Plumbers and Swingers

[@As-friendly-as-I-get]

My mother grew up in a time when most of her peers didn't even go to high school (born 1932). A lot of them got married quite young. My grandfather was ahead of his time. She and her sisters not only went to high school, they had to leave home to do it. She and two of her siblings finished high school and went on to higher education. She became a teacher. Then she got married and had me and my two sisters in less than two years. After she was married, she no longer worked and intended to stay home and raise us on the farm. When I was eight months old, my father died in an accident. She became a widow with three under three at 26 years old. We lived in a rural area with no employment opportunities for unskilled labor. If her father hadn't encouraged and supported my mother's getting an education and a career, we would have ended up living in poverty. Being a "traditional" wife is fine, but life happens. Out of the four women in my family, three of us are widows. My dad was almost 30, and my brother-in-law was 46. So, the best-laid plans and all that.8

[@sandralamphier9433]

My dad had bipolar disease. Even when your man doesn’t die young, I learned young that you couldn’t necessarily rely on a man to take care of you. 🤔 A woman needs to be able to take care of herself and her kids! 💪

65 year old guy from the UK here. Probably not your audience demographic.. Currently lying on my sofa getting over COVID!!. Living on throat lozenges, cough medicine and a good single malt. So scrolling through KZbin and I discovered you lady's. Spent around 6 hours binge watching you, constantly laughing. Thanks for the phrase " Sagging Dragons" I'll take my life in my hands later and ask my lady friend how her Sagging Dragons are. Keep fighting the good fight ladies. It's an unusual thing to find some common sense coming out of America these days.

[@sempressfi]

Ahhh love when us Brits and Americans stumble on each other and get to have a moment of "holy crap there's sane people across the pond still" 😂 I barely got caught up on all the Tory drama that broke over holidays and now all the UK podcasts and news people I follow are blowing my notifications up about the post office, I haven't waded in to figure out what happened yet but from the headlines gather it's somewhere along the lines of the Mone/PPE scandal but on steroids Here's to 2024, general elections, and us getting both our right wing parties to stfu and sit down until they can act right again! 😆🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@RealBradMiller]

23: 20 I had a dog named Karl, and lived in a place with a lot of retired people... One night I was calling for him, telling him dinner was ready, and someone called the police because they thought someone had gone missing. 😂

[@mitzara25]

😂😂😂 oh God, what a situation straight out of a movie haha

[@miaa7097]

I laughed out loud 🤣🤣🤣

[@silva7493]

I'm 68 years old and I've lived my whole life in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I learn so much from these two ladies from OK, it just blows my mind.

[@AliceP.]

I love the car in the driveway story. I'd love to be bold enough to solve problems like that. Here in my country we have a saying that translates something like "with mad people, you just gotta be mad and a half".

[@cherylaustintx]

So glad that I found you girls. At 74, I am now adding new profanity to my vocabulary. Fuck you was getting way over used. I am sharing your KZbin channel with everyone I know.❤

[@kokohead333]

me too 💙🌀

[@UsernamesForDummies]

I so enjoy commenting on this channel. I can finally swear in the comment section with complete abandon. In real life, people always think I’m so cultured and polished and when I know them better and restrain my potty mouth instincts less, they’re always shocked. Ahhh the little pleasures!

[@MsRachelrob]

Cannot get over the audacity of Charlotte’s dad! I once rescued a 9 year old dog whose name was Brody. I happened to also have a 9 year old son whose name was Brody. Now THAT was confusing. But we all figured it out and in the end both the kid and the dog ignored my calls. As God intended.

[@sempressfi]

😂😂 we had a dog named General after General Ulysses S Grant when my spawn was born and after a few months I finally settled on Grant as a name because it's uncommon but not "quirky"/weird lol sometimes General Grant the Dog would come up to ppl if they started playing with Grant the Spawn and baby talking his name and he'd look at them like, "I didn't do sht!" because when he would get into stuff or be crazy like only Jack Russell's can be, we'd yell "General US Grant!" 😂😆

[@RobertSchantz]

Recently discovered you. I love your voices and putting hypocrisy on full display. And to the lady who wanted you to be quiet, you can tell her to just eff off and don’t listen if she has an issue. Keep up the great work. ❤❤

[@Lalaundercover389]

First clap of the year❤ Happy new year ladies

[@craigblyth]

And what a clap to start the year off with! Crisp, cool, and efforess 😘🤌🏻 chefs kiss

[@kmc3851]

Isn’t that what thanksgiving is all about. Let the Plummer come!

[@KDdevidasi]

The algorithm introduced me to 'I've Had It' and I've been binging episodes during the holiday content gap. You sound like you're complaining, but you're actually doling out wisdom and laughter. Love it!

[@Harry-hq8fi]

These gals are just not just eye candy but they are a fantastic threat to the simple minded and mouth breathing Neanderthals among us. I love it 😂😂😂. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cthululuu]

Hooooly shit “they were just dragons back then, full on kaleesi shit” is the funniest fucking thing they’ve said so far in my opinion

[@cindypoole6792]

Great teaching moment for human Charlotte to NOT go in a strangers home.

[@jasmeen7950]

Happy new year from The Hague🎊🎊

[@andrewboccaleoni7369]

About that comment when somebody said they don’t like you calling us listener!!! I love when you call us listener because to me it’s like you’re just talking to me personally. It makes it so much better in my opinion!!😇

[@UsernamesForDummies]

The Trad Wife story: what if you find out that you can’t bear children? You will have lost all your life’s purpose. I bet he’ll leave you, too, since your role was basically to be a servant and an incubator and you’re not working as planned.

[@myohotim]

Who lets a 2yr old out unaccompanied!!! That's the question here.

[@GSC1ark]

I love the second dog with the wife's name.

[@gabcohen]

More episodes like this!! More internet stories and chat. These are the best kind of episodes, please please please

[@ElliottsLuxury]

Those saggin' draggin's were flopping everywhere. Pumps is naturally flirtatious. It's a southern thang. Plumbers need love too.

[@PriyaaanshuThakur]

Lmao love this comment

[@deanallen927]

Love you ladies. Funny and honest.

[@kokohead333]

Thank you ladies! Always fabulous! Species Supremacist - hilarious!

[@glshay4340]

The mom who’s teaching her 5 yr old to be a traditional wife will, in 10 yrs time, be the mom of a teenager. Teenagers not 5 yrs old anymore developmentally assert that message in any number of surprising ways. Mom could also be unintentionally raising a fierce rebel 🤣

[@Kike_mv]

I had the episode in background and I turned around when Kylie was talking and for a moment a thought why does she have a soup on the table?😂 btw I died with the story of pumps and the plumber with red lobster 😂 omg

[@thesquirrelyprepperlifesty5523]

Happy New Year!

[@cindytermuende7597]

35:59 the plumber wanted to unclog her and snake her drain

[@Sound22001]

HAPPY NEW YEAR ❤🎈🎈and hugs and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@miss_piggyy]

Love reading the Reddit stories! More episodes like this please

[@muiawat]

This was a good star ⭐️ episode ! No filler !

[@jaygatz4335]

"My plumber has a heart of 24 karat gold." I bet he also had a great plumber's crack on display. That's what clinched (clenched?) the deal.

[@leannageyer943]

I’m right there with you on gum smacking!! Used to work with a girl who smacked her gum everyday. We were in a small office of 6 people and it drove the rest of us CRAZY !! One day, I just HAD IT!!! I went up to her with a napkin and told her to spit her gum out, she did, I put it in her trash can and told her she was making the rest of us nuts. Her boss thanked me, my boss thanked me and that ended her smacking ! Didn’t stop her chewing gum but at least we didn’t have to listen to it anymore.

[@TiffanyDion]

swinging in the suburbs

[@Narlynaarr]

My mother will invite anyone who doesn’t have a family to celebrate with to our holiday gatherings. She makes my brother, my husband and myself ask if any of our friends or acquaintances have a place to go. She even will make sure they have a gift at Christmas dinner. Regardless if people are family or not everyone should have the opportunity to have human connection at the holidays. ❤

[@lauraholzler1417]

This is the tradition in our house too.

[@sandralamphier9433]

We always had at least 1 or 2 people (usually from our church) that didn’t have family at our Thanksgiving dinner. Mostly older women. But my mom would have invited a street person if there had been any such in our neighborhood!

[@youbeccabelieveit]

if your daughter doesn't know not to go into someone else's house just because they said her name that's a bigger issue.

[@randr302]

My dogs name is charlotte, we call her charlie pooh bear.LOVE your podcast ladies.

[@jenniferquezada4075]

I think the thanksgiving guy wants the plumber to unclog his drain 😂

[@castoputa]

Also you’ve gained 10k subs in a few days! Congratulations! You two are all that is holding my sanity together in this world ❤

[@casedillab1504]

Yall I have a good “I’ve had it”…people who do not drive the speed limit. Like is it just me or does this grind anyone else’s gears? I don’t need everyone to speed like me, but please go at least the speed limit! If not get the hell out of the way! My gps doesn’t calculate for idiots going 15 under the limit! The only time you’ll catch me having road rage is when this shit happens! Love you ladies!!!

[@anthonyleem89]

on my day off from a happily grueling schedule at my cousin's bubble tea cafe in boulder, and laughing my ass off in bed, polishing off her household's last remaining bottle of sake, thereby taking my mind off my sad, dependent state of affairs, and thankful for this excellent episode of i've had it. one of the best, or at least the only drunkenly consumed, episodes of this marvelous chit chat session between the tantalizing titans of titty-baby-taunting tias of oklahoma city.

[@1BSDjunkie]

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that’s amorè ❤

[@justgreat79]

I literally had to block an irate parent from following a ref into the locker room during a Christmas Basketball tourney last week so he could beat him up. Sir, how dare you turn this grumpy English teacher into a bouncer. I got 8 yrs to retirement and get paid less than 50 thousand and now I gotta act like I'm an extra in Roadhouse 'cause your daughter got fouled. No sir, no ma'am. Team could barely get 40 pts on the board and he's huffin and puffin on a weekday.

[@lgannawa]

Pumps is the highlight but the entire ensemble is the ticket. Also, is Pimps losing weight? As always, looking gorgeous ladies (and gentleman).

[@rachele8380]

pumps got her hair done!! so cute

[@kmc3851]

Is that ‘mom’ congresswoman Marjory Green?

[@llcooljay520]

I announce sports at a local high school and university. Parents are literally the worst. EVERY YEAR we play our rivals in JV GIRLS BASKETBALL some opposing parent has to cuss out the official. Also, that team always wins.

[@robinfisher2103]

Love your show, watching from the UK London.

[@MrSterlingg]

I was about to get upset with you ladies til you quoted the guy saying the plumber excites him. Teehee. Awe. 😛😍

[@violabeth]

I bet Jens friend (Betsy?) was impressed meeting Pumps for the first time in her birthday suit.

[@J.M.-nb4gw]

I know I would be impressed 😁

[@abnormalizeit]

The Tomahawk Chop is so offensive holy shit.

[@morganpricx]

best part of tuesday 😌

[@breannabetarie6735]

Regarding the topic of refs and parents thinking their kid is the next star……all I can do here is send a sincere thank you to my mother. I was (and still am) a very skilled singer….(like -could’ve had a chance at fame and stardom) My mom used to say: “you aren’t the next Britney Spears, read a book” 😂

[@leahl71]

Okay !! ❤ hey ladies so I’m needing let you know, firstly from Australia listening, my daughter 12 and me have our thing pumps it’s the 1,2,3, clap. We do it with you every time and sometimes in public, people must think we weird, don’t care , then we go on and listen well I do 😂, thanks always fantastic podcast 🎉

[@guaitxican]

Jennifer Welch, I know you've had it with horoscopes but you cannot say "first and foremost let's get back to me" 1:17 and deny you're a Leo

[@dopedindisarray]

love you guys

[@sarahbleckman5199]

Pumps Red Lobster is a nice restaurant 😂

[@roxanneandrew530]

Oh yes, nothing worse than people chewing like a cow! I usually snap my fingers while observing the smackers mirroring their noise.

[@stevereber3358]

You all know about Jeri Ryan? Her congressman husband kept trying to get her to go to a swinger club, so she is at some restaraunt,crying her eyes out because she does not want to do it, He apparently thinks it is like a swap shop, and he can put in an 11+famous and select two tens from the pile. Did I mention her ex-husband WAS a congressman, all because he was too cheap to buy a pineapple.

[@kmc3851]

An efficient gum user! Hilarious

[@humblemonkm61]

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'... Italian plumbers are hot😮😂❤

[@HH-gv8mx]

Pumps is getting so thin it’s changing her lovely face!

[@thatscrewedprude8717]

Did she say her sons name is Roman? That happens to be my dogs name.... 😊

[@mariearteaga3056]

My dog's name is Raptor. I'd be VERY worried if someone named their kid that. That guy is insane.

[@tassi8925]

Yup, that was my dad, he wasn’t going to “babysit” the kids

[@notreallyacat]

I'm hoping that Adam Rippon is invited back! ♡

[@earldegrey]

Let’s hear more about Jennifer swinging 🫖

[@youbeccabelieveit]

I was bullied to tears by a few dads as a TWEEN umping a peewee softball game.

[@youbeccabelieveit]

like pls sir I'm getting paid $6/hr I'm not gonna go out of my way to read the rules

[@margaretgacki]

Can Jennifer Juniper Eccles do ASMR readings of bedtime stories please. 😁😎

[@danielmontgomery7972]

Gum? Really? Unbelievable… 🤦🏼‍♂️💭

[@Orbitinbloom19018]

I love these 21 year old woman

[@xaviersimon4082]

As an avid gum chewer for my anxiety I do have a tendency to pop my gum but I’ll always throw it out properly bc who tf

[@alexandriamacdonald9561]

Please invite drew afualo!!!!!!❤❤❤

[@nocurefordumb]

To the young lady who spoke about how horrid her boyfriend was during her baby's birth. Get rid of him fast. He is scary. He is going to treat you and your child badly. Don't do that to your child. He won't change.

[@gracelloyd3758]

Lmaooo my mom tried to raise my sisters and I to be traditional housewives and good Christian women. She’s 0 for 5 😂

[@iimvrii]

The story about Pumps meeting Betsy(?) for the first time butt ass naked with nary a fck in the world has uplifted my morning and spirit 😂😂 this level of fuckfreeness is what I aspire to be one day

[@margagomezcomedy]

Best clap

[@brandex2011]

About the "boyfriend" who criticized his "girlfriend" while she was giving birth. If men were the ones cursed with this painful chore, there would have been only *_one_* generation of human beings. (Edit: About the plumber. The guy should tell his wife the plumber's sad story, and if she has any heart at all, she would be glad to have the plumber for Thanksgiving...unless "I get excited when my toilet gets clogged" is a euphemism, and his three friends were absolutely *_NOT_* into getting their "toilets clogged... ) Also, why do I have to comment on every segment? You ladies have a knack for pulling people into your stories.

[@marymccracken6147]

Charlotte’s dad is a Kevin 😯

[@mrscramer21]

Episode should’ve been called Plumbers & Pineapples

[@pb_pb_pb_pb]

Omg that story about the partner of the woman giving birth… he sounds so awful

[@jamesha175]

SpongeBob SquarePants has a pineapple. he lives in it under the sea.

[@shellysara3934]

Jennifer Welch, I am deeply disturbed to hear you VICTIM BLAMING Pumps regarding this Plumber. 😂😂😂

[@Kwk16534]

When you really like someone and you don't know why it's because they were your friend in heaven

[@rochcarothers-ts3jx]

Buy him "Charlotte's Web" book :) THAT is what Thanksgiving is about!!

[@Oceanworld11]

I’m disappointed that Pumps didn’t get unplugged too…

[@jaelo2314]

Did anyone tell the traditional wifey that "traditional," like love, morphs into something reflective of the changing times? Helloooooo

[@Kwk16534]

She should have apologized and offered him money to move the car that would have solved the problem

[@PriyaaanshuThakur]

Okay i think it’s important to remember that sexuality is a spectrum and millions of people realise that they are not monosexual (attrated to one gender) Bisexuality itself exists on a spectrum and i am sure it’ll be great we don’t engage in bisexual erasure and biphobic rhetoric. I am sure you guys don’t mean any harm by it but i just wanted point this thing out! Xx happy new year.

[@ethanolson8500]

Pumps is looking more and more drop-dead gorgeous each episode! And that other one, Jessica, can kick rocks.

[@rjmorales4727]

hey guys don't hate me for this but could you fix Pumps' camera? it makes her look jaunish and I know it's the camera bc when guests sit on that chair it's the same problem.

[@gingernightmare9152]

What does your dentist say about chewing nicotine gum for 10 years???

[@justbecauseOK]

As someone who has to clean up stadiums after a Trump rally for a lousy wage....used gum is the least disgusting of my finds.

[@stevereber3358]

The guy who invited the plumber WTF? He is acting like it is his house? Doesn't he realize he works for the wife?

[@tanyasteers4802]

That is child abuse

[@teeni0608]

[@michaelwall2863]

It’s thanksgiving! Wtf feed the guy and thank him for coming to dinner. He may have sobered up and won’t show up anyway.

[@adamhand7119]

I'm terrified of what that beef jerky tongue is like after 9 years of chewing Nicotine gum. That can't be healthy. Much love to you in the winter of your lives.

[@vickycouturier]

1:23 gum and food smackers , it is so gross and the sound 😡

[@danzidae]

Boyfriend is a walking RED FLAG.....

[@adamorioncactus]

I would divorce the woman and marry the plumber
