Full Episode
When I showed up to the state prison, I ended up cutting hair. I've cut John Jones, Diego Sanchez, Alistair Overeem. My thoughts on Vic Blenz is he's nothing and he's also fake. Sorry guys, I'm just telling the truth. I had been locked up at that point for about eight months. He said, if you wanted to, you can escape from here.
Well, in the school in California, you have a bunch of different groups, and I gravitated towards one of the, you know, wrong groups, kind of gang-related, and started hanging out with them, and lo and behold, started ditching school. I didn't sell any drugs or anything at that point in time. I was still too young.
I was still, you know, doing the right thing, but still getting into mischief, shoplifting from the store, from Target, you know, taking Walkmans, ditching school. We ended up ditching school one day, ended up going to some girl's house that we used to ditch to. She wasn't there. And one of my buddies stole a carton of cigarettes out of her freezer.
One of the other buddies stole a jewelry item out of her house. And yeah, which was kind of messed up. And so all of a sudden I'm sitting at home one night and the police come to my dad, mom's house, to my actual home. And I'm like, oh my gosh, the police are here.
Like I'm wondering- How old were you?
I was 14 years old. Okay. And so I'm just wondering, I'm like, oh my God, the police, my dad's really strict. You gotta, you gotta think about that. And so the police get there to the house. They knock on the door. My dad gets up, goes and answers the door and starts talking to him. And I don't really hear the conversation.
And then my dad tells me to go ahead and go ahead and get up, you know, get your ass up here. And I got up and, and that's when they said, we're going to be taking you to juvenile hall. And, and I was like, oh, wow. So I went to juvenile hall and And, uh, got to juvenile hall. The other two guys, uh, I won't mention their name. The other two individuals, uh, that were friends of mine.
Uh, they were also, when I got into the juvenile hall, I showed up to the juvenile hall and I'm like, Oh, there's those two dudes. They were both there as well. And so I was like, Oh, wow. We're all three in juvenile hall. Well, lo and behold, this is the first time I'd ever been in jail, juvenile hall or anything. So all of a sudden they put me in like these shoes that have Velcro straps on them.
And I'm like, oh my God. Well, then the other two guys were in another holding tank and they weren't getting shoes on. Lo and behold, little did I know their parents were picking them up. And so their parents picked him up. My dad elected to not pick me up. He was real strict. It was the point where if you went, you're gone. Right. And so he allowed me to stay. I ended up staying in Juvenile Hall.
