Speaker 5 (02:29):
So many of you may know or may not know I am on the board of Canine Jaeger Foundation. We are a small but upcoming service dog training organization. We follow the Tadsaw model of cooperative training or personally trained service dog, privately trained service dog, participant trained service dog. We've taken over PN. and made it into our own. We have a client. has a challenge, has an issue. problem. They are renting a duplex from a person. who owns this property and the property happens to be in. Now, the problem is this. The HOA believes that they have the... first of all, determine what breed a service dog may or may not be, what size it may or may not be, and that they have the authority to be a service dog. uh a disabled

Speaker 4 (03:48):
[BLANK_AUDIO]

Speaker 5 (03:50):
I'm absolutely none of that is true. Although a homeowners association may determine what size and breeds pet dogs may be within the association. the kind of person who... Relinquish your... to a bunch of Karens who think that it's their business to run your business, then more power to you. That's not me. I believe in myself. But that's neither here nor there. That, you know, if you want to agree to the homeowners association's rules, that's, that's your biggest problem. Um, that literally has nothing to do with service dogs legally, not in any way, shape or form, literally zero laws empower anyone to tell you how big your service dog can be or what breed your service dog can be zero laws, the law that says, but you can't have a connie Corso, or you can't have, uh, an Alaskan Malamute, or you can't have a pit bull terrier. Disabilities Act. And the only limitation that it puts on breed is that it must be a dog, a pet dog, Canis lupus familiaris, meaning that things like wolf hybrids cannot be service dogs, coyote hybrids cannot be service dogs. Somebody suggested a hyena hybrid, it cannot be a service dog. Because technically, That's it. The only other animal that can be a certain animal. for a disabled person to have equal access with is a miniature horse and those are specific special cases. That is defined and outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. That is the only law in existence specializing in the law of the disability act. As to my knowledge, every single state law adopts the federal definition of what is called a federal law. service dog is all of them. Some state laws and some local laws are more permissive and allow other animals to be considered as service animals. Ohio, for example, allows parrots and monkeys, but employee activity under the Fair Housing Act. Fair Housing Act accepts and reconfirms the Americans with Disabilities Act's definition of what a service dog is. Now the Fair Housing Act is the only law that protects access. in emotional support. Again, uh. not defining breed not defining size simply saying that your that emotional support animals are protected for access to housing. support animal. Now, an emotional support animal can be a cat, a dog, a a goat that it's nebulous, which is why the ADA specifically states dogs and in certain It is very clear that the American people are not going to let the horses go. dogs. Period. Pet dogs. The dog. that is Canis lupus familiaris. of the animal that is a special training. An emotional support animal isn't required to perform any tasks. An emotional support animal, by definition, is an emotional support animal. It's not required to perform any tasks. It's not required to perform any tasks. It's not required to perform any tasks. simply comforts its owner.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
existing. That is a pet. And I'm not going to be rich JJ. I mean, there's always just talking about

Speaker 5 (08:09):
They do not. Federal law, the Americans with Disabilities Act, again, the only law that defines service animals specifically says there are organizations that sell certification service dogs that paperwork and registration and certification is neither required by. recognized by the Department of Justice. and bears no legal, has no legal bearing. It's number question 17 on the FAQ on ada.gov by the way. Yes. And that was almost.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
paraphrased a little, but go read it. It's close to perfect. - It actually says, "No. Covered entities may not require documentation such as proof that the animal has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal as a condition for entry. There are individuals and organizations that sell service animal certification or registration documents online. These documents do not convey any rights under the ADA and the Department of Justice's order." that the dog is a service animal.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
Registration is bullshit. Certification is bullshit. If you pay for that paperwork you just got swindled.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
know you've gotten this question before or community or whatever. And by the ADA, no, mandatory registration of service animals is not permissible under the ADA. However, as stated above, service animals are subject to the same license.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
nation rules that are applied to all dogs. - Now, Michigan, the state of Michigan gets around that by. animals, which, and you can take advantage of that, however, it puts you on a list. So that's a personal decision, whether or not you want to pay for a registration or you want to go ahead and get the free registration when you request the free registration, they ask you questions and basically put you on a list. So, it is a... by the... service animal registry. They have not to my knowledge used... to try to control access. However, it's the same as a gun registry. The potential is there for that to be turned against the service recommended. I didn't take advantage of it when I lived. Anyway, Fair Housing Act. Again, protect -- to housing. animal. Period. End of discussion. As a matter of fact, the most recent updates to the Fair Housing Act, which was in late 2019, early 2020, basically limited housing, uh, management, uh, landlords to being able to ask only the same two questions that the Americans with disabilities, uh, protects the rights of businesses to act, ask, which is, is that a service animal required because of a disability? only questions a handler can be asked by federal law. That's it.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
there in black and white.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
[BLANK_AUDIO] This homeowners association has been harassing this poor hamper. from somebody else. Property belongs in the HOA. And that person came to Jaeger because they're one of our clients, naturally, and said, I need help there. can't have my dog because it weighs 60 pounds or something, you know, it's a medium sized dog, but their maximum weight limit for dogs is 30 pounds, which is fucking ridiculous. Who wants to live in a neighborhood of nothing but yapp dogs? Fucking self-propelled dust bombs. Who wants to live in a neighborhood where you can't even own your fucking property and do what you want on your own fucking property. Well, you got some asshole down the road. It's all like, Oh no.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
No, sorry. You can change your oil in the front yard. Really quick. I want to let everybody know from hope for 22 a day dot or we got Miss Kashi in here tonight with us. So Kashi feel free to jump in at any moment in time on any of these conversations. who would need help to get into Zoom.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
and get her in. Awesome. So, anyway, uh, came to us naturally we stepped in and contacted the HOA and boy there's a lot going on. is has nobody's ever seen their lawyer. office that that first that lawyer. supposedly occupies has been empty for more than a year. So so basically, it's a Chinese scam store. Yeah, pretty. I mean, this is this dumbass. is paying a non-existent lawyer, they're being scammed. Anyway, we told them. You have no say. You can't comment on a service talk. You have no say. You legally can say nothing. they they came back with blue blue blue blue blue blue blue no no first of all this isn't a property owner it's renter but second of all regards. whether they own the property or not, the only-- that limit anything about service dogs. are the ADA and the Fair Housing Act, period. You can't say a word about a service dog. You can't tell them what size it can be. They don't need your permission to use a service dog. You have no legal right to do anything about it. to do with it. You need to stop harassing this disabled person, which is what they're doing. Hey, hey, the one thing that every story of every hurt ever heard about HLA's every fun story is that the Karens is... way harass people to get their way. And that's what they're doing to this poor handler. So, there was some back and forth and they came back and said, oh, OK, we understand. fourth was. The Jaeger Foundation had to have the real... Fair Housing Office, the regional HUD Office. office. and tell them they're violating the Fair Housing Act. They're breaking federal law and they're responsible. oh okay we didn't know. which is dumb. not an excuse for. on December 3rd, 2019. teeth. sent us a copy of their updated pet policies for the HOA, and it's on my page on ptsdog on Facebook. But the screen. restrictions pet policy and beneath the pet policy any other type of pet must be presented to the board for approval. Service animals if larger than the current allowance the animal must... And a training certificate is to be provided to the board of directors. That is literally a great thing. in violation of two. civil rights laws. That is discrimination. That is called ableism. They were explained explicitly to by K-9 Yeager Foundation, our lawyer, and the HUD, a that they cannot impose any restrictions whatsoever on a service animal. And this is their response. quote unquote consulted with their lawyer and they drafted this policy. At this point we're looking at a fair housing complaint with HUD and a lawsuit. Um, literally folks, if you handle the service dog and if you live in an HOA, if you're considering purchasing in an HOA, which I quite frankly would not do. But to each their own if you want an HOA, hey, knock yourself out if you're disabled and use a service. an HOA representative in any way. perform questions you beyond is that a service dog required for a disability and if so what tasks are trained to perform if they say anything other than that they are. to equal access under the Fair Housing Act, and through their misunderstanding, misuse, or abuse of understanding of the Americans with Disabilities Act, they're violating your right to equal access under the Americans with Disabilities Act. federal laws and these are civil rights violations this is legally defined discrimination based on your disability and the modality you use to mitigate your disability that being a service dog this is the legal equivalent of the HOA telling you well you can only use johnson's and wheelchairs. because we don't approve of their access to our property. Well, first of all, it's not your property. property. And second of all, you can.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
a disabled person what brand of wheelchair they can use or what breed of service dog they can use. Honestly, it also sounds like an abuse of power because essentially an HOA is there basically just to keep and enhance the property value and quote unquote create a living environment, a pleasant living environment.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
by maintaining standards and practices and providing services to the homeowners in that area, right? Right, right. And that's it. It's absolutely abusive power. But see, that's what an HOA is. It's people who are bored, who think that it should be their business to get into everybody else's business around them and try to control other people, because they want power. It's the rich assholes that couldn't get their hands on power.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
get by in life by doing anything significant on their own. So they've got to do something to feel significant. So this is what they do. Yeah. Yeah. They basically want to be cunts to everybody else because they have power. They've instilled themselves in power so that they could behave that way. Yeah. So I've talked about my ex-wife before and her family. Well, I loved her, her dad. And when they moved down to Florida, her mom wanted to move to an HOA and have a house built. Well, they did. They were there for about he absolutely loathed it. Like it's the worst fucking place. And I hated that place because one, I was, I was in other yards at Florida when we were down there. The grass was great in this HOA. It felt like the fakest fucking grass and stabbed you. If you looked at it, it was that fucking sharp. It was the dumbest fucking thing ever. Everything looked exactly. It was like Edward Scissors hands. Oh, it was basically like that. Everything the same like take away the pastel colors. It's an upgraded version, but it looked the exact same. I didn't... time when I'd go down the road, I was like, where, where do I turn? Like, where's their house? I don't know. But HOAs are honestly. that right there. It's it's the kid who could.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
class president. And so he faked his way to mayor and thinks he can run the entire country. Bottom line is this. And people, I get a lot of flack and a lot of pushback on Facebook for making but I'm gonna make it because it's absolutely accurate. People don't like it because it's to the... this is very much a radical. comparison but I liken the attempts by. individuals or organizations to lead. or control access to and use of service dogs to gun laws, gun control laws. Oh, absolutely. And here's why. Now, remember, the Americans with Disabilities Act is a civil rights law. It is a natural progression of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It protects the right to equal access for disabled people, regardless of their disability or what they may need to use to help mitigate that

Speaker 4 (22:44):
you are able to push yourself with your hands up a fucking hill, you don't need to be in a wheelchair. But, but... 45 degree incline for a person. wheelchair it'll. ever to get up that fucking ramp. Like it's no joke. If they can also, when you are making an accessible establishment, those aisles, those entryways need to at least, I know they say 36 inches, but at least they need to be 38 inches because And you're barely squeezing in if you're a full size grown adult. That's I hate the word disabled in a wheelchair. I'm not joking Most people that are disabled are big not because they chose to be it gets 99% of it is medicines. I've got Kushen's disease from prednisone. I can't, I can't. lose the shit. I look like a fucking beer keg with sticks as arms and legs, like literally. - Wait a minute, wait a minute, why, why?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Just why, why you gotta explain it like that?

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Ask Oink. JJ, they know you very well. I figured out the microphone by the way. myself on thank you. Whoa simmer down.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
that kind of show.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
way you guys are online with me on TikTok say hi to everybody on TikTok too. Sergeant Wardog. asleep like I did earlier and woke up late. I forgot what time it was. How you doing, brother? But seriously, if you're going to make an accessible establishment, actually make it accessible. Don't just go by this footprint that the ADA sets out because it's one of the worst footprints I've ever seen. It's a great start, but it's honestly the basic of all basics. There are places in town that just because the door is wide enough doesn't mean that the aisles are wide enough, right? So, yeah. Anyway, that's my ball on the tech. I could go further, but. Yeah. Well, so, yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
So, again, like I said, I liken people trying to make rules about service dogs for disabled Why? The second amendment does not grant-- or permit American citizens the right to keep and bear arms. The second amendment is written to protect the right to keep American citizens to keep bear arms doesn't give it to you. It protects you from the government because it is your natural born right that the preamble to the Bill of Rights explains people are born with The first one is freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Not freedom from religion. And people need to read that again. Yeah. The second one is the right to keep and bear arms. A militia. You know, if you read the Second Amendment, it says a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Understanding the language of the day, Penn and Teller break this down brilliantly. I love that. Well, really, that is able to pick up a gun and use it to defend themselves and their country. It is. not the National Guard. Yeah. The militia. is in entailed of every able bodied American citizen. - It's also not about going out and hunting. own magazine. It's not. But you have the right to hunt with a third round magazine should you so desire. It shall not be infringed.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
because i love everybody well who needs 30 rounds to go hunting? I want to go get the fucking herd. Maybe I want to. I. Am. (laughing)

Speaker 2 (27:21):
(laughing) Speaking of hunting, my husband, the reason why he's not here.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
he is actually hunting. He's pheasant hunting. And-- And where are you? Because it's pitch black here in the east coast. He's in Texas right now.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
What?

Speaker 5 (27:41):
He should be dark side now. How's he what?

Speaker 4 (27:45):
- No, no, no. - Bored.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
(laughing) Wait a minute, where'd you guys go?

Speaker 4 (27:52):
I think I just said--

Speaker 5 (27:59):
this is why Jared is in charge of computers and not me. I love this woman. So anyway, that parallel works because again, any rules that you put on the Second Amendment is an infringement. rights. Well, in the same way, any rules you put on the right of a disabled person have equal access is an infringement on their rights. And the reason I use this parallel is because look what to keep and bear arms. of the United States because we allowed the last. Murdoch help me. because we allowed the NFA to be passed. We allowed the National Firearms Act to be passed. ATF was formed and now you have to get the government's permission. If you can pay them enough money, then you can have a suppressor. automatic rifle.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
was passed in 1935?

Speaker 5 (29:15):
before, correct me if I'm wrong. - You know why if the NFA was written in past?

Speaker 4 (29:24):
about it. Not asking questions.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
Prohibition because they wanted a way to legally go after the gangsters who were shooting up everybody so they could boot like whiskey!

Speaker 4 (29:44):
or not was going across. state lines into, you guessed it, Canada by way of the Michigan lake. Yep. And he actually was very Armed to the teeth, might I?

Speaker 5 (30:02):
legally at that point in time. Yeah. So they had to find a way to get him because it was called component. He was violating prohibition. Yes. And it's, yeah. So, yeah, though, honestly, the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms should of stores, and a great way to get revenue for the government. If ATF became a chain of stores, we would never have to pay taxes because nobody's going to stop buying booze or cigarettes or guns. I mean, I'm not going to buy or stop buying anything. I'm just, and I've got my hands or my. Well, I can say now don't get, do remember we usually have a listener in DC. Don't you know? I didn't say no. Look, look, look, look, look, I said a few things now.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
This while you guys are talking because I've somehow fixed up or fucked up the Zoom. and Kashi.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Armstrong over here. No, he put it that way. It makes me look fine on my screen anyway. Anyway. Anyway, so, yeah, so if you look at where we've come, because when they when the Second Amendment was was made to the Constitution of the United States, people, citizens, were purchasing warships, letters of Marl. letters of Mark and they were policing and patrolling us for pirates. And they could buy cannons and they could have, and they could, they could build their own warships and defend US shipping. And you best goddamn believe, if you take away today's guns, I'm gonna use a goddamn cannon.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
your ass if you step up my motherfucking house unannounced.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
And don't forget about us Polish women over here with our wooden spoons, ok?

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Just saying. Well we don't forget.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
- Oh, yes homie. - Oh my God. - Oh my God, that's a good one. - I was about to say we can stuff that fucking barrel of that cannon with all that shit. What is that they call it? - Oh, hells yeah. - What is it they call it when you do that? - Grape shot. - Grape shot, that's it. - Yep. - We'll fill it with grape shot. - They would literally, when things got bad, they would literally load cannons with all the cutlery on. - Yep. - And that would, that would shri-

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Imagine having a imagine having a stir. silver spoon forced down your spine from a cannon.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
So you're saying Captain Jack Sparrow didn't invent that?

Speaker 5 (32:47):
- That was actually common practice. When you ran out of cannonballs, you started using whatever you had that was hard and would hurt somebody if it hit them.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
That actually goes back to me. I think she said she said, oh. That actually goes back to the 1450s, 1420s, something like that.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
They realized they could do that. I mean, I don't think they realized it, but they decided to anyway. I'll tell you, one of the one of the most horrendous things that you could ever shoot at another human being is chain shot, which is two small cannonballs. The barrel of the cannon with a chain in between. And that chain could be anywhere from two, three feet to six or seven feet long. And once that's launched and those cannonballs start to separate Yes, they did some crazy. If you want to read some harrowing shit about ship to ship battles using cannons in the 17 and 1800s, you need to read books by Patrick O'Brien.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
because this whole thing is like, that's what she said moment. Okay, look, Kashi, look, you need to watch one of mine and JJ's all time favorite movies, Master and Commander. It's terrible as far as following the books and absolutely brilliant because of how well it represents the time. It's very accurate. There is a scene with which he's walking down the. What is it from the stern? I believe. and Shrattinal all around him. And if you if you read diaries from back then, it's the exact description of what it is. in that scene exactly to a T. - Now, I think I have watched that.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
It's been years though. Like it's the best.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
about, read the in-person accounts of Pickett's charge from the Civil War, and the shit they were shooting at each other in cannons from the shot was really quick Air Warrior.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
2533 on Twitch says you need to look up the kids toys called clackers (laughter) Look, we're not that old but we're that old. No, we are that old. Some of us are that old, though. I just said, we're not that old but we're that old. Click them motherfuckers back in the day, dude or ball with the string. Oh, yeah. You know how many times I hit my teeth with that damn thing? My mom got me one. I remember my mom got me one and I had the one I think it had led in the middle of it. It had the it wasn't plastic on the outside. It was the almost like porcelain. Oh my god that hurt so bad That's a weapon in of itself like you don't need no chain I can make you one of those except instead of plastic I could use like lignin vice I don't know if this is the same, but maybe the only thing that's coming to mind for me is the skippo thing. That thing can be kind of dangerous. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yes. That would fuck you up. The paddle ball back in the day. nothing beats lawn darts. - One person got hurt, wow. Come on. Listen, don't even bring up the BB guns from back then, because I still haven't forgiven my brother for shooting me with one. Okay. Brandy Lou 25 said, Hey. from Cautious.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
My CFO that's Miss Brandy she's my.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
live right now.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
I don't know how because we've already violated community guidelines like four times

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Oh

Speaker 4 (37:27):
with it apparently at times, I don't know. - Well, you are in your Christmas getup.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
I mean, this is a Christmas story, y'all. Pay attention. It's a totally Christmas story. Just, yeah. Everybody.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Christmas story.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Just to wrap up the segment about-- Nobody, anywhere, including... nobody has the legal right to tell you what kind of dog he is. have as a service stock. They can't tell you what your dog is allowed to weigh. They can't tell you what breeds your dog can be, except that they can tell you it cannot be a hybrid, meaning no wolf hybrids, no coyote hybrids, no hyena hybrids. Can have a chupacabra pit bull hybrid? It's illegal. It's against federal law. There is no breed restrictions. AD specifically says there are no breed restrictions. service dogs. You can have an American Pit Bull Terrier. your terrier. You can have a pit bull terrier. You can have a Staffordshire terrier. You can have a con-aid Corso. You can have a Neapolitan Mastiff. You can have an XL bully. We're training There is no breed restriction on service. period. Nobody has a legal ability to take. cannot use that breed period period. That's the law. Why? Why? Here's why. The Americans with Disabilities Act is not a law. about service dogs. The Americans with Disabilities Act is a civil... rights law. the right of disabled people to equal access, regardless of the use of the word. of whatever they need to use. End of discussion. So, if you want to treat a disabled person as if they are less than, go ahead and tell them they can't use that pitbull as a service dog. You ablest son of a bitch. End of story. There is no discussion. That's all.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
because it's a question JJ and okay it pisses you off.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
$50,000 to train a service. Wait a minute. Wait. It's about $50,000 for you to kiss my ass.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
So there's an organization that will not be named at this moment because there you go. But I love throwing people under the bus. But they are saying that it costs $50,000 from breeding to fully trained to quote unquote adopt a fully trained service dog. And I sent this to JJ the it's been about a month. And I said, "Have you heard of this place?" Oh, yeah, because I it was early morning and I was like, well check this out and They are taking donations for $50,000 because they just passed a What was the coin what was the coin?

Speaker 5 (41:02):
of coin being minted by the by the United States Treasury. this coin. Now, so the law recognizes the importance of... working military work working dogs and service dogs, which is wonderful. and there's a commemorative coin. Cool. government is minting and selling these coins. And all of the proceeds by-- going to America's vet dogs. One organization. Which basically, because it is now federal law, means that American's vet dogs are federally legitimized. problem. There's one law that makes it a legitimate service dog and who trains it has nothing to do with it. It's the- requirement is for a service dog. legitimate. Its handler is disabled. By law. It doesn't matter how well trained If the person holding the leash is disabled, it's not a service dog. It's a really well-trained dog. But if you're not disabled, It's not a service dog and you don't have...

Speaker 4 (42:17):
any right to take it anywhere.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
This is a brand new car, possibly maybe a little bit of an older model, you know, grandma's getting a brand new set of pans possibly and I don't know, the dog.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
to the world. profit. They actually take dogs.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
they train them, they help you train your own animal within your own house.

Speaker 5 (43:16):
them certified and everything too, for free. No, they don't. There's no-- No they don't? Tadsaw does certify that they provide training to the dog. OK. But that certification doesn't mean anything. It's just Tadsaw saying, we did our job. It's not legally required. It is not recognized by law. You do not need a certification for a service dog. Again, the number one requirement. Here, I'll tell you exactly what it, by law, what a service dog is. the person holding the leash, the handler of the dog has to be disabled. If the, if the handler is not disabled, it doesn't matter how well trained the dog is, it is not a service dog. Second, the dog has to be trained to do work or perform tasks that assist the handler with a disability. That could be as simple as the dog's disability. leads the person out of a store. can never remember where their car is. That's a legitimate... trained task. The dog has been trained to do that task to assist the person with their disability because they can't remember because of PTSD. It's one of the tasks I trained my dog to do. You're only required to train The third requirement is that the dog is under the handler's control at all times. And if the dog is not under the handler's control, the handler takes immediate effective action to regain control of the dog. Meaning that the law recognizes that dogs are dogs and shit happens, and that it's up to the person holding the leash to make sure that if shit's happening, they get it under control or remove their animal. This is a law guaranteeing the equal access of disabled people. It's not a law about dogs, it's a law about disabled people. And the final and the final rule, the final requirement for a dog to be a service dog is that it is thoroughly housebroken. Again, that doesn't mean that shit doesn't happen. had a bad steve had a Rough time. He had diarrhea. I didn't realize he had diarrhea. I wasn't paying attention to him. He had an accident in the store as an ethical responsible. removed him immediately put him in my truck came back in, apologized and cleaned up the mess. It's not about the dog being like a robot. It's about the person being responsible and handling their dog. Because the dog assists them with their disability. And as long as they fulfill those requirements, nobody can tell you you cannot bring that here because they also cannot tell you. You can't use that wheelchair, you can't have that oxygen tank, you can't wear those hearing aids. They can't tell you that. That's illegal. That's discrimination. The dog under the law is medical equipment. Yeah. So to go back to the breakdown that they give on their website for this $50,000 for one

Speaker 4 (46:44):
located in New York. And $500. covers student travel expenses, meaning you are the... days, JJ, to train your service dog.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
something like that. Well, so what they do is they, they bust you fly you or whatever you in. Yep. How's you for a couple of days, introduce you to a dog they have trained. Give you a. of how to handle your dog. Yeah, tell you and give you a certificate that means absolutely nothing under the law until you just wave this under somebody's face. They give you a hard time, which is absolute bullshit, but perpetuates the myth that you have to have certification for a service dog. Um, and send you on your... way with no knowledge, no skills and no understanding of things like the fact that a dog is a living animal and that training never ends. But you know what matters is the ability to train your dog throughout its life because every time you take your dog out, it's a training opportunity period.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
though.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
They have the DEI hires. That's all that matters. As long as they have accessibility DEI hires, that matters.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
AI gets you a long way in life, apparently in 2024. That's sarcasm by the way, folks.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
Please take that as sarcasm. - Nope, I didn't take it as sarcasm at all. I don't know what you got there. - DEI to me is like the no child left behind act. It's absolutely fucking pointless, useless, hurts everything that it comes into contact with. - Oh, come on.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Absolutely. 100% It does. It really does. It's one of the worst things ever. But yeah, that's what they're doing with the $50,000. Not only that, but what they did now, listen, there's a history of this. This started, well, it started a long time ago, but the PAWS Act, the PAWS Act set a precedence that a service dog costs $25,000. That was price fixing. what you and I have warned people. every iteration of the Paws Act. It was a grab for money. It gave 10 million dollars to member organizations of the Association of Service Dog. providers for military veterans. Do you know how many? out of the Paws Act? Less than... than 20. And just to put that into perspective. Talking to a veteran who's in Colorado Springs, with the Colorado Springs VA is one of the Pawzacks locations, there's no money. through the PAWS Act. Because it price fixed, because it was a grab for money, and what it didn't do was what was necessary. What the PAWS Act should have said is the Department of Veterans Affairs will not interfere. to assist with their disability, period. - Just to put into perspective.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
Right, JJ? This was passed back in August. Yeah. And how many has Yeager done since they've been? And this is a nonprofit that gets no funding. We're at...

Speaker 3 (50:34):
[BLANK_AUDIO]

Speaker 5 (50:38):
We're in our 40s or 50s. Yeah with no funding. You've got like 15 veterans actively. We modeled by the way after. for watching. Hang on, let me find it again. John Price said, "You know, I wish..." I wish I could get a good service dog for my CPTS. issues. But because I'm not a vet, I don't qualify. Contact TadSaw.org. Treated Dogs Save the Civilian is their civilian assistance program. Yep. TadSaw does that, hon. TadSaw does do that. And they offer, and I will vouch for them, they offered my daughter, who's autistic, which is a qualification for getting a service animal, by the way, if you want to get one, you can get one, right?

Speaker 3 (51:43):
autistic or anything like that.

Speaker 5 (51:46):
If you're disabled.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
- Help you. - That type of disability that can use a service call. - Right. They offer to help us.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
our dog that we currently have to be a service dog, but unfortunately she's too old to be retrained.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
Right. So we're just kind of...

Speaker 1 (52:06):
We're waiting for the right opportunity to get a new dog. Brittany right now to train as a service animal, but also obviously my husband being military and everything loves to go hunting and stuff. So it'll be a great hunting dog as well. But in housing, you know, military dogs are great. They're good to go. They're good to go. They're

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Housing is wonderful.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
They tell you you can only have two animals.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
Even though technically we--

Speaker 4 (52:35):
I don't know. - I gotta edit this. - Military, military.

Speaker 5 (52:39):
is a unique situation. - Yeah. - And the reason for that is- and guess who's exempt? from the Americans with Disabilities. federal facilities. It's up to you. will comply with the ADA. However, BART has memorandums of agreement. agreements with multiple bases under Tadsaw and he will help you work through that. I was about to say, get up with him and go to the next part. Bart will help you.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
And it's...

Speaker 5 (53:17):
Memorandum

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Mini cow 10 chickens and hot.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
So, this is--

Speaker 4 (53:32):
across the board on a Cause it's especially with this last generation coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan, right? Like that. I don't know how to, how to say it. Help me out, JJ, they're more.

Speaker 5 (53:53):
than any generation. However, they're also with all this new fucking technology that we've got at our fucking fingertips, it seems to be a little more held back in terms of accessibility rights. Did I word that right? service dogs in its name. rights law about equal access, about the protection of the rights of people.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
the right of disabled people to have equal access. And a bigger misnomer out there because we've been taught this even in elementary school and we've all watched the videos and we had the day where they came to your school or whatever. Service dogs are for blind people. That's it. That's all we know about service dogs.

Speaker 5 (54:48):
That's where I absolutely adore Bart Sherwood of- What Bart recognized is that the first service dogs in the United States were seeing eye dogs. Absolutely. That's where... started was seeing iDogs for veterans who were blinded by mustard gas after World War One. And one of the things they brought back with them was that the Germans were using German shepherds to lead their. front lines around so that they could still function. And they brought that back with them. several US military veterans brought back German train seeing dogs and that's how service dog started to start in the United States. Remember the ADA was passed until 1990. What. In the 1920s until 1990, seeing iDogs were the only recognized service dogs for the most part in the United States. Now somewhere in the mid-1980s. early to mid-80s, people started recognizing that, wait, you can trade. lot of other things. And by the time they wrote the ADA, they recognized that you could train a dog to assist with multiple disabilities and that it would be discriminatory to only permit dogs for blind people. So they encoded the service dog, and they were able to do that. changed the language, they took away "seeing eye dog" and made "service dog," which is all encompassing. So I can be a seeing eye dog. dog. It can be a seizure alert dog. It can be a psychiatric service dog. That is not an emotional support animal because it has training and emotional support animal does not have training. Okay. As emotional support animal comforts the. handler simply by their existence. I have my dog. I feel good. I have an emotional support lizard. Does that count? Yeah, that's an emotional support animal. It's 100% legitimate. So really, I do you want me to go get him? I don't get sure. Get him. But that's legitimate. If it helps you,

Speaker 4 (57:04):
of Sport Animal. Um, when you brought it German shepherd, I was going to. this, but she has a Chihuahua German Shepherd ESA. And I was about to say, wonder if they had a German Shepherd Chihuahua when they came back from the war. Probably not then, but I'm not surprised now. Betsy was a little peindro, he was motivated. I've got to get you and Betsy linked up, Kashi. She would love that. She does reptiles now. She sells.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
and stuff like that. - Look at how cute he is. Okay, so technically he doesn't know what he is because for the first three years of his life. We thought he was a he and apparently I found out how to actually tell the gender and apparently it's a she But she's confused. So we're just her name is like Captain Jack Sparrow.

Speaker 4 (57:58):
But Jackie, Jackie, but Jackie, Jackie. because I call her Mr. Lizard all the time. So I don't know. Well, you know, Nevermore and JJ told me this was a girl bird, but I'm pretty sure it's a boy because it hasn't laid any.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
at it at all, and even in heat. So I'm pretty sure it's not been in heat on that method. So, so anyway, the thing that Bart realized, and I have to commend him for, um, before he started, Ted saw Bart was a member of a nonprofit organization called pennies from heaven. and there's nothing there. They are not illegitimate in any way, shape or form, but there's no law that protects their use. that clear. But what Bart under-- When you train a seeing dog there's a very strict very specific very regimented training method and essentially the dog is trained to be as robotic as possible you literally could replace a seeing dog with a robot. It is in fact has been done. it interacts with people. And Bard understood and realized and recognized that that inner was healing and he thought, well, what if we apply the way you train a therapy dog to access all of these people? And what if you applied that and train them to do that with one person who has one veteran who has PTSD? And so instead of training a robot that just does what it's He trained interactive dogs who build a bond with their handler, and through that bond, enable their handler to interact with the world around them, get out of the house, go, do things, and be people. because they have the support and assistance of their dog. change the embarked it. both caught on and followed, but I give all the credit to Bart Sherwood of Tadsaw. He saw the potential, applied it to veterans, and came up with train a dog, save a warrior. And this is in my book, by the way. I talked to Bart. I had a Barton. We talked today. And this is in my book. How he... from a seeing eye dog to an interactive dog that functions more like a therapy dog, but And that effect of the interaction and the bond you create. is what provides the healing, empowerment, and growth in the disabled veteran. and even more so. The model that Tad Saw uses and that Jaeger is emulating is when you empower the veteran by teaching them to train their service dog, personally trained service dog. train service dog. We stole PTSD. We broke it. Participant service dog is what PTSD. or personally trained service dog. Which by the way, the ADA protects your right to train your own service dog. You do not have to use an organization. No money has to change hands. Nobody has to get paid. And then he said, "Veterans shouldn't have to pay to learn how to train their own service dogs." And that's how Tad Salt was born. And that's where I have to... where I have shoved K9 Jaeger into, following the same mold. is we provide the finances to get you, your dog, and to training where the trainers teach you to train your dog. It is cooperative training. You learn how to train your dog because guess rents to the day. Skeeter said goodbye. He was being trained day in and day out for 13 years. every time you take your dog out, you're training your dog. You know how I got to the point where I could go to Walmart and go grocery shopping? grocery shopping. I went groceries while I was there. And it changed my perspective and empowered me to be able to handle and I can walk through Walmart because I still have to work.

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
going there to shop and started going there to train my dog. Bart Sherwood created that. Maybe that'll get me my ass in gear on finishing those books. It's not about getting the story out there. It's about making money. And in the long term of making money, I'll write a story.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
Somebody mentioned on my side by the way it's not just about dogs. He's a wounded veteran and he has

Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
emotional support cats as well. And I'll add on that as well too. Emotional support animals are legitimate and they do help you however no law, well the Fair Housing Act defines an emotional support animal and protects ... Yeah. That's the only law that has anything to do with emotional support. in your housing. Yeah, doesn't illegitimize them. I'm not illegitimized. I'm not. I'm just wish you more. But I love that he brought it up too because cats do come. - Absolutely, my mastiff, my English... Mastiff was going to be my service dog. down when I started exposure training we got locked down for COVID. Mastiffs are naturally and we call her scary Larry, they're naturally stranger danger. And because we were unable to train through that when she was young because of COVID lockdowns, she is not able to be a service dog. because she's afraid of her own shadow. So she is absolutely 100% an emotional support animal. She helps me immensely at home. take her anywhere, but where she's allowed to be. Because she's not able to perform tasks at a place like Walmart because of the to not be reactive to the surrounding. - Well, I'll be honest with you, if I took Jack Jack with me to Walmart, I think he'd freak out too. So especially during that time phase. Have you seen Walmart since it's like a few days since Chris, like till Chris, have you seen Walmart? - I've not seen Walmart since 2009. - I'll tell you my service dog here who's gone, my Alaskan Malibu, man, he was a, he was an ace. Chris Black Friday and people they would part like the Red Sea because I was carrying the wolf. to ask a Malibu, but people thought. ignorance and...

Speaker 4 (01:05:50):
I would have totally run that too. Yeah, it's totally a wolf.

Speaker 5 (01:05:54):
way. Yeah. Get the fuck out of my way so he doesn't. - Bitch.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
You know, I'd never thought of it until just now, but we should have got a patch made that says I'm a wolf. W O O F. Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:06:14):
mean, and again, you know, Bart redefine and see there's a hall with the VA and politics. The reason that the primary reason I post actually, well, the PAWS Act was just a ridiculous piece of bullshit legislation, and it's proving itself to be so, which I warned people from the beginning. But I actually talked to Jeremiah Blocker, who at the time was the CEO of the Association of Service Stock Providers for Military Veterans. We had a two hour long conversation and I watched it. conversation with a natural taste in my mouth. That motherfucker told me that his intent with the Paws Act was to change the ADA and make the American providers for military or the Association of Service Dog Providers for Military Veterans, the sole legitimate source of service. United States. So, completely undermining the whole point of the of the service dog segment of the ADA, which is again, will have equal access. And he wanted to... flip that on its head and say no, you can only be equal if you get your dog from us. No, absolutely not. And he wanted to undermine the ADA for the sole purpose of the idea. And I consider that person. to be scum. - Grab the pitchforks and torches, ladies and gentlemen. - Hells yeah! school American, we're gonna ride him out of town on a rail. We're gonna. There we go. That's. We're going to take it old school. And by the way, put the gallows back on the steps of the Capitol. I mean, hey, I'm all for it. I actually got pissed off this morning. Somebody else said, "Tar and feather them." That's the better way to go. You coat them in tar, put feathers on them, and strap them to a fucking rig. carry them out of town. If they survive, they can come back. That's how that worked. If to you and give you a second chance.

Speaker 4 (01:08:40):
Talking about the death penalty I seen this morning. on his Twitter. Um, Bishop Paul S. Cockly. - Um. put out a tweet about. of Kevin Ray Underwood. In 2006. decided to... Suffocate and knockout and very inhuman things to a 10 year old girl and her name was Jamie Bull in. And I got pissed off this morning. If I said, the saddest part of this is that James-- to see your 28th birthday, she'll never get to drive the vehicle, she'll never get to enjoy the wonders of the world and life itself. And the reason I said this is because Mr. Archbishop decided to say that prayer rituals were being held for Kevin Ray Underwood. It's sad that he was put to death. And it was a planned execution. And I went on to say the only vigils that should have taken place should have been for her. Not the absolute grotesque monster that got less than what he deserved for killing and worse and as a child. own pleasure. He admitted he admitted. That's where is it say it at? He said his original plan was to cut off his victims head and set it on his death. So it could like watch me he said he wanted to keep the corpse in his bed sleeping with it having and you know with it. cooking it. s, Coakley, Coakley, Dickbag. is over here And I say the death penalty is the worst. ever. I'm here to tell you. If I found out you do that to any child and you're not a child, I would be proud of you. You're not making it to a fucking jury. It's this not happening. I don't give a fuck what happens to me It I I I don't care But the fact that an archbishop

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
Catholic, it is in our doctrine that any life taken is not, it's not supposed to be done by another.

Speaker 5 (01:11:33):
human. Yeah. So I'm not defending him by the way in any way, shape or form. Please don't get them. No. But in

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
doctrine, it does say that we are not supposed to take any...

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
from consumption all the way up into old age. - Yeah. needs to be done. a lot of things and I could go into depth with this. Yeah. I'm going to your kid, but there's a lot of, I grew up. Catholic. I'm still Catholic, but I'm very open-minded with other religions. I would be stoned. I don't believe that I'm going to be able to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:16):
that for me personally,

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Like the day. overused. In some cases, absolutely, yes, it does need to be there, but I do think that it is overused at some points in time. because I believe in second chances. But that's just me personally. We all are allowed to have different opinions about this type of thing. I also don't believe in birth control. And I don't, obviously, 'cause we have four kids. (laughing) - Right, right. - But I also don't believe in birth control.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
believe that it's not my right to sit there and enforce that on somebody else either. That's my opinion, that's my personal belief and that's my personal opinion.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
Not anybody else's I'm not gonna shove it down your throat because that's what I believe, you know and I actually agree with you as far as it has been and It's calm down over the past what two and a half decades. It has been overused I will admit that there are some instances where I'm like that got the death penalty, but this didn't really I mean, there's been some faces I'm like, now I got fucking hot over. We'll have to move on from this here in a minute because I'm sorry. I didn't know you're good. Good i'm glad you did that because it's something that i think does need to be talked about because It's one of those things that's like suicide right with the 22 a day it gets shoved under the rug let's not talk about it But let's talk about it let's pussyfoot around it But let's not help each other but let's help each other like Fuck me and the ass running backwards with a duck and a truck on a buck

Speaker 5 (01:13:59):
- Fuck, really?

Speaker 4 (01:14:01):
Like, you can't have your cake and eat it too, people. I'm sorry. You just can't. You can't. Unless that bitch is a cupcake. Depending on where the fuck you got it because those open mass are like the size of a motherfucking, Volkswagen Um I got really too- because I've been up I told Kaji I've been up since 3 30 this morning. shit. I was like, oh fuck no. Oh fuck no. And I don't do religion, but I do respect everybody's views and. that is you, right? right there. I was like, Whoa, whoa, I understand. You don't want the death pill. However, the way this tweet read, I was just. it really... with me and I just I couldn't let it go. So, of course, I'll put it. I'll put it how you actually want to put it. And this does have like flicked in my head real quick. Um, and I know that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
This is a political view, but let's take abortion for instance. In some cases it is necessary, medically it is necessary, but the Catholic church is still against it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:17):
[BLANK_AUDIO]

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Me personally, I do believe.

Speaker 5 (01:15:22):
medically it should be used in certain medical cases. However, again, it is overused as a birth control method instead. Yeah. And you know, it robs father.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
of being able to be an actual father and in that being able to actually be a family granted I know that it is I mean and I'm sorry TikTok I'm gonna I'm sorry I know we don't say this.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
This is my view on this. It is overused. It is totally overused as the birth control method. However, that doesn't mean that...

Speaker 5 (01:15:56):
not against women's rights in any way shape or form. We should stand up for that in every way possible but also at the same time like with the death penalty it should not be overused in any way shape or form. Should it be used in some cases like this case? Absolutely 100%. But you know we

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
either as like a

Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
Okay, well this guy stole so let's kill him. You know. So yeah, you're you're exactly right. No, you're exactly right I we've had that conversation means of friends before it's went on to the do the people that's doing this control actually know what it's doing to their fucking bodies. That's not political. That's just helpful.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
I'm o- I can do that, okay? We've been live since 3 Eastern. Come on, Oi. Come on, Oi. But we have been lost since seven. Sergeant Wordog. Well, you can speak up Sergeant Wordog. I'm sorry. Roger that. He said, "Okay, Alaska time." (Laughter) much. No, I don't. - Oh no, you mean everything I've said since seven? - Yeah. - Such thing as sleep. - Yeah, it's live. You don't remember the thing that I put in. at seven and going until nine? well I don't read on Saturdays man. You got thumbs up and didn't read it.

Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
I'm illiterate on Saturdays, man.

Speaker 4 (01:17:54):
I've got to remember that for the next time I say we need. to all this shit next time. Now that we know you don't read. No, no, you know, I did. I let you know. I was going to be here today, but I really didn't know about. You're good, brother. That's great! Did you feel any better? I had a hard time getting in here too, but that was because I'm computer illiterate. I was literally on the phone during the intro with her. And then he turned on my camera and everything too. I'm like OK.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
was cruising Facebook. before we started helping somebody on the PTS doc page. And... (audio cuts out) that page I'm a member of multiple veterans. And I saw no less than four posts of the book.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
[END]

Speaker 5 (01:19:04):
I believe if barf licks it's us. very, very difficult, especially if you spent holiday times on what those deployments were and what time and service. Sometimes the holidays are the absolute worst times. in January are my low point, my anniversaries of trauma. Y'all. Talk to somebody, talk to a friend. the suicide hop. Use Objective Zero. Don't. Thank you. The holidays are And again, I saw no less than four posts of suicidal ideation. The holidays suck. Don't let that overpower you. You guys reach out. Talk to somebody. Touch bases with a buddy. Call the hotline. Hit up objective. but please don't become a statistic. - Yep, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:20:24):
Every show we talk about it at least once every show, if not.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
and somewhere in the middle, somewhere near the end. Go ahead. - Fellows, we actually have a veteran in my life currently right now. His name is Kevin. And he did say that he needed help. And Kevin, currently right now, because I'm on TikTok, the only thing I can do is revert you. Hi sweetheart. I see you, I see you, darling. The only thing I can say is you are not alone. Please, like they're saying, reach out, reach out to somebody around you.

Speaker 5 (01:21:05):
message any of my mods that are in this live currently right now. Mod check, please. Mod check. Everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:21:14):
a message please in the chat, reach out to any of my mods right there please and thank you and you can talk to them at any point in time. We are not professionals though. Please do not think that in any way shape or form, we are not therapists, we are not counselors or anything, but we can be an ear for you. Okay, so if you need to talk to somebody please reach out to one of my mods Facebook. And 99% of these places, you can be anonymous, you don't have to say your name, stuff like that. Objective zero is the absolute best in our opinions, obviously, because we've known them since before their inception, we actually helped them raise the funds back when we had the big DVD page, and we've worked with them ever since you can be completely anonymous, you can chat, you can call, you can text, you can choose your what are they called now oink? whether it's MOS branch of service, whatever you need. And obviously Oink will reiterate that later on in the show. But those are our top ones to go to at any time. We don't have the big page anymore, so we can't do that moderation anymore. And that's why we don't do it because we don't have the hands to do that anymore. But just reach out Objective0, 988, then press one, and battle in distress over on Facebook. just the holidays it's the time of the year it's the fucking season dude I I'm not depressed but I have felt depressed all fucking month I don't have any motivation I don't want to do shit today was winter solstice it was the shortest day there was not a lot of sunlight and oink up in Alaska what'd you get like three hours I was about to say how many? I know it sounds crazy, but we gained one second today. God damn moving on up in the... of the universe. That's right. It's all downhill from here. Also, Kashi missed this, but I did get a screenshot from somebody earlier on your ClickCock. It's hoped for 22 a day. their own ClickCock if you want to follow Kashi. John Price said, please thank the guys they have helped save my future. Um, I don't want to say you're welcome because it's our therapy just as much as it is your guys's this. Getting a lot of amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
back over here on TikTok just so you guys can see.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
know. And again, this is the DV radio show dvradio.net is where you can go and listen into all of their radio podcasts and everything. Sorry, promise we will avenge you.

Speaker 4 (01:24:42):
It's not tick tock appropriate, but just listen to what I called Kashi. I've done the Jerry Seinfeld. Hello. I went, hello. If you don't know that up? You need to go watch it. It's belly talking. - It's not the Master of Your Own Domain episode, is it? - No, no, no, no, no. It's when Jerry has that girlfriend who's got that belly button that looks weird, and him and George are always going, I make little voices for it, like, "Hello!"

Speaker 5 (01:25:12):
[laughter] go for a year deployment. We see you, honey. Thank you. his service and thank you for your sacrifice, sweetheart. Another thing I want to add in there too, and I'm glad she brought this up, please don't forget the families either during

Speaker 1 (01:25:33):
I know a lot of the times it does fall on the veteran. But the fact that they're not in the veteran is not a big thing. effort just as much to this time last year my husband was gone during the holiday season and I went through one of my biggest depressions that I have ever gone through.

Speaker 3 (01:25:50):
I went through a lot of suicidal ideations myself and a lot of the times people don't understand that it is a lot of stress on us military spouses while he is away, especially while raising a family and not only that, but there's things that go on behind the scenes while he's away. we didn't talk about. And that part is what gets to us the most. This is one thing that I tell everybody all the time. Yes, there are, there's more than 22 a day. There's like 48. Okay. And the number keeps climbing for some reason. And we can't lessen it, unfortunately, until we actually sit here and broadcast and talk about it. And we sit here and we listen to those who are actually in need. and we bring them to the right resources that they need at that point in time.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
So 48 a day is the actual number, unfortunately, at this point in time. But how many?

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
I think it's bigger than that. Oh, yeah, I'm sure it's bigger than that. Absolutely. There like there's no way that it's just 48. There's no way I don't want to stop you, Kashi.

Speaker 4 (01:26:55):
want to say for those that aren't veterans or first responders or anything like that, and you're looking for a resource, 9-8-8 is also a resource for everybody. Just dial 9-8-8. That's what people are typing in the chat currently.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
to 988. It's this resource for anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
you do not have to be a veteran in a.

Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
to call that if you are hurting, if you are in a low place right now, that is the best place that you can be right now is to call 988. >> Check your local 211 numbers because up here in Alaska, 211, if you dial it, it connects you to local resources to help you with like housing expenses, paying your bills, utilities, But it's also another resource out there. It could help in your local area if it is available, but always check into that as well.

Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
for 22 a day and help us.

Speaker 4 (01:27:58):
I was going to get with Jared and I keep.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
would love to re-update it. whatever resources you think need.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
there that'd be great. But so obviously it's more than 48 a day.

Speaker 4 (01:28:14):
But the one thing that I like to bring up is the fact that you can also use the word "the" in the word "file" in your script.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
into awareness of--

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
military spouses, do you know?

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
that take their lives on a daily basis.

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
I'll let you think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
[BLANK_AUDIO]

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
- Right.

Speaker 4 (01:28:33):
because it's not...

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
There's 11.

Speaker 5 (01:28:38):
And that's probably more than that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
and why I am a voice about this.

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
friend who was part of that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
very close friend.

Speaker 4 (01:28:50):
a neighbor of mine, before we had our first meeting.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
And I used to babysit for her.

Speaker 4 (01:28:57):
And then after we had our first son, I got a call from her dad.

Speaker 5 (01:29:02):
She was five years old, using her mom's phone. And she told me, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
like a bunch of pills. And I sat on the.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
at the house. So it's more than 11.

Speaker 4 (01:29:18):
But how many kids? Nobody thinks about that either. How many kids under the age of eight?

Speaker 5 (01:29:26):
and take their lives because of secondary --

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
or because...

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
through as a military child. My daughter is a military officer. She is a military officer.

Speaker 3 (01:29:35):
right now is at her friend's house saying goodbye to her because of PCS season, and she's going all the way over to God

Speaker 5 (01:29:45):
How many times have my kids had to say goodbye to their best friends?

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
and then they have to move over to Japan or Germany or Hawaii or Alaska.

Speaker 5 (01:30:03):
time.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
Let us know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
That's just that. That's not including the stress of PC-hussing.

Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
deployments with the kids either. I can't even begin to get into that whenever it comes to watching my kids.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
through deployments.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
do you think take their lives? of being a military brat.

Speaker 5 (01:30:33):
eight.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
How many parents?

Speaker 5 (01:30:45):
There's nine.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
You add all those numbers together, that's the real number that we're fighting against. It's not 48.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
You add every single one of those numbers to it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
and that is the real number that we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:31:02):
the veterans, it's the families too. Everybody wants to pay attention to the Gold Star family.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
But nobody wants to pay attention.

Speaker 4 (01:31:12):
to the blue stars.

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
I'm sorry, I went on a soapbox. - No, you're good. (laughing)

Speaker 4 (01:31:22):
the only thing I'll add to that. Damn, it's been a while. I don't even know the exact year. We were talking about numbers and statistics. It was basically a business seminar thing that I had to go to. Statistics are things that people report. They are things that are turned in, whether it's mandatory times out of 10. I'm not saying it's exactly. It's not a foolproof fucking outlook. Don't quote me on that. But I've learned over the years, with that one thing that I've actually learned in that stupid fucking seminar, which was basically Death by Powerpoint. It's really close. He was actually pretty close on that. he'd been doing shit since he was. or some shit like that. This dude was like in his 70s at the time. Dude's probably dead now. I don't even remember his name. I just remember he was so.

Speaker 5 (01:33:35):
You're like mountain man from Duck Nine and say.

Speaker 4 (01:33:38):
♪ Well, if you take ♪ statistical reported number. Just reach out, it doesn't matter who you are. You don't have to be a veteran. Don't have to be a first responder. Hell, go on it. Look, it's 2020. for watching. Get into a chat room for 30 minutes. Talk to a stranger. Don't give them your information, obviously, but just open up. It doesn't have to be about the- It's a therapy. That's all it is. It's a thing. sitting on a fucking chair. Just talk to somebody. It's all. to do, alright? Somebody will listen. Whether they actually give a shit or not, somebody will listen. That's all you need. Let's switch gears for a second and go from that to... ready for Santa to break into their house on Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (01:34:57):
So break into my house. You're you're leaving feet first.

Speaker 4 (01:35:04):
So how excited are you? and the kids there, Kachi. - Okay, so hang on.

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
I do have some questions coming through because I brought up gold star and blue stars. For those of you who don't know a gold star... family member is somebody of a killed family member. or somebody who died within serving of the military, okay? Within service of the military.

Speaker 1 (01:35:31):
A lot of the times that does not include a 22 a day, especially if they are out of service, unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
Even though that should be counted. Most of the time it does count, but sometimes it doesn't. A Blue Star family is those of us, the family members that have been within the

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
military family member who has deployed to a combat area, which means that they're not just a combat soldier, they are a military service member who is deployed to a combat zone.

Speaker 1 (01:36:06):
So, technically, me and my family are a blue star service member. There's also a white star. which is a specifically. for the 22 a day. That one is actually for the 22 a day, the White Star family members or as

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
I can't remember. I'm pretty sure it's White Star. members. That one is specifically for the 22 a day, the family members that have lost family members for the 22 a day that are either currently serving or out of service.

Speaker 1 (01:36:42):
other stars as well. I implore you to go look at the stars.

Speaker 3 (01:36:45):
Educate yourself, please, and thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:36:49):
I hope that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:51):
your question a little bit. And no, I'm not being.

Speaker 3 (01:36:55):
I'm trying to bring awareness... will be returned safely right

Speaker 5 (01:37:03):
too. Okay. So don't think of this

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
even though I know you cute with...

Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
they're like making fun of me for that. This is awareness.

Speaker 5 (01:37:14):
needs to be talked about. Sorry. - Drama, shit. - I am drama.

Speaker 4 (01:37:23):
(laughter) - Shit girl. But how excited are you and the kids for Christmas? - We are, well actually, technically, so I rock.

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
We already celebrating Christmas!

Speaker 4 (01:37:37):
(laughing) We're gonna show our nerd just a little bit here. Go for it, be nerdy.

Speaker 5 (01:37:45):
There was an anime con. Okay. Last weekend, which is I'm sick by the way and that's why I sound like a grandma who smokes 40 pack a week. But we took we told our kids, hey, this year for Halloween, what do you guys want to do? And they're like, we want to do anime. And I was like, OK, cool. That's really expensive.

Speaker 4 (01:38:12):
and shit. And so I was like, you know what? Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:19):
Demon Slayer, full family, okay? Since there is an anime con near us, we're just going to reuse the same costumes and use this as Christmas too, okay? So here's the thing, kids. You guys each get $300 to either go up to your favorite character at the anime con and get their little signature and pictures or whatever, or you can utilize that to get something cool here. End of story. So what we did last weekend was we loaded up the children's, all four of them. And that's a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (01:38:57):
I should wonder. Packed them all up, got them in there, got the costumes all in there with the swords and everything, and we took them to this anime con. We got a hotel and we bought the weekend ticket for everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
and all that jazz, so it was absolutely amazing. I personally highly suggest for all you moms out there by the way, yes, Christmas gifts are nice underneath the Christmas tree, and well they're little.

Speaker 1 (01:39:27):
helps.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
like that but the old the harder it is for us to get them Christmas gifts, right?

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
So I love every once in a while, like every couple of years or so, we do an event instead of getting a whole bunch of stuff underneath the Christmas tree.

Speaker 1 (01:39:44):
that we did this year. They're still gonna get a little something on Christmas obviously, but not much. Not the usual. But they are

Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
know what to expect because we explained it to them that you know hey--

Speaker 5 (01:39:57):
We're going to AnimeCon and we're doing the whole-- Okay. Now, my husband. Fantastic, y'all. Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:40:13):
Okay, 'cause he looked absolutely like me. Okay, here we go. He was the last Simara.

Speaker 5 (01:40:25):
I hit him with the silver hair right there. You see that? Oh, he looked so great. He was so happy with me. Let me touch his lips. So cute. Okay, and he hates me whenever I tell him to trust me.

Speaker 4 (01:40:37):
But listen, the kids had a great time and so did I, except for getting sick. I was, I was drugged up on Nike while the whole weekend, but I had a great time. It's all that matters is you were drugged up for the whole weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:40:57):
(laughs) - But we are excited for the holiday.

Speaker 1 (01:41:04):
obviously. I'm Polish. My grandma is from Minnesota. That's where the accent comes in every once in a while.

Speaker 5 (01:41:13):
- Oh. - Don't you know, oh my--

Speaker 4 (01:41:18):
bag in there, okay? Thank you. I gotta say, my mom, my mom does that once in a while. Cause she loved Bobby's world and every time that. Oh, Bobby, don't you know?

Speaker 1 (01:41:34):
So, my grandma's full-blooded Polish, and we make pierogies. I hate kolaches and no, the tech, not the Texas ones. Don't even get me started on the frickin sausage filled ones. Those are pigs in a blanket feathers.

Speaker 5 (01:41:51):
Kalachi. Okay. Thank you. Anyways, I will fight you on that. I will. I don't know if you can tell. I may be five foot four, but I will fight you on that. That is not a Kalachi. Thank you. But we make collage.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
we make you know, kielbasa, the pork sausage.

Speaker 1 (01:42:12):
everything my grandpa used to chase me around. the freaking living room with.

Speaker 4 (01:42:18):
My god.

Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
He also used to make this weird crap.

Speaker 3 (01:42:24):
hedge cheese. I don't know if you guys know what that is.

Speaker 4 (01:42:29):
But I can imagine 'cause my grandma always wanted liver and I fucking hate fucking liver.

Speaker 5 (01:42:36):
Here's the way they make it. They take pigs...

Speaker 1 (01:42:43):
it down with a bunch of other meat basically and then they spread that out.

Speaker 3 (01:42:48):
I think it's good and it's not. It's gross.

Speaker 4 (01:42:53):
So I'm good. I'm up to try a lot of things, but nope, nope. I highly suggested scrape for digestion. I'm I don't need help with digestion. I My guts going, "Hey, we need those nutrients, don't let it go." And I need the opposite of help with that. this. Thanks to Crohn's. Somebody said we need to do a whole entire radio show on just that accent, by the way. I don't know if I could keep it up for an hour. I don't think I can. I don't think I could do that when I was doing the Joker bits that that killed me I'd have to do it in the mornings before I started

Speaker 4 (01:45:09):
- See? Anyways, so we have our marine- or, Navy, this is Navy. - I mean, is it that far away from the Marine?

Speaker 5 (01:45:19):

Anyway, but I've said it and I'll say it again. It's about that one, just that one that listens and gets some help, right? And whether we're highlighting a small business, an organization, a nonprofit, or an individual, or quote unquote, highlighting issues in the veteran community, the spousal community, whatever. It's as therapy to us as it is to them. And without that one listener that keeps listening and obviously is getting something from it. I don't know what the fuck they're getting from it. Because they haven't told me yet. Um, we wouldn't have a reason to do it. And we'd be just as depressed and trying to find out what the fuck our point is in life, just as much as them. Um, so without the listeners, without the supporters, without those that buy merch, and then if you click on the link that you see in the description, you can see the list. DV Radio store. Actually, I got to move you out of the way for a second here, Kashi. Let me... Where is my mid-screen showcase? There it is. Let me hide zoom for a second. So you click on DV radio store. If you click on this graphic right here, which didn't go where I wanted it to, but if you click on this one, it will take you over to our Streamlabs store, where our 10 year anniversary DV radio designs are. And they will be leaving December 31st at midnight. That's the last night that you're going to be able to get them. We've got this Thanksgiving, I think. Um, and I finalized it the first week of December. So it's been up since then. Uh, we've got the Thanksgiving one here, have a dysfunctional Thanksgiving mother clucking, keeping it dysfunctional. Um, but we've been going since 2014. Um, and to celebrate it, we done a design for every month of the year. You've got until December 31st at midnight to, or all of the collection if that's what you want to call it it's not coming back so I guess limited whatever audition I hate that fucking marketing gimmick But yeah, so if you go over there and grab it - I'm gonna continue and pay a few bills here at DV Radio 'cause all of it comes out of our pockets. what little donations and stuff we get. We still have the store up right now. You can go over there. You can search by Sergeant Ward Dog or PTS Dog. at C Ross, your life matters, we have your life matters stuff over there.

but... *clears throat* The three things that I usually say with the sunflower are, one, always look on the bright side of things no matter what you're going through in life. And that is because the sunflower always follows the sun. Two, always give, love, patience, kindness, respect, the shirt off your back, whatever you give, give it with love. And that is because the sunflower constantly gives forth seeds that is nutrition to life.

Speaker 5 (02:06:59):
And three, if you are going to.

Speaker 3 (02:07:03):
Turn towards a friend for good.

Speaker 1 (02:07:05):
And this is the sign language for family, by the way. It means that within the sunflower realm, when it is dark and rainy out, the sunflowers actually turn towards each other. it during those hard times. And with that I hope you guys, again, have a very Merry Christmas.

Speaker 4 (02:10:23):
Don't make me incinerate you on Hale Divers. It's like, um, if you want some coffee, get battleground coffee from you. Bored coffee.com. I almost forgot the fucking website because I'm a dumb ass. (laughs) It's great coffee, it's all natural. - By the way, we have some of that coffee and can I tell you, it is legitimately delicious. And I'm a coffee hound. Okay. I've been drinking coffee since I was 13. Um, girl, listen, I have issues. National geographic card called several times asking for their issues back. And I said, no, okay. I love Linda. Listen, listen.

Speaker 5 (02:11:11):
That coffee. Bye.

Speaker 2 (02:11:13):
even though it exploded. No, seriously, it's still up on our ceiling. It is. best tasting coffee in the whole of the world. entire face of the earth and if you don't have your coffee you need to go get it okay?

Speaker 4 (02:11:28):
I know some well, I know that I sent it to you Kashi, but I want to ask you different from... coffee versus store-bought coffee that you've had in the past.

Speaker 5 (02:11:41):
Now I can't bring in other coffee companies because they've done it

Speaker 2 (02:11:47):
specifically Black Rifle Coffee Company, thank you. Firehouse Coffee Company and Community Coffee Company. Thank you guys very much.

Speaker 5 (02:11:54):
So without that, you know, and Tiki Talk just. Um, that...

Speaker 4 (02:12:02):
So smooth, so smooth, like that's what she said. It's so smooth, okay. Like it's so smooth. - Well, another thing I want to ask you, because I've had people argue this with me, that it doesn't matter what coffee you get, you're going to have it. Did you have a bitter aftertaste? - No, absolutely not. - Okay. - No. That's what I mean whenever I say it's smooth. If I tell you it's smooth, it's smooth, okay. - Look, that don't mean that there ain't no aftertaste. [Laughter] Look, look, look. Fucking John Snodder's White Lightning. Shit, son. I can still breathe fire.

Speaker 2 (02:12:43):
bad aftertaste at all. Actually, it was, it was very, I want to say it was almost floral. For me, at least it was absolutely brilliantly done. I've never tasted a better coffee my whole entire life and I mean that with my whole chest. Okay. Another thing I want to

Speaker 4 (02:13:02):
about them is when you order if it's not... It's the next day they roast it per order and they ship it out as soon as they get finished roasting it And it's the quickest delivered fucking coffee i've ever had

Speaker 2 (02:13:16):
That is the coffee that we are having with our kolaches on Christmas morning.

Speaker 4 (02:13:22):
I don't I don't want to get a fucking message saying I hate you. I have to have you bore for the rest of my life. You're already saying if you need it on a daily basis, I got you. I will give you a daily basis. Frickin message of saying I hate you. So you can get to fricking you better. OK, who is it? J.J. Scav, Dave Libby. I've had so many they're like, I can't believe you got me to. Like, fuck you.

Speaker 5 (02:13:54):
Dude, I used to order. which is posted in Seattle, and two locations only, and is world, I mean, it's fucking-- and you bore blows them away. Like I used to I used to fucking get my shit ships from Seattle.

Speaker 4 (02:14:14):
And it doesn't get much more snooty coffee snuff than that. And you bore a blows that shit away. It's and it's run by Navy veterans. So I've, I've said this before and I absolutely mean it. I've had just about every coffee that you can drink on this face of the planet. You bore is the only one that does not fuck with me with anything medically, functionally, or anything. It's the only coffee I can drink. if I drink it every day. - Is it organic? - I mean, what is organic? - I don't know. It's roasted to order. It comes straight from the source. What you get is what you get. Basically what they're saying is it's not factory made. Okay?

Speaker 5 (02:15:00):
freakin' Folgers, all right? that you Bora does that almost no other coffee companies do here we go they do not strip the outer shell from the bean yep you get it with you you get if you grind your own beans you'll notice that there's this kind of a flaky something. coating of the coffee most companies use camera. that off the beads. difference. If you over grind it, it'll be a little dusty powder. Yeah, that's the difference. They don't do that. They don't remove that. They don't put chemicals in the beans. They don't use chemical processes. It's the all look so much difference. It's literally like you took the coffee, put it

Speaker 4 (02:15:49):
Look, it's what it's what the all natural coke should have been. flick your beans though.
