Thirst Trapping Moms with Elle Duncan

Jennifer and Pumps are joined today by Elle Duncan, ESPN anchor and host of the Elle Duncan Show. The three discuss the myth that it is the work-life balance and what Elle hopes the future for black women in journalism can look like. Pumps and Elle bond over a common love of softball while Jennifer gets absolutely railed for her “sport” of choice.

I'm extremely pleased to let Jane and Dolly know that Leg Warmers are in fact back in fashion!

[@javidomo9119]

Jennifer: is this a Fox News crowd? Pumps: ……….👁️👄👁️…… I’m dead! 😂

[@palesamofokeng5711]

It's like a light lightbulb moment

[@Lyposuction]

Pumps being the sports loving lesbian we all love and deserve, god bless you Diana

[@umeshvaghjiani822]

Being alone is so under rated. I am single and absolutely love it. I don't have to answer to anyone and I can just live my life and do my own thing. I am happy for those who want relationships, everyone should be happy for me!

[@lifeofla5974]

I am a 20 year old college student and you ladies I literally saving my life every day. I have to a hour commute every day I turn on your podcast and you guys are like my besties thank you queens

[@debkosteniuk5326]

Just got home after three weeks in hospital....I live alone and the glory of solitude after three weeks imprisoned next to someone who will not shut up is something I don't have the verbage to express. Loved your guest, she was glorious. Jennifer, my friend Alec is a medal winning pickleball player like you, and I shut down his conversations about this "sport" every chance I get. Keep up your good work, I can't tell you how much I missed your podcast while in hospital and how much I enjoyed binging on it when I got home.

[@dorothywright5094]

Glad you are home! I am binge watching while sick at home/working from home

[@tamyraa88]

Excellent episode! Elle is quick, hilarious and brilliant. Easily one of my favorite guests. Love yall for continuing to broach these conversations.

[@ooscardls]

Elle delivery at 44:42 was emaculate. Like saying the joke with a straight face and then explose in laughter. That segment had me dying from laughing

[@user-is3ue7mp7o]

As the originator of Princess Diangela, Kiley made my WHOLE life with the shoutout

[@TheeTage]

Thanks for my Tuesday chuckle Jane and Dolly 🤣🫶🏾

[@palesamofokeng5711]

I love how much more SAns I'm seeing here

[@dejavudoo93]

Elle Duncan makes me wanna watch sports now 😂 She is so amazing, I’m so glad y’all have introduced me to her 🖤

[@brandonheyward4022]

Yo. Elle’s opening monologue was some REAL SHIT! Go her!

[@stephaniegonzalez3924]

Oh gosh I freaken loved when Elle Duncan let it rip with the I’ve had it with the pickleball! She freaken made my day!! Love you girls

[@senticles]

To be fair, Jennifer did not know that Elle Duncan’s tongue is made of 100% cold stainless steel when she brought up pickle ball.

[@siegejohnson]

Y’all have quickly rose to my favorite pod! Been stuck on some business travel this past week and have made it through roughly a third of your episodes in the last week 🤭 my favorite (justified) bitter betties

[@jcancer2011]

1:54 full transparency I’m on an edible at the moment. I rewind back to this part twice because “Are they educated” just sent me!! 😂😂

[@dancerinthedarklight4762]

Another great episode. The chemistry is perfect.

[@jenm6977]

I've had it with You tube reading my mind, knowing exactly which episode I need to listen to that day. Amazing! 🎉

[@nathanielhansen7835]

I did not know who Elle Duncan was, but now I want to! One of the best episodes

[@paigemharris11]

I didn’t know who Elle was before this and now I love her. This might be my favorite episode!

[@debilarge]

I totally agree with Pumps. I was way more lonely married than I have been since my divorce. I'm head over heels with me, and I don't think anyone else can live with me anymore.

[@sethkamon]

Ladies, y’all have done it again! I’m crying laughing over here!!! ❤❤

[@HighVibe001]

So well said @30:38 I'm now a fan of Elle Duncan!!

[@michele1491]

Husband was on a flight with Jaime Lee Curtis and a man made some comment to her to the effect that she looks younger in photos. Unbelievable.

[@tiah1927]

Holy shit

[@sally4026]

Hi from Ireland, love this podcast and agree with Pumps that I'll never share my living space with anyone ever again! At 54 and single for 4 years after 18 years of marriage and two kids flown the nest... the peace is sacred!

[@runawaygareth]

I love being alone and living by myself (with my CAT 😂). I'm 36 and I love my own company more than ever. Love you ladies so much. ❤

[@shabeehasim3748]

i LOVE the “uh huh!” sound Pumps makes when she hears something shocking or rude! it’s priceless

[@Sumthingabouther]

The guest lineup has been IMMACULATE!!!

[@tuneaddicted]

Jen and Angie, you are amazing, very intelligent and educated. Thank you!

[@jaelo2314]

OMG! I am going to listen to this at least 4 times! What a high-energy love fest! Elle, you are nonstop fun to listen to. You have the perfect "straight men" (sorry) to keep it going.

[@arizonawildcat]

elle was so proud of her pickleball joke, was cracking up before she even finished talking. crossover i didn’t know i needed edit to add: if y’all want another sports media giant to talk to that i assume JJD loves i think it would be a blast to watch holly rowe shit talk with y’all

[@kellyhauber7891]

Another great episode. Time flies when watching it.

[@azayas916]

I've been looking forward to this all week 😊🎉

[@kaseybrown4665]

You ladies are the best thing I’ve found since I moved to western Oklahoma from Los Angeles (can you say fucking CULTURE SHOCK 😳) I think we might need to move closer to OKC lol if there are more people like you two❤❤❤

[@amandamccay209]

Petition to get Judge Judy on the show!!!

[@johnpaulsen207]

This was one of the best podcast episodes I’ve watched in the last few years. Damn, funny, thoughtful and thought provoking. Bravo!

[@carnalproductions3918]

That would make Kilie Lily Tomlin and that totally makes sense! You all need to do 9 to 5 for Halloween

[@umeshvaghjiani822]

Kiley LOL. She was right , no one call spell her name haha

[@paulwilson7753]

I live in New England and Elle was a sportscaster for our regional channel. She was my favorite and I was excited when she got called up to ESPN because clearly she was a star. However when Kobe Bryant died suddenly she did two things that have bothered me to this day. One, she coined the phrase 'girl mom' which has worn out it's welcome quicker than a gender reveal party. On a more serious note, she also helped continue galvanize his image while ignoring the fact that he was credibly accused of rape. Now she was far from the only one doing it so I would never hold her fully responsible. She was a small part of an entire industry that wasn't just reporting facts in a tragic accident but willfully adding to a legend of a person who had a very disturbing past that he never acknowledged or atoned for. I'm singling her out because of how much I used to admire her work. Whenever I see her now I can't help my mind from going back to that moment of time and how much it upset me. Fair or not, she is the to me figurehead of that moment and how media continues to fail victims of sexual assault, police brutality, and other assorted horrors. She talked about her and Kobe being parents of girls and as she was saying that I was wondering about the mother of the woman he raped and the victim herself. How must they have felt about all of the wonderful things being said about him after what he idi to their family? About how great and kind and nice and caring he was while the things said about that family were vile and he did nothing while he was alive to dissuade people from saying those things. I'm not a parent but I cannot fathom how devastated I'd be if I heard those things about him being such a great girl dad if he had done that to my daughter. Again, not blaming Elle for something Kobe did but it's something that has stayed on my mind this entire time. I encourage you all to read an article by Monica Hesse in the Washington Post entitled 'The Stories We Tell About Kobe Bryant.' It does a far better and more thorough job of saying what I have been trying to express.

[@chandlerj10]

Great guest! So enjoyable!

[@nickiegoldinhart]

One of the best emergency alert message stories is about a group of Amish people got in trouble & shunned for having cell phones because they didnt mute their phones & the alert went off while they were in church or something. 😂

[@Justin-925]

Jane and Dolly! Does that mean Lily Tomlin (Kiley) is producing?! Sounds like a hit to me! 😂❤

[@MsMak03]

A hit!

[@suzannerovers6918]

Fantastic episode yet again. Keep them coming, and keep spreading the right messages ❤

[@johnpyke6126]

Here's to those "pockets of sophistication in red states"! From a Chicago geezer male, you two are fighting the good fight against ignorance.

[@charlielusamba5182]

Elle duncan is one my fav. Nicely done Jane & dolly

[@noradurst5317]

Absolutely the best episode ever, loved it!

[@OmegaDelta82]

Blasphemy!! She is forever Pumps!!! ❤

[@ryaaannnn]

Thank you all for keeping the message alive!

[@Starrgazed]

I love you all. Please keep it up 💗

[@christinewilliams6286]

Omg this episode is what I needed as a working mom. I work I train mma I model and I have to be the mom doing everything perfect. You see these other moms doing everything at the school it gets hard. And it’s true the saying of work life balance is crap!!! Love yal!!❤

[@xaviersimon4082]

My my my I've really grown to love these two after watching the pod with Katya. xoxo remember god is always watching!

[@Keyshaw30]

I love Elle; She used to be on radio in Atlanta!!

[@lenadoux1]

Love this episode. Thanks for the laughs

[@kaseybrown4665]

Preach!!! I’d pay actual money to take a bath alone!!!

[@RasberrySage]

I relish seeing the love these hosts have for each other☺

[@emilykawaii123]

Regarding the bit about solitude, I think it comes down to how optional it is. If you don't have a solid community of friends, family, coworkers, etc, loneliness is very burdensome. It3s much more appealing when you know that you could meet up with a friend or expect your spouse to come home at some point

[@devindaniels8871]

Omg i loved this episode so much!!! The power moms 🤣🤣🤣 ive had it

[@valeking5993]

What a fun and effortless episode, ladies. Adored her! She is so damn funny!

[@phdgirl2016]

I loved this episode - especially Elle's recognition of her privilege as a lighter, racially ambiguous women who will see rooms that a slew of Black women will not. I also want to gently challenge the ask that other people in liberal and social justice spaces "don't write off" supportive and open minded white folks. I agree, to an extent, and if this is a message for non-marginalized peoples. I don't think this messaging should be targeted at marginalized groups in social justice, liberal spaces. They in particular, have a right to leave rooms, and even interrogate rooms - even if filled with well meaning people. I am a Black professor at a PWI, and this is a central part of the conversations I have in the classroom - what allyship requires is discomfort and even space for rage, critique, and grievance.

[@snarkyandsane]

Ladies…please use this fabulous platform to continually encourage people to register to vote and then to actually vote. You’ve probably already thought about doing this….but please be the Taylor Swift of podcasting. BTW, Jen gets to be Taylor because she’s hot and has long blonde hair. Love to all you ladies. ❤❤❤

[@aquariusmoon3901]

Such a good episode!

[@jeffyoung4078]

Pumps is such a treasure. I feel like I would enjoy her company.

[@mummer7337]

Pumps looks extra incredible this episode!

I have lived in Oklahoma all my life and now have found in my senior twilight years, being alone is the only way to stay sane and safe in MAGA Oklahoma.

[@MrThefrederic]

Elle Duncan is absolutely stunning...wow

[@kathleenphillips7145]

I believe those who love their own company and are secure enough to never be lonely because they can choose to be around others if they want to but not afraid to be comfortable in their own skin.

[@kdholden]

What logical human being believes that the emergency alert will make you into a Zombie!?!!

SHE SAID THE THING, between 33:00-33:34 she said the thing that parents especially in southern USA have said about our community affairs . If you know you know & are of certain age.

[@andreablanch]

Agree, being alone is awesome.

[@Sumthingabouther]

Also when did Jane Fonda start playing pickle ball?

[@tiah1927]

I agree about thick skin, I think when people call for death…. That’s when I’m like…. Okay, too far.

I love this podcast so much. As someone who loves Jesus but isn’t absolutely insane with judgement and hypocrisy, and believes in the separation of church and state, I applaud and THANK you for shitting on crazy christians. Particularly in politics. They make me sick and they are genuinely not even in line with the Bible.
