0:23So are we supposed to start the podcast? Listen up, Patriots, Gay-Triots, They-Triots, Black-Triots, and Brown-Triots. Pumps has abandoned us on this Thanksgiving day. She has fled to Mexico City with her children for a well-deserved vacation. And I'm here with none other than my husband back in Action City in Oklahoma City. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Welcome, Josh, to I've Had It. Hello. Happy Turkey Day to all the listeners, all the viewers. Josh, what have you had it with? Well, now, this is a humdinger. Okay. This is, as some of the viewers, listeners know, gay-triots, patriots. Yeah. I've co-hosted on this show from time to time.
1:11The last time that I co-hosted, we were in the throes of moving the princess, Jennifer Welch, to New York City. I was told, given rather short notice, that I was going to be co-hosting. We were en route to the studio to co-host. And it dawned on me that I was wearing the same outfit I had worn at the gym, not realizing that the filming of this was going to be sort of full length, full body. And so I sat through a hour and a half long session wearing knee high socks, short, short workout shorts, not realizing that all of this was going to be exposed to the viewer and didn't get to properly dress.
2:00And so what I've had it with is the fact that I was sort of put Johnny on the spot without being able to address this with the viewer why I was wearing such a ridiculous get up. And it was I saw the video of it and I saw a few of the comments. It was what in the fuck is Josh wearing? Because I had these knee high socks that you've made jokes about that old people wear. I was OK. A few things about this. we before we went to film we decided we were going to go exercise first and so after we exercised we just ubered straight to the recording studio and josh did ask me at the apartment am i going to be seen from the waist down at all and i said maybe it depends on how they set up the camera but i didn't really probe into it let me just stop you there that would be the sort of understatement So I'm on the side table with my legs in full view, me with these knee high socks, like short shorts, short workout shorts, not knowing that this was going to happen.
3:04So I'm rendering these somewhat serious legal opinions about things, quasi serious all the time. I'm wearing this get up and I'm sure that any sort of casual viewer that just sort of hopped on is thinking, OK, what the fuck is this? It's not just any sort of casual viewer. Every other comment, I would say four out of five comments was what the fuck is Josh doing? Why does he have any pants on? But here was something interesting that I discovered that day, listener, and everybody knows my husband's rather vain. And so I noticed when we went to the gym together, he does like to wear short shorts.
3:40I mean, he's got good legs, got it, flaunt it, whatevs, right? Okay. I mean, throw the Patriots a bone, no big deal there. Uh, but I did notice that you wore compression socks. And so I asked him just rather straight up. I said, are those compression socks? And you were like, oh yeah, I love them. And then you immediately go, is there something wrong with them? And I go, well, they're kind of like old man socks, like hiked up. It was just a really interesting look considering you really spend a lot of time curating your outfits together. I was so surprised. And I support if you need compression at your age, darling.
4:16I support that. Thank you. I am so shallow that the thought that anyone would look at something I'm wearing and then have some hesitation about it. So that instantly sort of jarred some sort of insecurity in me. And I don't, I like a high sock because I've got these trashy tattoos from like the nineties that I got in Arkansas. And so I like to cover those. That's a complete lie. You did not get those tattoos in the nineties in Arkansas. You got them when you were like 40 something we were married and i remember it crystal clear a couple of them were i was sitting maybe 98 not these on the calves no these were you were you were 40 something years old anyway these long socks i like and the compression i think does help with circulation but i didn't realize it was a sign of aging that looking at someone wearing compression socks you immediately equate that to kind of an old man and once that dawned on me i thought okay these compression socks are going to have to go.
5:13Like, I don't know that I can. Have you worn them since then? Yes, but not pulled up to that extent. And in fairness to me, I was not told that this look was going to be shown on the internet to hundreds of thousands of people. I didn't know that had I been given some notice of that, I would have adjusted my wardrobe. I think our listener liked it. I think our listener liked it. Here's the thing. We put out so much content and then how fun for them that they're, you know, like, oh, they're in New York. Oh, the husband's subbing in. And then all of a sudden there's a wide shot. It looks like you're sitting there in your goddamn panties.
5:47That's exciting. And Trump's America. And I like to share that with Jennifer. I go, Jennifer, I look like a buffoon. And of course she just gets this glowing look on her face. Like, I know, isn't it great? You know, it's like zero empathy for my presentation. Keep in mind, I do have a law firm that I practice at. So I'm on the internet looking like a fucking buffoon, But hey, it's exciting. I think it's exciting that I think it's exciting that you were reporting legal matters in your panties. Kylie, did you notice the when you first got the footage because the studio would have sent it to you to edit?
6:21What's the first thing you noticed when you saw the footage? And then please elaborate on the comments on YouTube. I'm so glad you brought this up because we had an incident like, I don't know, two years ago where Josh was mad at me because I didn't tell him about his panties that he was wearing in that episode. Yeah. So I get this footage, I pull it up and he did it again. I couldn't believe it. I thought this must truly be a choice. So I didn't say anything. You thought I was going for that look. Yeah. I think you wanted the comments a little bit. I want to get spicy. And I do want to say this.
6:56I do want to give Emma a shout out and say, I apologize. Like, I'm sure I showed up like that. And she was very smart, intellectual person and great guest. And I'm sure she was like, OK, what's the story here? So I did want to provide some context for the viewer and just sort of get that grievance off my chest. It's kind of set with me over the past few weeks, but I've gotten past it. I think it's fun. I think it's exciting for podcasting. I think it was a curve ball and sometimes the mundane content that comes out. Jennifer's husband's subbing. Oh, he's not wearing pants. I thought it was exciting and fun.
7:32Didn't you, Kylie? I did. I thought it was nice. And honestly, Josh, it's really good for our algorithm. So thank you for taking one for the team. That's good. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Let me tell you guys what I've had it with. So I've had it with something to do with my husband. He, when he orders from a particular fast food restaurant on DoorDash, somehow my phone number is synced with this taco shop. So he's ordering his own meal that has nothing to do with me. I'm even in a different state. I'm in New York. He's in Oklahoma. And I start getting text alerts. Thank you for placing your order at the taco shop.
8:16I'm FaceTiming with him and this goes down. I got six notifications for your DoorDash order and it wasn't even food for me. And I don't know how I'm involved in this relationship with you in the taco shop and DoorDash. I don't know how I get out. I don't know how to unsubscribe. I want to take a poll that says I don't want to be a part of this relationship. Yep. I want, um, first of all, me hearing this makes me want to order tacos every day. Number one, that's number one. Let's get that out. Number two, it's a little bit, I'd like to say it's a little bit of intentional payback for me dressing up like a clown on your podcast, but it's not, but I, I do sort of welcome the sort of like you enjoy the kind of, you know, the pettiness in it.
9:07I kind of do too. And the fact that I think you shared with me that You get a notification when the order's made. You get an update on the order before it's actually leaving the store. Then you get an update when it's left. You get an update when it's arriving. Then you get an update when it's dropped off. Okay, here it is. Hi, Josh Welch. Your order from the taco shop has been confirmed. Hey, Josh Welch. Your order from the taco shop is being delivered. Hey, Josh Welch. Your delivery driver has arrived. Hey, your Dasher has picked up your order. Jason is approaching. Thanks for ordering. Please take this poll.
9:45All of this was within a 15-minute period. It's texting terrorism. And I didn't consent to this. That makes me so happy. I want to go in and amend every other account that I have to get you kind of CC'd on this. So if you're tucked away in Manhattan and I'm down here in the throes of Oklahoma, I want you to be in the midst of some important meeting and get some ding ding on your phone that is nonstop about me ordering some cheeseburger or some taco. And that would just bring my heart the biggest amount of joy and love that I think I could possibly ever receive. All right. All right. Welcome to I've Had It, America's Top DEI podcast.
10:27Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Kylie, how are you? I am good. Happy Thanksgiving. Let me ask you this. Did you get a light out there? Do you have a light? No, this is me raw. That's glow? Yeah, this is just my natural glow. You look good. I actually did a face mask last night. It looks good. Big Thanksgiving Day plans, Kylie. Let's hear about it. I have to go to Memphis, Tennessee. Ouch. Yeah, so we're going to go from red state to red state to celebrate Thanksgiving. Well, that's a straight shot down I-40, so enjoy. Go eat turkey. Thank you so much. Have fun with the fam. Thank you. I've got some reviews for you guys.
11:03Okay, let's see them. This one is five stars titled Hope as a Blue Dot in a Red State. And they write, I'm a first gen American born citizen who happens to be a blue dot in a red state. This podcast has restored a bit of hope that I and people who look like me are not alone. It's a breath of fresh air, and I'm so glad to have found it. Please continue being the voice for those of us who feel voiceless. That is so nice. That is just so good that one thing that has happened since we started the podcast is we're building a community where people can feel camaraderie and safety and support. I think that's one of the main threads that I see consistently when I see people that recognize you and want to come up and talk to you is that they feel like their voice is finally being heard on the Internet and that there's someone that feels the same way they do about a lot of these important issues and that you're vocal about that.
11:57And that's that's exactly why I think you do this podcast is for people like that to feel a sense of hope and community with other people that are like minded. Yeah. Kylie. Okay, the next one is five stars titled Refreshing. And Louisiana Liberal writes, Man, how awesome and refreshing is it to hear a couple of southern or southwestern white women speaking the truth and not sugarcoating anything? You ladies are giving these maggots and the maggocrats their comeuppance and a taste of their own medicine, which they can't stand. Anything that gets their hidden panties all wadded up is music to my ears.
12:34Keep up the great work, ladies. It's true that MAGA people in general, they love to criticize and, you know, troll everybody. And the minute you put a mirror up in their face or you troll them back, it is meltdown, titty baby city. These guys are snowflakes of the highest order. You call out any hypocrisy about their white nationalist dream and the way they vote that that they actually like to watch athletes that happen to be black or eat in a Mexican restaurant. You call them out for that and they act like they are under attack. It's just pathetic. And I'm sure that there's little people everywhere that when they see those clips, they just get this big grin on their face saying, yes, somebody's saying these things that we feel.
13:24And it sort of gives them a sense of hope. I think it's important because what we're all experiencing is like this mass abuse by a narcissist and then his sycophants. And it feels so isolating and overwhelming at times. And then you can see like now we know that MAGA, America First movement, is built on a bot farm based in Nigeria and Russia, that it's all bullshit. But you can feel like, oh, my God, they're taking over. And then you realize, no, there's a lot more of us. we just have a lot more to do in our lives. Like liberals in particular, we don't just sit on the internet and troll all day.
14:04And so you either have a bot that does that or the real full blown cultists, like their whole identity is like the Trump assassination photo. Right. And I think it's interesting. I saw yesterday Marjorie Taylor Greene, you know, she's resigning after sort of being in the throes of MAGA hell for a week or two. And I heard this other commenter say, basically, I've been in the throes of MAGA hell for years. So you're getting one week of it and you're deciding to dip out. I go, welcome to the real world. Exactly. Which is where you all live day in and day out. So kudos to you all for fading the heat and bringing the truth.
14:42Yes. Thank you. And I noticed that as soon as Fox starts browbeating us all the time, Kylie, I think you can attest to this. We get like docs with a bunch of one star reviews. So do me a favor, listener and viewer. If you have not reviewed our podcast, go and flood it with five stars. We're probably only four star podcast, to be quite honest. But I think you can go ahead and do a five for the country. Right, Kylie? Go ahead and throw in my name if it's anything to do with this episode or me in general. Talk about the compression socks. The compression socks and the panties. It's too bad we don't have a wide shot today because he does have on a really cute pair of blue jeans.
15:20We save the wide shot. It's a wide shot, but not one that peekaboo is under the table. This episode of I've Had It is brought to you by Booking.com.

18:53Support the show by mentioning us at checkout. Terms and conditions apply. Speaking of some of this, I have a news story tailored just for our guest. Okay. It's from Elle, and it says, People who repeatedly post their workouts on social media have narcissistic traits, according to new study. And according to the research, people who post frequently about their workouts display a clear primary motivation to boast about their looks, or at least about the amount of time invested in physical appearance. Okay, this is a prime example of where I've had it blew the whistle two and a half, three years ago.
19:34And now the scientists are doing the research that confirm our findings. A couple of points I want to make here about Josh. Number one, I noticed, well, my, our youngest son noticed, it showed up in the algorithm. Josh has this trainer at the gym who makes these hype videos of Josh working out with an abundance of hashtags. and one of the hashtags that they use, he uses Josh's trainer. And Josh is not like, this isn't a, like a collab post. This is Josh's trainer posting Josh. And it shows up in our algorithms, which I immediately shared in my story and put my husband, the gym influencer when I get to see them.
20:14But in the hashtags, and I think Kylie and some of our Patreon members found this out. He's making this whole claim, like in your fifties, working out, you can look this good. like as good as my baby Josh right but some of the hashtags are hashtag menopause hashtag perimenopause Kylie have you noticed that I haven't seen that yeah hashtag menopause hashtag perimenopause I don't think that I've seen that either the only correction I would make Kylie from that headline is that there's no may in in that before the narcissism like there's absolute narcissism I think that it suggested, but, but, you know, it's this fine balance when you work out or you do something that you're proud of, like you, you sculpt your body like I have, and you've worked hard at doing that.
21:07Um, how much of that do you get to sort of show and not, you know, have too much swag or narcissism? How much can you just say, Hey, I work out a lot. And here's a picture of me working out versus, you know, the flip of that is, Oh God, here's another workout video of Josh? You know, what's the appropriate amount that you can sort of dip your toes into that without looking like a complete narcissist? Let me ask you this. If there was no, no narcissistic exposure risk, and if it were just up to you, would you post your workout every day? I don't think I would every day, but I would maybe once or twice a week, a week, maybe.
21:46Let me ask you this. Would you be flexing your muscles in any of these posts? In the course of working out, I would be, but I wouldn't just be like in flex pose for the picture. Okay. But in the course of doing it, but it's kind of like, because I do it so much, it's kind of like back when I was, when we were raising our kids, you did it every day. So you thought, okay, this is a good idea. Let me put a picture of my kids up, you know, in front of a pumpkin patch for Halloween or whatever it is. And so I guess maybe that's not being completely genuine because this is more about me, not my kids.
22:21But it's a balance that I'm trying to find. If you had a choice and you could post outfit of the day and or my workout of the day, which one would you pick? And there's no risk of being called a narcissist or Internet ridicule. Man, that's a tough one. Some good outfits. But that would be a single picture, whereas on the workout, I can post a video of the full body. Of the man in motion. Yeah, man in motion. Listen up, ladies. Listen up, ladies. Back off. He's all mine. All right? That's a really hard one. Okay. Kylie, what's next? Okay. I've got a disturbing news story coming out of Louisiana, and it says a Louisiana teacher sentenced to 41 years in prison for serving her students cupcakes laced with her husband's sperm.
23:14What in the actual fuck? There's so many questions I have about this. Number one, clearly it was probably the husband's idea. He's probably some sick puppy, right? And then for her to go along with it is insane. But how was this discovered? Well, not just that, but how was the semen preserved to sprinkle on the baked cupcakes? I think she probably baked it in, Josh. Like when she mixed the batter, he's jizzing in the bowl. Oh, simultaneously. Sort of. OK. She's got her she's got her mixer going. Well, that's a lot. And he's over there. Yeah. Kylie, do we have any other details regarding this? I do.
24:01So it says the woman is Cynthia Perkins, a former teacher from Louisiana. She was sentenced to 41 years pleading guilty to a series of disturbing crimes involving her ex-husband, Dennis, a former sheriff's lieutenant. Cynthia admitted to several offenses, including serving her students the bodily fluids. The crimes came to light in 2019 when authorities found extensive evidence on the couple's electronic devices, linking them to numerous acts of abuse and misconduct. So it looks like they found it out through their phones and computers. I would dare to say on a sentence that excessive, that high, 41 years, there's more to that story than just the placement of semen in the cupcakes.
24:44There's got to be. Because as awful as that is, don't know that that warrants 41 years in prison. I'm not trying to discount how bad it is. Right, right. No, no. And we appreciate your legal. No, there has to have been more. Something made them look at the phones and the computer. Right, they're on the phones and they see all this other stuff, and that's what we don't know. But man, I noticed the article said he's serving a hundred year sentence. So that's awful. It has to involve some sort of, you know, probably sex crime or something. I mean, there's some real sick puppies. And here's the thing.
25:16You can never uneat that cupcake. No, you just can't uneat it. We don't know how many students, how many cupcakes, how many cupcakes. That is so vile. Well, that's uplifting. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you're enjoying your stuffing. Listener, if you're enjoying your mashed potatoes and be warning, be warned if your grandmother made cupcakes today. Yeah. If brother-in-law Jeb is handing out the dressing, you might kind of look at it differently this morning. Watch out for that gravy, that giblet, giblet gravy. Ouch. It's disgusting. Okay. One more news story. Okay. 43 % of Americans would leave their partner for$1 million survey fines.
25:59What do you guys think? Oh, wow. You know what? I'm going to say, baby, I wouldn't quit you for$1 million. $10 million, maybe. But$1 million, I don't think so. I would be taking a pay cut.
26:15You're safe with me. How much for you to leave me? Well, that's like the loaded of all questions. I know, but go ahead and answer it. So we can fight all afternoon. $25 million and up. is going to start grabbing my attention to be like, okay, what can I do with that? What do I have here? I'm going to start weighing options. Yeah. I think that's fair. And we've had a great run. Yeah. 25 years together. Maybe make some kind of backdoor deal where I'd give you like half. Yeah. Negotiate it. Yeah. Kylie, is there a dollar amount that could convince you to leave your beautiful girlfriend Anna? I think I would take some money if I could secretively, I'd be like, let me break up with you.
27:01I'll take this 10 million and then we can just secretly meet up, you know, still kind of hang out and we can just live off this money. But no, there's no dollar amount that I'm going to say on this podcast. I mean, I don't know that that would work, Kylie. You think that's against the rules? It would have to be a firm, you know, agreement. Yeah, I think that's against the rules. I think you don't get to have it both ways. You don't get to have your cupcake and your semen too, Kylie. That's right. That's right. You have to, it's one or the other. That's why I put the number at 25 because then I'm starting to weigh.
Read the full transcript
27:30I would support it. I'd be like 25 million. Go have fun. Then I'm starting to weigh what I want to do. But ultimately, I know that I would conclude that I wouldn't do that. But it starts to get my attention around 25. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. You take the 25 million, Josh, right? And then who would you torture with your taco orders? You know? Well, there'd be no prohibition against keeping you on the, I mean, we're not in a relationship. You can still get the updates. You take the$25 million and torture me. And sign you up on every single thing that I'm on to wear your CCs on it. You know what I do do?
28:02I have a confession to make. You know when you go to checkout counters and they ask you for your cell phone? I've been giving yours instead of mine. So that's all the spam I'm getting. Yeah. Because I just felt like it started, I think maybe I was mad at you and I thought I'm going to use his number and now I've just stuck with it.
28:27I'm going to do that when I get the bunk cakes because they're always asking for my number. Are they still wanting you to take a survey for the bunk cake? Yeah, I'm going to get you and I'm going to say, I want every discount that these receipts allow for. So please text me this information. But here's the deal, listener. Josh and I are in a great place in our marriage now because we've had real fucking problems. that we are now leaving each other, you know, using, abusing each other's phone numbers. These are what I would call normal people problems. Right. As opposed to the non-normal problems.
29:01The non-normal problems that we suffered. That's right. That's right. Because of you. Okay. Kylie, any, what do we have today? Callers? We've got some voice memos. Finally. I know. It's been a while. Okay. We're going to start it off with Jess. I don't know if this is how you send voice notes in, but I'm just going to do it anyways. I have fucking had it with Republicans parenting. And I'll give you an example. My distant relative posted a video of their child on Facebook, which already had it with that. Take your fucking kids off Facebook. But in this video, they have a Noah's Ark book and you press a button on the book and the book is read to you.
29:50Well, who is narrating the book? None other than Donald J. fucking Trump. Like this kid, I feel so bad for it. It's all of like maybe, I don't know, one. And why the fuck are you reading your child a fictional zoo boat story with a fucking pedophile narrating it? What the fuck are you doing? I've absolutely had it. It's wild. I mean, the whole Christian merger with Donald Trump is so wild. But for those of us that have lived in the Bible Belt our whole lives, you've always known that the loud Christians, the one that goes to mega churches, that does the hand praise, you always know they're so fucked up.
30:39Like I know the biggest nightmare in my Instagram comment section, if I go and hit profile, it's like husband, Christian, patriot. And the same for a woman. If it's like wifey, Christian, BFF, you know, like, okay, this woman is a fucking catastrophe. She's a goddamn nightmare. And all of the Noah's Ark shit is so stupid. I can't believe people take that literally. But to think that Donald Trump gives a shit about Noah's Ark or gives a shit about you or your kid, it shows you how, what a failure this sect of Christian narcissism is. how clueless these people are. And it's amazing that he's the poster child for the right religious movement.
31:29That's Donald Trump. And one of the reasons I think he's the poster child for that is because he delivered for him. And that's all they care about. They don't give a shit about whether or not he's a Christian or if he practices or his, he delivered for them when they needed him. He's a diabolical motherfucker and he produced. And so they're all in for that. But the fact that just our day to day people that you would think it's normal to have him read a child, children's book, you know, I still every day have to think, God, we reelected this man. How did this happen? Like, I'm still someone in shock of that.
32:05And so then you take it even further. He's reading children's books or he's selling his brand of, You know, I saw that he has his own gun that he's selling recently, like a firearm. It's such a grift. It's just all of it is. And the people are into it. Like they're a part of it. And I just, I don't understand it. I don't know what else to say about it. I sound like a broken record, but I just don't like this lady, this caller. When she's staring, why the fuck is he reading a children's book? I think that shit every single day about some headline I read or something I see as it relates to him. It's like, how?
32:39How did this happen? It's wild. All right, Kylie, who's next? Okay, up next we've got Ginger Vandersnatch. Ooh. Wow. Hi, pumps and associates at law. This is your favorite hyper-locally famous drag queen, Ginger Vandersnatch, and I've had it with hotel literature. Now, when I walk into a hotel room, I want to go into an oasis. I want to go into a beautiful, comfortable place. And instead, recently, I found myself walking in to the Library of fucking Congress. Why does every flat surface in a hotel room now have literature on it? The first thing I do now before I unpack anything is I have to walk around and take every bit of literature off of every flat surface and put it into the drawer with the Bible, which obviously I'm not touching.
33:30I don't know what it is now, but there's a menu for everything. There's a list for everything. There's instructions for everything. I'm so sorry. But if you cannot realize that to get room service, you need to click the button on the phone that says room service. Maybe you should be hungry. That's it. That's my habit. Love you all. Josh. Well, I agree with Ginger. Ginger Vander Snatch. Yeah, Ginger Vander Snatch. I agree with Ginger. And it seems to be a little bit outdated that hotels would still have a Bible in them. I don't. Some of them have a Book of Mormon. Yeah. Which is wild. Yeah. Like, but yeah, I do think it's crazy.
34:16Like, here's the thing about the Bible. Like, there's been so many other great books written since then. And I feel like, like, a part of this is like the thing with Trumpism. them. Like it makes perfect sense that the people who want to make America great again, they read a 2000 plus year old book every day. They form social groups where they have a Bible study. They are stuck back in this patriarchal time period. So of course they're thinking backwards instead of forwards. And it's just this iron age book that to me has just been overblown so much and it's wrought with contradictions. Now, the Jesus Christ character, he's really kind of a great guy.
35:06He's this radical socialist. He's dark skinned. He hates rich people. He sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders, the atheist Jew. So it's just mystifying to me that so many people that I know that are big Bible study type people are just such pieces of shit. Like if I've ever met somebody like, oh, yeah, I just went to Bible study. And that's a red flag. I'm like, OK. And why are, you know, Ginger needs to look at some of these hotels that she's staying at and maybe vet. I don't know that I've seen a Bible in any place that we've stayed at recently. So that could be kind of a red flag. Some of these places may maybe look at some other spots.
35:49Yeah, I think that, Ginger, when you're booking, you need to email and say, do you provide Bibles in your rooms and see how they answer? Don't make it a leading question. Yeah. So it's important to me that you don't. Right. Listener, the hot book of the summer. Oops, I have it the wrong way. Take two. Listener, the hot book of the summer is now the cool book of the fall. It is, in Trump's America, I can tell you with absolute certainty, the best book that has ever been written. And believe me, a lot of people are talking about it. Everybody's talking about it. Everybody's talking about it. It took us one day to write it.
36:35Because we're... On day one. Because we took a cognitive test and it was book, write, done. All right. Anyway, please buy our book. It's a great way to support us. It is a really fun read for the fall. Curl up with your pumpkin spice lattes and just enjoy living the American dream and dipshit trumps America.

All right, Kylie, who's next? Okay, up next we've got Sam.
38:31Hey, Jen and Pums. Love the pod. I have fucking had it with MAGA Republicans that live in blue states, that get all the benefits and perks of blue state policies, and they don't even realize that they're benefiting from them. Like, for example, my MAGA father works for the state of Massachusetts and gets all the benefits of living in a blue state and working for the state. For example, me and my siblings all got amazing health care growing up. My dad's health care through the state paid for all of our braces for all of our vision free glasses like we got hooked up with blue state health care we you know he makes a pretty good salary for an entry level job and the state pays us and then he goes around complaining about you know liberal policies and blue state policies and high taxes and all this bullshit it's like dude that's literally the only reason why you could live and support your family with no college degree so i've fucking had it.
39:33I've had enough. It makes me want to be like, go fucking move to Alabama and go see how much you like the red state policies and go see how MAGA you are that with your job in your current state, because I guarantee you, you won't fucking like it. That is such a good grievance. And I think about this a lot, like the people in blue states that are flirting with Trumpism that have taken for granted that they have a government that is going to protect them, a local government that's going to fight for their safety, that's going to value health care, a woman's right to choose, et cetera. If you were to come live in a red state like Oklahoma, Oklahoma is ranked 43rd or 44th, okay?
40:20And here's what happens to the red state MAGA. they start buying into the bullshit. They get so indoctrinated that Kevin Stitt, the governor of our state, he's a real prick, but he's a polite prick. He's more polite than Trump is, but that's more insidious to me. At least Trump, you know, he's a dick and you know, he's going to do dickish things. Kevin Stitt is a dick, but he, he, uh, wraps it in. I'm going to do everything for the Lord and blah, blah, blah. Oklahoma's ranked 44. That's a bottom 10 state. The whole time he's been governor, he says to the public, we're a top 10 state. We have so much more freedom, blah, blah.
41:00These are the book banners. These are the Kevin Stitt book banner, anti-woman. So if you have, if you get raped and you're 13, 14 years old, Kevin Stitt thinks it's his business and all the other pink arm, dorky, hypocritical Christian state legislators. What happens to your daughter, the rape victim who's a teenager? They think she has to carry that rapist baby. And so it is a real fool's errand for people in blue states to flirt with this style of Christian nationalism, because in Massachusetts, you don't understand evangelical, white evangelical Christians. They are mean. They are patriarchal.
41:42They are anti-woman. They are anti-gay. They are anti-poor. They are anti-healthcare. They are anti-helping anybody for anything. The whole thing is this prosperity gospel where they all go to these mega churches, where these churches, the pastors have private planes. They've got bank accounts that can choke a bull. And they've indoctrinated these people into thinking they live in this great space while they're suffering, while they can't afford health care, while they can't afford child care while the governor lies to them and says, oh, we're a top 10 state. It's like you're not even fucking close.
42:17You're a bottom feeder state. Right. It's interesting. These two states, one went all Democratic, every county. Oklahoma went all Republican, 77 counties. What I don't understand here is the fact that Republicans have been in charge here in all aspects of government for the past 10, 15 years. And so if you're looking around, whether it's in rural Oklahoma or Oklahoma City or Tulsa, and you don't like the way something is, if you've got a real bitch or complain about whether it's the economy, whether it's education, whether it's the criminal justice system, whatever it is, if you don't like it, guess what?
42:56Your government has controlled all aspects of this. There's no boogeyman here. There's no Democrat that's affecting policy at all at any level in the state of Oklahoma. And so blame the fucking people that you voted for. Blame the Republicans. If they're going to get the office, they've got a responsibility to do the job. If they don't, then accept ownership. And the voters need to accept the fact that it's their leaders that have caused any sort of discomfort in their life. There's no one else to blame. It is. In these red states, these MAGA supermajorities, they have had Republican supermajorities for two decades.
43:34They have lied. They have lied to the voters. They have lied to the electorate and told them trickle down economics work. We need to support these business owners because they're job creators. Look at these people on food stamps. They're so lazy. Meanwhile, the people on food stamps, the majority of them work 40 hours a week for these corporations like Walmart. And Walmart doesn't pay them a livable wage. But Josh is 100 percent spot on. The people to blame in these red states for your problems are Republicans. And it's wild that they blame Joe Biden or, you know, some Democratic policy. When you look at the bottom 10 states, they're all MAGA super majority states.
44:17All of them. And there's no one else to blame. I mean, it's all of their policies that have caused this. And so if you're, you know, in Hugo or Broken Bow or Ida Bell and you're dead broke, who do you think is to blame for that? The governor, the House of Representatives, the Senate, all of that's controlled. Supreme Court, state Supreme Court. State Supreme Court. All of it is Republican controlled. Every bit of it. Democrats aren't affecting any policy. Nothing. In the state of Oklahoma. So, I mean, just think about it rationally. Well, think about it like this. We did have a Democratic governor in like 2011.
44:52His name was Brad Henry. We were ranked 17th in education when we had a Democrat that could help fund education. Since then, listeners, blue state listeners, we have dropped under Republican rule, Republican supermajorities, we're 50th in education right now, 50th. In a lot of parts of rural Oklahoma, they cannot fund the kids to go to school Monday through Friday. So they cut the classes to four day school weeks, which leaves if you're a working class parents in rural Oklahoma, small town Oklahoma, what do you do with your kids on Friday? A lot of these poor kids factor in getting breakfast and lunch at school, which, by the way, our big Jesus Christ supporting governor, Kevin Stitt, turned away federal funds to feed kids when Joe Biden was president.
45:42That's how Christian he is. And think about it like this. This indoctrination, this Republican propaganda, these Republican lies are so powerful that the same people whose kids now only go to school Monday through Thursday and they have this deficit on Friday. What am I going to do with my kid while I go to school? The state isn't going to help feed them. They, you know, I'm on snap or whatever. Trump won these counties by whopping double digits, 30, 40, 50 percent. It's but here's the deal. The Democrats have abandoned a 50 state strategy. They have abandoned Oklahoma. They haven't gone in and they need to run multiple election cycles in these red states to have progressives champion for them a working class economic populist message and tell them how much they've been lied to.
46:35And they might lose the first couple of rounds, but eventually it will start getting traction. But the Democrats abandoning all of these swaths of America has just been absolutely devastating and has grown this cult, this cult that gets people to vote against their own interest, their own religion, the tenants of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is against the accumulation of wealth, about helping the poor, about helping the sick. And they're all kind of like, fuck you, we like this, you know, mega church pastor, gay, that gives blowjobs, kinks. The hypocrisy in all of it is just pretty breathtaking.
47:10And, you know, we used to joke about this quite a bit. But if any of the Christians that we knew, if any of them just in any way remotely resembled the character of Jesus Christ, I think we would love those people quite a bit. Yeah. But they don't. They set this thing up as the thing that they worship, and then none of them emulate it. None of them strive to be that thing. And so it's just a really weird dichotomy. And then you pick Trump to be the leader of that sect. And he's probably the worst person in the world that you could think of that would be a devout Christian. I don't know. But the whole thing is just sort of mind-blowing.
47:51Yeah. All right, Kylie, let's do one more for our Thanksgiving episode. Okay, we will end it with Darren. Hi, Pumps. Hi, Jennifer. Hi, Kylie, the magic lesbian. This is Darren from Jersey, the gay Jersey boy. I just want to say I have fucking had it. I work for the United States Postal Service, and I've had it when you put in a letter in a mailbox when it says current resident, and they tell me that their name is not current resident. I actually had to have a sticker made explaining what current resident means. I just had it with stupid people who just don't know the common sense of what a word means.
48:41Wow. Current resident. Yeah, that's interesting. And I agree. I think we get a lot of mail at our house that is addressed to the current resident, which I'm not sure who else it would be addressed to. Because if you're getting it at the house, and obviously it's for the person that lives there. Right. So I share in his frustration. Yeah. And I just I really want to give a shout out to all the post office, because that's something that might end up being a casualty in this Trump administration. You know, they want to go after the post office because of mail in ballots and all of these things. And, you know, postal workers, I'm always so happy when I see the postman.
49:24And they hustle. And they're out there and it's raining, snow, sleet or shine. The U.S. Postal Service. We see them every day and give them a shout out. Yeah, I really I really I really like Postman and I really particularly like gay Postman. So shout out to you, the magic gay Postman from New Jersey. All right. Listen up, listener. Pumps will be back soon. Buy our book. Life is a Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches. please make sure you comment in the comment section of this episode. Let's keep Pantygate alive. All right. Let's keep Josh's ensemble choices. And tell us what you think about compression socks.
50:08Should he wear them and say, fuck it? Or just. Yeah, feel free to give us some feedback in the comments on the YouTube page that are not related to me wearing short shorts and compression socks. It's been a pleasure to guest host. I wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving. Kylie, safe travels to Memphis. Everybody enjoy your family. Try not to fucking kill each other. When you're sitting down to eat, we'll do the same. All right. We'll see you next Tuesday and Thursday.
50:36I'll tell you what I've had it with. Let's hear it. I've had it with that. Listen up, patriots, gaytriots, and natriots. We have a new podcast that has dropped. It's called iHip News. It's Monday through Friday, every day, 15 to 20 minute hot takes on the political landscape of the United States of America, always served with a side of petty grievances. We are on all the available platforms, Apple, Spotify, Google, whatever you get your podcast and YouTube.
