American Pickers (2010–…): Season 3, Episode 11 - California Dreamin' - full transcript

Cruising along the California coastline, the guys know they're in for something big. Mil Blair founded the iconic motorcycle magazine Easyriders and, for the first time ever, the legend is willing to sell some of his rare collections of motorbikes and memorabilia. Later, the guys visit Bird's temple of surfing. Although he doesn't normally sell, the guys convince him to part with a few choice surfboards. Also, the guys visit Alfie in the Malibu Hills. His eclectic collection includes over a half million albums and a real bombshell. And finally, they get their new surfboards appraised at the California Surf Museum and make a generous donation.

MIKE: Woo hoo!

MIKE: We're in
California for the first time.

This is like another
planet, man.

MIKE: The inside of
it looks like a wave.

BIRD: Yeah it does actually.

MIKE: That's a pipe right now.

BIRD: Yeah.

MIKE: I'm in the temple
of surfboards and I look up

and I see the plastic
fantastic surfboard god.

MIKE: Danielle gave
us a hot lead in the 'Bu.

We're in Malibu.



FRANK: This is like
movie star area right here.

MIKE: So how many
acres you got here.

ALFIE: I got 9.

MIKE: Wow, this is incredible.

FRANK: Alfie was
a genuine hippie.

Take a chill pill here.
Have some of my food.

Relax.

[♪]

MIKE: Oh my god.

MIKE: I see a Vincent
motor and it's like a

piece of jewelry, man.

MILL: Probably have
to get about 16 for it.

MIKE: How about 10 grand?

MIKE: I'm Mike Wolfe.



FRANK: And I'm Frank Fritz.

MIKE: And we're pickers.

FRANK: We travel the back
roads of America looking

for rusty gold.

We're looking for amazing
things buried in people's

garages and barns.

MIKE: What most people see
as junk, we see as dollar signs.

FRANK: We'll buy anything
we think we can make a buck on.

MIKE: Each item we pick
has a history all its own

and the people we meet, well,
they're a breed all their own.

We make a living telling
the history of America

one piece at a time.

[♪]

MIKE: Woo hoo!

MIKE: We're in
California for the first time.

MIKE: This is like
another planet, man.

We're in Planet California.

Californication, baby.

FRANK: I know.

MIKE: Franky and I
are used to dealing with

gravel roads, I mean,
we're used to losing

ourself into the landscape.

MIKE: Guess what?

It's Southern California,
that's not going to happen.

FRANK: Whatever we find
is going to be probably in

great shape cause they
don't have the bad weather

like we're used to.

MIKE: Well we're not going
to be able to get into the

heavy hitter barns
like we're used to.

FRANK: This is a
change for me and Mike.

We're out here on the ocean.

MIKE: It is our mission,
our passion, our belief

that we are going to
find things in California of

Olympic proportions.

MIKE: Keep your
eyes peeled, brother.

FRANK: I am.

MIKE: Danielle
better step it up.

[phone rings]

FRANK: Hold on here.
Hello?

DANIELLE (ON PHONE): Hey.

What took you so long
to answer the phone?

FRANK (ON PHONE): Me
and Mike were talking about,

uh, bikinis and, uh,
beaches and stuff.

What's up with you?

MIKE (ON PHONE): We're
trying to decide on which

sun tan lotion to put on.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
Ok, I don't, I don't have time

to talk about this.

Listen, I have this insane lead.

There's this awesome guy.

You may or may not
remember his name, uh,

Mill Blair...

MIKE (ON PHONE): Oh yeah.

MIKE: Mill Blair is a
stone cold cool cat.

I mean, this is one of
the guys that started

Easyriders magazine.

This guy is an American icon.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
You're going to go see him.

MIKE (ON PHONE): Really?
FRANK (ON PHONE): Really?

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
It's all Easy Rider motorcycle

memorabilia stuff.

MIKE (ON PHONE):
How in the hell,

did you get into this place?

I've been trying to get
into this place and a lot

of people have for years.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
Yeah, it's, it's girl magic.

FRANK (ON PHONE):
We appreciate it.

And we're going
to make you proud.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE): Ok, bye.

[♪]

MIKE: I cannot believe
we are going to his house.

FRANK: This is awesome.

FRANK: Look at this
guy's neighborhood, man.

MIKE: No one even
has a weed in their yard.

FRANK: Wherever we
find the stuff, you know,

don't matter to me.

MIKE: Oh yeah.

FRANK: Yeah, this is it.

MIKE: This is it.

FRANK: Look at the bikes.

MIKE: We have found Nirvana.

MIKE: Mill!

FRANK: He's got his
motorcycles sitting outside,

beer cans on the porch.
I mean a true old biker.

FRANK: How are
you doing? I'm Frank.

MILL: How are ya?
MIKE: Hey I'm Mike.

MILL: Nice to meet ya.
Mike. MIKE: Nice to meet you.

FRANK: We knew we were
in the right place when we

seen these motorcycles
when we pulled up.

MILL: Yeah.

MIKE: You still building bikes?

MILL: Yup.

MIKE: No kidding.

MILL: I just finished
this one for my son.

MIKE: Oh wow.

MILL: '93 and shovelhead.

[♪]

MIKE: Mill, how long
you been building bikes?

MILL: Since about 1962.

MILL: We started and made
our own frames, our own

front ends, our own
wheels, our own fenders, our

own gas tanks, our own seats,
wired everything ourselves.

Built our own
motors. Everything.

MIKE: You know, thinking
about it, you created that

whole culture.

MILL: Part of it. Yeah.

MIKE: Him and two other
dudes rode from Minnesota

to Southern California,
lived on the beach,

opened a Chopper shop and saw
what was happening around them.

What that was was Southern
California Chopper culture.

These guys wanted to
capture that in a magazine.

MILL: Yeah, well
Easyriders tried to talk

to people, at their level,
you know, be part of it,

not just talk down or stuff.

FRANK: Right.

MILL: And that's what
made the difference.

MIKE: Everybody wanted
to be the guys they saw in

Easyriders magazine.

MIKE: Can we look
around a little bit?

MILL: Yeah. Start in here.

MIKE: Ok. Yeah.

[♪]

MILL: All kinds
of stuff to look at.

MIKE: Oh Franky.

FRANK: Oh,
where do I look first?

MIKE: It's packed.

FRANK: So we go into his
garage and he's got boxes

piled to the ceiling.

So far, it's looking good.

MIKE: You were collecting
a lot of different stuff.

MILL: Uh, it's
called pack ratting.

MIKE: We love pack rats. Me
and Franky started out as pack rats.

FRANK: Sure did.

MIKE: Oh look at this.

MIKE: This is pretty smokin'.

Where'd you get that at?

MILL: From Evel.

MIKE: The first thing
I see right away is an

Evel Knievel jacket.

I'm a huge Evel Knievel fan.

MILL: Sometime in the
early 70s, he was doing a

jump in Vegas, at
the convention centre.

MIKE: Yeah.

MILL: And we had a show there
and we were at the end booth.

MIKE: Mill told me he was
there when Evel one of his

famous jumps at the Las
Vegas Convention Centre.

MILL: He come over
the jump like this crashed,

went through the doors.

I went and helped picked
him up and take the bike

off of his burning leg.

MIKE: I have an Evel
Knievel documentary and

he talks about that.

Evel came to LA and
gave Mill this jacket.

After he told me that story,
I'm thinking to myself, man,

if I could buy this thing,
this would be incredible.

MIKE: Is this for sale?

MILL: For you, yeah, if
you want to make the right

offer, of course.

MIKE: Well, uh... That is best.

200 bucks.

MILL: Uh... 225.

MIKE: Alright, I got to
have this man, alright. 225.

MILL: Hey.

FRANK: There you go.

MIKE: I'm on that. I
broke the ice, man.

MIKE: I was so
excited to own it.

MIKE: You just walk in
the door here and it's like

history unfolding right
in front of your face.

[♪]

MIKE: Why you kind
of interested in selling a

few things now?

MILL: Well, a lot of this
stuff I've had for 30, 40

years and I've enjoyed
it and now it's time for

somebody else to enjoy it.

That's how I look at it.

MIKE: This is like the
perfect scenario in a pick.

It's, it's almost like the
picking gods are like

shining down upon us.

We've got a good rapport going.

FRANK: You have any of
the old Easy Rider stuff from

back in the 70s?

MILL: Oh yeah.

MILL: I did the magazine from
1971 'til, I think it was 1987.

FRANK: That's the first one?

MILL: Yeah.

FRANK: One thing I found
when I was at Mill's was a

private stash binder and
what that was was the

first 12 original magazines.

This is a great piece.

MILL: That's my
favorite painting.

FRANK: What would you
get for this, this pack of,

uh, books here?

MILL: I don't know.

Probably, I'd have to get
at least, 3, 400 bucks for it.

They're all brand new.

FRANK: Yeah, how about 225?

MILL: How about 250?

FRANK: Alright, let's do it.

MILL: Ok.

FRANK: I'm pumped up.
That's a great start for me.

I have the original set
of 12 that I paid 250 for.

[♪]

FRANK: Do you
ever get any old toys?

Motorcycle toys or anything?

MILL: Uh, there's
about 500 back there.

FRANK: Alright.

FRANK: So this is
like anything else,

the further you go back...

MILL: The further you go back...

FRANK: The older it gets.

MILL: in time.

FRANK: You know, sometimes
the things that you want

are at the very bottom
of the pile, so you got to

put some serious effort to
dig down there and find it.

[♪]

MIKE: You getting
into anything, Franky?

FRANK: I'm trying to get
back to the old motorcycle toys.

I keep going to get to the back.

[♪]

FRANK: I almost
went through every one.

I'm moving to the very back.

FRANK: You know, I had
to look through countless,

countless, countless boxes
and in the very last box,

I found four motorcycle toys.

I'm a big collector of those.

FRANK: I found these
motorcycle toys over here.

FRANK: This one winds over.

FRANK: One was a windup
toy, it was made in the

1950s and it was in great shape.

FRANK: Most of these
toys, this mark, this falls off.

FRANK: Since this
one still had its legs,

this would be very
important to a collector.

FRANK: That's called a
Venus, that's made in 1953.

FRANK: I found a really
cool Harley Davidson

friction drive toy.

This toy had some really
nice detail on the engine.

I mean, these pieces
are hard to find.

FRANK: It's called a tip
over and it winds up and

when it comes
down, it tips over.

FRANK: It was made in the 1930s,

it's a great piece, it
was in great condition,

highly collectible.

[♪]

MILL: Now they're
worth about $100.

FRANK: Not to me,
they wouldn't be.

Real nice ones, nice
ones go for 125, 150.

FRANK: You know,
instead of trying to give him a

price separately for each
bike, I decided to bundle 'em

together and give him
one price for all of them.

FRANK: Um... you know,
I'd probably be maybe

450 for these four.

MILL: Ok.

FRANK: Alright.

MILL: Done deal.

FRANK: I was really happy
to get those motorcycle toys

and it just goes to show
you that persistence pays off.

MILL: Here's a
Knucklehead knuckle.

MIKE: Did you see
this? Oh my god.

FRANK: What are
you seeing, Mike?

MIKE: On a pick like this,
you never know what to expect.

I see a Vincent motor and
it's like a piece of jewelry, man.

Vroom.

FRANK: Wow.

MIKE: This is heavy duty, man.

MIKE: The Vincent
motorcycle is one of

the sexiest motorcycles
on the planet.

This engine is the heart of
one of those motorcycles.

You better check your pulse
if you don't think it's cool.

[♪]

MIKE: Where'd you find this at?

MILL: I got it in Argentina.

MIKE: You had it
shipped from Argentina?

MILL: Yeah.

MIKE: How long ago?

MILL: Oh about 20 years.

The guy in Argentina was
an old friend of Phil Vincent's

father and Phil
Vincent came from

Argentina to England, went
to college and then he met

Davies and started
building the Vincent motors.

MIKE: I'm thinking
this thing's 1948.

MILL: I have a license
plate for it and a pink slip.

MIKE: That's wild, man.

MIKE: He says it's
rebuilt, it's got a title and

I'm in awe, man, I mean,
you never find stuff like this.

If I can buy this thing,
this is the big purchase

we need on this trip.

MIKE: What do you
want for this motor?

MILL: Oh, I, I probably
got to get about 16 for it.

MIKE: 16 grand.

MIKE: Mill throws out
a number on the engine,

way too high, no meat
on the bone there for me.

MIKE: How about 10 grand?

MILL: I'll go 14.

MIKE: How about 11,000 bucks?

MILL: 13.

MIKE: Let me, let me think
about it, you said you had

another shed to look in, right?

Let me think about that.

MIKE: I had to back away
on the Vincent motor and

let things cool
down just a little bit.

If you push a guy too
much all he's going to do is

dig his heels in and
hold fast to his price.

FRANK: Let's look
around a little bit more.

MIKE: Alright.

MILL: Yeah, let's
mellow out on that one.

MIKE: Alright. Alright.
FRANK: Alright.

MIKE: One of the things
that I remember when I was

a little kid about
Easy Rider magazine,

the David Mann stuff,
all the centerfold paintings

or prints of his then.

MIKE: When you opened
up an Easy Rider magazine,

every single month, you'd
go right to the David Mann

and you'd check it out.

He was an artist that
actually captured the

whole feeling, the culture
of Southern California

Chopper scene, man.

MIKE: Wow. This is a real deal.

MILL: Yup.

MIKE: David Mann
had his own unique style.

This guy is like the
Leonardo DiVinci of the

Chopper world.

MIKE: So how did you guys
end up with his original artwork?

I mean, I know in the
position you were in,

but did you have to
pay for this back then?

MILL: It made a deal with them.

We would buy the painting,
we don't want to rent it

or not, we want to buy it.

MIKE: Ok, so once,
once it actually ran in the

magazine, it, it, you
owned the artwork.

MILL: We owned, yeah.

MIKE: These things
are laying on the floor in

Mill's garage.

I've got to own one of these.

MIKE: Now let me ask
you this... how much is

something like this?

He grabbed a hold of his heart.

MILL: Quite a bit of change.

MIKE: Alright. I'm a
big boy. Hit me with it.

MILL: Ok, probably about, uh, 7.

MIKE: 7 Gs. That's
a lot of money, man.

MIKE: I wanted this
painting as much as I did

the Vincent motor, but the
only chance for me to get

these items was to
do a package deal.

MIKE: Let me ask you
this, you know, I had interest

in that Vincent motor, how
about 15K for this and the

Vincent motor?

MIKE: I offer Mill 15
grand for the painting and

the Vincent motor, that's
where I need to be on both

of these items to
make some money.

MILL: I get 10 seconds
to think about it.

I got to think.

Talk about something
else for a minute.

MIKE: Alright.

FRANK: Alright.

MIKE: I could tell that
Mill was emotionally

attached to this
painting and this motor.

It's a really tough
struggle for him.

I mean, these are two items
that he's had a long time.

MILL: I'll go 17 on the two...
the motor and the painting.

FRANK: That means that's 5
for that and 12 on the motor.

MIKE: That's a little
rich for my blood.

Southern California's been
good to us, but not that good.

FRANK: Yeah.

MIKE: I'm at 15 grand.
You're at 17 grand.

We've already spent
some other money here,

that's where I feel
comfortable on it.

MIKE: So Mill and I
are going back and forth

on this painting and this motor.

And I'm sweating it,
man, I mean 15 K is a lot of

money for me and
Franky on this trip.

MIKE: I appreciate it and I
don't want you to think I don't.

I, I love being here and I
love looking through this

stuff, but when I'm at 15
on something that, uh, and

this far away from
home, that's, that's like

serious money for me.

MILL: 15.

MIKE: You want to do 15?

MILL: Alright.

MIKE: Alright. Thanks, man.

MILL: You owe me a beer.

MIKE: Alright, I'll, I
owe you a beer, man.

MILL: The reason I
sold the Vincent was that

I've had it for 20 years.

I mean, I love the thing,
like the, really do love it,

but, it's just sitting there.

And he's looking at these
paintings, like with his

mouth open, so I was
impressed that he really

liked it that much.

And I'm, I want to share it.

MIKE: We're going to load
some of this stuff up we bought.

FRANK: This was
a fantastic stop.

I bought a couple
cool little things.

I bought the motorcycle toys.

They're small, they're
collectible, I was able to

bundle four together for
$450, I think I did really good.

MIKE: Someone out there
is dying to that Vincent motor.

Mill loved the thing
enough to let it go.

Now it's going to have
somebody's knees in the

breeze going down the road
powering a Vincent motorcycle.

MIKE: I'm not sure if I
can bring myself to sell

this David Mann
painting, but if I do let it go,

I'm thinking it could
bring at least $8000.

MIKE: Alright Mill, thanks, man.

MILL: It's been a pleasure.

MIKE: It was.

FRANK: Thanks
for your hospitality.

MIKE: It was a good time.

MILL: Drive careful.

MIKE: You know what? So
many stories, so many memories

you have, you, you lived
it, man, you're still living it.

MILL: It was a good day.

FRANK: See you, Mill!

MILL: Take care!

MILL: It felt good that they
really liked what they saw.

They haven't gone Hollywood yet.

MIKE: I'm going to
throw it out there...

FRANK: Throw it out.

MIKE: That was a honey hole.

FRANK: That was a honey hole.

MIKE: That was a honey hole.

FRANK: That was one that
you don't come across very often.

Just think of all the
other people that have

tried to get in there
in their lifetime.

And I tell you what?

That's what builds us up.

People are like, oh my
gosh, you were at Mill's.

If you guys can get in there,
you guys can get in anywhere.

[♪]

FRANK: Look at those palm trees.

MIKE: California's beautiful.

[phone rings]

FRANK: Hold on.
California is beautiful.

FRANK (ON PHONE): Hello?

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
Hey, how are you doing?

How's sunny California?

FRANK (ON PHONE):
Sunny California is a little bit

better than Iowa
right now, we think.

MIKE (ON PHONE):
Yeah, it's got some good,

we got some fish tacos...

FRANK (ON PHONE):
Girls in bikinis...

MIKE (ON PHONE): Uh huh.

MIKE (ON PHONE): California
girls are looking good, man,

I wish they could
all be California girls.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE): Awesome.

Well I see you're having
fun while I'm back here

trying to make sure you have
the most amazing pick ever.

FRANK (ON PHONE): Thank you.

Thank you. We appreciate
that thought. Fill us in.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
So there's a gentleman by

the name of Bird.

This guy is just notorious
around California for

being like the
like surfing legend.

He's got a warehouse
full of surfboards and some

really cool stuff so
you're gonna go over there

and meet with him.

His place is not open to
the public, so this is not

the place that just
anybody can go through.

You have to be a special
dude to get into this place.

There's also a
gentleman named Rick.

Now he's the curator for the
Surfing Museum in California.

He can help you out with
anything you need so if

you come into some
really cool surfboard stuff,

give him a call and
he'll help you out with it.

MIKE: That's perfect, because
you know what, Franky?

I was thinking if we found
some stuff out here, we'd

need a contact for that.

FRANK (ON PHONE): Alright
Mister Hand, we'll talk to you later.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE): Bye.

MIKE: Mister Hand.

[♪]

FRANK: I think it's right
around this corner here,

but was that X a
California stop?

MIKE: Oh and I cruised through?

FRANK: Yeah, you just kind of...

MIKE: That's California
that everybody's so laid back.

FRANK: Alright,
there it is, there it is.

MIKE: Oh yeah, that's it.

MIKE: So we pull up to
Bird's and right away you

can tell this is the place.

FRANK: Let's hit it.

FRANK: This building's
awesome, dude.

FRANK: As soon as I
walk into this place, I've got

the California vibe.

MIKE: Hey Bird!

FRANK: He's got
all these surfboards.

I mean, you could just feel
like you're right in the water.

MIKE: Looks like
we're in the right place.

BIRD: Kind of
tricky to find it, huh?

FRANK: Kind of.

MIKE: Well it was, you
know, but then we saw the

big wave on the front
of the building, I'm like,

this has got to be it.

MIKE: The inside of
it looks like a wave.

BIRD: Yeah, it does actually.

MIKE: You're in
the pipe right now.

BIRD: Yeah you do.

[♪]

MIKE: It looks like you've
been doing this for a while, huh.

BIRD: About 40 years.

FRANK: 40 years? Oh boy.

BIRD: Started working
when I was 13...

MIKE: In a surf shop?

BIRD: Yeah. There were
only like two shops in town.

MIKE: Really?

BIRD: Making leashes, that
was like one of my first jobs.

[♪]

BIRD: So I punched the
holes, put the grommets in it,

I tied the knot, sell these
suckers for like 5.95.

BIRD: I never got
paid anyways, because

everything I ever made
went to equipment.

FRANK: Bird must have
made a lot of surf leashes.

This place is
packed with boards.

BIRD: That's where my
passion developed because

I, I surf ok, um, I can't
shape a lick, but I can

appreciate the history and
because I hung with older

guys and they were
kind of mentors, I started

collecting stuff.

Each little thing was
like a piece in a puzzle.

This guy shaped that
board, so I had to have that.

And this guy made that fin
design, so I had to have this.

It just started to
accumulate and,

somewhere I
kind of lost control.

FRANK: Me and Mike
don't know a lot about

surfboards, you know,
being here with Bird,

I mean, this guy's
like an encyclopedia.

So we asked him
to school us a little bit

on a few of the boards.

BIRD: What you're seeing
over here to your left,

those are the big ones,
those are your traditional

60s models, you know.

FRANK: What's this?

BIRD: This is a, uh, a
bonzer, by a guy by the

name of Mike Heaton.

You got some radical
design on the bottom.

FRANK: Yeah.

BIRD: Your big fins
actually channel the water

out the back and that
thing is like literally

like a rudder, straight up,
so you can pivot off of it.

MIKE: When he talked
about these boards he talked

about them like they had a
pulse, man, like they were

part of his family.

FRANK: We're kind of
interested in a couple boards.

BIRD: You want to buy some?

FRANK: Yeah.

BIRD: I normally
don't sell too much,

but I'll bet you could look
hard enough, you guys

will find a couple things
you could walk home with.

FRANK: I love this one.

FRANK: I thought
they were heavier.

MIKE: How about this pink one?

FRANK: Look at the way
they've got the thing over the top.

MIKE: Look at the size of this.

FRANK: What about the
bamboo one down there,

was that like a custom
paint job on it or...?

FRANK: I was kind of
drawn to this fish board.

BIRD: They're basically
designed by one of the

premiere designers out of
San Diego by the name of

Steve Lis.

[♪]

FRANK: There was a
famous guy that made 'em.

He was the first person
to come up with the actual

design on the back there.

BIRD: It was at a time
when airbrushing spraying

on the foam was relatively new.

And to get this kind of
effect, the bamboo effect,

you had to be an artist.

FRANK: And I thought, man.

This is the kind of
board I'd love to have.

BIRD: Some boards just
have, you just can feel it,

you touch it, you
can feel the energy.

FRANK: What would
the price on that be?

BIRD: 600 bucks.

FRANK: 600?

BIRD: Yeah.

FRANK: I thought it wasn't
that big a deal, I thought

it was like 3 of 400.

BIRD: Oh, well 3 or 400
if you want to like not have

the fins on it.

FRANK: Oh, it's got fins?

FRANK: The price that
Bird was quoting me on the

Honolua board was
just a little bit high.

I was definitely
interested, but I wasn't

ready to bite yet.

MIKE: I gotta ask
you, a plastic fantastic,

what can you tell me about it?

MIKE: I'm in the temple
of surfboards and I look up

and I see the plastic
fantastic surfboard god.

BIRD: It's a top quality board
from about 75, maybe 76.

That design is called a
stinger, you can see the

abrupt, uh, cut in
the tail of the board.

It's a wing.

MIKE: What's the
value of that board?

BIRD: Well, it's about 12, 14.

MIKE: I bowed down before
it and I'm thinking to myself,

hopefully this is a board
that Bird will sell me.

MIKE: I don't want to
leave here without a board.

FRANK: Oh yeah, we should
get a plastic fantastic or this fish.

MIKE: I think we should
make a phone call.

MIKE: So Franky and I
have a few boards in mind, but

after seeing that plastic
fantastic board, I had to

give a call over to the
museum to talk to Rick about it.

MIKE (ON PHONE): Hey
Rick? This is Mike and Frank.

RICK (ON PHONE): Hey. I
heard you guys are on the coast.

MIKE (ON PHONE): We
are on the coast and we're

looking at some boards and
basically we want to know,

you know, where we
stand on some of this stuff.

Can you help us out?

RICK (ON PHONE): Oh absolutely.

MIKE (ON PHONE):
What about a board called a

plastic fantastic.

It's a single fin stinger.

RICK (ON PHONE):
Wow, that's a good board.

MIKE (ON PHONE):
He's asking around

12 or 14 hundred
bucks on that board.

RICK (ON PHONE): Ok, if
it's a Stinger with colour...

MIKE (ON PHONE): Bright colors.

RICK (ON PHONE): Good shape?

MIKE (ON PHONE): Great shape.

RICK (ON PHONE): 12
to 14 is a pretty good price.

FRANK: Ok.

RICK (ON PHONE): We've
actually been looking for

a Stinger for a while.

If you guys can get that
one, we might be willing

to buy it off you.

MIKE: Rick talked about
how he didn't have a

plastic fantastic.

He talked about the
significance of that board

and you could tell
that he was jacked up.

RICK (ON PHONE): Aloha, goodbye!

FRANK (ON PHONE):
Have a good one, Rick.

MIKE (ON PHONE):
Thank you so much. Bye bye.

MIKE: After speaking to
Rick, we now know that the

plastic fantastic board is
a really good buy and with

Franky interested in the
other two boards, we're

prepared to make an offer.

MIKE: Bird!

BIRD: Yo!

FRANK: I knew that if I tried
to buy each board separately,

I probably wouldn't be
able to get a good price.

MIKE: Alright.

FRANK: Alright we
did a little talking...

MIKE: So we're thinking to
ourselves, you know what?

This is a perfect
bundle situation.

BIRD: Oh three pack deal?

FRANK: Yeah. Three
pack deal. You ready?

BIRD: I'm not sure yet.
Let me sit against my car.

MIKE: Yeah, good,
hold on to the car.

BIRD: Yeah.

FRANK: Steve Lis... 1000.
Plastic Fantastic... 1000.

This one... 500.
Total - 2500 cash.

MIKE: So me and Franky
are trying to catch a good

wave on this negotiation.

BIRD: Would that
make you guys happy?

FRANK: That'd make us happy.

MIKE: That'd make us happy.

BIRD: Not me.

MIKE: Well, I thought
we were almost there.

FRANK: I guess Bird wasn't
going for the bundling technique.

BIRD: You wanted
to give me 2500.

I wanted to get 2800.

You give me 2700, I'll be happy.

MIKE: Stick both your hands up.

BIRD: Oh! Did we reach a deal?

MIKE: We did. It's a deal.

BIRD: Letting some of
those boards go today is,

is super hard.

BIRD: You have to
hold the death ladder.

BIRD: It's a lot easier
for me to, to take, you

know, the buck if I know
that wherever the item's

going to go, that there's,
you know, there's a

thought behind it.

MIKE: Oh yeah,
Franky, this thing's bad.

FRANK: At the end of the
day we were able to buy

some great pieces.

We spent $2700.

And I think we made
some good buys.

FRANK: When we get
back down here, we'll stop in

here and see you.

MIKE: A couple corn cobs
getting out of a van and scoring.

This is perfect for us.

BIRD: Mike and Frank
might have called themselves

corncobbers, you know,
coming in here, but what

they walked out with is, is
really a wealth of knowledge.

BIRD: Fly safe!

FRANK: Hang loose!

[♪]

MIKE: You know, one
thing I noticed out here...

FRANK: What?

MIKE: 15 year old kids driving
around in brand new Corvettes.

FRANK: Look at,
there's a Ferrari.

There's a Prowler.
There's another Ferrari.

Everybody's got
nice car out here.

MIKE: I don't think any of
these people need our money.

FRANK: I don't think so either.

[phone rings]

FRANK (ON PHONE): Danielle.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE): Hello.

MIKE (ON PHONE): You
sound like you're in a good mood.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
There's a gentleman named

Alfie and he actually, he
lives in the mountains of

Malibu and he has acres of land.

MIKE: Wow.

FRANK (ON PHONE): Ok.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
He's lived there since the 70s.

Seems a little bit
eccentric and fun.

FRANK (ON PHONE): Probably
like a hippie or something like...

MIKE (ON PHONE): So
he's up in the hills of Malibu,

kicking it?

FRANK (ON PHONE):
That'd be cool.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE):
I will warn you though, like

the, the road up to his
house is a little tricky,

so be careful.

FRANK (ON PHONE):
Alright, we'll check him out.

Send us the coordinates
and, uh, we'll see what

goes on with him.

DANIELLE (ON PHONE): Done.

FRANK (ON PHONE):
Alright. See ya.

MIKE (ON PHONE):
Bye. Bye, Frank loves you.

MIKE: Danielle gave
us a hot lead in the 'Bu.

If you don't know what the
'Bu is, you shouldn't even

be picking in California.

We're in Malibu.

FRANK: This is like movie
star area around here.

MIKE: This is full on rock star.

FRANK: If we pulled in
people would be thinking

we're like trying to give 'em a
bid on gardening or something.

[♪]

MIKE: It's amazing that
Danielle finds the only

dude, probably, that's
like the mega junk collector.

FRANK: It's the
original guy here.

MIKE: This guy bought
when the price was right in

Malibu, back in the 70s.

He's a Vietnam vet, he
likes to collect old records,

she said, he's got a
lot of eclectic things.

FRANK: I think
it's right up here.

MIKE: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

FRANK: Right here.

MIKE: Ok.

FRANK: I tell you what,
don't be speeding around

like you usually do.

This is sand. This
stuff can give away.

FRANK: I mean, there's
a lot of areas where,

you know, if you got off too
far to the left, you're gone.

FRANK: Whoa.

MIKE: This is four
wheel picking, man.

FRANK: No doubt.

MIKE: This is like
a goat path, dude.

FRANK: Finally we
come up, there it is.

MIKE: Everything's
covered up with tarps,

so Hobo Jack
situation going on here.

[♪]

FRANK: I think I
see him up here.

That's got to be
the guy right there.

MIKE: Hopefully this is him.

FRANK: I hope so.

MIKE: Hey, are you
Alfie? ALFIE: Yeah.

MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.

FRANK: We're glad to hear that.

MIKE: Oh man, no kidding.

FRANK: You are
off the beaten track.

ALFIE: Yeah.

MIKE: With Malibu
being such a small area...

ALFIE: Yeah.

MIKE: To find a guy
in this area that collects

like you do is, is crazy.

ALFIE: Yeah, yeah, I love it.

I hate to see anything
go to the trash, you know.

FRANK: Yeah.

MIKE: Uh huh.

FRANK: Alfie was
a genuine hippie.

I mean his hair's a little
shorter than I thought it

was going to be, but I
mean, he's still got that

laid back groovy, hey,
take a chill pill here,

have some of my food, relax.

MIKE: Danielle talked to
you on the phone, she said

you had a few things and...

ALFIE: Yeah, I got stuff
that's way under other

stuff, you know.

FRANK: Yeah.

MIKE: Yeah, alright
we love to dig.

MIKE: This looks like a
place that we dreamed

about picking.

There's lots of stuff
in the yard, there's

buildings you can see.

His house is really cool.

I'm thinking this is
going to be a great pick.

MIKE: So how many
acres you got here?

ALFIE: I got 9.

MIKE: Wow. This is incredible.

I could see how you never
get tired of the view here.

ALFIE: Up here things
haven't changed, you know,

and it's pretty quiet,
it's away from it all.

MIKE: Right away I spot this
piece to an old carnival ride.

MIKE: What's that thing?
Is that like an airplane?

ALFIE: Uh, yeah.

That was, uh, a kiddie
ride in the 1940s, uh,

at a place called Lake Enchanto.

MIKE: Close to here?

ALFIE: Yeah, just down the hill.

FRANK: Ok, so a local piece.

[♪]

MIKE: I wanted this
carnival piece because it

had a great story, great
history and that means a

lot to collectors, to have
apiece and to know the

background is everything.

MIKE: Alfie, would you
sell something like this?

ALFIE: Oh gosh, that's
a lot, that has local

history attached,

I, I, uh, uh, no.

MIKE: That ride had
sentimental value to Alfie.

It was from a local
carnival and the thing had

been through an inferno.

ALFIE: You know, it even
made it through the fire.

It was pretty bad.

We lost, uh, I guess
everything except for the land.

ALFIE: The fire was
October 23rd, 1978.

It was a real windy day
and it, uh, moved fast.

[♪]

MIKE: Alfie loved his
stuff so much and this

property so much that
he actually stayed there

during this wildfire.

ALFIE: The fire storm,
get in the car, roll up the

windows, it's the only air
you're going to have to breathe.

It got really hot, like
an oven in there and

everything was white hot
outside, the horn went off

and the tires started
popping and then the glass

broke, jumped out and
started running through

the fire like this and,
and, uh, my hands bubbled

up and my eyes got swollen shut.

It was a bad thing.

MIKE: Damn.

MIKE: I mean when he
was telling us that story,

it was extremely moving.

I mean, just to talk to
somebody that had survived

something like that.

ALFIE: I had a big
collection and then got

burned out, so then I
wanted to recollect and

then I just went
overboard and just started

collecting everything.

MIKE: This is one of
the best parts of our job is

meeting people, hearing
their stories and just

kind of getting in their
mind a little bit on why

they collect stuff.

MIKE: Good stuff's always good.

ALFIE: Yeah.

MIKE: We're always
looking for the good stuff too.

ALFIE: I hear ya.

MIKE: This place is crazy,
I mean, there's acres and

acres of junk on the
side of a mountain.

It's incredible.

[♪]

ALFIE: Ah, come on in.

MIKE: Alright. This is awesome.

ALFIE: Yeah, you got
to squeeze in sideways.

MIKE: Alfie takes us into
his house and his house is

like Mount Alfie.

FRANK: This is just
the place we like to be in.

MIKE: Franky, this
place goes on, man.

FRANK: We got some
shirts, some shoes, slippers.

MIKE: I like that.
That's done well.

It looks like it's
been here for a while.

MIKE: I did come across
a really cool drawing of a

cowboy on a bucking bronco
and it was in the original frame.

I had to have it.

MIKE: How much you want for this

old buckin' bronco
etching, it looks like?

ALFIE: Oh, uh, 5 bucks?

MIKE: 5 bucks?

MIKE: It's a sweet deal
and I jumped right on it.

MIKE: Come here,
Huckleberry. That's cool, man.

[♪]

FRANK: Here's
the guitar collection.

FRANK: I noticed he
had some guitars up in the

rafters, you know, and
all that information I got at

Mike Brown's about instruments
came rushing back at me.

MIKE BROWN: I literally paid
50 bucks for that at a yard sale.

FRANK: What's the value of this?

MIKE BROWN: I would think
probably around like 2300,

something like that.

MIKE: Holey moley.

MIKE: What you got
Franky? It's a bass.

FRANK: I looked down
and here's a bass guitar.

It has no strings on it,
it's missing the bridge,

it was made by Lyle Company,
which is made in Japan.

FRANK: Do you
remember where you got it?

ALFIE: Yeah, a garage sale.

MIKE: Want to take a
chance on it, Franky?

FRANK: I'll take a chance.

FRANK: How much
did you pay for it?

ALFIE: 10 bucks.

FRANK: You want to
double your money?

ALFIE: Yeah, I guess so.

FRANK: I had to buy it.
It's got a great look to it.

It'd be just a great
piece to put in a corner

somewhere on
somebody's wall. I love it.

MIKE: Oh there's
a staircase here.

FRANK: I know this is awesome.

MIKE: What are all
these boxes right here?

Are these books
or like you have...

ALFIE: Those are 45s.

FRANK: Oh,

MIKE: That's your
record collection.

MIKE: This is all albums
back in here, Franky.

FRANK: You've got the
biggest album collection

I've ever seen.

MIKE: How many albums
do you think you have total?

ALFIE: 550,000.

FRANK: You could listen to
an album every hour on the

hour for the next 65 years.

FRANK: How does he keep
track of all these albums, man?

Look at all, I bet there's
some killer 45s in here.

Here's Queen. I'm
in love with my car.

Here's Booker T and the MGs.

MIKE: Now in this day
and age, all you do is hit the

buy button and you download it.

I mean, back then, man,
you put the album on, you

cleaned it, and then
when you're listening to the

album, you could go
through the cover and read

the lyrics and look at the
photographs and make that

connection with the band.

All that is a time
period that's gone.

FRANK: Alfie, how do
you know what's where?

ALFIE: We have, uh, I
got a few of 'em that I don't

know where they are.

They're underneath stuff.

I'm not sure where I put 'em.

MIKE: I just don't know
enough about records to

justify searching through
a half a million of 'em.

Chances are if I did
find something great,

I wouldn't know it
anyway, so we moved on.

MIKE: Alright, can
we look outside?

ALFIE: Alright.

MIKE: This is just a
bunch of stuff you got all

together Alfie?

ALFIE: Yeah.

[♪]

MIKE: After some digging,
I found a box with a few

interesting items in it.

MIKE: Oh yeah. Look
at her. Beach Girl.

FRANK: Came out the trophy...

MIKE: She's diving in.

MIKE: It was a bronze statue
of a girl in a one piece suit.

She's in a diving position.

It's signed, really cool
piece, I had to have it.

MIKE: That's cool.
Would you sell that?

ALFIE: I, I kind
of like it, but, uh...

MIKE: How much would it cost
for you not to like it anymore?

ALFIE: Oh man, I don't know.

MIKE: How about, uh... 30 bucks?

ALFIE: Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I guess so.

FRANK: You don't
like it that much?

MIKE: You're
breaking up with her?

You're going to break
up with her for 30?

You must not have
liked her that much?

Alright, thanks man.

ALFIE: Alright.

MIKE: She's a beauty.

FRANK: Interesting. It's
kind of like a little steamboat.

ALFIE: Yeah.

FRANK: It's a, uh, a Weeden...

MIKE: [inaudible]?

FRANK: Mm hm.

[♪]

ALFIE: It's missing
the burner box, I hear.

FRANK: On the bottom?

ALFIE: On the bottom.

FRANK: With the
burner, then it actually,

you might be able
to fill it up, you might

actually be able to
see it work, you know.

FRANK: I mean, I have
never seen one like this.

He said he bought
it at a garage sale.

Steam engine stuff is
very highly sought after and

very collectible.

MIKE: You know
what's wild about it?

It's like, imagine them
making something with a

burner for a kid's toy.

FRANK: I know.

MIKE: You know
what I mean? [laughter]

Here, light this, kid.

FRANK: But there's
no burner and it's

soldered right there,
so would $25 buy it?

ALFIE: Yeah. Sure.

MIKE: Cool.

FRANK: Alright. Deal.

ALFIE: Alright.

FRANK: Thanks.

FRANK: A lot of times
when you're doing our job,

if you see something that
you haven't seen before,

it's time to buy it.

[♪]

MIKE: I love eclectic
collections, like Alfie's,

I mean, every time
you turned the corner,

you're going to find
something different.

MIKE: What's up
with this bomb, Alfie?

ALFIE: Uh, got it from,
uh, uh, a guy that was

in demolition at a garage sale.

MIKE: That's a cool item
to find at a garage sale.

ALFIE: Yeah.

MIKE: I'm always looking
for anything unusual and

this is it.

I mean, this is not a replica.

This is an actual empty
bombshell that they used

for training purposes.

MIKE: Love it. How
about, uh, 60 bucks?

ALFIE: Oh yeah.

MIKE: Would you do that?

ALFIE: Yeah.

MIKE: Alright. ALFIE: Alright.

MIKE: 60 bucks, I'm on it.

ALFIE: Good.

MIKE: Thanks man. I
love it. I think it's cool.

ALFIE: Frank and Mike were
offering more than I would

have, uh, for their more
than I would have paid for

things, you know, and
I'm just happy to have a

little less to deal with.

MIKE: I'll hang
this up in the shop.

I'll put a sign on there
says complaint department.

[♪]

FRANK: Alfie, I
found this railroad light.

ALFIE: Oh yeah, that one.

FRANK: I find this
railroad lantern.

It's got a crack in one of
the lens, but it's a great piece.

It's very collectible.

ALFIE: Well, I, uh, went
to a garage sale and I saw

it, uh, and so I got it,
uh, along with a bunch of

records he had.

FRANK: I mean, it looks
like it's pretty decent condition.

This has got a name on
it, which is kind of nice.

It says St Louis on here.

ALFIE: Uh huh.

FRANK: It's cracked,
but it's still there.

FRANK: Would this
be something you'd be

interested in selling?

ALFIE: Well, I guess
I could, but I paid

a lot of money for it.

FRANK: Would 70 buy it?

ALFIE: Oh golly, honestly
I, I'd lose money at that.

I paid 80 bucks for it.

I'd sell you for it
for what I paid for it.

Honestly I paid 80.

FRANK: That's... 80?

ALFIE: Yeah.

FRANK: You know
what? I think it's pretty cool.

You want to get out
from underneath it at 80,

I'll take it.

ALFIE: Alright.

FRANK: Alright.

ALFIE: Got it.

FRANK: Good deal.

MIKE: When you think of
Malibu, you think of movie stars,

you think of celebrities,
but we found a guy

that's the king of Malibu
on the top of that mountain.

MIKE: So with everybody
moving up into this area,

has anybody approached
you and said, you know what?

We'd love to buy this property.

ALFIE: Oh yeah. Yeah.

There's a big fight for
land on the mountain now

and, uh, there's all kinds
of people stepping forward

that are really wealthy
that want it, you know.

MIKE: But sometimes that's
maybe got to be tempting

when it's just like, you
know, you could sell this

property and just never
have to do anything the

rest of your life.

ALFIE: I don't want to sell it.

I'm going to keep
it. I love it here.

I couldn't find anything better.

FRANK: No, you've got a
piece of heaven here. I mean...

ALFIE: This is it for me.

FRANK: Alfie hasn't changed.

He's still back in the 60s.

This place has stayed the same.

Out there has sped up.

MIKE: This was fun.

FRANK: This was good.

MIKE: We got some cool stuff.

FRANK: Heck yeah.

MIKE: This is diffused, right?

ALFIE: Yeah.

FRANK: Yeah, I don't
want that in the front.

MIKE: I bought the
bombshell for $60 and

I'm going to ask 150 for it.

[♪]

FRANK: I bought
the lantern for $80 and

I think I can get 225.

MIKE: I think I'll sell
this bucking bronco

picture for $75.

MIKE: Alright.

MIKE: Hey.

ALFIE: Alright.

MIKE: Thanks for sharing
those stories with us.

MIKE: He was on the
mountain living his life,

man, just the way he wanted to.

ALFIE: Take it easy.

FRANK: Bye now.

MIKE: The fact that Franky
and I are the ones that

got to pick a place like this
in Malibu, is picking folklore.

MIKE: We couldn't have
dreamed up a pick like that.

FRANK: That's what
I'm talking about.

MIKE: I loved it. I loved it.

MIKE: Again, I got two
words for you-plastic fantastic.

FRANK: I got two
words for you-Lis Fish.

MIKE: After our big pick at
Bird's place the other day,

we're really anxious to
see what kind of boards

we got, so we're heading
over to the California

Surf Museum to get
an expert opinion.

FRANK: I think Rick's
going to really excited.

I mean, we've talked
to him over the phone,

we never met him in person.

MIKE: We're going to
blow his doors off, man,

because when a couple
of Iowa corncobs walk in

there with some smokin'
hot boards, these things

are going to be so cool.

FRANK: Oh.

MIKE: Hey, what's up Julie?

JULIE: How are you guys?

FRANK: I'm Frank.

JULIE: Julie, nice
to meet you guys.

MIKE: Pleasure to meet you too.

MIKE: This is cool, man.

JULIE: Thanks.

MIKE: When we walked into
the surf museum, you could

see the history, the
heritage, the lifestyle,

the culture, it was very cool.

MIKE: So what's
the mission here?

JULIE: Mission is to
preserve surfing heritage.

MIKE: They're not
just working at the surf

museum; they're actually
living this every single

day of their lives.

MIKE: Can we show
you these boards?

JULIE: Love to see it,
I'll go grab Rick and we

can check 'em out.

MIKE: Ok. We'll grab the boards.

FRANK: I got the heavy.

MIKE: Alright.

MIKE: So Rick, good to
put a face with a voice.

FRANK: How are you doing? Frank.

RICK: Beautiful board.

MIKE: Thank you, man.

FRANK: What can
you tell us about this?

RICK: It's for riding
super-fast waves.

Good condition. I like the red.

FRANK: This guy, Rick,
I mean he is a real expert

on these boards.

RICK: This thing
is made to go fast.

MIKE: That's what
we liked about it.

FRANK: Right, cause
it just looks like it's

cutting through the water,
you know what I mean?

MIKE: Talking about
cutting, let's cut to the chase.

How much do you
think this thing's worth?

RICK: Being a
Honolua underground.

The condition's good. The colour
is real good. Um, I'd say $1000.

MIKE: Really?

[♪]

MIKE: Alright, the next one.

It found a special
place in Franky's heart.

FRANK: I was liking that one.

MIKE: He was
really attached to this.

RICK: It's a fish and it
got its name Fish because

of the split tail.

This looks like mid-70s.
The paint is nice.

The bamboo really is nice.

And it actually is,
yeah, this is a Steve Lis.

JULIE: That's the real deal.

This is really
great. Good pickin'.

RICK: There's a lot
of fishes from that era,

but there's not
a lot of Steve Lis.

This is really a
collector's board.

FRANK: Ok.

MIKE: Ok.

MIKE: So, uh, what's the
value on something like this?

RICK: Oh, $2000.

MIKE: Really?

RICK: Oh yeah.

MIKE: 2000 bucks.

JULIE: I want to ride it.

FRANK: I'm happy.

MIKE: She wants to ride it.

[♪]

FRANK: We saved the one
we thought was the sportiest

for the last.

MIKE: Come to poppa.

MIKE: I'm busting out
the plastic fantastic board

and right now I can tell
that Rick and Julie can

see that we found
something really special.

RICK: Beautiful. Wow.

MIKE: Alright,
blow my mind, Rick.

RICK: Oh no, it's blowing
my mind. It's a Stinger.

Ben Aipa designed
this in the early 70s.

This is from Huntington
Beach, plastic fantastic. Hold up.

MIKE: He said it
was the original fin.

RICK: Oh look at
that. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable condition.

RICK: Being the Stinger,
narrow tail and a wide nose.

MIKE: Yeah.

RICK: So it had a
combination and this is

a big milestone board.

I've seen hundreds and
thousands of surfboards

over the years but to
see one in that condition,

it definitely was top quality.

I couldn't believe it.

MIKE: That was amazing to
me, when he was looking at

that plastic fantastic
board, his eyes were all

lit up, he was talking
about the colour,

he was talking
about the condition.

I mean, you could tell that
they really loved this board.

RICK: Everything
about it just shines.

There's probably not a dozen
boards like it in existence.

JULIE: We don't have
one in the collection here so

it's really cool to see
on come in the door.

MIKE: Just looking at
how much they appreciate it

and since we did so
well on the other boards,

it was time to give
something back.

MIKE: For us to bring
a board like this back to

Iowa, to be it really doesn't
make sense because

it seems like, you know,
this being from Huntington

Beach, this being from
Southern California, and

it being a milestone board
and you guys not having

this board in your collection...

I think this board needs
to rest here in this museum.

RICK: Wow.

MIKE: And I would love
to give you this board.

JULIE: Whoa. You guys.

FRANK: This is the place
that this needs to be at.

JULIE: Thank you.

RICK: Unbelievable.

MIKE: Seriously,
guys, thank you.

JULIE: That's so awesome.
Thank you so much you guys.

MIKE: Hey, you know what?

Part of being a picker
is actually taking things

and putting them in their place.

RICK: Beautiful board.

JULIE: Thank you guys.

RICK: It's gonna be a
jewel in our collection.

RICK: Good job Julie.

JULIE: You too.

FRANK: Now you're
gonna have to put a little

caption, Mike and Frank.

MIKE: I mean, when
they put that board in the

museum and they say
donated by Mike and Frank,

from Iowa, that's going
to be a mindblower.

RICK: Wow. What a gift.

JULIE: Thank you. Seeing
those three boards, um,

I was just like, ok,
when can I go for a surf?

FRANK: You know, we're
getting ready to leave,

Julie comes up and says, hey,

have you guys
ever tried surfing?

We're like, we're from
Iowa and we live on the

Mississippi River,
there's no surfing in there.

MIKE: Are you scared?

FRANK: No I'm not scared.

MIKE: Are you nervous?
FRANK: It's just water.

MIKE: I don't know
if you'll float very well.

FRANK: I think I will.

MIKE: You will?
You're pretty buoyant?

FRANK: Yup.

MIKE: There she
goes. There she is.

Check her out,
she's kicking, dude.

MIKE: If I die, you can
have my, um, aerocycle.

FRANK: That's it?

MIKE: You don't want that?

FRANK: I'll take it.
Better than nothing.

MIKE: Franky, you ready?

FRANK: Ready.

MIKE: Alright, let's do this.

MIKE: I'm a picker, man.

And I was trying to
get the picker mentality.

I was like, I'm hoping I
pick the right wave here.

I was out there picking
waves instead of junk.

MIKE: Woo!

That was awesome, man.

JULIE: You put in a good effort.

MIKE: Thank you so much.

JULIE: You're welcome.

MIKE: Oh my god that was so fun.

Alright, I'm ready
for a breakfast burrito.
