The Tim Weichselbaum Show
Tim Weichselbaum is a media mogul, comedian, podcaster and karaoke singer from Chicagoland. He is also his own agent, promotor, hype man, bodyguard, and driver (despite having epilepsy). Some day he will be a massive success. Or, he’ll stop doing it altogether suddenly, before becoming anything. That will be awfully embarrassing, considering some of the things he says about himself on this podcast. I don’t think there is a more self-confident person in the Austin comedy scene right now than Tim Weichselbaum. His whole act depends on it. He doesn’t do corny jokes about how he hates himself, and that is what makes him stick out compared to most comics. Very recently treated for crippling symptoms of ADHD, he is now in the process of becoming the super-comedian he always knew he had in him. All it took was doing this podcast about fifty times before he discovered that untreated ADHD was the only thing stopping him. This podcast is not just meant for entertainment or even necessarily to be consumed. It is a journey. A document of a short man’s long life. Should someone ever write a biography about Tim Weichselbaum, be rest assured that this podcast will be the most quoted source. Unless it’s a really sh*tty biography. Tim is an introvert. He rarely commits to friendships with anyone, and that is why he lives in a hobbit hole in near total isolation. Sure, he doesn’t scoff at the idea of interpersonal relationships, but it just isn’t a priority for him. He’s more invested in himself at the moment. When he finally reaches his full potential, then it will be time to start finding the real kind of friends and family he’s look for. Topics covered on the show primarily revolve around becoming a professional stand-up comedian, and the trials and tribulations that go along with that process. It took Tim ten years to decide if he was really good enough to be an entertainer. He isn’t just a stand-up comedian after all, he also can sing, dance, and act. But does Tim believe in himself? Let’s find out on this show. He also covers other interests such as mental health, self improvement, and finance/investing. He performs stand-up comedy in real life using the stage name Timmy Gusto, as an attempt to conceal the fact that he’s slightly Jewish. I wonder if it’s possible to get canceled from iTunes just for the description. Any who, you can follow @TimWeichselbaum on Instagram, his current social media platform of choice, to see reels and other enjoyable snippets of his creative output.

The holidays caused me to go into a dark spiral. I fell off the wagon when it comes to my diet. I started ordering unhealthy food via DoorDash every day, and now I'm trying to cleanse myself of this habit. To accomplish this, I'm currently doing a 72 hour fast. It's very hard not to fantasize about destroying myself with food. I have a terribly strong craving for salted bagels.

I'm feeling a bit winded this week, but that didn't stop me from yelling on this episode. I've been quarantining (mostly) while sick with Omicron, but that actually made me feel better compared to my baseline symptoms of depression. So it was a nice distraction, and gave me something else to focus on. Matt Perez also tested positive in the last week, and joined me again to follow up!

I catch up with Matt Perez who I met in Chicago when I ran a thing. We are both currently going through the same sort of trip, so I thought it'd be fun have him on to help each other get through it. We share a lot of opinions that would be considered controversial, if anyone were to actually listen to this.

Lots of inner rage is burnt off on this episode. I am finally a licensed driver in Texas, so I've inherited the driving style of other Texans. The comedy scene here is rather bad, but I'm becoming determined to gain clout. I got booked for my first show in Austin, and I started teaching English to a woman who lives in a different country.

This episode is absolutely filthy. I'm not proud of it. I mostly brag about being well off (again), trying to get laid on Snapchat, and driving 100 miles to do something with a stranger, only to turn around at the last minute out of fear for having to be naked around another dude.

On this episode I talk about almost falling for an obvious dating scam. I almost drove to a strange woman's house in the middle of the night but flaked out after she asked for "collateral." In brighter news, I made it all the way through No Nut November without succumbing to the quick dopamine release of being a coomer.

This past week I have been going hard on the dating apps. So far nothing has come of it. But I'm learning it's important not to chase after the wrong person. You have to know your own value before just giving away. Also talked about buying a second car, and what it's like to run an open mic.
