The fact that Peewee in his 60’s can remember all this stuff is amazing. In my 30’s I can’t even remember that much in my childhood

When I hear ads interrupting a show I make a note to not buy that product. Ever

This might be the best interview I’ve ever seen in my life. Well done.

This is the greatest episode I've seen of Locked In. What a genuine human being, with integrity and amazing storytelling skills. I was intrigued the entire time and rewatched parts of it too. I grew up near Tomahawk, WI (where they had Harley rallys every year and would have to separate the Outlaws and HAs) and I've been intrigued with MCs since I was young. I can't wait to read his book.

That whole part about the old timer dying of cancer and being brothers brought a tear to my eye. Mad respect for Pee Wee for always standing up. Best interview ive ever watched. I'd love to be able to sit and talk and drink coffee and listen to his stories.

Much respect Peewee from an old vet who is still riding at 74!

That man is straight up the definition of solid. Not many old school bikers left on this planet that are still in an MC. Glad to see he is still living life on his own terms. Hats off to you Pee Wee. Cheersssss

@Ricostreetpryo 1 year ago

Great interview. Your one of the few interviewers who dosent interrupt every minute. Keep the good work

Worked alongside this guy for a few years *POST HA YEARS* - we didn’t interact much other than being introduced then being filled in later about who he is/was. Solid man, no nonsense but approachable. Calm confidence, low key sense of humor. Very cool to hear his story!
