- 0:01Speaker 1: John J. Rich.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Whatever something happens out of this town, out of this state, it's.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Our job to be a part of it, to highlight it.
- 0:09Speaker 2: And we do that whenever we can, because we are
- 0:12Speaker 2: Arizona's Morning show.
- 0:14Speaker 1: And something big happened at Arizona. I thought it was
- 0:16Speaker 1: so great.
- 0:16Speaker 2: But because of the Olympics, because of the super Bowl,
- 0:20Speaker 2: because of the waste management open, I think this story
- 0:23Speaker 2: got kind of shoved under the carpet.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I think it's a massive story.
- 0:27Speaker 2: It's a guy named Joey out of Chandler, Joey of Vaalos,
- 0:31Speaker 2: and he's on the phone round at Joey.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Hi, Hey, good morning, Joy, tell us the big news
- 0:37Speaker 1: about you. Please. Yeah.
- 0:40Speaker 3: So, just recently I got the word that I have
- 0:42Speaker 3: the largest collection of stranger things in the Movilia according
- 0:46Speaker 3: to Guinness World Records.
- 0:48Speaker 4: Oh wow, that's the official bood.
- 0:50Speaker 1: That's the biggest.
- 0:51Speaker 4: So you're gonna be in one of those books, man,
- 0:53Speaker 4: Is that's like a boat childhood dream?
- 0:55Speaker 3: Yeah hopefully so. Yeah. What they told me is as
- 0:58Speaker 3: long as no one beats my record, if I may,
- 1:00Speaker 3: I will be in the addition, coming to September in
- 1:02Speaker 3: the book.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Do you know about any competitors like how many things
- 1:06Speaker 2: do you have of Stranger Things?
- 1:08Speaker 1: How many how much.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Memory BA so the way yeah, so the way they
- 1:11Speaker 3: do it is I have to do on my collection
- 1:14Speaker 3: is two three hundred and one items. But those are
- 1:17Speaker 3: licensed items, so you can't count anything that's not licensed,
- 1:21Speaker 3: So anything from the show, props that sort of being
- 1:24Speaker 3: do not count towards the record. But I do know
- 1:27Speaker 3: a lot of big collectors out there, and I definitely
- 1:29Speaker 3: feel confident that I have one of the biggest collections
- 1:32Speaker 3: because of the license part of it.
- 1:34Speaker 1: What is the most valuable Stranger Things piece that you have?
- 1:39Speaker 3: I have a Stranger Things Funko pop. It's so limited
- 1:45Speaker 3: to only forty it's called a gold Hopper. They gave
- 1:48Speaker 3: them out at fun Days during San Diego Comic Con
- 1:51Speaker 3: a few years ago. And that one, depending where you
- 1:54Speaker 3: look on eBay, you might see some crazy prices for
- 1:57Speaker 3: that one.
- 1:58Speaker 4: And are you a huge fan of the show? So
- 2:00Speaker 4: are you more about collecting? Are being a collector?
- 2:05Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:05Speaker 3: All the above, Right, I've been a collector all my lives.
- 2:07Speaker 3: When I was growing up. I grew up in the eighties,
- 2:10Speaker 3: so that's kind of where I got the connection from
- 2:12Speaker 3: the show, and then I just love the show when
- 2:14Speaker 3: it first aired, fell in love with it, start collecting
- 2:17Speaker 3: a couple of things here and there, and then just
- 2:19Speaker 3: grew from there. And then I met some other people
- 2:22Speaker 3: that at conventions, and yeah, I just love all of it.
- 2:25Speaker 1: What'd you think of the finale of Stranger Things?
- 2:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it's very different, controversial, but I loved it.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:34Speaker 3: I know it wasn't perfect up, you know, absolutely, it's
- 2:37Speaker 3: not perfect, but I love how they finish every character
- 2:41Speaker 3: arc and I was happy with that.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Do you have other collecting things besides Stranger Things?
- 2:47Speaker 3: Oh, there's been Stranger things. Nah, you know, honestly, that's
- 2:51Speaker 3: what it was my main focus. I started out collecting,
- 2:54Speaker 3: like a lot of people this day and age, I
- 2:56Speaker 3: kind of make a joke like this generation, it's kind
- 2:58Speaker 3: of like our stamps and so collecting toys and MEMORABILIAUS stuff.
- 3:03Speaker 3: I was collecting phoneo pops from all different type of
- 3:06Speaker 3: PAULF culture. But then when I started really focused on
- 3:09Speaker 3: Stranger Things, I just don't have the room for anything else, honestly.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Okay, so how many items do you have again of
- 3:14Speaker 1: Stranger Things?
- 3:16Speaker 3: So the record is two thousand and three? Oh, one,
- 3:18Speaker 3: but I have over three thousand items.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Oh okay, so you have over three thousand, so we
- 3:23Speaker 2: got to keep you at the highest number until May.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Do you know who second place is?
- 3:27Speaker 3: Yeah? At least so I'm the one that first set
- 3:31Speaker 3: the record. There was no record beforehand. So the limit
- 3:34Speaker 3: the minimum that you can do for a record. Again,
- 3:36Speaker 3: if is.
- 3:36Speaker 2: A thousand, okay, all right, so you're most likely you're
- 3:39Speaker 2: gonna be in it in May then, right. And also,
- 3:41Speaker 2: let's say someone's right behind you. Could you buy more
- 3:46Speaker 2: of the same thing? Like does it have to be different?
- 3:49Speaker 2: Like if you have ten demogorgans, can you have three
- 3:52Speaker 2: hundred demogorgans of the same one?
- 3:54Speaker 1: Or they have to be different?
- 3:55Speaker 3: They have yeah, one of one, so you can't have
- 3:58Speaker 3: duplicates or anything like that. And it is a process.
- 4:02Speaker 3: So anybody who wants to do it, good luck. I
- 4:04Speaker 3: don't think I'll ever do it again. It took me
- 4:06Speaker 3: days to prep. They have very strict guidelines, and anyone
- 4:10Speaker 3: does it, good on you.
- 4:12Speaker 2: So you mean to submit it when you submit to
- 4:15Speaker 2: the Guinness, there's a lot of prep for that.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Is that what you mean?
- 4:18Speaker 3: Yeah, so you have there's other there's certain things you
- 4:21Speaker 3: can do. You either can put little stickers on every
- 4:23Speaker 3: item that are numbered, so basically cream that or you
- 4:26Speaker 3: have to have a clicker. You have to have a
- 4:28Speaker 3: witness there. You have to videotape the whole tire collection
- 4:32Speaker 3: from start to finish. You got to send them the video.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I mean spreadsheets. It's a lot, it's.
- 4:38Speaker 1: A lot of work come out.
- 4:42Speaker 4: That's why you gotta do something that's like an endurance thing,
- 4:44Speaker 4: because then you don't have to do anything. It's like
