0:03

Oh, man.

0:07

Control is really is strongest. I'm getting better at it all the time. I'm.

0:14

We're at a funeral again now.

0:16

We're all. We're both in black again.

0:19

I don't even notice. The producers always sniff it out.

0:23

Jen, Morton's coming to the funeral. Yes. You're in black, too.

0:26

One of the producers has joined in. It is the funeral of I've had it, the podcast.

0:33

I want to air grievance that I have with you personally.

0:35

Oh, great. Okay.

0:38

I've had it with you

0:41

in the sense that when we're talking on the phone.

0:44

Yeah. And we hang up.

0:46

You always put the burden

0:49

of the hang up on me.

0:52

You never hang up the phone. Ever.

0:55

Maybe I'm just waiting for something brilliant you're about.

0:57

So typically I call you on my way to pick a ball.

1:00

Mm hmm. And so, right when I pull up in the parking lot at my car in park,

1:05

I say, okay, I got to go. I got to go in for pickleball. And then I'm put in the car park.

1:09

I'm looking for my pickleball bag. And then all of a sudden

1:12

I look down like 10 seconds have passed and the calls still live.

1:16

And I've noticed it more and more and more

1:19

that you unfairly place the hang it burden on me.

1:23

Basically, I'm carrying 100% of the load.

1:26

On the hanger. Terminating the call, and I've noticed it and I put it on my little list of things

1:31

to bring up with you that I'm carrying the load of this.

1:35

And I want you to know, number one, I've had it. Okay.

1:38

Number two, You're welcome. Okay. I just want to say in response, I don't give a fuck,

1:44

but thank you for bringing it to my attention.

1:46

Fair enough. Fair enough.

1:48

What have you had it with this week? Okay. I've had it with what I see as a new trend

1:53

of everyone wanting to be tipped all the time.

1:57

It's true. It used to be car hops and servers.

2:00

That's it. Now you go order your food.

2:04

You pay for your food while standing at the register. Yep.

2:08

And then you're going to go pick up your food by the time they have it made for you.

2:11

And it says, Do you want a tip? So you're looking straight up at the person that you're tipping.

2:16

So if you hit no tip, you're just a total fucking twat.

2:21

That's right. But it just seems ridiculous if I'm ordering it,

2:26

if I'm standing up to pay for it and I have to pick it up, there's

2:30

the tip question should never be asked.

2:32

I went to a bakery to get some cookies the other day, and,

2:36

you know, they have the little glass display and I see the cookies with the icing and the sprinkles.

2:40

And I'm like, I'll take six of those.

2:43

It's her job to put the six cookies in a box.

2:47

Ring me up. She spends a little checkout thing around and there's a tip on it.

2:53

It's outrageous. At the Botox clinic, there's a tip place at every where you go.

3:00

It's all built in this tip.

3:02

And then you feel like this asshole.

3:04

Because I'm a huge believer in tipping.

3:07

We were both servers, so we are huge tippers. Yes.

3:10

Great tip. Even if the service is shitty.

3:13

I'm going to tip big, right? I'm going to tip because despite bad service, that's what I'm going to do.

3:18

But there's some skirting of the system.

3:21

And let me tell you what I think is going on. I don't think the minimum wage is high enough.

3:25

Okay. So you've got people living below the poverty line

3:30

and then these corporations that make all these billions of dollars

3:34

that also skirt taxes because of all the laws that favor

3:38

corporation ones and not individuals are putting the burden back on us

3:43

where if they would just pay a livable wage,

3:45

we wouldn't have to tip out the wazoo all the time.

3:48

I agree with all that.

3:50

It sounds too complicated for me to really care about too much,

3:54

But I do think the bottom line is

3:59

if you're not providing a service, you don't get it.

4:02

So would you say you're a high information voter or low information?

4:05

High information voter, but like, I'm not going to

4:08

break it down into like comparing it to tipping, agreeing or.

4:12

Pooh poohing. I'm not doing it. I'm just like.

4:15

You're pooh poohing. That's bullshit.

4:18

That is bullshit right there. I'm not.

4:21

I'm not pooh poohing anyone except like the boss.

4:25

Let's say, for example, our favorite restaurant.

4:27

We go to every day. Pretty much. Yes, yes, yes.

4:29

You stay in there, you order, they give you your food.

4:32

On occasion, they'll bring it to you. You have to get your own drink.

4:35

Yes. All that greed. So that corporation should pay them.

4:41

More greed. And not ask. For tip tipping everywhere.

4:44

It's out of control. I went to a concession stand at a basketball game.

4:48

The tip jar. I worked at a concession stand.

4:51

Nobody tipped you. At Brant Junior High School in Moore, Oklahoma,

4:56

and I worked the little students door. It was a little concession stand.

4:59

I never got a fucking tip. Back in the day, it would have been unheard of to tip,

5:04

to even ask or expect a tip. Yeah.

5:06

At that this. I feel like this is the last five or ten years deal.

5:11

I mean, you take one nail, lady, you change her hair.

5:14

I'm no, I'm fine with all those. I'm just like, if.

5:17

If the only service you're doing is entering what I'm getting ready to buy

5:21

in the computer. That's preprogramed.

5:24

All you have to do is find spinach salad.

5:27

I don't think that's a typical action.

5:29

Let me ask you this. When it comes to restaurants and you're dining out

5:34

and there's a booth for top booth, right.

5:37

And you see a couple

5:40

that are a couple meaning two. Right.

5:43

Sitting at a Ford booth on the same side.

5:46

How do you feel about that? I'm immediately fucking hate their guts.

5:51

Think that they're ridiculous. Same.

5:53

There's no reason for a couple to sit on the same side of the bed.

5:58

And let's break it down. Let me ask you, what percentage.

6:01

Do. You guys go out to eat? And out of 100% of the time that you're seated in a four top booth.

6:07

What is the. Percentage that y'all would sit on the same side of the booth?

6:11

Is it just. Just just two of two people in a four top?

6:15

What's the percentage that y'all are going to sit? 15.

6:18

Yeah, maybe more.

6:21

I mean, 100% for the picture to send you guys.

6:24

But we like to sit next to each other. It's fun.

6:26

I always think in my mind, you're just sitting on the same side to torture us.

6:30

But then you go back to being a normal people.

6:32

Normal people? No. We say we stay.

6:34

There are times you can hold. Hands while you eat. You guys should try it sometime. You love it.

6:38

Now you hold. Hands when you eat.

6:41

And yeah. I mean. Jen would love to though I probably would.

6:45

Just go right. At her. So in the vein of all of this, you know, just gratuitous tipping

6:53

non stop, we are going to have a guest on today,

6:57

Merritt Davis and she has a podcast called Vote Her Out of Atlanta.

7:02

And she has a lot of very strong opinions.

7:05

One in particular about the meal that people eat on Sundays.

7:10

She weighs in on the news like weekly entertainment.

7:13

She's a mover and shaker in Hotlanta, Georgia.

7:15

Welcome to I've Had It podcast. Hi, Mara.

7:19

Thank you so much. So, Mary, you know what Pam's and I were just talking about and I know

7:24

a little birds told me that you've got to be up your bonnet on this.

7:28

And it is the restaurant culture of you.

7:33

Got a tip, everybody. Everybody going out to lunch on Sundays,

7:38

which I hear really gets up your craw.

7:41

So why don't you tell us a little bit about that.

7:45

Okay. Jennifer on pumps. I've had it with brunch.

7:51

Bottomless mimosa is like you made it up.

7:53

It's so gross. I just think of someone without pants on and, like, crushed that.

7:59

How do you feel about couples that sit on the same side of the booth?

8:03

So you've got two people sitting on the same side of a four top.

8:06

Are you for or against? Oh, no, no, I don't do it.

8:11

It comes in. I feel homicidal rage when.

8:16

Neither one of us are romantic at.

8:18

All. No, not at all. I'm like, if I went on a first date with someone

8:22

and he wanted to sit on the same side of the booth, I would immediately say, peace out.

8:26

If Josh and I went to dinner and he moved over and sat on the same side, I'd go,

8:31

What the fuck are you doing? Happen over there? Yeah, Here's what I want to talk about.

8:34

And I think you're going to have some good feedback on this.

8:36

There's been a lot of shit in the news about famous Hollywood types

8:41

that are shitty to waiters, which I think is the worst.

8:46

So tell us what you know about James Corden.

8:50

And we've also heard that Ellen DeGeneres is a terrible tipper.

8:55

Rachael Ray, Johnny Depp and

8:58

George Clooney are rumored to be some of the nicest and also,

9:03

of course, Harry Styles and the most darling man on the planet.

9:08

Barack Obama is rumored to be the nicest customer

9:11

and the best tipper, but that's no surprise to anyone.

9:14

But let's talk about the misbehaving bad.

9:18

James Corden So he got a lot of shit because he was eating at Baltasar in New York City.

9:24

And you ladies have probably been to Baltasar, right?

9:27

It's like it's, it's downtown and it's super chic.

9:32

The tables are very close together.

9:34

I've been there many times and service is always excellent.

9:37

But he was very particular about his omelet

9:40

and kept sending it back and kind of terrorized the staff.

9:43

And then the owner of the restaurant went public with it and put it on Instagram

9:51

and basically said, You've terrorized my staff, don't come back.

9:56

And I thought this was really great.

9:59

He has a reputation. He definitely does.

10:01

And it's always the people who are like the nice notice the nice people.

10:06

And so he had a reputation. No, he apologized.

10:08

They let him back in. But I think that's going to haunt him forever.

10:11

It's kind of great. Okay. I have two questions on that.

10:15

I love the fact that the owner came out and shamed him publicly.

10:19

I do. Love that. Editor.

10:22

But how do you send back an omelet multiple times?

10:25

I mean, even I can make an omelet. It's not that hard.

10:28

There's a lot of. Do you know who I am? Situé.

10:32

And let me tell you what a particular psycho I'm married to in restaurants.

10:37

So, you know, you all know Josh,

10:40

and we go to a mexican restaurant and, you know,

10:44

the Tex-Mex star where they immediately bring you chips and salsa.

10:48

Right? It's an immediate putdown. Josh was like, Can I get some salsa with no onions?

10:52

What? Yes. This is like where I just completely glaze over immediately

10:58

and I just look at the waitress and I'm like, Don't do.

11:01

That. It's not even possible.

11:03

It's not possible. But wherever whenever we go anywhere and we place an order,

11:10

I'm just I literally have to inhale.

11:13

Count to three, exhale, count to four.

11:16

It is like literally like I'm in labor because he is such a fucking psycho.

11:21

Special order, custom order.

11:24

It's so bad that, like, we'll be in line to order something.

11:27

He's like, okay, I want the number four, but remove the avocado, remove

11:31

the onions, remove this, remove that. And the guy's like, okay, so you want a number two?

11:35

He's like, you know. Merit.

11:38

Let me ask you this. What do you think about the term Sunday Funday?

11:44

Oh, my God, it's the worst ever. Like, ever.

11:48

Like, I hate the hashtags.

11:51

I hate when it first of all, what is it that is the most basic bitch

11:55

term that in foodie I don't like foodie either.

11:58

I'm not a foodie at all. Food for me is something that I have to do twice a day to be able to function.

12:05

I'm like, not this. You're never going to see me take a photograph of food posts,

12:11

pictures of food on my Instagram.

12:13

Josh and I both like to go to dinner early.

12:15

We like to eat with the blue hairs around five, 530, and we dine and dash and dash immediately.

12:21

We are. So we want to get in and get out.

12:25

My oldest son, Dylan, when he went off to college,

12:28

he went to dinner with friends and like right after the food, he was ready to go.

12:32

It's like getting stuck. So when he came home, he said, You know, I realize going to dinner

12:37

with other people, like they sit and stay at the table, sit

12:41

and have a conversation. Jennifer, you have got to get pumped.

12:45

Some snacks in your office.

12:47

That is Mira. Thank you. Is it believable?

12:52

Like, I mean, like that is, like, amazing to me that you don't have,

12:58

like, a crack or a peanut, a fruit bowl.

13:02

Now, I don't nosh.

13:05

She she doesn't snack. She has a strict no snacking policy.

13:09

I don't snack and I don't want it around because I would.

13:12

Eat. It. So I just so if I'm going to suffer,

13:16

every motherfucker that enters Jennifer wants designs is going to suffer.

13:19

Just. As much gluten free bread stop

13:26

if you're going to not disease.

13:29

So like if you have that, that's different. But like four, nine times out of ten,

13:34

you don't have they're like the regular bread.

13:37

Bad tippers. The worst

13:42

protesters at drag brunches had it.

13:45

People want to dress in drag, go to brunch, let them do it.

13:49

Don't even get me started. You care? I paused there for a second because this is something that

13:54

really fucking pisses me off because you all of a sudden

13:59

fox or somebody you know, one of these nutjob news organizations

14:03

does something about drag queens, and now everybody's going bananas.

14:08

That drag queens is a huge threat to society.

14:12

And I'm not. I don't know everything. But I'll tell you what I do now.

14:16

I do know that the Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts need,

14:20

I go on, are far more dangerous places for children

14:24

than a fucking drag show like this is in the record,

14:29

the criminal record that this these are not safe places for children.

14:33

It is infuriating because I love drag.

14:37

I love drag. I think I. Love drag queens. I love it, too.

14:42

And so if you don't want your kids to be around drag queens.

14:46

Don't do a drag show.

14:48

It's well within your control. Whether your child goes to a drag show or not. Yes.

14:53

Here's another one. Smoothies had it.

14:56

I like a smoothie. Smoothies. I like a smoothie.

14:59

I'm kind of a I could never have a smoothie as my meal supplement.

15:05

I could. But like, you also have an office with no snacks.

15:09

So it does not surprise me that that is your camp.

15:12

Yeah. One Mara zero.

15:16

Jay Well, that was fantastic. Just for you.

15:19

This because of all the shit I'm getting about the snacks, I will.

15:24

Never. Ever, ever purchase snacks for this office.

15:28

And if I happen to have a soft feeling towards my employees

15:32

that are here full time and then Pops is supposed to come here to do a podcast,

15:36

I will secretly remove and hide the snacks because she will never walk

15:42

into this office. And just on principle, because you just been

15:46

I mean, this is like you're calling me out on this nonstop.

15:49

I thought that a lot of people would support it, but apparently I'm just alone on Asshole Island, Mother's Day brunch.

15:55

And here's why. Yeah. Okay. I've given birth.

16:00

My whole innards have come out to deliver a child,

16:05

and now my reward is scrambled eggs.

16:09

Right. And that doesn't even go into the fact that you've got to dress the kid.

16:13

You've got to dress yourself, you've got to go make them act appropriately during that lunch.

16:20

They can't scream. They can't yell. Everybody wants to talk about, Oh, we're so happy you're the mother.

16:25

Yak, yak. I'm like, do me a favor for Mother's Day.

16:27

Take these little fuckers somewhere where I'm not.

16:31

Yeah. For the whole day. And if you really want to celebrate for an overnight.

16:37

This is the best mother's Day gift that you can give a mother.

16:40

Leave her the fucking great.

16:43

And leave. Her the fucking and let her watch Netflix.

16:46

Let her do whatever the fuck she wants to get the children,

16:49

remove them from the house and go entertain them.

16:52

Mother's Day. Get the fuck away from me. Right. That's the best gift you could give a.

16:55

Mother 100%. Listen up to all of these men. Why? Why?

17:00

Why? Like you'll see it every single year when.

17:04

When all the like marketing arrives for Mother's Day,

17:08

it's all Let's take Mom to brunch.

17:11

And it's just like, Why? Like, what is this?

17:14

Like, who decided that this is what moms want? So.

17:17

So this is. Something what we touch on almost with every episode. Reset.

17:20

Who decided this about brunch Sunday?

17:23

We're talking about it all the time as there is very little oversight on all of this shit that goes down.

17:28

Somebody somewhere decided brunch was going to be a thing,

17:32

bottomless mimosas were going to be a thing.

17:34

They were going to start trotting them out, cramming them down everybody's throat.

17:38

Mother's Day brunch was going to be a thing. If you don't take your mom to brunch, you're a fucking asshole.

17:42

I want. That. Where's the. Oversight?

17:45

Where did we get devote all this shit is happening around us

17:49

all the time, and there's zero oversight on any of it.

17:53

Nobody ever are using this. Our Sunday Funday.

17:56

Everybody's running around on Sunday Funday.

17:58

Let me. I want to. I want to pull pull everybody in this room.

18:04

Maris had it with Sunday panty pumps. You used the word Sunday. Monday?

18:07

No, not necessarily like you had. It with the Great Sunday Funday.

18:11

Probably. Had it. Okay, Jen Neeley, how do you all feel about the brace Sunday Funday?

18:17

I love Sunday Funday.

18:19

You do? Well.

18:21

We love brunch. We love bottomless mimosas.

18:26

We love drag brunch.

18:28

The only brunch that I can really get behind is the drag brunch.

18:32

Drag brunch. So you all like to do everything that everyone else.

18:36

So obviously, we're the majority. 3 to 1 three to tell.

18:39

You you're the minority. I'd say I don't use the term Sunday funday, but I enjoy.

18:45

It's a fun Sunday

18:48

and a fun Sunday is is having a long, long.

18:52

Brunch like we'll do like dinners with friends for like three or 4 hours.

18:55

Oh, my gosh. That's my worst. That's my worst nightmare.

18:58

Would you go to dinner with friends for 3 to 4 hours?

19:01

Yes, I would have a beer.

19:04

I think I have to. Say, I think that's more.

19:07

Civilized. I think it's more normal

19:09

if somebody invites me to dinner and the start time is around 7:30 p.m..

19:13

I'm an immediate no no. Last time our producers were in town, our friend Bogey that owns

19:18

all of these restaurants in Oklahoma City, he was like, Hey, they're here.

19:21

There's this new Mexican restaurant opened by you all.

19:24

Let's go there. So we go at like he said, You have to get there early.

19:29

You have to get there at like five, 530 to get a table.

19:32

And I'm like, I'm your favorite. I'm down with the blue hair dinner.

19:35

That's perfect. So we go, It's full.

19:38

There's an hour long wait.

19:41

And if you look two doors down, there's a place and it says Pizza bar.

19:45

So I immediately adjust right?

19:47

And I say, okay, this places an hour.

19:49

Wait, I'm not so I can do in that this place is open and has tables.

19:54

Let's go eat there. Josh Wealth is immediately in agreement with me.

19:57

Immediately we go down, we sit down, we have menus.

20:00

Well, Jenna Neely and Brian Bogut

20:03

and Tanner are like, No, we want to go to the Mexican restaurant.

20:06

Josh Welch says, Here's the deal.

20:09

Y'all can go do that and you can change it from a six top to a four top.

20:12

But we're not waiting. This place is open. We're eating here.

20:15

So we eat. There they go down there, they wait, they get their table.

20:20

Then the next day I was like, Brian, was it good? Did you like it?

20:22

He said, Yeah, I think they said like, if you have to get a table,

20:25

you need to get there before. And I said, Perfect.

20:29

That's where go fucking perfect.

20:31

4 p.m. dinner. One thing I love, like about this daylight savings thing,

20:36

I don't feel like such a fucking loser. Put my pajamas on at 5:30 p.m.

20:40

It's dark. It is not fun.

20:42

It be starting take dark at 430.

20:44

I mean, it's just I tell you, who suffers the most on daylight Savings

20:48

time are mothers of young children.

20:52

I totally greens. I remember those remember when our kids were little and we were

20:57

oh it was horrible. As we establish in episode one, our toddlers were total fucking assholes,

21:02

so it was cool. And also, you establish that like, I love that because you also establish

21:07

as mothers, like we did listening to that, we didn't feel alone

21:12

counting down the minutes to your toddler going to bed

21:17

and. It's like starting at 5:00. I remember the clock started going backwards, you know,

21:22

it was like, Take us so much longer because I I've got 3 hours.

21:25

I can do it three more hours, three more hours. But also had it with babies and restaurants

21:31

that if you're not prepared and you let that kid

21:34

run wild, well, you can fuck off Then get that kid.

21:38

You're a baby on a plane. You have no choice. That baby is on that plane.

21:42

There's nothing you can do. It's awful. A restaurant.

21:45

I have a really huge fucking problem with because I can't tell you how many times.

21:50

We'd. Load up, go to dinner. One of our kids would start screaming.

21:53

Josh would immediately pick the child up, leave the restaurant.

21:57

He'd say, Get out, would convert to boxes.

21:59

And then we ate the meal at home because we had an awareness

22:04

about how annoying it was to the other people that were out here.

22:08

My two biggest pet peeves about the baby. Obviously

22:12

you're in Georgia, so football is a big deal for you.

22:15

We're in Oklahoma on the big deal for us, going to the first game of the season

22:20

that is 110 degrees in the shade and people have these.

22:26

Teeny. Tiny babies like less than three months.

22:30

And I'm like, you think that baby wanted to get AB

22:33

And can a 210 degree heat with people screaming

22:37

and then they've got the big headphones on the baby

22:40

and it's like you're making that baby miserable, sit your ass at home

22:44

or get a babysitter. It ain't heart like there's been so.

22:47

Much engagement with you moms.

22:49

It's it's so sorry.

22:52

People have gotten really weird.

22:54

But that I think like when we were babies, like parents just didn't give a shit.

22:59

They smoked cigarets around you.

23:01

They didn't like with seatbelts on you.

23:04

It was just like they just threw you down in the basement.

23:07

And now people are like so hypersensitive that they want to bring their babies everywhere.

23:13

And it's just I agree. I've seen these kids at sporting events and concerts.

23:19

You know, it's even grosser, a baby at a music festival.

23:23

Agree? That's more. Okay.

23:25

My one thing that I'm hugely have a problem with people in their kids

23:29

like I'm very sensitive because I've had three kids that act shitty in a target.

23:33

You know, if you see a mom and she's got a baby screaming, crying, whatever,

23:38

but it's when they have both parents

23:41

at like the store shopping

23:44

and the two kids are out of control, I'm like, There's two adults.

23:48

Somebody should have stayed home with the kid.

23:50

Yeah, like the family grocery shop

23:53

to me with toddlers is fucking ridiculous.

23:57

Yeah. We never took our kids to the grocery store.

24:00

That ever. That's a complete lie. We you and I would.

24:03

That's a total like in like we would take the whole crew.

24:06

Yeah, we were Yeah. We would load up and we would take those kids to that gym toddler gymnastics.

24:13

Right. And your petri dish, the white suburban right.

24:15

And then we went to the Macias pizza buffet because it was immediate gratification.

24:20

Right? And then we'd go to Target.

24:22

We were ahead with the fucking kids. I have done that before in a target

24:27

where my son was little and screaming and I pretended

24:31

I didn't know whose baby

24:34

I don't know who is that?

24:36

Somebody left their kid. Well, I want.

24:39
