Chapter 1: What is the premise of the show 'Locked Up Abroad'?
Any of you guys ever see the show Locked Up Abroad? I forget if it was on Discovery or something. Al is nodding. You've ever seen Locked Up Abroad? I have not. All right. So basically, it's a story of Americans who find themselves in foreign prisons because of silly drug offenses. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know Midnight Run. I'm sorry. Oh, you don't know the movie. Okay. No. Is that what happens?
Yeah. Americans are in... Long Island guy. I think it's Midnight Run. I'm pretty sure that's the name of it. Yeah. And he ends up in a foreign prison because of... Midnight Express is what it is. Midnight Express. Okay. All right. Yeah, he ends up in a Turkish prison. In a Turkish prison. And it is a true story about a Long Island guy.
Turkish prison, I feel like there were jokes in the movie Airplane about a Turkish prison. And I always thought that that was like a man-on-man thing. That was the joke. Right. Oliver Stone did that movie. Okay. Am I right about that? The Turkish prison. Turkish prison. Prison. Turkish prison. Turkish prison. Jokes. Yeah. Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Unbelievable that I remember that. So as a kid watching that, not a kid, but I don't know, 12 or whatever, watching that movie, that's the first time I ever heard Turkish prison. And then I was like, what is that all about? And then I came to learn that it's a place you don't want to go. If you're looking to keep your butt intact. Yeah, well, I'll tell you, this is a very dark movie.
Very frustrating movie. All right, well, I'm going to give you this. I'm going to move away from the Turkish part of this. Okay. Have you ever been to a Turkish prison? But this is actually a serious story. It's a sad story. And there's a guy, Jared Shaw, who is locked up in an Indonesian prison. Jared Shaw played college basketball at Oklahoma State and Utah State.
And he started playing overseas, which a lot of these guys do who don't make it to the NBA. So he had played in Tunisia, Lebanon. Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. So he was on, he was a key member, he's 35 now, of the Prawira Bangdong team who won the Indonesian Basketball League in 2023. So he's playing in Indonesian. He's having success. He's a champ. So he's got Crohn's disease. Okay.
And he says that one of the things that helps him with his Crohn's disease are weed gummies. Is this a Brittany Griner situation? It's worse, I think. Okay. I think this is worse now. So he's got the weed gummies, and he orders, well, what he did was he ordered a package of 132 cannabis gummies to be delivered to his apartment in Indonesia. All right, and where were these gummies coming from?
Well, somewhere where the government knew about it because they tracked it and he got arrested in May of 2025. And he has been in this prison ever since. And he actually was facing the death penalty. Now, they finally dropped that. Like, the U.S. got involved in a way where they were able to drop the death penalty somehow. But he's still in the prison.
And it's all because of the 132 gummies because Indonesia has some of the harshest drug laws in the world. And I'm reading from The Guardian right now. So it says, Indonesia has some of the harshest drug laws in the world. Cannabis is categorized alongside heroin and methamphetamine in Indonesia, despite its legislation for medical and recreational use across swaths of North America and Europe.

Chapter 2: Who is Jarred Shaw and why is he in an Indonesian prison?
This guy gets these gummies and he might get shot to death by a firing squad. It's amazing what goes on in other countries. Yes, I would think that Singapore is known for very, very strong anti-drug laws. Singapore? I believe. Yeah. But again, when you travel... You know, to foreign countries, you got to be aware of what the hell you get yourself into. He was living there.
Well, the other thing should be somebody on that basketball program or team should have told him. Yeah. Like, what are you doing? I mean, he had to know. It's just a bad one. Unless somebody else had been doing it. and said, hey, I've been doing this. You can do it this way. Yeah, order them to your house. Or something. This way is safe.
And here comes the Indonesian police ripping him out of his apartment complex and throwing him in jail. No joke. It's no joke, man. Yeah, no, I know. Imagine if Dog got thrown in that Indonesian prison because he had his gummies. They would release him immediately. There is no way that they would keep him in that prison. No way. He might want to go to a Turkish prison. Now I'm thinking about it.
Where's Cox? It's not a Turkish bath. It's a Turkish prison. God. What was the line again? Was it Johnny? Was it little Johnny who was up in the cockpit? Hey, Johnny, have you ever been to a Turkish prison? I mean, that movie, because I guess I used to watch a ton of Comedy Central.
Chapter 3: What led Jarred Shaw to order cannabis gummies?
Okay. But that movie, Airplane, really taught me about comedic things that I didn't know about early on. And I'm so happy that I found that movie when I did, because it was just hilarious. I didn't quite understand all of it. But then as I got older, I understood all of it. But what a phenomenal... but just phenomenal comedy.
That's why, for me, Tropic Thunder is every scene, it's a laugh-out-loud scene. Unbelievable movie. Absolutely. You ever been in a cockpit before? No, sir, I've never been up in a plane before. You ever seen a grown man naked? Joey, you ever hang around the gymnasium? Joey, You like movies about gladiators? Oh my god. It's just horrible, but it's so funny.
