So we are back for producer Brett DP. Seth, I am Graham and I heard you guys played golf this weekend. We did. We did, and I heard Brett doesn't really know how to play golf. No, Brett know how to play golf. Sounds like we were saying a second ago. That's not what I said I would. Never, ever. Brett's my bro. I would not talk to it on his game. There's some guys whose game I will talk to it on. Brett's not one of them. That means a lot. Yeah, it really does mean a lot.
And you're having a bad day, Brett. Does it end with AY? I'm just kidding, I'm having an OK day. Why it's better now? So why you just OK? I don't know, I think I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Speaking of you getting worked up, you got us all worked up on the Rick Harrison shoot day before when we were all travelling there. What happened? Yeah, so there was some sensitivity around some of the
topics leading into the shoot. His son had passed away in in the last year or so, which we knew was going to be a sensitive topic. And we were also told ahead of time that, you know, he didn't want to get political, wouldn't talk too much about Trump. And so you just the day before the shoot, you had wanted to make sure that I had talked to the publicist and had everything covered and since I had done that, but like a month and a half before. And you had told me we were. Good.
Like because we don't really have preconditions with anybody. We've profile for episodes and so that's talk through when it comes out, it came up, just talk through. You told me that. Fast forward a month and 1/2, here we are. Yeah, I think I was just tired. We had multiple shoots in between that. So I think I just slipped my mind and I started questioning, are we good to go? And I I let my weakness show to you a little too much, and you pounced. What do you mean I need a? Typical.
You just you knew that I was wasn't 100% sure and you did the right thing and had me. I knew you weren't 100% sure because you called me freaking out about it, and I then called Brad, who's in Saint Louis. You're already in Vegas at the time. I have yet to fly there.
I said to Brad, like, I think this is getting cancelled for tomorrow, that I said to him, I'm like, that is what my gut tells me. Let's please figure this out before I go to the airport because we're already going to have to fly back all the crew that's there already. Yeah, I for the record, I never felt for a second it was going to get cancelled, but I did. I was dreading a potential phone call to the publicist, which I did, and turns out we had
everything covered all along. How do you think it went? I thought it was fine. What do you think? Elaborate. No, I thought it was good. I think. I mean, look, man, Rick's probably the most knowledgeable person I've ever I've ever met. And I could tell from the day we did set up that I was really worried about everything running very long because we were. And this isn't a slot a slight at Rick at all.
I like Rick a lot. This is more slight at me if anybody because I keep people talking for too long you. Have a tendency to like, you'll never let somebody stop. You'll go until they're done. So I was like between Rick's tendency to like, want to educate everybody about everything in his house, in his pawn shop, and then Graham's willingness to sit there and let that happen, I was like, this shoot's never going to end. But you did a really good job at at keeping everything on schedule.
But yeah, we were there the day before trying to get You did great. Almost too great, never heard myself complimented by you. Before, I've complimented you before and I when I say you did great, I mean you did great at the schedule. I didn't mean anything. And hey, had we known we were going to stick to the schedule, then we could have shotguns with them, too. Well, we actually end up rapping early. Yeah. But yeah, we were. We wanted to shoot guns with him.
We thought it was going to happen at his house or near his house. And it turns out it was 1/2 hour in the opposite direction from his house. So that would have given us an hour drive between shooting guns to the pawn shop. I mean hiding sites 2020 in like this, we've never really had a shoot that's finished on time or early never. And so, but had we known we, I think you guys agree we would have. We would have known, absolutely. I mean, 100% we would have done it. Yeah, and just.
I was so angry at myself at the the end of that. I think I was just angry at myself at the end of that day that I've ever been following a shoot. Well, I think we just what Seth said, we were so worried about it going long based on everything he just broke down that we almost over hyped it to you in a way. And you were so on top of the schedule that there was something allotted for an hour. Then after like 10 minutes you were just like, cool. Thanks for doing this, Rick.
Yeah, we were in the bar. I thought the we had the bar allotted for an hour and we get in the bar and it was like, yeah, this is that, this is that and here's that. And I was like, cool, All right, yeah, yeah, we're done. Yeah. I mean, he's, he's, he's got some cool and he really likes to, to tell you about it. He has a healthy ego, that's for sure. However, I mean, you got to give the guy a lot of credit.
He had this, I mean you little pawn shop back in the day that because he believed in himself and believed in what they were doing, went out and hustled, found a production company that believed in them too to create a show and got. Them over and then got. Somebody else? Well, no, that was. Kids. They kind of were the ones that got the ball rolling. I mean, in their in his defense, they didn't try to push it all to do. Anything. And if those kids had ever reached out, I'm sure he would
have done something. He said they never reached out. But anyways, like found a production company, got the show on the air, was one of History Channel's most successful shows ever, built up his pawn shop around that. And now all these extensions of their business. It's like, you know, he has a healthy ego. Everybody close to him says Rick likes talking about Rick. But you got to respect the the the hustle and the fact that he created all that out of nothing. Yeah, and it's a genuine and
like he's genuinely interested. It's not like a money grab like he'd be doing. He'd be working that pawn shop if it was never on TV still. And he seems like a super nice man. I thought he was insanely not like he Yeah, like there was no like you weren't. I guess you weren't there when he got there. But we were doing set up and he walked in just like sat down and
started like hanging out. And I, it was really funny though, because I like walked over to introduce myself to him and try to figure out the things he was going to be most interested in showing us for the house tour. And I was like trying to figure out a schedule. And he just kept showing me stuff. And he's like, come check this out. Then all of a sudden Carlos and Mario are following me with cameras and then I'm doing a house tour with, with him
instead of you. And I was just like, yeah, he did the thing to me a million times where he'd be like, you know, say a name and he'd look at me and I'm like, he's like, you know, that is it's like some actor from the 40s. So I started, Brett caught me. I started saying, yeah, I know they'll be, even though I had no idea who's talking because I
just got so self-conscious. Yeah, well, there's a lot of in that show, in this episode, there's a lot of we've caught around it. But him saying something and then like waiting for a response from you and you're just like. Well, I I felt really stupid. Well, but I mean really stupid and, and rightfully so. I mean, yeah, I guess I should have gone to college longer. Everybody he brought up or every topic, I would have had the same response as you of. Yeah, yeah, maybe. No, I don't know.
I didn't really know really anything about what he was talking about. And I learned a lot there. And that's what makes him so interesting is that he has so much knowledge. And I don't know, I don't think there's a lot of out there either about his personal collection, which we kind of got to see with his books and just what his house looks like. So I thought that was awesome. Well. I think there's probably a like, you would think watching that show, right?
It's reality TV, which a lot of times is faked. You would think, oh, somebody's bringing in some object, OK, Rick's going to then learn about it and then be on camera about it. But now he just knows so much about everything, like he's in the right field. He could be like a professor on Knick knacks. Yeah, yeah. He was like something about the He had the oldest stained glass ever.
In. America and so he, he was able to tell like certain parts of it were older because they didn't have that color red in that century or something. So and. Then with the picture on it, since it wasn't religious and it was scientific, made it from the 1600s instead of the 1300s. And he's like, you know, because they stopped doing it in 1320. And you're like, oh, totally, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, anyway. Another one in the books. Another one in the books. For Brett and Seth, I am Graham.
Goodbye.
