In the next few episodes I’m bringing you to Shreveport Louisiana. Over the last ten years the folks down there have become my family, the city has become my heart. Goat and Bamm are two of the most beloved, feared, and respected people in the history of the city.

The Bottoms was ultimately wiped off the face of the earth by the federal government. Goat, Bamm and the rest of the notorious Bottoms Boys gang were sent to decades in prison. Goat did more than 17 years of federal time while Bamm was recently released from the Super Max in Florence, Colorado where he spent over 30 years with prison mates such as El Chapo and Larry Hoover. Bamm and Goat are two of the wisest and most evolved people I know. I have endless respect for the code in which they live their lives, and limitless gratitude for their friendship. They both are sacred to me. I hope you learn as much from them as I have. Thank you. Jon.
