So are we supposed to start the podcast? Ready? One, two, three. It's a great day at I've Had It podcast. Meemaw's here looking like a million bucks. How are you today? I'm good. Do I look like a little Easter egg?

No, you don't. Okay, good. You look very chic. You look great. Chic might be an overstatement, but I appreciate the effort. Meemaw, what have you had it with? Okay, I have fucking had it. I'm going bananas. When people open bags of chips or crackers and they don't put a clip on it or they don't roll it back up. And by people, I mean my children. I am so tired of opening like a box of Cheez-Its to find that it's completely stale. Chips, same thing.

It's not hard. Fold it over, put the chip clip on it. The chip clip's sitting right there in the pantry. You cannot miss it. I had to throw like six boxes slash bags away this weekend because somebody opened it, took one serving and then it's ruined. Here's what I think you do. Quit feeding them. Just say, that'll teach them. Y'all are disrespecting the food.

Right. Therefore, I'm not buying the food. They're at an age where you can do that. They're not like under 12. These are adults. These are adults. You say children. All three of your children These are adults. These are adults. You say children, all three of your children are legally adults. 18 and a Beth. Yes. And it's just so annoying.

And a lot of times, I don't know if your kids do this, they'll finish a box of something and just leave the box in the pantry. So I don't know I need it. No, they don't do that. But I don't, I'm not a big purchaser of snacks. I don't have a lot of snacks sitting around the house. So if they were to eat snacks, I would probably never go back in to eat it myself, because I try not to eat what I refer to as empty calories. I know that sounds really sanctimonious and ridiculous, but I'm not a big snacker. Yeah, I was so irritated because I bought two new boxes of cereal last week Both had to throw away yesterday

Because we just couldn't put a clip on the bag that they're in I would just stop buying the cereal They'll just have to starve it out. They can get in their cars and go get it You would think that would be possible wouldn't you? I think that'd be an easy fit All right. Let me tell you what I've had it with. When you are waiting to make, to pull out into a intersection, to pull out on the road, and there's all of these cars coming, and you're waiting for this one car to pass,

and then all of a sudden they turn right, and they never put their blinker on so that you could have turned at least seven seconds prior. And it just infuriates me when people do not signal that they're going to turn so that oncoming traffic can, you know, proceed. I've had it. Well, I think it goes back to the lack of self-awareness. They think they're the only car on the road. But I have to tell you, I mean, driving brings out the absolute worst in me. I get so angry and so mad, and I have a critique

for everyone in front of me. When I know I'm a terrible offender, but there's just nothing about driving that is soothing. I just feel like I'm on high alert when I'm driving, and when somebody does that to me, I just wanna honk, honk, honk. Yeah, I'm on high alert when I'm driving and when somebody does that to me, I just want to honk, honk, honk. Yeah.

I'm a complete schizophrenic when it comes to driving. I am in my mind raging at the people around me. But then when I commit the offense, I'm like, calm down, life's short. What's wrong with you? I'm just a total hypocrite on the driving issue. 100%. I mean, everything that I would do, like if somebody honks at me, I'm like,

fucking titty baby enough. Right. If the roles were reversed, I'd be the first one. The other day, my youngest and I were driving. And I switched lanes, and I wasn't paying attention. It didn't signal. I didn't signal. I didn't. Lack of like self-awareness, lack of self-awareness, all of it. So I cut this guy off and he comes up next to the car and he's like flipping me off, like giving me the bird. And my youngest is like, Mom, he's flipping you off.

And I'm like, I kind of appreciate it. I fucked up. They're calling me out on it. I don't have any problem with it because he was right and I was wrong. Yeah, you deserved it. I deserved it. And I kinda, you know, I'm a big fan of the bird. Yeah, I am too.

I like it. I like it too. When somebody takes the time to flip you off, I'm in. I absolutely appreciate the bird. I really do. I never really get mad or offended if somebody flips me off. I'm always like, you know what? It's ballsy and I like it. I like it. It's kind of like when people give us hate comments. They took the time to write it. I really like it.

I feel like it's appreciation on some level, whether it's appreciating hate, right? But they're taking the time to do it. There's time and care put into it. Right. And honestly, the negative emotions, there's more into that than being like all of this effusive praise. I mean, like if I'm going to go write a hate comment, which I never do, but if I do, my heart rate is going to be a lot higher than if I write, oh, that's so cute. 100% agree.

My heart rate is not going to change with the change with all that's so cute or some red heart emojis, but if I do the middle finger emoji, heart rate's probably going to come up five to eight beats a minute. Right. And I feel like we're kind of living in their head for a minute. Like we're rent free. Maybe it's two, three, four, five seconds when you're driving or maybe a minute with a hate comment, but it's like we've entered their headspace.

Yeah, I like it. I like it too. Welcome to I've Had It, where we, I guess we thrive in the negativity. We thrive in negativity and I also think that says a lot about our psyche that we prefer people to flip us off. That's right. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie.

And she is all of the things that we always discuss. Kylie, do you have any reviews for us on the World Wide Web? I do. No middle fingers, but I've got some five stars. This one's from Emily, your number one fan, and it's titled This Podcast Changed My Life. Hang on. Is this Emily Pumps' daughter? No, I don't think so. That was my first thought. Like it's a five star review. It could be- Biggest fan. Biggest fan, it could be her. A different Emily, okay.

This says, I stumbled onto these two hipsters via TikTok and have been listening to their enlightening podcast ever since. Every week these youthful ladies are putting out such positive, uplifting content that has truly changed my life for the better. They are true patriots and we are hashtag blessed to be following their journey.

Also, I don't know who needs to hear this, but Angie, AKA Mima, is on the market and looking for eligible men or women. So if you're interested, you should slide into her DMs. She's probably too good for you, but it's worth your shot. I love that. Number one, we're patriots. We're on a journey.

We're all the stuff. She hit all the things. The only thing that kind of was like, everything was smart ass, and perfect, and clever. But then she said youthful. And I thought, that means she thinks we're old. There's just no other takeaway. Here's the situation. We're not old.

But we're not young. No situation. We're not old. But we're not young. No, but we're not old. I mean, I think that people, you know what old people are. We're not old. And I mean, a lot of people our age are out kicking ass and doing shit. I mean, granted, you are significantly older than me. Four years is not significant.

Five years. No, it's not. It's four. You were born in 74. I was born in 70. I'm 49, how old are you right now? 54. That's five. But you have two months.

4.5. Four and a half's good. 4.5 years. 4.5 years. But right now it's technically five. We're gonna do a month count. Yeah, all right. Any others?

I've got one more from Brett, and it's and five stars and he writes, Hey, patriots, I've workshopped this review over multiple weeks and finally pulled it out of the parking lot. If you've had more abortions than appendages, salivate over Donald Trump's impressively small one, or just simply like to see or hear a lady in advanced age clap her way out of this world, this is your unhappy place. These women have grifted me out of $4.99 a month to be a new recruit into their cult of hipsters with the grievance on Patreon. I now pledge allegiance to them weekly, discussing both issues that already drove me mad to new

ones I now deeply care about, i.e. the war on ketchup. Join us because heaven is here on earth and I actually now believe that. I love that. I love that. Brett and Emily, I just have to keep saying this over and over, but our listeners are smart and clever. They are. And I love that collectively as a group, we're taking back the word patriot. Listen up, patriots. One big thing that we have brought to everybody's attention is the war on ketchup, which I want to

extend to the war on condiments in general. Right? These restaurants are stingy. They're stingy. They're stingy. You go through a drive-through, and you ask for barbecue sauce for your nuggets, maybe some honey mustard, maybe some ranch, or some ketchup. You literally are begging for your life at the window.

And then they're so stingy because they had some dorky Zoom meeting where they decided that they were going to gatekeep the condiments, and we've had it. Share your condiment war stories with us in our Apple reviews, and let us know what's going on. Right, Pumps? Exactly.

OK, I have a question. How do you feel about charging for ranch on the side? I'm fine with that. I'm kind of fine with that too. I'm fine with that. That's the one condiment that I'm like, okay. Because I feel like the other condiments, they're pre-packaged, they come with it,

shouldn't cost extra, but usually the ranch, they have to pour it into a separate container. So I'm okay with the side of ranch. I'm fine with it. Yeah. I don't have, I don't take issue with that. I take issue with the items that are sold specifically with different dipping sauces, like nuggets into the nugget world. And then you're fighting for your life at the drive-through or on Postmates. Here's a prime example.

I ordered a breakfast burrito the other morning from Postmates. Here's a prime example. I ordered a breakfast burrito the other morning from Postmates. I went into the notes and the checkbox that I wanted four packets of salsa. Four. Guess how many I got? One. Goose egg. Bagel. Zero. I didn't get any salsa. What good is a breakfast burrito without salsa? So I sat there and I ate it and I was miserable about it. I ended up giving half of it to the dogs who are supposed to be on a diet, but that's neither here nor there because it just didn't have the same punch without the salsa. There's just nothing worse than when you're all ready for a salsa or like as hot sauce.

I needed my tongue to burn. Right. I was craving a tongue burn. God, the fact that there was none, that's disappointing. I went to the refrigerator, I had none in there because of the aforementioned opposition to snacking. So I fucked myself on that. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Speaking of our cult and how clever and smart our listeners are, we're going to hear some of their grievances today. We asked our cult members what they had had it with, and Kirby chimes in,

my mother-in-law, I've had it, middle finger emoji. Short, sweet, to the point. And this reminded me of a story about Pumps and her mother-in-law. Oh God, I hated her. And Pumps hated this woman more than anything on the planet. And I'll never forget, I was in a bookstore and my phone rang. The caller ID said pumps. I answered the phone.

Hello. And pumps said she died. I was like, who? She said my mother-in-law, I've got to go. Bye. That was it. Yeah. And you know, I've often thought about my laissez-faire attitude about that and realized I have two boys. One of their wives or husbands is going to fucking hate my guts because that's just karma.

I mean, I was not a great daughter-in-law, i.e. I had a bad mother-in-law, but that's, I wasn't great, I could have been better. But I just think about all the time, you know, how many women do you know that love their mother-in-law, that are just like over the moon about their mother-in-law? Not many. Not many.

And we have four boys between us. So, I mean, there's just a really good chance that, I mean, 50% chance for both of us, one of them is going to hate us. Well, you know, in the instance of your mother-in-law, there was a lot of cuckoo for cocoa puffs going on there. 100%. And you and I were just talking outside before we came in here that sometimes when people die there's this expectation to have revisionist history. For sure. On who the person is. And sometimes they're not worthy of the revision.

Right. Sometimes they just weren't that great. They weren't that great alive and death doesn't make them any greater. And, you know, I think I would appreciate obituaries that were more accurate. Right. Like, listen, this person was about a four out of 10 on a good day. She was a bitch most of the time. Right. She had these glimpses and moments of kindness and that's what gets her up to a four.

I think that would be better than the grandstanding and showboating and the obituaries, because if you read the obituaries, you would think that every single person that died was exceptional. And I don't know about you, but when I'm out in the world, I know that that is not true. I know that the obituaries are full

of lies and gaslighting. No, I have read so many obituaries and I've been to so many funerals that I am like, did they know this person? Because the person I know sounds nothing like this person. I mean, it is just unbelievable. And I do think there's a huge revisionist history in death. I don't think anybody is going to say, they were just kind of a shitty person. Like we tolerated her. She was okay. Didn't love her. I mean, you just don't say that in an open, but when it's super flowery, I just think people are inclined to feel bad after somebody dies, feel more guilty about it. Don't you think? Or do you think it's just rose-colored glasses?

I think it's rose-colored glasses. And I think that probably when people die, it triggers our own mortality. And you probably have this flash that life is hard. And it's better just to remember the good times. But that's what I appreciated about you when your mother-in-law died. You went straight to, she died. I never liked her. I'm never going to like her. And now I don't have to talk about her anymore. And I really appreciated that. I'm very pragmatic. Yes. All right. Next up we have Julie Ann Frazier and she says, I've had it with my job that consists entirely on waiting on other people

to respond to emails to accomplish anything. I die a little more inside having to send that follow-up email saying, sending this to the top of your inbox, I'm on an email hamster wheel and I've had it. I relate to this so much because when we do stuff for the podcast, oftentimes we have representatives that have to take charge of emails on our behalf. And I hate it because I'm the type of person, I just want to go straight to the source. Here's what we have available, are you available on this date at this time? The person says yes and we're done.

But instead our representative is speaking to somebody else's representative and something that could be solved in like two hours goes on two weeks. And I die, I die at the delays, it seems so inefficient. And I die, I die at the delays. It seems so inefficient. 90% of the time, there's a lot of circle jerk in emails. There's just a lot of circle jerking.

Well, that's where all this corporate speak lives. Yes. Sending this to the top of your inbox. Right. I'm circling back with you on this. You know, it's just there's just a lot of lollygagging in the email communication, especially when you don't get to talk to the very person

with whom you want to do business. You have to talk to their assistants, their, you know, the people who, their handlers, their agents. And I would rather just be like, hi, Jennifer Welch, I've had a podcast. I'd like to have you on the show. And the person says, great, here's my availability.

I'd have that shit done in 15 minutes. I cannot stand the drag out of two to three to four to five days, and I just don't like slow email returners. Fucking fire it back immediately. Yeah, you're a fast returner. Sometimes if I've been on another lawyer, like get back to like, get back to me, get back to me, get back to me, and I hear nothing and I hear nothing and I follow up emails and I follow up emails, when that person needs me to do something, I slow play it on purpose.

Just like, fuck you. Okay, M says, I've had it with stupid t-shirts. I just saw someone with a t-shirt that said, raising little disciples. Why would you order from a website that uses child labor just to wear a t-shirt that says, the man, the myth, the legend, with an arrow point down to your crotch. Was the was the t-shirt that says I put ketchup on my ketchup worth the manpower and co2 emissions that went into shipping it from Vietnam to America? I've had it. What the man that's the legend.

So stupid. Shirts with words are awful. Unless I say I've had it. You know where the capital of this is? The United States. 100%. I was going to say there's this on Instagram. You always get this ad for this store that has nothing but personalized t-shirts.

And the sayings are so fucking embarrassing. I was like, nobody, nobody would buy this shit. And then the next week I see it again. So people are obviously buying, I mean, the sayings are so stupid. You know where these are ubiquitous. Where? Trump rallies. Oh my God, they have the pictures. You even see white Caucasian people wearing t-shirts that say blacks for Trump. Oh, is that right?

Oh my God, I've missed that. Have you not seen that? No. Yes. Yes. It's just, it's nuts. And it's like, you know, all the, all the photographs of the lion and Jesus and then the homoerotic Trump and I'd rather be Russian than be a Democrat.

So stupid. God, guns and country. The ones that send me into orbit, obviously the ones with his picture with the 12 pack abs, which we know is a lie. But the God and Guns one, I just want to rip it off and go, these two should not go together. But you think they do because you're here at a Trump rally, sucking the dick of the mushroom penis, swing for the fences. All right, here's one.

This is from Lucy. I've had it with marathon runners. Aside from the money they raise for good causes, I don't care about your training schedule, your long runs, your routes, your goal time, your participation medal, your social media posts during the marathon, how you how you're sore after what you ate after, and most importantly, why you were so glad you did it and recommend it to everyone. Guess who won't be on the pickleball court by age 60 because their knees are shot? Not me, says Lucy. There's a lot of fuckery with the marathons. Yeah, there's a lot of advertisement with marathon runners. Here's the thing about the marathon runners.

I admire the ability to just pick up and run. Like Josh Welch can be sitting here and he'll say, I'm gonna go run six miles and he can go do it. I can't do that. I mean, even if my life depended on it, if Ollie was in the middle of the street and I had to like sprint for a mile, I couldn't do it. So I'm fascinated by these people that can run 26 miles.

I think it's amazing. But I do think there's a lot of posting, especially about what we're gonna eat before, what we're gonna eat after. It just goes back to the, all of the fuckery going on with exercise and social media. Narcissism and exercise, you called it years ago. Just a lot of it. Okay, this is from Kate. I have had it, fucking had it with delicate people at work being coddled

and treated with kid gloves like they will break if we all don't go out of our way to be super sensitive and careful with them. First of all, it is work. Get a grip. If you can't come to work and function appropriately, stay home. Second of all, we all go through shit. We all have horrendous years and unless we are independently wealthy, we have to keep functioning at work. It is not my colleagues responsibility to help me manage my problems when they arise. That's why I have friends and a therapist. And if there's a day when I just can't do it, I stay the fuck home.

I don't make my colleagues tiptoe around me and coddle me as if I'm a little titty baby. I'm so sick of watching the fragile people at work be taken such good care of while those who are the more resilient and barely acknowledged when we are working successfully during some really difficult times. I've had it with the titty babies at work. I could not agree more. I think this is epidemic. I think it's going to get worse with this new generation coming on. First of all, I'm not a super sensitive person. I would not going out on a limb to say you're not a super sensitive person. You have to compartmentalize and you have to work. When you're at work, you work. And Kate probably has as bad, if not worse

problems that her co-workers don't know about because she keeps her shit together. It drives me insane. The over complimenting, like you have to over compliment all the time. Like, oh, you did a great job. You turned your thing in on time and it was prepared. Like there's not going to be a parade down the street for you. That's minimum requirement. I can't stand it. I can't stand it.

I can't stand it. I can't stand it when people say, oh, well, when you said this, you hurt somebody's feeling. Too fucking bad. Just too fucking bad. Like if I hurt your feelings, then you're a titty baby. You know what? That brings me to just the people that are constantly listing about their feelings being hurt. I think we talk too much about feelings. It's like a daily thing where they go out and how can I be a victim today? Yes. And with regards to, you know, people being titty babies at work,

and Kate here saying everybody has really dark days. It is so true. I remember days when my kids were super young and Josh was out using drugs, not practicing law anymore. I all of a sudden became the sole caretaker, the sole breadwinner. No one to help me. No one. I didn't go to mom and dad. I didn't go to anybody. I had to like dig to keep my house, to get my mortgage paid. And I did not, when I went to work, pout or like die about it because I, like work was the only thing that made me feel normal during that time. Like this is the only thing that I can do right now to not think about the shit show that has become my personal life and my kids at home crying because they miss their dad.

And it was real and it was brutal. But I had to go to work because I had to have some normalcy. Furthermore, I don't like people feeling sorry for me. I hate it. I don't like people pitying me. I don't like, oh, I'm so sorry you're going through stuff. I'm like, I don't want this. Like it's mine and I don't want you to be sorry about it,

because that doesn't help. It's like the thoughts and prayers. I don't like any of that. And I realize that you and I are probably cold-hearted bitches, that we don't like that. But I don't. And therefore, I find it demeaning when people are going through something really hard for me

to pile on and be like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I think it makes the when people are going through something really hard for me to pile on and be like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I think it makes it worse. I do too. There's just pussyism after pussyism after pussyism. Nobody wants to hear about your feelings at work. No one's to hear your sob story. Everybody's going through shit.

Shut the fuck up. Do your work. Move on. Yep. It's not that hard. It isn't. It's going to get worse. And I, the whole idea that like everybody has to go to work and unless like what Kate said, unless you're independently wealthy, everybody has to go to work.

So don't make the work about you. Go do your job, get it done and get how my goal is to get to this office, get everything I can get done so that then I can go live my life afterwards. Right, enjoy yourself in the evening. Exactly. Just knock it out during the day. Get up, get it done.

All right, Shelly says, I've had it with people in the South just assuming you're Christian, conservative, and or racist if you are a white passing preppy looking middle-class person. This week alone I've had an Uber driver try to tell me something about the blacks, and someone else talking to me about God as if I'm at church every Sunday talking about God's will and how good he is. I'm sorry ma'am, but I cohabitate with my boyfriend and in pro-choice.

I also have had it with the mixing of church and state. Did we learn nothing from the British? Wasn't the entire American revolution about separation of church and state? Did we learn nothing from the British? Wasn't the entire American Revolution about separation of church and state? Well, taxation without representation too. Shelley, this is something everybody talks about building wall. Build a wall between the church and the state. I agree. I have had it up to my eyeballs with these mega churches and mega church culture. It's disgusting. They lack empathy for other human beings and they think they are above any form of criticism.

And I've had it. I want to thank Shelley for bringing this to my attention because any chance I can get to browbeat it, I love to. I do think that you're 100 percent right on all of that. I also think that we kind of experience what Shelley has in kind of a large way in terms of being Southern, white, middle-aged, middle class. Everybody just was so upset that we weren't

right-winger Trumpers. It was just a heartbreak hotel. Right. So I mean it just happens. It's a stereotype that we have to live with and we have to break. All right, Jennifer Eisenman says, I've had it with people who don't have a clue about running errands. Waiting on some dumbass fumbling for their checkbook or coupon or asking the checkout girl if she's accepted Jesus into her life. Sir, this is Target. Shut it. Separate line for people who have their shit together. I agree. Our idea of TSA having a preferred line.

Yes. I think Target should as well. I don't see the coupon issue as much today as I did 10, 15 years ago, but I will never forget getting in line behind somebody with a coupon and they're just going through the coupons and going through the coupons. It's taking forever and my kids are screaming. I am just like, here's five bucks. Like I remember one time I sat there in line. We went through 47 coupons. We did this, we did that. We went back and forth.

This one's expired. Do you know how much money the person saved? Like $2.22. And I just thought to myself, I want to fucking strangle you. Like all the time that it's taken for you to dig out $2.22. I fucking had it. But I don't see that as much anymore, but I'm sure it's still there. Yeah, no, I cannot stand inefficiency. And these are the register congestors. These are people that

congest the register. They don't care that there's a line of people behind them. It's their moment there to lengthen this thing as long as possible have had it. OK. Ethan says, I've had it with people. Agree. I mean, mic drop right there. All right, our last one is from Addison. Addison says, I've had it with solicitors and forced

philanthropy outside of Target and other stores. No, I don't want to sign your petition. I'm not even sure why I wanted my birth certificate signed, but here we are. I normally will whip out my phone when entering and exiting and pretend to be talking to someone to avoid the interaction altogether, but sometimes if I don't have my phone, I make a sign to my ear and mouth to them as if I'm deaf. Yes, I know I'm already going to hell. The last time someone asked me to sign their petition, I asked if it was to

stop solicitations outside of Target. And he said no. So I said I wasn't interested and walked away. That's fantastic. You know the person with the petition did not get it. I agree with Addison so much on this. I have had it. I did not go to Target to be solicited. I specifically have probably gone to Target because they don't have customer service people saying, can I help you today? You're on your own. You go to Target, you go to Walmart, you go

to the grocery store, you get your cart, you have to go handle your own shit. The only person you're planning on talking to is the cashier, but you can avoid that and do self-checkout. So this is a complete violation. And I'll tell you who else does it, is the Salvation Army. During Christmas, the Santa's sitting there ringing that bell. And I didn't sign up for that. Can you help the kids?

They always throw in, can you help the dogs? Can you help the kids? They always throw in, can you help the dogs? Can you help the kids? But I have found that a lot of these charities are not legitimate. When you research them, a lot of the money either goes to some organization you don't approve of that has questionable moral practices, or 10% of it goes to the charity,

and 90% goes to some other entity. And the petition shit in the day of the internet, if you are really gung-ho about something like, we're die-hard pro-choice and women in our state have lost all access to abortion care due to evangelical Christians becoming in government in this state. And that's their big thing. And so women in this state are completely suffering from that. And I want to sign every petition I possibly can from that, but I know where to go to do that. I question the ability to read a petition and get completely involved outside of Target. I think this is petition theater.

On a student campus, I can see it more. 100%. But Target is not something that, you know. I just don't feel like Target's a lolly guy place. You're going for in and out, get your stuff, get know. I just don't feel like Target's a lolly guy place. You're going for in and out, get your stuff, get out. I agree. But here's the deal, I have to say,

I buy shit from the Girl Scouts always. First of all, I like the cookies. Second of all, it's pretty hard to sit out there and sell shit, like Girl Scout cookies. There's like a basketball team raising money or a cheer team raising money. I'm a sucker. Girl Scout cookies. There's like a basketball team raising money or a cheer team raising money. I'm a sucker. Girl Scout cookies are delicious.

They're great. They're great. I like the Girl Scouts, but I just tell you what, the Boy Scouts, you know, there's a big sex scandal there. Always. And all, guess who doesn't give a shit about it? All the pro-life Republican Christian people.

You hear nothing. Crickets, crickets on this. And as we head into the election year, I want everyone to know on our YouTube channel, we go pretty hard at this on Mondays and Fridays, it's called IHIP News. But this is a trigger warning for those of you that maybe don't want to hear the truths about the far right wing of this country,

that I think is ruining this country and edging towards Christian nationalism and fascism and hurting so many people and threatening civil rights of so many millions of Americans. Already, this group has taken away rights of many, many women. And we plan to keep talking about this with some seriousness and some humor. But we said a long time ago, if you're still here, I guess you're hate listening. You like to get your heart rate up. All right. So our Patreon after show will start right now. Pumps, tell them. We will see you next Tuesday or Thursday or both.

I'll tell you what I've had it with. Let's hear it. I've had it with that. Do you like drag? Do you like fragrance? Do you like frying the small fish? I'm Delta Work, a regionally celebrated drag queen and the host of Very Delta, a podcast for the woman whose social battery is on 10% but her phone battery is fully charged.

Each week I go off in my monologue about things that irk me before inviting my guests to chat on the couch with me. Past guests include Margaret Cho, Bob the Drag Queen, Orville Peck, Trixie Mattel, Katya, and more. You can listen to Very Delta wherever you get your podcasts and watch full video episodes every Monday on the Mom Podcast YouTube channel. you
