We got a real juicy interview here.

I am talking to Joe Loyah, who was a real life bank robber, who did time for his crime and is also consulted on many movies

about bank robberies. And I am just so curious to hear your life stories. Thanks for coming on

and spilling all the juice. Thanks for having me here, Heather. So let's start from the beginning.

What was your childhood like that got you to a place that you were going to participate in an actual bank robbery to start?

Okay, so I didn't think that my childhood was going to get me to bankruptcy, but I think that it got me to

was to transgression, and then transgression became eventually bankrupt. So I'll explain what I mean by that.

So my parents were 16 years old when I was born. They were little Mexican kids out of East L.A.

They were converts to Protestant

Christianity. Most of people around us were all Catholics, which is a big deal because my dad thought,

okay, I want to be, I want to know more about this Bible. I want to know more about God. And we started

going to this very big church. It was an early megachurch in downtown Los Angeles.

My dad wanted to be a minister. He had been a little gang kid, converted, and it was lovely.

I was raised in a love story. These kids had loved each other since they were 12, got married to 16, dropped

out of school, and started a family. My dad worked very hard. Things were going good. Because he was such an earnest guy at 18,

he started teaching himself Greek and Hebrew. So I was raised around a lot of books. I was raised around

somebody who I saw a father who was very intelligent. And so he's this oddball. He drops out of high school,

but he starts teaching up Greek and Hebrew.

He starts going to night school, gets his degrees. And now I'm kind of in a learned home. And because he is this kid in this church, they start sending us, you know, to private college, private elementary schools. So I'm getting this great education. And my family is in love. My dad and mother love each other very dearly. It's a great religious upbringing, family, hot luck,

everything you can think of. And I love Jesus as much as anybody. And then I'm thinking as a little

boy, I want to be like my dad. I think I want to be a preacher.

Like my dad wants to be a preacher.
