Dana Lash’s of Absurd Truth podcast sponsored by KelTec.
3 (37s):
It’s his laugh mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida, man.
4 (46s):
So yesterday we had, it was just like a passing story about a guy named Lieutenant Dan. And Lieutenant Dan was a is what, is he a veteran? I don’t know. ’cause now X is trying to milkshake duck him and I don’t know. He’s a guy who’s got one leg and they call him Lieutenant Dan. And he decided to stay in his 20 foot boat and weather the hurricane. And he survived. And he was trending on social media last night because everybody was wondering, is Lieutenant Dan safe? And so, and it turns out he made it, he did make it. and we got some audio of him because he is the Florida man of Florida man right here.
4 (1m 29s):
He, he survived Milton. This is he, he started don don’t know. He apparently has got an arrest record. Which one are we playing? I don’t even know what to start with. Okay, let’s do, okay, start with the 23. This Lieutenant Dan,
5 (1m 43s):
How’s the ride? The water’s gone. Yeah, it’s, it’s going out into the water. It’s going out. Being pulled out. Yeah.
6 (1m 49s):
See, see right
5 (1m 51s):
There. How are you doing? No problem.
6 (2m 3s):
My head.
5 (2m 6s):
Was it as bad as you thought? Huh? Was it as bad as you thought? No.
6 (2m 10s):
Is the water coming back in or still going
5 (2m 12s):
Out? It’s going out. Alright. Hang
6 (2m 18s):
Away.
5 (2m 18s):
Alright. You hang in there. Alright, you
4 (2m 20s):
Guys see you tomorrow. So I was looking, he apparently, well his record is just like for boat ti tickets and stuff like that. Like some people on social we’re wondering because apparently there’s another guy with his exact same name that they were looking up another guy’s record. But apparently he’s got, I mean, I don’t, he he’s got like don don’t know, like what passed tickets and stuff like that. Drug paraphernalia. And he had a bro, a possession charge in Broward County. Pled no contest. Anyway, the whole point is that this dude stayed on a 20 foot boat in a hurricane, a Cat four, Cal five hurricane. Stayed on the boat and weathered it. Do you think, I mean, I I I would’ve been sick, dude.
4 (3m 1s):
’cause you know, that would’ve been some choppy, choppy water audio done by 24. So he started to GoFundMe a few weeks ago. Well get this, where’s I just saw this, there’s one outlet, it’s called Kick Stream. He’s been offered a a $2 million kick deal and a $100,000 boat. This is Saudi sent by 24.
7 (3m 24s):
First off, this man has a GoFundMe with over $20,000 in it. He’s not homeless, period. He lives on a boat except for the short year that he spent in prison for beating a EMT with a violin.
4 (3m 35s):
Okay? So apparently I don, but wasn
7 (3m 37s):
Different name than the one that,
4 (3m 39s):
So he’s using anyway, he’s gotta GoFundMe, but he was offered a $2 million kick deal and a hundred thousand dollars boat. That is true. ’cause kick stream’s live actually confirmed that on X. But there’s some people that are trying to do an expose on him and they’re trying to, I guess say that he, that some of the crimes from this other guy are his and they’re not. But his is, was, apparently he got in trouble for marijuana before it was legal and it wasn’t a felony charge. So anyway, don don’t know. So it was this lady who did it. First off, don’t be a dumb bitch and start slandering somebody on air. Okay? I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not apologizing for calling her that or saying her that this is my, or saying that she is that because she is, I have a major problem with these people who wanna pretend to be journalists and they get on stupid CCP TikTok and they make these dumb videos and they run their mouths without doing proper research.
4 (4m 24s):
And then they end up slandering and defaming and, and libeling people stop it. Don’t be the Karen that does that. Okay? Don’t be like, I gotta hurry up and make a stupid video for clicks. No one cares. No one will remember your name in 24 hours, but they will remember how you smeared this guy. So stop doing that. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. I hate that. That is like a feature of humanity. Now, thanks to social media, and I’m not apologizing for my language, I would say something way harsher, but I’d be fined. So all he got, he got busted for pot and, but wasn it, he’s not a pedophile, he’s not all this stuff, but all of that was like running rampant because of this one chick on social media.
4 (5m 6s):
This guy just wanted to survive the hurricane in his boat with his one leg. That’s all he wanted to do. How did he not get tossed out that boat? I, my, can we throw up that picture that I put in Slack? Because someone went by on the dock and they were like, Hey Lieutenant Dan. That’s what they call him. And he popped his head out of the canvas. And it’s a meme. This is all gonna be us the day after the election. This is gonna be the image. I have never felt an image so much in my life ’cause it was just the white tarp and then him poking his head out. And I’m like, that is us. That is all of us right now. Juan’s getting ready to show it to you. This is gonna be our image for the, this Is Us the day after election.
4 (5m 47s):
I’m saving it because I’m going to use this gratuitously. Oh. my gosh, is it stopped? Is the election over yet? So Lieutenant Dan did survive and yes, the woman who did that video was a progressive.

4 (8m 3s):
Welcome back to the program, Dana Lash here with you at the bottom of this first hour. We’re gonna get into some of the, some of the polling hold up, but I’ve gotta make fun of something so bad. So Timmy Walz hired a, they hired a gamer Kill me. Now they hired a gamer to play World of Warcraft. So he could just itty Riz right up into the whole, I guess what Zoomer dialect. They hired a gamer to play World Warcraft. And on Twitch they had it on Harris’s Twitch page. It was this guy named Preheat. What do they got? Like 5,000?
4 (8m 43s):
A whole 5,000 views. Riz Riz Wheat. I mean I got a whole 5,000 views. No
8 (8m 52s):
Cap.
4 (8m 53s):
No cap. Oh, alright. Very demure. And I love it. They go, this is Mediaite just trying to blow this up at its height. The live stream received nearly 5,000 views. Kill me. So they said that after it transitioned to just regular World Warcraft game plane dropped about 3,500 viewers. I I’m not gonna be able to get through this, this whole segment without choking to death. So I. You
3 (9m 20s):
Do Fellow
4 (9m 21s):
Kids. Yeah, it’s, it’s that, it’s this meme where it’s, you remember an alien where it’s Sigourney Weaver or if you’re Al Sharp and re Weaver and the aliens right here. Well, somebody replaced it with Muang and just said Skiddy Riz, you know, bop b Ohio. And that’s the one, it’s like a whole meme. Anyway, so Tim Walz, he went live and they’re trying to make a big deal out of it. And this is how they were. This is how Wired, who is wired, which is the leftist sight of fake nerds, wrote this quote, the Harris’s Harris campaign’s goal in combining the ra, the rally with World of Warcraft gameplay is to increase the Harris and Wall’s visibility to young men who make up the majority of Twitch’s user base.
4 (10m 4s):
So that’s so lame. you know that these people, this is the closest to combat he’s ever gotten, by the way, playing World Warcraft. Tim Walz. I mean, he can be like, look, I’m almost there in combat. Whoa. Leroy Jenkins. So the, I guess ga he did, he did he actually don don’t think he actually played it. Did he just sit there while someone else played it? Dear heavens, did he,
3 (10m 30s):
I don’t even know if he was there watching it, to be honest with you.
4 (10m 34s):
They Oh, my gosh, it was the first time that they’re gonna stream live game today and then twitchy counts. And they I did. They did. He actually, he did not actually play. ’cause he doesn’t play. Nobody believes he plays. I mean, look at, I mean, all you gotta look at is jazz hands. He know this dude doesn’t play. He’s, he has no idea what this is. I be, he had no idea. So they, the Harris campaign described Preheat who specializes in World of Warcraft and writes guides for the game as a volunteer for the campaign. I and Trump, they noted has his own Twitch page, but he hasn’t uploaded any videos. And he is never live streamed a video game because he’s an, he’s an older dude who doesn’t, let’s like, not pretend like don’t sit here and be like, go look at me, Warcraft.
4 (11m 19s):
I’m like, you guys, I’m just like, you kids skip Riz. I’m just like, you know, cap. It’s nobody, nobody believes that he does this. Oh God, nobody believes that. He even knows what this is. He’s nobody, nobody buys this. By the way, I have to say that there’s a segment of our audience listening that is like, what is she saying? Yeah. What is she saying? What is the Skippy the segment of she’s speaking in tongues. That
3 (11m 44s):
Segment is me.
4 (11m 49s):
I it’s, well, if you have kids, you know too, right? Yeah. So he hired, so he, they played the game next to the rally. He didn’t play it. They just, that is so on point with this, with this campaign. So wait a minute, we’re not gonna play it. No, we’re not gonna play World of World crowd. Someone’s gonna play it like next to us. I’m not even kidding. That’s
10 (12m 14s):
Literally what he does. Is it worse that they paid this guy or girl to react to his own rally? Just to sit there and stare at it like you need more validation.
4 (12m 22s):
I’m sorry, what?
10 (12m 23s):
But wasn, the community note that he paid, they paid him to react to one of his rallies on Twitch.
4 (12m 28s):
Okay, full stop. They paid this dude to do a reaction video to one of Tim Wal to the Walz rally.
11 (12m 38s):
Why are we putting these people in charge of anybody?
10 (12m 40s):
Oh?
4 (12m 40s):
My gosh, what? Oh wait, did the rally here was that video of the rally where they were in the gym. It was at literally a wall’s rally Oh, my gosh, audio sound by 27. Guy, don’t spit liquids out. Don’t choke on your food. ’cause it’s so cringe you could cringe to death. There is a viewer warning with this video. The likelihood of cringing to death is very real. It is a rally in Tucson. Go. We probably can’t play any music. They’re playing Beyonce love on top and I mean. Wow. I’m just getting, wow. Wow. If you wanted to know if, what would it would look like if he translated a gap sweater set to a gymnasium full of people?
4 (13m 23s):
This is it. I mean, So I don’t know who the guy is dancing. I guess that’s part of his, I guess that’s one of the Walz campaign people. But they’re playing Beyonce’s love on top and then they have all these people in this gym. This is in Tucson. I don’t know who the chick in the pink shirt is. I wanna die to death. and there, look, look, this is, this is like the 2024 campaign version of Top that the horrible cringe rap from that one movie starring Blake Lively’s sister. It was the witch movie. Remember that? Don’t Google it, you’ll die. It’s horrible. That’s one of the worst things that, that’s their, that’s their que So the guy was paid to basically do this kind of reaction to react to that.
4 (14m 9s):
How does one get that job? How does one like guess I would like to react to things. Pay me. I wanna react to Tim Wall’s campaign. Look at all these sad, sad white Marxists. Let’s react to them. So they hired, so they hired this guy just to play the game next to him. And they’ve been trying to reach people. They’ve been advertising during, you know, on IGN, which is a gaming site. They’ve been major gaming events, all this stuff. And they’ve been trying to reach out. Now a couple of things with this, because he doesn’t play, and obviously it’s cringe pandering, but maybe don don’t know, like maybe some in the Republican party should stop this stupid dumb talk against video games and gaming and maybe engage the gaming community.
4 (14m 55s):
Whenever I see someone railing against games, I mean 10 to 10, it’s always either, it’s always someone who’s never played them, they’ve never played them. I’m just not going to take commentary about how games are bad and how we should ignore them from like some, you know, irrelevant, you know, middle aged, you know, a big government, George W. Bush level compassion Republican kind of operative on tv, or somebody with their extensions curled into perfect co corals on Fox or C Nnn or MSNB. I’m not gonna sit here and take these people’s commentary about gaming when they don’t even play.
4 (15m 37s):
They have no idea what the community is. They have no idea what goes into it. They have no idea how social it is, none of it. And they all think that. I mean, it’s like these people would be gun controllers. Honestly, it’s the same logic. So maybe some of the Republican party should stop the stupid talk against video games and maybe engage the community instead. And maybe, maybe someone should have told Walz Hat there was a big hurricane, but wasn hit in Florida last night because that rally was happening yesterday. That what we, what we just showed you. but wasn happening yesterday. Yeah.

4 (16m 59s):
I love this. So Fat Bear Week continues. And now the, they call it the gigantic. It what? It’s a bear named Grazer and it’s a, they call her a gigantic bear named Grazer Fat Bear Week. She won the crown as I guess fattest bear. And this is after months after the runner up killed her cub. Oh, the bear known as Bear 1 28 beat her opponent chunk by more than 40,000 votes that you actually can vote for the bears over@explorer.org and you vote for your favorite fabric. That she is a wow. She is a chunk. How much does she weigh? She’s a, they said 12 bears ultimately made like the, like they were the final of the fattest bears alive.
4 (17m 41s):
But yeah, she was, her cup was killed by a male brown bear the day that the brackets were released and told bad. So she, she has a cub, she has a third litter though. She’s got a one of her cubs from her third litter. but wasn second in the Fat Bear Junior competition. It’s like pageants for bears. I love it. Oh, oh. Hillary Clinton, her second book, hateful Angry book about why she lost, sold fewer copies than her first book. I mean, she barely sold 27,000 copies in her first week. Ooh, wow. A Turkish Airlines pilot. Died. Died while flying the plane. What? From Seattle? What? Landing in New York Emergency landing in New York.
4 (18m 23s):
Early Wednesday. The captain lost consciousness. Mid-flight didn’t make it. Airline spokesman said in a statement. they said that he didn’t respond to medical intervention. It was an Air Force three 50. It was gonna go to from Seattle to Istanbul. and there was a copilot in the cockpit, obviously, but they had to make a four hour flight to, it was over northern Canada and had to turn south, making a four hour flight to JFK so that they could land. And the guy passed a health exam like recently, the last time they did it. So I, I don’t know, attorney’s voice cloned in an a in an AI scam, conned his dad into giving $35,000. Always have a safe word with your family. An attorney issued a warning over an elaborate AI voice cloning scam. It fooled his own dad.
4 (19m 3s):
He handed over $35,000. They were the scammers impersonated Jay Schuster 34 called his 70-year-old dad. Frank said his son was in an accident and needed bail money. And the, the guy was a retired attorney and he was convinced it was his hysterical son. And he’s been traumatized like don don’t know. I just feel like you would know. Yeah. you know what I mean? You would know the, a godfather of AI just won a Nobel Prize and he’s been warning that machines could take over the world. Per Wall Street Journal. Jeffrey Hinton hopes the prize will add credibility to his claims about the dangers of the very AI tech that he pioneered. But now he’s a newly minted Nobel laureate and he’s been saying, yes, we’re at this, we’re at this point in history where we gotta figure out how to deal with the threat because it’s happening.
4 (19m 44s):
It’s here. A Hawaii fest food worker was fatally stabbed during an altercation with a customer. Oh, well, who, why? Ronaldo. Cheney was charged with murder and cont and criminal contempt of court. The 60-year-old man is 60-year-old Kane. Remember what you said? Old people aren’t innocent, stabbed and killed a Wendy’s employee injured another. According to reports Honolulu had responded to their pd, they, he was charged with murder, criminal contempt of court. He apparently got, I guess, got mad over his order and a 44-year-old employee intervened and escorted the guy out. And it just, it kept on going. Good. Heavens, like, you know, it’s a fast food. But stop. We got more on the way. Stick with us. I need someone to explain to me what is happening in this video that Gretchen Whitmer posted.
4 (20m 27s):
It’s Gretchen Whitmer in one of those horrible camo hats, feeding a Dorito to some chick who’s supposed to be don? Don’t know. I hate the term influencer. It’s just digital prostitute. And can I show don’t play the music? ’cause I’m sure it’ll be copy written, but what, what is this? It was, was this on TikTok?
3 (20m 50s):
Yeah, I think it originally was on TikTok, but I think it moved over to Instagram is where I first saw it. And then Of course they’ve, they’ve been reposting it on x because there’s been a massive attempt apparently to shut this video down.
4 (21m 6s):
So there’s this chick who is kneeling in front of Big Gretch and big Gretch in the video. If we have it hands her a Dorito, like it’s a cracker at church. And then she like, looks at, she’s looking at the camera. It’s weird. And what is with this like millennial obsession to sexify everything, stop it. Is that actually a girl I don know, is the video is, is she mocking, like Catholics getting,
3 (21m 46s):
It kind of looks like that,
4 (21m 48s):
Doesn’t it? I don’t understand what the point is. And then she looks at the, I don’t understand. So we were talking about this because So I was, I’m non-denominational. I was raised Southern Baptist non-denominational. So we have to ask our, it’s if a new official title we just bestowed on him, our resident Catholic, Steve So I. Is that I, I just don’t think that that’s how it works in the Catholic church. I mean, I’ve, I’ve been in Catholic churches. I don’t ever see it working like that. Is that, what am I missing? And when Is that what it is? Do you think that’s what it is? Is that how you look at it?
10 (22m 18s):
Don don’t know what I would Is that what they’re, when I would go to the, the priest you like, or the Eucharist, whoever’s giving communion, you, you’re supposed to put your right hand in a cup, like you’re cupping something and then your left hand under it and then you say the body of Christ and then you eat it and cross your, you know, do the cross. But I don’t, I’ve never kneeled down doing it. That seems odd. Unless I’m, unless I don’t know that. What, it’s
4 (22m 39s):
Because some people, I mean it is it that otherwise I don’t know why. Okay. We’re, and also, why would you post this? First off, why would you do it and why would you post it? Right? Yeah. and I don’t, what am I missing? I,
3 (22m 58s):
You’re missing what I’m missing. I have no idea. Maybe Juan could throw it up there again, but it looks like maybe it’s mocking the communion thing, but I don’t really know.
4 (23m 10s):
I guess it is mocking communion.
3 (23m 13s):
I guess
4 (23m 15s):
I don don’t know. I, I don’t understand what the point of it is and why,
3 (23m 22s):
But boy, JD Vance is weird.
4 (23m 24s):
Yeah, JD Vance is so weird. Look at this video. JD Vance is so weird though. Look at that video with the chip. So weird. Weird. So weird. Cults conspiracy is weird. Isn’t that how it goes? Like you’re supposed to. Okay. I, you know. All right, well there, there you have it. So, okay. What’s, I don’t know what the point of that is, but you know, it says this anyway, it says, this
10 (23m 51s):
Girl’s a Canadian podcaster. Liz playing, I’m not gonna give her credit here, but I don’t know why. I don’t know that. I don’t get the connection here. It must be a dance or something. We don’t know about
4 (24m 0s):
Oh. my gosh. She’s a Canadian. Everybody’s a podcaster. Nowadays. You fart in a mic and you upload it to Instagram and you’re a podcaster. You can do that. Yeah, you can do that. That’s what most of it is. Anyway, it’s all my opinions. Well, I just saw, I wrote something on
3 (24m 15s):
TikTok. I looked up videos of like first communions and how communions done, because again, I’m non-denominational Baptist from the Midwest. and I see priests actually placing the wafer in the mouth of the people coming up. So the body of Christ is the wafer, the blood is the one.
4 (24m 32s):
I feel like if that chick showed up to take communion like that, the priest would kick her. Like he’d yea her back.
3 (24m 39s):
This is governor of Michigan.
4 (24m 42s):
It’s big gretch. Yeah. Trans Paul bunion
3 (24m 45s):
Saying absolutely nothing while looking,
4 (24m 48s):
Looking at the camera. All weird. Why do they’ve gotta sexify everything up, by the way. Is that
3 (24m 53s):
What it was? Was that Sexify?
4 (24m 55s):
You’re telling me it’s not. I
3 (24m 57s):
Like her look in the camera. Do you think she thinks that’s sexy?
4 (25m 2s):
Well, it’s big grech. I mean, it’s probably as like femme as we can get it, but as
3 (25m 6s):
Good as it’s gonna get.
4 (25m 7s):
Yeah. I, I don’t know. I just, people are, look you, we live in absurd times. And if this is what I have to comment on, don’t expect it to not be absurd. It’s all I’m gonna say. I can’t watch this video anymore. I’m gonna throw up on everybody and everything. Sorry, Juan. Yes.
