farmed salmon. This fish is perfect for

0:56

the grill. Buttery, fatty, yet lean, nice

0:58

thick fillets. I'm getting hungry just thinking

1:01

about it and I know I can

1:03

1:05

so many ways to save at Whole

1:07

Foods Market. Now you know. Strange

1:10

happenings are occurring in the world of Exandria.

1:13

Slayed creatures and beasts from days of yore

1:15

are returning to the land of the living

1:17

and it's up to a band of unlikely

1:19

heroes to re-slay them. Welcome

1:21

to the Re-Slayers Take. I'm

1:24

Jasmine Bular, Jasmine Chung, Jasper

1:26

Cartwright, and Caroline Lux alongside

1:28

Game Masters Nick Williams and me George

1:30

Primavera in this Dungeons & Dragons 5th

1:32

edition role-playing adventure through Critical Roles fantasy

1:35

world of Exandria. But don't worry you

1:37

won't need to know the rules to

1:39

follow this story. All you need to

1:41

know is that nothing the players do

1:43

is scripted or planned and their fates

1:45

are determined by their own cleverness and

1:47

the role of a 20-sided So

1:50

what the heck are you waiting for? Adventure

1:53

awaits in the Re-Slayers Take. New

1:55

episodes drop weekly on Mondays wherever you

1:57

stream your podcasts. We

2:00

are here, Lord, we are here, and we're ready to part

2:02

this. Hi,

2:21

I'm Halle LeBont, and this is Mega coming to

2:24

you from Twin Hills Community Church, where every single

2:26

week we're giving our Mega Church a tiny family

2:28

feel. We love introducing you to members of our

2:30

church staff and people from our community, and I

2:32

always find it to be a treat and a

2:34

treasure. And per use, I'm joined

2:36

by my co-host, he's the youth pastor for

2:38

our high school ministry called Climax. Please

2:41

welcome Gray Hoz. If you're

2:43

feeling like life has got you

2:45

locked up, Halle, I'm here to

2:47

tell you Jesus is the key.

2:52

What is up? I'm so excited to be here. Oh,

2:54

that is making me feel too blessed to be

2:56

stressed and way too grateful to be hateful. That

2:58

wasn't the best catchphrase I've ever had. I might try

3:00

to do it again. Maybe I'll

3:02

say... Yeah, I didn't follow it. Yeah.

3:05

If life, you know, if Jesus, if

3:07

you're in handcuffs and want to break

3:09

free, Jesus is the guy that you

3:12

want to see. How's that, Halle? I

3:14

love it. That one works. And who doesn't

3:16

love a rhyme that rhymes? That's

3:18

right. Am I right? That's what rhyme

3:21

means, I think. Well, just like Jesus

3:23

said, when you visit those imprisoned, you

3:25

visit me. Our guest today has been

3:27

on both sides of the bars. He

3:29

comes from our Barabbas ministry, our first

3:31

man we've ever had on the program

3:33

who's been into the clanker. It's my

3:36

pleasure to welcome to the program Pat

3:38

Oldman. How you feeling today, Pat? I'm

3:40

really good, Halle. I'm just, you

3:44

know, it's been a rough ride for me

3:46

and I'm really grateful to be here and

3:49

shining in the light of the Lord where

3:52

I can finally feel freedom

3:55

on my face and not

3:57

just the freedom of not being incarcerated

3:59

anymore. about the freedom of

4:02

the sun and the freedom of

4:04

life. And

4:06

I did want to ask about what is on your face.

4:09

Is that sunscreen, it seems

4:11

like maybe you got a lot of SPF

4:13

or something there? Yeah, I'm very pale. So,

4:16

you know, your name may be

4:18

gray, but

4:21

some of us are white,

4:24

very, very white. Ah,

4:26

that is funny. That

4:28

is really funny. Yeah,

4:30

I noticed, sometimes I

4:32

notice things like, a

4:36

lot of people wouldn't notice that your name's a

4:38

color, but I did. Yeah,

4:41

yeah, actually, I don't think I noticed up until

4:43

this point, but you know, for me, life

4:45

is pretty black and white and the only

4:47

gray that I know is me. You

4:52

know, I wanted to talk first to

4:54

you, Pat, about what

4:57

it was that got you

5:00

into prison in the first place. And I

5:02

know for a lot of people, this can

5:04

be a touchy subject, but

5:06

as someone who has been in,

5:08

seen the inside, and has emerged

5:10

with this new outlook on life

5:12

and a lot of sunscreen, what

5:15

was it that got you into prison?

5:18

You know, at first it wasn't

5:20

a thing I wanted to talk about because

5:22

frankly, it's embarrassing. Oh no, okay, yeah. But

5:24

now I feel like I have a story

5:27

to share and it's important

5:29

for other people to hear that story. So they

5:32

don't fall down the same ill-begotten

5:35

path that I fell down. That's right,

5:37

you have a beautiful testimony. And

5:39

I, you know, my

5:42

brain doesn't quite work like everyone else's brain.

5:44

That's why I noticed things like when someone's

5:46

name is a color. Right. And

5:50

in my earlier days, my rougher

5:52

days, I

5:55

did commit a murder. Yep. A

5:57

murder. Well, there was one.

5:59

hanging right next to Jesus. That's right,

6:01

that's right. And it's covered in the blood.

6:04

And that's why I went to prison because

6:07

it was a crime of passion,

6:10

honestly. I

6:13

was so upset that, you know, I just, for a

6:15

while, I just saw red and it was just like,

6:19

the drums were pounding and screaming in my

6:21

head and I just, I saw blood

6:25

and I just wanted blood and I

6:27

committed this murder and it's nothing I

6:29

am proud of. Wow. And I'm here

6:31

today to let your

6:33

listeners know, to let everyone at the church

6:36

know that you don't

6:38

have to do this. Awesome. If

6:40

you're angry. If you're angry. If

6:43

you, I mean, I think you two

6:45

are wonderful. I love the show. Oh. But

6:48

even you two, sometimes things make you angry.

6:50

It's just part of being alive. Right,

6:52

I'm not sure about, yeah. Yeah, you saw red

6:55

and it's testament to how white you are that

6:57

you're already out of the can or

7:00

whatever you call it. And, you know,

7:02

welcome back to your liberation. And

7:05

who did you kill? Was it your lady

7:07

friend to something? You said it was a crime

7:09

of passion. Yeah. Oh, that is, that

7:12

is the typical story, isn't it? Yeah. You

7:14

know, there's too many murders in this country

7:16

committed by the lovers

7:18

of women. But

7:21

no, I killed a high ranking member

7:23

of our military. Wow.

7:25

No. It's the

7:27

ultimate sin. I'm not very proud. I mean, I

7:30

guess it's the ultimate sin, but yeah. Wow.

7:33

Oh, it griefs the heart. How high

7:35

ranking are we talking in general? Colonel.

7:38

Oh my. Okay. I think

7:40

that is, I think that's below general. It doesn't get much higher

7:42

than that. Oh, it doesn't? I don't know. I'm not sure the

7:44

ranking system, but that sounds real up there high. The one

7:46

thing I do know is Lieutenant Colonel is

7:49

below Colonel. Oh really? Which

7:51

seems backwards, right? Yeah, it seems like you got

7:53

more decoration. Yeah. What

7:56

about Lieutenant? I think

7:58

that must be. a

8:00

left-handed lieutenant? I don't know. That makes

8:02

sense. We only have three ranks actually

8:04

in the Australian military. It's a bit

8:07

different where we have lieutenant

8:09

at the top. Then we have

8:11

best boy and then we

8:13

have right tenant. So

8:15

you got right, best boy, left tenant.

8:18

And then there's a lot of little breakdowns in between

8:20

there but that's all based on status and who's kind

8:22

of stronger than who. But once you

8:24

get into one of those categories then it's a

8:26

wrestling match to see who leads the brigade. And

8:28

then the rest is kind

8:31

of, but Australia has never been in a war.

8:33

We don't really know what we're doing. So it's

8:35

a bit chaotic. Australia wasn't in World War II?

8:38

No, actually, as far as I know,

8:40

we were fighting our own world war.

8:42

Is that really? Yeah, well, there was

8:44

the Australian world war. Have you ever

8:46

heard of that? No, I haven't.

8:49

I'm fascinated. At that time and whenever that

8:51

was, we thought that the

8:53

world kind of ended somewhere around

8:55

New Zealand and north of Indonesia. So

8:57

we were kind of fighting our own

8:59

world war over there among

9:01

kind of Papua New Guinea. I

9:04

can't really, you know, this was old stuff. It was

9:06

way before I was born. Great. I'm

9:09

just so grateful that I served my time

9:11

and I'm free now so that I can

9:13

continue to learn and grow because

9:16

I had no idea. I just always assumed

9:18

Australia was in World War II. No.

9:21

But now I'm learning that Australia had its own

9:23

struggles. Yes. And that's really what

9:25

everyone needs to understand. If

9:28

you open your heart and understand that everyone

9:30

has their own struggles, then

9:32

you can be empathetic. And

9:35

that can allow you to not commit

9:37

murders. I

9:41

think empathy and

9:43

not murdered, that there's

9:46

a straight connection, there's a straight line there that

9:48

connects those two things. Yes. Yep,

9:50

and Pat, I'll tell you what, you don't

9:52

have a single fleck of salt and pepper

9:55

in your hair and your mustache and you

9:57

seem like such a young man to have

9:59

all- He already served all that time. I

10:01

know, it seems like he came out well

10:04

rested almost. You're still, you know. How

10:06

long were you in for? I was in

10:08

for a little over two

10:10

weeks. Two weeks? And it was

10:12

a brutal, brutal two weeks.

10:14

For murder? Wow, you would.

10:16

Well, I mean, yeah, it was a murder,

10:19

but you know how the state is, and

10:21

you know how they just have this revolving

10:23

door on prisons now. Yeah. And,

10:25

you know, anyone can do anything and just get

10:28

out of there. Behavior, yep, yep, yep.

10:31

Yay! You

10:36

can save every day by shopping at

10:39

Whole Foods Market. Seriously, don't just go

10:41

for the big sales. Walk the store

10:43

and see the savings for yourself in

10:46

the seafood department. Look for the yellow

10:48

low price sign on Whole Foods Market

10:50

responsibly farmed salmon. This fish is perfect

10:52

for the grill. Buttery, fatty, yet lean,

10:55

nice thick fillets. I'm getting hungry just

10:57

thinking about it. And I know I

10:59

can get it at a great price.

11:01

There's so many ways to save at

11:04

Whole Foods Market. Now you know. Because

11:07

I really value truth, misinformation

11:09

really, really scares me. That's

11:11

why I'm excited to tell

11:13

you about Conspirituality, a podcast

11:15

that dismantles new age cults,

11:17

wellness grifters, and conspiracy mad

11:19

yogis. At their best, they

11:22

attack public health efforts in times of

11:24

crisis, and at their worst, it's like

11:26

they're recruiting for the fever dream of

11:29

QAnon. On Conspirituality, you will have a

11:31

journalist, a cult researcher, and a philosophical

11:33

skeptic all discussing stories and cult dynamics

11:35

and helping educate us and using

11:38

proven science as their guiding light.

11:41

I really recommend the Jordan Klepper episode

11:43

talking about creating comedy in the MAGAverse.

11:45

Jordan's incredible. And I also really love

11:47

the Medical Medium episode. It's really good,

11:49

and not just because I've had my

11:51

own weird experiences with mediums. From

11:54

exploring cults to analyzing our cultural and

11:56

political landscape, the Conspirituality podcast will help

11:58

you stay in. formed against

12:01

misinformation and resist fear tactics.

12:03

Find Conspiratuality on Apple Podcasts,

12:05

Spotify, or wherever you get

12:07

your podcasts. ["The

12:16

End of the World"] Do you want to get into why

12:19

you killed this kernel? And

12:22

that's an amazing, kind of an amazing, I guess,

12:24

you know, it goes to show that if you

12:26

believe in God, in Him all

12:28

things are possible. And I'm guessing

12:31

that once you found Jesus, that sentence

12:33

just suddenly went down as something.

12:35

I mean, how did you come

12:37

to find Christ in prison and then get

12:39

out two weeks later? I mean, it's a

12:42

pretty compact time to turn your life around.

12:45

Well, you know, the

12:48

road of life is a twisting and strange

12:50

one. And really

12:52

what happened was my lawyer

12:54

bargained it down to a

12:56

misdemeanor. Really? Yeah. How could

12:58

you do that with a- You have a good

13:00

team, Pat. You have a good team. First-degree murder

13:02

of an armed services member

13:04

down to misdemeanor, I guess God is real.

13:07

But I know in my heart, it was a

13:09

murder. Right. And I have to live

13:12

with that every single

13:15

day. Do you have sunscreen in your eyes?

13:18

I've got a little sunscreen in my eyes. I

13:20

can't. Well, I just tried to

13:22

wipe it out with my finger. I have sunscreen all over

13:25

my finger, so I just have more sunscreen in my eyes.

13:27

Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, you're really- You know what would

13:29

help? You can't even open them, can you? I'd help if

13:31

I get this bottle of sunscreen, put some more sunscreen

13:33

on. You're gonna put sunscreen on the sunscreen? Oh, yeah.

13:35

Give me a minute. Oh.

13:38

Yeah, okay. I haven't seen zinc like that

13:40

in a long time. That's a kind of old

13:42

school style. Yeah, I really like the white. I

13:44

just like the stripes of white. Oh, yes.

13:47

To really like make sure that

13:49

I'm getting the most protection possible

13:51

because the sun will

13:53

kill me. Oh, wow. And

13:55

I don't mean that as like a metaphor.

13:58

Okay. I'm gonna get cancer, I mean. I

14:00

know that the sun will

14:02

kill me. Is that right? Like if you, well,

14:04

I think the sun will probably kill everybody, right?

14:06

If you get too close to it, is that

14:09

what you're saying? I think that my fate has

14:11

been laid out before me in a vision and

14:13

the sun will kill me. You

14:15

had a vision that you would die by

14:18

what? The sun? On

14:20

my last day in prison. So day 13.

14:24

Day 13. I

14:26

found the parabas.

14:30

Teachings through your church. And

14:33

the program helped me. And they

14:35

said, well, you know, if you're gonna be here

14:37

for a while, we're

14:39

gonna have you go through a lot

14:42

of counseling and we're gonna have you talk to someone

14:44

about a job placement. I'm like, I'm out of here

14:46

tomorrow. What can you do for me in 24 hours?

14:50

Wow. But I opened

14:52

my ears and my eyes and my

14:54

heart. And in that 24 hours, I

14:56

learned a lot about Jesus. I

14:59

learned his last name is Christ. I

15:01

always thought that was just a saying. Oh,

15:03

so did I actually, I don't think I really

15:05

knew that. And then I found out it is a

15:08

saying, but you're not supposed to say it. Right, yeah,

15:10

never. And that gee whiz was a thing that

15:12

people made up so they didn't have to say

15:14

it. Did you know that? Wow. I

15:16

can't believe they taught you this in there. That's amazing. That's a

15:18

lot to learn in one day. It was a

15:20

lot to learn. And I learned that I can be

15:23

saved. And then I went to

15:25

sleep that night and I dreamed that the son

15:27

was gonna kill me with

15:29

a gun. And then I

15:31

woke up and I asked, oh, I'm sorry. I was

15:33

only there for a few hours. What was her name?

15:36

Our prison ministry minister. Her name is

15:38

Pat as well. Same name is

15:40

you. She's a very masculine, big-boned

15:43

straight woman. Yeah. That's

15:45

right, Pat. I should have remembered that. I

15:47

can't believe I didn't remember that. A lot of people only

15:49

remember sort of a haircut, which looks

15:51

like one of those old-timey football helmets with the

15:53

leather straps on the side. Yeah. I

15:55

thought it was becoming though. Yeah. It was becoming

15:57

something and I was hoping it would become a-

16:00

a lot longer haircut, but she keeps cutting it

16:02

back that same way. Right. Well, you know, if

16:04

you're working in a prison with people, you don't

16:06

want to, you know, it can get gross in

16:08

there, I hear. Right. Oh wait, so you

16:11

weren't actually in prison? Were you, like how

16:13

did, I thought, I thought prison was longer.

16:15

Yeah. Yeah. Well, it was

16:17

sort of like a mistake. I was, okay.

16:19

So they, they've argued it down to a misdemeanor.

16:22

Okay. And I was supposed to go

16:24

to jail, but I got on the wrong bus and

16:26

I ended up in prison and

16:28

I started talking to them and they're like, you're not

16:30

supposed to be here. And they like, so I was

16:32

kind of like, I was mostly waiting in the office.

16:34

Did they have just like willy nilly buses that you

16:36

could get on? What kind of, it was a prison

16:38

bus? Or are you just getting on the wrong Greyhound

16:40

or something? Yeah. When they got you in

16:42

holding, there's a day where they're like, get on the bus. Okay. Really?

16:47

Yeah. But I guess, I've been avoiding this. It's

16:49

the hardest part of what I got to do, but I have a

16:51

story to tell and I'm going to tell it. I

16:55

was hungry one day. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

16:57

And I was driving out

17:01

to Carmel. Yep, yep, yep. Most

17:04

beautiful place in Indiana. And I, before

17:06

I got there to see my mother, may

17:09

she rest in peace. She died while I was in prison.

17:12

Oh no. What are the odds?

17:14

It was day 13. Really?

17:17

Oh, what a bummer. But

17:19

I was on my way to visit her and I was

17:21

like, well, she's not going to have food ready. So I

17:23

should probably stop and get something to eat. And I went

17:27

to a KFC and I ordered a double down. And

17:30

they're like, we don't do that anymore. And

17:33

I said, what? I'm

17:37

like, you've got chicken, right? And

17:41

you've got other chicken. You could put

17:43

between the chicken, other thing. You can make a double

17:45

down. You can put two pieces of chicken and make

17:47

it the bread. Right? Still?

17:50

And I'm like, we're sorry, we don't do that. Now

17:52

is it double down with the chicken, with the bread,

17:54

is chicken? The bread is chicken. So

17:56

it's chicken with chicken in between. It's a

17:58

chicken bun holding. and a piece of chicken. That's

18:01

right. Really. And I said, I saw red.

18:05

Yep. Oh no. Because there's a

18:07

lot of red in that, in

18:09

a cave. So, you know, predominantly red. But

18:13

it's also a metaphor of

18:15

the way I felt. And I

18:17

was so mad at this worker

18:19

who denied me a

18:23

double down chicken sandwich that

18:27

I went crazy. And

18:32

they had a full size, life size

18:34

Colonel Sanders statue. And I just, I

18:36

just, I choked it and I punched

18:38

it. And I took out my

18:41

pocket knife. I've got a little Swiss army pocket knife.

18:43

I just stabbed it over and over and over and

18:45

over again. And

18:47

in the course of this happening, this worker comes

18:50

out from behind the counter and is like, what

18:52

are you doing? And I was

18:54

like, I'm murdering Colonel Sanders. And

18:57

that's how they're able to talk it down to a

18:59

misdemeanor. But in my heart, I

19:02

know it was a murder. Wait, yeah. Okay.

19:04

So. Yeah. Well, there was motive and there was

19:07

intent. I mean, was, I mean, but is, would

19:10

you consider Colonel Sanders a high ranking member

19:12

of the armed services? In that moment,

19:15

to me, Colonel Sanders was really there.

19:17

And it had the real Colonel Sanders

19:19

been standing there. I would have killed

19:21

him. And I don't know exactly

19:23

how he got

19:25

his rank. I imagine

19:27

it was during World War II. I mean, he's not

19:29

even that the Australians famously were not in. Right.

19:32

But he's not even at the top of the

19:34

chicken ranking. I mean, it's just like, he's

19:36

kind of a mid ranking. What?

19:40

It just, I'm sorry to kind

19:42

of go back to your story here, but I really thought

19:44

that you had killed an alive man.

19:47

In my mind. In the,

19:49

right. And Colonel Sanders was once a very

19:51

real human being, just like Jesus. And Colonel

19:54

Sanders was a Colonel in the U S

19:56

army. So I thought, I mean, at least

19:58

it would have been funny. if you

20:00

killed Jim Gaffigan or something, because I

20:02

think he did those for a while.

20:04

But, and I'm sorry

20:06

to say fun, but it's just like, I

20:09

guess this makes a little more sense why you're

20:11

only in- That's how you got out so fast. I mean, were you in

20:13

jail, not actual prison? Were you just down

20:15

at the county jail? Yeah, yeah,

20:18

I think that's, yeah, they call it, yeah,

20:21

I call it prison because

20:23

it's, there's, they

20:25

lock you up in it. That's a prison, right? Yeah,

20:28

well, you're lucky, because if you got on

20:30

the- Whoa, whoa, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

20:32

What's the difference between prison and jail? I think

20:34

it's the bus you take, and you got on the wrong

20:36

bus. ["The

this to life. We're covering all

the classics. If I don't know a lot about

21:31

that I don't. Hold it in. And

can listen to Crunchyroll Presents, The Anime

Effect, every Friday wherever you get your

21:54

podcasts and watch full video episodes on

21:57

Crunchyroll or the Crunchyroll YouTube channel. You

22:10

went to prison and they, I think,

22:12

rejected you, which you're very lucky about because

22:14

I have seen it in Shawshank Redemption that

22:16

these guys, their life is in there. They

22:18

fall in love with it. They go to

22:20

the library, they drink cold beer, they hang

22:22

out with their friends, they play games, you

22:24

know, they read books they're having the time

22:26

of their life. If you try to drag

22:28

them out of there, you know, they'll take

22:31

their own life. Yeah, but I mean, this

22:33

guy, I mean, I'm sorry, Pat, but you

22:35

know, you said you, when you emailed

22:37

us, you said, my life

22:39

has been changed by the prison ministry. I'm

22:41

a murderer. That's been reformed. Yeah. And

22:44

now we're finding out that you spent two weeks after killing

22:46

a statue outside the KFC. And I'm

22:48

sorry your mom died, but it's just a bit,

22:50

you know, I mean, did she really die? Is

22:52

your mom dead? She's very sick. Okay. So

22:54

she's not, she's not even, she's not

22:57

even dead yet. So, Pat

22:59

was, Pat was very clear that

23:01

I should not be there, but I

23:03

still listen to her teachings and she

23:05

changed my life. And I,

23:07

if she wasn't a married woman, I'd be

23:09

proposing to her right now because she opened

23:12

a door to

23:14

me that I didn't think

23:16

could be opened. And that door was

23:19

the door of Jesus can save you.

23:21

You didn't have to kill this statue,

23:23

but you did. And now you are

23:26

forgiven. That's all I wanted was to

23:28

be forgiven. Yep. Well, yeah, I

23:30

think, I think that was something that probably didn't even need

23:32

Jesus to forgive you for. Cause

23:34

it's not real. I mean, it's just kind of an act

23:36

of vandalism. If this helps you,

23:38

Gray, according to the Bible, Pat

23:42

is a murderer because God says he looks

23:44

at the intent of your heart. If you

23:46

look a woman, if you look at a

23:48

woman's flesh as if to sleep with her

23:50

in God's mind, guess what? You've

23:53

already procreated with her just by looking

23:55

at her rear end, you know, just

23:57

by just by Pat wanting to viciously

23:59

stab. a Colonel who was once

24:01

alive to death in

24:03

God's eyes. Pat, you're

24:06

a full-blown murder. First degree. Put that in your Pat and

24:08

smoke it. Is that thing about women true? That

24:11

is true. That in God's eyes,

24:13

if you look at a woman

24:15

lustfully in God's mind, you've

24:17

already slept with her. So if you've looked

24:19

at the rumps of 200 women in your

24:22

life, you've had sex with 200 women

24:24

in the eyes of God. And thank goodness I have

24:27

never done that because I don't even

24:29

think about that stuff. But I guess,

24:31

you know, Pat, are you okay? Is

24:34

getting the stuff in your mouth? I feel like

24:36

I've got a lot of sins to atone for.

24:38

I think you just got some more sunscreen in

24:40

your eyes. You just keep wiping the... How

24:44

does that sunscreen not soak into your skin? It's

24:46

just like, it's as if you put, it's

24:48

like as if you put on some, you know, makeup.

24:51

I start with my base layer in the morning.

24:53

And then this is the sunscreen that goes on top

24:56

of the base. Okay. I'm not really, I guess, asking

24:58

exactly how it works. But then I have to drink

25:00

a glass of sunscreen and

25:02

make sure my insides are coated as

25:04

well. Oh, wow. That doesn't work. Wow.

25:06

I've always wished there was a sunscreen pill you

25:08

could take and it would just work topically all

25:11

over your whole body for SPF. That is such

25:13

a good idea. Or a bath oil where you

25:15

could just dip your whole body in the bathtub

25:17

and it just puts sunscreen on every single inch

25:20

of your surface area of your epidermis. You

25:22

are, you're a brilliant woman and these

25:25

are fantastic ideas. I'm so sorry that

25:27

I've sinned with you. Oh

25:29

my goodness. Okay. I'm just gonna have

25:31

to turn. Oh Pat, you know what?

25:33

It's not your fault. I tell you

25:35

what, I've had reductions three times and

25:37

they come back every single time. And

25:39

if these big things have

25:41

caused these glands, I, they

25:44

cause good and upright men to stumble. If I

25:46

can offer you a word basket of encouragement, you

25:49

know what? It's covered in the blood, my

25:51

man. Yeah. Well, I'm so sorry. It's fine.

25:53

Like, can we, here's the thing is

25:55

I was pretty excited because I never talked to a murderer

25:57

before. And now you have. And now it just seems like we've

25:59

got. I mean, what's the worst thing

26:01

you've done? Because maybe we can at

26:03

least talk about that because it

26:06

seems like, you know, knocking the head

26:08

off of a statue when your mom's a bit

26:11

sick and then getting on the wrong bus just

26:13

doesn't, I just don't wanna, it's

26:16

not the promise of the premise. You know what I

26:18

mean? I forgot to tell you that, that was the

26:20

best part. There was a big chicken leg, you know,

26:22

like a fake one, like a- A

26:24

drumstick? Yeah, like a

26:26

drumstick, like a polyurethane drumstick. And I

26:29

just like, I just whacked the

26:31

head and it came clean off in one shot. That

26:33

was pretty great. Wow, with

26:35

a prop, dumbstick. With a

26:37

prop, prop stick. That's right. Hallie,

26:40

okay, so- Drumstick. Yeah,

26:42

drumstick. Okay, so Pat, are

26:47

you married? I've been engaged

26:49

four times. Okay, I guess that would explain

26:51

the four rings on each of

26:53

the four rings stacked on the finger there. Those

26:56

are all different, they look like

26:58

female diamond engagement rings. I know, that's

27:00

the only other thing that stood out to me

27:02

except for the sunscreen. I've been engaged four times,

27:04

this same woman. She always gives the ring back.

27:07

I always buy a new ring. Now, was that something

27:09

that happened when you were inside? Because I've heard

27:11

a lot, a lot of times women will

27:14

fall in love with men on the

27:16

inside of prison because

27:19

they start writing letters, you know. I heard that

27:21

Marilyn Manson, when he was in prison, people

27:24

would write on letters all the time. Somebody even married him. Two

27:27

of them were before I was in

27:29

prison. One was while I was in prison and one

27:31

was, see, I got out of prison,

27:34

what's today? Tuesday. Yeah, I

27:36

got out of prison yesterday. So

27:38

the other one was this morning. Okay,

27:41

so you got in prison yesterday. The email,

27:43

we must have been the first email you

27:45

sent being like, I gotta get on the-

27:47

Yeah, Pat said I should email you right

27:49

away. And I was like, absolutely, I can't

27:51

wait to like, start my new career as

27:53

a social influencer. Oh my God. Oh, so

27:55

this is kind of a part of your

27:57

whole thing to get a bit of clout.

27:59

Well, I'm-
