Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsoredby Keltech. It's his laf mission to
make bad decisions. It's time forFlorida man. Yeah, let's do it,
all right. I got a fewfirst. This guy's name is Gene
Oliver. He's thirty three years old, and he is of course from Florida.
(00:20):
However, he is right now,or at least recently, in Manhattan,
New York. He got up onthe top of a high rise,
a high rise he doesn't actually livein, with furniture, which is a
question that I continue to ask,and started just throwing it off the high
rise that he was on top of. He has been charged with burglary,
reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, criminaltrespass. There's now audio that's gone viral
(00:43):
of a neighbors living in this highrise watching this happen and being very confused
as to why the landlord or someoneisn't doing things quicker. I can't believe
that there's not more bad words orany bad words in this audio. How
can the pick this long? Idon't know, I'm long citizen right now
he's giving me the bird. Idon't know why I found that funny,
(01:07):
But on top of the throwing ofthe stuff off of the high rise.
He also is just flipping people off. Because it's not enough to be Florida
man breaking into a high rise witha couch, climbing up and then chucking
it off the top of said abuilding. You also got to make sure
everybody knows how you feel about them. All right, that's one Florida man
story. There are more, andthis actually includes a Florida woman. A
(01:27):
man and a woman were accused ofstealing an AC unit or several AC units
from people's homes. They are William, who's forty eight, and Stormy not
Daniels, who is forty three.Stormy Hernandez is her name. Their mugshots
definitely make them look like grumpy people. But here's the problem with their plan.
Their getaway vehicle was bicycles, sothey had AC units that they were
(01:49):
trying to hold. And if you'veever tried to hold a large item will
riding a bicycle, you know thisis challenging. Even if you can do
the no hands move on the bike, which I can do, you got
to get up to speed first,and you got to usually use the hands
at some point. And air conditionersare not small appliances, so they had
a failed plan to begin with.They wound up being caught. They'll be
charged with grand theft and burglary aswell next time. Not that I'm trying
(02:14):
to help people commit crimes better,but I would think that you at least
bring maybe a wagon or something thatyou tie to the bicycle along with you,
so you can at least drag it. Like a kid who runs away
from home has a better plan sometimeswith how to bring his stuff with him
than these two had when they werestealing. These geniuses when they were stealing
the ac units. That is aFlorida man and a Florida woman. I
(02:35):
have more. A Florida man wasarrested after hitting his roommate with a rock,
shooting him in the nose with apalette gun. I'm not sure exactly
what started the fight. Thirty twoyear old Daniel Reese is the guy who
got arrested earlier this week. Thevictim was fifty six years old in his
roommate. He arrived home, reested, intoxicated and in a mood to argue.
(02:58):
According to some of the things saidto the police, he then,
as I said, throw stuff,got a pellet gun. Out. At
least it's not an actual gun that'sgoing to do more harm. And did
what he did? You know?So this is crazy, This is insane.
If I was the roommate, Iwould have had my real gun by
my side. I would been like, hey, man, don't take any
(03:19):
steps closer to me. This endsbadly for you. But that is absolutely
one more Florida man doing Florida manstuff. All right, let's fire off
one last one. This Florida guywas accused of running an a legal animal
fighting ring, a cock fighting ringin his house. Investigators began calling nine
or excuse me, people began callingnine one one, and investigation started because
(03:42):
the guy had thirty to fifty friendsover and then he had a bunch of
chickens that were in his backyard.And then sometimes neighbors would notice that some
of these chickens would wind up outsideand dead, and they were like,
well, that's probably not normal.And the fifty guys coming over didn't aways
seem like they knew each other allthat well. Detectives did not take long
to investigate this case. They foundat least forty eight counts of animal cruelty,
(04:05):
seventy four counts of animal fighting andbaiting. They set a bond at
twenty five hundred bucks each for onehundred and twenty two charges. This guy
was put in jail in Orlando,Florida, and his bail amount is three
hundred and five thousand dollars because theamount of crazy things going on when he
got thirty to fifty people over,in any scenario, it usually doesn't end
(04:29):
well for you. I actually verymuch remember in college living in Chicago,
in Wrigleyville, near the Cubs.This was twenty years ago, not as
dangerous as it is now, andmy roommate loved to throw social media parties.
Put them up on Facebook. Seehow many people show up, and
sometimes it was horrible. Sometimes itwas awful. And anytime you cram a
(04:49):
large amount of people into a smallspace, you're getting the attention to the
entire neighborhood. I don't know whyanyone doesn't seem to know that. This
guy didn't seem to think his planwould ever be hap be blown up or
hacked, But they were very easilycaught. And the horrible things they're doing.
Nothing ever, that crazy happened atthe parties my roommate would throw in
(05:10):
our house By the way, theworst thing I ever remember is drunk people
being asleep in my front yard whenI would get up for work the next
day if I had to work onsay a weekend or something, And that
was really weird because you just kindof like kick people by the foot and
be like, hey man, youprobably shouldn't be here, you should probably
be anywhere else. They're like,oh, dude, sorry, and then
they go there's no smooth way towake up in someone else's front yard.
(05:35):
I don't think I ever met asingle dude who made that seem like he
had made some good decisions of thenight before. But then again, I
guess I should self reflect we werethe ones throwing the party that included these
idiots, though maybe that's partly onus, although I was never the one
putting it out on the social mediafor all the people to show up,
and I imagine now that being evenworse decision than it was back when Facebook
(05:56):
was relatively new. I agree withAnnie Oakley who said quote, I would
like to see every woman know howto handle guns as naturally as they know
how to handle babies. Now,I myself regularly concealed carry nine millimeter now
that's said, not every woman islike me, has had the hours of
training that I've had, or itfeels comfortable around firearms due to years of
use, or maybe they're by agun free zone. I like to change
that what I can, while encouragingself defense at the same time. So
(06:19):
this is where BURNA comes in.It's kind of like a starter weapon.
It's they make a non firearm firearm. I like the idea of incredible force
sending chemical irritants towards a threat asan additional option for women, and the
Berna SD model shoots chemical irritant projectilessixty eight caliber rounds that can deter threats
(06:41):
in their tracks up to fifty feetaway. I mean it is hard,
easy target acquisition, zero recoil.Burna is legal in all fifty states.
There's no background checks, no permitsrequired. It's shipped directly to your door.
Gun free isn't applicable to Berna.It's great for wherever guns are banned.

r NA dot com slash Dana.This is the Dana Show. My name
(07:10):
is Craig Collins. Filling in thrilledto be with you. The disappointment of
this dad is off the charts.And I guess this actually happened on Father's
Day at Father's Day dinner, whichmakes it even worse. A brother put
this up on social media. Hissister, the daughter of the guy who
seems so heartbroken. I was askinga very very dumb question, and I
(07:31):
thought about telling you what it was, but it's revealed toward the tail end
of this audio, and I thinkit's better that way because you hear all
the sadness and then eventually the dadrepeats what it is that's cutting him so
very very deep. Here we go, Oh wrong, ask question? Please
(07:51):
still love me. I don't knowwho Hitler is? Can please not right
now? On Father's Day? Iknow it's your favorite bathtime? Look this
right here really cut me deep?Yep, that I have to explain.
(08:16):
Yep, that's something he had todo. His daughter asked him if Hitler
was dead or alive, and thenhe said, honey, do you know
who Hitler is? And she triedto skip the question. That's the real
thing that happened, a real thingthat went viral all over social media.
I love the sadness in this guy'svoice, because I would feel it if
this was my kid. And theyopened the door and they're sitting down at
(08:37):
the table with me for a nicefamily Father's Day dinner, and somehow it
comes up that they're not aware ifthe leader of the Nazis is dead or
alive, if he did or didn'tkill himself as we were closing in on
him many many years ago, somethingthat almost anyone who knows anything about history
should probably know. Here we gowrong. You like you don't ask you
(09:01):
a simple question. It's a badquestion. You still love me? That's
probably my favorite part. I know, I know. Do you still love
me? No? I do not. I don't know who Hitler is?
No, she doesn't. I canCan you explain this? Please? Not
(09:22):
right now on Father's Day? Iknow it's your favorite bath time. Well,
this right here really cut me deep? It should have. Did I
have to explain that? To behonest? He sounds a little bit like
e Or in Winning the Pooh,and he deserves to because his daughter is
not aware if Hitler is alive ordead. I'm not going to get sick
(09:43):
of that audio. I don't thinkI'm ever going to get sick of that
school systems need to be changed.I don't know how, but we need
to fix that. Uh, thisis interesting. Five hundred and eighty thousand
glass coffee mugs have been recalled.This is about you know, fifty or
so that have caused injuries, anda whole bunch of other ones that they
think will cause injuries. This isbecause the coffee mugs can't hold hot liquid.
(10:05):
That seems to be a flaw inthe coffee mug itself, if you
don't have the right ingredients in thething so that it doesn't fall apart shatter
into just pieces of shards of glassif you put anything hotter than say,
lukewarm into this. But they arerecalling the joy Jilt Dell Can single wall
glass coffee mugs. I guess thefact that their glass too might have been
(10:30):
a inherent demonstration of potential risk.I've been out for a lot of people.
As I said, fifty people haveactually been injured by said coffee mugs,
and so apparently because of that,they're now finally deciding, you know
what, go ahead, give thoseback to us. We'll try again later.
Another thing just quickly that I sawout there before we take a break.
America is number one in taking thefewest vacation days. Americans are given,
(10:54):
on average, about twelve vacation daysa year by their employers, and
only about fifty three percent of us, or excuse me, forty seven percent
of us actually take those days.Fifty three percent don't take all of them.
You probably don't take your sick dayseither. You show up at work
sick, give up a few vacationdays, and the employer tells you they
care, And not a whole lotof employers care as much as they should,
(11:16):
So take them. Take your days. Two thirds of us feel like
we don't step away enough when we'reasked the question, are you taking enough
vacation? But then we're leaving vacationon the table. I guess the only
good thing about it, and thisis odd, but I'll just put it
out there, is that if youdo get canned from a job, or
if you quit a job, youget all those vacation days as pay.
They still get given to you inone lump sum at the end of all
(11:39):
this, So I guess that's thecaveat if you're saving them up for a
rainy day. It's a weird versionwith absolutely no other financial benefit to you
other than you wait to get thatmoney till later, to wait until you're
canned, or you quit to takethat vacation and put it in the paycheck.
All right. Also, and thisis crazy, and I'll talk about
this probably a little bit more later. Some of them Ferkans would like to
(12:00):
visit the dentist at two am.No, not because of an emergency,
just because they think at that timeof the day it'd be the least disruptive
to them in their work day ortheir schedule. I just said, we
don't take enough vacation days. Idon't want to start doing my dentist appointments
at two am. But some peoplewant this, and some dentists are thinking
about being twenty four to seven.Cal Tech is a great company. Three
hundred awesome Americans work here. GeorgeCalgrin immigrated the right way, came in
(12:24):
from Sweden, went to Cocoa,Florida, and created an awesome boomstick company
founded in nineteen ninety one, andit's an innovative Florida based creator of pistols,
rifles, shotguns, as well asall kinds of accessories and gear.
And they've continued the mission of gamechanging innovation and performance with their sub two
K Gen three. It's a light, it's foldable, it's effective, and
(12:46):
you don't have to detach your favoritemags are your favorite optics. Also,
you just fold the whole thing inhalf and it also just as quickly and
easily deploys. Actually, just rememberedI got some stuff in from Celtech that
I just literally this weekend that Ineed to unpack and take to the range.
They need to go take my toysout. But they're all quality made
right here in the US of aCeltech, made in America, family owned
(13:07):
company, family owned values, Theyemploy veterans, they stand behind what we
all believe in. And it's justanother great American company that makes stuff that's
useful to you and supports your naturalrights. See all Keltech has to offer

Follow them on social media so youcan be in the know and stuff
drops. It's kell Tech Weapons dotCom. Tell them. Dana sent and
(13:30):
now all of the news you wouldprobably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick
five. All right first, andthis is just a freeb for you.
Now. Apparently McDonald's has realized thatwe don't like expensive McDonald's, we like
Kate McDonald's. So they not onlyhave debuted a five dollars meal deal,
they're also given out free fries onFriday, which is harder to say than
(13:50):
it should be, but free fryFriday is a thing now. I don't
know exactly how you're going to beable to acquire the fries outside of buying
the five dollar deal. I don'tthink you can just show up and be
like bry Me and they'll do thatfor you. But they're doing things that
demonstrate that they absolutely understand. Ithink it's a minimum one dollar purchase actually
to get some free fries. Theyabsolutely understand that the big draw of McDonald's
(14:11):
for a very long time was notthe quality of the product, but the
price of it. Not that I'ma hater, I grew up on a
happy meal, so I like myselfsome McDonald's. If you guys are interested
in doing any kind of advertising,I'm your guy. But nonetheless, it's
something that I think is important tomention that they're finally understanding it at least
a little bit. Probably not goingto recover as much business as you not
(14:33):
want though, Until all those pricesgo down, all right. Another thing
out there that I thought was interestingbrand new research into the world of getting
losing your hair going bald as youget older. Researchers from the University of
Manchester have discovered a biological mechanism thatcauses hair to thin. The team is
hopeful that their discovery could lead toa cure for baldness in the future.
(14:54):
The British team uncovered the link whiletesting a drug to see if it's effectively
if it could effectively boost hair folliclesand the human scalp. Essentially, your
hair is stressed, not just youand your stress, but your hair itself
feels like it's just, you know, not in it. Today. They
don't really want to do stuff andso it slowly starts to fall out.
(15:15):
They can help to restore the orI guess calm down, it'd be awesome.
I feel like your hair just hadto smoke some pot or something.
Not that I'm trying to advocate forthat, just saying if you chill out
a little bit, apparently it helpsyou and they might be able to help
chill out the follicles and the cellsin a way that might keep you some
hair up top I would like thatvery much. As I get closer to
(15:37):
forty and hair is going missing,I do not like that at all.
Another thing out there. I dothink there was one mistake that's what cost
this lady her five hundred thousand dollars. So a gym owner tried to fake
her own death. Her name isKaren. She's forty two years old.
She had an insurance claim all setup, and she tried to go ahead
(15:58):
and pretend that she you know,I wasn't here anymore. Now here's the
flaw in her plan. She hasa business partner, but she didn't want
to let the business partner in onthe whole. I'm going to pretend to
be dead and then try to makean insurance claim. So she tried to
be her business partner. She triedto disguise herself as a different person and
go pick up the insurance claim onher own death. And that is not
(16:22):
going to work out a whole lotof the time. You can't show up
yourself to your own funeral and stilltrick everybody, no matter how good of
a mustache you're wearing, know howgood of a disguise you put on.
I love the effort, though,you know, I love the old attempt,
but they did see through the plan, they did figure out what the
issue was. She did get introuble for that, and they now know
that she's not dead because she triedto make that claim herself. I think
(16:47):
the only way you do that isif you're a twin. You know what
I mean. The only way yougot a shot is if you're an identical
twin. And even then you feellike you're leaving somebody out there who knows
stuff they shouldn't know. And I'mnot encouraging to do anything about that.
All right. A couple other quickones for quick five. This was interesting
to me. Both gen zers andmillennials are no longer just quiet quitting at
their workplace, which means where youkeep showing up, you keep taking a
(17:11):
paycheck, your job gets worse andworse, you do less and less.
They're also now quiet quitting their friendships. They just stop talking to people,
or they talk to them as littleas possible to make it seem like they're
still friends when they're really not.They just slowly disappear. This might be
because you don't like people. Ihave a simple piece of advice for anyone
out there that's struggling with not likingsomeone, especially if they keep trying to
(17:34):
ask you to hang out or wantto be friends with you. Just tell
them. It might sound mean,but actually I think it's nicer because they'll
hate you for it telling them thatyou don't like them, And that's good.
Now you've helped them move on andnot want to be friends with you
anymore. You don't want to befriends with them anymore. Somebody somewhere is
going to say you're a jerk,and who cares about that? That'll be
totally fine. One last one Isaw that I thought was interesting. A
(17:57):
woman put up a diagram of rulesthat she called toilet cubicle etiquette. These
are things that she thinks are correctand incorrect about how to use the restrooms
in a public bathroom for the women'sside of the equation. Men have made
jokes about this on social media togive space in between one guy and another
(18:18):
guy going number one in the samespot. Apparently, this is a very
deep dive this lady did put upon social media, and people are ripping
her apart for it because it's inclosed spaces. Ladies. All right,
I got to take a break alot coming up in a bit. Craig
Collins filling in on the Dana Show. This is the Dana Show. My
name is Craig Collins filling in dLash on Twitter or Dana Lash Radio on
(18:41):
Twitter or two great ways X tofollow her as well. I love a
social media account called end Wokeness.That's all it's called. And it's yesterday.
I think shared a viral episode ofa TV show that happened maybe over
a year ago that was crazy wokeand now it's got another one. It's
a scene from ABC's Station nineteen wherea young woman who is pregnant gonna have
(19:04):
a child, decides to change yourmind at the last second and ask her
doctor what the sex of her childis gonna be. Is a real thing
happened on real television out of California. I'll play it for you and we
can react to it together. Okay, Okay, I actually hate surprises.
Okay, what am I having?Are you sure? Yeah? Assuming that's
(19:30):
how we'd identifies this maybe, Okay, here's what I love about this one,
and I know I'm just laughing atit. It seems like they added
that audio in there, assuming that'show it identifies because they're like, oh,
our episode of this show is notwoke enough anymore. We gotta force
something else in that definitely doesn't soundnatural even a little bit at all.
(19:52):
Here we go, Yeah, assumingthat's how we identifies it. I love
that we could just do that aslike a you know what it could be.
It could be just in some people'sheadphones. You go to a movie,
you get the unwoke version of themovie that a lot of us would
really enjoy, and then if youcan't handle it, we give you a
(20:15):
set of headphones and it changes allthe things said to woke stuff. That
way, you can enjoy the moviewith whatever your rules are. And I
don't have to actually sit through thiscrap as often as we have to sit
through this crap right now. Butthat is hilarious, And that is one
of yet another set of things thatare being shared on social media by this
account that is demonstrating how much beingbeaten over the head right now by things
(20:37):
that we absolutely don't need to bebeaten over the head about, because darn
it, they think they're doing good. By the way, our president who
is hold up a camp. Davidwas in front of reporters for a very
short amount of time, I thinktoday, and as he was walking,
they asked him a question. Theyyelled at him, how's debate prep going?
And he just looked at them.I'm not sure if that means good
(21:03):
or bad. I imagine he's nothopped up on the amphetamines and whatnot else
yet, so it's probably gonna bebetter or who knows. To be totally
honest, who knows. There's anotherthing out there that's going viral. And
I know it's a Friday. Iknow we talk about a lot of political
news on radio. A lot ofpeople do it, but I'm tempted to
(21:25):
do something else. Heidi Klomb wason Hot Ones and if you don't know
what that is, it's a YouTubeshow that's gotten a lot of following,
a significant following because people eat hotwings and answer quote unquote hot questions in
the world of media. But HeidiKlumb is going viral because as she was
(21:45):
eating her hot wings she took hershirt off. She had another shirt on
underneath a tank top. But HeidiKlomb is being praised on the internets for
the way in which she responded toyou know this situation. I have audio
and it's just the the host ofthe show kind of reacting the way you
might expect me to react. Idon't even know if I should play this.
I don't even know if I needto play this, but I do
(22:07):
find it pretty funny that this haslike six million views on Twitter on x
right now already, and millions ofother people are reacting to just this little
tiny snippet of the show and howthis host seemed to be frazzled more by
chlom without a shirt on over hertak top than anybody was by eating the
(22:30):
hot wings. Yeah. I don'teven need to play it. I think
you get the gist of it,but it's just hilarious. Those are the
moments in the Internet that I likea lot of times. The Internet does
a lot of stuff that's just annoying. Now, there's a lot of people
that go out there to scream andyell from what is essentially they think their
rooftop and it's really just their Twitteror whatever account it is. And those
people, my favorite, I usuallyare also ones that say they don't want
(22:53):
to be on Twitter, like Ihate being on this platform, but well
I'm here. Let me tell youfifty seven things that I think that you
get wrong no matter who you are, if you disagree with me. But
then you see something like this,the Heidi Klum thing go viral, you're
like, all things aren't so bad. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition
