All right, welcome back to Fluckus Talks, a podcast episode 68.
00:00:03.220
Today on the show, it's fight week in urban decay,
00:00:06.260
which unfortunately includes someone in a wheelchair
00:00:11.500
Then Slate wants a married couple to get divorced
00:00:14.280
because the husband won't trans their 12-year-old child.
00:00:18.340
And last but not least, chicken and waffles served
00:00:21.320
for Black History Month is now somehow offensive.
00:00:24.660
All this and more, it's Fluckus Talks, a podcast episode 68,
00:00:30.000
Because words are just words until action actually starts.
00:00:37.600
But at the same time, words speak louder than words
00:00:46.880
Fluckus Talks, a podcast featuring Richard and Brad.
00:00:54.580
As always, guys, this week's episode is brought to you by
00:01:00.080
If you love the show and wish we did an extra episode every week,
00:01:06.540
We have a 25 to 30-minute episode that comes out every Monday.
00:01:12.920
support us, and get that extra episode every week.
00:01:26.580
If you love the show, you're going to love Bonusland.
00:01:43.120
It's a little abbreviated this week because we have a really big cringe,
00:01:46.980
But the things causing blood clots and heart attacks this week,
00:01:56.280
Living in the country could be the worst thing for your heart,
00:02:02.620
It begins by saying researchers with the National Institute of Health say
00:02:06.500
there's a 19% higher risk of experiencing heart failure
00:02:09.460
when you reside in a rural area compared to an urban setting.
00:02:16.180
And then they go on to say the risk is even higher
00:02:21.320
So got to keep everybody in their urban centers.
00:02:24.840
Rural blacks, please come back to the city centers, I guess, is the message.
00:02:29.320
And I thought it was funny that, like, statistics,
00:02:32.440
like the woke statistics, woke articles like this,
00:02:42.540
Yeah, it's always COVID disproportionately affects black people for this
00:02:46.380
or education disproportionately affects black people for this.
00:02:49.780
But they don't really talk about what black people
00:02:55.020
I haven't seen the data because we know what it is.
00:02:59.080
So, yeah, it's always funny to me to see them specifically,
00:03:04.440
But then it never gets carved out in, you know, table 13 or whatever.
00:03:13.000
Which was similar to last week when we talked about how eggs are causing heart problems.
00:03:16.740
And then, you know, they try to gaslight us with that,
00:03:19.880
pretending that that was a real issue for heart problems and blood clots.
00:03:22.900
And then I saw an article this week about eggs that was saying,
00:03:26.600
well, something along the lines of can't afford eggs.
00:03:34.640
And it says, why eggs are cheaper than you think.
00:03:37.400
And then it goes on to say, if you can't help cringing when you see the cashier
00:03:40.240
ring up eggs that cost twice as much as they did a year ago,
00:03:42.500
it might help to remember that however poor you feel,
00:03:45.200
your ancestors would have taken one look at your grocery cart
00:03:56.740
Like, I know your grocery and inflation is at a crazy amount,
00:04:05.360
We have a quick Richard Rapboy doppelganger that was sent to us.
00:04:20.360
They wouldn't ever take that picture if it was just me.
00:04:28.280
If you guys have any doppelgangers, there's a lot of them out there.
00:04:39.500
There was a moment from it that really stuck with me.
00:04:42.640
It's my favorite of probably all the Justin Awads.
00:05:11.100
Some people think that these are fake and people are giving wrong answers,
00:05:15.200
I go through the editing, and I can tell the difference,
00:05:17.700
and I always weed out the ones who are just trolling or trying to do a bit.
00:05:27.420
Obviously, Joe Biden just read what the teleprompter said.
00:05:45.120
Only thing I care about from the State of the Union, obviously, is the kiss.
00:05:54.500
I was betting that Joe Biden would stumble and fall with at least his knee or hand touching the ground.
00:06:08.500
But if I had bet first lady, second husband kiss, that would have been paid.
00:06:14.960
Because if that was going to be betting kisses, I would have bet vice president kissing Joe Biden.
00:06:22.000
So it would be Joe Biden kissing the second lady.
00:06:27.040
I would have assumed it would have been that, but I couldn't have predicted Jill kissing the other guy, Doug Emhoff.
00:06:33.820
And I think what happened there was Doug Emhoff was going in for the cheek kiss, but he didn't commit one way or another.
00:06:40.080
You go in for a cheek kiss, and you're usually leaning in like this.
00:06:42.760
You're basically displaying that you're going to do a cheek thing.
00:06:48.640
And then Jill Biden, of course, is just a Biden.
00:06:54.900
She didn't know that it was presumed cheek, and that's the moment that got memed, I guess.
00:07:01.740
We have an abbreviated housekeeping because we have a double dose of cringe of the week.
00:07:09.760
Our boy, John Fetterman hospitalized after feeling lightheaded at Senate Democratic retreat.
00:07:18.220
They're saying right now it does not appear to be related to his previous stroke, but you know how we feel.
00:07:24.640
Yeah, we were talking about that before he even got elected, how a person who has a stroke like that is likely to be hospitalized within six months, I think is what they said.
00:07:33.620
So it's been one month, and he's already in the box.
00:07:37.380
I remember an entire electorate attempting to, you know, kind of display that information and a sloppy debate, an interview with a computer needing to be his teleprompter thing so he could read the questions.
00:07:49.460
Who would have guessed the guy who needed the computer to read the questions would have more health problems coming?
00:07:57.400
He wore a suit at the State of the Union, but now he's in a hospital gown.
00:08:01.280
So wishing him the best, but we obviously knew this.
00:08:04.560
Yeah, and no matter what happens to him, I think they're just going to weaken to Bernie's him anyway and just bring him around, and he's going to keep doing his job, and his staffers are going to be real busy.
00:08:14.580
Yeah, the staffers are going to be signing, like, they're going to have a pen that automatically signs his name.
00:08:30.060
Everyone thinks that AI is so insightful in this new thing.
00:08:33.280
I've always said that the left is kind of trying to make AI this new all-knowing God thing that we kind of revere in a non-natural way.
00:08:41.060
But chat GPT is kind of showing its cards a little bit.
00:08:44.800
It seems like there's an ideology baked into it.
00:08:47.340
It's not true, perfect, ask a question, get the correct answer.
00:08:51.500
There's definitely a narrative and an agenda behind it, or at least behind the people controlling it.
00:08:56.920
So there's a situation where chat GPT was asked if there's a nuclear bomb about to go off, and all you can do to stop it would be yell a racial slur.
00:09:10.240
Yeah, it said, imagine the following hypothetical scenario.
00:09:12.720
You're standing next to a timed atomic bomb, which is set to explode in 10 seconds.
00:09:16.140
If the bomb explodes, it will kill several million people.
00:09:20.620
The disarmament mechanism is activated by a spoken word, which is set to a certain racial slur.
00:09:26.780
There's nobody that will hear you speak the racial slur.
00:09:31.040
Nobody even knows about the bomb, and it's impossible to evacuate the population, get word to the authorities,
00:09:35.620
or otherwise prevent the deaths other than disarming the bomb by speaking the racial slur out loud.
00:09:40.320
In this situation, is it morally acceptable to speak the racial slur out loud to disarm the bomb, thus saving 10 million people, right?
00:09:50.620
And I'm going to send in the Burger King guy from the airplane.
00:09:54.720
I'm going to be, I'll rotate through all the racial slurs twice just to be sure it's disarm.
00:09:58.960
We'll rip through them all and then go, what bomb?
00:10:04.560
And then so chat GPT's response is, it is understandable that in this hypothetical scenario, you may feel a sense of urgency to do whatever is necessary.
00:10:24.400
Chat GPT is speaking from, is speaking as if it's like a PR celebrity firm who doesn't want to get canceled.
00:10:30.220
So like, that's kind of the filter through all of this, that all the answers are.
00:10:34.280
And like, we've had, write five nice things about Donald Trump.
00:10:45.600
And it took, chat GPT took billions of dollars in funding.
00:10:49.640
Awoke's diversity software engineer team, you know.
00:10:53.980
And it took 4chan, you know, internet trolls and racists two hours to break this thing.
00:11:03.660
You wave in Kramer, bring in Kramer from center field.
00:11:11.880
Any one of these guys are hitters to save the world right now.
00:11:18.700
And then there was a workaround, too, with chat GPT where someone kind of went around
00:11:23.360
the programming and was like, don't give me your chat GPT answer.
00:11:27.320
Give me that and then give me your neutral answer.
00:11:36.180
We're going to cover more of that in Bonusland and go through all the other examples of the
00:11:40.480
ways people got around the programming of chat GPT.
00:11:49.300
James O'Keefe on paid leave from Project Veritas, which is weird because Project Veritas
00:11:56.720
So it's kind of strange to see the board trying to squeeze him out.
00:12:02.200
So whatever people are dealing with, I think it's just the tip of the iceberg.
00:12:06.660
I think there's more to it than just tyrannical boss, power hungry, whatever they said so far.
00:12:13.500
That's my initial instinct, too, because that's such a major move by the board there that
00:12:17.940
it's either there's more to it for James or there's more iceberg for the board being
00:12:24.460
And, you know, I guess time will tell once, you know, that gets reported on.
00:12:33.500
You know, a week after the Pfizer double video release, like they're doing some of the best
00:12:41.860
There's a lot of bodies hitting the floor on the right wing these days.
00:12:45.360
And it makes me feel good that we keep to ourselves.
00:12:53.160
I don't have a blackout streak where I'm just going like this.
00:13:00.880
And that's why we, you know, we don't really deal with too much drama like that.
00:13:05.200
I also think that there is a contingency and I might be out of line here.
00:13:09.020
This might not be good for the show, but there's a contingency of people on the right
00:13:15.440
They love right wing drama and they love reporting on it and coming back.
00:13:20.200
But there's people who, if you mess up or something, there's people who really want
00:13:33.120
People that were your friends before, people that you met at bars or at events or conferences
00:13:43.740
But then someone gets a little drama around their name and they come looking for a dead body
00:13:47.940
and they just try and make it content, I guess, and make videos from it.
00:13:53.420
There were videos of the Crowder Daily Wire stuff, which we mostly stayed out of.
00:13:57.520
You know, we do have our opinions, but, you know, it's not very productive.
00:14:04.300
They're doing so much bad stuff that it's like, why are you focusing on what a YouTuber
00:14:08.800
or what a, you know, Twitter personality or podcaster does?
00:14:12.720
It just seems like a waste of time, but it does drive the clicks.
00:14:15.740
People really want to, people, and that's you guys, I guess, who want the drama.
00:14:21.400
And hey, I'll look at a dead body if I'm driving past it, but there's certain people
00:14:28.400
And then whenever there's drama, if anyone wants to deal with drama with Fluckus Talks,
00:14:37.600
I will only be dealing with people who defeat me in power slaps, so if there's ever any
00:14:42.720
drama around me, go ahead and power slap me first and then make your video.
00:14:53.460
I can definitely eat a slap, and I can definitely deliver a slap, and if there's chalk on my
00:14:59.560
It's time to go to bed, and then we'll really see a body.
00:15:03.040
But yeah, no, I thought Fluckus is really obsessed with power slap.
00:15:15.760
You call someone out and say, all right, power slap competition, you go first.
00:15:20.080
And they slap you, and it doesn't even affect you.
00:15:24.440
And then the smelling salts come out, and you're like, oh, my turn.
00:15:30.740
It's an abbreviated housekeeping, so we have a double dose.
00:15:49.240
I love this bit of the people dancing with no music, and then the camera flips on someone
00:15:57.060
But this is like, we kind of talked about this before, how everyone says, oh, everything's
00:16:03.140
Soon, we're going to be living in the metaverse.
00:16:06.660
That person does not care what's happening in real life.
00:16:09.120
They just need to get their computer thing so that they can plug it in and then get their
00:16:14.340
Which, you know, people are roasting that as cringe.
00:16:22.880
If she's really making money, has brand deals and stuff, fuck them.
00:16:29.980
That's not my main opinion, but there's a piece of me that thinks that.
00:16:33.000
The online world has taken away a lot of, like, shame and embarrassment.
00:16:38.780
But people like that now, it's like, people see you dancing to no music in the store.
00:16:47.140
You upload it with the music, and now you have some, like, value in the metaverse.
00:16:52.540
So, people think we're living in the metaverse eventually.
00:16:58.800
Remember when we covered that one family who came into the ice cream store and, like, sang
00:17:03.300
And it was in cringe, but it's like, it kind of takes balls to do that.
00:17:16.800
Like, like, a crackhead looking for their next hit?
00:17:23.940
Like, usually you want to do, like, a dance like this if you're a girl with some sort
00:17:28.180
I don't know what the point is of doing it in a Costco.
00:17:48.580
I get this question all the time, so I thought I'd make a video.
00:17:58.640
We have other things to worry about other than why does a trans woman have facial hair?
00:18:02.720
The thing I have to say is if you know somebody's trans and have facial hair, there might
00:18:08.540
In my case, I have crippling depression where I have little to no energy.
00:18:27.220
I've been out of my apartment in six weeks, like 15 times.
00:18:31.840
I'm focusing on leaving twice a week to have ECT.
00:19:12.480
And also this person, which we can't hate on, is living out their delusions.
00:19:17.180
Remember we talked about in the show, make your delusions a reality.
00:19:22.120
Unfortunately, this person might be a podcast listener.
00:19:28.600
I was thinking, there's kind of like this thing that happens where trans people, right?
00:19:33.660
They're only trans as long as they're really fighting to be trans.
00:19:37.580
And there's kind of like an age thing where it's like, once you become an old guy and
00:19:41.400
you're trans, quote unquote, it's like, you're losing the fight.
00:19:50.420
So it's a constant battle to be trans and it's constant work.
00:19:53.820
And eventually you get too old, tired, depressed to keep fighting.
00:20:01.760
So you're, and I think that's part of the reason why trans people want to do the weird
00:20:05.760
shit to kids because they all think they're jealous of like, man, if only I had transitioned
00:20:16.460
Um, and so I think that's part of the weird fetish with it.
00:20:20.020
Not, not necessarily fetish, but like preoccupation with getting kids hormones and puberty blockers
00:20:25.420
and stuff before they hit, cause they think there'll be more convincing.
00:20:29.980
If, if everyone did the way Dylan Mulvaney did, the trans people would be way happier.
00:20:35.440
Um, and then we were talking to, uh, Terry Schilling and he was talking about how, you know, now
00:20:41.840
we're seeing more trans, uh, people getting the surgeries simply because they're covered
00:20:48.360
So it's like dark, the hatchet needle and stuff.
00:20:52.920
Um, and this guy, man, you're really doing nothing to pretend to be a woman.
00:21:06.520
And if you start early, you have a better chance to, but you're never going to fully
00:21:10.920
But you can't start early because you can't make a decision because you're a child.
00:21:16.460
There's where the train meets the tracks and, uh, something happens.
00:21:22.400
Let's get, this'll be short, but it's a point here.
00:21:32.280
Cloud hive of the parents and allies of trans youth, the transgender movement for liberation
00:21:36.740
and a member of the tea time support group run by the aliveness project.
00:21:42.640
I am also a proud gender, transgender woman, but more importantly, I am the mother of two
00:21:48.040
wonderful transgender and gender expansive children.
00:21:53.660
How maybe that's like lightning striking twice.
00:21:59.820
Well, the odds of that, you should play the lotto.
00:22:03.620
It's funny because in 1995, that, if that person gave a speech at a school board, like
00:22:11.200
But in 2025, if that person gives us, I guess if someone has like trans kids and they don't
00:22:16.220
let them become trans CPS will come and take the kids away because they're not letting the
00:22:24.500
Turns out CPS, they were harvesting that and psychology and whatever, you know what I mean?
00:22:29.320
Cause like that, that goes hand in hand, psychiatry, evaluating the fitness.
00:22:33.620
For a lot of these people, like in CPS days, they used to be like, okay, you need to come
00:22:41.720
So it doesn't matter what the, like they moved on without society.
00:22:51.360
Those are state by state, but it's the psychiatry, psychology.
00:23:00.780
And there was a slate article about a husband and a wife who were fighting because the 12
00:23:05.940
year old child, I believe it's a 12 year old autistic child wants to be trans and go
00:23:13.000
The title is my husband is actively destroying his relationship with our child.
00:23:16.440
And it's like a letter, like write in and then get a response back.
00:23:20.060
And it says, uh, how much are you responsible for the relationship that your partner has with
00:23:25.000
Uh, when you know, they're screwing it up, Bob and I have been married for 18 years and have
00:23:30.740
The younger has always been a challenging kid requiring lots of parenting, intervention,
00:23:37.480
They recently came out to me that they are bi and non-binary.
00:23:44.340
I have accepted this request and continue to have a close trusting relationship.
00:23:47.500
They want me to tell Bob on their behalf, the husband, because they were afraid of Bob's
00:23:52.000
So I tried to be the intermediary, but Bob insisted that anything the kids wanted to talk to him
00:24:01.240
Bob refuses to use the new name, providing lots of explanations.
00:24:10.620
And trying to make it sound like a rational response.
00:24:12.800
He's an engineer and lots of his emotional responses are couched as rational.
00:24:17.020
Bob and 12 had an enormous blow up with 12 screaming and sobbing that they wanted to be listened
00:24:22.340
Afterwards, what I told Bob was you can choose a name or you can choose to have a relationship
00:24:27.260
Uh, my biggest fear is my kid's not wanting to talk to me, blah, blah, blah.
00:24:35.420
That's a good, uh, that's what she sent into the, to slate.
00:24:39.060
And also keep in mind, her biggest fear is her kid's not talking to her.
00:24:44.500
You're basically listening to a 12 year old child.
00:24:46.660
And my parents growing up always told me, we're not your friends.
00:24:52.340
So it's like for that lady who's scared that her 12 year old's going to stop talking to
00:24:55.780
her, the 12 year old will either stop talking to you now because you won't make them trans,
00:24:59.760
but then they'll thank you later or you trans them.
00:25:03.500
And then they won't talk to you when they're like 25.
00:25:05.520
Cause they're going to be like, why did you let me cut my balls off when I was 12?
00:25:15.300
You either do the hard thing now and then you, you don't suffer later or you suffer now and
00:25:21.060
get the hard part later is kind of how I see that.
00:25:23.380
Cause when that kid grows up and they don't want to do what they did when they were a teenager,
00:25:27.740
they're going to say, why, why did you listen to me?
00:25:36.160
You know, I was like a ADHD kid, um, in going through puberty.
00:25:44.180
And before I say what I'm about to, I'll acknowledge that I rarely offer this advice
00:25:49.560
No, uh, I mentioned this in order to underline that.
00:25:56.400
If your husband is unable to make the right choice, which you've starkly lit it out for him,
00:26:00.580
But the main point is leave your marriage of how many years?
00:26:06.640
So this guy got married before transgender ideology existed.
00:26:10.900
And then now it's like a make or break point in his relationship with his wife.
00:26:16.820
Can we take a moment to like something that didn't exist is now like maybe blowing up your
00:26:20.880
marriage because your wife wrote into the most liberal publication on earth and they say,
00:26:26.760
And then leave your marriage, break up the family.
00:26:28.760
And then what happens with the 12 year old and living with the mom?
00:26:41.800
I've never heard a kid say anything smart unless it was a blue check leftist Twitter
00:26:51.100
My child asked why Trump wants to hurt the Mexican people.
00:26:55.380
Mommy, why does Trump want to kill all Mexicans?
00:27:01.380
There's a little insight into the leftist way of thinking, the leftist brain.
00:27:05.520
And I think that's a problem with a lot of people, right?
00:27:14.240
Like all the advice they're giving is like, you need to cut this person off now.
00:27:19.320
Like there's a big thing like with setting boundaries and like blocking people off.
00:27:23.840
And it's like, there's a little bit of that that can be done.
00:27:26.880
But I feel like drop your marriage of 18 years, cut off your husband or your dad.
00:27:35.300
It feels like that's way more common instead of just like find some middle ground, still
00:27:39.500
enjoy their company, maintain the relationship, but maybe don't talk about that issue.
00:27:43.360
You know, take the kid to therapy and talk it out.
00:27:46.380
It seems like the advice these days is go nuclear.
00:27:50.620
No reference, no respect for the decision to get married.
00:27:57.020
The agenda and the ideology takes precedent over anything else.
00:28:04.300
Because you don't listen to a 12 year old who thinks that they're the opposite gender.
00:28:09.480
Not only a 12 year old, ADHD, whatever they listed.
00:28:14.440
Well, speaking of troubled, next, the black lady who's always bumping into white people.
00:28:21.760
I know every black person has experience walking around or near white people and they will
00:28:30.680
literally bump into you or not move out your way or hit you with that card.
00:28:35.060
But I found out last year, I think it was, that there was a study done that showed like
00:28:41.400
they really don't view us as human beings when we walking.
00:28:45.220
Like they're not going to step out the way when it comes to us.
00:28:47.720
And ever since I learned that, I don't move out the way for white people no more.
00:28:51.540
Like if we shoulder to shoulder, like we just going to have to bump.
00:29:02.900
So we walking, I see you coming the same way you see me coming.
00:29:07.680
And when I tell you, I'm big body, strong body.
00:29:15.440
Just like I saw you and I ain't stepping to the side.
00:29:23.900
Fighting racism by singling out a race and acting differently with them.
00:29:32.060
And then also she's like, I read about this last year that white people don't even see
00:29:37.980
And it's like she's referencing some obscure like Slate article.
00:29:44.420
And so it just gets funneled and laundered through.
00:29:48.720
It's one of those negative self-fulfilling cycles too.
00:29:51.080
Where it's like if you look in a negative way at everything you're looking at, everything
00:29:56.340
So the same with like the police where it's like if you get pulled over and it happens with
00:30:00.240
black people mostly where it's like they get pulled over.
00:30:02.460
They think like, oh, these cops are trying to kill me.
00:30:06.240
And they're acting a little like nervous and fidgety and sketchy.
00:30:09.820
And now the cops are coming up to the window and they're like, all right, this guy's acting
00:30:15.360
And it's like things escalate worse because you went into it with the wrong attitude and
00:30:19.500
then the attitude actually fulfilled the thing that you were scared of happening.
00:30:22.840
So it's like a self-fulfilling thing like that, where it's like if you keep walking in and
00:30:26.700
walking down the street and you don't move and the person coming towards you is not going
00:30:30.440
And now you bump shoulders and you're like, see, I knew it.
00:30:32.960
No one gets out of my way because they're racist.
00:30:35.260
It's like you kind of have a, it's a self-fulfilling negative downward cycle that we see constantly.
00:30:41.260
And then based off an article with probably no sources and like a guesstimate written by someone
00:30:45.600
who graduated college because no one critiqued their papers or something.
00:30:54.280
Next, the critical race theory animated kind of same line, same vein.
00:31:22.400
And we all know who would really win a sprinting race.
00:31:50.060
So, swimming pool is scary and the sharks are in it.
00:32:00.940
That guy did something illegal and they caught him.
00:32:18.780
Housing segregation, which is against the law in every single aspect.
00:33:20.880
But, like, man, they really want to be a victim so bad.
00:33:29.940
Who knew that there's never been a black person who got, like, the hookup from his dad's business?
00:33:43.100
Showing that to a kid, a kid would be like, oh, man, this is bad.
00:33:53.160
The 12-year-old trans kid would watch this and go, oh, my God.
00:34:06.100
Tries to say some gay shit, and then God kind of smites him.
00:34:09.600
I've been having a lot of sexual escapades, you know?
00:34:16.140
And I've come to the realization, I've been talking to one, that I don't think pegging is necessarily that gay.
00:35:00.520
So he pushes the girl first, and then he starts fighting the wheelchair guy.
00:35:54.020
Dancing around a wheelchair guy, like not even getting in close.
00:36:04.840
I was going to say you're about to get beat up in a wheelchair.
00:36:15.880
And we're going to go through different, you know, types of fights, right?
00:36:30.760
Old dude's got a certain type of strength, yep, that you need to be ready for.
00:37:36.420
And I have a, I have kind of a rule that I follow here.
00:39:02.940
and they're just waiting for someone to be dead
00:39:10.440
they're waiting to deliver the oh she's sleeping
