Podcast hosts apologize for laughing at Charlie Kirk joke after sponsor withdrawals

Statement released on Instagram

The hosts shared their regret on the I've Had It podcast Instagram account. They stated that laughing at the comment was wrong regardless of political differences. The specific joke involved reading a post about digging up Charlie Kirk after the 2026 midterm results. That segment has since been cut from the episode but was reshared online.

Sponsors pull support quickly

Cash App announced on Friday that it is no longer a sponsor of the show. The company wrote on X that it does not condone violence of any kind. Chewy issued a statement asserting that it neither sponsors nor supports the podcast. Both companies said the hosts comments do not reflect their values as organizations.

Donation to gun safety group

Welch and Sullivan donated money to Everytown for Gun Safety in response to the backlash. They described the organization as the largest gun violence prevention organization in America. The hosts said they will keep using their platforms to fight for American safety.
