>> osgood: unzipped of provocative author erica jong. her writing is hat for the faith of heart nor is what she has been known to say as rita driver found out. >> most people who review books write book chat i was the happy hooker of literature. >> that lack of respect for her writing still rankles erica jong who in 1973 became a sensation when she published an audacious novel called "fear of flying." her heroine isadora wing, a writer like jong herself dared to think the same rusty thoughts as generations of male characters. you created the phrase that's gone down in history we're going to call it the zipless f word.
8:31 am
>> we call it the zf on television. >> what is the zf? >> the zf is the fantasy that you see really handsome stranger on a train. you wrap your arms around each other, clothes fly off as if by magic and isadora says in "fear of flying" and i have never had one. now, how did that go from "and i have never had one" to "if the erica jongs of this world have their way, women everywhere will be hopping from bed to bed to bed to bed." did nobody read the book? >> good for you. >> actually more than 27 million people read the book. now nearly 40 years later at age 73 she's back with "fear of dying" this time about issues of

8:33 am
to myself, okay, erica jog has not lost it. she can still do this. >> early on when vanessa going to zipless she meets a parade of meshugenah, is that are so unbelievable. >> your descriptions are fabulous. >> one of them wants to be her personal slave. he says he'll put rocks in her shoes and clean her toilets. and she says, this is not what i was looking for. this is my mother with my older sister. five years before i was born. >> her father founded a successful giftware business. it was an artistic and he can senn particular new york jewish family. >> my parents were nudist,s not officially but around the house

8:35 am
texture of reality. >> do you feel that today a woman writing about sex, bodily functions, all those taboos is still treated differently than a man writing about the same subject. >> without a doubt. we're supposed to be nonphysical creatures when we write. we don't pee. we don't have sexual fantasies. how ridiculous. >> jong has written lots more poetry, novels and nonfiction, including a memoir called "fear of 50" she has a daughter, two grandchildren and dwells high above manhattan. >> we've been living here almost as long as we've been married. when we first moved here ken's parents lived there, that penthouse. >> ken is family lawyer ken burrows, jong's husband of 26 years.
8:36 am
they insist last spouses. what do you think made this one last? >> laughter. loyalty. we crack each other up. in one of our earliest dates we were sitting in a restaurant, and erica said, i'm frightened you're going to getting angry if i write about you and try to stop me from writing about you. >> and? >> i reached for a napkin and i wrote out a general release giving erica permission to write about me and agree that i would never interfere with her doing so. >> how do you like how she writes about me? >> i like how she writes. about me or about anybody else. >> and erica jong plans to keep writing. though it's been four decades since she first made her mark. >> "fear of flying" has become shorthand now in this country
8:37 am
for when somebody is afraid to take a risk. >> that's what i always meant by it. it was a metaphor. it was a melt forefor sex. it was a metaphor for ambition, it was a metaphor for moving beyond limitations. and now i look at the racks of books and half of them say "how to become fearless" and i think, i might have had something to do with that. >> osgood: coming up the dogist has his day.at about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots,
8:38 am
but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.
8:39 am
>> osgood: a short take now from man with a dog's best
8:40 am
elias weiss friedman. his book called "the dogist". >> i can photograph 20 or 30 dogs a day. my name is elias friedman i'm the dogist. can i take a picture of your dog? >> sure. >> when i talk to a dog i try to speak their language f. they want to play with me i play with them. i'll back off a little bit. there we go. when i'm on the ground dogs think that i'm some strange animal. if i start making a noise they look right into the lens
8:41 am
thinking it's my eye. good girl. very nice. i write a blog "the dogist" i now have more than a million followers on social media. i try to put a blog out, in the morning, lunch, evening and night time because i feel like people enjoy it throughout the day. >> who knew you were so photogenic. >> my every day tool. i base them on week '. jersey strips. knee pads are crucial. business cards in here with my
8:42 am
website and instagram handle. >> i'm a big fan of the dogist. i love how he can capture the dog's spirit in one photo, it's quick, fun, brightens your day. >> this is my first dog ruby, black lab. we had matilda, we had a pug i think at one point, whistle. my dad had dark room in the house. i was always curious about photography. i just need lens wipes. when dogs slobber on the lens they get too close they kiss the lens. people can be sort of skittish around cameras, dogs always wear the story on their face. the aspca here in new york we're here to help get these guys adopted. shelter dogs are different, they
8:43 am
may have been abused. weren't treated right. when i go to the shelter i bring a back of bones and give to the dogs. take the photo then allow people from my audience to participate and help support these dogs. i saw a look in his eye. people are always surprised when they hear that i don't have a dog of my own. i tell them, if i had a dog i'd fall in love with it i wouldn't travel any more. when a dog smiles at me it makes
8:44 am
day a little bit better. >> osgood: rough riding we found today on the grounds of louisiana prison and an audience in the grandstands taking it all in.
8:45 am
about. >> prison is a punishing routine. the food, the clothes, the view, nothing changes. life's variety like an inmate's freedom is taken away. but here at the louisiana state penitentiary, nope as angola, one of the most notorious maximum security prisons in the country the monotony of doing hard time is occasionally broken. >> welcome to the angola prison rodeo. >> for one weekend in april and all of the sundays this month, some of louisiana's most violent criminals -- >> and here we go. >> become entertainment. >> we came to see the rodeo. >> spectators from all over fill the stadium, built by the
8:46 am
more than 11,000 people. it's an odd mix, both animals and inmates, released from their respective confinements to dual it out. it's both a crowd pleaser and a bit unsettling. the atmosphere reminds you of a state fair, but then there's the guard towers and razor wire. even the mississippi river fools you. it meanders around the former slave plantation in a very frank quill way until you notice the alligators. this place is never ending stream, you're not sure whether to cheer or jeer when you're here. >> he's digging somebody a grave.
8:47 am
you expect at a regular rodeo. think convict poker. sit nervously at a card table while very restless bull picks out a target. the whole card table at once or he picks the inmates off one by one. the last one standing or sitting wins. >> no one get hurt, no one be injured have good time. it's about a good time. not a brutal thing that happens. >> burl cape has been angola's warden for 20 years, he's well aware that his rodeo can make the louisiana state penitentiary seem more like the roman colisium. >> how is it not taking advantage of the inmates? >> nobody has to do it. nobody, nobody. they want to do it.
8:48 am
how can i take advantage if you want to do it. >> do you have any experience? >> no. never been a cowboy. >> they're all volunteers like first time cowboy bruce smith, career criminal here for murder. >> why do you do this? >> it's fun. i'm trying to get an investigator. >> here it's two cents an hour working in the prison field. but he can earn hundred out in that mud. >> people are coming out to watch you guys get hurt? >> it's not really -- people like to see anything that deals with excitement. >> do you ever have any qualms about putting these guys in the republican without any real rodeo training? >> this is the most important thing, wearing the flack vest, the helmet.
8:49 am
we have hired rodeo clowns, they get the bull to chase him. >> in fact he says most inmates walk away with just minor injuries. for him a few bumps and bruises is what a brief reprieve from the hopelessness of prison. over 80% of angola's inmates will never be free again m. don't even leave when they die they are buried right here inside the prison walls. >> take you away from being incarcerated while being here. >> timothy and paul are both in for armed robbery. >> something you guys look forward to all year? >> yes indeed. >> yes, sir. >> probably not to look foretoward to in here. >> no. >> they don't deserve to have something to look forward to.
8:50 am
most serious. >> i got to try, because corrections means corrections, i'm charged with correcting him. that's my job, it's not torture and torment. >> but the rodeo in his mind rehabilitation, helping to give the inmates purpose. the road yes' trustees served a decade without incident are allowed to sell items they make here. everything from bowls to rocking chairs. >> we'll split that. >> many these interactions are the only time they talk with someone from the outside. >> i've had bunch of them -- i wasn't shopping, they were human again.
8:51 am
>> john has been locked up here for 28 years for kill his wife. >> i keep mine just like that. >> rodeo has given him chance to start a small leather works business from behind bars. >> i had to try to find meaning in my life and purpose for my life. that's what i've done while i've been in cars rated. >> be sure the rodeo does make money. this year event is expected to close to $4 million. proceeds that fund a host of inmate welfare programs that might otherwise be paid for with tax dollars. but the most tangible effect for the offenders is chance to be seen in a more positive light. what is it like to be out there and hear everybody cheering for you? >> it's wonderful feeling.
8:52 am
>> marlon brown, known as tank, has been doing life. he's champion of the toughest rodeo event of all. >> he has taken the 20 times. >> it's called guts and glory. >> here we go! >> try to grab a poker chip that tied between the horns of pretty angry bull. >> this day was not tank's day. he was run over repeatedly. got him thrown into the fence. the chip went to another inmate's hand. he wipes in the arena with a
8:53 am
smile. >> i'm glad you're all right. >> like so many, he had nothing to lose, he'll never be free so why not go for it. what do you think of the oldest prison rodeo in the country, does seem to be no shortage of willing participants looking to feel free even for a few seconds. is it worth the risk of getting hurt? >> freedom, yeah.
8:54 am
you're never too old. >> osgood: the glory days of most aging athletes are well behind them. but not for one steve hartman has been watching. >> in northern minnesota, it's not uncommon to find a guy in
8:55 am
