Hey listeners, it's Jen and Pumps with I've Had

0:02

It and we want to share some

0:04

very devastating news. It

0:07

takes a lot of people to make I've

0:09

Had It be the

0:12

podcast that it is. You know me,

0:14

you know Pumps, you've

0:16

heard Kylie and you've heard us

0:18

talk about Seth. Some of you probably

0:20

heard us talk about Javi. And

0:23

we lost Javi over this past

0:25

weekend to gun violence and

0:28

the episode you're about to

0:30

hear was recorded prior to

0:33

his death. And we are

0:36

devastated and shattered into

0:38

a million pieces over here. And

0:40

I know a

0:42

lot of you have donated to his GoFundMe

0:45

page and have sent us the sweetest messages.

0:47

And we just want to express our gratitude

0:51

and our love for our

0:53

cherished co-worker and friend,

0:55

Javier Morales. Ready?

1:07

One, two, three. It

1:09

is a average

1:11

day with an average clap

1:14

from America's greatest legal mind. You

1:16

know what? You know how we like

1:19

to call you the legal eagle? So

1:22

some people were saying who's going to tell him.

1:24

I guess there's a guy

1:27

on YouTube that his

1:30

YouTube channel is the

1:32

legal eagle. Oh no, we're

1:34

infringing. But here's the deal. He

1:37

is the male legal

1:40

eagle. And we all know this is the

1:42

year of the woman. Absolutely.

1:46

I mean and I guess my

1:48

question would be does that legal

1:50

eagle have a Siberian Husky? I

1:53

would think probably no. So I think we

1:55

all know who wins that competition. I

1:58

think that's just right on its face. Because what?

2:00

What makes you so unique is

2:02

you are a bald eagle with

2:04

a Siberian Husky. Whereas this other

2:07

eagle is probably a

2:09

bald eagle with a bald eagle. And

2:12

so that's the distinction. That's

2:14

the distinction. When you launch your legal

2:17

eagle YouTube channel, it will be America's

2:20

bald legal eagle with

2:23

a Siberian Husky. And

2:26

I would challenge that

2:28

legal eagle. Do they

2:30

have a Meemaw Meat curtain jingle? Do

2:32

they have a Meemaw Meat and Phone number?

2:35

Meemaw Meat curtain phone number and business card?

2:38

I doubt it. I doubt it. Do

2:40

they have a drag name?

2:43

Probably not. Meemaw drag. Have

2:45

they been abstinent from

2:48

sex for 24,758 days? Is

2:50

that what the ticker is? I

2:54

doubt it. I doubt it because that would

2:56

be insane. Right. That would be

2:59

a fucking weirdo. That would happen to you.

3:01

Yeah. Nobody as hot as

3:03

you would voluntarily not have

3:05

sex for 30,000 days. But

3:12

anyway, we digress. Listener.

3:15

Welcome to I've Had It. I'm Jennifer.

3:18

I'm Angie. She's all of the things, all of

3:20

the things that I call her and

3:22

more. And Meemaw drag. Just don't

3:24

forget that one. Today we are

3:26

continuing our Sexless

3:28

in the City. Meemaw

3:30

takes Manhattan in person

3:32

interviewing Spree. And

3:36

today we interview our dear friend.

3:39

She is a Grand

3:41

Slam champion in tennis, Renee

3:44

Stubbs, our favorite

3:46

Australian, very favorite, power,

3:48

lessee extraordinaire. Thompson

3:51

I follow her on Instagram and I have to say

3:53

you guys, she

3:56

advertises the gay

3:59

agenda very well. Absolutely.

4:01

And the childless

4:03

woman lifestyle very well. I mean,

4:05

I want to be her. She's

4:07

always going around with cool,

4:10

attractive lesbians. Always. Doing

4:12

cool, attractive lesbian things

4:15

at cool events. And

4:18

I just, I'm very

4:21

envious of her life. Every time I

4:23

see it. And I'm also happy for her because

4:25

there's not, she's such a great person. She's

4:27

so funny. She's a hard worker and she

4:30

is great at her job. Commentating

4:32

tennis. She's fucking phenomenal. Like I even

4:34

feel like I know what's going on

4:36

when I clearly don't. Yes. So, listener,

4:38

you may remember she's been a guest

4:40

on the pod before, but

4:43

she also is an ESPN

4:45

tennis commentator. And

4:47

for those of you listeners that are tennis

4:49

fans, you know immediately who she is. For

4:52

those gay triates that

4:54

are not watching

4:57

tennis, I don't understand what's

4:59

going on with you. It's a fail because

5:01

there are some very hot things

5:03

going on in the tennis world.

5:06

But Renee covered the Olympics

5:08

for NBC and Pumps and I just had

5:11

so much fun watching her. And anytime we go

5:13

to New York, we want to connect

5:15

with Renee. And so here

5:17

is our interview with our best Australian

5:19

friend. Absolutely. Not even assuring

5:21

in question. She our only Australian friend?

5:24

Well, that's irrelevant. That's irrelevant. I

5:26

would like to now play

5:30

our interview with our very best friend

5:34

from Australia, Renee Stebbs.

5:37

Welcome, Patriots and Gay Triates. We

5:39

are here with a little international

5:41

episode. That's right. With our favorite

5:43

Australian on the planet, second time

5:46

on the podcast, Renee Stebbs in

5:48

person this time. I love it.

5:50

I am no longer a virgin

5:53

and I am here in person with you. It's

5:55

very exciting. I'm very excited to actually be face

5:57

to face. Since

6:00

Renee was on the podcast last,

6:02

we've developed a budding friendship. Yes.

6:05

We are tech buddies. Yes. Every

6:07

time I come to New York, we go dine together. Yes. Pumps

6:10

wants Renee to fix her up

6:12

with an Australian man. Yes. Well,

6:15

you are heading there. Okay, so here's the deal. So

6:18

we were gonna go this year and it's my

6:20

son's final year of high school. Oh, you can't.

6:22

And he plays basketball. And he plays basketball. And

6:24

so we were gonna try to condense it down

6:26

and then we thought, let's just punt it to

6:28

2026. Cause we want

6:30

to stay like three weeks. Yeah, that's a good idea.

6:32

The kids are- That's why I didn't have kids. Yeah.

6:35

It's a big problem. Just a pain in

6:37

the ass. A total pain in the ass.

6:39

And they sabotage your schedule. And

6:41

your travel plans. They don't care. No, they

6:44

don't. It's all about them. Totally.

6:47

That's why pets are really a lot

6:49

more conducive to

6:51

having like a very stable relationship. Cause

6:53

they're so excited to see you all

6:56

the time. Yes. And now, I

6:58

mean, listen, I don't have cats. I

7:00

don't have a dog. I am a childless,

7:02

but I will be voting. And

7:05

I know who I'm voting for. And you're, cause you're

7:07

an American citizen. I am. Yes. I'm

7:10

a dual citizen. So that makes me very happy when I get to go

7:12

in there and punch things. Yes. Absolutely.

7:14

Let's get to the matter at hand. Renee, what

7:17

have you had it with? I

7:19

have had it with, I have so many. I think

7:21

I texted you so many. I have your list. I

7:24

have had it with when someone texts

7:26

messages to you and you get it like a

7:28

media, like, oh, yeah, okay. They text

7:30

you and then you think about the question and then you

7:32

answer it and you send them back a text. And

7:35

then there's crickets. It's like, what the

7:37

fuck? You just text me. I just

7:39

text you back. And now you're not texting me

7:42

back. And it wasn't like,

7:44

oh, are you coming tonight? Will I

7:46

see you at seven? Yes, you will.

7:48

Done. That's a normal

7:51

conclusion to the text message conversation.

7:54

But it's, hey,

7:56

what do you think I should do later today

7:58

about going to bed? to this party and you're

8:00

like, well, what if you blah, blah, blah, blah,

8:02

blah, crickets? I'm

8:04

like, what? But I

8:06

mean, we're talking anything. I'm sure there's people out there that go,

8:08

yeah, this happens all the time. It

8:10

does. It kills me. I'm like, you just wrote to me and I

8:13

just wrote back to you. And now you're

8:15

ignoring me or you now are done with

8:18

me. You're leaving me hanging. This

8:20

is what pemps calls it when people big

8:22

time you. Yeah. Yeah. They're big time. So

8:24

tell her what your ex-husband used to do

8:26

all the time. Okay. So he would call

8:29

me to tell me, he

8:31

would call from work when I was home with the kids. He

8:34

would call to tell me he was too

8:36

busy to talk on the phone. And

8:38

I'm like, motherfucker, you called me. Like

8:41

you called me. It

8:43

drove me crazy. I can't even tell you. And

8:45

then what was so funny is when I got

8:48

a divorce, he would do that to

8:50

my kids and I would just be like, okay,

8:52

and hang up. My kids,

8:55

when they were little, they would go, well, then

8:57

why did you call me if you're too busy

8:59

to talk on the phone? And I would just

9:01

be like, fucking a yes. Finally. They can see

9:03

why I divorced this asshole. One

9:06

of very many reasons. But it was a huge

9:08

one. Remember it would drive me crazy. Like

9:11

why are you calling to tell me you're too

9:13

busy? Shut the fuck up. Just don't call. I

9:15

just can't even believe it. Oh, it

9:18

was daily. Well, she would come over to my house all

9:20

the time. We both used to smoke six. And so we'd

9:22

smoke six on my front porch. And her

9:24

phone would start ringing. She'd go, oh, fucking eight.

9:26

It's Kirk. And she'd

9:29

answer the phone. Hello. Okay. If

9:31

you're so busy, then I'm

9:33

busy too. What are you

9:35

doing? Are you with Jennifer? Are

9:37

you smoking cigarettes? Yes.

9:39

Yes, I am. I'm sending

9:42

papers over to you tomorrow.

9:45

We are plotting your demise as we speak. So

9:47

what we call that is when somebody big times

9:49

you, like they texted you, you

9:53

respond and then they big time. They're too

9:55

big for your time. But then they give

9:57

you the thumbs up one, you know, the

9:59

little blip. Yeah. Because that means blip. Good

10:01

done. Got it. Yeah, I do I at

10:03

first I resisted the blip the blip But

10:06

now I feel like it does it finalizes it

10:08

everybody knows we're done I'm kind of into it

10:10

now now I kind of do that little blip

10:12

or the heart or the exclamation point. Okay, the

10:15

ha ha Renee I have a story

10:17

about okay, so last time you were on the

10:19

pod Okay, you talked about airport bathroom. So nobody

10:21

cleans up after themselves. It drives me

10:23

crazy It still kills me. So

10:25

every time I go in an airport bathroom, I think of

10:27

you as I'm cleaning up. So today I'm

10:30

like, oh my gosh, I've got to pee I'm

10:33

sitting there and I noticed they have the drape

a bad day for me so

13:13

on the same flight with the triple

13:16

flush Negligence my little pilot

13:18

how how many stripes did he have

13:21

I couldn't tell I could just see it Like I could

13:23

see the thing open and I could see the hair and

13:25

so when I left when we left and we were looking

13:28

I was looking in and I was like fucking her gross

13:30

is what you are. Did you give him a side? I

13:32

yeah, I was just like so

13:34

this was a 645 a.m. Flight and We're

13:38

seated and it's dark when the flight

13:40

takes off and so everybody has their

13:43

shades down. Yeah Everybody

13:46

except for one one mother Who's

13:49

but I hate that I hate he's across

13:51

the aisle for me and as he opens

13:53

it up He opens it up about halfway.

13:55

It blinds you it's coming

13:58

straight into me and he's just He's

14:00

ducked back like playing solitaire and his

14:02

face is kind of back behind it.

14:05

He's playing solitaire and I chewed him out

14:07

in my brain the

14:09

entire flight. I

14:12

end up putting like clothes over my head. I

14:14

did the same. Can you not

14:16

see me? I had a brochure up. He could have

14:18

given two shit. So when we get off the plane,

14:21

and Pimson knew he was probably about four feet ahead

14:23

of us. I fucking hate

14:25

him. And I want to

14:27

go up to him and pat him on

14:29

the shoulder and say, I talked to everybody

14:32

on the plane and everybody voted that you

14:34

were the least fuckable passenger on this entire

14:36

flight. The pilots, the flight attendant, even everybody

14:38

in the very background. Even that pilot that

14:40

is... It was a unanimous vote and everybody

14:43

thinks you're the worst passenger and the least

14:45

fuckable passenger on this flight. I hope you

14:47

have a great day. He's

14:49

probably a guy that will wear flip-flops on

14:51

a plane. Yeah. And put them up on

14:53

your arm stool. Can he be

14:55

that guy that's sitting next to you that takes

14:57

up the entire arm of the

14:59

seat? Yeah. Instead of like, can

15:02

we share? Yeah. I have to assert my authority

15:04

when somebody over hugs. I always push right back.

15:06

Sometimes it's women too. They're just as bad. I'm

15:09

like, let's have a little... You have

15:11

the front. I have the back. I have the

15:13

back. Yeah. Okay. Let's

15:16

just keep our arms like that. But people that put

15:18

their arms on both sides and don't give a shit

15:20

about you, especially men with fat arms, it's just nasty.

15:22

It is. I agree. I

15:25

might miss. Okay. You actually

15:27

write up on your next list because you travel as much as we

15:29

do. Yeah. Let's

15:31

just talk about people when they

15:33

board the plane. Yeah. Oh,

15:35

fuck. And the problem is just getting on

15:38

the plane. Yeah. Just walk

15:40

us through that. First of all, it's the

15:42

people that don't understand that planes are numbered,

15:44

one, two, whatever, in the back, 40, 50,

15:48

60, depending on the flight. So have an idea

15:51

of what your number is. And it's A, B,

15:53

C, D, E, F,

15:55

G, A. It's the alphabet. Okay. One's

15:58

on one side, one's on the other. And they're

16:00

numbers. And they get on, and

16:02

they're like, what's your number, Peter?

16:05

And what's your number? I'm

16:09

just like, it's keep going. You're 28.

16:12

We're at four. Keep going. Just keep going till

16:14

you get to 20 at least. And

16:17

then no A is on against the window. You

16:19

can see it right there. And then they go,

16:21

I mean, listen, I've accidentally got into an A

16:23

seat at 28A, and I'm

16:25

27 sometimes that happens. We've

16:27

all done that. And I'm not going to be a complete asshole.

16:30

But it's the people that are in 48, and

16:32

they're looking at 10. And they're like,

16:34

how much further, Henry? And then you're on

16:37

the corner. If you're on

16:39

the aisle, I very rarely take the window, because

16:41

I hate being feel like I'm stuck.

16:44

I like being on the aisle. And

16:46

so if I do have to poop number two, I

16:48

can get on. I'm just kidding. You're so fast. I

16:50

cannot drop kids off in a public pool. It's just

16:52

something I cannot do. It's

16:54

desperate measures if I have to poop in a

16:57

public arena. And

16:59

these people that have backpacks on that

17:02

turn and whack you in

17:04

the head, you're like, my

17:07

head is here. You are walking there.

17:09

You turn. You have a lump on your back

17:11

that's the size of a rock, and it has

17:13

now hit me in the head three times. I

17:16

don't get it. Put the backpack in front of you,

17:18

or get it off your back. Or

17:20

don't turn. Take an idea that

17:22

there are actual other people on the plane. So

17:24

get your number right. Get your backpack off your

17:27

back. And if it's on your back, make sure

17:29

it's not hitting everybody in the fucking head. Or

17:31

the lady with the oversized purse just goes, bang,

17:33

bang, bang, bang. Oh, and I

17:36

didn't even think about this one. Just

17:39

worked out. I'm looking at you people out there. If

17:42

you get out of your chair, my

17:44

chair in front of you is

17:46

not your chair. It is also not

17:49

your rail to use to get up. Your

17:55

chair, like this chair, you're

17:57

able to grab your chair

17:59

and push. off your chair and

18:01

get up and walk instead of grabbing

18:03

my chair and my hair and pulling

18:06

me back like this and then getting

18:09

up. So I'm like, I could be

18:11

dozing, having a nice little sleep

18:13

and all of a sudden, boom, I

18:15

know, motherfucker. It is not your

18:17

chair. That's my chair. I,

18:20

please. Air travel is my feel. Clean your

18:22

toilet. Walk

18:26

down the aisle without hitting everybody. And

18:28

most importantly, don't grab my fucking

18:30

chair in front of you. Thank

18:32

you. Listen,

18:36

this may come as a total shock

18:38

to you, but Pumps and I have

18:40

not always been this pulled together and

18:42

rock solid. In fact, we

18:44

used to be rather screwed

18:46

up when you say Pumps. I would say

18:48

damn near psychotic. Totally. We

18:51

have written a cell

18:53

phone expose. One

18:56

could even say it's a manifesto. And

18:58

the book title is Life is

19:01

Lazy Susan of Shit Sandwiches. And

19:03

all sincerity. We share a lot

19:05

of our struggles that

19:07

led us to this grand

19:09

stage where we can talk about

19:11

petty grievances. You can click

19:23

know, Pumps, my favorite time of

the year is when the crisp

19:27

air starts rolling in. You

19:30

can like feel the leaves

19:32

crunching with your boots, but

19:35

nothing is better than

19:37

slipping on a Mongolian

19:39

cashmere sweater from Quince.

19:42

I have been pulling my cashmere sweater

19:44

hoodie from Quince and wearing

19:47

it around the house trying to

19:49

push through to fall. They also

19:51

have beautiful leather jackets, cotton cardigans,

19:53

soft denim, and so much more.

19:55

And Quince only works with factories

19:58

your first bidet order at

hello tushy.com with the promo

21:31

code had it. We

21:35

think there needs to be a rating system for

21:38

travelers. Yes. Where a TSA rates you

21:40

the flight attendants rate you fellow

21:43

passengers rate you like uber and if you

21:45

have if you have a high we should

21:47

start an airline. I think exactly about uber

21:49

airlines exactly if you have five stars you

21:52

get to board early you get all the

21:54

extra space you can sit in the front

21:57

of the plane. And then I

21:59

think then then I think you have planes that are

22:01

just for the one and two stars. This is the

22:03

nightmare flight. They can travel together. They can take all

22:05

their shit out of their pocket one at a time

22:07

as they go through security. Let them have it. I

22:09

don't want to shame people that are overweight. But

22:12

honestly, if I'm sitting next to you

22:14

and you're in half of my seat, that's not fair.

22:17

I agree. It's not fair. Okay,

22:20

let's talk about then you get through and you're

22:23

going to get your bag. Yeah. You've texted

22:25

me multiple times and

22:27

said, remind me the next time I'm on your

22:30

podcast to talk about this. So here's your moment.

22:32

So I'm basically giving a PSA for everybody out

22:34

there on travel. And don't be an asshole. When

22:37

you get off the plane after behaving yourself, not

22:39

touching my chair, not hitting me in the head

22:41

with your backpack, counting your steps back to the

22:43

seat you're supposed to be in, when you get

22:45

off the plane and you go to baggage claim,

22:48

you know what your bag looks like.

22:51

Yeah. Okay. So we

22:53

all know what our bad looks like. Some may look

22:55

the same. I have taken the wrong bag from time

22:57

to time. So also check that your name's on your

22:59

bag before you leave and get into an

23:02

Uber or a taxi. Secondly,

23:04

when the bag is coming off, then you

23:07

walk up to get your

23:09

bag off the belt. Until that

23:11

moment, stand the

23:13

motherfucking far back from

23:15

the baggage claim so everybody can see

23:18

their bags. There is nothing more infuriating

23:20

than having, especially an international flight where

23:22

there's like 300 people,

23:24

there's 6,000 bags, and they're

23:26

all going around and everyone is standing over the

23:28

top of the thing. And you're like looking because

23:30

you can't find your bag because everyone's standing in

23:33

front of you. So as somebody

23:35

who traveled for a living, and

23:37

I always had really, really big bags because we had so

23:39

much shit with us when I was on the tennis tour.

23:42

And so I would see my massive big

23:44

Toomey bag coming around the corner.

23:47

And I walked up there and let me tell

23:49

you, people lost kneecaps. You

23:52

took them out. I ripped that bag off

23:54

there. And if any person, and I didn't

23:56

care if they were five, because if you're

23:58

a parent, that allows

24:00

your five-year-old kid to stand anywhere near that belt,

24:02

your kid's going down as well. I would rip

24:04

it off there and if anyone was close to

24:06

it, and then sometimes they'd be

24:08

like, oh my God. And I was like, you don't

24:11

need to be standing there. Your bag is not coming off.

24:13

Back off. Have you seen these? Imagine

24:15

how stressed I am. This is why I had to

24:18

meditate. I literally would go home after travel day and

24:20

be like, get

24:22

in the cab on back to back home

24:24

and just like, decide I didn't have

24:26

to deal with the mental stress that I had to deal

24:29

with. I don't understand it. You can see your bag. Just

24:31

step back. Traveling brings out

24:33

the worst. It's like the people that crowd

24:35

the boarding gate. It

24:38

says boarding group one and 75

24:41

people from group five gets closer to things. I

24:43

don't understand that. I was so mad when we

24:45

were coming back from, we were in Rome and

24:48

we were all standing there to board. This

24:50

guy that is standing right next to me, he has

24:52

number eight on his thing. He's an eight.

24:54

I can see it. And he bangs

24:56

through everyone. And here's what I wanted.

24:58

I wanted the flight attendant to say,

25:01

I'm sorry, you're boarding group eight. You're going

25:03

to have to go back. Like I wanted

25:05

him to be sent back, but she didn't.

25:08

And I thought that that's why it keeps

25:10

happening because they don't just say boundaries. No,

25:12

you have to go back. You're I'm telling

25:14

you, we need people that are, have a

25:16

whistle and like

25:19

an empire shirt at the gates. Yes.

25:22

Violation to the back of the line. I

25:24

mean, it would really straighten things up. What

25:27

was that show? It was Seinfeld. It was in

25:29

a Seinfeld where he's like, he was the only

25:31

person in the lounge, remember, waiting for the flight.

25:34

They're like, group one. And he's like, he was

25:36

like group six or whatever. And there was no

25:38

one there. And they're like, group two.

25:40

And he's like, like

25:43

group three. And he's like, pretty fucking sure

25:45

I'm the only one getting on the flight. And

25:47

finally got to him and he goes, okay, go on. So

25:49

there are people who do make fun of it because it

25:51

is kind of funny. But also I'm thinking why not also

25:55

load the back of the plane first? Agree. I

25:58

agree with that. Australia does that

26:01

a little bit better. Yeah, that's brilliant. Yeah,

26:04

it's just unnecessary stupidity. You're welcome. You're

26:06

welcome We're gonna change the travel I

26:09

think we could the three of us we

26:12

could get rid of LaGuardia maybe tomorrow morning

26:15

Knock it out get some with a whistle get it with a

26:17

whistle Right. Yeah, we

26:19

go you could bring out your

26:21

ESPN commentator voice, right? We've

26:23

got we've got somebody standing too close too close over

26:25

here too close to the line people going through TSA

26:28

They haven't taken the computer out of the bag. They

26:30

haven't taken they go back to the line back to

26:32

the back of the line Me

26:36

let's talk about how fun was it for

26:38

you to cover the Olympics? We watched it.

26:40

You were great Thank you, ma'am You were

26:42

so good and it was I

26:44

was so happy every day when I turned

26:46

on the Olympic tennis And you

26:48

were like the Queen anchor. Yeah, I made one so

26:51

happy and I'm just gonna say this I

26:53

think you're the best female I Think

26:56

I'm gonna say female. I think you're one of

26:58

the best ten men tennis He's

27:01

a ten man tennis commentators out

27:04

there. You're funny Thank you And I learned something

27:06

insightful insightful if they would just put a little

27:08

bit more top spin on it It would curl

27:11

in and then all of a sudden the player

27:13

starts in here like called it called it. Yeah.

27:15

Well, thank you I do appreciate that fun. Um,

27:18

yeah, I loved it. I mean listen I

27:20

was calling the beautiful Paris Olympics in

27:22

a beautiful studio in Connecticut So

27:25

it wasn't a belief. It wasn't as fancy. I know

27:27

it sucks. But you know NBC saves a lot of

27:29

money by housing us

27:31

all in Connecticut and having us call out

27:33

of booths that are as Sexy

27:36

as like you're really bad closet you had as

27:39

a teenager And

27:41

so but I had such FOMO of of Paris

27:43

that I got on a plane and went over

27:45

there for 48 hours She

27:47

take it for you. Yeah, I was

27:49

that women's Australian. Yeah, so Australia My

27:52

friend Sandy Brondello who's the coach of the New York

27:54

Liberty here in New York as well she's

27:57

the coach of the Australian women's basketball national

27:59

team and And we were in the semi-finals

28:01

again. I went over, I was

28:03

supposed to go over for three days, and I

28:05

got on the tarmac in Newark, speaking of travel

28:07

nightmares. And I could see

28:09

this crazy storm coming up the coast.

28:11

And I was like, we got to get out of

28:13

here now. It's coming up. And

28:16

I was like, they were canceling flights to Toronto and Canada next to

28:18

me. And I was like, we got to get on the plane. We

28:20

got to get out of here. I was going for three days. I'd

28:22

already paid for my Airbnb. And

28:24

we get on the flight. They load us on, and

28:27

we're like, hurry up, get to your seat. Sit down,

28:29

pull the plane back. We get out on the tarmac.

28:31

We get out of the tarmac. Engines

28:33

go off. Three hours later, they go back to the

28:35

thing, and they cancel my flight. I was like, fucking

28:37

hell. So I didn't think I was going to go.

28:39

And then Sandy's like, come on, come. We're playing the

28:41

US in the semi. I've got your tickets. Let's go.

28:43

So I was like, fuck it. I already paid for

28:45

my Airbnb. So I took the same flight the next

28:47

day. And I got

28:49

in, and I got to watch USA Australia.

28:51

And Ozzy's got crushed. But that's

28:53

OK, because no one's been in the US in basketball.

28:56

And then I got to watch the beach

28:58

volleyball. Australia played Brazil. I saw

29:01

you do that. And that was the coolest video. My

29:03

god. It was amazing. I've been to Paris 100 times.

29:06

And I got to tell you, the Olympics there was outstanding.

29:09

It was so beautiful, the setups

29:11

of everything. I thought

29:13

it when I went when Paris got the Olympics, I

29:15

was like, where are they going to have everything? Like,

29:17

there's not a lot of room in Paris. It's very

29:19

busy. It's very congested. And it's small. And it's small.

29:22

Yeah. And it was like they put everything along the

29:24

river, along the river Seine, because

29:26

you have those beautiful walkways and from the

29:28

Place de la Concorde, from the Arc de

29:30

Triomphe, all the way down there. And you

29:32

don't realize how much actual space there is.

29:35

At the Louvre. It's so big

29:37

and expansive. That's where they had that floating

29:39

torch. So

29:41

it was just incredible. I'm so glad I went

29:43

for the two days. And then I flew back.

29:45

And I got back into working Cincinnati and then

29:48

the US Open. But it was so worth going

29:50

to. And I've said, please, Paris, put your name

29:52

up for another Olympics. Because, honestly. And they had

29:54

all the infrastructure. They had Roland Garros for tennis.

29:56

And then they used Roland Garros for boxing the

29:58

second week. So. female

38:00

president, she deserved it. But

38:02

then she's, I'm just reading her book actually,

38:05

and she spoke about standing on the shoulders

38:07

of the Shirley Chisholm's and all the people

38:09

that have come before her. And Shirley

38:11

was such an incredible, just

38:14

beacon of hope for women

38:16

to run for public

38:18

office the way she did. And

38:20

then Hillary came along and just took all of

38:22

that shit that was thrown at her. And she

38:24

is, honestly, have you guys met her yet?

38:26

I have. I have not. She's the

38:28

finest, nicest person. She's a little bitty. She's

38:31

incredibly warm and engaging and so personable.

38:33

She's so nice. And down to earth,

38:35

like an immediate connection. My friends are

38:37

looking for a place upstate and she

38:40

goes, oh, you got to give my

38:42

realtor. Her name's Muffin. I'm like, is

38:45

this person real? Like she was like, yeah, she's

38:47

great. She's engaging. She's just so, she was so

38:49

nice. But so I thought about that. And then

38:52

sitting across from her when she was talking, I was like,

38:54

God damn it. Like she should have been ending

38:56

her second run

38:59

as president right now to hand the baton

39:01

over maybe to Kamala. And

39:03

then I thought, no, she would also be the

39:05

type of person that would sit back and go

39:07

just like Shirley. I had to take the

39:10

seat. I had to put the stairs in

39:12

place for Kamala to walk up on them

39:15

and ascend to the top office.

39:18

And so I just think maybe, maybe

39:20

that's one of the reasons why I really

39:23

feel like Kamala is going to win because

39:25

I just feel like all those incredible women

39:27

that have come before her have got her

39:29

into this position now of being

39:32

vice president for the first female and

39:34

now ascending to the top of the

39:36

ticket. So I'm here for it.

39:38

I met Kamala very briefly. You guys have interviewed

39:40

her and I'm sure you think she's awesome. I

39:42

met her very briefly with Senator Gillibrand in LA

39:45

when she was running for Senate actually. And

39:47

Kirsten was out there fundraising because they have

39:50

to all fucking fundraise. Yeah. Because

39:52

if you don't fundraise, you can't win, which

39:54

is a joke. But yeah,

39:56

I met her really briefly out there and she's

39:58

just such an impressive human being. And

40:00

for someone like that orange-headed,

40:04

nasty, gross, disgusting

40:07

man to say

40:09

that she's mentally disabled, you

40:11

have problems. You really

40:13

have a problem. I don't care how much

40:16

you want to win or how much you want to

40:18

stay out of jail and all that sort of. To

40:20

call one of the most accomplished women in the country,

40:22

in the world, mentally

40:24

disabled. First of

40:27

all, that's so disgraceful

40:29

for people that have

40:31

mental disabilities. That's so

40:33

disgusting. And second of all,

40:35

to call one of the most accomplished women

40:37

who's incredibly bright, a mentally disabled, you are

40:39

fucking, you're just not a human

40:42

being. He is a terrible human being. And

40:44

it doesn't just stop there, right? There are

40:47

millions of people that will vote for him.

40:49

He's already made fun of disabled people. Right.

40:52

Anytime someone writes something to me or has

40:54

a go at me about supporting Kamala and

40:57

they say something about Trump, I'm like, this is

41:00

a man who made fun of disabled people, made

41:03

fun of immigrants, really

41:05

incredible people. He's

41:08

made fun of war veterans. He's

41:11

made fun of anyone that doesn't look like him.

41:13

He's made fun of people chanting,

41:16

Jews will not replace us. So he's essentially

41:18

not supporting the Jewish people

41:21

by saying, you're OK with that.

41:24

Like there's so many things. And I just go,

41:26

I don't care. Inflation is

41:29

worldwide. Australia is

41:31

our gas prices are out of control in Australia. If

41:34

you go fill up your car in Australia, I tell

41:36

people this. I told one of this guy that used

41:38

to drive me at the US Open and I think

41:40

he might be somebody that would probably vote for Trump.

41:42

But he's just that typical like guy that works hard

41:45

and he lives on Staten Island, which is very Trumpy.

41:48

And I just happened to slip in. I was like, you

41:50

know, prices in Australia. If I filled

41:52

this car up in Australia, it would cost me one hundred and sixty

41:54

dollars. He goes, what? And I go, yeah,

41:56

it's so expensive. I said, if you. I

41:58

was just like two dollars a liter. You
