Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
So are we supposed to start the podcast? Ready? One, two, three. Patriots, gay-triots, they-triots, black-triots, brown-triots, we love you. Triple Trumpers can do what, Pumps? Fuck off! Pumps, what have you had it with?
Okay, what I've had it with is when people come to your house to drop something off, like it was mailed to them by mistake, and instead of just leaving it on your porch... or leaving it in your mailbox, they ring the doorbell, which gets my entire house of dogs going. And then they want to fucking chitchat. I was kidnapped and held hostage by a super sweet neighbor that is a good neighbor.
for 20 minutes going on and on about this and that. It was just gross small talk in my house with my dogs going crazy. And I was just like, I am such a gracious neighbor. When something comes to somebody else's house, I just put it in their mailbox or just put it on their porch. I don't think we have to be like best girlfriends over it.
Chapter 2: What do Jen and Pumps have to say about annoying neighbor interactions?
That's the worst. The worst. That is the worst because your dogs kind of hacked you out like by barking and they know that you're home. Yeah. Yeah. So what were y'all talking about? What was 20 minutes? What were y'all talking about?
Oh, just like her new planting, which here's the deal. I kill every single plant that I've ever been given or tried to plant. So I have zero ability to have a conversation about planting. I mean, it's just nothing. She just met up on the fly? She's just like, I've been planning? Or did you ask her? She's like, have you planted your spring flowers yet?
And I said, well, my guy asked me and I just said, I kill everything. So we're just going to keep, we're just going to stay the course on what we have. And she was like, oh, you should try Yakety Yak. Of course, I don't remember the names because I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. I kill everything. So it doesn't matter how sturdy it is or how immune to not being tended it is. I will kill it.
And it just went on like, well, what are your favorite flowers? And I'm just like, I'm on suicide watch.
Yeah. No, that's, it's, and here's the thing. Here's what you just did. You have a stray cat as a neighbor and you fed that cat for 20 minutes and now the cat will come back for more food. That's the problem. I fear she's going to bring me a potted plant. To kill. Maybe a little bonsai tree. Okay. So let me tell you what I've had it with.
Okay.
I have had it with there being no holiday for non-religious people. So, for example, you know, we just had Easter weekend and Passover. And everybody's bleeding a lot of days out of this thing. I mean, there is a lot going on. bleeding out of days, the amount of emails I'm sending out and it's a kickback email, we're closed for Passover, we're closed for Easter.
They're bleeding out, I'm talking five, six, seven, eight, nine days on this thing. It's holiday abuse on top of the fact that we non-believers, secular people, atheists, agnostic, flying spaghetti monster, what have you. We don't get anything because I want the luxury of being able to say, oh, here's the deal. Sorry, I didn't get your email.
I'm having an extended flying spaghetti monster celebration week. I want the luxury of piling on extra days of not working. And the Christians have it. The Muslims have it. Jewish faith has it. We don't get jack shit. We don't get anything here. Yeah.

Chapter 3: How do Jen and Pumps feel about holiday discrimination for non-religious people?
Yes. Yes. All right, Kylie, how are you? I'm good. How are you guys? Excellent.
Fantastic. I've got a couple reviews for you. This one is five stars titled Laughter and Commiseration. And JB writes, new Gaytriot listener here. In a moment that feels like it's being directed by a committee of caffeinated raccoons, your work isn't just entertaining, it's necessary. The perspective is razor sharp. The insight actually sticks and the humor hits like a well-aimed drink toss.
So thank you. Truly. Out here surrounded by MAGA knuckle-draggers and conspiracy hobbyists, this podcast feels like a small, defiant island of sanity. One gay man listening, laughing, and thinking, okay, maybe I'm not the crazy one after all.
I'll tell you what, to J.B. Collins there, the conspiracy hobbyist, that's a really good. But you know what happened this week with the conspiracy hobbyist, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, they were all calling for the 25th Amendment. I was shocked as shit. I mean, they dropped him like you wouldn't believe.
Yeah.
I was surprised how quickly the worm turned on all that on the 25th. But to be fair, the behavior is so outrageous. You would almost think something was wrong if you weren't calling for the 25th Amendment. I'm more concerned about the people that weren't calling for the 25th Amendment.
Yeah, I still was pretty shocked at the roll call that I just did. I mean, these are the – really hardcore, like triple Trumpers. And I think they're probably seeing number one, all the dementia. Uh, but oh my God, Trump, that was just whiplash out the wazoo. And this is one that I'm really happy that he taco'd on, you know, that he chickened out.
I'm, I'm grateful that he chickened out because he was calling for the, uh, genocide of Iranians. And here's my thing. So I told you guys about a couple of weeks ago that I was walking down to Washington Square Park to go to the John F. Kennedy Jr. Lookalike Contest. That's why I wanted to go to that is another episode for another day.
But nonetheless, as I'm walking down, there were all of the... There was a protest and I was like, oh, I want to go join it. And then as I approached the protest, it was like... Iranian flags with huge pictures of Donald Trump. Thank you, President Trump. Make Iran great again.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Easter Monday and holiday abuse?

Go to qince.com slash had it for free shipping and 365-day returns. Had it. Okay, now I have a new story I would like to share. Kylie, pop this up. Okay, this I thought, you know, sometimes really great stuff comes across your feed.
A documentary about a group of dads fighting to protect their trans kids just premiered at South by Southwest, executive produced by Dwayne Wade. And he's that basketball player, retired now, but he's the one who won all of those with LeBron, right? Yes, in Miami. I think he's in the Hall of Fame. If not, he will be. Okay. It's called The Dads.
It's based on the Emmy-winning short documentary and comes at a critical time in U.S. history. Trans kids deserve safety, love, and support. The dads are fighting to make sure they have it.
As anti-trans legislation and hostility escalate in the United States, The Dads documents a group of dads building a movement to support their trans and gender expansive kids while facing an impossible choice, stay and fight or leave the country. The Dads also offers a timely counter narrative around fatherhood, and masculinity.
This to me is the most important part here, one of the most important messages right now. In the documentary, the dads share their vulnerabilities and question what they've been taught about gender and themselves. The film's Emmy-winning director,
Lucina Fisher said, in a time of political division, isolation, and misinformation, the dads shift the narrative away from what divides us to what brings us all together, love, connection, and community. And last slide, this is fatherhood as an act of a radical love of and resistance. That last slide sounds kind of Jesus-y to me. The Jesus character in the Bible, radical empath, radical love.
And I just think this is so beautiful that these dads are doing this because regardless of how many laws these politicians make, trans people are going to exist. The suicide rate among this group is astronomically high. And to see these dads, they have a choice, unconditional love and support, radical love, or be dicks like so many people are.
Not only are they choosing radical love, but they are putting themselves out there as real men. This is true, unconditional love. love from a father. And so many of you that might be listening are trans or you might have trans friends. and or acquaintances. And this is not a time to see this community as a political liability and throw them under the bus.
It is a time to advocate and platform for these people. And I just think this group of dads is exactly what I needed in this crazy news week to know that they Love their children unconditionally. They don't give a fuck who knows it. And they made a documentary to say, fuck you. We love our kids radically, unconditionally. Judge us all you want to. You're not changing us.
