Dana Lashes
Absurd Truth podcast,
sponsored by Keltec.
It's his life mission
to make bad decisions.
It's time for Florida man.
So do you guys remember the Florida dude
who strapped his house down
and apparently like the hooks
went all the way into the ground
and they were attached like to con-
like he did it properly?
He actually was able to protect his house.
So this guy
Pedro Cezares from Orlando
he strapped his family's house down
with these giant straps
everything was anchored into the ground
this actually super impressive
and apparently
it was an eight feet of cement in the ground
and he used large plastic straps that they used
to secure cargo containers on ships
attached to ground hooks
and it cost them
$22,000 to place
the stuff around the roof
around his property to have this stuff set.
By the way, if he ever sells that, isn't that like a selling point?
Like you can strap your house down to...
And they said that they...
The reason he did this was because their aluminum roof nearly flew off during a previous
hurricane.
So they got these straps.
They strapped it down.
It cost $22,000.
And they said that they were good.
There were a lot of leaves everywhere.
And there's...
Apparently a lot of the stuff is affected near their house, but everything is good.
not taking the straps off until the hurricane's over.
To hurricane season's over.
That's actually impressive.
Juan's showing you on the simulcast, that's what it looked like, and it worked.
It actually worked.
I thought it was AI at first.
I did too.
No, it literally, that's, he apparently, they lost their roof during a previous hurricane.
And he was like, I'm not doing this again.
And so he spent $22,000 getting all of those ground hooks around his property.
That's, it's actually pretty impressive.
So good on that guy. Wow. Let's see. One Palm Beach Garden homeowner had a dumpster tossed onto their roof by an EF3 tornado. This is like one of the tornadoes that was going around right when the hurricane was coming in. And yeah, it literally threw, I had some impressive, and there's a video of it. It threw an entire dumpster under the house of the roof of this one house. That's crazy. I mean, it's impressive. I mean, it's impressive. I mean, it's an entire dumpster. I mean, it's an entire dumpster under the house of the roof of this one house. That's crazy.
I mean, these things are, and those weigh a lot. Those things weigh a ton.
This, let's see, Coast Guard rescued a dude who was clinging to a cooler in open water.
Wow. So this was the day after Hurricane Milton. They were looking for a boat captain.
He was wearing a red life jacket, black shirt and black pants. And they had an emergency locator beacon.
And that's what the guy had. And he also had his cooler.
He weathered one night in open water with the hurricane strong winds and massive waves.
He was 30 miles off of Longboat Key in the Gulf of Mexico.
Juan's preparing the video.
This dude literally was spent the night in open water during a hurricane with his life vest,
his locator beacon, and his cooler.
I have never seen anything like this in my life.
Holy cow.
How did he not get eaten?
I don't even know.
And they were like, I don't think that they thought they were going to be able to get him.
But they said that the, I mean, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
They saved him.
I mean, they got him out and he's like, okay, this is so wild that he was out there.
I can't even believe what.
Wow.
So, I mean, he had been aboard a fishing boat called the Captain Dave.
We got Lieutenant Dan Captain Day.
And he was trying to bring the vessel back into port and make repairs.
But he was trying to beat the hurricane back in.
As soon as it wasn't that he was like flouting, you know, preparation.
He was trying to get back.
He had a problem with his rudder.
But man, the conditions deteriorated too rapidly and he got caught out in it.
So that's wild.
But he survived a full night and they got him.
So I've never seen anything like that before.
Gators sting raisin snakes.
Florida people, Floridians are urged to avoid the flood water.
because there's stingrays in there, there's snakes in there, there's gators in there,
there's a myriad of dangers lurking in the water because you are in a swamp, just FYI,
it's a swamp.
So they're warning people, just be careful.
Just keep it on your mind, you know, don't live totally in fear, but just, you know, kind of keep it,
you know, on your mind that, you know, maybe you don't want to be out there in that flood.
I wouldn't be, because I'd be like, there's, my luck, there's like 50 gators, like right there.
You'd open the door and there's like gators.
It's our friends over at Keltech, the P15, stands for 15 pews, approximately.
It's a great American company, Florida-based company, great success story as well.
But KELTEC, the P-15, it doesn't matter if you're new.
It doesn't matter if you're new to shooting like Tim Walls or if you're a seasoned old pro.
This is, it's lightweight and powerful.
You don't have to compromise stopping power for concealability.
And that's what the P-15 delivers as two versions.
You have a metal frame version and the polymer version.
It's a striker-fire pistol.
metal frame comes with these gorgeous walnut panels on it.
The polymer version's got the gator grip texture.
It's just a really nice looking gun.
Classic look, classic feel.
And it ships with two standard capacity magazines.
One is a 15 round with a minimal pinky extension.
The other is a flush-fit double-stack mag that holds 12.
Both are double-stack magazines.
I know.
And it's still the thinnest 9-millimeter you will have.
It's the lightest thinnest 9-millimeter I have, and it's double-stack mag.
12-round one with the flush-fit that gives you even more ultra-concealability.
Tritium fiber optic front site, fully adjustable fiber optic 2.
2.R. Lifetime warranty as well. Compact.
And it's from the inventors of the microcompact pistol category.
It's the P-15, innovation performance, Keltec.

That's KELTECWeapons.com. Tell them Dana sent you.
I, oh my gosh, everybody's been asking me to react to react
video. First off, welcome back to the show.
Dana Lash with you. You can listen coast to coach.
You can watch the stream, Channel 347, Direct TV.
And I find us on X.
rumble where the chat happens, substack the newsletter. So Tim Walz decided to, did he invite the
media or did they just set up a, they set up this interview where he was in the field. He was
pretending that he was pheasant hunting. And he has been really keen to show everybody that he's
like a dude's dude, right? We all know he's not, but let's, you know, move on. And he decided
it was the, what is it, opening day of pheasant season,
pheasant hunting season.
He didn't bag a single bird, apparently.
Opening day, pheasant hunting season.
He has the media there with him, right?
I just think when you're inviting the media to go shoot with you,
you need to learn how to load your stuff, is all I'm saying.
I need you to watch this video because here he is in the field.
Basically, he just stood there in orange and, you know,
Bart stomped around the field a little bit with hunters,
and that was the extent of it.
but watch him fumble here while he's trying to load his shotgun.
Watch this video.
This is insane.
It never fits quite right.
It's not quite right.
It's not quite right.
I didn't get a back.
Governor, what kind of gun is it?
This is a Beretta A400.
Nice Italian.
I bought it when I was shooting a lot of a trap because it has a...
Did you try to pump it?
It's not pump action.
Am I, I just see things?
I love how he goes, it's got this special thing so it doesn't hurt your shoulder.
I mean a shoulder pad, you dumbass.
Oh my gosh.
I don't know.
I don't know how.
This was really hard to watch.
And he's sitting here acting like, I mean, he can't load the damn thing.
And he was bragging about how much he shoots.
That's what gets me.
Like he's, he started this bragging about how much he shoots and how much he hunts.
And I would be really uneasy if I was in the field with this dude and he had, you know, this shotgun, a modern shotgun and he couldn't love the damn thing.
I would feel really nervous around him.
I would not feel comfortable.
Like probably more nervous than I would feel if I was with Dick Cheney.
Just saying.
I mean, it is really bad.
So when Barack Obama last week was like, can Trump even?
change a tire. Well, hell, can Tim Walls even load a shotgun? I mean, come on. I mean, I'm looking at this.
And I'm looking at screenshots right now of it. He looked like he just, he tries to, this is why I don't
like him pretending to be a responsible gun owner because he makes, he makes responsible gun owners
look bad. Look at what he was doing with that. Did he get a tampon stuck in the chamber? Like,
what happened? Like, I don't understand. You're supposed to load shells. You're,
Don't put tampons in it, Tim. Come on. I don't know. I was just, he's just a, he, he's pandering, obviously.
But it looks so bad. He looked like he was entirely unfamiliar with his barretta.
And he kept saying, and he told reporters that it wasn't new. He told them that he got it a long time ago.
And he was bragging about how much he shoots. And this is, this is what he used is to shoot.
trap. That's what he was saying to reporters.
Because there's other, that was just the,
that's the most important part of the video.
And there's other parts that's like hard to hear.
But he was bragging about like how much he shoots.
And then he gets his, then he gets his gun and he's like fumbling with it.
Does that look like a dude who shoot?
You go ahead, run it again if you can, Juan.
Does it look like a guy who shoots often?
We actually have a different angle.
It shows his hands more in this particular angle.
Oh, boy. Of course we do. Here we go.
Put it up right now. See him blow the tampons in.
Go ahead and put it out there. It's just so bad.
it's so bad. And he's fumbling.
It's like, I don't know. I work this. I do a trip all the time.
He's just so awkward looking. And that's when he's point. He goes, I love his, what he says there.
He's like, yeah, I got this thing here. It makes it so it doesn't hurt your shoulder.
It's literally what he said. He says it's got a special thing.
So it doesn't hurt your shoulder.
So when you get old, it doesn't hurt your shoulder as much.
Oh, I am. Oh my gosh. I'm dead.
I can't. I can't. It looks bad. And so you have Kamala Harris trying to tell everybody that she owns a Glock. And then she's telling everybody, yeah, shoot those people who come up in your house. But then she conveniently omits that she actually supported a handgun ban and supported banning all of Glock in California. And that as the head of, what is it, the gun control group with the White House, the Office for Gun Violence Prevention, that she.
is being accused by the Republicans in House, James Comer, who subpoenaed her, of colluding
with the ATF in the city of Chicago against Glock because Chicago is suing Glock.
It's a stupid lawsuit.
They're the people who also sued Kia and Hyundai because they were saying, how dare you make your cars to where they can get stolen?
It's like, Kia's like, we're not making our cars.
They get stolen.
What's the matter with you?
It's like one of those suits.
Like, they're mad at Glock.
Like, how dare you make something that someone could use illegally?
Well, that's not the purpose of the product, but it's a nonsense suit.
But she's being accused of colluding with the ATF in the city of Chicago against Glock in that.
So you have her doing this, him doing that.
Do you think anybody, because everybody's making a play for the hunters?
There's a lot of unregistered voters that are hunters.
Is any of this making anybody, any of y'all feel easy?
Look, Republicans did not help themselves when they deprioritized guns on their platform.
Believe me, I got a beef.
Yeah, I got a big beef.
because that's a major issue with me.
I don't know.
I just think when you've literally had your life threatened
and you've relied on firearms to defend yourself,
it becomes a big issue to you.
You know what I'm saying?
So, or a bigger issue than it ever even was
to begin with with you.
And so I get that,
but I don't see Republicans out there fumbling like this.
They're not talking about banning stuff.
They're not talking about going into people's houses.
They wouldn't do that.
They wouldn't pass it because there would be a little,
little riot on the right.
but I mean they're just this just looks so dumb
I mean I'm looking at this and it looks so bad and he didn't get any birds you know because
he shoots all the time I some of my friends are not judging him for not bagging a bird on
opening day I am because he bragged about it nonstop if you listen to him talking to the press
he's he acts like he's you know he acts like he's john Wick he acts like he taught taren
Butler everything he knows that's what he acts like doesn't he and then you see him out there
doing this. Oh my gosh. No, I'm going to do it. So they've been trying to reach out to gun owners. That's what all
of this was about. This whole stunt was about them reaching out to gun owners and trying to, you know,
seem legit. And it, you know, backfired, obviously big time. But this absolute dumbass with his,
I mean, I can't stop looking at how awkward he looks. I mean, he just doesn't know what he's doing.
I'm like watching the video. He just doesn't.
know what he's doing. I don't know. It looks so bad. It is embarrassing. Oh my gosh. If that would have
been a Republican, they would have never lived it down. Right? You guys know this. They would never
ever lived it down. And remember, the first joint thing that he did with Kamala Harris was to promote
a ban on modern sporting rifles, semi-automatic rifles that are used in the least crimes.
I don't know. I mean, I just. I just.
can't. He's got a
how much is that barretta?
That's not a cheap
not a cheap shotgun.
Yeah, it's in a nice Italian gun.
You know, Columbus Day, it's a nice Italian gun.
But he
I'm just wondering
the legal status of his firearm. I don't know.
Just curious.
I mean, don't you have to limit
your shells?
I got to look at, I'll have to look at Minnesota's
law on that. I'm just curious, don't you have to limit it?
Because it looked like he loaded five in. Did he load five?
in. Did he load five in?
It sounded like he loaded four in. If we go back to that first video, it sounds like
he's just shoving four shells in there.
Don't, because don't, in some places, don't you got to use a plug to reduce, like to, to
thwart your own capacity? So did he do that?
Governor, what kind of gun is it?
He's struggling so bad.
He just did it for the chaps. Let's be real.
They told him he'd be wearing chaps and so he showed.
Maybe you just fumbled with two and I thought it sounded like four.
All right.
I got the price on the gun.
What's the price on the gun?
Should we guess?
Take guesses.
I thought, oh, I know it's going to be expensive.
I was going to say $4,800, but that may be too much.
That's too high.
It's like $5.6 in it?
$2,200.
$2,200.
What am I thinking of?
I don't have a nice bird gun.
I don't really, I don't really, I've never bird hunt before.
Well, I mean, I've never successfully bird hunt.
I've never successfully burned.
I feel like that.
Let me redefine it. I'm not successfully. I've not been successful at it. So I'm like, I'm not
going to go and I haven't gotten a nice bird gun. When I've gone, I've used my father-in-law's
bird gun before. But he's got a really nice one. My husband has a real nice one. My oldest son has
a nice one. I'm going to have to get, but I'd probably, I like burrata. I'd probably get
burrata. Benelli makes really good stuff too. Anyway, long story short, he didn't fire any of it.
I'm just curious about this because someone asked me if he was operating.
legally. And I'm like, that's actually a really good question. That's something, I'm going to
come back to that because there's going to be a piece going up at Substack. I'm going to, I'll, I'll,
I'll look back on that. But has that convinced anybody? Has his, has that stunt that he just did
convinced anybody? No. I mean, you can sit here and you can, you know, pretend all day long and be
like, look, we're, look at it, we're just, we're doing, we're loading the shock on. Look at how
I'm such a hunter. Her. But I don't think that that's, I don't think that that's doing anything for anybody.
I don't. I don't think that that's like, I don't think that you're undercutting any overtures to any kind of firearm community by telling everyone that you're going to ban half of what they own. And then you're actually entertaining the idea of mandatory confiscation that you call a buyback. I mean, it just doesn't work. It doesn't work. We got more on the way. In today's fast-paced world, the mental load on families has become significant.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick 5.
So first up, this air pollution is leading to a fall in IVF pregnancy rates, according to
one.
This is a study that they did.
This is AJC, Atlanta,
General Constitution.
They did it in Atlanta, Australia, and Europe,
and they're saying that,
oh, it's pollution's negative impact
on fertility treatment.
I don't, that seems like a stretch,
but that's what they're reporting.
I don't know.
Right here?
I don't know if I put, you know.
High ceilings and buildings
are linked to poorer exam results
for students.
Of all the things,
it's the University of South Australia
and Deakin University.
they suggest that big and open rooms with high ceilings
make it hard for students to focus on what is in front of them.
They did a previous study on this, the same researchers,
where they were looking at brain mapping
and technology and virtual reality,
and they found a relationship between cognitive ability
and the precise size of somebody's surroundings,
and so they were looking at exams.
They looked at over 15,400 students.
I don't know, depending on the light or the acoustics of the room,
I mean, maybe.
But I also think,
that a lot of this is just self-discipline.
And if you're doing poorly on an exam,
because you have high ceilings,
then you have zero discipline.
And you have bigger issues, honestly.
A woman tried to smuggle 29 turtles into Canada
by crossing a Vermont lake.
She was trying to get around this.
Didn't happen.
Associated Press says that she pled guilty
to trying to smuggle 29 different of these little turtles in.
Her name is 41-year-old Wayne Ye-Nig.
She was arrested at an Airbnb, and she was trying to get into an inflatable kayak with a duffel bag.
Border Patrol caught her because it's not like, you know, somebody trying to cross the lake into the border with the giant duffel bags.
They found 29 live Eastern box turtles wrapped in socks.
They sell them on the Chinese black market for $1,000 each.
That's crazy.
I'm glad that they got them because, goodness.
Welcome back to the program.
Dana Lash with you, top of this third hour.
You can listen coast to coast.
You can watch the simulcast of the radio program.
channel 347 direct TV as well.
You got Rumble where the chat happens.
You've got what else are we at?
X, run X. We're on X. We're everywhere.
I was looking at first of them, I'm a little distracted because I was looking at this story
about the space, or the robots that, the house robots that Elon Musk is coming out with.
Did you see these?
I swear, this is like some I robot stuff.
It's supposed to be robots that will help you around the house with your tasks,
the optimist robots.
Have you seen that?
Kane and I were both like, what?
They're the Tesla Optimus robots, the biggest product ever of any kind.
The walking-talking optimist robots, they had like a reveal thing on Thursday,
and they were revealing the company's cyber car.
And they're nearly six feet tall.
They play rock, paper, scissors.
These are actual things.
Have you seen these?
They walked out, walking.
Juan's getting ready to, he's getting the video queued up.
They legit walked out.
And I am really, they all walked out.
I feel like I'm watching a Kanye West fashion show when I look at it, though.
They all walked out.
And they're helping with drinks.
They were making drinks at this event.
They danced to techno music.
Did you witness some of the interactions of the bartender robots?
No.
There was one.
So they ordered specific drinks, right?
but there was a human guy standing next to the guy that ordered the drink,
and the human guy said to the robot,
hey, you may want to check his ID.
The guy was clearly old enough,
but the robot stopped what it was doing,
asked for his ID,
then the guy gave him a credit card,
and the robot looked at it and said,
wait, this isn't an ID.
Hand me your ID.
He gave him the ID.
He looks at the ID,
then looks up at the guy,
then looks back down at the ID and looks up at the guy.
And he's like,
I don't know.
Like, these are really human-like interactions that they're having with these robots.
How do we know that they're actually like human?
They're not humans in a robot suit.
Oh, well.
They have to be really skinny humans.
Well, I mean, I don't know.
I'm torn because they would be fun pets, but also no.
I don't know.
I don't.
I'm really torn by this.
The reason that I bring this up, and I don't want to just,
because they said the optimist bots are going to be in people's houses.
They can walk steadily on uneven terrain.
They can last all day on a single battery charge.
They can navigate around people and pets.
And this is crazy.
I mean...
It's the I-Robot movie.
It is the I-R-I-R-I-R-I-I-I-I-I- mean, they look just like that.
I don't know what I feel about this.
Can we start them off as, like, the people that give us food samples at, like, Costco
and Sam's?
Like we start off as just the robots.
They're like, here's some, you know, breakfast sausage from the freezer section.
You can try while you're walking around shopping.
Like, start something, start it off small like that.
I know.
I look at this because, you know, I'm looking at all this stuff and I'm looking at the robots.
And then, of course, you know, we had the rocket thing.
The super heavy that just landed.
And that was super impressive.
I don't know when.
Musk sleeps, but I do know that Democrats, I think, hate him. I've never seen anybody do everything
that they can to trip up a dude who has done more to help people than any Democrat has.
They don't like him because he is not a Democrat. I mean, they put him in their anti-Trump ads.
They put Musk in their anti-Trump ads. And I, I'm, I'm.
I'm just, it's crazy.
They can't recognize his accomplishments.
Like when Joe Biden had all of these EV manufacturers, you know, especially he, they didn't invite Tesla.
They didn't even include Tesla in anything.
He's like a Tony Stark.
I mean, he is Tony Stark.
And he's hated.
He's absolutely hated by the left.
I mean,
I don't know.
He's, he is, Rick, revolutionized a number of industries.
And I think he also stopped the, uh, huge takeover of speech on in digital, in the digital planes that the left was undertaking.
I mean, he put a stop to it.
They, he didn't come out as like a conservative.
They made him one because they persecuted him.
Juan's showing you these robots.
I am, dude, I don't know.
It could beat your ass.
I just feel like I don't want anything that I can't eat.
Why does it have to be that tall?
Why does it have to be almost six foot tall?
Why can it be like twee?
Maybe we could start a business.
Like mudang size.
Start a business that gives you the equipment to be able to eat one of these whenever
necessary.
Just as a response in the free market.
No, I just like want like a short little robot.
I don't want like a big thing that can kill me.
Right? I don't want that.
So our robot yeater idea is not a great one?
No, I just make them shorter and eatable. Make them shorter.
They don't need to be that tall. They can't do that much when they're that short.
Yeah, they can.
They'd have to have... Make them half that size. Make them three feet tall.
They'd have to have like go-go gadget legs or something.
No, no, no, make them three feet tall. I don't need them to do all that stuff.
Right?
So you want to make another version smaller, like a mini-me?
Yeah, like they do that with, um...
Oh my gosh. What are I thinking of?
What's the thing that makes you feel like you're...
exercising, but you're not. When you're standing on that thing, the segue.
One of my favorite things ever, I hate cardio. Like, I'll only lift weights. But I like to
pretend sometimes that I do cardio and I'll get in my workout gear. And I have a mini segue that Chris
got me for Mother's Day like years ago. It still works wonderfully. I'll get on my workout
gear and I'll just stand on my segue and that's my workout. Like my cardio for that because I hate
cardio. I hate cardio so bad. It's stupid. And that my cardio is just rest between sets. But,
But that's, and if you get in your workout gear and you're sitting in your segue, it's just like exercise.
Not.
But it feels like it is, right?
You just, they're not that expensive.
People think they're exorbitantly expensive.
They're not.
You can get like a mini one and you get a little handle that you can just do, chit-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
See, so if you can get a little one of that, then you can get a little robot, right?
I see what you mean.
Yeah.
Like, I just want like a little robot.
Like, not a big one.
Give me a miniature one.
I'll name it Tricky Woo.
and that's what we'll live as.
You'll name it what?
Tricky Woo.
Okay.
I want, I've always wanted like a little something to name that.
It's like a name that I've been holding on to because it's just goofy.
And I'll, the little robot will be perfect.
I don't want the big one because that's weird.
What if you're like sleeping tonight and you wake up and it's staying it at the foot of your bed?
Like, with this blank face just, you know, like gazing at you.
It's weird.
I don't like that.
I don't want anything bigger than me.
If I get one, I'm naming mine Johnny Five.
well, that sounds like the name of something that could beat you up.
Tricky Woo does not sound like the name of something that can beat you up.
There's the difference.
You see what I mean?
See what I mean?
You insult it with the name, like right off the bat.
Like, oh, that thing cannot get hurt.
Did you hear what its name is?
Collie.
Nothing named Tricky Woo is going to hurt you.
But if you name it Johnny Five, that thing will shiv you.
Oh.
For sure.
Wow.
You'll wake up with a pain in your stomach in bed and look up and when your steak
knives is in your guts. Courtesy of Johnny five, your robot. I never took it that far.
Well, I think of all these things at night right before I go to bed. And my favorite thing to do is
ask my husband about them after he's drifted off to sleep. This is how my mind works.
Nighttime day and I'll be like, what if? What if we get the robot, but we have it? We make it
like 0.5 times the size instead of like one whole point. What do that do? Can it still reach
things on shelves? Like I could, and if you're worried about, you could make it lightweight,
you could hold it up and it could reach it for you.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, see, you don't need something that's bigger than you that can murder you.
You just lift up Tricky Woo.
Boop.
And Tricky Woo will get it for you.
And then put it back down on the ground.
Like emergency shutoffs for these things, right?
Like just something.
That doesn't work.
You don't think so?
When has that ever worked?
Like if it's about to plunge?
I read a story over the weekend about a robot vacuum cleaner that got a woman's hair in it and like ripped her hair out.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
It like vac.
I don't know what she was doing with her head on the ground.
but it like vacuumed up her hair and her head and she was like dying.
Maybe not dying, but I would have been out of embarrassment getting my ass kicked by a floor vacuum cleaner robot.
But I don't know.
This is this is the stuff that keeps me up at night.
I'll be going to bed.
I got my covers and I'm going to bed.
I'm getting ready to drift off and I'm like,
what if?
we got a robot and it killed us that's you know because everybody has alexas right that's what i was
just about to say i don't even i don't have one of those either i don't have an eke dot an Alexa a hey
google whatever the hell it is i don't get any of those things i'm curious as to how many in the listening
audience have like alexas and stuff i don't have that because i don't want the government to oh and
by the way kathleen in the rumble chat is reminding everyone about chucky chucky was little
He was yeatable, but he was also a demon.
So, like, I don't want, Tricky Woo wouldn't be a demon.
It would just, you know, be a bot.
But to your point, though, Kane, with Alexa and that, I don't understand the people who feel like they can accomplish more in a day just because they can go, Alexa, add, you know, something, whatever.
Alexa, put nuts on the list.
Alexa, add eggs to my list.
I wonder how many people's Alexis are you setting off right now, by the way.
I was just going to say, stop doing that.
Alexa.
Okay.
Stop, Alexa.
Stop.
Alexa, play two live crew.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh.
You see, I don't need that in my life.
Someone out there is losing it.
I don't need that in my life.
I don't need the list.
I don't need my refrigerator to tweet.
I don't need anything.
You know, I just don't.
We are an indulgent society that
creates problems for ourselves. And we are literally creating an army of things to come and kill us
because we are so indulgent. We're like a, we're like empires. We're like a rotting empire,
like how Rome as everything was falling apart. Well, at least they had the Coliseum. They had bread
and circuses. You know, at least they had that. And we're, we're like killing ourselves.
And then we're making giant robots and we're going to act shock when they turn on us. I mean,
literally, this is how Skynet comes about. I'm just saying.
You know, we could, we, you know what we need?
Universal translators.
Yeah.
That you can just like an earpiece you can wear and it works with your phone.
You don't need a robot that can like make drinks.
I wouldn't want a robot that makes drinks.
That's, I, why?
I don't need it to do tasks like that.
You know, we need like a universal translator or like something that makes people like good music and not listen to bad music.
I don't know.
I'm just like, I don't know.
I'm out of ideas.
But the thing creeps me out.
But anyway, my whole point, I brought this up because Elon Musk is like, I mean, he's like a modern day hero.
He's Tony Stark.
And Democrats hate him.
They absolutely hate him.
They don't have anybody on the right that has accomplished this, that has done what he's done.
He was asking, well, if Kamala wins, how long is my jail sentence going to be?
I mean, I know people are like, but it's true, though, right?
It's true.
Goodness.
I don't know.
I just, I don't want that big giant robot.
Is everybody going to have bots?
All my friends have Alexa.
And then what is it the, what is the other Alexa that's not Alexa?
Whatever.
They all have this stuff.
And they all talk about it like in everyday conversation.
It's like, oh, yeah.
And I said, you know, Alexa, I'm like, what?
What?
You said what to what?
I don't have any of this.
I almost feel like I'm like Little House on the Prairie when they talk about it.
I feel like I'm going to go home and, you know, go to the creek and get my own water because I don't have Alexa.
it's weird, right?
You feel like that?
It makes me feel like a pioneer.
Then I remember I have an iPhone.
Yeah, then I remember I'm not giving the feds a whole bunch of evidence on me.
Not that I'm doing anything bad in the first place, but, you know.
