Hey guys, happy Wednesday. It's episode 271. Welcome back to the show. Hey, what's up? It's Jacqueline. Welcome back to the show. happy Wednesday. This is officially the final podcast of my five podcast marathon I just did today. This is number five. I took a break and walked Jimmy. We walked like five miles, I think. Can you hear that? That's his little pig. He's squeaking in the background. Yeah, I just took a break and walked him. I threw some chicken in the oven, so I'm going to try to make this short and sweet because I want to eat dinner basically uh I don't know I'm gonna walk you through my day I guess yeah like I'm actually up to speed after this episode I'll be completely up

to speed uh go listen to the past episodes if you're curious like why I got behind because normally I post one every single day of the week seven days a week but anyways I don't want to I keep repeating it so I'm like I'm just not going to mention it in this episode um look I'm in a good mood. I'm, what is this, day three? Day two back in San Diego. I was in Washington over Memorial Day weekend. Today obviously felt super productive because I got all my podcast done. I got a ton of work done. I sat down at my desk pretty much all day long. I ended up even, I made, slow down. Let me take a drink. I'm drinking my Crystal Geyser sparkling water from Costco. It's lemon flavored.

I felt super productive I felt super productive I went to Costco even and picked up some stuff so I don't know all over all around all in all a great day um I woke up at 5 a.m yeah I started out really early because see the thing is I've been getting up early at home my family wakes up really early like my mom wakes up at like four normally four or five and so yeah I woke up at five this morning because yesterday I got up at three to go to the airport I made coffee walked Jimmy um worked really early in the morning I feel like I got a lot done work-wise before noon and then I took a quick nap and then I did some podcasts and went to Costco walked and here I am I can already smell the chicken I put some garlic salt

on it I feel like the garlic salt makes it smell really good oh I got an update so I threw wait I'm looking around my apartment what did I do today that was like productive with my shit um I broke down how do you buddy how do you have this much energy you just walked five miles like you still want to he's like super playful right now hi are you a person yeah are you so are you ring are you a reincarnated, um, monkey? What are you? I wish I, dude, all I wanted, I need answers. I can't stand it. The last six months, I don't even know why I chunked it out six months. The last six months of my life have been super weird as far as, like, how much I'm, like, it's unusual for me to get in rabbit holes with thoughts and thinking about, like, this universe and what

happens after we die and what life is all about and is this a simulation is it not like what's happening in outer space what do all these stories of people who die and come back mean and why are they all so similar and what's what's that and I'm looking at my dog and it trips me out sometime because I'm like I swear to god he's a person like it's I don't know anyways I don't know why on this topic. Okay. I was going to tell you, sorry. I broke down Jimmy's crate in my living room because I finally, I can't take it any longer. I can't take looking at it any longer. It's ugly. It's this big box. It takes up too much space. It's not necessary. I looked up this blog post or I read a blog post about how crate training is kind of a, it's not like you don't

have to do it like I feel comfortable I left to Costco today and I left Jimmy in my apartment and he just slept the whole time it's not like he's gonna eat some Clorox wipes and like die you know like I pretty much puppy proof the place before I leave and he doesn't get into he doesn't get in any trouble when I'm gone that probably will happen like I'm not saying it'll never happen I'm probably gonna come home to some shredded pillows or destroyed garbage cans or something at some point but I'd rather him feel comfortable than be in a cage every time I'm gone like it doesn't something about that just doesn't sit right and I honestly like didn't grow up with crates in our house we like left our dogs inside or we left them they were outside dogs too they

just stay home um anyway so I broke that down today I put my travel crate in my car um I don't know that I felt productive I did that the whole okay the reason why I'm super this is a selfish reason look I'm sick and tired of not having a full-size couch I've been talking to you guys about getting a big couch since I'm pretty sure December ish like before the new year I've been trying to find a couch I want I want a certain look I want a certain size I want a certain something I'm like still being indecisive but for the longest time since I've had Jimmy I'm like well I can't even fit it in my because it'll take up the entire wall because of his crate so this week if I find a couch I'm gonna put it in because I have the space for it now um this is super

important information but I'm just finally like I can't do my little two-seater anymore it's a joke it's a joke so that's a big goal this week um I got a text from my brother that he's puking and he got sick him and his girlfriend so he's like because he was home all weekend so he asked if asked us if we got sick too so I'm kind of worried um I don't feel great I'll be honest I kind of still feel like I'm recovering from the just abs I honestly it's I'm recovering from the trash diet I had for the weekend and all the wine like honestly I feel like that's what makes me feel like shit it's not because I'm like oh sick it's like I probably don't feel good because I ate like shit all weekend you know I know better like that's literally I shouldn't blame like oh

I'm probably getting the flu it's like no you ate cheesecake like five times on Saturday like just, you know, so, uh, anyways, I hope he's okay, like, he, I don't think it's COVID, but he said he's been puking, I'm like, whoa, that's kind of intense, I definitely have, I know I've mentioned this already today, I think on one of the other podcasts, but I definitely have the, um, that thing that's going around, everyone's, everyone's talking about, where they're like, I'm congested, I don't have allergies, but it's like I have allergies, I, uh, it's not the flu, but it feels like the flu, like, they're, they're, they're, like, it's not COVID, but it's not the flu, but it's something else, like, a bunch of people are sick right now,

and I think it's because we're back in, we're, like, everyone's, like, mingling again, I guess, more than they were, and maybe everyone's, like, getting little bugs, but, um, I just can't knock my sniffles, can you hear that? I got sniffles, and I got a little, um, like, every time I walk Jimmy in the morning. This is disgusting, but I like, I don't want to talk about my bodily functions. Do I really want to say this? There's always a point in the morning on my walk and this has been going on honestly for like a month I've been congested. Uh, there's always a point on my walk where I like, like burp up or puke. I like feel something thick, thick, thick, feel something thick in my throat and it's not just like a spitball it's like oh that's fucking green and

it's slimy and it's like a thick loogie and it's like phlegm or and mucus and I spit it out on the pavement and that is not classy or ladylike but it's early in the morning no one's looking I usually do it in a bush or something but yeah I don't know what that is it must just be like a little like cold I don't know why am I talking about this hey bud something's changed I don't I could talk about my dog I could do an entire podcast I feel like this podcast is half about my life half about my puppy's life but I've noticed a change in him recently over the last literally week where literally week literal week the last week are you did you chafe on her walk is that rubbed raw

what's that um I don't know if it's because he's um the vet told me his balls dropped or whatever I don't fucking know I don't know how it works he got like he's like the other day I think it was Sunday this is the change I'm noticing he pants really hard and he's constantly trying to hump shit and he lifted his leg to pee for the first time tonight that's brand new like he's turning into a he's manning up and shit and he's a lot more mischievous and aggressive and like feisty especially with other dogs like he was growling today at this um this chocolate lab that came by and I've never seen his behavior I've never seen that behavior where he's kind of like showing aggression and dominance and like being a tough guy like normally he's like

is that because he's I don't understand how the male anatomy on a dog works like that but like I can see them and I saw them the other day and I did not want to see them but and the vet alarmed or alarmed me alerted me that he's got both balls and they look they're like ahead of pace or something like he's most dogs at his age don't have them like both and he does I don't know it's kind of gross to talk about your son's balls but like it's just weird it like came out of nowhere he just like wants to rough it up with other dogs and me and he's like constantly like on Sunday let me tell the story I was on the couch ready to go to bed because that's where I sleep at my mom's house because I prefer she's like like literally I have a bed to sleep

in and I choose the couch but I just I prefer it anyways I was like Jimmy come cuddle right and he i have bruises on my leg from this because i just like was i was more i wasn't trying to stop him i was observing his behavior i was like what the fuck are you doing he went back and forth on the couch like 25 times i thought he was trying to get comfortable but i what i realized is anytime i moved my leg slightly upwards and created any sort of like hump under the blanket he tried to pump it. So like, I would try things. I would like stick my toe up and he'd bolt over there and start pumping. Like he was trying, I would stop him when he started, like I was watching though. Like he was, and then he was panting so hard. Like, and then after that, then I kicked

him off the couch after like 15 minutes of like trying to figure out what he was trying to do to me. And then like, he never cuddled or settled down. Then I was going to sleep and I heard him panting for like 30 minutes after that then I was googling like is this normal yes it's normal this happens but that's a brand new thing that's a brand new thing I say on this podcast every month Jimmy unlocks a level in his body like something changes something switches on he figures something out and lately it's been like the tough guy shit and like the humping and the panting and the aggressive stuff um and my favorite thing now is that he independently gets his toys and plays with them like more so than ever especially balls like he why is this podcast all about jimmy right now

i don't know what else to talk about dr fauci's fucking email scott leak do you want me to talk about that. Hi. Yeah. You. I want you to talk on the microphone. Say something. You. He licked it. Did you hear that? He licked it. Bark. No, but like my favorite thing is Jimmy gets, he like plays with his own balls. Like he, not like his ball, like the toys. He'll pick it up out of the basket and then he'll swat it around the floor he like doesn't even need me to throw it to him he just he'll like push it back and forth against the wall it's really cool he's really smart but he's also stupid like i feel i feel like golden retrievers are both like they're so and then like so smart like he kind of goes cross-eyed sometimes when he like if he hears a noise he looks so dumb

he just looks so like lost and confused um yeah I guess okay wait it's Wednesday I'm looking forward to this weekend I'm looking forward to finding a couch potentially by the end of the week I'm looking forward to kind of like getting back in my groove now that I'm home I don't know why like traveling back to Washington always sets me back like a couple days and I just never feel like I don't know I it's like hard for me to just get back into my routine I don't know why but it is it's usually because if I travel at a weird time of day like I was up at 3 a.m yesterday throws me off and then I don't know um I always have like a lot of errands to run like I need to do laundry and I need to do like I don't know I feel like I'm wasting time right now just like

talking about nonsense. Um, sorry for spamming your inbox, but I really wanted to get all these done so I could be up to speed. How much time is on my chicken? Tomorrow will be a better day for podcasting. Cause I all, um, I'll probably talk about current events. So I haven't touched on news in a, in a fat minute, a fat minute, um, uh, like, guys, this is the final podcast of the day, I'm like, what is there, what am I gonna do tonight, oh, let's talk about that, honestly, I'm probably gonna button up some work stuff, I'm gonna eat dinner, bring my laptop over the couch, put on like the real housewives or something or a podcast on my tv and then do some work and then go to bed that's it shower then go to bed so um this is kind of cringy to be honest

like this kind of episode is like i don't know why i feel the need to say this but i honestly i'm at the point in life where i just don't give a shit i don't care but I can see how someone would go like what a fucking waste of space like in time like your waste Jacqueline wastes waste people time telling them about like her itinerary like who gives a shit that's the thing nobody the thing is it's it's content creation and being a content creator is interesting because you have that like I have those thoughts sometimes like why me like why here's what i think it is i don't think it matters jimmy i can't do this dude down down um some people are willing just take it take it there you go he's such a little

shithead lately he just wants to like do troublemaker stuff here's what i think it is People like myself and other content creators, for whatever reason, are called to do it, and they like doing it, and they're passionate about it, and they feel comfortable with being online and sharing their life and sharing stuff about themselves or whatever, and showing video and photos and audio and all different types of content. They're comfortable with it. I think what it is is then the audience like these are the people that are like we're making things happen I learned this in high school at my orientation freshman year there are people in this world that make things happen there are people that watch things happen and then there

are people that go what just happened and I'm the type of person who makes things happen I've always been that way I want to be a contributor I want to be on stage I want to be uh leading I want to be on and, you know, in front of people. Like I just, that's me. And then watch things happen or the spectators or the followers of people that are fans that look, that follow all the content creators and look at all their stuff all the time, but they don't actually do it themselves. They're entertained by it. They're in the audience. And the people that are like, what just happened? You're like, what's TikTok? Like, I don't know what that is. Or like, you know, maybe like the boomers and stuff, like they don't know what's going on. They don't know

it's trendy that's like what just happened like if someone didn't know like a what just happened type person would be like what is bitcoin what is cryptocurrency like at this point like you should know what that is but there are people that have no they hear what like they hear the word crypto and they're like i don't even know what i don't even know where to start so anyways i'm trying to justify my behavior of my behavior tonight of just like being burnt out from five podcasts today and saying why would anyone listen to my itinerary and be entertained by it and here's the thing uh something I know to be true because I do it myself people literally just like on a podcast

it doesn't even like it doesn't even need to be that interesting it just needs to be like someone as long as someone's talking and feeling airtime and just like filling space you'll listen sometimes I find myself um tuning into podcasts and I'm like this technically isn't that interesting or like groundbreaking or life-changing but I feel like I'm hanging out with a person and then you know it's like I keep listening anyways it doesn't like that's the thing I love about my show it's like I don't need to change the world with my podcast I'm not trying to I'm not trying to like inspire anyone or educate anyone or like teach anyone something teach someone something new like I don't know sometimes people just need to chill and hang

out with someone on the internet and that's what I'm providing so anyways someday I'll shut the fuck up about my podcasting strategy and shit I just like can't sometimes like talking about it um I haven't said this in a while I feel like I got three minutes my fridge kind of froze the chicken breasts like it's a little too cold I don't know it's kind of new I've never seen anything get frozen in my fridge so anyways um Jimmy not at the final part of the podcast dude something I haven't said in a while is that I think this current time we're in is a I think this is an important or a unique time to document my life story throughout this and here's the thing I don't imagine myself being

like 62 listening to my podcast back you know what I mean like it's not for my this isn't like something I'm trying to like listen to in the future like maybe that'd be cool to do like I'd tune into a couple but it's not like oh I want to relive my 2020 experience my 20 like my early my mid-20s experience it's not like that it's just like getting it out talking it out like the therapy side of podcasting is what I think is important to do right now or the therapy like talking stuff out talking about current events talking about these crazy times some that's what I'm doing on the show all the time and I think that's a really good thing for me and it's helped me a lot just like stay clear and like zen about it all and

level-headed and um and I like to think I like to get I don't know whatever how many more minutes what else can I talk about for chickens coming out in two minutes should I like go over and take it out as a podcast um no I'm gonna wrap it up I gotta I gotta like be disciplined I gotta like chill get this one done chill get back to work I could ramble on about nonsense for another hour honestly but thank you so much for hanging out tonight thanks for your support as always podcasting is my passion I can see myself doing this long term um I always look forward to it even on days where I have to do five in a row it's kind of like I just I always feel like a better person after I just feel better um you know I noticed when I

was talking to my mom all weekend because my mom and I have gone in waves of like clashing and just misunderstanding each other and everything and you know I haven't seen her since Christmas it's now what June I feel like this podcast is helping me yeah become a better person and I'm a lot in conversation with my mom I just found myself being a lot more pleasant or like I think she she even said she's like you're just so you're just lovely to be around now like what's changed I'm like mom I honestly think it's from podcasting and I genuinely love like and I'm a I'm a better I don't know why like I know I do all the talking but I feel like I'm a better listener now I don't know how to explain it anyways so cool all right
