Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast sponsored by Keltec.
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida Man.
Okay, a few things here.
Got to touch on my heavens.
So this, I can't believe, we've got to look for Florida Man for sanity.
Can I just point out how insane that is?
Like, that's our, we got to look to look.
Florida man for insanity or for sanity. Let's see. First headline that we got here for you.
This is a Florida man led law enforcement on one of the slowest chases in county history.
All right. So how did this work out? This man was, it was a routine traffic stop and it went into a low speed chase.
And they had to use the stop sticks. So this dude, it started on September 25th.
Kyle McNary kicked a passenger out of a black Kia Sorrento at an intersection.
And apparently he's got a history of like attacking deputy sheriffs and things like that.
And he stopped to switch plates with his passenger.
And then he ran into the street waving at passing cars.
The passenger attempted to take the driver's seat.
McNary kicked him out, sped off, left him on the roadside.
And then he was involved in a hit and run four miles away.
And it seriously injured somebody.
so then he was driving very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very slowly on a very, very, I mean, what is he going like five miles per hour?
Is it even that?
No, less than five.
I mean, they did get him and then his SUV got stuck in a ditch.
So he was taken into custody.
A Florida man was arrested for sleeping on a Walmart roof with a gun in his hand.
Fort Myers, Cape Coral dude.
Deputies found him sleeping, you know, just regularly on the roof of a Fort Myers Walmart with a gun in his hand.
hand. Daniel Rios 30 is facing charges of trespassing. Somebody saw him somehow. And he's just
taking a nap, got a revolver in his hand. He said he was on the roof to write out the storm.
That's some Forrest Gump stuff. Like, what in the world? I went up, what was he going to shoot at it?
Like, took my revolver up there. I'm just going to ride it out. You know.
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We're at the top of this third hour.
And always good to be with you. Can find us channel 347, direct TV if you're not watching us,
are listening to us trust really.
And you can also find us YouTube, Facebook, all that good stuff.
So did Liz Cheney hit her head?
I don't get this.
Can you play 12 for me?
I really don't get this.
This is weird.
I know.
I know that President,
that President Harris,
that President Harris will be able to unite this nation.
In misery?
I know that she will be a president who will defend the,
rule of law. And I know that she will be a president who can inspire all of our children,
and if I might say so, especially our little girls. Like why? Well, because she's got a vagina.
That's why. And that's what women, like women are only inspired if it's another women because
they're real dumb, you know. That's what I hear when I hear that kind of stuff. Does that
going to make, I just don't understand why Liz Cheney would endorse Harris.
I get it if you don't like a particular politician, but you're not, and you're not putting a stamp of approval on their life or how they live or etc.
You're voting to advance your interests.
They're a vessel.
They're a piece on the board that you can push forward to advance your interest.
You're not saying that you're going to be best friends with them.
You're not saying that you're going to petition to have them formally adopt you.
It's not what's happening.
You're advancing your interest.
It doesn't make any sense.
Can I just make fun of Bruce Springsteen one more time?
Because the way that he sits up, the way he starts this video and this weird endorsement is so beyond.
Friends, fans, and the press have asked me who I'm supporting in this most important of elections.
See, he's every man.
Is that a gold?
Now, I asked this last hour, is that a gold nugget on his finger?
I don't like it, unless it's like a 70s style gold nug,
I'm not into like costume jewelry rings on men,
especially when you're wearing a flannel.
Like I've got all confusion here, right?
What is that?
I can't see it like zoom in on a can.
Can you zoom in?
What is it?
I don't know what it is.
That's a nuggett, isn't it?
Him and Daggett splitting nuggets?
And they're making rings?
Is it the one ring to rule them all?
Like, what is that?
It's his liberal Achi starter kit.
I don't know, ma'am.
Scott Jennings on CNN said this in response to Springsteen.
Listen.
A, couple things. A, I can't think of anything.
I care about less than some more on celebrity.
B, we got Hulk Hogan, and that's all I need.
Okay.
Holt Hogan can rip his own shirt.
He's performing in 80 concerts in Pennsylvania.
I don't think no celebrity has ever made me reconsider anybody.
Does it, I mean, on the right or left, does it really work?
I think maybe for people in the middle who don't watch anything and don't pay
attention. They don't do their due diligence. I'll say it if nobody else will, because you don't.
Does that actually work? Like, if they're like, well, I didn't know, I was thinking of
this way until I saw, you know, the celebrity come out until I saw Bruce Springs do.
I think that there are some people that can be influenced one way or the other. They're on
offense of some sort. But I think that it's, I think that it's a weak attempt by political
parties to try and relate culturally. And I think they miss the mark quite a bit on that.
You think?
a lot.
A lot on that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, I just don't think that that's
a
I mean, I just can't believe
that actually works to convince people.
If I hear someone say, I
didn't know where I was until Taylor Swift
came out, or I don't know where I
was until J-Law came out,
or until Bruce Springsteen, I just
think you are so dumb.
I don't even want to know you.
I don't want to be seen around you because what you have, a stupidity so bad, that might be catching.
I don't want any part of it.
I don't like celebrities telling me, even if it's somebody I agree with.
I look at a celebrity going, oh, yeah, I like who you like.
And I go, yeah, it's because you're smart like me.
But that's, you know, me.
I look at it like that.
But I don't ever get excited about it.
I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right.
Okay, so you have a brain.
But I'm never like, I'm so influenced.
I feel so affirmed on my choice.
I don't care.
So you'd have to explain then how the left has been so successful using celebrity for so many years.
Because they're sheep.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
So there are people on the left that do get influenced by that sort of thing.
That was the point I was making.
In a perfect world, I feel like I would ask people that if I took over how elections ran, I'd be like, well, did you come with
this decision on your own or did you come to this conclusion when you were to Swift concert?
And then depending on what the answer was, you know.
You're like the moderator in Billy Madison. Do you remember that?
Oh my gosh. What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
Amen.
Amen.
I feel like him when I hear these people.
I don't know where I stand.
And then I saw Bruce Springstees Hall of Salt.
I will say at least he's not being a jack wagon about it.
And then you got C.M. Eliot.
Didn't see, hang on.
Didn't see him Elliott go out there?
Hold up.
Hold up, hold up.
You guys remember him?
Hang on. Roadhouse?
The movie that my kids say is about dudes with mullets and tight pants doing kicks and bars.
They make it sound like the male rockettes when they talk about it.
Sam Elliott, he went out and he had said, be a man and vote for a woman.
Okay, be a man and do your own stunts.
I don't know.
Like what?
I don't want to dislike him.
But when he's like, be a man and vote for a woman, I'm like, no.
he was in a
the some
I don't know
Lincoln Project thing
ad
I think there's maybe a better way
that you could state it
you know
as long as you're not a jack wagon
he narrate it was a salty ad
so because he was kind of a jack wagon
about it I feel like I have the invitation
to be a little meaner
I don't want to play it
because I don't want to give it attention
but he says I can't believe
we're having this conversation again
and one stands for hate
and one stance for courage
and then it says, so you decide, and it's time to be a man and vote for a woman.
Or, you know, maybe be a man in us, TFO.
You know, maybe just mind your own damn business.
Isn't that what you all like to say?
To actually try to implore someone, be a man and vote for a less qualified woman because
she has a vagina is about one of the weakest beta things I can ever hear.
I mean, I had some respect for Sam Elliott.
It's greatly diminished.
I still like him as an actor, but it's really hard when people do, I don't care if
someone has a preference.
and I don't care if they talk about their preference.
But when they're stupid about it,
it's very difficult for me to suspend my disbelief
when I watch them in something.
Like Samwise Gamgee, for instance, the Sean Ashton guy.
I can't stand this dude.
He blocked me on Twitter.
I never even talked to that lunchbox a day in my life.
He was the worst part of Lord of the Rings.
The best character, because Samwise Gamge is the actual hero.
I'll take everything back to this.
I love Tolkien.
I love it.
He's the real hero of the story.
And you got the worst action.
or playing him. I mean, everybody else had to lift him up at every role. And if it wasn't for the
amazing dialogue, thank you to Tolkien. If it wasn't for the amazing dialogue, he'd have fallen on his face
even faster. But anyway, he was a jerk about it. He went, like, he went off on me and then
he blocked me. And I, and I was like, you're such a jerk. I don't, I just don't have the ability
to suspend my disbelief when I see you now. Now when I see you in a role, even if Lord of the Rings
is on TV, I just, I look at you in that light again. And I wish that you fall into the, in the pits
a mortar. I want you to fall into the lava. I want an orc to eat you up. I want all those things
to happen. I want Golan to behead you. That's what I want now. Like, you know what I mean? I can't,
uh, when they're that mean. Like Ron Perlman, I haven't blocked him. He follows me and he follows
me just to have a fit all the damn time. Ron Perlman just has a menstrual tantrum all the time.
Every, at least once a week at me, he gets mad. And he was in Hellboy. Now I can't watch Hellboy.
I can't do it. I can't, every time I see him, I'm like, oh my gosh, this guy.
Him. You know what I mean? Just don't be a jerk about it. It's not hard. You know, just don't be a jerk. I don't know.
Steve made a comment to me. I want to go back to this because I think this is when I was talking about the Nugget ring.
Steve, can I read this on what you put in Slack? Yeah, I'll explain it when you read it.
Okay, Steve goes, I used to wear rings until people thought I was a cheater. What?
And I had one experience
So my best friend makes like coin rings
That's his hobby
He takes like old quarters
And makes rings out of them
That look real
And it's pretty cool
But then after a while
I used to wear him on my left hand
And then my right hand
And then change fingers
And every time people in public
Especially women thought I was taking it off
My ring finger that I was cheating
And then my sister told me that
As like a thing
She's like just don't wear any rings
And I was like okay
Interesting
I don't think dude should be wearing rings either
Really unless it's like your college ring
Maybe
Or you're like in the
Super Bowl. Or you were like my Uncle Jr. That literally was what we called him. I don't know his name.
I have a cousin that we called Too Tall, too. So just don't ask me. It's the southern Missouri thing I
even know. That's normal that people have cousins called Too Tall, right? Anyway, Uncle Jr.
And he wore, um, I wrote about him in one of my books. He wore brown polyester leisure suits.
Never saw him in anything but a leisure suit. I think he even wore him the river or Cambridge.
And he was in the church choir and he wore a golden.
Nugget Pinky Ring. And he had them gold aviators on. He had them gold aviator reading glasses and them
gold aviator sunglasses. And I swear when he walked, it was that Ram Jams Black Betty to the beat,
like just like on cue. And I wrote in my book how his wife would play the church organ, like within an
inch of sin. And that's who, I mean, that's acceptable. If you're going to wear a ring like that and
you're like that, your uncle junior, you know, like you're in your late 60s 70s, it is acceptable
then. But unless I think it's like a college ring, you know, or your Super Bowl, what are you doing?
Or your wedding ring. What are you doing? Those are the only three acceptable rings. Those are the only three. Or if you're like Elton John.
You know, I would be weird if he didn't have rings on. It's weird. It's Elton John, right? He's like the male original Lady Gaga. Like, what are you doing? Anyway.
Should I put a pull up?
Where did? What was that? Should I put a pull up on X? See if people think that?
No, because they'll be wrong answers. And I don't. And I don't.
don't want to entertain that. I'm not in that mood on that. It's like I would never put up as
Green Day acceptable to listen to. There's, there's will be wrong answers. And I just cannot
abide that. We can't have that today. So no, there's, that's the order that comes down,
comes down from on high. So those are the only three rings, but your sister was telling you right.
She did you, she did you one solid. Where was this going? Oh, we're talking about celebrities.
And endorsing people. I don't know. I just think that if you're at the point where you don't
know what you're going to do with your life, unless a celebrity tells you, you, you,
You need an intervention and a brain.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Just can't with this.
This is so crazy.
It's so crazy.
The lightest, thinnest 9mm on the market with double stack maggots.
The Caltech P15, I almost said PFF10.
It's the Keltec P15.
Two versions, metal and polymer.
Metal version has the gorgeous walnut panels on it.
The polymer version has that gator grip texture.
It's just nice.
It comes to two magazines, standard 15 round.
Minimal pinky extension.
And if you want the ultra concealability, it has that too.
Flesh fit double stack mag holds 12.
Tritium fiber optic front site, fully adjustable fiber optic, two dot rear.
And it has striker fire reliability and a great trigger pull.
Lifetime warranty.
Compact, just absolutely ideal for concealed carry self-defense.
This is like one of my go-tos.
It's the lightest thinnest of anything I have that's 9mm.
You don't lose stopping power, but you gain concealability.
It's from the inventors with a microcompact pistol category, Keltech.
Innovation Performance, Keltec, learn more at Keltecweapons.com.
K-E-L-T-E-C-Weapons.com. It's the P-15. Tell them Dana sent you.
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
So Monday is the one-year observance of the terror attack on Israel, October 7th, which you still have American hostages also that are gone.
DHS, of course, this warning of risks around October 7th. Of course they are. And they're also trying to say that, oh, it's a new report.
And, you know, these probably maybe have like some risks around, you know, election and stuff, too.
well then stop it
make it stop without making it harder for everybody to vote
or easier for people who have no idea to vote
there you go
I would want to do something like this
okay I want to do the full body scan
and Chris is like I am absolutely not going to do it
I like to know absolutely everything
and get in there as you guys know
because I'm crazy about health
but now I think I may do this too
it's a simple cheek swab
that could accurately predict how long you live
do you want to know how long you live
like if you that's one thing I would say
Like if someone was like, I can tell you exactly how long you live.
I don't know that I would want to know that.
I think I would because then I'd find a way to manipulate it to make it not come true.
Oh, no.
You just said you would become a biohacker.
Did I say those words that I didn't say?
That's exactly what that means.
I had no idea.
Just like you don't like old people.
Now you're going to be a biohacker.
What in the world?
That's isn't fair.
It's called cheek age.
That sounds bad.
That's their problem.
product. Would you like some cheek age? No, thank you. Like, what's that? I don't even know. But they said
that it assessed health risks and they develop anti-aging interventions. I would want to, I would do a
body scan to find out like anything that was wrong with me. And I would totally do that. But if they
were like, by the way, we can tell you exactly how long you live. I want to be, I don't think I've been,
I'm not into that. I don't want to know. I just, I want there to be some unknown. You know what I
mean? I don't know. My husband doesn't want to know anything. I don't get those people.
I don't understand that.
A man was accused of sneaking a shotgun shell filled with meth into the Philly airport.
I mean, you can't take anything that's bullet shaped in there.
I got so much trouble from TSA for a pin that was in a shotgun shell that I took all...
Sorry, guys.
I'm so sorry.
I took all my tampons out of the box and I was like, these are all bullet shaped too.
Let me know if you want to confiscate any one of those because I was doing with it.
Anyway, a man from Columbia County, Pennsylvania got arrested at Philly Airport.
he could put meth because he thought that would make it through.
No, it's not gunpowder.
It's not, it's not, it's not, uh, it's not shells.
It's not, it's not, uh, buckshot.
It's not bird shot.
It's not bird shot. It's just meth.
So there's nothing in there.
It's just the meth.
He actually thought that that would work.
Surprise, they caught it and it didn't work.
Stay with us.
We got, we got more.
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash, with you at the bottom of this third hour.
We're going to get into some.
of the latest with FEMA and, of course, the election and everything else.
I got to ask you, though, first up, have you guys watched a documentary?
It's like from the people who did Lion, or I almost said Lion King, Tiger King, and it's called Chimp Crazy?
No.
Okay.
What?
Yeah.
So, Kane, we're both from Missouri.
Well, you're in Illinois, so you're like majority.
No, I actually was born in Missouri, lived there for most of my life, but yeah.
Okay, yeah.
So, this, I was watching.
this
well I was watching this
this thing because I read
one of my, I was actually my hairstylist
was telling me about it. She was like,
have you seen Chimp Crazy? Oh my gosh and going on
and on. And I was like, what? No, I haven't seen it. And then I realized on Facebook
all the people who lived in, because we still have a lot of family in Fassas.
Everyone was like Fest this is finally on the map and
and you know, everybody was going on it.
And I realized, oh my gosh, this is set in the town where I was born.
where a lot of our families still live.
And I'm like, what in the world is that?
And it has to do with this.
They turned it into what was like a foundation for chimps.
But it was people who were like, you know, they were an animal broker, exotic animal brokers.
And PETA got involved.
And I was reading over this.
And it hit my mind.
Now, I've told you guys this story before, but I've never had to tell it like this because it is related to this.
So when I was a little bitty kid, we lived in a little town not far from Fustis.
It was like a mile out called hematite, very tiny little bitty rural, very rural area.
And up the hauler, up the hill were a very nice older couple.
To me, they were elderly.
But when you're like four years old, you know, five years old, anybody who's over 50 looks
elderly, right?
And they had grown kids.
Their kids were grown.
And one of their kids married into this family.
that dealt with exotic animals, right?
And my mom had to work,
and there for like a period of a week one summer,
this elderly couple babysat me.
They had a beautiful property.
It was like all the sprawling farmland
and this little farmhouse,
and they had a pond.
It was beautiful.
It was one of those beautiful places.
And that week I was going to go up there
and they were going to babysit me while my mom worked
because the person who would normally help couldn't.
And it just happened at that time.
that this elderly couple, remember I told you one of their kids married into this family that dealt with exotic animals, that their kid and their spouse, and I can't remember if it was the son or daughter, were going on vacation, and they had chimps. And they treated them like kids. Like they had beds, they dressed them up. I think they had like two. And one of them was a boy, and it was a juvenile. It was very young. I mean, it was in a diaper, but it was very young. Like the wife of the old lady that walked down the hill had like picked him up at one point.
But, you know, I was a tiny five-year-old.
I wore toddler clothes.
So we were kind of about the same size.
So anyway, she was like, well, she tells my mom that, well, we're going to be babysitting
this chimp, too.
Just, you know, FYI, let you know.
Just want you to be aware.
And my mom's like, okay.
And I was real excited because I'm like, oh, my gosh, it's an actual monkey.
I've never been around Champaignsie before.
I mean, you're what's that dude to like a little bitty kid's mind, right?
I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm going to wear my red cowboy boots and we are going to have fun.
And you know, those little bugles, chis.
the little pointed chips that you would put on your fingers and you know I packed a little baggy for me
and I packed a little baggy for the chimp right I was like we are going to be like best friends because
they're so close to being kind of like us like we're going to be best friends so anyway go out
that morning and meet them at the edge of my driveway because she walks down with this little chimp
and he's little he's in overalls and I was like we're going to be friends so exciting and I gave
the I can't remember its name I gave the monkey the chimp a bag of bugles
and I thought it would be normal
like it opened them up. I didn't expect it to verbalize
like thank you but you know
I didn't expect for it to go
and then smash it and like throw it
and then shove me and I was wearing
my cowboy boots got mud on my damn cowboy boots
and I was livid
like we are already starting off on the wrong foot
monkey this is bad
so go up to the end
for all week it was war
it was open war between me and this chimp
it would pinch me
pinch me it was so mean and it was like
not like it was being, I'm going to, I'm experimenting with boundaries like, oh, I'm going to hurt you.
It was like mean.
And it would touch, like put its hand in its diaper and then try to like touch you with it.
It was so gross.
And I would try to, I'd have to lay down and take a nap.
And I remember it was like the telltale heart, you know, at that one point when the character, the light of the door opens and there's a sliver on the eye.
And I'm like laying there taking a nap and I see this chimp, you know, don't, don't come up.
And it's like right there in the crack of the door.
I could go to sleep because I didn't know if it's going to come and like pinch me or do it.
whatever. Well, one day I had had it and this thing pinched me and I hauled off and I slapped that
damn thing so hard with everything that I had. I slapped it. It was the pimpest slap of all pimp slaps
and I got in trouble for it and I was so mad. Well, anyway, I never saw that monkey again.
And I just, it was just one of those things that you file away. Like this is something weird that
happened, you know, when I was a kid. I slapped a chimp. Here it is. And I got in trouble and I was
mad because I got in trouble. It didn't make me nervous.
until I got older and I realized, oh my gosh, wow, if that had been like an older chimp, that thing
could have killed me. And I didn't realize any potential danger. My mom was, you know, not happy about it,
obviously. Well, it comes out, apparently this is the family that had the chimpanzees, not the
people that babysat me, but apparently like they're like married into them or something. And I mean, I don't know.
I've never met, you know,
that, what is it, the Tanya Haddix lady, and I never met,
what is their name, the Casey lady.
But, yeah, they were, they're like famous in our town.
And I texted my mom and I was like, so what's up with this?
And my mom knew like the whole life story.
Like, yeah, everybody, everybody knows Tanya.
Everybody knows.
I mean, that's how it is, like in those towns, you know.
Everybody knows everybody.
And I got like the full, it was hysterical.
But I could not believe that.
And I started watching it.
So I started watching it.
And I watched the first episode last night.
And man, I don't know.
It's weird, dude.
I could not.
My perspective of them is forever tainted because of that experience.
But I just, I don't know.
Like, I don't want anything that can throw feces, like live in my house.
You know what I'm saying?
Like that has that choice and makes it.
Like, yeah, I could.
I shouldn't, but I'm doing it.
You know, like, I don't want that in my house.
I don't know.
I had to tell you guys this because I didn't realize like PETA had been involved.
And I didn't realize Alan Cummings, the actor, had been involved.
And I do feel bad for them because I thought their enclosures were a little bear.
And I do feel like these crazy people love them in their own way.
So you're almost torn in a way.
But they deserve way better treatment.
And you guys know, I don't, I'm not a big fan of that kind of captivity.
But it's very interesting.
But yeah, I knew exactly where that was.
And my hairdresser was talking to me about this.
And she was like, so wait, you mean to tell me that in Festus, Missouri?
There's literally a store where you can get chimpanzees on the side of the road.
I'm like, yeah, you can pretty much do anything in Missouri.
Moonshines in our Constitution.
She's like, what?
But Kane, it's true, right?
You want fireworks, you want liquor, moonshine, and a chimp.
Go do it.
Yeah, you can open carry and everything.
God bless America.
Oh, my gosh.
Missouri is endearing.
You know, people don't know.
Those are the type of people that you want.
you've got a hurricane tearing up your area.
I'm just saying, those are the kind of people that all of a sudden, like talking about Hurricane Haleen,
there's a guy who's, oh, we have a mutual friend and he's on Facebook.
And I don't want to add him or anything.
But he goes, he's like, I have never, he's like, I'm from the city.
He's like, my family, you know, we moved out here in this rural area and I was in high school.
And he's like, I never really appreciated, you know, all the redneck ingenuity.
He's like, I, he goes, I knew that these, you know, they're good people and they, they will give you the shirt off their back.
He's like, but I didn't realize all the implements they had when something like this hits.
And so he's like, my gosh, like you got a landslide.
There's like a landslide in his area and they had flooding.
And he was like all of a sudden they got all this inflatable stuff and they got all kinds of everything and cheap.
I mean, he's like, I didn't even realize that they had all of these, all this equipment.
And he's like, and if they didn't have it, they literally made it.
They just like fabricated it together like, you know, McGiver.
And he was in awe because he said they already had.
had their road cleaned up and they rescued a bunch of people. And then they went a couple hours
south. And he was like telling everything his neighbors were doing. And he was like, he goes,
I want to be a redneck now. And he's like, the only thing I can do right now is a girl mullet. I don't
know what else to do. He's like, but I'm going to get a four wheeler. And he was like going on
down the line. But think about it though. Kane made this point too. Where was the thing that
you put? And I read this. It said things that the people who were talking about what helped them
survive the hurricane. And it wasn't electric cars. And it wasn't.
their electric appliances and it wasn't
Apple pay and it wasn't
their DEI. It wasn't
DEI. It was gas, machinery,
gas, gas, gas, gas, cash.
That's what it was.
That's what runs a chainsaws also.
That's how you can cook your food. They're like we wouldn't be able to cook
our food if we didn't have gas stoves.
Electric stoves, I'm going to sound like my granny for a minute.
They're of the devil.
Electric stoveses are of the devil.
They are. They're horrible.
They are horrible.
Electric stoves.
I will literally like negotiate.
I actually negotiated when purchasing houses.
I was like, if this is an electric stove, I need this off the purchase price because this
is the stupidest feature in the house.
It's stupid.
I've legit walked right.
I'm not, I'm horrible with us.
Gas stoves the only way.
Think about it.
You wouldn't be able to eat.
How are you cooking your food?
How are you boiling your water?
You know, sure build a fire out the bat.
That's all right.
But this makes it easier, especially if it's raining, because it's still warm.
was. Man, I tell you what. But I, it's that ingenuity. People come in. And all these people
showed up for the government. A week before the government. A week before the government. And they just
had this stuff. They didn't have to go out and buy nothing. They're like, well, guess I'll go in the
shit and get some water. I mean, they like had it all. Do you need help delivering it? Nope,
I'm just going to put it up here on the gator. Get it out there. It's just all done. My gosh,
that's America. God bless America. I tell you what.
some of these other nations out there, they like give us gruff for, I don't know, like American
culture. They make fun of rural people and all this. But I'm going to tell you what, those rule
people, the first people everybody's reaching out to because you know that they can survive.
They got everything. If they need to live off the land, they can live off the land. They don't
need all this other stuff. And they show up. Even when you've criticized them, they still show up.
And that's what's so good about them. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's
