Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Wednesday friends, Welcome to the Thought Shower. Intern John
is my name. I apologize for a no podcast on Monday.
Life's been a lot recently. I bane well, so the
restaurant that I'm involved with, Hide Social and Clarendon, has
been taking up basically every weekend for the last six weekends.

(00:23):
I bent at the bar essentially every Thursday, Friday, Saturday
and most Sundays. As you do, you launch a business,
you gotta be there to see it off, and for
me as well, it's a little bit different, like learning
and new business. Obviously, I have been a patron of
bars for a while, but having to own one a

(00:43):
little bit of a different vibe. So yeah, it's been
a lot. And with hockey starting up to like my
week this week, it is crazy. So like Monday, we
had practice, Tuesday, had a work event today, game, Thursday, practice,
Friday game and then guy go back to the bar. Saturday,

(01:05):
got a video shoot for the bar, then gotta go
to the bar.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's just a lot, yeah, I mean, but it's good though.
It's good.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
People always ask sometimes like how I do so much,
and I always say like, if I wasn't this busy.
That means things aren't going well, you know, And that's
kind of the reality of it. It's like if I
was if I had a lot of free time, that
means I'm not in demand. My time's not in demand.
That's not a good sign. So been trying to adjust him,

(01:34):
been trying to you know, catch up on sleep and
like keep going to the gym, which has been like
difficult as well. But hey, here we are not gonna
plain happy Wednesday. I have done so much to do still,
I got no idea what I'm wearing for jingle Ball,
got my own Christmas party in two weeks. I seen
like a month long vacation. I think that's it. A

(01:55):
month to do nothing. But also I want the whole
world to palm for me, you know what I mean.
So that way everybody's paused. I come back rested, so
I'm back on top, so to speak, not that I've
ever been on top.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Pause. Um, he hit the idea. So and then it
sucked to you. I think it was.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
On Tuesday morning, Yeah, Chewy threw up, went to the
bathroom both ways in the house at like ten, and uh,
no one else started cleaning but myself obviously. And that's
one of those things where you can't leave that mess
for the next day. You know, they seems to be
doing better now, so I don't know if it was

(02:38):
just I don't know because one time Saucy used to
the howsit for me and she had mentioned that his
stomach was really bad growling, so she brought him to
the vet and the Vet's like, oh, he's fine. He
just sometimes won't eat his food because he wants attention.
My son, my first born. Could you imagine him being

(03:02):
just drawn a gay attention? I certainly can't. Anyway, What
else is new? But trying to watch more stuff on
Netflix recently? You know, I have like all the streaming
services and it's a waste, it really is, and like
there's no good reason to have them all.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I mean for our job, like for the show.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I try to have like everything just so there's we
can always be up to day on stuff. But like,
I feel that this has not been good stuff recently.
I'm excited for well that's not true. Uh, strinkings are
really good. I'm excited for that. But what's the one? Oh,
my god, this podcast is over the place, as I apologize,

(03:45):
my god, the one with the Ben with Ben Wyatt
from uh Parks and rec what adam severance severance. I'm
excited for that to come back. Anyway, here we ask
getting this thing, the shady habits that reveal somebody cannot
be trusted. I try to keep my guard up around
folks a lot, mainly all the time, just because I

(04:08):
don't know. I feel like life is weird sometimes, and
I think I try to have that kind of guard up.
The first thing the experts say is they're quick to
gossip and backsab. I've always thought this, like, if somebody's
quick to tell you gossip about somebody, to me, that
means like they're just as quick to gossip about you,

(04:28):
like easily they're going to talk about you as well.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
And I don't like leaks.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
As the kids say, I'm not a big fan of
not being able to trust somebody in the circle.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Like for me, it's kind of a one strike policy.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
But yeah, I think that makes sense if they constantly
dodge accountability, Yes, Corey, the experts some people are allergic
to admitting fault. When they mess up, it's never their fault.
It's always somebody else's problem. One And I said it
on this podcast millions of times it's so much easier
to just admit when you're wrong, because you take away

(05:01):
that power. If you just admit that you're wrong, you're
good to go. You know, you've proven you can be
an adult. If they break promises repeatedly, it's another one,
especially if I think if they actually say they promise
and they do it. I think that sometimes people are
so quick to sacrifice their name for a little bit

(05:23):
of peace, you know what I mean, Like they'd rather
lie to your face, not realizing that you're gonna remember
that down the line, than just tell the truth.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think that's a misstep.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
If they keep secrets that shouldn't be kept ooh, say,
it's one thing to value privacy, but another high important information.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Others have a right to know.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
When someone's unnecessarily secretive, it raises questions about their motives.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I think that's fair.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Where it's yeah, if they're doing hiding something I guess
to harm you, you know, or not given the information,
Like if you were invited somewhere and they didn't tell you, Yeah,
that's a bad sign. It all comes to the lay eventually.
If they only show up when they need something, that
is a sign they can't be trusted. Yes, they your
best friend with the na favor, but vanish into the

(06:14):
air the rest.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Of the time.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
That was always like when I was living in Minnesota
and we'd have a jingle Ball in Minnesota as well,
and like I would get you know, come jingle Ball season,
so many people would reach out that I hadn't talked
to you in forever, and I was like, I knew
right away when I get the text, like hey, I
was like, I know what you're asking for, and the
answer is gonna be nah.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah. I mean, that's just not gonna be a working
for you. Boy.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
If they play the victim card excessively. I can't see
these types of people because to me, it's like, Okay,
I know, we probably can't even talk, can't be friends.
They say, some people always have a sob story ready
blaming everyone but themselves their problems. To me, that's an
odd thing when you see that with a like adults

(07:02):
who are always the victim and like there's a pattern
of bad things happening to them and it's never even
remotely their fault. That to me is one of the
most giant red flags because I always go back to
the world doesn't care enough about one person to ruin
one person's day. Like I could be like, man, the
world's really out to get me. But it's like, now, John,

(07:23):
the world doesn't care enough about you to solely go
out of its way to ruin your day.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
It could just be you.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, if they constantly throw people under the bus. The
experts say, when the chips are down, some people do
whatever it takes to say themselves, even if that means
betraying others. This willingness to throw people under the bus
shows they're not loyal or reliable.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
That to me isn't good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
I've always kind of goes back to by said earlier,
like take an accountability. But I've always noticed that too.
If somebody is quick to throw somebody of the bus,
that to me is always a huge sign something's off,
especially that if that person isn't there and you know
they can't defend themselves, but their insolant reactions. Togy's not
my fault, that's that's Tim's fault. Like ooh, because now

(08:09):
Conwan asked him, you know what I'm saying. Look, I
appreciate you listening. I know it's a bit of a
shorter podcast today. Again, I'm this tread and water over here,
have a fantastic Wednesday. We'll see you Friday.
