(00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laugh mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida Man, all right, So we
got to talk about this guy immediately. Is this sounds like I swear this
was an always Sunday in Philadelphia episode. I think a Clearwater beach tour boat

(00:24):
captain was so drunk on the jobthat he fell off the boat, say
police. He had thirty customers onboard, and apparently he was so liquored
up he done fell in the water. John Beckwith was arrested Friday on a
charge of boating under the influence,and the captain for Clearwater Fund Boat Tours

(00:45):
had thirty customers on board, andhe was so impaired, say witnesses,
that he fell off the boat.When Clearwater police arrived. Beckwith was apparently,
he said, stumbling and had foodall over his face. Via the
arrest report, his eyes were bloodshotand he smelled like a he smelled like
a can of beer. They said. He performed poorly on a sobriety test

(01:06):
and blewe point one eight on abreathalyzer. So yeah, he was drunk.
He'd runt. He's been convicted inMichigan and Arizona for DUI twice in
Michigan, one for extreme DUI inArizona, which I didn't even know they
had that classification. This is hisfourth charge for operating any kind of like

(01:26):
vehicle while impaired. And so Idon't know. The tour pot company didn't
say it hasn't given a comment,but i'd imagine that he not with them
anymore. You know, I'm justgonna say, just you know, uh,
here's one reason why you need PatriotMobile. Florida man's trip overseas ended
up with a one hundred and fortythree thousand dollars Pham Bill, a T
Mobile customer of thirty year sait.He alerted the carrier of his travel plans,

(01:48):
as he always does, but apparentlywhen they said you're covered, it
didn't mean that. Uh. Theysaid that they were touring. Where were
they at? They were, oh, Swiss Alps? Oh no wait,
no, jump high the sw Theywere in Switzerland. Yeah, they did
go to swis helps. They werein Switzerland and apparently they were there three
weeks and when they got back,because he sent pictures and messages and stuff,

(02:12):
he thought it said one hundred andforty three dollars, and it was
one hundred and forty three thousand dollarsfor using nine point five gigabytes of data
while overseas, and because it wasroaming, it costs thousands of dollars every
day. So he called T Mobileand this Florida man and she said,
no, it's a good bill.And he goes, what do you mean
it's a good bill, and shegoes, it's what you owe. So
they're still apparently dealing with it.He had called and said that they were

(02:36):
traveling, and apparently that he wasn'tcovered. So again, this is why
you should switch to Patroo Mobile,because I've never had a one hundred and
forty three thousand dollars phone bill,because and there all it tasted like two
seconds to be like, hey,I'm in Italy or I'm overseas somewhere.
Yeah, I know, it's beensuper and I never had that problem.
Of course, you know, Idon't have a completely darrelic communist phone company
either, So there you go.Let's see, Oh, do I want

(02:57):
the guy who steals golf carts likeall the golf carts? Or do I
want the guy who's stolen Elvis yes, do. The guy who decided to
steal the Elvis jacket, he swipeda pricey Elvis jacket from the Seminal Hard
Rock Hotel and Casino and it wasapparently Elvis is eleven, six hundred and
seventy dollars jacket and it has notyet been recovered. What what so apparently

(03:19):
the guy has a rap sheet.One day I showed up at All Your
convention and I was I was inthe motel after the local motel getting changed
after the afternoon session, go backto the eating session. I'd come down
with some young activists through a littleolder than me, but still young activists

(03:44):
who were involved in trying to reformthe party. And I was in there
one of those eight by ten bathrooms, you know they have shower, toilet
and a sink, and I gota towel on me and shaving cream and
I hear bam bam bam at mydoor really loudly, and when what the
hell's did? I thought of thisguy, Bob Cunningham on a radio show

(04:05):
and a couple of the guys thatsays okay, okay, guys, And
I walked to the door and openup and standing there was the former governor
of the state of Delaware, Albertand Carvell, a big guy about six
' five, talked at you likeyes. And the state representati who got
defeated four years earlier as the Democraticstate rep who was retired and one of

(04:28):
the from the family that had moremore senators appointed than any other family in
American history to the tunnels, andthe former retired justice and the state chairman,
and they said, I'm standing intunnel shamgy my face? What did

(04:50):
what did we all just hear?Oh my gosh. Some people saw it.
Some people were there and they theysaw it. Yeah, So trying
to figure out how I'm gonna setthe we were just like, we don't
know, We're just gonna play itfor the people. And I you guys

(05:11):
are all like, what would justhave this? So that was that was
There was President Biden and if I'venever done drugs, but is that what
it feels like when you're trying tofigure out what is happening and you're just
like in this fog of like confusionand what and you don't feel anything else
because it's so confusing. Is thatthat's I imagine that's what it's like.

(05:34):
That's what we do. Okay,well Wednesday, that's there. You go,
guys, that's the show. Goodbye, goodbye, have a great day,
good night everybody. That was thepresident of the United States. Why
was he telling I'm trying to figurefirst, I've so many I'm made of
questions right now. It's a weirdnews day. There's a several stories that

(05:58):
we're following, and there's there's there'sone big story that I wrote about last
night. There's several stories that werefollowing, and there's a bunch of weird
stuff like what is it's it's theeclipse? You know what it is.
It's a damn Cia. I'm tellingyou what it is. So welcome to
the show. It's you're very confused, still lovable, but a curmudgeon.
In the last Dana lash with youhere at the top of this first hour,

(06:23):
and I am still just trying tofigure out what I just heard,
and me reading the transcript is nothelping. It makes it actually worse.
If I'm being honest about it,I'm it makes it worse. How many
times did you reread that last half? I still don't understand it. He

(06:44):
do you know if something someone wastalking this morning, and apparently they're actually
doing I'm not joking, they're apparentlydoing oh gosh, inter party surveying on
this. So it's not like it'ssomething they're going to release everybody. But
apparently whenever he goes out and talksto anybody, he does badly. It

(07:05):
doesn't go well for him. It'sjust bad. He's just he actually runs
voters away, and that's making itreally difficult for his campaign and the people
in his campaign to campaign with himand to try to attract voters. So

(07:25):
they're they're they're keeping him shut up. I know that they are. They've
been trying to get these debates going, and I think all of the news
networks are like, oh wow,we just realized that this is this could
be a rating bonanza for them.This is where you're gonna see the media
get ignorant, because if you don'tgive the media what it wants, they're
gonna get you. If you don't. They want eyeballs, They need something

(07:49):
to sell their ads on. Theyhave ad time, they need people to
buy it. It's an election year, and if they're not going to get
this debate, then you're gonna Iwould imagine you're gonna start seeing some negative
coverage happen if they don't get thisdebate. Democrats are gonna have to concede
this, and they're gonna have toat least have one debate, one debate

(08:13):
at least. So I don't know. It looks worse though, the more
Biden speaks. There was a politicalpiece this morning, I don't know if
you saw those, and it's literallycalled has Biden considered having an Iran strategy?

(08:35):
And it's not a good it's avery unflattering piece because it portrays him
as as I mean, it's justbad. As one says, they better
get Hunter's coke ready, he's gonnaneed something. They go ahead and get
Yeah, I have Hunter teach him, probably already did. Actually who taught
Hunter? That's a bigger question.So they they write that they literally this

(08:58):
is a sentence in Politico which bythat we will run Democrat opo. It's
just like their articles. Quote.But for most of Biden's time as president,
his aide number one goal hasn't beento solve this puzzle, but to
keep it off the president's desk.They said that the strategies to keep it
low boil on all fronts. Uh. Clearly, these people have never been

(09:22):
in a kitchen. Tell me thatyou've never cooked anything. Without telling me
that you've never cooked anything. Keepingit at a low boil on cane didn't
look like a low boil. Withthe drones and the you know, the
missiles and stuff that I ran wasthrowing over Israel's way, would be the
definition of boiling over. Yeah,actually that would be Yeah, that would

(09:43):
be the very definition of boiling over. I mean, they they can't pretend
this away. Oh it's just sobad. I mean, the political pieces.
But I'm sorry, I'm still tryingto get over that. Sound like
that was the dumbest thing I've everheard. It's one thing when you read
the transcript and you're preparing a nationallysyndicated radio program and you're like, okay,

(10:05):
I just I'm reading the transcript becauseI there's a bunch of other audio
I was looking at, and I'mlike, oh, this it's Biden.
It's you know, yeah, it'scrazy. Of course it's gonna be crazy.
It's another thing when you hear itlive and you're you're listening to it
and you you're I mean, thatguy literally has control of the nuke button.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna move onbecause dude, goosh. But they
said that Biden has political rights,he has no strategy for Iran. He

(10:30):
has well, wait, I takethat back, Yes he does, don't.
Well, what do you mean don't? Uh huh, what do you
mean? Uh uh no? Okay, Well what's no? Don't? Okay,
let's we're back to don't. Canyou elaborate? Uh huh? Super

(10:50):
effective? It's I I don't know. That's his that's his strategy. That
has been history. Now what thatentails. I don't No, I don't
know. I don't know what thatentails. Yeah, he doesn't either,
and neither does anyone. They're justlike, maybe that'll suffice. That's what
the left things. Sounds like ahard ass response. They think that.

(11:13):
Meanwhile, I'm gonna tell you what. I will tell you this. I
don't care where you stand on Trump, and Heaven knows that I have my
critiques. Heaven knows. I don'tcare. I don't care about the mean
tweets. Have you seen me tweet? I don't care about them. Okay,
I don't care. I reveled inthe fact that there was a guy

(11:37):
with a guy in the White House, who everyone else, all the other
foreign leaders, including let's be real, our allies were terrified of not because
I don't think that's because they thoughthe was a brilliant strategist. I don't
think that it's because they thought thathe really understood the lay of the land

(11:58):
and the geopolitical air. I thinkit's because they knew if you ticked him
off and aggravated him enough, ohmy god, he'd probably press that button
on you. And that scared themhalf to death. I mean, you
had short Stack down there and inthe Pacific, in in in North Korea,
who is terrified to do anything becauseBiden or Biden because Trump would say

(12:20):
I'm gonna rain rockets down on you. I mean he would just tweet it.
He didn't focus it, would justtweet it and every and it for
sure freaked out the Pentagon in theDepartment of Defense, but it terrified every
other leader. So they were like, well, let's maybe just chill for
a little bit because he he actuallymight be nuts enough to do it.

(12:43):
Oh no, he is nuts enoughto do it. I mean, it
was just it's it's fascinating, asas Kane said, piece their unpredictable strength.
So I I would take that overdomeand then trying to walk off the
stage, but you don't know whereto go because you're you're barely sentient.
I would really I want the Iwant the everyone's terrified of us because the

(13:05):
Americans have a crazy leader. Iwant that again, because that was peace
right, Like that's nobody really wantedto do anything. I mean, sure
they might, you know, rattlea little saber, but they're not really
gonna do anything because who knows.He may be mad about it while he's
eating breakfast to mar Alago and pressa button. They don't know. So

(13:26):
to me, Kane, that's astrategy. Yeah, I just I really
that's that's a strategy. Oh mygosh. I haven't talked much about the
Trump trial and all that because Ijust I don't care, and you guys
are besieged with it. You guyshave cable news covering at wall to wall
like it's a little Jessica that fellin the well. You guys cover it

(13:46):
enough. Wan and Steve have noidea what I just said, Kane,
that was the first time sidebar fora minute humor me that I think that
was like the first time that itwas real time. Everyone was following along.
And you know that if Twitter existedback then, it would have been
well experts and baby Jessica's in experts, right, it would have been Yeah,

(14:09):
you would have had a whole bunchof well experts. That's that little
girl that fell down the well inTexas. I was in elementary school when
it happened, and I remember watchingit. It was just wall to wall
coverage and it was a big thing, and they finally got her out of
the well. She was trappeding therefor what like two days, something crazy.
She fell in the well in herbackyard plane and it was a big
thing, big ordeal. Wall towall coverage the first time. It predates
OJ, predates all of that.It was the first time wall to wall

(14:31):
coverage, and everyone was just obsessedwith baby Jessica in the world two days
straight. I mean, Oprah dida thing on it. It was every
everywhere, and cable news is reallytreating it, is treating the trials kind
of like the baby Jessica in awell. So you're you're kind of like,
wow, what else is happening?I mean, I get it.
You know, the LA riots werelike that too, but that happened after

(14:52):
so this, Yeah, Baby Jessicain the Well was like the first time
that. Really, can you imaginethe insufferability of Twitter if it had been
around then, Jim Andy Christmas,we probably had a civil war a lot
earlier. I'm just saying, well, I'm an expert on a well.
No you're not. Your parents hada well. Shut up, So it's
true. I feel seen. Right. It's the folks at Caltech and you

(15:13):
guys are very familiar with the subtwo K. We've talked about it for
months and months now, the subtwo K, which is nine millimeter carbon
and they make a lot of stuff, but the Sub two K right now,
this is Gen three, So there'san update. They made some updates
to it. They've got some they'vegot some upgrades. And one of the
upgrades you can always you can stillfold in half. They didn't do away

(15:33):
with that. I mean it's stillyes, you can still do gunn orgami.
It's a twist and fold motion ofthat patent pending rotating forum. But
you can keep your optics on.That's the difference because previously you had to
take everything off detach it to foldin half. You do not have to
do that now with the Gen threeand it just as quickly and easily deploys
as well. And they've also upgradedthe aluminum trigger. It's redesigned mechanics so
it's a lightened five pound pool.They've upgraded action, redesigned operating handle for

(15:56):
added comfort, lightened action for easyracking. You got an ambidexterous bolt hold
open all provides improved manipulation. Theyhave a new chamber indicator. Now that
it's not it's not a replacement forstandard safety, but it you know,
it helps operating it and also madein America right there in Florida, Florida

(16:17):
based, family run owned and operatedCeltech, So you got to check them
out. That's Celtech Weapons K EL T e C Weapons dot Com.
Tell them Dana sent you. Andnow all of the news you would probably
miss. It's time for Dana's quickfive. Oh here's a tax mystery,
says Politico. Why are fewer peoplegetting refunds? Why are we paying anything
at all to the federal government.Why are we paying for the welfare of

(16:41):
the federal stazi aka the n pR people. Anyway, political goes all
the number of people who owe.The government's also been rising. If you're
not getting a tax refund, theysay that you're not alone. Nobody's really
that. It's it's slower every year, and it's a number of people getting
their money back is shrinking. Yes, but the government keeps taking more and
more of our money while paying,while spending more and more and more,

(17:02):
spending us into a hole in theground. We're going to be entirely known
by China, who keeps buying ourdebt. This is insane markets the market
fear. Market fear signals are flashingred as stocks pulled back from record highs.
Via CNBC, they report that thisis I mean, well, it's
been kind of a roller coaster lately, but it's not looking good. We've

(17:22):
been talking about, you know,we had the CPI numbers last week.
We've been talking about and that interestrates now are not going to be cut
because the CPI emits. That's noneof it's good. This Half of the
Iranian missiles launched at Israel were apparentlyduds, and nearly all of the rest
were taken out by the US.And I think even Saudi has shot them
down. Interesting. I told youremember they were like the photoshopping that they

(17:45):
did the last time. Also,this is tech executive predicts a billion dollar
AI girlfriend industry. I didn't havetime to totally get into this last time,
but they say it's the girlfriend's singularity, and it's here AI girlfriends.
Go touch grass. Yeah, gotouch grass, literally go touch grass.

(18:06):
There they're trying to make it.I get the group that's doing it,
that owns tender and all these otherthings apparently there. I would imagine they're
going to try to pattern it likethat to have like AI dating. And
that is the saddest thing I thinkI've ever read. In mind, we
are literally going towards like a futuristicescape. All of the horror films that
about stuff in the future apparently wasall real. I immediately went and looked

(18:29):
at my millennium millennium Falcon. I'mnot gonna line eight hundred and fifty dollars
millennium Falcons and six hundred and eightydollars Titanics. Legos. They're legos are
the old stuff. Actually, youcan get a lot of money for if
it's if it's either I think allput together orf it's still in the box.
But they said, now this islegos are cementing the popularity of them,

(18:52):
the Danish company that does it.It's like they're apparently the world's biggest
toy maker by sales. Now that'swild. Are actually charging that much for
some of these kids? Now,you know, like nobody's nine year old
is putting that together. That's agrown adult doing that. Now. I
brought this up on the show becauseI brought this up like in our slack
discussions, because you know, consideringit's very important to the left. The

(19:15):
left wants to know the backgrounds ofeveryone on every single program. Well,
according to the left, apparently everyoneon the show is also all white adjacent.
You know. But for canaan Wan, do I have to you're Latin?
Now? Hell no, Well that'swhat it says, Latin latine.

(19:37):
That's what the new so hold on, the new woke scolds are saying that,
Oh well it's instead of LATINX,it's Latine. Now, I feel
like that's going to get you kickedin the neck. Yeah, teen Vogue

(19:57):
actually did a whole thing Latin Latin. It's one r away from a toilet
man, Latin latrine. That seemsreally offensive. Just wh why they are
struggling, So you're gonna have torewrite the whole all the Latin based languages

(20:18):
because of the male female nouns andthe wording. You're you're gonna have to
rewrite languages, but Latin. WhenI saw that, the first thing,
Everyone's like, Okay, why youcall me a toilet? Everyone? Why?
Why my toilet? What I meanthat it's made that. I think
people are getting tired of this stuff. Why do you have to change?

(20:41):
And what is it supposed to mean? Is it if you're like a gay
Latin person Latin or is it supposedto signify something? I don't the look,
it's a binary language. They're justgonna have to get over it.
They're they're trying to wipe out theidea of male female, so they hate

(21:03):
the Latin languages that actually, inthe spelling and wording and the way you
speak, the languages indicate a binarygender system and they just can't stand it.
I still don't even know how topronoun LATINX or is it LATINX?
I just now thought I think maybeeven saying it it's latinx I X is

(21:25):
the way LATINX. It's unspelled lA T I n X. I think
the way to say it is tonot at all. Also with this not
at all, say it not atall LATINX. Are you Latin or LATINX?
Do you ever a sidebar? I'vebeen to a couple of places where
I actually left my old ollergists andwent to a new ologist because they had

(21:45):
a new form and it asked mewhat my gender preference was, and I'm
like blank, this blank, andI'm like, here you go. I'm
out left. I didn't even sayscrew you. I'm a joid of dealing
with Yeah, like, how doesyou know? But it I did write
something on the form. I wasshocked at at least they didn't put it

(22:07):
up in the town's facebook page.I'm shocked because I have my name on
it, and I did put somethingon the form because they're like, what
is your preferred? And it saidlike one of the it was like male,
female, non binary, and thenit had like different alphabet stuff,
and then I mean there was likethirteen some odd choices. I can't even
deal. Yeah, yeah, wellno it gets that was at the very

(22:29):
bottom. Uh No, it didn'tsay other. It said it said prefer
not to answer, like you can'ttell, and then there was one that
said the other, but it wasa line. I can't say what I
put on there. I really can't. I'll so get fined. But I

(22:52):
thought after after I like handed itto them and I was like, here
you go, and then I justleft. I realized, oh, I
have my name on the top ofit. Well, there you go.
So I'm just waiting for that.I'm telling you all now so no one
can use it as blackmail on me. Later, I just well, it's
so stupid and like a doctor.It's an allogist, but a doctor's office,
a doctor's office, for the love. So I went to my new

(23:18):
my new doctor, my new allogists, and he don't play like that.
He's like, yeah, that's allstupid, and he's actually a good allogist
that actually solves problems, solves allergyissues like cedar fever. But why the
need for all that? Why?I mean it's it's nobody cares. Nobody
cares unless you're going to a specificdoctor for your bits. Then you should
just be scientifically accurate so that youknow you're not telling the doctor to treat

(23:41):
issues for things you don't even got. Look, if I need stitches or
if I need something because of astomach bug or whatever. That whole question
of my gender doesn't matter. Justgive me stitches, Just give me the
medicine. But everybody's got a virtuesignal. See we're down with the mental
illness. That's what they gotta do. They gotta virtue signal we're crazy.

(24:03):
Do they got a virtue signal aboutit? It's so asinine, it's just
it's just you can't even you can'teven go anywhere, can't even go anywhere.
