Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. That's right. It's time for Florida Man. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you on the Dana Show. Three very epic Florida Man stories.

The first one involves a guy who's now being charged with a felony. This is, I guess, his third battery charge. So it gets upgraded to felony. The problem with this one is it involves a baloney sandwich. So a guy who was playing video games, his name is Quatevos Chandler. He's 29 years old. I don't even know if I got his first name correct, actually, to be honest with you. He's playing his PlayStation 5.

His friend took it away from him, said he was playing it too much, and he threw a baloney sandwich. That's somebody. Within the police report, it says the alleged baloney sandwich that was allegedly thrown. I like that wording, hit someone. in the center of the chest. There was no visible injury because, again, it's a baloney sandwich. This is all on a video, which is bad for Chandler.

And then also the fact that it's a third time he's done this. The other two incidents also involved video games. Apparently, this dude should not be put anywhere near video games. They cause a problem in his life and also make him very willing to Chuck said baloney sandwich. I don't think you can actually charge somebody with a felony for a baloney sandwich. It sounds like the kind of thing they do to Donald Trump to President Trump. but I digress.

It is what it is. I don't know if the other charges are much more extreme. In his previous cases, maybe it's a good thing that he's going to get this one up to felony charge, even though again, the worst thing done was the throwing of a baloney sandwich. All right. Another story that I thought was great, Dylan DeVro, who is 36 years old, was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol.

He escaped during the process. Several aspects of his escape are sort of amazing. Dylan was wearing a Dalmatian dog onesie for some reason after being pulled over by a cops in Florida. He was also in the process of being handcuffed and, get this, had been tased twice, once well first apprehending him and him fighting back. Then again, just before he gets away, he gets tased. Doesn't stop the guy. He's still capable of making it away and running. So a dude with one handcuff on one of his wrists in a Dalmatian onesie after being tased.

twice, ran erratically away from cops and then eventually was apprehended. I wonder what's going through your mind in the moment where you fight your way, you know, to separate yourself from cops for a few seconds. You're wearing a Dalmatian onesie. I imagine you're not in your right frame of mind. I should actually say that part too. But you got a set of handcuffs dangling off one wrist and you're trying to make a run for it. I wonder what's going through your brain as to the odds you're going to succeed.

I wonder if the guy's like, oh, I'm getting three. free. I'm getting away from this whole situation. I'll be just fine. But tased twice and still somehow fine or still somehow capable of continuing to go. That's sort of remarkable in and of itself. All right. Those are two. One last Florida man story or Florida woman story in this case. A couple was having a picnic when an alligator decided to interrupt said picnic.

Things that I love about this story. The dude vanished in the video. so the woman was left to fight off the alligator, although there wasn't much fighting. The woman simply just yelled at the alligator, and eventually it turned around and left them alone for the picnic. But the woman kept yelling Gator Boy, along with words that I can't play on the radio, so I won't be able to play the audio at the alligator to make it go away. The internet loved calling the Gator Boy. I love calling the dude who disappeared from the video, everything other than Gator Boy,

and probably a bunch of words I also can't say on the radio. not exactly a good look for Florida man, a good look for the Florida lady, even though you probably should not have tried to stand your ground against an alligator, but it worked out, and you showed that gator boy a lesson. But those are three Florida man,

Florida woman stories that I really love that are out there today. Some of those are top tier over that whole situation. And I guess I'll just warn you if you're around Quattavos or whatever this guy's name is, and he's playing a video game,

you might be hit with some sort of lunch meat. And that seems ridiculously bad. I can't get over that. But that might be a felony charge. Come on, people. There's got to be a way. I'm not saying that he's not guilty of other things, but there's got to be a way to not go that crazy about baloney,

although it's not a good meat. Our partners that help bring you the program, Keltech. They got a new, they got a new 5-7 they're coming out with. I know. And it used, it's, I think George Kellgren, have you ever talked to him? So he's the guy who runs Keltech and he owns it, he innovates everything.

Independent of me, one of my kids said he's literally a mad scientist. He just sits there and comes up with things that you didn't think that you needed until they made it. And then you're like, yeah, I need this. I'll talk more about what they have next week because I'm broadcasting from their booth at Shachow. But they're coming out, they got a new 5-7 they're coming out with and they're unveiling it at Shot Show.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. thrilled to be with you. Dean Lash, Dana Lash Radio, great ways to stay connected to her. This is hilarious as just like an update out there in the world. Apparently, the White House synographers are having a really difficult time keeping up with Donald Trump because he says a lot of words. President Trump speaks often. It's utterly different than Joe Biden than President Biden in such a fantastic way. Like in all honesty, if you hate the guy or love the guy, getting in information from him, getting statements from him is one of the easiest things that's ever existed for media. And finding President Biden, you had to go into the closet they were keeping

him in and beg him to speak to you. And then he had to look at six other people and get something written on a piece of paper before he was allowed to speak. That is not the challenge with President Trump, not at all. 22,000 words spoken on inauguration day by the president, 17,000 after visiting a disaster site in North Carolina and California. Apparently, the people who are supposed to transcribe all these words have no idea how to do it. You need like two or three. You need them to tag each other in and out like it's a WWE match or something. That seems better to me.

This seems great. All right. Let's move on to this. The amount of failed, you know, they need to learn their lesson moments that exist for Democrats. after this last election is is simply through the roof. You can find example after example of someone saying on one of those platforms, you know, we need to do things differently. We need to think differently.

We need to approach certain topics differently. And then you wait a couple minutes and they say exactly the same thing they've always done. They call Trump a fascist, whatever it is they need to do. That's the world we live in. This is one of those moments where every single candidate to be the new DNC, chair blamed the 2024 loss on race and misogyny. They did not blame it on the fact that Kamala Harris couldn't answer basic questions, hated actually being asked direct questions about what she would do if she were the

president. And instead, all the time tried to crap on Trump. Don't just blame the person that you're running against for being a bad, terrible person. Blame all the people who vote for that individual. That's the plan of the DNC. It's been the plan. It failed to work. It'll fail to work again.

Here we go. This round. So I'm going to have a show of hands. How many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in Vice President Harris's defeat? All the hands go up. The whole audience laughs. There's people in the audience raising their hands to this question, joking about it. Okay.

It's amazing, man. So that's good. You all pass. That's good. you all pass is the way that you respond to on MSNBC. Why is that a belief? In all honesty, like truly, why is that a belief? I'll wait for someone to give me a real answer because I'll tell you I'm a white guy.

I'm about 40. I'm a millennial. And when you grow up in a world in which not only are you taught what right and wrong is, and you're also told, you know, what beliefs you should have and what beliefs you shouldn't have for very early age in school, which some people now. call indoctrination and whatnot, but certainly have been taught lesson after lesson about how bad racism is. You don't at all feel like you yourself are a racist in any capacity or a sexist or any of those other things. And more importantly, when you're specific to the 2024 election,

you did not choose not to vote for Harris because she was not a white man. That wasn't the reason. You're like, well, I don't know if I can vote this person into power. Is that why Joe Biden got elected in 2020 because he's a white dude. Is that why his poll numbers were so terrible, absolutely atrocious going into 2024 because white people got confused? Is that what you think happened? I don't have an answer to that. I just think it's crazy. But here's what I'm trying to say about that other stuff. When you're raised in this world where you're taught certain things and you believe certain things and you grow to be the age where you're going to vote in an election, and I don't mean just people in my generation. I mean the youngest of people. I mean the youngest of people.

and the whole time you're being told by one side of the aisle that you're the problem. If you're a white dude, you're told you're the issue. You're the thing we need to change. And even in this moment, the DNC is saying out loud, everyone's raising their hands and they're all joking about it, that white people are racist or sexist or some version of that is the undercurrent of that message. Why would you vote that party into power? I'm not saying that you believe what they're saying is true, but if you were standing between

two choices and one choice says you're the reason our society is screwed up and the other choice doesn't bring that discussion to the table at all. It's kind of hard to listen to the narrative of the side that's telling you you're a bad person. It's usually not easy to be like, all right, I'm a bad person. What else you got? Let's go to option number two before we decide where to vote, especially when, and this is the thing I'm trying to make most clear, you're not a bad person. You're not doing anything remotely bad in your everyday life, actually, in those worlds. You're not behaving like a racist, as sexist. You're not, you don't hide any of those feelings. I'll actually go a step further. This is interesting to me. And it's just a personal experience I

had. I remember this vividly. I was standing at a bus stop in Chicago, Illinois, on the south side of Chicago. I used to live in Chicago for a long time, and not necessarily the outside. And I was just standing there waiting for a bus. And there were some other people standing near me, different collection of human beings, not all white people. And a black man walked past us. And he walked very close into the, you know, orbit of every individual who was standing at the bus stop. And I didn't move. And most of the people did. And again, they weren't all white. They were all different races and sexes of humans. And he invaded the space of every one of us. And I'll tell you the reason I didn't move. I didn't even.

even pay attention to it. In the city of Chicago, sometimes there are people who get up in your space, and I was living there for long enough that I just didn't even notice. I think I was looking at my phone or something. And the guy came up to me and said, good job. And I looked at him, I'm like, what? He goes, you didn't move. Good job. Everybody else moved. They're afraid of me. And I didn't, I don't even think I said anything to the guy after that happened. I just boarded the bus. But I kept thinking about it that his life that day, what he was doing, I assume if he did that more than once was testing people in a weird way and then deciding the reason they might have moved away from him is they were racist or something of a black guy. And the reason I didn't move had nothing

to do with his race or if I had noticed him more, I also probably wouldn't have moved because, you know, I wouldn't have cared about that. It's just weird to get that close up into your space for no reason. But nonetheless, I didn't. It's the decision I made. And it's just weird for someone to then hold that chip, to like hold that information in the back of their, their mind that people have to be racist, and I'm going to prove it to myself in a weird way. And that seems to be the DNC's narrative all the time. It's like, well, people are terrible, and they're keeping it a secret from us, but we know it's the truth, and we're going to figure out it's the truth, and then we're going to blame them

for it. And when you articulate that out loud to people who don't actually feel the way you're telling them they feel, well, they don't wind up supporting it. They wind up supporting someone who isn't bringing that discussion to the table at all because it's not a founded one. With everything going on in the world right now, the economy, conflicts, the open border spiraling national debt, the devastating inflation, it's critical that you have a plan for diversifying and protecting your savings. And that's why so many, including myself, have turned to precious

metals like gold and silver to help protect our savings. And I partnered with the top rated precious metals company Goldcoe to make that happen. It's a great company with a great reputation, and they could not have made the process any easier.

Now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. The Trump FCC chair has announced that they're going to investigate NPR and PBS, which is awesome. For misuse of funds, for all kinds of things, for running commercials that we don't actually know are commercials. For a myriad of problems, that's what will be investigated, and it seems to make a whole lot of sense. Brennan Carr is the individual's name. I just recently appointed and going to go after bureaucratic corruption. within the world of some state-funded basically media.

That seems like a really good call, and we're going to see a lot of these headlines in all these different industries, all these different fields, as people continue to get to be put in positions of power. Another thing out there that I thought was interesting, millions of California drivers could have their vehicles taken away

for being not safe on the road. This is a state that has a crap ton of people driving completely unroadworthy things. This reminds me of trains, planes, and automobiles, 1.6 million vehicles on the roadway that are likely deserving of some recall. Taxes and Florida also came in high on this list. But California at the top, baby, that is a bad news for them. And just the amount of traffic, you don't even really need a car in parts of California.

You could ride a bike and get there at the same speed and ride it on the highway as you were stuck in traffic the entirety of the time. You're going places. An employee was injured. I can't get over this headline. I'm going to give myself a second. All right, we're going to do this. An employee was injured because of an exploding toilet in Pittsburgh. All right, hold on.

Craig, come on. You're on the radio. Get it together. A worker was, I don't think, seriously injured. Hopefully, the mayor's office responded to this. We're not taking care of our own house is what a council person said in response to an exploding toilet. Look, if I'm the worker, if I'm the individual and I have a potential for a lawsuit,

but I have to admit that I was injured by an exploding toilet, I go ahead and go the other road on that. I swallowed that and bring that to the grave. It was a plumber who was trying to fix something. So maybe it's not what you think it is. But when an individual's name is in the news and then also exploding toilet is in the news, a party you wants to just get distance. At least I would want to get distance.

So again, I feel like I would just let this thing go. But there are photos and even a video of the destroyed toilet that was being worked on. Oh, sentences in this story. And, you know, it does seem bad. It does seem like that's the kind of thing you would not want to be part of your workday. And you know what, depending on the money. I think if it's over a million bucks, I admit to being injured by an exploding toilet. If it's anything less than a million, I'm out.

But if it's more, or at least that amount, then I'm in again. All right. Two other quick stories. A mountain in New Zealand. has been given personhood, which sounds abundantly stupid. The Maori name of the mountain is Taranaka Mayunga. I have no idea if I've just said that right. But Mountain Taranaka apparently has now been recognized as a person

because it helps protect it in some way, shape, or form. It's also thought of as sacred. So there's a religious component to this, and then just a weird personhood component to it, that I don't think many of us were recognized. I have no ill will toward a mountain. I will not pretend that it's a human being. One last one, women feel invisible at a shockingly low age, according to a new study.

By the age of 36, most women feel like people don't notice them anywhere near as much as they did before the age of 36. I'll tell you this is wrong as somebody that's older than 36. I definitely still notice ladies above the age. And I've said this even though it might make my wife mad, but it's true. So don't worry. Wrong study. I thought this was really interesting, too. I mentioned Chicago a second ago.

An inspector general dropped a crazy report that Mayor Brandon Johnson has a, quote, secret gift stash. It's the gift room, is what he calls it. Chicago is one to be known to be quite corrupt in the world of politics, the Democratic City, and also a lot of the state has had some corruption issues from time to time. I just love this. The hidden gift room, according to investigators, includes all kinds of things, jewelry, whiskey, handbags, shoes. it's something that's kept off the records. It's actually within his personal office of Brandon Johnson.

Just as scandalous, according to the report, the report reveals a system with no checks on the power of the mayor's office, which is unsurprising. And actually, at times, something that has demonstrated to this mayor to be a problem for him because as he makes certain unilateral decisions, he winds up getting blamed by communities he expects to have support from for problems like the amount of illegal people that are now in Chicago and making it harder for people to live and work there.

But I just find that amazing. Again, that you have a secret, quote, gift room. It sounds like the kind of thing that would be the end of a game show. Like you sit down with the mayor, you have whatever the meeting is, and then he asks you a few trivia questions, and if you get enough right, you get to take something from the gift room. Jewelry, whiskey, and handbags and shoes. I don't know why I found that amazing,

because that's quite the collection of items too. I don't know if the shoes are like sneakers and stuff or if this is like shoes for ladies where he's given away these gifts to people and there's like a whole area that got curated by somebody else. I'm not really sure what that is. And again, just the whiskey situation would probably be the road. I would go.

I don't think the mayor of Chicago is going to invite me into the gift room anytime soon. I don't know if I'd get the trivia questions right. But if I had to pick the jewelry, the handbags, the shoes, as all feel like gifts for other people. And I'm not giving my gift room item away. I'm keeping it. So whiskey is the road I'm going again.

I can't get over this, though. This is extreme in the way that very few things are in our society and reality. This is the Bob Menendez gold bar version of an accusation in the city of Chicago. And I feel like we're going to see a lot more of this. The amount of corruption, the amount of ridiculousness that exists in D.C. or throughout politics, throughout the country, and the people in positions of power, like Cash Patel soon hopefully will be, I will demonstrate just how broken the bureaucracy of this system is and how in need of fixing it is.

And nothing would be more ridiculous than getting to stand into somebody, stand in somebody's gift room and be like, yeah, you shouldn't have this. This is something that shouldn't exist right now. But since I'm here, I'll take a little bit of that, a little bit of that. And thank you so much for everything, sir. This has been wonderful. All right. No, it's been horrible, actually, is how you'd probably react to the gift room if you had any sense of, you know, right and wrong, which a lot of our politicians know.
