    I swear its all true, but just to make it a little harder to believe for ya; 3 of the 4 mma guys (mr.necklace was the only one to stay cool as all hell) went on to join a cult led by a 70+yo man claiming he was Jesus who lived in a school bus that he’d renovated into a trailer house. They ended up cooking meth for him some years later and that’s the last I’ve heard about the lot.

        East Texas, which, in many ways, is the Florida of Texas. Depends on the specific area for sure (it is a very large area after all), but interactions like this pretty often go on without any kind of police intervention. Lots of personality (in a more positive sense) near the cities, but a very strange area in many ways, full of real, real strange folks the further into the hill country you get. Their BBQ can’t be beat tho. Comes with the ‘…huh’ of it all, I like to think.

      The first part of your story sounded a little far-fetched. But the second part adds context to which I say, “yup, sounds like a bunch of meth-head Nazis and MMA fighters.”
