  • A quick note before we start the show.

  • This episode includes graphic descriptions of violence.

  • If you're sensitive around that sort of thing, you should probably skip this one.

  • Thanks.

  • Can you describe your drug induced state?

  • What state did that drug put you in?

  • Oh, how does it describe fucking morphine high?

  • You know, morphine's a depressant.

  • It's a painkiller.

  • It's something that numbs you when you shut your eyes.

  • It's like you hear a noise, like a.

  • I want to say like a yawn.

  • And, yeah, let me tell you about prison.

  • Let me tell you about the attitude around emotional weakness.

  • When people used to come in from the courts, they'd be carrying their little plastic bag or whatever clothes they had with them, and they'd come in, people would start kicking the doors and going, hang yourself.

  • That would be the welcoming you would get coming into the prison.

  • And some people did.

  • That was the general attitude in prison, you need to harden the fuck up or kill yourself.

  • It's not a place where the normal emotional spectrum is accepted or is functional.

  • And for psychological survival, you do need to harden yourself.
