Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. Well, this guy walked out on his bar tab, and apparently was pretty pricey. But then he had to come back the next day because he forgot his phone charger. The single dude racked up about $70 in Bart. Well, maybe by himself.

He walked out after he told employees, he told employees, didn't have the money to pay. And then he had to come back the next day because he left his phone charger and he had left it behind. And guess what? Police were called because he decided to come back after he walked out on the bar tab. So he's charged with obtaining food with the intent to defraud. He's still in the Pinellas County Jail. So he's still in jail. Can't afford bail. Yeah. He can't afford bail. Can't afford food. Then don't eat out if you literally know that you can't afford it. I mean, he ate like he, it. It was, you're just, you mostly he drank like $70.

Don't go out. It's not difficult. Here's a good guy, Florida man. He rescues, a Florida man rescues a pregnant woman from a sinking car off of I-95 in Martin County. Good night. Florida man rescued a pregnant woman. She gave birth to her baby hours later.

That's crazy. The car was in a pond. The vehicle was sinking. He jumped into the cold water, got the woman ashore. And they took her to the hospital. She had her baby just hours later. That's amazing. So this guy hopefully gets a medal for the car.

that. Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash with you. The Olympic skier who was running his mouth, Hunter Hess, is kind of backtracking. This is what he said at a press conference. Like, you have one job. You go and ski. That's it. One job. This is cut one. This is how it started. It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't. If it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S. So yeah, I just kind of want to do it for my friends, my family, and the people that support me getting here. Why did you even have to address it?

I know that somebody asked the question, but just because a reporter asks the question doesn't mean that you have to address it. I mean, there have been other, I mean, you saw other athletes that are like that's how I'm here. I'm not here to talk about this stuff. Like I'm here to, you know, I'm here to, with my sport. I'm here with my discipline. That's, that's what I'm here for. So now he's kind of backtracking just a bit. And he's saying that there's so much great about America. There are things that could be better, et cetera, et cetera. You know, the best part is the Olympics brings people, it brings people together. I can't wait to represent Team USA when I compete, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, it's not, I didn't think it was much of a cleanup. Did you?

It was like the least you could do, not even that. I guess he's trying to, I don't know, he's trying to be a little better. First, I would say, you know what, I'm not going to answer any question where I have to sit here and you're expecting me to dog the country that I'm representing. I would immediately, if, I mean, you know, not everybody has big enough Cajones, I guess, but, you know, that's what these people should be saying. That's what these athletes should be saying. But every one of them's like, okay, I'll take the bait from the press.

And they just walk right into it. And then, you know, you're, they're shocked that there would be this kind of reaction to it. That doesn't make any sense. What did you think was going to happen? Just go and do your sport. Just go and compete. That's it. You don't have to do anything.

And if someone's like, well, how do you feel about represent? I don't know. Your mom, shut up. I'm here to represent my country. That's exactly what I would say. Your mom, shut up. Shut your face. Go delete your face.

Done. Not even answering your stupid question. These, I don't, they act like they're scared of the press. Stop being scared of these pansies. Stop being scared of them. Stand up to them. I mean, like Lindsey Vaughn, this is cut six. Listen to this.

It's a privilege to represent your country. And the Olympics are the largest stage in the world, the largest sporting event in the world. To walk out into the opening ceremonies with your fellow teammates is such an honor. And I always feel incredibly lucky that I'm even able to compete at that level. So I definitely don't take it for granted. and I'm going to enjoy my last Olympics as much as I possibly can. She had one hell of a wreck.

I mean, share crash when she, I mean, man, I don't know if you guys saw a video of that. That was pretty crazy. She crashed early into the women's downhill. And I read that she should be airlifted out, but I read that she broke her leg. There were a couple of other skiers that crashed afterwards, and then there was some concern about the melting snow and that it was not going to be as easy for other skiers, et cetera. But she had a, I didn't know that their racing suits

had little airbags in them, and they do. And hers inflated. And when they lose control, they say it helps to soften your fall. But, man, that was a rough crash. This was after an ACL, a reported ACL rupture. and that, I mean, it just looked bad. I mean, you're falling down a mountain. Let's be honest about what it is.

I mean, you're falling down a mountain. So I don't know if she's, this was apparently supposed to be her last Olympics. She, it was interesting because she was slamming some of these, these critics because people were out there saying, oh, Lindsay Vaughn at her age, can she, I mean, she's in her 40s. She's not 90 years old. But that's kind of, it is sort of weird when you see the. press do that. And there was a reporter that was writing about her that way. And saying that, well, can you believe at her age, et cetera? And she's like, what are you talking about? She's like,

what do you mean at my age? I thought that was just, it's, I mean, she's probably at that particular discipline, don't she think that she's probably the best perhaps it's ever been at that discipline? I think so. But she, I mean, she's been doing this for a long time. She's a powerhouse. I mean, I think she deserves a little bit of, a little bit of courtesy in that. But, yeah, they were like, the Atlantic were like, oh, she shows what happens when athletes keep competing into their 40s. Do you realize that some of these 40-year-old athletes would smoke some of these 20-year-olds that have never done it? Like, imagine, these people are at their prime. They are, they are, they're machines. It's very interesting. And I think it increased

even more when she said that, you know, it's a privilege. to represent your country, et cetera. You also have, I thought this was, there's a couple. This was, oh, for crying out loud. Surprise, surprise, it's a figure skater. This was Amber Glenn. I don't even know who this brought is. This is cut four.

She's a figure skater and let's get political. Here we go. Yeah, it's been a hard time for the community overall under this administration. It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights. And now especially, it's not just affecting the queer community, but many other communities. And I think that we are able to support each other in a way that we didn't have to before. And because of that, it's made us a lot stronger. I hope I can use my platform and my voice throughout these games.

throughout these games to try and encourage people to stay strong in these hard times. So you could say queers now? That's all I mean, is that word, a word that you can say? Because I thought it was bad to say the queers. It's the Q and LGBTQ. So I think it's all right. If you were to go, if you were to start a sentence with, yeah, well, the queers, you know, that would, previously, you would be accused of, of, of.

Lurring, right? I'd be listening intently if you started a sentence like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I know that if I'm, you know, it sounds like a very red foreman way of starting a sentence. Well, the queers. First off, I don't know who she is because this is why I don't watch the Olympics. I have people who are, they have one thing and then they don't want to look at, they don't

want to do that thing. They want to go and do something else. So she says, the queers are having a hard time in Trump's America. I mean, no examples are given. but those queers are really having a time of it. And I'm like, what do you mean? What about, I got a question, what about the Iranian athletes where they throw said queers off buildings? What about any of these other countries where the queers are put to death, the ones that are competing in the Olympics?

Oh, Amber Glenn doesn't have anything to say about those. No, no, no. She's just going after the United States. Let's talk smack about the United States. That's all this is. That's all it is. They're just, it's, it's like a struggle session to complain about the United States. She's, well, and no, and not giving any kind of examples.

We can give you tons of examples of other countries that are competing that she hasn't said anything about. It's a hard time for the LGBTQ, BBQ community overall because of this administration, you know, this is so hard. I mean, they actually have gay people in their administration, so I don't know what she's talking about. there. Why could, was there any reporter who said, can you give us an example, Amber, of said queers being suppressed? Well, no, I'm here like at the Olympics, such as, and I just, I'm, you know, it's just hard for the community, um, the queer, you know, such as maps and such as. So they get all these endorsement deals and they go and bash the United States. What isn't, So wait, she's, is she gay?

I'm just asking, I mean, I don't care, but I'm just, for one particular reason. Let's see, let me look up, because I don't know anything about her, because figure skating. I don't know. Okay, yeah, she's, she came out as pansexual. So she loves the pans. And, um, say, I'm just, there's, I mean, I would think it would be pot sexual because you just with a pot, you can do more. Anyway.

So, she. is competing. Let me just make sure I understand this. She's competing at the Olympics. She's got millions of dollars of endorsement deals. And she's going, yeah, it's like super rough being an American queer. It's just so oppressive. We're so oppressed. So oppressed. Like while she's competing at the Olympics and getting tons of money and endorsement deals. Can I be oppressed like that? Where do I sign up for the oppression? I too. want to be oppressed. Cain, would you like some oppression?

Sounds great. Yay! That sounds amazing. Just go play in the snow. Hell, that's all you're supposed to do. Go twirl around on ice. I mean, this is already, this is why I don't watch the Olympics.

I don't want to watch absolutely entitled brats. Create problems to make themselves victims of so they can feel special. That's what this is. That's what they're doing. If queer is so oppressed in the United States, why are you at the Olympics?

I mean, granted, it's figure skating, but why are you at the Olympics? Have you heard of the name Johnny Weir? Two words. Have you heard of that? Because why is he a commentator this year? Him and that Tara Lipinski, whatever, that other little skater, they were actually kind of funny. But he dressed like a, if this is a phrase, it can be used, a gayer version of Daphne Guinness, don't know. Who, by the way, was the inspiration for Moira Rose on Chitzkriek, her whole

costuming. Yeah, I just, they're so oppressed that they actually can become like Olympians and stuff in the United States. They can actually be appointed in the, they can be appointed to the administration. Isn't that interesting? I mean, they can be Secretary of the Treasury. They're so oppressed. Who knew that American queers were so oppressed in the United States that they could be appointed to lead the U.S. Treasury? Oh, you guys didn't know Scott Bessent was gay? Gay is the days long. So where is this coming from? This is just stupid. It makes her look like a dits. I mean, don't be a gay bimbo. Just don't. That's just not a good look for anybody. So oppressed. Here I am at the Olympics with the gay Treasury Secretary. I'm so oppressed.

I want to dry my tears with money. Use some hundreds to dry my tears. This is why I don't watch it. I can't root for people like this. I want to root for the person that she's competing against. And I don't want to root against my own country, so I don't watch it. I just can't.

It's just a nightmare. So in addition, wait, who else dumb we have? Is there some more? Oh, wait, well, no, this one's not. So here, going back to the Free Sky, this is Chris Lillis, Hunter Hess, this is cut two. Ice agents don't reflect the country they represent. Why do you hate Hispanics?

Because, you know, the majority of ICE agents are actually Hispanic. But, you know, go figure. This is cut two. I feel heartbroken about what's happened in the United States when, you know, I'm pretty sure you're referencing ICE and some of the protests and things like that. I don't know anything about it, but I'm very broken. I think that as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights and making sure that we're treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect what do you mean

citizens and i hope that when people look at athletes compete in the olympics they realize a bimbo too all right get this dumb bimbo off my he's a bimbo too i'm not even going to listen to the other bimbo two male bimboes bimboing it's a bimbo off yeah who won for sure then you have u.s olympians via irving again tough time in our country this is cut three i'm getting tired of the apologetics tour here with the Olympics. Listen. That's definitely a tough time in our country right now, and I think I just continue to represent my values, which is compassion and respect and love for others, and also to represent my community at home and those that have given us the opportunity to be here is a very special

experience. I mean, it's like so bad that they're arresting these pedophiles and rapists and murderers. I mean, won't someone think of the pedophiles, rapists and murderers? It's just, won't someone shed a tear for those post-sweet murderers and rape us and child predator, so mad to say them arrested. So oppressed. I can't. This is why, so I'm not into the skiing. I'm not watching any of this stuff. Does this make you want to watch it?

It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Ooh, flesh-eating worms are spreading into the United States, triggering official disaster declarations. It's a flesh-eating parasite that's coming into the U.S.

from Mexico. It's called the New World Screw Worm. It lays hundreds of larvae in the wounds of animals and humans, and then they hatch and consume their victims' tissue. That's disgusting. And it's, as you can imagine, the infestation is quite gross. The Texas governor issued a declaration of disaster. This was last week. And said that it's a cane. It's a danger to the booming beef industry. Hmm. So now, because he declared, declared it a disaster. They have resources that they can use to try to deal with it. But apparently, Florida, they found larvae in an open moon on a horse that came from Argentina. The horse was quarantined. I'm not saying that it's bio-warfare, but I'm seeing it. Just FYI.

An NBC announcer was caught on a hot mic calling the Olympics big air finals. So boring. And he's not wrong. It's just all boring. I think it's made boring because everybody decided to get political as well. But the guy, Todd Richard, said that, He was unimpressed with the boring men's snowboarding big air finals on Saturday. He goes, it was so boring. He said that the qualifier was more exciting. And apparently people were mad. Well, if it was, it was.

I mean, get over it. Also, let's see here. FCC is launching a probe into the view amid crackdown on equal time for candidates. Nobody cares. Wapost publisher Will Lewis abruptly stepped down. A person got a back tattoo. in a Wendy's dining room. This is separate from the other headline.

Apparently, a dude took his shirt off and got a back tat at a Gastonia Wendy's in North Carolina. And I don't know, man. It's what he did. It was filmed from a car, and it showed a dude sitting shirtless in the dining area of Wendy's,

and then somebody was behind them wearing blue gloves and holding a tattoo gun and tattooing their back, and it's weird. That doesn't sound hygienic at all. Don't you want to go into that Wendy's now? get a delicious sound burger. Get a back tat and a burger. Burger and a back tat.

It's a combo. You don't want that? Apparently, researchers are surprised. They say by the brain benefits of cannabis usage in adults over 40. Can they make up their mind? Either it's going to kill you and you're going to dine in AIDS fire or not. It's ridiculous. Oh my gosh.

I got to share with you the WAPO thing, though. Washington Post. So I had tweeted this. This is an actual headline that the Washington Post had. By the way, when was the last time that Colin Kaepernick like played football? Does anybody know? Kane, do you know? Steve, your football did you know.

When was the last time he actually played? Maybe like 2017, 2018. Oh my gosh. Okay, so this is why this is even more ridiculous. from the Washington Post, quote, The Super Bowl is being played in Colin Kaepernick's former home stadium at a societal moment that echoes the issues he forced football fans to confront nearly 10 years ago after he kneeled during the national anthem before a 49ers game.

What? And they actually said that the most, that Washington Post literally wrote that the, that the quote most relevant figure to the Super Bowl is Colin Kaepernick. They didn't fire enough writers over at Washington Post. Clearly Bezos needs to fire some more. You know, people never objected to peaceful protests. People were objecting to the premise for the protest because it was all about obel cop shoot more assailants of color than they do white assailants.

and that actually has been factually disproven six ways to Sunday multiple times by multiple independent entities. And so I can't, I'm not going to sit here and rah-rah behind a lie. That's just a lie. That's what people were objecting to. I don't care about however you want to disrespe. I mean, it's disrespectful. But if you want to do that instead of riot, that's better.

But it's still disrespectful. And what made it even more disrespectful was that it was done based upon a lie. lie. By the way, that was like one of the first, not one of the first, but that was one of the bigger cracks when we left our old church. And I think we may have found a new church, by the way, in our ongoing search for a Bible believing church. But we had our, at the time the pastor got up there and just rattled it off like it was fact. Oh yes, you know, copshoot more black people than white people. Set that up on the dais. I, I looked at my husband and my husband. And my My husband looked at me.

I was, and he knew I'm like, hmm, wrote, wrote to the pastor, wrote to the elders, didn't hear back. Yeah. So. But that's, that was a lie that was, that was promoted. The media also promoted it. Why are they trying to dredge this up now? Kaepernick was never a unifying figure.

He wasn't even great, he wasn't even like a really great football player. They act like he was like this Hall of Famer and he wasn't. he never was. I think it's safe to say that maybe in the beginning when he first started that some people thought, oh, maybe there's an opportunity. You know, there's a potential here for him to be really great, but he just didn't have it. And that has nothing to do with his politics. It's just the way it is.

He just didn't have it. And I think he knew he didn't have it. And I think he knew that he was going to be like, oh, and he had to do something to try to keep his name in the press because his skills as a player definitely weren't doing it. I feel like that's accurate to say, came. Yep. And that's how the, and then everybody aided him. They aided in the mediocrity of a player by trying to act like it was really politics

that everyone was reacting to and it wasn't at all. Just the bait and switch of this. But that Washington Post decided to write that. I mean, this is why nobody, this is why they're losing. Societal moment that echoes the issues. What are you talking about? What? About what?

They didn't even actually get into it in the piece. They didn't get into it how it was just proven that stat is a lie. In fact, it's been mission creep. They change what he took the knee for. They keep changing what it is. But yeah, speaking of Washington Post, that's one example. Let me regale you with this amazing headliner, right? This was from a couple of years ago, but it's probably one of their dumber ones.

Quote, researchers say Discovery's programming overwhelmingly featured white men as experts while emphasizing negative messages about sharks. Hmm. Cain, I've got issues with that headline. That was a real actual headline. That was an actual headline from Washington Post. Shark Week lacks diversity. Oh, my God.

And it overrepresents men named Mike. Because apparently there are no black Americans ever that have been named Mike. Can't I just give you that? That's a real thing. That is a real story. That's just one of several ridiculous headlines. You didn't think it was real. It's real as the day is long.

Michael Jackson's like really hurt. Steve notes that. I mean, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson. I mean, we can sit here and go on and on. I mean, this is. Michael B. Jordan? Yes, right. Let me read you the first graph of this ridiculous story.

from Washington Post. Can you believe, based on this story, that they weren't making any money, and Jeff Bezos had to fire writers. Here's how it starts. Note the last name. Lisa Whitenac loved sharks as a kid. She spent rainy days leafing through a guide to sharks and readers digest, and every summer she would watch Shark Week, Discovery's annual TV event that spotlights the ocean predator with seven days of dedicated programming. But when the scientist appeared on her TV screen, she rarely saw any women she could look up to. First off, why are you ending your sentences like that? That's horrible writing. Quote, why would I know I could do that? Whiteneck said, I don't come from a family of scientists. I didn't see very many people that look like me on television, end quote.

She found her way into shark research anyway, the article notes, and she became a biology professor in Pennsylvania. I think that's one of the stupidest things ever. I don't see people like me on TV, so I guess I can't, on this one instance, so I guess I can't do it. I feel like these are just made up stories from women who just want to try to create this obstacle that they had to come over to inflate their importance and effect in their own minds. That's really, so it gets down into it, and they're very upset that there are no people of color interested in sharks. Now, I know it's an older story, but this is one of the reasons why Jeff Bezos is firing everybody at the Washington Post and why they're not making any money. They literally went, so this one chick, now you would think with a headline like this, maybe they would have had a team of researchers that looked at shark weeks and stuff.

No, they didn't. They just have this one chick complaining. Her own study found that there's no people of color that like sharks and that the TV specials featured six white men. out of eight named experts. What? So out of eight people, six of them were white? Oh, Keller. And then she said most of them

shark experts were men, which means that sharks are sexist and racist. This is why this is why nobody is reading Washington Post. This is the stuff. This is why nobody's reading it. It is a joke. This is an

Absolute joke. But that's what, now you can see kind of why they're probably not making any money. Why Jeff Bezos. And then they were upset because Jeff Bezos decided he didn't want to continue to dump money into this failing entity. And they acted as though he should. He should be funding their hobbies.
