Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well. I've had an amazing few days, and I wanted to share some exciting news with you. In the past five days, my podcast has been accepted on Spotify, iHeart, and Amazon Music, with Apple next on the list! The feedback has been overwhelming and heartwarming, and it truly motivates me to keep going.
Today, I want to talk about life, being real, and staying grounded. We'll discuss discrimination and the importance of treating everyone with respect, regardless of their background. Remember, success doesn't define who you are; staying true to yourself does.

So, hey, hey, hey. Hi, guys. Hope you're all doing well. Happy Thursday.
Almost Thursday Eve. I have had a great couple of days.
I wanted to jump on this morning and say hi, but, you know, life got crazy and
I kind of lost my mind, per usual, trying to get to work. But all is good. I'm on with you now.
(00:23):
I wanted to share a few things with you guys that some exciting news actually
that within like the past five days, not even, everything has just been going so fast.
I have been accepted to be on Spotify and iHeart and Amazon Music.
(00:43):
Last one to go is Apple. I'm so excited.
I can't even tell you. But what I'm more excited about is the feedback that
I've gotten from so many people.
I think this is the reason why I'm doing it is because of all the feedback I've been getting.
It has absolutely touched my heart beyond how I can even explain it to you all.
(01:05):
The messages that I've been getting saying, you know, Jenny, you really,
brought in something to me on a day that I was going through a bunch of things
and like, you You know, you affirmed so many things for me. And...
You know, I can't even like tell you, like I had one message today that someone
(01:26):
told me that she fell asleep listening to me and she had had a really horrible
day and I actually put her to sleep in a really good mood.
And so this is the reason why these are all the reasons why multiple reasons
why I want to like touch all of you out there in one way or another and talk about life.
Like I said, we're going to talk about life. We're going to be raw. we're going to be real.
(01:49):
And yeah, I mean, none of my stuff is like premeditated. I just jump on and talk shit with you guys.
And that's exactly who I am. For those of you that know me, it is what it is. I am.
And you know what? I'm going to start with something that is a saying that probably
most of you know, and it's so like fitting for my podcast.
(02:09):
And it's, you know what you get when you you assume? You make an ass out of you and me.
For those of you that have heard that, how true is that though?
All the idiots that always assume something that have no factual basis to like
assume whatever they're assuming.
But needless to say, we're not going to waste negative energy on that.
(02:30):
We're just going to talk about other things.
I had a big slew of things I wanted to talk to you guys about today.
I mean, it was like the list was going on and on. Oh yeah, I want to tell them
that. I want to tell them this. I want to talk about that. I want to talk about
this. But you know what? We can't do that all.
It'll be so overwhelming because
we have so many more podcasts to do and they're all going to be great.
But today, I just kind of want to talk about a couple of different things,
(02:53):
topics, just things that I think about because I'm a real analyzer.
I love to analyze things.
I like to really break things down in my mind psychologically and figure things
out, I'll figure out why people act the way they do or why they do the things they do.
You could almost kind of call me a profiler. It's almost like a joke in my family
(03:16):
that they call me, aka Jenny the profiler, but I'm pretty good at it, you know?
But needless to say, talking about like discriminating against people.
And, you know, I don't mean gender because I told you guys I'm not going to
get like political. I'm just not going to do it.
I love everybody. I don't care what nationality you are. I don't care what color
(03:38):
you are. I love humans as a whole.
And there's good and bad everywhere. Doesn't matter what occupation you do.
Doesn't matter, you know, what nationality you are. Doesn't matter where you were were born.
Doesn't matter how you got raised. You could have got raised by like the most
stellar parents in the world and still had issues.
(03:58):
It doesn't matter. You know, it's all, it's all social, like economical, whatever bullshit.
But my point is discrimination, right? So let's take an example.
Let's say that you were born into a family that was very poverty stricken and
it was was a struggle just to put food on the table every night.
(04:22):
And you grew up knowing that and,
you grew up and all of a sudden, like, you know, you went to college,
you had the opportunity to go to college and then you made it to be like,
let's say a high profile lawyer, right?
Big criminal lawyer. And you know, you married, you got a family going and whatnot.
(04:44):
You live like in in an affluent town.
So I'm going to just go backwards a minute.
If that was me, and that was me in that scenario, as the lawyer,
as the high profile lawyer, et cetera, this is just an example now,
would I still be the same person?
And that being said, yes, I would. But that's just me. Again,
(05:06):
I've done a lot of self-work.
I know that, you know, where we all come from, we all come from like the same
cloth at the end of the day. I don't care what anybody says.
We're like no better than the next person next to us. Okay.
My point being is some people get into that position, right,
that high-powered position, and all of a sudden they think they're the shit.
(05:28):
And everyone that they ever grew up with is no good.
You know, maybe they didn't make it to the point where they made it and or the
place where they made it. And, you know, they don't want to talk to them because
they're better than them.
And that's a big pet peeve of mine because, you know what, I was actually talking
about this not too long ago.
And I was saying to someone, you know, you can be like on top of the world one
(05:54):
minute and then in a blink of an eye, it can all be taken away from you.
I mean, like literally a blink of an eye, like something tragic can happen and
then you're no longer in that really like great place, okay?
So my point is just stay grounded and remember who you are. Just remember who
(06:15):
you were in the beginning.
Okay. So like, it's all like building. It's all like steps, right?
Where it's like building blocks.
We're all trying to get to somewhere that we want to be somehow, some way.
Some of us are driven to get to where we want to be and others are very happy
just being plateaued wherever they are in life.
And you know, they do their thing and they hit repeat every 24 hours, same bullshit.
(06:39):
And they just, you know, they're happy like that. And there's other people that
are like driven to get to the top.
And, you know, we're all different in that aspect. That's what makes,
you know, humanity so freaking interesting that we're all so really different.
But going back to the point of the word discriminating, I don't discriminate.
Okay. So I'll give you an example.
(06:59):
I grew up, like I said, in a Catholic upbringing, right?
Predominantly Italian. When my mom married, my dad was Dominican,
but he was very strict in his upbringing as well. And.
You know, they taught me to respect everybody. Okay. I went to Catholic school
and I hardly talked to begin with.
(07:19):
You'd never catch me on a podcast at like between probably before the age of
18. I think I was a selective mute.
I didn't talk at all. Now I can't stop talking, but you know,
it's good. That's why I'm here now with you guys.
But you know, they taught me to be nice to everybody and to respect everybody no matter what.
And those values are still like so strong for me.
(07:42):
And even now, if I'm driving down the street and someone catches my eye and
they need help, I see them crying on the side of the street, they're hungry,
I'm gonna stop and even if I only have $2 in my pocket,
I'm going to give it to them because that's just how I am. I'm not gonna discriminate.
(08:04):
I don't know what happened to that person that got them there on the street,
but I certainly know they weren't born like that for the most part, right?
I would say like maybe 2% of people, but for the most part, something happened
in their lives that got them in the street because none of us want to be in
the street. None of us want to be homeless.
None of us want to be sleeping under like a tunnel somewhere in the middle of the cold.
(08:27):
I mean, is that really the dream that they aspired to have when they grew up? No.
So it's like, in my eyes, humanity is about helping, helping,
helping, helping as much as we can because it's all about karma.
Karma comes around. Some people believe in it. Some people don't.
I am a firm believer of karma.
(08:48):
I can't tell you how many times people in my past have done me wrong and I've sat back silently.
And believe me, it takes a lot of willpower. I'm not going to say that it's
easy, okay? It takes a lot of willpower.
But I let karma just do its job.
You know, it's karma's in the universe and the universe just kind of knows what it's going to do.
(09:11):
And everything kind of circles around when it's the right time.
And it might not be a day from when that person wronged you or a month or a year.
But then like three years down the road, you kind of hear like,
oh, you know, this or that.
And you kind of, you know, whatever, think to yourself, oh, yeah,
(09:31):
well, you know, that person wasn't such a good person.
So I guess they were deserving of that to some extent.
A lot of people don't believe in karma. A lot of people don't believe in all
that kind of universe stuff, but I am so big on that stuff.
I think just because I've had stuff happen in my life where I can actually attest
and be like, wow, that really happens when you have a positive mindset or that
(09:56):
doesn't happen, vice versa.
Manifestation, huge, huge. You put it out there in the universe, it'll happen.
I'm telling you, that's why I always say, be careful. I have it in my bio.
Be careful what you wish for because it will come true.
You have to be very positive. You have to think carefully what you want in life
(10:20):
before you just throw it out there and say it out loud.
And by the way, I know I'm very aware of the chirping from the smoke detector, okay?
It's hardwired. I'm having someone come fix it. And all I did was laugh when
I got those comments from people that that's all they hear in the background.
But you know, that's typical of me. I don't need perfection.
(10:42):
I'm not on here to be perfect by any means. I don't even want to be perfect
because there is no such thing.
But I want to come on here and just shoot the shit with you guys.
And if there's a smoke detector in the background, so be it because I really don't care.
And I'm sorry if you're ADHD like me and you you hear it. But right now,
it's not really bothering me. So don't let it bother you.
And that brings me back to like the other day, I caught myself saying,
(11:06):
just do it, which I love that.
And we're going to talk about that all the time. Just do it.
No one ever just does it. And who has that logo? Nike. So go Nike.
I love the logo. Just do it. Everyone should just do it, right?
A lot of us hold on to the just do it's forever.
And then, you know, you die and you never did anything. And you were like,
(11:28):
God, I wish I had done that when you're like 70.
And you're like, I wish I had done A, B, C, and D, but why didn't you do it?
I mean, seriously, like, why does everybody like sit on their dreams?
I don't understand. Like, why do people sit on their aspirations?
I don't really know. I mean, that's a good question, right? I mean,
do people even have aspirations or dreams?
(11:49):
Is it just like a small percentage of people that do? Or does everybody dream big?
You know, I mean, people want to be millionaires. How do you become a millionaire?
I don't know. Do you just like scratch a ticket, scratch ticket and become one?
Because you certainly don't do it just by going to school for two years.
But anyways, you know, what can you say? So yeah, I'm going to go back to my
childhood, Dominican, Italian.
(12:12):
And how strict were they? So strict. Can I just tell you, like we would go to
people's house and visit, right? Right.
Back in the day, you would go visit people like no one visits anybody anymore.
You know how you visit? You like comment on their social media.
That would be considered visiting.
Okay. Nobody knocks on your door anymore. It's like you hit a like and you're
(12:33):
like, oh, that person acknowledged me. Yeah, they like my post. Yay.
But okay. So when we would like go visit people, right?
I'd go with my mom and we'd go visit like, I don't know, whoever,
right? A cousin, whatever.
And they would be like, oh, Jenny, do you want some ice cream?
And I was probably like six years old. And I was literally terrified to talk
(12:56):
or terrified, even though I wanted that ice cream so freaking bad.
Can I just tell you like fear? Because my mother had warned me before we actually
got to the person's house.
If you like get up or you ever touch anybody's refrigerator,
like I'll cut your hand off.
So it was like, okay, I wasn't planning on touching the refrigerator,
but yeah, I got your point. I'm going to get my hand cut off.
(13:19):
So the lady's like, oh, do you want ice cream?
And I'd have to like look up at her silently, of course, because I couldn't talk, right?
Because I had like so much fear in me to talk that I never talked.
I just listened to all the adults around me for probably a billion years.
And I kind of looked at her and then she'd say to me, do you want ice cream?
(13:40):
And then I would like gently nod my head. And then I would get ice cream.
And it was like the highlight of our visit while we visited people.
But it was like, I'm telling you, hard growing up in a strict Italian family.
And I'm sure a lot of you guys can totally relate. I mean, everything is just so controlled.
Italians like to control, you know, it's all about the control.
(14:02):
I mean, I was like that too as a mom when the kids were little.
It's like, don't touch that. Don't do that.
I want the spoons going exactly the same way. And if somebody went in the drawer
to go get a spoon and they knocked the whole freaking row of spoons off and
they were like going the wrong way, I freaked out.
Totally past that now. Can I tell you? Like so past that shit.
Like that is like, I guess, a sign of major OCD and it's just bullshit.
(14:26):
It's obviously like a distraction for your other issues in life, right?
So, you know, you're pissed at your husband or whatever the case is,
and you're like cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
And you know what? That's like bullshit. And for those of you that do that,
something's definitely bothering you.
Let me just tell you, because cleaning is not really something I used to say
like, oh, I love cleaning.
(14:46):
I freaking live for cleaning. I actually, actually.
Clean the floors on my hands and knees as if I was like Cinderella.
Yeah, I did. Don't ask me why, but it was like the most therapeutic thing ever.
I'd start like in one corner and I'd like move to the right and then I'd move
to the left and then I'd move to the right and I'd work my way back to every
(15:07):
room. Psychotic, right?
So, I mean, who does that? Who gets on their hands and knees and like washes
the floor with like a bucket and a cloth? I mean, seriously,
what day and age were we living in, you know?
I mean, it's plain out stupid, but my point is, is that, you know,
if you're doing shit like that, then you're like, you got issues.
I mean, I had issues. I just dealt with it through the cleaning thing and the
(15:28):
obsession and the OCD, you know?
I mean, I had to distract myself somehow, you know? And so that's what we do in life.
We would distract ourselves from things that bother us by doing other things.
We're all guilty of it, definitely.
But I don't know. One one day I just woke up and I was like, enough.
This is total bullshit. Like I
could care less if the forks are going with the, you know, the wrong way.
(15:52):
Don't get me wrong. I still like the forks in its own like, you know,
little spot and then the big spoons and the little spoons and the butter knife and then the knives.
I mean, that will drive me nuts if you put a spoon with a knife.
That's going to drive me up a wall, but they don't need to be facing upright
or sideways. ways. I'm way past that bullshit.
So yeah. So that being said, I wanted to share with you guys that since Saturday,
(16:17):
when I began my podcast in the afternoon.
I've had, I think, 300 downloads, and I am so excited.
And can I just tell you, I had three downloads in Germany.
I mean, are you kidding me? It reached Germany.
I mean, holy shit. I am like so excited. I can't even tell you.
(16:39):
Like, I want it to go like global.
I mean, this is great. And can I also tell you guys, I want you guys to like
give me feedback, back and I want you guys to jump in and like,
you know, add comments because I will love to reciprocate to all of you.
I want to hear what you have to say about today's podcast and what you think about it.
But anyways, going back, here's my ADHD.
(17:02):
I warned you guys in the first podcast that I was going to jump,
jump, jump, jump. So hopefully you guys follow.
But like I said about the whole discrimination thing, I just,
you know, keep it in mind.
Just take it, take like, take the the information I'm giving you and like maybe
apply it tomorrow, tonight, whatever for the rest of your life, hopefully.
(17:22):
And just be nice to people, you know, like people don't choose to be in these
really awful situations.
Okay. Remember that this isn't something that they aspire to do was be homeless
or be hungry or whatever the case is. Okay.
Just be a little bit more sensitive to people and don't sit on a high horse
(17:43):
and think that you are like the shit because you're not. I hate to break it to you.
You're not. You're not. You're just a regular person.
I really don't care who you are. At the end of the day, you are just a regular
fucking person. That's it. Done.
Sorry if I just burst your bubble, but whatever. It's the truth.
(18:05):
So yeah, I don't know. So we're just going to go with the logo,
you know, Nike, just do it.
How about you just do it? How about you start doing shit? And how about you
start doing things that you want to do? How about that?
How about you wake up with a positive attitude?
And like I said, you apply positivity to your life and you're going to see a huge difference.
Why don't you guys try it? For those of you that have not tried it,
(18:28):
try it tomorrow when you start a fresh day and God's blessed you or the universe
has blessed you to put your feet on the ground tomorrow.
Why don't you try it? Why don't you just thank the universe for giving you another
day and put your dreams into effect and, you know, go for things that you want.
(18:48):
And like Nikki says, just do it.
I caught myself after the podcast when I got off with you guys,
and I was like, I love that, the just do it.
And, you know, that's where we're going to leave today, okay?
And you know what? I'm going to tell you again, you know what you get when you assume.
So remember that. Hence, no assumptions, okay? That's why I love the title of my podcast.
(19:13):
Like, I cannot tell you how much I love it because it's going to open so many
avenues for us to talk about in life and in reality and relationships and yeah, and that's it.
So anyways, that being said, I will later, I do plan on coming on here frequently.
(19:34):
Granted, I don't have like a regular
schedule, but I think you guys get notified when I put a podcast on.
So anyways keep helping me
make this grow share it as much as
you can with your friends with your family with your colleagues so far like
I said I've gotten really awesome feedback people love it they love shooting
the shit with me and yeah again that's what you're gonna get raw and real no
(19:58):
perfection here I hate that we're not doing that we're not doing that kind of
podcast we're We're never going to do that kind of podcast.
And yeah, anyways, I will talk to you guys soon.
And again, please leave me a comment. I would love to hear.
I would really love to hear and I'd love to engage with you guys.
Okay, that being said, God bless you and love you guys. And I will talk to you soon. Bye.
So, hey, hey, hey. Hi, guys. Hope you're all doing well. Happy Thursday.
Almost Thursday Eve. I have had a great couple of days.
I wanted to jump on this morning and say hi, but, you know, life got crazy and
I kind of lost my mind, per usual, trying to get to work. But all is good. I'm on with you now.
(00:23):
I wanted to share a few things with you guys that some exciting news actually
that within like the past five days, not even, everything has just been going so fast.

Okay. So like, it's all like building. It's all like steps, right?
Where it's like building blocks.
We're all trying to get to somewhere that we want to be somehow, some way.
Some of us are driven to get to where we want to be and others are very happy
just being plateaued wherever they are in life.
And you know, they do their thing and they hit repeat every 24 hours, same bullshit.
(06:39):
And they just, you know, they're happy like that. And there's other people that
are like driven to get to the top.
And, you know, we're all different in that aspect. That's what makes,
you know, humanity so freaking interesting that we're all so really different.
But going back to the point of the word discriminating, I don't discriminate.
Okay. So I'll give you an example.
(06:59):
I grew up, like I said, in a Catholic upbringing, right?
Predominantly Italian. When my mom married, my dad was Dominican,
but he was very strict in his upbringing as well. And.
You know, they taught me to respect everybody. Okay. I went to Catholic school
and I hardly talked to begin with.
(07:19):
You'd never catch me on a podcast at like between probably before the age of
18. I think I was a selective mute.
I didn't talk at all. Now I can't stop talking, but you know,
it's good. That's why I'm here now with you guys.
But you know, they taught me to be nice to everybody and to respect everybody no matter what.
And those values are still like so strong for me.
(07:42):
And even now, if I'm driving down the street and someone catches my eye and
they need help, I see them crying on the side of the street, they're hungry,
I'm gonna stop and even if I only have $2 in my pocket,
I'm going to give it to them because that's just how I am. I'm not gonna discriminate.
(08:04):
I don't know what happened to that person that got them there on the street,
but I certainly know they weren't born like that for the most part, right?
I would say like maybe 2% of people, but for the most part, something happened
in their lives that got them in the street because none of us want to be in
the street. None of us want to be homeless.
None of us want to be sleeping under like a tunnel somewhere in the middle of the cold.
(08:27):
I mean, is that really the dream that they aspired to have when they grew up? No.
So it's like, in my eyes, humanity is about helping, helping,
helping, helping as much as we can because it's all about karma.
Karma comes around. Some people believe in it. Some people don't.
I am a firm believer of karma.
(08:48):
I can't tell you how many times people in my past have done me wrong and I've sat back silently.
And believe me, it takes a lot of willpower. I'm not going to say that it's
easy, okay? It takes a lot of willpower.
But I let karma just do its job.
You know, it's karma's in the universe and the universe just kind of knows what it's going to do.
(09:11):
And everything kind of circles around when it's the right time.
And it might not be a day from when that person wronged you or a month or a year.
But then like three years down the road, you kind of hear like,
oh, you know, this or that.
And you kind of, you know, whatever, think to yourself, oh, yeah,
(09:31):
well, you know, that person wasn't such a good person.
So I guess they were deserving of that to some extent.
A lot of people don't believe in karma. A lot of people don't believe in all
that kind of universe stuff, but I am so big on that stuff.
I think just because I've had stuff happen in my life where I can actually attest
and be like, wow, that really happens when you have a positive mindset or that
(09:56):
doesn't happen, vice versa.
Manifestation, huge, huge. You put it out there in the universe, it'll happen.
I'm telling you, that's why I always say, be careful. I have it in my bio.
Be careful what you wish for because it will come true.
You have to be very positive. You have to think carefully what you want in life
(10:20):
before you just throw it out there and say it out loud.
And by the way, I know I'm very aware of the chirping from the smoke detector, okay?
It's hardwired. I'm having someone come fix it. And all I did was laugh when
I got those comments from people that that's all they hear in the background.
But you know, that's typical of me. I don't need perfection.
(10:42):
I'm not on here to be perfect by any means. I don't even want to be perfect
because there is no such thing.
But I want to come on here and just shoot the shit with you guys.
And if there's a smoke detector in the background, so be it because I really don't care.
And I'm sorry if you're ADHD like me and you you hear it. But right now,
it's not really bothering me. So don't let it bother you.
And that brings me back to like the other day, I caught myself saying,
(11:06):
just do it, which I love that.
And we're going to talk about that all the time. Just do it.
No one ever just does it. And who has that logo? Nike. So go Nike.
I love the logo. Just do it. Everyone should just do it, right?
A lot of us hold on to the just do it's forever.
And then, you know, you die and you never did anything. And you were like,
(11:28):
God, I wish I had done that when you're like 70.
And you're like, I wish I had done A, B, C, and D, but why didn't you do it?
I mean, seriously, like, why does everybody like sit on their dreams?
I don't understand. Like, why do people sit on their aspirations?
I don't really know. I mean, that's a good question, right? I mean,
do people even have aspirations or dreams?
(11:49):
Is it just like a small percentage of people that do? Or does everybody dream big?
You know, I mean, people want to be millionaires. How do you become a millionaire?
I don't know. Do you just like scratch a ticket, scratch ticket and become one?
Because you certainly don't do it just by going to school for two years.
But anyways, you know, what can you say? So yeah, I'm going to go back to my
childhood, Dominican, Italian.
(12:12):
And how strict were they? So strict. Can I just tell you, like we would go to
people's house and visit, right? Right.
Back in the day, you would go visit people like no one visits anybody anymore.
You know how you visit? You like comment on their social media.
That would be considered visiting.
Okay. Nobody knocks on your door anymore. It's like you hit a like and you're
(12:33):
like, oh, that person acknowledged me. Yeah, they like my post. Yay.
But okay. So when we would like go visit people, right?
I'd go with my mom and we'd go visit like, I don't know, whoever,
right? A cousin, whatever.
And they would be like, oh, Jenny, do you want some ice cream?
And I was probably like six years old. And I was literally terrified to talk
(12:56):
or terrified, even though I wanted that ice cream so freaking bad.
Can I just tell you like fear? Because my mother had warned me before we actually
got to the person's house.
If you like get up or you ever touch anybody's refrigerator,
like I'll cut your hand off.
So it was like, okay, I wasn't planning on touching the refrigerator,
but yeah, I got your point. I'm going to get my hand cut off.
(13:19):
So the lady's like, oh, do you want ice cream?
And I'd have to like look up at her silently, of course, because I couldn't talk, right?
Because I had like so much fear in me to talk that I never talked.
I just listened to all the adults around me for probably a billion years.
And I kind of looked at her and then she'd say to me, do you want ice cream?
(13:40):
And then I would like gently nod my head. And then I would get ice cream.
And it was like the highlight of our visit while we visited people.
But it was like, I'm telling you, hard growing up in a strict Italian family.
And I'm sure a lot of you guys can totally relate. I mean, everything is just so controlled.
Italians like to control, you know, it's all about the control.
(14:02):
I mean, I was like that too as a mom when the kids were little.
It's like, don't touch that. Don't do that.
I want the spoons going exactly the same way. And if somebody went in the drawer
to go get a spoon and they knocked the whole freaking row of spoons off and
they were like going the wrong way, I freaked out.
Totally past that now. Can I tell you? Like so past that shit.
Like that is like, I guess, a sign of major OCD and it's just bullshit.
(14:26):
It's obviously like a distraction for your other issues in life, right?
So, you know, you're pissed at your husband or whatever the case is,
and you're like cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
And you know what? That's like bullshit. And for those of you that do that,
something's definitely bothering you.
Let me just tell you, because cleaning is not really something I used to say
like, oh, I love cleaning.
(14:46):
I freaking live for cleaning. I actually, actually.
Clean the floors on my hands and knees as if I was like Cinderella.
Yeah, I did. Don't ask me why, but it was like the most therapeutic thing ever.
I'd start like in one corner and I'd like move to the right and then I'd move
to the left and then I'd move to the right and I'd work my way back to every
(15:07):
room. Psychotic, right?
So, I mean, who does that? Who gets on their hands and knees and like washes
the floor with like a bucket and a cloth? I mean, seriously,
what day and age were we living in, you know?
I mean, it's plain out stupid, but my point is, is that, you know,
if you're doing shit like that, then you're like, you got issues.
I mean, I had issues. I just dealt with it through the cleaning thing and the
(15:28):
obsession and the OCD, you know?
I mean, I had to distract myself somehow, you know? And so that's what we do in life.
We would distract ourselves from things that bother us by doing other things.
We're all guilty of it, definitely.
But I don't know. One one day I just woke up and I was like, enough.
This is total bullshit. Like I
could care less if the forks are going with the, you know, the wrong way.
(15:52):
Don't get me wrong. I still like the forks in its own like, you know,
little spot and then the big spoons and the little spoons and the butter knife and then the knives.
I mean, that will drive me nuts if you put a spoon with a knife.
That's going to drive me up a wall, but they don't need to be facing upright
or sideways. ways. I'm way past that bullshit.
So yeah. So that being said, I wanted to share with you guys that since Saturday,
(16:17):
when I began my podcast in the afternoon.
I've had, I think, 300 downloads, and I am so excited.
And can I just tell you, I had three downloads in Germany.
I mean, are you kidding me? It reached Germany.
I mean, holy shit. I am like so excited. I can't even tell you.
(16:39):
Like, I want it to go like global.
I mean, this is great. And can I also tell you guys, I want you guys to like
give me feedback, back and I want you guys to jump in and like,
you know, add comments because I will love to reciprocate to all of you.
I want to hear what you have to say about today's podcast and what you think about it.
But anyways, going back, here's my ADHD.
(17:02):
I warned you guys in the first podcast that I was going to jump,
jump, jump, jump. So hopefully you guys follow.
But like I said about the whole discrimination thing, I just,
you know, keep it in mind.
Just take it, take like, take the the information I'm giving you and like maybe
apply it tomorrow, tonight, whatever for the rest of your life, hopefully.
(17:22):
And just be nice to people, you know, like people don't choose to be in these
really awful situations.
Okay. Remember that this isn't something that they aspire to do was be homeless
or be hungry or whatever the case is. Okay.
Just be a little bit more sensitive to people and don't sit on a high horse
(17:43):
and think that you are like the shit because you're not. I hate to break it to you.
You're not. You're not. You're just a regular person.
I really don't care who you are. At the end of the day, you are just a regular
fucking person. That's it. Done.
Sorry if I just burst your bubble, but whatever. It's the truth.
(18:05):
So yeah, I don't know. So we're just going to go with the logo,
you know, Nike, just do it.
How about you just do it? How about you start doing shit? And how about you
start doing things that you want to do? How about that?
How about you wake up with a positive attitude?
And like I said, you apply positivity to your life and you're going to see a huge difference.
Why don't you guys try it? For those of you that have not tried it,
(18:28):
try it tomorrow when you start a fresh day and God's blessed you or the universe
has blessed you to put your feet on the ground tomorrow.
Why don't you try it? Why don't you just thank the universe for giving you another
day and put your dreams into effect and, you know, go for things that you want.
(18:48):
And like Nikki says, just do it.
I caught myself after the podcast when I got off with you guys,
and I was like, I love that, the just do it.
And, you know, that's where we're going to leave today, okay?
And you know what? I'm going to tell you again, you know what you get when you assume.
So remember that. Hence, no assumptions, okay? That's why I love the title of my podcast.
(19:13):
Like, I cannot tell you how much I love it because it's going to open so many
avenues for us to talk about in life and in reality and relationships and yeah, and that's it.
So anyways, that being said, I will later, I do plan on coming on here frequently.
(19:34):
Granted, I don't have like a regular
schedule, but I think you guys get notified when I put a podcast on.
So anyways keep helping me
make this grow share it as much as
you can with your friends with your family with your colleagues so far like
I said I've gotten really awesome feedback people love it they love shooting
the shit with me and yeah again that's what you're gonna get raw and real no
(19:58):
perfection here I hate that we're not doing that we're not doing that kind of
podcast we're We're never going to do that kind of podcast.
And yeah, anyways, I will talk to you guys soon.
And again, please leave me a comment. I would love to hear.
I would really love to hear and I'd love to engage with you guys.
Okay, that being said, God bless you and love you guys. And I will talk to you soon. Bye.
