Welcome to JennaPod Episode 24

What's up everyone ? Welcome to episode 24 of JennaPod . I'm Jennifer . What's up , baby ? I am recording this .

Speaker 1 0:19

Wednesday , july 2nd . It's America's week , baby , usa , usa . So are we all surviving this hot ass , melting weather ? Only one day my HVAC was like girl . We cannot do this . But other than that , thank you , hvac gods for the AC not going out . Let's continue that through the next week .

Speaker 1 0:46

Do you think June will be our only heat wave or do you think we will have another one ? I've already seen people counting down to football season . That's fine . I guess that new Titan Stadium better be ready in about a year . Is Nissan keeping the name Nissan Stadium ? By the way , who is buying Nissans ? And , for the love of God , you people who posted on June 25th six months until Christmas shut the fuck up . Just kidding . I know it makes you happy and that makes me happy . I would like a Roomba for Christmas . Thank you . The Cincinnati Reds are on fire right now . Ayyy , okay , fourth in the National League Central Division . I don't think I've learned any players' names , but I do enjoy yelling Ellie De La Cruz at the TV at least three times a night .

Earring Drama and Piercing Problems

Speaker 1 1:49

Ladies , how are we doing with our ear piercings ? This past Sunday I was getting cleaned up to go to my parents' house and I thought , oh , I'll put in these little stud earrings that I've literally had for 30 years . I have double piercings . I think I did the second piercings when I was 30 , alongside with my mother . I do want to get a third row , so another piercing above the double piercing .

Speaker 1 2:24

My skin is very allergic to all earrings . I put Aquaphor first on my earlobes and then I also put Aquaphor on the stems of the earrings . I would love nothing more than to get a micro , teeny , tiny nose ring , but I cannot imagine what my skin would do , even with the aquaphor , like earrings , max eight hours and I don't need people walking up to me and saying what the hell is wrong with your face if I had a nose ring . So anyway , on days I put earrings in . It is a gamble of what's going to happen . My upper piercing on my right side some days likes to act like it's not pierced at all , like it's never had an earring , like we are doing the scene from Grease where they pierce Sandy's ear at the sleepover . So on Sunday I barely barely touched the hole that's what she said and blood starts going everywhere Like did I hit my femoral artery . That doesn't even make sense anatomically for this story , but an entire tissue filled with blood . For fuck's sake , all I wanted to do was put an earring in and not have to perform first aid on myself . Oh , and the stress of being dressed up for an event like a wedding and this happening Cocktail dress , fire makeup , fire hair cue , the ear , bleeding everywhere , when you needed to be in the car five minutes ago . Am I alone in this fight ? Do I need to get the hole repierced ? Catch me at Claire's at the mall soon , getting those fifth and sixth holes .

Speaker 1 4:19

We had a new country added to our stats Cayman Islands . New country added to our stats , cayman Islands . Man , y'all be traveling

Resort Memories and Dog Door Updates

Speaker 1 4:32

and I'm jealous . An all-inclusive resort sounds amazing and I don't even need all the booze , just some sun , some naps , a spa and my Kindle . I think we are actually supposed to go to an all-inclusive next April for a 50th birthday TBD .

Speaker 1 4:50

The last time I went to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico was 2009 . I was 27 and I could drink all day . One day at the pool , I recall I was given a double whiskey and coke because why not ? Then got cleaned up for dinner . I then had to walk out of the dinner , go into the lobby , puke and then walked back into dinner and continued to party . If you have never puked and rallied , it's a real thing .

Speaker 1 5:22

I think I've mentioned on here I've read where younger generations aren't binge drinking as much and good on you . The amount of ibuprofen I had to take between the years 2000 and 2010 to combat hangovers alone could kill an elephant . I don't know if that's accurate information . It's a stat I made up for this story . Do that AI ? Okay , the dog door is getting installed Friday , july 11th . Let's fucking go .

Speaker 1 5:58

If you want to know the price of the dog door , you can join my Patreon for $5 a month . Just kidding , who has time to manage that ? Our door is standard size . Luckily , it has an extra large dog door and with a window built in with the blinds inside the window . So with the cost of supplies and installation , it's going to cost $1,600 . Yes , I was hoping for more like $1,200 to $1,500 , but I don't think you understand how many times a day I open my kitchen door to let a dog out or let a dog in . But the German Shorthaired Pointer let a dog out or let a dog in , but the German short-haired pointer , he can open the back door himself because it's a lever handle . So when the heat index is 110 , like this week , or negative three degrees , you can see where this becomes a royal pain in the ass . It's a splurge for the house that we haven't fixed up at all , but it is going to save hours of frustration , and that back door was ghetto as hell anyway . So bye . I'll probably be able to give an update two to three episodes from now . My 19 year old goblin cat's litter box is in the vicinity of the new doggy

Middle Age Teeth Problems

Speaker 1 7:26

door , so let's just pray she isn't entering and then gets clotheslined on the way to go tinkle .

Speaker 1 7:34

I have a question for those in the Middle Ages . I swear . On a daily basis I am getting food stuck in my teeth and this has never happened . Is it because my teeth are moving ? I never had braces , humble brag . I had my wisdom teeth taken out right before COVID . Now I do have a large gap between my front teeth . I haven't done it in a couple decades , but I can put a candy sprinkle between my gap and it will stay . I think that would be my America's Got Talent skit sponsored by TCBY . So I've had purse ibuprofen for a couple years now , but it sounds like it's time to add toothpicks . Does Louis Vuitton have a toothpick holder ? Because I think that would be my first Louis Vuitton purchase .

Speaker 1 8:34

A couple weeks ago I was having tooth pain in my lower right molar and I was freaked out because I've never really had tooth pain . I go to the dentist , he blows some air into it and he says does that hurt ? I'm like , yep . So I was thinking , oh , I need a filling , redone or a root canal . And he's like do you tend to overreact at tooth pain ? I'm like bro , bro , little baby bro . Um , this is my first time coming in for tooth pain . And he goes girl , you need to switch to Sensodyne toothpaste . So my sissy over-whitened teeth strike again . I have been using a charcoal whitening toothpaste and my teeth were like ma'am , we can't do this . So for the second time in my life , I'm back on my sensitive toothpaste bullshit .

Speaker 1 9:30

Now , speaking on Louis Vuitton , have you all heard of LeBoubous ? I thought it had something to do with Louis Vuitton or Christian Louboutins , is that how you say it ? Aka the Red Bottom Heels ? No , it's little fugly stuffed animals . Celebrities like Rihanna , dua Lipa and Kim K are clipping to their purses , according to Forbescom , fuzzy little creatures have taken over TikTok and Instagram with the advent of 2025's unexpected fashion trend Laboo Boo Monster Dolls .

Speaker 1 10:10

Laboo Boo Dolls are monsters from a children's book series that leaped into the mainstream , exploding into a trendy fashion accessory and desirable collection . The secret sauce to Labubu's popularity might be the quote blind boxes they are sold in , in which the color of Labubu is revealed only when the doll is unboxed , adding to the excitement of unwrapping a rare figure . Variety and Today said the dolls cost between $13 and $16 , but can resale up to $700 depending on the rarity . So it's the Beanie Baby craze , but it's 2025 . And we all know we have a boomer out there hanging on to their Princess Diana Beanie Baby thinking it's going to pay off their mortgage Hashtag .

Speaker 1 11:05

No . So go ahead and Google LaBooBoos and take a look , and you're just going to be like

AAA Roadside Stories

Speaker 1 11:13

what is that ? I have a AAA redemption story . I have had a AAA membership for like 16 years , and why do I keep it ? Because your girl has no idea anything about cars . Wikipedia says the American Automobile Association was founded in 1902 in Chicago , illinois , in response to the lack of roads and highways suitable for automobiles . They then started publishing road maps , hotel guides , and they also helped curate many school driving programs . Aaa is the reason we have vehicle identification numbers on our cars to deter theft . Anywho , back to the reason I pay $172 a year is for oh no , I'm just a girl problems .

Speaker 1 12:13

Back in October I was driving two friends down to Alabama for a wedding . We met in Thompson Station , tennessee , at another friend's house , which , in rush hour , is about 45 minutes away . I was excited to see my friends when I pulled up and I didn't realize it , but I left my car running while we had to run into the house to grab things for our friend . Now , I have done this before , but when I got back in the car , I forgot it was running and I pushed the start button and the brake at the same time and my car went berserk . And my car went berserk Lights flickering , chaos . It was dead as a doornail . No worries , I said . Then the narrator said she should have been worried . I have AAA .

Speaker 1 13:08

Well , it was 7pm on a Thursday night and I called and went on the app and they were like sure , someone's on their way . And then it was like , okay , okay , someone's gonna be there in two hours . Um , what ? My friends kelly and kelsey , and I attempted to jump the car but it didn't work . So eventually my husband drove the 25 miles south and jumped the car in 90 seconds . I had kept checking the app and calling and a very nice older man was like oh yeah , there's only two of us contracted car dudes working tonight . Anyway , we got on our way but I was pissed I thought I was paying $172 a year for emergencies . Again , thank God we weren't far from Nashville and in a random place with scurry people . We even stopped for snacks at a gas station and I never turned the car off because we were afraid it would die . Aaa roadside assistance sent me a survey like how did we do ? And I was like fuck off , zero out of 10 . You never showed up .

Speaker 1 14:18

Fast forward to the Friday before last . Me and my gym squad go to Waldo's Chicken in Brentwood quite often , so I've parked there probably 50 times Now . I've never had a speeding ticket and the only wreck I have ever been in was in my high school parking lot , probably in 1998 . But your girl gets a d minus for parking . But as I spoke in a previous episode , I now blame everything on my binocular vision dysfunction . Have I sideswiped my car twice on the side of a garage . Perhaps .

Speaker 1 15:00

I pull into the Waldo's parking lot , pulling into the left , and there's a curb on the right side and I proceed to hit the curb . Maybe I kind of slammed into the curb Now I've hit a thousand curbs because I'm just a girl , but this one was kind of jolting like we got airborne . I just flipped my hair and said , oops , well , I get out of the car and I hear shh , and I watched my tire go flat , l-o-l I think . I called AAA right away and they sent me a link and then I got an update and they're like there is a dude 17 minutes away and I could follow him on a map . I went in , ate my chicky sandwich and french fries and then the nicest , most professional , sweetest man put my spare tire on my car in like four minutes . He said don't get on the interstate and don't go over 50 miles an hour . So complete opposite experience that of my first call I had to make back in October . 12 out of 10 . And luckily my tires were under warranty so I got a new one for $39 . So anyway , the lesson we have learned is yes , do keep the AAA roadside assistance , but just remember if your car battery dies , make sure you have a cell phone backup battery in your car , in your purse , because , as we have discussed in previous episode , you got to be prepared

Red Lobster Hype and Final Thoughts

Speaker 1 16:43

Be a prepper . The red lobster hype is real . Who has gone ? I saw an Instagram post of a friend . She went there with her son , my college roommate Lauren . Her son and husband went twice in one day while they were down in Florida . The Black community online is going to save this franchise alone With the promise of seafood , boil bags , sangria , flights and $5 drinks . You can't beat it . I hope to take a girlfriend there after the 4th of July holiday .

Speaker 1 17:20

The new CEO is 36-year-old Damola Ademalukun and he has been on the tiki talki and the Instagram hyping up the new changes . Now I will say it ain't cheap to eat at Red Lobster , but I need people to get out in their suburbs and support the cause . Hashtag Save Red Lobster . Okay , couple of last thoughts . We are going to see the new Jurassic Park movie today , this evening on opening day , with my parents , because that's what we do . Give me gay Jonathan Bailey all day . Give me some Scar Jo muscles . No dinosaur movie will ever top the original Jurassic Park , but it sure as hell can top the second and third movies that came out . Those were so bad . Catch me getting type 2 diabetes with my extra large popcorn and two liters of coke . Now this is an action movie , so TBD on me taking my Dramamine beforehand .

Speaker 1 18:34

I have embraced being a pale polar bear girl for the past 15 years and I can't take it any longer . So I bought an organic tanning mousse on Amazon . I also had to buy a tanning mitten and I tell you what folks confidence is up . I'm wearing shorts Now . I can't reach all of my back , so don't look at my back . If you see me in public , just don't look at it . Large pale area alert . So if you are interested , go to my Amazon storefront and check it out .

Speaker 1 19:14

I read the Tesla taxi has a $4.20 flat fee . Are you kidding me ? How much are the Waymos ? I once requested an Uber to go from downtown Nashville to home and it was $75 , and I've heard it gets up to $200 on New Year's Eve . Bring on the cheapo robot taxis . Can the robot taxi go through a drive-thru and get me Treetos ? See , this is when we also need Gary , the referee Terminator robot , because the robot he can be inside the robot taxi . He can go to Taco Bell at 2 am and hand the Taco Bell to me and everyone's happy . I mentioned .

Speaker 1 20:12

It stresses me out when I see women applying makeup while they are driving . I was headed to my office last week and came up behind a Subaru at a red light . A woman with very long hair for two minutes was straight up teasing tease , tease , tease , tease , hairspray , hairspraypray , hairspray . Like it was the filming for a Def Leppard music video Tease spray , tease , spray . I was like go off girl , but also confused . I hope she felt snatched going to that in-person meeting and got the damn deal done . Anyone notice ?

Speaker 1 20:48

Jodi Messina is having a moment on social media , kind of a resurgence , if you will . I love her music . If you have ever been to karaoke with me over the past 20 years , you know my go-to song is I'm Alright , he goes well . It's been a long time . Glad to see your face . You know it . You know it . That song came out in 1998 when I was 16 years old . If you are a mediocre singer , her tunes are so easy to sing along to and a crowd favorite , especially here in Music City , tennessee . I haven't sang it in five years and may the gods bless me this 4th of July weekend with the Japanese art of karaoke . All right y'all .
