Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a happy Monday friend. Welcome to the Thought Shower.
Intern John is my name. It was a weekend. First
of all, First of all, we officially have the number
one comedy album in the world. How crazy is that?
So Friday woke up, had to go walk the dogs
(00:23):
is at the hotel and then saw I woke up
r at number three. I'm like, well, that's very exciting.
Number three on the comedy charts. That's very cool, ahead
of some very big names. And then got to the station,
did the podcast, and then by like four am we
hit number one officially, which is it's crazy. It's crazy.
(00:45):
And it's been number one all weekend, ahead of like
m Sandler, Nate Bargatsy and Bo Burnham. And I haven't
quite had chance to take it all in yet. I'm
trying to do a better job of that too, because
my mom I intend to go to Okay, we hit
this milestone. What are we doing next? You know, what
(01:06):
can we do next to do the next big thing? Well,
can't go higher at number one, So I'm really just grateful,
very grateful. I have no idea how much money it's
raised yet, I've not gotten that information yet.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But the idea that a radio kid.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
From Minnesota with a speech impediment can get number one
comedy album in the world on iTunes and Amazon. It's
not because of me. I'm fully aware of that. It's
not because I'm just so funny that duh, it went
number one. It's because of listeners. It's because of you
support in the album. You can stream the album for free,
(01:46):
by the way, too, that also helps things out. But yeah,
once it hit, I like fell the floor in the
studio and was kind of just like, first fell on
my knees, then fell the floor and just kind of
sat there for a little bit and I just kind
of let all sink in that this is bigger than me, obviously,
(02:08):
but to have a number one charting album in the
world is.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I never thought what happened, obviously, and I'm still trying
to process it. But man, it feels cool, Like, yeah,
it's cool, dude, you know what I mean. It's it's
a pretty cool flex. And then to see the other
names on that list, like right now, it's like ahead
of Adam Sandler, which he's one of the funniest people
of all times. So I'm just very grateful you can
(02:37):
still buy the album Internjooncomedy dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I don't know what happens next. I do know I'm
doing one last gig. I have a New Year's gig
at the gay Lord, Big Night DC. The gay Lord
is National Harbor, doing Sam comedy there with a good
friend Kyle Crummer. And that's the last thing scheduled. I
do not plan on doing shows next year, but thank
(03:04):
you dude. And then we had a great weekend at
the bar too. So it's just been like it's been
some highs right now. You have some really big, big highs.
The restaurant I'm involved with in Clarendon Hide Social, we
have a really good kind of like here we are weekend.
You know, we've been opened now for about four weeks.
People love the food, people love the drinks, people love
(03:25):
the atmosphere. Got a really good group of guys. I'm
in on with that too, And so man, it's just
been fun. And this weekend going to Mexico for a
friend's weddings. So just kind of a lot of stuff
going on. Also our first live podcast at Jimmy's Famous Seafood.
My goodness, we got a lot going on. Let me
get to this stuff for your Monday, the telltale signs
(03:48):
it may be too late to save a relationship. Now
we've all been in this spot before. You're in a relationship,
you can kind of tell us getting to the end.
I'm lucky that I luck nod word. I have experienced
this on both ends I think. I mean on my
previous relationship, I don't really think this applies, but on
(04:10):
the ones before that, it's like, oh, yeah, for sure,
my previous relationship we had a pretty good split, I guess,
relative to what you can say. Starting with talking feels
like a job interview. Yes, With my old old girlfriend,
talking started to feel like a job interview, especially towards
(04:32):
the end where it's like, hey, I really don't like you.
I think like I don't even like you as a friend,
you know what I mean. Like it's gotten to that
point where it's like you would dread having to talk
to them at the end of the day because it's like,
I don't even want to know what you did today,
you know. I already feels like we're here, crossofs in boxes,
(04:54):
move on. If resentment is always in the room, Yeah,
they say it's normally good annoying with people, even the
person on the most When every little thing triggers an
avalanche of pass grudges, it's not healthy, no doubt. Again
with an ex ex girlfriend kind of felt like this,
especially because wes kind of lived different lives and that
(05:14):
she had never moved out home like she lived at
home and so like nothing against that, of course, but
didn't quite understand bills and especially like then, and that's
when I first had moved here, Like, didn't quite understand
why I had to work so hard induce so many events,
even if I wasn't paid for it for the show. Now.
(05:35):
Luckily my ex girlfriend, most recent girlfriend, her parents came
from radio, so she understood that, but with previous access.
Yet it was kind of like you walk into the room,
you can feel tension, you know, if you feel relieved
when they're gone. Man say, alone time is important, but
you find yourself genuinely relieved every time they walk out
(05:55):
of the door. That's telling. They say your homes you
feel like a with them. If you feel more at
peace when they're not around, their presence adds tension. It's
worth questioning why. Yeah, again, I'll get that, But I
also too, You know, I had an ex girlfriend who
didn't had summers off, had summers off, So in the
(06:16):
summer she'd be at my place nearly every day, and like,
what always need to be next to me? And why
I appreciate that. It's very nice. I need alone time,
especially after the show. I just need to be like
by myself for a little bit. And so that was
like it was like a Okay, I got done doing
the show. Now I have to go home and entertain her,
(06:37):
and like, especially towards the end, didn't want to do that.
You know, if you imagine life without them a lot, obviously, yeah,
they say, we all have the what if moments, But
if you catch yourself daydreaming about life without them on
the regular, there's a reason. It's one thing to think
about your own independence, another think about imagining a future
without them brings relief or worse excitement. Yeah, I think
(07:02):
that has Like towards the end of every relationship, it
is like, what will this be like without? Could I
do better? Could I be happier one hundred percent? If
the we has turned into me versus you one thousand percent? Again,
I'm kind of lucky. I have a good comparison a
bad one with my most recent act we are really
(07:24):
good at fighting, Like we rarely ever gotten arguments, but
we are really good at not me versus her, but
me and her versus the issue.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
She has psychology background. I think that kind of helped.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But yeah, so actually it was a little bit different
and because of that too, like we resolved issues really quickly,
like really quickly. But I've been into like with other
relationships where it was always yeah, me versus them, and
then I remember this one time it was a clearly
black and white issue where she was one hundred percent
in the wrong. I don't remember what it was, but
(07:58):
I remember being like, wouldn't apologize, And remember saying like, hey,
all you do is say sorry and we can move on,
and she wouldn't do it. I'm like, this is not
gonna work if, like you can't apologize when somebody is
like completely completely wrong, what are we doing If you
have the same fights on repeat? Yeah, they see everyone fights,
(08:20):
but if it's the same one with no resolution site,
it's more than just disagreement.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It's a pattern.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And as signed the breakups around the corner, especially if
it's a fight about something in the past, because at
that point it's like, what can you even do to
make up for it? What can you even do if
it's something where like uh I they say too, like
if you get cheated on and you get back together
with your person, like that, you're kind of putting a
(08:46):
lot of the weight on you because you have to
forgive that person and like you can't throw it back
in their face, like if you if you were cheated
on and you forgive them, like you're saying, like it's okay,
we can still move on together. That's why I've heard
I've never been that situation before. I can't imagine the
final sign. It's too late to say the relationship if
(09:07):
your happiness is gone, Yeah say it's hard to admit,
but it's most important. If your relationships become more of
a stresser than a source of joy, it's time to
take a serious look at why.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Again.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I've been blessed to have both sides of that spectrum.
With my most recent X, we're very happy. Even at
the end with previous exces, it was kind of like
we had invested so much time, so we don't want
to waste have feel like we wasted our time?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Or's we're already you know several years in and you know,
I don't want to waste time. But then it's like, hmmm,
I'm a pretty good person. I genuinely believe like I
deserve to be happy. I'm not happy, and I think
when I broke up, I'm pretty sure that's what I said, like, hey,
I'm just not really happy anymore. Thank god I did it.
It was a rough for a little bit. Look where
(09:58):
we are now. You know that was you years and
years ago, but like things got better. So the the
motto of the show has always been happy, healthy relationships.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I want that for you. You deserve that. If you
get a.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Chance to get the album, you still can't internship on
comedy dot Com.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We will see you on Wednesday.
