Starting point is 00:00:00 Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Okay, so a Florida, this is crazy. People get nuts in parking lots. I mean, I think everybody knows this. A Florida man struck a pregnant woman with his car over a parking space. dispute. This is crazy. So he was arrested. This was a winery and restaurant in Coconut Creek.
Starting point is 00:00:45 And so according to the probable cause arrest affidavit, the woman was leaving the restaurant. She had to carry some items from inside to her car. Her husband went to get the car so he could move to a parking spot in front of the building. She was standing in the spot as her husband was driving around while the defendant, 45-year-old Brian Papula, pulled up in his car. The victim told him that she was saving the spot for her husband who was driving around, but he shook his head and proceeded to pull forward. The car struck her knee. He actually hit her in the knee, which forced her to move back and she lost a shoe. And she said that if she hadn't moved, he would have run her over. Paramedics responded to the scene, but she didn't need to go to the
Starting point is 00:01:29 hospital. Papilla told cops that he moved forward at a, quote, slow speed. And he told her, you can't save spots. So after parking his vehicle, he walked into a restaurant. And he said he was in a rush. So Broward County Sheriff's arrested him on one kind of aggravated battery on a pregnant person. He was taken to jail. He's since posted 5,000 bond. If I was the husband, I'd beaten his ass right there in the parking lot because that's insane. First off, yes, it's tacky to say. parking spots. But that's a woman and she was visibly pregnant and he's a 45-year-old man who has no problems walking under his own strength. Be the gentleman. Or if you can't be the gentleman, then tell yourself you're going to be the bigger person and just don't do stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:02:16 You know, I mean, he ought to be, he's lucky that she wouldn't carry him because she would have been within her rights in my estimation to draw on him because you're threatening her with a weapon, which is your vehicle. And there's a reason why vehicular manslaughter and charges and Evolving vehicles with injuring people are actionable offenses. So this guy's lucky that that's all he got. What a D bag. That's insane. Be smarter than that guy.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Good grief. People are stupid. Let's see. So this, I got to talk about this lady just because of her lashes. Kane, I just need you to get a gander than lashes. Okay, we're going to try this lady's name here. So she got arrested in connection with at least three bad date Rolex theft cases. So apparently she dates rich dudes and steals her watch.
Starting point is 00:03:07 One guy had his Rolex watch and a Versace gold chain valued at $14,000 stolen. So her name is Antrinasia. Antrinasia. I think that's right? Or on Trinasia. I don't know. On Trinia, probably. It looks like she cut a,
Starting point is 00:03:27 spider in half and then glued each of the spider side to her eyes because those lashes are out of control. Anyway, she's from Miami Gardens, 24 years old. She apparently meets with these gents and steals their stuff. So men, don't be hos. Okay, just don't be like that and you won't find yourself with questionable, with women of ill repute who are going to steal you of your jewels. She just doesn't steal. It's like these guys end up severely passed out. out. Like, I, oh yeah, it's like some ripnol or whatever they call. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. She, they, they, they put him to sleepy sleep and then take all their stuff. Just pulling a Cosby on these guys. Pulling a Cosby. And a Florida man was arrested for calling 911 five times in one day. You can't do that,
Starting point is 00:04:15 especially when you just want to complain about stuff in your neighborhood. And that's what this feller did. We'll talk more about that tomorrow. Stick with us. Keltex KS7 Gen 2 shotgun. It's one of the newest ones that they've made. It's on the popular KS7 platform. form. The Gen 2 is packed with all kinds of upgrades. You have a five-slot, picatinny-style rail that lets you add vertical grips, lights. You can keep it flush and sleek with a cap if you want. It's a smoother pump action for faster, cleaner cycling. And you also have enhanced durability. Ultra lightweight. It's just under seven pounds unloaded. Compact bullpup design. So you have maneuverability and tight spaces, ambidextrous downward shell ejection and a seven plus one capacity for
Starting point is 00:04:57 stopping power. And MSRP makes it affordable at just $639. So it brings all of that well within reach. It's from KELTEC-E-C-Weapons.com made here in the USA. That's Keltekweapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you. Content in different sizes. So part of what we're testing out now is it's amazing to be able to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes. But how can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And where can I share that with you and how that continues to grow as ever? So exploring all the options of what it could look like. Oh, gag me. So that's that whiny, balding redheads game show wife. I'm just not fans of them.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I've not been, I never really followed them. That's that Megan Markle lady. I've never really followed them until she pulled this stunt. Because I don't get into British, like, wannabe royals or royalty. But she pulled this stunt where she went down to Evaldi. She chartered a jet, flew down to Evaldi with a can. camera crew and had people take pictures of her lay flowers outside that school. And after that, I was like, you are on my burnt list. Wow, that was so tacky and had a whole camera crew follow
Starting point is 00:06:16 her. Because, you know, how can I make this about myself is what she asks herself every single day. I think that she actually is representative of a larger issue. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. Chats at Rumble Channel 347 where you can watch the radio program. So if you're unfamiliar, I think everybody knows the prince over there, the prince and princess of whales. These seem like decent people. They seem very nice, right? They seem like, you know, very respectable, quiet, no complainers. They just, you know, keep their heads down, kind of do the work that they're supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I guess they go and sponsor a lot of charities and do a lot of philanthropy. And then you got this spare who apparently has all the charities dumping him. He made a mess of Centi Bale, the one charity that was over in Africa, made a mess of it to where he got accused by the people in the charity of they were trying to, I guess, use it as a mechanism to just defend and promote his wife. And then another charity said that they wanted to discontinue association with him because it's, they basically accused him of being a colonizer. And so now he lives in California.
Starting point is 00:07:26 So if you don't follow it because you have a life, let me just lay it out. So they got this Netflix deal that I think that they overinflated the page, the check and the scope of what they were going to do in the press because they needed to desperately come out and look like they were winners in something, right? So they did this deal where they did their documentary, which it wasn't a huge hit. Like Victoria Beckham has a documentary right now that's like number one. The Beckham stuff, everything that they do is a hit. One, one, number one, number one, number one. So they did this and that didn't last very long. this cooking show, which didn't even take place in her house, you could tell, I can watch somebody
Starting point is 00:08:04 and tell if you know how to cook. A cook knows if someone can cook or not. You can watch someone prepare vegetables. You can watch and prepare meat. You can watch, you know, how they, uh, what, how they, you manipulate the pan and everything else. You can tell if somebody cooks. When she was chopping stuff on her show, I was terrified that she was going to cut a finger off. It was just sloppy and you can, she just got the thing because of, who, who she married. And they're really trying to like make themselves, uh, really influential, not just in culture, but in politics. Remember, these are people who also, they got US aid money, apparently. Their little groups got USAID money. And apparently they were also trying to
Starting point is 00:08:48 add their voices to those on the left that wanted on, under Biden, that were trying to get big tech to crack down on misinformation and disinformation and all that nonsense. And apparently they were also part of it. So fair skin. right it's all fair a game now so anyway she was the one who got pictured using the canning tongs incorrectly didn't know how to can so i don't know what she's doing at this fortune 500 thing do you know what she was doing there because she she what was the point of her being there because it it was about female executives and she's never built anything she only got where she was because she slept with the spare and got knocked up let's be honest about it i mean that's you know i guess that's one way
Starting point is 00:09:29 to do it. But, you know, don't sit here and call yourself a female founder when you married the money and you married the prestige. You didn't build anything for yourself. You committed the greatest sin in your glorious Steinem feminism rule book. You didn't make it yourself. You married it. Otherwise, nobody cares. She was a zealous actress and was occasionally on a Canadian TV show. That was it. Everywhere she's got, it's everywhere she's ever gone. It's because a man put her there. Her dad put her here. A boyfriend put her there. Another boyfriend put her there. Another boyfriend put her there. and then now the husband. So she's never really built anything by herself.
Starting point is 00:10:04 You know, I mean, fine, be happy who you are, but don't sit here and, you know, pull a snow job on everybody else and act like you built it. That's not being genuine. It's not being truthful to people. But I don't know why she's, I don't know why she's there.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And I think that she's indicative of a large problem with like the leftist influencer psyche. I don't know. It's just, it's a weird thing. There's more audio of her. This is, because they, they, They had that as ever show.
Starting point is 00:10:31 And then she said, this is 20. Suits is a show that no one watched and no one even knew about until she married the spare. This is cut 20. It's been incredible because when I was on suits, that was my last time really in a position with a very large team. We had a crew of 200 people. That's not true. And I worked on the show for seven years. And I loved the crew.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I love that experience. and the culture that's on set as well. And so I think being able to now have my own business is very different than being on set. And even the set for with Love Megan, that's a crew of 80 people. It's still a very large crew. But for my business,
Starting point is 00:11:15 I've been very decisive about having a lean team. I think you want to have a great soundboard of people. She says that she has so many people working for her. She can't fit them into her house. So she's not even consistent. And she was only ever on suits a couple of times. Her, she doesn't, she has, she does not, she's not a business person. She white labels product.
Starting point is 00:11:36 And then they purposefully restrict access to promote the falsehood of sales. So they only come out with a very limited number. And then they act like, oh my gosh, demand is crazy. We sold out. It's a marketing trick. And when I say white label, everybody knows how that works, right? You have another company, another entity that. already has a product and you just switch the labels out. You just white label it.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Apparently she did that to her rosé and the marmalade spread that doesn't even actually use oranges. She had orange marmalade. It uses frozen, they used frozen orange juice to make it. It's not even, it's just a bunch of sugary nonsense and it's runny and it's not even actual marmalade. It's all fake. Isn't this like the whole leftist thing? Fake, fake, fake. Everything's fake. They're going to try to sell you something that they don't actually have. this is a common theme whether you are a leftist content creator or a democrat politician on the hill is that not a common theme but i just i also can't stand one of the reasons i don't like her because i hate the falseness of this content creation so much is curated this is why i don't do anything
Starting point is 00:12:49 like this on my instagram account let me give you a little insight our sales team is about to murder me because they oh my gosh god love them but i know that they want to string me up cane and you know it's true because I'm like, I'm not going to sit here and promote products and act like I'm not selling people something on Instagram. There is so much, I'm going to be real with you, there's so much money that we've turned down. And, because I don't need it, but also it just feels cringe. You know what I mean? It's just so cringe. Like, I'm even very specific with sponsors that come into our show. And if you notice, like the sponsors that are on this radio program, I've been doing radio since 2008. October 28th, 2008 was my first show.
Starting point is 00:13:30 And a lot of the sponsors that we have on radio have literally been with me since the beginning. Look how long Superbeats has been with me. Look how long Patriot Mobile has been with me. We develop real relationships with these people, but we also have a very high bar of who we work with. And it really aggravates some of the folks in sales. God love them because they're all about selling. And that's how we pay for this. That's why you don't have to pay a subscription fee.
Starting point is 00:13:55 That's why you're watching for free right now. And, you know, the chat can come together and they have that community. And, you know, the rest of us, you know, we can sit down and chill out and talk, you know, three hours a day every day. Well, we're very particular about it because I just think it's just cringe and it doesn't serve anyone to do it otherwise. This is like the consumerist culture. You want to look like you are a cook or a little homemaker or whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:18 And she's not, she doesn't do it. So it doesn't come off as being genuine. It doesn't come off as being authentic. And then if you. criticize it or point out this truth, then there's, then the, the accusations fly at you. Like there's something wrong with you because you don't accept this obviously, obvious marketing attempt. You don't accept it as being authentic. So the problem is you. I can't stand that. It is just this gaslighting that's in politics. It's in consumerism. It is, it's in arts and
Starting point is 00:14:48 entertainment. It's everywhere. It's just so false. It's so ridiculous. So, Yeah, we have a high bar with what we work with. And this is why I don't like doing this content stuff on Instagram. I allowed, we have a great social media team. And so you might have noticed if you follow me for any period of time. Now they post videos from the show and they do things like that. And that's fine. But I have a major problem with like pushing product. We did this experiment one time. I did. And I didn't even get paid off of it. I just wanted to offer something to because the audience can be very picky. it was this candle company that was based in Norlands and they happened to notice that I liked one of their products
Starting point is 00:15:29 and they said hey we're you know if you would make a post about us we'll give everybody that that buys through using your code 20% off and I'm like oh that's like a nice thing to do for everybody and everyone's like what is this all the comments were what is this are you going to start promoting products now and I'm like no I just they literally offered to do something nice for people so it was the last time I did it because everybody was so suspicious of it. They were like, what is this? And it literally, I didn't make a dime. I've never
Starting point is 00:15:59 ever made a dime off a product on Instagram. I'd never done any of that stuff. And they were so suspicious of it. So I never, I was like, I just wanted to give you 20% off. I thought it was a nice thing. There's their stuff was made in the USA. I'm not going to do it again. Don't worry. But it's weird. And I, I just, I don't know. I just don't get into that. Also, I think a lot of the things with the Harry and Megan thing, and again, you don't have to get into British royalty. it also on a different scale a representation of the crassness of progressive culture and then the politeness and well-mannered nature of a more traditional culture on display? Doesn't it seem that way? I mean, I think that it's a roar shock test. How you feel about them is a roar shock
Starting point is 00:16:44 test for sure. But I have no idea why she's doing these things. And she tried meeting Kamala Harris, remember and they acted like it was a big thing that they were they were endorsing Kamala Harris and she signs all of her stuff with duchess we don't have a royalty over we don't have royalty over here we don't do that we don't do stupid titles we don't do the hereditary stuff over here i get it that newvo rich people are obsessed with that stuff we don't do that over here fall has a way of making you slow down and indulge in the comforts of homes swapping busy summer days for quiet weekends and cozy evenings with your favorite shows and restorative self-care rituals you didn't think it could get any better until Bull and Branch turned your bed into a sanctuary of comfort with the softest,

Starting point is 00:18:08 Dana's Quick Five. Can I just say Phil Collins does not get enough love? He's the only guy who could show up looking like an IT worker and go back and jam his heart out on the drums and then like write amazing songs with fabulous harmonies and rhythms, and then just hit after hit after hit. I mean, the man's a legend. Facts. No lies detected. Oh, good grief. New pandemic fears as a swine flu strain was found in ferrets and it mutates to hit human.
Starting point is 00:18:36 How do you get pig flu in a ferret and now it's in a person? What are you doing, China? Quit being weird. Quit doing weird stuff with your animals over there. I have no idea, but I don't believe it and I don't care. Also, I don't understand having ferrets as like a pet. It's a weasel, right? Isn't it a weasel?
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah. They're bummed up. Are they? Don't they stink? I don't know. I mean, I literally don't laugh at me, but I literally bought, like, dog perfume on Amazon for my dog. That's, like, dog friendly because I was like, he goes outside and he gets B-O, dog B-O, and I'm like, oh. That.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Anyway, could never do a ferret. I don't care. I'm going to eat pork. Let's see. New York Sun revives print edition. Nobody cares. Sam Altwin says chat GP. No. No. Do we need this?
Starting point is 00:19:29 Chat GPT is going to get skanky. It's going to turn into a sex bot. A chat sex bot. That's disgusting. So not only can we get inaccurate information, but now they'll sext us too. Do we need any of this? No. Where's the comet? Where's the smod? Where's the sweetmead?
Starting point is 00:19:49 year of death. I mean, just we're begging here, please. Humans, let's see, under 50% AI over 50%. The share of articles that have been written by humans are generated by AI. Isn't there software where you can test that stuff and see? I'm really curious. I would like to do some of that, like to test. More than 50% of the articles online are written by AI. More than 50%? I can proudly say that nothing on my newsletter has ever been written by AI. I don't, I don't, I don't trust it. And plus, it's like you still would have to do the work of fact-checking it, right? So what's the point of having AI do when you have to do all the, you have to fact-check it anyway? But apparently articles generated by AI, a number of those written by humans. So basically
Starting point is 00:20:33 journalists are letting AI out code them, right? That's kind of, that's the truth of it. That's interesting. So they're outsourcing all their stuff to AI. That's over 50 percent. That's insane of news articles that you're reading. You probably read an article today without knowing that was completely completely AI generated. It's wild. Soon you're going to be able to shop Walmart in chat GPT. According to Wall Street Journal, that's kind of weird. I don't, I wouldn't want to do that. They're saying that retail giant signals that online shopping is about to change. They're partnering with open AI to allow shoppers to buy their products directly within chat GPT. Who needs to do that? Like, what are they doing in chat GPT that you can be interrupted and shop? That's weird. So you're
Starting point is 00:21:17 like researching something or studying? something and then also do we have to be able to shop everywhere all the time isn't that kind of just like fueling this this consumerist kind of culture that we have just for heaven's sake just stop we don't need any of that i wanted to show this threat i had this in my last hour but i wanted to move it moving it over here so there's new data out that shows that trans identification is in free fall among amongst younger people. That is pretty significant because I think it's a social contagion completely. It very much is a social contagion. This is a fascinating piece. And I was reading about it the study that they have and the Washington Times has more on this. They had written up this study that it's just absolutely
Starting point is 00:22:20 nose dived. The trend in identifying as trans. It's in a free fall. Now, maybe it's if it was really a biological thing, I don't think that you would be worried about
Starting point is 00:22:38 the free falliness of it, would you? I mean, it would be, if it's science is science, right? Golly, the pop-ups are crazy. Stop it. The basically what they're concluding is that the identification is, quote, going out of fashion. The percentage of university students who do not identify as male or female, it said it plunged from 2023 to 25 in three of the
Starting point is 00:23:08 five surveys, and this is a professor at the University of Birmingham in England and the director of the Center for Social Science, Heterodox Social Science. They said, Trans, queer, and bisexual identities are in rapid decline among young educated Americans. The report is titled The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity Among Young Americans. It was released yesterday. Now, the data, they're talking about the, yeah, right? The drop in trans identities. This is really what I was getting ready to say.
Starting point is 00:23:47 The timing is very interesting. King, what has been one of the, speaking of trans, what's been one of the trans issues that's been in the headlines quite a bit? Well, violence in a general way, but they've been essentially the only mass shooters of note for the past couple years. Kind of interesting. Hmm. They, there are other, by the way, there are, this isn't the only survey that has shown this.
Starting point is 00:24:15 There was a survey showing a decline in Andover Phillips Academy poll, and Brown University conducted a student, they conducted a survey as well, and they concluded the same thing. So you have three independent surveys, which have all concluded, that there is a, not just, I mean, a very precipitous drop.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And they, there's also, sorry, there's, all these surveys also cite the first one that was done, which was the foundation for individual rights and expression. They, they pulled over 50,000, 50,000 college students.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And it's dropped by half. the identification because it's a social contagion. And it's triggered in people that I think are mentally ill or that are very lonely. The, uh, it's going away. Now, what's interesting is that the professor noted because this same trend, they found it at Brown University, they've been finding it, uh, and they, they've lost, uh, three court. Their is actually went from where five percent of students said they were in non-binary in 2023, two years later, barely over two percent did. That's wildly significant. And what the survey, what they were discussing was that it is a sign, and this is what's interesting, the sentence used is, quote, a sign that fashions are changing, that trends are
Starting point is 00:25:44 changing. So it's not fashionable any longer to identify as trans, to do all of the, the, you know, to say that you're a men saying that they're women, women saying that they're men. Now, it's not just that. They said that pansexual, asexual, and two-spirit, what are, what are, how many were there? I don't, I don't want to know. I don't know. So all of the other ones. No one knows.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah. They said that these studies, well, of the three studies, two of them also looked at what they described as non-heterosexual definitions. No, it's not gay. It's all the other stuff, is what they're saying. It's the two-spirit, asexual, pan-sexual. I don't even know what, literally, I don't even know what some of these are. I think they're just completely made up.
Starting point is 00:26:36 But they said that there is a, it's not just the trans stuff. It plummeted by over 10 points, a decline in all of the other, that stuff. The pan-a-sexual, two, all that stuff. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, two sexes, infinite personalities. it's it's very interesting now they also said the number of heterosexual students rose in 2025 to 77 percent it was in the 60s and it's risen to 77 percent now here's what's interesting you know what didn't change at all just you're this is I'm not trying to be mean
Starting point is 00:27:18 but I have no other way to describe it your basic gays the basic gays and the basic lesbians they said were, quote, largely stable. That was it. Nothing else changed. All the other ones changed. The trans and then the other stuff. And then more heterosexual identification. Some people are saying it's an anti-woke vibe shift.
Starting point is 00:27:42 But here's something else. They're trying to say also, maybe it's a religious affiliation. Now, this gets into this cut that we have here. Audio, this is cut 26. Go ahead and play this. Because when we say we're in a revival, it's not a joke. Listen. A Christian revival across the country.
