Just So You Know

In this episode, J.Flo has some girlfriend gab time with Patty Barba as they talk about how quarantine isn’t all that bad, some of the good to come out of it, along with fashion, life, and their favorite binge watches. Guest, Patty, has gone from a teen and single mom, raising a special needs son, to a doting wife, entrepreneur, influencer, all-round amazing woman and is now trying to reinvent herself. The gals commiserate over trying to define and reinvent themselves, even thinking about starting their own Reinvention Crisis Center … but not really. Patty shares sound advice, not just for this chaotic time in life: If you don’t adapt, you sink; and fashion advice: If you can find it everywhere it is on its way out. Patty gives Jflo some makeup advice after she thought her makeup game was on point … until they got on video chat. The Lazy Ster topic selector game takes a fun twist when Patty turns the table on JFlo with the curiously intriguing question of, “Would you rather relive last year or a year of teenage years?” JFlo promptly wrote it down to add to her repertoire. Another special guest appears, not once but twice! Little Flo, JFLo's daughter comes in to ask permission to play outside and for JFlo to come watch her friends do a show. And finally, JFlo asked her famous last line, “Just so you know …” as Patty did not disappoint with her response.

In this episode of Tuesday's Special, J.Flo talks with Kelli Kristo, executive director of Project 150 in Las Vegas. This organization helps homeless teens within the Clark County School District by providing them with food distribution, education and empowerment classes, Betty's Boutique, additional resources and a scholarship program. Originating in December 2011 after a local news station ran a story on a high school that had 150 homeless students. What started out as a "Quick! Let's help in any way we can" has since turned into a year-round operating organization. In the podcast, J.Flo and Kelli talk about how Project 150 is helping those in need particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Families who have never had to use a food pantry before are now using their food pantry, fundraising events have been cancelled and students who rely on school transportation aren't able to get all of their needs met without in-person school. If you would like to organize a donation drive or make a donation, Project 150 accepts non-perishable items; new and like-new, trendy clothing (shoes, accessories, undergarments, hats, outerwear, etc.) and full-size hygiene items.

In a lighthearted episode 11, two of JFlo's internet friends, Jennie & Ryan Custodio, were passing through Las Vegas from California on a family RV trip. So, of course, they had to record a podcast. Except ... it started after they were day drinking, so we apologize in advance for the excessive talking over each other and things making absolutely zero sense. Before Ryan joins in, the girls, also known as J2, discuss how wedding planning online brought them together over 10 years ago and when they met IRL, or real people as their daughter would say. They prank call Spousey and share why their husbands aren't their emergency contacts -- they can't be the only ones? The discussion of how they ended up in an RV with their three kids for five days reminds JFlo why she is one-and-done with having kids. Jennie shares all about her 2020 and why her theme is “Shift & Pivot.” Say it with us: PIVOTTTT. When they finally (& thankfully!) start to wrap up, you will learn who the who the candle hoarder is in their house -- it may surprise you — and finish with the Lazy Step Topic Selector. Enjoy! We can probably use a little laugh or two on the week of an election.Follow this gang on the socials @JennieCustodioPhotography and @DJ_CrowdControl and the podcast @JustSoYouKnowPodcastIf you have any questions or thoughts for the show, or think you'd make a great guest, let us know!

Takai likes it (he tastes an Arnold Palmer for the first time and approves)! JFlo’s attempts at sound effects are ill timed. The gang discovers breaking news: (Some) guys from Seattle like blondes. The conversation turns to feet (again!) and can your career make you desire less sex? Finally, the gang gets way too deep on the topic of body waxing. Way. Too. Deep.

In episode 5, Dragon and Takai come back for more! Is the pandemic robbing milestone moments from many? Does size really matter?
