Be Now
Leaders in the self-help space have officially exhausted the phrase: be in the moment , and now more often using: being present . It means the same thing, the only difference being the latter looks much better in cursive on a coffee mug. As far as I’m concerned, the over/under for a new moniker to get pushed by a group of influencers is 10 years. My prediction: be now, and I’m taking the under .

Nordstrom (MMC #66)
Nordstrom smells like someone spilled white wine everywhere, and instead of addressing the spill with vinegar or some sort of cleaning solution, they just laced the entire building with perfume.

The Résumé (MMC #65)
This is a story about a young man getting too meticulous when highlighting work experience on his résumé. There's a Quasimoto (Klay Field) and Madlib (myself) vibe here that I didn't recognize until I was editing the episode. At first, I was planning on getting someone to interview me, but not sure if I wanted a radio, reporter, or normal voice. I tried to manipulate my voice to be more feminine (I was going off a tutorial online). Instead, I got this Lord Quas-ish pitch, and very glad I did. "Y...

The Delicatessen (MMC #64)
I've been watching a lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm clips lately, oddly enough I walked into a deli the other day and sat in between what looked and felt like 4 Larry David cosplays. We enjoyed good conversation, I did most of the listening. Also had a good bagel while I was there too. Follow the podcast! Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me!

Electric Scooters (8/17/18)
I think this is one of the more timeless episodes of the podcast. Here's the original description: Electric scooters have seemed to assume the main transporting duties in Portland and I'm all about it - they are unbelievably fun. I was thinking about possibly getting into biking to work to help shed some lbs, but with these new scooters, I struggle to see that happening. Maybe I can trick my body into thinking I'm biking?

Reality TV (MMC #63)
I have started watching the show Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020. It's fantastic. American reality TV has taught me that you need yelling, screaming, crying, fighting, dramatic cuts and zoom-ins, big personalities sex, yelling and screaming to make for intriguing television. But this Japanese program has shown me that reality TV doesn't need all of that. This show is almost the exact opposite of the Jersey Shore, but I have now binged both with similar levels of excitement. Follow the podcast! In...

You've seen DJ Khaled try to sell 11-year-olds them through SnapChat. Maybe even on the feet of a UNC recruit pregame at an AAU tournament.

Please Call Me (4/5/19)
Still under the weather and now I'm congested, so the sick/attractive voice is gone. With nothing to flaunt, I decided to re-upload an episode that I think is timely considering school is back in session. This episode is about getting donation calls from your alma mater.

The Bloody Mary (4/26/19)
I'm under the weather. Sweaty and the whole sore throat deal. Now the sore throat means my voice is scratchy, and the scratchy voice is the sick voice, and the sick voice is also universally recognize as an attractive voice. As much as I want to flaunt that, it hurts to talk, so I decided to to go back to the episode about one of the most iconic beverages in history. Enjoy! Follow the podcast!

"Her" Sex Scene (MMC #60)
I recently got a Google Home Mini. The more I use it the more I am reminded of the sex scene from the movie "Her".

Sunglasses
I bought 2 pairs of sunglasses the other day. I got 2 because I took a risk with one, the second being the back up if I can't pull off the 1st.

400 (MMC #58)
This episode is the 400th of the Here's My Thing podcast. With that, I think it's a perfect opportunity to do a YG episode, as his brand is "4Hunnid". YG is one of my favorite artists. Brilliant, pop culture icon, sex symbol, inspirational. All words that I would use to describe him. The episode is made up of compliments of YG, a fantasy that I have constructed about him, a short story about listening to his album Still Brazy, a breakdown of his song Who Shot Me, and my thoughts on being a "fan"...

The Dark Knight Interrogation Scene
This is my favorite movie scene of all time. The more I watch it, the more subtle nuances unearth themselves. As dark and twisted as the Joker is, his words during this scene are almost paternal , beautiful , and the most genuine words that the Batman hears all movie. Follow the podcast!
