#348 - The Undercover Idiot - Cortez, Colorado

This week, in Cortez, Colorado, a strange man, who built himself an odd, octagonal house, on top of a hill, and may be into the local drug dealing scene. When his teenage friend gets in trouble for a relatively minor offense, this kid decides that the only way to get out of it was to go undercover, and help the police. This leads to wild, bloody scene, that leaves three people dead, and this young man, thinking he was acting as an undercover cop. But there are many unanswered questions, like how one of the people died, and who killed them. It's a mess!!

Along the way, we find out that there is also desert in Colorado, that unless you get a badge, you definitely aren't a cop, and that it may be a bad idea to just assume you have the power to kill at will!!

IMost excitment this town seen in a while.

i was at the trial, i didnt go the day of the verdict. i have always wondered what the outcome was,now i know. thanks for that.
Cortez is as described, a lil podunk town.
i was a sophmore in high school when this all went down. i had seen Bert at many kegger parties. He used to wear these whitish corduroy button up bell bottom pants. they were skin tight,so his junk was always on display. its funny that out of all the drama those pants are what i remember. lol

Consistently excellent

I’ve been a fan for several years. Always candid and witty. I laugh out loud at least once an episode! Thanks James and Jimmy!
