<v Speaker 1>You can learn so much. Guys, did you know that in.

0:00:06.830 --> 0:00:10.900
<v Speaker 2>1975, an advertising executive named Gary Dahl started selling pet rocks?

0:00:19.290 --> 0:00:23.650
<v Speaker 3>And these were just ordinary stones that were packaged in

0:00:23.670 --> 0:00:27.570
<v Speaker 3>little cardboard pet carriers complete with a humorous training manual.

0:00:28.060 --> 0:00:33.020
<v Speaker 3>He managed to sell an estimated 1.5 million rocks for

0:00:33.020 --> 0:00:37.990
<v Speaker 3>$ 4 each in 1975. So a dude convinced more than

0:00:38.010 --> 0:00:39.450
<v Speaker 3>a million people to pay him for something he could

0:00:39.470 --> 0:00:41.300
<v Speaker 3>pick up off the ground. A hustler.

0:00:41.340 --> 0:00:42.300
<v Speaker 1>What is that? $ 6 million?

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.700
<v Speaker 3>You're the fast math guy. $ 6 million the guy made

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.550
<v Speaker 3>in 1975 selling rocks off the ground. More Fred show next.
