Osiel "The Friend Killer" Guillen, Loz Zetas, and the man who set a new standard for violence among the Gulf Cartel.

From crime lords, to drug king pins, Cartels, serial killers, and ever day psychos, World on Drugs with Steve Furey deep dives into subjects and people other wont. We analyze it through the lens of comedy, to try and see how and why these people/event went down the wrong road.  This week we have my buddy, comedian and Youtuber Mike Falzone. We tell him the disturbing story of Osiel "Mata Amigo" Guillen, the once leader of the Gulf Cartel and creator of Los Zetas, the most violent criminal syndicate in Mexico.

Ever since Steve Furey was a kid, he's been fascinated with criminals. Listen in as he and comedian guests analyze drug king pins, mob bosses, International gangsters, and thieves—all through a comedic lens. Sure, you know about Pablo Escobar, El Chapo, and Al Capone. But have you heard of Dawood Kaskar, the second richest gangster of all time? Join Steve and his guests as they take you step by step through the lives of notorious criminals that have—until now—somehow gone under the radar. If you love crime AND comedy, then “World on Drugs” is the podcast for you.
