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.

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, should know that they are not to step out of line. I'm embarrassed for him, but will continue to drink from his mug until it goes out of style.

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 news, I'm on a lean budget so I might have to start shopping at Walmart.

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.

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 capitalize off this condition, then I'm going to plateau creatively once I have positive cash flow.

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.

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 other Jewish men really want out of life.

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.

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 too surprised if other people don't enjoy it, either.

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.
