Oh my God, thank you so much for having me here.

You got it masterfully.
You're the first interior decorator I've ever had here.
No, I think maybe, I mean, I don't know.
This is a big place.
We could, I could just razzle dazzle around here.
I could sprinkle some glitter around here.
I'd love to get rid of some of this man cave.
He walked in, he's like, I love what you've done with the plate.
I'm twirling around on ice skates on the carpet.
Have you thought about fresh flowers at all?
Nothing built the ambiance like that.
I want to get there.
That's crazy that you do that.
You look at you live in a bus station.
I do.
No, I look like I sell weed with Seth Rogen.
No, I get it.
I sell mids stick weed.
Mexican brickweed only?
Yeah, that's it.
I wish we'd go back to that.
Sorry to cut you off.
Everybody does.
Yeah.
No, I don't smoke weed because I can't get that weed.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, that weed was okay.
My mom used to have that weed.
It was great.
I like a little stem, a little seed.
It's a little smoky flavor.
I like just don't think I'm smoking a little drywall.
Right.
Do you have any brown stick?
Yeah.
Do you have any, like, really stiff plastic bag weed
for $30 for a big, giant bag
of it from. I want something the cops are going to laugh
at when they pull me over. This is where you
getting this from? I could have got you better shit than this.
When you break it up and the seeds fall on the paper
I love it. Then you put it, then you take
that, you put in a little paper cup
with a little bit of a little bit of topsoil, a little bit
of water, and you got a weed plant growing.
Then you think you have a weed plant for three months.
It's starting to bud, dude.
Oh, that was the best.
Oh, it's a female. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's nothing.
Oh, I'm stupid. Yeah, I've watched
so many people. I just like him. I think it looks
cool when you grow something like that.
I'm not trying to move any weight or do you think.
You couldn't if you wanted to.
I know.
It's all male plants, dude.
Some dick kid tells you that.
Dude, UV lights off.
You're going to get gnats.
The bugs.
Fruit flies?
Yeah, yeah.
I've had that happen to me.
Buddy, give us the backstory.
Give us the origin story.
Well, I grew up in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, which is like a, it's like a French-Canadian
mill trash town.
Like, I'm like...
That's the first time we've ever had that of French-Canadian mill trash town?
It's the most, it's the most French, French, French, uh,
French-Canadian spoken is the only town in the United States that had French on the ATMs.
Really?
That was a big fun stuff.
Get out of here.
Where are the fucking close to Canada?
What's the name of it?
It was like when they just dropped a lot of French Canadians.
They were like, let's get out of here.
We're going to this beautiful land where there's dye mills where you can get leukemia for your wife.
This is from Canada?
They were saying this?
Quebec, yeah.
So they came down.
They came down.
I like to say my family came down in a wagon in 1991.
It was a station wagon, but still.
It was a horse-drawn wooden wagon there.
But it's a very, it's just a mill rat.
You know, like, everybody gets along.
It's pretty muddy.
It's pretty, like, a lot of, like, you know when you see like.
Oh, you say it's pretty muddy?
Like French mutt.
You know when you see like fetal alcohol syndrome face?
Yeah.
Your cousin, Jen, who gives head for biking, like that kind of shit.
Slipknot t-shirt and Bruins pajamas.
9 a.m. on a Monday morning getting the cart in the USA Golds, that type of shit.
How the fuck do you know my cousin?
That's what I want to know.
She got me a good deal on a tattoo all free hand.
Yeah, that kind of shit.
That's good.
That's that kind of town.
What did your parents do?
Were they in the pelts or anything like that?
Yeah, right.
Trappers?
They were fur trappers,
venison jerky makers.
No, my dad was a used car salesman, third gen.
Second gen, I'm third gen.
No kidding.
Wait, you sell used cars now, too, still?
I sell a few cars a year.
I've been at car sales in my entire life.
Are you out of your fuck?
Who are you?
It's like an hunkerolic.
You're never not a used car salesman.
I got to do it.
You're always one bad, one bad month.
away from selling cars again it'll be given a couple hours you're going to be like you know
the nick could probably get me a deal on a scalade so you hold on so your family
migrated down from Quebec to this town in Rhode Island your dad started a car dealer
used car dealership he dropped out of school in ninth grade my father uh-huh your dad your
parents came down no my grandfather your grandfather your grandfather yeah then my father
dropped out of school ninth grade quit just like straight up like I was like really they let you do
What was your grandfather doing?
He was a patent maker for like a dye, I don't know, a valve mill.
Okay.
What does that mean?
A patent.
Like, you work in an office and they steal your ideas, basically.
Yeah.
Okay.
He came up with ideas.
Yeah, he did.
Anything juicy?
I think he created like a diverter valve and they bought him a car.
It was a big story, but he was a shit.
That was your grandfather?
Yeah, yeah.
Old Norman, yeah.
He was, but we don't get along.
You know, the family's all disjointed, everybody hates everybody.
So, get that fucking guy out of here.
Really?
All angry French Canadians.
No one's allowed to use his sink in his household.
Yeah, yeah, because it's, I wouldn't even want to go over there if he invited me.
Really?
Yeah, that type of shit.
I like it.
Yeah.
So how many brothers and sisters do your dad have?
He had a seven or something?
All right, so they're, damn, that is.
It's like one of those where you don't even know.
It's like eight.
I don't know.
A couple of them are dead.
Who knows?
You're not close with them.
Nope.
I'm not close with any of the cousins just because of where I grew up with.
And then my mom was a, she was a bookkeeper.
She's like an office lady.
Got you.
Like a cons receivable.
Respectable job.
Respectable, yep.
Yep. She keeps me on my toes. She keeps all the books in line. And my dad sold new cars, kind of made a little bit of bread right away, like 18. The owner took a like...
That's really right away. That's right away.
You know, selling you... There's always that moment in the car business where you sell your teacher a car. That's a very common thing.
Really?
And you sell your, like, teacher, and the teacher's like, how much money? And then you get to look at the creditor report. And like, you make that, you piece of shit.
I make that in a good April. I can't even spell. I hold my pen like this.
And I make more of it
That's one of the new questions
I wanted to ask you to hold a pen and show me your handwriting
That's a good one
Show me your handwritten
That's a good tell
That's crazy
So your dad starts selling cars
Yeah opens a small car la
Everybody's like
Oh, small four
Now that you've seen this car dealership before
It's four cars
One garage, one man door
Stickers on the windshield
They say like 4995
Or hand paint
Which I can do pretty well
Really?
Apska matter
Whatever they call
the thick paint markers with the colors.
You put like, you know, air conditioning, moon roof, power windows, you know, like star, you know, that shit, price, year.
Low miles.
What about or best offer?
No.
No or best offer?
So the fun thing is, um, I, Nello's motor sales was the name of my dad's and it was on the side of a strip club called the K2U.
And we were the first to do buy here, pay here in the state of Rhode Island.
What do you mean?
Buy here pay here is like, every dirt bag's got to, we were the first to do this.
We were the first to do this.
Yes.
grandfather patented
We patented
Rip it off people in the hood
That's free crab legs
Yeah
So you have to give like
So say the car is like
Three grand
You would
You're moving nice cars over there
Yeah yeah
Yeah you know beautiful
Say if you guys can wrap you head around a car
Being three grand
A late model Deville
You know
You know
So you put 500 down
You pay $35 a week
Forever
It's like rent a center
It's like the origin
Now who holds
So like there's really
You hold the note
You could fuck us
So you're leasing it
Oh, you can fuck us.
You could walk away.
Good news is my fucking eight-sized shitbox cousin will come kick your fucking door down.
Come get the car.
Yeah, and they get the car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really?
No rules, friends with the cops.
Hey, they stiffed us.
Cop goes, shouldn't have stiffed them.
Uh-huh.
Get the car back.
So this has happened.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So here's the fun one.
You better mind your fucking peas and cues, big guy.
Little index card, my job when I'm 9, 10, my brother, it's me and my brother.
We collect the $35 a week.
Little index cards, you know, Mrs. Ruggieri, Mrs.
you know, oh, you were met.
She brings them the 35.
I tuck it in the index card.
Is this cash check?
Cash, usually.
Or, here's the fun part when they don't have it.
And my dad had a pretty good reputation around on time.
He was a pretty fair guy.
He wasn't like, believe it or not, they are our good cards.
He would be like this.
You know the rule.
You have to go get something worth $35.
I got a question.
Do you then keep that or hold it until it's replaced with cash?
Usually they would always leave it.
So you would end up with a microwave.
Gray parakeets.
They were expected.
Champion dogs, stuff like weird stuff.
A Nintendo gun.
Yeah, yes.
Snap on tools, Oakley glasses.
What? Why?
Because they don't have the 35.
What do you mean why?
This is the buy here, pay here?
Yeah.
They don't pay in full.
No, no, no, they pay in chunks.
It's a perfect scenario.
$35.
Well, this is 1991.
Oh, I'm sorry.
What are you talking about that?
Should have been the 20th.
Right, 35, 50.
So you pay that a week.
They don't have the money.
They have to go get tools.
So we would always have, like, shit.
You'd always see shit.
That's good, though.
Starter jackets.
Did you have to then, like, fencing?
Oh, yeah, the off brand that no one wants,
like the fucking the giants when they blew, you know?
Oh, cool, I got a three XL giants jacket.
I'm 11, you know?
Wear it to school, I'll get it dry clean.
Orlando Magic were the big ones of those things, remember?
Same with Charlotte.
The Charlotte Hornets, yeah.
Somebody came up with a theory of why, like,
someone did the math as to why it was Charlotte.
Like, every dirt bag kid had a Charlotte one.
They made, there was something with the manufacturing.
Something just came out with that.
Grandmama, was it?
Grandmama was big.
Larry Johnson
Yeah, Larry Johnson was big.
Mugsy Boggs, didn't he play this?
Yes.
NBA Jam, that was the hottest.
But, yeah, no, I remember specifically getting started jackets
that no one gave a fuck about.
Sure.
And it was, like, the most embarrassing thing.
Like, oh, cool, I got the dolphins when they, like, post-Dan Marino.
Did you have a separate, did you have, like, a store room at the shop where you kept all this stuff?
No, we'd kind of, like, take it home.
I mean, it was like, you'd have, like, 80 cars in the street.
Uh-huh.
You know what I mean?
Like, so you'd sell.
So you're collecting 80 weekly paint in.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was a good racket.
It was a really good racket.
Would that usually be the payment, or would they say, here, take the blender, and I'll come back next week and I'll give you seven.
He just said, you don't know.
That's good.
We're good this week.
Next week, bring me the 35.
We're back to normal.
It was like a checkbox.
Like 20 boxes.
It's so trashy.
It was shit.
Didn't your dad want the actual money?
Of course.
But there was enough going around.
What's your starter jacket?
But I'm saying.
I remember my dad would brag like loosely.
He's like, I got 90 grand in the streets.
So, like, all those index cards were like, I could shut the fucking doors right now.
And just collect.
And just collect.
I don't have to do a thing.
I don't have to sell it, buy another car ever.
They caught that mailbox money.
90 grand.
Like, it was like $38 million.
That's, I mean, but dude, that's good, though.
Oh, yeah, it was a lot.
Holy shit.
Okay.
What was the family car?
Was the family car ever changing?
It was ever changing.
The three that stuck out was the 85 Lincoln Town Car, triple black.
What's triple black?
I mean?
Black Landau, Roof, black interior, black exterior.
That was a good one.
We're pretty proud of that one.
I bet you could sell a couple of cars.
You got the, you got the, yeah, he's got it in them.
I've done an unfortunate reality.
I'll get to that.
But the 84, which is the box, the box body.
It was right after they stopped looking like disco cars and they started.
Holy shit, dude.
Maybe it was 87.
That's what Paul Castellano got shot in.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was that one.
That, yeah.
That's a nice car.
It was a good car.
And then we had a 84 suburban barn door lifted.
That was, my dad was obsessed with.
K-bodied GMCs.
Yeah, that's an old-school suburb.
Those were cool, yeah.
The V-8s, we used to take those.
And we'd paint them. We had a painter that was, like, a friend of my dad's,
and we'd, like, paint them, and we'd modify them and buy shit for them.
What was your first car?
My first car was a 5-7 Dodge Durango, which, and I went to, like, a nice high school.
What year were we talking?
98.
Dude, when those Durangoes dropped, they were something fucking out.
That's weird.
The way it was shaped.
Yeah, it was, and it gave, they gave you a V8, basically a rear-wheel drive V8 Tardmobile.
And they were like, here you go, dummy.
Go rat this around a pole.
Yeah, exactly.
Go do, go race your friends in their BMWs because, like, with a mild tune, this thing's doing danger.
And I remember, like, I had a rich girlfriend in high school, and I remember her parents looking at my friend.
She had, like, an accord.
And they were looking at me, like, I walked in, they were living room with, like, my dick in my hands.
They were like, he's got a Durango.
Like, what parents to buy their kid?
It's like a single mom's car before it's a single mom's car before it's a single mom.
A Honda Accord, was it, was a hot, rich six car.
That was like a rich piece.
The green V6 was like the piece.
Yeah, it was nice.
I always say that, the Mitsubishi Eclipse.
The hot girl car.
They all had, it was the Accura RSX.
C, uh, they were like the tiny little coops.
The Accura, I think they were Accura RSX.
All the girls had those in our high school.
Yeah, they were, they ran.
That was a, an Accura is a, that's the best car you can buy.
Is that true?
I started fundamentally.
I sell new Accurus.
I sold a lot of Accurus.
And it was like an Accura customer has more, has enough money to buy the dealership, but you'd never know.
They look like computer engineers.
Yeah.
But they're like, you are a fucking dirtbag.
Because I want to get one.
I know.
I sold Lewis Gomez when I, he's like, what do I get?
I go, get a fucking Accur, Lewis, control your ego.
Get a goddamn Accurias.
I was like, I know you don't want to.
I know you want a fucking Ferrari.
I know you want a S class.
Get an Accura.
You drive a lot of miles.
Like, all right, all right.
Gets it loves it.
And Accurro is like the good friend.
I want an escalates.
I want that big new escalates.
It's so bad.
Accur is a good friend.
You hear that?
A good friend.
Never fuck you over.
He's not going to be the highlight of the party.
No one's running over to the accurate.
He'd be like, wow, Kevin, the new, the new TSX.
As long as that $35 is here, every fucking, does Lewis have to drive up to Rhode Island
to give you the money?
Yeah, he could.
He shows up with his kid's basketball.
This is a blue-nosed pit.
These are $2,000.
These are two tickets to Skang Fest.
Access.
Give them to your guy.
Shout out to Lewis.
I love it.
What was the grocery store growing up?
Stop and shop.
Very nice established.
Is that true?
Stop and shop?
And shaws.
Do you guys get shaws a lot?
No, I don't know what shawls is.
Shaws was closer to me.
It was orange shaws.
Stop and shop was when you got a little bit more bread.
Shaw's started to go down, go down hell fast.
Oh, is that the Osco's as well?
They probably got bought out by.
By Osco.
We know Joel Osco.
Chicago.
Yeah, very nice.
So your dad did well.
Yeah, it was very bipolar
It was like, you know, one year
You'd make that, the next year
Something bad would happen
Sure, similar tale here on Arje Garage
I got that very, very bad
One year you got like a used four wheeler for Christmas
Next year it was like, no presents this year
One time I lost like $20
My mom gave me like lunch money
I lost the 20 and she was like bawling her eyes out
And I was like, we're poor again
What the fuck happened?
Mom's like really beside herself over this 20
She's like, are you fucking kidding me?
And it's even sadder when she's wearing a Charlotte Hornet
Yeah, she's in her Milwaukee
Buck starter jacket
Crying her eyes out
Her Brewers
Starter jacket
Bill's Super Bowl t-shirt

oh wow Lumina which I just
I went back and re-bought, by the way.
Was it light blue?
No, I just bought a light blue one this year.
Yeah, yeah, I had the white one.
That's the one in my head, the light blue one.
Which you might know, the white ones had a paint.
They used, like, galvan ice deal, and the paint would chip off.
I don't know if you knew that.
The white luminous, the paint would just fall off of it.
GM got a deal on it from, yeah, some shit happened.
Like a true car salesman, he denies.
Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.
That quote was like that when he got here.
That was the assignment ice they put on it.
That was the other dealer.
I can't believe those guys did that to you, those motherfuckers.
How could they do that?
deal nick how about the uh the vacations when you're a kid what would you guys do where
would your pop take this is great we would go to a main and kick tires on real estate i never
went to disneyland i have a bit my stand-up about it that i never i never went to disneyland
and i'll save the reasons why i didn't go but we would go to main uh and my dad would give
us on thursday nights he would give us mLS listings you've seen an mLS listing before right like a
sheet a printout on a house like like the front page of a zillo is vacation you're a kid is this
why you have the show, I presume. This is why I'm
fucked up. My brother's a real estate agent. This is all I do.
I build how, you know, so
he would give us like a sheet of like 10 of them.
And he'd be like, first of all, only
like actual realtors get MLS. Like that's like,
that's like not for the public.
Where was he getting them from? He had like a guy.
Yeah. So, okay, where in Maine would you
stay? The shittiest place.
Scowhegan, Maine, Newport, Maine.
Places in Maine. Was it near water?
Somewhere. Not the good water, though.
What were you doing there?
Looking at houses. That is insane.
Never buying them.
My dad would ink these people into, like, thinking there's a whale coming to town.
There is a fucking whale from Providence with his two kids and his two kids' buddies.
A lot of cash.
His two kids' buddies.
They are going to, they are buying everything under the sun.
We were buying nothing.
Was that, did he actually think, was there like this, he might ever?
Was he actually looking or was it just you guys were just going to?
He, like, wears the shoes like a, like a psychopath, like going up there to buy the city.
Nick, I need you and your brother
to narrow down which one we're going to buy
by the morning. I know you have school tomorrow.
Here's the good news. I'm pulling you out
of school at 12 tomorrow. He would pull us
out of school on. You know, remember when you're a kid?
I got eyes on a two bedroom. Wait until you see? You're going to
plot. Yeah, but that's not vacation. In the middle
of the school year. It was the best vacation. That's awesome.
We would be snooping through people's shit, opening
their underwear, throwing their
stealing shit. Like, it's just me. Really? Oh, we would be
rifling through their stuff. Come out with pearly earrings.
These are mine.
Wow, what I want a story. This lady's got
my stuff.
Yeah, I'm wearing a wig.
I got her underwear on over my snowsuit.
Hey, by the way, you're out of cancer medicine lady.
Shit's getting me higher than a kite.
I'm nine.
Oh, fucked up.
Hold on.
And when I asked, what were you doing there?
Like, just as a pure vacation, why would you stay somewhere where there's not water
or anything like that?
So this was the focus.
Your dad was actually in his head was working.
We're going to, like, figure actual due business.
We found joy in it as a family to stay in a,
A decent, not a holiday inn with a pool indoor.
And then.
So, okay, let me down this day.
So you get to the holiday, you check into the holiday in.
We get out of school at 12.
Get out of school 12.
I'm leaving early, guys.
I'd love to sit here and have lunch.
My dad's actually outside.
I'm going to look at a bunch of real estate.
I'm closing on a couple properties in escrow right now.
The big dog up in Schaukegee.
How long would you go for?
We would go till Sunday night.
So, oh, just the weekend.
The weekend.
Okay.
But we did it like 14 times over two years.
That's a lot.
So we looked at like, 7,000 houses?
95.
Yeah, yeah, like, so we look at like six a weekend.
These guys would drive us around.
And I've had my ass kissed as a kid.
Oh, you'd be with the, with the realtor.
The realtor would be like, hey, buddy, what are you doing?
Like, trying to kiss my ass is, like, trying to get on my dad's good graces.
Like, you're going to play football up here?
We got a great football team.
And I'm like, yeah, like, sure.
Fucking dips shit.
Like, we're not buying a fucking thing.
Like, it's been two years.
My dad's not pulling the trigger.
Like, log cabins on the ocean, too cold.
This one, too many acres, too rough.
Two farmhouses falling down.
But it would be like,
extravagant like 63 acre farms 140 acre 370 acres could he have swung that in a world it was 90 grand
it was short money back in maine main was a shithole forever now it's like the best thing you know it was a
short short it was 80 grand 130 grand you know low money the house that i grew up in was probably
125 you know um and it was just in the 94 it was short you are a fucking you're too smart to be as
much of a dirt bag as you truly are oh i mean it wasn't much
fault they threw me into it this is how you get like a like a fucking
dr evil type character you know what i mean you steep them in a car dealership and let them
let them actually hang out with the adults he's fine he's with me starphone cup of black
coffee and a fucking eater going hey rick how you pay you got bamboozle how much you pay for

say what would you do anything in the summer like an actual vacation uh this was it that's that
Well, summertime, we had a...
Car's a cell, I guess.
Cape Cod was a thing.
When Cape Cod, we'd go to, like, Old Silver Beach.
My mom's parents or grandparents, they had a condo in Cape Cod that we would go to in Mashpee,
and then we'd go out there.
I'd go with my grandparents once for two weeks every third year.
And what was their grift?
What did you guys do?
Pretend like you were blind?
They were gypsies.
Kino.
My grandma was a varsity kino player.
Would your mom go on these trips?
The realtor, the main trip?
Oh, the whole family would go to the main.
Somebody to play the secretary.
Another $10,000 came in the day, Mr. Rochafoot.
Ma'am, there's no one on the phone.
I didn't see the...
She just got her fingers up to her.
She didn't put any quarters in the pay phone.
The guy's starting to get skeptical.
He's like, fuck, I've been being real nice
to this kid who's been calling me a fucking asshole behind my back.
Gold's up another 15%.
No, it's not.
I don't think this 14-year-old with the beard
is really a doctor.
I concur.
That's fucking awesome.
I love that.
I'm doing that with myself.
I'm doing that.
Kick tires on heavy.
Take him to 47th Street and try to buy a watch or something.
You know what I mean?
Just keep stroking on TV.
Two, he got a buddy who finds people on Facebook marketplace.
Get some beats them up on price down to like 35.
They're asking $400.
He gets them down to $35 because, nah, never mind.
I'm out.
He just likes beating him up for the sport of it.
Why not?
Honestly, I don't even like.
I used to do that in art in L.A.
That's really fun.
What?
Yeah, like paintings.
You're a psycho.
it's good to do
kick tires on real estate
okay kick tires on everything you really should
if you pay retails for suckers

there's Italian guy the other night was trying to make fun of me
I was at a bar and he's like you talk fast you

because you're good talker so they're probably
you I don't know but this one over here
they always separate they always yeah yeah they talk to you
about through the other guy
which one is you you your friend over here
yeah that stuff and he's like I started
in the line making $7.15 an hour.
I opened my phone, I go, what's $7 and $15 worth in 1970?
It was $56 an hour.
I said, what are you bragging?
Yeah, yeah.
Fuck out of my face.
Nice math problem, asshole.
But yeah, no, he wanted to make bread, and my dad was a cook.
Dad was a decent cook.
When we went broke, my aunt hired him as a cook.
Really?
Yeah.
What did she?
She ran a restaurant.
My aunt took a restaurant owner took a liking to her and gave her a job as a manager
at like 20.
Nice.
And she was running like the Bachi Club, which was a big Italian restaurant in our town.
Okay.
You had one, a family-style chicken restaurant in your town.
Supper club type.
No, not really.
And Bucca Depepepe, I guess.
I don't even know if that's local, though.
But that's a chain.
Yeah.
Why do you say chicken?
We do family-style chicken around.
It's a big deal.
I don't know what that means.
Like, just a lot of chicken on a plate.
Yeah, a lot of chicken.
You're really trying to church this up.
It's just a lot of chicken.
There you go, dumbass.
It's family style.
Eat off.
There you go, dummy.
You and your diabetes family.
Here you go.
I have some of that.
What kind of chicken?
So this is mostly bones.
Roasted chicken legs.
Just a lot of roasted chicken legs.
With rosemary and salt on it.
Who does that?
That's a big thing up in your town.
Right.
Dairy is a big deal.
Yep.
It's like a really thing.
I feel like you live like in the 40s.
Now it is or it was back then?
Still this day, Wright's Farm is probably one of the big.
I'm having a hard time understanding.
It's crazy.
It's, it's its own thing.
It's its own flavor.
It's been like that for a while.
It's like the armpit of New England.
So that's why I was like I can't fucking wait for this.
I mean, you have to come back once a month at this point.
We're barely scratching this.
Brick some of that fucking chicken.
Yeah, right?
You go there, and it's like a fucking human trough.
But it's like French fries, like oven roasted potatoes,
simple peni vodka, peni red sauce.
Uh-huh.
And chicken, that's it.
And it's like $42 all you can eat.
And you sit at a fucking picnic table filled with thousand poundsers.
Yeah.
And people are just hoovering this shit.
Like it's going somewhere.
Like it owes the money
Uh-huh
You know
So your aunt got a job there
Yeah
As the manager
Yeah
And they gave your dad a job
Yep
When
Nice
How old was your father
When he took his job
When did he go broke?
We went broke after the car
The car dealership
Had some little complications
With some
Taxes
Some wise guys
Okay
Oh really?
Yeah
I sold a truck
I thought you lost
The index cards
He got burned
By some
Some crime families
A whole load of cars
He was a good wholesaler
So
He was a
You know what a wholesaler
That's a whole other
Yeah
They go to the back of the dealership and they buy the use cars from the new car dealership.
That's what he would do, essentially.
He was pretty good at it.
His partner, Vinnie Ferrola, good guy, dead now.
But he was very good.
Doesn't sound natural?
Right.
He would drink Budweisers at 9 a.m. like this.
Oh, give me another one.
With me at, like, you know, 11.
You know, that was fair.
But they were pretty good at wholesaling cars, and they would run a pretty good at,
they would, like, run Subaru's to the Pacific Northwest.
They would run, like, convertible rear-wheel drives to Florida,
where every car worked, you know.
They'd buy things in Florida to ship them up here,
like pickup trucks don't sell in Florida.
Well, back in the day, they didn't.
So it was all like that.
They were pretty good at it.
The stuff that he knows is crazy.
Then they got burned.
You're saying that like we're sitting around the table?
How to use carl or dealership break room?
You know.
Guys, you know, they can't sell a tundra in fucking Florida to save their lives.
L.A. they don't buy fucking accuracy in Los Angeles.
The ego's too big.
So sold a couple of Toyota trucks of the Middle East.
You know what I mean?
50 cow on the back.
You see a bunch of Taliban guys in shamonics out of trucks.
Nice stuff too
Guns shoot straight
Oh my God
So he got ripped off
Then the
That just crashed
It just was like
All right
I'm jumping ship
And then I went and worked at
As the
It's basically a big banquet hall
Weddings
Yeah yeah
What's he do now if you don't mind me asking
General manager of a four dealership
There you go
That's a good job
Yeah
Tried to retire
I always say the retirement myth
For our fathers is crazy
None of them are ever going to retire
Mine's very much of the same
A lot of highs
High highs and low lows
And I just remember being, like, a couple of years ago being like, ah, that's never going to end.
No, you're going to, you're going to, yeah, I guess for sure.
I, I've realized that.
It would be like if, are your parents still together?
No.
No.
No.
It'd be like watching your dad pick women if he could.
And he's just, I've seen that, yeah.
He's just going down the same, like, he's like, these fucking Latinas, I love him.
And like, every third week, he's getting like a death threat.
And he's like, Dad, why do you do this to yourself?
He's like, you ever see their asses, though?
And it's like, you do this to yourself.
He's biting his hand.
You're a model.
I was like, God damn, damn.
So when did you sell cars?
So it wasn't, you weren't selling at your dad's dealership?
No, so I, no, I did when I did that a little.
I sold a few cars in my dad's dealership over the years.
Like just one, like old man needs help, get him the keys.
My dad would give me like $100 because the deal closed, which is one of those things.
But then I sold cars when, between college.
So I would go to college, I came back, and my dad had a job for me at a construction company making $20 an hour.
I work for a week.
The guy's like, here's your paycheck.
whoa this is nine bucks he's like you're a fucking kid and i was like yeah my dad said
you i was 20 bucks an hour what the fuck's going on here he's like i was like i'm doing that
for fucking nine bucks an hour i looked in the paper and i started selling fords uh when i was
like uh 18 nice and i sold fords at pride ford and um i loved it did you stay at college
at wagner all four years i uh no no no i quit after two okay yeah so then you're home i'm home
You're 18.
Yep.
I'm home.
I'm 18.
I'm selling cars during the summer.
Went back to school.
Um, kicked off campus.
For what?
Fighting.
Could you beat up?
Some fucking kid.
Pretty sure you won.
I did.
It was unfortunate.
The kid, I was in my...
It was unfortunate for him.
It sounds like...
I feel bad.
What school was this?
I was a steroid freak.
I was on steroids.
Were you?
Yeah, I was on, like, growth hormone and Winstrel and Test and DECA and all.
Because of football?
Yeah.
Oh, Jose can takeo?
Yeah, I know.
This is the thing about, there's nothing.
I had an internship at Balco Labs
But I had 95 home runs that year
It really mattered
On their football team
On their shit
You know 2 and 30 football team
That you know we lose like 90 to 0 90 to 0
Those dudes at that time
On a bad football team
Love steroids
They were the guys
They were the thing to do
They were keeping
Cereids in business
But if you got out of it
If you weren't playing anymore
Why'd you stay on the juice?
It was fun
All my cousins were doing it
Like it was around
What? Stero
You want to buy his car?
Yeah
You want some more chicken?
It was like Guido era.
It was like, oh, two, oh, three, oh, four, or five.
Jack, dudes were, that was, that was big.
It was like hair gel, roids.
Jim tan laundry.
Yeah, it looked, it was a good look on me.
I was like, this is fun for a little while.
Did you shave your back?
Did you have that steroid back?
No, I had like rage and crying.
I would be like, you don't get it.
Punching some of them all crying.
Punching walls and shit like that, like banging through steering wheels.
What school were you at that you got thrown out of?
Do you want to say?
I went to Wagner and then I got, I went to Wagner, got in the fight.
Oh, wow, the fight was at Wagner.
That's why he got kicked off.
So I came back to the campus with my football track suit on it, like seven in the morning.
We had like 5 a.m. workouts.
And I didn't have my ID on me, and the kid wouldn't let me in the building.
And I had, like, a test.
And I was like, dude, what the fuck, man?
Let me in the building.
Kids like, sorry, can't.
Like a little peckerhead kid.
And I was like, dude, I'm a fucking football player.
Like, give me a break.
It's off my room.
No one was around.
And I was like, I was kind of getting panicky, well, steroid.
So I just walked around the goal.
I got bad anxiety.
Yeah, I was like, ah.
I just, like, walked around the door, and I got, like, huge trouble for it.
And they're like, you have to work a week.
You can't disobey the rules or I'm getting yelled at.
And then I'm drunk a day later, the kid that did that's in the fucking cafeteria.
And he's like, you're drunk at the cafeteria?
Yeah.
Okay.
This guy's a little bit of my buddies.
I told me you, we got a frat party.
I'm like, I'm like, two of my buddies and they're like, hey, there's that fucking kid.
When did they start doing brunch in college cafeteria?
I'm like, I'm cut into my Benedict.
As I'm putting my locks with my dill.
These eggs are poached perfectly.
I'm living at mimosas?
There's that son of a bitch that...
And right as I was just about to do...
No.
And then the kid...
And he was kind of like a little bunker.
He's like, fuck you.
And I was like, fuck me.
And I was like, wham!
And I just, I pit him and it was pretty bad.
And, you know, and then I run out and the cops are running in.
I'm like, there's a fight in there.
And I'm like, I was like, oh.
And then I just like, I knew it was bad.
So I went and turned myself in.
I was like, hey, I got arrested.
I went to jail for two days.
Are you, Henry Hill?
Yeah, it was so bad.
No, take me to jail.
I was like, yep, the morality in me, you know, so then they just.
That's a good.
You do, it seems like you do have a good heart.
Oh, not a bad person.
I just have, you know, I had, you know, bouts of rage when you have a steroid.
So don't do steroids.
They're not good.
And the fucked up part about one double A schools or two schools, no one's going to the fucking league.
But everybody thinks they're going to the fucking league.
Yeah, the pressure is, it's like a pressure cooker, yeah.
It's their dads.
Yeah.
They're like, fucking bench riding baseball fathers that never played a fucking down in football.
They're like, go get him, son.
And I'm like, he was probably pretty good.
high school but I knew we all sucked and I was the only guy that was kind of like a
hater me and my buddy Aaron Winnick we're like we suck like we lose every game there's

Like a title registry guy.
Guys who sit in the dealership and go register cars for 40 bucks.
Okay.

This guy lived in one of the apartments.
He has no fucking money.
He looked like fucking Wayne Grove from Heath.

But it was Oceanfront in Warwick.
All right.
So hold on.
There's this guy, this relative, as you call him, as you call him, and dead beat.

I like oh that was a big deal that was
when you're in a not a New York and you had like
that's that might as Pauli D might as well be fucking Tom
Cruz literally and you're never going to get
that is the most famous person you'll ever come
in relative contact and my friend
Ron Barry's brother, Randy Barry, was on the real world.
And he would party with us all the time.
Who was he on the real world?
He was Randy from the real world San Diego.
And girls used their fucking pussies would melt off when they saw it.
Oh, I remember this guy was hot.
Dude.
Didn't he?
I've never seen people flip out more than a real world.
We'd be at like a PC bar Providence College, which is like hot Irish hockey girls that are kind of like with it.

Freckles kind of beat.
seven two to eight four
every one of my cousins

you know like kind of funny
really good sense of humor
does like physical humor
they drink a lot
yeah they run through doors and shit
chugs a beer in your face
they're like Chris Farley the girl
yeah yeah but they're kind of pretty
that's that's my type
so I and we'd go to PC with this guy
it was like it was literally like bringing like fucking
Spanish fly like it was like kicking a bottle
the Spanish fly on the ground in the bar and girls would be like oh my god Brad from the real
world like now my father said Brad came in I remember him clapping out a girl in the back of my
dad's my dad flipped out at a midlife crisis about a Hummer a red Hummer each two during this time

out in front and make sure it was in loose bills
if you're ever buying anything at a flea market
hold the money out front and say do you want it and make sure the last number is a nine wait what
why i'll give you an example say someone wants three hundred fifty dollars you offer them
instead of offering them 150 offer them 189 dollars make sure the last digit is high it's a stupid
thing what they'll be like really because if it was one 70 they would they would be like no no nine
i thought you meant to serial number on the bill no no no just like now i have a hundred nine
dollars then hold it in front of them do you want it and nobody says no it's like it's like a
nine point seven out of ten times you'll close that oh this guy's constantly closing well i have to
buy it uh i'll get into later but yeah you always have you're always doing those deals you'll you
you'll see that people whatever it's an old lady who gives a shit she fucking watch she watch you

He should have never been brokering mortgages, like with this brain and that much drugs.
Because he'll do it.
He could do a loan in his car.
Like, he was that good.
You know, he could be like, all right, sign here.
Like, he was like that, that kind of.
And he had, like, no rules.
You're going to make one of those great guys when they look back at your life

kill it. I'm going to have all. I'm going to have these two units. And the Lamar paid you
rent? The Lamar paid like $4,000 a year. It was something. It was like, $400 a month or something.
So like, all right, cool. We'll do this. He goes, all right, here's what we're going to do. You're

Jimmy it's fucking like this
and I'm fucking down like
six months goes by
I'm 21 years old
I'm still like fresh face
this is fucking insane
it's stupid it's stupid is what it is
Then I'm like hey listen Trista whatever her name was you need to fucking pay the rent here
I'm gonna call your fucking boyfriend like and then it comes to find out how her daughter has
the school uniform is she got a divorce from the richest guy strip club owner and his only
liability was to pay for school and she hammered him and then picked the most expensive
schools in state just to get him that's why she's a deadbeat she moves her sister in also a
stripper now I'm like you gotta be fucking kidding me so now I have two strippers living in I'm
living the other one. I'm trying to renovate a part. I'm doing this thing
where everybody who buys houses tries to renovate houses
too much. I'm ripping kitchens apart. I'm
doing bathrooms. I'm painting too much.
I'm fucking just doing too much
and I have no money. I'm living check to check
and uh... Do you know how
did you know how to do this construction? Yeah, a little
bit. How? How? My dad
did him growing up. I used to work as my dad. I was
like free cheap labor when I was 12, 13, 14, 15,
50, 60, 17, 18, 19, 19th. And I
had like consult. It was the union
delegate from 98 to 2002. What are you talking about?
Like, guys, they love to tell you how to do a job.
You know these guys.
They love to sit there.
How do I do this job?
Come over.
All right, I'll be by.
They tell you, like, give you the laundry list of shit you have to do.
And you're like, all right, it's all hell.
And you're like, fuck it, I'll do it.
So it was, like, the thing to do in, like, where I lived.
I hung out with a table saw?
Yeah, yeah.
You like group tools.
Like, I'll bring my X by, you bring your Y by.
And then it was just that.
But you, like, everybody, you do too much.
You know, you think you can go to IKEA and do kitchens and this and that thing.
It just all blew up my face.
I was a fucking moron.
Before you know what, the 50 grand's gone.
Two strippers are living next door.
I'm getting stiffed.
I'm collecting rent from fucking weird old men.
Actually, you know the guy...
So anyway, him, some weird professor from New Hampshire.
Yeah, so...
Wow, guys.
That was really great during the break.
Funny story during the break.
But anyway, like that guy would pay rent.
So this was fun.
And then it was just like that.
But then eventually, it just...
I had to evict her, and I had to go through an eviction.
That's like a nightmare process.
For everybody.
They think it's funny.
Like, the people who are getting evicted think it's, like, cool.
It's like, it's like when bums think they're cool for crossing the street slow.
And you want to, like, just floor it and turn them into, like, pancake batter.
I don't think I've ever had that.
No, you never seen one, like, go, like, get cool on you across street.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
You smell like piss.
Like, fuck, fuck you.
The bull's on you.
Did she trash the place before she left?
Yeah.
They always do.
Yeah.
They never just leave hat and hang.
Because it would never get to evils.
If they were like, hey, listen, just give me a month, and I'll get out of here.
Right, right.
It's never like, hey, listen, could you?
And I tried to work it all, like, six times and just it didn't.
You never got any flack from the boyfriend?
No.
Nah, he was, yeah, and I was like this, wow, big shot.
I can't even pay his, you know, $650, you know, whatever the hell he has to pay to do this.
Okay.
It was always like a little, because I'm 21.
They're like 60.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Your dad's like, there's the older generation.
Yeah, like, pay for it, big shot.
I'm 20.
Where's the money?
Like, come on, this is easy.
I could, did you think about it in hindsight?
Like, I could do that.
Did you ever go to him and say, hey, she's not paying the rent to the guy?
Yeah, I text him.
This is like right when texting Saturday, like, hey, Trish is not giving me the money, dude.
I need money.
I need my windstrel.
Yeah, she's going through a tough time.
And they always like, side for it.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Simping for a single mom.
So.
But then I just, then I just totally defunct on the house.
Total didn't pay it.
Then I was like that.
Then I realized it's over.
They took it.
You got foreclosed on.
So I called the bank
The other one, the one with the billboard
They were doing this thing called loan modifications
The other one with the billboard
I forgot about that one
Yeah, right
I have such a distinct picture in my head
If you had 300,000
They could say all right you owe me 200,000
That was like a thing
We're like, all right, we're going to erase 100
The day that one
I had a guy come buy me out for 300,000 on that one
My dad snagged all the money on that one
So there was 100,000 on top
There was 100, that took? Why?
How'd your dad get involved?
He was in a little bit of trouble
Okay
So he needed it.
He needed the bread.
Gotcha.
All right.
And I was like, whatever.
We didn't talk after that for a long time.
This one, no, loan mod.
Bank of America was like, no, we don't do that.
And I was like, all right, well.
I should talk to your voice to chase.
Yeah, now all of a sudden, you just don't talk.
Yeah, I know you're going to be chasing me for a little while.
You're chasing the keys for, and I was like, how long?
And then I talked to my boy, I was like, how long until, like, the cops come?
And they were like, probably a year.
I was like, cool.
I met my buddy Sam Hyde at the time.
And I was like, hey, you want to do stand up?
I was started to do stand up in the middle of all this.
It's always in like a fucking, you know what?
Let's make life easier and start trying to do stand-up comedy.
That would be cool.
So I went and I just did stand-up.
And I hated it.
I wanted to write for Saturday Live.
That was like my dream.
So I wrote a lot of sketches.
And then I wanted to do a website for my landscaping company in the middle of this.
And I had my buddy Sam who went to RISD with my cousin.
He was like, hey, he called me up.
And he's like, hey, do you still want to do comedy?
I was like, hell yeah.
I was like, why don't you move your shit into my house?
I have like, we don't have to pay rent.
We're going to foreclose in this house.
So we can, the electricity's on.
We're going to, like, crash this place out.
Move in, sound guys, moving.
So we had, like, two dudes, like, just people living in this out.
It looked like this.
This is what my living room looked like for, like, six months.
And all my friends who knew me, all my Guido friends are going to be like,
what the fuck are you doing here, Roachford?
This is weird.
You're like an artsy guy now.
And we were doing, like, weird videos.
Yeah, this is fucking, you guys are weirdos.
You're not going to do scams no more?
I got a pumping dump scheme I'm working on.
I got a tele dialer.
Can you believe it?
You can't know right when the iron's hot
Yeah, so then we just started making
Comedy videos
And then it was just I foreclosed on the house
And that was pretty much it
So you got a proper foreclosure on you
Yeah, oh yeah
No, my credit score went from like, you know, 700 to
It was like 401 or something
It was so low that my cousin was like
Dude, this is artfully bad
Like you are a criminal
This is like you have to work this
This is hard to get this low
Like at your age this is like
you should be impressed.
You are a fucking loser in the eye of the bank.
They should throw you through the front doors of the bank
by your, like, shirt collar.
Eddie Murphy and Beverly.
Yeah, just like, literally.
So you sell the one.
Your dad gets that money.
You deal with this.
Now I'm like, dead broke.
I had a Harley to my name that I sold for five years.
Why?
When did you get that?
I bought it.
One of my dad's friends gave me a deal on a Harley.
I bought it.
I think I found a problem.
Yeah.
That's all, yeah.
Did you know how to ride a motorcycle before that?
Yeah, kind of.
So I rode Harleys for like a half a year.
It was fun.
It was actually, I didn't like it that much.
I built, like, a Harley with, like, this old Hell's Angel friend of my dad's.
It was cool.
What?
It was cool.
Remember when, like, choppers?
Remember when, like, OCC was around?
Yeah.
And, like, Biker Buildoff and, like, uh, Detroit brothers and all those guys were building.
Man, nearly 2000s really got their hook in you, bro.
Oh, dude, it was bad.
Like, fucking Maxim magazine was fucking in my blood.
You know what I mean?
Got out of H.
I had to, like, drown my mother.
Jennifer Love You.
Yes.
What you was.
wouldn't have done for Jamie
Presley. Oh, my gosh. Jamie Presley. She's in Rhode Island right now
at Comic Con. I wanted to drive home last night. I'm like,
sorry, hon, we're getting a divorce. I'm going to go chase
Jamie Presley. I'm going to go take my shot at the convention.
Get him away from me. I'm like running out of her like Borat.
Pam Anderson putting a bag over.
Just running through. She was there.
I found out. I was like, what the fuck is she doing there?
I mean, you know. I think you're a genius.
No, I will. Like proper.
No, no.
This is all like, it was all like happenstance and believing.
A little bit of faith will go along with.
No, you're a super smart guy.
Obviously.
But used in the, I mean, you're very much of like.
Twisted and evil.
Yeah.
Remind me very much of my father, which is not a good.
I'm proud of you, son.
Listen, buddy.
No matter what your mom says, I'm proud of you.
Change your act.
It don't end well.
I just want you to know after I pass.
I just want to let you know.
I've always, I tell everybody.
You've been dead to me for years.
I should have called you.
Every night I pull your phone number up.
I stare at it and I just don't have the balls to call.
you. I'm so proud of you.
That's probably, probably dead on.
That's probably fucking dead on. You know that song from Uncle Buck?
I play that song, too.
He's more of an Uncle Cracker kind of guy.
Oh, cool.
I mean, okay, well, we're going to have to put, I mean,
there's obviously, you know, another
seven episodes. I think you should move in here, to be
honest with that. No, no, do not know.
We make sure you leave, and we're changing
the locks, even though he never even seen the keys.
No, I wish. Make sure that ring
camera's working. I'm fucking, first of all,
blown away. Yeah. I know. I mean, I'm sure everybody's got their fair share of shit. I think all
comedians got shit. I couldn't, I couldn't even keep up what the hell was going on. I promise you
there's no elaboration that is all unfortunately true. I don't have you want with it. All my hair's
gone. You know what I mean? Like, you know, it's just, there's a lot of evidence of like that. Do you
guys have bad tattoos? No, I never got, I never had the money for a bad tattoo. I'm sure you
have plenty. I'm just going to say, does you have a nice bad tattoo? No? Fat guy with a bad
I know you don't have one like stupid like the little devil man

What does she do?
She was a buyer for TJX, home goods.
That's the brain.
That's like the big brand.
So home goods, women's contemporaries and stuff like that.
Cool job.
Staying in hotels a lot.
We end up meeting in an antique store.
I end up selling antiques in the middle of that.
I end up buying another house at tax sale, which is another story.
for another time, but I sell antiques with her.
I open an antique store.
I say, listen, I'm a straight guy that sells antiques.
Find me a girlfriend to the little lady that runs in the store.
She goes, okay, no problem.
Sure, shit.
Week later, she's like, there's a girl over there.
Wait, you were buying antiques beforehand, before you met her.
Yeah.
Why?
I went to an auction by accident, an antiques auction.
I was looking online, and I was at a weird flea market,
and the guy goes, come to my auction on Mondays, you'll steal shit.
And I said, okay.
And then I went there, and I started stealing shit, like, just dollar for stuff.
And I was like, this is cool, this is cool, this is cool, this is cool.
and I started selling an antique small
and making like an extra 500 a week
and I started running yard sales
out in the front of my yard
that's always foreclosing on the other one
and I was making another 500, 22, three.
Yard sales?
Yard sales, Brotamont, Craigslist
and you can make like an extra nickel a week.
Anybody calls it a nickel?
Have you ever done anything normal?
I sold cars.
I like I sold cars a lot in the middle.
I sold for Accura.
I sold for Mercedes-Benz for three years.
I was a good Mercedes-Benz sale.
I sell 300 cars a year, you know?
I don't think there's anything
you probably can't do.
