All kinds of good stuff. A few Where to start? Because I have a bunch of stuff that I haven't gotten to with you guys yet. Where to go with, you know, let me see. Let me pull this one up.
Can we talk really quickly and then I'm going to get into all the other serious stuff? I promise. But this is very important. It has to do with robots? Centaurs?
And chainsaws. It's a weird mix. There's a California startup. How do you say this? Satras?
Satyrus? That unveiled a two-metre tall centaur. Designed to enter disaster zones. That are too dangerous. For humans.
And I am Made of questions. For instance, the first one would be: why does it look like that little Ram Black Phillip from the movie Wit The Witch. Why does it look like that? And Would you trust that? If you were in a disaster zone and you needed help, And this thing came ambling towards you, it is like a flat black ram.
Or a centaur, it has horns. They're like, but the cameras are in the horns, as though there's no other way to configure this thing to include cameras. Why is centaur of all things? Because? Is there some useful purpose for it being a centaur?
I think. Why does it look like a demon from hell? If you look at it, it looks like you can ride it like a horse.
So imagine if you are in a disaster area and you can't get out. And this centaur shows up out of nowhere. You're telling me they just can't make a robo wagon? No. Can't make a robo-wagon.
That needs wheels. The demonic little Black Phillip looking centaur. You remember Black Phillip from that movie, The Witch Cane? Oh yeah. Yeah, you remember that.
Oh yeah. So Polymarket actually ha it's a California startup that has it. Really? This thing is just weird. I don't I don't try why do all of the robots they have they make look terrifying?
And why is he holding a chain? I mean, I get it. If you're in a disaster area, you may have to cut some trees away to get to people.
So I can see that. But it just makes it look evil in this photo. That's if you're watching the silent cast, that's it. It is a flat black robot centaur. called three halves, which is even more terrifying.
Humanoid upper body, four-legged base. Designed for teleoperated disaster response. Wait, wait, let me run through the deets for you. Combines an energy-efficient quadruped lower base for rough terrain stability with an expressive horned humanoid upper torso. Fully teleoperated by human operators using joysticks rather than relying on autonomous AI.
Uses a quick connect modular limb system to swap heavy-duty field tools like chainsaws and impact drills in minutes. Fail safes include an emergency air brake system and puncture-activated pressure reservoirs to instantly lock it in place. There's currently a proof of concept design with no official commercial release date or pricing announced. I wouldn't want to. Like you're you're in a Imagine now there's an earthquake or something.
And you're in a disaster zone. And this thing comes at you. I'm here to save you. I mean it's kinda I'm not saying it talks like that but it looks like it does. Would you feel safe?
I would think it came up from whatever disaster just happened and that it came out of that. I'd have to weigh. Why are its eyes not red?
So you know it's powered off or on. We don't want it to have red eyes.
Well, might as well go full on. But if I'm in a disaster situation. I'd have to weigh my current situation with my fear of the new robot coming to save me.
So I I guess it depends on how bad a disaster situation I'm in. Yeah, I think I'd want to stay.
Well Yeah. And the disaster, you can't just make that determination right now. I mean, yeah, pretty much can. What? You trust that thing?
I I want to. It probably talks backwards. Like, meat for me is my big beer. And that means I'm here to save you. That's just adding things.
It's probably what it is. Look at it. It looks like black film. I'm looking at it in the monitor for the people who are like, what? It looks like Black Philip from the Witch.
That little the demonic little ram And they just happened to give this one a chainsaw for the photo of fun of it. But they always look creepy. I mean, if you're why can't you just make like a regular four-legged happy-looking thing? Like a happy Four-legged normal horse that smiles, giant smile on its face. They do have those, though.
They do not have those. Yeah, they do. No, they don't. They've got these things that look like French burglar legs. On What is a gymnastics beam?
That's a pommel horse. That's what it looks like. French burglar legs on a pommel horse. That's the other. That's the French company that did it.
I think they've made them a little more robust since then. I think I would run away further into the disaster if I saw this thing. Those little four-legged century-style robots, you mean? Is that what you're talking about? Because those are the ones that look like dogs?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's French burglar's legs. On a pommel horse. Like mounted on their backs?
No. Yeah. I don't want that. I'm a fan of that. I want my robots to be disarmed unless it's my drone and I tape a gun to it.
I'm just saying, like. terrorist style. You know, I'm just, anyway, I had to share this with you. I would you want this to come and save you? I don't think he would.
I don't think anybody would. Yeah, and Lorraine made a great point. The goat's head is a choice. Thank you. Yeah, there's no practical reason for that.
It is a choice. They decided to make it look like that. Why couldn't you they could have had like Pikachu head on it.
Now that would be friendly. You know, if you had like a giant Pikachu coming to get you Like you're, yeah, Pikachu, and you're like stuck in the, it's Pikachu, he's coming to help you. You know, a happy little horse or something. No, they made that. Look demonic on purpose.
So, I don't want it to help me. I don't want it to help me. a couple of other things.
So, um Women's basketball. I like that Sophie Cunningham's Adidas sneakers sold out. That was nice because you know she came out I was out of the country. And she had said. came out and she had said that Men don't belong in women's sports.
That's, I don't know why, that's a controversial thing to say. Apparently it is. It's like saying two plus two equals four. What? What?
It's so offensive. I'm so offensive for, I'm offended for all the other numbers. They wanted to be the product of two plus two. That's not how it works.
So She uh was getting a lot of hate for that. And then I saw a video. Of a Seattle Storm co-owner and players harassing Sophie Cunningham fans. who came out to support her. after she talked about keeping dudes out of women's sports.
Wait. The actual Seattle Storm co-owner. Who's doing this? This is cut 12. Watch this.
This is and apparently the co-owner is now suspended. Watch. I know. What is wrong with people? What is wrong with people?
And weren't they kids that he was talking to? Kids.
So this grown adult man with his questionable moustache. Yeah. Bullying kids because they were wearing Sophie Cunningham merchandise. Yes. At a basketball game.
Some people just don't get their asses kicked enough. I'm just saying. That's part of the problem today. It's actually a huge part of the problem today.
Now in addition to that. Apparently Now There's video where people were getting in trouble. WNBA posted and then deleted. video of their star players placing a bet. On an upcoming game against each other.
This is illegal, correct? Yes, it is. Like on a scale of one to ten, like how illegal? Oh really? Oh, okay.
Yeah, super illegal. Um, they said it was they were in the in Chicago for the All-Star weekend. And it was head coach Becky Hammond. She held a competition that awarded winners with $100 bills, and Angel Reese ended up with $400. In a video that Reese posted, she was talking with Dallas Wings Guard Page Book.
How do you say her name? But vectors. And then Reese offered to put money on the line when their teams played one another after the all-star break. And Yeah, and everyone was WNBA had the video and they posted it on social media. And then They had to delete it.
Because That's not legal. And apparently, according to the league's own rules, that player should be suspended. Is this not known? Angel made a bet with each other on this game. Is that bet still?
This is how the rich stay rich. You gotta save this money. I'm gonna see you next week on Wednesday. Yeah. At night?
No, at practice. Oh, at practice? I mean, I know y'all gonna lose, but if y'all lose. I get to have that. If y'all wanna get it for 100.
Maybe. And if we lose the No, you owe me four. Why did WNBA post this? Right? Why did they post this?
Why? Holy wow.
So Are they going to be suspended? How do the rules work on this? Steve, how do the rules work? Are they going to be suspended? Everyone's saying that they should be.
No, I'm not gonna suspend it. Yeah, it's hard to imagine. The WNBA posted it, so who's supposed to be responsible for the suspension? Yeah. I mean, who's running this league?
Right. Hey guys, why don't you post a video of you guys making bets on how well you'll play? I mean, it's totally illegal, but whoo-hoo! I mean, Pete Rose was kept out. The Hall of Fame for this stuff.
Exactly.
So and it was by the way a po it was posted by their official. Official WNBA count. Like verify, check mark all that. Like their official thing. Posted it.
And then Reese doubled down because she won. And she was like, I'm going to request my Apple Pay.
So it's under Section 5C of the WMBA's collective bargaining agreement, which I'm pretty sure none of these chicks have read. Maybe their agent should. And it says that they if they're found guilty of wagering money or anything of value on the outcome score or aspect of the WNBA competition, that's subject to fines, suspicions, or outright disqualification. The NBA has never posted anything like that, right? But wait, here's a big question.
So, if they're lesbians, can you punish them because they're a protected class, right? Is that how it works?
So, only if it's like Caitlin Clark do they get in trouble.
So they can break the law with protection? I don't know. I'm just asking for a friend. I don't think anything's going to happen from it because I think it actually shoves the WNBA in a worse light than they currently cannot stand. Can it be in a worse light, though?
It's not right now, not in any.

Again, that's simplepractice.com. You would probably miss. It's time for Dana's Quick Five. I have to go back to this headline because this stuns me. This is a New York Post headline.
I'm pulling it from the 11 o'clock hour. There I didn't know, I know that elephants never forget, but I never thought they could hold grudges. I thought those were just crows. You know, that's a real thing. Like, apparently, crows hold grudges and pass it on.
I am definitely a crow.
So an infamous killer elephant stalked a family. And murdered four members 14 years apart. They said there's nowhere for us to run. It is a notorious rogue Nepalese elephant that stalked residents of family for years, killed four of this guy's family members. Uh Shani Char Bot.
killed four of his family members 14 years apart. Two of them, even after they all moved miles away, to escape this homicidal elephant. Juan's getting ready to show you this elephant. This elephant is crazy. You've got sawed-off tusks.
Uh-uh. They never forget. Look how crazy this is. This is the elephant. The nightmare began in 2012 when this infamous killer elephant, who I guess they call it derb.
The you know how many people this thing has killed? 25 people. The death toll, it's a serial killer elephant, 25 people. Uh fatally trampled the guy's parents in uh in this Nepalese town. He packed up, moved him and his family to safety, set up a new homestead nine miles away across the river.
but the elephant tracked him down. burst into their home, killed his daughter-in-law, killed his four-year-old grandson. And he said that there's nowhere else for us to run. It's killed more than two dozen people since 2020. And I like, what do you do for it wears a collar?
So it pings its location. It has this like tracking collar.
So it pings its location every hour, but that hasn't stopped any of these attacks. Came space right now. I knew you'd want to hear that one. That's crazy. I'm just reading this.
I'm just blown away. Right? I've never heard of an elephant that's like that in my whole life. That's wild. All right, so we got a family checked into an Airbnb.
I don't do Airbnbs, I think they're weird. I don't like them. And they made a baffling discovery. Inside the Airbnb, according to the New York Post, they noticed something on the wall. It was a picture of their family that was on the wall of their little holiday rental.
And it was, they are matching faces. It even had the bathing suits that they were wearing when they had, I guess they had their pictures taken on the beach. and it was their own family. It was taken 10 years earlier. And I guess the Airbnb person.
thoughts that that Was gonna be nice to do for them. No, it wasn't intentional. I know, but how weird is this? That's what you would think. They say the odds are so like the odds of it actually happening are so astronomical, you can't even fathom the number.
Why would you have? Those photos In your house, it was just by chance. This guy took an overhead photo of a beach. And her family happened to be on the beach. Her and her sister, as they were kids, were in that photo.
And it was on this guy's wall in the Airbnb for however long he's had this Airbnb. There was in Australia, a family of five walked, they left there. uh Airbnb in Perth. Because they checked into the house and then they saw a huge camera that pointed directly into the living room with a flashing red light, like letting everybody know that it was on and it was recording. That's kind of weird.
I don't like Airbnbs because of stuff like that. I don't, I think they're weird. I don't, I'm not gonna stay, I'm gonna do a hotel if I'm gonna, I'm not an Airbnb person, not at all. There are partners that help bring you the program. It's our friends that are over.
At Super Beets, the watermelon flavors. I think it's their best flavor, honestly. I think they need to make it permanent and not have it a limited time summer only. I don't know what I can do to make that happen, but I'm gonna try. I see them tomorrow, so we'll see.

And the Consequence of having an undisciplined coalition, for the lack of a better way to put it, when you expand. Your coalition, like if you're thinking about this in a parliamentary sense, which really hasn't been achieved before on the right in the United States, but we did it, you know, since 2016, but it's been very undisciplined.
And when you do this, you have people that come in, and that's great. You want more people at the table.
However, There are some significant differences that have created what we kind of jokingly call podcastistan and the woke Reich and all of this insanity that was really expedited right to the surface. by the assassination of our friend Charlie Kirk. And in the wake of that, there have been a lot of people. I think every generation has to have. Its own members of the commentariat.
I think the boomers, and I'm not saying that as a pejorative, the boomers need it. I think Gen X, I'm baby Gen X. Gen X needs it. Millennials need it. Gen Z needs it.
Gen Alpha, I have no idea what they're going to look like. It is, I think it's very important that they have their own. Representatives in the commentariate. They have to have people that they can speak to. And I was telling Kane on break, I'm like, I totally now get what Newt Gingrich felt like during the tea party days, right?
Because he had all these grassroots people coming up and were like, we know better than you. And we're telling him what for. And he did come around to it, like in his defense. I get it, and it's very odd right now because we have all of this stuff with the Gal Sharptons of the world and the stuff that we see with podcastistan. And a lot of people have been very worried about Gen Z.
They've been very worried about Gen Z because of some of the stuff that they've seen Gen Z say. And a lot of people are worried that they're going to get that generation is going to get away from the mission that Charlie Kirk had set out. He set out to really like educate that generation, bring them to the table. and motivate them and plug them in. And there I think more people have been fighting than doing.
More people have been arguing than doing. And I happened to see this young man out on social media. And at first they thought he was AI. Because he sounded too calm. I'm like, this dude is AI.
This dude was created in like a computer backroom somewhere. And because nobody in Gen Z is like, maybe with the exception of like five people. are this calm and rational. And very rooted in Christianity, and it's demonstrative in how they engage. And it turns out he's a real person.
Because this would be some really good AI. I'm literally looking at him in the monitor. He's got a new book out. Brylan Hollyhan has a new book out. It's called Make America Talk Again.
And he also wrote One Generation Away: How to Save Humanity from a Screaming Culture. This is incredibly interesting because, and Brylan joins us now via video, and he's real. He's not AI. He's just one of those like unicorns in Gen Z, right? They exist, guys.
They do exist. Brylan, congrats on the book. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you for having me, Ms. Dana.
I promise that I'm real. I can pull some skin here. I know you're used to seeing Gen Z people on Twitter. If you got a big following, you must be a pro-Hitler guy or anti-Charlie's legacy. And you just found a unicorn here that's a normal southern boy that doesn't get too riled up when he speaks and doesn't have to scream to talk.
God bless America. I love it. The art book, there's one thing that immediately stood out to me like right from the get-go. And in this And I want to start with this because you write talking about debate and talking about political engagement and discourse. You write in your book: the goal is not to enjoy being booed.
The goal is to remain steady when it happens. This really stood out to me because we live, as you know, Bryland, we live in this political culture where. You, it almost seems like the emphasis isn't on the action to achieve the mission, but it's on the fight itself. And it's very, it seems almost like a vanity project. Talk a little bit about this because I know that this seems, because this theme is very present throughout the book, and I know you explore a lot of stuff in it.
But tell me your thoughts on that and how that, you know, kind of went into you writing this book. Absolutely. What I want my generation to understand is you can be a bold conservative without being a bitter one. You can be fighting on the front lines of this fight without screaming and infighting at your own party and without saying the most extreme things possible. And I think a lot of people that came into politics, obviously through social media, my generation, came into it with the understanding that it's about clips and clickbait and engagement.
And it's simply not. I understand that that's a path to get information to the next generation, but it's not necessarily a path to grow the tent or to grow voters. And just because you can say something so extreme and radical doesn't necessarily one, make you right and two, make you digestible for our party. As we've seen some gross things said over the past year. And I think a lot of what I wanted to make clear there is you are going to get booed and it's going to suck.
You're going to get the death threats. Keep walking forward. I'll tell you this. I started my political journey with a podcast in the fourth grade. I had never received a death threat until the morning after Charlie's assassination.
And I Said that day that I was going to start speaking on campus, as I was going to start doing debates, and my family walked in and, you know. Read out some of the horrific messages that we had gotten. I didn't know what that was like. I'm a college freshman. I'd never seen that before.
And, you know, local PD, you're advising that I have security walking me to class and this whole thing. And I'm trying to figure out what this means. And there was a thought in the back of my mind, this is it. I can hang it up. I'll walk away from politics because I got booed, because I got threatened, and I'll let somebody else fight this fight.
And what I didn't do in that moment was walk away because we can't do that.
So to the audience watching, you're going to get booed. Keep walking into it anyways. How, as a member of Gen Z, because you're 20 years old. How Because it seems that the incentive to engage in the gladiator, I guess, behavior of politics and to be as outrageous as possible, there's a lot of incentive to that. There's a lot of money to be made in that arena.
Why didn't you take that route? Listen, I have morals and I can't say that about a lot of our friends in a world full of Candace Owens. I would much rather be sitting with Dana Lash right now. And I definitely am disappointed by some of the people who claim to be friends of my mentor, who claim to be fighting for his cause. And some of these big gladiator fights that we've seen since last September, sure, do they sell views?
Maybe. Do they get the money? Sure. Do they help the movement? Absolutely not.
And I'll be honest with you, as horrible as September 10th was last year, the one silver lining walking away from it was at least we're united. We're one big family. We've circled the wagons. There's been a funeral. We're all mourning together.
So surely going into the midterms, we're all going to have each other's back and we're going to do this. And honestly, I've never seen the party more divided right now. And it's disgusting to see even on the campuses some of this, this vitriol that's being thrown up. It's about engagement and entertainment and instead of actually working to save literally one of our biggest fights yet. I'm here in New York right now and the socialists think they've won.
They think they've won our generation and here we are fighting inside about if we're pro-Hitler or not. While the socialists are literally taking over our generation, there's a lot bigger fish to fry than clip farming. And I'm glad you've been on the right side of this. Yeah, Clip Farming, that's the great way to put it. We're talking with Brylin Hollyhan, whose book, Make America Talk Again: How to Save Humanity from a Screaming Culture, is out and available wherever you get books.
And you can find him as well on X and IG and all of that stuff. Tell me about Gen Z, because I see Gen Z. I I feel like The loudest people are the worst representatives of Gen Z, but it seems like they're the ones who are sucking up all of the air in the room. But I get the sense that there are way more. people like you out there that just aren't.
They're not flashy for the sake of flashy. They're a lot more cerebral. There is a real intellectual mooring there. Talk to me a little bit about that because you're in the trench with your generation. What do you see?
There's a lot more people, especially that I'm friends with across the movement and just the 10 campuses that I've debated on the last year that can hold a conversation without raising their voice, without including a slur or a cuss word, and try to make some common ground with the left. Because isn't that the goal of all of this? When I debate with people, it's to try to win them over to our side, not to scare them off or to get a primetime hit. And I think a lot of people have to go into it with that mindset. I'll tell you a little secret.
If somebody comes up to me and I can tell they're going to be a little aggressive by what they're, you know, saying, what they're screaming, sometimes what they're throwing at me as they're walking up to debate, the very first thing I do every time is, oh man, I love that hat, or that's a cool shirt, or I like that sports team too.
Something to humanize them, something to be like, oh, I'm another human. We're both Americans. Before you shoot me, before you scream it, before you throw things at me, understand that we're both humans and we can talk. That's the proper way to go into this. That's the proper way to have conversations with our peers, as opposed to just, what's the craziest thing I could throw at the wall and see if it gets me views.
How hard is it to do what you do? Because you're fighting against not just the left, but you're also fighting against the left's weapon of AI and social media. How difficult is that against what you're doing? How hard is it? It's very difficult, I'll be honest.
It's definitely gotten a lot more challenging now that we're a little bit more afraid on our side. And it depends on the day and the mood of people and what's selling clicks on who's going to be in your corner when you go into some of these battles. And that's disappointing. But I'll tell you this. The first time I met Charlie in the fourth grade, I have on a podcast and the very end of the interview, I'm like...
freaking out and I'm shaking and like, I mean, I baby fat and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm interviewing my mentor and I look at him and I was like, do you have any advice for me? Like, I just want to get involved. I want to help this movement. And he looked at me and said, the left will always out-fundraise you.
They will never outwork you. You control how early you wake up. You control how late you go to bed. You control how many states you visit in one day. You have total control over how hard you work.
And that means I think I've slept in my bed 10 nights this year in 2026 and I'm averaging two or three hours of sleep every night. But, you know, if that makes me AI, I guess it's AI, but it means we're working. Heart, and we're trying to fight what's going on on the left. You better take care of yourself. Otherwise, we're going to be checking in on you to make sure you're getting at least six hours of sleep and you're eating protein and all that stuff.
You're going to make us worry now. We're talking with Bryl and Holly. And this, let me final question for you on this because I think this book is important. I think Gen Z, I think everybody out there, whether you're Gen Z or whether you have Gen Z kids or Gen Z siblings or even Gen Z grandkids, you need to get this. I think it's very important that they read a book like this and you need to get it.
What is the biggest again? Every generation is like, it's marked by a particular issue that drives them. What is, I kind of feel like for Gen Z, it's sort of like AI and data centers because I see a lot of. From my perspective, what's fueling a lot of the discontent with Gen Z is that immediately within the span of like 10 years, the entire workforce has been upended because of AI. Kids that are going, you know, young adults that are going into STEM or going into engineering or coding or whatever.
Now that's completely flipped. Is that kind of like an accurate assessment from where you are? Is that one of the biggest shake-ups in your generation? Absolutely, you're spot on. And the reason for that is really our main concern would be the American dream and our inability to say attain that like our parents and grandparents might have done.
Because of affordability, because of immigration, because of AI data centers, whatever it may be, there's this frustration that are you going to be able to live up to buying that first house like your parents did, to starting a family after college like your parents did, to getting that job in America, to live out this dream that you saw your parents and grandparents achieve. Is that going to be possible? There's absolutely frustrations there. But what I want to be clear is not to be a doom and gloom black pillar, and certainly not to be somebody that comes in here and just whines and complains. Because despite the caricature of Gen Z that we all complain all the time, not everybody does that.
But what I've been concerned, LC, I'll tell you two things I saw on campuses. The very first one, I think we were in Arkansas and we had just finished a QA, we were doing a meet and greet, and this girl comes up in the line and she's whispering to me, Dana. And I can't figure out if she had witness protection, what's going on? Why are we whispering? And I was like, is something wrong?
And she goes, I can't say my name too loud. I think I'm going to get kicked out of my sorority. and SGA in my clubs and my classes because I'm at a Christian conservative event on an SEC campus. And I looked at her and I said, stop rolling over, stop bowing to the mob. If you're concerned about affordability, start your club and fight for it.
I don't care what your sorority says or your club says. A week later, I'm at Ole Miss. Again, SEC campus, as conservative as it gets. And we're doing a Q ⁇ A. And this guy's complained about how he keeps having to change his essays.
And I'm like, what are you talking about? And he's like, well, I write two versions of every essay I submit. The first one I believe in. The second one, I edit to sound liberal so that my liberal professor gives me a good grade. If every time we self-censor, every time that we roll over, we're allowing the mob to take away that ability in the American Dream.
So stop whining, stop complaining, and start acting.
Well, the book is Make America Talk Again: How to Save Humanity from a Screaming Culture by a Very Real Tour. 20-year-old Gen Z member. You're a unicorn. We're like, how is he this moored with principle and intellect? I mean, obviously, I mean, you were raised, I mean, you know, not to be condescending, you were raised incredibly well.
And it's just, I'm so happy to see someone in the next generation coming up that's that really has it and is moored in something real and solid and keeps them tethered so they just don't go with the wind. It is so encouraging to see. We'd love to have you back anytime. Please, dear heavens, get six hours of sleep at least.
Now we're going to worry. And we're going to be checking in on here. Brylon Hollyhand, get the book. Congrats on the book as well. And we'd love to talk with you again.

Again, that's simplepractice.com. To make bad decisions. Yeah. It's time for Florida Man. All right.
So, Florida Man was arrested after impersonating Walmart employees to steal Apple watches. Oh. Seems like a real winner-chicken dinner here, guys. A 42-year-old man faces multiple felony charges. He dressed up as an employee to steal.
Electronics from not one but two separate Tampa area locations. He entered a Walmart on Fletcher Avenue, grabbed an employee vest in an attempt to steal the watch as he fled with just the vest after the initial attempt failed. Went to another one. I'm already bored with this story. Does he do anything crazy?
No. Okay. I hope he gets arrested and dragged for being the most uninteresting criminal ever. Let's, oh, oh, oh, oh, we got a couple. Oh, these are a couple interesting ones.
So, we got another Florida man who attacked his neighbor over dog dew. I feel like there's probably a couple of other ways to solve this problem. A Lake County man, Florida man, is accused of getting into a fight with his neighbor over his dog's business. The guy whose name is Stupid, and I'm not going to say it because there's too many, it doesn't make sense. You don't get that many vowels, was arrested over the weekend in Leesburg by Lake County Sheriff's deputies.
His neighbor wasn't cleaning up after his dogs. He said he complained about it. He said something to them about it. They wouldn't pick it up.
So he apparently shouted at him, threw it at him, hit him with a bag of it. I mean, look, if you're not cleaning up your dog, do you deserve anything less? If you're not cleaning up after your dog and your dog's doodling all over somebody's yard. Maybe I shouldn't be the one that being asked about this. I'm just saying.
Also, we've got a drunk Florida man. We're back in Leesburg now, ladies and gentlemen. Leesburg was real busy over the last couple of days. A drunk Florida man who ran naked through the hallways of a renowned local hotel. Yes, naked, NEKKID.
That is the correct way to say it here in America. Thank you. The man was arrested for disorderly conduct because he ran in his birthday suit down the hallways of the hotel. The police had to respond to a suspicious person, 36-year-old Roberto Rivero, near Fifth Avenue. And he was running up and down the hallway.
And then he went outside of the hotel. Naked. Naked. right into oncoming traffic while he was talking to himself. Mm.
So uh upon arrival, employees from the Palmas Cuban restaurant We're trying to help. The cop was advised by these employees that Rivero was causing a disturbance. And he was also demanding patrons to tell him where he could buy drugs, like you need more, you're naked. And you're running around. He was hostile, uncooperative, and completely high as a kite.
So he was taken into custody after a very, very long and protracted, like, you know, hide and chase kind of thing and booked at Lake County Jail. He has to go back to court in a few days. We'll see how that goes for him. Maybe he needs to go into rehab. I'm just saying.
Uh and a Florida mayor was caught under surveillance camera at a Parks Nature Trail, taking off all his clothes. Of course. I don't know. It's in Niceville, Florida, too. A guy with a really, really thick beard, 46-year-old Bradley Patrick, was arrested at 10 o'clock in the morning, just getting naked on the trail.

Yeah. Well, Cut 19 gives you a little window into who this candidate is, if you want to. Yeah, go ahead, do it. Because this is, by the way, this is a Maine Democrat, Ashley Webb. These are the people they're trying to get to replace Platiner.
Watch. Yeah. Wow. Ashley Webb, what qualifications do you have to serve in the U.S. Senate?
Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but didn't run. And then. I'm a songwriter and then I write my own books and then I s suppose my transparency I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. I feel like I'm watching the third stepbrothers character who was cut out of the film.
I feel like I'm being deceived. Right now, him trying to tell me he's a woman. I kinda never want him to go away now. I want to make him the mascot for the Democrat Party.
So, why are you qualified to be senator?
Well, it's because I write. My own books. It's like talking to Chester from Syphil and Ollie. It's literally Chester from Ciphilonale. That's who we're looking at, like trans Chester from Ciphilonale.
All right.
My own books and um All right. Oh, yeah. I write songs too. Like, you forget mid-sentence where you are. I won an award in a Chinese checker tournament.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Democrats keep getting crazier.
So wait.
So this was. Yeah. I'm just trying to get over the optics of it also. Give me a moment because that's not at all what I thought. I didn't watch that debate.
I didn't watch any of that debate.
So and I've just seen Ashley Webb's name, but He's so he's the dude who wants to replace Plattner. One of them. One of the do. He is, okay, wait, let me look at this. Describes himself as a trans-intersex.
What is that? What is that? I don't even know what this means, but real stuff. He doesn't know either. for the record.
Ah yes. It's Friday. A trans intersex activist. And he was like, I didn't, I ran for office several times. I didn't win, but I did run.
Oh. And then he goes. His answer on ice. I love this paragraph from the New York Post. They're so petty.
Like what's going on with ICE? Pretend like these victims did something wrong. Like it's like unacceptable, said Webb, who is wearing a black and pink flower dress with white and pink sneakers.
So, you have this guy who's standing on stage with these other three people, and he's dressed like a toddler. He's dressed like someone's mom dressed their three-year-old. Here are your pink converse, and here's your pink flower dress. And he's sitting over here looking like meatloaf. You know he does, right?
