It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man. That's right. It is time for Florida Man on the Dana Show, D Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and X on Twitter to stay connected to everything going on for her and the very fancy, very powerful show that this is.
Also, Radio Craig Z, if you want to be nice enough to follow me and get me over 500 people on X on Twitter, that would not be bad. I need to do more there. All right, let's move on. Florida Man, I have several of them. First, a Florida man was arrested after assaulting a woman who had refused to let him smell her feet.
This is a real thing.
Now, what's amazing about this story, beyond the creepy, horrible parts of it, is the woman. She had a guy come up to her and be like, hey, can I smell your feet? She said no. She acted like this guy was a total creep, which he was. He proceeded to get in an SUV and hit her, and she popped up.
She has minor scrapes and bruises, and even did an interview talking about what happened and how it happened. This woman is amazing. She's like, yeah, fine. He hit me with the car and whatever. Screw that guy.
I'll track him down and I will kill him. I feel like she's a Liam Neeson type from Taken. She's about to find him and all of his family and make them regret the day he tried to offer with an SUV. Again, incredible. Here she is.
We had met up because I was going to sell him my sneakers. He just wanted to sniff my feet and I didn't feel comfortable with that. I mean, you could have my sneakers all you want. I mean, I don't care. I'm not wearing them.
You know, they're just stinky old sneakers. But people like weird things. and I met him down in the parking garage. He did a three-point turn and Actually, hit me with a car, ran me over. I've met a lot of people who have foot fetishes.
Nobody has ever done anything to this caliber. Yeah, nobody's ever tried to hit her with a car before. It's weird that she's also like, yeah, no, my normal thing that I'm doing is just trying to sell a guy my shoes. I just give him my sneakers that he seems to want. And I feel like she's made these kind of deals in back alleys before.
She's met a lot of people who have foot fetishes, obviously, and nobody has ever done anything of this caliber. It's a unique quote to go down with this woman. But a Florida woman who popped up after getting hit by a car while trying to sell her shoes to a creepster actually happened probably the way you might have assumed. This is why you probably shouldn't set up a deal to sell your shoes to anybody. Anyway, other things out there, other Florida men.
A Florida man abandoned an 11-year-old dog on the side of the road of a remote road, uniquely horrible. Story here. Pieces of crap. That leave this guy got arrested for it too, which is awesome. People who leave dogs and don't care about dogs and how much dogs love us as people are people that I'm fine with throwing the complete book at in every way you can.
Punish them as much as humanly possible. But this is crazy. Investigators said Sean Anthony Miller, 28, drove to Indiatown and left Coco on the side of the road before driving away. The Martin County Sheriff's Office, which assisted the West Palm Beach office, identified and arrested Miller, charging him with animal abandonment, which is illegal. That's the problem.
You can't just do that, and the dog looks. Sad in the photo, which makes me even angrier because someone hopefully adopts and takes care of this dog, 11-year-old, that was just left on the side of the road. Finally, one last story. A Florida man was accused of getting lost in a marsh in heavy rain. Not accused.
He did that. And then he had to get rescued by people. The Florida man probably cost a bunch of people a bunch of money. But Flagler County Sheriff's Office said a man called 911 on the night of August 28th to report that he had gotten lost. In the Princess Place Preserves.
Which you probably should never go to a place called the Princess Place Preserves, a 1,500-acre nature preserve known for its many hiking trails and extensive salt marshes. It was raining heavily. The man reported he was ankle-deep in water and he didn't know where he was. Communications specialists decided to help. Coordinate the rescue of this dude, who is obviously very thrilled that they're willing to go save stupid people that do stupid things.
But maybe next time, don't wander to a marsh alone by yourself and think, ah, I can figure out how to get out of this thing. And that's probably a better move. Just stay at the beach, man. Flagler's got a great beat. Keltech, the PR-57, it is a rotary barrel pistol, chambered in 5.7, 40% lighter than the competition if you're looking for something for concealed carry.

Progressive Catalan Insurance Company and affiliates and other insurers not available in all sketches situations. Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reed is going full conspiracy theorist, baby. She's getting crazy, crazier and crazier, I should say.
She was already insane, and some of the things she's claiming to be true. Her latest discussion is about how Trump was not shot. which is something a lot of the left has said.
Now here's what's amazing to me. The left or people who vote Democratically pretend that they are immune uh to conspiracy theory. They pretend as though conspiracy theory is something the right solely dabbles in. It's the reason that the right is so brainwashed by Trump or anyone else, is all these things that they think are happening in the world that definitely aren't. like election fraud, even when in Milwaukee you have another person caught redhanded via election fraud.
That never happens, but apparently happens a lot. But the left pretends they don't believe and they don't trade in these same conspiratorial thoughts. And then they put out stuff like this, and a whole lot of people seem to believe it on that side: that Trump was not shot at all, which is insane. Here we go. He's got these magical doctors who claim that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew bad.
A duplo bandage on one minute, no bandage the next. We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination. He was supposedly shot. We have nothing. We've got nothing.
Where are the investigative records? One day he slapped his maxi pad on his ear. The next day, the ear is totally fine. It's fine. And we, and I remember being in mainstream media, where we both used to work, saying, Isn't it odd that we've never asked for his medical records?
And I got in trouble for that. By the way, Katie Fang is the name of the other voice that you're hearing in there. I love that they both say that they're no longer in mainstream media because you got to be uniquely terrible for people like MSNBC or MSNOW to fire you. But I think what's crazy about this is like this is Full-on conspiracy craziness. We never demanded the medical records of what happened with Trump's ear.
How dare we not do more of this? Um this is this is crazy. This is insane. And who would be complicit in pretending as though Trump was shot when he wasn't shot would be through the roof. It'd be all the mainstream media outlets that hate the guy.
They would have to be like, okay, yeah, we're going to report on this thing that we know is not true. Why is it?
So difficult for the brains of some people to accept something when they hate someone so much. I don't get that. It's a desire to reject the truth at all costs. I think that ability. To push us into our political sides of the aisle, to polarize us even more, is the thing most counted on by the people in politics who need you to be insane and crazy in order to reject any narrative that comes out of the side of the aisle that you claim you're not on.
Joy Reid going deep in the rabbit hole as to President Trump was not almost killed by an assassin, and that he luckily turned his head at the last minute and had his ear hurt and damaged. Like, oh, that's insane to me. How significant of an impact the bullet made on his body and his body's ability to heal from that is irrelevant to me. I don't care. I don't care if it barely grazed his ear.
Not that that's what people say, although mostly that is what people say. And he could fully recover from that relatively quickly. I care about the fact that a gunman was able to take a shot that could have killed him. if he hadn't turned his head. That part matters to me.
The part that's insane is the left seems upset that it wasn't a more harmful hit. That he wasn't more harmed or potentially even killed by that shot, which is, I think, the part that they're not saying out loud, but in the back of their brain. That if Trump was almost assassinated, their problem is the word almost, that they would prefer an actual assassination to harmed and then influentially, sort of miraculously standing up and putting his hand in the air and saying fight, fight, fight, in a way that's truly iconic and American. I remember even Mark Zuckerberg came out saying how he thought that was uniquely inspiring to watch someone almost get killed and immediately react. The way that Trump did, there's something fascinating about that.
Again, and so the left just can't handle it. I can give credit when credit is due to the other side of the aisle. I promise you I can, and I've done it before. Dana's actually great at it too. You can give credit two moments or attack.
Things that you disagree with on your own side of the political aisle because it gets you out of the stupid, warped cone of, I don't know. Polar politics, polarizing politics that so many desire you to be in. Um People should do the mental exercise. of digesting a lot of the news media on the other side of the political aisle. listening to what they're saying and how they're saying it.
Mostly because that exercise helps you to understand the argument and also helps you to understand at times if there's something that is uniquely true and not being highlighted as much by the side of the aisle that you might be on. A whole lot of Democrats should be listening to this show every single day. And actually, I bet they are because of the size of the audience of this show. But they should be because occasionally we're going to tell you things, Dana's going to tell you things that your side of the aisle doesn't even want to talk about. They refuse to talk about and they're terrified to talk about because they know it might actually influence you to not see Republicans and Trump specifically as a horrible enemy.
Even what he said and I played it yesterday. about why he wants the end of the Ukraine-um um Russia conflict. That he just wants to save lives and stop people from dying. It's a uniquely presidential way to respond to a question about that. He's not saying that Putin is the devil the way that Biden did, not that Putin's a good guy, of course not, but he is just saying more diplomatically, I'd like to see the end and I'm trying to work with both sides, communicate with both sides, not alienate either side in this relationship.
In order to get us to a place of peace, that's not played in media anywhere because it goes, it flies in the face of the person they want you to think. Trump is all the time. All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show.

It's time for Dana's Quick Five.
That's right. It's time for a quick five on the Dana Show. D Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X on Twitter at Radio Craig C. If you want to follow my tweets about the Yankees, but I am in for her for this week. All right, a few crazy things out there.
First, a gold price hit a record high. Investors are looking for a sweet, delicious, safe haven from all the craziness that we might see, especially with the discussions about tariffs, their legality, refunding them. All kinds of things are out there as far as discussion goes.
So people are investing in gold, baby, which is something people do. All the time, and it's usually a good idea, especially a good idea during volatile times, which we might be blazing toward. China is set to unveil the world's most powerful laser defense system. This would be in front of Vladimir Putin and Russia. Uh the United States and Trump have stood uh very uh strongly.
Even when the mainstream media people tell you he doesn't do this by accusing people like North Korea, China, Russia, whoever of conspiring against the United States, something he put up on social media. This feels like a a Aspect of that, a whole discussion. That whole thing is These countries seem very proud of themselves. India at times seems too to be closer in these relationships than you want them to be. But it is interesting that China will unveil.
a very unique laser defense system in front of Vladimir Putin. It seems to be done on purpose, of course. Vaping may be causing irreversible harm to children's health. A doctor say It feels identical to the evolution of cigarettes. Like, truly, vaping feels.
somehow crazily the same. Aspects of the dangers of vaping were obvious going in because of everything that happened with cigarettes. Whether you smoke or not, not judging, just saying. Um so I think it's interesting that so many people, young people, thought, hey, vaping way safer. And it seems to be more and more demonstrated how utterly inaccurate that statement is.
But there are more pieces of information coming out, especially if you're younger. This is actually also true of pot smoking. If you're younger and you start smoking pot, the damage to your brain is tremendously more significant. Than if you get older, that's one of the big reasons that you should not ever be even remotely cool with your kids smoking. But I digress.
That is a thing that's out there that does seem to be backed up by a whole lot of data. Three people were arrested after $1,000 worth of stolen meat was found in a car. That sounds less than sanitary. Is a comment that one of the people on this team sent to me, along with this story, which is hilarious by Radio Kane. But three people were arrested.
$1,000 worth of meat was found, all pre-packaged, all individually wrapped. I'm not sure if it was cold or not, but this is a unique, crazy story. The funniest part to me is that I don't think this is out of Florida, which was disappointing. This feels like the kind of story that would definitely be a Florida story, but it's not. Um One other aspect of it, too, I should mention, and this is something I thought immediately when I saw it, I would love to have been driving this car.
I'm not having the stolen stuff, but it looks like it's a whole lot of delicious steak. Again, not sure if it's still good. Not sure if any of this is still currently delicious. But just driving around in a $1,000 meat car is something that I find uniquely fun as an idea. Just having a whole bunch of steak and pulling up at some sort of grill, some sort of cookout, and being able to provide.
Delicious food. I don't know that that's what they were doing. I feel like something else horrible was happening. I think this actually happened in the UK, by the way, which for some reason amuses me even more. And then finally, one last story for our quick five.
Uh the Bay Area City has a major uh geese Poop. Problem? A Bay Area City, I should say, and they're gonna spend $400,000. on doing this. Um Canadian geese are wreaking havoc all throughout San Francisco.
And so it's gonna cost almost half a million bucks. to try to get that under control. This feels like part of the reason that California has so many terrible problems. Uh mostly because I think that I and a few of my friends could deal with this geese poop problem. For way less than 400 grand.
We can get it done for you guys if California wants to hire us. I know a few people. I'll bring them with me from Texas. It'll be over in a weekend. We'll have no problem with it, and we'll take like 200 grand.
That sounds about right for us. But I do love this. I love the fact that this is a thing that they're talking about spending this kind of money on, because it also demonstrates to you how profoundly wasted money gets. When government gets its mitts on it, you all know that. I know that.
We see it every single day. but spending half a million to deal with uh a goose poop. Has gotta be at the top end of any sort of list. This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in.
Of course, I will continue to talk about the story that is intentionally big today. Meaning, it deserves to be big, but also media is overly focused on it. That would be the latest in the Epstein story. The accusers coming forward, President Trump's reaction to it. I promise I'll get to that.
However, I'm uniquely amused by something else that's out there. Our representative Hank Johnson tried to go after Nigel Farage. in a pretty hilarious way and definitely didn't have it work out for him. As the politician from the UK was speaking in front of members of our political system, this is uniquely hilarious to me, some of this back and forth. I love even the way that it starts with the whole, why were you in Wisconsin?
I think you might kind of know why I was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, back and forth.
So here we go. And actually, you know what, I'll just call this all a palate cleanser for more of the crazy news stuff that's out there because this is just more fun to listen to than that stuff. Welcome to the United States of America. This isn't your first time here, correct? Corax, you were here in 2024 in Milwaukee, weren't you?
I've been coming here since 1982 on a very regular basis. I work for American Company. What purpose were you coming to Milwaukee for? Why did you come to Milwaukee? I've been in Milwaukee many times.
I think that in 2024 was the convention, the Republican Convention. I think that's right. I think you're right. The Trump Convention. I think you're right.
Very good. Where Trump was coronated.
Well, he won didn't say. I mean, he had already won. We already knew who had won. It's copious. And it was his coronation and you attended.
This is already so stupid that the politician is trying to be like, we caught you. You were here. And you are from the UK. And we think this is a conspiracy or some sort of important thing somehow. And he's like, I come here all the time.
I'm not hiding any of this. This is weird that you're acting like this is some big, giant story. And you also Attended uh Trump rallies, correct? I've attended lots of Trump rallies. Make America Great Again rallies.
Yes. Optimistic, happy, wonderful, joyous. I thoroughly enjoyed them. You endorsed him for president, and you attended his election night watch party. I did.
And you consider Trump to be your mentor, correct? No. He's not your mentor? No. But he...
Sorry, he is somebody who you want the support of. And you have the support of. Yes, I do. I think he's a very, very brave man. Because you are getting ready to run for Prime Minister of Great Britain, correct?
Oh, I've been trying for years, yeah. And okay, that part, uniquely hilarious. And true. He has run before. This is not a brand new thing that he's doing for the first time.
Every part of this so far is exactly the way you should handle someone who is trying to create controversy where there is none. It's just awesome. Again, I'll get to the stuff that you're waiting for us to talk about, this stuff like Epstein, but this is just too amusing. And as it stands right now, you head up a party. How how many seats in the Parliament are there?
651 seats, if you include the speaker, that is. 650. And how many seats does your party? Hold. How many seats do the opinion poll say we're going to get next time?
Is that the number of people? the leader of a fringe party. Oh, I'm a fringe, all right. Don't worry about that. Yes, actually.
Everything I've ever done. As a fringe party leader. I gotta be honest, his accent might also be what's making this so entertaining for us. But yeah, he's totally fine with everything you're describing him as. Seeking to run for.
Uh Prime Minister of Great Britain. You need a lot of money in order to blow up like the MAGA movement has blown up. What you need is a message of truth and a message of hope.
Well, you need money also, right? Money is helpful, but it's not the primary thing you need. I love that last part, too. You need a message of truth, a message of hope. You need money, it's helpful.
Whether or not we get that money from certain individuals that you seem to hate and want this to be the discussion point. The truth is that. We hope that we get more seats and do better. The leader of the Reform UK party. By the way, the UK is locking people up for free speech reasons.
So it seems like a uniquely bad time to be someone who's in the UK or defending the politics as usual version of events that occurs there. It seems like what you really, really want is actually a lot of people that are going to behave quite a bit differently than these horrible people are behaving. And so you want someone who's trying to reform the entirety of the party. That would be a good thing. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
