So, we're supposed to start the podcast. Ready? One, two, three. Patriots, gatriots, theatriots, black triots, brown triots, we love you and all of the triple trumping fascists can do what?
All right, pimps. What have you had it with? Okay. What I've had it with, and I just find it so offensive in every way, is when you go into a restroom at a public place and you sit down, and the last person there used the last of the toilet paper and made no moves to restock it for the next person.
So, this just happened to me. I sit down at the vet's office, waiting on my dog getting an X-ray, and I sit down to pee, and there is no toilet paper. I've already peed at this point. Okay, so I'm sitting there. I have no, I have nothing I can do. So I shake, shake, shake, and then there's a cabinet, but I have to get up off the toilet, waddle over there with my pants down, grab the toilet paper, and wipe.
And here's the thing. I expect this kind of rude ass [ __ ] at my house from my kids. They have done that to me for years until my head spun off, and now they're better about it. But I have gone into so many bathrooms and found that there, I was the last person to use the toilet paper. I have either restocked or told the person at the front, "We need more toilet paper in the bathroom." And I just think it's rude, and I've had it. And I don't know if it's personal to me, but this is the second time this has happened to me at the vet's office.
Oh, wait. You just said you didn't know if this was personal to you. As though there was a conspiracy at the vet office. She's coming in again.
Let's remove the toilet paper from the bathroom.
I can't rule it out, Jennifer.
I can't.
I mean, you know what? Here's the thing. You know, you see Candace Owens and all these people with all these crazy conspiracy theories, and now I see, like, is this a coping mechanism to get through all this fascism and war crimes? Because it's kind of fun, right? It's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like, here's this crazy conspiracy theory, and you go down this rabbit hole as a means to avoid reality.
And so I, I'm with you. I think the veterinarian office is trying to [ __ ] you over and um, make sure, trying to prevent you from uh, vaginal hygiene.
Which I know you value.
Um, I, yes. And I would say that not only is this a problem, the toilet paper issue, just the general [ __ ] of people in public restrooms. Leave the stall the way you would like to receive it. If you accidentally drop a little square of toilet paper on the floor, go ahead and pick it up, stick it in the toilet when you flush it down. Make sure you flush it down. If you're a hover and not a, like I hover, I do a squat and then do a five, six, seven, eight as I pee. It's like two birds, one stone, right? I'm getting a great glute quad workout. I'm not getting germs on my ass. But sometimes I have a little splatter on the seat. After I wipe, then I get the toilet paper and I wipe down the entire seat so the next person can come in. And time and time again, I am cleaning up. There's [ __ ] on the floor, toilet paper on the floor, uh, you know, some sort of trash on the floor. I'm like, well, if this person isn't going to do it, at least I'm going to have to do it. I'm going to take it over the finish line.
Another thing that I've started doing as well that really irritates me. When you wash your hands in a commercial restroom, the water pressure is very strong, which I appreciate because you want to blast off the germs, but there's a lot of splatter on the countertop.
Yes. So, I propose if you're in a restroom that has paper towels, not just the hand dryers, go ahead and dry your hands and then get a couple additional paper towels, go back to your sink, wipe down the station because the next person coming up might want to put their purse down and they don't want to put it down in all of this water. These are things that if we didn't have um a [ __ ] as president, we could really go to Congress and say, "These are some suggestions that we have to make this country more peaceful and uh workable."
But I also want to say this, something in your genre of grievance today. I've had it with the paper towel dispensers that are censored. And it's like, you're trying to find the right spot to get it to come out, and then finally it comes out, and it's about six inches.
Six inches. It's not enough. It needs to be, I would say, a solid twelve inches.
You know, paper towel that comes out because you can do it, but I'm having to get like three different times.
Yeah, it's a real problem. And have you had that when you're trying to do the sensor and they kind of have there's a waiting period?
Like you have to, and I'm just like, are you [ __ ] kidding me? I'm trying to wipe my hands. It's not that hard.
And here's the deal. I think people are so fundamentally rude that they don't give a [ __ ]. But I would rather be the person that comes out of the bathroom that they said, "Oh, she left this in better shape than she found it. Like, she is not a gross person." Because when I go in and I see like tinkle from the squatter that didn't go on the toilet, I think that person is just kind of dirty.
Nasty. They didn't wipe down.
Just a nasty person that just leaves their piss, doesn't flush. Just, I mean, come on, man. We're all, you know, unless it's like a four-year-old or something. It's just unacceptable. And in that case, the mother needs to go in there and clean up after her child.
Okay, I don't have a grievance today as much as I have a shout-out. Okay. So Josh, uh, my husband, listener, is a criminal defense attorney, and he had an issue where he had to call, uh, tribal government in Oklahoma. He had a some sort of case. And so he had to call the, uh, Chickasaw Tribe Prosecutor Office. And his client was sitting there. He goes, "Well, let me just call the Chickasaw Tribe Prosecutor Office." So he calls, and they answer immediately, and they're like, "Hey Josh, how can we help you?" And he kind of thought, "Well, that's weird. It must have been the caller ID." And he's like, "Hey, I have this question. I need help with this, this, this." And she goes, "I'll call, let me get on that. I'll call you right back in 10 minutes." So he's sitting there with a client, and he's like, "She's never going to call me back, or you have to hunt her down in a couple of days." She calls back in 10 minutes and has an answer for him. And then as they go through all of whatever this legal matter was, at the end of it, the lady says, "Tell Jen and Pumps, I love them." And this was Faith at the Chickasaw Tribe Prosecutor's Office in Oklahoma, and they listened to our podcast. So, I want to give a big shout-out to Faith and to everybody at the Chickasaw Tribe, uh, for listening to "I've Had It." I just thought that was really cool.
I think it's really cool. And I mean, I'm just amazed, having worked with Josh before and calling DA's offices and calling prosecutors and municipal, like to call back with an answer within 10 minutes is truly remarkable.
That's what he said. But here's the thing that I have to say. You know, you and I have always been incompetent as a default setting. Crush. The popularity of a podcast is giving us well-undeserved clout. So much so that by proxy, Josh is receiving, you know, returned phone calls within 10 minutes with answers and enthusiasm, just by proxy of two incompetent women that decided, "Let's talk about [ __ ] we hate," and then we start fighting for, you know, human rights. And now Josh is catching these positive strays because of it. It's just really, I thought that was just a really cool for us, for him.
Yes. Uh, in the, I can't do the voice of JD Vance, but has Josh said thank you for all the goodwill that you've gotten him?
Um, you know, he's arriving in New York tomorrow. So I will, uh, get him in a headlock and it's like, "Have you said thank you, [ __ ]? You should thank you."
All right, let's welcome uh Kylie uh to go over our reviews. Kylie.
Okay. Hi. Um, I put together, hi, a slew of one-star reviews for you guys today. This first one took the time to do one stars with a sick face emoji as the title, and then Grateful Missouri Center puts the vomit emoji as their review. I thought that was sweet.
Yeah. And I mean, that's just, you know, for those people that are illiterate, it's emojis offer a great way to communicate. You know, this is a great way for people in Missouri, Josh Hawley's state, um, that, you know, are illiterate. That's emojis offer a way for people to communicate one-star reviews in the MAGA world.
Okay. Okay. And then this next one, one star titled "Shrill and Viet Schlong" writes, "Will make you regret ever giving women the franchise."
What franchise?
I'm not sure what franchise. Ryan, anybody? Viet Schlong. I can tell you one thing about Viet Schlong right now. Was I don't even have to see a picture. Viet Schlong is a teeny weeny. There's just not a. If you have to put how big your schlong is in your bio, it immediately tells me you have issues in the bedroom. Okay. All right. Then this last one is kind of a doozy. Um, one star titled "Privilege and F500 exec" writes, "These women are enormously privileged to sit on their rears from the comfort of home, free to criticize everyone who isn't in lockstep with them. I'd just like to thank the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice over many generations so they can spout their privileged rhetoric, parenthesis, socialist garbage, in the freest nation on God's green earth. God bless America."
The flag. Absolutely. For a second. Okay. Enormously privileged. I would say yes, I am. But I've earned every penny of it. Never asked anybody for money and never sucked a dick for any amount of money that is in my bank account. All earned by me and the privilege that I have. Of course, my white skin helped, uh, me have an easier way than maybe others, but I have always worked my [ __ ] ass off, 50, 60 hours a week nonstop to, uh, provide for myself and for my kids and to never be beholden to my parents or to my, uh, husband ever. So, call that what you want. Um, that's why we both advocate so much for women having their own money. Um, as for you thanking the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice over many generations so they can spout their privileged rhetoric. What I have to say to you, F500 exec, is if you really cared about the troops, you would [ __ ] vote for the troops. Your vote, via Republican vote, you vote for the military-industrial complex. You vote for the bombs. You do not vote for the soldiers. The Republican party allows these soldiers to come back home and gives them a big [ __ ] you. 35% of all homeless people are veterans. Spare me that you give a [ __ ] about veterans. That is one of the biggest Republican lies right there with trickle-down economics and that Lindsey Graham is straight. I mean, I've had it. I'm so tired of Republicans acting like they're so pro-troops. It's such a [ __ ] lie. They treat Republican policies, treat the troops like total [ __ ]. It's disgraceful how they treat veterans. It is disgraceful. They come home with PTSD. They've lost limbs. Just all sorts of issues. And it's just kind of like, "F you." And then Fox News is like, "Yeah, we should probably, uh, kill the homeless." I mean, these people are deranged. I mean, absolutely deranged. But they do it all for Jesus, right? Weird.
And now, a quick message from today's sponsor, the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program. Listener, do you ever wake up in the middle of the night, your dog's like dry heaving or pacing, and then you're on Google and you don't know what is going on?

So, I would like to go over the news. Um, there is this volleyball player, Pumps, and his name is Jordan Lucas, and he's been going viral all week, and he has turned up in my Instagram feed a bunch, and then I like it, and then I get more and more of his content. Number one, he's a fantastic athlete, but his celebrations are just absolute fire. Fire emojis. Okay. Jordan Lucas is a gay college volleyball player, and a TV announcer suggests that gay college athletes should be punched for his antics. And let's go ahead and, uh, watch the video. For those of you on YouTube, you watch it. We can't play the sound because YouTube would pull it, but I will narrate for the listener. Let's play the clip. Okay. So, here he is, and he's going up, he's spiking the ball, and then he does like a head roll afterwards, and here he is. I mean, he's just incredibly athletic, and he does a little sachet shante like, "Yes, queen. [ __ ] you, queen," as he walks off. I love him. I can't get enough of him. This celebration is everything for me. His athleticism and his skill is just 12 out of 10.
So then there is a sports announcer named Charlie Brandy, and he suggested the following. Play the video.
22-21.
I'm amazed Jordan Lucas hasn't been popped by somebody. The antics he's making under the net. It's very distasteful.
Okay. So, you know, as you can see, homophobia and racism is so baked in. And this is why, like, we've got to bring woke back because this is just horrible. And it reminds me of when Laura Ingraham, uh, uh, said to LeBron, "Shut up and dribble." And the just that acceptable amount of racism and dehumanizing. And this guy, in a, in a, in a place where the LGBTQ+ community is under attack relentlessly by MAGA. He suggested he should be punched for his quote-unquote antics. I mean, what he's doing, you guys, is like, yes, and then turn around and walk off after just like stellar athleticism.
Here's the thing. I watch tennis sports, and there are so many, like, post-three-point shot or touchdown, or there are all kinds of, I mean, like hundreds of victory celebrations or, "I did a good job on the play," uh, you know, little memes or actions. This to me, like, number one, it is hard in men's sports to come out and be openly who you are if you are gay because there's still some homophobia baked in. And so good on Jordan, and this broadcaster, in my opinion. Would he say this to Steph Curry? Would he say this to Patrick Mahomes or whomever is doing the stance? No, he wouldn't. And I think he should be absolutely ripped off the air because that is [ __ ]. I cannot stand people like this. Like, he is like the best volleyball player on that team that we're seeing in these clips. And he has the nerve to say that. Go [ __ ] yourself is what I say.
I completely agree. I think that this sort of homophobia, um, racism, bigotry is just the ugliest stuff. And we need to make sports a place where if we give the basic estimate that 10% of the population is gay, that would mean that 10% of athletes are gay, whether it be college, professional, whatever. Sadly, a lot of them feel like they need to stay in the closet because of this hyped-up masculinity surrounding sports. And if you look at the leaders in this, if you look at the WNBA, where women are, uh, a lot, they feel a lot freer to come out of the closet um in that space and are leading the way. And we need to make sure that we are embracing every single athlete, especially, especially a person who comes out of the closet in a space where it is assumed, "Oh, this is a jock space, and you can't be yourself."
So, the announcer, um, has an apology. Pop this up. And it says, "After seeming to suggest the college athlete should be punched in the face, Brandy issued a predictable public apology. I'd like to publicly apologize for my comment on the UC Irvine versus, uh, Sea Sun broadcast Thursday, April 9th. Charlie Brandy said in a comment over the weekend, most importantly, I apologize to Jordan. I wholeheartedly regret my comment toward him. I take full accountability for my comment and the damage it may have caused. Violence should never be acceptable or tolerated. I have spent my life promoting the game of volleyball and regret any harm to the sport or the people that play it. I will learn from this and work to do better." Um, I'm glad he apologized. To me, this is not sufficient that he doesn't address the systemic, uh, uh, baked-in homophobia and that he doesn't make an outreach specifically, uh, to LGBTQ+ athletes and the LGBTQ+ community at large to say, "I understand comments like mine make your community more of a target and make you less safe." And so this apology is insufficient to me because he does not address what he was going at. It was a homophobic, uh, uh, critique of him, and it suggested violence, and so that's just unacceptable.
Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry, Pumps. I was just going to say, he lost me in his apology when he said, "seemingly my comments, seemingly." It's like, there's no seemingly. This is what your comments were. It reminds me of people that say, "Oh, I'm sorry that you're upset by what I did." So, you're not sorry for what you did. You're sorry it upset me. Like, I'm not buying it.
I completely agree. Okay, this next, this next bit is just more than I can take. So, the New York Times does an article where they glaze Lauren Sanchez.
It's gross. And the corporate media's glazing of these oligarchs is such a problem. It is, it is the lowest hanging fruit. It is the most pathetic thing on the planet you could possibly do. Here's the New York Times headline: "Someone Has to Be Happy. Why Not Lauren Sanchez Bezos?" As half of an unfathomably powerful couple, Mrs. Sanchez Bezos seems to have influenced the uber-rich to stop apologizing and start enjoying themselves. And here's an excerpt from the article: "But Mrs. Sanchez Bezos is nothing if not a woman intent on sampling the full menu. She hasn't just changed Mr. Bezos into a man who hosts Chris Jenner's James Bond-themed 70th birthday party at his Los Angeles home. Sometimes it seems like she's taken the entire culture with her. After years defined by financial crisis, pandemic lockdowns, and moral earnestness, unabashed rich person exuberance is back with a Blue Origin bang, a Mar-a-Lago makeover of the White House, and Zuckerberg rap cover. The Bezos's marriage seems at times as much a cultural inflection point as a love story. The moment American money stopped apologizing and decided it might as well enjoy itself. You would think that marrying into obscene wealth would transform a person, but in this case, Mrs. Sanchez Bezos appears less changed than her husband. The world has long been her everything store. Even before she married Mr. Bezos, whose net worth is estimated to be roughly $250 billion, Mrs. Sanchez Bezos liked to think she was 20% happier than the average person, even when she was 18, crashing on a cousin's garage in Carson, California. Blah, blah, blah."
Okay, so that's just the tip of the iceberg in this article. Pop up the next one, Kylie. "She and Mr. Bezos do everything together. On a typical day, the newlyweds wake up around 6 in their new roughly $230 million compound on Indian Creek, an exclusive private island in Miami, often called Billionaire Bunker. They don't touch their phones. Instead, they begin each day by listing 10 things they're grateful for, and they can't repeat what they named the day before."
So, Pumps, I'll go first. I'll be, I'll be Lauren, and you can be Jeff.
Okay.
Jeff, today I'm grateful for the 10 bank accounts I didn't mention yesterday and all of the interest they are earning, because yesterday I mentioned the Swiss accounts, but today I want to go ahead and just mention the accounts in Dubai because I have been remiss in bringing those up. You be Jeff.
Okay. In honor of, uh, taxes in the United States, I am so grateful that my multibillion-dollar business doesn't have to pay any taxes. And I have been able to keep my employees from unionizing, therefore getting health insurance and a livable wage. I am so grateful, Jeff.
Me too. That's incredible. All right, look at what else these, these two were up to. When I asked, this is the, the person who wrote the article. When I asked about the layoffs at the Post, she's referring to the Washington Post. The union implored its members to tag Mrs. Sanchez Bezos in a social media campaign protesting newsroom cuts. She turned cautious again. "I was a journalist and I know how important journalism is," she said. "But I don't make those business decisions, so I really can't answer them."
This. Unbelievable.
Is unbelievable. The Washington Post is where they, they took down Nixon. And Jeff Bezos spiked the endorsement of Kamala Harris. He spiked that endorsement, and then he fires, when we're in the middle of a war, he fires like all of these, uh, international correspondents. This is the one of the most grotesque pieces of journalism, and the worst part of American culture is people that suck up to piece of [ __ ] rich people, and they just suck up to them because they're rich. And she's genuinely a complete piece of [ __ ]. Not to mention Jeff Bezos is a total piece of [ __ ]. Furthermore, I think it's weird they have to do every single thing together all day long. I think it's weird they're waking up journaling together and making gratitude lists. I think that's a red flag. I don't think this is normal. I think this is performative [ __ ]. And then let me leave you with this. These people have bank accounts that could choke a [ __ ] bull. And here's what Lauren Sanchez Bezos is working on. "A lot of things make Lauren Sanchez Bezos ridiculously happy: helicopters, fashion, protecting the Narwhal, her little sister," and goes on and on. Let me tell you guys, out of all the things you have, all this meld wealth, obscene wealth. Listen, I love animals. The Narwhal is that whale type creature that has the big like pointy horn on it, right? I want to protect Narwhals, but if I had that kind of money right now, you could not shut me up about having [ __ ] you money and saying all these other billionaires are bending the knee. I will not do it. I would say, "Jeff Bezos, no motor-voting for you. Period." Or I'm going to tell everybody how small your penis is if you do not stand up against Donald Trump. She is a coward. This New York Times article is a profile in cowardice. I am so sick of this [ __ ]. She's unapologetically enjoying her money. She's giving every rich person permission to enjoy themselves again. It was never taken away. Rich people have always [ __ ] enjoyed themselves. There's that's never not happened. It's just, it's lies. It's gaslighting. It's moral collapse. And from a woman, a woman who used to be a journalist, it's just so disappointing. And here's the thing. She's like, "I journal. It makes me 20% happier than most people." Why is she? I mean, I just find it odd that she's like, "Well, I'm 20% happier than most people." Everything's about her. She's clearly a narcissist. And here's the thing. I just had no idea until like the last few years how put upon and victimized billionaires felt. I mean, Mark feels neutered. You know, rich people haven't been able to enjoy their wealth. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? This is unbelievable. The lack of self-awareness and narcissism. And it's unbelievable. They really put this in the New York Times. It is, it is, it is truly like the continuation of this advertised moral collapse. Meanwhile, who the New York Times should be doing a profile on is not Lauren Sanchez. It is, uh, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos. Pop this up. "MacKenzie Scott Donates $70 Million to Meals on Wheels, Expands Support for Seniors." Every chance MacKenzie Scott can get, >> she is throwing money to marginalized people to make a difference in people's lives, to issues of racial justice, to issues of social justice, to issues of inequality. Every chance she can get. And she does not want a New York Times profile about her because she's not a sick, twisted narcissist that is like, "We need a permission structure to enjoy our house in Aspen and our private plane." [ __ ] everybody would enjoy a private plane. No, nobody's going to get on the plane and go, "Oh god, this is [ __ ] awful." Everybody enjoys it. Everybody enjoys five-star hotels. Nobody has ever taken that away from you. You just, with an assist from the New York Times, have shown the American people how depraved and horrible you are. And I never was one of these people like three years ago. I didn't have this mindset. Like, I would hear people say, "Billionaires shouldn't exist," and I was like, "That's weird. If they earned all that money, why do you care if they exist or not?" Now I get it. These people are disgusting. They are disgusting human beings. Disgusting. Who skirt the system, who do not stand up for marginalized people. I think this is a, a, a death knell for the Bezos's. And I hope that when they write in their [ __ ] journals one day, that she's like, "Under, you know, she writes, 'I'm so glad for the orgasm I had last night.'" And then in her head she's going, "Faked another one."
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, here's the thing. Like, really and truly, from what I can tell, like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez, these people are insufferable. These are people that if you saw at a party without the money, you would run away and hide from because you just, I can't, I can't talk about how you're 20% happier than most people. I can't do it. So, I just find it interesting that the same people you would run away from if they, you know, same socioeconomic bracket, that now you're going to worship. Like, I don't get it. And here's the thing. It's, if you've been around, and you and I have been around a lot of rich people, and rich people are just like every other people. There's some really great ones, really great people that do great things that are, and they're not looking for attention for it. And then there's pricks. I'll never forget, I was doing some interior design work for a couple, and, uh, we were on their private plane, which is nice. Loved it. Pulled my car up, you know, got right on. And this was during Trump 1.0, and the guy was a big swinging dick MAGA guy, but he was trying to be cool. He's like, "Well, I'm, I, I don't care about, you know, if the gays marry, and I'm, and I'm pro-choice, but I'll tell you what, Donald Trump is the green president." And I was like, "Environmentalist? Like, I'm like, like, what do you mean he's a green president?" He goes, "He's a rain maker. He is the green president as in money." And I thought, number one, there is not a bank account big enough that could ever make me think you're smart or a good person, ever. Ever. But so many people allow wealthy people so much deference and give them the affirmative action of, "Oh, they must be intelligent because they're rich." A lot of these people inherited money, had an assist. And furthermore, I'm just going to say this. If you're donating [ __ ] and you have to put your name on everything, that's a pretty big reveal. I mean, MacKenzie Scott's doing all this [ __ ] privately, just knocking [ __ ] out, giving money away, investing it so she can give more and more away. So, I just think this is grotesque. I think the, uh, uh, Bezos family is grotesque. Um, I am so happy that MacKenzie Scott got away from him. And the downgrade of Jeff Bezos to go from MacKenzie Scott to Lauren Sanchez. It's like what America did. We went from Barack Obama to Donald Trump. I mean, that's that's Jeff Bezos. It's just, it's gross. And the fact that she feels the need to make a permission structure to enjoy her [ __ ] tells you that somewhere she knows how [ __ ] up it is.
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay, this next story. Um, put up the headline. "A Woman Met Her Husband in a Bible Group. Six Kids Later, She Found Out He Was Keeping a Couple Captive in a Basement." What?
Pop this up. Chad Shipper kidnapped Larry and Connie Van in 2017 after they declined to invest in his failing business. He held the couple in a soundproof room below one of his homes and demanded $350,000. Shipper confessed to the kidnapping and is currently serving a 60-year sentence. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow.
The moral to that story is do not meet a future spouse at Bible study. That is going to be a massive red flag. Here's the thing. I didn't meet my ex-husband in Bible study. But the kind of [ __ ] that was going on in my marriage and what he was doing when he wasn't with me. I mean, I'm, it was kind of on the same level as all this crazy [ __ ] about keeping the person in the basement. So, I'd love to go on and on about how this woman, you know, is naive and stupid and denial, but I've been her in so many ways. And so, I really just all I have to say is I feel so bad for this woman that has six kids with this man. And my question would be, what kind of [ __ ] is he doing to her if he's capable of holding people in a basement?
Yeah. And the kids, you know, like this is.
Yeah.
Yeah. And then it's always like, I don't know. I mean, I'm probably going to get ripped for this, but I just think six kids is just too many.
Too many.
I mean, don't we can't we just agree that that's just?
It's too many.
Yeah, that's a, that's a red flag. And not to mention the, uh, kidnapping.

All right, Kylie, let's listen to some voice memos.
Okay, up first we've got Alex. Hey y'all. Alex from South Carolina here. Blue dot, red state. Unfortunately, here's what I've had it with. You know when you walk into a restaurant, you sit down at the table, the waiter or waitress comes over to greet you, and they ask you if you've dined there before? You know what? No, I haven't. But I'm 45 years old, and I know how to eat in a [ __ ] restaurant. Do I look like Nell? Do I look like I just walked out of the woods and saw this door on the street and thought, "I don't know what the [ __ ] this place is, but I'm going to give it a shot." Unless you were doing something so unconventional in your restaurant, I know what to do. I know how it works. That's all. I've had it.
It's fantastic. Here's the deal. I, uh, look, I completely agree. Why does it matter if I've been here before? It can't be that different. I had this, like, within the last two or three months. The server asked me that at [ __ ] Chili's. I'm like, what is so special about Chili's that I wouldn't be able to order here or know what the food was if I hadn't eaten here before?
Now, that's a great one. We've missed that one. I love that.
Yeah, I think we did do that early on. I think in the first year. Yeah, because they, uh, you know, they come and have, have you, have you dined with us before? I lie a lot of the time and say, and say yes, I have.
Yeah. I mean, because I don't want to go through the rules and procedures of whatever it is. I think that question needs to be eliminated entirely. It's irrelevant. It is irrelevant, uh, if we've dined there before or not. So, I, and then it's awkward too, like if you're with people and there's a split decision, like I've been here, but they haven't, then I'm like, why are we sharing, right? All of this, I, information. I just, I think it's stupid. I couldn't agree with the caller enough.
Okay, Kylie, who's next?
Okay, up next we've got Lydia. Hey ladies, I have a really vague [ __ ] grievance. Um, what's with all the comments under any NASA post, any Artemis 2 post being, "You really thought this would fool me? We all know the Earth is flat. The astronauts can't actually go into space. They would die." Um, okay. So Neil deGrasse Tyson was right when he said the scariest thing on planet Earth is science illiteracy because what the literal [ __ ] Sharon, you think that the whole [ __ ] world is pulling a prank on you, Sharon? No. Nobody, like, if you don't know the physics yourself, like this is what gets me. If you can't sit down and explain mathematically why the Earth is flat, then why do you feel confident enough to be like, "Well, it is. It just is. And you over there with your astrophysics degree and your PhD in space [ __ ] Yeah, I know better than you." That just [ __ ] drives me crazy. Like, I'm a molecular biologist, and I've already dealt with this enough with vaccines. Vaccines is more like I understand because it's going in your body, so you have more hesitancy. It doesn't make it any better. Like, you're still [ __ ] stupid, saying absolutely stupid, unfounded [ __ ]. Anti-vaxxers, I'm talking about. But the space [ __ ] just really [ __ ] gets me. Like, you can see the moon. You can understand how it looks like a circle. Like, I don't really, I don't know. Here's the thing. It's just exactly like the COVID vaccine. Like all these, like, RFK Jr. is the head of HHS. He is an attorney. He's not a scientist. He's not a doctor. He has no training in science. So, it just, I am floored by the people that will listen to someone that is not an expert on a subject that requires expertise. I don't know why someone would get on the internet and say, "Well, the Earth is flat." Like, shut up. Don't advertise how stupid you are. The emboldened nature of these people that are stupid to pro, to continue to spout up and talk about it. It, it's just unbelievable. And I just think all of this, we've hate expertise. We want to be experts on everything because we Googled it. It, it just has to stop. And, and unfortunately, with the vaccine situation, the solution and what's going to get people back is going to be death. And that, and that's a sad thing, just like it was in CO.
Yeah. And then, just, just, I want to add to RFK Jr. He cut off the penis of a raccoon and stored it to study it later. So, not only did we have, like, he drove around with a whale head on top of his car, he staged a bear homicide. He said he became a great student when he started using heroin. Now, there's new reporting that he, um, castrated a raccoon that was on the side of the road, kept the penis because he likes to study animal genitalia. So, these are the, uh, that's their group. Like, those are, that's, I don't relate to any of this. I value expertise. I value, um, decades-long bodies of peer-reviewed scientific evidence. And I think the thing is, when you see [ __ ] like that, the internet has just highlighted what an a problem we have with education in the United States.
Yeah.
Of America. Um, which is there's a real stupid problem, you know, just like the, the one-star reviewer, which I don't, I don't get a one-star. Oftentimes we deserve a one-star, or worthy of a one-star review, but, you know, just completely illiterate and only can put up a barf emoji because they can't read or write, you know, and that's just a fundamental problem. Most of these people tend to, um, vote for anti-science, book banning, all the [ __ ]. All the [ __ ] they need, they vote against, and it drives me crazy.
All right, Kylie, who's next?
Okay, up next we've got Ashlin. Hey, Jenn and Pumps. I just wanted to say how much I love this show and how much it's done for me personally, but I wanted to say I [ __ ] had it with people who can't seem to function without their local Facebook group. Um, I live in a smaller size town west of Fort Worth, Texas, and I'm just astounded at the helplessness of some people and how they can't seem to make it out of their driveway without consulting our town's Facebook page. It, it's truly like a medical marvel at this point. It's exhausting to look at to pick people's brains or try to understand how they can't just Google when a store closes, or why when holidays come around and people are firing off fireworks, people think that all of a sudden we've become the most dangerous city in America. Um, or, you know, if the roads are bad after an ice storm that we are not used to. I, I mean, I could come up with so many things. It's, it's just, it's amazing to see how people just, it, it's like, I, it's helpless. I don't know how else to explain it.
Okay, so I have a story about something similar to this. So I was in the elevator at my apartment, and a lady, it went down one floor. I was going to the ground. A lady gets on the floor below me, and I'm standing there with my dogs, and she's like, "Hi." And I said, "Hi." And she said, "Do you live in the building?" And I said, "Yes." And I told her my apartment number. And then she said, "Are you on the GroupMe?" And I said, "No, I'm not. I'm not, I'm not in the GroupMe." And she said, "Would you like to be in the GroupMe?" And I said, "You know, um, no. I, I, I don't think I would like to be in the building GroupMe. If, if there's anything that I need, you know, to be made privy of, I'm sure the super could let me know." She said, "Well, we're really organized." And I noticed that there were a couple of units that were not in the GroupMe. So, I'd like to go ahead and add you right now. And I'm just like, I, I do not want to be in the GroupMe. It's just said, "Well, why not?" And I said, "Well, my, my youngest son just graduated from high school last year, and I was in a lot of GroupMe. And one of the things that I celebrated because it's kind of sad when your kid leaves home, but one of the bright lights was that I wouldn't have to be in a GroupMe again." And I know that y'all are probably doing great work, and I don't mean to be dismissive of it, but I just, I, I'm at the age right now where I'm going to advocate for myself. And she's looking at me like, and I just said, "I'm, I just want to advocate for myself, and I just simply don't want to be in the GroupMe." She said, "Well, you know what we're all grouping about?" And I said, "Well, what is it?" And she said, "You know, three buildings down there's, you know, oftentimes homeless people there." I said, "Yeah, yeah, I've seen that." And she said, "Well, we're trying to do everything we can do to
Get him off the street. How do you deal with it?
And I go, "I cross the street, walk on the other side, and just, you know, there that's just sadly, you know, there's a homeless problem all, you know, in the United States of America. I think it's something like is it 400,000 homeless people in the United States and I just had this solution that she was just kind of revolutionary. I just cross the street, you know, just like because you you don't know. Not that I'm scared of homeless people, but you know, you have to protect yourself. I'm a a woman walking by myself at various times of day and so I'm just like I'm going to just go around this."
But she was wound up and then she really wanted me to be in this group me. And I remained steadfast and, you know, 5 years ago I would have said, "Okay, yeah, sure, add me." And then I just would have ghosted the group me. Right. I let her know like, "This is a no. I will not be in this group me. I am liberated from this type of thing because, you know, it's just absolutely hysterical."
And then further, furthermore, I don't want to hear, and I'm not saying anybody in the building does this, but I'm very, there's an attitude about homeless people in the United States among a lot of people that's really dehumanizing to me. And when I see them, I, I honestly, I think it's really sad. I think a lot of them have mental problems, drug problems, or veterans that the Republican party refuses to fund, um, once they return from war. And so it's just not something that I, I wish we had a robust program to help them, but me being in the group me to try to get them kicked off the street. And they're not always there. It's random, you know, and then they, the police come by and they shoe them along. But I just thought was kind of, kind of mean.
Well, here's the thing. The fact that she just was not going to take no for an answer and then thought telling you what they're grouping about like, "Well, we're grouping about the." It's like, you, you're being busybodies. Like you're, you're trying to solve a problem that is unsolvable at this point. Like you don't have any big solutions for this. So I'm not, I'm not Jennifer. I want to commend you. I do not think you're missing a lot of intellectual stimulation from that.
No, I don't either. And I sure as hell didn't, uh, raise my kids, graduate them, send them off to college to then join another group me. I just, I can't. I cannot do it. But the, the caller back to the caller, she's right. Like so many of these people, these Facebook groups, it's their whole, it's their whole world. I mean, it's like they, they'll write, "Does anybody know if there's a restaurant near Main Street and Second?" And it's like, "Bitch, there is Google." That is not a Facebook post.
But I think it's just a larger, like, people are lonely and dying for a sense of community. And maybe that's what's going on in my apartment building. I don't know. But I just want out on that type of kind of like anonymous text communication. I'm just not into it. I'm into quality, not quantity communication. And if I have to go 5 days not talking to one person, then at the end of that 5 days, I have a great 1-hour conversation that's substantive, I'll take that all day long.
Yeah. No, I completely agree. I do kind of identify with this part of it. I always like the Oklahoma City weather, particularly in the spring with tornadoes and stuff. It's always like 911, you have to take cover. Like all this crazy hysterics that never happen. And so the per, I always like, I was yesterday, people were like, "Oh, make sure you're at your house by 4:30, you know, all this stuff, hail and blah, blah." I'm just kind of like, whatever.
Well, you Google it and you can't get a straight answer. So I do always text Seth. He always seems to know about the weather.
Yeah. I mean, he'll tell me exactly. No, you don't need to worry about it. I mean, he's texted me before. "We're getting ready to get hail. Make sure your car's in." And then immediately it hails. So I only trust Seth with weather updates. Our meteorologist said. Now, I think the problem with the weather in Oklahoma is they've cried wolf so many times, but when it is bad, it's so bad.
But I, what I hate is just normal people that aren't meteorologists that would say to me, "Make sure you're weather aware today." I'm like, "You are not a meteorologist. Do not tell me to be weather aware today." Or this. And I've talked about this on the podcast before. This drives me crazy. "Looks like we're getting some weather today." "Oh yeah." "Some weather." It's just, yeah. A lot of discussions about weather I'm not very interested in.
Although I will say my first winter in the East Coast, I was, what I just described that I wasn't into. I was talking a lot about how cold it was and the snow and the pileup of snow and its refusal to melt. So, I, I am a part of the problem as well. Yeah.
