I’ve cut down on my podcast listening last few weeks…… But yous two OG’s got me amped the fuck up! Fuck everyone, #40HPW foe life son!!!!
I refuse to wear a suit for anything other except a wedding or a funeral! Suits are for queer shitcoiners! Real men wear work wear, hunting gear and work out clothes!
Fuck Joe Rogan!!!! 🖕🖕🖕
It’s much more productive to to be in the gym in shorts working out than to buy a suit & tie… just saying 🫡🍄💪
Loved this fucking rant!!!! Bouyaka Bouyaka Bouyaka!!!! 🫡🍄💪

Jon the song you were singing about opposites attract was super gay
V4V #40HPW
Leave my man Jordan alone he’s a fucking hustler.
I’m absolutely appalled by the fact that yous twos didn’t know that B.I.B.L.E. was a Gza song from the Wu-Tang Clan motherfuckers!
Yo Jon why you talking shit on Jersey Italians my man?!?? I purposely mispronounce my own name b acuse I can!

Maybe I’ll make it out to pubkey someday. Most of my free time is spent smoking blunts and working out. Last time I was in Brooklyn I was chasing a mother fucker around a Construction site with a shovel trying to kill him. That’s when I decided fuck NYC it was right before Covid which the communist like rules just sealed the deal for me to never cross the GW bridge ever again. I said I would never go to NYC ever again, not even for a wedding or a funeral and so far I’ve held to my word.
Btw I loved the 1 hour hard stop! Being that I listen on 2.0 speed I only had to wear my AirPods for 1/2 an hour this morning. Namaste 🙏
I’m an American and I’m spiritual and badass! You Brits are just whiny cunts! Just kidding Max. Your kind of badass too, the way you talk about kicking men in the balls. 🤣 🇺🇸🟰🥇🇬🇧🟰💩
16 hour drive is dedication! Only a badass American would do that! 🇺🇸🟰🥇🏴🟰💩

Loved the outro song! 🤘
New Jersey is the only Jersey that matters! Fuck that faggy British island! We survive on land of toxic sewage, way harder than those cunty Brit’s!
I would be honored to have myself and a few of my goons run security for yous twos! I can spot a trouble maker from a mile away! Bro I used to move hella coke at strips clubs back in the day! That was my bread and butter! I paid the price for my crimes, when I did my prison bid from getting popped at one! I even was given an apartment above one by the owner so I could have threesomes with strippers because I was the house dealer there! I been waiting for an opportunity to quite my Union gig! Don’t be playing with my emotions! My only request is that I can hire my best childhood friend when he gets out of prison in 2 or 3 years and that I’m paid in Bitcoin! LFG!!!!!
A lot of good old school Italian spots in NJ/NY closed their doors since the lockdowns. But I would love to smoke a blunt and hit some good food spots in the Dirty Jersey with yous 2 cunts! An American bad ass and an English hooligan fine dinning with psycho Jersey kid, throw a few beers and blunts in the mix and what could possibly go wrong?! 🤣
Good morning you wild mother fucking Ungovernable Misfits! LFG!!!!! 🍻🍄💪🇺🇸🟰🥇🏴🟰💩

It’s pronounced like pies 🥧. But I never correct anyone because I got hella love for all my V4V podcast peeps and don’t get offended by mispronunciations. Thank you for asking though.🍻🍄💪
Spark one up! 🍄🍄🍄💪💪💪
I guarantee the lack of value split for confab came directly from our cunty British friend Max. Love that British mofo, but Jon and Jordan are too American/Canadian badass to pull a move like that. I’m just saying 🤷♂️ 🤣

If your homie was working in the kitchen chow hall was where the paraphernalia of fresh veggies and spieces would be smuggled back to the block to make “chew chee’s” or “mixups”
Yard and “mainline” or “chow hall” was when a lot of stabbing would go down in my prison. You had to be on your A game ready for war at all times! 🫡🍳🥩🍄💪
This letter is giving me PTSD and anxiety thinking about the horrific toxic sludge I was served back in the day in prison. Fuck that never again! 💪💪💪🫡🍳🥩🍄💪
