America’s Next Top Propagandist

0:02Angie Sullivan:So are we supposed to start the podcast? Ready? One, two, three. Patriots, gay triots, they triots, black triots, brown triots, any triots, any member of the Antifa, DEI, anti-Trump community, we love you. And anybody who is a part of the fascist MAGA aligned community can do what, pumps okay pumps did you hear while you were gone josh subbed for you okay he would go

0:39we should i haven't heard it we need to get together and he can do that like it's we can do a threesome and it'd be like i like it get a record out we might even have as many listeners on spotify as cash patel's girlfriend.

0:54Angie Sullivan:I like it. Okay. So I want to know what your grievance is and I'm hoping it's travel related since this is your first, I've had it since you came back from vacation. I have so many travel habits. I've had it. I was hoping. Okay. Number one, I got banned from WhatsApp. So I've had it with WhatsApp, the app. Banned. Banned from WhatsApp. How? Okay. So I haven't used it since November. I use it to communicate with people in foreign countries because that's how you do it over there. So I had gotten a couple texts between November and whenever I left August. And it was like, you need, if you don't use your thing, if you don't use your WhatsApp, it's going to be deactivated.

1:38And I'm like, I don't give a fuck if it's deactivated. I never use it. So I arrive, I immediately reset on WhatsApp and it says, well, we need to review your, you know, your request. So then I get a text from them the next day that says your phone number. And it says my phone number is banned from using WhatsApp. Please contact customer service for assistance. And I'm like, how does one get banned from WhatsApp? So now I am officially banned from WhatsApp. And I'm just like, number one, go fuck yourself. WhatsApp. Like, why am I banned just because I didn't use it for eight months, not deactivated, just banned.

2:19So, I mean, I've never been banned. So I feel like I'm some kind of like interloper in the criminal mind that I'm banned from something which is kind of cool in a lot of ways. I, with you, I know that

2:37Angie Sullivan:a lot of times, because we've been friends for a very, very, very long time, there's got to be more to the story. There's we're missing a component. The listener and I are missing some good details. I don't think you're privy to these details either. I just want to say that from the outset. But I do think we need to launch an investigation. Because this is the kind of stuff if you're not going to date, getting banned from apps is really good content. I applaud you for that. This is as close as I'm going to get. And I even thought like, remember my old email that I for everything like purchases and stuff got hacked.

3:12And I thought, is my phone number now in charge? Like, did I get hacked on my email? They've been using my phone number for some kind of weird fucked up shit. And so you think I should call WhatsApp and ask and just say, why'd I get banned?

3:26Angie Sullivan:Yes, a hundred percent. We need to know. I need for you to record it too. That's a big ask, but I'll try. You can figure it out. I, I, but, or just have, have your daughter record it with her phone next year is on speakerphone. But I think that, uh, there's some interesting tidbits there. I mean, hopefully it's not anticlimactic. Hopefully I like this whole theory that your phone, your email was hacked and that maybe they hacked into your WhatsApp too. Yeah. Maybe. I mean, who knows? I might be a transnational, you know, drug Lord and don't even know it. Exactly. Exactly. And that's exactly what I'm hoping for.

4:05Yeah. Yeah. And in fact, when I was going through Homeland Security on the way back in, I thought, oh God, here we go. If my WhatsApp reported me that I'm, you know, I mean, you just have that crazy theory. And then of course it was fine, but I just was like, what's going on with WhatsApp? And then I'll tell you another thing I've had it with on traveling. And you pointed this out. Okay. Not long ago. Do not, if you're going to be in an airport changing planes, riding in airplanes, which are very confined spaces, the natural deodorant has got to go. It is just, we had a guy behind us on a flight.

4:40Thank goodness it was just from Dallas to Oklahoma City, which is short. He reeked so bad that my daughter and I, our eyes were watering. And I'm just like, how do you not know? And it has to be the natural deodorant thing, which if you want to wear natural deodorant by, you know, when you're home alone or just around your family, suit yourself. I don't care. But when you're in a public space and you stink so badly that people that sitting a whole roll in front of you have tears in their eyes, that's fucking bad. I mean, that's bad. And you think, how do you not know it? But you know, sometimes you don't know when you smell, I guess.

5:22Angie Sullivan:Yeah. I, uh, I have experienced this quite a bit. I remember there was one particular incident that I brought up last summer when I brought this up, I was in Newark and we're standing in line TSA and there was a guy and it was so pungent. It was so overwhelming. And I just thought this is not acceptable. This is where we need to have armpit sniffers. Which I would be Yes. You know, the minute somebody says, do I have BO? I'm the first one that's like, I mean, just get right in their armpits. So I will volunteer. I'll do it. And just be like, you can't board this flight. We've got to have armpit sniffers because it's in that contained space.

6:07Angie Sullivan:All right. Mine is travel related as well. So I'm in Los Angeles right now. And I had to fly here from New York. And there was a couple that were in front of me in the boarding line. And then they sat right in front of me on the airplane. And then they were right next to me at the baggage claim. And this couple, they made their presence known. First of all, he had bright blue hair and she had bright purple hair, which I support. Right. So that in and of itself is like, oh, it's the people with the cool hair. They're probably around 60. So the bright hair with that age was another thing that makes them more noticeable.

6:54Angie Sullivan:And all of that is fine. And all of that is I support. I support every single bit of that. What I don't support regarding this couple is how loud they were. When we were standing in line to board the plane, they spoke to where somebody 20 people back behind in the line could hear. It was performative communication. There's no reason that they were talking at the volume they were speaking unless they wanted all eyes on them. and then we got on the plane and they are sitting one is sitting by the window on this side and one sitting by the window on that side and they are screaming back and forth to each other a lot of the flights i have to put on my earphones and then crank it all the way up and then when we get off i put my earphones up and then he starts looking at her and he goes do you have your passport she says yes he goes do you have your passport yes do you have your passport?

7:54Angie Sullivan:Yes. And she's like, I'm going to kill you. And he's saying it this led to you. Do you have your passport? And he's trying to irritate her. And it just goes on and on and on. And then we get down to baggage claim and they're right next to me. And the performative communication continues. You know how a toddler's really loud because they want everybody to look at them? Right. This is what these people were doing. And I could tell in the baggage carousel, they were very affectionate towards one another i could tell that like him doing do you have the passport do you have the passport and her saying i'm going to kill you that they loved the they love each other and that she loved him kind of needling her so then i went through this thing like are they the asshole or am i the asshole you know like am i just so bad about trump and all of this shit why do i care if they're loud but i kind of do it was really annoying like i I think they could have brought it down a little bit, but then also like, I could tell they really dick each other.

8:54Angie Sullivan:I mean, right. All of the performative communication they were doing, I could genuinely see the chemistry between them and like that they, I don't know if they were like video game designers or something. Cause they were talking about some project they had going on and like, yeah, we'll give, and it sounded like a character. We'll give her an extra. And then, so then, and then I'm like, my, I'm the one that's paying all this attention to them. Right. It's about me having a choice because they were so loud. You couldn't help, but pay any attention to them. But I'm just wondering, like, I guess people can be both annoying and kind of cute and sweet at the same time.

9:28Angie Sullivan:But anyway, long story short, I've had it with people that talk really loudly in public spaces. Crank it, dial it back a little bit. Not everybody needs to hear your conversation. To be fair, Jennifer, I have the thought all the time. Would this bother me if Kamala Harris were president and things were just normal? running the country or am I just ready to be mad at everybody? Which I will tell you, that was one super nice thing about being away. I turned off all my notifications and it was just like the weight of the world lifted off me. And then when I started, you know, getting back into it and reading and all that, I found the same thing.

10:07But in your defense, you have been on my ass about being loud in spaces because I am loud by nature for 20 years. So I think a part of it is people loud in public spaces are obnoxious. I'm obnoxious when I do it. I always welcome the correction because I didn't realize I'm doing it. But yeah, so I don't know. I just think there are certain rules in society everybody needs to conform to. I think when you go to an airport, that is the number one place that you need to conform to the general societal norms. And it seems to be the one place that people cannot do that consistently, like time after time after time.

10:49They just can't conform. And I get like, if you want to be a rebel, I'm all for it. But at the boarding gate, that's not the time. Yeah.

11:01Angie Sullivan:So I think in conclusion to the introduction of this podcast episode, wear deodorant and shut the fuck up at the airport. All right. Welcome to I've Had It. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie. kylie hi hi um i have bad news i actually found out i accidentally bought natural deodorant and i've been using it for like a month and i didn't realize it and i just kept being like i kind of smell at the end of the day yourself i just i kind of smell and then i looked and it looked just like my old deodorant but it said aluminum free so i've been an offender for a month without knowing really did anna say anything that's what i was just gonna ask no she didn't say anything i think she likes me too much to like think i smell that bad you know yeah i don't think that's a possibility i don't think you can like somebody so much like even though you love your kids more than anything you know if they have a shitty diaper like you can smell it well i fixed the problem so did you get real deodorant i got real deodorant um i've got two reviews for you guys today five stars new kink unlocked and michael writes i'm a new listener and trigger warning also a man i've seen you in my algorithm but never actually listened to the pod after binging a few episodes i fear you may have unlocked a new kink in me who knew that quote intelligent women eviscerating maga men would do it for me not in a sexual way i'm no baby Moses Mike Grinder Johnson, but boy, does it scratch an itch.

12:32Angie Sullivan:I love this. I love, I love, there are good straight men out there. There are, and we have to remind each other and we need to elevate those voices as the antidote to these toxic manosphere bullshit men. Um, because there's a lot of them too. Yeah. They seem to be the loudest speaking of loud. And I will say, Jennifer, of all the people on planet earth, in my experience, you're the best at coming up with nicknames like immediately on the fly. Like you don't even know it's happening. It's not preplanned and you say something and it's fucking hilarious. So I'm going to call you the nickname queen of the world.

13:16Thank you.

13:16Angie Sullivan:Thank you. You're the star of the show, but I am the nickname queen. Right. Right. It's a good, it's a good trade-off. All right, listener, what is softer than cashmere and warmer than wool? That is not a riddle. It's an alpaca hoodie. And I had to check it out after hearing some of my favorite podcasters talking about how much she loved her pack a hoodie.

Their best selling hoodie is softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, but it's so, so breathable. Over 250 ,000 people have already picked up the Paka hoodie and that's what makes it even better.

Please support our show and let them know that we sent you. all right who's next okay we've got hb pop changing the world five stars and they write i started listening to ihip around 2024 and have been spreading the ihip agenda ever since it's gotten to a point where my mom is such a fan that i think she has watched more of the episodes than me as we know the important thing is that the fight against fascism is ongoing and we need all voices to yell about these issues as often and as loud as possible i so appreciate what you all do Lastly, some of the candidates you have brought on recently have helped guide my campaign donations.

16:31Whether it's El Sayed or Oliver Larkin, we can defeat MAGA and get these bought and paid for Dems out. Let the fight on her.

16:43Angie Sullivan:Yeah, I think that's excellent. You know, it's as we approach these midterms, it's it's I like probably a lot of you at home are experiencing what I'm about to say. Like, I desperately want progressive candidates that aren't bought and paid for now. And then in those progressive candidates, I'm looking for about an 85 percent agreement rate on 80 to 85 percent because no candidate I'm going to agree with everything on. But then this red state trauma that I have from living in Oklahoma for 50 years and seeing the harm reduction abilities of a corporate Democrat to not give rapists more rights than women.

17:32Angie Sullivan:And I can go on down the list. And so I've kind of, for the midterms, adopted this mindset that I want the most progressive candidate to win. And if that candidate cannot win, then if there's a corporate Democrat in there, I'm just all chips in on them. Right. Because living in a MAGA red state like Oklahoma, and you see that it is ranked 50th for women to live and that the politicians there and a lot of women go out and vote for women that look like pumps in me. They vote for their daughter's rapist to have more rights than their daughter. They vote for guns to have more rights than their elementary school aged children.

18:16And it's just for people that live in these red states that are marginalized, they don't have the luxury of deciding between a corporate DEM or a progressive DEM.

18:31Angie Sullivan:Although I agree with all of the conversations that corporate DEMs have incubated this situation. I agree with that. But I just want our list to be number one, defeat MAGA. Number two, you know, build a huge coalition. And I see on the Democratic side, a lot of, you know, tug of war and fighting going on. And I think some of that's good to an extent, I think disagreement in a party is good. But it's gotten to a point where like people are mad at us because we're not corporate Democrats. And that's fine. You know, I put my we put our names out here all the time. But I don't know, there's just, I wish that we could all unite fascism and defeating them.

19:16Angie Sullivan:That's the number one thing. And then under that, there's a lot of other things. It's I don't know. What do you think, Poms? I completely agree with that. I mean, you can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need in the words of the great Mick Jagger. You know, I just don't, I would love for super progressive, everybody without, if you don't have corporate money automatically went. I'm all in on all that. But I would much rather have a corporate dim than a fascist and somebody who's just going to continue to allow Trump to ruin our country and take us down to the, you know, it's a race to the bottom right now.

19:56And, you know, my, I guess my concern is, I mean, I would always vote for a corporate dim over a Republican, But my concern is, will these corporate Dems have enough fight in them to take back our government? I mean, will they have enough fight? And I hope that they do. And I think some will. I mean, it's not everybody's the same on this. But I just, that's the only thing that worries me. But I'm with you. You have to just do it. You know, it stinks. You got to do it anyway.

20:30Angie Sullivan:And sadly, I think we know the answer to your question, which is a really valid one. They've proven to us that oftentimes they don't have the fight in them, which is why the Democratic approval rating is so low. But nonetheless, this is our fun podcast. So let's quit talking about that. And if you want to hear political podcasts, IHIP News, it's all on the same YouTube channel, but two different podcast feeds if you listen to, unlike Apple, Spotify, etc. They're charted out differently there. But let's go ahead and head into hearing from our listeners via voice memos. Kylie, who's first? Okay.

21:06Angie Sullivan:First, we've got someone very like-minded with you today. His name is Rory. Hi, Jennifer. Hi, Pumps. Hi, Kylie, the magic lesbian. It's Rory here, Canadian gay triad, originally from England, as you can probably tell by the accent. I know you've done a lot on airports. You may have done – I'm not sure if you've done this one specifically. but what I've had it with is seat allocation on aeroplanes. So we were coming back from Rome a few months ago, myself with my soon-to-be husband, and we sat and out allocated seats. We booked a seat, a window, an aisle with the hope that the middle one was free, but if it's taken, then fine.

21:45Planes about to leave, and then at the last minute, some standby people get on. Now, just sit in your seat, but especially if you're standby, sit in your seat. But no, this couple come on and the husband is trying to get the people next to him to move so he can sit next to his wife. That doesn't work. So then he says to me, and I said, well, my husband is like two seats away, but I don't need to sit next to him, but I want to stay on the same row. And then he tries to go in for a second line of argument. And I just look at him. I look down at my phone and let the awkward silence land. So then he finally gets the message and just sits in his allocated seat and his wife sits next to me.

22:21The whole flight, every 15 minutes, he's moving the seat in front of me. and looking back at his wife like she's about to disappear. And then, I'm not making this up, halfway through the flight, he puts his hand and arm through the seats so he can hold her hand during the flight. Really? They can't spend seven hours not sitting next to each other? I've had it with that.

22:47Totally agree. What the fuck is wrong with these people that they have to be? it's so first of all why would you i would be grateful if i got on standby you know what i mean it's like okay we got to see whoo we're going the the i the couples that have to touch all the time have to sit next to each other they have to put their hand through something's fucked up in that marriage one million percent there is something going on behind closed doors that they're both super insecure about it sounds like him more than her and that's my question because that's fucking weird as shit. What's going on behind closed doors that we have to touch each other all the time?

23:25Angie Sullivan:I don't know. Um, I do believe that, uh, airports bring out the worst in people. I also believe that some couples are just naturally a little more affectionate than others. and we have to allow for that space for loving couples. I think you and I have had such bad relationships. My lived experience. We get really triggered by that. And so I don't mind the affection, but the wanting to trade seats at the last minute is such an inconvenience to everybody on the flight. Yeah. And like you want to go from a minute, like he's going to give up his window so we can go sit in the middle? Who would do that?

24:12Nobody.

24:14Angie Sullivan:All right, Kylie, who's next? Okay, up next we've got Jen R. Hey, I have friends. My name is Jen. I'm a blue dot in a red state. And I was just calling because I think it's hysterical that Pete Hegseth wants to give testosterone to the military because this is just idiocracy. at its finest. Like, this is Darwinism, and it makes me laugh, because MAGA is all about, you know, creating families and blah, blah, blah, but guess what? Adding extra testosterone tanks the sperm counts, so, yeah, they're just going to take themselves out of the gene pool anyway when they overdo the testosterone. So let them have it.
