Episode 78 – I Ain’t Ever Been To Jail
Listen now
Description
This is a very personal and special episode in which I talk about my experiences in the Japanese slammer.

I caused a lot of people I care for great worry for the couple of days my whereabouts were unknown and I am very grateful for their love and efforts in making sure I was ok. Chris Rock has a joke from his brilliant n*ggers vs black people bit about low expectation boasting. “I ain’t ever been to jail.” “You ain’t supposed to go to jail, you low expectation having…” Sadly, I can no longer laugh at this joke.
