Yeah, we could sit here for 10 hours. That's why people got to get the book, it's hard.

There's a lot of duality there.

All throughout. Yeah, we didn't even say like, you know, like my father ended up dying in 1999. And on his deathbed, he confessed to me that he was molested by a Catholic priest. And I just got to believe that was his last ditch effort trying to get me to open up to him. Like he had tried when I was younger. He saw... My life was going absolutely nowhere.

And I think him saying that was just his last chance before he died to like, I got to get my son to like get over this hump, man.

You know, I have so many people that reach out to me that want to go confront their abuser. And I just say, no, don't do it. They're evil. They're master manipulators. They're liars. They don't want to heal. They don't want to get healthy. whatever they're going to tell you is not going to be what you want to hear. They're not going to say, I'm sorry. They never say they're sorry.

They can't, they just can't, they can't go there.

They can't, they just can't, they can't go there.

Yeah, they won't do it. And, you know, when I was in prison, my therapist, she said to me, she goes, Clark, I just want you to be aware the unit you're housed on, one out of three, Closer to two out of three guys are there for sex crimes. And she goes, mostly against children. I'm like, what? She goes, yeah. And I go, holy smokes. And I go, let me ask you something.

What do you do for them while they're in here to help them before they get released? And she made no bones about it that she was as liberal as the day was long. This woman was an angel. She was the sweetest lady. You know, she would say, you know, you can't be a therapist in a prison and not be a liberal person, you know. And so I'm expecting some feel good answer from her.

And she goes, we do absolutely nothing. And I go, what are you talking about? And she goes, Clark, they're liars and master manipulators and they don't want help. And anything they say to us would just be a lie to try to get their sentence reduced. I'm like, really? She goes, yep. So I go, they just sit here doing their time to get out and reoffend. She goes, pretty much.

She goes, if their case is that horrific, they can be civilly committed. Our laundry guy, nice dude on the tier, did our laundry, slip him a bag of coffee. He'll put some starch in it, have everything nice and folded for you. Laundry comes back. Great. He's telling us two months. I'm getting out next month. I get out two weeks. I get out one week. I get out.
