  1. You people are all idiots that are caught up in this game. What is it about “entertainment and TV “ you don’t understand? It’s like kicking Capt. Jack Sparros asd cause you don’t like the way he sails his ships. Get a life y’all.

  2. Dave’s only legacy will be a flaming drunk who hits women and collects junk!! No wonder why he is such a miserable chap!!

  3. Hey, Dave.

    The prince of this world rewards the here & now.

    The GOD of heaven AND earth WILL reward for evil intent towards others.

  4. Dave Hester is a greedy evil butt head. I did not miss him a bit while he was gone. Listening to him price items, he is rather expensive. When he had his store I could not have afforded to shop in it.
