Hardcore Pawn - "Professor Les" - Monday Feb. 23, at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT)

Hardcore Pawn: Meet the Gold family. As owners of Detroit's biggest pawn shop, "American Jewelry and Loan," they've bought and sold things you can't begin to imagine! From tricked out custom cars to a fake arm movie prop; platinum watches and the latest in fur fashion, every day brings new customers and new opportunities. But can the Golds find new ways to keep the business thriving? And, on top of that, can Les Gold manage his niece Karen and his kids, Seth and Ashley, who are the definition of "sibling rivalry?" Welcome to the world of Hardcore Pawn!

Tonight, when Les gets a last-minute invite to give a lecture at a local business school, Seth takes the pressure off by writing his speech. Can Les pull it off? Or will Seth's words translate into a disaster? Plus, Ashley and Bobby J go to war over a collection of Nerf guns, and negotiations hit a fever pitch when a wannabe ventriloquist walks in with a dummy that bears a striking resemblance to one of the Golds.
