Johnathan Walton introduces "Cocaine Air," a podcast series focusing on the life of T.J. Dominguez, who went from being scammed out of $100,000 to becoming a major cocaine smuggler for Pablo Escobar. The episode begins with how Johnathan and T.J. met while working on a History Channel series about Pablo Escobar. T.J. recounts his early life, including his father's failed sugar mill project in Haiti, which led to financial desperation and being conned out of $100,000. In retaliation, T.J. orchestrates a kidnapping to recover his money, which leads him to the decision to become a smuggler. The episode concludes with T.J.'s initial steps into drug smuggling, buying a boat and seeking guidance to transport marijuana from the Bahamas, setting the stage for future episodes.
