No, really.... hit me up!
Lavaudus: And when things don't go right,
that means. That doesn't mean, like, it's already, like, done.
Like, you just don't quit right, right there. You just like,
you gotta just keep going, you know? Keep going. And, you know, you. In this life,
we're. We're kids on a bike, all right?
Kids on the bike with no training wheels.
And when we fall,
what are we gonna do? Sit there and cry for a while, Forever?
And then we get up, try again, get up, ride a bike again,
you know, and we use our father and we can have our father help us. And he's that. And he's the father that, you know, holds on to candle bars and let us, like, ride all the way down the street and that's not noticing it.
Jan: Like, hey, son, look what you're doing.
Lavaudus: Hey, everybody, welcome to me. I'm just talking about Jesus. I have my buddy Lovatta Scott here with me. Hi, Lovatus.
Lavaudus: Hey, how you doing, Jen? What's going on? How you doing?
Lavaudus: Good.
Just some things have happened in your life since our first episode, which I believe was episode two way back. And pre YouTube.
Pre YouTube audio during that time. But yeah, and that was a.
Just about your testimony of. Of how you came to Lord and all that stuff, which was good. And then your new wife at that time,
Liz.
Lavaudus: Hi, Liz.
Lavaudus: Beautiful wife Liz.
Lavaudus: Yes.
Lavaudus: Joined us with that one. But so you had an event happen not too long ago, and I think maybe you want to share it with everybody.
Lavaudus: Yeah, absolutely. So first off, yeah, thank you for anyone that's watched a video of me on episode two. Yeah, even my family from back home.
It was awesome to, you know, get y' all support from that and share the testimony with family that don't have, like, you know, access to stuff like that.
So I. So back in 2024, back in January,
me and my wife, we were experiencing, experimenting with things.
And it just, you know, it's just one of those things that you have with a. As a couple. It's like, hey, what can you. I mean, what things we want to do to spice up a relationship, you know, because,
you know, it's something that God created and he wanted to,
you know, make sure that we were like, locked in. And yeah, we created. We created like, different things. Like, okay, we can do this, we can do that, we can do this.
And one of my ideas, it ended up going, like, very, very south. I ended up trying one of these drinks that were in the, like, in a cannabis store. And, you know, in Oregon, cannabis is legal.
So I Was like, okay, I can try this, and I'm gonna be at home,
and I'm not gonna be out and about or anything like that,
and I can try it in privacy of my home and, you know, spice things up with my marriage.
So we did that, and I actually was the only one that wanted to try it. So actually, the day before, when I. Before I dropped, I. I tried the drink.
I had some gummies.
So these gummies had no effect on me at all. No effect at all on me. And I was like, okay, it's just like eating regular gummies. I didn't feel anything.
So that's when the next day, I ended up trying that drink. And the drink pretty much, like, was night and day from the gummies.
It was, like, a very, very, very bad reaction to it. I ended up,
like, going, like, ballistic. And it ended up like.
Like, it was, like, the scariest thing I ever had done. I mean, like, experienced in my life.
Lavaudus: Because you can tell me you don't recommend this.
Lavaudus: No, absolutely not. I mean, if you don't do any kind of like. Like marijuana like that related,
I highly do not recommend. I mean,
and I actually even drunk, like, I drunk. I drank,
like, a beer, like,
a little bit of alcohol from time to time, and it was, like, way more potent than that. It caused me to, like, not even remember what I was doing. And I was crashing out,
and I was going upstairs and downstairs, and my wife was trying her best to control me and caused me to,
you know,
calm down, but nothing worked.
The police and the fire station came out to our house, believe she said.
And it was just like a very, very terrible time that, you know, ended up being, like, a quiet night between two people, private, in our home, to the public getting involved.
The neighbors were involved. They was wondering what was going on with me because they knew that I did not act like this.
And it just caused, like, a whole lot of stir in the neighborhood because it was like, this is Lovatis. Does not act like that. What's going on with him? What did he eat?
What did he drink?
And,
yeah, I ended up scary.
Very scary.
I. And then, unfortunately, I ended up getting in my car and driving off somewhere. I. They said I drove up the street from where I live,
and I ended up crashing in. Two unfortunate victims.
And it just like.
Yeah,
I didn't come back to normal until I was, like, woken up in a hospital.
And it just caused a whole lot of,
like, concern.
I mean, they told me. The first thing I asked was,
what's going on? Who Did I crash into. Are they okay? I don't know what happened. I. My mind just went haywire and I couldn't even like.
I couldn't even like, put my mind back to ease the bad back to normal. It was a very dangerous thing to do.
Yeah. And I had a few people come in. I didn't even see Liz yet. She was somewhere in the hospital.
But yeah, I found out the victims were okay. Both of them. They ended up just having. The wife ended up having minor injuries, unfortunately. The guy had his legs, you know,
amputated and. Yeah, it was very, very. Both legs. Yeah, both. I believe it was both. I still to this day don't know. I didn't try to get into it because I'll tell you about that later.
But I ended up like, causing this accident and it started in the privacy of our home and then it ended up causing, you know, a whole lot of stir.
And then, you know, I had people that didn't know me judge me for like, who. What happened. And that's what social media does. They don't know who person poop is.
They don't know you. They're going to like automatically assume and don't get the whole 5 cents because they think what at one penny will pretty much get them into the slot machine.
But anyway,
yeah, I ended up spending the night in jail that night.
And my life changed. It changed a lot. It caused a whole lot of growth and for. I mean, like a whole lot of growth and a whole lot of patience and a whole lot of scrutiny between people being on social media, hearing about the accident,
you know, and people are calling me. Oh, my goodness, like,
so many calls I've gotten from the accident. People came by my house,
people from the community,
people from the school because I coach football too, and people from the church, most likely. Yeah. And they ended up asking like, you know, what happened, everything's okay. And I'm glad people that came by didn't automatically judge me.
Yeah, yeah, they didn't. Automatic.
Lavaudus: Harsh.
Lavaudus: Yeah, definitely. And they knew me, that they knew me. For me, that's like. I set a foundation already in this smallest community.
Usually they just run you out of town if you do something like that. But it ended up not being that as being the complete opposite. And people were, you know, the kids.
I've. I'm very involved in kids, you know, with kids ministry and also kids coaching and stuff. And they were concerned about me too, and stuff. And they. I told them that I was okay and they were very, very.
They were praying people Were like praying, and they don't even pray like that. And it was just like a big stir.
But yeah, it lasted. I mean, it started in 2024, January.
And the whole thing of me waiting for, you know, my court case and all that is, it's that it kept going, like arraignments and things. It didn't happen. I mean, it kept going until like this year of September.
And that's when everything started going down.
I was looking at 12 years in prison,
even though I never been in trouble in my life.
But people were telling me to hire a lawyer. And this is me being new to the system and new to everything that the lawyer does and not really like understanding it all.
So I had to do my homework and it caused me to learn some things and,
you know, hire a lawyer. And he ended up giving me a great deal.
And that was two years probation. Not only have to do that whole two years,
and if I'm on good behavior, which.
Okay, it's me.
Lavaudus: And normally.
Lavaudus: Yes, thank you.
Yes. And also I have to do 160 hours community service. And I'm doing that now. The church and the community is helping me with that.
And had a couple grand of court costs.
And also last but not least that this one hurt me the most, you know,
financially and lifestyle wise is I can't drive for five years.
Lavaudus: Five years?
Lavaudus: Yeah. Five years.
Yeah. Um,
that.
That really did it because I. My job involves driving, you know, my support.
So I ended up. They ended up laying me off because there's nothing they could do. You know, they placed in Portland and I had no other job to do that, you know, with.
I couldn't drive. So. And I've been unemployed for a month now.
Yeah, I mean, it's just been a different chapter. I look at this as a different chapter.
Different chapter.
And, you know, I mean, it changed everybody. It changed people's lives that were involved. And once again, I'm sorry for the victims that were involved in it. I mean,
I'm taking responsibility.
Pastor pretty much told us, like, take responsibility for things. And I. That's what I did from early in the jump. I mean, even though I didn't do it intentionally, right.
I still took responsibility. And even though I wasn't in my right mind,
I still took responsibility. And yeah, it's like it's becoming something that is helping me understand more things, you know, like, one thing is I'm glad the victims are okay. And I'm okay too.
I got a few minor injuries, you know, stuff on my hands. And you Know, temporary hand injuries and stuff. But second,
I just grew a lot closer to God because sometimes when you don't have anything else, you just. And it's just God.
Lavaudus: You think maybe it puts us in those situations sometimes because of that, you know?
Lavaudus: Definitely. I thought my relationship was kind of a solid, but, hey, he was like, hey, he wants to be more solid. And I'm like, okay, I'm okay with that.
Lavaudus: Yeah.
Lavaudus: And third,
it definitely helped me with my marriage, my scene list, with who she was.
She definitely stood by me the whole time.
It's usually someone just run off and not even be involved with it. But even when I even told her, like, hey, I can understand. Even though I try to push her away because I'm tight, I'm like that.
You know, I'm very independent. And I told her, like, hey, if you.
I can understand that this is too much for you. Like, I did this. It's my responsibility, and I can. Yeah, I can deal with this on my own.
And she was like, nope, I'm not going anywhere.
So that's real love right there. Yeah, that's a real marriage right there. So I'm very grateful for her. Very grateful for her.
And now she just drives me around everywhere. And.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to get used to her driving,
so pray for me, y'.
Lavaudus: All.
Lavaudus: But other than that, though, yeah, I'm just on. I'm. I'm collecting unemployment, trying to collect unemployment, and I'm gonna, like,
have surgery soon from the accident I've been in. So.
Yeah, I mean, other than that, I'm just, like, playing the waiting game and being patient and growing a solid. I mean, my foundation with God is still solid. I was like.
I didn't blame him. Like, God, why did he make this happen? Why did you, like, didn't stop me or anything like that.
I was past that. I mean,
I'm glad that my relationship with God was not in jeopardy.
Lavaudus: But what are the characteristics about God that. That have strengthened you?
Lavaudus: The characteristics about God that strengthened me,
I can say that.
Patience.
And when things don't go right,
that means. That doesn't mean, like, it's already, like, done.
Like, you just don't quit right there. You just, like.
You gotta just keep going, you know? Keep going. And, you know, you.
In this life,
we're kids on a bike, all right?
Kids on the bike with no training wheels. And when we fall,
what are we gonna do? Sit there and cry for a while? Forever?
And then we get up, try again, get up, ride a bike again?
You know, and we use our Father and we can have our father help us. And he's. That. He's the father that, you know, holds on to handlebars and let us, like, ride all the way down the street.
And that's not noticing it. They're like, hey, son, look what you're doing. Yeah, yeah. So my characteristics in that he just gave me patience,
gave me peace,
understanding.
Lavaudus: That's huge. The peace is huge.
Lavaudus: Yes. Because so many nights I haven't slept, you know, during this time, you know, being worried and concerned about my future. But now that, you know, everything is set in stone and me being sentenced and I got a couple of felony counts on my record now, I mean,
I'm still at peace because I know I'm a person that needs to know. I'm a person that needs to. Wants to be in the know of, like, especially if it has something to do with me.
And, you know, after the whole sentencing thing, I was just kind of like, okay, I'm gonna do this and take care of them. Take care of this and let them know, my probation officer know that I'm not going to be this guy to mess up because my lifestyle wasn't already like that.
So I just have to have everybody that supported me in the community,
in the church to help me out with rides and stuff and,
you know, finding me a job and go from there.
Yeah.
Lavaudus: What are some of your favorite scriptures?
Lavaudus: Oh, man,
I got so many. There's a shirt. I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan. You see the little eagle that my goddaughter made right here?
Yes.
Yeah, she gave me that one.
And Isaiah 40, 31.
Yeah, that's ones. That's why she got the eagle right there.
Lavaudus: Because I kind of got eagle's wings.
Lavaudus: Yes, the eagle's wings. You give your wings like Eagles. That's one. That's like number five. I got a top five.
Lavaudus: Okay.
Lavaudus: Yes.
Number four will probably be Ephesians 4, 32. Be kind to one another,
tender hearted, forgiving one another.
Father Christ forgave you because. Yeah, I mean,
that right there. I mean, people need love, need niceness, and people don't have people to talk to. And it's very limited these days, especially with everybody turning their opinions into facts on social media.
So you kind of like, hey, yeah, this is an opinion. You just gotta say it with love, though. Be kind in this and stuff. Everybody can say, oh, yeah, I don't agree with that.
I don't agree with this.
So I'm not gonna like you. I mean, people gonna Love red. And we. You like blue. And honestly, bring them colors together. Make purple. Okay.
All right, so number three is definitely going to be Proverbs 3, 5, and 6.
That's the classic one is trust in the Lord and all your heart. Lean not by your own understanding and all. Trust in all his ways. Make your path straight. Because he's did that.
He's definitely done that in my life. You know, I trusted in him. And I thought I was looking at prison time and ended up not being prison time.
I forgot to actually mention I also spent, like, four weekends in jail.
And, you know. Yeah. It was like, 12 days in jail I had to do. And people there treated me nice.
And. Yeah, it was just. It wasn't great, but, you know, I mean, it was just.
Yeah. Something I had to do, and it went smooth,
you know, so I trusted in the Lord throughout the whole stuff. Yeah. And number two,
my. Number two. One. I'm gonna have to. It's just. It's like number one.
I know what number one is, and I know number two is. But it's kind of like toxic turvy.
So.
Yes.
Lavaudus: Which one's which?
Lavaudus: The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. That one right there. The SEC. Yeah, the Psalms 23. I just have to understand that he's. He's with me and, you know, walking through the light valley, shadow of death.
The whole Psalms 23, that right there is just like, you know,
I'm a sheep,
I'm a black lamb. That's how I look at myself. I'm different, you know, And I picture him just coming down and he just, like, you know,
he's grabbing me, you know, even though I'm different,
Even though, like,
very, like, jovial, very outgoing and stuff and, you know, not like people here in the Oregon community.
He still, like, loves me for me,
and he just reaches out to me and. Actually, let me show you this picture.
It was on the album cover that I had.
Yes. I don't know if everybody can see this, but.
Lavaudus: Oh, I'll add a picture.
Lavaudus: Yes.
Lavaudus: Yeah.
Lavaudus: So. Yes. Jesus basically looking, reaching out for a black lamb, man.
Lavaudus: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Screenshot it.
Lavaudus: And number one.
Number one, right there. I see this verse everywhere, even on a clock. Okay.
It's Matthew 6:33.
Seek the kingdom first and his righteousness and all things be added to you.
It tells me not to chase after everything because I'm independent. I'm very independent. So sometimes it's kind of like you used to be. Yes.
I still have the independent mind. Even when you're married, you're still kind of like, I gotta do this on my. Yeah, I mean, I want to have some independence.
But anyway, that's what I'm saying is go after what you need and separate your needs and your wants.
Because if you go after,
if you put your wants in your need category, like, oh, I need a job or I need some money or I need a car or I need like, you know, house or something like, no,
chase after put that in the want category, not in the need category. Because God will give you all that you need. Because God is all you need, you know,
and if you seek him first and his righteousness,
which I've been doing all things be attitude here I was, you know, I've been unemployed for a month now,
and somehow, some way,
we have more than enough money to take care of us. Even though I've been without a job for a whole month. And this is this morning. I was like, what?
We have this much money.
I didn't work for a month. And I was. And yeah, God took care of us and we just steady seeked him. We pray before we eat, pray before we go to bed,
have a little devotion. And yeah, just. Yeah, that's why that's number one.
Lavaudus: Yeah. See can empress. Oh my goodness. You know, I mean, and he's your provider. He is Jehovah Jireh, the provider of,
you know, and again,
he's going to provide what we need,
not just what we want all the time. You know, he's gonna make sure you've got enough food to eat. He's gonna make sure that you got whatever, you know, a dry roof over your head and.
Lavaudus: Yeah, especially in this Oregon weather.
Lavaudus: Yeah, yeah.
Lavaudus: It's getting around that time when the time got darker. You know how they do the little time thing and all of a sudden.
Lavaudus: It’s just, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lavaudus: Yes. And it's raining and Oregon weather doesn't.
Lavaudus: How many more days have we had?
I don't know, but it is, it is.
So then it's time to evaluate what your skills are and what other things are you've learned along the way that maybe could work into another profession or type of thing.
You got time on your hands. Maybe you're going to volunteer and do some things that, you know, meet some people you didn't know before.
Definitely some relationships that you hadn't had before,
you know, definitely. Just because you have time,
you know,
to do that. And maybe you want to start writing.
Lavaudus: I mean, I got some things written down already, so. Yeah, right.
Lavaudus: There you could be writing a devotional or something. So tell us about your music.
Lavaudus: Oh, yes.
Well, I've been on a hiatus for music,
you know, ever since the accident. And my music is like something I've been like,
love to do like, ever since I was young.
But when I was younger, of course, I was in a secular music because, you know, it was just pretty much all I knew.
And, you know, Christian rap wasn't really the thing to, you know, talk about. I felt like I was be. I would be lame for that. But the more you grow and more your brain develops, you find out that, hey, this is all about Jesus.
This is all about what's going on in your walk with Jesus and you being a good, faithful servant. So I switched that up when I got baptized in South Carolina.
And yeah, my music has been there ever since.
I got a couple of albums out now.
One is called Black Lamb, the one I showed you and I did that, you know, about a few years ago. And it has some great songs on there. Definitely worth checking out if you wanted to talk.
I mean, hear about, like, how my life was at the beginning before I became, you know, lovatist today.
And also the album, other album, the latest one I've let it out was Soul Food for Thought.
Basically it's a mixture of soul, you know, in your soul and then food for thought because, you know, God gives you that food and, you know, as you read, you know, every scriptures and things and you want that, you need that to feed your soul.
So there's, you know,
beautiful songs about that and also relating into, you know, my marriage with me and Liz,
temptation, you know, and all that stuff that people go through in their life daily.
Yeah. So that's what basically Soul Food Thought is about, like. Like a real walk with God, you know, not something that you just like, post and like, hey, I'm going to church this Sunday, and then you're back to your normal reality.
It's nothing like that. And also, yes, if you like, just hearing music in the background. I have a beat album out too, and I put out like around like a year ago or so.
So not a year ago. It was like 2023. Yeah, it had to be 2023. So, yeah, if you like to just hear music and tune, then, yeah, I got music on.
I mean, just. No, just instrumental. So, yeah, I got that too.
Lavaudus: So now that you've had your hiatus, it's time. Got time on your hands. Time to get back into it.
Lavaudus: Yeah.
Lavaudus: What kind of things will you do? What, what, what are some little sparks.
Lavaudus: Oh, my goodness. I'm glad you talked about this, because I want to kind of get your perspective on this because you're a very wise lady.
So with that being said,
I want to. I'm making. I've already made it. I already, like. I didn't make it, but I pretty much written the album already.
It's called,
you know, ptsd,
and basically, it's like.
It's called. And PTSD is not for the regular post traumatic syndrome. None of that, but it's for.
It's like pep talks, sabotages, doubt.
Lavaudus: Oh.
Lavaudus: So with that being said, it's a album about a male role model and, you know, his counterpart, which is younger.
And this is actually kind of like relating to me and my nephew, in a sense. Do you remember my nephew when he was here?
It was like, in 2019,
just briefly. Yeah. Yes, he was here, and it was me trying to, like, look after my nephew, you know, trying to get him to graduate from high school, and he coming up here to try to make his life better.
And. Yeah, that's what the album pretty much talks about. It's like from the beginning where I'm pretty much, like,
yelling at him like, hey, you. Thank you. That you. All this and all that. And, yeah, I'm gonna let you know that, hey, this not. This is not where it's gonna go down.
And then when things calm down in Summer Style, I just afraid I was telling him, like, hey, I love you. I care about you, and I want to be there for you and make sure that you're okay, you know, and what we're going to do is grow together.
This is not me telling you what to do. It's me growing together with you, you know, because I need Jesus just as much as you do.
And that's what it was. You know, he ended up getting baptized here, and that's how the album goes, too. He's like, throughout the whole album, we're going through, you know, situations and, you know,
things that the teenagers go through and we grow throughout the whole album. And at the end of the last song on the album is called Church Jig, and that's just us dancing at church and, you know, celebrate.
So, yeah, that's. That's the album I'm thinking about coming out with, so.
Lavaudus: So you were able to mentor him?
Lavaudus: Oh, my goodness. It was great. I mean, it was. Yeah, I know, overall.
Lavaudus: I know overall it was talking about a teenager.
Lavaudus: Yes, overall, it was great. It was something I learned, and it's something that he learned, and now he's back home thriving. Back home thriving.
Lavaudus: It's like he might not have been otherwise.
Lavaudus: No, definitely not. He wouldn't have not graduated. He wouldn't have gotten into some trouble and would have been involved with the wrong friends. So now he's like the leader down there.
His name is David for a reason.
Lavaudus: Yeah. And so, you know, with. You and Liz are not able to have kids, so. But you kind of have filled that with being a coach.
Lavaudus: Yes.
Lavaudus: Tell me about your kids and your coaching and, you know, how you feel like maybe you might impact them.
Lavaudus: Oh, man,
those kids, I treat them like they're my own sons. You know, we. We went against them Napa in football, like, a couple weeks ago in our last game.
Lavaudus: No, no.
Lavaudus: Yeah, she from that area.
Lavaudus: Yeah.
Lavaudus: They had to go down. But, hey, they had us for a minute, though. First three quarters, y' all had us. Like, the first, like, three quarters, y' all just up and y' all were beating us.
And then it was just something that in me that, you know, told them, like, I got a time. I was like, hey, you can do this. Y' all got this, you know, And I gave it, like, a Ray Lewis type inspired speech, and it ended up, like, lighting a fire underneath them.
And they just.
And then, on a serious note, I ended up. Yeah,
I was just like,
I. I broke down.
I actually cried in front of them a little bit, you know, had a few tears come out saying how proud I was of them. Because this year has been, like, one of the worst years of my life.
And I hate the fact that, you know, things went down the way it did. And this right here is a br spot, and you guys did, like, so well. And, I mean, I'm glad that you responded the way that.
I mean, I'm just proud of you guys. I love you guys like my elf told every kid, like, I love you guys like y' all my own sons. Okay? That's how I look at y'.
All. Y' all my boys.
And it ended up like, you know, it's. A couple of them were like, thank you, Coach. And, oh, God, it was like, remember the Titans all over again?
But those boys.
Lavaudus: You know, part of the thing, too, is just when you. You think you're gonna go out and do this, it's kind of for them, but it's not. It is a two way street.
You know, when you. When you are out giving yourself, they end up giving back to you, too. And it is a two way. It's not just a one one-way street.
Lavaudus: Yes. They definitely teach me a lot. You know, be patient and also, you know,
you know,
and they listen and if they, if you motivate them the way, the way that, you know, God provides me with the, you know, the talent to do that, you know, because God, I mean, I thank God for all of this.
God is the reason for all of this. And he. They respond, you know, it's like, yeah, two-way street. You know, I learned stuff from them and it's like, hey, if I'm wrong about something when I'm coaching, they correct me and I'm like, cool.
That's cool, man. I mean, I'm. I mean, I'm not going to act like I'm perfect and better anybody, but yeah, I got gifts from them. I mean, a whistle with my name on it.
I may even got a card right there.
Lavaudus: That's a big whistle.
Lavaudus: Yeah, so it was a lot. It's kind of big. Yeah. And one of them gave me a card on the refrigerator saying, thank you for all the things you helped me do.
And they gave me a little coffee cup with the Warrington W on it. And there's another kid that said that he's gonna write a letter to me and pretty much appreciate me.
So.
Yeah, those kids, man, I. I love them so much and I'm glad that I do. I do. I enjoy it too. And I mean, money is not even when it comes to stuff like that because you get joyous on it.
And I tell everybody, I want you to tell, I want you to find what you love.
Please find what you love. Because if you do, then it will change your life in a sense where you dedicate it, you want to dedicate it to God first and then you just keep your mental straight, you know, because these are hard times for the world right now, hard times for the country.
But if you spend more time in your hobby, which I'm going to do now with my album,
it will,
it will. It'll make you flourish and make you, you know, not even like, worry about things, you know, because God tells us not to worry about things. So,
yeah, it's definitely a difference maker. And I really, like recommend you guys do that.
Lavaudus: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure.
Lavaudus: Yeah.
Lavaudus: Yeah. Well, I can't wait to see what God's going to do with you and anybody out there, you know, good job that doesn't require lifting.
Lavaudus: Yes,
a job that does. I mean. Well, I mean,
prayerfully, my. The medical stuff goes through and I have like, you know, the surgery with. On the hernia make sure that, you know, because right now I can't really lift, and I can't stand on my feet longer than two hours.
And right now I'm just waiting for the paperwork. Y' all know how that goes with the unemployment and the health stuff. And during the whole government shutdown,
it's gonna just take a long time, and I'm already patient. But it's just the fact that is, you know, it's just got to wait for it to happen. So if anybody know about anything that I can do that can, you know, bring a little finances to the.
I mean, a little funds to the house,
I appreciate it. I'm a very dedicated worker. I mean,
I've been at my job, like, at Alco for six years,
and before that, the Lincare with a few years, and I heard about Alsco and decided to go.
So these jobs that I've been to, I mean, I.
I've been committed, and people. People like me.
God. That's why.
Lavaudus: Yeah.
Lavaudus: So. Yeah, help. Help a brother out.
Lavaudus: Yeah. So good. So good. All right. Anything else you want to add?
Lavaudus: Yeah, definitely.
I just like anybody that needs time to. Not need someone to talk to.
Courage. I mean, I can. Like, Jan, I'm gonna circle back to that question.
I can, you know, like, listen. I mean, I can be a listener. You know, I'm not a person that just like, hey, I'm gonna give you the device, and then you go somewhere.
No, I can. I'm gonna listen to understand you, you know, so if you want to contact me on Facebook,
my name is Lavaudus Scott.
And we can chat on there, and we can. Yeah. Cause I got time on my hands. So you need someone to talk to without paying for a therapy session,
then. Yeah. Cause the tough times, then I'm. I'm your man. All right. So.
Lavaudus: And you like sports?
Lavaudus: Yeah, football's on right now,
you know,
Gold Bills. Because I don't like Chiefs, you know?
Yeah. So I mean, if I. I never, like, coached, like, basketball before or any other kind of thing, but I haven't coached football before either. Before I'm moving out here, and they just like, hey, just go out here and encourage the kids.
And I did. And now look at me now. I mean, they say I'm a great coach, so.
Lavaudus: Yeah. Yeah.
Lavaudus: So anything, if you guys need help and y' all can help me, like, with the ride there and back then. Yeah, definitely. I can help you with your coaching. Why not?
All right.
Well, I see. Good things for you. And I will put links in the show notes for all of your contacts, your music, and all of that stuff so that you can fill yourself with Lavaudus.
Lavaudus: Guys, it's filled with Jesus. So, yeah, that's what is. That's how it goes, right?
Lavaudus: Yeah. Singing about Jesus. Not just talking about it, we're singing about it.
