Speaker 7 (06:25):
very, very important. Yes, it is.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Don't touch my boots!

Speaker 8 (06:34):
yes it is it's a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day for those that don't know I didn't post anything today because I had a shut night I had a shut morning and I got on my six o'clock. But no Absolutely. Absolutely. day so what does anybody want to what JJ said anybody got anything to say?

Speaker 7 (07:09):
I've been there. I had an Arabic translation conference out in Hawaii for about a week. And so I went out to Pearl Harbor and you can still see the drops of oil that rise up from the ship below.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
You know, it just, I don't know, it just did something to me to actually be there and to see the names of the sailors, the marines,

Speaker 7 (07:36):
their lives. Absolutely agree. There are very, very good

Speaker 5 (07:42):
places that I've ever

Speaker 8 (07:43):
that felt sacred. But the Arizona Memorial is absolutely

Speaker 11 (07:49):
of the most sacred places I've ever seen. Yeah. It is, all It is unreal.

Speaker 8 (08:02):
I have not been able to have that pleasure of going to Pearl Harbor, but I have been able, especially around North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia been able to, to, to go to some landmarks that were the and before the civil war and stuff and i can't imagine the feeling that it is a pearl harbor if but Mike, Tyler, anything? Yeah, I've been there too. Actually, I've been there a couple of

Speaker 6 (08:33):
I started working at the airport for TSA. I was a contract. I would train Marines and I got to Cape it and I was always on the list of things to do because even going It never got old. And I mean, it is, there's just this like, Like I'm just talking about it. My hair is starting to stand up. I think like, you know, they tell you to be respectful and, you know, They kind of give some ground rules, but it's just this unwritten rule that like, you know, nobody was out there being disrespectful, yelling, pages like, you know, like, hey, like, people died here. For me, what's super crazy is, like, it's not... I mean, I don't know how deep the... channel is, you know, like 20 feet, 30 feet, 50, I don't know, but being able to see parts of the and writes that are under the water knowing that like half that boat or i don't know the exact figure but you know all the sailors that are on the on the That's their grave. I think for me

Speaker 8 (09:27):
was kind of like man, this I don't know. - One thing I, I don't regret much in life but I actually had the opportunity to purchase the chow hall menu. that day when Pearl Harbor got hit. The only reason I didn't purchase the gun figures?

Speaker 11 (09:52):
I don't that's the only fucking reason i didn't i don't know if that counts if it was that high up

Speaker 8 (10:02):
that expensive I don't know that counts as a regret you know well there's very few that are around today of that day because it was a different you every single day. Nobody got to it's like one of those things that I hate to, you have all these things planned out. But after a certain time, none of that comes together again.

Speaker 10 (10:27):
right so anyway oink i personally have not been there but uh go figure of all days to be married on this is my mother and father-in-law's uh 50th wedding anniversary today and about i think it was about five i don't know five six years ago we actually bought them airline tickets for their 45th down there uh to spend their wedding anniversary and they got to see the memorial and the same thing they said the exact same thing is that when you get there there's just this calm else, you know, it's definitely

Speaker 6 (11:18):
something we definitely want to do. Yeah, absolutely. If you ever get a chance. So I don't know what's worse, having your wedding anniversary Pearl Harbor having her birthday Today's my grandpa's birthday

Speaker 7 (11:35):
like, I don't know,

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Seven or eight.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
Jesus. That's... That's weird.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
talk about a weird day to blow out some birthday candles and celebrate, right.

Speaker 8 (11:54):
And my chat is... I need to put an A there. Thank you. I was trying to write Pearl Harbor. And of course I forgot the A and no, go back and everything just like no fuck you yeah so yeah we got a few weeks like I said left 2024 still contemplating the new year's eve new year's quote day show we may or may not We don't, we'll do. shit the Saturday before. then you'll know, Yeah, that's how that works. Um, you do have until the 31st to get your 10-year anniversary t-shirts and then they're gone forever. I'm not putting them back up. I don't care what you say. You've had a year. I ain't got no money, but fucking starbucks you bastard um no i get it i get it uh if you uh don't get it i'm sorry if you want it and you can afford it and you go get it now those last

Speaker 6 (13:13):
I put a

Speaker 8 (13:15):
thought into those. Don't ask me why. It just happened. I didn't like the original one this one. So I was like, you know what? We'll do this. So I've done that. Anyway, the wind blows. So let's go around the proverbial round table. JJ, you wasn't here

Speaker 11 (13:38):
on these past few weeks.

Speaker 12 (13:41):
uh, December's a rough time.

Speaker 11 (13:48):
You know, anniversary time

Speaker 8 (13:54):
I just wasn't feeling it. I needed to...

Speaker 9 (13:57):
Oh,

Speaker 11 (14:00):
It didn't have any internet. That's true too. Exactly. I was waiting for it.

Speaker 8 (14:05):
Yeah, I forgot about that. That got solved Monday, so I don't even remember it. But I did something today that I've been wanting to do for years and finally had an excuse to do.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
today, and it's an absolute failure.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
But the

Speaker 6 (14:28):
was not to make...

Speaker 11 (14:32):
to develop a process.

Speaker 8 (14:35):
So that was pretty cool. I enjoyed that. Well, I did talk about Nevermore inadvertently on purpose, just perhaps cutting the internet last week. I was trying not

Speaker 6 (14:50):
her under the bus, damn it.

Speaker 8 (14:55):
She knows I don't give a fuck.

Speaker 7 (14:58):
Ha ha ha ha!

Speaker 6 (14:59):
i absolutely will

Speaker 8 (15:03):
Well, to be true for, to,

Speaker 7 (15:06):
In her defense. No.

Speaker 10 (15:09):
over here in the corner of the living room

Speaker 11 (15:13):
coming through the wall was like 30 feet.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Don't clutch your pearls.

Speaker 8 (15:23):
landline. Like, for and the old caretaker

Speaker 11 (15:29):
We ditched cable when we moved here.

Speaker 8 (15:33):
is fuck Spectrum. And she's like, can I just cut these? And I'm like, yeah, fuck that shit. We don't need it. What I didn't realize was on the right side fiber optics coming up, too.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
- Hey, Cliff, Cliff,

Speaker 8 (15:48):
And I'm like, what? Shit. Geez. And fiber optic, man, you have to cut it clean and you have to. like that's snickety shit for installation what's glass you can't just slap a new end on it and call it good so we had to wait until we could get a repairman out on monday for those that don't know I also have fiber thankfully and fiber is literally strands of glass that's technically all it is strands of glass it is also absolutely superior delivery of internet connection oh yeah Yeah, that copper shit too, man. 1972 maybe right but um I was talking to my installation guys and I was like obviously fiber superior to copper but which is the easier installation for you guys because they'd been doing copper for god knows how fucking long which is DSL um and uh he's like dude fiber he's like i can install this anywhere in about 15 minutes after that oh that's i was like mother fuck dude absolutely let's go fiber then and he said other than the cable everything costs less which rang a few bells not gonna lie sounded kind of odd for for him to tell me that but uh i i can see that i can see that it's cheaper as far as how much you've got and You have to be very specific with how you crimp it and shit like that. But it is superior. And I'm going to tell you, and I'm just, I'm paying for like the intermediate. connection and we can do all the streaming we want. I can be downloading video files while streaming and gaming and And it's just, it is so superior to cable. I think we get three or 400 megs. I can't remember exactly. It's something like that. And then I think the upgrade is what, it's in the gigs. I can't remember how many gigs, but it's all there. And I'm like, nah, I'll do it. I'll stick with this. My company, they gave me a mesh device. So I have full coverage in my shop so I can stream from my, I can do all that shit wirelessly in my shop. I thought about getting one, but then I was like, I'm not going to rent a fucking mesh. You can go fuck yourself because they're expensive. For my uses, because I need to be in the shop. It's, it's perfect. It's great. Well, that's, that's the difference too. You, you've got a corporation company. We've got a fucking piece of shit company that has a fucking monopoly. area and they're assholes yeah yeah i'm on a pretty nice my my suppliers that's that's one thing i'll say is good about living near cities is you get better choices with internet access power stuff like that when you live out in the fucking countryside like Cut it, shh, shh, shh.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
though. I mean, coming from living in the concrete jungle, it depends. Actually, our choice for internet because they didn't have the fiber network built. Like, I literally just got fiber maybe a year ago. And then as far as power, hell no. Edison, dude, they have a monopoly. There's literally no other power companies in the area. You are in California, though. I'm just trying to give you a perspective. I'd be grateful to be living in America, you know, This is tough out here. out here living in another country, man.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
I've got I can do

Speaker 11 (19:52):
They've literally, my energy usage hasn't changed in the past

Speaker 7 (19:56):
but every two months they raised my

Speaker 11 (19:58):
Same. For the same energy usage.

Speaker 8 (20:03):
Yeah, it's the same here, man. I'm trying to go solar just so that I can stop paying Duke Energy. Fuck those motherfuckers. I know we were talking about that. The thing that kills us here is we're in the fucking valley, so we only get a limited... I don't want to say limited amount of sunlight, but if we have solar, the solar is going to get limited. that's the caveat for us My roof is absolutely

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Ideal south-facing. Yeah. Like, my roof, it's like this house was built to put solar panels on it. It's crazy. That's nice. That is the good thing about living in the people.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
My energy bill...

Speaker 6 (20:45):
trick bill last month was a negative $59. Damn. No comment on that. Cause we get all the, we get all those credits, like, like they make the big companies like pay money for not being green or whatever. And they distribute those. so we get like a $300, like credit at the beginning of the year. And I basically ride that out for like nine months out of the year. Damn. I mean, I don't even turn off my lights anymore when I leave. I'm like, like I go to work and I'm like, I think I'm going to turn more on just so, just so I'm making sure that Edison doesn't get my power. Like this is my energy.

Speaker 8 (21:22):
is the guy that goes around the buildings and pulls the orange sticker off the fucking light switch that says, please turn off when leaving.

Speaker 6 (21:31):
Just let it ride. class 24 seven,

Speaker 8 (21:35):
do not turn it off you come into my house bring a parka i love it um really quick go ahead i just wanted to say in chat i'd ask mag 44 and cv66 uh about uh pearl harbor mag 44 said he's been there and the wall in dc which i would love to see as as well as the traveling wall or the rolling wall and stevie said i saw pearl harbor when i was at the But they can get to visit it. I'll be retiring in three years and that's the first place. Yeah, the Vietnam War wall. Also, the World War II Memorial in New York. Yeah. Those are two other concrete sites.

Speaker 5 (22:43):

Speaker 8 (22:47):
in 2000, I would like to go back memorial. Yeah. I'd like to see it. I'd like to go to D.C. and see the wall and I'd like to see the Pearl Harbor. Those are list items because my bucket list is very minute these days. The wall.

Speaker 11 (23:09):
eerie. That's the best thing

Speaker 8 (23:14):
It is a sacred memorial. Absolutely. But the hair you go into fight-or-flight mode.

Speaker 11 (23:23):
mode, there's a series of statues of a

Speaker 8 (23:29):
ponchos with their M-16s. as you approach it, and it's like –

Speaker 6 (23:39):
see it, you have to go there.

Speaker 8 (23:42):
maybe maybe it's a marine patrol we don't know it could be it could be i uh i went to my uh paw bills grave site once after i was driving so high school Iraq time. And he passed away when I was like eight. And that was the first time I got to a soldier's funeral and that fucking that kill me on levels that I cannot explain. That's one of those things. I can't listen. I can't just listen to Taps. Yeah, every time we play it here on the radio, and I know people are thinking that I'm sitting here, listening to everything. That's one thing I don't listen to. I will take my earbuds out. I'll watch the WAV file and when it's done, I'll put them in. I can't do it. Taps fucking breaks me, man. I had to carry a coffin in my whites. The only other song It's to me like that. family is Amazing Grace. I can't listen to Amazing Grace on bagpipes, on like I can't do it. Like it's I'm done. I love me some bagpipes. I love some.

Speaker 12 (24:56):
damn bag by but anyway what's this on on aircraft carriers

Speaker 8 (25:04):
play tabs yeah and if you're on flag if you're on flag duty sucks to be you yeah yeah oh like I had a question for you from Chris because we were talking last night he myself, Did you work the flight line when you were up in Alaska, when you guys got up there before you what is that black jacket that you guys get that nice ass fucking windbreaker shit do you know I'm talking about well as a mechanic we didn't get shit well I'll have to tell Chris that because he asked I was like if he don't know maybe he can find out because they were looking for one and he's got it. He just don't know the fucking name of it but anyway.

Speaker 10 (25:59):
You talk like the bomber jackets that pilots get, or what is he talking about? It's the winter jackets. jacket for people that work on the flight line oh yeah yeah we didn't get shit all we got was cortex jacket and some fucking thermals and like hey go have fun asshole and that was it you know sounds like the line i think no i think i know what you're talking about other

Speaker 6 (26:18):
switched contractors in like in the mid nineties actually a gucci uh winner collection 94 yeah right no we didn't have a black jacket they get special uh they get or hot chocolate or hot tub, whatever it is they need on the flight line to make sure that little feelings don't get hard.

Speaker 10 (26:40):
No, they did give us, uh, they're in shop. the carhartt black jacket but that was you could only wear that in your shop you couldn't take it like out to the flight line and shit you know what i mean gay um well i mean that wasn't heavy enough that did keep you warm i remember when i was in iraq they were like wear your your jackets and your and your caps or covers everywhere you go do you know how many of us

Speaker 8 (27:10):
around the cop in t-shirt, and the rest of it, we didn't. Fuck those jackets and covers, dude. Fuck that shit, I don't care. I'm done. But if I was like going on a convoy or something, absolutely. when does it say one line on you? God damn right. I'll put on a fat suit like Robin Williams does.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
I don't care. Uh, search war dog. How's your week being brother? Pretty good, man. Um, nothing major to report. Uh, saw my back and, Again, who reiterated the fact that I can't drink anymore, which is really got me feeling like I'm on some kind of probation or parole or something legal, man, with my doctors telling me I can't have a beer. Now, did you talk to him and discuss why?

Speaker 7 (28:10):
Yeah. And all he kept saying was, look,

Speaker 6 (28:13):
your urinalysis, we got to discharge you as a patient. That makes no sense.

Speaker 10 (28:24):
something that's totally legal. A paying contract We don't have the states now For fuck's sake

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Say that again. Are you on a pain contract? No, no.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
- Okay.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
Let's violate more of your HIPAA laws.

Speaker 12 (28:46):
Is that the concern?

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Yeah but

Speaker 8 (28:54):
them hey hey oinks had a few of those um what what were you asking

Speaker 6 (29:04):
Tyler. No, I'm just saying, I mean, we're like, let's dive into your personal medical file and tell us more. Like, I'm just wondering, like, again, to play devil's advocate, if it, is it, is it one of those, uh, like medication things? Like I got a buddy, uh, or one of my coworkers, um, I said, I'm going to get a shot of this remember what it was for but he was taking this medication and doctor Don't drink with it. And, you know, like a week went by He's a bourbon guy. He's like, fuck that. I want my glass of bourbon. Like, felt like shit. And the next time he went to the doctor, he was like, oh... and he was like, don't do that, you'll die, you know, just because the medication he was taking,

Speaker 11 (29:43):
interactions with enough alcohol, you know. - I think we've all been on Tramadol though, and I don't think any

Speaker 8 (29:50):
war dog has been told not to drink alcohol.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
that page of this medical record i missed the medication part sorry yeah oh okay gotcha i missed that part gotcha Jesus fucking Christ. Pay attention. I'm sorry. When people start talking about when people start violating rules and laws, I'm like, no, plausible denial Clues will now I ability. I'm going to get on only stand for everybody under the bus. the bus, send them to

Speaker 8 (30:23):
Go to Barnes and Noble and get the close notes on Sergeant Wardall.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
we've got the book i think i think it was chapter four yeah by now i think i think chapter four he just literally copies his medical record in there I told you guys

Speaker 7 (30:41):
bad car accident almost 10 years ago where they had to put a metal disc in my neck rods in my hip and screws in my back so the painting you know it's there if I really wanted to oh yeah I had no choice

Speaker 6 (30:58):
for that year, they refused to give me trauma and all.

Speaker 7 (31:04):
Eventually, you know, my body toughened up and, you know, calcified, whatever you want to call it. But, yeah, I got.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
on the meds when I moved back here

Speaker 10 (31:14):
And yeah,

Speaker 6 (31:15):
I don't know what happened. Before I went to Texas, they were allowing everything. I come back and they're saying you have alcohol in your urine. What gets me, and I'm so glad you're able to do this. I really am. I hope that it does go fast.

Speaker 8 (31:35):

Hitting more. Hitting more Facebook.

Speaker 8 (43:35):
Except for Christmas, I'm getting

Speaker 11 (43:37):
Chef Boyardee ravioli and spaghetti. I thought, I thought Oink was about to say density, "Man, can I come join you?"

Speaker 6 (43:47):
Pour it over some egg noodles. My God. I'll take that. I'll take that any day of the week. I eat that right out of the can. Just throw the can in the fire, pull it back out,

Speaker 8 (43:59):
right out of the can man I remember I I didn't want to make a fire cause I was at the house but when I was married I put I didn't want to dirty up nothing so I put a pot of water on the stove and the water and just opened it. And my wife came in. What are you doing? And I was like, warming up spaghetti. And she's like, why don't you just pour it in the pot? I said, because I don't want to dirty up no goddamn dishes. It's perfectly fine. It's in its own dish. I feel like that's actually smart and like respectable. She should have praised you for your, for your like, wow. Thank you so much for less dishes. Dude, I look back on it and she didn't thank me for shit ever. Her dad thanked me when he came in one day and I had all the dishes washed. I had the house completely clean, like spotless, organized, everything. Cause it was one of those days where I didn't have to work and I was in

Speaker 11 (44:58):
house was dirty and I couldn't

Speaker 8 (45:01):
Just got back from Iraq, so I'm still on that IRAC, man. applied Oh goodness Oh my God get up Rev I miss my chair you'll find one on the bus I was like, that, that, that was me. That was me. I gotta be a館 tall handsome guy. But anyway, oh, no. want to shout out about? Uh, well, I said in the, in the chat, I sent you the,

Speaker 1 (45:34):
updated PTS Dog Loco.

Speaker 8 (45:37):
I'm working on my three book. But I think we should touch on the information coming to

Speaker 12 (45:51):
Department of Veterans Affairs.

Speaker 8 (45:54):
that are watching us either Twitch or Rumble right there is the PTS dog logo that JJ was just talking JJ, you lost a lot of weight in that logo. that's Clifford I like that. That's nice. Yeah. I asked Carla if she'd do an update.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
or rectangular, that would translate well to a patch.

Speaker 8 (46:23):
She knocked it right out of the park, as she always does. I like it. And most likely...

Speaker 7 (46:29):
a lot of...

Speaker 11 (46:31):
comics from her. She's done quite a good series of Service Dog comics. And if something specific comes up that would be suitable for a four panel, I'll have Carla

Speaker 8 (46:48):
And that reminds me that this design Keeping it dysfunctional with the pen up in the middle. the store. It is the is actually done by... that. So, if you want that, you can grab that as well. Yeah, I like that. I like that description.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
sleek and chic.

Speaker 8 (47:13):
park absolutely now give never more why is your I was just going to say really quick. of what you're talking The VA has been being questioned by Congress due to things like them speculating

Speaker 11 (47:35):
claiming that they're...

Speaker 8 (47:39):
Multiple billions of dollars misplaced in their budget. Well, like the Pentagon. the statement that they might not be able to

Speaker 1 (47:54):
the end of the fiscal year?

Speaker 11 (47:56):
Anyways.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
mind of a mountaineer who knows in Tennessee.

Speaker 7 (48:09):
and orgy during work hours on the premises of the V.A.

Speaker 8 (48:17):
- It was Marine veterans, wasn't it? - I don't no. No, I don't know. It was CBA employees. But what's funny is there are people trying

Speaker 7 (48:30):
defend this and say it's an attack on civilian government workers.

Speaker 8 (48:34):
No. This is evidence. This is gross.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
in more ways than one.

Speaker 6 (48:41):
of the systemic corruption in government agency.

Speaker 8 (48:47):
Well, it's like what's his name that got caught with the video of him - Yeah, yeah. - Getting it all in the, what was it, in the Senate?

Speaker 11 (48:57):
Yeah. And that's what... It's not... Nobody's attacking

Speaker 6 (49:02):
civilian employees. It's not this big...

Speaker 11 (49:05):
uh, plot by Trump to take down, you know, it literally,

Speaker 6 (49:16):
that they can

Speaker 7 (49:18):
with pulling nonsense like this at work, on

Speaker 11 (49:22):
Mac 44, Congress is looking for video evidence. That is that is an indication of how. Completely corrupted, degraded the bureaucratic system that is the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Speaker 8 (49:40):
Look, if your eyes didn't open up when Hillary Clinton didn't get her ass lambasted with all those fucking emails and the and shit like that, but yeah, us accidentally doing something in the military, like literally accidentally doing something with some sort of... quote unquote your eyes only or emails or anything and us literally getting taken to fucking get mo and her just getting you know a fucking slap on the if that didn't open your eyes

Speaker 11 (50:12):
who don't understand how propaganda works. Well, and that's just it is. people trying to defend this behavior and say, it's not Alkaberman employees. No, it's government institutions. the symptom not the cause.

Speaker 8 (50:28):
And, you know, I've always said this, those on the lower totem pole wouldn't be doing it if somebody up higher hadn't done it before. Well, yeah, but that's the thing is the atmosphere in that organization is so absolute utter crap. Yeah. That this is what they're doing now. thing too I think they looked for permission in ways of "Hey JJ, can I go have an orgy outside in the, in the building that, you know, is for public use?" they won't say shit like that right like um yeah the uh i've said this and i'll say it again va top to bottom needs to be not only restructured but everybody needs to be replaced yeah and on top of that every va minus a few things within states right because there are some things in states that the va can do they can't do federally minus that they should all be run, if you will, like a McDonald's a franchise. They should all be ran the exact same. No offense or buts about it. said the few caveats with states, right?

Speaker 11 (51:46):
of my biggest frustrations with service dogs yeah there is a directive vha directive 1188 that is supposed to level the playing fields in every department of veterans affairs facility and they're all supposed to have about service dog access. is not true, even though there's literally a department-wide, is how you will do it. VA makes up its own rules. And when you try to hold them accountable, they tell you

Speaker 1 (52:21):
They give you the run around. That V.A. up in West Virginia...

Speaker 11 (52:27):
helping me try to battle off they make up their own rules. They have an illegal, completely illegal system. registry at that facility yeah it is not legal under any law it's not legal but hey the va fuck fuck just discrimination we don't care we can do it we're the department of veterans affairs fuck your individual you know fuck your individual rights we don't care yeah maybe

Speaker 8 (52:58):
And so we'll talk about this some more in depth next week, because it does play into what you and I, well, I came across it and I shared it with you. I think it was last week. An organization that's saying that it takes $50,000 from birth. wrote an article about that uh it's on the pts stock page i wrote it yesterday nice we - even my mom was using them. at most five grand, right? depending on where you are. Now, look,

Speaker 11 (53:33):
in a very, very specific way. They're bred very specifically and they are raised, trained specifically to do that task, but modeling all service dogs after seeing eye dogs is stupid and dumb because that

Speaker 1 (53:53):
very specific necessity

Speaker 8 (53:56):
a very specific disability, and it's not universal. Yeah. Which is why the ADA is written the way it's written. Which is why I hate the VA's blueprint for adaptive housing. One size does not fit fucking all. And I did not need an $8,000 fucking shower. Let's just put it that way. i needed a 1580a compliant plastic shower that i could have bought offline anyway let's uh let's bring that back next week uh and and we'll talk about us out a little bit more in depth.
