So the way death row is, the population is its population. There's more guys from the big cities, the big counties. So there are more guys from Dallas and Houston than anywhere else. So that makes for a lot more fans of both teams. So on that day, football is the sport. We wake up thinking about it. You know, when the... When the weekend starts, that's what we're talking about.
And especially a big game like that, a big rivalry. Because I don't know, man. It seems like that because the Texans have been up and down a lot of times. They seem to play the role of... The little brother, you know what I'm saying? And so they want to get, they want to beat the Cowboys. You know, they don't beat nobody else. They want to beat the Cowboys.
And I've been telling the guys, the Texan fans, I'm like, you know, on that day, we're not going to be friends. We're going to be rivals, you know what I'm saying?
three of these booths wide. One on this side and one on this side. So it's about nine foot.
And the doors, they have this mesh where windows are supposed to be. We have two, three foot, I think it's four inches.
openings in in the in the door so we can stand at the door and we can talk you know it's not like normal conversational tones but when we when we talk loud we can hear each other and of course everybody's hollering and when when uh you know the kickoff starts and they make a big play or you know big tackle or something like that people people are hollering and yeah interacting so yeah it's
There are seven cells on the ground floor in a section, and then there's seven cells on two row, on the second story. We call it one row and two row. Okay. And in that area, there's a TV. It's a 35-inch TV, and it's from my cell. It's probably from here to that back wall. And one, two, three, four. Four cells, for the most part, are able to watch it on one roll by standing at the door.
So you stand at the door and you look through... The grate. Yes, the grate. The grate. So, yeah, you know, when... When it's fourth and three or fourth and ten, third and ten, you know, believe me, you're up at the grate and you're looking through that little diamond to make sure you can see, you know, whoever. Okay, but that's four hours you're standing. Yes, so some people stand.
Other people will make a makeshift chair. How? Okay, so like for me, I have quite a bit of legal documentation, legal paperwork. Okay. And I just have it in mesh, nylon mesh bags. And I've made a chair that's about this big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I strategically put it at the door and I sit on it. I'll sit on it.
But like I told you, when the kickoff is going to happen or something, you know, you get up and you get close to the grid so you can see what's going on. So, yeah.
I can remember last season in the playoffs, you know, we thought the Cowboys were going to do good. And then Green Bay showed up and they didn't do good.
So believe me, the Texan fans were letting us have it. They were letting us have it and they were talking trash and they were laughing at us. And, you know, they kept showing Dak and he was like a deer in the headlight. I'm just so mad I could cuss. It's just like the same thing keeps happening.
Touchdown, Lamar! And believe me, the next week when the Texans lost against the Ravens, I gave them the blues.
That's the thing about the death penalty, it's so difficult, is that we're not the worst thing that we've ever done. Are you the worst thing that you've ever done? Because I know you've done something that you, when you think about it, you cringe. We all have. Every human being that's alive has done something like that. So... That's what they're here for. But that's not the person that I know.
I'm not that person, right? And so for the most part, you know, guys are pretty calm, you know, pretty low key. And so there's not a lot of friction on their throne. Now, general population, it's different. And when there's a bunch of guys together and then it gets personal. Because somebody starts talking trash, and they put it out, but they can't take it in. And then they get angry.
And then once you get angry, well, then you'll say something that you shouldn't say, and they'll start fighting. So, yeah, there is that element, but I think that's out there in the free world, too.
So we get up, you know, I'll get up about 8 o'clock. And because it's a big day, we'll make a feast and we make stuff out of the items that we can buy at the commissary. And so it might be nachos or it might be tacos or special like Super Bowl or something. We'll do enchiladas.
Yes. Okay. Yes, because this has to be planned. We go to commissary two times a month.
So you got to buy the stuff a month before to make sure you have everything that you're going to need on that day. If it's enchiladas, are you cooking those in your cell? Everything that's made is pre-cooked. So you buy items. Beef tips and gravy. Uh-huh. Summer sausages are also used. Chicken chili. And all these things are pre-cooked, so they come in little, like, plastic pouches.
And it's an intricate process. We have to put all these things in cleaned-out plastic chip bags, and we heat them up. What we cook in is a hot pot, which essentially looks like a... an electric water kettle which heats up the water, right? So everything is heated up in water in a plastic bag. And the trick is knowing how to mix everything and warm it up together to make the enchiladas good.
