That's right, this is the Dana show. My name is Craig Collins, filling in at Radio Craig C. If you want to find me out there in social media, if you want to follow someone fancy and awesome that does great things in social media, at D Lash, Dana Lash Radio, that's a much better place. Either or, well, actually, both is probably the right decision. And then we can all be envious of how awesome Dana is together.
All right, let's do this. CNN, one of many places, admitting that the jobs report is way better. I almost wanted to say a bad word there, but it is way the bleep better than people thought it would be, which is a good sign for our economy. It means the president is asking the Fed to lower interest rates because they should have already been lowered and I'd like them to be lower. But here, here's a little bit of this story.
Well, Omar, we're seeing that this roller coaster job market bounced back and raced back to life in a big way last month. And this should ease some of those concerns about the labor market.
So the U.S. economy adding 162,000 jobs last month, that more than doubled the consensus forecast, which was for a gain of just 65,000. In fact, this is the most jobs that the economy has added in a month since March. Uh-oh, things are going well. How dare they go actually in a good direction?
How dare anyone be happy with anything that President Trump is doing? If you're mainstream media, you definitely will resist at all costs. But this is good news, of course. And I do like the fact that a lot of this is also baked into the amount of manufacturing jobs that are coming back to our country. Because of that, people are building factories.
These are good things. Again, I'll say it very simplistically. And then I also love something that Scott Besant is out there saying: the Treasury Secretary, not just highlighting the good work. being done and the jobs being created and everything else. But also talking about how we're going to hammer and squeeze Iran even more and do it financially to actually end this conflict, which, of course, If and when it actually ends, which I think it will, and I think it hopefully will be soon rather than later.
It will make things even better in the world of our economy. Here we go. Unfortunately, there was a branch of an Egyptian bank in Dubai. uh that had funneled more than $1.8 billion to the regime. And we used a Patriot Act authority that we had not used before.
And we are shutting them down. We did not because we did not want to go back to the Egyptian parent. But everyone should expect. That we know who you are, you know who you are, and we are probably going to announce a bank sanction this week, and we will announce one the week after. We are speaking to our allies here, who have all come forward, and we've had a great show of support.
whether it's from the EU, The ECB The the UK of the UAE The Bahrainians.
So we have seen great support around the world. And we have zero tolerance. Zero tolerance. We know where all the bodies are. We know where all the stuff is.
We know where all the money's going. We can follow it. We can trace it. We're going to screw with it. We're going to stop it because we need Iran to be begging us.
I'll actually, I should play the other part too. Begging us to make the deal that we've wanted to make for a while and they refuse to make, even though things are going terrible. Iran is not a place that you'd want a vacation, right? Anyone that says out there that they're actually winning or things are going well, I'd love to see the vacation video. Of someone choosing to go there right now.
Here we go. economically asphyxiate this regime. And as President Trump said, The reason the MOU did not work, they were not ready for a deal. My job is to make sure that they want to have a deal and they will want to have one. They'll beg us to have one.
He sounds sort of like a mobster in that. I like Scott Besson when he doesn't give a crap anymore. And there's been a lot of those interviews recently where Besson is not trying to put on any sort of front, where he says things like, really, you think we're at war with Canada? What? And they're two Navy ships?
Like, we're not fighting them. They don't want to fight us. It's true. It's true of a lot of the things that he says that we're in a position of power and we need to exert that power correctly in order for us to get the thing we want. And especially with Iran, the blockades, the financial restrictions, all of those things can inevitably work if you have the, you know, what to actually make them work.
Which I think we do.
So, again, I really do hope that this conflict comes to an end soon. I don't know if that would push the midterm elections in a certain direction. If it ends, I'll say this. And I think I've been saying this a little bit on and off on this show or other places that I've been working today, or just in general. If the end result of the agreement is one that gives us a lot of the things that we wanted, more so than what people said Obama got before, like if the agreement is better, but then here's the other important part: if we can make sure that Iran actually follows the rules, which we didn't do well last time, but if we get the checks and other things we need to make sure that the agreement isn't one that they wrote on paper and then don't care about at all, if all of that happens, will people admit it was the right decision?
If the final episode of this movie or TV show or whatever you want to call it, if the final part of this thing ends the way that President Trump and others have been saying it was going to end the whole time, even if it took a lot longer to get there, even if the movie really should have been an hour instead of two and a half, at the end of the day, is that going to be the kind of thing that the left admits succeeded? Of course, they won't. But they should. My position will be that that will be the right moment to have an honest discussion about what occurred. And if it's not good, if the end result of the agreement is not good, then I don't think the conflict stops.
I think it keeps going until Iran admits that they have to do things a different way because we were terrified. That they were getting closer to a nuclear weapon. And anybody that doesn't believe that. I'll say this too. I've actually been having this argument a lot with listeners at KSUV in Texas.
The IAEA had warned twice. In 2024 and then again in 2025, that Iran was not letting them inspect a whole lot of things. And Iran was the kind of place that was known to say, put a bunch of development facilities or centrifuges in places they shouldn't go to try to enrich uranium more than they're supposed to enrich it to try to create nuclear weapons. In 2024, the IAEA warned Iran that it was being non-compliant. And in 2025, for the first time in 20 years, A few days before any sort of strike happened that year, the IAEA said that Iran was non-compliant with any sort of investigation into whether or not they were pursuing nuclear weapons.
So, people who simply don't believe That Iran got any closer to a nuclear weapon, don't seem to care about the agencies that they often quote. They would say the IAEA loved Iran, and that's not remotely true. All right, let's play this audio. I think this is interesting. This is Ken Paxton.
He is talking about James Tallerico and the amount of money. That's being funneled to Texas to try to get a radical left person a Senate seat in a very red or supposed to be red state. All of this money is coming from other places. This is not Texans. This is not businesses in Texas or people that want the ideologies of a James Tallerico to represent them.
We've seen this movie before, too, of course. All of this money is coming from places that have no real interest in the day-to-day lives of Texans or what is represented at the state level or the federal level as far as our state goes. They just have interest in trying to topple anything and everything Republican. And that does matter. When Paxton says he's not raising as much money as Tallarico, part of the reason why is up until recently when people like President Trump or Elon Musk said they're going to help out in Texas and they are going to funnel money this way, part of the reason why is a lot of Paxton's money was raised here, where I live, in Houston and in Texas.
More than the rest of the state than my city, unfortunately. And a whole lot of Tal Rico's money, as I said, not getting cut. By people that live in the state. Here we go. Maybe there was one back in the 70s.
I don't even remember it. But this is pretty exciting to have the President of the United States coming to Texas for the midterms to start promoting the Republican ticket, not just in Texas, but really all over the country. And there's nobody better to do it than the leader of our party, Donald J. Trump, who's been a great president.
So, your race, interestingly, is one of the most expensive we've ever seen, definitely in this cycle. Talrico has raked in $72 million. You have $17 million.
So, why is he raising so much more than you, and how could that impact the race?
Well, a couple reasons. One, I had a runoff that lasted three months out of the total eight-month period.
So as of like June 1st, I had zero dollars. He had already raised over $30 million. Again, we also have a lot of money coming in from California. California is trying to elect their third senator, and it's James Tallarico. I would bet at least a third or more of his money, maybe half, has come in from the state of California.
And so that's another reason that we see James Tallaric. Yeah, it's a lot of money, and it's a lot of places that are not Texas, as I said, and that's a bad thing because, darn it, these people don't give a crap about what Texans actually believe. And I do. I do feel That's what has to happen in the midterms in order for Democrats to not have this version of a playbook in other places is states like Texas have to remind Democrats that they're not going to win here. They're not going to win with insane far-left guys who say that white supremacy is a thing in our society.
Like those people can't get elected in states like Texas, or at least they shouldn't. And if they do, I think Pandora's box swings open even more, and people all over the country are dealing with this version of a fight in their backyard. Because there are, I'm sure there are places, I know this, you know this, I'm not pretending it's not true, where a bunch of outside money has always been funneled in because those races were always thought to be close. But all of a sudden, you start pouring cash and tremendous amounts of it into places like a Senate seat in Texas, which a Democrat hasn't won in 20 plus years, and you say to yourself, How much more likely is this to also happen where I am? And I think Texas needs to send the message that this is a bad decision.
This is a waste of that money. And hopefully we do. One last thing that I want to play. This is J.D. Vance's elevator pitch he gave about the midterms during a question and answer thing that happened yesterday at the White House.
Here's a little bit of that. Do you want to live in a country that has safety and security and prosperity? Yes. If the answer is yes, and I think most Americans do, then vote for congressional Republicans over congressional Democrats on every single issue. The Democrats have taken the side of fraudsters, of criminals, and of far-left interest groups over the side of the American people.
Let me choose that. And also, just like, you know, communists and socialists and Marxists.
Okay, so on fraud. We are trying to take money out of the hands of fraudsters so that people who rely on Medicaid or people rely on food stamp benefits, they're able to get what they need because we've ensured that Americans' people's tax dollars actually go where it's supposed to go rather than fraudsters. Democrats have fought for the fraudsters and Republicans have fought for the people who deserve these benefits and the American taxpayers who are paying those benefits. Yeah, and it's not even that. Actually, what's really interesting about some of the Democratic fighting, like trying to prevent people like Nick Shirley from doing stories like the one he did in Minnesota in places like California, part of the thing there is they don't even want you to know about it.
Like, and this has always been the game plan too. Again, none of these things are new. I'm telling you something that probably a vast majority of you already know. The best way to control you is to just not tell you the most relevant information. It's not that they, although they do out and out lie.
It's not that they out and out lie all the time, though. They only have to lie to you when you make them. Because if you're willing to be blissfully unaware and a useful idiot, they'll happily accept that deal and just tell you the stuff they want to tell you and leave out all the things that you don't need to know, like the IAEA being very upset and saying that Iran was non-compliant long before any sort of military strike from Israel or the United States. All right, we'll take a break. A lot coming up.
This is Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. We got more on the way as we roll towards Florida, man. And as we do so, the folks who help make the program possible. It is our friends up over at Berna. I'm not going to call it a gun because it's not a gun.
They say burn a gun, but it's not a gun. It's just Burna. You can call it a launcher. This CL, for instance, compact launcher.
Now, does it look like a gun? Yes, but it's not a gun. Here's the thing: Burna shoots chemical irritant projectiles that deter threats from up to 60 feet away. And the uh C L, the compact launcher. The smallest, I mean it's like the size of an iPhone.
You got maximum concealability, no recoil, easy target acquisition. And by the way, you can trade in if you have the other model that they have, the S D, you can trade that in and get you a Berna C L if you would like. The other thing too with the Berna C L compact launcher is if you have a stun gun or a taser, that's great. Great journey for you that has like one or two rounds. Adorable.
The CL has a 15-round shot capacity per cartridge.
So, yeah, you can see the difference already. Why I think this is important to have, we always diversify what we carry. Like, I have different calibers that I carry. I have blades. I have all kinds of stuff, extended mags.
You know, I have, you know, different, and I always care. I have no issue using lethal force to put someone down. And I've trained for it. If you're a threat to me, I'm going to take you to the rail yard. I don't care.
But here's the thing. If you're like, say, a 20-year-old college student, you're living by yourself, you gotta walk to campus, drive to campus, you wanna make sure you're protected. But you can't carry a firearm. What are you going to do?
Well, Berna CL is an option for you. There are no background checks. There are no waiting periods. There are no fees. And it doesn't care about gun-free zones because it's not a gun.

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 Quick Five on the Dana Show, D Lash, Dana Lash Radio and X. Great ways to stay connected to her and all the awesome stuff that she and producer Steven and everybody does on social media. And I always say this at Radio Craig C.
If you want to see what it's like to do social media without a fancy producer named Steven, that's what I do on social media. Although it's getting a little better. Mostly because we launched a morning show in Houston, Texas at KSEV, which I've been promoting heavily on any fill-in work I've been doing. I think it makes the station happy, and KSEV is an affiliate. Of the Dana show.
So, darn it, two birds, one stone. All right, a couple quick things. First, I thought this was kind of funny. A gas station is now one of the best places to get pizza, according to an influencer on social media.
Some guy who also claims he's a chef named Andrew Zimmern. That I've never heard of before, said he tried out Casey's pizza, which is good. But it's good in the world of gas station pizza. I've made this argument here in Texas about Buckies, and I know it's sacrilege to say this in Texas about Bucky's because it's a great place. Part of the reason you think it's so great is because it's also a gas station.
If it were just a store and not a place where you filled up your tank and also shopped, you'd think that it was still fun, but maybe not this incredible, ridiculous thing that no one else has or sees. I think the same is true about Casey's and Pizza. Like, is it better than the pizza you can get at an actual restaurant? No. Is it better than most pizza out there?
My answer is also gonna be no. But is it delicious compared to most pizza that you get at other gas stations? The answer is profoundly yes. And Bucky's is one of the only places where I can buy a bunch of things that normally you cannot purchase at a gas station. I'm talking mostly about the entire wall of gummy candy.
Like that to me is amazing. Not a thing that exists a lot of places. But I do believe. I'm actually going to compare it to something, and this is the top five, and I'm doing a top one so far. My bad.
I'll probably fix that in the next segment. I think it's sort of like improv comedy. The stuff that you go to that you think is great, partially because of the nuance of it. Like improv is funny, but it's not as funny as a stand-up comedian. And we all laugh real hard because we know it's more challenging.
We know they're all making it up in the moment. But if it were an actual comedian doing that and we didn't laugh as hard, it'd be because we thought that that guy was lazy. The same is true. Of the restaurant or whatever it is, the food that you get at the gas station, I think that by and large, it's not as good as we think it is because of our brain. One last thing that I find funny, and maybe we'll talk about more in a bit.
Does dad sneeze louder than everybody else? And if so, why? That's something that people are debating on social media. The answer is yes, and it's because we're tired. Men of a certain age do a lot of things louder than they should.
I grunt in the shower, darn it, and I'm proud of my grunting in the shower. It makes it easier to get down and clean my feet. Quick break, a lot more. Craig Holland's filling in on the Dana Show. The folks who help make the program possible, it's our friends over at Ghost Bed.
I love my ghost bed. Told you about this. Everything, if you don't have a ghost bed, you're sleeping on a hobo mattress. That actually is probably the official brand name of all bad mattresses. It's just not a good mattress.
But Ghostbed is the best. It's the best mattress. And one of the reasons I love it is because the quality of construction is so much better. You can tell right out of the box that it's just better materials, better construction. It's deeper than my previous bougie mattress that I spent a sinful amount on to get.
Ghostbed does not cost a sinful amount of money, but yet it is like you spent that much on it. Here's the other thing: with Ghostbed, cooling tech is automatically included. Like it's already incorporated and built into every single mattress. Everybody else, it's an upgrade. But see, Ghostbed looks at their mattresses like it's a piece of health equipment because let's be real, it actually is.
You spend so many hours of your life sleeping on a mattress and you want to make sure the whole, what's the whole purpose to rest and restore, to recharge so that you wake up great, can handle the day. But if your mattress isn't doing that, it's time to get a new one. Ghostbed also has a 101-night sleep trial, so you can try it at home because it's the best test of a mattress, right? To see how you feel once you sleep on it and you wake up in the morning for a limited time during their Labor Day sale, Ghostbed is offering all of you out there in my audience an extra 10% off of their already lowest price of the season.

This is the Dana Show. My name is Craig Collins filling in. Thrilled to be with you. A bunch of stuff to talk about. I did see there's a debate as to whether or not the United States is in control of the Strait of Hormuz or if Iran is still in control of the Strait of Hormuz.
And that's a weird thing to be debating. I'm just going to put that out there at D-Lash at Dana Lash Radio and X, if I didn't say it. I forgot. But the reason I think it's such a weird debate is Iran wants it completely closed, and the Strait of Hormuz is not completely closed.
So, if I were to tell you which side I think has more power right now in that situation, it's pretty easy. For me to pick which side it is, which side seems to be more exerting themselves and likely to keep doing it. And darn it, I just want the straight of Harmose now. I would like the US to control it long term because I kind of think it's necessary. We can't allow Iran to have these weird bottlenecks that they can exert on the entire world in order to keep funding terrorism.
Darn it. That feels like two things can both be solved at the same time there if the US takes over the strait. In other news, I thought this was interesting. NEC Director Kevin Hassett was bragging about the jobs report, how successful it was, how well things seemed to have worked over the last. A couple years, whether it's tariffs, whatever it might be, flushing manufacturing jobs back into this country.
People are building factories. Good things are happening. Here's a little bit of Hassett talking about it. But this number was way, way better than I expected. And it wasn't just me.
We went back and looked, and 77 people posted their forecast at Bloomberg, and this blew past everybody.
So this number was above anybody's forecast. And by a lot, it was four standard deviations above the mean. And so it's a really blockbuster number. And then when you're trying to say, well, why did it happen? If you dig down, then what you can see is that there's a lot of policy success underneath it all.
And so capital spending is through the roof. It's getting set to about double since President Trump took office relative to GDP. And you're seeing the construction of factories through the roof.
So employment, one of the most interesting things to me in the data is that since President Trump took office, employment for people who are building factories has been built. Has gone up by 90,000.
So think about how many future jobs that's going to create. That sounds good. That sounds real great to me. I said it before, and I'll say it again: AI has made a ridiculous amount of things easier than they should be. There are too many things now that have been simplified by artificial intelligence.
I say this as a guy who was capable of creating two apps and a website for the radio station I currently work at. I did have some knowledge. It wasn't that I had none. But would I have been able to do it, and as quickly as I did it without the help of some AI? The answer would be no.
And there's a lot of things like that happening in our society and throughout the world. And I want as many opportunities for jobs. Even if automation still might wind up taking some of those, I want as many opportunities here in this country. because we will future-proof ourselves from the ridiculousness of ChatGPT running everything. Another story that deserves to be talked about.
And yet every time I talk about this story, I get a little crazy. are just a little annoyed because it's ridiculous. The Lindsey Clancy trial. Has been one of the most annoying things, or there's probably a stronger word for it that I can't use on the radio. That I've seen in my lifetime.
The amount of people who want to defend a woman who killed her kids just, it mystifies me. And the idea that there might be a holdout juror who's refusing to allow her, Lindsey Clancy, to be acquitted, which then means that we get a mistrial, which we did get, which that mistrial then allows a new court case to start again. But it's terrifying that it took a holdout juror to say that murdering your kids is not okay for us to get a mistrial, not an acquittal. That's kind of terrifying to me. But I also think that some of the ridiculous avenues to which people envision themselves as a victim and then are willing to defend anyone.
If they think that other person might somehow be a victim too, is part of what's at play here. Here is a panelist on CNN trying to say that race is a factor, and that if she were a black woman, she definitely would have been found guilty because. We're not talking about the substance of the case itself anymore. I'm gonna play the audio in a second. All we're talking about is the other thing that makes you feel like you'd be a victim.
At least on the left, who might someday haul off and kill your kids, but yet you'd be innocent of an actual crime. It's crazy. This is insane. We need to get back to the world of sanity. That should be.
The campaign message of Republicans: we're the most sane people you can vote for. We might not be, you know, people who are going to do everything right or do everything fair. We might even be corrupt, some of us, but darn it, we're much more sane than the other side, and I can at least tolerate that. Here we go. So, I think it's a good opportunity to see our justice system at work, flaws and all, but I think we can't.
ignore the nuance of you know race not just gender but race we can't ignore the nuance of you know just the optics of why does this trial uh draw so much attention when there are, you know she killed her kids. That's why people are paying attention to the things we could be focusing on. And I just you know, that is not to fault anyone for for focusing on this, but at the end of the day, when you talk about who who gets to raise a million dollars, When they're accused of killing three children, we just can't ignore some of those optics and dynamics. You know, it's long been a narrative of the left or media that white women get way too much coverage, that people care about them too much, that they talk about them too much. I think an obvious version of this.
Discussion that I've heard a lot is: if an attractive white woman goes missing, that story is national news. But if a lot of other people go missing, it's not. And the problem is race, the problem is something else. And you know the argument I've always made in response to that? Because there actually are some studies, I will admit this on the radio.
There are some studies that show that occasionally some stories that feature attractive women more so than I think women of just a certain race do wind up being more covered in our society than, say, a dude. Who goes missing? Like, that is by and large, there is some truth to that statement. But my reaction has always been: well, that's good that we care about anybody. Like, why would you want some people to also not be cared about compared to everyone else?
As a guy who, if I go missing, people probably won't care. None of the data seems to say that they're going to go looking hard for me.
Some white 40 something-year-old guy. I think I'm the bad guy in most of society now. To how people talk about certain individuals in our country, regardless. I'm a conservative too, so they'd probably celebrate me going away or disappearing. But nonetheless, I still don't care.
That some people might fixate more on certain individuals for whatever the reason might be, because we want to save people and find people. And in the world of this story, getting back to Lindsey Clancy herself, the biggest reason I've paid attention at all. And it's made me so mad every time I have that part of me for my own mental health has wanted to avoid this story as much as humanly possible, is that she killed her kids. How can we in a society Ever get to a point where we are this victim mentality to such a degree, to such a ridiculous, exaggerated version of what the truth is, that you can see yourself in a child murderer? Because that's really all this is.
There are a lot of college students who protested what was going on in the Middle East because they saw themselves in someone that they were trying to defend. It wasn't because they actually fully understood the person they were yelling and screaming, deserved whatever it is they thought they deserved: free Palestine from the river to the sea, whatever the thing was. That people were screaming, they didn't actually pay attention to the fact that people in those places celebrated American deaths on 9-11. Like, that stuff didn't matter, who cares? Everyone ignores those facts on that side of the aisle.
All they're looking for is the latest version of: this is how I am involved in this. This is how I see myself and what I need to do to protect myself from any of the people who are coming after me and trying to turn me into a victim, too. And it's disgusting. I'll tell you, I have a lot of experiences in my own professional life now where certain things happen, and you walk out of the room and you say to yourself, That person I just interacted with was determined to be a victim. They were determined to do it.
They had to find a way. It didn't matter how. It didn't matter, you know, how much truth was involved. This person was determined to say, I'm the victim. And then, even more so than that, which I think is scary about our society and stories like the Lindsey Clancy case, is that because they've decided that they're a victim, they've also decided what is and isn't okay.
For, say, a business, for society, whatever it might be. They're like, this can no longer be allowed because I was a victim in whatever this situation might be. And it's fair. Freaking ridiculous. I don't know a better way to say it.
Like, man up. Is my response to so many people. And do whatever the work needs to be done in your own life. in your profession, whatever it might be, to succeed. And not try to find a way to be a victim and to talk about some sort of victim mentality that gets you into the place where you think what you're actually winning or what you're actually gaining is support through being a person that you convince others was beat up.
Like, that's the truth for what it is. In the case, again, of Lindsay Clancy, and I can't get over it. It makes me so mad. I don't know why. Oh, yeah, I do know why.
She killed her children, and people are defending her for it. But nonetheless, The thing that I just can't seem to wrap my brain around is the idea that someone walking around there on the street actually thinks they're doing a good job by defending this woman. Like, they actually think that they're somehow helping society go further in the right direction instead of the wrong direction, where, say, 10 more people commit this crime and all say the exact same thing. It worked in that high-profile case. Let me go ahead and try it in my case.
It's just, it's ridiculous.
So one more time, I guess the message of this segment, if ever there was a message for a segment while I fill in on the Dana show, is man the freak up and do whatever you're told to do. Do whatever it is professionally, personally, to succeed and don't necessarily just find a way to skirt and circumvent all that by claiming victim, victim, victim every second of every day, all the time. It's breaking our society. It's not just breaking you and your own individual life. It's breaking our society.
Because actually, I'll say one last thing about this. The only way to fight back in those scenarios. Where someone is doing that to you is to find a way for you to also be a victim. That's what social media has taught a lot of people: that they're not going to agree with me if I go out there and tell the simple truth, the factual information, the stuff that should demonstrate that I had no interest in hurting anybody, but I just want to talk about a topic honestly, like, you know, dudes playing women's sports kind of thing. Instead of that, you have to find a way that you're also a victim.
And then you're also going to get sympathy, and then people are going to lay off you.
So you can only fight fire with fire, and that also is destroying our society. All right, quick break, a lot coming up. A hot take, maybe, as far as that segment goes. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana Show. As we move, our partners that help bring you the program.

This is a job for Indeed Sponsored Jobs. Yeah. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. Yeah. 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. Great ways to stay connected to her and all the cool stuff she's doing. We have three of them this week, plus a story that might help someone in their defense. Which I do think is pretty interesting.
First, the first Florida guy said that he was having a real bad week. Hmm. And so, in response, I'm sorry, to his real bad week, I'm having a bit of a bad throat problem myself. Just a second. Go ahead and let me go ahead and try to do a thing to make that a little bit better for me.
I take a sip of water. All right, anyway. A Florida man who said he was having a tough time decided to saw down three flock cameras. I find this to be hilarious because. Most of us won't actually be upset with the crime itself.
The flock cameras need to go, and the Florida Department of Transportation has actually acknowledged that a bunch of flock cameras have problems. Excuse me, I can't. I can't seem to catch my breath here, real quick. I'm having a bit of a. An attack where I think I need something else to drink in a second.
But anyway, the Florida Department of Transportation had said all the different flock cameras have got to go. One guy took this into his own hands. He decided to saw down three of them. And his defense was, I'm just not really having the best of weeks, which doesn't work. Apparently, the people in charge, the police, they still hold you accountable for the crime you committed.
And to use a saw, too, man, out of all the things you choose to do To try to get rid of these cameras, I feel like this was a harder version of that same story. You could have gone an easier road, pal. You didn't seem to want to go that road. Other Florida man stories that I like. A Florida man was Spotted causing thousands of dollars of damage.
This was in Cocoa Beach in Florida. The reason that I thought this was hilarious is that it also is mentioned in the story that the guy ripped a lot of political signs out of the ground. That's not what he did with that was thousands of dollars of damage, excuse me. That was like shoving down a statue that broke. That thing actually did cost money, but I love that the politicians need to have it mentioned.
And I don't even know whose signs they were. Like, I don't know if it was a politician I would vote for if I lived in Florida or someone I wouldn't. But I love that the politicians are like, mention my signs too, man. The guy shoved down and destroyed a statue, caused a whole bunch of damage, and also had a political statement he was trying to make. I'm assuming he was just hammered.
He may or may not agree with the things he was even doing in the world of politics because of the level of drunkenness that appears to be in this video that has gone viral. They are looking for someone to help identify the man because, as of right now, I think they're still not sure who committed this crime.
Somebody knows.
Somebody looked at that guy and was like, I know exactly who that is. That's my buddy. And he does this all the time. One final Florida man story. I thought this was interesting.
A guy was arrested in Hillsborough County in Florida because he drove an ambulance off the road. What's horrible about this story is they say there was a dude at a house when paramedics arrived and they had to offer assistance to a woman there. But the guy in the house was getting very, very mad as paramedics were caring for a woman. They inevitably decided to take that woman in their ambulance to a hospital. And that's when the dude, 35-year-old Johnny Armin, got even more aggressive and angry, hopped in his own car, chased the ambulance down, and forced it to crash.
This dude is a piece of crap. This dude is every piece of crap that we should hate. But luckily, he was arrested and no one was hurt. 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. A bunch of stuff out there to talk about. I did just punch my microphone for anyone who heard it.
That was my bad. My phone actually did it, not me. Let me do this. I love this.
Somebody did a mashup of Haul and Oats and the DuckTales theme song. And I will say going in that I feel like this is very millennial. Or very young person, because I don't think the DuckTales was on a lot of people's radar. If you're, say, a lot older than I am, I'm 40, I'm right at the cutoff there.
So I apologize for anybody that doesn't care about this in the world of talk radio. But I find it hilarious, and it really shouldn't go together. As well as it does. There's some sort of admission there. Mostly it's just Holland Oats: you make my dreams come true.
But you'll notice some of the backing track has changed. This should not work, and it does. It's amazing. Can't stop the balls and eat the scatter. Can you pull the door?
And I can't explain why you get away with you right solemn. Yeah, that's ridiculous. I love the people that do this. It's one of my favorite parts of the internet, actually, still, because the internet has a lot of terrible things on it, by and large. But a couple good things include the people who do the mashup songs.
And You Make My Dreams Come True along with DuckTales and It Fitting As Well as It Does is the kind of thing that I shouldn't know, but I know now. And I feel better for knowing it. You're better for having heard it, whatever that means. Also, this, I like this. It's a viral rant from a Walmart employee who was very upset that a customer came in and demanded a Halloween decoration this early on.
It's September. It's the beginning of September. It's not even Labor Day yet. Darn it. You shouldn't ask for these things now.
Too many companies put up too much stuff too soon. That's the take of the Walmart employee, and that's the take of a lot of us. Here we go. This guy that came up to me with his son, and he said that he was just looking for a flash costume for him for Halloween. And I told him that they're going to have him at the front of the seasonal section where the rest of the Halloween stuff is at.
He looked at me and was like, We just checked from over there, and all we was able to find was Spider-Man and Batman costumes. Can you double-check? And I was like, All right, cool.
So I went on my phone to check and see if they had any flash costumes for him. After I got done looking it up, it said NA, not available on my phone. And I showed him, like, oh, maybe they haven't stocked them up yet. Maybe for right now, all they got is the Batman and Spider-Man costumes until they bring these out. Then he wanted to say, but what if they don't have it later on?
That's why I'm trying to get it right now. That's why I'm asking you. Is there a way you can bring it out faster before anybody else buy it? I'm like, sir, how can I bring out the flash costume when I literally just told you a bunch of times that we don't have the costume anywhere in the store? We don't have it.
It's not for sale. How darn it for you to say how dare you to ask for this sort of thing. But I love the amount of people who get mad. And I'm among them, so I'm not going to say I'm not among this group. When the decorations, when all the things come out too soon, there's a caveat to the rule.
I, by and large, do not accept that Halloween decorations are on sale now and you can find them Lowe's and other places, but I've been throwing out this caveat, and some people seem to agree, some disagree. If you need two months to convince your wife, That the 20-foot-tall skeleton is a wise purchase for $300 or $400, then I appreciate the fact. That the place is giving you two months to make that argument because you're going to need more than a couple of weeks. That's the only scenario where it benefits anybody is when you say, I'm going to need some time to eventually tell my wife this is worth the buy so she doesn't have to find it sitting outside of the front door if I buy it online or somewhere else. Other than that, it's a no-go.
Don't put anything else except the most ridiculous decorations and give the guys that really, really want them a full month and a half to two months to make the argument. They're still going to lose and probably still going to make somebody mad if they decide to go about it anyway. All right, quick break, a lot more. Craig Collins filling in on the Dana show.

A great way to stay connected to her and everything she's doing. A Missouri candidate has been charged with trying to plant cocaine on a political rival, and I find this hilarious. Not a good move. Thomas Ross is the guy's name. He's 37 years old.
He's charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. He's accused of asking a campaign manager to plant just a little bit, just a small amount of cocaine, and a prescription amphetamine pill. On his opponent in the weeks leading up to the August 4th primary, according to court documents. This is. Hilarious.
The reason that it's hilarious is a lot of people would have easily believed that another politician was doing a bunch of things like cocaine and amphetamines. And I like that you wanted it planted on the person. Cause, like, you know, you found cocaine in the White House, and we claimed we didn't know that it was Hunter Biden's, but everybody was pretty sure that the exception or the unique part. Of what changed in the world when we weren't finding cocaine in the White House to when we were is that Hunter Biden was in the White House. But nonetheless, like, this is the way you gotta manufacture this thing.
You gotta put the cocaine on a person, and it failed. It didn't work out, which of course it didn't. And I'm glad somebody didn't sabotage somebody else with illicit means, but I do find that amusing. Historic first. Older adults now outnumber the youngest children worldwide.
I'm sure people are going to have certain COVID starter comments to this or COVID-specific ideas about this, like shots that kids didn't need being shots that kids got, which is horrible. I'll also say that a lot of people just aren't making babies.
So there's another component to this too. But older adults now finally outnumber the youngest children, which is probably not good. For us, so we have to find a way to make things better. I think Trump paying everybody a thousand bucks to make a baby is hilarious. And a thing that is also kind of happening: the Trump accounts that get some money put in it that grows to be more money over time.
This is a reason that we all have to start making more kids. Also this. Seems like a decent topic to compare to what's happening with Lindsey Clancy and how horrible it is that people are defending a woman that killed her children. A mom in Virginia got six months suspended jail sentence for letting her five year old walk to a pond. It's a real story.
I was growing up at a time, and it's just 20 years ago, and even though I'm an elder millennial, I remember it, where you were allowed to do a lot as a kid, as long as you were home in time for dinner. My favorite thing I used to do, and my mom was never punished or arrested for it, thank God, was ride my bike to the liquor store because the liquor store had awesome candy. My friends and I in the neighborhood would all get on our bikes. We would ride to a place that was mostly full of alcohol, we'd buy candy and things and leave. And that was a successful day as a child when I was growing up.
Of course, now I think that you'd get thrown in the huskow forever for that. Although again, none of it makes sense in the world we live in because somehow Clancy almost was acquitted. Thankfully, it was a mistrial because a juror hold out and said that it's not okay to murder your children when most of the other jurors, for some reason, thought it was. But this is just a ridiculous comparison. And then finally, one last story: a contestant of Survivor Greece is suing the production because he lost a leg during the filming of Survivor Greece.
Horrible story. $100 million is what the lawsuit is for. The guy was hit by a, I think, boat propeller while he was in the water fishing for stuff. It does demonstrate that the terms survivor and TV show don't actually mean the thing they'd mean in the real world, but I hope the guy gets paid the money he's wanting because losing a leg is horrible.
