Starting point is 00:00:00 Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. I am really mad at this dude. A Florida man was arrested Tuesday because he shot his neighbor's cow multiple times because he was angry that it had jumped over his fence. It was a two-year-old calf that had at least five gunshot wounds. She had been shot in the chest, the abdomen, or the guts, the rear legs.
Starting point is 00:00:32 everything. The animal was lying on the ground, struggling to move in a lot of pain as the deputies approached, and it had to be euthanized. And the cow's owner said to his neighbor, Hung Trin, T-R-I-N-H-54, was angry. Oh, man, and he used a 22, like an absolute pansy. Hung Tren, major Florida man pansy, used a 22 to go and shoot this calf. So he's charged with animal cruelty. I personally think he ought to be dragged behind a truck, but that's me. A grand theft of a commercial farm animal, according to the sheriff's office. And I'm glad that the sheriff, Carmine Marseino, went hard on it and was like, we're not going to tolerate this. Because it's a farming community, number one.
Starting point is 00:01:20 I mean, there's a lot of cattle ranchers in this area. And I like the way police handled it, but this infuriates me. That's so ignorant. That is so ignorant. It jumped your fence. Oh, use your little, use your little sissy boy, 22, to. go out and handle the cowly uh let's see oh man bites dog dog bites man coyote attacks florida man and a shocking junkyard incident i'm uh it's a i can't get this to open of course of course it would
Starting point is 00:01:48 yeah we're gonna have to probably have to i don't think we're gonna be able to get this one yeah well i can't get that either because yay yeah safari i know anyway but i'm mad about the guy that So the coyote, he attacked a Florida man, shocking junkyard incident. It was on Tuesday. And the guy was going about his usual routine. And he saw this like disoriented, rough-looking coyote. And it wandered into his lot. And then it just lunged at him.
Starting point is 00:02:16 He said it, he goes, it didn't just bite and run that it held onto his arm. And they had a call for the, you know, wildlife, et cetera. But that, I mean, that sounds rabid in those instances. They didn't follow up on that, but I'm sure that they checked it out. They're mad because they have a that Starbucks baristas who are picketing because of a dress code. I'm trying to understand why they're upset. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. And that's right.
Starting point is 00:03:09 What are the, what's wrong with the uniform? Nothing. Like what are they, I don't understand. They said that they're, they're protesting. testing the dress code per AP because it requires them to wear a solid black shirt and khaki black or blue denim bottoms. And then they, under the previous dress code, they could wear a broader range of darker colors. They said they want their green aprons to stand out. And a Starbucks workers united said the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining. Starbucks, they said it has
Starting point is 00:03:49 lost its way. Instead of listening to baristas who make, oh my gosh, are you, instead of making, listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what it is. Wait, what is the Starbucks experience? Hold up. What is the Starbucks experience? My favorite is the names purposefully not being right, which I think is a gimmick. Do you ever see the thing where the guy was like, my name is Mark with a C and they put Kark on the cup? Yeah. And like, like, what else? Like when you wait for forever for your overroasted beans, right? Is that what it is? Or, I mean, I'm just curious. Like it's, I don't know. I don't get it. You're, it's, you're serving coffee. You're a barista. When I was a waitress throughout college, I had to wear like darker slacks.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I got a uniform shirt, but I had to wear dark colored slacks and dark tennis shoes. I could not wear bright colors. And I went with it because that was the rule. Businesses have the right to go. we want to make sure our branding stands out. And if you don't like it, dear sweet heavens, go get another job because it's amazing. There's so many coffee places in the United States, Cain? There's so many coffee places in the United States. It's not like a heritage thing.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I have to work at Starbucks because my grandmother worked at Starbucks and her grandmother worked at Starbucks. You make a coffee. It's very simple. somebody goes Customers don't care what color our clothes are I don't care about hearing someone bitch About having to wear a certain attire
Starting point is 00:05:27 To make coffee I just I don't care They said that they're being criticized because they Sell styles of Starbucks branded clothing That employees can't wear And Starbucks said it would give
Starting point is 00:05:44 Two free black t-shirts to each employee When it announced the dress code That's what I got when I worked at Hula hands Oh I did I was slinging that Tady soup I worked at hula hands. I had to wear black tennis shoes and they were not the attractive kind. They were like nursing home tennis shoes and black trousers and I had like a maroon shirt.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And it had to be long sleeve. I can't even wear short sleeve. My stuff had to be long sleeve and it had to be a button down shirt. That's what I had to wear. It was really unfortunate in August. So the apparently fewer than less than one percent of Starbucks workers are even participating in the strikes. I'm just, I'm sorry. This is such a first world entitled.
Starting point is 00:06:22 rat problem. Can you, is it possible to, I don't want to protest. I just want to make fun of people in a picket line style. Can you, if someone's like doing that for this, can you just make fun of them while they're doing it? Like, oh, I'm so sad. I don't get to wear what I want to wear it work. Man, how do you think doctors and nurses feel? And they got to wear scrubs to operate on brains and stuff. Wow. You're making coffee. Now, if you don't like it, you can go work at Duncan or I even know what their uniform requirements are, or a million of these other little coffee places. Do you think it's like a bragging point? Wait, here's a question I have.
Starting point is 00:07:03 This ought to be, honestly, like a Christopher guest documentary called barista. I just came up with it right now in my head, where it's like Bestin Show that made fun of dog shows and Parker Posey was in it and it's hysterical. But it's like for barista. So is it, and the reason I am asking this, is it because do they view being a barista? at Starbucks is like snooty. Like, oh, you work at Duncan. I'm a barista at Starbucks. Is that, Steve, you're a millennial.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Is that a thing? Do you know anybody who's a barista? Is that literally look like that? I mean, it's a fancy word for a coffee house employee who literally pulls espresso. You know what's funny? Is that the only people I know that are still working that type of job
Starting point is 00:07:49 look exactly like that? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, is there, I would be more, I don't know, like I just, I'm wondering what the specific complaint about the dress code is because they haven't stated it. They said, we're against a dress code, but they haven't stated what about that dress code is unpleasant or whatever it is they're standing against. It's not what we want, Kane. Right. That's literally all they're saying.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah. I don't get it. I, I, they don't like long sleeves, like they don't like black shirts. They haven't said anything about what the dress code is and what their actual objections are. They're just objecting to the idea of a company having a dress code. This is a waste of time. So barista is based on, it originated in Italy. It's like, you know, it's a, it's a person that makes the coffee, right?
Starting point is 00:08:41 And it's, it's an Italian term. And I'm sorry, but I've been to Italian coffee shops in Italy. And I've been to Starbucks. what you're doing is not the same. It is not. Don't sit here and try to sell me the stale-ass lemon pound cake and your over-roasted beans and be like, no, I'm a barista. You're pulling coffee.
Starting point is 00:09:06 It's not the same. It is not the same experience. I mean, I would like to think that some of the actual baristas that are in Italy, like when they're pulling espresso, if they think it smells bad or burnt or stale, they're, I'm not serving this. You don't even give us an affigato. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Oh. So mad. I have to wear these clothes to serve coffee. So less than 1% are protesting. You cannot make fun of this stuff enough. Good night. And they're mad about it. And I'm, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Clearly I'm missing something. I apparently, I don't know. We all are. I just think that there's maybe, I don't know. Like it's, they said that, yeah, it should have been collective bargaining. Shut up. go work somewhere else then
Starting point is 00:09:55 I can't man okay so sidebar because this really puts me in the frame of mind I've been watching this sci-fi show basically about an alien invasion I don't really like watching a lot of TV but it has to be engaging and if your first
Starting point is 00:10:11 60 seconds isn't good I'm not watching like if I take a bite of food and it tastes bad I will spit it on my plate and I will not eat it I'm like you know life's too short you know what I'm saying like if I had bad coffee I'll be like this tastes like Satan made it and I'll slide it back over. Anyway, so I've been watching
Starting point is 00:10:28 this show. It's called the Eternot. And it's, is it on Netflix? I can't remember. Yeah, it's on Netflix. It's an Argentinian show based in Argentina. So there's subtitles. Never do a dub, ever. Dubs suck. They're horrible. But the show
Starting point is 00:10:44 is called The Eternot. And it's non-woke at all. There's no woke, but it is so good. It's very brilliantly done. and my kids, one of my kids in particular, because I was talking about like, man, if this was happening, I would already be like a warlord and I would have all this like shut down and I'd have a gate and I'd have blah blah blah blah blah rolling out and like people are resources, you know, harvest and you know and my son was like you're not allowed out of the house.
Starting point is 00:11:14 And I just, this makes me want to fast forward into that world, right? all the asteroids, smod, everything else. Let's just get right to it, right? But this kind of stuff. It puts me right there. I'm like, this stuff wouldn't fly. Like, if you're, if, if, it's not enough for you to be concerned about during
Starting point is 00:11:35 Armageddon, then maybe don't get upset about it right now. Right? I feel like that's a pretty good measure. Use the Armageddon yardstick. Are you going to be mad about this if you have, if you're dealing with an alien invasion and a pole reversal? Because if not, shut up. Armageddon Yardstick is a dope band name. Dude, right?
Starting point is 00:11:57 That is actually a pretty good band name. Now that I think about it. But the Eaternot is fabulous. It's so good. It's such a good. Oh, it's so good. But anyway, I'm like, I could swing that. I mean, sure, I'll fight aliens and whatever.
Starting point is 00:12:08 I could hang with that. But at least I won't have, you know, people complaining that they have to wear a certain kind of shirt while they're pulling coffee at the Starbucks. would you want somebody like that making your food? I don't care about the attire of the person who's making my food. I don't either. I don't care what a company is a little dispute they have with their people.
Starting point is 00:12:29 I just, why is it $13 for like a regular, you know, I don't get coffee at Starbucks because, you know. It took me like two visits to figure out the difference between Venti and Grande. Because Grande is supposed to be large. That's what Grande means. And then Vente is only 20. and it's like, uh, that's not very large.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Well, you're not supposed to have that much coffee. But Venti's the largest. Like nobody drinks. Like, that's, Starbucks made giant,
Starting point is 00:12:56 you know, garbage sizes, like normal. It's not supposed to be like that. Like, your coffee should not be cold by the time you get to the end of it. That's bad.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I agree with that. That means you've been given too much, and that's stupid. But I always like more coffee. I'm not against, then you can have several different shots of it. I like espresso or just like an Americano. I want it black and bitter like my heart.
Starting point is 00:13:17 save your stupid sugar and your milk that just reduces the intensity. Nay. So anyway, I could not get over that story. I was fascinated by that, and I absolutely had to share that with you. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's our friends over at Keltek, the Gen 3, Sub 2K, a folding half gun. It's very cool. And it's in 10mm now, which a lot of people, like myself included, have been waiting for.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Keltek, a great American company, and American parts, It's American labor. More companies should be like Keltech, and they've raised the bar with this new third-generation. Sub 2K folds fast. Optics stay in place. Deploys just as fast. Innovative. The rotating four-in, twist it, fold it down, 16 and a half inches for super easy storage and
Starting point is 00:14:04 transport. It also takes Glock mag. You've got a 15-round, standard 15-round Glock 20 mag. Got a lot of capacity for whatever you need. They even have a drum available, 50-round drum, you know, for fewer reloads, more patriotism. And internal buffer for softer recoil, lighten 5-pound trigger pool. It got rails up top for accessories, M-Lock, integrated. Really cool.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Great for anything. Home defense, camping, church security, backpacking, whatever you want, it's perfect for it. And 10-millimeter. Learn more at celticweapons.com. Innovation Performance, Keltec, www.com. Tell them Dana sent you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
Starting point is 00:14:43 So apparently bald dudes are bringing back the toupee. Well, women get extensions. Man, let me tell you something. You don't let abroad make fun of you for wearing a toupee. Because these girls out here getting like five foot long extensions put up on their head. If they're not getting extensions, put up on their eyelashes. So you know what? You don't get no heat for that.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Take that to the bank. But they are bringing it back. I would imagine, too, that they are much nicer than they were like when I was a kid. Because when I was a kid, it was very obvious that somebody had a toupee. So they said that this is a New York Post piece. and they said that men are bringing them back. I also thought dudes were doing, like, the hair plugs or whatever. Maybe, maybe not.
Starting point is 00:15:24 But yeah, two pays are coming back. They're coming back again. An ancient reptile footprint has upended theories about when animals evolved to live on land. There was a little short that Monty Python had one time, where they took, like, this bone of something and fabricated it into a completely made-up animal and put it in a museum. It was a little, one of their little cartoon breaks that they had for Monty Python, And it makes me, these kind of stories make me think of this every time.
Starting point is 00:15:50 It's a 350 million-year-old fossil. And they said it shows characteristics similar to that of monitor lizards. And it's been in Australia, 350 million years ago, they suggest is when it emerged. But they think that animals developed the ability to live on land faster than previously assumed. I actually don't really care about any of that. I mean, I think it's interesting. But does it matter? Oh, was it a billion years earlier or not?
Starting point is 00:16:15 Does it change where we are right now? I don't know. Oh, this is really gross. Chimpanzees actually use leaves. It's gross but not. They clean themselves. Like, that's nature's tissue for them. The leaves, it's nature's tissue.
Starting point is 00:16:30 They've been studying them, the horrible left wing rag that is called The Guardian, said that they did this study on all of these chimpanzees. Have they always done that or is that new? I would have meant. I mean, leaves have been around forever. What? The leaves have been around forever. but like them using them to actually groom themselves with a leaf.
Starting point is 00:16:50 It's kind of, I don't know. It's interesting. Air traffic control hotline between Pentagon and Reagan, Washington National Airport, that's been broken since 2022. I think that might be needed. They said that it's supposed to be for coordinating aircraft, and it hasn't worked since March of 2022. They were not aware that the drive.
Starting point is 00:17:14 recline was broken until a May 1st incident when a helicopter circled the Pentagon and caused two flights to abort landings. I feel like they need to get that hotline fixed. So wait a minute, Poot Booty Juice when he was Secretary of Transportation, he didn't know that? He didn't do anything about it. He didn't do anything about it. Sean Duffy gets in there and he's like, oh my gosh, what is happening? So he immediately remedies it. But what the hell was poop? Oh, that's right. Poot Booty Juice had just bought some children and was pretending that he had birthed them in the hospital when he took months off for maternity leave. That's right. That's right. The DOD also maintains the hotline, but the fact that you were not able to coordinate any of that air traffic and you had that issue happen. That's pretty crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I read this when I first read this. I thought it said to Fish Cemetery. I said what? A Fisher's Cemetery employee. He got charged because he dug up a grave for a gold ring. Sounds like an old tales from the Crip story. Seth Davidson 24 told police that he buried an urn with a gold ring in it and couldn't stop thinking about it. And so this is an Indianapolis. He apparently dug it up. He graved robbed. We don't do that anymore.
Starting point is 00:18:24 We don't grave rob. We haven't done that since, well, hell, I don't know. At least 100 years. We don't grave rob anymore, but not this guy. There were reports of a suspicious car in the area, and that's what tipped off police to find him. Goldco is making it easy to take that first step toward protecting your savings.

They're mad because they have a that's Starbucks barista. who are picketing because of a dress code. I'm trying to understand why they're upset. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you. And that's, right? What's wrong with the uniform? Like, what are they, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:20:12 They said that they're protesting the dress code per AP. Because it requires them to wear a solid black shirt and khaki black or blue denim bottoms. And then they, under the previous dress code, they could wear a broader range of darker colors. They said they want their green aprons to stand out. And a Starbucks workers united said the dress code should be, blah, subject to collective bargaining. Starbucks, they said, has lost its way. Instead of listening to baristas who make, oh my gosh, are you, instead of making, listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what it is. Wait, what is the Starbucks experience?
Starting point is 00:20:59 Hold up. What is the Starbucks experience? My favorite is the names purposefully not being right, which I think is a gimmick. Do you ever see the thing where the guy was like, my name is Mark with a C, and they put kark on the cup? Yeah. And like what else? Like when you wait for forever for your overroasted beans, right?
Starting point is 00:21:22 Is that what it is? Or, I mean, I'm just curious. Like it's, I don't know. I don't get it. You're serving coffee. You're a barista. When I was a waitress throughout college, I had to wear like darker slacks. I got a uniform shirt, but I had to wear dark colored slacks and dark tennis shoes. I could not wear bright colors. And I went with it because that was the rule. Businesses have the right to go. We want to make sure our branding stands out. And if you don't like it, dear sweet heavens, go get another job because it's amazing. There's so many coffee places in the United States, Kane. There's, I There's so many coffee places in the United States. It's not like a heritage thing.

They said that they're being criticized because they sell star. of Starbucks-branded clothing that employees can't wear.
Starting point is 00:22:40 And Starbucks said it would give two free black t-shirts to each employee when it announced the dress code. That's what I got when I worked at Hula Hans. Oh, I did. I was slinging that Tadie Soup. I worked at hula hands. I had to wear black tennis shoes and they were not the attractive kind.

Wait, here's a question I have. This ought to be, honestly, like a Christopher guest documentary called Barista. I just came up with it right on my head.
Starting point is 00:24:06 where it's like a best in show that made fun of dog shows and Parker Posey was in it and it's hysterical. But it's like for barista. So is it, and the reason I am asking this, is it because do they view being a barista at Starbucks as like snooty? Like, oh, you work at Duncan. I'm a barista at Starbucks. Is that, Steve, you're a millennial. Is that a thing? Is it, do you know anybody who's a barista?
Starting point is 00:24:37 Is that literally look like that? I mean, it's a fancy word for a coffee house employee who literally pulls espresso. You know what's funny is that the only people I know that are still working that type of job look exactly like that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, is there, I would be more, I don't know, like I just. I'm wondering what the specific complaint about the dress code is because they haven't stated it. They said, we're against a dress code.
Starting point is 00:25:03 But they haven't stated what about that dress code is unplanned. pleasant or whatever it is they're standing against. It's not what we want, Kane. Right. That's literally all they're saying. Yeah. I don't get it. They don't like long sleeves, like they don't like black shirts.
Starting point is 00:25:20 They haven't said anything about what the dress code is and what their actual objections are. They're just objecting to the idea of a company having a dress code. This is a waste of time. So barista is based on it. It originated in Italy.

Starting point is 00:26:39 I just think that there's maybe, I don't know, like it's, they said that, yeah, it should have been collective bargaining. Shut up. Go work somewhere else then. I can't. Man. Okay, so sidebar. Because this really puts me in the frame of mind. I've been watching this sci-fi show basically about an alien invasion.
Starting point is 00:27:04 I don't really like watching a lot of TV, but it has to be engaging. and if your first 60 seconds isn't good, I'm not watching. Like if I take a bite of food and it tastes bad, I will spit it on my plate and I will not eat it. I'm like, you know, life's too short. You know what I'm saying? Like, if I had bad coffee, I'll be like, like, this tastes like Satan made it and I'll slide it back over. Anyway, so I've been watching this show. It's called The Eaternot.
Starting point is 00:27:27 And it's, is it on Netflix? I can't remember. Yeah. Yeah, it's on Netflix. It's an Argentinian show based in Argentina. So there's subtitles. Never do a dub, ever. Dubs suck. They're horrible. But the show is called The Eternot. And it's non-woke at all. There's no woke, but it is so good. It's very brilliantly done. And my kids, one of my kids in particular, because I was talking about like, man, if this was happening, I would already be like a warlord and I would have all this like shut down and I'd have a gate and I'd have blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, rolling out. And my people are resources, you know, harvest. And, you know, and my, you know, and my,
Starting point is 00:28:07 my son was like you're not allowed out of the house and I just this makes me want to fast forward into that world right through all the asteroids smod everything else let's just get right to it right but um this kind of stuff it puts me right there I'm like this stuff wouldn't fly like if you're if it's not enough for you to be concerned about during Armageddon then maybe don't get upset about it right now right I feel like that's a pretty good measure. Use the Armageddon Yardstick. Are you going to be mad about this if you're dealing with
Starting point is 00:28:43 an alien invasion and a pole reversal? Because if not, shut up. Armageddon Yardstick's a dope band name. Dude, right? That is actually a pretty good band name. Now that I think about it. But the Eaternot is fabulous. It's
Starting point is 00:28:59 so good. It's such a good. Oh, it's so good. But anyway, I'm like, I could swing that. I mean, sure, I'll fight aliens and whatever. I can hang. I could hang with that. But at least I won't have, you know, people complaining that they have to wear a certain kind of shirt while they're pulling coffee at the Starbucks. Would you want somebody like that making your food? I don't care about the attire of the person who's making my food. I don't either.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I don't care what a company's little dispute they have with their people. I just, why is it $13 for like a regular, you know? I don't get coffee at Starbucks because, you know. It took me like two visits to figure out the difference between Venti and. Grande because Grande is supposed to be large. That's what Grande means. And then Vente's only 20 and it's like, uh, that's not very large. Well, you're not supposed to have that much coffee. But Vente's the largest. Like nobody drinks like that's, Starbucks made giant, you know, garbage sizes like normal. It's not supposed to be like that. Like your coffee should not be cold by the time you get to the end of it.
Starting point is 00:30:01 That's bad. That means you've been given too much and that's stupid. But I always like more coffee. Then you can have several different shots of it. I like espresso or just like an Americano. I want it black and bitter like my heart. Save your stupid sugar and your milk that just reduces the intensity. Nay. So anyway, I could not get over that story. I was fascinated by that, and I absolutely had to share that with you.
