Josh
So are we supposed to start the podcast?
Pumps
Ready? One, two, three.
Josh
Patriots gay trio. Josh Welch is here. Josh, can you.
Fabiola
Hello? Hello. Hello.
Josh
Can you.
Pumps
Ah.
Fabiola
What am I supposed to do? I don't know. Can I. What?
Pumps
Like, you need to do the arms.
Josh
You gotta.
Fabiola
I don't know.
Pumps
I love it.
Fabiola
Am I supposed to be like a puppet here on the show?
Josh
You're absolutely. It's our bird. We're trying to be somewhat like.
Fabiola
That's right.
Josh
We're trying not to, like, pre surrender to fascism.
Fabiola
Okay.
Josh
We have a bird. It used to be the eagle, but now it's some other bird.
Fabiola
I'll be more performative.
Josh
Okay.
Fabiola
So my apologies.
Josh
Thank you. All right, let's start with pumps. Pumps. What have you had it with?
Pumps
What I've had it with is when people cut in line at a double drive through, you're supposed to alternate order, go up, alternate. The next person from the next line goes up. Last two times I've been in a line, the person that it's not their turn slams in front of me behind the car. It screws up everybody's order. I can't stand it. I'm like, how much time are you saving? Maybe a minute. And you're just showing your fucking dick. And I'm impatient and I can't stand it. I hate it. I've had it. Obey the customs and rules of a double drive.
Fabiola
Does it. Does it screw up the food that they bring out because someone else is cut in line?
Jennifer
Yes.
Fabiola
And it disrupts the whole process.
Pumps
It disrupts everything. The person brings your order and then they have to go back because they have the wrong order, because you have some asshole that thought they had to be first.
Fabiola
I've seen it. But I think you could apply that situation in all of life. The pettiness of human beings wanting to say, 5 seconds, 10 seconds.
Pumps
That's true. And a lot of times that's me. So I can't get too big on my high horse. But in a drive through, I. I observe the customs and norms everywhere else.
Josh
Probably not listener the grievances. When I dine with either of the people seated next to me, whether it be a drive through, a, you know, walk up, order a restaurant, the standard that the person on the right and the person on my left hold these restaurants to is the highest of standards.
Pumps
I would say it's more just competence. Just a bare competence. And I would also say that, like a month ago, there was some deal on social media that said if you could win a million dollars if you took somebody to a restaurant that would complain about something in the restaurant, who would it be? And I immediately forwarded it to Josh, and I was like, we found each other.
Josh
This is us 100%.
Pumps
Yeah.
Fabiola
And I want to discl up front that. That I'm an awful human being to serve at a restaurant. Awful. Just horrific.
Josh
I noticed that you. When we go to a restaurant, Josh is so used to bucking the system, it's like his default setting. So he looks at an item on the menu and let's say it says cheeseburger. And then the description says bun, meat, cheese. Josh kind of looks at it because he's ready. He's gunning to exclude things. He's gunning to buck the system. He's like, so you're telling me that it's just meat and cheese and bread? That's it? And the person's like, yeah, that's what the menu says. He goes, you're not putting pickles on there? And they're like, no. And I'm like, accept it. You don't have to be a dick today. Accept it.
Kylie
Take it as a w. I start.
Fabiola
To salivate when I see things I can exclude. Literally, my mouth starts watering. I get to ask the person about what's on this. And then my favorite go to. We haven't gotten to my. I've had it. Had a chip, and I don't want to steal your show, but my favorite go to at a restaurant is to say, I want you to prepare this as if you're making it for a fifth grader. And you say that across the board, whether it's a Coca Cola, whether it's a sandwich, ham and cheese, whether it's a Cheeseburger. Pretend like you're in fifth grade. What would that person want on the sandwich? They would want the meat, they would want the cheese. Maybe mustard, maybe not very simple. I don't want some special dressing that we don't know of that your brand makes. That's kind of an unknown. We don't want to risk that. I don't want pickles that may be not traditional dill pickles. They're going to be bigger and different. So anyway, I love to dissect that shit. And it's always someone who's about 18 years old making minimum wage thinking to themselves, God, why am I dealing with this fucking asshole?
Pumps
He is such a dick. Yeah, I will give you just a little prop up in that. There are some restaurants that say what's on the burger? In the description. They say meat, cheese, bread or whatever. But at the top when it, when you're talking about all their different burgers, they'll say all burgers come with lettuce and tomato. But it's not in the immediate description. So I'm going to say Josh, I don't mind that because you're just confirming you're making it. You're trying to enhance the ability of the restaurant to succeed.
Fabiola
That's right. And I think they're going to slip one over on me too. That even though, like Jennifer said, it may just say meat, cheese, I don't know that I trust that. A lot of these restaurants have these special sauces they like to put on their own cheeseburgers. So I'm a little bit untrusting of, of getting it as, as they advertise it. So.
Josh
And he often now a new thing that he started doing is after he verbally waterboards this poor aforementioned teen making minimum wage, then he looks at them with this sociopathic smile and says, thank you for your service.
Pumps
Yeah, yeah.
Fabiola
It's like the other day I was getting something and the girl said, here, would you take a survey? And I said, absolutely not. But you're doing a fantastic job. I wanted to pepper the no, I'm not doing that with a little bit of a. But you're doing great. You should be proud of the job you're doing.
Josh
But let's talk about this. You went and you bought some bundt cakes.
Fabiola
That's right.
Josh
And you put the poor girl through all of the questioning and all other things for these pre made cakes. It's not like you're ordering it, then they're baking it. They're all made. And you probably had, you know, Peppered her with all sorts of questions.
Fabiola
Torture.
Josh
Torture. And then at the end, does she hand you a receipt?
Fabiola
She hands me a receipt, invites me to take a survey. And if I take the survey, I can get some sort of a discount, and then I'll be on their list of shit that they send out about their bundt cakes. I mean, there's about three things I could identify in that that I want no part of. I think it's obvious. Like, I want less interaction about the bundt cakes. If you're going to rate the bundt cakes on a SC of 1 to 10, they're tens. They're the best that you can get.
Josh
What about the service?
Fabiola
Service is a 10. The service is great. The staff is great. The ladies that work there are fantastic human beings. I don't want to text about a bundt cake. I don't want to take a survey about a bundt cake. I don't want to get communications about sales that are going on where I can save 10% on the bundt cake. I want none of that. Like, if I'm in the middle of court or in the middle of a client's crisis, I. I don't want to look down and get information about how I can save 80 cents on a fucking bunt cake.
Josh
Let me ask you this. Do you want the receipt?
Fabiola
None of it. I don't want any verification that I've ever been there other than I want to eat it.
Pumps
That's it.
Fabiola
That's it. That's it. Last communication.
Josh
Let me tell you what I've had it with. And this is a seasonal thing that comes up with Josh and me. And it all goes back to the cinnamon roll cinnamon roll gate that longtime listeners know about. That was bad last Christmas when Josh stole the center of my cinnamon roll. Well, this Thanksgiving, Josh said, hey, I bought some cinnamon rolls and they're in the refrigerator. And I said, okay, I'll bake them, because everybody knows how domestic I am. And so as I'm, you know, baking them, and I accidentally burned the first round, I think it was an oven malfunction. That's neither here nor there. But for round, I had the original frosting from the burnt cinnamon rolls. So when the second round came out, I was able to put two little cups of frosting on one container of cinnamon rolls. So I have had it with Pillsbury being stingy with the icing for the cinnamon rolls they need to offer. When you. When you sell cinnamon rolls, you can get the normal amount for normal people that live their life in moderation. The double the frosting for the, you know, sugar fiend junkie Americans. More is more. More icing like the three of us here. And so I've had it with Pillsbury being stingy with the icing. And if anybody from Pillsbury listens to this podcast, when the sales quadruple once you announce the double icing thing, don't forget your friends over. And I've had it.
Fabiola
That's genius. To have an option of double icing.
Josh
Double icing.
Fabiola
Yeah, it's genius. And I even thought after you prepared that great Thanksgiving traditional meal breakfast, I even thought, you know, I may start buying just two things of cinnamon rolls and just throwing one away just to have the extra icing. Yeah, that's how much I enjoy it.
Josh
That's how much of a need there is.
Pumps
Right? I agree.
Fabiola
Yeah. It's just that I'm not gonna cook these extra five. I don't want em. I want double the icing for these five.
Josh
Right?
Fabiola
Yeah. I'm a hundred percent.
Josh
It'll make that center bite that you steal from me in the future that much more delicious.
Fabiola
I was gonna say you didn't do that justice in the way that you teed that up. That center bite of yours was. It was like a masterpiece that you had orchestrated with all the icing, carving it out from the sides and putting it in the middle, putting it on top of the cinnamon roll and then getting ready to take it out.
Josh
Are you trying to pick a fight with me? Because when I'm reminded of my ability to delay gratification, to eat the outsides first and wait and save the best bite for last, and that you moved in when I was looking at our children being a mother, I mean, mothering. I was mothering our children. The center of my cinnamon roll was sociopathically eaten.
Fabiola
The temptation. I just could not normally I. In a setting like that, I can exert some sort of.
Josh
No, you can't.
Fabiola
That is a lie. I've never done that.
Josh
You are lying. But I'm never bullshit. You always superior bite shop. You superior bite shop my plate. And you've been doing it for decades. You are lying right here on this podcast saying that you had never done that before. You were the biggest bite thief.
Fabiola
That's true. Ever been around. It just reminded me of the ravioli bite in Italy.
Josh
Oh, my God.
Fabiola
That you could probably spend 15 or 20 minutes on.
Josh
Oh, my God.
Fabiola
It's like just a classic that I'll tee up for you since I'm going to get browbeat this morning, I really want to have it done properly.
Josh
Okay. This is terrible. This was worse than the cinnamon roll.
Fabiola
Listing a million times.
Josh
Okay, so we go to. We're in Capri for my birthday celebration. Pumps is there. A bunch of our other friends are there. And we go to one of my favorite restaurants, and they have the most delicious ravioli. Caprese. It is unbelievable. These little raviolis are like little pillows sitting on top of the most delicious marinara. And so the staff comes out to sing Happy Birthday to myself and my friend Liz, who is also celebrating her birthday. The staff come out, and they're playing Dancing Queen, and they have tambourines that they pass out to everybody. Me, being a dancing queen, obviously grabbed a tambourine and stood up, and we're dancing and we're going through the whole thing. Now. I had eaten probably. I think that's maybe six raviolis on the plate. I'd probably eaten four. And I had decided I was going to save my final two raviolis for after my Dancing Queen celebration with the other patrons and the staff at La Campanina restaurant on the island of Capri. While I'm dancing and hanging out, I end up sitting back down, and I have my tambourine. Josh reaches over and grabs a ravioli off my plate. Unauthorized. Didn't ask me if he could have it. This fork that I had goes flying on my cream outfit. I had on the most darling silk boucle Gucci shorts that were so cute, and the marinara goes all over them. And I am so distraught. And I'm just like, why am I married to this person? Why. Why is this always happening to me? The cinnamon roll and now the marinara.
Fabiola
The marinara was a million times worse because you'd just gotten these Gucci shorts and your outfit was impeccable.
Pumps
It was.
Fabiola
And then I reach over again. Just undisciplined, selfish, impulsive, impulsive, narcissistic. Everything's about me. I reach over. It wasn't just taking the bite. Just taking the bite would have been a gift. It was the fact that I splashed her with marinara sauce on these new white shorts. And let me just say this. We've survived five inpatient treatment visits.
Kylie
Yeah.
Fabiola
I'm not sure after this happened that we were going to survive this. This might have been the straw, the marinara on the shorts, all. I took an unauthorized bite of the ravioli. I'm not sure.
Josh
You just go in like an uncaged animal. You just go in and you just take it with reckless disregard. Just like, you did the cinnamon roll. And then we get back to the hotel room, and he does feel terrible, because one thing Josh values are his outfits. Right? Okay. So he actually had more empathy with me regarding the shorts than he ever did the cinnamon roll. And so he's like, oh, my God, I'm sorry. That sucks. Blah, blah. So I send the to be dry cleaned. They come back and they've shrunken, and I'm just. I'm just. I still. It's been several months, but I still think about that. And I just think what happened to my life?
Fabiola
Well, that even under my standards, that was really bad. Like, it was really bad because there was the tambourine. There was the celebration of this birthday party for you, for Liz, the music. And then I literally reach over, like, this, splash the fork. And just as it happened, it douses her. And then she looks at me, and I'm just like, oh, fuck yeah. You know, this is gonna be a bad one. This is gonna be a bad one. Sure enough, it was every bit as bad as I thought it would be. It was horrible.
Josh
Listener, this may come as a total shock to you, but Pumps and I have not always been this pulled together rock solid. In fact, we used to be rather screwed up. Wouldn't you say, Pumps?
Pumps
I would say damn near psychotic.
Josh
Totally. And we have written a cell phone expose.
Kylie
One could even say it's a manifesto.
Josh
And the book title is Life is.
Pumps

Josh
Welcome to I've Had It. I'm Jennifer.
Pumps
I'm Angie.
Josh
She is America's greatest legal mind. Possibly. But we have, as you've heard, Josh Welch in studio with us today. Josh, what have you had it with?
Fabiola
I've had it with premature tipping at restaurants. When I say premature, there are some restaurants that ask for the tip on the iPad before they provide the service. Is everybody familiar with that?
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Pumps
Oh, yeah.
Fabiola
So you get into this quagmire. I always like to give at least 20%. Sometimes maybe more, sometimes maybe a little less. But 20% is my standard. If I give above that and then, for example, my order gets fucked up, or I'm there for 30 minutes when it should have taken 10, there's no way for me to rescind the tip. There's no way for me to go back in and review it and say, hey, listen, I gave you guys 25% on this thing, and this has been a colossal fucking nightmare. I think that's unfair. There should be some way for me to go back in and ask for part of that tip back. Or we just do it all at the very end when they provide the food and you get to walk out the door. Because we're talking about takeout. I'm not talking about a tip for serving me at the restaurant. I'm talking about I go in, I like to give them a tip. I like to pick the food up, I like to leave. Well, then I do that, and then I end up sitting there sometimes 15, 20 minutes, and I'm just thinking, God, what kind of world do we live in? You're getting an excellent tip for fucking horrible service.
Pumps
Yeah, it's a huge skirt of the system because the system is designed to applaud or say, good job with your.
Fabiola
Tip once you've performed the service.
Pumps
Right. But you got to know how the service is performed before you can make that determination. Yeah, and I'm with you. I always like to give 20, 25% just because I'm like, it's not the restaurant's fault they don't pay. I mean, it's not the employees fault. They don't pay the restaurant workers enough. You have to tip them. But no, it's a skirt. It's a skirt.
Josh
Same thing happens With Doordash or Uber Eats, you fill out your form online and then you check out and you go ahead and pre tip and then you get your order and the stuff that you asked to be excluded or not excluded, they're actually included. And then you might have asked for a specific side and that's not included. And then certain items are completely left off and you've already gone in 25% for the delivery guy and the delivery guy should have checked it prior to bringing it and you have no, there's, there's no recourse. And what this goes to is to corporate America that values profits, makes, puts the burden of paying these working class people for the lowest wage, puts it on the consumer, which many. You know, the 20% tip is quite expensive. And so I mean, you know, we've been talking about this for a long time, but I mean it's just a huge problem.
Fabiola
Yeah. And there's one thing I want to add that and I fall prey to this every single time. Doordash or Postmates, they have some super fast feature where for an additional like 299 or 399, you can get it, you know, seven to eight minutes faster. In theory. I fall prey to that goddamn thing every single time. And it takes longer than had you just normally ordered it. And every time I'm like, how do I get in the app and un fucking do this? Like I don't want to pay that. I don't want to ever. And then three nights later I'm at home doordashing, press the same goddamn thing again. It's insanity.
Pumps
I do it every day.
Fabiola
Fall prey to it. Yeah, every day never works. It's the biggest fraud.
Pumps
Here's my thing. I didn't realize that people that were uber eating or deliverers were getting two or three different people's order from the same restaurant and then delivering them on their way. Well, your food's automatically going to be colder and worse.
Fabiola
Yeah.
Pumps
So I do the direct to you feature. I don't understand why it takes longer if you're taking one order to one house. It makes no sense every time.
Fabiola
You should be able to pull the tip too. If you're going to, you know, get three people in the same neighborhood, then those same three people should be able to pull together for a tip instead of have to individually tip.
Josh
I don't have a problem tipping. I have a problem with the corporations getting away with putting the burden of paying these salaries on the end consumer. That's my problem.
Pumps
Oh, absolutely.
Josh
Okay, Kylie, Katarina, do you have anything that you can share with us and with our guest Josh, regarding what people say about us on the world wide web?
Christine
I do, and we are under a hundred reviews away from our goal of 12k.
Josh
It's only taken a very long time, so thank you listeners. I'm super excited about it.
Fabiola
Wow.
Josh
Okay.
Christine
Christine leaves us a five star review and she says thank F for y'all. And she writes, the world needs more atheism, drag queens, lesbians and meemaw meet curtain law advice. Thanks for fighting the good fight, you feisty broads. Hashtag blessed because of you. Hashtag on the way to 12K.
Josh
Yay.
Pumps
Wow, that is an engaged listener.
Josh
That is an engaged listener. And I do agree the world needs more secularism.
Christine
Okay, this one is 5 stars from Fabiola titled My girlfriend hates you. She writes. First of all, I want to thank my tick tock algorithm for bringing this podcast into my life. One morning, my girlfriend, to which I have a long distance relationship, calls me fuming because I forgot to call her as I promised I would. See, I have ADHD and I usually have a hectic hair pulling morning trying to get my 7 year old out the door into school. So after dropping him off, my very smart phone suggested your latest podcast. So I cranked the volume up and got all my petty grievances out and loud as I drove to my next appointment, completely forgetting to call her back. Eight minutes into my joyous ride, my girlfriend interrupts my favorite podcast by the ceremoniously, you forgot to call me. Needless to say, she's not a fan of you guys because this has happened more times than I can remember. P S Pumps actually has a husky like the four legged kind. All this time I've been thinking it was her vag needing some shaving. Disappointed.
Josh
It's both. It's both, listener. It's both. She does have an actual Siberian husky named Blaze, to whom she is not that great of a pet owner.
Pumps
I am kind of a good pet.
Josh
No, you're not.
Pumps
Not like Ollie, but cold.
Josh
You shave him. I don't even want to get into it. But then she also has a vag that we started referring to as the Siberian husky. And all I can say down there is, I think it is quite cold.
Fabiola
Wow. Wow.
Pumps
Okay, we know it's neglected either way.
Josh
All right, I have some news I would like to share. American Airlines flight was diverted after Oregon man, 25 years old, exposes himself and urinates in the aisle. An American Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency Landing after a passenger allegedly exposed himself and urinated in the aisle. Authority said the 25 year old man was arrested and charged with indecent exposure. In a statement to people, American Airlines said American Eagle Flight 3921 was traveling from Chicago to Manchester, New Hampshire when it made the emergency landing at Buffalo Niagara International Airport due to a disruptive customer. McCarthy allegedly told police during questioning that he enjoys drinking Jack and Coke and had multiple before boarding his flight in Portland, Oregon and then several more during his layover in Chicago, the complaint states. Counselor Josh Welch. What, what, what is, what do you have to say about this?
Fabiola
Well, I can relate to Jack and Cokes. I remember those days of Jack and Cokes. It sounds like Mr. McCarthy needs to clean up his, his act a little bit. Unfortunately, being intoxicated is not necessarily a defense to committing some sort of criminal offense like exposing your private parts to other members or other passengers on a plane. So I think normally in situations like this, you can always identify the problem as being drugs or alcohol.
Josh
Yeah.
Fabiola
And that, I think, is what happened here. Mr. McCarthy was bellowing back a few Jack and Cokes before the flight. He was bellowing back a few Jack and Cokes during the flight. At some point, his judgment became impaired and he thought that pulling out his penis, I assume, was a good idea. If in fact that's what happened.
Josh
Yeah.
Fabiola
And I'm sure, you know, the next day or two, it kind of dawned on him what a fucking disaster this is. And he shouldn't have had that much to drink.
Josh
Here's what I have to say about this. It being around drunk people is intolerable. The only way you can handle it is if you yourself are drunk as well. And so you have this situation where you see these things that are going on at the airport, which we have. You know, if you've listened to this podcast for the last two years, you've realized that these places are very hostile places for human beings to navigate airports, particularly when you get on airplanes. So what should be done about, you know, people just getting all liquored up and then the layovers and then you've got some drunk ass passenger. Remember that time that I got into it with those people? Oh, yeah, To Mexico. They were hammered.
Pumps
They showed up hammered, they drank the whole flight. By the end of the flight, you just fucking blew their doors off.
Fabiola
Yeah. The thing that I've noticed about, and you mentioned airports, it seems like people are just wound up a lot more people are just meaner, whether it's in person. Like everybody's uptight. Nobody just wants to be kind. If somebody want. And occasionally you run into someone, it's like that. But you know, if someone needs to go first, let them go first. You know, be nice, say you're welcome, Go ahead. Just everybody is, you know, especially in airplanes. Like, it is pretty much, you know, if you nudge into someone or something. Everyone's looking for an excuse just to become unraveled, just to bitch at you.
Pumps
My theory on this is you're asking the entire public to behave in the same way. And there's just a lot of people that cannot conform their behavior to, quote unquote, normal. They just. They want to be an asshole all the time.
Fabiola
And they're mad.
Pumps
Dig it? They're mad. They like it. Normally they're MAGA voters, but that's. I don't know about that. That's just my opinion. Okay. I do have one thing about that, though. When you said he was drunk versus just a nut, I was kind of relieved because I was like, what the is wrong with him that he's pulling out his weenie and peeing in an airplane? So. And I was just like, did he have a psychotic break? Was there some kind of episode? So honestly, when you told me he was shit faced, I was kind of relieved. This goes back to winning him on the no Fly List. I mean, it just has to happen.
Josh
The I've had it. No Fly List is something that the country desperately needs.
Pumps
Desperately needs.
Josh
I mean, we need to have. And we can be the committee.
Pumps
Absolutely. I'm happy to do all the reviewing.
Josh
I am too. Okay, the next story is single women are happier than single men. According to science, single women are happier than single men and aren't in a rush to partner up anytime soon. A new study says that heterosexual relationships lead to, quote, more rewards for men and more costs for women. All right, pumps. You are a single woman with your Siberian husky. Both to two of them. Two Siberian huskies. Are you happier?
Pumps
Infinitely happier. I absolutely. I agree with all of that. I think it's true. I.
Josh
Let me ask you this. In the last several years that you've been single, I have two questions for you, okay? And they're both, yes or no, has anybody eaten the center of a cinnamon roll that you delayed gratification to have as your very last reward bite?
Pumps
No, they have not.
Josh
Okay, second question. After you got a really cute little outfit for your 50th birthday and you're all dolled up, looking as good as you could possibly look at your age, did any partner or man or anybody in your life take an unauthorized bite of your food and ruin your darling little shorts that you splurged on with marinara sauce.
Pumps
No, they did not.
Josh
Okay, so let me go back. This article says. Hang on. I want to read one little sentence here that I thought was the quote from the scientist is more rewards for men and more costs for women. Josh, what are your opinions on this?

I seem to be hashtag winning. I seem to be getting the good side of this deal. I think there's a lot of truth in that. It seems like women, they provide a lot of the. They have to absorb a lot of the bullets, a lot of the hits at the man's expense. I think they're stronger willed. I think that they're tougher. I think there's a lot of truth in that. I think in every relationship you see, a good woman has kind of absorbed bad things that have happened and made both of them better. I think that would be applicable to me and Jennifer.
Josh

Kylie
That follows.
Josh
Something I've noticed, I would say probably around the last 18 months with pumps. And I have always found that when people go out of their way to make declarative statements multiple times, you have to say, why did they keep saying this? And the statement, declarative statement that pumps has made multiple times over the last 18 months is as follows. I will never date an inmate. I will never date anybody that is currently in jail. To me, this is so obvious that you wouldn't date a prisoner. I've never felt like I needed to say, yeah, I'm not going to date somebody who's in prison or I'm not going to date somebody who's in the loony bin. Because in my brain it's a foregone conclusion. And, you know, it's kind of like when you hear somebody who's a big bible thumper going on and on and on, you're like, oh, we know what's going on with their Google search history. So pumps, I have, I have to ask you, number one, why do you keep telling everybody this? You've done it on our podcast, you've done it at live shows. You've also done it in private. Just like you and me having a conversation on an airplane, avoiding somebody, you know, urine stream flying at us. And I, I want to know why you feel the need to declare this so vociferously.
Pumps
Well, the only thing I can think of is that I didn't, I didn't have a clue that there was like a match, like a love hookup site for people in prison and outside people. And then I got it was while we were touring, and I can't remember what city it was in, but we were there like three or four hours early. And. And we each had our own dressing rooms, and my TV was on, and it was about people that get married to somebody in prison. And I just. I sat there and I was glued to it. I could not.
Josh
Interesting.
Pumps
Take my eyes off that.
Josh
Captivated by it.
Pumps
I was captivated. I was like, what in the fuck is happening that these people are going to marry someone they've never met, that's in prison? So then after I got off the road, I binged the entire series because I just fascinated me. And, you know, I was fascinated with the. Then. This was 20 years ago. I'm not cool doing it now. But I read the Menendez wife's book, and they met and married in prison. I just find that whole situation so fascinating. But I will say this. I did watch the show about people that get married when the partner's in prison, and then the minute they come out, they just. It's like immediate falls apart, which you would think, well, of course, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it's something about the commitment issues. Like, it's great to have the commitment to somebody that you don't have to see or really have a commitment with. And I think on some level, I kind of identify with that a little bit.
Kylie
This is.
Josh
This is the heart of the matter that I want us to get to. I think when you. You've said it, I. I'm thinking it's like a dozen times, oh, probably I would never date somebody in prison. I will never date an inmate. It's like me saying, I will never shoot up meth. You know, I mean, it's just. And if you heard me say that like a dozen times, you would think, I think Jennifer wants to shoot up meth. That's what she would. That's the conclusion that you would ultimately make, don't you think, Kylie?
Christine
Yeah, it's like Mike Johnson talking about how you shouldn't watch porn all the time. He's watching a ton of porn.
Josh
Right? Exactly. So. So here we have. Here's. Here's the case, and then we'll have Joshua in on this. Here are the facts as they stand. Pump starts making proclamations, declarative statements, announcements. She's not going to date an inmate. She's not dating somebody in prison. Multiple times sustained declarative statements consistent over the past 18 months. Just a few minutes ago, everybody heard her kind of with glee talk about the fascination of this dating site and These women that go and visit. And then we heard about the binge watching and I saw like, I could. I could feel like the chills. I could feel the pheromonal impact over here is how. I mean, I'm like, she's. She really likes the danger and the excitement of this.
Pumps
Do you want me to add something that makes. Makes you sound more right?
Josh
Yes, I do.
Pumps
I even. I have a girlfriend that watches the same show and we would talk about it all the time. We even got on the prisoner match comp.com thing just to look to see what it says, because it'll say straight up like, yes, he murdered five people. Yes, he's a rapist. But it has picture. So. Yeah, I mean, we didn't like pay or anything. You don't. You. It just pulls up and there's like thousands and thousands.
Josh
Makes perfect sense. The plot is thickening. Listener, as you've just heard, now we know that she has confessed that she has been on the dating website.
Pumps
I've looked at all.
Josh
I just think this is really, really interesting. And I think Pumps wants to marry one of the Menendez brothers. That's my opinion. Josh, what do you take make of all of this?
Fabiola
I've got a couple of observations. The first one is, is, are they to get on these apps, are they using illegal cell phones while in the Department of Corrections because you don't have a cell phone in prison.
Pumps
I have no idea.
Fabiola
So when they're uploading their profile picture, do they have a profile picture?
Pumps
It's a picture. I'm not. I can't remember. It's been a while. It maybe was like their mug shot.
Fabiola
Okay. I was going to say, are they in a jumpsuit?
Pumps
I think they were in jumpsuit.
Fabiola
If memory serves, both of you, I would pose this question. Have you been attracted to or dated people who belong in prison? Not in prison, but belong in prison?
Pumps
Yes.
Josh
I currently am married to somebody who belongs in prison, as evidenced by what we will refer to as cinnamon roll gate and Gucci short gate. Right.
Fabiola
Because I.
Josh
And there's no question that your ex husband should be incarcerated.
Fabiola
Right. Because I draw that distinction. The only difference in that question is, and the former, the person is actually in jail.
Pumps
Right.
Fabiola
Okay. But with the latter, there's no question the person belongs in jail, that he fits the criteria to be in jail. And I think both of you to a certain extent, can check that box.
Josh
Yeah, I do, too. There's no doubt.
Fabiola
That's not saying a whole lot about myself either.
Josh
I have the best idea that I have ever had in my entire life. And I know that the patriots and gay trios and natriots are 1 million percent with me on this. We all know this podcast is long past its prime and is set to face plant any.
Pumps
Any minute.
Josh
Any minute. I mean, the fact that it's still going is nothing short of miraculous and somehow miracle. Yeah, totally. All right, so you don't really want to go back to practicing law. I'll go, you know, just expand my design business back to where it was, so no problem. So the problem for you is what. What will Pumps do? We know for a fact that you also toy with this idea of being a dominatrix. It's come up multiple times in the podcast for me. No, Kylie can play the tapes. It's come up multiple times. This. This idea of you being a dominatrix and kind of brow beating these Republican men in a sexually degrading manner. Okay. We also know through all of these declarative statements, you're very obsessed. I would say consumed. Binge watching on spending all. All these hours on these match sites for these inmates. Hours upon hours upon hours. Y'all heard it. Kylie will play the tape again after this hours she's spending on this site. You could be a. A guard at a prison. No, I think I'm telling you. And. And get this. Your nickname could be the Siberian husky, and you could take your Siberian husky as your work dog.
Pumps
Oh, like my guard dog at work or whatever. Yes, Sniffer dog or whatever.
Josh
Yes. Yeah. And then you would have access to, you know, sex consensual, of course, with the inmates and potential. You could have multiple.
Pumps
Multiple boyfriends in jail. The only problem with that is it's illegal. They could go to jail for it. So I'm going to pass on that.
Josh
Right. Okay. I believe. I don't know if Josh knows this story. So our last live show that we did in New York, Pumps received two love letters from a gentleman, handwritten, that came to the show that's obsessed with Pumps, left his phone number, and it's been brought to my attention that he has now left a voice memo for Pumps. He is in hot pursuit, and I believe that he might not qualify to date her because I do not believe he is currently incarcerated. Kylie, will you please play this voice memo for us?
Christine
Yes. So he sent us an email and he said to call him DJ and he wants this played so he can humiliate himself one last time. And it's a response to you all and Jared Freed.
H
Hey, everyone, this is DJ from Brooklyn, AKA the man with the paper stack.
Josh
I heard he still fathered two kids.
Jennifer
Really?
H
And I'd like to respond to Jared Freed.
Kylie
It's actually pretty sweet. And he has the hots for you.
I
Love it.
Josh
So they pass the note to Pumps.
I
Who was he at the show with?
Josh
I think that's no one.
Pumps
I don't know.
I
Came along. Serial killer vibes.
H
Okay, so let's think this through. Who am I supposed to go there with? Who am I supposed to bring to the show? Another guy. Yeah, so bring along some charming guy who, unlike me, doesn't have a tiny dick. No, I'm not gonna block myself. Oh, bring a woman. Yeah, that always sends a clear message. Is she with him? Is she not? What's she doing there?
I
Oh, I know.
H
Yeah, yeah, bring a date. Nothing spells romance like going to chat up another woman.
I
We text, we make a plan. The minute you go to the second note, now that is what, like someone does who has captured your child.
H
What I should have done, should have done was get a VIP ticket, gone to the meet and greet like a human being. I would have introduced myself to both of you, told you how much the ihip podcast has meant to me. It's not as liberal in Brooklyn as people like to imagine. I'm a blue dot in a blood red MAGA cesspool. My family's biracial and queer, and I worry every day for our future. You ladies are some of the only people giving me hope. And on a more personal note, Pumps, I'd be honored if you go bike riding in Central park with me. Or we could go to my favorite bookstore. Here's my number. I'll just slink away now in embarrassment.
Fabiola
Do you even want a partner?
Pumps
I don't really want a partner. Okay, so I'm really selfish. I'm not a huge prize.
Josh
Shut the fuck up.
Pumps
I mean, New York.
I
You can meet him, like Roy once, two days.
Pumps
Yeah, Tons of fucking sex.
Josh
Yeah, he's the midlife Roy.
Pumps
Yeah, but I think he speaks. My point is talking. I don't like to talk a lot.
I
What's to talk about?
Pumps
You just think I'm all out of.
I
Love so lost without you I just wanna Whenever you come to the city every now.
Josh
Okay, here's what I have to say. Dj. Wow, I'm impressed. You're talented. The only hindrance I see for DJ at this moment is the fact that he's not incarcerated. That's the only. That's the only roadblock I see. Here's the thing. He's liberal. Yeah, he put a lot of effort into that.
Pumps
No, I mean, that was impressive. I'm gonna say that was impressive.
Josh
A lot of effort into that. He came. His argument about what do I do? Come with a guy and cockblock myself?
Pumps
Yeah, no, I mean, I'm impressed, Kyla. Are you impressed?
Christine
I am. And I have his phone number if you want it afterwards.
Pumps
Josh, what do you think?
Fabiola
Well, why aren't you pursuing this? I mean, what else you got on the menu?
Josh
Because he's not in jail. Because he's not in jail.
Fabiola
What else is on the menu here for you?
Pumps
Nothing.
Fabiola
What do you got to lose? You know, go get a bike. Go through Central park, you guys go.
Pumps
There's a bike. Really? So that can't work. Well, I could walk.
Fabiola
I think you need to expand and give this guy a chance. He put more effort into that goddamn thing than most men are ever gonna put into anything for you. So take advantage of it. Put yourself out there.
Pumps
Look at Josh being adorable.
Fabiola
Yeah, that's a lot of work.
Pumps
He went in.
Fabiola
That is, he went in and I.
Josh
Think he really likes you.
Fabiola
Yeah.
Josh
And you know what? I bet he makes declarative statements like, I'm not going to date pumps. I'm not going to date pumps, because secretly he wants to date pumps.
Pumps
I'll tell you what I didn't miss in that whole thing is that his dick's not small. That stuck out to me.
Fabiola
So it's not that. It's not. Yeah, yeah. And. And it seems like you could sort of hit it and quit it too. Like there doesn't have to be any soap opera makeout sessions.
Josh
You know, everything with pumps always goes back to the dick size too. I just. Our listener knows this.
Pumps
Casually and I thought, okay, that's. That's something. Did that stick out to you?
Josh
Of course not. Okay, that's more impressed with. No, but of course I know that you zeroed in on it like a heat seeking missile. Yeah, no, I just. I think that this is dj. Dj, I'm very impressed with all of that.
Pumps
Very impressed. Josh.
Josh
And I support this. If she doesn't call you in the next month or so, my recommendation is as follows. Dj, get arrested for something. Do not hire Josh, because you would for sure get off, right? Hire. Just go with a public defender, get incarcerated somehow. Get a phone in prison and send your dating profile to Kylie. Because if I've heard her say it once, I've heard her say it 15 times. I will never date somebody in prison.
Pumps
Yeah, that's all that's all true.
Josh
It's just crazy how often you say it is all I'm saying.
Pumps
Yeah. I mean, I was in it for.
Fabiola
A while, which 100% means it's true.
Josh
What?
Fabiola
When you say something 10, 15 times, it's 100 true.
Pumps
I know I was saying it a lot when I was watching the show because my girlfriend and I would talk about. We'd watch the show and then we'd call each other and be like, are you kidding me?
Fabiola
Do you think if maybe he dressed like an inmate? Yeah. Just without being incarcerated. If you just looked and played the part, would that be more attractive? Would it provide more incentive for you to want to engage? I don't know, just kind of stink and wear some, you know, jumpsuits and, and like flip flops and, you know, eat ham sandwiches.
Pumps
Wear those little thong things they wear.
Fabiola
Yeah, exactly. Don't shower. And then see if your. See if your antenna goes up. I think it's worth a shot.
Pumps
Do you remember when I worked with you for you, because I was not competent without you. When you would have me go over with people to do stuff at the jail? Remember I started carrying like gum and tiktoks and I was just like, tiktoks.
Josh
I just had a whole.
Pumps
Or Tic tacs.
Fabiola
Tic tacs.
Pumps
I mean, I just had a whole line of mints and breath fresheners. You have to have them because you're right there. You're like right here whispering to each other like this. And it's like jailbreath. Oh, my God.
Fabiola
Yeah.
Pumps
Awful. So I became the convenience store of the eighth floor.
Fabiola
You can, you can. I, I. Maybe I introduced you to this, this way of life, this new fetish that you have.
Josh
Maybe it clearly is a fetish. I've never heard somebody talk about something so much in my entire life. It is a Trumpian style obsession with making a statement that about something you don't want to do. And that just sticks out to me, you know, it really sticks out to me.
Pumps
Too bad we don't have like a fast forward button and we can see in the next 10 years which inmate you, Dave, which inmate I'm madly in love with. Fall in love, get married in jail. On the visiting.
Josh
It used to be that you would never have a Frenchie. I'll never get a Frenchie. I would never get a Frenchie. I would never have a Frenchie. I'm gonna get a new dog, but it will not be a Frenchie.
Pumps
Now what do you have a Frenchie. And what, what is my favorite thing on planet Earth. The Frenchie. What could I not live without? The Frenchie.
Josh
Who is your soulmate? An inmate. The Frenchie. Okay, listen up. Thank you guys for joining us. We hope you have a very happy holiday. Josh, thank you for joining us.
Fabiola
You're welcome. You're welcome.
Josh
On I've had it and we will see you guys pumps tonight. Them.
Pumps
We will see you next Tuesday and Thursday. I'll tell you what I've had it with.
Josh
Let's hear it. I've had it with that. Listen up, patriots, gatriots and Natriots. We have a new podcast that has dropped. 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. Always served with a side of petty grievances.
Pumps

Josh
A little bit more enthusiasm.
Pumps
Caca.
Kylie

Josh
That's the patriotism that this country needs right there.
Kylie
Gifting is hard, but here's a hint. Give the gift of connection from US Cellular. Not sure what that means. Here's a slightly more specific hint. You can choose four free phones and get four lines for $90 a month from US Cellular. Your family wants new phones. How do we know? Well, they told us. The good news is that compared to wrapping presents, you're great at getting hints. So take the hint and get them four free phones and four lines for $90 a month US Cellular built for us.
