after talking to the attorney, I'm like, man, like if they're getting all these complaints, there's something wrong.

And so go home, like cook dinner, do dad life, right?

Tuck my girls in.

And I'm like, just thinking about this for, you know, like a couple of days.

And I'm like, I don't like this at all.

If something went wrong, like I'm the only one that can stand away.

And I want to see that this was, you know, the proper democratic process I'll say.

Right.

Um,

But what's the risk?

If I go find something, it's against my bosses.

By three-fifths vote, they can fire me like that.

And I don't have a livelihood for these two girls that I'm raising.

And so I literally sit down one night and talk to myself out loud, like sitting on the edge of my bed, like, hey, dummy, this is not in your best interest.

You know, there's two girls down there relying on you.

And it was just that fire inside of me, man, that whatever you call it, that sense of duty, that, you know, patriotism, whatever it is.

Right.

And I was just like, all right, man, you got to look into it because I can't live with myself if I don't.

And so the next day I go to work, get off, like change and get in my own personal vehicle, my own civilian clothes.

I go to Walmart, buy a thumb drive, and I go to this company that owns all the servers and does the IT work for the security system at this fire station.
