Yeah, let me call her again.

Hi everyone.
Hello, Are you really going todial my phone?

Howdy y'all?

welcome back to Unstoppable with Victoria and
Michael, we are almost into thenext month.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
September.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Which is my wife's birthday.
Yay, which should be 2019.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Hey, it's also the anniversary of my rebirth from
my education, which wasSeptember.
What Remember?
Do you remember?
No, okay, I'll give you a hint.
It's my favorite number.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What's my favorite number?
I don't know.
17?
No 8?
Yes.
18?
No 8?
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
See.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I was right on the money, whatever September 8th is
my anniversary.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It'll be three years since they whack-a-mole my arm.
I can say that because it'samazing, can I just tell you,
hold on that.
And then the same week,squirrel.
The same week this year I'mhaving another life-altering
surgery.
Okay, can we give it a?
It's bad when your surgeon sayswhat's your New Year's
(01:51):
resolution?
And I say you're staying offthe arm table and he taps my
shoulder and says you reallyneed to make your resolution
something you can achieve.
It's funny.
It's not funny.
I don't even know why that'snot funny.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Which surgeon was this?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The one from Australia.
Oh yeah, so I'm just sayingthis month.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yes, let's go back to which surgery?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So much.
And then we had this massivesurgery and we have the release
of our master class and ournewest book, dear Silent.
My husband is just starting tolook at it.
What are your thoughts so far?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
my god, for our listeners and those of y'all who
have written in.
We did have a cut off datebecause we just got unedated
with a horde of stories,testimonials and my God some of
(02:59):
them were so heartbreaking Allof them were heartbreaking we
couldn't read them.
We read them.
Heartbreaking, we couldn't readthem.
We read them.
But it was so hard.
These are true life events.
These are people's lives.
They condensed it down to apage and a half, maybe a page, a
couple paragraphs.
(03:19):
My God, some of these arecoming from children.
You really know what it's liketo see through the eyes of a
child and then have themremember this years later, as
they're grownups, and to writeit down, whereas back then they
couldn't say anything.
Right, because that's mom anddad, or that's mom instead of
(03:42):
dad, or whomever, right?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But you didn't get very far into it when you read
it, you didn't stop.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, I've got through about 10 pages and then,
yeah, it's overwhelming y'all.
This is going to be a greatsuper fantastic book compiled by
just hundreds of people outthere listening, and we thank
(04:10):
y'all.
This is a wise idea.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
All the money is going to go back to helping
these amazing individuals heal,because healing shouldn't come
with a price tag.
It shouldn't, and it's going togo hand in hand with no but a
master class that I've beenworking on creating and waiting
for my husband to say somethingI created, part one of a map
(04:34):
mapping, if you will, today umit's a 23 lesson course.
It's course one of how toprepare to leave.
Leaving isn't easy is what it'scalled, and it really goes into
the whole scenario, which justflat out pisses me off when
(04:55):
people say why didn't you justleave like you know?
Why don't you just shut thehell up?
You don't know what it's likeright.
It's like I've never had cancer,by the grace of god.
I couldn't fathom what it'slike to be a cancer survivor,
and I wouldn't.
I wouldn't even try to pretendto imagine what it's like to go
(05:15):
through having cancer, so don'ttry to figure out what it's like
to be a survivor of abusebecause I'm not going to put
myself in your shoes because Ican't wear them and you can't
wear mine.
So don't just look at somebodyand say, why didn't you just
leave?
That's like asking a cancerpatient why?
didn't you just get off Right?
I could never do that tosomebody.
(05:37):
I couldn't ask that question.
And one of the things I, honestto God, cannot tell you how
many times I've heard white news, and it wasn't just from
so-called family, so-calledfriends when does my husband go?
It's also from individuals thatreally and truly had no
(06:04):
business asking that kind ofquestion, like, for instance,
when I was being interrogatedleft, right and center during
this process.
In the beginning I was beinginterrogated by military,
military police, cid, you nameit and everybody would ask me
why didn't you just leave?
And how do you answer that tosomebody?
(06:27):
I mean, you know, no matterwhere you go, people don't just
leave you.
That's like the number onequestion that falls out of their
face.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Can I go there?
Sure, okay, I was that idiot, Iwas that jerk, I was that
asshole that asked you asked meyeah, okay, so I was a cop,
(07:06):
right?
So you asked me husband.
Several times, a lot of timesthey don't arrest Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So I'm going to arrest him tonight because I see
a handprint on your face.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I see bruising.
I see defensive wounds on him.
The house is trashed up.
Looks like you got some brokenpieces of glass on your elbow.
I'm going to arrest him and I'mgoing to ask you to leave.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay, but you're going to incarcerate him and
make me leave too.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Right, I'm going to say this is your time, because
he's going to be in jail.
Okay, don't go bail him out,don't go post bond and just
leave.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Just pack your bags and leave.
It's not that simple to do thatquickly.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Just pack up some things.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Right now you don't have kids, you have a dog.
Pack up your dog, grab some ofyour clothes, but you know, at
some point I'm going to have toreturn.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Why Just file for divorce?
But how do I do that when hecontrols all the money?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well, while he's in jail, go ahead and delete your
account.
There's so much more to it thanthat it's not that easy.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's not that easy.
I mean, I'm the one who's thevictim.
Why do I have to leave?
Why do I have to do everythingto convenience him?
I mean the car bars.
He has total control ofeverything.
How do I do that?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I mean, where do I?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
go anywhere I go, he's gonna find me and it's
gonna just infuriate him to holdit alone and then it's gonna
happen again.
If I'm gonna leave, I have todo it smartly.
That's why the average persongoes back seven times, because
they don't have a plan in place.
You know when.
And I hate to say, but mymemoir who Kicked First really
(08:53):
goes into almost a handbook ofit.
In its own way, it details indepth how I got out and honestly
it was tricky.
It was very tricky of how I gotaway, Because every time I kept
going to authorities andshowing more proof, showing more
evidence.
(09:13):
All I kept hearing is why areyou making him angry?
Why can't you just do what hewants?
And then he won't do this.
That's a load of shit, and Isaid this time and time again.
Everything can be hunky dory.
And then his side piece says Ican't see you tonight, or
somebody cuts him off on the wayhome from work or he gets in
trouble for something, and Ipromise you your
body is his battleground theminute he walks in the door.
(09:34):
That's what's gonna happen.
And so then, after having somuch evidence, I kept hearing
why do you have so much proof?
Why do you have thisoverwhelming amount of proof?
Because nobody's doing anythingto protect my life and my
unborn child's life, because Iwas pregnant when all this
happened.
So this is what I would hear.
Well, why do you keep doingthis?
(09:55):
Why do you have so much proof?
Because nobody's believing me,nobody's doing anything to help
me stay safe or to protect mychild.
You know the military hassomething called the
transitional compensation fund,right?
How would I know this if Iwasn't told about it, right?
So I was a civilian.
(10:17):
I had no idea.
I went to the advocacy centertime and time again.
I had the business card.
I had the advocate's name andher personal cell phone number
on it.
And time again, I had thebusiness card.
I had the advocate's name andher personal cell phone number
on it and her writing.
And later down the road, I gettold I thought you were taken
care of.
You must have fallen throughthe cracks.
So then they tell you oh,there's a transitional
(10:39):
compensation fund where we helpthe youth.
Do you know how much I got ofit?
Not a penny, not a dime.
But here's the thing as apolice officer, you wouldn't
know how to do a vehicularpullover unless you've been
trained and you've gone throughit.
How would a civilian know abouttransitional compensation if
she wasn't given the information?
(10:59):
I had the freaking pamphletsfrom the military in possession
that showed all of the optionsthat are out there for someone
going through this in domesticviolence, and I got zero
assistance.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Zero, so they acknowledge it to the degree
that, hey, here's a place whereyou can get help.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
A lot of times it's covered up in the military.
It's the's a place where youcan get help.
A lot of times it's covered upin the military.
It's the good old boy syndromein its own way Because it could
go all the way up to the chainof command.
And when I went to the basecommander with my private
investigator after I had escaped, they openly stated they knew
(11:44):
about what was going on with meand we had a document, we had it
recorded and still, and I haveto be very careful- because I
have signed a nondisclosure,because I did pursue litigation
and we won't.
And it's not an exorbitantamount of money because there's
a cap on it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But I wanted our daughter to always know you
fight for what's right and younever give up right.
And I wanted to hold accountablethose that should have been.
Did they get held accountable?
No, they retired with fullbenefits and received all the
bullshit that they get.
Idiot gets full pension orwhatever.
(12:27):
He wasn't in a full term orwhatever it's called.
What did I get?
Nothing?
Nothing, not one thing.
And that's the reason that thistwo-part series is coming um
about.
Leaving isn't that easy.
It's not, and it pisses me offbecause so many people are so
quick to judge when they'reoutside the window looking in,
(12:50):
but they're too afraid to comein and help.
Right, it's real easy to openyour mouth and say whatever you
want to say, but doing somethingto support someone and help
them get out of a possiblelife-threatening situation is
different.
And let me tell you and this isrecorded and it goes out to
millions and millions of people-and I will stand firmly with
(13:12):
what I'm about to say.
God forbid someone put a hand onmy face, because I'm not going
to be the bitch outside thewindow.
I promise you that it's justnot going to happen.
You lay your hands on our child.
That's all I'm going to say,and I'm not putting you on a
threat, I'm putting you on apromise Because as parents, we
are rightfully so able toprotect and defend our family
(13:35):
and our children.
Then most people don't know meas well as they should, and I
heard a lot of people ask me youhave multiple black belts.
You are trained in martial arts.
Why didn't you just beat thehell out of them and get away
(13:57):
right?
One of the first things youlearn and you learn in the
police academy is de-escalation,first and foremost, right right
off the bat.
de-escalate, get away when youare straddled in your sleep with
this son of a bitch on top ofyou and you're pregnant and he's
beating you in the face left,right and center to tell you
(14:18):
bitch, get up and go get mesomething to drink, I'm thirsty,
you know.
De-escalation is not possibleat that moment when the one time
.
One time you try to leave, heshoots and kills your puppy to
show you what he would do if youleft.
You know you've got to be realsmart to get out and survive
real smart.
So de-escalation doesn't alwayswork.
(14:40):
I will tell you that my martialart training saved my life,
because I know that some peoplemight think and I would love
your input on this.
Some people might think this islike lackadoodle for me to say,
but anybody with any martial arttraining will relate.
When you are going through anddoing your training and moving
up in rank, you spar and youwork on your katas and your
(15:03):
forearm, but you spar againstother martial artists and when
you're getting punched, you'regetting kicked, you're getting
hit, you're learning how to takeit is what it is and so many
times I had to psychologicallyput myself back in like a dojo
mindset because I'm pregnant,right, and it's just, it's a hit
(15:23):
.
It's just a hit and I openlyadmit that I made a deal with
the devil.
I told him if he never wentafter my stomach my child at
that time I would not fight himback because I knew there was no
way I was going to get out andsurvive.
There was no way.
I was in the ICU too many times, I was at death's door too many
times and I knew I had onechance that I would actually be
(15:46):
able to get out and survive One,and so I could heal with a
broken nose.
I could heal from a broken jawNot pleasantly, but I could.
I could heal from broken foot,you know, broken fingers,
whatever, I wasn't going to losemy daughter.
I just wasn't going to.
And so so many people gave mecrap about the fact that, well,
(16:08):
you have all this martial artstraining, why didn't you just
kick his ass?
Well, it's not as easy aspeople think.
It's different.
If you are approached out inpublic and somebody tries to
jump you, absolutely you candefend yourself but, like I said
, when you're asleep and you'repregnant and you're already
healing from other injuries andyou just watched your puppy get
shot and killed.
(16:29):
And every time you try to showsomebody that there's an injury
and they just kind of laugh inyour face you do become that
battered, beaten, just invertedperson that doesn't believe in
themselves, that doesn't believein the idea of ever being free
again.
Your self-esteem goes in thetoilet it's tanked.
(16:52):
You know, control becomes likehis every way of life, financial
control, and I made five timesa year what he did, if not more,
but it doesn't matter, becauseyou say anything that's out of
line and violence is coming yourway.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And y'all excuse me, that was just a small snippet of
her story.
We read so many stories likehers.
And you know, you find out thereason why.
Why can't I leave?
Why couldn't I leave?
Why didn't we leave?
Y'all go to Amazon and pick upher book by Victoria Curie, who
(17:41):
Keeps First, and be on thelookout for this one coming in
October.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The one thing I want to bring up that I think is and
I think you did, I think I readthis one to you is at first I
didn't understand.
It was a child who and it is inthe book talks about how much
they hated her books.
Right, I hated my mom my entirechildhood.
I didn't know why I hated herbecause she wouldn't leave.
Right, she wouldn't leave.
(18:06):
You know what I'm talking about.
And it goes on and on about howthis child had to watch their
mom get beaten constantly andends up towards the end where
they realize that, this motherthat they made miserable their
whole childhood because theyhated their mom so much, ended
(18:28):
up realizing that the reason shestayed was for the kids and a
lot of people say that becausethe mom was petrified that if
she left, yes, she would be free, yes, she would be protected,
but so many times, as I evenheard at one point in court when
I said to the judge I'm goingafter termination of rights and
(18:49):
the judge says, well, he hasn'thit the baby, not yet, but it's
coming, right, it's coming.
And I said he's not going to bealone there again.
He already hurt her.
He already hurt her and I wouldbe damned if I'm going to let
it happen again.
But the story of thisindividual that wrote in was I
hated my mom and then I realizedthat she knew if she left every
(19:11):
other weekend I'd be alone andshe couldn't protect me.
What an eye opening.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
right, right, it's a huge eye opening but then you
had that story that put out umhere recently about that
so-called father.
He wasn't a father.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The one who killed his two-day-old baby.
Oh God, it just makes me soangry.
You know, having kids is aprivilege, you know.
It makes me sick because somepeople do it for government
assistance, because they get somuch money.
Not everybody Some right.
Then you have people who havewaited their whole life to have
children and they can't, forwhatever reason.
And then you have people whohave absolutely no business
(19:52):
having kids.
None Right, Absolutely none.
And you know, in Alabama theystarted doing chemical
castration on pedophiles whenthey're released, on pedophiles
when they're released, and ofcourse people went up in arms
how that is inhumane to do tosomeone who has been
rehabilitated.
Well, first of all, we all knowyou're not rehabilitated right.
(20:13):
Second of all, when you comeout and you have touched
children, I don't believe youhave the right to have a child.
And people are like, well,that's their right, they have
right to have kids.
And people are like, well,that's their right, they have
the right to have kids.
No, they don't.
No, they don't.
I mean, why should they be ableto have a kid?
(20:34):
yeah, I agree do you thinkchemical castration is inhumane
no, it's not harsh enough andthen they're told they can't be
around uh schoolyards or schoolsor playgrounds the people say
that's not fair we even had apedophile on our show and he
argued that there shouldn't be asex registry, that the money
(20:57):
should be used to help them andif they want to hang around a
school or playground they shouldbe able to.
But do you remember what hesaid that really just floored
the both of us about?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
we asked what would happen if his child, if he ever
had a child.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Oh my God, what an idiot If he ever had a child and
that child was abused.
Do you remember what he said?
Yeah, what did he say?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That he would try to provide therapy for the abuser
with his child in the room.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yes, I lost my shit.
Are you kidding me?
I did it.
You're going to re-assault thatkid.
That kid's going to getre-assaulted.
And then there's dad, who'ssupposed to be the protector,
who's supposed to be the one toprotect the child, and you're
bringing this person and monsterinto their home where your home
(21:52):
is supposed to be your safeplace.
It's supposed to be the placethat you're your safest and you
know that you're your safest andyou know that you are loved and
taken care of, and then youbring this monster into the home
.
That just doesn't even make anysense to me.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
At all Yep.
So we haven't had any more mapson our show Right, and then I
was told that we had to identifyhim as a map, not a pedophile,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Do you remember what maps was the acronym?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
for minor attractive person that's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's disgusting, you know.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Kids can be adorable, cute,beautiful, handsome, but how are
you intimately attracted to aminor child, like you know, and
I guess we won't understand this?
We're not that way, we're notwired that way, but you know,
and then I have to touch basefor a minute, like all of
(22:50):
georgia, thanks to the governorum brian kent just put flags at
halfast for the shootings thattranspired in the Catholic
church.
But, here's the thing the personthat came out, his mom was a
teacher in a school, okay, andI've seen mixed reports, but he
was going through atransformation.
(23:11):
He was trans, right, right.
But what I don't get is andI've seen this so many times
when I read the background ofthese people who go in there
with their manifestos and whatthey want to do to the schools,
and a lot of them, especiallythis guy.
(23:32):
This guy was obsessed with callof duty.
He was playing it constantlyand he thought, because he could
just freely run around andshoot people on a game that was
his reality, he could go and doit in this place and then these
young, innocent children arekilled.
They'll never get to have theirgraduation.
Or they won't get to have awedding or go to prom or do all
(23:54):
the things that they have everyright to do and who?
The hell are these people totake that away from them?
Who are these people who canjust go up into a Walmart and
just randomly stab people for noreason?
It happens in Target, ithappens everywhere.
Now, you see, it's constantthat this is happening.
(24:19):
You know, you see, it's it'sconstant that this is happening
there's bomb we saw three bombthreat scares in elementary
schools in the last two weeks.
Yeah, elementary school, theschool are you kidding that?
That to me doesn't even beginto make any sense to me what the
hell is going on in thiscountry and so many people are
blaming trump.
This didn't just happen withTrump.
Columbine didn't happen underTrump's administration, right?
(24:41):
So how are people blaming him?
I mean, come on now, you know,and it's like people find
amusement in the most disgusting, darkest ways.
And until you're in thatsituation, still still, and you
know, here's the thing myhusband has, in the last several
(25:05):
, several years, become verysensitive to certain things.
Like we gone out to dinner andwe see a beautiful family trying
to have dinner and they have achild who's autistic or a child
who has Down syndrome orsomething like that Everybody's
staring at this kid.
But you know what?
They're beautiful family.
(25:26):
They have every right to go outfor a dinner.
They have every right to eat apizza, right, and these people
don't care.
Well, like now, all over socialmedia are these two hoo-ha
clowns that are like hey, youknow, people say that the
disabled don't get a fair chance, but if you have a woman and
only has one leg, she can alwaysgo to work at IHOP.
(25:47):
That's not funny.
I don't find that even remotelyfunny.
I wouldn't find it funny if Iwasn't an amputee and I damn
sure don't find it funny nowthat I am an amputee.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So how am I sensitive ?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Because you acknowledge these families and
you go up and you talk to themand you offer our academy, you
tell them about Sucko Squad andit's just.
You know, why does everybodyhave to be so?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
negative I do Whenever I approach this family
and say hey, we have a show thatwe would love to have you come
on.
I've seen so many bright smilesand it's just lit up their day.
You know of that child and youknow the parents are glad, but
that smile on that kid's face itmakes it worth it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Do you remember when we were invited to Eric's
birthday party and we had him onthe show and he was in Audible
and he tried to sing?
It was the sweetest thing ever.
I mean, he was a great kid, butit's just these families.
You know.
You have no idea what it's like.
I mean none.
Don't even for the minute startto wonder.
(26:58):
You know you might miss yourtennis game or your.
Whatever the case may be, we'rehoping to have a day off from a
therapy.
You know, we have physicaltherapy, we have feeding therapy
, we have speech therapy,occupational therapy, you know.
Then you have all these otherthings.
You have to go through andimplement them in throughout the
day, but there's not one thingwe would change, because that's
(27:20):
our child and we love our kidswholeheartedly and
unconditionally.
But the people out there thatare so quick and judgmental on
people, that are out theremaking a difference.
First of all, I've noticed thatand I hate the term special
needs, I think it's wrong.
Everybody has their own needs,right, everybody has their own
(27:40):
needs.
We're not disabled, we justhave obstacles.
We have different obstacles togo over, but it gives us a path
most people would never see.
When I'm in the grocery storeline, I will wait and go in line
with someone I know that has anobstacle to overcome, right,
and I tell them take your time,and I'll even slow down putting
stuff on the cart be like look,I'm one-handed it's gonna take
(28:01):
me a minute, you know because,they're doing their best.
They are, first of all.
They're out there doing a job.
They're making a living doingwhat they can.
You know, good for you.
You're out there doingsomething.
You know, if you're out thereeven bagging groceries and you
take it out and take it to thevehicle, good for you, you are
doing something.
And then you have theseassholes that are out there
(28:21):
going oh, you go work.
But you know what Misery lovescompany, and it is these poor
pricks that are out therebelittling the very people that
will smile at you and try tomake you have a better day
because you are being a dick oran ass.
Excuse, my, I get a little shegets carried away.
(28:44):
I don't say carried away.
It's the fact that, like I, Ilove our community
wholeheartedly, but so manypeople are so quick to be like
man, I just had a hard day, Iwant a beer.
And I gotta listen to this kidwith who's autistic in the next
table, or can I move?
And it's like yeah, well, youhave an issue with the fact that
(29:06):
they're having a celebrationand they're not having dinner,
but you know what you're aboutto drink.
You might have another one andanother one, and then you're
putting my family in harm's waybecause you just can't go home
and crack a beer open at homeand leave the keys on the
counter.
So you might be, you know,making a mess of more than just
yourself, but they still seem tothink that's OK.
(29:27):
And it's not.
You have a choice.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You made a comment earlier about you know they
don't.
They don't know what it's like.
They haven't walked in yourshoes, don't know what it's like
, so to speak, they haven'twalked in your shoes.
They have no idea what patienceis until they've sat with a
spoon for how many hours.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'd sit there six eight hours a day and not move,
just hoping that she'd take herfirst bite.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Just let our daughter eat one bite, that's right.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Every day.
And they told me she'd nevereat this kid, okay.
Oh, they told me she'd nevereat this cake, okay.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
She would never eat.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So she just had a plate bowl full of my husband's
homemade I don't know garlickypotato, like soft potato thing,
whatever, and he put together awhole bowl.
She had a large mozzarellasticks marinara, then she had
saute whole bowl.
She had a large mozzarellasticks marinara, then she had
sauteed onions and then she hadsome chicken and like a whole
(30:26):
bunch of stuff.
Right, this kid who was toldshe would never walk, she would
never talk, she would never eat,she would never be able to do
anything, has won an Emmy.
Kiss my ass to all those peoplewho said she wouldn't, would
never be able to do anything.
Has won an Emmy.
Kiss my ass to all those peoplewho said she would never be
able to do.
99.999% of the things that shesaid she couldn't do, and she
does them all better than anyonewho ever opened her trap mouth.
That's all I'm going to say.
(30:47):
I always have something to say.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You know a lot of.
That is, I believe, most ofthat comes from her drive, but
her inspiration is you.
You know, and then you know.
Say that Then there's me.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
My inspiration.
Why would you say that?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
I'm a dog.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It's not a dog, that's my stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
That's my stuff.
Yeah, she gets her motivationfrom you.
So if you hadn't been there, Iwouldn't have done 75% of what
she's accomplished?
I don't think so.
She woke up to what, hearingyour voice.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Hearing me sing.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Hearing you sing, that would wake anybody up.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
That would wake anybody up.
Well, easy, breezy, okay no yousound like an angel, whatever.
But the thing is is, yeah, theytell you don't stimulate.
You can't stimulate whenthey're in a medically induced
oh no, but you know what, youcan talk to them you can sing to
them, you can read to them, youcan have dad rub their feet
with a lotion I got that onvideo and the thing is is that,
(31:56):
like they told?
me she would never and we wentinto the feeding program and six
weeks of stupidness and westayed in contact with everybody
that was a family that did thisprogram at the same time and
everyone went back on thefeeding tube.
She ate through a feeding tubefor 80% of her life.
Right, and I knew she'd eat, Iknew she'd talk, and so because
(32:17):
she had what's called a proxia,where you can't say certain
things like B, p, n.
So instead of saying I needbecause the tongue goes to the
roof of your mouth and shecouldn't do that I taught her to
say I want.
So the tongue doesn't move, soit might not make sense to some
people.
I want a pencil instead of Ineed a pencil, right, she would
(32:40):
do that.
She also signed from likemonths old on, because she
needed to be able to tell mewhat she needed.
And she had a trach, and whenyou have a trait, you are
inaudible unless you have apassive ear valve on right so
she couldn't speak and I didn'tget to hear her voice.
So I taught her the signs forsimple things that she needed
and when she finally could talk.
After she got that out and shehad a proxy, so a lot of her
(33:02):
speech was inaudible.
I always understood her, but wechanged some words around and,
yes, everybody knows faith.
Now she's a major smart Alec,and so instead she would get
away with things with thedoctors when she, instead of
saying but she's so cute, whenshe would get away with things
with the doctors when she,instead of saying but she's so
(33:23):
cute when she would say but shedidn't say but because it would
kind of up Right.
So she would say ask Right, andthey would get really mad and
she's like well, they understoodme, touche.
You know, the kid goes throughso much I'm not going to say a
word.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
you know about the fact that somebody is going to
be that territorial and be rude.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
And you're going to stare at her.
You know she had a trach orwhatever.
She was a year, year and a halfold and I had to go to the
drugstore and this lady's like,oh my God, she has a hole in her
neck, I'm not missing a beat.
Faith just shot her fingers andI'm missing a beat Faith just
shot her fingers and she's like,are you going to let her do
that?
And I said, actually my handsare full.
Yeah, I am.
Yeah, it's the number one thingis she's going to always stick
(34:02):
up for herself.
You know you're miserable andyou're going to stay miserable.
She's adorable, she's sweet,cute, always adorable.
So you know, and people todayare so unhappy they're so
miserable in their lives.
You know, put the damn phonedown.
I can't stand watching myhusband TikTok scroll.
(34:24):
It drives me out of my brain.
Like he goes to the toilet,sits on his throne and for 30
minutes.
He is rolling, freaking TikTok.
I can't stand it.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I'm making a masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't give a shit, it takes time Literally, but do
it without I'm making amasterpiece.
It takes time Literally.
Watch the time you cut in half.
I don't do it.
I don't do it, it's because youhave rabbit turds.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
You'll drop logs.
Oh my God, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
People are so obsessed with their phones
they're more in love with theirphones than they are their
significant other more in lovewith their phones than spending
time with their family.
Cause people would rather be onthose stupid phones and I
guarantee you, in three, four,five years you won't know
anybody you're talking to now,because everybody's just
(35:15):
addicted to this crap.
It's ridiculous and you knowwhat?
Social media has been proven tobe as much of a addiction as
cocaine is any of the otherdrugs.
People are addicted to socialmedia and it is an addiction.
It is a true addiction and, yes, I'm looking at you.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
It is a true addiction and yes, I'm looking
at you.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I don't do cocaine, no, but you do social media.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
And it drives me.
How can you look at me so tired?
You slept 99% of the day.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
today I took a small nap.
That's how it works.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Several naps.
No, no, no, no, no no, no, no,no.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
You don't think I worked today.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
How do you figure?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Okay, so you slept for like almost two hours and
then you were a bear and thenyou stayed up for like 45
minutes and you went back tosleep until after dinner time.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
No, I accidentally passed out on the roof.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Like here's the thing you promised to swear to me
that we would repaint thekitchen by the end of today.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
No, the weekend includes Monday.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
No, it doesn't.
You've had the last six daysoff because I love having you
here.
But the problem is that yousaid I have a honeybee list
before this major surgery comingup and I got stuff to get done
and we got it done.
Social media.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
What about it?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
That's my new term for your own crack.
Oh, that's my go-to term nowSocial media, because none of
it's gotten good.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
What turned out?
Social media, because none ofit's gotten good.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
What would you like to go through the list?
No, but then listen to what Ido.
So my daughter wants cheesesticks, right, and so my
husband's making hamburger, mydaughter making hamburgers for
dinner, daughter Makinghamburgers for dinner.
So I go and get him onion rings, I get her cheese sticks and I
get them a strawberry shake andI get my little salad.
See, I'm always trying to takecare of my family and making
(37:32):
them happy and giving them allthe things that they need and
want without having to ask forthem.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
What does that have to do with social media?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
See you're thinking about your addiction again.
What about my dick?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
We're on air babe, you can't use that word.
I can say dick.
That's the third time you'vesaid it.
Okay, night, son, whoops.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Faith sent me the greatest thing.
Why?
Speaker 1 (37:59):

get married, so we've had aplethora of people joining our

I love you, mark.
I love you both.
Good night y'all.
There's a superstar here.
My wife is awesome.
And here we are another episodeof Take a Smile Unstoppable
with Michael and the sexyco-host.
Can I call you co-host?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I don't care.
Why don't you call me?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Are you serious?
Yeah, let me call her again.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm not calling you.
I'm sure you are.
Hi everyone.
Hello, Are you really going todial my phone?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
That is my ringtone for my husband, Hi y'all Welcome
back to Unstoppable withVictoria and Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Howdy y'all?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
welcome back to Unstoppable with Victoria and
Michael, we are almost into thenext month.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
September.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Which is my wife's birthday.
Yay, which should be 2019.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Hey, it's also the anniversary of my rebirth from
my education, which wasSeptember.
What Remember?
Do you remember?
No, okay, I'll give you a hint.
It's my favorite number.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What's my favorite number?
I don't know.
17?
No 8?
Yes.
18?
No 8?
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
See.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I was right on the money, whatever September 8th is
my anniversary.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It'll be three years since they whack-a-mole my arm.
I can say that because it'samazing, can I just tell you,
hold on that.
And then the same week,squirrel.
The same week this year I'mhaving another life-altering
surgery.
Okay, can we give it a?
It's bad when your surgeon sayswhat's your New Year's
(01:51):
resolution?
And I say you're staying offthe arm table and he taps my
shoulder and says you reallyneed to make your resolution
something you can achieve.
It's funny.
It's not funny.
I don't even know why that'snot funny.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Which surgeon was this?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The one from Australia.
Oh yeah, so I'm just sayingthis month.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yes, let's go back to which surgery?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So much.
And then we had this massivesurgery and we have the release
of our master class and ournewest book, dear Silent.
My husband is just starting tolook at it.
What are your thoughts so far?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
my god, for our listeners and those of y'all who
have written in.
We did have a cut off datebecause we just got unedated
with a horde of stories,testimonials and my God some of
(02:59):
them were so heartbreaking Allof them were heartbreaking we
couldn't read them.
We read them.
Heartbreaking, we couldn't readthem.
We read them.
But it was so hard.
These are true life events.
These are people's lives.
They condensed it down to apage and a half, maybe a page, a
couple paragraphs.
(03:19):
My God, some of these arecoming from children.
You really know what it's liketo see through the eyes of a
child and then have themremember this years later, as
they're grownups, and to writeit down, whereas back then they
couldn't say anything.
Right, because that's mom anddad, or that's mom instead of
(03:42):
dad, or whomever, right?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But you didn't get very far into it when you read
it, you didn't stop.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, I've got through about 10 pages and then,
yeah, it's overwhelming y'all.
This is going to be a greatsuper fantastic book compiled by
just hundreds of people outthere listening, and we thank
(04:10):
y'all.
This is a wise idea.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
All the money is going to go back to helping
these amazing individuals heal,because healing shouldn't come
with a price tag.
It shouldn't, and it's going togo hand in hand with no but a
master class that I've beenworking on creating and waiting
for my husband to say somethingI created, part one of a map
(04:34):
mapping, if you will, today umit's a 23 lesson course.
It's course one of how toprepare to leave.
Leaving isn't easy is what it'scalled, and it really goes into
the whole scenario, which justflat out pisses me off when
(04:55):
people say why didn't you justleave like you know?
Why don't you just shut thehell up?
You don't know what it's likeright.
It's like I've never had cancer,by the grace of god.
I couldn't fathom what it'slike to be a cancer survivor,
and I wouldn't.
I wouldn't even try to pretendto imagine what it's like to go
(05:15):
through having cancer, so don'ttry to figure out what it's like
to be a survivor of abusebecause I'm not going to put
myself in your shoes because Ican't wear them and you can't
wear mine.
So don't just look at somebodyand say, why didn't you just
leave?
That's like asking a cancerpatient why?
didn't you just get off Right?
I could never do that tosomebody.
(05:37):
I couldn't ask that question.
And one of the things I, honestto God, cannot tell you how
many times I've heard white news, and it wasn't just from
so-called family, so-calledfriends when does my husband go?
It's also from individuals thatreally and truly had no
(06:04):
business asking that kind ofquestion, like, for instance,
when I was being interrogatedleft, right and center during
this process.
In the beginning I was beinginterrogated by military,
military police, cid, you nameit and everybody would ask me
why didn't you just leave?
And how do you answer that tosomebody?
(06:27):
I mean, you know, no matterwhere you go, people don't just
leave you.
That's like the number onequestion that falls out of their
face.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Can I go there?
Sure, okay, I was that idiot, Iwas that jerk, I was that
asshole that asked you asked meyeah, okay, so I was a cop,
(07:06):
right?
So you asked me husband.
Several times, a lot of timesthey don't arrest Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So I'm going to arrest him tonight because I see
a handprint on your face.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I see bruising.
I see defensive wounds on him.
The house is trashed up.
Looks like you got some brokenpieces of glass on your elbow.
I'm going to arrest him and I'mgoing to ask you to leave.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay, but you're going to incarcerate him and
make me leave too.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Right, I'm going to say this is your time, because
he's going to be in jail.
Okay, don't go bail him out,don't go post bond and just
leave.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Just pack your bags and leave.
It's not that simple to do thatquickly.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Just pack up some things.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Right now you don't have kids, you have a dog.
Pack up your dog, grab some ofyour clothes, but you know, at
some point I'm going to have toreturn.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Why Just file for divorce?
But how do I do that when hecontrols all the money?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well, while he's in jail, go ahead and delete your
account.
There's so much more to it thanthat it's not that easy.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's not that easy.
I mean, I'm the one who's thevictim.
Why do I have to leave?
Why do I have to do everythingto convenience him?
I mean the car bars.
He has total control ofeverything.
How do I do that?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I mean, where do I?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
go anywhere I go, he's gonna find me and it's
gonna just infuriate him to holdit alone and then it's gonna
happen again.
If I'm gonna leave, I have todo it smartly.
That's why the average persongoes back seven times, because
they don't have a plan in place.
You know when.
And I hate to say, but mymemoir who Kicked First really
(08:53):
goes into almost a handbook ofit.
In its own way, it details indepth how I got out and honestly
it was tricky.
It was very tricky of how I gotaway, Because every time I kept
going to authorities andshowing more proof, showing more
evidence.
(09:13):
All I kept hearing is why areyou making him angry?
Why can't you just do what hewants?
And then he won't do this.
That's a load of shit, and Isaid this time and time again.
Everything can be hunky dory.
And then his side piece says Ican't see you tonight, or
somebody cuts him off on the wayhome from work or he gets in
trouble for something, and Ipromise you your
body is his battleground theminute he walks in the door.
(09:34):
That's what's gonna happen.
And so then, after having somuch evidence, I kept hearing
why do you have so much proof?
Why do you have thisoverwhelming amount of proof?
Because nobody's doing anythingto protect my life and my
unborn child's life, because Iwas pregnant when all this
happened.
So this is what I would hear.
Well, why do you keep doingthis?
(09:55):
Why do you have so much proof?
Because nobody's believing me,nobody's doing anything to help
me stay safe or to protect mychild.
You know the military hassomething called the
transitional compensation fund,right?
How would I know this if Iwasn't told about it, right?
So I was a civilian.
(10:17):
I had no idea.
I went to the advocacy centertime and time again.
I had the business card.
I had the advocate's name andher personal cell phone number
on it.
And time again, I had thebusiness card.
I had the advocate's name andher personal cell phone number
on it and her writing.
And later down the road, I gettold I thought you were taken
care of.
You must have fallen throughthe cracks.
So then they tell you oh,there's a transitional
(10:39):
compensation fund where we helpthe youth.
Do you know how much I got ofit?
Not a penny, not a dime.
But here's the thing as apolice officer, you wouldn't
know how to do a vehicularpullover unless you've been
trained and you've gone throughit.
How would a civilian know abouttransitional compensation if
she wasn't given the information?
(10:59):
I had the freaking pamphletsfrom the military in possession
that showed all of the optionsthat are out there for someone
going through this in domesticviolence, and I got zero
assistance.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Zero, so they acknowledge it to the degree
that, hey, here's a place whereyou can get help.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
A lot of times it's covered up in the military.
It's the's a place where youcan get help.
A lot of times it's covered upin the military.
It's the good old boy syndromein its own way Because it could
go all the way up to the chainof command.
And when I went to the basecommander with my private
investigator after I had escaped, they openly stated they knew
(11:44):
about what was going on with meand we had a document, we had it
recorded and still, and I haveto be very careful- because I
have signed a nondisclosure,because I did pursue litigation
and we won't.
And it's not an exorbitantamount of money because there's
a cap on it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But I wanted our daughter to always know you
fight for what's right and younever give up right.
And I wanted to hold accountablethose that should have been.
Did they get held accountable?
No, they retired with fullbenefits and received all the
bullshit that they get.
Idiot gets full pension orwhatever.
(12:27):
He wasn't in a full term orwhatever it's called.
What did I get?
Nothing?
Nothing, not one thing.
And that's the reason that thistwo-part series is coming um
about.
Leaving isn't that easy.
It's not, and it pisses me offbecause so many people are so
quick to judge when they'reoutside the window looking in,
(12:50):
but they're too afraid to comein and help.
Right, it's real easy to openyour mouth and say whatever you
want to say, but doing somethingto support someone and help
them get out of a possiblelife-threatening situation is
different.
And let me tell you and this isrecorded and it goes out to
millions and millions of people-and I will stand firmly with
(13:12):
what I'm about to say.
God forbid someone put a hand onmy face, because I'm not going
to be the bitch outside thewindow.
I promise you that it's justnot going to happen.
You lay your hands on our child.
That's all I'm going to say,and I'm not putting you on a
threat, I'm putting you on apromise Because as parents, we
are rightfully so able toprotect and defend our family
(13:35):
and our children.
Then most people don't know meas well as they should, and I
heard a lot of people ask me youhave multiple black belts.
You are trained in martial arts.
Why didn't you just beat thehell out of them and get away
(13:57):
right?
One of the first things youlearn and you learn in the
police academy is de-escalation,first and foremost, right right
off the bat.
de-escalate, get away when youare straddled in your sleep with
this son of a bitch on top ofyou and you're pregnant and he's
beating you in the face left,right and center to tell you
(14:18):
bitch, get up and go get mesomething to drink, I'm thirsty,
you know.
De-escalation is not possibleat that moment when the one time
.
One time you try to leave, heshoots and kills your puppy to
show you what he would do if youleft.
You know you've got to be realsmart to get out and survive
real smart.
So de-escalation doesn't alwayswork.
(14:40):
I will tell you that my martialart training saved my life,
because I know that some peoplemight think and I would love
your input on this.
Some people might think this islike lackadoodle for me to say,
but anybody with any martial arttraining will relate.
When you are going through anddoing your training and moving
up in rank, you spar and youwork on your katas and your
(15:03):
forearm, but you spar againstother martial artists and when
you're getting punched, you'regetting kicked, you're getting
hit, you're learning how to takeit is what it is and so many
times I had to psychologicallyput myself back in like a dojo
mindset because I'm pregnant,right, and it's just, it's a hit
(15:23):
.
It's just a hit and I openlyadmit that I made a deal with
the devil.
I told him if he never wentafter my stomach my child at
that time I would not fight himback because I knew there was no
way I was going to get out andsurvive.
There was no way.
I was in the ICU too many times, I was at death's door too many
times and I knew I had onechance that I would actually be
(15:46):
able to get out and survive One,and so I could heal with a
broken nose.
I could heal from a broken jawNot pleasantly, but I could.
I could heal from broken foot,you know, broken fingers,
whatever, I wasn't going to losemy daughter.
I just wasn't going to.
And so so many people gave mecrap about the fact that, well,
(16:08):
you have all this martial artstraining, why didn't you just
kick his ass?
Well, it's not as easy aspeople think.
It's different.
If you are approached out inpublic and somebody tries to
jump you, absolutely you candefend yourself but, like I said
, when you're asleep and you'repregnant and you're already
healing from other injuries andyou just watched your puppy get
shot and killed.
(16:29):
And every time you try to showsomebody that there's an injury
and they just kind of laugh inyour face you do become that
battered, beaten, just invertedperson that doesn't believe in
themselves, that doesn't believein the idea of ever being free
again.
Your self-esteem goes in thetoilet it's tanked.
(16:52):
You know, control becomes likehis every way of life, financial
control, and I made five timesa year what he did, if not more,
but it doesn't matter, becauseyou say anything that's out of
line and violence is coming yourway.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And y'all excuse me, that was just a small snippet of
her story.
We read so many stories likehers.
And you know, you find out thereason why.
Why can't I leave?
Why couldn't I leave?
Why didn't we leave?
Y'all go to Amazon and pick upher book by Victoria Curie, who
(17:41):
Keeps First, and be on thelookout for this one coming in
October.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
The one thing I want to bring up that I think is and
I think you did, I think I readthis one to you is at first I
didn't understand.
It was a child who and it is inthe book talks about how much
they hated her books.
Right, I hated my mom my entirechildhood.
I didn't know why I hated herbecause she wouldn't leave.
Right, she wouldn't leave.
(18:06):
You know what I'm talking about.
And it goes on and on about howthis child had to watch their
mom get beaten constantly andends up towards the end where
they realize that, this motherthat they made miserable their
whole childhood because theyhated their mom so much, ended
(18:28):
up realizing that the reason shestayed was for the kids and a
lot of people say that becausethe mom was petrified that if
she left, yes, she would be free, yes, she would be protected,
but so many times, as I evenheard at one point in court when
I said to the judge I'm goingafter termination of rights and
(18:49):
the judge says, well, he hasn'thit the baby, not yet, but it's
coming, right, it's coming.
And I said he's not going to bealone there again.
He already hurt her.
He already hurt her and I wouldbe damned if I'm going to let
it happen again.
But the story of thisindividual that wrote in was I
hated my mom and then I realizedthat she knew if she left every
(19:11):
other weekend I'd be alone andshe couldn't protect me.
What an eye opening.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
right, right, it's a huge eye opening but then you
had that story that put out umhere recently about that
so-called father.
He wasn't a father.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The one who killed his two-day-old baby.
Oh God, it just makes me soangry.
You know, having kids is aprivilege, you know.
It makes me sick because somepeople do it for government
assistance, because they get somuch money.
Not everybody Some right.
Then you have people who havewaited their whole life to have
children and they can't, forwhatever reason.
And then you have people whohave absolutely no business
(19:52):
having kids.
None Right, Absolutely none.
And you know, in Alabama theystarted doing chemical
castration on pedophiles whenthey're released, on pedophiles
when they're released, and ofcourse people went up in arms
how that is inhumane to do tosomeone who has been
rehabilitated.
Well, first of all, we all knowyou're not rehabilitated right.
(20:13):
Second of all, when you comeout and you have touched
children, I don't believe youhave the right to have a child.
And people are like, well,that's their right, they have
right to have kids.
And people are like, well,that's their right, they have
the right to have kids.
No, they don't.
No, they don't.
I mean, why should they be ableto have a kid?
(20:34):
yeah, I agree do you thinkchemical castration is inhumane
no, it's not harsh enough andthen they're told they can't be
around uh schoolyards or schoolsor playgrounds the people say
that's not fair we even had apedophile on our show and he
argued that there shouldn't be asex registry, that the money
(20:57):
should be used to help them andif they want to hang around a
school or playground they shouldbe able to.
But do you remember what hesaid that really just floored
the both of us about?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
we asked what would happen if his child, if he ever
had a child.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Oh my God, what an idiot If he ever had a child and
that child was abused.
Do you remember what he said?
Yeah, what did he say?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That he would try to provide therapy for the abuser
with his child in the room.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yes, I lost my shit.
Are you kidding me?
I did it.
You're going to re-assault thatkid.
That kid's going to getre-assaulted.
And then there's dad, who'ssupposed to be the protector,
who's supposed to be the one toprotect the child, and you're
bringing this person and monsterinto their home where your home
(21:52):
is supposed to be your safeplace.
It's supposed to be the placethat you're your safest and you
know that you're your safest andyou know that you are loved and
taken care of, and then youbring this monster into the home
.
That just doesn't even make anysense to me.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
At all Yep.
So we haven't had any more mapson our show Right, and then I
was told that we had to identifyhim as a map, not a pedophile,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Do you remember what maps was the acronym?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
for minor attractive person that's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's disgusting, you know.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Kids can be adorable, cute,beautiful, handsome, but how are
you intimately attracted to aminor child, like you know, and
I guess we won't understand this?
We're not that way, we're notwired that way, but you know,
and then I have to touch basefor a minute, like all of
(22:50):
georgia, thanks to the governorum brian kent just put flags at
halfast for the shootings thattranspired in the Catholic
church.
But, here's the thing the personthat came out, his mom was a
teacher in a school, okay, andI've seen mixed reports, but he
was going through atransformation.
(23:11):
He was trans, right, right.
But what I don't get is andI've seen this so many times
when I read the background ofthese people who go in there
with their manifestos and whatthey want to do to the schools,
and a lot of them, especiallythis guy.
(23:32):
This guy was obsessed with callof duty.
He was playing it constantlyand he thought, because he could
just freely run around andshoot people on a game that was
his reality, he could go and doit in this place and then these
young, innocent children arekilled.
They'll never get to have theirgraduation.
Or they won't get to have awedding or go to prom or do all
(23:54):
the things that they have everyright to do and who?
The hell are these people totake that away from them?
Who are these people who canjust go up into a Walmart and
just randomly stab people for noreason?
It happens in Target, ithappens everywhere.
Now, you see, it's constantthat this is happening.
(24:19):
You know, you see, it's it'sconstant that this is happening
there's bomb we saw three bombthreat scares in elementary
schools in the last two weeks.
Yeah, elementary school, theschool are you kidding that?
That to me doesn't even beginto make any sense to me what the
hell is going on in thiscountry and so many people are
blaming trump.
This didn't just happen withTrump.
Columbine didn't happen underTrump's administration, right?
(24:41):
So how are people blaming him?
I mean, come on now, you know,and it's like people find
amusement in the most disgusting, darkest ways.
And until you're in thatsituation, still still, and you
know, here's the thing myhusband has, in the last several
(25:05):
, several years, become verysensitive to certain things.
Like we gone out to dinner andwe see a beautiful family trying
to have dinner and they have achild who's autistic or a child
who has Down syndrome orsomething like that Everybody's
staring at this kid.
But you know what?
They're beautiful family.
(25:26):
They have every right to go outfor a dinner.
They have every right to eat apizza, right, and these people
don't care.
Well, like now, all over socialmedia are these two hoo-ha
clowns that are like hey, youknow, people say that the
disabled don't get a fair chance, but if you have a woman and
only has one leg, she can alwaysgo to work at IHOP.
(25:47):
That's not funny.
I don't find that even remotelyfunny.
I wouldn't find it funny if Iwasn't an amputee and I damn
sure don't find it funny nowthat I am an amputee.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So how am I sensitive ?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Because you acknowledge these families and
you go up and you talk to themand you offer our academy, you
tell them about Sucko Squad andit's just.
You know, why does everybodyhave to be so?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
negative I do Whenever I approach this family
and say hey, we have a show thatwe would love to have you come
on.
I've seen so many bright smilesand it's just lit up their day.
You know of that child and youknow the parents are glad, but
that smile on that kid's face itmakes it worth it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Do you remember when we were invited to Eric's
birthday party and we had him onthe show and he was in Audible
and he tried to sing?
It was the sweetest thing ever.
I mean, he was a great kid, butit's just these families.
You know.
You have no idea what it's like.
I mean none.
Don't even for the minute startto wonder.
(26:58):
You know you might miss yourtennis game or your.
Whatever the case may be, we'rehoping to have a day off from a
therapy.
You know, we have physicaltherapy, we have feeding therapy
, we have speech therapy,occupational therapy, you know.
Then you have all these otherthings.
You have to go through andimplement them in throughout the
day, but there's not one thingwe would change, because that's
(27:20):
our child and we love our kidswholeheartedly and
unconditionally.
But the people out there thatare so quick and judgmental on
people, that are out theremaking a difference.
First of all, I've noticed thatand I hate the term special
needs, I think it's wrong.
Everybody has their own needs,right, everybody has their own
(27:40):
needs.
We're not disabled, we justhave obstacles.
We have different obstacles togo over, but it gives us a path
most people would never see.
When I'm in the grocery storeline, I will wait and go in line
with someone I know that has anobstacle to overcome, right,
and I tell them take your time,and I'll even slow down putting
stuff on the cart be like look,I'm one-handed it's gonna take
(28:01):
me a minute, you know because,they're doing their best.
They are, first of all.
They're out there doing a job.
They're making a living doingwhat they can.
You know, good for you.
You're out there doingsomething.
You know, if you're out thereeven bagging groceries and you
take it out and take it to thevehicle, good for you, you are
doing something.
And then you have theseassholes that are out there
(28:21):
going oh, you go work.
But you know what Misery lovescompany, and it is these poor
pricks that are out therebelittling the very people that
will smile at you and try tomake you have a better day
because you are being a dick oran ass.
Excuse, my, I get a little shegets carried away.
(28:44):
I don't say carried away.
It's the fact that, like I, Ilove our community
wholeheartedly, but so manypeople are so quick to be like
man, I just had a hard day, Iwant a beer.
And I gotta listen to this kidwith who's autistic in the next
table, or can I move?
And it's like yeah, well, youhave an issue with the fact that
(29:06):
they're having a celebrationand they're not having dinner,
but you know what you're aboutto drink.
You might have another one andanother one, and then you're
putting my family in harm's waybecause you just can't go home
and crack a beer open at homeand leave the keys on the
counter.
So you might be, you know,making a mess of more than just
yourself, but they still seem tothink that's OK.
(29:27):
And it's not.
You have a choice.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You made a comment earlier about you know they
don't.
They don't know what it's like.
They haven't walked in yourshoes, don't know what it's like
, so to speak, they haven'twalked in your shoes.
They have no idea what patienceis until they've sat with a
spoon for how many hours.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'd sit there six eight hours a day and not move,
just hoping that she'd take herfirst bite.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Just let our daughter eat one bite, that's right.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Every day.
And they told me she'd nevereat this kid, okay.
Oh, they told me she'd nevereat this cake, okay.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
She would never eat.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So she just had a plate bowl full of my husband's
homemade I don't know garlickypotato, like soft potato thing,
whatever, and he put together awhole bowl.
She had a large mozzarellasticks marinara, then she had
saute whole bowl.
She had a large mozzarellasticks marinara, then she had
sauteed onions and then she hadsome chicken and like a whole
(30:26):
bunch of stuff.
Right, this kid who was toldshe would never walk, she would
never talk, she would never eat,she would never be able to do
anything, has won an Emmy.
Kiss my ass to all those peoplewho said she wouldn't, would
never be able to do anything.
Has won an Emmy.
Kiss my ass to all those peoplewho said she would never be
able to do.
99.999% of the things that shesaid she couldn't do, and she
does them all better than anyonewho ever opened her trap mouth.
That's all I'm going to say.
(30:47):
I always have something to say.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You know a lot of.
That is, I believe, most ofthat comes from her drive, but
her inspiration is you.
You know, and then you know.
Say that Then there's me.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
My inspiration.
Why would you say that?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
I'm a dog.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It's not a dog, that's my stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
That's my stuff.
Yeah, she gets her motivationfrom you.
So if you hadn't been there, Iwouldn't have done 75% of what
she's accomplished?
I don't think so.
She woke up to what, hearingyour voice.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Hearing me sing.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Hearing you sing, that would wake anybody up.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
That would wake anybody up.
Well, easy, breezy, okay no yousound like an angel, whatever.
But the thing is is, yeah, theytell you don't stimulate.
You can't stimulate whenthey're in a medically induced
oh no, but you know what, youcan talk to them you can sing to
them, you can read to them, youcan have dad rub their feet
with a lotion I got that onvideo and the thing is is that,
(31:56):
like they told?
me she would never and we wentinto the feeding program and six
weeks of stupidness and westayed in contact with everybody
that was a family that did thisprogram at the same time and
everyone went back on thefeeding tube.
She ate through a feeding tubefor 80% of her life.
Right, and I knew she'd eat, Iknew she'd talk, and so because
(32:17):
she had what's called a proxia,where you can't say certain
things like B, p, n.
So instead of saying I needbecause the tongue goes to the
roof of your mouth and shecouldn't do that I taught her to
say I want.
So the tongue doesn't move, soit might not make sense to some
people.
I want a pencil instead of Ineed a pencil, right, she would
(32:40):
do that.
She also signed from likemonths old on, because she
needed to be able to tell mewhat she needed.
And she had a trach, and whenyou have a trait, you are
inaudible unless you have apassive ear valve on right so
she couldn't speak and I didn'tget to hear her voice.
So I taught her the signs forsimple things that she needed
and when she finally could talk.
After she got that out and shehad a proxy, so a lot of her
(33:02):
speech was inaudible.
I always understood her, but wechanged some words around and,
yes, everybody knows faith.
Now she's a major smart Alec,and so instead she would get
away with things with thedoctors when she, instead of
saying but she's so cute, whenshe would get away with things
with the doctors when she,instead of saying but she's so
(33:23):
cute when she would say but shedidn't say but because it would
kind of up Right.
So she would say ask Right, andthey would get really mad and
she's like well, they understoodme, touche.
You know, the kid goes throughso much I'm not going to say a
word.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
you know about the fact that somebody is going to
be that territorial and be rude.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
And you're going to stare at her.
You know she had a trach orwhatever.
She was a year, year and a halfold and I had to go to the
drugstore and this lady's like,oh my God, she has a hole in her
neck, I'm not missing a beat.
Faith just shot her fingers andI'm missing a beat Faith just
shot her fingers and she's like,are you going to let her do
that?
And I said, actually my handsare full.
Yeah, I am.
Yeah, it's the number one thingis she's going to always stick
(34:02):
up for herself.
You know you're miserable andyou're going to stay miserable.
She's adorable, she's sweet,cute, always adorable.
So you know, and people todayare so unhappy they're so
miserable in their lives.
You know, put the damn phonedown.
I can't stand watching myhusband TikTok scroll.
(34:24):
It drives me out of my brain.
Like he goes to the toilet,sits on his throne and for 30
minutes.
He is rolling, freaking TikTok.
I can't stand it.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I'm making a masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't give a shit, it takes time Literally, but do
it without I'm making amasterpiece.
It takes time Literally.
Watch the time you cut in half.
I don't do it.
I don't do it, it's because youhave rabbit turds.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
You'll drop logs.
Oh my God, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
People are so obsessed with their phones
they're more in love with theirphones than they are their
significant other more in lovewith their phones than spending
time with their family.
Cause people would rather be onthose stupid phones and I
guarantee you, in three, four,five years you won't know
anybody you're talking to now,because everybody's just
(35:15):
addicted to this crap.
It's ridiculous and you knowwhat?
Social media has been proven tobe as much of a addiction as
cocaine is any of the otherdrugs.
People are addicted to socialmedia and it is an addiction.
It is a true addiction and, yes, I'm looking at you.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
It is a true addiction and yes, I'm looking
at you.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
I don't do cocaine, no, but you do social media.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
And it drives me.
How can you look at me so tired?
You slept 99% of the day.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
today I took a small nap.
That's how it works.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Several naps.
No, no, no, no, no no, no, no,no.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
You don't think I worked today.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
How do you figure?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Okay, so you slept for like almost two hours and
then you were a bear and thenyou stayed up for like 45
minutes and you went back tosleep until after dinner time.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
No, I accidentally passed out on the roof.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Like here's the thing you promised to swear to me
that we would repaint thekitchen by the end of today.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
No, the weekend includes Monday.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
No, it doesn't.
You've had the last six daysoff because I love having you
here.
But the problem is that yousaid I have a honeybee list
before this major surgery comingup and I got stuff to get done
and we got it done.
Social media.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
What about it?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
That's my new term for your own crack.
Oh, that's my go-to term nowSocial media, because none of
it's gotten good.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
What turned out?
Social media, because none ofit's gotten good.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
What would you like to go through the list?
No, but then listen to what Ido.
So my daughter wants cheesesticks, right, and so my
husband's making hamburger, mydaughter making hamburgers for
dinner, daughter Makinghamburgers for dinner.
So I go and get him onion rings, I get her cheese sticks and I
get them a strawberry shake andI get my little salad.
See, I'm always trying to takecare of my family and making
(37:32):
them happy and giving them allthe things that they need and
want without having to ask forthem.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
What does that have to do with social media?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
See you're thinking about your addiction again.
What about my dick?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
We're on air babe, you can't use that word.
I can say dick.
That's the third time you'vesaid it.
Okay, night, son, whoops.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Faith sent me the greatest thing.
Why?
Speaker 1 (37:59):

get married, so we've had aplethora of people joining our

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
