Michael still abides by the code and talks about everyone with respect, even when he is saying they have given faulty information and manipulated facts he does it humbly. What a fucking dude 🔥
Michael has lived a life that 99% of us would never understand. I'm in my late 40s, and i can remember as a young girl hearing about Griselda and being fascinated that a woman was able to run things the way she did. It was a man's world at that time. I guarantee though that Michael would give anything to have all his family back. He basically has NO immediate family. How sad for him. Michael is such a loving son and wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his mother. RIP Griselda
I am sure that Griselda and his brothers would be so proud of him for speaking up and telling the real narrative of their stories love the podcast so far🙌🏾🔥
I know Michael was a young boy when all this happened and people don’t believe his story, but I think you all are forgetting that Griselda died in 2012. Michael spoke to his mother on a regular basis. This story isn’t just based on his memories, but also on her words.
@@ronald8071 And so were all the people she killed or had affiliations with. I mean were talking about all criminals amongst each other. Criminals vs criminals. Whose words can we believe?
Michael and Billy, in this episode, are sharing historical facts. The Disco and Salsa movements during the 1970s played a major role in the rise of cocaine use. My father, a musician for Fania, shared stories about how cocaine was the prevalent drug, and many famous salsa singers of the time, including Hector Lavoe and Frankie Ruiz, indulged in its use. It is unfortunate that the Netflix series omitted the role of New York City in this story, as it was the birthplace of these significant events.
The little brother being a millionaire at 19 years old and a criminal, what a beautiful family and how they said it in the Netflix series, mother 🐋 of the year hahaha 🤣
Cocaine Cowboys is one of the best doc’s ever made imo so thrilled you are keeping the train going with more and more content! The sky is limit, most of the characters could have their own separate docs! I know the Lehder doc is coming soon, but would love to see a doc on Max Mermelstein. I know at one time Jake Glyenhal and Mark Wahlberg were reported to possibly be doing separate projects on Mermelstein, but nothing came of it. Any thought also to doing another updated jailhouse interview with Rivi?
The movie theater story 😢❤ like she’s Giesela Blanco the fact that she put her life on the line for some Fantasy movie while she had REAL life shit going on was so sweet …. She was STILL a mother through it all ❤
I can taste coke just watching this ughhh very interesting dude seems cool as hell. My mom was running small shit from Mexico bringing me as a diversion but nothing like what this dude lived
Michael, I can't imagine the life your mother had......many paint her as a cruel, heartless killer. She is far from that. Yes she had to do some imaginable things, but she did it to provide for her family and kids that she knew how. The streets are not kind nor friendly. People that have not been there growing up in that environment, will never understand. They can only sit there making judgments and stupid assumptions. I grew up on the back streets of a bad neighborhood. Flashing lights and helicopter flood lights was an everyother night thing. We did what we could to survive and protect our family. When you speak of your mother, I can see the love you still have for her and how much you miss her....be safe bro....
Dang can’t wait to hear his opinion on the “Hustling with the god mother “ and Michael Crosby I have a feeling that he didn’t think too much of that dude after all the shit he was saying about his mother
Great information from Griselda’s son. I’m glad he’s revealed this. Because I was like wow she got robbed like that for a Kilo. People need to stop putting out Trash just to make money! Her life is already interesting enough, just get the right documentation, talk to her son & make a Real/True documentary. People are so cut throat!
I wish he came out with his own show I would definitely watch even tho I watch cartle crew 😃 Crazy how he was young and had to be tought about this life at a very young age
I feel in love with her is when I watched the movie on lifetime and then the show her son was on I watched it. And I followed him he’s very inspiring and her as well. I ❤️ her dynamic and her how she loved her kids
Great job billy. Johnny w from North east philly. Love the channel love the content ....please put out cocaine cowboys 4. Also please interview rivi on the phone. tell rivi. To write a book. Help him get it done. $$ for his family. He deserves it. Ur play about him. Him!!!!! Cocaine cowboys. Boy he stole the show. Please help him. Regardless. Big ups bro. Michael. Big ups dude 🙏👍🙏

Wow hindsight... I had a cousin who worked vice in fort Lauderdale in the 80s. When visiting, I used to watch him test product after an undercover buy... they did things so differently back then. Wonder if she was ever on his radar 🤔
If Halston was the king of New York fashion, Studio 54 was his castle. SOOO griselda was most likely the one providing with cocina OML everything is goddam connected!!!!!
halston was a very famous fashion designer in the US.. . he has a Netflix documentary up rightnow as of 2024 called "Halston" which I was watching literally a week ago. it shown where he finds out that a new disco will be opening during 1977 and he makes it for the grand opening night WHERE supposedly only rich, influential and important people could and would party. Throughout the show he starts to take cocina like nothing and would party at Studio 51 very often. I'm wonder if the dealers where Griselda's workers IT COULD ALL BE CONNECT.
Don Fabio blesses drug lords into the game. He never touches work. Hands super clean. He never been indicted. He collected picasso artwork. And paso fino horses.
He could have have given a contrasting perspective such as she been a loving mother who would do anything for her children. But a woman who was a cold blooded murder to those who wanted her dead and who she felt was deserving of death. As a mother she was undoubtedly loving but the career she choose was evil and has to be viewed as morally dubious if not evil. Though the evilness in her is not a character trait that her son would recognise. Pablo Escobar’s son is a good example of a child who loves his father but understands the moral undoing that it did to his father and the emblematic figure of evil and death that he became. But ultimately as an architect Pablo Escobar’s son comes across as more coherent and analytical than Micheal Coreleone Blanco which is probably owed to the educational disparity between both men
I was wondering that because the people from cali, all wanted to live in New York to work. I was wondering how long she knew the cali cartel. That is him in Robo cop two, that is amazing, I knew I never knew anything, now I know I knew less than that. Billy Corbon is extremely talented, bringing some history to us. Story telling.
I always said it, Rivi is a fking G. Greselda was lucky to have found him as her enforcer. He was slick, down af, and did his job well. He was surgical with his methods besides one with killing the kid on accident. I’m glad Michael telling us Rivi was a real one . His interview on CC 2 was lit. He talked about it as him doing his job and professsional about it. He didn’t do it to gloat. Just spittin facts.
There is so much more to this story than what was covered in the show. I'm not saying Michael's version of the story is 100% accurate, as he is for sure biased. But I think the series could've been so much better and interesting with his input
Still so much crime, gangs and killings in the Bay Area. San Quentin conveniently right there. Perfect location for future generations of the Blanco family.
Few inconsistents but the biggest thing is when he said before his mother there was no Ochoa's. If you research it through official records in Colombia the the Father of the Ochoa brothers was in the cocaine business long before his mother. He was the only one never charged due his low key and power.
I’m from the Barrio Antioquia and what Michael is speaking is pure facts! I will go as far as to tell you that El Barrio Antioquia is the birth place of it all. The Ochoas at the time had a name in Medellin as respected wealthy cattle and land owners but they weren’t goons who came from the street. They invested in the drug trade. The real from the bottom who pioneered the whole thing were Griselda, Pestañas, Cucaracho.
How would Don Fabio have been in the cocaine business long before Griselda when the cocaine exports really kicked off the 70s and she also started in the 70s. Your comment makes no sense
Many tanks for saying ether. Since they use gasoline cocaine sucks balls. And I understand the difference between base and crystalized now. Very informative.
I'm curious if anyone has read the book? I ordered the book MyMotherTheGodMother on February 18th but still haven't received anything. I paid $38 but didn't receive a confirmation. I can't get in contact with anyone because there is no contact info on the website.
Love this. Cannot get enough of it. AceDeuce Will Bust You Loose! @rakontur fanatic since raw deal. I think I just fell in awe of LA Madrina all over again. MCB also just said she literally was godmother to many many children in the neighborhoods in medellin! This content is fire @billycorben. 🔥 ❤
This dude was a kid when all this went down he didn’t really know much about what was really going down himself and wasn’t running the family business he’s going off of stories himself
They did portray her in the Netflix series, as being weaker than she was. Pablo Escobar said the only man he is afraid of is a woman named Griselda Blanco that was the real Griselda, and they didn’t portray her like that 💯
This is so crazy so many people died but she is glorified with a show so her family could reap the benefits. Some of the men killed had no choice to sell for her because they were threatened. The money to all this should go to the decesed family daughters/sons wife’s smh what’s fucked up work we live in.
I agree, out of the mouth of the man who did it, told her they missed the man but killed his 2 year old son...she said " Well, at least you killed the son".
Michael still abides by the code and talks about everyone with respect, even when he is saying they have given faulty information and manipulated facts he does it humbly. What a fucking dude 🔥

Cocaine Cowboys is definitely a must see . The show felt rushed and definitely made for entertainment.

Fania Allstars , wow, I remember them coming to bridgeport ct and playing at the Wagon Wheel , Willie Colon, Celia Cruz, thanks for sharing
Factz I wish Dey would re due it
Facts they missed alot of that in the show
I have so much respect for Michael
I loved the show but I love this more, great to hear the real story from Michael
I'd love it if Rakontur could do a full length feature documentary focused solely on the life of Osvaldo "Chicky" Trujillo-Blanco.
Him and rayful
Facts…Cheeky needs his flowers
that would be dope!!!

Yo these interviews with MCB are fu***n good! This is the first time that I'm even hearing about this channel. Good work
Let's not forget the brick getting stolen multiple times, I'm like that can't be real.
Thanks Billy!!! Your story telling ability is out of this world!!

14:22 3 wigs for 'la chameleon"
I watched the series from beginning to end & I loved every minute ✌
I thought the series was great regardless of accuracy. I think a show and a docu are two different things. Love this interview.
I will always remember her as a mother and business woman and just chilling in her bed reading the Bible ❤
Being from Miami its time her truth is told, TY Micheal.
WE NEED PART 3 ASAP
Sweating when part 1 finished that part 2 wasn't on here phewww. Loving it
Karate Kid motel ! I was thinking the same thing !
He knows alot for a kid who was only 5 or 6 at the time
No matter what Rivi was a G…Salute
Yeah I stopped watching once his storyline didn’t match up with what Rivi actually said.
@@mykedabz4590 an they really disregarded how important he really was to her operation.
For real they treat rivi like he was a guy on the sideline.. rivi was The enforcer not just some sicario flown in from colombia or a marielito
Word!
I couldn't wait for this podcast to finally debut. I scoured the Internet since I saw them on Le Batard talkin' about it.
Cocaine cowboys best documentary I ever saw and I love Riviera story Mac 10 action guy was no joke straight gangsta facts
This foo was a baby when shit went down... he knows his tio's version of what happened
Exactly lol the real stories why would they lie to him when she’s dead? Lol
It was a good series. I binged watched it, last night…
Disgust man, disgust of people, so many victims demand and will demand justice and their revenge; for so many deaths that they owe
That's their choice
This has turned out to be a great interview
Darn im actually wathing this after seeing griselda on netflix . Ive got some real confused emotions lol😢
I can taste coke just watching this ughhh very interesting dude seems cool as hell. My mom was running small shit from Mexico bringing me as a diversion but nothing like what this dude lived
Billy Corben you always hit the spot with your productions ! I'm eating this, skipping to part 3 now.. ;Thanks so much.
This is better than the Netflix shit
Fuck yeah!
Come on people, all these views and no thumbs up 👍...great interview well done!
Big up Michael! what a crazy life he lived
Billy doesn’t miss 🐐🔥
Good content! Some understand that’s life! And some just can’t! Stay blessed everyone!

This funny.
His mom got off the plane and was controlling Miami in two weeks.
Like ppl weren’t already established but go on Mike 😅
Her story is inspiring and as a woman it puts a smile on my face she did it so BiG like Wow❤
I was waiting patiently for part 2 👏🏼
Dang can’t wait to hear his opinion on the “Hustling with the god mother “ and Michael Crosby I have a feeling that he didn’t think too much of that dude after all the shit he was saying about his mother
Aside from everything, I was super annoyed at anything they tried to pass off at Miami.
Great information from Griselda’s son. I’m glad he’s revealed this. Because I was like wow she got robbed like that for a Kilo. People need to stop putting out Trash just to make money!

@milaniamariewalls9244 his ol lady died in 2012 . So u think all those yrs dat past 6y he didn’t ever speak to his moms.
love you michael. hoping a new season of cartel crew comes out soon.
You don't even know foo hahaha

what a mother to be proiud of.

Correct , he is wrong when he said his mom was before the Ochoa's ,Don Fabio was in the game long before her.
Why did her son keeping talking about her like she should be praised for many evil firsts?? Pathetic
Exactly.
That’s his mother he grew up in the lifestyle. It’s hard not to view his mother as someone to praise
It's still his mother, hold them on a pedastole. Even when they fall, the love for a mother never dies
Like u said his mother, regardless of the evils she committed he received love from HIS MOTHER.
