1. (noun) A scripted show featuring a bald
grease ball scam artist with the rest of his overweight gang. They're known for using one of two techniques to low ball every customer: If it's not very valuable, tell them it's not very valuable and no one else will buy it.
Occasionally, laugh at their asking price to
humiliate them. If it's very valuable, tell them they gotta make a profit
and then laugh their way down to a completely unfair price. Also infamous for their terrible morals and scripted jokes.
2. (verb) To rip someone off.
1. "So today, someone came in with what I confirmed to be among the possessions of
Jesus Christ that show high
possibility of the existence of God. It was
super cool, and I needed to get it off him."
Nick: "So I'd like $80,000,000"
Rick: <laugh> "Yeah sorry best I can do is $10, I mean, I gotta make a profit"
Nick: "That's a little low"
Rick: <laugh> "No one else will buy it buddy"
"I was super bummed I couldn't get the deal, but maybe he'll come back knowing no one else will buy it."
