Speaker 1: You Shouldn't Be Alive. Nick tell us.

7
00:00:26,509 --> 00:00:30,028
Speaker 3: Why other than being shot, stabs, strangled, run over by

8
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:34,029
Speaker 3: a car, or kind of mayhem. I was sentenced to

9
00:00:34,149 --> 00:00:36,829
Speaker 3: death at the age of twenty one for the rape

10
00:00:36,829 --> 00:00:39,148
Speaker 3: and murder of a woman I never met in my life.

11
00:00:39,509 --> 00:00:43,748
Speaker 3: I spent twenty three years on death row in solitary confinement.

12
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:49,149
Speaker 2: Hell of a story. That does a lot of the

13
00:00:49,188 --> 00:00:49,828
Speaker 2: talking for you.

14
00:00:49,869 --> 00:00:52,949

Speaker 1: he said yesterday, So twenty three hours of every day

16
00:00:56,109 --> 00:00:59,549
Speaker 1: he was in solitary confinement as well, and then still

17
00:00:59,749 --> 00:01:02,789
Speaker 1: lives his life with this gratitude. It actually it's really uplifting.

Speaker 1: our chat with Nick will I need to mention really

25
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:20,589
Speaker 1: before this, is that there is going to be a

26
00:01:20,629 --> 00:01:26,669
Speaker 1: massive motion picture being made about his life, played by

27
00:01:26,709 --> 00:01:29,109
Speaker 1: a very very big actor who he would prefer us

28
00:01:29,149 --> 00:01:31,789
Speaker 1: not saying. Yes, that's all you really need to know.

31
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:41,389
Speaker 2: he's a little bit more of an incredible conversation with

32
00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:42,949
Speaker 2: a guy called Nick Garris.

33
00:01:43,869 --> 00:01:47,669
Speaker 1: When you're on death row for so many years, Nick,

34
00:01:48,109 --> 00:01:51,469
Speaker 1: are you living day to day not knowing that you

35
00:01:51,469 --> 00:01:53,549
Speaker 1: know it could be your last day? Or do you

36
00:01:53,629 --> 00:01:54,309
Speaker 1: have an idea?

37
00:01:54,509 --> 00:01:57,709
Speaker 3: No? Man, No, Look I had a hustle going. I

38
00:01:57,789 --> 00:02:00,829
Speaker 3: was selling legal work, I was selling school works. I

39
00:02:00,949 --> 00:02:05,549
Speaker 3: was a doughnut magnet. I was a football a gambling.

40
00:02:06,109 --> 00:02:08,948
Speaker 3: I grew up in death throw. I ran in the

41
00:02:08,989 --> 00:02:11,909
Speaker 3: place man. I did twelve years in a unit that

42
00:02:12,029 --> 00:02:15,508
Speaker 3: the average rate of survival was only five. Man, they

43
00:02:15,508 --> 00:02:18,349
Speaker 3: made me cage fight for money. Look at this, botty,

44
00:02:18,349 --> 00:02:19,749
Speaker 3: I'm sixty four years old.

45
00:02:19,989 --> 00:02:23,229
Speaker 2: You are in radin. You're an extra.

46
00:02:24,749 --> 00:02:28,709
Speaker 3: It's called gundalinga yoga, and I'm a master of martial arts,

47
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:31,229
Speaker 3: that tape streak. One of the most deadly people on

48
00:02:31,229 --> 00:02:34,069
Speaker 3: the street. I ain't dragging. I would never hurt anybody,

49
00:02:34,469 --> 00:02:36,749
Speaker 3: But I had over fifty cage fights.

50
00:02:37,109 --> 00:02:40,549
Speaker 1: Whoa wow in prison.

51
00:02:40,789 --> 00:02:42,909
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were making me fight because I'm six to

52
00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:45,309
Speaker 3: two and I weighed over two hundred pounds. I was

53
00:02:45,349 --> 00:02:47,548
Speaker 3: able to make the money. A lot of the white

54
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:49,389
Speaker 3: kids that were on that brow couldn't fight.

55
00:02:49,869 --> 00:02:53,269
Speaker 1: Oh my, this is just I got white for this movie.

56
00:02:53,469 --> 00:02:58,069
Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, I'm reading here that you you didn't talk

57
00:02:58,149 --> 00:03:00,029
Speaker 2: for two years. What's that about.

58
00:03:00,069 --> 00:03:02,909
Speaker 3: I wasn't allowed to speaking myself for the first two years.

59
00:03:03,149 --> 00:03:06,669
Speaker 3: If they caught you speaking, they came into yourself. They

60
00:03:06,669 --> 00:03:09,229
Speaker 3: put a football helmet on a nurse and a flak

61
00:03:09,349 --> 00:03:13,029
Speaker 3: jacket and four men ran into your cell wearing riot here.

62
00:03:13,269 --> 00:03:15,149
Speaker 3: They beat you down, and then she ran in and

63
00:03:15,269 --> 00:03:17,989
Speaker 3: stabbed in the ash for the needle, and you lost

64
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:19,749
Speaker 3: a week of your life. And then if you talk

65
00:03:19,869 --> 00:03:22,549
Speaker 3: again after that, they put you in the glass bubble,

66
00:03:22,989 --> 00:03:26,228
Speaker 3: which was a glass bricked cell where they kept the

67
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:28,228
Speaker 3: lights on twenty four hours a day and made you

68
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:31,029
Speaker 3: stand up every sixteen minutes for a head count. And

69
00:03:31,109 --> 00:03:34,549
Speaker 3: see you went out of your mind? Oh sorry? Did you?

70
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:35,229
Speaker 3: And so did you?

71
00:03:35,269 --> 00:03:35,509
Speaker 2: And you?

72
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:40,349
Speaker 1: Did you spend time in the glass bubble? Oh?

73
00:03:40,469 --> 00:03:40,669
Speaker 3: Nick?

74
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:43,789
Speaker 2: Oh Mike, I just I.

75
00:03:43,829 --> 00:03:46,469
Speaker 3: Lasked as long as I could. They called with the

76
00:03:46,549 --> 00:03:49,989
Speaker 3: white out. You can't keep going. You keep waking you up,

77
00:03:50,109 --> 00:03:52,749
Speaker 3: and then they beat you and they wake so did

78
00:03:52,829 --> 00:03:56,469
Speaker 3: three days. That was a long record at one point me.

79
00:03:57,469 --> 00:04:00,309
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm sorry. Sorry, just knowing that you were

80
00:04:00,389 --> 00:04:04,029
Speaker 2: innocent as well. I just can't even imagine how hard it.

81
00:04:03,989 --> 00:04:06,549
Speaker 3: Made me so powerful because I didn't belong there. But

82
00:04:06,589 --> 00:04:08,869
Speaker 3: I paid for everything I did as a kid, you know,

83
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:11,389
Speaker 3: all the times I let my mom and dad down.

84
00:04:11,669 --> 00:04:14,829
Speaker 3: I paid for all that, every line, every broken window.

85
00:04:15,389 --> 00:04:18,428
Speaker 3: I made good, you know, And then I got a break.

86
00:04:18,589 --> 00:04:20,989
Speaker 3: You know, No, don't be because I love it that

87
00:04:21,149 --> 00:04:23,669
Speaker 3: I'm still allowed to have a human part that les

88
00:04:23,709 --> 00:04:26,789
Speaker 3: me crying. When you stop crying, there's nothing left, man,

89
00:04:27,869 --> 00:04:31,309
Speaker 3: worry about me. I'm fine, that's fair. I've been through

90
00:04:31,349 --> 00:04:34,269
Speaker 3: somebody there, I know, but look, I'm the same guy.

91
00:04:34,349 --> 00:04:36,988
Speaker 3: I had my six month old baby died in my

92
00:04:37,109 --> 00:04:40,308
Speaker 3: arms in twenty sixteen. I came back from that. That

93
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:43,109
Speaker 3: was horrible. To have a sid's death where you put

94
00:04:43,149 --> 00:04:45,389
Speaker 3: the baby down for a nap and then she dies.

95
00:04:45,509 --> 00:04:48,069
Speaker 3: You know, so I can do so much more than

96
00:04:48,109 --> 00:04:48,949
Speaker 3: death robing.

97
00:04:49,269 --> 00:04:51,069
Speaker 2: That sucks. I'm so sorry.

98
00:04:51,469 --> 00:04:55,349
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't Listen. Life is suffering, and it's you

99
00:04:55,389 --> 00:04:58,428
Speaker 3: don't believe that life makes you beautiful, then you're missing

100
00:04:58,469 --> 00:05:00,868
Speaker 3: the point. I've been through so many things that most

101
00:05:00,869 --> 00:05:03,149
Speaker 3: people being crazy in the head over and yet I

102
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:06,709
Speaker 3: go around the world teaching about neural that let pasticity healing,

103
00:05:06,949 --> 00:05:10,029
Speaker 3: and I get people to stop doing drug, don't hurt themselves,

104
00:05:10,069 --> 00:05:12,189
Speaker 3: come back to being loving. I want to know why

105
00:05:12,789 --> 00:05:16,149
Speaker 3: we're all looking for someone stronger than us to say, hey,

106
00:05:16,269 --> 00:05:18,709
Speaker 3: it's okay. Show me. A man has been broken a

107
00:05:18,789 --> 00:05:21,149
Speaker 3: thousand times, and I can tell you Nick Garris has

108
00:05:21,149 --> 00:05:22,989
Speaker 3: been rebuilt one thousand and one time.

109
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:26,989
Speaker 1: This is just so powerful for people to hear Nick.

110
00:05:27,709 --> 00:05:30,909
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to hear you talk. Everyone needs to hear you.

111
00:05:31,469 --> 00:05:34,029
Speaker 3: Getting this film done so I can go back to speaking.

112
00:05:34,149 --> 00:05:36,909
Speaker 3: I have had the honor. This is crazy. I work

113
00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:40,068
Speaker 3: so hard on my education. Within ten months of my release,

114
00:05:40,509 --> 00:05:43,109
Speaker 3: I was on the stage in the Colosseum of Rome

115
00:05:43,229 --> 00:05:46,949
Speaker 3: addressing twenty thousand people. What a remarkable feat. You know

116
00:05:46,949 --> 00:05:50,109
Speaker 3: what I mean? There I was. I've spoken before the

117
00:05:50,229 --> 00:05:54,149
Speaker 3: United Nations in Geneva, the major universities around the world,

118
00:05:54,309 --> 00:05:58,549
Speaker 3: and I have a platform based on neuroplasticity healing where

119
00:05:58,589 --> 00:06:01,309
Speaker 3: I am proof positive that I can help embrace any

120
00:06:01,389 --> 00:06:06,709
Speaker 3: PTSD because I should be mentally destroyed and yet I thrive.

121
00:06:06,909 --> 00:06:09,989
Speaker 3: I've just written a brand new television and series based

122
00:06:10,029 --> 00:06:13,069
Speaker 3: on my experiences called Kings of the Gallows, and we're

00:06:13,109 --> 00:06:16,388
Speaker 3: having a script produced about it now with the production team.

124
00:06:16,589 --> 00:06:19,749
Speaker 3: I've used every experience of my life for a betterment,

125
00:06:19,949 --> 00:06:21,829
Speaker 3: not a detriment, do you understand.

126
