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. Well, well, well, a Florida USPS worker,
this is probably why none of my packages ever get
to my house and why it takes me. It literally
takes a month to send a piece of mail from
my house to Saint Louis. I'm not even kidding you,

(00:26):
that's how long it takes. A USPS worker was arrested
this month in Melbourne, Florida, because she decided to stop
off at a house party during her route and drink
a bunch of vodka and then later in the mail truck.
Apparently she was caught driving the wrong way in traffic. Dude,
that's a probable cause. Affid David via click Orlando. Caitlinde,
thirty three, was arrested on April twelfth on a charge

(00:48):
of dui. They literally Melbourne police were They called and said, yeah,
there's a USPS truck driving the wrong way down the
highway and the driver is literally just throwing plastic cups
out of the vehicle. So the officers responded and they
saw the mail truck driving west on East University Boulevard,
and then it made a U turn to head the
other way, and it was swerving in and out of

(01:08):
its lane and then went back into the opposite lane.
They pulled over the mail truck and they said that
Die appeared to be confused and disoriented. They did a
field sobriety exercise, and of course she did not do
well in those. They questioned her and she said that
she was delivering to a home and she was invited
inside for a party, and she took some vodka shots
before she left, and then she got pulled over. So

(01:29):
they asked her wife. She was swerving in and out
of traffic, and she goes, oh, I was tired. I
was taking it out. And she said that she threw
it the cop out of the vehicle because she was
swishing her mouth out with water so she would smell
like alcohol. She was booked in a Brevard County jail.
I mean, there you go right there. Whoo boy, Now
we got another guy wrestling another gator. Every dang week

(01:52):
in Florida. You can go wrestle a gator. So Jacksonville, Florida,
let's see af During East dinner, they had to call
a gaiter trapper. A family did in Jacksonville because there
was a giant gaiter in their yard. A woman was
getting ready to take her dog out when she noticed
a seven foot alligator right by the slide door of
her patio. And she said, she was just finishing up

(02:16):
Easter dinner with family and she was she needed to
get the alligator off the property, but she had to
get some help. And that's when Mike Draggitch arrived and shoeless,
and he wrestled this gator into a garbage can. And
it's actually hysterical looking because it kept popping up and
hissing at everybody. It couldn't get out of the can,

(02:37):
but it kept popping up to hiss and nobody got bit. Thankfully,
they called Florida Fish and Wildlife and they were able
to take the gator. But yeah, you gotta be careful.
I wouldn't be able to let like my dogs out
or well. Wick could probably kill one. Wickes hardcore wild
raccoon attack. A Florida woman speaks out because she suffered
one in her backyard. They're not pets, she said, a

(02:59):
shoe she opened up her her back door. It bit
her on the leg. It was like monty python screaming
and a crazy raccoon and she couldn't shake him off
and he chased her into a corner and they had
to call she'd go to the emergency room animal control
how to respond. Thankfully, the animal tested negative for raise Rabi's,
but it was very aggressive. They had to relocate it

(03:19):
and crazy raccoons biting ladies legs. In Florida, gold prices
have surged over forty percent since January twenty twenty four,
consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research, the
upward trend is expected to persist due to strong demand
from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me
take action and why I've bought precious metals like gold

(03:39):
and silver. I partnered with a great company that makes
it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple, and
that company is gold Co. They're a huge supporter of
this show and they're the best at what they do.
And right now you can get a free twenty twenty
five gold and silver kit jam packed with critical information
about buying precious metals. It was a huge help, not
just from me, but to all of you if you

(04:01):
do this, and for my audience, you could also qualify
for up to a ten percent instant match in bonus silver.
It's a really great deal, so don't miss out. Visit
Dana likes Goold dot com to learn more. That's Dana
likes Gold dot Com. I wanted to play this audio
too from Kantanji Brown Jackson because they've been arguing making

(04:24):
the oral arguments before Scotus in this Maryland case. Right
with parents that don't want their kids to learn about
like nudy stuff when they're in third grade, it seems
right right. I want you to listen to what she
says here in this audio Soundpainte eighteen and I.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Guess I'm struggling to see how it burdens a parent's
religious exercise if the school teaches something that the parent
disagrees with, you have a choice. You don't have to
send your kid to that school. You can put them
in another situation.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
First off, that is such a disingenuous art argument. And
I can't stand her vocal fry. This is such a
disingenuous argument. You're not burdening a parent's religious exercise, is not,
That's not what is that issue. What is that issue
is whether or not young children should be exposed to
sexually explicit age inappropriate material. If you were to do

(05:18):
this in any other setting, you that might actually constitute
something of an abusive nature. But somehow it's supposed to
be sanctified because it's presented in a quote unquote educational setting.
I mean, I would like to know what educational value
as second grader can garner from learning about pegging. Don't
google it, well, Kine, I mean, I need to make

(05:42):
the point. Did you just do a Baptist faith palm
at me? You did?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
It was kind. I don't know if that's what it looks, but.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Still, am I right? I'm right you are. I needed
to illustrate that. Hear that's right, because that's how as
jarring as it is to hear. Imagine how jarring it
is when you're a second grader and you open up
a book at school and it features two dudes, Well
you get the idea or a girl who's pretending to

(06:12):
be a boy. And I don't even want them learning
about like regular straight, you know, sex. I don't want
them learning about that when they're that young. That's something
for parents to determine, and it needs to be in
the context that parents choose. You cannot just ambush little
bitty kids with sexually explicit, inappropriate material. That has nothing

(06:34):
to do with religious exercise, That has nothing to do
with whether or not a parent disagrees or agrees with it. It
has to do with whether or not you think exposing
children to sexually explicit material constitutes as a form of abuse,
which I do. I mean, what, why are strangers so
obsessed with showing kids pictures of people having sex? Because

(06:55):
all of these books that are being discussed in Maryland,
in this Maryland, in case, every one of them does that.
If you were into supermarket and some stranger was trying
to show your kid pictures of people having sex, you
would call the cops. So why is it any different
without your permission in a school setting. That's the whole point,
That's what we're all asking. That's the that's the whole point.

(07:15):
I mean, it's it's an elementary school kids. I'm not exaggerating.
These are little kids. Goodness, When I when I was
a little kid, I thought that literally a stork brought children,
giant bird brought children. Yeah, I don't know when I
stopped believing that, but I know, I just remember when
I was younger, that was the story, and that's the

(07:37):
kind of age that these kids are, and even older,
like I still think even if it's in junior high
or high school, because these these these books that they're
talking about, they're not educational books. Their political expression. It's
not a book that talks about the uh, you know,
clinical attributes of this or that. It's it's a book
that it's literally for the purpose of uh, really glorifying,

(08:05):
not even glorifying, that's not the right word. It's like
egregious sexual exploitation. And they're trying to pass it off
as being educational to like first and second and third graders.
That's it doesn't matter where your politics are. I think
that everybody would be like, yeah, that's really inappropriate for kids.
It's inappropriate for junior high kids. Because here's the other issue.

(08:26):
Not every educator is the same, and you might have
some of the stuff presented to kids in a really
inappropriate or inarticulate way. And I mean with some of
the stuff you're playing, I mean that's just that's not
educational and that's brainwashing, and it's just it has nothing
to do with education. I don't even understand it. Doesn't matter.
Parents have the final say. I think parents have the
final say all the way up until their kids are eighteen.

(08:48):
Parents have the final say. So this is not an
argument over battling people over material that they may agree
or dis agree with in a classroom. It is about
whether or not you think that sexually explicit material is
age appropriate for kids in school, like explicit stuff. One

(09:12):
of the books that was in the library down the
road from US, I mean it's a junior high library
showed oral sex graphic multiple pages, and one of the
pages it was just that, like someone actually drew it,
shaded it in, you know, put all the sense one
full page showing just that, and a thirteen year old

(09:35):
pulled it off the shelves. How is that educational? You
tell me that's just It's just it's a sexual fetish
and they're demanding gratification at the expense of your children's innocence.
I think that if you're pushing these books on kids.
I don't say this as a talking point. I don't

(09:55):
say this as a SoundBite. I don't say it to
be inttionally provocative. I with a thousand percent of my
soul believe that if you are pushing these this type
of material in kids. I think that you might actually
be a pedophile, because only pedophiles do stuff like that.
That's how bad the stuff in these books is. It's

(10:17):
not even you can't even say it's a sophisticated graphic novel.
I mean there's literally some adult drew pictures of children
participating in oral sex and they put it in this book.
I am not minors. I'm not kidding you. Again, you're
in the supermarket and somebody is like, heypes to your kid,
wants to show them nudy pictures. You would call the cops,

(10:40):
but in school it's okay. And then because at school
they're telling you you have no right to object to it.
That's insane. That has nothing to do with political disagreement,
better to do with a religious disagreement. That is age
inappropriate period. So why are I mean it is people

(11:02):
aren't wrong when they say okay, groomer, because that's exactly
what this is. You're you're desensitizing people to this stuff
at that age. It's just like, why don't you go
ahead and sit them in front of a television and
have them watched porn. Same thing. It's literally the same thing.
Why don't you just bring in one of those this
TVs on the wheels and just show them some porn.

(11:25):
I mean, you wouldn't do that in school, or you
wouldn't you wouldn't do that anywhere else. But that's like
the level of what they're trying to do in school.
It's pornographic, and pornographic is well, that's like the least
that you could say about it. Yeah, if you're if
you set your kids in the living room and show
them porn, you would be arrested, Your kids would be
taken away from you, you would be arrested. But they're

(11:49):
wanting to do just that in schools with young kids.
That's not a stretch. Because I've looked at these books.
I can't even in fact, I had we had managements
us an email saying we cannot show any of these images. Uh.
And I can't even describe them any more than I
have for radio airwaves because I'll get fined, not kidding.

(12:14):
And uh, if we show the images on the digital stream,
our videos will get taken down on YouTube because they
file it's a porn if they call it pornographic material,
literally they call it pornographic material and they will pull
your video down if you show images of books that
they are putting in kids libraries. That's how bad this

(12:34):
stuff is. So you don't even I've seen some of it,
and that's why, I mean, I was left speechless and
disgusted because and I've listened to these parents, like some
of the parents in Maryland. I mean, one of them
was a one of their kids. They were it was
a mother of a second grader. I was like, what
purpose does this serve? You're exploiting our children. It honestly,

(12:57):
it's a way to pray on kids. I just I
can't even deliver entertaining this as a serious discussion. It's
just it's just crazy, absolutely crazy. For our partners that

It's time for Data's quick five.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
All right. First up, apparently they're trying to dim the
sun over in Britain. Yeah, so this is from I
don't know, I guess you can. I mean, this is
I saw a joke about this the other day and
I thought it was I thought this story. I've ignored
it because I thought it was fake. And hmm, it's not.

(14:25):
So they're doing they say it's for climate change, that
they're trying to help the Earth for climate change. That's
the whole, that's that's the thing. So they're wanting to
dim the sum, dim the sun and their experiments it's
to fight global warming. And in Britain they're gonna get
they're gonna get the go ahead in weeks. So they're

(14:47):
going to screw with the environment, to stop humans from
screwing with the environment. What it doesn't make any sense,
but that's you know, it's Britain and they're run by socialists,
So I don't know, say what think we will? A
single psychedelic dose shows a cognitive boost lasting weeks. What
do you mean by like psychedelic? Is that like like

(15:09):
hippie stuff, like like acid and mushrooms and all that.
Listening to me talk about drugs is legit, Like listen,
it's worse than listening to Biden talk about guns. I
have no idea what I'm talking about drugs. I just know,
like you know, I know what. Some of my family
members grow out in the woods in southern Missouri, and
I know I'm joking on am I And I also,

(15:32):
you know, I know what you know the hippies have done, right,
I mean I watched Days and Confused, So it's like
everybody else when I was growing up. So they said
that long lasting effects suggests psychedelics promote meaningful, enduring changes
in brain plasticity and they can treat depression PTSD in Alzheimer's.
This isn't actually anything new. I have a really good friend,
actually a group of very good friends who are combat

(15:54):
veterans who they tried. They were tired of all of
the side effects from heavy perscrips, some medication to deal
with after they came back from combat, and they did
psychedelics under doctor's guidance and it just changed their lives.
It absolutely changed their lives. China is planning a nuclear
power plant on the Moon. Unfortunately all of their stuff

(16:14):
is made in China, so they'll never get there. So
we have a lot more on the way stick with us.
Can we talk about one other bits and pieces? What
did you do? Steve? Did this? I have to address
it now. I feel like before you you know, I'm
not getting into like entertainment gossip or anything like that.
I hate that stuff. But I do think that this

(16:37):
is sort of symbolic of the grifter culture. That Ginger
who came over here and tried is trying to be
Prince of Montecito. What's his face? Harry Ginger? And then
his wife who was on that game show. She had
like a d list role on some Canadian sitcom and

(16:57):
I don't know was she on like one season. I
don't know, nobody ever watched it, Nobody who she was
until she started dating Despair right from the UK. So
that Megan mark ole lady. She is doing a cooking
show on Netflix and I've never seen I only watched
five seconds of it, and I thought she was gonna
cut her wrist by trying to zest a lemon. This

(17:19):
girl has never been in the kitchen in her life.
She has no idea how to do basic things. You
can look when somebody's chopping at vegetables or if they're
doing basic things, you can tell if they've cooked or not.
I mean, she was just like with a di zester
using this you're support. I was dying. I was like,
she's gonna cut herself. Watching her put stuff in a
hot pot and then having long hair hanging all over

(17:40):
the food. It was just so gross and so audio
nunbody twenty one. Steve wants to torture me. She didn't
make the Times list of cool people, but she did
get invited there because her agency probably bought her access.
I have to play this. This is one of the
goofiest things ever. Palate cleanser. Go ahead, Steve kill.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Us to be talking about for Time one hundred.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Let's talk about flower sprinkles.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
But let's because I think it speaks to the tiny
moments of joy that are so effortless and just create
a little bit of magic that we're all craving.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
What in the hell word, solad is this little flower.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Petals that are dried. I started putting them on salads.
I started putting them on scrambled eggs. It didn't actually
matter on a yogurt parfect.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I feel like she saw me used a charm that
you find people have when they see these tiny, little
dried petals.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
It's something I can't fully wrap my head around, but
I appreciate that there.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Is a lot of this is people who have this
sort of elocution are so incredibly fake. So you're I'm
elevating it by putting dried flower petals on all of
my food and just you know it, just cane. It
adds a little bit of magic, you know, it elevates things. Okay,

(18:58):
let's talk about I'm gonna be mean for a minute
and bear with me. You got that image right one
mm hmm. Let's talk about the linen outfit sidebar you're
gonna I had to look. I had to listen to JB.
Prisker and read an article about JB. Prisker. You're gonna
give me those, So first up, let me go into
total chick mode. All my ladies out there gonna appreciate this.

(19:19):
I get it that. Uh, there's this like beach casual
esthetic that permeates Californian culture. I think when you're showing
up to an awards event. Linen is a great material.
I love linen. It's breathable, it doesn't really matter if
it's wrinkled, but you don't. And it can be baggy
but not too baggy. Right, these pants, I want to

(19:41):
burn them. When you're short waisted, you don't wear high
waisted pants, and you don't wear grandma's drapes as trousers.
It's too long, it's too wide leg it's it emphasizes
the wrinkles. It drags the ground to the point where
your pants are dirty. Please, dear Heavens, if you want

(20:02):
to elevate something, elevate your influence so that you don't
have to buy off the rack, and designers will give
you their stuff so you don't have to walk out
looking like a t MoU version of Kate Middleton. Please
Dear Heavens. Okay, I'm done. I got it out of
my system. You were you had no idea what was
happening there, did you? Because you're a man, rightfully, so

(20:25):
you just can't wear big, baggy stuff like that. I
mean the jacket was baggy, the shirt was everything can't
be baggy. Pick one thing. I don't get it, but this,
it's just grifterism. She's not on the list. Why was
she there? Oh? Because her agency probably bought her access.
Probably Netflix. They're desperate and promoting at boondoggle that they

(20:45):
call a cooking show where she makes like somebody got
like a chemical burns from her homemade salt scrub. I mean,
it's the stupidest stuff ever. People are broken. She's like,
let's make candles. Shut up, let's like be able to
afford eggs. Not everybody was lucky and had a daddy
that worked in Hollywood that paid for your schooling and

(21:06):
paid for you to have access to all of this.
And then you consider marrying above your station to be
female empowerment while also pretending to be duchess in a
country that does not recognize nor give rats ask for
such titles. Spare me good, Heavens, she's the one who
chartered a fly a private plane to fly down in
Texas when they had the school shooting and have a

(21:28):
camera crew, video videotaper Lain Flowers, and then she went
back up a stunt unbelievable.
