Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Florida woman was arrested for a bomb threat to the
University of Central Florida. She spammed a professor with texts
and selfies saying I'm gonna blow you up. Pretty sure
that that's the immediately, how you're gonna go straight to jail?
Just straight to jail. She landed her in jail. Kristin Galley,
twenty nine faces a charge of false reporting. It was

(00:37):
a drunken threat that landed her in jail, according to
the arrest Affi David released this week. They said that
the incident, which happened in May, but the arrest Affidavid
was only just released today, called the front desk at
University of Central Florida student Care Services and said that
she was going to blow them all up. They identified
her apparently she was a student there, and she said

(00:58):
she was just angry and made a mistake. I was
drunk and I thought it would be funny. They didn't,
So now she's uh oh. She faces charges at a
false reporting of a bombing against a state owned property.
And unlawful use of a two way communication device. So
her hearing is scheduled for in a few days. Actually,
so you can't do that. They're not gonna go, oh,
you were drunk. That's okay, that's all right, you get

(01:19):
a pass. Doesn't work that way. It's that's Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
It's not gonna they're not gonna do that. This is wild.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
A Florida man's cross necklace saves him from a stray bullet.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
New York Post. This is crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
A Florida man, twenty year old is crediting his crediting
faith Aiden Perry. He was at his friend's house when
I don't know how this happens. He's accidentally shot by
a forty caliber I don't even know how. He was
rushed to rush to the hospital, taken to the operating room.
He survived. He was wearing a gold necklace with a
cross pendant, and medics say that they believe it split

(01:56):
the bullet, saving his organs from damage. It went through
his chest, exited near his armpit re entered through his
arm and so he has a broken bone from it.
But they said that he was spared the worst because
that thing split it and they saved the necklace. I
mean that it was struck and man, I hope he
gets a new necklace he's going to need. But how

(02:17):
do a thought in the world? Were they like the
guy who apparently allegedly shot him, it was unintentional. He
was arrested in Sumter County. It sounds like someone was
not using responsible carrying there. Yeah, exactly, a Florida Oh,
it was a little bad. A Florida man abandoned a
one hundred and eleven geckos in a storage unit and

(02:37):
they're getting them for animal cruelty. I think he ought
to be abandoned in a storage unit? Did I say
that out loud?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I did.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
They said it's a horrible neglect case. Florida Fision Wildlife
got involved. He stopped paying for the storage unit, and
that's how they discovered it. There were one hundred and
eleven fat tailed geckos. They were all in individual containers.
Forty one of them were already gone. Oh gosh, it's horrible,
gelittle remains. It's just horrible. They said they had no
food or water at all whatsoever, and no and they'd

(03:05):
been there like for two months. No one checked on
them for two months. So they found the guy. He
is prohibited from possessing or having contact with animals, and
he had to forfeit the remaining geckos in his care.
Oh my gosh, just stop, just stop being worthless humans.
Just just don't be mean. I mean, they're geckos, I
mean they're you know. Would I have them as a pet?
I know, because I can't like pet them and hug them,

(03:27):
you know, But that doesn't mean you put them in
a tubberware thing in a storage shed for two months
and don't touch them.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Let's see this. I got a couple of others here too.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
The Uh let's see. Do I want to get the
school runs already?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Let's do this one.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
The school run is already starting off real fun. A
woman is accused of bumping a mother with her car
and threatening to shoot her outside of a Miami Dade
elementary school Erica Cruz, she was dropping off her kid.
She exchanged words with another woman who was walking her
disabled son to school. The victim told officers that the
vehicle approached her and her son. The driver began honking.

(04:04):
She began screaming, hurry the blink up from her vehicle.
They exchanged words and then Cruz bumped the victim's left
side of the body with her car, and she got
out of her vehicle, opened her purse and told the
victims save one more word and I will shoot you
in the face. Oh boy, the victim was afraid, obviously,
so Cruz was arrested on a number of different charges.
She's gonna have felonies on her record and we'll be
a rid of possessor.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I honestly, stay, we're from the schools. Crazy lady.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Like SAMs through the outer glass. So are the days
of the United States.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Gon Take it to the voters, Take it to the streets.
Take it to the people to.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Fight a fairness and not allow the people who want
to cheap democracy win.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
It is time to fight fire.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
With fire, and that's what this moment is requiring of
all of us.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Kana and I are debating how drunk she is.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I say, point two one, Where did the.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
That accent come from? It's an alcoholic accent. It's funny,
you should ask. Yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
I think her influence is gone. I don't think anybody
pays attention to anything she says anymore. Her influence is
just gone. Hers and I would say several others, but
she's there's she's she can't run for anything again. She's
not gonna be able to run for anything again. No
one's going to vote for her, not even California. They're
not going to vote for her. I'm not going to
vote for her.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
California not gonna happen. Welcome back to the program.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
The Uh, yeah, it's I guess she's I don't fight
fire with fire. Well, They've already done that. I mean,
they weren't fighting fire, they just started one. They have
set buildings on fire, the left, and they've set churches
on fire. And I mean they've already been fighting with fire.
The fire wasn't done to them again, they set it.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
They're arsonists BLM and stands for burn.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, sEH. I don't think that that's Where else do
they go? Where else do the Where does the left go?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
After so many years of outright you know, violence in
the streets and threatening I mean threatening Supreme Court justices,
and I mean for crying out loud. Three times they've
tried to take Trump off the board. I mean he
was shot in the head for crying out loud. And

(07:27):
oh it was his ears, says the left. Oh for
crying out loud. I'm not even gonna deal with you people.
He was shot in the head.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I don't think that encouraging them to embrace violence or
to use violence is a really good thing right now
for everybody. Let's just not Let's maybe come up with
some policy and outline a mission to get the country
back on track fiscally, et cetera. What you would do better,

(07:56):
and maybe roll with that and then try to persuade
people that way. But this idea that that when they're
not in power, you are being robbed of something, that
is always their pitch. Their pitch is never were we're
going to reduce taxes, and we're going to onshore more jobs,
and we're going to make manufacturing great again, domestic manufacturing.

(08:17):
We're going to do all of these things. They never
outline anything like that. It's always your being robbed racism
or sexism.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
That's their pitch. Every time. It's an old pitch. I'm
tired of hearing it. That's like another Star Wars movie.
My gosh, how many are there now? I'm so tired
of it all. I'm tired of that pitch. That's all
they've been pitching people for this entire time. Now that
to me, it sounds like a call to violence. When
I hear her say that, I mean the left as
the Lorraine reminded and slack. She's like, well, you know,

(08:45):
that sounds like a call of violence. It does because
it is they're they're they're they but they they'll make
this call. But then they'll back away and say, well,
it's just words. But if it's anyone else, I can
I cannot tell you the number of times the left
and some of the right cloud chasers have lost their
mind at me because they've said that my words were
quote unquote violent, which they're not. They're just illustrative. That's

(09:07):
all so silly. It's our friends over. It's the folks
over at Celtech, the PR fifty seven.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
It is.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
They're late at one of their newest pistol chambered in
five to seven. It's a rotary barrel pistol. They've really
figured out how to do the features to make it
lighter than the other five sevens on the market, easier concealability,
and it's a rotary barrel forty percent lighter than the
other five sevens. Unique top loading design replaces the traditional
magazines with stripper clips. You get a slimmer carry profile,

(09:38):
twenty plus one capacity, low recoil for ease of use,
easy field strip as well, and it uses like I
think it's interesting how it uses the clips instead of
the magazine, so the left can actually say clips and
be right for once. MSRP is only three ninety nine.
It's the PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in
five to seven from kel Tech, based in Florida, Made

(10:01):
in America. Learn more at celtech weapons dot com. That's
k E l T e C Weapons dot com. Tell
them Dana sent you, and.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now all of the news you would probably miss. It's
time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
All right, let's see here we've got of course it's
not there.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Of course I'm not loading. Oh well.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Also we have updates about the hurricane too, which Steve
reminded us of since he's gonna be yeading himself into
the eye of it coming up. Let's see here. Lone
Star lock Up. So I'm not against this. I like
the name of it, although it sounds almost like like
a sketchy dive bar in a way, doesn't it. Welcome
to the Lone Star Lockup. Go get drunk, rod oar

(10:43):
bull and spew everywhere. The Trump administration opens the largest
immigration detention center in the United States in Fort Bliss, Texas.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Lone Star lockou get our alligators?

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Do we get alligators?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
That's it? Wait, holpe full stop here. That's a great question.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
What do we have in I mean, we've got some bugs,
some scorpions, We got some weirdo moth be things.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Armadilla's dangerous.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
They have leprosy.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
By the way, we had an armadillo hole in our
yard and thirty percent of my brain was like free
pet and then the other was like leprosy.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
So it didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
So anyway, they say it's the detention center, is going
to help ease over crowding at other facilities and serve
as a hub. I hope it doesn't descend into like
borderlands chaos, although it sounds like there's a risk there,
but hopefully it won't.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I think our border patrol will do it.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Darn good job, Hurricane Aaron Steve is going to yat
himself right into the eye of this thing, not even kidding.
It's going to all the places where I like to go.
I'm really sad about this one is showing you it's
right over everywhere I.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Like to go. Just just so rude. It's like going.
It's just on a direct path to hit every place
I like to go. Gosh, dang it.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
So it's going to feel a dangerous surf postal flood
risk from the Carolinas to New England. Just get ready
for your flight delays. Everybody, just go ahead, just resign
yourself to that fact. Superman actor Terrence Stamp has passed
away at eighty seven.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
This guy, he was in a lot of stuff. He
was Zod.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
He was Zod in the Superman films. He's been in
all kinds of stuff. He was a British actor. He's
been in like a million things. But he's passed away.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
So I guess, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Think it's going to be part of the rule of three.
There you go, it's going to be part of the
rule of three. Future humans will be hairless and lose
four other body parts thanks to human modern lifestyles. That says,
I don't like any of those. So experts say changes
in diet, technology, and environment could drive these drastic evolutionary

(12:50):
shifts over the last time. Ye, but what do we
lose in Okay, so we'll be hairless.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
That's kind of gross. They said it's a standard grooming practice.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Was this the vaccine?

Speaker 1 (12:59):
The pro no and then also Harris, it's becoming finer
and sparser, our wisdom teeth are going to go away.
Makes sense, everyone's dump. I'm kidding tailbone. I don't even
know why we need it. Appendix. It's a little annoying
thing that's all going to go with ear muscles. Out
of all the things to lose, like just randomly ear muscles,
we have a lot more on the way stick with us.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
I think that's because Taylor's swift produces great art, but
also because she models something at every stage of her career.
She's shown a certain way of being that resonated with
my kids and also felt right to me as a parent,
and she's still doing that as a grown up. Like
a lot of you, I struggle with how to stand

(13:42):
up to bullies without letting their meanness infect me and
change me. You may have seen that the governor of
California has been generating a lot of attention lately by
posting on social media in a satirical way where he
mocks Donald Trump and his all caps megalomania and his absurdity.
And I find it very funny, hilarious even sometimes, but

(14:05):
I gotta be honest, it also leaves me with a
strange feeling at times, because I don't want us to
become like Trump, and.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Is keep your strange feelings to yourself. Asking for several
million friends. It's James Comy, who I don't I know
he ran the FBI, and I don't know about you,
but I don't know, like I I just I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
It is weird. It's weird. It's weird that a grown man.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
First off, that he's talking about Taylor Swift, but that
a grown man is this petty.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Okay, leave that to us women, all right, that's our thing.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
We do that, not you, all right, especially somebody who
runs the FBI.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I don't want to see that. That's just it.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
It doesn't do anything to help increase the trust in
our agencies, our departments when we see former heads of
them act in such a way.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
I mean. And it's not like his kids are a
little bitty either. His kids are like old. So what
are you talking about? I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Like he's old enough to be my dad. What are
you talking about? You don't have like a five ten
year old at home?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (15:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
It's weird, y'all. It's weird, all right. Uh, I'm making
sure that. Oh my hang on, So Wick jail broke
and he's trying to come in the studio. I had
a bribe in with a rough greens chew. He hates
Kane hates him, and he's he's waiting patiently.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's like he's saying something to me intensely.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
He's staring at us through the crack door because he's yeah, there,
he goes, hang on, dude, hang on, my dude, all right,
today's stupidity.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
He can't throw it at us.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Cut forward, John Brand and he thinks Putin put a
chip in the limo when he was riding with Trump
the other day listening to this.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
So I think you could see on Putin's face he
felt very, very comfortable, and the fact that he was
given a ride then in the presential limousine the beast.
I certainly hope the Secret Service has swept that vehicle
very well in terms of any type of she's blackerendship.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
But when you were in the in office, when you
were doing things for the government, by the way, he's
probably still doing that, uh huh.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
And that does it for us today. You're gonna go
handle a wig before he steals a car.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
I don't know. God, love you guys. We'll be back
with you tomorrow.
