Chris Rock on Childhood Abuse and the "Safe" Persona

Chris Rock speaks candidly about the "hell" of his childhood, including physical and "rape-ish" sexual abuse. He compares his experience to the film *The Shawshank Redemption*. The hosts discuss how this history of abuse led Rock to adopt a non-threatening, comedic persona to avoid further conflict and intimidation.
