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 1 (00:14):
I am really mad at this dude. A Florida man
was arrested Tuesday because he shot his neighbor's cow multiple
times because he was angry that it had jumped over
his fence. It was a two year old calf that
had at least five gunshot wounds. She had been shot
in the chest, the abdomen, or the guts, the rear,
leg everything. The animal was lying on the ground struggling
(00:35):
to move in a lot of pain as the deputies approached,
and it had to be euthanized. And the cow's owner
said of his neighbor, Hung Trin t r I n
H fifty four, was angry, oh man, and he used
used to twenty two, oh like an absolute pansy. Hung
(00:56):
Trin Major Florida man. Pansy used a twenty two to
go and shoot this calf. So he's charged with animal cruelty.
I personally think you got to be dragged behind a truck.
But that's me grand theft of a commercial farm animal,
according to the Sheriff's Office and I'm glad that the sheriff,
Carmine Marceno went hard on it and was like, we're
(01:17):
not going to tolerate this because it's a farming community
number one. I mean, there's a lot of cattle ranchers
in this area and they I like the way police
handled it, but this infuriates me. That's so ignorant. That
is so ignorant to jump your fence. Oh use your
little use your little sissy boy twenty two to go
out and handle the cow. Goll lee, let's see. Oh,
(01:38):
man bites dog, dog bites man. Coyote attacks Florida man
in a shocking Junkyard incident. I'm uh, it's an I
can't get the stop and of course, of course it would,
and we're gonna have to probably have to. I don't
think we're gonna be able to get this one. Yeah,
well I can't get that either, because yay yay Safari
I know anyway, but I'm mad about the guy that
(02:01):
so the coyote he attacked at Florida man shocking Junkyard incident.
It was on Tuesday and the guy was going about
his usual routine and he saw this like disoriented, rough
looking coyote and it wandered into his lot and then
it just lunged at him. He said, he goes it
didn't just bite and run, that it held onto his arm.
And they had a call for the you know, wildlife
(02:23):
et cetera. But that I mean, it sounds rabid in
those instances. They didn't follow up on that, but I
hope I'm sure that they checked it out. I believe
that we will. I believe away.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I believe. I believe.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
They're mad because they have at that Starbucks baristas who
are picketing because of a dress code. I'm trying to
understand why they're upset. Welcome back to the program, Dana
lash with you and that's right. What's wrong with the uniform?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Like? What are they I don't understand. They said that
they're they're protesting the dress code per ap because it
requires them to wear a solid black shirt and khaki,
black or blue den on bottoms, and then they under
the previous dress code they could wear a broader range
of darker colors. They said they want their green aprons
(03:35):
to stand out, and a Starbucks Workers United said the
dress code should be subject to collective bargaining. Starbucks they
said it has lost its way. Instead of listening to
baristas you make oh my gosh, are you instead of
(03:56):
making listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what
it is? Wait? What is the Starbucks experience? Hold up?
What is the Starbucks experience? My favorite is the name's
purposely not being right, which I think is a gimmick.
Do you ever see the thing where the guy was like,
my name is Mark with a C and they put
kark on the cup? Yeah, and like what else? Like
(04:22):
when you wait for forever for your overroasted beans? Right,
is that what it is? Or I mean, I'm just curious,
like it's I don't know, I don't get it. It's
your serving coffee. You're a barista. When I was a
waitress throughout college, I had to wear like darker slacks.
I got a uniform shirt, but I had to wear
(04:42):
dark colored slacks and dark tennis shoes. I could not
wear bright colors. And I went with it because that
was the rule. Businesses have the right to go. We
want to make sure our branding stands out. And if
you don't like it, dear sweet heavens, go get another job,
because it's amazing they're so the coffee places in the
United States. Kane. There's there's so many coffee places in
(05:06):
the United States. It's not like a heritage thing.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I have to work at Starbucks because my grandmother worked
at Starbucks and her grandmother worked at Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You make coffee, It's very simple. Somebody goes. Customers don't
care what color art clothes are. I don't care about
hearing someone bitch about having to wear a certain attire.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
To make coffee.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I just I don't care. They said that they were
being criticized because they sell styles of Starbucks branded clothing
that employees can't wear, and Starbucks that it would give
two free black t shirts to each employee when it
announced the dress code. That's what I got when I
worked at Hulahans oh I did. I was slinging that
(05:51):
tady soup. I worked at Hula Hans. I had to
wear dark. I'd wear black tennis shoes and they were
not the attractive kind. They were like nursing home tennis
shoes and black trousers. And I had like a maroon
shirt and it had to be long sleeve. I couln't
even wear short sleeve. My stuff had to be long
sleeve and it had to be buttoned down shirt. That's
what I had to wear. It was really unfortunate in August,
(06:12):
so the apparently fewer than less than one percent of
Starbucks workers are even participating in the strikes. I'm just
I'm sorry. This is such a first world entitled brat problem.
Can you is it possible to I don't want to protest,
I just want to make fun of people in a
picket line style. Can you if someone's like doing that
(06:34):
for this, can you just make fun of them while
they're doing it, like it's so sad and don't get
to wear what they want to wear? It work? Man?
How do you think doctors and nurses feel and they
gotta wear scrubs to operate on brains and stuff? Wow,
you're making coffee now. If you don't like it, you
can go work at Duncan or I know what their
(06:54):
uniform requirements are, or a million of these other little
coffee places. Do you think it's like a bragging point? Wait,
here's a question. I have. This ought to be honestly,
like a Christopher Guest documentary called Barista. I just came
up with it right now in my head where it's like, uh,
best in show that made fun of dog shows and
Parker Posey was in it and it's hysterical, but it's
(07:16):
like for barista, so is it? And the reason I
am asking this is it because do they view being
a barista at Starbucks as like snooty? Like, oh, you're
you work at Duncan, I'm a barista at Starbucks? Is that? Steve?
You're a millennial? Is that a thing? Is it? Do
(07:39):
you know anybody who's a barista? Does that literally look
like that? I mean, it's a fancy word for a
coffeehouse employee who literally pulls espresso. You know what's funny
is that the only people I know that are still
working that type of job look exactly like that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean is there I would be more? I don't know,
Like I just.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm wondering what this specific complaint about the dress code
is because they haven't stated it. They said we're against
a dress code, but they haven't stated what about that
dress code is unpleasant or whatever it is. They're standing, yeah,
what we want Caine, right, That's literally all they're saying. Yeah,
(08:19):
I don't get it. They don't like long sleeves like
they don't like black shirts. They haven't said anything about
what the dress code is and what their actual objections are.
They're just objecting to the idea of a company having
a dress code. This is a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So barista is based on it originated in Italy. It's like,
you know, it's a person that makes the coffee right,
and it's an Italian term. And I'm sorry, but I've
been to Italian coffee shops in Italy and I've been
to Starbucks. Is what you're doing is not the same.
It's not It is not Don't sit here and try
(08:57):
to sell me the steale ass limon pound cake and
you're over roasted beans and be like, no, I'm a barrista.
You're pulling coffee. It's not the same. It is not
the same experience. I mean, I would like to think
that some of the actual baristas that are in Italy,
like when they're pulling espresso, if they think it smells
bad or burnt or stale, they're eh, I'm not serving this.
(09:19):
You don't even give us an avogado. Stop it. Uh
so mad I have to wear these clothes to serve coffee.
So less than one percent are protesting you cannot make
fun of the stuff enough good night, and they're and
they're mad about it, and I'm I'm I don't know.
Clearly I'm missing something. I apparently I don't know. I
(09:43):
just think that there's maybe I don't know, like that
it's there. They said that, uh yeah, they it should
have been collective bargaining. Shut up, go work somewhere else.
Then I can't man, Okay, so cidebar because this really
puts me in the frame of mind. I've been watching
this sci fi show basically about an alien invasion. I
(10:07):
don't really like watching a lot of TV, but it
has to be engaging. And if your first sixty seconds
isn't good, I'm not watching. If I take a bite
of food and it tastes bad, I will spit it
on on my plate and I will not eat it.
I'm like, you know, life's too short, you know what
I'm saying, Like, if I have bad coffee, I'll be like,
this tastes like Satan made it, and I'll slide it
back over. Anyway. So I've been watching this show. It's
(10:28):
called The Eternot and it's is it on Netflix? I
can't remember. Yeah, it's on Netflix. It's an Argentinian show
based in Argentina, so there's subtitles never do a dub ever,
dub suck. They're horrible. But the show is called The
Eternot and it's non woke at all. There's no woke.
(10:49):
But it is so good. It's very brilliantly done. And
my kids, one of my kids in particular, because I
was talking about, like, man, if this was happening, I
would already be like a warlord and I would have
all this like like shut down, and I'd have a
gate and I'd have blah blah blah blah blah blah
rolling up and my people are resources, you know, harvest
(11:09):
and you know. And my son was like, you're not
allowed out of the house. And I just this makes
me want to fast forward into that world right through
all the asteroids, smot everything else. Let's just get right
to it, right But this kind of stuff, it puts
(11:30):
me right there. I'm like, this stuff wouldn't fly. Like
if you're if if it's not enough for you to
be concerned about during armageddon, then maybe don't get upset
about it right now? Right, I feel like that's a
pretty good measure use the Armageddon Yardstick. Are you going
to be mad about this if you have, if you're
dealing with an alien invasion and a pole reversal? Because
if not, shut up. Armageddon Yardstick's a dope band name, dude, Right,
(11:57):
that is actually a pretty good band name, now that
I think about it. But the Internet is fabulous. It's
it's so good. It's such a good Oh, it's so good.
But anyway, I'm like, I could I could swing that.
I mean, I'm sure I'll fight aliens and whatever I could,
I can hang. I could hang with that. But at
least I won't have, you know, people complaining that they
have to wear a certain kind of shirt while they're
pulling coffee at the Starbucks. Would you want somebody like
(12:20):
that making your food.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I don't care about the attire of the person who's
making my food neither.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I don't care what a company is.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
A little to have at the time I'm supposed to
get it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I just why is it thirteen dollars for like a regular?
You know, I don't get coffee at Starbucks? Because you know, it.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Took me like two visits to figure out the difference
between VENTI and Grande because Grande's supposed to be large,
that's what Grande means. And then Venti is only twenty
and it's like that's not very large.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Well, you're not supposed to have that much, but Venti's
the largest. Like nobody drinks like that's all Starbucks made giant,
you know, garbage sizes like normal. It's not supposed to
be like that. Like your coffee should not be cold
by the time you get to the end of it.
That's bad. That means you've been given too much and
that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But I always like more coffee.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Then you can have several different shots of it. I
like espresso or just like an Americano, I want it
black and bitter, like my heart. Save your stupid sugar
and your milk. That just reduces the intensity.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Nay.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So anyway, I could not get over that story. I
was fascinated by that, and I absolutely had to share
that with you. Our partners that help bring you the program.
It's our friends over at Caltech, the Gen three sub
two K a fold and half gun. It's very cool
and it's a ten millimeters now which a lot of
people have been like myself included, have been waiting for
kel Tech, a great American company and the American parts
(13:46):
of American labor. More companies should be like cl Tech,
and they've raised the bar with this new third generation
sub two K folds fast optics, stay in place, deploys
just as fast, innovative, the rotating four twist it fold

(14:32):
at cl tech Weapons dot com, Innovation Performance, Celtech, k
e Ltec Weapons dot com. Tell them Dana sent.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
You, and now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
So apparently bald dudes are bringing back the two pay
well women get extensions. Man, let me tell you something.
You don't let abroad make fun of you for wearing
a two pay because these youth girls out here are
getting like five foot long extensions put up on their head.
If they're not getting extensions put up on their eyelashes.
So you know, well what you don't get no heat
for that. Take that to the bank. But they are
(15:04):
bringing it back. I would imagine too that they are
much nicer than they were like when I was a kid,
because when I was a kid, it was very obvious
that somebody had a two pay. So they said that
this is a New York post piece, and they said
that men are bringing them back. I also thought dudes
were doing like the hair plugs or whatever. Maybe maybe not,
but yeah, two pays are coming back. They're coming back again.
(15:27):
An ancient reptile footprint has upended theories about when animals
evolved to live on land. There was a little short
that Monty Python had one time where they took like
this bone of something and fabricated it into a completely
made up animal and put it in a museum. It
was at a little one of their little cartoon breaks
that they had for Monty Python, and it makes me.
(15:47):
These kind of stories make me think of this every time.
It's a three hundred and fifty million year old fossil
and they said it shows characteristic similar to that of
monitor lizards. And it's been in oh yeah, three hundred
and fifty million years ago, they suggested when it when
it emerged. But they think that animals developed the ability
to live on land faster than previously assumed. I actually
(16:10):
don't really care about any of that. I mean, I
think it's interesting, but does it matter, Oh is it
a billion years earlier or not? Does it change where
we are right now? I don't know. You know, chimpan Oh,
this is really gross. Chimpanzees actually use leaves. It's gross,
but not they clean themselves like that's there. That's nature's
tissue for them. The leaves, it's nature's tissue. They've been
(16:31):
studying them. The horrible left wing rag that is called
the Guardian said that they did this study on all
of these chimpanzees and that have they always don't matter
is that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
New leaves have been what the leaves have been around forever,
So I may like.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Then using them to actually groom themselves with a leaf.
It's kind of I don't know. It's interesting air traffic
control hotline between Pentagon and Reagan Washington National Airport, UH
that it's been broken since twenty twenty two. I think
that might be needed. They said that it's supposed to
(17:07):
be for coordinating aircraft and it hasn't worked since March
of twenty twenty two. They were not aware that the
direct line was broken until a May first incident when
a helicopter circle the Pentagon caused two flights to abort landings.
I feel like they need to give that a hotline fixed.
So wait a minute. Poot Booty Juice, when he was
Secretary of Transportation, he didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He didn't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
He didn't do anything about it. Sean Duffy gets in
there and he's like, oh my gosh, what is happening,
So he immediately remedies it. But what the hell was
po oh? That's right, poot Booty Juice had just bought
some children and was pretending that he had birthed them
in the hospital when he took months off from maternity leave.
That's right, that's right. The DoD also maintains the hotline,
but the fact that you were not able to coordinate
(17:51):
any of that air traffic, and you had that issue happen.
That's pretty crazy. I read this. When I first read this,
I thought it said a fish cemetery, and I said,
what a Fisher's cemetery. Employeely got charged because he dug
up a grave for a gold ring. Sounds like an
old Tales from the Crypt story. Seth Davidson twenty four
(18:13):
told police that he buried and earned with a gold
ring in it and couldn't stop thinking about it. And
so this isn't Indianapolis. He apparently dug it up. He
graved robbed. That's we don't do that anymore. We don't
grave rob. We haven't done that since well, hell, I
don't know at least one hundred years. We don't grave
rob anymore. But not this guy. There were reports of
a suspicious car in the area and that's what tipped
(18:34):
off police to find him. Gold Co is making it

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Awhen they're mad because they have at that's Starbucks baristas
who are picketing because of a dress code. I'm trying
to understand why they're upset. Welcome back to the program.
Dana lash with you, and that's right. What's wrong with
(20:07):
the uniform nothing, Like, what are they? I don't understand.
They said that they're they're protesting the dress code per

then they under the previous dress code they could wear

they said, has lost its way. Instead of listening to
baristas you make oh my gosh, are you instead of

making listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what
it is? Wait? What is the Starbucks experience? Hold on?
What is the Starbucks experience? My favorite is the name's
purposely not being right, which I think is a gimmick.
Do you ever see the thing where the guy was like,
my name is Mark with a C and they put
kark on the cup? Yeah, and like what else? Like
(21:18):
when you wait for forever for your overroasted beans? Right?
Is that what it is? Or I mean I'm just curious,
like it's I don't know, I don't get it. It's
you're serving coffee you're a barista. When I was a

I have to work at Starbucks because my grandmother worked

Can you if someone's like doing that for this, can
you just make fun of them while they're doing it,
like it's so sad and don't get to wear what
they want to wear? It work? Man? How do you
think doctors and nurses feel and they gotta wear scrubs
to operate on brains and stuff. Wow, you're making coffee now.
(23:47):
If you don't like it, you can go work at
Duncan or I know what their uniform requirements are, or
a million of these other little coffee places. Do you
think it's like a bragging point? Wait, here's a question.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I have.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
This ought to be honestly like a Christopher guest documentary
called Barista. I just came up with it right now
on my head where it's like, uh, best in show
that made fun of dog shows and Parker Posey was
in it and it's hysterical, But it's like for barista,
so is it? And the reason I am asking this
is it because do they view being a barista at
(24:21):
Starbucks as like snooty? Like, oh, you're you work at Duncan,
I'm a barista at Starbucks? Is that? Steve? You're a millennial?
Is that a thing? Is it? Do you know anybody
who's a barista? Does that literally look like that? I mean,
it's a fancy word for a coffeehouse employee who literally
(24:42):
pulls espresso.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You know, it's funny?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Is that the only people I know that are still
working that type of job look exactly like that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean is there I would be more. I don't know,
Like I just.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm wondering what the specific complaint about the dress code
is because they haven't stated it. They said we're against
a dress code, but they haven't stated what about that
dress code is unpleasant or whatever it is. They're standing, yeah,
what we want caine right, That's literally all they're saying. Yeah,
(25:16):
I don't get it. They don't like long sleeves, like
they don't like black shirts. They haven't said anything about
what the dress code is and what their actual objections are.
They're just objecting to the idea of a company having
a dress code. This is a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
So barista is based on it originated in Italy. It's like,
you know, it's a person that makes the coffee right,
and it's an Italian term. And I'm sorry, but I've
been to Italian coffee shops in Italy and I've been
to Starbucks. Is what you're doing is not the same.
It's not. It is not. Don't sit here and try
(25:54):
to sell me the stale ass limon pound cake and
you're over roasted beans and be like no, I'm a
BALI dah, you're pulling coffee. It's not the same. It
is not the same experience. I mean, I would like
to think that some of the actual barristas that are
in Italy, like when they're pulling espresso, if they think
it smells bad or burnt or stale, they're, eh, I'm
(26:15):
not serving this. You don't even give us an avogado.
Stop it? Uh so mad? I have to wear these
clothes to serve coffee. So less than one percent are protesting.
You cannot make fun of the stuff enough good night,
and they're and they're mad about it, and I'm I'm
I don't know. Clearly I'm missing something. I apparently I
(26:38):
don't know. I just think that there's maybe I don't know,
like that it's there. They said that, Uh yeah, they
it should have been collective bargaining. Shut up, go work
somewhere else. Then I can't man. Okay, So sidebar because
this really puts me in the frame of mind I've
(26:59):
been walked. This sci fi show basically about an alien invasion.
I don't really like watching a lot of TV, but
it has to be engaging. And if your first sixty
seconds isn't good I'm not watching, Like, if I take
a bite of food and it tastes bad, I will
spit it on on my plate and I will not
eat it. I'm like, you know, life's too short, you
know what I'm saying, Like if I have bad coffee,
I'll be like, this tastes like Satan made it, and
(27:20):
I'll slide it back over anyway. So I've been watching
this show. It's called The Eternot and it's is it
on Netflix? I can't remember. Yeah, it's on Netflix. It's
an Argentinian show based in Argentina. So there's subtitles. Never
do a dub ever, dubs suck, They're horrible. But the
show is called The Eternot and it's non woke at all.
(27:45):
There's no woke. But it is so good. It's very
brilliantly done. And my kids, one of my kids in particular,
because I was talking about like, man, if this was happening,
I would already be like a warlord and I would
have all this like shut down, and I'd have a
gate and i'd have blah blah blah blah blah blah
rolling up, and my people are resources, you know, harvest
(28:06):
and you know, and my son was like, you're not
allowed out of the house, and I just this makes
me want to fast forward into that world right through
all the asteroids, smot everything else. Let's just get right
to it, right. But this kind of stuff, it puts
(28:27):
me right there. I'm like, this stuff wouldn't fly. Like
if you're if if it's not enough for you to
be concerned about during Armageddon, then maybe don't get upset
about it right now, right, I feel like that's a
pretty good measure. Use the Armageddon yardstick. Are you going
to be mad about this if you have, if you're
dealing with an alien invasion and a pole reversal? Because
if not, shut up? Armageddon. Yardstick's a dope band name, dude, Right,
(28:54):
that is actually a pretty good band name now that
I think about it. But the internet is fabulous. It's
it's so good. It's such a good Oh, it's so good.
But anyway, I'm like, I could I could swing that.
I mean, I'm sure I'll fight aliens and whatever I could,
I can hang. I could hang with that. But at
least I won't have, you know, people complaining that they
have to wear a certain kind of shirt while they're
pulling coffee at the Starbucks. Would you want somebody like
(29:17):
that making your food?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I don't care about the attire of the person who's
making my food neither.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't care what a company is a little.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Just what I have at the time I'm supposed to
get it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I just why is it thirteen dollars for like a regular?
You know, I don't get coffee at Starbucks because you know, it.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Took me like two visits to figure out the difference
between Venti and Grande, because Grande's supposed to be large,
that's what Grande means, and then Venti's only twenty and
it's like that's not very large.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well, you're not supposed to have that much, but Venti's
the largest. Like nobody drinks like that's all Starbucks made giant,
you know, garbage sizes like normal. It's not supposed to
be like that. Like your coffee should not be cold
by the time you get to the end of it.
That's bad. That means you've been given too much and
that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But I always like more coffee.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Then you can have several different shots of it. I
like espresso or just like an Americano, I want it
black and bitter like my heart. Save your stupid sugar
and your milk. That just reduces the intensity.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Nay.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
So anyway, I could not get over that story. I
was fascinated by that, and I absolutely had to share
that with you. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I am really mad at this dude. A Florida man
was arrested Tuesday because he shot his neighbor's cow multiple
times because he was angry that it had jumped over
his fence. It was a two year old calf that
had at least five gunshot wounds. She had been shot
in the chest, the abdomen, or the guts, the rear,
leg everything. The animal was lying on the ground struggling
(00:35):
to move in a lot of pain as the deputies approached,
and it had to be euthanized. And the cow's owner
said of his neighbor, Hung Trin t r I n
H fifty four, was angry, oh man, and he used
used to twenty two, oh like an absolute pansy. Hung
(00:56):
Trin Major Florida man. Pansy used a twenty two to
go and shoot this calf. So he's charged with animal cruelty.
I personally think you got to be dragged behind a truck.
But that's me grand theft of a commercial farm animal,
according to the Sheriff's Office and I'm glad that the sheriff,
Carmine Marceno went hard on it and was like, we're
(01:17):
not going to tolerate this because it's a farming community
number one. I mean, there's a lot of cattle ranchers
in this area and they I like the way police
handled it, but this infuriates me. That's so ignorant. That
is so ignorant to jump your fence. Oh use your
little use your little sissy boy twenty two to go
out and handle the cow. Goll lee, let's see. Oh,
(01:38):
man bites dog, dog bites man. Coyote attacks Florida man
in a shocking Junkyard incident. I'm uh, it's an I
can't get the stop and of course, of course it would,
and we're gonna have to probably have to. I don't
think we're gonna be able to get this one. Yeah,
well I can't get that either, because yay yay Safari
I know anyway, but I'm mad about the guy that
(02:01):
so the coyote he attacked at Florida man shocking Junkyard incident.
It was on Tuesday and the guy was going about
his usual routine and he saw this like disoriented, rough
looking coyote and it wandered into his lot and then
it just lunged at him. He said, he goes it
didn't just bite and run, that it held onto his arm.
And they had a call for the you know, wildlife
(02:23):
et cetera. But that I mean, it sounds rabid in
those instances. They didn't follow up on that, but I
hope I'm sure that they checked it out. I believe
that we will. I believe away.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I believe. I believe.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
They're mad because they have at that Starbucks baristas who
are picketing because of a dress code. I'm trying to
understand why they're upset. Welcome back to the program, Dana
lash with you and that's right. What's wrong with the uniform?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Like? What are they I don't understand. They said that
they're they're protesting the dress code per ap because it
requires them to wear a solid black shirt and khaki,
black or blue den on bottoms, and then they under
the previous dress code they could wear a broader range
of darker colors. They said they want their green aprons
(03:35):
to stand out, and a Starbucks Workers United said the
dress code should be subject to collective bargaining. Starbucks they
said it has lost its way. Instead of listening to
baristas you make oh my gosh, are you instead of
(03:56):
making listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what
it is? Wait? What is the Starbucks experience? Hold up?
What is the Starbucks experience? My favorite is the name's
purposely not being right, which I think is a gimmick.
Do you ever see the thing where the guy was like,
my name is Mark with a C and they put
kark on the cup? Yeah, and like what else? Like
(04:22):
when you wait for forever for your overroasted beans? Right,
is that what it is? Or I mean, I'm just curious,
like it's I don't know, I don't get it. It's
your serving coffee. You're a barista. When I was a
waitress throughout college, I had to wear like darker slacks.
I got a uniform shirt, but I had to wear
(04:42):
dark colored slacks and dark tennis shoes. I could not
wear bright colors. And I went with it because that
was the rule. Businesses have the right to go. We
want to make sure our branding stands out. And if
you don't like it, dear sweet heavens, go get another job,
because it's amazing they're so the coffee places in the
United States. Kane. There's there's so many coffee places in
(05:06):
the United States. It's not like a heritage thing.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I have to work at Starbucks because my grandmother worked
at Starbucks and her grandmother worked at Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You make coffee, It's very simple. Somebody goes. Customers don't
care what color art clothes are. I don't care about
hearing someone bitch about having to wear a certain attire.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
To make coffee.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I just I don't care. They said that they were
being criticized because they sell styles of Starbucks branded clothing
that employees can't wear, and Starbucks that it would give
two free black t shirts to each employee when it
announced the dress code. That's what I got when I
worked at Hulahans oh I did. I was slinging that
(05:51):
tady soup. I worked at Hula Hans. I had to
wear dark. I'd wear black tennis shoes and they were
not the attractive kind. They were like nursing home tennis
shoes and black trousers. And I had like a maroon
shirt and it had to be long sleeve. I couln't
even wear short sleeve. My stuff had to be long
sleeve and it had to be buttoned down shirt. That's
what I had to wear. It was really unfortunate in August,
(06:12):
so the apparently fewer than less than one percent of
Starbucks workers are even participating in the strikes. I'm just
I'm sorry. This is such a first world entitled brat problem.
Can you is it possible to I don't want to protest,
I just want to make fun of people in a
picket line style. Can you if someone's like doing that
(06:34):
for this, can you just make fun of them while
they're doing it, like it's so sad and don't get
to wear what they want to wear? It work? Man?
How do you think doctors and nurses feel and they
gotta wear scrubs to operate on brains and stuff? Wow,
you're making coffee now. If you don't like it, you
can go work at Duncan or I know what their
(06:54):
uniform requirements are, or a million of these other little
coffee places. Do you think it's like a bragging point? Wait,
here's a question. I have. This ought to be honestly,
like a Christopher Guest documentary called Barista. I just came
up with it right now in my head where it's like, uh,
best in show that made fun of dog shows and
Parker Posey was in it and it's hysterical, but it's
(07:16):
like for barista, so is it? And the reason I
am asking this is it because do they view being
a barista at Starbucks as like snooty? Like, oh, you're
you work at Duncan, I'm a barista at Starbucks? Is that? Steve?
You're a millennial? Is that a thing? Is it? Do

So anyway, I could not get over that story. I

that with you. Our partners that help bring you the program.
It's our friends over at Caltech, the Gen three sub
two K a fold and half gun. It's very cool
and it's a ten millimeters now which a lot of
people have been like myself included, have been waiting for
kel Tech, a great American company and the American parts
(13:46):
of American labor. More companies should be like cl Tech,
and they've raised the bar with this new third generation
sub two K folds fast optics, stay in place, deploys
just as fast, innovative, the rotating four twist it fold
it down sixteen and a half inches for super easy
storage and transport. It also takes clockmags. You got a
fifteen round standard, fifteen round block twenty mag. Got a
(14:10):
lot of capacity for whatever you need. They even have
a drama available fifty round drama, you know for fewer reloads,
more more patriotism and internal buffer for software recoil light

Speaker 2 (14:37):
You, and now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
So apparently bald dudes are bringing back the two pay
well women get extensions. Man, let me tell you something.
You don't let abroad make fun of you for wearing
a two pay because these youth girls out here are
getting like five foot long extensions put up on their head.
If they're not getting extensions put up on their eyelashes.
So you know, well what you don't get no heat
for that. Take that to the bank. But they are
(15:04):
bringing it back. I would imagine too that they are
much nicer than they were like when I was a kid,
because when I was a kid, it was very obvious
that somebody had a two pay. So they said that
this is a New York post piece, and they said
that men are bringing them back. I also thought dudes
were doing like the hair plugs or whatever. Maybe maybe not,
but yeah, two pays are coming back. They're coming back again.
(15:27):
An ancient reptile footprint has upended theories about when animals
evolved to live on land. There was a little short
that Monty Python had one time where they took like
this bone of something and fabricated it into a completely
made up animal and put it in a museum. It
was at a little one of their little cartoon breaks
that they had for Monty Python, and it makes me.
(15:47):
These kind of stories make me think of this every time.
It's a three hundred and fifty million year old fossil
and they said it shows characteristic similar to that of
monitor lizards. And it's been in oh yeah, three hundred
and fifty million years ago, they suggested when it when
it emerged. But they think that animals developed the ability
to live on land faster than previously assumed. I actually
(16:10):
don't really care about any of that. I mean, I
think it's interesting, but does it matter, Oh is it
a billion years earlier or not? Does it change where
we are right now? I don't know. You know, chimpan Oh,
this is really gross. Chimpanzees actually use leaves. It's gross,
but not they clean themselves like that's there. That's nature's
tissue for them. The leaves, it's nature's tissue. They've been
(16:31):
studying them. The horrible left wing rag that is called
the Guardian said that they did this study on all
of these chimpanzees and that have they always don't matter
is that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
New leaves have been what the leaves have been around forever,
So I may like.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Then using them to actually groom themselves with a leaf.
It's kind of I don't know. It's interesting air traffic
control hotline between Pentagon and Reagan Washington National Airport, UH
that it's been broken since twenty twenty two. I think
that might be needed. They said that it's supposed to
(17:07):
be for coordinating aircraft and it hasn't worked since March
of twenty twenty two. They were not aware that the
direct line was broken until a May first incident when
a helicopter circle the Pentagon caused two flights to abort landings.
I feel like they need to give that a hotline fixed.
So wait a minute. Poot Booty Juice, when he was
Secretary of Transportation, he didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He didn't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
He didn't do anything about it. Sean Duffy gets in
there and he's like, oh my gosh, what is happening,
So he immediately remedies it. But what the hell was
po oh? That's right, poot Booty Juice had just bought
some children and was pretending that he had birthed them
in the hospital when he took months off from maternity leave.
That's right, that's right. The DoD also maintains the hotline,
but the fact that you were not able to coordinate
(17:51):
any of that air traffic, and you had that issue happen.
That's pretty crazy. I read this. When I first read this,
I thought it said a fish cemetery, and I said,
what a Fisher's cemetery. Employeely got charged because he dug
up a grave for a gold ring. Sounds like an
old Tales from the Crypt story. Seth Davidson twenty four
(18:13):
told police that he buried and earned with a gold
ring in it and couldn't stop thinking about it. And
so this isn't Indianapolis. He apparently dug it up. He
graved robbed. That's we don't do that anymore. We don't
grave rob. We haven't done that since well, hell, I
don't know at least one hundred years. We don't grave
rob anymore. But not this guy. There were reports of
a suspicious car in the area and that's what tipped
(18:34):
off police to find him. Gold Co is making it

Speaker 3 (19:44):
I believe I believe that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Awhen they're mad because they have at that's Starbucks baristas
who are picketing because of a dress code. I'm trying
to understand why they're upset. Welcome back to the program.
Dana lash with you, and that's right. What's wrong with
(20:07):
the uniform nothing, Like, what are they? I don't understand.
They said that they're they're protesting the dress code per
ap because it requires them to wear a solid black
shirt and khaki, black or blue den on bottoms. And
then they under the previous dress code they could wear
(20:28):
a broader range of darker colors. They said they want
their green aprons to stand out, and a Starbucks Workers
United said the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining. Starbucks,
they said, has lost its way. Instead of listening to
baristas you make oh my gosh, are you instead of
(20:53):
making listening to baristas who make the Starbucks experience what
it is? Wait? What is the Starbucks experience? Hold on?
What is the Starbucks experience? My favorite is the name's
purposely not being right, which I think is a gimmick.
Do you ever see the thing where the guy was like,
my name is Mark with a C and they put
kark on the cup? Yeah, and like what else? Like
(21:18):
when you wait for forever for your overroasted beans? Right?
Is that what it is? Or I mean I'm just curious,
like it's I don't know, I don't get it. It's
you're serving coffee you're a barista. When I was a
waitress throughout college, I had to wear like darker slacks.
I got a uniform shirt, but I had to wear
(21:39):
dark colored slacks and dark tennis shoes. I could not
wear bright colors, and I went with it because that
was the rule. Businesses have the right to go. We
want to make sure our branding stands out. And if
you don't like it, dear sweet Heavens, go get another job,
because it's amazing. There's so many coffee places in the
United States. Kane's. There's so many coffee places in the
(22:03):
United States. It's not like a heritage thing.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I have to work at Starbucks because my grandmother worked
at Starbucks and her grandmother worked at Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
You make coffee. It's very simple. Somebody goes. Customers don't
care what color our clothes are. I don't care about
hearing someone bitch about having to wear a certain attire
to make coffee. I just I don't care. They said
that they were being criticized because they sell styles of
(22:36):
Starbucks branded clothing that employees can't wear, and Starbucks that
it would give two free black T shirts to each
employee when it announced the dress code. That's what I
got when I worked at Hulahans. Oh I did. I
was slinging that tady soup. I worked at Hula Hans.
I had to wear dark I'd to wear black tennis
shoes and they were not the attractive kind. They were
like nursing home tennis shoes and black trousers. And I
(22:58):
had like a maroon shirt and they had to be
long sleeve. I couln't even wear short sleeve. My stuff
had to be long sleeve and it had to be
buttoned down shirt. That's what I had to wear. It
was really unfortunate. In August so the apparently fewer than
less than one percent of Starbucks workers were even participating
in the strikes. I'm just I'm sorry. This is such
a first world entitled brat problem. Can you is it
(23:24):
possible to I don't want to protest, I just want
to make fun of people in a picket line style.
Can you if someone's like doing that for this, can
you just make fun of them while they're doing it,
like it's so sad and don't get to wear what
they want to wear? It work? Man? How do you
think doctors and nurses feel and they gotta wear scrubs
to operate on brains and stuff. Wow, you're making coffee now.
(23:47):
If you don't like it, you can go work at
Duncan or I know what their uniform requirements are, or
a million of these other little coffee places. Do you
think it's like a bragging point? Wait, here's a question.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I have.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
This ought to be honestly like a Christopher guest documentary
called Barista. I just came up with it right now
on my head where it's like, uh, best in show
that made fun of dog shows and Parker Posey was
in it and it's hysterical, But it's like for barista,
so is it? And the reason I am asking this
is it because do they view being a barista at
(24:21):
Starbucks as like snooty? Like, oh, you're you work at Duncan,
I'm a barista at Starbucks? Is that? Steve? You're a millennial?
Is that a thing? Is it? Do you know anybody
who's a barista? Does that literally look like that? I mean,
it's a fancy word for a coffeehouse employee who literally
(24:42):
pulls espresso.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You know, it's funny?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Is that the only people I know that are still
working that type of job look exactly like that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean is there I would be more. I don't know,
Like I just.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm wondering what the specific complaint about the dress code
is because they haven't stated it. They said we're against
a dress code, but they haven't stated what about that
dress code is unpleasant or whatever it is. They're standing, yeah,
what we want caine right, That's literally all they're saying. Yeah,
(25:16):
I don't get it. They don't like long sleeves, like
they don't like black shirts. They haven't said anything about
what the dress code is and what their actual objections are.
They're just objecting to the idea of a company having
a dress code. This is a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
So barista is based on it originated in Italy. It's like,
you know, it's a person that makes the coffee right,
and it's an Italian term. And I'm sorry, but I've
been to Italian coffee shops in Italy and I've been
to Starbucks. Is what you're doing is not the same.
It's not. It is not. Don't sit here and try
(25:54):
to sell me the stale ass limon pound cake and
you're over roasted beans and be like no, I'm a
BALI dah, you're pulling coffee. It's not the same. It
is not the same experience. I mean, I would like
to think that some of the actual barristas that are
in Italy, like when they're pulling espresso, if they think
it smells bad or burnt or stale, they're, eh, I'm
(26:15):
not serving this. You don't even give us an avogado.
Stop it? Uh so mad? I have to wear these
clothes to serve coffee. So less than one percent are protesting.
You cannot make fun of the stuff enough good night,
and they're and they're mad about it, and I'm I'm
I don't know. Clearly I'm missing something. I apparently I
(26:38):
don't know. I just think that there's maybe I don't know,
like that it's there. They said that, Uh yeah, they
it should have been collective bargaining. Shut up, go work
somewhere else. Then I can't man. Okay, So sidebar because
this really puts me in the frame of mind I've
(26:59):
been walked. This sci fi show basically about an alien invasion.
I don't really like watching a lot of TV, but
it has to be engaging. And if your first sixty
seconds isn't good I'm not watching, Like, if I take
a bite of food and it tastes bad, I will
spit it on on my plate and I will not
eat it. I'm like, you know, life's too short, you
know what I'm saying, Like if I have bad coffee,
I'll be like, this tastes like Satan made it, and
(27:20):
I'll slide it back over anyway. So I've been watching
this show. It's called The Eternot and it's is it
on Netflix? I can't remember. Yeah, it's on Netflix. It's
an Argentinian show based in Argentina. So there's subtitles. Never
do a dub ever, dubs suck, They're horrible. But the
show is called The Eternot and it's non woke at all.
(27:45):
There's no woke. But it is so good. It's very
brilliantly done. And my kids, one of my kids in particular,
because I was talking about like, man, if this was happening,
I would already be like a warlord and I would
have all this like shut down, and I'd have a
gate and i'd have blah blah blah blah blah blah
rolling up, and my people are resources, you know, harvest
(28:06):
and you know, and my son was like, you're not
allowed out of the house, and I just this makes
me want to fast forward into that world right through
all the asteroids, smot everything else. Let's just get right
to it, right. But this kind of stuff, it puts
(28:27):
me right there. I'm like, this stuff wouldn't fly. Like
if you're if if it's not enough for you to
be concerned about during Armageddon, then maybe don't get upset
about it right now, right, I feel like that's a
pretty good measure. Use the Armageddon yardstick. Are you going
to be mad about this if you have, if you're
dealing with an alien invasion and a pole reversal? Because
if not, shut up? Armageddon. Yardstick's a dope band name, dude, Right,
(28:54):
that is actually a pretty good band name now that
I think about it. But the internet is fabulous. It's
it's so good. It's such a good Oh, it's so good.
But anyway, I'm like, I could I could swing that.
I mean, I'm sure I'll fight aliens and whatever I could,
I can hang. I could hang with that. But at
least I won't have, you know, people complaining that they
have to wear a certain kind of shirt while they're
pulling coffee at the Starbucks. Would you want somebody like
(29:17):
that making your food?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I don't care about the attire of the person who's
making my food neither.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't care what a company is a little.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Just what I have at the time I'm supposed to
get it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I just why is it thirteen dollars for like a regular?
You know, I don't get coffee at Starbucks because you know, it.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Took me like two visits to figure out the difference
between Venti and Grande, because Grande's supposed to be large,
that's what Grande means, and then Venti's only twenty and
it's like that's not very large.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Well, you're not supposed to have that much, but Venti's
the largest. Like nobody drinks like that's all Starbucks made giant,
you know, garbage sizes like normal. It's not supposed to
be like that. Like your coffee should not be cold
by the time you get to the end of it.
That's bad. That means you've been given too much and
that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
But I always like more coffee.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Then you can have several different shots of it. I
like espresso or just like an Americano, I want it
black and bitter like my heart. Save your stupid sugar
and your milk. That just reduces the intensity.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Nay.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
So anyway, I could not get over that story. I
was fascinated by that, and I absolutely had to share
that with you. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition
