Absurd Truth: BRAT

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. I love how the stories that have to do with the villages, they always call them like a villager. Like it's Minecraft, right? You know the NPCs in Minecraft? That's all they say.

They just make that noise. Is this a villager story? It is a villager.

We got a villager. He was convicted now. So his sentencing is in. It's a good story. So his sentencing is in it. It's news. He got convicted last year of golf cart road rage.

I didn't even know that was a thing. That's what he got. This guy, Sheldon Engstrom, he's 60. He's a villager. He was booked in Sumter County Detention Center Tuesday night after the sentencing. He pled no contest in Sumter County Court to battery and resisting arrest in connection with a golf cart road rage incident. He's been placed on probation for a year ordered to perform 40 hours of service.

He also had a right. He also was ordered to complete anger management. He had to write an apology letter. So what what what happened? It was a road rage altercation. So what happened, he apparently got impatient with a line of golf carts in front of him on the golf cart path. And he tried to pass other golf carts. And then he stopped at a stop sign and attempted to wave some golf carts past him.

And a woman in a golf cart indicated she did not want to go around him. And he started yelling and screaming at her. And then he got out of his cart and began walking aggressively towards that golf cart. And then he began chest bumping the guy who got out of that golf cart.

This is like watching Nat Geo. And then he told the one guy told Engstrom to leave him alone and said what the hell is wrong with you? And then he threatened to hit the lady and they chest but they literally chest bumped aggressively multiple times. No, with the guy who was in the cart with the lady.

And they called the police on him and they arrested this guy at home. So really, like the most that came out of it was chest bumping. I swear I saw this. I've seen this literally like in the wild. Not I haven't, you know, like on Nat Geo, right? So this guy's sentence.

That's just, if you're gonna go that length, I'm just, you know, let's see here this. She said she couldn't afford to go to jail. Boy, Lake County, Florida. She was arrested after she fled from a traffic stop. She says she couldn't afford to go to jail. She told the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Corn Perkins 33 was charged with felony fleeing in an attempt to elude law enforcement driving while her license was revoked. And she this was after a vehicle incident that happened this happened late last week. They tried to pull her over. She didn't stop. She just sped away, literally sped. She was speeding. And they didn't chase her, but another deputy was able to find her abandoned vehicle. And they tracked her and they were able to they put her in jail. She said they're on $7,500 bond.

Definitely can't afford it now. So look, that's what you know, what happened? There you go.

Don't don't play stupid games and you won't win stupid prizes. A good guy Florida dentist saved a man who was choking in Port Orange restaurant. Patrick Cole was at the first watch restaurant his with his wife. When a bite of food got stuck in his throat, Dr. Sean Bannon was sitting a few tables away. He noted noticed that the guy was distressed. He said as soon as he put his hands to his throat, he said it was like a knee jerk reflex. I was reflex I was on my feet. After a few repetitions, Bannon cleared the food.

Cole could breathe freely. He took a few minutes decompressed but was okay. So he literally just saved his life.

So that's a that's pretty wild. I wrote a story about the guy Dr. Heimlich who invented the maneuver never actually performed it until like one day when he was old. And then he performed it. You would think that he performed that maneuver a million times.

A Florida man was arrested after forcing his way into a woman's home and hugging her. 29 year old Florida man. He's got too many names. I need to take a deep breath for all his names.

Nestor Miguel Zavala Zepeda. That's a lot. You pick drop one. You know, it's like, what is the rule about jewelry? If you're standing in front of your mirror with all your jewelry on take off one thing before you leave the house. Otherwise, you're over accessorized and that's tacky. Okay, well, you have too many names. Stop it.

It's tacky or over accessorized. So this 29 year old broke into this lady's home Monday and hugged her. He got charged with battery and burglary.

The 21 year old victim said she found her neighbor sitting on her porch. And deputies say he stopped her from closing the door gained injury inside hugged her without her consent. She got him out of her residence called 911. So he's in there under $20,000 bond. He did try to get back into her apartment. I feel like if he would have been able to get back in, I don't think it would have stopped at hugging. I think he'd probably done something. I've done something more I should say. But that's golly people are I don't know if you're I feel like maybe also to she knew that he was probably a weirdo from the beginning because the stories like she immediately was all weirded out because he was right there in front of her house so that are her apartment door. And let's see.

A Florida man is accused of stealing a truck crashing through a fence at Jacksonville International Airport. He told police whatever I took to not was not cocaine. Yeah, well, that's it, guys.

He didn't he says you didn't take the cocaine. So partners who will bring you free radio the folks over Caltech, the p 15. If you don't have it, you should. Why don't you have it?

This is an actual story at the economist is Kamala Harris brat. I kid you not. The economist asks Kane is Kamala Harris brat. And I thought you mean like bratty a brat? No, no, no, no, folks, we are enjoying a new somewhat time honored tradition of just butchering and bastardizing the English language to fit the album of a pop star. Because apparently some pop singer came out because it's not metal and it's not actual punk.

So I'm uninterested. And she came out like with brat summer now everything's brat. So it's Kamala Harris brat.

And I keep seeing this over and over again. And I'm thinking bratty brat. It's like the people who say conversate is a word. conversate isn't a word. converse is a word. converse scene is a word. conversate is not my cicada scream.

It's not a word. So I feel like the same thing is happening here. Steve, you you you're familiar with brat. Correct?

I stay familiar with pop culture and music just for my for my side gigs. Yeah, I think I have a gist on it. So, I mean, it's the same thing as like brat the word, right? No, it derives from Charlie XCX's album called brat.

But a lot of her what I understand, it's essentially just like, a punk or way of saying like a girl that can get her stuff done, but also party at the same time, that kind of thing. You just have a stroke? No, I just cannot make enough face.

I cannot pull enough. That's the best way I can describe it. So basically, so Kane was like, oh, it's like hot girl summer. So it's not a hot girl, though. It's like maybe a moderately attractive girl who's a jack wagon. So she's cute. So she's brat.

It's like it's like a Y2K version of like a female yuppie. You know what I mean? Yeah. Why do we have to destroy the English language, though? Why do we have to like make every Oh, like how people invent words like conversate? Why? Oh, this is brat.

We can't just say oh, it's brat. I don't know. I don't care if I sound Sofia Patrillo years old. I really don't care right now. I don't care. I saw this and I'm like, this is at The Economist. Of all the places, The Economist. I mean, that's not a place where I expected to see this headline came.

But here we are. And then everyone's like, why is inflation so bad? Why can't I afford groceries? Why am I dying of hunger?

Like literally. No, it's because your hunger's brat. Brat girl summer.

I hate everything. Oh, my gosh. I mean, that's just where and then it begins with her coconut tree quote.

I've just I'm dead. I mean, I this is somebody wrote this honest someone God love them. God love their little hearts. They wrote it on his cane.

They wrote the story like that seems like a good story. And am I the only one that sees the word brat and just automatically thinks brat? Like bratwurst.

Am I the only one that thinks that? Like you looked at this as Kamala Harris, German hot dog? Is she brat? Is she brat?

Like what is this? Is she brat? Is she brat? I don't know. I think you might be hungry, my friend.

That's how little I care about culture. Is Kamala Harris German hot dog? Delicious. Brats are good. I like that snap skin. Feels like you're snapping a bone. Very good. Got to be great. Yeah.

No, you can smoke them, too. Yeah. OK. So anyway, that's yeah. That was at the actual article at The Economist that was written like in this in this, you know, in this era. So there are some people, by the way, and I saw that it was put up.

We got it up. It's like I'm going to get I'm sure I'm positive I'll get on our show account because people are like that. That Algerian fighter isn't trans. OK, prove it, because the dude failed gender tests plural because there were multiple and another league would not let the dude compete. So, I mean, if you're a chick, you shouldn't be failing gender tests to prove that you're a woman. And I don't trust any of you people.

I don't trust any of these people. I'm not going to know those gender tests, by the way. They're not the kind of test you study for. Yeah, I don't I don't know why you get better at it. And the next time you get tested, I'll just study more so I can pass that gender test like that.

I don't know. But I'm waiting because Steve just put it up like 30 seconds ago. So I'm just waiting for people to especially the contrarians on the right. Now, Dana, now contrarians. This is Kay to scream, you know, just going to start doing that anytime, anytime these any of these fools step up.

All right. We got Florida man on the way. And now I want some bratwurst, dude. No, I mean, gosh, everything is now ridiculous. And it just puns keep coming. Just never going to stop.

Literally ever will never stop as we do. So our partners that help bring you free radio, it's the folks over at Hillsdale, an actual educational institution. Hillsdale was founded to pursue truth and defend liberty and founded in 1844. It's a small Christian classical liberal arts college in southern Michigan. And they have they've they've been educating students on the principles of the republic so as to preserve the republic. And they have a lot of really awesome things for you available for free on their website.

So you don't have to live in southern Michigan to take advantage of any of this. You can go to Dana for a four Hillsdale dot com and you can check out like for instance, they have this video of Thomas Jefferson. It's a deep dive into based on an actual letter that he wrote later in his life where he was reflecting on the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. And they were prolific letter writers. All the founders were particularly Jefferson. And it's a really fascinating examination of what he thought about how they how the republic came to be and where it was to go in this actual based on an actual letter. So it's a really interesting video. You can access it at Dana for fo our Hillsdale dot com.

And in appreciation, you'll also get a free commemorative copy of the declaration from Hillsdale to keep her pass on to somebody. You know, all of the news you would probably miss time for Dana's quick five. All right. So first up, the Dow's closed nearly 500 points lower on Thursday as investors recession fears awaken. This is according from CNBC. The latest numbers, which we're going to get into, are not good at all. In fact, I mean, this is I mean, are you really shocked over any of this stuff? Because I'm not.

No one's shocked over it. This new study says dogs help their owners become healthier. Sixty one percent of dog owners admit that spending time with their dog is the single best part of their day. I agree. I wish that I could not see except for you guys. I like you guys. I would just love to spend only time with dogs.

No people because people are horrible, just dogs. But they said this and this is like one of the million surveys that they come out with. I don't even understand what the point of the survey is. It's stupid. It's the same as the stupid survey that we had in stupid headlines last year. It's the same stuff.

It's all dumb. Dogs are amazing, though. They're great.

We like dogs. Sea lions are stranded on California's coast with signs of poisoning by harmful algae. I don't know how this happens, but they said it apparently has. They said that sea lions are they're stranded on the stretch of California coast with signs of it's like the algae bloom or whatever.

Something like that. They said that there's the stretch of the coast and they've been eating harmful algae. The Channel Islands and Marine Wildlife Institute said that since July 26, they've been inundated by daily reports of six sea lions along a whole 155 miles of shoreline in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. The marine mammals, mammals works too, they're suffering from domoic acid. It's a neurotoxin that affects the brain and heart. And it's largely affecting adult female sea lions because algae is sexist.

The nonprofit said that it rescued 23 animals so far. They said that they're seeking there. They see the outbreaks of this. It's like that. It's the just weird blooming algae is what it is. They foam with the mouth.

They can have seizures. Maybe don't eat the algae, you stupid sea lions. Actually, it's not their fault. It really isn't. It's probably our fault. It's probably, it's probably MAGA fault. Who knows?

I mean, isn't that usually how it goes? The Army's million, 11 million dollar deal, sorry, with the rock has backfired spectacularly. The Army spent millions of dollars getting Dwayne Johnson and his football league, Davey Beast brought in hell with your stupid pop up ads with their little, his football league. They said that they, the contract, they required him to post five Army ads on his Instagram and he only posted two. And then the U.F.L., that minor league competitor to the NFL that he co-owns. They were also to play these ads during games and place them on players uniforms.

But apparently the deal was so catastrophic that the Army projected it may have lost 38 enlistments instead of gating thousands of new recruits and they want their money back. I've heard that he can be a diva. I've heard that. I've heard a lot of stories about the rock from a lot of people who work with him.

Just saying. And they're like, oh, he's a good partner. You know, I'm going to kind of believe some of the people that I know that have worked with him and they're like, he's a diva. I also heard that Jack Black smells from a very famous actor that I'm not going to name.

It did. He's well, I could. He's no longer on earth, but you know. Going to be very real here for a second. As you can probably tell, I've been crying a little bit. I always get these comments, but like recently it kind of ramped up was I get comments being called a man and being called masculine and ask if I'm on steroids. There will always be negative people out there and they put women in a box and they think of women should be fragile and petite and quiet and meek.

But that's not the case. Women can be strong and they can have broad shoulders and they can take up space and they can be big. I think I'm getting emotional because I feel very passionate about this. Don't let anybody try to find or dictate how you feel about yourself.

You get to decide that. So this is Ilona Maher. Yeah. Well, I have a friend who says Maher whose name is spelled the exact same way, but her name is Ilona Maher and she's a rugby player and she's at the Olympics. She's, you know, Team USA. She's been documenting her U.S. rugby player documenting her time over in Paris in the games. And she is an absolute like butt kicker. She's a fabulous player and we have some of it. Our just somebody 23 some of her. She's like in beast mode. I mean, she just like most through these defenders, just mows them down.

And I mean, she's an she's a great player. And I got to say and I want to I want to preface this by saying it was a very, very few. It was a few number of people, wasn't a lot, but there were some people that, you know, these are our, you know, our fellow Patriots. And these are, you know, these are some people because I haven't seen like a whole it's been kind of like folks on. And I've seen some of some of our people I've followed on X who have who have asked like, who is this?

Is this a dude and have asked these questions? And I get that it has been a brawl. And I just had a story last hour about two dudes who were fighting in women's boxing in the Olympics. Now, I don't know anything about Ilona Mar, except literally just because after this story and when I first saw videos, I saw some videos where people were talking about it and I didn't pay any attention on X because I was looking.

I mean, we had kind of a few other things to follow. I always she always seemed like even though she was built very athletically, she always had a feminine air about her. And I think that that is true, no matter. And I really do think that women are really good, no matter how good the makeup is or anything else. You can tell when somebody is a dude and all the surgery there.

I can't I can't explain it. There is a femininity that I think women have naturally, no matter if they're tomboys or not. That and it doesn't matter, honestly, sexual preference either. They just have there's like a thought there's something that they have. And I say this because I have family members, you know, cousin is a lesbian.

I have family members who are took after more of their dad's side of the family than their mom's side of the family. And we're built very muscular and and very broad shouldered. But it doesn't matter. There's a feminine thing, but I don't know what it is. So when I my whole point saying this is that when I first saw videos of her, I was like, oh, she's a chick. She's very athletic chick. And there were a couple of people that I followed that I ended up seeing who were saying, why is this dude playing on the rugby team and saying all this stuff? And apparently she saw some of it. And that's what she's responding to on her Instagram.

And my point of bringing this up is that I think that in this cultural battle, and that's exactly what it is. I think that people need to be careful not to hit the passer by who are not even in the lane. Because she's just I mean, she's just a top athlete and some women and I know a lot of women. I have some very dear friends of mine who are taller than me and who are even more broad shouldered than their husbands. Everybody's built different. Some women are just built with more muscle.

One of my friends is built very, very broad. She was like she was junior Olympics for volleyball. She played volleyball throughout college.

And, you know, all of that. I have other friends who played women's lacrosse. I mean, there's not everybody's, you know, built the same. I know you all know this and I preach into the choir here, but I think that women who are just built like athletes that hardly makes them dudes or members of trans Tifa.

And I think we need to not focus or try to hit people bystanders that aren't even in the lane that we're racing in right now and that we're fighting in. Because this woman could be an ally. And at a time when we are fighting for the soul and very existence of women's sports, this is not the thing to get into because she might be a little bit have a little bit greater musculature than your average woman. I mean, I just so she's built like a shield maiden and everybody talks about shield maidens. Well, hot damn.

Now you got one. And so I don't know. I just think that people lose the plot when they focus on bystanders like that. And I was kind of sad to see a couple of the people I follow that were kind of promoting this stuff. I mean, people saying that, you know, she's you know, she looked like a man or or whatever. I also think if you can't tell a woman from a man, you have some issues, no matter how good the makeup is or how perky the fake breasts are.

I feel like you may have some issues if you can't tell because I can tell I have never, ever been wrong. There's like I said, there's a certain feminine air there. And I just, you know, if you're out there saying, well, this looks like a man.

I mean, if you can't tell, then that's kind of says more about you than anybody else, I think. And she's actually I mean, she's a beautiful woman. She's, you know, tall. She's built very athletically. She's strong. She can mow down those defenders like we saw in the clip. But she's representing her team.

Well, you know what? She's a woman playing on a woman's team at a time when women's sports is under attack. She's a badass. End of. And I don't think she needs to explain anything. I don't think she needs to apologize for anything either.

Just, you know, we don't we don't need to be we don't need to be getting involved in when picking on people who are not in the lane.
