Surviving Changes Podcast

How to Outwit a Cult of Mason Grifters? Stick around...

Heidi Hunt Season 3 Episode 31

The line between safety and danger can dissolve in an instant. What began as a flourishing tour boat business in beautiful Cabo San Lucas rapidly descended into a desperate fight for survival against a network of Mason-affiliated grifters with dangerous cartel connections.

When a seemingly friendly couple wearing Zag shirts appeared in my life, I immediately recognized the setup. These weren't random expatriates looking for friendship – they were scouts for a sophisticated operation that targeted tourists and long-term visitors. Their system was brilliant in its simplicity: rent properties equipped with hidden cameras, capture compromising behavior, then blackmail or rob their victims before forcing them out.

Playing along while secretly gathering evidence became my daily reality. While Stan, a 33rd-degree Mason, regularly invaded my apartment stealing alcohol and manipulating my food, he had no idea my old phones were recording his every move. When Jill and Brian offered me "security cameras" connected to their account, they never suspected I had installed my own independent system.

The dangerous game escalated when I confronted Stan with video evidence. Rather than backing down, the group enlisted my trusted business associate Nacho – a man I'd helped for years. His offer to connect me with cartel contacts at the police station seemed like salvation until he mysteriously "lost" the critical evidence after filing reports. The betrayal became undeniable when he arrived at my door with unseen accomplices waiting in the parking lot.

My escape required abandoning nearly everything, paying $6,000 for an Uber to take my dog and me across Mexico, from Cabo to La Paz, by ferry to Mazatlan, and eventually to Cancun where we caught a flight to Puerto Rico. Those days of silent travel, unable to communicate with my driver due to language barriers, represented the thin line between freedom and becoming another disappeared expatriate.

Speaker 1:

Hello, there, I'm Heidi, and this is the Surviving Changes podcast. Alright, so we just let the Deep State know where they were at and we are never, ever being bothered directly, not directly, by them again. Never to break into the house, never to flip over any pictures, not being called anywhere. No bullshit like that. They're done. They're watching, but they're always watching. They're watching you. They're just watching me with both eyes and you with probably one, so there's no real difference there. And Now I know that for sure've got the fbi watching too, because I made enough of a stink when that all happened at the irs that, um, whether it's the good fbi or the bad, we already know that the deep state, the bad part of the f? Fbi, is already there, right, but as far as, like, I don't know if I have files in the FBI. I don't know. I know that in Washington I certainly do, but I don't know how deep that actually goes. Nobody's going to know until that lawsuit and we're looking at it with our own eyes to discover it, and that will hopefully be very soon. If you want to help support that, I've got some caps in Amazon, also on abstract art by HeidiHuntcom.

Speaker 1:

Trump just filed his RICO yesterday. It's a great time. We're ready to get started. Just need a little bit of cash to make sure that we can't be buried. So, anyway, not too worried about those guys anymore. I know that they're not going to clean stuff up. They can only clean up so much stuff. The people in Washington have to clean up the rest, right. And also, remember, I have a fucked up auto theft charge in California still. I'm still running around with the warrant on my head this whole time, and so don't think that I mean you lose a little bit of sleep on that, right? Does that stuff transfer to Mexico? How's that actually work? I don't know, but they've given me the. So far everything's been okay, and part of that might actually be. I want to take one step back because it's something that I was going to do as its own little episode. But you'd understand really quick why.

Speaker 1:

I think I kind of had an advantage in Cabo from the beginning with um cartel members. Now that flip-flopped a little bit here. In a little bit I'll tell you about um, because of these fucking gringo cults, people, these masons. But um, when I first got there, uh, I was driving downtown to go see the little sea lion. Um, that's down there and there's, um, there's a famous sea lion, and so me and Paloochie would go see it every night at sunset. It was free, um, and so we ended up getting pulled over. There's a little speed trap right down there by the marina.

Speaker 1:

And I got pulled over and I knew I had this warrant and so I didn't want to um, give the I didn't know if, like it, transferred to Mexico. I didn't know any of that. Remember, when I came across the border, that was a cartel border agent and I just gave him hot sauce or bought his hot sauce and sunny and honey and got in. So I don't know what this shit said. Um, and now I'm pulled over, but I have my australia driver's license on me too, and so I pull it out. Now it's expired. And this cop says to me um, you know, give me your information. And so I did have insurance on the vehicle. I had that.

Speaker 1:

As I came across the border, I door dashed for that right. But then I gave him my expired Australian driver's license and he's like you. Just that was illegal what you just did there, because it's there's one ways down there and it's very easy to get screwed up going as you're turning in and out of there. They do it on purpose so then they can sit there and do like what they're doing with me. But so I give him my Australian driver's license.

Speaker 1:

He says, and this is illegal too. He says, what are you doing here? And I'm like, well, I'm staying in my van, I'm helping Charlie at Cabo Jack's. What I said, the apartment's in back I'm staying, I'm living in this van. And he looked in the van. He could see behind Cabo Jack's and I'm helping Charlie with some of his tours and stuff. He said, charlie at Cabo Jack's. I'm like, yes, Charlie at Cabo Jack's. He says, okay, fine, go. And so the cartel runs that town. But Charlie has an in with them, right.

Speaker 1:

And so, um, it was okay. He just gave me my shit back and let me go. He didn't even try to shake me down for the normal 500 pesos that they tend to do in those situations. Uh, maybe more pesos. But when I saw it happen to other people and they were Mexicans, that David guy he got shook down right there too and he had to pay 500 pesos and give the guy free tours for his family, and so, anyway, it just kills me.

Speaker 1:

But so I know I've been watched by a lot, of, a lot of different agencies, right, and so now it seems like and I finally got a little bit of money that I'm trying to waste so I don't have to pay taxes and not waste. But they're legitimate business purposes, but I'm not trying to make money on them, I'm not working that hard to make them successful. I already know what a problem that is you do good and then you make more and then you have to spend more. It's a vicious circle. When you make that much money when you're dealing with the IRS, so, um, anyway, it seemed like a perfect time money when you're dealing with the IRS, so, um, anyway, it seemed like a perfect time to fuck with these masons that had been screwing with me for years. And now I realize it's because the sheriff's office in Yakima the Yakima fucking sheriff's office got me hooked up on there when I defended well, when I I guess I did defend him Elvis Wayne Wilson was shot through the heart by Yakima police department and Yakima sheriffs were there and they're the fucking masons. And so that's when that actually that started. I knew it was those guys a long time ago and I kept saying this to some of my friends. I'm like I think I pissed off the Masons and they laughed at me Because, like, then they're like my grandpa was a Mason, what are you talking about? I'm like, no, I'm telling you. But so now we've got Larry. We know for sure, even if those guys aren't, they're hanging out with all of them, the people that have the. We're gonna get these guys, we know. I know that they're gonna try to walk me into a trap, right, and so I'm going to return the favor, and I do, and it's fucking awesome.

Speaker 1:

So, as I'm um, one of the things that I did, as I'm um, trying to use this money so I can break even on the tour business was I started what was called Sound Up Sunday and all it was is I really love music. You can hear it in the background. I have these podcasts. I'm sure I gotta have it. I gotta be listening to it, and being out on the water and listening to live music is awesome, and so I would rent one of the boats in town, one of the bigger catamarans, then pay a band to go out there and then sell tickets and everybody would float. We'd do the tour, um and a concert, and it was freaking awesome, um, but it was also expensive. I couldn't get anybody in town.

Speaker 1:

Cabo Cabo businesses they're not happy to see an American, and especially a American woman doing good, it was always going to be. That's just a cultural thing. It has nothing to do. I mean, it has to do with me, but it would have to do with anybody like me. I understand that Puerto Rico is the same way, and so I was having a difficult time, like getting it going consistently. I do it every Sunday, but I couldn't get a consistent boat, I couldn't get a consistent band. Um, everybody was trying to like triple charge me, get free advertisement. Um, just, you know, generally be shitty like business people are. So, um, that's what. Generally be shitty Like business people are. So, um, that's what I was getting and I was getting ready to stop doing this.

Speaker 1:

But the day that I was going to be my last tour, so, um, this group down in Cabo I don't know if they're all Masons. I know that the leader of these, this kind of cult coven thing down there, um, they're kind of bosses are Masons. I don't know if all of the other people are, but they've been down there for a long time. If you've had friends that you're like. They've gone to Cabo every year and then they went missing one year. Uh, it was these guys, these guys. I is these guys, these guys. I know that well. I don't know. They killed one of their friends, t, but I do know through a whole lot of stuff that she had a lot of money. She died under mysterious circumstances While some of them were there. They walked over her body to get the cigarettes and then called one of their friends and then the police came.

Speaker 1:

Just some weird stuff. Don't trust them, and I'll do some. We'll do some actual podcasts on how they run that scam, because they've got it down a lot. They've got a couple little couples, essentially, and then some single people, and they all have their role. They're quite skilled at it, but because I knew it was coming this time, I'm loving it. These guys are committing crimes. They think they're going to get away with it Because I'm pretty sure they don't have good intentions for me. They're at least going to make me run. If not, I just disappear like some of the others. Either way, I'm getting a lot of information from these guys to use in a lawsuit, like a lot, and so I'm going in knowing they're watching me, but I'm watching them watch me. It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1:

And so the very last day, this couple that's, uh, you know, very cool and cobble everybody wants to be their friend. Jill and brian. Um, they're part of all of these groups. Well, they happen to live right around the corner from my bottle office, uh, and they know that I'm big zag fans. They I had never met them before this day, but these guys roll up on this very last day. They're wearing their Zag shirts, friend me and just be so sweet. I'm like all right, this is it, this is it right here, this is the game, let's let them play the game and let's catch them in it. And so that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 1:

And so one of the big problems, um, with some of these situations, like with Larry, I go have a lot of fun with these guys. I know who they are and what they're doing, like with Larry and those guys I didn't know until after the car accident. But you end up inevitably, and the same thing happens with them, they end up liking me and it becomes a problem after. You know after and I, even though I know what they're doing, we have fun and we laugh together in these instances, as they're trying to shake me down, and now I know I'm shaking them down back, and so it's really, it's for me. At this point I'm not scared, I'm not losing anything. This is fucking fun.

Speaker 1:

And I finally got the upper hand against these pieces of shit, and so Brian and Jill pop into my life. They're my new godsends. Now I'm not down and out now, remember, they want me to feel that way and that's another reason why, like, they have a lot and I don't have a lot down there, but I'm certainly not hurting, I'm paying for that, I'm doing fine. But part of them is they want everybody to be less than them, and so I don't know how much of this had to do with the role that they were playing and just who they are as people, um, but so I let them. But so they introduced me to the masons.

Speaker 1:

Finally, right, vick and stan, and stan is a 33 degree and their parents, um, are, uh, were all big masons, both vick and stan. I personally think. If you look at I looked at some of their when they were gone. I looked at some of their pictures and stuff. They're married, but I think they're probably kissing cousins when you see some of those pictures from early on. I don't know, someone should take their DNA, but so Jill's grandma is Eastern Star and I don't remember if she said her mom was or not, but so they're all in way deep right and they're in these groups called the Cabo Crazies and Cabo Skulls.

Speaker 1:

Um, just gross and creepy really, uh, but they, they play off like they um help the people in town, like they'll do little fundraisers, shit like that, um, all the time, uh, stuff like that. But so, um, I'm just killing time now and I've got the. I've got the real big fuckers off me, um. And so, anyway, I go and meet this Vic and they have this two-story house that they Airbnb out or rent out or whatever. Essentially, what they do is they have it all camera'd up and so they'll have people move up there and then they'll get dirt on them Like it's Cabo, right, so people come and do things that they only do in Cabo.

Speaker 1:

Or like the person before me, his name was jim and he liked little boys and so, um, they got him on video and then they stole under his bed his four grand, and there was nothing he could do about it but move out. And so he did. He moved out and he now just lives on cruise ships. So I don't know what all they did to him. Um, but so they'll run the scam. But with me I wasn't doing anything. I don't do anything anyway, but I especially I know what.

Speaker 1:

I know the shakedown before it's happening, and so it's fun for me to watch them each step of the way, thinking they're playing me a little bit more right, and so, um, so I start out with, like cameras, and that I don't. I'm the only one that knows from the very beginning, and I don't hook them up on their Wi-Fi. They've got this stuff set up to where the electricity's backwards, to where the tenants are paying their electricity. Um, like these guys are, they're, um, grifters, real grifters, uh, like just for the fun of it. As a matter of fact, stan would call it. Oh, what was it? He had an actual term for it, I'll remember, but it was essentially just fucking with people for the sole purpose of being entertained by hurting people. They're just gross.

Speaker 1:

And so they knew that I was Airbnb-ing out the top right and so on, the first people that were there, I had the fridge and they had their own little shelf in the fridge and I had my own shelves in the fridge and I had everything just fucking packed I had just moved in, plenty of cash, remember and Stan keeps coming in stealing all of the alcohol and shit like that and blaming the Airbnb people, and so he's having so much fun just with this right here, and so I'm playing along. I'm like Stan, I think they're taking all my stuff and he's just laughing and laughing having a good time. Hold on one second, okay, there? Um, sorry, I'm listening to Amy, if you couldn't tell, um, she's making me laugh, um, anyway, so and then.

Speaker 1:

So one of the things that these so they're like witches, I'm sure of it um, warlocks cook. It's a coven, and one of the thing that they do is they fuck with your food. Well, given my background, I'm already, um, very, very familiar with being careful with what food you eat, how you take food, all of that. And so, stan, he'll come upstairs and they also have the. There's big sliding glass doors up up front and he's got them to where they can't be locked, and it's not supposed to matter, because the only people that could get in there was them and of course, they wouldn't get in there because they're upstanding people right.

Speaker 1:

And so every time I would leave to go do tour stuff, pay the vendors, stuff like that, he would come in and one of the things when we'll read the manual because the Deep State and these Mason people, they all use the same training manual. It's the same stuff, um. And so stan would come in, um, take alcohol out, whatever, um, and then he would put food in for me, and so I learned that at first he was like testing to see, because I'd come home and there'd be food in my fridge, and so he was just waiting to see if I was going to say something. It was also a way that he could get in and check out the house and then if he got caught in there he could say, hell, I was just bringing you up some food, like he's being nice. But what he didn't know was at that point I actually didn't have any cameras up yet, I just had my phones. I have like all my old phones and so you don't have to put those on Wi-Fi, but I could just record the sounds. So I know for a fact that Stan's in my house when I leave. He's walking. I can hear it on the phone that he doesn't see and know about. So I'm not going crazy, I know that. Um, so I'm not going crazy, I know that, but I'm.

Speaker 1:

I'm acting like with Jill and those guys, because one of the things that they do is they try to like, pretend like they've divided so they can conquer, and so they talk shit about Stan a little bit here, friends with Vic, but they'd still talk about Vic, um, you know. And so, um, when I'm telling them this I think I think stan's coming in here they're like oh, we've got an extra set of cameras, heidi, we'll bring them to you. And so these guys are having a lot of fun with me, um, vicky, stan, brian and jill and who knows who else in the group that they're laughing about. But specifically, these guys are having a fuckload of fun, thinking that they're getting me when I'm actually recording them, knowing exactly what they're doing. And so Jill and Brian say I'm like I'm going to have to get some cameras. And they're like no, no, don't get cameras, don't get cameras. We got extra ones, we'll bring you extra ones.

Speaker 1:

So they bring me some of their cameras, but it has to be hooked up on their account, right? And so I use these cameras for a while they're like did you catch anything? Did you catch anything? And, um, when I would catch stuff, they would glitch it out right, literally erase it. And I don't know if it was Vicky and Stanley racing it because they had control of the internet, or if it was Brian and Jill because they had control of the account, but it would catch him and I would see it while I'm gone and by the time I'd get home it would be deleted. And so now they're having a lot of fun with this.

Speaker 1:

But what they don't know is that when I hooked that up because I knew that was going to have a name on the Wi-Fi I hooked that up because I knew that was going to have a name on the Wi-Fi is, when I hooked up my other cameras, um, under the same name. And so when they saw on the Wi-Fi, they're like ha ha ha, we can see your security cameras. They didn't realize that they saw Jill and Brian's security cameras, yes, um, but they were also seeing my cameras and they didn't realize that. And so for me because they're acting nice to my face, all of them and I know this is I have video now of what's going on. I have video of what's going on.

Speaker 1:

And so, anyway, we keep playing this game, playing this game, this cat and mouse game, for a while. And then, uh, finally, Vicky goes back to help her mom, back to the States, and so it's just me and Stan. I'm like, well, this is a good time to blow this shit open. And so I leave, um, come back and pull out on my video. I'm like, I got you, stan, I fucking I finally got you. And he's like what? And so we went through this. Um God, I scared the living shit out of him that night. Um, I told him how it was going to be, how it was going to go. Oh man, uh, cause I caught him dead on and I had the video right there, right, and I had it on a disc. And so I'm like, oh, I got you now and I did. But look, I also don't want to start. And I told them I don't want to start all of this with you guys. I know you're well known in town. I don't want to do this, unless I have to do this. And so I was just using it as a way to hopefully keep them at bay. Kind of like happened with the Deep State, right, but it didn't. All it did was make it more of a challenge to them, right? And so remember way back to how I got into the tour business to begin with, when David and Nacho had come over to the house and I helped them get their viator set up, and then I ended up starting my own viator with Mark, and that's how we started the tour business.

Speaker 1:

Well, me and Nacho stayed, I believed, friends, like when COVID came and stuff. I gave him food, I did all kinds of stuff. I didn't realize until he ended up buying a condo next to where I was living, um, how I knew he had cartel associates. But if you live in cabo and you have for a long time and you have a business there, you have no choice. Uh, you have a. I I didn't realize.

Speaker 1:

Nacho presented his business like a fairly decent business. Dude, we were doing business together, um, and I really liked his family. Me and his kids had secret handshakes, um, I cared for them a lot, uh, and I would go out there, like me and juan me. My friends would just not sure, let us have a fuckload of fun out there too, right in the razors and shit like that, with no rules, um. And so we had a great time, but one of the great times we had out there, I took this gringo group and we had a beach party, a private beach party, and Nacho held the party. And at that point me and Nacho got in a fight that night and I'm looking back through pictures and I'm like, oh, this is when that happened. And Nacho ended up telling me a little bit later, not meaning to, but so Nacho and those guys started working together as of that night with the gringos.

Speaker 1:

Now, I don't think they were necessarily working against me, but they started doing tours together and things like that, right and so. But I I would never have thought that Nacho would turn on me for even money. Um, even with everything I went through, I didn't expect that of Nacho. Um, I didn't expect that of Nacho. I thought he was better than that and I thought that we had been through a lot. But so I don't know if these guys were setting me up from the very beginning or if it came later, because I don't think Nacho was talking to Vicky and Stan. They didn't come out there, but Jill and Brian did, and the rest of the gringo people did came to that party out there, and so they started working with Not Show, essentially through they have their own little, through the, and Cabo Crazies and the Cabo Skulls and stuff. They do a lot of tours with those groups. And so Nacho started getting that business right.

Speaker 1:

But I didn't realize things had changed with me and Nacho as much as they apparently had. And so I'm saying to Nacho these fuckers are breaking into my house, what do I do? What do I do? What do I do? And Nacho's like give my friend at the he's got a cartel friend at the Cabo Cop Shop. He's like pay my friend some money and they'll go shake him down, don't worry about it, we'll take care of it. I'm like, look, I got video, I got all this. And so Nacho's like I'll help you.

Speaker 1:

And Nacho even helped me move out of that place and move over to. Nacho has condos, he has the tour business, he has a lot of different stuff in Cabo. And so he had little apartments that he was building and he's like look at, as I'm building the other ones, you can live in these ones for free. So I went over there and I was living in those until I was finding another place or deciding what I wanted to do. And it was actually at that point where Pellucci kept saying mom, mom, and he was pretty sick. He was like Mom, let's go back to Puerto Rico. And so I had been wanting to do that for a while.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, cabo got rough to live in after COVID. Like they started running out of water for the locals. Only the resorts got it. We would have to buy all of our water and stuff. Just a very frustrating situation if you actually live there and you're not a resort. So we were thinking about going back to Puerto Rico anyway.

Speaker 1:

But so Nacho's like oh, I'll help you, I'll help you. And so I go move over to Nacho's and he says he's helping me. But he's acting strange. And he tells me so I have this on a video. He on this little chip, right, he thinks I only have one little piece. He's like give it to me and we'll go make a report. They'll go shake him down, maybe get him to leave town, who knows whatever, bring him up on charges. I'm like okay, as long as they don't have to live here and deal with the cobble skulls and the cobble crazies, because I got a feeling those fuckers really are crazy from what I've seen. And he's like all right, so we go in and we make the police report, and they take the police report and they actually keep it going through the system. They contact me later.

Speaker 1:

We go, look at the house, go through the house, but Nacho keeps acting weirder and weirder and weirder as this goes down and he asks for what he thinks is the only um sd card of stan, and so I give it to him. He says he needs it for the new prosecutors coming in and they're getting why you do stuff and just the way he's going about it's weird. And nacho had given me so he had been deported after doing time in Texas for conspiracy for auto theft and so he's already he's done RICO charges himself right, essentially conspiracy, and then he got kicked out of the country. That's why he's in Mexico. He's a pretty white dude as far as like his walk and talk and all that. As a matter of fact, those guys, charlie and those guys, I believe, had to learn Spanish when they got deported, so that was their situation. But so I'm not being honest with Nacho right now either. But he wants to go back to Texas and he wants to be able to take his kids to um disneyland and he's like can you help me with that? Can you help? He knew I was a lawyer before. He's like can you help me with that? Is there paperwork? And so there was um, and I'm like, hey, send me all of these papers of yours and I'll start working on this paperwork, which I was going to help him. But I also needed his case numbers and shit like that in case shit went down with this other deal. And so he bought it and he sent them over to me. And as this thing got farther, he ends up telling me he lost the SD card and there's nothing that they could do.

Speaker 1:

Well, by that point in time the Cabo Crazies were like swirling me around and it wasn't fun. I didn't think they were going to hurt me. Swirling me around and it wasn't fun. I didn't think they were going to hurt me, but they were making it as uncomfortable for me as possible in cabo and um. I knew at that point in time that nacho had sold me out. I was positive that he had sold me out. Uh, he said he lost that sd. And so at that point in time I knew for sure I was going to move. I was not going to Because at this point in time there was the cartel guy up in Cabo that was supposedly on my side.

Speaker 1:

I paid him to be on my side, but then they all lose the SD and everything else. I think what happened is they went over because there was a day they were supposed to go shake down Stan and Vic, take their shit, write up some other stuff and then kick them out of town. Essentially was what they told me they were going to do. I think they did go over there. I think they did shake them down. I think Vic and Stan had other money in other places and bribed. These guys Said look, look, take this money, take this other stuff, and they end up leaving town shortly thereafter. And we will leave town, uh, but go after heidi, or at least don't finish these charges. And so I have all the paperwork, the charges on him. There were charges filed and I'll put those for the subscribers in TikTok. You can actually see the paperwork. I think I know where it is. I'll look for it tomorrow morning.

Speaker 1:

But I was so fucking mad at that point that I said to the cartel guy I want help from you and if you don't help me, I'm going to make an international trouble over this. And after I said that I realized that wasn't very smart at all. Here I was living in nacho's house and he probably is sold me out with all of these guys and these cartel people. They're dangerous, um, and so I immediately started packing. Uh, nacho ended up coming to knock at my door the next day saying, hey, we can get this taken care of. Come with me now. And I'm like sorry, nacho, I already have this house booby trapped. If someone comes in, I'll take the charges. Um, I am going to head out of here, and I don't know when, but I'm going to head out. I'm going to look for plane tickets. I told them I was looking for plane tickets and they know all the flights and they know all of that stuff. So they're looking at the airport and he's like, oh okay, you're not coming out now. I'm like, no, I'm not coming out.

Speaker 1:

And I could see him looking over in the parking lot, and so I don't know if Vic and Stan was over there, or the cops were over there, or all of those guys were over there. But somebody was over there. He was selling me out, right then and there. No doubt about it. But he also knows that I'm a crazy motherfucker. I keep bells, I keep, he knows I if I said that was booby trapped and anybody who comes to that door is gonna die.

Speaker 1:

Um, he believed that and I'm like I'm not unlocking this, I'm not doing nothing, not, joe, I'll take the charges. Someone's come in here, I'll take the charges. And he laughed. He said something to them in Spanish, laughed and took off, and so I immediately called some people that I could trust in Cabo and said look, I need to get the fuck out of here. You can have my stuff. But Nacho just sold me out I don't know if it was to the cartel or to the gringos, but he did. And he thinks I'm looking for plane tickets and I'm going to be gone next Monday and I need to be gone tonight.

Speaker 1:

And they came and got me. They took me and Pellucci to their house to spend that night. I had packed up just enough to fit in a car. Essentially they had one of their friends. Now these guys think I'm flying out on Monday when I have more money. There's no way I'm waiting for all of these fuckers till Monday. Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? No, fucking way, I was gone that night I was asleep, gone that night Nobody saw me leave With just enough stuff my work, stuff that I could work and everything else.

Speaker 1:

And so these friends she didn't speak any English but they hooked up an Uber for me. It cost me six grand, but we Ubered. So they took me from Cabo up to the ferry that goes essentially from La Paz across over to Mazatlan. So we Ubered up there, then we took the ferry across and then we drove. It took several days. We had to stay in rooms. We couldn't speak to each other. Every time I needed to speak to her I had to actually call this other friend of mine and be like alright, can you translate?

Speaker 1:

And got all the way over to Cancun. I got Pellucci's security, his vests and stuff, as my little dog my little I can't think of the name right now you know what I'm talking about, though my little helper dog. And so we flew out of Cancun to San Juan, and as soon as we got to San Juan I got jacked up. In San Juan they caught me on that warrant. So we're at 34 minutes. It's been a long day. I'll hopefully tomorrow, tell you about how we escaped the airport and that fucking warrant. It finally showed up Right when we landed in Puerto Rico. Son of a bitch Uber all the way across Mexico to get away from the cartel. Oh bye, sorry, I'm listening to the music too. I'm Heidi, and this is the Surviving Changes podcast.
