Jesse And Jenna's Messy Podcast Podcast

Dear Jesse & Jenna

For as long as humans have existed, people have been getting buff as hell, but for different reasons throughout the centuries... People don't look like they used to. We've been cave-dwellers, tribespeople, fought plagues and mammoths. In the two million or so years humans have been around, it's only recently that people have had the time and understanding to actually think about our bodies, back when we were hairy grunters who died before the age of 22 we didn't really have the luxury of working on our pecs when we were just trying to stay alive, you know? It's time for the long, sweaty (sometimes confusing) history of working out!

Reality TV hits rural Ontario, huh?!

The roaring 20's!!!!! What a time to be alive... The economy was booming and people were starting to stray away from the norm. Cars, radio, cinema, television, sound movies…it was all brand new and young people were embracing change. In the 1920s, cuddling was a popular social activity with "petting parties" also called "snugglepupping" taking place all around the US. Cuddling may seem like innocent fun in 2021 but back then it was a great way to experiment before committing to a relationship or to marriage. As these parties gained popularity, there was obvious pushback from Conservatives because they saw physical contact between young, repressed men and women as another sign of the moral decline that was seizing the nation. In this episode, we go over the rise of petting parties, how they played a key role in sexual freedom, the haters and why they no longer exist. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button. CHEERS!

June is Pride Month

It's time for a wobbly history of... THE JELLO SHOT! Wobbly, get it? See what we did there? Oh yes, Medieval peasants were getting ripped on gelatinized booze long before frat boys and we'll tell you all about it in this episode and what caused Jello shots to shoot to fame in the 1950s!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What would be your reaction if your best friend asked for your husband to be her sperm donor? Is it a friendly thing to do? Is it creepy? Here is what our writer had to say: "Hi J &J, First, I want to say how sorry I am to have heard about Jesse's mom. She sounds like such a great person and thank you for being so vulnerable and open on your last episode. I'm sure it helped someone out there who is dealing with loss. So, this is kind of odd, even for you guys. I am 30 years old and I have a fairly good friend (we've known each other for 5 years). We became a lot closer throughout my pregnancy, she was super supportive and it was great having her help my husband and me out when we needed it. Obviously, she was around more often and she always commented on how perfect my baby was. I figured it is just what friends tell each other and I didn't really think much of it. One day we were sitting at the park and once again, she was talking about how cute and well-behaved my baby was when all of a sudden, she looked at me and said " Would it be okay if I asked your husband to be my sperm donor?" You guys, I almost spat out my coffee!!!! She didn't even use lube, just slid right in there with this extremely awkward question. I think she could see that I was uncomfortable so she went on about how awesome it would be if our kids were siblings, they'd be so cute and that since she is single, she would rather have a donor that she knows. I told her I would think about it, but I am creeped out. Am I an awful friend for thinking this is out of bounds? How do I let her down gently? Should I tell my husband? Can we still be friends after this? Can't wait to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks!!" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cocaine, booger sugar, blow...whatever you call it, cocaine has been around for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the late 1800's that it hit the market as a "cure for everything". Sigmund Freud was a huge fan and even the Pope carried around a flask of coca fortified wine on his hip. Toothache? Dandruff? Hay Fever? Cocaine was the magic potion that solved all of the world's problems. Until, it wasn't...  #JesseAndJenna run through the history of cocaine and its medicinal uses, the creation of Coca-Cola and the drug's downfall in this episode of The History of: Cocaine in Victorian Medicine!

STRAIGHT GUYS, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!!! Actually, this interview is for anyone who wants to improve their love life.*

If you are a fan of the show, you've probably heard us talk about Jesse's mom a lot over the years including our interview with her about her steamy affair with Bryan Adams! By now, you've also probably read the sad news that Jesse's beloved mom, Donna Reynolds, passed away recently on her 61st birthday. This episode is dedicated to her and her story of perseverance and positivity as she battled a lifetime with Rheumatoid Arthritis and chronic pain, while still managing to be the best single mom ever to four fabulous children. Jesse takes us through that fateful night when he got the call and had to drive across the city in a state of shock, and also shares some special, possibly supernatural signs he's been getting since her passing- including that she died on her birthday, who does that?! Her doctor said it is very mysterious and happens more often than people realize... We hope that Jesse's experience helps those who have had to deal with loved ones in long term care during the pandemic know that they are not alone, and same for those who have lost a parent at such a young age. THIS ONE'S FOR YOU DONNA, CHEERS! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're over a year into the pandemic and a new survey reveals the affect it's had on dating and people's views towards commitment and sex. If you thought the woman that used Gorilla Glue on her head was bad, wait until you hear what happened to this woman when she did it to her EYE. And the BIG LESSON OF THE DAY among lots more weird and unusual news headlines: Don't Make Sex Toys At Home! Cheers! #JesseAndJenna See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From creation itself to the manifestation of original sin, semen has SHOT itself across the face of religion for millennia. From Ancient Sumeria to Ancient Greece and then to modern religion, today we're looking at the religious History of: Semen & Religion!

Nipple piercings are interesting...They've been around for a very long time, however, they were never as popular as other piercings like navel and nose. We trace titty bling

Can you trust someone who doesn't trust you? Can you forgive the person you love for lying to you? Is he trying to manipulate you?

On today's episode you might get where you're going, you might be the victim of a serial killer or you might just get a ~ride~ in more ways than one. Today we're looking at The History of Hitchhiking!

Unfortunately, Jesse recently tested positive for COVID-19

Can you eat cake

Studies have proven that the best sexual interactions are often accompanied by lube

The dildo is the one object whose sole purpose has and always will be for sexual pleasure!

Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match!

Buckle up, it's time for another riveting edition of 'The History Of...' and let us tell you, there were very few rules when it came to sex in Ancient Rome...

Imagine using your married name for 20 years and then your ex-husband's NEW fiancee DEMANDS you change it... What would you do? "Dear Jesse & Jenna: My ex-husband's new fiancée recently contacted me, insisting that I give up my last name. She and I just happen to share a first name, which is unsurprising. It's a name that is as common as Hannah or Elizabeth. I think she wants the name to herself, which is understandable, but I still don't want to change it. It has been my name for nearly 20 years, which is almost half my life and my entire adult life. My reasons are not personal but professional: I married my husband in my early 20s, while in grad school (my diploma is in my married name) and so are all my major publications. We divorced amicably some time ago, and I never bothered to change my name; it just seemed easier to keep my married name. Since then, my career has really taken off, and I'm fairly well known in my field. My ex's fiancée thinks I'm "sick and stuck in the past" and that I should be "embarrassed to not let things go." That isn't the case at all. It's true that my ex and I talk rarely; we are polite when we do see each other. Though my ex-husband is indifferent about the name change, he won't get his wife to back off. Is it terrible and unethical to keep it?" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With so much business and socializing being conducted via Zoom

It's another listener letter but this time it's LIVE!!!! Danielle was brave enough to Zoom into the podcast to get our advice after being ghosted on a dating app. Here's what she wrote: "Hi Jesse and Jenna, Ok so I am having a small creeper moment and I need to know if this is too far over the line or if it's just ok enough to let go and let God. So here's the story. I matched with a guy on bumble and (I thought) we really hit it off. We spoke for a few hours and then I went to bed. Now the direction of the conversation left me with the impression that we would be speaking again. But when I woke up in the morning his profile had been deleted. Now over the course of our conversation I discovered that we had a mutual friend. So I asked said friend about him and got a last name, which of course led to me finding him on Instagram. Ok so do I assume he ghosted me and let Casper go? Or do I send a message and see if his profile got deleted? Is that far too creepy? Am I being too naive? What should I do?" I f you have any advice for Danielle, please let her know in the comments below and if you are stuck in a pickle and want some uncensored advice, feel free to email us (we can keep your identity a secret) at jesseandjennasmessypodcast@gmail.com. Cheers! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesse kicks this episode off with a sleazy story he heard about Sylvester Stallone and a reminder to always turn your mic off!

Can magic mushrooms help with anxiety? How do they work? What is micro-dosing?

There are a lot of essential life lessons in this episode, including Jenna's accidental near death experience!

Just in time for Valentines' Day, let's talk about the BIG D!

To celebrate a milestone, my girlfriend dressed up as a 100-year-old lady; apparently this is fairly common. However, she didn't stop there. She has now created an elderly alter-ego and expects to be treated as a grandmother while in this mode. She said it's like crossdressing and even suggested that I dress up so that I can be her "granddaughter." She has previously made me up, but it was only a costume; I never felt like a different person. She said that it would be fun to go out as grandmother and granddaughter, with me holding her arm or pushing her in a wheelchair. I feel like that might be disrespectful to actual old or disabled people. But I always want to make my girlfriend happy. Should I participate in this?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have tons of laughs talking about Bell Fibe's new prison comedy series called "PINK IS IN"! Executive Producer Rebekka Herron and Actress,Tricia Rainone, who plays Top Dog, join our messy podcast to talk about prison survival, filming during a pandemic, shooting nature documentaries and what makes them different than other prison shows like "Orange Is the New Black" and "Wentworth". We also take a peak behind the curtain at the Canadian casting process and dive into some personal stories like how Trish nearly impaled herself while tobogganing. O Canada! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kick things off talking about the shower! Which way do YOU face? There's lots in the news this week including a suspect who broke in to an apartment and pretended to live there (he ALMOST got away with it)! Then, if you've been talking to yourself more during the pandemic, it might actually be healthy! We explain the term "tulpa" and why science says having an imaginary friend might be healthy! Jenna also shares a spooky story about one she had as a little girl... Then, imagine having a deceased loved one live on through the magic of artificial intelligence? Microsoft is developing just that and yes it sounds just as creepy as you think. We wrap things up with stories from Reddit about the worst things people did as pesky children and teens- complete with our own naughty stories, of course! Cheers! P.S.

"Hey Jesse and Jenna! My friend listens to your podcast and told me that I had to write in, so here we go. Like a lot of other college students, COVID forced me to move into my Dad's place, which is fine, but he doesn't know I'm gay. It's fine, we get along, and that's not the problem LOL!  A couple of weeks ago I was really horny so I decided to bring my dildo into the shower with me. Pretty harmless but I guess I was really in a mood and I accidentally ripped a tile off the wall of the shower with my dildo. One tile, no big deal, except that it had a domino effect and a ton of tiles just started falling off the wall around it. There's now a hole in the shower that's about a foot wide and I have no idea what to do. My dad hasn't noticed because we use separate bathrooms, but I don't know what to say. Eventually, he will see it and asked what the fuck happened. Do I tell him what happened? Do I make up a story? Should I wait until I move out and hope he doesn't notice? I hear you guys are full of useless information so I am looking forward to your reply. Yours truly, Dummy with a Dildo" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're kind of hyper in this one so it's a fun episode! As always we kick things off with some personal updates including Jenna's new magnetic eyelashes, why she got flipped off at Loblaws and the dead pigeon Jesse found on her front lawn. OMG! Then we get to the weird news: first up is a hilarious story about a woman who got a note from her neighbour asking her to "stop screaming like a pig" during sex. Could you imagine? Speaking of sex, whether your libido has gone trough the roof during the pandemic or whether it has disappeared entirely, both are normal and Jenna explains the new study reporting that. Next up, a kidnapper with a heart; a criminal made off with a mom's car but her baby was still in the back seat! Listen to find out what happened. Next, we've all forgotten a password here or there but imagine if millions of dollars were on the line and you only had two guesses left? It happened to a rich Bitcoin guy. Finally, what may be the best non-violent revenge on a cheating boyfriend... It's a crazy world out there and we're just here to report it. Cheers!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MentalHealth is a popular topic during the month of January, especially this year, and so today's episode might seem a little out of character for this messy podcast because joining us to talk about the importance of mental health and his journey through it is Canadian actor and Motivational Speaker, Corey Dixon.

If you were trying to watch this episode on YouTube, apologies in advance- our camera didn't work, but we've still got the audio so it's kinda like old times! You know, people think they are so smart trying to find ways around the lockdown rules, but some swingers learned the hard way after mistaking cops for strippers at an orgy! We also talk about a new high-tech toilet that takes pictures of your butthole (we'll explain), and grave robbers who dug up some veteran corpses for a "wholesome" reason. Lastly, we wrap things up by reporting on a study that identified some phrases that if you hear them during a job interview, run! All that and more on another messy edition of Jesse & Jenna's Messy Podcast. Cheers!  P.S. Don't forget to keep voting for us daily in the 2021 FACES Magazine awards- we're up for Favourite Podcast and Favourite Interview Podcast in the media category.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey Jesse & Jenna, I'm 23 years old and I'm talking to my former high school teacher. YES, I know what it must sound like, but hear me out. He taught me in high school for a year and moved away to pursue a career in law (he's a lawyer now) and that was ten years ago. I haven't met him since. We've only started talking recently. We have an 11 year age difference. We connect so well because we bond over work, politics and dogs. He texts me every day but nothing inappropriate. He's also expressed how he wants to see me in real life and have a conversation in person. Is this a bad idea? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thank you for nominating us for the 2021 FACES Magazine award as Ottawa's Favourite Podcast and Interview Podcast! Votes can be cast once daily at facesmag.ca until Jan. 31, 2021. Jesse's nominated in a bunch of other categories too! Now on to the news: Have you ever found a dead body? It happened to a group of nosy kids exploring an abandoned house and we share stories about when Jenna's mom and Jesse's uncle each stumbled upon one! Then, a couple of fishermen found a naked man stranded in crocodile infested waters, we'll tell you why he was there and what the fisherman gave him to make him feel better! How about a snake massage to help with all your tensssssion? Why they are becoming more popular and why PETA is not happy about it. Next, why a man in Vietnam had mushroom-like growths on his ear drum (it's disgusting) and where young adults are learning about sex these days might surprise you- it's not from mom & dad or from school. No, it's not from this podcast either... Lol! Thanks for listening. Cheers! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Hey Jesse & Jenna, I'm having a peculiar problem with my girlfriend of 2 years. She is a self proclaimed witch and has been way before we started dating. I supported this, it's kinda sick having a witch girlfriend - makes you feel protected with all her crystals and shit. But now she's using this to get back at me whenever we have an argument. Just two days ago after a minor disagreement she stormed off into the bedroom, got dressed in her cloak, sat on the floor with a circle of candles around her, she made a potion? (it was literally just a bunch of herbs she got from the kitchen) and started chanting "I place a curse on this soul sucking man child." I genuinely cannot tell if she's joking or not but I get paranoid and scared and feel like I have to watch my back because what if theses curses are real? I asked her to stop doing it but she refuses. How the F do I deal with this issue?" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2021 is officially here! While that may be the number on the scale for many of us too, let's all try to make sure this is a better year so wear your mask! First up on this episode, hear about our totally reckless and immature NYE spent together in the park. Then, the weird news including how much bird poop is in the average icicle, why handsome but dumb guys do better on dating apps, a story about a couple of cheaters who dug a tunnel like El Chapo to do the dirty and finally why you should always proofread your resume before hitting send. Happy New Year!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Hey guys, I never thought I'd get the chance to write to you guys, but 2020 has been a weird one. My former sister-in-law is currently with this loser of a guy. He's broke, doesn't have a job and makes her pay for everything. I can tell it's really hard on her working a min. wage job while trying to support her child and her lame ass BF. About two weeks ago, I was playing around with my friends tik tok (I don't have an account) and I looked up her name. When I found her account I expected cute videos of her kid but I was totally wrong...it linked to her Only Fans page. I wasn't brave enough to look any further but I can't help but feel like this isn't because she wants to do it, but because she is so hard up for cash. I don't judge people for their lifestyle choices but I also don't think anyone should be forced into doing something that makes them uncomfortable. Should I ask her about it? If she needs financial help, I am willing to do what I can. If this is something she wants to do, I don't want her to feel like I'm judging her for it? Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut? What would you guys do? Thanks for my weekly laughs, your podcast is great! TT" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We open up with a story about Jesse crashing his car into his own house and wait for the LOL moment when Jenna gets interrupted by her mom. Then, if you've ever wanted to try one of those lifelike sex dolls that cost like ten grand, it's your lucky day! There's a guy renting his out for $250 a night and yes, other people have used it. Maybe you'd prefer to stick to bopping your baloney alone in quarantine which 51% of people have admitted to doing a lot more of in quarantine, but if you're trying to find love during the pandemic- don't trust video dates, a new study shows they are not an effective way to test romantic chemistry. Then, a story about a couple of the nicest pizza-loving cops ever and if it's your surgeon's birthday- reschedule! All that and more on this edition of Weird News on Jesse & Jenna's Messy Podcast. Cheers!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesse's harrowing ordeal with his toilet kicks off this episode! Then we talk about what happened to a woman who ate 5-day old sushi, sunning your vagina to boost your libido, burnt nipples, an unnecessary high speed chase, eating plastic and so much more! It doesn't matter what we write here, there's nothing like listening to the real thing- just hit play. Cheers!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DEAR JESSE AND JENNA: I have a loving partner but I cannot stop myself from seeing another girl on Friday nights for sex and takeout! I am 35 and my partner of two years is 40. She and her ex-husband have two children who spend Friday and Saturday nights with us. They are awesome boys age nine and seven and I love spending time with them. I would say that my girlfriend and I are happy and I would like our relationship to lead to marriage one day. When I moved in with her a year ago I got to know her neighbours, as it is a friendly street. There is one girl who lives down the road. She is 30, absolutely stunning and was newly single after her ex cheated on her. We hit it off right away. My girlfriend even noticed and warned me not to go there because she saw how naturally we seemed to click in conversation. One night I ran into this girl in the local KFC and offered to give her a ride home. I was on my own that night and she suggested we eat our meal together at her place since we were having the same thing anyway. We had a fun evening chatting, playing music and flirting. Yes, I knew I was heading for trouble but I let it happen anyway. We started kissing and that led to us having sex in her hot tub. Now it’s a regular thing. My girlfriend thinks I go to the bar for a drink with the boys while she spends quality time with her sons on Friday nights. I come home around midnight when she’s already asleep, then we spend a normal weekend doing family stuff. I feel guilty but I just cannot give up seeing this other girl. The sex is so hot and she blows my mind... Yet it’s my girlfriend I truly love, not this girl. It's just sex. I am even thinking of making an excuse to go away for work for a while to save me the heartache of this love triangle while I figure out what to do... Help! -Friday Fling See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up Jenna tells us about something terrifying that was on her flight from home to Vancouver! Then, a man marries his sex doll and has vivid adventures with her (probably in his head). Next, a guy goes to his doctor depressed about his wife cheating on him, only to find out.. Yep! It was with the doc! A new study says the smaller a guy's junk the more money he'll make, and a crafty flight attendant ran a little "side hustle" in the sky. Finally, Microsoft is developing app that can let employers know if employees look bored on Zoom calls? Are you kidding, who isn't?! I guess that's on par for 2020... Cheers!

"Hello Messy Podcast!!! I am a fairly new listener. I listened to your episode about the girl who doesn't like oral from her man and could totally relate to it! I really love listener letters and while my life is pretty boring, my friend has been pretty stressed about something and I figured maybe you could me some advice to pass along. My friend, Stacy, has an issue and I don't really know what to say without sounding mean. She's been with her boyfriend (lets call him Jim) for about 6 months. His best friend came to visit for the weekend. They threw a little social distancing BBQ outside and we had a great time. That night, Jim made Stacy sleep on the couch because he wanted his friend to sleep in the bed with him. She thought that was a bit weird and pushed back a bit and he got really mad! He said that they used to have sleepovers as kids and they would stay up all night talking. Not wanting to sleep on the couch and also being a little upset, my friend left and went home. Obviously she's a bit concerned because she doesn't think it's normal for two guy friends to sleep in the same bed. I don't really know what to say because it's not nice to assume something you don't really know. Should she bring it up again or just move on? Girls share beds all the time, is it really that weird? If you were in her shoes, what would you do? I'd love to be able to give her some great advice. I can't wait to hear back from you, A helpful friend" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before I start, I know that you both HATE ghosting, so please don't judge me until you read my entire story. I came over to my boyfriend's (of 5 years) house one morning to surprise him with breakfast and a video game I bought him only to find him naked, asleep and with his EX curled up in his arms. How I didn't rage, I will never know...apparently they didn't hear me come in because they were both still fast asleep so I closed the bedroom door and left the food and game on the kitchen counter. Obviously, I was devastated. I sat in my car and cried for a solid 30 min. Then I went and deactivated my FB and blocked him on all other forms of social media. As I drove away, I called my cell company and changed my number. I texted our family and friends and told them that we broke up and I asked them to block him without telling them why. My lease was up and I just got a job offer so I moved to another city within a week. I completely removed myself from him and didn't offer an explanation or a chance for dialogue. I removed myself from the situation to focus on my life and it worked. As hurt as I was after spending 5 years with him, it was easier for me to pick up the pieces without all the back and forth bullshit that happens after a breakup. Here's the deal....it's been about 3 years now and he has reached out through a friend and wants to talk to me. He says that he needs closure and I am not really sure what I should do. I am happy, and I have a guy that I've been seeing for a few months, but I am also curious to know what he is going to say. Do I meet up with him for my own selfish needs or just say no and continue to live my life?  I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say! ~Ghosting Girlfriend See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up a cheater is caught like an amateur in the sunglasses reflection of a selfie. Then, yes, poo cum, it's true. Why a guy says he can only cum when he poops! Up next let's talk about food! Why taste in grub may mean more than you think when it comes to dating. Also, why work may be affecting our libido and we finish with the nastiest spots at the grocery store. All this and lots more mess. Thanks for listening. Wear a mask! Cheers! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some good news to start! Jesse got ID'd at the wine store and tells us about a new purchase. Then, does "bro code" apply when covering for another man's infidelity? One guy learned the hard way! Next we go to India where a woman is suing her husband for lying about being bald, and a woman in BC tried to dodge her restaurant bill by dine and dashing through the ceiling! Finally, we commiserate over getting older with moments that make us realize it really is happening. Cheers!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest on this episode is a real live gay pop star! No, we're not talking about one of Jesse's G.I. Joes from the 90s, Jeff Graham AKA OMG Classic is a super successful blogger (Sparkling Winos) but he's also a pop star living in Toronto, but mentally in the nineties! Jeff says growing up as a queer kid in rural Ontario taught him how to cope with loneliness through expressing himself creatively. One time he even turned his parent's basement into an art gallery where he got his family to buy the art so he could save up for a karaoke machine. Jeff just released his full length album One Hit Wonder and it is our Aqua, Britney, Carly Rae Jepsen, gay nightclub gay fantasy come to life!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
