Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surg Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
So a uh no, I don't really want to do
this one.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Oh, I don't want to do this one at all.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
A nurse found drugs and a Florida man's back door
during surgery for a stab wound.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's gonna leave it like that.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Florida man involved in what police believe was a drug
dispute ended up behind bars because during surgery, because he
went in to seek medical attention because he was stabbed.
It was at Saint Petersburg's Bayfront Hospital last month. The
injuries required surgery. Forty three y old Michael O'Neill was
had a nurse was well. She found that he had
(00:54):
been using his prison wallet for the lack of a
better phrase, to store drugs and drug paraphernalia. It was
smoking gun peace.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
And they said.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
While in surgery she located it and it was round
tinfoil with cocaine along with a glass crack pipe and
a lighter.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I can't even deal.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And he posted five hundred dollars bombers of released from custody,
he played not guilty to the charges. I don't know
how you can plead not guilty to these charges. This
was not his first arrest either, So next story moving on.
Let's see here, we've got a Florida man's cross necklace
blocks the bullet from piercing his heart. This is coming
(01:43):
from WFLA. He was shot in the chest. He credits
across necklace for saving his life. Twenty year old Aiden
Perry and told it in his friend he was showing
off a fire army accidentally fired it because he's more
on It ricocheted off his gold necklace and became lodged
in the fatty tissue of his chest.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Doctor said that his necklace saved his life.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So I think there's probably something to be said for
wearing big gold chains. Maybe, but it ricocheted. It had
to just hit perfectly. They said, if he hadn't been
wearing it would appierce as lung as for his heart.
So maybe maybe he got it as a Christmas gift
last year from his dad. So just saying maybe that,
maybe that's a giant sign to this dude.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Just FYI. Also, let's see here a.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I got drug traffic and drug trafficking. We also have
a guy in Zephyrrillis, Florida. An argument that began a
man opened fire on a garbage truck while chasing it
through Zephyrrillis. And this was early Friday morning. That led
to the guy chasing it while firing shots in a
collision that sent to him into the hospital, another to jail.
According to Zephyrrili's PD, they went to Advent held Zepharillis.
(02:52):
The man showed up. He had a gunshot wound to
his right forearm. He was shot by I don't really
care about the backstory of this, but a guy just
was running after a garbage truck and just firing all crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You had to know.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
His name is Quinson Crosson. You have too many sounds
in your name, sir. You got to give one of
them up. Nobody's allowed to have that many consonants. I
know it's America, but come on, I mean in Whitey
Tidies is Pepper Sprain is sleeping neighbor over noise complaints
another one.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It is shockingly not a village's story. It's water Hill.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They said that this man was arrested he broke into
his neighbors upstairs apartment. Pepper sprayed him in the face
while he slept, because apparently he was snoring so loud
and being.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Loud that the guy had lived like right below him.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He could hear him, so he couldn't startle in the wake,
so he ended up climbing up into his apartment. He
pepper sprayed him in the face. It just feels like
maybe you could have used your phone instead. Taking charge

have all these cameras, we have phone cameras. Everybody's got
a device strip to their head basically, and we don't
(04:58):
get a single We don't get anything, No image is nothing,
and nothing about aliens. We hear all these stories of
flying saucers. We don't get really good pictures.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I mean, I don't see any green little green dudes
waving out of windows. And do you know why that is?
Because when they get in our solar system and they
get near Earth and they check out what we send
out on our satellites, they look at each other and
they go, which translates to.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
What the hell? What is wrong with these people?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Case in point, this New York post piece stressed adults
rely on pacifiers to soothe themselves. I feel a sense
of safety from childhood. This is the story ready. Now
it started in China, which totally makes sense. Now I
(05:50):
think it's a commie syop. But they said that people
are using adult sized binkies once a niche work. The
silicone soothers are now supposedly big business on Chinese e
commerce giants. They're priced budget friendly, they're they're sold as
sleep aids, stress relievers, even smoking cessation tools, and shoppers
(06:14):
are gobbling them up.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
They said.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Some online sellers are moving thousands each month. One Chinese
buyer said quote, when I'm under pressure at work, I
feel a sense of safety from my childhood. Now it's
starting in China, but it's moving outside. It makes me
think this is the next thing after woof lu cane
or your face right now? Are you frozen? You just
got your major froze you?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But what is the why are they doing it?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I want to see what their dental bills are?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like what that's what I'm saying, Like the shape of
your mouth alone, You're you're gonna have braces, You're gonna
have in visil line.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They're gonna have buck teeth. Sticking out. You can just
like get like a ski slope. It's gonna be like
a like a giant you can to bogging down the
sh the angle of them tiefs using them adult binkies.
That's a if I think that, I don't know. I
think I would accidentally punch themat in the face if
I saw them with a binkie in their mouth. Yeah,
(07:15):
my body would go and wouldn't know what to do
and my first response. But just you know, it's like
it's one of those things where you just don't know
how to react and your body tries to is trying
so hard to process it, and it's just.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Are they flavored or is it like.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Uh, do they make those?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't know. I remember ring pops.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, but that was a treat for children. Yeah, we
could choke on them babies.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, but they're like still, you're not supposed.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
To be able to We're talking about adults here.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I can't even believe this. I mean, this is the
most Freudian thing also I think I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
But why is this the.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Thing you can I don't well, I mean, if you're
in China, maybe you're you're sad with the CCP. But
this is one of the goofiest things ever.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's Chinese. Here's what it is. It's the Chinese government
trying to shut their people up.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Probably literally now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Also with this gen z, they're signing up for adulting
one oh one classes because they can't handle basic life skills.
They said, a lot of stuff involves money. Hmm. One said,
I don't know how to change a tire. I don't
have a car at all. I think, you know what
I do. Think parents need to be more involved. I
(08:29):
think if you're a parent, you're not teaching your kid
how to change a tire, Like do your damn job,
mom and dad teach them how to change a tire.
I mean, that's where it starts. It starts in the home,
you know what I mean. It's not like these kids
grow up in a vacuum. If they don't know how
to boil water or like make mac and cheese, the
hell's wrong? What'd you do in your home? Did you
not raise kids to understand how to do this stuff?
(08:50):
This doesn't happen like all on its own, unrelated to
anything else. They said that they wanted to learn like
some of them, they don't know how to do laundry properly.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's a New York Post piece. Someone had to google.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Someone told New York Posts they had to google what
a turn up was because they were making a recipe.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Uh, it's like budgeting, navigating grocery stores. Cheez, they're offering
There's like colleges that are offering adulting one oh one
classes because parents.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
You know what, I think some of.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
The problem is is that we had progressives move us
away from a family unit that only required one income,
and now as a result, and because everybody's so busy
and so stressed and so detached, I think a lot
of these life skills people aren't just sharing them. And
some of it's just lazy parents, but they're just they're
not sharing them. I mean, they need to be proactive.
(09:44):
Your kids aren't just gonna suddenly wake up one day
and go, oh no, I change a tired They're not
gonna do yours a parent, you're going to introduce that
concept to them. But they said that kids are growing
up less dependent, and I think again, it's because we
have literally shifted the paradigm over to this weird area
where no one can hardly afford anything and everyone. They
(10:07):
all lived to work and and and really instead of
you know, kind of working to live and just kind
of keeping keeping things separate, you know, keeping things partitioned, compartmentalizing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
There's no break for people.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And I think that we're also besieged every second of that.
We are awake with noise, advertising, television, social media, everything.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think there's something to all of it that contributes
to it. It's easy to make fun of them, you know,
it's really easy to be like, what do you mean
you don't know how to do this stuff? What do
you mean you don't know how to But there there Look,
there are some gen xers that didn't know how to
do that, and gen xers didn't know how to do
it because their parents never showed them. I grew up
with people like that whose parents never They were running
around and had both parents were working, and they were
(10:56):
stressed out, et cetera. This was the type of modern
life that you were promised was going to make it
easier for humanity, and instead, now people can't even do
basic things. They have to outsource every single service. Every
single service has to be outsourced. Nobody knows how to
fix the seam or him pants even I mean everybody
goes to a tailor, well if they go to tailor's
(11:18):
to do it. There's just like little things that you know,
people just don't do anymore, and then when they need
that skill, it's a big issue.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I don't know. Didn't ravers use pacifiers, kne they did?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Jeez, the pacifiers and glowsticks. They never choked on them. Sadly,
our friends over at Keltech who make the program possible,
the PR fifty seven, you can actually have this as
your daily driver. The PR fifty seven. It's a rotary
barrel pistol chambered in five to seven. It's actually the
lightest five to seven that's out on the market. They
achieved this in a couple of different ways. First off,
the rotary barrel makes it lighter, but also the unique
(11:57):
top loading features so you loaded at the time. But
instead of traditional magazines, you actually use stripper clips. So
the left when they say it's clips instead of mags,
it's actually correct. Just with this specific firearm, but it
makes for a slimmer carey profile, twenty plus one capacity,
super easy field strip. I mean msrp's only three ninety nine,
it's very affordable made by the folks based in Florida, Keeltech.
(12:18):
You can learn more at l Tech Weapons dot com,
Innovation Performance Caltech. It's k e l t ec Weapons
dot com. Tell them Dana sent.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You, and now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All right, So first up, a vast underwater city was
discovered near the resting place of Noah's Ark that rewrites
the Bible story known to millions. Can we go there
and live? I would like to, just to get away
from everybody else. I mean, that's pretty cool, isn't it.
The former Superman actor Dean Kane also reveals that he's
becoming an ICE agent to support the mass deportation agenda.
(12:54):
I kind of like that mass m DA mass deportation agenda.
He's going to be sworn in asap amid the federal
agency's recruitment drive and unprecedented mmmmm, stupid Guardian article.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You I'm done.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm not even reading this article like it's the legitimate thing.
I would not even use this as like a thing
to wipe up waste a Guardian.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I wouldn't so er x out of that.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Also because it's you know why, because whenever I have
a reporter that is all into self glorification and they're like,
I am so important, I need to let you know
that my viewpoint in the first article, then Dinah Aid's
fire because nobody cares, right, I just nobody cares about
your stupid bias. You're literally a cancer in journalism. These
people are a cancer to journalism. They absolutely are. It's true,
(13:42):
all right, so ooh, I don't know take this what
you will. AP is trying well, the AP story is
not coming up anymore because for some reason, but they
were trying to argue that somehow potus is the tariffs,
the it's a record high what were they saying, it's
record high export, et cetera, et cetera. We'll come back
to that because I think that's in the light of
(14:04):
the penalties that they just applied to India, which, by
the way, they apply these penalties to India because India
won't stop buying Russian gas and oil. I mean, you
can buy perfectly wonderful American gas and oil right comes
in red, white, and blue. Maybe not, but it could.
China is tiding killer robot wolves. Anyone who thinks that
(14:24):
these things are gonna work longer than five minutes. Clearly
has never purchased anything made in China.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Are regular wolves not killer enough?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
No? Like, Apparently they're not.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's killer robot wolves. Wolves probably don't like Communists.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, I'm just saying it's so it's a There are
military wolf robots. They're designed to stealthily approach enemies. No
one believes this, fire precise shots on targets. Nobody believes that,
and work in rough terrain. Literally no one believes this,
says the state media. Who Oh. The Communist Party, the
communist broadcaster said that the robots, which were an upgrade
(15:00):
from our earlier robotic dog iterations that no one ever saw,
can replace human soldiers in dangerous conditions to reduce combat casualties.
You know what else can be used as a replacement
for soldiers and reduce combat casualties of at least one side.
A giant bomb that can be used too. So China
(15:21):
is really in an ai and a robotics race with us.
But you know, they do have a disadvantage, the hole
made in China. That's the thing anyway, So I would
actually have a robot wolf as a pet. It's kind
of what arbiters aren't dark tied anyway, you basically have
a robot wolf.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's kind of what it is. Anyway, We'll come back
to that if we want to.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We talked about this interstellar object twice already in the
past two weeks, so I'm not going to read this headline.
Firefighters rescue a woman who was trapped in a small
chimney in San Fernando Valley. You can't pretend to be
I mean, that is a tiny chimney. She got into.
Thirty year old woman. She was three feet deep in
the chimney. Apparently was acting erradically before she got into
(16:02):
chimney and stuck, got stuck and screamed, help stick with us.
I don't know if you heard about this. This was
Did you ever see slum Dog Millionaire came?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I heard of it. I've never watched though.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It was this.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I watched it like, oh, I didn't watch it in theaters,
but I watched it a long time ago, not a
long time. It came out in two thousand and eight.
Death Patel and Danny Boyle directed it. Well, he I
was reading this piece and Variety where he said he
would not direct Slum Dog Millionaire again today because of
quote unquote cultural appropriation, and he would be looking for
(16:37):
a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it. He said, in
a quote directly quote, we wouldn't be able to make
that now, and that's how it should be. It's time
to reflect on all that we have, to look at
the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've
left on the world. And at the time it felt radical,
and we made the decision that only a handful of
us would go to Mumbai and we'd work with a
big Indian crew and we'd try to make a film
(16:58):
within the culture. But you're still an outsider and it's
still a flawed method. And he said that kind of
cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times, at other
times it cannot blah blah blah blah blah, and.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
He said he wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I really can't stand when people use cultural appropriation when
they're talking about cultural appreciation. They are entirely different things.
Cultural appropriation is a man pretending to be a woman.
Cultural celebration is loving Bollywood films, which I do. I
like Bollywood films. I don't ask me why I like
Bollywood films and I hate musicals. They hit different, man,
(17:30):
so I'm saying it hits different. The best one is
our r R. It's actually reasonably there's several, Wait, there's
several that are really good. R R R was amazing.
It actually took an Oscar legitimately deserved for best score
or best a song that they did and it's really
good anyway.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I can't stand other musicals though, but that's to do
a film like that in that vein, I mean he
was working with I think his DP was Indiana. Was
trying to remember like a cinematographer was Indian, Like how
much more? I mean, at some point you've got to
stop like debasing yourself. Cultural appreciation. Appreciation is not the
same thing as appropriation. And I'm so tired of people
(18:12):
acting like, well, you can't appreciate this or you can't
like that because you're not of that culture or you
know yet, Like I love anime and I like Japanese food,
and I like a lot of the aesthetic, but that's
not appropriation.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
That's appreciation, right, Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Same with Bollywood, Like I love like the colors that
are used in the textiles. That reminds me of a
story on Etsy, which is like a healthscape of wokery.
Uh they and uh there's like some craft circles where
there was a white woman who was like working with
an Indian supplier and selling like Indian textiles on her
(18:50):
Etsy shop and she like got bullied off of Etsy
because of it.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
It's like there's appropriation and appreciation. Stop it.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I hate people trying to run you off of like
things because you're not of the culture that it comes from.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That is so asinine.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I had someone who sent me a hate mail one
time telling me I shouldn't wear gold hoops, and I
beat them down within an inch of their life in
an email, which I really do, And I'm like, oh,
it's so funny for you. I know the history of
gold hoops. Are you Symerian? Because if you're not Sumerian, stfu,
And let me just tell you really quickly in a
one word sentence, why you need to not be talking
about this. I'm just it gets so aggravating. I feel
(19:27):
like it's still happening. It should be happening less because
it's like everything else is kind of dissipated in terms
of wokery.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
But that have you noticed that? Kane Like people are
terrified of it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
They're terrified, But nobody has a problem with Saint Patti's day.
Oh hell, everybody's out there Saint Patty's. They pretend and
they're a leprechaun. I don't think nobody cares. You know why,
because the Iris don't care because they're not babies.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It's only like white progressives that care about this stuff.
I didn't hear Indian people like Slamy Danny Boyle for
doing this film. I think they love the fact that
they were, like you seeing so many like talents from
India and costume designers and you know, cinematographers and you
know director of photography and lighting and gaffing and all
of that stuff. They were just they were liking that
(20:13):
they could showcase that skill set. It's only white Marxists
that gets super upset over this stuff. They act like
they got a white night for everybody. It's asinine. So
I mean if he thinks like that, then maybe I
wouldn't want him to direct it.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
If you think about this, like you.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Couldn't have you know how many Italians made Western films.
I mean, spaghetti western is a phrase for a reason.
That's like saying that you wouldn't have like some great
films like what is it?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
My Name is?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Nobody is one that's a great Western film. You wouldn't
be able to have stuff like that. Just stop it,
just stop it. Just appreciate the art form for the
art form, and celebrate just good stories and good direction
and good film and good acting.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
This is so stupid. I can't do this.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It's like saying something like, you know, somebody like Brian
de Palma wouldn't be able to make scarface, you know
what I'm saying, Like, it's just stop it.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It's just so dumb.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
So a uh no, I don't really want to do
this one.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Oh, I don't want to do this one at all.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
A nurse found drugs and a Florida man's back door
during surgery for a stab wound.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's gonna leave it like that.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Florida man involved in what police believe was a drug
dispute ended up behind bars because during surgery, because he
went in to seek medical attention because he was stabbed.
It was at Saint Petersburg's Bayfront Hospital last month. The
injuries required surgery. Forty three y old Michael O'Neill was
had a nurse was well. She found that he had
(00:54):
been using his prison wallet for the lack of a
better phrase, to store drugs and drug paraphernalia. It was
smoking gun peace.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
And they said.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
While in surgery she located it and it was round
tinfoil with cocaine along with a glass crack pipe and
a lighter.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I can't even deal.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And he posted five hundred dollars bombers of released from custody,
he played not guilty to the charges. I don't know
how you can plead not guilty to these charges. This
was not his first arrest either, So next story moving on.
Let's see here, we've got a Florida man's cross necklace
blocks the bullet from piercing his heart. This is coming
(01:43):
from WFLA. He was shot in the chest. He credits
across necklace for saving his life. Twenty year old Aiden
Perry and told it in his friend he was showing
off a fire army accidentally fired it because he's more
on It ricocheted off his gold necklace and became lodged
in the fatty tissue of his chest.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Doctor said that his necklace saved his life.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So I think there's probably something to be said for
wearing big gold chains. Maybe, but it ricocheted. It had
to just hit perfectly. They said, if he hadn't been
wearing it would appierce as lung as for his heart.
So maybe maybe he got it as a Christmas gift
last year from his dad. So just saying maybe that,
maybe that's a giant sign to this dude.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Just FYI. Also, let's see here a.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I got drug traffic and drug trafficking. We also have
a guy in Zephyrrillis, Florida. An argument that began a
man opened fire on a garbage truck while chasing it
through Zephyrrillis. And this was early Friday morning. That led
to the guy chasing it while firing shots in a
collision that sent to him into the hospital, another to jail.
According to Zephyrrili's PD, they went to Advent held Zepharillis.
(02:52):
The man showed up. He had a gunshot wound to
his right forearm. He was shot by I don't really
care about the backstory of this, but a guy just
was running after a garbage truck and just firing all crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You had to know.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
His name is Quinson Crosson. You have too many sounds
in your name, sir. You got to give one of
them up. Nobody's allowed to have that many consonants. I
know it's America, but come on, I mean in Whitey
Tidies is Pepper Sprain is sleeping neighbor over noise complaints
another one.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It is shockingly not a village's story. It's water Hill.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They said that this man was arrested he broke into
his neighbors upstairs apartment. Pepper sprayed him in the face
while he slept, because apparently he was snoring so loud
and being.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Loud that the guy had lived like right below him.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He could hear him, so he couldn't startle in the wake,
so he ended up climbing up into his apartment. He
pepper sprayed him in the face. It just feels like
maybe you could have used your phone instead. Taking charge

flying saucers. We don't get really good pictures.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I mean, I don't see any green little green dudes
waving out of windows. And do you know why that is?
Because when they get in our solar system and they
get near Earth and they check out what we send
out on our satellites, they look at each other and
they go, which translates to.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
What the hell? What is wrong with these people?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Case in point, this New York post piece stressed adults
rely on pacifiers to soothe themselves. I feel a sense
of safety from childhood. This is the story ready. Now
it started in China, which totally makes sense. Now I
(05:50):
think it's a commie syop. But they said that people
are using adult sized binkies once a niche work. The
silicone soothers are now supposedly big business on Chinese e
commerce giants. They're priced budget friendly, they're they're sold as
sleep aids, stress relievers, even smoking cessation tools, and shoppers
(06:14):
are gobbling them up.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
They said.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Some online sellers are moving thousands each month. One Chinese
buyer said quote, when I'm under pressure at work, I
feel a sense of safety from my childhood. Now it's
starting in China, but it's moving outside. It makes me
think this is the next thing after woof lu cane
or your face right now? Are you frozen? You just
got your major froze you?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But what is the why are they doing it?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I want to see what their dental bills are?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like what that's what I'm saying, Like the shape of
your mouth alone, You're you're gonna have braces, You're gonna
have in visil line.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They're gonna have buck teeth. Sticking out. You can just
like get like a ski slope. It's gonna be like
a like a giant you can to bogging down the
sh the angle of them tiefs using them adult binkies.
That's a if I think that, I don't know. I
think I would accidentally punch themat in the face if
I saw them with a binkie in their mouth. Yeah,
(07:15):
my body would go and wouldn't know what to do
and my first response. But just you know, it's like
it's one of those things where you just don't know
how to react and your body tries to is trying
so hard to process it, and it's just.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Are they flavored or is it like.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Uh, do they make those?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't know. I remember ring pops.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, but that was a treat for children. Yeah, we
could choke on them babies.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, but they're like still, you're not supposed.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
To be able to We're talking about adults here.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I can't even believe this. I mean, this is the
most Freudian thing also I think I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
But why is this the.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Thing you can I don't well, I mean, if you're
in China, maybe you're you're sad with the CCP. But
this is one of the goofiest things ever.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's Chinese. Here's what it is. It's the Chinese government
trying to shut their people up.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Probably literally now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Also with this gen z, they're signing up for adulting
one oh one classes because they can't handle basic life skills.
They said, a lot of stuff involves money. Hmm. One said,
I don't know how to change a tire. I don't
have a car at all. I think, you know what
I do. Think parents need to be more involved. I
(08:29):
think if you're a parent, you're not teaching your kid
how to change a tire, Like do your damn job,
mom and dad teach them how to change a tire.
I mean, that's where it starts. It starts in the home,
you know what I mean. It's not like these kids
grow up in a vacuum. If they don't know how
to boil water or like make mac and cheese, the
hell's wrong? What'd you do in your home? Did you
not raise kids to understand how to do this stuff?
(08:50):
This doesn't happen like all on its own, unrelated to
anything else. They said that they wanted to learn like
some of them, they don't know how to do laundry properly.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's a New York Post piece. Someone had to google.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Someone told New York Posts they had to google what
a turn up was because they were making a recipe.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Uh, it's like budgeting, navigating grocery stores. Cheez, they're offering
There's like colleges that are offering adulting one oh one
classes because parents.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
You know what, I think some of.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
The problem is is that we had progressives move us
away from a family unit that only required one income,
and now as a result, and because everybody's so busy
and so stressed and so detached, I think a lot
of these life skills people aren't just sharing them. And
some of it's just lazy parents, but they're just they're
not sharing them. I mean, they need to be proactive.
(09:44):
Your kids aren't just gonna suddenly wake up one day
and go, oh no, I change a tired They're not
gonna do yours a parent, you're going to introduce that
concept to them. But they said that kids are growing
up less dependent, and I think again, it's because we
have literally shifted the paradigm over to this weird area
where no one can hardly afford anything and everyone. They
(10:07):
all lived to work and and and really instead of
you know, kind of working to live and just kind
of keeping keeping things separate, you know, keeping things partitioned, compartmentalizing.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
There's no break for people.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And I think that we're also besieged every second of that.
We are awake with noise, advertising, television, social media, everything.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think there's something to all of it that contributes
to it. It's easy to make fun of them, you know,
it's really easy to be like, what do you mean
you don't know how to do this stuff? What do
you mean you don't know how to But there there Look,
there are some gen xers that didn't know how to
do that, and gen xers didn't know how to do
it because their parents never showed them. I grew up
with people like that whose parents never They were running
around and had both parents were working, and they were
(10:56):
stressed out, et cetera. This was the type of modern
life that you were promised was going to make it
easier for humanity, and instead, now people can't even do
basic things. They have to outsource every single service. Every
single service has to be outsourced. Nobody knows how to
fix the seam or him pants even I mean everybody
goes to a tailor, well if they go to tailor's
(11:18):
to do it. There's just like little things that you know,
people just don't do anymore, and then when they need
that skill, it's a big issue.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I don't know. Didn't ravers use pacifiers, kne they did?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Jeez, the pacifiers and glowsticks. They never choked on them. Sadly,
our friends over at Keltech who make the program possible,
the PR fifty seven, you can actually have this as
your daily driver. The PR fifty seven. It's a rotary
barrel pistol chambered in five to seven. It's actually the
lightest five to seven that's out on the market. They
achieved this in a couple of different ways. First off,
the rotary barrel makes it lighter, but also the unique
(11:57):
top loading features so you loaded at the time. But
instead of traditional magazines, you actually use stripper clips. So
the left when they say it's clips instead of mags,
it's actually correct. Just with this specific firearm, but it
makes for a slimmer carey profile, twenty plus one capacity,
super easy field strip. I mean msrp's only three ninety nine,
it's very affordable made by the folks based in Florida, Keeltech.
(12:18):
You can learn more at l Tech Weapons dot com,
Innovation Performance Caltech. It's k e l t ec Weapons

Speaker 2 (12:24):
You, and now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All right, So first up, a vast underwater city was
discovered near the resting place of Noah's Ark that rewrites
the Bible story known to millions. Can we go there
and live? I would like to, just to get away
from everybody else. I mean, that's pretty cool, isn't it.
The former Superman actor Dean Kane also reveals that he's
becoming an ICE agent to support the mass deportation agenda.
(12:54):
I kind of like that mass m DA mass deportation agenda.
He's going to be sworn in asap amid the federal
agency's recruitment drive and unprecedented mmmmm, stupid Guardian article.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You I'm done.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm not even reading this article like it's the legitimate thing.
I would not even use this as like a thing
to wipe up waste a Guardian.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I wouldn't so er x out of that.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Also because it's you know why, because whenever I have
a reporter that is all into self glorification and they're like,
I am so important, I need to let you know
that my viewpoint in the first article, then Dinah Aid's
fire because nobody cares, right, I just nobody cares about
your stupid bias. You're literally a cancer in journalism. These
people are a cancer to journalism. They absolutely are. It's true,
(13:42):
all right, so ooh, I don't know take this what
you will. AP is trying well, the AP story is
not coming up anymore because for some reason, but they
were trying to argue that somehow potus is the tariffs,
the it's a record high what were they saying, it's
record high export, et cetera, et cetera. We'll come back
to that because I think that's in the light of
(14:04):
the penalties that they just applied to India, which, by
the way, they apply these penalties to India because India
won't stop buying Russian gas and oil. I mean, you
can buy perfectly wonderful American gas and oil right comes
in red, white, and blue. Maybe not, but it could.
China is tiding killer robot wolves. Anyone who thinks that
(14:24):
these things are gonna work longer than five minutes. Clearly
has never purchased anything made in China.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Are regular wolves not killer enough?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
No? Like, Apparently they're not.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's killer robot wolves. Wolves probably don't like Communists.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, I'm just saying it's so it's a There are
military wolf robots. They're designed to stealthily approach enemies. No
one believes this, fire precise shots on targets. Nobody believes that,
and work in rough terrain. Literally no one believes this,
says the state media. Who Oh. The Communist Party, the
communist broadcaster said that the robots, which were an upgrade
(15:00):
from our earlier robotic dog iterations that no one ever saw,
can replace human soldiers in dangerous conditions to reduce combat casualties.
You know what else can be used as a replacement
for soldiers and reduce combat casualties of at least one side.
A giant bomb that can be used too. So China
(15:21):
is really in an ai and a robotics race with us.
But you know, they do have a disadvantage, the hole
made in China. That's the thing anyway, So I would
actually have a robot wolf as a pet. It's kind
of what arbiters aren't dark tied anyway, you basically have
a robot wolf.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's kind of what it is. Anyway, We'll come back
to that if we want to.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We talked about this interstellar object twice already in the
past two weeks, so I'm not going to read this headline.
Firefighters rescue a woman who was trapped in a small
chimney in San Fernando Valley. You can't pretend to be
I mean, that is a tiny chimney. She got into.
Thirty year old woman. She was three feet deep in
the chimney. Apparently was acting erradically before she got into
(16:02):
chimney and stuck, got stuck and screamed, help stick with us.
I don't know if you heard about this. This was
Did you ever see slum Dog Millionaire came?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I heard of it. I've never watched though.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It was this.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I watched it like, oh, I didn't watch it in theaters,
but I watched it a long time ago, not a
long time. It came out in two thousand and eight.
Death Patel and Danny Boyle directed it. Well, he I
was reading this piece and Variety where he said he
would not direct Slum Dog Millionaire again today because of
quote unquote cultural appropriation, and he would be looking for
(16:37):
a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it. He said, in
a quote directly quote, we wouldn't be able to make
that now, and that's how it should be. It's time
to reflect on all that we have, to look at
the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've
left on the world. And at the time it felt radical,
and we made the decision that only a handful of
us would go to Mumbai and we'd work with a
big Indian crew and we'd try to make a film
(16:58):
within the culture. But you're still an outsider and it's
still a flawed method. And he said that kind of
cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times, at other
times it cannot blah blah blah blah blah, and.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
He said he wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I really can't stand when people use cultural appropriation when
they're talking about cultural appreciation. They are entirely different things.
Cultural appropriation is a man pretending to be a woman.
Cultural celebration is loving Bollywood films, which I do. I
like Bollywood films. I don't ask me why I like
Bollywood films and I hate musicals. They hit different, man,
(17:30):
so I'm saying it hits different. The best one is
our r R. It's actually reasonably there's several, Wait, there's
several that are really good. R R R was amazing.
It actually took an Oscar legitimately deserved for best score
or best a song that they did and it's really
good anyway.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I can't stand other musicals though, but that's to do
a film like that in that vein, I mean he
was working with I think his DP was Indiana. Was
trying to remember like a cinematographer was Indian, Like how
much more? I mean, at some point you've got to
stop like debasing yourself. Cultural appreciation. Appreciation is not the
same thing as appropriation. And I'm so tired of people
(18:12):
acting like, well, you can't appreciate this or you can't
like that because you're not of that culture or you
know yet, Like I love anime and I like Japanese food,
and I like a lot of the aesthetic, but that's
not appropriation.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
That's appreciation, right, Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Same with Bollywood, Like I love like the colors that
are used in the textiles. That reminds me of a
story on Etsy, which is like a healthscape of wokery.
Uh they and uh there's like some craft circles where
there was a white woman who was like working with
an Indian supplier and selling like Indian textiles on her
(18:50):
Etsy shop and she like got bullied off of Etsy
because of it.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
It's like there's appropriation and appreciation. Stop it.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I hate people trying to run you off of like
things because you're not of the culture that it comes from.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That is so asinine.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I had someone who sent me a hate mail one
time telling me I shouldn't wear gold hoops, and I
beat them down within an inch of their life in
an email, which I really do, And I'm like, oh,
it's so funny for you. I know the history of
gold hoops. Are you Symerian? Because if you're not Sumerian, stfu,
And let me just tell you really quickly in a
one word sentence, why you need to not be talking
about this. I'm just it gets so aggravating. I feel
(19:27):
like it's still happening. It should be happening less because
it's like everything else is kind of dissipated in terms
of wokery.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
But that have you noticed that? Kane Like people are
terrified of it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
They're terrified, But nobody has a problem with Saint Patti's day.
Oh hell, everybody's out there Saint Patty's. They pretend and
they're a leprechaun. I don't think nobody cares. You know why,
because the Iris don't care because they're not babies.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It's only like white progressives that care about this stuff.
I didn't hear Indian people like Slamy Danny Boyle for
doing this film. I think they love the fact that
they were, like you seeing so many like talents from
India and costume designers and you know, cinematographers and you
know director of photography and lighting and gaffing and all
of that stuff. They were just they were liking that
(20:13):
they could showcase that skill set. It's only white Marxists
that gets super upset over this stuff. They act like
they got a white night for everybody. It's asinine. So
I mean if he thinks like that, then maybe I
wouldn't want him to direct it.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
If you think about this, like you.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Couldn't have you know how many Italians made Western films.
I mean, spaghetti western is a phrase for a reason.
That's like saying that you wouldn't have like some great
films like what is it?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
My Name is?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Nobody is one that's a great Western film. You wouldn't
be able to have stuff like that. Just stop it,
just stop it. Just appreciate the art form for the
art form, and celebrate just good stories and good direction
and good film and good acting.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
This is so stupid. I can't do this.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
It's like saying something like, you know, somebody like Brian
de Palma wouldn't be able to make scarface, you know
what I'm saying, Like, it's just stop it.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It's just so dumb.
