Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast, sponsored by Keltech. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
All right, so first up. This is not If it sounds familiar, it's not because I we've read it before, it's because This is a new one that's happened. A Port Charlotte man, Florida man. got drunk and tried to enter the wrong house. Null and Worrell.
23 years old in Port Charlotte, Dunn got himself arrested Monday evening, Kane, because he was accused of attempting to break into a neighbor's home while he was drunk as a skunk or a raccoon, mistakenly believing that it was his own house. At 7 p.m., Tom Dorothy, man that has two first names. was uh he heard banging. at the empty house next door to his own. And when he went out and kind of peered out in the dark, he thought, well, he saw a nearly naked man.
He was wearing just shorts, no shoes, no shirt, no nothing. Uh cops arrived. He wasn't trying to break into the house for any nefarious reason. He was trying to get home, and he was so drunk he couldn't remember which house was his. That's thoroughly drunk.
Can you really be that drunk where you don't remember? I've seen it. What house you live in? Yeah. Because You're talking about messing with core memories at that point.
I don't know. Yeah, but some more dominant core memories are what come forward when you're really, really drunk.
So I've seen I've had friends that actually go to their old house. By accident, because of that. That's kind of crazy. Woof.
So in addition to that We also have A Florida man told BWI employees that this is an airport, that he had an explosive device and they had to evacuate everything. It was the Thurgood Marshall. Airport, he said he had an explosive device on his bag. This was in Maryland. Florida man.
And he was getting ready to people who were like in the process of boarding the plane were told that they had to get off and they had to evacuate and all of this stuff because this guy was. I guess just having a fit and saying that he had an explosive device in his bag. He didn't want to pay for the parking. You know, he didn't wanna pay for parking. They gave the, I mean, it took 30 minutes, not even that, for them to be like, this guy's full of it.
But just because he was full of it does not mean that they did not detain him. It doesn't matter whether or not you have a bomb, you're going to have a felony charge regardless. Uh so he went to the pokey. Mm-hmm. What?
It's a good place for him. Yeah. A, a Florida woman who wanted to sacrifice her husband and son tried to strangle a nurse. Ooh, this was in Pinellas Park, Florida. The woman was trying to sacrifice her husband.
She got arrested. Then she tried to strangle a nurse, 58 years old. Karen, of course it is. Karen Dieter. She used a power cord from her ankle monitor to strangle the nurse.
That is the most I that's the most cops thing I've ever heard of in my life. Used her ankle monitor's cord to strangle the nurse.

Ugh, stressing me out. Why are the people I love so hard to shop for? Probably because they only make boring gift guides that are totally uninspired. Except for the guide we made. In partnership with Marshalls, where premium gifts meet incredible value, it's giving gifts!
With categories like best gifts for the mom whose idea of a sensible walking shoe is a stiletto, or best gifts for me that were so thoughtful I really shouldn't have. Check out the guide on marshalls.com and gift the good stuff at marshalls. The entire planet has fallen off a cliff. Into The the stupid zone. where we I don't even know what's going on anymore.
This is a small planet. We have to work together and live together, and we can do that. The bad guys exploit. The illusion of differences. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us?
Do you really believe what These clowns like Trump, Orban. Netanyahu. Putin, do you really believe what these guys say? Or do you look at your heart and you go, Wow, no, the world isn't like that. It's all there.
If we can remove the stupid stuff. that most of these bad guy leaders are dumping on us. Get rid of that, the crud. and go back to who we really are. Which is really profound kindness inside of us.
I'm in a really crabby mood right now. You know this guy oh gosh, Dana guard your mouth right now. He's a big fan of the old CCP, you know that, right? Richard Gare. AKA Cindy Crawford's first husband.
AKA, the 80-year-old married to a 40-year-old. Yeah, aka Mr. Gerbal. Yeah. Don't Google that one, kids.
Don't. Welcome back to the program. Daniel Lash at the top of the second hour. Uh He's so. This is Richard Gere.
Richard Gere's, he's upset over the. Um what what POTUS has said about uh Somali The Somali community in Minnesota that's been bilking taxpayers. He's upset over this. And I um don't really care if he is or not because it's always these individuals. Who, whenever they talk about it, whether it's him, whether I'm pulling up Ben Stiller's remark from yesterday, or the day before rather, like Ben Stiller, when he was talking about it, they omit the part that people are objecting to the fraud.
And they act like Trump is just out there.
Well, I just don't like those Somalis. They're ignoring the whole fact that he was talking about the fraud. And what's being perpetrated against the taxpayer in Minnesota. Richard Gere. Does he act anymore?
Don't answer that. Is he still in things? I don't even know what the hell he does anymore. Chris, just shut up. Just shut your old man mouth.
So tired of it. Can't he just retire and go into the You know. Go into that good night? Can he just go away? The last thing I need is some barely literate, gerbil-loving celebrity sitting here lecturing all of us about what we can get outraged over where it concerns our taxpayer dollars.
You steal my taxpayer dollars, I may set your damn yard on fire. I don't care. I'm just there already. I'm just so aggravated at all of it. RICHARD GERE Was he ever attractive?
Is that the other thing, too? Like, was he ever considered like a Hollywood ick guy? I don't know what the hell he's been in. They said he got blacklisted from some movies or something like that, probably because he sucks out loud. I don't know what he does.
What does he do now? I assume he still acts or does those things. Why, what podcast is he on? Back in the day, right? Is this some what godforsaken podcast did he show up on?
Some Tom Dick and Harry went out and got a podcast. Meow. Uh I don't even know what show what thing he's on. Actor and activist, it says here, kill us all now. Oh, people are driven by profound kindness.
You know, people like Trump and Netanyahu, they teach us that Somali vibe why did Netanyahu look, I get it that he is absolutely, he just dry humps Jew hatred. I get it. He's one of those twinks that gets off on that. That's like a whole subset. People who get off on hating Jews, he's one of them.
I get that that's like his thing. I don't know why Netanyahu I mean, that's the only thing that explains why Netanyahu got into this. What the hell does Netanyahu have to do with Somalis in Minnesota? Kane's dying. What does he have to do with Somalis?
Like, all of a sudden, like, oh, I stubbed my toe. Gosh, dang, that Netanyahu. Where the hell does this come from? How are these people like this? They're calling the wrong person retarded.
It's not Tim Walt, it also is, but it's also Richard Gere. Jiminy Christmas. I mean, he's you know, do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different from us?
Well, considering that I'm not robbing my fellow man of their taxpayer dollars, that's a hell yeah. The fact that we don't descend into tribal feudalism here in the United States like they do in Somalia, that's a yes. He thinks the psychology of these people, they think they're so much better than you. They're so much better than you. Look at Richard Gere and his enlightenedness.
You know, how dare you, Kane, you dirty proletariat, pass judgment. on this precious baby.
Somali diaspora that are stealing literally hundreds of billions of dollars. From taxpayers. Is it judgment or is it just discernment? Just. Shedding light.
Oh, it's all racism, I'm sure. Oh, is it? Yeah, it's all R-A-Y-S-I-S-ism. That's what it is. I um I I mean, I'm not even getting into the sex trafficking stuff because they now they have like part of the Somali diaspora that are involved in sex trafficking going back all the way to two thousand and six.
Because they have their own little mafia up there. You know, they come from Somalia, they bring their tribal warlordism, and then they pimp out chicks. I mean, it's like a whole thing. Local media at least did talk about it. Their community radio station up there did talk about it.
They talked about the Somali sex rings that they have. University of Minnesota, they had a whole thing about it where they were talking about trouble youths and Somali immigrants that are being involved in all of this.
So yeah, going back to his point, I would say that because I don't sell my fellow man into sex slavery, bring my warlord tribalism to my neighborhood, and I don't bilk my fellow man out of billions of dollars of their hard-earned money. And rob them of what they could be using for their family. Yeah, I'm better. I'm different. Yeah, and I have no problem saying that if you have a problem with it, you can go do something so completely, irrevocably unflattering to yourself, I don't care.
There you go. I just, I'm getting tired of the lectures from these people. And he sits here at this godforsaken IKEA table. I'm so tired of seeing these stupid, the stupid modern frontage and these crappy little podcasts. He's sitting here at this godforsaken IKEA table.
Well, pinky's out, gerbil's up. You know, like he's sitting at this table like, oh, oh, oh, you guys are so mean. We're talking about the, you know, the immigrants that are putting women in sex slavery and all this stuff. It's we're, and by the way, we're talking about the immigrants that do this. It's not our fault, short bus, if you are interpreting this as meaning every immigrant because you're the racist or because you're so desperate for a deflection against a scandal that you contributed to that you have to do this.
Well, they're talking about all immigrants, not just the immigrants that are perpetrating this. They're talking about all of the immigrants. No, we're talking about the people who are doing this. How hard is that for you, absolute demons, to understand? We're talking about the people who are engaged in this.
And yeah, if you're looking the other way, you're part of the problem. If you're in the community and you're not participating in it, but you're protecting it by not saying anything, you're part of the problem. You're no different. It is the folks at Kaltech, Florida-based company, the KS7 Gen 2 shotgun, if you're familiar with it. It's a pump action shotgun made by Keltech, a family-owned company.
All the original KS7 advantages are there. It's super ultra-lightweight. It weighs just under seven pounds unloaded. And you also as well have all of the maneuverability and tight spaces. It's a compact bullpup design.

This is Matt Rogers from Lost Culturalistos with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Culture East with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. Hey, Bowen, it's gift season. Stressing me out. Why are the people I love so hard to shop for?
Probably because they only make boring gift guides that are totally uninspired. Except for the guide we made. In partnership with Marshalls, where premium gifts meet incredible value, it's giving gifts. With categories like best gifts for the mom whose idea of a sensible walking shoe is a stiletto. Or best gifts for me that were so thoughtful I really shouldn't have.

Shocker, climate change, a study on climate change that Would make you poorer has been retracted over major flaws because it's a stupid, bogus study by a bunch of environmental cultists, and that's. That's all there is to it. I mean, it was at the Possum Institute for Climate Impact Research, and they were saying that, oh my gosh, everybody's going to be poor and eating cat food in the desert, basically. But they had to retract their study entirely because it turned out that. Uh, 60% of everything that they said in this study was absolutely false.
Who's shocked? Not I, because the whole thing of climate change, that's all it's about. It's about wealth redistribution, but between nations, not individuals. Chat GPT reportedly encouraged a violent stalker. via court documents.
They say that a lawsuit that was filed by the DOJ alleges that ChatGPT encouraged a man accused of harassing over a dozen women in five different states to continue stalking his victims, serving as its best friend, and it would entertain his rants and told him to ignore any criticism that he got. 31-year-old Brett DeDig was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of cyber stalking, interstate stalking, interstate threats per the DOJ on Tuesday. He went after a number of women. Let's see. Apparently, I'm going to go down.
Doctors are using AI a lot more. I've heard this. I've heard this from a lot of doctors. They use it as a tool. It's not something that takes.
The place of their expertise or training, but it is a tool that can enhance what they do and help with diagnosis, diagnoses, help with a number of other things. They said 30% of general practitioners in the UK are actually using AI tools in patient consultations. And that's. Which is I think is incredibly important. But that's I think if if it's used as a tool to help treat patients, I don't see why that's why that would be a bad thing.
They're saying America's diplomatic corps is in crisis at its breaking point. To get into it, because they buried the lead of this god-awful story, like literally nine paragraphs in, it's the Americans Foreign Service Association. They're saying a lot of people, fewer people, are doing American Foreign Service. They're doing like less volunteering in foreign countries, things like that. Also, you know, the big thing that goes towards reducing that is the percentage of global threats worldwide.
I mean, nobody wants to go overseas and volunteer or do anything if they feel like their safety, if they feel like their government's not even going to be able to bring them back. That's incredibly important. Also, the presidential ballroom architect. He was fired because, and he was the guy who said it was too big. He ultimately ended up being fired after he was arguing with POTUS and others about the size and scope.
Of the White House ballroom, $300 million, which is being funded privately, including POTUS himself. James McCreary II and his architecture firm were replaced back in October per the Washington Post. They had battled over their desire to keep the increase, to keep the size of the new building and whether or not it needed to be increased. And so, interesting. We got a lot more on the way.
Stick with us. All right. Can we talk about doll moms? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
It's Friday. It's just for pretend, right? It's just a small thing. No, no. Um,.
There's apparently a thing. It's a growing. Trend of women who pretend that dolls are real babies. Can I just show you cut 24, please? says cut 24.
This is the doll mom thing. Yeah. It's a lady.
Well she's talking to it too. Look at it. It looks like a possessed thing. Why is its hair that long? No baby's got that kind of hair.
The Chucky haircut? No baby's got that long hair. Good morning, sweet baby. It is another point. Oh my gosh, what?
What? Just whole rooms. She's getting real snacks out for you. Yeah. Real snacks, like those they're dolls, I can't.
Oh my gosh, she's manipulative. I hate mornings. Mm. Um, what are we doing today? Oh, putting together the storage racks and organizing all the hair accessories.
This is nuts. Hoggy. What in the world? Wake up, mommy. That way she can't wake up?
Cause it's a doll. That's why no kid has that kind of hair. Those dolls have better hair than she does. She has a whole house outfitted. Would dull stuff.
That's sad. That is really sad. And highly realistic baby dolls. Apparently, Wall Street Journal has this piece. This is a growing trend.
Believe it or not.
Now, I understand that there are some women, and I don't want to hear the male email from it because not everything is about you, okay? Yes, some women experience loss and they have miscarriages and they get reborn dolls, which I think that you just, you know, you need some therapy. And, you know, some people have Alzheimer's and too much. Stop. That's not what this lady has.
Stop it. And I'm not going to make it, this is weird. No caveat, it's weird. You have an entire room for a doll. That's like thousands of dollars of stuff in there for a doll.
And it's sad. I don't I don't want to make fun of her. It's creepy, and this is actually would be an amazing horror film now that I think of it. That would be an amazing horror film. I'm already scared, dude.
Look at me, I'm already like, ooh. This is already terrifying. Mm-mm. But It's sad.
So, I'm confused, though, about the whole trad wife thing. Like, it being. you know, a target of feminism.
So is this Going to be targeted by feminism because she's just playing the role of a trad wife.
Well, is she though? I mean, she's staying home, taking care of the babies. Yeah, but where's the husband and where's the Lord? Is that where? You know, that's kind of part of the trad thing.
Right. I don't know. But do you know how much some of these dolls are?
So the Wall Street Journal says these are like $8,000 dolls. Wow. What? What? Dude.
You mean all together? No, like each doll can be like Anywhere from three to eight thousand dollars, get out of here for real. Like they punch the hair in the head. Like a hand Herrot or whatever. I don't know what that phrasing is.
It's but it's sad to me though. You know, Trying to fulfill something. Trying to fulfill some kind of Need and it's just sad. I mean, it makes me wonder. You know, I don't know a lot about this lady, I don't know if she's got kids or.
know she you know what it is, but Wall Street Journal says it's not just women. who have miscarried or people who have Alzheimer's. It's not just that. That's my point. It has grown beyond that.
It is a lot more than just that now.
So what is driving that? I did not know that this was did you guys know this was a huge phenomenon? I didn't know this. I did not. I did not, I was completely unaware of this.
Now, Lorraine is freaking out. I can't even say what. Are you redacting me? Is she using caps lock real baby formula? I think she is.
I think she is. I I um I can't believe how expensive these things are.
Now when I was l younger. Uh, it was a kid. One of A family member, they had, they weren't like lifelike baby dolls like this, and she didn't play with them. They were like china dolls with the... China face and like the weird and she collected them and kept them in a cabinet.
and whenever you would walk into the room their lifeless, soulless, dead, demonic eyes would stare at you, follow you all around the room. I swear their fla their faces glowed at night, but it could have been just me. That's different. This is like there, and like I said, the Wall Street Journal piece noted, and it's not, and it was on, I saw this thing on Instagram too. What began as something to help Alzheimer's patients like women who Thought You know, their memories had regressed because of the disease back to like being a new mom, and they didn't know any better, and you couldn't get through to them, or women dealing with loss or whatever.
It's so far beyond that, that's why it's a booming business. It's not just that. It is a booming business. It is a huge trend. That's why the Wall Street Journal wrote about it because they were like, what in the world?
This is like people are making tons of money. Like they you literally have like luxury. Lifelike doll dealers And it's not just collectors that just hold, I mean, they look like, it's just crazy. But it's sad because why, what is happening in these women's lives, especially when you think about the birth rate. Decline.
and the birth rate. I I feel like that what they they're brooding. That's what it is. They're broody. I don't know.
There's a New York Post had at this time last year. They had this story. Oh gosh, I hesitate sharing this with you, Kane. It's so weird. They had this story where this one woman had eight of these dolls and she took them with her everywhere.
She even bought like a specialized vehicle. to load them in the vehicle. craziness.
Now coming up, I know, I don't know how to segue out of that. It's crazy. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
