DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING. BILLY MILLIGAN AND GRISELDA BLANCO RECAP


Listen Later

A cocaine empire stitched into lingerie. A courtroom thriller built on a fractured mind. We go live, buzzed and unfiltered, to recap two of our wildest full-length true crime stories and to say the quiet part out loud about what still doesn’t sit right.

First up, we retrace the rise of Griselda Blanco, the Cocaine Godmother whose reach stretched from Colombia to New York and into the Miami drug wars. We talk through the mechanics of how her operation moved product, why she leaned on women as mules, and how public violence became a strategy when control started slipping. It’s a reminder that “organized” crime is often just organized terror with supply chains, and the cost is always paid by people far from the spotlight.

Then we switch gears to Billy Milligan, a case that sits at the intersection of dissociative identity disorder (DID), trauma, and the criminal justice system. We break down how alters function as protectors, how “lost time” shows up, and why the details can feel both fascinating and horrifying. We also connect the conversation to what we learned from Jenny Haynes, because seeing how trauma can split a person raises real questions about coping, memory, and survival. And we don’t dodge the biggest debate: when serious crimes happen, what should accountability look like, no matter the diagnosis?
