*SPOILER ALERT*
They share the FULL STORY about how George turned down an offer for freedom to fight in the 1984 Olympics to protect the woman he loved - his transgender cellmate named Crystal.
Doc openly shares how he did not like Crystal when he met her and could not wrap his Catholic country boy mind around the fact that she was a born-again Christian.
Find out what ruined the heavyweight champion John Tate’s career and how he became a prisoner in the same prison where George knocked him out.
Hear how Doc visited Crystal and James Earl Ray when they were both in the Special Needs Prison and how Crystal had a profound effect on Doc and changed his view of her and others.
As Crystal would say, we can “Grow where we are planted.”
