	Someone taking fucking photos inside a Dominican Republic jail.
	Now, when's the last time that ever happened?
	So, you guys can go on to Twitter and search it or search it on the internet.
	John McAfee, Janice McAfee, jail, Dominican Republic.
	And you're going to have some very smiling photos of me.
	No goddamn mattresses.
	What's a fucking mattress for?
	You know, mattresses in real life?
	No.
	Sleeping on the concrete floor or on these crisscrossed wires.
	We don't give a flying fuck.
	No, that's the reality.
	So we've got those photos on the goddamn internet.
	He did a little photo shoot there.
	Why?
	Listen, I'm going to tell you where I'm going.
	My exit from this life is right around the corner.
	And I promise you people, between here and that fucking corner will be a thousand lifetimes for the average fucking person.
	End of story.
	Well said.
	How did you get out?
	How did you get out?
	Tell me what happened next.
	Yeah, we were able to get to the lawyers the next day.
	They took us to the head of immigration, and we were able to speak with our lawyers.
	And that's when they discussed that they had to send us back to America.
	There's no fighting it.
	We just had to go.
	And so John got the lawyers to file a brief to first, before they move us anywhere, that we should be able to speak before the judge.
	So we wanted them to hear our case.
	Before they could move us anywhere.
	And so while they were following the paperwork, John had to stall for time.
	And so he did that by faking a stroke while they were counting the money that they were returning to us.
	Yeah, and he had a stroke, so I'm trying to be, you know, emotional, because I know that he's faking.
	So it was, I mean, it was quite the acting job we both did, I think.
	There were Emmys or Oscars giving out for real life acting.
	I mean, real fucking life.
	Definitely, Oscar.
	You're in immigration.
	The head of immigration, who reports the goddamn president of the fucking country...
	It's right there by his side.
	He's saying, listen, I'm sorry, it's very, he said, same order.
	It's muy, muy, muy complicado.
