Once Pop got a heart attack, and they needed 50000 dollars to start his treatment, so they started working in a cinema.
Their manager was too rude, and both the friends together got him fired. The other workers suggested they start their own business. They opened a business dirty work, that was a revenge hire business. Mitch started liking a girl who used to work with a car dealer, and they once insulted him live on a TV channel. And after this act, they gained a lot of popularity. Cole (a property dealer) once contacted them to destroy his flat and promised to pay for Pop’s treatment.
