George Jung, the drug smuggler immortalized by Johnny Depp in “Blow,” left Weymouth for California in the late '60s with pennies in his pocket, two cases of Budweiser in the backseat and his best pal riding shotgun. Forty years – and four prison stints later – Jung returned to visit his boyhood home at 30 Abigail Adams Circle. He was unsure if neighbors would throw rocks or tell him to “politely leave town.” Jung's homecoming can be seen in the documentary “Boston George,” which charts his improbable journey from Patriot Ledger newsboy to Weymouth High football star to cocaine trafficker for Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel. Subtitled “Famous Without the Fortune,” the documentary's first two episodes premiere Friday, July 22, on Fandor, with one episode per week each successive Friday. Cinedigm will make each episode available on demand the next day. Today I'm joined by Chris Chesson and Georgette Angelos to discuss their work on BOSTON GEORGE: FAMOUS WITHOUT THE FORTUNE.

Hitting the peak of his drug smuggling career in the 1970s and ‘80s, Jung was an associate of the Medellín Cartel and one of the world's most notorious and wealthiest criminal leaders, Pablo Escobar.

She shares some stories of onset activities, meeting Johnny Deep and George Jeung, including drug use during the filming of the movie. Tim even plays a voicemail he has saved from George. Jennifer was also in numerous music videos for the Rolling Stones and Babyface around this time. This era started Jennifer's personal drug use and abuse, it was manageable for a while, but eventually, it spiraled out of control. She went to rehab under the care of Dr. Drew Pinsky, and eventually made appearances on both 'Sober House' and 'Celebrity Rehab'. Tim Ryan is famously known as A&E's 'Dope Man' and a substance abuse interventionist. But before his fame, he had a rough time with addiction. He and his son Nick would do drugs together. Eventually, Tim wound up in prison, got sober, and tried to get his son sober as well. On his 21 month anniversary of his sobriety, Tim lost his son while in rehab. People heard about how he would use drugs with his son and received a lot of hate and backlash for it. This was tough for Tim to deal with. This started Tim's path to sharing as much as he could about recovery & addiction. Tim is also the Founder of "A Man In Recovery" Foundation. Tim believes the only way to bring about real change in American Drug Policy and the recovery world in general, is through legislative work. He's a big supporter of getting involved at a local level, to make the change you want to see happen in your community. Tim started to get burned out, not being able to say "no" to anyone that needed his help. He was going through his second divorce when he started to feel suicidal. He needed someone to help with everything. Then he met Jennifer. Tim and Jen met in 2019. They hit it off immediately, got married, and started working together. Jen was totally on board with helping as many people as they could. Not only are they both famous and in active recovery, but they are also both proactive in changing lives - sometimes even helping to save them. Their "Dope To Hope" podcast is an example of that, leading many to share their stories of recovery from around the world. They finally feel like they are both in a healthy position and able to help others with their own struggles. Now, Tim and Jenn want to focus on speaking to audiences all over the world. They inspire their audiences to live a more fulfilling, passionate, and purposeful life. They're trying to focus on themselves more these days, and keep a positive mental outlook as they try to balance helping others, and helping themselves.

Greed and ambition would end up getting the better of both George Jung and Carlos Lehder Rivas, turning them from brothers into enemies. Despite their perceived invincibility, it was this rivalry that would ultimately bring them down in 1987.
By 1987, Carlos Lehder Rivas and George Jung had scraped together a cocaine smuggling empire fit for kings. Yet as profits grew, the two partners found themselves at odds—diverging away from each other to fulfill their own desires for power and prosperity.
After meeting in a Connecticut prison in 1974, George Jung and Carlos Lehder Rivas began to build what was to become a moderate cocaine operation, smuggling drug shipments from Columbia into the U.S. However, after a few nail biting trial runs, the duo realized they were on the brink of creating an empire that would make them rich.
In the late 1970s, George Jung and Carlos Lehder Rivas would team up to become one of the most infamous trafficking duos in the history of American cocaine. Before they could become professionals though, both men would start from humble origins, padding their resumes out with marajuana trafficking and forays into organized crime.
With the Corona Virus pandemic going on John decided to revisit some older movies. Listen as he reviews Donnie Brasco a story about DescriptionJoseph Pistone (Johnny Depp) is an FBI agent who has infiltrated one of the major New York Mafia families and is living under the name Donnie Brasco.

As their relationship develops, Pistone must decide whether or not to complete his job, knowing that it will lead to the murder of his new friend. Blow In the turbulence of the 1970s, the international drug trade underwent a fast, violent and lucrative revolution - and one ordinary American was at its center. But in just a few short years, George Jung (Johnny Depp), a high-school football star single handedly became the world's premiere importer of cocaine from Colombia's Medellin cartel, changing the course of an entire generation. "Blow" is a high-velocity look at George Jung's spectacular rise and fall. Flight of the Navigator DescriptionThis 1978 Disney adventure tells the story of 12-year-old David (Joey Cramer) who lives with his family in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. When he awakens from being accidentally knocked out in the forest near his home, he finds that eight years have passed.

This is the first part of the story of George Jung. He is famous for drug smuggling, but this didn't just start with cocaine. We look at his life, crimes and the incessant need for more and more. The film was released in 2001, so there has been 18 years of Georges life that is not covered. Listen as we cover that as well.
How much money is enough to satisfy you? If you had to choose a dollar amount that would make you say “I’ve got what I need, I can retire happy now,” what would that dollar amount be? That’s what BigMike asks “Boston” George Jung in this episode of Business Outlaws. It’s not an easy question to answer, and it’s not something most people ever really think about. But when he was facing jail time and the prospect of losing everything he’d built, BigMike asked himself that very question. And in his years as one of the most prolific cocaine smugglers in the world, chronicled in the Johnny Depp film Blow, Jung faced this same dilemma. “I was a thrill junkie,” guest “Boston” George Jung tells BigMike and Chris “Bulldog” Collins in this episode of Business Outlaws. Jung’s no stranger to immeasurably huge financial success and the dangerous realities that come with pursuing it. You’ve seen Blow and heard Jung’s name, but here’s your only opportunity to listen to him tell his story in his own words. It’s not just flying planes over the border and dropping tons of cocaine and sitting at Pablo Escobar’s table; it’s a story of self-reflection and evolving perspectives on who we are and why we do the things we do. “We’re all here for a reason,” he tells our hosts. Listen now to hear Jung’s reason. When the episode’s over, head to BusinessOutlaws.com for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes footage from the studio.

Rusty Young, author of the incredibly eye-opening Marching Powder and Colombiano chats to us about his relationship with Thomas, a drug-trafficker he befriended in a Bolivian prison, and the fictional Pedro drawn from the stories of child soldiers. Rusty gives a detailed and horrific account of the experiences of child soldiers, including real-life stories of tortures that occurred as a result of the war in South America. His documentary Wildlands has him interviewing George Jung, depicted by Johnny Depp in Blow; and Popeye, Escobar's assassin, a man responsible for countless murders during Escobar's reign. Rusty takes us through the interviews and provides an insight into what really happened behind the scenes. Colombiano is a haunting and disturbing depiction of the life of a child soldier in a war where no one wins. An absolute must read. It's book you need to talk about afterwards, so drop us a line on Twitter (WordnNerds), FB or Insta once you've read it!
