Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. I'm not quite sure how something like this happens, but it did. This is Fox 35 in Orlando. A Florida man allegedly swapped tags and stole a $6,500 piece of art for just $50. It was in Lake Worth Beach, Florida. $6,500.

He swapped a tag for $50 at a business. How are you a business and you don't know it? It was in Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office that responded. They put photos on their Facebook page. They don't know who the guy is. They're still trying to find him. Let's see he's a little crazy. How do you?

I mean, he was able to pay for it. If you're the cashier, you don't know that that's the big expensive piece of art that you got. Is that Hunter's painting? Oh. Well, then it's worth less than 50. So that guy got robbed. That guy got robbed if it was. So they're looking for them. They're asking people to call crime stoppers. That's just a weird. Such a weird story. How does it even happen? Also, let's see here. This. Hmm-hmm. Hmm. Hmm. A machete threat leads to a dramatic window escape and pursuit. I'm trying to open this, but my mail is everything slow right now. This is K-H-Q-Q. Channel 7 ABC. The Pensacola, Florida. A Florida man is in jail following a series of, I would say, dramatic events where victims were threatened

with a machete. The suspect jumped out of a window and was evolved in a getaway. Roderick Lewis, 39 years old. He is 39. Oh my gosh. Was charged with aggravated battery with a weapon, resisting an officer without violence and he had possession of marijuana. His girlfriend, it's always a crystal.

41-year-old Crystal Sorrel. Damn you, Crystal. Was charged with fleeing and eluding. deputies were called to a custody dispute, and apparently Lewis drove up in a Jeep, got out with a machete in his hand, and threatened them before leaving, according to Ascambia County Sheriff's office, if threatened the victims. He jumped through a glass window while he was, how do you do it while you're detained, according to authorities. They claim that Lewis ran from deputies and got away. The next day, a deputy saw Lewis's Jeep. Sorrel was driving, and Lewis was in the passenger seat. Deputy tried to get Sorrel to stop. She refused. Sped away at 70 miles per hour. So they conducted.

a pit maneuver. I don't know what that is, but sounds cool, which made the Jeep stop. And Lewis took off running. Is that where they throw the spikes down? That's when they bump the back of the car to the left or the right, depending on which side of the car they're on, and then it spins. That's the pit maneuver. Don't try that at home, kids. They finally caught him in the backyard of a home, and they arrested him. So he had injuries, and he's got as visible by his mugshot, he is on $13,000 bond. Okay, this I'm immediately getting into this. A shrink-wrapped Florida man

tried to check in his luggage at the Miami International Airport. What? Is it cheaper? It's like a flat Stanley maneuver. Remember flat Stanley? Many things are not permitted in check bags, but apparently people, I don't know. So this is a story.

It was August 27th when this happened. And they said that a man who was described as tightly swaddled and shrink wrap. Good heavens. Tightly swaddled. Hopped up on the airline's check-in counter and a companion guided him to the baggage drop counter where he picked up the barcode scanner and checked his actual dude friend wrapped

up and shrink wrap for the flight. And then he sat on the scale and people were like just looking at they were bewildered. It didn't say how much you weighed. But they said that, I don't know, I don't care. care about how much. What did they do? They just shared videos of it and I mean he tried to do it. I don't know if he made it on there. I don't think you can do that. I think that there's

like federal regulation. What if you identify his luggage though? I wonder if it's even pressurized the same. I'm sure the temperature's not the same. No, the temperature is totally not the same. I wouldn't even try it. That's why they say like short-nosed dogs like bracy phallics don't do well when you know if you check them. That has to be so stressful.

I mean, think about it. Like flying anyway is stressful. I can't imagine being an animal to be boarded. But the dude though. What if he identifies as a piece of luggage. Think about it. Who are you to question his pronouns? What if he identified his luggage? And also, how do you get out of the shrink wrap? I would already be freaking out. I don't like to be constrained like that. That would, it bothers me even thinking about it, that he's all shrink wrapped. That's just weird. People are weird. Why do they do this? I don't know. And a Florida woman is accused of keen cheater on a man's car. Elena Owen 18 faces charges

of criminal mischief and she looks proud about it. Palm Bay, Florida. She was arrested after she heavily damaged this feller's car, 23-year-old Charles Cooler. And, yeah, apparently there was a little bit of a domestic incident, and then she found out that he cheated, and then wrote Cheater and Lil male copulatory organ keyed it on the hood. I can't say what it is. I played a famous supporting character, Sam Wise Gamji, in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And people have told me for the last 24 years since they've been watching that, how

much they feel that Sam is a hero. We've been watching Kamla Harris in a very powerful supporting role for the last three and a half years. She's now stepped out. She's ready. She's strong. And I just want to, I don't want to miss this moment in history. You know he blocked me on X. Samwise Gangeet, GAMG, Doris Day is his mom. And that dude blocked me. He was an Encino man, Sean Austin, Aston. Yeah. I thought it was Patty Duke. Oh, Patty Duke. Whatever. One of them blunt. bonds from the 50s. Pettie do, whatever.

That was his mom. He blocked me after Parkland, and I never was like really mean or anything, but he was just a bag of male copulatory organs. I just have no, he was just like, he was a little jerk. I can't, it almost ruins it for me. Samwise Gimji, though, he's trying to compare Kamala Harris to his character. In what way? Welcome back to the program.

I know we have other audio we could play, but I was like, no. I have to have this one. Welcome back. Dana Lash with you. Top of the second hour. I, because you guys know I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan. Never fail. I can bring any situation back.

Why are you nodding like that? Any situation back to Lord of the Rings. Everything in life can be walked right to Lord of the Rings. Every single thing. And, you know, he's sort of like Saramon switching sides there. That's it. he's like. And Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris would be more like that one

orc that tried and failed to go after the Hobbits. You know what I mean? Just saying. Because she failed. That's my whole thing. Like she was carrying out somebody's stuff and she couldn't do it. I don't know. Why do they got to do that?

Why do they have to do that? He's not the only, because it's Venice Film Festival, so all the celebrities are there. And of course, everybody's asking these celebrities about Kamala Harris, which, is going to convince, you know, fly over America to support Kamala Harris, like asking all of these overfed celebrities at the Venice Film Festival to weigh in on what they think of her. You know, that's nothing, nothing's going to do that. Come on.

I mean, that's really, I think a lot of people were really, they didn't know which way they were going to go until Ben Stiller talked about it. I'm not going to hate on Ben Stiller because I will say he's never been a jerk about it. You know what I mean? Like Ben Stiller, okay, Ben Stiller can be wrong on Kamala Harris. It's fine. And he can talk about, you know, whatever he thinks change is, et cetera. I don't know why they need change.

I mean, they've been in charge for the past four years, so why do you need change? In fact, he talks about it here. Audio Sound by 11. He's not a jerk, not like Sean Aston is. Listen. Good. Do you want to answer just a quick question? Why are you team?

What do you like about Harris' platform? Just very excited about moving forward and all the energy and excitement that's around this movement right now. So that's why I'm here because it's time for change and it seems like it's happening. You think she'll be at a sustained the momentum post-convention? For sure. You think the race is going to be close?

It's going to be close, but everybody's motivated for the work and make it happen. And she and Tim Walts are just an incredible candidates. I mean, he's so wrong. He's so wrong. It hurts me. It's like kicking my soul in the jimmies, if it had those. it's so he's so wrong because I don't dislike him but he's not a jerk he's entitled to be wrong and he was

he was nice about being wrong right he was like I just think they're great candidates he didn't go I think our candidates are amazing and years of the devil he didn't say that he's so wrong but he wasn't a jerk so I can accept that right I can't accept Sean Asson like arguing with people on X and being a jerk and then blocking people right and left or Mark Hamill I mean Golly, that guy. Yeah, he's, he's, well, I would, that's not toxic masculinity. Oh, that's right. Yeah, he's toxic femininity.

Yeah. He just looks toxic. He looks, he just doesn't look like a nice guy or saying. He was never a good actor. That's why he never really, I mean, people can sit here and talk about his voice acting, but okay. Anyway, but Ben Stiller's not a jerk about it. So I don't, if you're not a jerk, I'm cool with you. But if you're mean, then I just feel like it's my duty to,

You know, I'll match your energy. So pick how we're going to feel today. You know, this will go with it like that. I don't get why they're so excited about her now. They loathed her. I kept seeing this video and we can't play it because we'll probably get dinged on YouTube. But it's a daily show compilation. They made so much fun of her.

That was what, a year ago? They came out with this video a year ago. And they made so much fun of her. So much fun of her. And now they're, oh, we're so excited. I mean, there's so much excitement about this movement. What movement? They keep saying change and forward. What are they changing from? Well, you know, I guess you have to say change because you can't go same. That doesn't sell as well. Everyone's broke and you have to act like it's someone else's fault, even though you've been in charge for the past four years. She's been vice president.

Now they act like, we don't know where she came from. She's a breath of fresh air. She's been in the Senate and then the vice president. What are you talking about? She's been here this whole damn time. You guys are asking for a change from her. I just can't. I can't get it.

So I don't get it. I don't understand what they're. Make it make sense. Make this make sense. But they're all the celebrities. They're all in Venice for the Venice Film Festival. And of course, they're all. going to be asked this.

Now, her interview is tonight. Heirs tonight with Dana Bash. Are we going to get some more of, I don't know, audio sound bite 8? Explain to me how teams work. Our country is counsel on you. All of you. You are leaders. By the very fact that you all are here in this room,

doing what you do at this incredible store, doing it as one big team, understanding all of the different parts that fit together to create a team. She took four sentences to say one sentence. And she's talking to a high school band. You know, high school kids. What is a team? Can you explain to us what a team is?

She had Jan Hooks from Pee Wee's Big Adventure energy just then. This woman is making an authentic Mexican. tortilla. Can y'all say tortilla? And then all these actual Mexicans are going, tortilla, what? Speaking of which, do you have me, Evo Longoria? Oh, yeah. Can you,

Kane's very excited about this. Kane and Juan are very excited. So how, on a scale of one to Cise Pue Paudway, what is this? Oh, good Lord. This is horrific. You mean from Cese Paudway to Latinx? This is somewhere

closer to Latinx. Oh, okay. And she supports us to dream big too. So let me tell you, in the Latino community, in our community, we have a saying, si se pui'i, which means, yes. It means yes, we can. But tonight, I'm here to tell you, yes, she can. So we're going to say, she can't.

I ask you, is she ready to lead this country forward? We're going to say, she's se pui'i'i. For the... Oh my gosh. These people live in an Adobe. Can y'all say Adobe? Adobe. She say puerto? Yeah.

She. She. She's se puberty. Uh-huh. Doesn't that kind of underscore the binary, though, in Latin language, Latin-based languages? She's pissed off a little bit of the left there, or a lot of bit of the left. All the trans people are out there like, no, it's... Siz say,

Pede, it's Ciz say, it's Cis say. Or ZE say. Actually, I can't even say, ZE, yeah, that's ZE. This portion of real life is just like comedy. Oh my gosh. As we move, our partners that help bring you free radio, the folks at Keltech, the P15,

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Nevada politician Robert Ellis was found guilty of killing journalist Jeff German and sentenced to life in prison yesterday. He fatally stabbed this reporter in 2022. Democrat. It was Clark County Public Administrator. He looked at looked down and shook his head. I guess he thinks he should be able to stab people to death and there are not being any consequences. They said that according to the judge, the verdict should

send a message that can't silence the media, et cetera, et cetera. Tellis stabbed this guy, this Las Vegas Review Journal reporter after a German exposed corruption in Tellis's office that destroyed his political career and ended his marriage. And German's story was focusing on this hostile work environment in his office and how, because apparently there were people coming forward and blowing the whistle on it. There was bullying, retaliation, and an inappropriate relationship between Tellus and a staffer, all of which he

denied. And then the guy was found dead outside of his house. So I'm just, yeah. And it's just weird to me that in the video when the verdict was read, he was shaking his head, no. By the way, he's a Democrat in case you didn't know. His party rhymes with Schmemocrat. He's a what?

Democrat. Democrats. They just kill people. You know? I don't know. Living in tree. field filled neighborhoods may reduce the risk of heart disease. I don't understand what. They said that 8,000 trees planted in

areas of South Louisville, Kentucky as part of a research trial. And they used blood and other samples to, I think that there's probably more to it than that. But let's just be dumb and say trees. Yeah, it's the trees. All of a sudden, everybody gets nicer and everyone's

health magically gets better. A town officials shut down a boy's ice cream stand. And then Then fundraisers and death threats followed. Yeah, America. Norwood, Massachusetts. Bored and looking for something to do. This little boy named Danny Doherty hatched a plan to raise money for this brother's hockey team. He sold homemade ice cream.

He was selling vanilla, shaved chocolate. Ooh, fluff or not her, to about 20 people. Then he got a letter from Norwood Board of Health saying that you have to shut it down. They said that the 12-year-old setup violated their food code because apparently the state of Massachusetts doesn't think that people who go and buy ice cream. a 12-year-old stand might not realize that a 12-year-old made it and might mistake themselves for being in a professional grocery store, you know, because there isn't any other indications to let them know that they're two separate areas and two separate situations, and they don't

know which one they may be in. Yeah, so they actually had to take it down, and then the officials, I mean, they received a wave of pushback, and I really, I'm supposed to feel bad for anybody in this story other than the 12-year-old? Because I don't. I really don't. The kid's mom encouraged her son to start. I thought it was great. You know, he could be out there doing drugs or, you know, shooting people up all of Chicago. But hey, what, he's not. He's out there making money like a good little capitalist.

And you can't have that in Massachusetts. No money to be made. A killing of invasive owls is to ramp up on the West Coast in a bid to save the native birds. I love it when leftists discover culling herds. They're like, wow, we're going to have to kill some of them to save them. You mean like culling the herds? What you always bitch and moan about whenever ranchers and farmers do it? U.S. Wildlife officials are drastically scaling up efforts to kill invasive barred owls.

They're crowding out imperiled native owls. Can I have some? Like, why don't you just make it to where I can have some of them as pets? I've always wanted an owl. I have a horrible story about an owl. Well, let's not talk about that right now. Also, Peloton is horrible, and they're slammed for charging a $95 activation fee because people are selling. I have a Peloton bike if anybody wants to buy it.

I've used it five times. the $95 activation fee because they're trying to get more money now that people are reselling them. So there's this Washington Free Beacon piece. Washington Free Beacon that has this piece out. And they noted that apparently she said that she had worked at McDonald's doing fries, but she never mentioned it until she ran for president, right? So she said, I did fries. She claims that she worked at McDonald's.

another big thing now. She said she worked at McDonald's. After she, but after she graduated college, they noted that her resume doesn't mention this. And she was on, I think it was, Drew Barrymore show, because this came back up now on the campaign trail. And one of them

said, oh, I heard a rumor that you worked at McDonald's. And she goes, yes, I did. I did fries. And then I was the cashier. And you know, ha, ha, ha, she's just like us, right? That's her. And this, now that now the campaign is trying to leverage this as a way of, I think, trying to humanize her. Look, she's just like you. She also worked at McDonald's or something to that effect.

And I don't know, because now nobody can find anything about it. And then there's the Politico. There was the thing in Politico that had a campaign ad. And it was an early cut. So it hasn't aired yet. And it was August 14th. And they said that she worked at McDonald's to pay her way through college. So it went from casually, I worked at McDonald's. I did fries and then I did this too. She had to work at McDonald's to pay her way through college and that's the way that the campaign is representing it. And the free, Politico ran that story and the free beacon was asking, okay, well, when did she work there? Why is this only now just coming up? And is that And it sounds weird to ask whether or not that's true.

But then when you consider her running mate and all the stuff, the goofy stuff that he's lied about, I don't understand why people lie over the most, the easiest, most demonstrably proven false things. I will never, in all of my years, I will never understand why people lie about the stupid stuff. Why? Why would you make up a thing about it? I worked and then turn it into a big thing. that you know you're going to get fact checked on. Why would you do that? So then the New York Times apparently

wrote about how she went, returned to the Bay Area. I'm reading this. Return to the Bay area for a summer during college when she worked at a McDonald's in Alameda next to Oakland. And she was attending college at Howard University in D.C. They said some of the details

of the job varied, others are murky. Okay. And then she had her memoir that she came out with. ahead of her 2020 primary run in which she said that she held many jobs in college. And she didn't mention McDonald's then. She just said she held many jobs in college. And then she had a whole chapter per free beacon devoted to the industry's quote unquote starvation wages.

She also doesn't mention it in her 2009 book. And the other, I don't know how many. biographies of this woman we need. There's like four of them, apparently. There's another one in 21 that doesn't mention it, but now the campaign's making a big deal out of it. So of course, you know, the free beacons, like, let's go out and look. So they went and they were looking at all of this, and apparently there's no evidence of it. She only lists like three jobs on this one application. This was Hastings College of Law. She only listened to one. She never mentioned McDonald's. She only listed like three other jobs. Is she like,

Is this like poverty cosplay? It's like you're faking this so that you can seem like you're one of the people. I'm just trying to understand, you know, her approach here. I can't stand when people do that either. You know what? I can't, I'm going to tell you all something that I can't, I also cannot stand. I cannot stand when people fake being country. That aggravates me to no end.

And these politicians, and I see it with Waltz and I see it with these other people, they do this all the time. Like they're totally, you know, regular average. everyday coastal people, then they go over to flyover nation and all of a sudden they get a twang and then they try to play up like redneck roots or something. You're never going to full actual rednecks playing as a redneck. You're never going to do this. You're never going to go to Appalachia Country and like fake out people and act like you're one of them. You're never going to go to Southern Missouri and fake people out and act like you're one of them. You're never going to go to

Texas and fake people out and act like you're one of them. It's never going to happen. I don't know why people try to do this. You're not going to act like you're one of the pores or one of the proletariat or one one of the plebs. You're not going to fake people out. They can see you coming a mile away. And the only people who buy into it are the people who are blind enough and stupid enough to vote for you regardless. Why they do this? I have no clue. I do not get it. Bill Clinton used to do that all the time. I remember when I was in high school and I always thought it was weird. Biden's done. Well, hell, yeah, Biden's done it. Biden's like, yeah, he, golly. I mean, you're not going to fool these people.

These people, look, I'm going to tell you, because I got friends who are from Appalachia and then I've got family from Southern Missouri, you're talking about hibblets and moonshiders. You are not going to freak out people whose entire families have come up running away from the system trying to make that moonshine. You are not going to fake them people out. They are used to sniffing you out. They know you. You're a fed. They know you.

Why do you think that you're? I don't. at this. They just think everybody's dumb is what it is. I don't know. The whole thing, though, is fascinating to me. Why they, and then they get, they get themselves in trouble. I don't know if because, okay, so this is only, I think the interview has already been pre-taped. So, I doubt this story is going to come up. But I do think it's an interesting question. Why do you feel the need to fake this stuff? What is it about your candidacy? that you feel like you need to manufacture backgrounds like this,

why can't you just reach people through your policy instead of having to fabricate this, you know, fantastical background for yourself? That would be a tough question for them, wouldn't it? Yeah, I don't think that's one that she'd answer. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
