so i just spent about i don't know 12 hours digging through the internet about you and you are a bad motherfucker holy shit whoa dude i don't i don't think so but okay are you sure you had chris bayless it wasn't some other guy with a different name i'm pretty sure are you sure okay but uh and uh the first atf agents agent i've ever had on the show

I hope you don't screw it up for the rest of the fucking agency.

Oh, I'm sure I will, too.

But I get bad reviews all the time.

There you go.

Right on.

But I want to start off with an introduction to prove my point here.

Chris Bayless, 30-year ATF special agent, spent the majority of your career undercover, infiltrated the Hell's Henchmen motorcycle club and was inside when they patched over to become the Hell's Angels, planning the club's first plague in the Midwest.

Your undercover intelligence helped build the federal RICO case that took down Mel Chancey and the Chicago Hells Angels leadership.

Partners with Jay Dobbins, the agent who later infiltrated the Hells Angels in Arizona.

Personally involved in more than 100 stash house sting operations across the country.

Had partners shot and killed.

Continued to work for three decades.

Suspects planned to kill you...

On roughly half of your operations, one crew planned to poke holes in your stomach and to sink your body in a river.

Got locked in a bar with a 6'9", 300-pound biker outlaw enforcer while you were wearing a wire.

You fought your way out.
