[@briarshard2871]

I note that Johnny doesn't really look at Vince in the eye, to people from other cultures, it is absolutely not a sign of shiftiness or rudeness. On the contrary its a form of respect as in Asian culture it is rude to look/ maintain prolonged eye contact with an elder or with someone you respect

[@jungergunther7550]

This is 100% true lol. I feel like esp amongst Koreans n Chinese fsho

[@Doctor-u5l]

That’s good to know cuz I had no idea and def noticed Johnny didn’t make much eye contact at all.

[@jorgillo86]

Minute 3:10

[@CarmelAV]

Interesting

[@mojovan123]

Yes, it's true. Especially when the gang members look into each eyes directly, that means they are going to challenge each other verbally or physically.

[@pwazz2028]

This is how you should interview someone. Respectfully asking direct questions and having Johnny share his experiences. Good job.

[@chinaboss6683]

Lets taco bout it. 😂

[@matthewcammarano5357]

My brother Johnny is amazing. He’s got an amazing testimony and a great story. What an amazing journey he’s been on. I’m so proud to be his friend.

Need to be made into a movie.

[@victorenriquez2642]

Yah I just got turned on to him very recently and yes!! He has a awesome testimony!!! True man of God now…

[@TheHailstorm77]

I’ll tell you wouldn’t saying he’s amazing in the 90s if you got robbed by him and beaten up or shot. So…Lesson learn. Avoid walking near gangs because they don’t grow up until late 30s. Boys during that era will kill many innocent people for no reason and if you were that victim, you wouldn’t think he’s a saint or say wow that’s a great guy. Even after admitting to guilt, many gangs already took many innocent lives and destroyed families.

[@FreeHumorLight]

i've got a question: what about Moms? im just watching this but , where is mom what about the Taoist budhissim? im very interested in Daoisim, what happened with that.

[@common_wolf]

the way this bro broke down sin and repentance in his SWU interview was flat out incredible. The apology to his dad was a blessing to me...

[@ringgalaxy2591]

Wah ching gang got destroyed and bullied by the ASIAN BOYZ GANG in the mid 90's

[@jayrush4076]

Johnny's testimony moved me. I was heavily involve in narcotics. Got busted once, but I'm still in trap til this day. But I promise myself I would stop once I sold all my stuff. Last week my friend got busted, few minutes before that happened we was chilling at the spot and I decided to go home to eat. By that simple act I think God protected me and he wanted me to change. I got a lot of friends who are dead and in jail, but that ain't scare me. Your testimony really touched my heart, Johnny. I would apologize to my dad in person when I get to New Jersey I live in the Philippines btw. I don't wanna be in that life anymore. I don't wanna be a burden to my family anymore. Pray for me 🙏🏻 God bless you, Johnny.

[@Seekingtruth-mx3ur]

You got this man!

Praying for you brother. You're not alone. Stay strong. God got you 💪🏽

I wish you all the best! God will help you get rid of this lifestyle.

[@ithosmagnanima]

I will pray for you Jay.

[@allegiencelies6610]

Listen bro. I’m from SGV not too too far from Johnny. Grew up there in the 90’s. That dope was everywhere got it’s hooks in everybody. Meth. Getting busted just to get out and get busted again. The one piece of advice that saved my life….”if you hang out with dogs…your gunna get fleas” I had to cut ties with a lotta people I loved and grew up with. I moved FAR….my daughter was born and that was it. IM DONE. IM GONE. you will never get clean when all you know is people who are fighting the same battle you are. Like crabs in a bucket. Every time someone is going to get out You will just drag each other down. BE SELFISH for once in your life. It’s a big world. Move. It’s hard bro. I get it. But if you hang out with dogs your gunna get fleas. Good luck. God bless.

[@uohceel3796]

I started tearing when he called his father, and they apologized to each other. I did a lot of bad stuff in my teens cause of a broken home and not having a good relationship with my father. As I am older now, this interview makes me wanna call my father to apologize and let him know I love him.

[@LIbertyorDeath419]

Asians and Hispanics are two of the most traditional minded groups on the West Coast and we should be united. God bless you guys.

[@deroxanlit4181]

honestly asian and mexican probably get bullied the most out of all the group. so why do we find the meet to bullying each other. we are all immigrant. what is the point of like continue generational beef

[@fuexiong88]

As an Asian who grew up in NorCal, we were always cool with the Hispanics, but I heard in SoCal, Asians and Hispanics didn't get along. Growing up in Sacramento, I worked with a lot of Hispanics. Bought guns and drugs from them, vice versa. Hispanics had their own gang wars with each other, and Asians had their own gang wars with each other. Not much of a race war in my neighborhood.

Dope interview. I’ve seen most his interviews and this was definitely different. The questions you ask, letting us see his tats and explain them, bringing him to the old neighborhoods. Thank you and Johnny for this.

Is it a must to send a message and feel the need to push your religious beliefs ? Why do you guys feel the need to constantly push your religious beliefs onto others ? Why not push for change period without the religious baggage. Drives a lot of us away who don’t believe in that.

[@JuanFlores-jn6py]

Vince, great episode!! I grew up in the SGV Valley, lived in Monterey Park, Alhambra. Johnny bless the Lord, God almighty you changed your life and are trying to help. The places you went to the parks bring back so many memories. It goes to show that no matter the race, or background we are all in the struggle, yet we aren't so different after all. God bless, keep the great podcasts.

[@chetcolson7312]

Thank you Barrio Driven, powerful stuff. Much love.

[@djWOOF]

37:00 look at how quickly he puts away his compulsion to cry. he must have learned to do that so much throughout his life that hes gotten so good at it.

[@theunknownWitsom]

Literally... God gives his strongest soldiers the hardest battles. Johnny is as real as it gets

[@kevodean]

damn this is a awesome style of interview. never seen anything like this, johnny your the fucking man, love you brother

[@elguapo90]

I'm a Chicano from Florida. Never was into the gang stuff, thankfully it wasn't around me. My dad never beat me, because he wasn't there for most of my life. His absence made me so angry growing up, I didn't care about school or anything. As I got older and spent some time with my dad, he told me about how his father used to severely physically abuse him. It didn't make the pain from his absence in my life go away, but it helped, because it showed me that my dad had been a better dad than his dad was to him at least. There's few things more sacred and essential to the development of a young man than his relationship to his father or father figure. I think so many of us can relate to the ups and downs that comes with that relationship.

[@antoniolara5202]

You can hearJohnny’s pain when he talks about his dad GOD bless y’all both 🙏

That was another solid interview your true professionalism is what makes the show great it shows that Chicanos can be intelligent and down to earth.

Is there a reason to think otherwise? The opposite would be that Chicanos are dumb and up from hell lol.

This is so real it hit me hard man so hard I've NEVER related to a story so much what you guys are doing in these interviews are so real and honest these people need to know the truth about the lifestyle and decisions and how that life will only lead you to death or prison honestly and we were once innocent before make that decision of signing our life way to the front line of this vicious cycle 💯💯💙💯🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏 This just shows that it's possible it's possible to make it out and change and the way it to surrender to the Lord as our creator and our father he will forgive and handle what is out of our control and he will deal with the wrong and bless us with what we need to heal and live a better life and not suffer anymore...🙏💯💙🙌
