Starting point is 00:00:29 there. Oh my God rock solid judge Judy Diana strikes again. This is going to be groundbreaking. It's going to be a great episode I can tell. Groundbreaking podcasting because as everybody knows, we are the smartest people in the business. I don't know that everybody knows. Everybody knows it.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Everybody knows. Particularly you, judge Judy, Dianna. What do you have it with? What I've had it with is when you're having conversations with people and they ask you a question and then during your answer, they're on, they're phone the entire time and then they go, oh, I'm sorry, what was that?
Starting point is 00:01:20 And it's like, fuck you, you asked. I answered, you were on your phone. Let's just be done with the conversation because you clearly don't give a shit. Yes, or here's something that kind of bothers me, the inverse of that. I'm on my phone, right? Responding to work emails and or texts.
Starting point is 00:01:38 When I'm in the throes of that, I'm like one track mind, responding to a work or personal or whatever it is. And Josh wants to interrogate me and or narrate my life. And so then he's like, are you even listening to me? And I'm like, will you started this? And I'm like, mid email, right? When you started this benign interrogation of me.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And so, do you want me to stop doing this and put my phone down or can I finish this and then we can have the conversation. It's like, oh fine, you just, you know, you're just more into your phone. And I'm like, fuck off. You're like, if the house is on fire, then you need to interrupt. Otherwise, your benign narrating conversation can wait until I'm done working. The thing is it's like, I get both sides. Like, sometimes I'm the phone abuser. Right? Because you're on your phone a lot. And then sometimes I'm the person who wants somebody off their phone to pay attention to me.
Starting point is 00:02:36 It's a double-edged sword. Totally. I've been on both sides of this sword. Here's the deal. It doesn't bug me when you do it, because I know that you're doing something. But when I'm specifically asked a question by someone, and then they're on their phone, I'm just like, why are we even talking? Sometimes I will say I use it as body language. Right. If the person's, if I ask a question to somebody and it is maybe a one sentence long answer,
Starting point is 00:03:06 and that's it. And they take the liberty of going, I'm talking a full maybe one to two chapter answer. I use the phone as a self-defense mechanism to kind of go, okay, I got the answer I needed, their yak mouthing, I'm going to go ahead and I'm sorry I'm getting a text here so that they can go ahead and land the plane because I have a million other things to do than hear about all of the things. That's something I've had it with. You ask somebody a simple question, you want a simple answer, and they take the opportunity to give you a 10 paragraph answer. I've had it.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I've had it with Yak Mouth. That's the thing. I've done that to to people because it's like, if I say, how is your day or, you know, oh, I saw on Instagram that you got a new card. Do you like it? That's a yes or no. I don't need to know the gas mileage.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I don't need to know the interior colors. I don't need the features of the console. Like we're grandstanding Yak Mouth. It's an age old complaint. I've had it with it. I think the phone can be used as a weapon of self-defense against Yak Mouthism. And I think if you ask somebody a question and you get your answer, and then they go on and on and on, But here are the most selfish of all communicators. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:27 You ask them a question for an answer. And the answer involves present tense. And they start the answer five years before. The words. And they're holding you hostage through the entire ride, you know, the plane reaches peak altitude and then it starts going on as decent. And I'm just like, I think I'm just going to start doing this universally in listener. I'm like, doing my hand like it's an airplane and landing it.
Starting point is 00:04:58 I just think we have to start looking at people and just going, land the plane, answer the question. Nobody needs all of these extra details. And I think what's so breathtaking about it is how unaware these people are at these benign details. Can people not take more pride in answers? I think some people genuinely think that you want all the background information, but I have in conversations before, been like, yeah, I know you've told me that before,
Starting point is 00:05:31 what I'm asking about is now. I do that all the time. Yeah, I mean, I think sometimes you just have to say, I cut it to the chase. Speed it up, nobody wants to hear the history of all of this. Nobody cares, but you, I ask this simple question in present tense, and I need a present tense answer. I don't need to go back to the 80s
Starting point is 00:05:52 to start the answer of this question. Now, and you know, sometimes I just think, here's the deal. I don't really care about the answer anyway. So I just need to stop asking the questions and quit trying to be nice and just come off more bitchy. And just be like, you know what, I don't give a fuck what you have to say. I don't give a shit what happened.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I don't give a shit how you got in this situation. I just don't want to talk to you. That's right. That's the message from Judge Judy Diana today. Be meaner. Be meaner. It just saves more time. My serenity would be better if I just didn't try
Starting point is 00:06:28 to engage in stupid conversations. Be less nice. Listener. That is our message in today's podcast. Welcome to I've had it podcast a podcast where we are promoting quick rapid fire questions followed up by quick rapid fire answers. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie. What is your nickname? Rapid fire Judge Say it. Say it. This is a lot of lolligagging for the answer. Say it. Judge Judy Diana. Dolly pumps.
Starting point is 00:07:10 That's good. That's all of them. That's good. That's good. Okay. I have to share something with the group before I kick this to Kylie. Somebody on Instagram sent me something that's rather alarming. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:24 It involves a gender reveal party. Okay. Okay. This was in People magazine and the headline is mom finds out she's expecting fourth daughter then burst into tears from in parentheses. We have a new disease guys. It's called gender disappointment. It's called gender disappointment. Ha ha ha ha ha. Gender disappointment is sweeping the country listener. And let me tell you what this says. This is such a jet stream of bullshit. I'm about to really go off on.
Starting point is 00:07:55 In a video shared on TikTok, Kendra Evans showed her emotional reaction after discovering that she was expecting her fourth daughter. In quote, after already having three amazing daughters, after discovering that she was expecting her fourth daughter." End quote. After already having three amazing daughters, it was only natural that I, of course, wanted a boy. Gender disappointment is real. For both mom and or dad, our feelings are valid as humans
Starting point is 00:08:20 and gender disappointment should be more normalized. Okay, Kendra, let me just explain to you something. From, I remember my psychology course that I took at the University of Oklahoma, narcissists see their children as an extension of themselves. Okay. By virtue of raw dogging, you've got two options of how that kid's gonna pop out And to sit there and be like talk to people magazine
Starting point is 00:08:52 about gender Disappointment It was likely to happen right 50% shot and here's the deal. I remember after I had my first child Dylan 50% shot. And here's the deal. I remember after I had my first child, Dylan. Second time around, I wanted a daughter. I was gonna name Roman Francesca and his nickname was gonna be Franci,
Starting point is 00:09:12 which is so cute. So cute. Anyway, we go to the ultrasound and there's some nuts, a little penis. And I was disappointed for about 2.5 seconds, but then I realized, I'm going to love this child no matter what, it doesn't matter what it is. And how selfish of me, like I wanted the girl for me, but this person is going to have its own life, its own identity
Starting point is 00:09:37 at some point. And this is what nature made. I mean, this is what happened. And I tried to get you pregnant with a girl. And I failed at sex. You were such a bad breeder with me. I was such, I mean, everything about it. I did everything right. But anyway, I digress. My point on that is, of course, if you have three girls and you get pregnant again, you might say, oh, I really want a boy, that seems normal. What is not normal is posting a video of yourself crying on TikTok, labeling it with a name, and then having that on the internet forever because at some point your daughter is going to see that
Starting point is 00:10:18 and think, boy, I'm a real disappointment to my mom and it's so unnecessary. She thinks that we need to normalize it. Normalize. Gender disappointment is real. Our feelings are valid as humans and gender disappointment should be more normalized. These are private feelings. These are what you say to your husband on the way home from the ultrasound or these are what you say amongst your girlfriends. But putting it on the internet and acting like it's some disease that we all need to start addressing is fucking horseshit. Like this is a marginalized group of people that
Starting point is 00:10:55 didn't get the gender that they idealized they would have before they raw-dogged. Give me a fucking break. I have had it if you're going to raw dog. That baby's going to come out with one of two different genitalia. What happens after that is what happens after that. But to have this level of selfishness about it is just come on. Don't have a baby then, or maybe go do IVF and pick the gender of your baby, or adopt the gender that you want, but to grandstand on TikTok and in people magazine with your disorder, you're non-disorder disorder. Non-disorder disorder, I have bloody had it enough.
Starting point is 00:11:48 And you know what this started with? Agenda reveal party. It started with a gender reveal that now we have a disease, a diagnosis that needs to be normalized because of the results of a gender fucking reveal party. We have been sounding the alarm from day one. Nobody will fucking listen to us because every time I'm on my phone, I see something about a gender reveal. Now this woman has a psychological disorder because of the results of her gender reveal and she's on some crusade to normalize having a daughter? Well, I have a new psychological disorder diagnosis for her.
Starting point is 00:12:32 And for all those people that want to talk about, I get having a bad feeling about, I'm not invalidating the feeling, I get that. I just think grandstanding about it on TikTok, but my new diagnosis for that disorder is stupid. So there, we can just put it in all the medical textbooks. Here you go. If you are grandstanding about that, you're stupid. And I'm very disappointed in people magazine. Too. For normalizing stupid. Right Right, agree. Could not agree more.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Kiley. Hi. Hi. What do you have for us? I have something that I think is going to have you just as mad. Oh, good. I'm always looking for new things to hate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:17 OK, good. I've got one for you. Good. So we all know Jennifer's had it with couples photos. Right. So some listeners have sent this new trend to me. Okay. And it's called a stranger photography session.
Starting point is 00:13:30 And so what they do is they take two strangers and they do a couple's photo shoot with them, like a blind date. They meet for the first time. And it's like really intimate photos. Like in bed, shirts off in a waterfall. Oh, yeah. Why?
Starting point is 00:13:47 That's a great question. Here's what I think. These people need to start volunteering, get a part-time job, do something productive because that shows a real, no question. But there's no question, but let's dive into how fucked up this is. So you've got two people
Starting point is 00:14:12 who solicits this. The photographer does like casting calls and people sign up for it. They get paid? No. Okay, so they sign up to be photographed and it's a boy and girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, what is it? I'm seeing a lot of boy, girl. Okay, so heterosexuals. Okay, that's probably the first red flag. Right. Okay. So they sign up and then they've never met. Correct. And then this is what is this called stranger photo shoot?
Starting point is 00:14:32 Stranger sessions. This photographer isn't an article saying that she wanted to do this because it brought her out of her comfort zone and she feels that she's capturing real raw emotion and that the cherry on top would be that she is playing cupid and hoping they get together. See, that was my question. So is it like a dating thing? She said that's not the goal. It's not the goal, but that's what she's hoping for.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I think it's just to do something trendy and stupid to add to the internet. But here's what I want to know. Get out of the comfort zone. Right. I would think that would maybe be photographing news. Right. Or something, I don't know. Something edgier than two white,
Starting point is 00:15:13 they look like suburban type white people. They look a little bit country. Yeah. Yeah. I just think couples photos are already unbearable enough. Imagine doing it with a stranger. I think you could do like a breakout, find a breakout pose that's not so cheese-bally.
Starting point is 00:15:30 That's getting out of your comfort zone. Bringing strangers together to do the same old shit that married people do, I just don't find that exciting. And I'm mostly judging the strangers that do it, that sign up for this. I judge all equally. Yeah, I talk about for thinking that this is like groundbreaking photography to where
Starting point is 00:15:50 if the layman looks at it without context, it looks like any other trashy, predictable couples photo. So it's not that unique in that sense if it looks the same. And then the couples that sign up for this, maybe they are wanting to meet people. That's what I'm thinking. in that sense if it looks the same. And then the couples that sign up for this, maybe, maybe they are wanting to meet people. That's what I'm thinking. They're hoping it ends in like true love.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Okay, I have to ask just because I'm an asshole. Are they attractive at all? By my standard, no. Okay, absolutely not. Okay, the pictures just make me really, I don't know if it's because I know they're strangers, but here's one of them, shirtless and a waterfall splashing water. No. Embracing. Here's one of a couple in bed with no only undergarments on. That's gross. It's weird. It's weird. And the only thing that's unique about this is they don't know each other. Correct. Which is basically any Calvin Clyde ad.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Right. You know what I mean? It's basically any photo shoot before. Right. It's like we got model A, she's female, model B, y'all get together, I like your feckin' makin' out and we're gonna slap our perfume bottle behind it and sell this and put it in vogue. This is like the Facebook version of that. Right. Dang.
Starting point is 00:17:10 People are bored. Just get on a dating app. Oh, yeah, get on something. Yeah. Build a house for habitat for humanity. I mean, don't you think this is like, there's so, like, there's been so much done on social media that somebody's trying to crack the case and do something new They're running out of ideas. Yeah, they're just running out of ideas. We've got gender disappointment With stranger couples photos right both of these things mean
Starting point is 00:17:44 Absolutely nothing gender disappointment gender disappointment shove up your ass just get over it you'll be over in 15 minutes don't document it for humanity forever did and sit down interview with people magazine the more I think about it the more I fault've fought people magazine. Totally. You know, I mean, it's like, if she wants to put on TikTok and make herself look like a total dick, her business, she wants to explain it and therapy for 20 years, swing for the fences. But people magazine must be desperate to. Yeah. Because that's just a real lack of content. Yeah. I just, I think what surprises me most about all of this is the lack of shame.
Starting point is 00:18:30 The lack of shame, you know, it just, like, she's probably screenshot it and shared that people mad at me saying that it's everywhere. I can't, everybody. And then this photographer that has this great idea of photographing people, she doesn't know well, which I'm sorry, I would say with the exception of nature photographers, all photographers, dude, it's just like, come on, just like, hey, look, the internet's chock full of all these great ideas, dating shows and all these naked dating shits going crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So I thought, you know, I'm gonna try it with photography. I would appreciate that more. Right. Now it's just, it's bad ideas after bad idea, after bad idea. Stupid people doing stupid things, diagnosing themself with imaginary disorders. Right. I mean, it's just, it's rampant. You know, I have a new disorder.
Starting point is 00:19:22 What is it? Best friend sexual orientation disappointment. Can you get people magazine? Let's normalize this. I want to normalize. I want to normalize best friend sexual orientation disappointment. And I want people magazine, vanity fair.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Throw us back on the today show, because this needs to be normalized, because I can't be feeling this in a vacuum. Right, and we should get the photographer to come take some photos of us. Yes, that's exactly what we need to do. See how much better our ideas are than those, our non-ideas.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I mean, that really would be funny. It'd be great. But see, you know what, this is probably exactly what they thought. That's so all that idea started. You just, and then you play the tape through and you start posting it and it is fucking right, getting ripped on some podcast somewhere
Starting point is 00:20:20 by two fucking loud mouth, Yak mouse. Yes, hypocrites. Okay. I'm wearing my two-fuckin' loud mouth, Yak Mouse. Yes, hypocrites. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha. Okay.

Let's welcome without further ado, Renee Stubbs. Pumps after we made this podcast, so many of our listeners wanted us to sell merch, which we were like, that's great. We'll do that. But then there was this huge gap in how on earth, do we get that on a computer to inventory it,

I am great. I'm fantastic and thank you for inviting me. I'm very excited to be here. I want to just press this by saying that my girlfriend is obsessed with you guys. So when I told her I was doing this podcast, I don't think she's not into hyperbole.
Starting point is 00:22:28 She's really not into jumping through loops for anyone, but she almost died when I tell her I was doing it. So you're a welcome people. I love that you're on here because she is the biggest tennis fan and has been a Renee Stubbs fan since I've known her. So this is a real treat. Thank you. And I have to tell the listener, you should do a little Google because not only is Renee Stubbs like totally hot, you have
Starting point is 00:22:52 mean God, your girlfriend's a total babe. She'll love to hear this. She'll be dying when she hears this. So thank you for that. I don't need to buy her anything anymore. Okay, we have got to talk about your petty grievances, which I hear are abundant. So just right out of the gates, what have you had it with Renee? Well, listen, I don't know if this is a me problem or this is just a general problem, but I don't understand how people go to the bathroom. My workmates are going to die when they hear this because every day, I'm like, what woman goes to the toilet and leaves a stall in a public area and doesn't check the seat and doesn't
Starting point is 00:23:30 check that they flush the toilet. Right. I don't get it. Why do you not check your toilet seat and the toilet to make sure it's flush, to make sure it's wiped down? I mean, I am the type of person that if that pee is on that seat or hasn't been flush before I use it, I wipe it down before I use it. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:48 It's so annoying. It's so annoying. I don't know about you guys. That happened to me actually at the men's final of the US Open this year. I went in, somebody had just walked out and I'm not a Hever normally. I'm just a bear backer. I don't really worry about germs. And this woman had like done the whole toilet paper thing,
Starting point is 00:24:05 peed all over it and then didn't flush and just walked down like she was the queen of the world. And I was just like, what the fuck is wrong with you? That is so rude. Did you say that to her? No, because I didn't realize it until after she was in. And I was like, well, now I fucking have to have her. But I did take my foot and get all the pee and the toilet paper off. But I'm just like, that is so rude. Well, now I fucking have to have her, but I did take my foot and get all the pee and the toilet paper off. But I'm just like, that is so rude.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Okay, so you go on my side, which is I have to now clean up your mess before anyone else comes in behind me and thinks, I'm the one that's done and left it. I am so annoyed for you. That's what I'm talking about. That is so inconsiderate. I've never gone out of a stall and not turned around and gone,
Starting point is 00:24:44 yep, yep, we're all good, and then leave. I just, it boggles my mind. That is one of several grievances in my life, but that one really, really pisses me off. No, it really pisses me off too, because you want to go in and see that somebody has taken the care to literally clean up their shit. And when it's not, when it is not, it's so frustrating because we have a social contract that you're supposed
Starting point is 00:25:10 to go in, wipe up your stuff, and then the other person going, and the most egregious of all of these restrooms, Renee, is the airplane bathroom. Yeah. Yes, yes, the worst, the absolute worst. I've never gone into a public stall in an airport and not had to encounter No, can't get that go into the next all it's like I It's your it's your like little place to go To take care of your business and take care of it and leave it the way that you think it should be left
Starting point is 00:25:41 Right, I just boggles my mind and so I wanted to just to get this out to all the women in the world, clean your fucking stall before you leave it. Thank you very much. And I beg you. I beg you. It literally takes two more seconds. Right. It's two more seconds to wipe down the seat, flesh,
Starting point is 00:26:00 make sure everything has made it down the drain before you exit. Yeah, I will stand on those automatic fleshyres. I will stand and make sure it automatically fleshyres before I leave. Yeah. Yeah, and have you done it where it's like flush while you're in mid-peas? Yeah. And the hover because I do not like sitting on any public toilet for lots of reasons.
Starting point is 00:26:19 But I'm a hover and I sometimes I'm pe pee and it anticipates that I'm getting up. So it flushes and I'm like, oh shit, no pun. But it's now gone. And now I'm like, oh my god, now I'm like waving my hands and my body and making sure like that thing flushes again, it doesn't I would stand in there for five minutes until it does. No, I agree. And I'm I also hover. I don't bear Pumps does. I mean, I have to hover. I feel like you get a good quad workout, a good glue workout, and you pee. But let me tell you, as a hover, sometimes some pee gets on the seat.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Right. And what do I do? And what does Renee Stubbs do? We get toilet paper and we wipe down the seat in case a bear backer comes in behind us so that they don't have to sit in our piss. Isn't that right? As a hoverer, I prepare the seat for a bear backer comes in behind us so that they don't have to sit in our piss. Isn't that right? As a hoverer, I prepare the seat for a bearbacker. All hoverers should prepare to be followed up by a
Starting point is 00:27:12 bearbacker. Agree? Agree. And sometimes, you know, we can't control that stream. It doesn't go straight sometimes. It happens life is just it's not fair sometimes. Exactly. If that does happen life is just it's not fair sometimes. Exactly. But if that does happen, just, it's not even about leaving it for the bearbacker gross, but it's about just getting that pee off the sea. It's disgusting and plushing it. Just double flush if you have to. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:39 There you go. I completely agree. I mean, I think we've all probably walked into these bathrooms and it is a war zone. It's awful. Oh So it's awful. It's just absolutely terrible. Okay, Renee, I want to move into. I did a deep dive on your Twitter and I have to give you some major props because I love people that stand for something and are not afraid to stand up for what's right.
Starting point is 00:28:04 And on your Twitter feed, you go after Trump, which is one of our favorite past favorites topics, is to do some gratuitous Trump bashing. You also go after Fox News, and I often think about Rupert Murdock. He's Australian and you're Australian. And I have some questions about this. So in Australia, do you all have, sometimes I watch these religious cult documentaries,
Starting point is 00:28:30 and it's some random guy from Australia. And I always think in my mind, I thought America got all the crazy Bible thumpers, but it seems like Australia has some crazy shit going on down there too. Yeah, I mean, if you don't heard hilsome, that's the documentary. Yes. That comes from the board people out Westings Sydney. They thought, why don't we have a super church and then take all its money? And then by the way, have our own it be a little dodgy. And that's what I call him. I call him a known one because
Starting point is 00:28:57 that's what they do. They're all about just reaping in the cash. Right. We have a lot of crazies. I mean, Rupert Murdock, it's so sad that this like conglomerate of a human being who's like literally one of the wealthiest men in the world and has made, you know, has done some amazing things as far as like, you know, his wealth, et cetera, has just ruined the friggin' world. I mean, it's amazing to me. I do, do you guys ever go like CNN, MSNBC, then over to Fox and see like what they're all talking about at the same time,
Starting point is 00:29:30 because I do it as a sport and it makes me laugh so much. Same. I'm just like, it's like, do you guys not know, like it can be like, woo, breaking news and something horrific that's just happened like when it comes to Trump
Starting point is 00:29:42 and over on Fox, they're like literally talking about, you know, Hunter Biden, I'm like, I'm like, the guy with a crack head, he fucked up. I mean, are you kidding? Like, honestly, anyway, it's just, it blows my mind. So my knowledge of Australia is somewhat limited because I am a ethnocentric American as we were raised to be. But I do know that there was a mass shooting in Australia.
Starting point is 00:30:11 And immediately afterwards, they rounded up all the guns and imposed very strict gun laws. I do know that they were very serious about COVID protection. So it seems like there is a rational hold in the government in places, despite producing, you know, the Hillsong guy and I mean, every country produces a few crazies and Rupert Murdoch. But is politically, is Australia, do you have this type of crazy that's going on in Australia that you have in the United States, or are we the lucky ones that get to have all of this fucking bat shit stuff going on?
Starting point is 00:30:48 Oh no, we now that I live here, we are the lucky ones here. We get all the crazy. But yeah, I mean in Australia, like that happened at Port Phillip Bay when a guy just decided to be a little psycho and take a, you know, assault weapon and kill way too many people on an island down in Tasmania. And so the government, literally in the government at the time that that happened was basically the GOP. It was a labor government in Australia, which is very pro guns, etc. And literally the next day he was like, all right, we cannot have assault weapons.
Starting point is 00:31:19 So they rounded up what they said, we'll buy them all back. And clearly some people probably didn't give them back, but most did. And now it's against the law to have an assault weapon in Australia. And not only that, it's like, I don't even know where to buy a gun in Australia. Like legit, I have no idea where you would even buy a gun. Whereas here, you guys walk into a wall mountain,
Starting point is 00:31:39 be like, hey, listen, I feel a little pissed off. I just lost my job. Can I get one of those? Like, it's insane how easy it is to order a gun online even in this country. So in Australia, we have an even COVID. I think the thing about Australia is that we actually genuinely sort of care for one another.
Starting point is 00:31:57 And we're kind of like, listen mate, if you don't get your shit together, we're all going down here. And it's like, oh, I'll get my shit together. It's just the way it is. I mean, we had that two week quarantine. I mean, I was in a hotel room for two weeks, couldn't leave, couldn't open up my window,
Starting point is 00:32:11 didn't have a window to open up, didn't have a balcony. So I'm stuck in a hotel for two weeks. But you know what, when you got out, we're like, we can party now. I mean, it's just, we just have a very different, I think upbringing as well of, look, we've got to help each other out in the end. I mean we're in Ireland, we're fucked if we get to come to me. Do you know,
Starting point is 00:32:29 Renee? Pumps and I live in Oklahoma City and in Oklahoma City a- Oh yes, where I've lived for two years of my life. Really? You lived in Oklahoma City? I lived in Edmund. Shut up! What were you doing here? You know, why would anyone live in the Oklahoma City? A girl. Yeah. Love. Lesbian love and the Oklahoma suburbs by Renee Stubbs.
Starting point is 00:32:59 That was me. Oh, yeah. But you know, here in Oklahoma City, a girl can go by an assault rifle, but if she's raped, she cannot go get an abortion. Right. How fun top is that? Yeah, I mean, maybe what's going to happen at some point is the women that cannot have an abortion will go and get a gun and shoot all the people
Starting point is 00:33:27 that are making those rules because she's gonna lose her mind. I mean, it's insane to me. This country is so fucked up with its rules. Like, you can't drink until you're 21. Like, what, how dumb is that rule? Like, honestly, and not only can you not drink when you're 21, but you can vote.
Starting point is 00:33:42 So you're smart enough apparently to vote. You're apparently tough enough and like, got all the way to go to war at 18. You go, you know, shoot some people. But yeah, hold on a second, you're not allowed to have a drink. I'm like, wait, what? That makes zero sense to me. Right. It's like, what's safer about an AR-15 versus a can of beer.
Starting point is 00:34:07 I mean, that just makes no sense because you can buy the weapons of war easy, greasy, tin stops. Not to mention all the criminal charges related to people in college that are from 18 to 21 that go to college and then they get fake IDs because they want to be able to go out and drink. So then they get charged with felony for having a fake ID or they get charged with, you know, minor in possession. And it's, you know, our criminal system is so fucked up. And these are basically teenagers, young adults doing exactly what they're supposed to do is go drink, making laws preventing them from doing this.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And it just, it's sort of refreshing to talk to somebody who sees and believes exactly the way we do Renee. Okay. Renee, I want to do, we're going to play a game with you in a minute. But before we do that, this, I read an article yesterday that I'm kind of obsessed with and it's called the anti bucket list. Okay. So I'm going to start first with what might would be number one on my Anti-becket list and we'll go around I want everyone to share so number one on my anti-becket list is going on a
Starting point is 00:35:13 all-inclusive Carnival cruise with three thousand people That is my anti-becket list. That's number one. I don't like group activities I don't want anything to do with that. Many people out on a boat. That's number one on my anti-bucket list. What about you, Pumps? I think mine would be Burning Man or any other type of musical, music festival that had porta-potties outside for days, no indoor plumbing, no air conditioning, smelly people. I'm out on all that burning man. For a lot of people, that's their bucket list.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I know, but that's your anti-bucket list. Okay, Renee, what's your number one anti-bucket list? Oh my God, going on a cruise, I almost died when you said that. There is, I call it the largest floating p-tree dish. It's so gross. I don't understand why people want to go on a cruise. And I mean, me going, like, I love New York City and the one thing that I'm like almost bath at
Starting point is 00:36:14 every time I walk in there is the buffets, right? And they just sit there for like 10 hours, just stealing in themselves. And I'm like, does someone really come in here and just go, yep, I'm going to eat that. I'm going to scoop it in and I'm going to take that home and enjoy it. Like, oh, my god, I'd rather die.
Starting point is 00:36:30 So the thought of going on a cruise and having a buffet like that is just insanity to me and share the pool. And no, no, and like, no. Like, I am so anti-cruise. I'm with you girl. I'm very. Although the burning man thing kind of grossed me out as well, but at least there I'd probably be really high.
Starting point is 00:36:54 That's, I mean, the drugs are definitely superior. I don't know that there's a bottle of pills big enough that could get me through a cruise. I just do not think that I could do it. I, you know, you hear about people that go missing from cruise ships, I would be that person. I think, you know, I've never really had suicidal ideation, but I think it could lead me to that. I have whore all you can eat by face. I think it's a terrible idea to suggest all you can eat. And a floating cruise ship is just chock full of bad ideas
Starting point is 00:37:27 in my opinion. And I don't want any part of it, none. You're all on right there with you, no chance. Can you imagine, even, and then if you, like, somebody or a couple of people like pissed you off and like, you followed you around on a cruise ship and you just like, I can't even, I can't even leave this place.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Like, yeah, I'm stuck. Yeah, it would be terrible. You know, you know, can I like take one of those floating little boat things and just like, click the rope and like jump in it and get the fuck out of it? I don't know. I'm emergency, emergency.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Like, I was frantic. Like, I was frantic. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. Now we're going to play a game with you called had it or hit it. If you don't like something, you will say you've had it. And game with you called had it or hit it. If you don't like something, you will say you've had it
Starting point is 00:38:07 and if you like it, you'll hit it. Oh my God, welcome to had it or hit it. I would hit it. I would have had it. I hit it every day sometimes twice a day. Had it or hit it, Botox. No, no, no, hit it. Not too much, but hit it.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I like the more the better. I like, I like a little bit. It's not enough. I like a lot. You know where I've had it recently and it's life changing and I'm going to tell us to anybody who has this issue in my armpits. Oh my god, life changing. Really about the sweating? Yes, life changing. So for people out there that sweat in their armpits and people like that's disgusting and gross, it's not, it happens all the time to women and men. And when you work on TV and you have a colored shirt on, trust me when I tell you, having Botox in your armpits has like changed my life.
Starting point is 00:38:56 That is a great tip. I just recently heard about that and I've heard great things about it. So I'm glad to hear you say that. Nothing happened in here. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha a lot of them hit it with all my friends because I love St. P. I love certain areas. I have a lot of friends who live down in Florida who vote the way that I would. And so I hit it for the sun and the love and of my friends, but I've had it with the government. I agree. I agree. I agree. Rhonda Santis is just not likable. What's up with those shoes? What's up with
Starting point is 00:39:41 the heels? What's up with boots? Like now people are thinking that he's like got a platform in there. Have you noticed? Yeah, he definitely has a platform in there because I think he's shorter than his wife. I don't think he's very tall. It's a it's a short man thing. It's a little dick and a shale boot. It is. It is this little and he's trying to be so folksy and American by wearing his cowboy boots. But if he's not. No, he's not any went to like Yale or something. Right. I'm like, how does somebody that is Ivy League educated such a fucking fascist? I mean, just so I mean, such a waste of the time that he spent to learn about the world and open his mind.
Starting point is 00:40:24 And he goes back and he's mad about gay people and Disneyland. And the clock can get over it. You know what, here's the thing. I want to see his Google search history, right? People that are very anti-gay, I think that I want to see their Google search history because I'm thinking Renee that when rubber is the road,
Starting point is 00:40:43 he might be thinking about penises sometimes. That's what all I'm thinking Renee that when Robert is the road, he might be thinking about penises sometimes. That's what Oliver's saying. That's right. If you're screaming at him, when that rubber gets put on that road. There is no doubt that he has, I mean, look, he's just got a punchable face. Let's face it. I mean, the guy is gross. He's gross because he knows better,
Starting point is 00:41:04 but he's using this white. He's face it. I mean, the guy is a gross. He's gross because he knows better, but he's using this white. He's a way all these guys get coming out as white supremacists. They're afraid of immigrants. They're afraid of gay people. They're afraid of anyone that doesn't like look like them. Okay. Had it or hit it, Taylor Swift. Oh, hit it. Come on. I love Taylor Swift. I have to say. I on. I do too. And it's a funny thing because I've said this to so many people. I want to hate Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Like I want to dislike her so much. I want to be like, oh, she's so annoying. She's everywhere, twisty, swifty. But I'm like, I love her music. Like I remember seeing her one time on the voice, and she's like just praising this person who was singing. Like, my god You've got the most amazing voice. I wish I could seem like that
Starting point is 00:41:48 But I write a hell of a hook and I thought that's true. She just her music. She writes it. She writes from her heart She writes such interesting like fun lyrics. I'm just like all right. I'm I'm in fuck it. I've given up. I'm trying to hate her She's worn me down She's worn me down with hit after hit after hitting hit. I love that your default setting is like intellectually, I know I should hate her and I'm going to try. But then you just finally were acquiescing her like, okay, I have to like her because my default setting is similar.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Like, I know I shouldn't like this cheesy shit, but I just can't help it. I do. I started watching the Golden Bachelor last night. Did you? Oh, no. Oh my god. It is everything that I should hate.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I'm only one episode in. And I'm like, so proud of these women and this guy and his little hearing aids. And I'm thinking, they're thinking, what the fuck is happening to me? This I should not be watching this. This is terrible When is the next
Starting point is 00:42:54 I mean, it's not my demo I'm not into the old fellas Okay, Renee, last one. Had it or hit it, pickleball. Oh God, I hate it. I'm getting this is going to be controversial for you, especially you, Jen. But I hate pickleball. It's so dumb. It's like just play, tennis, go and you know why people love pickleball, especially this is gonna be upsetting to you
Starting point is 00:43:26 Yeah, I can take it like like like like It's I could play pickleball with my frying pan like Which is why people like I got a love pickleball. That's because you're standing there just popping this plastic little thing Off a stupid like bat. It's like go on play tennis, learn how to play and run. Okay, for the elderly, I think it's great to get them out there and just, go, go, at least they're standing doing something. Even though I would argue and say
Starting point is 00:43:54 that it's not that good for you because you're bending and your knees and your back, go for a walk. Like honestly, go for a walk if you want exercise and get a group together because I hear this all the time, people are like, oh my God, but it's so great. We all get together and we drink and have a good time.
Starting point is 00:44:06 It's like, we can do that with a walk too. I need you to go to a park and throw the footy around, as we say, but I don't know. I'm just, no. And it's stealing tennis courts away from tennis players. And for us, particularly in New York, like whether it's only a few tennis courts and then it gets overrun by people in pickable.
Starting point is 00:44:23 And then noise, the noise. Oh my God, don't talk to Judy Gold about it. She will give you a full dressing down about how much she hates football. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather play pickleball? I'm talking about four hours and one day match game after game after game or go to dinner with Ron DeSantis for two hours. Oh my God. I would. Whatever it took, I would be severely on either mushrooms or a lot
Starting point is 00:45:00 of weed. And then I could do it. And I would you would just I would just pick which one out of the hat. Although it was a distance for two hours, I could record it and hopefully get him on the recorder, on a voice message or something saying something controversial and be his downfall. Well, I love it.
Starting point is 00:45:22 That's using your time wisely. Renee, thank you so, so much for joining us. You are so welcome, guys.

Starting point is 00:45:49 I was like, she kind of makes me want to be a lesbian. She's hot. She's hilarious. She's smart and Australian accent. How can you go wrong? If she didn't have such a hot lesbian girlfriend right now, you'd push me. Why don't you, she can move back to Oklahoma City for round two with pumps. And it's so weird because I've watched her on ESPN forever.
Starting point is 00:46:10 So it's just like, I feel like now she's my friend. She is our friend. Renee Stubbs is our friend. She's a former Oklahoma. That's right. Yeah. She is. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:22 landing. This is my friend Kyle McGlockland, the star of Twin Peaks, and he's telling me about how he discovered a real life Twin Peaks in rural North Carolina, not far from where he filmed Blue Velvet. What was on the plane was copious amounts of drugs coming in from South America. Supposedly, Pablo Escobar went looking for other spots, quiet, out of the way places to bring in his cocaine. For other spots, quiet, out of the way places to bring in his cocaine. My name is Joshua Davis, and I'm an investigative reporter. Kylin, I talk all the time about the strange things we come across, but nothing was quite
Starting point is 00:47:55 as strange as what we found in Varnhamtown, North Carolina. There's crooked cops, brother against brother. Everyone's got a story to tell, but does the truth even exist? Welcome to Varnam Town. Varnam Town is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
