Perhaps you know what we need to do this holiday season, what go bananas? With exercise stemming from our Peloton bikes, there's so much fun. I love doing it. It is so much fun and we can spend our hard earned money on our bikes and we can go bananas. What's so great about Peloton is you can unleash the real you, the real pumps you want to try climb a hit, a low impact ride cla*s. You can you can hop off the bike and pivot the screen to do a bar strength or yoga cla*s. And I know you really love that bar cla*s. I do love the bar. It is an entertainment mashup that will have you singing at the top of your lungs like a maniac, sweating and moving around without judgment. Peloton takes the work out of workout.

Unless I'm there, of course, save on every room, every night when you click on Clayton at Clayton Hotels.com. Clayton Hotels. Our focus is always you. So are we supposed to start the podcast? One, two, three. It's back in action, I think, for fun from time to time, you should do it. Five, six, seven eight and then clap. You know, I have no musicality that one two three is probably I can do the five six seven eight OK. Five six seven eight. And yeah, OK. We can do that. I think it would be good. Perhaps what if you had it with what I've had it with? You know, I have a real problem with baby talkers. Mm-Hmm. So when I was in the airport recently, this woman who had sunglasses on inside, which goes all through me and huge, huge, huge lips like I know mine are big, but I mean, hers are like, really big, OK? She's behind me. Face timing her husband. And she starts baby talking in Spanish. And I'm just like. It's bad enough that you're in a line baby talking, but you're on face time in a line, baby talking in the worst part is I can't understand what you're saying because I really want to write. So I just I've had it with baby talkers in any language. So it sounds like there were multiple violations before you even get to the so many before you even get to the baby talking, bilingual, baby talking, bilingual baby time, which normally is an asset for you. I'm I'm totally turned on by anybody that can speak another language like two languages. I'm your girl. But she had on sunglasses inside, which is my number one biggest bugger. I've had it ever face time, call hate, face time in public in a line. And then baby talking like she was the trifecta of I've had, it's yeah, you know, the airports really bring out the worst in people, especially me. It reminds me of her one time the kids were pretty little and we were coming back from Mexico and Josh and I mean, I think we had flight delays and we finally make it. And we're in like customs and immigration, right? And we're like, you know, you're snaking through the line, right? You know how they wind you through. And so. There was like, I'm like, let's just go under this, right? So I go under it. The kids go under it. Josh goes in and wraps the fabric thing, holds it back. And then like 20 people like, think he thinks that he works there and they start charging through. And I look at him, go, Josh, you can't like, you can't let all of these people pass you. This is eat what you kill. We're in customs like you have to jockey for your position. So he gets mad at me and the kids are standing there staring at me. I mean, they're probably like six and nine. And he was like, What do you want me to do when I go? You are such a f**king dick. Like, everybody heard me right? The kids heard me, and then we just kind of stormed through customs and are just kind of pissy to each other. But now that Josh and I are so much more evolved beacons of mental health, multiple rehabs, dance and, you know, hours of therapy later, right? We juggle now when we're at the airport looking for the couples that are getting mad at each other, right, like we used to. Yeah. And so we'll be in line and you'll see the mom like watching what what he's doing right now. Look, look, he's yeah. And it's so hilarious. And he'll be like, Look, she's really giving him that business, isn't she? Well, I mean, when you have little kids, it makes it worse. But sometimes you see people that don't have little kids that are fighting, that are bickering with one another at the airport. And I'm telling you listener, this is peak entertainment. Yes, I used to be a part of the problem. I did, too, but I'm a much better person now. I just am much more relaxed because I'm not married anymore. I think that's why I go through customs. I used to like if we had a plane change, like coming through customs, particularly, I would run out, smoke a cigarette and come back, so I would brave that line twice. I've done that with you. I mean, what the fact multiple times? I mean, how about do we hate security lines? And I just volunteered to double it all? Yeah, I mean, I would basically run off the jet bridge. Yeah, run out there, smokes backstroke, run back, wait and security line again. Yep. God, you couldn't be not addicted. I couldn't be not addicted now. But I'm just telling you listeners, keep an eye out. When you're at the airport, you're bored, starting to get frustrated, look at the couples and look at the teeth grinding and the whispering in the low voice like this. Like, Get up there. Get your idea. God damn it. Where's your boarding pass? Yeah, it's really good because everybody like collectively is sharing this irritability and frustration out. Obviously, there's nothing more satisfying than taking out said frustration on your life partner. There's nothing better than that, but I no longer do that anymore because I'm just all cupcakes and roses over here. You're so evolved. It's unbelievable. Enlightenment City over here. Yes, I just I'm only petty and little on this podcast, right? I mean, I just look up on the high road and I only see the soles of your shoes. You know, it's cold up here on the moral high ground. You need to bring me a blanket so I can just curl up on the moral high ground. Yeah. All right. So let me tell you what I've had it with. I've had it with the over abundance of surveys. Oh yeah. Everything that I do, I go to get a blowout. Please rate your blowout. Did you like your blowout? You stay at a hotel. How is your experience? And it goes on and on. And then I've noticed something new. So that's like 25 emails after an event is over with it, right? I don't want to relive. Now I've noticed something new when I'm using an app in the midst of using the app, a little alert pops up. Are you enjoying your experience? Oh, I hate that on this app. I hate that. And then you, you're forced and you have to pay. Go forward unless you fill it out. You have to put yes. And then it will prompt you again. Please give us a star rating and you have to do it. Yeah. And so like, I'm being forced into a Yelp review that I didn't opt into. Like, I can go and give this thing a review later on my own terms should you want to. But they're engineering this app to where you're forced. You're locked and loaded. And then it's and then I'm like, I didn't want to do this. I didn't want any part of this. This is ruining the entire app experience for me. Jebet, there's no comment right there where you could say, I left the app until you sent me the survey and you f**king suck. That's right that that would be great, but I'll tell you. Speaking of five stars and reviews, I would be remiss if I didn't remind our listener to go to Apple and leave us a five star review, right? Because we do not practice what we preach, and neither should you. Mm hmm. Or if you're going to leave a one star review, make it a great eight comment and enjoy those, too. I saw somebody the other day on Apple left like a four star review and explained why it was a four star review. And then I was just like, You know, honestly, that's fair. I'd say we're about a four star podcast. You don't even have to leave an explanation for such a mediocre rating. You know, like, like, I'm fine with four stars, right? I mean, honestly, in my opinion, that's exceeding expectations that we had upon ourselves. Right. We're about a two point five and we're three on a good day. Right, right. Yeah, exactly. Welcome everyone to I've had it. I'm Jennifer. I'm Ian G. We just want to thank everybody for listening to us on Tuesdays and Thursdays because we have a lot. We have to say, don't worry, pumps. We do not all of its meaningful, but we have a lot to say. Yeah, it's a lot of rhetoric to jet stream of bulls**t, right? But we stand by it until we do it. Nothing we ever say is that deep unless we're talking about social justice issues. So everyone that loses their f**king mind in the comment sections. Check yourself. Take a chill pill. Get mad about apps and f**king airports is not that deep. People know just petty grievances. Lots of them. Yep. Kylie's here. Kylie, what's going on in the in the complaining world of the internet? You brought up five star reviews. I've got one for you. Oh, good. This one's titled EyeRoll g*****n City. I like that. I love that. And they write these to AARP. Members can make me laugh like no other. I'm so glad there are two people in this world that see how stupid the general public is. Love you, Jessica and pimps. P.S. When Pump's is put into a home in a few years due to her age, please continue the pod. That won't be a problem. I mean, Kylie and I will just continue right on. I think she said these to AARP, so I really got lumped in. She rectified later when she said Pops is put into a home. I was going to attack that. I think you're she rectified it later when she said, draw a distinction where there really isn't one. She rectified it later when she said when Pops is getting put into a home due to her age. No mention of me or that girl, Jessica. You think Jessica is quite a bit younger than you? Yes. But that's not who also got a one star review. Oh, good. Titled The Worst Who gave these to Karen to microphone? Does anyone want to hear privileged white women complain about the mundane, bitter, boring and vanilla are the nicest things I can say about this podcast. I'll own a lot of that, but I will not own vanilla. I don't think either one of us or vanilla. We're like rocky road ice cream, not vanilla. I disagree. You don't think we're we're totally vanilla. I don't think we're super vanilla. I mean, I'm sorry. Pops were white. We have blonde hair. We yeah, but we like, think outside the box. We know not. We do in Oklahoma for the rest of the f**king world. True. I stand by it. I'm rocky road. I'm not vanilla. Iraqi road to me. Thank you. Eight. That's sweet. You want one more? Yes. OK. Five stars titled Keeping It Tight Jennifer and her middle aged lesbian friend are just fabulous. Five Stars. And so it continued, that's good s**t right there, oh. Listener. Before we proceed, I have to tell you a little somethin. The plot is thickening on all of us gaslighting pumps into the lesbian arc, so we all know about the erotic dream, right? So we were on to a couple of weeks ago and we're on stage and we're talking in New York and we're talking about his erotic dream, which I always knew was with the basketball player. And perhaps that was the twin you knew there was a I know she was a twin, but I thought you only had the erotic dream with one of them. Right? Come to find out it is a incestuous Minaj Artois. It was with an orgasm via the star of our show pumps with two twin sisters, and we need to remind the listener and the public at large. This is the singular, wet dream this woman has ever had in her life. It's that it's when not very many. I mean, I know it. It's not very many. I know boys have a more than girls. How many of you had? I don't even think I could count them. Oh, really? So over 10. Oh, my God, pumps? Yes. Pumpkin, I ask you a question about this dream. Yes. I mean, it's been 20 years, so I mean, I don't know how many details will have. We talk about you being a pillow princess, right? Did you do anything to them or did you just get. That's a great question, Kylie, and I can honestly say, I don't remember. I would assume I know we kissed. But I know that still qualifies as pillow princess. They did something to make you orgasm doubt, totally. But I don't know what that was. I'm just wondering if it was mutually beneficial for the twins as well. I'm guessing. I mean, if I had to, like, put a gun to my head, I'd say probably not beneficial to them. You're not a giver, not a giver in the lesbian dream, I don't think. I mean, I could have been I could have been a rock star. I could have just been unbelievable in the sack. But I don't remember. Let's let's dive into this making out with people in your dreams. Who else have you made out with? I don't know. You know, like somebody run into the supermarket. I'm a scene for a while. I end up kissing when you're doing or something like that. I mean, nothing like it wasn't like Brad Pitt or anybody. Do you think the girl in the Dream would say, you're a good kisser? These other people, I would think that I'm a great kisser in my dreams. Do you think the girls would say that? Yes, both girls. OK, I'll just I ask Kylie this all the time, Kylie, what do you think about all this? I think it sounds pretty gay. That's just becoming my tagline because of you both. What else has been going on? You were in court today. I had mediation today. Liked my client. So that's always good. Am. Oh, OK. So the mediator today told me that we had a case together, like when I was a baby lawyer. And the only thing she remembers about the case was that when the judge went off the bench during the recess, I went in the corner and took my pain. He has often threw him in the trash can. I was like, I don't remember that, but it sounds exactly like me. I haven't worn pantyhose since then. And I also remember before there were cameras in the halls I used to go through, like going from Florida floor and I'd like spike up my Spanx in the hall, like pull my dress up in the stairwell, pull my dress up, put it down. And then probably like 10 years ago, I was doing that and I looked at their cameras. I was like, Well, f**k, we have reached the the new life that you can't pull up your Spanx in the stairwell. What do you mean? Pull up your Spanx, like if you're wearing Spanx and they like, start falling or something, you pull them up. So I would like flip my skirt up. High camp, like high camp they were, but just readjust, OK, so you're lifting the skirt all the way and then grabbing both sides of the spanks and adjusting them up, kind of like an old, chubby man, you know, that always would have like a toothpick in his mouth gets up and he's like, Yeah, with suspenders kind of, and kind of like pulling it up over his guard. So you were kind of doing the old white man? Well done. Yeah. 15, like 15 years in that stairwell. Then it got busted on the CCTV or whatever you call it. So now don't do that anymore. I wonder who was watching it? Probably no one. Oh, I don't know. I think that, you know, maybe those twins were watching. All right, Richard. This, ma'am. Do you have anything for us? You guys sound great. I just love your voices. Oh, thank you, Richard. All right. So listen up, listener. We have. A great guest today. A really great guest. Mm-Hmm. She is a comedian and actress.

Welcome to I've had it, I'm good, thank you for having me. I love your set. Oh, thank you. Well, we like to meet here every Tuesdays and Thursdays to discuss little petty grievances that we've had, and we consider it therapeutic to get these things off of our chest with friends. You know, we we have found being positive all the time doesn't work for us and we've tried it and we ended. We ended up in hours upon hours of therapy sessions. And that's that's a different podcast on a different day. But we we consider ourselves more enlightened now. We consider ourselves beacons of mental health. We do place positivity and we got to a new realm of cynicism, positive, positive cynicism, positive cynicism as our brand. So in that vein, Sasheer, tell us what you've had it with. I had it with people telling me to stop killing spiders in my own home. It's my space and I get to decipher who stays alive and and not in my own home. I think I can't stand the people that Azure bugs out of their house instead of just killing it. I'm like, f**king get over it. Kill it. Move on. It's Darwinism. Julie. I mean, it's like, this is there's plenty outside outside of my house, and somehow you chose to go inside. And now that's just the rule. This is my domain. And I've seen all the articles that are like, don't kill the bugs because they kill other bugs, which feels like they wrote, it feels like it's better that are totally also just that. Like, yeah, spiders are going to decrease the the bug count in my house. They're adding to it. They are the bugs. I can get rid of them myself. I don't need the actual spiders. I'll get rid of all the bugs. I don't need you right? I've had it with all the bags. I totally agree. I was once bitten by a Black Widow. Yes. And it like I had the bite mark and then it showed through my veins where the poison traveled through and you could like see where it went. So I'm I'm really big into spider homicide. I mean, I think it's something the three of us could band together to promote because there's like it's a giant globe. They probably outnumber us for sure, you know? And I think that once you come on to enemy territory like my house, your house, it's it's war at that point. Yeah, it's the death penalty. I agree. There's also this awful rumor that you swallow like eight spiders a year or something. Yes, I googled that. Yeah, I googled it, too. Yeah, that was like a I think it was a test to see how fast a rumor could spread or something like that. It was like a fake tidbit that was given to the people and the people ran with it. And they're like, Yeah, we saw them in our sleep, but it's like we have esophagus. Guess they would close. It's not like our mouth is just open in like a hallway for bugs to go down. And don't you just love that, like so many people are so gullible that they buy into that that like, oh yeah, as a species, we're swallowing dozens of spiders every night and nobody wakes up. Nobody goes, What is this on my tongue? Because, you know, the likelihood that one would get stuck on somebody nasty ass, plaque filled tongue, you know, the legs could get stuck in there and they'd wake up and people would be pulling spiders out of the. And I haven't heard of one word. I haven't heard of one documented case of this yet. We have all of these people that love to believe bulls**t. Yes. I mean, I believe a pretty crazy story. My mom told me that turkeys were so dumb that they would drown in the rain like that it would be raining right and they would look up at the sky because they'd be like, Whoa, what's that? And then they'd swallow the rain and drown. And I was I. I lived my whole life into adulthood thinking this was a truth. And I said it out loud to a friend and they're like, You can't possibly think that's right. And I was like, Well, my mom said it when I was 12. Why would I question that? And then we looked it up. And it's I mean, it's absolutely not true. Same kind of science with this fighters. Of course, Turkey's just open up their throat and then swallow rain and die, and they know what rain is. It's not like they're confused. I think what will actually happened is it was like a southern old wives tale because there were a bunch of turkeys that were dying in the rain. And I think what happened was it would rain. They try to run away from the water and they would like client try to climb over each other at the fence and claw each other to death. Oh, which is a more horrible story to tell your kids on the farm. So I think a lot of kids just got told, Oh, they're just drowning, which is. I was told that same thing as a child about a turkey, about the turkey. Yeah, really. I missed out on that. Yeah, the drowning turkey, because they were so dumb. That's exactly what I heard. Yeah. Kids get lied to quite a bit. Oh yeah. You know, starting with Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy. My mother would tell me this elaborate story, and she would be like, I'd lose a tooth. And she said, Oh, Jennifer, you just put it under your pillow. And I remember when I was just your age, I put my pillow, I put my tooth under the pillow, and I heard something in my room and I looked up and I saw this blond hair in this white gown exiting the room. And it was in fact, the tooth fairy. And I believed her like, I totally believed it. And then, you know what? My mother forgot one time she forgot to f**king do it. My mother would forget to pick me up at school. Of course, she forgot about the lost tooth, right? She would leave me a grocery store. Sometimes she totally forgot she had a kid. And so I wake up and I look under my pillow and I'm like, There's no money. So I go and tell my mom. She goes, Oh, she must've been really busy, darling, go back to bed. So I go back to bed. She comes in and gives me this giant hug slips like a $5 bill under the pillow case. And of course, then she leaves. And I, you know, I crack the entire case because the tooth was under there and the $5 bill and that jet stream of bulls**t about her seeing the tooth fairy's gown. It was just, I mean, she totally whistle blew on herself. Yeah. You know, it's a lie when there's like too many details on a white gown. Why is this important? Yeah, exactly. That is so true. Exactly. Well, what else have you had it with this year? I had these chairs, these outdoor chairs that I had like these thoughts of grandeur that I was going to like. Wrap them up in twine because I was like a kitschy and farmhouse. And I bought so much f**king twine and then I started it and I was like, Oh, this is going to take me my entire life. Why did I ever think I could do this? And so I stopped. It looked so pathetic, and just like one row of like twine on the top of this chair and I gave up, and the other day I took the twine back to the Ace Hardware and the cash version of the cash register was like, Oh, what were you doing with all this? And I was like, Oh, I was doing a project with these chairs. I gave up and she was like, I would have loved to have seen that, and I was like, I gave up, just take the twine away from me and that this project will never happen. And in fact, I'll probably throw the chairs away. I just like, don't ask me about it anymore. Exactly. Do you do a lot of home improvement stuff all the time? It's like, obviously not. You know what the biggest racket in the DIY world is, and it is the gingerbread houses around Christmas time. So my kids are now 17 and 20, but when I was this young, you know, just aspiring mother and I wanted everything to be magical for my children before I realized how doomed we all were. And so I would go to target and I'd buy, Oh, this looks so great. It looks just like what you see on TV. I'm going to build this gingerbread house. I have never I've tried probably seven different times. They're impossible to build, right? They fall apart. The walls fall apart. You are set up for failure and then the kids are upset. Have you ever tried to do these? I tried to do it once, and it was a disaster within the first 30 minutes and I said, f**k it, I don't. I don't know how you do it. Christmas time also just seems like a crafting nightmare for parents. I can't imagine I don't have kids, so I haven't been asked to do this. But like I've seen videos of people doing the elf on the shelf stuff for you to move elf. And every night, I always figured elf mode by itself. Yeah, I always forgot about more lies, more lies, and then I told Lies, and then I would forget about it. Just one more thing you have to do at Christmas, which is already over run with s**t. It's also very funny that we like want our kids to believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, as if those are good options. Like some, some old man is breaking into your home when you're asleep and has also been watching you sleep the entire year. Make sure you've been good, right then. And then they like, give you stuff. Or if you're bad, they give you call. Why is this a good story? I don't want to. Yeah. Now, with all the breaking into houses and sex offenders, the Santa Clause is a whole new light as an adult, for sure. Truly. So I don't trust strangers, but we do want this guy to enter our home while we're sleeping. So I did some a deep dive into you and I noticed that you were a celebrity ambassador to the ACLU, which is amazing. The ACLU does amazing work and specifically for the Women's Rights Project. So will you share with us and our listener because we're either trying to enlighten our listeners there on the middle of the road or get rid of the far right listeners? So do your parts share? My pleasure? Yeah, I've been working with the. ACLU since 2014, and they approached me because the things I would talk about in my standup or videos, I would make kind of aligned with what they were working with the women's rights project and so with so with them, I would make sketches or do speeches, and I basically try to like break down what they do in layman's terms because their lawyers and everything that they're doing is very law speak and get a funny lens on it. So talking about like racial bias or privilege or forced pregnancy and the the right, the reproductive rights have been stripped from us recently. Yes, those are big issues that the ACLU is working on right now. But I think I think that what they do is really important and I think the work they do is important. And I think really what they won when they work with like celebrity ambassadors is more amplifications, and I'm happy to do that whenever I can. So what is the what can you tell our listeners about the women's rights project? Because I think that, you know, obviously as a woman, you feel sexism and a gender disparity throughout your whole life. But I think it's I think if you're a woman of color, I think that feeling is even more intense than Angie and I could ever imagine. And so can you please share with our listener the challenges that you've faced as a black comedian? You know, forging a very successful career in your life? I faced a more disparity in my life than as a comedian, honestly. But you get surprised where you see it. I actually talk about this in my my stand as special. I just came out about the medical industry and how they don't necessarily listen to black women when we talk about pain, and this is issue that really happens to most women in general. There's just like a long history of medical professionals not understanding the difference between female bodies and male bodies because a lot of the research has been done on the human body is based on male bodies, and not a lot of literature has been updated. And then when it comes to African-Americans or people of color, not a lot of research has been done here. And so we might say something like, I feel pain here or this is an intense heat here or something like that. But then they're in their medical books. They have things literally say things like black people have thicker skin or are our veins are bigger or like like things that are just are not true, but they're still being taught those things. So I think talking about it and getting more vocal about it, people are like, Oh, wait, maybe we should actually like change some of this stuff or write or amend some of these things. But it's like it happens to people I know currently, like my friends, my family, me. I got hit by a car in college and went to the hospital, and they wouldn't give me painkillers because that is something that a lot of white people experience where they don't get painkillers because they are assumed that they can tolerate more pain where as if you are probably white, you will get painkillers immediately. Yeah, it's it's it's a disparity that I don't think a lot people think about, but it's it's a bias. It's very prevalent. Yes, you know, we had so we've had the podcast now for about 11 months and our first black guests that we had on Kylie, our producer makes, you know, reels to put on social media. And she spoke against Candace Owens. It was a really funny clip and we lost from our first black guest. We lost 5000 Instagram followers. And here's the diss. Here's the disgusting part Sasheer in the comment section on Instagram. They were flexing about it. The racists were like, Oh yeah, they lost followers and they're celebrating this. And as a woman, it really made me sick. And then as a white woman, it really made me like, Wow, you know, the experience that my friends that are of color have to go through so much more than I've had to. It just it really made me sad for humanity and makes me want to platform and lift up all black voices because this happened two or three months ago, right? Our first black guest and we lose five thousand followers and they're celebrating in the comment section. They want us to shut up because we're white southern women. You know, we're supposed to be a certain way. We're not shut the f**k up. It's not going to go away. If you ignore it, it's not like, Oh, we don't talk about it. If I don't think about race or think about injustice or anything like that, it'll just go away. It's prevalent. And these are also human issues is not like, this is a black issue or this is a woman issue or this is a. Indian, these are issues that affect all of us, and I think as a human, you should be concerned with these things because you want your community to be safe. You want your community to be safe for your children and safe for your neighbors. It shouldn't just be like, Well, I don't see it. So as long as they don't bother me, I'm fine because that's not like, that's not even I feel like a lot of like conservative or people touting like religion or something like that would be like, Well, you know, I don't want to be bothered with that. I just praise God and go to go to school or whatever, go to work. But it's like, there's that question like, that's and that's not what I feel like America was built on. Like, there's a lot of things that people are saying they believe in, but they're not putting it in practice. I mean, had it had it had it with it, you and me both? All right. Let's lighten it up. Let's play a game. Thank you for sharing that. It's something that I think I think that people have to get comfortable talking about and platforming so that we have empathy, you know, reciprocal empathy for one another and for everybody's experiences. And we like to do a lot of s**t talking on here. But any chance we can, you know, try to make a little bit of a difference, that's a hill will die on. Right? Yeah, I mean, I appreciate it. I'm glad you asked because, yeah, I do want your listeners to think outside the box and think outside their community because that is important. And that's what I like. I like doing comedy for that reason because I do feel like comedy can break down people's defenses and help them listen more to someone else's perspective. Like in my standup, I pretty much just talk about myself and talk about my life from a personal perspective. But that does include being a black woman in America. So if you are not that, you'll probably learn something, right? I did a show in D.C. a couple of years ago, and this man came up to me after the show and he was like, I want to tell you something. First off, I voted for Trump and I was like, Bad start why? I didn't ask, OK? And he was like, I voted for Trump, but I loved your show. I had no idea anything. I didn't know anything about your work. I didn't know who you were. I just came to a comedy show. But I did feel like I could connect to what you were saying on a human level. And like, even though I didn't go through these experiences, I didn't feel alienated. I didn't feel like I was broken down to. I just felt like, you know, this was just purely funny and you were talking from your experience as you experience it in the world. And I love that because it's not like I'm trying to like, get everyone to like, hold hands and kumbaya in my show or anything. I'm just speaking my truth, but I love that people are still able to understand it just because there's something in there that you can relate to. And I think that's what I want people to get when they see art. It's like, this is a human experience. We're all going through this even if you hadn't experienced it in your life specifically. Hopefully, you can understand a little bit more and have more empathy for the people that it is affecting. Agree. Totally agree. I love that this isn't a good start. OK, we're going to play a game with you called had it or hit it. Oh my god. Welcome to had it or hit it. I would hit it hard at it. I hit it every day, sometimes twice a day. Sasheer had it or hit it, going on dates for free meals. Oh. Hit it. I've done really. I know it's like it is a waste of time. You probably will be bored. But for a free meal I've been I was broke in New York for a long time and I was like, If you want to take me out and wine and dine me and I'll just laugh at your damn jokes for a little bit, there's no guarantee after I could. Maybe I did think I like this person. I did want to go on a date. It's a risk either way. So yes, I'll take your food. See, I've had some bad dates, so I mean, I would like rather like cement. I think the day that Sasheer had it or hit it, eyelashes on cars had it had it, there had tequilas. They are ridiculous. Who is it for? Like, is it for the viewer? Like, it's all the other drivers on the road or what was it like? Look in our rearview mirror and be like. Am I in the movie cars? Is his car flirting with me? I would think the person that put that on there thinks they are so cute and clever, and I'm like, You're not cute nor clever. You look stupid. Do you think they're Disney adults? There might be a strong correlation. There's a very long Pixar thing to do. Yeah, it really is. It really is. Okay. I've had it as well. Had it or hit it, Femme are teasing. Had it, what is it that Ed Feminizing is advertising with a feminist, lean to it and so many products and companies do it where they'll put like the men's values or all these like women. You go girl rah rah rah rah for you. Imagery in their ads for it to trick women basically into being like, I guess I need that thing. And it like happens with like body wash shampoo. A lot of period stuff where white women are just like, they're like climbing the corporate ladder. They're riding horses, they're golfing, they're playing soccer all on their period. I'm not doing any of that. I want to lay down. Show me that commercial. I just want to lay down a pillow in my lap. I have a heater on my back. Like what? Stop making me go outside. I don't want to do that. Yeah, it's like the whole. They do. And they do it with rainbow capitalism, too. You know, it's absolutely they try to reach out to targeted groups, but we did it. We read Amazon reviews sometimes on our episodes, and one of them was for BIC pens that were made for women in pastel colors. I mean, how gross? And the reviewer was real tongue in cheek. Like, I used this to prepare my recipe card for my husband's dinner, you know? Yeah, it's just that. But I agree. It's either it's one of the two. It's either like, here's the gender role or you're supposed to be in or liquid a boss b***h. You can be while you're bleeding on day two of your period and you want it literally kill spiders in your house, right? Yes. I just want to be in my house spider free now to do anything else. Yeah, it's very it really is tricky. And it's like they think they're doing something good, but they're really like pandering, and it sucks when feminism gets trendy, right? Not that it's obviously feminism is good, but it just sucks when is being used for corporate use? Totally. And you know what I've noticed? I never thought about this until some other countries started doing this, and they're giving all of their citizens free, sanitary, you know, like period tampons and pads. Really? Yes. Scandinavian countries. Free. And you think about it, you know, like if you're broke and you're working minimum wage, you're barely making ends meet and you have, you know, sometimes listener, these periods can be incredibly heavy and you feel terrible. And they're expensive. They are expensive. And I really I've had it with America for not giving away free, you know, women's sanitary supplies that we need for our periods. It should be free. I think I saw somewhere at some state at least took the taxes off of sanitary products. I saw that right. Oh yeah, I'm sure it's probably. It's probably Massachusetts, not Oklahoma, certainly not Oklahoma. They get all this stuff new in California. OK. All right. Had it or hid it. Purity. Culture. Oh, had it. Oh, yeah, that's such a weaponised tactic to control women's sexuality. Yes. And our bodies to be like your employer, if you sleep with too many men or you're impure, even if you lose your virginity, the idea of like virginity as a social construct is so wild because it's like, like, like someone took it from you. Someone has to take your virginity as opposed to you having a choice in whether or not you want to have sex. When you whenever you want to have sex, it's just like there's so many ways that you can shame a woman for owning up to their own body, and it's so unfortunate. I agree. So misogynistic to tell her about the people you know, that have given there about the rings. Oh yeah. So they give their daughters like on their 14th 15th, 16th birthday, something like that agreeing to wear on their finger like a wedding ring. But it's a purity ring, and you promise not to have sex before marriage and you get to keep the ring. Now, how f**ked up is disgusting. It's gross. It's gross for a parent, a dad to have that conversation with a hormone pumping teenager, and that's shame on them. It's so, it's so cringe in where we live. You get out in the suburbs where pimps lives and it's full of people know and they like they were. Listen to this. They'd be like, Those girls are crazy, they're going straight to hell and they're serious. Like, they believe that that's how indoctrinated this culture is. It's nothing your daughter is going to have sex. She doesn't, right? Rather, her have the information on how to do it safely and like, how did I get pregnant or how to not get a disease, then for you to slap a ring on her and just lie to lie to you now? Now it's like now she has to lie to you. You have created a culture where she doesn't feel safe to talk to you, right? And or or she's going to talk to her friends and get a litany of wild information because kids don't know anything, right? And it's just like, why? Why are we having the cycle go? Just like, give her information like, here's how to do it safely. I'd appreciate it if you wait until you're married or until you're an adult, but like if you're going to do it like, I want to be in the loop, right? Right. That's a much healthier way to talk to your kid about it. So Cher had it or hid it. This is the last one, Drake. Hmm. I think I'd say hit it. I mean, his music is very fun. I've never been to a live show, but you know, he's pumping out jams. It's unfortunate he he released an album recently that was like very like gay club, like this kind of music and people were like, No, Drake, what are you doing? You. That's not what we want from you. But then Beyonce did it, and everyone was like, Yes, we love that play. I feel bad that he did that. He somehow missed the boat on that train, but loops. Yeah, I don't know that I'd know a Drake song from any other song you would. I would. You would hear everywhere. And his collab with everybody, you would. You would one million percent know a ton of Drake songs? There's there's no way you could be alive living in on the planet and not know a Drake song. I mean, it's just a megastar. OK? Yeah. When you go to your WNBA games, they'll be like, Oh, that's funny that you say that because the only time I ever remember being acquainted with him was when the Raptors were in the NBA Finals, and he was such a vocal fan and so fired up. And they were like, that strike. And I'm like, Who the f**k is Drake? But so now I know he's a big music guy. I totally sasheer. I hope you feel better. I hope you feel like you've got. I hope you're able to go commit homicidal rage to these arachnids in your house was zero guilt because we support you wholeheartedly. I do feel better. I feel cleansed from the inside out. Kind of like a giant black rage out. Yes. Yes. Thank you so much for having me. This is fun. It was so fun to meet you. You are so gorgeous. You have the most gorgeous smile. Oh, thank you. Thank you. I love it. All right. Thank you so much, sir. Share. I like that. She likes to kill spiders because I hate little purses about spiders. Nobody likes her. You know somebody. I just I don't think I could save a spider. I know there are survivable bugs like a ladybug. I'm not going to kill. I'm not going to kill Lady Roly-Poly not going to kill a live roly-poly. But a spider is going down. A spider is going to circuito roach. All that s**t. A fly can't quit. Kill him quick enough. Yeah. All of those are. It's capital punishment, right? It's the death penalty. Come in my house. There's one penalty. Yeah, I can make exceptions for cute bucks. Yeah, unless irritating all those bugs that we mentioned are just f**king irritating. Yeah, they are irritating bugs. I'll tell you what, we'll just not surprise you at all. My daughter, when she sees a spider, you would think that she has been hijacked on a plane. She is so panicked, screams bloody murder. I'll run into her room and she's like, It's a spider like less than a dime size, and she's screaming hysterically. I'm like, You're a big f**king pussy. And I stomp on it. Pick it up, throw it in the toilet. Do you flush your spiders? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think I got a flush it to make sure if the murder wasn't a hundred percent successful, that the drowning will be. Yes, it's a twofold. Yes. Don't want any coming back? No. No, coming back to life. That's right. We have to make sure it completely goes all the way down all the way. Yes. So I'm sorry if there are any Buddhist listeners that are upset, but we believe in homicide for annoying bugs, right? But not like they're like bugs because they bug you. They back. Yeah, ladybugs, butterflies, really, really. Polies are exempt. Correct? For sure. All right. Listen up, listeners.
