A remote podcast in South Texas where oilfield work meets border security creates unique challenges few Americans ever experience. In this raw, candid conversation, we take you directly to the lease roads of South Texas where workers navigate dangers beyond the typical hazards of the energy industry.
When one host describes driving to a location at 5 AM and encountering border patrol vehicles racing past at high speeds, it opens a window into a world that feels straight out of "Sicario" - except it's the daily reality for those working these territories. The stories shared are firsthand accounts from those who've had their homes broken into, encountered desperate migrants on job sites, and developed survival instincts most oilfield workers never need to consider.
"You can't see what's behind those bushes," one worker warned, explaining how someone could "kill you, pull you 100 yards out there" where "they ain't gonna find you till the buzzards come." This stark reality check reveals why workers in these regions maintain heightened vigilance - checking under vehicles and staying alert to their surroundings at all times.
The conversation extends beyond physical safety to explore how border proximity affects everything from music to family life. We discuss the complex relationship between narcocorridos (songs about cartel activities), visa revocations for Mexican artists, and how American performers with Mexican heritage navigate different standards protected by First Amendment rights.
