Listen up, patriots, gaitriots, and natriots.
We have a new podcast that has dropped.
It's called IHIP News.
It's Monday through Friday, every day, 15 to 20 minute hot takes on the political landscape
of the United States of America, always served with a side of petty grievances.
We are on all the available platforms, Apple, Spotify, Google, whatever you get, your podcast
and YouTube.
Please go rate, subscribe and review so that we will chart upwards with America's greatest
legal mind pumps.
Pumps, what does an eagle say?
Cacaw.
A little bit more enthusiasm.
Cacaw.
That's it.
That's, that's.
Cacaw.
That's the patriotism that this country needs right there.
So we're supposed to start the podcast. Ready? One, two, three. That was a thunderous clap.
Really was. I mean, you're back. I'm back. You're back in action. You've got the flag.
You've got the eagle.
Caw, caw!
Patriots, Gatriots, and Vatriots, welcome to I've Had It podcast.
I'm Jennifer.
I'm Angie.
She's America's greatest penile shamer, but that's neither here nor there.
Pumps, what have you had it with?
What I've had it with is butt dial on both ends.
When you have your contacts and you're trying to call someone
and you accidentally just barely touch the name
that you don't wanna call and it immediately rings through.
It doesn't even ring on your end
and the person knows you called and then they call you back.
And it's just, ugh, it's exhausting.
And same on the other end.
So I just think Apple, they can do everything,
just make it where it has to connect
before it shows up on Caller ID.
Because I feel like there's a lot of butt dialing going on.
I'm an A, so I'm like first in a lot of people's phones.
So I get random, weird butt dials.
And then just this week, I butt dialed my ex-husband.
It's just, here's the thing.
What happens is before when I've done it to someone, maybe a relative or friend I haven't
talked to that I really need to call, then you butt dial them and they call you back.
And so you're in that position.
Do I take one for the team and act like I called and get full credit for the call?
Or do I just dodge and let it go to voicemail?
So in my life, I have been like, oh, yeah, I was just calling to check in when I'm really
not.
It was really a butt dial.
Okay.
So pump the brakes.
You butt dial somebody, have no desire to talk to them. They call you back
and you lie and say that you just wanted to catch up with them.
I have, yes. I mean, I'm getting better about just not, but I have done that many, many, many,
many, many times. You're like, oh, hey, glad you called me back.
Yeah, great to talk to you.
I was just thinking about you.
See, this is why you're everybody's favorite, because I would never do that.
I would never even dream of doing that.
I would say I just would send the text, but dial as they were calling me back.
But now what I do, if I accidentally butt dial someone,
I immediately proactively before they even see it, because people check their text before they do
their call log, they're going to see a text from me that says, sorry, but dial.
So you're proactive.
I'm fending it off from the jump. There's no need to call me. Don't even respond to this text. You don't
even have to do the thumbs up to it. Like this was not meant to happen. So let's everybody
move on with our lives because I cannot imagine. But dialing somebody that I absolutely don't
want to talk to and then them calling me back and me feigning interest. It's hard in their
lives. It's really, really hard.
When's the last time you did that? That I actually talked to the person?
Yeah, where you lied like a lying liar. Probably six months ago. I mean, not long
enough. So you're newly in recovery from this.
I'm newly in recovery from the co-dependence of just an owning that I butt dialed. Now,
if it's a close friend,
like somebody that I'm in contact with a lot,
then I'll just say butt dial.
Like I have no problem with that.
I butt dialed you the other day and you called me
and you're like, oh my God,
I didn't even see that you called.
And I said, it was a butt dial.
And you said, okay, bye, click.
And we hung up on each other and it was fantastic.
That's what I like about us.
And I didn't feel the need to send you the preemptive butt dial because if you call me
back or didn't call me back, we have to arrive at the studio together to film this podcast
every single day.
So I wasn't worried about it.
But if it's somebody I haven't spoken to in a few years, especially if they're a yakker,
if I got a yak mouth on my hands and I've delivered
a butt dial to them, it is a preemptive butt dial. And I don't even, I won't even put sorry
butt dial. It will just say butt dial, not hope you're doing well. I will not feed that
stray cat for all the tea in China. I just, I cannot do it.
No, I've done that before where it's somebody that like getting on the phone with them is
like you want to just start crying immediately and then you want to start plucking your eyebrows
out and your eyelashes because it's going to be so torturous.
And then you bite, dial them and you're stuck.
And you start feeding that stray cat.
I do.
And I don't want to. And I'm miserable. start feeding that stray cat. I do. I do. And I, I don't want to. And
I'm miserable. You're feeding stray cat. It happens in the minute. I hang up. I'm just
like, Oh, maybe Apple's fixed it. Maybe they won't call back. And then if it's immediate,
I feel like I have to answer. They know I have my phone. You don't use silence and you
put sorry. That was a butt dial. I know.
And then you just move right on down the road.
I know. But you know, I'm better. I'm getting better.
We'll keep an eye on this.
We'll keep an eye on this. But I just, I know it's my fault, but I want to blame the phone.
Yeah. All right. Let me tell you what I've had it with.
Okay. I've had it with my dogs because they beg me for food and these really cute adorable
French bulldogs with that perfectly smushed face and I'm eating a meal at my kitchen island
and it's really delicious and I'm like, God, this food is so good.
And I look down, they're not whimpering, they're not barking, they're just looking up at me
like, hello. hello, mom.
That human food looks so good.
And I'm of the school of thought that it's not fair to them that they only get to eat
when I decide they get to eat and I decide what they eat.
And I think about that a lot, about how dogs are just captive to when we feed them, what we feed them, etc.
So I think, you know, I only have a finite amount of time with these dogs,
so I'm going to go ahead and just share my meal with them because I'm not a cold-hearted person,
contrary to my podcasting personality.
So I prepare this bite for them that I curate.
And I really think I want to put a lot of effort into this bite because that's how much
I love these dogs.
So I make this perfect bite for them.
I spend a lot of time and care to make sure it has the sauce on it or extra cheese or
what have you.
And I go down and I give it to them and put it in their mouth.
They swallow the whole thing whole and then resume right back to the pitiful
begging face. They don't chew it. They don't savor it. They don't enjoy it. There's barely
any lip licking. It's unbelievable. And I think if I'm taking this time to share my
meal with you and I'm making you the most perfect bite, The least thing that you can do, ChaCha and Tubby, is chew it, swallow it,
and lick your lips. Show me that you appreciate this. It's probably the only time that a French
bulldog fails, is the immediate swallowing, no chewing, and then they're right back at it.
And then the whole cycle starts again. Then it's like, do I give them another bite? Do I go through this again? Because they're little faces, they want the bite. So then
you're guilty the whole time you're eating. I mean, as we all know, I've said it before,
I have sat in my car and eaten my food to avoid the stares from the dog because my older
dog is morbidly obese and the vet's on me about it. And so I do give
him people food and I'm really trying not to. So I will sit in my car in my garage like
a nutball.
And eat your food.
And eat my dinner.
So you won't hurt his feelings.
So I don't hurt his feelings. He doesn't chew either. Sometimes if Josh and my schedules aren't synced up, I'll get home from work, exercise,
and then I'll eat my meal by myself.
And then he gets home maybe an hour or two later.
And I hear him in the kitchen fighting with the dogs.
And he's like, he really worries about like, I just feel so bad for them because we decide
everything they do. We decide when they so bad for them because we decide everything
they do. We decide when they go on a walk, we decide when they go to sleep, we determine
everything for them. And we talk about this all the time, Josh and me, about how the dogs
are so beholden to us and what mitigating factors we can introduce into their lives
to make them feel more ownership in their own lives, right? So Josh will prepare bites
for them. And then I hear
him get mad. No, I'm not going to give you anymore. You just swallowed it whole and you
didn't even act like you liked it. Could you at least chew it? And he's like, and he's
like, no, don't even look at me anymore. And I hear it and I'm dying laughing because here
he is trying to like reason with these dogs and their only urge is, that smells good.
I want it in my belly.
And that's the end of it.
So I'm wondering if I'm placing too many expectations
on my dogs.
Because I want to be the best pet owner I can be.
Yeah, I don't think that's too big of an expectation.
Chew your food.
Just chew it.
Just a bite or two.
You don't have to slob it around.
Just a couple mouth, jaw movements.
I really enjoy it when I get a sandwich and a bag of chips, because I'll give the dog
a chip and they're forced to chew it.
That's a much more satisfying bite to share with your canine because you have to watch
them chew it.
You hear the crunching and then they start licking their lips afterwards.
It's far more satisfying than, you know, giving them a piece of your salmon, your steak, or your chicken breast.
Well, and plus, they're looking at you while you do it like, oh my gosh, thanks, I'm getting
this bite. I really like it.
It's more reciprocal.
When they just slurp it down with no bite.
It's selfish.
Yeah, it's selfish. What are you going to do?
I know. All right, let's check in with our producer, Kylie, or as Pumps calls her, Kathy.
Kathy, how's it going?
It's going good.
We actually got a one-star review that I need to read to you.
Oh, excellent.
It's titled, Mee-Maw and then the not equal sign that has like the line through it, Skinny
Legend. legend. And Darby Kay writes, Memaw looks great, but she was a lot funnier before the
Ozempic.
You're tanking our podcast rating with this just unhinged Ozempic free-basing that you're
doing. Wait, am I not? Do you think I'm not as funny?
I'll tell you what, I disagree with Darby. I think you're hitting your stride. I think
the Ozempic has made you funnier.
Thank you.
Yeah, I do.
Cathy, Kylie, what about you?
I think you just get funnier every day.
Okay, good.
Yeah, I mean, just, I mean, the fact that...
Darby just hurt, hit me where it hurts.
The fact that we've been doing this podcast for two years and you've known Kylie for two years,
and just a couple of weeks ago you started calling her Kathy.
Randomly.
At your advanced age. I mean, you got the right letter.
Yeah, and I got the Y at the end.
Yeah, that was, that was bizarre.
What other ratings do we have out there on the World web? This is a five-star and it's titled a master class in sapphic chemistry
For too long the adult film industry has gotten real lesbian romance wrong
Finally
Someone got real lesbian intimacy, right?
I especially love the athletic ones brand of Billie Jean King
nasty woman power top lesbianism. Really gets me going. Thank you ladies for giving us the
sexy lesbian content we've been missing. Waterworld city baby. Oh my. You know what my favorite part
of that review is? Can I guess? She called me an athlete.
I was going to say, be athletic one.
All I heard, the power top, all that, that's just a cherry on top of it that she recognizes.
But the fact that she called me athletic, I mean, I just have to say she nailed it.
It's perfect.
It compared me to Billie Jean King, who is a boss, but is a
power lezzi extraordinaire. But most importantly, a world champion athlete. Right. And that's
that's my peer, according to this reviewer. Right. Darby says Billie Jean King. That wasn't
Darby. Meemaw wasn't Darby was the one who said you weren't funny since you got on this topic.
Kathy, could you please tell us the name of the listener?
See, I've got it named.
It's AARP stuff.
This one is Power Belly Kelly.
Power, it's Kelly.
Kelly.
Kelly.
But you on the same plane.
Yep.
Billie Jean, Jennifer Welch, the athletic one.
That's exactly right.
They're right on the same axis right here. And I just want to remind the listener that it wasn't that many episodes long ago that Pumps was
talking about watching me play pickleball and she compared the stance, the squatting stance that I
get into to that of Serena Williams. I did. So it's Kelly, it's Pumps. It seems like consistently
the data comes back that I'm an athlete.
Tennis icons and you.
That's right. That's right. All right, Kathy, what else do you have for us today?
So sometimes we get emails from our listeners. And this one stood out to me and I want to read it to you.
This one is from Cody. And he writes, I just want to express from a lonely gay who grew up in Alabama
with parents who think being myself is a disgusting lifestyle that I chose, you
make my day-to-day life just breathable, which is a lot from someone who feels
like they're holding their breath every day. My family are Trumpsters, Bible
thumpers, Jesus worshippers, etc. My life is filled with hate with every turn I take.
Listening to y'all, despite the fact that I have to hide it, brings me a sense of belonging that
I wouldn't be able to get from my own mom. I listen to y'all talk and I wish I had you too
as my mother's growing up. I'm a 29-year-old man surviving and I love the courage you two have
given me to come out and be who I
am regardless of losing family.
Wow.
Cody, thank you so much for sending that. And I'm just personally so sorry that so many
people are so cruel and narrow minded about your sexuality because I think your sexuality is something that should be embraced
and celebrated. And I'm just, I just, this is the part of American culture and the othering
of that that just breaks my heart.
Yeah. And it's particularly upsetting when it's your family. That's a heartbreak. And I'm so sorry that you're
dealing with that. Just, you know, when you think about the religious, the Trumpers, it's just,
there's a through line to cruelty.
And the anti LGBTQ plus rhetoric that has increased a lot since 2016 is of big concern because a lot of people, low-information
voters think stuff like, oh, they're not going to go after gay marriage. But what they're
doing is that will be the final step. What they're doing right now is they're removing
discrimination protections in laws. And just in our state, listener, as you know, we live in Oklahoma,
which is a red state with a Republican supermajority. The anti-LGBTQ plus rhetoric and elected politicians
here is a red alarm fire. I mean, it is scary. It is not. You can look at these Republican
supermajorities to see the rhetoric coming out of the politicians
and know that if we do not elect Kamala Harris, that that will come nationwide.
And that's just terrible because every community is better when we embrace everybody for exactly
who they are.
And the reason we talk about politics on this podcast and the reason that we're not always
funny like a lot of the
white ladies wish we were all the time, is for the Cody's of the world. And so Cody,
thank you for being brave enough to send that. And to all of the Cody's out there that are
listeners, we will keep fighting the good fight and we will go to the parade with you
and stand with you and vote for you. That's right.
Pumps, our ability to suck and then wake up the next day and suck more than the
previous day is undefeated.
It's unparalleled.
We are the champions.
If you would like to see how bad we suck, please join us in Seattle in September or
New York City in November for, you know, just
some world-class shit talking.
That's right.
Live.
Live and in person.
That's right.
Listener, for this episode of I've Had It, we've partnered with eHarmony, the dating
app to find someone you can be yourself with.
Our listener knows that
we're unapologetically ourselves and don't feel like we need to pretend to be anything
else. That's probably why y'all listen to our podcast. You stay true to yourselves and
have had it with pretending to be someone you're not. That's especially true when you're
out there on the dating apps. Pops, what's going on out there
on the dating apps? It's unbelievable how many people try to be something they're not on dating
apps. And what I love about eHarmony is it's real people for real relationships. You heard her,
listener. That's why we've partnered with eHarmony because dating on eHarmony is different.
eHarmony because dating on eHarmony is different. eHarmony knows that to find something real, you have to keep it real. You can't be out here trying to be some fantasy Instagram version
of yourself. eHarmony is designed to help you bring out your personality on your profile
with their unique personality test. They even highlight similarities with your potential matches.
And that's when the magic happens,
when you form genuine connections
and authenticity leads to intimacy.
Listener, give eHarmony a shot
and get started with their compatibility quiz
so you can find someone you can be yourself with.
eHarmony, get who gets you.
This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Pumps, this year is the last year that I
have a child at home. And he's a senior and you start to get kind of morose and
you realize you're about to turn not only the
chapter but like check in one book at the library and check out another.
And it's not that I'm not happy for him, but at the same time I'm kind of sad.
And when I'm managing compound emotions like that, I find it so much easier when I take
the time to schedule a session with my BetterHelp therapist. BetterHelp therapy is so fantastic
because it is at your schedule, your convenience,
and you can do it from home
where you feel completely relaxed.
Listener, if you're thinking of starting therapy,
give BetterHelp a try.
It's entirely online, designed to be convenient,
flexible, and suited to your schedule.
All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire
to get matched with a licensed therapist
and you can switch therapist at any time
for no additional charge.

We're going to transition a little bit. We're going to hear from more of our listeners. We're
going to hear a couple of voice memos. Excellent. So up first, we've got Heather.
Listen, me mommy curtain lips and your designing woman friend.
I fucking had it with people using the phrase, we're pregnant.
No, the fuck you're not.
No the fuck you're not.
Unless you are two women both carrying babies in a relationship together, which is totally
fucking cool. I ship it.
We're pregnant. It's so fucking annoying. It gives way too much fucking credit to the man involved.
Okay. Or your other partner, whoever they may be. Listen, I just can't fucking stand it.
Can't fucking sin it.
Okay. This phenomenon I had forgotten about because it's been so long since I've been pregnant.
A long time. A long time.
I mean, decades.
The fucking we're pregnant is the most asinine statement I've ever heard in my life.
You're pregnant. There's a sperm donor.
There's no we being pregnant. We have a child. This
is our child. I'm fine with all that. But we are both not carrying the baby.
Okay. Let me ask you this. Kylie and Anna, as you call her, Kathy and her girlfriend
on it.
And Anna.
Yeah. Kathy and Anna. Let's say that Kathy and Anna go to the, you know, donor place
and they get artificially inseminated and it's Anna that is pregnant. And Cathy comes
into the work one day and she said, I have great news. We're pregnant. Do you think that's
bullshit or do you support that? I mean like in that particular kind here's what I would think in my head.
You're not answering. Are you for it or against it? The we.
Why wouldn't it just be Anna's pregnant? I know they're together. I know it's their baby.
Because she let's say that she had the turkey baster and went through all the stuff with
her and, and really feels like a group project.
It is a group project, but only one person gets birthed.
Are you on the opposite side?
Here's where I stand on it.
And this is going to spark a lot of controversy.
If a heteronormative couple like me and Josh, if we walked up to you and Josh said we're
pregnant, I would want you to slap him, bitch-slapping immediately and say, Josh, shut the fuck up.
All right, you just got your rocks off.
She's the one that has to do all the work.
When it comes to gay couples, I'm all for it.
If it was two gay men and then they have a surrogate somewhere and they're
like, oh, we're pregnant, we're expecting, I would celebrate that and I'd be all for
it.
If Kylie and Ana, one of them were pregnant and they used the phrase, we're pregnant,
I would be all for it.
So I guess I'm somewhat inconsistent in my messaging here.
If it is a heterosexual couple and they're trying to, and it was old-fashioned,
full-blown, they raw-dogged it and that's what happened and that's how we have the kid
and they're trying to, the male is trying to piggyback on the nine months, I think I would
have had it with that. But if it's a gay couple or any other type of couple that's not heteronormative,
I'd celebrate the wee pregnancy.
And I know that's hypocritical, but that's just my gut.
But you know how we have in this podcast, in all the list of roles, we have all the
exceptions for gay couples.
We do.
We draw all kinds of exceptions because it's just, I don't know, it's sweeter when it's
a gay couple, you know?
I just like it better.
I'm with you.
Like, he got his rocks off. it better. I'm with you. Like,
he got his rocks off. He banged out a wad. It's just not that exciting for anybody else.
We're trying to act like you're pregnant.
Right. You're not pregnant.
Miss and Ralph.
She's pregnant.
Yeah. You're not pregnant. You got your rocks off. I don't even think she enjoyed it.
Probably faked an orgasm.
Totally faked an orgasm.
This reminds me of when I was trying to get pregnant with my second child and you and
I decided since my first child was a male, the second child needed to be a female.
And so you had read some book and some internet article and you were going to be my pregnancy
coach and you bought ovulation sticks, had me pee on them.
And then I remember you were like, go home, go home right now.
Call Josh. Forget it. I'll call him. Josh, you need to go home and fuck Jennifer right
now. And then on my way home, you're calling me. Here's what you have to do. You have to
do it. Missionary, legs in the air, blah, blah, blah. And then Josh leaves and you're
the one, you bought the pregnancy test and I found out I was pregnant
with you and I felt like you felt like it was a we.
That's what I was just going to say.
In that particular instance, we were pregnant.
That's okay.
We were pregnant.
But I've got a lot more work into it than Josh.
A lot more, a lot more time, a lot more care.
And here's the deal.
I failed in choosing the sex of your baby. And
that was the name of the book. And remember, I argued with your sister, who's a doctor about
what this is a radiologist. Yeah. She was like, there's a penis. It's like, there cannot be a
penis. There's no penis. I made sure she was pregnant with a girl. I think I said that.
No, you did say that. I think you might have even said I made sure we were pregnant
with a girl because you know why this is the one caveat you've carved out, which is lesbian
pregnancies. And in fact, we were pregnant with Roman because you failed miserably at
getting me pregnant with we failed miserably getting me pregnant with a girl. All right.
This is devolved. Kylie, who's next?
Okay, the last one to listen to is from Corey.
Ladies, I have fucking had it with grocery stores. Okay, why does the
grocery store have to be a group project? It should be a one person job.
We you do not need your spouse, your children, friends, extended family
members to be at the fucking grocery store.
Just go alone, get what you need to get
and get the fuck out.
Everybody's in the goddamn way.
Kids piss me off because they're in the way.
Grandma's in the fucking way.
Everyone's in the way.
One person, one buggy, one basket, what have you.
I don't fucking care.
I've had it with the goddamn grocery store
being a goddamn party all the time for people group outing
It's ridiculous
The delivery is five stars excellent excellent delivery, but'm going to say he has a great point.
I remember one Friday night, probably about a year ago, I went to the grocery store and
I was thinking, this will be a great time to go because normal people are out experiencing
their lives and doing things with other humans.
Because I don't want to be with other people, I'll go to the grocery store to mitigate me
having to be around that many people.
Let me tell you what I observed.
There were four different couples, couple shopping in the grocery store.
Two out of the four were holding hands while grocery shopping and one had the hand on the
baggie.
And it seemed like at every turn, I'd turn the corner
and I'd be like, there's another couple.
Is this a date thing?
Like, what's going on here?
Like, it was so weird.
And then I've been at Target before
and I've seen a family that I know,
and it's the husband, it's the wife,
and they've got a kid in the stroller,
and they've got some other kid up in the car.
And it's like a family of five target shopping.
And I think, you know, the best use of time here would have been for one of you to stay
home with the kids and the other to go grocery shopping.
And I agree with the caller.
It is trench warfare trying to get around all of these people that make grocery shopping
a group activity.
It is not a group activity.
No.
You're just, it's ancillary people for no reason.
I'm with you.
When I see people like two parents and kids that are grocery shopping together, I think,
why the fuck is one of you not having babysitting the other kids?
Why can't somebody just go in, get the groceries, and out?
Why do we have to bring the whole family?
I'll tell you why.
It makes no sense.
I'll tell you why.
Because nobody listens to us.
And we're so smart.
Nobody ever listens to us.
We have been sounding the alarm bells on all of this stuff
forever.
Nobody listens to us.
I bet you right now, across the United States of America,
there is a lot of group activity,
grocery shopping going on right this very minute. Nobody's doing anything about it.
The government sure as hell isn't doing anything about it. There's no regulations. There needs
to be somebody at the door of a grocery store and saying, who is shopping here? I am. Well,
who the fuck are you? Well, I'm her son. How old are you? Six. Tough titties, kid. Go sit
in the car. You know, that's just, that's how I think it needs to be operated because it is exhausting.
And then you've got kids screaming. They're screaming. You've got the germs of all of it.
But I'll tell you what, I can understand the kid more because sometimes maybe you can't have a
babysitter or you don't have childcare. The couples that do it for kicks and hold hands
and the public display of affection while buying pasta is straight up sociopathic and
weird and I'm certain that all four of those couples that I saw, that late night at Albertsons,
I bet every single one of them are divorced. I bet you they talk to each other on Facebook.
I bet you they also carry Stanley cups and I bet they're all Trump voters. I don't know that for real, but I have a pretty big hunch on all of it.
Right. If you're holding hands at a grocery store enough, like gag, gag, gag.
All right, listener. Speaking of voting and elections, we had the opportunity to sit down with a fellow by the name of President Barack Obama.
And we were able to play our world famous game hosted by me, Ma and me, called Had It or Hit It.
And he is every bit, everything that you want him to be plus more in person.
So now we will share our game of had it or hit it
with Barack Obama with you, the listener.
All right, patriots, patriots and matriots,
we are still working on taking the flag, flag back
and the eagle and we've recruited none other
than President Barack Obama to help ignite some patriotism.
Barack, how are you today?
I am great.
Thank you so much for the wonderful work
you guys are doing.
Really proud of you.
And say hello to all folks back home.
We like to play a game called Had It or Hit It.
Of course.
And I think I'm really good at this game.
OK.
All right.
I feel like I'm going to nail it.
Oh my god.
Welcome to Had It or Hit It.
I would hit it.
Had it. Had it. I would hit it.
I hit it every day, sometimes twice a day.
All right. Had it or hit it. Tan suits. Oh, hit that. Listen,
I looked remarkable.
I really did. And I obviously some people weren't ready for it, but any of the folks out there who are thinking about a dancer, especially in the middle of summer, go for it.
Live a little.
The thing that I like about that particularly is because I'm kind of petty.
And I could tell the Fox News journalist's resting heart rate went up about 20 to 25
beats.
And I thought that's an added bonus to looking so spectacular.
There's a little envy clearly.
I couldn't pull that off.
That's right.
I'm sure that's what OK.
I think had it or hit it.
Almonds.
I'll hit that.
Yeah.
Almonds, my favorite snack.
Although a weird story evolved around me only having seven of them.
Yeah, it's kind of psycho.
Yeah, which was sad.
This friend of mine was making a joke.
Apparently the journalist didn't understand
that it was a joke.
And so people come up and ask me all the time,
say, do you really only have seven almonds?
As if I was sitting there counting them.
No, no, but almonds, good for you.
And it's a healthy snack.
Yeah.
Almond milk, do you like almond milk?
I'll be honest with you, if I'm going with milk,
I'll just drink milk.
But I take my coffee blank.
It's been a while since I just had a cold glass of milk. Yeah. I don't I take my coffee
been a while since I just
milk. Yeah, that's not re
not seven but I had a little
the milk people. I'm all p
it or hit it? Team USA basketball. Hit that, hit.
I had a chance to spend time with them out in Vegas.
You know, Steve Kerb, friend, LeBron and Steph.
I've known them for a really long time.
And in fact, the head of USA basketball
is the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marty Depsey,
who was, you know, he and I worked together
in my second term and wonderful man.
And so I went out there and had dinner with the whole team
and had been rooting for them ever since.
And to watch them bring back the gold
in Paris was spectacular.
Do you still play?
No, I hung it up.
55, I figured now I'm really pushing my luck
and I'm gonna pop my Achilles.
And I decided, you know, being an ex-president in a boot,
yeah, not cool.
Yeah, the Tansu.
Tansu, you know, first of all, trying to get the Tansu over the boot. That would be the problem. Yeah, so cool. Yeah. The Tansu. Tansu.
Right.
First of all, trying to get the Tansu over the food.
That would be the problem.
Yeah.
So we skipped that.
Okay.
Had It or Hit It, Brat Summer.
Hit It.
I just put out my playlist and 365 is on it and it is a great album. So I get people questions sometimes whether I'm actually listening to all this music as I've
testified before I am. I get input from my daughters, right, who undeniably are a little
more up to speed on a day to day basis. I've got a bunch of young staff who occasionally will make recommendations,
but Charlie XCX, she knows what she's doing.
All right, had it or had it unregistered voters?
Had it.
Had it, but for those of you who are unregistered
and are not thinking about voting, I haven't
permanently had it with you.
I want to invite you into making sure that we have a country where women are respected
and their health care choices are respected, a country where we make sure we're helping
people make a living wage
and making sure that we're taking care of the planet
and trying to do something about climate change
and a place where we treat everybody equally
and with respect and dignity
and all those things are on the ballot
and especially young people.
I always tell them, you know, you
wouldn't let your grandparents make decisions
about what you wear or what you listen to.
So why are you letting them make decisions
without any input from you about the kind of country
that you're going to be living in?
I agree.
Yeah.
So if, in fact, there are people out there who
are still wondering OK, I'm sold.
I'm willing to go out there and
make my voice heard but don't know
how to do it. You can go to Iwillboat.com
Iwillboat.com and you'll see
just how easy it is to vote.
Alright, had it or hit it.
Project 2025.
But we we've had with the ideas there in this for those who aren't familiar with it, but you guys been educated. This is an agenda that's been put together that would
soup to nuts, take away rights and freedoms that so many of us take for granted that would dismantle vital
programs and services like the Department of Education.
It's not the kind of America that, you know, I think we'd want to live in.
If you are a patriot and you believe in freedom, well, you know, part of the freedom that we,
you know, we have fought and died for is the freedom to make sure that
everybody is treated equally.
Women have control over their own bodies.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a job and work hard and make something of themselves
and that when they're down on their luck or something happens, we as a community come
together and pick them up.
And that's not what Project 2025 stands for.
We sure can't have it in the White House.
Did you see at the DNC, the Trump hotel,
where they put a light up that said Project 2025 HQ above it?
I didn't see it and I had nothing to do with it. but a light up that said project 2025 HQ or government.
I didn't see it and I had nothing to do with it. I thought it was a high quality troll.
I really did.
I really did.
Okay, last one, had it or hit it,
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for president and vice president.
We have to hit Kamala Harris to become our next president, our first woman president.
We've got to make sure that Tim Walz, football coach, teacher, all around good guy who has
amazing experience as a congressman and a governor.
Those are the kinds of people that we want leading us to create the kind of country that
we're all looking for. A country where everybody gets a fair shot, everybody is treated with
dignity and respect. And a country where we're building a better future for our
kids. So I could not be more excited about this ticket and I'm gonna be out
there working hard and I hope everybody else is too, including in the great state of Oklahoma.
We will. I don't think we're going to turn it blue.
You know what? But we're looking at maybe Oklahoma County.
It all, you know, these things start,
start just a little bit at a time.
I mean, there was a time when, you know,
before I ran for president,
Virginia hadn't elected a Democrat in a really long time
and now Virginia's solidly Democratic.
Georgia, nobody would have dreamed
that Georgia would elect two Democratic senators.
Lo and behold, it happened.
And the reason is because people mobilized and voted.
And it doesn't always happen the first time,
but you gotta start some.
Well, women across the United States, particularly in red states where we have a complete abortion
ban, we're pissed and we're organizing and we're going to vote and we're going to vote for Kamala
Harris and Tim Walsh. President Obama, thank you so much. I had such a great time and I'm
so grateful your voices are out there. Keep it up. All right. Thank you. Thank you.
time and I'm so grateful your voices are out there. Keep it up. All right. Thank you.
Well, well, well, haven't we come a long way.
Is there anything that you can say about Barack Obama that really captures his essence? I mean, he is charismatic. He's hot. He's well spoken. He's so attractive. It's like a vortex of just charisma.
Dare I say it?
I don't want to say it.
Say it.
He's just eaten up with big dick energy.
I mean, it's just radiating, radiating, radiating off of him.
You know, I'm glad that you said it because our listener is used to...
That kind of thing.
That everything with you, because you haven't been laid in three to four years always gets down to penises and sizes and whatnot. It does
seem somewhat blasphemous. I kind of feel like that. I know, I know, I know, I know.
But he does have big D energy. No question. No question about it. But what I really enjoyed
so much about sitting down and talking to him is how
important it is to vote and how former presidents that encourage every voice to be heard and they
want to get as many people to vote as possible is a healthy form of democracy. And you oftentimes
hear on the right, they want to raise the voting age, they want to make it harder to vote, they want to make it less time to vote.
And I believe it's Australia, it's like mandatory voting.
In a lot of countries in Europe, election day, you get the entire day off.
In this country, we have one political party who wants to make it really, really difficult
for a lot of its citizens
to vote. And the reason for that is because they don't have the numbers. They only win
by skirting the system. So it's so important when we have presidents that for the permanent
record won the popular vote and the electoral college and has Big D energy and can rock a tan suit.
All of the things. Telling everybody to go out and vote. That is healthy. That is
a wonderful form of democracy and I love that he is out stumping for Kamala and
encouraging everybody to vote and I just I cannot wait until November. And Gen Zers, I know we have a lot of Gen Z listeners,
make sure you're registered, get each other to vote,
browbeat each other to vote, make it fun.
TikTok while you vote, Instagram,
make it a big national thing that all Americans are doing.
And one thing I'll just say,
if you live in, I know Texas, maybe another state too, that
they're purging the rolls so that it's harder for people to vote that haven't voted in the
past recently.
So check your voter registration.
Oh, all the, there's always one side.
They accuse everybody of cheating, but that's just, they're the ones who are always trying
a bunch of trickery, a bunch of sorcery,
a bunch of fuckery. And the biggest thing that we can do is the vote has to be too big to rig.
We need to give Kamala Harris, so the Cody's of the world that wrote that email, and these,
you know, meemaw doesn't have that much time in her advanced age in
the country. And she would like to see the first female president. And so, listener,
thank you so much for joining us. Make sure you're subscribed across all platforms to
both of our podcasts. And we are on tour, Seattle, New York, Australia coming up in
January. Click our link in bio and pumps. Tell them.
We will see you next Tuesday and Thursday.
I'll tell you what I've had it with.
Let's hear it.
I've had it with that.
