SUMMER REWIND: Escondido Aug 30, 2023

Show notes

This week we have another Summer Rewind where we dig up a favorite episode from past seasons. For our LAST installment we’re revisiting "Escondido",

It takes place in the 80's in Mexico. Puerto Escondido was just a sleepy little fishing village when my girlfriend and I headed there on vacation. We soon found out the laid back lifestyle hid some dangerous characters, and we quickly got ourselves in way too deep.
