you know, how he s looking good. looking good, man! okay, i appreciate the compliment. i grew up very poor. i m always this guy from the inner city of cleveland, you know, raised in cleveland. that s who i am. i remember walking to school some days and i would have holes in the bottom of my shoes, you know. my mom would make me wrap my feet in plastic, you know, and i would walk to school like that. i didn t like that. i kind of vowed to myself, man, i don t like this thing. warden ivey really took pride in his shoes. he had so many pairs and names i had never even heard of before. what s your most expensive pair of shoes you ve ever bought? about 600 bucks. alligator. like them wheels? what are they? can t tell you that. i m going to see what brian s wearing. the bomb right here. let s see your wheels. best shoes on the market for walking. and what are these for? styling? strolling.
but about three seconds later, it hit me, all different flavors all at once. oh, i d rather have a broken jaw. oh, that is no, no, no. it tasted like i was about to throw up in my own mouth. god. it literally tastes like vomit. i m not kidding. that s exactly what it tasted like. like i had thrown up in my own mouth. now, jesus. come on, try it. no way. no way. why not? that s what we have a p.a. for. no! but it was at the cuyahoga county correction center in cleveland where our p.a. boggeden blackoff, or boggs for short, would have an unforgettable encounter with the jail s warden eric ivy. warden ivey is a confident guy. and he is the best-dressed man i think i ve ever met. and his clothing and accessories meant everything to him. he was stylish. i ll tell you. many occasions where inmates and staff alike would comment about,
warden ivey was kind of joking about it and other staff members were kind of laughing about it. the fact was, there was a tension there. as you can see here, slightly on the tip there, there s a coat of polish that s been do you know how much those cost? i must go home and correct that immediately. do you have anything to say to boggs? let than the first and the last, boggs. how much are those shoes worth, warden? i can t tell you. they re very expensive. very expensive. slightly more expensive than what he makes. many paychecks. he was a correction officer, you would be getting a crappy detail every day. in the end, you know, a little bit of shoe buff could probably solve the problem. but you know, for the day, yes. he did have a scuff on his shoe. for that day he had to walk around the jail with a scuff on his shoe. you re killing me. when we returned to the jail the next day looking for a fresh start, we discovered the shoe saga wasn t about to go away.
there s walking and there s strolling. i m not walking. i m strolling. sometimes i even float. one of the days we were filming with warden ivey, we had gotten onto an elevator and our production assistant was pushing our production cart. it s a heavy cart. it goes with us everywhere. and as we got onto the elevator all of a sudden i heard some kind of exclamation from warden ivey. i hear behind me, oh, oh, oh, you know and i m like, what? and come to find out, the production assistant rolled over warden ivey s shoe. oh, wow, that is a good scuff. all right, what happened, boggs? what happened? i pulled the cart into the elevator and the warden s foot happened to be under it. wait a minute. oh, it s warden s fault. the issue with this isn t my foot because my foot is fine. the issue is the ferragamos are scratched.
when somebody threatens your family, yeah it kind of hits home. but you got to understand that this is the job and that s something that we have to put up with every day in here. schmidt next aims his insults at warden ivey and his wife. [ bleep ] you ve got to do better than that. you can t get me upset. officers remove schmidt s spit mask and place him in a holding cell until he s ready to be compliant. they re coming. they can t stop me. they made me what i am. rather than let time in the restraint chair alter his behavior as it does for most inmates, schmidt suddenly attempts to escape its bonds. all right.
