Who are the hosts of America's Top DEI Podcast?
Ready? One, two, three. Patriots, gay-triots, black-triots, non-MAGA-triots. Fuck off! Pumps is back. She's back. She's better never. I'm sure you have some grievances you're ready to share with our listener.
Why is small talk so frustrating according to Angie?
Okay, I'll tell you what my grievance is. I have had it with small talk. There is nothing more miserable than having to make small talk with people that you don't know, that don't care about what you're saying. You don't care what you're saying. It is so miserable. Like when I walked into a place Friday night for parents weekend and there were like 60 people. And I just was like, I can't do it. I think I stayed for five minutes, talked to three people that I knew and left because I'm like, small talk just makes me insane. I just want to go insane when I think I have to small talk.
I have a question for you. What? Why do you engage in it so frequently when we're together with strangers? Well... Is it to torture me? It's to torture you.
No, I mean, that would make more sense. That would be a side benefit to torture you. I don't realize I'm doing it. It overwhelms me when I go into a room and there's like... 50 people that I'm kind of supposed to know, that our kids are doing the same thing, but I don't know. And I just, I start panicking. I'm just like, I don't want to do this.
100%. I mean, the other day we were just in the parking lot in front of the studio and a girl walks up. And next thing I know, we're 25 questions deep into her child support hearings. Yeah.
Part of my problem is I'm nosy.
Yeah.
I mean, that's part of it. But I have to tell you this story. Okay. You're going to die. Okay. So we go to dinner with all the parents from Emily's friends. And halfway through the dinner, Emily grabs me by the leg and she looks at me and she goes... Everyone at this table is on suicide watch because you will not quit talking about the dog. And I realized all I was doing was talking about my French bulldog. And even after she told me, I knew she was right. I knew everybody was on suicide watch. I knew they all wanted me to shut the fuck up. I couldn't. I just kept talking about how cute he was. I was passing my phone around. But, yeah, I mean, halfway through the dinner, she's like, stop.
How does Jennifer handle criticism and toxic positivity?
And I couldn't stop. I recently did something like this, and I realized, like, mid-story what a grave error I had made. So I pulled up to the tennis center, and the head pro was like, hey, I like your car. He's a British guy. And I proceeded to tell him – The car I had before that, I was in a massive hailstorm that pummeled it, broke the windshield, had all this body damage. Another basketball mom I was with threw up in the car and I no longer wanted the car. And as I'm into all of these details, like all I had to say when he said, I like your car is thanks. Thank you. How are you today? But I volunteered all of this boring stuff. irrelevant information. And it was only halfway through that I realized I'm not taking into account his feelings to hear this.
So I wrapped it up pretty quickly. And, you know, it's just awful. Though I have a new story to tell you. So yesterday I was at my tennis lesson. And I was playing awful. I mean, awful. It was just mental. I couldn't hit the ball. My timing was off. Everything was off. And I could just tell Jeff had had it with me. I mean, I'm bitching after every point. He's just crushing me. And so he finally is just disgusted. He cannot take it anymore. And he walks up to the net and he goes... Maybe if you're not going to hit any balls with any pace on him, maybe you should try to hit them away from me instead of just hitting me softballs the whole hour, Jennifer. And just shamed you. Just totally. And you know what? He was 100% right. It was like the pep talk that I needed.
And it reminded me that there is this movement that we oppose, this toxic positivity movement where people want to be praised all the time. And if Jeff had just continued to tell me, good shot, good shot, how does that help me? How does that help anyone? It just feeds this ridiculous, non-deserved ego that I have about being an athlete, right? It just would feed the worst parts of me.
