Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
So a naked Florida man was accused of burglarizing a home.
Thank heavens, they clothed him before his mugshot, because nobody
wants to see that this guy's supposed to be twenty four.
Putnam County deputies arrested a Keitin Mercier for burglary and
on a warrant for aggravated battery by strangulation. He had

(00:36):
a previous conviction. When deputies arrived on the scene, the
twenty four year old had put on a pair of
breeches pair underwear, but he refused to leave. I mean
it came home Sunday and he found a naked burglar
right inside his house. He called the cops and so
this mercy guy was taken to the hospital because he
had the guy. He attacked the homeowner and he had

(00:58):
to be taken well. He attacked a previous homeowner. He
had to be taken to the hospital Trader for cuts
on his arms and legs that he had sustained from
breaking into the home. They also suspected he was pretty
high as the kit on drugs. They found all kinds
of glass pipes you know, that were in his possession.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
So he was arrested.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Can you imagine, man, this is why guns were invented,
by the way, and not need gonna mess with. No
naked man in my house, breaking into my house. Nope,
that's no, not gonna happen. Also a now, okay, this
is what I wanted to talk about yesterday we were
in out of time. So a Florida father was dealing

(01:36):
with his son being bullied. And apparently the son was
being bullied by another classmate who happened to be a girl.
And so what ended up happening, and.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
It's all on video.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
A little girl was bullying the guy's son. This Florida
girl was bullying this Florida man's son. And she was
doing it right in front of the dad, like she
was running her mouth in front of other adults because
she knew that she was going to be protected. This
is where the chick card comes in, right, So she
was like calling them all kinds of invectives and the
dad slaps her right on video. Of course, you know,

(02:11):
they call the police. The dad goes, I mean it
was battery, and he said, wasn't the right thing to do.
This is why boys need sisters. Also that build needs
her ass beat by her parents, and if her parents
don't do it, her parents.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Should have her ass beat. So tired of this stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
If you don't want me raising your kids, you'd ever
get them online in public, or I'll step in and
do the job that you failed to do as an
egg or gammy, don't or done with it.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
I really do like All Family pharmacy.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
You know why I like All Family pharmacy because when
I was sick over Thanksgiving, I knew it was strep throat.
I knew it was happening. You know why, because I've
had strup throat eleventy frillion times. I don't need to
go to the doctor and pay you an exorbitant copey
to have the doctor tell me what I know about
my body and have known about my body for forty
somighty years. I knew I was getting stripped. Guess what
I was getting strapped? I was correct, and so I

(02:56):
ordered sem antibiotics from All Family Pharmacy and I had
it overnight and I got it. I started taking it
and guess what. It healed me because you know, I
knew going through all of this. You know your body
with certain things. And All Family Pharmacy they specialize in.
They have, like I mean, over two hundred different types
of medications. They also have iverymectin for the flat earthers
out there who think it's bad, it's not, and you

(03:18):
can go read about it.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
At All Family Pharmacy.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
You can stock up on essential medications, you can bulk order,
and they have a doctor that they work with obviously
for prescriptions. But this is a way. It's great if
you like, for instance, sinusitists, you know, like I said,
strap emergencies, things like that. It's simplified care, no insurance,
no problem. Everything is super affordable. And the favorite thing,
the thing I like most about them is everything that
they do is made right here in the US of A.

Do you guys hear this story about this couple on

(04:01):
what airline was this They were on Cutter or Qatar.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
But it's Cutter Airways.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
From Melbourne, Melbourne and Australia to Doha, the Qatari capitol,
and then they were on their way to Venice.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
After that, Why you'd take that leg of a flight?
Good gosh.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
So they said that Mike Mitchell, Ring and Jennifer Colin,
they were on this Cutter Airways flight. Ten hours into
the flight, a woman leaves the restroom, collapses, kicks the
bucket right in front of them, and they were telling
an Australian news program, It's cool to Karen's event, they said.
They were telling them their story. They were it was

(04:39):
their dream trip to Venice, right, So how do you
deal with something like this?

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Right?

Speaker 3 (04:45):
You're that it sounds like they were kind of in
the back too, like near the lavatories, because if she's
coming out of the lavoratory.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I don't know what kind of plane it was.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
I'm just assuming, although it sounds like maybe, I mean,
because they could have lavoratories in the middle of the
front end of the back.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Anyway, the crew put the dead body in their row.
They said, oh, hey, can you because they were dealing
with it. The couple said that they did everything they could.
It was heartbreaking to watch because they couldn't save her,
they said. Mitchell Ring said, they looked frustrated, and then
they looked at me and saw that there was a

(05:20):
seat available beside me and my wife on the other side,
and they said, can you move over please, and he
just said, okay, no problem. And then they placed the
dead body in the chair he was in, so they
couldn't even like access the aisle without crawling. They couldn't
get up for the remaining four hours. And then they
said when they arrived they dealt with the body and

(05:44):
cutter owned by the government. They said in a statement
to the press, quote first and foremost or thoughts with
the family. The passengers sadly passed the way onborne. I'm
find oh oh apologize for any inconvenience or distress the
incident may have caused, you know, et cetera. The couple
said they were not allowed to change seats for the
remainder of the flight. They were told they had to
remain seated. Medical medical staff addressed the body upon landing.

(06:07):
They were not offered any support at all after they
were just sent next a dead body for four hours
on a flight on their way like they're they're an
older couple and they'd saved for the stream vacation and
they what do you do, right? I mean, granted, when
you're on a plane, there's limited limited places you can

(06:29):
put the body. Why does it got to go in
the seat right there? I mean you get some room
in the back. I'm not trying to be mean or crafts,
but at the same time, that's their responsibility to be
prepared and it's not the responsibility of this couple. The
babysit the dead body and have it in that road.

(06:50):
That's just wildly What would you have done, Kane, I would.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Ask right away, because wouldn't they have a spot in
the plane that you can put someone who's maybe being
on ruly.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Or like a brig yeah or something like that. They
don't have any like one list Oh.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I think that maybe that should change. You should be
able to have like a little hatch and drop somebody down.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
That's what I'm saying, like down in that where they
keep all the luggage in the belly of the plane
maybe or something.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
I don't know either.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I mean, I guess you have to measure out, is
it meaner to the family of the dead body, or
meaner to the people who have to sit next to
the dead body.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I mean, the person's dead at that point. I mean,
it doesn't matter what you do with their body. I mean, right,
Or are we one of those people like some of
my family members who believes that it's still spiritual and
it's still alive or something like that, and you got
to go and do your Southern graveyard vigil and all
that stuff.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
I don't know, is that where we're at?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
But if I had to be sitting next to the
dead body.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, you said, who gets your arm rust?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
The arm that needs the rest?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's just that would be the body and the family
of the dead body.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Who gets the extra meal? Are the extra like.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Talking about the living human being gets the extra meal?

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
It seems mean to the family of the dead body.
Are they just someone's food out like that? I'm just saying,
I'm just, you know, I just the whole thing is wild.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I don't even know what I would do.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
I yeah, that one is and it and it I
can't hate. Like there apparently were like the flight attendants
did not let them get a different seat. I mean,
I don't know. I don't know how far away the
original seat was from the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
You think a dead body would get their own row?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Like would you would I be bothered sitting next to
a dead body?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Hell yes.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I don't like sitting next to live people. I don't
want to sit next to a dead one. I have
a hard enough time. Don't even ask me my reaction
if I have to sit next to someone, especially if
it's a dude or an unkempt woman who wears open
toaed sandals and has dirty feet. It's like we're not
the hot it's going to mortor clean it up.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I get real weird about this stuff, Like why couldn't
they have just set her on the toilet in the bathroom?
Typically there are two bathrooms, you know what I'm saying.
Why couldn't you set the person if it's in the back,
there's two bathrooms. Why couldn't you just set her in
one of the bathrooms in the back. Why did she
have to sit next to these people for four hours?

(09:25):
Stuff happens to the dead body in four hours, y'all.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I and yes, you can put into an airline bathroom,
you can put a body there.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
I'm just trying to think out loud, right.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Uh when does rigamortis sit in?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well, this is where I'm not a corner corner or
a mortician.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
We have a family friend who's a mortician. Fascinating all stiff.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
You can't just put them in a seat.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, Like if they're in the aisle too, and you're
like pegged in by the dead body, like how do
you get out all over that? Like?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
What in the world? It's so? I am real. I
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I like I said, I don't like sitting next to
living people. Sometimes it includes my own blood, uh much
left sitting next to a dead person.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I feel like I'm not see and you know what,
Lorrange just made a good point, like why not put
it in the window seat? I don't know why they
didn't do that. They did not put the dead body
in the window seat, or at least you know that
put it in one of the bathrooms. I will say,
you will have a quiet seat, mate. Yeah, no one's

(10:39):
you know, no one's gonna talk your arm off or
your ears off. Nobody's gonna you know, talk you to
equal death, you know, and and.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Don't you like bowels empty and stuff when you die? Yeah, Like,
I don't want to sit next to that, either living
or dead.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
I can't imagine. I just I don't even know how
you approach that, that whole thing.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
I mean, some people wouldn't mind it. I mean, do
you get a free drink out of it? I'm just saying,
if it's cut our airlines, they probably don't have no
drinks on their planes, do they. You don't even get
you have to suffer the indignity of being on a
dry plane sit next to a dead body.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
I mean, I think I'd rather hang out on the wing,
I think, right, or I'll go sit in a laugh
I'll I'll go do that.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
That'll be fine. I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
I just can't believe that the airline was not better
prepared than that. I mean I can, but you know,
I choose to have a little bit of incredulity. So
I just feel so bad for that because they had
to go to Venice after that. People who help bring
you the program, it's our friends over at Celtech, the
PR five, the PR fifty seven, It is a five

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Tell them Dana sent you.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
And now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Data's quick five.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
A break from your smartphone can reboot your mood I
don't know why people have to be told this. They say, Now,
apparently here's how long you need. I think this is
so dumb. We're just getting so dumb as a species.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
We're smad.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
And by the way, if you're reading this horrible NPR
story that we paid taxes to have written, they bury
the lead literally one two, three, four, five paragraphs in,
so it's not even a properly written story.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
They literally so you could.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Just discount all of the everything. So they're saying because
they don't answer their they don't answer the question in
their headline. They just say that you need to take
a break, but they don't tell you how long you
actually have to take a break. For that, it's good
for different people to take breaks. We paid money for
NPR to write the Dribble. They bury the lead five
graphs in. Learn how to write a story before you
pretend to be a journalist. Dear Heavens. Malibu beachgoers were

(13:40):
warned to avoid six sea lions after more than a
dozen were reported in distress. Who made them sick? Is
what I want to know? And can I beat them up?
They said, fourteen of them we're in distress over the
past week. They said, demoic acid toxicity is apparently the cause.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Isn't the beach like in caliber, Isn't there just like nasty? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
I have a friend that lives in San Diego and
they were taking pictures of the beach near them, and
it was saying like, don't go, there's like sewage in
this area. Like they literally had a side. I didn't
even know that it existed there. California Wildlife Center said
that the uh, there were sea lions in distress over
the last three days. They got a lot of calls
from them, but they said that the acid, it's like
contaminated fish, smaller marine life. If they eat toxicology, it

(14:22):
can sicker, sick, and bigger animals.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
That's essentially what it's all down to.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Egg smuggling is on the rise because Americas are facing
high prices.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Maybe you could just get a chicken. I mean, why.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
A crypto gambler shot himself on a live stream after
he lost five hundred dollars into a meme coin investment.
I can't believe that you would actually spend five hundred
dollars on a meme coin. I mean, that's sad, but
you know, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
It's sad. Just you know, be smart, don't be dumb.
Did you guys hear?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
This is my favorite story right now? Can I take
you back for a moment two? Go back to when
they shut the government year was this? They shut the
government down under Barack Obama? Under Obama Biden. Remember when
they had that bigg government shut down and they put
like a oh my gosh, what are they saw horses?

(15:18):
Those little barriers? Is that what they are? Are like
like a saw horse. I don't know what else to
call it. I know they have a different name, like, no,
it's not like a bike wreck. It's like the oh
it's a barrier, but it looks like a saw horse
or a pommel horse.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
You know what I'm talking about with the legs and
then the book The thing sounds right, Okay, somebody will
tell me and if I see it, great, But you
know what I'm talking about. There were photos of them
putting those like barriers up at national parks and stuff
like that. Remember they shut down the outside, They shut
down the outdoors and the government shut down. You can't
go to the parks, the trees are closed. Remember all that. Well,

(15:55):
if you like that, I got another one for you.
So in the in the the rush to try to
create sob stories, I guess out of all the federal cutting,
they came up with a new one. Here's the Washington Post.
Long lines and canceled rentals. Firings bring chaos to national parks.

(16:19):
Trump's purge of federal employees is all pretty harming the
visitor experience at national parks across the country. Now, they
ended up talking about this, I don't know this. Apparently
they said that some of the park workers have the
keys to the bathrooms, and some people aren't gonna be
able to use the bathroom, or some people, if they're

(16:41):
in the bathroom, would if they get like for instance,
they said, we have endless things that have to be secured,
Like I have this guy talking about how he has keys,
talking about how he has keys to the restrooms. How
did people go to the bathroom before they had public restrooms? Cane,
it's a wonder out in the woods in nature. It's crazy.
They said that the firings are going to cause disruptions

(17:06):
reminiscent of the pandemic. Shut up visitor centers, campgrounds could
close or reduce their hours. They said that some of
the bulk of it's going to occur in the heavy season.
One park has seen immediate impacts. So this is this
Washington Post piece and they're talking about like restrooms and

(17:27):
things of that nature. And they said, oh, they you know,
they were teaching park visitors about, you know, the history
of the public parks and the history of the landing
because haven't forbid, you can't google it, you know, I
don't know, maybe you can't. Maybe Google's broken and doesn't
do that, so it could be you know, you could
break search engines and hide those results. So you have
to have people getting a paycheck and staffing it the

(17:49):
I mean, it's like very ollas shrug, but are going
to happen? I just like someone was saying that they
were complaining about, well, who's going to have the keys
to the bathroom if they if they do this, you know,
it's I just I can't even the fact that we're
even having this discussion, I think just underscores the lack
of seriousness around this whole entire thing. It just there

(18:13):
in you know, cymody, hang on, I pulled this up.
This is ABC seven. Somebody hung an American flag upside
down from El Capitan at the Yosemite National Park, the
three thousand football of sheer Granite, most fabled rock face.
Somebody hung a flag upside down, kan What did we
learn about? The left had particular thoughts about hanging flags

(18:35):
upside down? Do you guys you remember what those were,
especially as it pertained to like Supreme Court justice's wives,
for sure. But yeah, I'm I'm just curious. Weren't we
told that that was like an insurrection or something to

(18:55):
have the flag upside down, or it was evil to
have the flag upside on something to that effect. It's bad,
but now it's okay again. Yeah, they said, Oh, parks
employees are scared that parks are gonna get close down
because you cannot operate the parks with that people cleaning
the bathrooms. That's an actual line in ABC seven dot Com.
ABC seven Eyewitness News covers southern California. They said that

(19:20):
they they can't operate the parks without the people cleaning
the bathrooms. I mean, like, OMG, what bears don't even wipe?
Those bears don't wipe. I mean does a bear wipe
in the woods?

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I don't know. Does if you didn't see it, then
it didn't happen. I guess right.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
It's like you know Schroededer's dog, I don't know Schroeder's cat.
I don't know same thing, right. Thanks for tuning in
