Starting point is 00:00:00 I watch him walk all the way to the car. He opens the car door. He leans in the car. He then comes back out of the car. He's holding an AR-15. Hey, this is Matt Cox, and I'm going to be doing, we're going to be doing a podcast with Juan Sanchez. And the, basically, basically the podcast is about, one, it's kind of about my, my dating,
Starting point is 00:00:30 but really it's about one specific chick that I dated recently. And it's basically, I'm letting the viewer know in this podcast what it's like to date in Florida. I think, I think, if you don't mind me interrupting you, all right. It's a combination of things. It's like what is like to be dating in Florida and what is like to be an ex-convict dating in Florida because I think there is a level of desperation perhaps. me? No, no, no. I'm on that group, too. Well, no, I'm not even, but honestly, in this specific event, like, this is a Florida thing.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Yeah, this had nothing to do with me being, like, this chick knew I had gone to prison. That's how I met her through a mutual friend that had also gone to prison. So, I just want to go ahead. So, I mean, I know bits and pieces of the story. Right, right. But I don't know if you've heard the whole story and how it unraveled and just how wrong it goes. Like, this is like it goes so bad. And yet it starts so good. But coming soon, one day, in. One day, in the near future, we will have Matt telling us a story about his dating life that actually went right. Yeah, we're saying it's coming.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Yeah. Well, maybe. You have to get all the nose out of the way like in sales. Right. All right. So here's what's, um, all right. So let me, let me just jump right into it. So I, I'm going to, I dated this chick, Jess, for a couple years.
Starting point is 00:01:52 We broke up. And I say we, like I had something to do with it technically. She ditched me. So she broke out with me. and I went about a month without dating anybody I was just so fucked up so heartbroken and just upset about the whole thing but eventually I start dating
Starting point is 00:02:08 I went on a few dates so I dated this one chick it was okay I dated another girl it was okay dated another girl so but I ended up going on a date with this one girl let me tell you how it happened I went on Facebook has a dating app I've heard about it it's good because it's free and it's like
Starting point is 00:02:25 and so a lot of times you will When you're going through the app, you'll realize, hey, this girl's on this app. She's gorgeous. And we have three mutual friends. Aren't the standards a little lower when you're going to a free app versus like a pay service? This is just as good. This is better than match. It's better than Bumble. It's better than all those. Okay. So I go on the app. So, you know, I fill it all this stuff. And I've got a nice little, you know, nice little profile and everything. Of course you do. I'm scrolling through, right? I've got, you know. Are you Gary Sullivan and the profile? that's funny so I'm Matt Cox I'm scroll I'm basically I'm it's basically more more about me being an artist like I don't say right off the bat hey here's what's going on but if they but they can easily
Starting point is 00:03:08 go to my they can easily go to my profile and figure that out regardless it's mostly about just being an artist right so you know because I paint paintings and so it's basically about being an artist and that that's who I am and I'm newly single and looking and interested in a long-term relationship and you know tells everything about you so I was scrolling one day and I see this one girl and I thought, I like this chick. She's, listen, bone thin. I mean, like, what was it? Heroin chic, right? Like, you've heard the term heroin. Yes, yes. It's a very vogue. Yeah, super thin. She's got, she's got a frohawk. You know, that it's like a mohawk, but you still have hair on the side of your head. Okay. Got a frohawk. She's got tattoos on her
Starting point is 00:03:52 arms and her shoulder. I mean, look, like super strikingly sexy and, and, and, like a chick that's 38 years old that has a mohawk or a rohawk and that's the thing right now that's a look that i don't know if it's a look i know it's what i like and most people would say oh no bro this isn't i'll explain so colby do me a favor so here's what we're going to do uh so her name i'm not going to give her last name uh it's um alissa and this is alissa's picture which we're going to callby's going to throw up right here over one we're going to throw up a couple pictures and we're going to wait a second so colby's going to have them kind of come up and they're going to fade. We're going to do another one. I've got like three. I got like two or three. No,
Starting point is 00:04:31 I got like three or four good shots of her. So people are going to look at it. Most people are going to say, bro, like that's not your type. You don't understand. That is my type. And I don't know about the Frohawk, but the rest of her. Thin tattoos. Wild. Wild. Wild. Free spirit. Right. The problem is those chicks basically when they meet me, they're like, you're not my type. Like you're, they look at me like I'm a business guy or something. It's like that's not what I am at all. Like, that's not my, that's, for some reason, I just come off that. I come off arrogant and cocky and entitled in middle class.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I know, I know, I know. I know, I don't believe. I know you don't see that. These ladies have to be, see, you know, deeper than that. So, but, you know, usually, you know what gets someone by that? Typically, once they realize, oh, he's been to prison, he was on the run. He was there like, oh, okay, he's, he's a little bit wild too. And then it sinks in there like, all right, we're good.
Starting point is 00:05:22 So this chick, I liked her. I saw her. you know that there is a huge issue with that that I have there's mental problems I mean there's a mental there's some issues I think okay this dude is an ex-convict and this is he's I'm gonna take him home to my parents I get that I get that but so I'm going through the app I see her I look through her thing and I think hey she's she doesn't have a lot on the app it's very brief but I look I think she's sexy and I I you can put like or just like boom I like her and then you have they have to like you back for you to communicate well you can send him a
Starting point is 00:05:50 stupid message or something but I went you know like and I sat there and then like I think I want to say i'm going to say a day went by but whatever some time went by maybe a day and i i went back to her app or no that was it i noticed that we had a friend in common when she didn't get back to me or however it works i went to my buddy his name is vesser and i was locked up with vesser i was in coleman with vesser so i go to vesser and i hit him up and i talked to him every once well and i hit up vesser and i said hey bro i said do you know this girl um alissa and he said yeah i know her He said, I've known her since she was 14 years old. She used to date the bass player or the, no, no, yeah, the bass player in my band.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And I was like, bro, I want to, I want to meet her. It says, because I went on her profile, says she's a widow. I said, she says she's a widow, says she's single. I want to date her. I mean, I, and he goes, ah, bro, I don't know. Like, I don't think she's her type. I went, no, no, she is my type. I said, you don't know what my type is.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Okay. That's my type. And he went, I don't think she's dating, bro. And I went, why? why? And he said, well, she's got some issues she's going through. Like, there's stuff going on. I don't say, there's stuff going on with her. And he's being polite. I get it. And, you know, he doesn't want to put her business out there. That's fine. And he said, and I said, bro, do me a favor. Just tell her that I'm interested. I liked her on the profile. I mean, I liked her profile. I liked
Starting point is 00:07:12 her on Facebook dating, the dating app. I said, just, but I didn't get a response or whatever the reason was. I said, so do just do me a favor. And he goes, I mean, I'll ask her, bro. I'll ask her. So he contacts her and he comes back and she said he said she said for you to email or to to contact her through messenger he said she's interested facebook messenger facebook messenger great i go straight there boom hey i'm vester's friend i know he talked to you i want to go out i'm going to take you out on a date like i'm very direct not pussyfoot around we're not waiting four weeks for me to say hey maybe we should i did 13 years if i'm gonna get some is happening today let's do it yeah yeah yeah that's not what i said i didn't say get some i didn't say i'm looking at
Starting point is 00:07:52 for a long-term relationship with a nice chick. I don't mind if she's got some baggage. Have you tried church? Church? You're the problem with good Christians? They don't put out? You can't do this the whole time. Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:07 You really can't. Is this a serious? Okay. But the problem with good Christians is they don't realize that, you know, like, that like, you know, it's supposed to be about being all-encompassing and being forgiveness and everything. But the truth is most Christians use Christianity to exclude. So you think you will not be accepted in a family, in a wholesome Christian family?
Starting point is 00:08:26 That's what I think. And I noticed that a lot of people are like, was he good Christian? So instead of saying, hey, let's bring him into the fold, they try and exclude, oh, he was locked up. Oh, that's horrible. What are you talking about? Like, what do you think that they, Jesus was a criminal? They hung him. I mean, they hung him. I think you're talking about another Jesus, maybe Jesus Martinez. No, they nailed this dude. He listened, he broke the law. They nailed him onto a cross. You are on to something. I mean, I'm saying. I'm just saying. Apostle Paul, he wrote, he wrote most of the Bible in prison. I think, yeah, he was in prison, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Of course. But people, they don't think that they're always, whatever. That's another podcast. That's in the podcast. So here's what happens. So I send her, I send Alyssa a thing. Hey, I know Vesser. I'd like to take you out.
Starting point is 00:09:09 She comes back and she's like, well, okay. I don't usually date. And I was like, well, I mean, I would like to take you out. I mean, I, I know. I know there's something. issues like I'd like to meet you I want to meet you let's hook up let's meet I said the worst that happens is you meet an interesting person a friend of a friend is you you have dinner with a friend of a friend there's nothing wrong with that let's let's let's do this she says okay
Starting point is 00:09:33 so then we schedule a time to go to eat a couple days later I'd we meet I she says I'll meet you halfway said no no I'll drive to you because I was trying to drive to them the first time you know what I'm saying at least the first time to let because if it goes wrong I don't want them to feel like man I drove 45 minutes I met this guy he's a complete a douchebag. I'm not interested in him. And, you know, so I always pay for dinner. I always pay for dinner anyway. Like I never let. To make the drive worth. I mean, I draw 45 minutes to meet this douchebag, but at least you get a free meal out of it. You get a free meal and you didn't drive. No, you didn't drive 45 minutes. So you don't drive 45 minutes. So you meet her on her neck of
Starting point is 00:10:08 the woods. I meet you near close to you. Okay. And I pay for that. Pay for the dinner. Okay. That's a gentleman. Sounds like a deal. Not opening your door and doing all that because then they expect it forever. And you know, it's just, it's just silly. Not don't he's doing that. So I go and I meet her. You know, we meet outside. She pulls up. She's like, hey, I'm here. We're texting.

Starting point is 00:15:45 She said, I mean, she was, for me to get involved with somebody, she was to watch me deteriorate. And she said, you know, I just, I just can't. I mean, that's kind of like a noble. It is, but keep mind, too. She said, I did actually was dating somebody. She said, but after it ended, she said, I decided that that's, I'm just not doing it again. I'm not going to do this to somebody. I was like, well, I said, oh, okay, so you did date.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And she goes, yeah, I said, well, tell me your story. Tell me the story. I said, well, you were telling me the story. Tell me the story. And she said, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:16:16 I said, something might spark my interest. She goes, I said, because honestly, I said, I only write about criminals. I said, you don't seem to have a crime story. And she says, no. And I said, okay. Bro, she had a bad husband. Fucking, hey, bro, dude. So anyway, she says, she tells me about the husband.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And what happened was she's like two years ago, the husband basically started using drugs. Okay? So she goes, she starts using drugs. and he's disappearing for days at a time and he's acting erratic and she said so we you know we argue we try and get him off the drugs we do this we do that she's but he's
Starting point is 00:16:52 incomplete even when he would get off the drugs and he was sober she said he was a completely different person she said I don't know what happened it was meth it was meth and she said he was a completely different person she's just his entire everything about him just changed suddenly she says and this is a guy that she'd been married to for I want to say
Starting point is 00:17:07 16 years at that point so this is the father of the three kids all three kids okay so if it I'm pretty sure it's three kids so she said so for 16 years she was married to this guy and then suddenly boom drug use and then she said completely changed she said at one point
Starting point is 00:17:23 she had to call the police and she said so I kicked him out of the house and she said he kept seeing our kids no big deal you know trying to make the best of it and then she said so I started dating I started dating another guy she starts dating this other guy
Starting point is 00:17:40 and so his name is Chris. Okay. So she starts dating Chris. And so she's dating Chris and she's like, you know, and it's okay. She's a bit, very quickly she has a deteriorates. It becomes abusive. She said, that goes on about six months to a year. She dates him six months to a year. She said it's so bad and she's so not physically abusive, but mentally abusive. She says, he just calls me names, talks down to me, just horrible guy. And she said, so he's so bad that at some point she says, I actually get a restraining order against him. And I was like, okay, and I know that's true because I only think that's true. One, she said it and two, Vesser also told me she has a restraining.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Okay. This comes up later. So, okay, fine. So I'm sitting there and, you know, and she tells me the whole story. And then one day, she said one day about six or eight months ago, because all this happened in the last month. So six or eight months ago, she goes, so six or eight months ago, my husband, she gets the phone call where her husband drove his car off the road or swerved off the road, whatever it was, off the road, hit a bunch of trees, flip the car, hit a bunch of trees, ends up in the hospital, six days later or seven days later, he dies. He's on a ventilator.
Starting point is 00:18:45 They eventually, he's brain dead. They pull the plug. When they, when they, she's recently widowed. About eight months ago. Okay. So when they do the brain scan of him, they've turned out he had early stages of, of, a dementia, which is probably why he was doing the meth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:04 You know what I'm saying? So he's self-medicating. So that's why he came on. So suddenly, she's like, never, no drug use prior to that. That was a change your personalities and all this. Everything. So it all makes sense. So I'm listening to her and I'm like, okay, wow, okay, I get that.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I get that. But then the boyfriend, the ex-boyfriend, I'm like, so what about the ex-c, Chris? I go, well, what's up with the ex-boyfriend? And she says, well, he, she says, I haven't seen him. She was, he comes around, he follows me, like I see him every once in a while. And she was, she was, she was, I don't. She was, I see, I mean, you know bits and pieces, so people don't. So she was, I see, she was, I don't see him.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Like, he was, basically, she said, he stalks me. she was he stalking me all the time he follows me he shows up places i'm at he tries to talk to me she was but it's over like it's been over for six months six or eight months she's it's just over and she's so i got the restraining order she was i just she's i don't know she's i'm hoping he'll just go away eventually i'm like okay i get that so anyway so then she tells me about her kids and you know there's this one and this i'm not going to say the kids names this one and this one and my daughter and this and that i'm like okay i'm like well why don't you date and she's like you know i just feel like if what if something happens about me so she she's got a whole thing
Starting point is 00:20:08 thing. And I get it. So whatever. We talk and we talk. She talked like I could tell this is somebody who needed to talk. Like I remember when she, when we got to, after 45 minutes of her telling her story, she turns to me, she's like, so what are you doing? Like I see that there's stuff and I go, I mean, I don't really listen. I do a podcast. I do, I give her a real short five or 10 minute readers digest version of what I'm doing, you know, because at this point, we're done with dinner. It's been over an hour and a half at this point because it took 15 minutes to get to the point where I figured out it was cancer. Then it's 45 minutes after it.
Starting point is 00:20:39 She's been talking for over an hour. I talked for 50. It's now 15 minutes. It's now been an hour in 15 or 20 minutes. We've eaten. The check comes. She goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, I got it. I got it, no, no, I pay.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I said, okay, I said, all right, well, listen, you know. I said, I've had a great time. I was, I'm glad I, and she goes, I'm so sorry you drove an hour and a half. I said, no, no. I said, this was worth a drive. I said, meeting you was worth the drive. I said, you seem like a super interesting person. I said, I'm so sorry about the cancer.
Starting point is 00:21:05 and I said, I, you know, I'm sorry. I said, I don't know what to say. There's no, there's nothing good for me to say here. And she goes, no, I get it. I get it. She sat there and she said, um, she says, I'm having a good time. And I went, okay. And she went, do you want to go do something?
Starting point is 00:21:22 And I was like, um, sure, sure. I said, what, what do you want to do? And she went, um, do you like pool? I said, she was, can you play pool? I said, I can't play pool. I do not play pool well. I said she was you were locked up for almost 13 years She goes and you don't play pool well
Starting point is 00:21:38 I said I spent most of my time in the library I'm a writer yeah exactly I rode my way through prison Right so like Hamilton So I really at this point I feel like I wish I'd called Josh and had him show up So anyway So she says okay
Starting point is 00:21:58 She goes okay well I said but hey I'm willing to play I would love to play pool with you let's go play pool because you know look she's got cancer like I feel what she's drinking um you know I want to say she did have some some she had like a drink or something okay you know and what seen it was so funny remember I told you how thin she was like I was like that's what I'm asking you I mean right well I remember looking at her thinking as soon as she said cancer I remember thinking oh wow she's not like skinny because it's stylish she's sick like but listen but beautiful beautiful chick um anyway I I said absolutely let's go play pool like listen
Starting point is 00:22:32 This chick wants to do anything. She says, I want to go play pop pop golf. Of course. I don't know why we're not already there. Go cards, whatever. Bowling? Yo-yo. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Like, I'm doing whatever you want to do. Yeah. So it's not going to make a wish. Right. So what fucking dick. Anyway, anyway. Well, you know, let me tell you something. He's thinking about starting a YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I am suggesting don't subscribe. Listen. What kind of sick fuck? This is the problem. I'm saying what he's, thinking. No, I'm not thinking it. Because I thought she was sexy and I thought she was super cool and I liked her. So anyway, look, listen. So I dated like Jess, right? Like I literally can't stop thinking about Jess. And I'll go on dates with other women. Comparing her.
Starting point is 00:23:18 She's your point. I think she's like your point of comparison. Absolutely. Which is horrible because I see Jess in a way that, that's, I have her on a pedestal. And so I'm sitting there, I'll go on a date with another girl and the whole time she's talking. Would this be the replacement for Jess? Oh yeah, I am the whole time And I'm thinking to myself Like I'm even Sometimes I'm sitting there thinking
Starting point is 00:23:36 Jess would never say that Jeff would never do that That's horrible I know it's horrible I know it's fucking old But listen It had been only a month It'd been a month
Starting point is 00:23:42 I dated Jess for two years It's been a month So what happens is But when I was with Alyssa I didn't do that The whole time I was just engrossed In talking with her Do you think she has similarities
Starting point is 00:23:54 To Jess I mean she does Look like the way she talked Or the things she said Or somewhat And super thin and she was shy and really just genuine, like a genuine person.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Like when she says something, I just automatically believe it. Like it didn't seem, nothing she said. Nothing fake. She wasn't fake. She wasn't. She wasn't.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Like she was just who she was. Like, hey, I'm showing up in cowboy boots and blue jeans and you'll deal with it. And she came clean from the beginning, which is good. Absolutely. It wasn't anything like, let's build up and then I'm going to tell you why we're not going to work out. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:27 So you've got to appreciate that. And that's, listen, hey, and the whole thing like showing up in cowboys blue jeans and a t-shirt and just being like this is how it is i got a little bit of makeup on you'll deal with it oh you don't like it okay well kick block and that's just yes she could give a crap same thing with this chick this chick was like this is the kind of chick that i knew she'll wrestle with you she'll punch you in the arm if you give her a hard time if you say if you say something wrong she'll be like what did you just say you know she's not gonna yes she's not a pushover right and i can't have a pushover because i will absolutely if i date a chick who's a
Starting point is 00:24:56 pushover i will absolutely dominate the entire relationship and i know that even though i'm okay with it. I know it's a mistake. In the end, I need a chick that pushes back. That Alyssa would push back. Just pushed back. That's the only way you get anywhere with me. So I sat there. So I thought, hey, I like this chick. I'm going to go play pool with her. Cool. I still don't think anything. She doesn't date. I get it. You want to spend the rest of your time with your kids. I get that. You made your mind up. So we go to the pool place. I remember we were walking in the pool place. And I said, oh, man, I said, this looks like a little bit rougher of an establishment that I'm used to. I said, I don't know that I'm, I said, but I said, I'm okay.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And she goes, you're okay? I said, a little bit rougher of an established than I'm used to. And she looked at me and she goes, well, you're with me. She says, you'll be all right. And I just thought, so, so cute, you know. And I was like, I said, all right. I said, she is, are you feel comfortable? I said, no, no, we're good.
Starting point is 00:25:47 We go in there. She knows everybody. And everybody there, by the way, all of them were like, I haven't seen you and what, it's been a year or it's been six months. So what she had told me was this. I hardly ever leave my house. I spend all my time with my kids. I drive them everywhere they want to go.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I do nothing but I basically at this point I'm staying. She's not working. She's just not working. I'm just hanging out for my kids. How's she making money? I mean, one, she's, I'm sure she probably, I don't know this, but I'm assuming SSD, Social Security Disability. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I'm assuming she's got Medicare or Medicaid or all the, all the, all the medical stuff. And then obviously if you have cancer, you get certain benefits. So I, I am assuming that a lot of that is, you know, plus I'm assuming also she's got maybe the house is paid for. I don't know. Okay. I don't really know. It's none of my business.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I didn't ask. She's surviving somehow. And so we go in, but it's obvious that everybody there knows her. But they're also, when they hug her and say hi to her, they're also all saying, I haven't seen you in a year. I haven't seen you in. It's been at least six months. It's been. Where have you been?
Starting point is 00:26:47 So I realize everything she's saying is right. She's no going out. She doesn't go out, right? We play pool. She gets a drink or two. We play pool. She beats me three games in a row like it's nothing. At one point, she stopped.
Starting point is 00:27:01 She actually misses a couple shots. And I look at her, I go, what are you doing? And she goes, what? And I went, you, I could have made that shot. And she goes, I go, are you losing on purpose? She goes, I don't want to take your man card from you. I know it's important for guys to win. And I go, no, no, no, don't do that.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I said, beat me like you'd beat anybody. And she goes, are you sure? And I go, yes. And beat the hell out of me three games in a row. She's like a shark. So, but listen, we sit down. down at the table. We talk shit. We laugh. We have fun. We flirt with each other a little bit. Then when it's, now it's at like 12 o'clock. And she's like, you have an hour and a half
Starting point is 00:27:38 drive. And she's, I can't keep you out any longer. I went, she goes, I mean, I could stay out with you all night. And I went, I said, no, I said, yeah, I'm going to get going. So I get going. We walk outside. And when we're standing outside, she turns to me and she says, I know exactly how she said it, but she went, can I tell you something? I went, yeah, what? She goes, I had a great time. I went, I had a great time too. And she said, I wish this had been a date. And I just remember thinking, wow. I had this looked at her.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I went, well, it was a date. This is heading to somewhere like really bad, isn't it? So I said, listen, this is. Because it's a great story. It is a good story. No, it's a good story. And I said, I said, you know what? I said, Alyssa, I go, it was a date.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I said, I know you don't date. I'm going to let you think about it. Said, I'm not going to move in for a kiss. I'm not going to push the envelope. And she goes, okay. I said, I'm going to, I'm going to leave. and normally I always fucking I'm always going to go in for the kiss
Starting point is 00:28:31 always because it separates right then because what you don't want to do is get to the second or third date and then find out oh I just want to be friends okay right so I just dated you did I just pay for three dinners you want to crush that friend zone from the get-go smash it get it out of the way but I'd already put it out of my mind
Starting point is 00:28:47 and at that point and but when she said that I was like wow so I said look I said look you know what I know you have an issue I'm not going to push the envelope she says okay she's that's good and I said so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go home and tomorrow I said I said, I'm going to call you up and I'm going to ask you out on another date. I said, is that cool?
Starting point is 00:29:01 And she looked at me and she went, you know, this ends bad, right? She said, man, let's be honest. She said, I'm going to die. She said, I mean, I'm, I'm okay now. She's, I'm healthy. I'm healthy right now. But she said, I don't know when things are going to progress. She said, it may be two years.
Starting point is 00:29:23 She said, it may be two months. She said, I don't know. She said, and I said, well, look, well, We don't have to get into all that right now. I said, the bottom line is I said, let's just go on a few dates. I said, and we'll see what happens. And I said, she was like, I just don't know. And I went, I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'm going to call you tomorrow. Get in the car. Listen, we texted the entire, for an hour and a half while I'm driving, almost myself killed a couple times, talked on the phone, got home, texted until probably three o'clock in the morning. So she could carry a conversation. Super funny. She at least thinks she's funny.
Starting point is 00:29:58 like you. So she's super funny, super smart, really cool chick. I go to bed. The next day I call her, I said, great, when do you want to go out? And she goes, oh, my God. She says, are you sure about this? She's like, you don't understand. I said, look, what does it matter?
Starting point is 00:30:11 I said, we go on a couple days. And she says, listen, she said, Matt, I already like you. I already know I like you. I already know this could be something. I already know this, you're a great guy. I can tell I like you. And I went, well, then let's go out. And then she said, let me think about this.
Starting point is 00:30:28 came back a couple hours later we start texting and she's like okay look yeah let's go out let's go out so we schedule a time to go out now the problem was i had to go to um i had to go to ohio so i go to ohio and i come back and we're supposed to go out wait no that's not true that's not true scratch that that's not when that happened so what happened is i um no it was a few days it was a few days later. Like she had something to do, then I had something to do. So it was like three days, four days later we were going to go out. The whole time we're texting, texting, texting. You know, you're so funny. You're so this. There was a line of a communication open at all time. Open line of communication going all the way up to the day I'm supposed to meet her.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Actually, I'm supposed to meet her that like right then. I'm supposed to meet her. We were going to meet at Ford's garage in between the two of us. So it was like a 45 minute drive for both of us. Perfect. We have the time, we send it, everything's great, and then,
Starting point is 00:31:31 and then she ghost me. Ghost me. Blocked or not? No, just ghosts. I like the fact that you didn't hold back and laugh and laugh. There's a company.
Starting point is 00:31:44 So right now, I'm just, you know, I mean, at least pretend, at least pretend to be a sensitive person and not. Well, I'm sure she broke your heart.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Look, I did like her. I mean, I did, you know, but, you know, it's one date. It's not broken heart. It's one date, okay? So it's one good date where it was like, wow, I felt like there's a connection. Well, plus, this is my Dr. Phil. Okay, kind of situation here. Plus, you saw a possibility of getting over Jess with this girl.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yes. Which really, I think, was a silver lining of this whole thing. Oh, my God, I found somebody that can replace this person. Right. And I don't know about, I don't want to say replace, but somebody that can help me get over. Let's say get over. You found your rebound. Somebody that.
Starting point is 00:32:30 What is it? Listen, I mean, can you cheat? Like, I found somebody that I thought I would have interest in that I would like that I could maybe help me move on. That's what I thought. Copy, can you Google rebound to see if that's a definition of it? I hate to say that because I don't feel like, like, I don't see me. I don't know about the whole getting over somebody. You know, sometimes you just don't get over people.
Starting point is 00:32:50 You just realize you just go on. So the point is is that I feel like this is somebody that could help take my mind off of her somebody that could It's a different direction So I was excited about it
Starting point is 00:32:59 Somebody I was genuinely interested in Well she ghost me I was Am I coming off like a total fucking pussy Is that it? No no but I'm thinking like If I got Kobe fucking laughing If you ever had
Starting point is 00:33:15 I don't know If you were ever planning To use this platform To find dates Yeah The fact that you're exposing yourself like, listen, I don't care who you are, I'm never going to get over this girl. No, I, you know, that's not. That's, you know, I'm not, that's not what's happened.
Starting point is 00:33:29 What I'm saying is that. I'm sure there's a bunch of women right now when Matt Cox, yeah. No, what I'm saying. Let's go for, let's go for the Latino. Listen, the chick that I end up with knows what I'm saying. Okay. So I'm not concerned about that. Yeah, well, listen, there's how many girls out there, they broke up, I broke up, and they're always going to kind of be like, well, that person's special.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Do they get over them? Is it like, I'm as crazy as it sounds. I'm a romantic. God, are you fucking serious? Dude, I married my elementary school sweetheart. She's the mother of my two kids. I was a horrible husband, but until this date, that was a love of my life.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Okay, what can I do? See? That happens. People know. People understand that, right? Yeah. So what ends up happening is... But I'm open to options, so, you know...
Starting point is 00:34:14 Oh, yeah, I'm looking. I'm looking. Listen, I'm dying to get over this chicken. I'm hoping that happens, and this may have been it, but it goes bad. Okay. So she ghost me, whatever. Okay, I don't know what happened,
Starting point is 00:34:27 but I end up sending her a message. Like, after a couple of days, I'm just like... Are you like insanely texting her? Oh, no, I'm not a nut, bro. I'm not stalking her. Okay. I'm just texting you right now to see if you got my last text. No, no, I'm not an idiot.
Starting point is 00:34:43 First of all, it's Messenger. You know if they got your last text. I'm going to send you not send you I'm going to just well I guess can I can I send it oh wait did I I know what I did I got it I got it I got it I know what I did I think I actually already did this
Starting point is 00:35:04 so that I could so that you can you'll realize you'll say okay I get it um hold on Um, what is this? Oh, Jesus. What happened here? Oh, okay. I, I really, I think I fucked up.
Starting point is 00:35:37 You know where glasses to read their texts? No. I mean, I do need glasses, but I'm usually pretty good. It's pretty bright. Okay, here's what I'm going to do. I'm just going to tell you what it is. I didn't actually already, I thought I'd saved it, but I was prepared so it could read it. But whatever. The point is, is I basically send her a text and I said, listen, it appears that you've ghosted me. I'm like, you know, I said, I personally think I deserve better than that.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I said, there's a lot of ways you could have handled this better. You could have told me, and this is like, I don't remember exactly what I said. It basically said, look, you could have simply told me, I don't want to date you. I want to spend the rest of my time. with my kids. You could have said, I don't like you. I'm not ready emotional. Not ready. I don't like you. I'm dying, whatever. Right, right. There was lots of ways, but to simply just not respond. I said, I believe I deserved a little bit more respect than that. I said, but you know what? I said, I get it. I said,
Starting point is 00:36:29 you're not interested. That's fine. I said, what I would like to say is this. I said, given your situation, I want to let you know that I hope you have the best result possible given the issue at hand. And I wish the absolute best for you. I said, and I said, and I am genuinely sad that you and I didn't get to know each other. And that's really all I have to say. So here was her response to that. Oh, my God, that long text. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:55 She sent, yeah. So, oh, no, I sent that to her. A week goes by. So I sent my text, and a week goes by. I'm done. Like, I don't, she's gone. I've not been thinking about this shit. And one day, she hits me up on Messenger.
Starting point is 00:37:07 And here's what it says. It has nothing to do with not being interested. It has to do with being scared. And feeling things I'm not sure I'm ready for and being terrified to move forward B.C. for some fucked up reason I don't feel like I should be able to. It has to do with feeling guilty for still being the one living for some reason. I owe you an apology for ghosting. It is so unbelievably out of character for me, but I'm not myself anymore to say the least. The last thing I wish to do is hurt you or anyone. And I'm
Starting point is 00:37:37 scared that in my current situation, hurting people I care about is inevitable. So I'm scared to care in a way okay now why does you sound like a robot just kidding I thought
Starting point is 00:37:49 what bothers me is that you're laughing which means that people I know I thought was like you know
Starting point is 00:37:54 you know what I picture coming somebody like going I'm sorry man man I can not go out
Starting point is 00:37:58 I mean I really I really honestly genuinely at this point I wish Josh had been here
Starting point is 00:38:02 so what ends up happening is I text her back you know hey don't be silly this is
Starting point is 00:38:08 ridiculous you know and then she comes back and we end up so you reconnected
Starting point is 00:38:12 we reconnected and I mean when I say reconnected I mean like like literally that this is the like this is the message and I mean it goes it just goes on and on I mean it sounds like you had a legit reason like this and I you know I mean this is this is like we just went on and on so the point is we're going on and on we end up getting on the phone so I finally I say to her look just call me boom immediately she calls me she is I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry it's okay I get it you're scared you're freaked out it's fine I said so what's what's the change of heart. And she said, talk to my daughter. My daughter said that I should date you. My kids want me to date. They want me to date you. They're like, mom, you should date this guy. You said,
Starting point is 00:38:51 you really like him. He's a great guy. He's this. He's that. You had it felt there was a connection. We want you to be happy. Nice. And I said, okay. And she said, and I said, look, I said, like I said, we don't even know. And she says, listen, Matt, let's be honest. She says, let's be honest. She said, I already like you. I know I'm going to like you. She doesn't, let's be honest. You've met me. I went right. She was by the second, she was by art. She was, she was, in two more dates. She was, you're going to be in love.
Starting point is 00:39:17 I'm amazing. And I just died laughing. I said, this chick, that's me, bro. That's me. She's sweetie. And I went, I said, oh, I said, you know, you are amazing. She's, I really am. She's, I really am.
Starting point is 00:39:28 And I said, absolutely. She said, so, yeah, I definitely want to move this forward. And she says, what are your thoughts on things going bad? And I said, first of all, she said, you know, remember at one point she said you understand that if this works out she says and i feel like it will she's this will be an amazing romance she's for maybe two years she's if we're lucky she says then it's going to be six months to a year of real really really a bad situation and she is are you okay with that and i go and then she said she says then i die she goes and you spend the rest of your life trying to
Starting point is 00:40:05 get over me and i said honestly i said if i spend the rest of my life trying to get over you i go you are worth it. Yeah, absolutely. And she goes, I said, so if that's what, I said, if I get two, two or three solid years, I said, that's a fucking blessing. I'll take it. Let me tell you, I think, I think these girls, and I'm talking about her and other girls that may be in that situation, they don't understand that we've been to prison, bro. Yeah. We lost people that we loved and people and things that we had. So we're okay with losing. Right. It's random. Listen, I always say that I've been losing my whole, if you're not losing in life, you're not trying hard enough. And you're holding on to shit that you're going to lose anyways.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Not just that. I told her, I said, look, I could die in a car accident on my way home. You could die of a brain embolism tomorrow. You may not die of cancer at all. We don't know. What I do know is what I'm concerned about right now is making it to tomorrow morning. That's it. And I said, that's all I'm concerned with.
Starting point is 00:40:58 And the fact of the matter is, I said, anything above that is a bonus. And I said, and when bad things come up, I said, at that point, I will deal with it. I said, I'm not going to run away. and she went, God, she says, you were saying all the right things. She says, do you have any idea? She said, I mean, I just didn't think I was going to meet a guy like you. Plus, she was like, plus you weren't mad. You weren't angry about me disappearing.
Starting point is 00:41:23 And I was like, no, why would I be angry? And I said, I was sad. I was just kind of sad about it. And I'm, you know, and I said, look, I'm not, I'm not that guy. I'm not your ex-boyfriend who's going to call you names and pick on you and be an asshole. I'm not going to be that person. I'm not going to question where you've been or if you're faithful or I'm not doing that. If I start to not trust you, I'll just stop seeing you.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Like, I'm not doing that. So we talk, it's great. She's like, I like you so much. Oh my God, I can't wait to see you. I can't wait. This is great. This is great. This is great.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Let's go tonight. Great. Ford's garage. No, no, no, no, no. That's not true. That's not true. We went about three more days. No, then I went to Ohio.
Starting point is 00:42:04 So then I go to Ohio. We're texting the whole time. damn it I didn't go to Ohio it was uh it was um Oklahoma I went to Oklahoma City I was I was gonna say yeah you weren't Oklahoma no no no oh that was so I went to Oklahoma and we're texting the whole time she's telling me about her kids what's going on I'm telling hey I'm doing this I'm sending her pictures of the the shoot that I did I did a whole commercial thing up there so I sent her pictures like we're talks texting we're flirting we're great we talk on the phone like everything's great I get back we're supposed to go oh I remember what I told her I said
Starting point is 00:42:35 well, where do you want to go? And she said, well, I said, we'll go out Saturday the day after I get back. And she was Saturday. She went, well, what time Saturday? I go, no, no, no, no, all Saturday. The whole day, I go, what's on your bucket list? Let's start checking some shit off. What?
Starting point is 00:42:54 I don't know. She had already told me they were things. She had a bucket list. And she goes, okay, she is, you know what? She said, Chalupas. I went, what? She was chalupa. She was in Clearwater Beach.
Starting point is 00:43:04 She goes, I used to, I stayed for a week when I'm in my teens on Clearwater Beach and there was a place there that I used to eat Chalupas at every day. They were amazing. I want to go there and get Chalupas. I haven't had one in like 20 years. You know what? When people are close to dying, the Alwis, the last thing they want is something Hispanic. What a dick. We are on. I mean, listen, take note. If he has a channel. We are on everybody's bucket. If he ever has a channel, do not subscribe. All right. So, what ends up happening I mean do you understand that part of being like a kind of like a YouTube personality is being likable listen
Starting point is 00:43:43 I'm just stating facts here and what bothers me is Colby doesn't say anything do you know that Colby let you and I say fans only for a fucking hour yeah Kobe and he was fine with it and he was okay with it yeah listen he's making notes fans only that's yeah by the 20th comment
Starting point is 00:44:00 I started hating Colby I know Because I'm having, guys are like, why were you doing that? That was funny, bro. Why were you doing it? I was like, no, no. Because I don't know. You're trying to hide the fact that you, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah. Like, he doesn't know that it's, no, I don't. You know, so anyway, um, what I do now. Oh, no. And what ends up happening is, I'm all excited. I get back. I'm ready to go. Boom.
Starting point is 00:44:25 She ghosted me again. On that Saturday? The day of the date? No, no. No, on Friday, the day before that. The day before the date. Okay. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And I flew back. I'm like, I couldn't believe it. I was like, I cannot believe this shit just did this again. So I send her another thing saying, I don't know what happened. I don't know if you're, I don't know if things went wrong. I don't know if you're in the house. Like, I don't know what happened. I don't know what went wrong with this chick.
Starting point is 00:44:59 But something went wrong. Is she, I don't know. I don't know. But I was just in absolute shock. And I thought, this is insane. Like, the last conversation we had was she was talking about selling her house, taking the money, taking the money, and spending, like, the last, she said, spend the next year just traveling. And I go, where do you want to go? And she was like, I want to go here and here.
Starting point is 00:45:26 I said, I got a passport. We got to get your passport. I said, I'm ready to go. She's, are you serious? You would go? I said, absolutely, I would go. absolutely go with you. I said, I will be your wingman, wherever you want to go.
Starting point is 00:45:37 I said, I mean, assuming that this works out, and it's going to work out. I said, everything about her is saying, this is it, this is it. I'm like, okay, great. Now, keep in mind, too, I'm still in my mind thinking, look, we haven't kissed. Well, kissing is a big thing for me. Well, like, I'm a big thing for everybody. Yeah, well, I think it's like, I'm a good kisser. Like, listen, that's, like, I'm a good kisser.
Starting point is 00:45:56 So I need, I need, I need, I need, I need to, she has to be a good kisser. Say something. Say something. Say something. Fuck all. You know, do you realize how good I've been about cussing on this show? I haven't cursed and so many. There's been tons. I was going to say that was a rumor in Coleman Lowe, but why, why am I going to go? Why, why am I going to go there?
Starting point is 00:46:15 There is no need for me to say that. I will not say that. What a dick. So anyway. I think Colby comes here. I don't like Colby even being here anymore. Colby loves it. We're getting a shield.
Starting point is 00:46:27 He enjoys entertainment. He just sits there and laughs. We're getting the shield. I want a, I'm getting a particle. board like things so you can't see him anymore. Anyway, what ends up happening is, so I send her another thing saying, hey, I think I deserve better than this. The same basic thing I sent the first time. But regardless, I'm not mad. I'm just really sad that we didn't get to know each other. Good luck with your with good luck with you. I mean, you're going to put yourself in
Starting point is 00:46:49 her shoes too. I'm not judging her. When you're in that position, you must be an emotional roller coaster. No doubt, no doubt. Listen, oh, listen, by it, bro. I can tell you right now, there are three different phone calls. She cried every time. Every single time. she started crying. Yeah, like, yeah. So she was, she's emotionally, she's upset. But to say, all I need really is, I don't even need a good excuse. It could be, it could be like, look, just go fuck yourself.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Not interested. Yeah, or to reopen. She couldn't put closure on it, put, you know, the first time around, like, listen, I'm sorry I ghost at you, but he's not going to work out, have a nice day. Absolutely. Yeah. No, that, that, yeah, that was wrong. So here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:47:26 I talk to my ex-wife, right? Like, I tell, I tell my friend Stacy, and I tell my ex-wife, everything. So I've been telling them the whole time. Now, my ex-wife is telling me the whole time, my ex-wife is saying, you should date her. Now, Stacey's saying, absolutely not. She was, Matt, emotionally, you're already in a bad spot because of Jess. She was, so for you to take on this responsibility to be with this girl, she said, I know you. You'll be there at her deathbed.
Starting point is 00:47:55 She goes, you're a ride or die kind of person. She said, so I know that you'll be there to the end. She said, and I think that if it takes three. If she could be start getting sick, she could be sick for two years, she said, I know you. She said, what happens if she can't have sex? What happens if, like, there's all kinds of, and I went, well, first of all, I went like 13 years without having sex. So I'm going to be okay. Well, but not by choice.
Starting point is 00:48:15 You know, you know what she means. I always pull that line to it. Listen, I can't control myself. I went eight and a half years without sex. Well, first of all, I can. I'm not an animal. I can. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I'll deal with it. But I was like, look, it doesn't matter. I said, I'm not going to, I don't, I don't, you know what I don't worry about? I don't worry about dying in my car on the way to the grocery store. I'm not worried about how long this takes. I'm worried about right now, is it good. Life is good. Things are good.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Enjoy the moment. But Stacy's saying, no, no, no. My ex-wife is saying, absolutely. You like her. She sounds cool. She sounds like she gets you. You get her. You should do it.
Starting point is 00:48:50 By the way, I don't know if you remember, but I didn't know all these details. No. But you called me one time and you said, listen, I met this girl, blah, blah, blah, blah. and let me tell you what's going on. And I think I told you, I said, go for it, bro. I think she sounds amazing. If you have an amazing relationship for two years, good. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:06 That's more the most. That's more than most. Correct. And so, great, no problem. Cool. So I call my ex-wife. And by the way, my ex-wife, although I give her a hard time all the time, her intuition is and her ability to predict how things are going to go is amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Like when I first got in trouble Before I got in trouble There were two people that got busted Friends of ours, good friends of ours We'd gone on vacations together We babysat each other's kids My ex-wife's first thing she said was We don't talk to him anymore
Starting point is 00:49:39 I went what? She said, stop talking to him I went, why? She said they've been indicted By the FBI And I went or by the federal government She said they're going to cooperate And they're going to cooperate against you
Starting point is 00:49:50 And I went, you're crazy They wouldn't do that They're friends of ours She said Matt, you don't understand like her her her uncle had gone to prison like she knows people she know this she know she said don't talk she knew she knew who it goes literally within two months they wore a wire on me and that was my first case second time i get in trouble she's telling me don't do this don't do that what are you doing like all the things she's saying you just did what that's a mistake
Starting point is 00:50:18 she's pinpointing things that are that went wrong sure enough they all go wrong um literally the whole time my dating life she's been like that's a bad idea that's a good idea that no no no so fine what ends up happening is i call her up and i said this was a couple days ago i said hey um what's going on she was hey what's going on so i start talking about what's happening with me and you know um so i start talking to her and she goes what are you doing she goes she says what happened to the girl alissa and i went what do you mean she was what happened to her you liked her like this other girl you don't like. This one, you're saying she's okay, but we haven't really spending time together. This one, this, like, you're telling me about these girls. Like, there's, there is another
Starting point is 00:50:58 girl that I like. And she's, and I've really only spent a little bit of time with her. And she's like, you know, what about this? What about that? And she's, and I'm like, she's like, the one girl you really liked. She said, what happened with that? And I said, I told you, she ghosted me. She said, no, you said, she came back around. I said, yeah, and then she ghosted me again. And she goes, no, I know, but what have you done since then? I go, since she stopped responding to my text messages? I said nothing. I'm not going to stalk her. And she goes, do you know where she lives? And I went, I mean, I do. Yeah. She's, you know her name? I went, well, she goes by this on Facebook. And I told her name. I said, but she told me what her husband's name was, what her married
Starting point is 00:51:34 name was. So I do know her full name. And I'm assuming the house is in her name or her husband's so can you figure it out. I said, well, yeah. I mean, I know the county she lives and I can figure it out. And she said, so go to her house. And I go, oh, no, no, no, no. That's a bad idea. That's a bad idea. She said, no, no, listen to me. Listen to me. She said, the grand gesture. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:51:52 She said, she's scared. She's told you she's scared. Not one time did she ever tell you that she didn't like you or think it wasn't going to work between you. That's not her issue. Her issue is, is this guy willing to put up with the fact that I have cancer and then I'm going to die and I'm going to get progressively worse, is he going to do that? Does he like me enough to stick with me through this?
Starting point is 00:52:12 That's her concern. And she said, that guy. who really will do that is the guy that shows up at your house and says just talk to me I wanted to make sure you okay are you okay and I go I don't know Kayla
Starting point is 00:52:25 I mean she lives in this house she's got a couple kids that still live there like I don't I don't know and she also has a roommate who's blind she has a but one of the a roommate that rents a room is blind Alisa yeah Alyssa okay she has a blind roommate so she kind of takes care of right
Starting point is 00:52:43 and I said she's all and she's okay So there are people there. It's not the kids aren't there alone. It's there. And if she's not there, she's, you don't have to go in. She was, you know what kind of car she drives? I said, yeah, she actually drove an old police cruiser, like an old police car, which I thought was funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I thought that it was actually kind of cool. Like, you're driving like an old cruiser. Like, it's okay. So anyway, I was like, okay, I sat there and I thought, yeah, you know what? I'm, uh, okay, are you sure, Kayla, she's, Matt, have I ever been told you? I wouldn't tell you this. And I go, and I said, yeah, but then it's like stalking or something. She goes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And if you go show up and she says, what are you doing at my house? You need to leave. I said, yeah. Yeah. I'm with hair on that. I said, okay. I said, all right, I get it. I can do this.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I'll do it. Okay. I said, well, she thought, it's like an hour and a half drive. So I said, okay, so I drive an hour and a half. Colby doesn't know any of this, by the way. Do you? No. So, because this just happened.
Starting point is 00:53:38 So I drive for an hour and a half. I drive an hour and a half. And just before I get there. What time of the day? Um, I was going to get there at 7.30 at night. So it's getting dark. It's already dark. It's already getting, by the time I get there, it's dark. But it's 7.30. So just before I get there, my ex-wife calls me, she says, are you there yet? I said, no. She's, look, I thought about it. You can't show up empty-handed. Go get flowers. And I thought, nice touch. Just to make this more embarrassing, she's going to, she's going to ask me to get flowers. Did you get the flowers? Of course. It was an extra 15, of course. an extra 15 minute, you know, on the Google thing, brought me to Publix. I bought for 20 bucks. I got a dozen roses.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I get them. Okay, great. I get in my car. I drive back. Are you, call Kayla? Are you sure about this? She said, did you get the flowers? I said, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:54:29 She's, okay. And you're going. Yeah. She's, okay, look, she's, make sure that there's not like five cars there. Like, you don't pull in. It's her husband's there. And I go, she's not going to have a husband. She's, you don't know that.
Starting point is 00:54:39 I said, no, I do know that. Her Facebook profile says, widow. I talked to my buddy Visser. Visser said her husband died. She has cancer, her husband and her husband. I said, all of this is true. Three kids. One of them's gone. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:52 It's a Saturday night. So it's okay if there was one car. One of the kids came back, whatever. No, no. The kids are like 13 and 14. Oh, sorry. Yeah, like they're young. I don't know how exact age.
Starting point is 00:55:01 They're young. One's like 18 or 19. She's out of the house. So we've got two young kids. Probably not their home alone. Maybe, but maybe not. Regardless. I pull up to the house.
Starting point is 00:55:10 So I drive in, I pull up. I look. I don't see her car. There are two cars. in the driveway, but this is in the sticks, bro. And I remember the thing, and this cars looked abandoned. Like, they looked, like, this is the kind of, like, like, this is like lower middle class in the sticks next to a lake.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Blue color. Blue collar, definitely. So I was like, okay, you know, it's the kind of place where people park on their front yard. There's a driveway, but whatever. And there's cars that are, there's cars that are abandoned in the front yard. But these are cars that are clearly immobile. Okay. But I don't see hers, her car.
Starting point is 00:55:44 But I look, and it's dark. it's dark out there's no real lights or there's some lights but her house is set so far apart so far away when i'm looking at the house it's very dark but i can see movement in the house like the lights are shifting there's clearly things are happening maybe a tv's on maybe people are walking around i don't know so i look and i went fuck i check the address again now i'm getting nervous check the address and i went she's not here i thought you know what i'll do i'm going to go down there knock on the door definitely her house i i maybe it's not but I think it is.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I'm going to knock on the house. I'm going to knock on the door. If her roommate answers her kids, I'm going to say, is Alyssa here? They say no. I'm going to say, listen, my name's Matt. Can you please give her these flowers? Tell her I stop by and leave.
Starting point is 00:56:29 That's it. Yeah. So I get out of my vehicle. I walk down the driveway. I walk down the walkway. And as I'm walking towards the door, a car from the street whips in around my car and down is probably 100 feet, at least 100, 100 feet from the road,
Starting point is 00:56:50 swoops in through the over the yard, drives on the yard all the way up to about five or, no, about eight or nine feet away from me and stops. And it's the cruiser. It's her car. So it didn't go on the driveway. No. No.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Even though the driveway is available, it pulls all the way up. Grass, everything took everything now. On the grass, right up very aggressively right up to me. Could have been the roommate driving. So, pulls right up and stops. Boom, stops. And I turn around, and so I'm standing there holding a dozen roses. Where did you dressed up?
Starting point is 00:57:24 I was wearing a, I was wearing, I was wearing, I was wearing skinny jeans, a tight t-shirt, and I basically looked like a faggot. So, you know, yeah, yeah, I'm thinking I'm looking like, I'm thinking I'm looking sleek. I look very GQ. I've got the dozen roses. A seedy boy. He's a seedy boy. Definitely metrosexual.
Starting point is 00:57:41 The hair looks good. And so what I do is I turn, I turn, so, the car. pulls up and I turn and I'm holding the flowers and I'm like I go hey like this right you don't see who's driving no dark windows hey suddenly the door opens boom a guy this at least six foot four stands up he looks like slender man he was thin had a baseball but he had a baseball cap on his blue jeans are frayed he's got like a tight little t-shirt on and I look at him and I thought fuck this ain't good then the back door pop the car pop open. I'm thinking maybe she's getting out of the back.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Boom. Two kids jump out and they rush right by me and right in. Now, you know. Yeah. But what 13, 14 year old young kids? Like, they're going to stop and be like. Well, there's any struck that like. Absolutely. So the guy, I realized right away, I'm thinking the guy, when we pulled in, the guy said, go straight in the house.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Yeah. And he turned. And so he closes the door and I'm standing there and waiting for him to dress me. He looks at me and he goes, you, you, uh, you waiting for somebody, Bubba? you know he goes you here for somebody bubba i said yeah i'm here for alissa i said is she here and he goes i'll go get her and he walks right by me and i start walking towards the door so now i'm about 15 feet away from the white guy 15 feet away from the guy not hillbillia like a redneck guy you clearly this is a hunter like i remember thinking too hunting season like slender man hunting
Starting point is 00:59:07 season is it hunting season what's going on so he walks right in the front door and i'm in the sticks, and he walks in the front door, opens the door, and closes it. But when he opens it, I'm in shadow. I'm in the dark. So, but I can see in there, it's light, and I can see her standing there. As soon as he opens the door, she's looking right at him. She looks out at me, but I don't think she can see me. Then he turns around, he closes the door for a second, turns around, opens the door and says, hey, bro, he goes, hey, Bubba, what's your, what's your name? I go, my name's Matt. She knows who I am. I threw a little base in my voice. Of course. Yeah, you know, I stood on my tippy toes. So I said, you know, I go, my name's
Starting point is 00:59:41 Matt. I said, she knows who I am. And he goes, okay, closes the door, talks for another minute, opens the door, closes the door and walks all the way, walks right by me. I watch him walk all the way to the car. He opens the car door. He leans in the car. He then comes back out of the car. He's holding an AR-15. A rifle. The rifle. The AR-15 assault rifle. The ones that want to ban. Yes. Pulls it out, holds it up, looks at me, puts it it down and walks right by me and when he was walking by me i go that ain't good he walks doesn't say anything walks right in the front door and i went like what's going on closes a door talks to her for a second then he opens the door she's standing about he went in the house with a rifle yeah walked right
Starting point is 01:00:31 by me okay goes in the house and i'm thinking what's going on like well like i he said he'd get her now he gets the rifle. Then so suddenly the door opens all the way open, wide open, boom. He's standing there with the AR-15 like this. He's holding in like the military stance and he says, and she's standing behind him like just looking over his shoulder at me.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Not, you know, just kind of like like, like, oh, like, what the fuck? And he says, he goes, yo, Bubba, you got to go. And I went, well, and you, like, I didn't even understand because I sat and I, because he's holding, first of all, he's holding the. gun and I looked at him and I went um I go excuse me and he goes yo baba he said you got to go and I went oh whoa whoa I said hey bro uh did not know it was that serious I said my bad I'm gonna get going I got you I start walking backwards and he's walking towards me and I turn around I said
Starting point is 01:01:28 I'm gonna leave these flowers here on her car and I drop them on the car I said because they're not for me and I turn around and he goes I got you I got you so I start turn around I start walking up the sidewalk and he goes, hey, he goes, yo, Boa. I said, yeah, what's up, bro? And he goes, how'd you find her address? And I looked at him and I go, it's on the internet. He goes, is it? I said, it is if you look hard enough. And he goes, all right, all right. I go, all right, man. I go, as I'm walking up the driveway, he goes, yo, hey. Jesus Christ. I turn and I go, yeah, man, what's up? And he said, bro, I'm sorry, you're having a bad night. And I went, no, I said, you know what, man? I said, it's my fault. I said, I misread the
Starting point is 01:02:08 signals. I said, and I said, I thought I'd come here and make a romantic gesture. I said, and it was just, it was just a bad idea on my part. I said, no hard feelings. I appreciate it. I said, I'll see you later. I said, see you around, bro. I just turned around. I kept walking. Walk got my car, drove off. As I'm driving off, I immediately say, hey, Siri, call my ex-wife. I call my ex-wife, Kayla. She comes on. She's there with her sister-in-law, by the way. Okay. She puts me on speaker. She goes, what happened? And I went, well I said a guy just pulled an AR-15 on me and told me to fucking get out of the to leave and she goes oh my god you went to the front door she goes I didn't think you really go well are you what and she said I mean I told me to go she was I know but I thought maybe you I didn't really think you'd go I mean wow so what happened I'll tell you what before you continue with this story there is I mean I listen I don't know I don't know how you guys do it first of all Wait, wait, wait, wait, can I say something one more time?
Starting point is 01:03:10 And I hate to interrupt, but here's what I want to say. I want to say this. So, Colby, all right. So the guy, it turns out the guy that pulled the gun on me is the ex-boyfriend. Chris. Chris, that she has a restraining order on. So I'm going to let you, just to give you an idea of what I was dealing with, Chris is six foot four, and this is Chris's picture. And here's another picture of Chris.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I think this is a hog picture. We should do the hog picture. And this is a picture of Chris and Alyssa shooting shotguns. This one right here. Nice. That's Alyssa. That's Chris. They're shooting shotguns.
Starting point is 01:03:49 So Chris is the kind of guy that walks around with a marble red in his mouth and has sun glasses, even when it's cloudy and wears a baseball cap. Although, listen, if you got to get kicked out of a place, he was very polite. He was very polite to me. Very nice. Which is my point. You know that that whole scene would have played out different if it would have been me? They shoot you.
Starting point is 01:04:09 You're Hispanic. Absolutely. And that's another thing that I don't understand. Why do white folks always resourge to the AR-15? I'm going to make this a racist thing. I mean, it's like whatever happened, boom, here's the AR-15, you know? Well, here's what bothers me.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Like, the truth is, like, and you're interacting with this guy that is holding a rifle. Like, when he walked by with a rifle, I would have been like, listen, bro. I'm wrong address. I'm for Uber. Did you order Chipotle? No, I'm out. You know, I'm over it.
Starting point is 01:04:40 You're sitting there talking to this guy. Well, here's the thing. First of all. I'm telling him that you are picking up his cheek. Like, listen, I brought flowers for your girl. He's just a romantic gesture. And the guy is holding a rifle. That's how I roll.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Bad days happen, Baba. That's how I roll. So, I didn't do anything wrong. So, what? I mean, to him you did? I mean, he may, no, no, I don't have a relationship with this guy. She may have a relationship with him. I don't.
Starting point is 01:05:05 That's between you and her. You go to my house with a dozen. roses. Yeah. And you're telling me I'm here, you know, I was told to be romantic to your girl. I was specifically told she hadn't seen him in over six months. By her? By her? Of course. Who else?
Starting point is 01:05:20 What have I done wrong? Any normal human being knows he hasn't done anything wrong. Clearly my girlfriend was dating him or when or he there's something going on between them. I'll talk to her. Like I don't and that's why he's holding the rifle in his hand. That's what
Starting point is 01:05:36 bothers me. Here's the problem. He's six foot four. He doesn't need a rifle. I'm five foot six. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm wearing a tight shirt, tight blue jeans. I'm holding a dozen roses. I don't, clearly I don't have a gun. Like, there's no way you can even look at me and think I have a gun. Where there are thorns on the roses. Maybe he was concerned, you know. So you don't need an AR. If you do need an AR 15 to ask me to leave or get me to leave, like there's an issue. And so right away, I realized that with this Well, he was making a statement, like get out, stay out. And hey, and hey, by the way, Chris, If you are watching, Chris, if you are watching Chris,
Starting point is 01:06:11 I heard the statement loud and clear, I got you, won't be going back by there. I promise you that. There will be no more delivery of a dozen roses. Okay, you got that. Because I mean, clear, like, I was just like, like, I can't be, I can't be dealing with people that were pulling guns on me.
Starting point is 01:06:32 That wasn't a gun, Matt. Was it fucking assault rifle? I mean, that could have. go. Do you realize how bad that could have gone? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I do. For me, I do. Like, I would have shown up with my, you know, Mississippi accent and say, you know, I'm here for Alisa. He would have been like, yeah. Well, look, so I leave. I get my car. I don't know who this guy is. Get my car. I drive. I call my ex-wife. She mocks me mercilessly. What are you thinking? What were you said? She's like, I told you to make sure that she was there.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Make sure there were no other cars. I said there were two cars. They were abandoned. There were people moving inside. I just, and she wasn't there. So why wouldn't I pull up and say hi? Has she texted you? Who?
Starting point is 01:07:15 Alisa? Alissa. No. Have you texted her? No. Here's the thing. Like, didn't block me on Facebook. Didn't block me on anything.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Well, she said she wanted you to write her story. Well, here it is. That doesn't want me to write. The point is that, so my, my ex-wife is just like dying. Her sister-in-law, I mean, my ex-sister-in-law, they are roaring laughing. And they are just like, how did you get yourself in this situation? I'm like, you got me in this situation. I'm like, you, you owe me $20 for roses.
Starting point is 01:07:45 You owe me $30 for the gas to get here and back. I said, you owe me three hours of my time. $25 for the underwear because I just shut my pants when this guy pulled the AR-15. So, you know, honestly, like, I wasn't scared because I wasn't like, oh, I was just like, it wasn't until he opened the door and said you got to leave that I was like, I'm in trouble like oh this is this this just went bad I really genuinely
Starting point is 01:08:13 after knowing her and talking with her I really thought she was going to come to the front door and say you know Matt listen I got back with my export aren't you worried
Starting point is 01:08:22 that maybe the guy has her like I don't know tied down in the cloud in the basement or something honestly when he opened the door she's standing in the kitchen oh so you saw her I saw her when he first opened
Starting point is 01:08:31 the door to walk in I looked and saw she was standing there she's just standing there like she looked out at me but she couldn't see who I was because I was standing in the dark. So that's why he turned around and said,
Starting point is 01:08:41 what's your name? I said, Matt, she knows me. So, look, the fact is that she left. I mean, he left, like, she could have left. And she has a restraining order against him. But so she says. Well, and Vesser says... Because I tell you what, now I'm questioning a bunch of stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:56 No, no, no. And I know what you're saying. So what I did was, as soon as I went home, I contacted Vesser. And I was like, yo, bro. I said, you got to call me. So he calls me the next day. And said, listen, let me tell you.
Starting point is 01:09:06 what happened. And I tell him what happened. As I'm telling him what happens, I don't want to put his stuff out there. But as I'm telling, he immediately goes, that's Chris. He says, I'm going to send you a picture. He sends me a picture. Bam, I go, yep, that's the guy. That's him. He goes, that's Chris. He goes, he was driving her car? I went, yeah, two kids in the back. I said, yeah, it's got an AR-15. I said, yeah. And he goes, Jesus, God Almighty. Then he tells me the history with him and this guy. There's a whole history there. Like, he's like, look, the guy, he's got some issues. And he tells me, He's like, look, he's a nut job. He's got, like, five acres.
Starting point is 01:09:39 He shoots guns all the time. He's a gun nut. So if we were going to do, like, I don't know if Kobe can do that, but if we were going to do like a stock market chart here, we could literally track your dating life going like, right now. Oh, now straight down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Enron stock. Straight down.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Is that Chris? Straight downhill. Yeah, it's not good. No, it's not good. The projections are not good. It's all bad. It's all bad. I mean, you know, like, I've met some nice chicks.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Yeah, but you're not interested on that. They don't, they don't have. Let's follow a pattern here. Wait a minute. I actually have, like, I'm actually supposed to go out with another girl that I met. She's super cute, super adorable. She, um, super young, bro. Like, like, like, like, I asked.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Like criminal? Like, like, no, no. I'm going to have to put one in your account? Not registry, young. Okay. But, but young, like 28 years old. And I, and I was like, and I was like, and I. I had been asking my buddy Trion to set me up with her.
Starting point is 01:10:39 And because she's also wild. And Trion was like, yeah, you ought to go out with her. And I was like, well, set me up, set me up. And he never did. So the other day I went to the gym and I go, did you ever? And she was there. I was like, did you ever, why don't you set me up with this chick? What is your fucking problem?
Starting point is 01:10:51 Well, I told you, I keep forgetting. I keep forgetting. And she's standing at the counter. I turn around and I said, and, uh, all right, I'm going to say her name. Her first name's, uh, alley. And I look at her and I go, Ali. She goes, yeah, what's up? I said, do you want to go on a?
Starting point is 01:11:04 Did you want to go out sometime for dinner? And she looks at me and she goes, you mean like on a date? And I went, yeah, like on a date. I'm assuming she's going to say no. Yeah. I'm assuming he's really already talked to her and doesn't want to tell me she's not interested. She won't go out with you. And I said, yeah, on a date.
Starting point is 01:11:20 And she goes, yeah, I'll go on a date. Yeah, absolutely. No problem. And I went, I looked at him and I go, you prick. You should have said, is this okay with your significant other or your husband or your ex-boyfriend? She's actually getting a divorce. Of course she is. You see? Predictable.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Very predictable. But you know what the difference is between you and I? There's many of it. I have a, because I know somebody the other day put in the comments. Oh, I know what the difference is. The difference is I wait till they're getting a divorce and they're not living with them anymore. Oh my God. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Do you want to go there? No. No, let's go there. This is not about me. This is about you. Okay. Now. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Because we need to talk. Let's do that. Let's do a podcast after that. How about we say? save that one for when I have my YouTube channel. How about, and I'll make you a guest of it. How many husbands are there looking for you? So, but regardless of that, that was a part of the dark past.
Starting point is 01:12:14 But I have a daughter, I have a daughter that is 31 and a daughter that is 21. So I have an age. She's how old? My oldest is 31. Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah. Bro, how old are you?
Starting point is 01:12:28 I started young. I told you I married my elementary school school, sweetheart at 16. So they're like that. You cannot date any younger than me. And I'm like, well, it's not fair because it's not my fault. I mean, it is, but it's not that, you know, we are only 16 years apart. Okay, one more time. How old is your oldest daughter?
Starting point is 01:12:46 31. So the other day I said, Matt, I wouldn't let you date my daughter. And somebody put on YouTube like, oh, my God, all are his daughters. And I'm like, listen, it's not like I'm not going to let him date my 6 year old. I'm also not going to let him date my 31-year-old. But she's married anyways. But regardless of that, okay. I was going to say, if you're watching this.
Starting point is 01:13:03 You need to contact me. We will go to dinner. I will take you to dinner just so that we can put pictures so your dad will go nuts. They subscribe to your channel. Nice. So, and there I was telling me, like,
Starting point is 01:13:15 oh my God, Dad. But we went to an event this weekend, and I made this beautiful girl, beautiful girl. And we're all sitting, and I'm with my kids, and I'm like, oh, my God, look at this girl.
Starting point is 01:13:26 She's beautiful. Like, you know, I would love to end up with somebody like that, and she's smart and witty. And my daughters are like, that my youngest is like I will make her life miserable and then my oldest is like
Starting point is 01:13:38 I will cut the bitch and I'm like okay so I guess I'm a yeah I don't want to date your dog so they want me to find like a 48 year old woman oh oh come on and I'm like nobody wants to date a 48 year old woman well there is listen JLo is 52
Starting point is 01:13:52 okay well look that's a lot of that's perfect that's a perfect diet it's perfect working out it's perfect like that that's unobtainable Let's face it. 52-year-old women don't look like that. There is something. Okay, that's true.
Starting point is 01:14:07 I actually, there is a lot of good looking. That's true. I actually met this chick that, this is funny. I actually met a chick that flew in for the weekend and hung out with me, you know, hung out with me for the weekend. College professor absolutely dropped that gorge. A body that hold. 55. And a body, by the way, a body that literally, I'm telling you right now, she could have been
Starting point is 01:14:31 25 years old. Runs Marathons. Amazing. Yeah. Another chick, I got this other chick that I've talked to. And you get the AARPD discounts when you go buying stuff. Nice. What a dick. What is it?
Starting point is 01:14:40 It's a win-win for everybody. This other chick, Jean, so there's a girl named Gene that does a ball, like not ballroom dancing, but I guess, whatever, dancing. She's like a professional dancer and she dances and stuff. Not like a pole dancer. Yeah. She, um, super, like a gorgeous, gorgeous. And I think she's 51.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Is she 51 or 52? She's basically she's my age and both of them phenomenal looking. You know what my issue is with these younger women other than
Starting point is 01:15:08 But most of them look like hell by the way. By the late 40s most women are just falling apart. If you have to explain the woman that you're with who, you know, the cure
Starting point is 01:15:18 and Black Sabbath or whatever you are into from your era that's a pain in the ass man. I don't want to go to a concert when it's where you know and I'm definitely
Starting point is 01:15:26 going to go to a Justin Bevan concert you know so it's just that difference of culture Colby, how old are you? Oh my God. He's a child. You see?
Starting point is 01:15:36 It's ridiculous. Good. Have you been having a conversation with it. Come on. Yeah, I think Colby's still watching Pokemon. I think 34, 34, 35. Like, if I get a girl
Starting point is 01:15:45 that's probably in her 30 to 35 range, that's probably a good range, right? I'll tell you the other thing that I find that is not fair. Although this chick Alley is pretty cute. Super cute. The one that is Colby's age? Yes.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Just to put in perspective. Yes. I mean, you have. to understand that. But look, I don't look 52. I'm 52. I don't, and I don't act 52. I'm extremely immature. This is a game. These are the games that my children play with me. Like my daughter goes, okay. You look like you're in your 50s. No. Now, come on. I want people in the comments. Comments. Do I look 52 is one question. Yes, comments. Does he, what I look 48? Oh, 40. Oh my God, you're 48. How hard have you live, bro?
Starting point is 01:16:23 Prison was rough. I have two kids, bro. I'm girls. They'll age you. Any father there Well, test to this. So, 52, do I think, does he look 48? But my kids always make these numbers. They always say, like, okay, so she's 30 and you're 48, yeah. So that, when you were 21, she was three. And I'm like, listen, don't do that. And they're like, no, no, no, check this out.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Imagine that you walk into a three-year-old birthday party. And you look at that three-year-old girl. And I'm like, listen, this is, you cannot play with the timelines like that because that doesn't work like that. Right. You know? But that's their way of a. keeping me.
Starting point is 01:16:59 And the other thing is in this YouTube channel, women leave comments, but they're like, you don't want to reply to the comments and sound like a creep. Like the other day, somebody said like, oh my God,
Starting point is 01:17:08 I will listen to anything he says with that accent. And I'm like, I mean, send me, I love those messages, but why don't you send them to my email so we can establish
Starting point is 01:17:17 some kind of communication? What you have to do is you have to say, say, you know, yeah, yeah. How did you not sound creepy? Shoot me your email.
Starting point is 01:17:26 Shoot me an email. Send pictures. Boom. Oh, yeah, that sounds top nuts. Look, I mean, you know, here's the thing. What I do realize is that the way things are now are vastly different than they were 15, 16 years ago. People are much, much different now. More direct.
Starting point is 01:17:43 More direct. Dating is much different. And also, women and women and men are both looking for something that's almost unobtainable. Like they don't want to accept any shortcomings at all. It's amazing. For perfection. They're looking for perfection. They're looking for the Instagram model.
Starting point is 01:18:00 I was just going to tell you that. I think it's a social media that has done that. Right. And it doesn't exist. No. Even your friends that are married that are posting, if you look at their Facebook and Instagram, you're like, they look like they have a dream life.
Starting point is 01:18:13 But I know that he's cheating on her. She's caught him twice. I know that this is filtered, that she's got wrinkles and she's 30 pounds overweight. I know that he, you know, you can sit there and say, but people, that's what they're trying to obtain that. and it's unobtainable. But regardless, regardless.
Starting point is 01:18:31 You know, this little exercise about the looks is going to be horrible for my self-esteem. So I'm just saying, I mean, you know, well, people are probably going to say, Matt, yeah, you look, you look like you're 60 and you look. Oh, no, I know. I know. I know. I know. I already know. See, I say that.
Starting point is 01:18:46 But I know they're not going to say that. So, all right. All right. All right. All right. So that was my, that was my, that was my Alyssa story. And it went bad. You know what we should do?
Starting point is 01:18:59 Can you, once again, can you put up the blue, the picture of Alyssa with the blue eyes, where she's got blue eyes, is she looking up. I'm going to show it to you. This is the picture I just thought, like this picture right here. And, you know, that this chick ghosted me twice and almost got me shot with an AR-15. So that, to me, that's dating in Florida. You just don't know when it's going to go wrong. It could go bad.
Starting point is 01:19:22 That could have gone really bad. Very quickly. So, you know, don't buy a chick a dozen roses and show. up at her house with some grand gesture because the truth is you could end up dead. The good news is I would have ended up with their channel. All right. So, hey, if you like the video, do me a favor, subscribe to the channel, hit the bell, share the video, and leave a comment in the comment section for the algorithm.
