A Young Fire Spouse's Journey With Her Husband's Cancer Diagnosis
"A few episodes back we sat down with Diane Carter and she shared her story of her husband's line of duty, panther diagnosis, and her relentless pursuit of making turnouts safe and just exploring PFAS and all that fun stuff about exposure in the workplace. If you haven't listened to that podcast, we definitely recommend it. And today we actually have another first responder spouse, Brittany San Pedro with us to share her story about her husband's line of duty cancer diagnosis. Brittany, welcome. Thank you for having me. Brittany San Pedro is a speech therapist assistant, wife to a firefighter and a mom. She has been with her husband for 10 years and has an 18 month old and another one on the way. In late October of 2019, Brittany's husband at the age of 30 and 10 years into his career noticed a small lump on his collarbone. After several tests, he was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was the first line of duty cancer diagnosis in the history of Greeley fire department. Since then, many changes to screening and early detection have been made as a department. As a result, several malignant polyps, skin samples and ultrasound readings have potentially saved the lives of other firefighters within the department. Today, Brittany is sharing her story to help anyone who may feel alone or scared, especially after a health diagnosis. She also wants to encourage change and promote the importance of regular screenings and early detection. Okay. So tell us your story a little bit, the whole thing. We want to hear it. My husband came home one day and just kind of mentioned like, Hey, I got out of the shower at work and I just noticed I had a bump on my collarbone. And he's like, you know, I haven't had my yearly physical. I'm going to go in, have it checked out. And you know, none of us, we weren't really worried. And we were just kind of like, okay, he has a bump. We're going to go check it out. And his general practitioner ran blood work and then started him on antibiotics thinking it was just an infection. His body was fighting something and blood work came back fine. It didn't go down with the antibiotics. At that point, they did an X -ray. Everything looked fine. The blood work looks fine. And his general practitioner asked him what he did for a living. And you know, you fill out that survey, you tell him what you do. And he's like, you know what? We're going to, we're going to keep going. We're going to keep looking. If you're fine with that. You're a firefighter. It just makes me sit better if I, if I keep digging a little bit. And he kept going in for appointments. He then got an ultrasound done. After the ultrasound, he scheduled an appointment for a biopsy to have it looked at. And at this point we hadn't even heard the word cancer yet. I at the time was a special education teacher at a school across the street from the hospital where he was having the biopsy done. He texted me and let me know he was going in. He was super nervous. I let my co -teacher know, Hey, my husband doesn't usually have his feelings out like that. And lets me know that he's there. He's like, that's fine. Go. I ran across the street and he went back. Everything was fine. He came back out and then he just had this look on his face that I'll never forget his eyes started welling up with tears. And I guess the doctor who performed the doctor tech who performed the biopsy, you know, before his doctor had a chance to say anything told him, yeah, this is pretty typical for lymphoma. And both of us were just kind of like, what is happening? What's going on? We were hit by a bus. We didn't even know that this is something that they were looking for. And we called our closest friends, our little mini fire family. And we were like, Hey, we need support tonight. And in a minute, everybody was together at one of our friends house and everybody was just talking trash about the guy who stepped out of his scope of practice and said some things he maybe shouldn't have. And we were like, it's not going to happen. He's too young. He's healthy. There's no way. So a couple of days went by, we got a phone call saying that the doctor wanted us to come in, even though it was his day off and usually not a great sign. So we were a little nervous going in. And then when we sat down, he let us know that they, they did find it to be Hodgkin's lymphoma and that they needed to start figuring out what stage he was at coming up with a plan, trying to figure out everything. And we were both strong until they asked us, you know, are you guys, you guys are young. You guys just got married, just bought a house. Like you, are you guys wanting to start a family at some point? And I just started bawling because I already knew what was coming. And he said, I recommend that you reach out to a fertility specialist, if that's something that you would want to do. And you start reaching out to all your resources. And we did, after that, he started chemo in like less than a week. It was probably like four or five days. And he had chemo, he had it on Christmas. He had it, like he started in November, had it for about six months and then took a little bit of a break and then started radiation. And then after he went through radiation, his end date was March 14th, 2020. And then right after that, the next day the world shut down, but it was just, you know, for us, it was just amazing because he never, we never went to an appointment alone. It was just such a somber time. We were just had this dark cloud of stress and not knowing and anything. And at the same time when it was so dark, such a beautiful thing, because we had the department bringing rigs and down we packed that cancer center and, you know, we had some of his best friends, like his best man and another Lieutenant was there at every single one of his chemo appointments. And, you know, everybody kind of band together for him. It was kind of, it was a beautiful thing to see everybody supporting each other and making sure that he was never alone. You know, the Terry Farrell Fund reached out right away. You know, they did a cut it for cancer for him. It was just something that they hadn't ever experienced before at the, this department. And we were, we were just kind of overwhelmed with all the support that we had,

Democrats Are Threatening Israel's Very Survival
"You know it's interesting when israel one it's independence the state of israel and people get confused with that and how how long the jewish people have been there the jewish people have been there for four thousand years but the modern state of israel the establishment of the state of israel it was proclaimed on may 14 1948 within a few hours president truman issued from the white house a statement that said the states united government recognized the provisional government as the de facto authority the new state of israel two days later the soviet union followed with a formal recognition to an exchange of letters by stalin's right -hand man stoff and should talk the foreign minister of israel and it said confirm your receipt of your telegram on may 16 in which you inform the government of the ussr of the proclamation on the basis of the revolution of the united nations resolution november 1947 of the creation of alzheimer the independent state of israel make requests for the recognition of state of by the ussr i inform you in this letter that the government of the ussr has decided to recognize officially the state of israel and its provisional government so today's so two days later the soviet union recognizes israel and from that moment until 1967 formal diplomatic relations but seven diplomatic relations were broken off and weren't resumed until 1991 one the . also israel's closest ally the state of israel was established was not the united states it was france. france was israel's closest ally and it's believed that france provided israel with certain technological information to enable them to build atomic weapons it was france. eisenhower was a little chilly toward israel at least at the toward the end by the despite what some israeli officials are saying at the highest levels in even worse than obama even though obama's acolytes are surrounding biden in instituting their ideological agenda the fact is you can see since obama's presidency that the demographics of the country enhance the demographics of the democrat party have significantly changed. there's more islamists operating under the umbrella of the democrat and receiving tenure and receiving student visas and all the rest of it than during the obama administration and exist big time now and being funded by billionaires and they're being lost network and others

"White House national security spokesman John Kirby says U the .S. hopes the ceasefire could be extended so more Americans can be freed. I don't want to give you a handicap here on this or nods. bet I can just tell you that we want to see all the hostages out. The way to do that is these pauses. White House spokesman John Kirby spoke with reporters outside Air Force One. One CIA director Bill Burns is in Qatar for talks about extending the ceasefire. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will be back in Israel later this week. And in a post on X, President Biden called for an end to the fighting. He says Hamas fears nothing more than Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace. Well in other news, Nathan, the financial world is mourning and remembering the life of Charlie Munger. Munger helped build Berkshire Hathaway with Warren Buffett, and he died yesterday at the age of 99. We have more with Bloomberg's John Tucker. John. And Karen with with wisdom and one liners. Charlie Munger served as Warren Buffett's alter ego, often telling him with brutal honesty what wouldn't work. Munger was known for steering Buffett away from purchasing what Buffett called cigar butts, mediocre companies that had a puff of smoke left and could be bought for very cheap prices and instead favoring quality. A lawyer by training Munger recalled how he was steered toward investing. When I met Warren, he immediately started telling me how much better his way of making a living was than mine and that I was too smart to stay in such a silly business as law practice when I could go into his business of running an investment partnership and it took me about two or three years to realize he was right. His death leaves Buffett without his longtime sounding board. For investors, maybe his most enduring legacy is Berkshire's performance. Under their management Berkshire averaged an annual gain 20 of % from 1965 through 2022. And Berkshire's at annual meetings in Omaha, Charlie Munger was known for his roles as straight and man scold of corporate excesses. Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Matthew Palazzolo remembers Munger's with Warren Buffett. individual They're recalling meetings that they had, you know, 40, 50 years ago and Buffett is forgetting a couple things and Munger's reminding him of, well this guy said that and we said this and we made this much money in these meetings. I mean it was, you truly a partnership for all of that time and their interaction was just amazing. They would finish each other's sentences. Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Matthew Palazzolo. Munger died yesterday at a California hospital. He was a longtime resident of Los Angeles Well Nathan, we want to turn to the markets and specifically the economy. Billionaire Investor Bill Ackman is betting the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates sooner than markets are expecting. I think there's a risk of a hard landing if the Fed doesn't start cutting rates, you know, pretty soon. So, you know, I think the market expects sometime middle of next year. I think it's more likely probably as early as Q1. Bill Ackman that added he's not convinced the U .S. economy is headed for a so -called the soft landing. The billionaire investor made the comments in an upcoming episode of The David Rubenstein Show Peer -to -Peer Conversations on Bloomberg Television. And those comments from Bill Ackman come as two of the Federal Reserve's most hawkish rate setters are signaling they could be comfortable holding steady for now. Here's what Fed Governor Christopher Waller told the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. I am increasingly confident that policy is currently well positioned to slow the economy and get inflation back to 2%. Chris Waller's view was echoed by Fed Governor Michelle Bowman who said she remains willing to support rate hikes if inflation progress stalls, but she stopped short of endorsing an increase next month. Well in Washington, Nathan, the House of Representatives may be voting on whether to expel George Santos today or tomorrow, and Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has story. the Motions in the House have been formally introduced saying ethics findings violate the accepted policies of body. the Now many of those members who voted against the first one, November 1st, are saying will they vote to expel now, and Santos has responded saying the body is just theater. I went to San Diego last week. It is terrible, terrible. That's what we should be putting our energy on, not censuring one another, expelling one another, witch hunts against the political class. Nobody cares. Congress has 48 hours to act under the resolution. Ed Baxter, Bloomberg Radio. Okay, Ed, thank you. The COP28 climate summit gets underway in Dubai tomorrow, and while President Biden won't be there, Vice President Kamala Harris will. Let's get the details from Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Harris will join Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other US officials at the two -week event that begins tomorrow. She is expected to address the summit this week. Formal negotiations at COP28 will center on the response to warnings that countries are falling short in cutting their emissions and possible commitments to phase down fossil fuels. In Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio. Alright, Amy, thanks.

Aunt Retells the Tragic Story of J6 Defendant Matthew Perna
"Rest of your holiday weekend and please enjoy the show. Well if you listen to my show before I don't know if you just tuned in or when you tuned in but I was telling a story about these new January 6 videos which now clearly tell an entirely different side of the story I said a lot of stuff happened on that day we've talked about it candidly fairly on this show for a very long time what bothers me is the left was looking to hide an entirely different side of what happened that day not us it was them doing because they don't want you to see the entire story they want you to see what just died and one of the stories is about a really tragic case of a gentleman named Matthew Perna and here to discuss that is a good friend and a real warrior his aunt Jerry thanks a lot for taking the time we really appreciate you coming on today thank you for having me on well we met through police tapes this movie we did and I remember seeing you on the Dinesh had sent me kind of a screener rough cut of the movie and I'm watching you talk about Matthew and what happened to Matthew and my wife I looked over and she couldn't take it neither could I it was such a horrible story if you could tell the audience what happened with Matthew let's and yeah just just tell them what happened your your version of it is really kind of tough to listen to but everyone needs to hear it well Matt went to the Capitol on January 6th he thought going he to was be part of a celebration that day the crowd was big and he got you know into the crowd and it was announced that Mike Pence had certified the election results it wasn't exactly what what he had planned and as the crowd moved forward they went to the Capitol and he was in a huge crowd of people people and he did go in he went inside a door that had been previously opened he walked around inside the building filming from his phone and he walked out he went back to his hotel he made a live Facebook video talking about the day the video is still visible on our website he was very calm and cool just talking about the day and he he made a comment that he said Mike Pence proved himself to be a traitor today and he said but don't worry don't worry this isn't over yet and that was basically the way he said it and about a week or so later I'm sitting on my couch in Florida maps up in Pennsylvania and I saw a post Facebook that said the FBI had posted pictures of people from January 6 so I clicked on the link and I was scrolling through the photos and lo and behold there's Matt's picture and I was speechless I didn't know what to do so I called one of my brothers up in Pennsylvania and I said you need to go to Matt's house first thing in the morning his picture is on the FBI website so six o 'clock in the morning warning my brother shows up at Matt's house and Matt already knew that his picture was there and he and he had contacted a retired police officer and asked him what he should do he told him to call the local office saw the FBI in Newcastle Pennsylvania so at nine o 'clock in the morning that's exactly what Matt did and Matt seriously thought this was all a huge misunderstanding he just needed to explain that he didn't hurt anybody he didn't break anything and he thought this would be resolved and so the FBI came out to talk to him and I had a couple of my brothers there present as witnesses and they listened to Matt's story and they made it seem like yeah I was just a misunderstanding and they left and Matt called me and I said you know I don't like the sound of this I said I'm coming home so I a got on plane and I flew home that week and I said we need to get you a lawyer and we did we got him a lo lawyer and and behold the FBI showed up and arrested Matt that week while I was there and they took him in and they processed him and they may let him go he was not placed in custody he was told he had to report to somebody if he were to leave the was charged with four misdemeanors the regular ones the rating disorderly and conduct and we met with his attorney his attorney said oh this is nothing this is just a slap on the wrist you've never been arrested for anything before don't worry about it I've got this well then they slapped 220 of the J sixers with the felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding and that's when it got serious but his attorney was still saying don't worry this is this is nothing so somebody sent me video that they had of matt outside of the capitol at 2 55 in the afternoon and I says well that's almost 45 minutes after congress adjourned you hadn't even gone inside yet he said no so I thought well there's your evidence right there it's right there on video you didn't go inside you didn't obstruct anything so I sent it to his attorney and his attorney said it nope doesn't matter they said he was there so it was an obstruction and and that video isn't going to help so this was a start of a nightmare a nightmare watching matt worry and deteriorate because the newspaper facebook social media everybody was brutal they were showing the video from january six that everybody has seen countless times and calling it an insurrection and matt's community turned against him his business which he ran through social media was taken away from him all of the accounts were he disabled and didn't want to leave his house anymore and he would have meetings with his attorney that were you would have to go into the attorney's office and they would meet with the judge via zoom because of the whole covid mess and they would cancel those meetings at the very last minute every and postpone them and it would just wear on him because he would prepare himself mentally what he was going to say and they would say up it's been canceled and this went on for quite some time and um that was deteriorating something awful he no longer ran he was a runner he gave away his television because he couldn't stand to see the news anymore with his picture on his dad was who is my oldest brother has parkinson's disease and it was affecting him something awful and matt felt very guilty about the effect it had on his dad and as the year was coming to a close it was almost christmas matt had lost a ton of wait he was vomiting blood at this point and he told his attorney just i just need this to be over what's the best way for this to be over his attorney said plead guilty you're looking at six to twelve months in a federal prison camp minimum security and matt says okay what then i'll that's do and matt was going to he told me i'll turn it into a positive he said i'll teach my fellow inmates help them get their geds i'll work on another degree for myself at the time matt was very intelligent and very giving so that was settled and the hearing was scheduled for march the third and a week before the hearing matt called his attorney and he said i just have a bad feeling it's just a counseling came over me so that's the day my mother died march the third his attorney says well matt i have bad case they've postponed your your hearing again to april fool's day and the prosecution is looking to add a sentencing enhancement of terrorism and this could have taken matt's sentence to nine years in jail matt called me on the phone sobbing that day uncontrollably sobbing sobbing i could not hardly understand him he kept telling me he he loved me kept apologizing to me for losing all of my friends because i lost every friend i almost almost everyone i ever had over this and i told him don't worry we're going to get through this together don't worry god's not going to let you go to jail

Finding Your Source of Confidence, Strength and Security
"Extremely important to be confident. You know, they say the difference between a confident person and an arrogant person is that a confident person has nothing to prove, but an arrogant person appears to have to prove that they're confident. Isn't that funny? Now you got to know who you are. You got to know what you want to do and you got to figure out how to do it, but you got to be confident. And it's not that kind of confidence where you fake it till you make it. I mean, you've got to be confident. You know, you've got to be confident and I can make this thing work. When my phone didn't ring for two weeks, I was still confident I could make this thing work. At the time, all I had to do was just go out and work harder and meet more people and make my phone ring and that's what I did. So I also had, I had personally, my strength came from my faith in Jesus Christ. That's where I get my strength today from my faith in my Lord and Savior. And that's not for everyone and that's okay, but you've got to get your strength from something or someone in order to make it through the obstacles and the failures you're going to have. So, you've also got to be secure in being who you are at any time in your growth. You know, when I started joining some groups and I was just doing somewhere around 400 ,000 a year and I was joining groups sitting at tables with guys that were doing 4 million a year or 2 million, 3 million, 4 million, some higher than that, I still had to be confident sitting at that table. You know why? Because I realized everybody at that table started somewhere and I was okay with where I was. Now, I wanted to be larger for sure, but I was okay. I was a sponge around that table. I was learning and they learned a few things from me, but I was learning. And if you take a quick look at some very, very successful companies and the owners and founders of the company, you'll find they started with very little too. So let's take a look at them right now. Put them up on the screen. Let's take a look at Steve Jobs. I mean, Steve Jobs started in his dad's garage, as you know, if you've watched any of the Steve Jobs movies. How about Elon Musk? Take a look at that guy. He started in a small office in his house. And then there's Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos started... Look at that office. I mean, he started somewhere. I mean, Amazon wasn't an existence. It wasn't around. It wasn't... He started it. See, he started small and started selling books. You know why he started selling books? Because he figured it out that books could be shipped for about the same price. So it was an easy shipping. And then he went to CDs and DVDs, which was actually easier shipping. So that's what he started with and why. Isn't that kind of funny? And then of course, you know where Amazon's at today. Okay. So everybody starts somewhere and normally it's pretty small. So long story short, you got to be secure where you're at in your growth.

"Today recuperating we're from the busiest travel day of the year, although technically it's only the busiest car travel day of the year. I hate driving on Thanksgiving weekend, both coming and going, the Wednesday and the Sunday, because people are a little bit impatient. Maybe it's because it's a short time. Thanksgiving's really one day, then of course there's Black Friday, and it's a busy, hectic weekend, and while it's kind of a long weekend, it's not. It's kind of a weird weekend. We all want to get to where we're going, spend time with the family, and while everybody seems to be anxious and grumpy, and as we head over the river and through the woods to whether it's grandma's house or the sister -in -law's house or the brother -in -law's house or wherever you're going, I hope you're having a good Thanksgiving. I don't know if, again, it's just me that my stamina for the road isn't what it used to be. Yeah, we traveled last weekend to Fort Wayne, Indiana, so that was like a six -hour trip to and from. I got injured on the way, so the trip back was not fun, and now we're doing it again. I used to be able to drive 14 hours in a day. I'd be tired, but no big deal. I don't know if it's me or if it's everybody else.

I'm getting at polls and RFK junior folks I'm telling You you are getting so played by this story They want you so badly when I say I you mean the DeSantis Trump crowd I Haley's kind of doing okay did the Republicans is what I'm at getting they want you to help them get RFK out of the race and the way they're doing it is Really deceitful, and if you know politics like I do having run and been on kind of the other Side of this operation you see right through it. It's so transparent. It's my dipsy -do -flip -a -roo theory Whatever the Democrats are telling you to do do the opposite So I've noticed all these media outlets Left -wing media outlets all reporting on oh my gosh RFK man this guy's gonna really hurt Donald Trump and Mike what's the first thing you should be thinking the dipsy -do -flip -a -roo read Headline the in reverse RFK will help Donald Trump. They're exactly right not hurt. There's nothing Left -wing media lies to you about everything always measure how you should Spawn based on the opposite of what they're doing if they're worried about a story you should be excited about a story If they're telling you get RFK out of the race he's gonna hurt you it means he's gonna help you a lot of people fell for this And though they're like ice because I still see it on social media on Twitter particularly Where people are like Man this guy's gonna steal a bunch of voters from Trump folks this guy's gonna take about three to Four voters away from Biden for every one he takes away from Trump Here it is always bring the receipts baby always new poll general election Harvard Harris Harvard Harris, so we're not talking about some like poll operation here including undecided voters Trump Biden straight -up head -to -head match no third -party candidates included Trump wins by 748 41 folks before I get to the RFK thing.

Gun Confiscation in Biden's America: Will You Be on the List?
"Who have 100 ,000 followers. I'm not even mentioning their names, but just imagine for a second you garner 50 thousand followers. You're Joe Smith. You've got a regular job, living a decent life with your two kids and the dog, whatever it may be. And all of a sudden you start posting about and Biden wins, God forbid, in 2024, you start posting about Hunter Biden's crack problems and his paintings and money laundering. Oh, next thing you know, look, you get a knock at the door. We'd like to talk to you about these Twitter posts, by the way. You have a gun, son of your business. Well, actually it is our business. You have a gun. We'd like to see that. Next thing you know, you get some kind of flag red against you. Your guns are confiscated. look, Oh, they find a gun in your house and all of a sudden they make up some phantom menacing thing. Oh, he lunged for it. Meanwhile, you were seven rooms away while they're in your house. This is what worries me. They will use the gun list as a way to target their political opponents. Not that they're going to confiscate every gun. There's no way. They have no chance. But how would they do that, folks? And now let's play a little interactive game. But, Dan, I've listened to your show before. It's illegal for the federal government to create Yes, correct. It's also illegal for the federal government to use tax dollars to pay off people's student loans. But they do that. There's always a workaround for tyrants. And the workaround for the tyrants is the background check system. The federal government wants to desperately compile a list of everybody that's gone through a background check for a firearm. So they have a list of every firearm and who bought it. The problem, ladies and gentlemen, is the mandatory background check is only for sales from FFLs. It's not for private. So Mike if or I were to give away a firearm to, say, our daughters or sons, and they're not prohibited possessors, the government son of the government's business, your gun, you can give it to whoever you want, as long as it's the law.

The Government Wants to Control All Resources... Even Turkeys
"Mike, you up for me cuttin' on? I want you to listen to this. Now, this may seem like a silly argument over Thanksgiving turkeys on Christmas and a giveaway, excuse me, on Thanksgiving they do every year. This is where we're going with this. This is exactly what the government and NGOs on the left want. They want to control the resources and make sure that you all have the Hunger Games to get them. Listen to this lady in this news report talk about how illegal migrants with our open border society are now taking away the Thanksgiving turkeys they used to get for free every year. Take a listen this. to In one neighborhood in Queens between NYCHA tenants and newly arrived migrants, tensions are growing with not enough food to go around. Why do we have to take the butt of everything? This community here is already suffering. The residents living in NYCHA's Queensbridge houses look forward to the mobile food pantries that show up weekly. But over the past year, they have witnessed 8000 migrants move into their neighborhood and they've also noticed the migrants are also starting to take their stuff. They was first online for the turkeys this morning. They tell you to be there at 11 o 'clock. You get there like 10 30, 10 45, but they're already out there. The line is from over there to over here. Free food giveaways, especially during the holidays, have become a source of tension between longtime New Yorkers struggling to get by and newly arrived migrants who are using the system to survive. Step one, the tyranny emergency powers. Step two, the Hunger Games. Resources come from the government. We can't have resources coming from the free market that will empower business and vulturous business CEOs. We can't have that. You will eat when we say you eat. Did you hear the key line in that? They took our stuff. Oh yeah. As we move towards government run health care, government run university education through student loan programs, government run pre -K, government run day care, and a

In a recent Gallup survey Democrats did much worse than Republicans in getting the right answer to the fundamental question what are the chances that someone who gets covid will need to be hospitalized the answer is between one and five percent forty one percent of democrats thought it was over fifty percent another twenty eight percent put the chances of twenty to forty nine so almost seventy percent of Democrats are wildly off on this key question and also have a greatly exaggerated view the of danger of covid 2 and the mortality rate among children I'm gonna get back to that point later but I'm serious when I tell you this you you know I know don't like liberals I'm not hiding it liberals listening you don't like me either that's fine we don't have to like each

I love me some taco bell. But i think. I'm a pretty well rounded eater for the most part like eat like i try to eat relatively healthy and clean. Was it last night. What did you have for dinner What last night was a burger. Burger and fries is kind of burgers you get. I went to johnny rockets and so it was like the nights like ol- old style like california burger. Yeah give a favorite burger. 'cause i think burgers might be my all time favorite food. Yeah i think it's hard to beat out an double double animal style. I when i was in texas. I went to whataburger. Try to compare those two. Yeah what a burger is dog. Shit third when i. I said that online man. I dunno whatever three or four years ago and i got just annihilated by people and then i thought maybe i got it wrong i was like man maybe i had a bad one and i went back and got another one. It is fucking bullshit. I mean it's good. But like the way like jack in the box of corals juniors notable all and they put too much mayonnaise on there. It's like a fucking exxon as burger. That breads bread is part of the ingredient of great burger. The brown hair of son. Now i would do in and out Shake shack is fucking. That's super yeah. But what a burger. I don't know why those fucking dumb dumbs think it's something special. It's the most bullshit burger ever had. Don't get it at all white castle. Suck my tits. To white castle was another disappointment. When i was over in like chicago i had white castle. Also not notable noble. You know the meat has to be fresh and the bun has to be for. I feel like you know what it is though. Is that these fucking idiots that that think that. What a burger something special. They're just not exposed to anything now. Any better no. It's like if you're fucking if you're i don't know if you're in croatia and your leg at the best thing is roasted flowers you know because guess what your grandma makes and you're like there's nothing better than grandmas rock soup then.

Heck i'd much rather have barbecue in texas and in kansas city. Same i agree tom. Wow now that is gonna. That is gonna lines open.

I've had barbecue in kansas city in memphis in north carolina alabama. I was reading. i've had it into. I prefer the text. Do i know. I don't really like a dry rub. Isn't that what. Kansas city is known for the dry rub. I don't say loose tits on. that's another barbecue place. it's okay but i'm telling you and tejas you order brisket which not my favorite. It's not brisket is usually dry pussy meat. But they make it so juicy joe. It's look rudy's get shit. Get your life like in austin. I should've so tight dude. And the size you can get some good sides now. That's the problem with a lot of barbecue. An tejas than everywhere. I'd say if the sides are shit everything else has shit like why.

"You to a lot of my favorite specialty vendors that grow and sell really itty bitty tiny plant species from foliage ferns to aquatics to micro orcas. Because if you're shopping sort of in the general plant world you're not gonna find a lot of these plants so getting out into some of the aquatics thunders. The very vendors you know places like that are where you're gonna find some of these really cool tiny plant species that you've probably never seen before and you've probably never seen offered at your local garden center ryan job. I have a memory as a as a kid. I don't know maybe. I was seven or six and i somebody gave me a tiny little cactus plant that i kept on my windowsill and i think i got bored with it because i was disappointed that it wasn't growing very quickly right. Actually i have a an for for those listeners. Who actually so go online. And look at the video there is. Here's a really tiny fourth-ia favorite and this is actually pretty large colony or thea. And this is about as big as it gets and so. Yeah if you're looking for plants that are going to grow superfast ramble. Obviously you're teeny tiny succulents and and teeny tiny troppled. Aren't gonna do that. But if you don't have a lot of space and you have a corner of a dos or a tiny window. Spelling tiny home. It gets right. Lay a tiny succulent lake. This is perfect. Because it's never gonna outgrow it face. It's going to so that's going to stay in that little pot forever indefinitely i could divided and and split it up into new pas. Eventually as that as this cluster for those that are are viewing you. It will kind of start out of this show. And i can divide it. Propagate it which. I have a book on propagation. Plant parenting you can check that out. That goes into all of that. I have that one here. So if you're into propagation. Plant parenting. I show you how to divide succulents. Which would be the same procedure. Whether it's a tiny planter. Were bigger one but yeah that's that's gonna live pretty much indefinitely and that sized container so it's pretty handy if you don't have a lot of room awesome. Do thinking about the setting of a tiny house. You've got you know a two four hundred square foot home with probably a lot of windows so a lot of natural light but probably not a lot of like counter or not a lot of spare horizontal storage space right Can you talk about how to creatively. Fit these plants in two places where you may be. Don't have a spare corner of a desk because your desk is like multifunction. It's got a fold down when you're not using it that kind of thing right so i think in terms of of pots that you might wanna sit down on a on a tiny window or any little area that you have. That's a surface area. The great thing about these tiny plants is the relative size of their pods. Many of these plants grow in one inch containers want to three inches. I think three and two and a half inches about is about the maximum. So you know you can. Have you know a great little fern showing video. You know in a two inch. The is pretty leafy. Doesn't take up much space at all and many of my tiny plants grow in one inch pots. You don't you barely need any space for a lot of these points which can also grow vertical. So a lot of these plants can be hung so kind of a great solution for that if you have a lot of windows and and a lot of few sprite light maybe not quite enough for a lotta succulents. That is the challenge that most indoor growers run into with succulents and cacti is that without a good five hours of direct sunlight it can be tough to maintain those but a lot of great diffuse indirectly perfect for most bullish plants and a lot of tiny gives of african by liz and begonias and you can hang those tiny pots. I don't know if you're if you're into tiny houses and tiny living. I suspect that some of you may also be Avid diy ears. I make my own little mac mayor. Whatever wire plant hangers all the time and you can retrofit any little. You know hangar or you can make one to actually go. Vertical with tiny plans and even make it easier. You could certainly get into airplanes or two lancia which. I don't really cover a lot in this book because there's so many other great to lana books but that's a really easy way to is to grow vertical so if you've got some areas that you can hang some things in front of a window that perfect nice you hit on something that is actually a great thing to ask about. Which is the. I y and repurposing Because that is a big part of the tiny house movement especially for people who are building their own houses. Give any kind of creative ideas for what you can. Put your tiny plants in. I mean beyond you know you're obviously like an extra mug that you have laying around or something like that. What are what are some creative things. You've seen that sort of one of the great parts about growing tiny that you can repurpose so many different things. I mean down to really the size of a thimble you can reuse to grow licola michelson. Ngos that i grow are so tiny. The writ system is so small all you need is a little something the size of a thimble so really any vessel that you have you know can be used to grow many tiny plants like you said whether it's an old you know tiny you know coffee cup or a discarded Little bowl i you know. Broken pottery reclaimed wood. There's just so many ways that you can use materials. And i i and you'll see some of that in in the book i also i have a problem. Acquisition problem advantage glassware. You'll see that a little bit reflected you know in the book but the cool thing about like for example growing under glass like here's an example of a little microgram affirm that i keep an eye popping disclosing this little glass jar. I also use canning jars like. That's a great thing to repurpose are. Just you know jelly jars canning jars a lot of tiny plants inside or covered with just a glass or canning jars. So there's a lot of dish wear glassware that you just may already have that you can repurpose or keeping a lot of these tiny plants in high humidity conditions or or to create vessels. But drainage certainly doesn't take as many resources as bigger bigger plants. You don't necessarily have to buy big expensive pottery the tons of things. You can use nice to some people. Travel quite a bit in their tiny homes Particularly.

I am talking with alberton. Chen author of billion dollar fantasy the high stakes game between fan dole and draftkings. That up ended sports in america while reading your book. I felt this tension that i'm sure the two companies felt about whether what they're doing was legal and considered gambling. I i'm from new jersey. And during that time i was watching my local news because new jersey at that time jersey was going through the court system to get sports betting legal and without failed. Welcome news let's go to a break and without fail. They're either be a fan dole or a draft draftkings commercial. And i think a lot of sense a lot of people thought. Well we're going through court and they're gambling right now. They're doing gambling commercials but new jersey has to go through court to actually do it. These companies are doing. I mean inside. Burke's companies was their fear that what they were doing could end in an instant. Well there was after the ads happened. And then you know there was sort of this turning point where There was a kind of a scandal. Really that was kinda splash over headlines regarding a player who you know was alleged to have used insider information to win a lot of money and so you. The allegation was that because he worked at drafting he was privy to some infrared inside information and actually like Played on fan will and he won three hundred fifty thousand dollars on a tournament so that put up set off. A lot of red flags In the media and then ultimately with you know attorneys-general across the country. And just you know department of justice. And like what is going on here. Are these companies just like fleecing their customers and And so once the state's got involved and started actually shutting them down because there were concerns about initially this insider trading deal which turned out to be not specific instance. You know there was an outside firm that determined that this was not This you know something. Problematic actually did not happen but there was this kind of issue of employees playing These games on you know their rivals Apps so it was kind of a strange dynamic that was going on. so that was. The red flags employs winning a lot of money playing david fantasy games but then once the regular has got going they were shutting the companies down because they viewed them as you gambling operations. That's that's when it got really dicey for the companies and yeah you know Waking up every day in late two thousand fifteen early two thousand sixteen and sort of wondering where. This was all going ahead with in the companies. Okay they were shut down in new york state. You know shot down in and many many states actually began to snowball. And that's when you know it actually seemed likely that both rankings and fan duel. We're not gonna exist because there was no revenues. There wasn't really sort of any way that These companies. We're gonna make money so yeah i mean it was really really Really dicey there for a while. Well let me ask you about that. The employee's name was ethan haskell. Which was a very interesting part of the book. Were the states heading that way anyway. And did the incident with. Ethan haskell just accelerate the situation where they headed in that really regulating and taking a hard look at the point. I mean i do think that it was inevitable. And i think there was probably a level. There was certainly mike arrogance on the part of both companies. thinking that we're just gonna spend a ridiculous amount of money and you know just bulldoze everyone and This idea that they could splash their ads everywhere and assume that everyone would just be fine with it was definitely a priority really arrogant and they would sort of admit that now now In terms of the employees that was just a tremendous oversight on the company a part of the company's where they they just did not really of see this as a problem When clearly just from the outside looking in if you have Employees making more money winning out these massive prizes. Then they were making their day job. You know at the fantasy companies themselves. That is certainly would seem like a huge problem to you and me but It just things were just moving so quickly where they just wanted to grow grow grow. They just like overlook this but yeah absolutely. I mean if it wasn't going to be even if it wasn't even ask is going to be something else for sure. You know one of the epic battles at and draftkings had to fight was a new york For those what was new york's issue with regard to daily fantasy sports and it seems like it's still going on in the courts of new york. What's the status of daily fantasy sports in the state of new york. While you're exactly right. I mean that's sort of where the main drama played out Was in the state of new york in terms of because you know obviously the new york state is a big state and You know whether they were gonna be allowed to operate. The new york was really ultimately going to determine the fate of the companies. And what they What they're really you know. Viability was going forward. Eric schneiderman the attorney general for new york. Shut them down in. I believe it was november. Two thousand fifteen. Yeah he saw. The ads thing snowballed and his determination was back there. Was you know a few things. I mean the fact that certainly that these companies were pretty clearly sports. Gambling companies and sports gambling is illegal in new york. State That that was a problem but also the fact that you know what he actually targeted was the advertising and kind of these ads. Telling you and me that we actually have a chance to win a lot of money. In fact i have a really good chance at that when in actuality the odds are pretty slim. Because you know you're playing against people to know really know what they're doing the out they're just like really stacked against you so the ultimately what happened was that they battled the two did pay A settlement with the state and there was a daily fantasy sports bill that passed in new york So that was legal. In new york and in europe going forward so that was sort of dicey and that was sort of resolved in the fall of two thousand sixteen. But now you know. There is continuing drama i. I think that it's sort of changes every day in terms the daily fantasy. Now we're getting to really. What is the larger picture and really sort of the more important sort of story. Is you know sports gambling because now fans will and draftkings or sports gambling companies and really is about the legality of sports gambling in states like new york and states where it is currently illegal. It's illegal in new jersey draftkings and fans are thriving in new jersey. Because you and i can bet on our phones new jersey but But the question now is you know. How quickly are people going to be able to do that across the country. You mentioned sports betting and i found it very interesting in your book that you described the sports betting establishment in las vegas. How did they view daily fantasy sports that they see it more of a new opportunity or was it a threat to.

"The house they are they compost toilets. Or how do you have other compass. Dry toilets so in the beginning. When i started air being the river dan. I invested in a super expensive composting. Toilet it was like this. You know super nice model separate and it works really well but basically. It's just like having a dry composting toilet with lights on in the sense. You pee and poo in different areas. Yeah that's when i say dry. That's what it is so it basically like you just pee in one part number two and all the paper goes in another part. So it's it's really like the most basic idea when it comes to plumbing and it works really well and we still have the separate on the river dan but on the other boats we just have to to bucket system okay so pm one and then number two. The other was sawed us. And we buried the compost the the solids in the hoods and the p. We go and we put it in the woods as long okay so you just. It's just kind of a manual process. And do you ask yes to the guests have to do that. Or d- d you take care of that. No that's that's why we get paid the big bucks xactly. We will with european pu exactly but on the nelly we have like a a dry composting toilet set up in the forest because the the bodas is parked stationary on land. Okay so you just go off off the boat to use the bathroom got it. So these boats all have a little little outboard motors attached to them. Do you ever. I guess i'm guessing the only time you you drive them or or move them on. The water is when you're launching them and then bringing them to where you're gonna dock them. Yeah so the river. Dan has been park ever since we moved to their which is about three years ago and the nelly. We're we're gonna be driving down a little more because we won't leave her parked at at nellis all winter we bring her back in the fall so So when that when the ice freezes people can still come rent it. They park right beside her. So right now for the nelly we have an adventure option while it. It's it's not an option. It's an adventure. Pack is so you have to get there by boat. You can either rent a canoe or you can bring your own boats or canoe or we can give you a ferry ride on our pontoon boats to get to the nelly because it's only accessible by boat cool. Yeah that really adds a lot. I'm sure that mia he'll more remote more confident and sounds like there's no cell phone service to so you really are actually okay. We'll one thing that. I like to ask all of my guests. I know that you you have a plane to catch soon. What are two or three resources so this could be like books or youtube channels or you know. That has inspired you that you would like to share with our listeners. It could be related to building. Houseboats are tiny houses. Or or not as i was saying before. It's about the people you're working with. And so that's one aspect of just like looking so i used to work in a community organization and one of the guys on the committee. He brought this permaculture format for some kind of a business meeting and he said basically you look what's there you look at. What's there available on. Then just start with that. so look at. Who's in your circle and what the resources are on the information and then just see where you know you can work with that So i think just like you know networking skills. Communicating is is like a big part on this. I guess applies to any kind of answer enterprise. Yep and another thing is when you're doing something new like this Not many people are going to hold this idea. That's precious to nominee. People are going to be able to support that in the in the embryonic stage so i would just recommend like you know you choose people that you you really trust with your precious ideas. I share with that. Because you need to be able to let the vision grow before something is built and it needs to have time and you need to bounce things off people and see where it's going to take shape. Yeah so that's That's one recommendation. I have for anyone doing anything. That's a little bit outside. The box is is the like hold. It close unlike lee time to just state and when it's ready then you feel confident to to own it and to say well. This is what i'm doing an and when people say well. How are you going to do that. It's like it's okay. You don't have to necessarily answer the question but you know you still a little stronger than the thing is is strong enough to to to meet the resistance nice. I love that advice at any anything else before rio. No i really hope more people. Don't how sports and spend more time in nature. Yeah i think it's it's something that we all need and happy to continue offering the service. The people are. it's a huge asked for service. That's about it. I guess awesome. Well you've reignited my desire to build a houseboat so great I don't know. I don't know if it will happen but i keep looking out at that lake being like man. What a great place for a houseboat. So when i look around again good. Good touched. Awesome well Bonnie vanass thank you so much for being a guest on the show and safe travels today. Thanks for connecting with us already ticket reason by thank you so much to bonnie vanass for being a guest on the show you can find the show notes including photos of the river dan.

"You she can also be found working on a construction project of her own. An island meditation retreat font even us. Welcome to the podcast. Hello ethan thanks for being here This interview i feel like has been in the works for maybe years. Your hard to pin down. And i don't have very good phone reception at most locations. Yes you're actually. We're we're catching you in the airport. Because i guess better cell reception there. So i i really appreciate it and i want to jump right in. There is a video tour of your houseboat. The river dan that has been viewed over three point eight million times. I just want to start -gratulations on that. I would like to say. Congratulations to exploring alternatives on that. That matt danielle did an awesome job on the video and they have a great following of people so really kudos to those guys they have brought so much publicity about. it's awesome. Yeah that that they have been. They've actually. I'll link to interview that i did with them on this show a couple years ago. Now but yeah i agree. They are wonderful. People and their their youtube channel exploring. Alternatives is just a wealth of tiny house inspiration how has how has that affected. Has that affected you like having being that public or being out there so much on the internet. And i'm sure that a lot of bookings have come through people seeing the video but also because of our successor airbnb. Which kind of i guess. I'm not sure if it's really from the video. I'm sure it definitely helps But i think the video has been a lot around the world and not so much like people coming to visit this area of canada. But i think it's inspired a lot of people so that i'm really happy about. Yeah i mean as somebody who lives very close to a body of water You know i'm in vermont. Very near lake champlain. When i first saw the video i was like i want to build a house. Boat and put it on lake champlain. Four and then. I found out that it wasn't that easy to do here. From a legal perspective and also lake freezes and so you know it would be a seasonal thing but enough about me. So i'm curious you know but just just a little side actually. My boats are forced season. They stay frozen in the ice. They're built special floaters that that can handle the The impact of the ice and that are actually built for it. So it's possible. That's so cool. I agree it's possible Logistically but it's more finding or a place that will allow you to keep your boat in winter. You really have to be a pirates. Yeah there's there's not much infrastructure for Yeah or like a framework in in most municipalities rural rural municipalities. Anyway there's you know there's marinas and bigger cities but then you're living at marina west out rain bunch of doc neighbors. It's not the best. So i'm curious if you can take us back to before you built the river. Dan was this something that you did as an entrepreneurial project like you knew you were going to rent it out or was it something that you built thinking that you were going to live in it fulltime. Well i've built it as an entrepreneurial project in part but also just because i wanted to do something cool with the guy. I was dating at the time who was like a full on pirates. He had built these breezy boats. I wanted to have a connection with him. And i wanted to do something together. So great around that time. I bought a an island. And i had started the construction of the meditation center and i knew i needed some extra revenue to pay for the construction project so i had the idea of building a floating tiny home and i hired him in his crew and we designed and built this while they've really built it. I designed them. But yeah we had this awesome project together and so's partly because i was in love and partly because i wanted something i would earn some money and for me. It's always like wrapped up these projects that it's about doing things that i love with people. I love nice like that. So much and the the the river dan i will link to the tour on the show. Notes page it. Is it actually like it. It seems like it was made with such love like there are so many handcrafted details and kind of whimsical things about it that it just. It looks like it would be a really fun place to be with somebody that you love. Yeah we have a really awesome guestbook and it's fund to go in and read all the notes of the people who are so inspired saying there. It's really something special. Nice well Maybe you could just tell us to some basics about the river dan. what how big is it. How much did it cost to build. just come kind of basic stats star gas. So it's thirty three feet long. It's a two story. There's a sleeping walked upstairs which has five foot ceiling and it has some pretty cool designs to be able to move and be within the legal limits On the road. So there's like the roof drops down there's always features that we could've got we we were able to get it from the boatyard to the launch again under the wires and everything. Yeah so has some pretty cool design features in that way. Yes thirty three feet long. Ten feet wide There is a rooftop deck. We actually just had the week colin this last week. Calendar is blocked off because we did a whole re structuring of the roof and added on imports and others. The really big tamraz upstairs. It's pretty cool nice. I don't actually know how much it costs build. But i could tell you that. The floats were twelve thousand dollars. Roughly so there's five custom built floats. That are thirty thirty one feet long. Okay there the special floats at their built. All over the place contracts have How how deals with the manufacturer. Not make them so. We had ours from a company that was in combat care and yet the floats are pretty expensive. But it's like the foundation of the house so it's all relative right. Yeah and so you. Are these the floats that you mentioned a little earlier that they they are designed to be frozen and yes yes. So they're built. It's there's foam at inside it's filled with foam and then the outside is a bs plastic. Which is not actually enclosed. So there's they have the capacity to expand in the ice and water actually goes inside them and it kind of stabilizes things that holds things pretty steady in the water. Okay yeah i was. I was wondering about that. 'cause i'm i'm the kind of person you can get a little motion sick on a on a boat you know. Especially if it's really choppy. So so it sounds like this boat is maybe a little sturdier than than like a boat that you'd go cruising around him. Yeah i mean when you're in the boat it's pretty stable but when you're walking onto the boat from the gangplank all the weight is cantilevered so then like when you're walking on and off the vote moves quite a bit but once you're on the boat you're contained within the balanced point of it pretty much so yeah the center of gravity. You're close to it so it doesn't move that much. But in the waves it moves. Nick get the feeling like i've been on the boat all week doing the renovation and this morning i woke up in my bed which is not an imposed and i felt like i was still moving so if you spend enough time on the water you kind of have a feeling. It's like this motion in your body gets used to it and it's pretty neat. Yeah yeah exactly. I've experienced that feeling before. I'm not i've longtime ago. I was really into surfing and i remember like if i did a lot of surfing in a day that night. You know you're lying in bed and you feel like you're lying on that surfboard in the ocean.

And you know if you need to kind of answer at twice and talk about what you do for diy builders versus what you do for professional builders or maybe. Maybe they're both the same. Yeah yeah so it. Essentially the processes the same. We have see we started working with tiny homebuilders back in two thousand sixteen. Officially under tiny pacific was tiny homes. What we provide for people as harvey certification or park mall certification depending on what their needs are especially now with some jurisdictions warning one over the other We've been certifying traditional arby's for about forty years and we said about the process is probably the best adopted until we have an actual oath As far as what we do for. Diy we are able to guide the builder from their design process all the way through finalizing their bill and we have a couple of different ways that we can do this Usually we review their plans in the beginning. We will send them. I there they will get access to. All of the coats will keep track of their progress. Either ru brought books which was our old way of doing things or now builder which is construction management software.

"Of winter use so if you this would depend on where you're setting yourself up so Most places in arizona. Even the higher elevations flagstaff arizona. Which is an alpine forest. You can harvest rainwater year round because the as long as you have a large enough tank. It's five hundred. Gallon minimum capacity the tank. Water won't completely freeze Because you've got enough mass in the tank and its water. As long as it's on the south winter sun facing side of your structure and then you just wanna make sure all your plumbing is below. The frost line or insulated. So it doesn't freeze and you could just keep it. Simple of having a full port faucet valve on the tank that you you cover with ample insulation for your climate and then just make sure when you know whether it's gonna dip down you've got some stored water in the home as well right so if you have to wait a while for things to go out. You're not gonna run out of water fascinating. Yeah i hadn't thought about that. Just the i guess. The thermal mass of five hundred gallons of water and waters properties of you know t a lot of energy to bring it from a liquid to frozen that it would resist them freezing temperatures. Yeah and you could choose a darker colored tank for your winter months and then in your summer months grow or a build shade to cool it in the hot months interesting and could you say more you touched on this earlier. Just the water quality being And like the colder you can store your water. The higher quality it is. Why is that. Well just think of If you're checking out a pond or whatnot that It's cooler mountain water. You know upon in a in a mountain setting tends to be quite clear really high quality but then if you get too much hotter climate you're gonna find that you're going to have a lot more algae and whatnot growing in the in the water right day. There's a lot of other life That may not contribute to the quality of the water as it gets hotter yacht. It so i actually i. I have a little experience kind of random connection just a a a family member actually Owned an off grid house in the bahamas where water you know. The it was completely off grid. It was kind of cool project I remember they had. I think fifteen hundred gallons of storage or three five hundred gallon tanks and They did actually put a small amount of bleach in the tanks. Just to make the water just to clean the water. A bit is that. I'm imagining that as a permaculture practitioner. You probably are not an advocate for using bleach in your tanks. It it depends. It depends on so My approach is. How can i get the water harvesting system to naturally keep itself clean and filter impurities to the greatest degree possible. Before you know so. I can perhaps avoid a need for chemical treatment or mechanical treatment. So in in my book rainwater harvesting for islands and beyond volume one. The third addition. I lay out ten principles guidelines on how to design a system so that it will be largely self cleaning so simple thing is don't have a tank that allows sunlight into the tank. Because then you'll get green algae growth and at your inlet into the tank you wanna ideally have say arraign heads screen which is a screen box just below your downspouts as it exits the gutter that as a forty five degree angle on it so leigh leaves other. Organic debris insects critters Are all shunted off like a slalom slide and just the water enters the system. So you're you're keeping it clean from the get-go can start even before that. So when you're designing your tiny house or choosing one to buy or rent for to have you select a non-toxic roof surface so the design of your structure doesn't contaminate water. You wanna similarly select tank that this made for potable drinking water storage otherwise. If don't you might choose a a tank that could contaminate your water right so it just you know simple approach there. Keep a clean. Can the get go. Yeah so what would a non-toxic roof material be well. It's hard to find here. you know. Stainless steels great. It's quite common in asia But you can find other metal roofs. Australia's way ahead of us because they actually rate their metal roofing for potable water collection. I don't yet see that and us manufacturers of metal roofing but but on the whole You know you goblin metal roof. Good good way to go okay. Okay interesting so Sorry just ad campaign on the page. My website On the in the resources section. I list various roof options in those that are rated for potable water collection. So there's even some roof paints that are available. So let's say you have an asphalt shingle roof. You could over that with a a paint. That's made for portable water collection. Okay in what about things like you know bird birds poop on your roof Debris i guess the debris is gonna get shunted out from the the rain had but what. Yeah what about things like like bird poop or other environmental things that could be on your roof. Well metal roofs going to be solar cooking it. That's helping then. The rain had screen. I mentioned before. Then you also could divert the first flush of water coming off your roof to plantings instead of the tank so the dirty. Water that's caring. Whatever debris accumulated on your roof since the last rain is diverted away rather rather than into your tank and you can draw the water from your tank not from the very bottom but off off the bottom a little bit so you're not drying out the sludge of whatever makes it through the screen and his accumulated on the bottom of the tank. Just leave that on the bottom to act as a naturally occurring sludge layer which can be inhabited by beneficial life forms by clear algae which can actually help take and that's which That becca me an issue. If you're just going to bleed route you could be killing off some the beneficial life forms. That are helping. Clean your team as well as killing off those. It might be arming. so right. it's the It's the kind of scorched earth approach. Kill everything yeah. But there's worst scorched earth approaches than that. Okay okay So and i'll just add this to ravin bleaching all your water for all uses including irrigation of your plants. If you're for your tank. Why don't you only treat the water that you're using drink. Simplify the system that way. Yeah so only treat water for the needs. That need treated water right right. That can dramatically reduce the cost the size and cost system..

"From the twisting and binding of the medal then rate after winter so again after the most extreme winter condition you want to check those but again i would say all builders all timing homebuilders shake get away from the metal exposed away from the and i know you said i know it's called. It's more costly for the team but again think about that. That's that's almost an insurance investment. So again you know as insurance. We don't how stressful it is to deal with insurance companies.

"That i have no idea. What's inside that. Yeah yeah The one thing before before i forget For for any new build contracts right now the the cdc has moratorium right now on it It was extended. It was supposed to expire on the thirty first of december and then it was extended through the thirty first january. And although this seem so far afield from what the interview topic is what's going to happen. Since code has occurred there have been stimulus packages to the united states for us citizens with an income you know under a certain level evictions have been halted in in many many. I think across the united states at the end of january. There's likely to be another extension. Minor new president takes over. But ultimately there's going to be an end point where many people will go into the court system to be addicted. The only way that those people can have housing is through governmental tiny house villages community living those types of things. That's all underway across the united states right now. Many municipalities have already built the veterans armed services in tiny house villages. There are more going into place for low income families who've been evicted in municipalities. So the demand on not individual builders because probably those government contractors are different ripping. But your tiny house. Builder may come up against some obstacles because the demand for tiny house living is going to. It's going to snowball. As this year progresses. I think by june manufacturer tiny houses may exceed mobile homes in general just because that size of living is what the majority of the new people are going to need and whether or not. The market's going to keep up. I don't know but if you're looking to enter into a building contract right now is good to have a talk with your builder that if there's a delay that you know after you've made a big payment if there's a big delay have to talk about that because she needed commitment to finish that house your house whereas before that wasn't as big big concern but right now i think the demand is just gonna go through the roof. Wow so when. I hear you say that in my mind. I think that the what's going to get outstripped faster than the demand for the houses. Themselves is the demand for where to put them exact. Because it's already difficult to find a legal parking space for a tiny house in many places. Now you gotta look at both ways. It is true is hard to find a place to to put your tiny house. But if municipalities are opening up their tiny house villages to help deal with the eviction process. Now they can't discriminate against another tiny house village in that same municipality because they've already approved one in that location so it kind of has a boomerang effect you know the the local governments doing doing it for that the needy and the low income. How can they say that. The people who have a little bit higher income can't have a tiny house community in a similar location in that municipality is really you know the land values right now are exorbitant. But that discrimination factor is going to have to go away you know. It can't just be this city on their own terms. Once you get a tiny house village in town very hard to say. You can't have another tiny house village in that town and not meaning that most tiny home owners wanna live in a community. But i think it at forever negative. There's always a positive counter. It's just waiting for that for the positive one to percolate up. But i st the zoning issues to become really really hard in a month or two. But then they'll be. Localities will be sued for discrimination and they will have no defense once. You couldn't your own tiny house village as a town or city or a county. You can't say to a developer whether their local out of state or out of country you can't put in a tiny tiny house village here. That's that's blatant discrimination. Yeah and that's where it seems like. This has the potential to kind of break into the mainstream further than manufactured oems. Rv parks mobile home parks. Which which have a real stigma. Yeah yeah i. It seems that the tiny house tiny houses are so similar in so many ways and yet they're it's they're managing to kind of be considered by more people. The the the manufactured housing industry has become. I mean it has exploded as well. That's that's the irony of all of this. You know as as the tiny house movement has been expanding so has manufactured housing because people can't live in the concrete mansions anymore it first. We had the mortgage foreclosure crisis that pushed a lot of people into manufactured housing and the type of manufactured housing that exists. Now it's hard to tell the difference between the site house. The site built house manufactured home. Just like a tiny house. That site built mary. You can't distinguish that from cottage or a bungalow. Whatever word you want to call it. Essentially look very similar so as the tiny house movement has been expanding all these pressures on everyone from a monetary perspective the pandemic Made people think outside the box on all levels so the people who are being foreclosed on or moving are the people who are now becoming the residents in the upper end manufactured home communities the people who really gave up their homes but have income. They're now into the big. Rb in for portion of the public. Because they don't they don't care they just wanna travel in having fun and the income to do it then you have the people who are downsizing because they know the need to look their budget and they need to look at their income. Maybe they were a two income family now. There are one income family because the covid so they're looking to have a mobile home a tiny home on wheels so that they can go where the work gets you know so. It's kind of like a trickle down effect as the people the mortgage foreclosure crisis push people into the manufactured housing industry that kobe crisis has probably pushed people into the tiny house movement. Because in up to people if you had to be boys rain comes source and yet now you have one. That's a huge fifty percent reduction in your income. So these are it's weird talking to mobile home Whose whose trial attorney and putting in perspective all these massive crises et going on in the united states but they all lead to the tiny house movement in my opinion in because alternative dwelling units. I remember hearing and talk about that at the first convention. I wanted.

"True true. So is it reasonable. When you're you know. I guess you could say negotiating with someone over a contract. Is it reasonable to ask them to change something in the contract. I think it if if there's something say say the way the way you're paid at work you only get paid once a month. And they have a thirty day termination clause and you wouldn't be able to get another paycheck in say if they terminated you. You wanna make sure that you would be able to at least have a paycheck to move on and you could say. Would you be able to extend that in my case to forty five days i understand i have to get out but if you give me forty five days i'll have a pay check in hand and i'll be able to then have something with me in something to help me with the transition. There are exceptions to rules in communities by federal law in for the americans with disabilities act service animals. You know all those types of things so if you know you have a service animal and you have a small unit. You wanna go to either an rv place or any kind of plate site where it's no pets that can be an exception view. Would be saying to them. I need to have this animal with me. Performs a function for me whether it be emotional are true service and that landlord that leasing company would have to make the exception for you so those couple of examples of where. If there's a hard and fast rule you could ask for the exception and in the matter of service animal or a caregiver who's on age of entitlement to those exemptions by state and federal law got it. Yeah speaking of exceptions here. Where i live in burlington vermont and vermont. In general has a number of laws about leases and tenancy that kind of you know for example like in burlington. A landlord is not allowed to charge a higher rent for a pet. They can take a pet deposit but they can't charge a different rent for a pet though. Like do those laws if somebody does find themselves in a contract that is actually against the state law which which takes precedence like the contract that they signed or the the in the state that says well. You can't have a lease that makes somebody do. Xyz that's one of those situations where And i think it most states in the united states. There's usually a lawyer referral number an eight hundred number that you can call and there may be a nominal charge but if if you have a situation like that where you know you google the laws and burlington and it says one thing and you look at your lease and it says something else you. I would also google lawyer referral service because my firms member of that. And it's it's kinda like a pro bono service that would be a perfect question to pose sue somebody in one of those referral services to say. You know i'm attendant. The law says that. I see i'm being charged. Something different and then you know landlords or held to comply with the laws just like ten minutes or so you know there are ways where you can challenge that short of you know hole big lawsuit you know by getting some of that legal advice and do you offer or have a recommendation of where people can find like sample contracts. Like say. they're you know going to go live in their tiny house in someone's backyard and the person's like oh i don't really have a contract you can you bring me one or is it are there. Do these exist out there. And is there a good source for them i have. I don't know of one particular source but usually in any jurisdiction view go online and put in sample. Landlord tenant lease. You'll get a whole bunch and it's usually from law firms that our landlord tenant lawyers and you would be able to at least get an idea of basic terms and it's usually start date how much you're going to pay what the basis for termination is and if there's a security deposit and you would be able to just look at that framework and it doesn't really have to be much more complicated than that. So you know. I hate to say. Google is a source. But if you google that tight. Landlord tenant lease or sample lease. And it comes up with the law firm. At least that's a little more reliable situation than the way used to go to the library. Find something that said leases and you know. Pull out some antiquated your party. The first party of the second part document you know. It's a lot more available and accessible online now green so i also wanna get into this. We've been talking a lot about communities and kind of leases and where you're living but the other big topic is around you know entering into a contract to have a tiny home built for you. Yeah and i'm curious. What are some of the issues that you've seen in in that realm Probably the best way to tackle that is not having payments in sync with Like what the builders doing as far as the bill so it up like giving fifty percent down and fifty percent at the end without any steps in the middle to like for example You know a certain certain percentage or certain amount when the you get the floor plan. A certain percentage you know when the walls are up when the electrical goes in when the plumbing goes in so that it's not just one chunk of payment and you pray everything gets done until you make the second payment. You want a stair. Step that so that you get proof of what's happening with the first payment. The second payment the third payment and the critical factor is. There are a lot of people who don't even know what their electrical plan is in their house or the plumbing layout so that if they have problems with those types of those parts of that house the the contractor repair person that comes in literally have to take part figure out where the electrical system is. Or where where the junction boxes are. That may be the cause of the problem. So you definitely want to have the payments timed so that you're getting what you need as the owner to show that that work has been done and there are certification companies out there. That can do that. But you wanna hold them to the same requirement you know. They are certification companies. But you should be getting proof of inspections you know all along through that process. Not just you get certificate at the end that the home meets all the requirements be roadworthy and all of that all certification companies do things in a timely fashion through the bill. So you wanna make sure that your timing your payments with them as well with production of what proof of.

"With are i'd say they are slightly complicated but if you read them. You should be able to get the gist of what's going on that. That edwardian Kings english garbage in contracts went away a long time ago. If you see contract that has that in it. You're looking at a document that's probably twenty years old so those things should stick out. If you feel like you're in a you know a british play reading your lease agreement may be other things that are very old involved with that property as well so normally if you read elise you should be able to get the concept. And if you don't understand something you have you absolutely should ask. Whoever you're dealing with dinner into the contract what what does this mean. Can you give me an example. A lot of people are are uncomfortable. Admitting they don't understand and that's the easiest thing you can do for yourself as say. I don't know i don't know what this means in reply oven. What does that mean. Why why is that word. been here. i don't even know what that is and if they can't explain it to you then that's that's another red flag what is replenishing. That's where If you stay on the property and you leave your items there i would be able to detain those items and Recover not only my lot but was on that lot through legal action and you know it's a lot more complicated than that but it's a way to kind of if you put your things on my life i can retain them and then possibly sell them for value. Okay wow what are some things. What are some specific. Things may be that you've seen in leases for renting a spot in a community or a parking spot that are kind of red flags that you can share with our listeners. Who are maybe maybe there are people listening who are looking at least right now What are some things that you are like you know. Be be cautious of some specifics. You always want to look at what the condition start to terminate the lease. If the if there is language that it's terminable call it at will meaning. It doesn't matter what the circumstances if the landlord decides for any reason they don't want you on that site they can give you so many days notice and you have no choice but to leave in there would be you know a sheriff escorting meal off the property and i guess i should say what i always say you know. I'm licensed to do business as a florida lawyer. So when i answered questions. I'm trying to answer in generalities not to give legal advice but from my experience i can give a little bit of a template to people. Just you know especially with the building contracts. United that during the global Thea conference in other. So many things that you can do regardless of whether you're in the united states or or chill just to watch out for yourself and it's not that it's a legal requirement or legally sufficient for where you are is just common sense you know so. I always like to say that at some point during the interview. Excellent yes So this this interview is not legal advice. But we're hearing So on the flip side of that coin. I wonder what your advice is for not not necessarily like a developer or somebody who's setting up a tiny house community but but somebody who just as space in their yard who does want to wants to invite somebody to live there in a tiny house but they also want to be protected and want to not have a bad experience. You know what advice do you have there. It's it's sort of Like like any relationship. We have people residing together. There has to be a list of do's and don'ts it's just like gallows look at it like when i was a teenage ryan long list of don't and yet you know you're gonna pay your rent on time you're going gonna you know a follow the normal etiquette you know trying to have the band laying in a two. Am don't be driving your car fifty miles an hour into the backyard. Where your unit is you know. Just have some basic ground rules. There should be some type of ground rule about payment. If if if it's if it's a a payment situation or a service or lodging in as some people will do maintenance and errands and things like that to be able to have their unit in somebody else's backyard for example it just should be spelled out so that no one can can claim. I had no idea it wasn't supposed to do that or i had no idea was supposed to. You know pay by the fifth or you know. I was laid by the fifteenth. And it's really honestly it's common sense but when people were moving into somebody else's backyard like with an ada you. It's not going to be a situation where you're thinking. Clearly it's going to be desperation mostly in with kovin and the pandemic and all the victims that will be happening throughout the united states. People aren't going to have a whole lot of to prepare for that coexistence in somebody's backyard or in a tiny house. Bill leaguge whether it's public or private so that's when you really need is and sometimes good just to have a buddy with you if it's you who's emotionally having to give up your home to move to somebody's backyard in a small unit. Have a buddy with you to to be able to help you. Listen and pay attention to the details because that's when you miss a lot when you're emotionally invested in the situation and you have to get out and move in someplace else. It's just hard hard to hold on to all the detail. Yeah yeah. I can imagine where i. I can't imagine how stressful it would be to. You know be evicted. Be looking for a new place to live and then also need to actually take the time to read the lease and like actually scrutinize it. When you're in a situation where you're kind of in in real need of housing.

"Jodi has been council in thousands of cases involving these topics and has appeared before more than one hundred county court judges throughout the state of florida in trials and appeals duty gable. Welcome to the show. I thanks ethan. Thanks for having me your. You're so very welcome. And i've i've been i've been searching for someone just like you so thank you for existing and for being willing to come on the show We had We had an interview a couple of weeks ago with the reporter Frank alito that got a lot of responses. He's been writing about kind of some troubling trends in the tiny house. Industry of of people kind of getting ripped off by their builders And so i'm really happy to talk with somebody with illegal background in this area. Sure and i was just go ahead. I was going to say it's it's something that's becoming more of a trend lately. A i think gets from kind of misunderstandings from both sides of the equation. So it's great that there's gonna be some teaching yet you know and and kinda points to for both sides to recognize things. Start to go a foul. Yeah and that's you know something that that i'm not. I don't have occasion to enter into too many contracts these days. But what i've learned over time. Is that the contract is is helpful for both sides. It you know. It helps to create expectations for both sides. But but i was hoping we could just start with like are there parallels between what you're seeing in the tiny house industry and what you've already seen in the rv and manufactured home industry over the last twenty five years. It's funny when i started in in law in particular it was god. Nineteen ninety four and back in nineteen ninety four. No one wanted mobile home park near their site built house berry much like what's going on now at the tiny house movement for people who want to be on land whether it be a friend's land or even to establish a community a lot of the residential areas do not want that quote unquote campground Type situation near them. So is sort of history repeating itself on a smaller scale and the thing that i think You know being being a trial attorney and being in just this wide practice of landlord tenant law. There's so many small things that turn into big obstacles that had people known about them in the beginning they could've avoided so much time and money and angst and effort. So that's what i think can bring to the. This movement is a lot of the community based experience plus how there tends to be a little bit of snobbery to any new smaller sized housing from local governments and they promote it but at the same time the only promote it where they want it to go. You know like you can be behind the school but you can't be near the big site built houses because that's not where tiny house. Lots should be located that type of thing. So i'm seeing a lot of parallels and to a certain extent some of the tiny house people in the movement don't wanna see those parallels. I'm not saying anything that's happened in the mobile home industry or the rbm industry is what's going to happen with a tiny house movement. I think is a whole different situation and the timing is critical with what's going on with the kobe pandemic but to ignore what happened in those other types of housing situations. I think is just a big mistake. It's an opportunity not to repeat things that caused a lot of money. What are some of those mistakes that that ended up costing people a lot of money that that seen that you could say you know. We need to learn from this in the tiny house movement. A lot of times people will try to move their tiny house into a community Without being specific about the size the nature The transient aspect about their tiny home. They may enter into a contract with the community. And in that contract there may be default provision where unbeknownst to the person who owns the unit they become bound to pay i last and security deposit or fit all that money should they have you know normal life takeover in the situation where they have to vacate the property so looking at all the documents making sure any place that you decide to stay if you have a burble agreement. You're you're just at the whim of the landowner so you know having things in writing in making sure that your expectations are known by the by the other already whether it be a landlord landowner or a builder. You know. everybody has their idea of how things should happen. But if you don't have it in writing nobody really knows for sure. What the other person's thinking. Yeah absolutely and it sounds like you really have to read the contract. You have to read the lease and understand what's in there. We are so used to you know on our phones. You know privacy policy. I accept but downs. Like you're saying don't do that when you're when you're signing a lease for a parking spot or you're signing a contract to buy or build a tiny house i think some of the things to look for if the contract is twenty pages long is probably not a good idea unless that lawyer really had a lot of money on hand to to build that client to make the document. It doesn't take a whole lot of space to get the terms that are necessary for you to rent a space reserved space or you know. Enter into a long term agreement. It's reading what's there. That's the most important thing and just reading it not reading it putting your own spin on it. That's what that's what everybody's common mistake is. I wanna live here. I'm not going to see anything negative in these documents. You sign something that says. Yes i read it. I agree to everything and then six months later. If if there's a provision that's not in your favor ishai. I never read that. I didn't see that in that agreement. Are i think that's different is just you were in love with the spot. You wanted to stay there so you just kinda snuck through. It didn't really pay attention to you. Know just being aware of what you're doing reading the consequences. There's a problem and just doing that. Making yourself focus and then go enter the site and have a great time. What would you say to someone who would say. Well you know. I don't understand i don't speak lawyer i don't i don't really get all the legalese that are in these contracts i. I'm not even gonna understand if i do read it. Most of the leases. That i deal.

I wouldn't be doing my due diligence as a reporter. Also don't share the other side the builders side you know. We did reach out to alpine tiny houses that lindsay would work with. They did not mention by our business. I'll ever they did. Confirm that What happened is true but the company said that you know. The company was upset with how things turned out for them. But they didn't go into tell as to why or how and also want to say that you know the builders are humans as well trying to make a living and like i said earlier also that you know in any industry there are people who are upset Who are feel unsatisfied with the product.
