    My brother took going to jail really badly. He refused all offers of food and drink, spat and swore at anyone who came near him, and smeared the walls with his own feces. After that, we never played Monopoly with him again.

      Hell yeah, Herc, Badger and this dude on a Rogan podcast would be entertaining as hell. Joe knows how to get the conversation going and what questions to ask you never would've thought of. Even Joes guest question their selves on the podcast. Only shit I can actually listen to for that long. The only podcast that's actually intriguing enough for that long. I know Joe probably knows quite a few guys who went to prison and probably MMA guys wrapped up in the system too and maybe bring enough attention to it to keep some out of the life. Not bad attention or unwanted attention but the type that doesn't tell too much about politics but enough to get an idea of how fucked up it can be.

    I just wanted to say that I'm very impressed with your interview and of Wes's responses to your questions.
    I know he was not concocting any type of an answer he was simply relating the facts of how it works in prison and in doing that he brought me to a realization that prison has actually evolved into exactly the type of system that prisoners need... in order to go to the next level of understanding.
    The enforcement of rules by the inmates themselves is so harsh and so direct that these men have to learn to become disciplined they have to learn to hold their tongue.. they have to learn to use their minds to analyze a situation and arrive at a logical answer and the discipline to deal with their own emotions in a non destructive manner.
    Wes has obviously profited well from his trials while in prison.... It is evident to me that it is just the beginning of his Ascension in becoming a better human being.
    Most of us have much we can learn from his own experience and I'm glad that he has chosen to share those experiences with us and that he is able to articulate the facts in a direct and detailed manner.
    And also a big thank you to Herc for knowing how to conduct an interview in an effective and interesting manner. You ask the right questions and you give your guests ample time to elaborate on their answers.

Me. Its in the mind. I can relate to saying that it would almost make u look down and despise those guys who get all excited wen they see a hit. I can relate to that. But for me concentrating on tryi g to understand how badly prison can damage your mind and then address's g. This first, has been the only way I've cleaned my act up and could begin to make moves to do so. There is a way to move forward for anyone doubting it.
    Peace ✌️🙏

    There is a movie named "Shot Caller". I don't know how accurate this movie is but it's a great movie and I usually don't like prison movies because of the violence. It's about a mind mannered white collar man who is unfairly sent to prison for murder and his fight for survival. I won't spoil it by telling too much. It's worth watching. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    i appreciate how Herc realises how crazy this cat he's talking to sometimes sounds to us the audience and tempers some of his comments with an explanation

    You can tell that he is legit. I hope the young ppl that watch this listen and make better choices. Prison life is not fun & you can never get the time back that you lost. this guy is real and very entertaining

    Wes would make a good personal trainer. He would easily scare me to keep doing another rep

    People will never understand at how desensitized to life you can be. Life is hard and unfair a lot of times but you got to take the hood with the bad. Respect
