I was scrolling through the Dish guide the other day and saw Vice was showing a series called "Balls Deep." Yeah that caused a double-take...
I kinda thought that anyone watching the show would have figured out by now that it's 100% scripted bullcrap. I guess I should never underestimate the apathy of the American broadcast audience.

What a great read. I saw two wrong statements though.
"If an attorney can't be afforded, one is provided for them"- Not where I live. It goes county by county. I have an ex who still gets bills from a court-appointed defense attorney for $300, after a case she did no work at all and basically stood there and asked my ex what she wanted to do. I could've given her better representation, and I'm a idiot.
"Defense attorneys are saints"- LOLOLOL… no they aren't. Having been around lots of them, there are those who will trade sex for services, or take a car as payment. I know they are the rare cases, but they're out there.

I highly doubt Chumlee is a dealer. The guy has money and a drug addiction, he probably buys meth for a month at a time. Buying meth isn't like buying marijuana, you do not get an ounce in one bag unless you are a dealer. You would get a fistful of small bags.
Don't you guys watch Breaking Bad?

You certainly don't public defend out of greed. Don't you watch Better Call Saul! J/k.
Watching the show, you think Chumlee has an IQ in the minus numbers, until he dickers with a customer over something they brought in. He clearly knows more than they show most of the time.
Which doesn't mean he isn't an idiot goofball.

Most defense attorneys are not public defenders. And the high profile ones do not work for peanuts. OJ paid the Dream Team over $5 million.
That's assuming you're buying from a street dealer. I would think if somebody was using that much, they'd be connected higher up the chain

I wouldn't. I do not know if you're into Megadeth but I suggest reading some of Dave's stories about scoring drugs. He would drive around in, I believe, his Mercedes trying to score drugs from street dealers. Even then, you'd have to be connected to a mid-level dealer to get it without pre-packaging.
Another thing could be that Chumlee likes to collect paraphernalia. Each pipe with residue is a charge or two.
I also had no idea they hired a girl. Was this recently?

He was cruising around L.A.
Even then, celebrities/rich people on tour get their drugs sent Fedex from their hometown dealer. Don't you listen to Mitch Hedberg?
Believe me when I say that that's an anomaly and Dave is a dummy stupid! It isn't at all difficult to score larger amounts of non-pre-packaged drugs.
She was on the show in 2012-2013.
I remember learning somewhere that the actual pawn shop where they do business is next door. The shop on the show is apparently really sort of a museum. BTW, Pat the NES Punk was on Pawn Stars, and he said that all of the haggling was real, so that at least gives me a little faith in "Reality" TV actually having some reality.
With that said, I always found Pawn Stars boring. I prefer the pawn store show with the hot chick who's always fighting with her brother.
