Starting point is 00:00:00 So we're supposed to start the podcast. Ready, one, two, three. Oh my God. That was terrible. One, two, three. Oh, Judy Diana. One, two, three. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Judy Diana. What's Judy Diana? What do you be had it with What did you have it with? I've had it with vendors text messaging me when I don't give them, when I give them my email, somehow they connect it to my cell phone because I've fallen into the trap that to get the discount, you give them your phone number. Well, I've stopped doing that, but now I notice even places that I don't give in my email like vendors are texting me and I'm like, fuck and stop it. I've had
Starting point is 00:00:53 it. They're double dipping. They're double dipping and it's horrible. Double, dippers in the solicitation department. Yes. And I'm afraid it's going to get worse because we're moving into the holidays. You know, here's what I don't appreciate. I don't appreciate when you give somebody your cell phone number, like a med spa or a doctor's office or like a dentist. And in order to give them your cell phone number, you're agreeing that they're going to text you a reminder of your appointment, right, which I support. I do too. And then they start rolling out their guess what? It's National Botox month, and we're giving you a discount.
Starting point is 00:01:32 I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Or patient surveys. I didn't agree to this. Did not agree to this. I agreed to the patient reminder. I did not agree nor sign up for these solicitations. Now, and it's like, if I wanted you to have my cell phone number, I would have given you my cell phone number. Let me ask you this. If we had all of our listeners cell phone numbers, right? And our downloads, one particular day, were kind of low. Okay. And you could like mass text them
Starting point is 00:02:03 just a reminder, you have an episode to listen Okay. And you could like mass text them. Just a reminder, you have an episode to listen to. Would you send it? I'd be the biggest hypocrite in the world if I sent it, but I'd probably send it. Listen, I have to eat a lot of crow. Please go give us a five star review and therein leave your cell phone number. So pumps can remind you each Tuesday and Thursday morning to listen to her lackluster the first two times but nailed it the third clap clap that's exactly lackluster. I'll tell you what I've had it with okay all you can eat buffet why have you had it with all you can eat buffet?
Starting point is 00:02:45 You would never go to one if your life depended on it. They're gross. Okay. I don't think it's a good idea. All you can eat. I mean, I think that's just a bad tip from the start. All you can eat. Like I just, I don't think that that is a good thing for people. I don't think
Starting point is 00:03:06 just letting people go up to the trough and get a plate and go get another plate and then go get another plate. I just I don't think it's a good idea. I also have had it with the soft drink free refills. I think that is not good either. Number one, back in the day when my kids were little and everybody was picky, I would always take them to a buffet so they could each just get what they wanted and used to give me shit about it. I still remember it. And so for that purpose, I do like an all-you-can-eat buffet and I absolutely fucking love a free drink refill. I don't mind it on a water, I don't mind it on a tea,
Starting point is 00:03:49 but on a soft drink. I just think it's too much. I think I think they need to start charging. I will go out with my family and then Roman will order like a sprite. He's literally only drank four inches of it and they already bring out another one. And I'm like, this is just not good. Like you're just promoting calorie on top of calorie on top of calorie on top of calorie. I have had it. I don't like the all
Starting point is 00:04:14 you can eat buffet culture. I don't like the soft drink free refills. I don't like it. I don't think it's healthy. I don't think people need that much. I think it's like all about we just have to consume. And like another thing I've had it with are the portion sizes of food in the United States of America. It's disgusting. They're big. It's places are really big. You could never eat all of it.
Starting point is 00:04:38 It's disgusting. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. I don't like getting it. I oftentimes order the children's plate if they will let me, even though I'm over 12 years old, barely. But I often, I'm just like, I wanna order the children's plate
Starting point is 00:04:53 because it's a more reasonable portion. Right, I've ordered the children's plate before and been overwhelmed by how big it was. I think portion sizes are out of control. I think the free refills are ridiculous. Nobody needs that much of a soft drink. And I also think the all-you-can-eat buffets are gross. And I think Congress needs to act and ban them.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I don't like it. I think if we could get Congress to do anything meaningful, that would be the last thing on my list. Well, I'm just saying that first of all, I'm saying that tongue in cheek obviously. So I would appreciate you leaning into the nuance there. And secondly, I just, I think it's all, I think it's just this consumption, like just, we're going to go out and we're going to eat all this food and drink all these soft drinks. And I just, it kind of grosses me out. There's heart disease, diabetes, all this shit that's going on in this country. And it's just like, free refills for everybody. All you can eat by
Starting point is 00:05:53 a heart attacks, beat them and guess what? Fuckers eat all you want to and you're not getting health care either. That heart attack we're going to give you from the fucking golden crowd. Guess what? Tough titties when you have that heart attack fucker. You're dead. Oh, your family can't afford to funeral. Tough titties. Had it.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Welcome to I've had it. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie. She is judge Judy Diana. Dolly, judge Judy Diana, Dolly, the store of our show. That's right. All right, listen up. Pumps and I like to do this.
Starting point is 00:06:32 And it irritates the shit out of Kylie. And she just looks at us like we're little kids, but we're going to do it. We do it when we're traveling on tour all day. And we crack up all day long. And Kylie just is like, ah, you're all still at it. And here's what we do. We pick a person that's going to be a guest on the podcast in our imagination.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Right. And we have an imaginary interview with them. And this entertains us for hours upon hours upon hours. And so we thought, why are we enjoying this all to ourselves? Right. It's really so funny. I mean, Kylie, we said, boy, y'all think you're so funny. So it might be a total bomb. Okay. But here's, here's our imaginary guest today. Let's welcome to I've had it podcast, the former first lady of the United States of America,
Starting point is 00:07:20 Melania Trump. Pumps wanted to welcome Melania. Melania, we're so glad to have you here. We have so many questions. We've just been dying to ask. Melania, right out of the gates, I just want to ask you, when Donald fucked the porn star Stormy Daniels, were you relieved that you had a few nights off? How about Melania? How do you feel about immigration, given that you You had a few nights off. Hahaha. Hahaha. How about Melania? How do you feel about immigration given that you were an immigrant and that he did fast track? Your residency.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So why aren't you out there helping immigrants on the border instead of sitting in the Gucci Palace with your fat ass husband? How about Melania? When you fuck your husband, do you have him remove his makeup before or after sex? Melania, do you swallow? Melania, have you ever stuck your finger up? I'm not a fan of you. Melania, have you ever stuck your finger up Donald's ass during sex and or a blow job? If so, please describe what happened next.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Melania, when's the last time Donald ate you out? Oh, it's repulsive. I don't know if I can come up with a great... Here's my number one question I would ask. Okay. How many times have you just slapped his face off because he won't shut the fuck up? I mean, I want to know that and I want to know when are you divorcing him? Now's the time because he's getting ready to lose all his money and writing a
Starting point is 00:09:09 tell-all. We're all waiting for that. See, I think that would require like some sort of savviness and a self-awareness that she just does. Any any smart person at this point would have immediately jumped ship from that and gone to publishing houses and told all and answered every question we just asked right painstaking detail from the oral sex down to the pegging to the pinky and the ass. Tell it all. Tell it all. Get your cash. Put it in the bank. But is she doing it?
Starting point is 00:09:43 No. No. No. Melania, do you and Donald share makeup tips? Hahaha. Hahaha. Melania, do you ever assist in applying his cosmetics? Follow up question. Does he also put the orange on his penis?
Starting point is 00:09:58 Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Melania, like thank you for joining us that I've had it today. I'm not going to be a fan of you. I'm not going to be a fan of you. I'm not going to be a fan of you. I'm not going to be a fan of you. I'm not going to be a fan of you.

It looks like you're sitting in a janitorial closet. What's going on there? Oh, man, I was trying to be discreet. No, this is my office at the daily show and the writer's strike is finally over. So I'm here and kind of waiting on instructions. And this is what my office looks like. Shirts are here, some pictures, Tucker Carlson's head. My gym bag, terrible blinds. I've tried to have fix for years, but this is it. This is where comedy is attempted.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Do you ever throw darts at the Tucker Carlson? Yeah. We throw verbal darts. So I think that your job is so inviable because I think there's nothing more fun than making fun of breathtaking right wing stupidity. It's one of our favorite past times. Yes, we love it. I mean, in that material that they pump out to be ridiculed is infinite.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Look, a comedian's job is to call out bullshit. That's those have been my favorite people, my favorite comedians. I owe it to myself and the thousands of comedians before me who did that or attempted to do that. So, look, I'm willing to call out bullshit any direction. It just seems like the right has gone insane. I mean, I grew up in Michigan with a dad that probably voted Republican most of the time.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I just don't ever remember it being so bat shit crazy. Right? Right. It's gotten so crazy. And people will come to my shows. And I was in Phoenix last week and I made fun of, I hypothesized that Donald Trump's pajamas were superhero pajamas and that he slept in a race car bed.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And this just infuriated this one couple, like to the point of yelling and being so mad. And look, if you're in power, you get mocked a little bit, you know, and we can make fun of Joe Biden's pajamas also. We do, but it's just so interesting that the side that talks the most BS has such a hard time. Just taking a little jab, you know. A little soft. Okay. So wait, let me get this straight.
Starting point is 00:15:47 So you throw out that you think Donald Trump's wearing super hero's, super hero under ruse and sleeping in a car bed. And there's a but hurt Trump couple in the audience. That is awesome. Yeah. And it's awesome. And the thing is, it's not like I start the show going, let me tell you about Trump. I was talking about how my daughter had wear pajama
Starting point is 00:16:07 to daycare day. And how nice it was for the parents, you don't have to think about anything, you just throw them in the car, they're there. And I was thinking, you know, I wish all adults, and in particular elected officials, we could see their pajamas. And Biden probably has a nice royal blue pajama
Starting point is 00:16:24 with white piping in the presidential seal. Maybe the, maybe the pants are on backwards. And so I even made fun of, I even made fun of Biden, right? So it's like, I got my Biden shot in. And then as soon as you made fun of Trump, they got so upset. Now, I should also say there was 350 people there. Everyone was having fun, right? Except for those, except for those two. Except for those two. There's always a skunk at the Garden Party.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I like that. Yes. Yes. All right. Michael, what have you had it with? Oh, man. I loved that Susie Orman said, she doesn't even know what it's like flying in an airport. She flies private. Oh, you don't even, you've never been to an airport.
Starting point is 00:17:11 You've never sat in traffic. I know you're wealthy. I know you have to exude this well for often. But you can't even put your brain in the traffic. So I had it with that, okay? Yeah, she totally flexed on us, didn't she? She did, but it was also really great that she was so honest about her life. I love that. Yeah, yeah. It's like, it wasn't doing the faux celebrity humility of, so I liked that, but I also like, hey, Susie, I know you've been to an airport. I've really struggled lately with people who don't communicate clearly. And that isn't like emotional clarity.
Starting point is 00:17:51 That's the actual words coming out of their mouth so I can understand the message. A really simple thing, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mumbles, I get lots of mumbles, I pay a lot of money to this gym and then the instructor's like, okay, six minutes, no, no, no, no, no how to really communicate. Right. You two are very good at it. That's why you've got microphones in front of your face, but I just find it in general, and maybe it has to do with the country and the division. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:35 We're just not, we're not clearly communicating and we're also not receiving. And that's another one of my pet peeves, non-engaged listeners. Right. Okay. I completely had it with non-engaged listeners. Right. Okay. I completely had it with non-engaged listeners and listener. We're talking to you because let me tell you something, Michael, there's a huge disparity on downloads that we have and Apple reviews, which means a lot of people are not taking this process over the finish line. And I'm talking to every mother, fucker with their ear pods and their ears
Starting point is 00:19:05 right now who have not taken the time to go give us one through five stars. We'll read the one star, we'll read the five star. Honestly, we think we're a three to four star podcast. We never get those. It's either one or five. It's black or white. You clearly communicated that message. I like those reviews also for my pod, but I also kind of wonder why I want them so much. Is it just for the number? Like who gives a shit? You know, everyone loves you. I know, I love them so bad.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Yeah. And it's like the, we, Pumps and I are so ridiculous if we start falling in the charts. She'll text me, we're face planning. The podcast is completely face planning. Right. It's like ridiculous how immature we are. Our core, it's unbelievable actually
Starting point is 00:19:54 that we're adults that have children. We've bred. You have a beautiful balance of, we don't give a shit about this thing. But also, we're very good at it and clearly our set, our mics, our out, we do care. So I love that. That's right. I love it.
Starting point is 00:20:13 We're also slaves to our Apple Watches, though. Like if my, if I'm sitting down with people and my thing says stand up, I mean, I hop up like somebody has a gun to my head. I mean, it's ridiculous. So I think it's just that whole, anything Apple, I just think I have up like somebody has a gun to my head. I mean, it's ridiculous. So I think it's just that whole anything Apple I just think I have to succeed at it. So like so you're like totally fallen prey to the whole Apple monopoly the whole watch the podcast reviews All of it. Yeah, I do get bummed out when I'm talking to someone and they look at the thing, they look at the
Starting point is 00:20:45 text. I don't think that's engaged listening. I think there's a lot of room for people who do square up and really look at you and present you with like what you're saying is really important. To me, I think I really, really remember those people. That's true, right. That's totally true. You're right. So I couldn't hear you too. I was just checking my phone. So. No, when somebody really listens and is engaged,
Starting point is 00:21:12 it's really captivating. And I don't know if it's our own narcissism where it's like, they're really listening to me. Like, she's really into what I'm saying. That makes it so captivating, that maybe it's like, oh, I'm so amazing. Look at how captivated she is. But I recently had brunch with a friend of mine and she was so, she was such a great listener. And I felt like, God, if I can nail that conversation way to go, Jennifer, totally. Okay. Michael, I, of course, like deep Googled you. Oh,
Starting point is 00:21:43 and you were a professional tennis player. That's right. Thank you for deep Googling me, by the way. That's what I haven't heard that with. I haven't heard that one before, but it feels great. Not to be increased with deep throat. It's the deep Googled. I just get your head out of the gutter, Michael.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Okay, bye-bye. But you're only a couple of years older than Roger Federer. Have you met him? You're only a couple of years older than Roger Federer. Have you met him? I have met him thanks to Trevor Noah in the Daily Show because they Trevor has a Swiss father and a South African mother. And Roger Federer has the same breakdown. So besides them both being Swiss and famous,
Starting point is 00:22:27 of course, it's like, you know, they somehow know each other. I don't know how that all works. But in Trevor's last few days here at the Daily Show, he said, he texts me and he said, you better come in today. And I'm like, first of all, I've been coming in for seven straight years.
Starting point is 00:22:41 No one's even known up in the building. So of course I'm coming in. But it was Roger Federer was a guest. And Trevor brought me down and introduced me, gave me such a nice introduction. And this, you know, this is ties back to what I've had it with. Roger stands up, squares up, locks in. He's never met me in his life, right? And we chatted for 10 minutes. And it wasn't the length of the conversation. It was the feeling that I got, he was paying attention to me. And of course, I'm already a huge fan. I'm already meeting my hero, but he really just locked in and listened.
Starting point is 00:23:18 And it was a special moment for me in the photographer. I got this perfect picture of me talking to Roger. And he's like listening, like, like I'm some genius. And it was great. So yeah, I would, I wish I had his tennis career, but I'll just take that quick meeting I had as a consolation. Hey, so, okay, if you could change the results of any grand slam final, which one would you change and why? Oh, that is such a bullshit question, but I will step that question. There's only one right answer.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Oh, there is. Okay. If for you, is it 2019 men's Wimble then final? No, that's it. When Roger had a couple of match points and no, yeah, no, Vax somehow beat him. I, I want to hear your take on this. I no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, to him and it's just such a world class competitor that isn't perfect, but I love that about him. Oh, for fuck's sake. I know, I know you're mad. I know you're mad. I'm furious with you.
Starting point is 00:24:34 You've had it with you, Michael. Okay, here's the deal. I've seen him play. I just saw him win. I was at the US Open Finals. I was at the Wembolden Finals with it was the worst. It was Kiragos and Novak. The final, yeah. The final at Wembleden in 22. Anyway, here's my deal with Novak. Incredible
Starting point is 00:24:52 tennis player. He's phenomenal. I just, he loses me with like when he gives these interviews and he says, you can pray over a glass of water and remove the bacteria from it. And I just cannot celebrate that level of breath taking stupidity. It deserves to be ridiculed. I think it's fishy that he went with his documents into Australia. I think it was kind of bullshit that he did that. And then acted like he was some, you know, that he was persecuted.
Starting point is 00:25:22 I don't like him personally. For me, he doesn't have that it factor like Roger, or Rafa, like he's phenomenal at tennis. There is no question about it. I just don't like him as a person. He doesn't have that whole package for me. And maybe I'm shallow and maybe I need the whole package. But like Rafa is my favorite.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Roger, like my husband would, like gay loves Roger. I mean, like, totally maybe leave me for Roger. That's how much he loves Roger. I'm all in for Rafa. Like, I love him. He's an atheist. I'm an atheist. Is Rafa, is Rafa, is Rafa, an atheist? Out of the closet atheist. Yes. Let me tell you how much I appreciate someone publicly in the media saying that and also saying that you don't like when an athlete brings up all the God stuff because I've been doing this for 10 years and every time I do it I lose 2,000 Instagram followers. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:16 And it's just nice to like you guys talk about your God all the time. Can I talk about how I don't buy that? Is that you know, and you know, who does this all the time? You know, who's, who's, who's been in the chest and pointing out, your guy Novak Jokevic. Oh, yeah. That Jokevic, that too, he is. Is he kiss the thing? Oh, he does all the shit.
Starting point is 00:26:32 He does all that. He owes it all to GOD baby. But Rafa, he is, you can look on his, even on his Wikipedia page, he is an atheist. Let me, let me share something with you that you two already know. Okay. People whose public images are perfect like Rafa, like Roger. They're not perfect people and they're
Starting point is 00:26:52 not perfect. It's well choreographed. It's well branded. They are really great people. And it's not that Roger and Rafa aren't. But what I really appreciate about Novak in consideration of those two is he's imperfect. He fumbles, he stumbles, he gets defaulted out of the US open for hitting a ball at a line's woman's neck. We're talking about the greatest tennis player of all time. You know, he really has those fallible human like me
Starting point is 00:27:24 and you moments. And I just, I just really appreciate it because when I met Roger Federer, he looked good. He was good, he smelled good. It was a little too perfect. Okay, listen, if you want to be fan... He kissed great. I'm just...

Let me ask you this. Do you play pickleball? That was on my list of things I've had it with and I know through your Instagram that you pretend to like pickleball and I think that a lot of people pretend to like this half ass bullshit, right? Trash, tennis, trash, tennis, wannabe, checkers, sport.
Starting point is 00:29:30 It's so funny that you say white trash because my husband and I were, when we started playing it because we've been to Wimbledon, we've been to Roland Garros, we're like total tennis tourists, we play tennis. And then so we would watch it on the YouTube, like TV channel, and the commercials for pickleball or like pickleball juice pickleball. Let's go. And my husband is really shallow, really pretentious.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I mean, Uber vapid, okay? And he's like, God, I mean, pickleball is so white trash. There was a racquetball craze in the 80s, you know, and it kind of reminds me of that. Have you played it? I've played it. I enjoy it. You know, that's kind of the one thread that keeps me, that keeps me open minded to it, is that it is, it is fun.
Starting point is 00:30:23 You know, so was doing a cannonball off a high-dance. Because I mean, it should be taken seriously. So, um, have you ever won a pickleball tournament? Are you a medalist? No, but I know you have. So shut up. Okay, just stop. It's so clear what's happening. She's the most inseparable winner on planet earth. I mean, it's and then she's probably a terrible loser, right? Actually, here's the weird thing about it. She's a great loser. She's so gracious and lost, but she acts like a complete dick when she wins anything.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I'm a sore winner. She's a sore winner. I kind of, I kind of accept sore winner if you're a classy loser. I'm a total classy. She is. I really love it. I think that's, I think that's cool. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:31:08 More Americans are outside. More Americans are playing something swinging, moving their feet. This is good. Elderly people have an activity that isn't harmful to their legs, hips, whatever. It's all good. It's all good. Right. And I, I will quote the great Martina Navratelova when I say, if it's all good. It's all good. Right. And I will quote the great Martina
Starting point is 00:31:25 Navratilova when I say, if it's that popular, then go build your own courts. Michael, now it's time to play a game called had it or hit it. Oh my God. Welcome to had it or hit it. I would hit it. I had it. I hit it every day sometimes twice a day. All right. Had it or hit it. Raphael Nadal had it. I know this is his last year. Damn it, Michael. I know. Well, you, you, I know it's his last year. He's 114. Goddamn rolling, Garos. Just, you're done, bro. Go, you, you wanted a medium-sized fishing yacht. You got it. Go fishing. Bye. What if he comes back and ties Novak? What if he wins the Australian and then rolling giraffes? Would you hit it? Yeah. I mean, I, I, one of my favorite things to do, just for me, Just for me is
Starting point is 00:32:28 Listen to his post-match press conferences and just pull these nuggets of positivity and and you know he says things like I prepare to be unprepared He says things like it's all about who can suffer the most I mean here I am bitching because my like C train is crowded and I got a transfer at J Street Metro Tech and I'm hearing like it's all about who can suffer. And I just, it just fills me with an exuberance of life. So I do absolutely love the guy. But take a, you're done dude, it's over, good run.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Had it or hit it, threads. I think threads made a mistake in that it's, what is it? What demo, you know, what is it? I would like it if they said we're family friendly Twitter or if they said we're edgy Twitter. I just don't know, it's just the same thing to me. I hate it because I always feel guilty when I get back on Twitter when I have a threads account,
Starting point is 00:33:21 but they get the news so much faster on Twitter. And it takes forever to load on threads. And then so now I just don't even look at threads and I hate that. If I don't wanna do anything to help Elon Musk. I feel like it's just one more thing we have to fucking check. It's just one more thing. Like I was recently in my DMs,
Starting point is 00:33:41 we're going to London next week to do a show and the scroll was like, hey, I've been WhatsAppping you. And I'm like a person that I know that lives in the UK. And I'm like, I don't check WhatsApp. That's one more fucking thing I have to check. And so I feel like threads is just one more fucking thing we have to check. I don't, are you two so actually likable in real life that you answer fans like DMs and
Starting point is 00:34:02 stuff? Some, some, yeah. I. Some. I try to. I try to. I try to. That's really nice. That's great. I just can't imagine. I'm very comfortable ignoring multiple of those. And it makes my life better, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:17 But maybe that's why I'm hiding in a co-closet and you two are on some expensive set. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. OK. Had it or hit it Walmart. So I live a bit of a dual life. I have a city life and then I have a getaway house life in real America. And it's easy for me to say Walmart, I've had it. I can't put up with it. The people, the putting the small businesses out. But as soon as you go where that's all there is, you go there for everything.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I go there for grapes, I go there for kids, clothing, I go there for batteries, paint, automobile stuff. So I gotta say hit it, sorry. She makes fun of me for going to Walmart too, but I mean, it's a one-stop shop for everything. I really do like it. I mean, well, we recently went together and let me tell you how alarming it was.
Starting point is 00:35:09 So I go in and of course, you know, there's regional buyers, right? And so we're in Oklahoma City. There's this kiosk smack dab in the middle of Walmart with all of this. I'll call it a fiction section, okay? So it has all of these like Noah's arc type books. My favorite book that I found Michael is probably one eighth of an inch thick, and I'm not overselling this here. And the cover of it said scientific facts in the Bible. Oh God, why are you doing this?
Starting point is 00:35:45 But also, you know, where you guys live, it's just, it's just gonna, it's not, I don't see that book in my Walmart, but, you know, good example, my sister was visiting, we wanted to get her a cake, she liked giraffes, she's older, she's like a, you know, a 40 plus and somehow still likes giraffes, whatever, and we wanted to get her a cake that looked like a giraffe. And I called like five cake decorators.
Starting point is 00:36:10 No one was available, they didn't answer whatever. I finally get someone that's, oh, you got to call the Walmart place. And it's like, I don't want to go to Walmart. I want to go small business, but they just weren't answering or didn't exist or whatever, so you go to Walmart. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Okay. Had it or hit it, pleated khaki pants. Mm. I would say had it pleated, had it khaki. Really? I like it. Yeah. I do wear a pair of khaki pants.
Starting point is 00:36:38 They're non pleated. I just think of like, you know, some frappoyed South Carolina wearing new balance and new Bangkok's hat that's twisted like like, you know, some frappaway South Carolina wearing new balance and new Bangkok's hat that's twisted like that, you know, but. Okay, had it or hit it. This is your last one, man scoping. I think man scoping is toast. Really?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Yeah, there was a time there where everyone was shaving the chest and getting waxed. I'm proud to say my man's escaping days are over. The hairy chest is in full effect. I'm not afraid of it. I've taken some TikTok videos and they're the shirts a little too low. And I don't edit, I post it. The burnt rentals laying down on the rug naked. I think that's back in. Maybe let's do it.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Body positivity. I like it. Hair positivity. Well, Michael, I cannot thank you enough for joining us. I want you to give Rafa a chance for next year. He is the Spanish bull. And I think he can come back. He's, he's unbelievable. were rolling girls, did you see the statue they made of him that was made of steel or iron? It's kind of interesting. Yes, I saw him. It was the greatest day of my life because let me talk to him. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:54 22. He won. Hmm. He's there winning. I'm in the audience watching. And then like the love of my life is also in the audience, which is Larry David. And I'm just like, how am I, I've got Rafa, I've got Larry, and I'm like, I love you too, honey, to Josh.
Starting point is 00:38:11 But I mean, it was one of the greatest days of my life. That day being with those two men and the day my sons were born, I mean, that day was so much better than giving birth. For sure. Giving birth is way overrated. It was like, it's the best day of my life. I'm like, no, it's not. They're better when they're older, better when they're older.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Babies are not fun. I have a three and a half year old and she's getting to be great. And I have a six month old who's getting to be a disaster. But you're in control. I love my family. And thank you for having me. This was really nice and fun to chat with you ladies. I hope to do it in person sometime. I know I would love that. Yes, all right, thanks Michael. Thanks Michael. I just can't believe he likes Novak. I just loved it so much when he...
Starting point is 00:38:54 Trolled me. Trolled you. I mean, that makes me so happy. I know. I know. Here's the deal. I know pickleball is not cool. You're trying to make it cool.
Starting point is 00:39:03 I know that it's kind of white trash. I know that if it's, I get the optics of it. I understand the optics of it. But when you play at my level of athleticism, it's a major sport. Okay, no, I just don't trust somebody who's that die heart of a a no back fan. I love you, Michael, but that's suspectous hell. That is vicious reasoning. I like
Starting point is 00:39:31 this reasoning. I liked it, but Rafa's better, Roger's better. Oh my God. In Mateo, Baratini, listen, all you little gay listeners of ours go look at Mateo, Baratini. He really has hot. I think even the lesbians would think he's hot. I had no question. Kylie, you think he's hot? I couldn't pick him up out of a line up. Oh, goddammit, Kylie. All right, listen, go give us reviews, five stars.
Starting point is 00:39:56 We care about this. We can't explain why other than we're profoundly immature. Leave us a voice memo, hot shit to our documentary club on Patreon. And we'll see you next Tuesday Thursday.
