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 trying to make this one make sense. So this was in Port Charlotte. A Florida man, now let's just listen to this one sentence. Listen to this first sentence. The Florida man known to throw cans of food and other items around a Florida neighborhood, as one would do.

and at others, was arrested after a neighbor said he threw canned corn through her window and broke it, per the arrest affidavit. This happened on April 25th, the woman called Charlotte County Sheriff's Office to report vandalism. She said she was outside. She heard the sound of glass breaking. She turned around and find one of her neighbors, 38-year-old Earls Ernest Sandville, running from another neighbor's front yard back towards his home. The left front window was found broken at the top, like somebody threw something through the glass. The witness got a key from another neighbor in the neighborhood who watches the owner's house when she's away, went into the home to see what happened. And that's when they found a can of Del Monte corn inside.

The guy apparently is literally known in the area. He goes to the food banks, gets food, and then goes and throws it around at people and cars and houses. Because they need food? He has also thrown bottles of urine and chunks of raw meat. Oh. That's good. Yeah, so they're pressing charges because they go, he's always just throwing things in people. So why is he like, how long has this been going on?

Apparently a really long time. So now they're actually going to finally do something and press charges against this guy. I mean, that's kind of crazy that it goes even going on that long. Come on. A Florida man frustrated with the McDonald's drive-thru just tried stealing the cash register. Okay, well, there's other things you can do to express your discontentment. But this one, Cape Coral, the guy tried to steal a cash drawer at the McD's because he was frustrated in the drive-thru. It was four in the morning.

Police responded to a robbery in progress, and they said he got into an argument with an employee, tried stealing the register, and took off in his car. They caught up with him. He was taken into custody. They also put his photo all over social media. Like, what? Control thyself. Florida ma'am is arrested for having three wives in three different counties. Yeah, it is not an okay thing to do, feller.

they say the women said that there weren't adequate safeguards to prevent it. I don't know, maybe being a little bit curious about what the hell he's doing when he's not with you. That's probably one safeguard, you know, just like your woman's innate suspicion, do you really need the government to go, well, since you broads are too stupid to realize that he's got three wives and three counties, we're going to have to expand ourselves and make a law. Come on now. They're saying there's no safeguards. He took each one of us to a county to get married, said one of the wives. They're looking, I mean, I, how does that happen? happen. How does something like that happen? He married apparently one of them within the same year, or two of them in the same year, and in 2022. And I just, how would you not know? They met him on a dating app. And I just don't understand how you wouldn't know. He was arrested for felony, bigamy. And after the first wife figured out that there were two others. That's kind of. A, let's see, birthday seat.

Bandit, naked Florida man, caught trying to break into a lady's home. And then I got another story. I'll save this few for Monday. But a Florida man is accused of touching realtors' feet during open house showings. That's nasty. It'll be nasty and a freak elsewhere.

Innovation Performance, Keltec, K-E-L-T-E-C Weapons.com, tell them Dana sent you. Do you guys remember the letter people?

I remember the letter people. They didn't teach me how to read at all, though. They were on PBS. I just thought the song was catchy, and it sounded like it was written by a long-haired, barefoot hippie. And it was. It totally was. Tall-teeth was my favorite character. Remember tall-tee.

He's got tall-teeth. I remember that. Yeah, a letter people, it was entertaining, but they didn't teach me how to read. that's first of all welcome back it's we're in a weird mood uh Dana Lash with you we're at the bottom of this first hour we're talking about the funding the PBS stuff and how they're trying to you know the potis has this executive order Congress is going to sit here and twiddle their thumbs not do anything and then it's all gonna we're only getting a reprieve from this because Congress isn't doing anything to codify it but uh I didn't I was a latchkey kid

like the quintessential Gen Xer and these shows didn't teach me nothing although this stereotypes are true and can you can attest to this uh you know how to get blood out of clothes we grew up drinking hose water we were filled with neglect and yet we were still happy and you know pretty much thriving you know for the most part yeah because we didn't know better we knew how to make our own meals by like nine years old like we knew how to do all this we were you could throw us out in the middle of nowhere and we'd survive i think by seven i think i knew how to make a full meal by seven yeah like you would you would run around the neighborhood all day during the summer and just basically hope that some neighbor gives you a sandwich. Like one of your, your, your,

friends' families would give you a sandwich. My favorite thing in the world, there's a, there's this one family, one of my friends, their family was, our family was kind of broke. I mean, kind of, we were poor kids. But, uh, we had a friend that was, you know, pretty well off, right? I mean, you know, upper middle class. They weren't, it wasn't like dynasty or nothing, but, you know, they were pretty well up. But man, their mom would go, when she would come back from the grocery store, it was like Christmas for us. We're like, what? And they, they, would have like all this lunch meat and then uh all the potato chips i've never seen anybody buy like five bags of potato chips at the store they had two kids and i mean it was good eating it was good

eaten then not that we were poor i don't want to say like we were like well i mean when i was a kid we were yeah when i was a teenager it got a little better lunch there was like a lunch meat boom in the 80s like all the families enjoyed the old luncheon lunche luncheals and hot pockets i think i'm partially made of them and that's how we used to categorize our friends like based on what their moms would give us. Dude, right. Isn't that right? That is absolutely correct. Some moms would be like, sure, you can have Kool-Aid and some moms are like, there's too much sugar in that. Oh my gosh. The moms that made you drink just like fruit flavored water. That was abusive. You know, that right there, that that's abusive. Should have called Division of Family Services on you ladies, because that was mean. It's like you're

and you don't want to be rude and you're sipping it like, mm-hmm. So nice. Tom's mom has Doritos. Oh, man. So great. And the ones, the families that just let you take the bag and you would run around the house or whatever with your friends, there's a special place in heaven for them moms. So, yeah, that's, it just, I never learn how to read anything from these shows. But all of the leftists are like, there's going to be just an epidemic of stupid children. Well, they're already good. It's already happening. You're already, first off, that's already happening. Have you seen our test scores? Good old Randy Wine Gartons up there getting hers and then.

screwed him kids. That's how she looks at it. But only that, they're going to be able to sit here and tell you all the made-up genders, but they can't do math. So, yeah, we were already struggling academically, especially compared to some other countries, because our educational system is just insane and we punish really good educators and re-reward the frauds. And not on top of it, then you have the frauds that are like, we need to teach people about, you know, gay sex when they're in second grade. Let's do it. That's not educational. brainwashing so no wonder these people don't care about these kids i also think too and i don't know why this fascinates me it's very i think it's very nostalgic compared today's kid shows

to the kid shows of yore right i showed my kids one day this is some years ago uh bugs bunny like old bugs bunny warner brothers right and they were shocked they were shocked i forced them to watch it like this is good. We're watching Warner Brothers today. I mean, that's how I was that meme. The violence. Yeah, I was like, no, I'm going to desensitize you to this programming, this societal programming. So they watched, and they ended up loving it. I learned, I will say, it was in PBS that got me into like classical music and all of that. Not like I'm into it, into it, but I enjoy it. It was Bugs Bunny and killed a Wabbit. Got me into Wagner. Killed a Wabbit. That's, PBS didn't do that. I learned about all that from Bugs Bunny.

I learned every bit of that from Bugs Bunny. I learned about geology as an adult from Minecraft. So, I didn't learn, we didn't learn nothing from PBS or NPR. These people are lying to you, parents. They're lying to you, line to you, line your face. You know what you get now on PBS? That bald, whiny

kid, Kyu. I'm just a kid is for each day. I hate that kid. That kid made me believe in abortion. I have never joking. It's not, not. for him. Take that back. I will not. I believe he should be aborted. Abort Cayu. Do the world of favor. That Canadian whiner, it's like a bald Justin Trudeau up there.

Hate him. Hate him to death. Oh my gosh. That show would come on. Happy Friday, everyone. Well, you all, you all, you all, you think there are people out there in the audience that love Cayu. All you people watching and listening all across the nation, y'all hate that kid. I know it. But they don't let animation change their stance on abortion. I just said for him Like I don't want him to exist Like post birth I'll give into a little post birth abortion

Just for the sake of Cayu Some might call it murder Now we're going to borrow Democrats It's not murder if I say it's not murder You know Can't stand Can we have like a substantive conversation About why it's also dumb

Because how many stations across the country exist without a dime of federal money. They actually have a business model that allows them to exist. What? What is that, say government status? So over 15,000 radio stations across the country, over 2,500 broadcast TV stations across the country, they all have to operate without a dime of federal money.

Maybe during election season is about as close as they get to federal money. So I don't understand how people can conflate the two ideas where just taking away federal money doesn't mean that they can't operate as a business. They can do that if they want to. I don't understand what? What do my get, what? I don't, I don't get it.

I don't think they know how to sell anything. Of course, you know, it's all maybe get better, some better programming. I don't know. Julia Child had a program on there at the age of yore. You can see some of it on YouTube. I mean, if you want to support it, support it. I don't care, but not with, don't force everybody to do with our tax dollars. And it's all community driven, which any successful radio station is most.

mostly focus on the community. Right. So. I mean, my big thing is the way that I see these all, I mean, I've seen a number of people on the left. And like, I'm not talking about randos. I mean, you know, these are people who are on, who are cable news commentators or editorialists. And they act like this is a, a formative building block for children. They, I think that they have. They have an outsized description of the role that public broadcasting plays in the lives of people, particularly children, with us. Because every, I mean, I have a million headlines here where they're all acting like, our kids are going to be dumb and not able to read and can't do math and everything's going to go to hell because. So today? Yeah, because we're not going to be funding this stuff. and we all know that that's But are there people who believe this?

I mean, I just I argue it's because we funded this stuff Yeah Is why all of our kids are so dumb I mean, ma'am Our kids aren't dumb You know, maybe theirs are But statistically as we see now

We have a good, like We're talking above 50% That cannot read Yeah At eighth grade levels And got worse over when everything got locked down That's when Randy Weingarten And her surrogates

they just wanted to be able to have a vacation. Man, that thunder. So by the way, welcome back to the program, Dana Lash. It is Stormin Norman here in Texas. Who, boy. So again, I'm just going to warn you if the power goes out. We're going to be here in the dark. But we'll power through.

Our generator will kick in. We'll power through. But there is a chance. It's always a 50% chance. That thunder is crazy out there. It's dark. I do suspect maybe a tornado, Kane. It could be.

If a Nader blows in here, you know, just saying, just saying. All right, a couple of other things I want to hit because we have the, I mean, I have a lot on the budget. You guys want to break from the budget? You want me to keep going with the budget because I got a lot. They're also, I mean, they're looking at slashing, let's see, the way that it's NBC, oh, he's slashing everything, but growing the military, kill her. Well, the Constitution actually only allows for military funding if you want to be really pesky about it. they allow for nominal amounts of public funding for things like like maybe arts arts uh things like an article one section eight where they get into

essentially about preserving american culture ultimately is what it goes down to so there's different you know to create like um like an arts arts endowment things of that nature uh they there's um there is some a nominal federal support for that but that that's all going towards preserving American culture, not like we're going to fund all of this extra pork nonsense.

And now all of the news you would probably miss. time for Dana's Quick Five. Well, today in Delco, which Steve gave us all a lesson on, you heard a hawk tua, now meet

Hawk Pua, a crazy woman, how do I put this? She literally did a do on the hood of a car during a little traffic, a little minor traffic fender vendor. A mountain dew? Sure. Yeah, she mountain dude all over the hood of that car. What? now that's gross yes and it's so there's horrible video of it and we're getting ready to show you

because it's friday and of course we're doing it why why it's we're doing it live doing it live kane um i'm just more impressed that she could do it on command like this than i am anything else they arrested the woman there's another video of her being arrested but apparently it was in delco which steve said is a very culturally significant part of philly and uh this woman i guess she got rear-ended and then got out and rear-ended that car in a whole other way. She ended up being arrested. I think that I don't even know what kind of legal violation that is, but yeah, here she's getting back.

I have a sickness. Yeah, she does have a sickness. That's right, girl, you do got the sickness. That's exactly correct. Oh, my gosh. Let's see. Also, a man is in critical condition after he plunged from the stands at a pirate game. What is happening?

21 feet. What? Oh my gosh. How do you do that? Do you fall into the stands? That's what happened with this fella. It's, they stopped the game in Pittsburgh. Players were obviously shocked.

He's in critical condition. 25, or 20 feet. Fans and players, the like, were both horrified. He was taken to the hospital where he remains in critical condition. And they said it was a terrible accident. But man alive, that's just... That's a two-story drop. Yeah, that's a major drop.

A British woman, 115 years old, named the world's, oldest person 115. She was born in 1909, and she takes the record after a Brazilian nun. I don't know what her secret is. I bet it's like whiskey and something. That's usually what they say. It's funny. Let's see.

Oh, apparently, Hillary Baldwin. I don't care. Are they going to get divorced? I don't care. Nobody cares about that fake Spanish tart. Nobody cares about her and her murdering husband. I know. How do you say a cool combat? We have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. I hate musicals, right?

Gally, I hate musicals. My mom took me to cats when I was like 13 years old and it ruined me for life. I have no idea what that was about. I told you this before I think. It just is like a bunch of furries and they sang some song about memories and that's all, I think

all I remember. I thought it was about cats. It's not. I really don't know. It was weird and I to this day I have no idea what happened. And I just don't get it and it made me hate musicals forever. She made me go see Wicked one time. I wanted to die I wanted to launch myself off the balcony

I wanted to yeat myself into the floor below I just didn't care I don't not really I'm not into musicals I'm not into all that stuff and the now you have a musical where they want to celebrate I'm not making this up this is New York Post

Luigi Mangione they want to do a musical about him that's kind of a pretty short musical isn't it? I mean he ran up and shot a dude in the back and ran away. I mean, what is there, is it going to be a song and dance? Is he going to be like, woo with a gun and woo going up there to shoot this dude? I mean, how does that work? It's called Luigi the Musical. Now, at first glance, I'm not going to lie. I thought this was like a Super Mario Brothers thing. And then I'm like, oh, no, it's this

guy. He's like ruining that name, right? And it's going to be, it's going to debut in June. And they say they're going to be bold and unafraid about what he did to leave two kids without a dad. Now, the opening night is already sold out. What does that say about how stupid people are? The opening night is already sold out. Do we even know who the cast is? I don't think so. I mean, there's some names, I don't know.

Some, like, I don't know who these people are. I don't know who the theater kids are. I don't pay attention to that. I mean, to stay true to what the left has been doing with entertainment, they should probably find a black female to play that Luigi lead. Why do they do this? Like, I'm just waiting for the musical about Diddy. The Diddler.

The story of Sean Ditty Combs, right? I'm just waiting for that. Is he going to make an appearance in it? Is he going to, like, come out with the dancing part? He's going to play Diddy? I mean, to make it, like, truly Netflix, they should probably have like a blonde woman play him. I just, what in the world?

So they said that it's going to be surprisingly thoughtful and funny and blah, blah, blah, and show tunes. And, you know, this is, and they said, Luigi's your new favorite felony. That's the tagline. As if you didn't hate musicals enough. Felony or felon? Felony. They said the songwriter, Ariel Johnson, and the director, director Nova Bradford said they drew inspiration from Chicago, the musical.

And they had a snippet that they had behind the scenes footage that they posted, and this song is horrible. One of the lines was, I'm not kidding you, this is a line, flash those pearly whites, there were cameras there that night, and that's what let the police take me in. The guy named Johnny Stein is apparently playing Luigi Mangione. and that's a reference to him pulling down his balaclava to smile at the New York youth hostel clerk and that's how they were able to get a good look at him this sounds like the dumbest it sounds like a high school musical project

I mean as if you didn't have enough reasons to hate musicals jazz handed up I there's nothing about the story to glorify yeah there's nothing about the story to glory no matter what position you're on there's nothing to glorify other than murder. Is that what people are doing? Apparently, I mean, they love, the left loves their murderers.

I don't know what to say. I mean, they literally had Earth Day earlier about a dude who composted his girlfriend. He loved the Earth so much he murked his girlfriend, chopped her up. Composter. He's just composting her for the planet, you know. You can justify anything if you, you know, pay tribute to one of their stations. That's all you got to do.
