Vlad,is good.

Vlad is straight winning. Half a million views on every Freeway Ricky interview. KZread is probably giving a grand per video for that much traffic. Crazy

On reading I went through a similar thing...In 1st grade we were being taught to read and I thought it was stupid. "See Jane run." No one talks like that. Certainly no one even tried to explain why reading was useful. So I just faked it. When called on to read aloud I looked at the pictures in the book and used what I'd heard other kids read and I made up a story. The teacher didn't say anything and none of the other kids said anything. I still don't know why no one called me out on it. The teacher OK I can see it, but why wouldn't another kid speak up? I assume no one in the class was actually following along. Maybe none of us knew how to read? Several months later my parents bought me a book about animals for my birthday, it was an adult level book. I was interested in animals so I then understood the reason to learn how to read.

i like how he answred vlad bout starting up a drug business. give the most basic answer

I applaud this dude.

The San Diego freeway off ramp scary too.

VLADTV: “a black kid in a poor neighbourhood, the first successful business person they see is a drug dealer” Rick: “absolutely” A lot of these drug dealers would actually make great upstanding citizens owning a normal business if given the opportunity
