Florida Man's antics are a staple of the Sunshine State, but a city-funded grocery store in Kansas City is struggling to stay afloat, leaving residents without access to basic necessities. Meanwhile, a conservative policy advocate shares his thoughts on parenting and childhood, sparking a heated debate about the role of government in shaping our values.

It's time for Florida Man.

Alright, so this is a big headline. It's a lot. To put on the plate, it's like when you're at the buffet and you're getting stuff on your plate, you're at the cookout and you're getting all the stuff and you got to get the potato salad, and then you got to get, I mean, it's a lot on the plate.

So here it is, ready. Florida Keys man marks birthday by doing meth. Stealing conch train. Picking up writers, fighting with cops. Happy birthday to him.

Yeah, like it's one way to celebrate your birthday, I guess. They found him at the southernmost point buoy. He told officers, oh, wow, he looks crazy. By the way, the conk train is literally like a little train. He stole it.

The little it's a little Train that's like a little scooter, like glorified golf carts all linked together and dressed up like a train, and it says conch train on it. It's one of the very famous little vehicle. He faces three criminal charges. Jonathan Patrick Winslow, he's 57 years old. And he went to the Conk Tour train depot, stole it.

And they tracked it because it's not like it can go that fast. And he was also, quote, running it with rock music playing.

So, the little train that you're watching on the that Juan's showing you on the simulcast, he was blaring music and running around. The keys with that, so that's what he had. Uh, so uh, anyway, he picked up passengers, like random people, while driving it. Like, I guess they had no idea that the guy driving it had stolen it, and uh, when he finally Was pulled when they finally detained him. They said he exhibited rabid speech and appeared excited.

Of course, I would be too if I was driving the Kong train. And then they said he was going to face charges because he stole it. And he was like, I just borrowed it, Ossiphers. Just merely borrowed it.

So Then they found a crack pipe on him. He told them it was a weed pipe, and uh, or I guess a meth pipe. I don't know. And they're like, I don't know if you, I don't think you use that to smoke weed, but okay. Uh, anyway, and uh, so he's in jail, $60,000 bond.

He has not bonded out. I told you it was a lie. We saw his first. Photo, right? Uh-huh.

He looked like he got tased. Do you see his hair? Yeah, his hair is, or he went to the magic house and put his hand on the thing. Maybe it was the breeze from the conch train that was blowing through his hair. I don't know.

Okay, speaking of uh oh boy, of visibly. Highly intoxicated man was arrested after he threw a concrete after he threw concrete pipe and a machete again another machete At a victim. Edwin Watts, 71 years old. There he is right there. He looks like a sad prospector.

Bless him. Bless his little heart. I hope he gets the help he needs. But he got charged with all kinds of stuff. He and I don't even know where to start with this.

He threw everything, literally everything but the kitchen sink, concrete, metal pipes, threw a whole machete at a dude. And this was in Marion County. They were called to a home over a physical disturbance. And they said that Edwin Watts was seated on his red ATV at the entrance to the property. He made an inappropriate hand gesture and blah, blah, blah.

Basically, the guy was drunk as a skunk, noticeably agitated, and acting aggressive. He has no prior battery convictions, but he's on In the Pokey on a slew of charges. Uh, let's see. Let's do the guy who got super drunk and uh drove into a sheriff's pond if we have time. Do we have time?

We may. Drunk Florida man. His wrong exit, he literally drove into a pond behind a sheriff's substation. It's in Homeste he's from Homestead. And he was apparently definitely under the influence, and he drove his truck into a retention pond right behind Martin County Sheriff's Office Traffic Division.

So the pond arrested him. Did you know the whole higher thread count means better sheets thing is just a myth?

So, shoppers have been asking us: if the store isn't closing, then where's all the food? A rotten smell comes through the door, and anywhere you turn, you'll see products that need to be restocked. No hot food or deli. I watch people walk in and walk out. The grocery store has received financial assistance from the city, but has been unable to keep those shelves stocked in an area that in the past has often been referred to as a food desert.

Around here, a good thing don't last too long. And it will impact a lot of people and a lot of families. The city owns the Loomwood Shopping Center, a nonprofit that operates the grocery store. What does this shirt say? I need to go back and have a freeze frame on that fella's shirt.

Juan, if you'd be so kind. The man's shirt who's from The gutta to the bada. Woohoo! What? What is that?

What is that? What does that shirt mean? From the gutter to the butter, you. What does that say at the bottom? You.

I don't know. What is that? Steve was the one that told us. Steve, what's his shirt say? Steve was like, you guys need to watch his shirt.

We ran the clip. We always discussed the clip to run, and I was like, just pay attention to the sky shirt from the gutter to the butta. From the gutta to the button. It's like started from the bottom, now we're here. You're in the gutter, now you got the butt.

Right. I kept thinking that there was going to be something. I was like, uh-oh, I think I see butt. And I just was like, man, this is going to be one of those stories where. We got it's gonna be something inappropriate.

I'm just saying, like, that's the shirt. I mean, you know, you know, they ask you in advance if you want to be on camera, you know, when they show up and do this stuff. I mean, good for him. I mean, if he made something of himself, but. You know, I'm just At least if you're gonna wear a shirt like that, don't cover the bottom.

with your hands. Because then we're going to be all doing this. Like, wait, what does this short say? What does that say? Because it almost looks inappropriate.

And you're on, like, you're on TV, man, and it's a story that's going to go. national because of what they're talking about. I really want to know what the bot. Kane, look at see who you find. Not that I care.

I don't need people good. No, it's not. It's actually lyrics from old Goody Mob from 1998, back in the late 90s. Oh, butter butter. All right, there you go.

Interesting. All right, so welcome. Back to the show. That's how, and that, by the way, was how. Oh, I mean, of course, you are, Lorraine found the shirt.

She did. She literally found it already a minute ago. She's a robot. She's like, wait, here's the shirt right here, I got it. For purchase, if you want to purchase it.

So that's what the shirt says: from the gutter to the butta. You make the choice. You make the choice. Good for him. There you go.

That's hysterical.

Alright, so. This was, what city? This is in Kansas City. Hold on, I'm wearing a shirt. Are you serious?

You're ordering the shirt right now. This was in Kansas City. Di all those store shelves We're bare. Can I get a shot of the store shelves real quick? City funded grocery store.

It's a city funded grocery store. And I have never seen, I have never seen a that's a store that's like open. I have never seen Uh I've never seen Shelves like that. That's crazy. That's Look at that.

There's nothing in the middle. There's nothing in the end caps. There's nothing. There's no fruit. There's no onions.

There's no nothing. There's nothing on the shelves. and it's a city what is it, the sun fresh. And they're saying it's in decline. Will you think it's in decline?

It's already failed. It wouldn't even l open that long, honestly.

So this sun fresh market. They're still going there, but I don't even know what you can. I don't even know what that consequence at the bottom. This is one of Mom Donnie's desires for New York.

Well, I'm getting there. Oh, sorry. I'm getting there. They have not stocked vegetables or eggs in two weeks. Empty coolers.

Uh And it they said everyone said it smells rotten when you walk in. Oh. And Apparently They say it goes through ups and downs.

So, like, within a thirty day period, like, they'll get stuff in and then it just they they don't have anything anymore and it's ugh.

Okay. That's what happens when you have a city-run grocery store. Who would have thought that would have happened? And you know what's crazy, as Kane said. This is literally what Ma'am Danny wants.

Socialized grocery store. That's what you get with it. It's like the D M V of the It's the post office of the grocery store. It's the it it's what it is. By the way are male It takes, if we send something to like Cain, if I send something from here to St.

Louis, it takes a month to get there. I know. Kind of It's crazy. One of my kids that had a birthday this spring. just got their birthday card a couple of weeks ago.

Not kidding.

So this is like the USPS of the grocery stores. Wow. They said it smells like rotting corpses in there. Oh, how would you know what that smells like? But also, ew.

No. Wow. Oh, that's so bad. This is what they're going to have in New York City. This is what they're going to have in New York City.

Well, the city runs it.

So if the city runs it, And it's entirely, you know, they don't have to be dependent upon, they don't have to ensure good customer service or anything like that because they don't have to meet a specific standard. There's no demand for that standard. Totally shocked. It's already failed. When did they get more food in?

I was trying to find that on social media, and it doesn't look like they're going to get anything. I mean, food desert. We need food desserts or maybe you just I don't know need to have An environment. That grocery stores that already operate on tiny margins can actually operate in. It's not the government's fault.

I love these people that, like, it's in downtown St. Louis. Let me just talk about downtown St. Louis, and I don't want to hear no smack from nobody. My husband Worked and he did a lot of historic renovation in St.

Louis and built a studio. He got blacklisted in his industry. by a bunch of um jealous drug addicts who ended up they were all m Marxists But um They Ended up in St. Louis, a beautiful city. Like St.

Louis is known as Brick City, meaning a beautiful architecture that German wire-cut brick, which is so valuable. And St. Louis made tons of it, exported it around the world. It's incredibly valuable. People wanted it, they want to buy it.

We lived in downtown St. Louis for a number of years because of work, homeschooled our kids. And I never understood. The disconnect that people had. They all they all bitched and moaned about not having.

Like a supermarket supermarket downtown. You remember this, Kane? Like the closest supermarket when I lived downtown in St. Louis. was I would have to go to um like uh Near the Bevo Mill area.

I'd have to go down what, I can't remember what island it is. The Schnooks. Yeah, on 9th Street, that is Schnooks there. And then the one you're talking about is another Schnooks down there. But the one, but it was a tiny, almost like wine and cheese super.

It wasn't like a full-on supermarket. It's where you would go if you were having some wine and cheese. Let's maybe make some shock hootery. And let's get some hors d'oeuvres. Let's do that.

That's the kind of store it was. There was one in Soulard that had a lot of stuff, but they've closed. And I used to go there and get some things. It was a tiny little market. But people complained: well, you know why?

Because supermarkets already operate on such small margins. St. Louis had an earnings tax, they had all kinds of taxes, all kinds of fees, crazy structures that you had to, you know. Weave yourself through in order to even operate a business in the area. And then, you know, the property taxes, everything else, they made it so inhospitable.

And I just couldn't get over the disconnect from the people that would joyously go and vote for the individuals that put up all these barriers to creating your wonderful supermarket in the middle of the city. And then they would bitch about, we can't believe these people that said they were going to do all the stupid status stuff when they were campaigning and we voted for them are doing all this stupid status stuff. It's like, I voted for the Leopards Eating Faces Party, and I can't believe that these leopards broke into my house and they ate my face in my kitchen. Like they are shocked about this. It's like, well, what did you think was going to happen?

Right, you voted for this, you created this environment. It's not a food desert, you are just a moron that votes for moronic policies and moronic status lawmakers. That's what you do. Good night.

So That's, you know, I, it, it just blows the mind with all of this. They can't, stores can't stay open. They're not there just to be, you know, be charitable. It is a business, people work there. There are people that work to bring it, all of these things to you.

The folks over at Keltech, the PR-57, it is their late, one of their newest pistol chambered in 5.7. It's a rotary barrel pistol. They've really figured out how to do the features to make it lighter than the other 5.7s on the market, easier concealability. And it's a rotary barrel. 40% lighter than the other 5.7s.

Unique top loading design replaces the traditional magazines with stripper clips. You get a slimmer carry profile. 20 plus 1 capacity. Low recoil for ease of use. Easy field strip as well.

And it uses, like, I think it's interesting how it uses the clips instead of the magazine.

So the left can actually say clips and be right for once. The MSRP is only 399. It's the PR-57 Rotary Barrel Pistol Chambered in 5.7 from Keltech, based in Florida, made in America. Learn more at Keltechweapons.com. That's K-E-L-T-E-C weapons.com.

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. This is a wild one for me. It says Gen Z job seekers.

Have their parents write their resumes and apply for gigs and bring them to interviews, according to a shocking news study. It is a report from Resume Templates, and they said that they were even shocked that 77% said they brought a parent to a job interview when they were job searching. What? What? I am f I don't get this.

Really? Does do you know anybody who's Kid? Brought a parent to a job- a job interview? No, I don't personally, but I'm also not surprised to hear this. I am stunned.

I'm like, we're bookmarking this. Wow, I'm actually stunned.

Okay. So the Mount Fuji spotting place. They're a viral spot that everybody goes to take photos and there's like a gas station right in front of it. or like a quick mark. They have barriers now low enough to allow views.

But they prevent dangerous behavior like jaywalking in the area. They said it's become a huge tourist attraction because it It's like just like the most picturesque spot. Uh, one of the best spots to get it, but there's like this quick mart. Although, a lot of people like the idea of the roof of the quick mark and the mountain over it, but they said they had to put because people were getting hit. Remember, we've been talking about this on and off for like two years.

This spot, they've been having so many problems. I had a friend that just went there and they said that it was so crazy. They were on their way somewhere else, and they were driving by this. They said it was so crazy, they just bypassed it. And they were there last month, they just bypassed it and just like went on through.

That's it, right there. And then Mount Fuji is over the top of it. But yeah, that's just wild. That's wild.

So they're putting barriers in because I don't know, people want selfies and they want to get these photos and then they end up getting run over or fall off cliffs or something. I don't know. A crew in Long Beach rescued a hiker trapped behind a waterfall for two days. He was treated for dehydration. Kane, what was he behind?

A waterfall. 46-year-old Ryan Wardell, he went into the Seven Teacups and he was going to rappel off the waterfalls in Kern County, but then two days he was gone and they deployed search and rescue and they found him stuck behind a waterfall. And he was dehydrated. And I'm like, I would have been drinking the water and the waterfall, but okay.

Alright, you know, each to their own thing. He's safe now. I just, you know, he's a little dehydrated. Canadian cities are canceling concerts of right-wing musicians, and I don't care because it's, I love my conservative Canadian friends. And I like some of your conservative lawmakers, but this is so stupid.

I don't even know who this musician is, but they canceled this guy because apparently he's a Christian. Heaven forbid. They revoked his permit. Parks Canada revoked his permit in Halifax. They said safety concerns.

Quebec City also canceled his concerts because they're a bunch of sissies. Because truth hurts people. It slappity slaps them, Kane, that's what happens. Just so mean, the truth. Government forces Air Canada flight attendants back to work and into arbitration.

Ooh, Delta and United Airlines can face lawsuits over windowless window seats. Don't be selling people no window seats and there not be no window in that window seat. You know, people get very sensitive about that. Coming up, Kristen Whiten is going to join us to help break down what does this mean, Article 5? Uh adjacency.

So there is this um article. That I saw, and I sent you guys this earlier: the headline over at New York Post: travel influencer faces backlash after he tossed his seven-year-old son off a cliff for fun. Oh, this sounds horrible, right? The headline sounds so bad. It sounds like he was at the Grand Canyon and just threw his son off a cliff.

Yeah. Garrett Gee, a former tech founder, turned adventure journalist, posted a video. And videos, viewers were equally horrified and impressed. It had 4 million views. His seven-year-old son, they were on top.

Oh, they were getting ready to jump into some water. Oh, okay.

Well, it's a good thing that the headline totally eliminated that as a possibility. It was at Lake Powell. That's the reservoir between Arizona and Utah. And they were on a rock ledge, and his son seemed a little apprehensive, but his dad had a hold of him and threw him into the water. And the son came up and fine, and then all the other kids were jumping in.

And he said, eventually baby eagle needs to leave the nest or be tossed out. And he like had this very, very ridiculously long disclaimer. Saying that this is not something I advise you try. We don't do this with all of our kids. Every kid's different.

Blah, blah, blah, because people are stupid. And I'm sorry, that's not a cliff. That is not a cliff. It's a rock. They're on a boulder jumping into some water.

And people are losing their minds. losing their ever-loving minds. They would have never made it. No, they would have never made it in the 80s. They would have never made it as latch key kids.

Oh my gosh. You wanna hear something?

Okay. Imagine it's 1989, you're in sixth grade, this might be about me, but or not. It's 1989. You're in sixth grade. And you are leaving Black River in Iron County, Missouri, and you're riding in the back of your uncle's pickup.

The uh Little the doors down, and you're literally sitting on the edge of it on windy highway. You just shook your head. Yeah, no, the ledge was down. Yo, we sat on the edge of it on windy highways. That's how we dried off after we left the river.

And we'd go back to grandma's house, right?

So we're at Cambridge, Black River, out there all day, right? Family, you're out there with your cousins. You know, people are listening to Skinner. They're grilling, you know, doing whatever. And then everybody climbs in, all the kids get in the truck.

The little ones got to get in the back towards the window, and then the older kids can sit, you know, on the end. And it took me a while before I could graduate and sit on that end, right?

Now it was like a big deal, it's like a rite of passage. And then Juan showed you the video. That's a rock, that's not a cliff. Anyway, 1989 riding on the back of the truck. Uh on these windy highways.

on these windy country roads going back to grandma's house. And that's what we did. This is nothing. He jumped off a rock into the water. We would go and jump off.

There was one thing, I think it was called Cutter's Point. This guy, the last name, Family's Cutter, and they had a big, not, it was like this, but there was a rope swing on it, and you could swing on the rope and launch yourself out into the water. We did that all the time. Why are people freaking out about this? They are losing their minds.

These people that are losing their minds over this, they would have died at how Gen X was parented. They would have died. That's not a cliff. These are the people that freak out and they call the cops if they see somebody's kid walking a block away from the house to go to the playground down the street. That's yes, Kane.

Quote-unquote cliffs you can jump from that are taller than that one. Oh, yeah, totally. Oh my gosh, people would jump off the bridge. They would jump off Kay Bridge into the river, and it was way taller than that. I yeah, the I think the outrage outrage online is It's more than exactly.

These people are ruining children. You are destroying childhood, and you're raising children that are terrified of the world. All they want to do is stay inside and talk to their little AI waifu. That's all they want to do. They just want to stay inside.

They want to talk to their. These people are happy if. All their kids just talk to AI companions, I guess. Right. So Just what did you do today?

I was talking to my little AI wafu. That looks like Misa from Death Note. That's what I was doing. It's not a cliff. That is not a cliff.

And this guy, I mean, people were losing their minds over it. And the kid could swim, by the way, really well. And all the other kids later on, like, started, you know, jumping off the cliff as well, or the cliff, jumping off the rock as well. I mean, it's a rock. These people have no idea.

What a cliff is. And I don't know. I mean It looked like fun. Right? That looked like fun to me.

Steve was like, the water's gorgeous. It's like Powell, my dude. It's so fun out there. It looks so gorgeous. Right, I've always wanted to go to Lake Powell ever since I saw what was this, this movie.

Oh my gosh. Charlie Sheen was in it. I'm sorry, guys. Bear with me. It was like Ghost Car or something.

Hang on, hang on, hang on. Sherilyn Finn was in it. It was an old movie, and I remember seeing it like one night. Uh one of the cassavettes was in it too. Uh Uh hang on.

You're talking about the wraith. The wraith. It was the Wraith.

So the Wraith was set in Arizona, and parts of it, like they were in and around Lake Havasu, and then there was like some parts of Lake Powell. And I was like, that water is beautiful. Where is that? Gorgeous out there. It's absolutely beautiful.

So that's where that is to answer Steve's question. How fun does that look? I would go and do that now. Yeah, I would too. I mean, that's like super fun.

Also, is no one paying attention to the look on the kid's face after he was tossed in the water? No, because everybody's trying to flex. Because the kid was like, oh, it's this fun. And you could see it on his face. He's like, oh my gosh, I'm just like, he got over his fear and he was like, wow, that was fun.

I'm discovering new fun now. I cannot tell you how many times I've had uncles throw me into the water. Uncles, cousins. Like, yeah, and it and get over it. Kids Do not need to be coddled.

They built. Look, what's the phrase? What's the phrase? Boats were. Boats weren't made for a harbor.

I mean, they could stay in the harbor, but I'm butchering this phrase, but you know what I mean. The harbor is safe, but that's not what boats are meant for.

So This, I, these are the people that freak out if, oh my gosh, you know, if a 12-year-old has to stay like for an hour or two, but I stayed home like all afternoon by myself when I was 12. Last keycad. That was the legal agent you could do in the state of Missouri at the time. It's just sad. This is just...

I like that it's like they don't want kids to have any fun at all anymore. And good for that dad. That dad's involved in his kid's life. That dad is helping his kid build confidence. I think that's, I thought that was a great video.
