Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's it's the nineties and Marin County, California. Saturdays,
Speaker 1: my dad would take me to this baseball field. All
Speaker 1: these guys my dad played with were our family friends.
Speaker 1: I just found out that of these folks were pot
Speaker 1: dealers or pot smugglers, or drug smugglers or growers. They
Speaker 1: all worked in the pot industry in the seventies and eighties,
Speaker 1: which was a big deal. You know, it was illegal,
Speaker 1: and so was my dad. Just a hot producer. Tip
Speaker 1: when you blow your nose, put some space between the
Speaker 1: storytelling and the nose blowing so I can Hello. I'm
Speaker 1: Rainbow Valentine. And for the past year, my dad has
Speaker 1: been coming clean to me about his decades long career
Speaker 1: as a big time pot smuggler. And by big time,
Speaker 1: I mean pretty big time. I think it was my
Speaker 1: dad and mom had to live a double life. What
Speaker 1: is active school board members, doting parents to three kids,
Speaker 1: and the other is outlaws? Like my parents had a
Speaker 1: secret room like the movies. Yeah, there's a real sacred room.
Speaker 1: Kick out a book when you took out a screw driver. Now,
Speaker 1: my dad wasn't the most organized criminal. He once lost
Speaker 1: half a million dollars buried in the backyard. It was
Speaker 1: pretty stressful. I couldn't find at least a half a
Speaker 1: million in cash. He also literally had to launder money.
Speaker 1: He once put more than a hundred thousand dollars in
Speaker 1: our dryer. Can't just dump it in the dryer, so
Speaker 1: I put them in sick. My dad was tremendously successful,
Speaker 1: and he smuggled during the War on drugs, a war
Speaker 1: that made people like my dad and his smuggling colleagues
Speaker 1: public enemy number one. Public Enemy number one is drug abuse, marijuana,
Speaker 1: the burning weed when its roots in Hell. My parents
Speaker 1: and they're smuggling associates are finally breaking their silence about
Speaker 1: growing up during the psychedelic Revolution in the sixties and
Speaker 1: entering into the life of outlaws in a world that
Speaker 1: had nothing but contempt for them. Together, we're going to
Speaker 1: find out how my dad was a pot smuggler for
Speaker 1: twenty two years and at what cost. I'm Rainbow Valentine
Speaker 1: for my Heart Media and School of Humans. This is
Speaker 1: Disorganized Crime Smuggler's Daughter. Listen to Disorganized Crime Smuggler's Daughter
Speaker 1: on the I Heart Radio app or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Coming December four,
