Angie
The HBIC Head Beaver in Charge, Patriots.
Jennifer
Gay Trio.
Angie
Black Triads. Fuck off.
Jennifer
There you go. There. She finally did it. All right, Pumps, what have you had it with?
Angie
Okay, what I've had it with is that people cannot take accountability for their behavior or words that they say and just simply say, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. And I just see this everywhere. Obviously it's highlighted by Donald Trump. I'm sure in politics it's always been there, but I get so sick of the doubling down on lies instead of just saying I made a mistake. I have more respect for people when they say, you know what? I messed up and I apologize. I should have done that differently if I had it to do over again. I would, but I feel like accountability is just in the shithole of the universe.
Jennifer
I completely agree with you. I mean, I just. It seems like, particularly right now with the MAGA movement, they are so accountability adverse. And then you have all of these enablers.
Angie
Yes.
Jennifer
That enable them. And what seems to go hand in hand is the lack of accountability coupled with being persecution complex, where these people sit around and act like, oh, my gosh, I don't have to say sorry because they're picking on me. Like, you know, Elon Musk is apparently going to drop out of politics because the left wing is too mean to him. And I'm just like, maybe apologize for doing Nazi salutes.
Angie
Right.
Jennifer
Maybe start there. Maybe apologize for acting like you knew how to save money when you really didn't know anything about it and you just caused a lot of havoc and people are fired from their jobs and then now, you know, American democracy is crumbling. Maybe start with apologizing there, but it doesn't. They go hand in hand. The people who can't apologize often sit around in the fetal position and whine because they're titty babies.
Angie
What I can't wrap my head around is why Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who are billionaires, have power, sit around and play victim all the time. And does that ever get tiring? Do they ever get tired of the poor me? I mean, at some point, don't you just get sick of saying, poor me and look in the mirror and say, you know, maybe I created some of my problems?
Jennifer
I don't think that they have that sort of emotional intelligence to be that introspective. But what amazes me is that their followers don't get sick of hearing.
Angie
Yes.
Jennifer
That's the component where if you hear somebody whining and complaining and poor me. And then. And then you realize, okay, this dude's the common denominator in all this drama, so maybe he needs to shut the fuck up and quit breaking laws. It's the. It's the personality cult that doesn't grow tired of it that shocks me the most.
Angie
Yeah. And that makes me think there must be a lot of Americans that think they're constantly picked on and they don't do anything wrong. I mean, that just has to be. Because why would you not be sick of your leaders saying poor me all the time?
Jennifer
Well, what's happened is the. There's a lot of social justice movements that have really started to institute accountability for a group of people who have never truly been held accountable, wherein the laws and Rules and norms were always made for them to be somewhat blurry. And I'm speaking about privileged white men. And so for the first time, you know, they can't slap their secretary on the ass and tell her she looks hot today. And they can't say the R word. And they can't, you know, call men fags's and you know, they were being held accountable for racist hiring practices, et cetera. And so, yeah, they're not used to that. So the victimhood, they genuinely feel it is real.
Angie
Yeah, that's such a great point. That peop. You know, the social justice is catching up with. That's a great point.
Jennifer
Yeah. Okay, let me tell you what I've had it with. And it's a. It's a situation that happened. You're gonna die. Okay, so listener, the NBA playoffs are right now, and we live in Oklahoma City. And the Oklahoma City Thunder is like, it's a big deal in a city the size of ours. And they're really good. Yeah, like, they're a really, really, really good BAS team. They're young, they're fun to watch, etc. So my husband and I go to one of the playoff games and in Oklahoma City, like, being a fan is very important. Like, we really love this team. And they put T shirts on every chair for everybody to wear so that everybody in the arena has like this Thunder pride. And while you're sitting there waiting for the game to start, the in house, in arena cameras go around and they zoom in on people that don't have their T shirts on. And it says, put your T shirts on. And there's like a DJ saying, hey, put your T shirts on. And they're like, okay. And they put their popcorn put their T shirts on. So they bully everybody, like publicly shame them as they should into putting their T shirts on. Right. I. I know about this. Been going to Thunder games for a very long time. I arrive, I put my T shirt on, just handle it immediately. And so there's this woman sitting in front of me and she has on a gray T shirt that says Thunder on it. And she's with her daughter that's probably 12. And they're doing this bullying all over, forcing people to put on their Thunder shirts. And most people are great sports about it. Immediately put it on. Everybody cheers. It's just kind of like this pre game fun. So this turns around and she's staring at me, and she's the seat directly in front of me, and she just keeps staring at me. And the cameras are going around and she's on her phone and she's like tapping and she has those long kind of pointy nails. She's like, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. And then she's picking up the phone, but she refuses to face outward towards the court. And you know, meanwhile the arena's filling up, it's not on TV yet. The players aren't even out. And then finally she looks at me and she goes, I'm not putting the shirt on. I am just not putting the shirt on. I mean, they can put the camera on me all they want to, but I'm not going to put the shirt on. I mean, if we start losing or something, sure, by then I'll put it on. And I literally, like, look over my shoulder. Like, I don't know who you think you're talking to and I don't know if you think that I'm going to collude and you being a gold star right now, but you're barking up the wrong tree. Sit down, put your shirt on or leave. And then, you know, her daughter's sitting there. I can tell that her daughter's kind of embarrassed. And I'm just kind of just sitting at her like, I mean, I'm not feeding it, I will not enable it because she thinks she's the exception.
Angie
Right?
Jennifer
You know, and everybody that goes to these games and we've been to, my family and I, we love NBA games and we've been to games at la. We've been to games in Cleveland, Houston, other, other cities, like in la, they're too cool to all put the shirts on. But not us, we. We value that team. We know what a big deal it is to have an NBA team. But this little bitch thought that she could just wear a gray shirt and be the skunk at the garden party. And it just really pissed me off. And I just kept looking at my husband going, I hate her. And then of course, Josh goes, you 100% know she's maggot. And I go, 100%. I mean, I wanted to when she was doing the stare down with me, like I was going to collude with her and say, oh, it's okay, darling, don't put the shirt on. Don't worry about it. I should have said, why didn't you just wear your MAGA hat?
Angie
Right? Why don't you have your makeup America great hat on? Why don't you have Trump with a great body on your T shirt? Here's what bothers me about that. What makes you think you're better than everybody else in the stadium. Why are you special?
Jennifer
Why come to the game?
Angie
Why come to the game? And it's not like I had the same thing happen to me one time. And this woman I was going through, I mean, she did have on like all Gucci, all designer, like, super fancy outfit, But I'm like, why would you wear that when, you know, during playoff games they give you a T shirt? Like, don't wear that. This woman sounds like she wasn't even like super dolled. It was a girl.
Jennifer
She had a gray T shirt on. She had on these super tight blue jeans and she was just. I mean, her panties were in a wad and she somehow thought that I was going to be like, you know, oh, oh, it's okay, don't worry about it. And I just wasn't going to. I'm like, don't come to the game then sit at home and wear your T shirt there. Because everybody in this arena is going to wear their thunder T shirt provided by the arena as a part of our ticket to show that little team in this little city of ours that we love and support them. That's what I'm doing. I'm not going to be the asshole in the paycom arena trying to. And then I'm like, out of all the seats, I of course have to sit right behind this fucking bitch.
Angie
Didn't you have something weird happen to you last time you sat by somebody? That was weird.
Jennifer
Yeah, it's just, you know, I.
Angie
The loud talk.
Jennifer
I get to a place where I realize, and I don't know if the podcast has exacerbated this because we talk about our grievances so much. My tolerance level is decreasing. But I'm getting to the place where I realize I just don't like people. But I like the overall idea of humanity.
Angie
Right. I like little small groups of people that I know. And then I like alone time. I like isolation.
Jennifer
I read this article the other day and I thought, okay, this is good for me. And it was like, the more emotionally intelligent you are, the smaller your group is. And so I thought, oh my God, maybe I'm actually finally becoming emotionally intelligent because I have a very close group of tight knit, non MAGA pre approved friends that. And if they're outside of that, I just, I don't wish to spend time with people that are maga. No, I just, I just don't want to do it. I'm not going to enable them and make them feel like we just have political difference when in my mind it's a moral difference.
Angie
It's a moral difference.
Jennifer
Welcome to I've had it. I'm Jennifer.
Angie
I'm Angie Hbic again. That's the head beaver in charge for those of you that are new.
Jennifer
Kylie, Hi.
Kylie
Before I read your reviews today, a fan sent me something that I have to show you. And if everyone remembers, on a previous episode, you described your issue with your door and your sign that says stop, do not enter. So a fan made you a new sign to put up.
Jennifer
Okay.
Kylie
It says stop at the top, and then it's got a box and it says, are you here for. Do you check any of the following boxes? And then it lists Botox appointment, spa appointment, legal appointment, medical appointment, wear knotted headbands, use Stanley cups, triple trumper, titty baby power, mom or dad, evangelical Bible thumper, own a Tesla, love gender reveals, or sit on the same side of the booth. If so, turn around.
Jennifer
Yeah, that's fantastic. And I could also add to this, refuse to wear the required playoff T shirt when tens of thousands of people in the arena are doing so, and you think you're the most special twat in all of Oklahoma City that you don't have to wear it. And I hope to God she listens to this podcast.
Angie
Well, you know she doesn't because she's maggot. Wear a T shirt.
Jennifer
Yeah. All right, Kylie, what's next?
Kylie
Okay, we've got some reviews, and I'm gonna start with a one star review.
Jennifer
Oh, good.
Kylie
Titled, Used to be Good. And they write. I can't even listen anymore. The hosts have become so unbearable and overly political. And the thing is, many of their politics I agree with, but they just don't know what they're talking about. Jennifer and Angie aren't intellectual heavyweights by any means. That was the charm of the show. It was shallow, and that's what made it enjoyable. Now they're trying to go deep, but they don't know how to swim.
Jennifer
I mean, you know, I mean, if they agree with us politically and they think, I mean, I guess that's fair, right?
Angie
I mean, I mean, to each their own.
Jennifer
I. I would probably agree. We're not intellectual heavyweights. I think there's maybe a little shallow. I think there's some truth that for sure I'm shallow. There's no question about that.
Angie
I can't. And he said we were charming at one point, so, I mean, at some.
Jennifer
Point we were good.
Angie
At some point we were charming.
Jennifer
That's the only star I can get behind.
Angie
I can, too. That's fine with Me.
Kylie
All right, all right. Five stars. Titled Love. And Bella writes, as a Gen Z listener who's not a gaytriot or a theatriot, I want to coin a new term for the just girlies who are here to be patriots. And I want to be a slatriot.
Jennifer
Love it.
Kylie
Caca.
Angie
That sounds like that's definitely a Gen Z because my daughter says that. Oh, did I tell you, when I was at parents weekend at ou, which is college, I had so many young girls, like, in college that were listener. I mean, I was just like, this is so exciting.
Jennifer
Okay, what's next, Kylie?
Kylie
Okay, I've got one more review for you. 5 stars. Titled the Algorithm Gods have Delivered Me. Pecan Boy writes, things are so stressful in Trump's America, but being able to listen to these two elderly lesbians bash on the whiny titty babies running our country is a wonderful reprieve for a couple hours each week.
Jennifer
Love you both.
Kylie
Already from a California gaytriot. Thank you for that term.
Jennifer
You know, I have. I wish I could take credit for that term, but it was somebody who was. We used to say, listen up, patriots, and then a gay listener said, why don't you also use the word gay tree? And I can't remember who does it. Who it was. I think it was somebody that was in our patreon, But I wish we could take credit for that. But it's so important that we include the gay trio because, my God, I had a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday, pickleball friend of mine, and she and her wife and a bunch of their other lesbian friends are really suffering right now. It's really, really difficult to be gay in America right now. In the fear that this current administration and many, many members of the American population are able to just look at them and gaslight them and minimize their feelings. And it's just. That's just never a political party I want to be a part of. I always want to stand with the gay treasure with conviction until the day I die. I just. That's just something that is. Is I will not compromise on at all.
Angie
It's just. It's a really scary time in America. It really is.
Jennifer
You know, Kylie's girlfriend Anna was into it the other day on her Instagram stories. You know, just. And you just see it. You see this extra layer that people that are black, people that are immigrants, people that are gay. There's. There's a personal pointed attack towards them from this administration and their personality cult, and it's really Terrifying.
Angie
Well, not only has Trump emboldened it, he leads the charge in being hateful and cruel to people. And his followers like it.
Jennifer
This episode of I've had it is brought to you by booking.com booking yeah, every time I use booking.com I find a place to stay in the U.S. i know they'll have exactly what I'm looking for. They have a huge variety of options from hotels to vacation rentals, and I'm always able to find something that fits my specific needs. I found that booking.com has something for everyone. Recently I took my oldest son and his girlfriend to New York City. They wanted to stay in Soho. Through booking.com I was able to find the perfect hotel for us.
Angie
What I like about booking.com is I can find a great vacation rental where my kids and I both have our own space and we have a common area to enjoy so we don't get sick of each other.
Jennifer
Listener no matter who you are, Booking.com helps you find the stay that's ridiculously right for you. Find exactly what you're booking for on booking.com booking yeah, people are talking a lot about spring cleaning, but here's what we should really be talking about, listeners. Bombas Spring socks. Yep, you heard me right. It's a busy time of the year and the right socks can make or break your spring. And you're probably thinking, Jennifer, you're being ridiculous. And I'm going to tell you this much. I am so happy and my feet are so happy and my piggies are so happy in these Bombas socks. I wear them every single day and ever since I started wearing Bombas, it is the only sock that I wear. Whether I'm running, playing tennis or just lounging around the house. It's all about bombas for me.
Angie
I like it because they have blister fighting socks and sweat wicking athletic socks. So my feet just. I mean it's a game change listener.
Jennifer
Bombas started making socks when they learned that they're the number one most requested clothing item in homeless shelters. So thank you for shopping with Bombas. You've helped donate over 150 million essential items. Now that's a lot of socks and a lot of kindness. Head over to bombas.com hatit and use code hatit for 20% off your first purchase. That's b.com had it code had it at checkout. Some might say homes.com is the best home shopping site. Could it be because it has a sleek spam free site or the most in depth school info. Homes.com knows every parent wants the best for their kids, so they're the only ones with school and district details and reviews from multiple sources, including niche. It may be homes.com's super comprehensive and transparent agent directory. Or Maybe it's that homes.com is the only site that always directly connects you with the listing agent who knows the home best. Perhaps it's because homes.com has the most in depth neighborhood content of any home shopping site that's extensively researched. To highlight the personality of each neighborhood, Homes.com has 22 data visualization layers, seven environmental layers, and allows you to search by commute and architectural factors. It's the home search you've been searching for. Go to homes.com today for home shopping the way it should be. Homes.com we've done your homework. All right, Kylie, I think I have some news.
Kylie
Let's hear the news.
Jennifer
All right, we have news. Put this up. Right wing pastor claims airport body scanners can, quote, turn you gay. Fellas. Is it gay to submit yourself to the cold, unfeeling machinery of the surveillance state? According to right wing evangelical preacher Andrew Isker, yes. But do you know what's not gay? Being physically searched by a male TSA agent. Honestly, we're confused too. And here's what I have to say is it always seems like maga. They are the people and the evangelical right right wing branch of that political party, they are so consumed with gay trans. I remember we had a senator in Oklahoma, Tom Colburn. Do you remember him? Yeah, I think he died. But he said when he was running one of these, when he was running for Senate, he said that southeastern Oklahoma had a huge problem with lesbians.
Angie
He was overrun by lemon.
Jennifer
I wanted to be like, there is a real fine line between cowgirls and lesbians. And I also think there's a real fine line between cowboys and gay men. Yeah, like think about cowboys, they wear the. I think it was Jared Freed who pointed this out. These skin tight wranglers and these belts that cinch the waist and they get out there and twirl around on the dance floor and there is kind of a fine line. So I think that. But part of the fundamental problem here is that a lot of people that are in that movement are probably turned on or have been turned on at times in their life by somebody of the same gender and they freak out about it. And then now we're talking about, you know, these airport scanners. It's nuts.
Angie
Well, the first thing I thought of was obviously he got A hard on or sensations of a hard on when he was getting patted down. And now that's why it has to be gay turning you gay. Because he can't have just gotten a hard on because the guy patted him down because he liked it. What a nut.
Jennifer
Okay, the next one is. Beavers form lifelong relationships and remain loyal to their partners forever. Beavers are known for forming lifelong partnerships, staying fiercely loyal to their mate. These monogamous animals build and maintain their lodges together, raise their young as a team, and rarely separate. Their enduring bonds and cooperative nature make them a beautiful symbol of love, commitment and lasting companionship in the wild. I just think that's you and me. I do too. And here's the thing, kids. Together we did look at the beavers within their holding hands.
Angie
They're holding hands. They're soulmates. I'll tell you what, the more I learn about the beaver, the more I like it, the more admiration I have. When I found out Canada that was their animal, I was all in. The more articles I read about beavers, the happier I am to be the hbic.
Jennifer
The more I read about them, the more I realize that you are the queen beaver.
Angie
I am the queen of the beavers. Or as the Gen Z, or would say sleigh beaver.
Jennifer
I think it was slay Triotriot, but. But we can. You can slay your beaver.
Angie
I'm a beaver slayer.
Jennifer
Okay, the next story. Strippers are sometimes hired to perform at funerals in China. In some rural areas of China, strippers have been hired to perform at funerals as a way to attract large crowds and honor the deceased. While this may sound surprising or even inappropriate to outsiders, the tradition stems from a cultural belief that a well attended funeral reflects high social status and respect for the person who passed away. However, the Chinese government has condemned the practice and launched crackdowns over the years, labeling it uncivilized and inappropriate authority. Authorities have even set up hotlines for people to report such events. Still, despite government disapproval, the practice continues to pop up in more remote or traditional villages. I've gotta say, I would love nothing more than to go to a funeral and have a sex sex worker do a little side performance.
Angie
I'd be more inclined to go to the funeral if I thought that. Totally.
Jennifer
Yeah.
Angie
I'm like, good for you. Do it. I mean, you're. Yeah, you're celebrating. If that's how they want to get people in the seats, I'm all for it. Of course, China, the US will probably start doing this too. Banning strippers next. I mean, well, that's not true, because Republicans.
Jennifer
But you notice that, like, the. The Republicans, they want to talk about, like, everybody's sex life, but they rarely bring up porn. Do you ever hear them bringing up, like, you know, like, oh, we've got to do something about porn. I mean, and this is just my personal take, and I'll have to research this, but you see the young white boys having a lot of problems right now with loneliness. All of that is at the same time that porn became so accessible on the Internet. And they also happen to be incredibly misogynist. And I just think the young boys are sitting around watching a bunch of porn. But Republican and Democratic politicians don't want to do anything about it because they, too, like their porn.
Angie
Right. I mean, people like porn. It's just how it is. Here's another thing.
Jennifer
Are you a big liker porn?
Angie
Well, I mean, I haven't really watched a bunch, but I'm all for everybody else watching it if they want.
Jennifer
All right, Kylie, what. What do we have in store for our listeners today on the America's Top DEI podcast?
Kylie
We've got some DEI voice memos.
Angie
Excellent.
Kylie
Up first, we've got Emma.
Jennifer
Hi, Pums. Hi, Jen. Hi, Kylie. I wanted to share a correlation that I have found to Trumpism. Now, we've talked about the Stanley cups, we've talked about top knot headbands, but I firmly believe that when young, straight, specifically white couples get married and their first dog together is a purebred golden retriever, they're Trump supporters. Now, no, hate to goldens. They're great dogs. They're super cute.
Angie
But when I see that.
Jennifer
When I see that specific situation, I think something's up. Want to know if you guys have experienced this before? Have you seen it? Do you agree? Do you disagree? So I kind of. I agree. I went all the way down with it until the golden retriever. And I just picture golden retrievers as not being MAGA for some reason. I picture MAGA dogs. I don't know. I picture dog. I don't even know if I picture dogs being MAGA as much as I picture the dogs that have MAGA owners as being hostages. Right.
Angie
And maybe like. Like a German. Not German shepherd. What's the Doberman pinscher? That, to me, strikes me as a magical.
Jennifer
I grew up with Doberman pinschers.
Angie
Oh. And they're sweet.
Jennifer
They're so sweet.
Angie
Dogs are generally sweet if they're owners.
Jennifer
That's why I think they're hostages.
Angie
Yeah. Now, I thought she was going to go down the line of, like, white couples get married and their Instagram is updated two seconds later. I was all in on that. But I don't know about the golden.
Jennifer
Yeah, I don't know about the golden. I feel like. I don't know. I just. I feel like golden retrievers make intense eye contact. And I feel like. I don't know. I don't know that I. I get her logic. What she was going down, but I disagree. And maybe I'm wrong, but.
Angie
Well, we're gonna have to put it on the watch list.
Kylie
Okay, up next, we've got Austin.
Jennifer
Hi.
D
Jessica. Beaver. Pump. Angelina, Dawn, Whatever the your name is. And Katrina, the other girl, lesbian. Just wanted to let you know I've had. It was more. And here's what it is. It's about work, kind of. I've just had it with these really long job titles. Like, what the. Why is your job title 46 words long? Like, how are you the senior chief, junior vice president of global strategy and manager of human resources and data analytics? 3. What the does that even mean? And don't get me started with the signatures on your email. You have the signature. That's like your name, your position, your company, and your phone number. That's fine. I like that. That's actually really helpful. But then you have people who also sign their name above that. They just like, write yours truly, Rebecca, or whatever the fuck your name is. And then right below it, it also says that their name is Rebecca, Their job title, all that stuff. Their email address says that their name is Rebecca. How many times do we need to confirm that your name is Rebecca? And please know, I'm just using a random name. I don't know the big name Rebecca that I worked with or that I've emailed with recently. I'm just making shit up. But what the fuck is with these long job titles? I've had it with that.
Jennifer
I think that's a really good point. I think that this. There's this corporate culture that we've talked about where it's. Let's workshop this. Let's scramble the jets, you know, let's put it in the parking lot. All of that just corporate bullshit. Speak. And unnecessary meeting, unnecessary emails, unnecessary titles. It's just their corporate culture is kind of weird.
Angie
Yeah. Don't you kind of feel like younger people, like, we've talked about a lot? Like, when we first started working, it was like, do your job, you get your ass chewed. Like, there was no rah rah. Jennifer, you're the best ever. It was very strict and now I feel like this whole. All these titles maybe a way of like rewarding people, like throwing them a bone, like your special participation trophy type thing. But I have people have handed me a card or an email or. And I'm looking at. I'm like, I don't even know what the fuck this is. Like, he was so right. It's like the chief senior strategist to GL3. It's like, what the fuck?
Jennifer
Yeah, yeah. No, I agree. I think it's. Corporate culture is really weird. It's really, really, really weird. And I'm so glad that I'm not in it.
Angie
Yeah.
Jennifer
Because it's just. I mean, it would just be a lot.
Angie
Can you imagine being an HR director?
Jennifer
No, but I would like to have access to HR files.
Angie
Right. The secrets, the dirt.
Jennifer
Yeah. Just to pull an all nighter with some highlighters, paper clips posted, spread any.
Angie
Rumors or anything, just to know what's.
Jennifer
Going on, conduct an investigation. Yeah.
Angie
Just a little inside knowledge.
Jennifer
Yeah. Okay, next.
Kylie
Okay, up next, we've got for YouTube watchers a video submission.
Jennifer
Okay.
D
Jennifer and Pumps. We have a submission. We have had it with feckin jeeps and their ducks that they put on their dash. I don't know if you've seen it. We're tired of it. We're sick of the peep people who are doing it. Like, show this picture. If you get these people, like, what the are you doing? Like, how do you drive with. How do you drive ducks?
Jennifer
And what do they mean?
D
What do they mean? They're in every jeep. And honestly, they're insufferable. The people that are driving.
Jennifer
Yeah. It used to be kind of hip to have these. Yeah.
D
Jeeps to be.
Jennifer
Yeah.
D
To drive a regular. They're the same type of people to get a jeep tattoo.
Jennifer
Like, like.
D
It is like the. The cult of the jeep is something else. Anyway, that's all I have to say to you guys. That's my submission. Included or not.
Jennifer
Oh, it's included. And they're just about as cute as they could be.
Angie
I couldn't see the ducks. Did you see him?
Jennifer
Yeah, I. I saw the ducks and I've seen the ducks out in the wild and they are 100% right. I don't know what this. What spawned this. I don't know why it's happening in every state. I don't understand. You know what it is? It's riff raff knickknacks. What it is in the car.
Angie
Yeah.
Jennifer
And here's the thing. Like, you know, I'm an interior designer, I understand designing things, accessorizing things. I understand it. The dashboard of the car is not something that needs to be accessorized. We don't need a bunch of chotchky ducks, riff raff and knickknack. And then they had a point that when you're turning a corner or hitting the brakes, what. What's going on with the ducks? Are they secured? Are they Velcroed down? Are they belted in? Does anybody care about their safety? You know, these ducks are just flying all over the place. It's stupid. And I think he's right, that these are the same people that get jeep tattoos.
Angie
Probably have balls on their trucks, too.
Jennifer
On the back, you know?
Angie
Okay, let me tell you what I saw yesterday. I was leaving. I was going to pick up the dogs from dog daycare. There was a convertible pulling out, and they had their pug, like, up on the hood or the trunk, the roof of the trunk. And they're driving away and their pug is standing on their trunk. I was a nervous.
Jennifer
Why wreck?
Angie
I don't know. I don't know if they thought it was cute. They didn't. They were young, like, I would say high school. Ish. But yeah, they had this dog. They were pulling out and drove because I watched, because I thought, oh, they're going to pull over.
Jennifer
Was it an accident?
Angie
No, they were laughing about it. So the dog is standing on the roof of the trunk and they're driving and, I mean, I'm assuming the dog was on a leash. I don't know. But it scared the shit out of me. And I thought, what the fuck? I went in and tattled, though. I was like, who has to.
Jennifer
100%. You have to tattle on that. I mean, that's just. You don't get to put your pug on the trunk and drive down the street. That's fucked up.
Angie
Yeah. I kept thinking, because it was like everybody was kind of trying to come in and go. So I thought they were going to pull out of the driveway and then pull over. No, they just went right on. I could not believe.
Jennifer
Did they get the. Did they turn onto the main street with the pug on the trunk?
Angie
No, they turned on that side street and I watched him all the way till I couldn't see him anymore. And they did not pull over and put the pug in the backseat.
Jennifer
I wonder where the pug is.
Angie
I don't know. We'll have to check today to see.
Jennifer
If the pug made it back to me. That's like straight to jail. Like you animal abuse. The police need to pull that person over and they need to be arrested. That is, that is unacceptable. You do not do that to your dog. It's not cute, it's not fun, it's not funny. And that shit pisses me off because those people shouldn't own pets.
Angie
Yeah. And there were two of them. Only one was on the trunk.
Jennifer
They should not own pets. I mean, that's just, that is so fucked up to do that for your own entertainment.
Angie
Yeah. And that's because they were laughing and giggling and watching it. So it couldn't, it wasn't like if Ollie jumped back there and I put it in park and slammed and got them out. They were, it was part of a whole thing.
Jennifer
The temperature is starting to rise and I've realized I have the same old worn out clothing rotation and I needed to upgrade. And that's why I can personally endorse my shopping experience at Quint's. I got some European linen shorts that I personally love. I wear them all the time, starting from just $30. I've even dabbled into their swimwear and I, I absolutely love these swimsuits.

Kylie
Okay, up next, we've got Corwin.
D
I'm currently listening to maga. Jesus is a dick and I wanted to piggyback off this person's I've had it. So they're talking about performative grandparents and picking what name they want to go by. You know, oh, I'm Meemaw and I'm Pawpaw. These are the same motherfuckers that have a problem with pronouns. Call someone he or she or they and you know, just whatever you're born with. But you get to pick and like choose what your grandkids call you because that matters so much. Grow up.
Jennifer
Okay, he's 100% right. And I just want to say that this needs to be said. Democrats, and not even just Democrats. People that are anti MAGA and pro democracy. We all need to start saying all the time on social media, in conversations, on podcasts, wherever. The reason you can't have nice things is not because of people using their pronouns, rainbow flags or trans people. The reason that you can't have nice things in this country is because the people who are upset about the pronouns and feed that to you like red meat don't pay their taxes. I'm not talking about the rich White guys, they don't pay their taxes and they want a system that is rigged for them. And because that can sometimes be difficult to absorb all of that, they throw out rainbow flags, they throw out pronouns, they throw out immigrants. And at the end of the day, if you live in a free country, why do you give a shit what flag somebody flies? If you live in a free country and somebody is a they, them, he, her, why do you care? Why do you care is you either live in a free country or you don't live in a free country. And you're either going to be the thought police and tell people they can't go by what pronouns you think they should go pronounce, they should go by. And you still get to think it's stupid. You don't have to like it, but you don't get to be a dick about it. But none of that is the reason that you can't have nice things. The reason, Middle America that you can't have nice thing things is because Jeff Bezos doesn't pay taxes, Elon Musk doesn't pay taxes. The systems are rigged to where it's easier for their companies to avoid regulations and all sorts of investigations. And we could go on and on, but it gets rather boring. But that's why. And until the Democrats start flipping the script and saying, why are you so triggered by a rainbow flag? Right. Why does a drag queen upset you so much? Just don't go to a drag show. But instead they cede ground. Democrats are constantly ceding ground and saying, oh, the right. The. The progressive wing of the party has to quit talking about pronouns and rainbow flags. I'm like, do we really. It's a free country. Why do you give a shit? Why are you ceding to the dipshit Nazis?
Angie
Well, and they're just coming for everybody. I mean, it's. They're going for trans. They're going for blacks, browns, immigrants. I mean, they're demonizing people and otherizing people in a dangerous way. And we all have to stick together because we're. Unless you're a white male billionaire, you are in the class that is going to be. They're going to come after next.
Jennifer
Yeah, and it's just a scapegoat. It's a tactic to get everybody their eye off the ball of what's really happening. It's gaslighting and it's a tactic. And I mean, it's just more Democrats or reformed Republicans need to start calling out what it is. Trans people, rainbow flags, pronouns, none of that. Is preventing you from having health care.
Angie
Right.
Jennifer
None of it is capitalism. And valuing profits in the health care industry and valuing the rights of insurance companies over human beings and citizens, that's why you can't have. Have health care.
Angie
Yeah, that's your problem.
Kylie
Okay, speaking of flags, up next, we've got Liv.
Jennifer
Okay, so I'm driving back from the.
D
Dispensary, and I have had it.
Jennifer
Had it. These people, right, have two flag poles outside their house. Can you guess what flags are on those poles?
D
I'm pretty sure you guessed right.
Jennifer
Yeah, it's Trump. But not just one. No, there's four Trump flags and one American flag. What a dick sucker. Are you kidding me? Like, what the is wrong with people? That's insane to me. That's like, mentally not. Okay.
D
I don't. I don't get it. I. I've had it. I live in the Midwest, so it's.
Jennifer
Not shocking, but like, holy fuck, I've.
D
Never seen that much Trump in a fucking yard before. Fuck.
Angie
You know, I was thinking about this just the other day. I don't ever remember, and maybe it's because I wasn't paying attention that people flew political figures flags all the time.
Jennifer
They didn't. And here's what happened. Here's my memory of the timeline of this. So 911 happens, and journalists go over to the Middle east and they're filming Al Qaeda. And Al Qaeda had these trucks in the desert with Al Qaeda flags in the back of them, and they wore like masks, and they just kind of like four wheeled around the desert with their guns doing jihadi shit, right? And I remember seeing it like, wow, so they don't have a country, and so they put their flag on their truck. That's what my mind deduced. Right? So then it went on and then went into isis. Then ISIS had the truck, trucks with the flags. All right, so that was my. That's all I knew about that. Then Trump comes around, and then we've got the American Taliban that starts up with the trucks with the Trump flags. And these are the same people that are like, those Islamist countries hate us for our freedom. They don't like us because we're free will of freedom in the Constitution. And turn to find out, come to find out, they don't like either. They just like Trump. Right? And so they drive around just like these jihadist terrorists did in the desert, and they do it around America as though somebody Rainbow flags and I don't know, pronouns. Drag queens are somehow affecting their personal life. And it's Absolutely not.
Angie
It's absolutely not true. Yeah, I completely. I think you're right about that. When I was thinking about it, I do remember those trucks going around and now we have the Trump flea market with all kinds of flags. It's nuts.
Jennifer
But I think that the common thread, the link there is that obviously Al Qaeda, obviously isis, a religious extremist, it's a cult. And then you could go down the thought track that people here would have the same kind of instincts about being in a cult. Get your truck, get your flag, cram it down everybody's throat. Now, the thing about the rainbow flag is people put that up in businesses or gay pride events, but you don't see, like, trucks with gay pride flags driving around. Like, to the extent that you do MAGA stuff, it's. It's insane. If you get out to like rural Oklahoma, where I had to go to Roman, some of Roman's basketball games, oh, my God. I was just like, holy shit. This is how he won. Yeah, he really reigns in these small towns. And they really feel like, like trans people and drag queens are going to come invade them and they're that triggered by it? Because I guess they're not that tough after all.
Angie
Right? Yeah, no, I.
Jennifer
Do. You know what I mean? Like. Like think about.
Angie
That's what's threatening.
Jennifer
Think about these men that drive these big trucks and put these big flags on them and wear their big belt buckles. They are triggered by drag queens.
Angie
Well, you know what? I'm going to say it's the teeny weeny police, because you're overcompensating on a massive scale. These men are. And when I look at what's going on in the political environment, not to get too political, like the one reviewer said, but all of these men, the through line is they have completely capitulated to one mate. They have not stood up for themselves. They've not stood up for their wives or their values because they've thrown themselves over for an orange face Oompa Loompa.
Jennifer
But he is their idealized form of masculinity, which I don't get. I get it. Because he has been able to. He has that money. He tells people the rules don't apply to me. I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want. He does everything with impunity. And that is their dream, to be able to do that. So to me, it psychologically makes sense because it's like these people are broken and morally flawed from the jump. So if you're a morally flawed person and you're in a society where there are guardrails and accountability, you would have a problem with that. And then here comes your hero, bailed out, bankruptcies, you know, three baby mamas, you know, fucking porn stars. You know, he gets away with everything, lies with impunity, all this stuff. They're like, yes, yes, this is it. This is masculinity.
Angie
Oh, isn't that sad? And Anna Bully, no less.
Kylie
Okay, speaking of masculinity, up next we've got Luke, y'all.
D
It's Luke from Texas. And let me tell you what I had it with. I had it with men just in general, trying to be overly macho. And as a gay person, it's just pisses me the fuck off. But now I just decided I'm just going to start fucking with them. So I was talking to this one guy, one of my friends, and he was like, we were talking about our favorite fruit foods and he just goes, oh, I love sushi. And I was like, oh, that's pretty gay, you know? And he's like, wait, really? And I was like, yeah, chopsticks are so cunty. So that's what I'm doing. And it's the best way to cope, in my, my opinion. Because now he was like, oh, thank you so much. I'm just not going to be eating sushi anymore. But how stupid do you have to be to just not eat your favorite food because one person told you it looked gay? But that's what I've had it with. Y'all have a great day.
Jennifer
I think that one person has probably been turned on watching porn.
Angie
Yeah.
Jennifer
By a hardcock at some point. And there's just some insecurity there instead of like, doesn't mean, you know, you're gay or straight or whatever. But that situation in and of itself turned it on. But the conservative movement is so rigid and so centered on a very black and white worldview. And nothing can be, you know, seen outside of that. And living here in this state as a, an atheist, I mean, my whole childhood and early adult life, it's this pressure that you have to be a Christian. You just absolutely, positively have to be a Christian. And of course I'm not one. Based on the behavior of the people who were soliciting me non stop and the people who still continue to do so. But it's just, it's the whole gay thing and their obsession with the gay thing here in a dream world. This is what I wish could happen. This is a fantasy. I wish that all of the gays all of them. The, you know, know, LGBTQ plus is all of them and all of the industries that they work in could ban, had the money and the time without being personally impacted by it, to ban all MAGA customers, to cancel the out of them and saying, yeah, yeah, we are cancel culture. You. Because I think you can see the Mar a Lago fashion. You see, it's void of gay leadership.
Angie
Absolutely.
Jennifer
You see in what's going. All the Mar a Lago face and all the stuff that's going on, I'm like, you can totally tell that this whole place is void of gay leadership in a creative space. Yeah.
Angie
They need gays down there to help them. I'll tell you what, I, you know, it's just really telling to me that this guy on the back of his head is worried about his sexuality because why would like, like, if you said, angie, only lesbians eat sushi, I'd be like, okay, whatever, you know what I mean? Don't you think it's weird that he got triggered by that?
Jennifer
I think that it's what I just said previously, that at some point he has been aroused.
Angie
Okay, sorry, I missed that. My bad.
Jennifer
By something bisexual or something just straight out gay. There's an insecurity in there because if somebody. I play pickleball all the time with a bunch of lesbians, it doesn't make me think, oh, my God, I'm not going to be straight anymore. I'm not going to want to fucking Josh anymore. You know, I don't have that insecurity about it. I don't even think about it. Never. All I think about is I do think genetically lesbians could be better athletes because they always kick my ass. That's a personal theory. I'm not a scientist, I'm not a geneticist, but I think I've got some, you know, anecdotal evidence here that lesbians are better athletes than me and my straight friends. Yeah.
Angie
I'll tell you who else is like that. Jesse Waters. He talks about gay non stop. What gay men do. I think there's a somebody sitting in the closet over at his house.
Jennifer
I think at the epicenter of a lot of the MAGA movement is, especially with the men, is a ton of probably a lot of porn watching. And they get sometimes turned on more by the male than they do the female. And then after they get the rocks off, it's like, oh, shit, that was pretty gay. And then they go into denial and then they see somebody, you know, that has a rainbow flag or they hear about, you know, gay men having shame free, you know, completely consensual transactional sex. And they're so insanely jealous because the Moses Mike's, the Josh Hawley's, the J.D. vance's, you know, it's just this closet case. And here's something else I want to say. I think there's a special place in hell and I'm an atheist. I don't even believe in hell, but metaphorically for the Scott Besants who is the Secretary of the treasury, who's an out of the closet gay man, and then Peter till out of the closet gay man, both of these men are married and that they are like the biggest demon queens on the planet to support Trump and Trumpism, who on his truth social did the pink triangle and with a line through it, which is what Adolf Hitler put on gay people when he sent them to concentration camps and they don't speak up. And that just lack of conviction. I've decided moving forward in my adult life in the MAGA era, lack of convict conviction in people is the least admirable attribute that I see in people. And it makes, it's very off putting to me when people say one thing over here and then they say another thing over there and they feel nothing about that disconnect. It doesn't morally trigger them that and that's what I think a lot of MAGA people do MAGA women in my life, which I don't have in my life anymore. But they'll, you know, go to a gay hairdresser and then while they're sitting there somehow try to lecture the hairdresser about transgender rights. But then they go back to their MAGA households and are like, I'm not homophobic. You know, this gay guy cuts my hair.
Angie
Yeah. And that's rampant. It's everywhere.
Jennifer
All right guys, that's all we have for today. Thank you for tuning in. Pumps.
Angie
Tell em we will see you next Tuesday and Thursday.
Jennifer
I'll tell you what I've had it with.
D
Let's hear it.

Jennifer
A little bit more enthusiasm.
Angie
Caca.
Jennifer
That's it. That's the patriotism that this country needs right there.
Podcast Summary: "Donald's Demon Queens" – I've Had It
Title: Donald's Demon Queens
Host/Authors: Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Release Date: May 6, 2025
In the "Donald's Demon Queens" episode of I've Had It, hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan delve into the pervasive issues surrounding accountability in public figures, the impact of the MAGA movement, and the intersection of social justice with contemporary American society. Through candid discussions, listener submissions, and humorous anecdotes, Welch and Sullivan offer a comedic yet incisive critique of current sociopolitical dynamics.
Angie opens the episode expressing frustration with leaders who refuse to take responsibility for their actions, highlighting Donald Trump as a prime example:
"I have more respect for people when they say, you know what? I messed up and I apologize." [02:19]
Jennifer echoes this sentiment, critiquing the MAGA movement for its aversion to accountability and the cultivation of a “persecution complex”. She remarks:
"They are so accountability adverse... Maybe apologize for doing Nazi salutes." [03:40]
The hosts discuss how figures like Elon Musk contribute to this culture by distancing themselves from accountability, suggesting a broader societal decline in accepting mistakes and fostering genuine remorse.
Jennifer recounts a personal experience at an Oklahoma City Thunder NBA playoff game where she and Angie encountered a woman who refused to wear the provided team T-shirt, leading to a tense standoff:
"I'm not putting the shirt on. I mean, if we start losing or something, sure, by then I'll put it on." [09:01]
This incident serves as a microcosm of the larger frustrations the hosts feel towards individuals who challenge collective norms and exhibit entitlement. Angie adds her perspective on the societal implications:
"What makes you think you're better than everybody else in the stadium. Why are you special?" [10:04]
The confrontation underscores themes of conformity, community spirit, and the resistance some exhibit against collective participation.
Jennifer and Angie critique the current social justice movements, arguing that these movements have redirected focus away from significant issues like tax evasion by the wealthy. Jennifer states:
"The reason that you can't have nice things is... Jeff Bezos doesn't pay taxes, Elon Musk doesn't pay taxes." [42:49]
They assert that the emphasis on identity politics, pronouns, and rainbow flags distracts from systemic problems, such as economic inequality and corporate malfeasance. The hosts stress the necessity of prioritizing substantial societal issues over performative activism.
The episode features several listener submissions, each highlighting unique frustrations:
Kylie shares a humorous take on redesigning Jennifer's door sign to screen out various stereotypes and undesired behaviors:
"If you get these people, like, what the are you doing?" [13:08]
Corwin discusses irritations with overly long job titles and redundant email signatures in corporate environments:
"Why is your job title 46 words long?" [30:02]
Luke from Texas voices his disdain for men exhibiting toxic masculinity, sharing his experiences of mocking hyper-macho behaviors:
"I've had it with men just in general, trying to be overly macho." [48:41]
These submissions provide a platform for listeners to voice their everyday frustrations, reflecting broader societal tensions.
The hosts engage in a deep dive into how the MAGA movement affects notions of masculinity. Jennifer reflects on the allure of figures like Trump, describing how their unaccountable behavior sets unrealistic standards for masculinity:
"He tells people the rules don't apply to me. I can do whatever the fuck I want when I want." [47:08]
Angie adds that this extreme model of masculinity leaves followers morally and emotionally compromised:
"That's what's threatening... These men are completely capitulated to one mate." [48:36]
The discussion highlights the toxic influence of idolizing flawed leaders and the psychological toll it takes on their followers.
To balance the heavy topics, the hosts infuse humor through lighthearted segments:
Beavers' Lifelong Partnerships: They draw parallels between beavers’ monogamous behavior and their own dynamics, playfully referring to themselves as “queen beavers”.
"Beavers build and maintain their lodges together... That's what you and me. I do too." [06:06]
Strippers at Chinese Funerals: Jennifer shares an odd cultural practice with comedic flair, finding humor in the juxtaposition of funerals and stripper performances.
"I've gotta say, I would love nothing more than to go to a funeral and have a sex worker do a little side performance." [25:21]
These segments provide levity and showcase the hosts' ability to find humor in the absurdities of cultural practices.
As the episode wraps up, Jennifer and Angie reinforce their call for accountability and resistance against performative social justice. They emphasize the importance of focusing on meaningful societal changes over superficial activism.
Jennifer humorously introduces their new podcast, IHIP News, encouraging listeners to engage further with their content:
"It's called IHIP News. It's Monday through Friday every day, 15 to 20 minute hot takes on the political landscape of the United States of America." [55:01]
The episode concludes with a blend of humor and solemnity, leaving listeners with a potent mix of laughter and critical reflection on the state of American society.
