Fleccas Talks Podcast - EPISODE 004 SUPERMAN IS GAY ｜ LIZZO IS BRAVE ｜ GRUDEN IS GONE ｜ THE FATE OF JERRY’S NUTS

00:00:00.000 Superman is gay now and why that's good. Demi Lovato takes her muppetry into the stratosphere. 1.00

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. 0.90

00:01:29.120 Richard Ratboy, can you read the highlights from the Guardian article? 0.95

00:01:31.700 Yes. DC Comics reveals latest Superman as woke bisexual. First bullet point, the Man of Steel will 1.00

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 1.00

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. 0.93

00:02:27.700 Okay. So it's not about having the right proportions and a couple of gay people here and 1.00

00:02:32.980 there. They made everybody gay. Yeah. And then this last point says, the idea of replacing Clark Kent 0.99

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 1.00

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,

00:03:05.760 it's a big gamer game kind of.

00:03:06.980 Yeah. The guys who have their entire room, like, you know, figurines and stupid shit. 1.00

00:03:12.120 And now, hey, guess what? All your friends, all the guys you liked, they're gay now. 1.00

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 0.99

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,

00:03:48.500 this is good.

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 0.99

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 0.94

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. 0.99

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 1.00

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.

00:04:35.640 Tom Brady.

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 0.96

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 1.00

00:05:06.000 gravitate towards it. Cause we already suspend disbelief enough for James Bond. Now a girl is 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.94

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 1.00

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

00:06:55.140 and it's like. Lizzo stole the show.

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 0.62

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 0.99

00:09:09.080 coming down, you know, and I can't dig her out. That twitchy leg and white knuckles just 1.00

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 1.00

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. 0.89

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 0.71

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 1.00

00:12:04.680 hair bowl cut. It's not the best look, but she's playing her role as the deep state pawn 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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

00:13:32.480 Roger Goodell gay 10 years ago in an email.

00:13:35.580 Classic.

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

00:13:48.960 character, but football is.

00:13:51.460 Yeah.

00:13:51.580 Football is a pillar.

00:13:52.540 That definitely made waves.

00:13:53.920 Right.

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. 1.00

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

00:14:33.540 you to be good.

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

00:14:43.120 better.

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.

00:14:51.080 You're never going to play.

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 0.97

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 0.99

00:15:50.540 and now you're getting like mad about it. You're crying. Yeah. You're sad. Yeah. It's 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.90

00:16:54.200 because Roger Goodell is actually a Muppet, the worst. 0.85

00:16:58.080 Yep. And he actually has influence too. You know, John Gruden, it's like he left his impact 0.95

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 1.00

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 0.58

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:20:44.000 fucking care. Entry level job. Like I don't even know where these people are at in the Netflix 0.99

00:20:47.660 organization. And if you're trans, you were probably hired because we need trans people around here, 0.90

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 1.00

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, 0.55

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 1.00

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 0.84

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 0.99

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 0.76

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 0.99

00:24:56.820 like, where are the Latinos at? Where are the Hispanics at? I guess Cubans are kind 0.57

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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

00:25:45.760 it called?

00:25:46.580 Western union.

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 0.99

00:25:55.960 get the youth and the black women pretty easily. And then like the sellout black men, like the 1.00

00:26:01.820 Al Sharpton types and the ones that are higher up that are doing all the race baiting. Um, 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.99

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 1.00

00:30:22.280 she goes, Oh, is he neutered? And I was like, no, you know, the answer. She knows the answer 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.92

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 1.00

00:34:43.580 like an older lady because their house smells and Jerry might knock her down or something. 1.00

00:34:49.580 Imagine, imagine like some old ladies, nice house with like pink carpets and like the couch 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:35:11.560 and picking like two good looking girls? Cause I think a girl energy is be good for Jerry. 1.00

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 So you're going to go back and change all the old episodes to 001, 002. Yep. We're going to change
