This interview is testament that Shaun is a certified journalist not many people would have been able to get as much information as he did from this guy. I know people are panning the guy in the comment section but he seems slightly nervous.
Aaron Linton- Chambers -well said. I mean bloody hell rhat was painful. Like drawing blood from a stone. And I know Shaun has said he doesn’t get on people with fake stories but . Maybe the guy is crap at telling stories but it’s meant to be about his own experiences but the facts don’t seem to be true/ like he doesn’t know the way Jamaican customs search someone so he explains it without going into too much detail incase he is wrong.
Known Tommy a long time and I can see the toll the "Triple bypass" Meds etc has had on him, not bad for a man of 61. I wish I'd have been a fraction of the places he's been to, born in Warrington put me up in London in the 80s. Has a wicked dry sense of humor. Very humble, generous feller. Keep on Keeping on! Is one of his moto's..
I respect the fact that Tommy though nervous and being interviewed after a traumatic surgery.. Its definitely not easy talking about traumatic events.. Thanks shaun for a job well done.. Best of luck to you Tommy.. Get well soon..
Irons 11 I’m a black yank and I would be beyond horrified! The bastards all pulled out knifes and started placing the blades against his flesh on the very first night in the cell! Tommy must be a very resourceful guy, to have found his place within that prison community. Respect to Tommy!
Nothing like an American or Eastern European prison where your race is relevant. Racism doesn’t really exist in the Caribbean. Don’t get me wrong if you’re looking for trouble you’ll find it very quickly. But extortion and violence isn’t decided on race. More the weak and vulnerable.
This guy Tommy is a sound skin. Respect to this man. One cool bloke to withstand that experience. I find parts of his delivery of the story funny at times the way he describes things so bluntly.
Shuan I watch your interviews /podcasts every evening after work. Their fantastic you are most certainly my TH-camr out there. I found you on true geordie maybe 2 years ago and I've been an avid watcher ever since. Keep um coming brother
Everyone is slating the guest but not everyone is a natural storyteller and it’s probably his first time doing something like this. Plus, I’m more inclined to believe guests like this. It’s not like he’s throwing crazy stories out there that sounds like he’s made them up off the top of his head. He’s just like yeah I was in Jamaican prison, it was fucking horrendous, traumatising stuff but I got through it. Shame we couldn’t get more details but it is what it is. Shaun showing his brilliant interviewing skills as usual though 👍🏼
L Hayes yeah maybe he didn’t go into much detail beCiae it’s. It true. I’m pretty sure Jamaican strip searchs will be more thorough and no laws about a cheeky finger in the bum to search hahaha
Exactly mate I dunno where some people come from moaning about stuff like that the dudes sound he's just being himself that's the whole point off podcasts ain't it not too pretend be something your not lol
Please give the video a thumbs up as Shaun had to work his arse off in this interview. His interviewing skills were put to the test and he did a good job.
Amazing this man managed to write a book about his experience, based on his ability to speak about what happened was very brief almost painful to listen too, not the most reviting podcast. Fair play to him for getting through that experience.
Well done for having lots of questions lined up to ask him , you did a good job of getting Tommy to explain the conditions and circumstances. Has he done a locked up abroad documentary? I'd like to see it if he has .I liked the question , "so what have you got that they want? " Tommy.."fruit " 😃 By the way a book I read when I was briefly in prison was, Were all doing time, by Bo Lozoff.
1985 driving from negril to mo bay..3 o,clock road block , shakedown ,m16s a dozen police..they were going to arrest me but my friend eddie talked them out of it
I agree Shaun is an excellent interviewer. Plus he connected to Tommy even though he was very laid back and not very verbose. If one spends a lot of time in Jamaica, let alone a Jamaican prison, they lose the hyperness of a Londoner or New Yorker ect. Also some people are naturally (or drug induced) slower. Kudos to Shaun as usual.
Hey Shaun and gang!!!!😉 How in the ?!zx did this guy transport drugs from outside of US especially Jamica and didn't know anything about laws????? Also doesn't he remember the most horrible stuff????? Geezzzzz you had to pull his teeth out for his story!!!! Anyway, love your podcasts it keeps me less depressed dealing with cancer alone. Hopefully, starting to visit Europe soon before it's too late!!! KEEP IT GOING!!!😀😀😀❤❤❤❤
Shows how good shaun is as an interviewer. Let's the chatter boxes talk but asks the less talkative guests lots of questions to keep the interview flowing.
I agree. It'll be nice to actually hear the fucking bloke speak without nutjob lefties screaming at him. I dont agree with ALL he says but you'd have to be a bellend to not realise much of what he says makes perfect sense. To hear media tell it, he wants to murder everybody that isnt White. Not until I watched his channel (and PHENOMENAL BBC documentary), that I got a real feel for his cause. They're so good at demonizing people in this country. Pisstake

I mentioned on another post, the surgery probably didn't help. But I like the guy, just followed him on Instagram. Great questions Shaun. You mentioning Mitsi's brought back memories of raving it up in the 90s 🤙👍
As the young sun broke through the branches into graceful shafts of light,I just wanted us to be pure,I just wanted us to be pure.it's a bit like that Tommy
feel sorry for the fella hes clearly struggling with his health, hope he gets better 🙏 the frustrating thing for me about this is he keeps saying "ya know" but I don't, and I want gritty details about things but he don't go into much detail , maybe do it again when has 100 better👍🏼
Real talk Tv LOL. He could play a perfect kingpin in a movie all proper and well spoken like he is but have a sadistic side for people that crossed him. Just casually taking a meat cleaver to someone’s fingers that robbed him all while maintaining his quiet well spoken aura. He would be perfect for something like that IMO. To the outsider his persona would never be suspected but people on the inside fear him knowing his other side and what he’s capable of. Perfect role for that type of character
caps201 I think he would of been good in the gentleman or snowfall maybe lol don't no if he can act or not probably can considering he was a smuggler lol
What have I got myself into? About 5kgs of smoke. A kg of posh and 10k worth of cash by the looks of it. Mate, How can you be surprised? You need supervision ffs 😂
This guy survived prison by being really boring, he wasn’t noticed. The fact managed you to get so much from him was a miracle. Sorry couldn’t watch to end. Hope he’s got a good ghost writer for book.
Shaun have you ever tried to get peter 'posh pete' Tritton on your podcast just saw a small documentary on him. He was an English smuggler who spent 9 years in an Ecuador prison. Bloke looks like he has a story to tell
@Louise Rothwell yes he's a manc but lives in Ladbroke Grove now I think he has done for years . He's involved in music in several venues around Notting hill.
Tommy Kennedy is the reincarnation of John Wayne that's why he mentioned him twice and says spaghetti Western at some point in the interview...He definitely has the voice and slow speed of John Wayne.
Your a natural interviewer one of the best I’ve ever seen

He just had heart surgery too!
His complete indifference to absolutely everything is what probably saved him.
And a lot of ganga with it. It does numb the brain a bit. The bloke needs a break, just had a triple heart bypass!!!
People are saying this blokes hard to interview. I thought he was a good bloke. He’s an interesting fella.
He's had interesting experiences but is poor at conveying them. He still seems in shock and bemused by what happened to this day.
He's got a good story but he's a bit hard work to get the stories out of him but some people are more natural than others at talking.
Yeah agreed. Also he did just have surgery apparently so that may affected things . Anyway he seems like a decent bloke. Good luck to him
Known Tommy a long time and I can see the toll the "Triple bypass" Meds etc has had on him, not bad for a man of 61.
I wish I'd have been a fraction of the places he's been to, born in Warrington put me up in London in the 80s.
Has a wicked dry sense of humor.
Very humble, generous feller.
Keep on Keeping on! Is one of his moto's..
Good to hear that, seems like a decent bloke and I thought he was probably feeling the affects of surgery. Hope he's well
GREAT WORK SHAUN, GETTING THE MOST OUT OF THE GUEST
@@ubersteve3265 nope!
@@ubersteve3265 yea im watching tv adverts instead lol
Shaun earned his money with this interview... hard graft
God,....this was like getting blood out a stone 🙄
Well done for being so patient Shaun
Joe Rogan would love this guys awareness of speaking close to the mic.
the old fella said DA BATTYMAN WING
im in tears...
As a man myself who's served 3 years in Jamaica. Truly it was hell on earth!
Ldot M yeh bruv ok sure yeh
What were you in for? Only white guy?
Yeah, was caught with 2kg cocaine in my possession
@@LdotMillward how long time u got
Served 2 years 9 months, spent 1 month in jail. But jail time doesn't come off your sentence
Good work shaun it was the most guided interview tommy shouldn't of had that spliff before the interview.
I respect the fact that Tommy though nervous and being interviewed after a traumatic surgery.. Its definitely not easy talking about traumatic events.. Thanks shaun for a job well done.. Best of luck to you Tommy.. Get well soon..
Excellent interview, dont know why so many negative comments?
Being the only white man in a Jamaican prison must be a lonely and intimidating place to be , thanks Shaun & Tommy , nice one 👍😎

Cheers to Tommy from California! RESPECT!

I like this bloke. You can tell he the real deal. Tight lips ya know.
Dry guest, but that's just who he is I guess. Unbelievable story.
Most writers aren't natural speakers. S'why writing is their preferred method of communication. We should probably go read his book :P
@@chrish8764 im with you 100%...thats why I said that just who he is.

What a great interview old hand. Great stories in the face of adversity.
Everybody’s a critic but I liked the guy . Seems like a humble guy ,not full of himself.

Please give the video a thumbs up as Shaun had to work his arse off in this interview. His interviewing skills were put to the test and he did a good job.
Don't bother reading the comments just listen to it first... Great one again guys!
Amazing this man managed to write a book about his experience, based on his ability to speak about what happened was very brief almost painful to listen too, not the most reviting podcast.
Fair play to him for getting through that experience.
Like pulling teeth getting any type of conversation out of him!! Good work Sean
You expect too much he talks like a normal person just being himself...
When you going to do Ronnie Pickering?
Who
@Persona non grata who the fucks Ronnie fucking Pickering
Warren Edward you tube him it’s hilarious Ronnie fucking Pickering
Terrifying 😲
Haha would love to see that 😂😂
Play at 1.50 speed can get through it quicker lol.

Is it that bad?

I've just finished Tommy's book. Fantastic read.
Chapter one.
"I can't really describe it."
The end.
Pure manc
This lad is unintentionally hilarious 😂
Hes from Warrington
Best 1 yet, we need more of these stories again Shaun
Shows how good shaun is as an interviewer. Let's the chatter boxes talk but asks the less talkative guests lots of questions to keep the interview flowing.
Your are the chatta box
Get Tommy Robinson on!!!!!
he's on, check the channel

Great interview Shawn. This cat was cool. It's like Cinderella man does time in Jamaican Prison.
It's like getting blood out of stone this guy the first 8mins had me in stitches😂😂😂
This man will be a great accomplice at least you know for sure he won't talk. 😂🤣😂🤣
I mentioned on another post, the surgery probably didn't help. But I like the guy, just followed him on Instagram. Great questions Shaun. You mentioning Mitsi's brought back memories of raving it up in the 90s 🤙👍
Thank you Shaun! 😊
Fascinating chap. Great interview Shaun.
The Jamaicans found a right mule in this guy❕
When this guy decides to pull your brain out through your ears,via some diabolical poetry,look polite, an focus on the fridge magnets
As the young sun broke through the branches into graceful shafts of light,I just wanted us to be pure,I just wanted us to be pure.it's a bit like that Tommy
@@thomaspickles4196 WTF are u on about lad❔🤔 “An Eye For An Eye Will Make The Whole World Blind” ✌🏽
I wish you all the best
I was trying to listen to this to go to sleep as I sometimes do and this guy is literally so boring and dull he couldn’t even put me to sleep.
Same bro I'm pissed off now comfort eating apples at 1.40 am
Contrary to some of the more recent comments. Personally I found Tommy's story interesting. Sober and without exaggeration or embellishment.
This interview was like pulling teeth.
feel sorry for the fella hes clearly struggling with his health, hope he gets better 🙏 the frustrating thing for me about this is he keeps saying "ya know" but I don't, and I want gritty details about things but he don't go into much detail , maybe do it again when has 100 better👍🏼
Another great interview. Many thanks.
When we getting David back still waiting for him to read me a bedtime story in his peaceful voice lol no homo
ann mason I know I have asked David on his channel and he said it will be soon go over and ask him hopefully we get the rest

Cant wait!
I love this guy. He’s Tommy the third
I’ve known Tommy for years he called himself Franchessca when he lived in Thailand
Great interview Shaun!!
This guys cracking me up leaning in to the mic, he'll have sore abs tomorrow
Keep up the good work shaun, surely you can afford a couple of de'longhi heaters to keep you guys warm dude, £24 notes for one! ;o)
Great story teller
Very sound guy,not seen him in 10 years
The more I hear him says do you know what I mean the more I think do you know what I mean
What have I got myself into? About 5kgs of smoke. A kg of posh and 10k worth of cash by the looks of it. Mate, How can you be surprised? You need supervision ffs 😂
Great interview, well done lads
This is the best
But he survived so that just goes to show how respectful Jamaicans are really.
He sounds like Fred Dibner.
So obscure but spot on
Fred’s from Bolton this lad is from Warrington but I’ve got freinds from Wigan who do sound a bit similar to this lad
Tommy’s a great guy
This guy is actually funny
OG vibe, keeping the cards close to his chest.
Watching this is like having teeth pulled. Shaun must have been regretting he invited this guy on his show.
You done well there Shaun. Thanks
This guy survived prison by being really boring, he wasn’t noticed. The fact managed you to get so much from him was a miracle. Sorry couldn’t watch to end. Hope he’s got a good ghost writer for book.
I love his yea at the end of every sentence 😂
Where is your new Epstein videos? Did you give up on it?
Hes proper funny, been cracking up..
Tommy had his own chef
Not exactly a criminal mastermind is he?
Looks like ross kemp if he had hair
UK RPGFan does a bit!
Looks more like him than not.

Shaun have you ever tried to get peter 'posh pete' Tritton on your podcast just saw a small documentary on him. He was an English smuggler who spent 9 years in an Ecuador prison. Bloke looks like he has a story to tell
Tommy looks like something out of Flash Gordon
Can’t waaiiiiiiiiiiit for thissss.....🤗🤗👊
Good for you mate
Great guest and story as always just a shame shaun had to keep promting questions and the guest didn't make his story flow
I enjoyed this aswell,different sort of guy to the normal guest.
Man that was hard work
The Silence Of The Tommys
Relaxing voice wow
It was the Air port switch that got me
I just bought the book off amazon
What do you want,a medal?
Ur a great interviewer.
Tommy is a good man seen him about portobello road
@Louise Rothwell yes portobello road market, Notting hill. He's always on the scene . Top bloke
@Louise Rothwell yes he's a manc but lives in Ladbroke Grove now I think he has done for years . He's involved in music in several venues around Notting hill.
@Louise Rothwell no worries
Must have been like pulling teeth in this interview! Blimey! I’m exhausted watching
Is it me or is Shaun pulling teeth with this guy, its torture i give up after 20 mins
Same, gave up on this, it's a proper dry interview.
I like people who don't get caught
My opinion is🤔 Lock up all Drug dealers up throw away the key.Drug dealers destroy innocent lives.shame on you?? You deserved your punishment 😠😡
Heroin would sharpen up this fella.
😂😂😂😂 that's a good one
WE WNAT DAVID M M,ALL DAY EVERY DAY
Tommy Kennedy is the reincarnation of John Wayne that's why he mentioned him twice and says spaghetti Western at some point in the interview...He definitely has the voice and slow speed of John Wayne.
Lol, the Jamaican prisoners were just taking the piss out of you bro. Like you figured out, it was just a bit of banter, lol.
