This is just one operation. Let that sink in for a minute. How many operations are going on right now at this point in time, how much money is involved right now? Crazy right.
100% a great interview even when on its face seemed like MAYBE you were halfway struggling to pull answers out of the guy.. super introverted, probably the reason why he didn't get caught for so long?.. and really smart and an outside-the-box thinker!! overall probably one of the better interviews for real just because I think you had to work harder than you usually do to pull things out of someone!! This interview definitely gave me some memories of some alleged activity after high School, but nothing to the level of what this man did!! This dude is a G.. got in, got out, still has the rest of his life, and nobody else went to prison or got hurt because of him! And he still has bread... ✌️😎
Johnny, your interview style is awesome. Seriously. And Eric was cool as a cucumber, while you rapid-fired 1 million questions, none of them fazed him in the least. We appreciate that you never let your guests just gloss over the interesting details. Way to probe brother!
Johnny's not up for this guy. He's just from another world & isn't nearly as intelligent. Right from the start it was painful. I felt for the guy getting interviewed.
@@JerryGarciaPOBox yeah Johnny kinda soft on the real, I like him but when Chris stops and goes “how do you know I’m not a gangster” Johnny levitated off his seat and had to throw in a “I’m not scared of you” as if it was a reflex 😂 also Johnny sounds like a cop in this interview, like there is a way to interview without being so blunt I guess. Like Matt cox interview with this guest shows how to interview someone on this guest level
Dudes definitely not a blatant gangster/ tough guy / killer, but he doesn’t remotely come off as soft or a get over , I felt like Johnny kinda played him as soft when he said your not a gangster/ I’m not scared of you. You can tell it hit a nerve
I love hearing these stories about this specifically. Within the first 3 weeks of buying my first dub, my highschool dealer handed me his business. I never made it close to what these guys did. Probably ended up a favor that I got robbed for me re-up at a down point in life.
@@mixedmartialanarchist6469talks a load of crap, it's obvious. What evidence is there to his claims I guarantee he wasn't arested for dealing. I'm not at the end yet. He could say he was but he could say anything I don't believe it I bet it was much lower amounts
Jesus. I was a mountain biker all through the mid 1990’s-2005. I distinctly remember reading about Missy and how she was either running or part of a conspiracy of weed dealers at the time. I’m from Ann Arbor Mi. Weed was kind of a thing there.
Wow. Listening to... they're more than just Interviews, they're Conversations. Absolutely Amazing Content. If we ever meet You're getting a Handshake and a big Hug, brother. You've become my Sunday Ritual. Thank You Tremendously for an 1½ of another Unforgettable Life of Experiences better than any fiction.
I was looking at a foreclosure in Queensbury 5ish years ago and the story on it was that it belonged to someone who got "busted for drugs" and that there had been gold buried on the property. I didn't buy it because I was told that the gold had already been found by the authorities 😂
Let’s hope the fuck not but most people come out of jail with nothing. I have seen people makes millions but after a couple bids they got nothing. I only did one good bid and I came out with nothing.
True all that. I'm definitely buying gold if I ever find myself in that situation. It always astonishes me these multi-millionaire wall street pricks going to prison and getting all their money taken. Were they really not smart enough to buy a million bucks worth of gold and just bury it just incase? I mean damn, a million bucks in the midwest means you never have to work again if you play your cards right, and I cannot believe that's not the very first thing these people do. They can even say they gambled it all away, or went on a "giving money to the homeless" spree to get away with it lol.
Nah, pretty sure the desperate dumbf.... did really lose everything. These people just lose their nerve and give up everything. They're not hard enough, and not smart enough. Another indication is that he even had his lawyer screw him over with extortion and false information, and didn't have the wits to switch lawyers. He's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
@@stoneehidk man it takes a lil reputation and a lot of money for your lawyer to even consider fucking you over. They gotta know your skewed and that they CAN milk you and that you HAVE something to milk you for
Life is a Graph that has been written " Go down! "Every one is facing a Downward trend in this Recession and it's a nightmare and a horrible disaster to Fall and Go Down Continuously without stopping and act as if nothing wrong. Which is what most of us are going through.
Eric's mom hated him because she hated his dad. That's why she intentionally mistreated and neglected him. She lived to party and he was an unwanted distraction. That's why she refused to allow him to participate in sports or anything that required her to do any work. She bread him through her hate. For his sake and his allow I hope he forgives her. Johnny: Why did she care about what you were doing? Because she needed to also justify to herself why she was treating him the way she was. Kind of like a post conviction after sentencing. His mother intentionally severed the connect to his father so he's resents/hates her for that. So, it makes sense that he doesn't want a connection with her.
Absolutely hit the nail right on the head. Very big BPD vibes. It's her loss because he's clearly a very sincere, hard-working and intelligent man with a lot to give. Not due to her, but in spite of her.
I'm from upstate, bought prob this guy, we called this product from Canada "Beasters." Short for BC Bud. Usually Slightly immature, always lots of red hair, little popcorn nugs.
I grew up in Albany 15 mi south of Saratoga springs. I remember when this guy got arrested it was a huge deal. The article in the times Union said he got with over a hundred tons.
He also said he doesn't want to talk about certain things .. his ma was a drunk .. he was doing time in his bedroom .. that could send u of the head !!!!
I wished you ask something like “what was the end goal?, or were there thoughts are quitting and going legit?”. He kinda said that he was getting sloppy and was near the end, but woulda been nice to have it answered throughly
54:29 the close up after he pause and looks Johnny dead in his eye sockets and says like a whip "how do you know I'm not a gangster" Johnny SHIT HIMSELF! Johnny about jumped out his chair, looking at the camera man like "if this guy gets up, call the police!" I don't think Johnny realized what level this guy was on until he was interview him. You can tell Johnny is shook, this guy is the real deal, scarier, smarter, and more successful than his "cartel" connects he always bragging about. Johnny's cartel connect were EXPENDABLE just like Johnny was. This guy isnt, he could and probably has expended people. At Johnny's absolute height, even 2x his height he would be this guy's errand boy and you can tell that bothers Johnny so bad. So use to being "that guy" on the pods I see him on, nice to see someone who was a legit kingpin put him in his place and humble him
My boy Johnny looks about 10-15 years older with his hair cut lol. He looks 28 with hair & 40-45 with the haircut & no hat in that first pre-recorded ad
Really interesting story. Good that he didn't snitch, and I like that he didn't show off, or self snitch too badly about things the feds don't know about. I have a good bs radar. And this guy seems legit. Shows how long you can get away with it when you don't show off that you are the boss.
There was a long time ago I watched video on how this guy was carrying 50 grand of pot from Canada threw the woods on foot to USA border and soon crossing the border it is worth 2 hundred 50 grand think that is right
This cat is what Johnny strived to be but the ghost 👻 has no need for attention and is light on conversation and answers questions minimally and with lies I'm pretty sure 😂
I think that Johnny had a lot of missed opportunity to ask better questions. He was too focused on who Eric was working with, how product was moved. This guy was super interesting in that he was not flashy, kept a very low profile, which seems rare in the drug game where everyone wants to be known as the kingpin. Maybe dig a little deeper into how he stayed so disciplined.
"Canadian bud" I was in Indiana and we used to get bricks in perfect cylinders because they were packed in folders coffee cans on its way from Canada. So many seeds lmao
My Grandfather always told me.. “the greatest ones are the ones you never hear about”
Facts
Dang that is so true!
Very true
I like this guy . He simplifies everything . This a business conversation not “drug dealer lifestyle “ convo .
After I saw his story on Mat cox I bought the book and it was great. Finished it in a few days. Great read for anyone who has ever been in that life
Ok I felt like I seen this interview before but it seemed different somehow. Now it makes sense
Pp😅😅
Same here, excellent read
This is just one operation. Let that sink in for a minute. How many operations are going on right now at this point in time, how much money is involved right now? Crazy right.
Wonder if Eric is annoyed at the questions because he has expected Johnny to have read the book?
Reading the book would of been the first thing I did before having him on so I would know some good questions to ask him about .
This guy was really interesting. He was tough to interview though, good work keeping it moving forward.
probably the only dude ive ever believed when he said he had 0% interest in cooperating. He did it right from the beginning
I read Eric’s book in 3 days, it’s very invigorating
Eric who and where do you find his book?
@@MarkMark-xz4ff my buddy eric. Found book in an abandoned planned parenthood. Im gay
12 pack,free weed..hit up a drive thru..baller day..love the honesty..😂
Life was better back then
Crazy I live in queensbury and remember this dude being in the post star for having gold bars buried . This is awesome interview !!!
These two are like a double act, they should definitely host a podcast together
This was def imo your best interview. Tough one too. Had me hooked from the intro
This channel never disappoints, guest are always interesting.
The set looks great..good job interviewing.. your pulling your look together..
Rich kid from Portland tells smart Polish guy from NY "He is not a gangster" lol.
There’s only one actor in the world that could play him in a movie: Michael C Hall (aka the Dexter Morgan). The accuracy/similarities are undeniable
Wow your so right!!!
Love this pod way better than last one!🔥
If I saw this guy in the dentist office lobby, it’s a 50/50 chance he’s a serial killer. His personality is 100% Dexter Morgan in real life
This was an awesome pod, this dude a G and well spoken. Bought the Patreon just to hear the rest of this pod.
Finally got Eric on! Awesome interview
Always a woman that is the downfall
100% a great interview even when on its face seemed like MAYBE you were halfway struggling to pull answers out of the guy.. super introverted, probably the reason why he didn't get caught for so long?.. and really smart and an outside-the-box thinker!! overall probably one of the better interviews for real just because I think you had to work harder than you usually do to pull things out of someone!!

He’s a dork.
Klkomkkk
Or gold!
Yea. He kept his shit so tight he can't stop. Or he's still in the game. Who knows. Dude like that will never tell something that isn't already known.
Love this guy, he’s a difficult guy to talk to but Jonny did as good a job as you can.
Johnny is a bit of a douche at time though.
Amazing podcast. This dude is so well put together and professional
Dang what a wild ride and well done on this interview on both sides
This is a guy that is so interesting in personality and delivery that literally no actor could do him justice.
not even Andy Cooper? just saying😁
This was an awesome interview!
That was awesome, the cash, escorts and gold bars he has to be back to tell more stories at some point.
Johnny, your interview style is awesome. Seriously. And Eric was cool as a cucumber, while you rapid-fired 1 million questions, none of them fazed him in the least. We appreciate that you never let your guests just gloss over the interesting details. Way to probe brother!

Great interview Johnny bro your getting a lot better with interrupting problem
One of the best interviews yet. And most believable.
You’ve gotten really good at this Johnny…that was an impressive journalistic display of disarming a hesitant Guest.
Shout out too how solid an stand up this true man of a gangster, he really is.!! 🎉 I commend you’re loyalty.! 💯 Stand strong 💪 💯 💯
Props to Johnny got a good interview out of a difficult guy to talk to
@@mixedmartialanarchist6469 Yeah, but also a pretty cagey guy.
I agree great interview Johnny 🔥
@@banquo3873exactly 👏
I completely disagree with "difficult to talk to". He's very detailed
@@mixedmartialanarchist6469talks a load of crap, it's obvious. What evidence is there to his claims I guarantee he wasn't arested for dealing. I'm not at the end yet. He could say he was but he could say anything I don't believe it I bet it was much lower amounts
Love the show..waiting on that sinister monopoly episode
Fav interview yet

18:47 this guy had me laughing "i cant take ppl seriously when theyre smoking a cigarette what the f are u puffing on" 🤣🤣
excellent interview
Congrats on the hair transplant dude. Props for doing this pod not long after, I'm sure you probably weren't feeling 100%.
I miss those days when u could offer a nice price selling pounds for $4800-5600.....

yeah, but hed never admit that lol

This was the best guy to interview. He was detailed enough and great story teller. I bought his book I can't wait to read it

These intros are A class.
That sensitivity of the step dad bled over a lil bit. Don’t smoke when you’re talking to me!?? Perfect example of imprinting our hang ups on our kids
I'm from upstate, bought prob this guy, we called this product from Canada "Beasters." Short for BC Bud. Usually Slightly immature, always lots of red hair, little popcorn nugs.
Damn good interview
Johnny is in his “how do you do fellow kids” meme era
That was the best one yet
Good interview out of a difficult guy takes skill to do that good job
100%
Brüther gets em to talk - impressive interview
This guy should fund his own movie
Dude would definitely b a successful voice-over actor!
Dude is a legend in the game
He never lets the people fully talk he always cuts them off like damn let them speak
I grew up in Albany 15 mi south of Saratoga springs. I remember when this guy got arrested it was a huge deal. The article in the times Union said he got with over a hundred tons.
No audiobook? We need something for us specials that ain’t reading them books so well. A.k.a. the long haul commuters
Bravo!
I like how he rearranged the biker group setting 💪🏿 #smartman
You could see it on johnnies face when he said his childhood was worse then prison then said it was because he got grounded a lot😭😂😂😂
He also said he doesn't want to talk about certain things .. his ma was a drunk .. he was doing time in his bedroom .. that could send u of the head !!!!

Eric is my doppelganger/brother from another mother
And he graduated on time! Nice!
Really interesting story. Good that he didn't snitch, and I like that he didn't show off, or self snitch too badly about things the feds don't know about. I have a good bs radar. And this guy seems legit. Shows how long you can get away with it when you don't show off that you are the boss.

This shit was dope! Very smart man. Had it been when they weed became legal he would have went legit

Damnnnnn that encrypted blackberry plug was probably a part of that other crew Johnny interview post this one. Same time frame and area of the NY.
Johnny, have you ever interviewed a dealer that got in, made their big $$$, and then got out CLEAN? No jail, no snitch, etc.
This cat is what Johnny strived to be but the ghost 👻 has no need for attention and is light on conversation and answers questions minimally and with lies I'm pretty sure 😂
