John's a cool old boy.

He's is wrong there used to be creatine in prison but maybe after he was in idk for sure what year not anymore though water muscles

[@scottculli7851]

Last night, I don’t know what channel but I saw a documentary on you, I recognized your face after a podcast, and thought, the next big thing,

[@taylorsularz3726]

where are the pictures of john before and after?

[@JeSTeR-X1o]

Love all your shows Shaun,I been bringing catching up,Darren gee was the only one I couldnt listen to after only 10mins in,but that wasn't your fault bro👍

[@nathanjones1008]

John is the best storyteller,he should be writing books,making TV programmes anything to get them to a wider audience.

[@beentheredoneization]

Have to agree. John and David McMillan I think. Facinating styles and deliveries both.

[@bc9485]

Yes, fascinating! If you can't tell that someone's LYING when they make up grandiose story's like this, don't know what to tell you. Bet you still believe politicians too, lol.

[@Neomeister1]

Hands down your best guest to date, been dying for part 4. Hope he talks more about his Japan trip

[@ianwalters11]

John is amazing so articulate and a great voice for recounting his stories and experiences. Thanks Shaun love your channel as always and thanks John for coming back. You always bring a chuckle, what I love is how I find myself being in your story, be it your POV or watching at the side as things unfold like a movie. That’s the mark of a great storyteller👍👊

[@brendancronin3796]

I've got to be honest ..I could listen to John all day ...he has an innate intelligence and you can understand how he survived the situations . He also has a fantastic way of simplifying things ...his use of metaphors really draws you in , he's my favourite guest by far .

[@PeaceLoveUnity74]

I could listen to this guy for hours on end,I like how he adds a touch of philosophy to some of his answers,I hope you have more future interviews lined up with him👍

[@grizzer30]

John speaks so well, and has a proper story telling voice. Another great listen

[@simonoreilly3090]

Loved John's pre smartphone hippie traveller definition (1:24:00). In 1989 I went off to India and Nepal with a friend, and reappeared 6 months later emaciated with dysentery! I just snorted my coffee through my nose when he said that!

[@blazefairchild465]

Great interview Shaun ! I love when the two of you are on together,it just flows . Johns story’s are so interesting , I will have to go back to watch all 4 again, as sometimes I missed bits due to laughing. Your smile & laughter is so lovely to see ,just a joy to watch.

[@radcow]

John and David Macmillan are by far the best guests

This is what happens when you tell the same stories for 30 years. Each time you tell it the story grows a little and before you know it Arnold is 6'6"

I know I had to google it

[@dandavis8300]

@@radcow --Wiki says Arnold is 6'2". I've seen him in person and I think he's shorter than my height which is 6'. This is Arnold's BS, not John's. When word got out he was nowhere near 6'6", Arnold compromised and said, would you believe 6'2"?

[@aegontargaryen9322]

John is still my favourite person that you have interviewed Shaun . I loved listening to Johns tales , he is such a great story teller

[@JamesWilliams-ex8nd]

I started with Thompson and I’m working my way back. It never ceases to amaze me how highly intelligent and articulate people like John end up banged up. It sounds like he got square, but wouldn’t a biographical movie about his life be a great thing?

[@DavidR..Shay2.0]

The AB was created in San Quinten in the mid 60s originally several Irish American prisoners formed the origins of the gang.

[@garyshiek3386]

Not altogether true. I was there. If you were a white boy; and not just a "Caucasian " dude, it time to saddle up. That comment sounded like there was some kind of flood of Irish folks. The Shamrock was indicative of the tip because it represents the purest of the race...

[@vincentshelpfulhints4085]

I live in America in Illinois Minimum wage is 11 dollars per hour except for servers (waitresses) their wage is 6.60 per hour that is completely wrong in my view so I almost always tip.. I am 57 years old I could count on one hand where I did not tip and that was because of bad service, many of the waitresses are single women with children, I have not seen any male servers in our area.. What I don't like is some restaurants require tip sharing. everyone is trying to make their own way in this world why should servers be punished. who knows your server could be the next congress women or man

[@williampark6704]

Great. I've just been, in early March '24, roaming around the Shaun Attwood channel, haven't even seen most of the previous John Abbott episodes, but will do; meanwhile, have been so entertained by this, laughing along at times, + given a lot to think about and process ... much love, and will be doing more catching up in the days, weeks, months to come.

[@dougstyles]

I was on a 4 yard for 3 yrs and went to the chow hall for lunch like any other day. But this day, a cocky Sgt decided to sit in the ABs shot callers spot that everyone on the yard knew not to go near. Silence fell quickly as we all lined up for our trays. Nobody was eating, just watching, waiting. Sure enough a youngster smashed the Sgts face with his hard plastic tray and all hell broke loose. I was literally walking out when this happened so I didn't catch a beat down for not participating. The C.O. in the tower did make us all hit the dirt right outside the chowhall while pointing his AR15 directly at us. What's strange is I felt no fear. I wasn't a tough guy in prison, played alot of basketball and was a teachers aid. But to this day if that CO had decided to open fire, I may not be here. What's strange is that part of my life seems like someone else's. I did a full 5.2 yrs and I do have the occasional nightmare but other than that, it's as if it didn't happen. Strange.

[@wjtgbio5218]

1:36:42 the only thing I have issue with so far I love John abbots podcasts but this one thing I think isn’t the same is his experience compared to a soldier Soldiers are going to countries with different cultures and seeing the most horrendous acts for example Craig Harrison who I support whole heartedly has chronic PTSD and flashbacks has killed people because he was ordered to or through the defence of his guys on the ground, been blown up and shot in the helmet causing head trauma. He’s lifted babys out of skips that have died. He’s seen the back of his friends head come out and tried to hold his head together knowing he’s gone. You cannot compare that to shootouts with police in your own city/state or stabbings in a prison. They’re very bad experiences but to compare yourself to a soldiers experiences isn’t right at all

[@allistairmitchell3845]

Fear: I was afraid of heights. I was an actress and had to do a play where I was a 12 year old girl and I had to climb a 25 foot ladder in the dark and give a speech. I realizad that the 12 year old girl wasn’t afraid of heights. I charged up that ladder every performance because I wasn’t “me” - I was that girl. I’m no longer afraid of heights.

[@donharrold1375]

Tips: Agree with John on the creepy attitude of waiters and waitresses. The problem in the States is the dominance of chain restaurants where food is awful reheated boil in the bag mush, and no amount of service is going to make that a pleasurable experience. As far as service in the UK is concerned, it’s shocking. Utterly dreadful. The reason for that is the complete lack of training and the very low wages and poor calibre of staff.
