and likes to be petty, this is the place for you. Pumps, what have you had it with? Okay, what I've had it with, and I know we've talked about it before, but I'm really fired up about it right now. What I've had it with is you pay for streaming services. So you're paying for it. They're not putting ads in it. And they don't release all the shows at once.

And they slow drip the episodes one week at a time. So everybody right now is talking about the White Lotus. I'm not talking about it because I haven't seen it because I have to wait until I can binge watch it. And I feel like Netflix spoiled us and then we're paying for these services. We should get all the shows at once. I binge watch it. And I feel like Netflix spoiled us. And then we're paying for these services. We should get all the shows at once. I've had it. I agree. I mean, like we're way past being patient. And the slow drip approach is so

1980s. Yeah. Like, I mean, it's like, did we get our VCR out and record it. I mean, come on. This is Trump's America. And we desperately need an entire episode because we need a respite from all of the fuckery that comes with living in a country with that man being elected. And we need to be able to just turn our phones off and binge watch a show for eight or nine hours straight. Yes. As therapy. And the streaming services are denying us of doing that. Yeah, I blame it on Trump, of course.

But here's the thing. I don't understand. Explain it to me why if I'm paying for the show and I'm sorry, if I'm paying for the streaming service, why they just can't give me all the shows at once? Why do they have to do it like network television TV, which is sponsored by ads? Seems like a double dip to me. Well, I think the purpose of it is,

I mean, it's obviously like it builds probably more viewership because people talk about it. Oh, did you see what happened? Oh, you can catch up. From a marketing standpoint, I get it. Oh, did you see what happened? Oh, you can catch up from a marketing standpoint. I get it Oh, okay from myself from a selfish standpoint. I don't like it But and I will say this I do think it's probably better for us as a species To have them slow drip because we're not meant to sit and stare at a screen for eight or nine hours

It's really a part of the genesis of this entire problem that led us to this very moment. But the selfish person in me that wants a respite from all of this insanity that is MAGA, I want to be able to binge watch. But I get it. I get why there is a civilized approach to not binging on something, to moderate our consumption of something, to build hype around something. Like I'm watching Severance, and my son and I watch one episode at a time, and then we get on TikTok together

and we go see how everybody's analyzed it. And we look forward to doing this once a week together, and I really enjoy that time with him. So I get both sides. Yeah, it makes sense what you're saying about creating hype. But my thing is I'm impatient and I need a release and I can't think past myself. Right. All right. I'll tell you what I've had it with. I've had it with the normalization it with the normalization of Nazism in the United States of America. We have in our country a man who clearly owns Donald Trump and his name is Elon Musk and

he was born in South Africa and he comes over here and he gets a bunch of taxpayer funded subsidies that in essence helps him become allegedly one of the richest men in the world. He starts doing a bunch of drugs, trips out, he's under all sorts of investigation. The only way he can get out of these investigations is to be transactional with the most transactional, morally bankrupt, diabolical dipshit on the planet named Donald Trump. So all of that works out in his favor, and they both avoid investigations, jail time, et cetera, primarily because they're white and rich.

But then he starts doing Nazi salutes, and then Steve Bannon does Nazi salutes. And then if you go over to Trump's true social, they have, they're promoting the pink triangle, which is what Hitler put on gay men that they then sent to the concentration camps. And we're all acting like it's normal talking about the budget for Congress.

Right? And I'm like, they're fucking Nazis. And I just, I've had it with this paralysis that seems to have hit the United States. And if you get online and you see Europe, they're like, America, why are you guys not in the streets? And recently they had a French election, I mean, in the last few months. And the people in the French parliament refused to shake hands with the fascist. They refused. And over here on our side, you hear politicians say, oh, we're going to meet with them where we can. You

got Governor Gavin Newsom, who I used to adore and really thought he could be president one day, sitting down with Steve Bannon, who does Nazi salutes. And everybody's doing this with impunity. And it's just, I have had it. It's difficult for me at this current time in my life to lean into petty sometimes, because the overwhelming nature of the capture of American democracy in real time and sitting here watching it and reporting on it is so devastating.

And I know that so many people are sleepless and feel the same angst. And then you see them kissing Vladimir Putin's ass like Russia is in a huge recession, massive inflation, military is depleted and we act like they have leverage over the United States of America and NATO. And then everybody sits and tries to argue these stupid points to stupid dipshit triple Trump or MAGA people. And I've just fucking had it. I've had it with the normalization of fascism, the normalization of Nazism in any other country on the planet. Democracy. If you had a man and let, I want you to know, you guys need to know this. Musk lives with Trump, right?

He lives at the White House. They are buck mates. They go everywhere together and this guy is a Nazi. And if you drive a Tesla, it's a Nazi mobile. It amazes me how many people are just nonchalant about what's going on in the United States today. It amazes me that all these national security Republicans are pro-Putin now. It amazes me that there are not more alarm bells sounding that an unelected bureaucrat from South Africa is slashing the federal government. I don't think there's any question that Elon Musk is running the country full stop. I think it's Vladimir Putin personally. Well, absolutely. They are in a

who can be world domination tour to, you know, I don't know what they're doing, but they're linked. They're absolutely linked. Donald Trump is the biggest idiot I've ever seen. At this point, I think crashing the economy and tariffs, no tariffs, tariffs, no tariffs, the economy crashing, recession coming, I think that's what he wants. I think that's what Russia wants. Donald Trump is a white trash con man who has an online flea market full of riffraffs and knickknacks. As we say in the South, he doesn't know come here from sickom and you have all of these triple trumpers. And the only politician I've seen consistently

fight for the working class is the one person they think is a radical and that is Bernie Sanders. And he has always stayed on, and he has always spoken out against economic inequality. You have a situation in this country where the middle class is dissipating, and they're going to the billionaires who want to suck off of their benefits that they've earned to enrich themselves, and they vote against their self-interest. I do not know how you teach stupid people facts. I don't know how to do that and I hope the Democrats start to figure it out because we are in the houses on fire, 911 alarm bell.

I've had it with triple Trumpers. I fucking had it with the normalization of Nazis. I've had it with everybody Trumpers. I've fucking had it with the normalization of Nazis. I've had it with everybody acting like Trump is so masculine. I can't even take it anymore. I mean, he is such a titty baby, pussy, extraordinaire. And it is gross. I've had it with triple Trumpers. I don't want to be around him.

When I go places, I look around and I'm like, are they a Trumper? Are they a Trumper? And I don't like feeling this way. It's so disgusting that it's not just like somebody's conservative, but they still believe in democracy. We're way past that.

They're fucking Nazis. And everybody's like, sitting down doing podcasts with them. And it's just like, this is fucking bananas. I've had it. Welcome to I've Had It. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie. She is Angela Don Be It. I'm Jennifer. I'm Angie.

She is Angela Don Beaver. She's a beaver for democracy. All right, I had to get that off my chest so that I could tackle some petty things. Fuck. The beavers for democracy, you know what? Maybe Asshole Island should be beavers for democracy island.

Beavers for democracy could be the next Women's March. Oh my gosh. Great minds think alike, because I was thinking, we could have a Beavers for Democracy March. We could. We could make t-shirts. We could wear beaver hats. We could wear beaver hats.

We could just do it all up. I'll tell you what. I see women and Bernie Sanders standing up to this more than I see anybody else and Senator Chris Murphy and some of our congressmen that we've had on, Garcia and others. Anyway, I hear some stories. I thought Pumps would get a big kick out of this one. Wife killer Scott Peterson assaulted in prison over pickleball.

Scott Peterson convicted for the 2002 murder of his pregnant wife, was involved in a prison brawl over a pickleball match at Mule Creek State Prison in Northern California. The altercation occurred after Peterson allegedly hit the ball at another inmate, leading to a physical confrontation. Despite the incident, his injuries were not serious enough to land him in the hospital. I've been in similar situations as Scott Peterson. I've been exactly where he's been. Just not in the prison yard.

I found myself in similar situations, because I play with some of these lesbians who are, I'm just going to say it for the permanent record, lesbians I think are better athletes than straight women. Yeah, I mean, I think that's pretty well documented. At least in my anecdotal tennis slash pickleball world. And anyway, there's this one really good friend of mine named Linda, you know, little Linda. Little Linda.

She is a fucking amazing athlete. She's probably five foot one. And she is so good at pickleball. And I get so fucking mad at her because she'll hit like a clean winner by me. And when I pick up the ball to hit it back to her so she can serve again, I intentionally take the ball and just target it right at her to hit her with the ball. So I can relate here with a murderer. Pickleball makes people fucking crazy. So you have been Scott Peterson, we can say. That's terrifying. But in Trump's America, I guess that's just where we all are. Okay, here's another story.

For 200,000, a German startup will freeze your body and attempt to revive you in the future. Over 650 people have already signed up. A German startup, TomorrowBio, offers cryonic preservation services for freezing bodies post-mortem in the hopes of a future revival. It cost 200,000 euros to date. They've sold this to six individuals and five pets and over 650 clients enrolled in paid membership plans. Upon a client's death, specialized teams initiate the cryopreservation process promptly to

prevent cellular decomposition. The body is cooled and transported to a storage facility in Switzerland where it is maintained in liquid nitrogen- field steel containers. This approach aims to halt biological processes indefinitely awaiting future technologies capable of reanimation and healing. Okay, so my question to you is, would you do that? Not unless I could get somebody else's body. Like, could I get like a hot body? Like, okay, we're going to designate this, you know, like Giselle's body for me. Designate that. But otherwise, I think it's just a grift.

I think it's like selling plots in heaven kind of thing with the evangelicals. I mean, I just think it's all a grift. But I would reconsider if I thought I could have a really good body when I came back. I thought about this. I just want mine. And at first I thought, I don't know if I would want to do this, but in connecting this to my original grievance, I would want to do it because I want to come back and watch how much history eviscerates Elon Musk, Donald Trump, triple Trumpers. And you know, there was a

journalist that went to Nazi Germany in the 80s, and maybe it was even the 70s, and went around asking the older generation, did you vote for Hitler? Did you vote for Hitler? Did you vote for Hitler? They all said no. He couldn't find anybody who supported Hitler. Well, of course, millions of them did vote for Hitler. And I think that that is what is going to happen with this entire thing. And if it doesn't happen in my lifetime, which I think it will because these people are breathtakingly incompetent and I do believe that the resistance and the rebellion is forming. And I think it's going to be really

difficult for Americans, 340 million Americans, to give up democracy to a man that wears a full face of makeup and who is owned by an untreated drug addict, Elon Musk, who wants to kiss Russia's ass. At the end of the day, I think we're going to find some grit. But if it doesn't happen in my lifetime, I would like to come back and I wouldn't care what my body looked like. I wouldn't care if I was old or any of the stuff. And I would want to be able to binge watch nonstop historical documentaries of, I mean, I would want to just inject that into my veins because history is never kind to fascists. History is never kind to autocrats

and authoritarians. You fucking triple-trumper, greedy dipshits. You know, I've had that conversation with my kids. Like, I would love to be learning history a hundred years from now. Like like what my great, great descendants, great, great grand descendants or whatever it is, I would love to know what they're gonna learn about this administration and the state of the country. And I'm like you, like I want the autopsy on the triple Trumpers. Do they say, I mean, do they definitively find that it's a cult and that's what they put in history books? I mean, that's my expectation. But I mean, what history is going to say about these people and this administration,

I too would want that injected into my veins. Like the documentaries, I want to read the textbooks, I want to read the treaties, I want to read all of it. Because it will be fascinating. I don't know that we'll be alive long enough to see. Spoiler alert, you can also read about World War II and it will have a very similar reporting. And you can read about any takedown of any autocrat or any fascist government. It never ends well. History is never kind to greedy autocrats that are corrupt and don't believe in transparency. And sadly, people don't realize that history in our species actually does repeat itself. And a lot of people are reporting on the cult-like nature of MAGA and have been since 2017. And when

you've, there's a, my mother's a big voracious reader in all of this. And there's a lot of psychiatrists and psychologists who have put out tons and tons and tons of reporting on not only Trump's malignant narcissism, but also his followers and how easily manipulated they are and how much they fall for superficial flattery and how easy it is for them to deny facts. And there's already so much reporting on it. What's left to be revealed is just the nail in the coffin of just what an abject failure this entire Trumpism has been. Well, it's interesting. Why do they want to shut down the Department of Education? Why

do they want to whitewash history for these exact reasons? This episode of I've Had It is sponsored by BetterHelp. Pumps, let's talk numbers. Traditional exact reasons. to 50% per session.

Okay, Kylie, Katherine.

Hello. Are you on? I am on. Are you on today? I did it out of order again. That's okay. Dementia. Yeah, America's top dementia podcast.

Okay, can you, what's going on on the internet regarding the podcast? We'll start with this five-star review titled Your New Best Friend from Maddie. She says, to my favorite liberal mamas, as a fellow gay, I must say how much I love and appreciate our- Wait, hold up. As a fellow gay, is he calling, he or she calling us gay? I think so. Is it she, Maddie?

She. As a fellow gay. Okay, go on. I'll take it calling us gay? I think so. Is it she? Maddie? She. Okay, go on. I'll take it as a compliment. I will too, because I think it would make me better at pickleball in tennis. I think it would mean I could get laid. She says, you can't hear my jokes or cackling, but I'll forever enjoy hearing yours. Thank you for your unwavering support.

I have a petty grievance for you. I am so bewildered by people having an extremely dogmatic political opinion and the only research they've accomplished is Googling our Lord and Savior Trump bumper stickers. I've had it. We can have a discussion, but educate yourself before attacking me, Rachel. So true. It's so true. It's so true. And what's so wild about it is there are just like two parallel universes going on. Those of us that live in the real world that follow facts and science and don't cherry

pick when we want to access scientific research, peer-reviewed data that then has been tested and retested to make sure that if you have X illness, you can get Y medication to treat it. They want to cherry pick when they do that. And then you have these dipshits that think they're smarter than doctors and economists and all this shit. And I mean, I'm just telling you, I have fucking had it. This is like, I see these triple Trumpers knowing that they have seen the Nazi stuff, that they've seen what Trump reposts, the anti-gay Hitler Nazi, anti-gay LGBTQ stuff that he reposts

on his true social. And they know that he posts that shit and that they're okay with it. I have a real fucking problem being around people like that. I mean, it is a total seal off for me. I do not want to be around racists. I do not want to be around homophobes. I do not want to be around triple Trumpers. It fucks with my serenity too much. Yeah, it fucks with my serenity. Like I'm even to a place now where I go to a business and they have an American flag flying. And I immediately am triggered. I'm like, I don't want to shop here. You know, I mean, I'm just always looking for the MAGA element and everything. And it's like, maybe they just want a flag.

Yeah. I mean, the American flag thing doesn't bother me at all for me. But the it's the outright Nazi stuff, because I mean, we call our listeners patriots because you can be patriotic about the idea of America. And just because he's president does not take away the fact that we are Americans and can try to cling on to the First Amendment and cling on to a better place for us to live. Look at all of the arts, the sports, the music, the movie, the cinema, all of that shit that we've produced is incredible. It's amazing. All of the, when you think about, when you attach your memories as an American to the

music, the film, the television, the writing, it's incredible. And then you have dipshit Trump with the Kennedy Center, fires anybody who's even remotely creative and appoints Fox News racists and Nazis to be on the board there. The arts that came out of Nazi Germany are not good. Creativity and so here's something else I've had it with. I fucking had it with triple Trumpers enjoying sports that are dominated by African Americans. That's a great one. Fuck you.

I think that is just, you know, we go to these Oklahoma City Thunder Games, which is great. Our team is amazing. NBA basketball is dominated by African Americans. And I know I see all these triple Trumpers in there. And I just think, you know what, if you're going to be a racist and you're going to vote for racists, you're going to be okay with what, if you're gonna be a racist and you're gonna vote for racists and you're gonna be okay with Nazis, maybe you should not watch basketball or football anymore.

You shouldn't be allowed to support black athletes. If you're going to vote against them, fuck you. Yeah, I just, I think it's gross. And the way they treated Colin Kaepernick in the NFL, all of that, I think it's gross. And I just, I think as white people, we need to stand up for the black and brown community and for the gay community and all marginalized communities.

We have to stand with them. We have to fight with them because it's disgusting the exploitation, particularly in sports that are dominated by African Americans, how they think you just entertain me, but then you can't have an opinion beyond that, it grosses me out. Okay, some asshole gaitriot that is a fan of the show, signed Pumps and I up for the AARP. Yeah.

And we get these, we get mail all the time and we get the AARP bulletin. I'm gonna put this up here. And it's addressed to one Angela Don Beaver. It doesn't really say Beaver does it? It says Angela Don Beaver. You're so gullible. I am so gullible.

Of course it doesn't say Angela Don Beaver. Okay, because I was thinking somebody could have signed me up under Angela Don Beaver, but that would have been quick work. Okay, so this, normally I just throw these. Naturally, I threw mine away because I technically don't qualify for this. Yes, you do at 50. Obviously, Pumps does because she's significantly older than me, as everybody knows. But I don't want to be ageist. Oh, yeah, I know that's really hard on you asshole. But the whole thing, I started looking through this and it's so, this is really great content

for you. The entire catalog is about fraud, how crooks are using AI, protect your money, phone, email, text, avoid new scams, outsmart the bad guys. Who is targeting you now? And I thought, oh my God, if somebody falls prey to scams, it is Angela Dawn Beaver. Yeah, I do. I really do. Although Kylie has helped me greatly in that area.

Some people don't need a fraud prevention accountability buddy. No, I realize this is a personal problem. Okay, so here's an article I thought that would be helpful for all of us to read to Angela Don Beaver. Fraud 2025, stay safe and fight back against the latest scams. How they try to trick you now.

Artificial intelligence has supercharged classic icons. And really, you know, honestly, I know we have on YouTube, particularly, we have a lot of boomers. And you guys are, I mean, you guys fought the fight in the sixties and are great listeners on our, on our YouTube channel. But Pumps does fall prey to this. I do. And I just think the AARP could do, y'all let me know what you think of this. I think an Angela Dawn Beaver on the cover of the AARP said, tips from Angela Dawn Beaver on how to spot a scam. I think it could be a whole series. I think you could

be the AARP cover girl. How about how not to spot a scam? As we know, I fall prey. I, uh, but see that's, I think it could be some role playing. Like we could film it and they could put something in front of you. And if you fall for the scam, then somebody could break it down and it could be a real learning. And I just think it would be fun if some Gaytriot asshole, which is a really good troll to sign us up for the AARP. That was smart. Because they mellow shit all the time. And every time just like that fucking Gaytriot.

Because it's a really good troll. And I respect the hell out of a really good troll. Oh no, it's props for sure. But it would make me much happier if the AARP featured you on the cover. If I was the cover girl? Yeah, what about AARP? The donning of a beaver.

Oh my God, and you could have a superhero outfit with a big B on it and like maybe a cape and like a beaver little hat. I'd rather have a tiara if I'm going to be the cover girl. I agree. Or some kind of cute hat, not like a beaver. Okay. All right, Kylie, what do we have in store? Do we have voice memos from our listeners? We do. We have voice memos today and we're going to kick it off. I just want to say I love this kid. His name

is Steven. Hey, mamas. Steven, an 18 year old gaiter here to give you my perspective of the world because you're both ancient and don't know what it's like to be a teenager. So I have three groupings and I'm gonna go through them really fast. And the first one I'm going to start off with a bang and that's evangelical church cult. Okay. Jennifer, I know you're nodding along like some white woman at a more long concert right now, but evangelical church cult. I saw one advertised on an 18 wheeler trailer in the middle of butt fuck

Missouri. How much more white trash could you get than that? And it was called fireworks with purpose. And then down below it in smaller letters, it said, belonging, family, faith. It's like they are targeting poor, sad millennials who don't have a community and are lonely as hell. It's really sad. I look at those things and it makes me want to sob,

not because I get emotional by it, but because I'm fucking disgusted. as hell. It's really sad. I look at those things and it makes me want to sob. Not because I get emotional by it, but because I'm fucking disgusted. Okay, moving on. The next one is like hot people that drive hoopties. If I see someone super hot, like I saw one today, perfect face, I could tell he had a perfect body even though he was sitting down. But then I looked out and he was driving a 1999 gold Nissan Maxima. Lost me in that them there moment. If you're driving a disgusting car, you are not taking advantage of your looks.

I immediately think that you're stupid. Okay, moving on, last but not least, is dogs and children being compared? I know that you can love dogs like your children, but they are not the same damn thing. My sister Sarah just had a baby baby and my other sister, Shelby, took him up to Sarah's dog. So it was like, oh, my gosh, meet your brother.

This is your brother. Is that he's so cute? Like, shut up. Shut up. OK, Shelby, shut up. They are not the same genetically. One of them came out of Sarah and one of them came out of a creature that shits and pisses in the yard. You can love them the same, but they are not the same biologically. So you cannot say that they are siblings. Shut up.

Okay. Well, I hope you guys are both doing fabulous. I am in a really heated up mood, but Angelina, Punk and Tina, I hope you're getting laid and Jennifer, I hope you're probably whacking pickleballs somewhere in Oklahoma. Love you both. Kisses. Okay, that's love. I had to take notes.

Yeah. So that we could break down. I saw you and I was glad. One of my favorite things on the planet to browbeat and the one thing that I've had it with above and beyond anything else is evangelical church culture. It is a pyramid scheme. it is a Ponzi scheme, it is a racket, it is bullshit, it is based on emotional manipulation

and emotional blackmail. And I wanna tell you guys a story. So when I went back to work after having both of my kids, I needed, as an interior designer, I needed a part-time assistant to come in like 10, 15 hours a day. And I had this group- A week?

Yeah, I'm sorry, a week. Thank you, pumps. Dementia. DEI podcast, the Ds for Dementia. And this was a girl, so it was my husband's legal secretary's friend. And I was like desperate because I had to go pick up my kids by a certain time. And it was really difficult to go back to work with a baby and a toddler. And so this girl comes to work for me and one day she comes into the office and she's

like so stressed out, like visibly. And I'm like, Hey, are you okay, Mindy? Are you, are you going to, are you okay? And she? Are you are you gonna? Are you okay? And she had tattoos all over her arms, which I don't give a shit about. She says, Yeah, just, you know, my husband, I just been praying a lot about, you know, if it would be godly for us to get another tattoo. And I'm sitting there, what I'm sitting there looking at her. And then I'm like glancing down at her arms. And I kind of look back at her. And I'm like, is Asht and I'm glancing down at her arms and I kind of look back at her and I'm like, is Ashton Kutcher about to walk in here?

Am I getting punked? Like, what the fuck is going on? You're praying about getting a tattoo? You already have 7,500 tattoos on you. I said, well, Mindy, what do you mean? She said, well, you know, your body is a temple and I got these tattoos before I was saved the second time. I'm just sitting there thinking, okay, they had three kids, they were dead ass broke, they were total Republicans, totally voted against their own interest.

And I thought this is wild that she is tortured, spending so much emotional time and space and has been to 95 circle jerk Bible study groups about getting a tattoo or not. And then she looked at me and she said, what do you think? I said, well, Mindy, I don't know if you know this, but I'm an atheist. So the whole idea that you're strung out over this just further confirms why I have zero interest in being religious at all. This is insanity. And then another time she comes in late for work, and I was kind of pissed because I'm very punctual, especially in a work setting. And I said, why were you late

for work today? You didn't call me. And she said, oh, we go up to this high school and we offer them all donuts in the morning to try to recruit them to come to the church for pizza at lunch. So they prey on high schoolers and they go and give them donuts in lower income neighborhoods. Targeted? Yes. And then recruit them to come over to the church to get pizza to try to save them. This is extreme exploitation. Their biggest argument is, if you don't believe the way we do, you're going to burn in hell forever.

And then it promotes all of this crazy Christian narcissism. And every evangelical I know has this wild, wild narcissism that God loves them the most, that they are chosen, that they are so exceptional, and the rules that apply to everybody else don't apply to them because they're so chosen and they have a personal relationship with Jesus. It's never about helping the poor, helping the sick, not judging. It's only about recruiting people to have the same shallow spiritual foundation that you have, which is A, unattractive and B, a total racket and C, damaging to society at large. Look no further than the Donald Trump MAGA base.

I hate it. Yeah, I agree. And I was part of it. I grew up hate it. Yeah, I agree. And I was part of it. I grew up in it. So I completely, the narcissism, the entitlement, the I'm better than you, it can't happen to me because I'm better, I'm chosen. That's how I was raised. That's how I believed. So I completely that and that is my absolute biggest gripe looking back. I mean, obviously have a lot of them not teaching critical thinking skills,

no ability to solve problems outside of prayer, which doesn't work, all of those things. But the way that I judged the world and other people is such a huge regret for me. And it's all because of the evangelical movement. But Pumps, I think you have to be kind to yourself and not regret that. And here's why. You were indoctrinated by no choice of your own. You were threatened and emotionally bullied and blackmailed to be a certain way. You were never allowed to go be the person that you are now. And as soon as you broke free from that, look at where you found yourself. Look at your authentic self.

So don't regret. You didn't have a choice in that. That was thrust upon you. And so many people die being judgmental and bitter and never find enlightenment. And you have this enlightenment now that you can share with people who are probably tortured by the same faith, the same way you were. When I first met you, you were tortured by it. You were not at peace, not nearly like you are now. You weren't near the person that you are now. So your story is actually helpful and beneficial for so many people that are indoctrinated into this, you know, mega church pyramid scheme cult, because they don't have a choice to go find enlightenment and to be better people and when you were given that choice you did it.

So don't have regrets. You're a nice good person in the story. There are millions of Americans that were indoctrinated just like you and to give a voice to that on a platform like this to me is so helpful and maybe it was hashtag God's plan. Thoughts and prayers went into into it or was it Satan? One on each shoulder. Okay, next one. Okay. Up next we've got Addison. Pumps, Jennifer, I'm actively in and I've had it at this moment. I've had it at this moment. I have had it

with people that ask you if you wanna grab something to eat. You agree to it against your better judgment because if you're like anything like me, I'm hungry all the fucking time. Okay, I could eat anything anywhere. I already know what I wanna eat. When I'm eating lunch, I'm thinking about what I'm gonna have for dinner. When I'm eating eating lunch I'm thinking about what I'm gonna have for dinner when I'm eating breakfast. I'm thinking about what I'm gonna have for lunch

Okay, I go to bed after dinner thinking about what I'm gonna have for breakfast So I've already got this shit cleaned out So if you're gonna ask to eat with me if you're gonna have the pleasure of my presence while you're eating a meal You better come with a suggestion and if I suggest something and then you say no, you better come up with a backup or an alternative and don't even get me started on the food allergies or the diet. You got somebody that's keto

asking if you want to eat with them, fuck no. I'm not gonna have you forcing your diet upon me. That's fucked up. Anyways, I'm headed to In-N-Out right now. Let me know if y'all want something. I'm like, fuck you. Fuck you if you're keto. There's nothing more satisfying than hearing somebody's grievance and then in the middle

of it they're like, they say what the person does and it's like, fuck you. Go fuck yourself. That to me is just like so cathartic to hear. Because that's how you feel. Yes. That is exactly how you feel. Okay, this will not surprise you, but I don't think I've ever told you this. So when my ex-husband and I were dating, so the law office that I worked at,

we were 11 o'clock lunchers. Like we went to lunch, strike the bell at 11, somewhat like we do now. So he would always call and say, hey, do you wanna get a lunch? And I'd say, oh, well, we have plans, but you can come with us. And so he'd say, okay, can we go at 11.45

or can we go at noon and can we go this place? So he changed the place and changed the time. That is so typical. Isn't it so typical? And so I came out of my office one day and my law partner was like, fuck him. He can either come with us or he didn't have to come with us. But we're not changing our shit. This is what we do.

He knows this is what we do. And I was like, fucking right on. That's exactly how I feel with this. Like if you want to come with me, this is where we're going. And I have a friend like this that we all conspire, we pick a restaurant and then we don't say, where do you want to go? It is we are going here and here's the time we're going. Come or don't come. Like those are your options. We don't leave it up for discussion. We don't want any input. Either you come or you don't. Yeah, I relate to that.

But the part that he was talking about reminded me of something where he talks about where he has when he finishes breakfast, he's talking about lunch. When he finishes lunch, he's talking about dinner. So when you were married to the same person that would hijack your lunches, and we went to Mexico a few times together for Thanksgiving. Your family is very meal focused. Like, when are we going to breakfast? When are we going to breakfast? We have to go to breakfast. And then we would go to breakfast. And it's like, I remember sitting watching and it was like, I mean, it was like a Southern cholesterol plate. P piles of bacon, piles of sausage, piles of eggs, then French toast

and all this stuff. And I remember looking at Josh going, God, this is something else. I mean, this is a major, major, major meal. And I would watch her ex-husband eat about four pieces of food. And then at the end of the breakfast, and I'm sitting there mesmerized, like, how can somebody eat this much in the morning? And then I'm watching him and then he would go, God, that was great. Where do you all think you want to hit lunch today? Down on the beach or back up in here? You think maybe we'll go into town? And I'm like, I'm full by proxy. Right. I'm full by proxy of watching everything you just ate. And so I don't like to put a

whole lot of focus on meals. I eat early lunch, early dinner, and that's it. I don't really snack and I have to do that. And I've done that my whole life. And so when I'm around people that are super meal focused and have long drawn up meals and order high caloric meals. It makes me less hungry. Listener, spring into healthy cleaning.

Okay. Up next, we've got Jacob M. Hello to the cast and crew of the I've Had It podcast. This is Jacob calling again from Fresno, California. And I just wanted to say I've had a political I've had it with people who pretend to support you to your face and then do the complete opposite. So I'll break this down. But back in the day, I used to work in pageants. And there was this one girl named Alexandra Macedo, who I really enjoyed. She was really nice to me. And afterwards, she started running for California Assembly, which

she got very Republican and asked me to do her makeup for something. And I was like, Oh, no, I can't do that. Because we disagree on a lot of things, including who I am as a person, because I'm one of the girls, as you know. And so I've just had it with people kind of like, not really sticking to their guns and only being nice to gay people when they need something. She also had a tomato thrown at her at a recent high speed rail conference. So that might be fun to look into. But yeah, that's what I got. So anyways, hope you all are doing well in this wonderful world we're living in and stay

strong and stay feisty, ladies. Bye. This is like your grievance from day one. Yeah. I mean, this is a grievance that I've had that predates Trumpism. No, it's day one since I've known you. Yeah. Like it very, very, very much bothers me and it makes me feel I have a physical

reaction to this brand of hypocrisy and it really deeply bothers me. And back when Pumps was a mega, mega, mega churcher, evangelical, we got along so well you guys and I enjoyed her so much. But oftentimes I would kind of pull back because the ability to be nice to a gay person to their face, and then when I would say, you can't vote like that. Well, I mean, that's just, it's in the Bible. You can't be gay.

And it would hurt, like physically, it was difficult for me. And I just wanna thank you on the stage for finding enlightenment. Because I think I would have, I would have been a normal person. The distance would have just kept going what brought us together as we had kids the same age, incredible chemistry, enjoyed each other's company. But your original, my original introduction to your politics and evangelical Christianity proved difficult for me at times to navigate. And I'm just, but you're smart and I'm just so grateful and I'm so proud of you that you,

like on your own, like you found who you really are. We always believe in you. We must have been kind of uncomfortable. You're so sweet. But you did. I mean, it's, it's, it's a, it's an important story right now. I think it's a really important story. And I know that all of us hate triple Trumpers. But at some point, some of these people,

there could be something good in there. There could be something good. Some evolution, you think? Maybe. I mean, I think it's going to be like a cult deprogram. Somebody in our Patreon, let me find this, put this in one of the Patreon chats, and I wanna share it. Okay, it's a website called Leaving MAGA. And Becca Louise put this in here. She's one of our Gatriots in Patreon.

And the mission statement is, empower others to leave MAGA and tell their stories. Foster reconciliation with their friends and family, develop movement leaders to help others leave. And the guy who founded this was a devoted MAGA, let me read this to you. Dear MAGA Americans, I was a devoted member of MAGA Nation for seven years. It made me feel I was a part of something important, of movement that was trying to save American democracy. But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away.

During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. S coming to these predatory myths does not mean you are unintelligent, weak, or lack good character and morals. I have a bachelor's degree. I've been a working professional my entire life. I am a family man and consider myself relatively honest and intelligent person. I think the same about you. I understand the reasons you have for supporting MAGA and I know many of us travel different paths to get there.

I gravitated to Donald Trump because I've always been suspicious of our two-party system, and I saw him as the right man at the right time. I have a sense that some of you have quietly left MAGA already or are increasingly regretful, confused, and scared. All of this can be doubly upsetting since some of your sincerely held beliefs may have alienated you from friends and family. That certainly happened to me. It's perfectly okay to feel this way. Leaving MAGO was a tumultuous roller coaster of a process for me. It may be one of the most difficult endeavors to embark upon. In the end, it brought me an inner peace and a newfound clarity about what is happening to our beloved country. And then he goes on

to say he founded this to help other people. And here's what I have to say, patriots, gay triots, they triots. As like a knee jerk reaction right now, I think I fucking hate triple Trumpers. They deserve everything they get. And that makes me feel good in the moment to say that. But as a progressive person that cares about humanity, we have millions of Americans that have fallen prey to this Ponzi scheme that is MAGA, much like evangelical Christianity is. And, you know, there are a lot of probably some good people in there. And it's hard to think about it now because we're all so mad and we're all so angry. But at some point, there's going to have to be a lot of groups like this Leaving MAGA group

to help them. It's kind of like an Alcoholics Anonymous, You know, a support group to help them get deprogrammed. And if you have, and I have a hard time with this still, but I know at the end of the day, my, I want what's best for people. And I hope that people can find their way away from hating immigrants and, and bullying trans people and wanting to help billionaires get more private planes and help the working class and help people with cancer access healthcare. I want that for people. I want people to have that empathy.

And so I think your story, Pumps, is helpful. And I think that after this episode and other episodes and after our book comes out, you're gonna get a lot of people that say, I was exactly like Pumps. I was exactly like her. I did exactly as I was told. I was a good boy or I was a good girl

and then I got away from it and got deprogrammed and I'm much happier now. And I think it's a really important story and it shows that you have agency over who you are and you have agency over what you believe. And you don't have to be a dick to people that are gay, that are black, that are poor. You don't have to do that. Your religion may teach you to do that. And I'm not talking about Christian-like people, don't go bananas. I'm talking about these crazy Catholics and these evangelicals that are the epicenter of MAGA. And you have

agency. You don't have to be a dick. See, I, having been one of these people, I mean, not to the level of a triple Trump, but having evolved, I should have more appreciation and patience with people in this. But part of me thinks some of them are never going to get out. It's kind of like the Scientology thing. They're never going to get out and see it. I do think you have to have a place for these people to help them because I think the lack of community, they feel community with all this. They think that they have friends in this.

So when they get away from it, they're going to feel isolated. So they have to have a community of other people. And I should have more grace than most people, but it's just really hard for me to believe that there's a person, you know, more than just a fraction of a percent of them that will find in light. Because I think the cruelty that's so embedded, that's like a human character defect. And I'd love to think they can get empathy. But I don't know. I mean, I'm so grateful for this person doing it. And if somebody came to me and was like, Hey, I'm a triple jumper and I want to, I want to get out of that. I want to do better. I

could have patience for that. But as a group at large, do I have a lot of hope that they're going to critically think, start vetting their news, doing the right thing, voting for human rights. That's a stretch for me. I hope I'm wrong. I would love to be wrong. You would have more expertise in this than I would because the one person I had in my life that was this

was you and you found enlightenment. But it's hard. But you were in, you know, I mean, as free as last year, you were, I mean, your kids still went to that MAGA school with the anti-gay contrast and all of that stuff. And you were in the epicenter of that. And that's devastating to hear that you think those people will always be dicks.

Well, I think a lot of them will. You're probably right. Because it's hard. You have to self-reflect, you have to do the work, you have to be open to the fact that you're wrong, you have to accept that you have character defects and that you have been doing the wrong thing, and that's hard.

You have to admit that your way failed and you have to start a new course. I mean, it's not easy. I mean, I think you're probably right, but I do think that there's going to be a small percentage. I do think there will be a small percentage. And I think there's going to be a percentage of people that are going to be injured economically and it's gross and that people don't care about things until it personally impacts them.

That's right. And I have a hard time having empathy for these people, but I always, my reach around, as we talked about in a recent episode, is that my vote covers them. That's right. And on an individual basis, it's difficult for me to be around, especially people who have enough intelligence to vet their news, and they choose to traffic in the cruel news where they're mean to trans people and gay people.

It's just it's really it's really devastating what's happening to our country right now. It is it's really really devastating. And I think one of the biggest things that we can do is come here every Tuesday and Thursday and on our IHIP news and I think that we need to and on our I have news. And I think that we need to let people know what you're seeing is real. And the lack of reaction and the paralysis that you're seeing and that you personally may be feeling, that's really happening.

This shit is really happening. And people are minimizing it, which is a form of abuse. When somebody abuses you and then the person minimizes it, which is what Trump and Musk do, which is what Fox News does. They abuse the fuck out of their listeners and their viewers, and then they minimize their feelings after the fact. And that's what all of that is. But here's at the end of the day, I'm not going to host the Triple Trumper reunion and the deprogramming, but I just thought that that was interesting that that type of thing is popping up. Hopefully it will continue in large numbers. Okay. I want to thank all of our callers. Please

send a DM to I've had it podcast, Instagram with your grievance and fuck. We're fucked. We hope we will see you next Tuesday and Thursday. Listen up, patriots, gaytriots, and natriots. We have a new podcast that has dropped. It's called IHIP News. It's Monday through Friday, every day, 15 to 20 minute hot takes on the political landscape of the United States of America, always served with a side of petty grievances.
