Good morning. Happy Tuesday. Welcome back to the show. hi hi from my kitchen yeah i'm standing up right now we're gonna cook it's literally 6.30. Okay. There's like a lot I need to tell you. Hi, welcome back to the show. I feel like shit. I still feel sick. I feel worse today than I did yesterday. I have, here's my, here's my, my, my, my, here's my mindset. Podcasting will start your day off right. It might help knock the sickness. You're doing it early so you can get it out, get it out of the way. Uh, instead of like waiting till later to do it when I might feel even worse. so yeah um I have a lot to say it's 6 30 I just walked Jimmy I had to take him out

and my goal this week this is what sucks is on Sunday I told you guys on Sunday I told you guys that this was my quote-unquote health week I was gonna wake up at 5 30 every morning and go on my go on a jog because I haven't done that in a while I was like oh I'm gonna run first thing in the morning yeah it's out the window I couldn't I obviously like I felt like, should I just walk? Jimmy took them outside. And then now I'm back in here wearing a hoodie. I wanted to tell you something though. Like as I put my hoodie on, okay. Girls or people with buns on their head. Why is it so comfy? And so like, I feel so safe and like, okay. Putting a hoodie over your bun. Okay. Like you have a bun on top of your head.

then you put the hoodie you put the hood on over the bun and then you tie the tie the string around your chin it makes me feel like it made me feel better and I have my headphones like here's what's fucked up and here's why I'm I don't even understand myself but like I got my headset on my pop star like podcasting headset on under the hoodie over my bun like I'm I'm a full fucking I look like a I wish you guys could see the visuals right now this is an audio vlog but like, if I was on YouTube, I'd be like, here's the fit, here's the hoodie, here's the microphone, welcome to my kitchen, and then, honestly, so I've been chugging water since I woke up, but, like, I feel like, I'm like, coffee's not, coffee's not gonna make me feel sick, and I, the thing is,

is I'm sucking on this, now it's kind of lukewarm, I'm sucking on an iced Americano, just for, like, the taste, and I'm happy to report I can taste, my lungs feel okay, I don't think I have COVID, I just feel like I'm I feel like maybe this is the flu I don't know but I'm like I just want I just want to like feel normal so I made coffee it's kind of like shitty now but I'm gonna suck on it we're gonna cook rice okay we're gonna cook rice yesterday I didn't eat anything other than like rice and um I'm gonna do it again and I hated how I had to wait so long for it to cook yesterday so I want to get it done now and I just want to keep my body upright and I want to be I want to be in motion I don't want to I don't I feel like if you lay around first thing in the

morning if when you're sick it like makes it worse like I need to move my body a little bit but I don't want to do anything too strenuous like the walk was so leisurely or leisure like it was what's the word uh first of all who's who's feeling judgmental right now who's feeling okay wait I feel I feel a judgmental tone coming from the audience right now like bitch go back to bed it's 6 30 you're sick get off the microphone rest we don't give a fuck that you need a podcast 70s a week like you're just like go take care of yourself I know I know there's at least one of you out there in the audience right now saying that in your head and I get it but like this is why this is where champions are made okay this is this is what separates the fucking winners from

the losers people like me staying dedicated to their craft doing it anyways pushing through the sickness i'm gonna remember this moment i honestly you know what i want to do i'm gonna i'm gonna upload a selfie to patreon.com slash tjms my uh exclusive content content subscription service I'm gonna upload a selfie on patreon.com slash tjms go check it out uh if you want to support the show I'm gonna upload this uh picture of me right now standing in my kitchen with my fucking lukewarm iced coffee and my hoodie and my headset on and we're gonna make rice so I still have dishes from yesterday I didn't do because of course not I'm not gonna fucking touch those when I'm sick um even though like I did a few of them and then there's I don't

even know I like dishes come out of nowhere like what the fuck I did like half of them yesterday uh yeah actually I think I told you guys I was like yeah I just like last night I was like I just try to like oh I told you I wiped down all my counters with pine salt I was like I just want to feel productive so I cleaned my counters so I got to get my rice cooker out I have this little personal it's like it's called dash it's like a personal rice cooker because I don't need a big one so I'm plugging it in it's cute it's like white uh like me um dude I was gonna say something about the hoodie situation like it's a black hoodie but if it was a white hoodie I would look like a KKK member like it's it like I the hoodie but so when you put that okay I

obviously joking everything I say don't take anything I say seriously this is a podcast I'm trying to be an entertainer right now um fuck what was I saying about the the bun with the hood over it is like a point it makes your hoodie look like a pointy hoodie or it makes your head look pointy like that and really tall so yeah that's why I said I would look like a KKK member if I had a fucking white hoodie on um but it's so comforting like it made me feel better okay now I'm rinsing out yesterday's rice cooker and I'm not even gonna sponge it I'm not even gonna clean it really good I'm just taking I'm taking a paper towel right now shout out bounty paper towels the best ones ever um I'm like I'm a I'm a paper towel snob like my mom got me these ones at Costco like the Kirkland

brand that are dupes for the bounty paper towels but like no offense mom like those aren't it's actually, like, I feel like that was the only option, like, sometimes when you go to Costco, they have, like, one or two options for shit, and I feel like that was the only paper towel option, but, um, they're just not, they're not as, um, absorbent as, uh, Bounty, and they don't have the same, like, hand feel, I don't know, some other paper towels I really like, um, are the, what are they called they're like presto no the presto brand is like amazon brand uh presto i think is the brand of toilet paper i get from amazon yeah i think it's presto no they're called um they okay the the whole like gist of the paper towels now i'm rinsing the lid of the

rice cooker um the feel of those paper towels the paper towels i'm thinking of are kind of like a cloth like they they stretch like they if you pull on them they don't rip what are those called start with an s I don't know fuck it whatever okay let's get back to the cooking rice so the reason I'm doing this right now with you guys is because I'm trying to stay upright I'm trying to be in motion hopefully I'll feel better I'll be in a better mood after I do this um and also because I don't want to have to wait around whenever I get hungry today or whenever I feel like I'm gonna need to like I don't know I literally had zero appetite yesterday but I had some like aromatic uh aromatic I had some like rice I didn't I was like oh I could like order

some soup or something and I was like no I just want like warm rice um I don't know is that bad to eat when you when you feel sick someone someone out there coach me in the dms so if you're a nutrition coach let me know what should I be doing right now because here's the thing my biggest tip when you're sick is to fast like I will literally fast all day again and then I know like so at some point in the evening I'm gonna want food and I'm gonna want um this rice I'm gonna reheat it okay so I'm just trying to get it done now because it fucking took so long to I swear to god rice takes an hour and a half like maybe it's just bullshit rice cooker but whatever um I hate like waiting on food to be done when it seems I'm like okay I'm ready to

eat now like I don't want to have to like I rice takes a while and I don't know if it's I think it's yeah this rice cooker might suck um okay what was I gonna do I need water I really wish I had more liquid IV packets and I'm does anyone do this so so I have an empty liquid IV package from Costco in the cupboard it's empty right but the reason why I leave shit empty in the cupboard is to remind me that I need it like if it was gone I might forget to buy it like I might forget that I don't have any more or like I don't know how to explain it like if I see it then what I'll do is this is insane of me but like I'll I'll remember that or I'll see that it's empty and then I'll go over to my planner I could just do it right now maybe what we'll do we're gonna cook

rice we're gonna cook rice and then we're gonna um write a grocery list out we're gonna write a grocery list out because like uh I literally baked I think I told you guys this on Sunday I meal prepped on Sunday for the week if you open my fridge right now and look in the fridge like if you open so I'm opening it I literally have a pan of chicken thighs covered with saran wrap I didn't even put them in a Tupperware and a like a jar of spirulina powder and then a bunch of condiments and then some red onions that I don't use and then like I I love cooking I love cooking for myself I'm usually fully fully stocked I love grocery shopping I've had a interesting last couple weeks and like a lot of like chaotic days and like a lot of like

long days and shit and um what was it like two weekends ago or last weekend I literally just like ordered the same burrito three days in a row just to like because I had nothing else to eat and I don't know why like I have no I have a ton of like food in my freezer I just like don't want to cook it so yeah I'm like I so what I'm gonna do with you guys we're gonna cook the rice and then we're gonna write a grocery list I'm thinking I really want to go like I've been going to Costco lately and grocery outlet but I think I'm gonna go to uh Trader Joe's like I miss Trader Joe's I miss it I haven't been in a minute because I got Jimmy my puppy my golden retriever back in uh February January February or whatever and then for like two months

I did like Amazon grocery delivery and then my mom came and I got a Costco card and now I just go to Costco so like anyways dude I'm not even cooking the rice I need water that was I was like oh you know why we're on this tangent is because um uh I looked at my liquid IV packets and it reminded me that i need to buy more food and shit okay i'm filling up my water in my cuckoo korean water filter thing i've told you guys about i finally bought a fucking water filter um this was like months ago though so it's not really new and then on top of my water filter i keep a jar of jimmy's teeth there's currently uh two fangs two of his little fang teeth his baby teeth and then a molar

his molar was in the most random place it was like left out like he i don't know how it got there but it was on the top of my ottoman i'm like how did his tooth get on my ottoman i don't know so i just drank water now i need to get my strainer for my rice i have to move the laptop over to I keep my rice um up in a really high spa on my cupboard to grab the bag of it I'm just gonna set it on top of my garbage can to like keep it up higher and I keep my little measuring cup inside because I'm lazy like that or I don't know I just like leave it in there I'm gonna do a half cup is that usually what I do I don't know like about a half cup of rice oh i have to get my strainer can you hear the sound effects here it's like asmr i don't know

dude i'm fucking killing it i'm sick and i'm cooking rice and i'm podcasting at the same time who says women can't multitask or no it's not women can't multitask people people can't multitask women can multitask that's what it is yes we can I'm straight or I'm rinsing the rice it's crazy how much rice I used to eat when I was vegan like I would just eat rice like just rice for breakfast lunch dinner like any time of day it was like I don't even know how to explain I would do um rice sweet chili sauce and then lettuce like romaine lettuce and I would just like eat I would like scoop the rice with the romaine lettuce the romaine why am i saying that weird and i would um just like eat it i ate really simply

when i was vegan and i don't know like it was always good though it's been a while but now i'm like i don't know i eat every i don't know i like i just it didn't work for me i've told my vegan story so many fucking times like i was into like freely the banana girl shit i like watched those vegan youtubers back in the day and i got sucked into it and i was like oh i'm gonna eat fruit and like just like eat fruit like literally was raw vegan for six months and I didn't drink coffee and I don't know dude and I was dating someone at the time and I remember like when we were eating together it was always like a shit show I was like I was so I was so extra because of my dietary needs and I was like I hate like that's my thing now like I don't ever want to be that

person who's like sorry I can't have pizza I'm gluten-free or whatever like I just say I eat fucking everything to be I just for like social uh situations like I never say I can't have something on the menu like that is fucking annoying if you're that person and I like I don't want to be that that's my biggest fear in life is being that person again okay do I feel better okay I feel like talking is helping like it's like moving energy throughout my body like I'm waking up. The coffee is kind of sort of working. I don't know. Okay. Now I'm pouring water. Let me get the sound effect. So I poured the rice out of the strainer into the rice cooker thing. And now I'm pouring water. Can you hear it? Over the rice. And I just eyeball it. I kind of

have a, you know, I used to, like I said, I used to eat a lot of rice. I can kind of tell how much I need I always do a little more water than what's required I believe rice is a two-to-one ratio one part rice two parts water and I always do a little bit more than that so you know just like do it just like feel it out like you know but if you don't do enough water it's kind of like your rice will be kind of like I don't know like chewier or some shit it'll be like more um thick or not thick what's the fucking word like yeah chewier like less um soft
