sodes; six episodes is the minimum they usually do. As soon
as we did the six episodes,
we heard from the head of the
production company, who said
“you know, you guys said it’s a
weird shop, this is weirder than
we ever thought, this is beyond, we thought it’s antiques,
whatever”, they were shocked.
Then actually discovery channel came in, the parent company of the science channel, and
said go back to production right
now, you’re doing four more
episodes, we want ten. That’s
unusual, that doesn’t usually happen, we knew we had
something good on our hands,
and well, you guys know the
rest, it went up from there.
What are the strangest items
you’ve come across?
You know the strangest items we’ve ever had, it’s hard to just pick one. We
have full mummified human heads, we have half a head, we have an Egyptian mummy hand, we actually have an Egyptian mummy penis, that’s kinda
neat. We also have a whale’s penis, which is kinda weird, it’s like six foot
tall, a little taller than I am, I’m six one and a half, this thing is like six five I
guess. Not that I collect penises, I just happen to have a bunch. It’s like banana chips, you get one, next thing you know, you got a bunch. I also have
a walrus penis bone, the thing is like two foot long, again not that I collect,
or maybe I do collect penises now that I think about it, I have a bunch in the
collection. But yeah how do you pick the weirdest thing? How do you just
pick your favorite? It’s hard to say.
It’s a very personal shop. Is there anything too weird that you wouldn’t
