Dana Lashes of Surtruth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Hmm. Trying to figure out how to. There's a couple of things here. All right. First up, a Florida man was arrested after he, like a moron, decided to taunt

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd online. Grady Judd lives to make criminals lives miserable. And Lakeland Police Department, they said they had the back of Polk County. He posted online that the Polk County Sheriff couldn't find him. So Lakeland found him. And then they gave him over to Polk County. I love it. Not because he literally actually has a, he's like an accepted repeat, or he's a repeat offender.

And he said, they were challenging him. He goes, you all didn't catch me when I left my grandma's house today. You should have been, you should have waited longer because they went to go. server warrant. So they got him. They said yeah, challenge accepted, we got you. So they got him. And then they posted a photo with him

in cuffs and he's smiling and they're smiling. It's actually hysterical. Do you see the photo where he's like they're all smiling at each other? It was hysterical. But he had multiple felony warrants. He fought the law. And the law totally won. But yeah, they, and you know, he didn't

fight or he didn't resist arrest or anything. I'll give him that. He goes, maybe you're going to need a horse or your helicopter. Level up. Hashtag level up. Hashtag I'm gone, Grady. And they caught him anyway.

But I love how they all took photos with him. And he smiled. He didn't resist arrest. He went willingly. He's like, okay, you got me. You know, I guess game's got a recognized game. Okay. Let's see here.

Got a box cutter attack. We also, oh, I can't read this one. This one's I don't understand. A Florida man broke into a random house because he was trying to get away from his angry wife. Dang. Right? This poor man.

Apparently, a 44 old Fordman just snuck into a random house. He did not want to go home to his wife who was mad. And he broke into the house. He stayed there for several days. He cooked several meals and had a luxurious bath. A neighbor tasked with watching the house while the homeowner was away noticed. Like, there's some stuff going on. They said, there's a dude here.

your house making dinner and he just had a bath. It's like Goldilocks and the three bears, right? He just comes on in, sits in all the chairs and all that. So he didn't have any idea who owned the house, but when the police were asking, why did, how did this happen? He's like, I did not want to go home because my wife is very angry. He did not

want to go, like, what? I wanted to be like, what is happening to you? How bad is she? Right? Like, how mean is she to you? Oh my gosh. So, yeah, that's, you know, there's better things to do. We need a battered men's thing, because you shouldn't have to break in a somebody's house to get away from your angry wife.

Caltech, the PR 57. It is the latest from Caltech, and it is the lightest 5-7 that is on the market. And they accomplish this in a couple of different ways.

The latest in the John Wick series. Okay. Let me just get it out of the way. Some people are like, I don't know. Female action figure. First off, I guess you forget Ripley. Mm-hmm. And I guess you forget Sarah Connor. It is

very much in that 80s vein. I am, as someone who loves action movies, I'm not a rom-com girl. I'm actually horror and I love thrillers, murder mysteries, and I love action. And this is very much in the vein of Ripley and Sarah Connor. It is not like, you know, the modern day Mary Sue. It is not. And she's not a Mary Sue. In this film, Ballerina, directed by Lynn Weissman, my friend Taryn Butler, did all the gunfoo on it, Anna Da Armas. She was spectacular. She was a belief, she's an action

star now. She was spectacular. The stunts were spectacular. And I am really harsh on movies. I will not go to a theater and sit and see a movie unless I know I'm going to be engrossed by it because I can't stand being captive like that. I am such a fidget. I can't sit still. From start to finish, this was compelling. And they addressed the Mary Sue stuff early on, early on. They're like, this is not no Mary Sue movie. Okay. First and foremost. it's not she gets hit she gets hit a lot she bleeds i don't want to give anything away but let's just say john wick can still in a blink of an eye make her disappear there is a difference and it is well explained and it is done with respect to the audience they are not telling you to suspend all

disbelief and just uh you know uh and just embrace this full on they may it is believable and she is powerful and she is vulnerable and identifiable. So you understand the whole revenant concept to John Wick, right? The spirit of vengeance. It's one of the things that drives John Wick and makes him absolutely unassailable. And you see that develop in her. And it is a phenomenal thing to watch because it is expressed differently. John Wick had it. He dealt with loss and he had pain power him and she dealt with loss and has pain power her. And it's very, very, it is so artfully explained in the male and female. It is not woke.

It is not woke at all. So you can enjoy it. I mean, it's, you know, again, it's like a John Wick series. So there's people getting, you know, getting told right and left. Let's just put it like that. Oh my gosh. The stunts are fabulous. The soundtrack's good.

The casting is superb. I mean, you've got Ian McShane and Gabriel. burn in the same movie? It's just fabulous. And yes, Keanu Reeves makes an appearance. It's all I'm going to say. I'm not going to give anything away. It is a must see.

And I never tell you that. Rewoni Kinschen, that series, I said that was a must see. This is a must see. It is very, it fits imperfectly with the John Wick universe. It's part of that. There's so many different stories that they can tell with all of these other characters. It is so well done. You're going to let, go see it.

Go see it for this week. go see it next before it's out of theaters because it is well worth it and i think an adarmus is she is an action star she i i did not know what to expect with her but remember uh she was also in what was she in she not james bomb but she was in the movie with uh did she do a film with tom cruise or something like that yeah yeah yeah and she was good in that and i thought okay well i can i can foresee her being you know doing the action in this uh and it is phenomenal she does such a good job. The stunts are amazing. And when you think, okay, well, they can't get any more inventive with the stunts after, you know, John Wick, one, two, three, four. Oh, yeah, they can.

And it's fabulous. It's just really great story. And it sets up for a sequel. It sets up for a continued, I hate seeing sequel. It sets up for a continuation of the story. I loved it. I thought it was a great film. And, you know, I always go in and I harbor a little bit, you know, I'm like, let's see. It's fabulously done. And I think you're going to like it. But I can't say enough how much I appreciated how they addressed the female as an action lead, especially after we went through about two decades of nonsense, right? And this really gets back to what we loved about 80s female action stars like Sarah Connor and Ripley. The vulnerability, which was erased by third and fourth way feminism talking about women and action films

is absent here. It is very much in that old school spirit, which is one of them, reasons why I immediately loved it and they make that clear in the first like 15 minutes. It is so great. So I was so happy with this. This is a, this is a female, I would say, chaos neutral that you can get behind. I think that's the best way to describe her. So good, so good. My whole house loved it and my whole house never loves a movie all at once. It's very rare that we all do. And they loved it. And we all thought the same thing. And I, I have a house. of dudes, you know, and I have young men in my house that are very, they're very critical of, because they were raised with these Mary Sue kind of characters, right? And girl power and girl boss,

there is none of that in this film. So do not go in thinking that, oh, well, you're a dude, you may not be able to appreciate it. This is not girl boss BS. It is none of that. If you liked Ripley, if you like Sarah Connor, if you loved that vein of female action star, you were going to love this movie. I want to go see it again. I can't believe. I've never, John Wick is the only time I've ever gone in the theater to see the same movie before. Yes. Oh, I love action movies. I would see this in the theater again. Absolutely. It's that good. It is that good. Oh, my gosh. I so badly want to spoil one scene for you so bad because the stunt was so good. I'm the person who's like, in the theater. I'm so annoying. But I was trying to play it down. It's really good. So you guys got to go see it.

Ballerina, all the stars, so good. Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis legalized gold and silver as acceptable currency, meaning that Floridians cannot make transactions in gold and silver, thus creating an alternative to the U.S. dollar. So I guess all the inflation and national debt that's spiraling out of control, not to mention the recent credit downgrade for the United States, has finally opened up all lawmakers' eyes.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. Nancy Pelosi raked in millions last year. Her portfolio outperformed every large hedge fund with stunning returns. Now, if you think it's just because she's a savvy investor, I have a bridge to sell you. Same thing with Marjorie Taylor Green. Like she walked in there

with, you know, I think what, a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank and she walks out She's like currently has $22 million. Either she's the savviest investor ever or there's insider trading going on. Sorry, but that's true. I don't care how sanctified you think some of these people are. They are trading stuff out with information used that you and I would go to jail for.

Totally unfair. I think every single one of these rat bastards right or left has got to be audited because that's insane. So this is what I think she, they're thinking she made, listen to this. anywhere between seven or no sorry eight to 42 million last

year Pelosi is she just a savvy investor guys dude she would be she'd be richer than oh my gosh who am I thinking of the Nebraska guy I can't think of it stop it I don't care she's drunk every day she's drunk every day

she's not making those decisions she's just a savvy investor robotic surgery performed remotely from the United States on a patient in Africa now robotic surgery is not new, but remotely, that's pretty interesting. I think that that's actually kind of pretty cool. It was a robotic protestectomy surgery that was performed remotely from Florida on a patient in Angola, and it was an FDA-approved clinical trial. Telesurgery. That is actually amazing. And also think of all of the different ways that you could actually be training people. Like, you know, hand-eye coordination,

motor skills. I'm telling you, video games has been training people forever for the future. Forever. It really has been. Speaking of which, Arbytes is now out today, Dark Tide 40K. I will be nowhere near the internet tonight. I just want to let you know. I'm going to get all huffed up on like Mountain Dew Zero and I'm going to play Dark Tide all night. I'm going to be probably a high, I know it's professional lady radio. This happens once in a blue moon. Not even going to lie to you. New classes out. All kinds of new stuff. That is the big thing today. It's like Christmas for Dana, Christmas part two. Eight dead after a hot air balloon accident in southern Brazil. I will not get into a hot air balloon because we have invented

other ways to travel the air. Just like I don't pretend to be homeless, I'm not going to get in a hot air balloon. I don't find it romantic. I don't find anything about it. You know, nothing. No, it's not. Sweltering heat is expanding because it's summer. And everyone's like, oh my gosh, it's a heat wave. Yeah, because it's summer. and followers and such and your jersey selling out how cool is that for your yeah you know it's cool it's funny what kind of people are attracted to you know i'm just trying to keep the main thing the main thing is that's uh basketball trying to win games um sticking up for my teammates um that's all part of it i think all that stuff is it's fun and whatnot but at the end of the day we need to win some

basketball games you that uh you played in front of your packed house few nights back the other night the energy and so just go tomorrow you're on the los Vegas strip what you can be at los Vegas expect Oh, you know what? I'm just going to be me. I don't go in there trying to predetermine anything. You know, I'm dialed in. I need to focus on hitting my shots, making sure I'm executing the schemes right. I'm not focused on the extra curricular activities. And you know what? During that, it was just part of the game. I think the refs had a lot to do with that. It was a buildup for a couple of years now of them just not protecting, you know, the star player of the WMBA. And so at the end of the day, I'm going to protect my teammates. That's what I do. And I'm a team play. So, golly, can we just give her a medal already?

Jiminy Christmas. She's America's best friend. Sophie Cunningham, America's best friend. She is the new star, a new star in a WNBA. And like I said last week, all the race lesbians are all real mad over that. They're all real mad at her because they just did not want her. They didn't like Caitlin Clark. Now they're not going to like, you got all these, they got race hustlers involved that are mad about it.

Just play ball. Like all of the only ones that are. are like making this a divisive thing. Just play ball. This is not an issue. It's so simple. Just play ball. And that's what she, she,

she corrected a problem that was obstructing their ability to play said ball. Just saying, I can't like her enough. Her jerseys are sold out. I never wanted to wear, well, I did, I lied. I did a couple cards jerseys I had, right? But I never wore anybody's basketball jersey.

And I'm like, man, I'd wear Sophie Con. Honeyham's basketball jersey. That's America's best friend right there, the enforcer. She's WNBA's Tony Twist. That's right. I'm just saying. Love it. And she's all like, I'm just focusing on the game. They're not focusing on the game. The people that are causing, the ladies that are causing all these problems on the court are not the ones focusing on the game. And I get it. I think the WNBA, they're like, it's a double-edged sword because this is bringing them attention and they like it. But at the same time, is it best for? for your teammates to allow this stuff to happen on the court to that extent?

I mean, you're always going to have some. You're always going to have aggression. I mean, it's part of the sport. But to that extent is what we're talking about, right? To that extent. And the idea, she got fined $400, Sophie Cunningham, that apparently Caitlin Clark paid for. God love it.

Everybody was already like, we're going to go fund me for Sophie Cunningham. She gets fined and she got ejected. And the other, I mean, Sheldon didn't get ejected. And she just won't stuck her finger in her eye. How do you not get ejected for that? Did you see, I put it up on Instagram. Did you see that? There were two photos of that.

You can see how deliberate it was in one photo. And in the next photo, you see Sheldon Smirk. Yeah, how happy she was. So yeah, Sophie Cunningham. I didn't see, I didn't, that was fair play, what I saw. I didn't see none. You all see anything in that? I didn't see anything.

I just saw Sophie Cunningham playing ball. I don't know what you all talking about. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast. If you haven't already, make sure to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
