This is where the forecast for the week beginning Wednesday August 5th. I'm chief meteorologist John Innsworth along my public media At point parts unknown today, so you don't get to see my face This week we have the last quarter moon coming on Tuesday You won't see it in the evening sky at all rising at midnight Take a look at our drought roundup Take a look at the last month in the evolution of the low water conditions across the state going back to June 25th We have pretty severe drought in the southern counties Nothing bad in the northern counties and as we move forward week by week You can see drought conditions are getting a little worse across the northern parts of the state Persistent training thunderstorms have caused some relief down here south of Colorado Springs We're on Pueblo and down in the southwestern part of the state looking at the nation as a whole the Region of worsening drought are the western and southwest states from west Texas up through Colorado up into Washington in Oregon Rainfall for the last week since we last met You can see from Fort Collins down to the Longmont about a half inch to an inch in the mountains up above Some places got a lucky two to three inches the same above Castle Rock in the higher foothills The picture this week is that we are transitioning out of a monsoon thunderstorm pattern and back into some good solid dry summer and through the Moisture in the middle levels of the atmosphere coming from the Gulf primarily some from the tropics down around Baja are Having to make a longer and longer trip to get to Colorado at the surface. We still have a really good set of moisture Crawling up towards the west you can see the dry air that will then could be moving its way this is the surface Wind flow this is showing the fetch of moisture from the Gulf cross, Texas Oklahoma and right into eastern Plains of Colorado And looking aloft. This is the ridge in the west. This is going to be slowly moving Eastward and still see how the moisture is able to get around the high-pressure center around El Paso And at the surface we have the moisture flow coming in Those combined are giving us a marginal risk of severe weather in the higher mountains and a slight risk right down I-25 and across all of eastern Colorado Rainfall though according to the GFS over the next day pretty minimal this particular one with big thunderstorm over the Castle Rock and Palmer divide area and around Fort Collins and the hills above get a little extra rain But most of the state is missing out Wednesday the situation is still set up the same. We get the moisture at the surface We have a trough out west on the other side of the ridge and that is giving us our marginal Risk right down to I-25 and the slight risk in northeast Colorado that primary Threat of severe weather will be large hail especially in the slight risk area and Damaging thunderstorm winds they out will be pretty widely scattered We also have smoke to deal with there are some fires now Southern California and down into Mexico and a little bit of fire activity in northeast Arizona all that's putting Smoke and particulate up into the Western Ridge Circulating around with that high-pressure center down in in Mexico Over the next five days the rainfall is all confined to areas east of the continental divide Looking out 10 days you can see our Normal high temperature line here. We we shave off one more degree of Normal high and the thing with the low and the temperatures are definitely skewed to be above average for most of the time period and looking at the ensemble Precipitation It's not much. There's maybe 10 days out. It's just to see some Power activity, but there isn't much once we get past Wednesday Reason it gets so dry is that the high pressure system here over Texas It's now grown and you can see the ridge goes up into the Great Lakes And then there's a lobe of the ridge going out towards California the moisture at the mid levels Need to get these go all the way across and up crossed Arizona there and The surface moisture is now being transferred off into Kansas and beyond So we are left high and dry with a big ridge with gently thinking air and warming to above normal temperatures There's the surface moisture flow for the weekend Looking out the next five days. We start off really normal with pretty good thunderstorm chances on Wednesday And then the dry-out hits and we get up almost to 100 degrees on Friday Saturday Not too far away. We see a little cool down in the distant next week For more local news take a look at the longmont leader calm and for frequent weather updates I post there very regularly long about leader calm This has been John endsworth chief meteorologist for Longmont public media.

Let's talk about government funding of science, which is unrelated to what we just talked about in a broad sense, but you hear this all the time. One of the things that the arguments you get from leftists, from anti-capitalists more broadly, from the statists of the left and of the right is that you cannot separate government for the economy. One is necessary. What happens if you don't have government is you get these quote called public goods. These are things that are created in the world that everybody benefits, that quote, public benefits from. What you get is undue investment in public goods because nobody has an incentive to invest in public goods because they can't capture the benefit. I don't know if this could be public parks, national parks, nobody can capture the benefit of that because they can't charge enough money to really capture how good this is. So the government has to do it. The government can spend the money. The government can organize. The government can do it. The government in a sense can do it at a loss because the government is representing the public and it's doing it for the common good. One of the most cited public goods, particularly among smart people, particularly among technologists, scientists, entrepreneurs, Silicon Valley types, one of the most cited public goods and among people I debate often is science. Science they tell us, and they're absolutely right, is absolutely essential for human progress. There's only so much you can produce, there's only so much you can create, there's so much you can innovate based on existing science. At some point you maximize what you can do with existing science or at least you do most of it and then you need a constant flow of new ideas, of new science, of new discoveries in order to get human progress. So one of the things you'll notice is that people who advocate, who talk about government funding of science as a public good, often people that are not like the people we just discussed, not hatred is a man, but people who actually want to see progress, they actually want to see scientific success, they actually want to see entrepreneurship, they're people who want to see new startups and new innovations and new business models. And for that what they need is what they argue for is we need science and they're right. There's no question the supply chain of business creation starts with science and then in a sense engineering and then production, with intermediated, if you will, by businesses that turn the science into great engineering into stuff that we all want to buy. But the driver long term, the driver long term of productivity increases, which is the driver of wage increases, which is the driver of increases in standard of living is innovation. And without, well, it's not innovation, it's science, which then is innovative off of. So innovation is what results in the final product. But what you need in order to innovate is a constant flow of new scientific discoveries.  But also think about all the science that has gone into ultimately getting us to the transistor and ultimately getting us to be able to put, I don't know what, several billion transistors on a tiny little chip inside a computer. So science has massive trickle down effects, at least some science, arguably some science has very little trickle down effects, but some science has massive trickle down effects. Science that is can be turned into practical achievements. So science, again, drives productivity. Science by innovation drives productivity. Productivity drives wages, wages drive standard of living, which drives demand, which drives consumption. There is no consumption without increases in consumption, without science. Science is the beginning of the process. You don't get an industrial revolution without a scientific revolution. You need a scientific revolution first before you get an industrial revolution, before you get a revolution of engineering and production. You need first to have a scientific revolution. You need to have the underlying science. So the argument goes, since the return on science is so high for the world, if you will, for the public, for people, but the ability of a scientist to capture the benefits of that science, monetarily, let's say, are so small, business is not going to invest in basic science, they're too removed from it. Einstein did not become a billionaire. I don't know of many scientists who have become billionaires. So what do we do? Because people are not going to invest the claim is in science. Now, this is an amazing claim given the history. I mean, the fact is that before 1940, before 1940, over 90 percent of all research and development was funded privately. So 90 percent of all research and development are granted. Some of that is development. But close to 90 percent of all the basic research was funded privately. Thomas Edison, that's more development, right, or more engineering, didn't get federal grants. Neither did Tesla, neither did, what's his name, the guy, Bell, who did the phones, neither did Rockefeller, who figured out, and many others, who hired chemists to develop the process of refining oil, which was not simple and not straightforward. We had massive innovations at universities, at private labs, by private entrepreneurs, in corporate laboratories that was not funded by the government, 90 percent. Now Bell Labs is a bit cheating. Bell Labs is one of the most amazing innovation machines that we had. Bell Labs really produced the scientists that ultimately led to the semiconductor business, but even the entire semiconductor, but even the venture capitalist world all came out of ultimately Bell Labs. Bell Labs is cheating because Bell Labs belonged to AT&T, to the telephone company, and AT&T had a monopoly granted by the government, protected by the government, on long distance, basically on phone service in the United States. As a consequence of that, they could set up a lab, spend a lot of money there without worrying about profitability, without worrying about consequence. They set up one of the most amazing labs ever. There's a fabulous book about Bell Labs, really, really interesting about the culture in it, the way it innovated, but it is a little cheating in a sense that it was a government protective monopoly. But still, the way it was run was very much run based on how a business would run a lab versus how a bureaucracy typically runs a lab. Now what's amazing is, what I think people don't realize is that today, even today, industry outspends government on R&D by three to one. So 75% of all the money spent today, even with big, huge, massive government involvement, government intervention, government regulation, and government spending on R&D, 75% of all the R&D in the United States is spent by business, by industry, by private philanthropy, by individuals, and only 25% is by government. Now a lot of that is development, not basic research, but here's a fact I didn't know which I found really interesting. Even when it comes to basic research. In 2015, I don't have updated numbers, but in 2015, federal government provided only 44% of basic research funding in the United States. Now how you define basic research versus development, I don't know exactly, but according to a survey done by the National Science Foundation, federal government only provides 44% of basic research, and industry provides or private sector provides the rest. What's interesting is that it was much worse in the 60s and 70s. In the 60s and 70s, the government was responsible for 70% of all basic research. So 44% of basic research today is funded by the government. Now what's interesting is that people have done work trying to look at how productive government grants are and how good the system is of granting government for basic research. And what they show is the more government seems to spend on basic research, the poorer the performance. That is that a lot of research is done, a lot of papers are published at a point in history where more papers are published than ever before. A lot of citations, a lot of research. Very little to show for it in terms of actual application, in terms of actually coming down and impacting people's lives. By the way, much of that basic research dollars spent by non-government is spent by the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical industry spends an enormous amount on basic research.

Today we are opening a scam Legend of Blue Eyes box, or is it real? What's up guys, today we have another video involving a potential scam Yu-Gi-Oh box. So a viewer of mine, JoseS, hit me up and he said, hey, I bought this LLB box off eBay and I think it looks like a scam, like your Metal Raiders box that you opened up that turned out to be a scam. So he said, I'm gonna send it to you, I want you to check it out, open it up, and then see if it's actually a scam or not. So today we're opening this original Legend of Blue Eyes box. We're gonna check it out, we're gonna see what do we think it looks like, is it a scam, is it resealed? And if it is, we'll find out today. If it's not, we're still gonna open it. He said, if it's actually legit, I want you to open it up and try and get the Blue Eyes White Dragon. So either way it's gonna be interesting, it's either a scam and hopefully he can get his money back, or hopefully it's real and we can pull the Blue Eyes White Dragon. It's definitely gonna be intriguing. I haven't looked at the box in detail yet, so I haven't formed an opinion or anything, so we're about to look at it together for the first time, but we do have a quick giveaway. I will be giving away these three cards. We have a signed Ruxen 34 Pekanumoth. We've got the Mage Power Ultra Rare and a Secret Rare Sphere of Chaos. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, and let me know in the comments what you think about this box. We don't know what this video is gonna be about, either about the scam or about the actual opening. Hopefully it's a real opening and not a scam, but it could be. Okay, it's time to check this thing out. So honestly, the front looks pretty good to me. It looks like it might be real. He did say it felt a little thick, which I do think it feels slightly thick. Like, you guys see this? But if you guys remember, we had that first edition magic ruler box and one of the packs had just shifted over or something like that, so that kind of made that happen. Let's check out the seal. What do you guys think so far? Let me know in the comments. Does it look real? Does it look fake to you guys? Okay, this is a... Okay, the back. There is some scuffing on it, which is kind of normal. Okay, the box being a little bent could be a bad sign, because if it was open, you know, it's easier to actually dent a box when there's no packs inside of it. But that can also happen when there's stuff on the inside as well. Oh man, this is actually tough. This one looks a lot better than my Metal Raiders box. The Metal Raiders box I knew right away, because it felt really weird. It is really tight, which sometimes is kind of a bad thing. But the front honestly looks really good. So if this is a resale, this is actually a very good one. Honestly, it's pretty good if it's a resale. I think the part where they're kind of bowed out is the only thing that's kind of sketching me out is how it is kind of... Not fat, but it's like it's pushed out. So honestly, it's possible that a pack slid from the left to the right side, like what happened in our first edition Magic Ruler Break on whatnot. We have that video posted on YouTube if you want to check it out. We thought there was going to be an extra pack or it was resaled or something like that, and turned out it was just the left pack went to the right. I don't know if that's what happened here. I mean, we're going to find out. Honestly, I'm not really sure. So if this is resaled, I'm a little bit scared because the front actually looks pretty good. And the metal raiders I knew it was resaled. This one, I'm not super sure about it, but honestly, I'm more leaning toward real. So I'm hoping that that's true so we can actually get the opening and he's not actually scammed out of his money. So let's see. Okay, let's open this thing up. Wow, this is interesting. Let's see. I'm actually not sure. I'm not sure what to expect here. Let's go. We're going to break this seal. We're either breaking a seal on a legit LOB box, which is crazy in and of itself, or we're opening up a scam box. So we're about to find out for Jose S. Let's see. Maybe once we can feel the... Yeah, wait. Let me feel this up real quick. Yeah, that feels a little bit strange. Yeah, I think that this... Okay, now that I feel this, I think it is a scam because this feels very...  You know, that kind of wrap. So this does not feel like a real wrap. So at this point, I'm thinking it is a scam. So let's see. Let's see what's inside. Oh, they're opened. Okay, okay. Oh my gosh. I was like, first edition. What is happening? Okay, this is in fact a scam box, guys. You guys see this? So they put in first edition packs, which doesn't make any sense because it's not a first edition box, but they put in the first edition packs. Let's see exactly what the cards were. Okay, so it's just new cards. You're gonna be Legion, Zero Extra Link, Terrifying Talk. Honestly, that reseal was a little bit scary how good that was because the front of the wrapping, they actually had it... They had it looking pretty good, which is pretty creepy. And then look at this. Tape together. I bet if you weighed this thing, it was way off in the weight, compared to like a normal box because there's no way that something like this would weigh the same as a actual sealed box. So this was actually a pretty good reseal, to be honest. The only thing was, I think the fact that it was too bulge out or whatever. So that kind of gave it away. And that was what Jose S said. He said, this thing is a little bit too thick. Like it doesn't feel right. So he sent it to me and we can officially confirm that this is not a real box. We have, what even do you call this? A brick of stuff? I kind of want to find out what they used here. All right, so what is this? Like legendary duelist. So hopefully this video will help Jose S get his money back because obviously this is not a real booster box. I mean, it is definitely not a real sealed LOB box. I mean, just got random stuff in it. It's got pieces of cardboard in it. It's got all kinds of random stuff. So yeah, it just looks like it's just a bunch of junk. Honestly, it's like some closed packs that they are not closed packs, but they tape some random packs in there. I don't even get the point of putting the packs in there if you're not gonna like, if they're just any of these sealed. Like I'm gonna find out. Okay, not sealed, not sealed. I'm guessing no, but sometimes if you guys remember the Metal Raiders scam box, it was actually sealed, which was weird. Yeah, not sealed. Okay. So this is 100% a scam box. Jose S, hopefully this video will help you get your money back because I don't know what you paid or anything. And I know that he did get this from a big auction site. He got this from Probstein123. They auction off a lot of stuff. So I don't, it's not always their stuff. I know for a fact that they have sold a resealed, I believe it was a beta starter, maybe it was an alpha starter to open boosters. And he made a whole video about it, about how they were very difficult to deal with. And trying to get his money back. And so I hope that this is, that's not the case here, but I hope that this video will actually help him get his money back because obviously selling resealed stuff is messed up. And if you're selling this stuff, you don't know that it's resealed. Like as I said, it was a pretty good reseal. So maybe they missed it. If you don't realize it, you definitely have to be accountable for what you're selling. Unfortunately, this was a resealed Legend of Blue Eyes box. Jose S, you did unfortunately get scammed. However, if you can get your money back, that would be great. And hopefully this video will help because we opened it all up on camera and all that stuff. A little bit scary to be honest, because compared to that Metal Raiders one we opened, this one looked a lot better for sure. Like it wasn't completely obvious. I was slightly fooled. I was like, you know what? This could be real. Not totally sure. Feel a little bit weird about how bulged it is. I mean, it happened, it happened in our magical or first edition. So you never know. You never know really until you open it, which is kind of the scary thing about collecting sealed product. And if you don't know until you open it, when you open it, you lose a lot of your value. Yeah, collecting sealed stuff, you always have to be very careful. I always say get from a trusted source if you can. But with this old stuff, it's so hard to find that it's hard to find a actual trusted source that has anything anymore. Unfortunately, we opened a scan box of Legend of Blue Eyes. So that's it for this one, guys. I hope you guys enjoyed it. And I really hope that this video helps out Jose S in getting his money back. But before we end the video, I have to shout out my ultimate supporters on YouTube and Patreon. We have TCG trusted cards, Toe & Focho, Tomato Juice, Stanley, Mike Nance, and Mimic Gecko. Thank you guys for supporting the channel. And that's it for this video. I will see you guys later. Peace.


I'm on a strictly plant-based diet, but my triglycerides, ooh, that's not good. Oh, LDL is beautiful, though. So I'm wondering if this was not a fasting test, because triglycerides are very sensitive to the test, it's very sensitive to whether you just ate. So if you just had breakfast, and then you got tested, then triglycerides could be up, but it could be up normally. The laboratory values are given for fasting levels. So normally, you know, you should have low levels of triglycerides in blood. Same thing with, like, you know, taking your blood sugars. Typically we're talking about fasting blood sugars. How much blood sugar you have, not after you've eaten something, but just kind of when you first wake up in the morning, basically.


Good morning everyone welcome back to the channel. We are at the flea market. Justin and I he's here. It's his birthday 33 and I texted him last night.  And he was like, yeah I was like, okay, let's go. So we're at the Long Beach Flea It is currently like 8 30 in the morning got here a little later than I usually come and Justin has a truck Which is like unheard of in Los Angeles game changer game changer We can like haul large furniture items. So let's get to shopping I like this little box Look at this hand brass sconce that's holding That's so cool. I love that. We're approaching some cute items here.  Oh, yeah it is This is literally me. I'm getting these corbel shelves. How much were they? Um 15 for two. Oh, that's a good deal Oh, they're actually nice Look at all of these handles It's like this a hand hook. Yeah, hand hook. Oh, no, you guys. I've been here for a solid 30 minutes And I have yet to find anything. You know, we've got to find some things in here This is so cute Okay guys, I think I found something kind of cute. I love this little clay pot here. I love the red in it This chair is so cute Wait, I think I need these you guys look at these past iron utensils To maybe hang on the pot rack in the back. All right, I got them These are so cute And I also love how there's copper because the kitchen has copper the kitchen has brass And we need a little bit of this cast iron vibe as well in there goes back to the pendant lights These chairs are pretty. Oh my gosh guys. I was thinking that this would be perfect Because we have a truck if Justin can just fit this right in the truck that would be great That's so pretty honestly. Wow. I love this little side table. It's like so small, but Kind of has this like folky vibe to it I got something I got this really cute little night stand. There's only one so I'm probably not going to use it as an actual night center bedroom But it's a great side table and it's kind of small, but it also has storage. So Kind of the best of both worlds Oh, those are great. Yeah, these are really cool $32 these iron candle holders. I love all of these vintage books and to be honest with you guys I'm not a reader. I don't read I don't know how to read So I am going to definitely be filling some of my built-ins and like, you know wall cutouts with books That look pretty. I love this mirror here I love the rod iron spears coming out from the side.  It's only 10 bucks. Justin, what did you get? Um, the third mask of the day That one you can actually wear almost like it's like almost full size. Oh my gosh. It's actually a good size My new dog. I just bought him Lucky, look at his little arms We are back from the flea market. It is Monday today and I actually didn't find too many items I have my little mini haul here But I thought I would do a mini haul and I also had to share with you guys what came in the mail because I am So excited to put this on my phone my case to fight case Which actually happens to be the sponsor of today's video. But guys, I have had Many many case to fight cases over the years I've probably had like seven or eight and you've probably seen them on my phone in the past But I was so excited to see that they wanted to send over some cases because I actually just got the new iphone Pro max 14 I don't even know what number they're on honestly and I needed a case for it So this is incredible because case defies cases are top notch a lot of the designs are fully customizable And they have so many really cute already like done collaborations and just art cases as well that you could browse through on their site So let me share with you guys some of the ones I got you're one that actually like drops your phone quite often In a bounce case is a great option for you because it actually has These expanded corners on them I don't know if you could see those are like little bumpers that allows your phone to be dropped from 21 feet Which is crazy because you could literally drop this off like a second story of something and it's going to stay Protected with one of the case to buy bounce cases But if you're somebody that just needs like durability You just want to make sure that your phone stays protected in general That is kind of what I was going for and that's why I got one of the clear cases. I love How cute this one is you guys they did an lf on it and it's actually in a army green color Like kind of an olive green with a black backing. I'll do a close-up so you can see that But I am most excited honestly to put this one on my phone. Why don't I do a little drop test for you guys? Check this out Oh, check these out guys It's still perfectly fine. Look at that So if you are interested you can head over to case defy.com slash loan fox to get 15% off your bounce case Or your clear case get to customizing guys because they have some really really cute Options that ideas you could do on there You could do initials you could do your partner's name your dog's name photos There is a lot that you can customize I need to share with you guys what I got at the antique mart yesterday in long beach Now I didn't actually find too many things but I actually feel like I found some really really cute items So i'm going to do a quick super fast haul because guess what we're going out and shopping again today First thing are these incredible kitchen utensils. I love the mixture of brass. There's also copper That's actually used to hammer these together So you can tell that these are definitely older and I just love the cast iron loop on the top It just matches kind of the Spanish revival look and there's a little spatula as well Next thing I got was this smaller vase And I actually loved this one because a lot of the vases and ceramics I've been getting lately for the home have been on the larger side Like even this one back here is a lot larger almost everything I've gotten is larger So this one was on the smaller side. I thought it was so cute for 25 dollars with this little bit of like terracotta Tone in there. I thought it was so pretty and you can tell this is definitely an older vessel Cast iron and wrought iron has just been my absolute favorite. I have that candle holder back there But I have two more really cute pillar candle holders Now I typically opt for a lot of taper candle holders, but these pillar candle holders I thought were great. I adore anything with the tripod base something about a tripod base just It gets me going. I don't know what it is But these are so cute and I love how one of them is just a tiny bit taller than the other one Just kind of gives a bit of variation. They're really heavy as well. These were 24 dollars They were actually 30 but then um 20 off at her booth. So they were 24, which I thought was great These are really heavy now This might be my favorite or one of two of my favorite finds Look at this little piece of pottery you guys. Have you ever seen something so unique and just interesting? I absolutely loved how small it was. I love that it came on a stand I loved the movement of these little rings the kind of distressing and just the finish of the piece I don't know how old this is. This is gonna be perfect for a little shelf area These books were a bit of a splurge, but I will say I just loved them. They were beautiful They have gold on the spine. These are from the 1800s. I believe this set of books was around 90 dollars again I think they were like 20 off. So they were around 70 10 books So there's seven dollars a book, but with a coordinated set like this I thought these would look so nice and a bookshelf. I loved the green and I just couldn't pass them up when I saw them. I really liked them the last item I'm going to get up and show you Look how cute this little nightstand is that I found how Charming is she I love how small it is. I just love the little just slight detail at the bottom here Something about this was just screaming my name and there's only one of them So I can't really use it as a pair in a bedroom So maybe like as a plant stand or on the side of a sofa or chair, but that's everything that I got Just like random lines That is so pretty I love Yeah, I love it All right guys, I'm inquiring on the price of this rug It's so so pretty the texture is great too. It's good. I think I could definitely walk on this It's so pretty I love it All right, first stop a big daddy's antiques. Oh and a little antique frame edition. Here it is Let's see how it is. Are you kidding me right now? This is so beautiful I Am this is unreal you guys this is an antique store This looks like I don't this looks like a curated home It's beautiful Oh, yeah, if you guys remember I got these fabrics at the flea market a while back Why am I gravitated towards so much sharp and like gothic right now? It's just everything I've been gravitating towards this circle table is so so cool. I love it. This is off of the main area Look how far back this place goes Oh my god All right, they have an outside area as well. I can live here like I will be hiding in this pot Before they close They're never gonna find me. It's it's unreal like Unreal pricing wise It's not cheap. I will say that it is not a cheap antique store It's good for inspiration though for sure and also I mean if you want to buy a one-off piece I definitely would suggest it. They have really cool items. Look at this rusted chair tetanus for this chair for sure It's so good. So comfortable actually I got the chair I honestly thought it was going to be kind of expensive, but it was 200 dollars, which I feel like for rusty chair is Not that bad It's really pretty though. I don't know if it's going to be an outdoor or indoor access so we will find out Next thrift store. This one is called. Can you please pronounce Justin? bait tshuva bait tshuva All proceeds support addiction treatment. This is not. 350 for the set. Not bad 350 for the set. Yeah Oh, wow. And you got the table too Look at this. We're not even inside yet 450 I mean that's not that's not the word 50% off Furniture Take me to Spress lamp is so pretty I love the little deboss on it. This is like a curated Thrift store. However, the prices are very not thrift. They're a little bit more expensive Like this is 350 for the set of two chairs, but I wouldn't say you know 350 for two accent chairs is Insane this leather sofa is really beautiful These actually look exactly like p2 that I found at the flea market, but like a taller version It looks like they maybe were like a cast lamp or something So that's interesting. So this thrift store guys Is honestly not not my favorite. I will not be coming back Just because their items are very inconsistently priced like a candle holder that you can find literally at target That has a target price tag. Look at that mantle That has a target price tag still on it. It's a more expensive than at target So everything's just very randomly priced Um, but they do have some items that are nice Like I mean this entire dining set that I shared with you guys in the beginning is 350 for the set and it's half off So it'd be like 175 Are going to another antique shop this morning I hope that you are prepared for another one because I just didn't get the fix I needed yesterday like the long beach flea market and those thrift slash antique shops I went to yesterday. I just didn't find a lot.  That's called old good things I mean like we all love old good things, right? So I mean the name is promising just up to the red light But I remember when I moved to los angeles in 2013 I actually moved right next to this antique shop, but at the time I just wasn't I didn't I couldn't afford antiques I don't even think I knew what an antique was to be honest with you guys Approximately 10 years later We are going to go check it out and I believe there's also another antique store right next door to it I'm on the hunt right now for a bed frame for my bed because currently my bed is a mash-up of two Thrifted bed frames the headboard broke off of one So I'm currently using the frame of one and then I literally Screwed the headboard of another one to that and they just don't blend they don't mix very well Something that I realize is that queen and king size bed frames are hard to come by when you're looking for antiques And vintage pieces because a lot of beds back then were full sized or double sized So it's not common to come across like a really unique antique queen bed Unless it was like a custom bed that happens to fit a queen mattress So maybe we can get some inspo They also have a bunch of architectural salvage I believe so we can check that out like fixtures all that fun stuff But let's head on in I'm like two minutes away and I'm gonna bring you guys with me Just got here. This is the antique store that's next door to the old good things But they have some cute stuff out here like I love these heart wired chairs These chairs are also really pretty with the leaves on them Look at this pink marble mantle How cool that is Look at this copper sink So pretty little scallopy edges on it Copper lampshades Beautiful the stained glass Yeah Oh my gosh so outside they only had two yeah all four They only had two of the little like wire garden chairs outside But I just found two more inside like under this pile of chairs Which is great because I have never been able to find four of these. I can only ever find two This was not expecting that We're on phone camera because my camera died I actually spent too much time in that other little thrift store and I found some really cute things I'm in that good old things antique shop and guys There's a lot in here. I have to show you this light That's in the entry. Look how big this light is That is humongous So cute Look how delicate that is Well, this is chain coffee table never seen Reclaimed chain coffee table That is so cool. Do I need this bathtub? Just replace the plastic one that's currently in my bathroom. Oh that mirror is so cool This art deco one bathtub is crazy though. I think it's copper. Oh it is copper Wow Just heading out of old good things. There was a lot of old and very good things But this was anything that I was looking for just go back in the car I want to do a little car haul for you guys Now something I will say is the guy was making up prices as he was going But that's fine because they really weren't like awful I got this which I think is like a literally a leg to a piece of furniture But I want to use it as a tall skinny vase I loved the brass finish on this. It was 15 bucks and it's like very heavy as well This one was 20, but I loved the three Little taper holders and just how it's on this curved shape here I thought this was such a unique like, you know shelf piece or something to put on a coffee table It's kind of statementy, but it's not over the top when I saw this I literally was looking at something like this on etsy the other day And I love this.  Like I feel like this is such a cool piece I got this piece of art here and I loved this because it was dried flowers They're actually real dried flowers in there and then it has a little um signature down here Sierra flowers from mount banner, which is so cute. I love how those are like taken from a mountain I just added I don't know. I just thought this was so charming and I could put it somewhere in the house I got this patina vessel. I just loved the blue color on there and then just like the little bit of brown on the side And then I picked these up. I actually got these for next Christmas But when I saw them I'm going to use them this Christmas because it's currently only the 19 So I can definitely put them out but look how cute little brass deers are I thought they were just like so Christmasy and like vintage and just you know small It was 25 dollars for the set, which I thought wasn't too bad. They're quite heavy as well And the last little decor bit I got was just this little bowl here. I loved the top shape looks like a flower It's very heavy. I made a solid brass as well I have to show you guys a little set of chairs I got for the courtyard because I want to do a little round table over here Um because it's under this awning, which I think would be so freaking cute currently The chair that I got yesterday is just right over here This is probably going to be an outside chair I'm thinking either in the backyard or it might be like a plant stand kind of a chair to put plants on I'm not sure yet, but for these chairs. I'm kind of picturing them just being in a little Kind of formation around a little table It really is a perfect size for a little circle table over here and I love these chairs. They are so cute I love the loop leg so much the little twist right here could strip them back fully to the iron look Which also could look incredible or just refinish them in general, but you know for 130 bucks for the set of four I was like that's a pretty good deal. I feel like I would like to give a big Thank you to you guys for watching today's video.
