Jennifer: “When you have a massive wealth disparity, and they scapegoat all of these things... the problem is that you have a massive wealth disparity.” ([04:51])

Angie adds that these legislative attempts to regulate men are unprecedented and likely to fail due to inherent patriarchal resistance.

Angie: “This is the first time that I've ever heard they're trying to regulate against men.” ([05:10])

a. Expensive Wedding Rings and Divorce

Jennifer discusses a study from Emory University indicating that couples who spend excessively on wedding rings and ceremonies are more likely to divorce sooner, attributing this to financial strain and superficial priorities in marriage.

Angie relates personally, sharing her own experiences and advocating for more modest and meaningful wedding ceremonies.

b. Beards and Stability in Relationships

A study from the Archives of Sexual Behavior suggests that men with beards are more focused on maintaining existing relationships rather than seeking new ones. Jennifer humorously attributes this to her partner Josh's improved behavior since growing a beard.

Transcript

[Jennifer]

So are we supposed to start the podcast?

[Angie]

Ready? One, two, three.

[Jennifer]

Welcome, welcome, welcome. Here we are in Trump's America. The rebellion, the resistance. We're just going to keep fighting, aren't we? Pumps?

[Angie]

That's right. Keep on keeping on.

[Jennifer]

What have you had it with?

[Angie]

Okay, I'll tell you exactly what I've had it with. People that sing to overhead music in public like they're in their car alone. This happened to me twice this last week. One time I was waiting in a vet's office and there's overhead music playing and I hear like harmony and the lalas and like, loud. So I look around, I'm like, is it echoing what's going on? I look around, one of the ladies that works there, she is just singing at the top of her lungs and I look around at her co workers and nobody's acting like that's abnormal. I think it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen that I was in an elevator. We're trapped in the world's slowest elevator and the woman is singing out loud to the music. I've never seen anything like it. I was making eye contact with this lady across from me. We were just like, what is happening? Like, I wasn't sure we weren't getting punked. So here's my public service announcement. Unless you have a record label, do not sing in public. That is private. No one wants to hear you. Ooh la la ing and harmonizing because chances are you suck. It was unbelievable.

[Jennifer]

So were they good at singing?

[Angie]

Okay, I will have to say this. The lady in the vet's office kind of had a good voice, but not anywhere near. She needed to be singing and serenading the entire office. By no means, but it wasn't like my voice. Terrible.

[Jennifer]

You know, the elevator one, I think that's kind of weird. The vet office, I mean, you know, everybody has to go to work 40 hours a week, a lot of times more, and they're grinding. And I kind of like that. That lady was just so uninhibited that she was just belting it out at work. I kind of envy that, like, lack of inhibitions. Yeah.

[Angie]

Just like, I'm here.

[Jennifer]

Just like, yeah, she's making lemonade. I'm kind of for her. The elevator, like, you were in a uniquely hostage style situation where it sounds like that person was somewhat of a sadist. The vet person. I'm kind of for her because it sounds to me like she's just like, I'm at work, there's nothing I can do. About it, except for try to make the best of this. And it sounds like that's what she was doing, and that's why her co workers were just like, yeah, Shirley likes to sing. And we just let her do it.

[Angie]

Shirley just sings out loud to an entire office.

[Jennifer]

Yeah.

[Angie]

So anyway, Shirley, I think you ought to tone it down. Jennifer's all for it.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, I'm all for that. The elevator person. I'm. That would. That's really bothersome.

[Angie]

Yeah, it was.

[Jennifer]

I just. I think there's a whole weird psychological experience and experiment that goes on in elevators. It is just sometimes you have people that stare at you. All of the most awkward interactions I ever have are in elevators, and elevators are just really weird.

[Angie]

Yeah. I've had weather conversations in elevators more than once.

[Jennifer]

That doesn't surprise me one bit. Yeah. All right, let me tell you what I've had it with. I've had it with the growing prudence of maga, and now they have proposed in two states, two new laws in Ohio, and I believe it's Mississippi. Conception begins at erection.

[Angie]

Are you serious right now?

[Jennifer]

Yeah. Conception begins at erection, and they want to control that. Semen can only leave the body when it's going to fertilize an egg.

[Angie]

So procreation only.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, yeah. And so here's my thing. Like, everybody's doing all this weird shit in Trump's America, and I'm all for. If they want to regulate the uterus, then I think we should, you know, tit for tat, say, okay, let's regulate the penis. But I just think that we have this growing concern in America where everybody keeps scapegoating all of these ideas. Is it sex? Is it immigrants? Oh, it's these gay people. Oh, my God, these drag queens, you know, and they just go on and on and on when all. When in all actuality, the problem is that you have a massive wealth disparity.

[Angie]

Right.

[Jennifer]

And so they scapegoat all of these things. But I'm just so mystified that you get elected and you can actually go and enact change, and the change you want to enact would be something that goes on in private in people's bedrooms.

[Angie]

Well, they've been trying to regulate what's been going on in people's bedrooms since the dawn of time. But here's what I find interesting. This is the first time that I've ever heard they're trying to regulate against men. Usually they're regulating against women. Women are the recipients of the laws, the harshness, the slut Labels, the slut, shaming, all of those things. So now we've got Life begins, a direction. And you're only supposed to ejaculate if you're having sex. Trying to conceive. Now, that strikes me that it will never go anywhere because men will not allow it. The patriarchy will be up in arms.

[Jennifer]

No, it won't. And, you know, they're starting to try to regulate, like pornhub. Did they ban Kylie? Did they ban pornhub in Oklahoma?

[Kylie]

Yes.

[Jennifer]

See?

[Angie]

Where's the back? I'm surprised Mac is not up in arms over that. I mean, not out loud, of course, but they strike me as the type that would be all over pornhub, because anybody that's talking about sex that much and thinking about sex that much and other people's sex lives is watching porn.

[Jennifer]

Pardon the pun here, but I'm sure that all of these porn watchers have found a reach around.

[Angie]

Yes.

[Jennifer]

Yeah. I mean, don't think for a second that some pornhub addict in Oklahoma has been deterred and that they're not still actively watching porn, because I guarantee you, all of the elected MAGA politicians at the state Capitol, if we were to see their Google search history and even the private. Especially the private Google search history, it's no good. A. And I guarantee you specifically Ryan Walters and listener Ryan Walters is the superintendent of school, and he sits in his car all the time and talks about sex. Gay sex, porn, porn, drag queens, trans people. I've never seen somebody that is not an LGBTQ advocate speak so much about gay sex and porn as this man does. And he's the same guy that bought the Trump Bibles to put in Oklahoma classrooms. And so, I mean, there's just no question that these MAGA politicians that are obsessed with sex, it's all they think about.

[Angie]

It's all they think about.

[Jennifer]

And maybe they can't do it very well or. And therein lies the obsession.

[Angie]

Or they're physically compromised like teeny weenies. So they're not good performers, and they have issues with that. But I'm 100%. I have never, especially a school superintendent that has nothing to do with sex, sit around and talk about sex and LGBTQ sex. I mean, this guy is a nut. But everything with maggot, like, the more they talk about it, the more that tells you they're thinking about it, and the more they're against it, the more it's projection, you know, they're doing it.

[Jennifer]

Oh, I mean, there's no question. No question about it. I mean, I'm just so happy to know that when we have all of these issues facing, you know, our country and humanity as a whole, the one thing these dipshits are trying to regulate is the one thing that we are genetically encoded to do, which is reproduce. Which tells you how stupid, how breathtakingly stupid these people are. Welcome to I've had it. I'm Jennifer.

[Angie]

I'm Angie.

[Jennifer]

All right, I have a couple of news stories I'd like to share. And again, I just want to point out that sometimes we hear it. I've had it. Blow the whistle, and then the research follows. Okay, so here's a headline right here. Couples who Buy expensive Wedding rings are more likely to divorce sooner. A study by economists from Emory University examined over 3,000 US adults who had been married and found a correlation between higher wedding expenses and. And an increased likelihood of divorce. Specifically, couples who spent more than $2,000 on an engagement ring were more likely to divorce than those who spent between 500 and 2,000. The research also suggested that extravagant wedding costs overall were linked to shorter marriages, possibly due to financial strain leading to marital conflict.

[Angie]

Okay, my two cents from personal experience on that article is one or both of the participants in the wedding, the bride or the groom. In my specific example, it was me. I was far more worried about the party, the ceremony, the dresses, the bridesmaids, the flowers, far more interested in that than I was the groom or the marriage that would follow the ceremony. So, like the next day when I was married, I was just like, oh, okay, so I can only imagine like 25 year old me today with social media. All the performative nature will make everything's performative. It probably would have been a thousand times worse, which is hard to imagine given the state of my marriage and what a disaster it was. I think it could be worse.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, I think that. I think that we need to normalize like, you know, courthouse weddings with 10 to 15 people. You know, cute outfits, not over the top extravagant, but, I mean, look good, look good for your day. But I've said this before on the podcast and I'll say it again, I've been to like two in the last five years. Really big, highly produced weddings. Both couples were divorced, I mean, within two to three years. Yeah.

[Angie]

Don't you think it's just they're more interested in the party and the ceremony than the actual marriage?

[Jennifer]

I mean. Yeah, I think so. I think that when you put. I just think when you're entering something that has a 50, 50 success rate. Right. You have to Be smart enough to say, I am not going to invest, considering this has a 50, 50 success rate, I'm not going to invest a whole lot on this. And so I would advise the women because where we live, sadly a lot of people still adhere to these traditional gender roles where the parents of the bride have to run the bill. And so I would say brides, have your parents write you a check for the expense of the wedding, put it in your name and your name only.

[Angie]

Right?

[Jennifer]

Invest it. Don't ever tell your significant other that you have it until you've been married like 30 years. I mean tell, you know, there's sweat equity, there's time equity, otherwise keep that money to yourself and always have an escape route.

[Angie]

Absolutely. I mean being in divorce law, the number one thing, if I could go back and redo my life and advise my clients, don't quit working, do not give up your access to income and never ever let your spouse put you on a budget and only give you a certain amount of money a month. You would be shocked how many people have a joint account and the wife stays at home, the husband puts in just enough for like groceries, gas, whatever, just the basic expenses so that she is financially strapped and has no choices, is completely stuck in that routine while the rest of the money stays in an account with his name only. Terrifying. Yeah.

[Jennifer]

All right, next up we have men with beards may be more stable romantic partners. Study says men with beards aren't necessarily out looking for a new partner, just keeping the one they have. According to a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, while clean shaven men reported more mate seeking motivation, men having more facial hair reported less mate seeking motivation, but more, more mate retention and kin care motivation reported. The study which looked at 414 men aged 18 to 40 and examined their facial hair enhancement motivations. The findings, bearded men are in it for keeps. So I have to say Josh has been a much better partner since he's had a beard. This is just anecdotal evidence. Right? I mean granted, you know, he, when he shaved all the time, he was also battling a massive drug addiction. But it's kind of like when he let the beard come in, he has been a much better mate.

[Angie]

Well, I'm glad to hear that. You know, here's the thing. I don't necessarily, I mean I know Josh has a beard, but when I envision what they're talking about, it's one of those long nasty beards. But I really like kind of this clean shape. What, what would you Call that like a. It's a close shaven beard that Josh has. It's very groomed.

[Jennifer]

I like that.

[Angie]

And I don't feel like that is as bad of skirting because I see a lot of men that skirt with beards. They like have a big beard to hide, like aging or spa. I don't know. I just feel like the big beards with the food in them are gross.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, I think that. I think that this article is talking about because beards are so popular now. I mean, I think you have the ZZ Top beards, which I think that' what I'm thinking we can all agree are unattractive. But now you have across all age groups, you know, kind of the. The GQ beard, where it's a little bit more kept. And I think that's what that study is referring to is just because beard culture has definitely made a comeback. I think the ZZ Top beards have always been unanimously disgusting.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

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

[Angie]

I would say damn near psychotic.

[Jennifer]

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

[Angie]

A Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches.

We're literally giving away free vibrators or gift cards to everyone who signs up. Literally every single one of you. Just click the link in the episode description or go to beboutique Co hadit that's B B o u t I Q u e co H a D I T okay, here is an article from Reddit. My husband's Trump obsession has turned our home into a maga shrine and I'm losing my mind. I never thought I'd be posting here, but I desperately need to vent. My husband of 12 years has transformed from a reasonable conservative into what I can only describe as a Trump cult member and it's destroying our marriage. Our house has become a literal shrine to Trump. I wish I was exaggerating. There's a six foot Trump cardboard cutout in our living room that he talks to every morning like some sort of religious ritual. Our walls, once decorated with family photos, are now plastered with Trump flags. He even replaced our American flag with a Trump 2024 or death banner. My kids are embarrassed to have friends over. I found receipts showing he's donated over $15,000 to various Trump related causes this year alone. Money we needed for our mortgage. When I showed him our overdue bills, he said Trump will fix the economy and make us rich. We're facing foreclosure, but he keeps buying Trump merchandise.

[Angie]

I mean, none of that surprises me. And I have just a little bit of advice for her. Get the fuck out. I mean, that is nuts. Not paying your mortgage or house going. But he's got an online flea market, so there's always stuff to buy. I mean, it's pitiful. That is pitiful.

[Jennifer]

I mean it's this story right here, this sentence where it went from a Reasonable conservative into a full blown Trump cult member. That has happened to millions of Americans across the board. And you especially see it in leadership. And you see these men that have literally been castrated by Trump. I'm looking at Ted Cruz, who Trump said, your wife is ugly and your dad killed jfk. Total lies. Ted Cruz stood on the stage at the RNC practically in tears saying, God bless Donald Trump. And then you have J.D. vance, who had crystal clear clarity at some point about Trump. And then you have the doge dork that was recently fired because he, an old Twitter account surfaced where he is just an extreme bigot. And he had tweeted things like normalize Indian hate. Well, listener JD Vance's wife, Vance is Indian. They have three kids. So by my calculations, JD Vance's children are 50% Indian. What does JD Vance do? He gets on Twitter and says, we should hire this person back. We shouldn't ruin somebody's life over things that they put on social media. So he has an Indian wife and three Indian kids. And he's so castrated by Maga, I mean, completely neutered, that he cannot stand up for his wife and kids. And that is just unbelievable to me. So this lady's thing here, this doesn't surprise me one bit because you see all of these so called Christians that talk about, oh, we're, you know, what would Jesus do? When I walk down the beach, it's me And Jesus, we're BFFs. And then you, they are all chips in on the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, taking food and life saving care from the poorest children on earth by canceling usaid. And it's just amazing to me how morally compromised Trump makes people and how they, they just immediately acquiesce to it. And the only thing I can think of is, you know, probably these people are broken a lot to begin with. But Trump has given permission structures to all of these people who I think are just as a default setting, pieces of shit. And maybe their religion or their marriage or something was some form of a mild mitigating factor in it that kind of kept all of their shittiness at bay. And then Trump comes out, he's like, yeah, grab him by the pussy, let's fucking go. And they're like, fuck yeah, we can, we can be out of the closet. Pure, unadulterated racist pieces of shit. He makes them feel good about their worst impulses.

[Angie]

I don't think there's any question because it started with, well, Trump says what everybody else is thinking. Well, nobody else is thinking the crazy shit he says. Now you're saying it. Now you're rubber stamping sexual predators in office fraudsters, you know, criminals getting out of jail. Like, he is the worst of the worst. And people like it. They like it is.

[Jennifer]

And here's just an aside. Like, this guy's almost 80, okay? And he's a billionaire. And he's like, avoided incarceration. And there's no question he should be incarcerated. And he spends his time, his spare time. Like, he's upset about 60 Minutes and Kamala Harris. He's upset about Taylor Swift. He's upset about all these like super petty things that, like when you're younger and you're in high school, right? And early days of college, that kind of would really get under your skin. But with age, you realize what other people think of me doesn't matter, right? I don't care. I can't control that. And you get healthier and better and better. Not this guy.

[Angie]

No, it's worse.

[Jennifer]

And it's just amazing to me that he's never checked within the party, like on all of these white, crusty ass white men. That's what I've had it with. Crusty ass white men. You seem to the show and tell with his executive orders and you look at the people behind him and it's just this crusty, gross white whiteness. These white men. And they just. They don't check him at all. And it's. To me, they're. They are all just the biggest group of castrated. No penis. No. No dick energy. Not even little dick energy. Zero dick. It's the. It's the party of no dicks. That's what they are. I love that.

[Angie]

Yeah, that. You're exactly right. Just the biggest bunch of below.

[Jennifer]

Even a small penis person would stand up and defend what's right. This is no dick energy. There's zero dick energy in this.

[Angie]

You're exactly right. I love that analogy. Where's that been all my life?

[Jennifer]

I don't know. I just came up with it. Kylie, what's going with our podcast on the Internet?

[Kylie]

A lot of good stuff. Our reviews, we're still getting them. And I'm gonna read you two of them. This one is five stars, titled Seeking a Prom Date. And they write, dearest Angelina, pumpkin Tina, is there any chance you might be free the evening of April 28th? I'm a single dad and a high school French teacher, and I got conned into chaperoning prom again. Sounds awful, right? Not when we're taking bets on who's gonna cry first. It is a people watching promised land and it is never disappointed. And don't stress. I can sneak your vape in. We could probably play it off as the fog machine. The theme is Casino Royale and I've seen these math grades. You could take home a nice little profit, too. We can probably achieve that in about 30 minutes. And then we're out. My mom will want pictures, but she's cool. Corsage included. And then they left their Instagram handle.

[Jennifer]

Oh, my God.

[Angie]

How fantastic is that?

[Jennifer]

Okay, so wait, this is a French teacher. Yes.

[Angie]

Which would be awesome to teach us French.

[Jennifer]

Oh, my God. This is. This is what I needed in Trump's America. Okay, you've officially been asked out twice recently.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

We have the guy that wants to take you bike riding in New York that came to our show.

[Angie]

Right?

[Jennifer]

The dj. Dj. I think his name is dj and he is a dj.

[Angie]

Okay.

[Jennifer]

Okay. Right, Kylie? Yeah. Okay, now we have a French teacher. The plot is thickening and I am sat. I am here for it.

[Kylie]

Look at your face.

[Jennifer]

I think you should do back to back. I think you should go out with one one night, one the next, and then sit down at this table and just spill the tea and just give a complete overview.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

When you do every detail, can Kylie message the French teacher?

[Angie]

No.

[Jennifer]

Why won't you do this for us? In Trump's America? Do you know how the suffering in our listenership right now?

[Angie]

Here's the deal. We don't even know where it is.

[Jennifer]

Does that matter?

[Angie]

Well, yeah, because I have kids graduating. A kid graduating from college.

[Jennifer]

[Angie]

No.

[Jennifer]

You know what? You're no fun.

[Angie]

What would you do if I said, yeah, let's go. Let's fucking go.

[Jennifer]

I would get on, I would get out my laptop, I would book the ticket, I would book your hotel, then we would start shopping for your dress. I would be. I would be superb. I would be A plus plus, plus, plus. At the end of it, you would say, I never could have done all of this without Jennifer because she just took the bull by the horns and helped me get to that prom to meet my soulmate. And now I speak French. Pasais, right?

[Angie]

Yeah, that would be the definite bonus. I mean, I'm not saying never, but I'm not today.

[Kylie]

Okay, we've got voice memos today. And up first, I still think you.

[Jennifer]

Should go out with me.

[Angie]

Oh my God, I hate her.

[Kylie]

We're gonna listen to Claire.

[Claire]

I have just had it with basic Republican white people watching the super bowl last night and the group chat of my co workers was going off. They were not happy about the Kendrick Lamar performance and they were saying it was the worst halftime show show ever and how much they hated it, which is, you know, that he made a statement. And yeah, they were suggesting that Nickelback and Imagine Dragons should have performed instead, AKA a more white halftime show. So, yeah, I think Kendrick did great and I just had it with the rest of everybody else.

[Angie]

Completely agree.

[Jennifer]

Okay, first of all, I love Kendrick Lamar very much and believe it or not, listener, I know all about the diss tracks because I have two sons and in order to have a relationship with my sons, I have to be interested in what they're interested in. So I'm. I know all about NBA basketball and I know all about the diss track between Kendrick and Drake. And here's just a few things I have to say about the Super Bowl. Number one, each team got to pick what they wanted their end zone message to be. And the Philadelphia Eagles chose end racism to be at the end of their end zone. And then dipshit Donald Trump, who wants to make the government more efficient, decided that he needed to go to the Super Bowl. And the reason that he's the first sitting president to ever go to the super bowl is because when the president goes places, it's a nightmare. And it's expensive because you have to have beefed up security. You have to have everybody that goes in go through extra, extra, extra, extra layers of security. It's a nightmare. Cost the taxpayer 15 to 20 million dollars. But this dipshit has to go because Brittany Mahomes, the wife of the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, is a big maga thumper and I hate her. And I want that in the permanent record. So he has thinks he has to go in grandstand. So the minute he announces he's going to the super bowl, what does the NFL do? They take away the end racism message that the Philadelphia Eagles got to pick to go in the end zone because Trump is so thin skinned and so easily triggered, as are his supporters, that they can't see a message that should be a foregone conclusion.

[Angie]

Right. You shouldn't even have to say it.

[Jennifer]

We do need to end racism. And I also want to point out that basketball, NBA, these sports are dominated by black Americans disproportionately. So disproportionately. And so you don't get to cherry pick when you're into black culture and when you're not into black culture. Because that's one of the coolest things about the United States is that diversity.

[Angie]

That's right.

[Jennifer]

And that we have such a fabulous mixed population and black people actually have culture.

[Angie]

That's right.

[Jennifer]

And part of that culture that rolled out was Kendrick Lamar. I thought he was amazing. A lot of you probably don't know. I'm a huge tennis person. And Serena Williams used to date Drake. Drake dissed Serena. Serena and Kendrick are both from Compton. So she gets out there and does the Compton Shuffle. And I just thought it was all great. Now listen, you don't have to like rap and you don't have to like Kendrick. I don't really like country music. It's just not my thing. But it's not going to ruin my entire life.

[Angie]

And I'm certainly not going to get mad enough to start texting about it. Here's the deal. As a shock to no one, I've heard about the diss track. I mean, I knew there was beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, but as I'm watching the super bowl halftime, I could not sing along to one song. Like, I didn't recognize it. What I loved, though, was all the dancing. I mean, I just thought it was a fantastic performance. And I didn't even know the words to any of the songs. And then I. I didn't know the backstory on Serena Williams, but I was like, oh, my gosh, that's so fucking cool.

[Jennifer]

Well, and what surprised everybody? So he writes this diss track, and it completely ends it. Like, he ruins Drake, and the diss track just pops off. It goes super viral. So it was like, is he gonna do it at halftime? Is he gonna call out Drake? And he did it. And so, of course, Donald Trump packs his toys up and leaves at the end of the third quarter. And poor Claire's co workers want nickel back.

[Angie]

I mean, come on, not 1990.

[Jennifer]

And it's just, you know, people. White people are so gross when it comes to black people. It's like, play your sports, score your touchdowns, shoot your basket, Serena, win grand slams. But when any other part of your culture comes in, you're DEI and we don't want any part of it. And it's just. It's gross. It's really, really gross. And I just want to point it out for the permanent record that. That the White House, all of the wealth that early American white families have, all of that labor, all of that stuff was done by black people. And they have a rightful place in the society. And you don't have to like Kendrick Lamar, and you don't have to like black music. But I'll tell you what, I personally like black culture a million times more than I like white culture right now, because they fight for everybody. And everybody has a space there except for crusty, racist white people, right?

[Angie]

And black women. I'm so mad at white women right now, ever since the election. But black women, they roll out. They're convicted. Like you said. Gay, straight, black, green, white, lgbtq. They're in the fight because they are the most marginalized of all groups.

[Jennifer]

All right, Kylie, who's next?

[Kylie]

Okay, up next, we've got Jacob.

[Jacob]

So you know what I've had it with? I've had it with this whole, like, bring masculinity back, because I work with a man who agrees with Mark Zuckerberg about that, and this man is probably 5:2 and he sounds like a mouse when he talks. So who are you to tell me that we need to bring masculinity back? I do not take, take masculine advice from Stuart Little and back to Mark Zuckerberg. He is not what I think of when I think of a man. So why are you saying that we need to bring masculinity back? You don't know anything about it. And I. If you are a billionaire, if you are in the public eye and you are spreading this rhetoric, I think before you say that, you need to send a press release that is just a picture of your penis and then we'll talk about masculinity. Okay?

[Jennifer]

You know, this is such bullshit where it's like, bring masculinity back. Masculinity has gone nowhere. If you feel like providing space for other people and leadership positions diminishes your masculinity. You never had masculinity to begin with. And so, and I agree with the caller, Mark Zuckerberg, when I see him, I just don't like think, oh God, what a man.

[Angie]

What an alpha male.

[Jennifer]

I just, I think he's kind of, you know, a geeky, nerdy tech guy. But you know what, here's the thing. I have space for all different types of men in my brain. This idea that, that men can only be a certain way or that women can only be a certain way, it's just such antiquated, low information, low hanging fruit, low IQ mentality. I mean, it's just, it's so ridiculous. And the fact that they want to jump back into these gender roles so big, it's like, listen, Mr. Masculine, we all know you probably can't get it out, right? We all know your wife hasn't had an or real orgasm with you throughout the entire course of your relationship. You advocating for this imaginary masculinity is not going to fix your issues.

[Angie]

No, they're far bigger than just your masculinity problem. I'm so sick of hearing about masculinity, I could vomit in my mouth every five minutes.

[Jennifer]

It's just the most masculine people that I know like that when you meet them, are really alpha, have zero issue with having friends in the lgbtq. Plus have zero issue with their wives having careers. And I mean, these are men who like, from first appearance, I'm like, wow, he's kind of a stud. Like my stereotypical projection of what the, you know, idealized masculine man is. The ones that I personally know that are like that, that have that, that affect physically are like some of the coolest people I know. And then some of the twerpiest little guys that are talking about masculinity all the time and try to project all this masculinity are thin, thin skinned, insecure homophobes that probably have, you know, porn addictions and whatnot.

[Angie]

Yeah, here's my thing. If you have to tell me how alpha and masculine you are, I know immediately you're not. And I, I'm with you. I think it all boils down massive insecurity. Massive.

[Jennifer]

All right, Kylie, who's next?

[Kylie]

Okay, up next, we've got a vey.

[Vey]

Good morning, my lovely weekly therapy session of bitching and complaining. I have had it with dads whose daughters decide they want to play a sport and all of a sudden they are a coach. Even though they've never fucking touched a volleyball, a softball, a soccer ball, whatever the it is, they've never touched it. They don't know about it, and yet they think they're qualified to coach not only their kid, but other kids. And so then when their daughter comes in contact with the coach that knows what they're doing, they think they can question them. I have had it. It's power dads. It's, it's giving and time entitlement, white male privilege. It's giving. I hate you. So, yeah, power dads, I don't think we've talked to any about them. They exist and it's the worst with daddy's little girl. But love you ladies.

[Jennifer]

I have a hilarious story to share about power dads. So when pumps and my kids, so when her daughter, her second child Emily and my oldest child Dylan were three, they joined a T ball team. And Angie's ex husband was the coach.

[Angie]

That's exactly what I thought.

[Jennifer]

He was the coach of the T ball team. And I start getting these emails and I want to remind you, they're like three and four years old. I mean, they do not know what T ball is. They don't know come here from Sikham. I mean, we're talking about toddlers, the most incompetent portion of the population. So I'm going into this thinking, this will be funny, right? They'll run around and it's an activity so they're not torturing me all the time. Well, this is not the way Angie's ex husband looked at it. I started receiving an onslaught of emails in my inbox that were 7, 8, 9, 10 paragraphs long in detail about the practices, about uniforms, about snack time time, about the strategy, about all of these things. So I call her up and I'm like, have you seen this bullshit that your husband is sending out? And pumps. It's like if she doesn't want to know about anything, she just can like tune it out. She says no, I won't even read it, I don't care, I don't want to know. And I'm like oh no, I have to do a dramatic reading. You've got to hear this. So in one of the emails he goes into this specific paragraph about and mind you, this T ball starts in the summer and in oklahom it is 195 degrees, 100% humidity in August it's miserable. He recommends that the kids wear long sleeved pants and long sleeved shirts so that when they slide into a base they're three, which is so ridiculous. I want to remind you this is the most incompetent sect of our population. So that when they slide into a base that they don't get scuffed up. And Angie and I are both dying laughing. But it was, it was, it was a power dad.

[Angie]

Yeah, that's exactly when she, when she started saying that I was like oh my gosh, that's exactly who I thought of. And I don't think he ever played any kind of baseball ever. Never stick ball, Nothing with a stick and a ball. Yeah, no, she's 100% right. People go fucking crazy about their kids sports.

[Jennifer]

So my second son Roman, he's played basketball his whole life. And Josh I think maybe played one season of basketball in high school, that's it. And so he's in the throes of his basketball season right now. But when basketball's over, he signed up for tennis and as his spring sport. And Josh has been a lifelong very good tennis player. Like was ranked in the state when he was in high school, he went.

[Angie]

To the state championship.

[Jennifer]

Yeah, I mean like he's a very, very, very good tennis player, knows all about it. And so I was talking to Roman about it and I was like so do you think you can actually play these magic. He's like well I play with dad all the time. I mean I'll need to get some lessons but it's my senior year and I'm not doing this to win, et cetera. He said but here's gonna be the problem. And I said what he said. All these years, my whole life dad tells me what to do. Basketball wise, he talks about it non stop strategy. I don't even listen to him because he has no idea what he's talking about. He literally knows. Knows nothing, Mom. He knows nothing about basketball. And everything he tells me is so stupid. It's so easy to tune him out because he's dead wrong. But when I start playing tennis, I'm actually going to have to start listening to him because he does know.

[Angie]

Yeah, he does.

[Jennifer]

But I have to say, caller, Josh is. He is a power dad, 100%. We have been to these games, like when Roman plays, when he played AAU basketball where Josh got, I mean, almost in fistfights with referees. Yeah. Like this one referee Josh is like, that's a terrible call, ref. You're horrible. You're horrible. The ref turns around and he's like, when this game is over, I'm taking the shirt off and I'm taking you outside and I'm kicking your fucking ass. And I'm watching him like, that probably is a pretty good idea. I'm thinking Josh probably does need to have his ass kicked.

[Angie]

Yeah. Because he just would non stop during games.

[Jennifer]

Just awful. And they're like in fifth or sixth grade.

[Angie]

Yeah.

[Jennifer]

And so then I have it on video. The ref takes his, you know, his jersey off and tried to kick Josh's ass, but some other dads intervened. But no. Power dads are a problem.

[Angie]

They're a huge problem. Huge problem.

[Jennifer]

Overlooked. Yeah.

[Angie]

In favor of the power mom. But she's 100% right.

[Jennifer]

No, she's right. Power dads, when it gets to sports are every bit as bad as the power mom with the baking.

[Angie]

And we know. I could go on and on and on about all these parents that think their child is the next LeBron James. And it's just like, shut the up. They're not.

[Jennifer]

If your child is the next LeBron James, you will know.

[Angie]

You will know.

[Jennifer]

But more than you knowing it, everyone else will. Everybody will tell you that.

[Angie]

Right?

[Jennifer]

Right.

[Angie]

You don't have to tell everybody because they'll already know.

[Jennifer]

All right. I think that's all we have. I have. We have some news.

[Angie]

Okay.

[Jennifer]

We started a substack.

[Angie]

You did?

[Jennifer]

We're trying to figure out how to do it.

[Angie]

Yeah. I was going to ask you for some help later today.

[Jennifer]

And so we're going to be posting on sub stack. You can go subscribe there. We have a Patreon. You can subscribe there. Sub stack will be more political. Patreon's more goofy. And then we have a book that is coming out that you can pre order. It comes out the end of May. And there is a link on YouTube where you can pre order our book. Is there any other. Any other items?

[Angie]

Not that I can think of off the top of my head. Oh, merchandise. We have merch.

[Jennifer]

We have merch.

[Angie]

We have merch.

[Jennifer]

All right, tell them we will see.

[Angie]

You next Tuesday and Thursday.

[Jennifer]
