Meanwhile we have the grumpy-ass Old Man, who is only their to insult his sons (which is funny?), Corey the bastard child (he was actually born out of wedlock) who's as useful as a white crayon. And retard Chumlee who somehow still has a job. They've been doing this for 7 years and somehow is still on air.
