MAN, those TWO GUYS, DON'T KNOW how much they FUC'D UP a GREAT THING. This show was SOO AWESOME and FUNNY. I wish that ONE DAY they could REALIZE WHAT THEY HAD, and SQUASH their BULLSHIT ISSUES with each other and get BACK TOGETHER to bring the show back and BETTER THAN EVER.....
Maaaan, I started crying laughin @ "This n*cka trippin" Lmaoo aka Graveyard of Kirby's LOL
the kirby story had me in tears! I remember my baby sis attempted to do that, she was adamant about making that money. after a few days she wanted to give up, but moms wasnt having it. i forgot what the end result was for that job for her, but I'm confident it ended the way that billy's and d'lai's did. Love y'all! Thanks for making ya girl crack da hell up!
They got me to with 500 week was a lot back then
Bruh he ain’t lying, dats the first thing they tell u!!!! The Kirby sells itself. 😆😆😆😆😂😂

that story TELLS itself!
hoorah......hahaha

that 32 oz steak is hilarious if you know how big that is,ol boy was flexin hard.
Joop and Fahrenheit. Classic Throwbacks! LOLOL
Fn Dlai with these stories....Kirby sells itself...LMAO
Not to start a "me, too" movement about the Kirby experience, but,...me, too!
Back, summer of '75, between my junior and senior years of high school, I trained & did door-to-door sales of the Kirby Classic Omega, in Houston, TX. I forget the exact location, because, I actually lived in Tulsa, OK., but, spent my summers in Houston, with my father (we lived on Tidewater, I remember, within eyesight of the Astrodome, near a Madison High School, I think).
That's also when I learned that some folks are born natural sellers, and, the rest of us aren't. I could gain entrance to the homes, do the excellent presentation & all, but, like you said, when I told 'em how much it was gonna cost, I already knew what time it was...hell, of COURSE, EVERYBODY that saw it demonstrated wanted it. And, of course, NOBODY is sitting around, just waiting on you to come to their door, selling them something that costs more than some of the vehicles they're driving, either.
I was a high-school kid, so, I wasn't ruthless enough to sweat blood out of a rock, but, I got to watch one of the best to ever do it do his thing. Our lead would ride around the neighborhood, while we were dispersed throughout, and, at a certain point in the presentation, we would put the box outside, by the curb, as a signal (that we were wrapping it up/come do your thing). He'd come in, explaining that it was his job to get an evaluation on how well "his trainees" had performed, but, of course, his true purpose was to close the sale...and, this s.o.b. was an evil master at it.
I saw women in tears, insisting that there was no way that they could afford it...all, while still signing a purchase agreement, and, plotting how they were gonna hide the purchase from their husband, until they could better justify it. He was the lead for a reason, too---I rarely witnessed him miss a sale.
My father was dead-set against me doing it, too...only, he insisted that I get a job, and, he wouldn't let me do any of the other available jobs that kids my age could get. It has gotten so bad, at one point, that I was living with the boss/owner. My dad threw me out, they took me in.
They had me, the lead, him & his wife living there, just adjacent to the shop. Every night, after work, we'd have dinner, then, the lead would take me, and, we'd hit strip joints, and he'd drink. This was back then, so, drinking & driving was just something that everybody did, no big deal. I was under-age, but, we'd lie. He worked hard and played hard, drank hard, shot a lot of pool, played with a lot of women.
A couple of weeks later, my father made me come home, though. So,...didn't make any much money, myself, that summer, but, did a whole lot of growing up, learning. I've never regretted it.
"A violent assault." I fell down the stairs, laughin.
"How violent"?
......A violent assault
