Speaker AI am your host, David McClam.
Speaker AYou are listening to Exposing the Witch Hunt of LaDonna Humphrey.
Speaker AEpisode 18, the Oasis Management Interview.
Speaker AWhat's going on, everybody?
Speaker AI am glad to be back.
Speaker ASo we continue to finish out this series.
Speaker AIf you heard my programming note, I told you that I have been gone for a while dealing with family issues, a couple of deaths to be exact.
Speaker AAnd now I am back.
Speaker ABefore I begin, I do want to say rest in peace to our dear friend Keith, who is no longer with us.
Speaker AHe was a big part of Hollywood.
Speaker AYou guys may not know his name, but you've definitely seen his work as he was the creator behind those nice big screens that plays all the in memoriams and all of that.
Speaker AHe actually built technology that made that.
Speaker BRun that every company uses.
Speaker ASo when I talk in my last segment about people who actually wins Emmys.
Speaker BFor something they've actually done that is.
Speaker ABettering people's lives, he will be one of the people.
Speaker ASo rest in peace to Keith.
Speaker AThat's where I was handling some business, taking care of these deaths.
Speaker ABut I am back and we're going to continue on on this journey that I have set forth.
Speaker AYes, I already know Javier Lea is back with his shenanigans.
Speaker AI told you about that in the programming note.
Speaker AWe are definitely going to talk about it.
Speaker AI definitely got some people need to be talked about and dragged.
Speaker AI know all of what's going on and a lot of it is because there is a fight that he wants to continue that I'm just not willing to do.
Speaker AAs a podcaster, I know when it is time to produce something and I know when it's time to shut that production down.
Speaker ASo I want you to know, no matter what's going on or what's happening, we are not afraid to steal.
Speaker AOn the five episode course of shutting this down, this is the second episode of that which is the Oasis management interview.
Speaker AJust like with the residents, I want you guys to pay attention to what the management is saying.
Speaker ANo one has forced them to say anything.
Speaker ANo one even knew who I was.
Speaker AWhich you will hear that in this interview.
Speaker AAlso, if you are not deaf, you will be able to hear the emotion in which these ladies are speaking.
Speaker AAnd that is something that you cannot fake or manufacture or somebody to threaten you to do it.
Speaker AIf somebody threatens you to do things like that is going to sound completely the opposite.
Speaker AAs always, unlike my counterpart, Javier labor that has spent the last now going On a year.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker ASo remember that the interview you're going to hear was shot when I was in Arkansas back in February.
Speaker ASince I've been gone for a time, they haven't come out in the time frame I wanted.
Speaker ASo you're going to hear for almost eight months, it has been almost 12 months now, that Javier Lever has been lying to you and has not done the one thing that I've always done with you, which is be transparent.
Speaker AAnd that's not going to change now.
Speaker ASo in full transparency, when anybody wants to run out, say anything, Ladonna Humphrey was present at this interview.
Speaker AIf you want to be mad at anybody, be mad at me.
Speaker ACouple of reasons.
Speaker AOne, everybody deserves to defend themselves.
Speaker AIf this was a court of law right now, do you think that they would have these ladies or anybody else come up that wants to testify without Ladonna Humphrey being able to hear what they said and rebut to that?
Speaker ANo, because she has a right to face her accusers.
Speaker AAnd even though she is not facing accusers here, she certainly is talking to her accusers, which is Javier Lea and his sham of a podcast where he lies on people.
Speaker AThe second reason is I am in.
Speaker BA house full of ladies.
Speaker ALadonna is the director, which means she is the overseer of these houses.
Speaker ANo men are allowed on campus.
Speaker AI got special privileges and passes to be there.
Speaker ASo I wanted her, as a director, to be present so that nothing did happen.
Speaker ANo one could accuse anybody of anything happening.
Speaker AYou just have to take those precautions.
Speaker ANot that these ladies would do that, but let's just say something was to come down and they asked Lana where she was at.
Speaker AShe may be in trouble.
Speaker AShe said, well, I just left them there.
Speaker AYou can't do that.
Speaker AI'm also gonna be transparent with you and say that, yes, Ladonna did speak in this episode to certain things about Javier Leverage.
Speaker AThat is her right.
Speaker ABut as always, I've never lied to you.
Speaker AI will not start now.
Speaker AI asked this at the very end.
Speaker AThis was not staged.
Speaker AThese ladies were not coerced to say anything.
Speaker AThese ladies was not forced to say what they said, even if Ladonna was there.
Speaker AThey even talked to her directly into the episode.
Speaker AWell, it even told her, you don't ever let nobody do this to you again.
Speaker ASo you will hear all of that.
Speaker AIf I had anything to hide, I certainly wouldn't be transparent, now, would I?
Speaker AYou also are going to hear some things in this episode that you've never heard me talk about before.
Speaker AAnd me and Ladonna will Go maybe deeper into some of these things when I interview her, which would be the episode right before the last one.
Speaker AAll right, so without further ado, I'm going to allow you to go ahead and hear the this interview.
Speaker AI want you to listen to everything these women are saying.
Speaker AI want you to listen to what is being discussed.
Speaker AI want you to listen to exactly maybe what the Pretend podcast has done to ladonna Humphrey that you've never heard me discuss before or even on my end.
Speaker AMaybe this gives you a little bit more insight of what happens when you try to destroy somebody's life at the end.
Speaker AI will be back, give you my closing remarks and we will be done.
Speaker AHere it is for you guys, the Oasis of Northwest Arkansas management interview.
Speaker BAll right, so just so we get the purview of meeting with the management now or Voices of Arkansas, Northwest Arkansas.
Speaker BYou guys know I'm David McClam.
Speaker BThe last eight and a half months, I have launched a podcast called We're Not Afraid.
Speaker BThe first season of that is called Exposing the Witch Hunt of ladonna Humphrey.
Speaker BAs you guys may know, there is two evil people that is trying to take ladonna Humphrey down.
Speaker BThere's Anthony Christopher and then there's Javier Leyva.
Speaker BJavier Leva is the host of the Pretend podcast.
Speaker BAs you guys probably know, that Anthony Christopher is a guy that committed Medicaid fraud that ladonna had the courage to blow the whistle on.
Speaker BAnd from there, he has decided that he would do whatever he could to ruin ladonna's life, including her business life, because he, in his words, would do whatever it takes to bring the bitch down.
Speaker BI do have a letter that's not for David that actually says that he told somebody this and it was actually taken by a court reporter and it was stamped.
Speaker BSo we know that it is true.
Speaker BI have to say, allegedly with that.
Speaker BBut because of the way things are going to be, I believe 140% everything that thing is said.
Speaker BBut that's why I'm meeting with you guys, because now we want to kill some rumors on the management end.
Speaker BSome of those, you heard me ask the other ladies, but I'll ask you guys directly as the managers of this program.
Speaker BSo let's start with some of the big allegations that you probably heard me say some of these, but that's come across.
Speaker BAnthony Christopher had put out a petition that stated that there was a lot of things wrong with Oasis of Northwest Arkansas.
Speaker BAmong these things was that the staff was getting heavily paid.
Speaker BLadonna had her ring of friends so Anita and the board is considered to be her ring of friends who was all benefiting from this.
Speaker BAnd I'll ask you these one by one, but I'm just giving you the premise of what they are.
Speaker BThe houses are very unclean.
Speaker BThey're overrun.
Speaker BI think at one point they even tried to say that she couldn't legally own the two houses there.
Speaker BWe got all that killed.
Speaker BThere's men here that the women feel unsafe, that there is no organization.
Speaker BAs far as ladonna doesn't know where anyone is.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BSo basically what they're saying is, you guys can.
Speaker BResidents can roll in here and then roll out in the middle of the night and nobody will ever know it and they'll go somewhere and what.
Speaker AYeah, I know this sounds far fetched, but these are things that were said.
Speaker BThey actually went as far as going to the district attorney with these.
Speaker BOkay, so that's why some of your visits started to happen.
Speaker BNow, the one thing I would tell you is ladonna or Anita, nobody from the staff has ever said, don't come.
Speaker BThey've actually pretty much said, whoever wants to show up, show up.
Speaker BSo that's the basis.
Speaker BSo I'll ask you guys some questions, but that's what we're dealing with.
Speaker BThese are just not all.
Speaker BI mean, it comes down to money taxes.
Speaker BHe cried for the last year almost that there could be no taxes.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker BThat they wouldn't produce taxes.
Speaker BAnd if you ever go back and listen to my podcast, episode one, dude, you would see that I laugh at a lot of things because I'm like, dummy, this is how the IRS works.
Speaker BIf you walk into her office at Oasis and say, I want a copy of these tax forms, she had by law to give them to you.
Speaker BBut they wouldn't do that.
Speaker BThey just want to belly ache and part of my friends bench because they felt like that ladonna and Oasis should come to their whim, bow on their knee and say anything to give you.
Speaker BBefore I ask you the questions, I will tell you this about the director, ladonna, before all of this started happening.
Speaker BAnd I think this is very important for you guys to know this.
Speaker BIf you've listened to the pretend podcast or heard any of it, especially the two ladies that went on the show and basically lied, I was called if you listen to episode three, I believe, because I told Javier Levy, if you go in live on anything I said, I will produce my whole entire interview.
Speaker BLadonna gave him several names to call.
Speaker BI was one of them.
Speaker BI was in my car with My wife.
Speaker BAt that time, he tried to have me at a disadvantage because he knew I would not be home.
Speaker BMy wife was facing surgery, but my wife had the wherewithal to turn her phone on.
Speaker BShe goes, I don't trust this guy.
Speaker BSo I have a holding recorded.
Speaker BHe came with certain accusations about her ex author.
Speaker BHe has accusations about how things was going with Oasis.
Speaker BHe asked if I knew anything about house fires and things of that nature.
Speaker BI told him what I knew.
Speaker BI told him that, no, this is not true, that Elisa Lockhart was just trying to bury her along with this other guy.
Speaker BBut at the very end of that, I promised him.
Speaker BI said, because I felt like he was going to do something he shouldn't do.
Speaker BAnd I said, if you do this, I'm coming for you.
Speaker BBecause the way that her case is with the whole entire thing dealing with Medicaid fraud, she can't talk about this guy.
Speaker BAnd so they felt like the ladonna had no voice.
Speaker BAnd I waited about a month before I ever launched anything.
Speaker BSo I want you guys to understand that none of the stuff you've heard or will hear or have heard is true.
Speaker BI have all of the documents, I have all of the evidence that she sent to Javier Leyva that proved all of her innocence, including people that she should have talked to in various episodes of that podcast.
Speaker BI have talked to several of them.
Speaker BI've interviewed a few of them.
Speaker BAnita being one of them.
Speaker BOkay, so just want to put it out there.
Speaker BShe did none of this stuff.
Speaker BShe is perfectly innocent.
Speaker BI have all of the evidence.
Speaker BIf I needed to prove that to you, I don't think I need to, but I wanted to let you guys know that, so.
Speaker CBut when the podcast first came out, everybody was, what's going on?
Speaker CIt's none of my business if it doesn't affect what's going on here.
Speaker CI know that woman.
Speaker CI know what she does for us.
Speaker CI know this program.
Speaker CSo everything that was said on the podcast is none of my business, because I know her and I know my.
Speaker BHome in a lot of facets.
Speaker BAt the beginning, it didn't deal with Oasis.
Speaker CRight.
Speaker BProblem was as.
Speaker BAs the podcast went on and the effect that they wanted to have was not having the wild part with me.
Speaker BSo this would have been done in three episodes until I got told.
Speaker BLadonna.
Speaker BYeah, from doing journalism for as long as I have, I've been podcasting almost nine years.
Speaker BThis was supposed to be done in three shots.
Speaker BAnd out of that three shots, these things should have happened.
Speaker BHer marriage should have Crumbled.
Speaker BHer kids should have nothing to do with her.
Speaker BAnd at the end of it, they wanted her to kill herself.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BSo this is where it was.
Speaker BThey didn't feel like she had a voice of anybody that could come and say anything because they felt they had it wrapped up.
Speaker DRight.
Speaker BAnd that's where I came in.
Speaker BSo the parts of it with you guys is let's talk about ladonna as the director.
Speaker BFirst of all, before we get to that, we won't mention the names, but you guys do know that there's two ex residents that did go on his show.
Speaker BOne of them actually went on what he called YouTube Live.
Speaker BHe did a live and had her there prominently.
Speaker BAnd the lies that I had heard, because from walking this, it was totally a lie.
Speaker BI think the girls in the live and said that pretty much ladonna had kicked her out along with her children, wouldn't let her back in the house.
Speaker BThat she was mean and that she was evil.
Speaker BThat there has been a lot of times that not only has she abused other women here, but she also was a subject of that abuse.
Speaker BAny abuse of any kind or anything that the ladies you've heard this episode said is any of a truth.
Speaker ENo, I think Sam Perry and I are the only ones that were here for that particular.
Speaker COkay, yeah, I've heard there was a podcast.
Speaker CI have no desire to even know what was said on it because, like, she said, like, she's done nothing but help me.
Speaker FLike.
Speaker BSo I guess it's ask this question because I've been battling with my friend ladonna for a year to convince her that everybody in the world, because I understand how podcast stats work, does not know about this podcast.
Speaker BSo how many of you guys have actually listened to the Pretend podcast for like two seconds?
Speaker FAnd I did it just.
Speaker FI didn't know about it until ladonna and the board came to campus to bring it to our attention.
Speaker FShe said, this is what's going on.
Speaker FThese are the accusations that they're making.
Speaker FAnd, I mean, she gave everybody an out.
Speaker FShe said, if you don't feel comfortable here or if you don't feel safe here, let me know and we will find you somewhere to go.
Speaker FI will help find you a place to go.
Speaker CThose are almost her exact words.
Speaker FAnd, you know, I.
Speaker FI'd be lying if I said for a second, my heart didn't stop because I just closed my DHS case.
Speaker FI was just getting my kids, you know, on a regular, consistent basis.
Speaker FAnd it did.
Speaker FIt scared me for a minute because I.
Speaker FFrom November to August, I hadn't had many kids for six hours a week.
Speaker FSo I did get a little scared.
Speaker FBut then, you know, it lasted all, like, two seconds because then I remembered everything that she'd done for me to get me to where I was in that time.
Speaker FBut, I mean, curiosity killed the cat.
Speaker FI was into it for, like, two seconds because I.
Speaker FIt made me mad.
Speaker FSo then I just shut it off because I don't understand.
Speaker FI mean, I do understand why those things were said.
Speaker FAnd me personally, I think that it's.
Speaker FThey were.
Speaker FI don't want to word this.
Speaker FThey were mad that they weren't fit for the program and that they were told that they had to leave or that they left.
Speaker FWhether they were dismissed, they left on their own, they left on good terms, they left on bad terms, whatever the case may be.
Speaker FBut because things weren't going the way they wanted them to go in that moment, rather than learning from whatever mistakes they made and correcting them and moving forward, we're just going to sit there and fester because hurt people, hurt people.
Speaker FAnd so, you know, they had all these things going for them.
Speaker FThey had this future planned that they thought they were going to get, and it didn't turn out that way.
Speaker FSo, you know what?
Speaker FYou hurt me, so now I'm going to try and hurt you.
Speaker BOn the flip side of that.
Speaker BBesides, Anita, did anybody know about my podcast?
Speaker BWe're not afraid.
Speaker CI'm going to be completely honest.
Speaker CI googled your name as they told me that you were coming here, and that's the first time I even knew anything about you knew anything about any of it.
Speaker BSo the point I wanted to prove there is, yes, I've been doing national podcasts for a while, but, like, I was talking to La Donna, Everybody hasn't heard of Pretend Podcast, and everybody hasn't heard of We're Not Afraid.
Speaker BIn her mind, there's millions of people that heard this.
Speaker BNow, of course, she would feel that way because these people have taken ads out right in the Arkansas area.
Speaker BSo there's a lot of people and businesses that not only deals with her, but also with Oasis that's heard this.
Speaker BBut I sat down with her because he's telling everybody, if you ever listen to the show that, oh, this is the best series ever ran.
Speaker BI'm the number one podcast in the world, and I've got all these accolades.
Speaker BI looked at Donna last night and said, no, he's not.
Speaker BI said, you know, one person that actually gets over a hundred thousand listeners every time he puts an episode.
Speaker BIf you go to a podcast chart.
Speaker AWhere does he sit?
Speaker BHe's number three.
Speaker BIf Javier Leva was indeed in the top, he would be in the top 10.
Speaker BIt's not even the top 100.
Speaker BWhich means that the means of people that he thinks he's reaching.
Speaker AHe is not.
Speaker BBut you guys all probably heard there's a Reddit thread.
Speaker BThe Reddit thread is what keeps him alive.
Speaker BBecause those are the people that wants to believe this, because like you said, hurt people, hurt people.
Speaker BAnd all of these people don't research into them, has problems.
Speaker BOkay, the young lady that went on, Anita, because you probably would know, being that you mean the disciplinarian, did they have any disciplinary problems here at Oasis which caused them to be dismissed from the program?
Speaker EContinuous.
Speaker ESo many different things.
Speaker EFailing drug tests.
Speaker EThat was.
Speaker EI can't remember if it was five or six consecutive.
Speaker EFive, yeah, five.
Speaker EConstantly.
Speaker ELike she just.
Speaker EShe wasn't doing her meetings.
Speaker EI mean, there was.
Speaker BWhat else was there?
Speaker EShe got upset because she was face down and that means that she wouldn't be able to keep her phone overnight.
Speaker ESo she chose to leave.
Speaker EShe was not dismissed.
Speaker EShe chose to leave here.
Speaker BThe other thing that was said by this particular individual we speaking about was that when she was put out, she was put out with no transportation, no money, nowhere to go.
Speaker BIt has been alleged, and I'm going say alleged here, but then I'm going to say unalled, because I have it on two good sources that this happened.
Speaker BOne, from an actual lady that was offered this and two, Javier labor told him himself doing the YouTube live.
Speaker BThat's why I would say criminals or people that lie can't tell the story straight twice.
Speaker BIt's alleged that he was giving or paying money to these women to appear on the show.
Speaker BThere was one lady that reached out to me that said, yes, this did happen because Javier Laver and Anthony Christopher offered him.
Speaker BOffered her $500 to appear in the show.
Speaker BShe did not take it.
Speaker BOne, because she said, well, do you know what $500 would do to any addict?
Speaker BBut the main reason was because that she was not going to partake in any lies against Adonna Humphrey.
Speaker BAdonna did so much for her that she pretty much told them to kiss her ass and she moved on on the live with the young lady that was there.
Speaker BHe actually told him himself at the end, because at the end he says, well, how's your apartment doing?
Speaker BUnlike anybody else, we reached out and we gave you money so that we would be able to put you up in the room and we fed you.
Speaker BAnd that came out of his own mouth was no longer makes it allegedly right.
Speaker BThese women, when they left, did you feel like they were in active addiction?
Speaker BOkay, yes.
Speaker BIn your opinion and the rest of the staff, what do you feel like the damage was done by Javier L.
Speaker BAnd Anthony Christopher offering them and giving them money to show up to lie?
Speaker ESo I said this to you before, and I'll say again, it's to me, I perceive it as he's giving her this money, but he's.
Speaker EHe's dangling drugs in front of her because she is an addict.
Speaker EAnd you give somebody that.
Speaker EThat is in that mental state and they're not working their program, they're not using their support system, they're not reaching out, and then they choose to leave the only place that is supporting them, what are they going to do with that money?
Speaker EBecause they don't want to feel, they want to forget.
Speaker EAnd I know her and I.
Speaker EAnd I mean, I.
Speaker EI hope she's doing well.
Speaker EI still pray for her all the time, but that doesn't.
Speaker EThat is a really shitty thing to do.
Speaker ETo be blind.
Speaker EReally shitty thing for him to do.
Speaker EAnd to tarnish somebody's name and enable an addict in that manner.
Speaker EShame on him.
Speaker EShame on him.
Speaker BAnyone else have a comments on that?
Speaker CIs that it?
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker CI mean, there's a lot of things in my addiction I would have done and speaking on somebody's name, I mean, it would have been the easy thing to do.
Speaker CAnd, and to the most undeserving person.
Speaker CBut.
Speaker CBut in your addiction, you don't think about who's deserving.
Speaker FLike that's your need.
Speaker CThat's all you care about.
Speaker CAnd, and yeah, shame on him.
Speaker ESo what, the next time I cheat also given an opportunity to go get a blood test done because she said that our tests were faulty and five and six tests are not faulty.
Speaker EThey're just not.
Speaker EAnd she chose not to go get that blood test.
Speaker EShe kept making excuse after excuse after excuse.
Speaker ESo if you're not using and you're being told that you'll be reimbursed for that blood test, you're going to go get that blood test.
Speaker ESo she chose.
Speaker EShe chose to leave.
Speaker EShe chose because she knew that she was doing wrong.
Speaker BAre you guys aware out of the research that I did that the other young lady was actually very active?
Speaker BShe was freshly doing drugs and she was living.
Speaker BLiving in her car.
Speaker BWere you guys aware of that?
Speaker FNo.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BSo if you guys ever listen to my show, I was Very pissed on that episode.
Speaker BI actually called the murderers and I said that they should be ashamed because they gave her $500 to put in her arm.
Speaker FYeah.
Speaker BFrom what I understand, the girl is still very alive.
Speaker BBut my point was you would want somebody to be slandered so hard that you're willing to give somebody who by looking at this person or these two, you can tell they're very active addiction.
Speaker BSo you can give them 500.
Speaker BDo you think they can go buy groceries with that?
Speaker BNo, no.
Speaker BThey can go score drugs on that.
Speaker BSo I was very pissed in the episode.
Speaker BI had to calm myself down.
Speaker BBut I.
Speaker BMy daughter, my oldest daughter is also an addict.
Speaker BHer drug of choice was pills.
Speaker BAnd I walked through with her through all of her recovery.
Speaker BShe's been sober now about five years.
Speaker BBut I just.
Speaker BIt flashes back to my eyes of what if somebody would have did to my daughter?
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BLooking at you now, you're carrying with child.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BSo he wouldn't have cared if you had a child and if you were putting things in your arm, here's 500 just to come and do this.
Speaker BAnd that's the alleged part of that, which I believe that is true.
Speaker BAnthony Christopher paid Javier labor.
Speaker BBecause if guys don't know this Ladon and I didn't even know who Javier labor was, okay.
Speaker BNow he's this big Emmy award winning journalist.
Speaker BNever heard of him.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BDidn't know if his.
Speaker BOf his podcast until the day that Madonna called me and said, hey, this guy named Javier labor called me.
Speaker BHe's going to call you.
Speaker BSo there was no skin off our backs.
Speaker BWe didn't know him.
Speaker BHe's getting paid to do this.
Speaker BThat's why this is here.
Speaker BAnd ladonna Humphrey is the target.
Speaker BSo those are the two young ladies supposedly I was supposed to either nail in the coffin for Ladonna.
Speaker BAnd this is what's kicked off a lot of stuff around Oasis, because now they have two Edge residents on there saying, well, this is what I experienced.
Speaker BBut on the other side of that, you can imagine, nobody ever said, well, what did you do to cause this to happen?
Speaker BThey just ran with what the lie was, and that's what they paid her for.
Speaker BThey didn't want her to come and tell any truth.
Speaker BThey want her to lie on that.
Speaker BLadonna Humphrey as a director first.
Speaker BIs there a board here?
Speaker BIs there somebody above ladonna?
Speaker CYes, there's a board.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BIs any of you or the ladies allowed to go directly to the board if you have a problem with ladonna?
Speaker CYes, Absolutely.
Speaker BHas there any, any time that you've asked Donna a question that she wasn't unsure of or needed to get the board's approval and told you she didn't to do that before answering you?
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker CYes.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BIs she very organized?
Speaker BYes.
Speaker BYes.
Speaker BCan you tell me about any system that you guys have in place here that keeps track of the women that are here?
Speaker CWe have Life360 on the phone.
Speaker CWe have sign out sheets at both houses.
Speaker CLike it's.
Speaker CAnd mainly Life360 is for safety too.
Speaker CIn the next 20 minutes, I'm about to go count and make sure everybody's here on campus and find out where everybody is if they're not on campus.
Speaker BSo there is an individual head count as well?
Speaker CYeah, we do count every night?
Speaker DEvery person.
Speaker CTwice in a hat.
Speaker FYes.
Speaker BSo you guys are aware that it's been stated that there is no security or surveillance?
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker CThere's a camera.
Speaker CThe camera there, that's some at the other house.
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker BYou're also aware that according to Javier Lever and Anthony Christopher in this long sheet, they wrote to a district attorney that Ladonna has no clue from one hour to the next of where anyone is.
Speaker FThat's a.
Speaker CThat is a multi.
Speaker CAlso we have to send her our work schedules so she knows when we're at work and stuff like.
Speaker CYeah, no, that.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BSo the live.
Speaker BSo I knew about the live360 because Madonna told me this about a.
Speaker AShe goes.
Speaker BI don't know why they said this.
Speaker BWe have live360.
Speaker AOh, you electronically can track people and.
Speaker BTell me more about this.
Speaker ADid not know, though.
Speaker BSo this is the first I've heard.
Speaker BDid not know there was a head count.
Speaker BYeah, so.
Speaker BSo now that's double.
Speaker BYou have live360 and we have a head count so we know everybody's here.
Speaker BWhat is the protocol if you do a head count?
Speaker BYou supposed to have 16, you 15.
Speaker CThat we automatically reported and check on ROI.
Speaker C360, find out where that person is.
Speaker CAnd if we can't find that person, then we alert the Donna and alert and go from there.
Speaker BHas anybody ever gone missing that you guys know of?
Speaker CYes.
Speaker BWhat happened when that person went missing?
Speaker COh, we all scoured the neighborhood, walking up and down the streets, searching for her, calling everybody that we could possibly call.
Speaker CWe notified the police, did everything possible to try to locate her within our means and make sure that the police knew what was going on and tried.
Speaker ETo find her that way too.
Speaker BWas it necessary at that time to alert Ladonna that this Young lady was gone.
Speaker FYes, yes.
Speaker BWhat was ladonna's response to that?
Speaker CShe said, call the police.
Speaker CAnd she was actually, I think she was.
Speaker CYou were willing to come out here to help us look for her also?
Speaker CYes.
Speaker DYeah.
Speaker EThis is the first time hearing that because I was not on management at the time.
Speaker EI was a baseline.
Speaker COh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker ESo that's how that shows you, like confidentiality.
Speaker ELike, I had no idea about that.
Speaker ELike, the young lady, very high, she.
Speaker CHad gone out, she had left and got drunk and one of our other managers actually drove all the way to Fort Smith to pick her up, brought her back to campus and then the young lady just disappeared from the house.
Speaker CShe told everybody she was going to take a shower.
Speaker CAnd I guess apparently she had had another phone on her that wasn't the phone that we had set up with 360 and everything and just kind of wandered on out.
Speaker BNow neither.
Speaker BWhen you say.
Speaker BIt goes into my next question.
Speaker BYou said you were a phase one at the time.
Speaker BHow many phases are there here?
Speaker FThree.
Speaker EThree and then graduates.
Speaker BThree and then graduates.
Speaker BSo here's the other thing.
Speaker BGuys going to laugh at this.
Speaker BHere's the other thing that they wanted to write up to the da, which I laugh because being that I had a daughter that was in one of these homes and I've actually been inside of psych wars before in phases is how you graduate and you get more responsibility.
Speaker BThey had a big problem that addicts, or ex addicts, as they want to call it, was in charge of management of the house.
Speaker BFrom what I understand, in a sober living house, this is the protocol because the fact that they want you guys to move up, have some type of responsibility, maybe teach you how to live a life outside of this.
Speaker BSo to all you guys knowledge, is this something that regularly happens in any sober living home with faces?
Speaker EYeah.
Speaker CAs far as like the.
Speaker CThe phases, like they have different sets of.
Speaker CLike I know.
Speaker DOf two different.
Speaker CLike they have like you have your certain timeline, you have like your 30 days that you're on restriction, then you're 60 days, then you're 90 days.
Speaker CWe have the phases a lot of.
Speaker CThere's a couple other ones that have.
Speaker BPhase they call something.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker CThen eventually you do move up to some form of leadership because how.
Speaker CHow can we be helped unless the person understands us?
Speaker CYou know, if.
Speaker CIf there's not somebody here that's been through what we've been through, if it's somebody, some Tom, Dick or Harry off the street that doesn't know anything about addiction or abuse, or anything like that.
Speaker CTrying to come in here and tell us how to live our lives.
Speaker DMost of us are going to.
Speaker CYeah, I've been to another Sugar living house and they have phases just like we do.
Speaker CThey have a house manager that's an ex addict.
Speaker CThey have an office that's run by ex addicts.
Speaker CIt's the same system.
Speaker CThe rehab I went to, every single one of the counselors was an ex addict.
Speaker DYes.
Speaker CThe, the, the, the person, the admissions officer there was did nine years in, in prison, you know, for drugs that we, we help.
Speaker CWe keep what we have by giving it away.
Speaker BWell, that's why I laughed at that, because what you said is absolutely true.
Speaker BBeing, you know, I told you guys I was abused as a kid.
Speaker BWe had to.
Speaker BI went to psychology and there was a group of us one day and we felt like the person that was talking to us was somebody.
Speaker BShe's never been abused, never been domestically, never been as a child.
Speaker BBut she has a piece of paper that says, I know what you're feeling.
Speaker BAnd we all turned our chairs around to each other and kicked her out the circle because we said, only us, only we know what it's like.
Speaker BWe're not going to listen to somebody that has a paper to say, I'm paid to tell you.
Speaker BYes, but that's what, you know, I went to Hill and I said, this is how it works.
Speaker BThat's why you said on your interview, I can leave.
Speaker BI'm here because I choose to be here.
Speaker BAnd from what I've seen, you guys all run this place very well.
Speaker EI'm very transparent with every, every individual here.
Speaker EYou know, I, I don't hold anything back them, I hold the book with them.
Speaker EIn that aspect, as she was talking about, you know, every place, eventually you're, you know, you're in some sort of leadership role, whether you have a title or not.
Speaker ELike you, you're guiding each other in these places.
Speaker EAnd so it's, it's nice to have people running alike, the managers that have went through it.
Speaker DYou know, sweetie, a couple things I wanted to add is that when I first took this position seven years ago, I did go to the board and say, hey, I think we should implement a system where we have leadership from within the house because I've never been in addiction, and it may be hard for them to take orders from me and uphold the handbook.
Speaker DSo we started doing this, then the board voted and we started doing that.
Speaker DAnd one of the sober living houses that opened after us that's associated with drug court Took a lot of what we do.
Speaker DThey've put their own twist on it, but I've actually helped them with their handbook.
Speaker DI help them.
Speaker DI help answer questions.
Speaker DSometimes their director calls me because I've been a director for so long.
Speaker DSo there is that, because I don't have that history, but I get continuing education every single year.
Speaker DThe women can.
Speaker DThey'll tell you this.
Speaker DThe managers.
Speaker DAt any time somebody has a prescription they're getting filled and they're going to send it to me, I can tell you immediately what class of drug it is, if they can have it, because I have to be certified in those things.
Speaker DThat's something I do.
Speaker DAnother thing that was said on the podcast is that I sit around and look at Life360 all day.
Speaker DAnd I'm going to let you guys answer that.
Speaker EShe asked us, is there any managers at home?
Speaker CYeah, she asked that today.
Speaker EShe literally took the time out type that.
Speaker EBut you have it as on in your phone.
Speaker EBut yeah.
Speaker ENo, she does not.
Speaker BI.
Speaker CThat's the second time she has that.
Speaker EShe looks at.
Speaker EShe looks at it, but not.
Speaker EThat's our job y here to keep track.
Speaker BSo if you guys didn't know this, she can shoot me later.
Speaker BBut I think it's important to ask you guys this.
Speaker BYou guys first.
Speaker BI ask this, you guys all feel that Ladonna is a good director.
Speaker CYes.
Speaker BIs there anybody else that you rather work under or four for this house, other than Ladonna?
Speaker BSo how would you feel if I was to tell you that there has been several different times, at least three, that because of this, Madonna had come to the conclusion that she needed to resign from Oasis.
Speaker BNow, I talked her out of at least once or twice of those times, but when she came to me, she says she had to get out because she didn't want to drag down the house.
Speaker BShe felt like because of the lies that was reported here, she had no way out of it and that if she resigned as the director, then that would go away and take it off of the owners, off of you.
Speaker BSo any funding that you guys may lose or anybody want to help, she will be gone.
Speaker BNow, the board overwhelmingly said no.
Speaker BI think they even took her resolution and ripped it up.
Speaker BBut as the management team here, if you did not know that, how does it make you feel that she has contemplated that?
Speaker BAnd that's how far this podcast has come.
Speaker EI did, though.
Speaker CThe captain's supposed to go down to ship.
Speaker DYeah.
Speaker CSo that makes me sad.
Speaker FYeah, it's that it.
Speaker FThat's heartbreaking.
Speaker FBut it's understandable.
Speaker FYeah, I understand her thought process and thinking that, you know, she wants to continue to save as many women as she can.
Speaker FSo if by her stepping down or stepping away keeps the doors open, then, you know, that's what she's gonna do.
Speaker FBut what she doesn't understand is that if she steps down or steps away, it's.
Speaker FIt's not the same.
Speaker BIt's not the same place.
Speaker FYeah, like, it's.
Speaker FIt's.
Speaker FYou know, I.
Speaker FI don't have.
Speaker BA.
Speaker FLot of history with sober living.
Speaker FThis is.
Speaker FThis is my first one.
Speaker FI've never done rehab.
Speaker FI.
Speaker FSo I don't.
Speaker FI don't have the comparison that a lot of other women have.
Speaker FBut I do know that she's.
Speaker FShe's believed in me and she's pushed me when I wanted to quit.
Speaker FSo I was there.
Speaker FYou know, I.
Speaker FMy DHS case did not go the way it's supposed to, you know, involve reunification.
Speaker FAnd I went to court one day thinking that it was just going to be a normal update, and I walked out, and I was like, speed.
Speaker FThat was it.
Speaker FI was done.
Speaker FI messaged her and I said, I don't.
Speaker FI said, I don't want to do it no more.
Speaker BI don't want to do it.
Speaker FI just lost my kid, and I don't want to count.
Speaker CMine's about to go off, too.
Speaker FI wanted to quit, basically, like, I was done.
Speaker FI was going to come to campus and pack, but, you know, she wouldn't let me.
Speaker FAnd she said that we were going to get through it together, and that's what we did.
Speaker FSo we're wanting to step down and step back is understandable, but it's.
Speaker FIt would do our harm anyway.
Speaker FAnd it's between her and Anita.
Speaker FThey're the ones that.
Speaker FThey hold the glue together.
Speaker FYeah, they just.
Speaker FThey do.
Speaker FThey hold it together and they.
Speaker CThey're so sticky.
Speaker CThey hold the food together.
Speaker FIt's.
Speaker FIt's really uncanny and almost creepy how they're, like, on the same wavelength sometimes, but it's just.
Speaker FYou can't.
Speaker FYou just can't.
Speaker FSo, I mean, her feelings are valid.
Speaker DWell.
Speaker DAnd I.
Speaker DYou know, gosh, I hate.
Speaker DIt's like, what are these salty things coming?
Speaker DYou know, I'm sure the Pretend podcast would be happy to know that this has been the hardest year of my.
Speaker CLife.
Speaker DSo I'll give them that.
Speaker DBut out of sheer stubbornness, I'll be back.
Speaker DI've done everything I can to hold this program together.
Speaker DI've still shown up to work.
Speaker DI'VE you know, it's not been the same.
Speaker DIt's not been until recently that it's.
Speaker DI've even been anywhere near back to normal.
Speaker DI think the women were telling him, you know, now they'll be like, oh, there she is.
Speaker DThat, you know, that that's her.
Speaker DSo that.
Speaker DThat's been hard.
Speaker DAnd, you know, a couple of women that were on the podcast contacted me and beg for my forgiveness, and I gave it to them.
Speaker DBut the damage that it's done, it runs really deep, I think, for a couple, at least.
Speaker DThe people sitting at this table, because we're here, we live it every day.
Speaker DWe know these things are not true.
Speaker DWe know the management team isn't being abusive either.
Speaker DThey're not out running wild, being mean to the other residents.
Speaker DNothing happens on this team that Anita and I don't know about.
Speaker DI talk with the managers all day, every day, and it's just nothing that they said that could have been going on is even possible in this environment.
Speaker DThat's what.
Speaker DI don't know how to express how you share that information where people can understand on a podcast because they've shared sensational stories that are just absolutely absurd.
Speaker DI mean, Tara and Anita showed up to my house, and I was absolutely broken.
Speaker DThey can tell you this.
Speaker DThey brought me flowers.
Speaker DLove you.
Speaker DBecause all I can think about this whole time is like, what are going to happen to these women?
Speaker DOh, shoot, who cares what, you know, they're saying about me?
Speaker DWhat's going to happen to Sam?
Speaker DWhat's going to happen?
Speaker DYou know, I start thinking of all these names, but.
Speaker BI think so.
Speaker BAnd I'll tell you what, I've been.
Speaker AThrough with this, too.
Speaker BThere's some things I want to share with you guys here that I haven't talked about on the podcast on purpose.
Speaker BBut now that I'm ending this and moving on, because this was my final step, whoever, and like I told it, done, whoever wants to believe it, after I'm done here, you got to let them go.
Speaker BBecause I've done the ultimate thing now that no one else has done, and that's bringing it right to the heart of where this is.
Speaker BAnd so there's a couple things I'll share with you guys here that I've never said, even though I'm sure that they have an inkling of it.
Speaker BSo all those questions I asked, you, the.
Speaker BI know you guys saw an increase in visits because they were filing petitions, they were filing complaints, they were calling anyone they could, from the police to the district attorney to DHS There was a lot of calls, I think the two users receiving about visits showing up or people just showed up.
Speaker BThat was because of them.
Speaker BThe district attorney.
Speaker BOh, they were talking about how they were out of tax papers, they were out of date.
Speaker BI mean, there's a lot of things.
Speaker BThe district attorney pretty much told him, we don't have any evidence in this.
Speaker BKick rocks.
Speaker AGoodbye.
Speaker BSo every time they get shut down, they try to go to a whole other avenue.
Speaker BIt has been the hardest room of Donald's life.
Speaker BShe's contemplated suicide more than three times.
Speaker BOkay, I don't know what you guys saw, but did you guys see like a change in her coming to work after this started happening?
Speaker CYes.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BWasn't the same person.
Speaker BThe ladonna that I've grown to know in three years is very strong minded.
Speaker BShe's like me.
Speaker BThat's why we get along.
Speaker BI'm a no bullshit type of dude.
Speaker BI'm gonna just tell you flat out, I'm very stern.
Speaker BWhat I say, I think one of my wife says, I think one of your biggest flaws is that you're very honest.
Speaker BIs that that's the only way I know how to be.
Speaker BThat's how ladonna is.
Speaker BI mean, she's quick to tell somebody to fuck off if she needs to do that.
Speaker BThat's not who I started seeing.
Speaker BSo it got to a point to where I was the only person she would talk to.
Speaker BI'm calling her three, four, five, six, seven times a day.
Speaker BI got emails and text messages that says, if you don't answer me, I'm sending the police.
Speaker BYou need to get a hold of me now.
Speaker BMy text thread was 2, 3, 4,000 text messages long because of the conversation that I had in between her.
Speaker EThank you for that.
Speaker BYeah, no problem.
Speaker E100%.
Speaker BOur podcast suffered.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BSo she's.
Speaker BShe does two podcasts.
Speaker BShe does one with me.
Speaker BExtinguished.
Speaker BAnd then she did now she renamed it the Lost Girls.
Speaker BThat would buy the wayside.
Speaker BShe wanted to stop writing.
Speaker BOkay, my whole.
Speaker BMy friend, I'm 1500 miles away.
Speaker BSo it wasn't like it was easy to get in the car and go there.
Speaker BIt took a long time.
Speaker BThis has been going on about eight and a half months.
Speaker BJust in the last three months, I got my friend back and you guys got your director back.
Speaker BAnd I said, you can't.
Speaker BAnd every time I thought I said, you can't let these people bring you down.
Speaker BWhen she said she was going to retire from here or resign, my question was, do you think that's because do you think that's appropriate?
Speaker BDo you think that what you should do?
Speaker BShe said, yes.
Speaker BMy next question was, did anybody tell you to do this?
Speaker BNo.
Speaker BDid the women come to you and say, due to what we've heard here, you need to resign?
Speaker ANo.
Speaker BSo what do you think will happen to them if you quit?
Speaker BIf you quit that whole program?
Speaker BI don't even step foot in the house.
Speaker BBut I can tell you just from the things I've heard and seen talking.
Speaker ATo Nita, if you resign, that whole.
Speaker BProgram changes, no matter who they send to put there.
Speaker BThat's not Ladonna.
Speaker BThat person may not get out of bed at 2am that person may not give somebody a hundred bucks to go buy some food.
Speaker BThat person may be the person that says, I really don't care if you can't afford to pay the rent.
Speaker BIf you don't pay it, you get out.
Speaker FSo I think you could be the abuser.
Speaker CThat person.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker CYou know, the one that's going to cuss us out and treat us like we're nothing because we're addicts.
Speaker CYou know, that.
Speaker DThat.
Speaker CThat person wouldn't have the heart or the understanding or the drive or the love that you have for us.
Speaker CThat person wouldn't care what happened to us or our children or our families.
Speaker BSo at the end of this, I want to tell you what I went through.
Speaker BMy first question to you is no la Donald Har.
Speaker BThe way that you do, do you feel like of all the people that she knows, that there would be at least five people that will show up and say, this is not true and try to defend her?
Speaker CYes.
Speaker DYes.
Speaker CI know that there's about 17.
Speaker FSo I know that there's, you know, she's.
Speaker FShe's been our support system, you know, through everything, through any personal stuff we've got going on in our lives, whether a DHS case, drug court case, whatever it may be.
Speaker FAnd you know, she's behind each and every one of us.
Speaker FShe's always in our corner.
Speaker FAnd I think, I don't think, I.
Speaker AKnow.
Speaker FThat through all of this.
Speaker CShe.
Speaker FNow knows that she has just as much support, if not more support in her corner than we do.
Speaker FLike, I know that there, like they said, there's at least five of us at this table.
Speaker FThere was a good.
Speaker FI mean, I can think right off the top of my head, probably a good 20 or 30 that are behind her.
Speaker ESo she has the whole recovery community behind her.
Speaker EI reminded her that so many times.
Speaker EAnd she told me about.
Speaker EShe was thinking about quitting that that's what she was going to.
Speaker EAnd to be polite.
Speaker EAnd I did say that.
Speaker EAnd you just.
Speaker EI told her, you gotta let them.
Speaker EJust let them.
Speaker EYou know, doesn't.
Speaker EYeah, it's hurtful, but you can't let what some.
Speaker EAll these accusations define who you are, because it's not.
Speaker EAnd if she was to quit.
Speaker BIt.
Speaker EWould just fall apart.
Speaker EIt just absolutely would fall apart in all aspects of her life.
Speaker EIt wouldn't just be about Oasis.
Speaker EHer personal life would fall apart.
Speaker BAnd before I tell you the rest of what I've been through, I have to ask this question, and I'll tell you why I'm asking this question.
Speaker BHas there ever been any gay or transgender females here in any of the houses that needed sober living?
Speaker ESo I'll be honest.
Speaker EWell, I shouldn't say the name.
Speaker CRight.
Speaker COkay.
Speaker ESo we.
Speaker EWe let another sober living, same year when the tornado hit last year, and it was the maker break situation.
Speaker EAnd ladonna asked me how I felt it was a transgender female.
Speaker EAnd I said absolutely, yes.
Speaker EAnd that person.
Speaker ESomething like that person took a shower and used my shower the entire time.
Speaker ESo, yes.
Speaker BJust.
Speaker EIt was making me get.
Speaker DBecause the fear was, is this person was going to have to go into a male sober living home, and that's not what was going to be good for their mental health.
Speaker DRight, Right.
Speaker DAnd so we made the decision that, yes, I mean, that's what we're here for.
Speaker ESure.
Speaker EDid a twin bed over there for her.
Speaker EAnd I mean, it was fine.
Speaker EAnd she's a human being.
Speaker DI'm sure there's been plenty of people that have been in this program that.
Speaker BAre gay.
Speaker DI don't know that.
Speaker DWe don't ask.
Speaker DI don't need to know.
Speaker DIt doesn't make any difference on what kind of services we're going to offer them.
Speaker ENo.
Speaker DAnd so we don't ask.
Speaker DAnd if they offer it up, then they offer it up.
Speaker DI mean, to say that we're prejudiced in some way against people because of their sexual orientation is absolutely absurd.
Speaker DThat's never been anything that we've discussed.
Speaker EWe had a gay lady on, and she was even on our management team.
Speaker BThe reason I bring that up is she made me.
Speaker DOkay.
Speaker DWe're really good friends.
Speaker DShe watches my children.
Speaker DThat's not an issue here.
Speaker DThey've made it into an issue because they can't find anything real to say.
Speaker DThat's ugly.
Speaker DAnd so they're having to make some stuff up.
Speaker DAnd that's one of those things.
Speaker BSo that's the reason that I asked that question because did you guys know that Donald Humphrey is homophobic?
Speaker EOh, wow.
Speaker FAbsolutely.
Speaker BSee, Anthony Christopher and Javier labor are both gay.
Speaker BThis is the card they wanted to play.
Speaker BThey played that card on me and try to twist words that I said and I shut them down.
Speaker BBut that's why I asked that question.
Speaker BSo when I asked you the question, if there's at least five people that will come forward, what if I was to tell you that besides the people in this room and the women that are here in the recovery community, and a lady named Amy, out of all of the people that Lagona's helped, out of all the people that she spearheaded careers for, out of all the people that she's been there to give money to if they needed it, what if I told you none of them showed up?
Speaker BI was the only one and I've known her the least amount of time.
Speaker BThere's a guy right now.
Speaker BI won't name him, but he has a very big podcast and without her, he wouldn't be where he is.
Speaker BThere is certain people in the podcasting community that had befriended ladonna and did project with her even, thank God for.
Speaker AYou, they didn't show up.
Speaker BSo, hi, here is why they didn't.
Speaker BAnd I actually have a woman that wrote me back and told me this.
Speaker BI started reaching out to various people saying, hey, La Donna Humphrey, some problems.
Speaker BWe know she didn't do these things.
Speaker BCan you, if you don't want to do on your own, can you come on my show and just tell everybody what you know about La Donna Humphrey, that these things aren't true?
Speaker BAt least you brought me back and said, madonna's excellent.
Speaker BWe love her to death, but we can't be on a podcast because of the work that we do.
Speaker BReally, we don't want to see her burn.
Speaker BWith good luck to her, but I'm afraid that I'll put my job in jeopardy.
Speaker BI work for law enforcement, so I haven't say anything.
Speaker AAnd I said, well, you don't have.
Speaker BTo give me your name if you want.
Speaker BI can even mask your voice.
Speaker BNo.
Speaker BGood luck.
Speaker BSo I went to La Donna.
Speaker BI said, somebody's got to do something.
Speaker BAnd I said, I guess I'm going to.
Speaker BAnd she says, I don't want you to do that because it's going to cost you problems.
Speaker BI said, you know, you're my friend.
Speaker BWhen I met ladonna, I had no authors besides her.
Speaker BNone.
Speaker BI didn't know it was a brand new podcast.
Speaker BI was like, I don't know how I'm gonna get these authors, because the second part of my podcast is authors.
Speaker BTrue crime authors and extraordinary people.
Speaker BKind of be that I'm a true crime buff.
Speaker BMy wife, my daughter and I started doing true crime eight years ago.
Speaker BAuthors I came up with because I said, hey, I want to interview independent authors that nobody knows about.
Speaker BMaybe I can help them push their books.
Speaker BExtraordinary people is because of folks like you.
Speaker BI figured, I've been through some traumatic things in my life.
Speaker BMaybe I can get people that used to be addicts or been through abuse, whatever, to come on my show and speak to people.
Speaker BAnd that's how the three facets of my show was created.
Speaker BThe moment that I booked the interview for ladonna Genius Books, her publisher sent me an email.
Speaker BHey, this is Stephen Booth.
Speaker BI'm the CEO of Genius Books.
Speaker BI hear you're going to interview LaDonna Humphrey.
Speaker BYeah, I'm interviewing a Donald Humphrey in a couple of weeks.
Speaker BExcellent.
Speaker BI will make all of my authors available to you.
Speaker BAnd if you ever go back and listen to my first season, about 95% of all the authors came from Genius Books.
Speaker BAnd to this day, because of one interview I did with Donald Humphrey, I still have Genius Books writing me saying, here's authors, and if they're not doing it, the authors themselves are writing me.
Speaker BHey, Virginius books.
Speaker BSo I said, the things that you've done for me in my show, I can't just sit back and let somebody obliterate you.
Speaker BEspecially, I know this stuff is lies.
Speaker BI said, but I got to do my due diligence.
Speaker BDo you have any proof of any of this stuff that they're saying that is wrong?
Speaker BShe goes, absolutely.
Speaker BI'll send you all of it.
Speaker BThen an hour.
Speaker BI had all of this.
Speaker BI still have it in my email.
Speaker BAnd I said, this is what I'm going to do.
Speaker BI'm going to start a podcast.
Speaker BIt's going to be called We're Not Afraid.
Speaker BI said, this is what I'm going to do for the first time ever, because I'm not vain.
Speaker BSo I've never used my face at all on any podcast I've ever done.
Speaker BI said, but today that changes.
Speaker BI said, the icon is going to be me.
Speaker BI had a professional photo taken, and it's me.
Speaker BAnd I said, the reason is because I don't want them to have any mistake of who's coming for they don't have to wonder what I look like, wonder where I am not changing my name.
Speaker BSo I started the podcast a month after he started his stuff, they started making fun of it then.
Speaker BHave you ever heard the trigger alert?
Speaker BBecause I was pretty pissed.
Speaker BThe storm is coming, you know, you guys, you know, truth is going to prevail.
Speaker BAnd that's where that's how we're not afraid.
Speaker BExposing the witch on the Donald Humphrey began.
Speaker BThese people were evil.
Speaker BThey immediately wanted to know who I was.
Speaker BThey started digging into personal information about me.
Speaker BThey found out how many times I was married.
Speaker BWanted to make fun of that.
Speaker BThey found out.
Speaker BDon't know why, but I had to file bankruptcy in January of last year, which is to save my wife's house because her dad died to do what he was supposed to do.
Speaker BSo I had to file that.
Speaker BMy wife didn't have her Facebook locked down at the time.
Speaker BThey stole pictures of my wife and put up there.
Speaker BThey've called me everything but a child of God.
Speaker BEven threatened to call my employer.
Speaker BAnd this is what made me mad about these other people, is you're telling me that you don't want to put your job on the line.
Speaker BI work for the biggest, if not number one, number two tech company in all of America and a lot of people already knows that.
Speaker BBut you won't step up and say anything.
Speaker BSo they threaten to call my employer.
Speaker BThey threaten to get me fired.
Speaker BThey didn't know how Apple really works because it doesn't work that way.
Speaker BBut that's what they threaten.
Speaker BThey've attacked me wholeheartedly.
Speaker BLa Donna Moore but me.
Speaker BAnd they was trying to get me to quit.
Speaker BThey even went as far as trying to have my whole entire podcast removed off of one episode, which I was telling all the truth.
Speaker BThey went to speaker and said he even did a TikTok about it, that I was spreading hate and I was evil and that I told speaker to remove this episode because it was an episode that I had did on.
Speaker BOn Javier labor about being.
Speaker BWell, you spill all this, but you were a drunk driver.
Speaker BI got the police report right here.
Speaker BSo this put some stuff out about you.
Speaker BHe was livid.
Speaker BI did an episode where I said that I had got contacted by a church, which was not a joke, that said they had heard that there was a couple of gay dudes going after a prominent author named La Donald Humphrey in northwest Arkansas.
Speaker BAnd they wanted me to tell them how they could help.
Speaker BIf you ever listen to the episode, I never mentioned the name of the church.
Speaker BJavier Leyva did a tick tock and said, oh, I'm here.
Speaker BFollowing a police report, David McClan on his podcast we're not afraid.
Speaker BJust said he's going to send the worst gross Baptist church to Anthony Christopher's gay nightclub and they was going to shoot up drag queens.
Speaker BLook what he said.
Speaker BI have his voice on the podcast.
Speaker BNever mentioned the name of the church.
Speaker BNever said worst growth Baptist church.
Speaker BTo his knowledge.
Speaker BThere's four different churches that actually newly does hate gay people.
Speaker BDidn't tell you which one that it was.
Speaker BSo they went and they had tried to have speakers shut me down.
Speaker BI got into a tip for them, but I wanted to move anyway.
Speaker BWhen I moved to Captivate, I said, hey, I have this crazy podcaster he hosts.
Speaker BHe's going to call you.
Speaker BHe's going to try to have you take down.
Speaker BIf you have a problem with the.
Speaker AEpisode, I'll remove it.
Speaker BI says, but I didn't threaten anybody because he's trying to threaten people.
Speaker BAnd I said, I have the full transcript here for you.
Speaker BHere you go.
Speaker BSure enough, because they were stalking me, I got a letter from Captivate.
Speaker BYeah, the dude, he says, go call me.
Speaker BHe certainly did.
Speaker BDo you have that episode up right now?
Speaker AI said, yeah, you can go listen to it.
Speaker BAnd they wrote him back and said, kick rocks.
Speaker BSo they've tried to pull me down and ladonna in every way that they possibly could because we're telling the truth.
Speaker BThe end goal for them was to get her to commit suicide.
Speaker BI was getting emails daily.
Speaker BOh, I'm sorry to inform you that Donald Huffy's killed herself.
Speaker BWhy hasn't she just offed herself yet?
Speaker BWhy has she jumped off of a bridge?
Speaker BA lot of that stuff I couldn't tell at the time.
Speaker BI can't tell Donna.
Speaker BThat's because she's already on the edge, right?
Speaker BAnd there was a lot of things I didn't know that was happening that I just didn't tell her.
Speaker BI'm like, I'm not going to tell her these things because of that.
Speaker BI put my whole life, I put my career, I put my integrity on the line.
Speaker BAnd somebody wrote me and said, why would you do this for a person at that time that you haven't even known longer than two years?
Speaker BYou've never been to a house.
Speaker BYou've never, never laid eyes on her.
Speaker BAnd here's my response.
Speaker BI don't have to hug her, shake her hands, or look her in the eye to tell you who Ladonna Humphrey is.
Speaker BI knew who she was the second she turned her camera on with her trademark glasses on the top of the head.
Speaker BAnd I said, welcome to the show.
Speaker BAnd we talked for 30 minutes and I said, plus, no one else is doing anything.
Speaker BAnd between me and her, it's been a whirlwind.
Speaker BIt's been really hard.
Speaker BIt's been more hard because I was watching her go through that stuff.
Speaker BI'm strong to the point to where I've told him, do what you want to do.
Speaker BWhat else you got?
Speaker BWhatever you're saying about me, I've already been on five different podcasts.
Speaker BI've told my story.
Speaker BNo, they made fun about me being abused.
Speaker BHold on.
Speaker BAnd on one episode, I did say, so you guys are hypocritical because you want to sit here and say things like that.
Speaker BI'm shaming a rape victim because Alicia Lockhart said she was raped.
Speaker BWell, I did interviews and I have proof that she was not raped.
Speaker BThat's how come the book strangle got pulled, because we found out that she was telling lies.
Speaker BAnd yes, I had the actual producer on my show and he said, do you understand that at the end of all of my death credits movies there is an outtake clip?
Speaker BAnd he says, the reason there is not one there is because I sold that movie to somebody in Russia.
Speaker BSo the Russian cut off.
Speaker BSo I did my due diligence.
Speaker BI went to seven different videos that Chris Corner had made and I skipped to the very end.
Speaker BAnd sure enough, at the very end of every movie, he did the women that he said, cut.
Speaker BThe women got up, they had drinks, they was laughing.
Speaker BHe he in.
Speaker BSo you knew that nothing you saw was real.
Speaker BTherefore I said, at least Lockhart's not raped.
Speaker BSo I've been accused of shaming a rape victim.
Speaker BI says, but you won't accuse me of shaming a rape victim and saying that I'm traumatizing her.
Speaker BBut I was truly a victim that survived this.
Speaker BSo what if I went into some type of relapse or the flashbacks got to me and I wanted to kill myself?
Speaker BThis is the same thing you're saying that you're doing.
Speaker EWell, they're shaming the women that are going on there, period.
Speaker EYou see, like by them bringing them on there and they're publicly making fun of these ex residents.
Speaker EThat's how it appears.
Speaker EThat's how I feel about it.
Speaker EThey're making fun of them by giving them money and just letting them just go off and talk on rants that are untrue and coercing them.
Speaker ESo shame on them for that, too.
Speaker EI mean, so.
Speaker DWell, when the women.
Speaker DWhen the women need something down the road, it's not going to be Javier.
Speaker DThey come to.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker DWe already know that.
Speaker FRight.
Speaker DThey've already come to me.
Speaker DYou know, not all of them, but some of them.
Speaker DWhere's he's not going to be anywhere near to help these people.
Speaker DIt'll still be people here in the recovery community.
Speaker DIt'll still be me.
Speaker BSo.
Speaker BSo I'm assuming you guys are glad that Ladonna Humphrey didn't quit.
Speaker COh, yes.
Speaker BAnd I didn't tell you all this I'm going through for you guys that pat me on the back.
Speaker BI told you that to let you guys know that there's two people that went through hell and back.
Speaker BAnd this was my final stop on that.
Speaker BAnd I've told at some point we have to quit feeding into them.
Speaker BWe're going to hit everything we need.
Speaker ATo to prove that you're innocent.
Speaker BWhen I said, me coming here is going to be that final straw.
Speaker BWhoever wants to believe it doesn't believe it.
Speaker BPlus she said way back she goes, I think she goes, what are you going to do with we're not afraid when you're done with me?
Speaker BI says, this is only a one shot deal.
Speaker BI said, I got enough podcast.
Speaker BI'm done.
Speaker BAfter.
Speaker BI'm done defending you the best that I can.
Speaker BWe're not afraid.
Speaker BWe'll cease to assist.
Speaker BI'll always leave the episodes up, but I'm finished.
Speaker BSo then she says, well, I think you should keep the podcast up.
Speaker BWhy?
Speaker BWell, maybe there's other people like me that wants to come and talk to you and maybe I think you can do them some good.
Speaker BSo I'm like, all right, well, I'll think about it down the road to other people.
Speaker BMaybe you should keep doing this because there's other people.
Speaker BDid I make this McCaskin?
Speaker BI got a story.
Speaker BMaybe you should do my story.
Speaker BAnd then I won't say it here because I don't want to know who it is, but I'll tell you guys who it is.
Speaker BAnd I was reached out to by somebody else that says they were taking advantage of Javier labor.
Speaker BAnd they said, I hope you're sticking around because we want to do this.
Speaker BSo I called Ladonna and I said, well, we're not afraid.
Speaker BWe'll have a second season.
Speaker BAnd I said, based on the person that called me, they've accused ladonna of writing all my scripts.
Speaker BNow, I will tell you this, they're racist.
Speaker BAbout 96% of them are.
Speaker BBecause I am black.
Speaker BThey don't think that I can formulate a sentence.
Speaker BI've told Them several times.
Speaker BI said, I'm the most dangerous black person you know, because I'm an educated black man.
Speaker BI know my history.
Speaker BI know what I'm talking about.
Speaker BAnd I've shot more than 700 podcast episodes, and I've never had a script written for true convolutionary people.
Speaker BI just started that because the cases I want to do and my work schedule and my workload is so overbearing that a certain person kept saying, hey, let me.
Speaker BI can help you.
Speaker BJust let me write the scripts.
Speaker BAnd I said, nobody can really write a script because if they do, they're.
Speaker ANot going to capture what I do, Right?
Speaker BThis person did know where the brakes are, where I should be speaking, where I should not.
Speaker BAnd I said, fine, I won't fight it anymore because I'm extremely busy.
Speaker BBut for almost nine years, up until that point, never had a script written.
Speaker BThey've accused ladonna of writing scripts for We're Not Afraid.
Speaker BAnthony Christopher has tried to catch her in contempt of court because there's a gaggle that says she can't speak negatively about him in public.
Speaker BSo he's ran and tried to tell the DA and his attorney that LaDonna's writing all this stuff for me to say about Anthony Christopher.
Speaker BThen he seeked his lawyer on me, and I think he wished he would have never did that.
Speaker CYou're reading off of, right?
Speaker BSo all of this is from the heart, from the brain, right?
Speaker ASo then he says, well, we're going.
Speaker BTo sue you because I spoof myself, right?
Speaker BSo I.
Speaker BI have VPNs, but I can appear to be any place.
Speaker BAnd so they thought, oh, we got him.
Speaker BBecause how come ladonna's female hitters the same as Davis.
Speaker BThey had this woman who had nothing to do with this case.
Speaker BTwo things that she was this dark web enthusiasts who said, oh, I can trace all this stuff.
Speaker BAnd so he sent his attorney, sent me a cease and desist letter and said that they needed me to bring all the stuff I said about the Christmas down or he was going to file a lawsuit against me and it was going to be proven.
Speaker BAnd, wow, what would the judge say about this?
Speaker BAnd I want it back and says, what would the judge say about, why are you trying to follow and check my IP address?
Speaker BThat's the first one they're going to ask.
Speaker BSecond of all, where's the proof?
Speaker BI said, VPNs work everywhere in the world.
Speaker BI said, I can.
Speaker BI said, do you understand that I can type in laganna's IP address from where I'm sitting in California, and it will route to her computer to make it appear that I'm at her house.
Speaker BI said, so if you want to mess me with technology, fine.
Speaker BYou guys listen to the episode because I ripped this lawyer a new one to the point to where I've never heard from Glenn Ritter ever again.
Speaker BSo in closing, I just want to let you guys know.
Speaker BSo thank you for taking your time.
Speaker BYou guys answered all those questions that I needed to have answered highest one more time.
Speaker BSo everything that I've asked you guys tonight is true?
Speaker BThat's your knowledge?
Speaker EYes.
Speaker BWhat Javier labor and those guys are doing, the Pretend podcast, is pretty much bs.
Speaker BIs there anything that you would like to say directly to Javier Laborer, Anthony Christopher, or any of the trolls in the group?
Speaker BBecause I can tell you that if no one else listens to me, they do.
Speaker EHello.
Speaker FHi.
Speaker DHey.
Speaker DI'm Miriam.
Speaker BHi, Miriam, I'm David.
Speaker DNice to meet you.
Speaker EAs hard as it is to do, I pray for them.
Speaker EI pray that God softens their heart to the realization that what they're doing is wrong and that they allow themselves to change.
Speaker EChange their whole entire outlook and how they approach things in life and realize how dangerous they are by doing these things.
Speaker EIt's not okay.
Speaker ESo, yes, so I pray for them.
Speaker EYou're supposed to pray for your enemies.
Speaker EEverybody's a child of God.
Speaker EEvery person on this planet.
Speaker FShe'S always a lot nicer than I am.
Speaker FI want.
Speaker FI.
Speaker FI hope, I pray that.
Speaker FI mean, I don't word this.
Speaker FI pray that they.
Speaker FI know that some of them probably can't empathize with us.
Speaker FI know that some of them, not all of them are addicts or recovery addicts or whatever.
Speaker FBut this.
Speaker FI hope, I pray that they realize that what they're doing and toying with all this and trying to cause harm is not going to just affect one person.
Speaker FIt affects.
Speaker FIt's a ripple effect.
Speaker FAnd it could affect not just my life, but it could affect my children.
Speaker FIt can affect Sam and her children.
Speaker FIt can affect her and her kid.
Speaker FIt's a ripple effect.
Speaker FAnd we need places like this in order to survive is basically what it is.
Speaker FI mean, I'm not gonna sit and say that if it wasn't for Oasis, I'd be dead because I don't know where I'd be.
Speaker FI guarantee you I'd probably be still living under the bridge right up the street, cuz that's where I was before I got arrested.
Speaker FI mean, this place does Amazing things and the people that run it do amazing things and it's just not fair.
Speaker FIt's not fair.
Speaker FIt's childish.
Speaker FAnd I'm going to stop right there.
Speaker FI'm getting there.
Speaker CI told with Anna at one point.
Speaker CI really didn't say much about any of the podcast, but I remember telling her that it was the enemy attacking her for all the good that she was doing, didn't want her to succeed.
Speaker CAnd that is the enemy working through them to attack Ladonna and the work that Ladonna does because it's all God's work.
Speaker CShe is a vessel for God and everything that she does is truly a blessing.
Speaker CI.
Speaker CIf it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have this guy.
Speaker CI wouldn't have my 6 year old living on campus with me.
Speaker CI wouldn't have the relationship with my teenagers.
Speaker CI wouldn't.
Speaker CI wouldn't have anything because I didn't have anything when I got here.
Speaker CAnd I probably have even less than what I had.
Speaker DShe is.
Speaker CSuch an amazing and bright wonderful light.
Speaker CAnd don't ever let anyone dim it again.
Speaker CI will, I promise.
Speaker DI've learned a lot from this.
Speaker DI've learned who I don't want to be that is happier than later.
Speaker BCloses out.
Speaker BI just want to say lasting things.
Speaker BNone of you guys have ever laid eyes with me to the night.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker FRight.
Speaker BYou guys did not know I was showing up here tonight.
Speaker BNo.
Speaker BSo this is totally off the cuff.
Speaker FYeah.
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker CAnd I had to google who you were.
Speaker AAll right, guys, so that was the management interview.
Speaker AYou probably heard a couple of things.
Speaker AI'm not going to go over everything that you heard, but there's a couple things I do want to point out.
Speaker AStarting with this.
Speaker AThe ladies that went on Javier leave his podcast had disciplinary issues.
Speaker AI think it was Mel B.
Speaker ASee, I could say that because the fact that she's already put herself all over the podcast.
Speaker ASo her name don't need to be hidden because she's already told you who she is.
Speaker ABut I believe they was referring to Mel B.
Speaker AWhen they said she left on her own.
Speaker AAgain, all Javier Liver did was put drugs in these ladies systems.
Speaker AOnce again, whether they shoot it or whether they snorted or whether they swallow it by offering the money to come to tell lies to to make him money.
Speaker AAlso, thing I want to touch on is if you listen, the ladies automatically disregarded the pretend podcast.
Speaker AOne lady said, I got curious, listen to it for two seconds.
Speaker AI was done because it pissed me off.
Speaker ADidn't want to hear anything.
Speaker AThe lady Said it wasn't her business of what was going on in the podcast cuz she knows who ladonna is.
Speaker AIt was almost.
Speaker AIf you were sitting there, it was almost like me throwing acid on a vampire.
Speaker AWhen I asked them did they listen to the podcast.
Speaker ASo again, Javier thinks he's big pimping and he's all out here and that everybody's heard him.
Speaker ANo, the people in Arkansas only heard him because they took out ads to make that be true.
Speaker ABut out of everybody have ads and oasis between the ladies themselves and now the management.
Speaker AI think maybe what one or two people said, yeah, they listened to some and that was it.
Speaker AManagement was like, we ain't even hearing none of this.
Speaker AAnd they were done.
Speaker AThat goes in handy hand.
Speaker AI said they did not know of the podcast, therefore they did not know of me.
Speaker AAnd I think it's very telling that one lady said that when she heard I was coming because they had to alert the management that I was coming, she googled me.
Speaker ANow this should tell you one of two things of why she took the time to google me.
Speaker AOne, maybe she was just curious of who in the hell David McClam is.
Speaker AShe ain't never heard this cat.
Speaker AHe coming from a whole different state.
Speaker AWho is this guy?
Speaker ASecond, because they probably didn't trust me after the BS that Javier Lea has been putting down for the last now almost year, maybe they wanted to make sure ladonna was inviting somebody of good standing into the house now that they didn't trust her judgment.
Speaker ABut they wanted to make sure some yahoo like Javier wasn't going to show up.
Speaker AWhich furthermore makes me believe two things on Javier's part.
Speaker AMaybe if Javier would have went at the beginning like I did here, and sat down and said he.
Speaker AThese are the things I've been told as a good journalist, I'm coming to the source.
Speaker AI don't want to put out anything in audio, print or otherwise.
Speaker AIf it's false, maybe they would have talked to him.
Speaker ABut because he went the way of let's pay some people, let's lie, let's drown up all these people that just hate ladonna Humphrey, let's say all this stuff, I almost promise you, if Javier l showed up right now and said this is who I am, but or even if he sent a representative, they're going to slam the door in his face.
Speaker AThat's his problem.
Speaker ABecause they know he's not there on good intentions.
Speaker AAnd this is probably why that lady googled me to make sure who I was, was I clean, did I have a record.
Speaker AWhat have I done in my life?
Speaker AIs this the first time I've ever done a podcast?
Speaker AAm I just some yahoo coming in saying, I just want to sit down with them?
Speaker AShe had to make sure of who I was before I got there.
Speaker AThose are the things I wanted to hit home with you.
Speaker AYou heard Ladonna Humphrey say some things.
Speaker AYou heard her cry.
Speaker AI hope you guys go back.
Speaker ARewind, rewind, and listen to that.
Speaker AThat was the genuine feelings of a woman that has been through hell and back for no other reason other than jealousy.
Speaker AAnd she's breaking down.
Speaker AShe didn't want to because she was there with her women.
Speaker AShe's the director.
Speaker ASometimes directors felt they shouldn't show any emotion, but if anybody deserves to show emotion, it is definitely her.
Speaker AAnd even at this point, the train still don't stop.
Speaker AYou got people out here that's so disillusioned.
Speaker AThey're writing comic books and like, you change the name, ain't supposed to know.
Speaker ALa Donna Humphrey, all of Donald Humphrey.
Speaker AAnd they so damn disillusioned they that good of an author that they're charging 20 bucks.
Speaker AMy cat could write a book better than that trash.
Speaker AAnd I'm just saying, this person, you should know who it is.
Speaker AOh, but I got some words for her in my last episode.
Speaker AI hope by now you guys understand the evilness that has went on for the last year of the Pretend podcast.
Speaker AFor those of you out there that is here seeking the truth, I think you already have that.
Speaker AThese last few episodes is just closure for you.
Speaker AYou want to hear what actually happened when I went to Arkansas was, this is now the last bit of it.
Speaker AThere's nothing more that happened except for, like I stated, I did speak, which I was very happy to do at the True Crime Symposium.
Speaker AI was asked to speak on behalf of true crime podcasters and law enforcement, giving us more leeway to help them with cases.
Speaker AThat was the end of that.
Speaker AOther than my family and I got a chance to go around to, you know, in Arkansas and see more Walmarts than we probably ever seen per mile in our own home.
Speaker ASo that's all that happened.
Speaker AMaybe you're sticking around because you do want to hear what Ladonna Humphrey has to say.
Speaker ALet me tell you something about that interview.
Speaker AAnd she may kill me when I say this, and I'm saying this long before we even record it.
Speaker AThe one thing that Javier Lever has not done is given ladonna Humphrey a voice he has not asked her to come and rebut herself.
Speaker AHe has not asked her if any of these things are true.
Speaker AHe has not asked her to legitimately come on the podcast.
Speaker AWhat you heard was an ambush done in the same week that he talked to me.
Speaker AIf you listen, he tried for his friend Anthony Christopher, who is an alleged rapist and the cause of allegedly having somebody die in his nightclub.
Speaker AAnd remind you of that to get her to go back to jail by trying to goad her into talking about him on air.
Speaker AYou haven't heard her interview between ladonna Humphrey and Javier Labor.
Speaker AYou will hear a real one with me.
Speaker ABut what I was going with this is this she has the choice of what she wants to say or what she doesn't want to say.
Speaker AAnd I'm not going to push her on that because it has nothing to do with her being my friend.
Speaker AThis is just who I am as a journalist.
Speaker AYou can ask anybody who's been on my show, they'll tell you, hey, the first thing David McClam says to me.
Speaker BBefore he asked me about any other.
Speaker AQuestions, before he pushes the red button is if there's anything that you want me to stay clear of or not talk about.
Speaker AAnd I remind them that if there is something they say that they don't want anybody to hear to let me know and I'll be sure to edit that out.
Speaker AI am very respectful to my guests.
Speaker AWhat I'm saying, so.
Speaker ASo there's some things she may not want to say, there's some things she may want to leave out.
Speaker AMaybe there's some things that will make her feel like that she appears weak to you.
Speaker AIf she says, let me tell you what I've told her, coming from two separate scenarios, one as being her friend, her best friend, and the other as is being a professional.
Speaker AAs her best friend.
Speaker AI told her whatever it is you don't want to say, you don't have to say.
Speaker ABut I think that the things, you know what they are, you need to discuss.
Speaker ABecause if you want people to truly understand where you have been and where you are coming from with all of this, they're never going to know unless you tell them.
Speaker AAnd I also told, I said my whole life is on the Internet.
Speaker AAin't nothing nobody can say about me, cuz it's there.
Speaker AI've done more than 10 different shows in my life where I've talked about everything from being abused from my dad, from being raped as a kid, all the way down to how many times I've been married.
Speaker AEverything I said, so my whole life is out there.
Speaker AYou Got to make that decision.
Speaker AAs a professional, I said this interview is for you to get off your chest.
Speaker AWhatever you need to and whatever it is you do not want to say, you don't have to say.
Speaker AAnd as a professional podcaster, I will protect you in that.
Speaker AI hope she goes with what I said as a friend, but I think by listening to this interview, you're going to already get a little taste of what Ladonna Humphrey has been through in almost 12 months.
Speaker AAnd if I have my way about it, this all is going to end right before that day hits of one year.
Speaker AAll right, guys, so that's it for this episode.
Speaker ALet me remind you where we are.
Speaker AIf you're looking at the road map, episode one had to deal with the interview with the ladies of Oasis.
Speaker AThat one's already up.
Speaker AEpisode two, this one now has to do with the interview of the Oasis Northeast Arkansas management.
Speaker AYour third episode is going to be, well, me putting myself up against Javier Leyva and what we've done since everybody says he's the world's greatest podcaster.
Speaker AYou want to tune into that one because I'm going to take that in a whole different spin of what I was going to.
Speaker AWe're not going to give Javier Lea more glory than what he deserves, but it'll be good.
Speaker ASo you want to turn into that.
Speaker AEpisode four will be the interview that I will conduct with Ladonna Humphrey, which will lead us into episode five of this road map, which is the final.
Speaker AYou don't want to miss that.
Speaker AI'mma go ahead and prep you now.
Speaker AGet your coffee, get your tea, get your biscuits, your popcorn, whatever it is you want to snack on, because it's going to be a long episode.
Speaker AIn that episode, everything that I have not said throughout this podcast will be said.
Speaker AYou will hear exactly how I feel about Javier Lava.
Speaker AYou will hear exactly how I feel about Anthony Christopher, as well as some of these so called friends of Ladonna Humphreys.
Speaker AYou will hear everything I have personally been through in this last year of this horrific web of lies.
Speaker AAnd then at that, I will tell you what I believe happened with all of this stuff at this podcast and then we're going to close it.
Speaker ASo anything that you think I've missed or you want to hear, you have to tune in for episode five, which he'd be out and no longer than the next, what, three weeks if you look at the weekly episode.
Speaker ASo next week would be one week, week after that too.
Speaker ASo, yeah, three weeks.
Speaker AAnd then we'll be back to close out everything.
Speaker AAll right, guys, once again, thank you for joining me.
Speaker AThank you to those who want to know the truth and to those who just want to be trolls and don't care because you have nothing to do but make everybody's life miserable because yours is you can kick rocks.
