In the episode titled "New Year, Same Us," hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan delve into their perennial grievances as they welcome the new year.

---

New Year Resolutions and Philosophies

Kylie (Angie “Pumps” Sullivan starts the episode by dismissing traditional New Year's resolutions. Instead of pledging to change, she humorously decides to amplify her "character defects" to brace for the upcoming challenges.

[01:27] Angie: "What I've had it with is people making New Year's resolutions. Because my resolution is not to make a resolution because I'm an all year round. I embrace it."

In contrast, Kylie pledges to take the high road, aiming to introduce gratitude into their podcast episodes, although she later retracts the idea, highlighting her skepticism.

[02:25] Kylie: "I'm gonna be up there just taking the high road left and right. I'm gonna try to be kinder."

Primary Grievances Discussed

1. Public Displays of Affection (PDA)

Kylie expresses strong disdain for public displays of affection, particularly when perceived as inauthentic or involving individuals she deems unattractive.

[03:48] Angie: "Pda. I would like to add a layer of it. Ugly people PDA is a more egregious violation than pretty people PDA."

The hosts debate the subjective nature of attractiveness and the impact of PDA in public settings, emphasizing personal boundaries and societal norms.

2. Instagram Mom Culture

Listener Olivia voices her frustration with "Instagram moms" who excessively share their maternal experiences online, portraying an unrealistic and narcissistic image.

[15:00] Olivia: "I've absolutely fucking had it with these stupid ass Instagram moms saying things like thank you my baby, for choosing me to be your mommy."

Kylie and Angie resonate with Olivia's sentiments, critiquing the performative aspect of online motherhood and its impact on genuine connections.

3. Forced Philanthropy in Retail Settings

Mackenzie shares her annoyance with mandatory donation requests at stores like Walgreens, where she's pressured to donate to charitable causes during transactions.

[22:11] Mackenzie: "I have absolutely had it with getting up to the goddamn register and the cashier asking, would you like to donate a dollar and join the fight to end cancer with the American Cancer Society."

The hosts argue that such practices burden consumers, particularly those already struggling financially, and call for corporations to shoulder more responsibility in philanthropy.

4. Misuse of the Term "Partner" and "Ninja Lesbians"

Listener Tammy M. highlights her frustration with straight women appropriating the term "partner," traditionally used within the LGBTQ+ community. She introduces the concept of "ninja lesbians" — super feminine individuals who discreetly maintain their lesbian identity.

[26:12] Olivia: "Straight women using the term partner for their male boyfriend or male husband, period. The term partner has been reserved and used by the gay community since existence because we were not allowed to be legally married."

Kylie and Angie appreciate the new terminology, discussing the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in maintaining authentic identities amidst societal pressures.

5. Senior Discount Overuse

Michelle M. vents her irritation with seniors who excessively flaunt their discounts, especially in grocery stores, often hindering others with their prolonged checkout processes.

[31:21] J (Michelle): "When do I get a day during the goddamn grocery store. They leave their cart a mile away in my way to go get their goddamn cheapest."

The conversation evolves into a debate on the appropriateness of senior discounts, with the hosts suggesting that financial struggles among younger demographics might be more pressing.

6. Aggressive Driving and Traffic Cutting

Listener Jessica S. complains about drivers who aggressively attempt to cut into traffic, especially during peak hours, causing frustration and potential safety hazards.

[37:08] Olivia: "When there is a lot of traffic, especially in the afternoons getting off work and there's a line of traffic and some fucker wants to come up the side of everyone else just so he can jump in front of you."

Kylie and Angie share their own experiences and agree on the importance of adhering to traffic rules to maintain order and safety on the roads.

Voice Memos and Listener Interactions

Throughout the episode, the hosts feature voice memos from listeners, celebrating their shared frustrations and adding a communal feel to the podcast. These segments provide raw and unfiltered opinions, further reinforcing the show's theme of airing petty grievances for comedic relief.

---

Final Thoughts and Conclusions

As the episode wraps up, Jennifer, the system announcer, reiterates the theme of human connection amidst a fragmented world, aligning with the hosts' discussions on empathy and shared experiences.

[41:46] Jennifer: "At Amica, we understand that looking out for each other isn't new or groundbreaking. It's human. Amica empathy is our best policy."

The hosts leave listeners with a sense of camaraderie, encouraging them to embrace their frustrations and find humor in the everyday annoyances that unite them.

Transcript

[Jennifer]

Every day, our world gets a little more connected, but a little further apart. But then there are moments that remind us to be more human.

[Angie]

Thank you for calling Amica Insurance. Hey, I was just in an accident. Don't worry, we'll get you taken care of.

[Jennifer]

At Ameca, we understand that looking out for each other isn't new or groundbreaking. Human Amica empathy is our best policy.

[Kylie]

So are we supposed to start the podcast?

[Angie]

Ready? 1, 2, 3.

[Kylie]

That was pretty good.

[Angie]

Pretty good. To start the new year patriots and.

[Kylie]

Gaytriots and theatriots, we're heading into a new year. I Unchartered waters and pumps will be your calm in the storm. And whenever you're in public and you see egregious violations that you would only see in Trump's America, do the following as loud as you can. That's what you do. Yeah. It's just going to be a defense mechanism.

[Angie]

And you might be the only one that knows what it is, but you'll feel better.

[Kylie]

Yeah. And people can look and be like, oh, that person is crazy. But you'll just know that there are an army of people on island that supports you and love you and that you just need to belt out from the rooftops through. All right, pumps. What have you had it with?

[Angie]

Okay, what I've had it with is people making New Year's resolutions. Because my resolution is not to make a resolution because I'm an all year round. I embrace it. I'm just embracing all my character defects, all my shittiness, all my pettiness. I'm going to amplify it 20, 25. You know why? Because it's going to take a lot to get through the next four years.

[Kylie]

Yeah.

[Angie]

I'm going to start by being a bigger dick. A bigger. So I hate resolutions, but I have one.

[Kylie]

Okay, I. I like that. Your resolution is to be meaner, Right?

[Angie]

My resolution is to be. I'm going to try to amp up. You know, Michelle Obama, they go low, we go high.

[Kylie]

Right. Right.

[Angie]

They're gonna go solo. We can't imagine how low. And so I'm gonna strive to go.

[Kylie]

Lower at every turn.

[Angie]

At every turn.

[Kylie]

All right. I like it. I'm totally on board with that. I think I'm going to dance around on the high road this new year.

[Angie]

Really?

[Kylie]

Yeah. I'm gonna be up there just taking the high road left and right. I'm gonna try to be kinder. Instead of starting off each episode with a grievance, I'm gonna start off with gratitude. Something I have Gratitude for. Yeah.

[Angie]

You know, they say you can't be stressed.

[Kylie]

Why?

[Angie]

If you're thinking about what you're grateful.

[Kylie]

For, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to have no stress, and all I'm going to do is just vomit up gratitude, serenity, platitude, all of that stuff.

[Angie]

Yeah, we should start reciting the beginning of every episode. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

[Kylie]

You know? You know how I feel about prayer.

[Angie]

I know, but that's more of a. I don't really consider it a prayer.

[Kylie]

The serenity prayer. Serenity prayer.

[Angie]

I mean, it says it's a prayer, but I think if it's more of like, it's a reminder that you're. And sometimes you just have to be. And accept that you're.

[Kylie]

Anyway, I'm just kidding, you guys. I'm not going to start off.

[Angie]

I was gonna say that's gonna be the shortest lived resolution in the history of all resolutions.

[Kylie]

I am not going to start off each episode with a gratitude list because quite frankly, I am not that grateful for many things. And in 2025, I want to point out more, and I want a lot of it to be focused on the find out phase that all these Trump voters fucked around with.

[Angie]

Yep.

[Kylie]

I'd like to highlight when they start finding out that Trump isn't the president, that it's actually Elon Musk, who's not even American.

[Angie]

Right.

[Kylie]

Yeah.

[Angie]

And Putin.

[Kylie]

Yeah. And all that shit. So that's going to be a lot of fun. But let me tell you what I've had it with. Okay? This is just a personal thing that I saw the other day that I wanted to share with you and the listener that I thought was a huge violation. Pulled up to 7 11, pumped some gas, got my credit card in, got the nozzle in, got it all set, went back and sat driver's seat. And there's another car and we're nose to nose. Right. Well, the gal is pumping the gas. The guy is sitting behind the wheel. She goes up to him and their doors open and she leans in and they start stage five making out.

[Angie]

Oh, I was afraid you were going to say that.

[Kylie]

It is PDA at the gas pump. Gross. It is. And here's the thing, and this is going to sound terrible, and I know I'm a terrible person for saying this, these people were not attracted at all.

[Angie]

Which made it worse.

[Kylie]

So it was like ugly people pda.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Kylie]

Which is an especially egregious violation. And so it was like one of those things, you know, sometimes you see couples and you think, God, do they do it? And then you start to see them do it in real life. It's horrifying and it's a nightmare. A nightmare at the gas pump. That's what I had to go through the other day. So just like to double down, circle back on some grievances that I've had this past year. Pda. I would like to add a layer of it. Ugly people PDA is a more egregious violation than pretty people pda. And I know I shouldn't say that, but in Trump's America, we're going to start being more honest.

[Angie]

The fact checking must start now.

[Kylie]

We're going to be more honest. And I think if you're hooked up to True Serum and a polygraph, if you have to see people make out, you're always going to lean to seeing more attractive people making out.

[Angie]

I don't even think anybody would argue that.

[Kylie]

I think ugly people would.

[Angie]

True. But if you. Okay, but here's the thing. This is like a universe question. Like if you're super ugly and your makeup partner is super ugly, you think they're attractive. So you don't know that they're ugly. So that's the thing, right? I, although I knew my ex husband wasn't cute.

[Kylie]

Yeah, you knew.

[Angie]

I knew and married him anyway. Chased him down the aisle.

[Kylie]

All the things you even baby talked with him.

[Angie]

I've been told that. I don't remember.

[Kylie]

I heard it, I remember it.

[Angie]

But I'm, I'm not going to deny it.

[Kylie]

There was some baby talk going on.

[Angie]

I mean, I think you do know. I think you know, like I know, I look in the mirror and I know she's not what it was. It's not as great as it, you know somebody else.

[Kylie]

I think you're very attractive, average.

[Angie]

You know what I mean?

[Kylie]

I think you're very pretty. But in general terms, I'm just saying I've had it with pda. And then I think an extra layer of grievance that I have to. It is when you have very unattractive people participating in pda, it adds an extra layer of distaste that I do not like. And I just wanted to bring that to everybody's attention.

[Angie]

Remember I told you the story about the ugly people playing grab ass the security line and it just was more than I could take. I mean, it's just. I agree they have to be attractive. I mean, if you have to suffer through it, let them at least be attractive.

[Kylie]

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

[Angie]

I'm Angie.

[Kylie]

Kylie.

[Tammy]

I have a really big announcement.

[Angie]

Okay, what is it?

[Tammy]

We have hit 12,010 reviews on Apple.

[Kylie]

Yay.

[Angie]

That is so cool. I'm excited about that. Now you're going to browbeat for 15, but I'm going to celebrate 12.

[Kylie]

Good for you.

[Tammy]

Okay, I've got a five star review. And they write. Hello, Pump Tina and her hot lesbian friend. I came across this podcast probably a year ago. I saw two women who looked incredibly young talking about what bothered them and I assumed they were mama bears who make having children their whole personality. I was pleasantly surprised when just like me and my husband, they just complain and air the petty grievances about the dumbed down people they encounter every day. Keep up the great work ladies. We appreciate your insight, candor and most of all your dirty mouths. Love a homosexual from the hellscape that is Iowa.

[Kylie]

I love that.

[Angie]

That just makes me tingle inside. It makes me so happy.

[Kylie]

I love that they call out the women that make having a child their whole personality. Absolutely. It is fingernails on a chalkboard when women sit and incessantly talk about about their kids. It has always driven me crazy. I have always had a extreme self awareness that nobody gives a shit about what my kids are doing except for myself and the blood relatives. That's it. And even some other blood relatives are probably like I don't give a shit what Dylan and Roman are doing.

[Angie]

Right?

[Kylie]

But the whole identity of being a mother, it is, it's sad because these are the women that just feel so lost when their kids grow up, right?

[Angie]

They just don't have anything else. They need part time jobs, they need more to do. Starbucks and being a mother is just not enough.

[Tammy]

Okay, this one's five stars titled I if you're not laughing, you're crying. And she writes, Jen and pumps are unhinged, unstoppable and somehow always right. Do yourself a favor and hit play. You're welcome. Love a Gen Zerk a Gen Z er.

[Angie]

That's exciting.

[Kylie]

Yes. So I agree. Unhinged, unstoppable. And the most important part of that was always right.

[Angie]

Right?

[Kylie]

And so I want to just say into this new year, I have some predictions, some things that I predict are going to happen. I think there's going to be more scandals involving Stanley cups than just the 2.6 million recall that recently happened. I think there's going to be a lot more. And I, I am going to do everything in my power to End the top knot headbands because I can't look at them anymore.

[Angie]

They're awful.

[Kylie]

I can't. I can't look at somebody with a horn on their head. I can't look at it anymore. I don't know why so many people look in the mirror and think, God damn, this horn on my head looks so great today.

[Angie]

Okay, that just kind of makes my point, though, about the unattractive people making out in public. Like, whoever has that top knot headband bejeweled, bedazzled with pearls. I see them with pearls all the time, like big pearls. They look in the mirror and they're like, I look great. This is a great look for me.

[Kylie]

This just goes back to, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[Angie]

That's what I'm saying. So, like, you know, maybe that's the way it should be.

[Kylie]

Well, for sure. For sure should be that way. I mean, of course, the two people that I saw at 7:11 making out that I found to be unattractive, they found each other to be attractive. And one could argue there's something beautiful in that, right? But that's not this podcast. This podcast is talking about, how dare you. How dare your ugly asses back down and make out and fill each other up while you're filling up your tank. I have had it. That's what this podcast is about. There are other podcasts where they will tell people, that's beautiful what you did. It's. Y'all are beautiful. All of those things. That's not what this podcast is.

[Angie]

Not here.

[Kylie]

No, no.

[Angie]

Not today.

[Kylie]

Okay. So I believe what we're going to do in this episode is we are going to play our greatest hits voice memos, some oldies but goodies. You will want to stay tuned to listen to each and every one of them because these are Kylie's favorites. 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?

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

[Kylie]

All right, Kylie, who is our first contestant on this game show of ours? I've had it.

[Tammy]

Up first we've got Olivia.

[Jessica]

Hi Jessica. Hi Pomps. I'm originally from Poland, but I've been living in the US for the past eight years. So I've accumulated an entire book of I've had it about the American people, so let me at least share one. I've absolutely fucking had it with these stupid ass Instagram moms saying things like thank you my baby, for choosing me to be your mommy. No, you were raw dogging on vacation in Florida. You got pregnant and now you have a baby. Don't make anything more of it. And besides, how fucking narcissistic of you to think that this baby, out of all the moms out there, would choose your stupid ass. Who posts stuff like that on Instagram? Fucking clowns. Anyways, love you guys.

[Kylie]

Oh, my God, that is good. Check that into my veins. It's so good.

[Angie]

It is the best.

[Kylie]

Kylie, I need for you to text message that to me so I can put it in my sounds on my phone so I can just listen to it when I need. When I need a. Some people want to hear inspirational quotes to put them in a good mood. I want to hear that.

[Tammy]

I got you that.

[Angie]

The clown at the end was the best.

[Kylie]

That puts me in a good mood.

[Tammy]

I love how narcissistic that you think that baby would choose you.

[Kylie]

What about. What about you? You were raw talking.

[Tammy]

Hey, Florida.

[Kylie]

It's true. The Instagram mom culture, it's bad. It's so over the top. She's probably talking about a two or three year old that doesn't have Instagram. So the kid's not seeing it. So it's totally performative.

[Angie]

Wouldn't it be nice if, like, in 18 years you could follow that same person? The kid gets on and goes, that woman was the biggest nut I hated. Her guts just go on and on and on. And I didn't choose her. I was forced to come out that uterus. No, that was bad. That was great.

[Kylie]

No, that. She's right, though. The Instagram mom culture in America is just. It's so over the top. It's like being a mother is this new original, right?

[Angie]

First generation.

[Kylie]

And this child is the most. The first of its species of its kind that's ever, you know, walked the planet Earth. And I chose this child and this child chose me. And serendipity injecting into the veins and it's total. You bred, you, bread, you. You raw dogged. You popped out a kid, right? Okay. Your kid is every bit as special as everybody else's, which is not that special. And your journey into motherhood is about like ours. It just is what it is.

[Angie]

It is what it is.

[Kylie]

Wonderful to you and to you personally. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass. And I think it's more refreshing.

[Angie]

I do too.

[Kylie]

When I hear a mother say, being a mother is so great, but it's also equal parts exhausting, lonely, isolated, miserable and difficult. And that's the type of mother I want to talk to.

[Angie]

Those are the people I gravitate to.

[Kylie]

The ones that are wives.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Kylie]

That put out this whole, you know, I can't take it, it's too much.

[Angie]

But you know what's so great about at our age, again, is that we've cultivated our friends so well that those people are at arm's length. Oh, yeah, like we might see him on Instagram, but that's as close as they're going to get.

[Kylie]

I saw on Instagram the other day, a gal was posting, she was recommending. I think we've talked about this before, but it's worth a revisit. Recommending school drop off looks.

[Angie]

Oh, that's right. Yes, I remember. You sent that to me and I just thought, go yourself. Nobody except you cares what you're wearing at drop off. Nobody. Universally, you're the only person out of 8 billion people that cares. And for you to post it on the Instagram as a drop off look, I mean, that just the height of narcissism.

[Kylie]

And it goes back to this point. You really shouldn't be up at your kids school, right? And the schools, these, it's not good for the teachers, it's not good for the administrators, and it sure as fuck isn't good for these kids. Because just as much as a mom needs a break from the kid, the kid needs a break from the mom. My kids needed a break from me. They needed to go play with people their size, with their same developmental stage, and they needed to make friends. And I, I'm. I oppose these parents helicoptering around these schools. It's ridiculous. It wasn't like that when we were.

[Angie]

No, it was not.

[Kylie]

I think it exacerbates anxiety. I think it's a pain in the ass for these teachers, it's a pain in pain in the ass for these administrators. And I think that they need to stand up full force. And if people want to go dictate what goes on in public schools and they don't like it, then fucking homeschool your kid.

[Angie]

Right? That's an easy fix.

[Kylie]

Get out all your textbooks and you sit there with your fucking brat and you homeschool them, but don't go piling on to all these poor teachers because your child chose you. And you'll have this most unique bond that no other mother and child have ever experienced any species on the planet Earth off. But one thing I want to point out to the listener is when you would drop off your kids in the robe before your white suburban petri Dish of a car had even come out of the circle drive for drop off. A surgical glove was put on your hand. A Marlboro light box was packed.

[Angie]

Oh, absolutely.

[Kylie]

You were lighting a girt in this red robe as you're pulling out a carpool line with the mother who you're having to pass. The mother who says, I'm so glad this child chose me, giving you the.

[Angie]

Stink eye in her outfit of the day.

[Kylie]

In her outfit of the day as you're blowing smoke out the window. That is great.

[Angie]

It is. And remember that one day I called you, I was like, pulling out a carpool, lit up my cigarette, and a mom in front of me lit out the cigarette. And I remember I called. She was like, oh, my God, there's two of us. I'm so happy. Yeah, she was blowing smoke out of hers too. Yeah, I was barely out of carpool line before I was.

[Tammy]

Do you think your kids were glad they chose you in that moment?

[Angie]

I think my kids are always so glad they chose me every minute of the day.

[Kylie]

That's just such a. I mean, that's so stupid. That's so stupid. Here's what. All it is, is what she said. You're raw dogging, everybody's all hot and bothered, and that's all there is to it. And you've got this person set of genetics and this person's set of genetics, and it's just a scientific thing. Happens with all species. Not unique to you. The kid didn't choose you.

[Angie]

The kid didn't choose you. I hate to break your heart.

[Kylie]

Yeah. Her. Her love, the gal from Poland. What's her name?

[Tammy]

That was Olivia.

[Kylie]

Olivia. Olivia. That goes down in the I've had it hall of fame.

[Angie]

Yes.

[Kylie]

Because some people want inspirational quotes. I want that.

[Angie]

I want that.

[Kylie]

That puts me in a good and I don't care who knows it. Kylie, who's next?

[Tammy]

Up next, we've got Mackenzie, Jen and Pumps.

[Mackenzie]

I am coming at you from Wisconsin, and I have absolutely had it with getting up to the goddamn register and the cashier asking, would you like to donate a dollar and join the fight to end cancer with the American can, you know, cancer society? Then I. I look like an evil right saying, you know, no, no, thank you. Not today. I mean, this literally just happened to me. I'm at Walgreens, and the kid behind me says, loud enough for everyone to hear, he looks at his mom and he says, I hope you choose to donate, mom. You know, then I feel the need to defend myself and, like, you know, no, I. I do donate and whatever, but it's just like, you know, I would have loved to look at them and say, you know, you and Walgreens corporate and all of their goddamn tax write offs. But, yeah, I have just absolutely had it.

[Angie]

That's fantastic, because that happened to me this week. This very week.

[Kylie]

And I always say, no, it's forced philanthropy, right?

[Angie]

And here's the deal. Walgreens is awful from the job.

[Kylie]

That is such bullshit. It is. It is forced philanthropy. Walgreens goes trotting around making billions of dollars in revenue, and instead of them being the philanthropic that they want us to be, they need to do it. I'm tired. All the tipping stuff we talked about a couple episodes ago, what this is, is corporations putting the burden of all of this stuff on working class people. And I guarantee you they're tax dodgers, because all the breaks, all the tax breaks are for corporations like this. And they pay their employees probably minimum wage, which hasn't been raised in, like, a decade, right? So then instead of them saying, hey, you know what? American Heart Association, American Cancer association, here's a billion dollars, because we have, like, hundreds of billions, right? We're gonna. We're gonna guilt our customers into donating, and we're gonna make them look like assholes when our cashier calls it out. So here's what I have to say to Walgreens into cvs. Pay your employees more, and you donate the money, right? I don't want to be forced into philanthropy, nor shamed into philanthropy. It wants to. I want it to be my choice, right?

[Angie]

Well, it's the shaming. It's just the shaming like that. You have to say no. Like some places you go, and it'll say, do you want to donate? And you can just hit no. There's not any that needs to be removed 100% bad. But it's worse when they ask you, and then you've got that little. I mean, I wish she would have just turned around and slapped the out of him. And his mother was probably like, oh, little Johnny. I mean, you just know she was awful. If he felt liberated enough to say that loud enough for her to hear.

[Kylie]

What a little.

[Angie]

He's a little.

[Kylie]

I wonder if his mom pushes pills on him.

[Angie]

Off.

[Kylie]

They were at Walgreens.

[Angie]

I don't go to Walgreens. I've boycotted Walgreens years ago. I hate that place.

[Kylie]

You do? Why?

[Angie]

Because you always have to stand in line. I mean, I just hate everything about it.

[Kylie]

What about cvs?

[Angie]

I don't like that either. I mean, if I have to go in there, I might, but it would be like gun to my head.

[Kylie]

Well, I think that she's on to something with the forced philanthropy. I think it goes right there with the tip jars. Starbucks, pay your employees a livable wage because Congress isn't going to do about it because they're too busy harassing drag queens. So corporate America, you donate the money, right? And you pay people a livable wage and get off our backs. Why does, why do we have to pay all these people? They're the ones with all the billions of dollars. Right? When you get Bernie Sanders on this.

[Tammy]

Show, I'll work on it.

[Kylie]

Thank you.

[Angie]

I'm sure he'll be first one out.

[Kylie]

I think he's probably had it with a lot of.

[Angie]

He would probably be the king if I've had it.

[Kylie]

Totally, totally. Okay, Kylie, who's next?

[Tammy]

Okay, up next we've got Tammy M.

[Olivia]

Here is what I've had it with. I've had it with straight women using the term partner for their male boyfriend or male husband, period. The term partner has been reserved and used by the gay community since existence because we were not allowed to be legally married. So we use the term partner now. It doesn't bother me so much. However, my partner, she's what we call a lesbian ninja. She is super feminine, so she walks amongst the straits completely undetected. So when she meets another female who starts talking about their partner, my ninja lesbian gets all excited thinking she's met another ninja lesbian, only for that woman to whip out a picture of her boyfriend or husband and totally shatter her dreams. So straight people stop using the term partner. That's ours. It's all we got.

[I]

I love it.

[Angie]

I love it.

[Kylie]

A couple of things to unpack here.

[Angie]

Okay.

[Kylie]

First and foremost, she's 100% right. Yes. Straight people have gobbled that up. And that's not right. Right. That is exclusively for gay people, I think.

[Angie]

Yeah, I agree with that.

[Kylie]

Right. Secondly, I've got to talk about ninja lesbians. The first time I've ever heard it. I have. We have got to dissect this shit because that is fucking 10 out of 10.

[Angie]

I had never heard that either. And I love it. So a ninja lesbian is the super feminine that can dolls up.

[Kylie]

According to Tammy, the ninja lesbian can go about and interact with the straights undetected as a lesbian.

[Angie]

Right.

[Kylie]

So she's out, like totally. It's like stealth lesbianism.

[Angie]

Yes.

[Kylie]

Uh huh. I mean, I play pickleball with a lot of lesbians. And there's a couple of them that if I didn't know that they were gay, I would. They would definitely be ninja lesbians. But of course I know that they are. Right. I love this whole ninja.

[Angie]

It's a new word. Is that a word that is common amongst the lesbian community?

[Tammy]

I had never heard it.

[Kylie]

Okay.

[Angie]

All right.

[Kylie]

Ninja lesbians, new word from Tammy. You are welcome here on I've had a podcast. We want to know what you've had it with. Ninja lesbians, our new obsession.

[Angie]

New obsession.

[Kylie]

Kylie, how do you feel about ninja lesbians?

[Tammy]

I think I'm dating one.

[Kylie]

You for sure? You sure are for sure. Anna is 100 a ninja lesbian.

[Angie]

Yes.

[Tammy]

She's a walking Bratz dollar.

[Kylie]

Yes.

[Tammy]

You would never know.

[Angie]

Never in a million years.

[Kylie]

She is 1000% the poster child for a ninja lesbian. Yes. For this episode of I've had it, we've partnered with eharmony, the dating app, to find someone you can be yourself with. Pumps. How's it going over at eharmony?

[Tammy]

Okay, up next we've got Michelle M. Hello, ladies.

[J]

This is what I've had it with. Senior discount day. Now listen, pumps, you might be close, so I get it. You want to reap the benefits. Jennifer. Not even close. Not even. But when's my day? I'm 36 years old. When do I get a day during the goddamn grocery store. They leave their cart a mile away in my way to go get their goddamn cheapest. Whatever meat, whatever goddamn thing they need. Or they cut you off if you're in. If you're waiting to get me. They, they just, they, they don't even notice you're there. They're like you. Then you go to the checkout line and it's eye roll. Goddamn city. Like, oh, where the you gotta go, Karen, Go sit on your goddamn couch and watch a soap opera. I've had it.

[Kylie]

Michelle. Yeah, Michelle. There's so much to unpack there. Number one, five stars on the delivery. Or Starbucks would say seven stars. Seven stars, that is. And here's the deal. She is 100% right. Senior citizens with the senior discounts. It, it is a lot. We both have parents that are seniors and they like to grandstand nothing more.

[Angie]

Than they love to tell you about their discount.

[Kylie]

And we're talking a dollar fifty.

[Angie]

No, my mom used to lie to get the discount to go into the movies.

[Kylie]

I will be, I mean, you know, what is that? Charlton Heston from my cold dead hands. I mean, I will be like, I'm not a senior. What are you talking about?

[Angie]

Football game last year that I went to that I. Because typically they have a card reader. You can use your card. Well, I only had like $5. And so I set my purse down. I was like, y'all, I don't think I have. They didn't have a card reader. It was cash only. And I was like, y'all, I don't think I'm going to be able to come in. I only have $5. And the guy selling me the ticket said, well, you get the senior citizen discount. And it's only $5. And so I said, you think I am a senior citizen? And he got super embarrassed. Well, every time I would go to the bathroom, I'd say something quibby to him about it. And by the time I left, he's like, you're gonna make me cry. This is terrible. I mean, I just would not let up on it. A senior. Me?

[Kylie]

Well, I mean, you're the one. I mean, you gotta get bangs in like a year.

[Angie]

But I mean, I just was like.

[Kylie]

Here'S the deal though. Back, back to Michelle's point. Like, these seniors, like, my dad will go on and on about the senior discount that he got. And at some points I just want to say I'll give you the $2 so we don't have to hear about it anymore. Right, right. I mean, like, it is not interesting nor fun. And I'm glad that you got to save money. But to Michelle's point, like, I. When I've had been able to, you know, accumulate money as I've gotten older, the time that I needed the discount was when I was. When Michelle's age, right?

[Angie]

Oh, absolutely.

[Kylie]

That's who needs the discount. This seniors, they're not paying for kids anymore. And then we wouldn't have if. I think we need to take the senior citizen discount away and give it to like the, you know, 25 to 35. Those are the people that are really struggling financially. Like the hustle discount. When you're out there hustling for life. Senior citizens, they've got it. But I'll tell you my favorite thing. She said, I roll goddamn city. And I think Kylie made us something because I love this so much that we now have a gold button. Michelle.

[Angie]

Oh, gosh.

[Kylie]

I'm gonna put it right. Where's the speaker? Here. Are you ready? So every time you say something I think is stupid, I'm going to do this. That is the best.

[Angie]

Where's mine?

[Kylie]

So I'm gonna keep it right here. Michelle. That's probably one of my favorite lines.

[Angie]

Kylie, where's mine?

[Kylie]

Out of any color you don't get. We don't give seniors off electrical devices.

[Angie]

What's their vibrators?

[Kylie]

I love it. Michelle, you are so right. I've had it with the seniors and their discounts. And they're constantly flexing about the discount. Mom and dad, if you're listening, we're all tired of hearing about the discount. Nobody cares.

[Angie]

Nobody cares.

[Kylie]

It's not interesting.

[Angie]

Another thing she points out is the lingering at the meat counter.

[Kylie]

They do.

[Angie]

They linger there and it's like, all I have to do is grab this right in front of you. And I've just gotten kind of aggressive with them.

[Kylie]

And there's a. There's like. They do cut. They totally cut. They're total cutters.

[Angie]

The.

[Kylie]

The self awareness starts to leave and it's not all seniors, but like, it's just like, why, why are they getting the discount at that age?

[Angie]

Maybe because they're getting seen.

[Kylie]

We need it in the hustle era, right? I needed the discount when I was her age.

[Angie]

Absolutely. Yeah.

[Kylie]

That's when. I mean, that's when you're just like adulthood is just slapping you in the face. And you. You're paying here, paying here, paying here. By the time you're a senior, your house is probably paid for or getting close to being pa Kids are out of college or out of, you know, a vocational.

[Angie]

Expenses are exponentially less.

[Kylie]

A lot less. Yeah, Michelle, I think this is something we need to stand for. Ban the senior discount.

[Angie]

What are we going to name the gold button?

[Kylie]

Huh? Oh, it's Ey Roll Goddamn city.

[J]

I Roll Godamn city.

[Angie]

That we're going to name it too.

[Kylie]

Whenever you say something stupid, that's what I'm going to do.

[Angie]

Stupid button.

[Kylie]

The stupid button.

[Angie]

Okay.

[Kylie]

Yeah.

[Angie]

Kylie, I feel like you're showing favoritism that you got her the button and didn't get me.

[Kylie]

Get over it.

[Angie]

I'm just gonna say.

[Tammy]

It'S getting a lot of use already.

[Kylie]

Yeah.

[Tammy]

Okay, last one is Jessica S. So.

[I]

First of all, I just want to say that I really love you guys. When I have to travel for work, you really make things interesting. But okay, enough of that. So what I've had it with is when there is a lot of traffic, especially in the afternoons getting off work and there's a line of traffic and some fucker wants to come up the side of everyone else just so he can jump in front of you. Absolutely not. I will not let it happen. I will inch so close to the person in front of me that you can't put a fucking piece of paper in between us before you get in front of me. Or like on the interstate when there's a line of traffic, traffic and traffic stopped and people want to come up on the shoulder. Like, I really hope that you get a flat tire on whatever trash is on the side of the interstate. And I hope that you don't have aaa.

[Kylie]

It's such a good one.

[Angie]

Oh, it's so great.

[Kylie]

So it is so I get furious.

[Angie]

At people that try to cut in too.

[Kylie]

She is not gonna have it. I'm not gonna have it. Is not happening on her watch. You couldn't fit a piece of paper.

[Angie]

I love that.

[Kylie]

I mean. And you know, and she's right. There's always some hot shot grandstand.

[Angie]

Always, always.

[Kylie]

That's got a big over fly down.

[Angie]

The shoulder so that he can ram in front.

[Kylie]

And she will not.

[Angie]

I love it that she will not let him in.

[Kylie]

I'm kind of the same way.

[Angie]

I kind of am too. But I wouldn't go that aggressive. Aggressive. Like I'd be too scared. I would have a wreck.

[Kylie]

I'm going to start going.

[Angie]

I am too. I mean, I think that's goals.

[Kylie]

Let's go for broke. And I think everybody should do it. So that person's just sitting over there in the show. An hour in the other lane. Yeah. Just stuck. And it's like, sorry, sorry.

[Angie]

Get in line with everybody else.

[Kylie]

Yeah, that's right.

[Angie]

There's a line starts back there.

[Kylie]

Oh, my God, she is so.

[Angie]

I love that. Yeah. Jessica, we're gonna model you.

[Kylie]

Yeah. And I think, I think that like, you know how maybe it's like a four lane highway, right? And you're. Maybe I'm in the second lane. Like there's the fast lane, which is the left lane. And then one lane over and about two miles out from my exit, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna start making it over.

[Angie]

Right.

[Kylie]

And then the people that like won't let you get over. I wonder if she would be. I think she would let the person go if they're going against the grain to get it to the exit.

[Angie]

Right. I think she's just saying, like, you're not waiting your turn. Right. Nobody wants to be here in this line, but we have to be here.

[Kylie]

Right.

[Angie]

And you're trying to cut.

[Kylie]

She's not having it.

[Angie]

She will not have it. Not on her watch.

[Kylie]

No. She hopes they don't have AAA and she hopes they get a flat.

[Angie]

That was good.

[Kylie]

It was so good. I have to say. Callers voice memoers. Thank you so much. Please go to our Instagram and leave a voice memo. We need even more for 2025. They are our favorite episodes.

Every day our world gets a little more connected, but a little further apart. But then there are moments that remind us to be more human.

[Angie]
