#127 Protecting Borders with Ray Cervantes: Sleeping Dragons & Southern Borders

Recorded on November 5, 2024, this long-awaited new episode marks the triumphant return of the Dancing With Ourselves (DWO) podcast after a four-month release hiatus! The DWO crew—Kane, Jimmy, and Josh—come back swinging with special guest Roy Cervantes: retired Air Force K-9 handler, former U.S. Border Patrol agent, and author of Never Wake Up a Sleeping Dragon.

A close friend of the show (and Josh’s online gaming battle buddy), Roy joins the crew for a funny, heartfelt, and raw conversation about life in uniform, the strange beauty of brotherhood, and the road from warfighter to writer.

What to expect:

🛡 AF + BP = Real Talk: Roy recounts gripping stories from his time as a military working dog handler and border protector—honest, wild, and never sugarcoated.
📖 Sleeping Dragons & Spoken Truths: A behind-the-scenes peek into Roy’s book and what drove him to write it.
🎮 Call of Duty, Literally: From serving his country to slaying noobs with Josh, hear how friendship, gaming, and grit all collide.
💬 Back With a Bang: The crew shakes off the dust and picks up right where they left off—irreverent, nostalgic, and still Gen X AF.

📅 We're back, baby. May the Fourth was yesterday, today is Cinco de Mayo, and tomorrow... we drop a fresh wave of DWO episodes that you won’t want to miss!
