Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
That's right, It's time for Florida Man. This is the
Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled
to be with you.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's get right.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Nake Got Afraid is the headline of this story out
of Pine Island and Florida. A deputy said, a man
with a history of getting naked in public decided to
This is shocking, get naked in public. The guy loves
to go skinny dipping, I guess, and that's caused issues
with local police. He was running naked through a Florida
neighborhood when he was arrested. The guy, who is thirty
(00:44):
years old, did not have a good answer for why
he was not wearing any clothing, and several different ring
or other doorbell cameras caught the dude running through the
neighborhood without any clothes on. That's the moment I'd regret
the ring doorbell, you know, like, that's the moment that
I would have wished that something had not popped up
on my phone notified me of commotion in front of
(01:05):
my house and then see a dude running past.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
My home without any clothes on.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That's one, as long as he didn't try to break
into my house, where I could just let it not
be a notification I have and a video that I
accidentally have to see for any amount of seconds, I
would again regret the doorbell at that moment, in that moment,
only because there's other times, because I like the ability
to know what's going on at my house when I'm
not there. But this dude, for whatever reason, just hates
wearing clothes and it seems to be a thing that
(01:32):
Florida's not.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So happy with.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I love that these stories happen as often as they do,
to be honest, because my brain goes to some weird places,
and one of the places it goes is like if
this naked dude has any friends, and you wonder if
he does, or if there's mental health issues and what
else is going on. But let's say he's got like
one good buddy and the guy is talking to him
at a bar after his latest arrest and maybe some
(01:55):
time in jail, just trying to convince this guy to
stop getting naked in public. I just wonder how that
conversation goes, like, dude, I get it. You like that
sort of thing. I know it's very illegal and it's
very creepy. You should really stop doing it, bro, you
got so much going on for you in your life.
I don't know if that's true, but his friend would
say it to him. The one thing holding you back
(02:16):
is the fact that you strip naked and run around
the neighborhood and the police are very aware of you.
If you could just get over that hurdle, man, you'd
be a full package. You'd be all there, all right, etc.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's where my brain goes, is the one friend trying
to convince this person to live a better life that
is obviously failing to do that. Another Florida story, a
Florida man was accused of spitting on a police deputy.
This is definitely a mistake that you shouldn't make because
this is actually, you know, assault. The Florida man is
behind bars after he was accused of this in Monroe County.
(02:51):
Robert John Hermanson is the guy's name. He was found
a sleeping in a museum and nature center at three am.
Deputies walk up to the guy say there's no signs
of trespassing, which is weird, and then tell him you're
not allowed to sleep here. He gets upset, he spits
on somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Again.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That is actually a battery, and assault is how that's
usually charged. And you get in a whole lot of
trouble for doing that to a police officer.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So a mistake you should not make.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
After being caught sleeping inside a museum, you should not
be in in the first place. Certainly, questions being asked
about how the guy got in if there were no
signs of breaking and entering with something left open.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Is he connected to the place.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't think that they have found any reason to
believe that he is so far, but it is. It
is interesting. One last Florida story that I liked a lot.
A nurse said that her wife was battered with cheesy nachos.
A nurse has been accused of shoving cheesy nachos down
the legging of another woman. So this is two women
(03:57):
in a relationship together. I think that both might be nurses,
but I guess in the police report, the way the
description goes is that she grabbed a handful of cheesy
nachos and shoved.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Them down the back of my dress in my legs.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The victim, as described in the story is a registered
nurse who you know went ahead and made a complaint.
These are ones where sometimes I wish that common sense
would have prevailed, because the nacho attack that tends you
to jail feels like the kind of thing that other
people are going to respect.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
In the WHO scal and one of our favorites is Celtech,
the Gen three Sub two K. If you have not
checked it out, you need to. It's ten millimeter now,
I mean, it's just they make it so versatile, a
variety of calibers, and this thing folds in half. It's
a folding carbine and now it's in ten millimeter chambering.
Single twists and fold motion of the rotating four unfolds
(04:47):
that thing quickly and half optics and everything. You don't
have to detach a single thing, and it deploys just
as quickly, also zeroed and ready to rock. It's innovation
with a twist now in ten millimeter when it folds
down at sixteen and a half, and just super easy
storage and transport. It also takes glockmags standard fifteen round
block twenty mag got ample capacity for any shooting need
optional extended magan. If you want that fifty round drum,
(05:10):
treat yourself because that's also available. And you have a
simple and reliable blowback design. You got ease and maintenance,
consistent performance, internal buffer for software, recoil lightened, five pound
trigger pool, you got the rails up top for attachments,
integrated mlock. I mean this is ideal for legit everything
and everything that kel Tech makes is right here in
the USA. I'm talking USA parts, USA, labor, everything USA.
(05:33):

Speaker 2 (05:44):
This is the Danta Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Grilled to be with you d Lash Dana Lash Radio
on x on Twitter, to stay connected to all things
data and the show. There's a whole lot going on
in social media that you connect with on First TV everywhere.
She's a lot of places very successful. Let's get right
into it. Pope Leo is from Chicago. This is something
and I lived in that city for many many years.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
That is something that people in.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Chicago were proud of there's a debate as to whether
he's a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. I
think the final update is that he's a White Sox fan.
That's all secondary to what he's going to do as
far as or maybe not even maybe it's deeper on
that list than secondary of what he's going to do
within the position of being the new Pope. Pope Leo
the fourteenth, his brother was tracked down by news media.
(06:35):
I think first locally WGN in Chicago did it, and
then CNN and everybody else jumped on the bandwagon. The
interviews are outside the guy's house, which has to be great.
But one of the pieces of audio that went viral
is Pope Leo's brother talking about the new Pope's position
on immigration, something that Pope Leo has not been shy
(06:56):
to share himself via social media, but here we go.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I think he sees the United States as headed in
the wrong direction in terms of immigration, that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
This is a total injustice.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I don't know how how he would handle.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That's a very difficult situation because you're going to offend
someone one way or the other. No, Yeah, it doesn't
seem like he's challenging how he's going to handle it
from his brother's perspective. I don't know why you'd even
say it that way, but Popo Lio does seem like
he's going to condemn the immigration decisions of the United States.
Here's what's interesting to me about that. And there's a
lot of things that are first and foremost, and I've
(07:30):
said this before, just in setting the table on this conversation,
the other countries of the world, countries that Popo Leo
will not say he opposes, do very similar things. Most
countries in Europe don't even have the ability for someone
born on their soil to claim to be a citizen.
A birthright citizenship is not a thing in other places.
(07:53):
And that's one of the reasons we have such an
immigration problem in this country is that people believe if
you can get here and then you can have kids here,
the kids can stay. And that's something that people do
for several reasons. The anchor child, as you've heard before.
If that went away, which Trump is trying to make
it go away, If those things go away, though, immigration
would change. And we're already seeing a tremendously different border
(08:16):
than we saw during Biden's term in office, and that's
what's so interesting to me. That's what's so important about
some of these discussions, the way that people in places
of power, whether it be the pope or anyone else,
choose to have positions about things that are in the
public conscious and then not talk about the other stuff
going on other places. But the United States new approach
(08:37):
to well, I don't know if you call it new,
but the approach that Trump has wanted to take and
did take the first time he was in office, but
different from the Democratic approach, is to be more like
European countries that again the Catholic Church has no problem with.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So that's interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But beyond that too, I think just trying to politicize
these things, this is the best way to say it.
And I'm a cathol like I'm a person of faith,
so I want that to be at the forefront of
what I'm about to say. I don't look to certain
places for certain information, and I think that most of
us do this and what I mean by that, and
(09:12):
I'm not telling you just shut up and dribble, do
whatever you want if you're a famous athlete, but I
don't turn on you know, ESPN for their update on
you name the sports athlete to hear about what he
thinks of Donald Trump. That's not where I get that information.
I also don't look to my faith to.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Tell me political things.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
That's not a discussion that I'm trying to get from
over there. There are some things that cross paths where
they are essentially both, but this would not be.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
One of them for me, So I don't look that direction.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So if the Pope has a position on things that
I think are inherently political and not about my faith
or my you know, belief in certain things, I will
let it go in one ear and out the other.
I'm not saying that I'm disrespecting the person in charge
of the religion that I actually, you know, follow, I'm
just saying that's not where I look for that information.
(10:05):
There are things that I want to hear from people
in charge, but it's not those and so don't I
don't pay attention to that. And I imagine a lot
of people are the same way. By the way, I'm
saying all of this to try to put out there
that I could have a hot take. I could be
anti the new Pope, I could be pro the new Pope,
and to me and again, this comes from being actually
(10:27):
a Catholic, someone who you know is involved in this
to some degree, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't have that position.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I know that even in the industry that I work,
and I'm probably supposed to like have a hot take
one way or the other, I just don't have it because,
and I think again most people will understand and agree
with this. I can tune stuff out if it's not
stuff that I'm looking for from people in positions of
power of certain things, or athletes or whatever. That's how
(10:56):
I can still watch the NBA. I enjoy the playoffs
in the National Basketball Association nowhere near as much as
I used to, because there is politics that just sort
of get seeped all over you. But I can tune
it out enough to enjoy the games and be amazed
that the Celtics can fall apart twice in a row
to the Knicks and have twenty point leads disappear in
the fourth quarter. That's stuff I can still be entertained by.
(11:19):
And I think a lot of us can do that.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Our partners that will bring you the program, it's our
friends over at all family pharmacy. Oh my gosh, I
love these people so much. If you have not ordered
from them, or if you have not signed up to
order from them, you definitely need to remedy this.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Here's why.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
All of the medications that you need, including the ones
that the government tried to keep from you, like ivermectin
and hydroxychloroquin, which are great therapeutics by the way, and
when I caught the rona naturally they were incredibly helpful
for me. But they have all of those. They also
have your daily medications. You can get them fast. You
go online, you order.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's so easy.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You can get it in like two to four days,
or you can get it overnight in a pinch. If
if it's like a serious situation and you need some
you need some medicine. Like for me, for instance, when
I was hosting for Thanksgiving, I started getting struck throat.
I've had it a million times, I know exactly what
it is, and I'm like, oh my gosh, what am
I going to do? So I overnighted antibiotics to myself
(12:18):
from all family pharmacy and started my regimen, and literally
by noon the next day, I was fine. I was
able to do what I need to do because I
had a ton of family coming to my house. They
saved Thanksgiving for me. I really have relied on All
Family Pharmacy and I cannot recommend them enough. Also, everything
is made in the USA, all precursors everything. You're not
(12:39):

Speaker 2 (12:56):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for day and this Quick five. That's right,
this is the Danish show.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in Dlash Dana Lash
Radio on x to stay connected with all things Dana
Last and her show, the Danish Show. Let's do this first,
as far as Quick five stories go, the world will
have its first mass produced flying vehicle. Five hundred successful
flights of a Slovakian created car that actually has these
(13:25):
wings that pop out of the sides. They kind of
like come up like almost you know, those high rising
doors on certain vehicles. I keep thinking about the time
machine and Back of the future. But anyway, they then
kind of disappear on the sides of the vehicle so
you can drive the car, but then they get pushed out,
extended out so you can fly it like a plane.
(13:47):
There are moments in society where no matter how much
I want this thing and it says it has like
a two hundred and fifty horsepower engine in it, I
probably shouldn't have it, and we probably people shouldn't buy
flying cars like this, because it seems like it'll be
horrible for all of us. If you can't put down
your cell phone to drive a regular vehicle, I imagine
(14:09):
flying a vehicle into the sky will make things.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Even worse for us. But it is there, it will exist.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It will be incredibly expensive, so won't be on the
road very much in the next few years. But a
mass produced flying car has been created, and again my
immediate reaction was I want one.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I want one, real, real bad, all right, other things
out there.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
US life expectance studies show Southerners barely living any longer
than those born in the nineteen hundreds, so there is
a difference in a life expectancy depending on where in
the United States you live. West Coast residents gained decades
of life over the last century, especially women who live
(14:49):
on the West Coast, and the rest of us not
doing so great, especially again in the South. There's a
bunch of reasons for this, they say, many of them
just simple diets related. One of the things that I
think is really interesting though, and I couldn't get over it,
is the idea that you have less stress because the
people around you agree with you. If you live on
(15:09):
the West Coast, especially as a woman, you might be
in circles of people who have similar political feelings that
you do and other things, and just not arguing or
getting mad as often as maybe someone does who has
more discussions with other people. Although there is a lot
of uniform thinking in other parts of the country, I'm
not trying to say there aren't, but part of me
wonders if maybe that's uniquely beneficial for the side that
(15:32):
seems to be outraged much more often than the political
side of the aisle that would live in a whole
lot of the rest of the country. I'm not sure,
but that seems to be a benefit also, and I
live in Texas.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I like steak, and I'm not giving it up, no
matter what you tell me about how bad it is
for my health. I'm not going to do it, and
I really don't care all right, other things out there,
as far as Quick five go, a half ton spacecraft
lost by the Soviets in nineteen seventy two has comeing home.
We don't know where it's going to land, but this
(16:04):
spacecraft is going to crash land on Earth at some
point in the very near future. That's just an odd
story to see and to think about that we fire
these things up there Comos for eighty two.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It was headed to Venus.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's expected to re enter Earth's atmosphere this weekend. We're
again not exactly sure, although we think it won't be
harmful where it's going to be land where it's going
to land, at least for now. So that's since good
news bad news as far as the situation goes. But again,
they do believe it will actually survive re entry, which
is something a lot of spacecrafts no longer are.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But we will see how that goes, and then we
will compare it to SpaceX and how much better Elon
musk Is at having stuff returned safely after firing it
up into space. Then back in the seventies when we
were just flinging stuff up there, especially the Russians, were
just flinging stuff up there and then hoping for the
best years later, which is what it looks like is
happening here.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Everyone is cheating in college.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
According to a brand new study, chat GPT or other
AI is being used. AI is being told to not
seem like AI so that a teacher using a detector
of some kind will fail. That's another thing that's weird
that's out there. You can tell the AI to write
a paper more like a human would, and even purposefully
make a few mistakes so that you don't even have.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
To rewrite it. But everyone is cheating, is what they're saying. Now.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
When the discussion about the value of a college education
and the potential indoctrination to believe certain things from these
elite universities exists out there, it's really interesting to see
that people are also cheating their way through, probably something
they've done before, in order to get that a piece
of paper that claims that you're more qualified for a
(17:49):
job than you actually are, and then you start out
knowing even less, it seems, than the guy who's been
working for five or six years and is, you know,
slowly progressing his way up the ladder. It's just interesting
to see that now most people in that world, and
I have a college education, are just cheating their way
through a baby, because why does it matter. I just
need the piece of paper, That's all I'm looking for.
Here is what Biden said about why Harris lost the election,
(18:12):
which is amazing. And this has gone viral since the
interview yesterday in which he said.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
This, and it was like twenty sixteen all over again.
So why do you think the vice president lost? And
were you surprised?
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice
president must qualified person to be president. She is. She's
qualified to be president United Stations.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
She is. Not. Sorry I continue, but I was surprised.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I wasn't surprised because they went the root of the
sexistruit of the whole room. Oh my god, this is
a woman, she's this Really, I've never seen quite as
successful and a consistent campaign, undercutting the notion that a
woman couldn't lead the country, and a woman of mixed trace.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You know, it's amazing about this.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
The first thing I want to say is that the
premise of that statement me you, whoever is out there
that's a voter that didn't vote for Harris, that voted
for the evil, horrible Donald Trump, we did it because
we hate, you know, women, or we hate people of
certain races. It can't possibly be that I'm intelligent enough
to compare the two messages to want an improved economy,
(19:25):
want you know, savings within the federal government, which Doge
did a great job of so far, but I'd love
to see a lot more done.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I can't want any of those policies.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I have to just in my brain and be like, no,
I can never let a woman or someonet of color
be our president, even though Barack Obama was president for
eight years in this country. I can't let that happen,
is what they think. I'm yelling in my mind. And
so I go out and I vote for anybody. It
wouldn't even have to have been Trump. I could have
voted for anyone just to prevent Harris from winning. That's insane,
(19:56):
and there's so much of that insanity that exists out there,
and so I resist doing this earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'm going to do it now.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
This is a supercut of things that Harris said during
her short tenure as a candidate for president, one in
which she didn't even win a nomination. She didn't go
through a primary process in order to be selected by
her own party.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The voters didn't get a chance to choose because darn it,
a whole lot of people knew that Harris wouldn't do
well debating other Democratic politicians. Because of this speaking in
circles thing that became the true narrative and the true
thing that everyone was consuming on social media. I have
friends that vote Democratic. I lived in Chicago for years.
I've lived in other big cities. I have people that
(20:39):
don't agree with me politically that I somehow still talk to.
And one of my favorite things is the amount of
those individuals during the political campaign that were sending me
crazy broken videos of Harris being like, man, how do
I vote for this? This is terrible? Or this makes
no sense? How do I punch this ticket? And it
had nothing to do with whether or not she was
(20:59):
a man or a woman, or what race she was.
These were even women that would say this sort of stuff,
not just dudes. So I again love that that it
had to be sexist.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It couldn't have been this Nan, Dick Cheney and Satan.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
That's next back like a demon, it rises again.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Dick Cheney, Darth Vader Satan.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Thus, hold on, I hit play at the wrong piece
of audio.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
But I do love this audio.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think Kamala Harris is in that audio calling Dick
Cheney the dark Lord as he said that he was
going to endorse Donald Trump. That is not the super
cut I meant to play, But that is a super
cut that I enjoyed quite a bit. So let's get
to a different one, a one where Harris just speaks
in circles and loops and craziness, because that's what she
did all the time, and you remember it and I
(21:49):
remember it, and this is why she failed to be
the next president of the United States, not because she's
a woman or a person of color. And Dick Cheney,
also the dark Lord, did go ahead and endorse Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I loved that. I had that. All Right, here we go.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It is time for us to do what we have
been doing in that time, as every day we must
together work together to see where we are where we
are headed where we are going and our vision for
where we should be.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Because we have the ability to see what can be
yea unburdened by what has been, that's right, and then
to make the possible actually happen, to see what is possible,
to see what can be, unburdened by what has been,
to reject the notion that the way things have always
been has to be the way things will continue to be.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I have a motto what I drink, I eat and
drink no for breakfast. I eat no for breakfast.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I eat no for breakfast.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
There is no vaccine for racism.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
The climate crisis represents an existential threat to who.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
We are as a species.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
We're talking about the signific of the passage of time.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Oh, it's one of my favorites, right.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
The significance of the passage of time.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
So when you think about it, here is great significance
to the passage of time.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, I gotta stop. This is why she lost. This
is why she wouldn't have even won a primary. You
know it, I know it. They know it, but they
need to, you know, mobilize the troops to convince you
that something horrible and nefarious happened because the right is
a bunch of just terrible people. That's the only way
they can process this. So instead, Biden goes on television
and says the reason they lost. Even though he absolutely
(23:32):
fought and tried not to let her be the candidate himself.
He wanted to stay in that gig, as we all know,
and even did interviews right up until he stepped down,
where he said he was defiantly not stepping down, and
then Nancy Pelosi pushed him into the corner and didn't
let him run for president, which is crazy. But unless
this's all this is going on, we know the real
reason she wasn't a good candidate. And I'll say this
(23:55):
not because I think she actually would have beaten Donald Trump,
but she would have performed better than Harris. Michelle Obama
was the true Democratic candidate that people wanted, that I
think voters and the Democratic machine wanted, at least on
that side of the aisle. Obviously, the right wouldn't have
wanted to see that. And what are the things that
are in common between Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris. They
(24:19):
both happen to be women of race and women in general,
and so it's interesting to be told that a woman
can't win, and you know, someone of a certain race
can't win, when there was a candidate out there that
media was begging to run because they thought she was
a shoe in to win. Again, I don't think she
actually would have beaten Trump. I think those debates would
have been interesting. But nonetheless, I do think that it
(24:42):
was easy to find a candidate more significant, more, you know,
potentially capable of winning than Harris. Harris was the forced
candidate for a bunch of reasons, most of those money.
I should say that too, by the way, before I
move on, I believe the biggest reason the Demoocratic Party
allowed Harris to truly be the candidate was not because
(25:04):
they wanted her to be, but because legally she was
the only individual who could take all of Biden's donations
since she was on the ticket with him, and use
them for her own campaign. If they had not done that,
if they, at the last minute, the last hour, given
anyone else the chance to run other than Harris, that
person would have had to raise funds differently and wouldn't
(25:24):
have been able to use a lot of the war
chests that had already been created for the Biden campaign,
but shifting that money over because she was the VP,
and I think some people would argue that actually was
legally done, was something they did that was the biggest
reason money was truly it because I think Democrats knew
she was not a good candidate and hadn't been a
good vice president for several years. Because as the light
(25:46):
shine brighter on her, things that she said and did
seemed crazier and crazier. Thanks for tuning into today's edition

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
That's right, It's time for Florida Man. This is the
Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled
to be with you.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Let's get right.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Nake Got Afraid is the headline of this story out
of Pine Island and Florida. A deputy said, a man
with a history of getting naked in public decided to
This is shocking, get naked in public. The guy loves
to go skinny dipping, I guess, and that's caused issues
with local police. He was running naked through a Florida
neighborhood when he was arrested. The guy, who is thirty
(00:44):
years old, did not have a good answer for why
he was not wearing any clothing, and several different ring
or other doorbell cameras caught the dude running through the
neighborhood without any clothes on. That's the moment I'd regret
the ring doorbell, you know, like, that's the moment that
I would have wished that something had not popped up
on my phone notified me of commotion in front of
(01:05):
my house and then see a dude running past.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
My home without any clothes on.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That's one, as long as he didn't try to break
into my house, where I could just let it not
be a notification I have and a video that I
accidentally have to see for any amount of seconds, I
would again regret the doorbell at that moment, in that moment,
only because there's other times, because I like the ability
to know what's going on at my house when I'm
not there. But this dude, for whatever reason, just hates
wearing clothes and it seems to be a thing that
(01:32):
Florida's not.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So happy with.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I love that these stories happen as often as they do,
to be honest, because my brain goes to some weird places,
and one of the places it goes is like if
this naked dude has any friends, and you wonder if
he does, or if there's mental health issues and what
else is going on. But let's say he's got like
one good buddy and the guy is talking to him
at a bar after his latest arrest and maybe some
(01:55):
time in jail, just trying to convince this guy to
stop getting naked in public. I just wonder how that
conversation goes, like, dude, I get it. You like that
sort of thing. I know it's very illegal and it's
very creepy. You should really stop doing it, bro, you
got so much going on for you in your life.
I don't know if that's true, but his friend would
say it to him. The one thing holding you back
(02:16):
is the fact that you strip naked and run around
the neighborhood and the police are very aware of you.
If you could just get over that hurdle, man, you'd
be a full package. You'd be all there, all right, etc.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Etc.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's where my brain goes, is the one friend trying
to convince this person to live a better life that
is obviously failing to do that. Another Florida story, a
Florida man was accused of spitting on a police deputy.
This is definitely a mistake that you shouldn't make because
this is actually, you know, assault. The Florida man is
behind bars after he was accused of this in Monroe County.
(02:51):
Robert John Hermanson is the guy's name. He was found
a sleeping in a museum and nature center at three am.
Deputies walk up to the guy say there's no signs
of trespassing, which is weird, and then tell him you're
not allowed to sleep here. He gets upset, he spits
on somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Again.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That is actually a battery, and assault is how that's
usually charged. And you get in a whole lot of
trouble for doing that to a police officer.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So a mistake you should not make.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
After being caught sleeping inside a museum, you should not
be in in the first place. Certainly, questions being asked
about how the guy got in if there were no
signs of breaking and entering with something left open.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Is he connected to the place.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't think that they have found any reason to
believe that he is so far, but it is. It
is interesting. One last Florida story that I liked a lot.
A nurse said that her wife was battered with cheesy nachos.
A nurse has been accused of shoving cheesy nachos down
the legging of another woman. So this is two women
(03:57):
in a relationship together. I think that both might be nurses,
but I guess in the police report, the way the
description goes is that she grabbed a handful of cheesy
nachos and shoved.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Them down the back of my dress in my legs.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The victim, as described in the story is a registered
nurse who you know went ahead and made a complaint.
These are ones where sometimes I wish that common sense
would have prevailed, because the nacho attack that tends you
to jail feels like the kind of thing that other
people are going to respect.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
In the WHO scal and one of our favorites is Celtech,
the Gen three Sub two K. If you have not
checked it out, you need to. It's ten millimeter now,
I mean, it's just they make it so versatile, a
variety of calibers, and this thing folds in half. It's
a folding carbine and now it's in ten millimeter chambering.
Single twists and fold motion of the rotating four unfolds
(04:47):
that thing quickly and half optics and everything. You don't
have to detach a single thing, and it deploys just
as quickly, also zeroed and ready to rock. It's innovation
with a twist now in ten millimeter when it folds
down at sixteen and a half, and just super easy
storage and transport. It also takes glockmags standard fifteen round
block twenty mag got ample capacity for any shooting need
optional extended magan. If you want that fifty round drum,
(05:10):
treat yourself because that's also available. And you have a
simple and reliable blowback design. You got ease and maintenance,
consistent performance, internal buffer for software, recoil lightened, five pound
trigger pool, you got the rails up top for attachments,
integrated mlock. I mean this is ideal for legit everything
and everything that kel Tech makes is right here in
the USA. I'm talking USA parts, USA, labor, everything USA.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
This is the Danta Show. My name is Craig Collins,
filling in.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Grilled to be with you d Lash Dana Lash Radio
on x on Twitter, to stay connected to all things
data and the show. There's a whole lot going on
in social media that you connect with on First TV everywhere.
She's a lot of places very successful. Let's get right
into it. Pope Leo is from Chicago. This is something
and I lived in that city for many many years.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
That is something that people in.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Chicago were proud of there's a debate as to whether
he's a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. I
think the final update is that he's a White Sox fan.
That's all secondary to what he's going to do as
far as or maybe not even maybe it's deeper on
that list than secondary of what he's going to do
within the position of being the new Pope. Pope Leo
the fourteenth, his brother was tracked down by news media.
(06:35):
I think first locally WGN in Chicago did it, and
then CNN and everybody else jumped on the bandwagon. The
interviews are outside the guy's house, which has to be great.
But one of the pieces of audio that went viral
is Pope Leo's brother talking about the new Pope's position
on immigration, something that Pope Leo has not been shy
(06:56):
to share himself via social media, but here we go.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I think he sees the United States as headed in
the wrong direction in terms of immigration, that.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
This is a total injustice.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I don't know how how he would handle.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That's a very difficult situation because you're going to offend
someone one way or the other. No, Yeah, it doesn't
seem like he's challenging how he's going to handle it
from his brother's perspective. I don't know why you'd even
say it that way, but Popo Lio does seem like
he's going to condemn the immigration decisions of the United States.
Here's what's interesting to me about that. And there's a
lot of things that are first and foremost, and I've
(07:30):
said this before, just in setting the table on this conversation,
the other countries of the world, countries that Popo Leo
will not say he opposes, do very similar things. Most
countries in Europe don't even have the ability for someone
born on their soil to claim to be a citizen.
A birthright citizenship is not a thing in other places.
(07:53):
And that's one of the reasons we have such an
immigration problem in this country is that people believe if
you can get here and then you can have kids here,
the kids can stay. And that's something that people do
for several reasons. The anchor child, as you've heard before.
If that went away, which Trump is trying to make
it go away, If those things go away, though, immigration
would change. And we're already seeing a tremendously different border
(08:16):
than we saw during Biden's term in office, and that's
what's so interesting to me. That's what's so important about
some of these discussions, the way that people in places
of power, whether it be the pope or anyone else,
choose to have positions about things that are in the
public conscious and then not talk about the other stuff
going on other places. But the United States new approach
(08:37):
to well, I don't know if you call it new,
but the approach that Trump has wanted to take and
did take the first time he was in office, but
different from the Democratic approach, is to be more like
European countries that again the Catholic Church has no problem with.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So that's interesting to me.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But beyond that too, I think just trying to politicize
these things, this is the best way to say it.
And I'm a cathol like I'm a person of faith,
so I want that to be at the forefront of
what I'm about to say. I don't look to certain
places for certain information, and I think that most of
us do this and what I mean by that, and
(09:12):
I'm not telling you just shut up and dribble, do
whatever you want if you're a famous athlete, but I
don't turn on you know, ESPN for their update on
you name the sports athlete to hear about what he
thinks of Donald Trump. That's not where I get that information.
I also don't look to my faith to.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Tell me political things.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
That's not a discussion that I'm trying to get from
over there. There are some things that cross paths where
they are essentially both, but this would not be.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
One of them for me, So I don't look that direction.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So if the Pope has a position on things that
I think are inherently political and not about my faith
or my you know, belief in certain things, I will
let it go in one ear and out the other.
I'm not saying that I'm disrespecting the person in charge
of the religion that I actually, you know, follow, I'm
just saying that's not where I look for that information.
(10:05):
There are things that I want to hear from people
in charge, but it's not those and so don't I
don't pay attention to that. And I imagine a lot
of people are the same way. By the way, I'm
saying all of this to try to put out there
that I could have a hot take. I could be
anti the new Pope, I could be pro the new Pope,
and to me and again, this comes from being actually
(10:27):
a Catholic, someone who you know is involved in this
to some degree, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I don't have that position.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I know that even in the industry that I work,
and I'm probably supposed to like have a hot take
one way or the other, I just don't have it because,
and I think again most people will understand and agree
with this. I can tune stuff out if it's not
stuff that I'm looking for from people in positions of
power of certain things, or athletes or whatever. That's how
(10:56):
I can still watch the NBA. I enjoy the playoffs
in the National Basketball Association nowhere near as much as
I used to, because there is politics that just sort
of get seeped all over you. But I can tune
it out enough to enjoy the games and be amazed
that the Celtics can fall apart twice in a row
to the Knicks and have twenty point leads disappear in
the fourth quarter. That's stuff I can still be entertained by.
(11:19):
And I think a lot of us can do that.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Our partners that will bring you the program, it's our
friends over at all family pharmacy. Oh my gosh, I
love these people so much. If you have not ordered
from them, or if you have not signed up to
order from them, you definitely need to remedy this.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Here's why.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
All of the medications that you need, including the ones
that the government tried to keep from you, like ivermectin
and hydroxychloroquin, which are great therapeutics by the way, and
when I caught the rona naturally they were incredibly helpful
for me. But they have all of those. They also
have your daily medications. You can get them fast. You
go online, you order.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's so easy.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You can get it in like two to four days,
or you can get it overnight in a pinch. If
if it's like a serious situation and you need some
you need some medicine. Like for me, for instance, when
I was hosting for Thanksgiving, I started getting struck throat.
I've had it a million times, I know exactly what
it is, and I'm like, oh my gosh, what am
I going to do? So I overnighted antibiotics to myself
(12:18):
from all family pharmacy and started my regimen, and literally
by noon the next day, I was fine. I was
able to do what I need to do because I
had a ton of family coming to my house. They
saved Thanksgiving for me. I really have relied on All
Family Pharmacy and I cannot recommend them enough. Also, everything
is made in the USA, all precursors everything. You're not
(12:39):
getting anything from India or China, so you can worry.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for day and this Quick five. That's right,
this is the Danish show.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
My name is Craig Collins, filling in Dlash Dana Lash
Radio on x to stay connected with all things Dana
Last and her show, the Danish Show. Let's do this first,
as far as Quick five stories go, the world will
have its first mass produced flying vehicle. Five hundred successful
flights of a Slovakian created car that actually has these
(13:25):
wings that pop out of the sides. They kind of
like come up like almost you know, those high rising
doors on certain vehicles. I keep thinking about the time
machine and Back of the future. But anyway, they then
kind of disappear on the sides of the vehicle so
you can drive the car, but then they get pushed out,
extended out so you can fly it like a plane.
(13:47):
There are moments in society where no matter how much
I want this thing and it says it has like
a two hundred and fifty horsepower engine in it, I
probably shouldn't have it, and we probably people shouldn't buy
flying cars like this, because it seems like it'll be
horrible for all of us. If you can't put down
your cell phone to drive a regular vehicle, I imagine
(14:09):
flying a vehicle into the sky will make things.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Even worse for us. But it is there, it will exist.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It will be incredibly expensive, so won't be on the
road very much in the next few years. But a
mass produced flying car has been created, and again my
immediate reaction was I want one.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I want one, real, real bad, all right, other things
out there.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
US life expectance studies show Southerners barely living any longer
than those born in the nineteen hundreds, so there is
a difference in a life expectancy depending on where in
the United States you live. West Coast residents gained decades
of life over the last century, especially women who live
(14:49):
on the West Coast, and the rest of us not
doing so great, especially again in the South. There's a
bunch of reasons for this, they say, many of them
just simple diets related. One of the things that I
think is really interesting though, and I couldn't get over it,
is the idea that you have less stress because the
people around you agree with you. If you live on
(15:09):
the West Coast, especially as a woman, you might be
in circles of people who have similar political feelings that
you do and other things, and just not arguing or
getting mad as often as maybe someone does who has
more discussions with other people. Although there is a lot
of uniform thinking in other parts of the country, I'm
not trying to say there aren't, but part of me
wonders if maybe that's uniquely beneficial for the side that
(15:32):
seems to be outraged much more often than the political
side of the aisle that would live in a whole
lot of the rest of the country. I'm not sure,
but that seems to be a benefit also, and I
live in Texas.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I like steak, and I'm not giving it up, no
matter what you tell me about how bad it is
for my health. I'm not going to do it, and
I really don't care all right, other things out there,
as far as Quick five go, a half ton spacecraft
lost by the Soviets in nineteen seventy two has comeing home.
We don't know where it's going to land, but this
(16:04):
spacecraft is going to crash land on Earth at some
point in the very near future. That's just an odd
story to see and to think about that we fire
these things up there Comos for eighty two.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It was headed to Venus.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's expected to re enter Earth's atmosphere this weekend. We're
again not exactly sure, although we think it won't be
harmful where it's going to be land where it's going
to land, at least for now. So that's since good
news bad news as far as the situation goes. But again,
they do believe it will actually survive re entry, which
is something a lot of spacecrafts no longer are.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But we will see how that goes, and then we
will compare it to SpaceX and how much better Elon
musk Is at having stuff returned safely after firing it
up into space. Then back in the seventies when we
were just flinging stuff up there, especially the Russians, were
just flinging stuff up there and then hoping for the
best years later, which is what it looks like is
happening here.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Everyone is cheating in college.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
According to a brand new study, chat GPT or other
AI is being used. AI is being told to not
seem like AI so that a teacher using a detector
of some kind will fail. That's another thing that's weird
that's out there. You can tell the AI to write
a paper more like a human would, and even purposefully
make a few mistakes so that you don't even have.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
To rewrite it. But everyone is cheating, is what they're saying. Now.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
When the discussion about the value of a college education
and the potential indoctrination to believe certain things from these
elite universities exists out there, it's really interesting to see
that people are also cheating their way through, probably something
they've done before, in order to get that a piece
of paper that claims that you're more qualified for a
(17:49):
job than you actually are, and then you start out
knowing even less, it seems, than the guy who's been
working for five or six years and is, you know,
slowly progressing his way up the ladder. It's just interesting
to see that now most people in that world, and
I have a college education, are just cheating their way
through a baby, because why does it matter. I just
need the piece of paper, That's all I'm looking for.
Here is what Biden said about why Harris lost the election,
(18:12):
which is amazing. And this has gone viral since the
interview yesterday in which he said.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
This, and it was like twenty sixteen all over again.
So why do you think the vice president lost? And
were you surprised?
Speaker 6 (18:27):
I wasn't surprised, not because I didn't think the vice
president must qualified person to be president. She is. She's
qualified to be president United Stations.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
She is. Not. Sorry I continue, but I was surprised.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I wasn't surprised because they went the root of the
sexistruit of the whole room. Oh my god, this is
a woman, she's this Really, I've never seen quite as
successful and a consistent campaign, undercutting the notion that a
woman couldn't lead the country, and a woman of mixed trace.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You know, it's amazing about this.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
The first thing I want to say is that the
premise of that statement me you, whoever is out there
that's a voter that didn't vote for Harris, that voted
for the evil, horrible Donald Trump, we did it because
we hate, you know, women, or we hate people of
certain races. It can't possibly be that I'm intelligent enough
to compare the two messages to want an improved economy,
(19:25):
want you know, savings within the federal government, which Doge
did a great job of so far, but I'd love
to see a lot more done.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I can't want any of those policies.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I have to just in my brain and be like, no,
I can never let a woman or someonet of color
be our president, even though Barack Obama was president for
eight years in this country. I can't let that happen,
is what they think. I'm yelling in my mind. And
so I go out and I vote for anybody. It
wouldn't even have to have been Trump. I could have
voted for anyone just to prevent Harris from winning. That's insane,
(19:56):
and there's so much of that insanity that exists out there,
and so I resist doing this earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'm going to do it now.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
This is a supercut of things that Harris said during
her short tenure as a candidate for president, one in
which she didn't even win a nomination. She didn't go
through a primary process in order to be selected by
her own party.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The voters didn't get a chance to choose because darn it,
a whole lot of people knew that Harris wouldn't do
well debating other Democratic politicians. Because of this speaking in
circles thing that became the true narrative and the true
thing that everyone was consuming on social media. I have
friends that vote Democratic. I lived in Chicago for years.
I've lived in other big cities. I have people that
(20:39):
don't agree with me politically that I somehow still talk to.
And one of my favorite things is the amount of
those individuals during the political campaign that were sending me
crazy broken videos of Harris being like, man, how do
I vote for this? This is terrible? Or this makes
no sense? How do I punch this ticket? And it
had nothing to do with whether or not she was
(20:59):
a man or a woman, or what race she was.
These were even women that would say this sort of stuff,
not just dudes. So I again love that that it
had to be sexist.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It couldn't have been this Nan, Dick Cheney and Satan.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
That's next back like a demon, it rises again.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Dick Cheney, Darth Vader Satan.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Thus, hold on, I hit play at the wrong piece
of audio.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
But I do love this audio.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think Kamala Harris is in that audio calling Dick
Cheney the dark Lord as he said that he was
going to endorse Donald Trump. That is not the super
cut I meant to play, But that is a super
cut that I enjoyed quite a bit. So let's get
to a different one, a one where Harris just speaks
in circles and loops and craziness, because that's what she
did all the time, and you remember it and I
(21:49):
remember it, and this is why she failed to be
the next president of the United States, not because she's
a woman or a person of color. And Dick Cheney,
also the dark Lord, did go ahead and endorse Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I loved that. I had that. All Right, here we go.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
It is time for us to do what we have
been doing in that time, as every day we must
together work together to see where we are where we
are headed where we are going and our vision for
where we should be.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Because we have the ability to see what can be
yea unburdened by what has been, that's right, and then
to make the possible actually happen, to see what is possible,
to see what can be, unburdened by what has been,
to reject the notion that the way things have always
been has to be the way things will continue to be.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I have a motto what I drink, I eat and
drink no for breakfast. I eat no for breakfast.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I eat no for breakfast.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
There is no vaccine for racism.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
The climate crisis represents an existential threat to who.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
We are as a species.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
We're talking about the signific of the passage of time.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Oh, it's one of my favorites, right.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
The significance of the passage of time.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
So when you think about it, here is great significance
to the passage of time.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, I gotta stop. This is why she lost. This
is why she wouldn't have even won a primary. You
know it, I know it. They know it, but they
need to, you know, mobilize the troops to convince you
that something horrible and nefarious happened because the right is
a bunch of just terrible people. That's the only way
they can process this. So instead, Biden goes on television
and says the reason they lost. Even though he absolutely
(23:32):
fought and tried not to let her be the candidate himself.
He wanted to stay in that gig, as we all know,
and even did interviews right up until he stepped down,
where he said he was defiantly not stepping down, and
then Nancy Pelosi pushed him into the corner and didn't
let him run for president, which is crazy. But unless
this's all this is going on, we know the real
reason she wasn't a good candidate. And I'll say this
(23:55):
not because I think she actually would have beaten Donald Trump,
but she would have performed better than Harris. Michelle Obama
was the true Democratic candidate that people wanted, that I
think voters and the Democratic machine wanted, at least on
that side of the aisle. Obviously, the right wouldn't have
wanted to see that. And what are the things that
are in common between Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris. They
(24:19):
both happen to be women of race and women in general,
and so it's interesting to be told that a woman
can't win, and you know, someone of a certain race
can't win, when there was a candidate out there that
media was begging to run because they thought she was
a shoe in to win. Again, I don't think she
actually would have beaten Trump. I think those debates would
have been interesting. But nonetheless, I do think that it
(24:42):
was easy to find a candidate more significant, more, you know,
potentially capable of winning than Harris. Harris was the forced
candidate for a bunch of reasons, most of those money.
I should say that too, by the way, before I
move on, I believe the biggest reason the Demoocratic Party
allowed Harris to truly be the candidate was not because
(25:04):
they wanted her to be, but because legally she was
the only individual who could take all of Biden's donations
since she was on the ticket with him, and use
them for her own campaign. If they had not done that,
if they, at the last minute, the last hour, given
anyone else the chance to run other than Harris, that
person would have had to raise funds differently and wouldn't
(25:24):
have been able to use a lot of the war
chests that had already been created for the Biden campaign,
but shifting that money over because she was the VP,
and I think some people would argue that actually was
legally done, was something they did that was the biggest
reason money was truly it because I think Democrats knew
she was not a good candidate and hadn't been a
good vice president for several years. Because as the light
(25:46):
shine brighter on her, things that she said and did
seemed crazier and crazier. Thanks for tuning into today's edition
