Change on the Horizon but first...
This episode is only available to subscribers.
"It takes what it takes for Each and Every one of us"- that's what they told me
House gone, job gone, vehicle gone, isolation, and a bad taste of disgust is left to linger. In this episode I also recount my heartfelt attempts to make peace with my former employer, including a sincere request for a severance package and a compassionate plea for a donation to an old Battle Buddies Family.
The support from our Daily American community has been nothing short of incredible, and I express my deepest gratitude for your ongoing subscriptions. I discuss the potential changes to the subscription structure along with the fact that 40% goes to Disabled Vets.
Change is on the horizon but first I have a few spin's and some toxins to rid of. Just remember I Will Never Accept Defeat.

Personal Reflections and Future Goals
Speaker 1We are back with the Daily American . All right guys , subscriber-only content . Thank you very much for all the subscribers out there Appreciate it big time . I'm not making too much money off it . I'm still out there riding around and getting it in the Uber . I did upgrade my vehicle recently to a tesla , so I'm not , you know , expending gas money left and right is that even a word ? Expending expenditures ? Who the frick knows ? But , as you guys can see , one of these addictions has not left my side . One of these addictions has not left my side , turns out it's gambling . So I guess what I'm going to do is just , you know , talk to you guys and play little slots here . As far as the just got fired episodes and harping on that , I'll leave it at this . I wrote it's been a few months , about five months in a few days . I 120 days , right , since they let go of the goat , very sad . Close other Riverside browser Whoops , whoops . Which one am I closing ? I guess I'm closing this one , okay , okay , all right . That worked out , all right . Now it's saying close others . Anyhow , 120 days , and this is where I'm going to leave it .
Speaker 1I was talking to a good friend of mine . He said you know what ? Why do you keep harping on it ? Why don't you just let it go , move forward ? I said you know it's tough to let it go when you're still dealing with it , right ? That's why I wanted to end things . That's why I pleaded with the owner of the company to end things peacefully . I didn't want anything , I just wanted my peace . He couldn't give me that , so I wrote a letter and I wrote a little message on the box that said see you soon , andrew , even though he goes by , andy , with a smiley face . Not a big deal . And then inside that box , I returned the laptop charger that I had of theirs . It was our last piece of property and I put together a little severance package letter .
Speaker 1Now , what did I ask for ? I'll tell you what I asked for . I asked for $50,000 in a lump sum and I asked for $5,000 to go to Michael Evans' family . Sergeant Michael Evans Committed suicide . Wow , back . He was my team leader at one point . Just an awesome dude . Rest in peace , mr Michael Evans . Anyhow , that's what I asked for . That's it Now .
Speaker 1The last thing I'll say is my number one pickup line for picking up these contractors in Ohomo was I'll save you some time and money . Time and money . Who doesn't want to save time and money , especially for a renowned company ? Everybody wants to save time and money , even though I would get some shit about that pickup line sometimes , like oh , where's the value proposition ? And all that fucking bullshit . There's no value proposition . When you're fucking building these locations that are dookie , you can't get any business strung in the door . So you fucking call upon me , the man in the industry who gets it done , simple as that . Now , time and money is what I asked to save him this time . So , hopefully , if he's listening , which I haven't seen his subscription pour through the door . So , time and money , save yourself some .
Speaker 1Now , what the fuck are we going to talk about ? If , uh , we're not talking about that , if I'm not harping on that shit , all right . So what we're going to talk about ? Addictions . You guys want to know about addictions . The problem is , every word that I say is transcribed automatically . Therefore , you're going to be able to see some of this . So maybe I'll just wipe the transcripts away and we'll talk about some things .
Speaker 1I deal with Some active addictions , some past addictions , probably some future addictions , but in the meantime Ugh , in the meantime , we are going to hit this play button , I'm gonna put my music back on . Hopefully doesn't mess things up too bad , right , and then we're gonna hit this little . I'm gonna share some with you guys . I'm sure we're sharing earlier , so it's a matter . I wish there was a way to make this freaking . Get rid of , like , this toolbar up here , this tool bag . Get rid of tool bags . So let's see split screen here . To echo I'm a hustler , hustler , alright , I'm getting a little cringeworthy here rapping . Now let me stop . But let's see , I'm just trying to , ah , bang , bang , bang , bang . Are you guys ready ? Uh , uh , are you guys ready ? What am I doing ? Mystery choice can award any . Which one are we going with ? Mystery choice ? Nah , they'll burn me . Oh no , whatever it could be worse , I guess . Whatever it could be worse , I guess , fuck that times 10 would have been nice , huh , this is only 10 bucks a shot , so it's not even a big deal . It's probably going to be a bunker , maybe not , but anyhow , I'm sure this isn't going to entertain you guys , because a lot of you inspire .
Speaker 1Why is he still fucking participating in these vices ? There's a little bonus , damn . It's going to be hard to concentrate too , huh . So what have I been doing since ? It's going to be hard to concentrate too , huh . So what have I been doing since ? Pretty much drugs , sex , rap or rock and roll , and making money . I mean , I need to make money , that's what I do . So I should probably just be the model , for if you don't have a job and you want to make money , do whatever this guy's fucking doing Now . You're not going to get rich off that Again , raw and uncut , but all right .
Speaker 1So we'll talk about the women . I'm sick with these women . Why am I sick with these women ? Oh yeah , not many people know this , but I got a child on the way . Huh , you guys want to talk about that . Nah , me neither . Maybe next week . I just keep putting it off . Mother wants to give birth in my apartment . Huh , I guess I'm a fucking doctor now too . Unbelievable . But the bottom line is I got to get to some healthier habits . It's easier said than done . Look , this joint's a bunker 500 bucks , what a joke . Usually , the last couple spins are all right , we'll see . Sometimes it's a bunker though . Yeah , it'll be alright . Kings Aces . So that's a good one . Just two bands .
Speaker 1So here's the situation when it comes to working for another company again . I had an interview last week with Ma McLean . They're a big boiler manufacturer in the heating and air conditioning industry . So basically , I'd be at the pinnacle of like the oh shit , there's more spins . Huh , the fuck is this ? I didn't know there was going to be more spins . There you go , they're at the pinnacle in the supply chain field . So you got the manufacturers Weill McLean that push down the distributors , right From the distributors who I used to work for , they get down to the contractors and this goes for every industry and then the contractors go ahead and take those brands , take the equipment , take the parts and pieces , fix and replace homeowners heating and air conditioning simple as that . So I'd be working for them now . I had the initial interview .
Speaker 1I don't know if I'm gonna get another interview . Haven't had much luck in the um heating and air conditioning field , but I'm still trying . What are you gonna do ? That's all you can do is try .
Speaker 1I was thinking , though , last night this is completely offset , off topic is that , like I got this kill in the way , right ? I'm going to feel like a complete scumbag if , like , if I don't just stop chasing these fucking women and not chasing them . They fucking chase me . I tell them I just gambled away 400 bands . I got nothing . I'm pretty much broke . No unemployment , nothing . I'm an Uber driver . I have no assets . And uber driver um , I have no assets and I don't want to be with you . That's not going to happen because I have no capacity to actually entertain a relationship , except possibly with the mothers , with the child's mother . But that's unlikely too , because that boring lifestyle just I don't know if it's for me .
Speaker 1Man Sen has me thinking about my old platoon sergeant If you go back and listen to his episode . One more for the airborne ranger in the sky . This dude's a fuck of badass . He's in like Africa right now . I don't know if he's doing high-speed secret scroll shit or just over there keeping the peace and laying low , but God bless him either way . He believes in not polygamy but polyamory , the ability to love multiple , multiple opposite sex , I assume Like it sounds like a grand idea .
Speaker 1I love them all . I love a little bit about I was explaining to one of them last night . I mean I'm talking about , like you know , I wasn't gambling for a few weeks because I didn't have any money at all , so How's my balance ? Oh yeah , I guess the other already . All right , I got you , yeah . So fucking , I don't know if I have the capacity to like To do it , but yeah , I was telling one on the other night she's got two kids and I was just telling her like , yeah , yeah , I love you , I love certain parts of you . I love Jackie . That was my ex of nine years . I love certain parts of her too , but I couldn't be with her long term , forever and just her . I just couldn't commit .
Speaker 1And I feel like a lot of guys struggle with this . A lot of them , not all . Some of them are completely content , but some of us , including myself , we fucking struggle with it . We struggle with it big time . And what do you do ? You're in a marriage now , right , you've been married for a few years . What are you supposed to do ? You tell me the answer . What do you ? Just you , cheat is usually what they do . That ain't the right way to do it , because now you're fucking , there goes your integrity , your honor . You may have problems with God , I don't know . I don't know . You know I'm not a judge , I'm not gonna judge you , but I understand the dynamic and why people do it . I feel like physiologically we are not the same , you know . We want different things out of this life .
Speaker 1Now , I'm not saying I want to fucking love and be in love with all these women , no , but I like the companionship and I like to chase a little bit . I don't know , maybe I'm different . You guys tell me , is it me , am I fucking ruined ? Nah , I'm a deep thinker . When it comes down to it , I think I'm just going to change all the subscriptions to like a buck or two and shut them all down .
Speaker 1But either way , man , the support's been ridiculous . I have one dude fucking paid twice . I'm like , bro , I can't cancel this . Can you please cancel it on your end ? He's like , no , no , I'm not doing that , I'm just like dude . I'll tell you what man I think he knows who . I am not doing that . I'm just like dude . I'll tell you what man I think he knows who I am as a human and I just thank God for people like that that are around me still , you know , because it's like the weasels and all the snakes are weeding themselves out . That's probably God's who .
Speaker 1But again , I'm not living right . Look , I'm fucking gambling . I'm on these pills that I need to get the fuck off . I'm still smoking and I'm not working out that you wouldn't be able to tell . I try to stay semi .
Speaker 1All right , I look like a retard . Let me stop . Did I say retard ? Huh , I shouldn't say that word . This is , this is on the airwaves . No , I really cannot believe that . You know , some of you guys are actually paying to hear this shit . Like Rogan doesn't even charge and he had a ton of clout coming into the game . But you know , he of you guys are actually paying to hear this shit . Like Rogan doesn't even charge and he had a ton of clout coming into the game . But you know , he's a cool dude . I like him . I can't compare to him . He's got millions and millions of fucking followers , fans . He's the second to third Now brain capacity-wise intelligence . I think I'm right up there with him .
Speaker 1I guess where I can separate myself is coming clean with some of these addictions that really plague my life . And no , I'm not sitting here bragging about $10 a shot . Nah , all right , I'll boost it up a little bit after this spin , wrap it up for the last couple minutes and then next week . What I'll do is I think I'm just going to switch it all to because it's getting me confused . What episodes and and then you know , I'm done , I I'm done speaking on , I'm done speaking on that , that aspect of my past , me being fired and this , and that you know I was told Shh Shh , did you just shush me ? All right , not a problem . Oh , another thing the Uber hustle . Check this out .
Speaker 1I worked for like it wasn't that much , it was maybe like four , four and a half hours throughout the night this past weekend . I went and got gas as I turned on the app , bang Off and running from , like you know , maybe like 1030 to like four , something like that . The drive time was actually four , four and a half hours . That's why I say that , but I was out until like 5 am maybe . Um , like 160 bucks , 163 dollars , something like that . I think it was 10 or 12 trips . Anyway , I go and fill up after that .
Speaker 1And again , I was riding around that Maserati which is eats and guzzled , guzzles gas . So I said what's up with these other whips , these EVs or whatever ? And I'm not . I'm not a go green guy , I'm certainly not a Joe Biden fan . I don't want to get into that right now . But Elon , he's all right .
Speaker 1My one buddy works for Tesla . Let me try these Teslas out , so I got one en route . Apparently , the Tesla qualifies for the Premier vehicle . The Premier is basically double of what I would have made doing that for four and a half hours or so . 160 goes to 320 , you know , that's like close to 90 bucks an hour . That's not bad for what . Riding around listening to music and doing what I do anyway , talking to regular folks all around , it's pretty cool . That's really all I got . You guys stay tuned .
Financial Strategy and Gratitude
Speaker 1Thank you so much for your subscriptions . It means a lot to me . I'm going to keep this thing going and we'll see what happens . So we'll see if I decide next week to just charge everybody one or two bucks a pop , and it's either you pay or you don't and you're not listening . One or two bucks a pop , and it's either you pay or you don't . You're not listening . If you did already pay , especially that one guy that paid twice , uh , I guess next month , whenever it charges I don't know the exact date , but it would it would drop down to a dollar or two dollars , whatever it is . So I guess you'd be paying . Just give me all your money , man . Nah , seriously , you guys are always welcome back with a daily American . Thank you so much , um , and let's get through some of this shit together .
Speaker 1Now again , I'm just keeping it real . I'm still involved . I haven't learned . Uh , it's already taken so much for me . It's like what else can it take ? You know it'll probably take more , but if I'm living healthy and going to the gym and , you know , god willing , once this child's born , the good man upstairs has got my back . I don't think gambling is like anything wrong against God . It's not the greed for money , it's not the lust for money . I do it for the entertainment , for the thrill purposes , not not about getting money . I realized it's a fucking scheme . I wrote a paper on it in 2010, . Complete fucking scheme . It's a racket . We're not going to dive into that . You guys take care and I'll see you next .
