This is the first ever episode of the Here's My Thing podcast where I'm not the only one talking. I was in the lobby of the Society Hotel and found a group of people doing what looked like shuffling cards. I thought it was interesting so I chatted with one of them alongside my friend, Jess. I hope you enjoy, I had a lot of fun putting it together.

Everyone! This episode is unscripted, basically addressing the new lids for to go cups at my local coffee shop, plans for the day, then potential direction for the podcast.  Thank you all for the support and love. I am very grateful!!

I think making rice on the stove top vs. in the rice cooker is an intimate experience. 

I stole 3 marbles in middle school because I heard kids in my class stole condoms from Rite Aid and I wanted in on a similar adrenaline rush. I didn't know what condoms looked like at the time, but I knew what marbles looked like. I thought about taking some in-house chopsticks home with me the other day. This triggered memories of my marble thievery.

I got a brown leather bag the other day. I like it a lot and honestly, I think I look good with it on. Some people have tried to get under my skin by calling it a purse, but I find it funny that they have no idea how big of a compliment that is.

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.

This rerun takes us back to a very aggressive sales tactic and a very unknowledgeable buyer.  This is a fun one, enjoy!

Everyone, I'm out of town (wedding in the Midwest) meaning I'm not in the studio that's in the studio apartment. For 7/25, 26, and 29 I've selected some of my favorites to upload during those days. We kick things off with a story about sharing an elevator with someone who vomited at an art museum. Enjoy!

The opening monologue is spoken over the song "Comment Allez Vous" by Blossom Dearie, and is my take on extremely firm handshakes.  The one I was referring to is something you'd find at networking events with over eager interns and conceited business professionals. The rest of the episode talks about the dying art of the handshake, and how I just recently had the best handshake of my life.  Enjoy!

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.
