I’m pretty sure his podcast is available everywhere. I usually watch on YouTube or listen on Spotify, but I’m sure it’s on Apple podcasts as well.

I’d love to sit and listen to LF’s podcast, but how can you all stay awake? He’s so monotone and robotic it’s hard to pay attention.

Barry was killed as much by George Bush Sr, as anyone else. Barry was pissed off the CIA wouldn’t take care of the Louisiana problem like they promised and was threatening to write a book with some very interesting photos.

They decided that Barry was too much of a liability at that point and he was hung out to dry, and easy target.

If you watch Cocaine cowboys they actually talk about the hit in detail, as they tried to get the Florida guy to do it but he refused saying whoever did it would get caught and they did.

Went down the rabbit hole on Roger Reaves. The connection between the Clintons and the drug trade with CIA backing probably explains a lot of the rot we have in the highest levels and the length of the kill list they have built.

Lords of Discipline? Maybe the guy is a Pat Conroy fan.

I always listen to podcasts while multitasking (driving, dishes, cooking, laundry, exercising, etc.). It’s impossible for me to sit still and listen to or watch a podcast (Lex’s or otherwise)

My favorite way to listen to Lex’s podcast is to turn it on during a long drive.

ETA: the guests are what make the show. Lex does a great job putting guests at ease and asking thoughtful, detailed questions. The guests do most of the talking, so I don’t find the interviews boring or lulling

It means "Love ol' Dragon".

I believe that's Dragon's brother. Who's Dragon, you might ask?

Well...



Oh, and if you can give Smoke a ride or maybe let him crash on your couch a couple of days, he'll give you some ink for free.

I remember the judge sending him to the Salvation Army in the local BR news. Three weeks later they killed him. I was at LSU at the time and even a dumb college student like me at the time could figure out it was a setup.

Side note: I met Barry Seal Jr. at a party one night. Seemed like a nice guy.

Judge Bardwell I think.

Went to school with his coke head son.

ETA: Actually I think Bardwell was the US attorney.

The Hon. John Parker sentenced Barry
But he further prohibited Barry from hiring his own armed bodyguards and he could not possess.
Seemed like tying a sheep to a post in the jungle.
