Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man, all right, all right,
usually this is like this. Sometimesthis is the sanest part of anything,
as the is our Florida Man,because everything else is so nuts.
(00:23):
All right, So first up here, I got a number of things.
I'm trying to get everything in.Bear with me. Uh, I've got
two dudes that got arrested for uhstreet racing. But they were going one
hundred and ninety nine miles per houron the Florida Turnpike, say cops,
deputy say they found a camera insidethe car they believe was used to capture
(00:44):
videos for their Instagram accounts. Sothey were speeding going in, you know,
doing their racing on the Florida Turnpikeone hundred and ninety nine miles per
hour, which is insane, andfilming it, you know, which is
like you're just you know, filmingit just to give what to give it
to the Here, mister police,here's evidence of our crimes. The duo
was spotted Sunday. It was aone am too. I mean it's like
(01:07):
right, you know, right inthe intersection. They were on North Shore
Golf Club Boulevard, and the affidavitsays they got tons of calls about potential
really potential illegal street racing, andso the U they said they got the
relative speedes are power of acceleration oftheir motor vehicles exceeded the legal limit.
I love the very you know legalese. Clearly it did. So they they
(01:29):
I mean, they caught them,like right, you know, as they
were doing it too. They caughtthe first driver. They didn't say,
and they were both sixteen years old. One driver was sixteen, another driver
sixteen. There's a twenty year oldthat was there as well. They don't
know if the second driver though,was apprehendive, but they did arrest.
They didn't make one arrest. It'sinsane. Florida man was Let's see,
(01:52):
he's an anger marriage. He's ananger management therapist who shot and killed a
homeless man and the body in atrunk. This is horrible. How also
is he an anger management? Cansomebody explain that to me? His name's
Travis McBride. Apparently, he thevictim is in his alleged he attacked this
homeless man. He and the victimapparently knew each other. McBride is a
(02:15):
therapist for people who focused on angermanagement, although he was once accused by
his wife of choking her. Youknow, but he's an anger anger management
counselor. This guy is supposed tobe forty six years old. Cane,
do you see this dude. He'ssupposed to be forty six years old.
I am totally serious. This dudelooks Wilford Brimley's age. I is he
(02:38):
alive? He looks? I don't. That's a good question. He looks
like Wilford Brimley when he did thediabetes commercials. He looks that. I
mean, I've never seen an olderforty six year old in my life.
This guy looks like he could bemy dad. And I'm in my forty
he looks like he could be mydad. Anyway, So this dude was
arrested in DeLand, Florida. Theyafter police responded to a suspicious incident because
(02:59):
they found a body in a trunkof a car, right, and they
identified this guy. A female witnesstold apparently they got a call from the
police, got a call from atipster, and they said that a female
witness then told police and they arrivedthat there was a victim who lives in
the woods nearby and that you know, this is on the affidavit. And
(03:20):
they interviewed the witnesses, and therewas one guy who said that he saw
this dude cleaning up blood because hehad killed someone. I mean, this
is like a this is like atrue crime or true detective episode. So
yeah, this guy, I don'tthink you need to be going to him
for your anger management, like foranything. I just you know, just
saying, let's see. Also,yeah, sorry, anger management specialist.
(03:45):
That's yeah, that's the I'm notdoing this one. I'm not going to
read that one because it's nasty.Can people stop going into the stores in
certain aisles and doing romantic solo performancesbecause I could just you know, let's
see. Ah, not reading thatone either. It is so bad.
It's so bad. Oh no,no, no, I'm not gonna I
can't. I can't hardly read anyof these. These are bad. There
(04:08):
was a guy who broke into hisex girlfriend's home stole her revolver. That's
like, that's not even interesting,but you shouldn't be doing it. This
one guy threw a beer can ata speeder. He ended up getting in
troubles alln video in Lakeland, Florida. A Florida man was arrested because he
threw a beer can at a vehicleand then oh, and then he fired
a rifle in the air because hewas upset about drivers speeding in his neighborhood.
(04:29):
Paul Tinny Sheriff's arrested thirty five yearold Arab Proctor. They said he
discharged a fire in public, andhe threw a deadly missile. He threw
a beer can. What about theguy's driving up and down the road,
you know, super fast? Sohe was detained and he was charged.
Hi, I'm Adriana, a politicsmajor at Hillsdale College. Here's Hillsdale President,
doctor Larry Aren't with a Constitution minuteAmerica's founders recognized an obvious fact of
(04:54):
life. Human beings differ in termsof physical attributes and talents. Because of
this, some people will be vetat some things than they are at others.
But they also recognize that the talland the short among us, the
swift and the slow among us,are still human beings. If we are
recognizable as human beings, and thereforewe are equal in terms of the rights
that pertain to human beings, rightsattached to human nature, rights that come
(05:16):
from God. The Decorations of Independencenames three of the big ones life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Exercising these rights is necessary if we
are to be truly free in ourown time. Many influential people believe that
only government can decide what our rightsshould be. This is dangerous. Understanding
our rights and how the Constitution protectsthem is vital to our freedom. To

we talk for a moment and switchgears and talk about I have this down
on my rundown. We'll pull myrun down up. I get a million
things here. I don't pay attention. I used to pay attention to the
(05:59):
oscars, to pay attention to allthis stuff, and I don't anymore because
it just got allso politically stupid,and then it got woke, and then
it was like hanting out participation trophiesto the worst movies because someone made an
effort. So Ryan Gosling got nominatedfor an Oscar and Margot Robbie didn't in
Barbie, and everyone is mad becauseGretorg Gerwig, who directed the movie and
(06:24):
Margot Robbie. They there are peopleout there who mistake the poll or the
amount made at the box office foryou know, being Oscar worthy or in
contention of an Oscar. I don'tthink that Margot Robbie should be nominated for
an Oscar for this role. It'slike comparing her role in I Tanya to
(06:47):
the I watched it because I wantedto know what everybody's watching. It was
the I fell asleep halfway through.It was the worst thing I've ever seen.
It was an absolute turd of afilm. It was if there,
If it wasn't digital, it wouldhave been one of the worst things ever
to be burned. To sell Lloyd, it was heinous. It was I
got so tired of the whiny broadsand that one Barbie was a dude.
(07:09):
You can't tell me that one Barbiewas a dude. I'm pretty sure there's
a shaved Adams Apple involved whatever,But it got so preachy. Ryan Gosling
was the only reason to watch thatmovie because he had so much fun with
his role, and damn if thatdoesn't deserve an Oscar, I don't know
what does. He had a blastwith his role and everything else was just
(07:30):
it just seemed like standard fair right. It just it was boring. It
got so preachy and it dragged onand oh my gosh, it could have
been probably an hour shorter, ifyou know, I don't know, but
to act like, oh well,it made a lot of money at the
box office, so it deserves anOscar. That's not It's like comparing her
performance in e Tanya, which shegot nominated for and that was a great
(07:50):
performance to this. I mean that'sthe difference. You know, Oscar performances
were supposed to transcend just you know, basic everyday roles and basic every day
acting, and and Ryan Gosling didit. So he was nominated for Best
Supporting Actor because for Ken, andeveryone's like, oh my gosh, there's
no there's no Ken to that.Barbie La Da Da and I And then
(08:11):
he gets into it and he saidhe got mad at the Academy and they
said it was a snub to MarcoRobby and Greta Gerwig. Maybe he's paying
the penance to the matriarchy because thatmovie does not deserve an Oscar. And
either for the Best Actress role orfor direction, not at all. I
(08:33):
mean that's and there's a reason whyit's so stupid to say he is the
best supporting actor. You know,why can't they just sit here and celebrate
his role. I and I said, this is what I have on my
rundown. I said, this isthe Oscar's equivalent of cucking yourself. It
is because he's out there. Whyyou know there's no show My gosh,
you know what I'd be like,Yeah, I owned this role bomb dot
(08:56):
com. I did it. Heshould if someone a friend of mine said
he should show up if he winsshirtless and a fur coat like Ken did,
and accept it just like Ken,but that he like. I just
think that that's the ultimate irony.He was so good, he was better
than everyone. I only cared abouthis scenes. I didn't care about anything
(09:16):
else. I'm like, oh wait, I want to see what Ken does
because it's hysterical. It was sofunny. It was the best part of
the movie. In fact. Youknow what, you know how you could
get this movie to have an Oscar, edit all the parts out that don't
have Ken in it and just haveall of Ken's parts in it, and
then put that out. That'll getan Oscar. You'd watch that when you
came. Just call it Ken.I don't care for the concept of the
(09:43):
movie, or I wouldn't be hewas so funny. He was so funny.
I enjoyed those clips on Twitter andeverywhere else, so I'm fun gosh.
It was like so it was soinsufferable, and I, as a
woman, I hate having stuff shoveddown, you know, like my face,
Like, oh my gosh, you'rea woman, so you have to
like this lady content. No Idon't. This is again, that's like
(10:05):
the Democrat equivalent of selling you cupholders. And then they're telling everybody else
what's under the hood. That's sodone with it. But yeah, they
should just they need to just itshould just be Ken. But I mean,
don't cook yourself, dude, don'tbe like, ah, they you
can't have Ken without Barbie La.Hell you can't. Yes, you can
go Ken Ken for Best Supporting Actor. It was, dude, It really
(10:26):
was hysterical all the clips that yousee of him. He is so good
in it. And I'm not evena Ryan Gosling fan, but I just
think it's so dumb to be It'slike they have to pay penance to the
matriarchy. Oh no, the excusemy Portuguese. Here the bitch Brigade's gonna
get mad at me if I don'tsit here and say, well, the
women should no, they shouldn't have. That movie sucked. It was horribly
directed, it was horribly edited.It dragged on so long. It was
(10:50):
worse than long COVID. It waslong Barbie. It was so bad.
It just kept dragging on. Iliterally fell asleep and I woke up and
they were still whining. Shut up, Papa might all in, Jill Gosh,
talking about it annoys me. Okay, so let's move on here.
We got a couple, we gotsome other things because we're here at Shasha.
(11:11):
Last year I went to the ATFbooth. They were weird. I
mean, government agencies are weird anyway, but the ATF dudes were weird.
There was one guy, I'll justcall him Shortstack. He looked like a
like a great Value version of PaulGiamatti, and every time he said Trump's
name, he would scratch the sideof his face with his hand and all
(11:35):
of his other fingers except for thenaughty one. Tall Man. If you've
ever played that game, this istall Man. This is tall Man.
Here, I am here, Iam that guy. He had that guy
up on the side of his faceand I'm sitting there looking at him and
I just I was like, doyou think this is clever? And he
goes, what, I don't knowwhat you're talking about. I'm like,
(11:56):
jeez, Like, at least PaulGiamatti groomed him. You got crusted on
your mouth. I can't stand that. That's another thing like I can't stand
like when people have attitude and they'rejust dirty. I just don't like it.
But he was like a great value, Paul Giamatti, and he had
no idea what to say. Wewere talking about the uh pistol braces.
He had no idea, Like howdo you change in one hundred eight How
(12:16):
do you do a one hundred andeighty in three sixty five days? How
do you do that? Especially aftertwelve years of holding the same position?
Like what changed? What changed?And I started talking to two of them,
and then by the end they werelike eight agents standing up there.
There was like, uh, somebig o tall Heidi that was in the
corner. I don't know. Shewas like a She was a big girl
with blonde hair, and she waslike given major attitude. In the beginning
(12:39):
but she didn't. But I wasso nice. I mean, it's impossible
not to like me, even whenI'm being like totally snarky. It's really
hard not to like me in person. And she ended up liking me at
the end. See, I madehim friends except for Paul Giamati, and
I just made him feel bad abouthimself and probably question his life choices later.
But I don't know, I don'tknow if, like, should we
go there again this year? Justlike troll him every year. It's just
like the annual troll length. Theydon't know what time, but all of
(13:00):
a sudden, the trolling comes foreveryone. You know, like maybe we
couldn't do anything unless it was broughtto you by like, for instance,
some folks over at Keltech. Iremember when kel Tech first started working with
us on radio, and people gotreal nervous about it, and we had
some people in some markets go,I don't know, I mean, you
know, maybe we could just likenot go into the weeds. What do
you want me to call them?Shooty sticks? I mean, like,
what what do you want me towhat do you want me to call them?
(13:22):
Uh? They have a new subtwo K Gen three. Well it's
the it's the Gen three, thethird generation of their Sub two K.
And if you go to their website, it's the it's the it's the Sub
two thousand. But it's awesome.I mean, you know, it's like
gun or agami. It folds andyou would have to take the optics off
and all of that. Now youdon't have to because it like twists and
folds. It's so cool the waythat they all of the stuff that they
come up with. And yes,the optics stay on, it's just the
(13:43):
way that they do it. Youcan still fold it in half. It's
a twist and fold. It's patentpending. It's such an awesome Uh,
it's such an awesome guy. Ilove my Sub two K. I don't
have the Gen three, but I'mgonna get it. Uh, and I
love it. And of course thisis a Florida based company. Uh.
Everything that they do is right herein the US of A. And they
are like minded, they think likeyou, and they support your rights.

them Dana sent you, and nowall of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's quick five.So Condye Nast members union members have
(14:26):
launched a twenty four hour walkout inmid layoff talks. More than four hundred
workers at Vanity Fair, Vogue,Conde Nast, Bone Petite, and other
brands are walking out Tuesday to protestbargaining practices. And they said, I've
learned to code? Am I supposedto care? Learn to code? Let's
see. Also, let's see Oklahoma. This Oklahoma bill is going to ban
(14:52):
sending any kind of provocative selfie unlessyou're married. No sexteing out of marriage.
I don't like the a determining speechfor anybody. But that's nuts,
no pun intended. That's actually likereally, that's like why why do you
have to have a bill for this? And also, just don't be a
(15:13):
sleeze, you know what I mean, Like, don't be don't be don't
be skanky. Just you know,remember there's always three people in your relationship.
It's you and you know, yourboyfriend and girlfriend or and Jesus,
three people in that relationship. He'son that, he's in that text group
with you. So would you sendthose things to Jesus? I don't think
(15:33):
so. But also, we don'tneed the government making this kind of stuff.
Why do people do this? Ijust don't know. Uh, let's
see here the shock for evs Toyota, head of the world's number one automaker.
They say electro cars will never dominatethe market. And they add that
politics that that will not decide thefake customers, not regulations or politics that
(15:56):
will ultimately uh deturn the fate.It was the chairman of Tokyo Akio Toyota,
who predicts that battery electric vehicles we'llonly ever capture thirty percent of the
car market. And you know whathe's right? I like what he's saying
here. Now, can you stoppushing this stuff on us? Look,
if you want to get your EVfined, but don't sit here and transition
(16:17):
everything to an EV. Some ofus like combustion engines. Some of us
like here when we start our cars. Okay, some of us like that.
We like the rep we like thesmell of gas, We like oil.
We love gas and oil we likeall these things. I'm not a
fan of EV's, especially when thecold absolutely depletes their battery. But look,
if you want them, get them. I'm not am but don't tell
me it's better for the environment.And we don't need to switch everything over
(16:37):
to there. I'm so done withit. I'm so done with it all.
Let's see here. Also, thesec deaf made a public appearance.
He didn't look so good. LloydAustin made a public appearance yesterday. It
was his first since his secret hospitalization. He was he went to a virtual
meeting, so it was kind oflike a public thing. He was at
a virtual meeting discussing Ukraine, andhe didn't even look good virtually. I
(17:00):
mean, seriously, if you can'teven like fake it, you know,
when you're zooming in, then that'syou know what I mean? That says
something, that says something I am. I don't know. It just seems
so. North Korea fires several cruisemissiles into the sea because that's the only
place that their stuff will ever go, because it's North Korea. As we
move, we got Eric Pratt fromGun Owners of America going to be joining
(17:21):
us. We're here broadcasting live fromShacho in Vegas. Stick with us for
Nikki Haley because I was voting againstDonald Trump. And what propelled you to
get to this point? I wantto uh, seventy four years old.
I've lived in the constitutional democracy allmy life. I want to remain that
way, and I want my grandchildrento grow up and one and a dictatorship.
(17:45):
Well there you go. We stillgot South Carolina, we got Nevada,
we got that dual process. Constitutionaldemocracy. What is that? Well,
it's a democratic process and a republic. But I don't know what a
conference constitutional republic, yeahocracy is Idon't know what that means. Welcome back
to the program, Dana. Lastyear broadcasting from Las Vegas. So let
me tell you about my TSA funexperience. I have flown golly hundreds of
(18:10):
times, I mean near for astretch of some years, I think I
was on a plane every week.I've flown all over everywhere, and I've
met good TSA agents, and I'mat bad TSA agents and I'm not going
to pay the indulgence at the Churchof the TSA to sit here and go.
I've met some good TSA agents tocomplain about what happened yesterday. So,
(18:33):
as you know, I am likeGreg Fokker from Meet the Parents.
I don't like checking up. Actuallynot Greg Foker. I'm like the chicky
married. I don't like checking itback. I literally can pack a week
everything I need and you know,roll with it a professional lady. And
I don't like checking backs. I'vehad bags lost. I've had entire suitcases
destroyed by yeah for real, LikeI've had a crushed in the thing before.
(18:55):
I mean all kinds of horrible stuff. So I just don't. I
don't check bags. So travel withmy micro right and a mic stand.
I've flung with this thing for adecade a decade, and every single time
we fly they think that the micis a bomb. Of course, I
will say that. One time theTSASFW thought that my son's plastic protractor,
(19:15):
you know, the thing with thehalf the crescent and the ruler on it
was they had to get. Theyliterally took that out and were looking at
it. It was like watching babiesplay with shapes and a shape sorder.
It was plastic. Yeah, itwas a plastic shape sorder. They took
it out and they were looking atand they're like, well, I'm like,
are you flipping for real anyway.So they never I never had a
problem with a mic stand and I'vewe've always flung with it. It's never
(19:37):
been an issue. It's always theyalways swabbed the mic and They're like,
it looks like a pipe bomb.And I'm like, yeah, we're just
gonna bring a pipe bomb right there, like that you did many Christmas anyway.
So they stopped and they looked atthe bottom of the radio mic stand.
So the bottom of the radio micstand is just a little thing that
you screw, uh, you know, a tube into and it holds the
microphone up right. That's it.It's a stand. It's like a stand,
(19:57):
and it was the base of thestand. They were like, well,
this could be a weapon. Theyhad no idea what it was.
Again, like watching babies figure outshapes and a shape's order, they couldn't
figure out what it was. SoI'm like, well, for the love,
So they weren't they at first theythought they were going to We thought
they were going to confiscate the mic, and we were telling them, the
huh, that's irreplaceable. You can'tdo that. That is a super It
(20:22):
is a ridiculously expensive mic. Youcannot and Kane's dad played it you can't.
And then they are like, oh, well, they said they took
the mic base. And there wasone dude who was just you know,
I guess he was just taking orders. I don't really accept that excuse for
anything. Then there was some dudewho was literally on a power trip.
And then uh, a rude broadwho came over and she was like,
(20:47):
well, they that can be usedas a weapon, and we're like anything
can what it's how was it aweapon? Anything can be used as a
weapon. She's like, I know, right, like, oh, I'm
like listen here be I didn't saythat, maybe but in so many words,
but I'm like, what, Igot four inch stilettos in my suitcase.
I could shive you right now withmy heels. Broad like, what's
up? What's good? You knowthat's a weapon, But now it's this
(21:08):
completely no sharp edges, nothing basefor a mic stand And they were and
then they're just a little like Ican't say what I want to say because
I'll totally get fined by the FCC. But I'm just projecting all these words
into your head. That's what Ithink of them. Thanks for tuning in
