I wake up at 5:30 in the morning, get to the Pawn Shop at six, work out for two hours, film until seven at night.
I would work at a 7-Eleven even if I was retired just so I could have something to do every day.
I think the No. 1 universal thing is that everybody's got that silly thing in their closet that they think could be worth money. There's always a chance you could turn on 'Pawn Stars' one day and that'd be on there.
We had a talk early on and decided we did not want to end up like the Hogans.
Our typical customer is a local guy who needs the money to get by for the week.
Hitachi Nail Guns were as good as gold in this city for years. I had 300 on pawn, and then when they stopped building houses in Vegas I wound up with 300 Hitachi Nail Guns that I can't give away.

I box 12 rounds a day five days a week.
I'm not a cook at all, but I wanted to have a house with a really nice kitchen.
I used to be 400 pounds.
I put urinals in all my houses. They save marriages.
I never thought I would downgrade into a 4,000-square-foot house. It took me about two months to find places to put everything.
