77 – Powdered Sugar Slander – Pablo Escobar


January 17, 2023

About the Episode

Blow. The Big C. Snow. Nose Candy. Cocaine. It makes the world go round. And, it’s somehow more useful than it’s close cousin, powdered sugar.

This week, Colin tells the story of Colombian drug lord and narcoterrorist Pablo Escobar while Sierra tries to figure out if there’s dead bodies under a U.S. highway. Join us as we discuss the mechanics of bullfighting, drug smuggling 101, and whether or not you need a bike shop to have a career in crime.
