Robert Price's $1 trillion frozen goldmine and Dr. Phil

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorQuick turn to your wallet this morning, and a story CNN is telling about a man named Robert Price, who was sitting on what the headline calls a one trillion dollar frozen goldmine.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA trillion dollars. That's every person in America getting about three thousand dollars, which is a lot of burritos.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFrozen is the key word.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe headline says he had it, but it does not say he could spend it, and then Dr. Phil got involved.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFrozen how? Can't we just thaw it? Put it in the microwave for ninety seconds, stir it halfway.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is not how money works.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's how my leftover lasagna works, and I've never had a complaint.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe details beyond the headline aren't clear to me, so I won't guess how a trillion dollars ends up on a talk show couch.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'll guess. Dr. Phil asked him how that's working for him, and the goldmine started crying.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy savings are frozen too. They're in a coffee can in the freezer, next to the peas.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is not what frozen means, Hank.
