Hard-partying Episcopal Priest Gregory Malia was popular in New York nightclubs, what with his $17,000 tips and all. In Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — they have a nightclub! — he was just weird.

Malia is from Pennsylvania. And apparently he liked to try and show off in the vicinity of his hometown. A baffled DJ at "Evolution" remembered one such night for the Daily News,

Greg came in with a group of four older women, who approached the deejay booth and asked him to put on a Rihanna song. One girl said Greg would take ‘very good care’ of the deejay if he helped them out. We thought that was odd.

He was presumably happy after the $1,000 tip, though. Although still confused. Rihanna? Really?
