This is one of many flashback episodes. This time, Rob is meeting with an accountant and reviewing his expenses to determine what is and what is not deductible. A yearly $35 expense is one that stumps the accountant and Rob explains to him what this is all about in a lengthy flashback.
It seems the Petries and Helpers were BOTH looking to move into a bigger house. The market is poor and their choices are poor as a result. The BEST house is one whose basement is about 1/3 obstructed by a HUGE boulder...and that's the best one! The Petries and Helpers don't want the home and both will continue looking. So HOW does all this equate to Rob paying Jerry $35 each year? Watch the show and find out for yourself.
This is a decent episode...not bad, not good but enjoyable. However, there is a HUGE continuity problem with this episode. The Petries ended up getting the house with the rock in the basement...one where they couldn't physically remove the rock. Yet in season two's "Hustling the Hustler", you see the Petries have a finished basement with a pool table...and no giant rock.
