@@Jason.cbr1000rr yea but for some reason pple on the outside will actually kill themselves over debt or loss of cash flow quicker than an inmate will kill themselves over debt.
Your production is getting way better, keep up the good work! some of the most insightful things about prison and life in general. 2/3rds of what you guys talk about is just good advice anywhere.
I work with a lot of young men and women in a drug treatment center and appreciate what you do. They think it’s a game, thank you for keeping it real about what’s really waiting for these kids when they go down the wrong road❤️
Why do women use drugs? Whats their main reason? In your opinion cos for men it would be masking some sort of pain and avoiding atress and stuff. Im speaking daily addicts not casual partty goers. Thanks 😊
@@Jason.cbr1000rr In my experience there is a pretty common theme of trauma and/or mental illness. There are so many reasons I could go on and on. Nature vs nurture kind of thing. Sometimes you hear someone’s story and it’s so horrific you instantly understand. Developing a drinking problem later in life is common with bariatric surgery patients. A lot of people start with prescribed meds and take a long pathway down. Divorce. Shitty parents. Covid… the reasons are endless for men and women. I’m a recovering addict, working on 4 years of total sobriety after 10-15 years of using heroin and whatever else was around . My childhood was great, no other addictions in my family. Started using in high school to fit in and checked out from life. 8 trips to rehab in 8 years, three trips to jail, multiple overdoses, homelessness etc etc. I only say that to say that recovery IS possible.
Big Herc is truly a pioneer. Very intelligent and amicable man. For sure he has a scary side but he's really sharing some valuable information for some. For others, he puts things into perspective and gives another take on things. People get to see the bigger picture and that can only be a good thing considering the raw nature of the content.
Yea. Me an idiot. Me got a lot to talk like a baby about. Me got cool talk right? Hahaha. You loser, trying to sound cool by speaking like an infant. . .me think prison be cool. . .
Such interesting conversations, Big Herc. Thanks for posting. This guest, articulate and intelligent, seems like a nice man. It's shocking how matter of fact he is about stabbing and beating up people. Great podcast. Longtime fan here.
The truth is the worst of us all could have been very good men, people naturally do want to be good. But sometimes we get screwed up along the way, and it takes a lot to rewire the mind
@@Bonsoirmonamie not according to Machiavelli "all men are evil & will act upon their vicious nature if given the chance". After all we are animals & of all animals we have the most complex brain systems and are the most intelligent. Break that down to ppl in general, there's normally a thin line between genius & psychopathy. Sure most ppl like to present themselves as good, but deep down in our genetic make up it just isnt true. We are the most dangerous species on the planet
That shit is real. Thankfully most of us (including me) haven’t been through such situations. Much respect for the intelectual and moral growth the gentlemen tha big Herc interviews. It makes me happy seeing people making real effort on changing their lives and succeeding at that.
Big Herc,you got some great content as always but your opening editing is on point.You got some previous guest all blown up by first being on your channel.WW is living large because of your introduction and for the rest of we learn lessons every show.
Been listening to your channel for a min now. Shit has really changed. Back when I did time in Nevada, the 90's....time was a bit different. NSP was no joke either. Not your California prisons, but tough enough to remember. Seems like a different life, a different lifetime ago, but it always sticks with you. I still have prison habbits, like flushing the damn toilet a couple times while I take a shit....lol. I was able to put most of that behind me, but my name follwed me around for a long time. Well, actually....my dad's name follwed me around for a long time afterwards. It's a different experience when your name is recognized, even if you are not. Robert Alton Harris Sr.
I have far more respect for someone like Garrett who once lived in darkness, but has now elevated himself to a much higher vibration, than I do for many here in the free world. We have everything you could want here, but great numbers of people choose to live in a very low spiritual condition. Or completely disconnected from higher thought and intention. I like that he didn't cover his tattoos, to remember who he used to be. That's real. But that's not who he is now. Our society has entered a stage where the very concept of forgiveness is being abandoned and disparaged in homogeneous mass culture. As though a man cannot ever change his heart. But he can. This is a far greater achievement than simply skating through life without ever having done anything that bad, but never doing anything good either. I only hope I can uplift myself as substantially as this.
You're talking nonsense. This guy was far worse than people in a low "spirirtual condition". Some of you get so carried away when you watch these videos about people who change their lives you forget that the vast majority of people live good lives from the start. I would not want to be anywhere near this guy before he changed. If you were one of his victims you wouldn't be stlaying anything.
GTFO HERE!!! Somebody cruising thru life minding they're business is fine by me. They don't owe me anything and them staying out of the way is a courtesy. I'm worried about the m*therf#cker out to get me. I don't give a damn whether he reforms himself after the fact. Some flawed moralistic bullshit right there sonny
Great video always like the connections you can build on camera, by the end I am more enjoying the company than the stories. Not that the stories are not the topic, but it is the quality of the people that make a video an experience. Thanks again
It's always inspiring to see people like Garrett who basically lifted himself from the depths of hell to become what he is today. With God ALL things are possible.
My homie went to the pen for stabbing someone that called his Pops “Mop Closet Marvin”. Said he wouldn’t spill a drop. I just thought he was a good janitor but it all makes sense now.
Met a guy who went to prison that used to joke that "If you wanna kill yourself in prison, just front some drugs and don't pay the guy back!" It seemed pretty true, and this reinforces that lmao
after many hours of prison stories, i still have no clue how things work, or how anyone survives.. seems like everyone is targeted and if u even breath wrong direction u in trouble.. but so many guys still alive /// and and actually get out
Big Herc looks like the type of dude you would want for a cellie. I would be joking around and chillin the whole time if I was bunked up with that dude. Inspirational.
Don't be fooled. He's cool because he's free on the streets right now. Being locked up changes people and there's not too many people having fun inside.
Hey, how bout bringing someone on to talk about how the dealers get guys hooked on drugs in prison. It's just like the streets. First couple times are free or maybe even mandatory.
Thats something I never could understand when I was locked up. This dude STEALS from an INNOCENT hard working person on the street, then gets mad at his lawyer for getting him 7 years instead of 5, like NON OF THIS IS HIS FAULT. Then somebody steals from him and all a sudden he aint having that. Wow Its true, STUPIDITY BREEDS HYPOCRISY.
The crazy thing is inside these two wouldn't be allowed to shake hands let alone sit and chat for couple hours. Ignorence at its finest. Divide and conquer
lol herc makes me laugh when he does that thing with his eyes where its like hes lookin at the ceiling 😂..but some serious stuff theyre talkin about..😭
Wish his interviews were longer . And I wanted to know what happened after the riot, did the two guys live? Was it peace after that, how does that get resolved ?
Them 2 guys got shipped out to a different prison. And the racial tension just went back to normal after the lockdown of maybe a week or 2 or 3 or 3months. Lockdowns are completely arbitrary
This guy is a great guest. Definitely need to keep him around.
Ok I will bro
@@chrishandsome4267 offer him a stool to sit on.
@ Chris having $ problems lately bro..
@@chrishandsome4267 “ I came here looking for booty, but I ain’t got no milk or cookies. Booty is more important than water, man” 😂😂
This dude is one of the best guests I've seen on this show. For those of us who been down it's inspiring.
Finish the dam story on house. What happened to him man? WTF. Host needs to stay on top of the story bro.
Wes Watson is best and I know the man who took his butt
Ghost as well have a good voice for telling stories
Amazing to see how this man turned his life around. Went from where he was back in the day to sharing stories with Big Herc. Simply amazing.
It’s how you die on the outside too, it’s called consumer debt and it crushes you
Thats true. Except on the outside its more subtle and slowly pain and damaging. Inside is almost hard straight up instant pain!
The difference is that you go bankrupt and you don't get shanked to death.
@@Jason.cbr1000rr yea but for some reason pple on the outside will actually kill themselves over debt or loss of cash flow quicker than an inmate will kill themselves over debt.

Another great video, always good advice. Owing people money for drug or gambling is never good for your health, even on the outside.
Owing money to the wrong people outside of prison can be hazardous to your health also.

Keep your head to the sky, King
A story of redemption. Wonderful testimony. You are not your past; you are the present. Thank you Garret

I've heard from another you tuber that looking at another inmate in prison is disrespectful I notice that herk doesn't give eye contact
I love when Herc look's up to the side, and starts giving his information and formulating his next inquiry...my dude LoL...
Need more from him he is great with telling his story
I like how your not glorifying it but you are telling it like it is, keep it up. Deliver the message
Keep Mashing on em Big Herc! The youngins need this info 🙏🏾🙌🏾
So they get to stabbing lol 😂
Thanks for the video herc. Very informative as always bro
What’s up Big Herc! Watching from my hometown of Beaumont, Tx right now.
Crazy interview. Would like to hear more about Beaumont and Arizona.
Love your new intro Herc. Great production value.
Another good video, thank you Hurc, always good starting a day with your videos
It's always inspiring to see people like Garrett who basically lifted himself from the depths of hell to become what he is today. With God ALL things are possible.
Honestly wasn’t expecting this type of conversation. Kudos to you two- letting us know what happens in there
Also it’s sad how many people are messed up by dope :(
Th inevitable talk of cheek busting never fails to delight Big Herc!
My homie went to the pen for stabbing someone that called his Pops “Mop Closet Marvin”. Said he wouldn’t spill a drop. I just thought he was a good janitor but it all makes sense now.
I'm sorry, of all of this, steel toe boots in prison is what catches me off guard the most.
The force you to work jobs that Osha requires steel toe boots ... prison is a business
This interview was solid crazy how it goes behind those walls eye opening for sure
Who disliked this video? These people are giving you life lessons and knowledge
#GODFACT
What was the knife fight outcome? I wanna know if either house or DC came out alive
Me too
Seriously...who won?!?!?!?!
2yrs and I'm still wondering
Met a guy who went to prison that used to joke that "If you wanna kill yourself in prison, just front some drugs and don't pay the guy back!"
It seemed pretty true, and this reinforces that lmao
Great video Herc..keep them hits coming.
Don’t teach your children how to shoot people instead teach your children how to fight 💯
after many hours of prison stories, i still have no clue how things work, or how anyone survives.. seems like everyone is targeted and if u even breath wrong direction u in trouble.. but so many guys still alive /// and and actually get out
If listening to this man ( both for that matter ) doesn't deter you from bad decisions I don't know what will !
Big Herc looks like the type of dude you would want for a cellie. I would be joking around and chillin the whole time if I was bunked up with that dude. Inspirational.
Don't be fooled. He's cool because he's free on the streets right now. Being locked up changes people and there's not too many people having fun inside.
Till he busts your cheeks.
You’re naive if you think Big Herc was exactly like this in prison. Especially not in a USP, ain’t no games and jokes in there lol
respect, keep up, big herc! crazy stories 🔥
Punctuation marks almost on point.
Love the content man keep it up 👊
Great show and information.
“All gangster credibility goes out the window” 🤣🤣🤣
I wasted all of my 30s in prison....I'm 50 now....I still have nightmares
Did they take your buducy
Buducy 😂😂
Hey, how bout bringing someone on to talk about how the dealers get guys hooked on drugs in prison. It's just like the streets. First couple times are free or maybe even mandatory.
Herc introduced cheek bustin right at the end😂
I ate a concusion granade in a hallway (riot) in the feds.... It had blood coming outa my ear and both of my nostrils! Not fun at all
They hating on you hurk. You should be at a million subscribers at least by now
BIG Herc #1 in my books keep up the great content
Well that 18 minutes flew right by... great interview!
I enjoy this dudes humility
This is one of your best guests Big Herc.
Always the best content

This is a really good interview.
i enjoyed this epithode! keep up the good work Big herc
Is he talking about bloody Beaumont
What is the time frame to pay a debt
Big herc what’s good bro keep up the great work
This is so crazy. I wish you had a glossary attached to your page with translations for prison words.
Another great video Big Herc and Garret Deetz cheers! Big Herc must be talking about Big Mike 16:10 lol
Big Herc looks like he might have had a bicep tear (right bicep). Could just be a naturally short muscle belly though.
Big Herc got some huge shoulder/tri-cep hybrid muscle going on
Always on point
Big herc can you ask Garrett where he got that shirt from? It's dope I would like to buy one
I know he’s always been a big dude, but Herc is looking extra swole in this lol.
What does it mean to check in?
The crazy thing is inside these two wouldn't be allowed to shake hands let alone sit and chat for couple hours. Ignorence at its finest. Divide and conquer
I wonder what’s on the ceiling, he keep getting distracted 😂
First!!! Like this guy. Reminds me of my skater unc. Thanks for all you do big herc
A 2 minute knife fight is deadly
Is it me or does this guy sound like Edsel dope from the band dope?
Did house live or die???
i think this guy might be the best guest ive seen on here right before ghost.
"We're not here to glamorize prison life"- Herc LMFAO 🤣
Moved from West Germany to Beaumont when I was a kid.
Great choice fam.
Im not goin to prison dawg, I can't do it🤣
Bloody Beaumont.. I wonder if ol boy was in there with Tim Sno from Texas Prison Stories...
Salute from Detroit 👌👌
1 of the best guests
lol herc makes me laugh when he does that thing with his eyes where its like hes lookin at the ceiling 😂..but some serious stuff theyre talkin about..😭
He stay doing that shh 😂
Nice editing with that intro!!
Im currently doing life in ADX Florence, its quiet all right.
For what?
yay new video, love you herc!
This is a good guy to have on the show for sure
Garrett is a great guest. Looks like he's really got his life together. That's awesome. He has some great stories. Prison sounds fucking awful.
Wish his interviews were longer . And I wanted to know what happened after the riot, did the two guys live? Was it peace after that, how does that get resolved ?

Dope interview Hurk
They aint even say nuthan bout the no hands policy… Whats no hands policy mean..?
Means no hands on people, you dont fight to solve disputes, breaking rules is solved by stabbing, keeps people in line i guess
Big Herc is talking, so hold it down.
Wig splitters, check in.
Punks, Peter gazers, and Wolf ticket peddlers, stay home.
So what happened in the first fight between house and the black dude?
Big Herc keeping it real!
