So we're supposed to start the podcast. Ready, one, two, three. Patriots, gay, treats, they treats, black treats, brown treats, and everyone else can. Fuck off. Okay, welcome to America's top DEI podcast. Kylie is sitting in Jennifer's seat because Kylie is patient zero. Kylie was out sick last week and now she has spread her typhoid. sickness to Jennifer and to Ryan. So thank you, Kylie, that I'm in Oklahoma City and not with you. So

Kylie, what have you had it with? Okay, what I've had it with is overactive listeners. This is something that's been happening to me. Okay, so can we role play? Yeah. Okay, so tell me a story. Okay, so I was walking my dog and took a giant, dump. Right. So I picked that dump up. And then Chile took a giant dump. Yeah. So then I had only one back. Right. So I had to go

and go back and get a new one and keep doing it. So you're like the active... The whole time you talk, every little thing they react to, I cannot stand it. See, I'm an active listener. Do I drive you crazy? You don't do it out loud.

Like on this podcast, you're not just the whole time Jennifer's telling a story. interjecting little, yeah, right. Sometimes I am. Sometimes I'm an interruptor. I try not to be, but it's bad. I'm an interruptor. It's hard.

So is there a fine line between interrupter and active listener? Yes, I think that's a big difference. Like, I think just learn to nod if you just really want to let them know you're listening, but like I do not need that active of a listener. It's distracting to me. You know what I do sometimes, though,

and this is really, bad. I will nod. And I'm constantly giving off like an affirmation. I'm with you. And in my head, I have no fucking idea what they're talking about. I'm like doing something else, thinking about something else. Like they could be bringing me in on a conspiracy of some criminal enterprise. And I would not know it because I am blessed with such an ability to not even know what's happening around me. You know, I've had my new car for two years. and one of our listeners, Joe Estrada, he set me up with it, right? So about two weeks ago, I realized I had a sunroof.

So I've had this car for two years. What? And I never knew I had a sunroof. So I texted him and I was like, oh my gosh, I just realized I have a sunroof. And he was like, how the fuck did you miss that? And I'm like, I have such a great ability to ignore everything that's going on around me and sit in my own head. You do. Honestly, on this podcast sometimes, I'm thinking about what I'm going to say next. And so I won't be listening to you guys at all on accident. And then I'll hear my name.

Kylie, what do you think about that? I'm like, uh, I agree. We have no clue what anyone's saying. I'm the worst about that. Okay, here's something that happened. We were, uh, Jennifer and I were getting interviewed by some like Washington Post, like a real magazine, like a real magazine, like a real newspaper. I mean, Washington Post, you could debate, but it was a real interview. And it had gone on for like an hour. And then she

exactly what you said happened. I'm thinking like, oh my gosh, what do I have to do next? Do I have to bathe the dogs tonight? Like, I'm just going over something else. And she asked me the question and I just had to look at her and say, I am so sorry. My mind wandered. Can you repeat the

question? And I'm sure she was like, you're the biggest fucking dumb ass. And I'm sure she was like, you're the biggest fucking dumb ass. But I mean, I just like my attention span and I'm not even a Gen X or what am I? I'm a Gen Xer. Boomer. Right? Not a boomer.

What's older than Boomer? Oh my God. Speaking of that list. Oh my God. Okay. So I have to get up super, super, super early to walk my dogs in the morning on the weekend. So I mean, I'm like five o'clock. I'm walking through my neighborhood.

So I walked everybody. Then I dropped them off and I thought, you know, I'm craving. an I-Hop pancake. So you like I-Hop, right? Huh? You like I-Hop, like a lot. I love I-Hop because I like the pancakes. Like with the butter, like I want extra butter, no syrup.

So I go into I-Hop or order my pancakes. Everything's hunky-door. I'm like, and I'm in and out in 20 minutes. Like this is the fastest meal of my life, which is an A-plus-plus. I get my check and it was $6 because she'd gave me the senior discount and did not tell me the senior, I was just like, oh no. Are you fucking kidding me?

I didn't ask for the senior discount. As much Botops as I have, I was really kind of halfway pissed off at my injector girl, that this woman just automatically gave me the senior discount at IHOP, which is the old people capital of the world. What is this? Is it 65? No, I think it was 60 at IHop, but I got the senior discount. And I just want everybody to know, I don't get it at the movie unless I ask for it, which I do not ask because I would rather pay the two extra dollars. Did you pay more than $6?

I would just pay out of like principal extra. No, but I did. I mean, this is mixed messages, but since my meal was only $6, I gave her a $6 tip. So she's probably thinking, oh my gosh. gosh, great. She was so happy I gave her the senior discount, which really I'm not happy about, but I actually did get a $6 senior menu at IHOP without asking. So that tells you how fucking great I looked after I took the dogs. And it's like 630 in the morning and I'm rolling out on a Saturday. Yeah, but I was just really, I guess in your mind, you always look better

than what you actually look. Because for years, I mean, still to this day, I do not have have an attorney pass into the courthouse. I stayed in line with the criminals because I feel like I'm younger and cuter than what I reflect in pictures. So I refuse to do that. You are so young and cute, though. So young and cute. Okay, let me tell you what I've had it with. Speaking of old people things. Okay. Okay, we've talked about prank calls. Everybody knows. Everybody hates a prank call. Got it. In the last six months, I have gotten three, count and three phone calls from a cruise line and they get hostile. You haven't taken advantage of your ship.

Our ship's going to leave without you if you don't do. And I'm just like, bitch, I've never been on a cruise. Why do you have my number? And they're very threatening. Like the one I got like two days ago, I felt like it was almost a threat. You're not coming on our cruise. Like they're aggressive. And I'm just like, is this why old people end up?

on so many cruises is because they feel threatened. They get bullied. I was going to say, I feel like there's a through line between these two stories you just told. I feel like you're on maybe an AARP call list. I am because listeners signed me up for it, Kylie. I know for that. I think that's for this group. Magazine.

Thank you very much. I think that's how they got your number. Yeah, but I'm just like, who would go on a cruise after they threatened to you on your cell phone? Like, it's all the bad things I hate. And no number on my phone. Voicemail. Threatening voicemail and cruises. I've seen the poop cruise on Netflix.

I've seen how bad a cruise can go. And I'm out. I never go on one. Never. I will say this. I did go when I was like 25. I went with my grandmother because she was like 90. And she couldn't.

And we did Alaska. And it was really nice. And I would just go do all the excursions. And she sat down the ship. So that was nice to go with her. Because I think you get a certain age, you really can't travel, travel. You know, there are people, we might have covered this on the show, but there are like retirees now that instead of going to an old people's home, they're on a permanent cruise. They live on the ship.

I can't imagine anything worse, especially after like that poop coming down the walls. It's euthanasia, basically. It is euthanasia. Okay. Yeah, we've got Ryan here. Oh. Ryan, what have you had it with other than Kylie getting you sick? Well, yes, I've definitely had it with that.

I will say I've been sitting over here really shaking because for the first few minutes of this recording, I was going over the news stories. And then I realized that there was some kind of had it about active listening. And I thought that I was going to be called out. And you guys were going to ask me my opinion about it. And I was going to have no fucking cool what to say. I have had it with moving. I moved this past weekend and I truly would not wish it on my worst enemy, maybe MAGA, but that's literally it.

So I moved in. I'm moving in with my boyfriend for the first time. What's just exciting? Which is exciting. but I have a really negative attitude about moving. Every time I moved in the past five years, especially in New York City, has been the worst day of the year every time.

And, you know, I decluttered. I threw away, you know, half of my stuff because we're moving into a smaller apartment. We're downsizing one bedroom and had all my things packed ready to go. We pack up all my stuff first. and then we get to his apartment. And I will just say this in case he's listening.

I love you. But he did not, he like barely packed. He did not prepare at all. I get there. His bedroom looks basically the same as it usually does. And, you know, his family very graciously, we didn't hire movers. He's a very large family. And they are helping us to move.

And I just want to fucking lose it. But I know that I can't. I know that I need to keep my shit together. We got through the move. And then as soon as we finished, you know, unloading everything, not everything's put away. Both of us look at each other and we're like, I feel a tickle in my throat. And now we're both sick because of Kylie. Fucking Kylie.

Okay. Number one, I completely agree. Moving is akin. to torture. I mean, I would rather be hung up and waterboarded for 15 minutes than move. It is horrible. It really tests a relationship. Thankfully, all of our stuff is unpacked now. And, you know, it's very exciting. But, yeah, like I said, it is. I really wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. No, it's the worst. Okay. Ryan, here's something. thing that you and I have alike. I'm going to ask you a question. Then we're going to go to

Kylie. I know exactly what you're about to ask. Since it's kind of the newlywed game, since Ryan is the latest to the party. Okay, so Ryan, when you go on a trip and you come back, how soon after you get to your apartment do you unpack your suitcase? Oh, I wait. It'll wait. The luggage will wait in the suitcase. Like everything will wait in the suitcase, I'm so disappointed. For days, actually. Days? Yeah.

Yeah. No, it's not good. I don't know. There's something. It is unbelievable. And I know that that's a flaw of mine. I'm working on it. I'm not working on it.

Yeah. To be honest, I'm not working on it either. The first one of the podcast, we traveled to 10. And Kylie would not unpack her suitcase in between travels. So like three weeks? I was like half still packed by the next tour. Okay. And then, okay, but Kylie, when you moved to New York, and I'm not saying what Anna did,

because I know Anna would get everything done. But if you were by yourself and you moved to New York, how long would it take you to unpack your boxes? I was sitting here thinking, we might still have like a box or two unpack while you were talking. And we'd been here literally seven, six or seven months. Um, here's the thing. One thing I'm good at is knowing my weaknesses. So Ryan, I hired movers.

I heard I did white glove. I didn't have to do a thing because I wouldn't have done it correctly or at all. So I just, I know when to pay people to do the things I'm bad at. I will correct my statement. I said days. It's probably more like weeks. No, I like really organized. Like I'm very organized out of the suitcase and I just live out of it for about a week.

Here's the thing. Like if I open the suitcase, I have. to admit that I then have to like put everything away. And if I keep it closed, then it's almost as if it never happened and it's not there and I don't have to deal with it. So Ryan, you've got dirty underwear sitting in a closed suitcase for two weeks. Is that what you're telling me? On air to yeah, when you put it that way. On air. So everybody knows you have nasty underwear. When I travel, this is and especially when I had little kids, when I travel, when I land from the

airport, I get every single bit of my laundry done and put away before I go to bed. And if I get in at 3 a.m. I get the kids down. I could not go to sleep. Not granted, that was control issue city when I was married to a sociopath. But it just, I cannot even now, like this weekend I'm going to go out of town and everything when I get back will be in the laundry folded the whole nine before I go to bed that night. It grates on my nerves to have shit out of place. That's kind of the reason why having my kids at home from college, not everything's in its place all the time. I think I have serious OCD tendencies, not terrible, but I just like, just like a little order in my life. That makes sense from how your marriage went. I think maybe you crave a little bit of order. Let me tell you

this, Kylie, when I was married and had three kids, I would sweep and mop my floor two or three times a day. That's how big my control issues were. Yeah. You couldn't control the thing to me. I can control what's going on in my life. We had to control the floor. Okay. We've got some news stories today. Okay. Delish. And they're good ones, if I may say so. The first one is influencer 96, so around Pumps age, says retirement home threatened to kick her out for partying. Quote, I pay $12,000 a month. You can't stop me. This says TikTok influencer Grandma Droneack has more than 15 million followers on TikTok. A recent posts include Get Ready With Me videos for funerals and ranking the people she has outlived.

That is so badass that this 96-year-old woman has 15 million followers on TikTok. Do we have a video of her? We do, but we got to get through one more excerpt first. So this is more from the article. Says in the letter and quote formal warning, an employee from the retirement home wrote to Droneack, we are reaching out because there have been many noise complaints about your room. Parties are not allowed and you cannot serve alcohol to other residents.

This is a safety concern. While we encourage residents to socialize and enjoy community activities, we cannot have wild parties. It is shown on security footage that people were leaving your room at 1 a.m. once Tuesday. And it goes on to say, continued incidents of this nature may result in restrictions on visitors and common area privileges and could lead to further review of your residency status within the community. We kindly ask for your cooperation and ensuring future gatherings remain respectful of community rules and quiet hours, no party please please i actually um so back in the day before this podcast i used to DJ and in college my favorite DJ gig i ever did was at a retirement home in store at Oklahoma and they had their spring

formals and like their winter solstice dance and so i got to see some shit these people were sneaking in like little bottles of vodka that they would learn how to hide or their granddaughter would bring them in they're getting hammered they would come up and all these old men would come flirt with me. I mean, it was like the time of my life. These people get wild. Okay, I have so many questions about this. Okay, so this woman, is she, are the only people at her parties, like residents or are

the people coming out from the community coming in? I would imagine it's residents. I think they're residents. Yeah. Okay. In 96, like staying up to 1 a.m., that is like fucking goals right there. I mean, I can't stay up past 9. I mean, if I'm at past 9 p.m., something has gone horribly wrong with my life.

Like, I cannot believe she's saying, here's the deal. I just remember hearing this, and I was shocked, and I've heard it a million times since then. There are more STDs in a nursing home than in a college campus, which, given that I went to college, and I know a lot about STDs from that experience. I mean soup to nuts. Tell us more. Yeah, how much? I cannot. Okay, this is a funny story.

This is a super funny story. Okay, so there's a health clinic. It's called Goddard at OE. So if you go in, it allegedly is private, but they put it on your bill. So that sucks. Because then a parent's like, why are you getting tetracycling? Yeah, they're not supposed to do that. I know.

But, okay, so this is when I was in college. So HIPAA wasn't that great yet. Okay. So have a girlfriend. She comes in and she's like, I've got the clam. I've got the clam. And I was like, what is that? She's like chlamydia.

And I was like, oh, God. It was right before Christmas break. Okay. So she's dating this guy. They're not boyfriend, girlfriend, but they're dating. So she goes back home. She was from California. She goes back home to California.

Oh, and they give you some important part of the story. So they give you antibiotics. for yourself and partner. So the prescription bottle, I'll use my name, Angie Sullivan, Angie Sullivan, partner on the prescription. Okay, so this is important. So she goes back home for Christmas break. Now, her dad's a doctor.

So this is a real fate twist. So he's in her room welcoming her back. She has her antibiotics sitting there. It gets knocked off on the floor. He picks it up. and it's the partner medicine. So immediately announcing that she has an STD. So her dad goes, I guess whatever the prescription was,

it was like obviously for chlamydia. And he's like, oh, so you have chlamydia? God. Can you imagine anything worse? That might be my worst nightmare. I'm interested in the fact that they give you one for you and for your partner because I guess just using logic, of course, but I would imagine that you just having monogamous sex with your partner, you wouldn't acquire an SCD, so there would have to be some kind of third party involved.

Like, do you understand the line of logic I'm falling? So then there would have to be a- There really is no such thing as monogamy in my experience. It's kind of just a sex fest or a picture. Apparently, in these nursing homes, 96-year-old. So are you not allowed to have booze in a nursing home, I guess? No, you have to sneak it in. I think I would guess they maybe have like a red wine or something,

but they're sneaking in bottles. I actually have a video from Grandma Droneack. She's responding to the letter on TikTok. And you cannot serve alcohol to other residents. I just want to pause in for the listener. I just want to point out that grandma is wearing a t-shirt with an arrow pointing up at her face and on her boobs it says eyes up here. Better serves as a formal warning.

I could do what I want. I pay $12,000 a month to live here. I could party if I want to. My girlfriends are coming over tonight. We're going to drink and gossip. It's not a party, but we do get rowdy. I can't help it. I love to party.

You can't stop me. I'm obsessed with her. I'm obsessed with her. I've never seen her. She's about to get 15.1 million followers. 15 million followers. Her get ready with me was kind of cute with her pick and her hair. Oh, she's doing the guasha.

She's like all up in on it. What's the guasha? Is that the like comb thing? The lymphatic drainage thing that, that TikTok influencers have made up, in my opinion? There's one more thing about this that I want to read. A rep for Grandma Droniac, so she has representation. She's got a manager and an agent.

Yeah. Sent in a statement to People magazine that this, quote, actually happened, and that the matter has since, quote, been resolved with her nursing home. The home is allowing her to still have people in her room until late. She just can't supply alcoholic drinks for the rep. I mean, she's 96 years old. She just let her do what she wants. Yeah, like she's made it this long.

And she's doing to get ready with me. Yeah. She's got game at 96. She has more game at 96 than I have at 56. Yeah. I mean, her mind's still with it. She, I think that sucks. I think these people do pay a lot to be in retirement homes.

Yeah, they do. Living out the rest of their lives, these places can be really fucking boring. I don't think that there should be that many rules. in my opinion. These are grown-ass people. I mean, they are fucking grown-ass people. I just wonder if it's just sex capades, if they're pulling trains and doing all that.

They are pulling trains. She also made a few videos about hooking up with your ex after you break up with them. And it shows her like in a car, in a car seat, you know, looking all sort of disheveled post hookup.

She's a baddie. In a car, 96-year-old grandma, within a car, banging it off. I can love that for her. Can you imagine if you go up to a car as a policeman and it's two 90-year-olds banging it out? Just leave them alone. I would absolutely let them have it.

Just keep walking. I got busted having sex in a car one time, and it was horrifying. To get trouble? Huh? No. They were just like, move on. And I was like, great.

But, I mean, you've never seen my ass moves so fast from hop on, I mean, hop off to ass in the passenger seat faster. I mean, it was like the speed of light because it was so humiliating. Pumps, I always, I love learning new stuff about you, just every episode. Yeah. I mean, so many things. I did have jello shots off my boobs in New Orleans once. You knew that.

You know what? In New Orleans, they'll put a tube between their breasts with a jello shot in and they'll come up to you and they were like, we were there. And they forced you to take it. And you're like, ha, ha, okay, fun. And then they put their hand out and they're like, K, $12. Oh, yeah, no. We were getting grifted by boob jello shots.

This was back when the Sack and Dragons were, I mean, they were rocks. They were ready to party. They were, I mean, it was like, I won't pay you to see those beauties. All right, listener, summer is upon us. And I know a lot of you are wanting to plan vacations, but now you're like, God, can I afford it? Well, here's what I want to talk to you about.

I've had it with people pretending America was founded as some kind of religious nation. We literally fought a war to get rid of a king who claimed God made him boss and then

wrote a constitution with no mention of God, not one. No religious tests, no state religion, separation of church and state on purpose. That's the history. But now we've got people trying to to blur that line everywhere in schools, in laws, in politics, like freedom only belongs to certain people. Nope. The Freedom from Religion Foundation is fighting back, protecting the First Amendment because it protects everybody's freedom of conscience.

This one is from Rolling Stone, I believe, and it says AI chatbots let people keep dead loved ones alive, should they? By feeding in digital data, AI can create a facsimile for people to interact with, but some believe a tool to help with grief could backfire. And it goes on to say, memory preservation has long been a part of tech's business model. Now as the digital legacy market is expected to reach 78.98 billion by 2034, there's a small but growing cohort of digital afterlife firms that provide users with interactive AI-powered tools meant to preserve the memories and characteristics of a loved one post-mortem. As the tech becomes more accessible,

questions have emerged about its potential harms, consent, and who stands to benefit. Some startups, like Hereafter, AI, StoryFile, and Eternos offer services like video avatars, and conversational AI trained on a deceased person's data. Microsoft has patented a system to recreate people as interactive avatars, including those who have died. META has granted a patent that would use AI to simulate a deceased person's social media activity, although the company said it has no plans to move forward with it. Right.

Pomp's what do you think? Okay, I'm so torn on this. I don't know what I think. My biggest concern, I think, would be that if you still have a loved one and you continue to maintain a relationship with that loved one after they die, that precludes you for making relationships outside of the AI. So in that way, it's bad. But then I think if I lost a child and I could hear that child's voice every day and I could talk to that child, What? So I don't know. I'm so torn. Y'all are younger than me. What do you think? Kylie. I think I and I know this is like a saying that people say all the time, but this actually is Black Mirror episode. Like I've seen this. I don't know how I feel about it. I think Pompsey make a good point that you don't move on. Like even if you do, you know, you lose a child. Of course you're probably going to do it. I don't think you could resist seeing them again talking to them through this.

but you still are not moving on. I also think on a less like morbid note, people are going to use this with people that are not dead. Like I could see a crazy ex whose boyfriend left her. And she's like, I'm going to keep him alive. It sleeps in bed with her. She's still dating this person that's a real person. Kylie, you were in my mind.

This completely reminded me of the Black Mirror episode. Pumps, have you seen Black Mirror? I have not. I've seen, I mean, I know what it is. it is. And I tried to watch one episode one time. And I think it was the very first one way back in the day. And it was like they were like stabbed a bunch of pigs. And there was all kinds of weird shit. And I was like, it was really disturbing episode. Anyway, basically it starts in the episode. It starts as just a chat bot. And then it evolves into a full blown, uh, doll, I guess,

a robot basically becoming the person. So that person is acting completely as your deceased loved one. And basically the episode goes on. It basically tortures this woman's life. And she can't get herself to kill it. So it ends up just living in her attic the entire time. And they have a young daughter who's growing up. And on the young daughter's birthday, she can go up and say hi to her dad's really creepy. Anyway, that has made me really kind of scared of this kind of technology. I know that as

time goes on, it probably will become more common. And maybe for some people, it's a way to deal with grief, but I don't think that this is something that I would ever use because

it's just so dark. I am torn though, because I'm like, when it comes to grief, I'm kind of like, fuck it. Like, whatever helps, do it. I don't know. I mean, people, I mean, I know people that have gone to, like, psychics and, you know, madame, it's not madams, mediums. They go and they reach out and they talk to their deceased loved one.

And it brings them so much peace. Right. Yeah. So I support that. Me too. I think there's such a fine line between brings you peace and keeps you, depending. it, but I agree. I mean, grief is really, really tough. And I don't know. And who's to say? Like, Mark Zuckerberg, I don't want him telling me, you know, when the cutoff point is, or you can only access it five times a year or whatever people decide.

Well, and I definitely don't want, like, a dead one's social media activity being replicated. Like, why would you want your, like, dead grandma posting on your Facebook wall? You know, that creeps me out. If you're doing it, you know, with yourself, you know, I guess do what you want. Probably not for me. But I think we can draw a line there. For sure, not doing social media. A lot of these technologies, I'm like, okay, yeah, maybe that's good. When you think about who's in control of it and the data that has to be entered about, you know, my mother, all of her memories, her data is going to these oligarchs.

I don't know. Then I just don't trust any technology anymore. No, I completely agree. And I've just gotten to where everything that comes up about AI, I just hate. Yeah. I just immediately am a no with all of it. And you know how, remember when Jennifer was talking about like her AI, like knowing it was AI and going down the rabbit hole? I went down a rabbit hole, not knowing it was AI, which I know surprises you. It was about those babies that you take away their, they've been blind and you take away their eye patch and they see their parents. for the first time and they're so happy and they make smiles. I'm 20 minutes down that rabbit hole when I realized it's the same fucking parents. And I was just like, are you fucking kidding me? I had followed the account.

I mean, I was all in. I was like, this is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. So I just, I hate everything about AI. I just, I don't, I think it brings more problems than it solves, especially when you think about how kids underage. are being led to, you know, commit suicide and it tells them how to make it easier. And I also am a big believer in friction makes you grow. Yeah.

Different perspectives, disagreements. You have to work through them. You have to learn how to do that. And if you're just constantly being affirmed, like, we think these people are titty babies in, you know, the younger generation because they have to have mommy come to work with them. And, you know, their husband talks to their boss. That shit's crazy. Imagine if you're AI chatbot.

Like I just, I don't understand. I just think it's going to bring way, way more problems than it solves. Well, and I think kids just aren't learning as much either. Like I kind of got out of college basically right as chat GPT and all these other AI platforms were coming to the picture. If I had AI when I was in high school or college, I know for sure I would not learn as much as I did. because it just makes it so easy and accessible to, you know, get what you need instead of doing the actual work yourself. Yeah, you got to do it yourself or you just don't learn as much, I don't think. Okay, do you guys want to listen to a couple voice memos?

Sure. Okay, first we've got Jake. Jennifer's grievance about men cutting her off in line when it's time to be. board a plane. And I would like to use this as my opportunity to apply for a formal exception because I agree people should make space for Jennifer and pumps when boarding a plane. And obviously, I would let you all go first. However, I fly frequently and as a gay man, I think that I should be allowed to cut people, men or women, because typically the gate lice don't know what they're doing. And I've already previewed their boarding pass on their phone

because they don't realize that everyone can see everything that they're doing. And typically, if I cut off a woman or a man, it's because I already know that my boarding zone is better than theirs and they don't know what the fuck's going on. But on the surface, I realize that it looks like I'm just being a millennial male piece of trash and cutting off people. But I actually know what the fuck I'm doing. So I would just like this to serve as an application for exception for most people, but specifically me, a gay man who knows what the fuck they're doing. Well, you know, this podcast is always going to give an exception for a gay man. The gay exception.

Yeah. Okay. Speaking of a gay exception, I was just thinking about this the other day because I saw two straight people sitting on the same side of the booth. And I was repulsed. But I know there's a gay exception because it's super cute. Ryan, do you and your boyfriend sit on the same side of the booth? No.

Kylie and Honor are weird about. Sometimes we do. Why? They're P-B-A queen. You can like cuddle up. Yeah, kind of. No. I agree with, I agree with the color because of two things.

Number one, when other outside of MAGA and the people that are die-hard, triple Trumpers and the Mahab movement, when did we start letting the dumbest, most clueless? most clueless people lead us. Why in all these airport rituals are the dumbest people always in the lead? It should be if you have your boarding pass and you're ready to go, then you get to go first. The dipshit that's talking to her kid and, you know, him hying about the neck rest that doesn't have their boarding pass up. You have to wait. There has to be consequences for not having your shit together.

That's my take. Yeah, there's something about airports that I think just makes people lose their minds. Something that I can't stand is people, everyone crowding around the line, as all the different board numbers are called. Just fucking wait for your number to be called. I'm seated. I'm relaxed. I'm waiting for the number. Also, I like to be one of the last people to board the plane.

I like to, you know, get on and then as soon as possible, take off. I also don't like flying. I'm claustrophobic. But I don't understand this obsession with, you know, getting ahead of one person. You're going to then wait in line to get on the plane. It just. And there's a seat with your name on it sitting there. The seat's not going.

I mean, I get Southwest is different. But nine times out of ten, like you know where you're going. Here's what I don't get. I know we've talked about it ad nauseum. Why don't they load the plane from? the back up. That makes no sense to me. Right.

Why would you start in the beginning? Start at the back. No, it would make so much more sense. I think there's somewhere in Europe, this one, they do front and back. So like first class, it gets to go early, and then the back goes and you meet in the middle, and it's perfect. My only issue with what you said, Ryan, is I always have a carry on. Any chance I can. I'm not checking.

I'm not going to check. And I get real anxious. if it's a tight squeeze, if I can't find my thing, if it's not going to be where I'm at and I have to squeeze past other people. So I'm worried about... I'm worried about overhead space. Okay, fair enough.

You're always checking. I don't mind if I leave the airplane. They just put it on the jebred. I hate gate checking, because half the time they send it to the actual bag thing. Kylie, has that ever actually happened to you? Yes, it has happened to me. It has happened to me.

They send it where? They'll like check it, check it. And then you have to go down to baggage claim. I like when it's at the gate. That's nice. They just put it on the gate. I'm all in on that. Why don't we do that for everyone?

And then why don't we just do that? Seating, overhead bins. What I hate is when you're loading your shit up and like clearly the bags go horse. Well, I guess this would be vertically. So the compartment's horizontal. Clearly everybody's sticking their bags in vertically to make more room. And some motherfucking. probably maga always has to put their bag horizontally so then you have to move your bag and their

bag to create more space i'm just like dip shit look at the other bags it's not that hard it is for them it is for them it is for them okay one more kiles okay the next one we've got is from Sarah. Okay, H-B-I-C-E, Skyler, and Beth. This is your friend Sarah from Phoenix. I am going to join pumps in the not having, and I've had it, with the cult currently known as MAGA. I've had to reach deep down into the dark depths of my soul.

for this one. I have had it with being connected to friends on multiple social media channels as well as text. And those friends

have to message you something from every single channel. They're sending texts. They're sending reels on Instagram. They're sending memes on Facebook. They're sending TikToks. Whatever. Pick a

a fucking channel please i do not want to open multiple apps and see messages from you this i agree with this so fucking hard i already hate responding to anybody like let me show you guys just my notifications i bet i have you be kiley do you think you want to do a competition i actually do want to do a competition because i'm almost sure i have you be Okay, you go first because mine are not loading. Okay. Am I just showing you my home screen? Yeah, my home screen has no notifications.

What do you got? 1151 texts that you have not read. 5,600 emails. Mine's not working. Oh. I don't have any notifications. Yeah. I bet you I have you beat those still.

Like that didn't intend it. I mean, Kylie sees the amount of tabs on. How do you not read your text? How do you have 1,100 texts that is gone? Like one out of 10 texts is worth me reading. Why? Because, you know, if you don't read them. You can see it. I can see who it's from. I know it's not worth it. I can see what they get a lot of spam. I got a text yesterday. Quick heads up. Your America 250 mug has not been claimed yet. I don't need to open that. Like, I'm getting tons of spam. I'm in a lot of group messages. I'm not a group message participant. I just, I've asked people to remove me from them and they won't. I think maybe in hopes that one day. all contribute. I'm just not going to. Like, I don't know what it is about it. I think I have some

kind of like group chat anxiety, but it is a flaw. I'll admit that. I do one of these days. I don't think it is. Are just like, I don't want to hear. If you have 10 people on a message and everybody says the same, like, okay, yeah, that's a great idea. Then you're just, it's mindless conversation. But here's the thing. When you get a text from the same person that sent you're real, that since you're mean it's like they're they want too much attention they're too needy to be in my friend group i like people in my friend group that don't need any kind of thing okay but going back to this my youngest son does this he has like 600 and open messages he never checks his text messages it drives me fucking crazy because i'll i'll say well i sent you text he's like well i didn't see it

i'm like then that's your fault you don't get to say i didn't see it i didn't see it i didn't see it it and be excused if you're not looking at the text. So you're saying it's conscious, it's a conscious thing. Like, mom texts me, clearly I'm going to ignore that. I mean, for me, it's not even on purpose. I just, like, you know, I just don't think humans are supposed to talk this much to each other. I don't think we're supposed to have this much access. Text messaging is fake.

We made it up. So, like, I just, it is. I just don't feel obliged. I hate it. I hate it. Also, if it is really important, I will respond. Yeah. Like, you know. Also, if someone texts me at work, just aren't the wrong time. The only time I'm responding to text, my friends will know is like, I happen to look at my phone. I happen to be doing nothing else and I happen to feel like talking. And there's like five seconds that they'll have me to talk. Yeah, that's the thing. I feel like talking. That's, but see, I prefer text messaging so much more to phone calls. I would much rather just get on a text message. than do your phone call? I think it depends on the person

because there are friends who I really enjoy like a really long phone call to catch up with them and we never text. And then there's friends who are more like every once in a while I'll check in over a text message and that's how we stay connected. As a rule, I think I do not want people calling me every day. I just don't have time for that

or the energy for that. I also hate voice memos. I cannot. A great. sends me a voice. I don't listen. I'm not going to talk and respond like that.

I have a standing role. Like, I will not respond to a voice memo. I have a girlfriend that's always like, hey, I'm driving. I'm like, I'm not listening to that. If you send it in a voice memo, I am not listening full stop. One thing about Pompstow is she's doing voice to text

and it shows. See, that's okay, though. How to do voice to text? You've literally apologized and said, sorry I was doing my voice. You mean like accidentally, like it, it says what I'm talking about and it sends a time. You remember that text you sent me about sex? Yeah.

In the middle of a workday. Oh my God. Yes. She, so all of a sudden it's like, you know what happened. I love listening to like experts talk about stuff. So that expert on experts like it's linguists or I like to listen to that kind of stuff. So I'm always trying to get better. Always always striving for more.

So there's this. I've finished this. one, one of my dear friends, her brother was on it. So I'm listening to his. Then the next one it pops over is about intimacy. I thought it was like being intimate, learning how to be vulnerable in your relationships. I was not thinking sex at all. So it's about sex. This is like, from the time I turn on to where the old office is turning on or whatever, well, it's all about sex and touching and all this. So I turn it off and I'm like, okay, I'm out on that. So I walk in, this is the best part of the whole thing.

I walk into Kylie's office as I sit down and she goes, really like she's whispering. Hey, do you need to text me? Like real quiet. And I'm like, I don't know. What did I text you? What do I text you? And then all of a sudden it hits me.

She's like, and she just shows it to me. She goes, sex. Oh, my God. In the middle of the work day, I get this like sexed from pumps. And I was like, okay, one, either Pumps is finally a lesbian or two, she sent me a sexually harassing for someone else. So I was like, hey, she had no idea she sent it. No. And then I knew because then I looked at it and I was like, oh, yeah, this expert was talking da-da-da-da-da-da.

But Kylie was like, she was really hanging on that I was texting with someone else. Yeah. So funny. I was trying to be sweet too and let you up the hood. The whispering was the best part for sexual harassment. She needs to text me. Hey. Like she didn't want to embarrass me if I'm sexting someone by mistake.

Believe me if I'm sexting someone, it is by mistake. All right, Ryan, do you want to show off Jen's book? He's got a copy right here. Oh, yes. You can do the ad. Okay, Jennifer has a new book. Pre-order today, not today. Fascists.

What does it say? The lives that got us here and the truths that will reunite us, this is going to be such an important book. I think I really am excited about it. Please pre-order. That really helps. Also, we have this flagship podcast on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also have daily digestible news hits every day between two and three, depending on how fucked up the world is. It might even before. So we will see you next Tuesday and Thursday. Actually, pumps, I've got one more call out. If you guys will send a voice, my mom. Oh, God, I forgot. It's okay. Send a voice memo to our Instagram.

Keep it around like under a minute 30. Some of these people have a lot to say and they do about five minutes. I'm not even going to play those, much like the voice text messages. So around a minute 30, send it to our Instagram DMs. Also leave us a review on Apple. We're trying to get to some new record. We used to make up really good milestones pumps. So go leave us review.

Yeah, we hit all our goals. But we really need your reviews because I need something to read or they're just not going to let me on the show anymore. And if you tell Kylie how cute she is in the voice memo and how smart and funny and darling she is, you're definitely going to get on there. All right, we will see you next Tuesday and Thursday.
