This podcast is very important for the young generations. As a young man i appreciate Big Herc and all his guests for sharing their life stories and wisdom with the world.
@@JS-uw1pr but at one point they where wanna be tough guys... You don't just become tough in an instance, you have to want it then you become what you want to be if you have the mentality. If someone tougher than them comes around then they want to show that he is tougher than the other dude. Everyone human has emotions and getting scared is one of them. Just because you don't show it doesn't mean you don't get scared. So the statement is true. Even the tough guys will say it, mabey not to everyone but they will tell you if they want to
I needed to hear this Herc. Ive been watch from the beginning and never wrote a comment.. Im 37 been through the system in nyc and the state.. Positivity is paramount...
Another great video! Never been to prison, never want to lol. Just out here on my grind taking care of my moms and sisters. Built a nice garden and getting plenty of free produce!
I been there and it sucks always think before you act nobody is above the law. I got into it in the drive-thru at McDonald's had to bite my tongue and move on. Yeah taking care of family and a garden is heaven compared to that place
It really is. It is a lonely, cold and sad existence in there. I've been dumb enough to serve in 3 different countries..and though some places may be better it's still a sad place to be.
This message is the biggest one that needs to be heard man said "I missed my 20s my 30s and half of my 40s"...we have to change so this is not our future anymore never stepped into the feds but the states and the locals all know my name and i support everything I heard today
Hello Big Herc, Let me clear up something you asked about in this video. Garrett mentions an inmate called "Bonzai Bob" who was in for a car jacking and ended up with the death penalty! I was in Arizona at the time it happened. The inmate was Robert Vickers. He was small, and about 19, if I recall correctly. His celly was a convicted murderer. They had a disagreement and the celly said he was going to kill Bob. Either that night or soon after, Bob killed him in his sleep, then carved his name or something on the guys back. Bob said that with that guy, it was either kill or be killed! He thought the carving would make him appear tough and people would leave him alone. i don't remember if there were others he attacked, but he ended up on death row.
Knew about Vickers for some time since i lived in Vegas and so naturally we got a lot of news from Arizona. From Copper Area News-"In February of 1978, he stabbed Homer Burns with a shank (prison made weapon). He was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 10 to 15 years. This set the stage for Vickers to earn his nickname and reputation."
I have been home an done with the life for 2yrs an 4 mos an have become a real father-husband- brother. Finally i have the respect i was always lookin for in the wrong places.. This video hit me in the heart, so close to home- i wish the best the universe has to offer you Herc. You are an inspiration. Thank you man.
It’s kinda insane than in a facility meant for rehabilitation, you may be forced to do something that can put you away for life and if you resist, it may literally cost you your life. There’s too much money being made from private prisons for this to be possible.
Dudes story sounds a bit like mine. When you’re young drugs, money, women, respect, that life is the ultimate lure for a young man who doesn’t know any better. You go in at 20-21 years old and realize how bad you F”d everything off. You realize those dudes aren’t playing, you go in a boy basically around a bunch of thirsty wolves and society wonders why dudes come out messed up. This message is very important, thank you for everything you do Herc.
I piloted a substance use program in the Jails in Buffalo, NY. It's a great program that allowed us to address substance use so that we could work with them once they were released. We could do daily groups and individual sessions. Also, door to door from jail to an outpatient clinic or inpatient treatment. I absolutely loved doing counseling in the jails. But what this man said about laws and changes for people like him - he's right. We were shielded from the hardcore people and we never even saw them. The program was for level inmates and was very laid back. We were able to reach a lot of people inside to help them get themselves together outside....but only the low level folks.
Big Herc, this is one of the videos that really got to me. Thank you you both, a real man takes care and raise their family. You do not have to carry a gun, your familial responisbilities and the way you handle them makes you a man. I wish I could show this one and all of your other clips to my clients in LA. At 32:55 he said something memorable for me, "My whole life I've played man, I was a boy playing man". Thats powerful.
Never been in and I know I'm not missing anything in there. I once heard a veteran inmate with 45 years say, "You can do hard time or you can do smooth time." The smoothest time there is - out here taking care of you and yours handling legitimate business. This interveiw confirms that. Thank you for all you do and being a voice of reason amidst all the chaos.
You can't through people in a Cage and expect them to come out as people. In Australia it's different but.some of my friend can't live outside.they miss being Who they were in jail. I'm glad someone can speak for us. Someone has to.
Hey herc, hope all is well with you. My middle brother(I'm the oldest) is doing 25 to life in California(down from 75 to life). He was shot up in 07 and after multiple surgeries to stop bleeding and sepsis and a coma, he barely survived. 2 years later, he caught a case. He has a colostomy bag to this day, big California zipper and all the bullet hole scars and even after all that, it only made him more of a nut. He's in pelican bay now up in the SHU and is a real one now in la EME. He's only 31(about to be 32) and all I have to say is that in his case, his mentality has always been down for anything, anytime and not so smart and that's the reason why now he's up there calling shots. Cause though crime is dumb, he's learned to be smart at criminal sh*t in there. I was always down too and at 11 I was shot myself and barely made it after surgery(California zipper). My mentality changed until I was 20 and my son was born. Him being born snapped me out of it and I'm thankful for that, because I was doing real dirt and could have caught a case or get dusted. Some fools just have that mentality, but it isn't enough. You need to have certain qualities like the ability to keep your word, use people and know how to read people and how to act and navigate to achieve what you want. Friendly when needed, but heartless when time calls. I'm like that in a sense in that at work, people gravitate towards me and I'm pretty good at reading fools. Never speaking on someone's business and for whatever reason, fools tell me a lot of stuff. I build rapport with people pretty well. At work it makes my life easier and co workers are down to do me solids, no questions asked. I respect all, but trust none, not ever being a pos or f*cking someone over. I'm glad I took a different path in life, but even outside, I feel there are those few individuals that if faced with prison, can have the potential to lead and be a shot caller.
Great interview, absolutely 💯 truth in this interview, those of us that have lived it can relate, I got out of feds "Beaumont" and haven't looked back, I'm now employed by the government to help those before they get to prison, from being in riots and and transfered all over the country to being free and giving something back has all been a part of God's plans for me and I just embrace it now.
Thanks Deetz you brought a lot of light to me brother I went blind in Arizona 2015 and thankfully I found a great wife and know have a beautiful 4 year old daughter and awesome life
Glad Garrett and Merc have chosen a different path. You can see the "life" in them now.......to where once upon a time it was only death that followed. Kudos to you guys that are helping others find peace.....and a reason to live.
Can get caught in the system quick. I violated probation in 2012 and was sentenced to a year. Got in a fight in the jail I was in and the district attorney pressed charges and gave me 2-4 in prison. After that I thought for sure I'd catch another case within that 2-4 years. Couldn't even stay out of trouble for a few months in county.
Hey big dog I like you channel. I personally have never been in prison....Central booking once. Keep doing what you do brother. Hopefully what you do keeps some kid in the free world. Blessings.
Yo Big Herc, I hope you enjoying AZ bro! God Bless you man. You brought respect to a hustle. You know whats sad is old Street cats are the only ones with old school morals. Respect ✊🏼
I'm glad this video is out so ppl can see that Federal prison isn't a joke. A lot of ppl think Fed prison is a cake walk w/ tennis courts & pool tables
It's a crime this movie only made 3.4 million. Such a great movie. At the end I was hoping for the happy ending and he would have taken the deal but I understand why he didn't. Just shows how changed and broken a man can become if he is forced into a life he didn't have a choice in.
senators, high end treatment center owners, ASU professors. He nailed it they all have masters and phd degrees and never spent time at the lower end jobs in the trenches but yet they got all the "ideas". Another one Big Herc
Great messages for the youngters, or people in general in this interview. And, this is not just a message for people who've done bad, but for people who are trying to stay on the right path of doing good. Great content here. This guy is a miracle, doing all those years and being a violent criminal, now making a difference. Only God can do that.
Love Shot Caller! No idea how accurate it is, but it seemed pretty legit. Love the way how the hero has that little spark of Alpha at the start even tho he's square. He just gradually turns that up to 11.
@@brotherhec2403 yeh of course, and there are other things that are a bit wack too. Like right at the start, the Woods would have got Money squared away and out of harms way until he'd had time to get wise. So that fight would have never happened. Other stuff too, BUT it's a damn good movie.
Damn this was a good interview. A lot to take in and think about. A LOT of young kids could save themselves a lot of pain and heartache by taking this all in.
There are realizations by some hardcore guys that life isnt easy but the effort put into supporting yourself and loved ones is more gangster than violence. Whatever helps to enlighten others is a beautiful example.
I like what you said. A wise og of mine said the most gangster shyt ever is working 9-5 coming home, providing for your gf/wife and child(s), enjoying your hobbies and interests alone or most of all spend time with your loved ones, your family. 😎 that feeling of you taking care and ensuring shyt is ok not only for your own life but your bvtches and kids life.
Never been in prison. Never been a g. University-educated, serving in the Canadian military. There's a lot of great points here raised by both dudes about what is tough, what is a gangsta, what is a man ? The idea of redefining all that to something more true is critical. Question though is this: you have both outlined how the system is setup for the kind of failure that you have experienced as inmates. How for example though, do you be your own man when you're in a car ? I guess the answer is you don't. You be your own man by not getting into the kind of shit that will lead you to prison. Once there, seems like it's more question of riding in the car while avoiding any unnecessary violence (some is essential where its about your rep).
It’s a little frustrating to hear him say “you don’t have to be about that tough guy bs” when from his own experience in prison you kind of have to do it to survive.
He’s sayin more of before you get to that point where youre facing years in prison. Live simple and lame and stay away so you don’t have to be about it
Very inspirational video guys. I hope some young man that’s on the wrong path hears the message y’all tryna put out. We need to change our way of thinking & make the right choices. Life is a struggle. Wether your rich or poor. White or black. Be happy with what the lord & your actions have gotten you. Because somewhere in this world 🌎 someone has less.
Awesome as usual. Big ups to Big Herc and Garrett for this interview and positive message. A great reminder to do the next right thing and live the dream life.
Yo.... I love it when BigHerc says "Oh is that right?..." HAHAHAHA. Anytime someone selling wolf tickets, I need that a sound bite of that to play IRL.
I know nothing about the system, but i have a friend that once in a while trys to explain to me how it is/was for him. He actually told me that "shot caller" is the closest movie he has seen, to showing how prison really is.
My prison husband did 17 years before he turned me out during my bit and I can confirm Shot caller is the real deal. Although I’ve had things much larger than a balloon of drugs in my purse lol
Did 4 years in Leavenworth… not alot of time in Federal numbers but man, this just gave me so many flashbacks… its a medium but its still prison n idc what nobody says that ain’t the life for me no more… proud of both of yall man frfr its hard to beat this cycle of recidivism 💯 i been home 5 years too and haven’t looked back never haven’t had a job since halfway house got my CDL within a year, bout to buy my first truck married a beautiful woman have a 2 year old daughter. Great bond with the daughter i left when the ATF came n got me… change ain’t easy but man i thank God fa putting me in jail when he did and it was FeD time… its a whole new world in that system… come home stay free💯
Yeah man it's hard as hell to get up everyday and go to work constantly for 30 years. Day in and day out dealing with people and handling responsibilities. 💯
This podcast is very important for the young generations. As a young man i appreciate Big Herc and all his guests for sharing their life stories and wisdom with the world.
The wisdom. Don't get caught
Don't get caught or get caught up in things that can land you in prison. That's the main lesson I hear over and over.
A smart man learns from his mistakes a wise man learns from the mistakes of others
I’m 24 but been watching for a few years now homie
Im really digging the 60 min type of set up really gives it a news worthy info type of feel. Good production as usual herc

I been there and it sucks always think before you act nobody is above the law. I got into it in the drive-thru at McDonald's had to bite my tongue and move on. Yeah taking care of family and a garden is heaven compared to that place
Nothin better 💪🏻😂
That’s awesome! How many moms you have? I’m glad I just have one would be cool to have many
Dont be dumb stay out
Prison is so much scarier than I ever imagined. I am already telling my young son about it. Thanks so much for sharing
Tell him about Fleece Johnson
It really is. It is a lonely, cold and sad existence in there. I've been dumb enough to serve in 3 different countries..and though some places may be better it's still a sad place to be.

This was a great podcast B Herc!. Very inspiring. 👍 thanx again.
Y'all two are very positive. I hope you two continue to spread the positivity. Much respect!!!
Thank you for giving people a voice
I really appreciate this channel. After doing 2 years in TX, and 4 years in AR, there are a lot of misconceptions about prison. Real is Real
You can't through people in a Cage and expect them to come out as people. In Australia it's different but.some of my friend can't live outside.they miss being Who they were in jail. I'm glad someone can speak for us. Someone has to.
Dang. The production quality on these is fire. Doing awesome!
Nicely Said Brother. Being a Tough Guy was simple compared to being a father and role model. Real Gangster 💯
That movie is a great example of the problem with the "Justice" system. Money was a financial advisor or something and ended up as what he became.
Money got the keys now
Always great information. Because of channels like yours prison is a place I will never try to end up in.

One the best videos yet. Glad you made it
This channel is making a real impact.
This is about to make me cry.
Props to you guys for the work you're doing here
I’ve heard someone say “you don’t need to be undefeated but you do need to have perfect attendance”
I needed this message today👊
The baby crying in the background somehow made this even better in regards to what they’re discussing. I don’t really know how to explain it…
Fantastic interview!
I know nothing about the system, but i have a friend that once in a while trys to explain to me how it is/was for him. He actually told me that "shot caller" is the closest movie he has seen, to showing how prison really is.
My prison husband did 17 years before he turned me out during my bit and I can confirm Shot caller is the real deal. Although I’ve had things much larger than a balloon of drugs in my purse lol
Felon was pretty good too
Wood is a G. You can tell he's speaking firsthand experience. Good bless you two. There's light at the end of the tunnel. 💯
Great interview!
Did 4 years in Leavenworth… not alot of time in Federal numbers but man, this just gave me so many flashbacks… its a medium but its still prison n idc what nobody says that ain’t the life for me no more… proud of both of yall man frfr its hard to beat this cycle of recidivism 💯 i been home 5 years too and haven’t looked back never haven’t had a job since halfway house got my CDL within a year, bout to buy my first truck married a beautiful woman have a 2 year old daughter. Great bond with the daughter i left when the ATF came n got me… change ain’t easy but man i thank God fa putting me in jail when he did and it was FeD time… its a whole new world in that system… come home stay free💯
