Rickey “Fish” Fennell is a Massachusetts guy through and through—and if you somehow miss that fact, his accent should clear things up pretty quickly.

This guy has stories! Rick can’t get off the subject of Rickey’s former career working as a unit guard overseeing 70 inmates at Boston’s maximum-security Nashua Street Jail. During his time there, the jail housed some nationally notorious inmates, including Aaron Hernandez, the Craigslist Killer, and the Killer Nanny. Needless to say, Rick has questions. Lots of them.

Eventually, they make it out of jail and into Rickey’s childhood, which apparently wasn’t much safer. There’s the nun who split his head open with a ruler, the time he nearly got run over by a train, and plenty more adventures of a time gone by.
