The Cocaine Bear’s Insane But True Backstory & Ties To Appalachia

The hard-to-believe true story of the Cocaine Bear has deep ties to Appalachia and we discuss them in this video. The real truth is stranger than the mostly fictional movie, so stick around, y’all ain’t gonna believe this one.

What's with the Iowa Shirt ???

[@realappalachia]

A supporter who lives there sent it to us so I wore it as a shoutout to him

Shane, read the book titled The Bluegrass Conspiracy. You won’t believe the people involved. Great book, true story, well researched and documented. Drew Thornton is a main character. Also the scene in Justified where the gentleman finds the dead parachute jumper in his yard is also a reference to Drew.

I hadn’t heard of that book before and it sounds right up my alley. Thanks!

My goodness!! What a story!! What a story! Loved it because it was so crazy. It is good to view another one of your videos. For some reason, it took me a while to locate this video. Thank you. Did your sweet little girl (not baby) receive the two packages I sent? Hopefully, your postoffice box accepted them. Thank you sweet people.

Off topic (totallly):
Wil you have another book signing?

[@realappalachia]

We hope to by the summer. Navigating the new baby has really thrown us off for now.

[@MillerMeteor74]

Very interesting story. But I never heard of that movie. 🙂

[@realappalachia]

It’s a crazy one

[@phantom6596]

the Georgia agent who investigated said the bear was a boy

[@wandajones5479]

When did you have your baby?
It’s been awhile since I’ve been on here.

[@realappalachia]
