- 1:45Speaker 2: Hope to hear from me. This is part three of
- 2:24Speaker 2: the Chaos episode. Hopefully I can finish up in this episode.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I don't think y'all want to listen to a part
- 2:30Speaker 2: four of this. Now, I left off where I'd made
- 2:38Speaker 2: the decision into chow Hall, even though I had previously like,
- 2:44Speaker 2: you know what, I'm just gonna go ahead and fight
- 2:46Speaker 2: and get it over with. You know, I need to
- 2:47Speaker 2: give some stuff off my chest, you know, I need
- 2:49Speaker 2: to go ahead and remind dudes of who the hell
- 2:52Speaker 2: I am, you know, of what I'm capable of. But
- 2:57Speaker 2: when I got over there, you know, I had to
- 2:59Speaker 2: change are. I realized how much I would really lose
- 3:05Speaker 2: if I do this.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Now.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Granted there was gonna be no weapon involved. You know,
- 3:11Speaker 2: I wasn't thinking about stabbing, and that never even crossed
- 3:13Speaker 2: my mind. Beating his ass absolutely, but I didn't do it,
- 3:21Speaker 2: you know, and sing, and thankfully I didn't. You know,
- 3:24Speaker 2: I think the fact that I did call my buddy John,
- 3:27Speaker 2: and you know, he prayed for me and everything that
- 3:30Speaker 2: I think that helped me. And to be honest, I
- 3:32Speaker 2: think even after the phone call, I think he you know,
- 3:37Speaker 2: he was, he probably prayed some more, you know, at
- 3:42Speaker 2: least off and on which I'm grateful for. You know.
- 3:49Speaker 2: But the next day I actually see Chaos. I was
- 3:53Speaker 2: walking back from medical and he was on the reck yard.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Him and his pard were headed towards Chowdhaw for launch,
- 4:01Speaker 2: and he called me. I'm like, yo, bro, look man,
- 4:03Speaker 2: what the is going on with you? Man? Like, what
- 4:05Speaker 2: the hell are you doing? He's like, no, no, man, dude,
- 4:07Speaker 2: you don't want man like And that's when he explained
- 4:10Speaker 2: to me the situation of he had to send his
- 4:13Speaker 2: tablet to be to Be three. So you know, we
- 4:18Speaker 2: had a talk. I'm like, look, man, and he actually
- 4:21Speaker 2: got mad at me because Cupcake wind up cussing him
- 4:25Speaker 2: out for what he did. And you know, they kind
- 4:29Speaker 2: of got back and forth from Cupcakes like, you know what,
- 4:32Speaker 2: screw you. You ain't the dude you portray yourself to be.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And she cut him off and changed her phone number.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Now that's between them. I got nothing to do with that.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Now.
- 4:45Speaker 2: You know Cupcake, well, she can be a hell cake
- 4:48Speaker 2: from time to time. Now we're sitting there talking and
- 4:55Speaker 2: he gets mad at me. I'm like, man, dude, why
- 4:56Speaker 2: you got Cupcake cussing me out? Blah blah. I'm like, bro,
- 4:59Speaker 2: that guy, get her to cut you out. This is
- 5:02Speaker 2: what I told her to tell you, whether you did
- 5:04Speaker 2: it on purpose, whether it was an accident, or whether
- 5:07Speaker 2: someone throw the information from you. I don't care, man,
- 5:10Speaker 2: it's your problem. Clean it up and fix it because
- 5:12Speaker 2: you're causing problems between me and my woman. So he like,
- 5:17Speaker 2: knobra or not? This is this and that, man, And
- 5:18Speaker 2: I'm like, look, man, either way, bro, like, I'm putting
- 5:23Speaker 2: you on the wall. When we run across each other.
- 5:27Speaker 2: He said, man, person, you wrong for doubting me. Man like,
- 5:30Speaker 2: how could you doubt me? And I'm like, I'm not
- 5:32Speaker 2: doubting you. I'm just saying, clean up your fucking mess.
- 5:36Speaker 2: And that's what he doesn't understand. He's trying to play
- 5:39Speaker 2: the martyr victim. Okay, I understand you didn't do this
- 5:42Speaker 2: on purpose. I get that. I respect that. It doesn't
- 5:48Speaker 2: matter whether you did it on purpose or not. It's
- 5:50Speaker 2: your mess. You clean it up. So you know, we
- 5:56Speaker 2: went back and for we were through the fence. Otherwise
- 5:58Speaker 2: we probably would have done it right then and there.
- 6:03Speaker 2: I love this boy and he loves me. We're still
- 6:07Speaker 2: we're still bros. We're still friends. That ain't ever gonna change,
- 6:11Speaker 2: you know. But if we want to cross each other again,
- 6:14Speaker 2: before I give this time back and go home, I'm
- 6:16Speaker 2: gonna stand him up to on the wall, and I'm
- 6:18Speaker 2: gonna punch him in the chest as hard as I can,
- 6:22Speaker 2: and then we're gonna hug it out, and we're gonna
- 6:25Speaker 2: go grab some food and we're gonna cook together, and
- 6:28Speaker 2: we're gonna sit down break bread together, and we're gonna
- 6:31Speaker 2: talk and laughing joke, and this situation is gonna be
- 6:33Speaker 2: behind us. But he doesn't want to accept the fact
- 6:38Speaker 2: that he was in the wrong, and he's in the
- 6:41Speaker 2: wrong by putting his information in a place where somebody
- 6:46Speaker 2: else has access to it. If you don't want somebody
- 6:52Speaker 2: getting access to it, you delete that email off of
- 6:56Speaker 2: your player, especially if you're gonna let if I let
- 6:59Speaker 2: somebody use my player, which I do not. I'm going
- 7:04Speaker 2: to go through all of my emails and any address,
- 7:08Speaker 2: any phone number, any email address. I don't care, any
- 7:11Speaker 2: contact information whatsoever. I'm going to write it down in
- 7:15Speaker 2: a separate place, and I'm going to delete those emails.
- 7:18Speaker 2: I don't care if they've got pictures attached to them
- 7:21Speaker 2: or not. That email is getting deleted because I'm not
- 7:25Speaker 2: going to let someone have an opportunity to reach out
- 7:29Speaker 2: to you. I won't disrespect you like that. Hell, I
- 7:33Speaker 2: won't disrespect myself like that, but he refuses to accept that.
- 7:39Speaker 2: So it is what it is now. Eventually, Carly, like
- 7:49Speaker 2: I said previously, she found out exactly who this guy
- 7:52Speaker 2: is now. The guy who's asked I was planning on
- 7:56Speaker 2: beating Cracker into chow hall actually had nothing to do
- 8:01Speaker 2: with this whatsoever. He would have been completely innocent. And
- 8:07Speaker 2: that's why I'm so grateful to God that he saved
- 8:10Speaker 2: me from myself. Now, look, people, you have to understand. Yes,
- 8:15Speaker 2: I'm a Christian. Yes I believe in God. I do
- 8:19Speaker 2: my best to live according to what the Bible says
- 8:22Speaker 2: and teaches. I'm not perfect. I don't pretend to be perfect,
- 8:31Speaker 2: but I do the best I can. Sometimes I get
- 8:35Speaker 2: it right, sometimes I get it wrong. But I also
- 8:40Speaker 2: live in prison. I live in an environment that the
- 8:46Speaker 2: overwhelming majority of you you're never going to understand or
- 8:51Speaker 2: comprehend it because you've never lived in here. You've never
- 8:55Speaker 2: been in here. Even the staff members that work in
- 9:00Speaker 2: prison for years and years and years don't get it.
- 9:03Speaker 2: They don't understand what it's like to be a prisoner.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I can intellectually comprehend the pain from a childbirth, but
- 9:18Speaker 2: unless I grow a pussy and I pop a child out,
- 9:22Speaker 2: I ain't gonna understand it. I might comprehend it, but
- 9:25Speaker 2: I will never understand it. And the same goes for you.
- 9:28Speaker 2: You don't understand what it's like to live in here.
- 9:32Speaker 2: You cannot allow things like this to slide. And I'm
- 9:40Speaker 2: torn between two worlds. And and so I get out
- 9:44Speaker 2: of prison, I'm gonna constantly be torn between two different
- 9:48Speaker 2: worlds of living, living the way God wants me to live,
- 9:53Speaker 2: or live in the way a convict should live in prison.
- 9:58Speaker 2: And there they're polar opposites of one another. You know,
- 10:06Speaker 2: it's a heaven or hell type of situation. And that's
- 10:11Speaker 2: what I struggle. I struggle between these two, these two
- 10:24Speaker 2: dynamics in my life.
- 10:27Speaker 4: And sometimes it's even though I've overcome a lot, even
- 10:31Speaker 4: though I've crown a lot, it's still.
- 10:38Speaker 2: A fight sometimes of what's right. Because this is the
- 10:44Speaker 2: thing in both situations. I'm right if I beat this
- 10:48Speaker 2: dude's ass, and I've punished this cat from a convict standpoint,
- 10:56Speaker 2: from a prison standpoint, I'm in the right, and everyone
- 11:00Speaker 2: in here respects me for that because I did what
- 11:04Speaker 2: a man is supposed to do. He protects his loved ones,
- 11:07Speaker 2: and he sends a message, don't mess with them. But
- 11:14Speaker 2: if I let it go, I forgive this guy. I
- 11:20Speaker 2: don't do what my base or instincts are screaming.
- 11:24Speaker 4: At me to do.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And I do what I did. I let it go.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Me and my wife had we had to get some
- 11:33Speaker 2: help from Michael too, my tech guy, my new editor.
- 11:38Speaker 2: You know, he helped Nick, you know, get a new
- 11:40Speaker 2: phone number and you know, delete the old one and
- 11:43Speaker 2: all that stuff so that you know, this guy can
- 11:45Speaker 2: no longer call like I did, you know, according to
- 11:49Speaker 2: God and according to society and you know, civilization and
- 11:54Speaker 2: just being you know, a decent human being. I did
- 11:56Speaker 2: the right thing. I let it go, you know, and
- 11:59Speaker 2: me and me and and you know Nick, we put
- 12:01Speaker 2: it behind us and we move forward. And sometimes that's
- 12:08Speaker 2: it's a hard choice to make, you know, I'm at
- 12:14Speaker 2: that point in my life. I don't give a damn
- 12:16Speaker 2: what anybody thinks of me, you know, beyond the people
- 12:20Speaker 2: I love and care about. I care what Nick thinks.
- 12:23Speaker 2: I care what you know, Michael and Michael think. I
- 12:26Speaker 2: carry what Paulie thinks. I care what Anti thinks, I
- 12:29Speaker 2: care what Sinclair thinks. I care what John thinks. And Josh,
- 12:33Speaker 2: you know, Giovanna and Ava like you know, Rahie.
- 12:39Speaker 4: I have so many friends now that.
- 12:43Speaker 2: I do care about what they think, but there's still
- 12:55Speaker 2: that part of me. It would be so easy to
- 13:00Speaker 2: go back. And that's and that's I've realized. I still
- 13:08Speaker 2: have a lot more to still. I still have a
- 13:12Speaker 2: long road to hit up it. I still have a
- 13:14Speaker 2: lot of growing to do. I still have a lot
- 13:16Speaker 2: of self control to master. And I'm going to do
- 13:22Speaker 2: it because I made my choice. I've chosen God and
- 13:27Speaker 2: the things of God. I've chosen to do things in
- 13:30Speaker 2: a different way. Now that doesn't mean help. I might
- 13:32Speaker 2: get into a fight five minutes from now. I'm not
- 13:34Speaker 2: saying I won't. I'm just saying I won't start it,
- 13:41Speaker 2: and I'll do my best to avoid it. And that's
- 13:46Speaker 2: why I'm telling you all this story, even though it
- 13:50Speaker 2: doesn't exactly you know, paint me in the best light.
- 13:57Speaker 2: H We all get called up in things that are
- 14:03Speaker 2: not of our making. Are we going to react or
- 14:10Speaker 2: are we going to respond? And in that situation, for
- 14:16Speaker 2: that moment, in my head, in my in my emotions,
- 14:23Speaker 2: I was I was reacting. I was acting like a child.
- 14:30Speaker 2: I wasn't the one being disrespected. It was Nick. But
- 14:34Speaker 2: I made it about me. That's why I was going
- 14:39Speaker 2: to go over there and beat that boy's ass. How
- 14:41Speaker 2: dare he do this to me? How dare he try
- 14:45Speaker 2: to take something from me? I wasn't thinking about Nick
- 14:48Speaker 2: in that situation, and ultimately that is what made me
- 15:00Speaker 2: change my mind when I was sitting there in the childhall,
- 15:03Speaker 2: at that table. M hm.
- 15:09Speaker 1: H m hm.
- 15:15Speaker 2: H m hm.
- 15:26Speaker 1: H m hmmm h.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Now I haven't had a chance to speak to Chaos
- 15:54Speaker 2: since then, you know, since that day on the yard,
- 15:56Speaker 2: wouldn't talk through the fence. I will eventually, But this
- 16:04Speaker 2: is the thing about Chaos. He's no longer here a
- 16:07Speaker 2: keen mountain. He got sent back to Wallace rich because,
- 16:12Speaker 2: and I understand he was trying to impress Carly, and
- 16:16Speaker 2: I can't blame the boy, you know, he was He
- 16:20Speaker 2: wrote some dumb stuff in the email. On top of that,
- 16:24Speaker 2: he got snitched on by some of the Bloods in
- 16:27Speaker 2: B three because when he found out who pickles real
- 16:30Speaker 2: identity was, he tried to get over there to be three.
- 16:39Speaker 2: He was in the process of setting it up when
- 16:41Speaker 2: a bunch of the other Bloods found out because of
- 16:44Speaker 2: the Bloods in before they knew what time it was,
- 16:48Speaker 2: and they sent word over there to tell this dude
- 16:51Speaker 2: Pickles to stay in the cell. Like he couldn't come
- 16:54Speaker 2: out to sell to Chow, he couldn't go to breakfast, lunch,
- 16:56Speaker 2: at dinner, he had to stay in his cell and
- 16:58Speaker 2: eat because Chaos was he was hunting for the boy.
- 17:04Speaker 2: So the Bloods actually came him like, yo, look dude,
- 17:11Speaker 2: we understand what happened. We're gonna take care of it
- 17:15Speaker 2: in house, meaning they was gonna beat his ass, which
- 17:19Speaker 2: as far as I know, they never actually did. They
- 17:21Speaker 2: just lied, but they wound up paying Chaos off and
- 17:26Speaker 2: Chaos accepted their money. He accepted what they offered and
- 17:30Speaker 2: gave him, and you know, he did what he did
- 17:32Speaker 2: with it, and he was still going to go. But
- 17:36Speaker 2: this boy, you know, he got on the tip line
- 17:39Speaker 2: and he called it in and they came and investigated
- 17:43Speaker 2: the situation and found out where chaosid wrote and he
- 17:47Speaker 2: even carly did he was going to kill him whenever
- 17:51Speaker 2: he got a chance. And uh so when they read that,
- 17:54Speaker 2: the investigators came and locked him up, and ten days
- 17:57Speaker 2: later they uh they packed him up and sent him
- 17:59Speaker 2: back Wallace Rich, so chances ours I'm never going to
- 18:03Speaker 2: see I'm never going to see him again inside of
- 18:07Speaker 2: a person, simply because I've made that choice. I'm working
- 18:10Speaker 2: on going home. Yeah, it's the situation all the way around.
- 18:22Speaker 2: You know, I almost lost a good friend over this,
- 18:26Speaker 2: almost got into it would cast like if me and him,
- 18:28Speaker 2: if we wouldn't have had that fence in between us
- 18:30Speaker 2: when we was conversating, it probably would have went down between.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Me and him.
- 18:36Speaker 2: And the sad thing is, you know, it's not like
- 18:39Speaker 2: he did it on purpose. So that's that's the chaos situation.
- 18:49Speaker 2: That's you know, that little story. I probably didn't tell
- 18:54Speaker 2: it the best I could, but you know I did
- 18:56Speaker 2: my best because at the end of the day, like
- 18:58Speaker 2: it's still bringing up frustrating feelings, he still wants to
- 19:01Speaker 2: bring up that anger and me just simply thinking and
- 19:03Speaker 2: talking about it. But at the end of the day,
- 19:10Speaker 2: you don't have to let that anger rule you. And
- 19:13Speaker 2: when you do get angry, don't listen to Pan Terror.
- 19:16Speaker 2: They're a great band. I listen to them all the
- 19:18Speaker 2: time when I'm getting ready to work out, but when
- 19:23Speaker 2: I start to get emotional, I'm no longer going to
- 19:27Speaker 2: allow myself to listen to metal or rock. I'm actually
- 19:31Speaker 2: going to put on nature mute, and I have done
- 19:33Speaker 2: that several times. There's been a couple of times since
- 19:36Speaker 2: then where somebody has pissed me off. You got this
- 19:40Speaker 2: one dude in here. He doesn't even have a job,
- 19:43Speaker 2: but he runs around trying to do everything. He's always
- 19:48Speaker 2: running up to the CEOs and talking to him and snitching.
- 19:52Speaker 2: I mean, he's just doing some really really dumb ass stuff.
- 19:56Speaker 2: And like, I really like, dude, what the f Wake up? Man?
- 20:00Speaker 2: It's a prison where you can't do this, you know.
- 20:05Speaker 2: But I don't go and listen to Meddle no more.
- 20:09Speaker 2: When I do get mad, when I do get angry,
- 20:16Speaker 2: I'll go and I put on some nature music. So yeah,
- 20:19Speaker 2: that's a that's the chaour story, and those those are
- 20:22Speaker 2: the little tricks that you use when you find yourself
- 20:25Speaker 2: getting mad. Don't put on metal, listen to something soft,
- 20:29Speaker 2: quiet and calming, and actually take a moment.
- 20:32Speaker 1: To step back.
- 20:33Speaker 2: You think about the people you love and care about,
- 20:36Speaker 2: and then say, Okay, how are my actions and my
- 20:39Speaker 2: choice is going to affect them? How is it going
- 20:42Speaker 2: to affect me? What is the best route to take
- 20:46Speaker 2: in this situation, and that's something that I'm still learning
- 20:50Speaker 2: and I'm still working on. I hope you enjoyed listening
- 20:54Speaker 2: to it. I hope you take something from this. Take care,
- 20:57Speaker 2: stay safe out there.
- 21:16Speaker 1: Thank you for using GTL
