Hey guys, happy Sunday. It's episode 129. Welcome back to the show. Hey guys, what's up? It's Jacqueline. Welcome back to the show. I've got the Browns Steelers game on mute right now. It's currently 7.39 PM and I'm doing the show. So happy Sunday. If you're new, I'm here seven days a week. Go ahead and hit that subscribe button and head over to patreon.com slash TJMS. Just go over there. I'm not going to tell you what's over there. Just go over there. Okay. Patreon.com slash TJMS. Go on a little scavenger hunt, little Easter egg hunt, figure it out. All right. Uh, yeah, I got the game on mute recording the show. I really feel like I have my shit together. It's Sunday. I have so much

to report on. I really feel this is the first time in a while. I feel like I really have my shit together. So we're going to talk about it. Um, I'm going to take you guys behind the scenes a little bit of the podcast and what, what it's like to be me and have a show seven days a week. so I'm gonna get into that story time segment um but yeah but first but first I do want to say um I hope your 2021 is going well so far um I just got a DM this is current it was about I don't know 10 minutes ago it was complimentary about you know I'm I seem happy what did he say fucking you seem to have such a genuine genuine smile on all of your photos how are you staying positive How are you staying so positive with all of this going on?

And I said, thank you. I said, I try to stay in the moment and have fun every day, no matter what's going on in the world. Blah, blah, blah. Have you always had that mindset? I feel like that's what it is now. I've decided, because you have to make firm decisions about your life and what you want to do in this world. And I've decided that I'm shutting out the noise, shutting out the drama with current events. And I'm choosing happiness.

I'm, I'm, I'm putting happiness first and that requires me to have, uh, like what, what is it called? Uh, I've got to be deaf a lot of the times about current events and focus on my grind, focus on what I'm trying to do with my life and my goals. And that's what, that's what makes me, I guess that helps me be the best version of myself because whenever I'm sucked into the negativity and the, the just bullshit on the news and what's going on. It's, I feel like it, it distracts me from what I need to focus on, which is the grind, the grind, the grind has so many things under that little umbrella.

The grind umbrella has so many categories. I mean, I could go, I could do an entire podcast about my specific grind, but anyways, yeah, I hope your 21, 21 is going well so far. And, um, you just try to, you're, you're working on that, that happiness thing and maintaining it. because you can't always okay why is this why is this I hope you're happy podcast I'm fucking I mean it uh the reason I'm saying this is I really hope you guys all set out this year with the same mindset as me or something similar where I'm like I don't want to have anything to do with that 2020 energy I want to flip it and fucking focus on good things and positivity this year so anyways all right I woke up I drank coffee guys I'm gonna do my vlog like what I did my

audio vlog right now I woke up I drank coffee whoo you know just black I had four espresso shots black nothing in it um I went on a hike okay this is important information I did a little Sunday morning hike. I got up there early because I didn't want it because it's Sunday. This place I go hiking is always crowded. I'm hesitant to tell you guys where I hike now because I do it a lot and I'm like, I got to keep it on the DL because I don't want, I don't know, I'm a little bit freaked out. Podcast is growing. With that come stalkers and freaks out there. So, and I'm volunteering that up right now I'm like look it I shouldn't even plant that seed in people's minds but anyways I went on this hike early because I wanted to beat all the tourists

all the people that are you know all the like the midday people that hike so I did it early early I uh what did I do on the freeway I mean I drove on the freeway I feel like there's always something fun to report on you know my my drive up there it's kind of like a a little road trip I do, it's like 20 minutes, but, um, cars are flying, man. We were all doing like 85. It was great. I love California. I mean, there is no, it's 65 is the suggested speed limit, but no one goes it. No one goes that fast. And I felt like for a Sunday, it was a little, it was a little bit out of control, but you know what, as my dad would teach, as my dad told me, you got to go with the, you got to flow with traffic, right? You don't want to be the jackass doing 65 when everyone's

doing 85. So I'm going with the speed of everyone else. And, uh, I got up there quick, uh, put on my, I had slippers on in the car. I, I like walked to my car with a coffee mug in slippers, my little fuzzy cheetah slippers. And I, I was like basically in pajamas on top of the yoga pants, if that makes sense. And, um, like a PJ top. And then I had a big coat and I brought shoes with me. And anyways so I was driving up with slippers and I parked there and I saw a car and I got okay so there is a vehicle in this region that gives me so much anxiety if I ever get near it because I just know who it is and I can't be by this car or around this person so I saw it it was parked about six spots to my right and I was immediately like oh fuck I put on my mask I

hiked with my fucking mask on and my sunglasses and big headphones over my ears I covered my face as much as possible I was like I cannot be seen at all by this person so just a little inside information there I was like fucking freaked out so whatever I went on the hike was great took me like I don't know an hour and a half went to the beach the waves are still huge out here in San Diego uh I don't know just like good energy I feel like a lot of people are happy they're out they're having fun and um a lot of families going up there with their kids and I was like that's gonna be me someday I just know it I got dads with their kids on their shoulders the mom's holding a baby in front of her like in her little satchel fucking what's it

called you know the little thing that the baby's like facing the mom on the chest and then there it's like a little backpack in the front yeah so the mom's like that the dad's got the kid on the shoulders they're walking up the the trail it's just like a it's a sweet thing to see you know as I get older I'm like yep I want that yep please someday God bless me with that because I don't know I feel like I'm seeing into the future when I see families I'm like oh that's what I'm gonna do pretty soon here so um it was a great hike drove home I it's Sunday I did a little self-care Sunday you know did a glycolic peel on my face shaved I did a mani-pedi I soaked my feet I did my own pedicure it was disgusting um actually you know what shout out to my sister

like a month ago she gave me a really good pedicure um and I did that baby feet peel thing where you put that acid on your feet. Do you guys know what that is? That foot mask? It's like all over Amazon, uh, and social media, people put on these little like slimy plastic boots. And then for two weeks, your feet peel like all the skin peels off. So what I'm trying to say is my pedicure wasn't disgusting my feet have been like really nice lately so anyways I did that um and then I put in my headphones listen to some jazz music I did uh what's it called jazz vibes on Spotify I listened to that playlist no phone had all my planners out all my journals my laptop I planned my week um it felt good I was like in the zone for good

I don't know it was like an hour of just focused work sitting at my laptop uh made another coffee of course um that's when I say you know when I started the podcast I'm like I really feel like I have my shit together it's literally because I spent an hour planning my week and I felt I felt like I was on top of my shit it's all clear to me everything's like like color coordinated and written in my planner and fucking perfect so I don't know I did that and then I made a salad for lunch like this big you know those chopped what are they called you can buy a salad in a bag and it comes with all of the toppings and dressing and everything so I made one of those but I'm terrified of eating like just that because of all of the fucking like bad like dressing ingredients

because I just say fuck it and I put the whole bag on there of of uh like southwest dressing right which is full of like canola soybean oil canola oil bad shit so I know that going in it's not the best to ingest that kind of uh oil but because I'm I'm more of an olive oil bitch an avocado oil bitch you know that kind of stuff not canola and yeah so whatever I risked it I fucking risked it I think I don't really care that much but what I did is I rationed so because normally I like if I didn't give a fuck I'd eat the whole salad out of the bag I feel like most people do that but what I did is I made um it's so random I had like a southwest salad like a little bit of that probably like a cup of that so I wasn't eating like all of the dressing packet

if that makes sense and then I did my own mixed greens which I chop up with scissors have I guys have I told you guys about my scissors thing I think this is the this is story time I got to tell you guys about scissors and and me um we go way back you know I just remember starting off kindergarten kindergarten uh cutting shit out going on the line making sure I was doing it correctly uh fold on the dotted line cut them cut on the solid line I think is what it was and then you know ever since then scissors and I've been uh we've been tight so ever since I've been on my own in my own apartments which I've I've literally had two roommates ever two three yeah I've only ever had so but I've mostly lived in my own apartments

like I do now um I cut everything with scissors like and it's mostly because I eat a lot of salads I'm a I'm a salad bitch I love I don't care what you say salads are great there's so much going on there there's so much you can do with a salad I love them but I cut my leaves with scissors. So small. Like I, there is nothing worse than a big piece of lettuce in a salad. Like I hate that. So anyways, I was cutting my scissor or cutting my salad with scissors today. Cause I like it really, I like my, I like my greens fine. I don't like them like big. And like when I go to restaurants, like I'll go to a really nice restaurant and their salad leaves are so big and I'm literally sitting there with my knife and fork cutting it

because I just can't do it. Especially Caesar salads. Like, I don't know, that romaine is always way too big. So anyways, I'm cutting my salad today and then I get a phone call from one of my patrons. That's one of the perks. Again, I didn't tell you what patreon.com slash TJMS is. I'm not going to tell you on this episode. I usually tell you guys, but not today. um one of the benefits this person gets to uh I guess utilize or have is my phone number okay so my patron called me today uh he's a top tier patron and he had to clear up something he said to me about pass interference in football and I just want to shout him out Ozzy thank you for the call I will never forget what the yardage you explained to me was ever in my life and that was

a really uh nice view to clear it up with me because the other night when he had his patron call uh we were talking about football and he said something wrong so anyways he called me during my salad cutting process and uh yeah it was great so anyways I ate lunch oh what did I don't finish what I put my salad I had that southwest canola canola oil slaw shit my own mixed greens I had fucking ground turkey and a little bit of butternut squash cubes cubed up and literally salsa okay fucking a I just like you know when I was a kid I would watch my mom put bowls of food together and I'd be like what the fuck how does that go together is that looks disgusting but I feel like I do it now like I don't really I'm a simple I'm a simple person

when it comes to food like I'll take the most like basic ingredients and throw them all together and make it good and I feel like that's what I did today with this um anyways so I ate lunch and then I just kind of chilled I had the uh what game was on today earlier fuck Tennessee aren't they playing Buffalo I don't know one of the games I don't I'm watching Steelers Browns right now on mute um they're in the third quarter I believe dude shout out Baker Mayfield holy fucking what a great quarterback um I'd say one of the best looking in the league one of the best looking in the league for sure um he's got a great face well anyways I was watching the game earlier got tired took a nap um I have a echo dot in my bedroom that

I never use so basically I can talk to it you know it's like the Amazon echo or Amazon Alexa thing I never it's like you know when you see something every day and you don't you just see it so you're not paying attention to it it's just like there that's how my echo is and so I finally was like wait a minute I I can I can talk to this I can set an alarm so I don't oversleep this nap because I knew if I don't set an alarm I'd sleep two hours and you know that that would not be ideal I'd shit to do this afternoon so I was like hey Alexa or whatever fucking wake me up in an hour and that bitch woke me up in an hour that nap I took was the deepest it was like the it was a hard nap and I used to have earlier in the podcast days back in I'd say September um I had gotten

gotten on guys I don't even care saying this I'm just like at the point now where you probably already know this I have a lot of people that listen to every episode I got on that antidepressant for the first time. And I feel like the first month of having it made me take the most, like the side effect for me was like every single day, like clockwork in the afternoon, two hour naps where I would literally be sedated, knocked out. I would sleep so hard. Anyways, today's nap felt like that again. And I haven't had one of those since literally like September. So it was great. It felt good. I was like heavily sleeping on my new bedding guys. It feels great. It feels great to feel like I'm living or I'm sleeping in a hotel bed now.

I don't know what I was doing before. I felt like what I was doing before. It was sad. I mean, I had, okay. I had average bedding, but when you upgrade that shit, when you get a new mattress pad, I got this new topper that's like memory foam. all new down feather pillows, uh, down comforter, uh, duvet cover, two types of sheets, new, like a new pillows. Like everything's like set up now, fresh. I sleep so good in my bed and I look forward to sleeping where before it's like, I didn't know how bad I had it. I was sleeping like shit compared to now. So, um, anyways, I took a nap, slept great, woke up to make, made a cappuccino um got like energy I was like oh it's five it was like 5 30 so I just rolled

around on my yoga mat um listened to what Rogan episode was it just fired me up I like listening to athletes and Olympians you know when he interviews like top performers this guy was a wrestler what was his name Joe Rogan experience um Jordan Burroughs yeah I listened to that episode and did yoga um stretch my hamstrings I like to do hamstrings really intensely three times a week to maintain my because I feel like in yoga it's a crucial thing like to be able to do certain poses and like especially like splits anything like where you're doing splits you really have to stretch your hamstrings so I was working on that tonight and listening to Jordan Burroughs and I just want to say something about listening to Rogan on Spotify um I guess this is probably

the same for everyone but you know how there's ads in the beginning and it's like this episode is sponsored by Athletic Greens and it's fucking CBDMD and fucking Manscaped and fucking you know he's got all his, um, commercials or whatever, their sponsored ads first. And then I find myself and I'm, I'm asking you guys a question. This is the question for you. Uh, shoot me a DM. Do you guys sit there and like scroll really quickly through each minute of the fucking, uh, what's it called? The, uh, ad part before you get to the main episode. Cause you can't just start the episode without the ads. So I dunno, is anyone talking about that? Is anyone dealing with that like me because I just think it's it's kind of funny I've been catching up lately because when

I was home in Washington I wasn't watching any of my regular impulsive episodes Rogan episodes like any podcast like the ones I listen to every single week so lately I've been listening to a lot of Rogan and it's been nice um anyways so I did that and Steelers Browns game came on I made some tater tots and fucking, uh, now I'm podcasting. So there's my day. Um, by the way, before I did this episode, this is the, this is the story time where I'm going to take you guys kind of behind the scenes a little bit. Um, it's starting to hit me like, okay, so I've done this 129 days. All right? I really want to zone in on, I guess, my podcast segments. Like each day of the week, you know, I could have, and I've mentioned this before, but I've never really committed to

anything yet except my Saturday Q&A. So I'm going to list some ideas here that I came up with and I want to hear your feedback so you guys always you know it's great the one thing I love about the podcast is if you're listening you probably relate to me in some way or whatever like you feel like you know me now at this point a lot of you so I appreciate when you guys will shoot me a dm about a podcast and it's like we can talk about shit because you've you know it's like we have this connection so uh this is what I want you guys to DM me today just send me like your feedback on on these segments and if it would be interesting to you because I mean I'm a curious cat I like a lot of shit I feel like I don't what I normally do on the show this is again behind the

scenes I'm a podcast host here we go I normally go over my day my audio diary vlog whatever you want to call it where I tell you guys what I've been up to and then like shit that happens to me and then my rants about something I encountered or whatever so that's the I feel like that's the bulk of the show and then I trickle in news pop culture that like current events and that's usually after so I like doing that because I like to know what's going on in the world like here's the thing though like I said in the beginning part of my happiness and part of keeping myself just like positive is keeping a safe distance from the bullshit so I don't know I don't all of a sudden want to become the politics fucking news reporter you know I don't

want to have to like come here every day to update you guys on the current situation with government and like the news because I just don't it's not I want to have fun I don't want to get fucking dry and talk about that so well with that being said with that being said it's been interesting lately and very dramatic and full of gossip so it's been fun to talk about um but I can imagine once Biden's in and we all take a nap for four years like I'm not gonna have much to talk about. So here's what I got here. Just some overarching basic themes. We've got news and politics. Okay. I just, I mean, I'll keep trickling that in, but it's not going to be like a main thing. Culture. So think of like the Jacqueline Monroe show. You're a listener. You tune in every

day. What do you want me to talk about? Because I think the best thing I do is story time where I tell you guys stories about my life and um you know how I got here my hero's journey like my early 20s like what was I doing before this that's fun to listen to or I guess for me it's like fun to sit and reminisce and talk about stories and stuff so I feel like stories is huge um I guess here we go so I have like culture food and drink travel lifestyle science sports health relationships listener requests obviously guests which is snail pace right now the guests are coming on at this in slow motion I was like 2021 I'm gonna have guests what's going on jacqueline week two fucking a all right we got here's more topics um like quote of the day trip

tips and tricks um rants how shit works fashion trends music weekly challenges like i could do something each week I was thinking of having you guys vote like in an Instagram poll like I could put myself so I tried to do this a couple years ago I was like every week in 2018 or 2019 I'm gonna do a weekly challenge where I try something new for seven days or five days so I was thinking that might be fun to maybe once a month do a do a seven day challenge where I'm like trying something completely new and you guys vote on it in my Instagram story like I'll do a poll um because I'm all about like trying hard shit and like overcoming something that's not easy for I could do it for a week you know and every episode I could update you guys talk about it

talk about my experience there's a lot of videos like that on YouTube where people will do like I did fucking I went vegan for seven days and I did this this week or I you know did crossfit for seven days or fucking whatever it was um so I thought of that might be fun um this is so random kind of related to that I have this picnic basket and I bought it like 2019 when I started like YouTubing again I thought of having you guys vote on ingredients okay this is so random I thought okay I'll have people on Instagram vote on random ingredients that do not go together they vote and then just like the show Chopped on Food Network I would buy those ingredients and then do a video on YouTube of me making making something with those ingredients

I couldn't do that on the like I couldn't do that on the podcast necessarily but like that might be something fun for Patreon videos or like maybe IGTV I don't know but I thought that might be fun to do a random like bullshit cooking video with like tomato paste pop rocks mayonnaise and chilly you know like somehow I'd make that into I don't know um anyways what else here I got weird stories and conspiracies negotiation tips I like learning there's a podcast I listen to um every now and then let me find it right now it's called because i'm really into what's his face negotiate it's called negotiate anything who's the guy the negotiator guy

oh my god he's got a great book i haven't read it yet yeah this podcast to listen to is called negotiate anything like here's a title of one of their episodes The Importance of Preparation, Emotions, and Relationship Building Through Negotiation How to Listen to Connection and Persuasion How to Navigate Awkward Conversations in Business You know, it's good to, like, listen to this podcast because this Negotiate Anything podcast because it kind of gives you tools for, like, communication tools, especially in, like, serious situations and conversations where you're like, okay, how do I navigate this? Like, this podcast does a great job at detailing that.

So I thought maybe I'd do tips. Like, you know when I said tips and tricks earlier? Maybe I'd do negotiation tips. communication tips uh maybe with the opposite sex like for guys like tips on how to talk to girls or like how to like what girls want um I always like that when guys talk about uh like they it's like the opposite what what do they do they talk about girls and like what they the like girl what girls should know about guys like what guys should know about girls that kind of stuff that's fun so again like I'm listing these off as podcast segments that I want to

I don't know just play around with in the next season of the of this show in the future months because um I don't know I just want to like make it more fun and I guess entertaining than just me talking about my day you know I want to learn I want to grow I want to have fun honestly it all comes down to that I just want to have fucking fun so if I could look up like I don't know just just fucking relationship funny relationship stuff that might be fun to do or stories uh new tech news I could talk about the stock market because I'm in it right now I'm like you know really getting involved for the first time I could talk about bitcoin something else I'm in um oh another topic I wrote here shit I'm unlearning shit I'm having to unlearn

like getting back to my intuition because we've all been maybe you can relate to this I feel like I wrote that because I addressed last year that I've I've been programmed and super influenced by social media and I felt like it warped my or it stripped my intuition because I was watching all these people like live their lives and then it was influence it was like making me question myself and I was second guessing the steps I was taking during the day about like my routines and my career and like how I'm living and everything so um now I'm unlearning it and kind of like finding my center again and crawling back to my intuition a little more each day which feels really good I think that's why yoga yoga feels really good right now because it makes me feel

centered and like connected to myself and like I've I've this closeness because it's all about like the deep breathing and you have to sit and pose for you know six breaths or however many seconds you hold the pose and you have to sit there and think and um I'll be honest like I listen to a podcast and a yoga night you can't really do that like I don't I stretch when I listen to podcasts but when you're doing a float like unless you're listening to an instructor talk I need silence or calm like music like I can't have lyrics or anything so anyways yeah I could do like intuition um but yeah so those are some of the like I wrote before the show tonight I'm like got the Browns game on and I'm eating tater tots right and this stuff

uh as like ideas you know this show started out this show started out in September on September 4th and I'm gonna grow and the show's gonna grow and uh I don't know I just I'm excited for the future I'm excited to like I have endless ideas everything I I it's like it gets me super excited because i don't know i just love i love what i do this is my passion this is my dream job this is my dream everything so um i want to make it a good time for you guys and yeah okay drink my liqueur i would say um back to getting my shit together i feel like the week home or the first week back from going home for a month for the holidays was rough. I expected, like I wrote down a plan. So I

wasn't just like being a lazy fuck, but I feel like this is going to be the week. I feel like I'm on top of my shit. Cause last week I was like, just, it was rocky. It was a rocky week where this week I definitely have that like energy. I'm going to, I'm going to attack, attack attack this week and um kick some ass so that being said um that's it episode 129 it's my sunday episode i could i don't know could i could i read like let me read something here i'll tell you guys what i wrote my planner fuck it you guys want to know what i wrote on my week plan. Um, shit. Where's my January? I think my brother's birthday's in like a couple of weeks. Holy shit. And by the way, I know I was like, Oh my God, I can't taste a few days ago. I'm still

fine. I don't have COVID a hundred percent. There's no, and maybe I did. And that's probably bad to not get tested and know for sure, but I feel a hundred percent. So whatever. Um, I literally write. So here on my planner, I write, I actually write coffee as the first thing I do in the morning. Like I write it on my planner because it makes me happy. So I wrote coffee. So tomorrow, episode one 30 top of the list, uh, 10 K steps. That's something I'm trying to do. Like no excuses on because last year I felt like I sat around my apartment a lot and I wasn't really stretching my legs and walking anywhere so the goal this week is to hit my 10k steps every day which and my apple watch comes Friday so I'm super excited I'm finally getting an apple watch

and it'll help me I think with my steps just like keeping track it doesn't count count steps it does like everything I'm really excited to get it um so coffee yoga so this is like from around like 6 a.m coffee yoga shower podcast then i'm going to make content for patreon lunch break or excuse me work lunch break work and then around like five take a walk I have to call my dad tomorrow um I wrote my gratitude already which is like jumping the gun because it's not Monday but fuck it I wrote it because today on my never mind okay so that's kind of like what I do um if you're curious coffee yoga shower podcast make content work take a break for lunch work go on a walk and then at night I usually do more like
