The real hero in all these stories is Johnny's grandmother. The stress her family put her through sounds astronomical and through it all, sounds like she loved and cared for everyone of those kids and did her best to keep them on the right path, even against all odds. I bet she was a strong woman.
My husband and I became young Glamparents suddenly. Changed me. I want her to hv the best life & we get put thru A LOT with our kids due to some mental illness. I do everything I can so my kids and glambaby hv a gd life. It's a lot and Im not looking after my own mental health but it's all about the kids. Im determined for them to have a great childhood and life in general. To not have them go thru what I did as a child I'll give up my own happiness & have in a heartbeat
Now Johnny can tell stories like no one's business! He has this storytelling capability that just takes you right along with his drift of memory lane. You know you're in for a treat when you see Johnny and his eyes close!
@Hunter Biden when he says his uncle and cousin got the blame and did prison time for his crimes you know it really happened to his uncle and cousin just passing the story as his own
he should write a book, is there anyway we can get info to Johnny or the channel that a lot of us want a book or videos, he could make money off a channel
Maaan i LOVE me some Johnny! I rather spend my whole Friday night listening to him than any other thing. He’s story telling is like no other. He makes me feel like I’m there in every situation he talks about. Thank you Johnny for sharing your life with us
Mark or somebody should definitely teach Johnny about this TH-cam thing and make his own channel I could listen to Johnny's stories and spit his knowledge all day !!
Johnny's the kinda guy you could be talking to on the phone and sit it down and go and some chores around the house come back and he'd still be talking on the phone without the knowledge that you weren't present for a good hour.
Never a dull moment when johny' s on the case, i could listen to this bloke all day long!, ... he had a right gouge on ,as he actually did this whole interveiw with both eyes shut.
this man is so inspiring every time i hear him talk i almost cry he’s been through the most and always takes the best from it you can tell he’s very wise gob bell johnny
The most entertaining stories from his man on this channel, hands down. Would love to drink a cup of coffee with him and just listen to his stories. Always puts a smile on my face. Life in past was hella different. Save this dude at all costs!
I'm halfway through and under the glasses, I can tell that Johnny's eyes are closed while he's talking. This is a master story teller - second to none. He's not just bullshitting. You can actually tell that he is re-seeing every in that moment and visualizing it in great detail.
Wow, i was just thinking after watching Johnny's playlist that id love a video about his tatts. Excellent video, i love everything about him, the way he speaks, the way he tells his life story, the realness. Thank you Mark for showcasing this legend. Much love x
I would just like to say that this channel and johhnys stories have done so much for me personally, I have been a heroin addict for 2 years and I've made my first week sober. I'll never forget Johnny's story about smelling Roses flowers, all smells of life coming back. i was crying. a real one who knows. mad love to mark and Johnny. you guys have done so much for me. this channel needs to be taught in schools!
(Amy) I hope that you are doing well and still pushing forward. Everytime I see a comment of someone saying that they are starting their journey, I always want to give a shout out and let you know that I see you. And even if you have a slip up its ok just don't give up. I'm sorry if I'm being in your business.
Omg here we go again!!! This is my favorite on this channel. Love when he starts and hates when the video stops. He's got stories for days. And almost all of em are almost the same as me. Much love Johnny from Virginia
Johnny you are who you are. You might not have had a choice to become something other than what you are today & thats a good thing. You were around the violence the drugs scene bc you really didn't have another option. What you can do is take everything you've been through and learned and be the GREATEST MENTOR & SPEAKER to save kids lives. I believe that's your calling. You escaped death too many time and to live and speak on it ...says it all. Take your blessing and spread it to those youngsters who may not know there's a better way to live and to get out of that life before its too late. Johnny your a great man. Go do the GREAT WORK.
Johnny is an amazing speaker, this is relatable but also easily understood for those not familiar with the lifestyle. Respect for telling his story these are by far my favorite interviews
Just recently subscribed to the channel, amazing interviews. Johnny is easily the best storyteller I’ve listened to on TH-cam. He has a way of fully submerging you into the story and the nervous he felt at the time. Amazing content!!
Thank you Johnny trey again for the stories they help us see into a whole different world from your perspective. It's awesome to hear how others were brought up in this world. I'm from Fl. And I feel so like sheltered when I hear your stories because I have never been around any type of gangs.
@@indegruv lol I agree with you on that. I just have only personal met one gang member in my life. At only one that told me he was apart of a gang. I think where I live it's just too small to have any real gang affiliations here.
He is there, not here telling these stories, flying within this flow under closed eyes. I love Johnny, his attitude, approach and storytelling skills, great Man.
Johnny, you look so different!! In the best way possible! You look CLEAN and SOBER 😇💯 Be proud of yourself. And always remember to take it one day at a time. Sometimes, on minute at a time. But you got this! Let those days go Johnny. Be who you want to be. Prayers up.
There is truly NOTHING glamorous about Johhnys life. In fact his is a tale of suffering, poverty, lack of options, oppression, violence, and abuse in the worst way. He says it himself, he had no choice as a youngster but to go into this life. What's remarkable about Johnny is that he's been able to retain and cultivate a sense of bouyancy about him, given his circumstance. Hes made the best of what he had. Its very poignant at the end the way he describes his lack of options and has had to compartmentalize, basically his humanity his conscience, in order to survive in his world. His stories revolve around his uncles, his elders, he really didnt have a choice as a young person, which is a tragedy. It should make anyone who has, extremely grateful. Bc if you were born into Johnnys family, you wouldnt have.
Truth.💯 He talks about his past but I wonder about the present? Seems like people truly enjoy his stories. I just wonder if he has the wherewithal to have his own TH-cam channel?
@@gwennk4962 many of you guys believe he left the life behind because he’s speaking about it although in other interviews he’s mentioned himself he’s still active just not killing and shooting at people so
Johnny looks great in his glasses! Edit: next time Johnny is on try to get some more YA, juvenile detention and prison stories , even if the topic isn’t that, GET HIM BACK ON HERE AGAIN!
@@lisafrederick8870 he is retelling things his uncle and cousin did as his own here, there is no way people misstake him for his uncle and have him doing prison for his crime. He is on heroin while he does this episodes otherwise he is in a bad mood. he living on the streets aswell so he embelish his stories to feel good. You really think he gives orders from his tent to gangmembers like a kingpin? thats what he claims
It would be a trip to meet this man. This man has been through some of the most traumatizing and crazy shit in life and he’s so down to earth. He has so much wisdom in his words weather or not it’s on the surface. I love this channel!❤️
You give a voice to the people who's stuggles would otherwise not be heard. Johnny has the best most informative stories. Topic could be dark, but he sounds genuine. He could have a fan base.
Really? A fan base?made up of whom,more ignorant ,violent ,kids living and dying for nuthin but tattoos in shit black ink? Yeah it's fun to hear on ur friggin escalade goin to the office in the morn but think about all those mother's and father's waiting in hospital lobbies to hear if their son or daughter is dead or will ever wake from the car he put them in and whether they'll have to change her diapers twice a day for life. A real fan base.You yuppies in ur plastic bubbles watching the world go by outside thinking it's for ur amusement are sick and Jonny should wake u up with a shot from that table leg.
I knew it was going to be a good morning . Settling in at the office , drinking coffee & listening to Johnny’s story 🙏✨ Im a big fan , HI JOHNNYYYYYY 🤙🏼
Well his hood is documented and what he says it's facts yiu had to earn the frogs so yeah he must've being a menace a s a kid I found out his hood.is out here I'm the i.e diidnt really know that
I have missed Johnny, I usually keep up with him but this time I didn’t. Can’t believe I missed it when it came out. He always has some good content. I can’t stop listening to it, I’m glad to know he’s self aware of his own tendencies. When he said the thing about how he didn’t get to choose I thought about myself. I didn’t get to choose where I was born or who I was born from but I have the chance to change it still. Thank you Johnny for your food for thought.
He can’t associate with his little brother but in previous episode he said he caught up with him and wanted to bring him on but I think he declined.I’m probably wrong but to see them both talk about a story would be crazy
@@daniellozada3408 no jonny probably is he has a puto mark going down hes face to let everyone know hes no good for wherever reason it may be drug debut or a list of things and skid row is were most dropouts land as they cant go back to there hoods for the simple fact he can get murdered im sure once upon a time he was whit the business
This is the best video I’ve seen on your channel got goosebumps writing this so Ik that’s a clear indication I’ve learnt from watching Jonny speak the truth about things. Learnt a few things as well love the channel especially Jonny’s videos can watch them over and over thanks for sharing Jonny. 💯💪🏽
It's because the world that you soft ass civilians come from and the world that Johhny comes from are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. That's how.
Everybody's life is different and some people's stories are already chiseled in stone and it's a way of life for generations trust me I come from a very well of family great home both my parents and I ended up going down the violent drug addiction incarceration path nobody made me do it I begged somebody to get me a roxxie I was 14 years old my parents were upstairs watching TV nobody knew I had gotten my hands on 2 Roxy 30s and I crushed one cut a straw and snorted it and that lit a fire in me that took a decade to come to an end I was off to the races I was a curious teenager and I always wanted to go big or go home I hated weed and the way it made me feel and I wanted to know why people did pills and boy did I ever find out it ended with me in a fentanly addiction and getting thrown in a jail that you wouldn't put your dogs in 4 times before I'd had enough I felt like I was earning my stripes I had resigned myself to one day going to prison like it was my destiny somehow I got sober
Johnny is the business 2 seconds in & the eyes are closed that’s the sign of a great memory of stories coming up! Johnny is a cool interesting dude & myself as an elder I appreciate all his stories & his narratives..... ✌🏻peace✌🏻🇮🇪
TOO BAD HE DIDN'T TRY AND SET A BETTER EXAMPLE FOR HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER AND GET THAT TEAR DROP REMOVED. INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO HIS 6-YEAR-OLDS ADVICE.TEACHING HER IT'S NOT COOL AND THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO LIVE
@@Lexington-Felix That's who he is, and that's all he has, is his reputation and lifestyle. He grew up in the life, his family generational is from this type of life. Actually for him to be as old as he is and to have lived the way he did, he is blessed to be alive and not imprisoned for life. He is an OG, a legend. Considering that's all his children know due to the environment and life, they are proud of their father. I think his grandfather would have been able to make the change with him. His grandfather saw the potential in him, unfortunately for whatever reason it didn't go farther. The actual support that he would have needed as a child to not be as his older cousins and uncles would have been very hard. However as now, I think he can steer his younger children, but he would have to remove himself from the environment and change his entire style. I agree he would have and perhaps can still make the changes from this type of life.
@@gailmendez5465 Good explanation how his environment or nuture effected him. Took take life or injure severely without any repercussions for thoughts and for some times just to earn a tattoo is more than just environment. I believe if he were in a different environment he might still be drawn to killing and maiming by genetics or nature.
@@jdoyle4811 I believe genetics and nature does play a major part, and would be easier to trigger. However, if he was raised in a different environment, including teaching, nurturing and family. I would give him a 50/50 chance. Truth be told, he can still do good, by the younger generations. Yet that would include for him to give up his OG status and perhaps his life. All he has is his status, reputation, style and remains in survival mode, due to his lifestyle. He may be looked down on by higher socio-economic society, but he is somebody, highly respected in his world. As one would say, "His name rings bells."
@@gailmendez5465 Gail, it is such a pleasure to read comments that are well thought out in which I can feel educated. I did learn from the streets and delivered beer driving a trailer for Anhueser Busch company with inner city young men. My later expertise was in clinical research, monitoring data at hospitals and clinics across the US and also in South America that were delivered to the FDA for approval for experimental drugs and devices. It is so disheartening on TH-cam to be corrected all to often by individuals in regards to vaccines and Covid by those who do not even have a semblance of scientific knowledge. For you and your Family the best in Holidays
I would love to see throwback pics of Johnny in his youngster days. If you read this... please bring some pics in a future update! Also, thanks for your crazy stories, keep em coming. Much love ❤️
Johnnys stories are alway so interesting and I hope one day he can become the person he truly wants to be he’s still got time to break the chains. Have a great day
I have previously really enjoyed his story telling. This time he explained he sat and watched his cousin get their asswhooped for things HE did, he let his Adult Uncle do Adult time when he committed the crime and could have done teen time, he let his 1 year older than him cousin and various other uncles get in trouble for his misdeeds. Where is the Honor in that? He shot a man just in order to get a tattoo, not because the man had brought any harm or trouble to Johnny’s loved ones. He made 2 guys welcome and offered hospitality, but then beat them with the wooden bat he created because he thought having two frog tats would be cool? Again the two men in question had not harmed him or his people or they would not have been invited to chill and hang. I absolutely do NOT understand. I DO understand vengeance. I thought you did your time for your crimes like a man and without implicating others. I thought you were violent in response to violence against your family. I did not realize it was frivolous. I understood in some people’s cases they had to chose to be beaten to death by a gang or join. In joining, being forced to commit a serious crime. I did not realize Johnny just attacked people for the hell of it. And Bless his poor Grandma holding out hope he would be her last hope of a decent law abiding, non murderous kid. That teardrop must have ripped her heart out.
I agree that this stuff is not commendable to hear and people are lapping it up and enjoying it and that’s wrong. This guys whole family is about that life. His gang goes back to the 40’s. This guy is at least 3rd generation Mexican American by the way he talks so I’m pretty sure his grandmas generation is the OG of his gang.
I swear AS SOON AS I see Johnny pop up man (if I can I will) I drop everything I’m doing and watch/listen the video man we need more of this foo man in my opinion he’s the best one!!!!! I know I’m from Nor cal and him So cal but idgaf man he’s the best guest out of all of them!!! I hope he comes back soon hate that we gotta wait months sometimes for a new one lol!!!! Keep them fire ass interviews coming!!
I hope & pray for Johnny to be safe & healthy off the streets God bless you Johnny' you remind me of some of the Johnny's I knew growing up a lot of them don't live long , it's good to see you makeing it out there take care.
I was in a few punk bands growing up. My first one when I was 15 we had a song called "Johnny on the go" it reminds me of him. One of the lines it was "Johnny on the go got a bullet in the head everybody thinks that he is dead.............he's alive......he's ah....live.....!" it was about a larger than life guy we knew from our hood who had 99 lives and just seemed to have been thru everything on earth. Hope u r well Johnny. You talk fast enough to be an auctioneer holmes 🤣😂 Be easy out there.
That analogy at the end of never putting your gloves up, folding your hand when you need to and keep playing the cards is fucking beautiful. Don't stop playing this game of life, play the hands your dealt and don't be a afraid to fold and play the next hand to win.
The real hero in all these stories is Johnny's grandmother. The stress her family put her through sounds astronomical and through it all, sounds like she loved and cared for everyone of those kids and did her best to keep them on the right path, even against all odds. I bet she was a strong woman.
She is probably just as gangster as her family. Where do you think they all learned how to be a gangster 😂
Abuela put the G in gangster he spoke about her in another video. She was the ain't play.
He said in his past stories, his grandma was with the business, but still tried to keep the peace.
My husband and I became young Glamparents suddenly. Changed me. I want her to hv the best life & we get put thru A LOT with our kids due to some mental illness. I do everything I can so my kids and glambaby hv a gd life. It's a lot and Im not looking after my own mental health but it's all about the kids. Im determined for them to have a great childhood and life in general. To not have them go thru what I did as a child I'll give up my own happiness & have in a heartbeat
Lol please. Grandma is the hero? You must not know LA too well. Grandpa knew what the tear drops meant so Grandma was no saint.
The Master storyteller is finally back. Thank you Mark.

I thought he was in jail facing life
Now Johnny can tell stories like no one's business! He has this storytelling capability that just takes you right along with his drift of memory lane. You know you're in for a treat when you see Johnny and his eyes close!
E
Exactly my thoughts
Factttsss🤣🤣🤣 when he close his eyes you know shit about to get good af💪🏽
Yes such a storyteller. Always hooks me...
So true, I could feel my adrenaline pumping when he was talking about earning his tear drop

Sleeping you tube soft white underbelly
Someone has to turn Johnny's story's into a Netflix series he is one of a kind #1
Call it “Froggy Style” lol
please, not Netflix
I was thinking the same. His story is like a real life movie.
HBO series
“I was young, I wasn’t into stabbing people yet”. Classic!!! So nonchalant even!
@Hunter Biden were you raised and born in LA ? Trust I have 5 brothers unfortunately 2 we're in gang's similar stories 🙄☹
Yet🙄
first only cutting in the beginning. before getting into stabbing..
@Hunter Biden when he says his uncle and cousin got the blame and did prison time for his crimes you know it really happened to his uncle and cousin just passing the story as his own
Stabbing someone is much more personal and violent than pulling a trigger. It takes a real commitment to the action.
Love Johnny's stories. Homeboy needs his own channel.
he needs a movie abt him tbh
he should write a book, is there anyway we can get info to Johnny or the channel that a lot of us want a book or videos, he could make money off a channel
Thats right
Fact!!
Even as technology changes, the oldest art of storytelling remains intact. Amazing stuff Mark!
The glasses are a good look on Johnny. As always, he can tell such amazing stories. What a fascinating soul.
He looks like a gangster Sam Tripoli.

@@lisafrederick8870 he is retelling things his uncle and cousin did as his own here, there is no way people misstake him for his uncle and have him doing prison for his crime. He is on heroin while he does this episodes otherwise he is in a bad mood. he living on the streets aswell so he embelish his stories to feel good. You really think he gives orders from his tent to gangmembers like a kingpin? thats what he claims
You can tell who the real is easy and Johnny real deal
It would be a trip to meet this man. This man has been through some of the most traumatizing and crazy shit in life and he’s so down to earth. He has so much wisdom in his words weather or not it’s on the surface. I love this channel!❤️
You give a voice to the people who's stuggles would otherwise not be heard. Johnny has the best most informative stories. Topic could be dark, but he sounds genuine. He could have a fan base.
Really? A fan base?made up of whom,more ignorant ,violent ,kids living and dying for nuthin but tattoos in shit black ink? Yeah it's fun to hear on ur friggin escalade goin to the office in the morn but think about all those mother's and father's waiting in hospital lobbies to hear if their son or daughter is dead or will ever wake from the car he put them in and whether they'll have to change her diapers twice a day for life. A real fan base.You yuppies in ur plastic bubbles watching the world go by outside thinking it's for ur amusement are sick and Jonny should wake u up with a shot from that table leg.
Johnny is by far my most favorite person you interview. I’ve watched every single interview he is in. We love Johnny!
I knew it was going to be a good morning . Settling in at the office , drinking coffee & listening to Johnny’s story 🙏✨ Im a big fan , HI JOHNNYYYYYY 🤙🏼
U want him to hit it
Johnny’s probably the best one on this channel
I am addicted to this channel.
"People used to think I was a bad guy because of my tattoo"
2 minutes later... "So I wanted to make something i could beat someone real bad with" 🤣
Never mind frog 🐸 tattoos douce, you need fish tattoos for all that flip flopping. Do people seriously believe you 🤦♂️
that's thee Gang Lyfe mayne! 🤷♀
Well his hood is documented and what he says it's facts yiu had to earn the frogs so yeah he must've being a menace a s a kid I found out his hood.is out here I'm the i.e diidnt really know that
just thinking yesterday that I haven't seen an update from Johnny. another great interview Mark and Johnny
Yes he's back love Johnny's stories
Johnny’s stories are always so interesting. God bless him ❤️🙏🏾
I swear , Yesterday I said to myself that we need a new episode of Johnny and then today, we get this one which is another banger 🔥💯🐸
Same I got excited
Luv when I see a new interview with Johnny 💙 Someone please give him a book deal, imagine how his life would change.
Dude should write a movie about his life. I’d really watch that.
IT'S CALLED BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT !
@@Lexington-Felix 😃
You’re gonna watch a book?????
Yeah would give Steven king a run for his money👍
I have missed Johnny, I usually keep up with him but this time I didn’t. Can’t believe I missed it when it came out.
He always has some good content. I can’t stop listening to it, I’m glad to know he’s self aware of his own tendencies. When he said the thing about how he didn’t get to choose I thought about myself. I didn’t get to choose where I was born or who I was born from but I have the chance to change it still. Thank you Johnny for your food for thought.
yessss my favorite EVERRRR !!!! thank u mark u make my day
Johnny is the best storyteller. Always enjoy his stories.
Mark!!! Bring Johnnys little brother. I’m sure he has some stories as well.
He can’t associate with his little brother but in previous episode he said he caught up with him and wanted to bring him on but I think he declined.I’m probably wrong but to see them both talk about a story would be crazy
@@alejandroalmaguer1053 is his lil brother a pc?
Or any of them brothers!
@@daniellozada3408 hes on the other side of the grass.
@@daniellozada3408 no jonny probably is he has a puto mark going down hes face to let everyone know hes no good for wherever reason it may be drug debut or a list of things and skid row is were most dropouts land as they cant go back to there hoods for the simple fact he can get murdered im sure once upon a time he was whit the business
This is the best video I’ve seen on your channel got goosebumps writing this so Ik that’s a clear indication I’ve learnt from watching Jonny speak the truth about things. Learnt a few things as well love the channel especially Jonny’s videos can watch them over and over thanks for sharing Jonny. 💯💪🏽
My top 5 SWU interviewees:
1. Sharp
2. Johnny
3. Patrick
4. Spooky
5. Louis
Honorable mentions: Gummo, Matthew
JC always a most to tune into. Amazing as always Mark & Johnny
Imagine your own homie kidnapping you and forcing you to participate in a murder. Lol Johnny was a real Menace to society.
yeah and glorifying a life of trying to hurt people and ruin families forever. deffinition of a lowlife
@@amb8405 more like hood legend
@@amb8405 he literally talks about how he feels wrong abt some of the shit he did
@@xivashh listen again
@@Thonss ok? 😂 I did now what bros sentence he wrote didn’t just magically change 😭
Liked this before the interview even started! Love Johnny's interviews
This guy should have his own podcast 💯
Mark, I find it so amazing that you were able to find the most bad ass undefeated crazy survivor gang banger on Skid Row. Good job love the videos.
That first story is utterly horrifying. How could someone irreprably taint a child's heart like that.
Someone probably did it to them too
It's because the world that you soft ass civilians come from and the world that Johhny comes from are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. That's how.
Everybody's life is different and some people's stories are already chiseled in stone and it's a way of life for generations trust me I come from a very well of family great home both my parents and I ended up going down the violent drug addiction incarceration path nobody made me do it I begged somebody to get me a roxxie I was 14 years old my parents were upstairs watching TV nobody knew I had gotten my hands on 2 Roxy 30s and I crushed one cut a straw and snorted it and that lit a fire in me that took a decade to come to an end I was off to the races I was a curious teenager and I always wanted to go big or go home I hated weed and the way it made me feel and I wanted to know why people did pills and boy did I ever find out it ended with me in a fentanly addiction and getting thrown in a jail that you wouldn't put your dogs in 4 times before I'd had enough I felt like I was earning my stripes I had resigned myself to one day going to prison like it was my destiny somehow I got sober
@@josemexable Do not care. Evil is evil.
@@haydendenard2693 So glad you're sober!!!
Yay !!!Johnny is a classic OG, Love his Stories. God Bless you
Johnny is the business 2 seconds in & the eyes are closed that’s the sign of a great memory of stories coming up! Johnny is a cool interesting dude & myself as an elder I appreciate all his stories & his narratives..... ✌🏻peace✌🏻🇮🇪
Or he still uses heroin.
Definitely the heroin 😂
I think this guy is my favorite of all interviews.. there’s a lot of kids who need to hear his story..
I wonder how Johnny would have been if he was raised in a different environment. This dude is committed beyond belief and loyalty.
TOO BAD HE DIDN'T TRY AND SET A BETTER EXAMPLE FOR HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER AND GET THAT TEAR DROP REMOVED. INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO HIS 6-YEAR-OLDS ADVICE.TEACHING HER IT'S NOT COOL AND THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO LIVE
@@Lexington-Felix That's who he is, and that's all he has, is his reputation and lifestyle. He grew up in the life, his family generational is from this type of life. Actually for him to be as old as he is and to have lived the way he did, he is blessed to be alive and not imprisoned for life. He is an OG, a legend. Considering that's all his children know due to the environment and life, they are proud of their father. I think his grandfather would have been able to make the change with him. His grandfather saw the potential in him, unfortunately for whatever reason it didn't go farther. The actual support that he would have needed as a child to not be as his older cousins and uncles would have been very hard. However as now, I think he can steer his younger children, but he would have to remove himself from the environment and change his entire style. I agree he would have and perhaps can still make the changes from this type of life.
@@gailmendez5465 Good explanation how his environment or nuture effected him. Took take life or injure severely without any repercussions for thoughts and for some times just to earn a tattoo is more than just environment. I believe if he were in a different environment he might still be drawn to killing and maiming by genetics or nature.
@@jdoyle4811 I believe genetics and nature does play a major part, and would be easier to trigger. However, if he was raised in a different environment, including teaching, nurturing and family. I would give him a 50/50 chance. Truth be told, he can still do good, by the younger generations. Yet that would include for him to give up his OG status and perhaps his life. All he has is his status, reputation, style and remains in survival mode, due to his lifestyle. He may be looked down on by higher socio-economic society, but he is somebody, highly respected in his world. As one would say, "His name rings bells."
@@gailmendez5465 Gail, it is such a pleasure to read comments that are well thought out in which I can feel educated. I did learn from the streets and delivered beer driving a trailer for Anhueser Busch company with inner city young men. My later expertise was in clinical research, monitoring data at hospitals and clinics across the US and also in South America that were delivered to the FDA for approval for experimental drugs and devices. It is so disheartening on TH-cam to be corrected all to often by individuals in regards to vaccines and Covid by those who do not even have a semblance of scientific knowledge. For you and your Family the best in Holidays
Both horrific and riveting. johnny is an incredible story teller with fascinating stories to tell. Thank you.
I would love to see throwback pics of Johnny in his youngster days. If you read this... please bring some pics in a future update! Also, thanks for your crazy stories, keep em coming. Much love ❤️
Johnnys stories are alway so interesting and I hope one day he can become the person he truly wants to be he’s still got time to break the chains. Have a great day
Very excited for another Johnny Story!
I can't believe how motivational Johnny is.
Hell yeah, love Johnny and his stories.
Yes sir only reason why I’m checking your channel it’s because of Johnny 💯💯💯💯
I have previously really enjoyed his story telling. This time he explained he sat and watched his cousin get their asswhooped for things HE did, he let his Adult Uncle do Adult time when he committed the crime and could have done teen time, he let his 1 year older than him cousin and various other uncles get in trouble for his misdeeds. Where is the Honor in that?
He shot a man just in order to get a tattoo, not because the man had brought any harm or trouble to Johnny’s loved ones. He made 2 guys welcome and offered hospitality, but then beat them with the wooden bat he created because he thought having two frog tats would be cool? Again the two men in question had not harmed him or his people or they would not have been invited to chill and hang. I absolutely do NOT understand.
I DO understand vengeance. I thought you did your time for your crimes like a man and without implicating others. I thought you were violent in response to violence against your family. I did not realize it was frivolous. I understood in some people’s cases they had to chose to be beaten to death by a gang or join. In joining, being forced to commit a serious crime. I did not realize Johnny just attacked people for the hell of it. And Bless his poor Grandma holding out hope he would be her last hope of a decent law abiding, non murderous kid. That teardrop must have ripped her heart out.
literally !! i’m a big fan of his stories but now he just seems evil as hell 😭😭
Hey for real!
I thought I was the only one thinking"how ridiculous and sad the stories I just heard were." These stories were embarrassing.
I agree that this stuff is not commendable to hear and people are lapping it up and enjoying it and that’s wrong. This guys whole family is about that life. His gang goes back to the 40’s. This guy is at least 3rd generation Mexican American by the way he talks so I’m pretty sure his grandmas generation is the OG of his gang.
@@jukezauxe you can’t be nice in a gang
@@Slim545 How about just loyal?
I swear AS SOON AS I see Johnny pop up man (if I can I will) I drop everything I’m doing and watch/listen the video man we need more of this foo man in my opinion he’s the best one!!!!! I know I’m from Nor cal and him So cal but idgaf man he’s the best guest out of all of them!!! I hope he comes back soon hate that we gotta wait months sometimes for a new one lol!!!! Keep them fire ass interviews coming!!
Fuck yeah!! Johnny Casper!! I love listening to this man's story I be at work and listen to this man talk!! Much love Johnny Casper
I hope & pray for Johnny to be safe & healthy off the streets God bless you Johnny' you remind me of some of the Johnny's I knew growing up a lot of them don't live long , it's good to see you makeing it out there take care.
I was in a few punk bands growing up. My first one when I was 15 we had a song called "Johnny on the go" it reminds me of him. One of the lines it was "Johnny on the go got a bullet in the head everybody thinks that he is dead.............he's alive......he's ah....live.....!" it was about a larger than life guy we knew from our hood who had 99 lives and just seemed to have been thru everything on earth.
Hope u r well Johnny. You talk fast enough to be an auctioneer holmes 🤣😂 Be easy out there.
Lol
Great interview thanks for the interview Johnny Hope to see another one soon!!
That analogy at the end of never putting your gloves up, folding your hand when you need to and keep playing the cards is fucking beautiful. Don't stop playing this game of life, play the hands your dealt and don't be a afraid to fold and play the next hand to win.
This really my favorite guest I love hearing his stories
