Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan’s podcast I’ve Had It has risen up the charts and created a community with ‘a brand of [expletive deleted] politics’

When Donald Trump scheduled a press conference after a weekend in which rumors about his health swirled, two women in red-state Oklahoma launched a livestream for their more than 1 million followers on YouTube to speculate about the condition of “Cankles McTacoTits”, shortened to Canks “for expediency and spite”.

It was fitting for the profanity-laced, straight talking liberal podcast I’ve Had It that quipped, after interviewing Barack Obama, that the former president has “big dick energy”.

Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan have risen up the podcast charts, buoyed by Democrats looking to commiserate and find their party’s answer to the bro-filled atmosphere that helped propel Trump’s victory in 2024.

In Oklahoma City, in the upstairs of Welch’s design studio, the self-described “two middle-aged women in the buckle of the bible belt trying to stand up for democracy” pivot between recording their podcast – in early September, that meant interviewing the mayor of Los Angeles, promoting their new co-authored book, and catching up on life like the old friends they are. Welch tells Sullivan to get that vape out of her mouth. They talk about their kids, the ones who originally brought them together in the trenches of motherhood years ago.

This purple city in a deep red state is an unlikely spot for a rising voice on the left in new media. But as the left grapples for its counter to the rightwing media ecosystem, the two blonde suburban moms – who admit they look “Fox-coded” – offer one inroad. Across all platforms, they have several million followers, including 1.3m on YouTube and nearly 1m on Instagram. On the weekly Apple podcast charts...

Seriously, I live in NJ, I can just about get this chit anywhere.

But hey, can someone tell me why the democrats have lost men?

Cause these two look like they hit the Botox and are only mildly attractive until the second they start to speak.

I don't know about "locked up." I wish it was locked up.

I could go with "filled up." Or "topped off."

Yes. Women and queers can be the most evil, nasty, vicious, mean-spirited, backstabbing, backbiting, vindictive, slimy, dishonest creatures on the planet. Far worse than the worst "toxic masculinity" man. What they lack in physical strength, they make up for by trying harder.

Ladies of FR: You know bloody well I'm right. Don't whine.

Two “blonde suburban moms” are giving answer to the “rightwing media ecosystem”?
Who writes this nonsense?
Oh wait, its The far left lunatic The Guardian again.
No two blond moms are going to take out the increasingly powerful conservative media, who currently dominate in ratings on YouTube and on X.
