I've talked about me, um, puking. I

don't want to keep talking about me puking up octopus. Like I mentioned that on our first date, I did that. Um, but we have some upcoming trips we're going, we're going on together, which is exciting. Um, life update. I'm going to Vegas, Washington, Montana, and North Carolina. So I'll be uh flying around in the next month um I wrote down current events I missed um I was gonna talk about or like current events I could talk about monkey pox Biden getting COVID twice I think um Brittany Griner Andrew Tate being everywhere, the new Drake album, which is, like, old news now, um, yeah, okay, so, this is fucking rough, um, I, should I do it, like, should I set the scene, okay, it's, uh, it's Sunday when I'm

recording this, this is coming out on August 1st, which is a Monday, I can't believe it's August, and um okay so I think it helps when I talk with my hands I do remember when I podcast I usually use my hands that helps me okay so why did I take a month off what happened um where have I been what's going on basically it's like I got swept off my feet I'm in a new relationship and I've been enjoying my summer okay I've been enjoying my summer I haven't prioritized a podcast and I've been basically like I'm booked and busy doing things all the time and I'll say this so I told my boyfriend I'm like look I have to do my podcast and I need to schedule it in around our you know time together so I stayed at my place last night and I woke up really early I did a

super hard, uh, high intensity workout. I pushed that tank sled thing. If you know what I'm talking about, it's not the sled, it's the tank. I pushed that like 20 times, got my heart rate up really high. Um, I actually need to, so this is another thing I need to address. I have a VO two max of like a 45 year old and I, Oh, I just life update. My birthday was July 7th. So I celebrated my birthday in the last month since I've been gone. Yeah, I have a horrible VO2 max. And I don't know why. I think it's because I don't exhaust myself hard enough when I work out or something. I don't do a lot of high intensity training. I do a lot of lifting, yoga, that kind of shit. So I'm trying to get my vo2 max up my it's uh a measurement of how well your body pumps oxygen to your brain

I believe and it's a great measure of measurement of your cardiovascular fitness so anyways I push that so not gonna apologize I'm just gonna keep going um I'm in my head about how all over the place I am but what's new I told my boyfriend I'm like I have to wake up tomorrow morning really early I need to work out super hard before I podcast and I have to get this podcast done before I go and meet your um your nephew and see the family so that's what I did this morning I pushed that tank like 20 times I did some Stairmaster um some glute stuff and I don't know I just like worked out really hard and then now I'm here and but now so it's like here's what I'm saying I got swept off my feet I have a new boyfriend we've been booked I've been booked and busy all summer

doing stuff with him, hanging out with him all the time. Like, um, just, yeah, it's been amazing. And now I'm like, fuck, I have to really be disciplined about recording my podcast and saying no to like sleeping in on a Sunday morning and going with him to get coffee and then like walking our dogs and going to the beach and then going golfing. And like, I have to be like, no, I need my entire morning to myself for the podcast because this is my baby and I mean 317 episodes totally produced all on my own for the in the last it's been a I started it on September 4th 2020 so I'm coming up on two years and I'm just I'm in the I'm in the mood I'm just in the fucking mood to go hard with it now and I've been casual up until this point like

yeah I just post every week it is what it is it's like it's not a biz I don't want to turn my passion into a business but like I've been posting tiktoks five tiktoks a day now um clips of my podcast I've been doing a lot of like behind the scenes shit brainstorming I have like my notebooks over here full of ideas and um for the future of the show and I don't know I'm just like I have I have a new um spark about it or a new and I'm like I got a new wave of inspiration and I don't know goals for the show so Spice Rock, Boyfriend, Traveling, Career Change. Speaking of brainstorming my pot for my podcast um guys I just took a good five seconds there in my head thinking about how I want to stop this

episode and re-record it already because that happens every episode I'm like so like I don't like this it's not good um fuck keep going I don't edit I just keep going um speaking of being re-inspired about my podcast and making plans for the future of the show I decided I don't even know the the um what's it called the irony or the serendipity or whatever I decided I'm like I'm going to scroll through my episodes and listen to one from the past so I clicked on 242 episode 242. And it's called, um, I titled it cook, cook rice with me. And I started listening to it and it's literally me on, uh, I think it was May 4th last year, May 4th at six 30 in the morning. I'm sick with the flu cooking rice in my kitchen. And I was literally like moving my

laptop around with my headset on while I'm cooking rice narrating the whole thing and what was interesting is the night before I listened to the full send podcast with Andrew Tate and I listened I just clicked that episode cook rice with me episode 242 and I'm like first of all I'm like holy shit what are the odds that this is the one I clicked I'm repeating like 90% of the shit Andrew Tate said or preaches on that episode back in May last year I'm a woman saying this shit and I'm like what the I don't know it was crazy and I'm like maybe that'd be interesting if you're new to the show or if you just want to revisit an old episode go listen to episode 242 um it's like it's basically what Andrew Tate talks about from a woman's perspective

um I get pretty deep into like feminism and the patriarchy and social justice movements and just like a lot of it's it's a it was I was like wow I did I said all I said all that and um so anyways um it's kind of I usually don't listen to my episodes I kind of have to watch them now when I make clips for TikTok and Instagram but um the past ones I would just I was doing it seven days a week so I was just pumping them out post post post and I don't really remember well I never really listened that one so the I don't know it's just crazy so episode 242 go check it out um let me know your thoughts um yeah speaking of Andrew Tate obviously he's everywhere everywhere right now um on everyone's podcasts and all over TikTok and Instagram and um

I just gotta say this like and I'm like I'm like I'm like checking in with myself like what the fuck I'm like not there isn't a single thing maybe like a couple there's like maybe a couple things but like 95% of what Andrew Tate says as he's saying it because he makes a lot of points as he talks he's always like making a like points I'm and while I listen to his the podcast he's on I'm like okay do I agree with that do I agree there isn't a like almost like 95% of what that guy says I agree with and I'm like yeah fuck yeah and I don't know I don't even I feel weird about even

saying that because he's obviously such a polarizing um I mean he's an entertainer I mean he's definitely a character online right now that we're all paying attention to but I'm like I I agree yep yep yep yep yep so um so yeah Andrew Tate's everywhere what I oh I was saying getting re-inspired about my podcast listen episode 242 and I was like saying that kind of or saying talking about what Andrew Tate talks about from a woman's perspective um I finished Squid Game last night I never watched it back when it came out but I I finished that last night there's a life update um I've been eating a lot of sushi this summer this is so important for you to know like you tuned in today I don't know where you

are right now I don't know what you're doing but like it it's important that you know that I've been eating a lot of sushi and I finished squid game last night I've been golfing or I've talked about golf in the past few episodes I got a full set this year and my boyfriend is a huge golfer In fact, I went to him or went with him to a tournament he played in a couple weekends ago. He's like really fucking good at golf. So he's helping me a lot. And we went to the driving range yesterday. And I don't know.

I love golf and it's fun that we can do it together. And I like I ride along with him and watch him play. And I don't know. It's like it's not like I have to sit at home when he goes and plays golf because I like it too. and I get and I can play with him so um how many minutes am I at okay I mean I could keep going on about life updates but like all I want to do right now is tell you guys how happy I am with my in my new relationship and how cringed out I am about my past relationship like okay I don't know because I feel like this might be interesting to listen to compared I mean compared in comparison to

telling you that I've been eating sushi and watching like what the fuck was that those bullet point life updates I mean um yeah it's pretty wild how for the last year on my show because I had a boyfriend this time last year then back in was it April or May we broke up because he cheated on me and I did like two episodes about that and then now I'm in a new relationship like right away which is like sometimes I feel like it is what it is like there isn't a rule book in life on how you're supposed to go from one relationship to the next and how much time there should be in between, and it, like, I'm happy, and if, like, that's all, Jimmy, do not eat the oregano, come here, he's picked up the oregano, um, spice from the spice

rock, my new spice rock, I just got, that fell on the floor, fuck, um, I don't think he can eat that. He's not really breaking into it. So anyways, what's wild is that when I, if you listen to my episodes over the last year and I mentioned my ex-boyfriend, it was like positive things all the time. I was saying like nice things, things were fine. And, um, looking back now is so weird because I'm like, that was all wrong for me. That was all wrong for me because now what I have is like if I tell I tell my boyfriend this now I'm like if I could have customized a man for me you are it like it is absolutely it's like what the fuck I it's like once you have that I feel like you when you know you know what's the saying like I settled in the in my past relationship the entire

time the entire time and because things would come up starting and from the very beginning the relationship relationship to the end things would come up and I would put up with it and I would say oh okay well that's his everyone's got flaws you know no one's perfect he's flawed and you know I can look past that and see the good things and I was constantly settling and compromising and now I'm like that just doesn't exist in my current relationship with my new boyfriend and I'm like what like it's I don't know it's great so um all I'll say is that I have never laughed so hard with someone at like starting from the time we wake up until the time we go to sleep it's like he has me laughing we wake up at first of all he's a morning person

I've never dated a morning person who works out wakes up at five to go to the gym ever and so that's like a huge bonus so like literally it's five in the morning he wakes up I wake up and I'm he's already cracking a joke he's already making me laugh and I'm like it's the personality I know guys if you're out there like I feel like with with me like a personality is it's like so high on the list and I think in my past relationship I was settling for like zero it was like I've bitched and ranted about my ex so much I don't want to bring him up but like the personality was just not compatible, like, our two personalities were not, not good, so, but I don't know, I, like, there were qualities about him I obviously liked, but now that I have

a guy with a personality that's, like, he's so entertaining constantly, and it's so fun to be with him, like, I'm just, yeah, that's what, I'm so happy because of that, it's, like, every time I think about him I think about how much he makes it's just like that's the best okay who's annoyed I'm gushing about my new boyfriend oh my god am I a relationship person I mean I'm approaching 30 you know I've I feel like I that's not a bad thing to be in a relationship or um whatever um I have I have a what am I trying to say right now Jacqueline I kind of want to wrap this up because I'm so just like I'm getting this done I'm checking

the box I said I do it on I get this out August 1st I get back into podcasting weekly I'm just like getting this I'm muscling through it right now I do feel like I don't feel like I'm in the flow um if you're new to the show or if you're a returning listener a lot of what I do here is I critique myself as I go and I and I constantly am telling you what I'm thinking as I'm recording like I'm giving you the inside um or the behind the scenes look into a podcaster's brain while they're podcasting and I just I do it so unconsciously but if you watch me or listen to me, it's, like, you, I, it's, it's, like, the whole way through, I'm, like, want to delete the episode, I don't like what I just said right there, let me, um, take a second to, like, collect

myself, and, you know, shit like that, so, yeah, I just want to, like, I don't know, get this, I want this to be short and sweet, kind of, honestly, honestly, because I got a cute baby to meet, and, um, just, like, a chill after, it's Sunday, a chill afternoon to have, um, what was I just saying oh I was gonna go on about how I'm talking you guys about my relationship and I was gonna talk about how I'm approaching 30 and that oh when I was younger I know what I was gonna say I just assumed by the time I'm 30 I'll be married and I'll have kids on the way and like 30 was always my number my and the number in my head where I was like that's when I'm gonna settle down and start a family it was always 30 and I just got to say this and I don't know it's just

from my observations especially because of social media and you can see people living their lives you know I've noticed that obviously our my generation I'm a millennial woman like things are different now than they used to be in the past where we're not getting married at 20 like our grandparents and having you know babies right away we're waiting and waiting waiting and it seems like this is all from what I've observed on social media by the way like if I was to go to my hometown and bump into my friends from high school I mean most of them are a lot well a lot of them a huge amount of my friends from high school got married and they have like multiple kids and they're not even 30 yet so um this is like Instagram millennial independent boss babe

woman culture that I'm observing and I feel like there's this yeah a new generation of women that are like mid-30s single they're not even they have no kids and it's so normalized now and it's such a um it's like I don't even I see that and I go okay I know that's not I really hope that's not me. Cause I just don't personally want that for myself. I do want a family. Like I want things to be moving along when I'm in my mid thirties. I don't want to be single and have nothing going on. Um, you know, so yeah. And I don't know what is, I don't know what's going on. I just know that I, I need to make this short and sweet. This could be an entire top this. I almost want to make a podcast about this topic because it doesn't it's it's things are changing and I I don't know if

it's good for society or I mean again it's not what I want so this is all for my these are my own opinions and thoughts about being a woman and being single and being like you know 35 or whatever and not having any kids and not being married and like um I don't know why I guess what I need to figure out and maybe come back to a completely new episode with is why do I why do I have a why does that why do I have a negative opinion about it because it it's like I don't like if that's you like whatever it's not I don't I'm not judging people for it but I'm like I just know that I have a feeling that's like it just doesn't sit right with me and I don't know what that is um maybe it's because of society and what we're sold like you know get graduate college and

then find a man and then get married and have babies and then you're 30 and then you're buying a house then you're you know dropping your kids off at soccer practice and taking them to school every day and you're like 35 and you're you know a soccer mom now like I don't know maybe it's because of that what I've been programmed to believe my whole life about how you again I said this earlier about how there isn't a rule book in life on how you should you know go from one relationship to the next and the time frame between and there's no rule book in life for anything you can do whatever the fuck you want and that's what's great about um social media I think I will say that now we're exposed to so many different ways of living

that and and I would say yeah being a single boss babe at 35 is like normal it's like a it's like if you see other people doing that you're like fuck I'm fine like that's a no big deal like that's another way of living life and people like there's a community out there that you can be a part of that is all you know or whatever like I don't know again I need to collect my thoughts on this now and like because I feel like I have a I want to I want to talk about it more but I don't really know I need to figure out like why yeah why are I really want to get into like why our generation is especially women aren't having kids and getting married as early as they used to and like what

is social media fucking us all up probably you know dating apps aren't I mean I've met I met my boyfriend on a dating app and my ex-boyfriend and a lot of my past boyfriends so um actually god i've met i've met my ex-boyfriends in weird way i met a i met a guy on twitter i dm'd him back when i was 18 and uh he was foreign i flew over to england to meet him so i've done some crazy shit um or i've met yeah i've met a lot of i almost i met up i've met two of my exes i didn't meet on social media the rest of them i think I did either either a dating app or Instagram or yeah it's weird but um should I interview an expert fuck it's the one thing I don't like to do

and I don't know who said this first but this is a common phrase by podcast hosts like I only talk about things I know about I don't talk about things I don't know about and so sometimes I find myself like going on about something like this topic and I'm like I really haven't done my research, and I don't really know the science behind this, or, like, what's going on, you know, what's actually, what are, what's the, what's the, what's the data, you know, I don't know, so, yeah, I'll come back, touch on this another time, but, yeah, just to re, to sum that up, um yeah it's I want to be I want to be a wife and have a family around 30 not 40 and that's my goal for myself and I'm happy I'm on that path and I'm very happy

right now I'm in a relationship and if it goes that way amazing and I'm pretty sure it will because like I met my best friend and I can actually say that now and um I'm not settling and I'm so happy I don't know it's great so um and oh my god I wrote down what I want in a man in my notebook over there and it's so crazy how he has every single one these things on the list it's on this picture I took of the notebook I wrote what I'm looking for in a life partner and I listed eight things and he has all eight but like there's eight things with details next to it and every he had every detail I wrote yeah so couldn't say that couldn't say that about any of my other ex-boyfriends like maybe they had you know seven of the eight but the

one thing they didn't have, I couldn't, I was always settling or I was always like looking past and, um, compromising on. So never settle, especially if you're looking for, or when it comes to a life partner, like take your time with that shit. And I feel like, yeah, maybe that's why that maybe that's why a lot of people are women. I was making the point that women are, you know, not getting, I don't know, like there's a lot of like single mid thirties women out there living their lives and not settling down it's like maybe it's yeah because they're not settling and there's nothing wrong with that um but anyways shit oh my god I went horse riding I rode a horse um we went trail riding uh down by we

like went south towards Mexico on a it was called like happy trails so um my boyfriend and I went horse riding a couple weekends ago um we're kind of we want to get into that I grew up riding horses I had horses growing up and um it's been like years I think the last time I rode a horse was back in Washington on a trail ride with my aunt like 2014 so that was so fun and um so yeah we'll be riding oh we're also gonna probably ride horses in Montana when we go which is exciting and I want to start riding regularly like month like once a month or something here in San Diego but um I have a picture of his dogs uh my boyfriend has a bulldog named Louie so Jimmy has a brother now and a couple days ago

what I'm saying is I have a picture of his bulldog's dick on my phone um bulging giant like like super red dick on my phone because I think it's the breed bulldogs like they hump everything they they're they're humpers like always even if they're fixed I feel like or what he told me my boy my boyfriend's like yeah it's the breed they just constantly are humping so when Jimmy comes over to play Louie starts humping him like he humps him in the face it's really it's really aggressive and anyways a couple days ago we're just like getting ready to go to dinner or something and Louie is standing there just like he's not moving his tongue's like hanging out he looks fine he's not whimpering or anything but his should I say dick or penis what's like

this is like a medical thing his penis was fully erect it was fully out plus the glands that are tucked in were out it was the it was probably eight inches long because like when a dog so when you know dogs get a little hard on it like sticks out a little bit you know looks like a tube of lipstick. The little tip hangs out. The entire thing was out plus the glands and he has his balls still. So it was like balls, glands, penis. And he's just standing there, like not, not sure what to do. So we're freaking out. It looked, it looked, something was wrong. Like this isn't normal. Obviously when he humps Jimmy, you know, it sticks out a little bit, but not like that. So he got overly excited. Something happened. Something over was an overdrive and I'm Googling

like dog bulging penis what does this mean or whatever and what we found out is um to get it back in we well there's it's not something you have to rush them to the vet um for if it happens it's it usually goes away if it doesn't go go away on its own there's things you can do to make it go away so um I was looking up remedies and you my boyfriend took an ice cube and he put the ice cube on it, and it went back in, but the picture, I just, like, was on my camera roll, looking for things to talk about, and, um, yeah, it's, uh, it's, like, a, it's, it's, I took a picture, if you're, like, why the fuck do you take, just for, you know, if the vet wanted to see if we had to take him to the vet, or for the future, you know, as, you know, as a reference

point but uh yeah so Jimmy and Louie are two peas in a pod they're they're buddies and um yeah I love he's an English bulldog and he's seven months old now so um yeah so Jimmy has a brother we went to a comedy show we've done so much together like I've just it's like endless activities together. It's the best. My mom met him. She came to town. Yeah, that's about it for today's episode. Oh, I wrote down, I started shaving my face. Let me just end with this. So I don't know how the topic came up, but maybe he was talking about shaving or no, I was talking about laser hair removal because I

want to start getting laser hair removal and somehow I mentioned the peach fuzz on my face because I have peach fuzz like it's you have hair on your face it's like normal right um you have hair all over your body like little baby hairs even on your fingers right so I mentioned it and I was telling him something like oh because I'm telling him how I shave my mustache and I've just like I'm I have dark hair I've just like shaving takes up so much of my time that's why I want to do laser I want to get literally neck down lasered plus mustache and um but I told them I used to shave my face it's called dermaplaning I actually have a packet of 60 razors right here I ordered on Amazon because um this is what happened my boyfriend goes oh yeah I know what

you're talking about I can see it on your jawline your hair on your face the I can see it that's literally all it took for me to instantly go on Amazon and order a pack of these razors. And I know it's like, okay, like, you know, don't make, don't let a man change you. Okay. And it's just like my brother used to body shame me for my, not body shame me, my brother used to hair shame me for my arm hair. And I think he did my peach fuzz face hair. Yeah, he did. And I got PTSD and I was like I just like had a moment of like you know what you're fucking right and my makeup looks better because it goes on smoother and I feel like it's good for exfoliation I just stopped shaving my face a year ago because I had a bad experience with it because it broke me out really

bad and so I was like I'm just gonna let it let the peach fuzz fly you know it's just like little light hairs on your face I'm gonna let it fly not gonna break out so yeah anyways um life update I'm shaving my face again and I'm getting I'm getting laser hair removal and I can't wait because I mean if I calculate the hours of time I've spent in the shower with a razor it's asinine and I'm I I'm not someone who's like I well first of all I can't let the most I can't let more than three days go by without shaving for it's the only time I'll do that maybe if I'm like camping or something but it's bad like I have to shave constantly wait I don't want to end the episode I'm kind of having fun right now um it was a bit all over the

place whatever but i'm back it's august you can expect an episode every single week now and you can expect instagram real clips and tiktok clips of the show um for your entertainment and for fun because i'm going to make clips of the shit i talk about on here um because you gotta adapt and you gotta adjust and you gotta keep up with the joneses on social media especially as a podcast host and as a content creator and you must post clips of your podcast with captions or else like what the fuck are you doing you're not gonna i mean it's just part of the job and i love what i do i this is like i i've i've i've gushed and preached and um told you guys so many times like this is my retirement plan like i will retire as a podcast

host I will do this forever and this is my 30-year plan and I'm excited to finally be a businesswoman about it because I just feel like yeah it's been I'm going on two years and I've put in so much time and effort behind this show already it's like what's a little more effort you know what's a little more editing and a little more posting and a little like it's I actually do enjoy editing video I used to do that for as a job um I used to I was a content creator slash editor at a startup company and I and I love it and I love editing like comedic shit so uh no big deal I can do it I will do it and I'm I'm just I don't know I think the difference between me now versus me in the past as podcast host is like actually committing to it and then now I have

accountability partner my boyfriend's very supportive of my show and he really wants me to um you know do what i say and follow through and not just have the dream and then do nothing and sit around and just post an episode every week and like hope something happens because yeah you know it's occurred to me i had a this is why you talk to a fucking therapist about it's like why can't i admit to myself that yes I want to be a top podcaster I want to have a top podcast I want to be part of the I want to be in the podcasting scene because there's clearly a scene of people out there that are doing this shit and that are all on each other's podcast like that would be

the dream for me and it's like I have an issue I think or a glitch in my brain that's like I can't i'm not even embarrassed to tell you that it's just like this is part of it's like if this is what you want to do as a career and as a you know a job it's like that's where you got to exist if you want to you know actually make a living off of it and actually have fun with it i feel like because yeah if i could be on other shows and like do interviews with people and cross pollinator audiences and shit like that would be sick um so now i'm more excited about that i that i'm more excited about it than i've ever been i think because um i'm kind of finally admitting that to myself and just like going yeah

jacqueline you're a fucking entertainer you want to go big with this shit just fucking go for it And, you know, you're cut out. I'm cut out for it. I know I am. Like, I know it happened to me the second I pressed record on my first podcast when all the stars aligned. I go, oh, okay, this is what I'm supposed to do. And for the longest time, I heard people talk about how one day they discovered their passion or, you know, they had all these things going on. they didn't really know what they were going to do with their life they didn't really know what

they they had all these like hobbies or interests or they read all these books they tried out they they went through all these courses they never really knew what their thing was they never but one day it came to them like they had that moment of like yeah the stars aligning and figuring it out and so I'm really grateful and just so happy that that happened for me young because a lot of people even my grandma says that she goes I don't know what I want to be when I grow up and she's 80 you know I just feel blessed that it's so ingrained in me like I know this is what I want to do and I don't there's no wavering there's no questioning it's like um yeah and I figured it out young and because I think that was an that was a huge issue for me in my 20s going like what do I

want to do what do I want to be what do I want to um you know what's my thing what's my hobby what do I like doing for like for fun yeah and it's podcasting so um I didn't um put this on the episode notes today but I get deep on here a lot you know me I go on about like you know how to be a good person and live a good life and shit like that but there's a lot of themes and I revisited my old podcast notebooks over the weekend and there's a lot of themes that I carry through each episode and decisiveness and picking something is one of them and that's what I'm alluding to here about how I picked podcasting and it came to me and I'm like hard set on like

this is what I do and how one of the things I think is an extremely beneficial um quality to have or just a way of operating in life is being a decisive person and at some point after college and after you're having fun in your 20s and you're tried a bunch of things, you have to fucking pick something, and I think that's just good, it's just, in my experience, it was the best thing for me, as someone who was half pregnant on 10 things, and not commit, what's this, the quote, interested in everything, committed to nothing, yeah, you gotta commit, you gotta decide, even in relationships, shit, I feel like that's another thing, you gotta, that's a huge deal like committing going all in and um I don't know what kind of

mindset shift that goes along with that but I guess for me it's like the feeling I have after being decisive about something is like it makes me feel is it a control thing no it's like a um it's just it eliminates questions like you're not or wonder you're just like no this is my decision there's no like maybe I should do that maybe there's no ifs ands or buts it's like this is what it is and that makes you feel um solid and like yeah it's so um pick something that's your fucking life advice today for the end of the episode what did I end the episode with shave your face or I'm shaving my face now and be a decisive person okay what's my favorite spice let me pick it out here because I told you guys I got a new spice rack if you haven't noticed

if I had to pick one spice off my spice rack it's kind of hard um i mean this is a classic everything but the bagel right but like recently i've been doing this trader joe's ranch shit on everything tahine's great i mean you really can't just how do i pick one i guess you'd have to go something all purpose like this 21 seasoning salute from trader i mean literally everything's Trader Joe's here um but you need something with a blended um array of spices is this great it spins it spins in a circle it's really easy to uh grab what what you want um god I love rosemary I think that's old that's got an expiration date on it for sure from like

two years ago. Um, this literally looks like it's from the dollar store. I don't know where I got that. Maybe Walmart. Nutmeg's great. I love oregano. Um, cool. All right. I didn't pick one um this fuck I fucking love time you know what that's my decision I'm making I'm being decisive there's an example of me being decisive speaking of being decisive I'm choosing time and if you want to know a great combination of spices for an omelet chives thyme and oregano with eggs chef's kiss the best um chives thyme oregano fresh chives though obviously not dried chives fresh chives thyme dried thyme dried right you know a little salt and pep put that on eggs trust me um I'm a domestic motherfucking goddess um

love cooking you know what that's the thing why do I like being in a relationship so much why do I like having boyfriends it's because I am motherfucking Martha Stewart I am Betty Crocker I am fucking Julia Childs I am fucking I am a goddamn homemaker at heart and I love cooking for a man I love cooking I love when it's Friday and I text my boyfriend I'm like what do you want for dinner and he tells me put a chicken he what did he say the other day he's like I just want a chicken in a pot some bullshit I don't even know or I was gonna I think I was gonna cook roasted chicken in my Dutch oven I think I was gonna do that for him but like he tells me what he wants and then he knocks my door at like 6 30 he shows up it's like I'm making it

for him it's the best I love doing that and so um I don't like being I don't think that at this age I'm like I'm sick and tired of cooking for myself and just sitting at my in my apartment with my dog eating another goddamn salad alone like part of my dream is in life is yes having a family having a husband someday and cooking all the time all day long like I just love it it's like you know and I always go back to this it's all I know because of what I grew up with and what I observed as a kid and watching my mom and my grandma and my aunts it's like that's what they did so it's easy for me to say these things and to have these dreams when or it's natural because of my upbringing and that hasn't I think

that's something about me that hasn't changed ever or probably won't it won't change is I've really even though I moved to California I've been here four years now um my like I've stayed close to my roots and I've and I and it took me I think I had a year of kind of getting away from it and going on my going to the beat of my own drum and going on a new path but something shifted where all of a sudden I was like I longed for the not the past but like I had a like I attached myself back to my hometown and my roots and my family and how I was raised and all that stuff was like it came up and it it's like part of my I guess identity and it's part of who I am and I and I felt like earlier in my 20s I got away from it and then as I've gotten

older I'm getting I'm going back to it and it just feels good and it feels um because it's what i it's like what i actually want what i really want and dream for myself and not um yeah because i i don't know i just want to like mimic my family and what they did and shit like that because i had a great upbringing and childhood and amazing yeah parents that showed me i don't know okay we went over time what's new um if you like this episode please subscribe wherever you're listening right now follow me on instagram at jacqueline monroe subscribe to my youtube channel i uh post my podcast on youtube and spotify the video version uh follow me on tiktok

a pop star which is why i did this in the first place when i started the podcast i did a lot of brainstorming like what do i want my aesthetic to be what do i want to like because i'm gonna obviously recorded on video. It's like, what do I want to show up looking like? And I was like, I want to look like fucking Britney Spears with a pop star headset on. I was going to get a gaming headset actually with like, like pink fucking ears, like cat ears. And I decided on this one. It's a call center headset.

slash djms patreon.com slash djms if you want to support the show go check it out um I think that's all I have for you today I'm back baby I'm fucking back I've missed this yes I took a month off but I'm back and I can't wait to record the next episode I feel like you know when I fuck when I used to do this seven days a week it felt like flying every day I got on the microphone it was so effortless and the more I space out my podcast now or like when I do even when I started doing it weekly you just I just felt more rusty and I think it's because I get in my head about

it more like okay if people are tuning in once a week I gotta bring the you know the make sure it's entertaining and I bring enough content to the show that is worth their time and I come up with enough fun topics and I whatever like I get which is stupid as fuck because like the best podcasts are like my episode 242 where I'm literally sick with the flu I record seven days a week so I can't take a sick day sick with the flu at six in the morning cooking rice in my kitchen with my fucking laptop on my counter like going on about feminism and fucking how I don't I can't get behind there isn't a social go listen to it there's not a single social justice movement that I'm I can get behind and I don't I don't know it's so it's so it's such a good episode

um and i'm i can actually pat myself on the back and go wow goddamn god i can't believe i even saw a tiktok this episode is an ending i fuck um this girl was she posted a tiktok because obviously everyone's hating on andrew tate there's like a lot of especially girls women i mean or even i don't know what guys are but he's polarizing he's controversial a lot of people don't agree with him and what he's said also he has some allegations and so there's some videos of him doing bad things like obviously there's that um and people are pissed off that he's getting he's being platformed right now people are putting them on their top podcasts and giving him you know airtime when he's I guess done some shady shit so I get it I understand why

people don't like Andrew Tate but um but I saw this this girl posted a TikTok and she goes oh I was on Instagram and I noticed that the two people that follow Andrew Tate that I follow are the same two guys that I witnessed in person punching a wall because a girl rejected them is that funny that those two guys follow Andrew Tate? Like, what are the odds? Oh my God. That's so crazy. I got like fucking half a million views on that. I'm like, or likes. I'm like, I follow Andrew Tate. That's not a red flag to me. I just, I don't know. He makes a lot. I feel like he says a lot of shit. It's refreshing. that's all I'll say it's refreshing because I've felt weird as a not weird I felt like an outcast

as a woman in the society I'm growing up in because a lot of my opinions are extremely traditional and I'm and I feel like that's not embraced and it's kind of shunned like no women like everything's getting way too progressive and like too in my opinion especially like yeah just again I need to make an entire podcast on this topic and get into it but it's Andrew Tate what he's saying is refreshing that's all I'm going to say yeah and I think if you trans if you transcribed what he said and you took a moment to read it instead of like looking at him and listening like if you read what he said

and highlighted like there's a lot of points he makes that are kind of hard to argue with but it seems like here's what I don't like you can I can disagree like there's a couple things he says especially about a woman being like an only fans chick and the man gets all the money I don't agree with that I think that's a little bit but the way he explained

it on the full send podcast was like he's the man the man is more fiscally he's responsible for the money he manages it but it's not like she doesn't get any of it but it's like that's a little like iffy for me because i'm like yeah that's something i don't agree with but here's what i want to say it's like

what i don't like about people that shit on um entertainers content creators social media people uh actors actresses whoever celebrities it's like they they never say like oh i agree with that point they don't they always just like blanket that they don't like it's almost like anything that comes out of andrew tate's mouth just because he's andrew tate they hate it it's like they they'll never admit to like oh that's a good point or oh i agree with that or blah it's not like he just talks about women and men he talks about the government and society and how degenerate everything is now and how fucking

stupid like coronavirus is and it's like how there's a lot of shit you can agree with there it's like I wish people were more able to say yes I agree with that I don't agree with that but everyone's like a hater 100% a hater and they just that's a bad person because you said that one thing or did that one thing I wouldn't want someone to do that to me god damn it my video just cut off because i went past 22 minutes because my um my camera only records 22 minutes at a time so then i have to go and stop and start it's another upgrade i need to do but anyways what i was saying is you might disagree with something i said today like one point i made or one topic i talked about and that's fine but it's like that doesn't make me a bad person so it's like i don't

like when other people do that or I don't like when people just like fully it's the cancel culture thing they cancel someone for one thing which was it the Kendrick Lamar song I touched on a couple episodes ago where I'm like what's cancel what's the line in it like cancel culture what is that like yeah like i said since day one i said i wanna i don't i don't get it i'm like i don't like i don't get how when someone's canceled like i would just keep moving that's what i don't get when people go hide and go dark go away from the internet and like stop what they're doing because that got canceled like if I was Will Smith I'd fucking keep it well I mean he just came out I think he sent or he made a video to Chris like I saw something on Instagram but I would just keep

it moving like I don't know if I ever if I ever did some shit on the internet and people didn't like it I keep it moving I don't get it like I don't get how people actually go dark off the internet because it got canceled and then there's this whole thing like some people are uncancellable i feel like dave portnoy says that about himself like he's not he's like at that in that realm of like uncancel ability or ability like it's just a it's a stupid fucking thing so yeah since day one i'm like my whole podcast the whole like premise behind what i do here is i want to be the change i want to see in the world right and i don't want to live in a society i don't want to live in a world where people are canceled over their thoughts and ideas and opinions they share

publicly like that's fucking stupid I don't get it and so anyways um yeah I get canceling people for elite like when they do illegal shit that's the difference okay when something they do is illegal and you know like breaking the law is one thing but like sharing an opinion or saying something incorrectly and you know getting and I or just totally missing the ball on a topic and going off and like maybe at that well even that's not even I think that's stupid because it's like and you're saying like when people talk about their opinions on things they're just speaking their minds for in that moment of time when they're thinking about it they're not maybe

in a few more days they'll become more educated and they can elaborate and then go on more about it and they know more and now their idea might change it's like it's not fucking black and white um like our brains are constantly doing like this is getting too deep so um yeah how do i end the episode i i really don't know how to um fuck this went past 30 minutes i really need to get going um i'm gonna scrub my entire clown makeup off right now after I'm gonna press the space bar to stop recording I'm gonna scrub my clown makeup off put on a sundress and a bikini and go meet the fam meet the baby take Jimmy out finally shit he ran out of his kibble his dog food like two days ago and every time this

happens because I have it on a subscription on Amazon it's coming Monday every time this happens I'm like okay it's gonna be tuna and rice chicken and rice and some broccoli with some carrots you know like I'll make him food um for the couple days he doesn't have his kibble and it usually doesn't affect his digestive system but like this man has not shit I've fed him three times now he hasn't he hasn't shit so he needs to go outside I need to end the episode purely because of that hopefully he finally shits it's like so annoying I take he cried at the door last night at like 11 30 so like he needs to go he needs to go go outside and pee or whatever and i assumed he had to shit and nope we walked outside 11 30 uh i was in my pjs it was

fucking annoying and he just sniffed the bushes he peed a little bit sniffed the bushes and came back inside like what the hell man but he made such a big deal about like he whined at the door so um i hope you have a great week um i hope you're uh i hope you're doing yeah i hope you're healthy happy i hope you like yourself and love yourself all the good things what do i usually say i hope you're happy i hope you're fulfilled and i hope you love yourself i need to figure out a new ending or a way to end the show i just need something to like slap me in the face on a timer. Like what? I don't fucking like, I need a contraption. That's

like, as the hour goes on, it gets closer to my face and it slaps me. And that's when I actually have to end it. Okay. Love you guys. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for being here, listening, tuning in, subscribing, following, sharing, liking. I'm really that bitch like I'm really that person saying all those things like what the fuck this world needs entertainers I'm fucking one of them so it is what it is sometimes I do

these things and I say these things and I cringe a little bit but it's part of the job gotta do a little call to action at the end little CTA at the end like subscribe follow share review oh my god it's very simple you go to spotify you go to the apple podcast app

you go to my show you click five stars five four three two one whatever you're feeling i feel like honestly i always review it when i think about what to review the show um after the episode this is like a lukewarm three and a half go listen to episode 242 that's a five star episode there's like well I'm just saying that because the beginning was a little bit like rocky and a little all over the place and just like yeah but yeah you click one through five stars you submit done you can write something if you want um so okay bye I'm gonna come prepared next time I love podcasting you know what I mean it's just like

the fucking train wreck at the end it's like fucking train wreck crash at the end um fuck did I talk about the Uvalde shooting oh my god okay should I share this publicly i can't i said something so dark to my boyfriend like that maybe the third time we hung out i can't say it publicly it's not it's not it was just a joke it was a joke but like i i instantly said it and i'm like this is something if i had a little more balls i just talked about

not giving a fuck about cancel culture um I'll just fucking say it I don't care it's a joke I'm sorry so this is not I wasn't serious and this is fucked up this is like so dark this is like how the fuck could you even think about this or like come up with this in your brain that quickly my boyfriend is like I don't know 7 a.m and he's like this will get me like if this is an example of something that will get clipped and get me canceled so here's an example I'll just fucking give it to you my boyfriend goes um because he has he likes shooting guns and bow hunting and like that kind of stuff and he goes um it's like I don't know maybe 6 a.m we're in bed he's like oh he's like Jacqueline he's like I

really want to take you shooting and I go can't even fucking say it and I go I go what elementary school that's what I said to that to him saying I want to go I want to get shooting I go what elementary school or I said where's the nearest or something like that something fucked up like that that was like a week after it happened it was very fresh and I don't know I think what I've learned and observed from watching so many goddamn comedians do their fucking thing on stages on specials on their podcasts it's like there is a line of what's acceptable to like what's socially acceptable to say and comedians love to be up against it and then like over it and that would be an example of going crossing the line and that's where the

humor i feel like that's where the funny is because everything but ahead of the line is social like that's boring as fuck this the thing you say that that's where you get the emotional response that's where you get the holy fuck I can't believe they just said that or oh that's really true or oh that kind of stuff that's where you get people to go oh holy or they laugh or whatever because it's like you said that thing that's like crazy and my brain I've learned especially podcasting and just being around people in social settings when I talk it's like I very frequently cross the line and say the inappropriate thing or the fucked up thing or the dark thing like that example I just gave you and I don't know why I'm that way it's just it is

what it is but um yeah that's it's like fun because that's all it's never it's always a joke it's never you're never being you're not god that's what i do i'm gonna say this at the end i don't fucking care because i and i hate that i even bring him up i hate that i even fucking reference or make comments about i'm not into the episode about my ex-boyfriend but like the amount of times i would say something funny or crack a joke or be sarcastic around him where there was dead air just no like like he didn't get any he didn't get my humor it was like that is like strike one I can't never settle if someone doesn't get your humor fucking get the fuck out day one like I don't know why I put up with that for so long that's the number one thing

I'm like if you don't get that I'm being like he's he would reprimand me and be like oh that's inappropriate you shouldn't say that or that was crossing the line like how the fuck did he stay for a goddamn year fuck anyways you live and learn you live and learn you find out what you I found out a lot about myself about how I was like holding on and compromising and settling and just like I don't know um strange very strange how I've I don't know evolved okay what if I just like press stop and I don't end it okay bye um I love you thank you for being here like subscribe follow review um blow me up on my blow me up in my dms about what I just how
