Trying to Reach Jack From Bullion Shark

• 34:30Tim wanted Jack from Bullion Shark to call in and pitch gold, but he's not at work today.
• 34:50Tim questions whether gold-plated coins really hold numismatic value or if it's just 11 cents of gold dressed up as something collectible.
• 35:50Tim finds Jack's Bullion Shark listing online showing a complete silver eagle set for fifteen hundred dollars.
• 36:17Tim used to be into gold from a place of anarchism and regrets not buying when he could have doubled his money in ten years.
• 37:04Tim tries calling Jack on speaker phone to get him on the show to pitch the silver eagle set.
• 37:39Jack doesn't answer; Tim leaves a voicemail calling him a punk and asking if he can use the silver eagles to buy things on the dark web.
• 38:10These gold hustlers are just slanging shit to old people in Nebraska who buy off credit cards despite the economy doing poorly.
• 38:41On a recent cruise, Tim witnessed the jewelry hustle: a TV loop of 24-hour pitches preparing passengers to buy tacky jewelry at ports.
• 40:15At Costa Maya in Mexico, there's a guy dressed as a pirate standing outside the "International Diamond Exchange" to lure cruise tourists.
• 41:01Tim points out that these elderly cruise passengers—people who were alive in the 1970s—have never once been sold something good in their lives by phone solicitation.
• 43:16Tim jokes they should just start selling coins and identities on the show, become financial intermediaries, or get into arbitrage.
• 44:08Tim was skeptical during the mortgage boom when people were flipping houses and selling mortgages, thought it seemed fishy, didn't get involved, and just became a mark himself.
• 44:44Tim tries calling Jack again, threatening to break his head if he doesn't answer.
• 44:59Money is burning a hole in Tim's pocket and he wants this fucking kid to answer his phone.
