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.

I took a plunge into the wall street bets meme stock BBBY. I enjoy gambling sometimes and I'm not ashamed to say this, because I only gamble with a small amount. I'm not a degenerate at this stage in my life. I'm a responsible god fearing American who doesn't want to bother anyone.

Texas is the Australia of North America, and I'm starting to question if I am tough enough to make it here. Nature is brutal and scary, and I had my first run in with a brown recluse. I also started on antidepressants, which are helping me cope with all this.

Kyle is my younger brother and he is visiting from Chicago. I got him drunk and then asked him to do this podcast. I'm very glad he agreed because I think we make a good podcasting duo.

This episode is about boring financial stuff like investing in index funds and building intergenerational wealth. In other words, how to be good at capitalism. I also check in on my progress with binge eating.

Jack Horner sits down to talk about the heaviness of sobriety, ADHD, Kill Tony, and many other topics, all of which resonated deeply with the themes of the podcast. I learned a couple new words.

One of the main topics of this podcast is self-improvement, and there are various things I'm trying to improve about myself. Right now my project is trying to overcome my undiagnosed binge eating disorder (BED). I eat to fill an emotional hole in my life, to the point of discomfort and shame. This occurs almost every day, and I'm getting sick of it. I need to work on treating my mental health if I want to be a professional comedian. I want to become fat adapted to hopefully clear up the brain fog that is stopping me from performing at my full potential. There's nothing worse than knowing you are not performing at the level you once were capable of.

I heard you were talking to so and so. Did he say anything about me? I need to know exactly what he said, word for word. This is the type of question you get asked when you're around people trying to climb the social ladder. I didn't think the Austin comedy scene would be so political. Too many Californians moved here that it feels like how people describe Los Angeles.

Ryan Joseph is a comedian from Miami, FL. He moved to Austin in 2021 and quickly rose to the top of the scene. I've been tracking his career trajectory since I moved here, so it was a pleasure having him as my first in-studio guest. We cover a lot of topics including cancel culture, Joe Rogan, and what it feels like to be jerked around by gatekeepers. He has a podcast called The Ryan Joseph Show, which you can subscribe to on YouTube.

I did a road gig with some of my favorite comics. I gotta step up my game and become undeniable so I can keep doing shows. Being an open miker for nine years is not good for ones self esteem. I was dealt a bad hand in life and deserve to have a successful career.
