We Finally Saw Our Wedding Venue
Wedding In Seattle
This past weekend we were in Seattle for my cousin's wedding. It was an amazing time. I saw all my family whom I haven't seen in years. I had a Pumpkin Spice Latte for the first time and it gave me the bubble guts. Went to the Space Needle and discovered I am more scared of heights than I realized.
My Biggest Fear
This was supposed to be released last weekend but I completely forgot. Anyway, I discuss my biggest fear, my struggles of being a lukewarm Christian and how I want to improve with my faith.
High Raised Trucks & LED Lights
Why are Maryland drivers the most annoying and dangerous drivers to deal with in the US? They irritate me on my commute to and from work.
Addicted to Pain
Went overboard with preworkout and it effected me in a negative way. It brought out questions that I would normally brush off
My Fiancé Left Me
Unfortunately, my fiancé left me last Wednesday to go to Morning Show Boot Camp. During those 3 days, I had time to reflect and battle my inner thoughts. I didn't win all those battles but I come back stronger.
Turning 30: Drake Edition
I spent my 30th birthday out in Washington D.C., where we ate, relaxed at the hotel bar, watched movies in the room, and went to Drake's concert. Also, I discuss my top 5 Drake songs.
Barbenheimer Weekend
Been stressing about my job lately. That's why you're getting all these episodes at once because I finally got out of my head. I talk about my struggles with my caffeine intake along with intermittent fasting (02:28). Job Struggles (03:33). Battling with my faith but is my lack of faith the cause of fear and anxiety? (06:37) Outside social media validation (08:17). Barbenheimer weekend (10:50). Barbie Review (12:18). Oppenheimer (16:26).
Plus One Dilemma: Am I Crazy?
I'm addressing it now. If you don't have a plus one on your invitation, don't ask. That's the final answer (01:48). I saw the Sound of Freedom (03:00) and Mission Impossible 7 (04:33). Kramer and Jess masturbation topic (05:59). Am I Crazy? (08:20). Cold Shower talk again? Come on, man (10:56). Two songs of the week (13:18).
Maryland Emissions Test
Had no clue that in the state of Maryland, you had to have an emissions test every two years. I ended up having to pay a hefty fine, after I thought I was only going to pay $15. I always learn the hard way. On a lighter note, I discuss my Taylor Swift top 5 "worst" songs (11:07).
Pink Himalayan Salt Water Cleanse
Been slacking on my morning routine and it put me in a bit of funk. So I'm trying to get back to where I started. I tried a Pink Himalayan Salt cleanse and boy did it cleanse the hell outta me (03:38). I binged season 2 of the critically acclaimed Hulu TV show, The Bear with spoilers (09:07). If you want to avoid spoilers, click the timestamp (18:41) to jump to my two underrated R&B songs of the 2000s.
Gracie's Awards, Fast X, and Usher.
My fiancé won a Gracie Award, which is highly coveted in Women's media. I watched Fast X and it was not good. Also, I reveal my top 5 Usher songs.
Coffee Anxiety vs. Gerald: A Battle of the Ages
For some people, coffee gives them the runs like a mudslide. For me, I get anxious, especially when I start to come down from the caffeinated high. Being the stubborn man that I am, I still drink it because I want to put my mental toughness to the test. Who will win? Me or the anxiety? Tune in. Also, I would like to officially announce that 2 songs a week will be returning. I am starting to remember why I started this podcast, to have fun doing something that makes me uncomfortable.
Chris Brown: My Top 5 Songs
Chris Brown has too many songs. Narrowing it down wasn’t that hard but damn man, chill on the 30+ song albums.
Garage Boy the Movie Reviewer?
I’m back and hopefully better. Been kinda busy but I’m here. We went to NYC for my fiancé's birthday with some friends after an annoying problem to start the trip. After, I review both The Little Mermaid (05:05) and Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse (09:50).
The Taylor Swift Experience
I had engagement photos last weekend, which were fun. (4:29) Also, I went to a Taylor Swift concert with my fiancé. Honestly, it was one of the great experiences I had at a concert. Simply, amazing.
Year 30 is Eclipsing and it Hurts
I'm reflecting on my almost 30 years of life with my engagement photos coming up. Back pain and finding the right mattress. Also migraines are occurring. What the heck is going?
Being opportunistic for once
I've decided that I'm going to take a chance on an opportunity that has a possibility of changing my life. I want to get rid of my eye bags, need more sleep, and look happier than I appear.
Roadside Assistance from Hell
Last Friday, I had the worst tow truck experience. All this happened because I got a flat tire. Let my struggle be an example, always check if your vehicle has a spare tire. I didn't, I assumed vehicles still had spare tires as stock. Don't be like me, be better.
Last Name
20/20 Experience Therapy
Finally found a doctor and a therapist. Never thought I would go to one but I am curious about the experience. Speaking of experience, remember Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience? Yeah? I talk about that album and what it did for me.
SZA sucks, Philly doesn’t
East Coast, where did all the Jack in the Boxes go?
Share my frustration with Jack in the Box only being in limited areas on the East Coast. Caffeine makes me anxious and it made realize that I still have some more internal issues to deal with.
Faith
Plus One
So anyways, back to bad memories
Why do we tend to focus on our negative memories? Is pain so traumatizing that it forces you to remember the emotion you felt in that moment? Why did the Jedi say it was bad to use our anger?

Why is social anxiety so hard to overcome?
I find my social anxiety frustrating and I want to figure out ways to overcome it

First YouTube video Podcast Episode
I recorded my first YouTube Podcast episode because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. It was definitely uncomfortable since I don't like the idea of speaking into camera and putting myself out there for the world to see. I also speak about my fiancé's surgery which turned out to be a miracle and how that impacted me emotionally.

A possibly haunted hotel with a snow storm. *(Remix) due to technical difficulties.*
Due to technical difficulties I had repost the episode because some parts were cut out. We went to Philadelphia and I think we stayed in a haunted hotel this past weekend, possibly. Ran into a snow storm that caused me to miss work for two days but the problem was I didn't have the right number to contact my supervisor. Yikes. Once I talk about random things. From Lord of the Rings to sex, the Jared Goff- Matthew Stafford trade, Super Bowl prediction, accepting your insecurities, and the song of the week.
