This week on 10 Toes Podcast, Kyle and Jason sit down with OG Gigaveli, a Miami street veteran who came up during a very different era of the game. Born and raised in the gutter of Miami, OG delivers a raw, unfiltered breakdown of how street culture, loyalty, and survival have completely changed over the decades.

OG explains that when he was coming up, the neighborhood superstars — the big-time drug dealers of the 70s, 80s, and 90s — gave back to their communities. They made sure kids had food, clothes, and money, while also warning them not to follow the same path. Back then, street figures stood on their word, stayed ten toes down, and accepted consequences without selling out the people around them.

While OG was serving time in federal prison, he watched the game collapse. A new mentality replaced loyalty: “Why do 10 when I can tell on a friend?” According to OG, cooperation became normalized, snitching became strategic, and long runs disappeared. Where major players once stayed on top for six, seven, even ten years, today most people are lucky to last two years before catching a federal case.

The conversation also dives deep into the modern dangers of the street economy — especially fentanyl. OG explains how drugs being unknowingly spiked has made street dealing more dangerous than ever, leading to harsher federal sentences, conspiracy charges, and lives destroyed over substances sellers didn’t even know they were distributing.

This episode isn’t about glorifying the streets — it’s about contrast, consequences, and reality. OG Gigaveli makes it clear: the game is dead, loyalty is gone, and the risk is no longer worth the reward.

In this powerful episode of 10 Toes Podcast, Kyle and Jason sit down with Amanda Lynn Tarver, a former federal inmate who served two years at Coleman Federal Prison Camp when it operated as a women’s facility. Convicted of possession with intent to distribute MDMA, Amanda shares a raw, emotional account of how a relationship, a series of seemingly small decisions, and a federal investigation changed her life forever — including giving birth while incarcerated.

Amanda walks listeners through meeting her now-husband and how she became loosely involved in his MDMA activity, believing at the time it was “not a big deal.” That assumption quickly unraveled when the FBI arrested her after returning from a Bahamas trip, using evidence recovered from her confiscated phone to build their case. Unaware she was pregnant at the time, Amanda self-surrendered to federal prison and ultimately gave birth while in custody, experiencing firsthand the rarely discussed realities of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood inside the federal prison system.

This episode of 10 Toes Podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in true crime, federal prison life, women’s incarceration, MDMA cases, and the unseen realities of giving birth behind bars.
