Reality TV (MMC #63) from 2019-09-16T11:00

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 ...

Slides from 2019-09-13T10:39:28

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. But most likely you have seen the Gucci version flexed...

The Chonga Bagel from 2019-09-11T11:00

This is the first ever episode with a schedule guest. A great guest at that! Nora Hernandez is the Showroom Manager at Roche Bobois Portland (a French retailer of high-end furniture). During our...

Please Call Me (4/5/19) from 2019-08-30T11:00

The Bloody Mary (4/26/19) from 2019-08-28T11:00

"Her" Sex Scene (MMC #60) from 2019-08-26T12:16:32

Sunglasses from 2019-08-21T11:00

400 (MMC #58) from 2019-08-12T11:46:09

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...

The Dark Knight Interrogation Scene from 2019-08-09T11:00

Monday Morning Commute #38 (2/25/19) from 2019-07-29T13:00

The last of the three time capsules is quite possibly my personal favorite Monday Morning Commute. It's got peanut M&Ms, the PBR of Maine, a documentary, and a hipster on a boat.

Black Ice from 2019-07-23T14:43:24

Black Ice is the official car scent of the lifted Toyota Tacoma and Mazda-3 hatchback. I'd also guess the probable fragrance of Blink-182's tour bus. It's timeless.

Mason Jars from 2018-10-02T13:00

Apparently, the only way to drink anything nowadays is through a mason jar. How did this come to be? I am assuming a picture on Tumblr blew it up, but that may just be me.

For this episode of the Monday Morning Commute, I quickly discuss my Red Lobster experience only to transition to the most indulgent weekend of my life. We then dive into the meat of the podcast......

Goodbyes On The Phone from 2018-09-30T17:06:31

Have goodbyes on the phone become awkward? Or scripted? or force? I think all of the above.

It's Called Advertising from 2018-09-29T15:00

Do you advertise on bus benches to actually help grow your business? Or do you advertise on bus benches, to say that you advertise on bus benches?

Red Lobster from 2018-09-28T13:00

I'm going to the Red Lobster for the first time in my life. Honestly, I genuinely don't really know what to expect. Very, very excited.

City Hall from 2018-09-26T13:00

Has anyone ever been inside city hall? I don't think I have ever seen the inside of city hall. Movies have taught me that city halls are big deals, but that hasn't been the case for me. It is such ...

Tin Foil from 2018-09-25T13:00

The 8th Wonder of the World. Tin Foil plays by it's own set of rules.

Monday Morning Commute #17 from 2018-09-24T13:00

I would like it if we could somehow make the summer-to-fall transition abrupt - go from 80 and sunny to 55 and nippy - instead of this gradual shift into place. Pumpkin spiced lattes (PSL) are over...

3 People, 1 Sauna from 2018-09-23T18:42:31

I found myself alone in a sauna with a lawyer and someone covered head-to-toe in tattoos. If I didn't know any better, I was on set of a Wes Anderson film.

Energy and the Gas Station from 2018-09-22T15:42:22

The energy the other night wasn't too good. Laying in my room, I looked around. Pile of clothes begging to be folded, my bed very much uninviting - things were off. I threw in the headphones, queue...

A Mellow Rant About Printers from 2018-09-21T13:00

A mellow (I'd like to think melodic) rant about printers. Don't know how much longer they will be around, but I appreciate them. There was a time where the amount of revenue your company brought in...

The Shower to Bed Transition from 2018-09-20T13:00

If you dont know, now you do.

The Vitamin Shoppe from 2018-09-19T13:00

I never knew that The Vitamin Shoppe existed. I always thought that it assumed retail space when renters were looking for actual tenants. Turns out it is actually real, as I found myself in one loo...

Dead Roses from 2018-09-18T13:00

We have some roses at my house, I think 12 of them. They died a few days ago. The head, the bud of the rose, dipped downward, all of them in the same direction. It was cool! The color of the petals...

Monday Morning Commute #16 from 2018-09-17T13:00

It had to be done. I went to the Big 4 of American fast food burger joints, tried each of their basic hamburgers, and then ranked them. Enjoy!

Umbrellas from 2018-09-16T15:00

There is a lack of appreciation for umbrellas. In PDX it seems that you are looked down on if you use an umbrella - I can't get behind that. Umbrellas keep me dry and prevent me from putting on a h...

Articles on How to be Productive from 2018-09-15T13:00

Articles on how to be productive are all the same. It's the same steps just shuffled around. Yet, I love to read them. I don't really apply any of the principles, but I feel super good about myself...

Fireplaces and Macbook Pros from 2018-09-14T13:00

There are 3 types of fireplaces. The ones that burn wood, the ones with fake wood and MacBook pros that show youtube videos of fireplaces. They are all different, but they all share a common trait:...

Hands of Character from 2018-09-13T13:00

I want to have callused hands without having to do manuel labor. Is there a cream for that?

Loveseats from 2018-09-12T13:00

Not a chair, not a sofa, but something in between... a loveseat. Spacious for one and it promotes cuddling. Questionably always worked in, but undeniably comfortable. Loveseats are fantastic.

Genius Lyrics from 2018-09-11T13:00

I love Genius. They bridge the gap between lyrical confusion and lyrical clarity. To put it bluntly, I very much appreciate that. The question now is, how do I get them to interpret my podcast?

Monday Morning Commute #15 from 2018-09-10T13:00

Wifi went out this weekend, went back to the same coffee shop 3 times before 12:00 PM, I give my take on why the BLT is very average, and I question whether or not a protein shake is a protein shak...

Everyone Needs a Finsta from 2018-09-09T17:59:38

Fake Instagram accounts. Do you have one? I feel that the ability to upload a random video of you acting out a scene from a show on the Lifetime channel and only allowing a few people to view it wh...

The NFL is Remarkably Uncompelling from 2018-09-08T18:00:20

This NFL season is remarkably uncompelling. Post as many videos of LBJ dancing or photos of Aaron Rodgers in a Canadian Tuxedo, I don't care, it's not going to make me buy into it anymore. I can't ...

Corduroy from 2018-09-07T13:00

I've neglected corduroy for a majority of my life... not sure why. I think corduroy is the elite fabric of fall, the dominant one in winter, and then it gets a little old in the spring. In this epi...

Get This Man a Briefcase from 2018-09-06T13:00

I think I'm going to invest in a briefcase. I gave away my tote bag and am having issues with my Columbia backpack and my need of somesort of bag is becoming apparent. Walking down the streets of P...

You've Got Food in Your Teeth from 2018-09-05T13:00

Accidentally got a Macklemore haircut from 2018-09-03T15:00

Bit of a mishap at the barbershop yesterday. Was going for a 1940s haircut style, but got more of a Macklemore haircut. I know what you're thinking, aren't they the same thing? Not really, I've alr...

How to be a Kicker in the NFL from 2018-09-02T15:00

There has never been a more clear-cut path to employment than becoming an NFL Kicker. The job itself is very, very challenging, but in terms of knowing what you have to do to get there it is pretty...

Brownie Batter from 2018-09-01T16:49:27

Brownie Batter is fantastic. It is caviar but at the same time is a cheap dessert. Brownie Batter plays the game very well. Plays hard to get to such an elite level, that it could get away with sen...

Island of Choice from 2018-08-31T13:00

Would you rather own a granite-top island in your kitchen, or your own actual island in the middle of the ocean? Seems pretty simple to me.

Gnocchi Talk from 2018-08-30T13:00

Chewy yet fluffy. Decadent and Lavish. Gnocchi. I think I just had Gnocchi for the first time. Why aren't we pushing Gnocchi more? It's fantastic. Is because it's not healthy? Is that the reason we...

Who Rings Doorbells? from 2018-08-29T13:00

Can't remember the last time I rang a doorbell. I forgot to take out my neighbor's trash while they were gone and got an aggressive knocking on my door when they got back from Spain. It really thre...

Social Media Trust Funds from 2018-08-28T13:00

Hampers, am I right? from 2018-08-26T15:00

Do you transport laundry fresh out the dryer in the same hamper that brought dirty clothes to the laundry room 2 hours prior? Why isn't this address more often?

Let it Percolate from 2018-08-25T15:00

The word "percolate" isn't used as much as it should be. It's a great word in my opinon. It's the modern day, "Chew it over with Twix," but with less caloires.

Is it Microwave-Safe? from 2018-08-24T13:00

Is everything microwave-safe now? If not, when will everything be? I feel like the question "is it microwave-safe" is the 2005 version of "is it vegan". I still think this question deserves a li...

I Found The One from 2018-08-22T13:00

I found the one. I found the hair product that I very well may spend the rest of my life with. I break down my entire hair product relationship history over the last 3-minutes of the episode. Enjoy!

Is Jamba Juice still a thing? from 2018-08-21T13:00

I was on my flight home the other day and the women next to me pulled out a Jamba Juice smoothie from her tote bag. Not sure how she kept it in her tote bag without spilling, but why she was rippin...

Monday Morning Commute #12 from 2018-08-20T13:00

Trader Joe's is amazing. Cheap, good vibes, for some reason always a little colder than most grocery stores (I'm not complaining) - I'm about it. I now live somewhat close to one and plan to transf...

Conveyor Belt Sushi from 2018-08-19T13:00

Popped into a conveyor belt sushi place and had a great casual conversation with an elderly woman and her daughter. I think it's safe to say when it comes down to average sushi, in my book, conveyo...

Fantasy Football Scoring is Flawed from 2018-08-18T13:00

Electric Scooters from 2018-08-17T13:00

Electric scooters have seemed to assumed 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...

Very Expensive Photoshoot from 2018-08-15T13:00

I got caught rolling through a red light a few weeks back. My ticket? $270. I always assumed that tickets went back to rebuilding or building up infastructure or something like that, but after this...

Chic, Sleek, Sexy. from 2018-08-14T13:00

Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey from 2018-08-11T15:00

The Best (Economy) Seat on the Airplane from 2018-08-10T13:00

I find it mind boggling that people who fly on commercial aircrafts and sit in economy, feel the need to sit at the front of the economy section. Why? That makes no sense. During this podcast, I ex...

Venmo Rant from 2018-08-09T13:00

This is a "prant" (a pleased rant) about Venmo. Special shout out to Elliot, Jake, Nori, and Scott for their thoughtful Venmos earlier this month. Everyone, I used to only think that Venmo was a on...

Pancakes vs Waffles from 2018-08-08T13:00

The "pancakes vs waffles" debate is one that doesn't garner that much attention for some reason. I am not sure why, as it truly brings a fantastic platform to engage in verbal warfare over a load o...

Thoughts on Penmanship from 2018-08-07T13:00

I used to think that if you had bad penmanship you weren't smart. That all changed in 5th grade when I was graced by the presence of a kid who held a pen like he held a football, but slayed every s...

Fundraisers... FUNdraisers from 2018-08-05T16:28:16

Fundraisers are fantastic. In my head when I hear fundraiser I actually hear "fun-da-raiser" - which is pretty fun in its own right. Nonetheless, there seems to be this weird rule where most fundra...

Microsoft Applications Rant from 2018-08-03T13:00

My Jean Jacket from 2018-08-02T13:00

Straws into Exile from 2018-08-01T13:00

I think it's great that we are reducing straw usage, but let's not forget that they were a revolutionary invention. With that, let's give true credit to the man who made it happen.

Grill Master from 2018-07-31T13:00

I always thought that the skills behind a Weber BBQ came once you had a couple of kids or put a down payment on a house. I can confidently say that's not the case. It takes legitimate practice and ...

Different Times, Different Dangers from 2018-07-28T15:00

Is this Recyclable? from 2018-07-27T13:39:43

Recycling has gotten too complicated for me recently. The other day I went to dispose of some stuff, but it took me 15-minutes to do so because there are so many different bins to put each item in....

A Dozen Bagels from 2018-07-26T13:39:12

What is a Butterfinger? from 2018-07-25T13:38:52

Why don't we ask this question more often? Millions of children across the US eat these in bulk every October 31st yet if this question pops up in Jeopardy, no one would have any clue as to what a ...

More Rooftop Decks, Please. from 2018-07-19T13:33:20

Here's my thing: there are a lot of roofs in Portland, yet only 6 rooftop decks. How does this ratio make sense? It's appauling to me that this isn't addressed more often.

Here's my thing: the Facebook data scandal was huge, but I think it was just a smoke bomb for the real crime... Facebook Memories. I don't like facebook memories in the slightest. They provide me w...

I Get The Bag from 2018-07-10T13:43:19

World Cup of Hair from 2018-06-28T13:34:10

French Fantasy from 2018-06-27T13:42:55

Here's my thing: fair warning, I do a terrible French accent towards the end. Rataouille is one of the greatest movies of all time.

Life Stats from 2018-06-21T13:46:12

Boujee Chips from 2018-06-14T14:01:47

Here's my thing: Sometimes the most expensive things in life aren't the best. Sometimes the cheaper item is better than the item 10x it in price. I had smoked gouda and garlic chips, and I know by ...

Here's my thing: I can remember walking into, what I thought was, my cousin's room to her cutting out celebrity pics in magazines. Why was she doing this? At the time I had no idea, but as time wen...
