Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. So a Florida man pushes this old, broke down Mustang in a desperate attempt to escape a trooper. Oh, boy, this Florida man dashed him footage from Florida Highway Patrol. Oh my gosh, that's his face. Dude. He's got more tats on his face.

some of my friends who have a ton of tats. Yeah. Did he put them anywhere else? Are they just all on the face? If anybody's missing, if you were like, if there's a shortage of tattoos, it's because this guy has them all on his face. So,

apparently the car wasn't doing so well. And the guy gets out. And because at first he, he changed his lanes and the trooper thought the guy was going to pull over, right? That's not what he did. He got out and started pushing his goal. like he was going to flee and push his car fleeing.

If you guess that this Florida man, there it is right there, Juan's showing you, with the unmistakable face decorations, if you thought that he got away, you'd be wrong. He totally didn't get away. I mean, believe it or not, it made it easier for them to arrest him. I know.

So he went to the pokey. that I can't even, ma'am. A Florida man who challenged, oh, this is gross, President Trump to quote, fight me naked to the death, is arrested. Why would you, why do you have to be naked? Right. Like, is there just...

Is there more nobility in being naked when you fight to the death? I mean, is there a heightened level of danger? I don't know. Kendall Aaron Todd, he loves having double letters in his name, clearly. A-A-A-R-O-N-T-O-D-D. And why do you have three first names? That's not right. You don't get three first names. Anyway, this guy, he made threats against, he's 42. He's 42. He looks like he's 60 something. Dude, hate makes you age, man. He was charged in St. Lucie County because he posted the threats online. He had a rambling 80-second clip where he said,

because of him every single person in the world is cursed. He called POTUS the Antichrist. He said that, he said, quote, Donald Trump has personally made business decisions which have hurt so many different reincarnated Jesuses, end quote. He was arrested. The county sheriff Richard Deltoro said that the threats were quickly flagged by Secret Service. And, you know, because the guy wouldn't stop escalating his behavior, he got the attention that he wanted. And they also challenged Trump to fight him naked to the death.

His bonds half a million. That's so. I don't understand these people. Also, we have the VN number. Do I want this one? This is a dump truck theft. I don't know. Can I just share with you this obituary? A Florida man is being remembered for leading a life consisting of Marlboro's fast women and Ford Broncos, which sounds like an ad for America. Gotta say. Arthur Nixon Bates. Tampa Bay Times published his obituary. He succumbed to his life of drugs.

That's what it said. He survived by his three daughters, none of whom know how they'll get by without their dad calling to ask for $20 for cigarettes and methadone. One last time. Oh, yeah, they hate me. Or hate him. They said that he still owes me 20 bucks. I would have given you marlboros.

He was cremated and his oh bit, well, it's a memorable one. There you go. It's brand new. The Keltek PR-57 rotary barrel pistol chambered in 5-7. Redefining the game with cutting-edge design and performance. It is the lightest thinnest 5-7 on the market.

It's 40% lighter than the next 5-7. The innovative rotary barrel makes it the lightest 5-7 on the market. It's built to perform and it doesn't have magazines. The unique top-loading design replaces traditional mags with stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile and a 20 plus one capacity. My favorite thing about this is that the left can actually sit clips and be right for once.

It's hysterical. And the MSRP is only $399, y'all. It is affordable for everyone. Mother's Day, Father's Day, regular days, all the days, you can get one. $399 MSRP. It's only from Keltec.

tell them Dana sent you. So this guy was in traffic. Oh, thank you. This guy was in traffic. This is audio Sunday by 24. We have a million. Everybody did a great job getting audio today, and we have a million soundbites. So that's why I'm like, where is it?

25,000? So this was a couple of days ago. And so this was in the middle of the road in Seattle. Of course it was in Seattle, Kane. Of course. And this dude, he's masked, like in his car. You drive her on masked? Okay, do you sure. He gets out. He follows this lady because she's driving a Tesla.

I want you to watch what happens here. This is insane. Angry because she was driving a Tesla. Driving a Tesla. I was thankfully about myself. Lee was on the way to a doctor's appointment in Linwood Wednesday morning when she says all of a sudden, a driver behind her just laid on the horn as they came up to a red light. Things spiraled out of control when a white SUV followed her. and cut her off stopping in the middle of the road. It's out and walks straight up to my door, window.

So I cracked my window, and I said, what is for the problem? He goes, you need to sell your car. This is a Nazi car. You're driving it. You need to sell your car. She says she's been driving a Tesla for the last two years. She says a man wearing a camouflage jacket and a ski mask attacked her for it. It's really sad that this is what's happening to people who honestly,

it doesn't affect how I believe or what I believe. She's driving a car and this dude pulls up and he's like, ma'am, that's a Nazi car. No, that's Volkswagen. That's what that was. Look at their history. And that's interesting. And laying off all, the leftists still driving today.

But I'm not saying it's still a Nazi car. Shut up. I'm done. They're going to get somebody killed. These leftists are going to get somebody killed. You had Jimmy Kimmel joking about it, about them being Nazis. and all this stuff just the other, just the other day. We played that audio.

And then you've got like audio soundbite, for instance, 28. Jamal Bowman. Listen to him go off here. And then people wonder where they're getting this, these invectives from. Listen. That's not true.

And this shows, again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how do we know? Because they fired tens of thousands of people. It was challenged in court. The court said the people have to go

back and now the people are coming back. He's incompetent. He's a thief. He's a Nazi. He's a Nazi? So how many Jewish people did he kill Jamal Bowman? Like let's like really drill down on this. Everyone I don't like is a Nazi. That's what the left is or everyone I don't like is Hitler. It's Godwin's law. They always go back to this well. If they can't swindle you with race hustling, then they're going to swindle you with this. What makes someone per se a Nazi for driving a Tesla? What makes Tesla a Nazi car? What makes Elon Musk a Nazi? Oh my gosh, I get that they all share the same brain cell, but who has custody of it right now?

I think that the person who's going on television talking about it should maybe get custody of the brain cell for that period of time. Then you can give it to the next person since clearly there's the scarcity of intelligence on the left. That's so stupid. What makes, why is that Nazi? they realize that Nazi Nazi national socialism they were socialists right and they were nationalists

and they were socialists what do you mean it's where that term comes from yeah this is it's insane and then you've got yeah here's Bowman saying Musk is trying to be the real life Tony Stark but a Nazi Stark listen

so crazy it's wise congressman so notice Congress Lola did not answer the yes or no question. Should this be concerning? Yes, absolutely. Elon Musk is trying to be the real life Tony Stark. No, he's not trying to be. He is, actually. All he needs is is is a super suit. No, he is. He's not trying to be. But that doesn't make him a Nazi. Just he's going through waste, fraud, and abuse and recommending cuts to our Congress. And the left says that that makes him a Nazi. Do they know what Nazis are?

Do they know what happened with the Holocaust? Do they know what Hitler believed? I mean, I feel like they do because they practice it within their own political ideology. But then they want to be, they want to pretend to be blind and not recognize it because they would incriminate themselves. So everyone else is the Nazi. See, if everyone else is the Nazi can, they can't be the Nazis. That's how that defense works. This is so stupid.

We are in the dump. I'm so disappointed by the Internet. I hate it. I really hate the internet. I think the internet is humans downfall. That's when everything started going downhill after that. And here's why. We thought it was going to make us super smart. And we would have all the answers at our fingertips. Research is so much easier, right? But now look at us. Everything I don't like is a Nazi. That's what the left is doing. Mouth breathing and calling everybody Nazis. You drive a Tesla that we liked two minutes ago, you're a Nazi. You got douchebags pulling other smaller women over.

on the side of the road coming out wearing their ski masks. Okay, juicy Smolier coming out, wearing their ski masks going up and aggravating. I'm sorry, they said she's a mother. She sounded like she's 10. She sounded like this. Super sweet. Driving her to little Tesla,

going to where she needs to go. And these guys, and they're doing this. It was in Linwood, Washington, outside of Seattle. Apparently, there have been several attacks on Tesla vehicles and store property there. And then it was on March 9th. They had several acts at a Tesla service center in Linwood. And that was the same city where this happened. How much you want to bet that the guy who pulled this chick over is one of the people involved in that?

They've been graffiti Tesla vehicles, putting swastikas on them, all kinds of stuff. Just crazy. Just crazy. The left is going to get someone killed. And I kind of, I have to ask now. Is that the point? You're mad that your spigot is being turned off. You're mad that billions of taxpayer dollars aren't funneled into Act Blue and Planned Parenthood and Stacey Washington's campaign and spending money.

You're mad that the spigot's been turned off and you're blaming the agency that we all voted along with this president to recommend cuts. Here's why I get so mad. I've had the left go at me six ways to Sunday just because I've defended Second Amendment rights. And they've called me a terrorist and everything else. These jack wagons are out there actually advocating for domestic terrorism and they're not condemning it when it happens. Every single one of them should be hung by this yoke. They all endorse it. Either condemn it or you endorse it.

We're going to play by your rules and by God it's going to be glorious. So either condemn it or you endorse it. Choose. Choose your story. We'll match your energy. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January 2024 consistently. reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs' research, the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me take action and why I've

bought precious metals like gold and silver. I've partnered with a great company that makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent, and simple. And that company is Goldco.

That's Dana likesgold.com. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.

I got to say, like for the first, at least couple bars of that song, You don't know if it's going to be vanilla ice or queen. You don't know until you hear, you know, Freddie Mercury going, you don't actually know. You got to wait. All right, so we got headlines for you. Oh, let's see here. You can buy pop-up panic rooms and bulletproof vests from a supermarket.

I'm just going to say pop-up panic room doesn't sound super safe. You know what I mean? That's like sitting in a tent for a... Huh? If it pops up, it pops down. Yeah, and it can pop up. over. You know what I mean? Like there's there's but now that's something that they're making available and of course everything decides to freeze because it's Friday and it's all Hitler.

It's what the left does right. I'm just gonna just say everything I don't like is Hitler. But according to this piece, supermarkets are selling these items in Germany. Reinforced bunker. It's not okay we're again if it pops up it's not reinforced. Let's stop. Their store is called Norma. It's a discount chain and Germans are worried about personal safety so they're panic buying. Where are you going, Norma? That's the name of their store. I mean, I don't know. We had a schnucks in St. Louis.

And our friends from Latvia would go, we'd like to go over the schnuck. The schnuck. This is hysterical. I love it. All right. So, that's, uh, me, first and foremost, uh, secondly, five men arrest. Oh, boy. Five men were arrested because they decided to have a twerk off in the middle of an intersection.

Yep, that's where we are. It's in Memphis. It was a downtown, Memphis intersection, supremely busy. WREG says that they noticed a Chevy Malibu stopped at a green light. Four men were seen twerking around the vehicle. One dude was dancing on the hood. And they were all charged with obstruction of a highway or passageway. They were taken to jail so it wouldn't happen again. And one of them got a warrant, had a warrant out for vandalism. And so they all look literally like a in-living color skit. Like the Wayne's brothers decided to do an in-living-color skit with Wanda featuring Wanda and that was

with Jamie Fox with Wanda. That's what, yeah. Let's see, a man was nearly electrocuted. He cut a copper wire and knocked out power in all of Northeast Philly. Maybe don't steal copper? Maybe. Because that's what he was doing. He was a would-be thief and he about damn near

killed himself. He's in his 30s or 40s. They said he broke into a transformer box by cutting the lock. Oh, this never goes well. High voltage wiring, guys. And it was still active when he cut it. And it caused a fire around the transformer box and a knocked out power for a half hour for a huge chunk of northwest or northeast Philly. Stick with us.

We got more in store after this. I can't believe it, but a game has made the entire country of Japan mad. Japan is mad. They're mad overall of what's been happening. And here's why. Because they decided to make the game stupid and woke to the nth degree. They've done a lot. to the point where the prime minister of Japan took a question at oppressor.

And this was actually just the other day, a couple days ago. He responded to a question about Assassin's Creed Shadows during an official government conference. And it's a feudal, it's in like feudal Japan. That's where it's set. Ubisoft is the company that puts the title out. and they are concerned about the depiction of shrines and other stuff and aren't they like replacing certain characters like like actual Japanese characters with like different totally other different minority characters like didn't they put like a a black character in a feudal Japan thing and oh one of them is gay now so probably you're going to have to sodomize some dude in order to get to the next you can't press a through that cut screen you just got to go through it I'm joking it probably probably probably probably probably not that, but maybe. I don't know. Is it that bad? You don't know. It could be. We'll go with it. Hey, the New York Times can do what they do. I can say that. Dems to rules. Are you all right over there? Diane? I might recover. Half of these people are on spring break. It's all right. They're not going to remember it tomorrow. That's okay. Ubisoft apologized a ton of times because they had to delay it. They had aspects of the game that we're making. There's like a million page thread on a subreddit that's just forever. and the

I mean they've been pretty I think Japan's always been very like they don't like stuff with a lot of crime and you know you got to be a you know just play a game have bad guys are bad guys good guys are good guys you know and and that's it but they decided that they were these the game makers decided

that they were going to make everything woke for some reason I have no idea why but you know that's the what they decided that they were going to do and now everybody is upset and the prime minister of japan they had ubysoft apologize they said uh you know we tried to acknowledge elements in our promotional materials it had to do with a a shrine that was in some of their promotional materials and uh they it was the uh it's assassins creed shadows

and the religious shrine and i'm looking at one of the stories there's like this this this famous gate in Nagasaki. And it was sort of like, kind of like the center of the atomic bomb World War II, all this other stuff. And the way that it is, the way that it's portrayed, the imagery, et cetera, is apparently like offensive in Japanese culture, long story short. And it's been viewed by many Japanese as being demeaning. And I think Japanese by and large, this is one of the reasons why during lockdown, I got really into anime and South Korean dramas because they hate wokeery.

I mean, I watched a, a, they really hate wokeery. It's, you know, that isn't absolutely just disallowed. And yeah, it was the main character, Yasuke, the main character, who, they rewrote the history of some of these historical characters to shoehorn them into a very woke, modern interpretation without, judging or without taking into consideration how insanely offensive that was going to be to Japanese and Japanese culture. This is when woke goes way too far. So now the whole country is upset. And I mean, I get it. They're very upset about it. And they said that, you know, this is not really so much of freedom of expression. It's demeaning culture, et cetera. And the prime minister said, how to address this legally is something we're going to have to discuss with the minister.

of economy trade and industry, education, etc. They called it defacing a shrine, etc. People are now questioning tourism. There's like all kinds of stuff happening as the follow-out from this and all because they tried to be stupid and woke with this game title. Why, okay, I have a question. Why did they got to make anybody gay in a flipping action game? Don't answer it. I really, you know what I mean? Right? Does it matter? When I play, literally, I, I, so, So in space marines too, I'm literally a black dude. And my whole, I don't care. Sounds like appropriation.

No, I'm being appropriated. I'm playing this. My character's a black dude. And he's a ass. He goes in there and he just blows everything up. He's amazing. That's what I was assigned by the game. I was assigned that by the game.

So I'm, I'm, I don't understand this idea that there has to be representation for everything because it's about the gameplay. If you're spending so much time getting involved in the character like that, then you're not actually playing the game. Because that's just like cosmetic. It doesn't, like the armor doesn't mean anything. You know, like your outfit doesn't mean anything. You get little chotchkes. You can get little adornments for your armor and things like that, like in Space Marines 2 or in, Oh my gosh.

I can't even think of it. Warhammer, Dark Tide. You get like little things that you put on your rifles or all this that you win if you have a good game, whatever, good session. And it doesn't actually do anything. Like the characters, it's just like a fun aside that makes it a little bit more believable. But you know you're playing a game. The gameplay is the gameplay, right? The story is the story.

I don't understand why they have to add all of these stupid, woke elements into it. because I actually think that distracts from the gameplay. And I just think that if you are and like one of our contributors over at chapter and verse was saying that particularly with this character, Lady Oichi, she is apparently like this very well respected, you know, historical character. She's like the symbol of honor in for women in Japanese society. and they portray her in this game as being nothing but like an skank. That's a big deal.

You can't be doing storylines, especially when they have when they're, you can't do storylines like this. You can't disrespect actual historical truth and you can't disrespect canon. I have no idea what they're doing. I haven't played, like I said, I haven't played this title in a long time anyway. I'm definitely not going to now. But these games need to stop. It's like with borderlines.

Borderlines got so bad. one of the last ones that I played, they had one of the, not a boss, but like one of the leaders, the protagonist that was supposed to be on your side was an actual unicorn called Butts stallion and barfed rainbows. I'm not even making this up like that.

Did you ever play that one, Kay? It was so woke, it was unbearable. Unbearable. And then there was like a trainee general. I can't play. The gameplay was great. The open world concept was great. The design was great. The weapons were cool, but it became absolutely unbearable. Oh, the movie was heinous. I would not have cast the way that they did, but it is what it is. So that being said, one of the reasons why people, this is such a big deal is, this is the last frontier of unregulated, and by unregulated, I mean non-woke expression and activity. And that's one of the

reasons they're targeting it so bad. Everybody left games alone because they thought, oh, this is where the nerds go. But a lot of people play. I play. I mean, casually, I'm not a pro. You know, I have a pretty sweet setup, but I do console, not PC. Because I grew up playing PC and I'm like, I'm always going to do console because I'm a grown lady. And I did doom and all of that stuff on the piece. I would sit at my desk in high school and PC and I played everything under the sun. So I'm not going back to those days. I want console. But it's cat. And I like it because it's fun. It's like a hobby. Everybody's got different hobbies. You play a game on your phone. I don't like playing games on my phone. It's stupid. I'll play solitaire on my phone. That's it. I prefer going on console.

I just think it's fun. It's enjoyable and it's a nice hobby. And it's one of the reasons I, another reason I like it is because it is an escape from all of that stupid stuff. It's like no matter what you do anymore, whether it's sports, whether it's entertainment, music, there is always some injection of you can't get away from it. The insufferability of wokeery. You cannot get away from it. And this was one of the final places where you could go and you could actually get away from it. You didn't, none of the stereotypes from modern society apply in gaming. And I think that's what makes it so attractive to so many people. And it's fun. I mean, you, you are, it's literally a merit-based, how would I say it? How would a way of socializing in a way?

Wouldn't you put it like that cane? I mean, if you suck, then you suck. And you're going to have a harder time. But they're targeting it so much. And Republicans are dropping the ball. They are not paying attention to this. And they should, although I will say Musk has been talking quite a lot about it. And I hope that more people in the administration talk about it because this, now me looking at this in a purely Machiavellian sense, is a totally untapped market of voters. What are you doing? Oh my gosh. It's a totally untapped market of voters. And by and large, these are people who just want to be left alone and they want to live their lives and not be meddled with by the government. That makes them natural allies.

You realize this, right? Because that's what we all believe, right? So this makes them natural allies. So I really wish Republicans wouldn't discount gamers or these big blowups that they see. Don't ignore it because it literally is the last Wild West. And they only just realize that, oh, this is an area. of a society that we haven't messed with yet. And now they're trying to.

That's what GamerGate kicked off. Gamergate was all of that busting out into the open. And so don't, even if you don't play games, maybe your kids do or maybe your grandkids do. And these people are natural allies. Don't think that they're nerds in that because they're, again, I literally, I will never give you. I'm not giving you my gamer tag, but I play and I'm like, I really enjoy it. but not everybody is, you know, maybe it's a nerdy thing to do, but it's fun. Don't discount it.

It's a great, I mean, this is a great way to get out there and do, like, you know, voter outreach, but not the goofy way that Tim Walz does it. They sat down and tried to play, and you knew that these people I never played nothing in their lives. So I play, if I, because I can hear your questions. No, I don't do sports. I don't play sports. Because if I wanted to do sports, I'm going to go and do sports, right? I'm not going to, sorry, guys.

Sorry, I'm not making fun of you guys over there. I'm not going to, you know, like mad. I know a lot of you all are in a madden. I don't do that. I do like a horror, first-person shooter. That's what I do. So we got a lot more on the way.

I could spend the rest of the hour talking about this, but I figure the hate mail will start coming. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
