Episode Overview

In this irreverent, comedic episode of "I've Had It," hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan return to gripe, improvise, and commiserate about all the things they – and their listeners – have absolutely had it with. Touching on everything from intrusive neighbors and religious holiday inequities to fake corporate speak and political hypocrisy, the episode is a hilarious but pointed take on navigating modern life, societal expectations, and the latest in the news cycle. Special emphasis is placed on acts of resistance—both radical and mundane—from radical love for trans kids to a proud party trick involving nipples and hangers.

Key Discussion Points

1. Doorbell Drama & Small Talk Hostage Situations

[01:34-03:38]

• Angie vents about neighbors who, rather than just leaving a misdelivered package on her porch, ring the bell, setting off her dogs and trapping her in 20 minutes of unwanted chitchat.
  • "I was kidnapped and held hostage by a super sweet neighbor... just gross small talk in my house with my dogs going crazy. And I was just like, I am such a gracious neighbor..." – Angie [01:53]
• Jennifer likens this to feeding a stray cat: “...now the cat will come back for more food. That's the problem.” [03:38]

2. The Great Religious Holiday PTO Swindle

[03:57-08:53]

• Jennifer rails against "holiday abuse," noting that secular/non-religious people lack an equivalent of the multi-day PTO orgy provided by Easter, Passover, etc.
  • “I want the luxury of piling on extra days of not working and... we don’t get jack.” – Jennifer [04:41]
• Discussion about the emergence of “Easter Monday,” the elasticity of religious holidays, and why the non-religious deserve their own time off.
  • “The devil works hard, but I've had it works harder.” – Jennifer [07:36]
• Suggested new secular holidays like “Off Friday” or “Darwin Week.”
• Humor and sly political shade hurled at “Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson” for not getting Congress to act on holiday discrimination.
  • “If we had a Congress that wasn’t led by an impotent little man named Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson, we could have... Congress act on this. This is holiday discrimination.” – Jennifer [06:57]

3. Listener Reviews & Trumpian Whiplash

[09:58-13:25]

• Listener JB: Finds comfort in "I've Had It" amidst “maga, knuckle draggers and conspiracy hobbyists.”
  • “Your work isn’t just entertaining, it’s necessary... this podcast feels like a small, defiant island of sanity.” – Listener JB, read by Kylie [09:58]
• Jennifer & Angie discuss the sudden right-wing pivot calling for the 25th amendment, the rapid shift of conspiracy talkers like Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, and the bizarre international Trump fandom.
• Observations about loyalty and hypocrisy among MAGA constituents, especially after Trump calls for extreme measures abroad.

4. The "Nipples for the Resistance" Origin Story

[14:08-15:53]

• Angie recounts the legendary “nipple hanger” party trick from her youth—back when her "boobs were rockets" and could support a hanger.
  • “I could take, like, a wooden hanger... and I could hang it on my nipples. They were at such attention. And so that was kind of a party trick...” – Angie [14:18]
• Jennifer suggests Angie should bring out the trick as a signal of patriotic resistance when “it happens.”
  • “One of the best ideas you've had since we started this podcast.” [15:15]
• Angie jokes about painting a hanger red, white, and blue for the occasion.

5. Dads for Trans Kids – Radical Love as Resistance

[19:36-23:24]

• Jennifer highlights a documentary, “The Dads,” produced by Dwyane Wade, about fathers fighting for their trans kids.
  • “Fatherhood as an act of radical love and resistance... I just think this group of dads is exactly what I needed in this crazy news week...” – Jennifer [21:56]
• Discussion of intense hostility the Wade family endures and the importance of unconditional support for marginalized children.
  • “Not only are they choosing radical love, but they are putting themselves out there as real men.” – Jennifer [21:34]
• Angie praises the example these fathers are setting, emphasizing the need for dads to stand up against faux masculinity.

6. Corporate Speak – Science Catches Up with "I've Had It"

[25:40-27:44]

• Jennifer references a new study affirming that those enamored with corporate jargon (“circle back,” “let's workshop this”) are often least competent.
  • “The new study found workers most excited and impressed by corporate speak may be the least equipped to make effective, practical business decisions.” – Jennifer [25:45]
• Angie: “The whole reason corporate [speak] exists is because nobody has the balls to say, ‘Thank you for the idea. It sucks.’”
• Both hosts celebrate the validation, describing their aversion to inauthentic business language.

7. Listener Voicemails – Family, AI Babies, and Immigrant Labor

a. Church, Cracker Barrel, and Stanleys
[28:29–33:46]

• Nat recounts an Easter of forced church, Cracker Barrel, and Stanley Cups, channeling Jennifer’s imagined exasperation.
  • “...Church leads to Cracker Barrel, which leads to Stanley Cups. It's like a infinite loop of slippery slopes that all lead to MAGA and the death cult.” – Jennifer [30:24]
• Angie finally stands up to her mother about attending church, leading to covert snark during the family Easter prayer.
  • “For 56 years of capitulating to your mother, you stood up to her. I mean, that's just it.” – Jennifer [32:31]

b. AI Ultrasound Nonsense
[37:02–40:51]

• Elise: Baffled by patients who come for AI-generated images of their yet-to-be-born child just a week before delivery. Both hosts admit they’d probably do it, just for the distraction.
• Jennifer: “I would be the person… Let's go AI the baby… I would be a disaster. I am her worst nightmare.” [37:51]
• Extended riff on pregnancy impatience vs. parents who want to be surprised by the baby's sex (“we are not the same people”).

c. The Mompreneur Problem
[41:01–46:23]

• Elizabeth: Annoyed that she’s labeled a “mompreneur” while no one speaks of “dadpreneurs,” noting persistent cultural default to mothers for childcare, regardless of roles.
  • “There is no Dadpreneurs show to be found. And yet somehow it’s magical that I can both have children and run a business...” – Elizabeth [41:01]
• Hosts debate recent improvements among younger dads, but acknowledge ongoing gender inequities and the "mom podcaster" label.

d. ICE and Immigrant Labor Exploitation
[49:17–54:38]

• Lindsay: Disgusted by news of someone exploiting immigrant labor, then calling ICE on the workers.
  • “I hope she genuinely burns in hell. And I also hope that her roof flies off.” – Lindsay [49:17]
• Jennifer and Angie decry the ongoing dehumanization of immigrants and the religious hypocrisy that enables it.
• Jennifer shares a moving anecdote of a South American friend fostering an American baby, underscoring the irony and humanity in migration stories.

e. The Case Against Customer Service Chatbots
[54:53–57:17]

• Amy: Misses the bad customer service human over endless chatbot hoops.
  • “I just miss bad customer service, you know, a human with an attitude. So what are we doing? How do we get back to Brenda, who used to smoke on her lunch break and... maybe made me laugh?” – Amy [54:53]
• Jennifer predicts we’ll soon see a backlash, craving human connection even if it’s flawed: “The antidote... is connection.” [56:26]

[Jennifer]

So we supposed to start the podcast.

[Angie]

Ready? One, two, three.

[Jennifer]

Patriots, Gay Trots, Theatriots, Black Trio, Brown Trio. We love you. Triple Trumpers can do what?

[Angie]

Pumps off pumps.

[Jennifer]

What have you had it with?

[Angie]

Okay, what I've had it with is when people come to your house to drop something off, like it was mailed to them by mistake, and instead of just leaving it on your porch or leaving it in your mailbox, they ring the doorbell. Which gets my entire house of dogs going.

[Jennifer]

Oh yeah.

[Angie]

And then they want to fucking chitchat. I was kidnapped and held hostage by a super sweet neighbor that is a good neighbor for 20 minutes going on and on about this and that. Like it was just gross small talk in my house with my dogs going crazy. And I was just like, I am such a gracious neighbor. When something comes to somebody else's house, I just put it in their mailbox or just put it on their porch. I don't think we have to be like, best Girlfriends over it.

[Jennifer]

That's the worst.

[Angie]

The worst.

[Jennifer]

That is the worst. Because you and your dogs kind of hacked you out, like by barking.

[Angie]

And they know that I'm here.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, yeah. What was 20 minutes? What were y' all talking about?

[Angie]

Oh, just like her, her new planting, which, here's the deal. I kill every single plant that's I've ever been given or tried to plant. So I have zero ability to have a conversation about planting. I mean, it's just nothing.

[Jennifer]

Met up on the fly. She's just like, I've been planning. Or did you ask her, how do.

[Angie]

Have you planted your spring flowers yet? And I said, well, my guy asked me and I just said, I kill everything. So we're just going to keep. We're just going to stay the course on what we have. And she was like, oh, you should try yak course. I don't remember the names because I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. I kill everything. So it doesn't matter how sturdy it is or how immune to not being tended. It is. I will kill it. And it, it just went on like, well, what are your favorite flowers? And I'm just like, I'm on suicide watch.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, no, that's. It's. And here's the thing. Here's what you just did. You have a stray cat as a neighbor and you fed that cat for 20 minutes and now the cat will come back for more food. That's the problem.

[Angie]

I fear she's going to bring me a potted plant

[Jennifer]

to kill, maybe a little bonsai tree. Okay, so let me tell you what I've had it with, okay? I have had it with there being no holiday for non religious people. So, for example, you know, we just had Easter weekend and Passover and everybody's bleeding a lot of days out of this thing. I mean, there is a lot of bleeding out of days. The amount of emails I'm sending out, and it's a kickback email. We're closed for Passover, we're closed for Easter. They're bleeding out. I'm talking five, six, seven, eight, nine days on this thing. It's. It's holiday abuse. On top of the fact that we non believers, secular people, atheists, agnostic, flying spaghetti monster, what have you. We don't get anything. Because I want the luxury of being able to say, oh, here's the deal. Sorry, I didn't get your email. I'm having an extended flying Spaghetti Monster celebration week. I want the luxury of piling on extra days of not working and The Christians have it, the Muslims have it, Jewish faith has it. We don't get jack. We don't get anything here.

[Angie]

No. And I'm trying to think what we could call it, like Good Friday because everything was closed, like Friday.

[Jennifer]

How about off Friday?

[Angie]

You Friday?

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

Here's the thing with the Passover thing. This thing started like on a Wednesday and then it got some steam and then it's, it, it some emails we got. I'm like, how many days does this thing go on? So of course I started asking the Internet and it's, I mean, it's multiple days. Multiple days.

[Angie]

Not just one day.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. And they, I needed, I, I need some things to happen and there's nothing I can do because these people are still on Passover. And you can't be the. And be like, come on, man, how long, how long is this Passover thing?

[Angie]

Haven't we celebrated your God enough?

[Jennifer]

And here's another thing. Easter Monday. Is that new?

[Angie]

That's something I had not heard of.

[Jennifer]

Okay. Because I remember back in the day, we had Easter on a Sunday and then we were right at school the very next day. And in the last few years, I've noticed now it's an Easter Monday. And again, this is a luxury that religious people have now invented. A new day to not do anything, to alert everybody in their inbox, everybody in their text messages, anybody that requires a service from them. It's religious holiday. I'm sorry, I can't go to work. I'm observing Easter Monday, which is totally. But I want, I want to do that.

[Unknown Speaker A]

Yeah.

[Angie]

Like a four day weekend for those of us that have off Friday, everybody and you. And when you think about it, like, banks are closed. I want that. Yes. I want the whole day.

[Jennifer]

I think it's a huge dick over. And if we had a Congress that wasn't led by an impotent little man named Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson, we could have Congress act on this. This is holiday discrimination.

[Angie]

Yes, it is. It is discrimination. 100 right? It is. But you know how they reach around on that is like public schools are closed Friday and Monday. But they call it like Spring festival or something. They just call it something else. But it goes right along with the Easter stuff.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm just telling you in New York there is, I think, some Passover fraud going on. And I support people celebrating their faith. If you're Jewish, I support all of it. But I've noticed some inconsistencies on the days taken off from person to person. The Christians are Slipping in this Easter Monday thing, I'm on the case. I want my days. Because while everybody's doing all of this stuff, Passover Easter Bunny, the brand new Easter Monday, we're here talking about all this. It' dump truck city over here. And I've had it. Like there's no days off. I mean the devil works hard, but I've had it works harder. And so I want, I want my day weeks where and I want to be able to abuse it the way these people are abusing it and exploiting

[Angie]

PTO to your debt.

[Jennifer]

Totally. Yeah, I totally want to do that. I'm so sorry. I mean, I'm. I'm adding a couple of extra days here. We're doing an extended celebration of the fact that we don't buy into any of this.

[Angie]

We're calling on everything.

[Jennifer]

We're taking a science class.

[Angie]

We're in a biology class right now. We can't answer.

[Jennifer]

We're doing an extended study of evolution for this holiday period.

[Angie]

Evolution week.

[Jennifer]

There you go.

[Angie]

There you go.

[Jennifer]

Darwin week. It's, it's total. It reminds me of all of the pre boarding fraud that goes on at airports. I mean there's just so much fraud going on at the pre boarders. Every time I see it, I'm like, that 12 year old doesn't need to pre board. That is complete fraudulent activity. And I think the same's going, the same type of fraud is going on with these holidays.

[Angie]

No, I completely agree. It's ridiculous.

[Jennifer]

All right, welcome to I've had It. I am Jennifer.

[Angie]

I'm Angie.

[Jennifer]

She's the star of the show and we recently just did two live shows in Atlanta. Back to back matinees. Never been done before. Back to back matinees. Because there's no reason to start any activity at 8 or 9pm None.

[Angie]

Unless it's washing your face before you go to bed.

[Jennifer]

That's a great activity. Yes. Yes. All right, Kylie, how are you?

[Kylie]

I'm good. How are you guys?

[Jennifer]

Excellent.

[Angie]

Fantastic.

[Kylie]

I've got a couple reviews for you. This one is five stars titled Laughter and Commiseration. And JB writes new GayTriot listener here in a moment that feels like it's being directed by a committee of caffeinated raccoons. Your work isn't just entertaining, it's necessary. The perspective is razor sharp, the insight actually sticks and the humor hits like a well aimed drink toss. So thank you. Truly out here surrounded by maga, knuckle draggers and conspiracy hobbyists, this podcast feels like a small, defiant island. Of sanity. One gay man listening, laughing, and thinking, okay, maybe I'm not the crazy one after all.

[Jennifer]

I'll tell you what, to J.B. collins there, the conspiracy hobbyist. That's a really good. But you know what happened this week with the conspiracy hobbyists? Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens. They were all calling for the 25th amendment. I was shocked as shit. I mean, they dropped him like you wouldn't believe.

[Angie]

I was surprised how quickly the worm turned on all that on the 25th. But to be fair, the behavior is so outrageous, you would almost think something was wrong if you weren't calling for the 25th amendment. I'm more concerned about the people that weren't calling for the 25th Amendment.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, I, I still was pretty shocked at the, at the roll call that I just did. I mean, these are the really hardcore, like, triple Trumpers, and I think they're probably seeing, number one, all the dementia. But, oh, my God, Trump, that was just whiplash out the wazoo. And this is one that I'm really happy that he tacoed on, you know, that he chickened out. I'm, I'm grateful that he chickened out because he was calling for the genocide of Iranians. And here's my thing. So I told you guys about a couple of weeks ago that I was walking down to Washington Square park to go to the John F. Kennedy Jr. Lookalike contest. That's why I wanted to go to. That is another episode for another day. But nonetheless, as I'm walking down, there were all of the. There was a protest and I was like, oh, I want to go join it. And then as I approached the protest, it was like Iranian flags with huge pictures of Donald Trump. Thank you, President Trump. Make Iran great again. And so I just wonder, I often wonder about these people that think that Trump is going to save them or protect them, whether it be the gays for Trump, the Latinos for Trump, the women for Trump, and now the Iranians for Trump. At what point do they realize, oh, like, he just threatened to nuke our entire country? Do they still stay the course at that point or. It's a fascinating take, because he will. He flips on everybody on a dime on script.

[Angie]

Yeah, he will. You over. My guess is they figured out when he started threat, like the bridges and the infrastructure. They figured out, oh, he doesn't give a fuck. And then he started talking about all the money he's going to make and all the oil. So I would think they figured out by now, but we still have, you know, people that are tripling down on Trump right in line. So maybe not. Who knows?

[Jennifer]

All right, Kylie, who's next?

[Kylie]

Okay, I've got another review. This one is five stars, titled look Forward to Every Tuesday. And they write, I feel like the world is on fire. And I look forward to every week where these three ladies make me feel a little less crazy as a mom to young kids getting up to go to work, raise good humans, all while pretending we aren't on the cusp of the end times. And thank you for speaking truths while making me laugh. It has been medicine to my soul. I have a bottle of VUV chilling for the big, beautiful obituary, and that gives me a sliver of hope.

[Angie]

Cheers. Great.

[Jennifer]

It's a great review.

[Angie]

Great.

[Jennifer]

So what are you gonna wear when it happens?

[Angie]

Would that be the time to bring out the hanger and the nipple? Just like a.

[Jennifer]

Here, why don't you update our new listeners about your.

[Angie]

Okay, so back in the day, I. Before they were the sagging dragons, they were like.

[Jennifer]

She's talking about her breasts.

[Angie]

My boobs. Yeah, they were rockets. They were big, firm. I mean, nice. They were nice boobs.

[Jennifer]

You had a great rack on you.

[Angie]

Big rack and very perch. Okay. And so I could take, like, a wooden hanger, like a coat wooden hanger, and I could hang it on my nipples. They were at such attention. And so that was kind of a party trick that I did, which, I mean, obviously that sounds like absolute lunacy, and which it is, but so I've always like, oh, yeah, I'm getting the hanger out. Well, as the years and gravity have continued to mount, I am now, and I haven't done it in a while. I could be past the wire hanger stage. Like the last time I did it, the only thing I could balance was a wire hanger. So if he doesn't die soon, it might just be nothing.

[Jennifer]

Well, I think this is a great idea. One of the best ideas you've had since we started this podcast.

[Angie]

So many good ones.

[Jennifer]

When it happens, you will pull out your party trick.

[Angie]

I will. I will do it.

[Jennifer]

We can enact a patriotism and solidarity.

[Angie]

Yeah. You're going to do it in solidarity, or did you volunteer?

[Jennifer]

I don't know that I have that talent. I said in an act of patriotism and solidarity. Yes, of the celebration for when it happens.

[Angie]

You know, I could paint a hanger red, white and blue in the interim and just have it ready. My patriotic hanger.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, you can pull out. You could pull that out from your arts and crafts cabinet.

[Angie]

Yeah, I could. I absolutely could. We know how crafty I am.

[Jennifer]

Okay this I thought, you know sometimes really great stuff comes across your feed A documentary about a group of dads fighting to protect their trans kids just premiered at south by Southwest executive produced by Dwayne Wade. And he's that basketball player retired now but he's the one who won all of those with Lebron, right?

[Angie]

Yes, in Miami. Yeah, I think it's in the hall of fame. If not he will be okay.

[Jennifer]

It's called the Dads is based on the Emmy winning short documentary and comes at a critical time in U. S History. Trans kids deserve safety, love and support. The dads are fighting to make sure they have it. As anti trans legislation and hostility escalate in the United States, the Dads documents a group of dads building a movement to support their trans and gender expansive kids while facing an impossible choice, stay and fight or leave the country. The Dads also offers a timely counter narrative around fatherhood and masculinity. This to me is the most important part here that one of the most important messages right now in the documentary. In the documentary, the dads share their vulnerabilities and question what they've been taught about gender and themselves. The film's Emmy winning director Lucina Fiser said. In a time of political division, isolation and misinformation, the dads shift the narrative away from what divides us to what brings us all together. Love, connection and community. And last slide. This is fatherhood as an act of a radical love and resistance. That last slide sounds kind of Jesusy to me. The Jesus character in the Bible, Radical empath, radical love. And I just think this is so beautiful that these dads are doing this because regardless of how many laws these politicians make, trans people are going to exist. The suicide rate among this group is astronomically high. And to see these dads, they have a choice. Unconditional love and support, radical love or be dicks like so many people are. Not only are they choosing radical love, but they are putting themselves out there as real men. This is true unconditional love from a father. And so many of you that might be listening are trans or you might have trans friends and or acquaintances. And this is not a time to see this community as a political liability and throw them under the bus. It is a time to advocate and platform for these people. And I just think this group of dads is exactly what I needed in this crazy news week to know that they love their children unconditionally, they don't give a fuck who knows it. And they made a documentary to say, fuck you, we love our kids radically, unconditionally. Judge us all you want to. You're not changing us.

[Angie]

No, I thought, I thought it was great. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. What makes me so happy about this is what, an example to their children about fighting for their children. And then the children learning, you know, I'm worthy because all they hear now is I'm not worthy. And so, you know, parents have to fight for their kids and dads, especially with all this, this faux masculinity, it's. It's time for them to step out. So I just, I think this is really exciting. And Dwayne Wade has been very vocal fighting for trans rights for years. And his platform will elevate this message. And I hope that it does.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. And Dwayne Wade has always shown images of his family on the, on like Instagram and my boys are super NBA obsessed. And the hostility in the comment section and the cruelty that people would comment about his child. And he continued to show his family for who they were. And then you have all of these politicians that make up this crazy lie that there's this woke gender agenda of furries that use litter boxes that are whacking off wieners in school and all this crazy shit. And the people who want to brainwash your kids are the book banners. The people who want to indoctrinate your kids are the people that lead with hate and judgment. The people who are preaching equality and radical love and unconditional love. They just want their kids to be who they are. And for your kids to be who they are, even if your kid's a little dick, they're not going to get all up in your business. And so I just, I thought this was a feel good story. And anytime we can platform this community in the throes of all of the mass marginalization and attacks that they're facing, I want to do it. All right, moving along here. Always the science catches up with us. And everybody knows that. I've had a long problem with corporate speak. And I think you can go back two or three years. We're talking about, okay, let's everybody sit down, let's scramble the jets, let's circle back, let's workshop this I'm like, what are you talking about? What is all of this stuff? Well, the science has finally caught up with me saying it is. And now we have an article from the Guardian that says workers who fall for corporate, maybe worse at their jobs study fines. And I would like to tell the researchers who came up with this, you're welcome for the idea. This is how many times this has happened, you guys.

[Kylie]

This has got to be like 902.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, okay.

[Angie]

I was thinking closer to like 10,000.

[Jennifer]

Our new study finds that employees impressed by corporate speak may be least equipped. Least equipped to make effective decisions. This isn't something that only affects people who are less intelligent. Anybody can fall for. And we all, depending on the situation, fall for when it is kind of packaged up to appeal to our biases. The new study found workers most excited and impressed by corporate speak may be the least equipped to make effective, practical business decisions. And it can leave companies with dysfunctional leaders. It goes on and on, but I knew it. I knew that it happened when. When I was an interior designer, I was talking to subcontractors all the time. Plumbers, electricians, you know, drywall guys, architects. Nobody does this kind of talk, right? And then we started this podcast, and we would have, you know, coordinating stuff with people or developing ideas not within our house, but with other people. And all of this language came out. Well, let's workshop that. Yeah, let's scramble the jets. And I was like, what the is this? Why not? You know, let's process this a little bit more. But it was all this new corporate speak that I thought was just complete, and in fact, it is, and it's dysfunctional.

[Angie]

Here's the thing. The whole reason corporate exists is because nobody has the balls to say, thank you for the idea. It sucks. Or I appreciate your input, but we're going to go. I mean, people just don't have the balls to say that's a bad idea. I mean, you can be nicer about it, but this is all just to put a little feather in Johnny's cap so he doesn't get his feelings hurt when you said his idea was stupid. In my opinion.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. Yeah. I. I think that there's a fine line because some people are just overtly sensitive and they probably shouldn't work in a group space. I also think we need to embrace with people that if your idea gets shot down, who cares? You have a million others. It's kind of like with us with these I hip news episodes. This is our main podcast, but our daily drops, if one tanks I'm like, we're going to do 1500 other the remainder of the week. Who gives a. I mean, business and life and ideas are all failure. All right, Kylie, let's move along to voice memos. Who's our first one?

[Kylie]

Okay, up first we've got Nat.

[Nat]

Hi, Jen. Hi, Kylie. Hi, Pums. I'm just sending in this cuz I wanted to share something that happened to me today on, you know, Easter, you know, Jesus's day, obviously. And I was. I was dragged to church this morning, unfortunately for me, and I never go to church, but of course we had to go because it's Easter, obviously. And so I sat through this hour long service of this man that was just babbling about who even knows what the fuck. And the entire time I was sitting there listening to this, literally trying not to laugh. They were like singing a song about the rattling bones of Jesus. And the entire time I was just like. I could just see Jen's face like in my head, like her reaction to what this would be. And it was making me laug. And not only was I dragged to church, following church, we then went to Cracker Barrel and I was like, this is just. I mean they're really like, this is the worst prank ever. This is terrible. And when we were in Cracker Barrel, you know, they have all that stupid shit at the front that you can buy all the little like knickknacks that nobody wants. And we're looking through them and I look over and just see an entire wall of so many different kinds of Stanley Cups. And again, I just couldn't help but think of Jen and think of. Of, you know, I know she loves her Stanley cups. You know, that's just her. Her favorite thing. And so I thought I would just send this in because I thought it was so funny. And I hope everybody had a great Easter because, you know, obviously I hope everybody went to church and just had such a great time because amen at the end of the day. So that's all.

[Kylie]

And she sent a photo from Cracker Barrel.

[Angie]

Oh my gosh.

[Kylie]

Of the Wall of Staley.

[Jennifer]

Oh, God, that is an abomination. That is prayers up to that wa all. I mean, that is on it. That is my worst nightmare.

[Angie]

Church

[Jennifer]

leads to Cracker Barrel, which leads to Stanley Cups. It's like a infinite loop of slippery slopes that all lead to Maga and the death cult. I'm surprised she survived, quite frankly.

[Angie]

She got out of there. Okay, so update for everyone on my Easter Sunday. So obviously we were in Atlanta, but My mom called and said, hey, I want to make plans for Easter. I immediately, I've been waiting for this call. I've been like, here it is, a year in the making. So I say, I'm going to be out of town. But even if I was in town, I just don't feel good about going to church with you. Unless they're talking about how we need to unite against all the injustices. People getting shot in the streets of America, little girls getting shot in school in Iran. Like, I just can't be in that room unless they do that. The immediate response was, I was only inviting you to dinner on Friday night. And I was like, oh, yeah, I can do dinner on Friday night. And then I get a text the day of telling me not to bring my dog.

[Nat]

Dogs.

[Jennifer]

So I didn't hide it. They're a casualty.

[Angie]

That was a casualty. I think that was like, you. And then when we sat down, like, the whole family was sitting there, extended family, everything. And my mom starts the prayer by saying, jesus loves you even if you don't love him and I don't. A bunch of other stuff. And then. So when my daughter and I were cleaning out up, she leaned into me and said, you know that Jesus comment was directed at you. I was like, of course I know that. So the new plan is next year I'm going to lead the prayer on some type of holiday and Jennifer's going to author it.

[Jennifer]

Yes.

[Angie]

Then I'm going to spill it out. And honestly, I'm here for it. I can't wait. So that's my Easter update.

[Jennifer]

I think it's a fantastic update. First and foremost, I'm so proud of you for 56 years of capitulating to your mother that you stood up to her. I mean, that's just it. I. I've known you for such a long time, and the fear in which you operate, surrounding her. So I'm so proud of you for standing up for all of the people that this regime under the veil and the cloak of Christianity as a permission structure to kill people and marginalize people, that you stood up, it's like little mini resistance. So I'm so proud of you for that number two listeners there. So she told me the story when we were in Atlanta, and I was beaming with pride, obviously, but I thought, okay, here's. Here's the next phase. So she goes next year to the family prayer, and we as a community can write the prayer. And so her mom, you know, she'll be like, okay, I'll start the prayer And AG can go, actually, I'll lead. And then we're going to make the most woke ass original Jesus, like the Bible Jesus, not the capitalist republican Jesus, something that I would write. And I think it's just going to be an absolute banger. And then at the end you can say, mom, I didn't hear you say Amen.

[Angie]

Well, here's the deal. She would totally say amen and not be able. She'd be like, oh, well, that was a nice prayer. She would be so excited that I said I was leading the prayer. It might irritate her when it came out, the other stuff. But here's the thing which I've learned in the course of this whole fiasco about Easter, that how are you going. I mean, she couldn't argue with me. How are you going to argue if the prayer starts with, please help the children that are hungry because they've no longer been provided any assistance for school lunches or the SNAP benefits were cut?

[Jennifer]

Like, here's the problem. We need to be more specific. No, no, no, no.

[Angie]

I know, but I'm just.

[Jennifer]

Needs to be plenty. And I think it needs to be kind of holy roller, like, dear Heavenly Father. Is that what dear. Or is it. Or Jesus. What do you say?

[Angie]

Jesus.

[Jennifer]

To go straight to Jesus?

[Angie]

I think so.

[Jennifer]

The Son. Okay, so dear Jesus Christ. Do you say Jesus Christ or just Jesus?

[Angie]

Just Jesus.

[Jennifer]

Okay, Jesus, I want you to lift a hand up and put your hand on the. All of the children that Donald Trump. Trump and his murderous regime have taken food and school lunches and child care away from. Jesus. Jesus, just help these people. Jesus, just help these little children protect themselves from this evil antichrist leader named Donald Trump. How does that go over? If you're real pointed like that?

[Angie]

If it was really pointed like that,

[Jennifer]

do you think you get kicked out of the lunch?

[Kylie]

No.

[Jennifer]

Okay.

[Angie]

No, I think it would just be crickets and the whole. If there would just be a ton of tension in the whole house. But I don't think anybody would say no. They would never say, you have to leave. But I would want to leave because of, like, how tight it would make everybody.

[Jennifer]

Yeah.

[Angie]

I'll tell you who would love it, is my daughter. I mean, she would just be like, mom, that was a great. I mean, she would totally do the double down with me. Yeah.

[Jennifer]

I hope that. I mean, really at the thing of this. It's really. It's really sad that when you just think about all of the wealth that's been transferred to the worst people in the world and at the expense of these poor kids. Because I think your mom, at her core, she wouldn't want these kids to not have things, but they're just so indoctrinated and radicalized in this cruel, kind of twisted mental gymnastics thing. And it's really sad how much religion plays a role in the United States in marginalizing poor, hungry people.

[Angie]

Yeah, I think you're right. She wouldn't want any child to go hungry or anything like that.

[Booking.com Advertiser]

That.

[Angie]

Right. But it's not. It doesn't affect her personally, so it's just not a problem that she entertains.

[Jennifer]

Okay, who's next?

[Kylie]

Okay, up next, we've got Elise.

[Elise]

So I worked in an ultrasound office that was outside of a doctor's office. It was basically if you wanted more pictures of your baby. And we did this thing where you could AI your baby to see what it would look like when it comes out of the womb. And there would be people that would come in or call and they would say, you know, I'm having my baby in a week and a half, but I want to see pictures of my baby. Just wait. Why are we AI ing this shit? To see what your child looks like when you can just wait a week and a half and see what it happens when it pops out?

[Jennifer]

I'm done.

[Elise]

I'm had it. Oh, baby, it is killing me. You can just wait. You've waited 10 months. Just wait another week and a half. Jesus Christ.

[Jennifer]

I would totally do it. I would be the problem. I would 100. I'm 100. The person she's had it with. I remember when both of my pregnancies, number one, when I approached, like, 36 weeks, because it's 40 weeks total listener. For those of you that didn't know, I was like, I'm going to deliver today. Like, there's. It's impossible for me to grow anymore. I'm going to deliver this baby today. And much to my surprise, I gained more weight, grew larger, and the fixation on it. I would totally be the person that's like, well, what am I going to do today? Let's go AI the baby. Let's go. Let's just go deep, dive into that. Let's sit down and talk about a bunch of different scenarios with the AI too. Let's run several different. Different models of the AI. I would be a disaster. I am her worst nightmare. I was such a horrible pregnant person.

[Angie]

There's just no way. I wouldn't be all over the AI software trying to figure it out. There's just no way. And I get the point, like, way do all that. I get that. But I. I would be ass deep. We had a video of Luke because my youngest. Because I was a geriatric pregnancy. And I remember I was. Was. We didn't find out the sex. So I, who have no medical training whatsoever, but kind of feel like I'm a doctor, I played that video over and over and over trying to identify if there was a penis or a vagina. News flash. I never did figure it out, but I've spent hours on it, so I can only imagine. I can only imagine that. AI, let me ask you this.

[Jennifer]

I remember that with Luke. Why. Why didn't you want to find out the gender?

[Angie]

You know, that's a great question. I really think it was because I was like, I had a boy, I had a girl, so I had stuff like clothes and all that for both, so I didn't have to really prepare anything.

[Jennifer]

And you wanted it to be a surprise for you and your ex?

[Angie]

Yeah, I guess I did.

[Jennifer]

I mean, yeah, I appreciate. I appreciate that people can do that, that. I am not one of those people. I. I remember being pregnant and I was like, I needed to know immediately what the gender was. I have no chill, none whatsoever with that. There's no way, if this technology is available and I can find out one thing about the situation, I'm always going to want. Want that. And you with your third. And other people I know that are like, yeah, we. We're not going to find out the gender. I'm like, how do you do that? Like, I can't relate to that at all. Like, I don't relate to it on any level. And no judgment, seriously. You know, having a baby is such a personal thing, but it's one of these things when people say, yeah, we're. We're going to make it a surprise. I'm just like, we're not the same people. Like, I don't have. I have no chill. I'm insufferable about that. Insufferable. Really? I'm the problem.

[Angie]

Them.

[Jennifer]

All right, Kylie, who's next?

[Kylie]

Okay, up next, we've got Elizabeth.

[Elizabeth]

Okay, here is my. I have had it. So I have been recruited for a show called Mompreneurs, which, heaven help me, I am a mom of a slew of children. And also I run a really successful business that I have built from scratch over the last three years. But you know what? So have a lot of men. There is no Dadpreneurs show to be found. And yet somehow it's magical. That I can both have children and run a business. When really the magical part is the fact that I not only run a business business, but I run my household amongst societal expectations that I am also doing the bulk of the parenting and child care. That even as we put my husband's cell phone as the first number to call for the school when they need something and yet they call me by default because I am the mom number. So it's not about mompreneurs. It is about the fact that, that we default, that women are the primary child caregiver and that they're the one that we have to call and the one we have to deal with. Because this is the expectation that men just get to have careers and jobs and lives and that women will pick up the slack. And I have had it.

[Angie]

It's such a good point. It is such a good point. Because women that work outside the home have two full time jobs. Jobs, their job and home job and 1 million percent. Do you remember it was at the Oscars one year and I think it was Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, but don't quote me on that, but it was a couple that both were actors and they asked him stuff on the red carpet and then they asked her who was babysitting and it was just like, why are you, why are you doing that? Why does he get the question? And she doesn't. So good for her. Congratulations on her business success. But there is it, it's just unbelievable how little men are required to do to keep their house going. And then immediately you have to label a mom mature.

[Jennifer]

I will say I read some data that this is kind of changing. Millennial dads have been more involved than any generation of dads before them. They're changing more diapers, they're taking paternity leave. And so we are seeing a shift in this. But I also just have one observation from the the husband being first on the school list and her being number two. If I worked at the school, I'm going to jump down and call the woman first because I know that she's a problem solver, more competent. I know the conversation will be shorter and will end with a lot less emotion. And so I appreciate what she's saying. You know, call the husband first. But here's what happens. They call the husband first and then the husband hangs up and immediately calls the mom. And this whole notion that women are too emotional to be president or women, you know, blah, blah, it's just such bullshit. All of it is but good on her for. But I Mean, obviously, we get labeled as mom podcasters and all of this shit. And being a mom is incredibly, incredibly important to me. But it's not the only thing I do. I mean, there are women that, that, that is all they do. And all they talk about is their children ad nauseam. And it's horrific because you're just like, I get it. I understand that you're into them. Nobody else is. Nobody gives a. About your kids. But I, I don't know, I just, I don't like all the, all of the pressure that gets put on women on all of that stuff. But I'm happy about the millennials, the millennial boys.

[Angie]

Yeah. I think, I mean, I think it's so important. And I, I want to say, someone we know, when they had kids, they were like, and they were younger, like, we're doing everything 50, 50, you know, diaper. I mean, they just did everything 50, 50. And I'm like, God, what a great idea.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. And it's not even, I think it's not even so much as, like, 50, 50 as much as it is who's available at that time to do something like, Josh was a great baby dad. He' feel I probably did more just because I'm a, a doer. But Josh, any, I mean, he always jumped in and did anything. So I don't know, I just think it takes a village to raise kids. And I'm glad that the narrative is somewhat changing, but I want the narrative to change for women. If you're a business maker, if you're a podcaster, I mean, dad podcaster Joe Rogan, that's what we're going to start referring to all of the male podcasters that have children. Because I'll never forget that blogger that kept. We're talking about, you know, our lives and whatnot. It's always like, mom podcasters. She's like, off with that sexism.

[Angie]

All right.

[Kylie]

Okay, up next we've got Lindsay

[Lindsay]

hi Pumps and Jennifer. I love love love your guys podcast but I saw something that I have absolutely had it with and it looks literally just made my blood boil. I mean I've had it long before I saw this, but I've had it with people benefiting from the workers of immigrants like farmers and construction workers and roofers and contractors and then literally not thinking that they deserve humanity or rights or respect. I don't know if you saw but there is a woman in Cambridge Bridge and she hired supposedly hired workers to redo her roof and then on the final day called ice on the Guatemalan workers. I think that is absolutely disgusting. I hope she genuinely burns in Hell. And I also hope that her roof flies off. And the most ironic thing is, you know, that she's clutching her cross necklace, thinking she's so Jesusful, and then literally has the audacity to benefit from the hard work of this construction company and then call the actual ice on them. So gross.

[Elise]

Literally.

[Lindsay]

There is not room in America for people like this. Absolutely disgusting.

[Jennifer]

I completely agree. And I saw that story. It's so disgusting. There's just a mass dehumanization going on in the United States, and it's not new. It is something that we just have never reconciled or atoned for. The. All of the mass shootings, they just continue. Nobody does anything about it. The demonization of the poor, the bragged exploitation of immigrant labor, the moral duplication, simplicity of people that enjoy all of the benefits and entertainment and spiciness of a multicultural society and then do chicken stuff like this. And sadly, I have to say, growing up in Oklahoma, it. It's a Nor. It's a norm where people see immigrant labor as something to be exploited.

[Angie]

Yes.

[Jennifer]

While at the same time think they're taking away something from them. It's just. It really depresses me to share oxygen with people who enjoy dehumanizing other people so much that Trump will die at some point and all of that will go on. It's the cruelty wrapped up with religion and sharing space with these people.

[Nat]

People.

[Jennifer]

It bothers me. Yeah, it's gross.

[Angie]

I mean, I was raised in a house that did all these things, and it's. It is so vile, and it is so disgusting. And the cross couldn't be bigger, so I don't know what's. I mean, you know, it's just. It's just gross.

[Nat]

It's gross.

[Jennifer]

It is. It's really sad. There's a story I can share. I won't list names, but there's a friend of mine, and she is from a South American country, and she is here on Ibiza. And I won't mention where she lives, but she signed up to be a foster mother. And she is the foster mother of a little white baby whose mother was a meth addict while pregnant. Didn't know she was pregnant. And this little baby came home because she signed up to be a foster mom from the hospital. Little to my friend who is taking care of this baby, speaks exclusively to the baby in Spanish. And so the irony that this beautiful person, selfless, because, I mean, who wants to take care of a newborn that's not yours?

[Angie]

I don't even want to take care of my own.

[Jennifer]

She is taking care of this little baby. And I just thought, one day this baby will probably. The mom's trying to get sober and all the things. And I truly hope she does. Does. And the baby's going to end up back with the mom. And then I thought, then at some point, that baby's going to be maga. And then you'd be like, hey, by the way, you wouldn't be alive for the immigrant that raised you while your mom was getting off meth. And no disrespect, I mean, I have respect. I mean, addiction is a horrible problem. But I just thought the irony in that was just. Just because here's. At the end of the day, MAGA wants to. You're an immigrant. You're a heritage American. They want to categorize everybody and prioritize who gets rights, who doesn't. And really, the story of my friend taking care of the little meth baby. And the baby's fine, by the way. It's just about humanity. It's just about a shared sense of humanity. She enjoys doing that. She's a much better person than I am. Like, I could never for take care of somebody else's newborn, and she's doing it in a foreign country to her with, like, joy.

[Angie]

Right? Yeah. That's a big person. As we all know, I'm not a good baby person at all, so it certainly can be me. So good for her.

[Jennifer]

All right, Kylie, let's do one last voicemail. Okay?

[Kylie]

The last one is from Amy.

[Unknown Speaker A]

Me. Hi, Jennifer, Angie, Kylie, this is Amy Lee, former Edmond girl, now happily living in Gig Harbor, Washington. And I've had it with chatbots. I take the time to type out my whole stupid Internet problem, and before they'll answer me, I have to go through, like, five different PIN numbers and codes, and they're not even human. But I'm proven who I am. And then when I finally get connected to an agent because I can't. Can't be nice to a chatbot, and I think, okay, great, now I'm. Now I've got a human. But it's. Nope. It's just a fancier bot that takes a me all the way through all of that again, and I just miss bad customer service, you know, a human with an attitude. So what are we doing? How do we get back to Brenda, who used to smoke on her lunch break and, you know, maybe had a little bit of an attitude, but maybe made me laugh? How do we get back to that? Thanks. I love you guys.

[Jennifer]

God, that's Such a good voice memo. Such a good, I mean, that's like, that's, that's like a precursor of to what we're all going to be craving. Like we just want to talk to up horrible customer service people. I want to fight with, with a person, I want to tell them I'm the customer and I want to have this fight. I mean, that is such. I bet there's going to be so much more of that heat in the ensuing months and years because Trump has really taken his oligarchs, are taking all of the jobs and giving them to the robots.

Yeah, there's nothing that's coming out right now with all this stuff that gives me any like, oh, this is going to be great. It's all like, oh God, this is going to be disastrous. And I do agree, I think, think 10 years, however many years it takes, everybody is going to be like way too much, way too much of all this AI and robots and all that shit.

[Jennifer]

I hope, I think AI is just so overhyped. I mean, it's just like an enhanced Google at this stage. And I think that all of these oligarchs have just gone all chips in on it. And at the end of the day, the antidote for a lot of our problems as a species is connection. Yep, it's connection. If you're an addict, connection, whatever form that is, AA or therapy or whatever you connect with other human beings. Depression, connection, longevity connection. And so you have Trump and then all of these oligarchs with all of these capitalists with no capital that support these people and they're disconnecting us all and it's just, it's not going to be good. It's not going to be good.

[Angie]

Okay, so you were in my head, I was driving. There's this piece of shit truck with this big Trump flag on it driving, turned into a piece of shit house. And I just thought that's our capital. Capitalist with no capital right there.

[Jennifer]

It's crazy. It's, it's unbelievable how successful Republican messaging has been to shift the working class voters to think that Donald Trump is going to help you. Like, it's crazy. But I mean, God. And this is just where we are. But hopefully I think that if we can get through these elections, and I don't know that we will, I really don't. I mean, I think they're going to do everything they can, but I think it's going to be a big blue tsunami, hopefully.

[Angie]

Agree, I hope.

[Elizabeth]

All right.
