EP.5: Adaptations & Misconceptions - A conversation with Hector Berrellez

Feb 9, 2021

Join Alan and Joey as they discuss their weeks, the vaccine, DiGiorno pizza and everything in between. Joining their conversation this week is a highly decorated and retired DEA Agent - Hector Berrellez. You may not know him by name, but we’re sure you’ve heard of the hit Netflix series NARCOS:MEXICO! The series follows DEA Agent Kiki Camarena as he goes undercover and eventually wipes out one of the largest marijuana plantations in history...or so we have been led to believe. Hector Berrellez knows more than anyone about Kiki’s kidnapping, torture and murder...and he’s sharing his side of the story. In this episode, he reveals all the ways in which Netflix got it wrong, despite his consultation meetings with the studio, and how both Mexico and the US have been perpetuating a lie for decades. His story was featured in the hit Amazon docu-series THE LAST NARC, and his new memoir THE LAST NARC: A MEMOIR BY THE DEA’S MOST NOTORIOUS AGENT is a riveting tale of his life and how he took over “Operation Leyenda” - the mission to solve the murder of Kiki Camarena, and bring his killers to justice. Hector is a fascinating man who has seen more than the average person could ever imagine - and he’s here to tell us about it. As always, we have a cocktail of the week! This week, enjoy the EL FUEGO EN MI SANGRE, a hangover cure that is also a delectable meal...you have to see it to believe it. Find the full recipe and more on @twoguysfromhollywood on Instagram, and @TGFHPodcast on Twitter and Facebook. Cheers!
