  • Conversation With @jjohmar
    Utah County's, "jjohmar" (John Burg and Omar Campos) are creating hilarious content that draws inspiration from Kyle (legendary interviewer) and Steve (legendary Tik Toker). John and Omar take us back to their roots and share how they joined forces to create jjohmar. We discuss awkward moments, weird Utah culture, and goals for the future. One thing I admire about them is that they truly don't care what others think about them. I believe what John and Omar have is special, and I can't wait to see where jjohmar takes them. Thanks again.

  • The ART of Keeping One's Attention w/ Josh Boucicaut

    Gas Station owner, Josh Boucicaut may have found a sure-proof way to keep our goldfish-sized attention spans... Josh started filming his masterpieces during the pandemic, and he hasn't looked back since. He is highly skilled at the saxophone, very creative, and just a dope/genuine dude. Thanks again for joining me, Josh. I look forward to more videos, beats, and good energy.


    You haven't witnessed Josh's masterpieces? Enjoy. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdmC9PtF/

  • Nice as Heck w/ Cam Daly

    This week, Cam Daly blesses us with the story behind the dope clothing brand, Nice as Heck. Cam started this company alongside his two best friends from high school (2016). I'm hesitant to even call Nice as Heck a clothing brand because I believe it's much more than that... Their website states it best, "we are shaping the next generation of outdoor apparel by incorporating sustainable practices, fair pricing, and by spreading awareness to current global issues." They are especially, "compelled by community, no matter the form. If you enjoy something, do it more and make it your life. We aren’t any different from you, we have just found something we like to do and haven’t stopped. We value individual expression and believe everyone’s voice deserves to be heard." Thanks again Cam for sharing your story, being real, and giving us some honest business advice. Take it easy bro!

  • Life With Dwarfism. w/ Wildine Aumoithe

    Wildine Aumoithe was born with a rare type of dwarfism (Saddan Dysplasia), but that hasn't stopped her from living her best life. Wildine's smile is infectious, and her perspective on life is inspiring. Not to mention, She's the World's Shortest Female (non-mobile)! Thanks again for joining me, and I can't wait to see where life takes you!

  • Body Positivity, Queer Experience, and Chronic Illness w/ Logan

    Logan and I explore their journey with chronic illness and coming out as nonbinary/genderqueer. Logan knew they were gay from a young age, but never felt like they could be their true self because of their conservative upbringing. Logan is shining a light for those with chronic illness by embracing the body they have been given. I'm in awe of Logan's resilience to keep moving forward despite such an unfair life. We also discuss frustrations concerning social media and their discriminatory behavior toward disabled bodies. Thanks again for joining me, and I'll be on the lookout for rice cake and pear-shaped glasses!

  • GETTING THE "ICK"! w/ Aubrey

    Aubrey and I read the internet's most infamous "ick" stories. Don't know what ick means? Let's let reliable Urban Dictionary define it. Ick is, "Something someone does that is an instant turn-off for you, making you instantly hate the idea of being with them romantically."

  • FASHION 4 ALL w/ Laura Wagner Meyer
    23 year old, Laura Wagner Meyer, was born with a Congenital Neural Tube Defect. This disability severely curves one's spine, forcing them to use crutches to get around. Laura is a fashion model and a light to those around her! She is powerful, beautiful, graceful, ambitious, and authentically herself. She has never let her disability limit her from doing what she wants to do! Growing up, Laura started noticing clothes didn't fit her properly because of her disability... Which is why she is developing a fashion brand specifically catered to those with disabilities/different body types. <3

  • Making the Most of Your Situation w/ Hal Walker (banakula)

    Hal Walker has been living with a mystery illness since 1992 called Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The funny thing about ME/CFS is that some days it'll allow one to live a sort of normal life, but at any point, this crazy illness can leave you bed ridden/unable to function... Other severe symptoms include: being unable to stand unassisted, get restful sleep, or even eat solid food. 

    Hal is a singer, songwriter, musical explorer, multi-instrumentalist, and has developed the modern version of a traditional African instrument called a "Banakula". Since 2021, his illness has left him unable to care for himself anymore... Hal does what he can (with what little energy he has) by sharing his talents on social media. Over the past year, Tik Tok reignited his music career with 1.6 million followers. 

    Please consider donating to Hal's GoFundMe to help pay for heavy medical expenses: https://linktr.ee/halwalker

  • Consistency is Key! w/ Aum Gandhi
    Aum Gandhi struggled with his mental health at an early age and started turning to food for comfort. Over time, Aum developed an unhealthy relationship with food, and at 18 his doctor told him he was pre diabetic.. From that point on, Aum decided to change his lifestyle. He started out small by running a quarter of a mile, and he almost threw up!.. Now, he is an ultra runner/endurance athlete and is gearing up to run 3  one-hundred mile races this year! Let's be clear, Aum's Journey wasn't linear! There were ups and downs, but he credit's "old fashioned" consistency to his success. Who would've thought?

About RICE CAKES AND PEARS

From the publisher's feed

What’s up, I’m Zach, and I was on a diet of rice and pears for 8 whole years! I have an incurable disease (Eosinophilic Esophagitis) that really isolated me from everyone else. For so long, I tried to fit in with those around me. Then one day, I realized my true identity... I am a weirdo.
