Just a young dude trying to navigate this post-graduation life with thoughts and questions that won&#39;t ever get answered or talked about, so why not talk and ask them anyway?

We are back with a new episode! We welcome a triple threat of an artist and discuss what it means to follow your gut, understand the kind of art you want to make, and how having a one year can change how you approach art. And how could we not have a conversation about food, you also get to hear my thoughts on the Raising Cane&#39;s vs Zaxby&#39;s debate!

WE ARE SO BACK!!! No lie it took a movie like this to move me in a way that felt like the podcast needed to come back! Go watch the movie…like NOW!!!!

Good people….its been a minute I know. But here’s a little update of where I’ve been and a good way to kickstart the podcast back into the swing of things!!! Make sure to lead with love!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?!?

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/5/6/4/c79e71ea-7e74-41d8-b969-41396c161be3_audio1436342687.m4a

What&#39;s going on good people? I know it has been a while, but after seeing Michael I knew I had to jump back on the podcast...we can talk about why I&#39;ve been gone later. Let&#39;s welcome our first return guest, Derrick Jones Jr and let&#39;s welcome a first timer, Dimitri Dewes Jr!!! Both actors and Michael Jackson experts...don&#39;t just take my word for it, listen to the podcast and you&#39;ll see why. Make sure to subscribe to Dimitri&#39;s YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@misterdjaymdj?si=-7e5aDOFzCIQ9BzGYoutube: @misterdjayI loved the Michael movie, now did it have a few moments I wished were better or wish they included other moments? For sure. But I think it is perfectly fine to love something and understand how it could be better. I&#39;m not a fan of everyone picking it apart...like you didn&#39;t find anything you liked? You just ran to hit record and talk trash? Oh, ok.

THE Michael Jackson Episode

This was a review I wanted to do a while back, but I’m actually glad I waited this long. Let it settle, and I also saw that it was coming to HBOMax, by the time you hear this it will probably already be there but still. I’m a big fan of The Rock, and this performance solidified that.

Yes, this is a few weeks after the new year, and yes the last episode was like a month ago, and yes…well I don’t know what else but still. Let’s continue pushing with the new year. Take care of yourself and the person you’re becoming!

2025 has been an up year for me, even when something rocks me and makes me feel like nothing is going right. It’s important to put things in perspective, be excited for the new year, and also complain about how the NFL needs to leave Christmas for the NBA. Happy New Year!!!

I know I know…I’ve been M.I.A…but I’m back!!! So a little update on what’s been going on and how I like to view the idea of “hard work”

Where You Been/What Is Hard Work

This week we welcome Michael O&#39;Hara, a NYC based photographer. He has done shoots for countless brands including Vogue! This was a fruitful conversation with discussions about how his inspiration from Mark Hunter grew into the career he has and how his father put the first camera in Michael&#39;s hands. Other topics include finding inspiration, how to work with models, and how you just have to put yourself out there even if that means sending an unmeasurable amount of emails! Be sure to stay up to date with Michael&#39;s shoots and even check out his Parfums!

This week we talk about how important it is to speak out loud what you want and how that does make a difference. If you think it, you say it, you do it. Probably the easiest way I can break it down. And now I guess I&#39;m a director?!?!?!?

Speak What You Want Into Existence...Also, Directing?!?!?!

Up there for most important episode of all time, let&#39;s have a French Fry debate

Superior French Fry?

NBA season is two months away and I just want a good product. I question what the league wants and what it’s looking for from the fans and how it’s giving back to them. Very random episode but just some quick fire thoughts. Drink water and do something you enjoy!

Random NBA Rant

I’m a simple guy with simple needs, but for some reason when you ask for small changes to your order at a restaurant they seem to malfunction and not understand what’s being asked. Just listen to the pain and agony that seem to sink claws into me.

It’s Not That Hard…I’m So Serious

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2025/8/21/19/c5774399-7206-42f6-9204-8e407ad186d6_bojangles_in_nyc_.m4a

I’m not sure how excited I am for Bojangles to come to NYC. Even though I’m like a Wine Sommelier but with Sweet Tea, we’ll see how it goes. Apartment search is complete and I’ve gotten a recent callback! Fun stuff to say the least…and per usual, enough randomness to make someone with OCD pass out.

This episode I talk about seeing Clipse in person and how invigorating that was for me along with their new album. I break down some of their lyrics and talk about how longevity is important and even how I believe they have sustained that longevity. Seeing them in person and hearing this album lets me know that the term &#34;getting better with age&#34; is legit. It&#39;s about conintuing to push towards the thing that is calling you. This is an all time album and I&#39;m not saying this because of recency bias, honestly that&#39;s why I waited a month to talk about it on the podcast. Per usual do something that will be good for you and enjoy yourself!

In this episode I point out what makes this movie so good and how comedy movies might be back. The idea how comedy movies need to have a good story and then everything else should be layered. Also a big thing that makes movies/tv good is that everyone involved knows what story they are trying to make and within what world. Once again make sure to breathe, do something that makes you happy, AND GO SEE THE FILM!!!

On this episode I break down my general diet and try to give some tips on how to manage dieting. Too many people on social media trying to overwhelm everyone. Simply find foods you like to eat that are healthy and build off of that. Getting protein isn’t hard, I take you through a whole day of eating if I was perfect (TRUST IM NOT). You got this, do ya thing.

Dieting Is Simple…Not Easy

This week we welcome Ihea Inyama! Living in NYC by way of New Jersey and Connecticut, so it only made sense that he moved to NYC to complete the trifecta. This episode we talk about how the breadcrumbs are always there in life and it&#39;s only when you say yes to the thing that stuff starts to change, the idea of creating your own work, and how crowd work might actually be important to the nature of standup! Other topics include how grandmothers can be and what the perfect plantain is like. You can catch Ihea doing standup weekly across the city, make sure to follow him on Instagram to keep up with his work: @Ihea_InyamaEvery second Monday at UCB you can catch his sketch group performing!
