![]() I just thought that it’s the right thing to do. Why have you felt the urge to return it at all?Ĭarson: Because it wasn’t found in a store. Starlee: But normally, when you find stuff - like there is stuff in thrift stores: a picture, someone's wedding album - and the urge is not really to return it. Bob Six was just wealthy enough that he had this belt buckle made for him.Ĭarson: I started to feel guilty because there is a name on it that I should get this belt buckle back to him or to his kids or to somebody, right ? He's organized these trail rides for older guys in their 40s and they would go on the trail and eat breakfast and get drunk. ![]() Who was Hans Jordi? What did Bob Six appreciate him for?Ĭarson has a theory which he inherited from his Dad.Ĭarson: My Dad’s theory, which is funny, just because he said it, it stuck with me. They were the kind of names that demanded to be etched into silver. And, then the name on the back, it says: "In appreciation, Bob Six." B-O-B S-I-X It came with clues.Ĭarson: The name on the front is Hans Jordi: H-A-N-S J-O-R-D-I. Starlee Kine: Every lost object comes with a mystery that seems hopelessly impossible to solve. Starlee: Why did he get girls and you didn’t? Because you were too young? Carson: Too young, too tiny, obsessed with miniature toasters. He was like, "yeah you're right." He was like, "hey man you can have that." He didn’t really care about it.Ĭarson: Well you know, he had dynamite and girls and stuff. I think you should give it to him."Ĭarson: He gave it to me. Now, imagine seeing that belt buckle.Ĭarson: (laughing) I just sat there in his bedroom playing with it for half an hour, just popping the toast and putting it back, to the point where his mom took him out into the hallway and was like, "you know Carson loves that thing so much. Starlee Kine: Think back to when you were a little kid, how badly you wanted to believe the world was full of hidden treasures. It is the coolest belt buckle I have ever seen. They have like a crust and bread texture on the bread, and then you can push them right back down. Starlee: There is little tiny toast that comes out?Ĭarson: Yeah little tiny toast like as big as your pinky nail. ![]() There is a tiny tiny switch and if you flick the switch, the toast pops up. The pan of eggs - the eggs are painted very carefully with some kind of enamel - so they are yellow and white. On the front of it, there is a chef's hat, front and center, flanked by a corkscrew, a pan of eggs that are frying and a toaster. He went for a walk and he found it in the gutter. and he showed me this belt buckle that he had found in the gutter. (music)Ĭarson: One day, I went over to Jimmy’s house. The stick of dynamite was never seen, just the gunpowder was seen. He never really did anything that bad, you know? I remember he had found a stick of dynamite somewhere, and he had emptied out all the gunpowder.Ĭarson: Supposedly. I wouldn’t go so far as to call him a bad kid but you know he had a single mom so he could get away with more stuff than me and my brother 'cause she had to work and he just had a lot of unsupervised time.Ĭarson: Yeah - good guy. It’s an object that came into his life when he was nine years old, in Phoenix Arizona:Ĭarson: There was this kid in our neighborhood named Jimmy Turk, who was like maybe a year older than my brother, who is two years older than me and he was like a troublemaker. Usually that happens in your head but in Carson’s case, his mystery fits in the palm of his hand. When you have a mystery, you carry it around with you always. He knew me even before I was solving mysteries. Those mysteries, they're hiding around and around and round and round.)Ĭarson: Okay, so what two words do you know about my mystery? (music - 'cause mysteries, tomorrow I'll find out all I should know, those mysteries, I don't even know what I don't even know. Up until now there hasn’t been anyone to help with this. (music - why is there you, why is there me, why does my Mother kiss my Father occasionally). Starlee Kine: From Gimlet, I’m Starlee Kine and this is Mystery Show.
