Speaker 1 (00:09):
Welcome to episode 8 of JennaPod.
It's your girl, jennifer.
You know, the one fromFairfield.
Who here listening is fromFairfield.
What's going on?
What is good?
People, I am recording thisSaturday, february 22nd.
It is still cold and gloomy,but sun and warm temps in

(00:32):
Nashville are on the horizon.
Shout out to Matt Berger, whohas listened to this podcast
through iHeartRadio and he worksfor iHeartRadio Hashtag
iHeartRadio.
Go use them to listen to all ofyour iHeartRadio stuff.

(00:54):
I hope everyone is doing okay.
As you get older, you realizeeveryone is going through shit.
It's a roller coaster out there.
We all be doing our best and Ihope I can bring some chuckles
once a week to forget thedumpster fire that can be
adulting.
How is Amazon getting someproducts to my home within three

(01:19):
hours of ordering?
How it shocks me.
Every time, love him or hatehim, jeff Bezos is making me
lazier by the day.
Can younger generationscomprehend not being able to
order anything online because onthe line didn't exist?
I don't think I can remember atthis point.

(01:42):
I got into Kroger grocerydelivery about two years ago and
I have never taken moreadvantage of a program.
Their Boost program costs $59 ayear and you get next day
delivery free and you only haveto spend $35.
I have Kroger at my home atleast four days a week, kroger

(02:04):
delivery needing their own gaspoints to keep up with the
mileage to my home.
Now I have three grocery storeswithin 0.8 miles of me.
Don't you dare judge me.
I have a Publix, an Aldi and aKroger.
But I don't like that Kroger.
It has awful vibes and it'salways chaotic.

(02:26):
When I have to physically go toKroger, I go to the fancy, nice
Kroger in town, the one thathas a Starbucks.
No, it isn't out of my way.
I pass it to and from the gymevery day.
Changing grocery stores givesme a mental breakdown.
When we moved four years ago, Ikept going to another Kroger by

(02:50):
my old house because I didn'twant to memorize a new Kroger.
A non-memorized grocery storeequals chaos in my brain.
Call me quirky or call mespecial, but that's how I was
made.
My mother has access to myKroger account and downloads

(03:10):
coupons for me.
Am I embarrassed by that?
Nope, because I will never dothat.
She will text me like hey, makesure you go pick up your free
product and you know what that'sa mother's love and being an
only child.
I am an only child.
I'm a left-handed only child.

(03:32):
I am very close to my parentsand enjoy hanging out with them.
We lived in separate states forseven years, and I am very
grateful that they moved theirlife from Ohio down to Tennessee
and now live 2.8 miles from me.
A lot of couples, when thinkingof having a second child, will

(03:53):
ask me for feedback, and I'mlike well, I have zero
perspective and being an onlychild rocked.
Now.
My personality takeaways frombeing an only child are I can't
fight and argue and I'm a goodfriend.
If I am yelled at or think youare mad at me, I will cry.

(04:15):
No ifs, ands or buts.
I will cry.
I have no defense mechanismbecause I was alone.
I didn't have a sibling beatingthe shit out of me, nor was I
traumatizing a younger sibling.
Now my cousin Megan and I arewhat I assume the closest thing

(04:36):
to sisters are, but she lives upin Cleveland, ohio, which is
very sad, makes me very sad, Iwill say, though, being an only
child made me latch onto friends.
My childhood best friend, reby,and I have been together for 35
years, whenever third gradestarted.
I also keep up with nine othergirlfriends from my hometown of

(04:58):
Fairfield, ohio.
And I'm not saying like socialmedia, I'm talking like we be
texting, visiting, like voicememo, video messages, all that.
I've been told I'm really goodat keeping friend relationships
going and I am proud of that.
About 15 years ago I had anidea for a company for companion

(05:22):
services for older adults andmaybe I should just do that for
all ages, but for right now it'stoo cold and I've been
hibernating all winter.
Love is blind.
Season eight is out.
Let's go.
I get excited.
I love that shit.

(05:42):
I love the pods when they meet,and then I'll get bored and
then I will fast forward to theweddings to see who makes it.
But I love crazy people.
I would like to see the showwith an older demographic of
people in their 40s, 50s insteadof late 20s and 30s.
I just think people would besassier and it would be damn

(06:07):
good entertainment.
Armageddon was on AMC last week.
Shout out to my friend Josh,whom we log under his YouTube TV
account, to the friends outthere sharing streaming login
information.
You're the real ones.
So also shout out to my friendShannon, as I have my own
account under her Hulu account.

(06:28):
I watched about two-thirds ofArmageddon and you know what
Great one-liners Also got towatch that damn animal cracker
scene and I said, oh no, rightbefore it started.
And why in the hell did BenAffleck have to put the cookie
down her underwear?
It was weird, it wasn't sexy,it gave me the heebie-jeebies,

(06:52):
even though Liv Tyler isstunning and Ben Affleck was
really looking cute at the ageof 25.
Anyway, on Thursday the percentof the asteroid hitting the
Earth in 2032 started going waydown and I think by the time I'm
recording it's like way down.
I didn't touch on this last time, but why is the asteroid named

(07:16):
YR4?
That's boring.
It's like the beginning of alicense plate.
Why aren't we goinghurricane-esque names for
potential city destroyers likeDave?
Like Dave's going to hit the?
According to the nhcnoaagov,since 1953, atlantic tropical

(07:38):
storms have been named from thelists originated by the National
Hurricane Center.
They are now maintained andupdated through a strict
procedure by an internationalcommittee of the World
Meteorological Organization.
So where can I join theInternational Name an Asteroid

(07:58):
Committee?
Because I also research whyit's named YR4 and it's boring.
According to ye olde Wikipedia,the first Y indicates the
asteroid was discovered in thesecond half moon of December
2024.
Okay, and the R4 indicates thatit was the 117th provisional

(08:23):
designation to be assigned tothat half moon.
What the fuck does that mean?
Were there 116 other babyasteroids in the second half
moon of December?
I'm just saying Balls Johnsonwould be a better name of the
giant rock heading to Earth.
So I've discussed baby babes alot on my podcast and for people

(08:47):
asking if there's a theme, Iguess 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 Iwant to talk about daddies and
listen.
If you are out there dating ormarried to a baby babe or a
daddy, we are not here to shame,I will give you a high five.

(09:09):
Let's just keep it legal, likeover 18 years old.
Anyway, we have the TV on andPedro Pascal comes on and I say
something to the effect of ohhey, daddy.
My husband says, um, he's ourage, and I think surely not.
And I use the Google and PedroPascal is currently 49.

(09:31):
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 camefrom.
Now I think Harrison Ford is ababe and he's 82.
That's a super daddy.

(09:52):
He's a granddaddy.
I feel daddy is giving 20 yearsolder than you energy.
So I started looking upcelebrities in their 60s.
I mean billions, but I kind ofnarrowed it down.
Johnny Depp it's a no for me.
Keanu Reeves yes, 100.

(10:13):
Tom Cruise no.
Brad Pitt Hell yeah.
Jim Carrey no.
Tom Hanks no.
Ma'am, eddie Murphy, he wouldmake me laugh.
Nick Cage Never.
Steve Carell yes, he is lookingsuper fine in his 60s with that
silver hair.

(10:33):
George Clooney Duh.
Stanley Tucci he's so cute andI also feel no one can 100%
confirm he isn't gay.
I know he's married, maybebecause he always just plays gay
roles.
Anyway, there are lots of names.
John Stamos is 61 and has gotto be the winner.

(10:55):
We love you, uncle Jesse, andy'all telling me that alleged
murderer Luigi Maggione is ababy babe.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
This week's being prepared tipfire ladder.
If you have a second-story homeor even a triple-story home

(11:17):
those are very popular inNashville, the row houses.
Do you have a plan to get outof your house if you must get
out through an upper window?
Did I just instill the fear ofGod in you Because you have
never thought of this.
I have a fire station 2.8 milesfrom my house and I hope I
never have to worry about this.

(11:40):
I bought a fire ladder offAmazon four years ago.
That is just sitting at thebottom of my closet.
Do I know how to use it?
Nope.
Do all of my almost 50-year-oldupstairs windows open all the
way?
Nope, the fire ladder, it's oneof those.
Once you completely open it,you can't get it small again.

(12:00):
I saw a reel on IG last weekwhere a ladder was built into
the window and like, kind oflike the ledge, and all you had
to do was throw it out thewindow.
I like it.
I know some of you who arelistening to this have had
personal experiences with housefires and I know it is nothing
to joke about.
Luckily, the pitch of our roofisn't crazy to stand on.

(12:24):
I assume my husband gets on theground first and I gently toss
a dog to him, and spring iscoming, which means tornado
season.
Now I have actually calmed downa lot about tornadoes.
In the past I was equallyfascinated, like I want to see
it, but also overreacting,panicking, like full on

(12:48):
panicking.
These days, if it happens pastbedtime, I just pop my melatonin
and if the good Lord takes meat 2 am, hopefully I don't
notice.
However, netflix on March 19this releasing a documentary about
the May 2011 Joplin, missouri,f5 tornado and I feel it will

(13:12):
release the panic in me I oncehad.
I watched the trailer and it isfucking terrifying.
It killed 158 people anddestroyed 4,380 homes.
My current home does have abasement workshop underground
from the garage Slay, so thathelps me mentally a lot.

(13:37):
We lived in Tulsa, oklahoma,for a couple years and stuff out
there got scary often, butpeople who were from there
weren't scared at all.
Like, oh, my elementary schoolgot hit by a tornado.
Like, okay, cool, and my homein Tulsa didn't have a room
without a window in it, so thatwas fun.
No safe room at all.

(13:57):
Anywho, if shit is hitting thefan, grab your car keys, tennis
shoes and your helmet and headto your safe spot.
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.

(14:20):
Oakley is in the Oakleysunglasses that have been around
forever and ever.
Go ahead and type 410 TrousdalePlace, beverly Hills into your
favorite real estate app.
It looks like it would survivethe zombie apocalypse, so I
approve it.
He also just sold arecord-breaking $210 million

(14:43):
home in Malibu, but I don't havethe address for that one and it
already sold, so who cares?
We only want current realestate that we can access.
Anyway, if you go on Zillow forthe info on the sale or all
about the home, it doesn't havean HOA.
I don't have an HOA because myneighborhood is so old.

(15:06):
Hoa is a scam.
If you scroll into the detailsit ends with a work of art that
could never be replicated again,shown to pre-qualified clients.
Only Now what the fuck has tobe in your bank account to go
see inside of a $68 million home.

(15:28):
Seriously, I mean, I guess Icould contact the listing agents
myself.
The estimated monthly paymentis $438,403.
What I would let amultimillionaire into my humble
abode.
So why can't I go snoop aroundthat home, take my cell phone,

(15:51):
sell tickets to see the insideto go towards closing costs?
I think my mom and I need toget our California real estate
licenses just to go look at megamansions.
Is this legal?
Surely someone has done this.
Anywho, sharon's bucket list isa travel to Beverly Hills and

(16:11):
look at homes, so I need backersfor the podcast.
Don't you want to support afive-foot-tall 70-year-old, one
woman's dreams, just for 20cents a month?
Let's help a boomer do boomerthings.
My 10-month-old Germanshort-haired pointer teeties on

(16:32):
the fronts of his legs.
He teeties on the backs of hisfront legs and at first I
thought this was funny, like, oh, look at him haphazardly tinkle
while walking.
This is our sixth dog and wehave never had this happen.
I had one dog that ate its ownpoop, but other than that, all

(16:54):
pee has ended up on the ground.
Well, I didn't realize how badit was until this week when we
noticed his legs are stainedwith TT.
They are yellow.
I feel bad, it is gross.
My husband read that sometimespuppies grow out of it after

(17:15):
puberty and you all know hestill has his balls and, yes,
they freak me out.
They get pink and they looklike plums and it's too cold to
bathe him right now.
So I went to Petco and I boughtsome puppy deodorizing wipes.
Now in Nashville we may get upto sunny and 63 next week so he

(17:37):
may get to experience his firstshower, but until then he will
be getting a whore's bath Now.
I'm going to pause right nowbecause right up until the prep
for this story, I thought awhore's bath was applying a lot
of deodorant and perfume becauseyou didn't have time to take a

(18:01):
shower when leaving the house.
But goddammit, wikipedia justruined this for me and if you
know, you're probably chuckling.
Please make sure all childrenhave cleared the room, because
the internet is telling me it is.
Quote a quick sponge bath byhand, using a wet washcloth or a

(18:21):
pre-moistened towelette toextend the interval between
showers or to clean up aftercasual sexual intercourse.
Well, hell, I mean, it makessense.
Old hussies back in the day hadto go from client to client and
had to be game day ready at anytime.

(18:43):
So now I guess I can't use theterm anymore.
It's making me uncomfortable,especially in context with a
puppy.
So anyway, this podcast is notsponsored by Summer's Eve, but
we gladly would be All right.
Y'all have a good week.
