If I go to AMNH, let's say every day for, once a week for 52 weeks. It's the same displays every week. So all the stuff they collect doesn't go on display. It goes down in the storage or it goes out in the East River. The deal with my company, the nozzle men they called them, there were 200 guys working giants.

And the giant guys, the nozzle guys, part of the perks of working for that company was if you find a tusk, you can have it. They could take the tusks home with them. Really? Yeah, and the skulls and whatever else they found. No one cared back then. Nobody cared. The company didn't care. Take them.

And then these guys from New York, the swift-talking city dudes, they come in and go, oh, we want them. So they made it so the men couldn't take them. And they took them all. Scientific value, nothing. They took them all. Well, let's just imagine you're the grandson of one of the old-style nozzlemen who's now dead, but he passed that tusk along to his kid, and now it's yours.

That tusk could be worth $200,000. That could come in handy to that family. Maybe they could have used that money along the way instead of not having it.

And the letter that is on there talks about hundreds, hundreds of tusks that were shipped there. I've seen them. It's not like I'm making this shit up. I was down there. I took pictures of them.

In the basement. It's incredible. These big crates haven't been opened ever. And they're just filled with tusks. Well, the tusks are on these big shelves like you see at Costco. They go way up high. Yeah. Just shelves of tusks. Shelves and bison heads and stuff. And then the crates are the bones, leg bones, teeth.

Nobody gave a shit. My company didn't care until, you know, they didn't envision a guy like me come along and own in this company. When I bought the company, I started going through the files going, let's see what I bought. Oh, look at that. I got a lease with the government. Oh, here's another one. I got another lease with the government. Yeah, I got a piece over here a guy offered to buy.
