Interview with Guy Who Robs Drug Dealers

Peter Madsen: So where does this start?

Brian: It starts with my moving from Long Island to Orlando, Florida. I wasn’t getting along with my immediate family, so I moved in with my grandpa and I started going to college. Then I met this guy at school. He pulls up in a Benz and he’s smoking some nice piff.

Peter Madsen: Some nice what?

Here’s to Peter Madsen, still at it: New York underbelly interviewer. A guy who goes and interviews drug dealers. Also, people who rob drug dealers. Also also, cops who bust drug dealers.
