Locked In with Ian Bick

Brandon Hantz, a former Bandido who is now "out bad," joins us to share his story of life inside one of the most well-known 1% outlaw motorcycle clubs. With very few interviews featuring former members of the Bandidos, Brandon offers a rare glimpse into the rules, structure, and challenges that come with the patch. From the strict brotherhood to the realities of leaving the club, he discusses the reasons behind his exit, the challenges of being "out bad," and the impact it has had on his life. This episode provides a unique look into the world of outlaw motorcycle clubs and what it means to live by the 1% lifestyle.
