Starting point is 00:00:00 So we're supposed to start the podcast. Ready? One, two, three. Something amazing is happening. Listener. All right. There's our eagle. I'm sorry, Jared.
Starting point is 00:00:16 Jared Fried is here in Oklahoma City because I think you might love us. I do. We love you. I came here. I love you guys. I came here to woo you guys, to court you guys. You flew. Bring you back to New York. I flew here early to be in your midst, in your aura.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Yeah, I wanna have it in person. I was telling you before we started, one thing I appreciate about you is the attention to detail that you give to your grievances. I am a professional complainer, I'm a ranter. I mean, I do this every day of my life. I just, and my joy, the thing is,
Starting point is 00:00:55 I love a complaint that is frivolous. I love a complaint that is like a nothing. Like I love when someone goes, calm down, it's just the elevator. And I'm like, calm down about the elevator, this is the only thing that matters to me. Like this is, I can't believe you're not as enraged as I am.
Starting point is 00:01:14 And nothing is worse than a calm down. Relax, calm down, easy, whoa, who cares? I was just joking. Yeah, I care about everything that doesn't matter. I have the problems of the problemless. And it's like a very beautiful place to be. I think everyone should hope to be where I am in life. I agree. That's right. No problems, but every problem in the world.
Starting point is 00:01:38 So you're from Boston. Yeah. You lived in New York City the last 15 years. Yeah. Is coming to a place like this, is it somewhat exotic for you? You know, I've talked about this before. It's National Geographic. I feel like I have come to a far off distant universe
Starting point is 00:01:55 and I am just a fly on the wall watching. And I'll never forget, the moment I felt this was when I went to a, last time I was here, I went to where they go line dancing. What's it called? Where? Oh, where? Cowboys? That was like, that was as if I was watching like a tribe, like watching a tribe doing tribal dances.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Like I've never seen, and all the men looked like the type that would bully a man for dancing. Right, but they're- Like all the men dancing like the type that would bully a man for dancing. Like all the men dancing looked like they would bully a guy who liked show tunes and dancing to show tunes. And their dancing with the big belt buckles and the tucked-in shirts, they're dressed like their mom was like, tuck in your shirt.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Like they look ridiculous to me. And also like tough. And the jeans are skin tight. They look ridiculous to me. They look also like tough. And the jeans are skin tight. They're like jeggings. And it was just very like, it was manly, the way they owned it. But also I couldn't. Was it kind of gay?
Starting point is 00:02:57 It was gay coded. Yeah. But that's why it was so unbelievable to me. And again, you have your assumptions of other people and what their, you know, what their, you know, views are and who they like, who they hate, and you're watching these man's men, like men's men type, and they're just like, and one and two and three and four and five and six
Starting point is 00:03:20 and shimmy yo gal, and you're like, this is crazy. And they got the hats on. And I was like, if I put on a cowboy hat and a plaid shirt and tucked it into my jeans that were skin tight and cowboy boots, I'd be like, it's Halloween. Right, I wouldn't feel comfortable. No, I would feel like a fraud.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And that's not, I don't think they're frauds. No, not at all. I would be like, my friends would be fraud. Yeah. And that's not, I don't think they're frauds. No, not at all. I would be like, my friends would be like, who are you trying to fool here? It's just, so I do come here and I do have this moment of like wide-eyed, like, wow. And I kind of like, I appreciate, I like that. Like I, that's why I'm, what I'm saying before is like,
Starting point is 00:04:01 I think losing regional things is like a bad thing. Okay, I want to get to your list of grievances. Listener. Do people send this many usually? No, they're not. I was wondering. Gold standard. Okay, because I have a lot and I've been adding to my list. Last night I texted Jared and I said, hey, have you left for Oklahoma City yet? He said no. And he said, what do I need to do to prep? And I said, text me a list of your grievances. and he said, what do I need to do to prep? And I said, text me a list of your grievances.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Five minutes later, I get like a book, published book. And so let's just go through each and every single one of them. Let's first talk about restaurant reviewers. I don't like, well, this is a very specific complaint. Right now, TikTok is like all restaurant reviewers and like they're like bringing you into this, it takes no personality, there's very little fun in them. They're just kind of explaining what the restaurant is.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Right now, the corner room is like a big hot place in New York and it's like, cause Taylor Swift went there. And it's like, kind of like high end TGI Fridays is what the food looks like. Like they have like a pig in a blanket. No, what do they have? No, they have pizza bites. They got Totino's pizza rolls.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Okay, they have the pizza rolls and fine. I'm gonna like a pizza roll anywhere I get it from. Whether it's from my freezer and it's been there a hundred years. I'm gonna like a high-end pizza roll too. Like if a chef was like, you know, when a chef looks at something and goes, I can do that, but I can do the chef's version.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Right. Yeah, of course that's gonna be delicious. But these reviewers never tell you what their financial situation is. Like it's always young people, mostly women who live in New York who are like the co- and they have no, their voice always young people, mostly women who live in New York, who are like the co... And they have no... Their voice never changes modulation. Just goes, the corner room in New York City
Starting point is 00:05:51 has the most fire pizza rolls that you've ever had. And you're like, okay, who's paying the bills? Like, I need to know, because how good something tastes when you go to a restaurant is directly related to how easy it is for you to pay your bills. Like if you are struggling month to month for rent and you decide to take your one night out to have an $18 pizza roll, it better make you cum your pants. Because... Because... And if you're getting your rent paid for by, you know, Daddy Warbucks in Connecticut,
Starting point is 00:06:31 and you don't worry about rent, it's pretty easy to say that Totino's Pizza Roll is fire and slaps. So, like, I need, at the front of every review, who's paying the bills, how much you pay in rent, is there a credit card that's shared between you and a parent? at the front of every review, who's paying the bills, how much you pay in rent, is there a credit card that's shared between you and a parent?
Starting point is 00:06:48 Because I don't need, because what happens is we all forget. Now it comes, two years later, this person has a million followers, they're making 100 grand a month, and they got Patreon subscribers, and they're like, please use my promo code. Well, let me know,
Starting point is 00:07:06 you know, where the promo code came from. Like I need to know, like, is a promo code, dad pay for everything? Right. Like I just need to know where this all started. Here's what I want. Tick talkers to start doing. And I'm going to piggyback on your idea. I want one of these tick tock gals, restaurant reviewers, to start the video with. I've been on a 10 day cocaine vendor, and I decided to get off, and after 12 hours, I was starving because I hadn't eaten in 12 days.
Starting point is 00:07:36 So I went and I had these pizza rolls. They were so orgasmic. They were so fantastic. I ate so many, I'm certain I gained two to three pounds, so I think I'm gonna graduate to meth. That's what we need. And I paid for it with the rolled up 100 in my pocket. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Like it. There we go. That's what we need. Like, subscribe, review. I want the train wreck version of the internet. Well that's the thing, there's no honesty. You're seeing everything through a keyhole. That's the problem with the internet,
Starting point is 00:08:03 and we all know that. It's not an interesting take to be. That's the problem with the internet. And we all know that. Like, it's not like a, it's not an interesting take to be like, we're only seeing the good. But it's like- We do, but Gen Z, a lot of Gen Zers don't know that. You know who the worst people are? These, the couples comedy on TikTok. The husband and wife, where the wife's like dancing
Starting point is 00:08:22 on a table, she's like, I'm crazy. And then the husband's like, look at, she's crazy again. And then we're all supposed to like, it's all just like, it's all I love Lucy. It's the most, it is the most hack garbage comedy I have ever seen and it all has millions of views. So like I, again, I'm making people mad because they're like, but I love seeing Laura get on the table.
Starting point is 00:08:49 She's always dancing. He's a good husband like Jet and Pookie. Fuck off. Oh my God. Fuck off. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I mean, Jordana Abraham, who's my co-host for the U.S. podcast, this is she has brought me to the light. She was like, it's objectifying. She was like immediately, she's like, she's an object. And this is Jordana's take. And I'm like, it's totally right. For me, I look at Jet and it's like, that's not, that is infuriating to me because it reduces men to,
Starting point is 00:09:18 to partners, male partners as, you know, either tell me I'm wonderful or say nothing at all. Have no opinion other than I am a gorgeous queen goddess. And you see these women in the con and the comments like, see, I just want to find a guy who can talk to me like this. It's like, yeah, no one talks to people. I'll tell you ladies, you can find a man exactly like that at your local gay bar. I have been friends with gay men since I was 18 years old.
Starting point is 00:09:47 They are effusive, they are complimentary, and I'm just saying I have- Pookie lookin' fine. Nah. Wearing her bodega. Like, how does he know all these brands? I'm just saying I have really good gaydar. I'm just saying I have excellent gaydar,
Starting point is 00:10:04 and I also- I would never accuse him- I I'm just saying I have excellent gaydar. And I also, I want to say, because I know every listener thinks this when they see Pookie and Jet. I always look at that. And I think she's got to fuck him tonight. Right. That's what she has to do. I just don't understand.
Starting point is 00:10:18 The dirty talk must be like crazy. Pookie, those titties looking sad or not. Pookie suck on my balls. Pookie put down. What's the purse that she has? She's always got a new what's it there? Burp. Pookie, let me come in your Birkin bag.
Starting point is 00:10:46 They're just such not real people. I just want to see Poki. There's no toilet paper. I want to see them do some weird shit. Poki, shit on my chest. I just want one real video from them. I agree. One real video.
Starting point is 00:11:09 They named the kid Paloma. Oh, did they already have the baby? Yeah, apparently. Paloma, like, I'm gonna have a pookie, let's name it after a daiquiri. This is what's so disturbing to me about this content. Yeah. We are a nation that is becoming void of culture.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Well, I'm sorry to interrupt, I agree with you. I think things are so horrific to us, we're so scared of the world, that these people, this unreality is kind of like, you know, is a brain, it's like making our brain ooze. Like we want it to escape us. Like I see. I see Pookie and Jet in the same box
Starting point is 00:11:51 that I see Stanley cups. These are not interesting things. Right, right, right. These are not something that you spend hours tending to and cultivating like we do our grievances. Sure. These are not thought provoking things. One thing is just a fucking cup.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Right. And two people these other two people It's total Performative bullshit and their real lives look nothing like that. Their conversations look nothing like that. And so you want to find your tribe It's like, you know diet coke I wrote down people who think diet coke's their personality like that's another tribalism thing. Yeah, we know Diet Coke has existed for 40 years at this point. There's no hot take in I like Diet Coke. But people are like, oh, but have you had the fountain soda
Starting point is 00:12:38 at the movie theaters? That's elite. And it's like, yeah, I've had that too. It's pretty okay. I like it. Are we done with this conversation? We have nothing else to talk about. It's boring. Is that all you got? Like anytime someone says, do you like Fountain, Diet Coke? I want to look at them and go, do you talk to your parents ever? Do you have friends? Do you have friends? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Does anything interesting ever happen to you? Listener, this may come as a total shock to you, but Pumps and I have not always been this pulled together and rock solid. In fact, we used to be rather screwed up when you say Pumps. I would say damn near psychotic. Totally.
Starting point is 00:13:17 And we have written a cell phone expose. One could even say it's a manifesto. And the book title is Life is a Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches. In all sincerity, we share a lot of our struggles that led us to this grand stage where we can talk about petty grievances. You can click the link below in the show notes to pre-order your copy now.

Why don't you tell us about the Carlton Hotel and can. So I knew I like adding some grievances that I know you guys
Starting point is 00:16:41 will know. Yeah, that no one else the unrelatable grievance. Have you been to the Carlton and can I have? Yes, I know you guys will know? Yeah. That no one else... the unrelatable grievance... Have you been to the Carlton in Cannes? I have. Yes, I knew you have. I knew... I've not. I knew one of you was gonna be at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes. I'm the asshole that's been there. Okay, this is the most beautiful hotel I have...
Starting point is 00:16:57 one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever seen. It is in Cannes, in Saufra, south of France. It is... Saufra? I was like, what? Okay. I was in Saufra, south of France. It is... Saufra. I was like, what? Okay. I was in Saufra for what we did. I went on a vacation there alone, which to any straight man listening, which all three of you,
Starting point is 00:17:14 just don't go to Europe alone. That's my advice to you. Really? I would think it'd be a great hookup spot. No, for women. Women go to Europe because they can meet a guy who was, you know, they have predators there too. Right, but they also have cute, you know, foreign speaking men.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Well, I went when I was young too. Foreign speaking men who want, you know, wanting to fuck a woman is international. There's no, you know, there's no borders to that. Hang on, before we go- Being disgusted by American men is also borderless. Before we get to the door. The door that Carlton can't.
Starting point is 00:17:48 I just wanna share with you and the listener that when Pumps was, how old were you, 20? When I went? Yeah. 22. Doesn't matter. 22. 22 years old. She had a two to three day tryst.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I did. In the South of France! With a Frenchman. Sofra. In Sofra. And his name was Roy. And he didn't speak English, I did in the South of France with a Frenchman so in the South and so for all And his name was Roy and he didn't speak English except all He could sing every lyric in English to all air supply songs. I love I love this This is like a character out of a movie, right? So how did you so you just go like you point at a hotel like well? No, I was staying there and he lived there
Starting point is 00:18:22 like you point at a hotel, like, come fuck? Well, no, I was staying there and he lived there. So he had an apartment. I think it's been so long now, but I think I met him like on the beach and I thought he was cute. He thought I was cute, drunk, drunk, drunk, go back to his hotel room, fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck for like two or three days.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And then it was like, bye. And then I, you know, and then you look back and you think, we never actually had a conversation because he only knew English to air supply songs. So what's an air supply song? I'm trying to think like- Lost in love. Are you too young for that?
Starting point is 00:18:59 No, I would know an air supply song. Lost in love, I'm so lost without you. Yeah, it's like a ballad. I'm all out of love. I'm so lost without you. Yeah, it's like a ballad. I'm all out of love. I'm so lost without you. So that's playing throughout the whole two day tryst. Yeah. I'll repeat.
Starting point is 00:19:12 It was a romantic, French, you know, sex me, dine me. All he had to say, I'm so lost without you, you're like, bring me to the hotel room. Yeah, he was really cute though. Of course. I don't even know if he had to say that. But yeah, it was like that. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Do you think he ever, do you think he has any relation to this podcast? Like you're out there. Fuck no. This is international, no? No, I'm sure he forgot. Roy. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Roy, if you're out there. Roy, if you're out there. If you're all out of love. And so lost without pumps. I'm ready. She's here ready to come again. Okay, good. Can you, but this is the thing like with like, She's here ready to come again. Okay. Can you but this is the thing like with like, you know, I kind of envy your generation because
Starting point is 00:19:52 this this idea that you could go to Europe, you go fuck for a couple of days. There's just no it's goodbye. There's no follow up. No, no, no paper. No cell phones. Right. You have a hit podcast, you become this big thing. There's no Roy up, no cell phones. Right. You have a hit podcast. You become this big thing.
Starting point is 00:20:06 There's no Roy being like story time. Right. I fucked pumps. And she didn't even ask me any questions. Can you believe it? I didn't even speak English. She didn't care. You hit it and quit it. I hit it and quit it.
Starting point is 00:20:19 We had the luxury of hitting it and quitting it. Right. There's no quitting it. No strings. Now it's hit it and follow on Instagram and watch every story and you know, pop in every now and again with a fire emoji. That's right. That's what it is. A drunk text.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Yeah. The drunk text. Now that is a huge problem. Drunk text. I'm OK about it. I'm not that bad, but I get them. And I think anyone who takes a drunk text like anything but like laughing at a toddler, like that's them at their most toddler form.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yeah. Reaching out, good for them. They had a fun night. Like if I, when I see, are you out tonight at 3 a.m.? I'm like, good for that person. Yeah. They had a nice night. Good, and like when I wake up to it at 7 a.m.,
Starting point is 00:21:01 I'm just like, thank God I'm me. Good for them for being them. Like I'm just so no harm, no foul. All right, let's get back to the door. So I'm at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes, and we're there for Spotify with the Cannes Lions Festival, which is this big marketing festival. And every hotel and every beach club is taken over
Starting point is 00:21:21 by like Metta, Spotify, LinkedIn. It's basically like a, you know, a liberal's wet dream. You know, just every- Giant circle jerk. Right, giant circle jerk. And we get brought in to do a one hour panel and that's it for Spotify, to talk about podcasts and ads and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:21:40 So, which is a great fun time. We're at the nicest hotel, and the door, the circular door, what is it called? Revolving. The revolving door is like not pushable. Like it would take three people to push the revolving door. And the whole week, we're sitting, I'm watching people pushing this revolving door.
Starting point is 00:22:03 You're at the nicest hotel in Cannes. You should see one person have to struggle with that door and it should be like, Bellhop, get over here. Like, how are we dealing? And then everyone's going to the other door. They're trying it once, going out of it, going to the other door. You're in the lap of luxury.
Starting point is 00:22:23 If anything should work, it's the door. Or there should be a door guy standing there being like, not this way, everyone this way. Someone, I just don't like, when you have a high end, high end experience, and then we're just stepping over this one thing every day, there should be be accountability here. This is where I'm gonna push back a little bit.
Starting point is 00:22:49 I appreciate this in the French. I appreciate the like, fuck you, our door's broken. You lazy ass, go to the other one, problem solved. And I agree, I know you're gonna say it's the highest end. I agree with all of those things, but in the United States, everything's fixed, primed. You know, suck the dick of the capitalist, go, go, go, go, go.
Starting point is 00:23:09 The French are like, eh, we'll get around to fixing it when we want to. I think that's the worst type of human being is the French. You do? Awful. Because they take your money, and then they act like money doesn't exist. You can't live in both worlds.
Starting point is 00:23:22 You can't live in a world where we charge $1,200 a night for a hotel room and, oh, we're going to make this about money? That is the French attitude. It's the same as like, what are you so angry about? Well, I'm angry that I'm spending a month of rent to spend a night at your hotel. I can't open the fucking door. Seven minutes of the night is spent wrestling with your door. That's, that was a $5 door experience.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I do think of money. That's the thing, this is my, my problem with most things is this under, expectation versus reality. I think that's where every frivolous grievance comes from. You expect a certain thing, and then you get this thing that is under expectation. This is the same, again, it's the food reviewer.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I expect to be told by someone who knows their food where I should go based on a rating system that relates to money in some way or another, that lives in the real world. And then it ends up living in a fake, you know, fancy pants world of like, oh, wait, will people pay rent? People have mortgages, people have children,
Starting point is 00:24:43 diapers cost money, you know. Okay, how are you still single? I hate that question. That's why we asked it. Question in the world. People ask, it's always married people. Because they want you to admit that you wish you had what they had.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Which, what they have is pretty awful from my vantage point. What they have seems pretty boring and not that fun to me. But they wanna make sure that you admit, they're basically, they're turning you into their relationship cuck. You know, they want you to grovel and say,
Starting point is 00:25:25 oh, I just, I don't know what I could do. Because there's no good way to answer it. Like, let's say I answer positively. How are you still single? Well, no, I like my life. I like it a lot. I like being single. Now it's undefensive.
Starting point is 00:25:35 No one believes that. Or I go negative. Now I go sad town. Well, I guess maybe I just, I'm afraid of going to the next step and I should probably talk to a therapist about this and you know, I just don't know if I could love in the way I really wanna love.
Starting point is 00:25:52 You know, like that's not a conversation anyone really wants to have. So then how are you still single? I could go like incel, like it's these women, you know? Like there's no good option other than like, please set me up with someone, please give me what you have. And it's like, I don't want what they have. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:12 You know what this conversation tells me? No one asks me why I'm still single. Uh-oh. So that's a huge red flag. No one's complimenting you. Everyone knows. No one thinks it's a mystery is what that tells me. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:26:25 This reminds me. Okay, so we were in New York. Yeah. And we did the New York Comedy Festival. Yeah. And then we do a VIP meet and greet. Sure. And there were these women came and they said,
Starting point is 00:26:35 hey, Pumps, I just want you to know this man asked me to give you this note, but we pre-read it to make sure it was okay. And it's actually pretty sweet. and he has the hots for you. So they pass the note to Pumps. We do the VIP meet and greet and then we go outside and there's like 25 people waiting for us outside the venue.
Starting point is 00:26:55 The show ended like an hour before so we were kind of shocked at that. We're like, oh my God. Right. People are waiting on us. Paparazzi. The guy who wrote the note didn't trust that the ladies, cause they were like, what do you mean
Starting point is 00:27:07 give this note to pumps? We're gonna pre-read this and like, we're gonna vet it. So he went to a restaurant and got a sack, a paper sack, and he re- A paper sack. A brown paper sack. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And he re-wrote the love letter for pumps. And I have to say, it was kind of funny. It was really funny. Can you hold it on the air? No. Why not? It's at home. Why wouldn't you read it? It's that I have to say it was kind of funny. It was really funny. Did you write it on the air? No. Why not? It's at home. Why wouldn't you read it?
Starting point is 00:27:27 It said, you need to bring it. It says, I'm a thousandaire. It was really clever. With a million red flags, which I love red flags. He was 56. Yeah, 56. Who was he at the show with? I think that's the big.
Starting point is 00:27:41 No one, I don't know. Came alone. It appeared he came. Okay, serial killer vibes. And I didn't know it't know. Came alone. It appeared he came- Okay, serial killer vibes. And I didn't know it was him. Came alone. I never met him because we were passing through the people.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I didn't know it was him that gave the- He gave me the paper set. Right. And said, will you please give this to Pugs? Right. I also gave her another note. I said, oh, did you give it to those two ladies? He said, yes.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I said, oh yeah, they pre-read it. The note is cute. The note's really cute. As someone with a dating podcast that talks about dating now for over a decade in the modern age, this is kind of what people want. The in real life, especially what women want a lot of times, a man making a decision, pursuing, deciding on them,
Starting point is 00:28:21 not being vague. This guy... It's a tangible note. Right. And his number was on it. It is interesting the thin line between people want and when it gets creepy. Because one note, this is beautiful, this is great.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Now the next move has to be we text, we make a plan. The minute you go to the second note, now that is what someone does who has captured your child. Well, no. You know, like, I want a million dollars. In his defense, he said, I rewrote the note because those ladies were kind of iffy if they were going to actually give it to her.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Right. And he was looking for safety as far as, I want to make sure this is okay that I approach you. I didn't get a creepy vibe. So have we gone out? Did you text? No, I don't know if you texted. No, I have too many issues to ever respond to that.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Like I could be. Why? What's the other option? Let's talk about your issues. Yeah. Oh, I just have so many issues, Jared. Well, your issue is that you're not taking the bait here. I mean, it's okay to not like it.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I'm not saying you don't like it. Dating in general, I have huge intimacy issues that keep me from... What are you looking for in a partner? Do you even want a partner? I don't really want a partner. I'm really selfish. I'm not a huge prize. Well, your confidence is an issue right now. You just said, I'm really selfish, I'm not a huge prize.
Starting point is 00:29:46 No, those are two different sides. Like, I wouldn't want to give up my nightly routine with my dog. Yeah, but there might be people who, if you found a partner that was like, you go to your house, I go to my house, but we like each other otherwise. See, that would be perfect.
Starting point is 00:29:57 An out of state, like once every month. This seems to be that, that guy could be the solution. I mean, maybe could live in New York. Yeah, I mean, New York is a good place to visit. You could meet him like. I mean, maybe he could live in New York. Yeah, I mean, New York is a good place to visit. You could meet him like Roy, once, two days. Yeah, tons of fucking. Two days sex facts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:11 He's the midlife Roy. Yeah, but I think he speaks English. My problem is talking. MLR. I don't like to talk a lot. What's to talk about? You just think, bang it out. I'm all out of love. I'm so lost without you.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I just wanna fuck whenever you come to the city every now and again pumps, we just wanna fuck. Just blow me and leave. Don't forget about Pookie's Birkin. Pookie's Birkin will be full of jets come, full of jets come. Pookie's Birkin is full of it all day, all night. Pookie looking fine. Pookie that vagina's looking fine,
Starting point is 00:31:03 even after you gave birth to Paloma Pookie they stitched you up right downstairs Like what is ever an asshole I Bet he's a huge I don't hope he's an asshole. I hope they have like a normal life. I hope they have a very non-problematic, but there's just more than meets the eye. You know why we know this? Because we have been whistleblowing on this
Starting point is 00:31:33 for two years. Whenever you see a performative couple, it is a red flag. Behind that performance is a multitude, an onslaught of fucking fucked up shit. I know, because I've been in relationships. I lived with someone for a multitude, an onslaught of fucking fucked up shit. I know, because I've been in relationships, I lived with someone for a minute, and I was just so annoying to them.
Starting point is 00:31:54 And I would just, I enjoyed that. I did enjoy annoying. You liked it, she didn't. I mean, I think that I would hope that some of it was cute to her. In the beginning it probably was Maybe, yeah, it was like and that's what my dad does to my mom is just constant like messing with her Yeah, my husband does this to me
Starting point is 00:32:11 The idea that like someone would you know, again you go to like a gala you go to an event you look beautiful tonight You look amazing to set up a camera and go Boogie looks fine. I was like, get out of here, loser. I just think that that guy doesn't have friends. All of my friends would be like,
Starting point is 00:32:32 what are you doing with your wife on video? Right, that's fucked up. And then once they start making money, people, they'd be like, what, you make what from that? And then they would go, oh, it's for the money. But there's a beginning period hump to get over where my friends would be like, what? Wait, why do you just compliment her
Starting point is 00:32:51 and then people watch and think you're a good guy? I'll tell you what bothers me about them more than anything on the planet. It's not Paloma. Before they got pregnant. Oh, I mean, I've been here since the beginning. They have a French bulldog. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:06 I worry a lot about that French bulldog in the same way that I worried about former vice presidents Pence's pet rabbit. Okay. When I hear that people like this- I didn't know he had a pet rabbit, that's crazy. Yeah, he moved it into the vice president's house. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Pet rabbit. Popping around. When I hear about people like this, having pets, and in Pookie and Jet's case, I saw the video with the pet. I worry about the safety and well-being and emotional growth for that pet. They have a French bulldog, we have French bulldogs. French bulldogs are needy, they require a lot of attention,
Starting point is 00:33:43 they're very emotional creatures. You think all the attention is going towards Pookie and not enough. I think Pookie and Jet are bad pet owners. That's what I'm here to say. Wow, it's an accusation. You heard it here first. Yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I really, I think that they are bad pet owners. Yeah, he's gotta watch all that weird sex they're having. Exactly. All that Birkin bag fucking. I'm here to advocate for the French bulldog that is a victim of Pookie and Jet's unbridled narcissism and God only knows all the sex that you describe. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:11 The creepy Birkin sex. Here's a YouTube exclusive. You need to interview the Frenchie and then I'll dress up as the Frenchie. Yes. And then it'll be me with a cigarette being like, I don't know. Pookie is fine. She doesn't say much. Jet, I mean this guy, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Pookie is fine, she doesn't say much. Jet, I mean this guy, he fucked a Birkenbeck. He put his penis in a Birkenbeck. I don't know what the hell he's doing. I have to watch that every night. They let me sleep on the bed. I don't want to sleep on the bed. I don't wanna sleep on the bed. I'd much rather sleep in the other room. They prefer I sleep on the bed.
Starting point is 00:34:56 One night, Pookie pulled me aside and was like, what do you think of Jett? And I was like, can I tell you the truth? I think it's a little weird that he only complements you and gives you no, I could give you a few things that you should improve. I Think you don't dress your age. I think you need to like rain it in a little bit. This guy's never gonna tell you You're gonna think you're great your whole life people are talking about you behind your back. I talked to the other dogs at the dog park Okay, I talked to them. Everyone's talking about you.
Starting point is 00:35:30 He doesn't go down on you at all. He refuses to go down on you. He's that complimentary and he won't go down on you. Hand stuff isn't enough, Pookie. Okay? His wrists are flimsy. I feel how he holds onto the leash. Okay? It's not enough.

Starting point is 00:39:41 Okay, we have to go to Had It or Hit It. You know this game. Okay. Oh my god Welcome to had it or hit it. I would hit it. I hit it every day sometimes twice a day All right had it or hit it recycling had it I think recycling is the dumbest thing in the world No, if recycling was important, wouldn't we have a, wouldn't we just know recycling so well? Wouldn't that be taught to us from such a young age and over the course of years that we would be like,
Starting point is 00:40:18 how is it that I'm 39 and I go to the garbage and I'm like, what the fuck is compost? Yeah, the compost thing. If it was important for us to do, we would know how to do it. In the same way we know how to drive, in the same way we know how to merge on a highway. If it was life or death, which I don't believe it is.
Starting point is 00:40:36 What, you ever watch them take, you think the people at Starbucks are like taking the bags, the separate bags to separate places? No, they're putting it in one bag. And that's the problem I have is we as a country, us citizens are forced to argue amongst ourselves and think someone's a good person or a bad person based on how well they do a recycling.
Starting point is 00:40:57 When this is at the corporate level, this is at the government level, this is not our problem, we can't fix it. Right. And now we are forced to judge one another based off of some family that's making money off of recycling. Like, you know, there's a, you ever meet someone
Starting point is 00:41:12 that like, oh that family made it all in waste management, or they made it all in recycling, and you go, oh so some kid is like going to private school while I'm sitting there going, well the plastic had food in it, and I don't know if I can throw it away now. You know, like, I just think it's all bullshit, and it's made us look, it's become a religion for people,
Starting point is 00:41:34 people think they're good people because they recycle. Let me tell you something wild. Growing up in the 80s, it was common to have a milkshake in the car, and you sipping on it and you had a bench seat, your mom was driving, you could go sit right next to her, you could just slide down the bench seat. You'd just roll down the window when you finished your milkshake and just toss it out.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Check it out! With zero guilt, zero nothing. And then they started this anti-littering campaign. So then we decided we can't just throw shit out the window anymore because I did that all the time and everybody did it. Everybody littered through it. Now they're wanting us to recycle.
Starting point is 00:42:14 And I'm like, I started on this journey, throwing my shit out the window with reckless abandon, zero guilt, like a sociopath, genuinely. And now to try to get me to figure out that recycling is really difficult. reckless, abandoned, zero guilt, like a sociopath. Right. Genuinely. And now to try to get me to figure out that recycling is really difficult. We wonder why anxiety is at an all time high. It's because of stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Right. Like, how about you just give us a big shoot to put everything in, and let's just forget it. We did our best. Like this idea that I'm a good person or a bad person, it's like creating OCD out of nowhere, I gotta like touch the garbage can three times to make sure that I recycled the right way.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Like I, and what you're saying is correct. I was in Austin, Texas. I got in an Uber. I was in the Uber and the woman driver, she's in the front, she chugs a plastic water bottle, she rolls down the window and she hocks it out the window. And I was like, oh my God. And I, you know what I god. And I you know what I
Starting point is 00:43:06 did? And this is weird. And this is this is how diseased I am by the big recycle. I literally was like, I don't know what to do. So I took my seatbelt and I put it on. Like as if that was related to like her throwing out the windows like, well, what will she do next? Right. She might drive on the wrong side of the road at this point if she's willing to throw a bottle. That's how diseased I am by this idea that like,
Starting point is 00:43:34 if you don't throw things away correctly, you must be a crazy person or a bad person. It's just affected me. So I hate recycling. I hate when people tell you to have a reusable bottle. I hate when, you know, and all these reusable bottles are to make someone else money. Like, follow the money.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Like, they're... We are all just getting coaxed into this emotional thing. We're, like, being emotionally taken advantage of. All right, had it or hit it. Wedding, dinner. Had it. I think the dinner at the wedding is the worst part of the wedding. We're like being emotionally taking advantage of. All right, had it or hit it, wedding, dinner. Had it. I think the dinner at the wedding is the worst part of the wedding.
Starting point is 00:44:10 If it were me, how I would change weddings, I'm having pass around hors d'oeuvres the whole night. I like it. Never stops, keeps changing. In the beginning, it's more cocktail hour fare, and then as the night goes on... Slider. Sliders. Pizza roll.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Pizza rolls, and then you start getting into, like, you know, forkfuls of grilled chicken, little, you know, little cups of pasta, and then towards the end, you have dessert pass-arounds. I want the waiters at my wedding to have done 30,000 steps by the end of the night. I agree. I think that's better. You know, that's... I think that is... Yeah. the waiters at my wedding to have done 30,000 steps by the end of the night.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I agree. I think that's better. I think that is, because we sit down for this dinner, it's like weirdly formal, no one wants the food, it's never good. Never good. And no one's ever had, it changes up the whole energy. We have to sit for this.
Starting point is 00:45:01 You're a hostage. Yeah. At least if it's hors d'oeuvres, you have the freedom to go, oh my gosh, I've got to run to the restroom. Right. Even though you don't have to go to the restroom because you want to get the fuck away from Jed. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Who's talking about his sex life at the wedding. Exactly. So you're trying to run away. Telling you how he fucks a Birkin like Jed. That's right. And so that's, I don't like forced group meals and forced group activities. Let everybody be free, especially at a wedding. This also goes into another point where
Starting point is 00:45:29 the feedback's gonna be, but what about grandma and grandpa? We should have an age limit at weddings. I think there should be no grandparents. I think we have to get rid, I think the upper age at weddings, I think 70 and younger, everyone else, if they're over 70, we will have a live feed. We will have it going the whole night. They can watch on Zoom.
Starting point is 00:45:53 We'll set it up in their old folks' home. And they can watch from home. And you know what, by the end of the night, they'll be appreciative. We'll send them like a basket, those influencer packages, we'll send them a basket that when they open it, a little firework goes off. Oh yeah. You know, a picture of the night, they'll be appreciative. We'll send them like a basket, you know, those influencer packages, we'll send them a basket that like when they open it, a little firework goes off. You know, a picture of the couple.
Starting point is 00:46:08 They'll love it. That's a really good point though, because two of my nephews recently got married and it was a big thing, not on my side of the family, but on other people's side of the family. Like, well, what about uncle such and such? And he's like 89 in a wheelchair and the bride and groom were having to make all these plans. Here's the thing that I want
Starting point is 00:46:29 everyone to know. I'm 50, she's significantly older than me. 54. I don't want to go to weddings right now. No I don't either. My desire to go to them when I'm 80-something will be even that much more diminished because the one thing I've learned about getting older is your give-a-fuck meter breaks beyond repair. Just send the check. These old people send the money. That's exactly right. And liberate the elderly.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Don't make them be hostages at a wedding. Right, we're doing them a favor. And at one point we can put up a big screen and we can show them from their bed like Grandpa Joe. Like a big wave. Yeah, they'll do a wave like they're like the soldiers abroad on New Year's. Like, hey, we're here.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And then we go, okay, back to the ball drop. You know, it's like. Okay, had it or hit it, marathoners. I've had it. I don't get it. I don't understand the need to run a marathon. I get, you know, again, what they do to you is they say, well, I'm raising money for this great cause.
Starting point is 00:47:30 And do we need you to run to do that? I don't think we, how about you, you know, and I, listen, it's not the marathon that I don't like. It's the people that go out after the marathon. After the marathon is the worst bar night of the year. Because it's like, you know when they say like New Year's Eve is like amateur's hour. This is amateur's hour from the worst type of human.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Because the person who runs a marathon, they're like an A personality. They're waking up at six a.m., they never go out. They tell you, I can't go, I gotta get up for my run. They've been making you feel bad about going out for a whole year. Right. And then on their big night, where they're wearing a medal
Starting point is 00:48:14 in a tinfoil blanket, they're out looking at everyone at the bar, look, I'm out, look at me, I'm drinking. Yeah, I'll have a shot. I never have a shot. It's this big, like, elitism of like, I never party, but this is the night I party because I just ran 26.2 miles. Like, that's what it took for you to go out. How about you're not a fun person?
Starting point is 00:48:38 How about I regret giving to, yeah, you're a narcissist. I regret giving to your, whatever charity regret giving to your whatever charity you represent. You have now made me hate this charity. Right. The only night you go out is when you're wearing a medal that you didn't even earn. You didn't win. Think of the awful person that the only night they let loose
Starting point is 00:49:02 is when they've run 26.2 miles. I let loose when I get 2,000 steps. Right. The threshold way lower. I walk to the bar, I'm like, wow, I deserve pizza after this. OK, had it or hit it, reality show deniers. I don't like when people hate reality TV. You don't have to watch it.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Right. It's not like going to the bar after the marathon. We have to be in the same bar. I have to be amongst these losers with a metal on. Right. With a reality show, change the channel. Right. You don't have to watch it.
Starting point is 00:49:33 If you don't watch a show, I don't care. I don't watch your shows. And then the big thing is like, it's not real. What is real? What show are you watching? Right. What are you, you just watch the news and that's it There's no place that takes you to a different place. You don't think you think Ted Lasso is real
Starting point is 00:49:54 Reality shows yeah, everything is not real. Everything is a version. I would say a reality shows more real than Breaking Bad At least they're using their real names. Right. You know, like, I just don't understand. And it's like always there in securities. I like The Bachelor. I think The Bachelor's fun. It's got a great arc. Starts with 30 people, then it goes down to one,
Starting point is 00:50:17 and they get engaged. That is a beginning, middle, and end that you don't get a lot in life. Right, right. So let me enjoy that. But what these people do, they go, oh, what is, you know, the men, they all, the men that hate the bachelor, that are insecure, they go, oh, what does you fuck all the women? It's like, yeah, they do it on camera.
Starting point is 00:50:36 It's a big porno on CBS. And then the women that don't like it, they're like, it's just not real. And it's like, sorry, your life is awful. I like it. OK, Jared, thank you like, it's just not real. And it's like, sorry, your life is awful. I like it. Okay, Jared, thank you so much. Thank you guys. Thank you for coming. We'll see you guys next Tuesday or Thursday. I'll tell you what I've had it with. I've had it with that. Listen up, patriots, gay triads and natriots. We have a new podcast that has dropped. It's called IHIP News.
