So there's violence. It's gotten a little bit better recently. They had a young president come in who did some no-nonsense like...
el salvador yeah i'm just gonna arrest everybody yeah yes that kind of stuff which is bothersome for human rights but the other thing is that my friends there dude like bodies hanging from bridges scary and the cartels did come into the national tv station during broadcast and with guns to heads and they tell the politicians to leave us alone or else
No, no, no, no. It's very real. And the last time I was there, one of my homies was driving me and my girl to a village where I have some property, a surfing spot, and... We were getting on the outskirts of the village and I saw a motorcycle accident on the side of the road and people were gathering around. I'm like, honey, don't look. This is going to be bad. Motorcycle accidents are not pretty.
We get up closer and I look and this man was laying on top of his motorcycle. That's not how motorcycle accidents happen.
We get a little bit closer. Back of his head is blown off. So they know me there. I asked some questions of people and they're like, he was handled. He was a bad person. And the locals.
Yeah, that's right. He got handled and that's how it is there. But it wasn't like that, man. It's gotten better now, but the cocaine trade has made it bad, man. Friends of mine, not good things happened. Not good things happened so people can sit up snorting crap and talking insincere shit all night long.
And I've done enough Peruvian marching powder to keep this whole block of Los Angeles awake for a year. So I'm not an angel. But I've seen the human cost of this up close. And people need to think about that.
Dude, I have friends who are dead because of it. I'm in the music business and in that scene and people still party and... Look, man, stick to your MDMA or whatever. You can't trust anything now. You can't trust anything. Because I loved pills. So did my guitar player, Mark. He's six years clean and sober now. Wrote a book about it. I'm not talking out of school, but he got real bad on opiates.
Luckily, I quit before this happened, but now there's counterfeit prescription pills.
They have their own pill presses and it's fentanyl.
You know, when people go to get cocaine and stuff, and I was asking, why is there...
fentanyl in the cocaine why that makes no sense cocaine makes you go up yeah and someone's like oh to make it more addictive and i'm like i don't think that really makes an accident just sloppy sloppy mixing and sometimes machines they use that to process fentanyl they're not going to clean their pill press in a way that sterilizes yeah they're just gonna throw the cocaine in after the fentanyl and oh well the first batch is a little gross whoopsie but whatever yeah
Sure. When I was in the Czech Republic waiting trial, I love history, and I learned a lot about the history of the Czech Republic during World War II and further into it. It was Czechoslovakia then, then through the communist era. Did they let you read in there and stuff? Like, what did you do in prison? I finally got some English books. I wrote a lot before no English books.
And then my lawyer finally brought me some English books. But no, I did not do much. I worked out and read and wrote. But anyway, World War II, the Nazis obviously invaded and took over. And the... Only, I think, high-ranking Nazi official to be assassinated happened in Prague. And his name was Reinhard Heydrich. I think that was his name. He was known as the Butcher of Prague.
And there was a group of Czech and Slovakian dudes who had gone to England. They had already been out fighting by the time the Nazis took over. So they were in England when the Nazis took over. They trained up in Scotland as guerrillas and paratroopers, special forces. They parachuted back into Nazi-occupied Czech, went into Prague,
And then two of them made an assassination tip on Reinhard Heydrich as he was driving his car, the Butcher of Prague. And one of them's machine gun jammed. The other one threw a grenade. And it went off beneath Heydrich's car. And they thought they hadn't gotten him, but they did because the upholstery had horse hair in it. The shrapnel pushed horse hair into Heydrich's blood and poisoned him.
He got sepsis.
and he died he didn't die right away no he died so this group of paratroopers go into hiding and eventually they wind up hiding in this basement of a church in the crypt where they buried people and they get ratted out i can't remember i think one of them turned and ratted them out And so for full 24 hours, something like seven dudes held off 1,400 Nazi stormtroopers or 900.
They had to flood them out. Eventually, the Nazis came to the church. They held them off the guns, eventually retreated to the crypt. They were trying to flood them out. They were throwing grenades down there and stuff. Finally, at the end, they ran out of bullets. They tried to dig out through a tunnel into the sewers. They couldn't do that.
And finally, they only had a few bullets left, so they shot themselves. This was known as Operation Anthropoid. There's a movie called Anthropoid you can watch. And you can go into the basement of that church and you can see where they were trying to dig out. And you can see the bullet holes inside of it.
