

1045
00:38:00,130 --> 00:38:01,890
once a day or or once a week.

1046
00:38:01,890 --> 00:38:03,090
Or five of them come in at the

1047
00:38:03,090 --> 00:38:04,789
same time. Oh, wow.

1048
00:38:05,164 --> 00:38:07,804
Okay. Oh. The board are also volunteers. That's

1049
00:38:07,804 --> 00:38:10,125
for me too. They do a lot. Yeah.

1050
00:38:10,125 --> 00:38:11,405
We wouldn't be able to do it without

1051
00:38:11,405 --> 00:38:14,125
our board and our volunteers. Absolutely. We couldn't

1052
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:15,484
make it work. How do you get on

1053
00:38:15,484 --> 00:38:16,144
the board?

1054
00:38:16,764 --> 00:38:18,800
It's an election, usually. Yeah. I have people

1055
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,760
Oh, it's an election? Yeah. We have four

1056
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,380
on our board here at the KCOW.

1057
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,440
There's four of us on the or not

1058
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,960
me. I'm not on it, but there's, I

1059
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,039
think, four and sometimes five. But nice boards,

1060
00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:31,905
good boards are usually a lot more. Like,

1061
00:38:31,905 --> 00:38:33,824
at the art gallery in Crescent City, we

1062
00:38:33,824 --> 00:38:35,045
have 15.

1063
00:38:35,505 --> 00:38:37,445
Yeah. It's different.

1064
00:38:37,905 --> 00:38:39,105
Alright. I often see,

1065
00:38:40,704 --> 00:38:42,785
people bringing out bags of of clothes and

1066
00:38:42,785 --> 00:38:44,864
merchandise from that side thing. So we know

1067
00:38:44,864 --> 00:38:46,829
now that that is for the food banks

1068
00:38:47,070 --> 00:38:49,789
Mhmm. And needy people or whatever you need,

1069
00:38:49,789 --> 00:38:52,510
it's free. There's no charge there. I'll I'll

1070
00:38:52,510 --> 00:38:53,789

00:39:52,494 --> 00:39:54,574
there were no parking spots in the parking

1102
00:39:54,574 --> 00:39:55,074
lot.

1103
00:39:55,454 --> 00:39:56,815
We have parking in the back too. Yeah.

00:39:56,815 --> 00:39:58,655
Usually. So don't get scared. As long as

00:39:58,655 --> 00:40:00,174
the side gate is open Yeah. That's right.

1106
00:40:00,255 --> 00:40:02,094
Park in the back with us. Didn't happen.

1107
00:40:02,094 --> 00:40:03,614
I think it was on Friday. Yeah. It

1108
00:40:03,614 --> 00:40:05,614
was a it was so packed. Yeah. But

1109
00:40:05,614 --> 00:40:06,675
then it was closed.

1110
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:09,039
So what do you think is the best

1111
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:10,800
in your mind, what is the best part

1112
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,500
of your job? What do you like best?

1113
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:16,239
Our growing family at work. Yeah. We wouldn't

1114
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,079
be able to, you know, punch it if

1115
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:19,059
we didn't all

1116
00:40:20,015 --> 00:40:20,835
come together,

1117
00:40:21,454 --> 00:40:23,075
help each other. Come together

1118
00:40:23,454 --> 00:40:26,255
right now. Yeah. You guys a good vibe.

1119
00:40:26,255 --> 00:40:27,954
How about you, Mark? Yeah. It did. Everything.

1120
00:40:28,175 --> 00:40:30,575
Put together things, like, sometimes we'll just have

1121
00:40:30,575 --> 00:40:32,035
just the right thing for somebody.

1122
00:40:33,010 --> 00:40:35,329
Like, sometimes it's just kinda coincidence. We used

1123
00:40:35,329 --> 00:40:37,269
to have a customer named, Myrna,

1124
00:40:37,809 --> 00:40:39,329
and she would come in, needed something, and

1125
00:40:39,329 --> 00:40:41,650
she'd just find it. Just like a poster

1126
00:40:41,650 --> 00:40:42,930
oven or a crock pot. It just it

1127
00:40:42,930 --> 00:40:45,410
was amazing. Shower chair? Yeah. Exactly. Hair of

1128
00:40:45,410 --> 00:40:48,525
shoes. Yeah. It's just like a serendipity kind

1129
00:40:48,525 --> 00:40:50,204
of thing. This is what somebody needs and

1130
00:40:50,204 --> 00:40:51,885
then they they come in and then it's

1131
00:40:51,885 --> 00:40:54,284
there. So it's kind of interesting. Wow. I've

1132
00:40:54,284 --> 00:40:55,964
got a change of subjects real quickly. We

1133
00:40:55,964 --> 00:40:57,505
ran into you at the Banzai,

1134
00:40:59,085 --> 00:41:00,464
sale or was it at the fairgrounds?

1135
00:41:01,085 --> 00:41:02,900
With with with Houston. Houston. I also saw

1136
00:41:02,900 --> 00:41:04,460
them at a bonsai one time. Well, I

1137
00:41:04,460 --> 00:41:07,019
think you both it was the double whammy.

1138
00:41:07,019 --> 00:41:08,380
And at the do you go with the

1139
00:41:08,380 --> 00:41:10,380
with the fair and then the bonsais on

1140
00:41:10,380 --> 00:41:12,300
one side and the fuchsia? Like, you share

1141
00:41:12,300 --> 00:41:15,019
a Do you have fuchsia bonsais? That's one

1142
00:41:15,019 --> 00:41:16,780
of the categories in the show. And there's

1143
00:41:16,780 --> 00:41:17,519
some species,

1144
00:41:19,275 --> 00:41:21,034
that they naturally have a very small leaf

1145
00:41:21,034 --> 00:41:22,795
and a very small flower. And so even

1146
00:41:22,795 --> 00:41:25,034
though those plants can grow, like, eight feet

1147
00:41:25,034 --> 00:41:25,534
tall,

1148
00:41:25,994 --> 00:41:27,675
that's the kind that is the best for

1149
00:41:27,675 --> 00:41:28,974
making into a bonsai.

1150
00:41:29,994 --> 00:41:30,394
And,

1151
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,440
maybe you guys will have room for some

1152
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,199
plant like that in your new yard. Yeah.

1153
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:37,119
We wanna we wanna get a bonsai fuchsia

1154
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:38,800
people on the show. We also wanna get,

1155
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:39,539
beekeepers.

1156
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,739
Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Those would be interesting

1157
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,394
things. Alright, Ashley. What is your least liked

1158
00:41:45,695 --> 00:41:48,094
thing about your job? What did you least

1159
00:41:48,094 --> 00:41:48,594
like?

1160
00:41:48,894 --> 00:41:50,414
What did you get away with it? Because

1161
00:41:50,414 --> 00:41:52,815
maybe the Oh, do oh, she's hiding behind

1162
00:41:52,815 --> 00:41:53,555
her jacket.

1163
00:41:54,575 --> 00:41:56,974
Say it. Say it. Be brave. I don't

1164
00:41:56,974 --> 00:41:58,994
think any of us like sorting underpants.

1165
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:00,500
Sorting?

1166
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,780
Yeah. We what what do we call

1167
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:05,940
what do we call the underpants?

1168
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:07,460
Chonies.

1169
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,599
Chonies. We we have the name Chonies. What's

1170
00:42:09,599 --> 00:42:11,539
the Chonies? That's the underwear. Underwear.

1171
00:42:12,135 --> 00:42:13,175
Also I mean, you just made that up?

1172
00:42:13,175 --> 00:42:15,094
Yeah. I we had an employee that no.

1173
00:42:15,094 --> 00:42:16,614
We had an employee a while back that

1174
00:42:16,614 --> 00:42:18,135
used that word and we just kinda stuck.

1175
00:42:18,135 --> 00:42:19,594
Choney? Sort the Choney's.

1176
00:42:20,054 --> 00:42:20,954
Sort the Choney's.

1177
00:42:22,215 --> 00:42:24,869
So you do occasionally get some not claimed,

1178
00:42:24,869 --> 00:42:27,029
then that kinda goes into another band called

1179
00:42:27,029 --> 00:42:29,670
the garbage bread. Yes. There there's some stuff

1180
00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:30,889
that's just like

1181
00:42:31,429 --> 00:42:31,929
biohazard

1182
00:42:32,309 --> 00:42:34,889
kind of semi biohazard. Wow. And so Wow.

1183
00:42:35,589 --> 00:42:36,824
Right. Biohazard.

1184
00:42:37,525 --> 00:42:38,804
It's fine. But if you need a clean

1185
00:42:38,804 --> 00:42:41,285
pair, we give clothes vouchers out. We we

1186
00:42:41,285 --> 00:42:43,605

1187
00:42:43,605 --> 00:42:45,765
and he found a leather jacket. This was

1188
00:42:45,765 --> 00:42:47,285
not here. This is down the Bay Area.

1189
00:42:47,285 --> 00:42:48,804

00:42:48,804 --> 00:42:50,239

1196
00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:01,724
I

1197
00:43:02,429 --> 00:43:03,485

All there's a whole racks of those. We

1209
00:43:24,050 --> 00:43:25,570
had an employee in the past, and she

1210
00:43:25,570 --> 00:43:28,309
was working on purses. She found, like, $700

1211

over a few purses. And it's, yeah. It's

1212

00:43:32,574 --> 00:43:34,655
sad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, it's

1214
00:43:34,655 --> 00:43:35,934
not like you can't give them back. You

1215
00:43:35,934 --> 00:43:37,454
don't know where they came from. That's true.

1216
00:43:37,454 --> 00:43:39,554
Yeah. So you put it in the till.

ever thought about,

1221
00:43:48,449 --> 00:43:49,569
you might one day,

1222
00:43:49,969 --> 00:43:52,469
expand into a bigger facility? Because you're

1223
00:43:53,489 --> 00:43:55,809
I mean I'd I'd love to. It's not

1224
00:43:55,809 --> 00:43:58,085
my call, but it's, like, because they own

1225
00:43:58,085 --> 00:43:59,545
the business. Yeah. Oh,

1226
00:43:59,844 --> 00:44:02,005
oh, and they deployment. On the location. Why

1227
00:44:02,005 --> 00:44:03,605
don't you talk about the expansion that we

1228
00:44:03,605 --> 00:44:05,284
did in the past? Yeah. We we expanded.

1229
00:44:05,284 --> 00:44:07,605
We've had several expansions. Yeah. So that furniture

1230
00:44:07,605 --> 00:44:09,144
area that you see all that furniture,

1231
00:44:09,449 --> 00:44:12,730
that was expanded out. Good. Our backroom was

1232
00:44:12,730 --> 00:44:14,750
expanded out. So we had more room.

1233
00:44:15,050 --> 00:44:17,150
Yes. I would love to go upwards now.

1234
00:44:17,609 --> 00:44:18,989
Oh, that'd be cool. With elevators.

1235
00:44:20,010 --> 00:44:20,510
Yeah.

1236
00:44:20,969 --> 00:44:23,785
It it's like the the garage too that

1237
00:44:23,785 --> 00:44:25,304
did a lot of renovation. It used to

1238
00:44:25,304 --> 00:44:26,684
be that we had to

1239
00:44:27,704 --> 00:44:30,344
put the truck into the garage. Like, I

1240
00:44:30,344 --> 00:44:32,505
don't know what the requirement was or something,

1241
00:44:32,505 --> 00:44:34,184
and then they built it isn't just we've

1242
00:44:34,184 --> 00:44:35,785
had the garage as long as I've worked

1243
00:44:35,785 --> 00:44:37,789
there, but then they did a whole upper

1244
00:44:37,789 --> 00:44:38,989
floor and, like, a very

1245
00:44:39,869 --> 00:44:41,869
it when I would take the holiday stuff

1246
00:44:41,869 --> 00:44:43,250
in the past up to the

1247
00:44:44,190 --> 00:44:47,230
the attic, the stairs were so steep. It

1248
00:44:47,230 --> 00:44:49,550
was kinda semi dangerous because you've got this

1249
00:44:49,550 --> 00:44:51,714
big heavy box. Yeah. Sure. And it just

1250
00:44:51,795 --> 00:44:52,295
it

1251
00:44:52,755 --> 00:44:55,154
was real Yeah. They're Like, very Concentrated.

1252
00:44:55,554 --> 00:44:56,295
High angled

1253
00:44:56,675 --> 00:44:58,514
stairs. But now we have a real like,

1254
00:44:58,514 --> 00:44:59,734
a we have a lift

1255
00:45:00,195 --> 00:45:02,114
that, does need some work on the lift,

1256
00:45:02,114 --> 00:45:03,954
and then we have a more gradual staircase,

1257
00:45:03,954 --> 00:45:05,280
and we have a lot more room upstairs.

1258
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,480
Truck anymore either. Right? Yep. That's true. Great.

1259
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,140
Good good elevators. Timoo is offering new elevators

1260
00:45:11,519 --> 00:45:12,420
to be installed.

1261
00:45:13,039 --> 00:45:14,880
Timoo. It's so small, but it's it's good

1262
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:15,380
enough.

1263
00:45:16,559 --> 00:45:18,800
Yeah. Where are we? So you are the

1264
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,300
only

1265
00:45:20,105 --> 00:45:22,444
real thrift store now in Crescent City.

1266
00:45:22,984 --> 00:45:25,545
Right? Well, there's other stores that call themselves

1267
00:45:25,545 --> 00:45:27,484
thrift store, but they're not they're for profit

1268
00:45:28,344 --> 00:45:30,625
businesses. Well, okay. Okay. Keep talking.

1269
00:45:31,065 --> 00:45:33,224
Five zero one c three thrift store. That's

1270
00:45:33,224 --> 00:45:35,239
your question. Oh, darn it.

1271
00:45:35,699 --> 00:45:38,579
Shoot. So this, as you possibly know, is

1272
00:45:38,579 --> 00:45:42,099
gonna change soon because hospice wants to open

1273
00:45:42,099 --> 00:45:43,960
a thrift store downtown.

1274
00:45:45,714 --> 00:45:47,474
You heard this? Never heard. No. No. So

1275
00:45:47,474 --> 00:45:49,074
they've already got the location. I think it's

1276
00:45:49,074 --> 00:45:50,694
on 3rd. I think it's downtown.

1277
00:45:51,074 --> 00:45:53,155
I we know Jamie. She's been on the

1278
00:45:53,155 --> 00:45:54,434
show multiple times. The,

1279
00:45:55,394 --> 00:45:58,179
president or the CEO of the hospice. Coastal

1280
00:45:58,179 --> 00:46:00,420
hospice. Coastal hospice in Crest City. So, yeah,

1281
00:46:00,420 --> 00:46:02,659
there's gonna be a new thrift store, and

1282
00:46:02,659 --> 00:46:04,260
it's a true 501C3.

1283
00:46:04,260 --> 00:46:06,340
Wow. So the more the merrier. Right? It

1284
00:46:06,340 --> 00:46:08,260
brings more people to the area. Right. And

1285
00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:10,659
that's not like you lose anything. It's more

1286
00:46:10,659 --> 00:46:13,144
like thrifters come down here and look for

1287
00:46:13,545 --> 00:46:14,445
yeah. So

1288
00:46:14,985 --> 00:46:16,824
you you wanna have Here we got Goodwill

1289
00:46:16,824 --> 00:46:19,224
and Brookie. Here. So we we don't just

1290
00:46:19,224 --> 00:46:21,304
say, yeah. And that's good. Right? You go

1291
00:46:21,304 --> 00:46:23,385
from there, you go there because everybody has

1292
00:46:23,385 --> 00:46:25,485
a little bit of something different. So that's

1293
00:46:25,690 --> 00:46:27,929
good news, I think, that there's gonna be

1294
00:46:27,929 --> 00:46:30,409
another Yeah. It always helps people. And then

1295
00:46:30,409 --> 00:46:32,909
I know your Eureka has plenty of

1296
00:46:34,090 --> 00:46:35,929
them. But for the size, how many people

1297
00:46:35,929 --> 00:46:37,974
live in Eureka? A lot of people. Taller

1298
00:46:37,974 --> 00:46:40,474
friends that are listening, you know, there. Yeah.

1299
00:46:41,414 --> 00:46:43,335
Okay. So the hospice is gonna open. I

1300
00:46:43,335 --> 00:46:45,594
think Jamie said it's gonna open fairly soon.

1301
00:46:46,214 --> 00:46:48,614
Yeah? I don't know. Uh-huh. Okay. Are there

1302
00:46:48,614 --> 00:46:51,420
any changes planned in the near future? What's

1303
00:46:51,420 --> 00:46:52,800
the latest thing? Anything

1304
00:46:53,339 --> 00:46:55,359
that's gonna be interesting or

1305
00:46:55,819 --> 00:46:58,400
no expansion, you said? There's a No expansion.

1306
00:46:58,460 --> 00:47:00,000
We kind of finished that up.

1307
00:47:01,099 --> 00:47:02,940
It's fairly pretty new and within the last,

1308
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:05,065
I'd say, five years that we expanded, you

1309
00:47:05,065 --> 00:47:06,744
know, five years ago. I would say we

1310
00:47:06,744 --> 00:47:08,824
did quite a bit of expansion on the

1311
00:47:08,824 --> 00:47:10,985
Freeside food bank. It used to be, I

1312
00:47:10,985 --> 00:47:12,585
don't know, that three people could get in

1313
00:47:12,585 --> 00:47:14,105
there. It's a small room. It was a

1314
00:47:14,105 --> 00:47:15,625
real small room. And then when we did

1315
00:47:15,625 --> 00:47:16,284
the renovation

1316
00:47:16,824 --> 00:47:18,824
to expand the for, like, the furniture area

1317
00:47:18,824 --> 00:47:20,204
and the processing area,

1318
00:47:20,670 --> 00:47:23,389
they expanded it. And then we the new

1319
00:47:23,389 --> 00:47:25,889
board, they expanded it even more. So it's

1320
00:47:26,030 --> 00:47:29,089
it's, like, reasonable size, and it's really good.

1321
00:47:29,550 --> 00:47:32,109
Like, lights is much more open. It's, you

1322
00:47:32,109 --> 00:47:34,875
know, it's just much more welcoming than Right.

1323
00:47:34,954 --> 00:47:36,715
Because it used when I first started working,

1324
00:47:36,715 --> 00:47:38,235
it just it was small. You had to

1325
00:47:38,235 --> 00:47:40,394
kind of It's like a closet. Yeah. Kind

1326
00:47:40,394 --> 00:47:41,994
of. Wow. And now it's it's a whole

1327
00:47:41,994 --> 00:47:43,355
room. You didn't see it. And the and

1328
00:47:43,355 --> 00:47:45,355
the furniture part does not seem to be

1329
00:47:45,355 --> 00:47:47,289
an expensive. It's just part of Yeah. Oh,

1330
00:47:47,289 --> 00:47:49,289
that's really well done. I did not realize

1331
00:47:49,289 --> 00:47:51,449
that. What how long you've been working there,

1332
00:47:51,449 --> 00:47:52,589
Mark? Since,

1333
00:47:53,130 --> 00:47:53,980
November

1334
00:47:53,980 --> 00:47:54,829
2013.

1335
00:47:55,289 --> 00:47:57,369
Oh, wow. Wow. Yep. I you know, I

1336
00:47:57,369 --> 00:47:59,304
haven't seen anybody I haven't seen a big

1337
00:47:59,304 --> 00:48:01,385
change of any of them points. Everybody seems

1338
00:48:01,385 --> 00:48:02,664
to be very happy. How about you? How

1339
00:48:02,664 --> 00:48:05,144
long you been there? I've been there since

1340
00:48:05,144 --> 00:48:06,605
August 2014.

1341
00:48:06,824 --> 00:48:09,784
So right behind him. Wow. Behind him. And

1342
00:48:09,784 --> 00:48:11,144
are you the two of the longest,

1343
00:48:12,184 --> 00:48:14,239
we are. Yes. Yes. I think we're probably

1344
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,420
the two longest that have ever worked there.

1345
00:48:16,639 --> 00:48:19,359
Probably. Yeah. Well, you all enjoy it, I

1346
00:48:19,359 --> 00:48:21,920
gotta say. Really, everybody enjoys it, and everybody

1347
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,800
has, always heads up and and nice. That's

1348
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:25,539
my experience.

1349
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,539
Yeah. We love it. We love our customers.

1350
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,775
We love our people that come to the

1351
00:48:29,775 --> 00:48:32,734
free side. We love the people that donate.

1352
00:48:32,734 --> 00:48:34,414
You know? It's all about community. It's all

1353
00:48:34,414 --> 00:48:36,434
about coming together, helping our community.

1354
00:48:37,454 --> 00:48:38,594
And even some

1355
00:48:39,775 --> 00:48:42,655
groups have outings to to there. Right? Because

1356
00:48:42,655 --> 00:48:45,000
it's a safe place. Yeah. When when you

1357
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,140
go around and people say, hello. Hello. Yeah.

1358
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,280
Our day program. Are you the day program?

1359
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,519
Yeah. Yes. Yes. One of our day programs.

1360
00:48:52,519 --> 00:48:54,920
Day programs. We always see the same people.

1361
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,079
Yeah. Always happen a good a good time.

1362
00:48:57,079 --> 00:48:58,599
Now I'm seeing the same guy in in

1363
00:48:58,599 --> 00:48:59,099
Walmart

1364
00:48:59,414 --> 00:49:00,614
and I always say I met him at

1365
00:49:00,614 --> 00:49:02,934
the thrift store. There's one guy, I don't

1366
00:49:02,934 --> 00:49:04,535
need to say his name, but he's an

1367
00:49:04,535 --> 00:49:07,094
older guy. He's always pushing around a cart

1368
00:49:07,094 --> 00:49:09,175
full of stuff. This guy is coming in

1369
00:49:09,175 --> 00:49:10,855
every day, every time I see him. He's

1370
00:49:10,855 --> 00:49:12,614
pushing around. I think his car I won't

1371
00:49:12,614 --> 00:49:13,594
say his name, but

1372
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,199
does that ring a bell to an older

1373
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:17,920
guy? Yeah. So you guys, I appreciate, hey,

1374
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,859
Carl wants to know whatever his name is.

1375
00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:21,519
How much is this and how much is

1376
00:49:21,519 --> 00:49:23,139
that? And everything's priced,

1377
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:24,739
so reasonably.

1378
00:49:25,679 --> 00:49:28,260
It's fun to go into this thing. Okay,

1379
00:49:28,554 --> 00:49:29,994
Wanna ask the next question? Where do they

1380
00:49:29,994 --> 00:49:31,914
see themselves? Okay. Where do you see yourself,

1381
00:49:31,914 --> 00:49:33,275
Mark? Where do you see yourself in a

1382
00:49:33,275 --> 00:49:35,135
couple years from now? I'm not sure.

1383
00:49:35,675 --> 00:49:37,434
I I don't know. Doing the fuchsias or

1384
00:49:37,434 --> 00:49:38,894
hanging out at the thrift store?

1385
00:49:39,275 --> 00:49:42,074
Probably both. Okay. Good. Yeah. How about you,

1386
00:49:42,074 --> 00:49:42,574
Ashley?

1387
00:49:42,980 --> 00:49:45,059
I see myself still doing the same thing.

1388
00:49:45,059 --> 00:49:46,659
Doing the same thing? Well, you seem like

1389
00:49:46,659 --> 00:49:49,299
you're really very, very happy. I love our

1390
00:49:49,299 --> 00:49:51,139
store. Yeah. That is cool. You know, when

1391
00:49:51,139 --> 00:49:52,579
I leave Crescent City and I go out

1392
00:49:52,579 --> 00:49:54,739
of town, I go to thrift stores. You

1393
00:49:54,739 --> 00:49:56,579
know? I I love seeing stuff like that.

1394
00:49:56,579 --> 00:49:58,019
I'm a collector as well. You know, I

1395
00:49:58,019 --> 00:50:00,724
like little knickknacks. I like little things and,

1396
00:50:01,025 --> 00:50:02,864
you know, I love our store. Yeah. It's

1397
00:50:02,864 --> 00:50:04,625
good to see also what other people are

1398
00:50:04,625 --> 00:50:07,264
doing, what ideas they have. Like, we didn't

1399
00:50:07,264 --> 00:50:08,464
used to have like, you know how we

1400
00:50:08,464 --> 00:50:09,605
have these long racks?

1401
00:50:10,065 --> 00:50:12,644
Somebody we bought those from another thrift store.

1402
00:50:12,784 --> 00:50:14,449
We used to have just round racks through

1403
00:50:14,449 --> 00:50:16,769
the whole store, but those long straight ones

1404
00:50:16,769 --> 00:50:18,769
just let us have a lot more in

1405
00:50:18,769 --> 00:50:21,030
the store. It's just very much more efficient.

1406
00:50:21,329 --> 00:50:24,130
Yeah. We're like You're also very helpful. Today,

1407
00:50:24,130 --> 00:50:25,650
I checked out or was it yesterday, I

1408
00:50:25,650 --> 00:50:28,635
bought that that figure, really kind of exotic

1409
00:50:28,635 --> 00:50:29,135
looking,

1410
00:50:29,914 --> 00:50:31,035
resin figure of,

1411
00:50:31,835 --> 00:50:33,835
the Ivy lady. And you said, oh, by

1412
00:50:33,835 --> 00:50:35,595
the way, her hand is broken. I had

1413
00:50:35,595 --> 00:50:37,755
no idea it was broken, but it's hidden.

1414
00:50:37,755 --> 00:50:39,369
You can't see it. So Yeah. You always

1415
00:50:39,369 --> 00:50:41,130
test it. You always say if it's not

1416
00:50:41,130 --> 00:50:43,530
on, it's because then that's very nice. Everybody

1417
00:50:43,530 --> 00:50:46,570
misses. Right. Everybody misses. But you do say

1418
00:50:46,570 --> 00:50:47,230
it. Even

1419
00:50:47,769 --> 00:50:49,849
even small little things. Did you notice there's

1420
00:50:49,849 --> 00:50:52,105
a scratch or something? So that's very

1421
00:50:52,484 --> 00:50:55,045
nice. It doesn't necessarily stop the sale. No.

1422
00:50:55,045 --> 00:50:56,964
People people like to put stuff in their

1423
00:50:56,964 --> 00:50:58,804
yard too. Yeah. If it isn't in the

1424
00:50:58,804 --> 00:51:00,644
house, they may just, like, hang put dishes

1425
00:51:00,644 --> 00:51:02,885
in the yard. Garden. Yeah. So And you

1426
00:51:02,885 --> 00:51:04,724
have Yeah. How many how many glasses is

1427
00:51:04,724 --> 00:51:06,244
it? Six for a dollar? Five for a

1428
00:51:06,244 --> 00:51:08,300
dollar? Six for a dollar. Dollar. Six for

1429
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:11,099
a dollar, folks. Yeah. And all sorts of

1430
00:51:11,099 --> 00:51:11,599
glasses.

1431
00:51:12,380 --> 00:51:15,739
Vases, glasses. Vases. Plates. Plates. Like, five or

1432
00:51:15,739 --> 00:51:16,940
six for a dollar? Six for a dollar.

1433
00:51:16,940 --> 00:51:18,300
And you can mix and match. It can

1434
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:20,780
be like two mugs, two glasses, two plates.

1435
00:51:20,780 --> 00:51:22,380
Oh, I didn't know that. It doesn't have

1436
00:51:22,655 --> 00:51:24,894
don't have to overwhelm yourself with plates. Just

1437
00:51:24,894 --> 00:51:26,414
bowls, we don't do it because we don't

1438
00:51:26,414 --> 00:51:28,414
get a lot of bowls. Yeah. So we

1439
00:51:28,494 --> 00:51:30,014
the bowls is not 6 for a buck.

1440
00:51:30,014 --> 00:51:32,255
Right. We never used to have the six

1441
00:51:32,255 --> 00:51:33,074
for a dollar.

1442
00:51:33,375 --> 00:51:35,214
We did it, like, when stuff got a

1443
00:51:35,214 --> 00:51:37,750
little too high. Yeah. But after a certain

1444
00:51:37,750 --> 00:51:39,750
point, we just people are so generous. We

1445
00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:41,670
get so much dishware that we just kept

1446
00:51:41,670 --> 00:51:43,190
it at 6 for a dollar. It's probably

1447
00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:45,109
been that way for Couple years now. Quite

1448
00:51:45,190 --> 00:51:46,949
Yeah. And that Like four, five. I've picked

1449
00:51:46,949 --> 00:51:48,710
out three pieces and it's a dollar 50.

1450
00:51:48,710 --> 00:51:50,465
I go, wait a minute. It's a dollar

1451
00:51:50,465 --> 00:51:53,184
$50.50 cents a piece. So buy six of

1452
00:51:53,184 --> 00:51:55,184
them. Yeah. And I get so it makes

1453
00:51:55,184 --> 00:51:57,045
us hoarders. He did tell me,

1454
00:51:58,304 --> 00:51:59,744
he did tell me yesterday when I was

1455
00:51:59,744 --> 00:52:01,025
training. I said, by the way, I wanna

1456
00:52:01,025 --> 00:52:02,965
make sure that you know, you're broken, Jack.

1457
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,639
Okay. That was a joke. I don't get

1458
00:52:05,639 --> 00:52:07,639
it. I'm broken. I'm broke. The pieces aren't

1459
00:52:07,639 --> 00:52:10,039
broken. I'm broken. Okay. That's not that was

1460
00:52:10,039 --> 00:52:12,539
a bad joke. That was super bad. No.

1461
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,159
How do people get a hold of you

1462
00:52:15,159 --> 00:52:17,005
and where are you located? Tell us your

1463
00:52:17,005 --> 00:52:19,405
own directions how to get there. 1440

1464
00:52:19,405 --> 00:52:22,125
Parkway Drive in Carson City, across the street

1465
00:52:22,125 --> 00:52:24,045
from the DMV, next to the old highway

1466
00:52:24,045 --> 00:52:26,144
patrol station, which is now Caltrans.

1467
00:52:26,844 --> 00:52:29,139
You know, when you when we're going. Okay,

1468
00:52:29,139 --> 00:52:31,059
so we have this little thingy in the

1469
00:52:31,059 --> 00:52:32,980
car. It's like a GPS, but it comes

1470
00:52:32,980 --> 00:52:35,239
with a car or something. So it it

1471
00:52:35,619 --> 00:52:37,780
plots out where you go when you go

1472
00:52:37,780 --> 00:52:39,800
there more often. You know? Most frequently. Yeah.

1473
00:52:39,860 --> 00:52:42,119
That's interesting. And it says, like,

1474
00:52:42,605 --> 00:52:44,684
it always said when now we were going,

1475
00:52:44,684 --> 00:52:46,625
it says the what did you say the

1476
00:52:47,164 --> 00:52:49,724
fire station, not fire police station. Highway patrol.

1477
00:52:49,724 --> 00:52:51,724
Highway patrol, it says. And there is no

1478
00:52:51,724 --> 00:52:54,364
highway patrol. That But how's the Department of

1479
00:52:54,364 --> 00:52:56,940
Transportation? They were next door. Yeah. And still

1480
00:52:56,940 --> 00:52:58,619
on there. We always go out and say,

1481
00:52:58,619 --> 00:53:00,460
why why does it say highway patrol? I

1482
00:53:00,460 --> 00:53:02,380
didn't know that. So Yeah. They're located now

1483
00:53:02,380 --> 00:53:04,639
off Summer Lane at the hospital in Newmark.

1484
00:53:04,699 --> 00:53:06,859
Yeah. And then there's you're right across the

1485
00:53:06,859 --> 00:53:08,859
street from Adi Midam. Right? Is that and

1486
00:53:08,859 --> 00:53:11,034
that's a rest home or a a what

1487
00:53:11,034 --> 00:53:11,994
do you call it? Yeah. What do you

1488
00:53:12,315 --> 00:53:15,355
Assisted living. Assisted living home. Yeah. Mhmm. So

1489
00:53:15,355 --> 00:53:17,355
that's the best way to find it. Have

1490
00:53:17,355 --> 00:53:19,594
a website or a phone number? We don't

1491
00:53:19,594 --> 00:53:21,275

1492
00:53:21,275 --> 00:53:21,934
it anymore.

1493
00:53:23,429 --> 00:53:25,510
Yeah. Because once you know it, you know

1494
00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:26,889
it, and you don't need any

1495
00:53:27,190 --> 00:53:29,349
more advertisement because It may be that we

1496
00:53:29,349 --> 00:53:31,929

00:53:32,150 --> 00:53:35,190

00:53:56,869 --> 00:53:58,550
turn left, go over the freeway, and then

1508
00:53:58,550 --> 00:54:00,010
take that first right.

1586
00:56:49,630 --> 00:56:51,630
Alright. What else, doc? K. I have a

1587
00:56:51,630 --> 00:56:53,969
bumper sticker. I break for thrift stores.

1588
00:56:54,349 --> 00:56:56,109
Oh, I like that one. That one is

1589
00:56:56,109 --> 00:56:56,609
cool.

1590
00:56:57,355 --> 00:56:59,355
Doctor Gigi thinks I'm so weird when I

1591
00:56:59,355 --> 00:57:01,355
wear a helmet every time we eat. But

1592
00:57:01,355 --> 00:57:02,715
I'm just playing it safe on my new

1593
00:57:02,715 --> 00:57:03,535
crash diet.

1594
00:57:05,515 --> 00:57:08,635
Cool. K? Alright, doc. Why pay full price

1595
00:57:08,635 --> 00:57:10,655
when you can pay thrift prices?

1596
00:57:11,409 --> 00:57:13,429
That's true. Right? I mean, seriously,

1597
00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:14,710
we should all

1598
00:57:15,090 --> 00:57:17,889
shop thrift stores first. Check there first before

1599
00:57:17,889 --> 00:57:19,829
you go elsewhere. Right? Right. Yeah.

1600
00:57:20,369 --> 00:57:22,210
What's dead and I love this joke. I

1601
00:57:22,210 --> 00:57:24,610
keep saying it. What's dead and sits in

1602
00:57:24,610 --> 00:57:26,389
a closet? Do either of you know?

1603
00:57:27,644 --> 00:57:28,364
It's the,

1604
00:57:28,844 --> 00:57:31,985
hide and hide and seek champion from 1995.

1605
00:57:32,765 --> 00:57:33,265
Okay.

1606
00:57:36,045 --> 00:57:39,324
Okay. Pretty bad. Okay. So Helen Mirren said

1607
00:57:39,324 --> 00:57:41,565
some of my favorite pieces are from thrift

1608
00:57:41,565 --> 00:57:43,789
shops. If Helen Mirren can do it Yeah.

1609
00:57:43,789 --> 00:57:46,610
But who's Mirren? That's at the Helen Mirren?

1610
00:57:46,670 --> 00:57:48,349
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. My

1611
00:57:48,349 --> 00:57:51,230
whole about Helen Mirren, she's a dame. She

00:58:07,505 --> 00:58:09,179
seen too many of them get elected.
