Top Shelf Stories with J Chris and Tony. Let me tell you a little story of how I acquired a softball-sized jar of cicadas. This is Top Shell Stories. All right, so you guys know I go to this music festival, right.
Tony:Like every weekend.
Chris:Every Memorial Day weekend, year after year, year, I have gone down to southern illinois to a four-day camp in music festival. A camp in music festival means you camp right near the stages. There are places where you should not camp and cannot camp because it's the stage. Otherwise, camp there. I mean, it sounds fun, I would do it. It is phenomenal. Don't wear shoes. Listen to music all day, hang out. Why don't you wear shoes? It's just, it feels great, man, it's good. I don't like grass, I'm fine, then wear your fucking shoes, okay, sorry.
Chris:so everyone's having a great time, right? But one of my favorite things at this music festival, and one of the stories I'm going to tell you today, is about this thing called Frick Frack Blackjack. Frick Frack Blackjack is a bunch of carnies that go from festival to festival, street festival to street festival, music festival to music festival, with a little caravan full of random goods Random goods acquired from patrons from other festivals, from other festivals and what you do there is you bring random goods and things to the table, so it's not like a lost and found and they're using lost and found items I mean it kind of sounds like a lost and found is a little bit of that, I'm sure.
Chris:I'm sure if you found something along the path at the music festival and you're like, oh dang, that is a button that says butt drugs, I'm gonna put that in my pocket.
Tony:For the gamble it away. I feel like you came up with that because you have a button that says butt drugs no that they exist, they are out there I them.
Chris:He won. But you could, for example, at Frick Frack Blackjack. They do not accept the American dollar, the Canadian dollar, any type of Euro or Dortch mark or anything Zimbabwe dollar, whatever you got, they ain't taking it. No stock certificates, nothing. It's all trading. It's all trading Like it used to be. It should be now.
Chris:So, how it works is you go up and this is a carny tent caravan across the country that has behind it. Picture this You're at a music festival, it's four in the morning, the music has stopped. You go to your tent to get your bag of goods that you want to gamble away at frick frack blackjack. This story is about me. I had a bunch of vintage unused bottle caps from old sodas. Can I ask you one really quick? Sure, uh, so this is actual blackjack with cards. Yes, okay. So I'm at my tent. I grabbed my bag. My bag contains unused bottle caps from vintage sodas and drinks how?
Tony:how did you find them unused?
Chris:uh, my great grandmother, my gram, my wife's grandmother actually went to a store and had them for crafting. She gave me this bag or actually it started as a big box of crap and I shrunk it down to a little bag of crap.
Chris:You lost it all at the frick frack blackjack well, no so I didn't want to carry a bunch of crap to the frick frack blackjack. I just had a little pouch in my music festival bag full of random things for frick frack blackjack and it contained fanny that's called unused bottle caps from vintage sodas, Even with cork tops and shit. They were great Little thumb, thimble nail protectors from funeral homes From probably like the 20s, the 30s, 40s. Right Are these prized possessions?
Tony:I had. These are frick frack blackjack.
Chris:These are frick frfrack blackjack, All his family heirlooms. These are frick-frack blackjack possessions Because I noticed from my years of experience that people bring a lot of unique things there and the unique is what they want. They want the unique right. I had a pocket, a jeans pocket that you would sew onto jeans, full of zippers, which I thought would be of great value.
Tony:I have to see a picture of that the Frick Frack Blackjack right.
Chris:It's a pocket from jeans, but not attached to jeans, that you would sew onto jeans, full of zippers that you would use to replace zippers on clothing if you had a bad zipper, okay so you carry around zippers.
Chris:I had this bag of goods and I took it to the Frick Frack Blackjack and inside of it was a bunch of other goodies, right, little tiny bag about the size of a lunch bag, like you would take a lunch bag. Yeah, frick Frack Blackjack. It's four in the morning. I've been drinking for a day and a half partying at a music festival and before bed I decided I'm gonna go gamble away my wares and see what I can get. When you approach the tables it's kind of intimidating because there's all this action. People are yelling and screaming behind you. You see shelves and shelves of various goods, kind of like the bottom shelves, kind of junk, like stuffed animals and random crap like revised pockets full of zippers.
Chris:The next levels, like pictures and like random. The most random shit you could ever imagine in your entire life is inside this tent and you sit down at the table and there's like 20 seats at this table for one game of blackjack. And how it works is you place your goods and in my case I used. My first gamble was three bottle caps and two thimbles. Who decides the price? So as the carny comes around, they come to you and they say, oh wow, what have you got here? And of course I'm'm like I have vintage, never-before-seen, never-used bottle caps and thimbles from funeral homes across the country and I'm offering a few of them up here for gambling and so, okay, let's see. So the carney turns around and he looks back at the shelf.
Tony:Is it like Pawn Stars today? He's like I got to bring an expert in. Well, there are no they will, they have.
Chris:I want the story continues. There is an expert that comes into this story. I mean there could be something expensive. I wouldn't doubt it if you had all those people there, especially those hippies. Remember the just remind. I'll remind you of the pocket full of zippers. It comes up later.
Tony:This is a cash mat from a 1972 Dodge Charger.
Chris:Exactly, dude. So you come to this place, you put your bet down and they come around in their carny ways and they're like pirates, like steampunk yeah, I've seen that. And they're like hey, what do you got here, I got these fucking bottle caps and these vintage symbols and they come to you and they're all right One second. And they turn around and they go through their fucking pile of shit and they come back and they're like you want to gamble it for this sticker with a with a, with a, with a dinosaur on it. And I'm like, no, fuck your zipper or fuck your sticker. I don't want that shit, fuck your sticker, I don't want that shit. And then they turn around and they go back and they look and then the guy came with like a little fidget spinner thing. Looks like a Nintendo, right.
Chris:I'm like all right, let's fucking bet and he puts it down and that's our bet. So you're one one, you're dealer versus five or six of us were there at the time. So, but then how do you? You're playing against the dealer. That's how blackjack works. Okay, so if the dealer's, I understand that.
Tony:But we don't have money here. Do you, though? No, you don't have money.
Chris:So the dealer came to me and he offered me a sticker first and I said fuck your sticker, I don't want that shit. That's not a fair trade. He said hold on, I'll get something better.
Tony:And he went back to his shelf and he brought back a fidget spinner so he does this to each player. Yes, okay, so everyone's set. That's what I want to know. So it's like an hour, 20 per hand. It takes fucking forever, but it's hilarious.
Chris:Yeah, that's what I'm saying, because everyone's got fucking rubber chickens and fucking glow like all this random shit right.
Chris:I get it. Everybody good, everybody good. We start dealing cards and it deals cards just like you play poker or just like you play blackjack. He draws a 17. I got an 18. I win. I get to keep my bottle caps and my thimbles and I got the little fidget spinner. So the next hand comes up, I'm like, all right, I'll raise the ante. I keep everything out there and I go back to my pocket or my, my bag of goods. Was there anything you're eyeing up behind him? You're like I want that. Not really, but it happens watch so then I get this shit I get this shit, I got this bag.
Chris:It's second hand. I'm like, all right, I'm gonna put up the bag the the pocket full of zippers. I think this is gonna go big.
Chris:I think to myself and by this time a friend of mine had come by, I had like three people watching me. So I get start getting rambunctious. And I'm like here we go, these fucking pocket full of zippers. And the guy comes around again and he's like what the fuck is this? I'm like it's a fucking pocket full of zippers. Dude, you've never had that coming along. And the first thing you said was what the fuck is this? It's the most valuable thing that's on the table right now and there's like fucking pokemon cards and like I don't even know butt plugs, all kinds of shit, anything you could ever imagine. These people are trading up and they're at it all up on the table, and he's like I don't want your fucking pocket full of zippers, this is trash.
Chris:I'm like fine, fuck you and so then I brought out like die cast vintage like luke skywalker and chewbacca and I put those down. He's like, oh, these are fucking pretty good right here. And he's looking at them and they're from like the fucking 70s or some shit. I got them in some way. So he goes back behind the wall and he's like, how about this? And he brings me like, uh, a soap dispenser with like baba fett on it or something, and I'm like, all right, that's fine, but you need fucking more. This is trash. So he comes back and he's like I got this rubber band gun. I'm like fucking rubber band gun, it doesn't work, bullshit. And he loads it up. I'm like find me a fucking rubber band and I'll maybe let you put that down on the table. And he's fucking looking around. He finds a rubber band, shoots one of his co-workers they all fucking have a big laugh about it puts it down. That's part of the deal. And then I think I was bitching and moaning about something else and he gave me a lightsaber.
Chris:It was broken, lightsaber thing right one of those, one of those things you flick out and it gets bigger.
Tony:So we make a deal.
Chris:I'm like, all right, fucking great, right, remember, it's four in the morning. It's been a day and a half. This is the second time they've done this through the night. The guy's like fucking running on E probably ecstasy by E, I mean and he's fucking doing his thing and there's like a whole gaggle of carnies that are like switching turns, running the blackjack table. There's like a baccarat, there's a phylo shit, like there's a whole bunch of little games, right, so we make the deal. He keeps going around and, like you said, the games take fucking forever because they're fucking joking with you and running the fucking run, he fucking the other girl comes, blah, blah, blah, fucking.
Chris:Time elapses. I'm talking to my friend. All of a sudden this woman comes by. She's behind the counter and she's like oh, what you got here? Holy shit, you got a lot. I'm like, yeah, I'm letting it ride and I turn around and all the shit's still there that the guy already added to my fucking stack. So I had like all my shit plus all the shit I agreed to bet with. And she's like well, what are we gonna do now? What are you gonna bet with me now? So at this point I'm like this girl doesn't realize that all this shit I already made a deal. This isn't all my shit.
Chris:This is like 50, 50, shit right here, it's the house. But she's like what the fuck? And so she turns around and she's like, how am I gonna fucking do this, whatever? Whatever she brings out, this jar, this jar is like the size human thumb in it the size of like a softball, or maybe a little bigger. It's got a screw top on it. Maybe it had tootsie rolls like 300 of them in it, or something. At one point or something. It's full of cicadas.
Tony:Ew. Like the skins of cicadas right.
Chris:I'm like, I'm like, I'm in bitch, let's do it.
Tony:They only come around every nine years.
Chris:The whole thing was fucking. I am. I am on one at this point. I got a crowd behind me of like three or four people. I know I'm fucking rolling. I skipped the part about the pockets. She was in love with the pockets. The pockets were in the pile, the pocket of zippers I was arguing with her about. I'm like she had all this shit out and I'm like no, not just the pocket.
Tony:I'll give you three fucking zippers. Do you want a long zipper? A?
Chris:medium zipper, a short zipper. She's like I don't know. I'm like then take one of each, fucking throwing them down like they're dollar chips and shit like, and then I'm like you can keep the fucking pocket, but I'm keeping the rest of these zippers. I'll be back next year. Whatever run the fucking table. She had the fucking. I agreed all of my shit for this little jar, this fucking softball size jar of fucking cicada skins. Right, she runs around fucking double down, dude, it was a double down. You know what double?
Tony:down means we had to fucking figure out how the hell I was gonna match she was gonna match what was the number next thing, you know, all your zippers were on, so then all my zippers were on the line.
Chris:She had a bunch of other shit on the fucking line she had brought, like all these things all the more I'm sitting there at this table with like a pile.
Chris:I started with this little baggie with fucking bottle caps and thimbles and three hands deep. Now I might have skipped a hand. I'm sitting here with this fucking pile of shit in front of me and we're fucking double down, spinning and I lose or maybe it was a draw, but I didn't win and I didn't really care and the woman ran away and the guy comes back and he's fucking looking at the cards and looking all the shit and he's like what? What happened here? I'm like, well, me and her fucking drawed and then I fucking put double down and then she fucking brought this. He's like how'd you get the gun? I'm like I don't know, it's part of the fucking thing. And he's like all right, high, low.
Chris:He puts down a seven and I'm like, fuck high, fuck hi, bam queen, I take all this shit, so I have. Now I have arms full of shit, yeah, and this guy and this couple, this beautiful woman and this man, come fucking walking in and he throws a 20 down on the table as I'm talking to my friends with all my shit, trying to fucking hoard it into my pockets.
Tony:I got fucking a lightsaber you got to play one more hand to get a bag.
Chris:I got a lightsaber. I got a fucking hand soap dispenser. I got bag of. I got a jar full of cicada skins. I had fucking like all these stickers, these, whatever. The guy throws a 20 down, she's yelling at him. She's like get the fucking shit out of here. What the fuck is this? And then he's like, well, I don't understand, I want to fucking buy some things. And she's like you don't fucking buy shit. Yelling at him like fucking.
Chris:Put your shoe on the table. So he goes to me. He's like dude, let me buy some of your things, I of your things. I'm like fuck you, man. I worked hard for this shit. Dude, I have been here for 45 minutes. There's no way you're getting any of this shit from me. He's like come on, dude, let me just get. Like, let me get that lightsaber for 20 bucks. Give him a cicada I'm like go fuck.
Tony:I think that's what he asked for first. I'm like fuck off dude, like no dude I'm not playing with you.
Chris:You're look at you. Why don't you gamble that hat? Do you like the hat you were wearing? And he's wearing this really nice, like fitted yankees hat. It's all fucking brand new. There's not even fuzz on it, the rim's not bent, nothing he comes up with money. He's got this hat I'm like so and now?
Tony:you want to play games?
Chris:do you want to play games or do you want to fucking have that? Hat and he's like I can't give up my hat. And she's like come on, man, sell him one of your things. So finally I'm like all right, I'll give you the soap dispenser and the lightsaber. Why would you, for 20 bucks, you want to say, kids get that bad. So I give him this broken broken't give up broken broken plastic retractable lightsaber with like a flashlight at the bottom end of it with no batteries.
Chris:Right, it was actually a flashlight baba fat soap dispenser with like a broken top and it doesn't even have any soap in it or nothing. I don't really like this game. This dude was so fucking happy. He's like thanks so much, man, I'm gonna get you back sometime, don't you worry. Dude Like this is the best ever.
Tony:Well considering, you gave me $20 for 10 cents worth of goods I got $20, dude.
Chris:So I go back to camp. Everyone's asleep at the camp. It's like 200 yards away, maybe, right, like from here to the shooting. President Trump, yeah, sniper shot, sniper shot. Right, I go back to camp at like four in the morning, whatever, five, four thirty, whatever it is now there's nobody up, the music's like nearly dead this, the birds are chirping and shit.
Chris:I'm unloading all this shit I got out of my pockets under, like the community table like that, like Like in the center of camp. So I wake up in the morning, glorified, and all I hear is what the fuck happened last night. There's this pile of just fucking gypsy hippie shit all over the table, a jar of bugs, a fucking gun with rubber bands. So I wake up and, yeah, I wake up in the morning and I'm like, yeah, dude, I got all these fucking bugs with this gun last night. It was fucking wild. And everyone's like, well, I'm not understanding if I'm like on drugs or something or if I'm what. Then my mom wakes up and she's like chris, were you at the frick frack blackjack? And I was like, yeah, why? She's like I could hear you cackling and harassing them from the tent last night dude, I did.
Chris:She heard your ass 200 yards away frick, you know, you know.
Tony:What's funny about that is a parent can hear their child from everywhere, from anywhere.
Chris:But I was cackling in the angle of the way we were down the hill from it. I could totally understand how she heard me, but, dude, that was the most fucking fun over like an hour of 20 minutes that I was completely by myself, completely like off. Fucking what, what the hell was I doing?
Tony:gambling shit ahead of fucking do they only set this up like really late?
Chris:they, yeah, they don't like they're there. It's in like an area that's like the art center, where there's a lot of art structures and the festivals.
Tony:This is like in the middle of the woods.
Chris:Well, it's kind of it's like off to the side and there's like a gypsy home that you can visit during the day and they like do like meditation sessions and all this other hippie bullshit stuff there. But then at night, next to it, is this fucking Frick Frack Blackjack and yeah, it's open at this festival. It's open from like probably two in the morning till seven in the morning. Jesus, it runs all night long and there's people. Dude, remember, I told the story once about the guy who got his ass tattooed. Yeah, so he came in while I was gambling, while I was fucking throwing chips or throwing all my shit down, and he's like he walks in and I'm like, oh, fucking I and I announced it. I'm like everybody, a fucking legend has just entered the fucking tent and they're like he goes, he goes. You must have seen my ass, haven't?
Tony:you and I'm like you bet your fucking ass I did dude.
Chris:He's like yeah, yeah, that girl's name's still on my fucking ass. For those of you who don't know, three Dimes Reviews did an episode back a few years ago where I told the story about the guy who gambled. He bet that if she won the bet he could tattoo his name on her ass. He was a professional tattoo artist and the carny agreed that if she won she would get tattooed her name on his ass. He's got so many tattoos, what's another one?
Chris:He wasn't even that tattooed of a guy. Really, she won the hand. Later that night he did come around and get his ass tattooed behind the fucking.
Tony:Well, yeah, it sounds like frick frack blackjack. Your word is your bond. It's absolutely that, dude.
Chris:Or you could never be. Yeah, it's so much fun. This year's was a little scaled back, which I'm kind of okay with. Last year they had like a whole stage and a whole act and a whole show. Well, I'd be more impressed if the guy got the tattoo on the penis than the butt.
Tony:That would have been a better bet it would have been a better bet. She doesn't have a penis, though, so it's not equal he's gonna tattoo a badge lip side his initials on the clit but yeah, that's the story of Frick Frack Blackjack man.
Chris:That shit's fun. Look it up on the internet. Frick Frack, they go around Blackjack. I can only imagine living like as I was sitting there at the table waiting for everyone to like on the internet. Frick Frack, they go around Blackjack. I can only imagine living like as I was sitting there at the table waiting for everyone to like settle their bets and shit. You look around and you see the people behind the counter and they're like full-fledged steampunk carnies. They've been going around year after year doing this. They do have an exchange thing where you can like exchange dollars. It's like a scrap, like a swap meet style. Oh, my.
Chris:God, okay, so like it exists, but like that dude, I came out of there with 20 bucks, I turned some bottle caps into $20 and a jar of fucking cicadas that I'm fucking pretty proud of, actually. So where are the cicadas now, proudly displayed on my shelf in my bedroom? Perfect, yeah, probably. They were on the coffee table for a while and like three days, and katie was like what the fuck are we doing with this job?
Tony:let's put them where we have sex.
Chris:It's the skin of cicadas, man yeah, so that's actually a very common thing. I googled it how does frick frack not the skin of the skin? That's fucking weird how does. How does frick frack black blackjack work? Bet anything barter blackjack gaming show, step up and place the bet there's. But there's one catch there's no money allowed for frack blackjack or glow sticks they will fucking. You. Put a glow stick on the table, they will throw it at you, in your face, with the force of a hundred men.
Tony:I don't blame them.
Chris:Fuck your glow stick. I'd throw that. I'd throw it at you if you weren't. Frick Frack, blackjack and me, yeah. So this is that's. That's really common. There's a lot of stuff Like there's even images of Frick Frack.
Tony:Blackjack. It's like a gimmick you can have come to your party.
Chris:Yeah, this is a huge thing actually. Yeah. Frick Frack Blackjack Baltimore At four in the morning. Baltimore has their own Frick Frack Blackjack At four in the morning. After two days of music festival partying, it is one of the most fun experiences. I had such a blast making these gambles and it might have been because I kept winning, but it was so much fucking fun dude wow, it's such a blast because it takes like the risk out of it, because, like you're putting up shit you don't give a shit about.
Chris:Like that jacket right there, dude, that, that jacket, that, yeah, would be like like gold oh, dude you would be third or fourth shelf worth of shit you could walk out with like a model car from the 40s. All right, remind me next time I go with you to come and stop at Tony's place and grab this Michael Jackson lookalike jacket.
Tony:What if I had?
Chris:that deer head. Would that get me? That would get you a lot. I remember a couple years ago the most prized thing everyone wanted was a fucking. For some reason there was just a license plate. It was random, I forget even what state it was, but everyone wanted that fucking license plate. Dude, the guy who finally went away from the license plate was like hailed, Hailed as a champion, Like he fucking negotiated his way up. Could, he have sold that to someone else, like you did to somebody. No.
Tony:The fact that I came out of there.
Chris:The fact that I came out of their money with money.
Tony:That was out of desperation, not because he wanted the piece this can be desperation is that sought after?
Chris:here's what it was. Here's what it was. So music goes to like four this was like 4 30 in the morning. There was probably some molly type rave going on and this guy had this gal that was way out of his league and he's like, oh, let me go take her to the fucking casino, right? And then he got there and he was fucking broke. No matter how clean his jeans were, no matter how fit his cap was, he didn't have money for that fucking experience. He had to come to some dirty, barefooted fucking hippie with thinning hair in his forties to fucking man up and buy some fucking trash to play games. That's what it was. It was a fucking complete flip of the switch. That girl probably thought I was a God at that moment. If, if she went home with him at the end because of that, she probably thought I was a God.
Tony:I'll just be honest, for sure a hippie god like a like a crystal clear shot of a yeti. Well, we have a name for that. I would that podcast. I would for sure go to this music festival just for this, sleep all day, just so I could be wide awake for frick black jack tony, I am telling you, there are people it's so funny.
Chris:They come in there this is their fucking shtick, they love this, right. And they come in there with an old fucking suitcase and they open it up and like there's things hung on the top part of the suitcase and they like fucking have a retractable suitcase stand and they put that motherfucker next to them with all their shit in this suitcase and they're just like like a prop comic, throwing shit up, bringing it back, switching their idea. Dude, it is insanity what people on drugs especially, will do playing at Frick Frack Blackjack. Dude, it is insanity. It is the most hilarious thing you'll ever experience in your life.
Chris:I wish more people could experience, but it requires committing to a four day music festival a lot of the time, which is a big commitment, for an hour of fun at the fucking steampunk casino. I don't know, it seemed like they were everywhere. It seemed like you didn't have to go to they do, they'll come to like a state fair or like a county fair, like well, actually I I am going to a three-day music festival next month. You should see if frick frack blackjack's going to make a jimmy?
Chris:No, because if they don't and you tell them they might show up Like I don't know how the business arrangement works between the festival and the carnies that show up to do swapping, but it's just like. It's like an act. It's an entertainment act. All of the people there are acting.
Tony:Here. I got a good Frick Frack Blackjack good right over here. Frick Frack Blackjack Good right over here. Oh, he's found something here in the shop.
Chris:in the bunker he's found something he believes would be a good item for Frick Frack Blackjack.
Tony:Number one, grandma comb brush, combo with a mirror, oh yeah dude, this fine piece, oh yeah, with the wrapper.
Chris:Dude With a Coke mirror, with the Coke mirror and the wrapper dude With a. Coke mirror. With the Coke mirror and the wrapper it looks like a flip phone comb that opens up that says number one grandma. Why does it say number one grandma? They all do this would. How many do you have? A thousand, you have a thousand of these.
Tony:I don't personally, but I know how to get at them. But I'm telling you.
Chris:What the fuck are you talking about? Personally, but I know how to get at them. But I'm telling you what are you talking about. You could start banking these up like five, five grandma comb bets at a time dude like I can make it to the license plate you think you could move your way up with that shit if you had a thousand, because you could lose a few hands if you got a thousand just just.
Tony:The transport gets a little tricky yeah, that was the thing.
Chris:So my my objective was to have this. I just had a tiny bag like the size, like I said, like a lunch sandwich bag full of shit. Too bad, you weren't using money, you were lying on lucky's trick. You'd have been coming home with cash on the table instead of fucking fucking bugs. There's no amount of money that can move that jar oh my god hands, dude, I'm not even kidding.
Chris:I bet you would take 25 000, you think so, for 25 grand I'd trade my jar of cicadas if I, if I, if I gave you a hundred dollar bill you'd be like here you go. No, because then I I can never tell that story. You can tell the story. You just don't have the bugs, if anyone.
Tony:If anyone, you're telling me this story. No, I don't know. You still have the bugs.
Chris:This story told on this podcast will be challenged by somebody in the fucking audience and I will fucking send you a leg of one of these fucking cicadas. You say can send you a leg of one of these fucking cicadas? You say you still have them. I don't see them. I have them. There's no denying this story yeah, yeah, I.
Tony:So I got a cousin. He's actually, uh, a listener of this fine podcast. Um, he's sort of addicted to auctions and that's a.
