Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time for
Florida Man. So a Florida man pushes this old, broke
down Mustang in a desperate attempt to escape a trooper.
(00:22):
Oh boy, this Florida man. Dash cam footage from Florida
Highway patrol. Oh my gosh, that's his face. Yes, dude,
he's got more tats on his face than some of
my friends who have a ton of tats. Uh yeah,
just did he put them anywhere else?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Are they just all on the face.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
If anybody's missing, if you were like, if there's a
shortage of tattoos, it's because this guy has them all
on his face.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Uh so Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Apparently the car wasn't doing so well and the guy
gets out and because he at first he changes lanes
and the trooper thought the guy was gonna pull over, right.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's not what he did.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
He got out and started pushing his car like he
was going to flee and push his car fleeing. If
you guess that this Florida man there there, it is
right there, one showing you with the unmistakable face decorations.
(01:22):
If you thought that he got away, you'd be wrong.
He totally didn't get away. I mean, believe it or not.
It made it easier for them to arrest him, I know.
So he went to the pokey that I can't even ma'am.
A Florida man who challenged, oh this is gross President
(01:42):
Trump to quote fight me naked to the death is arrested.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Why would you?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Why do you have to be naked? Like?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Is there just.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
More nobility in being naked when you fight to the death?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I mean, is there a heightened level of danger? I
don't know. Kendall Aaron Todd. He loves having double letters
in his name, clearly A R, O and T D D.
And why do you have three first names? That's not right.
You don't get three first names anyway. This guy he
made threats against he's forty two. He's forty two. He
(02:18):
looks like he's sixty something. Dude, hate makes you age. Man.
He was charged in Saint Lucy County because he posted
the threats online. He had a rambling eighty second clip
where he said, because of him, every single person in
the world is cursed. He called the He called Potus
the Antichrist.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
He said that.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
He He said, quote Donald Trump has personally made business
decisions which have hurt so many different reincarnated Jesuses end quote.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
He was arrested.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The county sheriff, Richard Del Toro, said that the threats
were quickly flagged by Secret Service, and you know, because
the guy wouldn't stop escalating his behavior, he got the
attention that he wanted. And they also challenged Trump to
fight him naked to the death. His bonds half a million.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Oh uh, that's so.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I don't understand these people. Also, we have the v
N number. Then do I want this one? This is
a dump dump truck theft? I don't know. Can I
just share with you this obituary. A Florida man is
being remembered for leading a life consisting of Marlboroughs, fast
(03:35):
women and Ford Broncos, which sounds like an ad for America,
gotta say. Arthur Nixon Bates Tampa Bay Times published his obituary.
He's succumbed to his life of drugs, That's what it said.
He's survived by his three daughters, none of whom know
how they'll get bye without their dad calling to ask
for twenty dollars for cigarettes. And methadone one last time.
(03:58):
Oh yeah, they hate me, hate him. They said that
he still haws me twenty bucks. I would have given
you Marlboroughs. He was cremated and his oh bit, well
it's a memorable one. There you go. It's brand new,
the Keltech PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in
five to seven, redefining the game with cutting edge design
(04:19):
and performance. It is the lightest thinnest five to seven
on the market. It's forty percent lighter than the next
five to seven. The innovative rotary barrel makes it the
lightest five to seven on the market. It's built to perform,
and it doesn't have magazines. The unique top loading design
replaces traditional mags with stripper clips for a slimmer carry
(04:39):
profile and a twenty plus one capacity. My favorite thing
about this is that the left can actually say clips
and be right for once. It's hysterical. And the MSRP
is only three ninety nine, y'all. It is affordable for everyone.
Mother's Day, Father's Day, regular days, all the days. You
can get one three ninety nine MSRP. It's only from Keltech.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Tell them Dana send you. So this guy was in traffic.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh, thank you. This guy was in traffic. This is
audio sun by twenty four We have a million. Everybody
did a great job getting audio today and we have
a million soundbites.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So that's why I'm like.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Where is it? Twenty five thousand? So this this was
a couple of days ago. And so this was uh
in the middle of the road in Seattle. Of course
it was in Seattle, Kine. And this dude, he's masked,
like in his car, you drive unmasked, okay, do sure?
He gets out. He follows this lady because she's driving
(05:44):
a Tesla. I want you to watch what happens here.
This is insane angry because she was driving a Teslash.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I was thankfully by myself.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Lee was on the way to adult gets appointment lynn
Wood Wednesday morning when she says, all of a sudden,
a driver behind her just laying on the horn as
they came up to a red light.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Things spiraled out of control.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
When a white SUV followed her and cut her off,
stopping in the middle of the.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Road, gets out and walks straight up to my door window.
So I cracked my window and I said, what what
is for the problem?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He goes, you need to sell your car.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
This is a Nazi car. You're driving it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You need to sell your cap said, she's been driving
a Tesla for the last two years.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
She says, a man wearing.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
A camouflage jacket and a ski mask attacked her for it.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
It's really sad like that. This is what's happening to
people who honestly, it doesn't affect how I believe or
what I believe.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
She's driving a car and this this dude pulls up
and he's like, Miriam, that's a Nazi car.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now, that's Volkswagon. That's what that was.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Look at their history and that's interesting. Laying off all
the left is still driving today. But I'm I'm not
saying it's still a Nazi car.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They're going to get somebody killed. These leftists are going
to get somebody killed. Jimmy Kimmel joking about it about
them being Nazis and all this stuff. Just the other
just the other day, we played that audio, and then
you've got like an audio sound bite like for instance
twenty eight Jamal Bowman. Listen to him go off here,
and then people wonder where they're getting this this these
invectives from listen.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
That's not true. And this shows again the American people
do not trust Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is incompetent
in his position. And how do we know because they
fired tens of thousands of people's challenging court. The court
said the people have to go back, and now the
people are coming back. He's incompetent, he's a thief, he's
(07:45):
a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's a Nazi.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Trust so how many Jewish people that he killed?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Jamal Bowman? Like, let's like really drill down on this.
Everyone I don't like is a Nazi.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's what the left is.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Or everyone I don't like is hitler.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's Godwin's law. They always go back to this.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, if they can't swindle you with race hustling, then
they're gonna swindle you with this. What makes someone per
Se a Nazi for driving a Tesla? What makes tesla
a Nazi car? What makes Elon Musk a Nazi? Oh
my gosh, I get that they all share the same
brain cell, but who has custody of it right now?
I think that the person who's going on television talking
(08:22):
about it should maybe get custody of the brain cell
for that period of time and then you can give
it to the next person, since clearly there's the scarcity
of intelligence on the left. That's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What makes why is that Nazi?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
They realized that Nazi Nazi national socialism. They were socialists, right,
and they were nationalists and they were socialists. What do
you mean it's where that term comes from. Yeah, this
is it's insane. And then you've got yeah, here's bowman
san Muscu's trying to be the real life Tony Stark.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Put a Nazi Stark. Listen so crazy? Whyman so know this?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Congressman Lola did not answer the yes or no questions.
Should this be concerning? Yes, absolutely, Elon Musk is trying
to be the real life Tony Starck.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
No, he's not trying to be.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
He is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Actually all he needs is a super suit. No he is.
He's not trying to be. But that doesn't make him
a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Just he's going through waste, fraud and abuse and recommending
cuts to our Congress, and the left says that that
makes him a Nazi. Do they know what Nazis are?
Do they know what happened with the Holocaust? Do they
know what Hitler believed? I mean, I feel like they
do because they practice it within their own political ideology.
(09:45):
But then they want to be They want to pretend
to be blind and not recognize it because they would
incriminate themselves. So everyone else is the Nazi. See if
everyone else is the Nazi, can they can't be the Nazis.
That's how that defense works. This is so stupid. We
are in the dump. I'm so disappointed by the Internet.
(10:07):
I hate it. I really hate the Internet. I think
the Internet is humans downfall. That's when everything started going
downhill after that. And here's why we thought it was
gonna make us super smart and we would have all
the answers at our fingertips. Research is so much easier, right,
But now look at us. Everything I don't like is
a Nazi. That's what the left is doing, mouth breathing
(10:28):
and calling everybody Nazis. You drive a Tesla that we
like two minutes ago, you're a Nazi. You got douchebags
pulling other smaller women over on the side of the road,
coming out wearing.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Their ski masks.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, juicy, smallly egg coming out wearing their ski masks,
going up in aggravat and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They said, she's a mother. She sounds like she's ten.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
She sounded like this super sweet, driving her to little Tesla,
going to where she needs to go, and these guys
and they're doing this. It was in Lynnwood, Washington, outside
of Seattle. Apparently there have been several attacks on Tesla
vehicles and store property there. And then it was on
March ninth, they had several acts at a Tesla service
(11:08):
center in Linwood, and that was the same city where
this happened. How much you want to bet that the
guy who pulled this chick over is one of the
people involved in that. They've been graffeeding Tesla vehicles, putting
swastikas on them, all kinds of stuff. It's just crazy,
just crazy. The Left is going to get someone killed.
(11:29):
And I kind of I have to ask that, is
that the point you're mad that your spigot is being
turned off, You're mad that billions of taxpayer dollars aren't
funneled into Act Blue and play parenthood and at Stacey
Washington's campaign and spending money. You're mad that the spigot's
been turned off, and you're blaming the agency that we
(11:49):
all voted along with this president to recommend cuts.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Here's why I get so mad.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I've had the Left go at me six ways to
Sunday just because I've defended Second Amendment rights, and they've
called me a terrorist and everything else. These jackwagons are
out there actually advocating for domestic terrorism and they're not
condemning it. When it happens, every single one of them
should be hung by this yoke. They all endorse it.
Either condemn it or you endorse it. We're going to
(12:19):
play by your rules, and by God, it's going to
be glorious. So either condemn it or you endorse it. Choose,
choose your story. We'll match your energy. Gold prices have
surged over forty percent since January twenty twenty four, consistently
reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research, the upward
(12:40):
trend is expected to persist due to strong demand from
central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me take
action and why I've bought precious metals like gold and silver.
I've partnered with a great company that makes it super
easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple. And that company
is gold Co. They're a huge supporter of this show

Speaker 4 (13:27):
It's time for Dana's quickfive.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I gotta say, like, for the first at least a
couple bars of that song.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
You don't know if it's gonna be Vanilla Ice or Queen.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You don't know until you hear you know, Freddie Mercury going,
but it at them you don't actually know.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
You gotta wait, all right, So we got a headlines
for you. Oh let's see here.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You can buy pop up panic rooms and bulletproof vests
from a supermarket. I'm just gonna say, pop up panic
room doesn't sound super safe, you know what I mean.
That's like sitting in a tent for uh you pop down? Huh.
If it pops up, it pops down. Yeah, and it
can pop over, you know what I mean? Like there's
there's but now that's something that they're making available. And
(14:09):
of course everything decides to freeze because it's Friday, and
it's all Hitler. It's what the left does, right. I'm
just gonna just say everything I don't like as Hitler.
But according to this piece, supermarkets are selling these items
in Germany reinforced bunker. It's not okay, we're again. If
it pops up, it's not reinforced. Let's stop.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Their store is called Norma.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's a discount chain and Germans are worried about personal safety,
so they're panic buying. Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Norma?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's the name of their store. I mean, I don't know.
We had a Schnooks in Saint Louis and our friends
from Lavia would go, We'd like to go to the Schnook.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The Schnook that's hysterical.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I love it all right, So that's I mean first
and foremost. Secondly, five men arrest oh boy, five minute
were arrested because they decided to have a torque off
in the middle of an intersection. Yep, that's where we are.
It's in Memphis. It was a downtown Memphis intersection, supremely busy.
Wreg says that they noticed a Chevy Malibu stopped at
(15:11):
a green light. Four men were seen tworking around the vehicle.
One did was dancing on the hood, and they were
all charged with obstruction of a highway or passageway. They
were taking to jail so it wouldn't happen again, and
one of them got a wrant had a warrant out
for vandalism, and so they all look literally like a
in living color skit like the Wayne's brothers decided to
(15:32):
do an in living color skit with Wanda featuring Wanda,
and that was with Jamie Fox with Wanda.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That's what, don't you know. Let's see, a man was
nearly electrocuted.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
He cut a copper wire and knocked out power in
all of northeast Philly. Maybe don't steal copper maybe, because
that's what he was doing. He was a would be
thief and he got damn, you're killed himself. He's in
his thirties or forties. They said he broke into a
Transformer box by cutting the lock. Oh, this never goes
well high voltage wiring, guys. And it was still active
(16:02):
when he cut it, and it caused a fire around
the Transformer box and a knocked out power for a
half hour for a huge chunk of northwest or northeast Philly.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Stick.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Whether we've got more in store after this, I can't
believe it. But a game has made the entire country
of Japan mad. Japan is mad. They're mad overall of
what's been happening. And here's why, because they decided to
make the game stupid and woke to the nth degree.
(16:31):
They've done a lot uh to the point where the
Prime Minister of Japan took a question at a presser
and this was actually just the.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Other day, a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
He responded to a question about Assassin's Creed Shadows during
an official government conference. And it's a feudal it's in
it's in like feudal Japan. That's where it's set. Ubisoft
is the company that it puts the title out, and
they're they are concerned about the depiction of shrines and
other stuff, and aren't weren't they like replacing certain characters,
(17:08):
like like actual Japanese characters with like different totally other
different minority characters, Like didn't they put like a black
character in a feudal japan thing?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And uh oh, one of them is gay?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Now, so probably you're gonna have to sodomize some dude
in order to get to the next You can't press
any through that cut screen.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You just gotta go through it. I'm joking it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's just probably probably probably not that, but maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Is it that bad?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You don't know?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It could be. We'll go with it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Hey, the New York Times can do what they do.
I can say that dems to rules. Are you all
right over there dying?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Half of these people are on spring break. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They're not gonna remember it tomorrow, that's okay. Uba Ubisoft
apologized a ton of times because they had to delay it.
They had aspects of the game that we're making. There's
like a million page thread on subreddit that's just forever
and the I mean they've been pretty I think Japan's
always been very like they don't like stuff with a
(18:10):
lot of crime, and you know, you got to be
a you know, just play a game. Have bad guys
are bad guys. Good guys are good guys, you know,
and and that's it. But they decided that they were
these the game makers decided that they were going to
make everything woke for some reason. I have no idea why,
but you know, that's the what they decided that they
were going to do. And now everybody is upset, and
(18:32):
the Prime Minister of Japan, they had Ubi Steff apologized.
They said, uh, you know, we tried to acknowledge elements
in our promotional materials had to do with a shrine
that was in some of their promotional materials.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
And.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They it was the It's Assassin's Creed shadows and the
religious shrine. And I'm looking at one of the stories,
there's like this this this famous gate in Agus and
it was sort of like kind of like the center
of the atomic bomb World War two, all this other stuff,
and the way that it is, the way that it's portrayed,
(19:10):
the imagery, et cetera, is apparently like offensive in Japanese culture.
Long story short, and it's it's been viewed by many
Japanese as being demeaning. And I think Japanese buy and
large just as one of the reasons why during Lockdown
I got really into anime and South Korean dramas because
they hate wokery. I mean I watched a they really
(19:35):
hate wokery. It's you know that isn't absolutely just disallowed.
And yeah, it was the main character, yes, okay, the
main character who they rewrote the history of some of
these historical characters to shoehorn them into a very woke
(19:55):
modern interpretation without judging or without taking into consideration how
insanely offensive that was going to be to Japanese and
Japanese culture.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
This is when Wolke goes way too far.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
So now the whole country's upset everybody, and I mean,
I get it, they're very upset about it. And they
said that, you know, this is not really so much
a freedom of expression, it's demeaning culture, et cetera. And
the Prime Minister said, how do I address this legally
is something we're going to have to discuss with the
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Education, et cetera. They
(20:32):
called it defacing a shrine, et cetera. People are now
questioning tourism. There's like all kinds of stuff happening as
the fallout from this, and all because they tried to
be stupid and woke with this game title.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Why Okay, I have a question.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Why did they got to make anybody gay in a
flippant action game?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Don't answer? I really?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Does it matter? When I play Little I?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So in Space Marines two, I'm a little I'm literally
a black dude and my whole I don't care sounds
like appropriation. No, I'm being appropriated. I'm blaying this. My
character is a black dude and he's a ass. He
goes in there and he just blows everything up. He's amazing.
(21:20):
I just that's what I was assigned by the game.
I was assigned to that by the game. So I'm
I'm I don't understand this idea that there has to
be a representation for everything, because it's about the gameplay.
If you're spending so much time getting involved in the
character like that, then you're not actually playing the game,
(21:43):
because that's just like cosmetic. It doesn't like the armor
doesn't mean anything, you know, like your outfit doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You get little chotchkes.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
You can get little adornments for your armor and things
like that, like in Space Marines two or in uh oh,
my gosh, I can't even think of it Warhammer Dark Tide.
You get like little things that you put on your
rifles or all this that you win. If you have
you know, you have a good game whatever, good session,
and it doesn't actually do anything like the characters. It's
(22:14):
just like a fun a side that makes it a
little bit more believable. But you know, you're playing a game.
The gameplay is the gameplay, right, The story is the story.
I don't understand why they have to add all of
these stupid woke elements into it, because I actually think
that distracts from the gameplay. And I just think that
if you are and like one of our contributors over
(22:37):
at chapter and verse, the same that particularly with this character,
Lady Oichi. She is apparently like this very well respected,
you know, historical character. She's like the symbol of honor
for women in Japanese society, and they portray her in
this game as being nothing but like an.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Scame that's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You can't be doing storylines, especially when they had when
they're you can't do storylines like this. You can't disrespect
actual historical truth, and you can't disrespect cannon. I have
no idea what they're doing. I haven't played, Like I said,
I haven't played this title in a long time. Anyway,
I'm definitely not going to now. But these games need
to stop. It's like with Borderlines. Borderlines got so bad.
(23:25):
The UH, the one of the last ones that I played,
they had UH one of the not a boss but
like one of the UH leaders the protagonists that was
supposed to be on your side was an actual unicorn
called butt Stallion and bark Rainbows. I'm not even making
this up like that? Would you did you ever play
that one? Kay?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
It was so woke.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
It was unbearable, unbearable, and then there was like a
training general Like I can't play that. The gameplay was great,
the open world concept was great, the design was great,
the weapons were cool, but it became absolutely unbearable. Oh,
the movie was heinous. I would not have cast the
way that they did, but it is what it is.
(24:07):
So that being said, one of the reasons why people.
This is such a big deal. Is this is the
last frontier of unregulated and by unregulated, I mean non
woke expression and activity. And that's one of the reasons
they're targeting it so bad. Everybody left games alone because
they thought, oh, this is where the nerds go. But
a lot of people play. I play, I mean casual.
(24:27):
I'm not a pro, you know. I have a pretty
sweet setup. But I do Console, not PC because I
grew up playing PC, and I'm like, I'm always going
to do Console because I'm a grown lady and I
did Doom and all of that stuff on the piece.
I would sit at my desk in high school and
PC and I played everything under the sun. So I'm
not going back to those days. I want console, but
(24:47):
it's and I like it because it's fun. It's like
a hobby. Everybody's got different hobbies. You play a game
on your phone. I don't like playing games on my phone.
It's stupid. I'll play Solitaire on my phone. That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I prefer going on console.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I just think it's fun, it's enjoyable, it's a nice hobby,
and it's one of the reasons. Another reason I like
it is because it is an escape from all of
that stupid stuff. It's like, no matter what you do anymore,
whether it's sports, whether it's entertainment, music, there is always
some injection of you can't get away from it, the
(25:20):
insufferability of wokery.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You cannot get away from it.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And this was one of the final places where you
could go and you could actually get away from it.
You didn't None of the stereotypes from modern society apply
in gaming, and I think that's what makes it so
attractive to so many people. And it's fun. I mean,
you are it's literally a merit based how would I
say it would way of socializing in a way? Wouldn't
(25:47):
you put it like that? Cane? I mean, if you suck,
then you suck, and you're gonna have a harder time.
But they're targeting it so much and Republicans are dropping
the ball. They are not paying attention to this, and
they should, although I will say Musk has been talking
quite a lot about it, and I hope that more
people in the administration talk about it because this, now
(26:08):
me looking at this in a purely Machiavellian sense, is
a totally untapped.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Market of voters.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What are you doing. Oh my gosh, it's a totally
untapped market of voters. And by and large, these are
people who just want to be left alone and they
want to live their lives and not be meddled with
by the government. That makes them natural allies. You realize this, right,
because that's what we all believe, right, So this makes
them natural allies. So I really wish Republicans wouldn't discount
(26:39):
gamers or these big blow ups that they see. Don't
ignore it because it literally is the last wild West,
and they only just realize that, oh, this is an
area of society that we haven't messed with yet, and
now they're trying to. That's what gamer Gate kicked off.
Gamer Gate was but all of that busting out into
(26:59):
the open. And so don't even if you don't play games,
maybe your kids do or maybe your grandkids do. And
these people are natural allies. Don't think that their nerds
in that because again, I literally I will never give
you I'm not giving you my gamer tag, but I play,
and I'm like, I really enjoy it, but not everybody is.
(27:21):
You know, maybe it's a nerdy thing to do, but
it's fun. Don't discount it. It's a great I mean,
this is a great way to get out there and
do like, you know, voter outreach, but not the goofy
way that Tim Walls does it. They sat down and
tried to play, and you knew that these people I
never played nothing in their lives. So I play if
because I can hear your questions. No, I don't do sports.
I don't play sports because if I wanted to do sports,
(27:42):
I'm gonna go and do sports. Right. I'm not gonna
sorry guys, Sorry, I'm not making fun of you guys
that over there. I'm not gonna, you know, like mad,
and I know a lot of you all aren't mad.
And I don't do that. I do like a horror
first person shooter.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
That's what I do. So we got a lot more
on the way.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I could spend the rest of the hour talking about this,
but I figure the hate mail will start coming. Thanks

Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time for
Florida Man. So a Florida man pushes this old, broke
down Mustang in a desperate attempt to escape a trooper.
(00:22):
Oh boy, this Florida man. Dash cam footage from Florida
Highway patrol. Oh my gosh, that's his face. Yes, dude,
he's got more tats on his face than some of
my friends who have a ton of tats. Uh yeah,
just did he put them anywhere else?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Are they just all on the face.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
If anybody's missing, if you were like, if there's a
shortage of tattoos, it's because this guy has them all
on his face.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Uh so Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Apparently the car wasn't doing so well and the guy
gets out and because he at first he changes lanes
and the trooper thought the guy was gonna pull over, right.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's not what he did.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
He got out and started pushing his car like he
was going to flee and push his car fleeing. If
you guess that this Florida man there there, it is
right there, one showing you with the unmistakable face decorations.
(01:22):
If you thought that he got away, you'd be wrong.
He totally didn't get away. I mean, believe it or not.
It made it easier for them to arrest him, I know.
So he went to the pokey that I can't even ma'am.
A Florida man who challenged, oh this is gross President
(01:42):
Trump to quote fight me naked to the death is arrested.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Why would you?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Why do you have to be naked? Like?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Is there just.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
More nobility in being naked when you fight to the death?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I mean, is there a heightened level of danger? I
don't know. Kendall Aaron Todd. He loves having double letters
in his name, clearly A R, O and T D D.
And why do you have three first names? That's not right.
You don't get three first names anyway. This guy he
made threats against he's forty two. He's forty two. He
(02:18):
looks like he's sixty something. Dude, hate makes you age. Man.
He was charged in Saint Lucy County because he posted
the threats online. He had a rambling eighty second clip
where he said, because of him, every single person in
the world is cursed. He called the He called Potus
the Antichrist.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
He said that.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
He He said, quote Donald Trump has personally made business
decisions which have hurt so many different reincarnated Jesuses end quote.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
He was arrested.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The county sheriff, Richard Del Toro, said that the threats
were quickly flagged by Secret Service, and you know, because
the guy wouldn't stop escalating his behavior, he got the
attention that he wanted. And they also challenged Trump to
fight him naked to the death. His bonds half a million.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Oh uh, that's so.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I don't understand these people. Also, we have the v
N number. Then do I want this one? This is
a dump dump truck theft? I don't know. Can I
just share with you this obituary. A Florida man is
being remembered for leading a life consisting of Marlboroughs, fast
(03:35):
women and Ford Broncos, which sounds like an ad for America,
gotta say. Arthur Nixon Bates Tampa Bay Times published his obituary.
He's succumbed to his life of drugs, That's what it said.
He's survived by his three daughters, none of whom know
how they'll get bye without their dad calling to ask
for twenty dollars for cigarettes. And methadone one last time.
(03:58):
Oh yeah, they hate me, hate him. They said that
he still haws me twenty bucks. I would have given
you Marlboroughs. He was cremated and his oh bit, well
it's a memorable one. There you go. It's brand new,
the Keltech PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in
five to seven, redefining the game with cutting edge design
(04:19):
and performance. It is the lightest thinnest five to seven
on the market. It's forty percent lighter than the next
five to seven. The innovative rotary barrel makes it the
lightest five to seven on the market. It's built to perform,
and it doesn't have magazines. The unique top loading design
replaces traditional mags with stripper clips for a slimmer carry
(04:39):
profile and a twenty plus one capacity. My favorite thing
about this is that the left can actually say clips
and be right for once. It's hysterical. And the MSRP
is only three ninety nine, y'all. It is affordable for everyone.
Mother's Day, Father's Day, regular days, all the days. You
can get one three ninety nine MSRP. It's only from Keltech.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Tell them Dana send you. So this guy was in traffic.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh, thank you. This guy was in traffic. This is
audio sun by twenty four We have a million. Everybody
did a great job getting audio today and we have
a million soundbites.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So that's why I'm like.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Where is it? Twenty five thousand? So this this was
a couple of days ago. And so this was uh
in the middle of the road in Seattle. Of course
it was in Seattle, Kine. And this dude, he's masked,
like in his car, you drive unmasked, okay, do sure?
He gets out. He follows this lady because she's driving
(05:44):
a Tesla. I want you to watch what happens here.
This is insane angry because she was driving a Teslash.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I was thankfully by myself.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Lee was on the way to adult gets appointment lynn
Wood Wednesday morning when she says, all of a sudden,
a driver behind her just laying on the horn as
they came up to a red light.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Things spiraled out of control.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
When a white SUV followed her and cut her off,
stopping in the middle of the.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Road, gets out and walks straight up to my door window.
So I cracked my window and I said, what what
is for the problem?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He goes, you need to sell your car.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
This is a Nazi car. You're driving it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
You need to sell your cap said, she's been driving
a Tesla for the last two years.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
She says, a man wearing.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
A camouflage jacket and a ski mask attacked her for it.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
It's really sad like that. This is what's happening to
people who honestly, it doesn't affect how I believe or
what I believe.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
She's driving a car and this this dude pulls up
and he's like, Miriam, that's a Nazi car.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now, that's Volkswagon. That's what that was.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Look at their history and that's interesting. Laying off all
the left is still driving today. But I'm I'm not
saying it's still a Nazi car.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They're going to get somebody killed. These leftists are going
to get somebody killed. Jimmy Kimmel joking about it about
them being Nazis and all this stuff. Just the other
just the other day, we played that audio, and then
you've got like an audio sound bite like for instance
twenty eight Jamal Bowman. Listen to him go off here,
and then people wonder where they're getting this this these
invectives from listen.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
That's not true. And this shows again the American people
do not trust Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is incompetent
in his position. And how do we know because they
fired tens of thousands of people's challenging court. The court
said the people have to go back, and now the
people are coming back. He's incompetent, he's a thief, he's
(07:45):
a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's a Nazi.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Trust so how many Jewish people that he killed?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Jamal Bowman? Like, let's like really drill down on this.
Everyone I don't like is a Nazi.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's what the left is.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Or everyone I don't like is hitler.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's Godwin's law. They always go back to this.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, if they can't swindle you with race hustling, then
they're gonna swindle you with this. What makes someone per
Se a Nazi for driving a Tesla? What makes tesla
a Nazi car? What makes Elon Musk a Nazi? Oh
my gosh, I get that they all share the same
brain cell, but who has custody of it right now?
I think that the person who's going on television talking
(08:22):
about it should maybe get custody of the brain cell
for that period of time and then you can give
it to the next person, since clearly there's the scarcity
of intelligence on the left. That's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What makes why is that Nazi?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
They realized that Nazi Nazi national socialism. They were socialists, right,
and they were nationalists and they were socialists. What do
you mean it's where that term comes from. Yeah, this
is it's insane. And then you've got yeah, here's bowman
san Muscu's trying to be the real life Tony Stark.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Put a Nazi Stark. Listen so crazy? Whyman so know this?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Congressman Lola did not answer the yes or no questions.
Should this be concerning? Yes, absolutely, Elon Musk is trying
to be the real life Tony Starck.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
No, he's not trying to be.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
He is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Actually all he needs is a super suit. No he is.
He's not trying to be. But that doesn't make him
a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Just he's going through waste, fraud and abuse and recommending
cuts to our Congress, and the left says that that
makes him a Nazi. Do they know what Nazis are?
Do they know what happened with the Holocaust? Do they
know what Hitler believed? I mean, I feel like they
do because they practice it within their own political ideology.
(09:45):
But then they want to be They want to pretend
to be blind and not recognize it because they would
incriminate themselves. So everyone else is the Nazi. See if
everyone else is the Nazi, can they can't be the Nazis.
That's how that defense works. This is so stupid. We
are in the dump. I'm so disappointed by the Internet.
(10:07):
I hate it. I really hate the Internet. I think
the Internet is humans downfall. That's when everything started going
downhill after that. And here's why we thought it was
gonna make us super smart and we would have all
the answers at our fingertips. Research is so much easier, right,
But now look at us. Everything I don't like is
a Nazi. That's what the left is doing, mouth breathing
(10:28):
and calling everybody Nazis. You drive a Tesla that we
like two minutes ago, you're a Nazi. You got douchebags
pulling other smaller women over on the side of the road,
coming out wearing.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Their ski masks.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, juicy, smallly egg coming out wearing their ski masks,
going up in aggravat and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
They said, she's a mother. She sounds like she's ten.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
She sounded like this super sweet, driving her to little Tesla,
going to where she needs to go, and these guys
and they're doing this. It was in Lynnwood, Washington, outside
of Seattle. Apparently there have been several attacks on Tesla
vehicles and store property there. And then it was on
March ninth, they had several acts at a Tesla service
(11:08):
center in Linwood, and that was the same city where
this happened. How much you want to bet that the
guy who pulled this chick over is one of the
people involved in that. They've been graffeeding Tesla vehicles, putting
swastikas on them, all kinds of stuff. It's just crazy,
just crazy. The Left is going to get someone killed.
(11:29):
And I kind of I have to ask that, is
that the point you're mad that your spigot is being
turned off, You're mad that billions of taxpayer dollars aren't
funneled into Act Blue and play parenthood and at Stacey
Washington's campaign and spending money. You're mad that the spigot's
been turned off, and you're blaming the agency that we
(11:49):
all voted along with this president to recommend cuts.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Here's why I get so mad.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I've had the Left go at me six ways to
Sunday just because I've defended Second Amendment rights, and they've
called me a terrorist and everything else. These jackwagons are
out there actually advocating for domestic terrorism and they're not
condemning it. When it happens, every single one of them
should be hung by this yoke. They all endorse it.
Either condemn it or you endorse it. We're going to
(12:19):
play by your rules, and by God, it's going to
be glorious. So either condemn it or you endorse it. Choose,
choose your story. We'll match your energy. Gold prices have
surged over forty percent since January twenty twenty four, consistently
reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research, the upward
(12:40):
trend is expected to persist due to strong demand from
central banks. It's stuff like this that's made me take
action and why I've bought precious metals like gold and silver.
I've partnered with a great company that makes it super
easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple. And that company
is gold Co. They're a huge supporter of this show
and they're the best at what they do. And right
(13:01):
now you can get a free twenty twenty five gold
and silver kit jam packed with critical information about buying
precious metals. It was a huge help, not just for me,
but to all of you. If you do this and

Speaker 4 (13:27):
It's time for Dana's quickfive.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I gotta say, like, for the first at least a
couple bars of that song.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
You don't know if it's gonna be Vanilla Ice or Queen.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You don't know until you hear you know, Freddie Mercury going,
but it at them you don't actually know.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
You gotta wait, all right, So we got a headlines
for you. Oh let's see here.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You can buy pop up panic rooms and bulletproof vests
from a supermarket. I'm just gonna say, pop up panic
room doesn't sound super safe, you know what I mean.
That's like sitting in a tent for uh you pop down? Huh.
If it pops up, it pops down. Yeah, and it
can pop over, you know what I mean? Like there's
there's but now that's something that they're making available. And
(14:09):
of course everything decides to freeze because it's Friday, and
it's all Hitler. It's what the left does, right. I'm
just gonna just say everything I don't like as Hitler.
But according to this piece, supermarkets are selling these items
in Germany reinforced bunker. It's not okay, we're again. If
it pops up, it's not reinforced. Let's stop.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Their store is called Norma.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's a discount chain and Germans are worried about personal safety,
so they're panic buying. Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Norma?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's the name of their store. I mean, I don't know.
We had a Schnooks in Saint Louis and our friends
from Lavia would go, We'd like to go to the Schnook.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The Schnook that's hysterical.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I love it all right, So that's I mean first
and foremost. Secondly, five men arrest oh boy, five minute
were arrested because they decided to have a torque off
in the middle of an intersection. Yep, that's where we are.
It's in Memphis. It was a downtown Memphis intersection, supremely busy.
Wreg says that they noticed a Chevy Malibu stopped at
(15:11):
a green light. Four men were seen tworking around the vehicle.
One did was dancing on the hood, and they were
all charged with obstruction of a highway or passageway. They
were taking to jail so it wouldn't happen again, and
one of them got a wrant had a warrant out
for vandalism, and so they all look literally like a
in living color skit like the Wayne's brothers decided to
(15:32):
do an in living color skit with Wanda featuring Wanda,
and that was with Jamie Fox with Wanda.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That's what, don't you know. Let's see, a man was
nearly electrocuted.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
He cut a copper wire and knocked out power in
all of northeast Philly. Maybe don't steal copper maybe, because
that's what he was doing. He was a would be
thief and he got damn, you're killed himself. He's in
his thirties or forties. They said he broke into a
Transformer box by cutting the lock. Oh, this never goes
well high voltage wiring, guys. And it was still active
(16:02):
when he cut it, and it caused a fire around
the Transformer box and a knocked out power for a
half hour for a huge chunk of northwest or northeast Philly.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Stick.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Whether we've got more in store after this, I can't
believe it. But a game has made the entire country
of Japan mad. Japan is mad. They're mad overall of
what's been happening. And here's why, because they decided to
make the game stupid and woke to the nth degree.
(16:31):
They've done a lot uh to the point where the
Prime Minister of Japan took a question at a presser
and this was actually just the.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Other day, a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
He responded to a question about Assassin's Creed Shadows during
an official government conference. And it's a feudal it's in
it's in like feudal Japan. That's where it's set. Ubisoft
is the company that it puts the title out, and
they're they are concerned about the depiction of shrines and
other stuff, and aren't weren't they like replacing certain characters,
(17:08):
like like actual Japanese characters with like different totally other
different minority characters, Like didn't they put like a black
character in a feudal japan thing?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And uh oh, one of them is gay?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Now, so probably you're gonna have to sodomize some dude
in order to get to the next You can't press
any through that cut screen.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You just gotta go through it. I'm joking it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's just probably probably probably not that, but maybe I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Is it that bad?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
You don't know?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
It could be. We'll go with it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Hey, the New York Times can do what they do.
I can say that dems to rules. Are you all
right over there dying?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Half of these people are on spring break. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They're not gonna remember it tomorrow, that's okay. Uba Ubisoft
apologized a ton of times because they had to delay it.
They had aspects of the game that we're making. There's
like a million page thread on subreddit that's just forever
and the I mean they've been pretty I think Japan's
always been very like they don't like stuff with a
(18:10):
lot of crime, and you know, you got to be
a you know, just play a game. Have bad guys
are bad guys. Good guys are good guys, you know,
and and that's it. But they decided that they were
these the game makers decided that they were going to
make everything woke for some reason. I have no idea why,
but you know, that's the what they decided that they
were going to do. And now everybody is upset, and
(18:32):
the Prime Minister of Japan, they had Ubi Steff apologized.
They said, uh, you know, we tried to acknowledge elements
in our promotional materials had to do with a shrine
that was in some of their promotional materials.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
And.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They it was the It's Assassin's Creed shadows and the
religious shrine. And I'm looking at one of the stories,
there's like this this this famous gate in Agus and
it was sort of like kind of like the center
of the atomic bomb World War two, all this other stuff,
and the way that it is, the way that it's portrayed,
(19:10):
the imagery, et cetera, is apparently like offensive in Japanese culture.
Long story short, and it's it's been viewed by many
Japanese as being demeaning. And I think Japanese buy and
large just as one of the reasons why during Lockdown
I got really into anime and South Korean dramas because
they hate wokery. I mean I watched a they really
(19:35):
hate wokery. It's you know that isn't absolutely just disallowed.
And yeah, it was the main character, yes, okay, the
main character who they rewrote the history of some of
these historical characters to shoehorn them into a very woke
(19:55):
modern interpretation without judging or without taking into consideration how
insanely offensive that was going to be to Japanese and
Japanese culture.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
This is when Wolke goes way too far.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
So now the whole country's upset everybody, and I mean,
I get it, they're very upset about it. And they
said that, you know, this is not really so much
a freedom of expression, it's demeaning culture, et cetera. And
the Prime Minister said, how do I address this legally
is something we're going to have to discuss with the
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Education, et cetera. They
(20:32):
called it defacing a shrine, et cetera. People are now
questioning tourism. There's like all kinds of stuff happening as
the fallout from this, and all because they tried to
be stupid and woke with this game title.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Why Okay, I have a question.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Why did they got to make anybody gay in a
flippant action game?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Don't answer? I really?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Does it matter? When I play Little I?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So in Space Marines two, I'm a little I'm literally
a black dude and my whole I don't care sounds
like appropriation. No, I'm being appropriated. I'm blaying this. My
character is a black dude and he's a ass. He
goes in there and he just blows everything up. He's amazing.
(21:20):
I just that's what I was assigned by the game.
I was assigned to that by the game. So I'm
I'm I don't understand this idea that there has to
be a representation for everything, because it's about the gameplay.
If you're spending so much time getting involved in the
character like that, then you're not actually playing the game,
(21:43):
because that's just like cosmetic. It doesn't like the armor
doesn't mean anything, you know, like your outfit doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You get little chotchkes.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
You can get little adornments for your armor and things
like that, like in Space Marines two or in uh oh,
my gosh, I can't even think of it Warhammer Dark Tide.
You get like little things that you put on your
rifles or all this that you win. If you have
you know, you have a good game whatever, good session,
and it doesn't actually do anything like the characters. It's
(22:14):
just like a fun a side that makes it a
little bit more believable. But you know, you're playing a game.
The gameplay is the gameplay, right, The story is the story.
I don't understand why they have to add all of
these stupid woke elements into it, because I actually think
that distracts from the gameplay. And I just think that
if you are and like one of our contributors over
(22:37):
at chapter and verse, the same that particularly with this character,
Lady Oichi. She is apparently like this very well respected,
you know, historical character. She's like the symbol of honor
for women in Japanese society, and they portray her in
this game as being nothing but like an.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Scame that's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You can't be doing storylines, especially when they had when
they're you can't do storylines like this. You can't disrespect
actual historical truth, and you can't disrespect cannon. I have
no idea what they're doing. I haven't played, Like I said,
I haven't played this title in a long time. Anyway,
I'm definitely not going to now. But these games need
to stop. It's like with Borderlines. Borderlines got so bad.
(23:25):
The UH, the one of the last ones that I played,
they had UH one of the not a boss but
like one of the UH leaders the protagonists that was
supposed to be on your side was an actual unicorn
called butt Stallion and bark Rainbows. I'm not even making
this up like that? Would you did you ever play
that one? Kay?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
It was so woke.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
It was unbearable, unbearable, and then there was like a
training general Like I can't play that. The gameplay was great,
the open world concept was great, the design was great,
the weapons were cool, but it became absolutely unbearable. Oh,
the movie was heinous. I would not have cast the
way that they did, but it is what it is.
(24:07):
So that being said, one of the reasons why people.
This is such a big deal. Is this is the
last frontier of unregulated and by unregulated, I mean non
woke expression and activity. And that's one of the reasons
they're targeting it so bad. Everybody left games alone because
they thought, oh, this is where the nerds go. But
a lot of people play. I play, I mean casual.
(24:27):
I'm not a pro, you know. I have a pretty
sweet setup. But I do Console, not PC because I
grew up playing PC, and I'm like, I'm always going
to do Console because I'm a grown lady and I
did Doom and all of that stuff on the piece.
I would sit at my desk in high school and
PC and I played everything under the sun. So I'm
not going back to those days. I want console, but
(24:47):
it's and I like it because it's fun. It's like
a hobby. Everybody's got different hobbies. You play a game
on your phone. I don't like playing games on my phone.
It's stupid. I'll play Solitaire on my phone. That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I prefer going on console.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I just think it's fun, it's enjoyable, it's a nice hobby,
and it's one of the reasons. Another reason I like
it is because it is an escape from all of
that stupid stuff. It's like, no matter what you do anymore,
whether it's sports, whether it's entertainment, music, there is always
some injection of you can't get away from it, the
(25:20):
insufferability of wokery.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You cannot get away from it.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And this was one of the final places where you
could go and you could actually get away from it.
You didn't None of the stereotypes from modern society apply
in gaming, and I think that's what makes it so
attractive to so many people. And it's fun. I mean,
you are it's literally a merit based how would I
say it would way of socializing in a way? Wouldn't
(25:47):
you put it like that? Cane? I mean, if you suck,
then you suck, and you're gonna have a harder time.
But they're targeting it so much and Republicans are dropping
the ball. They are not paying attention to this, and
they should, although I will say Musk has been talking
quite a lot about it, and I hope that more
people in the administration talk about it because this, now
(26:08):
me looking at this in a purely Machiavellian sense, is
a totally untapped.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Market of voters.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What are you doing. Oh my gosh, it's a totally
untapped market of voters. And by and large, these are
people who just want to be left alone and they
want to live their lives and not be meddled with
by the government. That makes them natural allies. You realize this, right,
because that's what we all believe, right, So this makes
them natural allies. So I really wish Republicans wouldn't discount
(26:39):
gamers or these big blow ups that they see. Don't
ignore it because it literally is the last wild West,
and they only just realize that, oh, this is an
area of society that we haven't messed with yet, and
now they're trying to. That's what gamer Gate kicked off.
Gamer Gate was but all of that busting out into
(26:59):
the open. And so don't even if you don't play games,
maybe your kids do or maybe your grandkids do. And
these people are natural allies. Don't think that their nerds
in that because again, I literally I will never give
you I'm not giving you my gamer tag, but I play,
and I'm like, I really enjoy it, but not everybody is.
(27:21):
You know, maybe it's a nerdy thing to do, but
it's fun. Don't discount it. It's a great I mean,
this is a great way to get out there and
do like, you know, voter outreach, but not the goofy
way that Tim Walls does it. They sat down and
tried to play, and you knew that these people I
never played nothing in their lives. So I play if
because I can hear your questions. No, I don't do sports.
I don't play sports because if I wanted to do sports,
(27:42):
I'm gonna go and do sports. Right. I'm not gonna
sorry guys, Sorry, I'm not making fun of you guys
that over there. I'm not gonna, you know, like mad,
and I know a lot of you all aren't mad.
And I don't do that. I do like a horror
first person shooter.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
That's what I do. So we got a lot more
on the way.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I could spend the rest of the hour talking about this,
but I figure the hate mail will start coming. Thanks
