00:00Prison was hard for me, I faced a lot of bullying and trauma, it was a dangerous environment.
00:07Yes, the Menendez brothers calling from prison, appearing on our new podcast, Two Angry Men
00:13with Harvey and Mark Garrickos.
00:15And since a lot of people first learned about the Menendez case from Ryan Murphy's show
00:19Monsters, we asked, do you have any opinion about it?
00:22It really did actually move a lot of people to understand the childhood trauma that Eric
00:29and I suffered.
00:30I feel a lot of people were educated about what can happen, even affluent homes behind
00:39walls.
00:40In that way, I think we are grateful.
00:41When I said to them, I said, my impression was the impression of a lot of people.
00:44You were spoiled brats and they owned it.
00:47I was a spoiled brat.
00:49I had deep insecurity issues and tried to hide those issues.
00:53I look back and I'm so ashamed and embarrassed.
00:57You cannot hold the contempt from your face.
01:00This just made me more angry watching it.
01:03I just hated them more and more.
01:0575% of all the comments on this story are positive.
01:08In favor of the brothers.
01:09Maybe they're very convincing sociopaths.
01:11I would agree with both of you if this is something they just said.
01:15It's things they've already done over years.
01:17By many accounts, the brothers have been model prisoners who are fully rehabilitated and
01:22truly want to help other prisoners.
01:24Should we be able to get out, our lives will be spent in working with the prison and doing
01:29the work that we're doing in here, out there.
01:32Can that two things be true?
01:33Like they committed a horrible crime, which by the way, they acknowledge.
01:36And now they seem to be exemplary prisoners.
01:39There are certain crimes for which you're not redeemable.
01:42I'm striving to be a good person and I'm striving to be a better person every day.
01:46The cheesiest thing was when they were like, I have a phrase that I like to use.
01:50Kindness is cool.
01:51Cool with a K.
01:52Stay in jail just for that.
01:56We'll see.
01:57Resentencing hearing is set for next month.
