It's time for Florida Man.
Well, we have a story here from The Villages. Mm-hmm. Always sounds like we're talking about Minecraft when I'm like, it's a villager. A villager was arrested with a stolen motorcycle and meth hidden in his anal cavity. Oh yes.
Uh Villages News says a man with a stolen motorcycle was found to have methamphetamine concealed. No. N no. Give me another word for it, Kane. In.
Prism wallet? His anal bone cover. Kai Cameron Huff.
Now, how is he 36 in the villages? He uh Began driving straight towards the deputy's patrol car heading in the opposite direction. The deputy was forced to take evasive actions and then, of course, pursued. Oh my gosh, this guy's mugshot. He is high as a kite.
During the traffic stop, deputy pursued him, pulled him over. He noticed a burnt piece of aluminum foil and a small silver spoon. obviously indicative of drug usage. And then you notice the smell of, you know, some drugs. coming from you know, this uh and he he found uh He found four grams of marijuana and he found a bunch of dime-sized baggies, and then he found a bunch of other aluminum foil and a cut plastic straw and then something that had residue of fentanyl in it.
And then Um Mm. To jail. I'm trying to really take it to Sumter County Detention Center. You know they had to do a search? That's when they discovered.
A bunch of meth that was concealed. First off, wouldn't you be afraid that, oh man, look at it, he's high as a kite. Would you be afraid? If you're a normal, not druggy person, yes, you would definitely be afraid. Like, what if.
Something happened and you like absorbed that, you would die. That would be an overdose of an amount from which you could never come back. You're using sanity to explain insanity. Apparently, I don't know. Oh my gosh.
So, yeah, he's totally in jail. I got to share this story with you. A um Woman attacked a driver that hit and killed a chicken that was crossing a road. Oh, she didn't know. No, no, no.
It's really good. She so this lady stops to let the chicken cross the road and another Florida woman tried to speed around her and apparently ran it over. And so this Florida woman got bear spray and attacked her. I'm not against it. I really don't understand what the crime is here, Kane.
A woman stopped at an intersection. It's Key West, local Channel 12, WKRC. And according to the arrest report, 38-year-old Cynthia Sosa stopped at the intersection to let a chicken cross the road. A driver behind her began honking and then sped around her and ran over the chicken. She pursued the driver.
caught the driver. blocked the road in front of the victim's vehicle, got out, tried to open the door. and then pulled out her bear mace and sprayed the lady directly in the face. Then she fled the scene, but she was taken into custody later. She's got two counts of aggravated battery and one count of burglar with assault or battery.
What does this other broad get? Right? Can I just be honest? This is why I couldn't be a police officer. I'd be like, I don't see a crime here.
Right. What? I think it is a crime to mace somebody. She ran over that chicken. That's some pretty good thing.
That woman could have. What if she would have hit? What if that woman was stopping because she was letting a woman in a wheelchair cross the road?
Well, that's different. No, it's not. This lady had no, the lady behind her had no idea. I think there's no idea. She was just gunning around her because she was being a doucher, ran over the chicken.
Slight difference between an old lady in a wheelchair and a chicken. How would she know? She was behind the lady's car, she couldn't see. I agree she was reckless. I think if you're reckless and stupid, you might get hit with bear spray.
But then, were they going to ticket the chicken for jaywalking? No, I mean it's dead because though she reigned it over. I just, if I was a police officer called to this, I'd be like, I don't see a crime. Don't make false calls to the police. And I'd leave.
I'd be for that. I'd be for that. I know that we have police officers listening who are going, Dana. With that bear that bear mace though. My God.
What else would you want? That's Harsh for a human being. It's harsh for bears.
Well, what if that's all she had? It's harsh for bears.
Bears don't care. All right, we, uh, I know. I have a couple more, but I'm fascinated with that story. I'd still literally how I would be like, I don't see a prim here. Let's be honest, Big Pharma profited off of your fear while silencing your voice.

We harmonized on Seven Bridges Road. What a voice! I cried. But before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night.
Next year, will be our last season. The network will be ending the late show in May. And Yeah, I share your feelings. Not just the end of our show, but it's the end of the late show on CBS. I'm not being replaced.
This is all just going away. Uh-huh. Yay! Golly.
So everyone, so Stephen Colbert announced last night that Uh as you heard, he's Not going to be this next season, is his last season, right? He's not going to be coming back. He's not going to be doing his Colbert show, which I've never watched. He literally took. The Dave Letterman time slot.
and made it a giant Yeah, he ruined it. He trashed it. He just completely destroyed it. Although, Letterman, you know. NBC Letterman was better than CBS Letterman, let's be honest.
It it was. Let's see now.
So it wasn't yeah. But anyway, he ruined it. He completely ruined whatever was left of it. And Just by being such a A bitter B. I mean, he wasn't funny.
He's not funny. That was even not funny. I have not. The only time I ever saw him uh when he was funny was like way back when he was first getting started on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. And that was before he became obsessed with being a leftist.
And he was funny then and he was more lighthearted and Then that light-heartedness went away. And he became like a an empty husk, an empty, desiccated husk. of what he was, of a person. And he was so bitter. And filled with rage all the time.
He just, it looks like there's just like a river of rage that's just right underneath the surface. And he it was just he became obsessed. And he didn't just become obsessed with being leftist, he became obsessed with being nasty about it, and he mistakenly assumed that. The more ignorant Or the the the more uh rude one is about a political issue, the funnier it is, that that makes it funny, and that that somehow was a substitute for clever humor. As you know, it is not.
And he now finds that out. Hey. I keep seeing that that people say that he was canceled. And he wasn't canceled, and we'll talk about that in a minute. But people aren't attracted to Audio Sound by 8, stuff like this.
This is Flashback Colbert. This is just not attractive. Listen. They're not whole countries. For one, Donald Trump isn't their president.
He just insulted everyone in his audience and they clacked like seals. They clap like seals or this audio soundbite nine Flashback again, flashback Colbert. This is all his show is anymore. It would be It would be my honor to say it to your face. Just walk a little closer to your TV screen, please.
Just a little closer to your TV screen. Let me just get her up here and go. You, Donald Trump. Or a horrible, horrible human being. This is not funny.
That is not funny at all whatsoever. People are just applauding the fact that he is confirming their bias. They're not applauding him because he's clever. They're not applauding him because anything that he said is funny. They're just applauding him because he thinks like they do.
That's why they're rewarding him. And the way that the left puts it, they're acting like this is that Colbert is being taken off air because he dared to criticize the president. This is actually what Brian Stelter was saying via CNN last night, audio somebody 10. This is what he's arguing. Right, from the optics standpoint, the timing could not be worse for CBS.
Colbert is such an outspoken Trump critic. He's just back from vacation, and as he showed there on Monday on his first night back from vacation, he's also a thorn in his parent company's side.
So this looks to a lot of Colbert's fans like another form of capitulation by CBS to the President of the United States. Yeah, but it wasn't. And of course, this is after, you know, the CBS and ABC Trump settlements. Uh because the um CBS 60 minutes, remember they had to pay 16 million. And they were essentially helping to finance the future library and pay his legal fees.
That was part of his lawsuit settlement. Because remember, going back. All the way to the election, you had this Kamala Harris interview that they violated federal election law. Their own laws that they came up with, they violated and they get in trouble with. Paramount was which owned CBS.
They were the ones at $16 million to settle that 60 minutes lawsuit. And I think that was what announced it the first of the year.
So. The Argument that the left is trying to make is that Because of that, Paramount, which owns CBS, is trying to make sure that nobody criticizes Trump, and so that's why Colbert was pulled. But it wasn't. As fortune points out, Colbert was canceled days after he went after his bosses. over the Trump settlement.
And this is Uh, this was just actually this, so this was this morning announcing that CBS was canceling the late show, blah blah blah blah, and then they get into how. He had gone on uh publicly to criticize Paramount to criticize their settling with Paramount. to criticize all of that. And I mean, he went after it. criticism.
He told his audience that Well, the audience that was watching him at the time, he was, he uh Was criticizing. He was talking to Adam Shiv. He was criticizing him, criticizing Paramount, criticizing the settlement. And You can't do that. Can I just say that you can't in any profession?
Go after your bosses. Right? Can you? I want you in your workplace. Can you go and trash your boss's moves?
without any penalty. If you are, you know, if you work in a design firm, can you criticize your bosses? For their decisions or for company moves publicly? Can you do that anywhere else? I mean, I I don't know why people are saying that this is cancellation.
And the left is saying, oh my gosh, the right canceled. Colbert. Even some people on the right are saying, yes, Colbert was canceled. And He wasn't cancelled. That's like such a I talked about this on on X this morning.
He wasn't canceled You can't that's kind of you can't you can't criticize your bosses like that. He criticized them publicly. That's insubordination. We are All, all of us, we are all eligible to meet the same penalty. If I went out and I started trashing Radio America, guess what?
There's a penalty for that. Every employment agreement that I have ever had, and you can't tell me that Colbert does not have an employment agreement. Every employment agreement that I've ever had. A condition of continued employment is that you don't go and trash. your bosses you don't go and trash your company that's boilerplate in any employment agreement.
He goes out. And he's trashing his bosses.
Now, Paramount didn't come out and say this is explicitly why. But This comes literally days after he was doing this.
Furthermore, I don't know if you've seen his ratings lately. His ratings are horrific. His show was performing so horribly, and his ratings had declined so badly. That there was just no way to justify the ad rates for keeping him in his day part. There wasn't.
There was no there's no reason why he needed he I mean he It's not canceling to remove poorly performing talent. That's business. And by the way, all of this information is public. You know what I was thinking? About like the the ho the realm of tonight shows.
Whether it's, you know like Jay Leno or Jenny Carson or whatever. I really feel like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel particularly killed it. They killed the eve the late night shows. They killed them. Jimmy Fallon started coming close.
Remember when they started getting a little political back in like 2012 and then they pulled it back, or 2013, they pulled it back. Um And then he kind of stayed true to it's supposed to be lighthearted. It's supposed to be fun. People are getting ready to go to bed. They don't want to have like a debate over a hateful debate over serious issues, right?
So Fallon, I think, I feel like he kind of kept to that form, but I don't think Craig Ferguson did. And I'm sorry, I'm not interested in a person who is not a citizen of this country. uh who comes over to the United States and starts like waxing political about our system. You know? And it's kind of hard to take, you know.
He is a very thick brogue to hear him criticize different aspects of the political system in these United States. You know what I mean? It's like, come on. But um Kimmel and Colbert were so hateful and have been so hateful. Nobody wants to tune in anymore.
It's like having an uncle that always complains and is on the other side of you politically, always complains, is always hateful, is always wanting to debate at the most inappropriate times. It's like that, they bring that energy to this. But the right needs to stop saying that the guy was canceled. Stop it. This is accountability.
Let the left whine about it. That's not what cancellation is. He wasn't canceled because he went afoul of society. He was fired because he Criticized his bosses, and he was doing a bad job, and his show was performing poorly. That is not cancellation.
That is accountability. There is a major difference. Let's not confuse the two just for the sake of using an a misapplied buzzword. But I don't know who goes in that spot. I don't know if you can, I mean, is it a generational thing?
Like late night television. My grandparents loved it. They loved late nights. They would watch Johnny Carson. The tonight show.
Yeah, the tonight show. And then Jay Leno took over. When did he take over in the 80s sometime? I don't know. I just, I don't.
I only remembered. Kind of Johnny Carson. I remember Jay Leno back when his hair was mostly dark. I remember Jay Leno.
Okay. I don't think Gen X really watched. Late night T V, and I definitely don't think that Gen Z does. I think Gen X. may have watched it just because, you know, when I'm up late.
Didn't want the parents knowing. I'd watch that show, you know what I mean? As a kid. But that's been an institution for American television since like the fifties or sixties. Like a water cooler thing.
Yeah, it's just a funny, nice little time slot for everyone to settle their lives down before they go to bed. Yeah. And and by water cooler moment, I mean there were certain shows that Everybody, no matter where they were politically, would watch. And I had always said I think Game of Thrones was the last project. program that was like that.
Where everybody would watch it and then they would all talk about it, regardless of political affiliation, belief, or whatever, the next day. It was like one of the things that everybody actually could talk about. You know, nicely. A water cooler topic. Like you go to the water cooler at work, and you know, that comes up and you talk, you know, it's a.
stereotype, it's still a it's stereotype for a reason. Before everybody started siloing themselves off with conservative media and progressive media and conservative networks and progressive networks and conservative newsletters and progressive networks, it's one of those things that everybody could access, everyone did, and then they could all talk about it. It was a unifying thing. It was like one of the threads that still kind of kept everything together. And these guys killed it.
They killed it. And they also didn't like push things for virality the way Fallon did. Fallon did like little cutie segments with different people, with different guests, and they knew how to cut those up and put them out digitally. And so his show grew. Whereas these guys just thought they could sit behind their desk and bitch and moan about Trump and Republicans 24-7, and that was going to be enough to satiate the audience or to get new viewers.
And it clearly wasn't. Keltech, the PR-57, it's one of the latest from Keltech. It's the rotary barrel pistol, the PR-57 chambered N5-7, 40% lighter than the competition and works great for concealed carry. The PR-57. They were able to make it lighter and thinner in a number of different ways.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today? It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do.
I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. Um, I think I saw a billboard of yours recently that said uh twenty billion one. 20 billion is an insane number.
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows.
So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome.
So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. That's pound529 from your cell phone. We are always open.
Our call center is always waiting to take your call. 24-7-365. Wow. Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show.
Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. Oh my gosh.
Okay, there's a reason why you're not supposed to wear jewelry when you get an MRI. A man was critically injured because he wore a neck chain into an MRI machine. How did someone let him in the MRI machine with the neck chain on? And he got sucked into it. A scan was in progress.
And uh that's what happened. They had to call 911. And it was the Nassau Open MRI. The guy was wearing a large metallic chain around his neck, and it drew him right into the machine. And the police said resulted in a medical episode.
No other details were immediately provided. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. And that's it. Imagine getting yanked around by your chain, but then it's an MRI gigantic magnet. Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh, this is like... Mmm, that's terrifying. A solar-powered Aircraft. Flew for a 236-foot Sky Dweller flew for 90 days without stopping. Pretty impressive.
Let's see, flight cancellations are surging this summer. A number of airports have been hardest hit. In fact, oh goodness. Boston to Atlanta. Flight Aware said that there have been a number of cancellations.
There's also an 18% drop compared to summer last year, but the number of canceled flights has been higher by about 1,000 flights.
So that's pretty significant. Let's see an advocacy group. CEO claims he was offered $20 million to recruit protesters for anti-Trump demonstrations. Anybody surprised by any of this? I'm not.
Yeah. He admits rejecting the offer because demonstrations would make us all look bad. They had 15. Why does this guy look like an AI creation? That guy looks like an AI creation.
The guy doing the interview. Uh they said that The Good Trouble Lives On, which is a group that talks about nonviolent protests. Apparently, they were one of the ones that are implicated in this. Sure, the media is not really going to pay attention to that, though, you know, because they're too busy talking about this fake letter. And.
Asheville police arrested a woman. This is sad. She was caught stealing items. from Hurricane Helene. Victims, this is like how low are you?
They were church, they were local church items that were donated for Hurricane Hillene victims, and she was apparently caught stealing. She broke into this OT church overnight and apparently. Was able, she's 42 years old. Ellen Hickman was able to steal a whole bunch of stuff. That's sad.
It's incredibly sad. That's one of the things that I think a lot of times boys need is. Not just exposure to one guy. One dad. One dad.
No matter how good the dad is. One dad is. He can't be everything. He can't be everything. And that boy may need somebody to give the boy some perspective on the dad.
One of the most valuable things I learned as a Guy? was I had a Gay Professor In college. At a time when Openly gay folks still weren't at money. Who became one of my favorite professors and was a great guy and would call me out when I started saying stuff that. was ignorant.
You need that to show. Empathy and kindness, and by the way, you need that person in your friend group so that if you then have a boy who is gay or non-binary or what have you, they have somebody that they can go, okay, I'm not alone in this, yeah, right?
So, so. Why are you gay?
So Barack Obama says young boys need a gay dudes. in their lives. And that interview was that hi his wife's podcast? That he was on? I think so.
Everybody's doing a podcast. Kill me. It's like everyone, I mean, the world's going to be full of podcasts and no listeners. Welcome to the show, our radio broadcast. You can watch the radio broadcast on Genol347 DirecTV.
You can also find the chat at Rumble X. Facebook, YouTube, all that good stuff. Uh so um What? Yeah. Did I just hear?
What did I just hear? He says that well, they need You know, 'cause having a dad isn't enough. I think having a mom and a dad is like enough. I mean, that's. you know.
That's completely. Enough. You don't need anything else from that. It was a.
So Michelle Obama and her is it her twin brother? It it's like her bald. Yeah, I think so. I've never seen two siblings look more alike than Michelle and Craig Robinson. Michelle O'Bon and Craig Robinson, her brother.
I have never seen two siblings look more alike in my ever-loving life. Did you Google it? And? Yeah. It does look like Mike.
Michelle.
So The her podcast is called Emo. IMO. In my opinion, safer. Super Super um Original. But they had an hour long discussion.
about how boys need gay dudes to provide perspective. And then he talked about the the gay guy that had uh influence on him when he was at accidental college. Um just saying, just saying. Uh, I don't know. It was didn't he also talk about having a gay liaison when he was in college?
I think so. I'm just like, I just remember there was so much stuff that was happening, like, so many things that were flying around at the time. This is not going anywhere well. You know what I mean? It's Friday.
Stop it. All of you need Jesus. He thinks that gay men help boys develop emotional awareness. What is emotional awareness? I hate these stupid buzzwordy phrases.
I'm just like, oh wait, it sounds like like the Kylie Jenner thing. You know, it's me and my friends. We're just like realizing things. We're just like realizing emotions, you know, we're like aware of them. What does that even mean?
Our society is full of just stupid buzzword muh. All of it. Yeah, they need to develop emotional awareness and empathy and a broader perspective. That's what they need. I don't know.
They just need a mom and a dad, and to stop doing social experiments on them, let them be kids. You know. You know, Malik Obama, Barack Obama's brother, said that he was definitely gay in July 2023. He posted it on X. Why are you gay?
He said he was absolutely, definitely gay. I'm just saying. Mirs is brother. I don't know. Maybe Instead of saying specifically a gay dude, Why can't you just have like a man that understand like a compassionate male figure.
And that could be anybody, not necessarily a gay dude. You know, being gay is not synonymous with being compassionate. There are a lot of absolute blank holes out there that are gay dudes. Marxist gay dudes are the worst. Right?
And then there are some. that lean conservative and they're not like that. But What it's not synonymous with being gay is not synonymous with being compassionate. And I feel like for someone who brags about how educated he is, that's a nuance that. He would have been aware of before he decided to talk about it mistakenly for an hour on his wife's podcast.
Okay. It's just so weird. This whole conversation is so weird. They just need, basically, it all boils down to Barack Obama going, well, boys just need nice people in their lives. That's it.
You need to have a male and a female. That's pretty much it. I think God had it pretty much in order when He was like, We're going to give you a mom and a dad. That's pretty much how it's covered. There you go.
I don't know, a lot of people think Obama's gay. I mean, he had kids with me. Unless I see evidence to the contrary, and I'm not really all that interested in it, it's not going to make him a better president if he is or isn't. It's not going to make, I mean, you can't get pretty, you cannot get any worse than what he was as a president.
So you're like, well, and he was gay. Like, well, he was already a horrible president. He ruined health care. They took health care, ripped the face off of it, defecated in the skull, put the face back on and sent it out to the world. That's what they did with Obamacare.
That's what Obamacare is. Did you know that? Dana, why do you speak in such Terms. I guess I didn't have a game out of my life. I don't know.
I mean, you see how goofy this is? This is so goofy. It's um Also, sounds like you need a babysitter in order to raise your child the way that the leftists want you to raise your child. It's nanny statism. And I just also Have a major problem with anyone.
If you have a problem with your family, I always think you find the solution within your family. You don't go outside of it. Like if you're a kid and you need, you know, parental help. You know, or you you need, you know, you you don't go and seek strange gay men for influence. That sounds like it's going to start off badly, right?
It's like, oh, we've got to get this young boy some influence in his life. We need to find a nice gay man. Let's go find him a nice game Andy, get him some You know. Steve, you're not doing this to me right now. No, you're not.
What were we? I recommend against it. Do you? I do recommend against it, but I just want to make that public. I'm just going to state, I'm not going to say it.
No, I'm not going to talk about it. It has to do Steve, what did you say on break? Where did this go?
Well, we said, everybody needs a gay man in their life. And then I said, what kind of gay man? There's more than one kind. Yeah. And Steve was throwing up Twink and then Bear and I have different directions.
Yeah, I have a very interesting story on how I learned what a bear was that's not an animal in the woods. And it is, it's like a burbs, like Tom Hanks and the burbs. It's kind of like that. It's like basically in that vein. It really is.
And I'm the Bruce Stern character. It was pretty much just like that. Yeah. Okay. They're goddamn brownies.
It came with the frame. I don't really want to tell the story because there's certain things you just don't know if you want to risk virality with it. You know, it's one of those situations. Friday and everything. Are you encouraging me?
Should I wait till the third hour? No, I'm saying I know it's Friday and everything. Don't get tempted.
Okay. If you're completely on that side of the fence.
Well, Steve brought it up and he literally said in Slack: explain your bear twink story.
So there's my story. I explained it. By yourself. That is a story. Huh?
Why are you outing me live on air? And Juan just said, I am today years old. I don't think I've fully learned what it is. The bear? Yeah.
That's like the gay dudes that. Wear plaid. And they're big. I see. They're like more of the um lumberjacky.
Yeah, like uh like if Paul Bunyan was gay. Oh That would be a bear. And you could y you could tell me, Dana, I think that the stereotype is applicable to Like the hyper-masculine like 80s, which I don't think like being a lumberjack is hyper-masculine. It's just you're just a dude. But I do think that there's like a uniform with it.
Oh, I know there's a uniform with it because there are literal patches that go with it. And I really don't want to explain how I learned that. It's a one of the craziest stories ever. It beats the time that I got literally into a slat fight with the chimpanzee.
Okay. And uh the time that I got into a fight with goats. I mean, so all animals that I fought, I mean. Anyway, so that's it. We're just gonna leave that on the table.
There you go. So, moving on. If I'm a listener, I'm feeling really cheated right now. Do not do this. Yeah.
Do not. It is, you can, once the story is out there, it never goes back. I didn't do anything wrong. I was just.
Sometimes you're really, you're like, am I innocent or naive? You know, like, have you ever been in a position where you're like, am I just that innocent or am I just super naive? And you just. It's possible to be both. It's possible.
Sounds like a Lannis Morissette lyric. Oh my gosh.
Where she thought mistakenly that something was ironic and it was just a bad coincidence. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
