So are we supposed to start the podcast?
Ready.
One, two, three.
Patriots, Gay, Trots, they treatets, Black, Trots, Brown Triots.
We love you.
All the triple trumpers can do what, Pumps?
Fogall!
All right, Pumps, what have you had it with?
Okay, what I've had it with is a very disturbing trend that I've noticed on social media.
There'll be somebody that's lathering up their skin with this lotion and the person.
will say, I am a skin expert. And then you go along and you see another one. It's about toothpaste.
And this person says, I'm a smile expert. And I'm like, what the, what in the fuck?
Really? Because you have skin. You're a skin expert because you have a smile. You're a smile. And I'm just like, it's like the life
coaching of advertising, I feel like. I have skin. So I'm a skin expert. And I just thought, that is so
ridiculous. And this person's not a dermatologist. No, because then I start paying attention. Of course,
now I get that all the time because I go in deep. Like, tell me about the skin expert. No letters,
no doctor, nothing, just a skin expert. So it's life coach of advertising.
Gotcha. That's, you know, there's a lot, there's a creation of a lot of nothing experts that are
going on while the administration is dismantling expertise. Yeah.
You know, like the life coach thing, we've already called, you know, whistle blue on that.
And then, because everybody that I know that's a life coach is a train wreck.
I'm an absolute train wreck of any listeners.
If you're a life coach, we're excluding you, by the way.
But a smile expert, like, what do you?
And a skin expert?
I just, I don't understand.
I think it was like a teeth whitening toothpaste.
So there were.
Why not just have it?
Why not just?
Yeah, or a dermatologist.
Great question.
That's what I'm wondering.
Because I think all these products are bullshit and they're just saying this shit because
there's no such thing as truth in advertising anymore, I feel like.
Because every thing I click on on my social media is it can take your skin from crepey old
person's skin to 22-year-old tight as fuck skin like you have never seen.
and I'm just like, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
You know, pops.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
It just, it doesn't happen.
And if somebody had the fountain of youth to do that, we would all know.
That's what I always, we would all know.
Everybody would know.
Everybody would know.
Everybody would know.
If my husband would look like a 22-year-old, I would fucking buy it all day long and twice on Sunday.
The president would look a lot better.
Oh, God.
I know, but I'm just saying, like, it's,
such a thing doesn't exist. Okay. I've had it with fusion food. So I recently saw this
cute restaurant in New York. So I googled the restaurant and then I clicked the menu. And it was like
Italian, Japanese like sushi and fusion. Yeah. I've always wondered. Italian food and sushi
fused. And I'm just like you don't get to do that. Like we're talking about different
continents, different cultures, completely different vibes. Like the thought of when my brain is programmed
that I'm going to a sushi bar, it's wired a certain way. My palate is starting to respond in a
Pavlovian way in advance. The same goes for when I'm going to eat Italian food. It's a different
part of my brain that's wired for the different type of palate explosions that I'm going to go
through. I can't do both of those things at the same time. I need for sushi to be sushi. I need for
Italian food to be Italian. I oppose very fundamentally these things being fused. And then you might say,
well, Jennifer, just don't eat there. And I would say, it's a great point. I really just,
but I have to walk by this restaurant all the time. And I think about it. And I think, are they still
in business? Are people buying this shit? Are people into this? I think, well, maybe I need to try it.
But I just, I don't think I can.
I don't think I can eat sushi Italian food.
I'm the exact same way.
I have never understood the whole fusion concept, like, of the food thing.
I'm like, so if it's, is it like, caseo and sushi on the same table?
Like, I don't understand how that, but I just thought, well, I just have a dumb down palette.
But it's always stuff that I didn't even know would ever go together to begin with.
So I agree.
Let's just let certain things, we don't have to improve on.
everything all the time. Do we, you know, I would argue it's not even an improve upon. What it is,
it's a roundtable meeting. It's where people stop sending emails and start calling a lot of meetings.
And then everybody has ideas and everybody goes around and it's, well, what's your idea? Pumps?
Okay, great. Seth, what's your idea? And then Kylie's like, I've got it. Sushi Italian fusion.
And everybody's like, oh, great, I love it. Let's workshop that. Let's workshop it. Scramble the jets.
And then these ideas that should be shot down are in this culture where nobody can critique anybody's ideas. All ideas are good ideas.
And then these stupid things are born. And I don't know why I give a shit about it, but really bothers you. I bought it all the time. And I thought, I'm going to put that in my phone as a little grievance for the podcast.
Listeners comment. Send us a review. Does anybody like fusion food? I want to know from the listener. Do you like fusion food? And if so, what two?
regions fused. Like, I'm out. I'm completely out on this. Kylie, welcome. Hi. So I've had it
podcast, Kylie. Thank you. Welcome. What do you think about fusion food? I can't stand it. And it's rampant
in New York. Really? Yeah, we were like, oh, let's go to Korean barbecue. We love Korean
barbecue. We just Google one up on the map. We go and it's like, well, it's Korean, like
Puerto Rican fusion. I'm out. And it's not even close to the same food you were
looking for. Like Italian sushi is not sushi. Right. Nor Italian. Nor Italian. Yeah, I don't,
I don't support this at all. And it is. It's rampant. And I think it starts with,
these could have been emails. If somebody said, hey, boss, I have a great idea. Let's do
Italian sushi restaurant. And the boss is one, nah, nah, I think that's a bad idea. But instead,
it's like, oh, let's all, sometimes talking too much.
and throwing out too many ideas is counterproductive.
And I know I sound like a ball humbug with that, but I genuinely think that.
Well, and also, and we've talked about this a million times before, but no, but like in a
workplace, you can't say, that's a shitty fucking idea.
Like, I don't want to hear that idea.
You're wasting time.
Nobody talks like that anymore.
We do hear.
Huh?
We do hear it.
I've had it.
I tell Ryan and Kylie all the time.
No, it's a bad idea.
I don't want to run that story.
I did it with Ryan like three times today.
That is great.
They have to face it every single day.
Ryan will come.
He's put together great evidence.
I'm like, no, nobody wants to hear that for 15 minutes to another one.
But here's the thing.
It's not about Ryan.
It has nothing to do with Ryan.
It has to do with, but nobody here has thin skin.
It's also why our show is so good.
It's not fusion.
Also why we're like the top podcast in the globe.
It's good.
Top DEI podcast.
Yeah, for sure.
Where we fuse things, fusion of podcast.
positivity and cynicism.
Yeah.
Fused together in America's top DEI podcast.
All right, Kylie, reviews.
Okay.
Up first, five stars.
Tucker question mark.
Spork says, did Josh shaving his armpit hair turn Jen into Tucker Carlson?
What are we doing?
What's going on?
Okay.
I'm so glad that Spork 101 brought this up because the most recent trip that Josh came up here,
his chest was shaved.
And I just said to him, I go, here's the deal.
Like, I'm not into this. I want a man. I'm fine with your chest hair. I guess if I were a gay man,
I think they're called a bear. Is that right, Ryan? I want a man. I do not want to have sex with a hairless
man. That is not a turn on to me. I like men. And like, I was like, Josh, I just, you need to grow your
chest hair back. Like, I'm not into this. He doesn't have like too much. But if you did, I like the,
you know, I don't know. I just, I like that.
component of a man. It's a turn on to me. I don't like hairless men. Furthermore, it's this whole
RFK Jr. shit. They're all Joe Rogan, RFK Jr., all the creatine bros, all the broteen,
we're protein bros, all that shit. They're all shaving all the time. And I think it makes them
kind of look like pussies. I'm just going to say it. Now, there's a caveat to that. The gay men
were doing this, not the bears, but like the, like, I don't know, like the hip, stylish gay men
have been shaving their hair and stuff for a long time. And then in the categories of where they're
hooking up, they pre-establish, like, do you want fur, which is the bear or no fur or shaved?
You know, they establish all of this stuff because they're very sexually liberated. They did all
of this stuff before the protein guys started doing it. So when the, like, hair,
wireless gaze and then the maga broteens and then Josh. And I just, I mean, I put my foot down.
I think he, I told him about it in here last time because he brought it up to you, didn't he,
Kylie? Jennifer told me grow my hair back. Yeah, he said also she could have told me that before
she told hundreds of thousands of people. I would have just grown it back. Oh, yeah, that's true.
Our listeners hear everything first. Yeah. And here's the thing like, I run out of stuff to talk about.
Yeah. That's fair. I would argue. I'm so glad this came up about.
Josh, I have just been dying to know the update on the body fat. How's it going? Are you still
getting paid late text? How's that working? I haven't gotten any in about a week, but he screenshots
the body fat and it gives like an arrow like, you know, it's up. 0.01% or it's down. And I only get
them when it's going down and like the weight is down and he circles it and he puts like thumbs up
emojis with it.
That's what I would do.
And I think he like weighs with his body fat scale so frequently that he can't really,
I think it pretty much is stabilized, the body fat and the weight is stabilized.
So it's kind of, it's lulled out a little bit.
It's kind of flatline.
But last time I was in New York, he's like, do we have a scale in the apartment?
I was like, no.
And he was like, why?
And I was just like, because I know, I know my body.
I know I can tell when I've put on two pounds and then I, you know, have an early dinner for three nights.
And, you know, I just, I know how to manage my weight.
He's like, God, I mean, because he weighs like six times a day.
You know, he's just so compulsive.
It's just so compulsive.
So the gym, weighing at the gym, and it was just simply not enough one time a day, just not enough.
It's got to be more.
No, he has his own body fat scale that he ordered.
Oh, no, I know.
But I'm saying in New York, just doing it at the gym, it's not.
one time it's not an hour. Well, and here's the thing. It's kind of like this, you have to kind of like book it at the gym to have you the trainer take you down and do the thing. You can't just unauthorized go do the body fat machine. But of course, Josh is like, you know, he's just so manic and impulsive about she. He's like, let's go do it. Let's go do it. So Emily, our trainer will be like, okay. She's real. She's like, okay. And then we go down. And then he has come back at like three or four percent. I was like, this machine's broken. That's not real. Of course, he thinks it's real. Everybody knows all the story. But I don't know. I don't know.
why I was thinking about Josh's body fat the other day.
He would love that.
Okay, the next review, five stars.
Thank you.
And Kalia writes, just pre-ordered Jennifer's book, not today, fascist.
Jennifer, Angie Pumps, the people they work with and the guests they bring to the show are
not only very informative, but make the show truly one of my favorites, offering comic
relief, camaraderie, and sincere, thoughtful, and hopeful dialogue.
A great podcast that helps put things in a perspective and keep me up to date or even
laughing as an American. I love it. Thank you. That's so nice. Thank you. Thank you for ordering the book.
For those of you that haven't, not today, fascists. Order it. Links right below.
It's really good. You'll like it. I have to do, I have to read the audiobook soon.
I can't wait for you. I'm really excited about it. I believe in my heart of hearts this is going to be
transformative. I really do. That's sweet.
I don't think it's going to be transformative.
I think it'll be eye-opening for people that don't understand red state politics and the culture on the ground in the electorate from my observations growing up there as like a liberal, you know, in the sea of depravity.
But people that think that they're morally superior.
I mean, you know, it's just still when I think back, when I think back to peer, there's so many great people in Oklahoma City that are progressive that fight the good.
fight that are not anti-LGBQ plus that shun that, shame that. But then there are the people
who are all chips in on that. And those are the people, they literally think like, oh, we're
some morally superior. And I look back in them and I'm just like, flea bags. Flee bags. All right.
I have some news stories. There is a new airplane etiquette rule that just dropped. Pop this up.
plane passenger says seatmate claimed they quote ruin their flight because they ate their meal before everyone in row was served
it's just unbelievable and then a recent plane passenger said on Reddit that they were called quote rude and inconsiderate by their seatmate for eating their meal before the rest of the row the passenger received his special vegetarian meal first because he
ordered ahead of time. This is next level entitlement, right? The original poster asked.
And one user responded to the situation, pop this up. That's hilarious, wrote one reader.
Do they get upset in restaurants when other people are served first? Do they stand up in the middle
of the restaurant and announce, please, put your forks down until my food arrives?
This is so stunning. Like, I cannot believe the person that posted this is not embarrassed. This is not your
This is the total fucking stranger.
Why is everything always about you?
That's unbelievable to me that number one, the person was so offended that they went to the computer or their phone and wrote about it because they felt so wronged.
I mean, this is a person that it's going to be real, real, real hard for this person in life.
And I will just say this.
if we cannot agree as a society that you can't clip your nasty-ass toenails on a flight,
do they really think people are going to start?
It's just, it's so stupid, so stupid.
It's just that there's a lot of main character energy out there.
That's what it is.
Where everybody reacts to a person doing their own thing in their own lane.
And they react to the person doing that as something personal to them.
You know, it's, there's just so much.
much main character energy where people have to somehow relate what is going on, whether it be
this, the person eating their food, or some grave injustice. And then they tie that back to them,
to them personally. It's like, no, just be an ally and shut the fuck up about you or eat your food
and shut the fuck up about your seatmate. You know, there's all this main character energy
in the world right now. And I think that as we study like generationally, there,
There's a lot of really good things about each generation.
Like, I like that Gen Z is more sensitive and more open to talking about their feelings.
The same with millennials.
But I also think we lost some of the, like, boomer Gen X, like, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and have a little bit thicker skin.
I wish that they were all kind of merged because there's good things from each generation.
But the younger generation seems to have a lot of main character energy.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Okay, and the next story is a woman took to Reddit for advice after moving into a new apartment, pop this up.
Mom insists daughter move out of new apartment because her neighbor is, quote, too attractive.
In a Reddit thread, a 25-year-old woman describes how after her mom came over to her new apartment,
she became worried after seeing her neighbor Jake.
Pop this up.
Here's some reporting from the article.
She asked me, who's that?
I told her he was my neighbor and she immediately started grilling me. Do you like him? Are you dating him? Are you sleeping with him? The woman writes adding that she told her mom, no, he's just my neighbor and hope that would be the end of the conversation. It wasn't. This morning she called me at 7 a.m. and said she'd been thinking all night and decided I had to move. Why? Because Jake is too attractive and it's only a matter of time before he seduces you and ruins your life, she writes.
The woman's mom told her she needs to move out by next month and has since been repeatedly text messaging her things like, you're disrespecting me.
I'm only trying to protect you.
And you'll thank me one day.
One Reddit user responded to the thread.
I think she might be mistaking her life for a soap opera.
The writer said that she blocked her mom and went no contact after the situation.
I am so confused.
So she doesn't want her dog.
Is it, is it a religious thing?
I mean, why?
So she just thinks having sex with this guy because he's cute would ruin her life.
That sounds like the mom's a fucking netball.
There's some question.
I mean, there's, you can't even rationalize that.
I think just there's a lot of parents that see their adult children still as, as their property.
And a lot of people think these children are like theirs permanently instead of teaching autonomy.
And it's like they, they try to prevent.
in an act of some sort of toxic love, but they try to prevent all of these things where it's like,
here's the deal. The Reddit user, she might end up fucking Jake. And Jake might seduce her.
But there's a lesson in that. Like we all, we all get seduced. Sometimes we're the seducer.
We have heartbreaking breakups, one night stands, et cetera. And you have to let your kids just go out
and experience all of those things. And you can't interject. Interject. I think you're 100% right.
And I just, I can't help but think that this has probably been an ongoing pattern with this mother, that she has been guiding this child.
Because I've been the daughter of a mother like that.
So this was not just, this did just didn't come out of thin air.
I'm sure everything has been micromanaged for this girl her entire life.
Yeah, I'll never forget the first time I met your mother.
I'll never forget it.
I tell this story, but Pimes and I were in her backyard smoking cigarettes.
And I mean, we're like grown women married with children.
And her mom comes storming in, does not ring the doorbell, nothing, has a key, lets herself in, the deadbolt.
Comes in, Angie's like freaking out about to ball crying, like hiding cigarettes, like you have to leave, you have to leave.
And then for years, the lying that you had to do to your mother, you'd be at my house and she'd be like, where are you?
And you'd be like, oh, I'm at Kathy's.
I was like, why do you have to lie to your mom that you're at my house?
That's fucking weird.
You're 40.
And you were like...
I probably blame the smoking on you.
No, you said because I wasn't a Christian.
I asked you, like, she doesn't like you because you're not a Christian.
I was like, well, that's really Christian ever.
I tend to all...
Whenever I got busted smoking, it was always whoever I was with.
It wasn't mine.
I mean, I threw whoever I was with straight under the best.
But then she ended up finding out that I had quit.
And your biggest staunch Christian...
friend was then the smoker.
Smoking it up.
How did I smoke after you?
Four or five?
A long time.
A long time.
Yeah. I mean, it was a long time.
Yeah.
Because I remember at one point I kind of, I saw your mother.
I was like, I can't remember.
It's like maybe your son's graduation or something and your real religious friend was
outside smoking.
And she was worried about your mom seeing it.
And I'm just thinking, why does this woman get to control these grown ass
women all the time like this. And your mom said to me, I understand you stopped smoking. I was like,
oh my God, years ago. And she was like, well, I'm very proud of you. And I was like, well, oh my God,
well, thank you. Then you couldn't blame it on me anymore. It was all the, it was all from within
the Christian community. Yeah. Okay. Next story, pop this up. The pissed off spouses who try to
intervene in their partner's jobs. Don't let your husband, wife, or parents get involved in your
workplace drama. Spouse number one, this person wanted to ask his wife's boss to give her work
that would make her happier. My wife has been working at her current position for over five years in
HR. However, she isn't trained in this, and she has a master's degree in an unrelated field that is
actually the primary focus of the company. Because she is hardworking and competent, her boss
refuses to see her as fit for positions within the company that she is actually trained in.
She has stated her desire to move into this other area, but so far it has been ignored.
As her husband, I want to see her happy, and she is not.
She is incredibly intelligent and very gifted, and it bothers me greatly that she isn't working
in the arena that she is trained for. I would like to write a letter to her boss on her behalf,
But I don't want to jeopardize, jeopardize her job.
Is this a bad idea?
Yes, it's a fucking terrible idea.
This whole thing, people intervening, can you imagine?
Just imagine for a second that I was in a courtroom and I got my ass chewed,
just up and down, sucked something up, the whole thing.
and the next day, the judge got a letter from my mother or my husband or you as my friend.
That makes you look so fucking bad.
It's unbelievable to me that it made it to the page.
Here's the thing.
If you're writing, this is two paragraphs here.
If you're writing out two paragraphs in the last sentence in the paragraph as a question, is this a bad idea.
That's where you just go hit the back and you just delete the whole thing.
That's just as a rule of thumb.
If you've gone that far, you're trying to convince yourself and you already know the answer.
You don't hit publish or enter or post that because then you've gone from everybody has fucking crazy ideas.
Like, God, I wish I could write that boss a letter.
He's such a dick.
Bob up for my husband and my husband won't stand up for myself and my wife.
That's normal.
That's human.
even going, I'm going to write an imaginary letter and you type it out, I even give you that.
I agree.
Hitting send is where you go to Kuku for Cocoa Puffland.
That's where it becomes this person is a netball right then and there.
Because the actual wanting to chew out somebody who you think is doing your partner dirty,
that's, I get that.
Sure.
I felt that before.
I mean, I remember I wanted to physically beat up your husband at a basketball game.
We read imaginary letters all the time.
I get the whole.
We never publish them.
You do not publish them.
You do not publish it.
And just think how embarrassed his wife would be.
I mean, she would be very.
Would she be though?
Do you think she would be?
Or do you think she'd be like, my man took up for me?
Do you know what I mean?
No, yes, I do.
Sadly, I guess it's a close call.
Not for me.
It's not a close call for me.
Okay.
I do remember one time.
I wrote the, I was so mad at one of my friends's husband or ex-husband.
I can't remember where they were in the marital status.
They're divorced now.
And I sat down and I texted, I mean, in my phone, motherfucker, I grammar checked it.
I, you know, punctuation was perfect.
And I read it like three times.
And I mean, I had like worked a long time telling him just what a big,
fat piece of shit he was. And then I just thought, you look like the crazy one here. Like,
if you, if you hit send on this, by perfect grammar and punctuation, you immediately put yourself
in the nutball category. So what did I do? I just erased it. But it made me feel better. But I
kind of ride with that, though. Like, to me, your girlfriend, I assume that the husband fucked around
and she found out.
Fucked around.
Fucked around with money.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I kind of ride with that.
I kind of ride with you hit and send on that.
I kind of,
because you were probably brotherly, sisterly friendly with this.
Right.
Correct?
Yeah.
So the betrayal went deeper than just watching your friend hurt.
You felt like he was a fraud.
Yeah.
Well, this is like I had already motherfucked him on Christmas Day over text.
Okay.
Now the plot's thickening.
Wait.
Right.
I mean.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Hold up.
So you did.
did send one that you published and you cherry-picked.
Two totally separate.
Okay, here's exactly what happened.
I'll go through the whole thing.
Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, all right.
Okay, so my friend, she knows her husband's cheating.
She has a private eye and she knows he's cheating.
And a, this was before the phone was location and a like a tracker on his.
GPS.
Love it.
So she calls me, it's like Christmas Eve.
And she's like, I know where he is.
I know who he's with.
I need you to go bust him because she didn't want him to know that she had a P.I.
And the tracker.
So she's like,
so you need to go in and you need to do that.
Of course,
I mean,
it's Christmas Eve.
I have no makeup on,
no bra.
I'm your girl.
So I go driving out to the restaurant.
I go in.
I do the whole bust.
And then...
I remember this.
Wait.
Okay.
You go up to the table.
Yeah.
I acted like I was buying a gift card at the restaurant.
And I did.
I bought a $15 gift card.
because I was trying to, you know, scan where they were.
Of course, they were going to knock off in a corner.
Did you approach the table?
I fucked. Yeah, I did.
Okay. And?
And he introduced her somebody else.
And I was like, no, no.
So then we get, I was very, I was just like, so you're here with her.
And he's like, well, it's not who you think it is.
I'm like, it doesn't fucking matter.
It's Christmas Eve.
And you're, you know, two cities away with this woman.
Okay.
So I get in the car.
He immediately starts calling me.
Don't tell.
Don't tell.
I'm like, I am not going to tell.
Like, you're in fucking public.
No.
Then the next day, of course, because my friend handled it very poorly, she immediately told her very.
Because you did a bang up job.
Yeah.
Youngish child about this.
So then he's, in the next day's Christmas, and his kids refused to go with them for Christmas.
So he's texting me saying it's my fault.
And I'm like, I'm not.
the one fucking around on your wife.
I'm the one that made these choices.
So finally I was like, look, you fucking motherfucker.
Don't fucking, I mean, I was just mad.
This is after five or six back.
Was that in person or via text?
This is via text.
And you're saying, look here, you motherfucker.
Yeah.
You're saying, okay, okay.
I was like, you're the fucker that's fucking around on your wife on Christmas Eve.
And you're mad at me.
He's like, you ruined my children's Christmas.
I like, are you fucking kidding me?
I ruined your children's Christmas?
How did I ruin that?
You're the one fucking Iran.
It just,
it went back and forth like that until I just exploded and done it to that.
It was funny because I didn't see him for like a year.
And then like when I ran into him,
he gave me a big hag and it was nice.
So I guess I was forgiven.
I don't know.
But he was the same one.
So this happened like in 2015.
So fast forward to like 2021 is when I wanted to motherfuck him on a text, but I didn't.
So growth.
Growth.
Okay. So my favorite part about this story is number one that you're so loyal to your friend. And I remember this story. I remember you telling me in real time. And number one, I kind of ride for that. Like, I kind of ride for that. Women, that's really like women supporting women. You knew this guy. You were probably there when she had her kids in the hospital. He was yours. You share these life experiences. And he's fucking around. She found out. She's crying. She's upset. And you're there for your girlfriend. I support it. My favorite part about the story, though, is that you just jumped to the healthy.
version of pumps that wrote out this email and thought, no, I'm on the high road. I'm going to delete
this up. I'm going to clean this up because I'm a sane person. Meanwhile, you were gatekeeping the
juiciest tidbits for me and the listener was that you went up in your PJs on a Christmas Eve bender
motherfucking this guy. And then they continued via text for a couple of days. On Christmas. Love that.
I love all of that. So much more than they were restrained.
You know, pops that thought, you know what, I typed it out, I grammar checked it.
And then you deleted it.
I don't like that girl as much as I do.
The girl that went in there said, you want me to go up there?
I got you, sis.
I love that.
Fucking go.
Let's fucking go.
Yeah.
Okay.
Spouse number two.
Spousal interference can get in the way of a partner being hired for a job.
I have a candidate in our hiring process, Bob.
He seems to be a good fit for the position, but I'm having difficulties communicating with
him because his wife, Sue, is very involved.
evolved to the point of interfering.
If I leave a voicemail for Bob, Sue will call me without Bob being present.
If I am able to get Bob on the line and he is with Sue, he will put the call on speaker.
Sue is also the one reporting to the emails.
Oh, wait, Sue is also the one responding to the emails.
I have sent requesting training certificates and confirming booking times.
she asks all the typical
she asks all the typical questions
candidates themselves would ask
travel accommodations, process specifics
deadlines for the documents I need
where and when the supplemental training
will happen. Bob said
she likes to quote be involved.
I told him that while I appreciate that
it makes it difficult to complete
the onboarding process
when she is as involved as she is
and I need to have confidence
that he could perform
independently.
He cannot.
That is obvious.
He cannot perform
independently.
Like we don't even
need to have the onboarding.
My question is,
was she like
emailing from his email?
Or is it like,
oh, well, Bob wants to tell you,
Bob,
you know what it is.
You know what it is.
You know what it is.
And we've never even talked
about this.
Ooh, juicy.
Family email addresses.
or couples email addresses?
The worst.
Somebody's fucking around.
Somebody got caught.
I just,
I believe that.
How many times in raising our kids and you have,
you're on these stupid,
circle,
jerk email things where all the parents are helicoptering,
being nuts.
And it's like Smithfam for fun at Google
or at gmail.com.
How many did you see?
Family emails?
A ton.
I would say in a group text of,
you know,
like 40 parents.
at least a half dozen, between half dozen and it doesn't.
And that's too many.
That's too many.
It's control.
If you're not fucking around, it's control Alpacazoo.
That screams to me, this is not a safe marriage.
This is divorce court city.
I think Bob and Sue have a joint email address.
Yeah.
A lot of clients, after they fuck around, they decide they're going to monitor each other's.
And so that happens a lot that they go to the group email.
Well, bitch, he's got another email account.
Honey, she's got another email account.
Like this stuff, it's not that hard to figure out if you're dying to do it.
Yeah.
I just think that you obviously, this Bob and Sue is not that surprising to you as a recovering divorce lawyer because it tell us the stories that you would have where it's like the new mistress is, you know, he's left the wife and they sit and monitor each other's calls.
Didn't you have like mistresses calling you during divorces?
Oh, sure.
Like, yeah.
Absolutely.
And I always do this is going to be a disaster.
I mean,
because the worst thing that happens during the divorce is when the pair of more comes in and starts making the rules,
especially with kids.
But it's just like I found out she was cheating from a guy at work with a guy at work.
So we decided that I would be on all her social media.
I'd have all her passwords.
We would have a joint email.
Nothing.
You know, it was completely transparent.
And then it was just like, it's not that hard to figure out.
She went and got another email account you don't know about that she put on her phone under, you know, family calendar.
And it's really hot Bubba loves dick.
You know, I mean, it's just like, it's like if I wanted to be super sneaky despite the fact that I am terribly clumsy about everything, I know all the tricks.
You know, you put the person in.
I'd put under Jennifer Welch's, you know, work phone.
And it'd really be, baby, I love you.
You know what I mean?
These are real easy problems to solve.
And then the same thing with the, and we did this back when it was hard.
We broke into AT&T accounts that were hard to break into.
They were not online.
You had to fucking get them.
But now it's just so easy to track people's phone calls and stuff, and yet they don't do it.
It's like, well, obviously, no, you know what the new thing is, WhatsApp.
You can't trace WhatsApp, text and stuff.
So that was the next iteration right when I was done is we were going to be super transparent
with all our computers and phones and emails, but we were going to get on WhatsApp and have
sexting marathons.
My favorite story from all of the divorce work you did.
And if we can't say this, then Kylie, you can cut it out after.
But listener, I'm sure you hope you get to leave it.
So there's some, it's a divorce or breakup or custody or something.
And you're representing gal and the guy's like blocked her from Instagram.
He's blocked your client from Facebook.
He's blocked the cell phone number.
He's blocked emails.
He's blocked incoming calls.
Every single thing that could be blocked was blocked so that she couldn't contact him.
And the last, the last line of contact was Venmo.
So she would send $1 with the message.
fuck you.
Fuck you.
Or like it was public and it would be like,
he fucks around.
He's a liar.
And it's like,
it's just like,
so she,
I got a call from the other lawyer.
Uh-huh.
And I'm like,
you've got to quit doing this.
And I will never forget this conversation.
I said,
it is going to be impossible for me
to stand in front of a judge
and defend this conduct
as not malicious
when it is this blatant she gives, well, it is malicious.
And I was like, well, no shit, but you have to stop.
And so that was a fun hearing.
I didn't even defend it that it wasn't malicious.
I was just like, you know, here's what I, here's the thing.
Like, that is like, there's passion in that, you know.
It makes you feel something.
Like, I fucking hate this motherfucker.
I'm going to spend money on Vimmo to tell him how much I hate him.
Was he able to block her from Venmo?
I think she got a specific court order that they were going to enter a temporary restraining order, which has criminal ramifications if you violate it.
And it was like one more Venmo.
The judge said, then I'm an inherent restraining order.
And so she quit.
But, yeah, I was just like, because at that time, I didn't have Venmo.
I didn't even know.
I mean, I kind of knew what Venmo was, but I was like, oh, my God, you're saying all this shit on Venmo on purpose.
Oh, it was so funny. So many funny people out there. No, I mean, but that's the thing about love.
You know, it feels so good. And it feels so great in your, it's high time, it's slap and tickle city.
And then it can just go a wayward way. And then it turns into, you know, he's fucking around.
Fuck you on Venmo. He's sending more money. It's just, it's really quite a sight to behold.
