Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. All right. So first up,

oh my gosh, outside the 7-Eleven in Sarasota, what is happening? Giant Alligator was being wrestled outside of, I mean, this thing is huge. That's a person eating. gator. This is crazy. He was outside of the 7-Eleven.

I don't know what he's doing out there, but, man, 10 feet, 3-inch long gator. And they had to get a professional alligator wrangler. They couldn't just have Florida Fish and Wildlife. They had to get a dude who's used to these bigans. And he had to, like, get it to a crazy big cage. This thing is enormous. And by the way, that's the second time that they've had to come and get a gator out of an area in Sarasota. But this thing was huge.

The first one was a 14-foot one. Did they come that big? I didn't even know they did. Holy cow, what are they eating down there? So, I mean, and there's a video of it. They were, man, they run fast. Just remember if you're getting chased by a gator, zigzag, zigzag. It's literally all I remember.

I feel like learning how to run from a gator stop dropping and roll and learning how to get out of quicksaint I thought I would be on fire getting eaten by alligators and also like being in quicksand a lot more than I was

than I am. I don't know I got a lot of questions so that's crazy though giant alligator that's one showing you on the simulcast how big this thing is Jimmy Christmas all right so UPS since

a Florida man $500 after losing track of a package worth $45,000. Wow, it was a rare part for a large hydrogen compressor. Gustavo Gonzalez was ordering it and it didn't they didn't deliver it to him.

They gave it to the wrong person. And then they sent the unit back to the sender. It was, yeah. And so he was doing it from UPS store in Hunter Creek, Florida. and yeah it was a piece of specialized equipment worth over 45,000 and somebody else signed for the package and he repeatedly contacted them and they only gave him a $500 refund that's it

so now he's got to take action against it yeah because he's out $45,000 it's insane do you remember the lady who was wearing the red shirt at Target and she was getting harassed by that, what was her name, Michaela Ponce, who worked at Epan Health, and they actually are investigating her, and they're trying to see if, I guess, if it goes up to criminal harassment. I don't, what town was that in? Because I don't even know if that's, if that's one party or two party consent state that they were in. Anyway, the lady who was being harassed, the internet came to her rescue.

America came to her rescue. her name is miss jeannie beeman and this is cut 26 she spoke out for the first time after this listen i know people are calling for her to be fired for this do you think that's right would you like that to have no i i don't think that's that's right like one saying i have is two wrongs don't make a right you know she wronged me but i don't want to wrong her or i don't want her her her wrong because it's not going to make it right I mean that was her opinion she but she's the one that put it on Facebook or put it on on that so you know but I I really wouldn't want to see her somebody lose their job over it man if anybody needs any grace

she's got it she's got enough she's got enough for everybody. That is impressive. Because that wasn't my initial reaction and I still don't know if that's my reaction. But what I hope that Michaela Ponce watches that video of Ms. Beeman

and listens to her grace and I hope that the next time she encounters someone that has an opinion different from her own, that she gets over herself just enough, gets over her own selfish her own self-aggrandizement and maybe does the godly thing of demonstrating grace for someone

just because they're wearing a t-shirt that you dislike and it's not even a provocative t-shirt either it reminds me of that um do you remember i'm going to i know i wrote about this let me look this up because this was back uh during i think 2012, and I wrote about this, and it was in Tucson, Arizona, and this was in August of 2012, and a man named Adam Smith, this is when people were protesting Chick-fil-A, because they found out that the original owner, although now Chick-fil-A is very different, but the original owner was Christian, and for some reason they decided to get all mad at Chick-fil-A about gay marriage and then being Christian. I don't even understand how it happened, but it did. And so they would have have gay activists that were going through Chick-fil-A and getting a free cup of water and then just trying to clog it up by getting free water because Chick-fil-A was like, well, we'll serve you water. We don't care. And he went up to the drive-thru window. And he was harassing this young woman who was at the register. She was doing the checkout. She was

just there she was super sweet very nice and this guy decided on video recording himself on video harassing her this chick-fil-a employee and he was like you're a hateful company i don't know how you see at night or sleep at night and all this other stuff and it was really i mean he was so nasty to her so nasty to her and she was very kind but you could see the hurt in her eyes you could see the hurt in her eyes i wrote about this at the time and she was just saying have a nice day gave him his water and she was just literally the picture of grace. But you could tell it hurt her. And her voice shook a little bit.

But she still kept her kindness. And he thought he was, you know, hot stuff. And he recorded himself. Well, that blew up. He ended up getting fired. And he removed the video. He made an eight-minute apology video. The only thing that we knew,

was the, the employee, the young woman named Rachel, she only gave one interview. She said she did not, she's not like the influencers you see today who would like be running out and trying to make a career out of it. She was like, nope, I'm happy with what I'm doing. She was engaged. She was getting ready to start her life. She liked where she was. And she said that, you know, she didn't understand why he was so angry with her. And, you know, that it did hurt her, but she said that she did not want to return that hurt. And I remember her, quote being something like obviously he was hurting and I don't I didn't want to add to that hurt and I thought oh my gosh and she was you know when all of this happened I think I mean this was like in 2012 I think I was what are my 30s or no they 12 yeah I was like 30 years old or something when this happened

because she at the time was just a few years younger than me and I'm just thinking you know it was very humbling because you know you see these videos and you want to go to war for these people and she is like no and she didn't want to do any more. media. And she was so kind and so full of grace. This woman, Ms. Beeson, reminds me of that girl, Rachel, that worked at Chick-fil-A back in 2012. Ms. Beeson's grace. What an example of grace for this season. God love that woman. She is amazing. That is the type of person people should be looking up to, not these grifters. People like Ms. Jeannie Beeman. God love her. We got a lot more on the way. We had Florida man coming up, brace yourselves, our partners that help make the program possible.

It is the folks over at pre-born. You can help them meet their year-end goal. They're trying to get ultrasounds in all of these women's clinics.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. Oh, Hunter Biden got disbarred.

Guys, I know you're so sad about that. Hunter Biden was disbarred in Connecticut after, well, good in heavens, after admitting to an attorney misconduct over the gun charges, the tax conviction, and a million other things. It was a part of an agreement with the state's lawyers' disciplines office, but he did not admit to any kind of criminal wrongdoing, which I thought was interesting. So he's not admitting to criminal wrongdoing just this. So, hmm, that's, I actually thought it was, I'm kind of shocked that it took that long, if I'm being honest. The Oscars bolts from ABC to YouTube starting in 2029, no one cares. No one cares because no one's going to watch your stupid navel-gazing, self-absorbed movies that cover stupid concepts that regular average everyday people can't empathize or resonate with, that don't resonate with us, because they're actually poorly written. Most of it's all about getting the good actresses and then making the cinematography look good.

But then everything else goes to Hades in a handbasket. Having more muscle and less hidden abdominal fat gives you a younger brain. Interesting. So my brain's probably like five years old now. No, I'm kidding. It's the benefits of strength training weren't extensive enough, a younger brain. It is super important to do strength training. Holy cow, way important.

Strong muscle, strong mind. I believe all that stuff. I think it, you know, it helps promote a bunch of other stuff. stuff in the body releases all the good endorphins, etc. Bitcoin's silent Exodus hits crypto as longtime buyers cash out. I feel like every day it's either a devastating headline about crypto or it's a headline that's super celebratory. There's never anything like, hey, just checking in. Bitcoin's okay. Never, ever. It's always one or the other. It's just drama over there. The Earth would have three days to avoid a satellite catastrophe from a solar storm.

This coming from a new calculation with these scientists, they're looking at everything from Starlink, et cetera. And they're saying that a major solar storm could take down like all of our satellites. It could be disastrous. They said that in 2018, they had operators had 121 days to avoid a smaller sort of accident of a similar nature. the Earth is currently in a period of solar maximum, meaning solar storms are sending coronal mass ejections that have resulted in the views of northern lights much further south than normal, but that also messes with navigation, communication systems, things like that. Also, oh, look at this one.

This is pull this. Go on, go on, go on, go on. Ooh, the former man, this is weird, former manager of Harvard Medical School's morgue and his wife were sentenced in federal court in Pennsylvania because they were stealing human remains and selling them. Oh, yeah. Cedric Lodge, 58. He was sentenced Tuesday. He and his wife both pled guilty to interstate transport of remains. Oh, stick with us. That's a kooky. Now look, I'm not going to tell you, I'm not going to use stupid phrases like starter guns. Starter Gun is a phrase that's made up by executives who have never held a pistol in their life. And they're probably also low T. So let's just get that

phrase out of the way. We're not talking about anything like that. Here's what I'm telling you. I mean, I carried on my hip last night. I have no problem using lethal force to put down a threat. None. I will do it joyfully and sleep soundly that night. That said, you got college kids that live in towns where they can't, they're too young to carry a pistol and they need it for defense. Think about it. Walk into the parking garage. Walk into their classes late at night. One of my kids' friends has a final at like at six o'clock. It's already dark. Six o'clock night. Then it has to walk back to the parking garage? This can be a danger. Or what if you have to go to a building for work where you can't carry and there's not enough security to make sure you leave and arrive safely? This is where something

like a burner gun comes in. It's about diversifying your defense weapons array. Burn a gun shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. Now, if you look at regular stun guns, they've got like what, one or two charges, maybe one or two rounds. With the Berna C-L, the compact launcher, which I think is the one that you need to look at, they have a, it says a 15-round shot capacity, which is infinitely more when it counts. And the best thing is there's no background check. No background check. There's no permits.

There's no additional feeds. There's no waiting periods. You can order it online and it's sent right to your house. Visit burna.com slash Dana and get your Berna-C-L stands for Compact Launcher. Berna, C-L, B-Y-R-N-A-com slash Dana, ready when you are. Are you guys going to go see any movies over Christmas break? There's a couple of movies at my eye on one's a chainsaw man movie.

Oh, yeah, that's coming out. What about the George Floyd movie? You know, they're making a George Floyd movie. It's in pre-production right now. Oh, yeah, you heard that right. Oprah's involved in it. And so is someone called Lil TECA. Okay.

Oprah's in it. uh she's in the cast you that you guys didn't know a guy named gregory romone anderson is writing it and it's a family authorized biopic of george floyd capturing the life of the man who's become a symbol against police brutality and racial injustice well it came out later that he was like high is a kite wouldn't he when it like uh remember rodney king rodney king's apparently high on agent dust and that That's why he was so strong. Yeah.

Apparently George Floyd was high on something. But I, by the way, I love on IMDB under the trivia. Did you see what's under trivia? It says, the star of this movie was a career criminal, druggy, and pregnant woman beater. Oh, my. Like, how are you going to make a George Floyd movie? George Floyd, the musical. Just do that.

It's called Daddy Change the World. Daddy beat a pregnant woman Daddy stole Daddy was on drugs Daddy fought cops The movie's called Daddy Change the World It's already going to be heinous

I can tell I mean you could do something on the Tuskegee Airman but heavens no We're not going to do that Let's do it on George Floyd You could do a great buy-up on Frederick Douglass

You could do an Oscar-level kind of movie with him Nope, nope It's going to be George Floyd For crying out loud What in the world is this? I'm sure this is going to be just a stellar film, Kane. Is it?

Who do you think they're going to cast as the woman he beats? That's a good question. I know. How are they going to make those bruises look? Man, I don't know. Just saying. I won't be satisfied unless an actual victim plays the victim. Yeah.

It's just like, again, Hollywood's celebrating criminality. Armed robbery. He was in jail in and out. drug possession counterfeiting we have the autopsies oh yeah we have the but you know the fact that he just couldn't go out thugging meant the world was racist we have his criminal history yeah but that's racist what is the listen to this npr from may of this year who george floyd was and how systemic racism shaped his life i mean he only served eight jail terms on tons of violent charges. He was a prohibited possessor, but whatever.

Racism made him do all those things. At least he didn't punch a pregnant woman. That's, that would be... Well, that's also not, apparently. I mean, according to what's reported, I'm not true either. No. Yeah. Man. Just saying, yeah, he was in prison for years, in and out, aggravated robbery, home invasions. He was a violent criminal, violent criminal. And apparently, I mean, there's, yeah, there's a lot. Technically, he did change the world then. I'm just saying, I mean, even after, I mean, he was still in and out.

Still in and out. He was, people say, oh, he was in a rehabilitation that, yeah, but he dropped out and went back on drugs and still committed violent crimes. Why are we making, like, movies about this guy? Look, there is no community, black, white, or Asian or Hispanic or whatever that is so devoid of amazing examples of each respective community that they have to devolve to lionizing violent criminals. There's no excuse for it. There's none. There's no excuse for any of this. That's like making a movie lionizing Hunter Biden, except Hunter Biden wasn't as well.

violent as George Floyd. Good night. Well, because Oprah's involved in it, you're never going to hear the end of this movie. Because anything that she's involved, she thinks she's an Oscar-level actress. She thinks that she is like the best. And so anything that she's involved in, you're going to hear it ad nauseum. I just can't. But why are people doing, first off, who sits around and is like, I'm going to write this? And then who's going to give money to like finance it people who like watching their money burn like the communities after george floyd yeah by the way how does that work are they gonna how do they do that on a wide i mean that's gonna be a lot of opra money to have that kind of burning you know if you're gonna be burning neighborhoods to

be more accurate that's gonna be a ton of opra money to make pull that off because cg flames only looks so good for so long you know what i'm saying i don't know who's gonna play george floyd ooh how about juicy somali eh ooh he can make his big comeback and the george Floyd. Who's going to be who is who is, here's the big question. Who is going to be cast as Gwen Wals? Are we going to get, if I do not have a scene of Gwen Wals opening her boozy window and her bougie mansion and sniffing the air for the smell of burnt dreams and burnt communities, then this is an unjust world. We've got to have that scene. Just watch her like open up the window and give A big, deep sniff. We almost needed more cartoonish where she, you can see the waft of smoke in the air from the burning tires. And then like a cartoon, remember, whenever the Bugs Bunny or whoever would smell some good food. And then all of a sudden they would be floating with their nose following this trail.

Like Warner Brothers. Yeah. So that's kind of how absurd it has to be. Yeah, we need that. Mm, why is the window open, Gwyn? Oh, I love the smell of burnt communities. Mm. Mmm, so good.

Let that waft in. That smell right there has a little cinnamon in it. That's the smell of a family-owned business, third generation, burning to the ground. That's Gwen Walls. Remember, she said that she literally opened her windows to smell the burning, so she could be in solidarity, which is the most basic white progressive thing I've ever heard. You have this one? Dear heavens, yes.

I would say those first. days, you know, when there were riots, I could smell the burning tires. And that was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open for as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening. So she stayed hidden in her house. But I cut the windows open. I mean, I didn't want to go out there with, you know, those people. But I cut the windows open. You know, it was. You know, was a real thing as opposed to a not real thing like who's so stupid stuff like that that was

a very real thing as opposed to fake I mean and I just kept the windows open you know it's like a touch point it's like solidarity just love the smell of those with her Chanel flats as she's sitting there on her boogey deck and Chanel flats those are

$950 flats goodness at least Hillary Clinton had the nerve to wear Tori Birch I mean for crying out loud my gosh. He doesn't keep the window open when tires are burning. By the way, someone noted, speaking of progressives that love to live above their pay grade, somebody was talking, hang on, I got to pull this up. I think it was Fannie Willis. And I don't follow all of that drama, because it's just too much to get in the weeds. And I got enough stuff on my plate with

all of this other. But somebody was saying that Fannie Williams, when she appeared in court. Willis or Williams? Well, Willis, sorry, Fannie Williams. I was thinking of actually of Andy Williams, just played the music that we came into the thing with. Fannie Willis, she, um, hang on, let me pull this in because I don't know what kind of bag. I don't even know what kind of bag it is, but I know it's super, oh, here it is. Okay, so she was testifying before the Georgia Senate, and she had a very bougie bag that was sitting, and a couple of you, let me pull this photo up. She had this very boozy bag that she had just sitting right on the table. And a friend of mine said, oh my gosh, because I don't even know what this is.

And I don't even know how you can put anything in it, but okay. She was carrying a Louis Vuitton LV fan bag, which is a spring summer 2025 runway collector's piece. My friend looked it up and said, this is pre-tax. over $10,000. It is not vintage. It is not thrifted and it is not old. And my friend said, you can tell because there's no patina on the leather. The leather, that orangey leather is light.

She said, if it's old, it'd be dark. And she goes, they literally just came out with us. And so she is under investigation for misusing taxpayer dollars. And here she is showing up literally with a bag that after tax is over $11,000. wow also that bag is hideous wow i am speechless i am speechless i am speechless isn't she trying to act like she's poor here it's here's the it's coated canvas with a cowhide leather trim microfiber lining gold-toned hardware and a zip enclosure it's the lv fan a statement design that debuted on the spring summer 2025 runway. This collector's piece is crafted from the monogram canvas. It can be one crossbody,

since you're so stupid, you have to be told not to wear it, or carried by hand. And it's over $11,000. Pre-tax, it's $10,900. Wow. I am speech loss. That's crazy.
