Hey Ian thanks for letting me share my experiences on your podcast. This was probably the hardest thing that I’ve ever done, but I’m glad I did it. Thanks again for the experience and I wish you the most success!

Thank god I had a dad that would kick my ass if I stepped out of line. He died when I was 20 years old but I'm so thankful for him now.

Ian nice job interviewing Jessie. Jessie was so young when he got arrested and no high school diploma, you really lead this interview so well. Great job

Sending love from jersey! Keep it up as always, I look forward to these videos to help me with my current situation.

Great episode as always. Your content is very interesting. I enjoy all your interviews

Keep grinding Ian, love this podcast

And he seem like he telling someone else story and don’t really know the story that well

This guy. This guy you just want to hug him and tell him he's okay now. Who'd have guessed he was ONCE an armed robber. How many great, outstanding, assets to the world are trapped in these awful situations and environments. I love how you call attention to the impact that his childhood actions had one others. Your interviewing technique is really top notch. Did you study it? I do like that factual, objective manner you have. The complex geography of Pittsburgh!

Another great show keep up the great work

Another great interview

I don't know about this one seemed like he tried to hard wasn't really feeling it

Jessie was great! He is a great storyteller, I hope he keeps sharing his story

Great video

Another great interview Ian!! This guy seemed really nervous at first but you did a great job helping him feel more comfortable. I love how every single one of your interviews has a good outcome!

You tried but this one Ian as you always do. I'm not believing a whole lot of what this guy is saying though.

Great interview. Thank you for sharing your story, Jesse I want to know if Ian has taken course like mediator or counseling type? Or, are ya just following the joe Rogan method/super skill that just gets people to open up with your very subtle leading? Either way, good job 💚 Commenting using ESG to mind algorithm overlords 🙃

Wilkins township here. Glad ur doing good.

Idk about this one. First off, I'm from Buffalo, and the Buffalo Bills didn't play the Patriots in the playoffs in 2008. Our team wasn't even on the same level as the Patriots in 08. Maybe a couple of years ago, when we destroyed them in the playoffs. I believe the game is called the "no punt game" but definitely not in 08. Either he's mixing up his team's or something is fishy lol

Repping Pittsburgh with the 412 hoodie..love to see it!

Hold up you gotta see your probation officer 24 hrs after being released you smoking weed drinking at 16 years old that’s a violation… this guy is clearly lying

horrible story telling. Ian good job keeping on track

My boy was real ghetto. You know all the stereotypical typical jibba jabba. I'm dying right now. Lololol 🤣 just wow .. this is HILARIOUS. I swear this was a PBS after-school special. Maybe a lifetime movie.

So you are a child and they released you without a parent? How is it that your mom doesn't know your release date? Youre breaking in cars but have $ to buy all of these guns? They put a gun to your head and you got away? Thought you said you had guns in the house but the cops didnt find them?

Mclovin on a Sunday

This guy is legit. Reminds me of myself when I was younger. Stay true to yourself homie

And he said 18 he got aressted again and bailed out how if you are on probation you can’t bail out you can’t not go to jail without doing time that’s a violation either way police contact

Crazy how much of a difference a father figure makes.

What part of the burgh

So excited for this.! I love this shit!

This guys story is holier then a preacher

good luck to thus dude,

Listening to this really gave me some flash backs. Sounds like this dude grew up very similarly to the way I did, which made listening to this a little hard if I’m being honest. If you get out of a place like that, you tend to try and forget about it. In some ways it’s trauma so you try and make peace with it and move on.

I’m absolutely not any sort of expert but I’ve known this before. It’s called conduct disorder before the age of 15. After that age, the problem is more serious. Ian is asking the right questions.

Im from the neighborhood he's from. It's really that tough out there

I know exactly what he is talking about what it's like in the city of Pittsburgh. He's a good dude he was trying to think of his stuff did not say too many names. For all those that criticized him.

This guy needs to have at least some accountability for his actions

Blaming grand theft auto and rap music for your own mistakes, i just dont understand that. Ive listened to rap since i was in elementary school, ive played every gta game and i never thought about robbing anyone because i had a healthy mindset. I knew hurting people was wrong and unacceptable.

Dude either dont wanna talk about it or he aint tellin the whole truth. Im not sure which 1

This guys story is all over the place. I know this dude and this is laughable

Bro, both you and your friend who actually did the robbery are so lucky! He pulled the magazine out, put it back in then racked a round to show it was real. Huge mistake. I know a lot of law abiding citizens that keep a handgun on them with 1 in the chamber whenever they go out and that would have been the perfect opportunity for someone with their own firearm to draw it and shoot him! Could have also used that moment to try to take it from him and use it against him. Because you were committing a felony, had that happened and he died, you'd have been charged with murder because your actions would have been what inevitably caused his death. Doesn't matter if you pulled the trigger or not, that's just how the law works. Btw not to give criminals advice but if you're gonna carry, keep 1 in the chamber! If you gonna be living that life or just live in a bad area and have a CCW, that's something that'll get you killed cuz in an emergency, you're likely not gonna have time to rack the slide or might be in a situation where you physically can't... If you're worried that you're gonna accidentally shoot yourself, that's why you buy and use a holster. I wish they still taught gun safety in schools, especially in the inner cities and in bad neighborhoods. Teens in those areas are running around with a 9 or whatever in their waist, thinking it's cool when they've never even shot it or any other firearm for that matter and they know nothing about how to safely carry one. Education doesn't mean that you support teens or anybody else illegally carrying a gun or breaking any other law, it's called understanding how the real world works and promoting harm reduction. Ignoring the problem and just hoping it'll go away is the equivalent to thinking Nancy Reagan running around saying, "just say no!" in the 80s would work. Well, that was like 40 years ago, people are dropping off left and right from fentanyl now, obviously "just say no" failed horribly smh! What works is treating kids like they're actually capable of understanding complicated topics, telling them the cold, hard facts about the world then educating them how to safely behave in said world and handle dangerous items properly. It doesn't matter if we like it or not, teens all over the country are messing around with drugs and/or guns. Teaching teens about them and how to treat both with the caution and respect that they deserve is a must, parents should be doing so long before their kids are teenagers but unfortunately, a lot don't. Yeah, most parents try to raise kids that just won't get involved in that stuff to begin with but relying on that alone isn't enough, education and first hand experience with firearms is extremely important. 90% or more of the teens that I knew growing up who thought carrying a gun was cool had one thing in common, they didn't have a dad or anybody else around that had actually taken them out shooting as a kid or anyone who educated them on gun safety. I don't care what your opinion on guns is, the reality is that they're in every city and time and time again, it's been shown that the best way to keep kids safe is through education and removing the mystery or whatever you want to call it that kids have from seeing them in videogames/film/television, hearing about them in music, etc.

Riddle me this What stick up kids armed ring the door bell and then try to rob someone… I’m a former stick up kid ( not proud) and we never rung nobody door bell especially with guns

My mom put the drug dealer on blast in the middle of the road, she wasn't snitching tho. She's just verbal.. No that's snitching..

as always ian you make the interview worth watching. but this guy isn’t the one.

I think everyone has the 'freedom' dream in jail... whether it's your first time or your fiftieth...!!

I’m so glad you’re consistently uploading! Keep that Big Bick Energy flowing! We are here for it!! ❤🦝

Idk about this one.

Nobody has done any kentucky state prison interviews

Grand Master B 🤙🏼

👍

Can anyone else tell this guy is making this up as he goes he will pause and look at ian and think about what would sound good next ...Poser for sure!!

Clicked off of Rogan cast for this. I'm calling it, Ian will make it to Rogan by 2025.

Damn what is someone to do if they are raised in his situation? You have no chance. You have friends committing crimes. Its so messed up and idk how to fix it

Another Banger Colab 💪

Interview Steve Madden #convict

I live one neighborhood away from this dude.

Things that never happened for $1000 Alex

Very much not true

I can kinda relate with siblings from a Farther before my Dad came in. I used to torment my older brother because it was my dad. IDNGAF I chased him with Scissors and stabbed them through the bedroom door that Him and his best friend ran behind.😂 I felt so bad when I was slightly older and he went to live with his dad. We are close though. It's good my 1st Grade Teacher was amazing or I would of been in Prison 💯 My Mom actually seriously not just jokingly if she should warn my Teacher. My mom's friend said they'll see. At Parent Teacher Interviews she said I was the sweetest kid in the Class, my mom asked her if she had the wrong kids paper.

Cap

This guy is ridiculous man This is a terrible story it’s not even believable or entertaining

Where this 3rd grader come from ?

Dude sounds like Nate bargatze

He needs to write a book

This kid has PTSD in my opinion

"Mum"

he did county tume not prison time. big difference

this guys lien bro. horrible story telling to.

I love this podcast I’ve watched almost every episode but this one my friend was not it lol dude needs to work on his public speaking and storytelling but I get how it could be harder for some folks than it is for others.

I can't imagine what this guy was like at 15. He doesn't even act like he's 15 now! We get it dude you grew up without a Dad in a bad neighborhood! You and millions of other people,take some accountability for your actions

15 years old 9 mm on my hip 7 guns drawn on me lol 😆 worst guest ive heard on here

Yeah Buddy Primanti Bros. You've probably made me a sandwich bro, I'm outside Philly but had people in University of Pitt, and usd to go for Steelers games. Man glad your kid helped set you straight. I was similar situation my son saved my life. Hes 12 now and my best friend

H😢he said he grew up in environment rouph poor And so on It was normal for guns Stole his brothers gun' Then Ian interupts says oh yeah you seen that stuff on TV thought it was cool' Tottaly ignored what the guest said multiple times'his envirment Sonetimes Ian bick'yr very judgmental 'have yr mind pre set'due to your very different up bringing' You dont hear what he says at times You just state your opinion its very anniying Verging on ignorence

Decent interview until he started using rap music and GTA as an excuse. I’m sure a majority of us do both and never went down a life of crime

Real recognize real this dude fake asf this dude reminds me of a undercover cop trying to get a sale , dude couldnt get work on labor day

What we need is longer, harsher prison sentences. More liberal use of the death penalty. People like this don’t understand anything else but fear and power.

Very boring interview, not Ian’s fault. Whoever Ian uses as an editor or publicist needs to not release the bad interviews.

Wow yins really are some bullies. Not everyone has to like this video or what hes saying but comment low blows after another for what. Oh yeah your behind a phone. 😂. Its one thing to have a conversation about your opinions but to have comments that are rude about the way he talks and shit. Like why let me guess you have the best education and best speech and can do any intview you want perfect for the first time. Ya ok 👍 .

Clown 😂

This sounds super fake. And for the love of baby Jesus tell anyone else like him to stop with the annoying lips making and swallowing in the microphone. Had to stop listening. All the other interviews have been great.

This dude wasnt about anything, trying to blame music for the shit you did, get real

Im so confused with American im form uk and all you hear is white people are rich! But it dont seem like that at all

lame interview.

Lol zero accountability from this clown cake , blames media nd games and surrounding like his mother wasn’t trying or being a decent example . talk to your kids and explain things to them why things are right why things are wrong and u won’t have to worry about outside influences lol holy moly

This guy is lying this is by far the worst interview I can’t even watch it all

👍
