    I'm normally the cynic, but I doubt they would hire a local actor to show up at their shop three different times. I'm guessing the guy keeps contacting the show (like most of the "customers" do) with his high-end stuff so he can keep getting his mug on TV. Good for his "career", after all. He certainly tries to make his appearances memorable by playing the hammy jerk..

      A bit off topic ........

      I always wondered how it works for non USA citizens (even rich celebs) buying houses in the US ?

      Or is it easy because Shat's wife is probably American ?

        I don't think it would be too difficult. I would think as long as you have paid property taxes and any other applicable tax, the Federal government doesn't get involved. Now getting in and out of the country or claiming residency might be a different story.

          There's one on Ebay right now that's 200 lbs and the seller wants $2,000 for it.

          I think the one they bought was much nicer looking and weighed 600-700 lbs I think.

            Did those Superman carnival prizes in the first segment come in red and yellow? In those colours I thought they might be Captain Marvels.

              There is an old addage from Winston Churchill that an uneducated man should own a book of quotations... which correlates to this you don't have to be formally educated to know alot if you READ A BOOK. Yes he may google stuff but 20plus years of experience help
