This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stucats podcast.

I've told you guys for a while here that I've been looking forward to this Trailblazers

documentary, Bonzi Wells. We've spoken to Bonzi before, and I always thought that the difference

between how Bonzi was covered and how Bonzi actually was was different.

And so I'm looking forward to watching this documentary because I want to see the difference between the coverage and who these guys really were.

So thank you, Bonzi, for joining us.

We appreciate your time.

Did you learn much of anything during the documentary? Was it something

that was illuminating to you in any way? It was. You know, during that time, you know, I was so young.

I was a fresh rookie 22 years old, so I didn't really know what was going on on the other side.

So to get stories from Bob Witts, who was our president, GM at the time, telling the other side, and then

just the Damon stories, received stories, and the stuff that was going on that I was seeing

that I just thought was normal. And just the way it got portrayed, and just to kind of clear a lot of

that mess up. And I said we was right or wrong, but just kind of just getting the true message

out there, that was the point of the whole project.

When you say the Damon stories, are you talking about the one and a half ounces of marijuana

trying to get it through airport security using aluminum foil?

Yeah, that was the second or third incident, but we just wanted to talk about the root of it,

how it started. And, you know, Damon was a hometown hero. So you got to, you know, his story was more about how his, how you treat being a hometown hero and how you have the domino effect with that. And then his story about the bounce back. And that's, that was his story. You know, Rashid's story was documented. My story, you know, just kind of just sat on the real with my story.

That was the point of the whole thing. And people just needed to hear it. You know, obviously back there wasn't no social media. We had a media boycott, so we didn't ever talk to the media

personally about anything. So to talk about it now, just felt therapeutic for everybody,

both sides, I think. Untold jailblazers streaming on Netflix today.
