Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for Florida. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, I mean, it's not a bad place to fall asleep.
If you're gonna fall asleep drunk in your car somewhere,
why not of Popeyes? I mean that's what this one
dude thought. It was imported Saint Lucie. A man's late
night food run ended up with jail time instead of
some Popeyes chicken. Man, they do have some good chicken.
Officers say that his name is Love florial.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Passed out behind the wheel and the Popeyes drive through
while the restaurant was closed. Now the car was still
running and in drive open liquor containers and drugs all
in plane view. Apparently mister Floriale, not to be confused
with Loreal, Mister Love Floriale, was coming from a night out.
He's running club wristband. He was arrested and taken to
(00:57):
Saint Lucy Jail, where he's charged with a DUI in possession.
So I mean, maybe he just wait for them to open.
You know, I'm just gonna pull up and had little
net wait for them to open, you know, get me
chicken in a biscuit. I don't know, maybe just saying.
Apparently Rockstar changed one of their GTA six characters after
a floor to man, what did money? Gosh, this is
like so perfect Grand Theft Auto fans are convinced that
(01:21):
one of the characters in GTA six was changed after
Rockstar Games got called out for money over likeness. I
don't even know, because I don't play this game at all.
It's never I've never allowed my kids to play it.
I'm like, now, we're not If you're gonna shoot baddies
in the face, that's one thing, But you're not gonna
get to play as a gang banger with a prostitute.
Not gonna happen. But they had, like fans have been
really like obsessing over trailers in screenshots and they think
(01:42):
that there's one character that's based on this TikToker and
the guy said that he used his light, that Rockstar
used his likeness and once wanted to get paid, and
so they looks like they took him out of it.
So welcome back to the program, Dana Lash if you
were at the bottom of this very weird second hour.
(02:04):
So as you know, Cain and I both come from
the illustrious city known can as Saint Lewis, not Saint Louis.
That's just in a song Saint Louis, Saint Let's gets
a lot of tornadoes, or as may a grandmother would say,
tornader's sounds really similar to tomatoes now that I'm thinking
(02:29):
about it, but anyway, uh, also delicious. But they had
a lot of storms and a lot of people are
cleaning up, and I mean some towns have been really
just ransacked. I think, what there's a town in Iron County, Missouri,
does Ark, Missouri, which was obliterated by not this last tornado,
but the one before that, and I think they got
some fall up from this last one too. So a
(02:49):
lot of storm damage, a lot of recovery, a lot
of destruction. Well, then there was this story that came
out because there was there were a lot of questions
as to you know, preparedness and response right very important.
You know, there's a reason why you got tornado sirens
and alerts and things like that. Like for instance, the
(03:12):
town that I live in, they they send you out
text messages with inclement weather, a lot of them. Sometimes
you don't need to send out that many. But I digress. Well,
something bad happened in Saint Louis and it had to
do with this very dei ish commissioner. Five people were
(03:33):
killed in these tornadoes that happened last week, and the
DEI commissioner of this city emergency Management Agency and her staff,
they were at a workshop and they just totally forgot
to activate the tornado sirens. Oh sorry, the commissioner uses.
They then pronouns, Yeah, they just got thrown out on
(03:54):
their They them's because they didn't press the button alerting
everyone that there was a tornado, which you have to
be near a button depressed to tell everybody, hey, there's
a tornado. We don't have the technology to do it
like remotely a anyway, so I wanted to This is
that's what happened. After the devastating storm. The emergency management director, uh,
(04:18):
they them, Sarah Avam Russell. They them failed to activate
the tornado sirens and residents had no idea whiskey tango
foxtrot was happening. Now they placed a them, they them, Sarah,
they them on paid administrative leave. I know that sounds
(04:39):
like vacation. More time for her to go to Texas
outback or out back steakhouse or Texas Roadhouse or whatever.
Here's the audio. She uh, they them Seema, they them
the audio somebody twenty seven. Here's some audio on this listen.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
The SEMA office is very small and so have the
majority of the time we work closer to business hours
unless the need arises, such as what we're doing now
or special events. A lot of that work takes us
out into the community, so we aren't necessarily in our
office space at all times. We do have a very
small staff. I have received reports of people that did
hear it. I've heard from a lot of people that
(05:18):
said they haven't heard it.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Hm, hm, excuse me, it's ma'am.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
So it is, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The SEEMA director was placed on paid administrative leave, and
in a statement, the mayor, Karas Spencer said that SEEMA
quote failed to alert the public to dangers. Let me see,
(05:45):
your agency is called Checksnotes City Emergency Management Agency, so
you manage emergencies as an agency for this city. It's
pretty self explanatory.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You have one job, oh no jobs, one cain ouo
jobs on jobs.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's all you have. And she couldn't do that. She
couldn't hit the button because they were out of workshop.
I mean, in Saint Louis, it's a little bit different
from Texas. Texas. You'll be outside, it's a Sunday day
and all of a sudden, the fates conspire to kill you.
Out of nowhere. Big clouds roll in before you can
(06:37):
run screaming to your car, and rain drops as big
as animals just pelt you to death. And in Saint
Louis you can see it coming from a mile away.
It is a build up. It doesn't really come out
of nowhere. Born and raised there doesn't really come out
of nowhere. I mean, you see it coming and you have,
you know, have time to at least think, at least
(06:59):
maybe we should maybe we should activate that good ole
emergency management system is a part of the checks Notes
City Emergency Management Agency. And they them, Sarah, they them
didn't do that, so people were not alerted to the
public danger. Now that's your one job that you have.
(07:24):
So they are placed on leave and they said that
it comes there. Launching an internal investigation into the actions
of Sarah gave them Sarah her on the day of
the tornado. Because the sirens they did not sound as
a tornado busted up major parts of Saint Louis. There
(07:45):
was no siren none. You have one job she was
at now a workshop. So Russell contacted the fire department
to activate the sirens later, but apparently the unclear communication
nobody really you have to do all of that. There's
not like you know, I mean, hell, you have a
(08:06):
life alert button. You can fall down somewhere and laugh
alert and people will come get you. You don't have
nothing like that for a tornado. In places like Saint
Louis in the spring, you basically have to wear one
to just oh if there's a tornado. I mean, it's
like that. There's so many. When I sidebar. When I
was a little kid, I was in a tornado. I've
been in I've been near a tornado once and in
(08:26):
a tornado once and it was hit our daycare and
I watched. So we had giant concrete tubes that you,
as a kid, I could stand up and an adult
would have to crouch down. But the tornado rolled those things.
I've never seen anything like. It didn't bother the chain
link fence for the playground, but it rolled the concrete
tubes that we would literally roll and play. I've never
(08:47):
seen anything like that happen in my life. Crazy. And
then another time when I had just had my second son,
there was a tornado that came through and we lived
in rural near outside of Festus, and I saw nado
from my backyard. I saw the final cloud from my backyard,
and we all had to go get in the basement
and I had to break open my collectible Mason window
figuring to keep my oldest son from crying. His head
(09:09):
office never got over that loss, but remind him of
it frequently. But it worked. The Uh, why was there
any kind of ambiguity? That's one of the things that
they cited. There was ambiguity in the directive to act Caine.
Let's play a game, right, Okay, you're a fire department.
I'm the they them, city whatever management management, emergency person.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
That authorizes these warnings.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, thank go ahead, bring bring bring fire department. I
think there's a tornado. Can you press the button?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Will do? Thanks?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Scene and scene. That's how it works. You know this person,
I do. Actually you got a photo with them they here.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Years of doing radio, did twenty eight years of radio
in Saint Louis. You do these are urgency preparedness segments
on occasion, and we brought her in every year for
the Saint Louis Emergency Management preparedness messaging that they're, you know,
to do.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Do you find her competent?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I didn't find her incompetent. I don't you know.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Let's make you have a picture with a small boy.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah she's short. I mean I'm tall, but she's short.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
It's like like small boy short.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Let's see what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I'm just saying, but yeah, I didn't particularly find anything
incompetent about her at that point. I mean, these are
some major mistakes.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
This is kind of a job that five people dead.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
No for sure, and this is something that she's gonna
definitely have to answer for. Like I don't know how
you get on paid administrative leave after this.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
But especially when you're a dee I hire, like they
like they put kin Is with this small child once,
throwing the photo up.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Look at that. Yeah, oh yes, there's.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Five people dead and you can't do it. But they
send out all of this other pride stuff all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
That's twenty fifteen right now.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So they send out all this pride stuff all the time.
So I send you that you guys have it says
prepare with Pride and they're talking about I guess when
you go out for Fourth of July or something like that,
and it says prepare with Pride hydrate during the festival.
We're like, wait, like what does that have to do
with Why does it have to be like a Pride
thing with the trans stuff on there? Why does that
have to I don't know, Like it just seems like
(11:23):
there's a lot more emphasis placed on like this is
how we have sex and we have to make sure
it's incorporated even and how we hydrate, hydrate with how
we have sex, make sure you stay hydrated.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Like a lot of that was just an effort to
make you know the agency itself seem ima.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I mean, why is it? Why do you have to
have this DEI stuff like does the tornado button get
pressed less if it's a straight person as opposed to
someone who's they then apparently not? I just like, what
is it? Does it? If I don't care what your
intersectionality bs? Whatever is right? It means you compress that
button faster. If somehow being a they then gives you
(12:05):
gives you like a speed buff, then fine. Whatever saysn't
damn dark tide. This is not like, oh, let's see,
I got a blessing now on my weapon. I get
to have this you know, endurance buff and I have
you know, stammin a buff and ooh, I got a
boost an arm. That's not how this works. They act
like they're add ons that like improve somehow function and
(12:26):
instead it doesn't. It doesn't at all. It ignores. So
many times we have seen well qualified people get ignored
because they didn't check an intersectionality box. Well, yes, sir,
we see that you're a You literally lasso tornadoes single
handedly and submit them. Uh you, but again, you're applying
(12:50):
for this emergency management position. But how do you have sex? Though?
I'm sorry, you don't have sex the right way? So
you're just qualified. We're gonna go with this young they
them over here instead, who can't press the damn button
to warn people that there's a tornado barreling down the
highway towards them, to kill them all.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And mind you, it's not just about president button. Like,
let's say she's out and about like she was, you
can call the fire department and they'll activate the sirens.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I feel like they're trying to blame the fire department.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It could.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I mean, it's not like, Wow, the weather's sunny today,
We're gonna go out to a workshop. That's not how
Saint Louis weather has ever worked on God's green Earth
ever in a history of human kind, in the history
of dino kind, It's never worked that way ever. You know,
it's bad weather. It's gonna be a bad day when
you wake up, you know it, because the weather's gonna
(13:42):
just blow. It's gonna be horrible. Let's go to a workshop.
I'm gonna get it. I mean, I also, can we
talk about why do you have to be physically near
a button?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, Saint Louis didn't put a statement out. They said
moving forward that they'll.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Explicitly, now that these people are dead, the.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
City policy now will explicitly be the apartment of the
fire department issue the warnings.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
By people had to die so they could remember who
could issue what warnings. Bang up, job, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Man, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, yeah, man, not as rough as finding five dead
bodies in the rubble of a tornado. That they were
right about.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
That's what I'm talking about that.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this. This
is insane. This is insane. Somebody in the checkos now
the new prom nouns now has been that's right. They
got thrown out on their day thems now it's it
has been good heavens. So they suspended this, and I mean,
the devastation is just it's just crazy. I don't know.
(14:42):
They were like, oh, there's a breakdown in communication. How
the hell is there a breakdown in communication on this? Wow?
What's that big funnel in the sky. It's a ternator?
Sound the alarm? How do you get that wrong? It's
not like there's a lot of steps. It's not like
the Hadron collider. You're not run anything crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
This particular agency didn't have a lot to do at all,
and the thing was that the bar was so low
for what you had to do that nothing was required
of you until it was and then you failed.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, you have one job, one job, one job. That's it.
That's it. I'm so done with this stuff. I mean,
clearly this broad they then they is, I don't care
about your stupid pronouns. Just do your job. Do your
damn job, unless again, any of your cosplaying gives you
a buff of speed or uh, you know anything, else, No,
(15:39):
nobody cares. Nobody cares. Stop it. And an aside to this,
how weird is it that we actually think about that
when you're hiding, when you're hiring for diversity. Well wait
a minute, how do you have sex and the manner
in which you get it on? How does that help
you do your job of pushing buttons during the agency
(16:00):
weather systems? I'm not kidding you. That's literally it. You're
like Dana. That sounds absurd, yes, because it is absurd.
The whole damn thing is absurd. You are so correct.
Just do the job, Just do it. I just can't.
(16:21):
I can't. I just I'm done. All right, we have
more on the way, so we roll the words Florida.
Maybe Florida man will sit. You know what, Florida man
would oppress the button, probably with a gator, but he
would have pressed the button. Maybe he would have had
him left a meth fingerprint behind, he'd a press the button.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So apparently a daughter was charged with a with assault
in a fork attack. It's a fork attack. Everybody she
attacked her mother, and it was in Canyan County three
felony accounts related to domestic violence. Where's the woodenspoon? Because
they feel like would spoon beats fork all day long?

you didn't get the wooden spoon enough. An activist set
eighty feet up in a tree near Port Angelus for
(18:30):
two weeks for what we don't know, Well, I mean
we do, but no, it's something to do with the trees.
It's the Olympic Forest Defender Network of conservationists. And this
dude lived two thirds up a fur tree. What an address? Yes?
Can you send that to? Two thirds up the fur
tree in Port Angeles protesting the sale of a swath
(18:52):
of forest by the Washington Department of Natural resources. They
call it apparently a legacy forest. Blah blah blah. They're
protecting the tree. They said it doesn't make financial says.
I don't know, but I'm just I wouldn't camp in
a tree. No, I tossed and hern.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Did he bring two weeks of food and diapers?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
What did he do?
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Well?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I mean, I guess you could just hang over the
side and you know, oh, come on, pray and spray.
I don't know, like I I'm just assuming.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I even asked, Well, you did ask a question, Kane,
and I did, in all of my knowledge, answer your
question to the best of my ability. I'm sorry that
it made you uncomfortable over there.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Thankful and sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
A bearded dragon saved its owner from a house fire.
I've heard of some things before I kind of want
to call shenanigans. So a bearded dragon, apparently his name
is Spike. He woke up his owner, Donald from a
nap because he jumped on his face, insisting that he
wake up. Now, I would just think that this is
shenanigans from a lizard. Donald opened his eyes and saw
(19:49):
his bathroom was on fire, extinguished the flames before they
spread to the rest of the home. He apparently slept
through the smoke of arms, but not through his bearded
dragon jumping on his face. Do you think that that's
what the lizard was doing or was the lizard like,
I hate you and I'm going to try to suffocate
you to the best of my ability.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I'd like to believe it's true.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I mean, now he's got salmonilla all over his face.
That's my first thought. I'd be like, EWA, a man
was attacked by a swarm of bees and it killed him.
This is horrible. He was in Eastland, Texas, mo on
the lawn and apparently he made a hive quite angry.
(20:29):
This is so sad. He was again mowing the lawn.
Officer did finally pull up to the scene. They said
that around they had reports of a collision and it
caused all kinds of stuff. The guy was being sworn
by bees because it all had to do with this
guy mowing the lawn going over hive. His face swelled up.
He could hardly see. It was just anaphylactic that killed him.
(20:50):
So sad, so sad. We have a mourn story. Folks
over at Celtech they have this. I mean, they have
different versions of the fold in half carbine. But now
you have it chambered and all kinds of stuff, including
brand new ten millimeter and everything made right here in
the US of A, all American parts, all American labor,
and all American ingenuity. Single twist and fold motion of
(21:12):
the rotating for unfolds this quickly and half optics and
all you don't have to detach anything, and just as
quickly it deploys, zeroed and ready to rock. It folds
down to sixteen and a half inches for easy storage
and transport. Takes clockmags. You got a reliable BLOWBIKEE design
ensuring ease and maintenance and consistent performance. A five pound
trigger pool for greater accuracy, internal buffer for software, recoil
(21:34):
rails up top for accessories inlock integrated. It's ideal for
home defense, backpacking, and camping, as well as law enforcement,
school church. I mean, whatever it is you needed for,
it's ready and they have a great, like I said,
great innovative designs and they stand behind everything that they make.

k E Ltec Weapons dot Com. Tell them Dana sent
you can we go back to this one thing that
we had in headlines real quick. This is audio Sunday
twenty one showed you some of this. I need to
have a conversation about the standing airplane seats. Are they
trying to get people to go all falling down with
Michael Douglas in the sky.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
This will do it?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
So budget airlines are considering launching these controversial I'm looking
at the name of Skyrider two point zero standing seats. Yeah,
and I don't know what the ticket price would be.
They are being introduced by manufacturer. They want to increase
(22:39):
passenger capacity by twenty percent, and they unveiled it at
the Aircraft Interiors Expo several years ago, and they said
it's an innovative seat. It allows an ultra high density
in the aircraft cabin and it opens up the traveling
experience to a wider passenger market. Okay, Caine, And I
(23:02):
know one has the video of how I watched this
guy struggle with a bag in there you Okay, So
if I'm flying, I do work typically unless it's on vacation,
and I don't know this guy. If you're watching the simulcast,
how in the world do you even open your laptop
or anything to work in that.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
You don't. How do you uncompress your spine? You don't.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Next they're going to be we're strapping passengers to the
wings to increase our capacity and open up a whole
new market of passenger class. Yes, you're gonna get buckled,
and you get a hold onto your suitcase tight. We're
gonna strap you to the wing.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Wing straps are only ten bucks with budget airlines.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
With budget airlines, and you get extra leg room if
you're strapped onto the wings, fresh air, no drinks or bathroom.
But you won't notice because you'll probably defecate your bridges
before we even leave the ground. I it looks like hell.
I think I don't like being enclosed in small spaces,
and I think I would riot. I think I would immediately.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I barely want to be on a plane. When I'm
seated comfortably.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's like you're sitting on a banana. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Even if I'm seated comfortably, I hate being on the plane,
Like this is what do I want?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Now? Two additional people closer to me.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
And people are weird on planes. I mean, this fellow
can't even get in. He's trying to squeeze himself in.
I love it. You knew that, you know, you know
that when they unveiled us at the expo, they were like, Okay, Bob,
why don't you just slide in there and let's see
if you can get all you know situated. And he's
you know, they were trying to show how easy and
nice these seats were. That guy was on the Struggle
(24:49):
bus like instantly trying to wedge himself in there. Now,
the first chick, there's nobody in front of her, so
she can sit in it. Fine. Her legs are even
extended out further than this guy. Look at this guy
get in the seat. He's struggling to even get in
the seat. You can't even get in it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I thought we were moving in the direction where no case,
we need bigger seats because you remember those people that
with the large bottoms that they they're just huge butts
and they have to buy two seats, you know what
I mean? Like, that's the that's the direction we were moving.
What is this?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So what happens if you're one of those individuals.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Oh, you need that damn whole row and in front
of you.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, and you and you're trying to like get and
then what happens then, because are they gonna have to
come in I'm gonna pull up this. What happens then?
If that's if that's you, if that's you, if that's you,
then what happens? And you're you know, where you're sitting
next to someone that they can't in a like a
normal seat, they would take a couple of the seats.
I can't I can't even believe that this is the
(25:49):
thing that we're all considering. So, I mean, I don't know.
In Turkey it might not be a problem. Did you
hear what they're doing in Turkey?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So? Overweight people are publicly weighed in order to slim
down under new rules in Turkey, and they have inspectors
patrol in public spaces.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Wait a minute, is that what this is? Without actually
weighing people, without actually weighing people, they.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well, in Turkey, this is a separate story.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
No, I know about have to think about that. This
is what they're doing. Instead of weighing you, they're making
these tiny seats that make it impossible. So you look
at them, You're like, well, I can't go in there.
I'm too big for that. Yeah boom. Now, fat people
aren't flying.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
They rolled out a nationwide plan to stop and weigh
people in public, with inspectors telling them to slim down
if they're found to be overweight. Health workers in Turkey
have been deployed across each of the country's eighty one
regions with weighing scales and tape measures. As the drive
to assess ten million people by July tenth is underway.
Passerby are stopped by medical examiners for spot body mess
(26:55):
index checks. What if you don't want to do it though,
I don't think that's probably going to be an option
for you to not do it, But they said, yeah,
they everybody, everybody that they're and then they're asked, they're
told to go to a dietitian or whatever and then
they have to lose weight. But yeah, they've they're in
shopping malls, they're out in the streets. There are people
(27:16):
who've been posting pictures all around Turkeys shown that they're
being guided onto weighing scales, having their height measured, and
then they're weight calculated and they're told to slim up
and they go well, like drivers are worn of speeding traps,
you know, they're warning people about being overweight. Can you imagine.
(27:37):
It's an anti obesity campaign that officials describe as a
national fight, and they're running it under the tagline know
your weight and Live Healthy. It started on May tenth,
and they're going to serve a one in eight Turks.
Anybody with a BMI over twenty five are referred to
as state run family health center and a healthy life
center where they get nutritional counseling and follow up services.
(27:57):
Now the Turks are mad. They're saying that this this
says the government being out of touch with the daily
realities of soaring food prices and wage stagnation and the
impact this has on healthy eating, et cetera, et cetera.
And the Erduwan government has been criticized because they're like
it's super public. They're weighing everybody in public. They're like
fat shaming you in public. Now, I'm all about being healthy,
(28:18):
and I don't like the whole body positivity campaign that
celebrates morbid obesity. But I also think I don't like
the government walking around at all, like saying, hey, get
up here, Sally on this scale and we're gonna weigh you.
Tammy Karen Yamish, get up here on this scale, and
we're gonna weigh you, and then everybody sees it. Now,
(28:41):
the World Health Organization, if whatever, how you want to
take this, they estimated that thirty percent of people in
Turkey are obese, and so they said that, Yeah, that's
how they're going to They think that this is they
think this is gonna work. How would that work in
the United States? I would imagine somebody's scale would get broken.
If somebody tried doing that, I think I would knock
(29:03):
the scale out of their hands and like, get away
from me. No, you can't because a hippa. I mean,
there's no way you could do something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But I'm totally less bothered by weighing people before they
get on the plane than those damn seats you first.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Okay, not over the seat?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Well, they don't weigh you before you get on the plane.
This is a whole other planet.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But there's no possible way that I could ever ever
think of flying on a plane like that. There's no like,
think about it. Now, you're fitting how many more people
in the plane? Twenty thirty? So now now we have
an issue of a weight problem. We have now more
people in the plane. Now, I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
About how many times have you heard too where they
have to adjust the weight of the plane. Yeah, and
they have. They ask people to get off, and I'm like,
wait a minute, you're only asking like four or five
people to get off. So you're telling me whether or
not this thing sinks or flies, falls out of the
sky or not is dependent upon four people to be
on this plane. Makes me worried.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Physics is still a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Oh a little bit, just a little bit, Yeah that, Yeah,
physics is the thing that bothers me. So I don't know.
But they said that. One of the things that the
Turkish people were hitting back at is they were saying
that a lot of the professional athletes they have technically
qualify as overweight based solely on their BMI because they
have much more muscle mass, which weighs proportionally more than fat,
(30:19):
Which is true? Is that? So? Yeah, they wouldn't be
taking that into consideration, would they do. You see how
stupid these government like, a government run program like this is.
It's so dumb. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition

It's his life mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for Florida. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Well, I mean, it's not a bad place to fall asleep.
If you're gonna fall asleep drunk in your car somewhere,
why not of Popeyes? I mean that's what this one
dude thought. It was imported Saint Lucie. A man's late
night food run ended up with jail time instead of
some Popeyes chicken. Man, they do have some good chicken.
Officers say that his name is Love florial.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Passed out behind the wheel and the Popeyes drive through
while the restaurant was closed. Now the car was still
running and in drive open liquor containers and drugs all
in plane view. Apparently mister Floriale, not to be confused
with Loreal, Mister Love Floriale, was coming from a night out.
He's running club wristband. He was arrested and taken to
(00:57):
Saint Lucy Jail, where he's charged with a DUI in possession.
So I mean, maybe he just wait for them to open.
You know, I'm just gonna pull up and had little
net wait for them to open, you know, get me
chicken in a biscuit. I don't know, maybe just saying.
Apparently Rockstar changed one of their GTA six characters after
a floor to man, what did money? Gosh, this is
like so perfect Grand Theft Auto fans are convinced that
(01:21):
one of the characters in GTA six was changed after
Rockstar Games got called out for money over likeness. I
don't even know, because I don't play this game at all.
It's never I've never allowed my kids to play it.
I'm like, now, we're not If you're gonna shoot baddies
in the face, that's one thing, But you're not gonna
get to play as a gang banger with a prostitute.
Not gonna happen. But they had, like fans have been
really like obsessing over trailers in screenshots and they think
(01:42):
that there's one character that's based on this TikToker and
the guy said that he used his light, that Rockstar
used his likeness and once wanted to get paid, and
so they looks like they took him out of it.
So welcome back to the program, Dana Lash if you
were at the bottom of this very weird second hour.
(02:04):
So as you know, Cain and I both come from
the illustrious city known can as Saint Lewis, not Saint Louis.
That's just in a song Saint Louis, Saint Let's gets
a lot of tornadoes, or as may a grandmother would say,
tornader's sounds really similar to tomatoes now that I'm thinking
(02:29):
about it, but anyway, uh, also delicious. But they had
a lot of storms and a lot of people are
cleaning up, and I mean some towns have been really
just ransacked. I think, what there's a town in Iron County, Missouri,
does Ark, Missouri, which was obliterated by not this last tornado,
but the one before that, and I think they got
some fall up from this last one too. So a
(02:49):
lot of storm damage, a lot of recovery, a lot
of destruction. Well, then there was this story that came
out because there was there were a lot of questions
as to you know, preparedness and response right very important.
You know, there's a reason why you got tornado sirens
and alerts and things like that. Like for instance, the
(03:12):
town that I live in, they they send you out
text messages with inclement weather, a lot of them. Sometimes
you don't need to send out that many. But I digress. Well,
something bad happened in Saint Louis and it had to
do with this very dei ish commissioner. Five people were
(03:33):
killed in these tornadoes that happened last week, and the
DEI commissioner of this city emergency Management Agency and her staff,
they were at a workshop and they just totally forgot
to activate the tornado sirens. Oh sorry, the commissioner uses.
They then pronouns, Yeah, they just got thrown out on
(03:54):
their They them's because they didn't press the button alerting
everyone that there was a tornado, which you have to
be near a button depressed to tell everybody, hey, there's
a tornado. We don't have the technology to do it
like remotely a anyway, so I wanted to This is
that's what happened. After the devastating storm. The emergency management director, uh,
(04:18):
they them, Sarah Avam Russell. They them failed to activate
the tornado sirens and residents had no idea whiskey tango
foxtrot was happening. Now they placed a them, they them, Sarah,
they them on paid administrative leave. I know that sounds
(04:39):
like vacation. More time for her to go to Texas
outback or out back steakhouse or Texas Roadhouse or whatever.
Here's the audio. She uh, they them Seema, they them
the audio somebody twenty seven. Here's some audio on this listen.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
The SEMA office is very small and so have the
majority of the time we work closer to business hours
unless the need arises, such as what we're doing now
or special events. A lot of that work takes us
out into the community, so we aren't necessarily in our
office space at all times. We do have a very
small staff. I have received reports of people that did
hear it. I've heard from a lot of people that
(05:18):
said they haven't heard it.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Hm, hm, excuse me, it's ma'am.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
So it is, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The SEEMA director was placed on paid administrative leave, and
in a statement, the mayor, Karas Spencer said that SEEMA
quote failed to alert the public to dangers. Let me see,
(05:45):
your agency is called Checksnotes City Emergency Management Agency, so
you manage emergencies as an agency for this city. It's
pretty self explanatory.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You have one job, oh no jobs, one cain ouo
jobs on jobs.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's all you have. And she couldn't do that. She
couldn't hit the button because they were out of workshop.
I mean, in Saint Louis, it's a little bit different
from Texas. Texas. You'll be outside, it's a Sunday day
and all of a sudden, the fates conspire to kill you.
Out of nowhere. Big clouds roll in before you can
(06:37):
run screaming to your car, and rain drops as big
as animals just pelt you to death. And in Saint
Louis you can see it coming from a mile away.
It is a build up. It doesn't really come out
of nowhere. Born and raised there doesn't really come out
of nowhere. I mean, you see it coming and you have,
you know, have time to at least think, at least
(06:59):
maybe we should maybe we should activate that good ole
emergency management system is a part of the checks Notes
City Emergency Management Agency. And they them, Sarah, they them
didn't do that, so people were not alerted to the
public danger. Now that's your one job that you have.
(07:24):
So they are placed on leave and they said that
it comes there. Launching an internal investigation into the actions
of Sarah gave them Sarah her on the day of
the tornado. Because the sirens they did not sound as
a tornado busted up major parts of Saint Louis. There
(07:45):
was no siren none. You have one job she was
at now a workshop. So Russell contacted the fire department
to activate the sirens later, but apparently the unclear communication
nobody really you have to do all of that. There's
not like you know, I mean, hell, you have a
(08:06):
life alert button. You can fall down somewhere and laugh
alert and people will come get you. You don't have
nothing like that for a tornado. In places like Saint
Louis in the spring, you basically have to wear one
to just oh if there's a tornado. I mean, it's
like that. There's so many. When I sidebar. When I
was a little kid, I was in a tornado. I've
been in I've been near a tornado once and in
(08:26):
a tornado once and it was hit our daycare and
I watched. So we had giant concrete tubes that you,
as a kid, I could stand up and an adult
would have to crouch down. But the tornado rolled those things.
I've never seen anything like. It didn't bother the chain
link fence for the playground, but it rolled the concrete
tubes that we would literally roll and play. I've never
(08:47):
seen anything like that happen in my life. Crazy. And
then another time when I had just had my second son,
there was a tornado that came through and we lived
in rural near outside of Festus, and I saw nado
from my backyard. I saw the final cloud from my backyard,
and we all had to go get in the basement
and I had to break open my collectible Mason window
figuring to keep my oldest son from crying. His head
(09:09):
office never got over that loss, but remind him of
it frequently. But it worked. The Uh, why was there
any kind of ambiguity? That's one of the things that
they cited. There was ambiguity in the directive to act Caine.
Let's play a game, right, Okay, you're a fire department.
I'm the they them, city whatever management management, emergency person.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
That authorizes these warnings.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, thank go ahead, bring bring bring fire department. I
think there's a tornado. Can you press the button?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Will do? Thanks?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Scene and scene. That's how it works. You know this person,
I do. Actually you got a photo with them they here.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Years of doing radio, did twenty eight years of radio
in Saint Louis. You do these are urgency preparedness segments
on occasion, and we brought her in every year for
the Saint Louis Emergency Management preparedness messaging that they're, you know,
to do.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Do you find her competent?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I didn't find her incompetent. I don't you know.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Let's make you have a picture with a small boy.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah she's short. I mean I'm tall, but she's short.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
It's like like small boy short.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Let's see what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I'm just saying, but yeah, I didn't particularly find anything
incompetent about her at that point. I mean, these are
some major mistakes.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
This is kind of a job that five people dead.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
No for sure, and this is something that she's gonna
definitely have to answer for. Like I don't know how
you get on paid administrative leave after this.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
But especially when you're a dee I hire, like they
like they put kin Is with this small child once,
throwing the photo up.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Look at that. Yeah, oh yes, there's.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Five people dead and you can't do it. But they
send out all of this other pride stuff all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
That's twenty fifteen right now.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So they send out all this pride stuff all the time.
So I send you that you guys have it says
prepare with Pride and they're talking about I guess when
you go out for Fourth of July or something like that,
and it says prepare with Pride hydrate during the festival.
We're like, wait, like what does that have to do
with Why does it have to be like a Pride
thing with the trans stuff on there? Why does that
have to I don't know, Like it just seems like
(11:23):
there's a lot more emphasis placed on like this is
how we have sex and we have to make sure
it's incorporated even and how we hydrate, hydrate with how
we have sex, make sure you stay hydrated.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Like a lot of that was just an effort to
make you know the agency itself seem ima.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I mean, why is it? Why do you have to
have this DEI stuff like does the tornado button get
pressed less if it's a straight person as opposed to
someone who's they then apparently not? I just like, what
is it? Does it? If I don't care what your
intersectionality bs? Whatever is right? It means you compress that
button faster. If somehow being a they then gives you
(12:05):
gives you like a speed buff, then fine. Whatever saysn't
damn dark tide. This is not like, oh, let's see,
I got a blessing now on my weapon. I get
to have this you know, endurance buff and I have
you know, stammin a buff and ooh, I got a
boost an arm. That's not how this works. They act
like they're add ons that like improve somehow function and
(12:26):
instead it doesn't. It doesn't at all. It ignores. So
many times we have seen well qualified people get ignored
because they didn't check an intersectionality box. Well, yes, sir,
we see that you're a You literally lasso tornadoes single
handedly and submit them. Uh you, but again, you're applying
(12:50):
for this emergency management position. But how do you have sex? Though?
I'm sorry, you don't have sex the right way? So
you're just qualified. We're gonna go with this young they
them over here instead, who can't press the damn button
to warn people that there's a tornado barreling down the
highway towards them, to kill them all.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And mind you, it's not just about president button. Like,
let's say she's out and about like she was, you
can call the fire department and they'll activate the sirens.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I feel like they're trying to blame the fire department.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
It could.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I mean, it's not like, Wow, the weather's sunny today,
We're gonna go out to a workshop. That's not how
Saint Louis weather has ever worked on God's green Earth
ever in a history of human kind, in the history
of dino kind, It's never worked that way ever. You know,
it's bad weather. It's gonna be a bad day when
you wake up, you know it, because the weather's gonna
(13:42):
just blow. It's gonna be horrible. Let's go to a workshop.
I'm gonna get it. I mean, I also, can we
talk about why do you have to be physically near
a button?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, Saint Louis didn't put a statement out. They said
moving forward that they'll.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Explicitly, now that these people are dead, the.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
City policy now will explicitly be the apartment of the
fire department issue the warnings.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
By people had to die so they could remember who
could issue what warnings. Bang up, job, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Man, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, yeah, man, not as rough as finding five dead
bodies in the rubble of a tornado. That they were
right about.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
That's what I'm talking about that.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this. This
is insane. This is insane. Somebody in the checkos now
the new prom nouns now has been that's right. They
got thrown out on their day thems now it's it
has been good heavens. So they suspended this, and I mean,
the devastation is just it's just crazy. I don't know.
(14:42):
They were like, oh, there's a breakdown in communication. How
the hell is there a breakdown in communication on this? Wow?
What's that big funnel in the sky. It's a ternator?
Sound the alarm? How do you get that wrong? It's
not like there's a lot of steps. It's not like
the Hadron collider. You're not run anything crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
This particular agency didn't have a lot to do at all,
and the thing was that the bar was so low
for what you had to do that nothing was required
of you until it was and then you failed.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, you have one job, one job, one job. That's it.
That's it. I'm so done with this stuff. I mean,
clearly this broad they then they is, I don't care
about your stupid pronouns. Just do your job. Do your
damn job, unless again, any of your cosplaying gives you
a buff of speed or uh, you know anything, else, No,
(15:39):
nobody cares. Nobody cares. Stop it. And an aside to this,
how weird is it that we actually think about that
when you're hiding, when you're hiring for diversity. Well wait
a minute, how do you have sex and the manner
in which you get it on? How does that help
you do your job of pushing buttons during the agency
(16:00):
weather systems? I'm not kidding you. That's literally it. You're
like Dana. That sounds absurd, yes, because it is absurd.
The whole damn thing is absurd. You are so correct.
Just do the job, Just do it. I just can't.
(16:21):
I can't. I just I'm done. All right, we have
more on the way, so we roll the words Florida.
Maybe Florida man will sit. You know what, Florida man
would oppress the button, probably with a gator, but he
would have pressed the button. Maybe he would have had
him left a meth fingerprint behind, he'd a press the button.
So let's be real. Medical freedom isn't just a catchphrase.

And now all of the news you would probably miss,
it's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So apparently a daughter was charged with a with assault
in a fork attack. It's a fork attack. Everybody she
attacked her mother, and it was in Canyan County three
felony accounts related to domestic violence. Where's the woodenspoon? Because
they feel like would spoon beats fork all day long?

and they've been arranged. So thirty five or thirty five
years old and you're trying to stab your mom with
a fork? What's the matter with you? That's a matter
you didn't get the wooden spoon enough. An activist set
eighty feet up in a tree near Port Angelus for
(18:30):
two weeks for what we don't know, Well, I mean
we do, but no, it's something to do with the trees.
It's the Olympic Forest Defender Network of conservationists. And this
dude lived two thirds up a fur tree. What an address? Yes?
Can you send that to? Two thirds up the fur
tree in Port Angeles protesting the sale of a swath
(18:52):
of forest by the Washington Department of Natural resources. They
call it apparently a legacy forest. Blah blah blah. They're
protecting the tree. They said it doesn't make financial says.
I don't know, but I'm just I wouldn't camp in
a tree. No, I tossed and hern.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Did he bring two weeks of food and diapers?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
What did he do?
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Well?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I mean, I guess you could just hang over the
side and you know, oh, come on, pray and spray.
I don't know, like I I'm just assuming.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I even asked, Well, you did ask a question, Kane,
and I did, in all of my knowledge, answer your
question to the best of my ability. I'm sorry that
it made you uncomfortable over there.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Thankful and sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
A bearded dragon saved its owner from a house fire.
I've heard of some things before I kind of want
to call shenanigans. So a bearded dragon, apparently his name
is Spike. He woke up his owner, Donald from a
nap because he jumped on his face, insisting that he
wake up. Now, I would just think that this is
shenanigans from a lizard. Donald opened his eyes and saw
(19:49):
his bathroom was on fire, extinguished the flames before they
spread to the rest of the home. He apparently slept
through the smoke of arms, but not through his bearded
dragon jumping on his face. Do you think that that's
what the lizard was doing or was the lizard like,
I hate you and I'm going to try to suffocate
you to the best of my ability.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I'd like to believe it's true.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I mean, now he's got salmonilla all over his face.
That's my first thought. I'd be like, EWA, a man
was attacked by a swarm of bees and it killed him.
This is horrible. He was in Eastland, Texas, mo on
the lawn and apparently he made a hive quite angry.
(20:29):
This is so sad. He was again mowing the lawn.
Officer did finally pull up to the scene. They said
that around they had reports of a collision and it
caused all kinds of stuff. The guy was being sworn
by bees because it all had to do with this
guy mowing the lawn going over hive. His face swelled up.
He could hardly see. It was just anaphylactic that killed him.
(20:50):
So sad, so sad. We have a mourn story. Folks
over at Celtech they have this. I mean, they have
different versions of the fold in half carbine. But now
you have it chambered and all kinds of stuff, including
brand new ten millimeter and everything made right here in
the US of A, all American parts, all American labor,
and all American ingenuity. Single twist and fold motion of
(21:12):
the rotating for unfolds this quickly and half optics and
all you don't have to detach anything, and just as
quickly it deploys, zeroed and ready to rock. It folds
down to sixteen and a half inches for easy storage
and transport. Takes clockmags. You got a reliable BLOWBIKEE design
ensuring ease and maintenance and consistent performance. A five pound
trigger pool for greater accuracy, internal buffer for software, recoil
(21:34):
rails up top for accessories inlock integrated. It's ideal for
home defense, backpacking, and camping, as well as law enforcement,
school church. I mean, whatever it is you needed for,
it's ready and they have a great, like I said,
great innovative designs and they stand behind everything that they make.

(21:54):
k E Ltec Weapons dot Com. Tell them Dana sent
you can we go back to this one thing that
we had in headlines real quick. This is audio Sunday
twenty one showed you some of this. I need to
have a conversation about the standing airplane seats. Are they
trying to get people to go all falling down with
Michael Douglas in the sky.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
This will do it?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
So budget airlines are considering launching these controversial I'm looking
at the name of Skyrider two point zero standing seats. Yeah,
and I don't know what the ticket price would be.
They are being introduced by manufacturer. They want to increase
(22:39):
passenger capacity by twenty percent, and they unveiled it at
the Aircraft Interiors Expo several years ago, and they said
it's an innovative seat. It allows an ultra high density
in the aircraft cabin and it opens up the traveling
experience to a wider passenger market. Okay, Caine, And I
(23:02):
know one has the video of how I watched this
guy struggle with a bag in there you Okay, So
if I'm flying, I do work typically unless it's on vacation,
and I don't know this guy. If you're watching the simulcast,
how in the world do you even open your laptop
or anything to work in that.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
You don't. How do you uncompress your spine? You don't.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Next they're going to be we're strapping passengers to the
wings to increase our capacity and open up a whole
new market of passenger class. Yes, you're gonna get buckled,
and you get a hold onto your suitcase tight. We're
gonna strap you to the wing.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Wing straps are only ten bucks with budget airlines.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
With budget airlines, and you get extra leg room if
you're strapped onto the wings, fresh air, no drinks or bathroom.
But you won't notice because you'll probably defecate your bridges
before we even leave the ground. I it looks like hell.
I think I don't like being enclosed in small spaces,
and I think I would riot. I think I would immediately.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I barely want to be on a plane. When I'm
seated comfortably.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's like you're sitting on a banana. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Even if I'm seated comfortably, I hate being on the plane,
Like this is what do I want?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Now? Two additional people closer to me.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
And people are weird on planes. I mean, this fellow
can't even get in. He's trying to squeeze himself in.
I love it. You knew that, you know, you know
that when they unveiled us at the expo, they were like, Okay, Bob,
why don't you just slide in there and let's see
if you can get all you know situated. And he's
you know, they were trying to show how easy and
nice these seats were. That guy was on the Struggle
(24:49):
bus like instantly trying to wedge himself in there. Now,
the first chick, there's nobody in front of her, so
she can sit in it. Fine. Her legs are even
extended out further than this guy. Look at this guy
get in the seat. He's struggling to even get in
the seat. You can't even get in it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I thought we were moving in the direction where no case,
we need bigger seats because you remember those people that
with the large bottoms that they they're just huge butts
and they have to buy two seats, you know what
I mean? Like, that's the that's the direction we were moving.
What is this?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So what happens if you're one of those individuals.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Oh, you need that damn whole row and in front
of you.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, and you and you're trying to like get and
then what happens then, because are they gonna have to
come in I'm gonna pull up this. What happens then?
If that's if that's you, if that's you, if that's you,
then what happens? And you're you know, where you're sitting
next to someone that they can't in a like a
normal seat, they would take a couple of the seats.
I can't I can't even believe that this is the
(25:49):
thing that we're all considering. So, I mean, I don't know.
In Turkey it might not be a problem. Did you
hear what they're doing in Turkey?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So? Overweight people are publicly weighed in order to slim
down under new rules in Turkey, and they have inspectors
patrol in public spaces.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Wait a minute, is that what this is? Without actually
weighing people, without actually weighing people, they.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well, in Turkey, this is a separate story.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
No, I know about have to think about that. This
is what they're doing. Instead of weighing you, they're making
these tiny seats that make it impossible. So you look
at them, You're like, well, I can't go in there.
I'm too big for that. Yeah boom. Now, fat people
aren't flying.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
They rolled out a nationwide plan to stop and weigh
people in public, with inspectors telling them to slim down
if they're found to be overweight. Health workers in Turkey
have been deployed across each of the country's eighty one
regions with weighing scales and tape measures. As the drive
to assess ten million people by July tenth is underway.
Passerby are stopped by medical examiners for spot body mess
(26:55):
index checks. What if you don't want to do it though,
I don't think that's probably going to be an option
for you to not do it, But they said, yeah,
they everybody, everybody that they're and then they're asked, they're
told to go to a dietitian or whatever and then
they have to lose weight. But yeah, they've they're in
shopping malls, they're out in the streets. There are people
(27:16):
who've been posting pictures all around Turkeys shown that they're
being guided onto weighing scales, having their height measured, and
then they're weight calculated and they're told to slim up
and they go well, like drivers are worn of speeding traps,
you know, they're warning people about being overweight. Can you imagine.
(27:37):
It's an anti obesity campaign that officials describe as a
national fight, and they're running it under the tagline know
your weight and Live Healthy. It started on May tenth,
and they're going to serve a one in eight Turks.
Anybody with a BMI over twenty five are referred to
as state run family health center and a healthy life
center where they get nutritional counseling and follow up services.
(27:57):
Now the Turks are mad. They're saying that this this
says the government being out of touch with the daily
realities of soaring food prices and wage stagnation and the
impact this has on healthy eating, et cetera, et cetera.
And the Erduwan government has been criticized because they're like
it's super public. They're weighing everybody in public. They're like
fat shaming you in public. Now, I'm all about being healthy,
(28:18):
and I don't like the whole body positivity campaign that
celebrates morbid obesity. But I also think I don't like
the government walking around at all, like saying, hey, get
up here, Sally on this scale and we're gonna weigh you.
Tammy Karen Yamish, get up here on this scale, and
we're gonna weigh you, and then everybody sees it. Now,
(28:41):
the World Health Organization, if whatever, how you want to
take this, they estimated that thirty percent of people in
Turkey are obese, and so they said that, Yeah, that's
how they're going to They think that this is they
think this is gonna work. How would that work in
the United States? I would imagine somebody's scale would get broken.
If somebody tried doing that, I think I would knock
(29:03):
the scale out of their hands and like, get away
from me. No, you can't because a hippa. I mean,
there's no way you could do something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But I'm totally less bothered by weighing people before they
get on the plane than those damn seats you first.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Okay, not over the seat?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Well, they don't weigh you before you get on the plane.
This is a whole other planet.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I know that.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But there's no possible way that I could ever ever
think of flying on a plane like that. There's no like,
think about it. Now, you're fitting how many more people
in the plane? Twenty thirty? So now now we have
an issue of a weight problem. We have now more
people in the plane. Now, I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
About how many times have you heard too where they
have to adjust the weight of the plane. Yeah, and
they have. They ask people to get off, and I'm like,
wait a minute, you're only asking like four or five
people to get off. So you're telling me whether or
not this thing sinks or flies, falls out of the
sky or not is dependent upon four people to be
on this plane. Makes me worried.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Physics is still a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Oh a little bit, just a little bit, Yeah that, Yeah,
physics is the thing that bothers me. So I don't know.
But they said that. One of the things that the
Turkish people were hitting back at is they were saying
that a lot of the professional athletes they have technically
qualify as overweight based solely on their BMI because they
have much more muscle mass, which weighs proportionally more than fat,
(30:19):
Which is true? Is that? So? Yeah, they wouldn't be
taking that into consideration, would they do. You see how
stupid these government like, a government run program like this is.
It's so dumb. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition
