I'm a producer and this format alteration of taking an interview in the field and have you comment to tie the story together in-studio is really good. I know it's a break from your show format, but I just wanted to comment that it really looks good and allows me to continue to learn about the business I never had the guts to get into. Well done guys!

This video contains false information concerning Alex Montanez's ownership or involvement with Mattress Kings LLC. I want to emphasize that Alex Montanez was never an owner or officer of Mattress Kings LLC. Mr. Montanez worked as a sales associate in our company from 2016 to 2019, but he is no longer employed with us as he was terminated from his position. As a responsible content creator, it is crucial to ensure that the information you present to your audience is factual, supported by evidence, and accurately reflects the reality of the situation.While it is understandable that mistakes or unintended dissemination of false information can occur, it is important to take responsibility for any errors and take immediate steps to correct them to avoid any confusion or harm to your viewers, or to a local family-owned business like ours.

I lived near a private airport in South Florida. And it was a running joke that if a plane crashed and caught fire it was overloaded with cocaine. And if it crashed and didn’t catch fire it ran out of fuel. There were many occasions the neighborhood kids would get to the house first and steal as much of the cargo as possible before the cops or fire trucks got there.

My great grandparents used to own a small restaurant in the Florida Keys way back in the day and he told me once that in the late 70’s they’d sit on the back deck and just watch all the planes fly in everyday. They were not very discreet about it when they first started. If you ever go scuba diving around the Keys there are a ton of old small engine airplanes at the bottom of the ocean that were ditched or crashed lol.

Growing up in the 561 we used to idolize these dudes, they were legendary, ive heard these stories 3rd, 4th hand 1000 times. Then Co.cowboys dropped and we heard it all 1st hand. I cant even count the times ive watched scarface doing coke just like alex lol. And the police are actual cool, yeah they're dirty af BUT if you're hustling and not stealing or hurting innocent people they will usually take your sht and let you go. Ive been "detained" 15-20 times, but my record is spotless. I really miss the 90s and then the pills in the 20000s was a whole nother world. Palm beach county/miami/dade was absolutely insane, it felt like living in a different country. Great podcast dude, thanks for the run down memory lane.

His father was an Enforcer for Colombian Cartels but when he seen one of the rivals who shot at his own son, he said I’mma teach him a lesson by going and punching him? That doesn’t add up to me. Also, some dirty cops searched his house and found nothing at all other than a gun in his car? I’m not buying this story.

I knew some parts were a little fishy in his story but I caught a lie he told. He said his dad was in the car when Miguel Perez stabbed the fat Columbian kingpin (can’t remember his name) inside the airport. His dad wasn’t there at all. Rivi was in the car and witness Miguel get tackled feet away from the getaway car by police. Rivi said Miguel looked at him with a help me look and Rivi took off driving. Soo idk what other lie this guy told in his story. But his family tree is definitely 100% gangster to the core
