Absurd Truth: Aren't YOU A Scientist??

Dana Lashes of Sir Truth Podcast, sponsored by Kel-Tec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida Man. Have you ever had your cigarettes or nothing out near getting gas? And I was a kid and I knew that. This grown adult dude did not know that.

Ricardo Montalvo. He set a trailer on fire. He's getting gas, according to Lee County Sheriff's Office.

He's smoking his cigarette, getting gas, putting it in a container, flicked his cigarette. And he ended up, so he, they, they have a lawn and garden care. And all their lawn and garden garden care stuff was in their trailer. And he flicked his cigarette near filling up the gas container and burned down the whole damn trailer. The family said that that is literally their main income.

And now all their equipment is gone. And they're hoping insurance covers the damage. I actually don't know if that's going to happen. Because if he's smoking, and that's like negligence, don't you think that that? I mean, I don't I feel bad for him.

But I'm just saying it feels kind of like that might be a little bit of a, of a reach to make that happen. Good heavens. So I Yeah, I know. I just that's a that's a tough, tough man. You got you can't be doing that kind of stuff.

All right. Also, a, this is not DJ Fun Uncle. He hates that name. I still think it's like a party name, man. Steve hate will never ever be called that.

A Florida man confessed to stealing DJ equipment worth $65,000. And you know what, I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you.

I'm not it was something else. You know, I just I have these questions. I'm just curious.

I just you know, I got some questions that I need need answered. Let's see here this a now see, this guy didn't do it right. A Florida man was injured after crashing a homemade aircraft.

I really don't want to read the story. Couldn't he crash it into that damn balloon? Yeah, crashing the damn balloon. 78 year old Florida man was seriously injured after his homemade ultralight airplane crashed in the woods. According to deputies, the pilot had just taken off from a nearby private airport.

I mean, I'm looking at this thing. Man, this guy has beans to fly this. That's all I'm going to say man. Rescuers had to extricate the pilot who was identified as Vincent Grasso of Palm Bay. Parts of the homemade aircraft were found in trees 15 to 20 feet off the ground. The fuselage was strewn all over the woods. He had serious injuries. They took him to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona.

He's in stable condition, thankfully. But deputies said they heard the airplane they thought made to make two large hard left bank turns. Then it backfired then the engine cut off and then it went down below the tray line. So that's yeah, that's I wouldn't get in that one.

That looks like a child's craft project. Just gonna say. Neil deGrasse Tyson who I cannot stand. I just think there are certain people who get high on their own farts. And he is one of them.

This is the exact problem. In a nutshell, the problem with leftist thought, and the politicization of science. Listen, I that list of highly pedigreed medical professionals that you are citing yet.

I'm not interested in medical pedigree. I'm interested in medical consensus, in scientific consensus, the moment someone says, Well, I'm of this highfaluting school or this. That's like, okay, that means they're going to say something that goes against the consensus.

And they want to use that to help other people follow what it is they say, doesn't he just saying you need someone who represents a medical consensus here to have that conversation with which he said, quote, I'm interested in medical consensus and scientific consensus. He added, the individual scientist does not matter. So Tyson would have been against Galileo back in the day, Galileo Galilei, Tyson would have hated him. You know, because he went against the consensus, he would have hated Copernicus.

Why? Because Copernicus went against consensus. He would have hated Louis Pasteur, because Louis Pasteur went against consensus. He would have also hated Marie Curie, but because she went against consensus. He would have hated every major scientist who has done more to advance medicine, exploration, and so much more than he could ever hope to, because they went against consensus. In fact, it's the outside of the mainstream periphery. Those are the people that have driven this.

Those are the people that have driven innovation and driven real medicinal progression. His idea consensus is not synonymous with truth. Consensus isn't data. It is not evidence. Evidence is evidence.

Data is data. Consensus is neither of those things. And under his view, if Neil deGrasse Tyson had his way, hell, we'd all be putting leeches on our legs and everything else, our limbs and bleeding out to cure our illnesses. We think that the world is flat, that the sun revolves around us. Oh, we think all these things. But see, this is progressivism defined in one soundbite.

One soundbite. This is progressivism. It's this idea that an idea isn't safe, unless it is widely accepted. People have to see other people say it's okay before they can also agree that it's okay.

This is this new standard of measure that is applied when determining the veracity of any singular claim. How many people support it? I mean, if many support it, then it's true. And if not many support it, then I guess it's false. I mean, they're allowing the power of the mob to dictate reality. That explains why we are seeing some of the crazy stuff that we're seeing. I mean, it's not science. This is politics at this point.

They're destroying science. I think he needs to change his professional designation because he's a joke. I included in your newsletter, Audio Soundbite 14. Alan Savory himself is, this is from a documentary, he's a Zimbabwean livestock farmer. And he works with land management and, you know, all of this other stuff. And you know, he supports grass fed beef. And he's like, really, really, I mean, he's really into, they call him an apostate ecologist. And he's, he, for some reason, like, he's been, he's, he's being, they consider him so controversial.

Like, he's the guy who came out in 2014. And we're saying like, eat more beef and save the world. I want you to listen to the soundbite because this is what he had to say about consensus, i.e. peer reviewed paper or peer reviewed theories.

Listen to this. This is from a documentary. What is science? People talk glibly about science.

What is science? People coming out of a university with a master's degree or a PhD, you take them into the field, and they they literally don't believe anything. And this is a peer reviewed paper. It's the only thing they accept. And you say to them, but let's observe, let's think, let's discuss.

They don't do it. It's just, is it in the peer reviewed paper or not? That's their view of science.

I think it's pathetic. Gone into universities as bright young people. They come out of them brain dead, not even knowing what science means. They think it means peer reviewed papers, etc. No, that's academia. And if a paper is peer reviewed, it means everybody thought the same, therefore they approved it. An unintended consequence is that when new knowledge emerges, new scientific insights, they can never ever be peer reviewed. So we're blocking all new advances in science that are big advances. If you look at the breakthroughs in science, almost always, they don't come from the center of that profession. They come from the fringe.

The finest candle makers in the world couldn't even think of electric lights. They don't come from within. They often come from outside the breaks. I love that. And that's it.

If you get the newsletter, you got that. That's a great clip. And it's a it's a great reminder. He's like, that's not science.

That's academia. And now all of the news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick five. You don't want to miss it.

Definitely not. Alright, so this This is so funny. Officers ran to assist after they heard Christ for help. They heard this was in Oklahoma, they got a call that someone was in distress and screaming for help officers David Sneed Neal story with the unit police department responded. And they heard what sounded like a person crying for help in the distance. And then they started running through the wooded property. The screams got louder.

That's a person one of the officers says in a video posted by the police department, they reached the sound of the screams. And they discovered, in fact, it wasn't a person. It was an upset goat. It was an upset goat.

And the video the audio is a little hard to hear. But they were running and they said sometimes you can really call can really get your goat. They were like really good natured about it. But it was actually hysterical. It was an upset goat. And they joked on Facebook, thank you, you know, your swift actions help etc. So they were really good sports about it. But it is absolutely just hysterical. And it was a very upset goat.

And the goat was just like not having a good day in the pasture. So anyway, I'm gonna actually make I'm gonna send that out live in my little stack of things that I'm sending out tonight. Also, MTV News is being shut down. Now, not MTV, the MTV News Department.

So there's a difference. But that's I got my news from Kurt Loder. Who remembers Kurt Loder? Kurt Loder was the OG man. Kurt Loder was it. I love me. He taught me about Taylor Ham.

He messaged me and was telling me all about Taylor Ham. I never even knew that was the thing. And then I realized how big of a fight it is in Jersey. Also Bud Light sales there. I mean, you you hear the headlines that they're they're falling sales are bad. They're getting actually some other measurement as to how bad it is. It is their stock is downgraded. It is so much of a crisis. They had their stock downgraded and the company is in crisis. That is how bad this is.

Whoo. A massive alligator terrifies people at the it was that they was at the beach. They said it's not every day something like this happens. They were at Dauphin Island tourist hotspot, and they're an alligator swims up on the beach right there legit on the beach. That would terrify me. So what else is it? Golly, that's terrifying.

Gators scare me because they look like they got so much attitude. I don't like that. A mysterious object has been spotted. That's 10 million times as bright as the sun and scientists can't figure out why it's exploded. It's me.

It's me in the sky. I'm kidding. Maybe we have a lot more on the way.

It's like a I was always too poor to go there. I know I would be I and I was like an older child when they came out. So I mean, I really wouldn't have had a really bear any a bear anyway.

I was like in seventh grade or something like that. But anyway, I was too poor to have gone there because that stuff is expensive. It's crazy expensive when they're not made in a sweatshop. It's like pretty you know, when you got to put it together your damn self.

It's quite expensive anyway. So I used to like so RuPaul has been around for a long time. And I will say like RuPaul's never gone out there and shaking his thing for kids and all that stuff.

He's never been. But I do think this is weird. Because this timing of this couldn't this is just bad. So St. Louis is build a bear has a RuPaul bear now. If your child wants an ugly as sin bear, then you can go and get this bear.

It is ugly. It's a bear in drag. It is a the build a bear they've released this bear. It's the it wears a gold LeMay gown. A white wig.

Uh huh. And has a gold LeMay got a white wig and it has optional gold ankle strap heels. I mean, it doesn't actually have feet.

It just has little round puffy things, but you know, whatever. And they have licensing deals with Star Wars and Ted lasso bears and everything. So it's a similar collaboration. And it's and it's only available apparently online. This thing is $56.

The optional heels cost an additional $8 $8 which is you know, I guess that's what you would do for you know, in a time of inflation. I'm pretty sure Yeah, they have the Ted lasso bear. It's interesting. They don't really have it totally right. I'm just looking at some of the stuff they have. I've never been to their website. Let me look for RuPaul bear.

I want to see what they say about it. RuPaul bear. There we go. Oh, you have to be 18 year older to even view this damn page. That's crazy. I just had a click.

Yes, I'm 18 year older. So it's the online exclusive RuPaul bear. Do you want an ugly bear? Because it's ugly. This bear is ugly.

The heels are ugly. And then you get a bear stand. Who gets this?

Who would buy this? Yeah, for the ugly bear. It's an ugly bear. It looks like a drag bear. That's what it's supposed to be. But it's just ugly. I mean, this is how far it's gone.

It's gone this far. I don't know. I mean, I just think it's funny that you have to be 18 or older to view the bear on the website.

Who's maybe they're gonna make enough of these. I don't know. But I just don't. Kane is the ugly bear, right? I'm not being mean or anything. It just is just, I mean, I think toy bears were meant to, you know, cuddle with right? Like you're supposed to, you're not supposed to be like weirded out by it or anything like that. Like, teddy bears are supposed to be cuddly.

Here's how it's described. Cover bear put the fur in your walk head to pot let your whole body talk. She done already done had hers is and now you can have yours is with your very own Rupaul bear. Two iconic pop culture institutions join forces for this one of a kind collector's item. First off, who collects this?

That's nasty. Because you got to dust this stuff. This is just crap that's sitting around your house that you got to clean.

Well, okay, sidebar. So a great aunt in my family that was by marriage and was like a second wife later on, collected dolls, like the creepy China dolls, and had an entire room in their house devoted to like this kind of stuff. But it was all the dolls with their, like get up their little outfits, and all this stuff. And they weren't to play with and I was a kid. I'm like, how do you have all this stuff? First off, you're a grown woman.

In fact, you're like in your 60s. It's weird. And you have all these toys in here and you don't play with none of them. Some of them were in China cabinets that you would use for dishes. But they had the dolls in them, right? And when you would go in that room, I never went in that room. I was like, this is haunted. And because they all stared at you. And it was just weird. I just, you know, I like, I would, you know, I would, I never stayed the night there.

I was never there at night. And I'm so glad because that was the creepiest room in any house anywhere in the country. And this, this bear, this is, this, this bear makes, so I have another story. You want to hear this other story that's related to this? So when I was in elementary school, we would tell these scary stories to each other. And one of the stories that actually terrified me as a kid was a story of this possessed bear, excuse me, that was given to this kid. And this possessed bear would go out at night, excuse me, and go out and kill everybody, right?

Go and kill people. And then the bear would come back and then snuggle up in bed and act like he was there the whole night. The kid would wake up and his bear's there, right? Or her bear's there. Well, anyway, the bear was finally, you know, just not satisfied anymore by going out and killing everybody there. So he decided to kill his little kid owner. And the kid found out so he cut his bear up and threw it in the trash. And then the little pieces of the bear got out of the trash can, they all carried knives, you know, they ended up having to set it on fire. Anyway, long story short, if any bear was going to do it, it would be this one. Just look at it. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lashes absurd truth podcast.
