[00:00:09] Yeah. And the girls are not here this. This week.
[00:00:14] Courtney is still in the hospital. She's getting some surgery on something or another. I didn't really pay that much attention, you know, because I. I don't know, doctor.
[00:00:25] I. I don't. I don't know, like, anything that they're, you know, actually doing.
[00:00:29] So I'm like, yeah, whatever, you know, feel better or some. I.
[00:00:35] No idea.
[00:00:39] And so, yeah, they're out there, and my wife is out there with her right now.
[00:00:45] She, like, flew out last minute.
[00:00:48] She's like, hey, can you fly out to come help me? And I'm like, like, I. I can't do anything. But, you know, my wife's like, I will be there. And, like, that's a difference.
[00:01:01] You know, me, like, if my best friend was just, like, having, like, some surgery and it's just, you know, he's not feeling good.
[00:01:08] Like, no, absolutely not.
[00:01:11] Like, what am I gonna do to help you, you know, by being there? Be emotional support, you know, Know. No, I'll call you Now. If you're, like, gonna die, if you're on your deathbed, then, yes, I'll. I'll come out. But, you know, as a man, I'm. I'm not, you know, up my whole day to, you know, come out and help you, But you know, that that's neither here nor there because we did have, you know, Dolly Parton die this week.
[00:01:48] Oh, man.
[00:01:51] It's like. And like, everyone's like. And Tim Curry died. It's like, no one gives a. And then Peter Colin also died. And people like, who the is that Dolly Parton died?
[00:02:03] You know, all these other losers. Dolly Parton is dead.
[00:02:08] And now everyone's sad. And even though people can't name five songs that Dolly Parton dead, it's like, if you're really gonna be sad, it's like, did you listen to Dolly Parton? Have you ever been to Dolly World?
[00:02:20] You know? Did you know all the cool things that she did? It's like, yeah, she's just been around for so fucking long that she's like a household name. And now people are gonna pretend to be sad.
[00:02:30] Yeah, I didn't know the woman.
[00:02:34] That sucks.
[00:02:36] But she hasn't made anything, you know, good since, like, 9 to 5, you know, or I will always love you. It's like, yeah, cool, you know, you did a good job back in the day, you know, you lived a good life and you made it Cool.
[00:02:52] Yeah.
[00:02:54] Like, I went in and looked up celebrity deaths, and it's like, you know, those three, and it's like. Then just like, three others that no one gives a fuck who they are.
[00:03:07] And I'm like, oh, yet no one cares.
[00:03:13] Like. Like, you have to be on the upper echelons of, like, famous people for people to actually give a shit.
[00:03:20] Like, what's funny is I actually have a couple, you know, older friends, and they're like, yeah, I used to be in movies, and they're like, in their 70s, and it's like, oh, cool. And like, I don't even look up the movies because I don't care. I'm like, yeah, you know, still, you know, a cool person.
[00:03:43] Yeah. And like, yesterday, no, it was Friday.
[00:03:52] I went down to a brew fest. Like, I got to Durango and immediately hit a brew fest. And a bunch of my friends are there, and I was getting up on whatever kinds of alcohol.
[00:04:06] You know, they're like, here, try this. Oh, this is a 9% beer. I'm like, yeah, and just unlimited, you know, I made sure to get every penny I could out of that place.
[00:04:17] And, like, I. I stopped by, like, one spot, and my friend Reese is there with me. He's like, yeah, that guy was in Zombieland, like, at, like, one of the vendors.
[00:04:29] I'm like, what?
[00:04:31] I'm like, cool. I. You know, I. I guess neat, you know, thumbs up. But I couldn't give a shit.
[00:04:40] I don't even remember his name.
[00:04:43] I'm like, obviously he's not that important.
[00:04:47] Like, I. I don't even know, like, the main dude's name in Zombieland, which makes me think that I might have some, like, semi famous friends.
[00:04:58] And it's like, it doesn't matter to me.
[00:05:03] I'm not starstruck by it at all.
[00:05:11] And also this week, I decided to do some stupid shit.
[00:05:17] And I went out and got a. I. I won an auction, a government auction.
[00:05:23] I went on to, like, those government websites where they auction shit off. And one of their lots is, like, across the street from where I work. And so I go on and I see an auction for, like, a couple, you know, still weed eaters, like, some really nice ones.
[00:05:40] And, you know, they. They have something vague, photos of this shit, you know, and, you know, it's all used.
[00:05:47] And it's like, all right, you know, you're. You're really taking a risk on anything you buy from these websites. And I knew I was doing this, and so I'm like, sure, I'll throw down $80 for two, you know, 400 weed eaters.
[00:06:06] And so I, I throw in the bid, I'm like 80 bucks. I'm like, hahaha. And I forget about it, you know, because I'm like, obviously I'm gonna get out bid.
[00:06:15] Obviously somebody's gonna be like, yeah, you know, I, I want it more than you know me. So I'm like expecting it to go for like 400 bucks.
[00:06:25] Well it doesn't.
[00:06:27] I get an email after I finish my day saying, congratulations, you won and now you owe us 80 fucking dollars for a couple weed eaters.
[00:06:38] And I'm like, and you know, you click a box to say, yes, I'm gonna fucking pay.
[00:06:47] And I don't want to lose access to it. So I pay the fucking bill and I go and pick this shit up because you know, it's, you know, on my way back home and I just stop in there and give them the paper and my carry. Guys go and like, here's your weed eaters.
[00:07:04] Cool.
[00:07:06] Get them home. And yeah, they are fucked up. I can fix them.
[00:07:10] I got 100 fix them. But yeah, they, they need some goddamn work.
[00:07:17] Oh, and now if I do fix them, I'm gonna immediately sell them. I'm gonna turn around back. Yep, sold, sold. You know, something for like 200 a pop.
[00:07:29] You know, 400 out of 80, that's a pretty good profit I'd have to say now if they don't sell them would be really sad because I don't need three weed eaters.
[00:07:44] And the, the second one that I'm looking at is literally 1 960ammo cans, 10 pallets worth of ammunition cans.
[00:08:03] Now I threw $5 at it.
[00:08:07] $5 for a fuckload of ammo cans.
[00:08:12] It's the highest bid right now.
[00:08:16] And I'm worried that I'm going to win because I, I would have to go rent a truck to take 10 pallets of ammo cans home.
[00:08:31] Like I'd have to, you know, run home, run rent a U haul, you know, take that U haul out, load up all that. I'd probably just go down the street, load up all the, you know, get the biggest U haul I can, load it all up, take it home and just put it all in my backyard and go to my gun groups being like, hey, who wants ammo cans? And I start, you know, just doling them out for like a dollar a piece.
[00:09:01] After five I've already made my money back, you know, plus I have to make the money back for that. But it's like if I get 960 fucking dollars for five, that's a pretty solid deal on my part.
[00:09:16] Now I'm gonna be kind of upset if I do win because it's gonna be a pain in the dick to how I can have to deal with this.
[00:09:29] So yeah, we'll, we'll see what happens.
[00:09:35] And if, if it all works out, it all works out. And if it doesn't, then, and somebody else buys it, I'm like, oh, thank you.
[00:09:49] Because you need a truck to get that.
[00:09:56] All right.
[00:09:58] And then this is gonna be a little shorty episode too. I only have a few things, kind of like a little update, but I've been going through like old news I never covered and you know, I, I found two old stories.
[00:10:18] One's still kind of going on and yeah, we'll go with the Florida one first.
[00:10:31] So there, there's this dude, let's see, Cody Clark.
[00:10:40] He, he received recognition for calling 911 after noticing that Darnell Hairston, a 60 year old registered sex offender, was driving with two boys in his vehicle. And he knew who this guy was, knew that he was a pedophile, called 911 and chased this down until the cops showed up and they're like, please do not follow him. And it's like, if you guys don't fucking deal with this, I'm gonna deal with this and it won't be pretty.
[00:11:16] I love this guy. And he got a life saving award from Flag Flagler County Sheriff's office.
[00:11:25] And it's like, yeah, that, that's exactly how that should go, you know. And you know, Clark was on his way to go fishing at like 6:00am and I think, you know, catching a pedophile is a really good catch.
[00:11:41] Excellent. I love it.
[00:11:44] It's just like some fucking, you know, dude with like a mullet and like a fucking neck tattoo and yeah, it's fucking awesome.
[00:11:54] And I, I love, you know, Florida guys like this. But the second guy that I love way more, Aaron Spencer, an Arkansas father, he, you know, his 14 year old daughter, you know, was, you know, involved in some shit and a pedophile came in the house, kidnapped his fucking daughter.
[00:12:21] And you know, Michael Fossler was a fucking dude out on bond facing more than 40 charges against children.
[00:12:31] And you know, Spencer's daughter, you know, Aaron Spencer's daughter and so comes in, fucking kidnaps this dude's daughter and he notices immediately fucking gets out in his truck and finds him, finds this fucking pedophile and starts like flashing his lights. And you know, it's just chasing him down the fucking road. And he's like, you know what? Fuck it. And he like, you know, Pitmaneuver's them puts him in a fucking ditch, gets out and you know, probably has like a SIG P320 or something and accidentally discharges like fucking 15 rounds into this dude.
[00:13:11] Doesn't kill him at first. And then he gets up and fucking pistol whips him until he does die.
[00:13:19] And it's like. And then Aaron Spencer gets arrested and charged with second degree murder.
[00:13:26] And the, you know, defense team, you know, it was like he was just protecting his daughter.
[00:13:31] And what makes the story even better is that the dash cam SD card that, you know, supposedly had all of the data and everything that happened for everything that went missing, no one knows where the that is.
[00:13:52] It got lost, I guess. And so the charges against Aaron Spencer were dismissed.
[00:13:59] And now Aaron Spencer is running for Lonoke County Sheriff. You know where he lives and he won the the Republican primary with 53% of the vote. And it is a Republican town. So he is most definitely gonna be the new sheriff.
[00:14:23] And he is going to be coming after pedophiles hard in that town.
[00:14:28] Oh, I'm excited. Like I want to move there just to have that guy as my sheriff because he is a fucking hero.
[00:14:38] I love him. I love everything that Aaron Spencer does. If I could go out there and vote for him, I fucking would.
[00:14:45] Like, this is how you should handle fucking business.
[00:14:48] Not, you know, all called the cops and the cops will hopefully deal with business. Now get out fucking, you know, handle your own shit, you know, kill your local pedophile and, you know, everything goes good.
[00:15:00] So.
[00:15:04] And then I have one advice. Thing by Fine Butterfly 1157.
[00:15:12] Should I leave my partner of 13 years after cashing in a hall pass?
[00:15:19] Hi y'. All. I need to talk this through somewhere and I can't do it with my friends, really. I fell out of love with my longtime boyfriend 13 years and we have a kid together.
[00:15:30] It kind of gradually happened. A major factor is a few years ago he talked me into giving him a hall pass. It took a month of negotiating, but I finally agreed. He said being with one person is hard, blah, blah, blah.
[00:15:47] He said if I were ever in a situation, I can have one as well. Like I needed one.
[00:15:52] Never thought I would ever come to that. Years go by. None of us act on said hall pass. He says he is just nice to have it anyway. While on vacation with girlfriends, I ended up meeting someone and having a thing with a guy.
[00:16:08] When I Get home, I tell my partner about it since that was the agreement. To his credit, he reacted okay. A bit jealous, but he was a grown up about it.
[00:16:19] Things were pretty good for a while. Even our sex life got better. But you know, now he says it's his turn to have a fling now.
[00:16:27] The rules are it can't be a long term thing. Can't be a friend, especially my friends.
[00:16:32] He says it's hard for them to make that happen and that I need to help him.
[00:16:39] To be honest, that's where I draw the line. Yay. I found a backbone. Lol.
[00:16:44] He doesn't make any money and I don't want to pay for his dates.
[00:16:48] The more I write, the more ridiculous it sounds. Jesus girl.
[00:16:52] I think years of gaslighting has made me insane.
[00:16:56] Another factor is he's been out of work for five to six years now and all the financial responsibility is on me.
[00:17:03] Not only that, but the mental load of making all the decisions is killing me. From what to have to dinner for where to go on vacation. Everything is on me. For our anniversary dinner we had a fight because he. I couldn't take that. You choose. I don't know.
[00:17:19] Budget.
[00:17:22] Hey Mo. On what the budget is anymore. He's a good dad, a decent partner and all that. Especially you know, I.
[00:17:31] Yes, Mo, I'm trying to read. You are making it difficult.
[00:17:35] Okay, yeah. He's a good dad, a decent partner.
[00:17:43] Especially when I listen to my girlfriend's dating stories. Early 40s. I really don't have it that bad.
[00:17:48] I can afford. I can't afford to support the family. I just don't want to do it by myself anymore. He's agreed to look for a job which be made me super happy a year ago, but it feels a little too late. He's made me agree to this dumb hall pass thing and after that. I'm noticing other guys now and have been hate. Been behaving and not acting on any opportunities that have come up. I don't know what to do. I still love him and care about him, but Pandora's box has been opened.
[00:18:17] Do I leave now while I have a few more hot years left in me? Do we work this out? How bad is it out there in the wild? I hate being the bad guy.
[00:18:28] Girl, you're not the bad guy. You just, you know, stuck with a fucking loser.
[00:18:32] Honestly, like fucking five years and no goddamn job. Like what do you do all day?
[00:18:41] You know, like, you know, if you've been together for 13 years, you know, maybe that kid is like seven, you know, the kid goes to school, Boom, be a latchkey kid. It's fine.
[00:18:54] Yeah, well, just lay down.
[00:18:58] Let's see.
[00:19:02] And then edits and updates. He's been out for work so long, he got laid off from COVID and had health complications. And he's also holding out for a better job. No, just get a fucking job. Any job is better than no money.
[00:19:16] So everyone that says I should have left away left right away. Now after that, he just fell into the scenario. He's fine now. Health wise. Mo, I. I swear to God, Mo, like you, you know, I'm like, at the very end, and you're just like, out here, you know, just trying to be cute. Yes.
[00:19:49] He doesn't play video games or smoke weed.
[00:19:53] He is educated and employable.
[00:19:57] Yeah, I mean, here's really what it is, you know, if you live in like one of these small shit, like retirement towns, you're not going to find any work.
[00:20:08] It, you know, it sucks. Mo, thank you. Go lay in your bed.
[00:20:16] Good girl.
[00:20:19] You know, sometimes you're gonna have to fucking move, you know, Sometimes you're gonna have to be like, okay, you know, I want, you know, good opportunities. You have to move to like a, you know, more opportunistic town.
[00:20:30] You know, move halfway across the country, do something, you know, that's, you know, better for you. You know, if you're like, I live in a town of like, you know, 3,000 people. You're not gonna be making work unless you're really out there fucking hustling.
[00:20:44] If you're out there, you know, doing something that is necessary for the town, but guess what? Everyone else in town doesn't have money.
[00:20:55] So, yeah, I mean, do something or, you know, don't do something, but if you're like, you're just kind of done with this guy, you know, sometimes what he needs is a swift kick in the ass and like, hey, get out there in the dating market.
[00:21:11] You know, stop being his fucking mother.
[00:21:14] And, you know, welcome to the real world, jackass.
[00:21:18] And there you go, you know, he'll either fucking, you know, it's like kicking your baby birds out of the nest.
[00:21:28] You know, if Your kid turned 18 and just stayed at home for another five years doing nothing, and it's like, would you be okay with that? Absolutely not. Just kick them the out. Unless they want to go get a job or, you know, do something with their life.
[00:21:47] You know, if they do have your own disability, then that's another thing.
[00:21:53] But if they're doing good, then they're doing good. If they're doing bad, then, you know, I'm sorry, but you're an adult.
[00:22:03] You've been together for 13 years now.
[00:22:06] You know, if you started at, like, what, 15, you're almost 30.
[00:22:13] So.
[00:22:19] Okay, you're in your early 40s. Yeah. Get rid of them. Get rid of them. I. I'm not even sorry.
[00:22:25] Yeah, this guy sucks.
[00:22:28] The hall pass thing is a red herring. Hair five to six years, no income, asking you to fund its dating life is a real story.
[00:22:42] Yeah, everyone's saying that this guy's a scumbag.
[00:22:47] And the fact that you're saying your situation isn't that bad.
[00:22:57] Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. You know, it. You've been together for 13 years.
[00:23:01] You know, seven is like, you know, when you should be getting married?
[00:23:07] Seven years. Get married.
[00:23:10] And if he's not willing to, you know, commit to you that hard, then kind of walk away.
[00:23:16] But that's going to be it for this week. I will be back in another two weeks, hopefully.
[00:23:25] Everything else is pretty awesome.
[00:23:28] All right, later.
