Running Drugs for the Cartel

Yeah. So I told him, I sat down, literally— this is so crazy, you remember this, Jason— I literally crossed this Mexican border and I got picked up by his sicarios. A sicario is a basically a hitman for the cartel. And he had this bulletproof vehicle that picked me up. They rolled down the window and they said, get in the car. And I got in this car, this bulletproof Suburban. There was a driver with a holster and he had a handgun. And then when I turned around behind me, there was two sicarios with AK-47s and bulletproof jackets. I was like, this is it. They're going to just kill me and then they're going to just take my body and I'm done, right? Like, this is— it's over. They didn't kill me right there. They drive and sure enough, we get on this toll road and there's another vehicle, bulletproof Suburban, and then right behind us, a bulletproof Hummer. And we have this like motor crew. What do they call it? Motorcade. Motorcade. It's the first time I've had a motorcade since when we played at USC football. I was like, God, this is a hell of a lot different experience than the last motorcade I had. This time it's with the cartel. So we literally get into this restaurant called Puerto Nuevo and it's a private, it's a lobster town. And we get in there and this restaurant, world-famous restaurant, is shut down. Like, no one's there. Like, I'm like, why is it shut down? Like, this place is usually packed. He had the restaurant shut down. He had his 6 sicarios at the table, all with guns. He had 2 sicarios behind me with the AK-47s.
