Welcome Thursday listeners to the favorite part of our week, which is hearing from you. Love, love, love the voice of my mess. They are so much fun. And we want to get to know each of you better. So please join us behind the scenes on our Patreon site. Is it called site? No. Okay, sorry, Kylie, please just join us on Patreon. Does that work? Yeah. I'm starting to sound like one of those middle age people that call like the target. I'm going to the target. The talk. Yeah.

Shit. Poms is supposed to do that, not me. I'm way too, uh, technologically savvy to make a mistake like that. Well, then why don't you start the show? You're the star. You start it. Air-free pumps, you start the goddamn show. Um, welcome. Kylie, do we have that?

You're welcome. Well, what would I don't know? You've already said all this stuff. I wasn't going to say it again. I like that one. Welcome Kylie. That's how you should Well, what would, I don't know. You've already said all this stuff. I wasn't going to say it again. I like that one. Welcome Kylie. That's how you should all start it. Welcome Kylie and Richard and listener.

We are dying to hear what your iPads were so that we can grow our list of petty grievances. Oh, that was good, Pops. No wonder you're the star of this show. That's right. All right, Kylie who's first? Up first we've got Sarah E. I have fucking had it with mom groups on Facebook. Alright Kylie who's first. Up first we got Sarah E.

I have fucking had it with mom groups on Facebook. Never in my life have I ever witnessed such a dumpster fire of grown-ass women. Your kid has a rash on his ass cheek. Take a picture of it. Post it on Facebook and ask what it is. Your kid projectile vomited all over the backseat of your minivan on the way home from T-Ball. Post a picture of it. Ask of a bug's going around. Obviously, there's always a fucking bug going around because your sniveling shit back of a kid

puts his grimy little hands in every fucking thing then picks his nose and eats his fucking boogers, Janet. And you know what I've really had it with on the mom groups? Meal trains. This bitch in my neighborhood is having a minor surgery. Don't worry, we know every single detail of every goddamn ailment she's ever had. And she has the audacity to create a meal train for herself.

She has a husband and three teenage boys. Are you kidding me? Fucking had it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha What's his gal's name? Sarah? We need Sarah to come to Oklahoma City and be our friend. Sarah, that is so good because that just like speaks to the core of my being. I mean, a meal train, are you fucking kidding me? Hey, meal trains. Hate them. Well, I have never participated in one

because as we all know, I don't cook. Right, but you could send like a gift card to DoorDash or something. Here's the deal. The people that need meal trains are not ever middle class wealthy white women. Right, they don't. So I'm not giving them a meal train.

I'm not doing it. Especially if they have three teenage kids and a husband that has a car, I mean, go get your own food. Everybody has their own family. And I remember when I had my second child, people brought over food. Guess what happened?

Nobody ate it. Right, it didn't get eaten. And then I just, I hate it when women grandstand about like, oh, when I make my lasagna, I do a little layer of honey or whatever the ingredients is. Like they have fucking cracked the case on it. And I'm like put a sock in it. Yeah.

Nobody wants to hear about your recipe and how much better of a chef you are than everybody else. Right. No, it is green standing, no doubt. In the Facebook page with all the kid ailments, thank God, when our kids were super young, I think I joined Facebook in like 2009. And we were all so dumb when we first got on it.

Like we used it to communicate like Gen X or something, we were like, hey, what are you doing? Right. And then right in comment, now it's evolved into much more than that. Like, you know, now you would never communicate with anybody on Facebook, but I mean, unless you're complete red flag nut job.

But kids throwing up is not post-worthy or novel. No. Do you remember that when our kids were little since I had my oldest had all kinds of ailments and we all had the same pediatrician. And they would call me and say, okay, this is what's happening. I would diagnose them.

And then they would tell the pediatrician that I diagnosed him and he would get so mad at me. And I was like, but am I right? You're a total hypercontract. I'm not a hypercontract. Your kids are total hypercontracts. It's unbelievable. I remember when your kids were super little,

my kids were super little, I'd go to your house and my kids were gonna spend the night or something and then we were gonna stay up and have some wine and smoke some sakes. On your house on Whipperville, you had that little part like Peninsula Island and you would line up for each child all the medications they were on.

And it was unbelievable. Like singular, yeah, I remember. It was like here's Emily's line of pills, here's Sam's I remember it was like here's Emily's line of pills Here's Sam's line of pills and here's Luke's line of pills and it was like I mean at the time It's like they're two foreign six and they're each taken like seven pills per child And I remember just I think it was that it was it I absolutely am not your P.l. P.l. hypercontractor. Yes, you are. No, I'm not.

I'm not a hypercontractor. I'm like, pediatric pill pusher. You're the worst. You're the worst. I hate you. I hate you more, Kylie, who's next. Care of is a sponsor of today's episode. You know, pumps at our age, we have got

Jen and pumps. I am coming at you from Wisconsin and I have absolutely had it with getting up to the goddamn register and the cashier asking, would you like to donate a dollar and join the fight to end cancer with the American Cancer Society? Then I look like an evil bitch saying, you know, no, no, thank you not today. I mean, this literally just happened to me. I'm out of all greens.

And the kid behind me says loud enough for everyone to fucking hear. He looks at his mom and he says, I hope you choose to donate, mom. You know, then I feel the need to defend myself. And like, you know, no, I do donate and whatever, but it's just like, you know, I would have loved to look at him and like, you know, no, I do know Nate and whatever, but it's just like, you know, I would have loved to look at him and say, you know, fuck you.

You know, in fuck Walgreens corporate and all of their goddamn tax write offs. But yeah, I have just absolutely had it. That's fantastic because that happened to me this week, this very week. And I always say no. It's forced philanthropy. Right, and here's the deal. Walgreens is awful from the job. That is such bullshit.

It is forced philanthropy. Walgreens goes trotting around making billions of dollars in revenue. And instead of them being the philanthropic fuckers that they want us to be, they need to do it. I'm tired. All the tipping stuff we talked about a couple of times ago. What this is is corporations putting the burden

of all of this stuff on working class people. And I guarantee you their tax dodgers because all the breaks, all the tax breaks are for corporations like this. And they pay their employees probably minimum wage, which hasn't been raised in like a decade. So then instead of them saying, hey, you know what, American Heart Association,

American Cancer Association, here's a billion dollars because we have like hundreds of billions. Right. We're going to guilt our customers into donating. And we're going to make them look like assholes when our cashier calls it out. So here's what I have to say to Walgreens and to CBS. Pay your employees more and you donate them any. Right.

I don't want to be forced into philanthropy, nor shamed into philanthropy. It wants to, I want it to be my choice. Right. Well, it's the shaming. It's just the shaming like that you have to say, no. Like some places you go and I'll say, do you want to donate? And you can just hit no. There's not any. That needs to be removed. That needs to be removed.

But it's worse when they ask you. And then you've got that little thucker. I mean, I wish she would have just turned around and slapped the shit out of it. And his mother was probably like, oh, little Johnny. I mean, you just she would have just turned around and slapped the shit on it. And his mother was probably like, oh, little Johnny, I mean, you just know she was awful. If he felt liberated enough to say that loud enough for her to hear.

What a little fucker. He's a little shit. I wonder if his mom pushes pills on him. Fuck off. They were at Walgreens. I don't go to Walgreens. I've boycutted Walgreens years ago. I hate that place. You do? Why? Because don't go to Walgreens. I've boycutted Walgreens years ago. I hate that place.

You do? Why? Because you always have to stand in line. I mean, I just hate everything about it. What about CVS? I don't like that either. I mean, I, if I have to go in there, I might, but it would be like, again, to my head. Well, I think that she's on to something.

With the forced philanthropy, I think it goes right there with the tip jars. Starbucks, pay your employees a livable wage because Congress isn't gonna fucking do shit about it because they're too busy harassing drag queens. So corporate America, you donate the money. And you pay people a livable wage and get off our backs. Why do we have to pay all these people? They're the ones with all the billions of dollars.

When you get Bernie Sanders on this show. I'll work on it. Thank you. I'm sure he'll be first one at. I think he's probably had it with a lot of shit. He would probably be the king if I've had it. Totally, totally. Okay, Kylie, who's next?

I've had it is sponsored by BetterHelp. Jenny, as you know, I have been struggling my whole life with raging codependency, but it wasn't until therapy that I was able to identify this about myself. I've had the same struggles, pumps. Being in a relationship with a recovering alcoholic, I felt helpless and alone at so many points in my life. I personally have benefited so much from therapy. I had to really dig deep about myself in order to grow.

Yes, growing emotionally is such an important part of adulthood. If you are thinking of starting therapy, give better help to try. Discover your potential with better help. All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a license therapist, and you can switch therapists at any time for no additional charge.

Up next we've got David B. Hey everyone hope you're doing well. I just wanted to say what I've had it with is the QR codes at restaurants. First of all, it's not convenient for me to see an entire fucking menu on this tiny screen. I can't do it. Second of all, COVID is over as far as it pertains to the safety of shared pieces of paper. I think we can all agree on that. Third of all, it's gotten to the point with some of these restaurants that they want you to order from your phone, order additional things from your phone

like if you need another drink and then pay for your phone. If I wanted to sit on my fucking phone for an hour to get something done, I would have just stayed at home. I just want someone to help me, and I just want a regular menu. Is that too much to ask? I'll pay whatever you want. David, 100% right.

I hate, hate, hate hate the QR code menu. I refuse to do it. And I will sit there and say, I need you to bring me a real menu. She's like, well, you can find it on the QR card and I'm like, I can't, I need a menu. I mean, they act like it's but they're so but hurt about it. But oh my God, it drives me insane, the QR code.

And we need to keep some semblance of things like technology is great. It's great that series so God damn smart. She knows everything. But when we go to a restaurant, can we at least have the option to put our phones in our purses, zip them up, hold a menu like normal people, look at the menu, turn the pages of the menu, and I agree with him. I mean, they're still COVID, but with regards to your ability to get infected by touching a piece of paper, I think that's pretty much eliminating.

Right. No, I completely agree. And then he brings up another point. Some of these restaurants have started this whole thing where you sit down and there's like a little iPad type thing on the table. And you order your food from that and then you pay your bill from that and then somebody brings it out. And I just think at some point we have to have some semblance of lack of technology.

Right. And because honestly, part of the going to dinner is people putting their phones up at the table. Yes. But you're creating an atmosphere that everybody has to have the phone. Like when we go on our Thanksgiving trip, listener pumps, her kids, Josh, myself, my kids, we all go on Thanksgiving together and we go to dinner every night, we run a nice house, we go to dinner every night and we make everybody put their phones up. No phones at dinner.

And we all talk and engage. And then if there's the QR code, it's a dickover right to people that are trying to say, hey, for 45 to 50 minutes, possibly an hour, an hour and a half, if we're feeling ambitious. Right, that's ambitious. Can we keep the phone up?

And then they're cramming these QR codes. Right, no, it's horrible. And I do think you're in such a quandary if you're at one of those places that you order your food, you order a refill and you pay all from your iPad, do you really want to tip 20% but then you think, well, that's not the server's fault. Yeah, the corporation is greedy as fuck

and putting that making us pay for what they should be paying them. Right. And that's the deal listener. It's common theme in the last two callers. Corporate America is dicking us over and making us pay their employees, the salaries, when they have billions of dollars. And I'm sure right here, right now, from this podcast,

we'll get a lot of resolution on that subject. I bet Congress is already getting to work. Immediately acting. Immediately. Those people are sharp as tax over there in Washington, D.C. Immediately acting. Immediately. I mean, those people are sharp as tax over there in Washington, DC. Let me tell you. Okay. Last one is Jessica S.

So first of all, I just want to say that I really love you guys. When I have to travel for work, you really make things interesting. But okay, enough of that shit. So what I've had it with is when there is a lot of traffic, especially in the afternoons, getting off work,

and there's a line of traffic, and some fucker wants to come up the side of everyone else just so he can jump in front of you. Absolutely not, I will not let it happen. I will inch so close to the person in front of me that you can't put a fucking piece of paper in between us before you get in front of me. Or like on the interstate when there's a line of traffic and traffic stopped and people want to come up on the shoulder. Like I really hope that you get a flat tire on whatever trash is on the fucking side of

the interstate. And I hope that you don't have AAA. It's such a good one. Oh, it's so great. So it is so I get furious at people that try to get into. She is not going to have it. She's what I'm not going to have it is not happening on her watch. You could you could fit a piece of paper. I love that. I mean, you know, and she's right.

There's always some hot shot grandstanders. Always, always. That's got a big dick at over. Fly down the shoulder so that he can ram in front. And she will not. I love it. That she has a lot. Let him in.

I'm kind of the same way. I'm kind of in too, but I wouldn't go that aggressive. Like I'd be too scared. I would have a wreck. I'm going to start going to be aggressive. I mean, I think that's goals. Let's go for broke. And I think everybody should do it. So that person just sitting over there in the show, an hour on the other lane. Yeah, just stuck. It's like, sorry, sorry, getting lined with everybody else, motherfucker. Yeah, that's right. There's a line, starts back there. Oh my God, she's so rough at. Right. Right.

Yeah, Jessica, we're gonna model you. Yeah, and I think, I think that like, you know how, maybe it's like a four lane highway, right? And you're, maybe I'm in the second lane. Like, there's the fast lane, which is the left lane, and then one lane over. And about two miles out from my accident, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna start making it over.

Right. And then the people that won't let you get over, I wonder if she would be, I think she would let the person go if they're going against the grain to get it to the exit. Right, I think she's just saying, like you're not waiting your turn. Right.

Nobody wants to be here in this line, but we have to be here. Right. And you're trying to catch. She's not having it. She will not have it, not on her watch. No, she hopes they don't have AAA. And she hopes they get a flat. That was good.

It was so good. Okay. So that will conclude our bonus episode on this Thursday. Amazing, amazing listener had it. Amazing submissions. And the presentations are great. The presentations are 10 out of 10.

They are. I mean, seriously, these people are fantastic. They are. Yeah. You can tell they're all smart. Yeah, they are. For sure. Our people are fantastic. They are. Yeah. You can tell they're all smart. Yeah, they are. For sure. Our listeners are sharp. High IQ listeners.

High IQ listeners. That's right. For sure that have had it. Had it. And they oppose toxic positivity in all of its forms. Yes. She is not going to let that car scoot their way in. Flat tires.

Den matter. No QVR codes. None. And no forced philanthropy. And we're looking at you, Walgreens. You get your checkbook out. That's right. And you write the Cancer Society,

the big fucking fat check with fleacing us. And putting us on a spot. The putting on the spot in the shaping is the worst part. It's awful. Yeah. They need to do it. And then if they come back, if their response is, oh, we match it. I'm awful. Yeah. They need to do it. And then, and if they come back,

if their response is, oh, we match it. I'm like, well, no, no, no, you just do it. Do it for the sake of doing it. Right. Don't drag other people into it. Because if I'm doing something, I don't have to drag other people into it, whether that's a good choice or a bad choice,

I can stand on my own and do it. And there's just a lot of forced philanthropy out there. Agreed. Agreed. Listener, thank you so much. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.
