I know this happened 3 years ago, but I'm still glad that things went smoothly. Everyone deserves basic respect. It really is that simple.

I know this was 4 years ago now, but I can't believe that some of the employees were so disrespectful. It would have cost the employees nothing to read his order from his phone. If they were afraid of breaking his phone, the employees could have used a pen and paper.

I know this is an older vid, but just wanted to say, I have seen ppl out n public signing, and I might look for just a second out of curiosity, but then go back to whatever I’m doing, I personally think it’s rude even tho I don’t know sign language, I don’t want someone to feel uncomfortable 🤟🏼

Is he actually deaf?

disrespect is wild

Im not completely deaf, but partially deaf. When i went to check in at a hotel in Tennessee, i was really struggling to communicate with the receptionist. The receptionist did not understand my struggle and was getting visibly frustrated with me. It's important that customer facing employees receive the proper training on accessibility.

SIM COMM is hard!

I would have asked does that mean there are never any fights about what music to play on the radio during a long drive 😂

instead of earning languages from other countries in school they should teach kids how to sign

Were you born deaf or you got it when you grew up? Just curious. I love you guys so much ❤❤

I'm so proud of you sign duo ❤

Y’all’s videos bring me so much peace 🥹 I’ve been watching since 2019 when I started learning ASL. Unfortunately, I stopped taking classes after graduating college and becoming busy with work and life, but this channel still brings me so much peace and comfort. It inspires me to keep going and keep learning. I even still have the ASL alphabet hoodie! Love y’all! 🤘🏻

stays on cold beach for 3 hours “i get cold easily” true sigma

i'm 12, but i learned a bit of ASL cause when i was 9/10 there was a worker at forever 21 who was deaf, and i felt horrid that i couldn't communicate with her

I've watched many of my fast food staff give an earnest attempt to communicate with deaf, blind, and mute customers without any training what so ever. Some of them 16 years old. That restaurant and any you go to that treat you like that are embarrassments to the restaurant industry.

I have hip and knee problems and people always think I'm limping for attention. Even something as small as that, that isn't really considered a disability, makes you feel picked on for being different.

I have never seen Java this energetic before. I loved her energy so much in this video. I forgot how beautiful your vlogs were. The beach looked really pretty. ❤

Such a nice vog! The ambience shots are great, and Java seems to be great too 🤭. I'm happy to see you guys again! 🤟

4 years old, wow. I remember the video where you guys got her! Time flies by! Great to see another vid!

3:43 I think I heard the puppy’s name is “Java” and he/she was so cute sleeping in the back

I've never heard of this beach, thanks for sharing!

How is Java four already?! That's crazy! I remember when you guys got her.

I can think of a few reasons why not.... (And before anyone goes after me, I'm deaf, but was raised hearing from a very young age, forced to go through speech therapy and wear HAs and am now having to go without, so let me explain) 1. Hearing aids of all kinds, especially cochlears are expensive. And while many deaf children are on Medicaid and can have them covered, once they get to the age of 21 in most states in the US, they are no longer covered. 2. The upkeep on keeping your hearing aids up to date as technology changes, gets harder for some to keep up 3. Not everyone can use them. Even cochlears don't work out for every deaf person. In my situation, mine stopped working. And while I was finally able to get cochlear implants at the age of 24, two years later, they stopped covering after 21. And believe it or not, not all deaf people sign. Like I mentioned earlier, my family never signed. So therefore, I was the only deaf person in my family and they thought it would just be easier to make me adapt to their life, rather than the other way around. Personally, I feel it shouldn't be up to anyone to get hearing aids until they feel ready. Otherwise, immerse yourself into the deaf culture you were born to be part of. A life I wish I had from my family. Just so hearing folks know, it's fine if you want your kids to hear like you do, but for the love of all that is good.... Learn sign language with your deaf children. If you're going to have them be part of your world, you need to be part of theirs. And there is no such thing as "I don't have time" Google is free, there's apps on smartphones that are free... You can learn at any time. Which is what I'm currently having to do.

I love that you put each other first, it is the ultimate thing in relationships. Keep choosing each other!! And when it feels right and genuine, we will be here. Y'all are awesome and I missed you, but so SO glad you were taking that time for the right reasons. Glad to see you're both well!! 🤟

I really want to learn ASL because of you guys I want to be able to connect with as much people as I can

😘🌹🥰👍🏼🤗❤️

Aww Java is so big now!

I love watching your videos! I don't understand sign language well, but enjoy watching and trying to pick up what you are saying, and then I rewatch with subtitles to see if I was understanding your video. Most of the time I do get what you are signing. I would love to learn sign language, to add to my languages I understand, but which version of sign language to learn is the hardest part. As a New Zealander, I've often thought about NZSL but then there are more users of ASL (American), and I guess many signs are similar across English speaking countries, but I'm currently in Asia, and so have thought about learning SL for Japanese or Korean as well. There are so many to choose from. Which sign language would you recommend starting with and how different are the signs in different countries? Have you tried learning sign language for another culture/language?

Very nice video 😃😃😃

You should have informed management so they can provide better training for their employees. Or you could escalate it to Mc Donald's Corp and maybe change it across the board.

So good to see a new video guys, definitely a lovely update!

Balboa Park is really cool...one of my favourite parts of San Diego.

I love Pitbulls. Such a shame they get a bad rap.

My home town! Hope you're having a great time! How long will you be in SD?

it's great when dogs discover the beach and the freedom to run and splash around. Most dogs are unsure of it all till they get used to it. Then it's struggle to get them to leave.

I love your channel I just can’t watch this video bc of the popping ❤

Water therapy! Happy the three of you got out and about. How long before Java learned ASL? 👋💖

I am very glad that you all 3 enjoyed our city here in San Diego, CA

Yesterday I discovered this channel through one of y'all's drive-thru videos from a few years ago and decided to learn how to fingerspell! It came to me very easily and I plan on continuing to learn ASL :)

It’s funny to see Java run around in the water. 🐶

Loved seeing Java play in the water! What a good girl! Thank you guys for sharing! ❤❤❤

In a World that is constantly distracted - watching you two and your communication style is a breath of fresh air-thanks for sharing your journey with us-

Welcome back on KZbin! Java is so beautiful dog!

So I’m currently starting to learn asl for a kid I para with. I’m trying to understand stand asl sentence structure. Do you guys use asl sentence structure or just sign in English sentence structure? It looks like you are using it in English structure. Is that very common? I just wanna make sure I am learning in the right way and just learning online and only 10 mins with my students asl teacher on zoom doesn’t give me the opportunity to ask all my questions. I been getting frustrated because I just can’t get asl sentence structure down.

I remember in the first month of my first job, a deaf man came in for cigarettes and immediately motioned that he was deaf. I waved to say hi, and pointed to the ones he motioned towards and we got it figured out and i had known "Thank you" in sign language thats all. It had been a long time since I had learned it so I was scared I was remembering completely wrong. I remember him signing thank you afterwards, and i just thought YES I KNEW IT so i quickly signed it back and he smiled as he walked away. I always hoped i did a good job, everyone deserves kindness and accomodation :/ its a shame some people dont try

I miss you guys,, Java is happy dog.. Thank you for tag us along beautiful town .. stay safe always sign language 🤟

Love to see you guys back again! You mentioned u struggled to get back into vlogging in the last video. I have some easy-going ideas - hope these help ❤😊 1) Make a bi-weekly podcast - just talking about everything & anything that's trending - it would be lovely to watch it being signed out 😄💯 2) Review coffee houses / food places - More inclusivity for deaf community❤️💯 3) Short videos - quick shorts on how to sign words in Sign language (seasons of the year etc). Hope this helps & please reply. Much respect! Much Love from England! 👊😄❤️💯

It's so hard to watch ableism. It doesn't matter what condition it is, people find a way to deliberately bother you. I think it's because they think that you can't fight back. I'm in a wheelchair, I've had people randomly grab my handles and started pushing me (that's kidnapping) I've had to actually strap a pepper spray to my wheelchair. People have rammed me with shopping carts because they want me to not be in the same space as them, people have shoved my wheelchair to get me out of the way also, which can break my fingers if trapped in the spokes. I've had people speak into my face very loudly and slowly because they think I am stupid. I've been followed around by people because they think I've stolen my mobility device from someone because I don't look disabled or old enough to need one. I've had people laugh and mock me for asking to open the door into the restroom because I can't open it alone. I've heard people talk very badly about me. I've had people bend down and speak to me like I'm a small child. I've been stared at by people in restaurants to the point I felt unsafe. I've had people park the hood of their cars so far onto the sidewalk that I couldn't safely traverse the area. People take my handicap accessible parking constantly so that I can't safely leave the car and go anywhere. People have RAN in front of me to get to the handicap accessible restroom before me even though it was my turn, and other stalls were free. I've been kicked by a someone who was hellbent on going through a door before myself instead of waiting 10 whole seconds. (This really hurt) Sorry that they're coming after you too, it's so harsh when we're already dealing with enough as we are in general. Lots of love.

Java is so sweet! I hope to have a pitbull one day.
