Who is Belle and what is the Thanksgiving Day Q&A introduction?
Well, howdy there, internet people it's Belle again. And welcome to the Roads with Val. Today is november twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. And it's our Thanksgiving Day special. This was pre-recorded to give people who may not have anything to do today, for whatever reason, a little something. We're going to go over some questions from y'all that don't fit in the normal schedule. No real news. Most of them are just kind of fun to fill the time in the day. Our first question. Was that black dog actually a German shepherd? Why don't you have her in videos? Yes, she is a German shepherd. I want to keep her up here with me, but she is a big girl, and y'all would hear her breathing in the background. It actually sounds obscene.
I think that she gets stressed when she can't see the kids, and there's no windows up here. So she is totally welcome to come visit, just not when I'm recording. And she does. She comes in and out. Next. What's your work routine like? It's pretty constant. So I get up before the sun comes up, we scan the news, add those news items to the running list, then we draw up scripts of any news that has to go out that day, and shuffle back the news that can wait. Then I record videos, check for breaking news around lunch, then I record more videos, and then I hand those off to be uploaded and scheduled. Then I have a little downtime. Then in the evening we check the news again and draw up scripts to go out. It is a never ending process, said
Then we have What's the fact checking process like? I've noticed y'all don't get factual errors. I never noticed until the conservative guy pointed it out. And I'm just wondering how that works. It is very tedious, but So Every script is read over at least three times before it goes out. Multiple people with their eyes on it limits mistakes.
Is the black dog in the background a German Shepherd and why isn’t she on video?
We also still subscribe to the idea that we would rather be right than first. If we need to make a call and get more information on something to make sure that we're correct. We simply bump that video back in the schedule. You can be certain that we're providing the best information that's available at the time it's recorded. I try to be really good about saying at time of recording for that reason. Next. Have you ever given any thought to public office? Nurse vet mom. That seems to be a winning combination lately. No, not really. I kinda think I'm more effective at the local level doing what we do and plugging holes in the system. Systems to include governments in their best case are designed to function for the bulk of people.
That by default leaves people on the edges out. I like to be there. You said you enlisted at eighteen recently. Did you have a break in service between enlisted and officer? Yes, I did. I went to college and then I did some contract work. Medical nothing crazy. And then I went back in. I'm assuming you're going to do the Thanksgiving Day Q ⁇ A like always. I'm enjoying the consistency and tradition. I have a weird question. I've been confused by something for a long time. And it's a weird thing to get hung up on. But it's like a plot hole in a favorite movie. Is the other guy in the survival video, the same guy who was doing relief with y'all after Ian? Or are they two abnormally tall men on your team? Or is there one guy who fluctuates in weight?
Two different abnormally tall men. But in a plot twist, one of them has fluctuating weight. They are two different men. And fun fact, one belongs to D. Okay. What do you think about the Mark Kelly versus Hegseth feud? You seem invested in the illegal order thing. It's just annoying to me that this has become a thing.
What does Belle’s daily work routine look like for creating the Roads podcast?
Everybody in the military knows they have a duty to disobey illegal orders. This is such a non controversial statement. What do I think about the feud? I think Hegseth is unknowingly in the process of making Kelly a future Secretary of Defense. He is permanently tying Kelly's name to the idea of a professional military. Next. Did you mean to make the plaid shirts part of your brand? Or was that by accident? Total accident. I wasn't really prepared for how important consistency is.
