Audio Transcript

Brian Schoenborn: [00:00:00 ] Hello. Hello everybody. A guest today. He had a time where he hit rock bottom like many of us, and he has turned that around and become a huge success story. We’re gonna learn about all of that and more is coming up. We’ve got the host, creator and writer of the “No Where To Go But Up” podcast with Sean Dustin, give it up for my friend Sean Dustin,

my name is Brian Schoenborn. I’m an Explorer of people, places and culture. In my travels, spending over 20 countries across four continents, I’ve had the pleasure of engaging in authentic conversations with amazingly interesting people. These are their stories on location and unfiltered presented by 8B media.

This is half the city.

Sean Dustin: [00:00:51 ] Where are we at, man? We were riding it.

Brian Schoenborn: [00:00:54 ] Yeah. You wrapped it up right as, um, just before he went to prison.

Sean Dustin: [00:00:59 ] So like,

Brian Schoenborn: [00:01:00 ] yeah, so you were, um, so you went to jail for a couple of days, you know, brought in by the SWAT team and then you came back out and then you started, you switched from the drugs into

Sean Dustin: [00:01:10 ] fraud. Oh yeah.

That was going to kill that dude because, yeah, you’re going to kill the attack. He texted me, they showed up. It was already been planned. So what ended up happening is they, they, they stopped me, uh, throw me in the car. Uh, it was about a hundred degrees, like 110 degrees in the back of that damn car, uh, middle of summer.

And, uh, I, all I can remember is like, dude, I just want to go to sleep. I do. The weight was off of my shoulders. I don’t have to run anymore. I know I’m going to go where I’m sleeping tonight. You know? Uh, well I knew where I was sleeping most of the nights anyway. Um, but it was just, it was just a relief actually, you know, it’s like, fuck, finally I can get this shit over with and I couldn’t stay awake, man.

I couldn’t like, I was like this, I just kept falling asleep cause it was like, that’s all I wanted to do is just go to sleep. I’ve been up for like three days

Brian Schoenborn: [00:02:01 ] trying to run in the back of the cab or the back of a, or at.

Sean Dustin: [00:02:05 ] No, in the back of a cop car like this one that’s like asleep, man. They didn’t even get even, they haven’t even gotten to the end of the car to go.

And so the detective that came was the same one that had got me into the first time. Oh, sweet. Yeah,

Brian Schoenborn: [00:02:25 ] I bet he was thrilled to see you.

Sean Dustin: [00:02:27 ] Oh, he’s what? He’s like, he was waiting for it. I knew you’d show up sometime. You pop back up somewhere and uh, you know, I was like, he goes, he’s like, so you know, from what we got in your last house, he’s, I know you’ve already got a whole bunch of shit accumulated again.

So he’s like, if you. You’re already going down because we have a ride along and that shotgun’s going to be a federal offense now. Uh, so we’ll not file charges on you if you take me to your house and give me all of your shit.

Brian Schoenborn: [00:02:57 ] I ain’t kidding.

Sean Dustin: [00:02:59 ] No, I’m serious. But I

Brian Schoenborn: [00:03:00 ] mean, that sounds like a fucking trap, dude.

Sean Dustin: [00:03:03 ] No, I did it. I was like, I didn’t care. I called my ex up, I call my checkup. I said, Hey man, uh, I’m, uh, I got arrested and I’m on my way there with the police right now cause I got give them all my shit. And they didn’t really, they did, they didn’t care about the method was there, the fucking, you know, the pipes or anything.

All they wanted was my, my, uh, what I was doing. And so I gave him all the computer stuff. I gave him all of the, uh, like I had blank. You know, I, I figured out how to duplicate the, uh, the social security cards too. And like the secret service dude, cause I had him on a sheet and they had the, the, the, all the stuff that you should have all the security features and everything else.

And they didn’t, they didn’t believe me that they weren’t real and they thought that I’d stolen them from like the social security administration. Wow. Because they were in sheets. Right. And I’m like, dude, fuck it. I did that. So you want to give me a job?

Brian Schoenborn: [00:03:58 ] We got a, we got a spot for you in the mint.

Sean Dustin: [00:04:01 ] Yeah.

Right. And so, anyway, I ended up going away, uh, fought my case. Um, you know, I was supposed to get. A 12 to 15. For some reason, the judge just did not like me because I was a predator. Uh, you know, I was having these people that were strung out doing all my stuff for me, and you know, she was like, you know, you weren’t selling like you were selling dime bags in the fucking park, mr.

So I was like, all right, man, whatever. So I ended up getting a fifth. 15 to 60. And I paroled out in like eight years. Yes. 15 to 60 months. Yeah. And so I paroled out in 18 months. And then, uh, it was a, then I went to federal, um, you know, prison. I mean, it is what it is. I don’t know if you have known anybody that’s ever been to prison or,

Brian Schoenborn: [00:04:55 ] I mean, I’ve been, I’ve been to jail a couple of times.

Um, you know, I spend my 18th birthday in jail. I was in jail for a month over some stupid shit. Um, but, you know, I don’t know. I know some people that have been to prison, but, um, they haven’t. Well, one person that made it out dying a couple of years ago, but we never really reconnected after that. He was kind of a piece of shit before.

Sean Dustin: [00:05:20 ] Yeah. Yeah. It’s funny how that works.

Brian Schoenborn: [00:05:23 ] Right? Um, but he, he came out as like a Neo Nazi fucking, yeah. Like.

Sean Dustin: [00:05:30 ] Super

Brian Schoenborn: [00:05:31 ] racist piece of shit. Um, which was funny cause his best friend was Mexican. I’ve heard that works.

Sean Dustin: [00:05:41 ] And I don’t hate tacos. Right.

Brian Schoenborn: [00:05:45 ] Um, but no. So, so I don’t know a lot of people that have been to prison.
