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, this comes by way of Fox 13. This is kind of a crazy story. So apparently, Polk County deputies, they shot and killed an armed man who was attacked by an alligator while he was swimming across the lake. and then he charged at the deputies with a pair of garden shears and then tried to grab a gun from one of the patrol vehicles and i mean i know there's a lot here um so it was in lakeland florida and he was armed with garden shears he 42 year old timothy shoals and this was a monday morning he swam across a lake to when right before deputies arrived and then he charged at them with garden shears after trying to take a gun from a patrol vehicle. They were searching for him just before 6 a.m. after he was reported

if they got called in by a convenience store clerk that reported on him. And they, residents of a nearby neighborhood, they called the sheriff's office. This was the second report on the guy. They said there's a man out here swimming in an alligator infested lake. And they tried to throw him a life preserver. And he was said to have growled at the neighbors when they tried to help him. And apparently witnesses, several witnesses told deputies that there was an alligator that was spotted swimming towards him as he was swimming across the lake. And he emerged from the lake. He apparently got bit by a gator while he was in the lake. He was walking between houses, holding a pair of garden shears. And then he tried to use a brick to break into another residence truck. And they

said that, this is what Grady Judd said. He said, quote, the fact that he was bitten by an alligator significantly and still continued his rampage is shocking. But if you're on enough meth, the person you see is not the person that's attacking. So apparently he was methed up out of his mind. They did finally take him into custody. Well, they were going to get him into custody. They were trying to. And he charged with shears and tried to break into a car and they had to shoot. So he, wow. I mean, can you imagine? First off, he got bit by a gator in an alligator infested lake and still swam out. I don't even know. So, um, oh can we a florida man who shot and poisoned dolphins was sentenced to one month

yeah a florida man who shot dolphins and poisoned them uh he was sentenced to just 30 days in prison in a year of supervised release the 31 year old zachary barfield shot the bottle nose dolphins and then used poisoned bait they got mad he got mad because they were eating from his charter fishing clients and the uh he shot at five of them killing one of them and then used poisoned bait on dozens more during outings from panama city and they said that he fed about 24 to 70 dolphins poison laden bait fish yeah and they said that he there were all kinds of tips going in on him that he was killing wildlife so what a jerk dude take his license yeah i wouldn't want to him operating a charter. No way. Absolutely not. I wouldn't want to go on any

both that guy's driving. Good heavens. Let's see. This is an Oakland Park. I'm going to pull this up. A Wendy's restaurant in South Florida. It was badly damaged by a vehicle. Vehicle ran right into the Wendy's, and apparently it was a Wendy's employee who was behind the wheel of the vehicle that ran into the Wendy's. No injuries were reported. go, it's unclear what caused the employee to crash into the restaurant. Is it, though? Is it unclear? Hmm. I mean, it's early, early, early, or late at night or early in the morning, depending on how you look at it and they drive into a Wendy's. Okay, yeah, sure.

He was waiting for the door. They were opening the door and then he was going to deplane going down the steps. And as they open the door, his wife shoves him

in the face. And he just looked stunned. It was like watching a Jacques Toddy film. I felt like I was watching like some ironic French deep dive film where they mock politicians. And then he's like, Oh my gosh, the door's open. I feel like he didn't know that. And he turned and looked and went, oh, oh, we. Oh, bonjour. Oh, slap, slap. I mean, I totally did get some Pepe Lapeu vibes.

But that was kind of, now everybody has been Zuprooter analyzing these moves. So his wife, that was his wife, Brigitte Macron, who did this, right? So she slaps him. Is that a slap or a shove? they were trying to say that it was a playful moment and I'm like no sorry it's not I mean her fingers were in his mouth in his dirty socialist mouth that's does that look like playful to you it seems like she would have followed through and the smiles you know what I mean then you would have seen both of them in that shot but instead he's like oh wait let me wave at the camera here hey guys uh yeah I it yeah he was surprised he

was completely surprised that they that everybody saw it and they were trying to say oh well it was um you know it was just they were they were joking around that's what his people said officially that it shows that they were joking around i don't know so she was 40 when he was 15 and she was a teacher and he was a student he in fact he was in the same grade as her daughter he was a classmate of her daughter And she divorced her husband in 2006 and married McCrone in 2007. And they've been married for a little while now, but I, it's right, King. Dude. It's weird.

That's some uncomfortable math. That was in high school. They met in high school. Now, reverse the sexes for a moment. This is why I bring this up. She also wears the wrong shade of foundation for her skin tone. She looks orange and her ears look pale. You can't do that.

You can't, you know, especially when, you know, it's like a warm tone and you have a cool blonde. Why are you doing this? Sorry, I just had to do it. I just, they married in 2007, and I don't know. I just, I'm just analyzing all of this stuff. I feel like she's the power in this relationship. Well, I mean, that's his, that's her daughter's classmate. And she, again, she was 40, he was 15.

And his parents, Emmanuel Macron's parents thought he was seeing Brigitte McCrone's daughter. And then when they found out that he actually had hots for teacher, they sent him to a boarding school. So what that suggests to me is if they're, It kind of suggests there was something happening in school. That's what I think. They've never said as much, but it does definitely raise some issues there. And they've done a couple of interviews about it. They've been very tight with how much information that they give out.

But, I mean, I don't know. So they ended up getting married and they've, you know. But that my whole point in bringing that up is to see her shove him in the face like that, even if they were joked. I don't know. To me, that doesn't look like joking around. It looks like her being very forceful and bossy.

I feel like she has the control on that relationship. And she kind of pushes him around. Whether or not he would ever admit it, maybe he likes being pushed around. I think people define happiness and strength differently from others. But that's not joking. I mean, if I were him, I don't know.

I mean, I don't believe in hidden women, but, man, I would give a little credence to Ike Turner here in this response. I'm just saying, don't be hitting people if you don't want to get hit. That's the size, look at it. So he's like, oh, hello.

Oh, bonjour. Oh, we, we, oh, all the people. That's... He just had a little schmutz right about there. That's all it was. She was just getting that off his face. If you were joking around with your wife who was 25 years older than you cane

and couged you while you were in high school, would you think that was a joking move right there? She probably couldn't reach my face. But the joking thing would be like slapping somebody in the arm or hitting them in the chest or whatever. Stop. But you're, you know, play. but putting your hands in their face like I don't think she's a dude and I'm not going to pretend for yeah I don't think no I'm just saying out loud I was thinking while you were telling me that I was like mm and then it made me think she made it was pretty forceful yeah so I don't in the face that's not a playful move like slapping the arm the back her fingers were in his mouth I don't know what I don't know man it and and so that immediately exploded can you imagine touching down in Vietnam for like a state

for state business and this happens and that happens don't do that stuff by the door how do you not know that door's being open also like just be a little bit more aware good heavens but they've been having to deal with us uh for the past like two days now so they're like oh my gosh it's no it's we were just joking around and oh the office down plays it they're joking around someone they had a body language expert a couple different so the british publications love getting body language experts and they said well this this shove tells you about the power play in the marriage and he was mad they said he made a fist like Arthur that ain't eater from PBS like he made a fist like after you know like down by his side like oh he was mad and yeah so they that's they said

that he was angry about it but that wasn't a slap apparently we have another angle of this slap let's take a look at this it's another angle is it is it another angle of this one I don't know about that. Oh, there it is. She's a total punch. That looks brutal. The McCrunger's push in the face by wife was joke, not domestic dispute. That's the BBC. Horsing around USA Today.

Their scandal, leave it to the New York Post, their scandal-plagued relationship from student-teacher affair to this shocking physical altercation. I mean, I just think it gives some insight into the power play, into their role. relationship. That's how I look at this. So I, I don't know. Like he, but he apparently was, you know, he's all about hunting cougar when he was in high school, man. He enjoyed spending time with his teachers. Who knew, you know? He was such, and, uh, he enjoyed spending time with his teachers. He was at the Catholic Lycee Le Providence. And, uh, her oldest daughter, they were, uh, he was a classmate of her. And he liked hanging out with his teachers. And they have all these videos and photos of them back when like he was 15. It's really weird. It's just weird, man.

And I don't know. I don't know. But apparently he had relationships. This is why I think that something inappropriate was happening earlier. So one book said that Brigitte's family found out about the she apparently had affairs and the accusation was that she was having an affair with him in high school and that they got caught sunbathing in 1994 at the home of her parents and that it was it caused a lot of drama in the families when the affair was discovered and then he was sent to boarding school regardless he was sent away at one point because of this so just saying I mean

reverse the sexes why is it that women always are like oh you can't be a predator because you're a woman have you ever met a woman women are natural predators and men don't even know it half the time

that's the thing like men are all out there and they do everything above board women are below board women are sneaky so why don't why don't they act like she's a predator Kane this would have been

this would be scandalous if you had a leader in the United States today who had dated his teacher when he was 15 and then married her. Without a doubt. It's weird. As we move our partners at Keltec

Well, the patriarch of the Robertson family, Phil Robertson, has passed away at age 79. He was battling Alzheimer's in his final months. Everybody knows Phil Robertson and what the Robertson family did.

I really enjoyed the Babylon Bee's headline. They said, oh, no, Phil Robertson greeted in heaven by 12 million angry ducks. But he was very honest about he had a real rough life in the beginning. He lived rough. And then he cleaned himself up and found Jesus and then well ever since said it's all history But his family announced on Sunday on social media that he had passed or our prayers are with the family there Also we see here scientists have discovered a mysterious sphere in Columbia Sparking UFO speculation now don't get excited just yet people It's a mysterious metallic sphere, and it was recovered after flying through the air in Colombia, and scientists are baffled because it was just flying through the air. They think it's a UFO.

It was over the western part of the country in March. It landed and was confiscated. It weighs four and a half pounds, and it was cold to the touch. And I don't know. I don't think it was just, I don't think it's an alien in origin. It looks pretty. You think it does? It's an unidentified flying object.

Well, I can throw a shoe in the air and it could be catched on radar. I identify that as a shoe. I identified it as a shoe. It's not a UFO. Well, for a moment, it's unidentified. This is a big silver ball. It honestly looks like something you'd get at home goods

and you'd put in a wooden bowl on your coffee table. That's like apparently the big thing says Instagram is to put balls in a bowl on your coffee table. Yeah, so that would be, you know, just that's what it looks like. Let's see, the FBI has announced new probes into the Dobbs Supreme Court leak and the White House cocaine and the cubby incident.

Oh, really? I think we're finally going to get to the end of it. Dana, why are we wasting our time on this stuff? Why can't we just do other? I want to waste time being petty. If you're being petty, it's not wasting time. That's a treat yourself. Okay? Treat yourself.

Let's investigate the cubby cocaine. All about that, right? I do wonder whose it is, though. Their name probably couldn't rhyme with Schmunt or Miden. I'm positive. And people are trying to buy 100% Made in America, but it's really, really hard. We're going to talk about some of this coming up.

It's a Wall Street Journal piece. Stick with us. But in this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. And insidious fear

is reaching, through our schools our businesses our homes and into our private thoughts the fear to speak in America power can

I'm already falling to sleep with this guy chimney Christmas I could play this and just fall asleep at night welcome back to the program Dana Lash with you that's uh what's his face Scott Pelly with 60 minutes whatever I don't care

can you just give a commencement address where you're not a jack wagon and you don't have to you know turn your own crank about your political beef is it possible oh my gosh

Can't even have a graduation, can't have a graduate, can't even have a commencement, a dress without people being dumb about it. He, and I don't know what university that was at, but it wasn't just him. You all said, Kermit the Frog. Yes, the puppet. Now, is it really too far off, though, for progressives, a felt animal with a hand up its back? side to maneuver its mouth. Is that really, I mean, we just underwent four years of

that ended in an administration. So is it beyond the realm of belief that we saw it with a commencement address? But apparently, there was some upset over the puppet that delivered a woke

commencement address. And this was SECU. So it's the University of Maryland. Listen. Jesus. Well, I used to have a fun in the swamp playing leapfrog. It was our favorite game, or kind of our only game, but that we loved it.

Except for my cousin Albert. He never actually left. He just stepped on your back and used your head like a lily pad. Sure he got ahead, but it was only by stepping on you. We've been told that that's how you succeed, and some choose to believe it. What? But I know they're one. I really want to step on that frog right now.

So as you prepare to take this big leap into real life. I'm going to be like Nabu from the Naboutique, Mighty Bush. I don't like this frog. I'm going to give him a squeeze. That was a deep dive. So, uh, it's a puppet, cane. Yeah. It's a puppet at it.

Yeah. I'm done. I'm just going to throw things now and we'll finish the show that way. You deserved, you people who had a puppet for your, your speaker. You deserve it. I don't feel bad for you. People said that it was way off base and he said a quote, rather than jumping over someone to get what you want, consider reaching your hand out and taking the leap side by side. Step the hell off. No. No. What you do and the choices you make are your choices and that is your direction in life. You do not owe it to anybody. This is not,

Do not conflate those with being a good, with good stewardship. It's not the same thing. And life isn't better when you leap together. What if you change yourself to somebody like Mike Brown? Hands up, don't shoot. Oh, wait. I mean, you've got to think about who you leaping with. I, why just, just do it.

Just give a commencement address. Make it about the grads. And shut up. Take your little honorary or whatever and shut up and get off this stupid stage with your shut up, mouth. nobody cares but it's a puppet I would have gone out there and slapped it

just boom that puppet it doesn't reflect how I thought the Muppets were I thought they were a little rebellious I thought the Muppets remember the Muppet movie I mean is this a kid thing you're a grown-ass adult and you're standing there at your commencement address

you're in your 20s you're getting a college degree and you have a child's show puppet who's giving you your commencement address. Really? Okay. I mean,

I just, to me, that's like you couldn't get anybody better. You couldn't get anybody better. You're just kind of talking down to the college kids. I don't know. I don't know. But to even, to make it a wokery thing the way that they

did is, I don't know. I just kind of take a breath whenever we have these commencement addresses. I just kind of, oh, what's it going to be like? I just, I just noticed the older I get, the less tolerance I have for any of this to the point where it needs to be vocalized, right? And not just on my radio program. I can't imagine.

I have a puppet. But that's how seriously they take this, apparently. If you wanted to know how seriously they take your kids, if you're a young adult, you're in your early 20s, and you wanted to know how serious. seriously, they take you, then that's, there's the private, there's the example right there. So we had a 15-minute speech and they had a sing-along and how, wait, so you had somebody walk up and kneel down underneath the podium and then stick their hand up this frog's backside and hold their arm up there. So you saw the person walk up there. It's not like you saw Kermit the frog

walk up right it's not it was somebody and they had to get down there and then do the frog so no suspension of disbelief no no that i just that's just this cheesy and it's goofy all of it's just just give your just give the commencement colleges just do right by the students for once in your god-awful lives just do right by the students and have like a decent commencement speaker please thanks for tuning in to today's edition of dana lash's absurd truth podcast if you haven't Make sure to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
