Transcript

[Jennifer]

So are we supposed to start the podcast?

[Angie]

Ready? One, two, three.

[Jennifer]

Patriots Gay trots. They trots. I have some really sad news. My cat, Kitsky, AKA Katsky, died peacefully in her sleep. And she lived a good life. She was 17 years old. I know that we had covered her journey, her feline journey into old age, exclusively on this podcast, but I do want to say this. When you have a pet for a long time and they're just kind of always there in your house, and then I searched in my photo roll with my sons and my husband last night. Cat. And then you have like two decades worth photographs with this animal. It's really sad when they're. When they're gone.

[Angie]

Yeah, it's really sad because when you see pictures of like your kids when they were little with her, it's like, oh, my gosh, she's been around for so many different steps in life changes. It is sad. And I. When you told me, I immediately felt guilty because I've been harboring this, wanted to kill her. You know, her quality of life has. Or her quantity of life has outlived her quality of life. And so I just. I'm sorry about that. And it was traumatic how you found her.

[Jennifer]

It's okay. It's okay. And I know that, like, you know that you loved Kitsky deep down.

[Angie]

Yeah, I loved her for you. Because you loved her.

[Jennifer]

Did the share with our listener. Well, listener, let me just tell you. So the vet had to come to my house to pick up her body, and I'm there and she's like, let's say goodbye to her. And I reached down and I was like, you're a good kitty. And then the vet like rubbed on her cheeks and I just had shaved her, you know, Cause she couldn't groom. And I looked at the vet and I said, that's probably what killed her.

[Angie]

Well, and I took my dog to the vet yesterday for X rays, and both the veterinarian and the vet tech extended their condolences to me about your cat. And I was like, I know it's sad, but we were ready.

[Jennifer]

If they only knew. No, it's. You know, when somebody. It's always sad when you lose an animal because it's like the fragility of life and your mortality and you have these animals that live with you, and they, for the most part, bring you just an abundance of joy. So anyway, my cat is gone. Long live Kitsky.

[Angie]

Do you think you'll get another cat?

[Jennifer]

No, no, no, I'm not going to get another cat. I. I Roman asked me this very question. I could see if I outlived Josh maybe, like, the last 10 years of my life. Having a house that's on some land and having a lot of animals.

[Angie]

Right. I would think those animals would all be French bulldogs, though.

[Jennifer]

Yes. But I wouldn't mind having, like. Have you seen those little cats have those little short legs and a real fluffy. Oh, I haven't. Yeah, they're super cute. Now, I'm. I mean, listen, I don't know. Right now, I'm not going to get another cat. I. You know, I've got these two dogs. I've got Josh. You know, I've got a lot going on, but pumps. What have you had it with?

[Angie]

Okay, what I've had it with is I've had, like, this head cold for two weeks.

[Jennifer]

Me, too.

[Angie]

It's ridiculous. And I wake up in the morning, Jennifer. And I tell you what, I wake up, my throat and my mouth are so dry, it's like somebody painted it with chalk.

[Jennifer]

Same. You would think that we've been French kissing.

[Angie]

I know. I mean, we haven't, but we could have been. And then, not only is my throat and mouth. Are my throat and mouth dry and chalky, it tastes like the biggest dog on the planet has come and taken a big steaming dump in my mouth. And I wash. I mean, I mouthwash, I brush, I scrape. And the entire day, I still feel like my breath could knock a buzzard off a ship wagon. And I was at the vet yesterday, and she was trying to show me some X rays. And so we were kind of having to lean in, and I have to put my hand over my mouth. And I was like, I am so sorry. I know my bre. Terrible. I mean, it is awful. You can just taste it. And I'm sick of it. And I've had it, and I want it to stop. And I can only imagine the snoring that's going along with my open mouth. Breathing, sleep. I mean, I'm sure it is a freight train.

[Jennifer]

Wow. Yeah, wow. I mean, the description of how bad it's so bad your breath is about the dog. Yeah, wow. I mean, you know, here's the problem. You know, we're secretly. Behind your back, the producers and I are trying to market you on dating websites. And so this goes. This is, like, not good for the branding that we're trying to put out into the universe. Date this hot podcaster, you know, America's favorite podcaster. America's meemaw. Legal Eagle, meet Curtain. All the stuff. Maybe a little over top Princess Diana. And then we just have a description about a dog taking a literal dump in your mouth. And then you parading around having conversations with people after that.

[Angie]

Right. With my hand over my mouth.

[Jennifer]

Oh, God.

[Angie]

And here's the thing. She's like, I can't smell your breath. And I'm like, what are you going to say if you could smell my breath? You're not going to say, oh my God, your breath is terrible. But I just, I have that film in my mouth all day long. It doesn't matter how much mouthwashing, brushing, scraping. I'm just, I've had it. I need to get over it.

[Jennifer]

Thank you.

[Angie]

Done.

[Jennifer]

Thank you for all those details. Thank you on behalf of me and the listener. That, that there's no happy ending there either.

[Angie]

No, it's not getting better.

[Jennifer]

Right. Okay, let me tell you what I've had it with. And you experienced this with me. And I just want to bring this to everybody's attention because we have to move and we have to move fast. There is something going on at arenas or venues that host people for like, let's say a basketball game, a concert, a tennis match, et cetera, where you go to the concession stand and you buy a bottle of water and then the concession stand worker says, would you please remove the lid and hand it back to me? And they're basically making you buy a bottle of water and then give the lid back to them because they don't want the lids in the arena. There is no good reason, there is zero reason for this, that you would take somebody's lid. Because here's my thinking on this entire thing. The reason why you get the bottle of water is you can screw the lid on tightly, stick it down if somebody kicks it over, because people are up and down going to the bathroom, in your case, going to scrape your tongue and gargle Listerine. All this stuff is going on. Right? And, and this bottle has no lid on it. So it gets knocked over and then you got some klutz that comes by and then bites it. The lawsuits are going to be far, far worse. So I don't know what the reasons are. Kyla, if you'll start researching Googling, I can guarantee you there's not a good reason for this. It's not like you're outside at Madison Square Garden and some bird is flocking in and choking on the water bottle lid. I mean, we've already, we're already drinking out of plastic, for God's sake. Right? We. Oh my God. The lid is the problem. And this has happened to me. It happened to me once at a tennis match in. At the labor cup in London. I couldn't have my lid on. And then when we went to the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. The New York Knicks for the permanent record, the Thunder annihilated the Knicks. And the New Yorkers were really, really salty about it, which gave us a lot of bonus points in that regard. But I ended up. I never drink soda. Ever, Ever. And I ended up drinking a Sprite so that it could have a lid on it because I didn't want this rogue water splashing around pumps. You know, you trip and fall all the time. I did that for your safety.

[Angie]

Right? No, totally. And I've done. I've had that happen to me, too. And what I can't get over is, why are you taking the lid off the water but allowing the lid on the soft drinks? Like, I don't understand that. That makes no sense. There's no symmetry to that.

[Jennifer]

I don't. I don't know who started this, but here's what I predict. I predict there were some people scrambling jets around a table.

[Angie]

Oh, yeah.

[Jennifer]

And they were bored. And they decided that they were going to commit violence that day. And they took the lids away from all of us. And then just snowball effects. And then one arena does it and another arena does it and another arena does it. And here's what's going to happen. Hide and watch. You're gonna have all this spilled water all over the place. And then all of a sudden you're gonna have broken hips, broken wrists, broken. A lot of stuff. Concussions, banging on the steps. And then there's gonna be a class action lawsuit. And let me tell you who the attorney for the class action lawsuit is gonna be. It is gonna be America's legal eagle attorney at Law Pumps.

[Angie]

Well, I would say I'd probably be more likely to be a litigant and one of the claimants, because I did. When I got a water at a soccer game in London, no lid, I put it underneath my seat, knocked it over immediately knocked it over, got my purse all wet, walked through it. I'm surprised I didn't fall head first down the stairs. But I do. It worries me that it's like a. Like I'm going to slip. And now I'm like. Because I did fall the other day, I'm super paranoid about it. So I just threw the water away. I was like, I cannot be trusted with water.

[Jennifer]

Let me ask you this. In the lawsuit that it's Going to be imminent. Oh, yeah. That we're organizing. Can you both be a litigant and a lawyer?

[Angie]

You know what they say about that. A lawyer that. Okay, a lawyer that represents themselves has a fool for a client. So I would say no. I could either be the lawyer or the litigant.

[Jennifer]

Because you're no fool.

[Angie]

I am. No. Well, that might be an overstatement, but in that particular capacity, I'm no fool.

[Jennifer]

Welcome to. I've had it. I'm Jennifer.

[Angie]

I'm Angie.

[Jennifer]

Kylie. What'd you find out about the lids?

[Kylie]

I found out that it is because it's a safety issue. And people use water bottles with the lid on tight full of liquid as weapons.

[Jennifer]

Bullshit.

[Angie]

Okay, but here's the thing. Why couldn't you use a bottle of soda? For the exact same reason. Because they give you the lid with the soda.

[Jennifer]

Well, because I think then you can beat. But here's the thing. Here's. That's the. Dad. That is no good reason because what's going to happen are these slips. We're going to have concussions. We're going to have broken wrists, broken arms, broken shoulders, broken hips. A lot of things. We're going to have a lot of medical problems. And I just want to say right now that if this happened to you. Contact. What's your Meat Curtain?

[Angie]

Meat Curtain, Meemaw Law firm. Isn't that right? Meat Curtain, Meemaw or no, is it Meemaw Meat Curtain?

[Jennifer]

Kelly, what is it?

[Kylie]

Was it 1-800-meat flap? Meatball Meat Mall?

[Jennifer]

Yeah. 1, 800 people even made jingles for me.

[Angie]

Curtain Law.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. That is. Okay, here's the deal. If. If I. Here, I'm. I think I could take a beating from a water bottle. And I think I could. Maybe I'd get a bruise or two. I think I could survive it.

[Angie]

I think it's more dangerous to slip down those stairs in an arena.

[Jennifer]

I do, too.

[Angie]

It makes no sense.

[Jennifer]

I want to know who came up with this idea. Yeah. I want more information. And it's not just the United States, because this has happened in the uk, Right? And the United States. And I'm just going to tell you right here, we have had it. We're not going to stand for it, and it trumps America. If there's one bloody thing the Democrats could do. If you could just give us one little victory, get us our caps back on our water bottles, for God's sake.

[Angie]

Let's start small.

[Jennifer]

Yeah.

[Angie]

Just small changes every day.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. That would buy me about 10 hours of not worrying, maybe five. I was gonna say God is generous.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

All right, Kylie, what's going on on the Internet?

[Kylie]

I've got two reviews for you today. And this one is titled A Masterclass in Chewing People Out. Five stars from the Queer Cajun. And they write no one is safe from the verbal lashings of Meemaw Meat Curtains and Blessica. And honestly, thank God, my favorite part of every Tuesday and Thursday morning is cooking breakfast while y'all chew out every corner of the American population, from influencers and small talk to yoga instructors and Facebook moms, you two somehow say exactly what I'm thinking before I even knew it.

[Jennifer]

I mean, I. You know what? I. Thank you.

[Angie]

It's a service.

[Jennifer]

It is. You know, it's. All of this toxic positivity is nauseating. Not sustainable. I've had it. It's disgusting.

[Angie]

Shut up.

[Jennifer]

Shut up.

[Angie]

And I love the name. Was it Queer Cajun? I love that. Yeah, that's a great name.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, it's a good one. Listener, this may come as a total shock to you, but Pumps and I have not always been this pulled together and rock solid. In fact, we used to be rather screwed up. Wouldn't you say, Pumps?

[Angie]

I would say damn near psychotic.

[Jennifer]

Totally. And we have written a cell phone expose. One could even say it's a manifesto. And the book title is Life is.

[Angie]

A Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches.

[Jennifer]

In all sincerity, we share a lot of our struggles that led us to this grand stage where we can talk about petty grievances. You can click the link below in the show notes to pre order your copy. Now, Pumps, it's really important for me to get nutrient dense meals because I play so much tennis and pickleball. I notice if I don't get enough protein or if I eat, you know, non healthy food, I really feel it and my game suffers.

It is an online platform that connects you with an expert dermatology team to get you customized acne and dermatology treatment for your unique skin.

[Kylie]

Okay, this one's five stars titled Kylie My Dehydrated Queen. Hi ladies. I'm disappointed to admit that I am a lacklust listener as I have been listening to your podcast and I'm a devoted cult member for over a year and I'm just now writing a review. I want to dedicate this to Kylie, whose travel advice I have now adopted. Whenever I fly, I will never use the restroom on a plane, so I purposefully stop all intakes hours before my flight. Sure, I may look like a dehydrated wrinkly raisin, AKA Meemaw meat curtains. After a year with no Botox, but it's worth it. I love you all. And coming from a member of the LGBTQ+ community, thank you for standing up not only for our community, but for all marginalized communities, especially during these frightening times. Keep it up.

[Angie]

What a great review.

[Jennifer]

It's a great review. And here's the thing. This is not a popular opinion, but we've been pushing it, and I actually have. I've been beating this so long that I'm starting to really reap some results. So, you know, pumps back in the day, you guys should get in my car. And she had a Stanley, a backup Stanley. And this was before Stanley's. They were actually these really large styrofoam cups. And she'd have one and then another. It was like four beverages. You. Unless you had a. An rv, you would not have enough cup holders for all of the beverages she transported around. And this is when, like, I just started getting really irritated with hydration. Combine that with the fact that when you go to any town with altitude, everybody's like, be sure to hydrate. Be sure to hydrate. I'm like, be sure to put a sock in it. Everybody knows. Quit talking about it. And so then the Stanley cup comes in, and we all know what that leads to and all of this stuff. And then Kylie, this little angel, enters my life who intentionally dehydrates, and I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I didn't ever take it far enough.

[Angie]

Right. You were just on the cusp.

[Jennifer]

I was. I was like, I was at the appetizer and she was a full blown entree and dessert.

[Angie]

Right.

[Jennifer]

And so I, like, when Kylie just admitted on our podcast that she intentionally dehydrates, I was immediately envious and in awe. I was too.

[Angie]

And I would like to report this. I have instituted a whole new policy on hydration. Number one, I do not drink liquids after 6pm Because.

[Jennifer]

Hear, hear. Hear, hear. Yeah.

[Angie]

I mean, none. If I eat dinner, like at 6:30, I just choke it down. No liquid. Because if I get up to potty in the middle of the night, that means my dog has to get up and potty. So that means I'm schlepping out to super cold weather. So I've just been really focused on intentionally dehydrating. Intentionally dehydrating.

[Jennifer]

Tell them about the Stanley.

[Angie]

And, well, I would love to take credit that I'm not on the Stanley, but I stopped the Stanley because my girlfriend said her dermatologist said the straw makes you have more wrinkles. So I'm Completely off the Stanley.

[Jennifer]

Let me ask you this. None of it. None of the getting rid of the Stanley.0% of it. Had to do with me browbeating it leading to Trumpism.

[Angie]

Would it make you feel better if I said yes?

[Jennifer]

No. I want the truth.

[Angie]

No.

[Jennifer]

0%.

[Angie]

0%.

[Jennifer]

0%.

[Angie]

It was the wrinkles. I mean, I'm like, I'm not paying this much money for Botox and filler and all the other to sit around and Stanley straw my way in to worse wrinkles. I mean, I already smoked for a hundred years, so I've got to start doing better on that. So now I've completely. I'm off the Stanley. Dehydrating on purpose. Thank you, Kylie.

[Jennifer]

But you know what? Here's what I'm going to say about these arenas. They do. I didn't. I ended up not purchasing the water on principle because I'm like. I'm not. Is there any discount for not getting the cap? Because I want the complete packaging dollar off. Right. How much are you going to deduct for removing that cap?

[Angie]

Yeah, it's kind of like when you buy a cheeseburger. Like, I buy a cheeseburger and I put no cheese on it.

[Jennifer]

That's a hamburger.

[Angie]

I mean, a ham. I know, but, like, it's. When you order, like, it's a number five with no cheese. So it's a cheese. You order the cheeseburger, but then you take the cheese off. So I've probably not taken. Like, I've made money for them all these years not ordering cheese. So it's the same way with the lid and the bottle. They're profiting. Why are you laughing at me? Why are you laughing?

[Jennifer]

Because you haven't made anybody any money. You've simply ordered a hamburger.

[Angie]

I know, but I order off all the burgers on this one menu in town.

[Jennifer]

You intentionally order a cheeseburger without cheese?

[Angie]

Yes, because they don't have just, like, a plain hamburger option. So I order the no cheese. So I'm like, that's saving them $0.30 every time I order. But if I order a hamburger with cheese, you have to pay extra for the cheese. But I'm not getting a discount for not ordering the cheese.

[Jennifer]

Kylie, do you know what's going on? Are you okay? No.

[Angie]

Look at the Brahms menu. Look it up right now. They do not have just a plain hamburger option.

[Jennifer]

They do.

[Angie]

I don't think they do.

[Jennifer]

Kylie, look it up. Look it up, Kylie. Look it up.

[Kylie]

Yeah, you can order a hamburger. I don't. You can do that.

[Angie]

Everywhere.

[Jennifer]

I want to know what.

[Angie]

No, but on the menu where it has all the menus pointed out. I'm like, boxed into different things.

[Kylie]

It's 420 calories. It's 20 fats. It's 39 carbs. It's the hamburger.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. They have a hamburger.

[Angie]

Are you for real? Let me see that.

[Jennifer]

Pumps. Every single. I have been ordering joint has a cheeseburger and a hamburger. And when you order a cheeseburger minus the cheese, you're ordering a hamburger.

[Angie]

No, but I pro. I mean, from the drive through window, I didn't see just a hamburger option.

[Jennifer]

So you're out there just. You think in your mind you're out there just helping corporate America.

[Angie]

I am. I'm out there saving them a slice of cheese every time I get a hamburger at the drive through.

[Jennifer]

Okay, Kylie, do you know what's going on?

[Kylie]

No, I don't.

[Jennifer]

Okay. I love you. I really do.

[Angie]

I've been bitter about that for years, and now you're telling me I had no reason to be bitter?

[Jennifer]

Yeah. You would just order the hamburger. The number one hamburger.

[Angie]

Yeah, but it ca. It comes with cheese, so you have to say no cheese. Okay, we're going to go through that in a minute.

[Jennifer]

We're going to go to Brahms.

[Angie]

We're going to go to Brahms.

[Jennifer]

And for those of you that don't know, Brahms is like a regional ice cream and burger shop. It's like Texas, Oklahoma. I don't know where else it is. All right, Anyway, I love you. We're gonna go. You know what we're gonna have for lunch today? I'm gonna have a cheeseburger. You can have a hamburger, but we're gonna order it accordingly.

[Angie]

Okay.

[Jennifer]

I'll have Kylie come with us and film it.

[Angie]

Okay.

[Jennifer]

For our social media, I think I'm.

[Angie]

Gonna prove that I'm right.

[Jennifer]

You are a. Here's what you are. You are a cheeseburger influencer, where you are really gaming the system by saying, I'll have the cheeseburger. No cheese.

[Angie]

No cheese. And please charge me for the cheese.

[Jennifer]

They're like, okay, no, I demand that you charge me for the cheese.

[Angie]

You put that cheese on my bill. I want that cheese charged. Like, this whole time I've been mad about it.

[Jennifer]

Okay, I have some news to share with you. Here's the headline. My five year old sister can't come to my wedding unless she sees a psychologist.

[Angie]

What?

[Jennifer]

A five year old? When the couple told their exciting news to the kids, both the older ones were happy. Evie, however, was furious. The reason for her anger was a surprising one. She wrote, she started crying and hitting me because she wanted to marry him and if I marry him, she can't. She refused to speak to me for almost a week and now she's mostly okay, but she gets mad at me and starts crying and hitting me anytime she sees me kiss him. She shared her feelings with her dad, explaining that she won't be allowed to attend the ceremony until she sees a child psychologist. He's saying she doesn't need therapy. She's just a five year old with a crush on my fiance. I'm overreacting and she won't forgive me if I exclude her from the wedding.

[Angie]

Yeah, I just kind of think you tell the five year old you're not going to act like an asshole at the wedding or you're not going.

[Jennifer]

I think here's something that, that. Remember our toddler advocacy, Right?

[Angie]

Yes.

[Jennifer]

That, that we're starting.

[Angie]

Right. Boarding school for toddlers.

[Jennifer]

So here's, here's. And we are like toddler safety advocates. Here's what I'm going to say. This involves a wedding, right? And about five, six episodes ago, we identified places that children shouldn't be.

[Angie]

That's right.

[Jennifer]

One of those places is a wedding. And clearly this child is in danger being around her unhinged bridezilla sister that's demanding that she goes to see a psychologist. And here's one thing I'm going to say about the bridezilla sister. I like that she's like, I don't give a shit if you're five, you still need help. You still need to go see a shrink, you little twat. I like it. I like that she has such high expectations of the child and isn't just, you know, pumping rainbows and unicorns up the kid's ass all the time.

[Angie]

It's what we used to call accountability before Trump's America.

[Jennifer]

That's right.

[Angie]

There used to be accountability for behavior.

[Jennifer]

Okay, here's one. Research says dogs who have other dogs as friends live longer. A study from Arizona State University found that a dog's social support network significantly influences its health outcomes, with social companionship having a more substantial impact than other factors like financial conditions or the owner's age. I don't know about anybody else's dog, but my dogs are gold diggers. Yeah.

[Angie]

I mean, that threw me for a loop. Came to me for money.

[Jennifer]

Substantial impact than other factors like finance. Now, I will say that some pets can probably be like, you know, live in poverty.

[Angie]

Right, right, right.

[Jennifer]

Yes, yes. Agree but apparently dogs that have friends live longer. And I agree with this.

[Angie]

It makes perfect sense.

[Jennifer]

They're pack creatures.

[Angie]

Well, and they just. Having somebody, like, the isolation is what gets you human or dog, apparently.

[Jennifer]

Let me ask you this. How's your pack leadership going?

[Angie]

Okay. It's better. I tried harder this weekend, and he did a little bit better. Oh, yesterday when I picked him up from school. It took me a lot longer than it took you, but I got him to sit. After a while, he just gets so excited. He just comes out of his skin.

[Jennifer]

He's. He's a really good boy. I think that this weekend we can take them to the cemetery. And I have a. I have something I've had it with. Listen up, listener. When I say that we take our dogs to the cemetery, there's a bunch of keyboard warriors that go apeshit bananas in the comment section. How dare you take your dogs to a cemetery and run over people's graves. We are monsters and we are terrible people, but we do not let our dogs run over tombstones. Here's the layout, everybody. All of you busybodies, keyboard warriors. The layout of the cemetery is this. It's a huge, huge acreage, and a part of it is developed. And there's all the, you know, tombstones and deceased people that passed, et cetera. And then there's the part that they're going to grow into, which is this big open field that is gigantic. Like, acre, like 10 acres. There's not one dead body, not one tombstone anywhere, but it's on the cemetery compound. Everybody takes their dogs and runs?

[Angie]

Yes, everybody.

[Jennifer]

So our dogs go and they run. Not near the dead bodies?

[Angie]

No, they're not even in the same.

[Jennifer]

They're not even.

[Angie]

I mean, they're like, way far.

[Jennifer]

It's a completely different area, and I just want it noted for the permanent record as well. When I'm dead, if dogs are running on top of my grave, it wouldn't upset me one bit. We don't do that. But number one, I wouldn't know it because I'm dead. And number two, I would want living things living their lives.

[Angie]

Right.

[Jennifer]

Because I'm dead, I wouldn't be a narcissistic dead person.

[Angie]

Right. I. I prefer narcissism in life.

[Jennifer]

What about that? Narcissistic dead people is what they're campaigning for in the comments section.

[Angie]

Yeah, well, a lot of people are dead.

[Jennifer]

Dead people. Narcissism.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

I mean, you would think that it could finally end at some point.

[Angie]

I feel like it's never going to End.

[Jennifer]

All right, that's all we have for the news today. I think we have voice memos. Kylie, who's first?

[Kylie]

We do. Up first is Wesley, and he's seeking some advice.

[Jennifer]

Oh, good.

[Wesley]

Hello, my mothers. I know this is a podcast about grievances, but at this point, y'all are like, my life coaches. So here's the question for you all. What do you do when your best friend starts dating somebody that you cannot stand? So, in the past, my philosophy has always been, tell my friend once, never bring it up again, unless they bring it up. But good God, like, I cannot stand. Jen, what did you do when Pumps was married to her husband? I don't want to be in the same room as this person. I don't want to be in the same car. I don't want to breed the same air. I don't want to be socially associated with them. I mean, when I even think about it, my heart rate is like Tucker Carlson when Obama wore a tan suit. What do I do?

[Jennifer]

I love him. I love him. Okay, this is a great one, because.

[Angie]

Everybody'S had to face it.

[Jennifer]

Everybody has had to face it. I. It's really tough because it seems like just human nature when you tell somebody that you don't like their spouse or their. Their person they're dating or seeing, it makes the them get closer 100%.

[Angie]

And it's just. It is such a catch 22 because they ask for your opinion. I do think the. The rule Wesley had at first was, I'm going to tell you how I feel once, and then I'm never going to bring it up again. I have done that. It has bitten me in the ass so hard. I had one of my very best friends forever. She and her future husband were just dating. They broke up, and she was like, he's a loser. I've got to get away from him. So what did I do? I doubled down on that. I went in and started telling her how much of a loser he was, how I could identify every loser part of him. And, I mean, I left no stone unturned. And about three weeks later, they're back together, they get married, and I have to live with that. Like, she knows I think he's a loser. Now they're divorced, but he's the father of her kids. And we laugh about it now, but it was just like, it is such an uncomfortable feeling to do that. But when it's your best friend, I just think you have to be honest and be like, I'm not their biggest fan, but I Think for the sake of your friend. You have to be courteous. I mean, I. I do.

[Jennifer]

When Pumps was married to her first husband. First.

[Angie]

I've only had one. Unless I got married and didn't know my second ex husband.

[Jennifer]

Everybody's got to have a first husband.

[Angie]

I agree.

[Jennifer]

So we're just going to refer to him as your first? It makes you sound more like, I don't know, Social. Yeah. Like. Yeah, I like it.

[Angie]

Romantic. Yeah.

[Jennifer]

It makes it sound like you're getting laid more than you really are.

[Angie]

Okay, well, I'm all in on that.

[Jennifer]

Okay. So when Pumps is married to her first husband. By the time I started sounding the alarm bells, they were so obvious that we would sit and nobody freak out. We haven't. Neither one of us has smoked in over 10 years, but we used to smoke chain smoke, Marlboro Lights. And we would sit on my front porch and light cigarette after cigarette. And we had flowcharts about what a lying, horrific sack of shit this was. He could call and say, what are you doing? And she would say, I'm sitting with Jennifer making a list of things. And he knew exactly what that meant.

[Angie]

Right. And here's the deal. It was kind of easier for you because I hated him as much as you hated him.

[Jennifer]

It was so easy, Right.

[Angie]

We were in lockstep with our haters.

[Jennifer]

Now, there was a time period where I thought, for sure it's over. Like, this is the point of no return.

[Angie]

But there were so many.

[Jennifer]

And then get this listener, they get back together, like for appearances only.

[Angie]

Right?

[Jennifer]

So for the kids, he would come home and y'all would play house, like.

[Angie]

Until the kids went to bed.

[Jennifer]

And then the kids went to bed.

[Angie]

Right.

[Jennifer]

And he would leave and go spend the night with the friends. And then he would arrive back, like five or six hours later in the.

[Angie]

Morning before the kids.

[Jennifer]

In the morning before the kids got up.

[Angie]

Yeah, that fucking crazy.

[Jennifer]

That part right there, that's where I was just like, why are we trying to put lipstick on that pig?

[Angie]

There was no. There wasn't enough lipstick at the Chanel store to put lipstick on that pig.

[Jennifer]

He's not worthy of that. Cosmetics.

[Angie]

No, absolutely not. No. I mean, it was. It was so ridiculous. I look back and I think that is the dumbest you've ever been. Full stop. I mean, just dumb, dumb.

[Jennifer]

That went on for months.

[Angie]

Yeah. And then we moved back in the same house. I mean, we never had sex or anything, but still.

[Jennifer]

You did that one time when he bought you that car.

[Angie]

That was before.

[Jennifer]

Oh, wait, remember you, him in the back of that car, he bought you that infinity and you rewarded him.

[Angie]

I think that was before, wasn't it?

[Jennifer]

I don't, I don't remember when it was, but I remember thinking it's fucking.

[Angie]

Gross is what it is.

[Jennifer]

I, you know, here's the thing. You can say it's gross when you're married and you've had kids with somebody and you've had sex a million. It's times. It's like, what's one more time? I got the car I wanted. Yeah. I'll him in the back of it.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

I mean, listen, that was my idea.

[Angie]

If I remember correctly.

[Jennifer]

I think it kind of was your idea. Which brings us back to how you're a closet horny person. You are in the closet as a horny person.

[Angie]

Yeah, I'm just waiting for the hinges to spring off.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. Because I mean that, you know, that was kind of kinky. I think your kids were at home, even. Yeah. I just. I do think you are a closet horny person. I do.

[Angie]

Just waiting for a partner.

[Jennifer]

As evidenced by the car sex.

[Angie]

Right, Car sex.

[Jennifer]

And when that guy recently flashed you a couple years ago, you were delighted by it. That driver, fellow driver, pulled up next to you and he was masturbating or something wildly inappropriate, and you came to me and you regretted from ear to ear.

[Angie]

I was just like, oh, my gosh.

[Jennifer]

I wish I could be about it. Yeah, I think you're a closet kinky horny person. I wish.

[Angie]

I wish I was out listener.

[Jennifer]

My feet are always freezing, especially in the winter. And once my feet and my little piggies are cold, I'm cold all over my body. But all of this has changed because I have discovered Bombas socks. They are like little marshmallows, little pillows for my feet. And they are so warm. And they even have the no show bombas. They are warm and they don't slide down your heel. They stay in place. Because I love a no show sock. But again, my feet get so cold. But not with the bombas.

[Angie]

Bombas. I've always loved their long socks. But the no show socks are a. Like you said, they don't slide down. They keep your feet warm. And the slippers are amazing, too.

[Jennifer]

Ask your doctor about Addy today. That's A-D-Y I.com all right, Kylie, who's next?

[Kylie]

Okay, up next, we've got Kirby.

[Kirby]

Okay, so I love you guys. First of all, you're like my surrogate non lesbo mommies and I absolutely love you. I'm an OKC resident, born and raised in Oklahoma. I work in the service industry at the moment in time, but I worked in HR for a long time and what that's taught me is that you don't put up with bullshit when bullshit's right in front of you. So I want to tell you about a story from a few nights ago where a man wearing a MAGA hat walked into my bar, which is an intentional safe space, and I full on barked at him. And not just like a. It was like a. Like an English bulldog that hasn't been treated properly its entire lifetime. It was a. So I just, I just want to put that out there as a suggestion for you all. A few women came up to me afterwards after I did that and thanked me for my service. So I mean, you say get fully unhinged and give them what they've been getting. Give them what they've been giving.

[Jennifer]

So.

[Kirby]

So I full on barked at this man and anytime I walked past him, I went. So I've become unhinged as a result of listening to your podcast. I just want to thank you, thank you for your service because we're out here being deputized members of your community and doing the Lord's work that I don't believe in. But, but I really do love you guys and wanted to share that with you.

[Jennifer]

I mean to. What I have to say is, you're welcome little soldier. Young grasshopper.

[Angie]

Deputized.

[Jennifer]

Deputized. And I have a little story to tell you all. So pumps and I on inauguration Day went and had breakfast together at this little greasy diner we both love in Oklahoma City. I order scrambled eggs and a short stack. She orders biscuits and gravy. And a side of.

[Angie]

It's not really relevant.

[Jennifer]

I know. I'm painting the picture as an author would do. Okay? I'm letting them know that we're not in here eating, like, you know, crunchy food. We're doing greasy spoon, right? All right? So we look around at the people around us, and Pumps is, like, glaring at me. And she's doing her head like this. She's like, maga hat. Maga hat. Maga hat. So I turn and there's this woman sitting with this man that's about 950 years old, and she has on a maga hat, Red. And then she has this cup in front of her, and the cup has all these mini American flags in it, right? January 20th. Pumps and I are literally on suicide watch. We're just like, let's go eat. So she's parading around the restaurant, smiling, waving a little flag at everybody. And I want to tell you that I glared like nobody's business. I would not blink. I didn't. And I looked at her with just. I wanted her to feel it if she got smiles from everybody else. I wanted my negative energy and my disdain for her support of a sexist, racist, anti Semitic piece of shit that tried to give a microphone a blowjob. Because, you know, that woman was a big churchgoer. You could see all over her that she was a big old Testament gal. Right? And so I wanted my energy to just supersede anything else in that little cafe. And I think it did. Yeah.

[Angie]

You were like. Because she. Her back was to me as they were leaving, and Jennifer is just giving her the most evil eye you've ever seen. And they looked exactly, exactly. If they hadn't had the maga hat on, we both would have been able to identify them as MAGA.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, it looked like they came fresh from January 6th. I mean, just fresh off the boat from January 6th. Freshly pardoned.

[Angie]

Yes, Freshly pardoned from jail. They just looked exactly. And Jennifer was like that. I said, look, look, look. And she was like, oh, that guy with the maggot. I'm like, that's a woman. And she's like, that's a woman.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, Yeah, I did. I did misgender her initially. Yeah, yeah. But it was just from the side. And then once I got the front, then I could.

[Angie]

She was too old. I mean, she was old enough to know better. Had we Known about the barking. Like, I hadn't heard about the barking. I didn't know people were doing that. Would you have barked?

[Jennifer]

What? Was she meaning that metaphorically?

[Angie]

No, because she said she. When he walked by, she'd go, right.

[Jennifer]

But I. The barking. Was that literal or metaphorical? I took it literally.

[Angie]

Did you take it, Kylie?

[Jennifer]

What do you think?

[Kylie]

I want to take it literally that.

[Jennifer]

She literally barked at him?

[Kylie]

Yeah, just for me. I like picturing that.

[Angie]

Okay, that's what we should do.

[Jennifer]

And when she said it was an intentional safe space. Do we think that this was a gay bar or right now we're just shooting at the wind, trying to paint a picture. We need more details, caller.

[Angie]

Yes, please.

[Jennifer]

Okay, see, caller, we need more details.

[Angie]

Or send an Instagram to Seth where this is and we might take a loop through.

[Jennifer]

Please message Kylie or Seth. Okay, who's next?

[Kylie]

Up next, we've got Jess.

[Jess]

Hey, guys, it's Jess from Australia. And my. I've had it is kind of a double edged sword in a way. The first side of the situation is when you're in a public car park and you are walking back to your car, you're about to leave, you're kind of sitting in the car and you know, before I leave, I kind of like to reapply my lip gloss, scan my phone a little bit, just mentally prepare for the drive ahead and then some pulls up next to you and starts indicating obviously like one in your car park. No, you can't have my car park. I'm not done with it yet. I don't owe you the car park. You can sock right off and find your own. If I want to sit here all day, but I fucking will. On the flip side of this, however, when I need someone's car park and they don't get up and drive off fast enough, they are the problem and they need to be faster and I hate them and start cussing them out. And this is just another example of how I'm always right and everyone around me is always wrong. I'm gonna be brutally honest. I hate both sides of the situation. And in both situations, I'm the. I'm the correct one. One podcast, okay?

[Jennifer]

That is the most relatable, totally grievance.

[Angie]

I've been on both sides of it.

[Jennifer]

I'm on both sides and I am like, come on, lollygagger, get your together. Can't you see you're stopping traffic? What a selfish piece of. And that if I'm the person in and I'm checking my phone, responding to a text and I see somebody, I'm like, settle down, Right? Slow your roll. Maybe. Maybe walk an extra 10 yards.

[Angie]

Why are you in such a hurry? Why is your hair on fire?

[Jennifer]

Why are you breathing down my neck? But I do want to say this. I think it'd be really fun just to be complete assholes and twats to just start calling. Just start using British and Australian words in Oklahoma City, like car park.

[Angie]

I loved that when she was saying, let's just.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, we'll use car park Instead of aluminum, we'll start saying aluminium. Instead of vitamin, we'll say vitamin.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

And just when people say, like, why are you doing that? Like, do you. And it's just like, in Trump's America, we're trying to distinguish ourselves from fascists in all ways possible. So we're trying to use different forms of English and pronunciation, and we can call them twats.

[Angie]

Quit being a twat.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, that's exactly right. She's. She is. Hashtag inspo.

[Angie]

Totally. And hashtag mood board. Love the accent. We all know I love an accent. Fabulous.

[Jennifer]

The car park. Okay, Kylie, last one.

[Kylie]

Okay. The last one is from Gwen, and she's also seeking your advice.

[Jennifer]

Oh, good.

[Gwen]

Hi, Jen. And pumps. I need some advice on this pressing issue in my life. So my co worker, who I work very closely with, just bought me a Stanley cup for Christmas, and I feel a little bit like I'm being summoned into some sort of cult. I'm looking at it from across the room. It is matte black, kind of chic, if I'm being honest. I'm kind of getting the urge to go and fill it up with water, maybe even iced tea, like pumps might. However, I do understand that this could be a total gateway into to Trumpism. I'm trying not to take that possibility lightly. And it should be noted that this co worker of mine is in fact, a Trump supporter. And I know that because she pronounced Kamala Harris's name as Kamala. And she also asked me if I had ever read Hillbilly Elegy. Please help.

[Jennifer]

Bye. Okay. To me, this wasn't a gift. This is grooming. This is MAGA grooming. They are groomers. You're being groomed. It is very dangerous. What I would do is I would take that cap right up to that office and walk right over to my colleague's desk and say, hey, where's your trash can? And then pull it out. And I'd say, don't ever give me this MAGA again and don't groom Me either. I know that y'all try to identify all the groomers. It's because you're the groomer. And just flip the script and just be unhinged. Be crazy and be unhinged, because you cannot drink out of this cup for multiple reasons that I've covered since the inception of this podcast.

[Angie]

And we're adding wrinkles to that.

[Jennifer]

And the fact. And the fact that this woman, this. The. The colleague that gave the cup is mispronouncing Kamala Harris's name and reading Hillbilly Elegy and all of that nonsense. I. I just think this was an aggression. I think this was an act of aggression.

[Angie]

See, here's the thing. I feel like. I mean, Stanley cups are pretty expensive, so she must like her. So do you think she likes her and that's why she wants to bring her into the cult?

[Jennifer]

I think it's a part of the cult. I think it's just. I just. I know everybody thinks I'm fucking crazy about this, but it's. There's just. There are certain things when you start getting, like, the top knot headband, right, With. If it's bedazzled combined with the Stanley cup, you know, you. You just start combining a lot of things and you know exactly what you're dealing with.

[Angie]

Yeah, that's a tough one. I just think I would just not use it. I just wouldn't. I don't think I'd make a big scene, because what if her boss and all her other trumpers in my.

[Jennifer]

I. Here's the thing. That kind of goes back to the Australian color. And pumps can attest to this. I'm a notorious fantasizer.

[Angie]

Oh, yeah.

[Jennifer]

About being a badass.

[Angie]

We both are.

[Jennifer]

I mean, I can sit and say, here's what I would do, and I would do this, and I would say this, and I would do all of these things, and I say it with such passion and so much confidence. You think, God, man, she would do that. She would really people up. Half the time I just tell pumps or I share with you, the listener, and then I'm over it. Yeah.

[Angie]

Big talking is one of our specialties. Yeah, I'm a big talker. We're big fantasy people.

[Jennifer]

Huge.

[Angie]

We chew out people in fantasies like you would not believe for years, especially.

[Jennifer]

This was exacerbated by joint and shared chain smoking.

[Angie]

Right.

[Jennifer]

Pumps would call me and she would say, let's burn. And that means go out to your front porch and let's light a cigarette. And this is when our kids were really little. And we couldn't and, you know, be together. So I'd light up. She'd go, okay, I'm gonna give you a fantasy of what I'm gonna say to my husband. And I was like, okay, lay it on me. And then she would just chew his ass out and then would finish that cigarette and she would say, let's double shot. And that means light another cigarette. Yeah. And then we just light another one. And that's it. And then you should say this. And this would go on for like an hour, right?

[Angie]

Until the kids got up. Because we got up super early before the kids so we could do this.

[Jennifer]

Sometimes the kids were watching, watching cartoons, eating junk food. But what does that matter? We were having therapy.

[Angie]

They're all fine now.

[Jennifer]

They're all fine. Yeah.

[Angie]

Nobody died.

[Jennifer]

Okay, listen. We have as many of you know, another podcast called I Hip News. And it is a way to stay engaged with the insanity that is the Trump era administration. Ten to 15 minute, short, digestible doses with a little bit of humor in it. But what they're going to try to do is wear you down and exhaust you to where you don't give a shit anymore.

[Angie]

Right.

[Jennifer]

It is important to stay engaged. So make sure you subscribe to that podcast. If you're on YouTube, it all comes in one main feed, but if you're a listener, you need to subscribe to both. And pumps.

[Angie]

Tell them we will see you next Tuesday and Thursday. I'll tell you what I've had it with.

[Jennifer]

Let's hear it. I've had it with that.
