Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, here's a Florida mans story for you. This one's
about Florida woman. A Florida woman caught with drugs in
a bag labeled bag of drugs Saint Petersburg, Florida. A
Florida woman found herself behind bars after a traffic stop
yielded the discovery of several drugs stashed in saday bag
(00:35):
labeled bag of drugs. According to Florida Highway Patrol Lauren Riley,
forty one, Oh my gosh, really was arrested in charge. Yes, really,
she's forty one. Only forty one was arrested in charged
with the following after the incident that unfolded in Saint
Petersburg on Saturday. According to the arrest affidavit, in the
bag of drugs labeled bag of drugs, there was cocaine,
(00:58):
crack cocaine, methamphetamine, hydromorphone, alfarezolam amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia.
She was spotted in her vehicle not at the wheel,
without a seatbelt, rummaging around the passenger floorboard. According to
the affidavit, the tripper pulled the driver over and noticed
(01:19):
a small, used and burnt piece of tin foil and
a plastic straw in the car. Additionally, Riley was under
the influence of alcohol. She was also cited for having
an open container. According to Florida Highway Patrol. She was
asked to get out of the car for them to
conduct a probable cause search, and that's when the bag
(01:40):
of drugs was found inside of her purse. They also
found a metal spoon, four glass pipes with residue, plastic
baggies with white residue, a full needle, two straws, three
and a half grams of cocaine, two grams of crack cocaine,
one gram of crystal meth, pills of hydromorphone, bills of
(02:00):
amphetamine dextro amphetamine, and four and a half pills of
al ral preslam. She was taken into custody. She's been
released since then from the panelas County jail. So guys, remember,
if you have a bag of drugs, which I don't recommend,
don't label it bag of drugs. Okay, super simple, let's
not do that. Organized Well, I mean, yeah, I mean
(02:22):
she or you could say this is not a back
of drugs, right, and then you can be like Nope, no, Umm,
I need to do this one. I know we've got
I got a couple of others on my This one's
about okay, this is the diet Pepsi one Fox thirty five, Orlando,
a Florida woman was arrested for ignoring the Walmart band
(02:43):
in a search for her favorite diet pepsi. Say, deputies,
what do you do to get banned from Walmart? Kathleen Hagen,
sixty five, was arrested for trespassing after the incident that
unfolded at Walmart on July twenty fifth. She had an
active warrant out for her rest for failure to appear
for a previous petty theft. To the Affidavid, she knew
she had been banned, and she came anyway. Maryan County
(03:05):
Sheriff's Office said quote. Hagen claims she didn't think she
would be caught and that Walmart has this specific pack
of diet pepsi that she likes. They confirm the trespass
warning and she was taken in a Marrian County jail
where she's being held without Bond die.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
She did it all for Petsy.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I'm George, an economics major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President,
doctor Larry Arne with the Constitution Minute.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
The Decroation Independence is more than a bold letter to
a British king written by upstart columnists, although it very
much is that. The Decrotion explains the promise of America
that all men and women are born equal in their
possession of natural rights, and that the proper exercise of
these rights can lead to a full and deeply satisfying life.
Just as the Declrotion explains America's promise, the Constitution upholds
(03:56):
that promise. Its purpose is to protect the rights of
all of us, our natural rights. This establishes the possibility,
not the guarantee, that we can have a good life.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
This is true freedom.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
What was weird was this talking about diet mountain dew.
Who drinks diet mountain dew?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Who ever seen the guy laugh? And that seems very
weird to me, that that an adult can go through.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Six and a half years of being He literally never
said that, he that he was talking about it.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
He never said that. I mean, you know, I don't know.
That's the that's the Left.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
They got their talking points out, they got their talking points.
They were all told to say weird, so they all
get out there.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It was weird, Yes, it was weird. It was so weird.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Oh my goodness, we are so organic and talking about how.
Speaker 4 (05:42):

Speaker 1 (05:43):
It is very weird, over and over again. That's all
I'm hearing from these people. It was so weird.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
What's weird?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I mean, who decided to that's their That's how they
decided to hit back at JD. Vans as being the
VP and then just going for Republicans. They what did
they focus group something? Because this came out of nowhere.
By the way, first off, welcome back to the program.
(06:13):
Dana Lash here with you can listen Coast to coast
the simulcast, you can watch it. We're up at X
and Rumble. There's always a discussion at Rumble. I'm just
trying to figure out why.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I mean, they.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Focused they had to focus group this thing. Well, let's see,
let's call him weird. That's a great idea, Yes it is.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It's a great idea. We're gonna call him weird. So
they are they do?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They have like a thing where they got to say
it every time they do a hit, they gotta say
weird a million times.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It was weird. Yes, it was weird, and weird ended
he JD.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Vance for the last damn time was at a campaign
event when he was running for Senate and he literally
just pointed to a table that had Diet Mountain Dew
and he was like, there's snacks here, and he pointed out.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
The Diet Mountain Dew.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So the people who were making fun of Diet mount
aren't making fun of JD.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Vans. They're making fun of the people who were drinking.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Diet who provided snacks at this event, like the jerks
they are. These are the people who are like, Diet
Mountain Dew's weird, But you can go ahead and cut
off your penis and call yourself a woman.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That's totally not weird. Diet Mountain Dew's weird.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But you know the Nuclear Twink, the guy named Sam
Brinkman who put lipstick on his face like he was
just taught to do it and went out and stole
lady's luggage.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
That's not weird at all. No, the Republican Party is weird.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
But you know that one man, the man who has
an Adam's Apple and a Franken Bean's and he dresses
as a woman and he's like the Deputy Health and
Human Services Secretary and calls himself a woman.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, that's not weird, right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What about the time that the trans person who was
a dude that had breast in plants decided to go
topless on the White House lawn during some Pride Easter thing.
That's totally not weird. I mean, you know, when I
think of weird, I don't think of like diet, mountain dew,
or you know, even people like JD Vance or anybody else.
I think of the people who insist on having a
(08:02):
book called Gender Queer that literally shows strap ons, uh
huh yeah, and kids and that, and it's a graphic
novel and they.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Wanted your elementary school kids to read it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
That's weird, you know, if you want to have a conversation.
I mean, I could do this all day. I was
made to do this. I was made This is like
a war fit for me. I can we can do
this all damn day. Totally fine with that, but they
totally did freak out. And now they're like, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It's so weird. Can you believe how weird it is?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh my gosh, Like they just decided to focus group it,
and now they're all saying, you know the same thing,
it's the dumbest thing. You know, doctors and I have
even being able to define what a woman is but
also wanting to treat you.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
That's not weird. But oh my gosh, does that diet
Mountain deal? Why are you so weird? That's weird? Apparently
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (09:00):

But you having like what your diet Mountain do is weird.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It just seems kind of telling going out and telling
Black Americans are too stupid to get id to vote.
That's Democrat's favorite talking point. That's not weird and offensive,
But apparently Mountain Dietmond dou Is. George Takai twitchy had
this whole thing about George Takai, remember him, Like, what
does he do anymore? He's been annoying longer than he
(09:59):
ever was. Zulu right, So he was on Star Trek
at some point in his life, and he's just like
ridden that wave. And he says that, I mean, there
are photos that we can't show on air.
Speaker 4 (10:14):

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, what you just thought that's what they are?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
No, there's not You have to blur out the whole thing, Kate.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And there's a way you could describe it.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
There's naked dudes involved.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
There's no way you can show it.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
And he's like, on a stage.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
There's a way you could describe it.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Though, Uh, he's touching some dudes junk in the studio,
trying hard enough well, I mean, how do you describe that?
Tell me a great one? How is that?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Just?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
How do you describe it?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I got a job after years of medical school as
a proctologist, and I was.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Just doubling up on my exams.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I mean, if he were a medical doctor, it still
wouldn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I don't think that that's not how you check.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I think it's kind of how you do it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
No, that's not how you do it at all. What
kind of doctors are you going to?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
My friend?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh my gosh. So anyway, these are the people who
go saying everybody else is weird. They don't get to
do that because you're the weirdos. I mean, reinsist on
having men dressed as women shaking their asses in front
of your children, read them books in the elementary school.
That's not that's not weird. Oh my, oh gosh, you
(12:00):
have dive mountain, dude, that's weird. I could do this
all day long. I'm just saying, remember how it started.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We just want to be accepted. Yeah, well everything normal
is weird. Yeah that's where we are.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Oh my gosh, you got married and had a family,
and you work a job and pay your bills. You're
such a weirdo. I need to have the taxpayers take
off my penis. I'm not weird. I mean that's like,
that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I mean, you had a guy, the Nuke Twink who
stole Ladies luggage. He stole a black woman's luggage, a
black fashion designer's luggage. You based like she used like
African patterns and all this stuff. Her stuff was like
very very colorful and very tailor and all this and
he stole her stuff and warrant to award shows. He
(12:52):
stole her one of a kind jewelry.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Weird, that's not weird.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Now if he had died Mountain dew, don't even get
me started.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Jeez, that's it. But that's their whole thing. That is
their whole thing. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You had a bunch of dudes who did the white
dudes for Harris. It looked like a convention of child predators.
It's like the Braidy like they all put them in
the Brady Brady bunch boxes. Oh see, yeah, once getting
the picture of the chick, the two dudes who want
to be chicks, they're dudes. One's the Healthy Human Services dude,
and then the bald dude is the nuclear twink. Probably
(13:36):
not even his clothes he's wearing. He probably stole some
lady's luggage. Again, but hey, that's not weird. These two
dudes cost playing as women, that's not weird. But you
drink JD Vence drinking diet mountain dew? Oh my gosh,
can you play for me?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Hold up?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Uh, Molly Jong fast, I've mentioned her before. I don't
know who this chick is.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Her mom? Is her mom alive? Wait a minute, probably
know that Erica Jong is her mom? Yeah, she's alive.
She's a writer.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
He's famous is because of her mother. She's like a
NEPO baby. I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
She's on MSNBC. She goes into miss NBC. It's where
she's at.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
She's that they're going off on jd Vance. This is
like audio sound by to eleventy brillion thousand. Where's this
at twenty seven thousand?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Please?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Says that's for there more and more Americans choosing not
to have kids, which again emphasized why jd.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Vance comments about childless Americans childless caladies could be so
polically damaging.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Well, so, what's interesting is this is this natalism that
comes from an authoritarian playbook, right, that there need to
be more white children. Right, that's the idea that there's
you know, this is about great replacement theory racism, Right,
this is what this is. So don't misunderstand it. For
him wanting more children, he wants am.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I to assume you know that whatever jacked up her
hair also resulted in some sort of brain injury that
led her.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
To make such a deducement.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, Also, like what is up with the two tone
like skunk stripe that that was not even cool in
the nineties. Number one, Number two, he has literally biracial children.
You absolute talentless, hackneyed nepo baby. He has biracial kids.
He married an Indian woman. I mean, what's this chick done.
(15:26):
I literally don't know anything about her. Ah, Google's oh,
she's oh, hasn't done anything with her life. That's okay,
all right, there you go. I I just don't get it,
like she's she's literally and she is an absolute nepo
baby who's never really done anything. She I guess, never
got anywhere with her novels. So she decided to write
(15:47):
about politics, which is everybody who fails in Hollywood go
to politics. It's made up of two types of people,
the people who hate Hollywood and the people who failed
in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
And she's never really that's kind of it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
She's never really done anything, and so she's I guess,
like going off. I mean, she even said that her
nanny raised her, so I don't know, she just you know,
she has a weird worldview. But she's an NEPO baby.
To hear her out there at saying that he a
guy who has like biracial kids, wants like a what
what is this? Even? What is their fascination with us?
(16:22):
They're the ones who constantly talk about this. They're the
ones who are like, oh my gosh, can you see
these They the Republicans are so worried about and they
talk about great replacement theory, and they're the only people
who talk about it when they're not talking about how
the only reason they want open borders is so they
have people to pick their fruit and clean their toilets.
That's exactly what they say. You had what's his face?
Who's that one little chonky guy? She's in the house,
(16:44):
you know, Nadler. Yeah, I'm not going to tell you
the mnemonic device that I utilized to remember his name. Uh,
you know what it is, Kane, That's that's what anyway,
Guys couldn't read my lips on that one. For the simulcast,
I don't know. I someone goes. I don't even know
(17:05):
who Miley junk Fast is or her mother. I guess
I'm a weird. I know you're a normal person who
doesn't like to read crap literature or stuff that they
call literature but really isn't anything.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So coming up, I'm not watching the Bread and Circus games.
Have you guys been watching the Bread and Circus Games?
I haven't been watching them. But if there were more
stories like this dude whose name I can't pronounce, if
there were more stories like this dude on the pommel
horse that I'm going to talk about coming up, then
I think that, you know, we would all be inter
and if people could just make it about sports and
not try to politicize every single aspect of your pathetic,
(17:36):
miserable life like the people putting on the Olympics, then
maybe people would want to watch it. Bread and Circus

Speaker 2 (18:50):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We're having a problem with the geese in Canada, Canadian geese.
And it's apparently but they say Canada geese, they don't
say Canadian geese. That's like a thing I don't know,
but whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
They said.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When nesting, they become aggressive and they rush at passerby
and they hiss and all that stuff, and they're big,
powerful birds and they're like really terrifying. And in Canada
they're grappling with this. A number of cities, including Ottawa
and Toronto, they literally have to have goose management plans.
The cities reported up to a fifty percent reduction of
(19:27):
geese after the strategies were implemented, and they said that
they're a major problem for farmers and anybody that has
like well maintained grass.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
But they said that they're using noisemakers and like lasers and.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Dogs to scare away the geese.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
But apparently, like the like the geese will rush and
attack you, like they said that they have been it
has been such a problem in these towns that like,
people are actually getting injured and all kinds of stuff.
My other thought is can.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You eat them? Okay? So why is that another thing?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'm just saying. I don't know, but they're having a
problem with a Canada geese. Not Canadian geese, that's Canada.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Do I care?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, Let's see this an Olympics. The Olympic athlete didn't
want to shake hands with Israeli rival paid the price
in some pretty awesome karma.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
It was obviously the Paris.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Games and the Tajikistan fighter faced off against an Israeli
fighter and then the Israeli fighter, I mean, he would
not shake the Israeli opponent's hand and walked off the
mat in Paris and you're supposed to and apparently the
guy was yelling allah akbarto. And then later on he
(20:46):
got a shouldered down.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
You're ripped out of his body. He had a dislocated
shoulder and was left in tears on the mat. All well,
a great because he took on in the he.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Japanese fighter and that guy dislocated as oh sad tears.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
All right, let's see this.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
New York police arrested a man found asleep with a
gun in his pants and a subway station and Southern
California police fleet fleet is nation's first to go all electric.
That sounds super safe. I'm sure, yeah, stick with us.
Have you been watched have you watched any of the
Bread and Circus?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Kane?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Just the women's rugby. I saw that. I was like,
that's actually pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Well, there's I haven't been watching a lot of the Bread.
I haven't watched any of the Bread and Circus. I've
like seen clips here and there, just because I'm just
not I it aggravates me because, you know, I expected
the opening ceremony to be weird because it's the French,
you know. And then you know, you had the whole
thing with the Last Supper and everyone was saying that
it was the last Supper.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I don't know why everyone has a.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Hot take that's to the contrary of what the actual
people who choreographed it, organized it and produced it said
in multiple interviews and on video. But you know, there
it is. I haven't really watched a lot of it
or any of it. I mean the first is I
think it's ridiculous that you have these boxers dudes who
are competing is with in women's boxing, and they have
(22:11):
transgender boxers that have been cleared to fight in the
Paris Olympics, one of out from Algeria, another from Taiwan,
and they land pretty heavy punches on the chicks. They
get into the ring and they beat the hell out
of these women, and you know, they the force of
the punch is clearly evident. And I don't know how
any female would feel comfortable walking into a ring with
(22:33):
a guy who went through puberty as a male, lived
his whole life as a male, and then decided to
turn into a female, and you know, has a completely
different bone density and muscle makeup than you do. And
all the women fighters who have stepped up to these
dudes who are like, I am out of my depth
and it feels like I'm out of my depth.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
They hit harder they're I mean, And that's.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
One of the women who fought I think the Algerian
male who's competing as a woman. I was in Mexico
and it was on video showing how hard this guy hit,
and that female boxer said quote when I fought with him,
I felt very out of my debt. The blows hurt
me a lot, and I've never felt like that my
thirteen years as a boxer, and I thank god I
(23:17):
got out the ring safely. And it's good that they
finally realized so that because they were demanding tests to
check there.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
You know all of this.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I can't take the Olympics seriously. When you allow men
to compete in women's sports, I can't. And that's where
you know they immediately they lose me with this stuff.
They don't make it about the sports. They decide to
politicize everything. The only really cool story that I've seen
so far has to do with this guy who was
on the US men's Olympics gymnastics team. How do you
say his last name, Stephen Nedar is sick?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Sick. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So he's twenty five years old, but he looks way younger.
And this has been the only video that I've watched
of it that this is his. If you're watching the simulcast,
he does one thing. He does the pommel horse routine.
He is and I don't use this as a Pejordan.
This is how his friends describe him. He's a nerd.
He's from Massachusetts. He's a total dork. He on his
(24:11):
free time was videotaping himself putting a Rubik's cube together
and in like what under a minute or something like that,
something crazy timing himself doing it. And he was there
on the sidelines, handing his team mates water and clapping
for them, and he was there to do one thing. Now,
the men have not meddled since eight and so they
(24:34):
brought him there.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Because he just is he is all out.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
When it comes to pommelhorse, but he wouldn't know it.
He's got his glasses on and he sits there and
he's very unassuming. And so he was their ace. And
at the final routine, this is Monday's final, it was
a pommel horse, and again the men had not meddled
since two thousand and eight US Men's Olympics Gymnastics team.
(25:02):
And so this guy who has been you know, I mean,
he's good at other stuff, but he's you know, average,
you know, on maybe these other routines, but pommelhorse is
what he was born to do. It's like bane, I
was born in the darkness. So he gets up there,
takes off his glasses and kind of squints up at
the board right, and then he starts his routine. And
(25:25):
he just went all out on this routine and because
of his just spotless performance, was able to secure a
medal of bronze medal for the men's Olympic team. Without him,
they would not have meddled. He was the game changer.
He scored fourteen point eight to secure the medal for
his team. He just flawlessly executed all of the objectives
(25:50):
that he was supposed to because they will require certain
skill sets to be demonstrated. And people kept saying he's
like Clark Kent because he's wearing his glasses and people
don't know who this guy is. I mean, he's he's
studying electrical engineering. He's he was going to be in Tokyo,
but he apparently must have qualification for that. So he
he's going to go for pommel horse gold in the
(26:11):
individual event Saturday, but for the team final.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right before he went took the pommel horse, he saw
the Rubik's cube. In nine seconds nine seconds, he solved
the whole Rubik's cube.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
He's the first American gymnast in history to make the
Olympic team as a specialist in a single event.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So that's all he is.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
He's a pinch hitter, he is. That is his thing
and it's always been apparently a weakness for the men's
national team. And he went out there and he did
his one thing, and he did it so spectacularly well,
and I thought that that was like a great lesson
for just life in general, isn't it Like he looks
so unassuming, right, and you know, there's other events that
he probably can't do as well. I mean, he's not
(26:57):
He really can't be like a football player, and he
really couldn't be a hockey player. You know, he's, you know,
an average sized dude. You know, he looks very unassuming,
and he was prepared for a moment when that moment
called him. And that's kind of like an homage to
this Churchill quote who he'd always said, you know, you know,
(27:18):
pity the person who is not prepared for when fate calls.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And he was prepared and he was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And even if he had not been a standout and
all these other disciplines or in all these other athletic events,
this one was the one that he was really really
good at and he got to demonstrate that and secure
medal for his team. And I just thought that was
very very cool because it was all right, he was
He's a nerd, right, He was chilling in his nerd
lane doing his nerd stuff, doing his Rubik's cube, and
(27:45):
he goes out there and he does this thing and
Boomy aces it. Not everybody can be amazing at every
single thing, but some people can be amazing, really amazing
at one particular thing. And how sad would it be
if people gave that up in pursuit of greatness and
everything when they could really the one thing for which
they're called to do, they can go and they can
(28:06):
meet that challenge and then show up when, as Churchill
had said, you know the fates call.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
It's just a really great story.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
If all of the stories in the Olympics could be
like that, I think a lot more people would enjoy
watching it. And that's what it used to be like.
But everything has gotten so politicized. People have lost the
concept of unity, and I don't even think people know
how to want unity anymore.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
But then again, I don't know if I really want
unity with some of these people. If I'm being honest
with you, maybe we are too far gone. I don't know.

It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, here's a Florida mans story for you. This one's
about Florida woman. A Florida woman caught with drugs in
a bag labeled bag of drugs Saint Petersburg, Florida. A
Florida woman found herself behind bars after a traffic stop
yielded the discovery of several drugs stashed in saday bag
(00:35):
labeled bag of drugs. According to Florida Highway Patrol Lauren Riley,
forty one, Oh my gosh, really was arrested in charge. Yes, really,
she's forty one. Only forty one was arrested in charged
with the following after the incident that unfolded in Saint
Petersburg on Saturday. According to the arrest affidavit, in the
bag of drugs labeled bag of drugs, there was cocaine,
(00:58):
crack cocaine, methamphetamine, hydromorphone, alfarezolam amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia.
She was spotted in her vehicle not at the wheel,
without a seatbelt, rummaging around the passenger floorboard. According to
the affidavit, the tripper pulled the driver over and noticed
(01:19):
a small, used and burnt piece of tin foil and
a plastic straw in the car. Additionally, Riley was under
the influence of alcohol. She was also cited for having
an open container. According to Florida Highway Patrol. She was
asked to get out of the car for them to
conduct a probable cause search, and that's when the bag
(01:40):
of drugs was found inside of her purse. They also
found a metal spoon, four glass pipes with residue, plastic
baggies with white residue, a full needle, two straws, three
and a half grams of cocaine, two grams of crack cocaine,
one gram of crystal meth, pills of hydromorphone, bills of
(02:00):
amphetamine dextro amphetamine, and four and a half pills of
al ral preslam. She was taken into custody. She's been
released since then from the panelas County jail. So guys, remember,
if you have a bag of drugs, which I don't recommend,
don't label it bag of drugs. Okay, super simple, let's
not do that. Organized Well, I mean, yeah, I mean
(02:22):
she or you could say this is not a back
of drugs, right, and then you can be like Nope, no, Umm,
I need to do this one. I know we've got
I got a couple of others on my This one's
about okay, this is the diet Pepsi one Fox thirty five, Orlando,
a Florida woman was arrested for ignoring the Walmart band
(02:43):
in a search for her favorite diet pepsi. Say, deputies,
what do you do to get banned from Walmart? Kathleen Hagen,
sixty five, was arrested for trespassing after the incident that
unfolded at Walmart on July twenty fifth. She had an
active warrant out for her rest for failure to appear
for a previous petty theft. To the Affidavid, she knew
she had been banned, and she came anyway. Maryan County
(03:05):
Sheriff's Office said quote. Hagen claims she didn't think she
would be caught and that Walmart has this specific pack
of diet pepsi that she likes. They confirm the trespass
warning and she was taken in a Marrian County jail
where she's being held without Bond die.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
She did it all for Petsy.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I'm George, an economics major at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President,
doctor Larry Arne with the Constitution Minute.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
The Decroation Independence is more than a bold letter to
a British king written by upstart columnists, although it very
much is that. The Decrotion explains the promise of America
that all men and women are born equal in their
possession of natural rights, and that the proper exercise of
these rights can lead to a full and deeply satisfying life.
Just as the Declrotion explains America's promise, the Constitution upholds
(03:56):
that promise. Its purpose is to protect the rights of
all of us, our natural rights. This establishes the possibility,
not the guarantee, that we can have a good life.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
This is true freedom.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
To learn more and get a free pocket Constitution visit

Speaker 3 (05:08):
What was weird was this talking about diet mountain dew.
Who drinks diet mountain dew?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Who ever seen the guy laugh? And that seems very
weird to me, that that an adult can go through.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Six and a half years of being He literally never
said that, he that he was talking about it.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
He never said that. I mean, you know, I don't know.
That's the that's the Left.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
They got their talking points out, they got their talking points.
They were all told to say weird, so they all
get out there.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It was weird, Yes, it was weird. It was so weird.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Oh my goodness, we are so organic and talking about how.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Weird it was.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It is very weird, over and over again. That's all
I'm hearing from these people. It was so weird.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
What's weird?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I mean, who decided to that's their That's how they
decided to hit back at JD. Vans as being the
VP and then just going for Republicans. They what did
they focus group something? Because this came out of nowhere.
By the way, first off, welcome back to the program.
(06:13):
Dana Lash here with you can listen Coast to coast
the simulcast, you can watch it. We're up at X
and Rumble. There's always a discussion at Rumble. I'm just
trying to figure out why.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
I mean, they.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Focused they had to focus group this thing. Well, let's see,
let's call him weird. That's a great idea, Yes it is.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It's a great idea. We're gonna call him weird. So
they are they do?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
They have like a thing where they got to say
it every time they do a hit, they gotta say
weird a million times.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It was weird. Yes, it was weird, and weird ended
he JD.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Vance for the last damn time was at a campaign
event when he was running for Senate and he literally
just pointed to a table that had Diet Mountain Dew
and he was like, there's snacks here, and he pointed out.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
The Diet Mountain Dew.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So the people who were making fun of Diet mount
aren't making fun of JD.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Vans. They're making fun of the people who were drinking.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Diet who provided snacks at this event, like the jerks
they are. These are the people who are like, Diet
Mountain Dew's weird, But you can go ahead and cut
off your penis and call yourself a woman.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That's totally not weird. Diet Mountain Dew's weird.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But you know the Nuclear Twink, the guy named Sam
Brinkman who put lipstick on his face like he was
just taught to do it and went out and stole
lady's luggage.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
That's not weird at all. No, the Republican Party is weird.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
But you know that one man, the man who has
an Adam's Apple and a Franken Bean's and he dresses
as a woman and he's like the Deputy Health and
Human Services Secretary and calls himself a woman.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, that's not weird, right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What about the time that the trans person who was
a dude that had breast in plants decided to go
topless on the White House lawn during some Pride Easter thing.
That's totally not weird. I mean, you know, when I
think of weird, I don't think of like diet, mountain dew,
or you know, even people like JD Vance or anybody else.
I think of the people who insist on having a
(08:02):
book called Gender Queer that literally shows strap ons, uh
huh yeah, and kids and that, and it's a graphic
novel and they.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Wanted your elementary school kids to read it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
That's weird, you know, if you want to have a conversation.
I mean, I could do this all day. I was
made to do this. I was made This is like
a war fit for me. I can we can do
this all damn day. Totally fine with that, but they
totally did freak out. And now they're like, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It's so weird. Can you believe how weird it is?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh my gosh, Like they just decided to focus group it,
and now they're all saying, you know the same thing,
it's the dumbest thing. You know, doctors and I have
even being able to define what a woman is but
also wanting to treat you.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
That's not weird. But oh my gosh, does that diet
Mountain deal? Why are you so weird? That's weird? Apparently
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
People literally dropping deuces and needles all over the streets
in California not weird at all.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
But oh my.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Gosh, why are Republicans so weird? But the diamond do

But you having like what your diet Mountain do is weird.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It just seems kind of telling going out and telling
Black Americans are too stupid to get id to vote.
That's Democrat's favorite talking point. That's not weird and offensive,
But apparently Mountain Dietmond dou Is. George Takai twitchy had
this whole thing about George Takai, remember him, Like, what
does he do anymore? He's been annoying longer than he
(09:59):
ever was. Zulu right, So he was on Star Trek
at some point in his life, and he's just like
ridden that wave. And he says that, I mean, there
are photos that we can't show on air.
Speaker 4 (10:14):

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Because I respect your optic nerves. I'm not going to
show them to you, don't you dare Wand. Wand's like,
find them for find me them. He's like, look, I
can see what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (10:26):

So we're trying to protect Wand's purity and Wan it'll
be gone. Man, my dude, do not look this up

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, what you just thought that's what they are?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
No, there's not You have to blur out the whole thing, Kate.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And there's a way you could describe it.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
There's naked dudes involved.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
There's no way you can show it.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
And he's like, on a stage.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
There's a way you could describe it.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Though, Uh, he's touching some dudes junk in the studio,
trying hard enough well, I mean, how do you describe that?
Tell me a great one? How is that?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Just?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
How do you describe it?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I got a job after years of medical school as
a proctologist, and I was.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Just doubling up on my exams.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I mean, if he were a medical doctor, it still
wouldn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I don't think that that's not how you check.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I think it's kind of how you do it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
No, that's not how you do it at all. What
kind of doctors are you going to?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
My friend?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh my gosh. So anyway, these are the people who
go saying everybody else is weird. They don't get to
do that because you're the weirdos. I mean, reinsist on
having men dressed as women shaking their asses in front
of your children, read them books in the elementary school.
That's not that's not weird. Oh my, oh gosh, you
(12:00):
have dive mountain, dude, that's weird. I could do this
all day long. I'm just saying, remember how it started.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We just want to be accepted. Yeah, well everything normal
is weird. Yeah that's where we are.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Oh my gosh, you got married and had a family,
and you work a job and pay your bills. You're
such a weirdo. I need to have the taxpayers take
off my penis. I'm not weird. I mean that's like,
that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I mean, you had a guy, the Nuke Twink who
stole Ladies luggage. He stole a black woman's luggage, a
black fashion designer's luggage. You based like she used like
African patterns and all this stuff. Her stuff was like
very very colorful and very tailor and all this and
he stole her stuff and warrant to award shows. He
(12:52):
stole her one of a kind jewelry.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Weird, that's not weird.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Now if he had died Mountain dew, don't even get
me started.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Jeez, that's it. But that's their whole thing. That is
their whole thing. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You had a bunch of dudes who did the white
dudes for Harris. It looked like a convention of child predators.
It's like the Braidy like they all put them in
the Brady Brady bunch boxes. Oh see, yeah, once getting
the picture of the chick, the two dudes who want
to be chicks, they're dudes. One's the Healthy Human Services dude,
and then the bald dude is the nuclear twink. Probably
(13:36):
not even his clothes he's wearing. He probably stole some
lady's luggage. Again, but hey, that's not weird. These two
dudes cost playing as women, that's not weird. But you
drink JD Vence drinking diet mountain dew? Oh my gosh,
can you play for me?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Hold up?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Uh, Molly Jong fast, I've mentioned her before. I don't
know who this chick is.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Her mom? Is her mom alive? Wait a minute, probably
know that Erica Jong is her mom? Yeah, she's alive.
She's a writer.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
He's famous is because of her mother. She's like a
NEPO baby. I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
She's on MSNBC. She goes into miss NBC. It's where
she's at.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
She's that they're going off on jd Vance. This is
like audio sound by to eleventy brillion thousand. Where's this
at twenty seven thousand?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Please?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Says that's for there more and more Americans choosing not
to have kids, which again emphasized why jd.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Vance comments about childless Americans childless caladies could be so
polically damaging.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Well, so, what's interesting is this is this natalism that
comes from an authoritarian playbook, right, that there need to
be more white children. Right, that's the idea that there's
you know, this is about great replacement theory racism, Right,
this is what this is. So don't misunderstand it. For
him wanting more children, he wants am.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I to assume you know that whatever jacked up her
hair also resulted in some sort of brain injury that
led her.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
To make such a deducement.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, Also, like what is up with the two tone
like skunk stripe that that was not even cool in
the nineties. Number one, Number two, he has literally biracial children.
You absolute talentless, hackneyed nepo baby. He has biracial kids.
He married an Indian woman. I mean, what's this chick done.
(15:26):
I literally don't know anything about her. Ah, Google's oh,
she's oh, hasn't done anything with her life. That's okay,
all right, there you go. I I just don't get it,
like she's she's literally and she is an absolute nepo
baby who's never really done anything. She I guess, never
got anywhere with her novels. So she decided to write
(15:47):
about politics, which is everybody who fails in Hollywood go
to politics. It's made up of two types of people,
the people who hate Hollywood and the people who failed
in Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
And she's never really that's kind of it.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
She's never really done anything, and so she's I guess,
like going off. I mean, she even said that her
nanny raised her, so I don't know, she just you know,
she has a weird worldview. But she's an NEPO baby.
To hear her out there at saying that he a
guy who has like biracial kids, wants like a what
what is this? Even? What is their fascination with us?
(16:22):
They're the ones who constantly talk about this. They're the
ones who are like, oh my gosh, can you see
these They the Republicans are so worried about and they
talk about great replacement theory, and they're the only people
who talk about it when they're not talking about how
the only reason they want open borders is so they
have people to pick their fruit and clean their toilets.
That's exactly what they say. You had what's his face?
Who's that one little chonky guy? She's in the house,
(16:44):
you know, Nadler. Yeah, I'm not going to tell you
the mnemonic device that I utilized to remember his name. Uh,
you know what it is, Kane, That's that's what anyway,
Guys couldn't read my lips on that one. For the simulcast,
I don't know. I someone goes. I don't even know
(17:05):
who Miley junk Fast is or her mother. I guess
I'm a weird. I know you're a normal person who
doesn't like to read crap literature or stuff that they
call literature but really isn't anything.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So coming up, I'm not watching the Bread and Circus games.
Have you guys been watching the Bread and Circus Games?
I haven't been watching them. But if there were more
stories like this dude whose name I can't pronounce, if
there were more stories like this dude on the pommel
horse that I'm going to talk about coming up, then
I think that, you know, we would all be inter
and if people could just make it about sports and
not try to politicize every single aspect of your pathetic,
(17:36):
miserable life like the people putting on the Olympics, then
maybe people would want to watch it. Bread and Circus
twenty four. So we got that coming up. As we
get moving our partners and help bring you free radio.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We're having a problem with the geese in Canada, Canadian geese.
And it's apparently but they say Canada geese, they don't
say Canadian geese. That's like a thing I don't know,
but whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
They said.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When nesting, they become aggressive and they rush at passerby
and they hiss and all that stuff, and they're big,
powerful birds and they're like really terrifying. And in Canada
they're grappling with this. A number of cities, including Ottawa
and Toronto, they literally have to have goose management plans.
The cities reported up to a fifty percent reduction of
(19:27):
geese after the strategies were implemented, and they said that
they're a major problem for farmers and anybody that has
like well maintained grass.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
But they said that they're using noisemakers and like lasers and.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Dogs to scare away the geese.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
But apparently, like the like the geese will rush and
attack you, like they said that they have been it
has been such a problem in these towns that like,
people are actually getting injured and all kinds of stuff.
My other thought is can.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
You eat them? Okay? So why is that another thing?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I'm just saying. I don't know, but they're having a
problem with a Canada geese. Not Canadian geese, that's Canada.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Do I care?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
No, Let's see this an Olympics. The Olympic athlete didn't
want to shake hands with Israeli rival paid the price
in some pretty awesome karma.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
It was obviously the Paris.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Games and the Tajikistan fighter faced off against an Israeli
fighter and then the Israeli fighter, I mean, he would
not shake the Israeli opponent's hand and walked off the
mat in Paris and you're supposed to and apparently the
guy was yelling allah akbarto. And then later on he
(20:46):
got a shouldered down.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
You're ripped out of his body. He had a dislocated
shoulder and was left in tears on the mat. All well,
a great because he took on in the he.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Japanese fighter and that guy dislocated as oh sad tears.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
All right, let's see this.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
New York police arrested a man found asleep with a
gun in his pants and a subway station and Southern
California police fleet fleet is nation's first to go all electric.
That sounds super safe. I'm sure, yeah, stick with us.
Have you been watched have you watched any of the
Bread and Circus?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Kane?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Just the women's rugby. I saw that. I was like,
that's actually pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Well, there's I haven't been watching a lot of the Bread.
I haven't watched any of the Bread and Circus. I've
like seen clips here and there, just because I'm just
not I it aggravates me because, you know, I expected
the opening ceremony to be weird because it's the French,
you know. And then you know, you had the whole
thing with the Last Supper and everyone was saying that
it was the last Supper.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I don't know why everyone has a.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Hot take that's to the contrary of what the actual
people who choreographed it, organized it and produced it said
in multiple interviews and on video. But you know, there
it is. I haven't really watched a lot of it
or any of it. I mean the first is I
think it's ridiculous that you have these boxers dudes who
are competing is with in women's boxing, and they have
(22:11):
transgender boxers that have been cleared to fight in the
Paris Olympics, one of out from Algeria, another from Taiwan,
and they land pretty heavy punches on the chicks. They
get into the ring and they beat the hell out
of these women, and you know, they the force of
the punch is clearly evident. And I don't know how
any female would feel comfortable walking into a ring with
(22:33):
a guy who went through puberty as a male, lived
his whole life as a male, and then decided to
turn into a female, and you know, has a completely
different bone density and muscle makeup than you do. And
all the women fighters who have stepped up to these
dudes who are like, I am out of my depth
and it feels like I'm out of my depth.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
They hit harder they're I mean, And that's.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
One of the women who fought I think the Algerian
male who's competing as a woman. I was in Mexico
and it was on video showing how hard this guy hit,
and that female boxer said quote when I fought with him,
I felt very out of my debt. The blows hurt
me a lot, and I've never felt like that my
thirteen years as a boxer, and I thank god I
(23:17):
got out the ring safely. And it's good that they
finally realized so that because they were demanding tests to
check there.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
You know all of this.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I can't take the Olympics seriously. When you allow men
to compete in women's sports, I can't. And that's where
you know they immediately they lose me with this stuff.
They don't make it about the sports. They decide to
politicize everything. The only really cool story that I've seen
so far has to do with this guy who was
on the US men's Olympics gymnastics team. How do you
say his last name, Stephen Nedar is sick?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Sick. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So he's twenty five years old, but he looks way younger.
And this has been the only video that I've watched
of it that this is his. If you're watching the simulcast,
he does one thing. He does the pommel horse routine.
He is and I don't use this as a Pejordan.
This is how his friends describe him. He's a nerd.
He's from Massachusetts. He's a total dork. He on his
(24:11):
free time was videotaping himself putting a Rubik's cube together
and in like what under a minute or something like that,
something crazy timing himself doing it. And he was there
on the sidelines, handing his team mates water and clapping
for them, and he was there to do one thing. Now,
the men have not meddled since eight and so they
(24:34):
brought him there.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Because he just is he is all out.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
When it comes to pommelhorse, but he wouldn't know it.
He's got his glasses on and he sits there and
he's very unassuming. And so he was their ace. And
at the final routine, this is Monday's final, it was
a pommel horse, and again the men had not meddled
since two thousand and eight US Men's Olympics Gymnastics team.
(25:02):
And so this guy who has been you know, I mean,
he's good at other stuff, but he's you know, average,
you know, on maybe these other routines, but pommelhorse is
what he was born to do. It's like bane, I
was born in the darkness. So he gets up there,
takes off his glasses and kind of squints up at
the board right, and then he starts his routine. And
(25:25):
he just went all out on this routine and because
of his just spotless performance, was able to secure a
medal of bronze medal for the men's Olympic team. Without him,
they would not have meddled. He was the game changer.
He scored fourteen point eight to secure the medal for
his team. He just flawlessly executed all of the objectives
(25:50):
that he was supposed to because they will require certain
skill sets to be demonstrated. And people kept saying he's
like Clark Kent because he's wearing his glasses and people
don't know who this guy is. I mean, he's he's
studying electrical engineering. He's he was going to be in Tokyo,
but he apparently must have qualification for that. So he
he's going to go for pommel horse gold in the
(26:11):
individual event Saturday, but for the team final.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right before he went took the pommel horse, he saw
the Rubik's cube. In nine seconds nine seconds, he solved
the whole Rubik's cube.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
And uh.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
He's the first American gymnast in history to make the
Olympic team as a specialist in a single event.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So that's all he is.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
He's a pinch hitter, he is. That is his thing
and it's always been apparently a weakness for the men's
national team. And he went out there and he did
his one thing, and he did it so spectacularly well,
and I thought that that was like a great lesson
for just life in general, isn't it Like he looks
so unassuming, right, and you know, there's other events that
he probably can't do as well. I mean, he's not
(26:57):
He really can't be like a football player, and he
really couldn't be a hockey player. You know, he's, you know,
an average sized dude. You know, he looks very unassuming,
and he was prepared for a moment when that moment
called him. And that's kind of like an homage to
this Churchill quote who he'd always said, you know, you know,
(27:18):
pity the person who is not prepared for when fate calls.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And he was prepared and he was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And even if he had not been a standout and
all these other disciplines or in all these other athletic events,
this one was the one that he was really really
good at and he got to demonstrate that and secure
medal for his team. And I just thought that was
very very cool because it was all right, he was
He's a nerd, right, He was chilling in his nerd
lane doing his nerd stuff, doing his Rubik's cube, and
(27:45):
he goes out there and he does this thing and
Boomy aces it. Not everybody can be amazing at every
single thing, but some people can be amazing, really amazing
at one particular thing. And how sad would it be
if people gave that up in pursuit of greatness and
everything when they could really the one thing for which
they're called to do, they can go and they can
(28:06):
meet that challenge and then show up when, as Churchill
had said, you know the fates call.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
It's just a really great story.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
If all of the stories in the Olympics could be
like that, I think a lot more people would enjoy
watching it. And that's what it used to be like.
But everything has gotten so politicized. People have lost the
concept of unity, and I don't even think people know
how to want unity anymore.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
But then again, I don't know if I really want
unity with some of these people. If I'm being honest
with you, maybe we are too far gone. I don't know.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
