TMZ reported on the injuries Barry Weiss and his friend, Jamie Robinson, sustained in 2019. The "Storage Wars" star reportedly suffered chest and leg trauma from riding motorcycles down a street when a car pulled out in front of them, causing both motorcyclists to run into it. Both men ended up in rough shape, but Barry required a three-month hospital stay to recover. The news story made many believe he hadn't survived, but he made it through and soon got a job at the Sherwood Valley Casino in Northern California. 

But it didn't take long for the siren call of "Storage Wars" to entice Barry back. In a 2017 video interview posted on YouTube, Barry admitted that he left the show after a few seasons because he wanted to exit the series while it was still popular. Even then, he held a flame for the reality series and even mentioned how he enjoyed starring on the series.

A few years later, Barry would make his grand return to "Storage Wars" in style. A trailer for "Storage Wars" Season 14 on YouTube sees Barry pull up in a black 1939 Lincoln Zephyr. It then cuts to him as a talking head, where he cheekily asks, "Did you miss me?" Since his return, Barry has brought his signature wise-cracking style to the series without missing a beat. Even though he's only appeared in six seasons as of this writing, he encapsulates everything "Storage Wars" is about.
