Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
A Florida man trying to buy crack on Craigslist was
arrested when an undercovered deputy answered the ad. They Holmes
County Sheriff's Office. Their investigators responded to the ad, posed
as a seller, set up a meeting with the individual
who'd been identified as Anthony Mata. Deputies say that Mata

(00:35):
negotiated to buy an eight ball of meth for eighty bucks.
After finalizing the deal, the investigator met him at the
agreed upon location. They exchange money. Deputies moved in. Yeah,
they on craigslist. It just seems that seems so sketchy.
That's so sketchy, and meth is bad, and these guys
look like they're in an old timey movie.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
I'm just saying, just let's see, I can't read the
dog story.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh my gosh, this guy a daytona Beachman. Douglas Mattney
m at Any. Why Douglas Mattney m at Any, Why
if he looks exactly like a doucher looks twenty one
years old? Charged with felony animal cruelty. He's out of
the Volusia County Branch Jail on five thousand dollars bond.
He apparently shot a two year old black bull pick

(01:25):
mix pit bull mix named Sola, and he shot the
dog in the right cheek because the dog was aggressive
during bathtime and they found him with that. They found
the fifty five pound dog with a bullet wound to
his cheek and it stopped in his abdomen and he
did not get medical attention for the pet. And the
police said that the dog apparently had non functional back

(01:46):
legs and was uncontrollably urinating on itself. It has been
a lot of pain in this guy. I want this.
I want to scout this dude. I just that's my
own personal free speech opinion. I am not you guys
know what I think. Give me five Oh my gosh,
give me sixty seconds, please, for the love of all
things holy, in a locker room with this dude.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I was out on five thousand dollars bomb. That was
my thing.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I mean, that's I know exactly. That's just you know.
This guy's Oh so yeah. I hope he gets it'd
be great if he had some prison time and if
some prison justice befell him. I'm not saying that money
would magically be deposited in the commissary ay of anybody
who was maybe a part of it. But you know,
I'm maybe might be saying that I don't know. I'm
pretty Mayor of Kingstown about some of the stuff. So

(02:31):
I don't know anyway, So that I need a happy
story now because that this makes me, That makes me mad.
That's a horrible story. We could talk about this Florida dude.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Who I don't Oh gosh, these people.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
So this Florida dude, he was denied entry to a
USAA building and he put on a helmet and drove
his car right into the facility. Robert Beatty seventy. He
went to the guard gate at the USS at the
USAA office and demanded let inside. They said, not not
gonna happen. So then he put on a helmet and

(03:05):
drove right through the parking garage and they're through their fences.
They two people in a marked security SUV tried to
block him in, but then he reversed and struck their
vehicle to create some space. He was on the third
floor when they found him. Of the parking garage taken
into custody. He got charged with two felon accounts aggravated
battery with a deadly weapon, one felon account of burglary

(03:26):
of an occupied structure, fell a account of criminal mischief
one thousand dollars or more. He got some more charges.
Thankfully nobody was injured. But I mean the fact that
he went and put on a helmet and then drove
his car.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Through Yeah, I don't I don't know this. Let's see this. No, no,
not doing that.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
One we could talk about the teacher from Port Saint
Lucy found naked any kkid in an elementary school. Joe
Youriyas faces multiple charges including battery on a lawnforce officer,
Somerset College Preparatory Academy and apparently according to Port Saint Lucie,
the thirty four year old your Eyes was found after
police were dispatched to Winpoint Elementary School for a burglary

(04:11):
in progress. When they arrived, they found him naked in
the classroom, among clothes, food, a laptop, drugs, and some
private time accessories. I don't know house to say it.
He reclothed himself and tried to run out of the
building once he was discovered. But guess what they got
him and then the cop that grabbed him was punched
in the face your eyes, was arrested, taken to Saint

(04:33):
Lucie County Jail.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Wow, he's got a lot of charges.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Lude behavior, burglary, possession of arijuana, battery, Longford.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
I mean, he's got a lot. He's got a lot
of charges. That's all you need to know. There's too
much to read.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
He's got a lot and he's going to be in
major trouble, major.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Major trouble.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
So our friends over at Celtech the P fifteen it
stands for fifteen pews standard capacity. That might be a
little bit more for the people who have weak our muscles.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
But Keltech is a great company, at Florida based company
and they have a lifetime warranty on everything that they do.

the polymer gator grip for a true classic look and
field just they're great. They're great pistols. They come with

(05:20):
two magazines. One is the standard fifteen round minimal pinky extension,

millimeter on the market. I mean it's just, you know,

(05:43):

matter if you're season pro or you're just just looking
for another EDC. It's the P fifteen at Keltech Heltech
weapons dot com. That's k E l t e SE
Weapons dot com. Tell them Dana sent you. I want
to come back to the store. We just had a
briefly in headlines and thankfully this is Canada and not

(06:04):
the United States. But the headline is a town was
fined because they refused to celebrate Pride month. It's a
town of thirteen hundred people, so it's a small town.
The town, interestingly enough, is named Emo. It's in Ontario,
and they violated the Ontario Human Rights Code that the

(06:24):
Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario established and they said that
their great offense. I mean, when you think that somebody violated,
just pause for a minute. When you hear that somebody
violated like some kind of human rights code, you think, wow,
that sounds pretty serious, right, I mean human rights super serious.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
What did they do? Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
It says here that they in the month of June
did not proclaim that month Pride month.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
I'm sorry what? Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
And they also were cited because they did not they
had failure to fly and l GBTQ two whatever blah
blah blah blah blah, rainbow flag. It's a ten thousand
dollars fine, excuse me, and all of the officials in
EMO are required to complete mandatory human rights training. See yeah, kin,

(07:19):
what's your question?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Who do they pay it to? Like the fine, who's first?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
I don't know, the games, I don't know. The article
doesn't actually say.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Is the city has to pay the city like.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
What they got a fine Ontario maybe like the Province
of Ontario.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
So they chose not to celebrate.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Well, it's not that they didn't celebrate.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
They just were like, we're not going to put up
these tacky flags because they are taki, but.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
They didn't celebrate to the standard of whoever is criticizing.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Well, I mean, if if your question is, did they
have a parade and fly the flags and send everyone
out and leather dominatrix gear with ball gags like the
gimp from pulp fiction to go out and have like a.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Full on you know, painting pictures.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
A street festival of sex caupaides, then you're correct they
did not do that. There were no street sex caupaids
celebrating pride over how you choose to do it behind.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Closed doors and that costs money.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
I mean, where's the like there you can have pride
and prize of sin by the way, So I think
it's ironic that they're being fined for not celebrating literal sin,
which is pride.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
But whatever, But why is that a thing?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Like why do you got Oh if you didn't fly
the flag, you didn't affirm how someone has to sex,
I would I It's Canada. So they're not going to
fight it. They're going to probably apologize and offer some
maple syrup. I don't know the maple leaf people up there.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Oh ay, we're so sorry a we forgot to fly
the flag.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
A but are they paying the federal government? Are they paying?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Well, I'm no, it's probably Ontario, it's probably I don't know,
it's the Ontario people.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
I don't know who these people are. The Canadians up there.
They issue fines because somebody didn't fly. The town was
asked to fly the alphabet rainbow flag for a week
of your choosing.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I choose no weeks. There's my choosing.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, yeah, you didn't say I had to choose a week.
So the language part is on you, slick.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
I think there's legal wig room here.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I mean, where are the straight people flags at?

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Where's that at? What do we get?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I mean, I just don't think that you're going to
be appropriating the rainbow. First off, that's appropriation, and I
was told that was wrong. So you're appropriating the rainbow
from the Christians. So let's stop there, let's stop. That's
that's that's taken from Noah's time. So come up with
your own thing. We've got to have a straight person's
flag then, and then do you get like the straight

(09:58):
person to for spirit whatever or what about the straight
person flag? And then don't you get like an extra buff?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Well that goes along with it, like like spaghetti and meatballs.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
This straight person or this straight person can successfully eat
at a mammie if it's three beans in without having
to take two bites.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Like, how particular does it get.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Of a medium rare steak flag?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, like the well done people out, get out. You
can't live in America. I don't care if you were
born and raised your six generations. We'll deport you somewhere.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Don't bring that well done flag over here.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yeah, no, well done.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Nothing well done is only for like jobs, not meat.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
So I don't know. I just oh.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
So. They said that there's a group called the Borderland
Pride Group, which sounds like a bunch of terrorist twinks.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
I'm gonna be honest with you. So love I just
love it. They're they're very upset.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
They said, in a single twelve month period, they did
not receive they did not see a single week where
the flag was flown. They said that EMO ignored their
repeated requests, so they got mad about it, and they
said that they need to take human rights one oh one.
I think I'm gonna lead a human rights course. I'm
going to offer it on the internet. I'm gonna offer

(11:13):
a human rights course. So if someone offends you, you
punch them.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Joking, it's totally serious.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
I just this stuff is so dumb, and then I
get mad because I'm like, why didn't I get into this?

Speaker 4 (11:25):
I would love to just fleece the left right.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I could make it up and make up a company, right,
go in there and well, I'm gonna offer you human
rights courses. Now here's the Just make it ridiculous and
they'll go along with it because they're the left. They're
too terrified to be seen as going against the grain.
They the desire to be so homogenous has has killed
any desire for individuality at all, So they are terrified.

(11:52):
They're terrified to poke a head up. No, they got
to go with it. So I feel like that would
you know, no one would ask anything king, because then
I could be like, are you assuming all of these
things about me?

Speaker 4 (12:01):
What? And then oh, no, they don't want to be offended.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
And then we could also form an ancillary like human
rights counsel that we can cite people and then just
pay ourselves from the find that.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Sounds like you're trying to make government bigger.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
It sounds like I just came up with a damn
great job. I'll and that's what it sounds like. I'm
out look, I'm a capitalist. If I can make money
off of somebody's stupidity like that on the left.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
All I'm all for it.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's a good thing that you wouldn't miss it because
we're insane and we're watching all of it. So there's
a town that got fined because it didn't celebrate Pride Month.
And if you're like, wait a minute, was this town
in Canadia, Dana, I would say, y, yes, it was
the Maple Syippians up to the north, the Maple Syipians.

(13:59):
It was a rural town on the border of Ontario
Minnesota in Canada. It was fine for refusing to celebrate
Pride Month in June. Yeah, you gotta go out there
and like sling the salami or something like that to celebrate.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
That's what you gotta do.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
You gotta actually sell it. I mean, how do you
celebrate Pride month? You just like physically have the sex
in the streets like what do you do? No, you
put up rainbow, shut up, says God help me. You
cannot have me an elected office. I would be arrested
for assault, like instantly. They said that the town of Emo,
of course it's called Emo, Emo Ontario, violated the Ontario

(14:35):
Human Rights Code. The town is a population of thirteen
hundred people. Thirteen hundred people, one thousand, three hundred persons.
EMO did not proclaim June is a Pride month, and
they didn't fly the LGBTQ whatever the hell numbers? Why
are their numbers now rainbow flag? And in addition to
the ten thousand and fine, that people from Emo were

(14:57):
ordered to complete mandatory human rights training.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, what does that cost to not celebrate.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
We're coming back to the story. We're coming back to
bookmark this because we've this. We are not even begun. Also,
we had the story earlier. This United Healthcare ceo. This
dude was on his way to a conference. This was
on avenue of the Americas. I swear to you have
stayed at this this Hilton.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
I think I did that.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I stayed at this Hilton for a book tour. So
it's right there. That's what blows the mind. It's right
there in the middle of everything. It's across It's like
right by Rockefeller, It's across from where Jimmy Fallon does
his show. It's like a few blocks down from Fox.
It's right there in Midtown. And yeah, it's that Hilton
Ny And he apparently this guy fifty years old shot
in the chest. It was six forty six in the morning.

(15:45):
He was arriving at for a conference. He's a CEO,
so it's like his conference. So he arrived and apparently
this guy came up behind him in front of everybody
and shot him in the chest. And then he got
on one of those e bikes and went away. He
had on a backpack, and I mean, he looks like,
I don't know, it looks like a professional hit. That's

(16:06):
what they were saying, Like this is like a hit,
like this was not something that was by chance, like
a chance criminal whatever. So they said that the Christmas
tree lighting and all that stuff is apparently still expected
to go on. Just everybody keep your heads on a swivel.
Trump is going to visit Paris for the Notre Dame's reopening.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
For his first trip abroad.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
They're going to be doing different things in different days,
and he's attending one of them. So did you hear
about I didn't know that there was luxury cannabis. I mean,
I guess you could have our teasonal weed. You could
have our teasonal anything, right, But what makes it arteasonal?
I mean, it doesn't get much more arteasonal than growing
in the sequoias with bigfoots, right, I mean, I don't know.

(16:51):
Jay Z had apparently a luxury cannabis company, which is
funny to me, and it struggled to sell fifty dollars
joint I'm sorry? Was it now? I don't know how?
Don't make fun of me?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Shut up?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Does it come in like a curtain like cigarettes? Do
you get like a bunch of the joints? Or is
it just like one?

Speaker 4 (17:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I mean I guess you can buy several, but they
don't come and packs like cigarette. There is a company
that does them, and they make them look like cigarettes,
but they're.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Actually Or do people make their own?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh yeah, no, people mostly roll their own, but they
sell them in pre rolls.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Sorry. Do you do like a grape leaf like with cigars?
Or is it like just like cigarette paper? I'm curious
cigarette paper.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Okay, so were these I guess pre rolled right, luxury joints?
Fifty dollars again, not knowing, I only know like the
hysterical stuff that I've ever seen with Cheech and Chong.
I mean, I'm assuming they're like that, fifty dollars for

(17:57):
one of them.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
How much does that get you? What is what are
we talking about here?

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Is it shockingly real life?

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
It's real life?

Speaker 4 (18:07):
So you get one joint for fifty dollars.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
No, that's what it says here, fifty dollars for one
of his luxury joints.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
I get that their effort, but it didn't work out obviously.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, they lost half a billion dollars since they launched. Yeah,
how do you lose money on weed?

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Make it if you do it.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Stupid, make it really expensive.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
This is like one of the dumbest things I've ever
seen in my life. They act like they're like, oh,
Sean Carter's a great businessman, maybe, but not with this,
because I'm not even in the pot and I could
have told you you're selling one little joint for fifty dollars?

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Are you stupid? It's the luxury joint? What is it like?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Do California condors talent roll it? Like, how does that work?

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Is?

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Are there gold flakes that you smell? Oh? What is it?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Apparently California has a tough legal pot market. I didn't
know that either. It's wild. I love that everybody has
to deal with bureaucracy, like nobody, even the sin even
the sin industries.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
They said that none of this retailers across California and Arizona,
they don't stock jay Z's buds or joints on their
online menus. Yeah, and they had, oh my gosh, this
is Camala level crazy, five hundred and seventy five million
dollars that they launched with and now they're in trouble.

(19:40):
They said that jay Z's monogram products are overpriced and underwhelming.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
And see, you never really get rid of the criminal element.
They say California's legal weed sector has been stymied by
complex rules, high taxes, competitions from black market traders, wildfires,
sliding prices. A lot of people have been pushed into insolvency.
But they said that it was mind boggling the amount
of money that was pushed for this. I could have

(20:08):
told you immediately that probably not gonna work. You're talking
about luxury pot people are broke. Everybody that is broke,
and the people who are gonna be doing this are
probably not gonna be like the j z Rich level people.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
They're gonna be.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
People who think that smokiness makes them jaz Ridge level,
and now they can't afford it because everybody's broke because
of the president Jay z endorsed and his administration. So
I can't say that I feel sorry for him.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
I don't. I just think it's funny, like who thought that?
You know what, we're in a.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Time of it's a it's a lockdown. Let's launch a
luxury cannabis company and charge people fifty dollars per joint?
What else can you make luxury? Like arteasonal Weed? Are
you gonna do artisonal Keefer Kane? It's pretty Artisaal. I
don't know how much more teasingly are you can make it?

Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's pretty art.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Teas and a lone its own. I don't know, a
glass bottles preserved from you know, quaker, I have no
idea what you could do with it it.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, that sounds during a time of inflation. I just
don't think that luxury stuff, especially starting any kind of
luxury line, is going to make it take off. Thanks
