My mother had a bad experience with these ghosts.
Let's hump the fence. It's Al and Jerry's Post Game Podcast. All right, here we go.
Thursday podcast for you. Al, what is up?
Oh, hi there, Jerry. The other day we were talking about something. I got a big response as far as people DMing me. We talked about somehow we got into when we were in like grade school or junior high or even high school, how some people had noon chucks. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Chinese stars. Yes. We did this yesterday. Was it yesterday? Yeah, it was yesterday. We were like, where did we get these from? And a lot of people reached out to me to tell me where they used to get their- Army Navy store? No one mentioned that.
What kind of items were commonly sold at flea markets?
Okay. I got a lot of flea markets were very big. Interesting. People said the flea markets had them.
Okay.
And then other people said sometimes the self-defense, like where you would take self-defense classes- They would sell them there? They would sell them there as well. Oh. Were you a big flea market goer when you were younger? No, not at all. Now, you worked at a flea market. You did sell some clothing at a flea market.
Yes, I did. I would get damaged jackets. So when Members Only was winding down, my dad was the CFO at the time, when they were winding down, they were sold essentially. There was an overstock of clothing. And I remember him telling me one time that he had these guys that would come in and sift through all the damaged clothing and they would pick out the good stuff and they would go sell it. And they sold it really cheap, meaning the company to the person. I'm like, well, can I do that? I was just driving at the time. And he's like, yeah, if you want to. He goes, but you got to pay for it. I'm like, that's fine. what are we talking about? And I remember him telling me, he's like, well, you know, like depending upon the damage, like you could get leather coats for like 40 bucks and you could get shirts for $5.
I was like, you're kidding. So one day with him, I went in and I went in a big, huge warehouse and you would go in this back room for the overflow, for the damages. And the amount of clothing that was back there was insane. And you would literally go through it. Like, some had cuts in it, you know, razor blades when they opened the boxes. Other jackets, I'm like, what is wrong with this coat? He goes, oh, and he would show me. That was a stitching out of place. I'm like, no one's going to see that.
