Lawton discussed being known as the biggest jewel robber in America and recounted stories from his criminal past. To hear more, view the rest of the interview above.
This is the quietest I've ever heard Vlad. This felt like the fastest hour and half. Larry can sure tell a story, I can listen to him talk all day.
Vlad knows hes talking to an OG not some shit tier rapper.
@KingMike Thanks, I discovered his channel after watching this interview. I've been binge watching his videos all day.
When you're interviewing a charismatic personality with an interesting story, it's best to allow them to speak in narrative as opposed to constant Q&A. Most interviewees don't have the ability to speak in narrative.
Larry was not talking about Tupac so Vlad did not have many questions
When your talking or telling the truth ppl will pay attention and listen 98% of ppl need a person to follow. crazy part is that the story how he said that he went to talk to the D.Ts these dummies will call him a rat. lol clowns.
Larry when recalling the day he was born : Ill never forget
When asked about his partners : I forget
Best comment!! Hahaaa!! XD
Lmfaooo
That's how it should be
THAT was funny.
Hahahha
He played the game and didn't snitch when he got jammed up. Served his time and was productive while on the inside. He DOES need his own movie. 💯
He had proffer sessions
He was queen for the day, aka ratted
@@rickslick. word he admitted to having proffer sessions. Like come on if you know anything about the Feds you know that's no good
solid man
He needs to reside in a SUPERMAX.
This was Vlad's easiest interview, he barely has to say a word. I love how Larry changed his life for the better. Would love to have a beer and listen to a few more of his story's.
Then check out Larry’s channel, if you haven’t already, he pretty much tells his whole life story in serial episodes, and reviews jail movies and talks about other prison related issues.
I noticed that as well. Larry carried the freight all the way without much interuption.
Thank God. Sometimes Vlad ask the dumbest questions. Asking a guy named Lawton if he was on track to becoming a made guy. WTF!
Love Larry Lawton. Watched damn near every one of his videos on his channel before I saw this interview. He’s an incredible story teller..He blows Vlad out of the water on his own channel.
Damn I just discovered him
Vlad was so quiet
Vlad is always shit. He just has interesting guests on.
I bet Larry does get goos bumps thinkig about getting pissed on huh punk
@@moneykid4477 He let him speak. Larry's a talker. Most of Vlad's guest aren't great storytellers.
I've seen a lot of these interviews, Larry is by far one of my favorites
Larry: Don't get me on a roll!
Vlad: Hasn't talked in ten minutes and says nothing.
Larry: You're gonna get me on a roll!
Lmfaoooo
😂😂😂😂
Man in the bible is like men today. Full of sin and broken like you
Classic!
😭😭😭😭
Larry left out the most important part of why he destroyed that unit manager's office in prison.
They locked up someone in solitary for something Larry did, and the guy wouldn't snitch on Larry. So Larry went to the unit manager, admitted to what did, but the woman wouldn't do anything about it unless that other guy decided to snitch on Larry himself. So he lost it. She was also known for being abusive and overall rude to people, If I'm correct she got fired later for having sex with an inmate in her office.
Larry is a true stand up guy ! I highly recommend his channel where he tells all of his story in great detail.
Wasn’t that his brother..?
@@Rebelwill74 no his brother was in the same prison at the time it was a cellmate regarding pasta stolen from the cafeteria
its was over pasta that larry had in the cell when he was already in the shu..guards shook down the cell..his celly wouldnt say nothin so they threw him in the shu too larry admiited it was his and they didnt care and he lost it..he told this story in a video i watched yesterday..he was in a medium security prison at the time..and he had that incident and went bk to Max
Yea dude I'm addicted to his channel
Yeah
Something about hearing stories from old gangstas is addicting
I know right?
Facts
@@denisekristen7620 i could be done ✔️ the day of a week before before before he could
@@denisekristen7620 wwwt
You are so right! I started watching these videos and I am hooked! I always look forward to watching the next one.
I fucking love Larry Lawton's TH-cam channel. I had no clue that you interviewed him.
Same bro!! More Larry Lawton content for me to watch is always a welcome sight.
I remember finding his channel randomly back when he was first starting out at around 10k subs. Never did I think his channel would explode like that!
Hes awesome!
Stand up guy
@@giannirusso8406 like gianni russo
Larry is an extremely intelligent person. It's almost like he became a criminal out of boredom.
You don’t have 20 successful robberies being a dumbass haha
This dude talks too much to believe anything he says...like bruh, take a breath.... hes worse then a teenage girl
Bingo
@@PenitentiaryTalk are you stupid or something? All it takes is a quick google search and you’ll see everything he’s saying is true
@@heypeter4052 same with gianni russo lol
This dude can talk, yo! But to my surprise, I am not bored
Vlad “so after you got molested” chill bro stop bringing that shit up
Deadass
What
Why keep that a secret? Fuck that
@@ztwntyn8 he brought it up like 3x thought once was prob more than enough
@@nerfroop8307 Good. I wasn't the only one who noticed that
This was probably the easiest interview Vlad has done. This guy can talk
Vlad only said like 10 words. Amazing video
Sometimes it's best to do that!
That’s a record
Thought the same thing
agreed if yall want another good interview where glad keeps his mouth shut look up frank culota interview
Insta classic just for that reason
The easiest interview ever for Vlad...barely had to ask a question. Vlad did it right as usual, succeeded where so many other interviewers fail. Vlad just let him talk without interrupting the flow of what he was saying. Thank you Vlad.
Whenever you have a charismatic interviewee, it's best/very easy to allow them to speak in narrative. The majority of Vlad's interviewees require Q&A, for which Vlad always catches flack for his questions.
soft white underbelly does this a lot as well
I'll neva forget when Vlad dropped the full interview.
I will. I saw it days ago with the subscription
This is literally the BEST interview 😂 part 2 with this guy please lol
He’s a Biden liberal 👍
@@jennetteseymour4985 Who cares?
@@jennetteseymour4985 wrong "lib" - he's a libertarian that isn't keen on either two main parties.
@@stevenmccallum4268 both parties are controlled by a foreign entity that is hostile to America
@@stevenmccallum4268 and look for the video : both parties obey
We need a Joey Diaz Larry Lawton podcast. It would never end😂😂
Your onto something
Oh crap - that would be insane!!!
Larry is so good at telling his life stories you can never get enough of it, you can hear the passion he has behind every story and character he brings up, even though it was wrong he owns up to the character he once was 100% thats what you call a man.
Anyone who doesn't know Larry Lawton, needs to go listen to "gangster redemption" on youtube rn
Robbed my first jewelry store today thank u for help.
Larry out here lookin like stone cold and Walter white. 😂😂 the more badass version
Hah!
20× more badass. Larry stabbed someonr lol
😂😂😂😂
I love Larry’s TH-cam Channel. When interviewing Larry you have to keep him on track or he’ll just go and go from one subject to another.
How am I just now seeing this. I love Lawton’s videos as well as Vlads interviews.
Larry cant get out of video creating mode he naturally looks at the camera while telling a story lol
I like how he accepts his trauma and still has a high love for life💯
Amazing will. Life is beautiful, def.
His spirit seems very difficult to break
I’m getting jeweler ads on this podcast lmao
This is the first interview that I have seen that Vlad did not have to ask any question🤣
The utmost respect for this guy, I hope he continues to better himself and every person he comes in contact with 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Aint Larry right though when he tells Vlad, you gotta be pretty sad to abuse a vulnerable person.
@@orestes1984 He’s the realest dude 💯
A real interview with Carl from Aqua teen hunger force.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 seriously!!
Now thats some funny shit
lmfaooooooo yeeeooo 😭
Well played
“ you wanna know how I got here vlad, keeping it real “ Idk why but I just wasn’t expecting him to say that lol
He's a total wannabe
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 Wannabe what?
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 Mayne shut yo mouth show sum respect or jus keep it to yourself respectfully. Go check out his channel and see what “wannabe” he is he’s actually doing sum right in his life for many.
@@duggg4884 Well said, I can't believe the disrespect of some of the clowns online. This punk talking down about a man who has lived a real gangster life, didn't snitch, and now helping kids not go down the wrong path. That's a true man who deserves respect not like @Karrki Markkinat who has nothing better to do than disrespect a man while hiding behind a keyboard. Larry's channel is great and he has a good heart. He talks about taking care of his mom, his love for animals(he mentioned his 2 cats on at least 1 video), helping kids, and when he was a gangster he didn't rat. That's what a man is supposed to do and he deserves our respect.
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 wtf you reading a 90s gang awareness pamphlet over there? tf wannabe🤦♂️
This is by far the greatest vlad interview ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉
First Chris Hansen and now Larry Lawton. Today is my lucky day!
facts right.
Thanks,didn’t know Chris did an interview
I enjoyed the heck out of this guy my little nephew has to watch this guy cause my nephew is having problems .God bless this guy Larry
Please do another interview with this guy. What a storyteller.
Really enjoyed listening to this guy. Amazing life, good and the bad, very animated, great story teller and a guy you could sit and listen to for hours.
Dude looks like he gives out loans at 300% interest. Dude the TK Kirkland of mob stories.
😂🤣more like 3,000%
Yeah he's a trailer trash debt collector for meth heads... I don't know why Vlad is giving him the time of day
LMFAOOOOO
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 this dude has prolly stole ur whole net worth times 1000
@@karkkimarkkinat2109 and your a nobody you tube commenter what’s your point
this interview needed to be longer, better bring him back
This guy is definitely a OG. Great story telling.
Man I love this guy. He's so animated, makes it a lot easier for my adhd brain to follow along lol
Larry: So yeah, my neighborhood was pretty rough.....etc
Vlad: so you got molested
Larry: so yeah that was a rough time in my life.... I remember my first robbery... etc
Vlad: so let’s talk about your molestation
😩😩😩
I was gonna write the same thing lol. Vlad loves a good molestation story.
🤣🤣
Man vlad really be bringing up shit outta no where
Ikr ? That shit got me mad asf.
🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
Love to see someone turn their life around and use their experiences to help others. Kudos
Yeah right. Imagine price for that happening. 20 years of ruined lifes , hundereds mothafa, thousands maybe. Stop being sheep.
Kudos please don’t ever say that again bud lol
When he said “I like my fucking pot “ I felt that
That Sheriff is a known asshat
Florida man keeping the stereotype alive. Pasco or Polk Co,I forget which one
Vlad. I know you won’t see this but your content is my absolute, 100% fucking favorite to watch. You get interviews to have twists and turn like Law and Order SVU. You are killing the game brother. Thank you 🙏🏻
Mans well spoken, had lots of reading time.
Absolutely, was thinking the same, very articulate
He's an old-fashioned kind of guy, very allegorical
Probably one of the reasons he was able to walk into a high end jewelry store and disguise himself I think they woulda been suspicious if he walked in there talking all street lol
@@tonysalamone5458 faxs!
„I donnt give a fuck who you fuck” 🤣
Larry Lawton is a you tube phenom. He has this crazy energy that is captivating.
GOAT interview
Based on looks alone, I was NOT expecting Larry to be as articulate and well-spoken.. 😂 Super smart dude
Larry is a awesome..I seen all his videos.. everything he lived through to where he is at now is a real inspiration to anyone..from braking arms and robbing to helping kids and adults turn their lives around..he is living proof that people can change and turn their life around I am greatful he is out now doing what he does for the community keep it up Larry.
Mr. Lawton is proof positive that people can and do change.
I salute you sir.
I've listen to the stories and watch talking many people like Larry but this guy is truly a real one. He must have been a bad ass MTF not because he was certainly capable of hurting anybody but most of all because he is intelligent and smart. He could have succeed in anything, anything he wanted in life. RESPECT Mister Lawton!!
who has the better memory, an elephant or Larry "I´ll never forget" Lawton
Thank you vlad for not interrupting your interviewee. This is how you interview someone
Shit the guy who told him he need to get his own movie is freaking right
Larry Lawton has one of the best stories of those guys
I think this is one of the best interviews I’ve watched from “ glads”channel ! guy’s storytelling abilities are top notch.
I thought he was Larry the lobster human form at first 🤦🏾♂️
What a stupid comment
@@markminiard9472 But you felt that tho.. hahaha
@Matthew Masters lmao
The red shirt does not help either.
@@jahimuddin2306 lmao oh shxt
Just started watching Larry a couple weeks ago. I got a lot of respect for him. He’s solid
Please put that movie out the streets need it and this is by far one of my favorite interviews
Larry Lawton is the real deal. I watch his TH-cam channel all the time. Its probably one of the best channels on here for sure.
I Fw Larry heavy he always got a story tells it so good he allowed us to not have to hear vlad all video my guy Larry asking him self questions before vlad could even think about it🤣
this needa more views wtf😭😭 larry needs to promote this
he talks way cleaner on his own page🤣
Lol he knows the type of audience we are fuck that clean talking shit 😂😂😂
Yeah. I'm subscribed to his channel. He shows little flashes of this side on it, but nothing like this. He's letting it all hang out with Vlad
Because its not his channel lol
I feel like vlad slipped him some truth serum in a red bull 😅
Mbv kobo
Best story teller on TH-cam fashooo 💯
This gotta be Vlads easiest interview of his career 😂
Cuz Larry never shuts the fuck up lol
He kept his mouth shut in front of the DA and Judge, that's all that matters
@@anthonyschiozzi1095 exactly. Dude has always kept it 100% and has been a stand up guy. Hung around with mobsters in prison, etc. dudes the real deal
I watched this video thinking that was Stone Cold Steve Austin
Larry is a good guy, and he has the high on weed face when he laughs, I'm glad to see he is so happy in life
He beat people up for fun back in the day.
Can’t believe I’m just seeing this. Been watching Larry’s channel for a while. Used to watch some Vlad videos back in the day but haven’t in quite a while. When I saw this I had to watch tho. Larry can talk for days and I’m glad to listen lol
17:35 "after the priest incident, you kinda hardened up" wow that had to be pun intended
Finally REAL IS BACK salute my OG was just on your channel listening to you drop gems
Amazing interview frfr
Person being interviewed says something.
Vlad: Okay....
Larry is talking about Polk County Sheriff (Florida) Grady Judd when he said the Sheriff in his area never wants marijuana legalized. I know this because I live in Tampa and Grady Judd does at least a half dozen press conferences every month for minor things like shoplifting. His press conferences are all over TH-cam.
Damn.....and I thought I was the only one slick enough to just stop at church and pick up a bulletin to show my parents.
I have been on Sammy’s bandwagon up until now this man is right I was getting brainwashed by Sammy always blaming Jon but you forget he ratted on 100 other guys as well did he have a reason for all of them as well
Same man. The more I listen to other people the more I realize sammy is really a nasty person and still is.
Sammy was perfectly fine killing and whatever he did making illegal money but the minute he was facing jail time he gave up everyone real quick. Everyone has an excuse why they cooperate or give people up.
@@jc35957 I mean, he’s a sociopath. What do you expect.
I cant believe they would let him out after admitting to 19 murders, thats insane
@@Prof_Tickles92 exactly 💯
who else came here from sammy the bulls channel and had the volume on 80 because he whispers and then came here and vlads intro hit and it scared tf outta you and lowered down to 10
I fuckin love this guy! GREAT interview and talk about keepin it real, this dude is just flat out bad ass and I agree with EVERY value and thing he said. Religion, drugs, politics, all of it... SPOT ON!! He's absolutely BRILLIANT...
Agreed 💯
Finally someone who talks more then vlad does through the interview
Larry drops allot of jewels on this one, no pun intended.
Stop telling ppl to get their shine box
@@jjjrjjjr1 They called him spit shine Jerome
Shqipe🇦🇱
“There’s no such John Rodriguez” no kidding Larry 🤣🤣🤣
Larry, that hour and a half went by faster than I could have imagined! Love listening to your stories! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
I love Larry Lawton! "A little lesson on robbing s jewelry store." 😂
I love this guy, he gave a great interview
In his heart of hearts... this guy just loves it. He can't help it. He changed perhaps, but that twinkle gives it away. It's love. It's a calling.
This was serious I loved this interview with out Vlad interruptions talking about his self
Recently discovered VladTV. I'm addicted.
When you're serving time in a County Jail or a state or federal prison they treat you like you're less than human .
Seriously to get an aspirin you have to put a request in and hope it comes a week later and they approve it.
Even when your seriously having a health issue and ask for a nurse the gaurds will basicly tell you how you are feeling or say your faking it.
I love how he answers Vlad's questions but immediately goes into an "old head" ramble right after 🤣 Cool ass uncle vibes!
This is a fantastic interview have him back and let him just tell stories
No . Go subscribe and watch his videos dammit
Larry Lawton is that dude! If u haven't, I strongly recommend watching his channel GREAT guy and GREAT stories!!!
I'm trying to picture Larry squeezing through a vent to rob a jewelry store. It's taking my imagination all its got.
He was a lot fitter back then more muscular?
Your kinda forgetting his older now
They where armed robberies he went through the door.
I love when he says, now that’s a whole nother story.. lol 😆
Same thing happen to me when I caught my case. “I take responsibility for my actions” it’s literally a nice way of saying fuck off I’m not a rat 😂
@Miles Maillet same with my older brother but I was 13 😂
LL is a man's man. Legit! He not only earned, he demands the utmost respect.
Larry is a good dude! Not morally but he knows he’s done wrong and lives up too that! He’s a man’s man! Keep doing you Larry! Congrats on your success!
Great stories very addictive and very easy listening. Brilliant.
This interview was gold. And Vlad basically didn’t speak. There was no need.
I could listen to this fella talk all day long!!
Vlad needs to get better at follow up questions and carry on the interview from where the guest left off, instead of going back to the question he originaly wrote down when the guest already answered that question he is about ask
Exactly Vlad had that problem sometimes
Wow, I was wondering when Larry would come on here. Listened to all stories. Solid dude .
Definitely is proud of it though. He loves getting specific on just how tough he was. Lol
Fuck yea
