The podcast features a passionate critique of modern American politics, culture, and customer service practices. The host expresses deep frustration with the dehumanizing nature of AI-driven customer service, where customers are forced to press buttons before speaking to a real person. This is contrasted with emotional reactions to shows like *Ted Lasso*, which evoke genuine tears due to their portrayal of kindness and compassion—values sharply undermined by political and social hypocrisy. The speaker condemns evangelical influence, especially its support for bigotry, white nationalism, and anti-democratic policies, citing figures like Trump, J.D. Vance, and Pete Hegseth as emblematic of a corrupt and arrogant political culture. A central theme is the contrast between American arrogance—seen in foreign policy, social norms, and national pride—and the humility of cultures like Japan, where politeness and community values prevail. Listeners share personal stories of activism and resistance, calling for justice against figures like Christy Gnome, Netanyahu, and Elon Musk, and advocating for greater inclusion of LGBTQ+, immigrant, and marginalized communities. The host emphasizes that real change requires more than political neutrality—it demands moral clarity, accountability, and a recommitment to empathy and human dignity. The tone is urgent and impassioned, urging audiences to reject complicity in oppression and to choose compassion over conformity. The episode ends with a celebration of community, identity, and shared values, reinforcing the message that progress happens when people stand together.

Ready? One, two, three.
Patriots, Gayatriots, Daytriots, Blacktriots, Browntriots, we love you.
All of the triple Trumpers, the MAGA freak shows can do what, Pumps?
Fuck off!
Pumps, what have you had it with?
Okay, what I've had it with is when customer service continues to call,
yet they don't call you and talk.
They call you and want you to push a button if it's you.
So here's what happened.
I got an alert from one of my food apps that this place you can never get into,
it's never on the food apps, is on the food apps, like 7 o'clock Sunday morning.
I'm like, I'm fucking in.
So I order it.
And the person that delivered it, delivered it like three streets over.
And so when it said, you know, that it comes up, so I had to go get it.
And I, when I hit the thing, I put wrong place.
I got three calls.
The first one, they left a voicemail.
So I knew the number.
So then they call again.
So I answer and they're like, this is whoever I can't remember.
Wanting to talk about your order.
If this is you, press one.
I thought, fuck you.
I'm not doing all this.
So I just hang up.
Then they call back.
And.
I'm just like, here's the thing.
I went, I got my food.
I told you it was the wrong place.
I'm fucking over it.
I'm done.
I'm enjoying my delicious breakfast from a place I get maybe twice a year.
Cause it's always so crowded.
And these fuckers won't let it die.
So I have had it with alleged customer service.
Being a voice on a phone that you have to hit three buttons before you can talk about it.
When you're done, I'm over it.
So I've had it.
Fucking.
Had it.
I agree.
If you want to have customer service, have the decency to serve your customer.
Right.
Having a real human being call them and not a robot.
Like it's, it's, it's a slap in the face.
It's so patronizing.
Like we care about you so little that we're not going to pay somebody to call.
We're going to have our AI robot that we know everybody hates.
Right.
Call you.
Yeah.
It's gross.
That's such a good one is so gross.
All right.
Let me tell you what I've had it with.
You know, I don't cry very often.
Very rarely.
And so I've been watching Ted Lasso.
I mean, Boodle, baby Niagara Falls.
And I mean, episode after episode, I get teary eyed and I'm crying like they make a goal.
And I'm like, I'm like, what is this?
Something's happening with my eyes.
What is this moisture of yours?
And I finished it last night.
I mean, just almost like, I mean, I had like stuff coming down.
It's not.
And I realized before I went to bed, I was like, why am I crying at Ted Lasso?
And I think it's that the juxtaposition.
Yeah.
So I was going to say.
What we're dealing with, with the government and just how you have so many Americans that are celebrating the worst people doing the worst things.
And then, of course, Ted Lasso is fiction.
But each character is so earnest and so good.
And they might fumble and they might impulsively make the wrong decision.
But then they always go back and rectify and do the right thing.
And they see the good in humanity, these characters.
And I think that that's what kind of got me where I'm crying over Ted Lasso.
And I mean, you guys, listener, I genuinely cry maybe once annually.
I cried a ton when Josh and I had all the marriage problems, the rehabs.
I mean, and I decided after all of that, I think I cried out every tear I could possibly cry.
That's what I said.
As I say, you cried all the tears.
I rarely, rarely, rarely cry.
And so, number one, it felt good to know that I'm not a sociopath, that I can actually feel emotion and to feel moisture under my eyes.
That was nice.
But I started thinking about the, you know, like the Ellisons that just bought up all of Hollywood.
And then I think about Barry Weiss, the, you know, demon lessee over there at CBS News.
That climb the ladder that women and LGBTQ plus activists installed for her to climb.
And then she gets to the top and kicks that thing over to support murder, lies, anti-democratic things.
And so, I just, I'm so sick.
I've had it with living around people in this country.
That, that.
And they support the worst, the worst that humanity has to offer, which is Donald Trump, everybody in his cabinet.
I say this all the time and I'm going to continue to say it.
J.D. Vance, who cannot stand up for his wife and kids.
And they support these white nationalists.
Open bigotry.
Open brazen bigotry.
Open brazen homophobia.
Open Islamophobia.
Open anti-Semitism.
They support all of these things with, with pride.
And then lecture us about Christianity.
I mean, I've just had it.
Well, they lecture us about family values.
Really?
Look at, I mean, top to bottom.
You've got Trump, Playboy, Bennies, and porn stars.
You've got J.D. Vance, like you said, won't protect his wife.
Pete Hexeth signing NDAs.
I mean, you can go, I could go through every single member of the cabinet in terms of family values.
We support the troops.
No, you don't.
You lie about who died.
You blame a soldier on a boat, on a submarine or boat or carrier, whatever it was,
that was on there for 10 months and didn't get off.
You, you blame his mental health issues on him, you fucking prick.
I mean, it is, it is so stunning.
And I'm like you.
I'm not a crier either.
And I have found myself tearing up over stupid things on the internet.
One thing I found out was AI that I was tearing.
Tearing up over.
And I just, I mean, I was just like, what the fuck?
I even asked my hormone girl.
I was like, do you think my hormones are too much?
I find myself tearing up over like Taylor Swift doing something nice for the people
that help her promote her shows or a baby that sees their mom for the first time.
That turns out it's AI that, you know, so happy to see your mom.
Well, it's AI, that kind of shit.
And then I'm with you.
I realize it's just so nice to see goodness.
It's so nice.
It's so nice to see like completely unblemished good things that aren't laden with corruption
and hate and bigotry and cruelty.
So I have found myself in the exact same boat and my hormones are right.
It's just me.
I think it's just seeing the, seeing this administration and how cruel they are and
all of the evangelical Christians that just so proudly support it.
They just so proudly feel like this stuff is being done in the name of God.
And they want this country to be a Christian nation because they themselves are so broken.
It's just, it's, it's disgusting.
It disgusts me to the core of my being.
It is a death cult that placates to the worst impulses of human beings.
And then they use Christianity to like, you know, I'm going to put this in my head.
I'm going to put this up so nobody can see what a bad person I am when now it's just
on full display.
The hypocrisy is, as my mother, Linda says, Donald Trump has exposed the evangelical Christian
movement for the hypocrites.
We've always known them to be darling, as my mother told me.
After a full day of podcasting and covering the news, I crave my bed.
I'm dying to get into my bed.
I actually like to watch TV from my bed because I have a Casper mattress.
It's so incredible.
It's incredibly comfortable.
The products are incredible.
And that's why I'm happy to announce that this podcast is sponsored by Casper.
Casper makes reliable, high quality mattresses designed to deliver consistent, comfortable
night after night sleep.
That's why out of 99 mattresses, Consumer Reports named Casper's the one mattress,
their top rated all foam mattress of 2026.
That's a really big deal.
deal.
Out of all of the mattresses, Casper's, the one is the winner.
Casper's mattresses are built to be durable and long lasting.
So you're not replacing your mattress every few years.
Their products are designed to withstand the test of time.
And as a person who sleeps on a Casper mattress every single night, I can tell you, it just
doesn't wear down.
It's always so incredibly comfortable.
But when I travel and I have to sleep on a hotel mattress, I'm craving my nights to get
back to my Casper mattress.
Listener, remember, the day always ends well with Casper.
Right now, when you go to Casper.com, get a king mattress for the price of a queen or
a queen mattress for the price of a fool.
And besides Casper.com, you can find Casper at retail stores across the country.
One last time, that's C-A-S-P-E-R.
Dot com and get a king mattress for the price of a queen or a queen mattress for the price
of a fool.
You won't regret it.
All right, Kylie, what is the World Wide Web saying about us?
I've got a five star review titled Preach, and they write, while I know that gin and
pumps are not at all religious, this preacher in a blue state knows good preaching when
he hears it.
You two could set any pulpit on fire, keep up the good work and let all the people say,
Amen.
Heart, heart emoji.
That is so nice.
You know, blue state churches are different.
Yeah.
I tell you guys all the time about the churches I have to walk past in New York.
Kylie, do you see those churches?
I did.
Pride flags, trans flags, all of it.
Refugees welcome.
And then you go to a church in a red state and it is a bunch of white, homophobic, racist
people that are 100% fine going to a mega church that they give way too much money to.
That the church absolutely doesn't need.
But the church would never say that because it is a business grifting scam.
No, I completely agree.
And it's funny.
I spoke to my friend that moved from Oklahoma then to Texas.
Now she's in Maine and her mother-in-law is staying with her.
And she said her mother-in-law sits in her rooms and listens to this grifting preacher
and is just super, I mean, down deep in sending money to this.
And she goes, you know, living up here in Maine.
But evangelical is just not on the board.
She's like, I forget how fucking crazy these grifters are because I've been away from it
now for three years.
And it's just, I am always taken aback by how bad it was and how I was just a frog in
boiling water for so long.
It just, you know, went over my head.
Was she evangelical?
No, no, no, no.
I mean, I think she grew up like Methodist light, you know, maybe even Unitarian, but
she's just like, she said.
She said straight up, we just don't have that in Maine.
The evangelicals have just not come to Maine.
And I'm like, and isn't that a nice thing that you can say that and see that and just
how cringy it is?
Because I, I know you say it all the time, Jennifer, the people on the coast don't realize
how bad it is here.
Like in the middle of America, in the Bible Belt states, that's why they're called Bible
Belt is because they are ass deep in it.
And everything's tied together.
If you're a Democrat, you're a bad person.
You're evil, all that shit.
People just don't get it if they've never lived around it.
No, it's, it's so evil.
I mean, the evangelical fundamentalist evangelical megachurch Christian culture movement is evil
to its, to its core.
So I do think that there are the Jesus Christ character in the Bible, the Palestinian one,
not the white Republican version that the people in the South.
There's some wonderful lessons there about radical compassion, radical acceptance.
Unfortunately, none of these little white racists worship that guy.
They worship the, you know, toxic Jesus that the Republican Party and these megachurches
created.
And that's who they emulate.
It's really pretty gross.
Okay.
I also got a DM I wanted to show you guys.
This is from Missy.
And she sent me a photo of a restaurant and said, this restaurant has pumps written all
over it.
And the name of the restaurant is Crab Catcher.
Oh, that's so good.
Missy, that is A plus.
No notes.
That is excellent.
All right.
I have some news stories I want to share with everybody.
Texas native Matthew McConaughey has some thoughts on the upcoming midterms.
Oh, goody.
Let's see.
Let's see whose side he's on.
Play the clip.
I understand if the goal is to change.
How both parties behave.
If the goal is to bring them back to the middle where most American values live, then electing
independence is a mechanism to make that happen.
The reality is midterms are coming.
And this November in more places than ever, you do have more than two choices.
And I'm not telling you to vote for.
I'm telling you to look at your ballot, study up, see if they represent you, what you believe
in.
Check if they can be that voice of reason in the middle for you.
And if they can, treat them like a potential winner because they can be.
That's what fairness looks like.
That's what reality allows for the first time in a long, long time.
Not a third party to replace the other two.
No, a permanent check to keep them both honest.
America's brand was never R or D.
It's independent.
Enjoy yours.
Just keep living.
All right.
So, Matthew, let's go over a few things here.
All right.
This myth that the people in the middle are moderate is absolutely 100 percent a myth
that is perpetuated by people like you whose messaging intentionally leans towards right
wing capitulation and framing.
Secondly, the voice of reason.
You're saying these people who do not take positions that are so comfortable in the
middle that are the voice of reason, you know, it is absolutely unreasonable when we
are up against fascism, when we have ICE agents who shoot a mother in the face three times,
call her a fucking bitch, and then the federal government calls her a terrorist, and then
whose parents and family have to go on the news.
And thank God the news.
The news covered it to say we want an investigation and we want justice into our daughter's murder.
But what the government calls a terrorist.
So you're sitting here saying that we have another choice.
Oh, my gosh.
So we can choose the fascists and the killers.
Or we can choose the resistance to that.
Or we can choose the voice of reason in the middle.
Because your voice sounds very, very, very unreasonable.
It is unreasonable.
It is unreasonable and ridiculously divorced from reality and paints the picture that you
have lived in nothing but a white protective bubble for the last 15 to 20 years.
And you have no idea the existential crisis that is happening in the United States.
Furthermore, you have no idea the existential crisis that is happening in women's health
care in your state.
Women are dying.
And Texas has decided we are.
We're not going to release the records on how many people have died until after the
midterms because that's how bad it is.
But by all means, by all means, don't vote for Ken Paxton.
Don't vote for Tallarico.
Go vote for some no-name dipshit who wants to grandstand in the most important midterm
of our election.
You could have set this out, Matthew.
You could have set this out.
It's not helpful.
In the video, McConaughey also promoted the Independent Leadership Council, an organization
launched by former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin and his daughter, Heather, in 2026, whose
company was accused of corporate price gouging for raising the cost of EpiPens by more than
400 percent.
In 2021, the Texas Tribune reported that McConaughey had voted just twice in the past decade.
I didn't get that.
So, this is pissing people off on both sides.
This, if you. I agree the two-party system makes me crazy, but it is the system that we have.
And it is the only system right now that is going to defeat fascism.
And you either vote Republican, which is voting fascist, voting pedophilia, voting pro-death,
voting for Christian nationalism, voting for the dismantling of your industry, big guy.
True Detective might not have passed the muster in a Christian nationalist regime.
A lot of these, you know, films you're in, and you and Woody Harrelson joking around making
loose gay jokes, that might not go over too well with Pete Hegseth and his testosterone
pumping, we're so hetero world.
So, be careful what you wish for.
And anybody who uses their voice to rise up to say, I refuse to take a position on anything,
seriously, just shut up.
This is not neat, cute, or fun.
It is embarrassing.
This is absolutely embarrassing.
And let's look at some of the reaction online.
This is the wealth. Manipulation.
Playing both sides against the middle to sound intelligent and still get the party to kiss
the ass of the rich.
got to look pure while doing it. The next one, shut the fuck up, hoe. You're just mad that the
polling you got back said there was no viable path for you to ever hold statewide office in Texas.
Pups. You know, here's the thing. I think that if we were not fighting fascism and we were not
already living in an autocracy, if we weren't kleptocracy by the administration, if oligarchs
weren't taking over government and we weren't on the potential of doom and destruction because of
AI and then, you know, like a McCain Obama race, I can see him being like vote independent. OK,
that message is not a necessarily bad message. Bitch, you're way far off. That's not where we
are. We are either you are for fascism.
You are for oligarchs. You are for permanent, complete, you know, 86 of the American brand,
America as a superpower, America as a place for science, you know, leading in science.
All the things that America has been known for are in the fucking shitter as a result of this
administration. And the best you've got is vote independent. Like you do your research,
Matthew.
And it sounds great. Do your research on the candidate. Do your research before you get into
a video like that. Do your research that America is at an all time low. People cannot afford gas,
food and medication. We don't need you to sit there and act like, well, you know,
let's just do this and let's not do that. Shut the fuck up. We're in a crisis. We're in an all
time crisis. Democracy, living wages, all the things at a war. We're never going to win. I mean,
like NATO's falling apart. Putin's getting ready to take, you know, take the war more widely than
Ukraine. Like Matthew McConaughey, not the time, not the place. Like you do your research. And I'll
just say this. He's a big Texas football fan. So I expect nothing fucking less. You guys know I'm
completely obsessed with.
Cozy Earth. So you can imagine my surprise and delight when I found out that Cozy Earth is now
launching a lounge set that you can actually wear. It is incredible to the touch, soft,
comfortable, just like their sheets. It stays comfortable all day long. I can wear it from
day to night, like on my Saturday or Sunday lounge days when I don't want to get dolled up.
And here's the thing about Cozy Earth that I love. Risk-free purchases, easy returns and
exchanges. You can get this loungewear set, try it for yourself. If it doesn't fit right or you
don't like it or you need to exchange it, no problem. They will do that immediately. But let
me just tell you something, you're not going to want to send them back. That's how comfortable
they are. And there's a warranty against manufacturing defects. Cozy Earth stands
behind everything they make because true luxury is absolutely built to last. So listener,
head to CozyEarth.com and treat yourself.
To your own cityscape set. And this part matters. After you purchase your order,
you'll see a quick survey asking how you heard about Cozy Earth. Please let them know you heard
about it here on I've Had It. That's how they know that we sent you. So don't skip that part.
All right. So then we have some people are questioning the results
of a new study that just came out. Let's pop this up.
To a good night's rest, let sleeping dogs lie next to you. You're more likely to disrupt your
dog's sleep than they are yours, a new study suggests. And here's an excerpt from the story.
Activity trackers similar to Fitbits monitored the nighttime activity of 25 human volunteers
and their 38 dogs in Southern Ontario to monitor how each affected the other's sleep. The study,
which was published Wednesday,
in PLOS One, was conducted during the COVID pandemic as part of a larger project comparing
the activity patterns of socialized wolves and domestic dogs. Using the activity trackers,
they analyzed objective sleep measures of the people and their dogs, including sleep duration
and sleep quality, Negendrin said. I guess that's the researcher. Dogs may actually improve our
sleep habits by forcing them to sleep. They may also improve their sleep habits by forcing them to sleep.
forcing us to adjust to consistent bedtime schedules as anyone with a sleepy whining dog can confirm.
And I found this to be true my whole life with the exception of last night.
After I cried my eyes out at the conclusion of season four of Ted Lasso,
which was, as we all know, a new feeling for me to sit and cry and feel these types of emotions about good people doing good things,
even though they're not real, I give my dogs, Tubby has medication.
He has late in life epilepsy.
So every night at 930, he has to receive three Keppra pills and Cha-Cha gets a placebo because I don't want her to feel left out.
And so Tubby's pills are wrapped in roast beef.
Cha-Cha gets just the roast beef.
I can report both the Keppra and the placebo result in no seizures.
So do with that what you will.
But nonetheless, at 930 on the dot, because you have to be very rigorous about the time in which you dispense the Keppra,
which is the anti-seizure medication.
Immediately afterwards, they go outside.
We have Keppra, placebo, and then I say go TT.
They go outside, go TT, and then I have some stairs on the side of my bed because they're Frenchies.
And so they kind of have like T-Rex arms.
So they can't jump up on the bed.
So they use their little stairs and they get up.
And Cha-Cha gets all fluffed up on Josh's pillows because Josh is in Oklahoma City and she loves to sleep up on his pillows.
And Tubby, as we all know, likes to be my husband and really loves it.
But Josh is gone because he can sleep right next to me.
Well, Cha-Cha just starts sawing logs.
I mean, it is just, she is snoring as loud as Josh.
It's Josh's snore?
Yeah.
So Josh, I'm able to like move his head.
Right.
Because that's the thing.
If you move the head and adjust the airway.
Well, I keep adjusting Cha-Cha and it just, it's all night.
I was up and down all night with her snoring.
And so I agreed with this story 100% 12 hours ago from right now.
I was all in on this story.
Now, I don't know where I am.
I mean, I'm crying over Ted Lasso and Cha-Cha is keeping me up all night.
So I don't know.
I don't know what's going on.
Your world is totally upside down.
Matthew McConaughey can't take a position.
Every time you do that, I'm just like laughing.
What a dick though.
I'm trying to.
Remember Dallas Buyers Club?
Yeah.
I mean, he did a movie about the AIDS crisis and yet he is just rah-rah-ing for this whole.
Good luck making that film with the Ellisons.
Good fucking luck.
All right.
Go by the dogs.
So my little dogs.
Okay.
I have gotten to where if I don't have one on either side of me, like I can't fall asleep.
Like when I get, like I'm out of town.
Okay.
When I try to go to sleep, it takes me an extra long time to go to sleep because I'm
so used to their little warm bodies.
And what's funny is Tilly, I've said this on the podcast before, about once a month,
she likes to go through the house in the middle of the night, just barking for no fucking
reason.
She just likes to take off, go.
It's so funny.
All he doesn't even lift his head off the pillow.
Like he knows he's like girls gone crazy and then she'll come back and get, and then
Ollie and I are spooning.
But I, if I didn't.
If I didn't have my dogs to sleep with every night, I would not sleep as good, especially
at home.
Cause I've never tried to do it without both of them at home.
The only time I ever slept without Ollie is when he was at, you know, training school,
boarding school that didn't work.
But as it turns out, but yeah, I have to have my dogs when I sleep at home.
Let me ask you a follow-up question on Ollie.
Is he able to go in the general population at school or is he still in the timeout population?
Jennifer, I hate to report that he's in the timeout population.
Now he goes.
He goes, they'll take certain dogs that he likes.
There's three or four Frenchies that go there besides Tilly.
He can help.
They'll put the Frenchies in there in the timeout area to play with them.
And he's great about playing with them.
And then a couple of the dog school teachers that take their dogs to work that have babysat
for him at home, their dogs go in there and play with them.
But is he in general gen pop?
No, he is.
He's unable to be in gen pop.
Yeah.
All right.
Kylie.
Before we move on to the next segment, which are video messages from you all, we all know
two to three episodes ago, Kylie said, I have loads of episodes loaded up and pumps.
What do we have?
Two, three?
I think we have two and then one that she set up by saying, well, I didn't want to use this
one because it's all about how great I am.
Because we're talking about how hot I am.
Yes.
So last week we did pretty good, Kylie.
Yeah.
So before we go down this rabbit hole of listening to our listeners, how many do you have for
us?
I had five when we sat down to film.
And then while you guys were yapping, I added extra just in case.
Oh, nice.
I like that because you knew the call out was imminent.
Yeah.
The call out was imminent.
All right.
Who's first?
Okay.

prosecuted for like obviously stephen miller's easy christine ohm's easy pete hexeth is the one
i'm really like struggling with how am i going to prosecute him in the state but as i continue to
walk i will continue to think all right kylie who's next okay up next we've got a really good
mother-daughter duo hi everybody i'm lucia this is my this is my mom ellen my gen x lesbian
one of three lesbian moms that i have as you see her subaru shirt
um so i happen to be wearing she just happened to be wearing it um i have fucking had it with
useless kitchen gadgets and useless gadgets in general that have one purpose
for instance pumpkin carving you have knives in your kitchen you have spoons toothpicks those
are great for carving pumpkins to hold it together when you break it because
you're gonna break it yeah um why are we buying pumpkin carving kits why are we doing that
do you have any comments do i have any comments yeah you know what's really dumb is um potato forks
why you don't need something for everything no you don't you really don't
give me a lesbian uh uh parent or gay parents
all day every day and twice on sunday over white evangelical parents yeah i guarantee you the
children are superior in every aspect that they could possibly be those are my people i want to
lift them up i want to embrace them and i want to be as far away as possible from white evangelical
parents because their kids are assholes and lucia was lovely and her lovely one of the things that i'm
most proud of is that she was a mother of three lesbian moms ellen was lovely and these are just
much higher quality people than what comes out of the evangelical lot no i agree and you know what
we've always talked about people with that have had to go through some stuff have more depth like
if you've had to struggle in your personal life on some capacity whether it be marriage or sexuality
or discrimination whatever those people have so much more depth and i feel like the
evangelical crew of which i was a part so i get to say this they deny the problems happening
therefore there's no growth therefore it's so much more surface that's just kind of my opinion on it
yeah and i think that i just want to say and i don't think you meant it this way but
having um gay parents doesn't mean you have to go through anything no no i'm just saying you
have more depth when you are like if you have two gay parents you know you have questions from class
mates and things like that like it the perfect cookie cutter normal is never perfect cookie
cutter normal it's a breeding ground for sex in my opinion kylie who's next okay next we've got
christian hi everyone i've had a podcast this is joe from upstate new york born 99 2000 i am gen z
um i did contract mursa in high school from being in the boys locker room and staring at the guys
too long anyways i am voting this midterm election for
my husband who is a part of the dream act and cannot vote um i am tired of the narrative that
immigrants are stealing from us and when it's really the billionaire class um the first person
i'd like to see go to prison even though she's not in the administration is christy gnome
yeah her and her big titty husband and that dog deserves justice as i am a dog groomer i
listen to you guys all the time i love you so much love from ranger and i am sure cute
yeah christy gnome does need to go to prison yeah and you know i i was walking through the
airport again the other day and there's it was christy gnome that we had still and no and now
it's mark wayne mullen sitting there grandstanding at tsa just acting like a complete asshole and i
demand i want big titty brian being the fake in full in full costume i i that's what the tsa needs
bring out big titty brian free big titty brian free the nip
free big titty brian's nips i want big titty brian to be the face of the tsa videos i think it would
be i think it would be unifying i think it would be like yeah so that's who christy gnome was married
to and had kids and and i also want to just normalize for big titty brian on the side that
you think is so awful i i don't have any judgment for you wearing your your big old titties and
wanting to be i'll call you crystal i'll call you a trans bimbo slut all day long if that's what you
want your wish is my command what i don't like is big titty brian's hypocrisy yeah but if big
titty brian can come out and say look i was the biggest hypocrite it's difficult being married
to christy she kills dogs she kills goats she's a narcissist i think i was kind of gay anyway
and i'm coming out now and i want to be a trans bimbo slut named crystal and say you know what
welcome to the resistance crystal you know do you want to do some videos
for the tsa to replace the ones that uh your sociopathic dog murdering and she's a human
murderer too right it was under her tutelage that um uh all of these people were shot and
or in dhs custody have died well and she's the one that reduced the amount of training
that moved them so they couldn't be investigated like no she's ended up to her eyeballs and i've
got state charges for her in many many jurisdictions and i will let me ask you
a question do you remember previous first of all i barely even remember who the secretary of
homeland security person was in previous administrations i never remember seeing
airport videos with them on it did i just miss him i thought the same thing the other day did i
ever see pete budaj oh that's right i don't think i saw pete budaj doing it but we have
an administration of narcissists like they operate with imposter syndrome and so they think okay if
i make this video then that will prove that i am qualified to do this job and so they all have to do
i mean like if i'm stephen miller and the people around him i would say you know what kiddo
you're not that great looking you're not that great of a speaker
you sound like a complete nazi sociopath maybe you can have all your maniacal ideas because we're all
down if i'm a mega person we're all down with all that but you shouldn't be the face of it because
that's going to actually harm our chances of doing all the evil we want to do but all of
these people are just like they lack so much self-awareness and they all operate under this
massive imposter syndrome that they think by doing these things they're constantly
chasing validity and it's never going to come so like a fake it till you make it kind of sitch
yeah which which at this stage i mean that's something you tell people
in high school in college i mean when you're a grown adult if you're having to fake it till you
make it you know
maybe don't fake it.
Maybe figure out who you are and be that person
instead of sitting around faking it, is my opinion.
All right, next.
I also just want to say earlier this week,
Kristi Noem, she got a new dog.
And the way she announced it
was with a photo of the dog and a gun.
Yeah, and all that's on purpose.
Yeah.
There's no accident.
All that's staged.
All that's on purpose.
All right, up next, we've got Hannah.
Hi, ladies.
Hi, Kylie.
Hannah here from New Hampshire.
Patriot, straightriot.
I'm voting because I want DEI to come back in full force.
Me too.
I am sick of crusty old white men,
as I know you all are.
And I would like to see Mike Johnson go to jail.
I think he's a terrible person.
I think he's the best representation
of the white male Christian problem
that this country has.
And I think in jail,
he would not be able to watch porn with his son
or whatever the hell he gets up to.
Um, anyways, thank you, ladies.
I appreciate everything you do.
Cancer, zillennial, no STDs.
Love you guys.
Bye.
I love all of that.
And I do think Little Grinder
would be a great candidate for prison.
Absolutely.
I do think, though, that it would,
he might enjoy it a little too much.
That's what my thought was.
I feel like he would be like,
okay, so I don't have to fake this crap anymore.
And, uh,
he would quite enjoy the showers
and things like that.
Um, and, and, you know,
he'd be like some sort of preacher,
you know,
they'd probably do gay stuff with the prisoners
and then be like, okay,
we're going to have a pray the gay away meeting every Sunday.
And then Monday through Thursday,
we're going to do gay stuff again.
And then Sunday do the pray the gay away stuff again.
I think that's what he does now.
But yeah.
Well, yeah, he did live with that guy
who answered the door in his panties all the time in DC,
this evangelical preacher.
Every time you,
the way you say it,
he answered the door in his panties.
He answered the door in his panties.
It's so tickled.
All right, Kylie, who's next?
Okay.
Next we've got Jake.
Hi, Jen, Pumps, Kylie, Seth.
My name's Jacob.
I'm a 36 year old gay tree at millennial.
Um, I'm a Pisces.
I am STI free,
but I've had some scares before,
um, about the whole no show versus crew sock thing.
I feel like the millennials,
we have whiplash over this because we used to be bullied
for wearing crew socks and suddenly no show socks
were the cool thing to wear.
And now it's the opposite.
And I just feel like there's room for both.
I wear the crew sock, uh,
when I want to look good or with a certain outfit.
And then I wear the no show sock when I'm doing something
athletic or God forbid, I just want to show my ankles.
You know, what are we, Puritans?
Anyway.
Um, I'd also like to add that I am one of those gay hairstyles.
That all of the Magga women would like to come to,
to get their hair done because they know I'll do a great job,
but they're not allowed.
And that's thanks to you guys.
Love you.
- Good for you.
This, this good for him,
because there is nothing on the planet that makes my blood
boil more than duplicitous women,
because I want to call out my own and I want straight men
to white straight men to start calling out.
Calling out white straight men.
So to the white straight ladies that know better,
that are too embarrassed to admit that they vote for Trump,
but everybody fucking knows you do.
Everybody knows you vote for Trump and you go and you're
like, Hey girl, do your hairdresser.
And you sit down and get your hair done.
And then you've secretly take part of systems of oppression
and with, with, with glee or with a dismissiveness, like,
well, it's not going to affect me.
So I'm just going to go, go along and do it.
And it's okay if I do this here.
And I think it's disgusting.
I think you either are an ally and you are a hundred percent
an ally, or you're just a poser.
And I just think so many women that I have known are total
posers and I have zero interest and zero space for these
people in my life.
I mean, absolutely.
We'll call them out straight to their face and say,
you are an abject hypocrite.
I have no problem doing it.
None.
Well, and I think that more people like you are necessary
because like, as I've talked about before,
I thought that it didn't matter how I voted.
I voted for me because I was entitled to do that because
of the Christian narcissism and I'm better.
And it, you know, it's the thousand little paper cuts,
somebody pointing out the hypocrisy,
pointing out the meanness and the cruelty.
And I hope I would have made the evolution without you,
but I do think that's a jump-starter.
So I think people that when you say that it makes them think,
and I think it's important.
I think it's, thank you for that.
But I seriously want to call to action all straight women
that are allies that live in these States and live in these
cities, Oklahoma city, where these women want to be,
you know, they want to dress cool.
They have the cool car.
They go to the cool yoga class.
They will go to the, you know, this great event.
They're on this board.
And then they want to go to the cool hip hairdresser.
Who's the, who gives the gay guy.
And then you send your kids some private hate Academy,
or you go and triple Trump because your husband tells you
about tax breaks.
You need to be called out.
I don't think you get to play pickleball with the lesbians
anymore.
I think that's bullshit.
You don't get to go to the cool gay hairdresser anymore.
Everybody knows you're a hypocrite.
And I'm about one podcast away from
making a list and just outing them.
The ones that I know personally, truly, I, it just,
when I think about it, when I think about the duplicity,
it, it, it disgusts me.
It disgusts me.
I cannot stomach duplicity.
It makes me feel like I need a massive Silkwood shower.
I don't know how people can put their head on the pillow
at night being so duplicitous.
It's something.
I've never been able to do.
And I'm always just so shocked that people are so heartless
and sociopathic that they're able to do that.
So good on, good on him, ban the maggots, ban the maggots.
That's how they have to learn, make them go to the straights
for their hair.
All right, Kylie.
Who's next?
Okay.
The last one we've got is from Kara.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
By my counting here, we've had one, two, three.
We've done seven.
Yeah.
Okay.
Have we done seven?
We've done a lot.
Six?
I thought we've done four.
We've done a lot.
I feel like we're just getting our stride.
Yeah.
I think we're just now hitting it.
I feel like we're just hitting our stride.
And you said, okay, last one.
All right.
Forget I said it.
I'll make it.
Is this going to be one where somebody's talking about how hot you are?
No.
Okay.
All right.
Those eyes tell me a different story.
I don't think she does.
Play the clip.
Hey, Jen.
Hey, Pumps.
Hey, Kylie.
Hey, Jen.
Hey, Kylie.
Hey, Jen.
Hey, Kylie.
Hi, Kylie.
My name is Kara.
1980, baby.
So we're Gen Y micro generation.
I'm a Cancer.
I've never had an STD, but I applaud the bravery of those of you who have and survived.
I was born and raised in the Detroit area, but I have lived in Berlin, Germany for the
last seven years.
So why do I vote and why do I vote when it's highly inconvenient for me?
Okay.
So it takes me three hours round trip to get to and from the embassy.
For citizen services for mail drop off.
Mail drop off happens three times per week from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
So I have to take an entire day off of work to go to the embassy to drop off my mail.
Anyway, you will pry my vote from my cold dead hands.
There were women who were beaten, jailed, killed, force fed, and had endured all other
manner of horrors for me to have the right to vote for other women.
I have the right to vote for our daughters and our granddaughters.
I don't have children, but I have vote for your children.
I also vote for those of us who don't look like me and who are not straight, cis white
men.
I have a lot of privilege just based on my skin color.
And I don't want that to be just for me.
I want that to be for everybody else.
I also want it to be there for our gay triets, black triets, brown triets, they triets.
The triets that just don't look like me.
Finally, you learn a lot when you live in a foreign country.
You get rid of the brainwashing that everybody wants to be us, nobody wants to be us.
They like their healthcare too damn much.
They like their socialism too damn much.
But they fear us.
When we have the capability militarily and economically to bring a country to its knees,
that country capitulates.
That being in Germany, it's really hard.
The anti-American sentiment is growing, but the worst part about it is when a German looks
me in the eyes and says, "Why didn't you learn anything from us?"
I mean, that's the dang truth.
I mean, it's so gross.
It's so disgusting.
American arrogance.
Yeah.
It's from a country, you see the country behave that way, and then you see the people
who vote for that.
They behave the exact same way.
It is arrogant to link her and the gay triad before her.
those two people, our two callers, it is arrogant as all get out to walk into a gay person who is
out of the closet, who is bravely living their life as to who they are with pride. When you go
and vote for a regime that wants to hurt them, the arrogance involved in that is rather disgusting.
And the one thing that I think is America's worst is our arrogance.
In the Republican Party, they are the worst at this.
They think they're so good at the economy.
They think they're so good at national security.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is now, we're allies with Russia, who's also the ally of Iran, who we started the war with, with Benjamin Netanyahu, talking about people who should remember the lessons of Germany, 1930s Israel.
It's just, it's so gross.
American culture, there's so many things I like about it, but it's all the shit that MAGA hates.
I love the diversity.
I love the pride parades.
I love the lesbian mom, Ellen, with her daughter, Lucia.
I love the shit they hate.
I love every banned book.
I like drag shows.
I want to lift up Mariah, the trans person.
That's the stuff.
Because in this country, I want to lift up Mariah.
I want to fight for the arc of social justice, bending towards fairness for all of these people, to loosely quote MLK there.
All the shit the Republicans like, I hate.
Arrogance, blind patriotism, blind nationalism.
Everybody knows how I feel about evangelical Christians.
Hate.
So, and I agree with her.
My parents started taking me to Europe in my teens.
And.
And I was living in white, cookie cutter, suburban Oklahoma City, America.
I had absorbed the Reagan era stuff that we are the best and everybody wants to be us.
And it's just not true.
It's just objectively not true at all.
Well, when I was listening to her, I kind of got chills.
I didn't tear up, but I got chills because it's like, I don't have kids, but I'm voting for your kids.
I have privilege, but I'm voting for people that don't.
I mean.
She is the best part of us right there.
Just it very plain spoken.
So good on her.
I didn't realize it took so much to vote in a foreign country.
I just thought you could put it in the regular mail, but I guess that makes sense that you can't.
You have to put it in the U.S. Postal Service.
So good for her.
She's not the only one, I'm sure.
Well, I would love nothing more than to play another video.
No, we can go all day.
Oh, OK.
Kylie, are you?
Pumps, did you hear Kylie?
Oh, there she is.
Oh, OK.
Did you?
Let's keep going.
OK, great.
Let's go.
Let's go all day.
I want a two hour episode.
Let's have it.
Let's just go.
Yeah, let's go.
Tell the midterms.
Perfect.
We're going to be 24 seven.
I can go all day.
Get Chacha over here to snore us to sleep at night.
I'm in.
I just need Tubby's epilepsy medication.
All right.
Up next, we've got Hannah.
Great.
Hello, Jen, Pumps, Kylie, Ryan, Seth.
Jen, the book is so good.
I'm only about 50 pages in, but I'm loving it so far.
Props to you.
So a couple of things.
I am a Gen Z from New Jersey.
And let's start off with why I'm voting, which this could be a whole 20 minute video, but
I'm going to keep it brief.
I'm voting because I am exhausted.
Every day I leave work, I open up some sort of social media and read like the 10 most
horrifying headlines I've ever read in my life.
It's constant.
It is exhausting.
I can't even get into what it must be like for people of color or people of the LGBT
community.
Right now.
But that's why I'm voting.
Next, on a lighter note, my hat, it has nothing to do with politics.
I've had it since I was a child, literally with people watching stuff on their phone
in public with no headphones.
Nobody wants to hear that shit.
When I am on the bus, sometimes I literally hear what sounds like someone watching a video
of a dentist visit, like drilling, grinding.
Are you insane?
Turn that off in Japan.
When I visited there, you would be shunned by society.
And I just think we need to like have that same energy here.
OK, last but not least, the person I want to see locked up the most.
I don't know if it's going to work, but number one, got to be Bibi Netanyahu.
That would heal something in me just to see him helpless.
You know, that would be my number one.
But if for some reason that can't work out, Elon, it's got to be every time I see his
face, I just feel this like rage in my soul.
And.
So, yeah, I think that would be a good way to kick off the mass lockups.
So I agree with her.
Elon and Netanyahu are absolute killers of a grand, grand scale.
Benjamin Netanyahu targets little kids for sport and, you know, evangelical Christians
like Huckabee.
And, you know, they're they're all chips in on all of that.
It's really it's really disgusting.
And then, of course, Elon Musk.
Has killed so many people for sport by dismantling USAID, which, of course, everybody knows is
America's way to have soft power in in regions and now will no longer have that anymore.
And the rise of disease and deaths will be in the millions once it's all said and done,
according to experts who have weighed that as it pertains to her mentioning Japan.
I've been to Japan and she is so right about how humble and polite they are.
And there are just certain things that people don't do.
And this to go with the last caller, that American arrogance, it just it the government acts that way and it trickles down to the people.
And there's this arrogance and entitlement that Americans think they should do, whether they're religious or not.
There is this American entitlement and arrogance that people have.
When you're in Japan, it is there is more of a sense of community like I'll never forget my friend Kazue and I were there.
I was probably like 19 years old and we were taking the train from Tokyo to Yokohama.
And I went to go put my purse.
I wanted we went to find a seat.
And I was like, Kazue, when's the train going to leave?
And she said, it's not.
Jen-san, it will not leave for like 25 minutes.
I was like, I have to pee so bad.
She goes, OK, leave our purses here.
We're going to go to the bathroom and then we'll come back in our purses.
We'll we'll be in our seats.
And I was like, I'm not leaving my purse on this train, Kazue.
It's just not happening.
I need to pee, but I'm taking my purse.
She's like, we won't have a seat.
It'll be so crowded.
She convinces me to do it.
We leave.
We go to the restroom.
We get back on the train.
It's packed wall to wall, shoulder to shoulder.
And she just weaves us through.
And then we get to the car that had our seats on it.
And then our purses were just sitting right there.
That's amazing.
And in Japan, this was in the 90s, everybody that had a cold wore a mask out of just out
of being polite.
If somebody had a cold, they didn't cough and sniff and snort on people in public.
So then fast forward that to when we have an actual
pandemic where people are dying by the tens of thousands a day and the Republican pro-life
freak out over a mask.
I remember the time thinking when I was in Japan, they were doing this shit like just
for the common cold virus or the flu, not for stuff that's really killing people.
So we could really learn a lot from other countries.
But Americans are so famously ethnocentric.
I just don't know that that hopefully I'll see that at some point in my lifetime.
But I don't know.
And I think we're going to see that at some point in our lifetime.
I think we'll end up being the death of us because that's what Donald Trump is.
He is a manifestation of all of our worst impulses as a society.
And he is so arrogant and entitled.
You know what?
I also feel like the arrogance is disproportionate with the like the dumber you are, the more
arrogant you are.
I just feel like that's a straight line going through.
I know some smart people that are pretty arrogant.
Well, yeah, but I'm talking about like America is so great.
I'm a big fan of America.
I'm a patriot.
I'm going to hunt the flag that makes me a patriot.
And it's like the people screaming that the most are the dumbest.
I mean, that's just my opinion.
Maybe they're not.
Yeah.
I mean, I think there's at this stage, I think there's definitely a bunch of dumb MAGA, but
you're very still very steeped around a lot of MAGA people and they're not idiots.
They're not.
Some of them are.
But a lot of them are.
But a lot of them are not.
A lot of them are not stupid.
Well-educated.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, there's the rubes that you see that crash into the White House, but the ladies
that want to go to the gay hairdresser, but they know they can't say openly they vote
for Trump.
There's a lot of smart people that choose the cruelty on purpose.
And so it's easier for us to say, oh, only the stupid people vote for this.
It's more difficult for us to wrestle with the fact that people in our own communities
or in our own friend groups or in our own family are actually smart enough to know better.
And that she's not.
They know better.
And they know better.
And they choose cruelty.
They choose the death.
They choose the racism.
They choose the judgment.
And that's an important thing.
I think it's too dismissive of the cult to just wave them all off as idiots, because
there's a lot of smart people that vote for this shit.
And there's a lot of smart MAGA people in the government.
No, you're right.
You're right.
I think I was.
You're right.
I'm glad you said that.
Because you're right.
There's just a lot.
I mean, there's a lot of smart people that I know that know better.
And they're the worst.
Those are the worst.
The dumb MAGAs, I'm almost a million times more forgiving of than I am the smart ones.
ones. And the smart ones are the ones that these white people that know better. They're the ones
who got brought Trump to us. Yeah, for sure. All right. That's all we have. Please like and
subscribe to our channel. We'll see you all later. I would play more videos, but we all know that
Kylie has been not her best, but neglectful of late. And I am teetering on my allyship by saying
that, but let me just close by saying, I love Kylie and I love lesbians.
We're Harmony Bank, where better happens together.
