for Florida man.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
I don't want to open I don't want to open
this link. Oh my gosh, you know what it is.
Don't give me these stories. A Florida man was jailed
for punching a dog in the face and hanging her
from the leash. Uh And it was, Oh no, I
don't want to watch it. Oh my gosh, don't show
me that this stupid AutoPlay. Donald Arthur stickens the third
twenty four s T I c K E N S.

(00:37):
Donald Arthur of Martin County entered the hallway of an
apartment hanging a nine year old Golden Retriever from a
leash before punching her in the head and body several times.
And this isn't the first time the dog was seized, thankfully,
but the dog indoored compromise airway due to hanging by
the leash, had blunt force trauma from six blows to
the head. Humane Society of the Treasure Coast took the dog.

(00:59):
She was since she was returned to Sticken's Girl for
a newt told deputies. She's no longer in contact. He
was arrested in charge with felony animal cruelty on fifty
five thousand dollars bond. He's also behind bars from drug
chargers and tampering with evidence. And I volunteer. I will
pay my own way. I'll deal with them for you.
I will do it for free on behalf of Florida taxpayers.
I will. I'll supply all of my own tools and implements.

(01:22):
I'm not saying what would happen, just saying, you know, yeah,
I'll take care of that for free for Floridians. Happily, Happily,
I will. A man was arrested after he impersonated a
security guard to get into a Taylor Swift concert good Night.
He was arrested and accused of trying to gain entrance

(01:44):
into her concert that jailed at hard Rock Stadium. Forty
four year old Ivan Marriotti has been charged with falsely
impersonating an officer and interference with the sporting or entertainment
event and Miami Day Police said they were notified about
a thirty PM by actual security that there was a guy.
It was this dude dressed in a suit wearing a
badge over his neck and he was trying very very

(02:06):
hard to look legit, and he like literally he said
he was hired by four women to work as a
security guard, and he escorted them onto the property into
their seats, and he said he didn't have a ticket.
He got into the venue because he was part of security.
He claimed to work for Saint Security, and his story
kept changing, and he asked they asked him to name
his clients. And they spoke with two women who said
their aunt hired them a driver for the evening, but

(02:28):
they said that she did not know why their driver
had a badge and she had a driver and out
a security guard and so he was placed in correct,
he's still there. He's on fifteen hundred BOMD, but he's
on an immigration hold because he's an Italian national. So
I don't know it. It's that seems sus right, It's weird.
Why you gotta be doing that, Like, I don't know,
I don't know. Let's see. A Florida woman was arrested

(02:49):
for instructing to child a child to murder an infant
through worldblocks what Jesus? Thirty six year old woman was arrested.
She was engaged in aggravated child abuse. She got on,
she got She instructed a ten year old to drop
a two month old on a solid tiled floor in
an attempt to kill the baby. They were contacted by
the Gulf Coast Kid's House about a two month about

(03:12):
authorities were after a two month old infant suffered serious
injuries after the ten year old drop them on the floor.
They said the ten year old was communicating with the
woman through roeblocks. Oh my gosh, I'm telling you what.
This is crazy. They said They've never seen anything like this,
according to the law enforcement and it was truly disturbing.

(03:32):
And unfortunately they said she did the ten year old
did follow up on it, and so they arrested this woman.
She's you couldn't be in the pokey for a while,
but good night. Horrifying. Watch what your kids do. Our

fifteen tried at the range today. Tell them Dana Sen

(04:37):
you AOC is livid. Still she's one of the people
very upset over that McDonald's visit. Still still all these flavors,
all these flavors, and she chooses salty fifteen.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Donald Trump putting on a little McDonald's costume. He thinks,
that's what people.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Do, That's what they do.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
They're not trying to empathize with us. They are making
fun of us. They are making fun of us. Donald
Trump thinks that people who work at McDonald's are a joke.
Elon Musk, they said, dangling money in front of a
working person is a cute.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Thing to do. Oh, I mean what? Okay, I can't
get there the rest of this. What the hell do
you think your policies are? What an Oh my gosh,
the irony is so thick you'll choke to death on it.
What do you think democrat policies are? The irony of
being a democrat, a Marxist Democrat standing up on the
stage and accusing someone like Elon Musk of dangling money

(05:42):
in front of the working man. What the hell do
you think you're doing with your twenty thousand dollars to
buy a house? What the hell do you think you're
doing with your money towards certain working class people of
a specific skin color. What do you think that you're
doing when you sit here and you try to bait
people with or you try to give people entitlements, or

(06:02):
you want to pay taxpayer funded trans surgeries, taxpayer funded
elective abortions money free college? What the hell do you
think that was free college education that you're marketing that
actually the working class pays for that. You're a lying
and saneness for the working class. But the same people
that you're saying that would take advantage of it are
actually the only ones paying for it, because it's all

(06:24):
going to your grad school stooges. I mean, the irony
of getting up there and saying that while you you
have just patented dangling cash in front of working people
when you're taking it out of their back pocket. I mean,
it's truly stunning the fact that certain people in this
country in twenty twenty four lacks such a self awareness

(06:47):
when there's so many ways to develop it within oneself
is truly just chef's kiss, it really is. And the apron,
you realize that they all wear aprons at McDonald's right,
that if it's not a uniform, then it's an apron.

(07:07):
The former president was wearing an apron, because that's what
one does. Tell me that you don't know anything about
the working class without telling me you don't know anything
about the working class. He puts on it. She called
it a costume. Is that what she thinks uniforms are costumes?

(07:29):
I guess she was fortunate and that when she was
slinging drinks at whatever you know dive bar in Manhattan,
that she didn't have to wear a uniform, But I
dare say that it's not costplay. And by the way,
if it was so serious and such a thing to
be celebrated and respected, then pray, tell why didn't you
show up? Why didn't your candidate show up? She was

(07:54):
the one who made a big deal if you want
to talk about a costume of putting on the McDonald's
uniform or saying that she did back in nineteen eighty
three without any shred of evidence. And yes, this is
the time when if you're going to use that as
a way to under or to diminish your very privileged
background and make it seem like you're more of the people,

(08:16):
and that you make a big deal out of it,
not once, not twice, not three times, but several times,
and you make it actually kind of a focus of
your campaign. Then yeah, you don't get to act defended
when someone says prove it. You don't get to act
up set when someone says, oh, you you've said repeatedly
that you've worked at McDonald's. McDonald's can't provide any evidence.

(08:39):
The New York Times didn't find anything. Now we all know.
And I can tell who on X works and who doesn't.
And I can tell all the progressives that are defending this,
and they're saying, well, I didn't keep pay stubs from
whatever my first job. Oh that's precious. Have you heard
of a thing called social security? I mean, tell me
that you've never worked with a Tell you've never works.

(09:00):
I'm basically talking to people on welfare who have enough
money to probably have the newest Apple phone in her
own ex all day lamenting the fact that Kamala Harris
is being asked to prove the things that she's claiming
on the campaign trail. Kel HORRORR. But social Security actually
tracks all of this. You know, you have to take
stuff out for FIKA. They're tracking all of this. They
know whether or not you've worked at McDonald's or not.

(09:23):
And I just think, you know, it's probably not such
a big deal for Kamala Harris to provide a screenshot
stating such I mean, that would shut everybody up immediately.
But you know what she could have done too. She
could have just gone to a McDonald's. She could have
preempted Trump. Anyone from a mile away could have seen
this coming. You knew he was going to do this,
but she just she's she's got the day off today,

(09:46):
didn't Trump remark on this? Kane, Yeah, let's get that
ready because she I don't know what she took the
day off today. I mean, it's only like less than
two weeks out from the election. She needs a break
cause she's gonna go to Biden's Delaware beach house. I mean,
where does one like Tamala hars go when she wants
to take a day off. She's got a day off
from campaigning? Guys. Yeah, this is what Trump had to
say about it.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I was going to hit her really hard on the
trail today, but now I don't have to because she's off.
She's off now I can't get home for it. Who
the hell takes off? You have fourteen days left, and
she'll take a couple of more days off too. You
know why, she's lazy as hell, and she's got that reputation.
She's a radical left lunatic. She's further left than Bernie

(10:29):
Sanders or Pocahontas now Pocahontas, because I think is Pocahontas
Rick is Pocahontas further left than Bernie? Just about right,
It slows, it slows. Fuit Hell cares right. Rick says
in I don't know, but they're out there, but she's
she's the furthest left.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
In Florida and they're holding it was what a Latino
like round table or summit where he's talking with voters
out there and you know he's you know, she's. I
don't Why do you have to Why do you have
to take the day off? Who does that? Two weeks
out from an election, Bruce Springsteen is headlining. She's having

(11:10):
a big rally in Atlanta. Bruce Springsteen is headlining. Jeez,
I here's where I'm torn. I'm not going to be
ignorant to you just because you have a different opinion
than I do. You can be wrong, and you are

(11:32):
completely free to be so wrong. I may express concern
when your horrible logic imperils you or your family, and
I may, you know, possibly offer a you know, maybe
suggest an alternative, just suggest. But I'm not going to
hate you. I'm not going to judge you. Well, I will.

(11:53):
I'm gonna judge you for being wrong, but I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna be mean to you. But if
you're mean, then it's like I was born to be
mean back and I will be meaner. And it's not
anything I take pride in. It is not a virtue.
It is absolutely a fault. It is a thorn in
my side that I have been given to deal with
for this life. But I'm saying this because I'm torn

(12:16):
on Bruce Springsteen. He's not a jerk about it, but
he almost is right right, He's like not a jerk.
He's not like Green Day, who's horrible by the way,
and their music makes people sterile. He's not like green Day,
but he's right up there and also shut up like

(12:38):
you want to talk about Cosplaine as the working man?
What has he been doing for his whole career? Right?
I don't know. He's playing ooh, he's playing this event
in Atlanta. Is Lizzo going to twerk at it? Remember
she was going to be there or she was at
one event and she had her dancers and they were
all there and it's just so family friendly. Uh, I

(13:02):
don't know. Maybe they're gonna lie sat Beyonce's gonna show
up and she'll never show up. That was That was
also Chef's Kiss. They've already had one point six million
Georgians cast their ballots. Already, Democrats are trying to pump
up the early turnout in Georgia. According to a JC,
it's a He's headlining a Kamala Harris rally in Gwynett

(13:23):
County on Thursday? Is that really gonna play well there?
Who's she going after with Bruce Springstein? Think about it?
Who's she going after with Bruce Springstein? I'm of all,
I'm made of questions about this. I mean, isn't he
Jersey number one? So? Does that play well down in

(13:44):
Georgia where my Georgian's at. I just I just don't
know if that plays well down there? Does it? I
just feel like yeah, I mean, I guess it's better
than James Taylor. I don't know. I don't dislike Bruce Springsteen.
There's like there's like a song of his that I

(14:05):
like a song. I just it's not my jam I'm
not gonna, you know, make fun of him or make
fun of you for does it not? If he's mean
Katie bar the door, if he gets up there and
says stupid stuff, then oh my gosh, yeah, let's let's
have at it. But I don't know. I just just
is weird, Like that's who you're using to go after.
D Okay, I don't know she trying to get like

(14:26):
what old white moderates is that if she's going after
I feel like at this point, if you're undecided, you're
staying home. You're not actually going to go out and vote.
If you're undecided at this point, you're but staying home.
Let's be real about it. I mean, how are you
that unengaged? At some point the responsibility falls on the
shoulders of the voters and those type of people. Yes,

(14:48):
you are not too damn busy to do that. I mean,
for crying out loud, the founders ran entire farms, and
they took care of their family and their parents, and
they they they didn't have the internet, they had nothing,
and they still did what they did and were aware
of everything. I feel like, you know, maybe people can
you know, hop on online or watch the teat to
kind of pay attention to some stuff happening out there.

(15:10):
If you're undecided, WTF why?

Speaker 2 (15:13):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
All right, here's a big, old long headline and a
weird old story here you go, ready. Tulsa suspect flees
police while clutching the snake and then was later found
with drugs and cash. Tulsa Police Department said early Thursday
morning of last week, a suspect led officers on a pursuit.
They were arrested trying to arrest a guy who was
clutching a python. The officers pulled the car over and

(15:42):
spoke to the driver, who would not provide them with
identification or insurance, and he said he was traveling, he
had a headlight out, and he said that wasn't a
crime excepting that kind of you can get a ticket
for it. And he held a small python during the stop,
and they said it wasn't a threatening situation, but they're like,
that was weird where you're driving literally with a snake,

(16:02):
like holding a snake. It's not you know, like an
actual physical like rattile, like why? And then he drove
off lad polation on a short chase through a nearby home,
bailed out, tried running away while holding the snake. They
arrested him, took him to the ground, arrested him. They
found oh ninety two grims of fentanyl, lots of cash.
He was arrested for eluding because he's a former he's

(16:23):
a convict, and so he's got felony convictions trafficking fentanyl,
drug possession, or obstruction, resisting arrest, operating to bogle, no headlights,
no driver's lissens, no insurance, and the snake was okay.
But he was released to a friend. And they don't
know if it's sad, if it experienced any anguish. I
can't believe it's an actual headline that I have, but

(16:43):
it's true. I Tulsa man's given Florida be in a
room for their money. Let's see, Oh I am not
reading this one. We'll talk about the cargoing Airborne. So
this was in Torrance, since California and out of control car.
This is a southern California when airborne flew through a
fence at a high school and torrent sday, Saturday afternoon,

(17:05):
landing right next to a football field mid game. It
was a jeep flew through the air landed upright on
the track right by where the game was on the field.
And they said the next thing people heard was a thud, thud,
and then a boom, and then they saw the fence
from the high school gone and a jeep there. Wow.
The video shows the driver's legs are tied up before

(17:25):
he's getting taken away in a stretcher. So, my goodness,
it's neither the driver nor anybody in the field sustained
any other like injuries. So good heavens. The world's oldest
paper boy retires at the age of eighty two, seven
decades into the job. He says there's nothing else left
to achieve. Good for him, see all tall dignity and work.

(17:47):
Have you noticed too, This is my favorite thing about voting.
When you're standing in line to go vote, as you
get it, do you know how people get like whirl
like not like aggressive or anything, but they're like going
to go perform this sacre action right Like they're going
like they're going into a holy vestibule. They're going to
go cast a vote, and they it's it's it's kind

(18:09):
of funny. And people would always say, don't take your well,
they have signs you can't take. I would. I get
real nervous about things not matching, so I would want
I like, I want to screenshot of what happened and
then what's on my ballots so I can compare in
case theess any kind of argument. That's me. I always
like to have like double backup, triple back up. But
it's very interesting. Then people go and everybody. I'm one

(18:31):
of the people that's like, I must have the sticker.
Are you a sticker person?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I haven't gotten it every time, but I've.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Been like this since I was eighteen years old.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
I realized the other the last time I voted in
the local election that I grabbed a sticker, put it
in my pocket. Then I went home and put it
on my dress, and I realized I already had another
sticker there, so I clearly don't care about the stickers.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, I'll say this too. It was funny because when
we when we moved here to Texas, it was in
twenty thirteen, and then I think it was fourteen where
it was midterm elections. I could have voted in Missouri
and Texas because Missouri messed up and tried to send me. Yeah,

(19:16):
I corrected it because I'm an honest person. But there
was one person in me that was like, let you
go back to Missouri. There was one little devil right there,
and I was like, wown't you go back. I'm not
gonna lie, you know, I corrected it. I did because
I'm an honest person. I corrected it. But I noticed

(19:37):
that some people's stickers in their area. I like looking
at the stickers that people get because some people's precincts
are like, really, fancy have you noticed this? Like they
like this. One person said they had special stickers for
the first day of voting, another set of special stickers
for the first week of voting, and then you get
like a different sticker if you voted the day of

(19:59):
Like what that is with that?

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Like?

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Where's because I am the person, I am the person
motivated some of you like this are like this share
this trait with me by stickers. So the book a thing,
the pizza hut book it thing back in school. I
just did it for the stickers, man, I did it
for the stickers and the pizza. I give me a book,
I'll read it. I just I did it all for
the stickers, the what, the stickers, the what. I did

(20:23):
it all like more than the pizza. I wanted to
have the most stickers by my name on the chart.
That is what that kind of stuff motivates me. Oh
and I did like I had so many they had
to put an extra piece of paper because I just
kept going and I got the pizza party. But then
I was like, I don't want to invite any you
damn kids, and my pizza party is all my pizza.
I invited like four friends. It was like, screw you all.

(20:45):
Y'all didn't help me in this. It was like the
meme of the mom that made a big made a
big feast for Thanksgiving, but she just wanted a picture
of her with the food and she's like, no, none
of y'all help. I was like, I'm not gonna invite
any y'all fools to my pizza. Only four, Only four
y'all can come. But I'm just saying now, I'm like

(21:07):
I want we don't have them fancy stickers. We just
have the I'm owned and those are nice, like don't
you know? But I'm just saying, like, how do you
get your precinct? Could do you just like have to
tell your precinct? Can we invest in some like fancier stickers?
Like why do they got to be so tweet like
I want them to be? So we have this thing here,
I'm gonna get back to the meat and potatoes of it.
How many of you out there know what a Texas

(21:29):
mom is? Can you know what Texas mom is? One?
You know what a Texas mom is? Oh yeah, Steve,
Do you know what a Texas mom is? Oh my gosh,
can you imagine Steve at a homecoming week seeing some
of these moms. It is ridiculous. So let me Texas moms.

(21:50):
It's not a flower, and I'm gonna bring this all
to the I'm gonna bring this tug bunt to shore.
So bear with me. It's not a flower. It's a
thing that I discovered that they do here in Texas.
And it is a big tradition. And so the boys
get one and the girls get a different the boys,
it's not when you go to the when you go
to homecoming, you don't just get a corsage. The boys

(22:10):
get an armband that's a little mom, and the girls
get a big, giant mom. And it started out as
like a homemade like a little flower that they would wear,
and then it turned into where they at bells and
whistles and lights, and it is as big as the girls. Now.
It is a big thing. And if you're a senior
in high school and you're a girl, then it has
to reflect your seniority status, right, And sometimes the biggest

(22:32):
ones are so they're so obnoxious. And the girls they
only wear them for one week. They don't wear them
to the dance. They only wear them for one week
and they are completely over the top and they wear
them all week and it's like a sign of and
you wear them if you've been asked to homecoming. The
boys got to get the girls the moms, and the
girls get the boys their arm horsages. And it's just
and I we got a couple of pictures. It is

(22:54):
very much a Texas thing and yeah, we've had to
do the mom thing when they are not cheap. Now
what want is showing you? Oh yeah, she's probably a
senior because hers is bigger than her. This is normal.
This is normal here, this will all these girls wear.
It's normal she's a senior because she has all light colors.

(23:16):
And they usually wear like silver or pastels, and it's
like as big as they are, they gon' wear that
all week. They don't wear it to the dance, So
they wear to the homecoming game and that concludes it,
and then you know, they don't wear them anymore. And
then they have like trinkets on them, like if they're
in cheer, if they're in a sport, has their initials
on it. Some people go really over the top. The
reason I bring this up is because why can't my
I voted sticker be like that? I'm just saying I

(23:40):
want it big and gaudy. I'm a maximalist. We don't.
I do not allow the phrase, and I'm only going
to break my rule once to say it to illustrate
it for you. I do not believe in lessons more,
more is more, and I just want a big, giant
sticker that says I voted. If it has lights on it,
that's great. I mean, can we like, can we do

(24:02):
like an in ap purchase? I don't know, Like is
there a way? I just want something big and obnoxious,
you know? I because I know, especially if people around
town see me know who I am, and if they
see that I voted, they can feel sad because I
just canceled out their progressive vote. And I want that
to come through in my giant, obnoxious Texas Mom's size
I voted sticker. Is it too much to ask? See?

(24:25):
I feel like I'm asking for something small. I'm not
asking for a lot. I feel like I feel like
a what Charlie Brown's little sister Sally. I'm just asking
for what is THO to me? I'm just asking for
my share, Just saying thanks for tuning in to today's

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
