Okay, Well, how about the 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:23.119 story of somebody I know you love to Instagram influencers 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.919 who go on and around the world cruise and it's 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.080 so exciting and new and they document all of this 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.440 on their social media. But it turns out that the 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:38.200 pair actually a cover for international cocaine smuggling operation. Let's 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.560 call it the coke Boat. Yeah, soon we'll be taking 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:54.400 another run. The coke boat promises something for everyone. Okay, yeah, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.400 this is ridiculous Crime a podcast about absurd and outrageous capers. 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:26.560 Heis and cons It's oh, murder free and ridiculous. Elizabeth Done, 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.000 Sarah Burnett. I have a confession to make. I've never 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.440 been on a cruise ship. I have no idea what 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.960 they're like. Zero. I watched the Love Boat that to 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.800 me is a cruise ship in Disney commercials, you know, likevirus. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.640 So to me, they kind of look ridiculous. Of the ships, 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.880 I mean, not the cruises like you see them out 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.920 in San Francisco at the docks. Yeah, it looks like 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.280 somebody kicked over one of the skyscrapers. It fell into 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:49.560 the water. They're like, I don't know, let's make a 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.040 boat out of this. But I have, you know, all 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.760 my nonsense aside, Elizabeth, you've been on a cruise I 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.000 have twice. Okay, So what was it like, just to 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.520 let me know, I have no idea. It's a it's 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.560 an interesting experience. It's like it is like being in 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:08.120 a giant hotel on its side. Everyone falls over. Uh, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.120 it's un like, what do you do all day? Is 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.120 it fun? Do you walk around you see people? Do 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:14.720 you make friends? Like you like, do you see people 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.640 and go, hey, what should go bowling at the You 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.760 can you can make friends, or you can hang out 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.359 with your family or like, you know, they have like 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:27.760 trivia games. My family did the trivia thing and like 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.040 went to every single one and got really like aggressively 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.200 racking up prices. Then you tell you not to comment 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.280 or come on, everyone else a chance, and then they 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.320 have you know, people go there. A lot of people 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.400 are there just to eat at the buffet, the buffet lines. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.120 I read a lot about this in the story. Yeah, 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.320 and then um, you can walk around on the deck 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.240 and like look out at the water. And then they 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.040 have stops. I mean they stopped places about that. But 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.680 I'm saying when you're on the boat, that's the part 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.559 I don't I don't know. You sleep and you read, 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.760 and you also produced you are somebody who's doing a 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.000 cruise ships too correct, That is correct? What what did 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.720 you do? The best thing is I mean truly the 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.279 rocket of the boat, like it just puts you to sleep. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.320 It's just if it's the most soothing thing and then 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:15.120 cruises really are like um, like floating hotels that have 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.400 all the amenities you can possibly think of. Like the 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.120 ships that've been on have um movie theaters. They have 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.520 like Broadway style stuff, which I don't really like, but 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.960 but like people get into it. And and if you're sick, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.080 like you can watch it from your room that it's 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.640 closed circuit record broadcast. I had no idea they're running tracks. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.520 They're like, you know, uh, really nice restaurants at some 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.960 crappy restaurants, but also really nice restaurants, so it's not 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.440 just cruise ship magicians anymore. No. And they have like 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.040 kids clubs so the kids can all hang out then 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.839 that way, you know, they have they make friends parents. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.760 It's very Vegas like, yeah, all right, okay, Now, either 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.680 one of you imagine when you were on these cruises 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.880 that along with you were some cocaine smugglers. I would 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:04.080 be surprised if there weren't. Well, it's time to meet 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.800 through heroes of this ridiculous crime. I'd like to introduce 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.880 you to Melina R. Four. She's the primary focus of 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.840 our cocaine smuggling plot. She would later be joined by 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.479 her future co defendant Isabelle Lagasse, who was a thirty 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.680 year old at the time. Now they had this. It 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.719 all started out. This whole like coke Bote scenario happened 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.680 when Malina's friend whom she only ever refers to a 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.880 sugar Daddy, So I will have to be referring to 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.240 him as sugar Daddy, so forgive me for that. But Sugar, 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.440 that's his name, first name Sugar, last name Daddy, last 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:39.040 name Mr. Daddy. So Sugar was kind enough to offer 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.839 to sponsor her for a luxury cruise around the world. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.240 Sponsor her exactly. Now what could she say? I mean, 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.120 who says no to a free world cruise? I mean, now, 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.839 of course, mix into this little heady cocktail of a question, 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.360 would you or would you not? It's also your job 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.840 to post photos on social media? So how could you 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.400 possibly resist this offer? I mean, this is pretty much 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.120 catnip right, it's a can holiday and there's also one 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.960 the other little codessile. Nothing in life is free, so 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:07.800 you have to ask yourself what will be the price 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.720 of this if I'm being offered it for free? So 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.600 this is this whole story. When I was reading it, 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.480 it kept reminding me of the old ads what would 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.160 you do for a klondike bar? Right? And like I 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.040 used to laugh at people, and I still laugh at people, 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.960 and I think they have been doing those ads again, 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.840 and like I actually and they have a fool who 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.520 sit there and watching and go home. I wonder what 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.240 I would do, and I imagine what I would do. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.080 There is nothing that I would do for these likes 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.280 that these people are doing all of this for. They're 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.440 willing to ruin their lives for likes. And you will 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.200 see what I mean. In one sense, you don't want 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.800 to get sponsored to like fly out a medie with 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.960 a bunch of balloons of coke and your tone tongue, yes, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.360 exactly telling my best impression of a coke Doncory. So 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.720 Melina Robert. She grew up the small town of Granby, 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.640 which is a case you don't know the Montreal excerpts. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.280 It's a little village outside of Montreal, and it's a 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:00.920 little bit bigger than village. I would say it's a 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.560 town about sixty people. Oh okay, that's a small town. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.720 The town of group and was about fifty two people. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.680 And I thought of it as a town city. I 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.280 wouldn't think of it as a city, bustling metropolis. It's 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:16.560 a you know, a Canadian small city. So after she 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.640 leaves Granby, she heads up to you know, grab her 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.920 piece of life in the big city of Montreal, as 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.080 do a lot of people from Granby. She's a high 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.160 school grad at this point living in the big city, 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.920 and she gets a job at a jewelry store. Her 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.840 customers are mostly local, wealthy, rich travelers, tourists, and of 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.720 course international criminals. Molina. She takes to this life, the 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.920 fast life of Montreal. She loves it. She loves the pulse, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.920 the beat of the city, the art, restaurants, the clubs, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.240 everything is for her. She's like, I've waited all my 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:52.199 life for this. She has a sponge from Montreal. So 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.440 soon enough she becomes the next thing that happens in 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.439 this phase of evolution for this country girl, gone city. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.400 She becomes a scene store in the clubs. She becomes 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.480 a club girl right for her now she as she 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.760 gets known in the club scene, everyone around her and 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.400 just like her, they're all documenting their lives on social media. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.880 So she starts to become a social media influencer, or 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.520 at least a hopeful influencer. Right now, she'd been in 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.280 Montreal about two years when she meets the man who 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.640 had changed her life, who we previously referred to as 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.320 Sugar Daddy. Sugar so sugar Daddy. He's an older cat, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.400 as you might have guest, and he was also another 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.680 thing you might have guessed, mysterious. Yes, he had money, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.760 and he said he had a business online and she 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.760 was like, oh, that's cute. I do business on businessman. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.840 So he's he've done well in life, right, at least 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.920 money wise, and he liked to spend his fortune. He 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.280 was very will stay generous with it. Turns out he's 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.199 more manipulative with her, but he would spend freely around her. 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.800 She got to enjoy the fine things that he enjoyed. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.080 This life, his way of life becomes intoxicating for Molina. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.840 She's like, oh, sugar Daddy, I love this. Right. So Molina, 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.840 now twenty years old, smitten on a life, doesn't understand 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.240 or get how it's being paid for. And she's now 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.960 knee deep into what of a criminal adventure that she 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:10.320 doesn't see around her. Okay, right right now, Molina and 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.760 her her older friend will call him Sugar Daddy, her sponsor, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:18.240 her sponsor, she finds out about his mysterious secret. One day, 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.520 she discovers the source of his fortune. Can you guess 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.920 what it was? Online business that he ran was an 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.520 escort service. He was a pimp, and not like the 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.679 fun kind like Snoop Dogg in a music video. He 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.600 was a pimp, like a eurotrash pimp, like open shirt, 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.320 gold chains, like a pimp in Montreal. So he would 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.000 take advantage of young women like Molina. He would enthrall 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.680 them with his life that they couldn't possibly lead. He 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.719 get them so far into it that they considered it 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.760 kind of like now their life. And then you go, hey, 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.840 I got a little favorite, asked, just a small favor. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.720 Would you be willing to have sex with one of 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.360 my rich friends? He likes you? And what are you saying? Right? 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.640 And so Molina, once she'd walked through that door, she 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.320 becomes a sex worker. And she doesn't really realize it 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.440 at first, but then she's like, well, I don't hate 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.800 my new life. This isn't bad. She's down to being 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.160 a sex worker. And I'm not shamming sex workers? You know, 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.240 do you boo? I don't care, But like when you 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.000 hear me being a bit judgmental about this. All of 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:19.800 that goes on to sugar Daddy. So sugar Daddy, he's 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.680 the one exploiting the susceptible and the gullible, right, and 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.959 I don't cotto that personally, So sugar Daddy is the 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.439 bad one, right. So he's also arranging sex work for her. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.920 It starts out his favors, it becomes more formal, and 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.400 then he's like her pimp, right with engraved invitations. They 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.360 have like contracts and stuff like. So she and her 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.240 eurotrash pimp. They move on to what comes next, which 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.600 is they go to where rich people congregate. So she 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.720 starts working Monaco, all right, So sugar Daddy's introducing her 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.679 to the ultra rich and lascivious. And meanwhile Molina is 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.760 getting paid well, sometimes it's extravagant gifts. Other times it's 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.959 that she did a favor for sugar Daddy and he's like, yeah, 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:00.720 don't worry, I'll take care you on the back end, 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.720 right anyway, But he's also probably like room and board 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.840 all the yeah, like all the whole like how who 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.720 bought your plane ticket? Baby? You know, like I don't 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:15.080 know your electric So by May, she's now moved on 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.360 to working in Morocco as an escort because apparently there's like, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.280 you know, action there and uh this Morocco trips she 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:26.120 goes on in super lucrative. She ends up banking fifteen 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.800 grand from that trip. Things are going well for us. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.280 She's pretty good being an escort, right, and she likes 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:37.360 living amongst the wealthy. She enjoys trading pleasure for pay 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.160 all right. So then comes a faithful offer that will 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:41.960 change her life, the one that she kind of just 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.480 wanders into. Molina's sugar Daddy, her friend. He says, I've 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.000 got some friends, and my friends they have big plans, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.199 and she's like, oh, what are your friends big plans? 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.520 He's like, look, I'd like you to come with me 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.840 and travel around the world. And she's like, oh, well, 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.480 who would have to sleep with to pay for that? 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.240 She's like, and she's surprised when they answer is like, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.640 no one. You don't sleep with anyone. She's like, how 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.600 would I don't get it? What would my job be? Right? 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.640 And he's like, sugar daddies friends they just want company. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.960 They just like to have pretty girls around. He's She's 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.160 like okay, So now without realizing it, She's about to 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:18.440 graduate from escort to cocaine smuggling, right, So Molina was 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.640 graduation ceremony. You moved the tassel from one side and 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.640 then you look at and so she's now happier with 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.720 their life. Was an escort, not too keen on becoming 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.440 a cocaine smuggler. So when sugar Daddy's like, hey, you 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.480 want to take a ride in the coke boat, She's like, no, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.959 I'd rather not. I just like to do the Monico 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.880 thing in Morocco. That's cool. A few weeks past, Sugar 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.760 Daddies come back to her and he's like, hey, remember 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.320 that thing I asked you about with the coke boat. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.400 What do you say would you would you be into that? 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.880 She's like no, I just like to concentrate on my 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.920 Instagram influencing and just doing escorting. And that's fine. I mean, 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.600 like all that's good. So we can maybe just keep 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.800 this going. And he's like oh yeah, yeah, shures right. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.240 More time passes again, Sugar Daddy comes back. He's in 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:58.920 a bind. He's like, look, I need to help baby. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.040 You gotta hook me up. Like, well, what what's the problem? 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.480 What can I do? He's like this girl I had 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.040 she was gonna do the trip. I got her in 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.319 your place, but she she backed out last minute. You 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.680 gotta do this for me. It'll be it's a twenty 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.040 two dollar trip. You'll have an amazing time. It's seven weeks, 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.360 you go all around the world. She's like, I don't know. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.360 He's like, i'll give you six grand spending money. Come on, 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.880 let's do this. She's like, she's like considered an early 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.960 birthday present. She's like an early birthday present, and she's like, 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.240 I need you to do this. She feel like it's 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.280 not really at this point, he's not asking no, she 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.920 doesn't get that right, so but she still wants to know. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.080 She's like, well, I had to actively like transport the 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:33.840 cocaine and smuggle it, or can I just like be 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.960 pretty into distraction? And he's like okay, I'll just what 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.280 do you think You're gonna have to actively smuggle the cocaine. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.600 She's like, okay, well I'm not into that. She's like, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.080 just chill, baby, They'll be like one or two kilos 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.680 at most, and she's like okay. So she eventually, when 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.280 she starts imagining all the likes flowing in, she's like 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.840 I'll do it, and so her fate is sealed. Now, 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.960 after this little quick break, I'll tell you about is 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.200 about Lagas, and we'll get you on that coke boat, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.480 all right. Elizabeth Isabel Lagasse. Yes, the thirty year old. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.400 Now she has seen more of the world than young Molina. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.880 Now Isabel, she had seen the good, the bad, and 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:34.960 the ugly of the world. And by age thirty, she 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.680 was like Pride on the coke boat. No, actually that's 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.680 not that's not actually how she was. She was a 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.440 waitress and she was working on Montreal's South Shore, which 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.000 I doubt you know this because I didn't know it, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.200 had to look it up. That's where like the commuters 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.720 live who go into Montreal. So it's like she works 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.680 in the suburbs, right, and now she dreams of starting 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.840 a new life. She's at this point, she was a 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.920 twenty eight years old and she started dreaming of her 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.400 new life. And she gets into problems due to her 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:04.400 previous bad decisions. She owed twenty dollars to some bad 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.120 men and she was working as a waitress, which would 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.280 not pay for that anytime soon. She's like, what can 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:10.520 I do? I need to make a move, I need 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.400 to make a big move. Right. Lucky for her, a 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.720 big move comes her way. She gets an offer, unfortunately 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.720 was from the same bad men who she owed the 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.320 grand time. They count her and they go, hey, we 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.600 gotta wait for you to pay off that loan. She's like, oh, yeah, 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.520 you're gonna take all around the cruise. She's like, I'm 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.520 gonna do what. You're going to take an all around cruise? 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.640 And she's like, I don't really want to do that, 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.000 and you're like, all around I'm sorry, all around the world. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.680 Creuse Okay. So she's like, I don't really want to 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.880 do that, and you're like, yeah, this isn't a question. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.920 So here's what you're gonna do. You're going to do 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.320 this and then if you do it, we won't hurt 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.800 your family. She's like, Okay, this is definitely not a choice, 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.920 so I will do this. So she agrees to take 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.360 her trip on the coke boat and around the World 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:53.880 cruise under direst exactly forced into it. Otherwise your family 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:59.560 is going to get luxury around the so is about 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.480 the Gas and Molina have both agreed under her ask 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.680 to go on the around the world luxury coke boat tour. 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:10.160 So Molina Isabelle. They know each other. They were both 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.119 like on the scene, like they're familiar with each other. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.080 They're not like super tight, they're not friendly, but they 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.119 know each other. So it's not like an impossible thing 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.080 for them to be thrown together and go, here's your cabin, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.639 spend the next seven weeks together. They're like, oh, I 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.400 kind of know her. She's all right, Yeah, I know her. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.720 She's cool. So they're you know, fine with the idea. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.760 When they're told like, yeah, this will be your partner 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.880 for this criminal enterprise, you're like, okay. Now. The thing 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.720 about crime, and I don't think a lot of people 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.879 always recognize this is for a lot of people, they 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.800 don't really realize that they've become a criminal. Like there's 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.159 really porous borders to crime, and it's not like a 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:43.840 fixed thing. It's like there's no job at review. You 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.520 don't come in and go, okay, you get the job. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.560 You start criming on Monday. You know, it's like to 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.879 put it in your title. Yeah exactly. It's more like 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.240 all of a sudden, you do a thing and you 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.320 look back and you're like, oh, oh, look at that, 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.800 I'm a criminal now, right, And so that was kind 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.440 of what happened to Molina and Isabelle. They wandered into 0:17:58.480 --> 0:17:59.960 the waters and all of a sudden they were way 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.840 steep in crime. Yeah, So the influencer and the waitress, 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.120 they are flown from Montreal over to England where they 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:11.600 were board this around the World coke boat. Right. They 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.399 arrived in the British sports city of Southampton and they 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.160 this is where the ship will launch from. And it's 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.280 going to go from the UK over to Ireland and 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.720 then we'll go from Ireland across the Atlantic to Canada 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.480 and then down to the US to New York, to Bermuda, 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.120 onto Colombia and then to Ecuador, Peru. Then it goes 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.680 on to Chule, then it goes over across the Pacific, 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.200 stops in French Polynesia. Finally it wanders its way down 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.080 to the Sydney Harbor. Seven weeks. This does seem like 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:40.840 a cocaine itentity, right, especially all the stops. So two 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.280 months I'm aboarded. This boat essentially is going to be 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.159 their thing. Now. They also have a minder, like a 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.200 criminal chaperone. There is a sixty three year old man 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.560 named Andre Tomine who's going to be with them two 0:18:53.760 --> 0:19:00.199 young girl year and also he's not alone either is 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:04.879 with Andre just not so good of conversation. So he 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.160 has three travel mates that are with him as well, 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.080 that are friends that the two women rarely see it first, 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.840 but slowly these men make their presence known on the 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:16.720 ship to the women. Right. The four men are Stephen Chevrier, 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:22.600 Michel Nicole, and Andre the first one I told you. Okay, 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.120 so there's three days. Two of them are secret like 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.120 hiding in the cabins. Three of them. Three of them 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.960 basically just they just always seemed to be wherever the 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.840 girls are. And then like they'll go to eat with Andre, 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.480 and all of a sudden, these like Andre will like 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.480 waiver signal to one of the guys. They started to go, 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.440 do you know these guys things start putting it together, 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.959 and it turns out that these four men all happened 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.880 to purchase their twenty dollar cruise tickets from the exact 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.320 same Montreal travel agency, and they all happened to pay cash. 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.480 They're all the yeah, the only ones who happened to 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.440 do this, right, Yeah, So the cruise ship, this cruise 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.600 ship that they're spending time on apparently, like you guys 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.879 said it has everything. Like I had to read up. 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.760 This is the the MSc Princess. So it's Princess Cruise 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.359 Lines out of Los Angeles. It boasts all the amenities 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:06.840 you could wish for from a luxury cruise liner. I 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.720 didn't know this. They had a day spa, a casino, restaurants, 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.439 it had an adrium that was decked out in gold. 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.520 I mean the thing. It's just luxury, luxury, right, It's 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:20.119 like a Vegas attraction, but like actually done really nicely. Okay, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.240 So the women they start posting Instagram posts. They and 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.479 they were like, oh, look at our life and his luxury, right. 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.800 And the very first one is a post by Molina 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.800 that she put on Instagram. It's her getting Irish coffee 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.879 in Ireland and like the little seaside town of Cobb, right, 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.520 She's like, oh look, real Irish, do almost some coke. 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.359 So then the two start posting the more selfies from 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:47.240 aboard the ship. There's bikini picks, big smiles, sunny ocean bustance, 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.160 cocktails in hand, the whole nine. You can imagine the shots, right. Yeah. 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.320 The ship then starts passing into the Atlantic waters. Now 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.720 we're underway. The coke boat is cruising right, Millian Isabelle. 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.879 They start seeing the three Bad Men more and more often. 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.159 Now they're like sitting down with them at breakfast or 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.880 like this is getting weird. They cross paths all the time. 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:07.880 The men would stop to chat with Andre when they're 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:09.760 just walking the deck. They're like, are we gonna ever 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.280 be introduced to these guys? Like, what's their stories? Still 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.639 haven't been introduced. They don't know who these guys are 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.040 serious presents. No. I like to imagine these dudes like 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:20.040 playing shuffleboard and they got like dark socks, the sandals, 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.919 they got like the white shorts, open collar shirts, the 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.600 gold chains. But they're like they just spend their evenings 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.320 like standing at the rail wanting to see the green 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.800 flash and Tomas telling each other about it. Yeah, so 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.399 that's what they're doing. Man, these Montreal hard men, and 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.399 they're they're friendly minder Andre. They just keep being hard 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.240 men on the cruise and being generally suspicious. But the women, 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:44.239 they don't really put any of this together. They're like, 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.000 that's probably the coke guys. I guess, I don't know whatever. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.160 I would love to be on this cruise and then 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:54.720 just be letting my run wild Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.200 you'd be overheating here completely. I'd have smoke coming out 0:21:57.200 --> 0:22:00.520 of my ears trying to figure out. Yeah. So, eventually 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.479 the cruise gets to Canada and they stop at Nova Scotia. 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.680 It's one of their stops and the passengers, one of 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:09.720 the passengers on the MSc Princess disembarks. He's one of 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.800 the four men incidentally, and uh, the ones who are 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.760 friendly with Andre. Right, so this man is Michelle Chiasol. 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:19.119 Michelle disembarks in Nova Scotia and Molina Isabel don't know 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:20.600 why he gets off the boat. They don't see him, 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.240 and they also don't notice that he gets grabbed by 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.439 customs when he gets off. When he steps off the 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.119 boat and customs says, hey, we want to talk to you, right, 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:31.000 So the Canadian border officials take him to custody. They 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:34.239 interview him, and what Molina and Isabel also don't know 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.440 is that Michelle Chiassol ends up fingering them as suspects 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:39.240 for authorities to keep an eye on. He's like, yeah, 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.840 there's two girls on the boat and they are cocaine smugglers. 0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:45.199 It does not me so, but at this point the 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.360 boat has left the harbor. It's gone to New York. 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:49.720 So the Canadian authorities can't do anything other than to 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.639 phone to New York, so they call the American authorities. 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.840 The women get to New York, nothing happens. There's nobody 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:57.560 there waiting for them at the harbor. They get off, 0:22:57.560 --> 0:22:59.880 they go to Times Square, they take more selfies. Everything's 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:04.399 la la la, right, So they're enjoying their time. Trips 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:07.439 going well. The pictures are getting mad likes. Everybody's loving it. 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.840 People can't believe the life that Molina and Isabelle are 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.520 getting to live. They don't see the actual, you know, 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:16.640 the truth lurking behind their smiles. But you know, everybody's 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:18.920 blown away by They're looking at these photos of them 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.160 in Bermuda, which is where they go next. The two 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.719 Canadians they pose in bikini pics, right, and they're like 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.440 like staring wistfully at the sea. They're taking each other's 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:29.280 picture from behind. They're leaning on rocks and stuff and 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.119 doing the whole like my feet in the water, my 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.760 bunts on the rock, you know. Okay, So the cruise 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:37.000 ship now it passes through the Caribbean and they get 0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:41.000 to Colombia. Now things are starting to get spicy, remember 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.200 coke boots. Right while they were off the ship cruising 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.480 through a zoo in Colombia, we don't know if it 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:50.400 was like yeah, hippos, yes, I don't know if it's 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.320 a cocaine zoo. I don't know if Pablo Escobar zoo. 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:57.520 But so they go and they hit up Pablo Escobar 0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:59.400 zoo and they're like, this is what the good life 0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.200 pays for road hippos. They're like, we're looking for inspiration 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:04.880 there it is show what's the little cessma plane he had? 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.600 So at this point though, while they're in the zoo 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:10.520 and Colombia, a couple of dudes, young guys who they 0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:14.200 recognize from the cruise line, they walk over them like hey, 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.560 and the girls are like, oh, we know that the 0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.440 the Italian guys I said they referred to him, so 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.399 they Italian guys. Maybe they're I don't know, attractive Italian 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:23.199 guys and they caught their eye. So they're like, oh, 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.000 is the Italian guys. Italian guys come over and go 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:27.200 oh yo, hey, hey, you're doing you're doing that thing 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.800 that you're doing that thing we're doing. That's awesome, right, 0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.480 And she's like what wake nude nus, you're doing the thing. 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.640 They're like, oh, they must be with the coca influencers 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.160 him exactly. So the Italians make it clear like, hey, 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:41.520 we're running coked also, just like you guys that are 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:45.880 were influencers. Then so this twosome now becomes a foursome. 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.080 So them in the two hot Italians, they become four 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.359 young coke smugglers out on the world. Right, they have 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:57.680 breakfast together, lunch together. Like, I'm customs, I would walk 0:24:57.720 --> 0:24:59.480 through this ship because you know, the bulk of the 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:01.679 people who can afford to do this and have the 0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.520 time our retirees. So if I'm on the Round the 0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:06.800 World cruise ship and I'm walking around, I see some 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:09.919 young folks and I and they're not and they're hanging 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:11.639 out with a dude name Andre to me out of 0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:15.119 here hauling them off red flag, red flag. Yeah, well 0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.960 you're not far from the truth on that. So these 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:20.560 new fast friends Molina is about and the two Italians, 0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:23.399 they're always hanging out and uh, they lays about the 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:25.760 pool together, they son tan together. And it turns out 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:29.200 the Italians seemed to also know Andre and the hard men, 0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:31.720 so they're like, you know, winking a nod from a 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:35.080 distance to them, so they're like, okay. They get confirmation 0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:37.760 when the boat goes to its next stop in Peru, 0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:39.639 and these guys all get off the boat and they 0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:42.600 go to a building and they make five different trips 0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.800 to load things onto the boat. So whatever it was 0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.520 that they needed to get it took them five trips together. 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:50.520 And they're being really hush hush about it, but they 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.640 get all this stuff loaded onto the boat. A souvenirs, yes, 0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:59.080 a lot of like statuary and various blankets, things that 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:01.720 would look good in a storefront. Yeah. So anyway, so 0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:06.119 we're in the import export exactly. Balina posts a photo 0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.600 from her Peru stop. She is and I kid you 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:11.520 not astride and a TV wearing a bikini in this 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:15.320 rugged background, and her caption reads, it was just really crazy, 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.120 Oh my god. Yeah. She also, by the way, added 0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:24.120 hashtags hashtag bucket list, hashtag quad after that, it's onto 0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:28.800 the Pacific. Now we're going. So they got a Chile 0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:31.880 and the coke boat is now on towards other exotic 0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:36.679 destinations more exciting and new. Come aboard. We've got the 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:41.400 coke for you. So they disembark in French Polynesia Molina. 0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.960 She decides to consecrate this whole fantastic magical trip with 0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:48.040 a tattoo, because, of course tattoo. So she chooses two 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.480 intersecting lines, which is a sign of protection. Firstal life 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:56.920 traveling exactly Jesus Zodiac killing. So she posted caption on 0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:59.080 her photo with her new tattoo, and it says, and 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:01.280 I quote used to be afraid to get out of 0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:03.160 my little town, and now I feel like I don't 0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:05.520 want to see that little town anymore because it's beautiful 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:09.080 out there and it is so worth it. So that 0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:12.840 post earned her a boatload of likes. D it's so 0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:15.040 worth it would come back to bite her in her 0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:18.640 sun tanned ass. So two days before the Sea Princess Ak, 0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:21.879 the coke boat arrives in Sydney Harbor, it's final destination. 0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.600 Isabel is alone when one of the Italians comes up 0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:26.399 to he and says, give me your room key. So 0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:27.800 she's like, what do you mean my room key? I 0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:29.200 don't why do you need my room key? He's like, 0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:32.119 you know, So she has to hand over a room key, 0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:33.879 not by her choice, but she hands it over. The 0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:37.160 Italian tells Isabel that the coke will be in your stateroom, 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:39.840 and uh, just put it in your luggage and don't worry. 0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:42.000 She's like, what do you mean. He's like, hey, don't worry. 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.240 No one in Australian Customs would ever check the bags 0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:46.640 of a pretty girl like you. She's like, you think. 0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:51.440 So the next day the ship arrives at Sydney Harbor. 0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:53.800 And now, Elizabeth, I'd like you to close your eyes 0:27:54.240 --> 0:28:01.800 and picture it. It's six August sixteen. You've been on 0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:04.280 board the Sea Princess now for seven weeks. You were 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:07.320 invited by your friend, the heir to the Fluffer Nutter fortune. 0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.240 It's been a beautiful cruise, but by this point you 0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:12.240 never want to see a buffet line or a cruise 0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:15.600 ship comedian ever. Again. You can't wait to set foot 0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:18.040 on Australian land. But you're also a bit of a 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.280 busy body, as we all know. Now. You take notice 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.560 when a squadron of police and customs officials streamlinded the 0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:26.720 ship as soon as you arrive in the Sydney Harbor. 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:30.560 You're like, goody, so you decide not to immediately disembark. 0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:32.520 But that's also not really your choice because the cops 0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:35.840 aren't letting anyone off the boat until they've inspected all 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:38.800 two thousand rooms and get to search them. So now 0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:40.600 you have to bide your time, So you stroll the 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.440 decks not worried about your room. You're looking for trouble, 0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:45.920 so you find it when you walk past cabin number 0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:48.400 P three one two. You turn when you hear a 0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:50.720 squadron of cops approaching you. But it's not just cops. 0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.520 There's also folks from the Australian Border Protection and they 0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.360 have dogs, so you're like, yes, dogs, what's it all 0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.880 the excitement about. Is there a stowaway on board? You 0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:02.080 wonder the big does the border cops have dogs with them? 0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:04.280 And these dogs are not bomb sniffing dogs. They look 0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:08.560 to be drug sniffing dogs. And just as you're standing 0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:10.560 there in the passageway of the cruise ship, the cop 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.080 dogs indicate what they're looking for is behind the door 0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:16.360 of cabin P three one two. Cops pound on the door. 0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:19.120 You wait, all eager to see whose cabin it is. 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:20.920 You have your suspicions. You're like, I bet it's one 0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.479 of those guys, and you're surprised when you see who 0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:26.600 opens the door. It's that pretty young brunette woman, Molina 0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:28.840 what's her name from Canada? You ate dinner with her 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:33.000 one at the casino. When she sees the cops at 0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:36.280 her door, her eyes widen. Your eyes widened in surprise. 0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:38.120 The cops don't ask to be let in. They just 0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:40.600 pushed past her and they start going and the dogs 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:43.640 quickly locate the lug and start barking and sounding. Tech 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.760 comes into the room. He checks using tracing technology to 0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:49.640 determine there is, indeed cocaine present on the luggage. Everyone 0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:51.400 was like, oh, this is it. You're like, oh, this 0:29:51.560 --> 0:29:53.719 is the best. And you see that pretty much. They 0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.920 go to open up the suitcase. They open it up 0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:59.280 and boom, you see, sitting right there on top is 0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:03.280 pretty much helos of cocaine, just of cocaine, specifically thirty 0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:07.239 five kilos of cocaine in American terms, that's seventy eight 0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:10.800 pounds of cocaine. That's like a small child of right. 0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:13.560 So when the cops und zip the bags, Billina completely 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:15.560 loses her cool. She's like, oh, that's not that's not mine. 0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:17.680 I don't know they got there. She becomes hysterical, she 0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:20.440 can't speak anymore. She starts crying. She falls in the ground, 0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:23.800 wailing and sobbing, and then starts to hyperventilate. You're like, oh, 0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:26.480 someone should get a bag, so you start pointing around. 0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:28.520 The cops don't know what to do because only bags inside. 0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:31.160 I'll have cocaine and them what should we do? Fast 0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:33.360 thinking that you are, you tell an officer grab one 0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:35.280 of the trash bags. They grab a trash bag. It 0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:37.440 hasn't been used. They hand it to Molina. She's able 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:39.600 to breathe and calm down. But you've kind of ruined 0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:41.880 your spot because now the cops still you're watching. They 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.280 slam the door in your face and that's the end 0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:47.760 of the scene. For that's wonderful. The youth ay as 0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:49.360 the door is slammed in your face, they look like 0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:54.720 such nice girls. Meanwhile, the Australian authorities continue their coke 0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.440 starch and they also locate Andre to means room he's 0:30:57.480 --> 0:31:00.680 cabin holds an additional sixty kilos of cocaine. That's about 0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:03.680 a hundred and thirty two pounds of cocaine. Now all 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:07.640 told thirty two that's two d and ten pounds of cocaine. 0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:11.280 That's equivalent to a whole Tom Arnold of cocaine like 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:14.040 he was. That was the first person I looked up 0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:17.280 online who there. Their weight was listed at two pounds. 0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:19.960 But I also found that when Roy Jones Junior weighed 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.240 in to fight Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Junior weighed in 0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:25.280 at two pounds, which means they were moving a heavyweight 0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:29.640 boxer amount of cocaine. Yeah. Now, Elizabeth, if you were wondering, Zarin, 0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.040 how much would a Roy Jones junior worth of cocaine worth? Oh, 0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.320 that's a good question, Elizabeth, And turns out the answer 0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:39.800 is twenty two million US dollars. Wow, that's in prices. 0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:45.640 Now after this little break out on this yeah, oh no, no, 0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:49.800 they were geting. She got six grand spending money. Yeah. Now, 0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:51.960 after this break I'll be back to tell you how 0:31:52.120 --> 0:32:17.160 all of this blows out. Okay, Elizabeth. So this coke 0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:21.480 bust is now Australian history. It is the largest in 0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.760 Australian history to date. This coke bust was so massive 0:32:24.840 --> 0:32:27.960 that interrupted the cocaine supply for the city of Sydney. Like, 0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:30.960 people couldn't find cocaine after this. They're all waiting for 0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.880 the coke boat to arrive. So interestingly, when the cops 0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.040 were like checking the luggage they found in Andrea to 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.840 means cabin, there was a name tag on one of 0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:41.920 the pieces of luggage and the name tag belonged to 0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:48.360 Michel exactly. So remember he said, you, oh, let's see 0:32:48.360 --> 0:32:50.960 two girls. Apparently there was some fight between him and 0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:52.880 Andre to me and or something, and he got pushed 0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:54.800 out and then he's like, push me out to watch this, 0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:56.960 and he got his revenge and took him all down. 0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:04.400 So it was every Sydney disco. So Melina Rubager and Isabelle, 0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:06.400 like Gas and Andre to mean, they all get arrested 0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:07.960 in Australia. And I don't know if you know this, 0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:10.600 but Austin law is not cool on cocaine. They're all 0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:14.280 facing life sentences for cocaine smuggling. Sarin, I have watched 0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:16.880 to catch a smuggler. Yeah, never mind. Then you know 0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:18.920 it's an Australia version that I don't need to tell 0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:21.600 you anything. I didn't know about this, but cocaine is 0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:26.160 also very expensive in Australia, Yeah, like really expensive. Like okay, 0:33:26.240 --> 0:33:28.800 I've traveled to Columbia and I was shocked at how 0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.440 cheap cocaine was down there. What did it like? Advertise 0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:34.440 it on supermarket? No. I talked to people who had cocaine. 0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:36.120 They were like, I have cocaine for so would you 0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:37.760 like to buy it? And I was like how much 0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.720 for the cocaine? But the Aprile cocaine it was like 0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:44.400 three to five dollars for April. Now, I'm not a 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.560 coke person. I didn't end up buying it, but the 0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:48.480 prices blew me away. I just wanted to know. I 0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:50.280 just like to know. But what were the prices on 0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:52.920 the street? Right? So at that time in America, just 0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.480 to keep this in perspective, and Graham would have been 0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.440 about fifty dollars and Aprile will be about a hundred 0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.760 and fifty dollars, it was three to five dollars for 0:33:59.840 --> 0:34:04.360 an eight ball cocaine and it was like pure exactly right. Now, 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:06.200 take that same logic and you go all the way 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.600 down to Australia, so far from the source that it 0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:11.840 is four to five times is expensive. So there was 0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:15.240 this blustering cocaine market growing there that the Hell's Angels 0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:18.800 and other people are running because it's so big that 0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.160 prices are amazing. So the sinealoa cartel and all these 0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:23.240 people are trying to get into the Australian market because 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:25.680 it's just worths so much more. So this was like 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:28.719 the beginnings of this be really being them going big, 0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:30.840 like how do we get it in the cruise ships 0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:33.040 go down to Australia. So they were pushing it through 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:35.880 cruise ships until Michelle Chias Song got a little petty 0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:38.560 and decided to finger the two Instagram influencers and ruined 0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:42.200 it for everybody. So now Sydney had no cocaine. I 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:44.719 wanted to check the prices, and so I didn't really 0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:47.560 I don't know how to check, you know, Dustralian drug prices. 0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:51.080 I was like, hey, am I calling Australia. No, there 0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:53.920 wasn't like a dark web price sheet I could check. 0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:56.479 But I did check Vice and vices usedly good about 0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:58.040 knowing this kind of stuff, and they said that a 0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:01.320 quilo of cocaine and I quote sell wholesale in Australia 0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:03.799 for two hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars to two 0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:07.320 hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars one kilo of cocaine, 0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:11.520 in comparison to an average wholesale price of fifty four 0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:14.480 thousand dollars in the US and eight in the UK. 0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:22.279 What's the Kirkland brand costco. It's Kaine, so you can 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:26.440 see why now the national Kirklane cocaine. The international criminals 0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:28.879 were so hyped on Australia, right. But I feel bad 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:32.520 for old Molina Isabelle because these two decided to trust 0:35:32.960 --> 0:35:35.040 the idiots who are trying to take advantage of this 0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:37.280 price difference, and they didn't even think to ask any questions. 0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:38.960 And I said, oh, yes, this will be fine, We'll 0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:41.759 go at an Instagram influence to be great. Now, if 0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.359 you stopped in Colombia and Peru, as you noted, you're 0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:47.360 gonna raise red flags to the cops, which is what happened. 0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:50.000 And I can attest that when I flew to Colombia 0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:52.280 and I flew back from Colombia, I've never been searched 0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.319 like that in my entire life. They opened up all 0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:56.680 of my luggage, took out all of my clothes, they 0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.080 were breaking souvenirs like they let him drop onto the 0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:01.399 airport floor. All of my clothes are on the airport floor. 0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:04.000 I had to repack the entire bag at the customs station. 0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:07.920 I've never anything like that. My friend Dave Korean gentleman. 0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.520 He was with me. We were going down to Columbia 0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:12.480 to shoot this movie. He comes back and he's got 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.960 a thing of protein powder, a giant tub like weightlifter 0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:19.879 protein powder, and he brought He's weird, so he brought 0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:22.280 with him and it was it's white powder. They opened 0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:24.440 it up, they look in and they're like, what's this. 0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:27.680 He's like protein powder. They're like okay to each other 0:36:27.840 --> 0:36:31.880 at customs. Yeah, so they didn't do anything, didn't even like, 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.200 didn't even like put put a finger in and give 0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:36.799 it like a little sniff or a whiff, not see 0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.399 if the stuff goes. No. Nothing. So I'm just saying, 0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:42.440 is it's a little bit uh. The security is based 0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:45.520 on red flags and not on actual like let's actually 0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:47.560 test this. So the girls they could have gotten away 0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:49.399 with this. I can see why they thought they could 0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:51.000 have and might be willing to bet you without Michelle 0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:54.160 Chias they would have gotten away with it, but they didn't. 0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:57.279 So the difference in all of this is that you know, 0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.640 my friend the uh, he looked innocent. They looked innocent, 0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:04.279 but their friends did not look In this case, I 0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.960 would have been the andre to me anyway, you get 0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:09.640 the point. So Malina Isabelle. They had to go before 0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:12.920 an Australian judge. The judge is not down with social media. 0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:16.399 She's not down with their whole lifestyle of Instagram influencing 0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:21.200 and bikini photos. So District Court Judge Kate Trail, she 0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:23.000 goes hard in the pain on these girls and she 0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.280 shames the two women for their life shaped by shame. 0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:31.440 She's like, just before announcing their verdict and sentencing this judge, 0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.520 she pulls out the chopper and just guns down the 0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:36.640 defendants with shame. And I you know, I believe in 0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:41.279 the shame based economy system, economy a shave based to 0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:44.719 so she says, and I coote she wanted to be 0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:46.880 the envy of others. I doubt she is now the 0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:50.359 envy of others. Now you're going to an Australian prison 0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.600 for seven years. How you like that? Okay? I added 0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:56.320 that last I was like hoping that she said directly, 0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:58.239 I was gonna do an all Australian accent just but 0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:00.400 that was like that. So the two of women, they 0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.359 get sentenced to seven and eight years in prison. Now 0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:07.080 isabel Lagas she's eligible for parole. In February one, Welcome 0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:10.200 back to freedom, Isabel My good question. I'm sure you're 0:38:10.239 --> 0:38:13.320 wondering the same thing, Elizabeth. Probably what about sugar Daddy? 0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:16.479 Yeah right, whatever happened to that eurosh dad? And he wasn't. 0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:19.680 He wasn't. She wasn't on the boat. No, remember he 0:38:19.680 --> 0:38:21.000 said I'd be on the boat and he wasn't. He 0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:24.400 just had the minder andre to me. So, despite the 0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:26.360 fact that it could have helped her in court, Molina 0:38:26.480 --> 0:38:29.719 refuses to name him. So does so does Isabel. Well, 0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:32.440 they're smart because he probably would have taken them and 0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:35.440 everyone that he threatened. Their families already always one of them. Now, 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.520 Molina said, during starts sentencing hearing quote, I feel like 0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:40.480 I would be endangered if I did mention his name, 0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:43.600 So she straight up says it. Now, there is a 0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:46.640 suspect that gets named by Canadian press outlets, and they 0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:48.920 suggested that sugar Daddy was a man who had once 0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.359 hired Isabelle to be the manager at a jewelry store 0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:54.719 he owned but is now since closed. Neither woman would 0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:57.640 Datus refuse to confirm who this guy was. So whatever, 0:38:57.680 --> 0:39:00.520 it doesn't really matter. Sugar Daddy, nothing bad hapens to him. 0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:05.320 What if it's Tom Hanks, that would be amazing stranger 0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:10.920 things Molina. She gets released from the Australian prison and 0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:13.360 then she sends up serving four years of her eight 0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:15.200 year sentence. She gets released like I don't know, good 0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:18.640 behavior whatnot. She gets deported back to Canada because Australia's like, 0:39:18.680 --> 0:39:21.600 get the hell outright, And now guess what she is? 0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:25.040 This is the one who is the influencer. Yeah, the 0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:29.360 primary influence, not the influencer. And she worked was a 0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:32.200 club scene. She worked in a jewelry store. She worked 0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:35.560 a couple of different places. But I don't know. She 0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:37.560 like a kindergarten. I'll give you a hint. She's been 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:42.799 to prison. Okay, she's now a published author. Man, I'm 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:44.880 telling you, if you want a book deal due time. 0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:48.000 Every author is just like rolling. Everyone goes to prisons, 0:39:48.040 --> 0:39:50.080 they come out like I got a story, tell people 0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:54.400 like a program. It's like, what that was a waste 0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:58.120 of money? She just got locked up, gone on a 0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:01.359 world tour. Exactly got some She was at the very 0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:03.560 end of the world tour. She got the tour. Yeah, 0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:05.880 good point. She'll always have those memories there. And you 0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:08.800 can't take those away. So her book that she wrote 0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:10.759 was a of course, about her brief time as an 0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:14.200 accidental tourist come international drug smuggler. I bet you, I 0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:18.160 bet you. It's really really well written. Oh, no ghostwriters involved, 0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:20.560 there was all her. She wrote it in prison on 0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:24.359 toilet paper. The book of the title is Psalms Filter, 0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:27.440 which in French or as close as I got is 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.319 unfiltered or without filter, which is of course a joke 0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:35.480 on the Instagram filters. You get it. So Amina says 0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:37.640 she learned a hard truth from her time in prison, 0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:41.759 and I quote, the lesson learned is far greater than 0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:43.799 the story itself, and I wanted to take the chance 0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:45.400 to tell it in my own words. I am so 0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:47.600 grateful and excited to finally be able to share with 0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:50.120 you the five years that changed the course of my life. 0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:54.879 And yes, that announcement was made on Instagram. She's back. Bitches. Wait, 0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:56.680 I want a list of all the people who bought 0:40:57.280 --> 0:41:00.960 all seven talked to her. I want to talk to him. 0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.320 Why did you do you know how to read? This 0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:07.040 is just going to go into pictures? Is this a prop? 0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.960 What is this? Did she post pictures from when it's 0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:14.640 actually just a coloring book. Instagram still live he got 0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:17.880 taken down. I had to find like internet archives stories 0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:21.000 that had clips from it. It would be so rich 0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:24.920 to look at those pictures, the comments, the comments from 0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:26.640 the people when it was still live, because they were 0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.600 able to say all sorts of stuff when she was 0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:32.200 first arrested, so people were just don'ting on them. It 0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:38.120 was a graveyard. So, Elizabeth, what's a ridiculous takeaway? Yeah, 0:41:38.960 --> 0:41:43.239 I think, um, a lot of things. One, it's good 0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:46.719 to be a nosy person, but the busy body part. 0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:48.759 You gotta bind your own business, but you gotta just 0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:54.160 like don't get involved. So if you're on a cruise ship, speculate, speculate, 0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:56.879 but keep it, you know what, your business, mainly because 0:41:56.880 --> 0:42:00.360 you don't want someone like sugar Daddy knifing you in 0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:02.120 your sleep and dumping you over the side of the 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:04.799 boat because you know too much, too much. I think 0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:08.680 that we need to start educating our youth about not 0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:14.600 being even about Yeah, I mean, like, honestly, this is 0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:20.200 a bad man. This is and just the whole Instagram 0:42:20.400 --> 0:42:23.960 influencer thing, like letting that override any kind of logic 0:42:24.040 --> 0:42:26.600 or reason, Like this guy is gonna this guy is 0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:29.800 gonna pay for this this tour twenty grand worth of 0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:33.479 a ticket, but give you six thousand spending spending money. 0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:36.640 And so really that's your pay for this. You're moving 0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:40.440 two million dollars worth of goods. You're going to be 0:42:40.560 --> 0:42:42.759 on the hook for it. Oh my god, girl, you're 0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:45.359 not even getting one person who cares. I don't get 0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:49.200 the whole Instagram. I mean, I'm old, there's that, but like, 0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.919 I don't care if someone wants to go with their 0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:54.080 rump hanging out on a beach and take it, I 0:42:54.120 --> 0:42:55.960 don't care. Yeah, I don't think that's for you. And 0:42:56.120 --> 0:42:58.600 like the people who are like sipping you know, like 0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:03.600 a cactail and it's always like ridiculous blended coffee drink 0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:05.520 that has all this stuff. You know, you look at 0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.080 and you're like, you didn't even take a sip of that, 0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:08.920 you like post and you threw it away because you 0:43:08.920 --> 0:43:13.319 wouldn't consume that many calories and carbohydrates in your entire life, 0:43:13.400 --> 0:43:15.560 let alone in one beverage. The only thing I think 0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:17.560 that people actually eats the black ice cream. I think 0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:20.960 they do eat, maybe, but then it's like they're all 0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:28.000 done up and they're put who cares? Who cares? You 0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:30.320 know what I want? I want to I want good chuckles. 0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:37.480 So well, my ridiculous takeaway. Once again, thank you for asking. Yeah, 0:43:37.520 --> 0:43:41.040 you're totally welcoming. There are so few surprises in this story, 0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:43.480 right right. It's just like once you get past the 0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:46.440 broad rushstrokes of Cokeboa and Instagram influencer and you're a 0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:48.799 trash pimp, you just get down to like human nature 0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:51.560 one and what every every development? Oh of course, well, 0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:55.680 of course that followed beef followed up. I just don't 0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:58.319 get why, you know, I guess the cruise lines want 0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:00.520 to like turn the turn a blind die on it 0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:03.239 because it's a revenue stream to have these people on there. 0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:08.680 But it's like when you have young influence. This is 0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:13.279 again I just I don't get it, because I still 0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:15.919 can't get my head around how these people make money 0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:21.040 in terms of as it's sponsored a certain point and 0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:23.080 you have enough people who follow you and like your stuff, 0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:25.360 companies will say hey, hold this product, and it's you 0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:27.160 get paid to do it. It's the same as anything 0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:29.839 subscriptions or can you get a crowd to follow? Really 0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.040 suspicious of that, And so if I see these young 0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:35.000 people and then those two Italian cats. You know, this 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:38.840 is just this is red Flag city over there. Just 0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:42.120 let all the retired folks who just are they're not 0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:45.120 They don't watch enough PBS to be on a Viking 0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:49.640 river cruise, so they're on this round the world princess job. Like. 0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:51.719 Let them do their thing on their own. They don't 0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:55.000 need you coking it up. I thought it was brilliant. 0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:58.239 It is. I won't even lie. I was like, man, 0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:02.160 that's a good plan. It's a good plan, but also 0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:06.759 not a good plan in all honesty that it contains multitudes. 0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:09.840 It's human nature. One oh one.
