Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:02Angie Sullivan:So are we supposed to start the podcast? Ready? One, two, three. Patriots, gaytriots, theytriots, blacktriots, browntriots, and all of the triple trumpers and just pedophile protectors can do what, Pumps? Fuck off! Welcome to I've Had It.
0:22Jennifer Welch:Pumps, what have you had it with? what I've had it with is people's narcissism. This happened. This is a true story. So I run into a girl at a restaurant that I guess I had been at the same wedding at. I don't remember, but I guess I had seen her there. And she comes up to me and she starts talking about, did I, what did I think of the dress that she had on at that wedding? It was like almost a year ago. number one I don't remember seeing her number two I don't remember what I wore to that wedding why the fuck would I remember what she wore to the wedding and she just kept like describing it and insisting it on talking about what she wore and what I thought of it and I just thought I can't I have to go I cannot sit here and entertain a conversation about what you wore I didn't even remember seeing the person at the wedding, much less what she wore.
1:22Jennifer Welch:It's unbelievable just the daily narcissism that you see. I mean, you see it in the administration, but just normal people's narcissism, it's just off the chain.
1:34Angie Sullivan:Let me ask you this. Okay. How long did you stand and talk to her about the dress?
1:39Jennifer Welch:Well, I immediately go, I'm so sorry. I just don't remember. So then she starts describing it.
1:47Angie Sullivan:and I was like, I want a little context here. So she comes up to you. Hi, I haven't seen you since the wedding. And you're like, Oh yeah. Hi, nice to see you. And then she said, I didn't remember seeing her at the wedding.
1:56Jennifer Welch:What do you think about my dress? No. Then she said, you know, the dress that I wore to that wedding. I think that you would look really good in that. I was just like, what are you talking about? She was trying to sell it to you. I didn't think that, but maybe she would. I just think she wanted to talk about, here's what I think. I think she looked in the mirror before she went to that wedding and was like, you're killing it. You are A plus. Nobody looks better than you. And then got to the wedding and she didn't get what she wanted. Clearly she didn't get it from me because nine months later, she wants to get it for me.
2:39Jennifer Welch:But I was just like, first of all, I don't know what you wore. I don't remember seeing you. Why do people think that other people are thinking about them all the time? It's fascinating. Was this the wedding we went to together in Arkansas? No, no, it was a different wedding this May. And I was seriously, I didn't remember her name. I didn't remember I'd seen her at the wedding. I certainly didn't remember. You didn't even know this person? Apparently I do. But I don't know how. Because I texted my friend. And I was like, Who is this person? And then she, she like, led me through because I thought it was another person, you know, I don't pay attention.
3:22Jennifer Welch:So there was a different person. But I just walked away from that conversation. And I would say the whole thing, the whole interaction, last lasted less than one minute, because I immediately I'm like, Oh my gosh, I have to go to the bathroom. That's growth.
3:35Angie Sullivan:That is growth. See, that's the kind of energy I need for you to have when we go out together. On an Irish exit.
3:42Jennifer Welch:Yeah.
3:42Angie Sullivan:Yeah. That's that's growth that you were able to. Oh, my God, I need to go to the bathroom and get away from that. That's weird. People are weird. It was so weird. So it's just that's a really weird conversation. And the sad thing is, even though it was only a minute, you'll never get that minute back. No. And even sadder, all of our listeners are never going to get these three minutes talking about it back.
4:06Jennifer Welch:No, I'm taking everybody down.
4:08Angie Sullivan:Everybody's going down with this dress. Yeah. But no, I think it's a very relatable story where people, you found yourself in a situation where somebody is talking about something that's uber important to them and you have no idea what they're talking about or no idea who the person is. Oh, I want to, Fox did a digital feature of me. This is a paragraph that is hilarious that I want to read to you guys. Okay, so this is a paragraph from the Fox News digital hit piece on me, which I thought this was beautiful journalism. Welch has claimed Charlie Kirk, quote, justified his own assassination with staunch support for the Second Amendment, accused his widow, Erica Kirk, of being a, quote, opportunistic grifter, referred to white Americans as crusty white people, said Trump supporters shouldn't be allowed to eat in Mexican restaurants, referred to White House senior advisor Stephen Miller as a Nazi Jew, and called Trump a teeny weeny mushroom cock piece of shit, among many other profane insults.
5:11Angie Sullivan:And what I have to say to this is I triple, quadruple, infinitely doubled on. I thought that was beautiful journalism. Yeah. coming out of Fox News Digital to quote me so beautifully and to think that like those are all insults to me that like oh my god can you believe she said that it's like my message is resonating it is and pumps it really over arcs with your message of teeny weeny because that made it in there. And I do think Charlie Kirk, he justified his own death, as sad as it is. He did. He fought for Second Amendment right and said, we have to have arbitrary killings in order for people to have guns.
5:54Interestingly about Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point,
6:00Angie Sullivan:his financial benefactor, died of COVID. So two of the things that Turning Point really advocated for guns, everybody needs guns, nobody get a vaccine, nobody wear a mask, killed them. They were killed by what they advocated for.
6:17Jennifer Welch:You know, what's interesting to me is Charlie Kirk said that on his podcast about guns, people are going to have to die, but it's worth it as long as we get to keep our guns. And the second minute, I mean, he said it, but when you repeat it back to people, that's when they're offended. I mean, when you put the mirror up to those views, They're fine with him saying it. They're all fucking in. But when you say this is what he said, when you quote it, that's when they get mad. It's like the whole mirror situation. All right, Kylie, what do you have for us today? I've got a couple reviews for you.
6:53Jennifer Welch:We'll start with a five star titled My Favorite Baddies. And Natalia writes, I'm a blue dot in a red state run by Mr. Kitten Heels. And this podcast continues to give me life. We need more baddies standing up against fascist MAGA freaks and the misinformation they spread. Love it. Love it. Love it. Baddies. You know, Kitten Heels just kind of fell off the national radar. I mean, he thought he was going to beat 2024's big splash. He just wore those Kitten Heels out and just went. I have a theory on this.
7:27Angie Sullivan:I think establishment Republicans that are going to plot a comeback after MAGA, and so they've just played dead during all of this. And then they're going to come out and they're going to be like, we've got to bring back the party of Reagan. We've got to bring back decorum. And it's like Nikki Haley's going to do it. Kitten Hill is going to do it. Marco Rubio is going to have the biggest, most diabolical rebrand imaginable. He's going to say, I always knew Trump was Hitler. But I agreed to be Secretary of State to put up a guardrail. It is going to be the most nauseating, hypocritical, rebrand bullshit seance with a Ouija board resurrecting Reagan and all this decorum.
8:10Angie Sullivan:It is going to be the worst shit we've ever seen. And we will cover it voraciously on IHIP News. Yeah.
8:20Jennifer Welch:And I just read an article about Nikki Haley that she said, you know, we've got to talk about affordability. The White House isn't talking about affordability and doing all this. And I just thought, here she is. She's coming back. Here she comes. Well, and here's the thing.
8:34Angie Sullivan:Like, the Democrats need to immediately have a response, a rapid response group to that and go, Nikki Haley channels Zoran Mamdani. Nikki Haley supports Zoran Mamdani. Immediately, do not let them take what Zoran did. And on the shoulders of Bernie Sanders, I mean, to give credit where credit is due. And now they're racing in as fake populists and the Democrats need to appropriately, appropriately, appropriately identify the lie that so many racist Republicans believe so that they can vote for racist shit that Republicans are good with the economy. We just vote for business, for fiscal conservatives.
9:17Angie Sullivan:We're all about fiscal conservatism because Republicans are, we just vote. My husband's in business. He's an entrepreneur. Shut the fuck. up. Your husband's a racist, pink arm, piece of shit, and you know it, and you have to fuck him. The best thing you can do to fuck him would be to go vote for a Democrat.
9:39Angie Sullivan:You now have had it. I'm ready. I'm ready for the Republican resurrection. I'm locked and loaded. I wish the establishment Democrats were, but they're too similar with them to be. you know what i predict we need we need to start proactively beating up kitten hills that that note is a reminder we need to start proactively beating him up and proactively bra beating nikki haley because it is it is coming the trump cleanup is coming yeah you know what sometimes i
10:11Jennifer Welch:think about and i like here's my prediction they're going to be every person that we know as a triple Trumper in our lives is going to try to revisit or rewrite history. And it's going to be like, you know, 10 years from now, 15 years from now, you're not going to be able to find more than like a million people out of the 77 million that will admit it. That's my prediction. Yeah, they did a study on this at Nazi Germany, where a journalist went back, I can't remember
10:42Angie Sullivan:the time span, but it was, you know, a decade or something later and he couldn't find any Germans that said they supported Hitler. And of course, statistically there was. Right. But nobody would admit it. And here's the thing. Some people are already starting to do this shit right now. There's already the triple Trump regret. And it's like, I'm so sorry. You tripled. You tripled. You tripled down. Like there's no excuse for anybody. Not one person that saw what happened on January 6th and then voted for him the third time. There's just, you can't say you love democracy and you love law and order and you're, you know, like pro-economy and all this shit.
11:23Angie Sullivan:When you saw what he did with the economy last time, you're a moron. And I'm sorry you regret your vote, but I can't, it's not even that deep. You're a moron. You fell for propaganda. You're not a critical thinker and you got duped. And I'm sorry, it sucks. It sucks for you, but you need to go to therapy like everybody else has had to. Like everybody else. Everybody else had to go. I had to go. It wasn't fine.
11:50Jennifer Welch:I still go.

Okay, I've got some listener voice memos. Excellent. This first one is from Laura. Hi, ladies. I've got a quick habit for you all today. I know you were trying to get some less political ones. I've had it with survey abuse. You guys talk a lot about email and phone call abuse, and I'm here to say that we've got way too many surveys going on out there.
14:33Jennifer Welch:I get that, like, you want me to leave a product review, that's fine, but if you're an automated robot that fixed my company's website, I don't need to leave a review for that. I also need to leave a review if I just placed an order at an iPad for your restaurant. I don't want to leave a review about that. That's not the worst one, though. That's not what pissed me off so bad I had to call you. What pissed me off was that a couple of weeks ago, I got pulled over by a cop for doing an illegal U-turn. Fair enough. It was illegal. I knew that going in. But he pulls me over, lets me off with a warning, and as he's handing me back my driver's license, he also hands me a little business card with his name and a little QR code, and he says, hey, if you don't mind, as if he hasn't wasted my time already, if you don't mind, the police department would really like you to fill out a survey about your experience with me today because we're trying to improve our reputation are you fucking kidding me that's the problem with the american policing system right now is that we don't have enough five star reviews y 'all know george floyd didn't die that long ago right like i still remember that shit also i'm not gonna leave a survey for getting pulled over how good of a job can you do pulling me over and letting me off with a warning for a u-turn where nobody got hurt i mean for fuck's sake i just had it with the surveys
15:54Angie Sullivan:i completely agree with her i got a survey from a pap smear you know like i yes i want to go to the obgyn for my annual exam pap smear not enjoyable not fun when it's done you don't want to think about it until the very next year three days later lo and behold how was your experience at the women's hospital today and i just want to be like it was miserable. I hated every aspect of it. Don't hate the employees, but the experience of getting a pap smear is not enjoyable in the least. You don't want to be reminded of it. You don't want to take a survey about it. You want to completely forget about it.
16:30Angie Sullivan:Same thing with mammograms. I get these surveys. How was your experience at the radiology clinic? It felt like I was in a car wash and somebody rolled down the window and then they took the window and stuck my tit in it and just kept pushing the window up and up and up and my kit just kept getting smushed that's how the experience was it's not one star it's negative 500 stars but i'm trying to prevent cancer why do we have to talk about this why do we have to survey about it it's so annoying
17:01Jennifer Welch:100 right have you ever heard of i mean i would think that inherently the police department would know every single one of their surveys was going to be a zero star review right why would i've never heard of that and then i think grift did they give her the warning so that she would give them a five-star review like oh probably and let me just tell you this i mean not to try to one-up laura and jennifer i just had at &t come out all this shit with my internet they had to reinstall it whatever i'm sitting here at this very computer jennifer kyle can verify my doorbell rings it was an in-person how did it go which i thought was the weirdest fucking thing on the planet Like, why are you coming to my house in the middle of the day to ask me about how my service was?
17:52Jennifer Welch:Nobody wants to talk about the service after the service is over. But you do love a survey. I love a political survey. I will go all in on the political surveys and I get them all the time. Democrats, Republicans, I get them from everywhere. And I'm just going to tell you this. This is as true as it can get. Every single survey that I get from the Trump camp, first of all, the questions are like, you believe that pedophiles should be in jail? Yes or no? You know, it's that kind of questioning that you always have to agree with whatever. So, of course, I always say no, whatever. At the end, to make your survey count with MAGA, you have to donate money.
18:39Jennifer Welch:You have to donate money if you want your voice to be heard.

18:43Angie Sullivan:Yeah, I, you know, it's, it's amazing. I, I, I, in my upcoming book, I talk about the, uh, authoritarian religions and the grift nature of them. When I was always invited to go to French churches, when they were trying to save me, because I was the non-religious friend. And I was always struck by the tithing. I was always struck by the blackmail of it, the threats, the emotional threats of it. You know, God wants you to give your money. And I always thought, God, this is really like not even kind of trying to hoodwink them. Like it's just the tithing aspects of it were so gross. And so when they get this stuff from Trump, they're so primed because their pastors and their churches have been doing this to them their whole life.
19:28Angie Sullivan:It's a very familiar thing having these figures of authority that you think are helpful to you when really all they're doing is fleecing you. And so this type of abuse is so familiar with the MAGA base because their pastors and their churches have been doing this to them for decades. And I'll say this once and I'll say it again to anybody who is a listener, who is religious. Fine. That's great. If you go to a church and your church's goal is to expand and open up more churches, it's not a church. It's a business and you're getting scammed. It is a scam business. There is no reason for a church to have 10, 20, 30 locations.
20:08Angie Sullivan:And these churches that do that have billions of dollars in the bank, private planes, tax free and political agendas. Yeah.
20:17Jennifer Welch:And I can confirm all of that. Like you said, you went into a church and it just was like, ooh, the tithing thing. That was just how it went. like i never even questioned it growing up it because it was just baked in so i think you're
20:33Angie Sullivan:right yeah it's it's a it's like a uh the con is so obvious but it's it's like you know god will favor you if you tithe and you would think that a church would be like if your family is suffering now and you need money for child care and you need money for food by all means do not tithe we do not need the money, but it's the opposite. It's like, they like, you need to tie the most when your money is the tightest. Cause that's when God is going to reward you. It's the craziest shit I've ever heard. It's the same shit that Trump does. But I mean, to a non-believer, non-indoctrinated person, it's so obvious that it's a scam and their snake oil salesman, but yet these mega churches are still flourishing.
21:18Angie Sullivan:And I think what we're experiencing right now in the electorate is the, megachurch boom of the 80s, that generation is now voting. And they're all MAGA. All of them. Yeah. The megachurch boom. It was. Remember the megachurch boom? That's when all my peers were trying to drag me off to get me saved. You tried to get me to go to your fucking megachurch. I'll never forget.
21:42Jennifer Welch:I just hadn't thought about the boom being in the 80s and now I'm going over my head and you're, yeah, that's exactly what it was.
21:51Angie Sullivan:All right, listener, I'm sure a lot of you have nonstick pans. And what you don't realize about that is you're trading real cooking performance for convenience. It can't get hot enough. Food doesn't cook evenly, not to mention the coating scratches and wears out fast. If you have stainless steel, the performance can be great, but cooking starts to feel like work instead of fun. That's why I love Hexclad and it is so different. With Hexclad, you can finally have the performance of stainless steel and the convenience of nonstick in one pan. Its hybrid design gives you the heat distribution of stainless steel, and cleanup is a breeze.
22:26Angie Sullivan:Their patented laser etched steel hexagons give you better searing. The nonstick valleys in between make cooking and cleanup effortless.

23:09Jennifer Welch:Okay, up next we've got Lauren. Hello, it's Lauren. I am a blue dot in crazy ass Florida. I live in one of the last Democratic strongholds in Florida though. I live in Orlando, the theme park capital. I have a little girl. We enjoy going to theme parks and I I have fucking had it with MAGA matching family merch at Disney World. We were there a couple weeks ago. We're enjoying time with our little girl, disassociating, enjoying Mickey Mouse magic. A family of 12 walks by. Kids, grownups in Charlie Kirk Memorial merch at Disney World. What? Why? for what purpose and it's crazy because liberals are the one indoctrinating their kids i have fucking had it i need disney all the theme parks i need them to do something about this it is an eyesore every time we go to the parks it is so upsetting to see like little children in weird maga merch i hate it i've had it i want to disassociate and enjoy the magical time with my little girl and I have to be inundated with the fucking lunacy.
24:32Jennifer Welch:I have had it. I love you guys. You give me sanity in this crazy time, in this crazy swamp land. Thank you so much. You guys rock.
24:44Angie Sullivan:That's wild. I mean, my whole family, 12 deep and Charlie Kirk shit. That is just, that is like, It is such a cold. And I mean, here's the thing. The post-death Charlie Kirk rebrand has really been a flop. You know, they really tried with this funeral to make it this moment. And they went so hard with this nationally televised megachurch, WWE, weird patriotic Nazi-style funeral. It's really weird shit. I mean, the stuff that the speakers were saying, Erica Kirk and Donald Trump weirdly embracing as fireworks were going off. And then you went in the audience, you had all the hand praisers. And this is something interesting in the Bible Belt that people have to understand.
25:37Angie Sullivan:So I know a lot of Christians, obviously, living in the Bible Belt, but there's degrees of Christians. And so there's like the Episcopalians, the Methodists, the Presbyterians. And they would consider themselves the classy Christians. and universally, I always had a lot in common with them, even though I wasn't a Christian, because they hated the evangelicals as much as I did. The evangelicals are the trashiest branch of Christianity imaginable. And there's this church I talk about a lot in Oklahoma City called Life Church and Crossings Christian Church where pumps went. And there are these really gaudy, huge, big, ostentatious, gross churches whose goal is to, you know, produce more and more churches.
26:21Angie Sullivan:And every time they have like it's baptisms, they do full blown like Instagram reels of people getting dunked in the dunk tanks and stuff. And so I always found camaraderie with my friends that were Christian light because the performative nature of these mega church evangelicals and how trashy it is was a unifying cause. And so as Turning Point and the Trump regime puts this trashy, even among Christians, the lowest of the low, the white evangelical megachurchers, they prop them up to the stage. There's been a backfire to that because all the Charlie Kirk shit has kind of dropped from the news cycle.
27:05Angie Sullivan:And also Turning Point's relevance is a total joke because Erica Kirk has just continued this shameless grifting. And I think the religious Americans that aren't crazy Bible thumpers saw that. It was a reminder, oh yeah, we fucking hate these people. These are the con artists. These are the people that hijacked our religion. These are the racist ones. So I think there's been a big backfire about the way they rolled out his post-death rebrand.
27:39Jennifer Welch:Yeah, I hope you're right, because that service, whatever you want to call it, rally, was very familiar to me having grown up around that. But it was so offensive, but there was a certain sect of the population that was all in on it. They thought, yes, sir, re, my mother included, no doubt.
28:01Angie Sullivan:Yeah, but I don't think they baked into the majority of Americans. They're not familiar with that, with the cult sect of Christianity where they do the hand raising and the pastor has the headset. You know, all that just cheesy. Yeah, it's so gross. It's so cheesy. And it's such a part of the MAGA religious culture. Absolutely. The polywrit of it all. well kylie didn't your pastor wear the headset microphone yeah he's got like the britney spears
28:35Jennifer Welch:microphone i remember i remember tape on with nude tape yeah i remember the moment we were kind of early in the megachurch and he wasn't super rich yet you know you watched that growth i remember watching him get ripped tanned and get a stylist skinny jeans on nice new outfit every time like i saw it happening. Yeah. Started looking better. Probably started having an affair. You know, they say when you lose a bunch of weight and you start going to the gym, it's, you know, you can always kind of pinpoint that to the affair. So probably, you probably don't know, but that's probably happening too, if I'm guessing.
29:14Angie Sullivan:I love that I'm just starting a rumor about a big mega church pastor right here on I've Had It. He fucks around on his wife. I mean, I don't know if that's true or not, but I'm going with it.
29:23Jennifer Welch:I'm just telling you, 25 years in divorces. Statistically. Both spouses. When you have a spouse that all of a sudden is going to the gym all the time, getting super ripped, buying new clothes, looking good. Like the other spouse will sit in your office and say, that's when I should have known. That's when it happened. Because all of a sudden, all the shit that they never thought was important became important.
29:48Angie Sullivan:I can't argue with that, Pops. I think that is some rock solid reasoning. And I think megachurch pastors are disproportionately cheating on their spouses per your evidence that you just submitted. Yeah. Yeah. That's how it is. Okay.
30:03Jennifer Welch:The last one is from Dee.
30:05Angie Sullivan:Hey, Jen. Hey, Pumps. Hey, Kylie girl. My name is Dee, a fellow listener from California.
30:12Jennifer Welch:And let's get into what I've had it with. I've had it with desperate pick me racist. It's look at me, look at me. Wait, no. look at me i'm a racist look look look no look you're not looking enough i'm a racist it's the most annoying thing in the world i like to call it instagram racist because they always want likes and views for racism it's like girl what you want a fucking cookie because you're a racist like we've had it we've all had it it's the most obnoxious thing in the world i've had it i hate it so much i hate it so much and it's so shocking because as a young woman to see so many of my fellow peers be pick me racist i'm like okay we get it what do you want a racist cookie because we don't we have nothing else we're trying to get through everything that you and your little fellow races have put us through we get it you are the most vile human being on the planet earth
31:02Angie Sullivan:we got it i hate it it's so annoying i've had it i've freaking had it and for moving forward at this point it's fuck them and fuck their lineage because what does an eagle say pumps fuck off Thank you. I just want to say, Dee, I hear your fatigue of that. And it just pains me so much that racism is so allowed and been so allowed. And so many people don't call out racists in this country. And now they're being rewarded. Racism is being rewarded and amplified in this administration. And I hear your fatigue and just, you know, black people have been on the front lines of the fight for equality in this country so much more than white people.
31:54Angie Sullivan:It's not even close. And all we can do now is try to build legitimate allies that branch over for decades if we can save this country. And I just think we need to bring back cancel culture and the pick me racist need to be canceled.
32:12Jennifer Welch:Here's the thing. The racists have always been there, but they have been so emboldened with this administration and the people in it. And I am hopeful and optimistic that cancel culture will come back after this because that shit's on the Internet forever. the people that are so proud to be racist at some point history will not be kind to them I hope their neighbors won't be kind to them but I really believe that there's going to be the pendulum swing back I'm hopeful anyway all right guys thank you for tuning in thanks for
32:51Angie Sullivan:all the calls if you want to call in it's not technically a phone call here's what you have to do. You have to go to Instagram and open up the DMs and you'll see a little microphone and you send a voice memo to at I've had it podcast on Instagram. And Kylie and Seth will mine all of these. And hopefully you can get featured again, go to Instagram at I've had it podcast and send a voice memo. That's all we have. We'll see you next Tuesday and Thursday.
