On this episode: our friend and special guest this week is Andrew Milne from Scotland.  We spend almost the entire show listening to his wit and wisdom-much greater than either Brian or Leon’s-even if it’s more difficult to understand his accent.  (Sometimes Brian and Leon’s northern New Jersey accent is also hard to understand.)  Plus, we will the answer to our previous stumper and Leon's Quote of the Week.

On this episode: ever heard of a painting with different scenes on each side?  Laura has one and we’ll explore which one might be worth more.  We’ll also talk with a gemologist about synthetic diamonds-not fake, but man made and just as good as the ones Superman created with his own hands.

On this episode: Find out all about Laureen’s Got to Boogie on today’s Value This.  That’s right…Laureen-not Brian or Leon, although Brian got to Boogie with her.  All that and German silver lamps and a brand new (never out of the box) Atari 2600.
