Qualified Immunity
Qualified Immunity seems to be a lot like that streaming service Quibi in that a lot of people are aware of it, but not many know what it is. I talk about its background, a Reuter’s study, and reference Eric McCormick (co-star of Will & Grace).

The Elkwood Forum
To those new to Elkwood, welcome! The Elkwood Forum had something for everyone. The keyword: had. This story is about a mall before and after the boom of online shopping and a college graduate coming home in a less than optimistic economy. Please excuse my terrible southern accent.

Tik Tok and Pegged
This week's piece is about TikTok. First off, what is it? Second, what's happening? For the main course, I read a short story that I've had in the vault for a bit. It's called "Pegged" and is about my journey to a show, recounting certain things and experiencing others along the way. There are a few variations of the word "peg" used.

Then for the reading, it was laundry day, which means it was laundry day a couple of days prior. I talk about the lack of discipline in that regard, some of the traits my parents gifted me, chewing big red, and more. Enjoy! Follow the podcast!

You Look So Hot Wearing That Mask
In 5th grade, my parents signed me up for cotillion. Here, hundreds of other 11-year olds and I learned the specific roles and disciplines of each utensil plate and glass. If I ever told my parents I enjoyed it, I can assure you that it was because I don’t like disappointing people. People would get denied because they came underdressed, I find a slight parallel with the people getting denied at grocery stores for not wearing masks. @heresmything_ @johnroussosss

400 (MMC #58)
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".

The Dark Knight Interrogation Scene
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!

Cardistry (MMC #57)
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.

Stealing
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

The Handshake
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
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.

Everyone, I elected to re-upload a classic today. The episode that I was planning on dropping wasn't ready so I decided not to force it - I really like the concept and want to work it out.

The Bachelor
I want to be able to say, "I'm baching it", but I'm not quite there yet. I'm in my twenties, single, I live alone and in an apartment, but I have no spoiled milk, no takeout Chinese food, or no half-eaten yogurt in my fridge. It seems to be a gradual learning curve.

Baggy, Black Cargo Pants
I'll admit it, the desire for these pants was influenced by Travis Scott. However, I let that desire marinate in a crockpot for about a year, only this past weekend pulling off the lid and confirming it was legit.

Iceberg Lettuce
Too easy to belittle. Besides the fact that there is no nutritional value, iceberg lettuce can't be found in the trendy juices that come in unlabeled cups from farmer's markets. But I've got a soft spot for it. I think iceberg lettuce is the tricycle with flames on the wheels, to the 16-speed Trek that is the vegetable world.

Everyone for this episode of the Monday Morning Commute I walk you through a bad date that I went on. I break it down in 4 acts: 1. The Match 2. Pre-Date 3. Date 4. Post-Date. The date itself really wasn't as bad as it was boring. The conversation was mainly about high school GPAs and ACT test scores. I understand it takes two to tango, so I'll take partial blame. I enjoyed the style for this episode with the different, "acts", I'd like to do it again so please, please hit me with feedback (which is always welcome btw). My...
