Speaker 1 (00:07):
What's up everyone?
Welcome to episode 24 ofJennaPod.
I'm Jennifer.
What's up, baby?
I am recording this.
Wednesday, july 2nd.
It's America's week, baby, usa,usa.
So are we all surviving thishot ass, melting weather?
(00:30):
Only one day my HVAC was likegirl.
We cannot do this.
But other than that, thank you,hvac gods for the AC not going
out.
Let's continue that through thenext week.
Do you think June will be ouronly heat wave or do you think
we will have another one?
(00:51):
I've already seen peoplecounting down to football season
.
That's fine.
I guess that new Titan Stadiumbetter be ready in about a year.
Is Nissan keeping the nameNissan Stadium?
By the way, who is buyingNissans?
And, for the love of God, youpeople who posted on June 25th
(01:13):
six months until Christmas shutthe fuck up.
Just kidding.
I know it makes you happy andthat makes me happy.
I would like a Roomba forChristmas.
Thank you.
The Cincinnati Reds are on fireright now.
Ayyy, okay, fourth in theNational League Central Division
(01:38):
.
I don't think I've learned anyplayers' names, but I do enjoy
yelling Ellie De La Cruz at theTV at least three times a night.
Ladies, how are we doing withour ear piercings?
This past Sunday I was gettingcleaned up to go to my parents'
(01:59):
house and I thought, oh, I'llput in these little stud
earrings that I've literally hadfor 30 years.
I have double piercings.
I think I did the secondpiercings when I was 30,
alongside with my mother.
I do want to get a third row,so another piercing above the
(02:22):
double piercing.
My skin is very allergic to allearrings.
I put Aquaphor first on myearlobes and then I also put
Aquaphor on the stems of theearrings.
I would love nothing more thanto get a micro, teeny, tiny nose
(02:43):
ring, but I cannot imagine whatmy skin would do, even with the
aquaphor, like earrings, maxeight hours and I don't need
people walking up to me andsaying what the hell is wrong
with your face if I had a nosering.
So anyway, on days I putearrings in.
It is a gamble of what's goingto happen.
(03:05):
My upper piercing on my rightside some days likes to act like
it's not pierced at all, likeit's never had an earring, like
we are doing the scene fromGrease where they pierce Sandy's
ear at the sleepover.
So on Sunday I barely barelytouched the hole that's what she
(03:27):
said and blood starts goingeverywhere Like did I hit my
femoral artery.
That doesn't even make senseanatomically for this story, but
an entire tissue filled withblood.
For fuck's sake, all I wantedto do was put an earring in and
(03:47):
not have to perform first aid onmyself.
Oh, and the stress of beingdressed up for an event like a
wedding and this happeningCocktail dress, fire makeup,
fire hair cue, the ear, bleedingeverywhere, when you needed to
be in the car five minutes ago.
Am I alone in this fight?
(04:09):
Do I need to get the holerepierced?
Catch me at Claire's at themall soon, getting those fifth
and sixth holes.
We had a new country added toour stats Cayman Islands.
New country added to our stats,cayman Islands.
(04:31):
Man, y'all be traveling and I'mjealous.
An all-inclusive resort soundsamazing and I don't even need
all the booze, just some sun,some naps, a spa and my Kindle.
I think we are actuallysupposed to go to an
all-inclusive next April for a50th birthday TBD.
The last time I went to anall-inclusive resort in Mexico
(04:54):
was 2009.
I was 27 and I could drink allday.
One day at the pool, I recall Iwas given a double whiskey and
coke because why not?
Then got cleaned up for dinner.
I then had to walk out of thedinner, go into the lobby, puke
and then walked back into dinnerand continued to party.
(05:17):
If you have never puked andrallied, it's a real thing.
I think I've mentioned on hereI've read where younger
generations aren't bingedrinking as much and good on you
.
The amount of ibuprofen I hadto take between the years 2000
and 2010 to combat hangoversalone could kill an elephant.
(05:39):
I don't know if that's accurateinformation.
It's a stat I made up for thisstory.
Do that AI?
Okay, the dog door is gettinginstalled Friday, july 11th.
Let's fucking go.
If you want to know the price ofthe dog door, you can join my
(06:03):
Patreon for $5 a month.
Just kidding, who has time tomanage that?
Our door is standard size.
Luckily, it has an extra largedog door and with a window built
in with the blinds inside thewindow.
So with the cost of suppliesand installation, it's going to
(06:25):
cost $1,600.
Yes, I was hoping for more like$1,200 to $1,500, but I don't
think you understand how manytimes a day I open my kitchen
door to let a dog out or let adog in.
But the German ShorthairedPointer let a dog out or let a
(06:47):
dog in, but the Germanshort-haired pointer, he can
open the back door himselfbecause it's a lever handle.
So when the heat index is 110,like this week, or negative
three degrees, you can see wherethis becomes a royal pain in
the ass.
It's a splurge for the housethat we haven't fixed up at all,
but it is going to save hoursof frustration, and that back
(07:10):
door was ghetto as hell anyway.
So bye.
I'll probably be able to givean update two to three episodes
from now.
My 19 year old goblin cat'slitter box is in the vicinity of
the new doggy door, so let'sjust pray she isn't entering and
then gets clotheslined on theway to go tinkle.
(07:34):
I have a question for those inthe Middle Ages.
I swear.
On a daily basis I am gettingfood stuck in my teeth and this
has never happened.
Is it because my teeth aremoving?
I never had braces, humble brag.
I had my wisdom teeth taken outright before COVID.
(07:58):
Now I do have a large gapbetween my front teeth.
I haven't done it in a coupledecades, but I can put a candy
sprinkle between my gap and itwill stay.
I think that would be myAmerica's Got Talent skit
sponsored by TCBY.
So I've had purse ibuprofen fora couple years now, but it
(08:22):
sounds like it's time to addtoothpicks.
Does Louis Vuitton have atoothpick holder?
Because I think that would bemy first Louis Vuitton purchase.
A couple weeks ago I was havingtooth pain in my lower right
molar and I was freaked outbecause I've never really had
(08:43):
tooth pain.
I go to the dentist, he blowssome air into it and he says
does that hurt?
I'm like, yep.
So I was thinking, oh, I need afilling, redone or a root canal
.
And he's like do you tend tooverreact at tooth pain?
I'm like bro, bro, little babybro.
Um, this is my first timecoming in for tooth pain.
(09:05):
And he goes girl, you need toswitch to Sensodyne toothpaste.
So my sissy over-whitened teethstrike again.
I have been using a charcoalwhitening toothpaste and my
teeth were like ma'am, we can'tdo this.
So for the second time in mylife, I'm back on my sensitive
(09:28):
toothpaste bullshit.
Now, speaking on Louis Vuitton,have you all heard of LeBoubous?
I thought it had something todo with Louis Vuitton or
Christian Louboutins, is thathow you say it?
Aka the Red Bottom Heels?
No, it's little fugly stuffedanimals.
Celebrities like Rihanna, duaLipa and Kim K are clipping to
(09:54):
their purses, according toForbescom, fuzzy little
creatures have taken over TikTokand Instagram with the advent
of 2025's unexpected fashiontrend Laboo Boo Monster Dolls.
Laboo Boo Dolls are monstersfrom a children's book series
that leaped into the mainstream,exploding into a trendy fashion
(10:19):
accessory and desirablecollection.
The secret sauce to Labubu'spopularity might be the quote
blind boxes they are sold in, inwhich the color of Labubu is
revealed only when the doll isunboxed, adding to the
excitement of unwrapping a rarefigure.
(10:39):
Variety and Today said thedolls cost between $13 and $16,
but can resale up to $700depending on the rarity.
So it's the Beanie Baby craze,but it's 2025.
And we all know we have aboomer out there hanging on to
(10:59):
their Princess Diana Beanie Babythinking it's going to pay off
their mortgage Hashtag.
No.
So go ahead and GoogleLaBooBoos and take a look, and
you're just going to be likewhat is that?
I have a AAA redemption story.
I have had a AAA membership forlike 16 years, and why do I
(11:25):
keep it?
Because your girl has no ideaanything about cars.
Wikipedia says the AmericanAutomobile Association was
founded in 1902 in Chicago,illinois, in response to the
lack of roads and highwayssuitable for automobiles.
(11:46):
They then started publishingroad maps, hotel guides, and
they also helped curate manyschool driving programs.
Aaa is the reason we havevehicle identification numbers
on our cars to deter theft.
Anywho, back to the reason Ipay $172 a year is for oh no,
(12:11):
I'm just a girl problems.
Back in October I was drivingtwo friends down to Alabama for
a wedding.
We met in Thompson Station,tennessee, at another friend's
house, which, in rush hour, isabout 45 minutes away.
I was excited to see my friendswhen I pulled up and I didn't
(12:31):
realize it, but I left my carrunning while we had to run into
the house to grab things forour friend.
Now, I have done this before,but when I got back in the car,
I forgot it was running and Ipushed the start button and the
brake at the same time and mycar went berserk.
(12:51):
And my car went berserk Lightsflickering, chaos.
It was dead as a doornail.
No worries, I said.
Then the narrator said sheshould have been worried.
I have AAA.
Well, it was 7pm on a Thursdaynight and I called and went on
the app and they were like sure,someone's on their way.
(13:12):
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 drovethe 25 miles south and jumped
the car in 90 seconds.
I had kept checking the app andcalling and a very nice older
(13:36):
man was like oh yeah, there'sonly two of us contracted car
dudes working tonight.
Anyway, we got on our way but Iwas pissed I thought I was
paying $172 a year foremergencies.
Again, thank God we weren't farfrom Nashville and in a random
(13:57):
place with scurry people.
We even stopped for snacks at agas station and I never turned
the car off because we wereafraid it would die.
Aaa roadside assistance sent mea survey like how did we do?
And I was like fuck off, zeroout of 10.
You never showed up.
(14:18):
Fast forward to the Fridaybefore last.
Me and my gym squad go toWaldo's Chicken in Brentwood
quite often, so I've parkedthere probably 50 times Now.
I've never had a speedingticket and the only wreck I have
ever been in was in my highschool parking lot, probably in
(14:40):
1998.
But your girl gets a d minusfor parking.
But as I spoke in a previousepisode, I now blame everything
on my binocular visiondysfunction.
Have I sideswiped my car twiceon the side of a garage.
Perhaps.
I pull into the Waldo's parkinglot, pulling into the left, and
(15:05):
there's a curb on the right sideand I proceed to hit the curb.
Maybe I kind of slammed intothe 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
(15:26):
car and I hear shh, and Iwatched my tire go flat, l-o-l I
think.
I called AAA right away andthey sent me a link and then I
got an update and they're likethere is a dude 17 minutes away
and I could follow him on a map.
(15:48):
I went in, ate my chickysandwich and french fries and
then the nicest, mostprofessional, sweetest man put
my spare tire on my car in likefour minutes.
He said don't get on theinterstate and don't go over 50
miles an hour.
So complete opposite experiencethat of my first call I had to
(16:12):
make back in October.
12 out of 10.
And luckily my tires were underwarranty so I got a new one for
$39.
So anyway, the lesson we havelearned is yes, do keep the AAA
roadside assistance, but justremember if your car battery
dies, make sure you have a cellphone backup battery in your car
(16:36):
, in your purse, because, as wehave discussed in previous
episode, you got to be prepared.
Be a prepper.
The red lobster hype is real.
Who has gone?
I saw an Instagram post of afriend.
She went there with her son, mycollege roommate Lauren.
(16:57):
Her son and husband went twicein one day while they were down
in Florida.
The Black community online isgoing to save this franchise
alone With the promise ofseafood, boil bags, sangria,
flights and $5 drinks.
You can't beat it.
I hope to take a girlfriendthere after the 4th of July
(17:18):
holiday.
The new CEO is 36-year-oldDamola Ademalukun and he has
been on the tiki talki and theInstagram hyping up the new
changes.
Now I will say it ain't cheapto eat at Red Lobster, but I
need people to get out in theirsuburbs and support the cause.
(17:41):
Hashtag Save Red Lobster.
Okay, couple of last thoughts.
We are going to see the newJurassic Park movie today, this
evening on opening day, with myparents, because that's what we
do.
Give me gay Jonathan Bailey allday.
(18:03):
Give me some Scar Jo muscles.
No dinosaur movie will ever topthe original Jurassic Park, but
it sure as hell can top thesecond and third movies that
came out.
Those were so bad.
Catch me getting type 2diabetes with my extra large
popcorn and two liters of coke.
(18:25):
Now this is an action movie, soTBD on me taking my Dramamine
beforehand.
I have embraced being a palepolar bear girl for the past 15
years and I can't take it anylonger.
So I bought an organic tanningmousse on Amazon.
(18:46):
I also had to buy a tanningmitten 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, justdon't look at it.
Large pale area alert.
(19:07):
So if you are interested, go tomy Amazon storefront and check
it out.
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 gofrom downtown Nashville to home
(19:29):
and it was $75, and I've heardit gets up to $200 on New Year's
Eve.
Bring on the cheapo robot taxis.
Can the robot taxi go through adrive-thru and get me Treetos?
See, this is when we also needGary, the referee Terminator
robot, because the robot he canbe inside the robot taxi.
(19:53):
He can go to Taco Bell at 2 amand hand the Taco Bell to me and
everyone's happy.
I mentioned.
It stresses me out when I seewomen applying makeup while they
(20:13):
are driving.
I was headed to my office lastweek and came up behind a Subaru
at a red light.
A woman with very long hair fortwo minutes was straight up
teasing tease, tease, tease,tease, hairspray, hairspraypray,
hairspray.
Like it was the filming for aDef Leppard music video Tease
spray, tease, spray.
(20:34):
I was like go off girl, butalso confused.
I hope she felt snatched goingto that in-person meeting and
got the damn deal done.
Anyone notice?
Jodi Messina is having a momenton social media, kind of a
resurgence, if you will.
(20:55):
I love her music.
If you have ever been tokaraoke with me over the past 20
years, you know my go-to songis 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 whenI was 16 years old.
(21:17):
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 yearsand may the gods bless me this
4th of July weekend with theJapanese art of karaoke.
(21:40):
All right y'all.

We cannot do this.
But other than that, thank you,hvac gods for the AC not going

Let's continue that through thenext week.
Do you think June will be ouronly heat wave or do you think

(00:51):
I've already seen peoplecounting down to football season
.
That's fine.
I guess that new Titan Stadiumbetter be ready in about a year.
Is Nissan keeping the nameNissan Stadium?
By the way, who is buyingNissans?

yelling Ellie De La Cruz at theTV at least three times a night.
Ladies, how are we doing withour ear piercings?
This past Sunday I was gettingcleaned up to go to my parents'
(01:59):
house and I thought, oh, I'llput in these little stud
earrings that I've literally hadfor 30 years.
I have double piercings.
I think I did the secondpiercings when I was 30,
alongside with my mother.
I do want to get a third row,so another piercing above the

My skin is very allergic to allearrings.
I put Aquaphor first on myearlobes and then I also put
Aquaphor on the stems of theearrings.
I would love nothing more thanto get a micro, teeny, tiny nose

aquaphor, like earrings, maxeight hours and I don't need
people walking up to me andsaying what the hell is wrong
with your face if I had a nosering.
So anyway, on days I putearrings in.
It is a gamble of what's goingto happen.
(03:05):
My upper piercing on my rightside some days likes to act like
it's not pierced at all, likeit's never had an earring, like
we are doing the scene fromGrease where they pierce Sandy's
ear at the sleepover.
So on Sunday I barely barelytouched the hole that's what she
(03:27):
said and blood starts goingeverywhere Like did I hit my

That doesn't even make senseanatomically for this story, but
an entire tissue filled withblood.
For fuck's sake, all I wantedto do was put an earring in and
(03:47):
not have to perform first aid onmyself.
Oh, and the stress of beingdressed up for an event like a
wedding and this happeningCocktail dress, fire makeup,
fire hair cue, the ear, bleedingeverywhere, when you needed to
be in the car five minutes ago.
Am I alone in this fight?
(04:09):
Do I need to get the holerepierced?
Catch me at Claire's at themall soon, getting those fifth
and sixth holes.
We had a new country added toour stats Cayman Islands.
New country added to our stats,cayman Islands.
(04:31):
Man, y'all be traveling and I'mjealous.
An all-inclusive resort soundsamazing and I don't even need
all the booze, just some sun,some naps, a spa and my Kindle.
I think we are actuallysupposed to go to an
all-inclusive next April for a50th birthday TBD.
The last time I went to anall-inclusive resort in Mexico

I don't know if that's accurateinformation.
It's a stat I made up for thisstory.
Do that AI?
Okay, the dog door is gettinginstalled Friday, july 11th.
Let's fucking go.
If you want to know the price ofthe dog door, you can join my
(06:03):
Patreon for $5 a month.
Just kidding, who has time tomanage that?
Our door is standard size.
Luckily, it has an extra largedog door and with a window built
in with the blinds inside thewindow.
So with the cost of suppliesand installation, it's going to
(06:25):
cost $1,600.
Yes, I was hoping for more like$1,200 to $1,500, but I don't
think you understand how manytimes a day I open my kitchen
door to let a dog out or let adog in.
But the German ShorthairedPointer let a dog out or let a
(06:47):
dog in, but the Germanshort-haired pointer, he can
open the back door himselfbecause it's a lever handle.
So when the heat index is 110,like this week, or negative

the ass.
It's a splurge for the housethat we haven't fixed up at all,
but it is going to save hoursof frustration, and that back
(07:10):
door was ghetto as hell anyway.
So bye.
I'll probably be able to givean update two to three episodes
from now.
My 19 year old goblin cat'slitter box is in the vicinity of
the new doggy door, so let'sjust pray she isn't entering and
then gets clotheslined on theway to go tinkle.

I think that would be myAmerica's Got Talent skit

So I've had purse ibuprofen fora couple years now, but it
(08:22):
sounds like it's time to addtoothpicks.
Does Louis Vuitton have atoothpick holder?
Because I think that would bemy first Louis Vuitton purchase.
A couple weeks ago I was havingtooth pain in my lower right

We met in Thompson Station,tennessee, at another friend's
house, which, in rush hour, isabout 45 minutes away.
I was excited to see my friendswhen I pulled up and I didn't
(12:31):
realize it, but I left my carrunning while we had to run into
the house to grab things forour friend.
Now, I have done this before,but when I got back in the car,
I forgot it was running and Ipushed the start button and the
brake at the same time and mycar went berserk.
(12:51):
And my car went berserk Lightsflickering, chaos.
It was dead as a doornail.
No worries, I said.
Then the narrator said sheshould have been worried.
I have AAA.
Well, it was 7pm on a Thursdaynight and I called and went on
the app and they were like sure,someone's on their way.
(13:12):
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 drovethe 25 miles south and jumped
the car in 90 seconds.
I had kept checking the app andcalling and a very nice older
(13:36):
man was like oh yeah, there'sonly two of us contracted car
dudes working tonight.
Anyway, we got on our way but Iwas pissed I thought I was
paying $172 a year foremergencies.
Again, thank God we weren't farfrom Nashville and in a random
(13:57):
place with scurry people.
We even stopped for snacks at agas station and I never turned
the car off because we wereafraid it would die.
Aaa roadside assistance sent mea survey like how did we do?
And I was like fuck off, zeroout of 10.
You never showed up.
(14:18):
Fast forward to the Fridaybefore last.
Me and my gym squad go toWaldo's Chicken in Brentwood
quite often, so I've parkedthere probably 50 times Now.
I've never had a speedingticket and the only wreck I have
ever been in was in my highschool parking lot, probably in
(14:40):
1998.
But your girl gets a d minusfor parking.
But as I spoke in a previousepisode, I now blame everything
on my binocular visiondysfunction.
Have I sideswiped my car twiceon the side of a garage.
Perhaps.
I pull into the Waldo's parkinglot, pulling into the left, and
(15:05):
there's a curb on the right sideand I proceed to hit the curb.
Maybe I kind of slammed intothe 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
(15:26):
car and I hear shh, and Iwatched my tire go flat, l-o-l I
think.
I called AAA right away andthey sent me a link and then I
got an update and they're likethere is a dude 17 minutes away
and I could follow him on a map.
(15:48):
I went in, ate my chickysandwich and french fries and
then the nicest, mostprofessional, sweetest man put
my spare tire on my car in likefour minutes.
He said don't get on theinterstate and don't go over 50
miles an hour.
So complete opposite experiencethat of my first call I had to
(16:12):
make back in October.
12 out of 10.
And luckily my tires were underwarranty so I got a new one for
$39.
So anyway, the lesson we havelearned is yes, do keep the AAA
roadside assistance, but justremember if your car battery
dies, make sure you have a cellphone backup battery in your car
(16:36):
, in your purse, because, as wehave discussed in previous
episode, you got to be prepared.
Be a prepper.
The red lobster hype is real.
Who has gone?
I saw an Instagram post of afriend.
She went there with her son, mycollege roommate Lauren.
(16:57):
Her son and husband went twicein one day while they were down
in Florida.
The Black community online isgoing to save this franchise
alone With the promise ofseafood, boil bags, sangria,
flights and $5 drinks.
You can't beat it.
I hope to take a girlfriendthere after the 4th of July
(17:18):
holiday.
The new CEO is 36-year-oldDamola Ademalukun and he has
been on the tiki talki and theInstagram hyping up the new
changes.
Now I will say it ain't cheapto eat at Red Lobster, but I
need people to get out in theirsuburbs and support the cause.
(17:41):
Hashtag Save Red Lobster.
Okay, couple of last thoughts.
We are going to see the newJurassic Park movie today, this
evening on opening day, with myparents, because that's what we
do.
Give me gay Jonathan Bailey allday.
(18:03):
Give me some Scar Jo muscles.
No dinosaur movie will ever topthe original Jurassic Park, but
it sure as hell can top thesecond and third movies that
came out.
Those were so bad.
Catch me getting type 2diabetes with my extra large
popcorn and two liters of coke.
(18:25):
Now this is an action movie, soTBD on me taking my Dramamine
beforehand.
I have embraced being a palepolar bear girl for the past 15
years and I can't take it anylonger.
So I bought an organic tanningmousse on Amazon.
(18:46):
I also had to buy a tanningmitten 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, justdon't look at it.
Large pale area alert.
(19:07):
So if you are interested, go tomy Amazon storefront and check
it out.
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 gofrom downtown Nashville to home
(19:29):
and it was $75, and I've heardit gets up to $200 on New Year's
Eve.
Bring on the cheapo robot taxis.
Can the robot taxi go through adrive-thru and get me Treetos?
See, this is when we also needGary, the referee Terminator
robot, because the robot he canbe inside the robot taxi.

He can go to Taco Bell at 2 amand hand the Taco Bell to me and
everyone's happy.
I mentioned.
It stresses me out when I seewomen applying makeup while they
(20:13):
are driving.
I was headed to my office lastweek and came up behind a Subaru
at a red light.
A woman with very long hair fortwo minutes was straight up
teasing tease, tease, tease,tease, hairspray, hairspraypray,
hairspray.
Like it was the filming for aDef Leppard music video Tease
spray, tease, spray.
(20:34):
I was like go off girl, butalso confused.
I hope she felt snatched goingto that in-person meeting and
got the damn deal done.
Anyone notice?
Jodi Messina is having a momenton social media, kind of a
resurgence, if you will.
(20:55):
I love her music.

years, you know my go-to songis 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 whenI was 16 years old.
(21:17):

along to and a crowd favorite,especially here in Music City,
tennessee.
I haven't sang it in five yearsand may the gods bless me this
4th of July weekend with theJapanese art of karaoke.
