    There were 50 Mexican political candidates assassinated in 2018, but obviously we’re only halfway through 2024 with more than half that, so…

    I travel a lot and met a girl from Mexico who said that I had to visit, and I was like I don’t know man, there is a disproportionate amount of kidnappings and violent crime specifically against tourists in Mexico.

    And she was like no. I swear it’s safe. I grew up there my whole life until I moved away at 30, and I never had a problem, and I was around gangsters and people like that all the time because my dad was the police chief.

    I was like yeah man, I might have an inkling as to why you didn’t get pushed around as much.
