Written by: My unscripted reflections on how strange everyday normal life can be
Listen for free

Whenever something in life makes me tilt my head and ask, “What are you?”, I press record. What follows are short, lightly humorous observations about the strange quirks of us human beings. I share these entertaining, conversational, and at times oddly philosophical moments to keep you company day or night, whether you’re taking a walk, cooking dinner, sitting awake at 3 AM, or just looking for a friendly voice. Sorry, coffee not included.My unscripted reflections on how strange everyday normal life can be Social Sciences

  • Call Me Director Johnny, Please. I Graduated.
    Sep 23 2026

    I just completed my director's workshop, and now it's time to put this talent to work. I write a play called The Apartment You Left Behind and begin searching for an actor to direct. Somehow, no one is available, so I hire an AI actor named Chatty, who seems remarkably committed to the work. What happens next is our first rehearsal together. Please put your phones on silence (unless you are listening to this episode).


    MMM is about the simple things in my life that somehow become much more complicated than they have any business being. Who can't relate to that? I step up to the mic, armed with curiosity, a little humor, and usually a cup of strong coffee. I'm determined to understand why. Because somewhere in the "why", that's where we discover the good stuff.


    Who Listens to MMM


    Apparently…

    People who go out for a walk and come back with more thoughts than they left with

    People who notice abnormally normal, slightly absurd moments that the rest of the world misses

    People who forget how to speak until they’ve had their first cup of coffee

    People who are fellow late-night overthinkers, watching their 3 AM thoughts pull up a chair and say, "let's play"

    People who are tired of self-improvement lectures and just want comfort listening and a minute to breathe

    People who catch their reflection for a second and think, oh… there I am

    People who wake up at strange hours and suddenly need insomnia audio companionship for their questions about existence


    Also, possibly…

    People who wish they could walk around in life wearing a cloak of invisibility

    People who get distracted by squirrels or social media

    People who fake a headache to get out of obligatory moments


    And of course…

    Anyone who doesn’t see themselves anywhere on this list but somehow ended up at the MMM studio anyway

  • My First “Dear Donny” Email and the Reply That Keeps on Giving
    Sep 14 2026

    I received my first listener email, and I'm excited to read you the reply I wrote back! Being the open person that I am, I enjoyed sharing personal stories about New Year's Day in Paris, Mexican-style crêpes, and “the usual” order at my favorite café. Song (and no dance) included.

  • Aphantasia Is Not a Disney Princess
    Aug 30 2026

    I’m looking for some peace, mostly because the upstairs hamster mind party has gotten too loud. Somehow, that leads me to an unusual self-diagnosis, black-screen mind rooms, vivid dreams, and a craving for my favorite comfort food.
