I don't think we need to clap, do you? I guess not. I'm just so used to it. Enter live. Here we are. Andy Frasca's World Tame podcast. I'm Andy Frasco. I join the cartel.

I'm still out here. You better be careful what you say about the cartel. Dude, I was thinking that. Like, I shouldn't be talking about those stories about the cartel. No. Well, that was in the news. Yeah. I got my co-host, Nick here on location as well, technically.

Where are you, Nick? I'm at the color. Red House. People are, I'm getting my bathroom retiled right now, so I can't be there. You look like you're like, you look like you're like working a nine to five right now. It was my Bolo? My Yacht Club Bolo?

Man, what if you get killed by the cartel? I mean, it probably good for our legacy. No, I mean, if you get killed by the cartel, I'm going to Erica Kirk the shit out of this podcast so hard. It's going to be a lot of this podcast so hard. It's going to be like a motley crew concert. It's going to have fucking Trey and Mike Gordon

jumping on trampolines. I'll be coming out. Tommy Lee upside down on the drum set. Dude, you'll have a gold plate at Bolo, dude. Two watches. I'm going to Eric Kirk the fuck out of you, dude. I have no shame. And you would do the same to me, I hope.

Instead of JD Vance, like, instead of J.D. Vance supporting you, it's like, you know, Dave Schools or fucking bass sticks. Torin Daniels. Crazy. A lot of that shit's very hyped up. It's peaceful here Like look at this place

You want to see some shit Yeah I do actually I own a hotel This is crazy Look at this Yeah I think you're the only one That's the best Oh my God

Right It's like you're in Narcos Dude I feel like I'm in Narcos I have a pool I had never even been in there A pool that close to the You haven't been in the pool yet No I don't like chlorine

It fucks from my hair Oh See I like I'm the opposite of you I prefer pool to the ocean I don't like the ocean weirds me out There's too many organisms. Dude.

Oh, dude. The great thing, this is, like, the reason why people get it out here is the surf in there. Don't it look tan? Don't it look tan? Yeah, you're pretty tan right now. It's probably been in the sun for... Every day. But there's also...

This is, like, the path for the blue whales. Oh, yeah. Whales jumping and shit. My grandma used to volunteer with them in Palace Veritas when I was a kid. I had a whale watch. I feel like I'm going through a midlife crisis, Nick. More like a two-thirds life crisis. Two-thirds life crisis.

The way you dream. What are you up to? I've been just talking to people in Spanish the whole fucking time. Give me something. What's going on in Denver? How is your Spanish? It's not good. I'm an idiot.

I see mine is in Spanish. Yeah, but being around people that actually speak, it's like way better than like some old white lady who went to Spain once who loves Enrique and Glesias. It is fun, though, to have like Spanish employees who kind of teach me and they're really cool. and like, well, they're Mexican. Mexicans are like, Mexicans are so nice.

I know, they're the best. They're also, they have great sense of humor, I think. Are you saying? They're so funny, and they're so sweet

and like, I don't get, smoking the sig. Dude, I had smoke it. It's my own hotel. I can do what the fuck I want. You gotta come,

dude, bring Julie, dude, this is, it's amazing here. When the cartel stuff dies down, I'll come down there. They're already on my ass. Hell yeah,

yeah, yeah. You owe him some money, Nick? What, what are you owe him some money? I feel like if I hung out with them for two days I'd be like probably halfway up the organization in like a couple weeks up I mean the first trip I did I hung out with them

they didn't well there's two different cartels the young cartel they're scary is a little scarier the OGs who've been there they have a code I don't know it's crazy I'm learning a lot about the cartels like you just stay out of the way they don't fuck with you you're bringing money to the air

We're getting into that. We're going to that in life. Yeah. It's a lot. I don't want to talk about. You ever watch those old movies and you see somebody that's like in a scene for one thing and you never see him again and you wonder what happened to them for last 30 years? Yeah. That's what happened.

No, no. I'm talking about way less famous. He's been done doing a lot of shit. I'm talking about like when you watch Mighty Ducks and there's like some guy that's one seeing the money ducks. Or like the sandlot. All those homies in the sandlot. Yeah, but even less famous. I'm not like the guy that driving the taxi or some shit.

Yeah, or like the lost boys and hook. Where do these people go? Do they just kill them after they're done? Or are they... How does Hollywood work? They moved to Mexico like me. This is where I'm going to go die. That would be a good place to die.
