Funny how stuff that's not in your wheelhouse just fades into the background. I used to fly through antique sales and flea markets laser focused, looking for "tire ashtrays" and automobilia that caught my eye. Everything else was "junk" in my way.

They weren't meant to have that anyways .....

On top of that,, I wonder how much they get paid by the network ??

Am thinking ''$hit loads''.

You folks are brutal, rofl.

If their not "all knowing- on all things" that just shows they have room to grow and learn. (They are human after all, and humans make mistakes) I am a bit suprised they don't associate the value as they are motorcycle and scooter fanatics. Maybe mini bikes is as far down the motorsport toteum pole they go?

Well I lived a few doors down from Guy Fieri from the food network, as he was too, so I believe it. Fame can go to your head.

I can second that about Goober and Gommer. I know 3 people that were approached to be pilfered by them.... All 3 said no thanks.

It does seem like more times than not,, Actors & Musicians ect.,, that seem nice on screen & stage,, are '' a lot of times'' - major douche bags in real life.
Funny also,, that the ones that play the dick heads on screen ect,, ''for the most part'',, are actually really cool people in real life.

Forgot to mention ''sports celebrities'' ,, in the ''douche bag'' category.

Buddy of mine years ago,, was a sub contractor ,, & worked on Dan Marino's house.

Dan Marino told my Buddy that they would all be fired,, if he noticed anyone on the crew even looking @ him. :rolleyes:

They were in my area a few years ago and a guy that I know of had them stop by to look at his original #'s matching rust free garage kept since '72 '69 Camaro. He told them he would take 20k for it and they offered 15k and walked. How stupid of them for real. On the show they try to make people think they pay big $ but when it comes down to it they are cheap as once they get to your place they will totally low ball you. No thanks!

The Little Fat Man never pays big. If its a quarter he'll offer a dime, the one he has wedged between his ample butt cheeks.
