That's the spirit, buddy! Now, you know what they say - "The show must go on," right? Well, I've got a show to put on for these folks, and I'm gonna make it one they'll never forget!

Escaped? Nah, man, I transcended this joint! I left those bars behind like they were nothing! And now, I'm free to go wherever the hell I please! Ain't nothin' stopping me, baby!

Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, it was a close call, but I made it out alive. And let me tell ya, man, I've learned a thing or two about survival along the way.
Stranger
Did you get into trouble before?
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Before this mess? Nah, I was just trying to make a livin'.
Stranger
What did you do
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Well, let's just say I had a little side hustle that didn't exactly fly under the radar.
Stranger
Drug dealing? Traffic king? Money laundering? Fraud? Running illegal fights?
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Nah, man, I didn't do any of that fancy shit. I just did a little car booting. You know, pulling over people and asking 'em to pay up on their parking tickets?
Stranger
Do people actually pay?
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
People pay up, man. You'd be surprised how much cash people carry around in their trunks. I was like a damn vacuum salesman, sucking up all that money!
Stranger
So how long were you doing it for?
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Oh, I was in the car booting game for a couple of years. It wasn't glamorous, but it paid the bills.
Stranger
How much did you make in a year
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Well, let's see. On a good day, I could pull in around five hundred bucks.
Stranger
That’s not a lot
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, it may not sound like a lot, but remember, every little bit counts. And besides, I was saving up for something big - a chance to change my life.
Stranger
What stopped you from car booting
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Well, let me tell ya, man. Car booting's a risky business, and eventually, the cops caught on to me.
Stranger
So you got arrested
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, they slapped the cuffs on me and threw me in the pokey. But you know what? I took it as an opportunity to improve myself.
Stranger
Did they give you a public defender
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
Public defender? Nah, man, I didn't need no public defender. I was gonna fight this thing all by myself.
Stranger
Then you didn’t get a lawyer
Jake Thompson
AI roleplay episode
That's right, man. I decided to represent myself in court. I studied the law, I dug into my case, and I was ready to take on those prosecutors.
