Episode 11 is here! CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP!
When Matt (this episode’s guest, not its host!) was in his late 20s, he was a broke meth addict who needed an easier way to score — which is exactly what he got when he got hooked up with a high-quantity dealer who needed a hand moving product in Matt’s upper-class NorCal neighborhood. 'Good deal!', Matt thought... but what Matt did NOT think, or even have the slightest clue about, was that this new dealer pal worked for the infamous (and murderous) Zetas cartel— that is, until the FEDs came-a-knocking, with the threat of a MINIMUM sentence of 25 to life, unless Matt became an informant for them. So without much of a choice, Matt went to work (undercover!) for the FBI, helping put scores of dealers and middle men behind bars over the course of three chaotic, high-stress years. But between the mental strain of the undercover work, his newfound sobriety, and his growing conscience, Matt knew he would not be able to live like this forever. So Matt asked himself the ultimate question: continue living like this under the proverbial sword of Damocles, or finally face the music and spend some time behind bars?
