00:00:00,948 --> 00:00:02,883
When I was younger,
third grade,
2
00:00:02,917 --> 00:00:05,553
I thought that when you
listened to the radio,
3
00:00:05,587 --> 00:00:11,058
The bands were actually in there
4
00:00:11,092 --> 00:00:14,126
That's a side of him we rarely
ever get to see, naive bry.
5
00:00:14,161 --> 00:00:15,461
-That's cute, isn't it?
- Yeah.
6
00:00:15,496 --> 00:00:17,163
Doesn't suit you right now,
but still...
7
00:00:17,198 --> 00:00:19,365
So used to broken, damaged...
8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,436
[laughter]
but I also thought that
9
00:00:21,437 --> 00:00:23,460
when I got older,
the way I wanted to die...
10
00:00:23,470 --> 00:00:25,037
Was in a horror movie.
11
00:00:25,072 --> 00:00:27,607
Because I thought that
the people actually died.
12
00:00:27,641 --> 00:00:29,774
I was like, if you can
choose a way to die,
13
00:00:29,809 --> 00:00:31,042
I guess that's what I'll do.
14
00:00:31,077 --> 00:00:32,977
Like, I'll volunteer
for a horror movie.
15
00:00:33,012 --> 00:00:35,146
You thought the story
was fake...
16
00:00:35,181 --> 00:00:36,981
Yeah.
You just thought the actors...
17
00:00:37,016 --> 00:00:38,684
I thought the deaths
were real, yeah.
18
00:00:38,718 --> 00:00:41,920
So snuff films were pretty
much a hollywood institution.
19

So what's been going on

00:01:31,768 --> 00:01:34,068
Sometimes, you know,
at the Stash,
30
00:01:34,102 --> 00:01:36,103
You get those customers
that come in
31
00:01:36,138 --> 00:01:38,706
That send a shiver
down your spine.
32
00:01:39,441 --> 00:01:40,874
Hey, guys. How ya doin'?
33
00:01:40,875 --> 00:01:42,281
What do you got?
34
00:01:42,282 --> 00:01:44,682
Okay, I have a Star Trek book
35
00:01:44,683 --> 00:01:48,383
in blue prints, from 1975.
36
00:01:55,956 --> 00:01:57,491
I'm definitely a Star Wars guy.
37
00:01:57,525 --> 00:01:58,958
I never could get
into Star Trek.
38
00:01:58,993 --> 00:02:01,094
See, this
is too much effort, man.
39
00:02:01,128 --> 00:02:03,764
If you were to design
your own Trek uniform...
40
00:02:03,798 --> 00:02:05,230
- Mm-hmm.
- This is all the information
41
00:02:05,265 --> 00:02:11,136
You need to make your own
Star Trek female uniform.
42
00:02:11,171 --> 00:02:13,138
Well, I'm not really
a Star Trek fan...
43
00:02:13,173 --> 00:02:14,840
- No?
- But my dad was.
44
00:02:14,874 --> 00:02:16,642
He passed away
about ten years ago,
45
00:02:16,677 --> 00:02:18,644
So I'm looking to get rid of it.
46
00:02:18,679 --> 00:02:20,445
So you've had 'em
for this long.
47
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:24,449
Why you lookin'
to move 'em now?
48
00:02:24,483 --> 00:02:27,385
Some unusual circumstances
in the house,
49
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:29,721
Some, like, noises
and weird shadows,
50
00:02:29,755 --> 00:02:32,924
So, um, I'm kind of thinking
maybe it has something to do
51
00:02:32,958 --> 00:02:37,761
With some of his collections
being hidden,
52
00:02:37,796 --> 00:02:40,331
In someone's hands
who would appreciate it.
53
00:02:40,365 --> 00:02:41,532
- Wait a minute.
- I know.
54
00:02:41,566 --> 00:02:42,733
She's trying
to pass the curse on to you.
55
00:02:42,767 --> 00:02:44,935
[laughs]
56
00:02:44,969 --> 00:02:47,504
You deal with the most
interesting customers, man.
57
00:02:47,539 --> 00:02:51,475
I go to the food store.
I buy stuff.

00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:53,676

that I have a connection."

I find it strange.
A loved one passes on.
61
00:02:57,848 --> 00:02:59,315
- Yeah.
- You have something
62
00:02:59,350 --> 00:03:01,150
That connects them
to your world
63
00:03:01,184 --> 00:03:04,454
Where they come back
to visit you.

65
00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:10,058
Wait a second: You're telling
me that your dad passed on,
66
00:03:10,092 --> 00:03:11,526
and you think he's haunting you.
67
00:03:11,561 --> 00:03:13,428
- He's haunting me.
- To get you to sell this stuff.
68
00:03:13,463 --> 00:03:14,796
To sell these items.
69
00:03:14,831 --> 00:03:17,332
After my dad passed away
and these things were happening,
70
00:03:17,367 --> 00:03:21,035
I started my own
paranormal investigation group,
71
00:03:24,539 --> 00:03:27,775
So you're a modern day
Ghostbuster?
72
00:03:27,809 --> 00:03:32,246
You could say that.
[laughs]
73
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,383
- Oh, we've experienced orbs.
- Orbs?
74
00:03:35,417 --> 00:03:36,917
And shaking, and--
75
00:03:36,918 --> 00:03:37,918
That's always going
on at my house.
76
00:03:41,255 --> 00:03:43,923
All right, so you're lookin'
to move these today, huh?
77
00:03:43,924 --> 00:03:46,092
Yeah, I'm lookin'
to get about $50 for it.
78
00:03:52,366 --> 00:03:54,868
I'll give you 10 bucks
for the lot.
79
00:03:54,902 --> 00:03:58,069
What about halfway and do $20?
80
00:03:58,104 --> 00:03:59,905
How 'bout $15?
81
00:03:59,939 --> 00:04:03,241
$15.
82
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:04,943
- I could do $15.
- $15?
83
00:04:04,977 --> 00:04:06,578
- Yeah.
- All right.
84
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:10,181
This store is clean.
[laughter]
85
00:04:10,216 --> 00:04:12,784
Did you ever experience
anything in the store?
86
00:04:12,818 --> 00:04:16,387
Um, there was a time
a couple years ago.
87
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:17,955
I had locked the store,
and I had went home,
88
00:04:17,989 --> 00:04:20,491
And I realized
I'd forgotten my phone,
89
00:04:20,526 --> 00:04:24,729
So I had to come back
to the Stash,
90
00:04:24,763 --> 00:04:26,263
Down in the basement.
91
00:04:26,298 --> 00:04:29,365
There's a wall downstairs
that has these signatures
92
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,902
From hundreds of years ago.
93
00:04:31,936 --> 00:04:35,338
Oddly enough, my phone was right
next to some of those bricks
94
00:04:35,372 --> 00:04:38,074
On a box, and when I went
to grab it, though,
95
00:04:38,108 --> 00:04:41,244
I heard this weird voice
96
00:04:41,278 --> 00:04:42,813
Kind of, like, gurgle out
my name.
97
00:04:42,847 --> 00:04:43,914
Whoa!
And that's when I got the hell
98
00:04:43,948 --> 00:04:45,481
Outta there.
Is that weird?
99
00:04:45,515 --> 00:04:47,917
- Yeah, I'd say so.
- [laughs]
100
00:04:47,951 --> 00:04:50,986
Would you have any interest
in giving the store,
101
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:52,655
A once over with your equipment.
I actually have some in my car right now.
102
00:04:52,689 --> 00:04:53,889
- Really?
- I can go downstairs
103
00:04:53,924 --> 00:04:56,525
- And check it out.
- Awesome.
104
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,728
I'm with you 100%,
'cause I'm a firm believer
105
00:04:59,763 --> 00:05:01,629
In the afterlife.
What about you, mike, man?
106
00:05:01,664 --> 00:05:05,767
- Do you believe in the afterlife?
- I'm a firm believer.
107
00:05:05,801 --> 00:05:07,001
Has, like, made fun of me for,
108
00:05:07,035 --> 00:05:09,604
- But I saw a rocking chair rock.
- Out of nowhere?
109
00:05:09,638 --> 00:05:11,639
It was just sittin' there still
and then all of a sudden,
110
00:05:11,674 --> 00:05:12,640
- It rocked?
- Started to rock.
111
00:05:12,675 --> 00:05:13,641
Aw, that--I got--
my hair goes up.
112
00:05:13,676 --> 00:05:15,009
- No way.
- Why not?
113
00:05:15,043 --> 00:05:17,511
He was with a bunch
of boy scouts, right?
114
00:05:17,545 --> 00:05:19,079
Yeah, I was past it.
115
00:05:19,113 --> 00:05:20,948
It still kept rocking.
He happened to look over.
116
00:05:20,982 --> 00:05:22,315
- "Ooh, it's rocking."
- "Oh, a ghost."
117
00:05:22,350 --> 00:05:24,184
[laughter]
118
00:05:24,218 --> 00:05:25,786
You're,
like, Scully and Mulder,
119
00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:27,387
'cause you're, like, "Hey, man,
120
00:05:27,421 --> 00:05:29,222
I had a real
paranormal experience,"
121
00:05:29,256 --> 00:05:33,726
And somebody's like,
"So did I," and you "[bleep]."
122
00:05:34,728 --> 00:05:36,128
- Is this the basement?
- Yeah.
123
00:05:36,162 --> 00:05:37,730
There's definitely
something going on down here.
124
00:05:37,764 --> 00:05:40,099
- What does that do?
- That's an emf meter.
125
00:05:40,133 --> 00:05:45,938
This detects spirits
that might linger.
126
00:05:45,973 --> 00:05:48,607
[exhales]
I love you.
127
00:05:48,641 --> 00:05:51,042
[laughs]
128
00:05:51,076 --> 00:05:53,411
All right, go, man, you creep.
129
00:05:53,445 --> 00:05:55,446

130
00:05:57,850 --> 00:05:58,950

132

This is pretty creepy
down here.
133
00:06:03,255 --> 00:06:06,224
A little bit further.
I was right over here,
134
00:06:06,258 --> 00:06:08,159
And you see some
of the signatures on the wall.

All right, so we've
got enough, right?
137
00:06:13,632 --> 00:06:15,533
Whoa, let's ask
a few questions.
138
00:06:15,567 --> 00:06:18,969
If there is an entity
down in this basement,
139
00:06:19,004 --> 00:06:22,105
Give us a sign.
140
00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:24,007
- Jesus!
- What was that?
141
00:06:24,008 --> 00:06:26,177
- Did you hear that?
- We should go back up now.
142
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:27,711
We got some t-cats.
143
00:06:27,712 --> 00:06:32,049
Both: Thundercats,
thundercats, ho-o-o!
144
00:06:36,837 --> 00:06:38,505
- Jesus!
- What was that?
145
00:06:38,540 --> 00:06:39,639
Did you hear that?
146
00:06:39,674 --> 00:06:40,640
All right, maybe we should
go back up now.
147
00:06:40,675 --> 00:06:43,743
Will you please give us a sign?
148
00:06:43,778 --> 00:06:46,146
- [beeping]
- Whoa.
149
00:06:46,181 --> 00:06:48,348
That's the strongest reading
I've seen yet.
150
00:06:48,383 --> 00:06:50,783
There's no electronics
in these boxes, or--
151
00:06:50,817 --> 00:06:52,185
- Paper.
- Paper.
152
00:06:52,219 --> 00:06:54,087
See, paper would not
set this off.
153
00:06:54,121 --> 00:06:56,089
Look at how intense that is.
154
00:06:56,123 --> 00:06:58,357
- So what do you think?
- The spirit or entity
155
00:06:58,392 --> 00:07:00,993
Just wants to enjoy some
of these comic books
156
00:07:01,027 --> 00:07:03,529
And whatever other items
you have down here.
157
00:07:03,564 --> 00:07:05,163
Minute. He's readin'?
158
00:07:05,198 --> 00:07:06,164
- He might be.
- He's been down here
159
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:07,365
Readin' on my dime?
160
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,101
It could've explained
why you were getting
161
00:07:09,135 --> 00:07:11,736
These strange frequencies
from the boxes.
162
00:07:11,770 --> 00:07:13,338
As long as he stays down here,
163
00:07:13,372 --> 00:07:15,373
And he doesn't
bother the customers,
164
00:07:15,408 --> 00:07:17,709
I'm fine with him, you know,
readin' as much
165
00:07:17,743 --> 00:07:20,345
- As he wants down here.
- Let it be.
166
00:07:20,379 --> 00:07:22,346
Could you relay a message
to the ghost...
167
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:24,681
- Sure.
- From me to him?
168
00:07:24,716 --> 00:07:26,350
Tell him
if he don't start none,
169
00:07:26,384 --> 00:07:27,985
There won't be none.

00:07:36,694 --> 00:07:37,660
- [sighs]
- I just wanted to scare
175
00:07:37,694 --> 00:07:40,463
The [bleep] out of you.
[chuckling]
176
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,135
How 'bout this?
177
00:07:45,169 --> 00:07:46,336
Hey, how ya doin'?
178
00:07:46,370 --> 00:07:47,670
Doin' well.
How 'bout yourself?
179
00:07:47,704 --> 00:07:49,705
Pretty good.
What can we do for you today?
180
00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:53,775
Lookin' to transcend
my Thundercats collection
181
00:07:53,809 --> 00:07:55,043
or a part of it, anyway.
182
00:07:55,077 --> 00:07:57,513
I would like someone else
to be able to enjoy it
183
00:07:57,547 --> 00:07:59,515
As much as I did
as a young boy.
184
00:07:59,549 --> 00:08:01,517
Okay, all right,
let's see what you got.
185
00:08:01,551 --> 00:08:02,684
Okay, we're not
going to address
186
00:08:02,718 --> 00:08:05,053
The rainbow suspenders.
Are we not gonna ask?
187
00:08:05,487 --> 00:08:11,459
[laughs]
188
00:08:11,993 --> 00:08:14,395
I didn't command
nearly the respect
189
00:08:14,429 --> 00:08:17,632
That I'm assuming you do.
[laughter]
190
00:08:17,666 --> 00:08:20,568
All right.
Got some T-Cats.
191
00:08:20,602 --> 00:08:22,603
- That's Lion-O, right?
- Yes.
192
00:08:29,377 --> 00:08:31,478
- Who's this dude?
- That's Mumm-Ra.
193
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:34,281
- Oh, that's the villain?
- That's the biggest bad dude.
194
00:08:34,315 --> 00:08:36,449
This is the Darth Vader
of the Thundercats.
195
00:08:36,484 --> 00:08:37,817
- Yeah.
- What are you
196
00:08:40,888 --> 00:08:43,055
Between $500 and $1,000.
197
00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:44,756
Loose figures
goin' for that much?
198
00:08:44,791 --> 00:08:46,124
What do you think, Ming?
199
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:47,660
Loose figures are tough, man.
200
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,228
- Yeah.
- It's like driving a new car
201
00:08:49,262 --> 00:08:51,096
Off the lot--
and once you hit that street,
202
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:53,199
- The value is gone.
- I totally concur,
203
00:08:53,233 --> 00:08:55,668
But I know goin' down the street
to Mexico,
204
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,635
This is the wrapper for mexico.
205
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:58,703
This is mint on card in Mexico?
206
00:08:58,737 --> 00:09:01,138
That's mint on card in Mexico.
207
00:09:01,173 --> 00:09:04,242
A collector prefers
to think of action figures
208
00:09:04,276 --> 00:09:07,512
As inaction figures.
It's presumably still
209
00:09:07,546 --> 00:09:09,747
On a package
and will never be removed
210
00:09:09,781 --> 00:09:11,982
From that package,
so the distinction
211
00:09:12,017 --> 00:09:14,518
Has to be made
of "these were loose figures."
212
00:09:14,552 --> 00:09:15,819
I think it's more
of a headache for me.
213
00:09:15,853 --> 00:09:18,322
- How do I display this?
- And also, it helps
214
00:09:18,356 --> 00:09:19,856
if you're gonna sell it
as a loose figure to be
215
00:09:19,890 --> 00:09:22,158
Like, "Oh, I know everything
about the Thundercats"
216
00:09:22,193 --> 00:09:23,827
But you're pretty Thundercats
ignorant.
217
00:09:23,861 --> 00:09:26,896
I know Lion-O.
I know Panthro.
218
00:09:26,931 --> 00:09:29,265
I know there's a little,
cute furry creature that they--
219
00:09:29,299 --> 00:09:33,402
- Like a pet?
- Mingo?
220
00:09:33,437 --> 00:09:35,204
I could probably sell a Lion-O
221
00:09:35,239 --> 00:09:38,140
And, uh, Mumm-Ra, right,
uh, as a set.
222
00:09:38,174 --> 00:09:40,776
- $35.
- Nah, I can't do any less
223
00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:43,679
Than-- $75.
224
00:09:43,714 --> 00:09:46,248
No way.
Not a chance.
225
00:09:46,282 --> 00:09:47,649
How 'bout $50?
226
00:09:47,683 --> 00:09:50,652
I say $75.
You say $30, $35.
227
00:09:50,686 --> 00:09:52,420
How 'bout we meet
in the middle?
228
00:09:52,455 --> 00:09:54,188
$45?
229
00:09:54,223 --> 00:09:55,857
- I can do $45.
- All right, man.
230
00:09:55,891 --> 00:09:59,794
- You got a deal.
- Thank you.
231
00:09:59,828 --> 00:10:01,729
- Oh, I got a cat--I got a--
- Thundercats...
232
00:10:01,763 --> 00:10:03,330
Ho-oo-oo!
233
00:10:03,365 --> 00:10:04,765
Thundercats!
234
00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:06,032
- Thundercats...
- Thundercats...
235
00:10:06,067 --> 00:10:10,003
Both: Thundercats, ho-oo-oo!
236
00:10:10,037 --> 00:10:12,172
He's got it down pat, guys.
237
00:10:12,206 --> 00:10:13,807
Good luck
with the rest of these.
238
00:10:13,841 --> 00:10:15,108
Thank you
239
00:10:15,143 --> 00:10:16,677
Kinda embarrassed myself,
didn't I,
240
00:10:16,711 --> 00:10:18,344
When I tried to--
the "Thundercats, ho"
241
00:10:18,379 --> 00:10:20,546
- In front of that dude?
- Pretty halfhearted, man.
242
00:10:20,581 --> 00:10:22,415
Well, tell me how to do it.
Show me how to do it again.
243
00:10:22,449 --> 00:10:25,951
All you do is raise a sword,
man. Thundercats.
244
00:10:25,986 --> 00:10:27,019
No. Just pretend, man.
245
00:10:27,053 --> 00:10:28,120
Come on, man,
I'll give you this.
246
00:10:28,155 --> 00:10:29,589
That's what pretending is.
247
00:10:29,623 --> 00:10:30,757
We gotta--we gotta have props.
248
00:10:30,791 --> 00:10:32,124
All right, there you go.
There's a little--
249
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:33,425
- This is my Thundercats sword?
- Yeah.
250
00:10:33,459 --> 00:10:34,959
- You say that three times.
- Okay, ready?
251
00:10:34,994 --> 00:10:36,861
Thunder.
Both: Thunder.
252
00:10:36,896 --> 00:10:39,631
Thundercats, ho-o-o!
Like that.
253
00:10:39,666 --> 00:10:41,333
- Can you do that?
- [bleep].
254
00:10:41,367 --> 00:10:42,901
[laughs]
255
00:10:45,538 --> 00:10:46,805
I've seen some
of the loose figures
256
00:10:46,839 --> 00:10:49,007
- Go for a lot less.
- Then go find one.
257
00:10:49,041 --> 00:10:51,410
Let's all go out
to the pine barrens tonight
258
00:10:51,411 --> 00:10:53,178
And hunt for the Jersey Devil.
259
00:10:54,752 --> 00:10:57,519
G.I. Joe, Thundercats--
260
00:10:57,553 --> 00:10:59,688
That was kind
of what followed me.
261
00:10:59,722 --> 00:11:01,656
My era
was probably the Super Friends,
262
00:11:01,691 --> 00:11:06,395
Or my favorite iteration, man,
The Legion of Doom.
263
00:11:06,429 --> 00:11:08,530
- Yeah.
- Their greatest villains.
264
00:11:08,564 --> 00:11:10,432
How bad-ass
was that headquarters.
265
00:11:10,466 --> 00:11:11,665
That rose out of a swamp?
266
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:13,334
[groans]
The Legion headquarters
267
00:11:13,369 --> 00:11:16,771
Looked like Darth Vader's face
over and over and over again,
268
00:11:16,805 --> 00:11:21,943
So basically, they took
what was already cool,
269
00:11:21,977 --> 00:11:23,077
And that's what they lived in,
and you were
270
00:11:23,112 --> 00:11:26,314
- Like, "I wanna be evil!"
- [laughs]
271
00:11:26,348 --> 00:11:27,881
What was your favorite cartoon?
272
00:11:27,916 --> 00:11:29,749
Josie and the Pussycats--
in Outer Space, though.
273
00:11:29,784 --> 00:11:31,818
- Really?
- I was always transfixed
274
00:11:31,852 --> 00:11:35,155
By, like, how evil and how weird
these space villains were...
275
00:11:35,189 --> 00:11:36,924
- Right.
- And in the middle of the show,
276
00:11:36,958 --> 00:11:38,625
They interject this kind
of, like, you know,
277
00:11:38,659 --> 00:11:40,560
- Catchy little tune.
- I was waitin' for, like,
278
00:11:40,594 --> 00:11:42,862
"Aw, the herculoids.
Aw, this--some of this,"
279
00:11:42,897 --> 00:11:45,901
But you're like, "You know
what my favorite cartoon is?"
280
00:11:45,902 --> 00:11:49,318
- The Spice Girls in Space.
- [laughs]
281
00:11:59,053 --> 00:12:01,019
- How you guys doin'?
- All right.
282
00:12:04,091 --> 00:12:06,358
- Happy reading.
- Thank you.
283
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:08,160
As a comic book collector,
284
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:10,262
you prefer collecting single issues
285
00:12:10,297 --> 00:12:12,264
Or just wait
for the omnibus, now?
286
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:13,932
I gotta have the single issues.
287
00:12:13,967 --> 00:12:15,867
I've been trained
that way, you know?
288
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:18,002
- He's wrong.
- Why is he wrong?
289
00:12:18,036 --> 00:12:19,370
'cause if you compare it
to like, say,
290
00:12:19,405 --> 00:12:23,975
- A tv series, right?
- Right.
291
00:12:24,009 --> 00:12:26,377
So to wait month to month?
That's too much.
292
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,480
What are you doing
instead that you can't wait?
293
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:29,880
[laughter]
Look, that's all I'm doing
294
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:31,182
Is waiting.
295
00:12:31,217 --> 00:12:32,682
- 'scuse me gentlemen.
- How you doin'?
296
00:12:32,717 --> 00:12:35,719
Uh, can I take a look at
somethin' in the case over here?
297
00:12:35,753 --> 00:12:37,687
- Uh, the Thundercat figures?
- Ming, can you help the man out
298
00:12:37,722 --> 00:12:41,525
- With the Thundercat figures?
- Yeah, no problem.
299
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,560
I'm gonna walk these up
for you.
300
00:12:52,469 --> 00:12:54,570
- You into this stuff?
- Oh, I certainly am.
301
00:12:54,605 --> 00:12:57,873
Yeah. We just acquired these,
so you're pretty lucky
302
00:12:57,907 --> 00:12:59,609
- To come in today.
- How long have you been
303
00:12:59,643 --> 00:13:02,411
Into these?
It's like they've been out
304
00:13:02,446 --> 00:13:03,912
Pretty much since preschool.
305
00:13:03,947 --> 00:13:06,080
- Like, how old are you?
- I am 27.
306
00:13:06,115 --> 00:13:09,151
- Stop interrogating him.
- I'm just curious.
307
00:13:09,185 --> 00:13:10,352
I don't let many people
do this,
308
00:13:10,386 --> 00:13:11,986
But tjm gonna let you
wear my ring.
309
00:13:12,021 --> 00:13:16,324
[chuckles]
310
00:13:16,359 --> 00:13:18,493
Yeah, um, what are you lookin'
to sell them for?
311
00:13:18,528 --> 00:13:22,229
Lion-O, $75.
Mumm-ra, $50.
312
00:13:22,264 --> 00:13:23,797
- Really?
- Yeah.
313
00:13:23,831 --> 00:13:24,965
I've seen some
of the loose figures
314
00:13:24,999 --> 00:13:26,867
Go for a lot less,
and they're still
315
00:13:26,901 --> 00:13:29,370
- In fairly decent working order.
- Okay.
316
00:13:29,404 --> 00:13:31,705
I'd probably do
about $30 for Lion-O, maybe.
317
00:13:31,739 --> 00:13:34,441
- How much for Mumm-Ra?
- I think about $30.
318
00:13:34,476 --> 00:13:36,509
Yeah, I--I don't think
I can do that low.
319
00:13:36,544 --> 00:13:39,078
I could do $75 for the pair.
320
00:13:39,112 --> 00:13:44,617
$70.
321
00:13:44,652 --> 00:13:47,720
Then go find one.
[laughter]
322
00:13:47,754 --> 00:13:51,191
- Come on.
- You know as Lion-O might say,
323
00:13:51,225 --> 00:13:56,161
"Give me sight
beyond sight, ho-o-o."
324
00:13:56,196 --> 00:13:58,129
- That was weak, dude.
- That was weak?
325
00:13:58,164 --> 00:14:00,465
Ho-o-o! There we go.
326
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:03,635
All right, how 'bout $72?
327
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:06,004
Best I can do.
328
00:14:06,038 --> 00:14:09,640
All right.
329
00:14:09,675 --> 00:14:11,442
Package these up
for the man, Ming.
330
00:14:11,476 --> 00:14:13,444
- Excellent decision.
- $72. Thank you. All right.
331
00:14:13,478 --> 00:14:15,145
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- Have a great day.
332
00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:17,682
Thanks, man.
333
00:14:17,716 --> 00:14:19,383
This guy missed
his time and place, man.
334
00:14:19,418 --> 00:14:24,321
You would've been awesome
in the spanish inquisition.
335
00:14:24,355 --> 00:14:25,788
- "What did you watch?"
- [scoffs]
336
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:27,424
I just thought it was weird.
He looked so young.
337
00:14:27,458 --> 00:14:29,492
It's like, "How can you be
into Thundercats?"
338
00:14:29,527 --> 00:14:30,893
If somebody told me you
were 18, 19 years old,
339
00:14:30,928 --> 00:14:32,795
- I'd believe it.
- What Earth does he look
340
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:36,966
- 19 years old on?
- He's got those crow's-feet.
341
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,402
He's got a receding hairline.
The little gobble-gobble
342
00:14:39,437 --> 00:14:40,936
- Is starting to form.
- Lookin' at me
343
00:14:40,970 --> 00:14:43,038
Like I'm Sharon Stone
or somethin', man.
344
00:14:43,072 --> 00:14:44,340
[laughter]
345
00:14:53,617 --> 00:14:56,151
[door closes]
Hey, guys.
346
00:14:56,185 --> 00:14:57,585
What are you drawin', monsters?
347
00:14:57,620 --> 00:15:00,355
- Little monsters.
- Wow, that's great, dude.
348
00:15:00,389 --> 00:15:04,392
It's really good.
I'm actually going
349
00:15:04,426 --> 00:15:07,228
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, vampire tales,
350
00:15:07,263 --> 00:15:09,364
- Uh, zombie--
- If it's a monster,
351
00:15:09,398 --> 00:15:11,031
I'm there.
I'll read any monster comic,
352
00:15:11,066 --> 00:15:13,032
Even real world monsters
like Bigfoot,
353
00:15:13,067 --> 00:15:16,770
The Loch Ness monster,
the Jersey Devil.
354
00:15:16,804 --> 00:15:18,905
You've heard
of the Jersey Devil.
355
00:15:18,939 --> 00:15:20,907
The first person
that told me the legend
356
00:15:20,941 --> 00:15:23,176
Of the Jersey Devil
was Mr. Flanagan himself,
357
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:24,444
Set it up. Go ahead.
358
00:15:24,479 --> 00:15:27,949
Let's go back to the 1700s.
South Jersey.
359
00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:30,218
There's a woman
with 12 children.
360
00:15:30,219 --> 00:15:32,752
Half of her life was
taking care of these brats.
361
00:15:32,753 --> 00:15:34,320
And there's rumors
that she may have been
362
00:15:34,354 --> 00:15:38,791
A black witch,
and, um, they have a 13th child,
363
00:15:38,825 --> 00:15:41,126
And while she's in labor,
she curses this child
364
00:15:41,161 --> 00:15:43,262
And said, "if I must have
this child
365
00:15:43,297 --> 00:15:44,763
To be a devil."
366
00:15:44,797 --> 00:15:47,098
A beastly demon popped out
367
00:15:47,132 --> 00:15:49,066
And scurried up the chimney out
368
00:15:49,101 --> 00:15:52,870
Into the new Jersey forest land,
and grew up
369
00:15:52,905 --> 00:15:58,376
Devouring human flesh.
370
00:15:58,411 --> 00:16:00,344
[laughter] To make them
go to sleep.
371
00:16:00,378 --> 00:16:01,679
[laughter]
372
00:16:01,713 --> 00:16:03,914
I saw the Jersey Devil.
I never told you about it?
373
00:16:03,948 --> 00:16:05,816
Yes, you did tell me
about that one.
374
00:16:05,850 --> 00:16:07,083
- Did I told you about it?
- Mm-hmm.
375
00:16:07,118 --> 00:16:08,285
- You wanna hear it again?
Both: No.
376
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,421
- You saw the Jersey Devil.
- I sure did.
377
00:16:10,455 --> 00:16:12,155
My wife and I
were driving one morning
378
00:16:12,190 --> 00:16:14,891
At like, 4:00 a.M.
Foggy, misty,
379
00:16:14,926 --> 00:16:16,526
We're goin' out, and this thing
380
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,594
Just flew across the road,
and I could just see
381
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:21,831
The back end of it
had 7-foot wingspans,
382
00:16:21,865 --> 00:16:24,534
And I swear it made the sound
that was like
383
00:16:24,568 --> 00:16:26,969
- [screeches]
- [chuckles]
384
00:16:27,003 --> 00:16:29,839
Don't believe me.
Go out into the woods
385
00:16:29,873 --> 00:16:32,708
- And look for yourself.
- Well, let's all go out there.
386
00:16:32,742 --> 00:16:34,710
Let's all go out
to the pine barrens tonight
387
00:16:34,744 --> 00:16:37,111
- And hunt for the Jersey Devil.
- I'm not goin' back out.
388
00:16:37,146 --> 00:16:38,714
I-I--once is enough.
389
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:40,181
Well, how 'bout you,
Mr. Big nuts?
390
00:16:40,216 --> 00:16:41,450
You wanna go out there tonight?
391
00:16:41,484 --> 00:16:42,718
- Tonight.
- Tonight.
392
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:43,819
- Tonight.
- Stop repeating
393
00:16:43,853 --> 00:16:45,354
- Everything I say.
- Tonight.
394
00:16:45,388 --> 00:16:46,988
- Tonight at midnight.
- I'm just making sure--
395
00:16:47,022 --> 00:16:51,859
- Yes or no?
- Yes! Yes.
396
00:16:51,893 --> 00:16:53,561
'cause you'll turn 'em
into a $500 diaper.
397
00:16:53,595 --> 00:16:57,465
Fffppp!
[laughter]
398
00:16:57,499 --> 00:17:01,502
There's nothing out there.
[laughter]
399
00:17:05,406 --> 00:17:07,106
Capisce?
400
00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:13,012
[screaming]
401
00:17:13,046 --> 00:17:14,313
What the hell was that?
402
00:17:16,424 --> 00:17:18,025
Do you buy the legend
of the Jersey Devil?
403
00:17:18,060 --> 00:17:19,861
You tell it very well,
but do you believe it
404
00:17:19,895 --> 00:17:24,065
- For a second?
- I think there could be.
405
00:17:24,099 --> 00:17:25,900
Snooki.
[chuckling]
406
00:17:25,934 --> 00:17:28,769
So, um, we're out there
in the woods,
407
00:17:37,711 --> 00:17:39,679
You know I don't believe
in the Jersey Devil.
408
00:17:39,713 --> 00:17:41,414
Worried about what really
does exist out here.
409
00:17:41,448 --> 00:17:43,116
Are there any bears out here?
410
00:17:43,151 --> 00:17:44,817
- Poisonous snakes?
- [scoffs]
411
00:17:44,885 --> 00:17:46,451
Use that thermal vision, bro.
412
00:17:46,486 --> 00:17:48,087
I didn't bring it out here
for you to hold it out
413
00:17:48,121 --> 00:17:50,855
- On your side the whole night.
- All right, hold on.
414
00:17:52,258 --> 00:17:54,926
That thing will pick up
anything that gives off heat.
415
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,795
I want you
to light up this forest
416
00:17:56,829 --> 00:17:58,096
And bag us a devil.
417
00:17:58,130 --> 00:18:00,131
I think it's just us out here.
418
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:01,332
- [leaves rustling]
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
419
00:18:01,366 --> 00:18:03,768
What was that?
420
00:18:03,803 --> 00:18:07,570
Gettin' caught on stickers.
421
00:18:07,605 --> 00:18:09,973
Whoa! Fresh droppings?
422
00:18:10,008 --> 00:18:12,109
Holy crap.
Look at the size of it.
423
00:18:12,143 --> 00:18:13,977
Is it hot, Ming?
424
00:18:14,012 --> 00:18:17,380
Stick your finger in it.
I see it on tv all the time.
425
00:18:17,415 --> 00:18:19,817
It's what these guys do
just get a little taste of it.
426
00:18:19,851 --> 00:18:22,419
[laughter]
427
00:18:22,453 --> 00:18:23,853
Come on, let's keep going.
I didn't come out here
428
00:18:23,921 --> 00:18:25,021
To look at [bleep]
429
00:18:25,055 --> 00:18:28,590
You have no sense
of wonderment, Ming.
430
00:18:28,625 --> 00:18:32,295
Can't believe you dragged me
out here.
431
00:18:32,329 --> 00:18:34,297
What the hell was that?
432
00:18:34,331 --> 00:18:36,398
Could've been a deer.
Could've been an owl.
433
00:18:36,433 --> 00:18:37,800
Did that sound
like a deer to you?
434
00:18:37,835 --> 00:18:39,201
How much deer
do you spend your time around
435
00:18:39,235 --> 00:18:40,735
To know what it even
sounds like?
436
00:18:40,769 --> 00:18:45,240
- Oh, look at his face.
- Shut up.
437
00:18:45,274 --> 00:18:46,607
[laughs]
438
00:18:46,642 --> 00:18:48,310
- Well, what do you think?
- I can't believe
439
00:18:48,344 --> 00:18:50,778
You dragged me out here.
This is stupid.
440
00:18:50,813 --> 00:18:52,948
You wanna keep goin',
or you wanna go home?
441
00:18:53,482 --> 00:18:59,482
- Let's keep goin'.
- Yeah, lead the way.
442
00:19:00,222 --> 00:19:02,456
What the hell was that?
443
00:19:02,490 --> 00:19:04,325
- [screams]
- What the hell was that?
444
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,160
- What was that?
- [laughs] I don't know.
445
00:19:06,194 --> 00:19:08,461
Guys, this isn't funny anymore.
446
00:19:08,495 --> 00:19:09,897
- [laughter]
- I wasn't scared.
447
00:19:09,898 --> 00:19:12,631
- Bullcrap.
- We got it on video.
448
00:19:12,666 --> 00:19:14,767
Why are you maintaining
that you weren't scared?
449
00:19:14,801 --> 00:19:15,902
I wasn't scared.
450
00:19:17,571 --> 00:19:19,005
What are you gonna do
with that?
451
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:20,706
I know, don't knock
your own teeth out with it.
452
00:19:20,741 --> 00:19:22,242
Seriously.
453
00:19:24,245 --> 00:19:27,380
I don't see anything.
454
00:19:27,414 --> 00:19:29,948
- Ruhruhhr
- [screams]
455
00:19:29,983 --> 00:19:32,017
Oh--oh, my God!
[shouting]
456
00:19:32,051 --> 00:19:36,021
[Ming shouting, laughter]
457
00:19:36,055 --> 00:19:37,656
The hell?
458
00:19:37,691 --> 00:19:40,125
It may have been one of the greatest
moments of my life.
459
00:19:40,159 --> 00:19:41,894
I mean, it was...
[laughter]
460
00:19:41,928 --> 00:19:43,228
It was magical.
461
00:19:43,263 --> 00:19:45,630
Rob Bruce was awesome.
He went to such lengths.
462
00:19:45,664 --> 00:19:47,298
I mean, he rolled around
in dung
463
00:19:47,332 --> 00:19:49,534
To give the odor,
so when he jumped on Ming,
464
00:19:49,568 --> 00:19:50,935
You know, he smelled
like an animal.
465
00:19:50,969 --> 00:19:52,837
Yeah.
466
00:19:52,872 --> 00:19:55,006
Instead of giving you Affleck,
he gave you Damon.
467
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,075
[laughter]
468
00:19:58,110 --> 00:19:59,711
- It's not funny!
- Rob, you okay?
469
00:19:59,745 --> 00:20:01,245
What do you mean,
it's not funny?
470
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,417
Well, not funny for Rob.
[laughter]
471
00:20:06,451 --> 00:20:07,618
[groans]
472
00:20:07,652 --> 00:20:09,387
I'm not rubbin' those for ya.
473
00:20:09,421 --> 00:20:10,587
- It wasn't funny.
- Come on.
474
00:20:10,622 --> 00:20:11,989
- It wasn't funny.
- How awesome was that?
475
00:20:12,024 --> 00:20:13,657
- It wasn't awesome.
- You should've seen your face!
476
00:20:13,691 --> 00:20:16,026
It was probably
the scariest thing I ever saw.
477
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:19,396
You were really scared,
like, literally scared?
478
00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:20,763
Horns--it was crazy.
479
00:20:20,798 --> 00:20:21,965
That sound you were doin',
480
00:20:21,999 --> 00:20:23,099
Uh, that scream you
were makin'?
481
00:20:23,134 --> 00:20:25,402
- That was awesome.
- What scream?
482
00:20:25,436 --> 00:20:28,471
- It wasn't you screaming?
- Mm-mm.
483
00:20:28,505 --> 00:20:31,507
[groans] Get outta here.
[laughter]
484
00:20:31,542 --> 00:20:34,009
Ruhruhruhruhruhruh!
485
00:20:34,044 --> 00:20:35,377
Well, I'll just take an apology
486
00:20:35,412 --> 00:20:37,212
- For calling us morons.
- Hey, what am I
487
00:20:37,247 --> 00:20:40,082
Apologizing for?
We didn't--we didn't see it.
488
00:20:40,116 --> 00:20:41,450
[clatter]
489
00:20:41,451 --> 00:20:45,089
What was that?
[laughter]
490
00:20:45,090 --> 00:20:47,022
And that is gonna wrap
it up for another episode
491
00:20:47,023 --> 00:20:49,290
Of comic Book Men.
I'm Kevin Smith.
492
00:20:49,325 --> 00:20:50,925
- Bryan Johnson.
- Walt Flanagan.
493
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,493
- Mike Zapcic.
- Ming Chen.
494
00:20:52,527 --> 00:20:54,362
Remember: They would've
gotten away with it
495
00:20:54,396 --> 00:20:56,230
If it weren't
for them Meddlin' Kids.
496
00:20:56,265 --> 00:20:58,499
Good night, folks.
