Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a Happy Monday friend. Welcome to the Thought Shower.
Intern John is my name. Was a weekend, to say
the least, let's get into it. So Friday there was
a singles event at the bar. I'm involved with Hide Social,
so went out for that. I was not involved in
the actual event was more so they're just kind of
watching and supervise them. Got to try some of our
(00:21):
new food new smash Burger Fire. It's fantastic. It's it
comes in like a pool of cheese, so like it's
really good. So there was that, and then on Saturday,
was very tired from night before, when got crabs my
buddy Shane. We did like the the Cajun crab type
(00:43):
vibe where it's like it comes in kind of like
a sauce almost that makes sense. It comes in like this,
like almost like a bowl and there's like juices on it.
So it's not like dry crab. It's wet crab. That
I'm not saying that right, Yeah. Then Sunday back to
the bar, did a bunch of video shoots from the menu.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Then I hung out a saucefu little bit watch football.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Thank God, I'd not make the mistake of staying up
to watch the Minnesota Vikings game because they played like
ass got blown out. I've said this before, I'll say
it again. The East Coast is the worst time zone
for sports games. It's the worst. Minnesota didn't play until
like eight twenty pm. That was not gonna work. Made
(01:32):
that mistake last time. This one not so great this week.
That was gonna be a little intense. It's gonna be
a test of your boys and Durrance. So later on today,
got meeting downtown. That's not so bad. Okay, that's not
so bad. Meetings at five I think not ideal time wise.
(01:54):
It probably won't get back home until maybe eight. I'm lucky.
Tuesday gonna be on Fox five again, very exciting. Wednesday
is where things get a little crazy. So we're gonna
stay in a hotel Wednesday, Thursday, Friday because we have
a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Wednesday, got to go to a sales.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Client meeting thing in Baltimore, and I think that's at six,
So I'm gonna leave probably around like three thirty to
get there because you know me and time. Thursday doing
DCW fifty TV, very exciting. Then Thursday evening we have
the show Happy Hour at Hide Social five to seven
pm with your first chance at jingle Ball tickets. Then
(02:36):
Friday doing TV for ABC. So this week TV schedule
Fox CW ABC gonna be a lot. Thursday is the
show Happy Hour, Hide Social. We have jingle ball tickets
every thirty minutes. That's very exciting. And now we are
a week away from the Chewy album coming out and
it's a weird feeling when you have I have a
(03:00):
project that's done, and you know you put a lot
of time into it. In this case, who probably since
March maybe is when we started working on the project,
might say we I mean me and my brain and
now here we are in September, so I guess like
six months really of you know, the writing process doesn't work,
(03:22):
recording it, editing it, and now it's done. It's just
a matter of waiting for it to come out and
hoping it raises a bunch of money for the Warrior
Canine Connection. That as the ultimate goal as they train
service dogs to be well service dogs for veterans.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So the album is out next Thursday.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You can pre order right now, and be honest, the
pre order is what determines if this thing goes number one.
It would be the greatest accomplishment of my career to
have this thing a number one for Chewy. I don't
think anything come close to that. If you get chance
to the pre order the album six by it's clean,
I means sure that you can get it Interngoncomedy dot com.
(04:05):
Let's get to this for you Monday. The behavior is
a signal a man is going nowhere fast, aka, he
is a loser. Let me hop him starting with if
he's always blaming others. When a man constantly points the
finger others, it's a major sign he's not taking responsibility
for his own life. That often means he's not willing
(04:26):
to look in the mirror recognize his own flaws or mistakes.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I would almost say too.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Bigger picture that shows is he sees mistakes as a
sign of weakness, like maybe grew up in a household
where nobody took responsibility, or grew up in a household
where everybody played the blame game. Because to me, I
said before in the podcast, taking responsibility is easy. This
is it takes the power out of being wrong when
(04:53):
you say, yeah, I was wrong, there it is you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Lack of ambition and goals.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, a man without Claire goals or ambitions often ends
up stuck in the same place year after year. It's
important to have a vision for the future, or at
least some idea of where he wants to go. I'll
say this, having been a guy my whole life, having
dude friends, having a strong father figure, look up to,
coaching boys, when going to an all boys high school.
(05:21):
To me, it's odd when a dude doesn't have goals
or ambition. It's odd. I don't know what it is.
And maybe it's because again just being surrounded by strong
men and then the all boys school and now coaching,
like we always kind of preach like, fellas, you need
to have something to look forward to, like it's good
(05:43):
to especially in hockey. It's very easy where you know,
if the championship game is on us just around Valentine's Day.
So when the season starts in October, I'll say, fellas,
we need to work every single day for February fourteenth,
or whatever it is that's gonna be our end goal.
I'll show them the white board like here we are, now,
here's the fourteenth. We need to get to here by
(06:03):
then to me, for a dude to have no goals
or ambition. Somebody didn't teach him, And let's be honest,
you do not want to be involved with that poor
financial management. If you can't manage his finance as well,
it's a sign he might not be ready for the
responsibilities to come with adulthood. Yeah, financial literacy is crucial
in today's world. Without it, he's likely to struggle with
(06:26):
debts and savings. I think that's fair again kind of
ties and everything else, like that's yeah, you need to
know how pay your bills, pretty pretty simple. No interest
in personal growth. I would not be able to be
friends with a person like this, say, personal growth is
a lifelong journey. When someone shows no interest, they're bound
(06:46):
to get stuck. A man who's own willing to learn
and evolve is likely going to find himself in the
same place time and time again. To me, the fact
that they say he has no interest in growing, What
person do you know has no interest in getting better
at whatever they do? Like, not only just for them,
(07:07):
but for their person, for their family, their friends. To me,
it's like, I don't want to be around somebody who
has no interest in being a better version of himself
at that point, what do you do it?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's like if you if you've leveled up all the
way he can, you might as well hope the aliens
can get you.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like, Hey, aliens, I've done all I can. Come and
get me. Please.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Avoiding commitment, they say, avoiding commitment in various areas of
life is a telltale sign as someone who's not ready
to make progress. Whether it's about relationships, work, or personal goals,
commitments essential for success. It shows he's willing to put
the effort in and make sacrifices for what he wants. Yeah,
I think even aside from the relationship part, is somebody's
(07:56):
anti commitment. How can you trust them? You know, you
may plans with somebody, You want to do a trip with somebody,
boy's trip, girls trip, whatever. If you can't count on
them for one thing, it's not really a friend, right,
I've said before. If you can't you can't count them
for anything, not really a friend. I think that's fair.
(08:18):
You know, why would you want to be involved with
somebody like that?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Too?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
If they avoid difficult conversations, they say, avoiding difficult conversations
is a sign of immaturity and unwillingness to face challenges
head on. They say communication is the corner set of
any successful relationship, be it personal or professional.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, obviously.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And to me, the analogy I always give folks, it's like,
you know, it's like if you are running with a
sprained ankle, like maybe you can do it for a
little bit, you can ignore the nagging pain. Eventually the
ankle is gonna break. Eventually it's gonna break, and you're
really gonna be suck. And I think too, it's almost
more so disrespectful as somebody is trying to have that
(08:59):
conversation and you're ignoring the conversation or putting it off
or making it seem like they don't need to have
say conversation. That to me is the worst part. I
hope you have a great Monday. I hope you have
a great Monday again. Couple of things. If you get
a chance, please please please pre order my Chewy Forever album.
(09:19):
It's six bucks. The Benefits the Warrior Knine Connection. The
album itself comes out next Thursday. It is a clean album,
can listen to the car, can listen wherever, and it's
gonna save some lives hopefully, you know, Warrior Canine connection
with training service dogs to be puppies to be service dogs.
They're doing a lot of great things and would love
(09:40):
to help out more animals, more veterans in Chewy's name
by need your help Internshoncomedy dot com. But don't forget
Thursday a special show, Happy Hour, Hide Social and Clarendon
will be out there with jingle ball tickets every thirty minutes.
How cool is that? All the info yms Radio dot
