 Wait, wait, all he was looking. Okay. I was like, this camera does not pan as easily. Look at that. Look at FJ. Are you gonna chew on your bone to let everybody know that that's where that noise is coming from and not for me? Okay. Oh, look at that. Okay, let's do this. So my name is Benicia. I'm the Community Outreach Specialist for the Pasco Sheriff's Office. Been here three years. Hello. Today I am bringing you a five things video and like an intro to the channel because you guys actually saw a press conference on this pair, Deputy Stritt and K9FJ. Like last week, just to give you guys like a timeframe of when this is actually being filmed, but we're gonna sit down and actually film with them today because we've been waiting for this for quite some time. Our schedules have not lined up. When individuals work night shift and you don't work night shift, you gotta make it work. It's a really long intro. Here they are, the stars. We are here. That was really funny. Okay, we are here. Boom, Deputy Stritt, but not Matt Stritt, everyone. Gary Stritt. You guys have actually met his brother in some other videos in passing way back in the day with some SWAT videos. I wanna say that was the main thing but that's like what some of the first videos that I did, because who knows where your brother's been now? That doesn't matter. Yeah. He's always gives me anything. Doing his thing, right? I'm just saying that like sibling rivalry or anything? No, no. No? No? I'm an only child, so I just, I get it. Of course not, we don't have anything. No, of course not. And your brother's and you know, boys and that whole thing. You can even see him. He's, I feel like this time we should give some facts, do your five things, talk some about FJ because I realized last time with Sergeant Burge and Deputy Bairoff, you guys were like- I wanna be spelled Burge's name wrong on the YouTube title. Wait, who spelled Burge's name wrong? It's Berg. B-I-R-G-E. B-I-R-G on the YouTube video, ice green shot of it. Wait, did I not put an E? No, there's no E. There's no E. Oh gosh. There's no E. But in the past, I realized that I didn't talk about the canines enough, apparently, even though this is supposed to be a five things video about our deputies and with some info about our canines of, I mean, let's start off with FJ. Okay. Yeah. FJ is from the Czech Republic. He just, I actually just turned two last month. Thank you, hang on. He turned two last month. He just turned two last month. August 2nd is his birthday. Happy belated, sweetness, happy belated. He's like dad playing with me. I'm pretty sure that the girls probably, not girls, our social media coordinators who are completely mysterious to all of you, gave a shout out. I'm 100% sure. Did you remind us? I don't know. I don't think I have. I was like, there's like 22 canines to remember. There should be like a list. I made a, have you seen the whiteboard in the other room? No. With all of the canines on it and the handlers? No, we need to put something where there's like a reminder. I do. I do. Every day. I should put it in my phone just like I do my friends, right? Because her babes are friends. Right. Okay, so he's from the Czech Republic. He's two. He loves water. Like, he loves water. Like one of those, like if you put a hose in front of him, he'd be like, probably looks so. I've never tried that with him. But when we did the water training, he swam back out to the dock like two or three times. He just kept wanting to go back out to the dock. I love this. Yeah, he loved water training. He lives in the perfect state then. I feel like that's 100% sure. Every time we track around water, he's always like, especially, yes, he loves water. Cool. He'll sometimes kind of go out of his way to kind of. Stay in the water a little bit. Like go through the water. I see you, friend, I do. His very first catch was actually in swamps. Really? Yeah. Waste deep water he swam. Huh, no. Ooh, coincidentally, speaking of water in swamps, I will also be filming the canine trials, which is this evening, which has also been highly requested. And that's like a portion of what you guys do intentionally for those that are trying out. They swim through, because it's pretty common here in Florida. But I mean, if you get a pup that loves it, do you love it just as much as him? The water? Yeah. I feel like the water is. Okay, okay. What else do you have? I'm not a big fan of the beach, but I like the water. Really? You prefer to be on a boat or just not the space? I would rather be in a boat. Okay, okay. Rivers and springs. I like to go sit in tan, I burn, I don't. I understand. And then sand. I love all sounds of the water, but I do understand the difference. If there's like a football or something, that's fine. Exactly. If you don't have to sit there and just stare, you're like, I'm baking. Sunscreen. Sunscreen is my best friend too. Yeah, 100%. What, I feel like, okay. Sometimes you guys comment and say, what is he mixed with? And I know you guys can't see him, but he's at our feet. Our feet? Oh. He's at our feet playing around. It's been such a long day. He's at our feet playing around and chewing on his bone. He's so content. I'm not going to disturb him whatsoever in any way. No, no, no, no. We're just gonna insert clips of him later on, because our followers are needy and greedy and they love the K-9s and I understand that. But, we can't have that. So he's not mixed with anything. Thank you. He is 100% Belgian Malinois. Really? Yeah. There's, when his pictures and stuff go online, there's always comments. He looks mixed. He looks like a Malish chef or he looks, you know. Nope, just full. He's Belgian. Here, let me see. He's straight Malinois. Maybe. Can I see you some now? I'll see it. They can, kind of. Oh, look, you guys can see him. But he only wants his bone. He only has eyes for two things. His handler and his bone. Yeah. Oh, and I guess crime, I guess. Bad guys? Yeah, exactly, taking a bite out of crime, you know. I think, I mean, that's normally what you guys mainly ask, like, what they're mixed with, how old, where they're from. Yeah. Give us some five facts about you. Like, let's. Yeah. I hate snakes. I don't like snakes. I would have to say, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, I agree with you. I do. I think they're, they can be very beautiful from afar, from afar. I think, I don't know, there's something about them, like, holding a snake and like the muscles that you can feel and you know, no, okay. No, no. So spiders are snakes. If there was a snake in this room, I know we'd have to evacuate and burn a place down. 100% we'd have to, burn the whole thing down. So then would you pick spiders or snakes? That's. Like, what? Like, that's what that, I don't know. Like, if you had to eliminate one or the other. Snakes. Really? All day long. Snakes are alligators. Eliminating, I like, I like, I love alligators. Baby alligators make the cutest noise I have ever heard in my life. Okay. I'm not, alligators are not alligators. Were you born and raised here? Yes. Okay, I feel like that is for most of us. Yeah. We don't bother them, they don't bother us. It is what it is. Mm-hmm. What else? I kind of segues into number two. Yeah. My favorite college, football teams are alligators. Okay. Okay. Respect it. Like, die hard, born and raised. Did you, did you go to school there or have family or like, you just love, and it's not just because you look good in blue and orange or something? No. Okay. I mean, blue. I agree, you have to say blue. It made my eyes move. Blue, my eyes. Mm-hmm, that part. Because I've heard that before, so. Okay. I don't know much about sports, but if you say they're a good team. They're the best. Cool. I feel like everyone comment below your favorite team or if that stands corrected, it's that time of the year again. I'm just there at the parties for the food, honestly. It is what it is. Be honest. College football is the best though. I agree. I feel like that's the one thing I do agree on because I feel like there's more of like a passion or like a indulgement, more so than like professional sports. I don't know, I just feel, I don't know. It's just, you know, what's number three? Give us another. And this is actually the first time that I've never heard someone's facts before a video. Yeah, we did this before. Ever, yeah, none of them. Can I put them in his box? I'm sorry. Number three, John Blake here. We can just put like time, something to fill time, right there. Oh. It's time filler. Okay, what is number three? I have no tattoos. None? None. I feel like that's kind of rare nowadays. It is. That is, that's really rare. Have you ever had the desire to get one? Or, and you're just like, eh, I don't want to sit there? So from time to time, I kind of browsed through like different ideas. Yeah, I'm like, oh, maybe. No, I'm like, no, I kind of like being different and not. I like that. No shade to anyone that has any. I do. I still make it one more day. Yeah, exactly. That's really interesting though. Especially after the shooting, I kind of have one after like an idea. Yeah, mm-hmm. Oh, something. Okay. I have no tattoos. Please, I mean, I know you've waited a very long time to not get one. So I feel like from all of us out there to you just don't be basic. So, you're gonna spend the time and money. It would be unique. Yeah, very unique. Okay, well, have you ever had the desire to have piercings or have you ever had the ears pierced or no? Did your brother? No. Huh, maybe it's like something in the strip. Look, maybe. Do it now. Okay, number four. So I just learned like maybe two weeks or maybe a month ago, I guess that. Another language, nope. No, no. I bought this. Apparently cargo shorts went out of style. I had no clue. Yeah. I had no clue. Cause I still see people wearing them. I'm like, wait. I saw no one. No. Yeah. There was an article on Google or something about how they went out of style. I was like, wait, they went out of style? Yeah, I just wanna say just because you guys see someone wearing something does not mean that it doesn't sell. But also it can be your style, you know? Everything comes back, everything cycles. Yeah. Everything. I feel like they're making a comeback now. You don't think so? I don't know. I don't wanna say yes or no. But, ooh, wait. Don't mind us. We're looking at one of our new stations that just pulled up that they're getting sound about another case. So we're just trying to figure out if they want our room or not. Or if I have to move. Cause they're not getting sound with me. Awesome. I almost missed that. Okay. Cargo shorts. Wait, so let's go back just a little bit. Let's just dive into cargo shorts. Do you still have multiple pairs of cargo shorts? Yeah. Okay. It doesn't. Apparently everyone that knows that it does. Not you. Not me. But I have, like I have, I walk around sometimes and people will be like, or mainly females will be like, oh, those are the Kim Possible pants. And I'm like, what? But they're just like, they almost look like your BDUs but they're a bit tighter at the ankle. Like they're that green color, like you know Kim Possible, right? I remember the name, but. Gary. I thought that I really paid attention to growing up. True. Disney orange red fire hair. She was like a spy or something. The hamster. I remember like, I never watched that. It's a bummer. It's okay. She was great. Call me, beat me if you want to reach me. Wait, you want to pay to me, it's okay. I don't have cargo shorts. But as long as, so do you have any of the pants that like zip off into cargo shorts? Cause then it's just a done deal and I'll end the video here and just, you know. No, no, no, and I've never, I've never had any. Never had any? Okay. So then we're still good. We're still friends. We'll keep this going. Okay. What's another fact? I don't even know what number we're on, but just give us another one. I have two. You have two, give us. There's something I have to get, I have to get on the date. Yeah. About the sibling rivalry thing. Okay. Get it. I like this. Okay. Here for it. My, so I have sideburns. Okay. And I've had them since high school. Okay. I don't, I refuse to get rid of them. I don't know why. Is this like a- I grew them out one day and I was like, that's kind of cool. I kind of like it. I've had them ever since. I don't, I don't. I feel like that's a trend too, but like you have to stick with it. Oh, I do. Like not everybody can grow sideburns. That's why I still have it. Oh, oh. Is that, I'm trying to figure out where this is coming into play with your brother. That's probably the sibling rivalry thing. I think, because Matt sometimes has some really intense sideburns too. Yeah. Well, his look different because he's got a different color here. So it looks darker. True, the dark brown, true. Hmm. Do you guys have like, who can grow them out longer? Well, I guess you can't really do that working for the, sure. Okay. Sorry, Matt. Yeah. It is what it is. He said it first on video, so obviously it's true. Right. Obviously. I wish I had a photo of the two of you next to each other just showing your sideburns and then we could just be like, vote A for Matt, vote B for Gary. Maybe one day. Like, no shame, November. Yeah. Something of the sort. I'm going to bring something like that for you guys. Maybe one day. But I got to get permission to grow that girl. That is true. Because I can actually, so I actually have a picture. I don't know if I should share it with you or not. You should. You should share it with me. Doesn't mean I'll share it with them, but I love knowing them. At my nephew's birthday, I had a beard one time. Okay. And actually, it was the last day I could have the beard. And I shaved it. But I shaved from here down. So my sideburns went all the way over. And connected. And I left. And I left to go to tea. Just for funsies. Did you wear your cargo shorts at the same time? I probably did. I feel like it's a look. I feel like it's a look. It's a great picture. Because you can see like a little bit of like an American flag and an eagle. And I got a towel around with like glasses. And it's just with a little pattern. Kind of like a little bit in the picture. After he was looking like, where are you going? My dad's just speaking the truth though. Like, love him regardless. Exactly. He doesn't judge me. No, I, no judgment. It was just, I'm out. Sorry, this is a situation. That was a lie. Guys, I feel like that was one of my more fun things. I love this. So there's one more thing. One more thing. One more thing. So I have to settle this. Since it's going to be on YouTube. Yeah, it's going to be on YouTube. Growing up, there's a story between my brother and I. We had a swing out in the backyard. Okay. A tree swing. Yeah, like a tree swing. A big tree swing. Oh, I always wanted one. We were out there swinging on it one day and I was all in the swing. And as I swung out and came back, for whatever reason, there just happened to be a porcelain coffee cup out there. I don't know why. But my brother threw it at me and hit me in the head and knocked me off the swing. So to this day, he swears up and down that it was his turn, but it was not his turn. I just think it's like the record straight. That it was not his turn and that it was my turn. On the swing. On the swing. Matt, you might have some things that you need to work on. Wow. Rude? Wow. Insert rude. Yeah. Boom. How rude. Someone. Something. I'll find it. That's, I'm sorry that you had to go through that just to enjoy. You never had a chocolate party. You're not older? No, I'm older. Oh, okay. He's the younger one. Yeah. He's, right there, it tells you. Yeah, it tells you why. I feel like I'm the oldest, middle, youngest in-betweens, all of them. I'm really sorry that you had to go and live through that just to enjoy your time on a swing, on a tree swing, none other. Just trying to have fun. Exactly. Can't play nice. Who would do such a thing? That's fine. You siblings do that on the regular? Is that what it's like to have a sibling? Oh, yeah. Like, wow. Wow, I still want one. That's fine. FJ's gonna fight him for the fight. Oh, is he gonna be in the fight too? Yeah. Okay, now tryouts. You have to get in the fight too. Which I've done. Hard, pretty good. Okay, now tryouts. I did see that again. I remember that again. Yeah, we don't need to talk about it. So, if you want to, no, or don't, if you don't, just pass on by. You can just like this video. You can comment and subscribe if you'd like to. FJ. Hey. Come on. Hey, come here. You want to make an appearance? Yeah. FJ just looked down at his bone so quickly between his dad and bone. Like, I don't want to get up. Like, FJ, are you gonna say bye? He's like, I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Like, he's here for this bone. That's what he's here for. But look at that. Oh, you know what? He does, since he's a Malawa, he does this thing with his jaws where he snaps his teeth. Yeah. Wait, I want to see. They want to see. He won't. Oh, you won't do it now? He may or may not. I don't know. He does it randomly. That's interesting. That's another thing. Oh, like that? Like that? Yeah. So at home, he does that on his own. Like, he'll walk around the house. And just like snapping his jaw. When he's playing, when he's playing with us, he'll do that. Yeah, all day long. That's so interesting. It's like snapping your fingers, basically. Sorry. I guess it's a Malawa thing. I love that. He's also, isn't he the only full Mal that we have? Okay. Okay. Cause I was like, we have one mix. No, we have a couple. So Buzz, Buzz is mixed. Oh, but Buzz is new. And then like old school. Buzz counts. Yep, Buzz. Sergeant Bird with an E. You totally matter. Bird with an B.I.R.H. You count. You totally matter and count. Sergeant, Sergeant, I got both of those. Awkward. I bet you won't find it now. I bet you there's an E on it now. Who, I don't know, there's a couple of her. If you guys also think you know that, JR, you can't tell them all. If you guys think that you know it all, comment below and I'll send you something. Cause I feel like I haven't done a giveaway in so long. So I love one of my bosses is speaking kids. Guys, I'll stay tuned for the next video. Thanks for following along with us. He's awesome. So is FJ. You'll see more of him later. Have a great night. Bye.
