(00:00):
And a happy Friday friend to welcometo the Thought Shower. Intern John is
my name. It has been It'sbeen a week, boys and girls,
it has been a week. Souh to those who reached out, thank
you. I posted a photo yesterday. Had to go to the doctor.
So really since like last Friday,I thought I had food poisoning and uh,
(00:24):
without getting to too much detail,just the usual things that kind of
go with food poisoning is what Ithought I was having. And uh,
it wasn't great, and it gotworse and it got worse, and I
was finally like, ah, likeI would hate to go to a doctor
today and they tell me, oh, you have to go to this doctor
(00:46):
or vice versa. But with theshow's coming this weekend, I was like,
I probably should go and get checkedjust in case. Go to the
doctor. Got me some antibiotics,and uh, feeling okay so far last
night wasn't great. So far todaywe're doing it. So good news is
down five pounds, you know.There's that. There's that. Although I've
(01:08):
been drinking electrite water like out thewazoo because it's been not great. I
also got canker sores in my mouthbecause of it. So that's also another
thing right now where it's like talkingdoesn't feel good, which, given my
profession and given the comedy show tonight, you know, not the ideal thing
(01:30):
you'll want to have going forward.But we're making it. We're fine.
And my buddy Kevin landed last nightfrom Minnesota, which is very exciting.
He's helping out with like video andphotos for this weekend. I felt bad
because we're hanging out. Yesterday,like every twenty minutes, I had to
go run upstairs in the bathroom andI was like, hey, man,
I'm so sorry. Luckily he wasexhausted from travel, so I feel too,
(01:53):
too bad. But the goal todaynot feel sick, do the show,
have a great time. If you'recoming to the shows, make sure
you say hey. It's always likecool to know people who listen to podcast.
By the way, so first showis Friday tonight, seven pm,
doors six pm twenty one plus showunless you're with your own parent, and
(02:15):
then it's open seatings, so Iwould get there early. The other earlier
you get there, the better seeyou get. Then Saturday, first show
is at six. I think Iprobably should know this, hold on,
hold on, I should know thisyou're considering it's my show. I've been
talking about it for the whole time. But I also, just like I
(02:36):
speak in times, I know I'llbe there, do you know what I
mean? Where it's like, well, i'll be there by this time.
Hold on real quick. We're gonnaget a little check e checky tomorrow six
pm, eight thirty pm shows meetand greets after each show. So that's
cool too, if you want tosay hi, get a photo, whatever,
We do that after the show foranybody who wants to see it.
(02:57):
I'm excited for these shows. Yeah. I worked hard in this one,
and it had been a minute sinceI had motivation is not the right word,
but like a pretty big life eventto write around, and obviously going
through a breakup beginning of the year, there was a lot there. Having
to do it publicly made things evenworse, and so I kind of turned
(03:20):
to writing is my way to getthings out, you know, it's my
way to I don't know, cope, deal with it, whatever it may
be. And here we are fromscratch. So again tonight, cannot wait
to see you, or becoming Saturday, can't wait to see you. If
you don't have tickets Baltimore, Augustseventeenth. Interns you on comedy dot Com
(03:42):
want to get to this for yourFriday. The types of men who will
never grow up in a bad way. And by the way, going through
this list, I'm like, ohyeah, oh yeah, number one the
list the party addict. Yes,the guy wheels you around all the hottest
parties and there's new club whatever,he's there. It's fun being with this
(04:02):
guy is also exhausting. If he'salways partying up a storm, then sleeping
late next day, nurseying, hangover, and repeat. He needs a wake
up call. It's funny because Igot a lot of stuff coming this year,
obviously, with the comedy show inyou know, the hockey and the
restaurant opening, and like there's beensome friends who like want a party every
(04:24):
day. I'm like, hey,man, like I can't do that anymore,
and like not that I ever reallydid, but like there's too much
going on, so that to meis an odd thing. Like if you're
over like twenty two, and you'redoing this like every now and then maybe
once the weekend, it's fine,but like, how can you afford to
sacrifice your next day? You knowwhat I mean that to me is odd.
(04:45):
The thrill chaser. They say,some guys become addicted to the chase
in life. These thrill seekers lovethe early dating stages because it so butterflies
and adrenaline. And they say,sure it being around that makes you feel
like your heart's going somersaults, Butwhat the excitement? Whereas off they get
bored and bounce to the next funadventure. I could see this too,
even just in a sense of like, I don't know, like I always
(05:09):
drive under the speed limit, maybea under at the speed limit. I
think it's more so that's the awarenessof like I have a lot to lose,
you know what I mean? AndI think, I don't know.
This is just with the guys I'veseen the guys who are really really thrill
seekers all the time. It's likethere's no regard to the fact that something
bad could happen, you know whatI mean. That to me is a
(05:30):
little dangerous. Mama's boy, Well, yeah, kind of obvious there.
The eternal bachelor. Any guy whodates a lot but never gets to this
serious relationship is a huge red flag, especially if he's in his late thirties
or older. They say, youmight assume he's waiting for the right woman
to come along. He just mightbe a commitment fobe who never wants to
(05:51):
settle down with anyone. In otherwords, he's a wastier time. That's
probably true. I think everybody likesthe idea of being the one that like
get somebody to settle down. ButI do you think there's always that old
adage when somebody shows you who theyare, believe it, you know what
I mean. So if he showedyou that he's gonna be the bachelor forever,
(06:12):
that's probably a good sign. Goodsign to a walk away the video
game addict, no dude, especiallyYeah, this week college football has been
consuming my life. I take heedto this one. They say, whenever
you want to hang out, theguy's always stuck playing video games. He
can play for twelve hours a day, lose a sleepover. It totally zones
(06:33):
out, so he can't get hisattention even if you try. I'll say
this though, in defensive guys.For me, video games with my chance
to zone out and just kind oflike decompress the day, do you know
what I mean? Because it's likea mindless activity where I can really forget
all life problems, almost can likerest as well, so for me,
(06:57):
like I think video games can betherapeutics the word, but there it is.
The career hopper. Yeah, Iguess at some point, right they
say, any guy who jumps fromone job to another can't seem to hold
down. Any career is plagued byissues. Maybe he keeps engaging activities to
getting fired, or he's always fightingwith coworkers, whatever the cause, it's
a lot drama that points to alack of emotional maturity. By the way,
(07:21):
dude, my mouth is killing me. I had to pause for a
second. Sorry, and I'm sorrythis is horrendous to listen to, but
it is. It's not great.Tonight's gonna be interested. If I'm being
completely honest, tonight it's gonna beinterested. Uh My plans to do the
show obviously, the morning show andthen basically not talk from ten am to
(07:42):
I don't know, seven thirty tonight, but it's gonna be gonna be a
challenge. The last one I'll dois the joker. A guy that makes
you laugh is great, but it'snot cool that it's all he ever wants
to do. Okay, no matterwhat you're talking about, he's always easy
cracker, joker say something witty,they say that makes it impossible for a
serious conversation. I think that's true. I had a coach once tell me
(08:03):
you can't be the joker all thetime because like the metaphors, like if
somebody's trying to get better at somethingand you tickle them during the bench press,
they're gonna drop the bar on theirhead and that's not what you want.
I think that's fair. I thinkthat's it's good to be lighthearted,
it's good to joke, but likeyou need somebody that you know, when
things hit the fan, you canhave an actual conversation with. They can
(08:24):
be there for you and be theshoulder of the cry on and not try
to get the joke out of you. Completely agree. I appreciate you listening.
I hope to see this weekend.It's thash Ower
