Ep. 101 | The Problem with Geniuses 1:08:46

16d ago1:08:46

1:08:46

I define a genius as someone who effortlessly recognizes patterns that others don't, and can self-check themselves without an ego. They are continuous in their production of novel insights or works of art. They tend to be fluent in verbal and nonverbal languages and can combine them to express themselves or solve problems on the fly. They don't nee…

Ep. 100 | Embracing The Anti-Intelligence Era 1:27:43

26d ago1:27:43

1:27:43

I'm coming to terms with the fact that the west is pro-anti-intelligence. Dogmatic religions are dangerous, no matter how scientific they claim to be. What's the solution? Bunkers and VR. I didn't really talk about that in the episode, I mostly complained about dumb people and how I'm the next Einstein. Unfortunately I'll probably be Epsteined befo…

Ep. 99B | Intelligence, Language, and Mars 54:34

3M ago54:34

54:34

Have you ever wondered what is means for something to mean to something? What happens in the brain when it ascribes meaning to something? That's a tough thing to think about, let alone describe. How can something becoming meaningful if it cannot be described? What is our brain doing when it assigns meaning to something but can't think of the words …

Ep. 99 | Just Start Your Own Network 1:09:42

5M ago1:09:42

1:09:42

I never appreciated the difference between network and cable TV, and that the whole point of a TV network is to sell advertising. This might already be obvious to most people, but it wasn't to me because I never actually wondered why TV shows are created in the first place. It's to make content that grabs the eyeballs of a certain demographic for t…

Ep. 98 | Leave Puff Daddy Alone 1:15:28

5M ago1:15:28

1:15:28

Why do American liberals only care about abuse of power in arbitrary latitudes and longitudes? I'm pretty sure there are worse examples of people taking advantage of their power than Puff Daddy. But he's located in America so that for some reason makes it relevant. Same with Taylor Swift. People are hating on her for being a billionaire who wastes …

Ep. 97 | Warm up for another podcast 38:00

6M ago38:00

38:00

This is another podcast I recorded to get ready for something else. My podcast in and of itself is not powerful enough to do without some outside force that initiates me to do it. Doing someone else's podcast is a great example of such a force. I don't remember what I talked about at all on this one. But, I remember what I talked about on The High …

Ep. 96 | Warm up For Comedy Show 48:42

6M ago48:42

48:42

I recorded this episode purely to warm up my speaking voice for a stand-up comedy show I was booked on. I didn't prepare at all in the weeks leading up to the show by actually performing in public, so this is the best I can do to at least feel warmed up. There is no substitute for actually performing in front of an audience, but I had my hands tied…

1
Ep. 95 | The Kitchen is Fully Stocked 1:32:24

7M ago1:32:24

1:32:24

It's great to be back in front of the camera and terrible for the people behind it. And also for the people behind the microphone, as my voice is very annoying. In this episode, I catch everyone up on how I've been doing with ADHD medication, talk about using language models to improve my proficiency as a programmer, and a lot of long winded nonsen…

Ep. 94 | A Country United by Trump 58:35

9M ago58:35

58:35

With Trump back on the campaign trail the country is more united than ever. A lot of people don't like the guy, but that's because they're told not to like him. If you have no social life, and spend 90% of your time watching YouTube, you're definitely more likely to support him. Celebrities whose careers' peaked long ago are the least likely to int…

Ep. 93 | The Problem with Multicellular Organisms 1:35:12

10M ago1:35:12

1:35:12

Are multicellular organisms a scam? Like capitalism, our bodies enslave billions of cells to do our bidding. These individual cells take direct orders from the dictatorial nervous system, of which the brain is in charge of. What benefits are they receiving by working 24/7 in such a society? Sure, they get to survive for a few years at most, but wha…

Ep. 92 | Timing the Market Beats Time in the Market 1:04:28

11M ago1:04:28

1:04:28

I'm a contrarian investor with over two years of experience in the stock market. I've now been through at least one market cycle and that is enough to feel confident giving strangers financial advice. I live by the words of the late Charlie Munger, who famously said you make money sitting on your butt. I go against the common folk who say you shoul…

Ep. 91 | Comedians Who Day Trade ft. Michael Dragon 1:28:12

11M ago1:28:12

1:28:12

Comedian Michael Dragon joins me to talk about day trading the S&P 500 and other topics related to investing and finance. Usually people who are passionate about these topics aren't known to be the funniest people. Well times are changing, and thanks to r/wallstreetbets there are a lot more finance bros being born every day. Look out hedge funds, r…

Ep. 90 | The Psychology of Money 1:04:17

12M ago1:04:17

1:04:17

Going from poor to rich and then losing most of your wealth is very detrimental to a person's identity. I've been saying this for a while on this podcast, but it wasn't until I watched another guy's podcast who validated this idea. It's freeing to know that money is not the ultimate thing to chase in life. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yuUONIK…

Ep. 89 | Celebrities and Bathtubs Don’t Mix 1:04:33

1y ago1:04:33

1:04:33

There's a reason has-been celebrities are called "washed up" and that's because they spend so much time hanging out in bathtubs. These evil manmade pools have claimed the lives of many famous people in the past decade. We need to spread more awareness about the dangers of taking baths if you are a former star from the 90s. Who will be next to paris…

1
Ep. 88 | Two Years a Soberman 1:07:50

1y ago1:07:50

1:07:50

I've been sober from alcohol for two years and there hasn't really been much to show for it, other than not embarrassing myself in public as often. It helps that I rarely am seen in public. I've become a very private individual and can only relate to the upper elite class. This podcast doesn't count as being personal, as I don't think anyone listen…

1
Ep. 87 | Door Dashers Are People Too 1:04:30

1y ago1:04:30

1:04:30

Handicapped people tend to be better than average people because they were forced to adapt due to their shortcomings. The average person just smooth brains their way through life without evaluating anything. Being called a boot licker doesn't offend me because it's usually door dashers who call me this. I respect people to some degree by default, b…

Ep. 86 | Changing Ukulele Strings 1:03:36

1y ago1:03:36

1:03:36

I've got a full fledged look going called the natural mullet. I need more western shirts to go with my matured style. I am a guitar player and that includes ukuleles, since those are just smaller guitars with fewer strings. I prefer the lightweight version of the guitar that you can play in bed. The older the ukulele, the harder it is to change the…

1
Ep. 85 | The 2030 Problem 1:11:15

1y ago1:11:15

1:11:15

Trump was arrested and this makes him more attractive than ever as a candidate. Who wouldn't want to vote for an ex-president that went to jail for no real reason? In other news, I learned about Hikikomori, an advanced lifestyle invented by Japanese people. I used to think being a recluse was a bad way to live, now I'm convinced we are the ones who…

1
Ep. 84 | Rich People Matter 1:13:12

1y ago1:13:12

1:13:12

Tim is back and more eloquent and insightful than ever. This episode is more of a lecture on why Trump is a good leader, why imposing a wealth tax is a stupid idea, and why the oligarchy is not as evil as people make it sound. If you hate rich people, this episode will surely change your mind. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/00A6Ju5AlnA…

Ep. 83 | Chris D’Elia is Funnier Than Hitler 1:17:06

1+ y ago1:17:06

1:17:06

Being funny is a rare gift, and it can't be denied once it has been proven. Some comedy elitists claim that Chris D'Elia is not funny because he does silly voices and not the type of comedy that they were taught is legitimate in their circles. I can get not enjoying his comedy, but to deny that he's funny is simply wrong. Look up his older stuff on…

Ep. 82 | Out Reclusing the Brown Recluse 1:08:48

1+ y ago1:08:48

1:08:48

I'm a reclusive person living alone in the middle of Texas, and another reclusive species is moving in. I'm not willing to burn the house down, so I have to fight the problem by cleaning it. This is an arduous undertaking for someone who can barely get out of bed in the morning. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wrqgOL1cb0s…

1
Ep. 81 | Stockton Rush: Villain or Misunderstood Genius? 1:12:55

1+ y ago1:12:55

1:12:55

A lot of people have been piling onto Stockton Rush, claiming he was a bad person for supposedly not listening to the engineers he fired. That's very convenient for them to do now that he's dead and can't defend himself. I believe there are two sides to every story, and that Stockton might not be the one to blame for the implosion after all. Watch …

Ep. 80 | Ismay Did Nothing Wrong 1:10:17

1+ y ago1:10:17

1:10:17

J. Bruce Ismay caught a lot of heat for not going down with the Titanic, which I think is ridiculous. Just because other people died, why should he be shamed into isolation for surviving? The crypto market is stagnant and I'm stuck at home without a car during a heat wave. So there's not much else to do besides learn about shipwrecks and the Erie C…

1
Ep. 79 | Saving Animals With Crisco 1:10:23

1+ y ago1:10:23

1:10:23

I wouldn't listen to this while eating. I go deep into describing Texas wildlife that I've been encountering such as frogs, lizards, wasps, and spiders. There's currently a heat wave and I'm stuck at home without a car. Lord knows I'm not going outside and exposing my skin to the actual sun. I didn't move here to accelerate the aging process. I mov…

Ep. 78 | Dashcams are for Cowards 1:11:16

1+ y ago1:11:16

1:11:16

I finally got my comeuppance for driving without a dashcam in a city where traffic laws are optional. I put in my community service by hosting an open mic early in the night, and decided to drive into town only to get side swept while attempting a right turn onto Red River. I learned a lot about human psychology by watching drivers and pedestrians …

Ep. 77 | Don’t Buy The ”AI” Hype 1:07:47

1+ y ago1:07:47

1:07:47

I don't buy this AI hype one bit. It ain't gonna take anyone's job. It's just another fad like beanie babies. Folks are buying into tech stocks and it's just another cycle. I will be selling my NVDA stock while others are FOMOing in. I've been around long enough to learn how to profit. You want to profit from AI? Too late. The ones profiting alread…

Ep. 76 | Bad Sectors in My Brain 1:06:34

1+ y ago1:06:34

1:06:34

Nobody told me that SSDs only last around five years. I thought they were infallible storage devices that lasted up to thirty years or longer. Nope, turns out my three year old drive was suffering from over a thousand bad sectors and this is probably what was causing my computer to blue screen. I stupidly bought a new one with Amazon reward points,…

1
Ep. 75 | Exorbitant Prices for Non-absorbent Toilet Paper 1:16:05

1+ y ago1:16:05

1:16:05

This episode is for my hardcore fans who look to me as a leader. I may not be the most confident or well spoken influencer, but I have a more defined jaw line than Andrew Tate, and that's what really matters. My interests are all over the place, and I could never be dedicated to just one niche. That would get stale and I'm not trying to stoke that …

1
Ep. 74 | Fomo Induced Brainrot 1:03:32

1+ y ago1:03:32

1:03:32

Fomo is a dangerous drug that causes a deep pain in one's soul. These past few weeks I've been glued to my computer screen watching the crypto market in hopes of figuring out some way to benefit from it. While I'm bullish on certain projects, the market still seems overpriced compared to the utility crypto provides. Watch on YouTube: https://www.yo…

Ep. 73 | Crowder Burns His Last Pellet 1:14:40

1+ y ago1:14:40

1:14:40

A right-wing titan of broadcasting is immersed in a fiery tailspin. Steven Crowder's grill is out of wood pellets, and as the man of the house, it should be his decision who gets to take the car out and when. His wife's job is to perform wifely duties and answer to her man. Everyone in a relationship with Steven, whether personal or professional, s…

Ep. 72 | Would I Date a Walmart Shopper? 1:09:02

1+ y ago1:09:02

1:09:02

Does it make me a bad person to admit that I would probably not want to date a Walmart shopper? I don't think so. I have nothing against Walmart, or people who shop there. But there is certainly a correlation between shopping at Walmart regularly and low intelligence. I want my partner to say stuff that I find clever every once in a while. In other…

Ep. 71 | Castles Made of Sand 1:21:22

1+ y ago1:21:22

1:21:22

I'm starting to figure out what my niche is as a podcaster. I'm the niche. This week's episode is mostly about confronting internal darkness and how businesses are like sandcastles. I'm doing a lot of growing on this podcast. I'm maturing into the Tim Weichselbaum I am meant to be. A sweet, gentle, man. Thanks for listening. Watch on YouTube: https…

Ep. 70 | Making Chronic Fatigue Sexy Again 1:11:54

1+ y ago1:11:54

1:11:54

Some would argue that chronic fatigue is psychosomatic, and whether that's true or not, doesn't mean it isn't real. Being told that something is all in your head doesn't make the problem go away. It's got debilitating symptoms that are stopping people from getting out of bed, let alone reaching their dreams. I'm going to be the first singer to capi…

11:30:35

To celebrate 69 episodes I decided to go for 690 minutes straight. If you're going on a road trip to Oregon this podcast is for you! Sometimes it takes a few hours to get into the flow state. By hour seven, I was pretty warmed up. This high quantity content is for entertainment purposes only. Viewer discretion is advised. Video version: https://www…

Ep. 68 | How to Be a Good Narcissist 1:13:30

1+ y ago1:13:30

1:13:30

Being a narcissist is a lonely, depressing existence for about 99% of them. But the 1% who are getting everything they want are as happy as a clam. You've probably heard of them because they're famous. This episode is a regression back to how I was when I first started this podcast. No humility needed, let's get down to the bottom of what Tim, and …

Talha Usman is a comedian based in Austin, Texas. He was nice enough to stop by to make his podcasting debut and to discuss stand-up and show business. Talha Usman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talha15/ Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w04gXLkwjYEBy Tim Weichselbaum

Ep. 66 | Strengthen Your Prefrontal Cortex 1:11:47

1+ y ago1:11:47

1:11:47

I'm doing my best to train my brain to get its reward from the work itself, rather than the admiration that comes from it. That is probably for the best, since most of my work is not admirable. I'm happy with the progress I'm making on this podcast in terms of self-improvement, but I'm still having a hard time avoiding public embarrassment. Watch o…

Ep. 65 | Become Your Biggest Fan 1:03:21

1+ y ago1:03:21

1:03:21

How the heck you gonna expect anyone else to be your fan if you aren't even a fan of yourself? That's the main subject of this episode. Motivation to be an artist has to come from within. You have to believe what you are doing is fantastic, and maybe then other people will like it too. If you don't get enjoyment out of making the art, you can't be …

1:06:09

Thai Rivera is absolute Best LGBTQ Comedian in the World. He was kind enough to join me in my studio to talk about the benefits of working out, dog ownership, being your true self on stage, Milo Yiannopoulos, and a few other hot button issues. I was honored to have him as a guest. Thai Rivera on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/thairivera Full…

1+ y ago1:13:28

1:13:28

My guest this week and I have a tense conversation about his opinions on my personality and behavior. Michael and I have a complicated relationship. I have empathy for him, and we get along at times. This was not one of those times. Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhZPA_29i3IBy Tim Weichselbaum

Ep. 62 | Thanks for the Love 1:30:00

1+ y ago1:30:00

1:30:00

Michael Malamud and I work out the kinks in our podcasting relationship and discuss ADHD and medication, neurodivergence, and the pain of not getting things you think you deserve. It was a colorful episode where we look underneath the microscope at each other's psychology and way of thinking. Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhZPA_29i3…

Ep. 61 | Michael Malamud Greases Us With His Presence 1:08:21

2y ago1:08:21

1:08:21

Michael Malamud joins me as my first guest in a long time to create synergistic podcasting magic. I met Michael in Chicago many years ago in the stand-up scene and we have a lot in common. We've recorded a lot of podcasts in the past years, but not all of them have been released. This is one of the rare episodes that shall be released to the masses…

Ep. 60 | Taking off the Mask 1:03:38

2y ago1:03:38

1:03:38

I've decided to stop being a fake person on this episode and it was the hardest thing I've ever tried to do on this podcast. I'm more comfortable wearing a mask, both literally and figurately, even if it's the one Ye wears, because even that is better than being myself. I'm going through a very difficult period in my life mentally. I've stopped usi…

Ep. 59 | My Reluctant Return to Chicago 1:01:20

2y ago1:01:20

1:01:20

I finally decided to visit Chicago after moving to Texas a year and a half ago. I was reluctant because there are not too many things I missed about that place. It has a very cold climate this time of the year, and the politics of the people who live there are very skewed from reality. But I was pleasantly surprised by the warmth I felt from the co…

Ep. 58 | Arguing with Homeless People 1:06:32

2y ago1:06:32

1:06:32

I can complain for hours about how I don't like talking to disrespectful mentally ill people who refuse to take their meds. This time I kept it to around an hour of that. I also complain about women, ala Kevin Samuels, and talk about how even while on mushrooms, I'm still an a-hole. They just make me lean into it even more. Full episode: https://ww…

Ep. 57 | Bombing Like a Pro 53:39

2y ago53:39

53:39

I don't just bomb when I bomb. I leave a smoldering crater where the stage used to be. The energy of the room will never be the same. If the audience doesn't like me, I make it so they remember me forever. People are nice though, and usually don't tell me how bad I did afterwards. They just politely pretend I'm invisible. Usually just means they ar…

Ep. 56 | Give Life Hell 1:00:56

2y ago1:00:56

1:00:56

Life is hell, so you should return the favor by giving hell back to it. You only get so much time on this planet to do so. Might as well be memorable. I'm not saying you should do anything violent. That would make you a bad person and remembered in a bad way. Maybe you don't believe in good and evil. That's fine, but some of us here are medicated a…

Ep. 55 | I Don’t Know Who You Are 1:10:11

2y ago1:10:11

1:10:11

Don't be rude to other people in the same field as you, even if they are insufferable. It will only make you look bad. People won't forget you if you say something mean to them and suddenly gain some heat. That will make them resent you even more. Treat people how you would want to be treated.

1:18:05

The past couple of days have been rough, but I'm tough. I'm a survivor. It will take a lot to bring me down. I visited my parents for Thanksgiving and it reminded me that I'm thankful for the few remaining family I have. This was a bit of an emotional episode, but it ends on a high note.

The only guest who will appear on this podcast is Yeezus. Once I get Yhandi on the program, I will be open to having other high profile guests, like Elon Musk, etc. I'm setting my sights high. I'm currently the hardest working man in the Austin comedy scene, so I'm not worried about achieving this lofty goal. Kanye needs a friend like me, and I wil…
