Enjoy The Balance of Your Day

By Njoy

Being my first podcast, I barely know how to describe this. I'm looking to chat about many things. I'll have an email for listener requests. If there is something on your mind that you would like to hear about let me know. Actually, you can come on the show and we can chat right there. No worries. Let's do this. Let's have fun.

Change vs. Compromise aka Grey Ticket Scratch or Nah

From the confines of the chilly car studio, I mumble out another sleepy episode…thank you for listening, no really, it means the most. Next week, maybe I’ll cover something upbeat, like a murder.

Red Flag Academy: Part 1

A special request episode to end Season 2 of Enjoy The Balance of Your Day…This is a story I’ve avoided sharing here for a few reasons but here I am. I’ll set my own trigger warning for PTSD and rage induced rants and whatnot. My cohost Steebie is here to keep me present and in the moment. It’s an hour and a two part episode because I legit ran out of the wherewithal to continue.

Get His Ass, Featuring my Special Guest, Ms. Patsy

My client Ms. Patsy has some strong feelings about Sister Wives. Warning: This is not a recap episode, I repeat, this is not a recap. It’s also two smooth minutes short of thirty minutes long, but I’m calling it a full episode, as long as god allows and the creek don’t rise. #IYKYK

In this first episode of the year I thank FB and TikTok followers, dive into bits about last year, rant about aging, swear a bit, mention a show I’m following and catch you up on other things…all from the comfort of my CarUdio. It’s me, I’m Njoy and you’re (not your) listening to Enjoy The Balance of Your Day.

Blind Post! Blind as in, I have not previewed it at. We can ALL be surprised. Here is what I know, because I was there: It’s another great recap of Jordan Peele’s Quiet Part Loud podcast. It’s featuring Producer Marissa (or whatever you call the genius who knows how to record via zoom and convert). It’s short, but spectacular, because life happens. Thanks for listening🎧

Yassssss! We recorded this episode on 12/19. I could not muster the strength to upload right away, as I was watching VERY IMPORTANT THINGS during my vacation. Yesterday, I made a feeble attempt and dropped an SOS on FB and Marissa (alllll the way from her fabulous vacation) came through and when a hero comes along…you know the rest! Enjoy the show. #like #share #comment

Monday Morning Ramblings aka Add coffee, season with Adderall.

Take a walk in Tai’s shoes and hear the madness of me before coffee. The ramble was so real. You can skip this one or go ahead and listen. I have not listened back, but I know for sure I said House of Blood instead of House of Dragon. Sigh. This is NOT a recap episode.

Njoy, House of NuhYah, Drinker of Wine

I decided that we needed to talk about House of the Dragon (which I kept calling House of Blood)! This is not a spoiler episode because in order to have a real spoiler episode, I'd have to know that the hell I'm talking about. This is an easy to follow walkthrough that might make you binge the next first five episodes which I'm about to recap...you will be READY for episode 6, whenever that is up this week. I'm having fun getting this episode together, so I hope you enjoy listening. 

Sort of Timestamps:

Chaos (Maya & Leon's song plays for about a minute and then you will the transition and the show starts: two minutes in

The Episode: fifty minutes or so

transition

Chaos, the full song: like 2:15

I come back for a fourteen second spoiler to clean up my lies, I mean misconceptions.

Sweet Baby Jay Talkin' Sweet with Little Old Me

Sweet Baby Jay Talkin' Sweet with Little Old Me

This is the story of a man, his podcast and how I became involved with all the things. This is one of my archive recordings, that I held back to edit and we all know what happens when I do that. Please welcome to the show...one of my favorite podcasters. What makes Jay awesome (aside from his work on Talkin' Sweet with Sweet Baby Jay) is that he recognized a powerhouse, a rising star, a media sensation (I'm talkin' about ME) and relentlessly pursued me to be on his podcast and essentially propelled me toward me own. I appreciate him putting up with all my procrastination and excuses. I also know that I can count him as a mentor, peer and friend. Please check out his podcast and definitely be sure to check out my big debut: Episode 56: Teachers Gonna Teach...(12/24/2020).


By the way, I DID finally use my record player. It's still on the dining room table, but baby steps.

Shhhhhhh Quitting & Shhhhhh Firing

Shhhhhhh Quitting & Shhhhhh Firing

Guys, I finally somewhat figured how to add the original song my daughter and son-in-law recorded for me. That was not the point of the episode, but I think we’ve figured out that “the point” is never the focus of this madness. On this episode, I touch on toxic positivity, quiet quitting and quiet firing. You also get to hear my guest host, Steebie Velez. I appreciate you for listening.

Dave C. and Things (A Phone Chat with Ruth)

Some time ago, I tried to chat with my friend, Ruth. This was part of my ongoing attempt to have friends on the pod. I keep running into technical issues, and I might learn a thing or two about editing IF I listen to this on a platform other than my living room speakers. 

Enjoy. Check out Ruth on her Tiktok or YouTube channel, diaryofamadblackteacher. 

Please don't pardon me for a scratchy ass phone conversation. Read me for filth, I need to LEARN, y'all!! 

Is it too soon to say rate and share?


Probably.

Too Many Tabs Part 2

Too Many Tabs Part 2

Ummm episode notes...so I recorded this on 2/27 and gave you the old "be right back" and here we are, a smooth month later. This is the concise continuation of my Too Many Tabs from 2/7. Anchor offered me two new features: background music and an ad. I don't know much about how either will impact my episode, but for shits and giggles, I added the music and agreed to the ad. I can't hear the ad before I agree, so if it's not me, it likely won't happen again. Please enjoy this episode, and feel free to leave me a message. Don't forget, if you'd like to be part of an episode (can I call these EPISODES?) do not hesitate to reach out to me. Who knows? Maybe I can do better than an episode here and there. 

Thanks for your patience while I figure all the things out:)

Too Many Tabs

Too Many Tabs

Listener Note (added 2/8@10:27) When I played this episode back, I heard an error. I said "I didn't thought" instead of "I didn't think", trust me, I know the difference. I was not really sure how to edit that out without a mess and I sure was not rerecording. Also, I've had listener questions, so I will be adding a Part 2. 

ShaBANG! I'm here with Episode 2. Did I edit it? You tell me. Thank you to everyone who listened to and shared Episode 1. Please continue to offer your feedback. I made one or two silly errors this episode. I think I was speaking quickly, but that's where my spirit was, so I let it do what it do. If you'd like to offer feedback, suggest a topic, or even be a guest, just let me know. Email me at enjoythebalanceofyourday@gmail.com. 

I appreciate you!

After many years of struggling with anemia and other near vampire-esque health ailments, I finally went under the knife to remove Gremlin from my body. If you are anything like me, you need more than that, so this is a candid conversation about my December 2021 hysterectomy. This is the maiden episode of Enjoy the Balance Of Your Day, please join me as I discuss things and THANGS impacting our lives yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

I'm your host, Njoy, and I'm looking forward to this journey.
