Speaker 1: Dana Lashes of surd Truth podcast sponsored by Keltech. It's
his laugh mission to make bad decisions.
Speaker 2: It's time for Florida man.
Speaker 3: I have to really quickly share with you this one
story Florida woman Amberson and about the worst parking job ever.
In Clearwater, Florida, police charge a driver with the DUI
because he parked his car. I had to make sure
that it wasn't a woman pretending to be a man.
He parked his car off like it was hanging off
a pier. Like literally the front tires were over the
wall and it was hanging off. The driver, thirty year
old Matthew Adams faces a dui. I what was he
following Google Maps?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: What was the problem? He literally parked, that's what he said.
He parked behind Pure House sixty on Coronado Drive. It
was a Lexus RX Lexus RX. I mean, I can't
believe it didn't fall in because the front tires are
both over the concrete wall.
Speaker 2: But okay, that's you know, all right? Uh let's see that.
Speaker 3: Jeez, Fox Fox thirty five Earliando, a Florida man exposes
himself during a road rage incident, screamed and looked away
in fear. Wait who did James? Of course, his name
is James Box fifty six. He was arrested in charge
with exposure of his sexual secks h u L sexual
organs after an incident he was driving on the highway.
People should not be doing more than one thing when driving,
and the one thing they should be doing is driving.
Don't be on your phone, don't be putting makeup on,
don't be exposing your sexual organs. To paint the law
in the highway, they said that there was another driver
in a Kia Optima. I don't know why they felt
like it was important to mention that, but there was
another driver that it was a road rage incident.
Speaker 2: They said that.
Speaker 3: The driver swerved around them, cut them off, and that
was Box, the driver of the key Optima, and then
Box through objects at the other driver's vehicle while screaming,
and then later on in the highway he began to
charge the other driver. I'm trying to figure out how
this happens while you're driving. He pulled his shorts down
and exposed his franken beans. According to the police Affidavid,
this is my favorite part of the story. The victims
advised two victims advice. They screamed and looked away in
fear when the defendant exposed himself. So how are you
driving on the road and you're doing this? The article
is unclear? How does that happen? So they was arrested
leader that afternoon by deputies. He denied being involved. He goes,
they must be confused. He posted one thousand dollars bond
and he's out.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, he don't know exactly. How can
I be honest? He looks like he would do that.
Speaker 3: He's got a neck tat and he's got crazy eyes.
And when a man normally, if a man has crazy ice,
he's just crazy. But the neck tat, that's like having
a tramp stamp and crazy ice, you.
Speaker 2: See what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like it's a variable that escalates the danger up by
a level. Right, So he is like powered up one.
So he's got plus necktat, you know, necktat power.
Speaker 2: All right? Uh? Oh, I got more? I got more.
Speaker 3: If Florida man went to the beach searching for sea
turtle nests, found found Oh, he found almost five million
dollars in cocaine.
Speaker 2: Instead.
Speaker 3: It's a good thing he got it, not those sea
turtles are Hunter Biden. He went, Now, Hunter Biden's going
to be interested in sea turtles. Watch this guy discovered
seventy pounds of cocaine, just like out on the beach.
Speaker 2: He went looking, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Aren't you not supposed to look for sea turtles?
Speaker 2: Nest? So was this guy admitting to like committing a
crime he can't take, but can you look? How do
you find?
Speaker 3: He found cocaine bricks four point eight million. They think
that it washed up on the beach and they was
wrapped in plastic with a picture of an eagle on top.
And they said, well, it's rare here to have this
much cocaine wash up on the beach. To have any
I would think would be rare. Let me share with
you this media story. This is crazy. This is we
talk about media malpractice. By the way, we're gonna have
Carol Roth on tomorrow about all that we talk about
media malpractice. And this is one of the worst I
think I've ever I've seen in recent times. So PBS,
you guys know, let me explain to you for really
quickly before I get into the story. PBS Public Broadcasting
Station is owned by the Corporation for public broadcasting or
is under not owned, it's under it's regulated, it's managed
by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which receives annually half
a billion dollars in taxpayer money. And in fact, you
might remember back several years ago when Trump wanted to
cut money to the Corporation for Public broad Casting CPB.
I always say it out loud so people don't get
it confused with customs and border patrol. So he wanted
to cut the funding like to zero for the Corporation
for Public Broadcasting, and the left lost their mind and
they said it was an attack on free speech. And
even though it's a government funded thing, it's it's propaganda.
Now here's why I give you that structure, because again,
remember they get half a half a billion. It was
something like four hundred and fifty five million dollars that
they got. That was the last appropriation I think there
was from twenty twenty two. So Judy Woodroof, who is
with PBS, which gets its money from the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting, which gets its money from entirely the government.
They always say, oh, no generous donors, No, no, a
fraction of them give more than what they pay in taxes.
Speaker 2: So Judy Woodroof.
Speaker 3: Was speaking on to a live audience, and this was
in Chicago. This was in Chicago on a PBS roundtable,
and they were they had an audience and they were
talking about the ceased fire, any kind of potential negotiation
for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and Woodruff was
saying that she knew that there wasn't going to be
one because this is what she said. She said, quote,
the reporting is that former President Trump is on the
phone with the Prime Minister of Israel urging him not
to cut a deal right now because it's believed that
it would help the Harris campaign.
Speaker 2: End quote. That's what she said, verbatim.
Speaker 3: And then she adds, who knows whether that will come
out or not, but I have to think that the
Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what
presidents do, which is to work on that one. So
and she's she used to be on News Hour and
then she just was slammed for it. So she presents
this as an actual headline. I read you the quote.
I read you the quote. She says, you know, the
reporting is that he's telling Nan Yahoo to not cut
this steal because it would benefit the Harris campaign. So
then she gets a lot of fleck for this right
because people were like, where are you getting this from?
Speaker 2: What do you mean? What reports?
Speaker 3: So she tries to come back on it, and she
writes on X she says, quote, I want to clarify
my remarks on the PBS News special Monday night about
the ongoing ceasefire talks in the Middle East.
Speaker 2: She says, as I said, like this is some sort
of excuse for her.
Speaker 3: Now, remember how I told you how she said the
statement based on reporting. She goes, as, I said, this
is not based on my original reporting I was talking about.
She said, the reports and axios embroiders about Trump having
spoken to the Israeli Prime minister, and in the live
TV moment, I repeated the story, you know, et cetera,
et cetera, And she's like, you know, I made a.
Speaker 2: Mistake and for that I apologize.
Speaker 3: So she just approached She just repeats, like not conjecture.
And by the way, people have been looking for like
the reports that she's talking about. So she repeats this,
and this story went wild like everyone, oh, Trump is
trying to tank the ceasefire discussion. He doesn't he doesn't
want the ceasefire discussion. He's trying to because of the
Harris campaign and they were trying to really make him
look bad. And this is what And then she has
to come out and say, well, this is based on
my original reporting, not that this was. Oh my gosh,
do you not have a responsibility because she calls herself
as she calls herself a journalist, right, does she not
have a responsibility to I don't know, maybe just be
somewhat honest and accurate when you're repeating news. Oh my gosh,
she makes it up entirely what she did, because people
are like, where are these stories that are saying this.
Speaker 2: She's making it up entirely.
Speaker 3: And she says, I'm just reporting this from and I'm
looking actually at I'm looking at her tweet. I'm just
reporting this, you know, from Axios and Reuters in that
except it's not there. Both sides everybody was denying it.
They're like, wait a minute, there's here's the problem. The
original and this is what I have. The original reporting
that they had on it. They were reporting on the ceasefire.
It didn't have anything about Trump calling them. They actually
wrote a second piece about this saying Natanyahu's office denies
a call with Trump about the guy's a hostage ceasefire deal.
They had a whole story denying that that ever happened.
They never claimed that it happened. They just said that
this was like floating around and he denied it and
it never happened. Literally, no one, not Axios and I
didn't even find anything with Reuters, like had a piece
where they were dispelling this worders that you even have one.
Speaker 2: No one, literally nobody had that. Nobody was running that
as a story.
Speaker 3: There was no outlet at all whatsoever that was reporting
that as a fact. Nobody was saying Donald Trump is
calling Benjamin Netanyahu and telling him not to accept the ceasefire.
Not a single one, not a single one. She literally
made it up. She pulled it out of her ass
and ran with it. She made it up entirely, and
she is still on air. Her salary is paid for
by us. She is a Judy Woodroof is a glorified
welfare recipient on the taxpayer teat as part of PBS,
which is under corporation for Public Broadcasting, which receives half
a billion taxpayer dollars every year. Their appropriations make that happen.
And that's the level of reporting that is ONBS. She
made it up. She made it up out of the
ether and ran with it. And then she tries to
blame two other outlets, one of which didn't even write
about it at all, and the other one only wrote
about how, oh there's a rumor going around this never happened,
and she she just made it up. Why are they
getting public funding? Why is a government agency running with
false or dare I say misinformation? This is this not
the same government that wanted to create a disinformations? Are
is this not disinformation? I mean, this is like Dan
rather level of violations in terms of journalistic ethics. Judy Woodruff,
that's insane. She and she's like, oh, I'm sorry, I'd
read it there. She doubled down and that was her response.
So she lied about a story on stage, then she
on Twitter defending herself about it. You do not loathe
the press enough. Our partners over at Celtech, the P

Speaker 1: You, and now all of the news you would probably miss.
It's time for Dana's Quick five.
Speaker 3: This headline brings me so much joy I think my
heart started beating again because I've never so related to
a headline more in my entire life. You know your
girls a cynic, right, Okay, I wake up cinecle. So
this study, the headline is the average person knows if
their day has been ruined by eight thirty six am.
Speaker 2: Like, that's right, you know it?
Speaker 1: Which time zone?
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great question. I think just their time zone.
It says one bad morning can derail everything. They did
this survey and it shows that Americans know if they're
in for a bad day by eight thirty six And
they surveyed two thousand Americans and they found the average
person endorse four bad days a month, So that's forty
eight days or a month and a half of bad
days annually. And then over twenty six percent of respond
and said that when something goes away in the morning,
the day seems totally lost, Like if they wake up
feeling sick, or if they didn't sleep well, if they
lost their keys, or if they wake up with a headache,
or or women, if they mess up their makeup or
their hair's bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, they just know it. You know, it's not
going to be their day. I thought that was hysterical.
Speaker 3: Parents are baffled by high school principal Robert Nunez giving
a mascot lap dance as the oh boy, this is
over in the sun. Parents are this isn't Atwater, California,
Bohawk Colony High School in Central Valley, they held it
back to school pep rally and apparently parents are furious
because their principal gave and received a lap dance from
the school mascot and there were actual students there going,
am I a square that's getting old?
Speaker 2: Or was this weird?
Speaker 3: Like students were They were actually like putting that out
on TikTok, and so the parents are very upset. They're like, uh,
why is this happening? Like apparently like the mascot was
tworking on him and all this stuff that Like you're
at a high school, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?
Speaker 3: If you can't differentiate, you know, the club from the
high school, then maybe you shouldn't be an education. So
coming up, I have to tell you last night we
were at dinner, went to go just went to like
a a sushi place and they cut up like a
big tune. I can't remember how many pounds. It was.
They cut up this big tune of their and you
can you can purchase some meat off it. I didn't
eat off that, but you can buy some meat off it.
And I've never I've seen influencers before, but I've never
seen like a whole influencer op in the.
Speaker 2: Wild like I did.
Speaker 3: And I watched this, like this table of chicks, and
I thought they were really I mean, they were dressed
very very.
Speaker 2: Nice, overdressed maybe for the restaurant.
Speaker 3: Probably, but they were going up to the fish and
taking pictures with it, you know, trout pout ironically and
you know, peace sign and taking pictures with it and
all that stuff. And I thought it was interesting that
there was another girl that was with them that held
up a giant light. One of them had like a
Nicon camera with a giant light on it, and they
all had like ring lights and all this other stuff.
Speaker 2: They were sitting at their table.
Speaker 3: And the reason why I noticed it is because I
saw it at the corner of my eye, just like
the a ball of sun. And I look over and
there was there was an entire table. I took a
quick picture of it was I put it up on
my Instagram stories. There was an entire table of inflat
They all had their own lights, and I don't know
how long their food sat there. Like I'm just like,
if you're getting you know, fresh fish, you're getting sushi,
you kind of want to.
Speaker 2: Eat it kind of quick.
Speaker 3: You don't want it to sit there, you know what
I'm saying. And it was like fifteen minutes that they
took were taking pictures of stuff. Can They could not
have been over twenty five And I'm looking at them
doing this. They all had their and it got to
the point they had a tripod. It got to the
point that it was like if you were sitting by them,
that would have been distracting.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's you know, in the late in the evening, you
got certain lighting in the restaurant. You know, if you're
trying to take advantage of that, you don't want to
be sitting next to a table where they have every
god forsaken.
Speaker 2: Light on their food. And they're all like, eh, you
know doing that.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, can you just take just a regular
phone picture of your food like a normal person? And
you know, I'm like, I don't even think that, you know,
I think that's over lit and you guys are not
lighting experts, and this is just overkill.
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
Speaker 3: And there was a table people next to them that
I could tell they were annoyed because they kept getting
up and doing and like they were taking turns getting
into the photo, and that means they kept having to
get up and kept having to bump the chair of
the next person by them, and they had all the
lights there, and I knew that that other table was
getting aggravated. I've never seen a whole op like that
in the WHILD before, though.
Speaker 2: It was a big.
Speaker 3: Thing, and I just I'm looking at I'm like you,
I'm like together, they probably have thirteen thousand followers and
they're doing all of this stuff. And the other table
they I could totally tell it looked like a double date.
I could totally tell they were getting aggravated. I could
tell so because the one woman she had her purse
on part of her chair and it dropped when she
got bumped, and she was, oh my gosh, it was
a big ordeal.
Speaker 2: Anyway, but I was reading this, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was reading this piece about the social media consumption
and about influencers, and there's this belief that it's dying
as it relates to dictating retail and a lot of
consumer practices because people are getting turned off by the
influencer stuff. They're getting turned off on it partly. And
what's funny is is because of the horrible economy that
all these leftist governments have created, because people are broken,
the last thing that they want to see are influencers
taking pictures of all their bougie stuff and then trying
to get you to buy online. You know, that's like,
that's like part of the problem, which I this is
one of the reasons why I think it's so hysterical
that Harry Walls they are trying to hire influencers to
sell their policies, and their policies are bougie things that
people can't afford, you know. I mean, you're sitting here
talking about increasing the cost of food and having and
introducing scarcity through Venezuelan price controls. That's crazy. Having a
belief set like that is a luxury that people cannot afford,
and the left thinks that it makes you look edgy.
And the left loves doing things that try to make
them look edgy with when they have personality deficits, they
try to offset it in other stupid ways, like I'm
a Marxist.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: It's like how the fat ugly gothchicks, not all of
them are are fat and ugly, but they decide to
be like edgy because they.
Speaker 2: Can't be like the Barbie types. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's like, I think, why you get you know some
of the people and you get I'm just gonna say
it's it's a personality deficit that leads you to adopt
stupid mannerisms and attributes as a way to set yourself
apart from everyone else.
Speaker 2: That's really what it is. And I was thinking about this,
All of this stuff was.
Speaker 3: Just like floating around in my head as I'm watching
someone light a piece of fish at their table, right,
And I'm thinking, because in Italy it kicked off. They
had this big influencer in Italy who got in trouble
over a Pandora over a cake, a Christmas cake that
was supposed to raise money for some sick kids hospital
in Milan. Turns out they donated a couple thousand and
they weren't actually going to donate anything else beyond that,
and they got in big trouble because it only didn't
like that stuff, and so you know, yeah, they got
more laws that I'm comfortable with, but they didn't like it,
and they and it was like the number one influencer
over there, I can't say her name, but she's like
the number one influencer doing does all these products. Well,
now she's taken a major HiT's she already's going through
her Blake Lively era right now, and she's taken a
major hit. And all of the these companies are cans
like PEPSI had I had a whole deal that they
were doing with or they canceled, there was another company
all and now all of these corporations are going do
we really want to tie the success of our product
or a launch or something like this to an infallible
or to a totally fallible social media personality. They're all
questioning this, and this is having a ripple effect. It's
all going down and now all these influencers are starting
to get a little little nervous. That coupled with the
fact that everybody's broke.
Speaker 2: People are broke.
Speaker 3: They cannot sit here and look at what's on your
social media profile that you're trying to influence them to
buy and go out and buy it. This is it's
I used to be way much more active on social media,
but all the influencing killed my interest in it.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, it just totally I just can't. You can't even
you can't log on, can can you? I don't know
what you follow on Instagram? You can't go on.
Speaker 2: Although most of my stuff is puppies. I busted.
Speaker 1: What was kind of related to your story?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is uh?
Speaker 1: I mean I think people are starting to see it
like that more now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The way you're describing it before it was like, oh yeah, interesting,
it's a great idea. Look at that getting viral.
Speaker 3: They were putting something up as as like a side
is like a I don't want to say, consequence as
a result of living.
Speaker 1: Right, right, And then they're the people that are unsuspecting.
They're going to be like, well, I want to do
that too, right, That's great?
Speaker 3: Yeah. This one food influencer that Cain shared with me
was slammed online. He posted an unhinged video of himself
at Las Vegas All you can Eat lobster a buffet.
He's got one point six followers on social one point
six million followers on social media. And people were mad.
They said, the glutton need, the narcissism and privilege unfold.
I think you do need to be sensitive just because
you want to be a good person when other people
are suffering, because there's a point where people like to
live there. Some people will live their lives vicariously through
other individuals. But at some point it becomes like it's
like you're taunting with all the stuff, you know what
I mean, it it really is. It's it seems like that,
but social media used to be you were posting stuff
that you did as a result of living life, and
I was thinking about it, you know, like these people
that are filming these experiences and doing all this stuff,
are you actually experiencing it or are you actually shortchanging
your audience because you're too busy trying to capture the
moment then live the moment, so you're giving them in
a mnemic view of what the experience is because you're
not actually fully experiencing it yourself. That's why social media
influencing needs to die a horrible death. It needs to
just totally die and go away, and we need to
go back to like, actually, you know, people living their
lives and know oh, here's what I'm doing this or
I had that.
Speaker 2: You know, that's fine, but all this like contrived stuff. Uugh.
I hope it spreads. I hope that it only stuff spreads.
