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 sometimes bad things happen to good people. And sometimes good things happen to bad people. And sometimes bad things that could be good things happen to bad people. So a Florida man was arrested. He got into a fight with four guests at a Disney World Resort, a bar there.

Of course, it's a bar. He made fun of a guest that had Down syndrome. And he had his head beaten upside one side and down the other. Good. That's, you know, I like, sometimes people say stupid stuff and are mean and cruel and they deserve to get their butt whipped. And that's playground rules, right? Brent George was arrested in charge with four counts of battery. This 61-year-old was drunk at the bar.

He down three shots of bourbon and a beer. Are you serious? One shot. One beer, really. And he made his way to a table of four guests and made fun of a woman with Down syndrome. Her mother confronted him, asked if she was making fun of her daughter, and he shoved her, then slapped another guest at the table when she tried to intervene. And then there was like a slap off.

But then an unnamed bystander grabbed him, removed him from the scene. And then this was after the husband stepped up. and punched him repeatedly in the head because he deserved it. And then so the guy was taken to jail. Good. Good on him. Good on the husband stepping up and whooping this guy. Looks like he hit him pretty hard too.

So there you go. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Let's see. Oh, yeah. This is, I saw this story. I saw, I was watching this. This is crazy. So in Florida, you know, you can put up fences.

I don't think don't people put up fences to try to keep gators out, especially if they live by waterways? Yeah. Okay. I don't think those work. Yeah. Uh-oh. Because this guy was filming a literal gator literally climbing the fence. What?

Climbing it. That's a picture of it. That's one showing you on the simulcase. He's climbing the fence. Nobody's safe. What is happening, Florida? Get this under control, Florida. what is happening?

Clearly why they put the fence up. I know. Keep them out. And he's crawling up the fence. I can't even deal with it. Okay, I'm fine with gators. Not when they're on fences, though. When they're crawling up fences, that's when I'm out.

I'm out. But, yeah, apparently this is what's happening. The alligator scaled the fence. The man filmed him. And then it flopped its way over to the other side and escaped into the pond. So I'm like watching this video. I'm watching the video. This thing climbs up, literally climbs up.

And it approaches the fence. This happens literally in under a minute. And it runs over to the fence. Scampers, how do they move quickly? I don't even know. What do you call it? He goes over to the fence. And then literally in under a minute, he climbs the fence and he's over it.

The gator. I didn't know they could do that. I'm, why are you so scary? Florida. Why? Why are you so scary? Oh, all right. So I got a couple of others.

I'm not reading this one. This guy got in trouble. Orlando Weekly has a story. He was ticketed after he ate pancakes in the middle of an intersection. He, this was Lakeland Police. There was a guy who brought, you know, those old, like your grandma had, right? The old TV tray tables. He had an old TV table, table, although that one should, would work also.

And he had some pancake syrup and a plate of pancakes. And he sat in the middle of an intersection. and was eating pancakes. A 21-year-old Kieran Thomas, they were able to find him later because he was tagged in the video that surfaced on Facebook. And he lives in a house

like the 100 yards from the intersection. He told officers it was a prank, but they charged him with placing an obstruction in the roadway and disrupting the free flow of traffic. So he used to go to, he went to court and everything. That was wild.

Let's see. This, no, there's this guy who promises, food and drugs to a panhandler but tortured her with a screwdriver and bat for months, police say? Yeah. It's a worker at a mobile gas station. He told WFLATV that this woman, she staggered into the store on Monday, locked herself

in the bathroom crying. She escaped from a van that had been parked at the Walgreens nearby. And then the guy at the mobile station noticed a guy driving the van away and then called the sheriff's office. She had been tortured and held against her will for months. She was a panhandler and a guy offered to give her drugs and food in January. And then he would beat her with a baseball bat and he would torture her with a screwdriver. And he kept her against her will for months.

So they did arrest him, this dude. He's 48-year-old Walter Medina of Tampa. I can't believe he's 48 years old. He looks way older than that. But they got him for kidnapping, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer as well because he wasn't going quietly and robbery. And it kind of makes you wonder, like, were there other victims? I mean, that could not have been the first person that he did that with. And a Florida man was arrested after the airboat he was in piloting overturned in the Everglades

when taking a sharp turn for a passenger to see a gator. So this is WTVJ, the NBC affiliate in Tampa. They didn't arrest the drive. They didn't, I release the identity of the driver, but they said that apparently he didn't complete a boat safety course and he didn't have a license to drive his boat. and the boat flipped over in the water so that he was trying to turn the boat so the passenger could get a look at the gator

and oh they got a good look at that gator apparently thankfully no one was injured they just got minor scratches but that was it but can you imagine the terror you take this sharp turn and you know your airboat captain not really captain is letting you see this gator and you flip over in the water right by the gator good heavens our partners that help bring you free radio it's our friends over at Caltech

Tell them that Dana sent you. Man, we got, we got, I didn't know what I was wearing. We got bigger targets. I mean, when you look at what, who just planet fitness? Like, what are they doing? Like, Ben and Jerry's, I don't want to put any targets on people's back, Target. Like, I talk to the dudes from Bud Light or Anheuser-Busch, the CEO, and the people, like, man, they messed up. It's too bad they just won't say it.

Like, hey, we messed up a little bit, you know, whatever, but that's not how they're cut. And, you know what, I got my answer. And I don't want to hurt people's jobs and stuff like that. It's not you hurting people's jobs, kid. But there's a whole lot more companies we should be going after for sure. Yeah, and Bud's one of them. All they got to do is be like, yo, we're sorry. We didn't mean to insult all y'all ladies who also liked our product.

I mean, that's, you know, I mean, that's not my cut to go ahead and just, like, grant somebody a pass when they haven't taken account of what they did. And they never, they never said, you know, yeah, we messed it. They never said that. So that's what it costs. That's my cut. That's what it costs. Otherwise, I'm not going to drink your pissed baby beer. Not going to happen.

I can say that, right? Because I did. Welcome back to the show. It's Friday. If I didn't, Steve got it. It's all right. I got a pass with Brennan. I can say it.

I'm messing with you guys. Welcome back to the program. Dana last year with you, bottom of this second hour. That's, why are we doing this? Why are we given? It's not about, you're not hurting their jobs. It's butt light that chose to do that. That's Budweiser that chose to do that.

Budweiser chose to hurt people's jobs because they decided to get this dude who is thinner than Twiggy to get up and promote their product. And they made a mockery of women by having this guy cosplay as one. Very insultingly so, by the way. And all they had to do was say sorry. That's all they had to do. Why is it so bad for it? It's an ego thing is why. It's an ego thing.

I mean, why are you going to bat for bud? Because they, I mean, how much does it cost for you to go to bat for bud? What's the price? You know that's what it is. I don't begrudge people for being capitalists, but don't sit here and be like, oh, it's all okay because they gave us money. I didn't get an apology. I don't even want no money. They don't even take millions.

I just want, we messed up. We're sorry. That's all I want. You have to, in order to have reconciliation, you got to have an acknowledgement of the wrong. That's biblical, guys. I mean, you know, that's just the process. That is, that's the cut. Just, just saying.

I don't get to why there are, Steve, you made, I told you to ask this question. What were you asking? Go ahead and do it. For those who don't know, me and Juan and Kane all cut the audio and video before the show starts. And the first thing I noticed is that he had a southern accent. And didn't he have a whole song about being from Northern Michigan? I was like, what? Yeah.

See, he's like, how are you having a Southern accent? Dude, you're from Northern Michigan. He's from the top of the mitten, right? Yeah. That's pretty up there. What part of the mitten was he from? That boosy part where they had like the real nice restaurants and it was like... Like the island?

Is that to me? I don't know up there. I've been up there one time. It's very pretty. Like the Upper Peninsula? It all looked pretty. I was like, oh, here's another pretty town. Traverse City?

Yeah, like in and it was like north of Traverse though. It was like up by the tip of the finger of the mitten. That's not accurate. I don't know how... It's got to be like Paradise Michigan or something like that. I don't know. But it was real pretty. Can I tell you guys a funny story?

Okay, sidebar real quick and we'll get back to everything. So it's like a television episode almost. So we go up there. We went up there for, my husband was in a wedding. That's why we were up there. Go up and we land in Traverse City. First off, the airport in Traverse City, I thought that I had stumbled through like, you know, the line, the witch and the wardrobe accepted from taking me to a whole different reality.

It took me to like somebody's lodge. because when I got off the, when you get off the airplane, you expect to walk into an airport, right? I legit was like walking past a stone fireplace and some plush leather chairs. And I looked at my husband. I'm like, we are in somebody's house. It was the weirdest thing. It's a very small airport, very pretty. So we get there and we're got to, we rented a car and we're leaving the airport.

and we drive past this place that I insisted we had to go in. We were right there by the lake. And I wanted to go, I wanted to make this stop because it was a very unique business idea. And I wanted to see in the inside of it. It was an ice cream parlor and taxidermy shop, right? Now, it was like dusky dark when we went in. By the time we left, it was dark outside. We go in there and there was these, you know, adorably taxidermied critters.

Like I saw three, it was three bad. and a raccoon paddling in a canoe that was actually like a hollowed out log and it was like really it was really cute it's adorable all the animals were posing very cute little things got my ice cream i'm looking at the taxidermy you know god bless america wish i would take some some of a bag with me and then we leave we go out and there's this huge covered area picnic tables and there was no lights out it was just you know it was a uh you see the moonlight and then the light from the store and And this huge area with the pitched peak and all of that. And we're sitting there and my husband gets this look on his face as we're eating our ice cream.

And it's a look of, should I tell her horror? And ladies, you know what that expression looks like on a man's face? Because at first when he was staring at me, I thought, you know, I'm a woman. I was like, oh, he probably thinks I'm so pretty. It wasn't that at all. And then his expression changed and it just got very scared looking. And he goes, why don't we go step by the car and eat these? And I go, what do you mean?

I'm like, we were sitting on a picnic table. A light breeze was coming in. It was so nice. And he's like, no, I think we should just go by the car and eat these. You know, then get ready to go. And I still had like my whole cone. I wasn't going to take a whole ice cream cone into the car, right? A car that I had just rented.

No. And I'm like, just chill out. We're not in a race. We don't have to be there by a certain time. And he's like, no, I really think that we need to go. And I'm like, okay, what's up? And then he's told me what he should never have said. Don't look up.

So when you're told, don't look up. What are you going to do? Look up. I looked up. And at first, as my eyes were adjusting to the darkness, I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at. Because all I could see were the rafters in the darkness of this huge, pitched, you know, covering, eating area. And it was big. There was a number of picnic tables out there.

And then I could see it just, the moonlight, just. bouncing off of what it looked like little just like darts of lightning all through this dark pitched area. And then I realized that that wasn't darts of lightning. Is that a string? What is, I mean, it was just tons of it all through this area. And then I realized what it was. We were sitting underneath a massive, massive, massive, spider nest, then something, and those were all webs. Now, the scream that I admitted, at first it didn't make a sound, Chris said, because I blacked out pretty much, because there are two things, three things, maybe, three things that I just,

I don't like. I'm not really scared of anything except for three things. Spiders, crickets, and I'm not a fan of chimpanzees, because I literally got to a slap fight with one when I was a child, and that's a story. for another time. And I, but I, it's an irrational and reasonable fear of spiders. I lost my mind. All I knew is that I pretty much blacked out.

My ears hurt really bad after they rung because at some point the scream made noise. And I don't even know what happened on my ice cream cone at that point. It was gone. I think I threw it. I don't even know what happened. And then we were by the car and Chris was like, I told you not to look up. I'm like, you can't tell me not to look up. I could have died.

We could have died to death. That's what could have happened. They could have killed you so hard I've seen arachnophobia I saw that movie Remember when Julian Sands God rest of soul He'd like kicked the bucket on Mount Baldy

Remember when he was in that barn And he looks up and it was all boo It was like that And so I had like a ragnophobia going through my head I'm just freaking out And then you feel like they're all over you Oh my gosh But that's the thing about

About Michigan The spiders there They are lake spiders, apparently. I'm from Missouri, and now we're in Texas. We've got scorpions. I can deal with that. I can't even deal with rattlers. The spider thing and the lake affects spider stuff.

And no, no, no, thanks. Uh-uh. No, you can have that all day long. So, yeah, I couldn't deal with it after that. So that was it. But anyway, long story short, Kid Rock came from that area. But he talks like he's from Alabama. I don't know. Is that appropriation? Is it? I don't know. I just don't know why we're still, why people are defending Bud Light.

Okay, so they gave you millions of dollars. Just be like, okay, well, they are, they're working with me or they gave millions of dollars to my friend's business. So yeah, I'm going to defend them now. Just be honest. Because otherwise that's, well, you know, they didn't say sorry and they didn't really do anything, but I don't want to destroy people's jobs. They chose that, not you. All they have to do to not destroy people's jobs is to go, we're sorry. Why is the, why is the, you? Why is the, onus put on everyone else who was like particularly the chicks that you'd like to get with insulted by this cosplay, you know, twink and you're going to go ahead and give them a pass? No apology? No, that's not how that works. Hillsdale College.

So first and foremost, oh, Europe's highest pedestrian suspension bridge has opened in Italy slightly terrifying. It looks kind of, I'm just saying, it looks, that's crazy. It's called, it's in Solano, it's an Umbria.

It is the highest of its kind, say Italian authorities. It is, would you walk across that? I'm not really afraid of heights, but I am. Are you? Yeah, I am.

It's, I just feel, you have to be tethered on this, you have to be tethered on this cable. and they said it's about highest of its kind. It's slung 574 feet above a void above this huge expanse. And it connects a medieval village about an hour southeast of the regional capital and then to another village on the other side of the river.

And they said the walk is just under a half a mile long. It takes 30 minutes or so. And you have to wear this harness and do that to walk across. If there's nobody else on the bridge. and I was hooked up to that and I could go a little fast I might be able to do it would you

I because the the bridge floor the bridge itself looks like just like these locks that are connected what happens if your foot slips I know I'm just saying

I'm just saying I don't know it's just a little scary a let's see this a couple other ones a stay at home mother faces jail time after an arrest warrant was issued for unreturned books at a county library. This 30-year-old mother, she thought her, well, her birthday began with a warrant for her arrest, apparently.

I guess she was arrested on her birthday. So in Grimes County, Texas. She rented five books from the Navasota Public Library, and they were for her homeschooled children. And she apparently was dealing with a rough pregnancy, and she had placenta Privia, and she apparently was on bedrest and all this other stuff. She didn't return the books by the due date. Her husband returned all but one book because it didn't fit into their drop box. And then when she went to renew her driver's license, they issued a warrant for a $570 ticket for the book. And the judge said that he didn't want to hear her excuses.

She needed to take responsibility. And yeah, that's kind of ridiculous. It's a damn library book. She said she offered to pay for the missing books, even though they had been returned. And the judge said it was beyond that point in the process. And she had to make things right. Who is this stupid judge? This is so stupid.

I mean, good grief. And she's a nursing mother, too. And she apparently did legitimately. She was like on bed rest for weeks when all of that happened. This is so stupid. They were trying to say, you taking this book as like going to Walmart, not paying for the merchandise. But she returned it. And then she paid the fun.

I can't deal with these people. Thank heavens that it's Friday. And last but not least, now the things are kind of in working order again. You're not supposed to eat runny yolks. because you could catch bird flu. A former FDA expert says, don't eat eggs over easy or sunny side up. That's the only way that I like them.

I do what I want, says America. Stick with us. I saw this tweet from this guy named Greg Garrett. And Greg Garrett is a professor at Baylor University. And he is a professor of literature and culture. And he likes to say he loves talking, he loves talking about how much of a Christian he is. and now he's probably a better Christian than you are.

And he gets into, he's a theologian and all of this stuff. He actually tweeted this. Now I want you to keep in mind as I read this tweet to you, Joe Biden, how many times is he for, quote, unquote, forgiven student loans? And apparently he's got, actually I had another headline about that. Let me pull this up. I just saw this.

He had an, apparently they're going to do another student loan forgiveness thing. You know, he's got to pay off for those votes, right? So that's coming. So this guy, Greg Garrett, who teaches a Baylor, tweeted, quote, Today in my Harry Potter class at Baylor, we had a hard and necessary conversation about J.K. Rowling and her hatred of trans people. We decided novelist Rowling, who wrote with compassion about diversity, equity, and inclusion is worth our attention. Twitter Rowling? Shame on her. And then because he started getting some pushback, he decided to limit the people who could reply to him.

And then he goes, quote, I am not unaccustomed to disagreement on Twitter. I'm a Christian and I teach at a great Christian university. And I'm involved in the Christian work of acknowledging the marginalized and dispossessed those whom the prophets and Jesus put front and center disagree if you must. And then he goes, I've talked with Rowling's former bishop. And he said that she, he confirmed that she attended church some years ago. And he calls what she, he says that she hates. He can't make the, he cannot differentiate between disagreement and refusal to affirm and hate. And that's what this is. If you refuse to affirm, you're classified as hate. But what I want to know, and maybe everyone listening could ask Baylor University the same thing, why Greg Garrett is charging people good money in a broke economic era to teach about a children's book. An entire class, apparently he said, it's a 15-week course. I find Greg Garrett to be a stupid old sexist, if I'm just being honest. I made the point, even the devil can quote scripture and impugning the character of a woman because she very accurately recognizes the existence of women as abusive, sexist,

and evil. Get behind me, Satan. I mean, imagine this guy. It's a course at Baylor. We're tuition. I mean, you're paying what? Harry Potter is a course at Baylor? Yeah, his Harry Potter class. Forgive our student loans. So what's the kind of job you get after you get that Harry Potter education?

Yeah, that's a great question. What sort of work does a Harry Potter course prepare one for? I mean, what sort of task? Online fighting? Yeah. Like what sort of task is one expected to complete after finishing a Harry Potter course with one Greg Garrett to R's two T's. Greg one Garrett on Twitter. Or sorry, X.

I mean, that's, I can't imagine why it's so difficult for people to earn enough money to pay off their loans after they. spend a year learning about a children's book. But furthermore, he's promoting the idea that you should shame and hate on J.K. Rowling. Nothing that she has ever said has been in any way remotely indicative of hate. It's been very unvarnished truth, but it hasn't been malicious. It hasn't been hateful. But what I do find hateful are people like false shepherds named Greg Garrett, who wrapped themselves in a veneer of faith while spitting venom and poison at young

impressionable minds and thinking that they're excused because they can say Christian five times in a tweet. Like I said, even the devil can cite scripture, as Greg Garrett proves. Why does Baylor, why do any Christian university, what does any Christian university tolerate this kind of nonsense? You don't need to check any kind of diversity box to have this old sexist white dude teach about a children's book for 15 weeks at Baylor. Pray tell, what sort of a diversity check are you trying to accomplish by having an old sexist white guy named Greg Garrett, who is maliciously attacking a female for rightly recognizing that women exist? If you want to have a discussion of irony, I give you one Greg Garrett. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana
