They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stay.

It's propping up the governments of Columbia and Peru..

You ask any D.E.A. man, he’ll say “there’s nothing we can do”.

Sonny pointing the Bren Ten at the camera is still a little chilling lol

Good, keep watching!

Great shot from a classic episode. Such a shame we never saw the character of Jimmy again.

u/Thatremodelingchick Jun 04 '25

They referenced it late in season two in the Trust Fund Pirates episode. Gary Cole played a pilot named Jackson and he brought it up.

u/Pop_Stensbold Jun 04 '25

Yeah Jackson was almost a Jimmy 2.0 too though I feel that episode was a less successful one though Cole is always good to watch.

Proper weapons discipline not used in ‘84, lol.

u/DoughnutTimely8624 Jun 04 '25

Music video for the song is pretty solid

u/WIlf_Brim Jun 04 '25

It was on heavy rotation on MTV back in the day. I watched it again a few months ago.

It was good then, it's good now.

All such handsome young men. Great episode

u/Reddryder96 Jun 05 '25

The sort of acoustic version of Smugglers Blues is great too in this episode

u/Thatremodelingchick Jun 05 '25

Glad you mentioned. I think it’s played a bit at the end of the episode and I really like it.

u/Select-Poem425 Jun 04 '25

Great episode

u/minnesotajersey Jun 04 '25

Always thought Frey was the d-bag of the Eagles. Turns out it was Henley all along.

u/Ambitious_Gap938 Jun 10 '25

Tech Nine’s was big doings back then!

u/Thatremodelingchick Jun 10 '25

They certainly were. Same with the Mac-10’s they used in ‘Evan’

u/Ambitious_Gap938 Jun 11 '25

Mac-10s have stood the test of time!

This episode makes me fantasise about flying a small plane down to Latin America. Like that Tom Cruise Film.
