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.

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 what happens after they retire? Do they get a pension? Our thankless brain is being serviced by these hard working machines at their complete expense. Single cell organisms have a much better quality of life.

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 shouldn't try to time the market. Screw that nonsense. The market is like the ocean. You can't fight it, but you can certainly choose not to set sail during a hurricane. I'm also a gambling addict who has been day trading 0 DTE SPX options for over a month. Hear all about it in this tremendous episode.

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, retail investors are becoming the new sharks.

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.

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 parish from the warm kiss of a bubble bath?

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 listens. These past few weeks I've been hyper focused on music production and options trading. Two of the most boomer hobbies in existence.

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, but if your job is to deliver other people's food I can't say I value your opinions anymore than the opinions of an octopus or a tarantula.

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 strings and keep it in tune. I also talk about my s*x traffi**ing agency in this episode.

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 have figured out that avoiding society is actually the better way to do it.

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.
