Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Celtech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man. So first up, if
this is not a way to dosteak in lobster, well bug me,
you know, but steak, youdon't do steak like this. A Florida
(00:22):
man was arrested after a food fightat a steak in lobster house, apparently
of eighteen year old Florida Man ofDelray Beach. Tampa Free Press reports that
the individual Monroe County Sheriff's office gotinvolved. He was at the Florida Key
Steak and Lobster House on Saturday,and apparently the entire group got in trouble.
They were throwing bread and butter,newly painted walls and ceilings, cousing
(00:44):
five hundred dollars in damages, andthey had a booking in jail on a
misty meter. Who does that?Like, what kind of trash person?
Or you to do this? Goodheavens, that's just that's inexcusable that you
don't do to steak or good butterand bread? The mare with you?
If Florida man was driving one hundredand eight miles per hour nine ninety five
(01:06):
because, as he told police inBreverd County, Florida, he was in
a hurry to see his lady.A twenty seven year old Florida man was
arrested. He alex or Sorry alexaxel Serbravilla of North Lauderdale. He was
arrested on charges of reckless driving.A caller said a red Toyota Camery was
weaving through traffic and driving in theemergency lane. They found him. They
(01:30):
pulled him over and he said hehad to get to his girlfriend in North
Carolina. He was in a hurryto see her. And that wasn't a
good excuse for the cops, sothey took him into custody, and he
instead of going to North Carolina tosee his lady, he went to Breverd
County jail, where I'm sure someonewould have been eager to make a girlfriend
of him. Does that mean justsaying no, he probably was in there.
(01:53):
They didn't say if he bonded outor anything. I you know,
just said, you know, let'ssee here. This Florida man broke into
a home because he thought his dogwas barking inside. Port Orange, Florida.
Man was taken to jail multiple charges. He broke into a Florida home.
What he said it was his dogbarking in there. Jan Ma Reina,
(02:15):
thirty two, was arrested by PortOrange police on charges of burglar even
occupied dwelling, providing a false name, and he had apparently an open warrant
for reckless driving too. So likefour in the morning, homeowners called police
and they said, there's a guywho's trying to steal our dog. I
would have gone john Wick on him. He would not been photographs sitting in
jail. He'd have been in abag. The homeowners told police that the
(02:38):
man claimed that he walked from SouthDaytona looking for his stolen black pit bull
and then he heard the homeowner's yellowlab barking inside the house, and so
he went through their backyard and thenbroke in. The yellow Lab's name is
Benny, and he was the suspectwas yelling at the homeowners, why would
you take my dog? Why wouldyou do that? And then there was
(03:00):
a black lab and a yellow lab, and then the helmewner said he took
the yellow when he took the wrongone, and I told him this was
my dog. And so anyway,he had he was arrested. The dogs
are okay. I still work withJohn Wigby. I'm not gonna like Celtech
Sub two K. We've talked aboutthem for weeks and you guys are very
familiar with the sub two K.It's been shipping for a while now and
it's a nine milimeter carbine. Itfolds in half. It's I mean,
(03:23):
when space is premium, this issomething that you definitely can take with you
and not have to worry about it. And the upgrades that they've made to
the Gen three version, so youcan still obviously fold your carbine in half,
and you don't have to take offyour favorite optics anymore to do so,
you don't have to detach them.Simple twist and fold motion of that
patent pending rotating four in in eitherdirection folds it in half and it also
(03:45):
deploys it just as fast. Youalso have an upgraded aluminum trigger for a
lightened five pound pool, upgraded action. There's a redesigned operating handle. You
got lightened action for easy racking andpidexterous bolt hold open all providing improved manipulation.
And you also have a new chamberindicator made in America, Florida based
familand and operated. That is Celtechvery innovative indeed, and to learn more
(04:08):
about the sub two K Gen three, visit cal Tech weapons dot com.
That's K E L T e CWeapons dot com. Tell them Dana sent
you now Switching gears to the media, I have been this has been one
(04:29):
of the interesting media stories sometime.The CEO of n PR. First off,
let me let me start with this. It happened with this. Let
me pull this up, this editorialthat was published Yuri Berliner. He published
this over at the Free Press,right, and he was discussing how,
(04:57):
yes, there is bias at inI mean it was literally titled quote,
I've been at NPR for twenty fiveyears. Here's how we lost America's trust.
And he says that, you know, he fits the mold for in
PR et cetera, as he saysit's always had a liberal bent. He
says, we were nerdy, butnot knee jerk activists or scolding. He
(05:19):
goes, but it's changed in recentyears, and he says that it hasn't
always been this particularly bad. Andhe went through some of their hits,
you know, Russia Gate, theMuller stuff, all of this, and
you know, he laid out avery good case of their ideology as actually
tanked their credibility. And he talksabout how MPR, I don't think that
(05:40):
the government should be at all fundingany kind of media entity, but he
says that MPR lost the public's trust. Well, they suspended him, their
senior editor. They suspended him.It meant Ein Berliner. So he's been
suspended because he was honest about whatwas going on over at NPR. And
(06:02):
then NPR decided to write a storyabout how they suspended him. He publicly
argued a week ago that the networkhad lost America's trust by approaching news stories
with a rigidly progressive mindset, whichwas true he did. So. Then
everyone started looking at the CEO ofNPR and the and so they wrote this
(06:24):
piece kind of as like halfway defensefor her name's Katherine Maher. And I
find it fascinating because the same leftand NPR has done this too, that
always looks at the tweets and socialmedia activity of everybody else. They decided
to act defended because people were lookingat Catherine Maher's social media activity. Some
(06:45):
of the tweets guys that she hasposted and you can imagine it makes perfect
sense. Now are some of thedumbest things I've ever read in my life.
I mean, I she constantly tweetsabout DEEI, stuff about race.
She had said like this, Shetweeted this quote, Airline business class demographics
(07:14):
are such a pet pave of mine. In the lounge and on the plane,
usually over eighty percent mail usually wide. Well, then bitch went on,
you buy a ticket, just buythe ticket, change it up.
You're mad because they're I mean,the argument could be made that that demo,
then if that's what you perceive itto be, are essentially subsidizing the
(07:39):
lower cost of your ticket because they'repaying a more inflative price for their tickets,
if you really wanted to do that. I mean, this is the
kind of stuff that she writes about. It must be nice that having that
to be your only first world problem. And that's not even a problem,
that's just that's stupid. It's usuallymail, usually for a crin a loud
But she had all kinds. Imean, the tweets that she has that
(08:03):
she has put out there is Imean, and she's the CEO of a
taxpayer funded entity. I want toknow why my tax dollars that I had
forcibly taken from me under penalty ofthreat by the government. And you would
die if you knew how much Ipaid in tax. Oh, you guys
would just die. Why the hellam I paying this Karen's salary? Why
(08:26):
am I paying this broad salary?I mean, she's proof that you can
go and get a degree and beuneducated. She sounds like a valley girl.
She sounds like a bimbo. Hertweets read like a bimbo, the
endless thought stream of some vapid,empty headed just bimbo. I don't know
(08:48):
how else to put it. It'sembarrassing as a woman to read her tweets
because they're embarrassing, Like who writesthis kind of stuff? She goes,
who was it that de Clarida fattusas a genetically as genetically him? And
from the point of conception, whatthis is? This? No, I'm
(09:09):
literally reading it verbatim. This isthe stuff that she sposed to be a
bird a dolphin apparently, you know, you don't know until it comes out
what it's going to be. It'slike a pinata, right, you don't
know. Why is it the fartherleft you go, the more mentally ill
you become. I don't understand,is there's a relationship there. Yeah,
(09:30):
that's what I'm saying. Is itnot obvious to everybody? But now I
mean she, I mean her tweetsare Twitchy has a round up of them.
And then The New York Times gotmad because people were pointing out her
insane tweets. I mean they're pretty, they're actually quite ridiculous, and they're
(09:56):
trying to make the story about,oh my gosh, these people are picking
on this CEO of NPR. Youguys picked on your senior editor. You
guys picked on him because he hada thoughtful, well reasoned, completely not
confrontational, fact based piece highlighting thefar left bias that dominates in PR,
(10:22):
and NPR suspended him without pay.But apparently the New York Times doesn't think
that's picking on someone, or allof the other media out there, they
don't think that's picking on someone.But if you cite the NPR CEO trying
to ask, well, who wasit that decided that fetuses, you know
(10:46):
that they were that they were humanlike tweeting stuff like this, I just
read you one and and being madover who sits in business class and getting
mad over pronouns and all of thisstuff. I mean, I can't pick
just like one to share. Likethis is when she said, she goes,
(11:07):
quote, I missed it. Whois it that declareda fatus was genetically
him? And from the point ofconception, Oh my gosh, yeah,
literally like science. And then shegoes, uh, white man, we
really are pretty much the problem thesedays. This is the stuff she tweets,
and then the New York Times andother media entities are shocked that people
(11:28):
are picking up on this stuff.These are things that she tweeted really within
the last year, and she willinglyposted publicly on a social media platform.
You guys, don't get to makeher the victim when you actually victimized your
senior editor because he was just simplyhe was honest. Ikbin I and Berlin
(11:48):
are indeed and now all of thenews you would probably miss. It's time
for Dana's quick five. So firstup, apparently there's proof that going vegan
isn't actually better for you. Plantbased meat products are full of salt and
fat, grossness, sadness, andhate. It's an actual study, don't
(12:09):
you know, and probably full ofsoy, if you're a man, you're
gonna get breasts and your balls willgo away. I'm being honest about it.
I'm not big bird. Don't expectme to be like your pastor this.
You know what you're getting into whenyou listen to me. Okay.
So yeah, it's a new study. They say going vegan won't improve your
health, and experiment suggests plant basedmeat products offer no clear benefit for hard
(12:31):
health, none at all. Whatsoever? You're eating literally like manufactured mush that's
colored and like the mash is shapedto look like meat when you could just
eat meat. I don't get it, Like the whole beyond. Yeah,
it's beyond the imagination that anyone wouldeat this garbage. You're right, it
(12:52):
is beyond. So they did thesurvey. It's like pointless. There's a
reason why we have k nineteenth.Let's see here, suspects were busted in
a pizza dough battery. I feellike you should be whipped for abusing good
dough. So this guy was hit. He hit his roommate in the head
with a wat of pizza do andapparently the roommate was a big sissy because
(13:16):
he called the police and said thathe was hurt because he had been hit
by dough. I can't even makethis up. I can't even make this
up. This is over a smokinggun. This guy got arrested a misdemeanor
battery and he's still apparently locked upon a fifty dollars fond Are you here
for pizza dough for pizza do?Robo sexuality is the thing everybody's gonna Oh
(13:41):
my gosh, I have a storycoming up in the third hour for you.
So apparently people are according to aBritish paper, now people who desperately
want attention are saying that they wantto be boyfriend or girlfriend with robots.
Those are the people we should justput out on the mountain when the aliens
come, like, take these guysfirst, take them this ooh, speaking
(14:05):
of like robot romance. Now AIgirlfriends, there's a billion dollar AI girlfriend
industry, which is one of thesaddest things that I've ever heard. And
also, why didn't I think ofit? I'd be rich right now.
I could have totally been rich.We were talking about SNL on break I
have not watched Saturday Night Live andover a decade. I just I feel
like old Democrats watch it, oldcrusty, desiccated Democrats. Watch SNL.
(14:30):
Then I saw a skit that RyanGosling was in. Apparently was this all
the same show? Steve was right? Was it Ryan Gosling and Chris Tableton?
It was all the same show.I want to know who their new
writers are. Apparently they got newwriters. So there was one skit.
We can't show you any of itbecause they'll demonetize us and claim copyright violation
even though it's fair use. Butone finger salute? What of? So
(14:52):
there was one skit in particular whereit was Ryan Gosling and this other dude.
It's a guy, it's like anew guy like Keena Thompson. We
all know he's been there forever.He's like, he's hysterical. He was
being interviewed as like this AI expert, and he's surrounded like this town hall
style audience, and there are thesetwo dudes that are indavertently dressed up as
(15:15):
Beavis and butt Head, and it'shysterical. And apparently they didn't tell anybody
like the other the other comedian whowas pretending to be the host, the
interviewer, they didn't tell her.And when she turns down and sees Ryan
Gosling dressed up as Beavis. Sheloses it and Keena Thompson is brilliant in
these world He was brilliant in this. He's legit like the funniest dude.
He's the glue of the show likePhil Hartman used to be before his wife
(15:37):
offt him. And anyway, thatwas a funny skit. And then there
was a skit this country song thatChris Stepleton was in. And you know
how usually like modern country songs withchicks, they talk about like keying in
your car and you know, likewhat's her face Carrie Underwood and what drove
whatever in his leather seats. Anyway, so they make they made fun of
(16:02):
that, but with the twist,so it was like, Okay, here's
your your scorned ex girlfriend talking aboutall the ways she's gonna get you back.
But what if she were a psychoAnd there was one part where she
was I mean it didn't even rhyme. She stopped rhyming at any point.
She was just singing along like howshe would change the dude's shoes out for
a half size larger over the week, so he thought he was shrinking like
(16:26):
she did. All these torture tacticson him. It was hysterical. And
then they had what did they callit, Kane when they have like another
artist come in and they do theirthing, and it was her Cia rapper
brother who came in. Well wasa collab. I don't know, I
don't know, hype man, Idon't know. Yeah, And so then
I started thinking, I told youall this to build up for one question.
(16:51):
Maybe it's just me started thinking basedon that that that skit. Remember
reading about communist East Berlin West andEast Germany right, and how they commedis
developed the Stazi, and they usedto do all kinds of like mind jobs
on people, right, like crazystuff, like weird stuff like you would
(17:15):
see Ommeilely do in that movie tothe people that wronged that dude selling fruit
down there in the street, andthey would they they'd mess with you and
and push you to the point ofbreaking right, And some say, oh,
yeah, Cia uses those tactics.Do you ever just have like a
minor inconvenience occur to you and thenyou go, damn, Cia, Do
(17:41):
you ever think that? Cane?Do you ever think that? More often
than I'd like to admit publicly,I mean, like, if you're I
gave you example, this is thefirst thing that popped my head. You
know, like, what if youtry it well first, what if you
try to open your phone and youneed to get it. This is why
fingerprint guns are stupid, and youneed to like face recognition and all that
stuff, and you're like, followrecognize me and it doesn't, and then
(18:03):
it's like put in your past code, which you don't have time to do.
I'm just like, damn CIA.Or if you're wearing like a cardigan
or something and you walk past adoor and it catches on the doorknob,
just really annoying. Are you justlike this, damn CIA? Or when
you're trying to tear the press andseal off the box and it doesn't tear
(18:30):
because someone did it wrong and messedup the blade on the side of the
box. I feel that one itwas a CIA that did it. They
snuck in your house and messed upthe press and seal box at night.
Anybody else think this? I'm somewhatjoking on some of these, but for
real some of it. I'm like, you know what, if I wanted
to mess with me, I woulddo this. Anybody else think that maybe
just me. Every time my computercrashes in like, oh my gosh,
(18:53):
at least once a day, likeif Google freezes up, we're like,
just right, Steve? Do youever? Steve is too happy? Steve
is literally like the happiest, goluckiest person to you guys, No,
I think that. I think helie try to be tough and like I
swear, I get in a badmood. Negativity is contagious. We just
(19:15):
have to stay positive out here.Oh my gosh, do you hear him?
That's right? I support you.He's literally a living inspirational poster.
He's that kitten. Hang on,no, do you ever do that?
Steve? Or you ever? Becauseyou're in DC where they can kickch you.
I don't know if I'm blame theCIA, but I blame other people.
(19:37):
What is that can say? Whatyou said on break? What do
I say on break? You saidthat you blame kids? Oh? I
blame I blame kids for everything Ihate. I can't wait to have kids.
But like right now, he's like, I'm the happiest, but I
mean I hate kids. I lovethem, I can't wait to have them,
but you know, seeing kids lately, I don't blame them, well,
(19:59):
the ones that are not minded,like you know some of them.
I mean, you spare the rod, spoil a child. My friends said,
like with the protesters in the bridge, you know, you spare the
baton, you spoil the protester,you know, kind of the same thing.
So you blame other people. It'slike what Kane says. He says,
not all old people are. Ilike to say, yeah, just
replace that, right, just replacethat with children. For my look at
you, both of you hating onsegments of the population. I'm just blaming
(20:22):
the CIA, both extremes of thepopulation. There you go. Thanks for

die if you knew how much Ipaid in tax. Oh, you guys
would just die. Why the hellam I paying this Karen's salary? Why
(08:26):
am I paying this broad salary?I mean, she's proof that you can
go and get a degree and beuneducated. She sounds like a valley girl.
She sounds like a bimbo. Hertweets read like a bimbo, the
endless thought stream of some vapid,empty headed just bimbo. I don't know
(08:48):
how else to put it. It'sembarrassing as a woman to read her tweets
because they're embarrassing, Like who writesthis kind of stuff? She goes,
who was it that de Clarida fattusas a genetically as genetically him? And
from the point of conception, whatthis is? This? No, I'm
(09:09):
literally reading it verbatim. This isthe stuff that she sposed to be a
bird a dolphin apparently, you know, you don't know until it comes out
what it's going to be. It'slike a pinata, right, you don't
know. Why is it the fartherleft you go, the more mentally ill
you become. I don't understand,is there's a relationship there. Yeah,
(09:30):
that's what I'm saying. Is itnot obvious to everybody? But now I
mean she, I mean her tweetsare Twitchy has a round up of them.
And then The New York Times gotmad because people were pointing out her
insane tweets. I mean they're pretty, they're actually quite ridiculous, and they're
(09:56):
trying to make the story about,oh my gosh, these people are picking
on this CEO of NPR. Youguys picked on your senior editor. You
guys picked on him because he hada thoughtful, well reasoned, completely not
confrontational, fact based piece highlighting thefar left bias that dominates in PR,
(10:22):
and NPR suspended him without pay.But apparently the New York Times doesn't think
that's picking on someone, or allof the other media out there, they
don't think that's picking on someone.But if you cite the NPR CEO trying
to ask, well, who wasit that decided that fetuses, you know
(10:46):
that they were that they were humanlike tweeting stuff like this, I just
read you one and and being madover who sits in business class and getting
mad over pronouns and all of thisstuff. I mean, I can't pick
just like one to share. Likethis is when she said, she goes,
(11:07):
quote, I missed it. Whois it that declareda fatus was genetically
him? And from the point ofconception, Oh my gosh, yeah,
literally like science. And then shegoes, uh, white man, we
really are pretty much the problem thesedays. This is the stuff she tweets,
and then the New York Times andother media entities are shocked that people
(11:28):
are picking up on this stuff.These are things that she tweeted really within
the last year, and she willinglyposted publicly on a social media platform.
You guys, don't get to makeher the victim when you actually victimized your
senior editor because he was just simplyhe was honest. Ikbin I and Berlin
(11:48):
are indeed and now all of thenews you would probably miss. It's time
for Dana's quick five. So firstup, apparently there's proof that going vegan
isn't actually better for you. Plantbased meat products are full of salt and
fat, grossness, sadness, andhate. It's an actual study, don't
(12:09):
you know, and probably full ofsoy, if you're a man, you're
gonna get breasts and your balls willgo away. I'm being honest about it.
I'm not big bird. Don't expectme to be like your pastor this.
You know what you're getting into whenyou listen to me. Okay.
So yeah, it's a new study. They say going vegan won't improve your
health, and experiment suggests plant basedmeat products offer no clear benefit for hard
(12:31):
health, none at all. Whatsoever? You're eating literally like manufactured mush that's
colored and like the mash is shapedto look like meat when you could just
eat meat. I don't get it, Like the whole beyond. Yeah,
it's beyond the imagination that anyone wouldeat this garbage. You're right, it
(12:52):
is beyond. So they did thesurvey. It's like pointless. There's a
reason why we have k nineteenth.Let's see here, suspects were busted in
a pizza dough battery. I feellike you should be whipped for abusing good
dough. So this guy was hit. He hit his roommate in the head
with a wat of pizza do andapparently the roommate was a big sissy because
(13:16):
he called the police and said thathe was hurt because he had been hit
by dough. I can't even makethis up. I can't even make this
up. This is over a smokinggun. This guy got arrested a misdemeanor
battery and he's still apparently locked upon a fifty dollars fond Are you here
for pizza dough for pizza do?Robo sexuality is the thing everybody's gonna Oh
(13:41):
my gosh, I have a storycoming up in the third hour for you.
So apparently people are according to aBritish paper, now people who desperately
want attention are saying that they wantto be boyfriend or girlfriend with robots.
Those are the people we should justput out on the mountain when the aliens
come, like, take these guysfirst, take them this ooh, speaking
(14:05):
of like robot romance. Now AIgirlfriends, there's a billion dollar AI girlfriend
industry, which is one of thesaddest things that I've ever heard. And
also, why didn't I think ofit? I'd be rich right now.
I could have totally been rich.We were talking about SNL on break I
have not watched Saturday Night Live andover a decade. I just I feel
like old Democrats watch it, oldcrusty, desiccated Democrats. Watch SNL.
(14:30):
Then I saw a skit that RyanGosling was in. Apparently was this all
the same show? Steve was right? Was it Ryan Gosling and Chris Tableton?
It was all the same show.I want to know who their new
writers are. Apparently they got newwriters. So there was one skit.
We can't show you any of itbecause they'll demonetize us and claim copyright violation
even though it's fair use. Butone finger salute? What of? So
(14:52):
there was one skit in particular whereit was Ryan Gosling and this other dude.
It's a guy, it's like anew guy like Keena Thompson. We
all know he's been there forever.He's like, he's hysterical. He was
being interviewed as like this AI expert, and he's surrounded like this town hall
style audience, and there are thesetwo dudes that are indavertently dressed up as
(15:15):
Beavis and butt Head, and it'shysterical. And apparently they didn't tell anybody
like the other the other comedian whowas pretending to be the host, the
interviewer, they didn't tell her.And when she turns down and sees Ryan
Gosling dressed up as Beavis. Sheloses it and Keena Thompson is brilliant in
these world He was brilliant in this. He's legit like the funniest dude.
He's the glue of the show likePhil Hartman used to be before his wife
(15:37):
offt him. And anyway, thatwas a funny skit. And then there
was a skit this country song thatChris Stepleton was in. And you know
how usually like modern country songs withchicks, they talk about like keying in
your car and you know, likewhat's her face Carrie Underwood and what drove
whatever in his leather seats. Anyway, so they make they made fun of
(16:02):
that, but with the twist,so it was like, Okay, here's
your your scorned ex girlfriend talking aboutall the ways she's gonna get you back.
But what if she were a psychoAnd there was one part where she
was I mean it didn't even rhyme. She stopped rhyming at any point.
She was just singing along like howshe would change the dude's shoes out for
a half size larger over the week, so he thought he was shrinking like
(16:26):
she did. All these torture tacticson him. It was hysterical. And
then they had what did they callit, Kane when they have like another
artist come in and they do theirthing, and it was her Cia rapper
brother who came in. Well wasa collab. I don't know, I
don't know, hype man, Idon't know. Yeah, And so then
I started thinking, I told youall this to build up for one question.
(16:51):
Maybe it's just me started thinking basedon that that that skit. Remember
reading about communist East Berlin West andEast Germany right, and how they commedis
developed the Stazi, and they usedto do all kinds of like mind jobs
on people, right, like crazystuff, like weird stuff like you would
(17:15):
see Ommeilely do in that movie tothe people that wronged that dude selling fruit
down there in the street, andthey would they they'd mess with you and
and push you to the point ofbreaking right, And some say, oh,
yeah, Cia uses those tactics.Do you ever just have like a
minor inconvenience occur to you and thenyou go, damn, Cia, Do
(17:41):
you ever think that? Cane?Do you ever think that? More often
than I'd like to admit publicly,I mean, like, if you're I
gave you example, this is thefirst thing that popped my head. You
know, like, what if youtry it well first, what if you
try to open your phone and youneed to get it. This is why
fingerprint guns are stupid, and youneed to like face recognition and all that
stuff, and you're like, followrecognize me and it doesn't, and then
(18:03):
it's like put in your past code, which you don't have time to do.
I'm just like, damn CIA.Or if you're wearing like a cardigan
or something and you walk past adoor and it catches on the doorknob,
just really annoying. Are you justlike this, damn CIA? Or when
you're trying to tear the press andseal off the box and it doesn't tear
(18:30):
because someone did it wrong and messedup the blade on the side of the
box. I feel that one itwas a CIA that did it. They
snuck in your house and messed upthe press and seal box at night.
Anybody else think this? I'm somewhatjoking on some of these, but for
real some of it. I'm like, you know what, if I wanted
to mess with me, I woulddo this. Anybody else think that maybe
just me. Every time my computercrashes in like, oh my gosh,
(18:53):
at least once a day, likeif Google freezes up, we're like,
just right, Steve? Do youever? Steve is too happy? Steve
is literally like the happiest, goluckiest person to you guys, No,
I think that. I think helie try to be tough and like I
swear, I get in a badmood. Negativity is contagious. We just
(19:15):
have to stay positive out here.Oh my gosh, do you hear him?
That's right? I support you.He's literally a living inspirational poster.
He's that kitten. Hang on,no, do you ever do that?
Steve? Or you ever? Becauseyou're in DC where they can kickch you.
I don't know if I'm blame theCIA, but I blame other people.
(19:37):
What is that can say? Whatyou said on break? What do
I say on break? You saidthat you blame kids? Oh? I
blame I blame kids for everything Ihate. I can't wait to have kids.
But like right now, he's like, I'm the happiest, but I
mean I hate kids. I lovethem, I can't wait to have them,
but you know, seeing kids lately, I don't blame them, well,
(19:59):
the ones that are not minded,like you know some of them.
I mean, you spare the rod, spoil a child. My friends said,
like with the protesters in the bridge, you know, you spare the
baton, you spoil the protester,you know, kind of the same thing.
So you blame other people. It'slike what Kane says. He says,
not all old people are. Ilike to say, yeah, just
replace that, right, just replacethat with children. For my look at
you, both of you hating onsegments of the population. I'm just blaming
(20:22):
the CIA, both extremes of thepopulation. There you go. Thanks for
