What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Mr. Minister of Budget, what kind of signs do you see in the air at the moment? No signs at all. Instead, I see amazing signs on the streets, on the streets, on the slopes, wherever and on the ground. What are you talking about? Not about anything, but about Budgesport's winter season. I mean, what? Whatever, all the signs are coming from there. We're offering the best signs with a 60% discount.
All right, listen, patriots, gay triots, they triots, black triots, brown triots, aka I hipsters, aka I've had it listeners. Jon Favreau, co-host of Pod Save America, joins us on today's episode. And I'm just here to tell you. It is an amazing episode where we discuss all of the MAGA fuckery. But each week on their podcast over at Pod Save America, former Obama aides John Favreau, Tommy Vitor, John Leavitt and Dan Pfeiffer deliver no bullshit takes on the news with just enough humor to keep us all sane. You'll hear an honest, in-depth conversation with major voices in politics, media, and culture. We have had three out of the four on the podcast on I've Had It Here, and we will not stop until we get the fourth.
Dan Pfeiffer, we're coming for you. New episodes drop every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. Watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Ready? One, two, three.
Who is the guest Jon Favreau and why is he on this episode?
Patriots, gay-triots, they-triots, black-triots, brown-triots, and the people that are mean to those people can do what, Pam? Suck off! That's right. Okay, listen, it's a big day. Finally, okay, you guys have heard of Pod Save America, and we've had two of the three hosts on, and we're finally, our white whale, we're finally, we've finally got the one that was hard to get.
Best for last.
John Favreau, welcome to I've Had It.
Thanks for having me.
It's America's top DEI podcast.
I know. I'm aware. I enjoy it very much.
We're all a New York City listener. And so it was just like a last minute podcast for democracy.
Yeah. Just, you know, good two hours from JFK in traffic.
Yeah.
Yeah, that sucks.
I live in Los Angeles. I got to say, this city, the traffic is nothing in Los Angeles compared to this.
We took the subway here from my apartment.
It was 11 minutes.
11 minutes.
Well, just wait on the free buses.
I know. Exactly. Exactly. All right. What we'd like to do is go around the table and everybody share what they've had it with. And I feel like yours are going to be political. So we're going to start with Pumps first. We'll end with you. So Pumps, what have you had it with? Not political. Not political. John's can be political.
Okay. What I've had it with is when you go to a restaurant and they say it's family style. It's like I want my own food. If somebody else wants a bite, that's fine. But I don't want to have to share. I want to order what I want to order. I don't want everybody to have to agree because when everybody has to agree, it takes forever. And it's just, why are we insisting on family style for everything? I think sharing is so overrated. I hate sharing.
Democracy, good for a government, bad for a restaurant.
What are your thoughts on that? Do you like a family style, John?
It just takes extra time because then everyone is like, all right, what do we all want to share? And then someone doesn't want this. And then you're like, okay, well, you two want this and you three want that. It's just a lot of, it's a pain in the ass.
Makes it harder. It makes it take longer. I like to dine and dash.
That doesn't do well for me. OK, I don't know if mine is a grievance, but I've been dying to talk to somebody about this. I haven't told you yet. And I want to talk about on the pod. So over Thanksgiving break, went home to Oklahoma City, went to an Oklahoma City Thunder game, having a great time. Our team is fucking awesome. Love them. So we're like sitting in the lower bowl. It's my husband, my two sons, and me. It's like family bond-a-rama, right? We're winning. Shea Gilligas, Alexander, shooting threes. And then all of a sudden, this German guy on our team gets in a fight. What's his name, the German? Oh, Hartenstein. I'd say Hartenstein.
