Here's My Thing

I bought 2 pairs of sunglasses the other day. I got 2 because I took a risk with one, the second being the back up if I can't pull off the 1st. The buy not as much impulsive as an investment in personal growth.  Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me!

I've been thrift shopping since I got my drivers license. Each trip to a buffalo exchange or other store serving as a timely reminder for how my style has changed.    Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

I was driving Lyft and picked up a familiar face. But he was different.   Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

I've never been to the Grand Canyon, but I'd imagine the events and motives discussed in this episode are all too common during trips there. Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

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, pop culture icon, sex symbol, inspirational. All words that I would use to describe him. The episode is made up of compliments of YG, a fantasy that I have constructed about him, a short story about listening to his album Still Brazy, a breakdown of his song Who Shot Me, and my thoughts on being a "fan".  PSA: for the next 4 weeks, I'm only going to be uploading episodes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!  400 episodes. Wow. Thank you all for rocking with me! Until next time.  Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

This is my favorite movie scene of all time. The more I watch it, the more subtle nuances unearth themselves.  As dark and twisted as the Joker is, his words during this scene are almost paternal, beautiful, and the most genuine words that the Batman hears all movie.  Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me!

Everyone, in gearing up for episode 400 (released on Monday!) I have decided to reupload this installment again.  This one is a listener favorite, and the topic discussed is still one that I support.

I've bought airplane wifi, but I've also spent $11.50 on juice, purchased extra SuperLikes on Tinder, and paid $20 every 3-weeks, for 5-months for a buzzcut.   Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

I don't actually read the New York Times, I just try to look like I read it.   Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

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.   Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

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!!  -John  Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

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.  Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

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.   Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me!

This rerun takes us back to a very aggressive sales tactic and a very unknowledgeable buyer.  This is a fun one, enjoy!  Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me! Instagram: @johnroussosss Twitter: @johnroussosss

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!  Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me!

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.  

This episode is about a tattoo, but far deeper than that, it's about a relationship with an alley cat named Dustin.  The audio clip at the beginning is from the movie "Black Dynamite" - one of my favorites!   Follow the podcast!  Instagram: @heresmything_ Twitter: @heresmything_ Follow me!
