On the November 5, 2026 episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast, hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan laughed for an extended stretch at a listener post joking about digging up Charlie Kirk. By November 7 the hosts had apologized on Instagram and five advertisers had distanced themselves from the show.

ProFocis does not like the joke and does not support it. We are not asking you to take our word for any of it: every claim on this page links to the outlet that reported it. The hosts apologized. The question left open belongs to the company that distributes the show and sells its ads. Where does it stand?
