Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we go. It is that time on
iHeartRadio where we do have to chase down Florida man
and or Florida woman and follow all their exploits. We
do that every day in this It's called WTF and
(00:22):
that stands for what the floried? And we go first?
Where do we go first? All right, We're gonna go first. Sorry,
not to an eighty six year old Florida man. Unfortunately,
he was trying to do some leaf blowing, you know,
in the afternoon, and he was on top of his
(00:43):
roof and he had to be rescued because he's eighty
six and he couldn't get.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Back to hen Sweet heavens, Yes, this is.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Poor old man afternoon doing. George took a little scary
turn for this guy. His name's James Manataris, and he
found himself dangling off of his roof three stories high.
What is an eighty six year old man doing three
stories are.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Going to ask, what is an eighty six year old
doing up there? With a lip? I'm gonna tell you
right now. That's called five ladder? How did he?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yes, a how does eighty six climb a ladder that
is three stories high? Get himself up on the roof
lugging a leaf blower. The entire way does all the
leaf blowing, and then he's like, eh, I'm having a
problem getting down. That's yeah, that was the conundrum he had.
That's what they call old man grit.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh man, Chris, Chris? What that is? Old man grit? Wow?
You want to know an example of old man grit.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I witnessed my wife's grandfather, who is like eighty five
years old, right, he lifted a piano that was out
on his porch. It had no legs, so it was
just like the piano portion. This thing was laying flat
on his front porch at They're Indiana home.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And this man.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Lifted it up after by the way, previously having lifted
it up and dropped it on both of his feet,
he picked it up again, buy and he just pushed
it up against the wall. Oh my, it's not in
eighties five year old man, old man grit and strength
and now broken feet brandes this old man.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
The arthritis is triggered. That's it. He's eighty six, this guy.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And he said that the branches were trimmed and normally
he uses that for support. He's like, I didn't have
my support branches. You also clearly don't have any kids
supporting you either, because where is your son to do this?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Do you? He lost his walking stick, that's it, he said.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
My neighbor just happened to walk out and saw my
legs dangling over the side, and the neighbor thankfully called
nine to one one. Otherwise, this old man, he could
have been hanging there for a while before he fell.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
And that's three stories. I go in seconds. I can't
hold myself for nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
There's a video of this whole thing, this old man
hanging over the ledge and unfortunately, you know, I guess
it's due to the slide of the roof and everything.
You know, his shorts seem to go along with it,
because his shorts are about knee lane and you can
see us underwear.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Unfortunately, I was gonna say not the short short and
the shiny shins. The authoritis yea, the loafers.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I see London, I see France. I see this man's
underpants rights.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
A little bit of a poopy state. He's still, he's
very scared. He's also eighty six. Good for him, though, gay,
I'm impressed. I can't hold myself that long.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, we go next to a Florida woman, damn, who
is not going to be prosecuted in an umbrella attack
on what she referred to as her quote bastard husband.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Oh, the court must have been great with her. You know,
you're right he is.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
According to this, the Prosecutor's office announced this past week
that in Sumter County, seventy six year old Dolores Kelly Dennis.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
She lives at the Villages by the Way, Nicole. That
says a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, She was arrested after her husband right, well, his
is black and blue.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I can tell you that.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
According to this, her husban went to the Sheriff's office
and reported that his wife had threatened him with a
pointy end of an umbrella during an argument.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That's the business end of the umbrella.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
According to this, this argument raged for four days at
their village's home.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
She struck him with the umbrella in his ear.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
According to this, she was also armed with a knife
with a six inch blade, and she threatened to cut
his ankles so I couldn't walk.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna take your achilles. That's the serious business,
it really is.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
According to this, When the deputies got there, she said
that she had no mental problems, and she was fully
mentally aware what was going on. And she said that
she made these threats to her husband because quote.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
He's a bastard. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, things started to soften up in the home and
mister Dennis told the judge that he did not want
any charges pressed and he was not fearful of his wife,
and he wanted her to come home.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, she's going to be the next Lorraina bob It right,
and he's gonna still take her back.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Exactly, that's right. He's going to get that umbrella in
a very unfortunate place. Oh yeah, she's gonna.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Open it, and she's exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
We go lastly, Owen Wilson, if we make wore, we
go lastly to a Florida man. Now, this Florida man,
I don't know that he's a criminal.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think really.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
He's more of an activist than anything else, you know, Nicole,
let me just put this in perspective. A Florida man
set his own truck on fire because he wanted to
draw attention to other criminal matters.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You see, right, the.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Old switcheroo, you know, genius at guy like I'm waving
at you with this hand so you don't see what
this hand is doing. Kind of thing, right, But in
this case, he's an idiot and he's showing you both
of his hands. But a Florida man is facing arson
charges after he set his own truck on fire because
he was trying to quote, draw attention to other criminal
matters in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He said, there's a lot of crime.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Going on in his neighborhood, and I want the cops
to be aware. How are they going to be aware?
I know I'm gonna set my own truck on fire.
Sounded like a great idea at the time.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Listen, I like the idea.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I think it's genius, of course, the distraction, the old
goodness looking over.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Here, but don't look over there. Oh oh, but maybe
you could have had somebody do the crime away from
where your crime is though too. Maybe start a neighborhood watch,
you know what I mean? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Instead, Michael Hudson Junior forty three, and Michael Hudson's senior
is embarrassed. I can tell you that he's like, I
don't want you wearing the family name. He's accused of
using a torch lighter to set fire to a clothing
basket inside of his truck, and he said he did
so because he was trying to call attention to other
crime in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Wow, so there you go, and the crime is you
my friend, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Unfortunately Michael's been the one causing most of the crime.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So his fashion was a crime. He burned his to
all was exactly it is truck. That was fun.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Wow.
