Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by KELTEC. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Well, well, well, a Florida U.S.PS worker. This is probably why none of my packages ever get to my house and why it takes me. It literally takes a month to send a piece of mail from my house to St. Louis. I'm not even kidding you. That's how long it takes.

A U.S.PS worker was arrested this month in Melbourne, Florida because she decided to stop off at a house party during her route and drink a bunch of vodka. And then later in the mail truck, apparently, she was caught driving the wrong way in traffic. Dude, that's a probable cause affidavit via Click Orlando. Caitlin Die, 33 was arrested on April 12th on a charge of DUI. They literally Melbourne police, they called and said, yeah, there's a USPS truck driving the wrong way down the highway. And the driver is literally just throwing plastic cups out of the vehicle. So the officers responded and they saw the mail truck driving west on East University Boulevard and then it made a U-turn to head the other way and it was

swerving in and out of its lane and then went back into the opposite lane. They pulled over the mail truck and they said that die appeared to be confused and disoriented. They did a field sobriety exercise and of course she did not do well in those. They questioned her and she said that she was delivering to a home and she was invited inside for a party and she took some vodka shots before she left and then she got pulled over so they asked her why she was swerving in and out of traffic and she goes oh I was tired I was taking a nap

and she said that she threw the cup out of the vehicle because she was swishing her mouth out with water so she would smell like alcohol she was booked in a Brevard County jail I mean there you go right there oh boy now we got another guy wrestling another

gator every dang week in Florida you can go wrestle a gator so Jacksonville Florida. Let's see. During Easter dinner, they had to call a gator trapper. A family did in Jacksonville because there was a giant gator in their yard.

A woman was getting ready to take her dog out when she noticed a seven-foot alligator right by the slide door of her patio. And she said she was just finishing up Easter dinner with family and she needed to get the alligator off the property, but she had to get some help.

And that's when Mike Dragich arrived and shoeless and he wrestled this gator into a garbage can and it's actually hysterical looking because it kept popping up and hissing at everybody. It couldn't get out of the can but it

kept popping up to hiss and nobody got bit thankfully they called Florida Fish and Wildlife and they were able to take the gator but yeah you got to be careful I wouldn't be able to let my dogs out or well Wick could probably kill one. Wicca's hardcore wild raccoon attack

a Florida woman speaks out because she suffered one in her backyard. They're not pets. She said as soon as she opened up her back door, it bit her on the leg. It was like Monty Python screaming and a crazy raccoon and she couldn't shake him off and he chased her into a corner and they had to call. She had to go to the emergency room. Animal Control had to respond. Thankfully, the animal tested negative for rabies, but it was very aggressive. They had to relocate it. Man, crazy raccoons biting ladies' legs in Florida. Gold prices have surged over 40% since January, 24 consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs' research, the upward trend is expected

to persist due to strong demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me take action and why I've bought precious metals like gold and silver. I've partnered with a great company that makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent, and simple. And that company is Goldco. They're a huge supporter of this show, and they're the best at what they do.

And for my audience, you could also qualify for up to a 10% instant match in bonus silver. It's a really great deal. So don't miss out. Visit dana likesgold.com to learn more. That's

Dana likesgold.com. I wanted to play this audio, too, from Kantanji Brown Jackson. because they've been arguing, making the oral arguments before SCOTUS in this Maryland case, right? With parents that don't want their kids to learn about like nudie stuff when they're in third grade. Seems right, right? I want you to listen to what she says here in this audio sound bite 18. And I guess I'm struggling to see how it burdens a parent's religious exercise if the school teaches something that the parent disagrees with. you have a choice. You don't have to send your kid to that school. You can put them in another situation. First off, that is such a disingenuous argument, and I can't stand her vocal fry.

This is such a disingenuous argument. You're not burdening a parent's religious exercise. That's not what is that issue. What is that issue is whether or not young children should be exposed to sexually explicit age inappropriate material. If you were to do this in any other setting you that might actually constitute something of an abusive nature but somehow it's supposed to be sanctified because it's presented in a quote unquote educational setting i mean i would like to know what educational value a second grader can garner from learning about pegging don't google it well kane i mean i need to make the point you did you just do a baptist face palm at me You did.

It was kind of. I don't know if that's what it looks like. But still, am I right? I'm right. Yeah. I mean, you are. I needed to illustrate that. Some truths are hard to hear.

That's right. Because that's how, as jarring as it is to hear, imagine how jarring it is when you're a second grader and you open up a book at school and it features two dudes. Well, you get the idea. Or a girl who's pretending to be a boy. And I don't even want them learning about like regular straight, you know, sex. I don't even want to learn about that when they're that young. That's something for parents to determine, and it needs to be in the context that parents choose. You cannot just ambush little bitty kids with sexually explicit inappropriate material.

That has nothing to do with religious exercise. That is nothing to do with whether or not a parent disagrees or agrees with it. It has to do with whether or not you think exposing children to sexually explicit material constitutes as a form of abuse, which I do. I mean, why are strangers so obsessed with showing kids' pictures of people having sex? Because all of these books that are being discussed in this Maryland case, every one of them does that. If you were in a supermarket and some stranger was trying to show your kid pictures of people having sex, you would call the cops. So why is it any different without your permission in a school setting? That's the whole point.

That's what we're all asking. That's the whole point. I mean, it's, it's an elementary school kids. I'm not exaggerating. These are little kids. Goodness, when I, when I was a little kid, I thought that literally a stork brought children, a giant bird brought children. Yeah.

I don't know when I stopped believing that, but I just remember when I was younger, that was the story. And that's the kind of age that these kids are. And even older, like I still think even if it's in junior high or high school, because these these these books that they're talking about they're not educational books they're political expression it's not a book that talks about the uh you know clinical attributes of this or that it's it's a book that it's literally for the purpose of uh really glorifying not even glorifying that's not the right word it's like egregious sexual

exploitation and they're trying to pass it off as being educational to like first and second and third graders that's it doesn't matter where your politics are i think that everybody would be like yeah that's really inappropriate for kids it's inappropriate for junior high kids because here's the other issue not every educator is the same and you might have some of the stuff presented to kids in a really inappropriate or inarticulate way and i mean with some of the stuff you're play i mean that's just that's not educational and you're that's brainwashing and it's just it doesn't nothing to do with education. I don't even understand. It doesn't matter. Parents have the final say. I think parents have

the final say all the way up until their kids are 18. Parents have the final say. So this is not an argument over battling people over material that they may agree or disagree with in a classroom. It is about whether or not you think that sexually explicit material is age appropriate for kids in school. Like explicit stuff. One of the books that was in the library down the road from us, I mean, it was a junior high library, showed oral sex graphic, multiple pages. And one of the pages, it was just that. Like someone actually drew it, shaded it in, you know, put all the sense. It's one full page showing just that. And a 13 year old pulled it off the shelves. How is that educational? You tell me. That's just, it's just, it's a sexual fetish

and they're demanding gratification at the expense of your children's innocence. I think that if you're pushing these books on kids, I don't say this as a talking point. I don't say this as a soundbite. I don't say it to be intentionally provocative. I with a thousand percent of my soul believe that if you are pushing these, this type of material on kids, I think that you might actually be a pedophile. Because only pedophiles do stuff like that. That's how bad the stuff in these books is. It's not even, you can't even say it's a sophisticated graphic novel. I mean, there's literally some adult drew pictures of children participating in oral sex and they put it in this book. I am not minors. I'm not kidding you. Again, your

in the supermarket and somebody's like, hey, to your kid, wants to show them nudie pictures, you would call the cops. But in school, it's okay. And then because at school, they're telling you, you have no right to object to it. That's insane. That has nothing to do with political disagreement. It doesn't have to do with religious disagreement. That is age inappropriate, period.

So, why are, I mean, it is. People aren't wrong when they say, okay groomer because that's exactly what this is. You're, you're desensitizing people to the stuff at that age. It's just, it's like, why don't you go ahead and sit them in front of a television and have them watch porn? Same thing. It's literally the same thing. Why don't you just bring in one of those TVs on the wheels and just show them some porn? I mean, you wouldn't do that in school or you wouldn't, you wouldn't do that anywhere else, but that's like the level of what they're trying to do in school. It's, it's pornographic.

And pornographic is, well, that's like the least that you could say about it. Yeah, if you set your kids in the living room and show them porn, you would be arrested. Your kids would be taken away from you. You would be arrested. But they're wanting to do just that in schools with young kids. That's not a stretch. Because I've looked at these books. I can't even, in fact, I had, we had management sent us an email saying we cannot show any of these images.

And I can't even describe them any more than I have for radio airwaves because I'll get fined. Not kidding. And if we show the images on the digital stream, our videos will get taken down on YouTube because they file, it's a porn. They call it pornographic material, literally, they call it pornographic material and they will pull your video down if you show images of books that they are putting in kids libraries. That's how bad this stuff is. So you don't even, I've seen some of it. And that's why I mean, I was left speechless and disgusted because, and I've listened to these parents. Like some of the parents in Maryland, I mean, one of them was a one of their kids, they were,

it was a mother of a second grader. I was like, what purpose does this serve? You're exploiting our children. Honestly, it's a way to pray on kids. I just, I can't even believe we're entertaining this as like serious discussion. It's just crazy. Absolutely crazy. Our partners that help bring you the program,

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. all right first up um apparently they're trying to dim the sun over in britain yeah so this is from i don't know i guess you can i mean this is i saw a joke about this the other day and i thought

it was i thought this story i've ignored it because i thought it was fake and hmm it's not so they're doing they say it's for climate change that they're trying to help the earth for climate change. That's the whole that's the thing. So they're wanting to dim the sun and their experiments. It's to fight global warming and in Britain they're going to get the go ahead in weeks.

So they're going to screw with the environment to stop humans from screwing with the environment. What? It doesn't make any sense but that's, you know, it's Britain and they're run by socialist so I don't know. Say what, think we will. A single psychedelic dose shows

a cognitive boost lasting weeks. What do you mean by like psychedelic? Is that like hippie stuff? Like acid and mushrooms and all that? Yeah, pretty much. Listening to me talk about drugs is legit like, it's worse than listening to Biden

talk about guns. I love it. I have no idea what I'm talking about drugs. I just know like I know what some of my family members grow out in the woods in southern Missouri and I know, I'm joking. Or am I? And I also, you know, I know what, you know, the hippies have done, right? I mean, I watched Dazed and Confused.

So it's like everybody else when I was growing up. So they said that long-lasting effects suggests psychedelics promote meaningful enduring changes in brain plasticity. And they can treat depression, PTSD, and Alzheimer's. This isn't actually anything new. I have a really good friend. Actually, a group of very good friends who are combat veterans who they tried, they were tired of all of the side effects from heavy prescription medication to deal with after they came back from combat and they did psychedelics under doctor's guidance and it just changed their lives. It absolutely changed their lives. China is planning a nuclear

power plant on the moon. Unfortunately, all of their stuff is made in China so they'll never get there. So we have a lot more on the way. Stick with us. Can we talk about one other bits and pieces? What did you do? Steve did this. I have to address it now. I feel like before you, you know, I'm not getting into, like, entertainment gossip or anything like that. I hate that stuff. But I do think that this is sort of symbolic of the grifter culture. That Ginger, who came over here and is trying to be Prince of Montecito. What's his face?

Harry Ginger. And then his wife, who was on that game show, she had, like, a de-list role on some Canadian sitcom. And I don't know. Was she on, like, one season? I don't know. Nobody ever watched it. Nobody knew who she was until she started dating the spare, right, from the UK. So that Megan Markle lady, she is doing a cooking show on Netflix, and I've never seen,

I only watched five seconds of it, and I thought she was going to cut her wrist by trying to zest a lemon. This girl has never been in the kitchen in her life. She has no idea how to do basic things. You can look, when somebody's chopping up vegetables, or if they're doing basic things, you can tell if they've cooked or not. I mean, she was just like with the zester using this, you're supposed, I was dying. I was like, she's going to cut herself, watching her put stuff in a hot pot and then having long hair hanging all over the food. It was just so gross.

And so, audio somebody 21, Steve wants to torture me. She didn't make the Times list of cool people, but she did get invited there because her agency probably bought her access. I have to play this. This is one of the goofiest things ever. Palate cleanser. Go ahead, Steve. Kill us. of all things to be talking about for Time 100.

Let's talk about flour sprinkles. But let's, because I think it speaks to the tiny moments of joy that are so effortless and just create a little bit of magic that we're all craving. What in the hell word salad is this? There are many little flower petals that are dried. I started putting them on salads. I started putting them on scrambled eggs.

It didn't actually matter. On a yogurt parfe. I feel like she's selling me used car. charm that you find people have when they see these tiny little dried petals is something I can't fully wrap my head around, but I appreciate that there is a love for people who have this sort of elocution are so incredibly fake. So you're, I'm elevating it by putting dried flower petals on all of my food and just, you know, it just cane, it adds a little bit of magic. you know, it elevates things.

Okay, let's talk about, I'm going to be mean for a minute and bear with me. You got that image, right, Juan. Let's talk about the linen outfit, sidebar. You're going to, I had to, look, I had to listen to J.B. Pritzker and read an article about J.B. Pritzker. You're going to give me this. So, first up, let me go into total chick mode. All my ladies out there are going to appreciate this.

I get it that there's this, like, beach casual aesthetic that permeates California. culture. I think when you're showing up to an awards event, linen is a great material. I love linen. It's breathable. It doesn't really matter if it's wrinkled. But you don't, and it can be baggy, but not too baggy, right? These pants, I want to burn them. When you're short-waisted, you don't wear high-wasted pants and you don't wear grandma's drapes as trousers. It's too long. It's too wide leg. It emphasizes the wrinkles. It drag. the ground to the point where your pants are dirty

please dear heavens if you want to elevate something elevate your influence so that you don't have to buy off the rack and designers will give you their stuff so you don't have to walk out looking like a T-moo version of Kate Middleton please dear heavens

okay I'm done I got it out of my system you were you had no idea what was happening there did you because you're a man rightfully so you just can't wear a big bag stuff like that. I mean, the jacket was baggy. The shirt was bad. Everything can't be baggy. Pick one thing. I don't get it. But this, it's just grifterism. She's not on the list. Why was she there? Oh, because her agency probably bought her access. Probably Netflix. They're desperate

in promoting that boondoggle that they call a cooking show where she makes like, somebody got like a chemical burns from her homemade salt scrub. I mean, it's the stupidest stuff ever. People are broke and she's like let's make candles. Shut up. Let's like be able to afford eggs. Not everybody was lucky and had a daddy that worked in Hollywood that paid for your schooling and paid for you to have access to all of this. And then you consider marrying above your station to be female empowerment while also pretending to be duchess in a country that does not recognize nor give a rat's ass for such titles. Spare me. Good heavens. She's the one who chartered a private plane to fly down in Texas when they had the school shooting

and have a camera crew videotape her laying flowers and then she went back a stunt unbelievable thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast if you haven't already make sure to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts Spotify or wherever you get your podcast
