Hello and welcome to the Year Na Year podcast. My name is CJ and your girls found the DSer. So I'm pretty stoked with that. I thought I didn't have one and I thought I might have to download one in the um plug-in section, but turns out I've got a DSer. I've got the D Esser. And she sells seashells on the seashore and I'm sorry about ears if this ain't working, but we'll see. Okay, so I just had a wee listen back. It's not the best and it's not the worst, but it might just mean that I can actually talk kind of normal normally now and not have to worry too much about the S or yeah Sing Sing S words Hey the old dreaded S words don't say the S words Anyway Where we at? Fuck I nearly didn't do one of these this week. It's Monday because it's it's Anzac Day what do you call it? Revised or fucking whatever the word is where they bloom and do the public holiday because I think Saturday was Saturday was Anzac Day and because we didn't have a pu like we would have got ripped off a day off, so they give it to us on another day. And that's today. So how yeah to a three-day weekend sh up the up the Anzacs for that. Fuck yeah. I love a three-day weekend, and after being self-employed for such a long time and having no regular schedule with weekends and all that sort of stuff, I've worked many a weekend, but I've also had many a three-day weekend. So yeah. So I'm a musician too. Don't know if I have don't know if I've mentioned that, but I um I mostly play the guitar and sing these days and I just got this wee stroke of blemin creativity and so so because I yeah, am hyper focused on that, I was like, ah fuck the podcast, I don't want to be a podcaster anymore. Yeah. So here I am laying down some voice words coming out of my mouth hole. And yeah, um it's been really nice. It's been really nice to be playing some music and sending the music to people and hearing feedback and seeing what they reckon and yeah, like I think this has always been a passion for me, the songwriting and being a musician, but sometimes things get lost a little bit in life and trying to be cool and fear, fear of being seen, or fear of failing, or feel feeling like I'm not good enough, and whatever, and a little bit of that stuff has actually come up with podcasting, to be honest. Like at this point, I'm a bit of a podcast hoarder because I'm not putting them out, I'm recording them, but I'm not putting them out, and I'm thinking I was washing my dishes before this, and I thought, fucking, maybe I just need to put it out. Maybe I just need to put it out, and the guilt and shame of people listening to it might actually inspire me to, you know, find an intro bit of music and outro bit of music and learn how to edit them properly so that they're not so shit because people could listen to them. Uh yeah, that's kind of where I'm at with that. I'm I'm thinking, yeah, I might just put them out and fuck. Yeah, who cares? I'm hoping that I can say fuck. Um Yeah. I don't know how that works with podcasting and how many F-word like what's your quota? What's the quota of swear words for podcasting? I'm actually gonna Google that. Not the quota, but like how can you can you swear in your podcast? Can you swear in your podcast? Question mark. What's Google got to say? Yes, you can swear in your podcast, but you must mark your show or individual episodes as explicit on platforms like Apple and Spotify to avoid issues. Well you have creative freedom, excessive swearing can affect sponsorship opportunities, limit your audience, or negatively impact your professional image. Well, fuck. Yeah, I don't think I I fuck, I really don't yeah. Yeah. So the explicit tag is it, isn't it? Explicit tag, provide a warning at the beginning of episodes containing profanity. Do we have to do that? Nah, surely not. Some advertisers use AI to screen for high volumes of profanity which can make it harder to monetize. That's out of it. Wonder how they do that. I don't know. Anyway, yeah, fuck. I'm really not worried about that. Maybe I can not swear later on down the track, but I heard a guy once say he was given like a bit of a um a speechy thing, and uh I don't know if speech is the right word, but anyway, I'll use that for now. And he was saying, you know, I'm an artist, you can't take away my favourite colours, and that's that for me too. Swearing, profanity is those are my favourite colours. And unless you want to sit here and listen to me say um and I don't know what else I don't know what else I use heckin, you know, heckin frickin' heck I'll probably say that anyway to be honest. I've got a little bit of like 90-year-old man um genes, surely. Like there's some sort of like in my DNA, like 90-year-old man, because yeah, I do say frick and heck and um Yeah, and Zek and the new hyperfocus, and that's where we're at, and this is where I am doing my podcast because I saw this um inspirational speech actually. I was on Twitter, and he was saying about you don't know how many more sunrises you're gonna see and I was like, Oh shit. I'm never actually up generally to see the sunrise. It's once in a very blue moon that I actually see a sunrise, but it did make me make me think like you don't actually know when when your time's up, and I oh lucky I caught that. Lucky I'm not sitting halfway in my fucking wardrobe because my the sis the system just overloaded. So yeah, I was having a bit of a conversation about this sort of thing with my friend today, and he's gonna go and swim or go in like one of those cages with Great White, and he was just saying it's a bucketless thing, like fuck it. He doesn't want to sit and wait around, um, and yeah, and or like sit there and at times when he could have done it, didn't do it, and then he gets too old to do it, and then he's like, Fuck, I wish I did that. So he's just gonna go and do it, and I think that's amazing. And I want to live my life a bit more like that too. I've spent so much of my life trapped in fear, and um it's mostly just fear, actually. Like it's a lot of fear. Fucking what if this doesn't work out? What if it does work out? Like, yeah, instead of just doing the thing, and that's what this video was saying, like your actions today create your future. And I've gained a fair amount this weekend, and it's been so nice, it's been actually really nice to just chill and stay in my fucking dressing gown till like 12 o'clock and not give a shit. If the neighbours see me, I gave a little bit of a shit. That was a lie. Um, but yeah, like fuck it. Who cares? I'm an adult. If I want to stay in my fucking dressing gown until 12 o'clock, then I can. That's the way that I'm choosing to live my life in. Yeah, just bitter R and R. Bitter R and R. Bitter not feeling guilty because I'm not being productive. I still I mowed my lawns. I fucking mowed my lawns today, man, they look good. I um weed eat it across the road, too, which I do that every time I do my lawns, just because it makes me feel good. And I also look at that piece of piece of whatever you call it when I'm having my morning coffee in the weekends, because in the weekdays I'm always too late to have a morning fucking coffee, so I have that on the way to work. But yeah, it's just it's nice to have everything up to date, and I was thinking about going away this weekend, but I'm really glad I didn't. Like I'm glad I was so disorganised and kind of forgot that I actually get long weekends now working for a company too. Um, that I didn't plan anything, and I just yeah, had some time. Had some time to just chill out and um write some music, yeah. And and lean into that stuff, caught up with with um with a person too, spent some real good, solid quality time there, got cooked breakfast, that was real nice, went for a walk on the beach, spun some yarns, found some cool rocks. Um I think my autism's showing now a little bit. You might be drawing a bit of a picture. Um yeah. So that's pretty much where I'm at. Didn't prepare anything for today. I did have some things like around social hierarchy and um I could have talked a little bit about songwriting and where I'm at with that, but I mostly just wanted to check in like a normal fucking human being instead of having to be like this knowledgeable wizard, because that's actually not who I am either. Like I am a little bit, I'd know weird facts, like the amount of people that I've told my little weird facts. For instance, Albert Einstein never wore socks, that's like my go-to, pretty much. Weird fun fact. Um it has been nice, like learning about different topics and stuff. I don't know if I'm gonna release fucking any of them. Like one the one on Iran, uh bit political. Don't really think I want this podcast to be a political thing. Like there's lots of political wizards, I'm sure, that will let you know way more than what I ever will. So um yeah, but it is nice as well to be able to like pass on I guess share, not pass on, like share little stuff that I'm learning here and there. So I don't know. Anyway, I'm tired. I'm tired. It's nearly my hour of power, it's 8 48 pm on the 27th of April. Um and yeah, I get a free hour of power with electric kiwi at 9 till 10, and I've got some things, oh some work clothes actually, in the dryer that I want to turn on. It's the only fucking time I use the dryer because holy heck, it's spinny. Um that yeah, and I'll flick on the heaters because I didn't light the fire tonight. Um yeah, fucking love me a free hour of power. But I'm tired, man. I've slept so much this weekend. I slept about 12 hours on Friday. Excuse me. About 12 hours on Friday, about eight or nine hours Saturday, and then last night, fuck I must have slept for like ten hours again, and I'm ready for bed already. Maybe it's the Milo's making me sleepy. I don't know. I love that it's Milo weather. I was thinking that when I was making my Milo for like because I was it was my thing that I'd like sit down with a cold drink, fizzy drink in the summer. Anyway, that's my jam. But yeah, I'd sit down with a cold fizzy drink here and record my podcast, but now it's a Milo. And there's just so something so comforting about Milo's. Like Milo's in the winter, it takes me back to like being a kid. Yeah, maybe that's my love language, eh? Like from my childhood being made a Milo. Oh man, yeah. But the Milo's gotta be made right too. Like my jam, it's like coffee, eh? But nobody nobody tends to ask you how you like your Milo. Like, how do you have your Milo? Fucking that should be like a compulsory question. Cause man, a shit Milo, it's like a fucking watery raro. Like, it's not it's not it's not the tahy. Um, but yeah, I have two two scoops of Milo, two two two scoops of Milo, two scoops of s fuck. Two two Milo's, two sugars, and milk. Which for me, because I'm um bit lactose intolerant, milk doesn't really agree with me, but I still eat a lot of fucking dairy for someone that's lactose intolerant. Um, yep, it's oat milk. I eat I drink oat milk. I'm gonna shut up now. I'm gonna go and put my dryer on and dry my work clothes and I've made my smoothie. I've washed my fucking dishes. I've been in a bit of a slump recently and not been washing my dishes and living like a hobo. So yeah, wash put away my dishes from this morning, wash my dishes from tonight. Hell yeah. Made my smoothie, so my smoothie because I've been gimming it also, by the way, oh hey, I've been gimming it. This is all the stuff I ha can't fill years in on when I'm just talking about interesting fun facts. You're missing the interesting fun facts in life from me. Yeah, anyway, fuck. I've been making smoothies and trying to fucking eat clean and that and so yeah. Yeah, been making smoothies, frozen tru is it like a tropical no, so I think it's just smoothie mix. Yeah, it's like in a pink and is it pink and purple or yellow? I don't know. It has like mango. It has like my mango, pineapple, blueberries, uh, strawberries in it. And then I put some yogurt, high protein yogurt, which is like 16 grams of protein per serve, which I think is fucking insane. But um, yeah, high protein yogurt, hemp powder, uh chia seeds for extra fibre, because I didn't eat enough veggies last week and fucking lesson learnt there. Holy shit. When you're eating a high protein diet and decent carbs, you fucking need the fibre family. Don't forget the fibre, you won't shit. Okay, so don't don't forget the fibre. Um yeah. Uh what else do I have? Yeah, and chair seeds. Oh, and rice flakes for some carbs. I don't know if they need to go in there, but any calories that I can get at the moment, like good, good pretty much. I don't think I'm gonna get like real chunky. I've never been real chunky in my life. Touch wood, but I do work a physical job and I do go to the gym too. Um I went how many times last week did I go? Uh I think only twice last week. Yeah, because I've been carpooling, so if I carpool I don't go to the gym. Um and I think it's gonna be the same this week too. No carpool uh yeah, it's like no work today, so there'll be like two days. Fuck. Yeah, two days at the gym if I don't make it in on the weekends, yeah. I don't know. I've not been too fond of going into into town on the weekends. Anyways, fuck. This was probably really boring, but that's a bit of an update on my life and stuff and things, and that's all for tonight. That is all for tonight. Thanks so much for tuning in. Thanks for making it this far along the yarn if you've fucking stayed. You're a trooper, mate, over there, or you're insane, like mentally insane like me. Um, so congrats on that too. Anyways, much love, peace out. We'll see you on the next one.
