Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast Sponsored by KELTEC It's his life mission to make bad decisions It's time for Florida man Man Man, man

This is some weird I got some weird Florida man All right First and foremost Can you let me know if you think this is a good way to honor somebody?

So this dude, right? His uncle is a metalhead, right? And he's a Tampa-based musician known as Prince Midnight. His uncle passed away and he turned his uncle's skeleton into a fully functional guitar. What?

Yeah. What? A fully, actually fully functional guitar. Just gave you the Lincoln slack. I mean, it is the rib cage and then the spine and then it goes into the pelvis. And it's called the Skellicaster.

I didn't even know if this was legal. also me don't know if that's legal but it's very it came it was noted in guitar world Prince Midnight he wanted to honor his uncle Philip who was killed in a motorcycle accident in Greece in 1996

His skeleton was donated to a medical school and used in anatomy classes for years but when they no longer needed it they gave it to the family and the responsibility because his parents passed away His parents passed away, so he got the responsibility of it. And they're Greek Orthodox, so they don't believe in cremation.

And so they either could pay to have it stored to purchase a burial plot. And he was like, nah, I'll take care of it. And so he navigated the red tape and involved funeral homes in the State Department. He had the remains shipped here. And then he had his friend help build this into a custom instrument. And, dude, I don't know. what I, and I like his response. He said his mother apparently didn't like it because she goes,

it was sacrilegious in the work of the devil. You know how moms are, he said. He goes, when asked whether Philip would rather be in the ground or shredding, she admitted, well, probably the guitar. So he attached it to parts of an old fender telecaster. Really a telecaster? And added red and blue wiring to mimic blood vessels. He goes, it's got some quirks and there are limitations, obviously.

but you can play it. There's obviously, it's awkward because the ribcage limits movement and the sound is heavier. That's actually insane. And I wouldn't pick it up, dude.

I don't think I could pick it up and play it. I'm curious enough to pick it up. Really? Yeah. So like where the neck would be is the neck of the guitar, the front that goes up. And then the,

the strings and where it would be open is like right at the bottom of the rib cage. And I don't get the, um, I'm, do you really, I don't even know, do you really need like the pelvis and all that at that point? I mean, he's got some of the electronics plugged in the, where you plug in for power is like right at the top of the pelvis. Yeah, like the hip bone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dude, it's, I don't know, man. It's a little, a little different. Shreds, though, huh? He says it's a heavier sound. I'm like, that seems like he would probably like that. So, anyway, this Florida man, apparently, I was going to, I was going to share this. but it's not wanting to pop up. Anyway, it was about a guy who stabs the door,

who's been stabbing doorbells, apparently, with a knife. Like he goes and he's been stabbing doorbell cameras with a knife. And I don't understand what the purpose of that is, but okay. Also, a crew rescued a man who fell 20 feet in the water near Treasure Island Causeway. Good night. That's scary to fall 20 feet into the water.

He fell over. It was the Treasure Island Causeway Bridge. This was early yesterday, and they had to close overnight for repairs, but he was yelling for help. Cruz responded to a 911 call. He was rescued. He had a head injury. It looks like he's going to be okay, but he fell 20 feet into the water. That's at night. Remember where the gators live? I remember where gators live, right? That's right. Our partners that help bring you the program, it's the folks over at Keltec, the PR 57, chambered in 5-7, and it's one of the lightest and thinnest 5-7s that are out there. And with Keltek, Florida-based company, their stuff is made in the

U.S. of A. And the PR-57, it's, I mean, like I said, 40% lighter with made possible by the rotary barrel that they use. It's rotary barrel pistol. And then also the top loading design that replaces traditional magazines with stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile in a 20 plus one capacity, inspired by real world data and defensive needs. And the MSRP is only $399, making it very affordable, quickest and easiest field strip available. And it's made in America with American labor and American parts. And super new, a great standard set in lightweight design. It's the new, well, it's somewhat new. It came out first of the year. PR 57 chambered N57, the rotary barrel pistol from Keltek.

performance, Caltech. That's K-E-L-T-E-C Weapons.com. Tell them, Dana sent you. If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cucks, to day laborers, out in Los Angeles. community and throughout California and throughout the country. Oh, that's Senator Alex Padilla who decided to crash the press conference. This was like in our last hour of our program yesterday. He decided to crash the press conference that Christy Noem was holding about the ice raids.

And they actually had to like shove him out of the room. He was shoving though. He was shoving his way to the front. He shoved a bunch of ice agents. And that's one of the things that the media has left out. And then he ended up getting kind of pushed back himself and they handcuffed him. And it was, I mean, obviously from the beginning, it was a stunt, absolutely a stunt. And he acted like it was all organic, but he's a horrible actor.

And yeah, he also was trying to insist that he showed up to ask a question and he was insinuating that it was a press conference where they were taking, where they were asking questions. And she was actually just like updating the press as to what was happening. and that's not what happened. He like shoved into the room, shoved towards the podium, and he began yelling over her. Where's that one broad that was in the hearing the other day, Plaskett, was it her? Who was like, I mean, you can interrupt me, Bessent, I'm a woman, I know I'm a woman. Okay, but now what about this with Padilla interrupting Noam? She's a woman.

So Secret Service started pushing him back towards the exit. And he acted like, he's lying because he says that he, well, actually, where's this audio? Let's come in with this. This is audio sound bite five. Play this because this is a lie, outright lie. Absolutely lie. I just couldn't accept the rhetoric anymore. So I had the audacity to try to ask a question. I introduced myself. I'm Senator Alex by the and I have a question. No, we didn't though. It took all of maybe a second for multiple agents to forcibly remove me from the room to pin me on the ground and handcuffs. He didn't identify himself to anyone until after they put handcuffs on him.

And that's captured on video. So whatever they were, whatever they're trying to say there, that was a lie. Whatever he's trying to argue is a lie. He did not come in. He lied and said, I'm Senator Alex Pitya. I have questions. But the video doesn't show that. And it's actually, I mean, when I was watching the video, I had to put my earbuds in

and turn it way up and listen to it because it's kind of hard to hear. but he just came in and started yelling at no point in the audio with any video that I have seen does he at all identify himself as a senator until after they pushed him back and put cuffs on him and then he's like I'm a senator I'm senator Alex Padilla he didn't at all say that now can I just like also uh throw this out there nobody knew who he was right nobody knew who he was right nobody knew who he was. That's kind of interesting. I mean, Bill Malugian was there, and he also had video, and he confirmed, he was like, no, he didn't identify himself as a senator. He just came in and started yelling. In fact, he himself, Bill Malugian himself thought that Padilla was just some

random protester. And it wasn't until he saw him after he was detained by law enforcement. It wasn't until he saw him and he realized, oh, that's a Senate, that's Senator Padilla. How insane is this? I mean, this, there's, there's already, and you have Adam Schiff demanding that Noam resigned. Look, I'm not a Christy Noam fan, but she didn't do anything wrong here. She did not do a single thing incorrect. She was answering, she was, she was presenting the latest about ICE enforcement. And they immediately, he, like Padilla came in and decided to, to crash this. Now, here's the other thing. What building was this at in LA? It was at, because, so they had this in Los Angeles, right? They had this, what building was it in?

Give me a moment. Because wasn't it like one of their government, like whatever safety facilities, something like this? And they were, oh, okay, sorry, it was a federal building. So it was a federal building. And it was in Los Angeles. Can I just point, out that is Alex Padilla, so MIA, that in a federal building in his own district, nobody knows who he is? Does that not strike anybody else's weird? Right? I mean, he's not like a right. He's not like some municipal leader.

He is an actual United States senator. He's a senator. And they didn't know who he was here? Yeah. as Steve notes, so Padilla took over Kamala Harris's seat. No one there knows who he is. Isn't that weird? This is his district.

He was born in Los Angeles. This is Alex Padilla's district. And nobody knows who he is. I just trying to wrap my mind around the fact that the senator of that district, born and raised in that city, in which the federal building that they are holding this press conference is being held that no one recognizes him when he enters. What does that tell you? Isn't that weird?

Kane, what does that tell you? Well, most senators I know, they will travel with at least one other person, right? Or with maybe even two other people and one security person. But he was by himself, apparently. Well, at least when he went into that room. Right. And definitely when he was. have a room full of media who are covering local politics all the time. You would think that they

would know who the U.S. Senator would be for that district, but no one seemed to know. Now, not everyone is on Adam Schiff's side. Not everyone is. Audio Soundbite 8. This was actually discussion on CNN. Listen to this. No, not about it. I mean, she was holding a press conference and doing a press statement. He's not a member of the press. It wasn't like a hearing. where it was an open forum for senators to ask a question. He clearly showed up to a public event to create a moment and do what you're saying, sort of show his constituents, not just Democrats, but that he's fighting from his perspective. Again, I think the question is, was this the appropriate response of how it got dealt with in that moment and how that plays? To your point,

though, I mean, what we're seeing politically is a very divided country over the support and opposition. It's almost evenly divided in Washington Postball today. The other funny thing about this, too, is Noam. And again, you know, I think Noam didn't do anything wrong here. Audio somebody, too. She, do you, did you hear she was still talking the entire time this was happening? And I was wondering, I'm like, is she just like ignoring him and focusing strictly on her remarks out of spite? Or did she not know what the hell was actually going on?

Listen. Why was that the action you decided to take? I'll let the law enforcement speak to how this was situation was handled. but I will say that people need to identify themselves before they start lunging at people during press conferences. Is it appropriate? But once he said he was said. I think his statement is.

Yeah, I mean, he didn't acknowledge himself. He just rolled in, and we played some of that audio yesterday. Literally, he rolled in and started yelling, and he didn't identify himself at all. And in fact, none of the local press that was there covering it, none of them actually said that he IDed himself. they all were saying that he just came in and started yelling and only after he was in handcuffs did he say that he was a senator right very interesting but that's not how I mean what did you know

he'd pulled a stunt it was a stunt and it wasn't designed to get any other it wasn't designed to get any kind of attention for the issue. He wanted attention for himself. He was appointed to his seat when Harris was elected vice president. And he won a special election to complete her term. So he was first appointed in 2021 and then November 22, they had a special election and he ran to complete her term. So he was appointed, but then he did in a special election, he did win. I don't know by, I don't know by what margin or if there was any challenges or anything because he's not really

he's not somebody that I ever, he's never, he's not done anything, which kind of goes to my point that nobody in that building knew who he was. That's crazy. He's been there since she's been in office. Since she, since Harris has been, since Harris went into the vice president's role, he's been in that seat. And nobody knew who he was. I just find that amazing. But also, doesn't that kind of signal that he's like one of those guys who's a show horse? He doesn't do any of the legwork. Do you ever see his name attached to anything proposed? I did a quick search. And that was a quick search. Granted, maybe, you know, I'll find something if I deep dove, but he doesn't really do anything. He just did this to get attention for himself. And then everyone's like, oh, well,

she's got to be replaced. For what? For what? The cricket in the gravel pit was more, was, that, that actually was a thing for me. This is nothing. What? What? So stupid. Absolutely stupid.

I keep seeing these stories about salaries for some of the talking heads at like CNN and MSNBC. So Anderson Cooper, he makes $18 million annually. I actually thought that that, can I be honest, I know that to me that's a ton of money. That actually seems lower than what I thought. Yeah. But didn't he take a pay cut, though, like some years ago, like willingly? I think so. And I actually, personally, Anderson Cooper's always been very nice to me.

I have nothing negative to say about him. But I actually was shocked about that. But they're having trouble right now over at CNN. And I actually saw this with this is a New York Post piece, and I saw a separate piece a couple of weeks ago with Ad Week. They're struggling right now to maintain some of their top dollar rates because the ratings have taken a nosedive, particularly in prime time. and when that happened successively in numerous, you know, with numerous quarters, they're not able, I mean, when you cannot command those top dollar ad rates, how are you paying those top dollar salaries? They already are experiencing this in MSNBC. And now CNN, which is kind of their executives have been in crisis talks lately. They're now struggling with the same thing that MSNBC has already been dealing with. So it's kind of interesting. Let's see here. Oh, goodness. Did this headline come from Steve? It did, didn't it?

Justin Bieber could be placed in a conservatorship by his wife if she can prove three points to the court. Apparently, he's acting bizarre, and that whole thing is weird. I get nervous about this stuff because they're a younger celebrity couple, and there are a lot of other younger people that look up to them. And this stuff is not normal, right? It's not normal. Also, stop dressing like a slob. Like, if your wife is dressed up to go out, if your girl is dressed up to go out, you've got to match that girl's energy, okay? Otherwise, you're not a package deal.

And you know with that telegraphs to everybody else out there, that there is some, like, disconnect. And, you know, she might be up on the market. I'm just saying, I'm just saying those are the optics. Those are the optics. A CEO says AI is going to replace so many jobs that it will cause a major recession. I agree. I think that this, if we do not, if we are not flexible and we don't acclimate to this, that's exactly it. It's Clarnah.

It's the CEO of this startup called Clarna. They're saying that AI is coming for all white color jobs and that people got to be able to prepared for this. I get it. I believe it. And I have some tinfoil about this as well. These drone attacks. The drone attacks are terrifying. You want to hear me in tinfoil? Okay. So, you know, there was all this discussion about like, you know, like DOD and maybe even CIA involved in the development of certain video games, particularly Cod and others to get everybody acclimated to like that kind of maneuvering so that if we ever enter this type of warfare, that we would have a lot of people that would be actually qualified to be able to do it. I'm just saying, I'm just going to throw that out there.

Makes sense. I would totally, I'm just going to say I volunteer, don't even pay me. I totally volunteer to like joystick the hell out of some drones and go after some baddies. Can you imagine instead of like playing like Cod or Dark Tide or anything else, like I'm just going to go up and hook, so strap in and I'm going to. I know how much you'd charge for that. I would charge zero dollars. I would actually pay you to do it. I would pay.

I would pay for the software to install to do it myself. I'm seeing a service opening up. I'm saying. I'm saying. I got to take a sip of money. my brand new coffee that I'm trying out. Senior service. Where people pay to take drones out. Yeah.

It's for the U.S. It's, I would do that. Would you do that? Yeah. I would. Yeah. I would do it. Even at times, like, man, what is it?

2.30 in the morning, I can't hardly sleep. Let me hop online and take some drones out real quick. I like doing this. So, like, I like video games because I get very involved in, like, You know, I'm always like reading stuff and as Kane can tell you, I don't have like a lot. I don't run off notes. Like I have a speech to give tonight to the, uh, Turning Point USA Young Women's Leadership Summit. And I never walk out with notes.

If I do, it's like bullet points to keep me from talking for five hours. But I'm very like, very type, you know, on 11. I'm type A. I'm like, uh, I'm always wired. And it is literally one of the quickest ways to like chill my mind out and like kind of almost tire me out. I'm like a working breed, you know? You got to tire me out. And that is like one of the only ways because it's so involving and it can be so mentally taxing and you get so into it.

And then you feel satisfied after. So I totally agree with your assessment. I would do that. Oh my gosh. I would do it right now. I'd even, if a notification popped up by my phone and be like, would you like to take out a couple drones? I'd be like clicking that notification right now. Right?

I'm telling you. Would you? Oh, my gosh. Hey, Gray over there. You would do that too, wouldn't you? He says, yes, he's just not paying attention. No, he's not even paying attention. He's not even paying attention.

Our researcher for chapter and verse gray, you would do that too, wouldn't you? Yeah, you would totally do that. If you had a notification that popped up. Thumbs up. You notice the thumb he put up was the thumb he would take drones out with? Yeah, or wait a minute, though. Like, if you're on, like what platform are you on? And then, like, what's your controller with that?

Oh, you got the triggers like so. Xbox. You got those triggers there. Yeah, I'm leads to the Xbox style. Yeah. You can assign what. Although I grew up on PC. I grew up with Doom and things like that on PC.

So, I mean, I'm ambidextrous is what I'm saying to you. So it doesn't matter. Direction buttons and space bar. I just, you know how amazing that would be. I mean, it's not my birthday for a long time, but a girl can dream, right? It was Mother's Day last month. Yes, true. So Father's Day this weekend.

Should be Mother's Day every day. Father's Day this weekend, y'all. You know, a lot of dads would love to go pop some. Terry's like using that. Just deputize us. Come on. It's like that, I swear to you, that key and peel skit, which is one of the funniest skits I've ever seen in my entire life. Where they're on a plane and they're like, yeah, I want to go drag that scouts.

I can't. Well, that would be a great Father's Day gift if you think about it. It'd be like, hey, get that the gift of destroying drones. Grace says that they're hard to operate. It would require drone training. I could do that. Hey, hey, hey, we do training. When I got the new car, I had to go through a little train just to get you.

to some of the new things. I could do that. He's laughing at me. I could totally do that, though. We could all do that. I would learn that. I know it's not the same. We're in the age of AI.

We could really make this easy. We just let AI do all the aiming. We just do the button pressing. Yeah. That's all. Would you like to take out this Terry? I would like to take out this Terry. TOTT take out Terry's tot.

Click A. Right? I'm going Totten. That's taking out Terry's. That's what we're doing. It's just saying, man. I'm just saying. That's going to be like a bumper sticker.

It's going to be like a shirt. And have tots. We can all be on Discord. While doing tot, you're eating tot. Gray's over here going, but Amos just can accidentally target a civilian. Well, what's that civilian doing around them, Terry's? These are drones we're targeting, not humans.

Yeah. Well, I mean, no, we can also use some drones to take out some Terry's. I'm not talking about going full Obama. Oh, man. You know, I'm not doing that. Terry, what are you doing? Terry back up. Seems like there's enough known terrorists in the world where this service could go on for quite a while.

Golly, do you know how amazing that would be? I just, in case the CIA is listening, I completely so hardcore volunteer. I can't, I don't have enough hands to raise. You've even committed to pain. Dude, I would pay to do it. I don't even, I can't even raise enough hands. That would be amazing. Please, it's Father's Day this weekend for the dads.

Let's make it happen. Let's make that happen for the day. dads. I'm just saying. By the way, I said for Father's Day we should get Chris a Dotson. He doesn't want another dog, so I'm trying to think of ways to get him. He can't turn down a gift, right? Just saying. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast.
