Welcome back to part two of my interview with “The” Narcos who helped bring down Pablo Escobar! Retired D.E.A. Agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peña.
Javier Peña and Steve Murphy are former DEA agents best known for bringing down Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar in the '90s, as dramatized in the first two seasons of the Netflix series Narcos and chronicled in their book Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
· Their colleague’s reaction to their newfound fame.
· Who filled the void left by Pablo’s cocaine empire being destroyed?
· How Pablo Escobar gained so much wealth and power in a short amount of time.
· Pop culture’s fascination with high-profile criminals like Pablo Escobar.
· Have they gone back to Columbia after all these years?
· Their worldwide speaking tour and the feedback from the audience.
