Mancow asked Peterson about his love life behind bars. Peterson -- laughing -- said: "I've got alot of buddies who are anxious to wash my back in the showers."
He also the guards were treating him well and called them "professional."
For one moment, the interview turned serious when Peterson talked about being kept in isolation . He called it "lonely" and said he does gets to watch television and read a book every now and then, but that's it.
The serious moment proved fleeting as Mancow said that Peterson's attorneys said that he would be doing a comedy routine for them. Peterson then lauched into a series of so-called jokes.
