Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man. I got a few Florida
Man stories. The first one Ijust love the headline. The other part's
probably not as good. A FloridaMan called American Airlines passengers blue eyed white
(00:25):
devils. The guy, by theway, is a white guy, so
I don't know why he did thisthe way he did, or well,
he's you know, I think ofa mixed descent. But anyway, he
was very, very mad, andhe was threatening to take down the plane,
so eventually he got removed from aplane. But I'd almost take it
as a compliment if I got calleda blue eyed white devil by anybody in
(00:46):
Florida, because you feel like there'sa level of importance there. As of
course, I'm not doing evil,terrible things a devil style, but he
seemed to be utterly unhinged. SoI just love the fact that that's the
headline for Florida Man. And iftoday is your birthday, you actually can
google Florida Man and the date youwere born, and you're probably finding that
story, and that is your officialFlorida Man story. If you've ever played
(01:10):
the Florida Man Birthday game. Ilove that. That's a real thing too.
Another one out there. Court hasordered a Florida man to remove his
shipping container boat from a lagoon inFlorida. This dude apparently made a makeshift
boat. He's had it docked atdifferent places throughout Florida since twenty twenty one.
His name is Fane Loewsman. Apparentlythe biggest problem with his sea vessel
(01:34):
is that it's not seaworthy. Heput windows in it, he put furniture
in it. It's just shipping containersthat he's cut to kind of sort of
float that keep causing problems. Ilove the fact that he'd go to court
and defend himself, though he's like, hey, man, that's my boat.
Leave my boat alone. As yousomehow find a way to turn a
shipping container or a few of theminto something that doesn't completely sink to the
(01:57):
boto of the ground. In allhonesty, I'm a little impressed with but
yeah, it makes sense to askfor that to be removed. I can't
stay there, especially since apparently severaltimes it's just floated away from wherever it
was docked and wound up causing problemsfor all kinds of people in these areas
using their actual boats. I alsocan't help but envision what it would be
(02:19):
like to be invited on a boatby this specific Florida man, to show
up at a marina and to seea shipping container with windows and furniture in
it, and that guy being like, Yeah, man, we're going to
go for a day on the water. It's going to be a lot of
fun for all of us. Isthat a boat or what is that exactly?
And he just tell you to shutup and you'll enjoy I don't know
if he's actually sailed it it all. That's the other part that I seem
(02:40):
to love about this. And finally, one last Florida Man story. A
man carjacked an ambulance in Tampa,then he crashed it. According to the
cops, this happened about two am. I don't know why anyone would target
to take a vehicle like this.Of course, you cause a lot of
harm. There's an element to thisthat's not as funny as some of the
other Florida Man stories are, Butat the same time, it seems like
(03:04):
it makes utter sense that you stealthis thing, you crash it, and
then you wind up getting arrested.The only thing that would have made it
more Florida man, in my opinion, like a better version of the same
story, is if he had crashedit into a police office, into a
police department, because that happens allthe time. The criminals, and I
think especially in Florida, take thevehicle and go to the place where they're
going to get arrested. I thinkone guy even got arrested for breaking into
(03:28):
a jail, which to me isawesome and the only thing that you see
or things that you see way moreoften in Florida than anywhere else. But
again, this guy decided to stealan ambulance. Maybe it's the same guy
who has a shipping container boat andthen went on a joy ride until he
crashed it and caused a lot ofheadaches and issues for a lot of people.
There's a I think, you know, court case coming up, and
(03:51):
the guy's going to be in awhole lot of trouble, which hopefully they
throw the book at this dude.He was driving a Chevy Tahoe before he
decided to upgrade for the rescue vehicle. I'm not sure what that says about
him. All Right, we'll takea break. A lot more coming up.
This is Craig Collins filling in onthe Dana Show. This is the
Dana Show. My name is CraigCollins filling in. Dana's literally everywhere Danaradio
(04:11):
dot com a great website to checkout, or her social media pages,
d Lash and Dana Lash Radio onsocial media, on x lots of things
out there in the news to discuss. I thought this was interesting. Chuck
Todd on Sunday get very upset atthe idea that his network, How dare
they NBC and MSNBC hire Rona McDaniel, the former r and C chair.
(04:32):
I'm no fan of Rana. Ithink she was doing a terrible job as
the chair of the RNC. Butthis is fairly typical. I mean,
you have White House press secretaries thatget jobs on places like MSNBC constantly,
and no one complained that the personwho was lying to the news media because
they had to, because they hadto make sure to protect the administration at
(04:55):
all costs all the time. Iwind up getting jobs if they're Democrats,
if they're Republicans, of course,this is much worse, and Ronald McDaniel
apparently is the tip of the icebergor the final straw. I should actually
say for a lot of these individuals. Here is what Chuck Todd said right
after the interview aired. He toldhis colleague, AH, it's not your
fault. You're put in a terriblesituation, and this is this is awful.
(05:17):
But again, this is fairly typicalin the world of how politics and
media blend each other. So quickly, look, let me do with the
elephant in the room. Yes,I think our bosses owe you an apology
for putting you in this situation becauseI don't know what to believe. Okay,
she actually now a paid contributor.Ah, I MBC NWS. Well,
I have no idea what any answershe gave to you was because she
(05:38):
didn't want to mess up her contract. I don't know if she agreed to
some of the stuff we said becausenow she's getting paid for us, I
don't know if her opinions are thesame as they were before. I don't
understand any of this. I'm madand for the R and C when the
R and C was paying for soshe has she has credibility issues that she
still has to deal with speak lookingfor herself or she's speaking on behalf of
(06:01):
who's paying her. Once at theRNC, she did say that, Hey,
I'm speaking for the party. Iget that that's part of the job.
So what about here? I willsay this, I think your interview
did a good job of exposing Ithink many of the contradictions. And look,
there's a reason why there's a lotof journalists at NBC who's uncomfortable with
(06:21):
this, because it's that many ofour professional dealings with the RNC over the
last six years have been met withcaslighting. Is that because you guys also
gaslight the rn C often, oryou gaslight the politicians and just one side
of the aisle as consistently as youdo. You make up things and then
when egg is on your face,you refuse to admit you got stuff wrong.
Is that the issue? Is thatthe challenge, Chuck tadd or is
(06:44):
it something else? I love this, you know what, I say this
very often about a lot of thethings. When you do what I do,
or what Dana does, or whatanybody does. And I don't know
that I do things anywhere near aswell as Dana Lash. She's way better,
way more talented than me at this. But you see the inauthenticness,
You see the crap in politics andthe crap from these these you know,
(07:05):
television media legacy media morons all thetime, and how they say stuff that
they don't believe. One of myfavorite interviews recently actually has been a sit
down between Tucker Carlson and anyone andeveryone that you expect to say one thing
and they wind up saying something totallydifferent, because so very often, I
(07:28):
think the belief now is that onceyou're free, and even Tucker, once
he's free from any of the stringsthat might have been pulling him before,
you feel like the conversation is morenuanced. You feel like the discussion is
different. Megan Kelly is another greatexample of that. And I wonder so
often if these individuals, these peoplesaying these things even believe what they're saying,
(07:51):
like Chuck Todd does, and howdare they how dare they ever hire
someone like Iron McDaniel who they can'ttrust, even though Jensaki and many many
others work there who had problems withthe truth as well. Quite often the
people who help bring you free radio, it's our friends over at Caltech the
Sub two K. This is theGen three, and if you have previous
(08:15):
iterations of this nine millimeter carbone,you're really gonna love some of the enhancements
of the Gen three. First off, the Sub two K folds in half,
and previously you'd had to take youroptics off to do so, not
anymore with the Gen three. Thesimple twist and fold motion of the patent
pending rotating foe end in either directionfolds it right in half and just as
quickly and easily deploys it optics andall. There's an upgraded aluminum trigger,
(08:41):
redesign trigger mechanics. You got alightened five pound pool, you have upgraded
action. There's a redesigned operating handlefor added comfort as well, new chamber
indicator. And it's made right herein the US of a Florida family owned
company with those values. They're incrediblyinnovative. They have a passion for innovation,
and it's evident and of everything thatthey have. And you can see
(09:01):
the Sub two K, JEN threereads the Sub two thousand on their website.
Go look at the website, goto arrange, go to your FFL,
go and try it out. It'sthe sub two, Kgen three,
Celtech Weapons dot com, K EL T E C Weapons dot Com.
Tell them that Dana sent you,and now all of the news you would
probably miss. It's time for Dana'sQuick five. That's right, it's the
(09:24):
Dana Quick Five. My name isCraig Collins, filling in on the Dana
Show, thrilled to be with you. I'm going to do a two for
in here. I think I havetwo that are very similar stories, some
counting that as just one. Butfirst, let's do this. A thirty
five year old math teacher in Dallasdecided he's running for president and he thinks
that you'll vote for him because youdon't want to vote for Biden or for
(09:45):
Trump. I've rejected a part ofthis narrative. I know a lot of
people say this all the time,that we're sick of these two options,
that it's same old, same old. But I think everything that's going on
with Trump, whether it's the legalchallenges or trying to remove him later really
remove him from ballots, I thinkit makes people much more invigorated to support
that candidate than anyone that's trying tosupport, well, the idiot that's in
(10:07):
the White House. Right now.So I reject a bar to this narrative.
But if you're a person that feelsthis way, apparently a guy wants
to pull a Brewster's millions and getyou to vote for anybody else, And
so he's actually changed his name tobe literally anybody else. Here we go
literally anybody else. Well, it'smy name. My name is literally anybody
(10:28):
else, and I'm running for presidentof the United States. You know,
it's not necessarily about me as aperson, but it's about literally anybody else
as an idea, Donald Trump JoeBiden would be literally anybody else. Let's
do this as best we can.This is the same version of what you
see in actual politics, with peopleattacking each other instead of telling you any
platform they have just going even crazier. And again it was done better by
(10:50):
Richard Pryor, so really don't doit all right. I have two billboard
stories. I'm calling this a twofer. You have a guy that was pranked
via I guess, escalate office craziness, and they put up a cheese billboard
that's actually what people are looking up. It says this man consumes over twenty
gallons of liquid cheese in a yearand he cannot be stopped. This is
(11:11):
obviously a joke, a prank.It's sort of stupid in a lot of
ways. But they tracked down JakeLaws, the guy who's the cheese billboard
dude, and here's what he saidabout all the pranks and how bad they've
gotten. It started out as asmall little break battle between me my co
worker Jonathan. We have cool prankson each other for quite a bit now,
and I saw some of my coworkerswearing these shirts. It says twenty
(11:35):
gallons and unstoppable. Of course thoseare clues to the billboard that had no
idea what was happening. Come tofind out the Billboard was on. He
comes up with very elaborate banks.Yeah, and he spends lots and lots
of money and lots of his timeon it. They compared them to Jim
and d White from the Office.The reality is that when you do something
this hard with this much effort,it actually is way less hilarious than when
(11:56):
it happens in a TV show,and you don't see the effort part one
other one in the world of billboardstories, I don't think we're going to
get the five this first try.A restaurant owner or a brand new restaurant
tour put up a billboard that said, literally, hey, Sophia, you
broke up with me because I waspoor. Now I have money to open
a Korean barbecue. Are you regrettingit? Now? It's a real billboard.
(12:18):
It's in Australia. No idea ifthe restaurant will be good or successful.
Don't want to tell the guy.A lot of those restaurants don't make
it, but darn it, itdoesn't matter. It's not important. He's
got the revenge billboard out there,so he's proud and happy with himself.
This is the Dana Schelle. Myname is Craig Collins, filling in.
Dana Lash is back tomorrow. Followher on social media everywhere. D Lash
(12:39):
or Dana lash Radio a couple ofgreat places to find her on Twitter,
on x and then also her website, her social media pages, her YouTube
channel, There's so many things.She's all over the place and very deserving
of it. She's awesome, butshe's back tomorrow. I saw this story
as far as some dumb thing Isaw in the news to end the show
(13:01):
on, and I loved this one. I didn't know that people still really
did the self help column thing likethe deer Abbey thing. I thought people
just shaded each other on social mediaor went to some of my favorite places
on Reddit, like am I thejerk? Or am I the A word?
Is what it actually is? Butthis person wrote in to a deer
Abby and asked a pretty amazing question. And I know this is radio.
(13:24):
I know I got to clean itup a little bit. It's a tat
adult in nature. But a guywrote in with a question saying that he
had had an intimate experience with hisdirect superior, a woman on a business
trip. He said one thing ledto another and he thought it was fun,
but he doesn't want it to continueafter the one off fun time.
Here's the part that I couldn't getover this. He's complaining that the boss
(13:46):
seems to now have genuine interest inhim and is trying to continue to flirt
or maybe bring him on more businesstrips, and he wants all that to
end. I don't know how yousay that it's the other person's fault,
and I know that it's it's atricky territory. HR would have a field
day with this. But if yougo so far as to actually have the
one night stand and then be like, man, it's getting out of hand
(14:09):
now some about that's amazing to me. I just I love that idea.
And apparently the person was not youknow, tricked into or forced to do
anything, very happy, had agood time. I just would like that
time to be in the in thebackground now. To give credit to the
person. In the Dear Abbey column, they said for the boss's own career
(14:30):
benefit, it probably is something thatshould stop happening because you know it could
get this person in trouble. Butthis has got to be the new version
the dating app, you know,casual dating life that we're all in version
of. Man, my boss hasflirting with me too much, and all
I did to make that a thingthat started happening is sleep with them that
one time. That's that's insane tome. I can't get over that.
(14:52):
Another dumb story I saw out thereapparently finally apprehended. This is a criminal,
a thief, someone who's been takinga lot of cars, but also
someone who had a very unique descriptionof them. This is the underwear bandit
who was caught by police in ahilarious video that went viral online. Not
(15:13):
a lot of good audio, soI'll tell you to go look up the
video if you want to. Latelast night, at approximately midnight, the
people at CM Motors located a missingvehicle and the person behind the wheel was
a dude wearing underwear on his head. I think he had a clothing on
as well. I don't think hewas naked beyond it, but I will
tell you, and I've said thisbefore, when I talk about crazy stories
(15:35):
like this, I would be moreintimidated by the criminal who's missing clothing or
the criminal who puts underwear on theirhead than I would be by the dude
who's like twice my size. Ifeel like the crazy person is more unpredictable
in that world. And I don'tknow why a lot of criminals get naked
before they commit crimes, but ithappens. There's enough that I could do
a whole segment called naked News,where people unfortunately lose their clothing at some
(16:00):
point while committing a crime. Butthis, to me is a whole different
area avenue where you just put iton top of the head. All right.
I have one other piece of audiotoo, for another stupid news story
to close the show. Do wehave an intro for this one. I
can't remember if we do, Steven, all right, go ahead, do
a sticker. Nice. That's it. This is the stupidest story of the
(16:22):
day to me. Chick fil Ais embroiled in a controversy because they're changing
their chicken from no antibiotic chicken tono antibiotic that is harmful to human chicken,
which is a very long name.And there's many many young people very
upset about this in social media.It doesn't matter, you're not going to
taste the difference. I don't thinkit's important. But here's one person just
(16:44):
very upset with this. Start sellingantibiotic chicken. Now have no antibiotics whatsoever
in its chicken, and now it'schanging that policy starting spring of twenty twenty
four. Now, Chick fil Asays it's making this move to maintain the
supply of high quality chicken that youcan expect. Let's translate, it's cheaper
to use chicken with antibiotics, andwe're all gonna die or we're not.
(17:06):
Probably everything's gonna be fine, butanyway, you'll be great. Chick fil

often if these individuals, these peoplesaying these things even believe what they're saying,
(07:51):
like Chuck Todd does, and howdare they how dare they ever hire
someone like Iron McDaniel who they can'ttrust, even though Jensaki and many many
others work there who had problems withthe truth as well. Quite often the
people who help bring you free radio, it's our friends over at Caltech the
Sub two K. This is theGen three, and if you have previous
(08:15):
iterations of this nine millimeter carbone,you're really gonna love some of the enhancements
of the Gen three. First off, the Sub two K folds in half,
and previously you'd had to take youroptics off to do so, not
anymore with the Gen three. Thesimple twist and fold motion of the patent
pending rotating foe end in either directionfolds it right in half and just as
quickly and easily deploys it optics andall. There's an upgraded aluminum trigger,
(08:41):
redesign trigger mechanics. You got alightened five pound pool, you have upgraded
action. There's a redesigned operating handlefor added comfort as well, new chamber
indicator. And it's made right herein the US of a Florida family owned
company with those values. They're incrediblyinnovative. They have a passion for innovation,
and it's evident and of everything thatthey have. And you can see
(09:01):
the Sub two K, JEN threereads the Sub two thousand on their website.
Go look at the website, goto arrange, go to your FFL,
go and try it out. It'sthe sub two, Kgen three,
Celtech Weapons dot com, K EL T E C Weapons dot Com.
Tell them that Dana sent you,and now all of the news you would
probably miss. It's time for Dana'sQuick five. That's right, it's the
(09:24):
Dana Quick Five. My name isCraig Collins, filling in on the Dana
Show, thrilled to be with you. I'm going to do a two for
in here. I think I havetwo that are very similar stories, some
counting that as just one. Butfirst, let's do this. A thirty
five year old math teacher in Dallasdecided he's running for president and he thinks
that you'll vote for him because youdon't want to vote for Biden or for
(09:45):
Trump. I've rejected a part ofthis narrative. I know a lot of
people say this all the time,that we're sick of these two options,
that it's same old, same old. But I think everything that's going on
with Trump, whether it's the legalchallenges or trying to remove him later really
remove him from ballots, I thinkit makes people much more invigorated to support
that candidate than anyone that's trying tosupport, well, the idiot that's in
(10:07):
the White House. Right now.So I reject a bar to this narrative.
But if you're a person that feelsthis way, apparently a guy wants
to pull a Brewster's millions and getyou to vote for anybody else, And
so he's actually changed his name tobe literally anybody else. Here we go
literally anybody else. Well, it'smy name. My name is literally anybody
(10:28):
else, and I'm running for presidentof the United States. You know,
it's not necessarily about me as aperson, but it's about literally anybody else
as an idea, Donald Trump JoeBiden would be literally anybody else. Let's
do this as best we can.This is the same version of what you
see in actual politics, with peopleattacking each other instead of telling you any
platform they have just going even crazier. And again it was done better by
(10:50):
Richard Pryor, so really don't doit all right. I have two billboard
stories. I'm calling this a twofer. You have a guy that was pranked
via I guess, escalate office craziness, and they put up a cheese billboard
that's actually what people are looking up. It says this man consumes over twenty
gallons of liquid cheese in a yearand he cannot be stopped. This is
(11:11):
obviously a joke, a prank.It's sort of stupid in a lot of
ways. But they tracked down JakeLaws, the guy who's the cheese billboard
dude, and here's what he saidabout all the pranks and how bad they've
gotten. It started out as asmall little break battle between me my co
worker Jonathan. We have cool prankson each other for quite a bit now,
and I saw some of my coworkerswearing these shirts. It says twenty
(11:35):
gallons and unstoppable. Of course thoseare clues to the billboard that had no
idea what was happening. Come tofind out the Billboard was on. He
comes up with very elaborate banks.Yeah, and he spends lots and lots
of money and lots of his timeon it. They compared them to Jim
and d White from the Office.The reality is that when you do something
this hard with this much effort,it actually is way less hilarious than when
(11:56):
it happens in a TV show,and you don't see the effort part one
other one in the world of billboardstories, I don't think we're going to
get the five this first try.A restaurant owner or a brand new restaurant
tour put up a billboard that said, literally, hey, Sophia, you
broke up with me because I waspoor. Now I have money to open
a Korean barbecue. Are you regrettingit? Now? It's a real billboard.
(12:18):
It's in Australia. No idea ifthe restaurant will be good or successful.
Don't want to tell the guy.A lot of those restaurants don't make
it, but darn it, itdoesn't matter. It's not important. He's
got the revenge billboard out there,so he's proud and happy with himself.
This is the Dana Schelle. Myname is Craig Collins, filling in.
Dana Lash is back tomorrow. Followher on social media everywhere. D Lash
(12:39):
or Dana lash Radio a couple ofgreat places to find her on Twitter,
on x and then also her website, her social media pages, her YouTube
channel, There's so many things.She's all over the place and very deserving
of it. She's awesome, butshe's back tomorrow. I saw this story
as far as some dumb thing Isaw in the news to end the show
(13:01):
on, and I loved this one. I didn't know that people still really
did the self help column thing likethe deer Abbey thing. I thought people
just shaded each other on social mediaor went to some of my favorite places
on Reddit, like am I thejerk? Or am I the A word?
Is what it actually is? Butthis person wrote in to a deer
Abby and asked a pretty amazing question. And I know this is radio.
(13:24):
I know I got to clean itup a little bit. It's a tat
adult in nature. But a guywrote in with a question saying that he
had had an intimate experience with hisdirect superior, a woman on a business
trip. He said one thing ledto another and he thought it was fun,
but he doesn't want it to continueafter the one off fun time.
Here's the part that I couldn't getover this. He's complaining that the boss
(13:46):
seems to now have genuine interest inhim and is trying to continue to flirt
or maybe bring him on more businesstrips, and he wants all that to
end. I don't know how yousay that it's the other person's fault,
and I know that it's it's atricky territory. HR would have a field
day with this. But if yougo so far as to actually have the
one night stand and then be like, man, it's getting out of hand
(14:09):
now some about that's amazing to me. I just I love that idea.
And apparently the person was not youknow, tricked into or forced to do
anything, very happy, had agood time. I just would like that
time to be in the in thebackground now. To give credit to the
person. In the Dear Abbey column, they said for the boss's own career
(14:30):
benefit, it probably is something thatshould stop happening because you know it could
get this person in trouble. Butthis has got to be the new version
the dating app, you know,casual dating life that we're all in version
of. Man, my boss hasflirting with me too much, and all
I did to make that a thingthat started happening is sleep with them that
one time. That's that's insane tome. I can't get over that.
(14:52):
Another dumb story I saw out thereapparently finally apprehended. This is a criminal,
a thief, someone who's been takinga lot of cars, but also
someone who had a very unique descriptionof them. This is the underwear bandit
who was caught by police in ahilarious video that went viral online. Not
(15:13):
a lot of good audio, soI'll tell you to go look up the
video if you want to. Latelast night, at approximately midnight, the
people at CM Motors located a missingvehicle and the person behind the wheel was
a dude wearing underwear on his head. I think he had a clothing on
as well. I don't think hewas naked beyond it, but I will
tell you, and I've said thisbefore, when I talk about crazy stories
(15:35):
like this, I would be moreintimidated by the criminal who's missing clothing or
the criminal who puts underwear on theirhead than I would be by the dude
who's like twice my size. Ifeel like the crazy person is more unpredictable
in that world. And I don'tknow why a lot of criminals get naked
before they commit crimes, but ithappens. There's enough that I could do
a whole segment called naked News,where people unfortunately lose their clothing at some
(16:00):
point while committing a crime. Butthis, to me is a whole different
area avenue where you just put iton top of the head. All right.
I have one other piece of audiotoo, for another stupid news story
to close the show. Do wehave an intro for this one. I
can't remember if we do, Steven, all right, go ahead, do
a sticker. Nice. That's it. This is the stupidest story of the
(16:22):
day to me. Chick fil Ais embroiled in a controversy because they're changing
their chicken from no antibiotic chicken tono antibiotic that is harmful to human chicken,
which is a very long name.And there's many many young people very
upset about this in social media.It doesn't matter, you're not going to
taste the difference. I don't thinkit's important. But here's one person just
(16:44):
very upset with this. Start sellingantibiotic chicken. Now have no antibiotics whatsoever
in its chicken, and now it'schanging that policy starting spring of twenty twenty
four. Now, Chick fil Asays it's making this move to maintain the
supply of high quality chicken that youcan expect. Let's translate, it's cheaper
to use chicken with antibiotics, andwe're all gonna die or we're not.
(17:06):
Probably everything's gonna be fine, butanyway, you'll be great. Chick fil
