Chapter 1: What are the latest grievances regarding political figures?
Speaking of passports, why don't you update us on Caitlyn Jenner's? Darling, denied. Says, you know, I got in this big fight with Cory Booker on the podcast.
Honey, I'm done with her. Why is the quality of life so bad? Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Peppermint.
Cheers.
Cheers. Ready? One, two, three. Patriots, gay triots, they triots, black triots, brown triots, we love you. Anybody who still supports this dipshit running the country can do what, Pumps? Fuck off! I like it.
Pams, what have you had it with? Okay, what I've had it with, and we know that I'm on the struggle bus when it comes to buying on the internet. But what I've taken to doing is reading the reviews, which I thought was smart. And then I got two products recently from a company I never bought anything for. And I read the reviews and it was like, oh my gosh, these are, it's the best fabric.
You will love these. Just wah, wah, wah, wah. Fucking the worst things on the planet that I just simply picked them up and put them back in the thing to return them. That's how bad they were. What were they? I just threw away because I didn't even know where the return slip was. Tell us what you bought. This, okay, it's like a bathing suit cover up. Okay. And it was super cute.
It looked like seersucker, like a little, like, looks like a shirt, but it goes all the way down. It's like printed on material. It's so bad. So I've had it with the line reviews, and then it occurred to me, are these AI reviews bots? Is it like fake? They're cooking the books. Is that right?
Yeah, they're cooking the books.

Chapter 2: How do personal experiences shape views on online shopping?
But do you remember telling our kids and our friends, hey, will you give us five stars and write us a review?
We're assholes too.
Yeah.
Yeah. I know I'm an asshole. I'm not even debating that point, but I'm just like, if you don't know anything about a company and you see all these, the quality is outstanding reviews and you get like the grossest of the gross. And then another one had a ruffle that wasn't in the picture on this bathing suit coverup. Where was the ruffle? Like right at the waist, like it was a drop waist.
A ruffle at the waist? Yeah. no it wasn't a ruffle it was like a trim but it was like just pointy triangles like a flag you would put but it was like portage pointy triangles and i just thought no one would ever buy this if it was real. And I thought about, well, do I take it to the tailor? And I thought I spent $28 on it. I'd spent 5,000 times more than that altering it. And I just chunked it.
I was just like, fucking I've had it. Had it.
Yeah. Yeah. It's hard. It's hard to navigate the internet. All right. I've had it with mission statements. Such a great one. I mean, a sock in it. If you're a company and you have a fucking mission statement, shut up. I don't want to buy anything from you. I don't want anything to do with you.
If you talk about your mission statement a lot, if when you're presenting your services or your product to people and you're like, well, our mission statement here and I've had it is to make sure we call every motherfucker an asshole. Yeah. So nobody, a mission statement is a made up thing. It is, it is, it is a bullshit disguise.
I guarantee you that company that you bought that, that swimsuit cover up, I bet they got a mission statement. Oh, I'm sure they do. It's a red flag. Find us some mission statements that are stupid.

Chapter 3: What issues do trans people face in today's political climate?
For decades. Do we also want to talk about something else you were right about? Something you have told me for 25 years. Okay. Since the beginning of time. Jennifer Welch has set beginning of Facebook for sure. That's when you made me a Facebook. So this is literally 25 years ago. Yeah. We would follow couples that had their internet love story. I love you. You're the best. Yeah.
And she has said right from jump. I mean, day one of Facebook, if couples are telling you how much they love each other on the internet, it's a disaster. They're screeching towards divorce.
Yeah.
Do you want to take it from here or do you want me to do it? Because you're a better storyteller than I am.
Well, I'll take over because I do like to bask in being right. So I noticed this a while back. There's two degrees of this. There are the people that are advertising on Facebook like, I love my man. My man made me pancakes this morning. Okay. And then their friends are like, oh my God, you're so lucky that your man is such a good man, blah, blah.
And then there's the couples who communicate with each other on Facebook, which I say is a five alarm fire. So then you have the guy that would chime into this post, anything for my woman. baby, you do me so good. I love those pancakes. You made them special and hot just for your mom. And he's like, yeah, that's what daddy always does. And then other people are participating with it.
And I'm watching this thing when Facebook first came out and I'm like, somebody's fucking around. Somebody's fucking around there. All of this is for an audience. And so this couple that pumps and I have been investigating for, uh, I don't know, close to 10 years? Yeah, 10 years. And it was, I mean, every post was... And they had nicknames for each other.
And every post, it's like, my pumpkin, and I'm going to keep the real nickname anonymous. But it's like, my pumpkin just does everything for me. It's the love of my life. And I'm talking paragraph long, very Trumpian style with sometimes cap locks, sometimes not, runaway punctuation. Emojis. And I said, when this first happened, I said to pumps, I said, it might be high times right now.
It might be cocaine and fantastic sex, but they're going to come off of this thing. And it's going to be a stage five meltdown of a divorce because there's no way people that online like this, that are that fucking crazy online have a real civil divorce. Not that civil divorces are that common, but you hear about them. And so we had dropped the bag on this for quite some time.

Chapter 4: Why are mission statements seen as problematic by some?
Hi. I've got a mission statement for you. I'm going to see if you can guess the company. Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Our mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.
Turning point.
Turning point. Okay, one more. Okay. Our deepest purpose as an organization is helping support the health, well-being, and healing of both people, customers, team members, and business organizations in general, and the planet. What company? Amazon. Whole Foods.
Close. Exactly. These companies, I want to start an anti-mission statement also. I am up to my eyeballs on these pop-ups online. Oh yeah. I go into a website where I want to buy something, right? So I go in and I see the item about to click on it. And then the pop-up comes, join our club, send us your email, your STD results, your blood type, your, you know, your sign.
And I'm just like, fuck you. You know, they want all this information from you and all you're wanting to do is spend money, but that's not enough. Giving these people money isn't enough. They want all the fucking dirt on you. So lo and behold, you get through the pop-up. You get past that barrier. I'm like, I don't want to join the club. I'll pay money to not join the club.
I'll pay money to not receive emails because I oppose email terrorism as much as I do these mission statements. And then you buy the thing and I'm like, they better fucking not email me anything other than the receipt. And then it's just, you're just terrorized in your email box. And the amount of anger that, that I feel during the day navigating the internet is overwhelming.
That's why I'm really grateful for these emotionally unstable, crazy people that advertise online because it makes me feel like a better person. Their insanity makes me think, at least I'm not that person. But as I say that, I realize I'm a total hypocrite because this entire podcast is online. And our haters, as well as some of our lovers,

Chapter 5: What is the significance of Pride Month celebrations?
Excellent work.
I'm reporting you to HR. You live with HR. Yeah. I've got the N on HR.
Yeah. HR happens to be Kylie's girlfriend, Anna, I hired to be my assistant. And I also put her in charge of the HR department here at I've Had a Podcast. And her first day as the HR director of I've Had a Podcast, she wore a black sheer shirt and over the boobs were two hands that weren't sheer. And she goes, hi, what do you think about my new HR shirt? And I thought, that is perfect.
That's the exact kind of leadership I want in my HR department. And I want our mission statement to say, we dismantle mission statements. Fuck your mission statement. Fuck you if you came here and you thought we would actually have a mission statement. Never listen to our podcast again.
Ever. I remember that morning that she was HR and she was getting dressed for her HR position. And she came out, didn't even acknowledge the shirt at first, but it's just, like you said, sheer, two hands over the tits. And she said, since I'm HR, should I wear glasses or not? All right.
I've got a news story. Okay. Hooters is getting a rebrand. Pop this up. Hooters is trying to revamp its image with a family-friendly vibe. The New York Times reporting the original owners of Hooters are moving to reclaim the business with a plan to re-Hooterize the brand and bring it back to a casual place with a family-friendly vibe. We're getting back to what makes us interesting.
A beach-themed restaurant as opposed to a girly bar, Neil Kiefer, the chief executive, said in an interview. Under private equity control, he argued the franchise operators leaned into more overtly sexual marketing, notably a 2021 decision to introduce uniforms that resembled underwear. There's kids eat free promotion on Saturdays and Hooters branded baby onesies are for sale.
Yet it holds the occasional bikini night with servers doing their jobs in swimwear. The fucking name of it is Hooters.
It's Hooters. It's always going to be Hooters. Here's the thing. The people that take their families to Hooters don't give a fuck one way or the other. So I don't know who they think's going in there. I mean, I don't... The kids eating free... I just don't know who... Hooters is Hooters. That's why people go in there.

No, I think it was straight. I think it was, they were having sex in a hay barn. I'm impressed that you remember such details. Did the woman have large breasts? Did Candy Cane have large breasts?

Chapter 7: What is the role of identity in political accountability?
And so those sort of issues crisscross through the trans community and particularly for trans women in a way that stops us, again, from being able to access the things we need.
And many, unfortunately, historically, many black trans women have been forced to make a decision when they've been shut out of work and shut out of different opportunities, they've been forced to make the decision to engage in survival sex work. And that's something that I think has impacted the community. It has lasting impacts in the community and for individuals.
But this obsession with trans issues, like you said, it is fatal. And the lack of protection that we should get from who are people who should be progressives. These are people that campaign on progressive ideals. And then they turn around and they admit after, not admit, but actually say,
coalesce or acquiesce to the right and saying, yeah, the reason why we lost the election is because we were too woke and we focused on trans issues too much. When the Harris campaign did not champion, I'm not saying Kamala Harris was anti-trans, but that was not included in her platform. Anyway, I was looking for it.
I was working with the campaign saying, right now there are many, many anti-trans policies that were happening in the state level, despite the fact that Donald Trump was not in office. But his rhetoric really, and probably his first term, really allowed people at the state level to start attacking the trans community years ago.
And so we were seeing that attack really, really sort of take hold and end up resulting in hundreds of anti-trans bills and policies. And it kind of started with the attack on drag. Oh, yes.
Oh, yes. Yeah.
We're like, we don't want drag queens reading. We don't want drag queens breaking into our house. We don't want drag queens, you know, scamming. And they're not they're not doing any of that. They're not. They're in a dress at the thing reading a book.
All you have to do is not go to a drag show. It's simple.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude on the importance of community support?
Yeah.
Trans people do too. Of course. And that is, I think, at the crux of this conversation and when a parent is trying to figure out what the best thing is to do. And no, we have to understand that so much of the fear that parents have and people who are naysayers of the trans community
are listening to everybody but trans people on this issue totally yeah like they don't yeah statistically most people don't personally know someone who's trans right uh you know a lot of you can hear it in how they're talking about it saying they're coming in and they're they're riding on elephants and like they're just like this it's like what are you talking about like that's not what's happening they make it sound if you listen to fogs like y'all are this organized um
Drug cartel. Yeah. With all of these weapons. Robbing and robbing. Going into schools and like. Shooting up things. Peppermint, go down. You're like, I've got her. Shot. Trans.
Trans.
Like you're shooting trans bullets into kids. Like a ninja. It's fucking crazy. It's wild.
And I also want to, you know, like we can specifically look at the numbers when it comes to that misinformation. Because we just talked, you know, about shootings. And I want to be, you know, reverent of the fact that there are so many school shootings that happen. Gosh. So many mass shootings that happen in our country. You know, we top the list.
There's a mass shooting statistically that happens every day, I think. And right now what we're doing is we're watching people who are conservative and who are anti-trans basically blaming the entire trans community for every single school shooting that's ever happened, trying to sort of like convince us that every single shooting that's ever happened has been done by a trans person.
I have the numbers on this. It's four. that are trans. And then the rest, that mass shootings, it's in the thousands. And Joe Rogan is a huge presenter of this misinformation with an assist from his friend, Elon Musk. And this just all contributes to this propaganda surrounding trans people. When I think back to growing up in the 80s, you...
