Welcome to episode 8 of JennaPod. It's your girl, jennifer. You know, the one from Fairfield. Who here listening is from Fairfield. What's going on? What is good? People, I am recording this Saturday, february 22nd. It is still cold and gloomy, but sun and warm temps in Nashville are on the horizon. Shout out to Matt Berger, who has listened to this podcast through iHeartRadio and he works for iHeartRadio Hashtag iHeartRadio. Go use them to listen to all of your iHeartRadio stuff.
Speaker 1:I hope everyone is doing okay. As you get older, you realize everyone is going through shit. It's a roller coaster out there. We all be doing our best and I hope I can bring some chuckles once a week to forget the dumpster fire that can be adulting. How is Amazon getting some products to my home within three hours of ordering? How it shocks me. Every time, love him or hate him, jeff Bezos is making me lazier by the day. Can younger generations comprehend not being able to order anything online because on the line didn't exist? I don't think I can remember at this point.
Speaker 1:I got into Kroger grocery delivery about two years ago and I have never taken more advantage of a program. Their Boost program costs $59 a year and you get next day delivery free and you only have to spend $35. I have Kroger at my home at least four days a week, kroger delivery needing their own gas points to keep up with the mileage to my home. Now I have three grocery stores within 0.8 miles of me. Don't you dare judge me. I have a Publix, an Aldi and a Kroger. But I don't like that Kroger. It has awful vibes and it's always chaotic. When I have to physically go to Kroger, I go to the fancy, nice Kroger in town, the one that has a Starbucks. No, it isn't out of my way. I pass it to and from the gym every day. Changing grocery stores gives me a mental breakdown. When we moved four years ago, I kept going to another Kroger by my old house because I didn't want to memorize a new Kroger. A non-memorized grocery store equals chaos in my brain. Call me quirky or call me special, but that's how I was made. My mother has access to my Kroger account and downloads coupons for me. Am I embarrassed by that? Nope, because I will never do that. She will text me like hey, make sure you go pick up your free product and you know what that's a mother's love and being an only child.
Speaker 1:I am an only child. I'm a left-handed only child. I am very close to my parents and enjoy hanging out with them. We lived in separate states for seven years, and I am very grateful that they moved their life from Ohio down to Tennessee and now live 2.8 miles from me. A lot of couples, when thinking of having a second child, will ask me for feedback, and I'm like well, I have zero perspective and being an only child rocked. Now.
Speaker 1:My personality takeaways from being an only child are I can't fight and argue and I'm a good friend. If I am yelled at or think you are mad at me, I will cry. No ifs, ands or buts. I will cry. I have no defense mechanism because I was alone. I didn't have a sibling beating the shit out of me, nor was I traumatizing a younger sibling. Now my cousin Megan and I are what I assume the closest thing to sisters are, but she lives up in Cleveland, ohio, which is very sad, makes me very sad, I will say, though, being an only child made me latch onto friends.
Speaker 1:My childhood best friend, reby, and I have been together for 35 years, whenever third grade started. I also keep up with nine other girlfriends from my hometown of Fairfield, ohio. And I'm not saying like social media, I'm talking like we be texting, visiting, like voice memo, video messages, all that. I've been told I'm really good at keeping friend relationships going and I am proud of that. About 15 years ago I had an idea for a company for companion services for older adults and maybe I should just do that for all ages, but for right now it's too cold and I've been hibernating all winter.
Speaker 1:Love is blind. Season eight is out. Let's go. I get excited. I love that shit. I love the pods when they meet, and then I'll get bored and then I will fast forward to the weddings to see who makes it. But I love crazy people. I would like to see the show with an older demographic of people in their 40s, 50s instead of late 20s and 30s. I just think people would be sassier and it would be damn good entertainment.
Speaker 1:Armageddon was on AMC last week. Shout out to my friend Josh, whom we log under his YouTube TV account, to the friends out there sharing streaming login information. You're the real ones. So also shout out to my friend Shannon, as I have my own account under her Hulu account. I watched about two-thirds of Armageddon and you know what Great one-liners Also got to watch that damn animal cracker scene and I said, oh no, right before it started. And why in the hell did Ben Affleck have to put the cookie down her underwear? It was weird, it wasn't sexy, it gave me the heebie-jeebies, even though Liv Tyler is stunning and Ben Affleck was really looking cute at the age of 25. Anyway, on Thursday the percent of the asteroid hitting the Earth in 2032 started going way down and I think by the time I'm recording it's like way down.
Speaker 1:I didn't touch on this last time, but why is the asteroid named YR4? That's boring. It's like the beginning of a license plate. Why aren't we going hurricane-esque names for potential city destroyers like Dave? Like Dave's going to hit the? According to the nhcnoaagov, since 1953, atlantic tropical storms have been named from the lists originated by the National Hurricane Center. They are now maintained and updated through a strict procedure by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization. So where can I join the International Name an Asteroid Committee? Because I also research why it's named YR4 and it's boring. According to ye olde Wikipedia, the first Y indicates the asteroid was discovered in the second half moon of December 2024. Okay, and the R4 indicates that it was the 117th provisional designation to be assigned to that half moon. What the fuck does that mean? Were there 116 other baby asteroids in the second half moon of December? I'm just saying Balls Johnson would be a better name of the giant rock heading to Earth.
Speaker 1:So I've discussed baby babes a lot on my podcast and for people asking if there's a theme, I guess that's what it is. If you are new to this podcast, you need to go back to episode five. And now I want to pivot and I want to talk about daddies and listen. If you are out there dating or married to a baby babe or a daddy, we are not here to shame, I will give you a high five. Let's just keep it legal, like over 18 years old. Anyway, we have the TV on and Pedro Pascal comes on and I say something to the effect of oh hey, daddy. My husband says, um, he's our age, and I think surely not. And I use the Google and Pedro Pascal is currently 49. So seven years older than me. It's not giving, daddy. My husband told me that for men, you can date someone half your age plus seven years. No idea where that data came from. Now I think Harrison Ford is a babe and he's 82. That's a super daddy. He's a granddaddy. I feel daddy is giving 20 years older than you energy.
Speaker 1:So I started looking up celebrities in their 60s. I mean billions, but I kind of narrowed it down. Johnny Depp it's a no for me. Keanu Reeves yes, 100. Tom Cruise no. Brad Pitt Hell yeah. Jim Carrey no. Tom Hanks no. Ma'am, eddie Murphy, he would make me laugh. Nick Cage Never. Steve Carell yes, he is looking super fine in his 60s with that silver hair. George Clooney Duh. Stanley Tucci he's so cute and I also feel no one can 100% confirm he isn't gay. I know he's married, maybe because he always just plays gay roles. Anyway, there are lots of names. John Stamos is 61 and has got to be the winner. We love you, uncle Jesse, and y'all telling me that alleged murderer Luigi Maggione is a baby babe.
Speaker 1:Get out of here. Get out of here. This week's being prepared tip fire ladder. If you have a second-story home or even a triple-story home those are very popular in Nashville, the row houses. Do you have a plan to get out of your house if you must get out through an upper window? Did I just instill the fear of God in you Because you have never thought of this. I have a fire station 2.8 miles from my house and I hope I never have to worry about this.
Speaker 1:I bought a fire ladder off Amazon four years ago. That is just sitting at the bottom of my closet. Do I know how to use it? Nope. Do all of my almost 50-year-old upstairs windows open all the way? Nope, the fire ladder, it's one of those. Once you completely open it, you can't get it small again. I saw a reel on IG last week where a ladder was built into the window and like, kind of like the ledge, and all you had to do was throw it out the window. I like it.
Speaker 1:I know some of you who are listening to this have had personal experiences with house fires and I know it is nothing to joke about. Luckily, the pitch of our roof isn't crazy to stand on. I assume my husband gets on the ground first and I gently toss a dog to him, and spring is coming, which means tornado season. Now I have actually calmed down a lot about tornadoes. In the past I was equally fascinated, like I want to see it, but also overreacting, panicking, like full on panicking. These days, if it happens past bedtime, I just pop my melatonin and if the good Lord takes me at 2 am, hopefully I don't notice. However, netflix on March 19th is releasing a documentary about the May 2011 Joplin, missouri, f5 tornado and I feel it will release the panic in me I once had. I watched the trailer and it is fucking terrifying. It killed 158 people and destroyed 4,380 homes. My current home does have a basement workshop underground from the garage Slay, so that helps me mentally a lot. We lived in Tulsa, oklahoma, for a couple years and stuff out there got scary often, but people who were from there weren't scared at all. Like, oh, my elementary school got hit by a tornado. Like, okay, cool, and my home in Tulsa didn't have a room without a window in it, so that was fun. No safe room at all. Anywho, if shit is hitting the fan, grab your car keys, tennis shoes and your helmet and head to your safe spot.
Speaker 1:Zillow Property of the Week. Instagram, aka Big Brother, knew I needed to see Oakley founder James Gennard. James Gennard's Beverly Hills $68 million estate. Oakley is in the Oakley sunglasses that have been around forever and ever. Go ahead and type 410 Trousdale Place, beverly Hills into your favorite real estate app. It looks like it would survive the zombie apocalypse, so I approve it.
Speaker 1:He also just sold a record-breaking $210 million home in Malibu, but I don't have the address for that one and it already sold, so who cares? We only want current real estate that we can access. Anyway, if you go on Zillow for the info on the sale or all about the home, it doesn't have an HOA. I don't have an HOA because my neighborhood is so old. Hoa is a scam. If you scroll into the details it ends with a work of art that could never be replicated again, shown to pre-qualified clients. Only Now what the fuck has to be in your bank account to go see inside of a $68 million home. Seriously, I mean, I guess I could contact the listing agents myself. The estimated monthly payment is $438,403. What I would let a multimillionaire into my humble abode. So why can't I go snoop around that home, take my cell phone, sell tickets to see the inside to go towards closing costs? I think my mom and I need to get our California real estate licenses just to go look at mega mansions. Is this legal? Surely someone has done this. Anywho, sharon's bucket list is a travel to Beverly Hills and look at homes, so I need backers for the podcast. Don't you want to support a five-foot-tall 70-year-old, one woman's dreams, just for 20 cents a month? Let's help a boomer do boomer things.
Speaker 1:My 10-month-old German short-haired pointer teeties on the fronts of his legs. He teeties on the backs of his front legs and at first I thought this was funny, like, oh, look at him haphazardly tinkle while walking. This is our sixth dog and we have never had this happen. I had one dog that ate its own poop, but other than that, all pee has ended up on the ground. Well, I didn't realize how bad it was until this week when we noticed his legs are stained with TT. They are yellow. I feel bad, it is gross. My husband read that sometimes puppies grow out of it after puberty and you all know he still has his balls and, yes, they freak me out. They get pink and they look like plums and it's too cold to bathe him right now. So I went to Petco and I bought some puppy deodorizing wipes. Now in Nashville we may get up to sunny and 63 next week so he may get to experience his first shower, but until then he will be getting a whore's bath Now.
Speaker 1:I'm going to pause right now because right up until the prep for this story, I thought a whore's bath was applying a lot of deodorant and perfume because you didn't have time to take a shower when leaving the house. But goddammit, wikipedia just ruined this for me and if you know, you're probably chuckling. Please make sure all children have cleared the room, because the internet is telling me it is. Quote a quick sponge bath by hand, using a wet washcloth or a pre-moistened towelette to extend the interval between showers or to clean up after casual sexual intercourse. Well, hell, I mean, it makes sense.
Speaker 1:Old hussies back in the day had to go from client to client and had to be game day ready at any time. So now I guess I can't use the term anymore. It's making me uncomfortable, especially in context with a puppy. So anyway, this podcast is not sponsored by Summer's Eve, but we gladly would be All right. Y'all have a good week.
