All right, listener. I know for each of you that tune in every single day, the news is just horrifying at times, but it's so important that you be a responsible citizen. And if you care about this country like I do, you have to stay locked into the news. And that's why every single morning, we go to our Ground News Vantage plan. And let me give you an example of how this works and you can follow along at home on groundnews.com I've had it. So here's a headline that showed up in my Vantage plan. So Supreme Court ruling offers little relief for Republicans divided on Trump's tariff. It tells me that this article leans left and has a very high factuality. Same subject, different headline. Trump to sign new 10% global tariff after Supreme Court defeat. It tells me this is a lean right publication with mixed factuality. So then you know, okay, do I want to read something with mixed facts, factuality that's owned by the Murdoch family? I'm going to go with the one that has high factuality. Listener.

Patriots, gay trots, they trios, Black triots, Brown triots. And all the triple trumpers can do what? Pumps. All right, welcome to America's top DEI podcast. Pumps. What have you had it with?
Angie (1:48)
Okay, what I've had it with is all of these ads that come across my phone that say, we've got a mom hack for you. We've got a mom hack for makeup. We've got a mom hack for all this other shit. And I'm like, why can't it just be a shortcut? Why does it always have to be a mom hack? Like, shut the fuck up. I'm just tired of everything has you have to be a mom. And maybe I'm just sensitive with all this crazy in the world, but I'm just like, if it's a shortcut, everybody can use it. Not just a mom.
Jennifer (2:23)
Yeah, there's a lot of the use of the word mom as it pertains to women. And you don't see it equally done as a dad hack. And so there's this constant social reminder to women. Like, I. There's this mommy blogger we've talked about on here a lot. They're called Scary Mommy or something. And they would cover some of the stuff that we would do on our podcast, and they would always refer to us as mom podcasters. We don't have a parenting podcast. That's not what this is about. Do we talk about kids sometimes? Yes. Do we talk about motherhood sometimes? Yes. But they would never talk about any of the podcasters in the bro sphere as dad. Dad podcasters. And so I think it's just a lot of some inherent sexism and also just patriarchal reminders that women are for breeding. And you even see this in liberal spaces where I think Scary Mommy is kind of a more progressive blog. But they wanted to diminish us and diminish our voices by branding us as mom podcasters. And they put mom in front of it for it to be intentionally reductive. And so on that mom hack stuff, I mean, I don't know what. What that is, but I'll be fine with it as long as I see dad hacks and equal, equal time with all of that. Because it's just. It's a constant from both sides, this pressure on women or that only the moms can do this. I totally agree with you. Pat it with that too.
