Owen Hanson, the subject of the hit Amazon docuseries Cocaine Quarterback produced by Mark Wahlberg, takes us through his entire life — where it started, where it went wrong, and what it was like from the inside, juggling illegal sports betting, drug dealing, money laundering, and ultimately trying to run what became a large-scale criminal operation. Owen joins us in studio to break down the rise, the fall, and what life looks like now on the other side. --- --- — VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!
