Him and his fat buddy on there both seem creepy as hell, so I won't be shocked if this turns out to be true.

It was a sexual assault on some sort of greasy food. I'm almost sure of it.

The other fat dude seems like he's 10x as creepy, so I'm kind of shocked it isn't him. Speaking of being shocked, he's the last body type I'd expect to be in possession of meth.

Isn't that bail a bit light on 19 drug and weapons charges? That is only $6200 for him to walk out of there. I know nothing of the guy's pay per episode, but the show was on the air long enough for me to think that's nothing for him.

He has lost a lot of weight in the last few years. Enough that he actually sounds different when he speaks.
If that's his mugshot from this arrest I think he found all that weight he lost.

I've only watched that show a couple times. It's hard to watch reality TV when the people in the show are such bad actors (ironic, eh?). This dude and the other fat dude - I guess he's the owner's son - always gave me the willies. As in - this doesn't surprise me at all.

Although - To be fair, it says he wasn't charged with the sex stuff....so........

Meth makes perfect sense seeing as him and the other fucktard lost a ton of weight few years ago.

The guys have absolutely no knowledge about what comes into the shop, or TV makes it seem that way. It's like everything that walks through the door is uber unique, or TV makes it seem that way...

Some lady brought in a Faberge brooch.
She wanted 2k for it.
Rick, being the nice guy that he is says "look, I can't do that to you. This is worth way more. I'll give you 15k for it"
She of course goes off super happy, doesn't try to negotiate or evaluate the situation.


It was worth about 80k

It wouldn't have done as well if they didn't make it unique.....
