When you're interviewing a charismatic personality with an interesting story, it's best to allow them to speak in narrative as opposed to constant Q&A. Most interviewees don't have the ability to speak in narrative.

This was Vlad's easiest interview, he barely has to say a word. I love how Larry changed his life for the better. Would love to have a beer and listen to a few more of his story's.

[@CivilizedWarrior]

Then check out Larry’s channel, if you haven’t already, he pretty much tells his whole life story in serial episodes, and reviews jail movies and talks about other prison related issues.

[@tomdallas3690]

I noticed that as well. Larry carried the freight all the way without much interuption.

[@harvey2609]

Thank God. Sometimes Vlad ask the dumbest questions. Asking a guy named Lawton if he was on track to becoming a made guy. WTF!

[@SwirkH]

Larry left out the most important part of why he destroyed that unit manager's office in prison. They locked up someone in solitary for something Larry did, and the guy wouldn't snitch on Larry. So Larry went to the unit manager, admitted to what did, but the woman wouldn't do anything about it unless that other guy decided to snitch on Larry himself. So he lost it. She was also known for being abusive and overall rude to people, If I'm correct she got fired later for having sex with an inmate in her office. Larry is a true stand up guy ! I highly recommend his channel where he tells all of his story in great detail.
