Back in my dancing days of the '90s, on occasion, dudes would dance up behind us with pelvic thrusts and what-not. I couldn't believe how they would embarrass themselves. This is still going on? I can't even. We checked in with Jenny-Jenny on Big Jim's House to find out her dance floor self-defense tips.

How often has Jenny-Jenny done this? "Oh, all the time. You've never just like barked at somebody?" I admitted that I had never barked and my own dance floor self-defense was considerably weaker than Jenny-Jenny's saying, "I wish I had thought of barking. I just, you know, swore at them profusely." I admitted that some middle-fingers may have been involved as well.
