Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's his laugh mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's time for Florida man.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
So let's see here.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
We're gonna start with because we got I feel like
I feel like Florida man has been kind of quiet.
So we've got one Florida arrested. He said he had
a dirty bomb in his truck following a crash. He
looks like a dirty bomb himself.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Good night.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
This guy's forty three years old. Yeah, he looks like
if you pulled hair out of the shower drain, you know,
when you're cleaning your bathroom. That's what he looks like.
Look at him. He looks like that Haines Cidy. They
said they were responding to a public's late Friday evening.
There was a Chevy Silverado involved in a crash, and,
according to the release, officers made contact with the driver,
forty three year old Benjamin Johnson. He refused commands to
(00:56):
eggsit the vehicle. Blah blah blah blah blah blah, he complained.
He said that he had a dirty bomb inside his truck.
Too long, didn't read no, he didn't moving on, he
didn't but he just he said he didn't. They got
to take When people say that they have to take
all these precautions too, it's like, oh now we got
to shut down the whole city block, We got to
(01:19):
bring in the bomb squad, all of it. Let's see,
I don't want that one, but I do want this one.
A Florida man is accused of choking a victim with
an umbrella in a home depot fight.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A sixty six year old facing off against a fifty
four year old. Ramondriguez, sixty six, is accused of choking
a fifty four year old man with an umbrella at
a home depot. According to Monroe County Sheriff's Office, victim
told deputies that Rodriguez hit him with his truck as
he exited the store. That seems like that was on purpose,
(01:57):
I mean how and it led to a verbal dispute,
so he said that he had pushed a shopping cart.
The report states. The victim told deputies he pushed a
shopping cartner Rodriguez truck. Investigators see the confrontation continued inside
the store. Then Rodriguez grabbed an umbrella upon entering the store,
used to perform to perform a rear naked choke on
the victim, preventing him temporarily from breathing and hum deepost
(02:20):
staff had to intervene and separate them. And then Rodriguez
left the store and went to the went to return
to his construction site, and he was arrested in charge
of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. So he got
in trouble for that, all of that, and that's he
got in trouble for it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Uh. Yeah, I don't want to talk.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh golly, this is a village as I got a
village's story for a villager.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It's like minecraft. A villager got caught with drugs in
his prison wallet. I don't know how to say it.
The son of a couple in the village were sentenced
to one hundred and eighty days.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Behind bars for.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, kin, he had drugs in a baggie in his
bomb and I guess he didn't think that the deputies
at Sumter County Detention Center where he was booked would
find it. They weren't going to notice, apparently, but guess
what they did. So they do because they did a
(03:30):
body scan, and I guess this guy didn't anticipate that
there was going to be a body scan. Trying to
figure out like the most nice way I can talk
about this story. So they detected a foreign object in
his lower abdomen according to the rest report, and then
when they did a strip search, they noticed, oh, well,
you know it's not visible, so that means we got
to go in.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And that's when this is so gross. I'm not even
can't believe you chose that one over the I can't
read anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Basically, they they were able to get the contra van
and then he now has additional charges because you can't
bring controlled substances into prison, and it's so gross. They
did not need to go into the level of detail
that they did. He birthed three packages in his jail
cell and apparently the cellmate was like horrified.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So there you go. We have our third hour on
the way. There's no coming back from this one.
Speaker 3 (04:23):

goes to cinnabon? How many people go to a cinnabon?
(05:31):
I mean, yeah, I know, right, I think the last
time I even physically like saw a cinnabon.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Is it am I saying that? Or a sinabun cinnabon sinbon?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I think I've always said cinnabun, cinnabun.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's c I in in a b o n right
at the end, should be bun. It's sinabun, isn't it.
I don't know, I don't know. I just it's, you know,
one of those little mall things. It actually was like
in the early off, so it was at a mall.
I bring this upcome back, by the way. I bring
this up because there was a milkshake duck incident in
(06:05):
Wisconsonant over the weekend. Now you might be asking yourself, Dana,
the hell is this phrase milkshake duck that you said
just right before we went to break and now again,
let me tell you the.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Story of it. I'll be very quickly. It's thirty seconds
in under.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It was a joke that someone said, oh, here's a
little duck that loves milkshakes, and it's a little picture
of a duck with a milkshake. And then, you know,
fifteen seconds later, we regret to inform you that the
duck is racist, meaning that people, these people are discovered
like the lady in the Chewbacca mask, remember that whole thing,
And then the Internet does its thing and they try
to find some disqualifying event in that person's life as
(06:39):
a way to discredit them from receiving public odulation.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's kind of it.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't know, it's people mad because something good happens
to someone and they want to just douce all over it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
For the lack of a better way to put it.
This is a little different though.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
So this was in a cinnabon and it was a
female serve her And all I know is that the
video starts already. The drama is in progress when the
video begins, right. It's like when you join a news
conference and it's like, oh, well, we're gonna go take
this live, already in progress, right.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's very similar to that. So this lady, she.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Is working the cinnabon, right, and these two Somali customers
are apparently harassing her. Now, the way that it went,
the story goes, is that they were harassing her because
she wasn't wearing a hit job, she wasn't wearing a
basically dressing like a ghost with a slit for eyes,
(07:39):
and they were upset with her and they went back
and forth, and then she decided to call them a
racial slur. She called them the inWORD, and it just
continued to escalate from that point. I don't even think
can we even play any of this. Okay, Steve spent
an on badly amount of time censoring this for you,
(08:01):
so you all better appreciate it because he had to
bleep out every Listen, I am racist, say that to
the whole entire world. Tell me gets your life, by
the way, talking about you're talking about you're talking about
(08:23):
the sticks.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You want a fire from this relation.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You're not going to be walking here sucking suck.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, look how you look?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
What's song? Was you?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
My gosh, Like, why does this keep happening? I would
have I was already bored. I was already bored. So
it's the Cinnabon employee and apparently what happened and it
doesn't show that you know, nobody's in the right here,
but there's some Just chill for a second, listen to
the whole remarks before everybody clinches their butts. First off,
I think the Somali couple are trash. I think they're
(09:01):
absolute trash. I think it is ratastic to walk into
a Cinnabond with the purpose of starting problems.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
If you don't like the fact that a woman isn't
wearing a hit job, then go to a Muslim country
where they're wearing a hit job, you know, good grief.
And he was at the very beginning of this exchange,
he was sexualizing her with his remarks, and you can
kind of hear them in the beginning. He sort of
tells on himself in the beginning of the clip because
(09:29):
you can kind of hear it. He's sexualizing her with
his remarks. And again, all of it is because he
feels as though his point is that her not having
the head covering and all.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Of that invites sexualization.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And so he's telling her that because she disrespectfully doesn't
wear a hit job, that that means he is entitled
to sexually slur her.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
So he's a.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Piece of He's a thug. These two, they're absolute thugs.
Now does that mean when you're at work work? Does
that mean that you can do what she did? I
don't think she did herself any favors. First off, you're
an employee at work, and this is where I think
you got to draw the line. You are at work
and you are wearing the company apron, and the company
has the right to say we don't think that you
(10:14):
should have reacted that way. Now, I don't know if
she's the manager or not, the manager should have stepped in.
At the very least, I probably would have called the
police to come and handle the situation, and would have
and would have had them permanently barred from the store.
I would have called police and said, these people are
sexually propositioning me, they are harassing me, and I would
(10:35):
have You never, ever, ever want to give the people
who are the aggressors the opportunity to turn the tables
on you and make themselves look like they're the victims.
And her behavior, her response allowed for that to happen. Now,
I don't think that you need to say slurs or whatever.
I think the company they didn't like the way that
she handled it, and they have every right to fire her.
(10:56):
I think it's kind of ridiculous that there's a GoFundMe
that started, because, again, when you're working a job, and
I've worked many a job where I've had to handle
many a rowdy person. I mean when I was in college,
I was a cocktail waitress on Friday and Saturday nights
and going through school, and so I've seen, I've seen,
and you know, I've handled some things. You can't respond
(11:18):
to situations like that. It's just not professional, and I
don't care if it's a cinnabon or where it is.
You know, you got a job to do. And so
I feel like she more than anything else. She can't
control what the customers do, but she can control what
she does, and she can control her reactions. Had she
just called the police and handled it that way, I
(11:39):
think she would still have her job.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Plus I also.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Think that somebody probably would have created a GoFundMe for
her anyway, and she would have been maybe even more
awarded for her behavior than this, because she didn't make
herself look great, right, Yeah, she was the one who
started being victimized. But then with her behavior, these two
somalis that are absolutely track, she ended up making them
(12:03):
look like the victims because then they could say, oh,
it's a racial slur because apparently, and this is in
leftist world, you can sexually proposition a woman, you can
even commit battery, but and that's considered less than if
she were to say something demeaning about you know, any
kind of any with any sort of racial aspect. Then
immediately that is that's considered worse. So I mean, it's
(12:28):
the GoFundMe that they that they have for hers, like
nineteen thousand dollars at this point, and everyone said, oh,
well she's a racist employee, blah blah blah. But all
the people that are spinning it, they are they're literally
forgetting and they're leaving out how the man and the
woman were immediately walked in and started it. They immediately
walked in and started harassing her, and they started sexually
(12:51):
slurring her. But here's what's funny. And I have this
on my rundown. This is what's funny. Here's the other
reason that I really don't care about this check and
I have this, It's on our rundown. Here, Kine, what
does this show you? And this link that I have, Oh,
she has a Biden Harris sign in her yard. It
(13:14):
says Women's Choices on the Ballot vote Democrat. Her name
is Crystal Trees. This is a photo that she has
on her own social media of all the Democrat signs
in her yard. She has photos of herself on social
media wearing Democrat stickers. She is a major Democrat, So
I really don't care. I'm not going to donate to
(13:36):
some racist Democrats. Go fund me. She's a Democrat, so
I like to watch them fight with each other.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
There we go.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
She voted, probably voted to bring all the Somalis into Wisconsin.
She probably voted for this. So this is what she has.
Juan's showing you right now. That's the photo of her
own signs in her own yard. And then she bragged
another post about how she was a Biden supporter, and
then how she was a Harris supporter because she supported
Harris in the last election. So it gets into all
(14:06):
of that. It's very funny. So I just don't care.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
She's a Democrat. Are you surprised. I'm not at all.
But I think it's I think it's goog.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I don't know. I just think.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
You know, people need to you have to behave a
certain way at work.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
There's a certain way that you have to behave at work.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
There are partners that help bring you the program. It
is the Florida company Celtech. Their KOs seven Gen two
shotgun that they have. It's a pump action shotgun. They
have a new version of it, the Gen two, And
with the KOs seven you have all of the original features.
Ultra lightweight just under seven pounds on loaded, compact bullpup design,
(14:45):
maneuverability in tight spaces ambidextrous downward shell ejection seven plus
one capacity as well, and you also have an MSRP
of just six thirty nine. Now the new things that
they've added five slot rail underneath. You can add grips, lights,
keep it flush and sleep with a cap if you want.
(15:07):
And it has a smoother it's a smoother pump action
for faster, cleaner cycling plus enhanced durability as well. It's
from kel Tech, Florida company made in America, and you
can learn more about the K seven Gen two at
Keltech weapons dot com. That's k E L t e
C Weapons dot com. Tell them Dana sent you, and now.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
All of the news you would probably miss.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Okay, So first up, this guy, well this is not
how this works.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And you go to a bank.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
What do you deposit in a bank? You deposit money, right,
not meth. This guy from Ohio tried to deposit meth
into the bank's drive through and their little little pneumatic
tube system thing a. According to law enforcement, forty six dude,
(16:02):
drugs and evil make you old looking. Jason Smith was
booked on drug related charges. It occurred earlier this month.
He the bank employee, called deputies to say someone just
deposited a crystal like substance kind of looks like math.
They sent a baggy up to shoot, not unlike the
guy who was in our Florida Man headline. Just yeah,
(16:27):
baggy up the shoot and they tested it on site
and they determined it was, in fact, meth amphetamine. He
apparently sent the package. How do you mess up and
send the wrong thing in the shoot? I am fascinated
by how that accident happens. Do you are you so
high that you don't know the difference between cash checks
(16:47):
and meth?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Who does that? This is so weird.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So he's in Monroe County Jail, he's in he's in
super big time travel.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So just kind of damn.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Power outages caused cell doors to open at the South
Central Correctional Center. How was that the default setting for
when the power goes out, that the.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Prison doors open.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I thought that was only like in movies, But apparently
that's a real thing. Caine, I don't get it. I
don't get it.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
The default should be closed.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, it's the South Central Correctional Center. They had a
power outage into of the housing wings and all the
doors opened. It caused all the doors to open, and
this was in Lick and Mazari Cane. They and then
shockingly some of the inmates refused to return to their
cells and caused property damage. So just feels like if
the power goes out, the door should stay closed.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I think, yeah, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
A man was accused of stalking a minor and throwing
Molotov cocktails in somebody's house.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
This is a hot mess. This was Fox to Detroit.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Let's see, na d oh gosh, he's got one of
those haircuts where they put the bowl on the head
and they just do the bangs right around the right,
around the front. He's one of those nineties haircuts, right
those want to the Vanilla IA's haircuts, That's what he's got.
Twenty five year old Alex Neumar was charged with the
molotov cocktail, possessing, manufacturing, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Last question, I've been personally not to make it about me,
but I have been criticized as being a tool of Qatar,
and I just want to say what you already know,
which has I've never taken anything from your country and
don't plan to. I am, however, tomorrow buying a placing
guitar because I am pay a Hi Tech in Doha. Yeah,
(18:34):
and I'm doing that because I like the city. I
think it's beautiful, but also to make the statement that
I'm an American and a free man and I'll be
wherever I want to be.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I mean, I think it's such a crazy flex. You know,
you're so America first, that you're just gonna buy dune
front property and doh, just to prove that you're just
so American.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I'm so American.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I'm gonna buy communist control property in China because I
can so.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I'm my own man American.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Welcome back to the program, Dana lash with you. That
was Catarlsa. I'm sorry, verbal typo Tucker Carlson in Cutter.
They had something there, I don't know, and he was
out there talking to their leader there and saying that he's,
you know, he's a free American, and because he's a
free American, he's going to show that he's a free
American by buying property in Cutter, in Doha, dune front
(19:31):
property in a country that's ninety percent populated by slave
labor because of their laws.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I don't know if you get.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You know, they have like a whole system right where
it's basically indentured servitude.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I wrote about it over at Substack.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
That's why it's very important to make sure you sign
up for that stuff, because you know, you get all
of this information over there. It's also in one of
my recent columns for the Washington Examiner or sorry, Washington Times.
I have a piece in the Washington Times that late
last week that and it gets into all of that
(20:03):
because it's I just think that's a really weird flex,
you know what I mean, that's a weird flex to
just go and I'm so American.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Look how American I am.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I'm gonna buy property and cut her in Doha, I'm
gonna buy property here. I mean, Okay, that's an interesting flex.
I mean, one day you're wrestling demons in bed and
the next day you're buying sand front property and cutter.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You know, I don't know, just curious about all of that.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
You know what else I'm curious about too, Kine, Where
does one go to church over and cut her? That's
a good question. You know, Christ is king and all,
so where do you go to church and cut her?
They actually the churches are all, they have to stay
outside of Doha.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And they can't.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Actually, I mean, the fines are pretty big if you
try to proselytize. Just got to say, you can't have
Christian symbols near Muslims. You can't do anything like that.
You can't try to convert a Muslim there. I mean,
you could be put to death and cutter if you
try that. By the way, you can't share your faith
(21:16):
or any of your faith's materials with any Muslims and Cutter,
and that includes casual discussions, and that's you could be
imprisoned for up to five years.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
By the way.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
You cannot organize anything, you cannot promote Christianity, you can't
proselytize at all because you could go to jail for
a decade. So I'm just wondering, you know, great Sis King,
where do you go to church over there?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
You also are not allowed to enter into a civil marriage.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, you can't get married over there.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
You can't even be a citizen and cutter, you can't
even you can't even get because you have to.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Be a Muslim to be a citizen and Cutter.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
So you know, I'm just like, I'm just really curious
about this how.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Just you know, I'm wondering. And I talked about this
in my piece.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
We were talking about all of the influencers that went
over there during Thanksgiving, and I wrote, hopefully if any
of them were gay, they kept it a secret because
it's gay. It's illegal to be gay over there. One
of them was gay, stating it on the balcony. I
guess maybe I had to keep that a secret so
he didn't get thrown off the balcony that he was
doing a selfie on. I'm just curious. But it's very
(22:25):
heavily restricted. In fact, they only have a few what
they call religious They call them religious complexes because they
can't even say church. They can't even say church, they
can't say like you know, they can't even say Christian complex.
It's just a religious complex, is what they call it.
And they are partitioned off way outside of Doha to
(22:45):
be away from all of the Muslim citizenry, and they
can't identify, they can't put up across they can't say anything,
and you can only be a Christian quietly inside of
the building far away from the citizenry.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
That's it, and you can't criticize any of the policies there, like,
for instance, you can't talk about how a actually the
majority population in Doha is the slave labor that they
used to build it. That's a fact. That's and if
you criticize it, you're going to be punished. That's you
(23:25):
can't do that. It's the Kafala employment system. And if
you criticize anything, like if you were to criticize the
Kafala employment system while you're over there, you're going to
be punished under Penal code Penal Code article two fifty nine.
And that's punishment for anybody who opposes questions or doubts
Islamic tenets of the way that they were in the country.
And if you criticize it online, then that's a cyber
(23:46):
that violates their cyber Crime Statute Long number fourteen past
finalized in twenty fourteen. That's online content that challenges any
of the social values or norms that they have over there.
Only Muslims can be Kataris, et cetera. And there's no
alcohol over there. They had some f one, but it's
only in uh there's like a couple of very specially
(24:09):
licensed hospitality venues of which the influencers were made sure
that they took selfies of themselves in there. So I'm just,
you know, just gonna say, so, it's just so interesting
to me. You're gonna flex so hard about being America
first by buying property like Commas. Does you know Hamas
leaders they stay in Doha just doing I guess you
(24:29):
know what Hamas leaders do.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
They started a trend. I guess they started a trend.
Get that.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
But it's I think that the criticism got to him.
I think that he's I would talk to him about it,
but he won't come on my program to discuss it
with me because I guess it's not a safe space here.
So I you know, just you know, I thought it
was interesting, But yeah, that's I don't know if that
(24:56):
does that prove that you're more American than somebody else
because you can go by property and cutter like why
wouldn't you buy more property in the United States right
if you wanted to prove how American you were. By
the way, criticizing someone's speech is not denying your americanness.
In fact, that is the most American thing that you
(25:16):
can do. If someone says something with which you disagree,
you converbally disagree that's pretty American, and I feel like
that's getting lost in all of this as well. It
seems as though he's bristling at just mere criticism, and
he thinks that it's un American to criticize him, but
not un American for the rewriting of history that he promotes,
(25:37):
the rewriting of American history, or the rewriting of the
history of Israel, the rewriting of you, not just American history,
but world history, World War two, et cetera. It's just
very you know, it's very fascinating to me. I see,
you know, I saw there was another softball interview with
that fuuint as kid. He's like in his twenties, but
(25:59):
he's yet five foot two, so when we say Nazi twink,
it's like, actually, literally's fairy sized. But there was another
somebody else at a super softball interview. Why are people
so afraid to push back because his engagement is entirely fabricated,
it's all synthetic.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
There have been two deep dives.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
First, Data Republican did a huge deep dive on the
Fluentes audience Data Republican did, and then there was another
separate deep dive into his background and his engagement and
et cetera. And it shows that it's all literally fabricated.
Every aspect of it is fabricated, and it's a lot
(26:42):
of foreign based accounts that try to amplify the stuff
that he says. There was Network Contagion Research Institute that
released a forensic breakdown over his rise over the past
year and it was driven by synthetic amplification, foreign engagement cluster,
and coordinated raid behavior and it's pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
That's and that some data republican.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
There was another one that came out showing that his
visibility is a coordinated illusion. It's not grassroots, and it
was driven by synchronized amplification networks, anonymous booster accounts, foreign
engagement farms, in a media ecosystem that mistakes manufactured noise
for genuine political momentum, and it manipulated X's algorithms for
(27:32):
him to massively outperform like all of these other individuals.
So it's I mean it really it can be absolutely
manipulated a lot of the stuff that you see on
social media. That's why certain people they'll have like major
they'll have huge audiences, but they don't ever amount to
anything in meat space. Right, like when Fuinta says he
was going to when he was campaigning against Trump in
(27:55):
twenty twenty and in this last election, and he said
that in twenty twenty, wasn't he said he was going
to go to Wisconsin or something like that and campaign
against him. Nothing that he ever does actually moves the
needle in real space because everything is all of his
engagement is mainly online. Now, that's not to say, and
I'm going to be very careful don't ignore the disaffected
(28:18):
adult males, younger adult males, who I think fall into
this self victimization cycle because where you come from doesn't
direct where you're going. And I think that is some
of it. But his amplification has been like pretty much
entirely synthetic. It's pretty And I would be curious as
to see some of Tucker Carlson's stuff as well, especially
(28:41):
when he was praising oh well, at least the trains
run on time in Russia and all of this stuff
when he was over there praising or when he sat
down with Latimer Putin and he didn't really push back
at all, and I think he was actually kind of
embarrassed by the questioning that wasn't an interview that was
you just went over there to hold a microphone for someone.
There was no genuine pushback, there was no engagement. I
(29:02):
always question these people who talk such a tough game,
but then when they sit in front of someone that
they need to ask hard questions of, they crumple. They
don't actually push back, they don't actually ask the hard questions.
Like I've seen three different every interview that I've ever
seen of the Fuinta's guy, literally no one had the
balls to actually ask hard questions and push back, not
a single one.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
And a lot of the people.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
That engage in these interviews, they really do pretend that
they're such hard asses, and not a single one of
them had the courage or the spine or the nads
to actually ask the hard questions and push back and
like show what a fruit this dude is. I mean literally,
so I don't know it's there. There's a lot of
stuff that's super super inauthentic and social media and his ascension,
(29:47):
I guess, for the lack of a better way to
say it, is one of them.
