I've had it with the conservatives in my area who engage me in political conversation and automatically assume that I am a conservative because I am, "white", absolutely not, we are not the same! ✌️💙
I don't know where these women have been my whole life, absolutely adore these ladies!! Thank you for fighting the good fight with a southern fried twang
Wow! It says a lot that you’re comfortable making such a wild statement. Imagine what would happen if someone said “you’re the only 2 black men I trust”. That’s the double standard of the left.
I've had it with people who don't know the difference between "there, their and they're. Most frustrating when they're used wrong in their comments. Also could care less instead of couldn't care less.
Thank you both! We are losing all the homophones! I've actually gone off about the steering straps on a bridle before. Toe the line is from darts, isn't it? I was forty years ago old when I learned it was sports related, and nothing to do with a mule named Sal working the Erie Canal!
Love this podcast, love Jen and Pumps, this podcast today is such a breath of fresh air. The toxic environment we live in is so draining. We need more laughter - less chat about all the dip-shits. Merry Christmas to all. 🎄
I got a job talking to a man who was seated next to me on a plane. I tried to ignore him but he was persistent, obnoxious and drinking. Changed my life's trajectory. YOU NEVER KNOW.
@@chuckwagon6565 Yes, it really happened. Over 30 years ago. It's way too long of a story to present here. My point was that you never know what may happen when you open yourself up. Meeting others can be fascinating, but you do talk to a lot of self centered turds along the way.
That was hilarious how you went on about older people going on and on about the weather, and then you went on and on about the weather. Hey, I get it, I’m old. But that was funny AF.
I’m not so sure it’s about the weather. I think older people can be desperately lonely too. I was once on a train and despite my headphones, an older lady wanted to tell me all about ‘her TV soap stories”. I’d like to say I listened because I’m a good person, but my battery died, so I listened. Two hours later she was smiling like I had given her a new car. Life lesson learned-for me. Sometimes I need quiet. Sometimes I need to engage. Wouldn’t you rather they hear YOU than say…a MAGA who doesn’t mind engaging with them?
I have an autoimmune disorder that is effected severely with changes in the weather. I watch the forecast constantly to know if I’m going to be bed ridden in pain for days on end, or will I actually be able to make dinner, do laundry, shop for groceries on any given day. Weather dictates everything in my life. I yearn for the days when talks of weather were just trivial conversation props. So, yes, consider me one of those nerds who are obsessed with the weather.
@ I hear you ‘nerd’ 😉. And I respect this. Just as much as I respect people with autoimmune issues wearing masks, despite what some arrogant TV show hosts assume about that. 😊
I have a public facing job and most of the customers will ask how I am doing and I usually say, "I'm well, how are you?" And they don't answer. Why ask if you aren't going to answer, it's so annoying!
I think this is also a cultural thing. I also work in a public facing job in Switzerland and I noticed that with US and other English-speaking countries. We Swiss people rarely ever do that as a greeting.
Historically, the phrase "How are you?" was derived from "How are your bowels?". I'm not kidding!: The phrase "How are you" is believed to have originated from a more literal and direct question, "How are your bowels," as in the medieval era, "bowels" was a common way to refer to one's overall health, not just the digestive system, so asking about someone's bowels was essentially a way of inquiring about their general well-being.
You ladies would love it here in the UK, where folks are very reserved...... British people are not keen on talking to strangers. We always know the Yanks, because they're always boisterous.
As a US American, can confirm. Visited Ireland for a week and everyone assumed we were from the US or Canada cause we were openly smiling everywhere we went.😂 And I'm an extrovert, so I strike up convos if people say hello.
@@janicewood2384 I'm living in Brighton, in the South Coast of England. Brighton is a city with a very large LGBTQ + community, maybe the biggest in England. In Brighton, you'll see a huge number of drag queens, make up and dresses galore, it's part and parcel of our culture. The maganuts in the state would lose their minds, here it comes naturally, especially in Brighton. There are many gay pubs and bars..... really bohemian.
We Weather because we are retired. I scan grocery ads every Wednesday, before I shop. I look at Obituaries every day. I read my news. Then I look for you two, who haven't retired yet! If I want quiet, I read books, or different genras, knit, or crochet, or sew with soothing music. I play with my cats, muck out my house, and keep in touch with friends on the phone. All I can tell you, is when the kids are gone, you retire, friends die, and your highly educated mind sets daily chores that hurt no one, and the silence is golden, but lonely at times. One day you will be where I am today. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, OR Merry Christmas to you both!
Merry Christmas to you, I said to myself if and when I get older I will do the opposite of what an old person does, I will not go to bingo or go to a Senior Citizens club to mingle I will remain a rebel to the end, I used to wonder why Senior Citizens houses stayed at a certain era, why didn’t they update their living room with newer furniture,Paint etc. well I found out the answer… energy levels are down in older people we don’t have the energy to paint and decorate, I found this out by turning old myself lol
We were making good progress toward converting to metric and President Reagan stopped it. Fortunately I graduated high school in 1981 so I know it. I enjoy cooking and go through a recipe and convert everything to metric because it is so much easier and accurate to measure by weight in grams. I suspect the caller has had recipe failures as he mentioned ounces. Liquid ounces are not the same as weight ounces and he probably doesn’t realize it. Many of the problems we have today started with Reagan. Admittedly and regretfully I voted for him, not knowing any better. I was first eligible to vote in 1984, and the economy was good. Also people say trickle down doesn’t work. It worked somewhat between 1983 and 1986 until the capitalists figured out they could cut taxes and change the deductions in their favor even more, and the corporations realized they didn’t have to keep raising pay just because they were rolling in money. Masses of people sleeping downtown every night were not seen until after Reagan. One of the first things he did was undo the work Rosalyn Carter did for mental health and cut off federal funds to the states for mental hospitals. And just for spite he had the solar panels President Carter put on the White House removed.
I was in high school here in Canada when we converted to metric. So I'm familiar with both systems and I think a lot of people are -- if they're good at measurements at all. (My daughter-in-law prefers metric because fractions give her anxiety.) Nearly every mechanically minded person has both metric and imperial wrenches, sockets, etc.
I'm tired of weather persons treating us like this is our first winter specially for those of us whose work involves outside. Hey, weatherman needs a desk on the porch.
Well people forget everything really fast in these days of our digital attention spans, and with climate change I have not seen a decently snowy winter since 2016!
I think the weather is an conversation starter. I notice people and myself do it all the time. Especially in Michigan where the weather changes every 5 min😊
Yeah I've noticed now that I'm old, as soon as it gets cold outside I start getting achy. Now I understand. Why old people move to Florida. Okay, well maybe not Florida, but warm places.
Yes, Yes, I’m particularly irritated by unsolicited conversations, especially when people try to proselytize to me while I’m standing in line to vote against a conman. I had it.
The weather talk is because old people have talked for so many years and have nothing else to say, hoping that other people would just go away, we bring up the weather....works every time.
Remember Trumps last day in office before Biden arrived? He stood at the microphone and said Have a Nice Life and then boarded the plane - as far as I’m concerned it’s another broken promise that we would never have to hear or see him again and could have a nice life! I knew it was too good to be true!
I love your beautiful voices and contribution to my education on the political landscape of the USA, especially leading up to the election and beyond. I am a Canadian and very anxious about the changes coming our way. I want to let you know what I have had it with. It is the media clips of men, convicted or accused of sexual assault and other crimes, hanging on to women on their way to media events and hearings. What is going on with these women??? I’ve had it.
Hi ladies just like to say pumps I used to work at M&S which is a very popular shop in uk . At Christmas the Christmas song was on Continually 8 hours shifts 5 days a week from the 1st of December none stop or sometimes they would give us a treat and play there Christmas adverts none stop totally Torturing us I’m lucky now I’m retire I had it . Great show keep it up well done you two love to fur babies I have a black Labrador named Frank he ate two Christmas Decorations already xxxxx
The one Christmas song I'm dying to hear is Dan Fogelberg's Auld Lang Syne where he talks about running into his old girlfriend at the grocery store and getting a six-pack of beer. I think it's a beautiful song.
People talk about the weather to engage in polite conversation. Weather is not a problematic conversation. Honestly do you want to hear about their bullshit lives.
Please don't take this wrong, I love you two ladies, and I always look forward to listening to you. But, I'm sitting here having coffee, enjoying your podcast, and can't help but chuckle at your comment about "just wanting silence". The irony of "not wanting to hear people talk" coming in a podcast based on two ladies just talking! Anyway, love you both, keep up the good fight!
I had with this ladies at Starbucks on 116 in Fishers IN, coming to me to talk about religion and I had to sit there and try to be nice and asking me is i am married which I not but had to say yes I am. they go like we will pray for your marriage, then we had to pray seriously at Starbucks. that was un called for. I am a Christian and after few yes in this country have decided to not shove my opinions o. anything to anyone
The attendant of the flight Paris-New-York, lots of years ago, sat a young girl at my side. Asked me to keep an eye on her, she was traveling alone going back home after a visit to her grand parents. Best exchange of intelligent conversation I had in all my life with any traveler companion. She was not yet twelve, and didn't care for the colours and little games they give to kids. She presented herself and asked me lots of questions on subjects of history, plane technology, news, even philosophical ones. Adults are so worn out, closed, talking weather. She was middle class, speaking either english or french; it was refreshing, really. Give me a pre-teen, preferably a girl, anytime as travel company! Or a japanese mamy. But not what we call adult, they are so dry and provide no interesting conversation.
When I go places I often have a book. They make great conversation starters. I’ve been out places and met the most interesting people because of books I’ve had. Also books are great to keep people from talking to you too.
My husband told me recently people reading in public is a sign they want someone to talk to them and that they are just pretending to read. I feel the opposite. If I'm reading in public I am entrenched in the story and can't put it down. I never heard of this as a signal to chat me up.
Jennifer you deserve a metal for staying with and helping Josh when he was at his lowest point and Josh deserved a metal for getting better from his addiction.
We still mostly use pounds and ounces in the UK. M p h rather than k p h. We use centigrade rather than Fahrenheit. We really messed up here in the UK as well and we got Europe right there which is all in on the metric. Anyhow. Thanks for providing a ray of sunshine and what has turned out to be quite a dull day here in Wales. Keep up the good work folks.
I've been working remotely for almost 8 years and I have completely lost the ability for small talk. I had it for a while when I had to work a conference, but after COVID when conventions went by the way side and my physical contact with people became even less I now find myself just staring at people when they talk to me. I've become that weird person that just stares now. I'm OK with it.
Silence, ah...!!! Gotta be monastic to find silence...!!! Ya can listen without it; can't reflect upon what ya listenn to without; gives a person a chance to discover one's reations so they can properly decide how to respond correctly...!!! Silence, ah...!!!
Where i live in the world, the weather is extreme and changes on a dime. It is perfect fodder for not only small talk but important for driving and clothing choices. Snow, rain, wind sunburnt all on the same day. That means sunscreen, a jacket and umbrella, ice boots and a scarf.
Wow here on Belgium no Christmas music anywhere at this time. Just the odd Christmas deco or tree to be seen in public or shops. I will remain steadfast and put up my tree for my son's homecoming around the twentieth of December. The "weather" one was funny😅. Obsession with weather among us oldies is so true. Even I am prone to that! If you love to embrace silence come to Belgium. People do not talk to each other in public unless some horrible or exciting news unite us all for brief periods.
Pumps is a better woman than me (mainly because I’m a man). If Jenn was telling me all the words I say wrong and then let that next caller say “ser-MON” and “coat uncoat” without a mention, I would riot.
I had a friend- well she just wanted to be the husbands friend really. She and her husband tried to give us Covid! So last February i texted her to tell her a few things shed done wrong and to never do it again. Then a few days later i texted her to tell her to never come around again, please. ( im polite- sometimes!) She hasnt! Ive never felt happier after 25 years of her snide remarks. I’d had it!
Hi from Finland! The weather thing was instantly recognizible to me. We have said here, for decades mind you, "On säitä pidelly" or "Säitä pidelly" which loosly translates to "It's been weathers, right". Yes, a plural. :D We Finns love to small talk about the weather, and we are notoriously blunt/shortspoken, so a vague statement like this is perfect for us.
I had a liver transplant a few months ago, but no CEO lives were lost because I'm Canadian. However, for over a year, all anyone wanted to talk to me about was my health, and I must say now talking about the weather is awesome because it makes me feel normal. My stars we are having some weather LOL
I use to make fun of my in-laws for always talking about the weather. And not just the local weather but the entire United States weather. And I would think “Who the hell cares?” Now I’m at the age they were when they were consumed with the weather and my husband and I check it regularly….like daily….sometimes more than once, because we forget what we read earlier lol. Jennifer I hope that you’re still doing your show when you get in your sixties like me so I can finally hear you talk about the weather…..because you will….I guarantee it. I love you both!!
I think it's time for me to delete Facebook. For some odd reason I have had AI mermaid capture videos popping up CONSTANTLY in my feed. Never in my life have i ever had an interest in the capturing of mermaids, AI or otherwise.
oh no! I tried FB for abt 6 months. hated feeling obligated to spill the guts of my daily life. I don't care what others are eating & cooking and doing. Noted immediately FB was a data-mining entity and deleted myself. That was 20 years ago. I admit I'm a rebel. Never gave in to owning a smartphone; only have a flip.
I've had it with people who keep texting after you've already said, I'm busy right now, I'm working, I'm eating lunch or dinner, I'm driving, etc...and the just KEEP ON TEXTING 😂😂😂
I drive for a living. One of the many, many things I’ve had it with with other drivers is people asking me how the roads are during a snowstorm. I just want to yell at them, there’s a foot of snow on the ground and the roads are icy, how the f*ck do you think they are stupid!
Jennifer: 'I would try to stump the AI priest. By saying something like 'well, who made god?'' hahaha I would also try to stump the AI priest. 'What's the best flavour of Minnesota hot dish?' 'Can you recite the entire Bible backwards while singing ACDC???'
When I asked the artificial intelligence that now exists on Google here is what it came back saying to me...."No person or thing created God. He created "time,"' and because we dwell in the dimension of time, reason demands that all things have a beginning and an end. God, however, dwells outside of the dimension of time." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Really that's the best explanation Google? I almost peed laughing
I tell all my friends to listen to you two. I live in a blue state and to listen to how bad schools, healthcare and life in OK is not ok. Love your show.
I used to think I was weird until I heard you speak and it was like my own thinking. It’s good to know there is another Wiman out there who feels as I do!!
Okay…leaving you lovely ladies a 5-star review to help you get up to the big 12K! You guys are priceless. I hate Trump and you’ve been keeping me sane after the election! Keep up the good work!
That was extra funny today...probably because I was a Flight Attendant for 17 years and could write an "I've Had It" book. And yes, seniors live for talking about the weather and the daily trip to the mailbox. I am a senior...so I can laugh about that! You 2 are priceless!!
At 81 I am officially old and I have paid attention to weather for decades because of my horses. Much depended on the weather. Do I turn them out, which blanket do I put on them, etc. it became second nature. Now I still care because of my plants on the balcony. I am healthy but if I had arthritis I’d care about that damn weather. BUT as far as religious and political views, we are in synch. Love your sense of humor.
Greg lake, I believe in Father Christmas, only one I could listen to on repeat for days♥️😁🇨🇦love you guys! This people, is how real intelligent women converse🫢
I am so thankful for you both! I don't know how to comprehend the hell that will happen in this country until the rule of Trump....it terrifies me! I am a 1st generation American with immigrant parents from Israel who fled Austria at the height of WWII....I just don't know how to make sense of this insanity, but, you ladies offer me so much validation! You are speaking my thoughts (Jennifer....you must live in my brain!!!!) Thank you both so much!!!
I've had it with the conservatives in my area who engage me in political conversation and automatically assume that I am a conservative because I am, "white", absolutely not, we are not the same! ✌️💙
Kept my Harris+ stickers on my car 🚗-- problem solved :)
The same people who complain to me about Blacks because I'm white when I have a black husband sons and grand daughters.
@@breathnstop 💯we are all human, all have brown something somewhere: real racism based on eye color, remember Trump talking about " my blue eyes"?
EXACTLY!!!!
So move.

I just discovered these ladies and...YES!!
Yep. Listening to them is actually a bit therapeutic for that reason😭
You both are amazing, witty, and FABULOUS!!!🎉
As a farmer , the weather totally influences every day of my life in some way. And I am old now. But I get your point.
I've had it with people who don't know the difference between "there, their and they're. Most frustrating when they're used wrong in their comments. Also could care less instead of couldn't care less.
And "tow the line" instead of "toe the line" or "reign it in" instead of "rein it in." I mean, don't all Americans know something about horses?
Thank you both!
We are losing all the homophones!
I've actually gone off about the steering straps on a bridle before.
Toe the line is from darts, isn't it? I was forty years ago old when I learned it was sports related, and nothing to do with a mule named Sal working the Erie Canal!
MAGAs probably?

I got a job talking to a man who was seated next to me on a plane. I tried to ignore him but he was persistent, obnoxious and drinking.

The weather is important especially when it affects your pain levels. That's why I check.

Move to Mass. We dont talk shit here
Because our country is NOT rich………the corporations who are based out of here are!
“Oh the weather outside is weather” 🎵
I have my ear buds in when I'm home doing my chores, my husband knows this but he still talks to me about the damn weather!
Love you ladies so much. I laughed in my office like a crazy person
Last Christmas never gets old I agree 👏🏻
I always look at the weather a day ahead. Riding a motorcycle in the rain can be an adventure. 😮
Wham, last Christmas 🎄 is
great, since almost 40 years
ago. When that group started
I wasn't even 40, then, now 80
and still enjoy the video too. 😊
I get it, Jennifer.
I crave authenticity in others.
It is so rare today to find.
The weather talk is because old people have talked for so many years and have nothing else to say, hoping that other people would just go away, we bring up the weather....works every time.
What I do is say omg my daughter is calling me I have t take this - it’s so great to see you! Bye!
This episode is a BANGER!
🌞 🌧🌦 🌪 🌩🌊 "gonna get some weather" lol. ❤ these ladies.
I was taught to avoid small talk, because small talk is for small minds. 💯
We have definitely been dumbed down...we use terrible language, and we dont even practice! Good one!

Hi ladies just like to say pumps I used to work at M&S which is a very popular shop in uk . At Christmas the Christmas song was on Continually 8 hours shifts 5 days a week from the 1st of December none stop or sometimes they would give us a treat and play there Christmas adverts none stop totally Torturing us I’m lucky now I’m retire I had it . Great show keep it up well done you two love to fur babies I have a black Labrador named Frank he ate two Christmas Decorations already xxxxx
I used to say that “we are going to get some weather” to mess with people! lol
The one Christmas song I'm dying to hear is Dan Fogelberg's Auld Lang Syne where he talks about running into his old girlfriend at the grocery store and getting a six-pack of beer. I think it's a beautiful song.
I agree.
People talk about the weather to engage in polite conversation. Weather is not a problematic conversation. Honestly do you want to hear about their bullshit lives.
Well it did become politicized with the hurricanes this year! People saying Dems created storms to block Republicans voting. And on and on, sheesh
😂
Please don't take this wrong, I love you two ladies, and I always look forward to listening to you. But, I'm sitting here having coffee, enjoying your podcast, and can't help but chuckle at your comment about "just wanting silence". The irony of "not wanting to hear people talk" coming in a podcast based on two ladies just talking! Anyway, love you both, keep up the good fight!
I had with this ladies at Starbucks on 116 in Fishers IN, coming to me to talk about religion and I had to sit there and try to be nice and asking me is i am married which I not but had to say yes I am. they go like we will pray for your marriage, then we had to pray seriously at Starbucks. that was un called for. I am a Christian and after few yes in this country have decided to not shove my opinions o. anything to anyone
I’m sorry. Indiana scares me. I’m from Illinois. lol
The attendant of the flight Paris-New-York, lots of years ago, sat a young girl at my side. Asked me to keep an eye on her, she was traveling alone going back home after a visit to her grand parents. Best exchange of intelligent conversation I had in all my life with any traveler companion. She was not yet twelve, and didn't care for the colours and little games they give to kids. She presented herself and asked me lots of questions on subjects of history, plane technology, news, even philosophical ones. Adults are so worn out, closed, talking weather. She was middle class, speaking either english or french; it was refreshing, really. Give me a pre-teen, preferably a girl, anytime as travel company! Or a japanese mamy. But not what we call adult, they are so dry and provide no interesting conversation.
When I go places I often have a book. They make great conversation starters. I’ve been out places and met the most interesting people because of books I’ve had. Also books are great to keep people from talking to you too.
My husband told me recently people reading in public is a sign they want someone to talk to them and that they are just pretending to read. I feel the opposite. If I'm reading in public I am entrenched in the story and can't put it down. I never heard of this as a signal to chat me up.
@@jacquelynstewart6965 I'm with you, and I think your husband's idea explains why men always interrupt me when reading in the park. 😊
Yes!! That’s the answer.. Earbuds and a cactus suit! 🌵My new outfit! 😊
I would create a t-shirt with the words..."Hey! Good to see you. Sorry can't talk. I'm busy!! " Just a crazy thought 😅
😂😂😂😂
Ca caw! I've had it with Christmas, full stop.
I love y'all so much!❤
Jennifer you deserve a metal for staying with and helping Josh when he was at his lowest point and Josh deserved a metal for getting better from his addiction.
We still mostly use pounds and ounces in the UK. M p h rather than k p h. We use centigrade rather than Fahrenheit. We really messed up here in the UK as well and we got Europe right there which is all in on the metric.
Anyhow. Thanks for providing a ray of sunshine and what has turned out to be quite a dull day here in Wales.
Keep up the good work folks.
I've been working remotely for almost 8 years and I have completely lost the ability for small talk. I had it for a while when I had to work a conference, but after COVID when conventions went by the way side and my physical contact with people became even less I now find myself just staring at people when they talk to me. I've become that weird person that just stares now. I'm OK with it.
Silence, ah...!!! Gotta be monastic to find silence...!!! Ya can listen without it; can't reflect upon what ya listenn to without; gives a person a chance to discover one's reations so they can properly decide how to respond correctly...!!! Silence, ah...!!!
Jenifer so grouchy this morning 😂😂. I guess the weather has got her down 😂😂❤❤
Where i live in the world, the weather is extreme and changes on a dime. It is perfect fodder for not only small talk but important for driving and clothing choices.
Snow, rain, wind sunburnt all on the same day. That means sunscreen, a jacket and umbrella, ice boots and a scarf.
Good afternoon ladies. LMAO Pumps, already sick of Christmas music! #DITTO....Ive had enough by December 2nd😉😅
You two make me miss my best friend so damn much. 😢
Wow here on Belgium no Christmas music anywhere at this time. Just the odd Christmas deco or tree to be seen in public or shops.
I will remain steadfast and put up my tree for my son's homecoming around the twentieth of December.
The "weather" one was funny😅.
Obsession with weather among us oldies is so true. Even I am prone to that! If you love to embrace silence come to Belgium. People do not talk to each other in public unless some horrible or exciting news unite us all for brief periods.
The decorating for Christmas is ridiculous in the US.
I agree with the people of Belgium; the 20Dec is perfect.
I wish you were on for hours. I can listen to you anytime
Feisty and honest❤
Thanks!
Pumps is a better woman than me (mainly because I’m a man). If Jenn was telling me all the words I say wrong and then let that next caller say “ser-MON” and “coat uncoat” without a mention, I would riot.
I had a friend- well she just wanted to be the husbands friend really. She and her husband tried to give us Covid! So last February i texted her to tell her a few things shed done wrong and to never do it again. Then a few days later i texted her to tell her to never come around again, please. ( im polite- sometimes!) She hasnt! Ive never felt happier after 25 years of her snide remarks. I’d had it!
Joining you from Germany. I love you, gals 😊
I absolutely love you both. You make me laugh every day.
Keep on Shining!!!
Hi from Finland! The weather thing was instantly recognizible to me. We have said here, for decades mind you, "On säitä pidelly" or "Säitä pidelly" which loosly translates to "It's been weathers, right". Yes, a plural. :D We Finns love to small talk about the weather, and we are notoriously blunt/shortspoken, so a vague statement like this is perfect for us.
I listen to you all for the cussing. Something so hilarious about classy ladies cussing in a classy way.
When you live in tornado alley, then you find yourself checking on the weather more often than the average person.
You just described my husband!! He will dwell on the hourly weather! 🤔😝
I had a liver transplant a few months ago, but no CEO lives were lost because I'm Canadian.
However, for over a year, all anyone wanted to talk to me about was my health, and I must say now talking about the weather is awesome because it makes me feel normal. My stars we are having some weather LOL
I use to make fun of my in-laws for always talking about the weather. And not just the local weather but the entire United States weather. And I would think “Who the hell cares?” Now I’m at the age they were when they were consumed with the weather and my husband and I check it regularly….like daily….sometimes more than once, because we forget what we read earlier lol. Jennifer I hope that you’re still doing your show when you get in your sixties like me so I can finally hear you talk about the weather…..because you will….I guarantee it. I love you both!!
I think it's time for me to delete Facebook. For some odd reason I have had AI mermaid capture videos popping up CONSTANTLY in my feed. Never in my life have i ever had an interest in the capturing of mermaids, AI or otherwise.
oh no!
I tried FB for abt 6 months. hated feeling obligated to spill the guts of my daily life. I don't care what others are eating & cooking and doing. Noted immediately FB was a data-mining entity and deleted myself.
That was 20 years ago. I admit I'm a rebel. Never gave in to owning a smartphone; only have a flip.
I've had it with people who keep texting after you've already said, I'm busy right now, I'm working, I'm eating lunch or dinner, I'm driving, etc...and the just KEEP ON TEXTING 😂😂😂
I drive for a living. One of the many, many things I’ve had it with with other drivers is people asking me how the roads are during a snowstorm. I just want to yell at them, there’s a foot of snow on the ground and the roads are icy, how the f*ck do you think they are stupid!
Jennifer: 'I would try to stump the AI priest. By saying something like 'well, who made god?'' hahaha
I would also try to stump the AI priest. 'What's the best flavour of Minnesota hot dish?' 'Can you recite the entire Bible backwards while singing ACDC???'
When I asked the artificial intelligence that now exists on Google here is what it came back saying to me...."No person or thing created God.
He created "time,"' and because we
dwell in the dimension of time,
reason demands that all things have
a beginning and an end. God,
however, dwells outside of the
dimension of time." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Really that's the best explanation Google? I almost peed laughing
I tell all my friends to listen to you two. I live in a blue state and to listen to how bad schools, healthcare and life in OK is not ok. Love your show.
I'm a church going Rome Catholic, but I refuse to go to a priest for confession. I don't trust them.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
5 star love your show ladies!
I used to think I was weird until I heard you speak and it was like my own thinking. It’s good to know there is another Wiman out there who feels as I do!!
I love decorations but I gotta be in the mood for the music!
Instead of “Thanks Obama” (with snark), it can be “Thanks Trump” (with added snark)
Love from Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst
Okay…leaving you lovely ladies a 5-star review to help you get up to the big 12K! You guys are priceless. I hate Trump and you’ve been keeping me sane after the election! Keep up the good work!
That was extra funny today...probably because I was a Flight Attendant for 17 years and could write an "I've Had It" book. And yes, seniors live for talking about the weather and the daily trip to the mailbox. I am a senior...so I can laugh about that! You 2 are priceless!!
I've had it with estheticians who keep talking when I'm having a facial. Shut up already! Just shut it.
At 81 I am officially old and I have paid attention to weather for decades because of my horses. Much depended on the weather. Do I turn them out, which blanket do I put on them, etc. it became second nature. Now I still care because of my plants on the balcony. I am healthy but if I had arthritis I’d care about that damn weather. BUT as far as religious and political views, we are in synch. Love your sense of humor.
Greg lake, I believe in Father Christmas, only one I could listen to on repeat for days♥️😁🇨🇦love you guys! This people, is how real intelligent women converse🫢
I am so thankful for you both! I don't know how to comprehend the hell that will happen in this country until the rule of Trump....it terrifies me! I am a 1st generation American with immigrant parents from Israel who fled Austria at the height of WWII....I just don't know how to make sense of this insanity, but, you ladies offer me so much validation! You are speaking my thoughts (Jennifer....you must live in my brain!!!!) Thank you both so much!!!
