Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a Happy Monday, friend, and welcome to the Thought Shower.
Intern John is my name. I am recording this in advance. Well,
I guess all the podcasts are done in advance, but regardless,
when this comes out on Monday, I will be at
Universal Studios in Florida with well myself and Sauce and
(00:22):
Rose and my brother Tommy's coming down for Universal's Halloween
Horror Nights. I'm very excited for this. They actually have
a radio station in Universal's like campus, so we're gonna
be doing the show from there this week, which is
very cool. But I'm excited for the Halloween Horror Nights
because they do it big, like the whole park becomes
(00:45):
Halloween themed and they have different like movies or shows
they center it around, like it's been Walking Dead one year,
it's been Stranger Things one year this year very cool.
Ghostbusters theme is one of them. A quiet place and insidious.
So I am again very excited for this. It's gonna
be a lot of fun to be down there. But
(01:05):
didn't want to miss out in the podcast. You know,
got a lot going on this week, hopefully hopefully the
bar I'm involved with opens this week. That's very exciting again.
As of this recording, it's supposed to be. Hopefully if
your fallon Long of Socials at intern Gon Radio, I'll
(01:25):
have more there for sure. But this is something that's
been going on for I mean really since December was
like the first kind of like idea of it, and
then you know, after going through the breakup, I'm like,
I'm gonna need a distraction. This seems great and it
has been. It's a crazy industry to get into and
to learn about, and I'm very excited for that. Then
(01:49):
hockey starts soon. My goodness, here we are, dude, the
last two months of the year crazy. I look back
at twenty twenty four, it could have been. I mean,
I'm gonna say a make or break year. You know,
I feel like in everything that I'm involved with been blessed.
(02:09):
That has been going pretty well. The show has had
the highest ratings we've ever had, very exciting. Podcast is
doing great, you know, Balmart's best podcast, Hockey doing good,
restaurant good. Maybe the social life, the personal life. That
could have been make or break in a way. But
I feel like, you know, we had a brush up,
we picked ourselves up. Here we are, We're doing it.
(02:31):
We're thriving, and then again this comes out. We'll be
broadcasting from Halloween hard nights. You know, the funny thing
is I I don't mind scary movies. I just don't
do blood that well. I don't know why. You know,
when I was in second grade my dad got really sick.
Part of me thinks that, like subconsciously, that's what it is,
(02:53):
and that's why I don't like hospitals or needles. It's
because of that. Like that to me probably makes sense.
Like I liked the Saw movie. I didn't like the
blood part of it, if that makes sense. I kind
of like the mystery of it and trying to figure
things out that way.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So Halloween to me very good.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Although I haven't had tricker treaters in the eight years
I've been in my place, maybe I bet you have
not reached double digits trigar treaters. So very exciting times,
even though again we're a little bit of waste from that.
But hey, happy happy Monday. Let me get to this. Huh,
the hopeless romantic fantasies that are unrealistic? Now, do I
(03:31):
consider myself a hopeless romantic? I think so.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
In a way.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I like doing the cute little things and planning dates
and doing things that your person feels special. I enjoy
that kind of stuff, So I guess in that sense,
probably I suppose number one of deck love at first sight.
They say that spark when you first lay your eyes
on somebody, it can be thrilling. Let's pump the brakes
(03:58):
calling you love. They say, real love is like a
fine wine. It takes time to mature initial traction. Yes,
love bookmarket for later. I do think, like any of
my ex girlfriends, like for sure I saw them, Oh
that person's pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah. But I do think I've been able.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
To separate the idea of like, oh, it's gotta be love.
I think, hopefully the perfect partner they say, mister or
missus perfect only exists in rom comms. Everyone's human. Humans
come with a sideo or quirks and flaws. Embrace them.
I think that's fair. I think that's also. You know,
(04:37):
people have that problem now with dating apps, where it's like,
because in theory you can put your criteria to exactly
what you think you need, I think you probably pass
up on people that would also be good for you,
you know what I mean, Like I guarantee you like
I've been on the apps. I guarantee you I've passed
on somebody and maybe because I didn't read the profile
(04:58):
the way who would have been like a good fit.
But just because they they didn't cross off whatever I
thought I needed. I'm sure that happens all the time,
reading each other's minds. Yeah, they say mind rating is
not in the menu. You speak up, share your thoughts
and feelings if you want the other person to react accordingly.
I do think I've said this before. It's like, you know,
(05:21):
no dude wants to be in the doghouse. No dude
wants that. So if you find that your man's in
the doghouse and he's acting like he has no idea
why he's there or that he's in there, he probably
has no idea. Yeah, I think if you're with somebody
and they care about you, you know, could you wait
and hope they figure out what's on your mind? Sure,
but if you just tell them, if they really care,
(05:43):
they'll adjust accordingly. You know, the idea of happily ever after,
they say, I kind of like this. They say, life
isn't the fairy tale. Happily ever after doesn't mean a
problem free existence. It's about sailing through the storms together
and coming out stronger. I do like that. They say.
That's not to say you can't stay happy and love
(06:04):
in the long term. You just need to be prepared
for bumps along the way. I do think that's one
thing maybe you don't realize until you get in like
your first serious relationship, where it's like, oh, like, just
because you said yes toedating me doesn't mean like the
cording's over.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You know. It's like, oh, we gotta keep working at
this thing every day. You know.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
It's weird realization. It's like, oh, we got a you know,
it's like a plant. Yeah, water, this thing pull weeds.
I should have picked another analogy because I don't really
know how to take care of plants, but you get
the vibes. The grand gesture. They say, love isn't always
about skywriting your feelings, or candle of dinner and Italian
villa villa offense, making cup of coffee for your partner,
(06:48):
a cup of coffee, cup of coffee for your partner,
or a hug autter a long day. Grand gestures are great,
but love lies in the little things else. This thing, too,
like the grand gesture, it's almost like you're kind of
expecting a grand thank you in return, if that makes sense,
(07:09):
Like if you're doing a grand jest or you expect
grand gratitude coming back your way. Whereas those little things
like a coffee, like cleaning, even like picking up a lunch.
I think that's like a really to me, it's like
that's something you're doing without expecting a grand response in return.
I think that kind of stuff adorable. I like doing
that kind of stuff too, like getting lunch and that
(07:29):
little things absolutely constant togetherness.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Being joining at the hip isn't a love requirement. Your
partner's not can join twins. According psychology today, it's healthy
to have me time. Yes, I dated somebody one too.
Didn't work in the summer, so they go at my
house all the time, which was fine, but like they
wanted to be around me all the time, or wherever
room I was in, they had to be there and
(07:56):
I couldn't do that. Dude.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That nearly drove Jesus on me. Again.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It was nothing like personal to them. I just can't
do that, dude. I need to be space space space man.
This last one is good too. Love conquers all which
you've heard before. We've all heard they say love is strong,
but it's on all conquering superhero. Real issues and differences
need more than love potion to save any Professional help
(08:22):
meets your understanding, and sometimes a decision to part ways
despite your adforts, there's times when love just isn't enough
to keep it together anymore, and that's the way the
cookie crumbles.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah. I talked about this with Molly. I think.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I mean, we loved each other, probably as much as
you as you can, or as much as we each could,
but in the end, like we still needed to go
our separate ways to kind of figure out things on
our own, you know which I'm grateful for now get
sucked at the time, grateful for now. But I think
that's a prime example of I talked about this when happened.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Could we have pushed through probably? Would we be as happy?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Isn't that the great thing about life? We have no
just gonna figure it out hopefully at the end. There's
a giant replay system. I saw something gos on TikTok
maybe where this person's like I believe hell is when
you die, you watch a replay of your life and
see all the what if decisions.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I'm like, oh God, that gave me anxiety.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Don't like that. Don't like that, not even for a
little bit. That sounds absolutely horrible. Listen, have a fantastic Monday.
If you get a chance to follow me, I greatly
appreciate it, especially with the restaurants stuff. I would love
to have you come out and see the spot. It's
