Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. All right, so a Florida man's brake lights led deputies to a major

fentanyl, heroin, and meth bust. It was a routine traffic stop, and deputies discovered a ton, well, lots of grams, of fentanyl and various illegal substances. Hernando County Sheriff, they said that, this was back on April 12th, but they're not having all the legal stuff now. They conducted a routine patrol when they spotted a green

sedan, and they had all these equipment violations, malfunctioning brake lights, inoperable tag light, whatever. And the guy said, oh yeah, my brake lights when they pulled him over, they're not working properly. And he consented to a search of the vehicle telling deputies, there should be no drugs in here. Okay, when you say that, there's going to be drugs on the car. Like, what do you mean there should be. Like you had some and you dropped him off or like you're going to get it. Like what? And they found almost

34 grams of fentanyl a gram of heroin, 12 grams of meth, 18 grams of marijuana and then all kinds of drug related paraphernalia. But the fentanyl, that's a ton of fentanyl. That's a lot of fentanyl. So they arrested him. He was accused of

trafficking because that's he had the amount. Possession of controlled substances, all kinds of stuff. So he went to depokie. Yeah, when you're like, no, there shouldn't be any drugs. That's like coming up to me and, you know. Like, yeah, Dana, there shouldn't be any guns. I mean, I just, there shouldn't be.

I mean, I don't know. Oops, forgot about that one. I'm fascinated by this story about the guy, this guy with the unpermitted dumps. So a Florida man operates unpermitted dumps. And the neighbors told on him, he's facing two civil lawsuits, Maximo Sanchez and criminal. How do you, okay, how do you operate an unpermitted dump? It's when you dump things on the ground.

And it's not like a dumpster or a landfill? But does it act as a landfill and it just doesn't? Apparently there's rules that he violated as to where this junk should be put. this is in Tampa and they so it's a facility apparently it's in it's near the wetlands which is apparently an environmentally sensitive area and they said it could negatively impact water supply and the guy promised to clean it up and then he never did and now he's facing civil lawsuits fines and criminal charges and they said they have like a three story high mound of construction and debris and the pile it started on a vacant

lot and it's uh the vacant lot is on uh protected wetlands and there's all kinds of trucks dumping debris at the site nonstop and the guy apparently he didn't have the required permit and they said that it's uh i mean it could seep into the water system because of how the land is is what they're saying so yeah it's a big deal i just didn't he i mean when you see the photos of it it i mean it's a giant dump site yeah and he just decided to do it with I got to be honest, when I first saw the headline yesterday, I didn't think it was going to be about junk. Oh, what did you think it was going to? Oh, you're, you.

I mean, it's Florida man. Thought he's actually doing dumps. You thought it was flip. Exactly. I mean, so that's the reason it's Florida man. So what do you think is going to happen? So, yeah, I just sent you a foot. Like, it looks, I mean, it looks like a huge, ginormous area.

Yeah, it's huge. So he's got, I just am shocked that only in Florida. man what's happening our partners that will bring you the program it's the Keltec Gen 3 sub 2k the gun that folds in half and I've told you I've been the one to describe it as gun origami and it's uh from American Florida based company Keltech the gen 3 and they have uh there's a lot of variety with the sub 2K a lot of variety with it and the gen 3 version of it first off there's a couple of different uh differences you have the optics. You don't have to detach the optics to fold it in half. The optics stay on. And it

deploys super quick and easy. It's that rotating twist. Just the twist and turn, that rotating foreign. That's all it takes. And it deploys zeroed and ready to rock. But it's also chambered in 10 millimeter. You got now available in 10 millimeter. And this is the third generation.

Tell them Dana sent you. I don't read The New Yorker because I just, I don't care. I don't live in New York, but this was too funny to not. I have a piece up at substack called never dress like your furniture unless you're rich. So they have this like super swanky photo spread in the New Yorker of all of these like big leftists and dirty hipsters. I will make an excuse. I exclude Martin Scorsesee from this. I like Martin Scorsese.

I like Martin Scorsese. First off, they took pictures of all these people in their living rooms and Martin Scorsese's house is amazing and I'm not going to know, it's a goth dream and no criticism for him. Also, I appreciate the fact that after Alec Baldwin murdered a woman on set that Hollywood was calling to get rid of guns on all films and Scorsese went crazy on everybody saying, hell no. So good for him. And he's not woke. Martin Scorsese is absolutely like the opposite of woke. He's a gem. He's a rare gem in Hollywood. So I exclude him. He's in this. But they were looking at like these New York artists and hipsters and all this stuff and taking photos of them

in their living rooms. And can I ask a question? I'm not trying to sound like purposely obtuse. Are shelves like not a thing anymore? Is it the reason I ask, do we just like put our stuff on the floor now? that's Martin Scoressize. Okay, he's the, that's him and his daughter, Francesca. Beautiful home. Perfectly. I mean, you got the lead glass.

You got the cool. I mean, it's perfect. He's excluded. So, um, the other people, though, no. The other people in this spread, they don't have his taste. I mean, that's a goth dream. Come on. That's a gath dream.

So they did this big spread. And, uh, the first thing I saw was nubby worn carpets. books on the floor because apparently it's really cool to pretend to be poor for shelves. And they, I don't even know who some of these people are. It was very important to make sure that no one in the spread have shoes or socks on. And I know that they were trying to like evoke this relaxing at home feel, but it was gross. Some feet don't need to be seen. Put them away. It's gross. I just don't like them. They're nasty. They are unfortunate things that we have to deal with as humans. But it feels forced and awkward.

it just feels like robotic and cringe. Like there's this one living room. It's the first photo that I have, but it was this woman, she's barefoot, and she's standing on this nubby green, super saturated 70s avocado theme.

Her husband's organized, like he's arranging flowers. And the whole room, like the carpet looks very thread warm. The chairs look dilapidated. that's so that's in Greenwich Village I can that looks like it smells like steel cigarettes feet and gym right like what is the point of like what look at the nubby carpet you're supposed to have like

a feel envy for this like they they're like showcasing like this is the cream de la creme de la creme one of my favorite I mean it's like literally probably literally from the 70s when I was a kid this is going to make sense in a moment my grandmother had a garden shed they did lots of stuff in the garden Shed, moonshine in the bathtub, all kinds of stuff. But my grandmother and I once found a nest of like buttons and dollheads and coins and like a sock. And it was in a garden shed that this little wood rat, like probably spent its whole little life running around, collecting stuff and that she trashed it in like minutes. And I thought about this when I saw Gloria Steinem's dresser top. She's in front of this like yellow like ochre,

ochre, or ochre, I don't know, wall. And I was looking on top of her dresser, and my first thought was who dusts all this garbage? She's got like a pack rat, like a pack rat collection on top of her dresser. It's a rat's nest. It's weird. And she looks skeletal.

She's the feminist sellout. Then you have Al Sharpton. And I don't know if you've ever, I've seen pictures of Al Sharpton's house before. he's got like this like two two story penthouse and he's in front of a portrait of himself predictably and then he's got this spotless bougie as all get out pet enclosure is that his actual bed the pet enclosure has like an acrylic water bowl in it people who have no idea what animals do apparently decided to make that maybe that's his little enclosure in his house i don't know

The big thing, though, the Pius de la Resistance was the George Soros nepo baby and Anthony Wiener's ex-wife, a.k.a. Hillary Clinton's right-hand woman. This is what kicked it all off. They are literally dressed like their chairs. Again, with the 70s avocado green. Because you can't be truly rich unless you can dress like your furniture. So here he's doing his best to convince you that he's a heterosexual male and that he likes this woman. And I just need to stop full stop right here. They're glowering at the camera as rich people do. They're not only in sync with each other.

They're in sync with their literal actual furniture because they're better and richer than you. He's a NEPA baby. I mean, can you afford to dress like your furniture? I don't think so. His little platform sneaks, they just like they just give me total Clydesdale hoof vise. and he's wearing man preys. You guys know what man preys are, right? Caprize for men.

And he's got just enough of that pale sausage canckel peeking through. Throw that photo backup one, the one where you get the NEPO babies and green. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at that. Look at the pale sausage canckel peeking through. And he's got his Clydesdale platform sneaks on, right? Her trousers are like meticulously unimmed. Like they're rebelling against.

tailoring and they has a laissez-faire attitude to like puzzles and feces and grind walking the streets of Manhattan because let's be real they don't walk the streets of Manhattan they ride on the backs of fat cherubs they flip them about to and fro and the cherubs wings are made of dollars that's what this is so I I don't know the other one that I really really love by the way look how did they look like normal people that's like that's like Scott evil Dr. Evil son Scott and his girlfriend in their Nepo baby house that this dude would never be able to afford if his daddy wasn't George Sorovs. But the other one that I thought was hysterical is the woman who's partially responsible for the scourge of modern art. I hate modern art. I hate modernity. I hate all of it.

She, her name's Agnes Gund, and she is sitting in her, apparently she only has one chair in her giant east side expanse. and I joked. I was like her and her dog take turns sitting in the one chair in their penthouse. And she's got this like all this modern art everywhere. Like one of the pieces that she has is, I kid you not, a literal black canvas with one red striped painted across. You know that's worth more than like your city that you live in. That one painting is probably worth 11.

DeCorpillion, frillion, trillion, pillion. You know that. And she's just, like, sitting there in this chair, this, like, restoration hardware-looking chair. And, I mean, I don't even understand. I just hate the art. There was, like, in addition to the Scorsese thing, there was one thing in here where it was just a framed thing of garbage pale kids, garbage pale kid cards. Now, that I literally would punch out a kid on a playground to get a garbage pale kid card. Kane, that was, like, Jolly Rangers and Garbage Pail Kids were the currency for Gen X back in the day.

Oh, no doubt. You know, like in prison, they got like cigarettes. Okay, well, in playgrounds, it was Jolly Rangers and Garbage Pale Kid Cards. Even like Pokemon cards today, you couldn't even really, I mean, it's kind of that comparison. Yeah. You didn't have really any games or, you know, got to catch them all. Oh, but, but parents, oh my gosh, parents like Pokemon cards. Back then, they thought garbage pale kid cards, oh my gosh.

Yeah, that's true. Like, that's of the devil. I don't even know who this lady is, but she is, I mean, I don't really like anything else in apartment, but the professionally framed garbage pale kid collection that she's got on her wall, it is chef's kiss. It's amazing. I do like that. That's the only thing that's like worth it.

Oh my gosh. So they did. And I get it that they were just like showcasing different people. You can't tell me that there aren't any conservatives. They had AOC there. I was looking at what she was crocheting and it looks like garbage. Like I can just tell that her gauge is all jacked up. and she's that look what is she trying to do like it's all misshapen i mean even in it's early stage

there's still some kind of form girl you cannot crochet probably as well as you cannot make a drink and how did her dog who is not supposed to jump because french bulldogs jumping is bad for their back get up on the sofa did she lift him up there i don't know but whatever i just think it's just hysterical that they decided like let's look at these insufferably except for scurzzi these insufferably liberal people in their houses and they're all trash like they have no taste There was no taste in any of it, except for Scorsese's. I mean, it looked dirty, Kane. Yeah.

For those who don't understand, will you please explain the whole avocado green thing that was, like, in the 70s and then people who didn't remodel their houses, it went all the way up into the 90s? I don't even understand it. Like appliances were that color. No, everything was that color. Toasters, your hand mixers. I mean, things, everything was that color. I'm not kidding. Everything.

Tabletops. Like actual table tops? Pables. Yeah. The floor. Oh my gosh. Doorknobs? Everything was that color.

Do you remember the stoves and the refrigerators? Yeah. We're all that green, weird green color. Avocado green. They're trying to make it come back. And it looks dirty and shabby. I don't like it. Well, yeah, it looks like how we grew up.

Yeah. And we grew up kind of poor. Yeah, we grew up poor. So it's kind of like Darylick is what they're trying to pull off right now. It's like grimy, stinky chic. I don't even know how, like stinky chic. I don't even know how to

But they're cut what There is no positive psychological response to that color. Why did they do the spread? Was it to make us not like these people? Because I dislike them more now. Nobody likes that color though. Like have you, has anyone ever told you they prefer avocado green for anything?

And can we talk about the people that have the giant modern art pieces? I hate modern art so bad because it's just so unimaginative, honestly. Oh, this is my interpretation. Oh, shut up. You can't paint. And so you just did this. Shut up. But they have like nothing in there.

Look at my big, completely obscene. Totally doesn't work with the architecture or anything else. Modern art piece. I'm so enlightened and so bleh. I gag me. I just, no. No, thanks. No thanks. That's why Scorsese is so perfect because it's all like, it just works. Every bit of it works. But this is the stuff that they run. They run this stuff thinking that this is going to appeal to you. This will appeal to you, right? No. Oh, Lorraine notes in the 80s. Do you remember? Okay, so you had, I know we're going on. Hold up. Avocado green in the 70s. In the 80s, it was cornflower blue. I had a rich friend who had, cornflower blue carpet.

Guys remember that? Who puts blue carpet in their house? It doesn't go with anything. But cornflower, that was the big thing. And mauve. Is that right? Mov? That's like a...

The purpley shelly color? I don't know. I don't do it. I'm like, that's pink. I don't know. It's like soft pink. I don't know. But everything, like as she notes,

like the toilets, the showers, the sinks, it's all that color. The appliances in your kitchen. I want all my... I want my toilet. to much my stove. I don't know, but that's what these, they think that this appeals to you because it's rich people in New York and that everybody in flyover or who is not in New York wants to be like this. Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis legalized gold and silver as acceptable currency,

meaning that Floridians cannot make transactions in gold and silver, thus creating an alternative to the U.S. dollar.

So apparently police in New Hampshire are investigating the theft of a trail camera that reviewed, they saw footage that identified a bear that stole it.

A bear apparently stole the camera, clawed it off a tree, and another bear watched from a short distance away. They got the report of a camera theft, police did, and they said that it was very suspicious. They were kind of joking about it, but I've never seen where a bear could just steal a trail cam, but okay. Fancy snake, reptile wranglers find a weird diamond-back rattlesnake in Arizona. They shared a photo of the snake that they came across in the backyard of a Scottsdale home.

These trappers called Rattlesnake Solutions, they posted photos to social media showing what appears to be a Western diamond-back rattlesnake that is a leopard-like color pattern. They said that the only normal thing about it was that the snake's bright white tail base had black spots, and that was it. So normally they have diamond-shaped patterns on their bodies, but this one said that it was a very weird. is a very weird pattern. Apparently, why are people even paying for a subscription for Netflix anyway? Netflix is going to start showing generative AI ads midway through their streams beginning next year. And they said that they're testing the amount and types of ads that they're willing to try to see what subscribers are willing to endure. And they said that it's for lower prices.

but, I mean, they're not lowering the prices. They're keeping them the same. So they said that they've created interactive mid-roll ads and pause ads that incorporate it and that they can start seeing these ads in 2026. And I'm mid-ro-so I guess it's what going to be in the middle of the, the middle of the show, I guess is what it is. The president of advertising at Netflix said they're going to be mid-roll ads. I hated that when Amazon did that.

Remember when Prime did started doing that? They launched their ad subscription tier in November of 22, and they have 300 total million subscribers. They got 94 million subscribers to the ad tier. So they said, I don't know what they think that. What's the point of paying for it if you're still going to have? That's just so stupid and shady. I think it's so lame. You know, I don't know.

It depends on how many ads. Because if I just start watching a ton of ads, I guarantee you I'm not going to, you know, if you're paying, if people are paying for it, I don't think you should be throwing ads in their face. It's not like radio where the people, the sponsors that you hear, pay for everything. That's what that is. So Washington Examiner says that clean energy is dead in the house. They were trying to incentivize and use tax incentives, essentially, to help grow nuclear power. But that's one of the things that apparently is on the cutting room floor for the sweeping fiscal overhaul.

and I mean, I don't know. They're still going to consider funding Planned Parenthood with this. I don't know. Apparently, let's see, I don't know. It's a deer that was in a drain. Okay. A new Pope got his own trading card, and it already outsold one of the most popular basketball players of all time.

That actually is interesting. The, I didn't know that you could do a Pope card, but apparently you can. It's tops. They put together a trading card for Pope Leo ahead of his inauguration later this month. They said it's already breaking records and it's now the best-selling non-sports tops card. It outsold Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and John Sina.

And of course, it's already being scalped. People are paying $195 in up just for the alternative art. That's crazy. Very, yeah, $200, like that's $200 for a Pope card. And it even beat out Lionel Messi. And LeBron James, that's insane. That's, that's, I've never heard of anything like that. before, but okay, maybe, you know, Kay, we need to get into the baseball card business. Clearly,

we are doing life wrong. The New York Times headline, I could just punch someone in the face over. I really could. I know that you guys saw this. The audacity of this piece from the New York Times. Quote, we were badly misled about the event that changed our lives. They said we were badly misled. Of course, it's about coronavirus. The woo-hoo. Here is an Here is an actual sentence from this New York Times piece. Quote. Yet in 2020, when people started speculating that a laboratory accident might have been the spark that started the COVID-19 pandemic, they were treated like cooks and cranks. Kane?

Who treated us like cooks and cranks? The media? The media. Yeah. Yeah. The left and the media. Same thing. The media.

The media. And obviously it has been unraveled, and now the media wants to claim that they were misled. We were badly misled about the origin. When you were leading the witch hunt against all of the people who were raising concerns about this, the New York Times now needs to separate itself from. this. I mean, they literally had headlines where they were besmirching good people who are asking questions about the origin. They were asking questions about coverups. They were asking questions about all of this. And now they want to play victim. They, anybody who

actually questioned the narrative that we were given in the press and asked about any kind of zoonotic origins, they were treated like witch doctors. They were treated like, like I, just they were persona non grata. They can't be allowed into the conversation. And not even on the origin. I mean, they went after people like Dr. Robert Malone that we had on, Dr. Teslori, we had our videos pulled from, from, YouTube. Censored. Because we asked questions on this program. I mean, it's, it was censorship, and we know it was censorship at the highest levels. And now they want to act as though that, oh, well, we, you know, we were misled. We're, see, we got dup too. That's how they're,

I feel like they're trying to act like, no, we're victims like you. We were so misled. You know, what's next? Like, we were so. misled. You know, women can't actually be men and men can't have babies. We were so misled. Like, what's next? Well, you heard what they did with the vaccine. The media was even putting out, well, no one was forced to take the vacs. Nobody was forced. No, they weren't. But here's this headline. Senator Tom Cotton repeats fringe theory of coronavirus origins. If you looked up like fringe and coronavirus in the New York Times in their search option, I mean, there's so many headlines that pop up over that. I mean, and this was a legitimate,

and taking something now that we, we accept as truth because the evidence supports it, everybody had evidentiary based suspicions in the beginning that were immediately discounted in favor of the political narrative that they wanted to spend, that they wanted to spend. And for them to try to retcon this and act like, oh, we were, you weren't misled, you misled people.

You were the, you're reporters. And this goes back to what we opened the program with. You are the media. Your job is to your entire, the purpose of your existence is to question government, is to question elected officials, is to question bureaucrats. That's your entire existence. If there was misleading, you misled. You weren't misled. You just swallowed it and took it at face value because it was.

easier for your political bottom line to do so. They didn't want to fall out of favor with the powers that be by asking questions. That's what the left does. And the left is, you know, the media is part of it. They don't ask questions anymore. Merely asking a question is a sign of betrayal. Someone is not accepting the narrative. They're not swallowing their narrative pill. They're asking a question. That means they're not on the same page. Thus, they are the enemy. that's how it's viewed. So questions aren't even allowed. There's no intellectual curiosity. Whatever they said went and you had to accept it now, now because it doesn't cost any political capital for them. They can, they can act like, oh yeah, we're one of you. We're questioning this.

We were all misled. No, you misled people. We were the people that you tried to mislead. and when you couldn't mislead us, you wanted to impugn our characters and thereby taint any kind of association in the minds of anyone else that was still maybe making up their minds. I mean, they, they went after the best doctors in the world, the best medical experts, the best professionals. They persecuted the media story after story about these people. Now they want to act like they're one of us? No, you don't get to do that. Badly misled, spare me with all of this. there's there's that i that's what i i think that that exchange was a very good exchange and i like levitt's response you're the reporter that's your job you investigate this stuff why the bigger

question is why isn't the press interested in investigating things from the government remember like the olden days of the old gumshoe reporter that's gone nobody nobody wants to ask those questions anymore everybody just wants a stupid insipid hot take they want a part of that attention economy. But they don't care about investigating anything. You know what? Partly because there's no rewards in it. There's no rewards in it. The only reason

the New York Times is doing this now is to save their ass. That's it. They're trying to act like, oh, no, no, we're still reputationally clean. You can still trust us. You can still subscribe. But we know that's, they were part of the problem. Thanks for tuning in to today's
