Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Just I just opened the mail, you know how we have Florida Woman Amber? Oh, she sent me a real humdinger.
Yeah, okay, let's look uh Let me just read this one real quick. This is from. Uh is this Us magazine or US magazine? I guess it's puss magazine. A Florida man and a woman were arrested because they took a 14-year-old to a strip club.
What? Yeah.
So, oh my gosh, I need, okay, Juan, this image of this lady with her fake lashes.
Now, this is Jasmine Crockett level of too much. Ladies, they don't need to look like one of them flutter doll eyes, you know? That's Is she a woman? Is that a woman? I mean, oh man.
Oh my gosh, those lashes. Stop it. Nobody knows. There's a video out there where this older gentleman. He says, no man wakes up and is like, you know what you need?
You need some spider legs on your eyes, lady. No one does that. That's way too much, man. Way too much.
So apparently they were arrested because they took a 14-year-old boy to a strip club in Jacksonville. And then not only did they take him, they posted the foot. They took video of it and posted it online. Ricky Clark. Man, that sounds like a name that would do that.
And Alyn poor Hamza. Poor hams. It works. They were accused oh, they went to Passion's Gentlemen's Club. The miners' parents did not know.
And so They Where the police were sent a social media video that showed the 14-year-old there. and apparently he was drinking. They were buying him drinks. and he was heavily intoxicated. And so now That people are in prison.
What isn't reported is like their relationship. Like, how do these grown people know this 14-year-old? And why are they? Like hanging out. Like, why are they all hanging out together?
That just doesn't make any sense to me, right? I don't know. Also. A Florida man is accused of stealing $1,000. This is actually clever.
Don't don't repeat it. $1,000 in merchandise in a barcode swapping scheme at a Cape Coral Lowe's. He was arrested because he was switching them barcodes around. He apparently was doing it over 120-day period.
So he would do things like. This sounds ridiculous. He would remove the barcode from a gorilla double-sided tape package priced at $7.98 and place it over the barcode of a package of heavy-duty scotch tape priced at $17.98. Yeah.
He saved ten dollars. Oh my gosh, I can't even do this. A Florida man leads police on a chase fleas through the woods on a four wheeler.
Sorry, Wheeler. Ozark's coming out. Wheeler. W-I-L-L-E-R. I myself had a three-wheeler when I was a kid, and then we had four-wheelers, and then they started calling them A-T-Vs.
Alright, so this Lake County They arrested a man after he led deputies on a chase through the woods on a four-wheeler, and they responded they had to bring canine out. He went to the why would you do that? You know, there's like water in them woods, and there's gators in them woods. You don't go to no place where you can't get EVAC out real quick. I'm just saying.
uh he finally had to abandon the four wheeler and he fled on foot. Before a deputy finally made contact with him, he was charged with battery and a written threat to kill, according to police.
So he's lucky he didn't get his feet gnawed off by a gator. Snacks. Let's see. We also have oh boy Road rage. This mugshot is something else.
A Florida man cut off other drivers and then pointed a gun at them in Walton County. Cane his teeth. Oh I know.
Okay. Maybe he was born with it? Maybe it's math. Yeah.
A 30 he's 34. That guy's thirty-four in the smug shot. 34? 34 did. Oh, Lord.
Blackie Alvarez Yeah. He was arrested for a road rage incident in Walton County, where he pulled a gun on multiple people. Yeah.
He got, oh gosh, here's a lot of charges. Excuse me. Two felony counts of false imprisonment, two felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one felony count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, two counts of unlawful carry of a concealed weapon, driving without a license.
So multiple people were calling 911 about a guy. swerving around, cutting everybody off and pointing a gun at everybody. The driver finally, when deputies located him, exited the vehicle, pulled a gun from his waistband, placed it on top of his car. Uh, and he wouldn't speak with the deputies, he had warrants out, and then he had another warrant because he wouldn't pay child support. I am so shocked.
I don't think he has any upper teeth except maybe three. Yeah.
Is he wearing a grill? And then the bottom teeth are like playing cards all stacked on top of each other. I don't know. And he smiled real big. He seems violent.

I want to know why we are now Speaking of grammar. Maybe not Groomery.
So it was announced yesterday, a congressman. He's been on the show before we didn't really agree Randy Fine out of Florida He sent a letter to Brendan Carr at the FCC calling for a full and immediate investigation into the Bad Bunny halftime show. He adds, in America, our laws are not suggestions, and no matter what foreign language you speak, you must comply. He is upset. over the twerking.
This is so I don't like twerking on national television, but why are we investigating it? Have you guys noticed we've had hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud? Against American taxpayers in multiple states all around the country, and it's probably half a trillion dollars. If it's a couple of hundred billion in Minnesota, I think it's safe to say it's half a trillion dollars nationally, easy. But now they're doing, they're carrying, they are calling for a formal congressional inquiry in the NFL.
and about The Bad Bunny Show. He said it was pure smut. He said he and also Andy Ogles from Tennessee. He said children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, bad bunnies shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry humping the air. I really don't need to hear these dudes talk about this.
I I don't Mm-hmm. I can't even read the other thing he said. He was talking about his song that he performed. He did change the lyrics of it, correct? My friend one of my friends who's half Puerto Rican Her family except She said for her communist aunt.
were aghast at It was the symbolism that they were upset over, the Marxist imagery. And the revolution imagery and the promotion of like the sugar plantation narrative and all this stuff. And that's what they were angrier about because they're very anti-commie. Um It almost feels like a Rorschach test of what are you going to get mad about the most, and that's what you're going to hate the most about the Bad Bunny Show. Do you think it requires an FCC investigation, Kane?
No, I mean, I speak a little bit of Spanish, but if you look back at some of the lyrics of the songs that he partly performed, he didn't get to those parts of the songs that were really controversial. But fine is apparently he doesn't like the twerking. Yeah, well, you're not going to get anything from the SEC on that. And there was nothing in. And when you look at the transcripts of what actually happened, actually happened during the performance, there.
None of the obscenities that people were upset about in those lyrics actually made it to Paris. And our friend Jorge Bunilla, who lives in Florida. And is very critical of uh Spanish-speaking press. He and you know, he's very hardcore, big conservative, big patriot. And he was saying, yeah, none of the obscenities, they stopped before they got to the verses with obscenities.
But I, and I mean, you got to, yeah, you can't go after that with FCC because it has to be on air in order to be actionable.
However, I do get, yeah, you're going to have kids that are going to be trying to look up that song, but that's where parents come in. Parent for the crying, for crying out loud, the hell. Wow, my kids are looking all this stuff up. If only I, a parent, had some sort of authority to manage my child's behavior. You know what it's called?
A flip-flop. Beat their ass. That's what it's called. What is so difficult about this, mom and dad? Good night.
I never had, my mom never actually cared what I really watched or what I listened to or what I read. I had no. Limits. The only thing I wasn't allowed to do is when I was in junior high, I was not allowed to go to the Guns N' Roses concert at what was then Riverport Amphitheater. Because it was on a school night.
And I was really upset about that until the 10 o'clock news came on. And my mom pointed her finger at me, like Leo DiCaprio, that meme in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Because they had a riot, and I would have been there a junior high kid with some junior high girlfriends in a riot. at River Port. That is the only time she ever wouldn't let me go anywhere.
But or watch anything or do anything. But otherwise I was just, you know, I was like in all of it. But um I mean, I knew that I couldn't go out and act, you know, I couldn't go out and do hood red stuff because she can she'd beat me to death. It's pre-parenting.
Now, I had some cousins in that that their their moms and my aunts and uncles were really like, You can't listen to this and you can't read that and they went to college and partied way harder than I ever even imagined.
So, I don't know, I'm just saying. But um Why are we, yeah, I agree with the people who are like, why are we wasting time on this? And for those of you who say, well, you know, we can, Dana, we can. Multitask. No, we can't, actually.
I don't know if you've met our government. They can't do those things. They're like, wait a minute. We can't do both things at the same time, what? We can't talk about the Save Act and then also look at the fraud that's happening from You know, the Somali diaspora in Minnesota, we can't do both of these things at the same time.
They didn't even want to bring the SAVE Act to the floor for a vote because they, well, we got to look at the Farm Bill, too. We can't look at the Farm Bill and also the SAVE Act. That's crazy. We can't do both of these items.
So, yeah, that's for the people who are like, Dana, didn't you think that they can multitask? No, I actually don't. I don't think that they can. I just think this is kind of a waste of time, really. You know?
I mean What I would do if I was Brendan Carr, I would be like, well, you know, I'm actually less upset over Bad Bunny and I'm more upset over Green Day because they're horrible. And the guy's like in his mid to late 50s and he dresses like he's an 18-year-old skater boy. Just stop. And, you know, no one believes your hair is that color. And those are plugs.
And, you know, no hate, but stop. Stop trying to chase the youth that escaped you along with relevancy. And the only way that you can attain it, again, is by just running your mouth about how much you hate conservatives and Christians and Trump. Blah, blah, blah. We get it.
You don't like me, Trump. But get some new material. All they have been doing, all they did is get old and bitch. That's all they do. They just get older and bitchier.
That's all that, and it's not fun.
So if I were Brennan Carr, I would be like, I don't like your band. You go to jail. Yeah.
Right to jail. Go. Every year, people make the same fitness goal, train harder. But most fail because recovery gets ignored, especially connective tissue that muscles depend on to grow.

So, in January, the Trump administration issued guidance limiting the types of flags that could be displayed at NPS-managed sites. And apparently, the Stonewall Inn is one of them in New York City. And they took down the pride flag. I can't believe this is an issue. They took down the pride flag.
Now, NYC officials are planning to re-raise the pride flag. When is that month coming up? Is it month coming up? The Pride Month? When is that?
Was it GM? Oh, for Christ. I don't remember. Good night. So, I just like of all the things to fight over, why is come on, guys?
Like, just and do you need to put flags on everything? Look, this is how we like the sex. Here's our flag demonstrating it. Enjoy the park. I like to eat boogers.
Here's my booger eating flag. I'm going to put this up. Like, seriously. A driver was arrested after he was accused of intentionally hitting a group of people outside of a trucky safeway. I've never heard of the store trucky, but that's hysterical.
It's for trucks.
So he apparently is being accused of driving intentionally into a group of people outside of the store. The police officers were called to the Safeway. It was February 7th. 49-year-old Jonathan Maurer. Yeah, he hit four people.
And it was a youth baseball team. Oh, the Tahoe Titans. They were selling beef jerky outside of the store, and he drove through their display right into the store. There's literally no update as to why he did it. Was it a health issue?
Is he just a D-bag? Is he an Islamist? Like, what is it? I wouldn't like to know. Reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts as AI enters the operating room.
This is going to be a disaster, isn't it? This is gonna be this is from Reuters Yeah, people are a little nervous about this and understandably so. They said medical device makers are using AI, adding AI to their products, but regulators are saying there's an increasing number of claims for patient injuries. Uh What? What is that going to do to insurance, also, by the way?
Because this is, as they incorporate it, you know, there's going to be bugs. This is why there are a lot of people who don't even get like the new iPhones because of this. They don't want bugs. I'm just worried about that kind of stuff. We got a number of things, including why are we now investigating Bad Bunny?
Stick with us. You guys remember Snow White, the mo well, I know you know the story, but you remember hearing about Disney's remake of it? I didn't go. Watch. 'Cause I couldn't stand that Rachel Ziegler girl.
She really disappointed me. Like, I was so excited, you know, because I hate musicals, but there's two I like: sound of music. and West Side Story. I will watch those two. And when they had her in West Side Story, I was like, oh, that's gonna.
That's a good casting, you know. And then she turned into this giant brat, damn theater kids, she turned into this brat. And they were trying to promote Snow White, and she just kept stepping in it. She kept talking all kinds of smack, et cetera. She was like going off on.
Israel and Jewish people, and like your co-stars, it you know, was in the IDF. Like, what are you talking about? Anyway. From Forbes, Disney lost $170 million on this. Mm-hmm.
the movie Blue, it's budget. reveals this studio. $170 million. It was over the production budget. You know how much it took cost to make this?
$336.5 million.
Now, granted, it wasn't entirely Rachel Ziegler. You also had the issue with Peter Dinklage, who's a little D-bag. He's the guy who acted like according to other little people, they were livid at him. Because he went out and was like, I can't believe you're having dwarves in Snow White, even though it talks about dwarves in Snow White. And they're like, oh, you get all the roles.
You act like you're somebody said you. I can't repeat it. Basically, they were saying. It was an actor who is a little person, and they were saying that you are. Are not the um The head dwarf of everything.
You know what I mean? Like, you are not the head dwarf of it all. And But that's not how they said it. You're not the king blank of blank mountain. Actually, yeah, you're not yeah, so.
Uh so uh It was that coupled, and then remember they had to get rid of the they had little, weren't they going to have little people? And they got rid of little people, and then they had regular sized like you know, people like five foot six, six foot tall people, and then that didn't work because they were supposed to be dwarves, according to the story.
So then they got rid of them, and then they had like. A like uh uh computer generated CGI People? Diminutive fellows? And it was just a... A mess.
She and then Ziegler went out there and was slamming the story. She said, Prince Charming's a stalker, and the content is dated, and blah, blah, blah. I mean, she even made the guy whose dad worked on the original, which won him an Oscar, David Hand. He was like, they would be turning, he's like, my dad and Walt Disney would be turning in their graves. Hearing this stuff.
Absolutely. I mean, she just sounded like a brat. And oh, and then she was always she would promote the movie and go Free Palestine and all this other stuff.
So, yeah, $170 million. Good, good. I'm glad that they lost it. Maybe now they'll be too broke to pay to do any other stupid movies. That's just unfortunate.
I'm also, okay, so Wuthering Heights, they're remaking Wuthering Heights, and it's Marco Robbie and Jacob Belordi in it, and I don't get it. I'm already mad about this movie.
So I am very familiar with Bronte's work. And I am very familiar with every single adaptation that has ever been made of this movie. And Tom Hardy was the best, Heathcliff. And I will cut people for that. Uh yes, you had uh others like um One of the you who was it?
Was it Joseph Fians? No, Ralph Fiennes. He was in one of the adaptations. He was really great as well. Steve was like, they picked the two most attractive Australians.
It's all Australian people.
So the director who worked with Saltburn apparently also did the Barbie movie, or not Barbie movie, she did another Margot Robbie movie. And they all know each other, and they were accused of doing all the casting on WhatsApp. Here's my problem with Wuthering Heights. Catherine in the movie is supposed to be a teenage girl. Margot Robbie is 35 and blonde.
Catherine is pale, brunette, and a teenage girl. That's kind of an issue. I feel like. Yeah.
By the way, the Tom Hardy adaptation, the actress who played Catherine is actually his wife in real life. And she looked the part. She looked like a teenage girl, brown, pale, teenage girl. That's how it's described. I mean, they live in the Yorkshire Moors for crying out loud.
So it's just weird, and apparently, the costumes are very anachronistic. And they consummate their relationship repeatedly in the movie, where some of the reviews say it's more like Fifty Shades of Gray than Wuthering Heights, which in the pages, the relationship is never physically consummated, ever. Ever. Not in the book. It is not.
I've read the book like five times. It's not.
So I'm already mad about this because they hoed it up. They made the story. It it It is less about being sexually charged and more about two of the most irredeemable characters in literature. Hateful. Characters that hate each other, and I don't know if they can define love.
That's kind of the whole thing of the story, right?
So I don't know. I what is Hollywood doing? Stop ruining classics. I'll probably still see it, but I don't know. I saw the Dracula movie, Luke Besson.
That was good, except for two things: the perfume and the gargoyles. But Danny Elfman's score was amazing. The casting, actually, I was very. questionable about, but it was very good. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
