The sell wasn't the point after someone wouldn't bite on the pitch.

Cocaine was abundant and used heavily by the sales teams.

Once sold 2 sets of speakers to Calvin Williams for $1200.

His check fucking bounced. We weren't supposed to accept checks. But Calvin was an Eagles wide receiver at the time so we thought fuck it. Good times. Lol.
