This chapter recounts an unexpected visit from the FBI to the podcast studio, centered around an investigation of a controversial phone linked to Pablo Escobar. The speakers describe the tension-filled atmosphere and their humorous yet alarming encounter with the agents who inquired about the dubious marketing strategies employed by the phone company. Through their surreal experience, they delve into themes of deception, legal implications, and the absurdity of celebrity endorsements tied to this infamous product.
Welcome back to another bonus episode! This week we're doing a story time episode where we tell a bunch of the funny/weird things that have happened while working here at MKBHD. We start off with how the Autofocus name came to be, that time the FBI came to visit, and Marques meeting an F1 star and not knowing it. We'll be back Friday with a regular episode but we hope you get some joy out of this one in the meantime!
