Episode 52: goRIA with Johnny Hilbrant (aka "The PE Guy")

In this satirical episode of goRIA, Chuck goes toe-to-toe with the one and only PE Guy — the viral finance parody persona who’s built a cult following roasting private equity bros and bragging about his role, his wifey, and “it’s decent” deal flow. It starts off civil enough — a few laughs about zip codes, Lake Como vacations, and children's naming conventions... but soon The PE Guy launches his most ambitious pitch yet: “Chuck, sell Sovereign Financial to my PE shop.” Spoiler alert: Chuck holds firm. (Because no amount of humblebrags about substantial composite metrics can sway a fiduciary.) Expect: 🔥 Deadpan satire that hits every PE-world trope 🤣 Chuck trying — and failing — to keep a straight face 💼 A mock negotiation that’s more comedy than capital 🎧 And one unforgettable line: “Due to my role…” (you’ll be saying it for days) If you’ve ever wondered what happens when private equity swagger meets fiduciary skepticism, this episode delivers — with plenty of laughs and just the right amount of decent chaos.
