Episode Date: November 14, 2023

Pumps is FINALLY not the most famous person on the podcast today because the girls are joined by global superstar, Meghan Trainor. The three discuss IBS, homeschooling and gender reveal parties. Megha...n also gets vulnerable and opens up about her recent comments regarding teachers. Jen is worried about Ben Affleck and Pumps works through some role play with Dr. Jennifer Welch (who is not a licensed therapist nor does she play one on TV) that might help her draw some boundaries next time she's in an airport.

Starting point is 00:00:00 So we're supposed to start the podcast. One, two, three. Terrible. One, two, three. Better. Good enough. Good enough. Good enough.
Starting point is 00:00:16 Not great. Not what our listeners are used to, but it'll do in a pinch. Hashtag all missed. Hashtag it'll do in a pinch. What if you all missed. Hashtag it'll do in a pinch. But I'm, what have you had it with? What I've had it with, and I have noticed it recently, a bunch is airport greeters. When you arrive in a city and in the baggage claim area,
Starting point is 00:00:38 you have this person that wants to yak mouth about the features of the airport, where to go in the airport, fun things to do, and the features of the airport, where to go in the airport, fun things to do, and it's like, dude, we're already here, we figured out what we wanna do, we don't wanna chat with you, and the one in Oklahoma City that I noticed
Starting point is 00:00:55 came out and told everyone, I'm here to entertain you, it gives me my most happiness in life is to entertain you, and I thought, that's a lot of fucking pressure because we don't want to talk to you. Okay, question. How do we know he was officially employed by the airport, not a crazy person? Well, I mean, he had, he had like a binder. If I guess sites, I don't know, I was like eyeballing it, but trying not to look, because I didn't want to catch his eye. And then the one in Denver that member, he tried to get all in our, tell us where to go. And you finally were like, we've got it.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Thank you so much. But it was just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, unnecessary information. And I just feel like we don't need greaders at the airport. Here's, here's the thing that people aren't getting. Airport travel is not enjoyable. No, there is not enjoyable. No. There is not a greeter, enthusiastic enough that can mitigate the insufferable experience
Starting point is 00:01:53 of traveling in an airport. Can you agree more? And we don't need greeters. No. We don't need Yak Mouths. No, I think it makes it worse, even. It makes it worse. I remember when we were in Denver.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah. And that guy, we were minding our own business. I was looking up an email to find the number of the car service. And he butted in like three times. And he wouldn't stop. And I mean, I was very curt. And I looked in and said, I've got it. Like I'm not going to sit here and have a conversation with you about what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I just left Josh Welch and he narrates everything I do. This is my time away from that. I don't need you coming up, monitoring what I'm doing, and it was unsolicited. It was unsolicited and unhelpful. Yeah, it was both. There was nothing that he offered that we couldn't have gotten on our own.
Starting point is 00:02:40 I mean, it was just all basic information. So yeah, I just, I've had it with airport graders. I mean, we've just taken the greeting too far. Like you said, we're never gonna enjoy being an airport. We're never gonna enjoy baggage claim. No one. Yeah, I think that what would be better in an airport is to have a help desk.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Right, with five to six people behind it, that knew shit. Right, that knew where your bags were gonna be. New where they were gonna be delivered. All of those pertinent questions. But just him, him, him, him, about how was your flight? And can I help you get a taxi? It's like, no, shut the fuck up. If I need help, I'll ask you.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Right. Until then, zip it. So what is your plan of action? We're on this hot shit tour. Right. And let's just role play here We arrive at the next lucky city that is gonna be visited by I've had it podcasts for the hot shit tour, right? All right, you arrive at the airport, right? I'm gonna be the greeter you be you. Okay Hi, welcome to Dallas. I've you've been to Dallas before can I tell you some tips about our city?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Yes, I've been to Dallas. Thank you for asking and no, I don't want any tips. It was great seeing you, bye bye. Are you waiting on your bag? Are you waiting for a taxi? What can I help you with? Go fuck yourself. There's my girl.
Starting point is 00:03:57 There's my girl. I only took two tries. I just, I have no patience for it. All right, all right. What have you had it with? I don't know if this is something I've had it with, but I just want to give a shout out to Ben Affleck because that motherfucker looks like he has had it.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Yeah, he does. He always looks just like he's mad. Just, I mean, frustrated. Every video and every image I see of him, I think he has had it. He's getting out of a car. Jennifer Lopez, Megawatt, Megastar, beautiful. Megabody waves. She's like, I mean, just that total it factor. And there's Grumpy Ben right behind her. He just looks and I'm thinking, I wonder what's wrong. He's just over it.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I want to explore this. Do you think maybe she's fucking him too much? I think he'd be happier if she was fucking him too much, right? Or would he, I don't know, maybe he's like drained of semen or something. I mean, there's something going on. I don't know what it is, but I mean, she is as happy as she could possibly be.
Starting point is 00:05:05 And Ben looks like he is just miserable. He's probably just cranky as fuck. And probably he gets followed more because of her. Maybe that irritates him. Because I would assume like she is so megawatt and she's so electric and her magnetism, immediately you catch her eye, but Ben Affleck could get
Starting point is 00:05:25 out of a cabin front of me and I might not notice. You don't think she's fukking him too much? I just don't think that's a thing for a man. I guess he's older though. I mean, I just think Ben want to fuk all the time. Yeah, but I think at some point, I mean, you know, she's, I imagine she is, oh, you would think. Yeah, insatiable. Insatiable. Yeah. Maybe that's it.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Maybe we should start a rumor. I don't know. I just thought we should explore it. If our listeners will weigh in in the comment section, what's, what's going on? What is he mad about? If it's just like the paparazzi and all that shit, boring, you know, then I imagine, you know, whatever, but he just doesn't, I mean, he just looks like he's had it. And I support him in having it and being grumpy. But I found some quotes of Ben Affleck's I want to share with you in the listener.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Okay. There's a lot of crazy weird people out there. It's an ugly world. Totally agree. Agree. Totally agree. Here's one. I feel like fame is wasted on me. That's probably true.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Probably just doesn't like all the attention. This one is probably the best one here. He says, I have a good relationship with the world, but I don't know what the trick is to maintaining it. That's true. That's absolutely true. That is totally, totally true. But anyway, I just have noticed he looks cranky. He looks like he has had it. And I want to know what he's had it with. Yeah. You know, like, what is it? What is it? What's going on? Maybe we've had it with the same thing. What is going on that causes you that you can't even put on your big boy pants for 15 seconds to walk from the car to the restaurant.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Right. Put a big O fake smile on it because it's obvious that mother fecker has had it. All right. Well, welcome to I've had it. I'm Jennifer and Angie. She's the star of the show. She's the beautiful one at her advanced stage. We still let her be the pretty one. I'm the young one in the smart one.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Kylie's here with us. Kylie, how are you? Oh good. How are you? Really good. I wanted to share with you guys this meme that's been rolling around on the internet and it's a list of the worst first date locations. list of the worst first date locations. Ooh, yeah, guess what number one is. Pick Nick. No, and I don't even think that's on the list. Kylie. Apple bees. Apple bees is number two.
Starting point is 00:07:58 That would be a horrible first date. Number one is cheesecake factory. Yeah, because you have to wait a long time and then you have to talk more. Here's the problem with cheesecake factory. And I've only eaten there one time. And I'll never eat there again because this is the fucking problem with cheesecake factory. If you get a menu right and they make Chinese Italian American Mexican in French, know, none of it is gonna be good. No, I can't. Because they're not experts in any of it.
Starting point is 00:08:28 And just the idea of naming a restaurant cheesecake factory, and then everybody thinking it's so fucking cool, just bugs the shit out of me. Any other guesses? Are these all restaurants then I gather? No, it could be anything. Um, hotel room. first date in a hotel room is bad. That did not make the list. You're over two pumps. I see stuff like Starbucks,
Starting point is 00:08:55 fast food chains, buffalo wild wings. But here are the ones that I liked. Church. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. That's a really bad first day. Bad first day. Yeah. Family functions. Agreed. I can't believe people do that. Yeah. Somewhere that requires a long drive, awful. And then I've disagree with this one. This came in last place, sports events. I think sports events are good. I think it's kind of a good first day. It's a distraction.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I think coffee places are good too because you're only expected like 30 minutes. If you want to tap out, you can tap out. So I think that's wrong. Coffee places a good first day, I think. Did you get out if you need to? That's a little bit too intimate for me. You sit there and you just have to talk and talk and talk.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I like a distraction. Yeah, this sports is my number one. What's your ideal first date? Not having one. Not having one, okay. Listen, our pumps is asexual and no fun at this game. Kylie, what's yours? My go-to is always like a bar that I knew,
Starting point is 00:10:00 because there would be kind of people I knew around that could come say, hey, or I could escape if I needed to. And then you seem like you're popular because you know people. Oh, yeah. And then you can kind of ditch whenever. Yeah. See, I just don't think dinner is a great first date because then you have to talk a long time. If the food slow, then it's really bad. So I think the sporting event would be my number one choice. Yeah, I was surprised that it came so last. So many distractions, so many opportunities to get up and get to the bathroom. Okay, but the worst proposal sporting event.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Agree. The worst. The people that do it on the jumbo tron. It's also the worst proposals on the planet when they propose at an NFL or NBA game and they do it on the jumbo tron, it is so cringe, I hate it. It's so cheeseball, like what about the planes that come over carrying the banner on the back that say will you marry me Jennifer?
Starting point is 00:10:56 Stupid. Stupid. Had it. All right, do you wanna hear some readings from my favorite Instagram account, disappointing affirmations. I would love to. Kylie, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I'm gonna do some therapy. Believe in yourself. There's nothing you can't fuck up. That is what I need on my tombstone. I think you say that about pumps often. Yeah, often. Yeah, okay, here's another one. Life.
Starting point is 00:11:24 What a fucking nightmare. This is great. I think so many people should have this like on their refrigerators. Move the fuck on. Oh my gosh, nailed it. Move the fuck on. It's over. So somebody can see it every day. Move the fuck on. Move on. Get's over. So somebody can see it every day. Move on. Move the fact on. Move on. Get over it.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Get over it. I get so tired of the same rehashing of relationships. I mean, a year later, it's enough. Yeah. It's over. I agree. Okay. Here's one.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I am choosing kindness over anger towards myself, I mean. Fuck everyone else. That's a great one. Okay, here's the last one. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for being yourself. That's your job. And nobody does it better. That will conclude today's readings of my favorite Instagram account, disappointing affirmations. Love that.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Kylie, what's going on on the World Wide Web? Well, you know how we posted you guys in your non-costumes recently. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I've got a lot of feedback. Oh, good. A lot of gaze, a lot of lesbians were very affected by this really This girl at farm girl writes I'm now gonna have fantasies about pumps and that none outfit
Starting point is 00:12:55 Which may include wet dreams Hot damn pumps just admit you're a lesbian already That was very well written very very true. Very well written. I've got a bunch of these, so very real. Okay, let's go, but my seat belt is fastened, let's go. Okay, at Douglas Taylor said, gay man here, turns out whore nuns could make me flip. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Starting point is 00:13:19 You sexy milves. I like that. This person wrote, didn't think gin and pumps could get any hotter, and then they came in with sexy, non-costumes. The lesbian community has won yet again. I love this.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I mean, this is just an eco-seed. This is great. This is a lot better than these one-star reviews, which we enjoy, but I have to say the eco-feed. It is nice. It's nice a little bit, right? It's a little bit nice. Yes, horn-nice.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Flipping homosexuals back to heterosexuality. I like that. But conversion therapy. Great one. Yeah. Okay, the last one is from At. Benihana. He writes, incredibly unprofessional for Jen to show up in this amazing lesbian nun fantasy
Starting point is 00:14:01 look. Pumps, your culture is not a costume. That's so good. That's so great. I loved our non-costumes. I really did like them too. When I saw them in the store, I was like, this is it. All right. I'm like, God, I'm so excited about today. Today is a really exciting day. We have a global superstar on I've had it. We do. And her songs and every word to everyone
Starting point is 00:14:34 and they just ring in my head sometimes. Can't get them out. She's a global superstar. And I'm wondering, we, I mean, to date the most famous person on our podcast has always been you. Shhh, shut your mouth, you're ridiculous. And this is gonna be the first time that we see who's a bigger star.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I don't think that that is even equivalent. And that's just, Kylie, who do you think is gonna be a bigger star? Pumps or the global superstar we're about to have on? First, I think I need to hear a couple bars from pumps. Hear that singing voice. It's horrific. It's painful.

I was like, okay, yay. So I'm honored to be here. I love to shit talk. What are we doing? Hi.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I love it. So, you know, I always say that Pumps here. She's my co-host is the star of our show. And I'm sure you can tell from the screen that it factor is just emanating out. She's flipping me off. This is the way we communicate our love to each other, Megan. But I'm curious, like like you are a global superstar.
Starting point is 00:18:47 So can you give Pamp some advice as she she's probably going to go global in the next month or two? Can you give her some tips on how to manage global superstar. It's ridiculous. Yeah, y'all are famous really fast and basically basically just stay or get therapy, stay in therapy. I'm in therapy every Wednesday. And I always ask for help. And yeah, just hold on for your life. Yeah, I'm already in therapy. So I'm in good shape.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Megan, sadly, we've been in therapy for a couple of decades. Yeah. I can't convince my mom to do the therapy. Like, there's a lot of people in my family that are stubborn and won't do it. And it's the greatest thing ever. And I wish everyone was in therapy. It's just so nice sometimes, just to dump. Yeah, I need to dump once in a while, you know?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Speaking of dumps, we want you to dump now what you've had it with. What is the first thing right out of the gates that you've had it with Meghan Trainor? Speaking of dumps what you've had it with. What is the first thing right out of the gates that you've had it with Megan Trainor? Speaking of dumps, I've had it with IBS. I got, I recently diagnosed with IBS, and it makes so much sense because I am like a constipated queen, like if, and I thought IBS was the other way, but IBS can also be constipation, I guess. It's just irregular bowel movements, you know what I'm saying? Sorry,
Starting point is 00:20:08 I'm getting real open with y'all. Um, I, yeah, I've always been constipated. I go every other day or every three days and I always have belly aches. I thought it was my anxiety, but I was like, here comes my tummy aches every time I eat belly aches. And then, And then I was just on the phone, which is why I'm three minutes late. I'm so sorry with a doctor because I've been doing all these tests. Like I scooped my poop the other day horrific heart. I had to do a breath test for three hours and they just called and they're like, it's not quite seaboe, but there is a definite gas bacteria in your gut that we would love to fix. And we googled what it is, and it was like a sulfur rotten egg smell. And Darrell's like, that's what your rotten egg farts are.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's like, it's like, it's lately all. I've been like, oh, this part is the LaFloca seagulls, you know? Like, that's what is bad lately. And I just thought, like, maybe it's a pregnancy thing, like, what is going on? But I got IBS and I got some bacteria and I have had it. I'm sick of it. Megan, I feel your pain. I'm the opposite way.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I finally have gotten it under control in the last year. But it's gone so far that I've had to shit in a cap while driving on the highway. I mean, I cannot control it. No! Yes, I sure did, and it started from cap. You're so rare. I feel like all my girlfriends are like, oh, yeah, I don't poop.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Like, I'm so bloated and constipated. And I got like anal fishers. I got it all, like anything that I was pooping. I think it's a lot of mental, too, because I never pooped in public. Like, I have, I can count on one hand, mental too because I never pooped in public. Like I have, I can count on one hand how many times I pooped in public. Right. Because I have such a aging fear that I will hold in my poop for hours and days. I'm so sorry that my whole podcast episode is about. No, we love to talk about shit. Trying to help others out there if they're
Starting point is 00:22:00 suffering like me. Don't be ashamed of your poop and poop in public. It's good for you. You know what? You know what we need to talk about, ladies? There is a huge disparity. In the amount of time, it takes a woman to shit. Yes. And the amount of time, it takes a man to shit.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And my husband still takes, oh my God, Megan, what on earth is that? I love it. So, Matt. Listener, she's just pulled out a water bottle that is even larger than a stainless cap. It is one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. I have, this is my little one. It's my half gallon and I drink a whole gallon every single day.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I love it. It's still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still , I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still , I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm like, do you still feel dehydrated? Yes. That's why I'm going to doctor. Going to every doctor I can, I'm like, study me, like, investigate my body,
Starting point is 00:22:50 how can I wake up with brown pee? And every night I'm dying to put on my chapsstick because I'm so dehydrated. Okay, what's going on with your feet? Well, I'm a mess right now. I'm about to turn 30 and my body's betraying me. My, I got a corn. I didn't betraying me. My, I got a corn. I didn't even know what this was.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I got a corn. It's like a blister. It's like a bunch of callus that like builds up. It could be under your feet or in between your toes. And mine is so gross. It's in between my pinky toe and the one next to it because of genetics, my toes curl into each other, the outside ones. And probably me shoving my feet
Starting point is 00:23:27 in little heels, my life. Dancing a ton. Yeah, like all these pops are crap. I'm like, I'm wearing sneakers on the store, so get ready. But I got it when I was pregnant in Australia, doing Australian Idol, and I was wearing heels while pregnant.
Starting point is 00:23:44 So it was just like a too much friction, too much rubber butt and it hurts so bad. It hurts like nerve pain and you can't like pop it. You can't like carve it down. It's like a weird way to treat it, but I still have it and I played pickleball the other day and it got infected and started all this sciatica problems because I'm walking funny. I swear, I'm like, my body is just falling apart, but I'm once I figure all this out between my poop and my corn and my sciatica, I'm going to be an athlete and nothing will start. Well, I, I'm an athlete.
Starting point is 00:24:20 I'm a pickleball athlete. I recently won a gold medal playing pickleball with my husband mixed Yeah, and so I know like you're polite you've got to get your IBS under control You got to get that corn off your fit because there's nothing more rewarding. I don't even think global superstar I'm you know packed arenas could even compare to my little pickleball Tournament that when I won that gold medal. Megan, like you have not peaked. You are still going up, up, up.
Starting point is 00:24:50 I know. Do you have, do you take pickleball lessons? Do you have an instructor? Do you have a coach? How serious are you? No, I have my husband and we play with, and we're not even doing the rules right. Recently we did, we were playing like in our backyard. We have like a nice, nice little core. And we did, we were playing like in our backyard. We have like a nice,
Starting point is 00:25:05 nice little core. And we put together. And recently Katy Perry did a charity event for her firework foundation. And we went and played pickleball. And I was like, okay, it's going to be celebrities. It's going to be chill. We're all having fun playing pickleball. No, these people were asked. Darryl and I were the worst couple there. We literally our first game in the tournament was zero to 15. This score girl, the score girl said, what? Listen, man, we're doing our absolute best. I was like, I write songs. I'm not supposed to be here. Yeah. You're like, this is a very good cause.
Starting point is 00:25:48 What is this? We got demolished. So I blamed my corn, but I also blamed that we've never had lessons. And we didn't even have the rules. Like they were telling us, like, okay, now, we've got you come up. And I was like, oh, let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Was Katy Perry get it pickable? She didn't even play when I was there because she had the air horn and she was just like making announcements like, okay, up next We got blah blah, you know, right, right, but apparently she played I didn't even watch but her brother plays and he's a beast Yeah, they were all very competitive. We actually played her mom and her mom killed me. Yeah, her mother. Yeah actually played her mom and her mom killed me. Yeah, her mother. Yeah. That's the scary thing about pickleball because you can see your opponent across the court
Starting point is 00:26:30 and you think, oh, they're 25, 30 years older than me and I'm gonna completely take them down and I got my ass beat, Megan, by two, 70 year olds. They pounded me in my partner. It was one morning, it was a crisp morning, and we went to the pickleball courts and I thought, oh, this is going to be bad. This is going to be elder abuse. Got pounded. I mean, these people absolutely handed my partner in IR asses. Yeah, dude. That's what I thought about sweet Katerpillar's mom Mary. I was like, at least we'll be her.
Starting point is 00:27:03 mom Mary, I was like, at least will be her. No, this. No, she never missed a serve. She was so good. I was like, no, Mary. Okay, let me ask you this. One thing that we have really taken a stand on are gender reveal parties. And it was brought to my attention that you had a gender reveal party. So will you explain yourself to pumps in me and to our listeners? What was going on? What were you thinking? I want to know the psychology behind it. Help us understand this. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:30 First of all, these are false allegations. Second of all, I, I like never had a, uh, uh, what's it called? I don't even know what it's called. Let's call it. It's a baby shower. I never had a baby shower to my kids. My gender reveal was me filming my family when I said one two three is so boy that was it. Okay, that's fair. Come on, I got to find out eventually.
Starting point is 00:27:58 That's all I did and I did one, you know what I did? I did both of them at home like that, but I did for the public and all the fans. I went on Kelly Clarkson and I was like, Kelly, you tell them. And we did like a nice sweet surprise there. So that was fun, but that's about it. I'm not like shoot now, fireworks in a field. You know what I mean? Because that's absurd. Not an airbag.
Starting point is 00:28:18 All right. All right. I think we can let all of this slide. No, I think that's about normal. Okay. Another red flag in our research of you is I read that you want to homeschool your kids and pumps and I always red flag homeschoolers. Homeschoolers.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Yeah, they're always weird. You're not weird at all. What's going on? Explain to us what's the mindset behind homeschooling. I'm not weird. I'm not weird. Therefore my kids won't be weird. Do you want to be with your kids that much in one day?
Starting point is 00:28:48 Well, yes. I'm some, I'm missing one that they're gone. And yeah, my sweet little boy, you know, like in COVID, they started doing pods. Yeah, that's like what I do. Yeah, they're like little kids now. They can do little pods or they get together for a few hours. My kids too is like not even in school. But that's what we do a couple of times a week. We have all these cute little kids come over and play at my house
Starting point is 00:29:14 and these little pods and they they all learn how to do fun things and it's the cutest thing to watch and I'm like, yes, you can stay here forever. So what about when he's around like 10, 12, 13, 14? Do you still think you're home school then? For a problem, if I can, yeah. Because also me and my husband and I have weird jobs where we're gonna be like on the road for three months. And like taking a kid out of a school and trying to explain that to a teacher of like,
Starting point is 00:29:45 hey, can you give him work for like three months? Yeah, yeah. That makes sense. I know it's just going to be so hard to take our kids whenever we want, like, and not disrupt their schedule in their class. And if I am lucky enough to like afford a teacher to come with us on the road, like, I'll probably do that. So here's something I think that needs to be pointed out.
Starting point is 00:30:04 So we live in Oklahoma City, which is the buckle of the Bible belt. with us on the road, like, I'll probably do that. So here's something I think that needs to be pointed out. So we live in Oklahoma City, which is the buckle of the Bible belt. And typically, homeschooling is like, you immediately know that this is like, Bible temper, education, where they're teaching that dinosaurs and man lived on the earth at the same time. And, but I think in Los Angeles,
Starting point is 00:30:23 where you live, a lot of people in your position take their kids on the earth at the same time. But I think in Los Angeles, where you live, a lot of people in your position take their kids on the road with them so that they can be active parents. And homeschooling is different on the coast than it is here. Because when pumps and I hear homeschooling, we immediately think, oh my god, these kids are going to be so fucked up. But you're right. When, like Roger, I'm a big tennis fan and Roger Federer is a huge I mean obviously was one of the biggest tennis stars ever and they took their kids on the road with him when he played tournaments and had a teacher travel with them so you're not going to be
Starting point is 00:30:52 the one doing the teaching. Is that what people think? Yes that's what we think. Yeah but we have enough to do that. See I had to get my kids a tutor in fifth grade so I was like there's no way I'd be smart enough to teach high school math. Never. No, I can't teach them. I can barely teach them now. Like, yeah, what do I say?
Starting point is 00:31:12 No, yeah, yeah. That's why I'm like, if I'm lucky enough to afford like a teacher to come with us or like have a babysitter on hand to teach them like while we travel everywhere, that's the dream. That's what I'm trying to do. I can't teach math. But I can teach emotions. Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:31:33 That's sweet. You're you're I like to your take talk. You're so fun. I love all the just the dancing. I love the videos with your kids. I mean, you can tell that you have a very happy household and that you're really enjoying your kids being young. And I think it's really great because sometimes it can be so overwhelming. Yeah. When you have that young. And I just, I sorry, I just said out loud that I've never been happier in my life, but I've also never cried so much. Yeah. That's, that's it. It's exactly it.

Now I have to ask you, so you know, we're just calling you out here left right. The next thing, alarming thing that I found in my research of you Why have these on my red bars? I know I know we have to get to the bottom of it. I
Starting point is 00:34:51 Red I think it was your Wikipedia page and you can defend yourself that you've never voted and don't have any intention of voting But no, that's all shit that Wikipedia is wrong Because I like you so much. I didn't too. I'm so relieved Okay, because you stand in line with all I wrote it's No, I wrote a song If you want to see a change go vote go vote here's some my tiktok page go vote, you know saying it like I yeah I always from every year my you gotta vote you gotta say something back in the day What I was like 18? I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't I was uneduc year. Like you gotta vote, you gotta say something. Back in the day when I was like 18,
Starting point is 00:35:25 I didn't know what I was doing. And I was uneducated and was like, well, I don't know how to vote. What do I do? And that's I see the younger generation. And I'm like, hey, I didn't know what was happening. Let me help you. I'm so happy to hear that because I read
Starting point is 00:35:38 what your political beliefs work is we're very outspoken in support of the LGBTQIA plus community. And we're very outspoken in support of the LGBTQIA plus community. And we're very progressive and everything that we stand for, that we platform, you do too. And I want to commend you for having such a large audience and not being scared to, because I don't see those issues as political. I see them as moral. And it's the morally correct thing to do. And I'm so happy that you just so brazenly and outspokenly say this is what I stand for, fuck the guns, let's support the gays. It's a scary place and I want to teach them that like you can accept everyone who they love, doesn't like, doesn't matter. People are people, we're all the same. And I, like, the, I wrote a song
Starting point is 00:36:26 a week after my C section, my second one. And because I was so like upset, it's called Forget How to Love. And I'm like, are we all just like forgetting how to love? Because there's so much hate. And I can't tell that if it's always been there, and it's just louder now, because there's more social media, or if it's getting worse. Like I'm asking everyone I'm like is this always been this is the hate has it always been this loud or is it getting worse and it's just a spooky world and I just want to teach so much love in my home. Yeah. There's no question. I'm sorry. I know I'm not a journalist. I'm just a de-list podcaster. Anyway, I allowed you to correct the record.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did.
Starting point is 00:37:16 I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did. but ever since you've been coming on the pod, I was like, did you know when you wrote all about that base that every single person in the entire world would have that going through their head at all times? Like I will be vacuuming and it will pop into my head while I'm listening to a podcast. I can't make it stop. So did you know it was gonna be like that?
Starting point is 00:37:40 No, I was actually like one of my least favorite songs on my roster, too. Oh my god. Yeah, I had so many songs as a songwriter. And that was just one of them. And it was like, unproduced, I thought. There was no auto tune. There was nothing.
Starting point is 00:37:58 It was raw. It was a demo. And so to have a label freak out over this one song, I was like, this is the one. This is my parents like the base one. The one that you're like the ball about the base. I was like, yeah, I'm freaking out of it. I guess we're gonna do this one.
Starting point is 00:38:14 And I just wanted a record deal. So bad. I was like, okay, they really like the song. Let's do it. I've always wanted a record deal. And then it came out and I still didn't get it. And then it was everywhere. And I was like, uh-oh, what's going on? Like shocked. And then one day, we went to the dump on Antarctica
Starting point is 00:38:30 because you bring your trash to the dump. It's really cute. And it was the summer. And I heard something on the radio and I was like, yo, what's this? But anger and I turned it up and it was based. And I was like, oh my God. That's what they're hearing. I get it. And it took me that long. I was so shocked when, when did that come out?
Starting point is 00:38:48 Like 2015 or 2016? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like it just came out last year. Yeah, yesterday. Yeah, when I saw that, I was like, we've had that song for that long. I felt like it was still so fresh and new. My life is crazy still.
Starting point is 00:39:03 And that's my baby. That's my first, that's like the reason every, all of this has happened. So it's, it's my first born and I, I can't ever think it enough. I look, I'm in my glam room that has like, like my book is on. I have a book. What? What is my life? It's crazy. All because of that song. It's amazing. I mean, it's a great song and anything that last 10 years that people still know all the words to
Starting point is 00:39:25 But a lot of your songs are like that. I love my best skill. I think in life is writing something catchy that like won't leave you I have like I have a lot of fathers come up to me and they go you You're in my dreams last night and I'm like So true, Okay Megan, now we're gonna play a game with you called Had it or Hit it. Okay, I'm gonna listen things and you tell us if you've had it with it or if you will hit it. Oh my God, welcome to Had it or Hit it.
Starting point is 00:39:59 I would hit it, Had it, Had it. I hit it every day sometimes twice a day. All right, Had it or hit it, mega churches. Mega churches, ain't it? I had it. I had it. You say mega, wait, I'm figuring it out. You see me back at.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Mega churches, you probably didn't have these in Massachusetts where you grew up, but we're, we live. I don't see it. I'm learning that there's things I don't know. I didn't know what a hair straightener was for a long time. That's a whole other thing. Okay, next. All right, had it or hit it, power moms.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Power moms, what's a power mom? Okay, a power mom is when you drop your kid off at school and then you through the carpool line and you leave and you go home and then there's a mom that drops the kid off at school and then they go park their car and then their home or mom and they're like helicoptering all over the school all the time and they have like hyper organized play dates kind of thinking maybe you could possibly kind of be a power mom. Would you bake cookies and take them up to school?
Starting point is 00:41:07 You're making it a negative. I'm kind of thinking you are. One dream to be a power mom. I hope I could be a power mom someday. When you described wanted to be around your kids all the time, I was like, I think she might be a power mom. But see, you'd be a cool power mom because you're cool. And you're Megan, if I can train her.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Yeah. Thank you so much for saying that. Yeah. I'm gonna be cool. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Hit it. Hit it. Hit that. Okay. All right. Hit it or hit it. Get ready with me on TikTok or Instagram. Now I always go all the way. I can't figure it out. I've had it too. I just don't understand it. If they're giving a makeup tutorial, I'm in. But if it's just yakmouth about your day while you put on makeup, I'm like, why do I care? I don't.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Yeah, I know. I'm like, oh, sorry. I just don't care enough for this, bye. And I feel bad sometimes I'll give a heart just to be like, sorry, and then leave. Okay, had it or hit it, skinny bitches. Hey, I got so much trouble for that line. I love all shapes and sizes. Skinny, whatever you want. Yes, I love it. I hit it.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Hit the... So, you know, saying that you got you getting trouble for when you are a global superstar like you, you can say, especially if you have a podcast, right? And so your podcast, yeah, you're on TikTok and you're on Instagram all the time, we say so much crazy shit all the time. And we can maybe kind of get what we're delist podcasters. So we might get a little bit of keyboard warriors in the comment section. Whereas you, if you say something when you're in the zone talking to people like I read that you had recently said that you hated teachers or not hate teachers.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Fuck the teachers. Which obviously, obviously you don't feel that way. You value education. But when you're a Megan trainer and you say something like that bullshit in with your friend, like we're bullshitting here. Then you become a cartoon character version of yourself when all you're doing is shit talking. Like I might say, oh my God, fuck the cats. And Pamp says, like I'm fucking anti-cat.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Well, if she was a global superstar, it could be like magnified to this thing, where it's such a bigger deal than what it really is when it's just conversation- Right. Shit talking. Then you have to go on an apology to her right? I didn't know. I always forget that I'm famous. I forget people are listening. I
Starting point is 00:43:55 forget people care and we were talking about one teacher that was horrific to her and treated her terribly. And I was said, yeah, fuck teachers. And everyone took that, the internet, that clip and said, she hates teachers. And I was like, oh, I like, I fucking, I love teachers. I've supported them so much. I just can't hate you.
Starting point is 00:44:19 I've done so many donations. I, they have the hardest job ever. And so when I was, oh my God, every teacher hates me and thinks that I hate, I cried every night and was just like, that was so dumb that it slipped out my mouth like that and now the whole world. I thought people were gonna like spit on me in the streets
Starting point is 00:44:41 and like, attack me. And I was pregnant. I was very pregnant. I had pregnant brain. And I was, it was a really dark time for me. And but yeah, it's magnified times bajillion for me. And I forgot. So when it hit me in all the comments were like, go die.
Starting point is 00:44:58 I was like crumbling, crying, shaking to sleep every night. And it took a while to get over. But it showed me again, like, oh, I have a platform, I guess, with all this, where I am in my career, and there are many people listening. So I'm not going to slip up, and I'm not going to have my Wikipedia say,
Starting point is 00:45:15 I don't vote, because that's just not who I am. Not what I believe in, and I adore teachers. I have, I'm lucky enough that I have a teacher come over and help teach my kids. And when that happened, you know, embarrassing and devastating that I was and was like, I just wanted to know that I helped you so much and I love all of you.
Starting point is 00:45:33 And she was like, oh my God, please stop. Like, you're okay. Well, it's kind of like a context too. Like you're saying, one teacher to brand, fuck them. And then, yeah, I can see where that would get way, snowball away. to your friend, fuck them, and then yeah, I can see where that would get way snow all the way. I can tell you're a very, you know, socially just person and on the right side of history and care passionately about your family, your team, your friends, the people in your community. And I bet that was really devastating. And
Starting point is 00:46:01 when I was pregnant, I cried all the faking time because of the hormones. And to get doxed on the internet during your pregnancy, I bet that was very leveling. And so do you, when you speak since that, do you, are you more cognizant? Because pumps and I, it's amazing that we haven't gotten any more trouble because we say much more shit than that.
Starting point is 00:46:21 And of course, obviously, people clamor on that one thing that you said completely out of context. And it seems that people don't really want to hear the truth. Like, you pick, oh my God, I was just shit talking with the friend, of course, I love teachers. They want to marry you and pin you down. That, you know, Meghan Trainor is anti-education and they go off the rails. And it just
Starting point is 00:46:46 seems like people can't accept the reality of what it is. Like I was shit talking, teacher was meanderer kid. That's all I said. We moved on. It was, I didn't even think anything of it and tell everybody blew up. It's good to my position to like, be more aware and focus. And you forget that because you're human. It was a good wake-up call of like, hey, a lot of people are listening and don't slip up. But it was dark, man. It got really dark. I was really pregnant. It was, I just felt so bad if I hurt someone. If I made someone feel bad, if I made here's who had the... That was. And I just felt so bad if I hurt someone, you know, if I made someone feel bad, if I made yours who had the, that is, I just felt like I've made someone feel bad. I want to fucking, like, I don't feel good.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And I was like, I've never felt like, oh, I want to disappear right now. I want to be like taken away. So, but it took therapy and time. And then I, yeah, I try to focus on just trying to be all promote love, all love, but I do, I get sweaty in interviews, I get nervous,
Starting point is 00:47:55 I just, this is my biggest fear to hurt someone, you know? Yeah. I can tell from your TikTok and Instagram that you're very, like, your happiness and promoting of love definitely comes across. I did a whole deep dive and I was like, you're just fun. You don't, I mean, you can, there's not,
Starting point is 00:48:13 Pampton, I can be kind of mean spirited. The name of our podcast is I've had it. What you said was more on brand was something we would say. Yeah. Yeah. Is that a hero? Because it would have probably been fun. Because when I watched your, I was like, oh my gosh, she's so happy and carefree. And you're very self-deprecating.
Starting point is 00:48:32 You laugh at yourself and you have a very infectious feed. It's like it hit me in a good mood watching it. Okay. Anyway, let's move on. Had it or hit it. The sandwiches of a drag queen. Oh my God, you got them! It was the bomb! Stop goatering me!
Starting point is 00:48:51 Um! Yeah, the beautiful drag queen started that rumor that I ate their sandwich, came and said that was a lie. So I'm out of it. I said which is because I never eat it. Okay, listen, this is how stupid the internet is. And I think this is a funny example. So we're giggling you and there's this.
Starting point is 00:49:17 It's like, bro, I don't this like shook up my career. This little village. Oh, yeah. So some drag queen on RuPaul's drag white race. Is that what it was making? Claim that magnet or sandwich. Big fucking deal. That's what I thought. I mean, who cares? First of all, I don't go where their food is. I brought my own snacks. I brought my own lunch. I'm like in my own green room. I was like, what? That's ridiculous. Yeah, I wouldn't even need someone to be way too scared. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Especially now. So were you a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race? Yeah. See, that's the judge. Yeah, I didn't even go back there. Yeah. Was that the most fun on the planet to be a judge for RuPaul's Drag Race?
Starting point is 00:50:04 Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was like, how, my here. Why am I here? I was on tour. I was exhausted. And I was like, this is the coolest thing ever. Yeah. That'd be like a dream come true. I mean, that's amazing to be in the room with all that talent, would just be like so exciting. I think that would be like peak life to be a judge on RuPaul's drag race. Yeah. So kudos to you. Even though you eat all the drag. You will be. You will be. Just. be just eating the drag queen sandwiches, Megan. I am so late.
