Full Episode
So this guy, he's a little crazy. In fact, he's so crazy that he unalives someone and then he ends up on Rick and Morty? All right, let me explain. So the guy's name is Denver and one day Denver decides to rob a bunch of houses in the same neighborhood and he gets caught and they throw him in jail. And unfortunately, being in jail really isn't good for his already failing mental health.
And he starts having delusions and threatening deputies and things aren't going well for him. But then he gets transferred to the county jail. And five days after moving to that jail, he decides to attack his cellmate
some reason and he waits for him to fall asleep and then he sneaks over to his bed and bam he smashes his cellmate's head in and he unalives him and apparently afterwards he's like bragging to the other inmates about what he did he's like that's right i crushed that bastard And the other inmates are just like, OK, yikes.
So Denver is charged with murder, and they assign him a public defender, this guy, who we'll just call Saul. And Saul tries to work with him a bit. And pretty quickly, he's like, this guy is not mentally fit to stand trial. So the state sends Denver to a psychiatric facility for a psych evaluation to make sure he fully understands what's happening to him while he's on trial.
But sending him to this psych facility really pisses Denver off. Mostly he's mad at Saul for recommending he be sent there. Regardless, Denver spends a bit of time in this hospital and there they diagnose him with schizophrenia. But they also feel that he is mentally fit to stand trial. So months later, Denver shows up to his hearing and he stands in front of the judge. This guy, Judge Durham.
Now, at this point, Denver is still pissed off at Saul for recommending he get sent to that psych facility. And he just doesn't trust him. So there, in court, he tells Judge Durham that he wants to ditch Saul and represent himself. And Judge Durham's like, uh, you probably don't want to do that. But Denver insists. He's like, no, I want to.
And he tells the judge he can't work with Saul anymore because he says Saul tried to proposition him for oral sex. Now, Judge Durham knows that Denver is full of shit and that he's got mental stuff going on. So again, he tries to convince him that representing himself would be a bad idea and they start to argue and go back and forth a little bit.
And this really starts to piss Denver off and he gets all worked up. And pretty quickly, he's yelling at the judge, saying really obscene things to him. And eventually, he just starts threatening to unalive the judge and his family. Now, during all this, Judge Durham is supposed to stay professional, but that's not what he does. Because Denver is just like the rudest person he's ever met.
And judge just can't take it anymore. And he starts yelling back and like calling Denver stupid. And then Denver starts proclaiming that the judge wants to perform oral sex on him as well. And like the judge gets all mad and he calls him a queer, which is extremely unprofessional and homophobic. But both the judge and Denver are just angry and they're arguing and neither of them will back down.
