Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a happy Friday friend. Welcome to the Thought Shower.
Intern John is my name, I got sneeze serv all right,
I think we're good anyway. Fresh off a very eventful
evening last night, Baltimore Magazine had their Best at Baltimore event.
(00:21):
Sauce and I were honored for our various awards. Sauce
one Radio Hosts of the Year, the podcast one Podcast
of the Year, was very exciting and never been to
the Hippojome in Baltimore, very cool venue, was very excited.
It was great, lot of great food, love of great drinks,
lou of great conversation, and then we grabbed like thirty
(00:44):
copies of the magazine because it has our names in it, Like, hey,
this is good for us to have conversation starters, certainly.
But it was awesome, huge thanks everybody who voted. It's
one of those things where it it's such a I
hate saying an honor because it sounds cliche, but it
is though our industry. It's very cool that this is
(01:07):
vowed on by you and the fact that we've won
the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's very exciting. So thank you so much. Tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Give me a busy well here's the thing I was
telling my parents, like, yesterday kind of kicked off a
marathon of stuff for us that I don't think they
quite realize yet. My dad for sure doesn't. So yesterday
we drove Baltimore best of aal toemar event was lovely,
got home probably around ten, went to bed like by
(01:40):
ten thirty, So guys, solid maybe four hours of sleep
because Chewie's been paying the ass the last couple of nights.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
There's that.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Tonight, we're going, first of all, dinner at Jimmy's Jimmy
Simiths Seafood, which is exciting because they're celebrating fifty years,
which is crazy. Love Jimmy's. They actually had like small
crab cakes yesterday, like a sampler size, and so freaking good.
Oh man, so good. We're doing Jimmy tonight, and then
(02:09):
we're going to the O's game, which I'm very excited
for the O's game because they're playing the Boston Red
Sox that was my dad's team. So we're doing dinner,
we're doing the O's game, and then I think we're
gonna try to do Elkram late night tonight for cigars
and a drink. So that's pretty packed today. Will all
of what happen, I don't know. I'm gonna be honest
(02:31):
with you because leaving Jimmy's is gonna be difficult because
Jimmy's is one of those places where you order the
whole menu, you do because it's so good. You got
the crab cakes, my personal favorite is the stuff lobster.
I'm getting my mouth's watering just talking about it. Plus
their dessert's fantastic. Then the game Yetta get food of
(02:52):
the game drinks there as well. And then on Saturday,
it's one of those rare days where I'll be in
the town of a comedy show and have a full
twenty four hours. So usually it depending on where the
show is. You know, if the show is Saturday, you know,
you fly in day before day of, but I'll have
(03:13):
a full, like twenty four hours. So on Saturday, I'm
kind of excited to sleep in hopefully, maybe go to
the aquarium, maybe go to the zoo. I'm feeling crazy.
And then Saturday we wrap up the tour, which is,
you know, crazy. I wasn't playing on doing shows this year,
you know, last year was kind of gonna be it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We had told the story.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
We had had the perfect ending with find You're happy,
you know kind of thought that I did, and then
things got turned upside down. So it's been a very
therapeutic couple of months. It's been very fun couple months.
I'm excited to see you. If you're coming too the show,
make sure you tell us if you listen to the podcast.
That's one of the coolest things. I think doors are
(03:56):
at six thirty. I believe show is at seven thirty
and so so it's gonna be a lot of fun.
The show is great. Last minute tickets Internsoncomedy dot com.
Let me get to this fear Friday. How to play
hard to Get, the right way and the easy way.
Playing hard to Get is interesting because I feel like, outwardly,
(04:19):
nobody's gonna say they're a thing.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Of playing hard to get.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Everybody's gonna say we don't like playing games, Please don't
play games. However, like when it comes down to it,
it feels like everybody likes it. When there's a bit
of a chase, you know, when someone's not giving you
all the attention, people seem to like it just a
little bit. Touring to the experts. Number one, decline a
(04:43):
date or two say it's important to know how the
person a dating. Your response he is saying no, try
it when they first offer coffee or drinks.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
What I'll say you this is that's fine.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
However, if you decline a date, you have to offer
a second one. That is, if I ask you out
to get drinks and you say I can't do this Friday,
you need to be like, Okay, I can't do this Friday.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What about you know Saturday.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That way, I know, as the asker at least you're interested,
because if you say no, then in my mind, I'm like, okay,
then do I Are they not interested or are they
just busy? Because I want to keep asking and make
things weird and be a pain, I need to know,
take some time to reply.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think that's kind of fair too.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's a hard line, right, because it's like, yeah, you
want to get the information as soon as possible. But
there is something too when somebody makes you wait just
a little bit, just a little bit to know the information,
that's a little bit better than like if they respond
instantly a little bit like ooh, nothing else going on,
you know. I like that cut conversation short. They say,
(06:00):
whether you're chatting be a text or on the phone.
It's always whise to cut chat short during the early stages.
You don't want to burn through all the things you
have to chat out, so those things become boring. Yeah,
I think it also just kind of leaves mystery that
kind of vibe to you. But I think that's fair.
If you're talking all the time, then by the time
you see each other in person, it's like, what do
(06:22):
we talk about?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Now? What do we do?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
This one's interesting mention. You've got plans. I don't disagree.
They say it's tempting to want to clear schedule for
a new person you're dating, but resist You want them
to You don't want them to think you got no
life in that you're so desperate to get in a
relationship you're putting your life on hold. I think that's fair.
(06:47):
I think that's more than fair. It's a little bit
difficult too.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I get the.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Idea though, of like when you're in a new relationship,
it's like you want to be around them all the time.
I also think it's important too, because you got to
keep your things, the thing to make you happy. You know,
your activities, your I don't know, friend commitments whatever it is,
I don't disagree with that. Also, two things important, just
to let them know, like, hey, I have a life
(07:13):
outside of whatever this is. I think that's one hundred
percent a huge thing. It's also attractive too, because I
know my schedule is really busy. And I've been in
like past past relationships where I felt like the person
I was with expecting me to be like their main
source of happiness. And I remember thinking like, yo, I'm
(07:36):
so busy, there's no way I can be that for you.
And also like I don't want to be that for
you because that's a lot of pressure on me, you know,
like for me to be that the perfect person and
like to be your your only source of happy, that's
a lot of pressure on me. Avoid giving too many
(07:58):
compliments a boy. They say, you might love their eyes,
their hair, how confident they are. No harm in telling them,
they say, it's also can come across as desperate or insincere.
Six The ones are most meaningful, they say. By holding
back on praise, you get to learn more about the
person instead of letting them know right away you like them.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That makes sense, I understand. Work the room on your own.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
This or me is a big thing because like when
we go to events and once my restaurant opens up,
Like I mean, I'm always kind of working. Being with
somebody who can work a room is a very attractive thing.
My last ex girlfriend, Molly was great at this, one
hundred percent great of this.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Everybody loved her. That was annoying.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I'm kidding, but that was a huge, a huge attracted boost.
Was like I knew that if I was at jingle ball,
or I was at a concert, or I was at
a comedy show that if I had to go and
talk to somebody or meet somebody, she was gone her own.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
She could go talk to people, be friendly of people.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's a very attractive trait to have because I've been
past relationships prior to that where it felt like, oh shoot,
I have to go interview this person. I can't leave
so and so alone for too long because they'll kind
of fold. Whereas a Mally is like that girl can
talk to anybody. Everybody wants to talk to her. That's
(09:29):
a huge, huge bonus. Look, I hope you have a
great weekend. If you're coming to the show on Saturday,
cannot wait to see you. Last Man tickets are available.
I think this, maybe like a pair left. Maybe internshoncomedy
dot com The doors open, I believe at six point thirty.
(09:49):
The after party is gonna be at Mosaic. Right and
power Plant cannot wait to see you. Their internsjooncomedy dot
Com have a fantastic weekend. I will see you on Monday.
It's a thought shit hour.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
