Welcome to America's Talk to E.I. Podcast. Pumps, what have you had it with?

Well, I had a different habit to start to show, but I have successfully had it with my iPhone, which I know I bitch about my iPhone a lot. But I have the unique ability that I have in the last hour deleted both my ability to call on my iPhone and my ability to text. I don't know how I did it. I don't know if I'm magic, but I can suck up a wet dream and I can dent it with my iPhone and so I've had it.

Wow. Yeah, that's where you really did yourself. So you're unable to place a phone call or send a text. Correct.

Receive what's your plan of action? Well, here is my plan. My plan is I'm going to go to the studio and have Seth fix it. That's smart. That's my plan. Exactly what I would do. Yeah.

Yeah, because I think it's just like a reinstall situation.

Right. I can't figure it out. Like I really am at a loss. How do I continue to do this all the time?

Yeah. Yeah. It's have you noticed that they've reorganized we may have talked about this before, but they've reorganized the text messages and the most recent download and so then you have like Unprogrammed and unknown contacts and it goes to one place and it's not in your main queue. And so I ran into a couple people and I'm like, I've texted you like four different times and I open. I'm like, I do not have a text from me. I must not have my number. They pull up the contact. I don't know if that is my number.

And they're like, this is so weird. It says delivered and I'm like, it's not in my text.

And then I notice that there is an unknown text section that you have to go into.

And again, this is a situation where you have people having meetings that they shouldn't be having. Where they think, okay, let's make the iPhone better. It really what they're doing is just let's do new things with it. Right. And they do new things with it. And the new things complicate the situation like I can't even discuss the downgrade of the photo album. Like two or three updates ago. I just it's they've overcomplicated it and improvements that over complicate something that is supposed to be smart are not improvements.

And I've had it with that. I mean, I've had it too. I think my smartphone makes me feel dumb and maybe I am dumb, but I can't be the only one this happens to. I mean, probably with the regularity, yes, but I just I've had it with the iPhone had it. Yeah, yeah, I've had it too. And then you think about the people that are Android users and I'm telling you like they have this pride about being an Android user and I used to. I used them like you have a green text and I felt like an elitist right using my iPhone and then Tim Cook made a trophy for Trump and kiss the ring and you know all the things that are just horrible that we're all living through.

And the Android users, I think I would big apology to I kind of feel the same way. Yeah, I kind of and I feel like they were on to something a long time ago. Yeah, yeah, I think so too. All right, so I've had it with something that's happening to me quite a bit. So when I'm on when I'm not recording and not reading the news so that I know what we're talking about on our political podcast, I have news. If I'm on social media, I don't even look at the people on following. I just go to the curated page for me right that has a bunch of different things.

And I have a combination of tennis instructors doing little instructional videos about how to get more tops.

I have a French dope Bulldog videos.

And so I'll find a really cute like great looking dog super photogenic great smile.

I just think, oh my god, I am in love. And then I'll send the image in our family DM.

And to one of my sons and I'm like, this dog is so attractive, so photogenic. You can tell this dog has an incredible personality.

By the way, he's interacting with the camera and it's owner and then one of my sons will respond, mom, that's AI. Oh my gosh, they're doing it with dogs. Yes. Yes. And it's like, it's just a really cute like French Bulldog or a fluffy French Bulldog or something. And I like this is this is a great looking dog like this is wow. I'm so enamored. And then I find out it's not real. And then there's these videos of like these dogs that like jump into the snow.

And then they come back out of the hole and pop their head up. And I was so proud. Like I felt like that dog is fearless. And that dog just jumped in that snow.

And then came back up and was like, pick a boon to its owner. So I send that and I'm like, I wish our dogs would do this.

And then there's some moments AI. And it's just video after video after video. I mean, I knew when they had the French Bulldogs doing the high dive competition. I knew that was AI. But now it's just like there's this whole trend of AI right now where it shows a little child like a toddler that maybe three or four.

And there is a mess on the wall like maybe a crayon all over the wall. And the kid is facing the wall.

And then there's like a golden retriever behind it. And there's a series of these all different kids all different golden retrievers all different acts of domestic terrorism. And when I say domestic terrorism to any young mothers out there, you know that your children domestically terrorize your actual home with markers crayons, whatever. And so the mom is like, why is the dog you're in time out? Why is the dog standing there with you? And the kid, like a door bleak as because he picked out the color and the dog is sitting there like this. And so I've sent this to my family like, oh my god, this is so cute AI.

And it's like now this world where we don't really believe anything like there's a whole conspiracy theory that mentioned that you know who's dead, right?

Because he's using AI. I know the Trump administration, you know, the remember that speech where Trump was at the oval and he had an extra finger and steps.

Yeah, they're using AI with leaders. And so that's the dangerous aspect of it, but just from a personal aspect of it, I'm falling in love with toddlers, which is a new one. And golden retrievers and cute dogs doing cute things. And it's all fake. And this is just the way this is escalating and accelerating you can see how problematic all of this technology is going to be for us. Well, and here's the deal. And it's just the ability to distinguish it like your boys can immediately distinguish it. I can't like I've sent Kylie shit that I was serious as a heart of talk about. And it's AI. And so figuring out what is AI and what's not that to me is terrifying because obviously we've seen

of late in our political sphere. People are not. I mean, you're not always the best and brightest out there on the internet. So it's like, it's hard. And it's getting harder. And you hear all these stories. So I've had it with AI kind of had it with AI. I think it's just like a fucking hat. Oh, I think jobs. You know, everybody's, I mean, you just hear layoff after layoff and it's AI and it's just like fucking AI who needs it. When some guy saying like a super oligarch saying, oh, I couldn't parent without AI.

Yes, I'm open. What is wrong with you? It's just, it's gross. So listener on our other podcast, our political podcast, I hit news. I can't tell you how many times probably been 10 times. Perhaps it's like, I have an episode. I'll lead it. So we go into it. And we get to like the third point in the episode and she'll say Kylie play the video and the video goes up and then like eight seconds into it. Kylie and are both like this is AI. It's bad. So some of those, I have, I am not good at figuring out AI. You are a PhD and not being able to figure out. I should lead the like I should lead the club of can't figure out AI. I am the president.

I'm here.

No, but I feel somewhat betrayed though after I have developed a relationship with a canine or something adorable online and then it's I'm told it's it's fake and then I feel some sort of betray like really I just said here and I felt a motion and all of this for something that isn't real.

I don't know, when this keeps going over a mass mass, mass scale, I think it's going to be really damaging to our humanity.

Great. All right, great. All right, welcome to I've had it. I'm Jennifer.

And she, H B I C for beaver haven't said that in a while. Just want to remind everyone. I'm the head AI fraud, not detector and a beaver. I had ANC head tech at the genius bar at that. A story. Can you imagine if you into the genius bar and I was yeah. Yeah, I think yeah there would be riots at the mall riots. Okay, Kylie. How are you? I'm good. I'm a I gen it's getting so much better that it is getting harder and it's these really mundane clips. It's not it's not it's not Trump doing sort of isolate like it was you know what I mean, which that would get Angie.

Those are the kind of things Angie was getting things we all we had to we had to trash can I have news episodes that we were eight minutes into filming and then.

Trump doing a triple lads. That's the whole middle of the Olympics now times that that didn't happen. But no, it's more mundane stuff that seems believable and my kids can detect it. Josh and I cannot and it's something that's really like earnest and like. When Instagram was good when social media was good when you saw sweet connections to humanity connections to creatures connections to nature through your phone. And it was like, Oh, okay, we're all still connected real self there and then you fall for it something mundane but heartwarming and then you find out that it's fake and then I just feel such a betrayal just one last thing on this to Angie before she had adopted any friend cheese.

We were all on tour and we were sitting around having lunch and she was trying to find one she wanted she wanted this long haired thing she was I found the one I want.

I've never seen one like it it's so unique she shows us and it's a video of like a video game looking dog.

Oh, I remember that it was obvious that we were like Angie that's not real. It's like what that's the one I wanted. Okay, I've got some reviews.

This one is five stars from Scotty title spot on and he says love to see women I would typically write office maga proving me wrong. These intelligent red state women are the ones who could save this country and with a bunch of clapping emojis he says Jennifer needs to run for. You run for office. That is so nice. So nice.

And you hear that all the time would you consider it? No, I don't want to run for office. I don't. There are people that are better at running for office than I would be and I am interested in the things I'm interested in in order to run for office.

You have to take on a lot of policy and delivering for people is boring right and I don't know that I have the bandwidth to my or myself down into the boring policy of some sort of roadwork improvement and the budgeting thing for it.

The politics that we cover is the splashy stuff and I shine and talking about all of that but the truth of the matter is a lot of governing and politics is really really boring and I don't know that I have the depth to do that. And I appreciate everybody thinking that I do but this is a character defect in me. I think that I would be like the boring shit and what are we talking about today pot holes. I don't know that I appreciate it. I do but as I play the tape through, I can see myself getting incredibly bored with a lot of the really important things that politicians do that don't make the news that make our lives better a lot of bills that have all of this budget policy wonky stuff and I don't think I.

I have the middle capacity for that.

My opponent can play this exact. So I will lose. So I will lose the election. I'll say from from the horse's mouth. She thinks improving people's lives is boring and that's no part of it. I can't get to kind of say that about what people's lives improved I do.

You know, here's the thing that's so bad about this. This puts me in bad company. Trump has to have people make the news entertaining for him.

We talked about this on the night hit news episode. And of course, could I mire down and geek out on shit? Yes, I absolutely could. I just think there are people at it that are better. I think they're just better smarter policy driven people that can do much better job than me. To be fair, Jennifer, I believe that if you were an office because I don't like the Trump comparison. If you were an office, you would hire the most expert expert wonky.

I mean, you would have the most authority on the subject in every meeting and you would listen to them and you would welcome feedback that disagree with you. That's what I think.

Thank you, pumps. Thank you very much, pumps. I probably would do that.

In my interior design business, I always have like the best subcontractors. The, you know, like the let's get the best experts in here to figure out how to handle it, but I appreciate is so nice.

But I just don't want to be a politician. I don't want to have to go to work. Congress. I don't know, you know, here's the deal. If I did, possibly, can I come to work with you today? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hope you like Johnson in the hall. She didn't mean trolling around the hallways hanging out in the restaurants hanging out when we went to the DNC. She was like, I want to go up to where all the media row is. I want to see what all the what all the journalists are doing and with the politicians are doing. She left it. She wanted all the escape of even get politician two pumps.

Oh, my God, no, although I'm looking for me to run as they are coyway. Let's run. Pump pump for state house. Pump it up. If you want to pump up your life. How great would it be if like your commercial. If you just, it was like it started pump up the jam and then you just kind of came up the screen. Up the jam, we just busted out eight counts. Pump it up. If you'd like to take a blindfold and be like, justices blind and you can do this whole little dance. I think it went. I do. That's where the artist has to make a statement and be like, we do not work. Right. So we do not want using our staff. It's embarrassing.

I think pump up the jam people. I can't remember who's saying that. I think we all on board with it.

Yeah, that was a great song. That was a great song. Now I'm going to be in my head all day. I've been having this random songs are getting into my head and I can't get him out. So you know what I do that's so evil. I tell it to Kylie. She has it too. And she'll sing it. Just the one catchy as part to send it to me in a way from her. Yeah, it's yeah, that's diabolical. Yeah, because I want to get it out.

Pumps, did you ever? I would always go to clubs.

When I was younger in college and when pump up the jam came on, it was like skirt out of the dance floor just here. Just slash in my vodka around on the dance floor. Yeah, you have to dance with the drink in your hand and I would do it. I dance with the stick too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this one hand was a sig and one hand was a cocktail. And you're just just sloshing it around blowing smoke in everybody's face and you've loved it. Like more carcinogens. More, a little more down the second hand smoke. Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Yes, I mean, that's the universal popper.

Here's the thing now. I love to dance. I think it's so fun. I have no musicality and I'm the worst dancer because I can't stay on the beat.

And so as much as I love to do it, I'm really like I'm not self conscious very often, but dancing. I'm self conscious because I know I'm bad at it. So can we roll out like TikTok dances now for the I've had it. TikTok page? No, I'll do it because I like nobody has to tell me I'm a bad dancer. Like I checkmark. So if we want to just do it to make fun of me, I enjoy that kind of thing. So I'm all in. Okay, Jen, do you want to head up some news stories? Yes, I have some news stories. I want to share with everybody. The first one is, and this is about a week or so old.

We've been remiss and reporting on is everybody knows the three of us are die...

Oklahoma City Thunder Basketball fans, reigning champs, reigning MVP.

Shea Giligas Alexander. And so they won the championship. We were all at the game. It was high times, high times in the 405, which is the area code for the OKC.

The mayor David Hold, he was on a permanent high for a month on it and we had parades. It was incredible. And so as you know that when a team wins something, they get an invite to the White House. And so when you are a independent thinker, a free thinker, a Democrat, an independent, a progressive and a red state, your politics gets so diminished because of the electoral college. You never have politicians come to see you.

And you just kind of have to go with the masses. And so you never hardly ever get a little win ever in your state until this team, this national championship team.

Trump invited them to the White House. And they said, and I'm paraphrasing here. Go fuck yourself. Actually, they said we have a scheduling conflict. I interpret as, right, don't fuck yourself. You wanted to go. Totally. You think if Obama's president, they're not going over their ASAP.

Right. So during freeze with him, I mean, 100%. So Kylie put up the headline.

We have some news right now. The Oklahoma City Thunder will not be visiting the White House to celebrate their 2025 NBA championship win, breaking from past customs of NBA champions, heading to the White House to celebrate this year, according to the Atlantic, the thunder will not be going to the White House will not be meeting with President Donald Trump. They cite timing issues. They said, well, we have been in touch with the White House and are appreciative and grateful for the communication we have had, but the timing just didn't work out.

Now Donald Trump's election in 2016 has disrupted the past precedent of NBA champions visiting the White House. For example, the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and again in 2018 declined the invitation from the president of the United States to visit. And now you have the thunder declining the invitation as well. This is such a win. That's a win or people like us and blue dots and red states all over the place because we have to deal with so much.

You never get presidential candidates that come to your state for a rally because it's just a foregone conclusion it will turn red.

Here's how election night goes for somebody who's all three of us are very politically active, right?

And we follow the news cycle and all of this stuff. We can't pay and we have the signs in our yard to have stickers. We get merch. We do everything we can do for the blue ticket because we see firsthand the dangers of maga supermajorities or before maga Republican supermajorities. This is what happened to get up you're excited to go about. When you get back home when you're watching Kornaki or John King somebody, right, you know, one of these guys with a magic wall and you're flipping back and four channels is like, okay.

Right now the following states are the polls are closing in Oklahoma then it goes to do do do do breaking news don't win so Oklahoma. It's immediate and it's devastating and so cudos to the Oklahoma city thunder for not being fascist collaborators for not. Going to play paddicate with an administration that is removing actively removing black history from all pillars national parks the US military all sorts of places.

Because this is a league that is, you know, I think it's 80 something percent African American athletes really, really high and so I really love that they aren't going and then just another personal grievance that I need to air.

And if those of you that don't follow sports, I apologize for what this will make this short. But there is this announcer and her name is is it Doris Burke. Yeah, okay, Doris Burke she is an MBA announcer and she spreads propaganda about Shea Giligas Alexander and she called refers to him as a foul merchant. Yeah, which means that he is intentionally getting all of these fouls or faking people into fouls. This guy just broke Wilton Chamberlain's record. He's on a streak of like 20 plus points MBA history.

Yeah, and whenever I see somebody and we talk about basketball because I have the little Oklahoma city thunder beanie that I wear in New York and it's been really cold and people say you like the thunderstorms like I love this under SGA's incredible.

They will say oh he's a foul merchant and I was like that is Doris Burke prop...

Comps is so into sports so I want you to be impressed that I have a sports grievance pumps.

I'm very impressed. I was shocked when you even name checker. Yeah, I thought it would be really proud of me. I'm very proud.

And my boys are super MBA and pre obsessed and so this is something I bond with being a hashtag boy mom being the only hashtag girl in my family. I have had to become interested in things that I wasn't normally interested in which one is MBA basketball. And once you get into it, it's really fun and they're so athletic and the league is fantastic and obviously the Oklahoma city thunder is fucking incredible national champs. And I just want to say Doris Burke stop with the SGA propaganda you are propagandizing the youth to diminish somebody's incredible run and you need to retract that statement on the record on the record and you we will welcome you to I've had it podcast to do it to make your retraction.

Clearly at this stage you by letting this out there you are poisoning the minds of MBA youth fans against somebody who is going to be legendary in the history of big history is not going to be kind to you Doris.

And you have a chance just good. She has a chance. There's a shirt I'm going to have to get it for you that a lot of people in Oklahoma city having it's like an anti Doris Burke t-shirt. And then when I tell people Doris Burke is a propagandist then they're come back to me as oh a woman not supporting a woman.

And I'm like here's here's the thing with that the one women supporting women is one of the most abuse things on the planet.

I support women of course of course I do I don't support propagandists regardless of the gender so I've had it with all of that. All right listen or do you ever find yourself scrolling zooming in reading reviews looking for the perfect outfit.

There is a guy that works for kanks cancels mick talker to its trunk and he i...

FEMA official claims he was teleported to wawful house this is real you guys kindly play the clip.

They tell a port that incident two of them and I end up at a waffle house like 50 miles away from where I was.

That man who is yes talking about teleporting to a waffle house is Greg Phillips and he now holds one of the most important jobs of FEMA overseeing the office of response and recovery.

It was an incredibly frightening moment to experience yourself in your car flying through the air. But tell you teleporting is no fun. Phillips is a far right activist and he now helps determine how the government responds when disaster strikes. According to Billings of dollars in search and rescue operations and emergency aid he was appointed to this position in December and a scene and K file review of Phillips podcast and social media history. Found a long record of extraordinary personal claims.

They tried down what a police we felt like were were three million on citizen voters election fraud conspiracy theories and violent rhetoric for public officials said we know that three million illegally voted. Do you have the proof yes will you provide it yes can I have no. In January 2025 after Trump took office. Phillips was discussing a Trump executive order that targeted intelligence officials who had questioned the arrested a hunter Biden's laptop before the 2020 election. Phillips said this.

I'm going to find you. I'm going to track you down on the beat the living. He then talked about former president Joe Biden. I would like to punch that to the mouth right now. He is a nasty crappy human being and he deserves to die.

Phillips first rose to prominence promoting false claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

The unfounded claims were widely disputed by both courts and election officials. On multiple occasions, Phillips described migrants crossing the Southern border as an invading force and urged people to arm themselves. The world is here. They want you dead. They come here to kill you. Beware and take care of your family.

The person making these remarks is now in a position of public trust at an agency work judgment, credibility and calm decision making carry life or death consequences.

Because in abstinence only, all their taught is you cannot do any of this stuff. They're not taught about consent, proper consent, in proper consent, age of consent. They're not taught about agency and autonomy over their bodies. They're only told you all of these things are dirty, all of them. Even consensual making out in a lot of high schoolers.

Right. In the Douglass world is sin, devil, be hazelbubbs, come and get you. And then all of a sudden magically when you're married, Tadah, it's godly. And that's a real mind-fac.

I mean, that's just a, it sets up girls and boys. But I would just say one thing pumps about girls not wanting to come forward. It's worse with boys because of the societal expectation that boys should like it.

That I think even the president of the United States has said something about a male victim in his past,

when he was a New York City resident that, oh, I'm sure he really liked it. One of these teacher things. And the problem for young boys is that there is the social construct that even if it's rape, or even if it's sexual assault, that take it, you know, at least you got some. So it's even worse. And I think that as we unpackage all of this fascism stuff in the large Christian nationalist component to it,

the most co-opted group of our electorate, they're positioning and they're thinking regarding sex is problematic from leaving these kids vulnerable, that don't understand what consent means, don't understand that it's perfectly normal to want to make out, knock down, get a hikkey, you know, all the stuff that we did. Yes. And all of this also extends to homophobia. The abstinence only is a is a the anchor that leads to shaming sex and then they start quantifying which sex is the worse. So it is something culturally that when our ancestors came over here in colonized the United States of America.

We got the crazy Christians. It's always pitched us that we came over here for religious liberty.

And I think that's a little disingenuous. A lot of them came over here because they wanted to be more religious.

And we got the crazy Christians. America has had a crazy Christian problem since it's inception. The one thing the common link that people think when they think about Americans that are not Americans is how religious of a culture we are. We are very religious culture and this abstinence only stuff not only does it not work. It's dangerous. It endangers children very, very, very much not to have open candid conversations about sexuality and consent. And even after you're married and a lot of these situations, the wife is being raped, but she doesn't know that.

She knows she doesn't like it. She knows she's feels violated, but nobody's told her they'd like if your husband does it, it's fine. So I mean, it is really a disturbing problem that is. It continues to happen. It's really sad. Okay. Kylie, let's go to some voice memos from our listener.

Okay. First, we've got one from Tommy.

Hey, ladies, it's listener from Wisconsin. This message actually specifically is for pumps. And your last podcast, you mentioned spending five minutes with Ted Cruz would be better than being on a cruise ship full of Disney Christians.

Well, I just have to say that it is very bold of you to assume that Ted Cruz ...

I'm guessing it's about like two minutes and 32 seconds, which also includes four play.

The actual event going down, cuddling afterwards, smoking the cigarette and possibly rating the fridge for something to eat.

Guys, love all of you very much. Keep up the great work. Tommy, you're right. Tommy nailed it. That was such a miss on my part. I mean, Ted is a gyrator, quick shot, all the things. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Okay. Kylie, who's next? Okay. Next, we've got Chris. Hi, ladies. Gatorate here. I'm just going to cut to the chase.

I have absolutely had it with unsolicited advice. I go to take my dog out today. I see this old man very hunchbacked by the way. Just pass me by and he has a dog off of the leash. Whatever he's passing by, don't care. But then he makes eye contact with me.

And for whatever reason, I must have a very inviting, tell me everything face or something,

because he comes right over with his unleash dog and starts giving me unsolicited advice. As to, oh, well, if you take all this stuff off of your dog, they can listen to vocal commands. Meanwhile, his dog is nowhere to be found. Like where the fuck is your dog at? And then also, I can tell that my dog was very uncomfortable because he literally goes to pet my dog and my dog starts whimpering and backing away.

Sir, who the fuck are you to give me advice? Also, put your dog on a damn leash and don't give me advice about stuff that you don't even have under wraps. This is insane. Don't fucking talk to me. I don't need your opinion and figure out your fucking hunchback. Go to a doctor. I don't know what to do. Anyway, love you guys.

It's so true. Unsolicited advice is the worst.

And I have found myself in the throes of doing it. And then like two or three sentences in, I'm like, what are you doing? Why do you care? Why are you involved in this? I'll give you an example. So, it's probably about a year ago. I'm playing pickle ball with all my friends at Chicken and Pickle in Oklahoma City. And they're these people on the court next to me. And they are using the wrong type of pickle ball.

So, there's outdoor pickle ball balls and indoor pickle ball balls. And they had the wrong ball. I don't know what came over me. Like everything I've had it with, everything the collar is had it with. I was. I walked to the side of their court. And I have an extra ball and I go, hey, I just want to jump and know you're playing with the wrong ball.

You're playing with an indoor ball. And you need to be playing with an outdoor ball.

And they said, but we're indoors. And I said, yeah, I know, but this is the surface is an outdoor surface. The indoor ball you're playing with is like for a gym and a church that's been converted. So, here's the extra ball. And then they're asking a lot of follow-up questions. And it's probably, you know, about 10 seconds. And I'm like, why the fuck are you not staying in your lane and you're at twat? Why do you care? What pickle ball they are using? Why is this your business? Why are you the pickle ball?

Leader, no at all. I just was so disgusted with myself. I think I lost every match after that. And I'm deserving, deserving Lisa. Well, because I was just like, what an idiotic twat I am all up in their business. But what kind of pickle ball they're using? So, I agree with the collar. Yeah, thank you for reminding me of this because sometimes I do this.

I agree. I am. And I need to cease at all times. I do the same thing. And I'll be like, I don't know why I'm telling you this. I have no idea. Like, half the time. I don't even know what I'm talking about. But I just feel like I have to tell people it's like, shut the fuck up. Just shut up. I do it all.

Really are the worst. I'm the worst. I started telling, like, if somebody asked me a question about, like, when this happened, my new responses, it could have been last week. It could have been five years ago. I just don't know. I just, I, I fuck up timelines so bad that I've just given myself that out.

Do you think this is early onset?

We know I do. I have so many different things that I think are.

So, isn't good. I was gonna say, but, you know, last time we talked about it on the episode, I had so many people leave me comments. Like, if you're questioning, you probably don't have it. So, yeah, I do. It crosses my mind quite a bit.

So, uh, Josh and I, you know, we send each other across word many. Yesterday, I sent him my results. It was 58 seconds that I didn't send it to him. And then he sends his, and it's eight minutes, five seconds. And he just writes, fuck me. Usually it says, it makes a long for him.

I don't know, because I told you he's a victim of the clues. He thinks the people who make the crossword puzzles are colluding against him.

To fuck with him.

He gets super analytical about it. Here's the deal. Josh is super smart.

I hate saying that, but he really, really is.

So, I am surprised. He itself sabotaging, because there's no reason he can't figure this out. That's just not. Yeah. Eight minutes. All right, Kylie, who's next?

Okay, up next, we've got Brian. Hi, Jennifer. I'm Paul Pumps and Kylie. This is Daniel. I'm a Gatriot from rural North Carolina. And I have fucking had it with people using religion in the workplace. So back in February, I started a new job.

I had previously been laid off for quite a while.

And then I logged on to my first Monday morning weekly meeting,

kind of like a kickoff meeting for the week. And my boss looks out across the zoom call. And she says, we're going to start all of our Monday morning meetings with prayer as long as no one has an issue with that. And it's a meeting.

And so meeting the new hire, I have been previously laid off. All of my financial well-being was riding on keeping this job. I didn't feel comfortable saying anything. So what did we do? Every fucking Monday morning for the entire time that I worked there, we prayed as a group.

And first of all, I feel like this should fucking be illegal. But yeah, I'm fucking had it with people using their position, the power, especially in the workplace, to try to push their religion onto other fucking people. And I'm happy to report that I no longer work at that company. I found a good opportunity.

That was the first of many red flags. But I just could not fucking believe that I had to sit through a prayer

every Monday morning to start off my week.

Yeah. I mean, there's just something that complicity with religion is something that's so ubiquitous in Bible Belt states that I'm sure people in the coast or international listeners are listening that going, how is that legal?

And it is so ubiquitous. There is just this people trying to out religion each other and now pray each other. And it ends up being incredibly performative and it has no real meaning to it.

But I've shared this story before. It's probably a couple years ago, but I'll share it again. So in my early days, it's an interior designer. I got these clients. And they were building a really big house.

It was like a big project for me to score. It's probably like 8,000 square foot house. And they were real hardcore Bible thumbers. Like the guy was he had some sort of, he was like some sort of Christian DJ and he had was real high up in the mega church and all this shit.

And he listened or you know, you know how much I despise this shit. But I was poor. And I mean, money was money. And so I take the job. And I thought they were just kind of, you know,

I lived in Oklahoma and I knew Bible thumbers. So each meeting that we go to, I would show them something or pick out something or design something.

Like, OK, for the crowd melding, I think we do it this.

We do this many inches. It starts here, it wraps here. And it was like, praise Jesus. Not like that's a great idea. Everything was like, praise the Lord.

And the Lord has spoken. And it was just Lord has spoken. It was crazy. It was bad, manus. OK, so then the paint color, we get to the paint color phase.

And literally it's like a warm white with beige undertones and then a warm white with gray undertones. Those are the two options. And they're just tormented. And it's in these kind of things when you get in these projects. You just live with it forever.

You get narrowed down to you. It's common to have this kind of torment. So I said, which one do you want one to do? They're going to start painting tomorrow. The painter needs the colors.

And he said, well, you know what? I think we're going to do Jennifer. We're going to take this home and pray on it. And you're going to say that. And we'll get back with you in the morning.

And there's just like, I just cannot fucking work for these people. I just cannot fucking work for these people.

And then I think a couple of days later, something happened on the job site that was not my fault.

But this is a very common thing where the subcontractor mess is something up. And they call the designer or somebody. And they just start screaming. These Christian people.

I've never had my attitude out by a subcontractor, a builder, an architect, a client.

Like I have this guy that was like the radio Christian DJ slash part time pastor of a mega church. It was richest shit because the house they were spending was few million dollars typical. And he calls me and he's like fucking, and he's, it's F bombs. He's like the fucking trim carpenter didn't put the, it's this many inches. Did you tell him, did you fucking tell him Jennifer?

And I was like, yeah, I can send you the email that I afforded to him. It was all drawn out. This is on him. This is not on me. Well, the goddamn bill.

I mean, it was goddamn sucks and fuck me and all this shit. And I was like, I don't think I can work for you anymore.

I just don't, I think we're done.

I think I need to quit the project. I'm firing you as a client. This project has to be over. And then he calls me later that night in the evening with his wife on the phone.

And that's always, you know, when that's been a life I have to be on the phone together.

He's a big boy. He needs to apologize on his own. He doesn't need his babysitter on the phone with him apologizing for being a dick. And she's like, honey, do you have something you would like to share with Jennifer or a child? I'm, you know, I let my wife and I let with prayer and sometimes Satan gets a hold of us.

And I just, I really wish you guys the best of luck with your home. I genuinely do. I am not a good fit. I am not a good fit for this project. And it was a shit ton of money.

But they're just wasn't a bank account big enough that I could go through that process. And this was just when we were doing the bones of the house before we even got to the furniture. And it was just I had to cut bait. I had to cut bait.

Yeah, and it's hard to cut bait when you have like, you have to have the money.

Here's the deal. I wish I could say any part of that story surprised me. I wish I could say, oh my gosh, that's just, that's not the norm. That's exactly the norm. It's exactly exactly it had divorced clients to do the same shit to me.

It's like, I want to pray over this decision. And then it's like, you know, they're fucking everybody on the street. You know, they're just horrible, horrible people. And it's just like, spare me the fake outrage over not going to Sunday school on Sunday. Like shut the fuck up.

Josh, my husband will have criminal defense clients that are charged with a crime. And they'll be like, well, what we're going to do is we're going to accept Jesus again. For the get re-saved, the re-saving and Josh will go, that's great for you. But the judge is not just not going to give a shit about that. Like that doesn't mean anything in court.

I'm glad you're personally doing that, but that just means nothing. All right, Kylie, let's do one more color. Okay, the last one we're going to do is Brian. Hi, Pumps. Hi, Miss New York.

Fucking city. I have sort of had it with that. It's Brian from Oregon. The one who had it with bare feet on an airplane three years ago, well, which is on back with a cameo. And by the way, congratulations on your gay award.

So I can say that because my husband's gay. I have fucking had it up to my nostrils with people at the grocery store who shove parsley and their shnaz for a sniff test.

Well, first of all, I don't want your bookies on my parsley.

Second, this is store-bought parsley laying in a box with ice shipped from Mexico, not known as farm and tuscany. So now I have to scoop the box out and take my parsley from the back to avoid all the nastyness. I witnessed it three times in the past two months. I swear to God. And for the permanent record, this seems like something Pumps might do as part of her charanism.

Love you, Pumps. Love you too, for for... Kaka! Okay, here's the nail shoe. Well, he knows what he said.

Well, I can totally see you cram in that shit right up your nose and doing a big sniff and then putting it right back down. He, he, he picks up what you put down. Yeah, totally. And I have even done the cannula. I don't get parsley because I don't cook that much, but in the summer I get cannula and I hate picking out cannula because I fuck it up every time.

But I will sit there and do that. And then I realize I have my whole nose when I get in the car has like dirt on it from shoving it in so many cannula. So that is me nail vent.

So is there a sniff technique picking out a cannula?

YouTube videos like if it smells sweet like if it smells like the inside of a cannula. Stop, stop. You went on to the worldwide web and googled how to pick the correct cannula. Yes. And why do you?

Video. Yes. I watch several. I mean, I, I, I love cannula. I love watermelon.

I will eat one, I love love love it, but I can never get a good one, never.

So I mean, I went deep in this, yes, and I didn't, I never knew this about you. Yeah. I love you like cannula watermelon, but I didn't know that you put this kind of effort into picking one out. Yes. Because I, for like four years, I got shitty ones like cut it open and threw it away.

It was so bad. Yeah. Okay. Like the pre-cut cannula is that not, because it kind of hasn't weird after taste. And it kind of gets mushy in certain spots.

What about honey do? You like honey do? I do like honey do, but not like I like cannula. See, I prefer a honey do over the cannula. I do.

I like a honey do better. I would rate them as follows. Watermelon. Honey do. Cantaloupe.

In the melon category.

I think I would go canolope watermelon melon.

Wait.

Canolope first.

Then watermelon then honey do. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I prefer a honey do over.

I just didn't know that it, is there a whole subculture of people that engage in this type of

internet deep diving about how to pick the correct. I mean, I don't know. How many of you have?

It had like over a million views.

A couple of them. Like millions of views. People want to know how to pick a good canolope. Okay. Now I'm looking at the day I.

The next time. No, I think it's probably real. I think there's probably a whole like. niche to that. But because we're not growing it.

So we're we're. We're having a trust. Whoever grew it. Right.

But there is a farmer's market.

Close to my apartment in New York on the weekend. They set up every single time. Now I particularly. Don't really know how to. I wouldn't even know how to begin to cut a canolope.

I'm not culinary thing is not my. The seeds and all of that in and I just. But the next time you're up here. You can go to the farmer's market because I would imagine that.

I think that the farmers market free would be superior.

To the grocery store. Do you have any intel on that with your deep dives? Well, no, it didn't really go into that. But I do. I stop at those corner melon people.

Like a better owner. They'll have like canolope and watermelon stands. I'll get him from there. Is it better? Yeah, I think it is.

But then I don't know. You know, I don't know. Because then I have them pick it out. Like the person that grew it. I'm like pick me out of good one.

So that that tends to be better. Seedless watermelon or traditional watermelon. It has to be seedless. Like I hate being like that. But I have to have a seedless watermelon.

All right. Well, I just didn't know that you. I didn't know that that you were investigating and researching and educating yourself on how to pick the correct.

Is this an ongoing thing that you continue continuing education?

Like you're continuing legal education? No. I'm practicing my skills. This is about two years ago. But I keep my skills.

Okay, I'm proud of you. Let me know. Like keep us updated. What a good one. Yeah.

All right. Listeners. We'll see you next Tuesday and Thursday. I'm out of with that. Listen up.
