In one of the earlier seasons my mom's friend was on the show it was about him having to sell his grandpas coin collection but in reality the guy walked in to check out the store and the camera crew offered for him to be on an episode and they gave him a small script to read and after it he got a free shirt, that's what great about living in Vegas

Here’s my Pawn Stars story. Me and my dad went there to sell an original Picasso drawing (yes, it was an original). They directed us to Brett Maly, their art expert. He has a studio just outside of town, and he really is the sweetest guy. He was able to authenticate the drawing for us, but told us that it was just a single piece of a much larger collection, and if we had the other pieces, it would be worth a fortune, but as is, the drawing was worth little more than $200. We ended up selling it at the shop for about the same price and used to money for food as gas for the return trip home. The whole time we were there, we never interacted with anyone on the show. There’s actually a large tunnel vision-like wall when you enter that looks like something painted in a mental asylum. It repeatedly warns you not to take pictures or videos of anything. They don’t want anyone to know that the show is just a show and that you won’t actually be dealing with the owners. When we did sell the drawing, the guy mentioned that if it was worth more that we could have been asked to appear on the show, but that didn’t happen.

Edit: I can't find a link to just the segment my cousin was in, but the episode is called "A Show About Nothing" from season 17. Basically, my cousin bought Patsy Cline's first record contract from a third-party vendor for like $100, got ahold of the producers of the show, and they flew him out to Vegas to be on the show. The contract ended up being a reprint that the record label would send to radio stations to be put on display -- which is still pretty neat, and it's for sure a collector's item, but it wasn't THE original contract so it's worth considerably less money. My cousin was on Pawn Stars, and it was sooooooo fake. They film on a sound stage that's just a replica of the actual pawn shop, none of the guys know anything about any of the items, the producers just give them notes about whatever it is they're looking at right before filming, the producers also decide when the "experts" are going to be brought in. I'll find the link and add it to this comment. He dealt with Rick specifically and said the dude was a total asshole before and after filming.

Someone PLEASE invent a soundboard of every time Rick has laughed on this show.

Customer- “I have a lowland streaked tenrac from Madasgar. I got it at a garage sale, and I need the cash so I’d like to see what I can get for it.” Rick- “Okay I’ve got a buddy of mine that specializes in lowland streaked tenracs from Madagascar, let me give him a call.”

Fun fact. The expert "friends" don't get paid to be on the show.

Pawn Stars is basically modern Antique Roadshow. People just come on to see what their old shit is worth

Rick's laughing is mostly just being kind and charismatic to the seller and lightens up the mood. He has a delicate dance to lowering the expectation of the price and becoming friendly with the seller so they feel ok with parting with their items for less than they're worth.

You left out the people who don't understand how pawn shops work - that if the expert says it's worth $20, the pawn shop won't give YOU $20. The pawn shop is going to try to sell it for $20. It wouldn't be much of a business if they gave you $20 and then tried to sell the thing for $20 later.

Im actually a Vegas local. The pawn shop has a ridiculous line to get in due to the fame.

@@froggywithaheart The Discovery Channel is no longer for learning. Same with TLC. TV got messed up. I was born in '91. National Geographic is the next to lose it and start making fake reality shows. They already have. It's horrible. Kids just watch tiktok now and have 15 second attention spans. I hate where it's all going.

~ 90% of the trivia answers are C. I grew up watching this and I used to always wow my parents with how many random facts I knew when these trivia questions came up. Little did they know, I just figured out it was almost always C and just always guessed C.

The joke about that dude being Rick’s unfinished clone

“This is a fairly niche item so it can end up taking up space in my showroom for years just to sell for $200 if I’m lucky” “That’s understandable, but this piece means a lot to me, so how about $325”

Yo, we need a storytime about your trip to American Pickers!

Some guy from that show was in my register line at PetSmart in Davenport, IA. I don't remember which of the dudes it was, but he was really brusque and unpleasant, and seemingly in a huge rush. The customer next in line said to me, "Hey, do you know who that was?" I told him I had no idea. "He's Blah-Blah from 'American Pickers.'" I had heard of the show, but never watched a full minute of it, so I was understandably unimpressed. Judging from the dick way this guy was to me, I have no interest in watching it in the future. I honestly didn't even know they were in Iowa!

Just got home from a 10 hour shift to see you just uploaded! I love your videos, you're one of the funniest commentators

The funnier customers are the ones that bought some junk at a garage sale for $2, and get offered $40 at the pawnshop.

One thing I have learn from watching this show is to stay away from that pawn store if I am trying to sell something.

The show I associate the most with the History Channel these days is Ancient Aliens and Monster Quest.

Chris I found your channel maybe 2 weeks ago and you’ve gained 15,000 subscribers in two weeks!🎉 Good for you! I really appreciate you taking the time to cut and comment on the unhinged reality tv of the 2000s. I’m sure you could get a lot of content out of made that used to be on mtv.

Let’s get you to 200k subs!! Been a fan since 20k love to see how much you’ve grown man!

2:45 Chumlee actually has a really broad knowledge base for comic books, trading cards, sneakers and toys.

@@chuckschillingvideos haha fat man likes toys what a nerd aside, in a real business that isn't fake reality tv having an eye for those things could be useful, especially since the generation where those things really started firing off is at the point where possessions are considered valuable.

Capping off an arduous week of work with a Chris James upload on Pawn Stars... big dub😅 You should totally review a show called hardcore pawn that aired around the same time as this.

That was a much better show!

I once watched a pawn stars show where Rick tries to get people from other shows to go to Mount Rushmore and they all make fun of him. This is on the history channel. The history channel. Granted Mount Rushmore isn't necessarily historic but it is at least historically themed I guess and they didn't want to go and they made fun of him for it and it was the history channel.

They no longer film in the shop. They built a studio that looks like the shop someplace on the property. You can tell if you look at the front door. In the old episodes you can see cars driving by. Not in the newer episodes. But they no longer bother to have extras pretending to be customers. It’s really obvious

apparently all their 'experts' were paid off, and many were not actually even experts in their field, just "random guy who collects comics" or whatever.

Dude this is the 3rd day of wanting you to just do more episode on mountain monsters

Was looking forward to this episode all day lol I watched them religiously growing up, so it was nice hearing what we all been thinking for years 😂

Your videos always make me genuinely laugh so hard lol. Please never stop doing this or your humor. It’s great. We love.

Pawn Stars is also weird because Rick would spend $500k on an item yet not spend 600k on others, like pokemon shoes or Jordans

Thank you!!! Love this show!! Hardcore Pawn had even crazier people!!! 😂

I work at a pawn shop and I am loving this! 😂

I'd say location would play a lot into what you might get? Like here on the strip (with the cameras) you're gonna get some really cool stuff.. But I'm guessing if you're somewhere more rural it'd be boring UNTIL you get something cool. Seems like it'd be a good place to learn a few life lessons along the way.. Lots of interesting people coming in and lots of stories.

Finally a new video lol. Bro I’ve rewatched all your videos daily 😂💀 i appreciate everything you do to make us laugh

I went there in high school. No one from the show was there. The shop is actually very very tiny. Come to find out they shut down the shop and only let certain people in while taping the episodes.

Can i just say Chris looks really nice in greens, that sweater is freaking adorable, and the gold chain really compliments it. go off!

Ahaha the " 300 year old" old man died a few years ago 😅

“It’s just like test driving a car, check the gauges, probably fire bomb a T.j.Maxx, standard stuff.” 🤣 I can’t, I can’t!

The old man died years ago. The show isn't even filmed in the actual shop it's filmed in a twin shop, and you won't see any of them. Chumlee is actually richer than everyone there, he's also probably the most entertaining. I think that's why he's there. Also the experts are hired by the show. They are not actually "friends".

Loved this video Chris, I had actually forgotten that Pawn Stars was even a thing (easy to do lol). However the episode that I do sort of remember had a guy trying to sell them a .. I think it was a 6 story mechanical dinosaur or something, he said they could 'rent it out' for 25K a day 🤨 I'm sure someone knows the episode I'm talking about lol.
