From Stomach Flu Survival to Prom Season, Pizza Deals & Community Highlights
This week’s episode of The John & Jen Show delivers everything fans love with quick laughs, community news, and the kind of friendly back-and-forth only John and Jen can pull off. Sponsored by Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE), the episode opens with their signature humor and a shoutout to MTE’s “Good Energy” message.
From there, things get entertaining fast.
John shares his recent battle with a brutal stomach flu, an unintentional crash diet that cost him 10 pounds in a day. Jen turns it into a comedic infomercial moment, complete with imaginary side-effect warnings. Their cure-all recommendation? Demos’ famous Chicken & Rice Soup, which John admits he downed by the half-gallon.
Naturally, the conversation veers into cars, mufflers, and midlife-crisis-level Corvettes. Jen insists loud cars are only appropriate for 16-year-olds. John insists he’ll still be driving one at 90. Their debate alone is worth the watch.
The episode also pauses for a heartfelt tribute to Mrs. McPhee, a beloved community figure remembered for her decades of support for local organizations and MTSU. John and Jen honor her legacy with warmth and gratitude.
Then comes temptation: pizza. While John tries to avoid carbs before an upcoming vacation, Jen waves a slice in his face, right as Jet’s Pizza runs a major deal. Through the 18th, all Murfreesboro Jet’s locations are offering 50% off pizzas with code TNBO (Yes, just pizzas. No Jetboats. Jen insists they exist; John remains unconvinced).
On the community update front, Greenhouse Ministries is preparing to open the Ivy on Spring Coffee House, a new gathering spot offering coffee, grab-and-go food, and a mission-driven gift shop. The space is expected to open in late March or early April and is designed to be a warm, welcoming addition to the neighborhood.
Since prom season has already kicked off, John and Jen spotlight Gabby’s Alterations & Formals, where students can find dresses in every color and size, with alterations handled in-house. They also reminisce about Jen’s stunning gown from their House of David red carpet event.
Wrapping things up, the hosts share a sneak peek of Nashville’s new Putting Zone, a tech-enhanced putting experience that blends professional-grade turf with a relaxed “community country club” vibe.
It’s a fast, funny, community-packed episode and the full video captures all the moments in between.
