- 1:03Speaker 1: started with the podcast. The thing I'm gonna talk about
- 1:09Speaker 1: something that happened in the part is a couple of incidents.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Is it was? It was? Yeah, it was. It was
- 1:18Speaker 1: pretty damn funny. I'm gotten on a roller. I laughed
- 1:21Speaker 1: my ass off at what was going on, you know.
- 1:25Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is, you know, I've been doing
- 1:28Speaker 1: the Red Onion Random podcast for six years now, and
- 1:33Speaker 1: except for last year, for the most part, I do
- 1:36Speaker 1: every I do everything I can to get an episode
- 1:38Speaker 1: out once a week. After six years, it's you know,
- 1:44Speaker 1: sometimes it can be tough to come up with ideas,
- 1:49Speaker 1: you know, to talk about, you know, to try to
- 1:52Speaker 1: entertain or educate, or just you simply speak on and
- 1:57Speaker 1: give my two cents worth. You know, it can be difficult.
- 2:01Speaker 1: So this morning talking to my editor and we was
- 2:09Speaker 1: scratching our heads and trying to come up with an idea,
- 2:11Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, we pretty much
- 2:15Speaker 1: wasted an entirephone call. I'm gonna go back into sell
- 2:17Speaker 1: and I wanna pray, and I did. I asked God,
- 2:23Speaker 1: would look I need something like, give me something here. Now,
- 2:26Speaker 1: I'm not saying God calls this incident just because you know,
- 2:30Speaker 1: he does not call strife. I won't disrespect him in
- 2:33Speaker 1: such a manner, but he definitely answered my prayers by
- 2:38Speaker 1: allowing me to witness some things. So, uh, here it is,
- 2:43Speaker 1: and Lord, thanks, I needed to help. Oh, by the way, people,
- 2:47Speaker 1: if y'all have some ideas, like by all means right in,
- 2:53Speaker 1: call in leave him because we could use some help. Thanks.
- 3:00Speaker 1: So this morning I woke up a little bit after
- 3:07Speaker 1: four o'clock and I've had I guess you classified as
- 3:12Speaker 1: a nightmare, you know, like I wasn't being chased by
- 3:14Speaker 1: an axe murderer or anything like that. It's you know,
- 3:18Speaker 1: my wife is coming to visit me, not this weekend
- 3:22Speaker 1: but next weekend. So by the communist if EDIT didn't
- 3:25Speaker 1: put up, it would probably be after the fact that
- 3:27Speaker 1: I've already visited with him, and we've been dealing with
- 3:32Speaker 1: a lot of stress over it getting it approved. It
- 3:35Speaker 1: was approved, and she tried to log into the system
- 3:38Speaker 1: and the system said she wasn't approved, and we had
- 3:41Speaker 1: to get the wardens involved. We had to get a
- 3:43Speaker 1: gardener and people in Richmond and back and forth, and
- 3:48Speaker 1: we got that. So I guess maybe this was just
- 3:51Speaker 1: you know, the stress of it. But anyway, I'm going
- 3:54Speaker 1: to tell the story. So I was in prison, but
- 4:00Speaker 1: instead of being in the actually like the normal visitation room,
- 4:03Speaker 1: I was in the library for some reason, and my
- 4:08Speaker 1: wife came to see me, and strangely enough, our dog's girlfriend, Lola,
- 4:17Speaker 1: who is a pug up little thing adorable as she
- 4:20Speaker 1: can be, somehow turned into my daughter. And when the
- 4:27Speaker 1: CEOs came in you know, while we was visiting and talking,
- 4:31Speaker 1: they had a bunch of new pictures and come to
- 4:33Speaker 1: find out they had forced them to strip and take
- 4:38Speaker 1: pictures of themselves, and uh, you know, otherwise they wasn't
- 4:43Speaker 1: want to be able to come visit me, and they
- 4:44Speaker 1: really wanted to see me, so they you know, I'm
- 4:49Speaker 1: still kissed about this dreamed by the way. Uh. And
- 4:57Speaker 1: so the CEOs brought the pictures in and and tried
- 5:00Speaker 1: to blackmail you know, my wife and me, and you know,
- 5:04Speaker 1: to my wife sending them all of her money. And
- 5:08Speaker 1: if I wanted the library job, you know, I had
- 5:11Speaker 1: to go along with it and not say anything, you know.
- 5:14Speaker 1: And of course I think, you know, those who listened
- 5:18Speaker 1: to me long enough know that that's not something I'm
- 5:21Speaker 1: going to stand for it. As soon as I stand up,
- 5:27Speaker 1: I wake up. It's four in the morning, and I mean,
- 5:31Speaker 1: I'm too pissed to go back to sleep. So I
- 5:34Speaker 1: get up and I just kind of, you know, and
- 5:38Speaker 1: I fixed me a cup of coffee. I drank my coffee,
- 5:41Speaker 1: and you know, I sit up on the bed and
- 5:43Speaker 1: just lean up against the wall, and you know, I pray,
- 5:46Speaker 1: and you know, I talk to God of the morning
- 5:49Speaker 1: prayers I talk about they train and everything, and you know,
- 5:53Speaker 1: I had to actually come out at six o'clock because
- 5:58Speaker 1: I had to call my wife early because she was
- 6:01Speaker 1: going to be working late and I couldn't call her
- 6:03Speaker 1: at my normal time. And you know, I told her
- 6:07Speaker 1: about the dream of coarsing. You know, she was you know,
- 6:12Speaker 1: she thought it was kind of funny, to be honest,
- 6:14Speaker 1: and it's like, well, Fannie, I promise I won't take
- 6:17Speaker 1: new pictures, you know, to come in and actually see.
- 6:20Speaker 1: But while I was on the phone with her, Oh wow,
- 6:24Speaker 1: this was funny right here, let me carry you. This
- 6:26Speaker 1: was funny. So you had this one guy and I'm
- 6:30Speaker 1: not actually going to say their names simply because I'm
- 6:36Speaker 1: not going to say their names. I don't snitch, even
- 6:38Speaker 1: by accident. So you had one guy come out and
- 6:42Speaker 1: he sits in this other guy's spot, you know, And
- 6:45Speaker 1: this one guy fits in this spot all the time
- 6:50Speaker 1: like that's his spot. You know, everybody knows that's his spot,
- 6:55Speaker 1: you know. And the one guy just didn't want to move,
- 6:58Speaker 1: so they got to argue. Name buck sat while I
- 7:01Speaker 1: want the phone with my wife, you know, and the
- 7:03Speaker 1: one guy's gonna stand up bite me, fite me, and
- 7:06Speaker 1: like this dude literally let somebody stab him in the
- 7:10Speaker 1: face with a ball point fixed ten blue. Almost stabbed
- 7:17Speaker 1: him in the eye, got him right on the bone.
- 7:19Speaker 1: If it were to slid to the inside, like he
- 7:22Speaker 1: would have lost his eye until he might have died
- 7:25Speaker 1: depending on how deep it would have went. But it
- 7:27Speaker 1: slid to the outside, and it just they poked a
- 7:30Speaker 1: pretty decent little hole in him, and he did nothing.
- 7:34Speaker 1: He got up, he walked around almost filling bubble pilling.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Literally did nothing. Two weeks later, they're actually friends again.
- 7:42Speaker 1: They talk, they sit at the table, they eat like
- 7:46Speaker 1: it's so like, you know, this guy's actually challenging this
- 7:51Speaker 1: other guy to get up and fight him and calling
- 7:54Speaker 1: him a bitch. You know, like that's where you draw along, bro,
- 8:00Speaker 1: like stamping you in the face, you're cool with sitting
- 8:04Speaker 1: in your seat. That gets more, you know. I'm telling
- 8:09Speaker 1: my wife about it. She's laughing over this. You know.
- 8:12Speaker 1: So the one guy's like, man, you know what, and
- 8:15Speaker 1: he just screams and he walks up. I mean he
- 8:17Speaker 1: don't walk. He actually stomps up like a child, goes
- 8:22Speaker 1: to the booth like man, open sell such and such
- 8:24Speaker 1: and let me back in the cell. So he goes
- 8:27Speaker 1: to go back in the cell. As soon as he
- 8:29Speaker 1: steps foot, the other guy jumps up out the chair
- 8:32Speaker 1: or it's you know, it's a stool at the table,
- 8:35Speaker 1: and he runs over and I mean he just pulls
- 8:38Speaker 1: both hands to his chest and just gets right up
- 8:41Speaker 1: on him and pushes the dude in the back. And
- 8:44Speaker 1: dude goes flying into the cell, hits the bunk, falls
- 8:47Speaker 1: into the floor, and the other guy walks up, you know,
- 8:51Speaker 1: sits at the front table and everything, and he's just
- 8:53Speaker 1: sitting there, starts working on a puzzle like nothing happened.
- 8:57Speaker 1: And the other guy comes running out and he's just
- 8:59Speaker 1: staring daggers at him, and he sits at the table
- 9:04Speaker 1: and I'm sitting here talking to my wife, and the
- 9:06Speaker 1: whole time he's just he's just glaring at the back
- 9:10Speaker 1: of this guy's head like and he's like, no, come on, brother,
- 9:15Speaker 1: and he runs around. He's from out of state. He's
- 9:19Speaker 1: on interstate compact because he killed the wife of an
- 9:23Speaker 1: Arian Brotherhood member in the graveyard in Indiana, and for
- 9:28Speaker 1: his own protection, Indiana sent him a sent him out
- 9:32Speaker 1: of state. So you know, every brotherhood can't actually kill
- 9:35Speaker 1: him for that, you know, And he talks about he's
- 9:38Speaker 1: a real convict. He talks about he got sent out
- 9:41Speaker 1: here for two knives, like I've cut two people's throats
- 9:45Speaker 1: in prison, I've fought the CEOs, I've done all of
- 9:48Speaker 1: this crazy ass stuff to have the paperwork to prove it,
- 9:51Speaker 1: and I've never once got sent out of state for it.
- 9:54Speaker 1: And I was actually trying to get sent out of
- 9:55Speaker 1: state and they would not take me. But yet you
- 9:58Speaker 1: somehow got kicked got a state for two knobs that
- 10:02Speaker 1: you did not use. Sure come up with a better lot,
- 10:06Speaker 1: so you know, I get off the phone with my
- 10:11Speaker 1: wife because nothing else is gonna happen, and I go
- 10:14Speaker 1: on back in the cell and I chill for a while,
- 10:16Speaker 1: clean up, make my bed, you know, all that stuff
- 10:20Speaker 1: actually lay down, get me about a thirty minute and
- 10:22Speaker 1: that which I needed, and I come out. I don't
- 10:27Speaker 1: even remember. I think maybe around eleven ish, give or take.
- 10:32Speaker 1: And I'm sitting at the table with a couple of
- 10:35Speaker 1: other guys. Now, while I was in the cell, somebody
- 10:40Speaker 1: had finished a puzzle and a piece was missing, so
- 10:43Speaker 1: somebody picked it up, took it to the trash can
- 10:46Speaker 1: and dumped it and apparently they decided what to help.
- 10:51Speaker 1: I want to throw the chessboard and the chess pieces
- 10:53Speaker 1: in the damn trash too. The game Man comes back
- 10:58Speaker 1: in right before lunch when me and you know a
- 11:03Speaker 1: couple of guys are sitting at the table and we're
- 11:05Speaker 1: talking and whatnot. And the one guy at the table
- 11:08Speaker 1: with me had all of his artwork and drawing stuff
- 11:12Speaker 1: and he's he can drawl like he's he's a beast.
- 11:15Speaker 1: He's actually doing stuff for dark Horse Comics, and you know,
- 11:20Speaker 1: had all that stuff sitting back and si dude had
- 11:23Speaker 1: thrown the puzzle pieces in the trash. He got up
- 11:26Speaker 1: and he got that box because he, you know, he
- 11:28Speaker 1: needed the new box. Just one of his boxes is
- 11:30Speaker 1: getting old, and he's, you know, he's got all of
- 11:32Speaker 1: his pens and artwork in it, throes sold box away
- 11:34Speaker 1: and everything. So somebody pulls up on the game Man
- 11:39Speaker 1: and tells him, hey, look man, somebody threw your stuff
- 11:41Speaker 1: in the trash. So dude goes over there and he's
- 11:44Speaker 1: digging through it. He starts screaming blah blah blah blah
- 11:47Speaker 1: blah and all that stuff, and so we're just sitting
- 11:50Speaker 1: there talking him. He literally goes through the trash and
- 11:54Speaker 1: digs out every single piece for one thousand piece Paul,
- 12:00Speaker 1: for a total of nine hundred and ninety nine pieces
- 12:03Speaker 1: out of the trash. Can you know and that first
- 12:08Speaker 1: of all, that didn't make no damn sense to me anyway,
- 12:11Speaker 1: that nobody's gonna use that puzzle again. You know, I
- 12:14Speaker 1: can understand digging the chest pieces out there plastic. You
- 12:17Speaker 1: can wash them with soaping water and you know, put
- 12:20Speaker 1: him back out and keep it moving. So he's like,
- 12:23Speaker 1: he just yells like, man, I need the damn puzzle
- 12:26Speaker 1: box back. So the same dude that got pushed in
- 12:30Speaker 1: the back, got stabbed in the face and done nothing.
- 12:33Speaker 1: It didn't get stamped in the face this morning. This
- 12:35Speaker 1: was months months ago. He decides he's going to get up,
- 12:43Speaker 1: walk over to the table, get the box and just
- 12:48Speaker 1: dump it all of the pens and pencils and markers
- 12:52Speaker 1: and everything else that this guy has out on the
- 12:56Speaker 1: table and you know, go give the box back the
- 13:01Speaker 1: dude's stuff it belonged to he's snake. God, what the
- 13:05Speaker 1: do you o? Touch box? Front? And he ran up
- 13:09Speaker 1: and I mean he pushed him in the chest. Dude
- 13:12Speaker 1: goes flying back almost falls down on his ass. Somebody
- 13:16Speaker 1: like puts their hand up to stop him from bumping
- 13:18Speaker 1: into him, which the only reason he didn't go ass
- 13:21Speaker 1: over Tea Kettle. You've got the CEO in the pod.
- 13:25Speaker 1: She witnesses. She just stops and looks. It's like she's
- 13:29Speaker 1: amazed that this dude is that stupid to go dump
- 13:33Speaker 1: somebody else's stuff out of a box that doesn't belong
- 13:36Speaker 1: to you and you have no skin in the game,
- 13:38Speaker 1: like it's none of your business, you know. And he's
- 13:44Speaker 1: you know, the dude told him man swinging that like
- 13:47Speaker 1: to shut him out and swing like I just pushed you, bitch,
- 13:50Speaker 1: what you want to do? They're gonna dude, kill her.
- 13:54Speaker 1: You're a killer, but you haven't done anything. And what
- 13:58Speaker 1: makes it all, what makes it even better is the
- 14:01Speaker 1: two guys that pushed this dude are Sellis. Their cell
- 14:09Speaker 1: makes they lifting the cell together. And it it happened
- 14:13Speaker 1: at two different times. The one SELLI was in the
- 14:17Speaker 1: cell when the first guy pushed him. Then the first
- 14:19Speaker 1: guy went to work and he didn't come back until
- 14:23Speaker 1: like right after his celly pushed his ass again. Well,
- 14:28Speaker 1: the CEO walks over and it's like, what the hell
- 14:32Speaker 1: is going on, what are you doing? And you know
- 14:34Speaker 1: the one who's like, man, he just look, he just
- 14:36Speaker 1: dumped all much out the box. And you know, the
- 14:39Speaker 1: one who's like, we used the puzzle box, but you
- 14:41Speaker 1: was supposed to have the puzzle box, like man, shut them.
- 14:45Speaker 1: So you know, she's like, you know what, y'all come
- 14:48Speaker 1: with me, and she took all three of them out
- 14:51Speaker 1: and they go upstairs to the unit manager in the
- 14:55Speaker 1: lieutenant's office to sit them down, and they talk and
- 14:58Speaker 1: explain it, and you know, they just look, is it dead?
- 15:03Speaker 1: And you know, they were like, yeah, it's dead. Just
- 15:05Speaker 1: don't touch my you know. And so they they all
- 15:09Speaker 1: come back down and we're getting ready to lock down
- 15:16Speaker 1: and the game man. I'm standing there with three other
- 15:20Speaker 1: people and the game man comes walking up, pokes his
- 15:24Speaker 1: head in her low circle life and y'all can't speak
- 15:27Speaker 1: to me no more, don't say hello or nothing. And
- 15:29Speaker 1: he turns to walk in, you know, to his cell.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I'm looking at him like okay, you know what. And
- 15:36Speaker 1: I wanted to say something right then and there, but
- 15:39Speaker 1: I was like, like, you know what, I'm a lockdown,
- 15:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna calm down a little bit
- 15:46Speaker 1: because I ain't no man gonna tell me who I
- 15:49Speaker 1: can and cannot talk to. You can't even tell me
- 15:52Speaker 1: I can't talk to you, because if I want to talk,
- 15:54Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk. You know it. But you know I'm okay.
- 15:59Speaker 1: You know what, deep breasts here, boy, deep breasthts. I
- 16:03Speaker 1: go back in the cell. You know, I fixed me
- 16:05Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. I cleaned my bowl out and
- 16:07Speaker 1: everything where I just eating lunch and I sit down,
- 16:13Speaker 1: I drank my coffee and I you know, I pray
- 16:15Speaker 1: and I talk to God. I'm like, look, you know what, Lord,
- 16:17Speaker 1: this is a trigger moment for me. I recognize this
- 16:20Speaker 1: like this and like this. Dude actually snitched on his
- 16:25Speaker 1: own son in court. He actually testified in his son's case,
- 16:30Speaker 1: giving his son a life sentence in prison without the
- 16:33Speaker 1: possibility of parole so he could get less time and
- 16:37Speaker 1: have a chance of going home. I have no respect
- 16:42Speaker 1: for you because as a father, you take the rap
- 16:45Speaker 1: for your son, like that's your parents' job is to
- 16:51Speaker 1: protect their children. Your damn shold don't testify and open
- 16:55Speaker 1: gord against them. And you really ain't gonna come up
- 16:59Speaker 1: and tell me I can or cannot talk to you
- 17:02Speaker 1: or anybody else, like you ain't built like that. So
- 17:06Speaker 1: I calm down, you know, I pray, and they eventually
- 17:10Speaker 1: let us out. I pull up on him. I walk
- 17:14Speaker 1: up to his door when he's coming out, and I'm like, look, brother,
- 17:19Speaker 1: let's finish this conversation. And you you started before we
- 17:23Speaker 1: lie down. You know, who are you to tell me
- 17:25Speaker 1: who I can or can I talk to? He's like, no,
- 17:28Speaker 1: I wasn't doing just br You came back and like,
- 17:31Speaker 1: don't speak to me, don't don't see hello or nothing.
- 17:34Speaker 1: He said, no, No, I wasn't talking about me. I
- 17:36Speaker 1: was talking about him, because you know, the one guy
- 17:39Speaker 1: that the guy that's been getting his ass kicked all
- 17:41Speaker 1: over the place pretty much just went up there and
- 17:44Speaker 1: he like he snitched and righted it out, you know,
- 17:47Speaker 1: the other guy and so on and so forth, and
- 17:49Speaker 1: the play bright like it's still you know, at the
- 17:53Speaker 1: end of the day, man, if I want to talk
- 17:55Speaker 1: to that dude, whether he's a bitch, a snitch or not,
- 17:59Speaker 1: like that's on me. You don't have the authority or
- 18:02Speaker 1: the power or the ass behind me to tell me
- 18:04Speaker 1: who I can or cannot speak to. No, it wasn't
- 18:08Speaker 1: like that. There's a number that's exactly what it was like,
- 18:11Speaker 1: you know, but like we're good, we're cool. You know,
- 18:16Speaker 1: you can't go you can't tell me who I can't
- 18:18Speaker 1: cannot talk to and uh you have one minute your
- 18:24Speaker 1: meaning and that it was just it was funny. I
- 18:30Speaker 1: don't know if me telling the story quite does it justice.
- 18:35Speaker 1: I wish I wish that I had body can fish.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Like I'm telling you, the Virginia Department of Corrections really
- 18:42Speaker 1: really needs to give me my own body cam. If
- 18:45Speaker 1: they do that and allow me to send it to
- 18:47Speaker 1: my editor, I will have the number one social media
