Superman is gay now and why that's good. Demi Lovato takes her muppetry into the stratosphere.
00:00:05.220
Lizzo is brave, that is for sure. Southwest Airlines has some chaos and the fate of Jerry's
00:00:10.860
Nuts is finally revealed along with much, much more. Pluckus Talks the Podcast, episode 004,
00:00:19.000
featuring Richard Rappaway. I'm a libertarian communist. I don't believe in authoritarianism.
00:00:25.120
I don't know. I'm a full-born letting communist. He killed a lot of people though. A lot of people
00:00:32.520
died from it. Okay, how many people died from capitalism? How many? Exactly. This is Pluckus
00:00:39.940
Talks the Podcast, audio only. What happened to 104? Yeah, so I was thinking about it and it turns out
00:00:51.160
that labeling the podcast in college class format, 101 being the first one, now we're up to 104,
00:00:59.520
was actually a bad idea because I'm realizing when people get to the podcast page for the first time,
00:01:05.120
they're going to be like, oh, this probably isn't that funny because they've had 100 episodes and
00:01:09.080
I never heard of it. True. So I made a mistake. Fleckus' first backtrack on the podcast. But look
00:01:14.380
what we did. We corrected and now we're back on the right track. All right, 004. A lesser man.
00:01:19.680
Why do you need the zeros then? Well, because there's going to be three digits eventually.
00:01:23.520
Okay. So it's teasing what's coming. So moving on, let's get right into it. Superman is gay now.
00:01:29.120
Richard Ratboy, can you read the highlights from the Guardian article?
00:01:31.700
Yes. DC Comics reveals latest Superman as woke bisexual. First bullet point, the Man of Steel will
00:01:38.100
be in a same-sex relationship while combating the climate crisis and protesting the deportation of
00:01:43.960
refugees. Protesting the deportation of refugees. It's like, don't fix the country they come from
00:01:49.160
or solve the corruption. Can't Superman create manufacturing jobs back in Ecuador?
00:01:53.740
Yeah. No, he can't. He's going to protest Trump, it sounds like. All right, what else does it say?
00:01:59.140
It doesn't stop there. In August, it was announced that the latest version of Robin would have a
00:02:03.400
boyfriend. I could have guessed that. Robin would be, if you're going to do one, it's like one in what,
00:02:08.740
10 people is gay? Not even? That's like a fake stat. One in 100 people? I don't know.
00:02:13.340
So it's like maybe one of these characters. So it's like, all right, give them Robin. But did
00:02:18.260
they just take that? Did they stop there? No. They're going for Superman now. And then what's
00:02:22.180
next? In March, Marvel decided to pass the mantle of Captain America to a gay character.
00:02:27.700
Okay. So it's not about having the right proportions and a couple of gay people here and
00:02:32.980
there. They made everybody gay. Yeah. And then this last point says, the idea of replacing Clark Kent
00:02:38.520
with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity, the series writer said.
00:02:44.440
Yeah. Well, I think some people think this is a problem because like the kids are going
00:02:49.920
to get influenced and be like, oh, all this gay stuff must be great. But I don't think
00:02:54.440
kids even read comic books anymore, which is great. So now it's going to be like these
00:02:57.900
Harry Potter people who are just going to be pissed that Robin's gay now and people that
00:03:01.960
like play Dungeons and Dragons. So if they can get red pilled through this process, hey,
00:03:06.980
Yeah. The guys who have their entire room, like, you know, figurines and stupid shit.
00:03:12.120
And now, hey, guess what? All your friends, all the guys you liked, they're gay now.
00:03:16.940
They kind of got this consent already. They kind of got like the whole love is love thing
00:03:20.960
and not judging people and the LGBTQ acceptance. I'm sure the comic community wasn't against
00:03:27.360
that. And now it didn't stop there. It's not love is love. Let us do what we want. It's
00:03:31.540
Superman is gay now. And that's great, right? You're into that storyline. You're into that
00:03:36.280
love interest. You're, you're supporting him and watching him make out with the dude.
00:03:39.640
Louie Lane, Louie Lane, Louie Lane. He's got a mustache.
00:03:43.020
Exactly. So now Superman's making out with dudes and you have to go, yeah, this is, uh,
00:03:49.300
Yeah. And that's the same thing. Like you said, the 1% to 5% or to 10%, whatever the
00:03:54.720
population is gay. It's like, isn't the point of superheroes to be like relatable and like
00:03:59.220
you look up to them and stuff. And now it's just like, well, he's also gay. So, uh, good
00:04:04.160
luck sorting that one out. Little coming of age, Timmy.
00:04:07.000
They did this to James Bond too. I watched the James Bond commercial or the trailer over
00:04:11.760
the weekend. And like one of the most iconic moments from the trailer is James Bond on the
00:04:15.960
back of a Vespa that some black woman is driving. And it's like, James Bond's come a long way.
00:04:20.740
And now it's time for him to take a backseat to people of color so they can go jump off of a
00:04:25.280
building and catch onto a helicopter and wrestle the guy and land the plane. It's like, we suspend
00:04:30.240
disbelief enough for James Bond and Steven Seagal and Tom Brady, all these guys.
00:04:36.260
Just throwing him in there. He does what's impossible. But it's like, James Bond, we pretend, and Steven
00:04:41.880
Seagal, we pretend that you can do all these crazy things. And you're just some superhero
00:04:45.800
type dude and you're so good and you're assassin. And it's like, now you make James Bond a woman
00:04:51.380
or whatever it is. And it's like, there's a reason we don't have women, James Bond. And
00:04:56.740
it's like, there's a reason if you make a woman, James Bond type movie, that's not James
00:05:00.760
Bond with a woman lead. Who's the superhero type that people aren't going to like it or
00:05:06.000
gravitate towards it. Cause we already suspend disbelief enough for James Bond. Now a girl is
00:05:11.200
going to jump off the building and catch onto the helicopter and do a pull up. And she's
00:05:14.360
like 115 pounds. Yeah. So it's like, instead of making their own and failing, they'd rather
00:05:19.260
just piggyback off of James Bond, ruin James Bond. And instead of saying, Oh, James Bond
00:05:23.780
got ruined. Cause girls can't do what James Bond does. They say James Bond got ruined
00:05:27.600
because people are hateful, misogynistic, misogynistic. And they're against seeing women
00:05:32.120
leads because they, they must hate women. Nah, dude. And it's just a broader part of this
00:05:37.780
like cultural hijacking where it's like, take something that's already good. And then we tweak
00:05:42.740
it to what we want. You can't develop from the ground up a new gay character. Who's awesome.
00:05:47.520
You know? So it's like, let's just print another movie, get a little headline for the marketing
00:05:52.280
portion. Cause these movies spend like movies, comics, whatever, spend a significant portion
00:05:57.200
of their money mark, just marketing it. So they're like, let's get some free headlines.
00:06:01.880
Superman's gay now. And it's just a cultural hijacking. It's like, they took something else
00:06:06.600
and made it worse instead of inventing something from the ground up and hoping that it worked out.
00:06:11.000
Exactly. And then when it fails because it's worse, it doesn't fail because it's worse. It
00:06:15.740
fails because people need to improve and people need to make more progress and people aren't ready
00:06:20.260
for it yet. It's a vicious, vicious cycle. They demand we suspend belief. And I'm the most
00:06:25.080
realistic person of all time. And it's like, they do this for Lizzo too. Did you see what Lizzo was
00:06:29.520
wearing the other day? Unfortunately, I did see, I saw multiple angles, multiple videos.
00:06:33.440
Yeah. So I did as well. Lizzo went to Cardi B's party, I believe. And she was wearing,
00:06:39.700
I don't know, netting. Yeah. Is that what you call it?
00:06:43.080
It looked like a fishnet. She got caught in a, like pure fishnets and she just naked and
00:06:46.880
she had no shoes on. Oh, I didn't see the no shoes.
00:06:49.780
And then everyone's saying like, you know, Lizzo's so brave because she's handling all the backlash
00:06:57.680
Yeah. Lizzo stole the show. We have to pretend we have to manufacture this. Oh yeah. Lizzo.
00:07:01.800
Great. Lizzo. Great. Lizzo. Healthy. Lizzo. Good. This good. Lizzo. Fat. Good. Fat. Good.
00:07:07.500
And I mean, obviously I'm a person of size myself. I'm allowed to make fun of Lizzo. Not even make
00:07:13.260
fun of, I'm allowed to call this out because I weigh 300 pounds as well. So I'm allowed to say this
00:07:18.440
like Lizzo. What's the truth here? You are not healthy based on your weight, which is fine. You know,
00:07:26.180
a lot of people aren't, you are not beautiful either. I didn't say that, but yeah, you probably,
00:07:31.800
are less beautiful than other people because not as many people are attracted to size people of size.
00:07:39.080
Yeah. So that's a fact. And it's like, instead of sitting with that uncomfortable fact humbly
00:07:44.220
and saying, Hmm, if I want to be better and healthier and more attractive, maybe there's
00:07:49.260
some things I can work on. Instead of doing that, she saran wraps herself, shows up to Cardi B's party
00:07:55.400
and whoever says anything other than yes, go queen. Now those people are hateful. Lizzo's the
00:08:02.400
victim and everything. It's just like a cycle where it's like, Oh, Lizzo got hate, but look how brave
00:08:06.600
she is. Yeah. You are brave. Lizzo, you're naked in the street with no shoes on. That's crazy. I
00:08:10.560
don't know any rational person who would do that. No one does that. So it's like, Oh, Lizzo's so brave.
00:08:14.980
And then all of the hate she got her from these body shamers, fat phobic. And it's like, what we're
00:08:19.780
doing is softening the blow and creating this environment where Lizzo can thrive. When in
00:08:25.080
reality, maybe Lizzo does need to sit with her thoughts and say, how can I improve? What can I
00:08:30.320
do better? How do I be healthier? But we don't let her have that moment to herself because everyone's
00:08:35.040
like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Lizzo's going to drop dead on the stage one day. Oh, we ran that
00:08:40.260
one into the ground. Yeah. Dude. Well, it's again, it's another one of those instances of
00:08:46.440
the reaction being manufactured and propping up this thing that they want to happen. Lizzo
00:08:51.620
stole the show. Lizzo bold and amazing. And it's like, dude, what are we celebrating here?
00:08:57.940
Yeah. It's like, I'm not intimidated by Lizzo's boldness and her power and her strength. I'm
00:09:03.320
intimidated by like the Warren sap side of Lizzo, the three, the four point stance shaking in her stance
00:09:09.080
coming down, you know, and I can't dig her out. That twitchy leg and white knuckles just
00:09:12.940
sweating. And she knows the snap count and she's coming off and you got to dig her out with the
00:09:17.600
guard. Very specific interior alignment thing, but some people will get that. Chinese don't
00:09:23.140
appreciate that. Yeah. There you go. Lizzo is, according to Google, 308. Oh no, they changed it.
00:09:31.280
They changed it. It says 260 now. We looked this up less than a day or two ago. It said 308.
00:09:37.080
So maybe she lost 40 pounds and 50 pounds in a day, uh, based on that fishnet outfit. I don't
00:09:42.960
think so. Lizzo, as someone who wants to go from 308 to 260 overnight myself, you can't just do that.
00:09:51.000
And if you can, let me know who did and let's get some of these fleckus weights adjusted.
00:09:56.080
Do you know, in high school, I used to do that where I would like my sophomore year, because I
00:09:59.580
wanted to get recruited for football. I put, I was six, three, like two 90 on the, on the pamphlet.
00:10:04.680
And then by my senior year, we had like more official stuff. And I was like six, one, two
00:10:09.180
80. It's like you shrunk and lost 15 pounds from sophomore year to senior year. Yeah.
00:10:14.920
Shows up showing up to the recruiting meeting with just Timberlands and lifts. And you're
00:10:18.860
just like, your arms are short, but you're somehow six, four.
00:10:23.500
Exactly. I used to literally do that. I went to a Franciscan Catholic school, the teachers
00:10:29.380
and the principal, all the people, they were like in robes. They were like brothers and
00:10:33.300
sisters. So like nuns and Franciscan brothers. And they were actually so cool and so down to
00:10:39.340
earth and everyone loved me. I was a very cool, nice, great kid, high school kid. All right.
00:10:44.420
And so I was getting recruited for football and I was telling brother Gary, the principal,
00:10:48.500
I was like, brother Gary, I need to be tall when these coaches come to meet me. I can't wear the
00:10:53.160
school uniform shoes. I need to wear Timberlands with the heels of other shoes cut out, stacked
00:10:58.720
up and put in my boots. So I'm standing like six, three and a little bit more when they come.
00:11:03.320
So they're like, Oh, take the boots off. He's six one. I mean, that's basically what I did.
00:11:08.000
And it worked. It worked. It absolutely worked. Everyone met me and they're like, Oh, this guy
00:11:11.480
is pretty big. I thought he was going to be a little short. And then, yeah, eventually I did go to
00:11:15.800
school for football and never, never looked back. Started a lot. Started a lot. It didn't matter how tall
00:11:21.400
I was. I just needed to be letting the door. Smart. Speaking of letting the door, I have a
00:11:27.420
friend who works at a restaurant and she said that Demi Lovato came in the other day and Oh,
00:11:32.060
this is firsthand personal. This is firsthand real story about Demi Lovato, who we're going to be
00:11:36.760
talking about anyway, because she's doing muppetry into the stratosphere. She's been on a terror.
00:11:42.720
She's been on a terror. She, so for those who don't know, Demi Lovato is like former pop singer,
00:11:48.100
Disney type, former pop singer, Disney type became some sort of like asexual Muppet thumb
00:11:53.960
head. I'm not being mean. I have some thumb tendencies. If I look like a thumb, my head
00:12:00.040
can when I shave it. So I'm allowed to say it as well. She looks kind of like a thumb weird
00:12:04.680
hair bowl cut. It's not the best look, but she's playing her role as the deep state pawn
00:12:11.140
Muppet that she is. So the other day she said that we shouldn't call aliens aliens because
00:12:16.820
that's a derogatory term. Instead we should call them extraterrestrials or ETs. That's
00:12:21.520
what she said. And she's an absolute idiot. So my friend works at a restaurant and said
00:12:26.240
that she called ahead and said, you need to open the back door. There's someone very famous
00:12:31.060
coming in to be escorted through the back. So then the person's like, okay, open the back
00:12:36.060
door for Demi Lovato comes in. No one even knows who she is. Like no one even turns their
00:12:41.080
head. No one even recognizes her in the restaurant. And she sat there and whatever, but she called
00:12:45.780
the head and said, very famous person. You need to open the back. I need to come into
00:12:49.340
the back. That's a Leo DiCaprio level move for a Demi Lovato level celeb.
00:12:53.800
Yeah. So absolutely nothing. And then she said the ET thing the other day. So stupid. But
00:12:59.260
I think those things are actually just deep state bait. They kind of send her out on like
00:13:03.220
a kamikaze mission where it's like, say ETs is good and aliens is offensive. And then we'll
00:13:09.340
get like all the Ben Shapiro types and the conservatives to go debate and make fun of it. And they
00:13:14.340
move the goalposts like, oh, look how crazy that these liberals and leftists are getting.
00:13:18.220
And they gets us all riled up. And then in the meantime, they execute John Gruden.
00:13:23.200
They push us further. Like, oh, look how far they want to go. They want us. They want to
00:13:27.940
police the wording for aliens. And then in the meantime, John Gruden's fired for calling
00:13:36.300
So it's like there is a strategy to it, I guess. It's like you put some troops on one front
00:13:41.080
and you let them get mowed down. But then that leaves us vulnerable to like the back door
00:13:44.940
where you take actually someone out who, I don't know, John Gruden is not the biggest
00:13:54.240
And they fired him for the emails. It's like, dude, football coaches, you don't even know.
00:13:59.960
Football coaches say all kinds of crazy stuff. And it's actually great. It's a great environment
00:14:04.800
for young men to learn to be young men and or at any level. So it's like to give it this
00:14:11.460
treatment, like this Hollywood treatment, like, oh, what did he say? He's anti-trans or
00:14:15.460
he made fun of Roger Goodell, called him a pussy. He called someone else another name.
00:14:20.120
And it's just like, you should see the things that were said to me in high school by my football
00:14:24.260
coach. Every worst name in the book, he would make people cry. He would just chew you out
00:14:29.520
and humiliate you. And that was a sign that he liked you and he actually cared and he wanted
00:14:34.320
Yeah, exactly. Dude, that's what I had a football coach who always used to say, when I stop
00:14:38.240
yelling at you, that's when you'll know it's over. Like, yeah, I'm trying to make you be
00:14:43.780
And then the kids he didn't yell at were just like, oh, this kid's a lost cause. He'll
00:14:46.740
never get it. And they got off easy. And they're like, huh, I'm getting off easy.
00:14:52.240
You're never going to play. You're not trusted. You're never going in. So yeah, they come for
00:14:56.060
John Gruden. They take him out. He's been a legendary coach forever. And I guess that the
00:15:01.080
NFL is heading in, as they say, a gayer direction. They're gay, they're trans, they're LGBT, they
00:15:06.700
say. So that's kind of what happens. And it's just like, we need to remove our reverence.
00:15:11.500
We need to stop caring about football and athletes because these aren't actual role models. Because
00:15:16.700
if they were role models, they've been removed from the system already. So now it's like any
00:15:22.420
real man, man who's left is going to get kind of chopped down.
00:15:27.660
I mean, they made Randy Moss cry on national TV, like Randy Moss, tough football guy.
00:15:33.940
Yeah, exactly. How many, Randy Moss, like how many injuries have you played through? How many
00:15:37.680
like crazy experiences have you had in football? How hard have you gone? How many opportunities
00:15:41.760
have you missed or done well at? Like all these things that have shaped your life and like
00:15:45.940
made you who you are. And then you find out John Gruden called someone a pussy in an email
00:15:50.540
and now you're getting like mad about it. You're crying. Yeah. You're sad. Yeah. It's
00:15:55.540
so embarrassing. Isn't it crazy that of all people, it's John Gruden emails from 10 years
00:16:00.700
ago and he gets in trouble. How many situations are there where there's the football player
00:16:05.000
or the coach gets involved in domestic abuse, domestic violence. Tyreek Hill, I believe was
00:16:10.240
arrested for choking and hitting his pregnant girlfriend before the season. But he's called
00:16:15.460
the cheetah and he runs fast and you know, he's allowed, but it's like they won a Super
00:16:19.480
ball. It's not even about the things that they pretend to stand for. It's just about
00:16:23.860
who's with them and who's against them. And if they can use these fake rules against their
00:16:27.520
political opponents, of course, Richard Sherman banging on a door yelling for his wife and
00:16:32.920
he's going to beat her dad's ass and some shit like that. And then he's fine. He can play
00:16:36.540
this summer. Yeah. That was the summer. He's playing on like all different teams. Antonio
00:16:40.260
Brown paid settlement to a woman who accused him of rape, paid a settlement starting on
00:16:45.780
the Bucs. He's good to go. Everyone's good to go. They're all allowed to play. But John
00:16:50.260
Gruden, who's probably an old school type who doesn't like the direction the NFL is headed
00:16:54.200
because Roger Goodell is actually a Muppet, the worst.
00:16:58.080
Yep. And he actually has influence too. You know, John Gruden, it's like he left his impact
00:17:02.940
on Tampa. He left his impact on Oakland. He had a national audience because he was the
00:17:08.620
guy on Monday night football. So he had a lot of people's ears and a ton of respect in the
00:17:13.280
league. And then obviously the Raiders moved from like Oakland to Vegas. So it's like, he's got
00:17:19.040
three main cities, a national audience because of how he was on Monday night football. But yeah.
00:17:24.100
And also take him out, I guess. I don't know fully all the ins and outs of John Gruden.
00:17:28.940
I've only heard good things up until this. And it's like, think about him as a coach.
00:17:33.700
Were there years of players stepping up and being like, yo, John Gruden's secretly racist.
00:17:38.520
That's the sixth time. Yeah. Like that's the thing. He calls me this. He says that. He treats
00:17:42.920
certain players a certain way. It's like, this guy is a legendary coach. He's been respected
00:17:47.160
by players of every race for so long to have a team play for their coach. There's like a
00:17:53.540
certain, there's an aspect of respect there where you have to, you're playing for John
00:17:57.760
Gruden. And it's like, if he was a bad guy, a truly bad guy for these things, they're accusing
00:18:02.460
him of being bad for racist and homophobic and whatever the players wouldn't have played
00:18:06.620
for him. So like the fact that you're hearing about it now in this way, and then you're like,
00:18:10.660
Oh yeah. Trust us. Trust Roger Goodell. John Gruden's a bad guy. He has to go trust
00:18:16.120
Randy Moss crying. What about every player who played for him? Who probably had nothing
00:18:19.880
but good things to say about him? Yeah. They don't care. They're, they don't matter
00:18:22.920
in the moment. It doesn't. And that's like, this is one where it's like rat boy. And I
00:18:27.000
played football in college. We've had a bunch of coaches our whole lives. You know, the
00:18:30.540
type, like a rough around the edges, say what you want kind of goes hard on the, on, on
00:18:34.600
people. Maybe he's my favorite type of coach. It's the best. That's what football's all
00:18:38.320
about. I love that. And it turns out he's a bad guy and no one knew. We will only found
00:18:44.360
out cause we saw his emails with his buddies. And we sending like boomer emails to people
00:18:48.280
probably forwarded like a forward this to 50 people and you know, laugh. And you call
00:18:53.660
Joe Biden a, uh, was it clueless, nervous, clueless, nervous, clueless pussy. That's probably
00:18:59.300
what, that's probably what sent him into Siberia. Well, RIP to John Gruden. You're always welcome
00:19:05.400
on the show. I hope he makes a comeback. Yeah. Make a comeback. And if you want to come talk
00:19:09.080
about it, we'll obviously host you. I've sent the video I made earlier this week to
00:19:13.580
Richie Incognito. Hopefully he sends it to you. Did you see Dave Chappelle stand up over
00:19:19.440
the weekend? Yeah, we watched it together. Hmm. Well, that's a perfect liaison to the next
00:19:24.960
subject. What'd you think of it? I mean, it was good. It was funny. It was pretty funny.
00:19:30.260
And then the trans people at Netflix try to cancel them. Those trans people at Netflix think
00:19:34.860
they have a ton of power, I guess. What is, what is the most, like, how do you, is it because
00:19:40.760
you've been a victim and now everyone pops you up? You think it's like you get, you get all the
00:19:45.480
equal treatment and then some to make up for how long you've been a victim. Yep, exactly. You get
00:19:49.840
complaint priority or something. Isn't that nuts? And it's like, you guys can't hand, we can't make
00:19:54.940
fun of you. Dave Chappelle made fun of pretty much everybody in a special, but you get to trans
00:19:58.740
people and you're like, you can't make fun of us. You can't handle it for a lot of them. It's like,
00:20:03.000
you're a guy in a dress with lipstick and hairy arms and it's like, yep, that's, that's a lot to
00:20:08.760
handle walking into like the food court at the mall. It's like, that's pretty impressive. You're
00:20:12.860
able to handle that. You can't handle a joke on Netflix. That you can easily turn off. Yeah. And
00:20:18.140
not watch. Exactly. Like, why are you getting cyber bullied dog? Just turn off the computer.
00:20:23.000
Yeah. Why are you getting cyber bullied dog? But yeah, that, no, that's a, a big thing. It's like,
00:20:28.000
they, they think they have so much power, like a trans walkout at Netflix. Oh my gosh. It's like,
00:20:34.460
you know, Dave Chappelle's a $50 million man to Netflix and drives so many people to subscribe
00:20:39.600
and watch. Yeah. You're a purple haired girl with a mustache and a Mazda Miata. Like we don't
00:20:44.000
fucking care. Entry level job. Like I don't even know where these people are at in the Netflix
00:20:47.660
organization. And if you're trans, you were probably hired because we need trans people around here,
00:20:53.060
right? Not because you're the best coder or programmer or Netflix worker. You're probably
00:20:58.080
just like, um, the, what's it called? The, the, the higher they had to do. Yeah. The diversity
00:21:03.980
diversity hire. Yeah. So you let in the diversity hire and now you're stuck with the consequences
00:21:08.480
of it. So I kind of like it. I'm, yeah, I'm kind of good with it. I'm fine with putting trans
00:21:13.680
people, I don't want to say in their place. Cause that could sound bad. I'm fine with put,
00:21:18.560
I'm fine with knocking trans people down a notch or two. For sure. I like the situation
00:21:23.920
too, where it's like someone has to explain to these people in a nice corporate speak
00:21:29.380
setting that like, Hey, I, I hear you, but we're going to go with Dave Chappelle on this.
00:21:35.500
Like we like Dave Chappelle. We got to hear Dave side. So I get it that you're a finance
00:21:40.540
million dollars we made over in one week. I get it that you're a financial analyst or, you
00:21:45.160
know, uh, you're a backend coder or you're a marketing specialist, but you're very replaceable
00:21:50.840
and Dave Chappelle is not. And just because you're a guy who thinks you're their girl doesn't
00:21:57.600
give you any special treatment or prioritization when it comes to like how you think about things.
00:22:03.260
In fact, I would say it's the opposite. If I was taking, if I went to my mechanic and it
00:22:09.660
was a dude in a dress with lipstick and he's like, yeah, I'm Betty. I'm going to bang
00:22:15.080
around your car a little bit. I'd be like, is there someone else here who can maybe handle
00:22:20.920
this a little bit? You know, someone a little bit more serious, maybe. Yeah. Someone who's
00:22:25.920
not confused about their own parts, the most basic aspect of their life. Can we get someone
00:22:32.480
who maybe just like worked on cars for a while? And it's so funny. Cause isn't that the thing?
00:22:37.240
Like it used to be like repression in the 1950s and it's like, wow, it turns out Mike has been
00:22:42.520
breaking into other, like, you know, the, the guy who runs the bank turns out he's been, uh,
00:22:46.820
breaking into people's houses and huffing undies. And it's like, oh my God, Mike. And it's like,
00:22:51.720
you used to hide your freak behavior and then get caught. But now it's full flag freak stuff and,
00:22:58.080
uh, take, take me as I am. And you're punished. If not like the closeting, everyone's like making it
00:23:04.740
like, Oh, going back to the closet is like the worst thing ever. I think the reality, the truth
00:23:09.400
is somewhere in between the two. Maybe closeting was extreme and no one was allowed to express
00:23:14.980
themselves. But I think how far we let the pendulum swing from that went a little too far.
00:23:21.700
Remember the pride parades? It used to be, we just want love is love. We want to love who we want.
00:23:26.120
We want the freedom to do it. Now they're doing like twerking in the street and the little boy,
00:23:29.860
little boy underwear. It was like, I want to be able to go in the hospital room when my gay
00:23:33.500
husband is dying and they don't let me do that. Yeah. I want my tax benefits, my tax benefits of a
00:23:38.280
marriage license. It's like, great. I understand that. But, uh, you're twerking and it's actually
00:23:42.480
a kid twerking and it's the pride parade and there's babies around. Yeah. Now there's books
00:23:47.380
in school where they're taking, talking about oral sex with like a man and a child. Yeah. And
00:23:51.960
you're yelling it's ma'am at me at a very, excuse me, it's ma'am, a deep voice. It is ma'am.
00:23:59.660
It's hard to keep up. It's hard to keep up. It's a circus and it's hard to keep up. On Amazon,
00:24:04.420
there's this thing that's like, if you want to shop based on race, you can shop by like black
00:24:09.460
owned business, Asian owned business, woman owned business. Yeah. I was wondering if that's of any
00:24:14.620
interest to you, Richard Rappoy. No, I think you gave racist the tools to, uh, avoid certain
00:24:21.140
products probably. So all the people in the South go, Hey, where the white owned business is. I'm
00:24:25.360
looking for a white owned business. Yeah. I mean, it's just racism. I'm from a Confederate flag. I want
00:24:29.820
to buy a Confederate flag from a wide owned business. It's just a racism under the guise
00:24:35.120
of progressivism. Once again, as it always is. So make sure you do holiday shopping based
00:24:41.220
on who the people you're buying from want to sleep with and what they were born looking
00:24:46.560
like. And you know what? Very important. You know what? You never, I may be way off base
00:24:50.820
on this, but like black people are obviously having their moment the year and a half. It's
00:24:56.820
like, where are the Latinos at? Where are the Hispanics at? I guess Cubans are kind
00:25:01.360
of like an outspoken group, but like Mexicans and stuff. It's like, you're a pretty big percentage.
00:25:05.940
You're almost bigger than the black population. Right? Yeah. So that's a massive block, cultural
00:25:12.080
block, voting block. I haven't heard a peep out of them, but we still get, I think they
00:25:16.280
don't fall into the longterm like, or like the LGBT intersectional aspect of it where it's
00:25:23.120
like, Oh, I'm trans and I stand with my DACA brothers and sisters. Like they're not, they
00:25:29.560
don't, they're not fully on that wave where it's like, Oh yeah, you're, you're a lesbian
00:25:34.160
and I'm an illegal immigrant. We stand together against Trump. It's, they're just like, no,
00:25:40.000
I just want to go to work. I'm Catholic. I want to go to work and said $44 back via what's
00:25:47.160
Western union. Yeah. So it's like, that's, that's really what it is. Then they're kind of
00:25:50.720
realizing that they can't get the Latinos and in the black community, you can kind of
00:25:55.960
get the youth and the black women pretty easily. And then like the sellout black men, like the
00:26:01.820
Al Sharpton types and the ones that are higher up that are doing all the race baiting. Um,
00:26:06.840
but the fact that the family units in black culture are more broken is what allows the
00:26:13.280
transgenderism to seep in. Gotcha. Fair. Makes sense. It does make sense to me. Yeah. Cause it's
00:26:19.640
like you got, you have some Latino kid in America and you can relate to them and find some things
00:26:24.460
they like, but then they go home and they tell their hardworking dad, like, Oh dad, today
00:26:29.260
I learned that I'm actually a girl. He's gonna go, I don't, I don't, I don't know. Go to
00:26:33.560
your room. I don't work all day. So you can pretend. I'm not good at accents. Did you see
00:26:42.800
the, uh, South? I don't have to use my words correctly. Cause we get in trouble. Okay. The
00:26:47.860
Southwest sick out. Everyone went, everyone went sick at the same time. It's technically
00:26:54.800
not a strike. If you say it's a Southwest strike because all of the workers stopped going to work
00:27:00.360
for a few days over the, uh, over last weekend, uh, resulting in like hundreds, if not thousands
00:27:05.500
of canceled flights. Um, but then Southwest CEO came on and said, there's no evidence that it was for
00:27:11.680
the vaccine mandates. It was just some bad weather and some misunderstanding of some people not showing
00:27:18.980
up when in reality it was a coordinated, we're all going to take sick on the same day and make
00:27:24.300
Southwest kind of hear the message. Yeah. The freedom flu got pretty contagious. The freedom
00:27:29.300
flu. But then if you say, Oh, the Southwest employees and pilots went on strike, they fact
00:27:34.780
check you and they go back to the Southwest CEO and then the news and there's no reports that
00:27:39.200
actually it was this and all the unions say, Oh, it's not a real strike because the strikes
00:27:44.520
have to go through the unions and they're not for that. So it had to be like an unorganized
00:27:49.820
organized strike. That's not a strike. Everyone just got fake sick on the same day. That, uh,
00:27:55.500
that don't tread on me flag out of the cockpit. That was just a wind sock. Yeah. The guy was
00:27:59.760
looking for the wind direction. Unrelated. No biggie, no strike, but that's a great way to do
00:28:04.560
it. That's like the perfect people to protest that way because flights is high stakes. People
00:28:09.480
are missing their flights. They need to go places and they're not able to. So a point is made. It
00:28:14.020
affects Southwest's bottom line for sure. Money's not made. They're actually probably hemorrhaging
00:28:18.280
money. They, I think, and this is how it used to work when I used to work at an airline, but it's
00:28:23.380
like if they have all these people stranded or whatever, and they don't have the aircraft to
00:28:27.780
actually get it done, they'd have to like buy seats on United or buy seats on American for their
00:28:32.920
passengers. So it's literally money out the door if that's how it happened, which is great.
00:28:37.300
Cause it's like, there are people that want to protest. Like I, especially like doctors and
00:28:41.480
nurses, but like doctors and nurses, you can't really have like a walkout because then you're
00:28:45.400
leaving people in the hospital and you're just lighting up your patient. Yeah. Like that's tough,
00:28:49.300
but this is a perfect group that kind of represents everyone. They're very necessary people. They're very
00:28:54.400
important workers, very skilled workers. And if they were to do this and organize and then other
00:29:00.200
industries follow, say trucking follows, if there's a truck driver and they just go 50, no 50 trucks on
00:29:06.740
a highway going 10 miles an hour. Yeah, exactly. And they just block things off. Like they kind of
00:29:10.620
did in Australia a few weeks ago. You will quickly send your message to the very high up areas in this
00:29:16.980
country. I would love to see that. And I think there's going to be a meat shortage coming. I think
00:29:20.860
that's kind of what's going to happen. I think it'll eventually get to the truckers saying,
00:29:23.760
uh, uh, then everyone going, Oh no, why pork so much? Where steak go? Yep. We're ribeyes.
00:29:30.300
They all went up. They all went up because it was a let's go Brandon. Come on. So moving on to the
00:29:37.080
next thing, the fate of Jerry's testicles. Jerry is the dog, by the way, is our dog. I probably should
00:29:44.400
clarify that he's a Rottweiler. He's a Rottweiler puppy. He's seven months old and everyone is
00:29:50.680
pressuring me to cut his balls off and neuter him. And everyone meaning like the employees at
00:29:58.520
the animal hospital you go to. Yeah. The employees, the animal hospital. And then I was at that dog
00:30:01.900
park the other day and this horrible woman was there and she's looking at Jerry. Like she's
00:30:06.040
scared of him cause he's a Rottweiler, even though he's the sweetest dog of all time, least aggressive
00:30:10.220
dog. I wish he was actually meaner and he's not, he's just not a bad bone in his body. And she looks
00:30:16.280
at him and he's, his back is facing her. So his balls, she's looking at his balls and
00:30:22.280
she goes, Oh, is he neutered? And I was like, no, you know, the answer. She knows the answer
00:30:27.580
and she goes, Oh, okay. Like as if she was kind of like nervous about it. And it's like
00:30:31.820
this same scared Karen is like why things are so bad in this country as well. People like
00:30:37.740
reacting to like people who are scared and like, so it's like, it's like, Oh, you know,
00:30:41.740
like put your mask on. Like it's like the same energy. Don't you have a mask like six
00:30:47.800
feet? Like do you have a vaccine? So it, it clicked in my head and I was like this lady
00:30:53.620
at the dog park. It's like a, it's an urban legend. Probably it's like the old wives tale.
00:30:57.260
Ooh, you have to get the dog neutered ASAP or it's going to be aggressive. The dog is the
00:31:00.940
best dog. Yeah. So, and we want him to grow with testosterone and intact body parts.
00:31:07.120
Exactly. Because if we neuter him now, he'll grow to full size and he'll be just like a lanky scared
00:31:12.900
dog. He needs to be Chad six, six, never back down. Always square up fight, win, know what it's
00:31:21.660
like to win. Then we cut his nuts off and then he'll just kind of naturally be the Chad. He remembers he
00:31:27.040
was, but he won't get why it's not the same. Exactly. If we cut his balls off now, he'll just be a big
00:31:32.440
baby. And then some Chad with his nuts will chat him. And then I'll be humiliated at the dog
00:31:36.960
park. Yep. I'll have to get a new dog park and go to a new place. We're gonna be jumping around
00:31:40.760
the city, change the whole life. And it's going to ruin my life. Yep. So we're keeping his nuts.
00:31:45.980
We're not capitulating to people who are scared and say, Oh, you just wear a mask. It makes it
00:31:51.980
makes it safer for everyone. The dog doesn't do anything. He's a fine, sweet boy. He's keeping
00:31:57.400
his nuts. You hear that Jerry? You're keeping your nuts, pal. And I'm very happy that Fleck has made
00:32:03.000
this decision too. Cause it could have just been the easy thing. Like we got the appointment
00:32:06.920
on the calendar. Let's just take him. And we stayed strong. So stayed strong, unneutered
00:32:12.860
Rottweiler who we actually had to, I had to use an online service to find a pet sitter for
00:32:18.800
this weekend. And when I use the service, I'm not going to say which one cause I don't want
00:32:23.960
people to message them and get my account canceled. No, that happened with like Etsy or
00:32:28.340
something. My account got canceled. Um, but yeah, we, I use this pet sitting service and
00:32:35.040
first of all, I'll just say it. It's Rover.com. It's the big one. It's the big one. And I'm
00:32:40.920
using the service. So it's basically like I sign up and it's like, pick a person to watch
00:32:44.520
your dog and they have all these reviews. So they're all like real dog watchers, but I'm
00:32:49.900
going through. And then first of all, there's people on this website that will go live in
00:32:56.080
your house and watch your dog and like live in your home. I didn't know it was like that for $27
00:33:01.240
a day. No way. Which is absolutely bonkers. That's a good deal for them. I mean, uh, yeah,
00:33:07.740
but it's like, I'd be on Rover looking for my next, if I was like a, you know, bum, I'd be on
00:33:12.320
Rover looking for my next three weeks. I'm like, I'm going to have someone in my house who comes
00:33:17.460
here for $27 and what are they going to steal all my stuff? Why wouldn't you $27 or everything I
00:33:24.980
have? I don't own anything great, but I mean the projector, you could just take it. There's
00:33:30.920
a lot of tech in here. What kind of people go, they live in your house for $27? Where
00:33:35.100
do they sleep? And then for like $8 less, they'll just stop by and let the dog out, check in on
00:33:41.660
them, give them water and food and then leave. So it's like for $8, you're going to spend the
00:33:47.240
whole day and night at my house. It's like, don't you have things to do? $27? Clearly
00:33:51.160
not. For $54, you're going to like ruin your whole weekend. Maybe people don't think like
00:33:55.820
I do, but that would just be like the absolute worst soul suck time suck of my life. No, they
00:34:00.340
see it as a vacation probably. They're like, all right, free house. Yeah. So I'm going through
00:34:05.140
the list of like the people. There's the, there's the pseudo Chad type. Who's like, Oh, I'd love
00:34:11.080
to add your dog to my pack. And he's got like seven leashes and goes to the dog park every
00:34:14.880
day. Yep. Not what I'm looking for. He's got enough Chad energy in his life. We don't need
00:34:19.760
to pass him off to someone who doesn't fully know what to do. Oh, let's see where he fits
00:34:23.100
in in the pack. Oh, it looks like Nico showed him who was boss. Yeah. Like those type of
00:34:28.620
those type of guys who are just like, sometimes I get down on all fours and I have to show
00:34:32.420
them who's the real alpha. Yeah. And also wear like Tiva sandals. And it's like, well, for
00:34:37.440
that reason I'm out. So I can't pick a guy who thinks he's a Chad. I can't pick a lady
00:34:43.580
like an older lady because their house smells and Jerry might knock her down or something.
00:34:49.580
Imagine, imagine like some old ladies, nice house with like pink carpets and like the couch
00:34:54.220
that matches the wallpaper. And it's like, you're gonna have Jerry in there and it smells
00:34:57.880
like an old, yeah. Doilies. It's going to smell like an old lady house. So then it's
00:35:01.360
like, I'm kind of going through and I'm realizing like the two people I picked were both like good
00:35:06.020
looking girls. And then I'm like, Oh shit. Like, is this illegal? Like am I going on a rover.com
00:35:11.560
and picking like two good looking girls? Cause I think a girl energy is be good for Jerry.
00:35:15.620
It'd be a little vacation. For sure. It'd be some girl who thinks he's so sweet and so cute
00:35:19.300
and treats him like a little prince and loves him and look, you know, it's nice to him all weekend.
00:35:23.600
That's what I'm looking for. And there was a couple options. I sent some messages. We got him
00:35:29.060
locked up. He's got a good place to stay this weekend. Some of these people it's like, Oh yeah,
00:35:32.980
he can join me. I have three dogs and two cats would love no problem. Adding one more rules at all.
00:35:38.240
Yeah. What does your apartment smell like? Number one, three dogs and two cats. And you're
00:35:42.880
going to add Jerry to that pass. That's a hard pass. That's a no for me, dog. How much did the
00:35:47.960
prices vary? Like I think if this one's like 50 bucks a day. Okay. Standards. And I just drop them
00:35:53.900
off and I pick them up two days. She's going to enjoy having a puppy. She'll think it's so nice. And
00:35:58.620
she didn't have any dogs over herself. That was the key. No other pets and a person who had a good
00:36:04.260
amount of reviews. Didn't have a smelly lady house. Wasn't a stupid guy. A lot of the dudes
00:36:10.180
that I was looking through, like in Rover, a lot of the dudes gave me, I'm going to fart
00:36:14.940
in your dog's face when you're not around vibes. Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:36:18.160
Yeah. The type who like, you know, pulls the dog and then farts in their face. Not having
00:36:22.940
that. No one's doing that to my Jerry. Except for you. Never done that. That'd be so weird.
00:36:29.800
