Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a happy Monday friend. Welcome to the thought Shower.
Intern John is my name. It was quite the weekend,
busy for sure. Landed well. First of all, delay flight,
never good start. So Friday went down to Nashville. My
nephew is getting baptized. My nephew slash godsn I was
gonna say god father, but that turns out that's my role.
(00:24):
Was got to the airport, you know, like thirty minutes
for takeoff time. Was very excited. My great, don't got
waste A lot of time flight gets bumped back like
two hours. Not so great. I would say. One of
the cool features about most airlines now is that you
can track the flight coming in, so you can see
like where your plane is. And it's not good when
(00:46):
the app says you bored in twenty minutes, But the
app also says your plane is currently in Huntsville, Alabama,
So you know, sometimes physics and time space continuum doesn't
work out. But we had a tiny plane on the
way down too. It's one of those one seat on
one side, two on the other, like tiny, one of
(01:08):
those ones where you couldn't even break a carry on
on the plane. It'd put underneath like if God had sneezed,
we'd be going down instead of landing. And Nashville is
supposed to be like two o'clock landing, like four point thirty.
Nashville traffic is horrendous. And I've said this before in
the show. Nobody's told Nashville it's popular yet, and that's
(01:29):
a huge problem, you know what I mean. Like my
parents have been there for five years, and obviously when
they first moved down there was pandemic times, but like
it is a little bit odd. It's like all these
people come in town and like the city doesn't quite
have the roads for it. Whatever. Took them like an
hour and a half to get to my parents' house
night one, and so Friday night it's always pizza night,
(01:51):
and my family vent traditions as long as I've been alive.
Literally went to my aunt's, had two slices of pizza,
went back to the hotel and passed out. Didn't even get
to see my radio friends because I was like, hey,
I'm exhausted, Like life's just been exhausting recently, traveling exhausting.
Oh good, Saturday's baptism, My big data shine. Don't want
to outshine the kid right, but I know, like dy
(02:15):
look good and your boy slaid, your boy slaid. Yeah,
I mean I finally got these. This is a tip
for fellas, I guess ladies who if you have a
fellow in your life. These fitted dress shirts where like
most stress shirts, like they aren't fitted, so it's like
it if they aren't like directly to your body, it
just kind of looks like it were in a blouse,
(02:36):
you know what I mean. These ones like are stretch
your material, so they're more like form fitting. Looked way better,
looked way better. And I'll say this, I said a
million times it's better have a thirty dollars suit that's
tailored than a five million dollar suit that's not. And
so like having these shirts I think are like ten
bucks each be more fitted in like form fitting versus
(02:58):
like a thirty forty shirt that's not can play difference maker.
I know, if this is bad luck, good luck outside
before got pooped down by a bird, pooped on by
a bird. So but overall, you know, I'll say this,
he was gonna a little bit fussy Jack, my nephew.
Now Uncle John was holding him, No, Sir held them
(03:19):
with the baptism afterwards, him and I homies, absolute homies.
So then we went to a baptismal shower thing afterwards,
and I stay for an hour and left. Now I
cannot suggest this enough to people. Once you hit your
limit of fun, leave, just leave wherever you are. Once
you've hit your fun limit, it's best to get out,
(03:42):
get out and get on. Then O Sunday had a
Thanksgiving my family. It was a lot of fun. Glad
we got a chance to do that as a family too,
which was lovely. And then lay it back here last
night around like nine o'clock and now here we are,
baby Thanksgiving week. Let's get into this and let me
hit this for your Monday. The things you'll hear in
a room full of people pretending to be smart. I
(04:05):
feel like this area. There's a specialty in this between
people trying to be smart also trying to seem like
they have power and influence. And I cannot say this
clearly enough. I don't care. I mean, I just don't.
And that's been That's the Minnesota in me. I don't know.
(04:26):
I've always kind of always, but I've learned through this job,
especially the people who have the most power in most
money don't talk about it. Remember meeting like the three
biggest people I've met, and this is like Ather Peak,
Will Smith, Kanye and Taylor Swift and the nicest people,
the most genuine people at least have seen at the time,
(04:47):
certainly and just you would never know they were billionaires,
you know what I mean. Now, on the flip side,
there's been artists who were douchers who aren't around anymore,
who try to act like they wore big superstars. I'm like, yeah,
that's it's not appeeling if they say something like bragging
about the books they're reading. I just finished reading this series.
(05:09):
I just finished reading that. Now there are people, I think,
who certainly enjoy reading books, but it's more so the
people that make you feel bad, like, oh, you don't
read the dictionary every day, you don't whatever, whatever, Oh
I don't even have a TV. I just read. It's like, okay, well,
Stranger Things comes down on Wednesday, So who's gonna feel
(05:29):
dumb then? Not me be watching I just finished a
weekend meditation retreat. That's kind of funny, they say. The
next phrase comes out of these self improvement department and
has dropped casually. As I mentioned, Vision and local grocery stores.
Meditation and treats have become the go to badge of
honor for anyone want to appear self aware and disciplined.
I suppose I could see that where it is like,
(05:52):
you want to seem so enlightened, you know, your third
eye is center and square, where it's like, all right,
but you're still a bad person, you know what I mean?
Why is it the people that brag about that kind
of stuff are still the biggest pos as we know.
I don't know. I'm really into crypto trans recently. Yeah,
they say when someone starts talking about cryptos, often when
(06:13):
the Arab mysteried intrigue, as though they're in a secret
that they can't talk about. In the financial world, I
just think that nobody really knows what crypto is. I
think that's fair. It's like the EFTs, don't they We're
EFTs right, No NFTs, Yeah, non fungible tokens a digital
(06:35):
art that everybody's like, oh yeah. But it's like I
remember saying, like, okay, but like if it's the mole Lisa,
I could just screenshot it, like well, no, it's different
because you do on the digital version. Like that just
seems like a way to launder money, and as far
as we can tell, that's exactly what it was, you
know what I mean. I see with the crypto thing,
(06:55):
people say it's sounding like they're smarter than they are,
you know, and I still think nobody really knows what
it is. I'm fluent in three languages. They say, speaking
multiple languages is obviously impressive. But when someone brings up
unsolicited and come across like a power play, you can
him casually slip it in the conversation, whope, and elevate
their intellectual status instantly. Yeah, I suppose like that's also
(07:19):
I don't know. I think it kind of depends on
situation in the person. I think some people it's like
you want to say, say something interesting, but yourself, that's
pretty interesting. Three languages like pour o K. Why you
know I've been practicing mindful eating recently. I don't mind
this unless you do it again when we're at the
bar and we get around of like Glizzie Towers hide social. Hey,
(07:41):
I'm actually doing mindful idio. But you better mind your mouth, bro,
you know what I mean. You don't have to make
it seem like you're better than us. Have a hot dog,
does it take a year off your life. That's the rumors,
there's no proof, but also like I'm gonna live to
be one hundred and fifty anyway, so give me the glizzy.
(08:02):
If they say they're currently a digital nomad, basically they're
not on social media, they stay off electronics, they do
all that kind of stuff. Again, I think sometimes people
say that expecting a round of applause, you know what
I mean, Like expecting me be like, whoa, that's amazing.
(08:23):
How how are you so much better than I am?
Where usually it's more so like, oh, so you haven't
seen any of the memes recently, you know what's going
on in the meme world, you know what I mean?
Like that is to me a big one. Again, I
think there's people who say it and it's like yes,
then they don't want it. But there's people that say
it where it's like I don't have social media. That's great,
(08:46):
give yourself around applause. Big week. This week Wednesday of course,
is a drinks giving, a high social It's the Wednesday
before Thanksgiving. You know, if you were in the era,
come out say hello. Thursday of course, Thanksgiving Friday Caps game,
so lockowing on make sure you follow along at Internsenre
Radios Thush hour
