00:00:00.000All right, welcome back to Fleck of Socks, the podcast episode 37. Today on the show,
00:00:04.300we do an in-depth review on Pride and everything we've seen so far. We'll give you a hint. It's
00:00:08.640lots of butt stuff and the kids are being forced to watch. After that, Lizzo is in some hot water
00:00:13.300for some ableist lyrics in a recent song of hers, which is weird because I wouldn't consider her
00:00:18.040the most able-bodied person. I'm allowed to say that. I don't fit in the plane seat either.
00:00:22.820After that, Shannon Sharp is in this week's Cringe of the Week because he said that white
00:00:26.520people have never fought for anything in their entire lives. And last but not least,
00:00:30.940in this week's Urban Decay, a security company's squad cars got stolen and are now being used to
00:00:36.540commit crimes. All this and more is Fleck of Socks, the podcast episode 37. Ranked the best new podcast
00:00:41.840of all time. Because words are just words until action actually starts. And actions speak louder
00:00:47.740than words. But at the same time, words speak louder than actions because sometimes it's the right
00:00:52.620thing to do. Very cool. Very cool. Very cool.
00:00:58.040I just want to stop this podcast featuring Richard.
00:01:01.640One for one on the intro. As always, before we get into the show, guys, this episode is brought

00:02:15.600first. This is not a bit. David Hug should go out with Kamala Harris's stepdaughter. Why hasn't
00:02:22.560anyone brought that up? I'm not doing a bit. I'm not making a joke. This is a sincere thing.
00:02:26.300He goes to Harvard. He's a Harvard guy. He's a man of crimson. These two should get together.
00:02:31.400That's just my idea. Second thing second. This is some housekeeping working through quick here.
00:02:35.300The boys are moving to New Orleans. Richard Rappoy and I, typical liberal and his wife always right,
00:02:39.840are all moving to New Orleans. So if anyone wants to buy a 1989 Ford Bronco, let me know. Serious
00:02:47.120inquiries only. Seriously, don't waste my time. Don't ask about it. Here's the picture. It's a
00:02:51.960good looking truck. It runs strong. Let me know if you want to buy it. No low balls. No low balls.
00:02:56.660You know what I like? I like when you get a voicemail on your phone and it would usually like
00:03:02.260give you grief for like anxiety. Yeah. Who am I? Who do I have to call back now? Who's calling me?
00:03:08.200What could it be? Am I in trouble? I love when you kind of change your mindset and you get the
00:03:13.920voicemail and you go, you know what? I'm going to listen to this voicemail and I'm going to get
00:03:17.660back to who it was. I'm going to have like a go get it done day. And then you listen to the
00:03:21.640voicemail and it's truly nobody. And it's a wrong number or what? Well, I had one the other day
00:03:26.380where it's like I got a voicemail from this guy. Like this is how it starts.
00:03:31.560Hi, this is National County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Please join me in voting for
00:03:36.240Lee Zeldin for governor on Tuesday, June 28th. Isn't that great? I'm in the mode of like,
00:03:41.380all right, you know what? I'm going to have a good day today. I'm going to listen to this
00:03:44.080voicemail. I'm going to get back to whoever it was. I'm going to get go get it done.
00:03:47.300Yeah. I owe someone something. And then it's just some pre-recorded go vote for Lee Zeldin.
00:03:53.020One for one. Let's have a day. It's almost as if you completed a task by doing that. It is
00:03:57.500your brain a little bit. And then you have a good day after that because that's like the good energy
00:04:01.000you need to go do the rest of your chores. Yeah. It's a spiraling thing. Yeah. It's an
00:04:05.620upward spiral. Moving on. We're still in housekeeping. The Muppets. Did you see last
00:04:10.600week or earlier in the week? The Muppets, they did like a sketch on Colbert where the Muppets
00:04:16.680were singing about January 6th. So I truly feel vindicated. I've told you guys about this the
00:04:22.700whole time that these people are Muppets. They're controlled. They have puppet strings by they're
00:04:27.000owned by corporations. And yeah, I've been completely proven right, completely vindicated.
00:04:34.260They are Muppets. They are literal Muppets now. And they admit it.
00:04:38.640My question is, who is that for? Is that for the childish adult who goes, oh, that was the day
00:04:44.560democracy ended? Like, I don't I don't know who their audience is. Is that for kids on January 6th?
00:04:50.740I think it's for me. OK. I think they're like, Fluckus has been calling us Muppets. We're
00:04:54.640going to show them how powerful we are and how strong our messaging is and how little it affects
00:04:58.920us. We're going to literally lead with the Muppets and have them sing about January 6th
00:05:03.500just to make me go, what? Look, they're doing it right in front of us. They're admitting it.
00:05:07.240So it's a Fluckus Truman show type. It's a shot across the bow.
00:05:10.580Yeah. Where they're just everyone's all the TVs talk about you. Everybody who you know is on the
00:05:14.740TVs. Yeah, it really is. It's just like another it's just a bold move. It's a confident move.
00:05:19.940It's another simulation proof as well. It's like a dark timeline humiliation ritual simulation proof.
00:05:26.840And it makes me think that there's another timeline out there where a different Fluckus
00:05:31.320is living a way better life. Trump won. Crypto kept ripping. He probably has a house that has a
00:05:39.020rental property attached to it. There's another timeline where Fluckus is doing way better,
00:05:45.380not trying to sell his Bronco on his podcast. And he's also probably ripping Diet Cokes. The other
00:05:49.760alternate timeline, Fluckus is probably ripping Diet Cokes still. So
00:05:53.220we're going to continue to rip Diet Cokes. Guys, it's something that's been happening behind the
00:05:59.280scenes here at the show. I know I've been saying I don't drink Diet Cokes anymore, but
00:06:02.840unfortunately, I have been behind the scenes. You've been lying. I've been lying. It's something I feel
00:06:08.540shame about. I apologize. The truth is I never stopped ripping Diet Cokes. Cheers. Moving on.
00:06:15.580Let's get more serious. What is the reason we don't eat whales again?
00:06:20.900I don't know. I think endangered. Too few of them. Too much fishing pressure. Too easy.
00:06:26.720So not too easy. See, that's where you lose me. No one's denying that they don't taste good,
00:06:31.440right? Yeah. I think the Inuits still eat whale like in a ceremonial way and they still get a lot
00:06:37.320of their calories from whale. Yeah. I feel like that salty, salty fat. It's like, you know,
00:06:41.480the inside of a ribeye, like that fatty middle. Yeah. The core, that little fat core between the
00:06:46.520ribeye cap and the rest of the. Exactly. I feel like that's what whale meat probably is. That's
00:06:52.300yummy, yummy stuff. Do you eat that part? I don't eat that part. I cut around that part. I eat that
00:06:57.180part and that's yummy, yummy, salty, salty fat. So I'm just wondering. You eat it with meat, right?
00:07:02.160You're not just eating like scooping the fat. Yeah. I divvy it up into bites. Okay. So there's a
00:07:07.320little bit of fat piece on every, but I was just thinking the other day, like whales are so big,
00:07:11.300they're easy to catch. Like a feed of town. Why aren't we just harpooning these things and serving
00:07:16.960them up? Yeah. So, I mean, so none of the, the whale stuff matters to you, like the previous whale
00:07:22.780stuff. Yeah. Endangered. Well, I mean, I feel like all the, the Asian people are the ones killing them
00:07:28.360all. Chinese fishermen, unscrupulous Chinese fishermen. I agree. There may have been a time when we were
00:07:35.180overfishing or whatever. I don't even know. We're using the blubber for candles. Yeah. I think it was
00:07:40.040a lamp. It was like lamp oil. So lantern oil. And that's when we really did them in. It's just one
00:07:45.320of those things you need to revisit over time and kind of like retest society and see where everyone's
00:07:50.940at. I think if you had a whale burger or some sort of whale steak, it would be better received
00:07:57.440than people think. It's not a huge deal. It's what we talked about in housekeeping. Okay. Let's get
00:08:01.340into some of the things that are a huge deal. This week's pride review. We had our boy Aldo out in
00:08:07.580LA getting some stuff. The gays have really been bringing it. It's accelerating every year. And
00:08:14.360you'd think they would kind of chill out because America is so divided right now. Things are kind
00:08:18.660of heated. We're probably more politically divided than we've been in a long time. Every year it's been
00:08:23.120getting worse and worse. So you think maybe they would chill out and maybe take some of the attention
00:08:26.900off of themselves? No. No. Double down, triple down, all in. Foot is on the pedal as hard as they
00:08:32.940can. They are all in 100%. Listen to what this, I don't know, drag queen, giant fat gay guy said on
00:08:41.200this float. Check out what he's saying.
00:08:43.240Celebrating yourselves. Celebrating your friends. My mother, my brother, and sister. We are here and we are everywhere. Love each other. Love yourselves. Hi! You are here and protesting and making a statement for those who do not have the opportunity to be proud of who they are.
00:09:04.420So for those who don't have the opportunity to be proud of who they are, so they're making it seem like the gays are oppressed and like this is like a big event to like stop the oppression, stand up to the oppression. You're oppressed. You're on an Astroglide float in the middle of town with gay naked people in thongs dancing in front of children yelling into a megaphone and the entire city shut down the blocks and blocks of streets for you.
00:09:32.740There's like 150 cops on duty on this. The whole city shut down. It's sponsored by YouTube, Amazon, Citibank, every... Lockheed. Lockheed Martin, every corporation, every store in town. You guys are the oppressed ones? I just don't understand that. It's like you're yelling into the thing, oh, we need to like stand up and like stand up for people who don't have a voice. It's like, guys, I think you got back to square one even status. And if anything, I think you've taken a little much.
00:10:02.000You've seen what they're doing in the schools. I think you are. I think you got this.
00:10:06.580Yeah. So, I mean, they shut down the entire city for this.
00:10:09.680But that's the angle. That's what motivates people. That's what makes them feel good, right?
00:10:13.300Like, I'm oppressed. I need to keep fighting even though like I'm on the corporate float. How much does that float cost? What is that thing?
00:10:20.720Yeah. You're in truck. You're entirely on offense.
00:10:24.000There's no resistance to this. Try having a Trump rally on Hollywood Boulevard. See how that goes.
00:10:30.480Yeah. And then check out this next clip. Kid forced to watch gay twerking.
00:10:34.180This one was probably the most damning.
00:15:09.760It's, it's, the drag queen is, like, a big, fat gay guy, looks like me, in high heels, caked on makeup and a wig, fake boobs, lip syncing like a Whitney Houston song.
00:15:29.760It's just, like, average, below average, in my mind.
00:15:33.100But it's just, like, an average person going up there and lip syncing a Whitney Houston song in, like, a over-the-top woman's outfit, gigantic, fat gay guy.
00:15:44.480So it's not even, it's not even like, oh, you know, it's the arts and people need to see this, and if you're missing out, if you don't partake, there is really no upside here.
00:15:53.060It's not even like it's that good a content.
00:16:39.200It's actually funny with all the gay stuff, because when I first moved to L.A., like, I wasn't too familiar with Pride or whatever and the gay community in general.
00:33:15.600I think it's the same thing for the trans community.
00:33:18.180Like this person is getting harassed because they're saying they're transgender, but they're not.
00:33:22.320But that's still going to get tallied up in the harassment for trans people.
00:33:26.860And they're going to pad their numbers with engagements like this.
00:33:29.800And you look at the stats, each one individually, and it's like 90% of the trans transgressions are against people who are like doing bits.
00:35:31.800They have model pictures, but that's, you know, you've ordered a model picture chair and then it's like, oh my gosh, it's actually four inches.
00:35:37.560I didn't read the four inches and it's a play toy chair or something.
00:35:59.980So, you think it's an attention thing or what?
00:36:01.380I just think people, there's like a new standard now where like TikTok and Instagram and everything is just like a place to show pictures of yourself as naked as you can get without getting thrown off the app.
00:37:04.520You know, kids that when they were younger, like back in the day, they'd get like the bathing suit catalog and they'd be like, it's like a light version of like a Playboy.
00:37:49.680The kids in our lives are probably getting some sort of progressive summer reading list that isn't going to teach them the lessons that they need to learn.
00:37:56.360And that's why our friends over at Brave Books have created the Treasure Chest.
00:38:00.880It's a collection of books, puzzles, games, swag, merch, very cool things that the young people in your lives will love.
00:38:16.020They also have a subscription service.
00:38:17.900So, if you guys want to get a new book every month, I highly recommend the subscription service.
00:38:22.240They just released The Plot Against the King, the story of how Hillary Clinton and company tried to steal the election from President Trump, and Un-Muzzle Me Please, a book by our friend D.C. Drano that highlights the importance of free speech.
00:38:59.400Moving on, which takes us to Urban Decay, something even more depressing.
00:39:05.280First story in Urban Decay, a security company had two of their squad cars stolen, and then those squad cars were being used to commit crimes in town.
00:39:14.920If they stole a police car, a fire truck, or what have you, they don't have nothing to lose.
00:39:33.700And just this week, a second Crown Vic, this one marked with their company logo, ripped off right from their lot in Tukwila.
00:39:41.540Because they are committing crimes in our vehicle, we don't want our clients or anyone else to assume that our security officers are out there committing crimes.
00:39:51.580Yes, they say this man is caught on camera.
00:39:54.040And imagine you come from the past, and you zap forward in time to 2022, and you get there, and the kids are tipping drag queens in the public on the streets, and then the security company's cars are committing crimes.
00:48:05.480According to this article in the Chronicle, downtown San Francisco is teetering on the edge and city officials have yet to come up with a plan to make the fundamental changes that some economists and business leaders argue could make the area thrive again.
00:48:16.800And so she continues with some additional stats, sales tax revenue down 40 percent, worker return rate 26 percent, expected worker return rate long term 50 percent.
00:48:27.800And basically she just gives a big forewarning on like blight and like urban decay and what San Francisco is facing.
00:48:34.800If companies continues to leave, the tax base continues to dwindle and then you're left bag holding just a city of homeless tent people with no money.
00:48:44.740So obviously that's a long and winding road downward.
00:48:47.700It's like a great reset for the city where you basically go all the way back to zero.
00:48:52.800You start over with whoever lives on the streets and no companies and no businesses.
00:48:57.880And it's a great reset that goes back to zero.
00:49:00.340And so I was reading this thread and I thought it was extremely interesting because this is like from a San Francisco resident who's kind of like, you know, a left leaning, like a do well, do good citizen.
00:53:25.660And I actually also like, I think it's particularly uplifting gold when a kid is saying like a swear word or a phrase that, you know, came exactly from their dad.
