Philly Streets (Part 2/3) - Tranq Brothers
Added 2023-12-12 19:44:03 +0000 UTCHere is our interview with one of the two brothers who control the flow of Xylazine in-and-out of Philadelphia, who and manufacture wholesale amounts of 'Tranq' (a mixture of Fentanyl, Heroin, and Xylazine), to be sold to drug users on the streets.
As we covered in our previous episode in Philly, Tranq is an animal tranquilizer which has not yet been approved for human consumption, but is being cut into Fentanyl by drug dealers to strengthen its effects. These brothers invented this method 6 years ago.
Upon injection, Tranq often causes Necrotizing Fasciitis, which is a flesh-eating condition that if not treated immediately, can lead to septic shock and death.
This morning, I interviewed a dermatologist about what exactly occurs in the skin when Tranq enters the human bloodstream, which is an interview I plan to release on Patreon in the coming days.
For whatever reason, Patreon is having problems with it's native video uploader so I'm having to upload 'Tranq Brothers' as an unlisted YouTube link, for now.
I genuinely think these dudes have SOME qualities that constitute legit evil, but it’s a mixed bag. Let me know what you guys think.

2024-09-10 07:56:03 +0000 UTCThey are part of the same family. They do have a similar chemical make up. Ketamine is also a tranquilizer.

2024-02-19 19:46:00 +0000 UTCYeah those are good points and you’re probably right. I just feel like an investigator or some type of law enforcement would be able to take clues like location, looks, and other small things and use them to pinpoint the criminal ya know?
Devin Smith
2024-02-19 18:16:06 +0000 UTCI don't think an actual drug dealer is willing to stage something that will put him behind bars for a very long time

2024-02-15 20:06:41 +0000 UTCAndrew is ballsy as hell and these interviews are legit.
Caitlin Kuvalanka
2024-02-04 21:20:38 +0000 UTCbut andrew should know better than to give this guy a platform is what i mean. this is sensationalizing the drug and the scene. its fear mongering. those are the ethics i am questioning.

Ashleigh
2024-01-19 17:41:19 +0000 UTCwhen he answered death like that I did question the validity but I don't think its andrew staging it I think like someone said above its a tweaker trying to sound bigger than they are

carmina h
2024-01-16 08:50:05 +0000 UTCI think they're actually drug dealers, just small potatoes trying to look big. Probably one level up from whoever stands at that corner. Yeah they're stupid but there are a lot of stupid people in the game.
Yak
2024-01-16 02:54:24 +0000 UTCCriminals have always been willing to talk to journalists. A lot of them like Jack the Bipper and maybe even these guys probably just don't really care about the consequences. Organized gangs know that the interviewer knows they'll be killed if they help the cops, so it's solely up to the interviewee's judgement whether they're willing to be on camera. That and people like Andrew start to get a reputation for not ratting out the people they interview.
Yak
2024-01-16 02:31:50 +0000 UTCMy guess, they're brand new to the game, bought a bunch of shit in bulk a few months ago, started making lots of cash selling to whoever deals at that corner, and it's going to their heads.
Yak
2024-01-16 02:20:15 +0000 UTCThey probably just brought their shit into that house solely for the interview. As for the personal details, might have been made up. Darknet dealers do that all the time.
Yak
2024-01-16 02:03:41 +0000 UTCyeah idk, this interview doesn't feel legit
Thomas Ball
2024-01-15 03:45:35 +0000 UTCthis is, entirely staged. im really starting to question your ethics at this point andrew.

2024-01-07 23:13:36 +0000 UTCNot even close. Ketamine is used for depression therapy and by anesthesiologists. And it’s used recreationally in the rave scene a lot. It’s reasonably safe. It’s not weed but it ain’t this tranc shit either.

2023-12-27 22:59:36 +0000 UTCThese guys are a joke. They have the intimidation factor of a superhero miniboss and knowing that they can be traced up to Philadelphia's Tranq trade is so deplorable. Seeing the actual cartel's overall influence on these trades is insane, and realistically, there has to be federal coordination even to entertain fighting back on the supply of it.

SBanks
2023-12-26 03:29:45 +0000 UTCAt Artem, of course, I can't express the complexity of the entire crisis in a single sentence but my point was that often it seems easier to look at two people dressed in hoods and hate and blame them, or people like them, for the entirety of the problem. And at the same time it is easy to overlook people in business suits with diplomas, marketing departments, lawyers, and all the billions pharmaceutical companies have amassed and not see the choices those people at those companies made even with knowledge of the damage they caused and continue to cause. Of course, pharmaceutical companies have done amazing help and provide value to the world. But will any of those pharmaceutical company employees or owners go to jail for the over 500,000 overdose deaths and the untold numbers that could no longer get the prescription and sought alternatives on the streets? The Sackler family might not even have to file for personal bankruptcy and basically get away with a fortune and no jail time. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-scrutinize-purdue-pharma-bankruptcy-settlement-2023-08-10/#:~:text=Purdue%20estimates%20that%20its%20bankruptcy,who%20have%20sued%20the%20company. and https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-global-resolution-criminal-and-civil-investigations-opioid for references.
Orig Entertainment
2023-12-23 15:12:28 +0000 UTCWhile I acknowledge the significant concerns surrounding the entire Purdue Pharma narrative (at least that's the company I'm most aware of) and the aggressive marketing of opioid prescriptions, simply asserting that 'all pharmaceutical companies peddle opioids that are lethal' oversimplifies the issue. Opioids serve critical purposes in specific scenarios, such as surgical interventions. However, substances like Tranq seem designed primarily to foster addiction, leading to tragic outcomes.

2023-12-17 01:06:16 +0000 UTCI’m super curious to know what Andrew says to these guys to set it up. I def don’t think he lies to them or anything like that lol just seems like someone could use all of the things they say to find them? The cartel could def find the tranq brothers so I feel like law enforcement could as well ya know

Adam Dev
2023-12-15 19:24:57 +0000 UTCThese drug dealer flourish because our country provides little-to-no safety nets for impoverished people. If the general population's basic needs were met (shelter & food), we would see so much less of this kind of activity. It's desperation that brings someone to that point. People like the Tranq Brothers are preying on people's weaknesses, and it's sad to see. Stay safe out there, Andrew.

Brandon Smith
2023-12-14 14:00:10 +0000 UTCHe said that to try and sound like a tough guy, a wolf eats lamb type of thing. I’m looking at everyone’s comments, these are not stone cold killers, they are not kingpins or bosses. It’s a couple of coked out kids with a shoe box full of dope, in over their head, talking shit.
Brandon Smith
2023-12-14 13:56:50 +0000 UTCyeah i most definitely have not and am thankful that i have not needed to. I definitely don't know how it is. I just know some people who used to be heavily involved and only have their word of mouth or things I have seen. I'm sure there is a heirarchy. Maybe they are pawns. You do have to realize that the real world is messier than you think though and some people can simply just be stupid. not everyone or everything has some mastermind behind it directly like in the movies. That said I know for a fact that you don't need to involve yourself in the heirarchy at all and can just grow or synthesize your own products. If you can't do that there is always the dark web.

The economic structure under capitalism is the same, it’s a dog eat dog world. Fuck these guy sure, but why didn’t you say “fuck those veterinarian’s…” It is fair to have a negative visceral reaction to these people, they do not give a fuck about anybody and they’re on screen, but i’ll just say it for you FUCK THOSE VETERINARIANS! Veterinarians do not come from the same social and economic circumstances as the tranq bros

PERIOD. no amount of Jesus worshipping is going to change the economic system. this guy probably understands that more than you do.

You ever see the owner of a fast food restaurant sitting in his own booths? You never see the boss in any business. Real killers don’t brag about killing, and real hustlers don’t get their hands dirty, especially on tv standing in the trap house loud as a mother fucker.
Brandon Smith
2023-12-13 14:29:32 +0000 UTCIn philly there are different mob presences which ultimately tie to different governments. A lot of the strip clubs in the north east near the ukranian russian parts of town have ex kgb affiliated mobsters. Italian mob used to do more but now they are mostly real estate. the chinese government and mob can be pretty brutal in chinatown and are a big source for fentanyl and it seems like now they are tied to cartel presence in north philly. Idk i just remember an influx of latin american residence and delicious food north of chinatown and Puerto Ricos government was involved in shipping heroin addicts to north philly and then people would use them to collect welfare on their behalf. there was a whole court case on it.

From one human to another-- if you're a real person with a soul, oh man, the bad karma you are building up for yourself is insane. It will be very painful for you when it comes back around. The sooner you start using your personal energy to LIBERATE mankind instead of enslaving it, the better for your soul, your karma, and your future. Clearly you have some intelligence, strength, and soul power. Start using it to uplift your brothers and sisters. Join God's team. It is we who have the last laugh. It feels really good over here. In order to switch teams, you will face intense tests and trials, but you can do it. Godspeed brothers

Brandon Smith
2023-12-13 01:22:32 +0000 UTCYea. If they’re getting xylazine that’s being diverted from a pharm, you’d expect these dudes to have dozens of bottles of it with the labels still on them. They point to some random bottle on the floor saying “that’s the xylazine”. Doesn’t make sense. Maybe they showed Andrew additional proof that he wasn’t able to show in the vid, but it’s hard to take it at face value as is. The guy is scary as shit though.

It takes a level of raw guts and courage balanced with humility and even playfulness. I don't know of many journalists working in America today that could pull this off.
poblano pepper union
2023-12-12 23:00:48 +0000 UTCHe's certainly constructed a moral defense mechanism to distance himself from the system of death and pain he's participating in with a version of "don't shoot the messenger." Instead of viewing himself in any way as responsible, he's chosen to see himself as a cog in larger machine that he's taking advantage of, while shifting the blames to the cartels, and especially the users, as the real source of blame. If this guy had crushing debts to pay off or a family to support and provide for, I could see what he was doing as maybe more understandable, if not really defendable. But it seems like he's just fallen in love with the lifestyle making these deadly drugs has provided. Sadly, he's coming into this from a situation that he describes as "regular poverty", and he may have gotten into his line of work not just because he saw no other viable alternative to moving upwards financially, but because it's what he was surrounded with and brought into.

One thought, maybe blur your film crew's faces for their safety when you're getting deep into this stuff.

2023-12-12 22:03:14 +0000 UTCAwesome work, Andrew. So glad I subscribed to your channel. Something that I feel is worth mentioning is that while the Xylazine epidemic is new to America, it was not invented by these guys or in the last 6 years, as stated in your description. The cutting of xylazine into heroin and fentanyl was a problem in Puerto Rico dating back to the early 2000s, maybe earlier. I'm not sure whether or not they are still dealing with xylazine in Puerto Rico, but I imagine there is a direct correlation between how it was used to cut drugs there and the way it is being used now in the northeastern part of the U.S.

2023-12-12 21:33:43 +0000 UTCThanks for the response. To clarify, I certainly think there are evil people. And I believe this guy in the video is just about as bad as a person can be in general. I just have had the misfortune/fortune to know people like him and some of them worked toward redemption. Albert Fish was never going to work toward redemption. Pol Pot would never have worked toward redemption. Aagin, thank you for engaging with me to talk about this. I appreciate you.

DW
2023-12-12 20:46:10 +0000 UTCI appreciate your sentiment here, and generally agree with the idea of "nobody is evil." But, I think we have to make an exception for people who claim no responsibility to blatant harm they're causing. Someone who sees the damage they're causing, takes advantage of homeless people, employs teenagers into dangerous situations, and thinks they're not responsible? That isn't a product of capitalism, that's just being selfish. While greed and selfishness are products of both capitalism and evilness, his morals would stand in a society not depleted by capitalism.

bd123213
2023-12-12 20:35:32 +0000 UTCIs this guy a human parasite? Absolutely, yes. Is he evil? That is more of a philosophical distinction, and we need to define our terms as to what evil is. An evil person, in my definition, is someone who has no reason to be wicked to their fellow beings but chooses to do so anyway, with no guidance, systemic influence, or grooming necessary; a person who does harm for sport or for their own pleasure. True sadism. An evil person is beyond redemption, and the only rational way to deal with such a person is to end their life, and thereby remove their capacity to do harm. This guy sounds more like he is a product of a capitalist system and has been shaped by different cultural situations to believe that what he does is just business. I don't imagine he hurts babies for fun, kicks puppies to hear them scream, that sort of thing. I believe he still loves his mother, and wants love. Does he deserve all the law can throw at him? Certainly. Is he making the world a worse place? Completely. Is he evil? I don't think so. I think even this guy has some tiny sliver of soul left. He is not Himmler. He is not Mengele. He is a product of capitalism.
