in Washington by the way right now everyone's in bed I'm awake uh Jimmy's chewing a piece of Tupperware next to me kind of being obnoxious he's really getting um independent on this trip been like he's being a lot more mischievous than normal he's testing the waters with me every day now that's uh because we're in a new environment and it's kind of funny but yeah he's currently chewing a Tupperware container next to me if you can hear it um anyways I don't have anything to drink I probably should have gotten a Diet Coke before I started this but I didn't grab that it's kind of what I drink here at my mom's house okay anyways I'm doing BuzzFeed quizzes to not I'm knocking out like seven podcasts in a row so today's podcast quiz is called

oh should I do I have two queued up this one's gonna be okay I'll do this one right now and then I'll do the next one for the next podcast make a big bowl of pasta and we'll reveal if you're if you're more of a dog or a cat I don't know I was out on the pool deck with my mom she's like Jacqueline she listens to the podcast every day and she's like Jacqueline I love it when you do those quizzes I love those buzzfeed quizzes and here I'm thinking this is like the most honestly corny stupid ass kind of podcast I can possibly make but it's brainless it's mindless I don't I don't know I can like talk and tell stories while I do it but I hope you enjoy these too like she does whatever uh let's make some pasta and figure out if I'm more of a dog or a cat

uh first question pick a shape I gotta pick a pasta shape we got penne spaghetti linguine gnocchi bow tie pasta or macaroni Jimmy you gotta take that away right I gotta take this away he's uh getting his midnight or his late night zoomies he's so much energy because I just gave him blueberries he liked blueberries he discovered blueberries on this trip and he doesn't um he can't he won't stop farting honestly I feel like he's farting because the blueberries are full of fiber or something but um Jimmy I'm doing this in one take I got like four to go after this please no good boy okay pick a pasta shape um I'm gonna go I'm gonna just just base this off what I'm feeling right now. When I'm eating pasta, what would I pick out of these options?

What one do I, I love linguine. I like a thin noodle. Okay. I like a stringy noodle. Penne's great. Gnocchi's great. I'm going linguine. You know what? If I have a choice between linguine or spaghetti, I'm going linguine. Can't beat it. Honestly, it's a classic shape. it holds it it holds sauce nicely I'm going linguine all right uh pick a sauce by the way my family just went out to an Italian dinner and we had linguine we had a linguine what do we have a bolognese we split a linguine bolognese is that what it's called I don't know something like meat sauce with linguine at dinner tonight and it was good so yeah I just had that so I might as well just, like, stay on theme, or I'll just, like, pick the options that match what we had for

dinner. Pick a sauce. Marinara, bolognese, bolognese, bechamel, pesto, cheese sauce, or garlic butter sauce. I mean, look, I'm honestly, like, when I eat pasta, I want bolognese. I love pesto, though. My sister got pesto on her plate, and I took a little sample of it, and it was really good. I've been on a pesto kick lately but like I gotta go bolognese I like a meat sauce I like a red meat sauce can't beat it okay pick a protein shrimp meatballs chicken muscles Jimmy are you gonna do the dishes like he's up on the he's up on the Jimmy by the way he's my golden retriever I flew I flew to Washington he's up on the sink like he's in position to do some dishes right now it's really cute, get to work, buddy, oh my god, imagine that, turn on the faucet, do the dishes, we got some

coffee cups to clean, pick up protein, um, I'm eating a bolognese with linguine, I'm having, I'm having meatballs, um, okay, honestly, I'm gonna do this quiz fast, I don't care, I got four or five other podcasts to finish after this, so, and it's late, it's, like, past my bedtime, but I gotta guys I'm just here's the thing I know I committed to seven days a week and that was a lot that was a big that was like a lot to commit to and I've accomplished it now for where I've been successful at doing it every day for 260 some days but over the last week I've had a an unusual chain of events occur that has made it difficult for me to produce a podcast every day so I'm basically in Washington now on vacation with my family, having to catch up so that I stay on,

you know, I stay on my goal and I give you guys seven podcasts a week. And it's kind of embarrassing and not even embarrassing. It's just like, it is what it is, but this is one of those episodes. It's like, skip it. Just like go listen to once I catch up, start listening, listen to the episode. I'm going to record one later about my travel day, which will be in a couple episodes from now when I flew Jimmy here. So you'll hear all about me putting Jimmy in a crate and flying him on a plane. Um, so that might be fun. But the next couple episodes are like build a pasta and figure out if you're a cat or a dog, what the hell? Like, Jesus, I'm not, it's like, I'm a five-year-old or I'm a 12-year-old doing this quiz. And it's

like a middle schooler would like doing this, but I'm in my 20s sitting alone at night in my mom's kitchen trying to answer these questions and take this somewhat seriously jesus christ add something else it says spinach tomatoes i want more meat bell peppers brussels sprouts or something else than any of those um I'm putting on the bolognese with the meat sauce the only thing I can think that would enhance that would be more meat I don't want if I want something else I want to sprinkle some cheese on top but I think that's the next question so I'm just going to go more meat yeah more meat pick one

cheese herbs no thanks or why are you even asking give me both cheese and herbs of course we're gonna add both finally last question pick a refreshing drink to have with your pasta tonight I had a diet coke I've been drinking wine all weekend I finally said fuck it I can't do any more wine this weekend um oh yeah I got to tell that story after the travel day story about my friday barbecue with the family yeah that's coming up too in your inbox uh wine was consumed jacqueline went to bed at 3 a.m i'll tell that story in a couple podcasts but that's coming up um tonight i had diet coke i should go soda for this answer we got soda juice milkshake or hot chocolate baby i'm going soda diet coke and pot and bolognese can't beat it i actually ate that

tonight so again I'm just making this quiz match what I actually did with my dinner um I'm a dog the answer I got was I'm a dog um this is a stupid fucking buzzfeed quiz I know and this is corny but it says you're more like a dog you're a loyal you're a loyal person and you're very loving you're caring and independent you always stand up for yourself it's like it knows me oh my god okay like, I, okay, okay, I'm really tired, I'm rubbing my eyes, I don't know why I'm doing this, um, yeah, like, I don't, I'm so fucking loyal, like, it's, it's like, I don't understand, I'm sorry about, or I'm not even sorry, like, when people, like, I don't understand how you could cheat on someone, you know what I mean, like, that doesn't even exist in my

brain like how could you just not you know what I mean I don't get I like it's not I don't even know how to explain myself and when I say this I'm like I don't under I literally just don't understand how you could do that to someone else like cheat on someone um so yes I definitely think I'm very loyal that's part of who I am I guess and I'm what is the other part uh you are very loving yeah it's like all I literally all I want to do is love Jimmy I'm just like hug Jimmy and play with Jimmy and cuddle Jimmy and as an example like I have a dog and it's helping me so much because I get to actually nurture something else now like I have something to take care of and love which was a missing component in my life before I got a dog um it was like okay self-love check

I can, I can do that all day long. I can, you know, take fucking baths and love myself and put on a bathrobe and lay in a face mask and paint my toenails and get a massage and do yoga and deep breathe and meditate. I can do all this self-love shit and take myself on dates. Like I know how to do all that super well, but I was like, okay, I gotta, I want to give it to something else so I'm like all right time for a puppy and then back in what was it February can you guys tell how fucking tired I am back in I think yeah February I got Jimmy and um all I want to do is fucking give my I there's a meme that's cute it's like of a little cartoon mouse it's like me with all this love and nobody to give it to and he's like the little mouse is

holding a bunch of hearts and I felt that I was like that's kind of me it's kind of like I feel I don't know not to be mushy but like I don't know I love love and I love giving it away and sharing it so okay what was the last part you always stand up for yourself now I do I don't take shit anymore like I used to I have a backbone now for one no I used to be a people pleaser and I used to let people walk all over me and I used to dumb myself down so that and I wasn't I didn't share my opinions and my thoughts and ideas that were uh that opposed other people so that they would like me better or I would fit in with them better whatever so um but now yeah I definitely stand up for myself and what I believe in and um I don't

let people, like, fuck with me at all, like, I don't have time for that, I really don't, and anyway, so yeah, I guess this quiz got the right, I got the right result here, I feel like, yeah, I'm, it says, it says I'm more like a dog than a cat, but who knows what the cat answer would have said, cool, all right, thanks for hanging out, this is the third podcast in my podcast marathon I'm doing this week. Thank you for being here and just taking taking the time to hear me talk about pasta shapes and sauces and shit. And I don't even know what this was. Buzzfeed, what's going on? What are the I want to go and I need to sit in I need to sit out sit in on a brainstorm meeting with all these quiz developers. Like what is their

creative process, like, what, how the, like, it, none, nothing connects, but then you, it kind of does, like, I don't know how to explain it, but the quizzes are so random, and they take two things that don't go together, and they make, they make it work, and I think that's why they're kind of fun, but anyways, okay, I gotta record one after this, so, hi, bye, I will talk to you in five minutes. I'm going to take a little beverage break. I'm going to get something to drink, um, and get back at the, and start the next podcast. Oh my God. I have so much to catch up on. I think, yeah. Do I have four to go? Five to go? Don't ever commit. Hey, if you're a pod, if you're, if you're, uh, thinking about doing a podcast out there, uh, first of all, this is my

passion, like, I still, I know, I know this is insane, like, I'm pushing myself to do this right now, but when I'm on point, when I don't skip days, it feels better, it feels a lot more fun than this shit, where I'm having to cram it, um, but, yeah, don't commit to a podcast seven days a week if you can't actually if you don't have a schedule that uh that works with that because like I'm starting to realize the more I get busy with life and events and stuff and people and relationships and things and traveling and all that this is going to get more and more complicated but I'm a hundred days away from doing this a year straight uh I think after this week I can confidently say there's no way in hell I can continue seven days a week I think you guys can

tell too like it's kind of the wheels are falling off the wagon right now the 260s are gonna be going down in the year of podcasting history I'm doing as the biggest train wreck of all of my podcasts but it's okay I'm still getting it done and I'm accomplishing my goal I'm still giving new seven podcasts this week. I don't care. Okay. Anyways, again, thank you for hanging out. Hit that subscribe button and I'll talk to you in five minutes. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Okay. Bye.
