So we supposed to start the podcast.
One, two, three.
I mean, that was pretty good.
Right on the bat.
A seasoned pro.
I mean, it cold opened, just nail it immediately.
Before we start getting into everything we've had it with,
I want to share with you Kylie sent us a video that a woman sent to our Instagram.
Yes.
And she has a 13-year-old daughter, and the 13-year-old daughter was super stressed, had a lot of anxiety.
Yes.
And they started listening to our podcast together, and it helped this girl feel better that it
was okay to be annoyed or get upset about something that not everything in your life has to be perfect.
Your appearance doesn't have to be perfect.
Your feelings don't have to be perfect.
And this mom is from Texas, you're gonna know who you are.
And I wanna tell you how much your video meant to us.
Very touched, very much.
So anyway, let's get to that.
You know, there's no perfection.
Pumps, what have you had it with this week?
I've had it with you telling me that you and Tubby were the same age.
Like it was a normal everyday conversation that it wasn't weird at all.
I mean, you just looked at me say about our faculty and you're like, well, I mean, you just looked at me say about her faculty. And you're like, well, I mean, Tubby and I are the same age in dog years.
And I was just like, you're a fucking lunatic.
Okay.
Tubby's seven.
Tubby's seven is 49.
Right.
I'm 48.
I just think if you're supposed to be my best friend,
which apparently I was mistaken,
I should be able to tell you,
Tubby and I are the same age.
Here's the deal.
I get the dog ears thing, but it was just like it was,
like we were just having a conversation.
It was like, pass me the salt and pepper.
Well, you have to remember that you don't like animals.
And I do.
Okay, so that is something that listener, if you're new,
Pam's doesn't like dogs, treats her dogs like they're subhuman parasites. I treat their I treat my dogs like their dogs. I
don't treat them like they're my children. Well,
Tubby is my child. How can you be your child? You're the same
age and my companion. My son, my boyfriend, he feels a lot of
roles for me. And I'm sorry that you don't have this type of,
you know, three multi-dimensional relationship
in your life.
But what I'm hearing is better, part of one, your table is now available.
Right.
But we know that if you had to get a table, it would be a part of two.
Right.
You and Tebi.
And then I'd have to hear you talk about non-stop about how anti-dog you are and you think,
I'm not anti-dog, that's a lie.
You keep interrupting me.
It's because you're spewing nothing but bullshit.
No, no, your record, the permanent record
has reflected for many years now
that you are not a great pet owner.
I do think I had just, I had a valley, peaks and valleys. I'm in a
peak with blaze. I was in a peak with Bodhi, which was my dog when I was young. But scout,
the pulmarinean and I, that was my valley. Right. He was just so obnoxious. Right. And he
made blaze more obnoxious. But blaze is an angel now. The only thing it's the hair. I can't take the hair.
I just I think that, you know, at the end of life when we're in the assisted living
center, right? Okay.
If people were to come through and tell us how we performed as human beings,
I'm going to get an A plus as a pet owner.
You're going to get a C minus, okay? It's average at best.
I would say minimum B minus.
You go out of town and you just leave food and water for the dog.
No, I have somebody go check on it, but he does stay outside.
Right.
And that's what I'm saying.
That is C minus to D plus at best, okay?
When I go to town, my dogs have somebody that stays with them as a companion.
Right, but we've already gone over. You think of your dogs as people, and I just assume that my dog is a dog.
I've heard enough. I've heard enough of this abusive behavior towards animals, and I'm not going to tolerate it. And I want to move on to me with the last word. I have had it with couples that communicate with each other online via Instagram posts,
via Facebook posts, via tweets, via TikToks, and hang on.
I've had it with the same people that overuse Man Crush Monday and Woman Crush Wednesday.
Adnazian, we get it. We fucking get it. But here's what you're not getting. You're throwing out
red flags that in between these posts, we know there's a lot of fuckery going on. And I'm not talking
about fucking. I'm talking about fuckery, toxic
fuckery. I will have to give you 100% credit when Facebook just came out like it was new
and you would always say pull up this person. She and her husband are communicating on Facebook
like, oh, you're so great. Oh, I love you. Thank you for last night. You would always say that is the first sign
they're getting divorced and I think your track record is 10 out of 10 like when people start
communicating on Facebook you always say they're getting ready to get a divorce and today I've not known anybody that hasn't
based on that
assessment. First of all the listener and I would like to thank you
for pointing out how right I am.
And let me just tell you, it is a burden.
Yes.
Right all the time.
It is a burden.
It really is.
But it's true.
These people, it was like, I love my man,
or I'm cooking dinner for my man,
and then the husband responds, I love my wifey so much,
and I think that's a red flag
wifey. Well, yeah, probably I do. That's just I think it's wife. Okay. It's just wife. We don't
need to go with wifey. And then it's like, my man does this and this and this for me. And I'm like,
who are you, who are you advertising this for for each other? And then there's people that do
advertising this for for each other. And then there's people that do the woman crush
Wednesday, every Wednesday. And these are couples that have been together a very long time.
And I just don't think I think it diminishes when you post it so much. It diminishes the entire relationship because I look at it as show boating
and grandstanding.
Now, listener, there are times where it's my husband's birthday
or a child's birthday and I wanna do a sweet post,
even people with cold black hearts, such as myself,
have moments of kindness where I want to be effusive
and really tell somebody that I love them.
But I just think the people that are over the top, if people are really,
really, really in love, there is not this compulsion to describe it in painstaking
detail every Monday and every Wednesday.
And then the significant other comments, oh my God, baby, I love you so much.
This is the best thing everyone.
I'm like, somebody is fucking around.
100% and they want the mistress and or the lover
to see it.
That's what this is.
Or they're doing it.
It's like a makeup for the mistress.
Like, oh no, I'm gonna prove how much I love you
and I'm gonna post all this shit. And then the minute you walk out, I'm going to prove how much I love you. And I'm going to post all this shit.
And then the minute you walk out, I'm going to go sneak off and see my mistress.
I just think anytime you have somebody advertising something too much, right?
You know that that that it's a problem. I'll give you an example.
One day I was driving down by the bombing memorial in Oklahoma city.
And I was making a turn.
I wasn't going to
the memorial, but I had a meeting downtown. And I was making a turn, a left turn. This woman in a
Mercedes in front of me, she's making a left turn in front of me. All of a sudden, she stops,
mid intersection, puts her car into reverse. And I am laying on my horn, like honking, like crazy. Stop, stop. And she just backs into me.
It's like 10 a.m., right?
Well, she comes barreling out of her car.
She comes over to me and she's like, oh my God,
my husband owns a car dealership.
I, your car is fine.
Your car is completely fine.
I go, well, I mean, I just got it.
So let me just take a beat here.
Let me check it.
And she's like, are you gonna call the police?
I was like, pump the brakes.
Let me check my car really quickly.
Right.
And she goes, well, you know, you're the one
that was going forward.
And I went, you've stopped, put your car in reverse.
I was completely stopped and you backed into me.
And then she says, I am not a crazy bitch.
It's an advertisement that she's a crazy bitch.
I immediately knew this woman was beyond a crazy bitch. It's an advertisement that she's crazy bitch. I immediately knew this woman was beyond a
crazy bitch. She was the craziest of crazy bitches on the planet. I mean, fucked up out of her
mind, bitch. So, I mean, in tying that into these couples, I think if you have friends, or if you
are one of these people that are overtly advertising, how in love with you are, all too frequently on the internet.
It's a bad sign.
You're probably going to be calling pumps, attorney at law soon,
to represent you in your divorce proceedings.
I'll tell you another marker of a divorce is imminent,
is the renewing your vows.
That is like an advertisement that we will be divorced in five years, period.
I've never seen anything like it.
So have you represented?
Yes.
A lot of couples that have done that.
Like we renewed our vows three years ago and this is what happened and I'm like, probably
should have just gone to divorce three years ago.
So you've kind of collected that data.
I've collected that data in the totally. But let me ask you this, is there ever in your divorce cases like people whip out,
like on Facebook on this date, he said this to me or I know I haven't had that. It's more like
I hacked into his Facebook and here's his direct message. That's kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah.
It's it's always all this shit's going down in the DMs. Always in the DMs. There's a rap song going down in the DMs. Welcome to I've had it podcast. I'm
Jennifer M E and G. And we like to call her pumps. Today we have an incredibly special guest. She is
the co host of Mean Girl Pod. She is also a former employee of Jennifer Welch Designs,
and she also made me the world's oldest bridesmaid
about four years ago.
It's welcome to I've had it, Alex Bennett.
Hi, Alex.
Hi, you guys.
It's so good to see you.
You too.
This is fun.
It is fun.
Listen to what you need to know is that Alex worked for me starting what 2016 2015?
Yeah, 16 2016 and tell around 2019. I hung on. I
Really fizzled out like I didn't do a clean break. I remember the day. I told you I tried to tell you I was quitting and
Then we were both like well, I I'm going to move to California,
but I'm still going to work for you. It's a slow burn out.
I did do some work for her with the crates getting delivered to the Hawaii house or something.
We really know I was like six months of like lingering staying in place.
But I think it's interesting that Alex is on the show with us. So for all of you OG fans, right, pumps in me, you will remember
darling Alex on both sweet home Oklahoma and sweet home. She moves to LA and then she goes to
New York and now she has a podcast. Pumps and I are still in Oklahoma and now we have a podcast,
right? So it made perfect sense. We're all podcasters now. What happened? I never
if we told me where's everyone end up in three years, I'd be like, I don't know, but not here.
It's not here. I wouldn't have thought this. This is apparently where washed up
reality stores go die. Don't die.
Sure. Okay, I just have to make one point super clear. Do it for the listener. Okay.
Sure, okay, I just have to make one point super clear. Do it for the listener.
Okay.
Jennifer was the world oldest bride main
in Alex's wedding.
I used to tease her like I want a big chiffon,
big, big bell hoop, big sleeves.
Yeah, no, I just got so much mileage out of that.
She edited, I remember, I said,
because I was the bride.
Right, and the bride gets to pick the bride's dresses for the bridesmaids. And I brought the dresses
and I said, this is what everyone's wearing. And you're wearing this dress. She said, I'm
out. I'm not wearing that dress. Pulled up the website, picked her own dress, changed
three of the bridesmaids dresses and said, we're wearing that. And then goes, and you're
welcome because the one you picked wouldn't look good. So I was like, it's great.
I was at Bride's Made Zilla.
It was where I was.
He were.
So not only at the time was I 44.
And I mean, really pushing what visually made sense, you know, when you picture people
getting married, it visually didn't make sense, even though I look fucking awesome.
Right, right. But it visually kind of looked odd like, what's this old girl doing?
I was a bride's maid, Zilla.
And I remember it, she picks this wretched pastel pink dress.
I order it, as I'm supposed to.
Right, it comes in, I put it on and I'm like, oh hell no.
So I get on the same website and pick a different dress,
go ahead and order it because I figure at this point,
I'm going to ask forgiveness and not permission.
Sometimes that's the best.
And it's so much better.
Looking back at photos, I'm like, the pale pink would have been awful.
Right, you're welcome.
You knew right off the bat.
I knew.
I saved you because think about these pictures
are aging so much better now.
They're timeless.
They're aging like me.
Aren't they?
You look the exact same as you did then, and it's true.
You edited the dress.
And I remember I was just sitting there.
And I knew I was like, I don't have an option.
So I just said, OK, perfect.
It was, I was a total bridesmaid.
So it's unbelievable what a nightmare of her bridesmaid I was.
It was probably a power dynamic.
You're so much older that you could con her into any pain.
Probably.
And my boss.
My pain,
Louis was paying me.
Right.
Yeah, so definitely was a power dynamic issue.
So Alex, what we like to do on this podcast is we oppose toxic positivity in all of its forms.
Okay.
Oppose.
Yeah, we oppose it.
We don't think it's a sustainable activity to be positive all the time.
Okay, okay, okay.
You're setting yourself up for failure.
So what we like to get at is what are guests have had it with.
So why don't you tell us what you've had it with?
I think that you could run laps on me around it,
and maybe you, I'm not sure.
But it's English language, it's the English language as a whole,
but for a good reason.
Because the other day, so we all do, we create content,
right? Because you do a podcast.
Right.
I don't think content was a word like 10 years ago,
but maybe it was, but we weren't really talking about content
how we do today.
Right.
Like I constantly, I'm thinking about the word.
And I was trying to tell one of my friends
that I'm very content in Miami.
So I was typing it and I was like, I'm very content in Miami.
I was like, I'm very content in Miami.
So then I went to Google and I was like,
how do you spell that your content?
But then it was like, how do you spell that your content?
I was like, I'm trying to say that I'm happy
and I'm content content where I'm at.
And I was like, holy fuck, so I call my husband
and I'm like, what's the difference between content content?
And he's like, I mean, Google.
And he's like, well, I don't fucking know
are they the same thing?
And I was like, I don't know,
but like, how do you ask Google
to spell the words differently when it's maybe the same word,
but you can't spell it.
You can't tell Google you want content versus content
without saying content versus content.
And I was like, you've got to be joking me.
So I call one of my friends that's really good with words.
And I was like, is content and content the same?
Where she's like, yes, this whole thing, but it is.
And I was like, well, that's, that to me was absurd.
Then I started thinking about other things
that were similar to that.
And I'm like, imagine learning English.
And they're like, imagine learning English
and they're like, she'll, like she will,
like she apostrophe LL.
And then you wanna say like, she's a shell of a human being.
And they're the same exact thing,
but there's one of those little lines.
Like that's what you have.
I bet it's a minefield out there for you Alexa.
I mean, I bet that shit, like I left my dog at home.
I'm gonna turn left at the stop sign.
Right.
Same word.
You're right, but then you take a right at the building.
I'm got the, we do want to write.
Right.
This is a God damn minefield, but here's my problem.
You got one fucking language to learn.
I know, but I don't like the one we've got one.
There are people out there.
We suck as a country.
Do I?
America sucks because we all only speak English.
You get over to Europe.
People from the Netherlands and Belgium speak five to seven languages fluently.
And they're not hung up about content versus content.
But then it's like, you've got one language and it's like W-O-N or O-N-E.
Like I do know that one, but it's like,
that's what we have.
You got a nail, you got a master at Alex.
You have got to step up to the plate, sis.
You have got to step up to the fucking plate
and batter up on this thing.
Maybe you should try going to an English
as a second language or English for Demi.
I'm pretty good at it these days,
but there's another one that I was trying to think of.
Like the twos and the twos and the twos.
I understand the number needs to be different.
I think the T-O and the T-O-O we could loop together.
It'll be fine.
But, and I understand that there's different ones of those,
but content and content being the same word,
meaning two different things spelled the same?
It's called a homonym.
Yeah.
Didn't even know that existed.
Yeah, it's a homonym.
We are taught this in elementary school.
So what I want to say here,
too, you went to a public school
in the state of Oklahoma, right?
Yeah.
We, I think, are ranked 47th in education.
Now, so I want to say Governor Kevin Stead, listen, no further.
Then I've had it podcast and quit fucking around with the drag queens and find public education
for Christ's sakes.
Now, I think it's important to have that message out there because I'm 29.
Right.
And I didn't know that a hominem, you should have seen me in Graham Bennett trying to Google
on the plane.
What is the word for words that sound similar to other words that are spelled the same
it means two different things?
And we could have just Googled, can I have a list of hominems?
Yeah.
And I'm telling you, they're abundant.
Well, let me tell the listener something about Alex that is probably one of my favorite
qualities. I can tell you that when she worked for me, she was the first person at the
office. She was the last person to leave. She would pick up trash. She would sweep a floor.
She would do anything and everything. So, I mean, the best employee I've ever had. And always
with a smile, she was never in a shitty mood. She never took it out on anybody. And if she didn't know how to do something, she figured it out. She was a complete self-starter.
And so this combination of being such a hard worker and so smart and a problem solver,
but then being hung up and brain twisted over content and content for people that know you,
over content and content for people that know you,
it's charming and adorable. But I think for the internet, when they see a clip of this,
I imagine you probably get raked.
Raked over the cold.
Drug.
Drug.
But I've decided because I was forced with the choice
of do you wanna say it and have them drag you?
Or do you wanna be somebody different?
Right. And I was like, I like me a lot better when I say it.
Like, I don't know some of these things and that's okay.
Right.
And it's okay to talk about it.
It's an honest conversation.
Right.
Yeah.
It's okay to circle back to elementary school.
Yeah.
I printed out a map the other day to see if I could do it,
if I could label the states.
And like, I mean, I forgot that Georgia even existed. And it just, I got reamed for it. And I was like, but even, I mean, I forgot that Georgia even existed.
And it just, I got reamed for it.
And I was like, but you, I mean, like, could you,
maybe could you label truly the Northeast?
Could you do it?
Vermont, all those up there?
No, I don't think I could.
I could, I mean, I hate to.
I mean, if I had it in front of me
and I could narrow it down like process of elimination,
but if I was like on a clock or something now.
I could do it.
And I definitely could not do like Europe, Asia, Africa, all that.
Okay, so Alex, you have a podcast that you co-host at Barstall Sports called Mean Girl.
Correct.
And then there was kind of a kerfuffle about your podcast, right?
Yes.
So like, I kind of got the cliff note version for our listener is you and your girlfriend
have a podcast about girl stuff.
Yes. 20s, 30 something,
navigating early adulthood.
Correct.
Would that be right?
That would be right.
And so then you had a coworker
that got upset about this.
So why don't you tell our listener,
pumps not gonna weigh in on this.
So tell us, tell us kind of after that what happened.
So your coworker, what she do?
Okay, so my coworker wrote a blog saying,
the mean girls have to be stopped.
I think the most important thing is these clips crush
because they make the internet feel some type of thing.
We always say silence is feedback.
If no one's saying anything about your podcast
or clips or anything, then you're not doing your job.
Wait, I have a question.
She said the mean girls need to be stopped.
What does, what needs to be stopped?
What needs to be stopped is these clips that
Barstools choosing to post. Okay, so we record the episode for an hour our producer clips 18 of them
Okay, and we send them all to the main account guys. They go through them a lot of them
I would say 18 of them have like a lot of substance and
You know that barstool world's not gonna Right. And then you've got these two.
Right. And we're like our dinosaurs real.
Did you believe that died?
Did you for a moment like suspend?
Do I think dinosaurs are just sure I know there's been fossils that are found.
Oh, okay.
And I'm not, but I'm like great.
I'm good either way.
Okay.
Right.
So this goes through every day.
So this video obviously for obvious reasons, the optics of you and attractive blonde girl
saying something did see goes viral on the internet.
Goes viral on the internet.
Okay.
That everyone was like, that's hilarious, that's funny.
And so the girl is like, they need to be stopped.
Well, that was the week before is the dinosaur clip.
Okay, and everyone's like, what's going on with that?
The week after that, we're riffing on handwashing,
which everyone in our office does,
this handwashing clip where they're like,
we don't always wash our hands.
Then I said, people didn't wash their hands back in the day
and they had far less diseases.
I know that that is not true.
Right.
I am fucking with everybody when I say that.
Okay, okay. I'm smart enough to know there was more just like we can go down the whole thing.
You don't when you're on these mics, you're not eat. You're just talking to the person.
Right, right. So that clip goes out viral viral. And I mean, I'm sure a bench of
Haderade in the comment section. I'm sure I've never read them, but yeah. Yeah, I'm sure it's just,
but hey, you know what,
I'm down for any type of comments.
But you're like, okay, stat wise, this is a banger.
People are, it's driving traffic over to the pod.
Did it?
I didn't even pick it, and it's just like,
I didn't even know the clip went up.
These hand-washing dinosaur clips,
I'm cracking my ass up at it,
and I don't think a thing up.
They don't harm anybody.
Okay. They come out harm anybody. Okay.
They come out.
Our coworker writes this, just this blog.
I actually haven't still read it,
but I, because I got to the third line, I'm just crying.
I was, I was bawling.
Is it hurt your feelings?
I was sad.
Yeah.
I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on.
I'm like, we're just having fun.
Did she talk to you about it or did she say it?
Nothing.
So she never said, hey, Alex, I think your content is shit.
Not one thing.
It was straight to the internet.
Immediately to the internet.
Right to the internet first.
And I was like, whoa, because she was saying, like, we make all the girls there look bad.
And I was like, that's hard to deal.
Like that.
So my, I'm sorry, my dyno clips making us all look bad.
Right, I'm good with that.
If that's who's making me look bad,
like I'd rather have a dumb friend
than I would have a mean friend.
That's true.
All that 100%.
And so, you know, you have to check yourself, though,
when a hater comes, you have to say,
and I sat there, and you know me growing up,
if somebody told me something,
I would just like change as a person.
But when you're forced between,
this is what contents taught me, pleasing everybody,
or saying, I like who I am and I'm okay
with what everyone thinks.
And that's what was going on inside of me was like,
are she saying we're an idiot
and that we're affecting everybody bad
and that we're dumb and all of these things.
And then I was like, gonna go to defend it.
And I was like, well, you can't defend who you are.
Like, that's just it.
So the basis of it was so hurtful
because it wasn't like she was saying,
you guys are sluts talking about the sex stuff.
It was the thing that got it,
it was just us being silly, and I was like,
I think the internet could use a little bit more silly.
Like, our hearts were in the right place.
That's what hurt so bad about it.
Well, my thing is, is,
number one, you should be flattered,
because that took a lot of energy,
on her part, to put that much into it,
because I would probably guess,
is she have a podcast?
Have you ever written an article about her podcast?
Right, right.
I've never written one about a podcast.
Well, maybe you can watch one. You can write one about. I've had it. Oh, there we go. I
cried because I'm my first one. But I think that, you know, for me, when I see something
that I don't like or I see something, I just simply move on. But my problem with the
friend, what's the girl's name? Kelly. Kelly is, if I have a problem with a co-worker,
I'm going to tell the co-er, right, woman to woman.
I think it's chicken shit to go straight to the internet,
whether people believe what she has to say,
whether there's any veracity to any of her sayings,
that's one thing, but if I had a problem with pumps
or with Kylie or with Richard,
I'm gonna go directly to them.
I'm not gonna come sit down in this chair
and surprise them with a tack on the worldwide fucking web.
It's chicken shit.
Well, then you're just, you just check your phone
on a Monday and noon and you're like,
what?
Holy shit.
So what's it like, do you still see her?
I, well, I saw her yesterday.
We just made eye contact.
She texted us and was like,
if you guys wanna talk,
and it's just like, it's one of those things.
Barstall is a place where you can do that.
This was like, we were making all the women look bad.
And then she was saying she was trying to help us,
but if you're trying to help us, you talk to us.
You know what I would say if I saw her?
You did your job, that's your job. That you're allowed to do that.
It hurt me, but I'm not mad.
And I'm thankful for it.
I told Graham if we could do it again, I would do it again.
Well, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for asking me.
Well, you're team Alex.
Thank you.
And Kelly can fuck right on off.
I don't think there should be teams.
Let it be known.
That's what your friends do.
Your friends stand up for you.
You know, I mean, you can take the high road's a trick. You're friends stand up for you.
You know, I mean, you can take the high road.
Pumps and I'll take the low road fuck off Kelly.
Well, and I think that's just one thing.
Fuck off Kelly.
One thing that we haven't addressed yet, Jennifer,
and I know you're gonna be so excited is,
you and Alex have the connection
if she worked with you,
but Alex and I were in the same sorority.
Oh my gosh, that's right.
So we are sisters.
You are sisters.
She says it's a cult.
Do you think it's a cult, Sporty?
You know, looking back on it,
I do have an interesting thought.
I don't think it.
She was not near the hardcore sorority girl that you were
because when she came to work for me,
she never brought it up.
I mean, you are like a net about it.
Coltmother.
So like, when Alex, whenever you do get pregnant
and you have a daughter, will your ambition for her be,
for her to be the president of a sorority house?
No, but I think it's hard to say until I have her.
Like I see she did in utero.
Right, you did.
It's a girl and I immediately went there.
You said no, it's not it's a capa.
It's a capa.
That's it.
That's a capa in there.
Yeah.
Okay, so we have a new game that we're going to play with you
and it is called Had it or Hidden.
Oh my God.
Welcome to Had it or Hidden.
I would hit it. Had it. Had it. Oh my God. Welcome to Had It or Hit It. I would hit it.
Had it.
I hit it every day sometimes twice a day.
Had it or hit it?
Kanye West.
Had it.
He's got to go.
Had it agree.
Got to go.
Had it.
And I go.
Self-tanner.
Oh, I would eat it if I could.
Hit it.
Hit it.
Saw some stuff on the internet about your orange hands.
I love them. I love them. I put on blue the other day and this girl helps me
with my styling and she said, that's our new color. It deoranges you. And then she was
like, I know you're taking that as a compliment. I was like, I am. Absolutely. Okay. Influencing.
Um, I, you know what? I think a year ago, I would have said, had it, but I'm in on it.
You're hitting it. I'm hitting it. For me, it's like some of the influencing is too much.
Like there was recently like a woman that's influencing it and it's like, school drop off look.
I'm like, if you're faking planning out what you're wearing to drive your kids to school in
Carpool, it's too much. Well, I mean, you have bigger problems
than what you're wearing to Carpool.
If that's like the focus of your life
that you're gonna, like, put it on the internet.
It's just too much.
It's just ridiculous.
It's too much narcissism
that you're sitting there thinking about
what you're gonna wear to drop off a preschooler.
And that you think other parents
give a flying feck what you're wearing?
Yeah.
I would think that you wouldn't have the time.
I don't know I've never done drop-off, but... You don't. Okay. You what you're wearing. Yeah. I would think that you wouldn't have the time. I don't know, I've never done drop off, but.
You don't.
You don't.
Okay. Okay.
Had it or hit it, group texting.
Hit it.
Oh.
I know you guys are, are you guys very anti it?
Are you very anti it?
Yeah.
Had it.
To not text that I'm in, I turn on the mute notifications
because it's just, I mean, it's like an intercontinental
ballistic missile going on in your fucking hands. You're just going crazy. Yeah, I turn on the mute notifications, because it's just, I mean, it's like an intercontinental ballistic missile going on in your fucking hands,
you're just going crazy.
Yeah, I don't love it.
I think it's like a party.
I used to hate them because I couldn't keep up with them,
but now I like them.
Okay, it's like a park.
I had it or hit it.
Unlitenism.
I've had it overused.
One more time.
Unlitenism. I don't know what it means. Un-we're just if I could- I did it! She's-she's-that-that loaded up so excited. I had to
break pumps in on it. I had Kylie and I made the word up this morning. I had to
bring everybody in on it just to fuck with you.
Because when you worked for me, I did this shit to you all the time.
It used to be all the time.
I'd be like, I don't know.
I was talking about you, the face that you were making.
And you made it.
Pub, she were incredible.
You were incredible.
Like the actress.
You did it right on the stage.
She did it so good.
It happened with toxic positivity at the beginning
because I don't actually know what the term means.
Right.
And then on top of that, you said we're anti or something
and so I was like, holy shit.
I don't know what's like.
I don't know if we're forward or against it,
but then you gave me the clues.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Had it or hit it, merit a advice.
Well, I don't want to receive it,
but I do find myself giving it.
But don't tell me anything about mine.
I'll be like, shut up, hook up.
So is there a middle?
Oh, a double standard.
I'm totally hypocritical on it.
We are too.
Okay.
I mean, we're hypocritical pretty much about everything in this podcast.
Yeah.
So, yeah. So, marital advice, I would definitely say, if I can hit the bricks, I've had it.
Don't give it to me.
But if you came to me, Alex, I mean, I've given you a shit ton of marital advice.
I think you've given me the most valuable marital advice.
Listen to that.
Oh, God, you just are meeting her ego.
You got it. But it was so pivotal at the beginning. Well it was.
You know, I think that because my marriage has been such an abject failure.
You know that.
Jews and Downs. That's who I want the advice from though.
I've lived both sides. Josh and I've been very happily married. And I mean,
God damn, we have been rearranging the deck chairs on the
Titanic. Right.
Missorable. Yes. And so I, I think that the people that say stuff like, we never go to bed
angry. Oh, that's where shit. I think they can fuck right on off. Right. That is not sustainable.
It's not sustainable and just lead with kindness. No, sometimes I want to lead with, I'm so pissed off.
And that's okay. Right. But the person that's gonna give me the advice though,
I thought about this the other day
because I was listening to a girl
and she was like, the only reason I'm here
is because I failed so many times and fucked up
and I was like, okay, so then you do know.
Right.
It's relatable, because nobody's got the perfect marriage.
No.
Despite what people like to put out there
on their Instagram and stuff.
Right.
Totally.
I mean, it's hard.
Living with anybody is hard. Oh, yes. Right, I mean, it's hard. Living with anybody is hard.
Oh, yes.
And then I think with a marriage,
you start off crazy in love when
it jump each other's bones all the time.
Right.
That kind of fades.
And then you move in together.
And then at some point,
you can look over at this person
and the way they're breathing.
Right, just makes you want to go crazy.
Just get right under your skin.
And then four weeks later, you can back,
oh my God, I'm madly in love with this person again. It's like a total schizophrenic style thing. Yeah. Last night Graham was snoring and he's never snored.
And I woke him up for and then this morning I was mad at him. I was giving him the cold shoulder.
And he came over and he said, I got to tell you the first thing about snoring is I can't control it.
I don't know I'm doing it. And I was like, you remember when you traveled with me and we would share Ram and I snored.
Yes. And you recorded me. And I was up all night. She was traveled with me and we would share a room and I snored. Yes.
And you recorded me and I was up all night.
She was up all night, plus her heart.
His worst gram or Jennifer.
Well, Jennifer.
I've been married to gram for four years and he had his snored once and I spent one
nine oh tell him what they're not.
I was like, all right.
Have you?
No, we're doing it.
She had it.
She had it and she's Alex is so she's like, okay, listen, you were snoring.
She kind of gets it off her chest and then I'm like, Alex, I'm sorry, she's like, it's okay,
let's go have a great day. I mean, she's so positive. It's so great. Okay, finally, Alexa,
had it or hit it hand washing. Um, hit it. Look at this.
Hit it. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Look at she's washing her hands, everybody.
All you fucking haters, Alex is washing those orange hands of hers and you can fuck right
on off.
But you told me one time in an airport that hand sanitizer does more for you than washing
your hands in an airport because there's so many germs in the airport bathroom.
And I do abide by that rule.
Unless it's, you know, if you have to touch like all the handles and all that,
then it's like all the people that have touched it.
Now the touchless one.
That's fine.
That's fine.
But yeah, if it's like you have to turn the faucet
on all that, I'm like, fuck this,
I'm doing hand sanitizer.
I don't want to get all the additional vaginal germs
from others on my hands.
And the actual airplane bathroom is,
that's the worst.
Oh, the worst. I mean, that's disgusting.
It's totally disgusting.
I'm not even a germaphobe like I don't ever even consider germs ever except an airplane
bathroom.
Yeah, same.
It's awful.
It's really bad.
Alexa, it has been such a pleasure to have you in Oklahoma City.
Thank you.
You're now fun for all of us that we have all got to sit up in the gutter together.
Making podcasts.
You know, it's our most asked when we do
send in mean girl questions.
Yeah.
Everyone will be like, they'll send in
Howard Jennifer and Pumps.
And so one day back in December,
my co-host Jordan, she didn't know anything about me.
We didn't really know each other when we started.
And she came up to me and she was like,
was there like a reality show or something?
And I said, yeah, and she said, I had no idea,
but people keep asking us that.
And I was like, yep.
Well, here's what you've had people say.
Like Kylie will put on who,
who, what guest you want to have on it?
People say, Alex Bennett.
And I always have called her from the day
that I met her, Alexa Marie.
So y'all might know her as Alex Bennett,
but to me, she will always be my sweet little Alexa Marie
who I adore so much.
And we cannot thank you enough.
Thanks, Alex.
