FunTranscript
00:00Oh, I need that, I need that, I need a huge basket, and now it's in my head.
00:03♪♪
00:07In 11 years of coming here, have we ever been in line without John?
00:10You gotta be kidding me. He's not here?
00:13What?
00:14That's concerning.
00:15I'm a little concerned.
00:16But you know him in the parking.
00:17I feel like I'm very early in the line.
00:19I'm worried that John's not here with already some perspective and some strategy.
00:22I don't know what John could possibly want at this point.
00:25There's no box of video games, okay?
00:27Glory days are over.
00:28Yeah, what are we here for now?
00:29VHS is for you. You're like the bell of the ball today, right?
00:33Wouldn't it be incredible if we ended up entering without him?
00:35♪ Well, I don't want the world to see me. I just want you to know who I am. ♪
00:44I don't want to throw Matthew out of the bus, but we're four minutes late.
00:46We don't have glow, so we woke up, like,
00:48Refreshed and ready to go!
00:51You know, I don't know what you're gonna find in there.
00:53No idea.
00:53But I've developed this VHS collection.
00:56I've heard, yeah.
00:57Just watch. This will be the year there's no VHS.
00:59This will be the year they cut them all off and just throw them in the garbage dumpster.
01:02Do you think it's gonna be any different this year than it has been every other year?
01:05It better not be.
01:06I've already scoped out the Malasadas situation.
01:08Too fitty.
01:09Cost is relevant, but they're not made here.
01:11They've been ordered, and they said to get them early because they expect to run out,
01:15which to me means yes.
01:16Like, they have bought them, they have been delivered.
01:18Those are courtesy Malasadas.
01:20Courtesy Malasadas.
01:21I'm not even gonna buy one.
01:22Forget it.
01:22I don't want it.
01:23As I remember, last year they were mediocre.
01:25Yeah, well, they were made at some bakery in New Bedford.
01:28What's Malasadas?
01:29It's a delicious Portuguese, like, fried dough.
01:32Look at that group of ladies.
01:33They are clearly Portuguese grandmas that know how to make Malasadas.
01:39It's gonna be nice and hot?
01:40Oh, yeah.
01:41Oh, yeah.
01:41You're welcome.
01:42Oh, it's incredible.
01:43You can't beat it.
01:44This is why I love the trip.
01:46I think it's the best.
01:47You can see the marks where the women speared it while they turned it.
01:51It's a fresh grandma-produced Malasadas.
01:53I'm a little concerned, Frank.
01:54The Malasadas women, they've done a great job for so many years.
01:58They're getting older, and I don't see any new generation to take up the reign.
02:02Malasadas is starting early.
02:04Yeah, yeah.
02:04So I took advantage early.
02:05This is actually pretty good.
02:07It's one of those items that, like, it's a dessert item masquerading as a breakfast food.
02:10Like a full chocolate cake.
02:11You know, eventually, Frank, certain aspects of the church fair are gonna disappear due to lack of new blood.
02:16I think the Malasadas may be one of them.
02:19I don't know.
02:19The interest looks high.
02:21The interest is not the problem.
02:22It's the old ladies.
02:24Mmm.
02:25Oh my god.
02:26I rate it a 9.
02:27I'm having trouble expressing how good it is.
02:28It's very good.
02:29It's bomb.
02:30Sadly, they're not cooking the fresh here.
02:31I don't know if they're cooking the fresh inside.
02:33I'm not sure this was made fresh.
02:34It's very cold.
02:35It's a little rubbery.
02:36It's not warm.
02:37That adds a lot, I think.
02:38It's just not fresh at all, and, you know.
02:40I understand you can't expect everything to last forever.
02:43It is interesting, like, how little this event changes.
02:46It is the exact formula it was in 1994.
02:49Which is curious, because the people have certainly changed.
02:51Yes.
02:52So it's all generational.
02:53Right.
02:53And they feel that they've already perfected it.
02:55Well, maybe they have.
02:55Look at this.
02:56What's this?
02:56What's this?
02:57Early access.
02:57Is that Lightning Pass?
02:58Yeah, Lightning Pass.
02:59Lightning Pass Plus.
03:00Pay $49.99 on the app, please.
03:02Schedule your time with the first banana bug.
03:04Yes, exactly.
03:05Look at all that interest.
03:07I don't know if they know this.
03:08Facebook Marketplace is a non-stop church fair.
03:10It kind of is.
03:10But, you know, I've had problems on Facebook Marketplace with getting people to respond.
03:15Mmm.
03:15Or actually complete the transaction.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Look, the line is getting intense, dude.
03:20What do you think is going to be in there that will be of interest to you?
03:22Nothing.
03:22Kitchen stuff?
03:23Last year, I got those plant things, which I would look for more.
03:26The drawers are open.
03:28Globes.
03:28Globes.
03:29Misc.
03:30This appeals to me.
03:31What do you get for $10?
03:32That's a film camera.
03:3335mm film camera.
03:34What?
03:34That's kind of cute.
03:35What do you got there?
03:36A big old bowl?
03:37Suddenly a big old bowl.
03:38For harvesting and washing veggies from the garden.
03:40Well, what a wonderful find.
03:41Whoa.
03:42This just screams 2000s elegant stuff.
03:45That's nice.
03:46Whoa.
03:47Does it have some color?
03:48It's compartmentalized.
03:49Huge lampshades.
03:51Huge lamp.
03:52Huge lamp.
03:53Somebody check the men's room for a huge ass.
03:56I got a phone call for huge lamp.
03:58When I give a home to you, you're dead.
04:00I swear I'm going to slice your heart in half.
04:02How about some vacuum bags?
04:03This is a product that no longer exists in our modern era.
04:06Remind me what the application was.
04:09You put them in your vacuum and it holds the dirt and dust.
04:11Oh, okay.
04:12So you didn't have the thing that you dump out.
04:13Right.
04:14Why in the world did we do it that way?
04:16I don't know.
04:18Like, well, why did it take us so long to?
04:20Systemic inefficiency?
04:21Yeah.
04:22The section I was kind of counting on.
04:23I see it's all moved to DVD.
04:25Imagine the deal though.
04:26Like, it's a lot of entertainment.
04:28Kirby Enthusiasm Season 4 for a buck in good quality.
04:33That's a good deal.
04:34So, you know how we're always lamenting about like,
04:35oh, you can't get those old NES deals anymore.
04:38Everybody knows the value.
04:39You got to get interested in formats before anyone cares.
04:42That's right.
04:42And so if you're a DVD collector, like someday DVD will be worth something.
04:45It will.
04:46And so right now.
04:47They're grinding them up into pulp as we speak by the millions.
04:50Exactly.
04:51So, find your church fair.
04:53Yeah.
04:53Buy the Kirby Enthusiasm Season 4 for one buck.
04:56Yep.
04:57And get on with your life.
04:57I gave my entire DVD collection except a few to Matt to like sell or donate.
05:02This is ridiculous.
05:02But thankfully, there were like six months and he just kept them in his house.
05:06He just wants to sell them and I got them back.
05:08I assembled this perfect collection of media that I love and yes,
05:11I can go online and get it but having the physical media with all the extras.
05:15Look what Nina's found.
05:16Five dollars.
05:17Seven and a half feet by eight feet.
05:19She's getting a little blankie.
05:21Soft and wonderful.
05:22It's like a granny square in a different form.
05:23What do you got there Alfred Hitchcock?
05:24Alfred.
05:25On DVD.
05:26Wonderful collection.
05:27Look at how many movies in there.
05:28You see once you've set up a legacy media center.
05:30It all becomes very appealing.
05:31Oh, there's some VHS.
05:33There's a pack of blanks for a $1.
05:35This is the best.
05:36This is the tape.
05:37I always used to buy when I recorded.
05:38Six hours LP.
05:39See these DVDs are half a buck a piece.
05:41How much entertainment could you get for half a buck?
05:43I mean, we already own Dirty Dancing on DVD but like 50 cents.
05:46Dun-da-dun-dun-da-da-dun-da-da-dun-dun-da-da-dun.
05:50It's my favorite part of every year.
06:05I love the rusticness of this.
06:06This cooler.
06:07Rustic and rusted?
06:09Yes, but you could totally leave it outside.
06:11It's like a permanent fixture on a porch somewhere.
06:13Is that the design?
06:14No, it actually did rust.
06:15I think it did actually rust.
06:16It was at one point brilliant in red, but it's still functional as a cooler.
06:20It's a little tiny printing calculator.
06:22That's so cute.
06:23I didn't know Canon made calculators.
06:24They did.
06:25Nina got such a good deal that I now want to browse this area, which I never do.
06:30We've been in need of blankets.
06:31I have so many granite squares though.
06:32This is a problem.
06:33It's hard to go all in on a granite square.
06:3510 cents each for Yankee Candle tea lights.
06:38I can smell them from here.
06:38They don't have a particularly pleasing scent.
06:40It's August and you know what that means.
06:42What does it mean?
06:43Fall is like right around the corner.
06:44I know, I'm so excited.
06:46Fall's my favorite.
06:46How about a snowman frozen in carbonite?
06:48Christmas CD is in a bow.
06:50$2.
06:51Kind of amazing.
06:52Who is it?
06:52Christmas, generic.
06:55And on the back, it's Christmas time.
06:57So I think...
06:59Nina loves these little guys.
07:00Yeah.
07:00So I don't have room for a big one.
07:01They make them huge, but this one is very cute and is LED enabled.
07:04So you can just turn it on and have it.
07:07You know, I like that.
07:07That's cute.
07:08There's a lyric sung in Be Our Guest by a bunch of Steins.
07:12That's right.
07:12And for the longest time, I had no idea what they were saying.
07:15Und it's all in perfect taste that you can bet.
07:19Und it's all in perfect taste that you can bet.
07:23Say it again in English.
07:24And it's all in perfect taste that you can bet.
07:27Interesting era in the world when we had glass frying pans.
07:29Wow.
07:30It's a real frying pan.
07:31Fascinating.
07:32Don't you think you'd worry about it?
07:33I would absolutely worry every minute.
07:35I could never leave it unattended.
07:37I mean, I'm sure it's in non-shadow.
07:39You ever accidentally put metal in the microwave?
07:41Oh, yeah.
07:41Get a free show.
07:43Hey, what smells like blue?
07:45You ever accidentally put a cut grape in the microwave?
07:48No.
07:49And then you get a real show.
07:50Oh, my God.
07:52This is made by actually pressing pieces of other glass into it.
07:56Did you get anything new?
07:56Where's this going?
07:57I don't know yet.
07:58You just know you need a blanket.
07:59Like, in my head, it goes on the bed in the guest bedroom.
08:03And we don't have a guest bed.
08:04The guest bedroom.
08:06Berenstain Bears at the aquarium.
08:07And Amelia Bedelia sleeps over.
08:09Very nice.
08:09Beautiful books.
08:10Beautiful selection.
08:11I have a question.
08:11Berenstain Bears or the Berenstein Bears?
08:14It's clearly Berenstain.
08:15The world has lost its...
08:17But it was spelled Steen!
08:19It was spelled Berenstain!
08:25Frankie, do you still have any need in your life for stamps?
08:28No.
08:28No.
08:29Me neither.
08:29I think Nina uses them sometimes to mail out cards or whatever.
08:32Yeah, yeah.
08:33I did not mail anything in the past year.
08:35But, you know, I do sell enough merch that at stamps.com or something,
08:38the value prop might start to be there.
08:39Yeah, yeah.
08:40I can understand that.
08:41But digital is the way.
08:42Some nice scrapers here.
08:43And I don't have a small scraper in my car.
08:45I have a massive one.
08:46Yeah.
08:46So for 50 cents, I get one for me, one for my dad,
08:49and then donate this one and still be able to...
08:52The house always loses.
08:53The house always loses.
08:54My house always loses because it's full of crap.
08:56Most practical stuff.
08:58Look at that!
08:58A little step stool for my closet.
09:00Oh, yeah.
09:00There's an enormous, oversized, like comically large river basket for $20.
09:06Nina wants this giant basket.
09:07Well, what would I do with it?
09:08Why though?
09:09Chaos.
09:10It's beautiful.
09:10You would become the Easter Bunny.
09:12You could totally still fit Gloria in there with a bunch of cute pillows.
09:14She would love it.
09:15She'll be like 14 and she'll be in the basket.
09:17I mean, I could fit in there if I really wanted.
09:19I used to always put her in a laundry basket,
09:20pick up the laundry basket and walk around the house.
09:22It was her favorite thing ever.
09:24How much is this?
09:25$20.
09:25I'm sure at retail today, you would pay $109.95 at Hobby Lobby.
09:30Let's see.
09:31I'm thinking probably $45 to get it FOB China.
09:36No, that's with labor.
09:36Oh, that's with labor.
09:37And then you got to bring it over on a boat
09:39and it's not easy to transport at all.
09:41You can't even stack them.
09:43Oh, it is.
09:44It's absolutely a steal.
09:46For you.
09:47I just want you to know I enjoyed following behind the two of you and listening.
09:52We're not going to get the basket.
09:53Nobody's buying any baskets.
09:56If I come out with a lemon square and that basket's still here, I might be getting it.
10:00Here, it's like, you don't know what you need.
10:01Let me show you what you need.
10:02And I go, oh, I need that.
10:03I need that.
10:04I need a huge basket.
10:05And now it's in my head.
10:06Would you like me to ask my traditional annual asking the old ladies?
10:10What's the difference?
10:11Let's see what the answer is this year.
10:13So I have a question of the Malasalage experts.
10:15What is the difference between a Malasalage and just a dough boy?
10:19I think that has more sugar.
10:22More sugar?
10:23Now, what's the difference between this and like a dough boy?
10:26This is a lot more dense.
10:27Yeah.
10:28I ask this every year.
10:28It's the hydration.
10:30There's more water in it.
10:31So it creates a thicker, more dense dough.
10:33Matt's doing it.
10:34Matt's getting one.
10:34What is the difference between Malasalage and just a dough boy?
10:39Same thing, isn't it?
10:40This is Portuguese.
10:41No, this one has more sugar in it.
10:43Malasalage is dough boy in Portuguese.
10:46You don't even want a free bite of a free Malasalage?
10:51It's all right.
10:52Obviously, you would agree there's a difference between fresh and not fresh.
10:54I mean, I'm sure these were made like this morning, but.
10:56No, they were made yesterday.
10:57You think so?
10:58John understands how I feel about the basket.
11:00I do understand how she feels about the basket.
11:03I am still advising you as your professional platter.
11:05You should not buy the basket.
11:06And even the blanket was a somewhat questionable purchase.
11:09Yeah.
11:09You guys get me all juiced up, talking about tradition and how this stuff is dying away.
11:13And then, yes, I see this beautiful handmade blanket.
11:16And I'm told like, no, bad idea.
11:19Kill the tradition.
11:19Nobody's telling you it's a bad idea.
11:21I am so excited for you.
11:22I want to see a photo of that blanket on your bed.
11:24On my guest bed.
11:25On your guest bed.
11:26For many years at my house, I have always maintained a gigantic dumpster.
11:30Fresh baguette.
11:32Ah, what do you got for me, big boy?
11:33There you go.
11:34Ah, yeah.
11:34Take it away.
11:35In so that I have no excuse to not get rid of something if I want it.
11:39If you ever need to throw out a large basket after you've had it for six years,
11:43you are welcome to come and utilize my dumpster to throw it away.
11:46John has removed one of the barriers to buy the basket.
11:49You can just buy it.
11:50Walk around the house.
11:51Try to incorporate it into the house.
11:53If you can't find a place for it, if you can't do anything with it,
11:55then that day or the next day, you go to Savers, you drop it off.
11:59Unless Gloria becomes attached to it, because I have a borderline hoarder child.
12:02What if you bought it outside, filled it with soil, and made it a planter?
12:06It's not going to last.
12:06It's going to last four years.
12:08Twenty bucks.
12:08That's five bucks a year, Nina.
12:09What if I made it my side hustle?
12:11I'm going to tell you why the basket's not coming home with me.
12:13Okay.
12:13Let's hear it.
12:14Because we have Frankie's car with a small trunk,
12:16and I'm now realizing I don't even know—
12:18Inadequate husband.
12:18—how reasonably to put it in the car.
12:20It's all your fault.
12:21That's why I said I should have married John.
12:23He understands the basket.
12:24Yeah.
12:25And he always has enough storage.
12:26How many cars do you have in your car?
12:28How many tickets did you buy?
12:29I bought eight tickets.
12:30You have a chance to win what?
12:31$235 face value in lottery tickets.
12:34Oh.
12:35But it could be a lot more.
12:36It could be a million.
12:38Tens of thousands.
12:39Now, they do one annually, is that right?
12:40I believe so, yeah.
12:42I think the ladies of the church do it every year.
12:44No, we're not doing that.
12:46Did you catch our discussion about how the church ladies don't make the quilt anymore
12:50because there are no church ladies that quilt anymore?
12:52They've all aged out.
12:54Sad state of affairs.
12:55You called it, man. You called it.
12:56They put lemon squares on top because they know they're the most important.
12:59But it's not as the picture advertised.
13:01I wanted it to be more of like the crumbly top.
13:04So now I'm disappointed.
13:05I never won a single thing.
13:07Yeah, and you have entered it.
13:08I have.
13:09And you have too.
13:09And I assume you didn't win anything.
13:11No.
13:11They call these UFO cookies.
13:12But here they're just calling them Oreo stuff.
13:14So you actually have an Oreo inside.
13:16I think it's just dark chocolate.
13:17On cookies? I don't want it.
13:18No.
13:19That makes me interested.
13:21What do you think?
13:24You can't say anything nice.
13:27There's like no brown sugar.
13:29There's like no vanilla.
13:30On an entirely different subject, Nina.
13:32How is the lemon square?
13:33Now I think I might have COVID because I'm not tasting anything.
13:36Can I tell you a cute Gloria thing?
13:38Of course you can.
13:39She was running around the house packing so we could go on an adventure to solve a mystery.
13:43Yep.
13:44And one of the things, she brought out this little plastic container and I said, what's that?
13:47And she opens it up and it's got a billion Smarties in it.
13:50And she goes, this is my lifetime supply of Smarties.
13:53She's got the rolls of Smarties.
13:55They're still rolled.
13:57Yes.
13:57Misconditioned.
13:58She never opened them.
13:59And well, some of them haven't opened because half of the container is her trash where she puts the wrappers after she ate the Smarties.
14:06And then saves the trash forever.
14:08So she's like, it's her lifetime supply.
14:10Plus there's like a place for her trash.
14:12She loves packing.
14:13The idea of like packing for something is better than the adventure itself.
14:17Well, look who it is.
14:18Welcome.
14:18Tell John about the lifetime supply of Smarties.
14:22I have a lifetime supply of Smarties.
14:24I have this little box.
14:26Yeah.
14:26And that box has a little container.
14:28And I just put that trash from the Smarties in that container.
14:33And then I put that container in one of my secret rooms.
14:37They're full.
14:38Yeah, I have like two secret rooms.
14:40Whoa.
14:40Or three.
14:41Two or three secret rooms.
14:42Three secret rooms.
14:43In my house.
14:44I love that your Smarties supply has trash for the Smarties in it.
14:47I think that that is so smart.
14:49Do you ever empty the trash?
14:50No.
14:52It's the lifetime supply of trash.
14:53The lifetime supply of Smarties in trash.
14:55What did you find?
14:57A secret wand.
14:58A secret wand?
14:59No, a sequent.
15:01Oh, a sequent wand?
15:02Yeah, it's like...
15:03Wow.
15:03Sequent.
15:08We went to the farmer's market a couple of years ago right after St. John's.
15:11We did.
15:12And I got some of the most incredible bread.
15:13We thought we couldn't resist.
15:15Look at these cute bonsai.
15:16They're impossible to keep alive.
15:18Oh, they're not that hard.
15:19What's this? A giant thing of cornhole?
15:21It has no hole.
15:21Just corn.
15:22Zucchini races.
15:23How fun.
15:24I mean, what else are you going to do with all those freaking zucchinis?
15:26What's einkorn?
15:27I don't know. Some kind of exotic bread?
15:28This was the bread.
15:29That was the very one?
15:30It's a focaccia.
15:31I think it's spinach or basil.
15:32Nina, you need some coffee?
15:34I'm not about it.
15:36The older that I get, the more I appreciate the silly kitsch of these kind of things.
15:40Like with the little music.
15:42Oh, yeah.
15:42The little zucchini race board.
15:44Yeah.
15:44I'm all about it now.
15:45The distilled rose water.
15:46Cynicism falls away.
15:48It does.
15:48How do you like veg display where they're kind of spilling out?
15:51I love it.
15:52It's art to me.
15:52Like, just have some.
15:53No offense.
15:54I never get why they would do it.
15:55You ever cook with fresh garlic?
15:57I do.
15:57I just got some at a farmer's market a couple weeks ago here.
15:59I made some delicious risotto with it.
16:03So good.
16:03You ever have duck eggs?
16:05Never.
16:05They are amazing.
16:06Let me tell you.
16:07Really?
16:07The yolk is so much more rich and flavorful than the chicken egg.
16:10You can get massages here.
16:11I've never in my life had a massage.
16:13I'm starting to think that maybe I could use one.
16:15Any final words on the flea market slash farmer's market?
16:30I mean.
16:31I still love the whole thing.
16:32Yeah?
16:32Yeah.
16:33I'm still, I'm still enamored by it.
16:35You haven't grown out of it?
16:36No.
16:36Never will?
16:37Probably not, no.
16:46First up, the John B. sails.
16:50See how the mainsail sets.
16:54Call for the captain ashore, let me go home.
