| 0:00.0 | Today on the Dennis Michael Lynch show, I've got a special guest. Her name is Miss Mary. She's beautiful as always. |
| 0:06.0 | We're going to talk about autism and what's driving one man's arrest continuously for trying to do good for his city. |
| 0:16.3 | We're going to be going back and forth, Mary and I, and it's all. Unfiltered. |
| 0:21.6 | Dennis Michael Lynch gives you his word, and he will never let you down. He will always |
| 0:27.4 | fight for America. The only one who really puts his money where his mouth is, is Dennis Michael |
| 0:33.1 | Lynch. Oh, I'm Dennis Michael Lynch, and I thank you for joining us today. Like I said, |
| 0:36.8 | Ms. Mary is across from me, and we are, as always, going to start with a Instagram video that makes you think. It's always a little personal interest story. And for those of you who haven't seen this program yet, periodically on Fridays, I bring Mary in. It's probably one of the best shows we have all week. |
| 0:56.0 | Oh, gosh. Yeah, I'm kissing ass. I'm kissing ass. And what we do is we play a video and then we |
| 1:00.6 | discuss it for about 20 minutes. So here you go. Here is a video from Instagram, from an account |
| 1:06.9 | called Valerjee, and it is of a man with autism and why he keeps on getting arrested. |
| 1:14.0 | This man illegally drives New York subway trains simply because he loves it. Darius McCollum has |
| 1:20.2 | autism and is fascinated with the New York City public transit system. Since he was 15, he's been |
| 1:26.0 | impersonating transit workers. He puts on a uniform, |
| 1:29.3 | grabs a set of keys, and just takes over the job. He drives both trains and buses, and he does |
| 1:35.4 | it perfectly. He announces the stops, fixes broken signals, he's never had a single accident, |
| 1:41.1 | and he makes sure no one is going to be late for work. He's done this over a |
| 1:44.8 | thousand times and he's been arrested 32 times, but the city won't hire him, even though on |
| 1:50.3 | paper he's the perfect employee because of his criminal record. In fact, he has spent nearly half of |
| 1:55.8 | his life in maximum security prisons, all because he loves trains a little too much. |
| 2:01.4 | All right, Mary, what you take on this? |
| 2:04.2 | Only in New York City? |
| 2:06.5 | Well, no, all right. |
