The speaker discusses the importance of having frothers with progressive switches to avoid mess when making drinks.
Small town struck up a deal with Pablo Escobar
In a small rural coastal town in North Carolina, the community struck up a deal with Pablo Escobar to be part of an import-export scheme, smuggling contraband into the mainland. The majority of the community members agreed to participate in exchange for large sums of money. This underground operation lasted for several years before being shut down.
The involvement of the Ario Speedwagon plane
During the operation, the Ario Speedwagon plane, owned by the band of the same name, was used to transport drugs from South America to the small coastal town in North Carolina. When the plane was apprehended by the DEA, it was filled with quaaludes and marijuana, originating from Barranquilla, Colombia.
One man's resistance against the illegal operation
Amidst the majority who participated in the illegal operation, there was one man named Roger Morton who stood against it. Despite his life and the lives of his family being threatened, he refused to be a part of the drug smuggling operation. His resistance caused tension within the community, but he remained firm in his stance.
The lasting impact of the operation on the community
After the drug operation was exposed, the community experienced division and strain as families and friends turned against each other. However, with the operation shut down, the community eventually reconciled and returned to being close-knit. The town moved forward, maintaining its annual traditions and festivals while keeping the past behind them.
