| 0:00.0 | The next morning, Bill Long, one of the guards at Alcatraz, was doing his morning head count. |
| 0:06.2 | And when the Anglins and Morris didn't get out of bed, he was like, all right, come on, guys, what the fuck? |
| 0:10.4 | And he goes to poke Morris. |
| 0:11.7 | He pokes Morris's head, and the head rolls out of the bed onto the floor, the nose breaks off, and it rolls into the corner. |
| 0:17.9 | That is so fucked up. |
| 0:20.7 | It's fucked up is so fucked up. It's fucked up. |
| 0:22.6 | So fucked up. |
| 0:23.7 | It is just so damn fucked up. |
| 0:32.5 | That's fucked up. |
| 0:36.1 | Are you ready? |
| 0:37.0 | I'm so ready. I was bored ready. It's funny because you're telling the story and I'm so ready. |
| 0:54.4 | I was bored ready. It's funny because you're telling the story and I'm asking like, are you ready for this? Are you ready? Are you ready to talk about this thing? But I am. You are. Yeah. Honestly, I need to be more ready to tell you this story than I do to listen to it. Totally. Well, I'm super ready to listen. Sounds like you're ready to tell. I'm ready to spell. |
| 0:57.3 | I hope the listeners are ready since they press play. |
| 1:27.5 | Yeah. If they weren't ready, that was a foolish decision on their part. Unless it was an accident. Like, unless you were just like flipping through your phone, you were scrolling through the newly released episodes on your favorite podcast app and your thumb just hit play. And you're like, whoa, I wasn't ready. But otherwise, if you did this intentionally and now you're like, I'm not ready, seems like a weird choice. You got to get it together. Get it together, listeners. You guys just get a cup of coffee, a Yerabamate, a hot cocoa, you know, like... A Celsius. What is that? We're not sponsored, but it's an energy drink. It's very good. |
| 1:28.2 | According to the can, which I don't believe at all, it says it's essential energy that accelerates your metabolism and burns body fat. |
| 1:35.9 | I do think the energy in it is essential. |
| 1:37.7 | I know it's essential for my well-being. |
| 1:39.9 | Don't know about the accelerating metabolism and burning body fat claims. |
| 1:43.0 | I just really don't know how my body metabolism and burning body fat claims. I just really don't know |
| 1:44.6 | how my body would handle a fucking energy drink. So it's clinically proven though. I mean, it's like |
| 1:50.6 | DA approved. Not the FDA, but the district attorney. Our district attorney drinks these and he |
