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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Pumps today, we have an amazing guest.
She is a former professional tennis champion.
She is Serena Williams, former tennis coach.
She is from Australia.
She is a drop-dead, gorgeous gay woman
who's sassy AF on Twitter. Fisty as you can
be. Sharp is a tech. 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,
to take a record of the sale, to ship it to them?
I honestly don't know what we would have done
without Shopify.
Shopify made it so easy for us.
It's such a great platform.

what stage you're in that shopify to I've had it a place to air petty grievances. The
petier, the better. How are you today? 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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
That's using your time wisely.
Renee, thank you so, so much for joining us.
You are so welcome, guys. I'm very happy that I was able to make Michael friend streams
come true. Tell her we think she's a total babe. Right. We loved having you on. You're so
much fun. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. See you later. I mean, I love her nice stuff. She's the best.
I mean, she's so much fun.
What about the accent?
God, that's halfway through.
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.
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.
She is a badass.
She is a total badass.
She's smart.
How much do you like that accent?
Oh God.
It's a 10 out of 10.
Renee, I'm just telling you, if you in that hot piece of ass,
young girlfriend that you have,
ever break up, and we're not supporting that because I support the relationship you're in.
For sure.
I totally think pumps his gay, and I think you could do Oklahoma City round two.
We'll talk about it later.
Listener, please go to Apple Five Star Review,
Patreon, lots of fuckery going on there.
Hot shit tour. Hot shit tour is...
Hot shit. Yeah.
Go to give us Instagram,
Voicememes. Yes.
And we will see you next Tuesday,
or Thursday, or both.
I'll tell you what I've had it with.
Cheers!
I'm gonna have it with that.
Sometime in the early 80s, Aureo Speedwagon's airplane made an unannounced, middle of the night
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
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?
