This is Julian Edelman from Games with Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time. And one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of.
But I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the big game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough. And you can show support by sharing the blue square.
This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. The president answered a few questions from the press while celebrating the Easter holiday at the White House.
Among those questions were asking, they were asking about a ceasefire that President Trump was like, what are you talking about? And then also a war crime, which was the big new thing that media, I think the New York Post has a big, or the New York Times, excuse me, has a big article about it today, how some of the things Trump has talked about doing with Iran would constitute international war crimes that the U.S. doesn't care about. And I don't even agree. It's like so convoluted because they want these simplified statements.
Media wants to say that Trump is a felon. Media wants to say that President Trump is a war criminal, whatever it might be. But here, let's play some of this audio first of President Trump answering questions, including ones about a ceasefire that he's not at all discussed. Just a 45-day ceasefire that's not talked about anyone's order. Yeah.
Who's talking about 45 days? Reports this morning. I'm the hatred of the 24th and 45-day ceasefire. The only one that's going to set a ceasefire is me. I haven't said any ceasefire.
But they'd like to have a ceasefire because they're getting obliged.
So we'll see how they behave. I love that answer first and foremost when he's like, who's talking about a 45-day? What are you talking about? 45-day ceasefire. Where'd you get that from?
You didn't get it from me. I'm the president, and I talk to you guys all the time. The funny thing, I'll say this quickly before I play more audio. Biden hid from the press.
So very, very often, a lot of the information you were getting about the White House came from people that were not the president. That is a very different thing than the world we live in now. Any of these members of the press could probably call the president, and I've heard several members of the press say this before, and he might answer and tell them his answer to whatever their question is.
So they don't have to just make stuff up, but they love making stuff up. Here, let's play another one. I'm not worried about it. You know it's a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon.
Allowing a sick country with demented leadership have a nuclear weapon. That's a war crime. If I allowed that to happen, like seven other presidents did. Every president said, you know, many of them are saying off the record and they're saying behind the scenes, they should have done this a long time ago. Other president for 47 years, this has been going on, and every one of those presidents should have done it.
And actually, as you know, off the record, they're doing it off the record because they haven't got the courage to say it. Those presidents are giving you a lot of credit. It should have been done by Obama, should have been done by Clinton, should have been done by the Bushes. Yes, it should have been done by a lot of people, and it wasn't done, and now it's finally getting done, and that's true. As far as international law goes and international war crimes, the United States intentionally, and this is not a Trump thing, you should look this up if you're not aware of it because a whole lot of people seem to not be aware of it.
The United States has intentionally said they don't follow those laws. We care about our national sovereignty. We care about our independence, and we can't be told what to do by anybody that's not us. The whole America first thing and the importance of it. I love how often mainstream media wants that international rule of law or international currency or international whatever.
Whatever to be the thing that many, many people focus on. All right, we're going to try to do something that's a little bit unique. We're going to go to some coverage from President Trump's press conference today that he's giving about Iran. For some of our affiliates, this might actually be live. For some of our affiliates, this is already happening.
But let's throw to some of this. I have some of this going. We'll be with you and. Happy Easter. We had a great Easter.
This is one of our better Easters, I think, in a lot of different ways. I can say militarily. It's been one of the best.
So, good afternoon. We have quite a bit to discuss. We'll go into pretty good detail. And we have the people that are most involved. We'll give you...
Exactitude. And we're here today to celebrate the success of one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing combat searches. I guess you would call it a search and rescue mission. ever attempted by the military. Generally when planes are knocked down in war, especially when you're fighting a Yeah, a strong group.
A naval group. You can't really do this because He sent in two hundred men to pick up one. And it's something that's usually not attempted as much as you want to attempt. And bad things happen to that one or two. And in this case, we did too, and might not have been attempted before, but we did.
And we're good. We had great talent, but we got a little luck too, I would say. And uh We were helped by a lot of people, a lot of great people. You know, what's interesting about him starting the press conference there, not only talking about the success in saving a military man that was behind enemy lines saving our military men and women. What's also interesting about it to me.
Is the idea that he even referenced within that that we got a little lucky? And the reason that I think that that's important is the President of the United States is basically saying that we were willing to take a risk here. It wasn't like we definitively knew that saving these individuals was going to be as easy as it wound up being, but it was. And it does stem from our dominance, our ability to control the entirety of this conflict from jump. We are doing much better than anyone thought we'd do.
Well, I don't know if that's true, but we're doing much better more quickly than people might have projected in our conflict with Iran. And that does matter. The president goes on beyond that. I want to dive a little bit more. I'm going to jump back into this as we go back and forth here and see what he's talking about now.
Well, participating in Operation Epic Fury, where we're doing unbelievably well, well, at a level that nobody's ever seen before. The entire country could be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night. Both members of the crew ejected from the aircraft and landed alive on Iranian soil. I immediately.
was asked Two. Make a decision. I ordered the U.S. Armed Forces to do whatever was necessary to bring our brave warriors back home. A risky decision.
Because we could have ended up with 100 dead as opposed to one or two. It's a hard decision to make. But in the United States military We leave no American behind. We don't do it. Within hours, our armed forces deployed 21 military aircraft into hostile airspace, many flying at very low altitude, being shot by bullets.
You bring rifles into play when you're going that low, but There are also certain advantages. You know, what's really interesting about this, too? I will jump in again. We'll probably play more of this in a more cut-up fashion in a little bit here on the show.
So you'll hear more from this press conference shortly on the Dana show, Craig Collins filling in. But I think it's interesting to give you the full perspective of the mission, of the parameters of it, and the success of it, and the amount of risk that our military men and women take, because there's also a gratitude in that. I think one of the, and I don't mean to turn this into a political shot from the right to the left, but one of the knocks on Biden was oftentimes, especially in the exit in Afghanistan, how little he seemed to care about or acknowledge the sacrifice of the men and women who fought in our military. There's actually stories from one of those survivors who was injured in the exit in Afghanistan about how cold Biden was when he went to talk to him in the hospital. And that's not me telling you that.
That's not a politically invented, a one-sided narrative. That came from. The individual who was harmed in conflict that serves our country within our military lost limbs. And the president of the United States at the time, this was Biden, walks into the hospital room and asks him what he wants, coldly, politically, like optically, as opposed to being grateful.
So I think there's gratitude in these statements. I also think it's important to focus on the heroism that exists in saving people. And finally, the last thing I'll say about. A press conference about Iran a day before President Trump said he might bomb them back to the Stone Age, opening with a focus on a successful campaign that saved American military lives, is the universal good that should be seen in this story. This should not be a right versus a left issue.
This should not be a, I'm taking a shot because I'm a liberal or a Democrat who wants to undercut the value of the president. This should be very easily interpreted as. We have military men and women who serve this country who are behind enemy lines, and we save them. And this should be praised and a good thing. This should be blanket coverage wall to wall on most media outlets as a remarkable achievement.
And of course, it's not because they hate Trump that much. They hate him so much that they can't acknowledge anything good that happens, even when the context is so obvious in this case. But so I do like that. I do like that the beginning of the press conference done today. From President Trump about Iran, focused heavily on the saving of American lives.
After a craft was downed behind enemy lines, because of how important that is. And how, again, maybe I should say it this way before we take a break.
Some things unite the country. And you know what they are: things like 9-11, when we realize the importance of what it means to be an American and to fight terrorism and hate and evil around the world, and to see something horrible occur in our society right here in our country. And we all know, we all know what the next steps are, what they should be. The country is united in those moments. It feels as though one thing that should be uniting us more than separating us.
Is this the saving of military men and women behind enemy lines, the prevention of the loss of life? And yet it's not. We're just too far separated. We're too far into our corners now to allow that to be anything. And I'll say it the more plain way.
It does feel like people on the left are cheering for the terrorists, cheering for the Iranians who sponsor terrorism throughout the world, and that that is just something I could never get myself to be. No matter how much I hated the other side politically, the politicians who run and do things that hurt me, my life, whatever the motivation might be. I could never get myself to cheer on terrorists. And for some reason, some of us in this society, some of the talking head pundit influencer people of the world, seem to very much be doing that every single day. And this is yet another story that seems to expose that.
All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll try to digest more of the press conference President Trump gave about Iran. This is the Dana Show. Craig Collins filling in. More coming up in just a bit.

If you want to be one of the lucky 500 or so that follows me on a social media platform, I need to use more. Did Chick-fil-A fire an entire shift of workers? Was a question being asked on social media. Apparently, eight employees at a Chick-fil-A did a somewhat suggestive dance, a quote, chest-bouncing dance while working. And so now people are curious if all eight of those employees were fired from the establishment.
And Chick-fil-A apparently has not answered any questions about this from websites like Bored Panda that are asking, one, I would love to get an email from someone at Board Panda demanding truth on a news story and look at it and be like, I don't know how I will even try to care about this. But here's the thing: companies can fire you, man. You're not allowed to do social media at work behind the scenes. At their place of business, if they don't want you to, they can let you go for that.
So, I don't think this is a controversy. I think it's sort of hilarious, the entitlement, and I am defending Chick-fil-A for sure here. And people who think they're allowed to just do whatever they want on a camera on their social media pages while working at a business. That is definitely not true. There are rules.
I'm sure they probably have them in the employee handbook. And so, someone getting canned, or maybe multiple people getting canned, whether it happened or didn't, not terribly surprising. Only 7% of people believe all humans are monogamous by nature. That was a weird question asked by you,Gov. More often than not, it was women who were given credit for potentially being monogamous by nature.
Men assumed not to be. And I'm sure that that's obviously a thing that maybe a lot of people might agree or disagree with. But most people actually said that this is something you got to try at. I imagine this was married people who answered this question because it's not about the temptation of cheating. I am a longtime married man myself.
My wife and I have been married for more than 10 years. That's not the thing. You got to work on the marriage. Even if you have no interest in going out and cheating on the person you love, you still got to put in the work every day to make it a thing that's helpful for both of you.
So I imagine that's what it is. I imagine the I'm not monogamous by nature thing is I know that it's not easy to be married. I know that that's not something you can take for granted for a variety of reasons, but who knows? I saw this story and I liked it. A Easter cake went viral because it's terrifying.
I know this is radio, not TV or anything, so you can't see it, but it really looks like a, you know, terrified. Cake of a lamb that should not exist in our society. The lamb itself looks afraid, is what I'm trying to say. It's got eyes that are too big, things that seem to be going on in the eyelid area, teeth that are creepy, a nose that's creepy. It's a horrifying version of a cake.
If you bought this and put it down in a table for your family, they would all be worried about you and the baker who made it.
So I love that that's uniting people, that more people are saying crazy things about it. And then finally, one last thing. Apparently, a 1979 disco hit is going viral. Ring My Bell by Anita Ward, because people on social media are saying this brings you fame and fortune if you play it on a loop every day. It's a quote Matrix hack.
This is the song people are talking about.
Okay. Yeah, that's enough of that. They say if you play this every day, every morning in your house, you might have fame, fortune, and a bunch of good stuff. I don't get that at all. But anyway, it's a song that I totally forgot existed, and now I remember.

This is the Danish show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of snuff out there to talk about. President Trump gave a press conference on Iran today.
By and large, the press conference focused on, at least at the beginning of it, the successful saving of military men and women that were left behind enemy lines after a craft was downed, an aircraft was downed. We did a lot of things to save the lives of two people. This is a generically good story that mainstream media can't seem to understand is generically good. President Trump said a couple things. The thing Seeming to get the most viral attention, at least initially after the press conference, was his statement about the entire country of Iran and how it could be just taken out.
Overnight, and that might be tomorrow on Tuesday, where something were to happen that is a deadline the president has given to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or else face a whole lot of negative things that you don't want to face. Here's that moment very quick in the press conference that was done earlier today. The entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night. Again, people are really reacting to the simple statement of that while going through a lot of the discussion of how successful of a military campaign we had in saving the lives of military people that we didn't want to lose and how interesting that whole discussion was.
Now, there was another moment that I thought was important that isn't getting a whole lot of coverage a lot of places. This is when President Trump revealed that leaked sensitive information was given to a media outlet so that they could tell us that one of the two members of the aircraft that was downed had not been saved yet.
So, this is very obviously national security issues. If a news organization is told that a military operation is currently being conducted to try to save an American life, And that person is still behind enemy lines, even if the enemy is not totally aware that that's true. This has a negative impact on the amount of success, the potential for success in the mission as a whole. A bunch of other things are a problem here. I thought this was a really captivating minute or so of a mention and what Trump said, President Trump said he's going to do.
They're going to go after the leaker and they're going to hold some people accountable, even if that's through a court of law. And as you probably know, we didn't talk about the first one for. An hour, and then somebody leaked something, which we'll hopefully find that leaker. We're looking very hard to find that leaker, and talked about there's somebody missing. They basically said that We have one and there's somebody missing.
Well, they didn't know there was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information.
So, whoever is, we think we'll be able to find it out because we're going to go to the. Media company that released it, and we're going to say, national security, give it up or go to jail. And We know who, and you know who we're talking about. 'Cause some things you can't do. Because when they did that, all of a sudden The entire country of Iran knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land that was fighting for his life.
And it also made it much more difficult for The pilots and for the people going in to search for him. Yeah, this is very obvious. This is very simplistic as far as the discussion goes. If you are a media company and if you're told during an ongoing military operation that something may be true, someone is leaking information to you, which I think you only have so much ability to authenticate that it's accurate because oftentimes leaked information is actually untrue. But if they were to tell you this, well, the country is still conducting the operation to try to save a person's life and you say that they're still not rescued yet, you're absolutely giving valuable intel to the enemy.
The other side is like, oh, okay, if we thought that maybe the U.S. had already successfully saved both people, now we know one of them is still somewhere in our country and we can do whatever we weren't doing, whatever that might have been. Maybe comm had started because Iran had believed both people were saved and we were doing something, you know, in a. A not loud way that had to become louder once the fighting ramped back up. I don't know what happened.
I just know that there's a myriad of issues that come from reporting on something like that while it is occurring. And I hope that Trump does find whoever is accountable for that. And I hope he does hold people accountable and throw them in jail. You know, it's interesting to say it this way. Because I am technically a member of the media.
I fill in on this show. I have my own radio show in Houston that I do, the Craig Collins show, which you can check out all over podcasting if you want to. But anyway, Every time I hear.
Someone like President Trump says that they might hold a media company accountable for doing something that's actually wrong. I get a lot of reactions from media people saying that this is silencing of media. Whether it's Jimmy Kimmel and all the things that made him upset, whoever it might be, there's people out there that say media has to be untouchable in order for media to be able to do its job. And that's not even remotely true, honestly. It's not.
You have to have some level of accountability across the board for everybody, especially these media companies who don't seem to care if they report lies or the truth, if they use narratives to spin opinion, et cetera, et cetera. There is a moment when these companies will absolutely go beyond whatever line they're supposed to not cross and do something highly illegal. And this feels like that moment. It feels like that instance where you put the life of a military individual in jeopardy by needing to report something quickly that was leaked to you that shouldn't have been leaked to you. You caused a lot of issues that you didn't need to cause for reasons I can't even really understand.
To be honest, if I were within that company and being told that we were getting this leaked information during an ongoing military campaign, it would have been obvious to most people in a room who have any level of media training whatsoever, even none. I imagine at this point, it would be obvious to people with zero media training that they should sit on that story, that they shouldn't talk about that or discuss that at all until they know definitively that the U.S. military campaign is over. And yet they didn't do that because they don't care. All right.
Other things out there. I want to play this. This is President Trump talking about the Easter egg hunt at the White House. I like this. I know this is totally different, but I couldn't help it.
He mentioned how much lower prices are on eggs now compared to what they were. There are so many things that you forget that are successes for this president that the media was obsessed with that they then stopped talking about. The price of eggs right now is $250 per dozen. At a high, it was over six bucks per dozen of eggs, which was a terrible price and a Biden egg price, et cetera, that people complained about. But Trump's in office.
Now prices are $250 and people don't want to talk about this. President Trump brought it up yesterday at the White House while celebrating Easter. I thought this was pretty fun. When I first got elected, my first news conference with the fake news, a lot of fake news here today. But I had a news conference and.
The first question, what are you going to do about eggs, sir? I said, what's wrong with eggs? I just got this. My second day in office at a news conference. And they were screaming at me, what am I going to do about eggs?
And I said, well, it's like, tell me what's wrong with eggs. The price was so high, it was four times higher than it was a year before. I said, well, that sounds like a problem. Let me think about it. And Brooke Rollins, our great Secretary of Agriculture, she got involved.
We all got involved. They didn't want me, as you know, just last year, it's hard to believe, they didn't want me to order eggs for the Easter egg roll, the Easter egg hunt that we have here every year. They wanted me to use plastic. I said, I'm not using plastic. We'll get it solved.
And within a short period of time, eggs came down. They came down 40%, 50%. And by the time we got there, we had so many eggs we didn't know what to do with them. I love so much of this. I know this seems weird.
And you have an Easter bunny standing behind the president, like a guy in an Easter Bunny costume. I'm just sort of like looking around. I can't see what his actual face is doing, his blank expression on the costume with the smile on it. He's just turning his head back and forth like, yeah. We're talking about eggs right now, but he's right.
This is true. Prices were six bucks.
Now, as I said, they're $250. They're down a tremendous percent compared to what they were before, which it's just amazing to think about how those successes are no longer the focus of media because they're not beneficial to the current narrative. All right, let's play one other thing. This is not President Trump. This is an Assistant Attorney General talking about the likelihood that Mamdani is breaking some laws with his racial equity plan that expressly prioritizes black and brown New Yorkers above white New Yorkers.
This seems bad from a racial standpoint. Let's play a little bit of this. And while today's true cost of living measure confirms that the affordability crisis touches every corner of our city, we know that these effects are not applied evenly.
So often it is black and brown New Yorkers who are hit the hardest. This preliminary racial equity plan is the first step in developing a whole of government approach to tackling that reality. It is a plan that lays out these first steps to solve decades of neglect and discrimination, and it places the work of 45 city agencies within a singular framework. Yeah, let's do everything we can to not benefit, to harm white people, and to do it at the, you know, benefit, we claim the benefit of black and brown people. This is not racist.
This is somehow a racial equity plan. The Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights reacted to this, Harmette Dillon, by saying, that sounds fishy and illegal. I'm going to review that. That sounds like that could be bad. Because here's the thing I've said about this before, and I'll say it again.
Politicians need to say the quiet part out loud in the race discussion and not just do the thing that would probably be illegal and bad. And I'm not encouraging them to do it, but it's so funny that they need the political points win.
So they talk about the thing that's evidently racist. Like they just roll out there. They're like, it'll be fine.
Society today, they're totally okay with this. People like this take that white people are terrible and everybody else has been harmed by them and deserves to be treated better now. And who cares if it hurts people that look a certain way because of how they look? This is somehow equity and better and fair because of whatever blank we think is going on in society that may or may not be happening. But I love how often they actually say that out loud.
Katanji Brown Jackson was in the news somewhat recently, last week, for some of the crazy stuff she said. She happens to be a black woman. She's also, of course, a Supreme Court justice. The reason that anyone would tie race and sex to her role in the Supreme Court is because President Biden, who put her up, who nominated her, said he needed to find a black woman in multiple interviews when he was asked who he was going to give the next Supreme Court justice seat to. And it's that moment where you just looked at, like, why would you say that?
I know why you're doing it. I know all the political reasons and whatnot that you're doing these things and the narrative that you're trying to continue to prop up in our society. But what's the need in saying it? Most criminals At least, I guess the successful ones, I don't really talk about the crime that they're committing. And they certainly don't talk about it publicly into a microphone and how important it is to commit the crime.
But the politicians do it all the time. They constantly do this version of, you know, look at me over here. I'm so amazing while I'm doing something that's probably illegal because they think they're getting a political win. That's how little they care about our society, how little they care about me and you, or even doing what's right. This is not the goal of theirs.
The goal of theirs is to have political win, political win, political win, and to do it at the cost of whoever is in front of them, even if that's you, even if that's most of society, as they often do things that don't benefit us at all in Washington, D.C.

Um It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. That's right. It's time for Florida Man on the Dana Show. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and X on Twitter.
A great way to stay connected to her. A Florida Man has gone viral because he likes to cook invasive green iguanas into waffles. I don't know why he's choosing to do waffle. He says it's a chicken and waffle remix. I have some audio, it's a little bit.
Not great. The audio is not of the highest quality, but I want to play a little bit of this of the guy very happily giving you his recipe for iguana and waffle, not chicken and waffle. We're turning this giant iguana into delicious iguana and waffles. Let me show you how to make it. Since iguanas are known as chicken of the trees, recipe and put a spin on a classic dish.
To be honest, I bet you guys couldn't even tell the difference between fried iguana and fried chicken. By the way, I'm going to stop it right there. You see in the video as the guy is cooking the iguana a giant iguana claw that looks nothing like chicken.
So I feel like there's going to be a lot of signs that the thing you're consuming is not actually chicken. It is, in fact, iguana, not just in the taste, but in the visual. But this sounds disgusting. It sounds terrible. And yet it's a typical Florida guy.
He's like, man, these iguanas are all over the place. They're invading in a way that I don't like. Let me not just try to take them out. Let me go ahead and consume them and consume them with waffles. I don't know.
If I had to eat iguana, I don't think I'd do. It with breakfast food. I think that I go a completely different road with this. I think that I assume it's some sort of weird fear factory thing, and I just eat it straight up. I don't try to mask it at all.
I just accept my fate and eat the thing, and then I guess deal with the ramifications of it, whatever they might be. Another one out there: a South Florida man was arrested. For staging a car crash, so he could file a fraudulent insurance claim.
Some people just file the claim. They, you know, crash the car themselves, I guess, into their wall at their house, into their garage or something. I don't know how they do it. I don't know how this works. I can't make it better for you.
But this guy went a step quite a bit further. He went out in public. He did the whole thing. He made it a big, giant staged event. I think he even called police in so he'd have a police report.
And they very quickly realized that it was all fake, that it wasn't real. The vehicle actually sustained $12,000 worth of damage.
So it was absolutely a car that was crashed. And then also I think he had a passenger that had said they had a neck injury, although that part fell apart quite a bit when challenging it. But the South Florida man apparently didn't stage it well enough. There's not enough screeching tires and these sort of things that show that you're actually trying not to create an impact with.
Something that you crashed into, it shows that you kind of slowly drove into it as opposed to quickly. And then, as I said, with brakes and whatnot. But I love how easy it is to figure this stuff out and how poor of an attempt it was by the guy to do it. Because again, if you want to just call your insurance company and say you got an offender bender or something or you hit a poster something somewhere, I think you can just do that. I think you can just send them the information, say that you have the damage to the vehicle and there's no police report and try to get paid.
And then your insurance goes up. I don't think you actually need to stage the entire thing, but who knows? Maybe that's different insurance company to insurance company. I've never tried to commit this fraud, so I don't actually know. And then finally, one last thing.
A Naples man was accused of terror threats. He was arrested after a day-long standoff. This is crazy. 60-year-old Peter Hooker is the guy's name. He was at an apartment complex in Florida.
He said that he was threatening to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting. And acts of terrorism, which is a felony. After a long standoff, no one was hurt, and eventually they apprehended this man. Absolutely a piece of crap in one sense, but also, I imagine, just another day at the office for Florida cops. They're like, What are you responding to today, Bill?
And Bill's like, Ah, man, I got to go to this apartment complex and wait for this guy to surrender who says he's going to commit a terrorist act. Because, darn it, Florida's got crazy people all over the place. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. Dee Lash, Dana Lash Radio X on Twitter. A great way to stay connected to her.
A woman in Los Angeles called for Waymo. The vehicle showed up and then barreled through a drive-through going the wrong way. I find that hilarious first and foremost. My favorite part, though, about the story is the woman still got it. Like the AI piloted, anyone who doesn't know what these vehicles are, they don't have drivers, computer-piloted cars, driverless vehicles.
So it went the wrong way through a drive-thru. I don't think anybody actually was impacted by that. No cars were in any kind of accident. The woman gets in with her son, and then the son documents the experience of the Waymo not starting off great. I'll say it this way.
If I called an Uber and a human driver drove the wrong way through a drive-through while picking me up at a restaurant, I would call a different Uber. I'd be like, I don't think this guy's ready to drive. Apparently, because it's a computer, the woman was like, eh, it'll be fine.
So my mom ordered this Waymo, right? Tell me why the Waymo done went through the drive-thru the wrong way. Way, wait, you got to go through the drive-through the other way. My bad, bro. God, mom, be safe.
You can't park here. Yeah, mom, be safe. You can't park here. Great responses to that, too. Mom still got in.
And the kids still let her. I think that's a failure for the son as much as anybody else. Again, if my mother were getting in a vehicle where someone just made a pretty obvious and silly mistake, whether it were a computer or a human, I'd probably be like, you know what? I want mom to actually show up to the place alive.
So we're going to go with another one. We're going to move on from this one. But I love that that went viral more and more often. I see these vehicles all over Houston with the crazy amount of. Like spinning additional thing.
I don't know what those other things are for on the car. Is it just supposed to make it look like more of a machine and not a man? Are all those spinning lights and other things somehow beneficial? I assume it's somehow beneficial to the car. I haven't cared enough to look it up, and I don't want to know because I already don't like the idea of this.
I never want to be driven around by a robot. I just don't personally. I'd rather drive myself or be driven by another human. I'm not going robot. That's just me.
All right. I want to play other audio too. This is an Irish guy who went viral on Instagram. He is very excited about the Artemis II launch and the likelihood of additional astronauts landing on the moon because I think he believes at some point in his lifetime, he's going to live on the moon.
So I want to play this audio because I did like this. We're saying we're going to start colonizing the moon by 2030, and the Irish have never got to colonize anything before. It's our turn.
So they're going to start landing habits. That people can live on. NASA, I present to you Mooney's Irish Barn. You're up there on the moon with your little astronaut soon on you. You're feeling lonely.
It's time to get pissed. NASA, feel free to get in touch if you need any further information. He can't wait, this Irish guy, to get drunk on the moon. And that's probably my favorite thing I've heard from anybody that went viral in a while. Because, yeah, let me just say it this way: this is a way for me to reach across the ocean and to be friendly with our neighbors, no matter where they are, north, south, east, and west.
If we were to ever live on the moon, if anybody were to ever actually put up habitats that in my lifetime or his were capable of doing it, I'll buy the first drink and I'd love to get hammered on the moon with other people. Like that sounds amazing and probably also terrible. Because if you ever felt like it was too difficult to say, walk home or do any sort of traveling, even if you're in a Waymo or something else after a night out drinking, just think of all the ways. That could go uniquely bad on the moon compared to anywhere else. But all right, quick break, a lot more.

This is a job for Indeed Sponsored Jobs. And now, all of the news you would probably miss, 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. Great ways to stay connected to her.
Yes, I still think of it as both X and Twitter at Radio Craig C. If you want to follow me, and it shows that I still think of it as Twitter with how often I use the platform, but I'd love more followers.
So, darn it, I'm going to keep saying it. Non-alcoholic champagne is on the rise. This is not because, say, people who struggle with something like alcoholism still want to get a sense of a taste for a product. That has often been the main reason that non-alcoholic beverages exist. But a little while ago, Gen Zer specifically decided they wanted to drink the stuff just because they don't want to drink alcohol.
Here's the question I have: and I mean this legitimately: why? I don't know how to say that different. If you're not going to consume something that has alcohol in it, I feel like there are better options. Most people on social media who talk about non-alcoholic champagne describe it as sad soda. That's what they're describing it as, because it's not as good as just having a different carbonated beverage that exists in a mass quantity that doesn't have to mimic the taste of an alcoholic beverage without the sweet, sweet deliciousness of alcohol.
I just, I don't get any part of this. I think it's very odd. I understand people who, again, struggle with things like alcoholism choosing to drink some of these to help them cope with not drinking alcohol. I don't know why so many young people are proud of doing something that's uniquely more expensive than soda and also tastes way, way worse. I saw a story about airlines cutting the price of long haul trips.
This is to encourage more people to fly, especially the longer trips we might take in our society. Even as gas prices are up and the cost of flights are uniquely higher than maybe they're usually going to be, airlines are trying to combat that because empty flights don't benefit anybody.
So they're trying to lower the price on some of those trips. I'd encourage you to take the longer flight you might not plan on taking, mostly because you can go somewhere closer. It'll be fine. It'll be okay. I do love that.
Archaeologists found a 2,100-year-old bullet in Israel with sarcastic messages to enemies. I thought this was kind of cool. The archaeologist said that there was something written onto the message, onto the 2,100-year-old bullet that seemed to be disparaging the people they were fighting. And I thought that was kind of uniquely funny. I think it's sort of a crazy thing when we see it in our current society, insane people carving messages.
And whatnot onto bullets. But if it's that old and all the people involved are long gone, something about it feels different to me. And especially if you're actually at war and writing something on your old version of a bullet then. But talk about a weird discovery for the archaeologists, too. To be finding some sort of, you know, demonstration of conflict from so long ago, be digging it up, to be interested in it, to see some writing on it, and maybe even wonder, like, I wonder what that is.
I wonder how there's writing on it. And then to find out it's just a guy making sarcastic jokes.
Something about that makes me very happy because of who I am as a person. That a potentially sarcastic, a dumb joke could last 2,100 years and come back as a thing that people talk about later. I find that to be uniquely hilarious. And then finally, a New York City comedian has the quote perfect solution for millennials experiencing a midlife crisis. He says that he's among people who are of a certain age.
I am 40 that are feeling this. And his response is: do something new. Anything new. Don't buy a brand new ridiculous vehicle. Don't spend more money than you can or, you know, put some sort of decision into your life that's going to make things worse for you.
Just pick up a hobby, do something new of any kind, and you'll probably be happier and you'll have that rekindling feeling of being younger. I love that. That most people now, apparently, in their 40s, are struggling with this thing that any older generation is going to make fun of us for. Allergy season always has a way of sneaking up on you.
