Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 1 (00:14):
That's right, It's time for Florida Man. On The Dana Show,
d Dana Lash Radio and x on Twitter. A great
ways to stay connected to her. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in thrilled to be with you Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Craigs.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
If you want to follow me and what I occasionally
say about the New York Yankees, that's totally fine.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I get in on that too.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Several different Florida Man stories, some of them amazing, this
one horrific but also ridiculously Florida. A couple in Florida's
facing charges after they left their sixteen year old son
on the side of the road.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
They said they didn't want him anymore. At sixteen years old.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Some parents might start to get frustrated with a young
man son, especially, but I don't know any teenager might
be annoying. The right approach is not to leave them
on the side of the road and try to drive away.
That's not going to work out. Uniquely Florida about this story,
They left him with a wad of cash and a
bag of handguns. They're like, here you go, son, you're sixteen,
you're an adult according to us in Florida. So here's

(01:08):
a lot of cash, and here's just a bag of
an assortment of handguns. We don't know why you need
so many and in such a random thing, like not
even in a box, man, like at least put him
in a little safe or something.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
But now they just have them all in a bag
and they're handing him to this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I have audio of Josh Taylor, who's the chief of
staff for the Northport Police Department, talking about the ridiculousness
of this story.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
The story was these people kicked him out of the
car and gave him two bags. And you know, once
through the course of that investigation talking with him, we
were able to figure out what was in those bags.
There was the voted weapons, and I believe there was
a magazine as well. The report indicates that the child
was handed you know, these bags and said you're the

(01:54):
chosen one.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Good luck.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
So that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I gotta be honest.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
A part of me would be a little bit motivating
if someone handed me a bag of handguns and said
I was the chosen one. But that's probably the wrong
thing to take from this. And I'm a gun guy.
I'm definitely very happy with the guns that I have
right now. Of Course, I don't think you could fill
in on the show and not be a pro gun person,
because Dana is so prolifically awesome and her own discussion
and opinion of guns in her history and understanding the

(02:21):
very important value of the Second Amendment. But now teenager
side of the road bag of handguns probably not a
good move. Uniquely Florida, though, a Florida man robbed seven
thousand dollars worth of lottery scratch off tickets from a
convenience store.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
So he goes in, he demands the scratchers. He leaves.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Now, two things he did were wrong. The first one
is he didn't know how to play scratcher tickets the
pro way, which you don't scratch any of them. You
just find your local grocery store or something.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
You scan them.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
That way, you don't have to do anything other than
scan to see if you won. He didn't do that part.
He actually played all seven thousand dollars of these tickets.
Then he tried to bring the winning tickets back to
the same convenience store. Or that he stole them from.
That's uniquely Florida. That's like, hey, bygones, be bygones. Today's
a new day. What I did yesterday doesn't count anymore.

(03:10):
I'm here to take my sweet winnings from the stuff
I stole from you the other day. That gets you arrested,
That's usually not a good move. Another Florida man that
made the news was naked and chasing Walmart workers inside
a Walmart and in the parking lot of a Walmart.
He was then found later in the wooded area near
the Walmart, agitated and paranoid. Every part of that story

(03:34):
one hundred percent checks out in the world of Florida.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
First thing.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
First, you show up at a Walmart and there's a
naked guy, you probably think to yourself, Man, there's a
lot of other Walmarts that I can go to. I
don't know why I'm staying here, But if you're the employees,
you're stuck dealing with it, calling the authorities. The naked
dude is harassing people. I don't know if any of
it was sexual in nature, or if the naked thing
is just an accident. That's always a confusion of mine.

(03:58):
I always want to ask the criminal and it's probably
not the right way to go about it, but I
can't help it when nudity got into the equation for them,
like the person who's arrested on the side of the
road traffic ticket and then all of a sudden, they're naked.
Like when did they decide that they were taking their
clothes off? Was it an in the moment thing? I
was this a premeditated nakedness that came about from, like,

(04:19):
you know, planning. If I ever get pulled over, I
know it will make the situation go away. I'll just
get naked. But that feels like a byproduct and a
question because I don't think in my own life I
will ever be, you know, naked accidentally. I'm pretty sure
I won't ever be naked accidentally, And in a situation
like this where like when you're arrested, you'd kind of

(04:40):
want them to ignore it and like, en so you're naked,
You're like, why does that matter? Why can't I be
naked all the time? That's how these people seem to
behave and that is a problem. And then finally, one
last Florida man story, A Florida guy stole a woman's purse.
He found out that she had a one month old
kitten inside the purse instead of any valuable stuff, which
is just a weird thing to do.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's not a purse puppy.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Dogs are better than cats, by the way, even if
this kitten was probably adorable at one month, but you
open up the purse, you've stolen the thing, and then
you wind up you have a brand new pet.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's a unique way for.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Say, adoption centers to try to get more of their
pets adopted. Just put them in purses and leave them
out on the side of the road and see if
people say that doesn't sound right, don't do that. Don't
write your hate letters to me, please, Peter, don't say
anything to us.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm kidding. But anyway, maybe it's a nice adoption thing.
Put the puppy in the.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Purse, hold the purse out and be like, look, you
get a dog and a person, and maybe that way
we get more pets adopted.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's fine with me.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
And apparently a thing in Florida. All right, Well, sure,
quick break a lot more Greg Collin' stilling in.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
On the Dana Show as we move our partners.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
That will bring you the program it'skel Tech, the KF
seven Gen two shotgun with kel Tech. This is one
of the many shotguns that they have over at kel
Tech and the KF seven is built for compact spaces
and maneuverability. It's a good idea for home to fence
or out back or anywhere in between. And the design

(06:06):
with the KS seven there's some upgrades. You have five
slot Picatinny style accessory reels, you can add grips, lights, whatever,
keep it flush. It's a smoother pump action for faster,
cleaner cycling, Ultra light weighted, just under seven pounds unloaded,
compact bullpup design seven plus one capacity, and you can
get the Defender package and there's a bunch of stuff
that comes with that, including a vortex, you got extended

(06:27):
butt pad, all kinds of stuff. MSRP is only six
thirty nine so it's completely affordable and accessibles from Celtech
K E L T E C Weapons dot com. Made
in Florida. Celtech Weapons dot Com. It's the KS seven
Gen two. Tell them Dana sends you.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in Thrilled to be with you. D Lash Dana
lash radio and x on Twitter. Great ways to stay
connected to her and everything's going on in the world
of Dana, and she will be back on Monday.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Let's do this a few thanks.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
So.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
First speaker Mike Johnson was furious that it's very likely
that Democrats are trying to hold out in any sort
of government shutdown until No King's Day, which is a
ANTIFA protest day October eighteenth, in which a rally is
supposed to happen in New York City or excuse me,
in Washington, d C. As well as New York City

(07:20):
and other places where they protest no Kings, which we
don't have. By the way, we successfully already have no Kings.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
You can all just go home. It's totally fine.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
But here's Mike Johnson saying that the belief is that
Democrats are just waiting to keep the government shut down
until that day because they like the optics of the
government being shut down during No King's Day, Which is
part of the reason that so many people hate politicians
and hate the political system is this is easily believable
as a thing that Democrats could be doing just because

(07:50):
they want to say out loud, even though it's their
fault that it's horrible that Trump is doing whatever they
blame Trump for doing.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
Here we go a very patient guy, but I have
had it with these people. They're playing games with real
people's lives. The theory we have right now, they have
a Hate America rally that's scheduled for October eighteenth on
the National Mall. It's all the pro Hamas wing and
the Antifa people. They're all coming out. Some of the
House Democrats are selling T shirts for the event, and

(08:17):
it's being told to us that they won't be able
to reopen the government until after that rally because they
can't face their rabid base. I mean, this is serious business,
hurting real people. Yeah, and I just I'm beyond words.
I can't believe they're actually doing this.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
So two things I want to say in reaction to this. First,
and I'm owning this, and you don't care. I don't
know why I'm even holding my feet to the fire,
because no one who listens to shows like this where
I'm just the filling guy, even remembers probably what I say.
But when Republicans threatened to shut the government down, my
reaction is often go ahead.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
It's not going to impact my life all that much.
It'll reopen in a certain amount of weeks after it
shuts down. The only thing I ever care about is
militi harry men and women getting a paycheck still, which
doesn't happen, even if the Left will claim it does.
You actually have to pass certain laws to make sure
that the military individuals keep getting paid. It's ridiculous that

(09:13):
the politicians get paid if they shut the government down.
They don't actually get their check stopped. But the military
individuals who are serving our country due that's insane. That's
the only thing I ever really care about, other than
that shut the government down. Who cares, in all honesty
use it as a catalyst to fire a bunch of
people we don't need and clean up the bureaucracy that
is our federal.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Government, and I'd be thrilled.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
So when that is the stance, if it's Republicans in charge,
I keep the same stance when Democrats are in charge.
Even as Mike Johnson says that people are actually being
hurt because how much they care about those people seems
to ebb and flow with what side of the aisle
they're on. But as I say that there are aspects
to this that I do think are interesting because of
what you're selling more so than what you're doing. And

(09:57):
what I mean by that is Democrats often sell that
they're the party that cares more. I'm probably going to
be a broken record about this today because so many
stories I feel like they lean into this narrative. Democrats
tell you they're the good guys. They embolden their supporters
to feel as though that they're good people, and the
people that they disagree with vehemently and maybe violently on

(10:19):
the right are actually bad, horrible people. They're sexists and
racists and you know everything else is, and they're they're
the worst kind of individuals that exist in the bucket
of deplorables, a version of a thing, and so they
empower their side of the eyle to feel this way.
And then when they play these political games and hurt
the lives of people that they claim they care about,
that hypocrisy does matter. Even if I don't say that

(10:41):
to me, I'm as worried about the government being turned
on tomorrow when it's turned off today. And that came
out weird. I think I probably should have phrased that differently.
I've been on the last Like I, it doesn't really
impact my life. It probably won't impact your life that
much unless you work for them directly.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I've been none the least.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Like I think that that is interesting that what they're
selling becomes so obviously untrue.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Our partners that bring you the program, the folks that
All Family Pharmacy, love the folks at All Family Pharmacy.
I actually I had to use them again. So my
son who is in college, ended up getting strep throat
and he was able to get medication in that there,
but I wanted to be able to get him something
that helps his throat.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
Right.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
You can get I think it's like I can't pronounce
it properly. It's like benzonatate or whatever. You know what
it is, Kane.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
You can.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
This is one of the things you can get at
All Family Pharmacy. You go in, you fill out, you
pick what you need, you answer some questions, the doctor
reviews your request issues of prescription, and your medicines are
sent in as fast as like two to four days

And they have literally everything in AG plus they have ivermectin.

(11:49):
They've got all of the anti biotics that you need.
These are thromias and the amoxacillin stuff. I can't pronounce
a lot of things. I can't pronounce your everyday medications,
emergency kits, everything, leadies. You can get latise for your
eyelashes so you don't have to worry about doing the
tube in mascara or getting them extensions. You get you
some latise at All Family Pharmacy. I mean literally everything.

(12:11):
Here's the other part that I love. Everything is made

where you are getting all the precursors for this stuff
and the final product all USA made. You can stock

Dana ten as my code because that's how you get
ten percent off All Familypharmacy dot Com slash Dana code

(12:33):
Dana ten for ten percent off.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Let's do a quick five on the Dana Show Dlash
Dana Lash Radio on x on Twitter. A great ways
to stay connected to her. My name is Craig Collins Radio,
Craigzy if you want to see me be sad about
the Yankees being terrible this year, although now I won't
tweet about them for several months.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
All right.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Amazon's MGM will release the Malania Trump documentary. This was
before the big news that she ushered in a deal
with Vladimir Putin that will reunite children that are displaced
in Ukraine because of the war there.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Midocumentary had nothing to do with that.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
It was a lead up to Trump actually being inaugurated
as the president of the United States after he was
almost assassinated and killed. And I don't know why I
said end killed. Assassinated means killed but turned his head
and miraculously survived. A unique story about a woman who
is married to someone who miraculously is alive today and

(13:34):
yet a lot of people will hate the fact that
it exists. MGM will be putting that out in January.
I think for a couple of days in theaters at least.
I will see how successful it is. We'll see how
much people talk about it. But interesting, nonetheless, and of
course crapped on by mainstream media. Amel Gibson's passion of
the Christ has a sequel that's coming out. I am
a Catholic, I am a Christian, of course, I think

(13:56):
it's weird that the Passion of the Christ as a sequel,
even if it's called the as Erection of the Christ,
and that story is interesting. It's a good story to
tell in a movie theater somewhere. I just not This
has been a long sitting gestating potential, a movie that
eventually will actually happen. It's going to have an all
new cast. They're re casting all the roles. I guess

(14:18):
Jim Caviezel didn't want to play Jesus again, or I
don't know what happened there.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
But nonetheless, just odd. Hollywood makes a lot of sequels.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
The Passion of the Christ is one of those movies
that you didn't necessarily think would have a sequel coming
out about it. I'm saying this as respectfully as I can,
again because I'm a Catholic.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm not making fun of it. I just think it's odd.
As a news story. All right, other things out there.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Area fifty one crash mystery deepens as the FBI has
joined investigations into tampering into the site.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
For anything.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
You say that isn't happening that you don't want or
that you don't like in the world of the FBI,
like we didn't get enough information here or there. More
alien stuff I'm always fine with. I don't think it's
a distraction. People often say that area fifty one and
alien stuff comes out when they want to distract you
and push you away from some other story that you
might pay attention to that is more valuable or more

(15:11):
pressing in our society today.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
I can do both. I think that you can do both.
I think we can all do both.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I think when it comes to aliens and aliens specifically,
I can pay attention to what the right hand is
doing while also paying attention to what the left hand
is doing. That is my promise to you, and that
is my promise to anyone out there, that we can
all do this together. And then finally, one last quick story.
Political bumper stickers are making people angrier in traffic instances.

(15:39):
I guess road rage is going off the charts. If
someone does something stupid in a vehicle and they have
a giant Harris Walls bumper sticker, the odds.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Of you getting mad go up.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
And the same is true for any of those idiots
who see the Trump sticker on the back of your car,
I just find that funny. I don't think that's as
bad of a thing as people say it is. If
your car is plastered with political bumper stickers, I think
you kind of understand that you might be making some
people mad every single day, all the time, and you
don't seem to care. So if someone gets into a

(16:11):
fit of additional road rage because you cut them off
like a moron and you have a ton of stickers
all over the back of your car, I think that's
kind of a non you thing, more so on them thing.
Freedom of speech and everything, but you're asking for trouble.
I believe in that situation, so I'm not surprised it happens.
All right, quick break a lot more. Craig Collins filling
in on the Dana Show. This is the Dana Show.

(16:33):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Thrilled to be with you.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
A whole lot of stuff out there to talk about.
D Dana Lash Radio on x on Twitter, a great
ways to stay connected. This is a democratic politician doing
terrible in a debate, which we've seen time and again,
but this is uniquely awesome, especially considering one of the
people she's trying to stand with seems to be a
person who's unapologetically totally fine with political violence. But let's

(16:57):
play some audio and then we'll break this down a
little bit more. But once again democratic politicians swinging a
miss and the world of back and forth debate, and
even a moderator who was being called like a far
right individual who definitely was not that, going back and
forth with these politicians, just asking very basic, simple questions
that the left leaning politician had no ability to answer.

Speaker 7 (17:21):
Thank you, Ms Vaan Berger. I just I didn't hear
an answer there on the endorsement issue, so I wanted
to just make sure will you continue to endorse Jay
Jones to be the next Attorney General of Virginia? And
were you aware of these text messages before they released?
You have thirty seconds.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
In fact, it appears that it was those who released
the text messages and held them for years, so the
public was unaware who had knowledge of these text messages,
to these text messages the day that they came out, And.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Oh look, I got to tell you something, and I
gotta be as honest as possible as I can in
this and shoot the messenger if you want to. I'm
a white guy about to be forty at the end
of this month. Literally on Halloween, I turned forty years old.
This white female politician, span Berger is running against a
black female politician. The black female is the Republican, the

(18:17):
white female is the Democrat. I might surprise some people
with how that goes, but I love the attitude that
comes out of the opponent as she's saying, when did
you know?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
And what did you do?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I want to play that part again because it's so good,
and it's the kind of thing that you might attribute to,
you know, a certain race, a certain attitude, a certain
way of speaking, any of that stuff. The left would
also celebrate if it was someone on their side of
the aisle interjecting like this in this way.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Of course, they said that this politician was rude.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
How dare she try to say and do things the
way that if it's a Democrat who is of the
same you know, racial or or I guess the same sex,
they might celebrate the version of I don't understand what's
going on here. They used to call Kamala Harris mam La,
and they used to pretend as though her confusion with
Donald Trump and her willingness to show it was a

(19:14):
great expression of who she is and something to be celebrated.
Wonder why it doesn't happen here.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
In fact, it appears that it was those who released
the text messages and held them for years, so the
public was unaware who had knowledge of these text messages.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
For many of us, you do.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
These text messages the day that they came out, and
I denounced them as soon as I learned of Importantly,
at this point, as we move forward, the voters now
have this information, information that was withheld for them. You're running,
presumably for plit affairs reasons, but the voters.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Now have And by the way, the moderator is also
a black woman, so she's pushing back on when some
earl stayers and the things that she is saying. I
don't know if I guess the race card won't be
played by anybody because of the makeup of the individuals
on the stage. But I just I loved this, and
I think this is the kind of thing that if
it were, you know, reversed parties the way we're expected.

(20:17):
And it's a black female democrat objecting to a white
Republican woman or man in this way, I think that
most media would be so thrilled with how this went down.
They are not thrilled and how this went down because
of how ridiculous it is. But the answer, by the way,
is a trophy.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
It is up to voters to make an individual choice
based on this information.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Miss Memory, I understand what you're saying about the voters,
But for youself, do you still continue to endorse Jay Jones?

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, we asked you about you. We want you to
give us an opinion.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
We don't want you to explain how the political system
works in its most basic sense, as if that's an
answer to this question. Are you still throwing your support
behind someone who seems to be very happy with and
even celebrating political violence just weeks after Charlie kirk Is
murdered fifteen seconds.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yes, we are all running our individual races. I believe
my opponent has said that about for lieutenant governor.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
Nominee affairs, and it's up theirs.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Every person to make their own decision.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
What I am running my race to serve your decision.
What do you think?

Speaker 5 (21:22):
And that is what I intend to do.

Speaker 7 (21:25):
Thank you, missus van Berger. We just want to clarify.
You know, what you're saying is that, as of now,
you still endorse Jay Jones as attorney general.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
I'm saying, as of now, it's up to every voter
to make their own individual decision. I am running for governor.
I am accountable for the words that I say.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I love it so much. We just want to we
want one moment.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
You know, it would be funny, It would be funny
to force these politicians to have to behave like this
with an obvious question. And I don't mean one about politics.
I mean, like, make a video where politicians are standing
in line at an ice cream store and one after
another being asked what flavor of ice cream they want,
and they have to answer that question the same way
they answer their political questions. So Abigail Spanberger would be saying, look,

(22:10):
it's up to everyone else inside this ice cream shop
what ice cream flavor they want, what they're going to
buy when it's their turn to purchase. And then someone
would look at this insane human and be like, yeah,
but what do you want? What flavor do you want?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
You know, it's not my choice, it's everybody else's choice.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
It's just insane and The only way that they get
away with this sort of stuff is because in politics
these rules have applied forever. But you should you should
apply whatever the version of back and forth question is
to something that doesn't matter. Like pretend it's your wife
asking you if you mowed the lawn, which is something
that happens to me on occasion, if the lawn has

(22:49):
not been mowed, and that is definitely one of my
jobs and I'll never let her do it. As a man,
I feel uniquely horrible if I look outside and see
the misses mowing the lawn. I think that Nate Bargetzi
makes a joke about that, and I don't know why
that is, but it's been my job since I was
a little kid.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
My mom made me lawnmow boy, and I've been lawnmow
boy ever since.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
That also felt weird to say in those terms, but nonetheless,
like if that happened and I had the unfortunate situation
of having to deal with an Abigail Spanberger in that situation,
the answer to is the lawn mode would be like, well,
other lawns in the area have been mowed based on
the decision making of the people inside those homes. And
if they did or didn't mow the lawn, that was

(23:29):
their decision. Yeah, but it's your lawn mode. You know what,
I'm going to plead the fifth year. Thanks for tuning
