How driving on a suspended license turned to 20 yrs in Prison - Badger - Fresh Out Interviews
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Born in the summer of 67' in the San Fernando Valley, I grew up in South Central Los Angeles on Highland and Eight Avenue. I Didn't get into too much trouble until I hit the County Jail for driving on a Suspended License. Growing up in Los Angeles, I had no clue about racism. It wasn't until I hit Men's Central Jail, that life got real and turned me into the beast that I became. At the end of it I would like to say, "the world is full of good people, if you can't find one, become one." -Bruce Lee/OVG

I love how big herc gives all his guests his full, undivided attention. Respect
It's refreshing af
Wtf else is he supposed to do he’s interviewing him?
@@JFryed420 ... Many people who conduct interviews consistently interupt their guests. The OP was giving Big Herc props for not doing that. Capeesh?
Yeah I like it how Badger says "you know how we do it " and big Hercs like what the fucks this guy talking about?
Hilarious!!!!!
Brad Fuller thought so myself completely he was as engrossed as me by the story absolutely!
One of the many thing's I've learned from this channel is how many corrections officers actually belong in prison themselves.
And how utterly fucked and rigged the system is against everyone. Its built to keep you there no matter the charge.
Word
Bryan Carter They're already there half their day. It's close.
Think about the type of person who actually WANTS to become a prison guard, someone who ENJOYS keeping other human beings locked in cages smaller than the cages we lock zoo animals in! If you consider that their sadistic and violent behavior isn’t very surprising. And to quote Wes Watson “Absolute power corrupts absolutely!”
Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely- Wes Watson. You really should check out The Stanford Prison Experiments. There’s a movie with the same name about it too.
Herc: How was yo child hood growing up??
Badger: Oh it was good, my mom hated me, and my step dad did too..
Tf!!!
+I’m crying in a corner While i count my money so can black people ... chinese people hispanic wake up man
The way I understood it was he didn't have the greatest childhood but he didn't have it particularly bad at home either. He probably wasn't around his parents much. There's a lot of people who grow up like that for multiple reasons

Right on, bro. Stay up
Congratulations on turning that around 🤙🏼
Salem?
Which prison brother
Did you know a dude named Timothy Delaney?
Im 45 now when I was 22 I remember hearing war stories about Skinhead Badger from SFV this dude was and still is the absolute real deal. For him to still be alive and free speaks volumes. Stay strong. Great channel.
Ernie Hill /Badger , met him a week after he came home. NA mtg. Last guy that shared talked about being attracted to young boys. I looked at Badger , he looked at me. Went out to the parking and we did what we do. Following week same mtg the secretary nominated Ernie as the treasurer for the meeting. Badger accepted the commitment. And has never gone back to the Pen. He's a Grandfather, solid as they come.

He was banging like that huh
This is easily one of my favorite TH-cam channels. I've never been so proud to be a square.
Same lol
As a dude who never saw that part of life, its so important to hear these stories and understand more people and where they come from. Its amazing...blessed is the word!
"we're doing decades and you guys wanna watch ‘Cops’?!?!?!'"
Exceptional Pleb gots to see if any of the homies are on it
I know I was doing 3 months in Greenville County South Carolina I don't know what it is about motherfukers in jail but there's always those dumb fucks that want to turn on fuckin cops!!
i'm 31 years old and did not give shit (so i thought) so much that i was driving on a suspended license for two years and after listening to Badgers story i went and payed it the next day or so.
It's works Scared straight?😬😬
Lol
"or so" 😂
Big Herc is a great interviewer. Great comments, great questions, insight, listens and lets the person speak.
@San Jose Sharks VGK
I dont agree
Yeah right? He is one of his kind. How many interviewers do you know that actually let his guest talk all they want?
For real! I wish all the professional interviewers and podcast hosters were like him!
It’s true, he understands that all of his guest have a story to tell.
Im sure its easy to hate on badger if you are or arent white, but the man did what he had to do to survive. A lot of people dont make it out, whites in prison are extremely very extremely serious about putting on for their race. You can tell hes still instutionalized by his demeanor, he definitely doesnt mean to come across as offensive but hes conditioned to show no weakness. Its amazing to see Big Herc and Badger break dowm barriers and stereotypes, powerful stuff.
N/A N/A yeah I want to here more about that
You are exactly right it’s about survival racist or not he made it out alive and like he said the viciousness was out of fear. A lot of respect for Badger
Jesse Godin yea but he’s still talking crazy maybe he’s just trying to prove his whiteness cause he looks Mexican
@@josephpa05 maybe go to a N/A meeting then man
@@MESSI-fx1ob im pretty sure badger doesnt have to "prove his whiteness" to anyone.. what a dumbass comment
Could you imagine dating a chick meeting her dad and it’s Badger?
Been there. Dude liked me but I was on rails at all times. He was a psychopath. 😨
Well, just don't act like a scared punk, show respect, and you will likely get respect back. Guys like Badger seem to operate on respect.
caligroovin1982 can you imagine dating badger and introducing him to your dad?
bdizzle shark 🤣🤣
I would be comfortable. If youre a stand up dude a guy like that would be a good ass father in law. If youre a dishonorable coward...not so much
It's always nice to hear when people turn there lives around. Good job Badger!
Larry Hernandez their
Tony Taite what are you the grammar police? Jesus Christ man!
Lmao when he acted like he was deaf I’m dead haha
That was a funny ass story
Lmaoooo
He's in Malibu, on the ocean. That's a blessing.
Came back to watch this to see what life was like when OG badger was thriving
real talk right here young people stay away from jail period.
Love to stay away from jail. But what if the DA built a case against me? And stoolies to take the stand?
Once the system has you, your pretty much fucked man
@@erichhartmann9797 make em fuckin work. govt keeps gettin bigger and bigger and its no coincidence that more ppl are locked up in america than anywhere else.
This has to be one of my favorite interviews out of all Prison content channels. Badger has one hell of a story
5 years ago when Og badge hit da scene I hope he pops back out
You can tell he’s still traumatized, and greatly affected.. his tone of voice, and his body language.
Above Beyond ...the drugs had a huge impact on him too, I guess.
Above Beyond
You and me are everywhere on TH-cam battle rap holy shit bruh
@@beavishighonvoltcola5287 you into battle rap too? Who's your favorite and who's in your top 5 right now?
Yeah, that’s prolly more of being a socal bro, mix the culture with the drug abuse then add 20yrs in the pen and you got a hard core Cali bro....bro.
Yeah, first dude Herc has interviewed that shows serious signs of having seen and done too much shit!
Great interviewer. Let the guest talk. Phenomenal concept.
Soo just an interviewer lol
Yea. Go figure! 😂🤣😭
Right! Lol
Yep, it’s rare in today’s Interviewer. Go look at talk shows from the 70s and 80s, totally different pacing and everyone can be heard.
Badgers 100% transparent and 100% real. WoW, great interview and great guest Herc. 👍🏼
I'm not sure how I stumbled across this but I've already watched two full videos. I appreciate this kind of real educational content. May everyone learn life lessons from your experiences. Much respect and god bless.
20 years.. that is crazy man. I'm 26 and that is like being in prison my whole life and only being out 6 years
U did that all by yourself
The breakdown we didn’t need
We got a maths guy over here
That’s crazy but did anyone ask?
@@BEY.961 hahahaha
Man, thats definitely one of the top 3 interviews ive ever heard in my life
yeah
“I didn’t have it real bad” & “My mum hated me”. No dude, you did have it real bad.
Mustafa Aydin
Right, people are taught to belief they have it good or not that bad, when in reality, They have it Horrible.
He never says black guys, he says "your guys." Racism became a survival mechanism for him, he doesn't hate other races, he just sees them as separate.
Jim Bob from Burnley is that you? Sounds like you with that ignorance X
Jim Bob OG Badger was saved by BROTHERS at least twice in his story.
+Jim Bob
Everyone except white are racist???
You can't be fucking serious!!!
It's a tribal thing in and out here
Doesn't he say "your people" when he's referring to crips? I didn't think it was a racist thing, I thought it was an affiliation thing he was speaking of.
TWO OF THE OG ORIGINALS OF THE GENRE LNR TO THESE GUYS
The story's are very educational, but when Hager stops mid sentence to point out the beauty of someone surfing shows me how thankful he is to be out and able to enjoy the little things we take for granted. Thank yall for sharing
Bring back badger
He seems like a solid ass dude
Hes back.
Alabama Fan
He reminds of "Dog The Bounty Hunter" Just his body language, his facial features, his personality..
A solid ass dude who would have fucking MURDERED yo for nearly nothing. Lot's of folks go to prison in california. lots of white boys.. that don't become savage murdering monsters. You can be down for the cause during riots and stuff.. yet still be mellow and not a trouble maker.. he CHOSE to join the worst of the worst. Only a small number of woods decide to ba hard Skins.
@@sweetazzpiew8490fuck that douche bounty hunter
“I don’t recommend it, I don’t recommend it”
Nuff said!
Respect,
Badger is dope do another video with him he goes straight to the point no sugar coating you need more interviews with him & more real people like him 🙌🙌🙌
Wats yo snap
Sexy baby
Ashley Cabrera 101 lemme give u this Work
Tough life and prison experience, right from the source. Highly valuable. Thanks guys.
This channel popped on my feed, I’ve been watching all the material. Badger has been my favorite part every time.
listen to his voice crack when telling his story about having no shoes and the help he got 5:03 it shows how much big herc is grateful for what he has and for those who gave a shit about him. It's cold out there man.
Hands down one of the best interviews to date!
*Racism?*
*I'm black.*
*Got pulled over because I had expired tags, license was expired and no insurance.*
*White cop pulled me over and he let me know he could take me to jail if he wanted to.*
*I just agreed and said yes, sir.*
*But then he said if I can get a family member on the phone with a lgit license, they could drive the car home and recommended I get all my shit squared away before my court date.*
*And yes I did, had to take the driving test over, get my insurance which let me get my tags before my court date.*
*In court, shitting bricks and then the white judge called my name.*
*He asked me if I took care of my paperwork and I said yes.*
*He banged the gavel and said case dismissed and I was standing there like ? because I never been in a courtroom and he motioned to the door and said you are free to to go.*
*He didn't even check my paperwork and just took my word for it and let me go.*
*My experience doesn't mean racism doesn't exist but some niggas stub they toe and call the piece of furniture racist.*
*Plus dumb niggas are famous for doing dumb shit.*
*A nigga will have drugs in the car and be speeding on a suspended license.*
*A nigga will have guns in the car, get into a minor fender bender and want to fight the person that tapped them and then when the cops arrive they be like , oh shit maybe I should have let this go.*
😂😂😂😂
TiVo2Go
true that
TiVo2Go theres no white on white violence if your blind and dumb you can still be smart enough to recognize that racism exists. Just like god exists but a lot of people dont believe in him. So does racism
Sal Sanchez we have seen racism and we can define it. We have not seen god, so you are wrong.
Hey.. I'm white and got 30 days for driving on suspended.. dead serious. And it was my FIRST one.. not a mandatory habitual offender.
This is a heartbreaking tragic story. It's a miracle this guy has survived to tell his fascinating yet terrifying life story. You can see the damage prison has wrecked on this guy's mind and soul. If this story isn't enough to make people think twice about commiting crime then I don't know what is. Total respect for how he's changed his life and made it out the other end to scare is story and hopefully help people going down the same path he went before it's too late. Amazing work Big Herc and team, this is a brilliant interview.
Rewatching this after a year and half.
Wow, Badger was powerful!
Badger should have his own channel.
He telling the real Jank..💯
I only found this channel yesterday and have been binge watching since.This is the most real channel I've had the pleasure of discovering.I think what you're doing will help many,many people.God bless.
OG Badger is a real dude. Stay safe and keep striving for greatness.
Man this is amazing, really makes you think twice about how bad you think you have it when listening to people who have literally been through hell and made it out the other side. Big Herc is doing God's work out here.
Big fella is so good at interviewing, just listening and input just when needed. Brilliant.
Nice editing with the slang defintions
Isecond this, about the editing.
Icey Mike 😂😂😂
Mike Oxenfire same
what does it mean to "bust some cheeks"
The lingo is important , an I speak English quite well , define the slang plz plz plz ! And bravo , mo !
Best of luck to both of you Herc and OG Badger. You have been through a lot, hope you will have good lives from now on.
One of the best Fresh Outs to date. Great interview. Glad he is finding some peace and positivity in his life.
"ya know what I mean? ya no mean? You know?" Badger< he's great to listen to. He has kept me captive this whole time. Great interview. Heavy story he has to tell. Thumbs up.
What's up Big Herc! Much respect. You need a show on National T.v. More of our young Black youths need to hear what's reality and what's not.
Herc: man its a breath of fresh air man always
Badger: let me fix that (sparks Marlboro red) lmao
With the filter ripped off
" i don't know what happened to my celly, he was no longer telling...." LOL
one of the best interviews on fresh out, very honest, Badger should be doing more Q&A videos
Big Herc appreciate ALL the content and stories it's a HUGE eye opener to the people who dont understand about these types of things that go on thanks....thanks badger for your stories! 💯
As one skin to another, one convict to another, 11 years under my belt in wa state.. I hope your still free brother. I know what you went thru, I lived the same. Got out in 06 and I haven’t been back. As to the channel (and OVG.. respect.., keep it on. Good to see this content. We need our story out there.
Herc knows how to get along with all different races of people, a very open minded individual
You say that like it's a hard thing to do. I'm just saying dude if you find it impressive that someone can communicate with someone else of a different race than something is wrong with you.
He seems like a good dude
It's weird, North of SoCal people network and operate together on the Coast. I got fam and partners of all races and in between, and from gangs that don't play well. I fucked around in CA for sure and I am a lucky motherfucker, I wasn't the people I rolled with that I saw getting prepared by some new friends who were drilling them with that crash course on the ride they were about to jump on in CDC. Cali pigs are foul as shit, and everything is illegal. I got to experience those bullshit courts and corruption and shit was very clear that they want you to escalate, and they had a right to stop and search me on site for 3 years, and that sounded like a pretty good time to stay North of Cali for a while, and my people that came back and who I put up sometimes were just RIP one day. And back then I would have been ready to roll how I had to, and it was pretty obvious that my work out routines and shit were already being examined by people in county down there. It's boobytrapped as fuck. Up North and elsewhere it's drama, it's corrupt, it's scandalous, but that political tension is just not the same. At this point I have lived too long and been through too much bullshit to take any more orders or change radically my every earned morals and wisdom to merely survive. I am not being taken into any other dungeon alive, that's guaranteed. Too many of my real ones are gone, or RIP, I couldn't squander what little is left. I love CA, but I don't feel like I can stay that long with those laws, so it's special occasions only. I kinda feel like CA should just become twodifferent states. North and South are different worlds. Stay up e
Big Herc is fucking awesome . Notice how he didn't ask how the guy got 20 more years while in prison? That is respect. This is a fantastic interview. The hanging story is fucked up. I wish the Badger nothing but the best. I'm loving this channel. p.s. Background nature scenes--trees, ocean--are a great touch.
Hell ya badger!!! gave this a like before I gotta even watched it 🔥🔥🔥 keep up the good work herc.... love it.
Im coming up on 3 yrs clean from heroin. Spent fifteen years slammin dope, livin the grimy life, and it took getting arrested and becoming a felon to really see how things are. Working on my bachelors in psychology to become a mental health/aoda therapist, so I can try and give back. I was once told that people who make it through to the other side, owe it to try and help others. Like there isn't a choice. When I see dudes like this trying to spread that good message, it makes me have hope, and reminds me that it's never too late to try and do good. Great interview!!
Keep it up. You got this. Eye on the prize. Life is great without drugs. Enjoy it. Too much to lose. Lots of great times ahead of you, none of which require drugs. God is smiling. He's proud of you. He understood your troubles. Stay focused. Best of luck to you.
this episode is and always will be a classic in the prison youtube community.
Great interview,Badger is solid and keeps it straight forward and honest.
I see so many troubled youth going down the wrong path... Glad to see this channel and all that you do! Keep up the good work man!
I went to prison for two years in '79. Got my GED & learned a trade that has kept me employed for 40 years . Today the programs we had are gone . The state is too damn cheap , stupid or just plain mean to make an honest effort at rehab . Damn shame .
Richard V while they make money off everyone inside ... FUCK THE SYSTEM
Those programs still exist. It's the politics we deal with in there that stir us away from those better choices though.
Amen
I think it’s a cowardly move when inmates are cuffed and so they spit on the cop. So No on the wig spitter shirt wear for me.
Did anyone get raped in there ?
Good on you Badger for keeping it moving and not letting shit drag you down and thanks for the great upload Big Herc! I have to add, Badger isn't telling stories about LA County Jail and their deputies. San Bernadino County is now what LA County was in the 80s and 90s.
On 2Wheels that’s bullshit...
LA County always been the Hardest.
@Complex Blackness, you keep thinking that and hope you don't end up in SBO County... Hint, you only get 1 minute to eat your meals.. Real talk.
@Htwon Lifer, California and Texas are two different types of systems. Texas, you will get your day (death sentence), California, will lock you up in a cage and let the system kill you. Don't speak on things you know nothing about. The CDCR (old CDC) promoted the separation of races for 50 years (still does) and Dude is out now and middle aged. If he was a true bigot/racist, he wouldn't sit down with Big Herc. You being from Texas know about real racists.
It looks like prision IS a racist a system. All are more or less racist in there to survive. I guess it helps to keep enough prisoners to fill the cells and keep the economy up.
A great interview and heartbreaking as well. Badger stay healthy and happy. Big Herc thanks for this interview and stay happy and healthy. So glad you guys made it out and are living life on your terms.
Badger is a real one.
Herc.....you are the man.....I have nothing but respect for you
@shdh shdndu jealous fool
If you don't respect the man he could crush our skulls with his forearm and bicep like a Walnut.
@shdh shdndu show your face coward.
@@davidschomer9655 if we bleed our enemy bleeds too no need to fear another man. Im neutral so i dont pick sides but i be Leave you can be strong even in the dark of times what im saying is i believe you can stand ur own against any man
This is for the comment about respecting the man or he could crush or skulls...this is the last i will talk about it. assalamu alaikum
Two of the realest OGs folks! Listen up! You might learn something.
I really like seeing guys of opposite beliefs come together... even through all the hell y'all been through show the world. we all can come together. We dont have to fall into the worlds trap of divisions of man...I truly believe it's the worlds plan to keep us divided so we dont come after the real enemy...keep up the great work u inspire many..I know big herc badger and good old death have changed my life..a real man stands by his kids not his drugs
If all the brothers n sisters of every gang and mafia came together as a huge union or family...we'd run things
We can all learn from each other
Much respect to these two men. Trying to help younger men to be positive in their lives and stay out of the house.
Best fresh out video. Respect to Big Herc and Badger
I think this is the freshest, realist episode so far, someone needs to give herc a contract and a truck
This is the only 48 min interview I've ever watched on you tube! 👍
Man I've never even been to prison. But listening to what you and badger have to say is inspirational and in some ways relate to yall... keep this prison talk stuff up I love it
These videos aren't just about prison. They're about change. I've never been to a prison with bars. But I have been to a prison in my mind, where thoughts are the bars. Hearing about people who have experienced a reality THOUSANDS of times worse than anything I've experienced is inspiring as fuck. Thanks to everyone for sharing and love to everyone watching who draws strength from other's stories about change.
Great interview 👍 could listen to badger all day !! LOVE FROM SCOTLAND LADS 👊 🏴
Badger and Big Herc, thank you for the tremendously informative and entertaining interview. Big thumbs up!
This channel always keeps me motivated. Keep it up man. People can change for the better. Never too late
Sweet, I've been waiting for the follow up with badger
re-watch this numerous times. killer episode
Matty C sammme
I love you two. Love cops and fire fighters. Vets and teachers. Fathers and mothers. All the people that when working together create the fabric of a solid community. Couldn't agree more guys!
This dude has to be the best interview ever.
Your TH-cam picture is of a white man and a black man. I love it man. Love knows no bounds
Badger's right. The service/ the military is a good option that is worth considering for a lot of young people who come from tough backgrounds and who are going down the wrong path. Other guests on the Fresh Out Series have recommended the military for At-risk youths, too, I've noticed.
Like Bagder said, it's helped save a lot of people from going to prison.
Certainly, it's not for everyone but for kids, teenagers and young adults, even, who are at a crossroads in their lives, lost, directionless and caught up in that life, the military is a viable suggestion.
I don't want to sound like a recruitment commercial and of course, it has it's inherent risks and dangers but it's really no more or no less dangerous than the street life already is.
Yeah. If you want to kill people and get away with it... become a pawn in the government/zionist agenda. You'll get to kill people of other races left and right... shit, once you kill them or take their freedom, you'll even get a medal.
Yeah except if you have even a petty misdemeanor marijuana charge, you are disqualified. Unless they've changed that recently.
They made it harder to get in military now. I dropped out of high school and got in now you can't
It's exactly what I did.
I love your channel Big Herc, gives me a huge insight into the prison world. Major respect for you, Badger, and the others men and women who made it through the system and came out on this side to make something of themselves. You're all inspiring to us. Much love to Herc and Badger
You guys are needed in this society forreal. It makes for good conversation. With good conversation laws change. A good thought is a seed for the future. Just keep cranking these out been a fan for a good minute herc keep em coming forreal.
I’ve watched so much of your material that I started thinking I did some time 😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️.
😂😂😂😂
Sameeeee I’m getting ptsd from watching this lol
Hahhaha! Your comment is so relatable, admittedly I'm quite addicted to this channel (and badger's channel).
Same!!!
Damn. They killed that kid for taking a drink from his homie's coffee. That shit is brutal. No joke.
The playing deaf story was pretty funny
Digga Dirt I was cracking up
Digga Dirt what number is that
Badger has so much heart and it's amazing. That's a RARE trait in this day an age. Much respect.
Full respect to badger being a solid brother sharing his story and coming out the otherwise a good individual .
Respect fron canada fellas !!!!! Amazing thing u guys r doing thx 4 sharing !!!
The story about the 2 kids of opposite race was damn sad...
The dude died over a hug and sip of coffee. That's insane
Im glad we got people out here like Badger telling like it is though. We need to hear this shit if we ever hope to change the system.
Yea that story was fucked up. I wonder how the black kid felt afterwards especially since he probably couldn't retaliate.
@@xDreMack dude this shit hurt my soul. Like it makes me so sad just knowing this happened
Racism ain't no joke...
This interview was so so DOPE!!! I remember being in 9500 back in the 90s almost did 5 yrs but got blessed!! Respect to all the warriors in the Pen I pray u all see the real enemies and its not eachother. Peace to Herc for this show, fam im way in Africa been here for 10yrs just to stay out of the Belly of the beast . Keep doing ur thing and how do we donate to your cause.
Love how big herc doesn't interrupt his guests and gives undivided attention 💯
8 years sober Love and Respect Badger
Got saved, sane, and sober behind bars.
Best interview thus far.
Awesome interview Big Herc. Wish we could hear more from Badger. He should write a book.
New intro looks great Herc!
yeah. the old one was also great but way too long
Yeah, great! 👍
LA RAMS#1 its not new
Both these guys are so articulate and well spoken and seem like genuinely good people who got dealt a bad hand early on.
Our justice system is broken.
Great interview, Herc. Thanks to Badger for sharing his story - I'm glad he turned that shit around.
I don't know exactly where in Florida but a buddy of mine did 2 years down there and he said there's more guards killing inmates then inmates killing other inmates.
