Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's time for Florida Man HM. A Florida man almost
hit police officers doing a burnout to impress the ladies.
Man save some girls for the rest of them, won't you?
The late night crowd in downtown Bradenton got smoked when
police said a driver turned Main Street into his own
burnout pit. It was about two in the morning. Their

(00:34):
crime reduction team heard a truck hammer it's throttle, saw
a silver pickup fly down the street. The identity the
driver identified his twenty eight year old jan Leone. Swerved
past pedestrians and officers standing nearby after running a stop sign.
He corrected just before he reached the next avenue, where
a red light forced him to stop, but instead of

(00:55):
cooling off, he spun the tires and the crosswalk, filling
the intersection with smoke, then lurched for forcing officers to
step back. When he was detained, he got oh boy
do U I also, and he was booked on three
counts aggravated assault with the deadly weapon because he also
performed field sobriety test to climb a breathalyzer. He told
them that he was trying to impress the girls. The

(01:16):
officers were not impressed with his answer. You can imagine. Also,
this jes what a headline. Okay, let's ex Cape coralman
accused of causing mother significant number of stab wounds.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Who worded that?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Uh so these siblings got their brother arrested because he
stabbed their mother. So what does that mean? You're accused
of causing significant That's like I caused you to get
punched in the face by my fist, you know what
I mean? Like, what in the world is that that is?
That's like news speak. The guy was arrested. But what

(02:00):
stands out and what I can't get past is this
insane headline. What is it? It's from news Press, which
is like an actual news site. They cover Florida. But
to him any Christmas? That's pretty heavy lifting there with
that whole sentence. A Florida man believes that he was
infected with flesh eating bacteria while cutting grass. What this

(02:23):
is in Jacksonville, he was hospitalized. He was in there
for weeks. He battled flesh eating bacteria. He said that
he was cutting weeds and grass in a ditch that
runs alongside of his house. And he said that he
thinks that that's what happened because it hit his legs
the most. And he said that, I mean, they thought
they were gonna have to. I mean, this is how
bad it was. They thought they were going to have

(02:43):
to imuitate this guy's leg. They don't have to, but
they said that they're trying to. They're still looking at
I mean, yeah, the one guy who got We had
the guy who got killed by a barrack yesterday for
mowing his grass. I've never heard of a guy getting
the flesh eating bacteria thing from mowing grass though, but
I guess that makes sense if you're like near a
ditch and there's water. I don't know, man, that's like really,

(03:06):
this guy runs an irrigation company. He said he's trying.
He's recovering, but yeah, that's awful. His injuries look bad.
That's a weird one. Definitely a weird one. Let's see
in Florida. Let's see, what do we got another Florida woman.
She attacked her mother and brother during an argument over

(03:26):
the PlayStation A PlayStation four. Yeah, Marion County. Now, this
was like a year ago, but It occurred in April
twenty four, but they're in trial now. She was found
guilty just this week of choking her mother and then
hitting her brother during an argument over a video game
council over a video game console. So it was over

(03:47):
the PlayStation. That's insane. She apparently grabbed her brother's growing
to the point of pain because I guess they were
fighting over the plane. She's actually a grown person. Can
I just say, like, these are all grown people? Like
this woman's literally she's in her late twenties and or sorry,
she looks like she's in early twenties. She's twenty one

(04:07):
years old. But she choked her mother, she battered the brother,
and police had to come and they said that it
was over a PlayStation four console and they were fighting
over it, et cetera, et cetera. So that's ended. That's
that's what happened. That's wow. I can't imagine being so
ridiculous that that year pretty wild. I also have this

(04:29):
this guy. Uh, I think we've had this before it
do we ever? Do we talk about the guy who's
dressed as Chuck E Cheese and arrested? Okay, then that's
I have a lot of Florida people that still send me.
Sometimes people will send me stuff that I've already talked about,
but for whatever reason, I got this like three this
like sent like it like three or four times over
the past couple of days. I'm like, I'm pretty sure

(04:50):
we covered the Chuck E Cheese arrest, like literally the
guy in the costume. Celtech the KO seven Gen two

them danis and.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
What.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
We went and visited a church. And I'm going to
warn you I'm very old school about certain things, certain
things in church. I get very to the letter of
Paul on a lot of things. And some of you
know where I'm going on this. Uh, And I don't
really care if somebody gets offended or not, because your
problem's not with me, it's with the Word. It's with God.

(06:26):
So you know, take it up with Him. That's that's
between y'all. But I'll say this. We we have been
visiting some churches to find a church home. And I
don't mean like shopping. I want to I want a
Bible believing church. I want a church that is is,
you know, full of the spirit, preaching from the Bible.
We are Church of Christ. We're non denominational, so that's

(06:48):
where we tend to. That's where we'd like to stay. Well,
We went and visited a church this weekend and it
was a church. I'm not going to say any I'm
not going to name check anybody, but we went and
visited this church and and it was someone that we
used to go to church with that had recommended it.
We get there. It's a beautiful campus. I mean it's

(07:08):
it's very new. It's a beautiful campus. They you know,
they had a waterfit fountain. They had all kinds of stuff, caane,
It was fancy inside. It smelled like a retail store like.
I think they maybe had some kind of like scent
that they were pumping through the h fact, it smelled amazing,
and they're clean like soap. It was so nice. I

(07:29):
don't know why that struck me. It was a little loud.
The sound was loud. We come from a faith that
or a practice, I don't want to say a faith
or you know, church or Christ. So we come from
a place where we don't have a lot of the
instrumentation because it's you know, lift your voices up and
you're active in the worship. I do get weird when

(07:50):
there's like a wall of instrumentation that's so loud you
can't even talk to the person next to you and
you feel like you're at a concert. I just God,
I have some issions with that. But anyway, it's a
minor thing. We're in there, and they had a great
worship and pray service, and they were singing some old

(08:13):
school songs that I remember when I was a kid.
And we're getting ready to settle in and a woman
comes up and she's, you know, talking about stuff. And
I was assuming that this was going to be a
female who is coming up and is talking to us
about maybe I don't know, VVS or maybe some of
the women's groups or something. And she kept going and

(08:34):
then she started in scripture, and I realized, oh my gosh,
she's giving the sermon. Keine's eyebrush just shot up over
his Robert Evans glasses. She she was giving the sermon,
and I sat there because I I think that you
either take some of the word or none of the word,

(08:54):
or all of the word or none of the word.
You can't just like parse it out and take I'll
just have a little bit of this word, I'll have
a little bit of this. You either take all of
it or none of it. And I don't support women pastors.
I am very Again, if you take issue with me
on this, then argue about it with God in Paul's letters,

(09:15):
argue about it in the New Testament. I'm not gonna
There is Deborah, there is Ruth. And I think that
Christianity has done more than any other faith. Jesus was
the first feminist. I use that word like almost kind
of jokingly, the true equalizer. And Christianity has done more
to lift up women than any other faith and has

(09:37):
done so much for women this. Women are called to
certain things, men are called to certain things, And I'm
not going to argue about it, because it's just just
it is. The word is what the word is. And
I'm sitting there and there's a woman, Pastor Kane. You
and I were raised very similarly, and I'm it just

(09:57):
shocked me. And then she was giving a sermon on
gossip and biblical law, and she kind of was participating
in gossip while also giving the sermon about gossip, and
I'm thinking, this is wow, this is all of it.
We got up and walked out of the service. Now
we had some family visiting with us. We were very quiet,

(10:20):
but unfortunately I did not know that they were going
to you know, you're visiting a church. I didn't advance
and make sure, hey, you know kind of you know,
I just didn't think that was something I necessarily needed
to do if it was a Bible believing church. And
I was very shocked. We left in the middle of
the sermon because I'm just not gonna I'm not going
to sit there and listen to it. And it was

(10:41):
so sad because there were so many young people there
and they looked like they had a great youth program,
and I just was just I that's that's a big
thing to get incorrect, I think, and I there's there's
always going to be something incorrect or something off. I'm

(11:01):
not I'm not looking for the perfect church. I'm looking
for a church that is in the Word, and I'm
looking for a church that is, you know, of the Spirit,
and that is has a heart for God and is
not about trying to be of the world and meet
what meet the world in the world, you know what
I mean. I want to be of the Word, not

(11:23):
the world. And I felt like this was just more
of that church is where you are, that's where you go,
and it's you fellowship with believers and you are stepping
out of all of the insanity of this world and
you're getting back to the purpose. I don't want to
see it portrayed on stage as part of a sermon.

(11:44):
It's not social experimentation. It's if the Bible. I've just
I was so frustrated because I thought, you know, I
was really kind of excited, like when we walked in
and I'm like, wow, this is great, and I was
livid that it was a female she was and she
wasn't the regular pastor, and that's irrelevant. She was still

(12:06):
up there and she was delivering a sermon, and I
just had a major problem with that. I mean, the
Bible's pretty clear on things, and again, if people want
to take issue with that, they can take issue with God.
Your probably your beef is not with me. I don't know.
I was that the right thing to do, Kane to
get up and leave, I would say, so, I mean,
everyone has their own convictions, but the reality is there

(12:30):
are leaders that lead from a position that everyone would respect,
and then there are female pastors.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
So That's where I'm at.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, it was it just I was shocked because normally,
you know, you have someone who gets up and they're like,
oh yeah, on our announcements and the kids, you know,
you know, you're going to kids church or whatever. She
just stayed up there, and then she was at the
podium and then she was getting into scripture and that
she started talking about gossip and I'm just sitting here
processing all of this stuff, and I just couldn't sit there,

(13:03):
you know, and we our nephew was with us, and
he was like, well, I know that you know, God
knows that I know that this is you know, incompatible
with what you know His word and the gospels. So
do I get up and leave or And we were
all of the same mind because I was like, Nope,
this is not not what I'm I'm I'm not I'm
not going to exercise patients and wait for you to

(13:24):
get some of the most basic things right because our
lives are too short the end. That's just kind of
how I look at it. And I know it's there
is a problem in the there's a problem in the
Christian Church, and a lot of people are really trying
to water everything down and in the bid to make

(13:45):
it seem like, oh, yes, come one, come a you're
like throwing away some of the word to be of
the world. And this is a problem. Our partners that

was able to get a z pac, but my son
who is at school was getting struck throat and before
he could get in to see the doctor, I was
able to get some All Family Pharmacy overnighted to him
some amoxicillin. And then it's funny because when he went
into the doctor, they prescribed him the same thing that
would order from All Family Pharmacy. So you fill it out,

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Now all of the news you would probably miss.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's time for Dana's Quick five. Mitch McConnell fell down.
He fell down inside of the Senate He was helped
to his feet by an aid and a Capitol Police officer,
and he waved briefly at the camera before walking away
without any assistance. He's eighty three years old. He was
asked by asked a question by a reporter at the
time when he lost his footing inside of the basement
of the Russell Senate office building just a little earlier.

(15:38):
He needs to just retire and relax and enjoy his life,
because I can't imagine people living out the latter part
of their lives in elected office. That just sounds like
a hell on earth that no one wants to be
a part of. You know, it's just awful. A Marshall's
shopper stabbed a customer in front of her family over
a checkout line. According to New Jersey cops, this is crazy.

(16:03):
People are nuts. I'm telling you, the violence is real.
A woman was upset at a customer because apparently they
were taking too long I guess at the checkout and
she was just apparently getting very testy over it and
the victim. She stabbed the victim multiple times in front
of her family. She apparently bought was buying kitchen knives

(16:26):
from the store and used one of the kitchen knives
to stab the shopper. It was like six o'clock on
a Saturday, and it was Amber Thompson, twenty five, in Newark,
got into an argument with another customer over the speed
of the checkout lane. As the victim and her family
left the store and headed towards the car, Thompson allegedly
purchased a set of kitchen knives, removed one from the

(16:46):
but took one out of the box, and then followed
the victim in the parking lot and stabbed them multiple times.
She was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that
thankfully were not life sustaining. Thompson was located in the
Marshall's bathroom with a kitchen knife laying atop the baby
changing station. She's charged a second of greg created assault
their and fort degree weapons offenses fort degree dangerment. Wow, yeah,

(17:09):
how is that not attempted murder? I agree with you.
A Disney World guest apparently committed suicide at a resort hotel. Ooh,
haunted Disney. I'm just saying this is horrible. Wednesday, someone
was found dead due to apparent suicide at their contemporary
resort hotel. They said the manner of death was ruled

(17:29):
a suicide and it was apparently near the resort hotel,
just outside of the of the Magic Kingdom Park, and
they said it was an apparent suicide. So that's super sad.
And a Volvo. A woman sees Volvo after her dog
triggers the trunk to close, causing her brain injury. It's
not Volvo's fault, it's your fault, like SAMs through the

(17:53):
alley glass. So are the days of the United States.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
I saw your voicing professor on Bridge in the new
Harry Potter audiobooks.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I was worrying.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Are you aware that some fans are calling for a
boycott giving JK Rowling's ongoing campaign against trance people.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I was not aware of that. No, I'm very sorry.
You know. I think we're all living in a period
of time right now. We're all going to have to
figure out how to live together, aren't we, And we've
all got very different opinions. So I hope that we
can all find respect. I don't what's the problem with
what she said. People are getting upset with care Knightley

(18:30):
for some reason. I think she's lovely, and that's a
stupid question to ask, but she was being very nice
about it. She's doing the voice of Dolores Umbrage in
the audiobook of Rally's book series. So James McAvoy, Kit Harrington,
Simon Pegg, Matt Berry, who's very good. And I think

(18:52):
people are trying to get there again. These people wake up.
They're so miserable, these people of such miserable lives. They
take joy in being miserable to everybody, and they're just
trying to find someone that they can get upset with.
And they're picking now, they're trying to pick her. And

(19:12):
so she was doing this interview with this I'm this cider.
This leame publication, and they are asking her this question,
and you know, she kind of laughs about it, and
they're saying, oh, she laughed. Can you believe she laughed?
And can you believe she said she didn't know? Because
she's not a loser like you people. She doesn't sit
around here and do burn book mean Girls style and

(19:33):
figure out who's fighting with who. And quite honestly, these
people who are getting upset over JK. Rowling, shut the
hell up. No one cares about your stupid opinions. Okay,
you have not even contributed one artistic anything remotely close
to the level of artistry that she has given to
the arts and entertainment community. These people are mad. They're
trying to force compliance with their cosplay. If they were

(19:55):
truly happy, they would just live their lives content with
how they view themselves. That's not enough, because their problem
is inward, not outward. They want to force all of
you everyone else to affirm their cosplay and if you don't,
you not, They, insanely, in their view, are the bigot.
It's insane. These are actions of insane people make mental

(20:17):
institutions great again. And to go after her for it,
I thought she handled that idiotic question. Wonderfully, I would
not have been as nice. She handled it very nicely.
I thought she was very calm and chill, and she
was very respectful with her opinions. How can you get

(20:37):
mad over saying, well, we all have different opinions, so
I hope that we can all find respect. Well, I'm mad.
That's what these people are saying. They're mad at her
for saying that everyone has opinions and that we should
all be respectful of people's opinions, which I don't think
you should be. But I even think she's too nice there.
I don't If your opinion's stupid, I have no respect
for it. No one is owed respect for an opinion.

(20:59):
You aren't owed respect. At most. You are owed indifference.
That is it. You're not owed anything else but indifference.
So she's even very nice there. But as one correctly notes,
they want her to pick a side. What team are
you on? They want her to put the jersey on
what team they're trying to determine. See, they're sniffing you

(21:21):
out like some jack booted thugs. They're sniffing you out.
That's what she's not. She's removing herself from that. She's
not playing that. I always find it interesting. You have
some lowly reporter who probably eats cat food and can't
make ends meat because they decided they wanted a major
and get a job in a completely unrealistic, dying industry,
and so they ask someone who is infinitely more talented

(21:44):
and more successful a stupid question like this, and that
as the way to elevate their own profile and maybe
gain wider acceptance and larger and more ascended professional circles,
they decide to stoke a witch hunt like this. It's stupid,
so good on her for giving. Not really, but you know,
rhetorically kind of a middle finger to this. Thanks for
tuning in.
