The Unlikely Setting: A Trap House in Dallas
The narrative begins by introducing the concept of a "trap house," typically an abandoned property used for illegal activities like drug dealing, gambling, and sex work. The hosts clarify that while movies often exaggerate, the reality of these locations is grim. They describe a trap house as a "very, very illegal CVS" where one hopes not to step on someone slumped on the floor, pays for drugs, and leaves with the intention of feeling better. Each trap house is unique, ranging from non-government-approved pharmacies to manufacturing points where drugs are created in kitchens, not labs. The term "trap house" is believed to originate from the single entry/exit point, designed to prevent robberies. However, the hosts note that smart dealers would never keep their stash in such a vulnerable location, opting instead for a "stash house."
