Hello, my name is Mary Ann McKeown.

I'm an audio reporter and editor and a big fan of Ear Hustle,

and I just led an interviewing workshop for the Ear Hustle team inside San Quentin.

The following episode of Ear Hustle contains language and content that may not be appropriate for all listeners.

Discretion is advised.

Describe to us what a typical day was like for you. What did you do? Uh, so we'd get up in the morning and,

uh, I surfed every day. Sometimes we wouldn't even go to sleep. We'd be up from the clubs from

the night before, you know, and you lead the clubs at two in the morning, and all of a sudden

it's 4.30 in the morning, you're back to your apartment with some girls, and they split and it's time to go surf. So we would surf every day first thing. And then by about eight or nine in the morning,

you've had a couple hours of surfing in the morning,

and then we'd go back to our places and split up for an hour or so, hour or two,

and maybe clean up a little bit.

We would ride our mountain bikes around town and just go grab a sub

and place to pull downtown or whatever for lunch and head back to the beach.

And then I would club every night.

If you had maybe needed money, I knew I could go rob a bank.

So this is a guy named Spark Plug.

Do you know him?

I don't think so.

I don't think I could.

Okay.

So from his name, what do you imagine he looks like?
