Thursday's (November 5th) show featured a segment about coin collecting.

Among the insights about coin collectors was:

"They have three characteristics. A, most of them are men. B, a lot of them have pony tails. And C, what they do seems incredibly boring to the rest of us."

Cash Peters is their comic-piece guy. He's pretty funny. I see he talked to Jack Beymer (misspelled in transcript) about crooked dealers:

Tsk, boys. So I instead I went up to one of the dealers and asked, "Are you a crook?"

Jack Baymer.

JACK BAYMER: If you polled 10 dealers, and you would find, maybe five out of 10 might try to pull a fast one.

PETERS: Is this industry riddled with sharks?

BAYMER: Of course! Is the used car business riddled with sharks?

PETERS: Yeah, but I think these people kinda look like they might be too educated, too intelligent.

BAYMER: I wouldn't say you're a very good judge of character.
