My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A whole lot of stuff out there to talk about. Hopefully, you had a good Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully, you had a reflective Memorial Day weekend.
Many of us think about. The men and women that give their lives for us on that day. I thought it was interesting that a gold star widow. Asked people to remember her husband, and that several members of our political system, Tulsi Gabbard among them, I think Pete Hagseth too, decided to go honor Staff Sergeant Alan Shaw at Arlington National Cemetery because his widow, Cheryl, asked us to do this. I thought this was a really cool story.
Fox was talking about it this morning. Yeah, there were cameras. Yeah, people took photos of themselves doing something which might give them political points. But I don't know if I care about that. I don't know if that matters because what matters to me is that they're remembering someone who gave his life for this country because his widow asked us to, which was a really cool, emotional thing that she did.
And I'm really glad that it actually. Had a benefit to it. Here's a little bit of this audio. And Tulsi Gabbard sees this and says, I'm going into action on it. She said it was an honor to visit your husband's grave today on your behalf and to pay my respects.
It was wonderful to see the beautiful flowers representing many others who did the same. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and to the loved ones they left behind. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. In the picture, what she's doing there, you can't see it because it's from a little back, but she's setting her challenge coin, her DNI challenge coin, and she left it there. Yeah, it's really, really cool to me again that people take up individuals who ask for things like this.
Pete Hagseth also showed up there. But Cheryl Shaw said that she wanted her. Staff sergeant, military widow, military husband remembered, and many, many members of the military say this. They simply want to be remembered, or they want their friends, the lost. To be remembered, to be honored, that it keeps them going, that it keeps them.
There in some way or shape or form in people's lives.
So I just thought this was really, really cool and wanted to start the show that way. All right, we're moving on to the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. He gave an answer on a potential deal with Iran. Over the weekend, you heard some rumblings. Of the idea that there was something maybe even agreed to mostly, like predominantly in principle, certain things were acknowledged by both the US and Iran.
And then by Sunday, we heard that's not true. And the President is saying that there's no need to rush. into a deal. We don't need to do that until the deal is the right one for us. I do agree with that.
I know that a lot of people feel like what you probably want right now is this to end as quickly as possible. But if it ends in a a way that's not good for us, then the whole reason to go in is pretty much muted and that's worse than waiting for something to turn out better, in my opinion. But here we go. Here's a little bit of audio of Marco Rubio answering this question. I think there's strong alignment and agreement on what a preliminary draft should look like.
I think like anything with something like this, and it's going to take a couple days to settle on even down to the disagreements over a word, sentence.
So we'll have to work through that. If there's going to be a deal, we're going to have to work through that. But this is, you know, it's either going to be a good deal or there isn't going to be one. Yeah, it's either going to be a good deal or we're not going to do it. Essentially meaning that you're giving us your enriched uranium or we're not going to do this.
We're not going to punt that part for 30 or 60 days. which was part of what the rumor was. That there was an agreement in principle that Both the United States and Iran said they were going to renegotiate getting rid of enriched uranium, getting the prevention mechanism in place to stop Iran from ever having a nuclear weapon. That part was still a little bit of time away. That definitely did not seem to be an okay thing.
That definitely seemed to be very, very bad, to say the very least. Another thing out there, I talked about it a little bit when I was filling in for Dana on Friday. I'll do it again today. The mayoral candidacy of Spencer Pratt. is just so fun.
in my opinion, because it's making all the right people mad. It's the kind of thing that when you're over the target, you know you're over it because of the reaction, not necessarily if you actually win this thing. Will Pratt actually become the next mayor in LA? I don't know. He's polling in second place right now.
You would think the answer might be no, but he's continued to surprise people because he says these things that most people agree with. And when he's asked questions about whether he's mismanaged his own money or not, He says he hasn't done any worse than Democrats have done with your money when they've been in power, and he's right about that. He also fired back at Mayor Karen Bass and others for some of the things they've said. Here's a little bit of his ABC 7 interview where he was taking shots based on some of the things they've been saying about him, being inexperienced, being reckless financially, and maybe not being someone they can trust. How could he be any worse than what's currently in charge?
The reality is, when you run for mayor, every single one of my apps since I announced, any app, any social media has to be demonetized. You make no money. I can't sell. My business before this was selling crystals the way they make, I can't be holding up crystals and saying shop here. I can't even promote my wife's music, which it pays for my kids' food, my wife's music, and helping support, promoting her music.
I can't be all day long posting her beautiful videos of her doing her music. I don't even talk about now how you brought it up because you're asking, my book came out. I haven't done one book event now. I never get to go out and talk about my book. Anything that I can make money off, you can't make money when you're running for mayor.
So nobody besides these opposition liars spread that because they know I'm not making any money for this. And this isn't fun. You know, having people attack you all day long isn't like a fun clout. You know, I was having a lot of fun feeding hummingbirds, going live on TV. TikTok, being with my kids, and then they burned my house down in my town.
So, if we're going to talk about anything, I would like to go back to when I had a house and my parents had a house. And I'll take that simple version of clout that was a lot more fun than I have right now. I kind of really love when he's like, you know, I would take back my house if you think that I'm somehow benefiting from running for this office because I'm not right now. He did kind of hard sell his wife's different things that she's doing out there in the world. photography and whatnot.
And then his book. He he threw some things out there that he said that you might want to look into. But he was asked the question and he gave the answer. And I do agree with him that he's financially better off not running for office than running. It's true every single time they say that.
about some well-off person who decides to run for office. They're never doing better during well, unless they're a Democrat and then they're insider trading. Eventually they're doing better. But at least in the campaign process part, they're not supposed to be doing better. And by and large, this winds up being true for a lot of Republicans out there who make far more money not running for office than running.
So I just find that to be pretty interesting. I find that to be pretty significant when you're talking about exactly what Spencer is getting out of this. And he is. Also, waking a lot of people up, if that's even the right term anymore, because I think they're somewhat awake, but demonstrating how these common sense things can be valuable and important to him, to them, to anyone out there in any capacity whatsoever, to be entirely honest. Let's also play this.
This is a brand new thing that's been changed by the Trump administration when it comes to a green card and your access to a green card. This is a totally different topic, but I think that this is probably a big story and a potentially growing story as people understand it better. Here's a little bit of news update on that. For non-citizens living in Minnesota and elsewhere, getting a green card, becoming a lawful permanent resident, may have gotten just a little bit harder. What is this going to mean for a lot of folks who are trying to just stay in the United States?
It is a. potentially seismic shift in how This process is done. That new memo by the Trump administration requires foreigners who want a green card to leave and apply in their home country. Formerly, applicants could do that in the U.S. Legal experts say the change could have a big impact on the 10,000 to 15,000 people in Minnesota seeking green cards.
At every floor, at every stage, They're tightening up everything. They're turning over old legal rocks. That haven't been looked under in 40 years. Look, here's the thing: what they're doing, whether it impacts some people who are doing everything by the book or not. is removing the avenues for fraud.
Because we're seeing ridiculous amounts of this. We're seeing people who apply for green cards while living here in the United States apply for asylum, apply for all kinds of things. They have no actual shot at getting, just to elongate a process of not leaving. And so I do think it's an interesting seismic shift. For the Trump administration to say that if you want a green card in order to obtain one, if you're already in the United States and you don't have a right to be here, that you should leave.
And then you can apply for your green card while you're not here, and then you're allowed to come back. Once you get it, you should essentially not try to jump the line, skip the line by being here the entire time and misusing it in all the ways that they do. Many, many people do. There are people that follow the rules that wind up being impacted negatively by some of the things that are coming out, some of these things. But by and large, if you're solving a problem, you accept some of the potential fallout from people who should have every ability to come back.
If you have the right to be here and if you have the ability to get your green card, but you don't have it, Then it shouldn't matter if you go get it somewhere else, especially if you're not saying that place is dangerous. You're not even making an asylum claim. You're not saying that there's any reason you can't be wherever it is you're from. You go there, you get the green card, you come back. This doesn't seem, and I know that there's a backlog and there's a way in which this could elongate a process, but if we're removing fraud as the goal, and part of the way we're removing fraud is by making things a little bit harder than they used to be, that doesn't seem bad to me.
This seems to be inherently good. All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. Do you ever notice how the passage of time can change the rules on you?
All right, so maybe there was a time when you could have a couple of drinks at dinner. Go to sleep, wake up, and ta-da, you're ready for the day.

You drank water, you ate dinner, you had a lot of protein, you went to bed at a normal time, you got the full eight hours.

That's right, it's time for a quick five on the Dana Show. D-Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X. Great ways to stay connected to her at Radio Craig Z. If you want to follow some Jamoque who fills in for her occasionally, That would be me. A woman got asked to tip in a place she wasn't expecting it.
I have a little bit of audio of this. I thought this was pretty funny. She was like, How dare you ask me for a tip here? And you know what? She's right.
I go into the Froyo shop, you grab your own cup. You fill your own Froyo. I used Apple Pay, so nobody even had to grab my card. Then the screen goes. How much would you like to tip?
Who would I tip? If anything, the option needs to be, how much would you like to be tipped? No one even had to grab my debit card out of my hand. Nobody did anything. This was self-service from start to finish, which is okay because that's the business model.
Why would I tip the hourly waged employee? Who said, Have a good day as I walked out. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, she sounded a little mean at the end there, right, to the lefties out there when she said hourly wage employee who's working. But no, there's no reason to tip. You shouldn't tip anybody in that situation.
And yet, I'm pretty sure I have. Uh there's some sort of Tipping guilt that takes over, and occasionally you do a thing you regret doing, although you don't do 20%. If you tip somebody for doing no work whatsoever, at least in those scenarios, I feel good about 10 or even 5%, or hopefully none. But I agree with her. I think it's pretty hilarious that she says that she didn't know why the question was being asked.
The app does it. That's the way that they'll blame, that's who they'll blame for that question when no one did any work. One other piece of audio I have. That I also like, Hooters is rebranding. The CEO, his name is Neil, is claiming that this is long overdue and that the establishments got way too sexual, and that was never the intention of a Hooters.
They had taken the Hooters Girls uniforms, over-sexualized it, I call it. The shorts almost turned into thongs. And frankly, that was never the intent of the brand. This was created in 1983 as an escape or an oasis. You know, it's a beach community, it's a beach-themed type of thing here in Clearwater.
So that was very upsetting. And of course, today on social media, when you see pictures of people wearing the uniform, it appropriately affects other markets and affected us.
So we just wanted to rectify, get the brand back to its roots. I call it a rehooterization. You know what's really funny about this? A bunch of the places here in Texas who compete with Hooters and are still succeeding when Hooters is failing, they literally do lingerie days where you show up certain places and women are just wearing lingerie instead of even the outfit at all. But Hooters would like to rebrand.
Now, here's the problem: you might lose some of the customers you currently have who have been with you through some of those times that Neil is describing that are not so great. And it's very unlikely you're going to bring in a new set of customers. Who actually believe the establishment is totally different? Rebranding Hooters seems like a much more challenging thing than just creating a brand new restaurant that's not called Hooters or Hoots or anything like it. But I do find that to be a uniquely funny thing because you got to get women to believe that it's real for them to show up with the dudes who are claiming it's totally different now, honey.
I swear, it's not at all what it used to be. All right, quick break, a lot coming up. This is Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. More in a bit. Our partners over at Native Path, Native Path Collagen.
The collagen is incredibly important. Everybody takes, you know, like calcium supplements. They take. Magnesium, they'll take vitamin D, they take all this stuff. But a lot of people, they don't start looking at collagen until they notice it in their physical being after you turn 30.
Your body produces 1 to 2% less collagen every year. That's the protein that keeps your bones dense, cushions your joints, firms your skin. It's impossible to get it back through diet alone. It lives in animal bones, cartilage, tendons. And so, what NativePath is, it was developed by a doctor, Dr.
Walden, who's a doctor of physical therapy.
So, with his patients, He was trying to source for them clean collagen so he could give that to his patients, but he was having trouble finding actual clean, very good, high-quality collagen. And it is actually a fight because it's a very saturated market and not every collagen is the same.
So he just made one of his own because he was so tired of having to find this stuff. And then somebody would go out of business. He was so mad about it.
So he created his own so he could recommend it to his patients. And that's where Native Path Collagen comes from. It's grass-fed and entirely clean. Dissolves in coffee or water. There's no taste, there's no clumping.
It is legit the first collagen that I've ever tried where it did not. Make the stuff that I put it in have like this chalky taste. It does not have that. And you get tons of benefits, not just healthier-looking skin, better sleep, improved bone density, you know, improved, I mean, your hair growth, your hair is shinier. I mean, everything.
You have 45% off right now waiting for you when you go and purchase at getnativepath.com/slash Dana. Try it risk-free. You get a 365-day money-back guarantee. It's collagen that your body can actually use. Visit getnativepath.com/slash Dana for up to 45% off.

I live in Houston, Texas. I know Dana does her show from Dallas. Texas is very much in the news today. At D Lash at Dana Lash Radio and X, a great ways to stay connected to her too, by the way. She throws that out there all the time.
Her social media is awesome. At Radio Craig Z, if you want less awesome.
Social media, you can follow me too. But a couple different pieces of information from earlier today. Texans were storming to the polls. on election day. Uh which I like.
I'm an election day voter myself. I don't like going and voting early. I don't think we should. I think you should have election days be holidays. Everybody get the day off.
Everybody gets to vote.
Some version of that at least would be nice. I'm not sure if you can get every election day off because we seem to have a lot of them now. But here's a little bit of audio from earlier today of Fox News talking about some of the early results at the poll as far as a turnout goes in Texas in the Senate primary runoff. which inevitably will likely, I think, pick Ken Paxton, Trump's endorsement as the nominee, and then he will face James Tallarico in the November election for the Senate seat here in Texas. Here we go.
A little bit higher. Here we go. Cornyn versus Paxton. And the reason why you have this runoff is because of what happened on the 3rd of March. All right.
Here were the results. Really good race between the two men at the top, but neither achieved 50%. Cornyn edged out Paxton by 26,000 votes. Look at the bottom candidate. That's Wesley Hunt, Congressman, right?
He had about 13.5 percentage points. Where do his voters go? Paxon. There's some polling suggesting they go to Paxton, but you really don't know until the vote is taken. Here's the thing: I'm a Wesley Hunt voter.
I voted for Wesley Hunt. I liked Wesley Hunt a lot. I still do. I think he's a great candidate that should have. In office like Senate at some point in the future, a military guy, a black guy, not that that mattered to me at all, but I know I'm told all the time as a white person that I have to be racist by the left.
So it was weird when I accidentally wasn't, I guess. But nonetheless, he only got 13% of the vote. I think a whole lot of that vote, way more of that vote, goes to Paxson than Cornyn because the establishment politician is the guy that you no longer want. But that's part of the breakdown. I also thought in the answer that Paxson gave.
In some of the media tour that he's doing right now is pretty good. He was begging people to get out and vote, which they are doing. Hopefully, more and more people do it throughout the day today in Texas. But Paxton said this earlier, I think this was this morning, in an interview about how if enough people show up, he's pretty sure he's going to win. I need you to get out and vote because only about 5% to 6% of the registered voters vote.
We want to change something very significant. A guy that's been in office for 20, 42 years, 24 years in the Senate. When I've gone to meetings many I've met with thousands of people, whether it's one-on-one or thousands of people in front of me. I've asked one question. Can you name?
Let's give John Cornyn the entire 42 years that he served in public office. Can you name one good, good being the key word, accomplishment? And do you know that no one in Thousands of people has ever answered that question. No one can tell me what he's accomplished in 42 years. My message is this: take any two weeks I've been attorney general, other than Christmas and Thanksgiving, and I guarantee you, and John can pick the two weeks, I've accomplished more in two weeks, any two-week period than he's done in 42 years.
We need a change. We need somebody that will go represent us and not the swamp, not Mitch McConnell, not the Washington establishment. Yeah, and not do all the easy votes and then the hard ones. The thing about Ken Paxson as an attorney general is he took a lot of hard fights and he took them about as far as you can possibly take them, which was a good thing. For a whole lot of us here in this country, and not necessarily at all, again, what actually happened the second time around.
So, I think that most important in any discussion about what happens in Texas or what's happened in a bunch of other races where the Trump endorsement has won a primary against someone who seemed like a more established politician is what do we actually get? What does the representation do for us? And if you do a lot of easy votes, especially in a place like in Texas. Where the easy voting is something that we assume any Republican politician is capable of doing that, it doesn't get you any brownie points. I'll be honest, one of the discussions that's been Prominent throughout this whole run to this primary day here in Texas.
I'm at KSEV Radio, a soon-to-be affiliate of the Dana Show. We're very happy to welcome her back to our airwaves in the very near future. And I'm thrilled to be doing the show just a little bit early from our KSEV studios here for her today. But anyway, one of the things that I think has been the biggest conversation from Texans. Is how you don't actually get credit for the stuff that Cornyn has done because it was easy to do.
And you are a rhino politician in a place like Texas when you fail at some of the biggest questions, the ones that matter most, like gun rights to Texans, like border security. These are things that matter to this state. And the assumption that we are predominantly conservative in the way in which we're run is simply a byproduct of the amount of people that are voted into power beyond the senators that we send to Washington who do things that the vast majority of Texans want.
So I don't think that's a win there. And I think Paxton is doing a great job in saying what is the victory, what is the thing, the accomplishment that he himself can take credit for. Did he vote? With Republicans, 60, 70% of the time, 80%, depending on the year you ask to look into, yes, he did vote. More often than not, the 80% and 90% is when you have a Republican president.
When you have a Democratic president, it falls down to 60. But again, those numbers just aren't good enough anymore for the everyday American people, for the Texas people, I should say. And so we want to see new things. I do think. I'll say something a little bit differently.
I do think there is a fight. Um between the political parties To find ways to placate some of the extremism that might exist on both sides. What I mean by that is there are people that have Very extreme views that are conservatives, that are liberal, and what you do to placate those individuals, what you do to mold your message to include people that are on the far right or far left and not exclude them while not actually creating policies that by and large reflect their sensibilities, finding ways to do things that are more mass appeal within your side of the political aisle. I think Democrats are absolutely failing at this. I think that by and large, the things that they are most known for right now are things that come entirely from the fringes.
And I think the things that. Are most defining of conservatives right now are things that come from the middle of the aisle. Things like border security, which actually mattered to a whole bunch of Democrats when you had a Democrat in office who flung the border door wide open. These things matter to everybody, our economy. It matters a lot to everyone.
And yes, you can say that the war in Iran is not helping. The economy and not helping gas prices right now. But I do think, as you say that, and you see some of the other data that's coming out. And I played earlier in the show of ways that Americans are actually hopeful of our economic possibilities in the near future. One of the things that it's most showing to me, or most showing to anyone that's paying attention is that you believe that that conflict is going to end.
That the conflict in Iran will not be another forever war, and that whenever it does end, it will hopefully be the catalyst to a lot of really great things happening very quickly. And actually, you know, there's no better way to ram home this message that people are sick of. The political crap from the fringes, and much more interested in things that Some might describe as in the middle. And Spencer Pratt. I'm going to play some audio of Spencer Pratt, too, because I've continued to be amused and enjoy.
His mayoral candidacy and his attempt to be the mayor in LA, whether it happens or not, I don't know. I'm not sure that it will. I think Los Angeles is too far gone to elect someone saying some common sense things. But I love one of the biggest shots in him now is since he's a um A reality star and a famous person who's probably spent some money inappropriately that he shouldn't have spent the way he's chosen to do certain things, that he couldn't possibly run a government budget well. He would absolutely have to fail there because he's made personal mistakes.
I find that to be hilarious as an idea. Let's play a couple pieces of audio from Spencer, one in which he's talking about how he makes absolutely no money from the campaign itself, so he is losing money right now running for office, and then the one about How he actually would manage the budget just fine because how could you do worse than the people in charge? But here's the first one: the one about him not making money as a politician. For mayor, every single one of my apps since I announced any app, any social media has to be demonetized. You make no money.
I can't sell my business before this was selling crystals the way they make. I can't be holding up crystals and saying shop here. I can't even promote my wife's music, which it pays for my kids' food, my wife's music, and helping support promoting her music. I can't be all day long. I can't do any of that anymore, man.
I'm losing money. Things are not going as well as they used to be going for us because I decided to run for political office.
So, anyone who says that I'm personally benefiting from this is insane. But even more so than that, they also say that he would fail tremendously to run a government budget. Here's his response to that. Because you've been open about some of your struggles financially in the past. I never had $15 billion.
I never had struggles. I had choices. But managing money. Let's be clear. My money, not taxpayer money.
But $15 billion budget that you will have to manage as elected mayor. I just want to know for the citizens of Los Angeles, how can they trust you with? That $15 billion. I'll tell them this. Right now, we have Mayor Bass.
She just spent $400 million to house 1,400 people. I could hire 10 better accountants that I probably have on my phone that can make sure we take $400 million and we don't waste it on. Hundred people.
So, this idea that I don't have these trends, we live under their failed experience of managing the budget. Councilman Rahman is in charge of this homeless housing complex. And they've done a terrible job. Honestly, you can make this argument anywhere in the country, not just L.A., although it's probably uniquely powerful there. The Democrats with control of the purse have done a horrible, horrible job at spending your money wisely.
I mean, look at Minnesota, for example, and Elon Omar and how far she's running away from the fraud that she's probably a part of and that they're trying to investigate right now. It's just amazing. And so, yeah, would a reality TV star who's made questionable decisions about his own financial life be any worse than the people who are currently in charge in politics? No, I do not think they would be. And in fact, might actually be better.
Because I doubt he'd egregiously spend as much money on himself as Democrats do when they embezzle and steal and do all that other stuff. But anyway, I just thought that was funny. And Spencer Pratt continues to say some quiet things out loud that need to be said out loud that seem to be fairly common sense. And the left is so upset that he's actually gaining traction with a voter in Los Angeles because you can't have one of your core deep blue places overrun by horrible, terrible people who think opposite things. Do you ever notice how the passage of time can change the rules on you?
All right, so maybe there was a time when you could have a couple of drinks at dinner. Go to sleep, wake up, and ta-da, you're ready for the day.
Now if you so much as have a glass of wine and look at one more, you're dead. You're foggy. You wake up tired, unmotivated, your skin looks horrible. You didn't do anything crazy, right? You drank water, you ate dinner, you had a lot of protein, you went to bed at a normal time, you got the full eight hours.

Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. Police officers and their union are upset with a guy in Houston who sent video and I think complained about Houston Police Department officers that were doing donuts somewhere. I found a lot of things funny about this story. I live in Houston.
That probably is one of them. But here's audio. Of both the dude, his name is Hammond Brown. And then the police union president, his name is Doug Griffin, having a conversation about donuts and police officers. And if somebody just snitched on them, they should have just left them alone.
Yeah, look at HPD, man. Look, they're out here doing donuts, man. We're human. We like to have a good time just like they do. He took it a little serious, and then things may have gone off the rails a little bit.
Just leave me alone. I don't want no problems. They can't do what he does in public. And then turn around and call out others. It's really messing with me because y'all are posting all my business on social media.
Like, y'all are doing a lot to me, and y'all really getting me scared. Like, because I ain't did nothing, I ain't did nothing wrong. Y'all was in the wrong. They know what they did was wrong. It's been taken care of.
For the public to be concerned about complaining on police officers, you can complain all you want. We don't go hunting people to take a plane on police officers. That's not what we do. What the guy, Hammond Brown, who I kind of like the way he sounds, was saying is that the police officers are kind of going after him on social media for being a snitch and for telling on them. And I do like the beginning audio from the police union president, Doug, who says, We're human beings too.
We might do donuts occasionally. And I think this was actually a while ago, this video from when it snowed in Houston. This is over a year ago now. It wasn't this past winter. It was the one before it.
But I just find that to be uniquely funny. And people are human, man. They do make decisions based on all kinds of certain things, as we're all aware. And sometimes. police want to do donuts.
I think the only problem would be if they're then arresting a guy a little bit later for doing the same donuts. Here's what I would do: if I saw police doing this, I'd pull my vehicle in and I'd start doing some tricks too, because they gotta think that it's okay if I'm doing it, if they're doing it right or not. I don't know. But I would not be sending videos places and complaining and then getting in a lot of trouble. You don't need to make enemies of police officers.
Probably not a good move. Another piece of audio that's going viral, this is Russell Crowe. He walked outside of a hotel. A bunch of fans were there. I think he was trying to catch a flight.
But he actually signed a bunch of people's stuff. Like he gave a bunch of autographs, but he addressed the crowd first in a way that some are unhappy with. I don't think this is terrible. Russell Crowe took it upon himself to tell the crowd to act human before he signed any autographs for them. And if they got uppity, well, he would leave.
Here's a little bit of that autograph. Are you listening? Say where you are. Push in on me, I'll come to you. Everybody's space.
As soon as somebody's in, as soon as somebody's a bleep bad word, he'll go ahead and leave. I stopped it when he would say another word. I think we're allowed to say that one on the air, too, by the way, but we're not. But if that happens, he'll leave. Otherwise, he'll sign everybody's stuff.
Then he went on to sign a whole bunch of people's stuff.
So, I kind of like this version of a thing. Don't push up on me. Stay where you are. I'll come to you guys, and then I'll leave for my flight. I don't need security.
I don't need anyone else to do this. The criticism is that he should have had staff or some other person that works for him handle this part of the process. He shouldn't have done it himself. And I do think that's kind of. Ridiculous.
I think that it was much easier to handle it this way, the way that he handled it, and boom, bada bing, you're done, it's over, everybody got their autograph. Did he seem like the nicest guy? No. Was he in a somewhat stressful situation? Probably the answer to that is yes.
I don't know. I would not mind this, especially if I wanted the dude's autograph bad enough. To stand wherever he told me to stand until he came to me. One last thing that I thought was kind of funny: the Rolling Stone put out a list of the things that are. The greatest achievements by the United States of America.
These are stupider achievements, I would assume, than the things we actually should be known for on an international stage. But here are some of the things that Rolling Stone said we deserve credit for: Snoopy, that's right, Charlie Brown and his dog, Bodegas, game show hosts. The Black Power movement was actually on this list, which is kind of crazy. The Chevy 454 pickup truck, guitar solos, folk music, Amtrak, and backyard hoops. Those are some of the things they thought the U.S.
was proud of. I'm proud of some of the things on that list. Not all of them, Rolling Stone. But thanks for saying that's what we deserve to be known for. Quick break, a lot more.
Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. All right, folks.
So I want to tell you about something that actually works. This is the world's number one expanding garden hose and their newest upgrade. It's the pocket hose ballistic. I like anything that has the word ballistic after it. I don't have time for cheap, stupid equipment that fails after one season.
I am done fighting with it. I'm done with the kinks, Eric Swalwell. I'm done with the tangles. I'm done with the leaks. I'm done with all of it.
It's a waste of money. It's enraging.
So that's why. The pocket hose ballistic, that's why you need to have this thing because it's built different. I could beat somebody to death with this. It's made, it's reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer.
Now, you don't know what that is, but you do know what it's been used in before: bulletproof vests.
So, that means, my friends, the strength is real, real durability, no nonsense. It's not going to mess up your garden. It's not going to like tie a knot around you. If you're tired of replacing your cheap hose every year, this is your fix. The ballistic is lightweight, it's super easy to handle.
And I like what comes with it. It comes with the pocket pivot.
So, no more fighting the spigot. And ladies, it's gold. Where it moves, you move, you move, it moves. It's so simple. It's smart.
You're done. For a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you're going to get that free. You see it right here: 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Dana to 6430s. That's Dana to 64000 for your two free gifts with purchase.

It's time for Florida Man. That's right, it's time for Florida Man on the Dana show, D Lash, Dana Lash Radio on X. A great ways to stay connected to her. A West Palm Beach man was accused of, well, a whole bunch of breaking and entering damage because he took a chainsaw to a Lake Park store. He was there to steal $12,000 worth of Pokemon cards.
I had no idea they had that much money in Pokemon cards. I know some are worth a ridiculous amount of money, but I thought by and large the majority of them were not. Surveillance video showed the man using a battery-powered chainsaw. You don't even go with the gas-powered one man. Come on.
Uh he cut a triangle into a hurricane-proof Front window. In the process, blood was left behind. The man may have cut himself and harmed himself a few different times. He was initially attempting to break the window with a rock. When that didn't work, Came back with the chainsaw.
That feels very Florida. The guy's name is Clayton Warren. He's 33, and he's been charged with burglary, grand theft. All kinds of things, he's likely to be in a whole lot of trouble. But for a very short amount of time, he had Pokemon cards that also had a lot of blood on them, which may have ruined them forever.
I'm not really sure. Another story out there I saw. In the world of Florida, man, a floating tiki hut Was among two quote illegal charters that had to be terminated by the Coast Guard. People were inside of a floating hut that looked very much like it was meant for a Jimmy Buffett concert, and that's not allowed. You can't just float around in a tiki hut.
The fifty four foot vessel was operating as an illegal small passenger vehicle. The voyage, I love that that's what they describe it, as was terminated. The boat and passengers were all brought back to the beach where they had to go ahead and go their separate ways. My favorite thing about this. Is the idea that somebody is like, you know what, we could do?
We could just ride around on this tiki hut in the water. That can't possibly be wrong. And then the minute that it actually is illegal and wrong, the guy who told you all it was okay probably just puts his hands in the airs and goes, I didn't know that. I thought you could. I thought this was fine.
The answer is no. You can't put anything you want on a floating vessel and just float around in the ocean. That'll get you in a lot of trouble in Florida, too. Although I bet you it was a lot of fun. To be honest, part of me wonders if I would have enjoyed my time on the floating tiki hut before it was pulled over by the cops, because, darn it, it does sound like the kind of thing where, if you know that you're doing something that might be against the law, you might even throw more caution to the wind.
Finally, one last Florida story that I like. It's not a Florida man specifically, but a whole bunch of Florida people. There is an event held every year. This is the sixth annual version of it. The Great Florida Bigfoot Conference.
People will go to Florida. They will have discussions about Bigfoot. There will be a live A Bigfoot hall discussion, I guess, interactive exhibits and displays, a Bigfoot-themed photo opportunity. Not actually Bigfoot, he's kind of shy about that, but other things. The Skunk Ape Row, which will feature vendors, artists.
Researchers, and it sounds like some illegal marijuana. And then finally, and my favorite. Family-friendly attractions and activities. If you have a Bigfoot obsessed person in your family that needs to go to the Florida conference, at least the rest of you can do some fun stuff while you wait for him to stop talking about Bigfoot. Quick break, a lot more.
Greg Collins filling in on the Dana Show. The folks who helped to make the program possible, it's the folks over at Burna Gunn. As you know, I carry, I always carry, I have no problem using lethal force to protect myself or loved ones.

And that's where the Burna comes in.

Ready when you are. One thing about the locker room, it's a mix of everything. Different races, religions, backgrounds, opinions, all of it. And yeah, you argue, you joke around, you disagree constantly. But when it actually matters, you've got each other's backs.
No question. That's just being a good teammate. And honestly, that shouldn't stop when the game ends. But right now, hate is rising across communities in different ways. And Jewish communities are getting hit hard by it.
and hate doesn't stay in one place. It spreads.
So this isn't about agreeing on everything. It's just about showing up for people. The blue square Is a simple way to do that. Just saying, yeah, I'm not cool with hate, go to bluesquarealliance.org. Grab one, share it.
It's not complicated. Just be the kind of teammate you'd want in your corner. Dinner time hit, but your motivation didn't.

That's right, it's time for a quick five on the Dana show. D Lash, Dana Lash Radio, and X. Great ways to stay connected to her and everything she has going on. Let's do this real quick: chess boxing is now a thing in New York. I love the idea of this.
It sounds terrible as far as a thing that people are actually gonna be good at both of. But anyway, you can now work out by doing six rounds of chess and five rounds of boxing at the same time. They're each three minutes long. You're fighting someone else who you hope is equally good at both the things as you are, or terrible at one of the two. To be totally honest, because if you're great at chess, you're gonna hope to win within that first three minutes.
Because if you're bad at boxing, you're about to get the crap kicked out of you, and vice versa. I think that the other alternative could be true too. I think the chess does go first, though. I just thought this was funny. And I'd like to see this be a sport at some point because I'd really like the play-by-play and the color guy to debate what people are better at, the chess or the boxing, before we easily figure it out.
Because in the first six minutes, one round of each, you're gonna know who's better at what. Or, you know, some people are, in fact, good at both.
So maybe just those people compete. Uh joggers. Are debating a man's complaint that he put up on social media. I thought this was weird. A guy said that while he's running, if he sees another runner and they run by him, he usually does like a half smile or a little wave.
And by and large, dudes who run by him seem to acknowledge it. They don't always like return the courtesy, but they at least do some sort of acknowledgement. He said, for the most part, women run straight past him, eyes locked forward, no acknowledgement whatsoever. And people online are claiming this is something women have to do to protect themselves. This is a way to keep themselves safe while jogging outdoors around horrible, terrible people that, in fact, apparently are dudes.
I think that there is a difference between seeing someone run by you with a like half-hearted wave or something and a smile as they're running to with no interest in trying to engage or talk to you and someone who's doing something very different.
So the excuse here is that you can be rude to everybody because somebody out there might have an ulterior motive.
However, that might be, that might even be just to try to talk to a person as opposed to do anything worse. But I thought this was kind of insane that they say this is the only way for women to protect themselves from being harmed while running. Because if you're nice to the wrong person, that can be bad for you. It's true of. Anyone in any situation, that if you're unlucky enough to be around someone who does something horrible, that might in fact be unavoidable, unpreventable.
I don't think the lack of the wave. Is the big difference maker, just personally to me. And I think deciding that all men are horrible, terrible people who you can't wave back at while running at you is a uniquely terrible thing to think. But nonetheless, people are debating this and actually defending the women for not acknowledging the guy because they don't know anything or whatever they need to know about this guy, so they can't trust him. One last thing out there, maybe we'll talk about it more in a little bit, but a seven-year-old whose middle name is nicknamed Danger just scaled a 7,600-foot mountain to do something that we didn't do.
