Patriots Gay Trio They Trio Black Trio Excellent. Welcome to America's Top DEI Podcast Pumps. What have you had it with?
Angie
Okay, what I've had it with is line hoggers. So I'm at the gym the other day. There's three of us that all walk to the water machine at the same time. This other gal and I grabbed the little cups they provide. This guy pulls out of Nowhere like a 1 liter container and while we stand there, he fills his entire thing up and I felt like the appropriate thing to do would be to say go ahead, this is going to take a while. But no, he sat there and we were both rolling. I mean, who does that? Lack of self awareness just hogging everything. I think you have to have more self awareness in line.
Jennifer
I mean, you bury the lead here. I identified ages ago on this podcast, America's DEI top Podcast, that a lot of problems in America right now stem around performative hydration.
Angie
And you know what? You're exactly right. Because it was performative because I watched that motherfucker the whole rest of the time I was at the gym. He never took one sip out of that water bottle.
Jennifer
This, this is, this is just another piece of evidence to my long held theory that all of this, the Stanley cups, oversized water bottles, it's all bullshit, it's all performative, it's all new. It's a capitalist fetish thing where people are fetishist. How big can my water bottle be that I carry around when everything else we're trying to make small, but that people want it to be gigantic? I mean, I just, that kind of crap drives me insane. The grandstanding and performing about drinking water like it's or novel. And then the people who talk about hydration and being hydrated like it's a new thing. And it's like it's not new. It's just that we've all been drinking all these sugary drinks and now we have this huge obesity problem. And then people are like, oh, maybe we should drink what our bodies are made of water.
Angie
We should drink more water. That's a great idea.
Jennifer
It's not new. It's not a new thing. What's new is all of the people that have a fetish about it and they're fetishes. And I guarantee you the guy was maga. I guarantee it.
Angie
Oh, a hundred percent. I could tell by looking.
Jennifer
Okay, I'm going to tell you what I've had it with. Okay, I've had it with. Obviously it goes back to airports and air travel, but I've been traveling a lot lately and I'm at the airport and you're like in your boarding group and you're kind of like parallel with somebody. You're not in a row, you're kind of parallel waiting for them to call your group. So they call your group and you got some man, typically middle aged white dude, and I start to take a step and he takes a step and we're still parallel. And somebody's going to have to give the last probably six flights I've been on by myself. I give because I'm like, we're all going to get on the plane at the same time. It's going to land at the same time. We're all going to get off And I know that my resting heart rate is a lot lower than yours. And we get off the plane, I could lap you in the airport on the way to baggage claim. I know I'm in better shape. As evidence. Tennis career in pickleball that we've talked about. Previously on the podcast. So I always seed. And the men usually used to. They would let the lady go first, right? Not anymore. And so I'm like, it's okay. You can go ahead. And they just. They don't say thank you. It's just like, they just dart to the line, and I'm just walking on behind these little smug pricks. And they've always got muffin top, you know, right. Barreling out over their jeans, you know, just look like hammered dog shit. And I think, I hope you liked that. I hope you liked that I let you go first, and then, sure enough, I'm sitting around the person, and I always make sure to let them off first.
Angie
Really?
Jennifer
Always. Because I want to prove that I can walk faster.
Angie
Oh, like, eat my dust.
Jennifer
Totally. I'm like, yeah, you. You. You jockey. You just get neck to neck in there, big boy. You get your eagle shirt on with the grenade, and I'm a big boy and all your stuff, and let's see what happens in the jet bridge. It's game on. And I mean, I. And then I say, behind you, passing on the left, and I just blaze right past them.
Angie
So you suck them under on the jet bridge immediately. Not even in the airport.
Jennifer
And I let them know, like, pardon me, like, you wanted to get off this plane first. You. You had to be a dick and couldn't be gracious and let the lady go first in the boarding. That's fine. Are you gonna be a dick again and let me let you off the plane before me? Which, of course, he did. Entitled, right? And then. And then I've just. I've turned it into a thing where I'm like, all right, let's see how fast you are, big boy.
Angie
Do they even try to catch up, or do they just kind of, you think, secretly embarrassed?
Jennifer
I don't even know if they even track all that as much as it is, like, this juvenile thing to be first, right? Like, I like to stand up soon after the plane lands, but that's for my circulation. It's not because I want to beat others off the plane. It's because I don't like my blood sitting without moving for very long. And I know that's weird, but I read this article years ago in People magazine about Some woman who was flying to Cancun or something or another, and she got a blood clot in her leg. I've read those and like it sat there. And I know I accused Josh of being a hypochondriac and I totally admit that I'm being a hypocrite right now. But I do have a blood clot prevention plan wherein I like to stand up immediately, kind of rotate my ankles, shake my legs off a little bit to prevent said blood clots that I read about in the great medical journal People magazine. Well, absolutely. And so, yeah, so. So I just, you know, I always just want to blaze past it. But now my new thing is just let them all go first. Let them all go first because it's game on in the jet bridge. It's game on.
Angie
I love it so much that you take it over in the jet bridge.
Jennifer
They're going down in the jet bridge.
Angie
I probably would have assumed it went into the airport, but you're just like, we're not even around because here's the.
Jennifer
Thing, if you're going to be a dick and you're going to have to needle in to the line to board early and then you're going to have to needle in to get off early, you better be in your must be in a huge hurry. You must be no in the jet bridge. It is lollygag on the phone texting. This person that was in a huge hurry to board you, huge hurry to get off the plane doesn't even have the decency to take it over the finish line and walk quickly and briskly off the jet bridge. So my intention is to humiliate immediately in the jet bridge.
Angie
Do you feel really like haha, motherfucker, when you pass them?
Jennifer
I just feel like, I mean, I just feel like, you know, I'm just riding with the wind, you know, just like, eat my dust m effort.
Angie
Sadly, he probably doesn't even know what's going on.
Jennifer
So listener, I've had it with that. But you know, it's conflict resolution. Conflict, conflict resolution. My conflict is with these, you know, just assholes in the airport that can't be gracious because they're in such a goddamn hurry. And then they get off and they lollygag. So then I'm going to say, eat my dust mfers.
Angie
I like it. You know, it is always striking to me how everybody is like when they say, okay, we're getting ready to board the next plane, people like run up like the plane's going to leave without him. Like, it's fine. Like, everybody's going to get on and people just cram immediately.
Jennifer
All right. So anyway, that's just how. That's how I've handled that. And it makes me feel better and it makes me cope with traveling with the general public a little better. Like an internal competition that I created.
Angie
Well. And it also goes to your athletic prowess.
Jennifer
Thank you for pointing that out. Yes.
Angie
I mean, absolutely. They're just.
Jennifer
Thank you for reminding the listener this.
Angie
Woman is a fantastic athlete.
Jennifer
Yep, got it. Got a tennis match today at 1pm I will be ripping forehands so you can come watch pumps.
Angie
I've invited this offer.
Jennifer
I've invited her listener to come watch my tennis lessons slash, match multiple times. And much to my surprise, she always says no.
Angie
Right. I actually have a conflict of a workout at that time, so.
Jennifer
Oh, at the gym. Jockeying for the. Yeah, I mean, so here's what you can do in that situation.
Angie
Okay, good. I need. I need hints. Because I was so mad, I would.
Jennifer
Just say, oh, my God, I forgot my cup. I forgot my big cup. Can you hang on just a second, sir? Before. Before you go back and just fill up about 10 little cups and help him carry you over to your weight machine and then just shoot him like Jagermeister. I mean, just go down and just shoot him.
Angie
You know what I thought just now when you said that? What I should have said is, boy, you have a big water bottle. Are you overcompensating for something?
Jennifer
Yeah, that'd go over real well, right?
Angie
Especially because it was probably magic.
Jennifer
All right, welcome to I've Had It. America's top DEI podcast. The most mature podcast in America. I'm Jennifer.
Angie
I'm Angie, the head beaver in charge of the most DEI friendly podcast on planet Earth.
Jennifer
Yes. And we have a lesbian hire because we traffic in DEI at all times. Kylie, I'd like for you to start adding your pronouns to your email signature stamp. I haven't noticed that. And so I'd like for you to please specify your pronouns moving forward. I will. I'll start the email with it and then I'll end it with it. Hi, this is Kylie. She, her. Thank you, Kylie. She, her. Or maybe I'll switch them. I'll do, like, he, him at the top, she, her at the bottom, and just fuck with them.
Angie
Really throw them off.
Jennifer
Yes, that's great.
Angie
Or subject. You can put something, something, something. Kylie.
Jennifer
Yeah. Listen up. Listen up, Maga, you. The planes may be crashing and we might not have enough air traffic, but by God, nobody in the government is signing their email she, her, you triggered little titty babies.
Angie
And I bet you on Trump's gifted plane, I bet you there are no pronouns on that flight, Only security infiltration devices. What do you get? What do you think? You think the flight attendants say she, her on Trump's plane?
Jennifer
Well, no, of course not. Because, I mean, they're so triggered by the easiest things on the planet. The whole dismantling of the DEI is because MAGA got triggered by pronouns.
Angie
Right.
Jennifer
That you're that petty and insecure as an individual, that pronounce words trigger you so much so that you want people fired and you want major components of American safety in government to be dismantled.
Angie
Right. Because you can't handle somebody saying she, her. Yeah.
Jennifer
Jesse Waters. Greg Gutville. Don't worry. I mean, have you ever seen two more triggered man than men than those two?
Angie
No.
Jennifer
I mean.
Angie
I mean, they are just the biggest titty babies I've ever seen.
Jennifer
I mean, every night. How easy, easily triggered they are over pronouns and all sorts of stuff. And they don't stand for anything. Like nothing. It's like Rush Limbaugh when he died. Nobody ever talks about anymore because he didn't stand for anything. Stood for nothing. Zero conviction, right? Zero.
Angie
Yeah.
Jennifer
On anything.
Angie
Well, I'll tell you what Jesse water stands for. Men should not drink it out of straws. That's what his big commitment to society. Right, Right.
Jennifer
They don't stand for anything. All that's just that makes them feel masculine for 0.5 seconds.
Angie
Right? Well, beating up other people, that's their brand.
Jennifer
Okay, Kylie. Yes. I've got a couple reviews for you today. What pronoun are we going by today? Today I think I'll be she. Her. Okay. Okay, this one is five stars titled Hate and they write I hate it. Five stars, that's a good one. Okay, and then this one is five stars titled I love it here and short. Shar writes from the super stupid mega MAGA maggot state of Mississippi, where April 27 is now officially Confederate Heritage Day, thanks to our moron of a governor, Tater Tot Turtle Reeves. I would like to thank you ladies for saying everything that I say daily out loud. I am a black lady truck driver and I am visually assaulted on a daily basis with MAGA hats, MAGA flags, MAGA bumper stickers, and stupid cyber trash trucks. I could literally throw up from the onslaught of stupidity, but the sigh of relief comes from having you ladies playing in my ear and having a secret laugh at all these MAGA idiots. Keep up the great work.
Angie
That's a great review. I didn't know we were celebrating Confederate flags in Mississippi.
Jennifer
They've been celebrating them since the Civil War. I know, but officially it never stopped.
Angie
I know, but I just officially licensed by.
Jennifer
I mean that is that it never stopped.
Angie
No, it doesn't. Now I hear they want to resegregate schools.
Jennifer
I mean, the Confederate. And this is again, this is something that a hill. They will die on, a war they lost, a war that was lost. They will continue flying the flag. And they do that because there's a specific breed of white people that constantly want to remind people, black people, we're here and we're not ever letting you get to the same place that we're standing on. And it is, it is systemic, it is insidious, and it is so horrific. And I remember in Oklahoma City when Barack Obama came when he was president to downtown Oklahoma City, there were protests, which I support, but a ton of people, people had Confederate flags and Oklahoma wasn't a part of the Confederacy. And I'm sure that was lost on them. And they didn't know that component of history. But the purpose of that, Joe Biden wouldn't have been met with a Confederate flag. The purpose of that was because Barack Obama was black. The purpose of that was to say, you black man, are not welcome here. You might be able to do that in blue cities, but you're not welcome here. And of course it made national news. And I was so embarrassed and I was so humiliated. And again, I just want to remind so many of our listeners are always asking, what can we do? What can we do more of, number one, subscribe and help build liberal anti propaganda media chambers, echo chambers that we can all counteract the right wing propaganda machine with. But number two, on a personal level, if you hear racism, call it out. Silence is violence allowing. And this goes to a lot of white people. White people are so insidious and always give deference to racists and racist statements and off color remarks. And I am just a big proponent that all of us have to stop and you don't have to be an ass about it. But just to say that is incredibly racist. And I don't want to hear that. Right. It's cruel, it's racist. Don't use that kind of language in my presence. Put them on the spot immediately. Because bullies always completely cower and shrink immediately when they're called out.
Angie
That's exactly right. And that's such a good point about the silence. Because if you hear Something like that, your general gut reaction is just ignore it. But if you just say, I don't think that's appropriate, I find it racist, and you have leave it at that. You're not looking for a big topic. You're not looking to change anybody's mind. You're just saying that's not okay for me.
Jennifer
Right. I do not want to hear racist remarks about other human beings that happen to have a different color of skin than I do. I mean, it's very simple. It's beyond appropriate. I mean, you know, you said that's not appropriate. It's beyond that. It's a human rights issue. It's a moral flaw. It's a moral shortcoming that happens in white circles that, you know, the homophobia and the racism. And you see it both coded overt and covert on Fox News. But in a personal place, in our own communities, we can start to stand up and say, you can't say that kind of shit around me. You can go to your right wing media echo chamber free base on Fox News, get in your Facebook white supremacist group, go to your white Christian nationalist church. But around me, I do not demean black people. What you said is racist and unacceptable. I mean, I think you have to go further than appropriate. It's unacceptable.
Angie
I like unacceptable better.
Jennifer
I think you're right, you know.
Angie
Yeah.
Jennifer
Because people like you and me pumps are in positions where we're rounded.
Angie
Oh yeah.
Jennifer
You know, there's no doubt about that. And letting those people feel that sting a little bit is, are ways that we have to take back hold of the narrative that we support equality for all. Right.
Angie
And, and, and you know what? I just keep thinking, because we've talked about this recently, those little bitty differences in my former life, in my former thought pattern, it was the little comments that maybe I didn't react to in the moment, but that I ruminated on. And so those are the kind of comments that maybe people will second guess what they're saying. Maybe they don't even realize what they're saying when they're saying it. But if you take, if, if you're called out in a situation like that, not saying you have to be aggressive or rude, but just that's unacceptable. That's very demeaning. It's race, something like that, then maybe that person will start looking at that better. Because I feel like that's how it kind of started for me was the internal dialogue. So that gives me some hope because I have control over that.
Jennifer
Right. And everything you said is spot on because everything seems so overwhelming by design. What Trump is doing, flooding the zone and this is what authoritarian plays do. They leave you feeling helpless and hopeless. And so many people in comment section and we get emails and DMs about what can we do, what can we do more of? Maybe there's not enough protests right now, sadly, but we all have to work and Trump's a economy and. But these are ways that, that you can help advocate on a personal level, face to face. When somebody says, you know, something racist or homophobic, you know, it's just. And draw a boundary like I'm not going to be if you continue this type of language too. I'm not going to be around you. It's just, it's a deal breaker. It's a more. You've revealed a moral flaw that goes beyond politics for me, that is just leads me to believe that we are not compatible.
Angie
Right. And have you noticed an uptick in misogyny? Just little comments since Trump took office? I don't know if I'm just more sensitive to it now. I'm paying more attention because I anticipated with his history with women, with his administration, you know, that he's surrounded himself with that. I anticipated this, but I feel like I'm hearing more little remarks like on the radio and stuff. Have you noticed that or you think it's just me?
Jennifer
No, the data actually shows that what you're saying is correct. So there was a poll in 2018 that asked a group of 18 to 24 year olds, do you believe that women and men should be paid the same? Over 70% said yes, that was just 2018. Seven years ago they did the same poll, same sample size now, and it dropped from the high 70s to the mid-40s. Wow. So, wow. Not only is that something you're hearing, it's something the day of the data is proving. And it's because they have created the right wing, has created the manosphere. Because if you look at Trump's approval ratings, the people who buy it the least are women. Right. When you get into white women, some white women are all chips in, want to dry hump the flag with Trump and some weird fucked up twisted menagerie. That's their problem. Right. But educated white women. He's minus 38. Minus 38. So there is an active attack on educated white women having jobs, having agency, having independence, in the same way that they attack black people and LGBTQ and immigrants. And that's why I get so frustrated. And I know you share in that frustration with white women who have jobs and who are excelling because of liberal white women before them that pave the way. And so there is. This is intentional. It is an intentional attack because they're eliminating any parts of the electorate that are not favorable to them. And they have built this massive media echo chamber in which to do it. And then you have people like Andrew Tate. Oh, and what's that? That Charlie Kirk that goes to colleges. Right? It's intentional. It's intentional to get white boys and young men to feel like they are under attack. And then it takes the eye off the ball. Why can't you afford a house? Why aren't you making as much money? Well, it's not because of women. It's not because of minorities. It's not because drag queens, not because trans people. It's because the generations before you have rigged the system. Minimum wage is not raised. And you have a bunch of boomers and Gen Xers that just drool over their 401ks all the time. Free basing Fox News don't give a about the planet and the way they leave it or what generations do unless they share DNA with that generation. Right, that's it. Again, the movement stands for nothing. Stands for absolutely nothing. This episode of I've had It is brought to you by booking.com booking.

Jennifer
Jen, I've got a video that you sent me that I'm going to play for you and pumps and a listener today. Okay. So. Yes, Kylie, this video I sent to you because I thought pumps. America's greatest legal mind would get such a kick out of it. So this is a guy, a judge and a defendant who's signing in for court and they're doing like a digital court hearing via Zoom. Got it. Which I think has been a lot more common post Covid. So this is the interaction with the judge and then the defendant play the clip.
Angie
Good morning, sir.
Jennifer
What's your name?
Angie
Me?
Jennifer
Yeah, you. Yes, Nathaniel Saxon, sir. Your name's not but 3000. You yo ho logging into my court with that as your screen name. What kind of idiot logs into court like that? What's your name again? Nathaniel Saxton, sir. But I don't believe that I typed anything like that in. Well, that's what it says. Why?
Angie
I understand.
Jennifer
That's just. Yeah, you should. I'll put you in the waiting room. You can sit in limbo for a while and think about what you call Yourself online signs into court and his username is Buttfucker3000.
Angie
People are so dumb. They're so dumb. Yeah, I mean it just that I mean it flat. When you pull into a zoom. Am I right? When you pull into a zoom, it has your name on it. I mean, you can see it.
Jennifer
Well, I don't know. I don't know if he saw his or not. Whether it's zoom or what. Maybe it's some court system internal thing. Right?
Angie
Why would that ever be on there?
Jennifer
Whatever the. Whatever it was, he had made his username as Buttfucker3000 inadvertently logged back into that same thing and the judge is seeing him as butt fucker 3000.
Angie
I really like about that is that the judge is like, you're gonna go sit at the back of the line. Because lines in court like that are hours and hours and he has to sit there and figure it out. This whole thing, I mean, it reminds me of like when everybody was during COVID Like people caught at work masturbating on their.
Jennifer
Oh yeah.
Angie
And I'm just like, like, you can't wait till the zoom's over.
Jennifer
There was a cnn, I forget he was a CNN legal expert.
Angie
Jeffrey Toobin.
Jennifer
Yes. And he's just on some zoom and just, you know, beating the meat on zoom.
Angie
I mean, I get it, like if your kid or your wife walks by in the back or something like that, but to sit there and masturbate when you're on a zoom with other people and you know, it seems to me to be incredible, incredibly risky.
Jennifer
Well, I don't think there's any question about it. And that you couldn't wait till the zoom was over.
Angie
That's what I'm saying. Like, it's just, it's so stupid. You could have waited 15 minutes, zooms over. I mean, jack off to high heaven.
Jennifer
During COVID My kids have since revealed to me. So when the schools were shut down, they had to log in and do digital school all the time. They each made a loop of themselves looking at the camera, looking down, typing, making a note. And it was about a three minute long loop. And then they ran it on repeat. And so they logged into class and then put this video of themself up looking like they were engaging in everything. Meanwhile, everybody in the class had done the same. They're all over playing video games.
Angie
Okay, here's what I have to say about that. That's brilliant.
Jennifer
I thought it was never pretty innovative. Had he told me that, that in the time, right. I'd been like that's, you know, you can't do that. But since then, they've told me and the in when Roman did that, he was in seventh grade. So if a seventh grader can figure out how to fake being on a zoom, right, and you've got some legal expert over there beaten off and butt 3000 signing into court in front of a judge. And the seventh graders had this shit all figured out on Covid. How to skirt the system and not listen to, you know, your teacher drone on and on about equations or history or whatever. Right?
Angie
I mean, if a seventh grader can do it effectively, these people should be able to.
Jennifer
Exactly. Okay, what's next, Kylie? Is it me? It's you. Okay. All right. Okay. I found this story and I want to read it to you all. Japanese husband finally talks to his wife after giving her the silent treatment for 20 years. A Japanese man made headlines in 2017 after ending a 20 year silence with his wife. And they also lived together the entire time. O2 Katayama stopped speaking to his wife, Yumi, after feeling she gave more attention to their children than to him. Though Yumi continued trying to talk to him, Otu only responded with nods or grunts. Despite the silence, the couple stayed together, had another child, and maintained their home, all without verbal communication. The couple's children grew up never hearing a single conversation between their parents. Their son Yoshiki, then 18, said he had never once seen them talk, a silence that defined their family life. Eventually, he reached out to a Japanese TV show for help. Producers arranged for Otu and Yumi to meet at Nara park, the same place where they had their first date. In a quiet, emotional moment, O2 finally, finally spoke. He says, somehow it's been a while. You were so concerned about the kids. I was kind of jealous. I was sulking about it. He went on to thank her for her patience, expressing regret and a desire to talk more moving forward. You know, that's what I have to say to Yumi is be careful what you wish for.
Angie
Exactly. Like you might think, God, I wish we'd go back to that. Holding a grudge for 20 years, jealous.
Jennifer
That she was a doting mother.
Angie
I think he. You know what he gets in my book? Thumbs down.
Jennifer
Well, he's just a titty baby.
Angie
Titty baby. I mean, they're your children and you're mad that your wife's giving more attention.
Jennifer
Let's just talk about this. When they're having the Cold War, they have another kid.
Angie
That's the crazy part. They have another kid during no talking Which, I mean, obviously you can do.
Jennifer
All right, let me ask you this, okay? Would you rather be married to a yak mouth for 20 years or what was his name? O2.
Angie
Hands down, not even close. O2. I mean, it's not even.
Jennifer
Would you rather be married to O2 or your ex husband?
Angie
O2.
Jennifer
Okay, I have a question for you. I noticed that your children, of course, I follow them on Instagram. One of them posted a graduation photo. Right? So it's you, your ex husband, and the kids. It was very nice. It was a lovely photograph. But I couldn't help but notice that you and your ex husband were wearing matching shirts. And I wanted to know, did y' all coordinate this? Do great minds think alike? Did y' all have a conversation about it? I wanna go over all the details. Did anybody point out that y' all were dressed alike? I wanna know all of the details about you twinning with your ex husband.
Angie
Okay. It's interesting that you bring this up because it was quite the point of interest at the graduation.
Jennifer
Well, I can certainly understand that because I kind of, you know, zoomed in on the photo. I spent. Spent quite some time on it after double tapping the heart.
Angie
What you're missing is that Emily, our daughter, had on a yellow dress. So I walk into the party and she immediately says, we're twinning. And I look down and I'm like, I have on jeans, she has on a dress. And she's like, we're both wearing yellow. I'm like, okay, yeah. So I'm sitting there talking, my ex husband walks in, he's got a yellow shirt on. Immediately every single person in the group with whom I'm talking says, oh my gosh, did you guys plan this? You guys are twinning? Do you call each other da da da da da. And I was like, oh my God. You know, I was just like, wow, that's weird. Whatever. So then I go outside and I had three people outside that don't know me as well as the people inside. So is yellow your family's color? And I was like, we have been divorced for years. We are not wearing the same thing. By design, three people.
Jennifer
All right, let's get to the nut cutting.
Angie
Okay.
Jennifer
What did your ex say to you about it and tell us all of the interaction you had with him.
Angie
He was trying to make like, haha, isn't this great? I'm like, people wear yellow all the time. Like, I was just having no part of it. I didn't find it cute.
Jennifer
It wasn't a pale yellow I mean, you guys were wearing bright yellow, honking yellow. I mean, it was. It was. It was bold.
Angie
It was yellow. And here's what made me so mad about it. I had just bought that shirt that day and I loved that yellow shirt.
Jennifer
Will you ever wear it again?
Angie
Absolutely. I'm not letting him ruin my yellow shirt. But here's the irony. So the next night was the actual graduation and I thought about wearing a green shirt and I even had the green shirt on. Decided, no, I don't want to wear that. So I wore something else. I see him and I show up and he's wearing green. A green shirt. We would have been twins two times in a row.
Jennifer
Maybe. Maybe there's stuff still left on the table.
Angie
Love is in the air, Kylie.
Jennifer
Let's now hear what any of our callers are saying. Up first. I've got one from Jay. Okay, I got one. I was just listening to your last I hip news and you guys were talking about Jesse Waters and how he always is talking about, like, you know, you can't use a straw this way. You can't sit this way. You can't, you know, act this way if you're trying to be a straight man. And as a gay man myself, I do remember feeling that way. I remember before I came out thinking, oh, my God, if I sit this way, people are going to think I'm gay. If I, you know, if I do this, people are gonna think I'm gay. You know, like, if I drink out of a fucking straw, people are gonna think I might be gay. So I think Jesse Waters is just projecting and like, queen, come out. You deserve to be out. But, like, ugh, if he ever came out as gay and still acted the same way, girl, we need to boot him down just like we did Caitlyn Jenner. Fuck that bitch. While we're on the look. Love you gals. Bye. Okay, Jay, I think that's so spot on. And Jesse Waters pursuit and confirming his heterosexuality and masculinity. We too here feel like it is a huge red flag. But having your personal story added that you specifically the things he said, you did those exact same things before you came out. Just another tool in our toolbox here to help understand the psychology behind the abusive trauma that he projects onto his viewers. And I will die on this hill. I believe that so many men in the maga movement have been turned on or aroused by a penis before. I'm not saying they're gay, but I'm saying there has been some porn, watching some bi curious. Maybe some are closeted, but I agree with you, Jay. You need they need to come out. And it's just horrifically sad that the Jesse Waters of the world earn millions of dollars and Rupert Murdoch earns billions of dollars at your expense. And that is something I will never stop fighting for, is equality for the LGBTQ community.
Angie
I agree with you 100%. I think that the and we've talked about it ad nauseam, but the more you have to tell people and let them know yes, I'm straight or yes, I'm this or yes, I'm that, you're. It's an internal dialogue. You're telling yourself and you're trying to convince other people. And I completely, I mean, I completely agree. I think the personal experience lends credence to what we've been talking about. Nothing is more important than sleep. Which means nothing is more important than a Leesa mattress. Leesa mattresses have improved my sleep. They are comfortable. I don't get hot. They're everything you would want in a mattress.

Jennifer
All right, Kylie, who's next? Okay, up next we've got Stephen. I have had it with people turning their ages into different words. What do I mean by this when someone says oh instead of turning 21? Oh, I'm turning 20. Fun or what? I just saw someone said entering into 30 thrive and I'm a little confused because are you 30, 33 or are you 35? This is information that I deserve to know because you've put me into the mix. I didn't even know today was your birthday, but now I do know it's your birthday and I deserve to know.
Angie
What age you are.
Jennifer
I've had it with this.
Angie
I did not know this was happening. Have you ever heard this?
Jennifer
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Angie
Like 20, fun, like.
Jennifer
30 and flirty. Yeah, yeah. Lordy, Lordy. LaCuse40. You know, it's just all this stupid slapstick narcissism. I mean it's just the birth over the top birthday celebrations for adults are just more than I can take. I mean, of course, if it's your birthday, if it's Kylie's birthday, I want to say happy birthday. I'm so glad, you know, send a nice message. But when these, the. When the person who was having the birthday does a lot of posts advertising about it and making poetry and making up words and making. Replacing numbers with words. What we have here is just pure unadulterated narcissism and ego. Right.
Angie
And I think it's perpetuated by social media. But I'm just going to say this. Everybody that thinks they're so super special because they have a birthday, you really aren't. Because everybody has a birthday. Everybody all day long has birthdays. Yours is not a national holiday. Except mine was for a time because the courthouse would be closed on my birthday for President's Day a couple times. So yeah, so I thought maybe it was on my account. But everybody has a birthday.
Jennifer
It's just I get like when, when it is somebody's birthday and they post like I saw somebody post the other day and it was their birthday and they are in a bikini me and it's like, I'm 48. This body has made kids. This body has changed poopy diapers. This body has gotten divorced. This body. And it was like it was the most self centered and the woman had a great body. Right? There's no question about it. But she made her birthday post the. The most ridiculous overt humble brag you've ever seen in your life. It was like, I'm 48 in this body. You know, it's just so. And that is all over the Internet and it's just like I would just appreciate and respect it a million times more if you just posted the picture of yourself and put, you know what, it's my birthday. I think I look really hot for 48. I would be like double tap. But going through the. The battles and the journeys of the childbirth and the. It's just. Oh. Another thick point it made is like this body is seen many hours in the gym, you know, grunt, sweat and tears. It's just. It was like she had been off at war. Like she had fought a war and had just returned home in a bikini. It was so embarrassing.
Angie
Please send me the next time you get that. Next time you come across one of those.
Jennifer
I will.
Angie
Kylie, I need to see this.
Jennifer
Of course I'll. Of course I read it twice. I'll see if I can go back and find it. It was hilarious.
Angie
This body.
Jennifer
This body. And then of course, the people, their enablers are like, oh, my God, you look amazing. Which is what she wanted, right? Maybe the thing is she should have post herself in a bikini and say, I'm feeling insecure today. I'm 48. Please tell me how hot I am below.
Angie
Here's the deal. I would have said, you look so hot.
Jennifer
What?
Angie
I would have been like, okay, she.
Jennifer
But you know what? Here's the deal. Just shut the up on your birthday. If you're at a birthday dinner, right, and everybody does a photo and it'd be like, I had the best time celebrating my birthday with all these people.
Angie
100.
Jennifer
Or just write happy birthday to me.
Angie
Happy birthday to me.
Jennifer
With a photo of yourself. Yeah, but the. The reach arounds and trying to sell some Starbucks. Mom sitting there acting like her body has been through a fucking war. And back when she has had the luxury of being able to hire personal trainers, top notch medical care, a husband that funded her bank account so that she could do all of those things. And then to post at 48, all that her body had been through I found incredibly rich and narcissistic.
Angie
Yeah, I find that to be. First of all, I'm dying to see. I'm dying for you to find it. That's funny. I think what if. About if you just put a picture of your birthday if like you want. If you were dying to show everybody your body in a bikini and just be like, this is me at 48. Look pretty good. I would even go for that more than all the other shit.
Jennifer
But just happy birthday to me. Okay, let's move on from that. Kylie, who's next? Okay, up next we've got Libby. Hi, Jen. Hi. Pumps forward, slash. Beaver in charge, forward slash. My Princess Diana. And my favorite lesbian, Kiki, Kylie, Kendall, whatever the fuck you're called now. I have fucking had it with Americans. Obviously you're not included in this because I listen to you as much as I can, but I'm actually on holiday in Portugal right now. And you're sat at the restaurant. Let me take you a picture. You sat at the restaurant. You're really enjoying the, the local cuisine and I'm just sat there with my boyfriend. I'm straight. I know it's a monstrosity, really. And I'm trying to enjoy my meal. And these won't shut up. They're so loud. Oh my God, y' all. That's so amazing. How are you doing, Brown? No one cares. No one wants to hear you. Everyone is turning around in their streets trying to make eye contact to just quietly say shut up. Yeah, that's what I've had it for. I mean, I, I agree with her. It's, I didn't realize how loud and obnoxious Americans were until you travel abroad and then it is just like, oh my God, we as a culture are so loud. And me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Like there's no self awareness that other diners might not want to hear you speak so loudly. And I, I noticed it when I traveled abroad. I was like, fuck, Americans are so loud. That's why I always try to have more self awareness about other people. Like when we're out and about or like walking down the hallways and hotels, it's always fucking Americans. Always. Just, I'm here in this hallway now, so I get to be as loud as I want to instead of like. And it goes back to the whole Americans. It's we preach, teach and covet individualism. Europeans, it's about collectivism. It's about all living together. And America, like from birth, we're taught you are an individual and you are unique. You are the best you you there has ever been. You are the best version of you. And here's the deal, kids. You're not that unique. You're another person whose parents raw dogged and you're just trying to get through this show called life like the rest of us. You're probably the worst version of you and you could do a million times better by shutting the up and quit screaming at the restaurant table. How about that? How about quit telling everybody how you need unique they are? I don't think that's helpful. I think it's damaging. I bet they don't do that in Europe.
Angie
You don't think they all get a participation trophy in Europe because they're so.
Jennifer
Special now even just beyond the, beyond the trope of the participation trophies just that the language that's always used with kids in the toxic positivity culture. You are the best version of you. You. You are so unique. You are so special. And it's like for a kid to hear that all the time, you go home, your mom's an alcoholic and your dad's a total piece of. You probably think, like, really, this is special.
Angie
I have been guilty of that, though, to my kids. Not unique, but just like, oh, that's so special. You're really special. Especially when they were little. I was. Mark me down as a contributor to the problem. I don't do it now, but I did do it. Yeah, I have. Guilty.
Jennifer
You are. See, and I think that's a part of the. My mom. One thing I'm gonna say she was really good at is she would always say, don't worry about what other people think about you, because everybody's always thinking about themselves. Or if I wanted to do something, she'd, you know, like, when I'm older, I want to be an actress. Actress. Jennifer, everybody on the planet wants to be an actress. 0.01% are able to get into it. As special as you are to me, darlin, you're not going to be that special to the world. I was always told that, like, here, to me, in my eye, you're special, but when you get out in the world, get ready. Yeah, she did very good job kind of prepping me to not think that I was hot shit. Surprisingly, that didn't help any sense of. Of narcissism that I suffered from in my 20s, despite her best efforts.
Angie
Don't. Doesn't everybody suffer from narcissism in their twenties?
Jennifer
But I tell you, she really tried to curtail it, and I just, I found that. And I mean, I lived in that for a solid decade. Some listeners would probably argue I'm still there.
Angie
But, yeah, I remember my mom saying to me, nobody's thinking about, like, well, I can't wear that. I've already worn it. And her going, nobody's remembering what you're wearing. They're worried about what they're wearing. And that. That is so true. And I, I was really good about saying that to my kids because in general, nobody really gives a. What you're doing. They care about what they're doing.
Jennifer
Okay, the last one we've got is from Jason. Hi, ladies. Fellow Black Tree at Gay Tree here from the East Coast. I've had it with people who, when you let them know how you have harmed them or how they have harmed other people, Instead of their response being I'm so sorry that I did this. I will work to be better. Blase blossoming on that narrative. It's always. Let me run down the laundry list of reasons as to why it's hard for me right now. And bitch, I don't give a fuck that you, you were busy this week or that you didn't get that good enough sleep last night. Because what I'm telling you is that what you did was foul and some and you need to atone for the harm you caused towards me and other people. That's what I'm talking to you about. I don't give a. About your life story. Take some accountability and grow the up. I'm tired of this, of having to explain why you did wrong when what really your response should be is I should do better and I will be better. I had it.
Angie
Had it. I 100% agree. Like sometimes you cannot give anything but an unmitigated apology. This, I'm so sorry. And of course everybody has extenuating circumstance in every situation, but an unmitigated apology is few and far between.
Jennifer
I totally agree. And oftentimes for the offender, it's cathartic to apologize. It prompts enlightenment and growth just to sit in it. And even if you think the person is overreacting, but to. I think one of the worst things that people do, like when somebody says that hurts my feeling. And instead of the person saying I am so sorry, sorry, is that you're overreacting, you know, minimizing that person's pain. And here's the, here's the situation listener. Sometimes the person is overreacting, right? But if they want the apology, you give them the apology. Then you just start a full on ghost. You just start drawing boundaries. You realize this friend is going to be high maintenance.
Angie
Too much. Too much.
Jennifer
Yeah. But in general, you know, if, if, if you and I are both really good at this, if I hurt somebody's feelings or have offended them in some way and they come to me, my immediate reaction is, I am so sorry. Right?
Angie
Yes.
Jennifer
And I try not to qualify. No ifs, ands or buts. Just, I am so sorry. I'm so sorry that hurt you.
Angie
Right.
Jennifer
And that's the end. You're really good about that.
Angie
Well, I just think it takes away from the apology in the mind of the person receiving. If you're like, I'm sorry, but it's like, but you just have to be sorry, even if. And just say you're gonna do better. I think that's a great point. I'm gonna try to do better.
Jennifer
Yeah.
Angie
The best you can ask for.
Jennifer
That's a really good point. Okay, listen. That's all we have for today in Trump's America from America's Top DEI podcast. Listen to me, listener. It is super important. One of the biggest things you all can do to fight the fascist autocratic, take you yourself, engage in left leaning media and encourage your friends to follow and engage in left leaning media. The right wing for many decades has built, built a media empire which has led to the twice elected Donald Trump who is systemically and systematically trying to take away your rights and dismantle our entire way of life. Life. And it is so important that you tell everybody that. Yeah, you can still watch cat videos, yeah, you can still watch a little bit of porn, but you've got to take time out of your day to engage in left leaning media. There's us and there's a whole lot of others, but they outnumber us by a long shot. And we will never take this country back and have equality for all until everybody gets that and values that. And this is just being apolitical right now is a luxury only afforded to the 1%. The rest of us, we've got to engage. And these are little daily micro ways that you can engage to help save the democracy. All right, we have a book coming out. Life is the Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches. Please click the link in bio. I still have not walked this book up here. I've got to get an assistant.

Podcast Summary: "I've Had It" - Episode "Titty Baby Nation"
Release Date: May 20, 2025
Hosts: Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Description: A comedic, feel-good podcast exposing listeners to all the things they didn't know they've HAD IT with!
In the episode titled "Titty Baby Nation," hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan explore a variety of everyday frustrations and societal issues with their signature humor and candidness. From personal pet peeves to broader cultural critiques, the duo engages in lively discussions that resonate with listeners who share their sentiments of exasperation.
Angie kicks off the conversation by venting about line hoggers at the gym. She recounts an incident where a man monopolized the water machine, filling an oversized bottle without taking a sip, leaving her and another woman waiting unnecessarily.
Jennifer expands on this frustration, delving into the concept of "performative hydration." She criticizes the trend of using oversized water bottles as a means of showing off, labeling it a capitalist fetish designed to make individuals stand out.
Shifting gears, Jennifer shares her disdain for certain behaviors observed at airports. She describes the competitive nature of boarding and exiting flights, where some individuals act entitled and impatient.
Angie questions whether those being outpaced even realize the competition, highlighting the unspoken race to exit the plane first.
The conversation takes a more serious turn as Jennifer and Angie discuss pressing DEI issues. They critique public figures and societal attitudes that undermine efforts towards equality and inclusivity.
Jennifer points out the decline in support for gender equality, attributing it to the rise of right-wing movements and toxic masculinity.
Angie emphasizes the importance of calling out racist and misogynistic remarks to prevent their normalization and to promote accountability.
The hosts engage with listener comments, addressing various frustrations and societal observations.
Jay, a listener, discusses his irritation with figures like Jesse Waters, linking their behavior to broader issues within the MAGA movement and advocating for LGBTQ+ equality.
In response, Jennifer and Angie provide empathetic insights, emphasizing the need for personal accountability and systemic change.
Jennifer and Angie critique the trend of rebranding age milestones on social media as a form of narcissism. They express irritation over creative phrases that obscure actual ages, viewing them as unnecessary attempts to garner attention.
Jennifer shares her disdain for an over-the-top birthday post featuring a woman in a bikini, labeling it as rich and self-centered behavior.
Angie agrees, suggesting that genuine expressions of birthdays without the exaggerated performances would be more appreciated.
The hosts delve into the dynamics of apologies and accountability in personal interactions. They discuss how individuals often deflect responsibility when harmed, instead of offering sincere apologies.
Jason, another listener, shares his frustration with people who fail to acknowledge their wrongdoing and instead offer excuses.
Jennifer advises that offering unqualified apologies can defuse tensions and promote healing.
In their concluding thoughts, Jennifer and Angie urge listeners to engage with progressive media to counteract right-wing propaganda. They stress the importance of active participation in advocating for equality and maintaining democratic values.
They also tease upcoming projects and encourage listeners to subscribe and engage with their content to support their mission.
"Titty Baby Nation" presents a blend of personal anecdotes and critical societal observations, all delivered with humor and unfiltered honesty. Jennifer and Angie address common frustrations while also tackling significant DEI issues, encouraging listeners to reflect and take action in their own lives. This episode serves as both a venting session and a call to engage actively in the ongoing fight for equality and mutual respect.
