It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right. So first up, a Florida man set his truck on fire to draw attention to other criminal matters, said a detective. Volusia County man’s facing arson charges after deputies say that he set his truck on fire to draw attention to something else in the neighborhood via per the arrest affidavit. Forty three year old Michael Hudson used a torch lighter to set fire to a clothing basket in his truck. And he said at first that his truck was stolen and then he admitted to starting the fire. And then he said that he started the fire to draw attention to some other criminality that he didn’t actually specify. Hmm. Yeah, okay. So it sounds like he just was, it sounds like he was trying to scam insurance and it didn’t work out for him. Oh, I don’t want this one. I don’t want this one, Kane. This is a naked Florida man that ran into traffic and he got hit by a car and it’s all on video, of course. Oh my gosh. I don’t even want to think about the road rash. So he, not a stitch of clothing on him, ran out in the middle of the street, gets hit By a car as he ran through a busy intersection. Like, what did you think was going to happen? Oh, man. And then he he popped right back up and he tried to keep running. He was apprehended and placed under Florida’s Baker Act so they could evaluate him. Apparently, he was super high as a kite.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, no way.
SPEAKER 04 :
And he kept running out into traffic. Obviously, very dangerous. The driver of the car actually went to the police station because he hit him. But then the guy popped up and ran away. The driver was trying to do the right thing. And the driver of the car went to the police station to report it. And so that’s how they were able. And it was pretty easy to find him because he was a crazy looking naked guy running into traffic everywhere. So it was very easy to find out who he was and to take him into custody. So, yeah, that’s didn’t go that well for him. And deputies busted three people who are accused of giving kids counterfeit money to spend at Florida businesses. In Polk County, a kid, bless its little heart, three little kids had fake cash. They were buying stuff at businesses. And a child told the investigators that these adults gave them $20 bills and told them to go buy stuff at the store and bring them back the change. So the two suspects were charged with the scheme to defraud, petty theft, uttering forged bills, conspiracy to commit fraud, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and then also a number of other charges. So these I feel bad for these kids. That’s so ignorant. But they said that the kids because the kids were asked, well, where did you get the money? And they said, oh, well, we got them from one of the women’s names is Beyonce Stanton. Of course it is. So she looks like a Rugrats character. But yeah, they said that the other the adults were inside the vehicle and they’d send the kids in to go and make these purchases. They had 500 or sorry, $400 in currency, 500 total. And they even use it at a Taco Bell, a couple of different stores, Dollar General. And yeah, that’s so sad. I wonder, it doesn’t say, because apparently they got a toy, and it doesn’t say whether or not they had to give those back. It doesn’t say, but can you imagine? I know, I bet they… I kind of think that they probably did too. We’ve got more on the way as we roll towards the third hour of the program. Stay with us.

SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It’s actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and badder and our army grows.
SPEAKER 11 :
So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan & Morgan?
SPEAKER 03 :

SPEAKER 04 :
This is kind of an older video, but it’s been making the rounds. And it’s… Star Wars actor John Boyega. I know he’s been what was the other movie that he was in? It was right around the time that he did the Star Wars. It was the one where they were fighting kaijus and he was in the big robot and all that. I don’t remember that. And I don’t don’t you don’t need to tell me. But anyway, he’s been in a few films. He was in the, you know, obviously remember the Disney one with that date. What is her name? Daisy Ridley or whatever her name is. He was in with her. And yeah, The Force Awakens. He was pretty good in that, although I thought it got dirty and the whole film just blew. It blew. It was really bad. I mean, all of it’s been bad and horrific for a long time. I don’t watch any of it anymore. But what gets me about this, and I wanted to play this real quick because I feel like he’s complaining so much that he’s ruining himself. And then he decides to kind of go after fans of the franchise. And like I said, I know this was a little older, but it’s just now like really making the rounds. There’s a perspective on this that I think some people lose. Go ahead and play part of this. I hear what he says here.
SPEAKER 01 :
Let me tell you, Star Wars always had the vibe of being in the most whitest elite space. Like, this franchise is so white that it’s like a black person existing in that was something. And you can always tell it’s something when some Star Wars fans try to say, well, you know, we had Lando Calrissian and had Samuel L. Jackson. It’s like telling me how many cookie chips are on the cookie dough. I’m like, bruv, they just scattered that in there, bro. They’re OK with us playing the best friend. But once we touch their heroes, once we leave, once we we trailblaze is like, oh, my God, it’s just a bit too much.
SPEAKER 04 :
So he’s like going after the fandom. This is what makes me mad. First off, I think this is just stupid for him to do. Number one. Number two, when that movie came out. So China’s notoriously racist. I know you guys remember some of these stories during COVID when there was a lot of racial animus during COVID over there with anyone who was black and in China. But they’re notoriously racist. And in order to have access to China’s theaters, they had to make certain compromises, right? they had to make certain compromises. I’m looking to see, because I was trying to remember how many theater screens China has. I know they have a ton. Over 90,000 cinema screens. So that’s a lot. That’s a chunk of money that these Hollywood studios want to be able to access. So they have over 90,000, almost 91,000 cinema screens. And the government has a target of having 100,000 cinema screens. Now, in order to get a cinematic release in China, it has to actually go through the CCP. The CCP has to evaluate it. There has to be something. It cannot speak negatively of China. You can’t have discussions on Taiwan, nothing like that. There’s been two instances where this has really come to light. When the last Top Gun that was made, when that was being made, remember the hubbub over a Taiwanese flag patch on Maverick’s jacket? And Tencent, which is a Chinese entity, they bought Blizzard. They’re involved in COD now. They’re really heavily invested into gaming now, along with making a lot of films in Hollywood. When Tencent, they were a huge production partner for Top Gun, and they wanted that flag removed off the jacket. So they digitally removed it from the jacket, and then some of those stills got out, and then people started calling it out, and there was a ton of pushback. So then they decided to include… the flag patch back on the jacket and China got mad and they pulled funding and it was a disaster and they were telling… They told them they were going to allow them to have a cinematic release, a theatrical release in China, etc. When Quentin Tarantino did Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, there was a scene when Brad Pitt was fighting… Oh my gosh, I can’t think of his name now. Bruce. Kane. What? Are you listening? Who is… Karate, Bruce Lee. Thank you. Never mind. I’ll answer myself. Go back to scrolling, doom scrolling. So the when Quentin Tarantino had that scene where Brad Pitt was fighting Bruce Lee, China was mad about that because Bruce Lee was Chinese and they thought that it was making one of their. cultural icons look weak and they demanded the scene either be altered and reshot or cut entirely. And Tarantino told them to pound sand. So as a result, they did not allow them to have a cinematic release in China. So they’re very strict about this stuff, which brings me to the Star Wars story. So Star Wars, when they came out with this film and they had all their marketing and John Boyega was on it, China demanded that John Boyega be removed from all of the marketing. Juan has a side-by-side. This is just one of a ton of examples. This is one of the main posters. They literally took him out of all the marketing because China objected to a black actor being in the marketing materials. They did not want to acknowledge that a black actor was in this film. And as part of the agreement to have access to those 90,000 cinema screens in China, Disney had to remove him from everything. And Disney did. They acquiesced and they took him off of all of the promo materials in China. He didn’t do any of the promo for it there. None of it. They acted like he just wasn’t even in existence. Do you know who defended John Boyega when this happened? The fandom defended John Boyega when that happened. The fandom was livid and they raised absolute hell. I wrote about it when it happened. I remember that. People were apoplectic over this. So to attack the fans and act like they weren’t the ones who were defending him, his studio didn’t even stand by him, but the fandom did. But then to act as though they have a problem with a black character, a fandom that was raised on Lando Calrissian. Really? I was at a Comic-Con once and I walked in and there was a line that was like a mile long. And I’m like, what is this? Who’s that? Thinking it’s a, I’m not kidding you. And I don’t mean to say this to be diminishing, but it was Billy Dee Williams’s son, not even Billy Dee Williams, his son. The son of the actor who played Lando Calrissian had one of the longest lines at the Comic-Con in Dallas several years ago when I was there. Hands to sky. And I looked at my husband and I’m like, that’s not even Billy Dee Williams. It’s his son. That’s how popular of a character Lando Calrissian was. He was an OG member of the Star Wars universe. And there are others, but that’s the one I just happened to see at Comic-Con. And he had one of the longest lines of anybody there. I could not believe it. His son. But that just goes to show you the loyalty of the fandom. So John Boyega turning on them like this not only is incredibly disrespectful, but it’s a betrayal of the very fandom that defended him when Disney dropped him. When Disney refused to even acknowledge his existence in the film so they could get access to those 90,000 Chinese theater screens. When they removed him from all the marketing materials. When they cut him out of all the press runs and the media avails. The fandom stood by him. So it’s stupid for him to sit here and bitch and act like the fandom has the problem. Disney had the problem. The fandom defended him. He needs to check himself and remember that. And he needs to stop bitching all the time. Oh, my gosh. At some point, you do need to ask yourself, is it because of race or you’re just a bad actor? Because it’s not an issue of race. You know, we have, I mean, golly, if we’re going to sit here and run down the actors list, I mean, this is insane. But I just thought that was really incredibly disrespectful because those fans were the only ones defending him. Disney was silent. They didn’t want to rock the boat. They didn’t want to upset China. Not at all. They were trying to do everything in their power. And the fandom called them out. That’s incredibly important to remember. Folks over at Caltech, they have a new program out called the Peacekeeper Program with Caltech. And what the Peacekeeper Program is, it’s about security, it’s about protection, things of that nature, with either churches or schools, you know, things like that. The Peacekeeper participants, the program, you know, if you’re involved in church security teams, you know, SROs, usually everybody has, you know, small concealable pistols. What the Peacekeeper Program aims to do is make available folding rifles, so rifles that can fold up for discrete carry but yet can deploy in seconds with full rifle capability. And it’s an active program already. A number of churches and some schools have already used it. And Caltech has been working with the Faith-Based Security Network on it, and they get access to peer training and security insights and also Peacekeepers pricing for budget-conscious organizations.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick 5.
SPEAKER 04 :
So a NATO chief is saying, oh, we must prepare for the scale of war that our grandparents endured. Wait, what? You want us to prove that we’re not the greatest generation, but you want us to fight like we are? What? NATO? Stop it, NATO. NATO wants some of these EU countries definitely want to get us into a war. It’s ridiculous. Oscar Mayer is opening applications to drive the Wienermobile. What do you mean? They do this every year.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, because they ramp up the spring and summer when they take the Wienermobile out everywhere.
SPEAKER 04 :
I wonder how difficult that is to drive.
SPEAKER 10 :
There’s several of them out there. Like, what’s all in there? What?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, what’s all in the Wienermobile? I mean, it’s a big vehicle.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, it’s just a big wiener-shaped vehicle.
SPEAKER 04 :
I mean, I’m just curious. I mean, I’m looking at pictures of it. How many people does it seat? Oh, it seats a lot. Oh, oh, travel and leisure has a whole thing. 27-foot-long wienermobile. You can drive it. I just have a feeling it probably doesn’t drive very well. And the headlights are tiny. Do you drive it at night? Like, where do they store it?
SPEAKER 10 :
I’ve never seen it driven at night, so I don’t think so.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s like a bus. It’s like a minibus.
SPEAKER 10 :
They are large.
SPEAKER 04 :
They’re enormous.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’ve seen one in person. Have you seen one up close and in person?
SPEAKER 04 :
I’ve never seen one in person in my life.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, no, they’re pretty big.
SPEAKER 04 :
The original one looks ridiculous. This one looks like a space one. I keep seeing these photos and I just… I’m not going to be able to finish the show today because this is ridiculous. I’m just going to make fun of this for the rest… Anyway, you can fit like a million people in this thing. And it has like a little mustard and ketchup carpet on the inside. I mean, I hate the color combo, but it’s a hot dog. What are you going to do? Also, we got… Anyway, the whole point of me bringing that up is you don’t want Waymo. Can you imagine a Waymo Wienermobile?
SPEAKER 01 :
No, no one can.
SPEAKER 04 :
No one can. Sneaky dogs let a horse and steer run amok in an Australian lawmaker’s living room. The pet cam. He checked in on his dogs only to find that they let in a horse and a steer in his actual living room. A steer named Sue gingerly wandered into the home, followed by Cricket, the pet horse. And then they hung out inside because they had air conditioning. And the dogs were nuzzling them and inviting them inside on the pet camp. But it doesn’t say what kind of dogs they are. That’s probably a golden retriever. I was told golden retrievers.
SPEAKER 10 :
It kind of looked like a greyhound, that one dog.
SPEAKER 04 :
Really? Yeah. I was told golden retrievers, if somebody tries to break in your house, they will excitedly show the burglar where the vault is.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 04 :
And help them love their backs.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yep, that is true.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard. Because they’re so friendly. Google is going to deploy a second AI in Chrome to make sure the first AI doesn’t sell you out. to criminals well that sounds real encouraging google announced that they’re going to add a second artificial intelligence system to their browser that’s tasked with preventing the first one from doing what everybody said that it would do when google added it three months ago which was to give all your stuff to criminals we need the three branches of ai i mean everybody in check Yeah, who’s going to keep this AI in check? And then you’re going to need an AI overlord to keep that one in check. I don’t know. A shoe with a foot in it washed up on a beach. I don’t know what beach this is. This is in K-I-R-O, Washington. Sequim, Washington. A white sneaker with a foot in it washed up on the shores. of the beach somebody’s missing a foot and a shoe the uh police responded it had a presence of bones and human tissue inside the shoe it was a puma and it had sharpie markings on the exterior they are trying to figure out what what that is they said no other additional suspicious items were in the area like another foot that nobody’s reporting that they’re missing a foot Yeah, how do you just miss a foot and foot? How do you miss one? I don’t know. We’ve got more on the way. Stick with us. Welcome back to the program. A couple of odds and ends. You know there’s a new monkey pox strain that they found, Kane?
SPEAKER 10 :
Of course. Of course.
SPEAKER 04 :
Monkey pox. Remember how that spreads?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I do remember reading up about that.
SPEAKER 04 :
Do you now? So the monkey pox, it spreads by whorish gay whores. I mean, I don’t know how else to put it. That’s…
SPEAKER 10 :
Accurate.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s accurate.
SPEAKER 10 :
Scientific.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s scientific. It’s like spreading through England. So there’s a Christmas, a little happy little Christmas story for you. People are like, what in the world? Oh, my gosh. So we’re a couple things, I guess. The first Supergirl trailer, more horrible programming. So they’re ruining Star Trek, making it Glee in space. So they’re ruining Star Trek. They are… What’s the other one that we talked about just the other day? Star Trek, the… I can’t even remember because I have no interest. I don’t watch Netflix except for the Great British Baking Show. That’s literally the only thing that I watch on Netflix.
SPEAKER 10 :
Anybody who’s been paying attention to their list whenever they open up Netflix can see that there’s a lot of LGBTQ programming push. There’s a lot of social and medical narrative things pushed. It’s been going on for not just recently, but I would say at least a handful of years. It’s been trending that way.
SPEAKER 04 :
So now we have Supergirl. I don’t like Marvel. Or not Marvel, DC. I’m not a DC fan. I always thought Batman was whiny. I said it. I said it. I said the unpopular thing. He was whiny.
SPEAKER 10 :
What did he whine about?
SPEAKER 04 :
And I hated everyone except for Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer. They were all horrible. Except for those two. That’s it. Christian Bale was okay. But he was so emo in it. But whiny. It’s like, okay, Joker kills your dad. All right, move on. You know, I don’t know.
SPEAKER 10 :
I just… That’s quite a reduction.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s just not a reduction. It’s just an honest reaction. I mean, I grew up my whole life. Batman’s whining. I, you know, come on, you’re rich. You got a mansion. You got Alfred. You know, you got no shortage of women that would stay with you for the rest of their lives. What’s there to complain about? Get over it. Right. It could be a lot worse. You have a Batmobile for crying out loud. You dress up like a synthetic furry. Stop. So I never got into it. And Superman, I like Superman, you know. I like how Superman tries to pretend to be weak like all the other people. That’s his disguise. So this new Supergirl trailer, though, is about, here’s the headline from Not The Bee. It’s an apathetic drunk girl boss whose dog urinates on a picture of Superman. There’s one phrase that I hate more. Actually, nothing. No, girl boss is the thing I hate the most. That actually sounds like a final boss and like a first person, like a, you know, cod map or something like that. You got to go up against the girl boss and all she does is throw like explosive Tampax at you or something. You have to fight the girl boss. It’s meh. I’m not. And it’s truth, justice, like what have. So I don’t know the it’s I did. They really need to do one. Did they need to do another? No. Didn’t they just do, like, a whole other, like, Supergirl thing? Didn’t we talk about this, like, five years ago, I thought?
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, I’m sure they did. Like I said, this has been going on for years. I’m sure they’ve redone it in some way.
SPEAKER 04 :
She’s Superman’s cousin. No, no, no, Supergirl. I’ve never liked the character. I never liked it. It’s okay if women don’t have a female version of a male superhero to represent them. If you can’t recognize goodness in someone who is the opposite sex because they’re the opposite sex, that’s you being an emotional illiterate. That’s not the fault of the creation of the character. I’m not watching this. You know why? Because I’d rather have bleach poured in my eyeballs than watch this. I’m not interested in any of this. What is the new Flash? I don’t even look at any of this. This all looks awful. Is part of it because it’s just everything is so oversaturated? the superhero genre just got wickedly oversaturated. Maybe that’s, and we’re all reacting resentfully to that. Is that maybe some of it? Or is it because Netflix just sucks out loud?
SPEAKER 10 :
Your comparison to what we’re seeing today with superhero remakes is nothing like what we had originally. It’s a carbon copy of a carbon copy that got ate by the dog. None of this resembles anything entertaining. They inject everything they can narrative-wise, society-wise. It’s sick.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, I’m not going to be watching it. And there was the other one that, oh, my gosh, all the bad stuff is on Netflix. Like I have another story about some kid show where they’re promoting transing and all this stuff and on Netflix. Why are they just so they got the baking show? I’ll give him that. Even the what was it, the Ken Burns American Revolution documentary. As soon as I saw Ken Burns did it, I was like, oh, back in the day, he did one on the Civil War. It was actually all right. He pioneered the Burns effect, which is basically just rolling a camera over a still photograph. Let’s not be. It’s not super complicated. But he did American Revolution. And now, because everybody’s so tribal, his brain has just been reduced to cheese. And he tried to retcon the story of America in the American Revolution, which is unfortunate because now I was, you know, I love watching stuff like that. Now I have no interest in watching it. It got bad reviews even from mostly apolitical people who just like history. Even they were saying, wow, it seems like some of this is really being contrived to, you know, not really so much explore America’s founding, but to try to condemn America. So I’m just, yeah, I’m not going to, I’m just, you know what I’m going to do? I’m just going to stay on Amazon. I like this stuff on Amazon. They got Clarkson’s Farm. You know, they got Older Grand Tour. Not the ones where they hired people and it sucked, but the older ones with Clarkson and Richard Hammond. The older ones are okay.

Bad breath is a confidence killer. You could have the best outfit, the funniest jokes, but if your breath smells like the food you just ate, that’s all people remember. Most gums and mints just cover it up. It’s like spring perfume on dirty laundry. Zellman’s Minty Mouth is different. It’s the functional breath freshener that you swallow. Clinically tested to fight the toughest offenders, even garlic and onions. Zellman’s is now available at your local Big Y or online at zellmans.com. That’s Z-E-L-M-I-N-S dot com.
