00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,320
his laugh mission to make bad decisions.

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,839
Speaker 2: It's time for Florida man.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 3: I have to really quickly share with you this one

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,760
story Florida woman Amberson and about the worst parking job ever.

6
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:22,559
In Clearwater, Florida, police charge a driver with the DUI

7
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:25,399
because he parked his car. I had to make sure

8
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:27,559
that it wasn't a woman pretending to be a man.

9
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:31,320
He parked his car off like it was hanging off

10
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:37,439
a pier. Like literally the front tires were over the

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,560
wall and it was hanging off. The driver, thirty year

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,399
old Matthew Adams faces a dui. I what was he

13
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:47,560
following Google Maps?

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:47,679
Speaker 1: Like?

15
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:51,759
Speaker 3: What was the problem? He literally parked, that's what he said.

16
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:56,560
He parked behind Pure House sixty on Coronado Drive. It

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,520
was a Lexus RX Lexus RX. I mean, I can't

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,040
believe it didn't fall in because the front tires are

19
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:06,519
both over the concrete wall.

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: But okay, that's you know, all right? Uh let's see that.

21
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 3: Jeez, Fox Fox thirty five Earliando, a Florida man exposes

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,680
himself during a road rage incident, screamed and looked away

23
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:22,519
in fear. Wait who did James? Of course, his name

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,200
is James Box fifty six. He was arrested in charge

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,079
with exposure of his sexual secks h u L sexual

26
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:35,040
organs after an incident he was driving on the highway.

27
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:37,599
People should not be doing more than one thing when driving,

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,200
and the one thing they should be doing is driving.

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,120
Don't be on your phone, don't be putting makeup on,

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,120
don't be exposing your sexual organs. To paint the law

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,159
in the highway, they said that there was another driver

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840
in a Kia Optima. I don't know why they felt

33
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:51,599
like it was important to mention that, but there was

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,319
another driver that it was a road rage incident.

35
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: They said that.

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,439
Speaker 3: The driver swerved around them, cut them off, and that

37
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:03,200
was Box, the driver of the key Optima, and then

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,159
Box through objects at the other driver's vehicle while screaming,

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,240
and then later on in the highway he began to

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
charge the other driver. I'm trying to figure out how

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,240
this happens while you're driving. He pulled his shorts down

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,840
and exposed his franken beans. According to the police Affidavid,

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,960
this is my favorite part of the story. The victims

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,280
advised two victims advice. They screamed and looked away in

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,400
fear when the defendant exposed himself. So how are you

46
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,319
driving on the road and you're doing this? The article

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,479
is unclear? How does that happen? So they was arrested

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,360
leader that afternoon by deputies. He denied being involved. He goes,

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,759
they must be confused. He posted one thousand dollars bond

50
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,240
and he's out.

51
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, he don't know exactly. How can

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,159
I be honest? He looks like he would do that.

53
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:02,479
Speaker 3: He's got a neck tat and he's got crazy eyes.

54
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:05,120
And when a man normally, if a man has crazy ice,

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,039
he's just crazy. But the neck tat, that's like having

56
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,000
a tramp stamp and crazy ice, you.

57
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,599
Speaker 2: See what I mean.

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: Like it's a variable that escalates the danger up by

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,439
a level. Right, So he is like powered up one.

60
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,360
So he's got plus necktat, you know, necktat power.

61
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:24,439
Speaker 2: All right? Uh? Oh, I got more? I got more.

62
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,479
Speaker 3: If Florida man went to the beach searching for sea

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,479
turtle nests, found found Oh, he found almost five million

64
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,840
dollars in cocaine.

65
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: Instead.

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,199
Speaker 3: It's a good thing he got it, not those sea

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,840
turtles are Hunter Biden. He went, Now, Hunter Biden's going

68
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,360
to be interested in sea turtles. Watch this guy discovered

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,560
seventy pounds of cocaine, just like out on the beach.

70
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:43,159
Speaker 2: He went looking, isn't it?

71
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:45,039
Speaker 3: Aren't you not supposed to look for sea turtles?

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,639
Speaker 2: Nest? So was this guy admitting to like committing a

73
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:53,800
crime he can't take, but can you look? How do

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,199
you find?

75
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: He found cocaine bricks four point eight million. They think

76
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,240
that it washed up on the beach and they was

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,439
wrapped in plastic with a picture of an eagle on top.

78
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:04,919
And they said, well, it's rare here to have this

79
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,840
much cocaine wash up on the beach. To have any

80
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:14,319
I would think would be rare. Let me share with

81
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,560
you this media story. This is crazy. This is we

82
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120
talk about media malpractice. By the way, we're gonna have

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,920
Carol Roth on tomorrow about all that we talk about

84
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:26,959
media malpractice. And this is one of the worst I

85
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:29,800
think I've ever I've seen in recent times. So PBS,

86
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,680
you guys know, let me explain to you for really

87
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:35,920
quickly before I get into the story. PBS Public Broadcasting

88
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,480
Station is owned by the Corporation for public broadcasting or

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,480
is under not owned, it's under it's regulated, it's managed

90
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,360
by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which receives annually half

91
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:52,360
a billion dollars in taxpayer money. And in fact, you

92
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:56,399
might remember back several years ago when Trump wanted to

93
00:04:56,439 --> 00:05:00,839
cut money to the Corporation for Public broad Casting CPB.

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,560
I always say it out loud so people don't get

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,720
it confused with customs and border patrol. So he wanted

96
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:11,680
to cut the funding like to zero for the Corporation

97
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,680
for Public Broadcasting, and the left lost their mind and

98
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,759
they said it was an attack on free speech. And

99
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,600
even though it's a government funded thing, it's it's propaganda.

100
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:23,560
Now here's why I give you that structure, because again,

101
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:26,759
remember they get half a half a billion. It was

102
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,600
something like four hundred and fifty five million dollars that

103
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,240
they got. That was the last appropriation I think there

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,959
was from twenty twenty two. So Judy Woodroof, who is

105
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,160
with PBS, which gets its money from the Corporation for

106
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,399
Public Broadcasting, which gets its money from entirely the government.

107
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:48,959
They always say, oh, no generous donors, No, no, a

108
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:51,480
fraction of them give more than what they pay in taxes.

109
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: So Judy Woodroof.

110
00:05:55,399 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: Was speaking on to a live audience, and this was

111
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:07,240
in Chicago. This was in Chicago on a PBS roundtable,

112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,079
and they were they had an audience and they were

113
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:14,720
talking about the ceased fire, any kind of potential negotiation

114
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:20,959
for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and Woodruff was

115
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,199
saying that she knew that there wasn't going to be

116
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,600
one because this is what she said. She said, quote,

117
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,439
the reporting is that former President Trump is on the

118
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:33,639
phone with the Prime Minister of Israel urging him not

119
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,439
to cut a deal right now because it's believed that

120
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:38,399
it would help the Harris campaign.

121
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: End quote. That's what she said, verbatim.

122
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,079
Speaker 3: And then she adds, who knows whether that will come

123
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,439
out or not, but I have to think that the

124
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what

125
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,879
presidents do, which is to work on that one. So

126
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,759
and she's she used to be on News Hour and

127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,680
then she just was slammed for it. So she presents

128
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000
this as an actual headline. I read you the quote.

129
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,000
I read you the quote. She says, you know, the

130
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,759
reporting is that he's telling Nan Yahoo to not cut

131
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,120
this steal because it would benefit the Harris campaign. So

132
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:14,240
then she gets a lot of fleck for this right

133
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,120
because people were like, where are you getting this from?

134
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: What do you mean? What reports?

135
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: So she tries to come back on it, and she

136
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:26,519
writes on X she says, quote, I want to clarify

137
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,160
my remarks on the PBS News special Monday night about

138
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,120
the ongoing ceasefire talks in the Middle East.

139
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: She says, as I said, like this is some sort

140
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:35,120
of excuse for her.

141
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,879
Speaker 3: Now, remember how I told you how she said the

142
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,000
statement based on reporting. She goes, as, I said, this

143
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,040
is not based on my original reporting I was talking about.

144
00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:48,519
She said, the reports and axios embroiders about Trump having

145
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,079
spoken to the Israeli Prime minister, and in the live

146
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,040
TV moment, I repeated the story, you know, et cetera,

147
00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:56,600
et cetera, And she's like, you know, I made a.

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,319
Speaker 2: Mistake and for that I apologize.

149
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,639
Speaker 3: So she just approached She just repeats, like not conjecture.

150
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,240
And by the way, people have been looking for like

151
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,959
the reports that she's talking about. So she repeats this,

152
00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:17,439
and this story went wild like everyone, oh, Trump is

153
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,240
trying to tank the ceasefire discussion. He doesn't he doesn't

154
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:24,319
want the ceasefire discussion. He's trying to because of the

155
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:26,079
Harris campaign and they were trying to really make him

156
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:30,000
look bad. And this is what And then she has

157
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:31,879
to come out and say, well, this is based on

158
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:39,240
my original reporting, not that this was. Oh my gosh,

159
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:43,200
do you not have a responsibility because she calls herself

160
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,559
as she calls herself a journalist, right, does she not

161
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:53,919
have a responsibility to I don't know, maybe just be

162
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,879
somewhat honest and accurate when you're repeating news. Oh my gosh,

163
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,480
she makes it up entirely what she did, because people

164
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:05,120
are like, where are these stories that are saying this.

165
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,799
Speaker 2: She's making it up entirely.

166
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: And she says, I'm just reporting this from and I'm

167
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,120
looking actually at I'm looking at her tweet. I'm just

168
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:16,320
reporting this, you know, from Axios and Reuters in that

169
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:24,320
except it's not there. Both sides everybody was denying it.

170
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,480
They're like, wait a minute, there's here's the problem. The

171
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,759
original and this is what I have. The original reporting

172
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240
that they had on it. They were reporting on the ceasefire.

173
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,320
It didn't have anything about Trump calling them. They actually

174
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:41,600
wrote a second piece about this saying Natanyahu's office denies

175
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,879
a call with Trump about the guy's a hostage ceasefire deal.

176
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,639
They had a whole story denying that that ever happened.

177
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,639
They never claimed that it happened. They just said that

178
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,080
this was like floating around and he denied it and

179
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,240
it never happened. Literally, no one, not Axios and I

180
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:01,039
didn't even find anything with Reuters, like had a piece

181
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,440
where they were dispelling this worders that you even have one.

182
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: No one, literally nobody had that. Nobody was running that

183
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:08,879
as a story.

184
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:13,799
Speaker 3: There was no outlet at all whatsoever that was reporting

185
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:16,639
that as a fact. Nobody was saying Donald Trump is

186
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,960
calling Benjamin Netanyahu and telling him not to accept the ceasefire.

187
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:25,559
Not a single one, not a single one. She literally

188
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,480
made it up. She pulled it out of her ass

189
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,120
and ran with it. She made it up entirely, and

190
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:38,360
she is still on air. Her salary is paid for

191
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,919
by us. She is a Judy Woodroof is a glorified

192
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,600
welfare recipient on the taxpayer teat as part of PBS,

193
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,279
which is under corporation for Public Broadcasting, which receives half

194
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,320
a billion taxpayer dollars every year. Their appropriations make that happen.

195
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:01,840
And that's the level of reporting that is ONBS. She

196
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,840
made it up. She made it up out of the

197
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:08,679
ether and ran with it. And then she tries to

198
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,279
blame two other outlets, one of which didn't even write

199
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,639
about it at all, and the other one only wrote

200
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,720
about how, oh there's a rumor going around this never happened,

201
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,200
and she she just made it up. Why are they

202
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,399
getting public funding? Why is a government agency running with

203
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,440
false or dare I say misinformation? This is this not

204
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,039
the same government that wanted to create a disinformations? Are

205
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,120
is this not disinformation? I mean, this is like Dan

206
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:47,080
rather level of violations in terms of journalistic ethics. Judy Woodruff,

207
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,960
that's insane. She and she's like, oh, I'm sorry, I'd

208
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,519
read it there. She doubled down and that was her response.

209
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,639
So she lied about a story on stage, then she

210
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,440
on Twitter defending herself about it. You do not loathe

211
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:08,879

234
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:18,399
It's time for Dana's Quick five.

235
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,879
Speaker 3: This headline brings me so much joy I think my

236
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:26,480
heart started beating again because I've never so related to

237
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:28,840
a headline more in my entire life. You know your

238
00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:32,559
girls a cynic, right, Okay, I wake up cinecle. So

239
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:37,080
this study, the headline is the average person knows if

240
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:44,200
their day has been ruined by eight thirty six am.

241
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,159
Speaker 2: Like, that's right, you know it?

242
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:47,279
Speaker 1: Which time zone?

243
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,759
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great question. I think just their time zone.

244
00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:53,919
It says one bad morning can derail everything. They did

245
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,720
this survey and it shows that Americans know if they're

246
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,480
in for a bad day by eight thirty six And

247
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,759
they surveyed two thousand Americans and they found the average

248
00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:06,279
person endorse four bad days a month, So that's forty

249
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:08,360
eight days or a month and a half of bad

250
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,799
days annually. And then over twenty six percent of respond

251
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,519
and said that when something goes away in the morning,

252
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:17,480
the day seems totally lost, Like if they wake up

253
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:19,200
feeling sick, or if they didn't sleep well, if they

254
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,200
lost their keys, or if they wake up with a headache,

255
00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:23,320
or or women, if they mess up their makeup or

256
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:23,919
their hair's bad.

257
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,399
Speaker 2: I mean, they just know it. You know, it's not

258
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,159
going to be their day. I thought that was hysterical.

259
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: Parents are baffled by high school principal Robert Nunez giving

260
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,320
a mascot lap dance as the oh boy, this is

261
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,840
over in the sun. Parents are this isn't Atwater, California,

262
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:45,159
Bohawk Colony High School in Central Valley, they held it

263
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,480
back to school pep rally and apparently parents are furious

264
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:55,039
because their principal gave and received a lap dance from

265
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,240
the school mascot and there were actual students there going,

266
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:00,240
am I a square that's getting old?

267
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:01,159
Speaker 2: Or was this weird?

268
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: Like students were They were actually like putting that out

269
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,879
on TikTok, and so the parents are very upset. They're like, uh,

270
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:10,679
why is this happening? Like apparently like the mascot was

271
00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:12,480
tworking on him and all this stuff that Like you're

272
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,240
at a high school, you.

273
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,679
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?

274
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: If you can't differentiate, you know, the club from the

275
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,960
high school, then maybe you shouldn't be an education. So

276
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,679
coming up, I have to tell you last night we

277
00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:25,320
were at dinner, went to go just went to like

278
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:33,000
a a sushi place and they cut up like a

279
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,919
big tune. I can't remember how many pounds. It was.

280
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,360
They cut up this big tune of their and you

281
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:40,360
can you can purchase some meat off it. I didn't

282
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,840
eat off that, but you can buy some meat off it.

283
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,080
And I've never I've seen influencers before, but I've never

284
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,559
seen like a whole influencer op in the.

285
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,519
Speaker 2: Wild like I did.

286
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:57,519
Speaker 3: And I watched this, like this table of chicks, and

287
00:15:57,559 --> 00:15:59,799
I thought they were really I mean, they were dressed

288
00:15:59,879 --> 00:16:00,200
very very.

289
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,759
Speaker 2: Nice, overdressed maybe for the restaurant.

290
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,759
Speaker 3: Probably, but they were going up to the fish and

291
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,440
taking pictures with it, you know, trout pout ironically and

292
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,320
you know, peace sign and taking pictures with it and

293
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,039
all that stuff. And I thought it was interesting that

294
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,559
there was another girl that was with them that held

295
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,159
up a giant light. One of them had like a

296
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,279
Nicon camera with a giant light on it, and they

297
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,159
all had like ring lights and all this other stuff.

298
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: They were sitting at their table.

299
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,679
Speaker 3: And the reason why I noticed it is because I

300
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,399
saw it at the corner of my eye, just like

301
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:29,840
the a ball of sun. And I look over and

302
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:32,320
there was there was an entire table. I took a

303
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,840
quick picture of it was I put it up on

304
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,919
my Instagram stories. There was an entire table of inflat

305
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,200
They all had their own lights, and I don't know

306
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,759
how long their food sat there. Like I'm just like,

307
00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:47,559
if you're getting you know, fresh fish, you're getting sushi,

308
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,120
you kind of want to.

309
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:48,759
Speaker 2: Eat it kind of quick.

310
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: You don't want it to sit there, you know what

311
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:54,159
I'm saying. And it was like fifteen minutes that they

312
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,720
took were taking pictures of stuff. Can They could not

313
00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:01,960
have been over twenty five And I'm looking at them

314
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,879
doing this. They all had their and it got to

315
00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:07,519
the point they had a tripod. It got to the

316
00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:09,799
point that it was like if you were sitting by them,

317
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:11,160
that would have been distracting.

318
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:13,039
Speaker 2: You know.

319
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: It's you know, in the late in the evening, you

320
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:17,039
got certain lighting in the restaurant. You know, if you're

321
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:18,440
trying to take advantage of that, you don't want to

322
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,039
be sitting next to a table where they have every

323
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,240
god forsaken.

324
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: Light on their food. And they're all like, eh, you

325
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:23,519
know doing that.

326
00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 3: I'm just like, can you just take just a regular

327
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,279
phone picture of your food like a normal person? And

328
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,079
you know, I'm like, I don't even think that, you know,

329
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,880
I think that's over lit and you guys are not

330
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,960
lighting experts, and this is just overkill.

331
00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:36,599
Speaker 2: It was crazy.

332
00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: And there was a table people next to them that

333
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,920
I could tell they were annoyed because they kept getting

334
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:44,799
up and doing and like they were taking turns getting

335
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:46,440
into the photo, and that means they kept having to

336
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,119
get up and kept having to bump the chair of

337
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,079
the next person by them, and they had all the

338
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,559
lights there, and I knew that that other table was

339
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:56,640
getting aggravated. I've never seen a whole op like that

340
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,680
in the WHILD before, though.

341
00:17:58,559 --> 00:17:59,759
Speaker 2: It was a big.

342
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,519
Speaker 3: Thing, and I just I'm looking at I'm like you,

343
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,880
I'm like together, they probably have thirteen thousand followers and

344
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,240
they're doing all of this stuff. And the other table

345
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:10,920
they I could totally tell it looked like a double date.

346
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,119
I could totally tell they were getting aggravated. I could

347
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,880
tell so because the one woman she had her purse

348
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,880
on part of her chair and it dropped when she

349
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,559
got bumped, and she was, oh my gosh, it was

350
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:19,160
a big ordeal.

351
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,559
Speaker 2: Anyway, but I was reading this, I don't know.

352
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: I was reading this piece about the social media consumption

353
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:32,359
and about influencers, and there's this belief that it's dying

354
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:37,640
as it relates to dictating retail and a lot of

355
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,440
consumer practices because people are getting turned off by the

356
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,160
influencer stuff. They're getting turned off on it partly. And

357
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,559
what's funny is is because of the horrible economy that

358
00:18:50,599 --> 00:18:54,200
all these leftist governments have created, because people are broken,

359
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,519
the last thing that they want to see are influencers

360
00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:59,319
taking pictures of all their bougie stuff and then trying

361
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,759
to get you to buy online. You know, that's like,

362
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,720
that's like part of the problem, which I this is

363
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,559
one of the reasons why I think it's so hysterical

364
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:11,680
that Harry Walls they are trying to hire influencers to

365
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,240
sell their policies, and their policies are bougie things that

366
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,440
people can't afford, you know. I mean, you're sitting here

367
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,440
talking about increasing the cost of food and having and

368
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:28,319
introducing scarcity through Venezuelan price controls. That's crazy. Having a

369
00:19:28,319 --> 00:19:32,000
belief set like that is a luxury that people cannot afford,

370
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,119
and the left thinks that it makes you look edgy.

371
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,079
And the left loves doing things that try to make

372
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,519
them look edgy with when they have personality deficits, they

373
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:44,160
try to offset it in other stupid ways, like I'm

374
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,000
a Marxist.

375
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: Right.

376
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: It's like how the fat ugly gothchicks, not all of

377
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,599
them are are fat and ugly, but they decide to

378
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,920
be like edgy because they.

379
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,839
Speaker 2: Can't be like the Barbie types. You know what I'm saying.

380
00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 3: It's like, I think, why you get you know some

381
00:19:57,039 --> 00:19:59,400
of the people and you get I'm just gonna say

382
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,880
it's it's a personality deficit that leads you to adopt

383
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,119
stupid mannerisms and attributes as a way to set yourself

384
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,279
apart from everyone else.

385
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 2: That's really what it is. And I was thinking about this,

386
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,799
All of this stuff was.

387
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:13,839
Speaker 3: Just like floating around in my head as I'm watching

388
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,160
someone light a piece of fish at their table, right,

389
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,880
And I'm thinking, because in Italy it kicked off. They

390
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,000
had this big influencer in Italy who got in trouble

391
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,920
over a Pandora over a cake, a Christmas cake that

392
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,319
was supposed to raise money for some sick kids hospital

393
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:34,240
in Milan. Turns out they donated a couple thousand and

394
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:36,599
they weren't actually going to donate anything else beyond that,

395
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,000
and they got in big trouble because it only didn't

396
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:41,279
like that stuff, and so you know, yeah, they got

397
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:43,799
more laws that I'm comfortable with, but they didn't like it,

398
00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:46,519
and they and it was like the number one influencer

399
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:48,799
over there, I can't say her name, but she's like

400
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:51,480
the number one influencer doing does all these products. Well,

401
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:54,960
now she's taken a major HiT's she already's going through

402
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,319
her Blake Lively era right now, and she's taken a

403
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,000
major hit. And all of the these companies are cans

404
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,960
like PEPSI had I had a whole deal that they

405
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,559
were doing with or they canceled, there was another company

406
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:07,720
all and now all of these corporations are going do

407
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:09,759
we really want to tie the success of our product

408
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,079
or a launch or something like this to an infallible

409
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,400
or to a totally fallible social media personality. They're all

410
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,799
questioning this, and this is having a ripple effect. It's

411
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,480
all going down and now all these influencers are starting

412
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:24,079
to get a little little nervous. That coupled with the

413
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,640
fact that everybody's broke.

414
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: People are broke.

415
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: They cannot sit here and look at what's on your

416
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,640
social media profile that you're trying to influence them to

417
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,519
buy and go out and buy it. This is it's

418
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:40,359
I used to be way much more active on social media,

419
00:21:40,839 --> 00:21:43,720
but all the influencing killed my interest in it.

420
00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 2: I know.

421
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, it just totally I just can't. You can't even

422
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,359
you can't log on, can can you? I don't know

423
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,279
what you follow on Instagram? You can't go on.

424
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: Although most of my stuff is puppies. I busted.

425
00:21:57,559 --> 00:21:59,839
Speaker 1: What was kind of related to your story?

426
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

427
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: Is uh?

428
00:22:01,839 --> 00:22:03,599
Speaker 1: I mean I think people are starting to see it

429
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,119
like that more now.

430
00:22:05,519 --> 00:22:05,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

431
00:22:05,839 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: The way you're describing it before it was like, oh yeah, interesting,

432
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,640
it's a great idea. Look at that getting viral.

433
00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:13,279
Speaker 3: They were putting something up as as like a side

434
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,319
is like a I don't want to say, consequence as

435
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,720
a result of living.

436
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: Right, right, And then they're the people that are unsuspecting.

437
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,680
They're going to be like, well, I want to do

438
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:27,400
that too, right, That's great?

439
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. This one food influencer that Cain shared with me

440
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:32,400
was slammed online. He posted an unhinged video of himself

441
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,359
at Las Vegas All you can Eat lobster a buffet.

442
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:37,039
He's got one point six followers on social one point

443
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:40,119
six million followers on social media. And people were mad.

444
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,319
They said, the glutton need, the narcissism and privilege unfold.

445
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:44,400
I think you do need to be sensitive just because

446
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,960
you want to be a good person when other people

447
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,599
are suffering, because there's a point where people like to

448
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:51,400
live there. Some people will live their lives vicariously through

449
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,039
other individuals. But at some point it becomes like it's

450
00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:56,319
like you're taunting with all the stuff, you know what

451
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,519
I mean, it it really is. It's it seems like that,

452
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:04,039
but social media used to be you were posting stuff

453
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:06,119
that you did as a result of living life, and

454
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,920
I was thinking about it, you know, like these people

455
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,359
that are filming these experiences and doing all this stuff,

456
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,039
are you actually experiencing it or are you actually shortchanging

457
00:23:13,079 --> 00:23:16,079
your audience because you're too busy trying to capture the

458
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,000
moment then live the moment, so you're giving them in

459
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,240
a mnemic view of what the experience is because you're

460
00:23:20,279 --> 00:23:25,200
not actually fully experiencing it yourself. That's why social media

461
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,599
influencing needs to die a horrible death. It needs to

462
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,440
just totally die and go away, and we need to

463
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,759
go back to like, actually, you know, people living their

464
00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:34,200
lives and know oh, here's what I'm doing this or

465
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,519
I had that.

466
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,839
Speaker 2: You know, that's fine, but all this like contrived stuff. Uugh.

467
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:40,440
I hope it spreads. I hope that it only stuff spreads.

468
