Welcome to Hey Now Let’s Chase It – where comedy, culture, and real talk collide. Hosted by Day Smith aka @MrHeyNowandEJ with his Chihuahuas EJ & Bear, and co-hosted by celeb trainer Madison Chase (MC), this podcast delivers weekly doses of laughter, love, and life’s realest moments.
Meet Your Hosts
@MrHeyNowandEJ and Bear (Day Smith) A soulful, crybaby Cancer and self-declared “poster child for failed relationships” (he says it only takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to fall in love). Day went viral when his Chihuahua, EJ (Edna Jean, named after his mom), scratched his back on cue on Oprah’s platform. Now with 4M+ followers, Bear (EJ’s fur daddy), and his van “Georgia” (named after his grandmother), Day has traveled to every U.S. state except Alaska and Hawaii—chasing peace, purpose, and maybe a Leo who won’t break his heart.
@MadisonChaseFitnessInc (Madison S. Chase) MC is the world’s only 3X Miss Fitness Champion, a fierce Leo Queen, and celebrity trainer to Robert Pattinson (Twilight, Batman), Chris Tucker (Rush Hour, Nike’s Air), and Amber Riley (Glee, DWTS). She’s appeared in 450+ fitness videos and interviewed icons like Viola Davis, The Rock, Richard Branson, and Emma Stone. She brings fire, fun, and fearless clarity to every convo.
