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
10:35
covered. So the pilot is in the bathroom Okay,
10:39

11:07
pilot I don't feel safe if
11:09
he can't do any better in the bathroom The
11:12
whole time I was like I cannot wait To

13:10
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

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,

soft denim, and so much more.
19:55

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
