That was the same sales show I learned that another sales rep is a working actor in LA. She used a different name as a sales rep. It's good money and you get to travel. Beats waiting tables?

As I look for the company's newest glass products (highly recommend glass toys), the sales rep is on his phone. Then I hear him talking about his new gig at Smashmouth to his friend. That was 2 or 3 years ago. I wonder if he still hawks dils on the side.

This was when I was still running Bawdy Bookworms. I'd forgotten about it as I walked the sales floor. So many cool new adult toys to look at! Then I stepped into the booth carrying glass dildos

Thien-Kim Lam (she/her) @msthienkim.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Someone at the bar mentioned he was working at the sales show but I didn't believe them. Why the hell would the lead singer of Smashmouth be selling dildos?
