The Florida Joker From GTA 6

In this weeks episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I spoke to Lawrence Sullivan also known as Joker Gang! Lawrence is a controversial social media personality based in Florida. He first went viral after he was arrested and his mug shot was released to the public. In this episode we talked about the meaning behind his face tattoos, multiple arrests, friendship with the Island Boys, childhood and the relationship with his friends and family. He also shared his views on society and American politics.

Do you know how to properly close a segment let alone a podcast. That was so rude how you just cut him off mid story and said that you were done. Then when GTA 6 has him portrayed in the new game you change the name of the video to suckle whatever clout you can get

[@Gabestercosplay]

​mgultra1231 I thought it was really rude of him to all of a sudden tell him that hes done with no warning

This guy is really interesting. He says alot of real shit.

[@christyyamada3530]

I follow him on Instagram and it’s so crazy because a lot of people are intimidated just off his looks, but he’s actually a very very good person, he cares about the ones that he loves and I feel like there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to protect them. So hate on it all you want, but there’s not many like him who would go to the lengths he’s willing to go to. Much love you joker always ❤

This worm doesn't even know how to setup a pair of cameras properly. And then when people try and point out the issue to help him sort it out and improve his product, he deletes their comments and ghosts them. He's a worm, nothing more.

[@wideawakepodcast]

I am so confused by this comment! 😂 what’s wrong with the way the cameras are placed?

[@xxxneoxxx]

Lol his dads Irish. That says it all. Tough, hard, alcoholic I'd imagine. Here in Australia crack is meth. He's changed, grown and matured alot since I last saw him, as long as he leaves the crack behind he'll do fine.

Scary man. Josh you're going to have nightmares. Okay, I can't see, has he done something to his mouth. He sounds like he struggles to open his mouth when he speaks? I do think he has trauma and he's kind of a sad figure.

[@lucreziamorganti9115]

Whatever problems this man may have had, it’s absolutely never a reason to view him badly, instead he should be understood and accepted in his own diversity and characteristics. Society is really fucked up with judging and labelling people by whatever, and this should really end.

(edited) *@osamaraja* Crazy indeed. He didn’t predict anything. Grand Theft Auto wasn’t mentioned once. It’s obvious that he changed the title *after* Rockstar released their trailer. I’m going with you made that comment entirely based on the title, rather than watching the video.

[@huffingtrash7173]

I don't at all believe that this dude wasn't bullied. I think he thinks if he says he was bullied that it makes him look weak. And the fact he says he was just wanting to numb himself with drugs as a kid is further proof that he most likely was bullied. He isn't a big dude either, so I'm sure he was very tiny as a kid. It's sad that he feels like he can't ever be truly vulnerable.
