Gin & Juice Podcast | White Wine vs. Red Wine + Flour Packaging SUCKS & Missing Fighter Jet 

"I want to pop the trunk on being an adult" -- correct!

Quote of the episode: "the container store is able to RUN because the cereal industry has decided to crawl." 🤣🤣🤣

The way Cam is all in on Pop the Trunk 😂😂😂😂

The thought of Melissa in a neck brace at her vow renewal has me on the floor🤣🤣🤣

I like to hear Camm cracking up BTS. I wouldn't have been able to keep my cool if I was him. 🤣 I like all 3 of you together.❤️

Fellas here too Melissa…we here for y’all. Your Innanet brothers gotta make sure errone remains chill, nothing outta hand. We got y’all…the trunk shall be popped for you and Mel…and Cam too!

Cam is such a great fit…he just gets it.

I didn't grow up or raise my children with cut bacon. We just made it fit, and eventually, it will shrink while cooking.😂😂😂

Mel’s pop the trunk spoke to my soul today 😂. The flour and sugar bags…trash lol. Bacon packaging has to be the top worst design of all food packages.

Mel is wrong on the bacon 😂 my bacon stays whole because you dont fry it on the stove. Bacon in the oven on a sheet tray is the only way to go!

Cam is the brother/ice in this equation 😂 😂😂😂

I agree with everything said today. Let's pop the trunk on it all.

When I say this one of my fav episodes! I laughed so much!! Baby the pop the trunk segment was spot on! No lies told!

The grocery and fridge pop the trunk is my real life🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do something John!!!😂😂😂 Moira be sending me! This episode is hysterical

Oh and on Mel’s point of those trigger words for doctors. I had my first mammogram last year and had to go back because they were like they saw a spot. Had to do it again and then have an ultrasound. Doc comes in and says “I saw exactly what I expected to see” and paused😮. Then says “nothing”. Boy I was ready to swing on him knowing my family history of breast cancer. I was shook for days.

Tears!! On Tears!! On Tears!! On Tears!! Hands down FAVORITE Episode & Cam commenting in the background is the icing on the cake. ----Just made my day.

Repping for the fellas 🍾💪🏾

We need Melissa (the Gin and Juice Pod) to get a brand deal for this toothbrush double-setting plug

OMG, my hormones rage a couple of days before, and it just started around 38. My older sister said she experienced the same change. It's like all those years I never experienced PMS is catching up all at once. 😩😤😩 My dentist also told me to get rid of mouthwash. He said it's just a gimic, because most of them give you a false impression of "clean" from the mint flavor while making your mouth dry. I stopped using it just to see....my mouth has never been so healthy! I simply floss, brush, and rinse with water. Mouthwash is really only necessary for extra flouride or other special cases such as gingivitis and other periodontal diseases.

This has got to be the most relatable episode eveeeerrrr for me 🤣 the way I was like yeessss!!! with everything from flour packaging to pms symptoms to bacon packaging lol. I felt so seen 🥲

Dental assistant here- 1. The amount of Tori (bone) in your mouth makes the X-rays hurt more or less. 2. Were running because we’ll be radioactive if we stayed in there with the amount that we do every day (literally have to wear a monitor) but also a lot of offices now have the updated machine that is handheld and we can stay in the room with that. 3. Yes, please use soft, medium at most and protect your gums and enamel. 4. 18k is extremely high. Some offices are money hungry fr. We used to get in trouble is every single patient didn’t stop at the coordinator’s office so that they can push them to do treatment 🙄

“I can’t have surgery cus look y’all” 😂😂😂 Melissa is a whole clown! I had to pause and laugh at this! 🤪

I will say this. Doctors thought my mom had carpal tunnel. She even had the surgery. Turns out it was a fused disc in her neck. So the doctor is right to let her know that neck surgery is something that can happen. Sometimes carpal tunnel is misdiagnosed

25:58 y’all need either the old school fridge with the freezer on the top that has some more space than the side by side ones. Or you need to fridge with the big freezer on the bottom that has all the layers to it. Then you will have more than enough space for all the things.

My period is typically 7 days too, ugh. And I sometimes get bad cramps, and this time they were so bad I vomited! Pop that f**** trunk!! I’m right there with you Melissa. I want to have my kids and then they can take that uterus lol😂

Melissa should definitely get tested for fibroids. I had so those symptoms, was on BC and it ended up being that.

Ya'll are two hoots and a holla! 🤣 "Will Aleve work?"

I swear y'all are so funny on accident and on purpose! Mel said "are they broke again"! Why was that so funny to me? 😂😅

I’m halfway through the episode and I must say, this is my favorite. LOL Y’all remind me of me and my sisters when we get together.

Don’t cut my bacon!!! My pan is big enough!!! But I agree wholeheartedly with EVERYTHING else!!!

God's favorite here lol Melissa's period is a faithful 7day adventist

This is the most relatable ep I have listened to yet‼️Ty ladies ♥️

Moscato and anything by that Stella woman is juice. Reising, Cab, Malbec are my favorites. If I come across a wine that I don't like, I add a shot of Chambord (raspberry liquor) to it. It usually helps.

Bake the full strips of bacon 🥓. They shrink to the proper size and no one gets popped 😂.

This was the best. I have never. Laughed so hard. When the guy said and it only had two hot pockets😂😂😂😂

Y’all are so entertaining! I enjoy this so much!❤

Melissa, I'm a fellow PMDD sufferer and you are definitely not alone!!! Taking vitamin C and vitamin D has helped, along with a supplement called Jubilance that has minimized the mood swings a bit. But it's still rough. Like others have suggested, definitely get your hormone levels checked!!!

You should try Physical Therapy. I’m a physical therapist and we see these symptoms all the time. Consistent PT for 4-6 weeks will definitely help. We use manual therapy to help relieve stress and pressure off the disc and nerves that cause the pain to radiate down. Surgery should absolutely be your last option. Do not suggest at all!

3:38 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yass Liss!!! Moscato me please 😂😂😂

Popped the trunk on everything in the kitchen 😂

I’m with Melissa on this period stuff. I have all the same symptoms plus fatigue then be on for 7 days sometimes 14 😤

@Melanie girl SAME with the gums. Also make sure you are brushing in a DOWNWARD motion vs up and down. It helps limit pushing the guns up from our aggressive brushing. Use a soft brush and I find a mechanical brush helps me not press as hard.

Mel not all reds or dry and bitter. Pairing with food makes a HUGE difference! But also as a whiskey/bourbon drinker I also found some aged in bourbon barrel that I liked when I was trying new ones.

THAT BENT BACON ARM TOOK ME DOWN 😂😂😂

As soon as Melissa started on the nerve pain I knew we would end up at her not missing the renewal

Riesling is awesome and Moscato is Kool-Aid for grown ups🤭

“Do something John” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Somebody kids playing on that fighter jet in they backyard! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This show is so affirming.

I got my period on my 10th birthday and I’ve had all of the symptoms Liss talked about. I’m 27 now 😪 but also, my period has been on since my May period 🫠…it’s September. And I’ve been diagnosed with pcos, a polyp on my uterus, and I’m on antidepressants 😪

31:38 MELISSA GET OUT OF MY HEAD. I was literally complaining about pre period sysmptoms before having a period YESTERDAY. Why am I cramping all week before my period and then I cramp AGAIN when I get my period and the cycle continues. I need a break

Nobody cuts bacon, Mel! It shrinks when you cook it.

NOOOOO DON’T CUT THE BACON! Just cook it in the oven!

I only want a sweet wine, but Moscato gives me serious heartburn. It's unbelievable 'wanna go to the hospital' heartburn.

You are def not alone. I be getting 2 periods a month sometimes. Its so ghetto.

The period segment As I have gotten older (48 years old tuhday) my cycles have gotten longer and the cramps have gotten "worser". I thought it would go from 8 days to 3, maybe 4...not so. I never thought I would say this, but I am looking forward to menopause, at this point!

The dentist is definitely full of scammers😂😂😂 I went to get a FREE cleaning and then they were trying to tell me that I need to get a $375 teeth grinding guard. I said no Ma'am. I took myself to Walmart and bought me a guard for about 10.98. They tried it😂😂😂😂

That dentist sounds like a timeshare salesman scratching out prices 😂

I have a 7 day cycle too Melissa I be hating life 😭

Not yall putting the whole of ADULTING in a headlock! 😂😂😂😂

Melissa, I turned 40 in May. My hormones have been whooping me and my friends 40 year a$$. No one talks about this!! Its nice to have friends/family going through the same thing but geesh, I be struggling at times lol

Melissa you may need to go on birth control to get them periods and pre menstrual systems under control. As I got closer to 40 I too started having crazy symptoms and headaches making me vomit. The BC helps.

I just ordered my hello fresh box! I need to support the peeps! Love y’all! 👍🏾🫶🏾

Liss....the sugar cravings, depression etc can also be part of peri-menopause as well.

I was just complaining about the bacon packaging yesterday 😂

I had to have a hysterectomy because I had uterine cancer when I was 33. Best thing that ever happened to me was never having a period again. It did mess my hormones up though.

Yes I used to have all those symptoms like that so bad including nausea and dizziness. Try changing your diet cut your carbs and sugar, it will help you.

I feel Melissa.. im a 7 day full blown, pain everywhere. Throw up. Every 24 days. Only 1 week of peace 🙃

I love the Gin and Juice homework! Watching Love Island now. ❤❤

19:11 @MKOS try acupuncture for the nerve pain/pinched nerve. Helps WAY more than chiropractic or PT. Helps nerve pain and any muscle spasm from the nerve dysfunction.

That period lower back pain is THE WORST!!😫

I agree with Melissa, period symptoms are ghetto! I was told mine are normal too but I question that.

I've heard that if you do a cervical ablation it'll lessen and or end your period. I'm too nervous bc I'm regular like a mug and have emotional pre period symptoms and go full 7 days but my doctor offered the ablation....

6:27 they need to have the same device at the adult density that they do with kids. My kids dentist has a super simple machine the kids just bite down on and the machine moves around their head taking a full 3D panoramic image with no pain involved.

Try a wrist brace for your wrist in the mean time. Give the nerves in the wrist a little rest from pinching.

I know mine is coming because I cry. About ANYTHING! I’ll catch myself like wtf? Why am I crying? Then… ohhh! You red devil you! I’ll see you in a few days! 😭😭😭😭

I had to give ya'll the side-eye on the cook bacon, lil sisters! I have never cut bacon 🥓 so it can fit in the pan...🤔🫣, but what I will do is cut it to make it stretch (make my husband think he has 6 strips instead of 3) 🤣

i def have pre-period symptoms. it usually is 2 weeks before. now i feel like it last for 2 weeks instead of just 1 🤦‍♀

Why am I just tuning into this podcast when I watch most other ones y’all do since “The Love Hour”! This episode it literally my whole life right now😂😂😂😂 I have recently returned to the dentist after a break because I had a lot of health issues in 2021 that lead to a lot of doctor and dentist appointments and I was done being poked and prodded after my surgery. So when i went they need to do X-rays at the dentist and I made a comment to them about not finding a better way because this really hurts still in 2023 why? Then they pulled a tooth and said I needed a graph when i come back 😮 I have since rescheduled and cancelled some of those appts😢. Then i was just making bacon and had to fold the package to put in a ziploc to save the rest😂 and lastly I whole heartedly understand Melissa’s pop the trunk to the woman’s body because i have those same issues and mines last 5-6 days and shows up like clock work 21 days 😢!!! This is podcast Gold for me ❤

I buy the bacon that has the ziplock style enclosure so that it's resealable.

Not me at 28 having to change to a soft toothbrush because my gums are receding like a hairline 😢😭😭😭 like y’all are JUST now telling me

I’m 58, go to the dentist twice a year and have ZERO pain. I like going and I’m in and out in an hour and that’s when I get x-rays.

This is my favorite podcast 🎉❤🎉

Let go Mel I’m at the end of Love Island Uk, I’m ready.

Melissa, share the secret on the toothbrush!! I done brushed away my gums too thinking I was keeping my teeth super white brushing hard!! 😒😬

Liss, let the doctors know about your emotional symptoms. You don't have to deal with them just because its part of the cycle. They will give you anti anxiety/depression meds for that. It is real and it will help so much. And I understand the nerve stuff, but joint pain was one of my perimenopause symptoms. Had it for about two years and when I mentioned my aches to the dr, she said peri will do that to you also.

@Mel you need to try Moët Ice…two ice cubes and a little fresh lemon. Promise you will love Champagne hence forward!

Unpopular person…I cook bacon in the oven & I don’t cut it 🫣 But I agree that the packaging is STUPID! 😂

The best pop the trunk EVER!!!

Hilarious Gin and Juice 😂

See, y'all gotta get Wright's bacon! It's the best and has a Ziplock.

@mskevonsage I would definitely ask your OB about trying an IUD and/or doing an endometrial ablation to help with heavy bleeding and long periods. I had heavy and painful periods for so long and that effectively ended with me getting an IUD.

They do make a better machine for teeth xrays! Its like a little photo camera wand that creates a 3D image! I was shook last time i went cuz i was prepared for pain!

Exactly the same with brushing with a hard toothbrush and now my gums are jacked.

Are they (the military) punking us with this fighter jet? 😳😂😂😂 You lost it???!!!! 🤨

I'm with Mel white wine all day ya'll it's smoother to me

my period is a full 7 days too like if it comes on a monday its not leaving until next monday

Omg… Melissa! My body betrays me every SINGLE month in the EXACT same way…. The tears, the PAIN (everywhere), the DEPRESSION, the cravings, the way EVERYONE gets automatically STUPID because I FEEL some type of way…. 😭😭😭😭 my God… help me Jesus. The only thing that’s “ok” is the fact that it comes like CLOCK WORK every month. Like sis … just COME without the unnecessary warnings 😭

Melissa I'm a cancer and I feel like you are me and I am you 😂. I totally agree w the whole period and pms rant! It's like we are already emotional so the pms be having me sick of me 🤦🏾‍♀️
