I don't see any reason why Drexel would feel the need to answer this nonsense to a bad gimmick on the weekend, and I don't think his partners are going to do a show that he doesn't feel like doing. None of this makes any sense. A $100 bucks for pain pills? Pain pill, or one or two, unless we are talking about something small like Vicodin, which you should have a shitload of if terminally ill. Also his name is known here, why would he talk about the procurement of narcotics on the web or radio? And why bring gossip into the conversation of whether he scammed you?
You have to look at this from the other perspective. You came into town, flashed money, said you were ill, and asked favors. They don't know you from Adam. Perhaps he strung you along rather than being impolite. Also, they are not sure if the guy who pretends every week to be something he's not is truly telling the truth on another matter. Add in that guys who have came into town and flashed cash in an obvious manner have often proved troublesome, and may have sent up warning flags. I mean, you're trying to book strange props that result in 500k payouts right after you met them. Even if you paid up front, middling that situation between two parties can become touchy. They all saw you had a roll of cash, and that type of ostentatious behavior often spells scam. I'm not saying you are, but I have to imagine Druff and Brandon both thought, here we go again.
