The true OG. He doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for starting the prison genre.

Big Herc is as real as it gets, I remember i was part of this non-profit in Pomona that works with at risk youth, and we reached out to herc to come speak to the kids; he came through, shared his life and brought merch! No charge real OG

Bro im so happy Herc got his story on a big ass platform.

You got a real one today Adam. Big Herc is awsome, He’s one of the few content creators actually out here doing good for our society, and helping young men be the best they can be.

Adam played it cool bc he knew he’d get his wig split if he disrespected Big Herc

Let’s go big herc been watching him for 5-6 years

I’ve got nothing but love for Big Herc and what hes doing. If he keeps one man/woman out of the system his work has paid off.

Big Herc is as real as it gets. I remember one night I got jumped by 6 homies, and went to my car to grab my strap and for some reason I had youtube notifs on and Fresh Out was on my feed and I just started cryin with the gun in my lap. He literally saved my life. Im in college rn and am abouta go to UARK for biochemistry man. I love this man from the bottom of my heart fr. Saved my life fr. Much love from the 714🤝

Adams algorithm game is unmatched I was just watching Fresh out, then here comes Adam with a whole interview. He literally does this all the time.

Big Herc Salute! He’s a legend on the tube for being just a solid dude and good people!! Much respect ✊

Big herc is the youtube prison godfather. Much respect

Big Herc is a real one. Dude stays humble, tries to steer kids away from the streets and explains that theres nothing cool about playing the streets and going to prison. We need more folks like big herc.

"Step-dad looked so pathetic when I confronted him, that's why I gave him a pass" beautiful content. Keep giving the goods

This dude helped change my life. Im all about positivity and uplifting each other and unfortunately not everyone embraces that positive change in each other

I’ve never heard of him before but this man has such wisdom. He’s so articulate.

Adam's eyes probably lit up behind those sunglasses as soon as he heard Herc say bmx 🤣

Big herc doesn't seem like he belongs in jail. He reminds me of a neighbor you'd see in a upscale neighbor

Big herc is out here living his best life since he got out of prison, he’s a great example of changing your life around for the better for real 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I’m from the South Bronx. I begged My mom to put me in a day camp that bused is to the woods every day. I sorta hated it at first - I thought they were gonna take us to play land! All the bugs and nature and hiking. It was all so strange and scary. Scarier than the crackheads in my neighborhood. I went every summer from 3rd to 5th grade. We took boats out on the Hudson River (we were The Hudson River Explorers 🙂), played in grass fields, and went hiking. Looking back it really made a huge difference in my life. It opened up my world and my mind just being in nature. There are ppl in my old neighborhood who have never left. Exposure really matters.

Big herc is the father figure many men never had

I didn’t expect Big Herc to be on here, you need to get Wes Watson next!

Pretty refreshing hearing a brother on your show like big herk speak without using the “N word” in every sentence👊

Finally a guest who really lived that life and isn't about that bullshit. People who suffered real consequences teach real lessons

Herc is a real one. This is fire. Also, props to Adam on the work, he's dishing out alot of interviews, as of late. Respect.

Big Herc is a real one, I did an interview on his channel. Thanks for the promoting the culture ✊🏾

Dude is such an intelligent and genuinely nice person. Im glad he got a second chance at life

Oh snap, Big Herc on no jumper? He about to give Adam the speech about cheekbusting and wig splitting and Peter-gazing

This guy is literally my twin, I'm Mexican but everything he's going through or went through in life happened to me, it feels good to relate to someone, I always love school I love getting good grades but just to show off and show that I was tough I had to go do stupid s*** in enemy's neighborhood and do stupid s*** in my own neighborhood that I regret, I always wanted to be a professional boxer and a professional Jiu-Jitsu practitioner but I never had any guidance, much love big herc... I love your story

Big Herc is an inspiration, lived it and didnt just talk about it. What a G. Respect. Fresh Out is a great channel on here.

World needs more big hercs. So humble. Love this guy

Big Herc is the OG of Prison KZfaq channels 🔥

Man I love Big Herc, glad to see him on here.

Adam gonna sign him to his adult film production company and they’re gonna make history. Fresh In: The Cheek Bust Chronicles 1-20, keep an eye out folks

Big Herc on million dollars worth of game would be legendary. 🗣🗣 Wallo make it happen

Facts about being from Long Beach and never going to the beach. When u in survival mode or just worried about day to day living going to the beach and relaxing is the last thing on your mind.

this is so dope i can’t believe the collab

Crazy to hear how smart he was/is. Dope story

Bruh big herc kept me outa trouble since middle school, now I’m in college

Respect to big herc been a subscriber from the rip. Randomly came across a video from your channel and never turned back.

I’m glad somebody finally interviewed Big Herc. Been watching his channel for some years now 🥂👏🏾

Damn, i wasnt ready for this collab

I had to tear up when big herc said “ what’s your excuse”. That used to be me. . No extra effort , I’ hustle so hard to not waste any time and working 2 jobs. I have no excuses to make anymore. 🔥

BOUT TIME !!!! Been a Herc fan for bout 3 years. Love from STL.

this dude had me hooked. I never really watch the full interview from start to finish. I just kept listening to him, hes smart af and a good dude.

Adam gone get his wig split and possibly cheeks busted

He’s totally right. Without positive role models in close proximity to a young person life is confusing.

Damn! Big Herc made it to No Jumper! Much respect.

Good shit adam. Love to see you interview people who have a message and want to help the community

I have high respect for Herc. He has a good head in his shoulders, and many people should take example of what kinda man he is now.

best podcast in a while, always wanted to know his background in this 1x1 type of setting

Big herc on the weekly podcast would be hilarious 😂

Dope interview and a true testament to how people can be influenced but also take responsibility and rise up. Many people would have given up or given in, he was blessed to have some people nurture his drive after some poor choices. Salute

Big herc definitely gonna talk about men busting cheeks behind the bars

I learned all about wig splitting, cheek busting, and peter gazing from Big Herc.

Always love listening to big herc. Thanks for interviewing him 💯

Herc is a G and ever since I first found his channel years ago ive thought he’s very inspirational and motivating about staying on the right path.

Big Herc is a skater. Fuck yeah lol

Shout out to Big Herc for putting all the prison KZfaq channels on

He's 1,000% correct about it being on the parents. If you're a real parent, you'll wait until you're in a good part in life to start another life.

This is a fantastic interview. Honestly if I had heard this interview 5 years ago I would of thought twice about a few things

LMFAAAO whole lotta wig splitting action going down this interview goated 💯!

Big Herc, is my idol . This one coolest brother out there, bring more real people on your show, balance please

Some stories he tells would make your toes curl

The term for the type of people in AZ is called conservatives. Cant get more humble than a real conservative

In the immortal words of the great Big Herc: wig split, cheeks busted. Lol

Big Herc is definitely doing some Good Works out here; nothing but inspiration from this man and his story!

Big Herc in the cut! love to see it

Glad to see Big Herc on a big podcast! Such an insprising story

Good interview Adam. These stories offset the damage done by the younger knuckleheads. Glad you pressed this dude about the things HE COULDVE done rather than letting him make his stupid excuses as to why he went to prison

Probably the best episode in the history of the podcast

I fell asleep and woke up listening to this. I have never seen or heard either of these guys. This is a trip. This dude has 3.98 million subs?!?! WTF?!?!

every now and then Adam gives us a banger interview

Didn't see this one coming. Salute to big herc! Keep progressing big homey! Love from AZ

Thanks. You've sparked my interest many times Adam. Here's to another one. 🍻

Big herc and his channel drop a lot of knowledge for anyone in any walk of life. Awesome that you had him on here.

I have those dreams to this day. That I’m back on the yard and have no release date. I’m doing my thing and wondering if/when I’m going home. That’s PTSD.

Adam’s really goated for this one 😂😂

Big herc!!!!! FRESH OUT !!!! Salute from NYC 💯💯💯💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴😬😬😬😬💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Great interview never heard of this dude but he had amazing stories and was really inspirational. I learned a lot from this interview this is why I watch no jumper the content is 💯

ADAM COMING WITH BANGERS

This man has more intelect in one finger than the past 25 guests combined. No disrespect to the past guests tho✌

Best interview this year and top 3 interviews on no Jumper period

Big Herc 916. Bringing positivity and motivation..og wigsplitter and certified gut buster

Congrats Big Herc! You came a long way🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Adam be having everyone on the show. Please never change

I follow fresh out, but man I really needed to hear what big herc was talking about. Thanks Adam I needed that. Thanks big herc

Dam finally a legit interview

Finna be watching this in work tomorrow

Big Herc always been a cool ass dude .Very Postive Spirit. Wish he had an Motivational audiobook to listen to

Adam will be remembered for always putting people on. Vlad is the drake of interviewers . He’ll only touch you if you hot .

HERC put so many of these KZfaqrs on. Never hated or tried to stifle competition on YT. Salute to a real OG

Dude I haven't watched fresh out in a minute. I think the algorithm punishes good content like his

Herc's step-dad dodged a nuclear missile when he gave him a pass cause he shows pictures of him young at that age and that man woulda been straight toast with strawberry jam and no spreading knife

Big herc deserve this interview one of the biggest prison youtube channels at one point mad respect herc

Shoutout to those who have been struggling through mental health and have not been able to find the motivation to push forward since the beginning of C-19… weather you lost a job, a significant other, ect. Let’s be positive, takes a lot of work to be positive and takes no work to be negative. Let’s work at it together 🤞🏼

Environment is Everything. I'd have a totally different life if I had just been raised in a different environment. Great interview. Herc came across even better on this talk and he's already hella positive.

Long over due for big herc to hit a big audience

All jokes aside, I’m glad Big Herc was on this podcast. I’ve learned wisdom from this guy

Adam did amazing job interviewing him 👏🏾
