Hello and welcome back to Cult Leader. I'm your Cult Leader Spencer Henry and this is a little leader where I read the stories that you send to me. If you have a story you'd like to share with the cult, what are you waiting for?

Okay, don't be shy. Send it on over to Spencer at Cult Leader dot com put little leader somewhere in the budget. One project, which means the subject or the body of the email so that I know where to find it. You get it. You got it. Good. The project. I'm just going to start saying that instead. We'll love a combination over here. How's it going, babe? Happy Friday. Hope everybody is having a nice week. I always love a Friday. It's my favorite day of the week. Very happy it's the weekend. My first week in home in

a white time last weekend. I know I told you guys I got to go meet my nephew Leo for the first time and he is just the absolute cutest baby. Just sat, held him for a very long time. It doesn't do much. You know, he's pretty sleepy. Pretty much just sleeps all day. Not a big cryer, which is great. I don't really think there's much else he can do right now, but he's so sweet. Next weekend, we are wrapping up our obituary tour.

We're in June 1st, 2nd, 3rd. We're in Pontiac, Michigan, Chicago, Illinois, Minneapolis, Minnesota for the grand finale. It's just wild that it's almost over. I'm sad. It's been a huge part of our year. I mean, we left in February to start the tour. We've had some weeks home in between, but it's been very much go, go, go all year.

I'm definitely ready for it to slow down a little bit, but I love doing the live shows so much. I know it's not the last of those. We've got a lot of exciting stuff on the horizon both with obituary and cult leader, little projects we've been working on.

So keep an eye out, lots of exciting stuff coming. Happy to be home, working on some home projects this weekend, probably.

Then in time with my little gal, my little hot dog, who I had a dream about. I don't remember what the dream was. We were somewhere weird and there was like these big scary looking dogs.

And I was trying to hide hot dog from them. And then the owner was like, no, they're nice. And so then I let them meet hot dog. And that's great.

That's, you know what? Sometimes life is just like that. You know what I mean? Alright. Anyways, okay, let's fucking get into business. I'm going to start us off with this incredible story I read in people.

So listen to this. It says Michigan teen who used his slingshot to save his eight year old sister from alleged kidnapper speaks out.

Owen Burns, 13, said he was playing video games at his family's Alpina township Michigan home when he heard his little sister scream.

There is an incredible picture of this boy with this fucking slingshot. I'm going to post it. The Michigan teen who's quick thinking thwarted the alleged attempted kidnapper of his eight year old sister is recalling the steps he took to saver speaking with WPBN TV.

So I say quote, this is, I'm quoting the article here on Wednesday. Owen Burns said he was playing video games at his family's Alpina township Michigan home when he heard the little girl who was mushroom hunting in their backyard scream for help.

At first he said he thought nothing of it, but the second time she screams again like 10 seconds later and I'm like, what's going on? Owen 13 told the outlet.

Owen said he witnessed the suspect identified by police as a 17 year old male trying to abduct her from the property on May 10th.

Her mouth was closed and he was hugging her on his chest. My sister kicked him and then he started running after her. I got my slingshot, I got a marble and a rock, and then I shot the suspect three times in the head and chest Owen continued.

Afterward, the brother and sister who were alone, home alone at the time called their mom who then called 911. According to a Michigan state police press release the suspect fled to a nearby gas station.

His name is being withheld due to his age, but police said he exhibited obvious signs of trauma to the head and chas consistent with the slingshot attack.

I fucking love it. Once it all said in, it kind of hit pretty hard. The siblings dad Andrew Burns told Good Morning America because it could have meant a different outcome.

According to police, the suspect has been charged as an adult with attempted kidnapping slash child enticement, attempted assault and assault in battery. His bond was set at $150,000.
