Many people don't know about him because discus, who knows about discus?
So to kind of bring it up again is really a great feeling.
We brought in my dad's four Olympic gold medals, and some memorabilia, and a discus.
He won four consecutive gold medals in discus in '56, '60, '64 and '68, so we had those medals.
APPRAISER: I would place an insurance value on the whole collection here at $400,000.
GUEST: Are you kidding?
Holy smokes.
Wow, that's impressive.
Wow.
I was really hoping I would get Leila because I've seen her on the show, and she's so enthusiastic, and so freaking smart.
And when she walked in and walked to our table, I was so excited.
Each medal really did represent something, like his first medal, he was way too young, shouldn't have been there, but he won.
And then in two other games, he was injured, shouldn't have been there, and he won.
And in ' 68, he kids around saying he was too old and shouldn't have been there, but he won.
We are going to put them back in a safe and not let kids play with them anymore.
OFF CAMERA: Oh were they playing with them?
GUEST: Probably, grandkids and all.
