It's like crazy American dream type stuff.

Everybody's excited.

And Harvey Weinstein rolls into the bar one night while me and the guys are drinking in his big black limousine.

And he's like, basically, Troy, I know you're a blue collar guy and you haven't really made any real money.

But like, you know, this business, what are you going to do with the dough?

So I say, like, I love this bar, so I'm thinking of investing in the bar.

He's like, I'll buy it for you.

We'll split it 50-50.

Boom, we make the deal with Miramax.

I go with that.

24.

So you've got to be out of your mind.

Out of my mind.

Yeah.

The most I've made in my life was $11,500 in one year.

Right.

Just working as a, you know, shit labor.

All right, so now at this point, you know, we make the deal, and suddenly I'm on the cover of USA Today, blue-collar kid done good, Harvey Weinstein buys a guy a bar, right?

My own old man, my father's calling me up, oh, shit, I had no idea, I thought you were bullshitting me.

But he's, you know, he gets to USA Today on his doorstep, and there's his son.
