“personal reasons”
being shitcanned chief those reasons.
A real life ma & pa shop. Awesoooome!
Will Ben Stiller be consulting for them?
The spitefulness of the anon comments reflect more on the people who wrote them than those they’re aimed at . Simply small minded crap
Honestly , these two are related to me and are two of the most hard working people I know. Bid & Dean are amazing at what they do and are able to achieve everything in their lives and careers. People who have previously commented clearly do not know anything about the people and should not judge them for what an article says about them. Lesson : Don’t judge .
