  • Just Be Yourself. w/ Justin Tsimbidis

    Justin Tsimbidis was born with Progeria, which is a progressive genetic disorder that causes one to age rapidly. The life expectancy for most people with this disease is 13 years old... Well, Justin is 28 years old and is living his best life. in 2009, Justin went viral on YouTube under the name of "Tsimfuckis", but due to personal reasons ended up deleting his channel. After disappearing from the internet for over 10 years, many people thought Justin had died.. Well, Justin is back from the grave, and enjoys creating dope content/staying true to himself. I really enjoyed talking Madden, Funko Pops, wrestling, YouTube, and more.

There were high moments, and plenty of low moments… Thank you Doug for letting us into your life and journey across the CDT.

  • conversation with (the underrated) yung sum
    20 year old, Mikey Rodriguez, professionally known as "yung sum", has been creating his own unique sound for years now. His musical style ranges from Alt pop, EDM, and a bit of Hip-Hop. yung sum's raw ability to convey struggle and real emotion is what drew me to his music. I️ feel less alone and more understood through his music.
    What I️ appreciate about yung is how open and honest he is about his life/music career. He has had his low points, and even considered quitting music all together. But, let's be honest, this dude has something special. Thanks for being you and keep doing what makes you happy!

  • Joey Valance Hates Grape Flavor.

    This dude is something else.. "Longtime multi-genre producer, vocalist and DJ, Joey Valence, is bringing back and modernizing the traditional Hip Hop sounds of the 80s and 90s in a way that's never been done before.”-Spotify. Let me tell ya, I couldn’t agree more. I’ve never heard a sound like his in today’s music scene.. I truly think Joey Valance has a special talent, and it will be interesting to see where he takes it. I️ expect some dope music from you and Brae I️n the near future! Thanks for helping the world understand why grape flavor I️s a menace to society. Oh, and so glad we were able to bond over Pokémon.

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.
