If they were smuggling anything other than drugs or humans or whatever, if they were just doing this with orchids, you'd go, man, that's the smartest guy, the most resourceful guy.

It's almost MacGyver-type stuff where you go, that guy's sharp, man.

Yeah.

I mean, in a weird way, it's like one of those competitions where they go, you know, you get a box of popsicle sticks and some glue, but you got to make a structure that'll hold the weight of a bowling ball.

And it's sort of like saying, all right, we're going to have a competition.

You go to Mexico, everyone gets a sack of flour and you got to figure out a way to get into the United States.

And they're going to be looking for this sack of flour.

How are you going to do it?

Like, and everyone has to kind of

I go, I'm going to weld it into the fender of a car, you know, whatever it is.

There's a there's a as a guy myself who's kind of a who's a builder.

There's a part of me that kind of goes, oh, yeah, it's a good it's pretty sharp.

Yeah, the Whittington brothers, who were these guys that raced and smuggled drugs in the 80s, they bought...

Road Atlanta, the racetrack.

And Road Atlanta, I've driven at a couple of times, has one of the longest straightaways in the country in terms of racetracks.

And they would fly a plane back, two planes, one for the feds because they were working with them, but the other one would be their plane filled with drugs, and they would land it in Road Atlanta because they couldn't land it

land it in an airport where the, where there was security and stuff like that around, but just stuff like we're going to buy a racetrack and, and we're not buying a, we're not going to buy an airport.

That would be suspicious, but we'll buy a racetrack and we'll race at the racetrack, but also we'll land our planes filled with drugs on the straightaway, that kind of stuff.

And, uh,

And I don't know, what are some of the crazier stories that are in the book in terms of deception or how they tried to smuggle it?
