Happy New Year and welcome to 2026 with the John and Jen Show
We’re kicking off New Year’s Day live with laughs, reflections, and plenty of real talk. From empty roads and New Year’s hangovers to resolutions we may or may not stick to, this episode is all about starting the year together as a community.
We talk about:
- New Year’s resolutions and why some of us skip them entirely
- Doom scrolling, screen time, and being more intentional in 2026
- Wives tales and New Year traditions like black eyed peas, greens, making noise, opening doors, and even carrying empty suitcases
- Shoutouts to friends, family, birthdays, and glowing skincare recommendations
- A fun and honest behind the scenes look at work, relationships, and balance
- A full breakdown of PopStroke in Antioch including the mini golf experience, food, drinks, pricing, and why it’s worth the drive
- Local events and things to do including
– Cedar Glade Brews Cabin Fever Beerfest
– 90s Disney Movie Trivia at The Goat
– The Battle of Stones River 163rd Anniversary Living History Event
– Winter Wonderland Cookie Class at The Curious Kitchen
As always, this is a very interactive show, so jump into the comments and tell us:
- What did you do for New Year’s Eve?
- Did you make a resolution for 2026?
- What local events are you excited about?
