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. What is the word Elon Musk impersonator? What's that phrase? Say to you. Because this Florida man, I don't even know how this happens. This guy, he pretended that he was Elon Musk so he could scam a 74-year-old woman out of more than $250,000.
Starting point is 00:00:30 A Florida officials said they arrested this guy. He was pretending to be, and this was just a couple days ago, he was pretending to be Elon Musk. His name is Jeffrey Arthur Moynihan. He scammed a Texas woman out of a quarter of a million dollars, although officials think it was probably more. He was impersonating Musk on Facebook when this woman befriended him. They exchanged messages for several months, and he told the woman to invest in his business. businesses promising her a $55 million return. So all the financial records show that she transferred all this money over to his
Starting point is 00:01:08 accounts and him and his business called Jeff's painting and pressure washing. And then the woman's husband said that, beyond that, the woman's husband said she transferred $600,000 to this pretend Elon Musk. And he was finally arrested at his home and he's going to be investigated further. No, never. ever do anything like that. Never give your money to anybody like this. That's crazy. A guy pretending to be Elon Musk. I just can't. I don't even know. Oh, my gosh. Oh, Kane. This one is crazy. The bee thing? A Florida man survived a killer bee attack while trimming trees. He said the pain was
Starting point is 00:01:49 excruciating. He's a Brevard County guy. He was trimming trees. And when apparently thousands of these bees came in, he owns a land service, traveled across the state for his job. He was over 120 times. He's also allergic to it. And he was on a crane. And he, so he got stung over 120 times. He's allergic to bees. He was on a crane and he fell 30 feet to the ground when they started stinging. And he had to be hospitalized. He still has swollen wells. He was pulling out stingers from all over his body. He said the pain was excruciating. And apparently he was trimming trees and it hit the hive. And that's what happened. So, wow. That's just wild. They had a
Starting point is 00:02:30 pick him up, carry him in the car. It was pretty bad. But he said the swelling's gone. He just has little red marks everywhere. And yeah, you don't want to make the beast. The bees, man. That's a bad thing. Also, this story, do do do do. This,
Starting point is 00:02:46 I'll pull this up. Former St. Pete Council member was accused of hiding cameras in an air vent to watch a woman's shower. 64-year-old Jeffrey Danner, not Dahmer, Danner, very close, was taken into custody for a one kind of digital voyeurism.
Starting point is 00:03:07 The woman said she was, okay, she was in the shower at his house. They'd known each other beforehand and she was temporarily staying with him. And she said that she noticed something when she was in the shower at his residence. And there were these cameras in an air vent. One of them pointed directly towards the shower. And she took pictures of them, showed police's evidence. she showed a text conversation in which she confronted him over the cameras. And he responded to her with a text message claiming that he never connected them after realizing how stupid and perverted it was.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And so he used to be on the city council and so he was booked in jail without bond. So wait a minute. I'm not excusing anything, but it was in his house, right? In his bathroom. And she was staying there. I'm just wondering. I'm not saying that he should have, but where does one draw the line?
Starting point is 00:04:10 What if you have guests over and say that you have safety cameras? Like, you know, you have cameras like ring cameras. You have cameras on your door. You have cameras like in your kitchen or cameras on your entrances and exits. Does that qualify? I don't know. I'm just, I don't know, which is why I'm literally posing the question. I think it's a little weird
Starting point is 00:04:35 It's in his house It's fair I could have taken one look at this guy And told you he's a pervert Don't shower in his bathroom I could have saved you the problem Yeah that's a horrible perverted thing to do Whether it's in your house or whatever it is
Starting point is 00:04:48 It's horrible But at the same time I'm like Should the government tell you what you can put in your own bathroom vent See where how awkward this is? I don't know It's a tough thing All right
Starting point is 00:05:03 also a Florida man with a suspended license stole an SUV because he needed to go talk to Donald Trump was a very important conversation Sarasota man he was totally arrested bail set at $20,000 yeah he stole the car it's almost the price of the car that he stole actually the p15 that stands for 15 pews standard capacity and it ships with two magazines once the 15 round minimal pinky extension the other's flush fit double stack that holds 12 now there's two versions there's the muddle frame and you have the wood panel texture grip. It's really gorgeous. It's walnut wood.
Starting point is 00:05:38 And then you have the polymer version with the gator grip texture. Really, I mean, both are great. I have both. I love them. Tritium fiber optic front side, fully adjustable fiber optic two dot rear. Strike or fire reliability, great trigger pool. I mean, it literally just is with the thinnest, lightest, nine millimeter, you know, strike or fire, your concealed carry that you can get.
Starting point is 00:05:59 And, I mean, it's lighter and thinner than, you know, the other stuff that I have. 43X and this just makes that look bulky. And you don't lose stopping power. You don't lose concealability. It's just great engineering and innovation from Keltec. Innovation performance in Keltec, the inventors of the microcompact pistol category.

Starting point is 00:06:25 Tell them, Dana sent you. I find that interesting, which makes me wonder about that ethics report. and I really don't care to dive into it anymore, but I just think that it had to do with keeping the ethics report from being made public. That, I don't know. I keep hearing from people that there's a lot more in there than you know and the scope of it's pretty crazy and all that.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I don't know. What I do know is that it does kind of look like he doesn't want to come out if he's not even going to resume or take his seat that he won fair and square in an election for the 119th. So I don't know. Because then you know why. that puts him back under the purview of the House Ethics Committee, and then that report becomes germane again.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And then, you know, it can be released. And they would have to, they would have to discuss it. So I don't know if they would open them up for censure, depending on what's in it or what's, who knows? But his wife had said yesterday that it was the end of an era. And then he apparently made mention to the press today that he's not going to take his seat in the 119th. So it kind of seems like it's about avoiding that ethics committee report.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I mean, just looking at it on its face. Because being in the House, even if he were, and I was talking to somebody about this the other day or yesterday, even if he were to take, which is never going to happen, if he was appointed to the Senate, then the Senate that gives Thune and Schumer who want that ethics report, that gives them justification to get it. And then it would, so either way, it would come out. so he can't, he would have to stay out of Congress for it to not be made public. And maybe that's, maybe that's the issue. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I'm just saying, I mean, it's, you know, not like, I do find it interesting. The accusations against Pete Heggseth, which seem very new and Kavanaugh-esque, I don't think that there's any shred of truth in those. I really don't just because of the timing. And it just follows that same old formula. The Gates thing predates this by years. So it's not as easily explained away. the Gates thing. But that said, I saw that the left were saying, can you believe that these people have sexual accusations against them and that Trump is actually considering them for these cabinet positions and all this stuff? Really? Democrats are saying that? Hey, King. Where is the place that, name a place that Teddy Kennedy parked his car? Near a lake? Near a lake? All right. In a lake? In a lake.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Was there a woman in it? There was. Leaving a woman to drown to death in a car? Yeah. Seems kind of serious, no? Oh, it's, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:19 That's serious as it gets. Yeah. What about that time, a guy who was president of the United States was grabbing women and had to settle out of court with him before it came out that he had enjoyed some inappropriate, romantic times under the desk. It depends on what is is though. That's right. It depends
Starting point is 00:09:43 where your definition of is is. Yeah, that's a very good point, Pilklin. Yeah, very good point. I'm just saying. Or what about Al Gore? Y'all remember this is so gross. Remember the story about Al Gore? He was going up,
Starting point is 00:09:58 getting himself a massage. Al Gore was getting a massage. And he, ask the masseuse if they would release his inner chakra. That's what that was. So gross. He's so nasty. So I'm just saying, I don't want to hear any of these sexual deviance speak up or make a peep.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I'm not even going to get into John Edwards. I mean, that guy fleeced an elderly heiress to pay for his baby mama. and then try to make his staff member take a responsibility and claim that the baby was his. You know what that did to his wife? His own marriage? That's horrible. It was really hard on the guy's marriage. It's one of the reasons why the guy actually blew the whistle on John Edwards.
Starting point is 00:10:50 That was their golden boy. So I ain't going to hear it from these sexual devians. No. I mean, Democrats literally screwed in the Senate chamber. They made a porn video in the Senate chamber. Gay porn. I'm not going to hear from you people. You did.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You had a topless tranny on the White House lawn for Easter. Not going to hear it from you people. No. Two separate cocaine discovery. Oh my gosh. I'm not even going to get into the cocaine in the White House. I mean, let's be real here, folks. I'm not going to hear from these sexual deviants.
Starting point is 00:11:27 So the party that drowned a lady in a lake, the party that got, some romantical times from under the executive desk after having settled with women that he was accused of sexually harassing. The party, yeah, the party that did the secretary sandwich, the party that wanted a masseuse to release their inner chakra, the party that filmed gay porn in the Senate chamber, the party that had the topless tranny on the, up for Easter on the White House lawn, y'all don't get to talk smack, especially when it's made up accusations about nominees like Pete Huggseth.
Starting point is 00:12:06 You guys sit down. Sit down. I mean, at some point, I would like settle for a regular old cat call compared to what these freaks have done. I mean, what about the dude who was stealing all the ladies' luggage and he dressed up in pleather when he wasn't rolling around in a furry pile? What about that?
Starting point is 00:12:23 I mean, it makes you want some good old-fashioned cat calling after that, right? Like, golly. Bring us back. Yeah, take us back to when, you know, who, You had that instead of, you know, the bald guy stealing everyone's luggage as he's like fetishizing himself and pleather and furries. I just can't. Nah. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:12:46 So, yeah, they don't get to, they don't get to pass judgment on any of that stuff. You had this, the guy who, I can't believe Adam Kinsinger is taking, I just want to make fun of him. I'm not going to lie. Let's just make fun of Adam Kinsinger. It's audio sum by nine. Yeah, I mean, I think it's going to be like way more intense. because if you think about it, again, yes, Hegseff was not charged with that. He also wasn't exonerated, as you mentioned.
Starting point is 00:13:10 But the military's had an issue with sexual assault that they've been trying to address for a number of years. And now you're putting a guy that's potentially guilty of that in charge of the Pentagon. And so I think the hearings are going to be pretty brutal for him. Are they going to be as brutal as shooting a reporter at your stupid campaign range day for the loser Senate candidate that you were pushing? Remember that guy you guys shot? How's he doing? Hey, that range that's operated by a prohibited possessor? What about that one?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah? I don't know. Where does Adam Kinsinger go when Trump's out of office? What happens to those people? They got to find somebody new to hate. What is he going to do? Think about it. Guys, his job security runs out.
Starting point is 00:13:57 When Trump leaves office in four years, what is he going to do? What is he going to do? he's got to hurry up and recruit someone else to hate to bits. I mean, they're not going to like him if he, if he likes somebody. They only want him there because he's a troll. And he's a real bad one too. Like when you accidentally troll yourself, that's not how that works. I'm not supposed to work that way.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I was just saying. Oh, man. So speaking of, I'm going to just get some of this audio because we got some, we got some good stuff. we have audio soundbite 8 General Mark Millie talking about the ladies in the combat this is audio soundbite 8 please
Starting point is 00:14:38 don't lecture me about women in combat women have been in combat and it doesn't matter if that 7662 hits you in the chest no one gives if it's a woman or a guy who pulled that turd you're still dead so if you meet the standards our military must be and always should be
Starting point is 00:14:54 a standards based merit thing yeah don't sit here a lecture me with your gaslighting BS. Because we're not talking about merit or standard base. We're literally talking about the ingratiation of women at all levels, including like on the ground strike teams, like hand-to-hand combat style. That's what the issue is. He was very careful with his word choices.
Starting point is 00:15:13 So I do take exception to someone who decorates themselves with all these metals and gets up there and tries to do this appeal to authority by acting like you have no right to question any of this, but they do because this is what I did and you don't get to lecture me. But like hell, we don't get to lecture you. the fact that I pay a crap tonne in taxes, I get to lecture you all day long, sweet cheeks, all day long. And if you don't like it, then I suggest you go find another line of work. That's how this works here. You don't just get to make these edicts and then we all got to live with it.
Starting point is 00:15:47 And furthermore, he was quite careful with his speech. It is really hard to expect the American people to take seriously any form of authority when that form of authority constantly lies to them, constantly mislems. represents things, tries to obfuscate, completely just omits facts so that they can better suit their narrative. Hegsteth was very careful in what he said. I don't care if you like him or not. That's irrelevant. If you're not open-minded enough to realize that he was talking about, yeah, I'm fine with women and women pilots, fine with this. But he's talking about what we're all talking about, the basic sense combat as we know it, right? Like the bare basic combat of what we
Starting point is 00:16:23 know. That's exactly what he's talking about. And there are a lot of female veterans, many of whom are my friends. Some of them are very good friends. Some of them are in my family that feel the same way. And they totally get what Hegg Seth was talking about. But of course, you know, you got the DEI guy up there on the stage saying, no, there's not what I was talking about. I was talking. No, you don't lecture me. I'll lecture you lunchbox, especially when you're misrepresenting it. This is misrepresentation. And then you wonder why the American people don't trust positions of authority. Why we don't trust government agencies because you got these people in the upper echelon telling you that what you heard you didn't hear and here's in fact what he said well what he said and if you don't know
Starting point is 00:17:03 guess what we have this amazing thing called the internet you can go and listen to him talk about it he's talked about it six ways to sunday i don't know why he's got to keep repeating it well he does because these people keep lying about it they keep lying about it so they're trying to claim that he was no he was talking about all women not just in combat They're trying to make it out like all women serving. And he's very specific. Words have meaning. He was very specific.
Starting point is 00:17:32 And they're pretending that he wasn't. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. So this was like a crazy case. This is the Connor McGregor case. So apparently they found him guilty of a woman who said that she was brutally raped and battered in her Dublin Hotel Penhouse. she got $250,000.
Starting point is 00:17:56 She was awarded by a civil court in Ireland today. She said it was a December 9th, 2018 assault. It left her heavily bruised. He shook his head. It was a jury of eight women and four men. They returned the verdict after deliberating for six hours. And he testified that he never forced her to do anything. I mean, basically he was saying that he just cheated on his wife, you know, which is just horrible.
Starting point is 00:18:19 But he, and she was with him. He was with him in court. But yeah, they found him guilty. And he's in the civil case. And so, which is, so he's there demanding that he pays up. That's according to the Associated Press. Elon Musk's Neurrelink has been greenlit for its first brainship trial outside of the United States. And it's this brain computer interface startup.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It's already received approval from Health Canada to begin to recruitment for its first clinical trial in the country. And we'll see. But it's a big, they said it's a significant milestone in the quest to develop technology that enables individuals with paralysis to control external devices using only their thoughts, which is wild. That's crazy. Also, Christmas tree shortage. 80,000 are apparently destroyed by floods. And the industry is not going to recover for about 15 years, they're assuming. That's, I mean, goodness, it's Hurricane Helene.
Starting point is 00:19:21 It tore through a North Carolina farm in September, uprooted 80,000 trees, ruined a family's legacy, and apparently other farms are suffering similar catastrophes. And they said they're going to have to strip everything back, take it down to the dirt, and start all over. They said it's millions of dollars in many years. It's just awful. And again, that's just one of many, many of these tree farms around the Appalachian region where that was really hardest hit by the hurricane and all the fallout from it. but gosh, they said that, you know, some of the trees are rotted at their cores now because of the flooding and all of that. It's just so it's going to, trees are going to be expensive. A mysterious orb zooming past New York City was accidentally caught on film by a local news chopper.
Starting point is 00:20:05 I'm just going to say it looks like aliens. It's, right? What do you think it is? Could it be a glare on the glass? Probably not. I think it's going to be the most ridiculous explanations, usually a truthful one. I'm just saying it might be. Ellen DeGeneres has moved to Great Britain,
Starting point is 00:20:24 says she's never coming back to the United States. Whant, wah, nobody cares. And Brazil's, this is wild. Brazil's former president Bolsonaro and his aides have been indicted for an alleged 2022 coup attempt now. He was banned last year from running for office for eight years. Do you hear about this story about this ballet dancer and a very, very vocal critic of Putin?
Starting point is 00:20:45 He just happened to fall out of a building, Kane. Accidentally? Yeah. A renowned Russian ballet star Vladimir Shiklyarov. Sounds right. Right. He, 39 years old, he just happened to fall out of a fifth story building in St. Petersburg. Wow. He was a, Shikliorov was a vocal. Yeah, that's right. Shikliorov. It has to be. S-H-K-L. Sure.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Yeah. A vocal. advocate for ending the war against Ukraine since its initial invasion in 22. And I'm sure he just pirouetted right out of the window by accident, right? He just foetayed right out of the window by accident, right? Do they not have building codes that keep like fifth-story windows secure or something on the outside that would prevent like a full human body falling five stories? Yeah. The Russian state media outlet, Novos.
Starting point is 00:21:49 reported that authorities had been investigating, you know, his death. They looked into Shigl Rav's death. But the initial findings, the justice was totally accidental. Really? Yeah. Big critic of Putin over there. He was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Big critic of the war in Ukraine. Let me ask you this. Have you, like even on a first floor window, have you ever accidentally fallen out of a window? No, no. In your life, just like by accident? No, never. But you know what? There's an ailment that's going to.
Starting point is 00:22:19 around with the people. It's just very coincidental, Kane. A lot of the people who have been critical of Putin, they've gone through some untimely things. Right. Yeah. Coincidental. Yeah. They've gone through some untimely stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:35 They've had some issues. So, I don't know. You know, it just seems very. He was a top ranking dancer at the Marendinsky Theater, Marenski Theater. And 39 years old, like in a kind of, you know, a, you know, a, you know, a, Towards the end of his prime there is the dancer. When you're in ballet, you're old. If you're literally in your mid-30s, you're an old ancient dancer at that point.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I did ballet for 18 years. I'm like, it's not where you really go to make a ton of money. It's just not. I just look back because I've been around, you know, windows my whole life. Kane is obsessed with, you're right, Kane. And I'm sure you have too. Probably there, you can't. I've seen a lot of windows in my day.
Starting point is 00:23:12 I think pretty much every day of my life, I'm around windows. I have never fallen out of one. my 52 years have fallen accidentally out of a window. Well, like, what if, you know, this guy was, he was in ballet. So what if you're, you know, you're doing some, uh, uh, uh, pirouettes. You're doing some, is that English? Moves. Yeah, you're doing, where you do the little turns on one, like, hell you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Your little pirouette where you put one, your toe behind your knee and then you, you, you turn on one foot. That's a curate. Yeah. I don't know about any of that stuff. Yeah. Like, I've jumped on furniture as a kid, stuff like that. I mean, near windows.
Starting point is 00:23:46 What if you accidentally were performing a serious. of ballet movements and you just That sounds like those are coordinated movements that seem pretty controlled. I was a kid throwing myself onto furniture and off of furniture all the time near windows. I bet you fell out of windows console. Never did it. You didn't. Not once.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Interesting. Interesting how that is. Maybe the windows are different over there. Are they in the floor? It makes sense, right? Maybe they are. I don't know. So apparently they said the Shuggerov went out to the balcony to get some air.
Starting point is 00:24:21 before he lost his balance. I guess it was a little bulk. It sounds like a fire escape, one would maybe call that. I don't know. But, yeah, interesting how that happens, right? Very... The ballet dancer lost what? Balance.
Starting point is 00:24:38 He lost his balance out there. Yeah, the ballet dancer. A star dancer. Of all the people to have balance in the world. You would think. It would be ballet dancers. Yeah, you would think so. But he lost balance.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Russia. You know, I think that maybe it's off the axis a little bit over there. I don't know. It's maybe contributed to it. I'm sure there's a completely reasonable explanation, right? Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
