Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a happy Friday friend. Welcome to the Thought Shower.
Intern John is my name. Fresh off of opening Day
twenty twenty five, we did a live broadcast yesterday for
the NATS Hume opening downtown Navy Yard, DC. Very exciting,
it's a lot of fun. On Monday, we're doing the
(00:23):
opening day for the Orioles, which will be a lot
of fun.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Candin Yards opening day is always fun. You know.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We did a couple of times Cincinnati's opening day for
the Reds. That was a great time, just a good time.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Overall.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Vibes are good, food was good, weather or not great.
It was sunny but also rather cold. I've realized that
my Minnesota blood is leaving me. Like I used to
be able to excuse me if it was like sixty degrees.
Be out in shorts and be fine. No mar this
(00:55):
weekend hopefully doing nothing. That's the plan. This weekend is
to hopefully kind, to relax and reset because the next
two weekends it's gonna be out of town. Next weekend
go into Louisville. I'm very excited for this trip. Louisville
is are my favorite cities. I love the people there,
love the vibes there, and I just love walking around
(01:16):
the town. Didn't get a chance to go this past year,
and to be honest, like the last you know, a
couple of times I've gone had basically been work trips,
had been with the comedy tour. So it'll be nice
to go and not really have anything to do, just
people kind of relax and walk around and like reset.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So that's next weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Weekend after that, my brother, my dad, and I go
into New Orleans for a cigar convention, which I'm very
excited about. I went to this convention, I want to
say it was like four years ago, maybe in Vegas,
and that was really cool because I saw Connor McGregor's
might be his last UFC fight. It's one of those
(01:55):
things where a bunch of guys went out there and
then happened to be the same weekend as the McGregor
and I was like, you guys want to go, and
they said no, and I was like, well, I'm gonna
go anyway, Like this might be a once in the
night time opportunity. So I want to say, like thirty
minutes before the fight, bought my ticket went solo. And
that's the first time I went to a sporting event solo.
(02:17):
It's actually pretty cool, pretty pretty neat, and pretty cool
that got a mixed together. It's actually pretty cool because
you can just kind of enjoy it. Although with UFC
it's different because there's no color commentary inside the arena,
and like, I'm not the most technical person when it
comes to mixed martial arts, so I didn't quite know
what's going on with most of the stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
However, was a great time.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
All that to say, It's gonna be a busy, busy
couple of weeks, but I'm happy to be here with you.
I wanted to get into these the compliments every man
wants to hear, but rarely does. I have said this
on the show over and over and over again. Dudes
are not trained to get compliments. We as aren't and
(02:59):
we you aim to please though, so if it is
something where it's like, you know your man's you want
him to empty a dishwasher, if you compliment him, he'll
want to do it more.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Dudes are like dogs. We aim to please, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We do, we just like not really taught to, like,
I don't know, get that kind of praise.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I suppose one of them.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
According to psychologists, is saying, you make everything look so effortless.
They say. Some people shugger the way through challenges, but
not him. He makes everything look like it's almost too easy.
They say. Individuals who appear to effortlessly excel a challenging
tax often possess a combination of a natural talent and
dedicated practice.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I would just say for this, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Letting somebody know that their hard work doesn't go unnoticed,
you know what I mean. And it boosts the confidence
as well. I also say it is a huge compliment, like, hey,
everything you do seems easy, like you're really good a
lot of things. You know, if you say to him,
I know you're not the type to crack under pressure again,
(04:02):
you know. So far these two are kind of falling
under the ego inflating category.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But it is true. Though.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
It is true because again I can't say this enough.
Guys just want to please. We want to prove that
we can protect, we can provide, we can be steadfast.
And so when you say, I know, young crack under pressure,
it's almost like you're saying, like, I believe in you, really,
I guess when you get down to the basics of it,
you're saying I believe in you.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I know you're up for this.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
If you say you could charm your way, I have
a hostage situation. Yeah, i'ven't told that before. My second
grade teacher, sister Catherine complain to my mom once about me,
saying that she would get so mad at me and
so mad and so mad, and that I would know it,
and that I would then start putting the charm on her,
(04:52):
and then that would make her even more mad because
she would know is charming her. I mean, I know,
I dont want to brad great thing, but gold's sister Catherine.
You know if you say you're like a walking encyclopedia
of knowledge. Now again, I understand how all this kind
of seems like egostroken is the right word. But again,
(05:13):
like dudes like to be valuable. I think maybe I
read this somewhere too. It's like do Yeah, dudes, we
have value in being valuable and being sought out that way.
So if it is knowledge of something, whether it's a topic,
whether it's how to set a TV, fix a car, whatever,
that makes us feel like we're important and needed, and
(05:35):
dudes like to feel needed. So you're saying you're a
walking encylopedia of knowledge. You're saying, like, you have a
lot of information about something you know I want to
learn from. You know, you don't just take out space,
you own it. Oh I like this, they say. Some
people go into a room unnoticed, but not him. Whether
it's his confidence, presence, or the way he naturally draws attention,
(05:56):
he commands ever space is in without even trying. Pointing
this out validates his sense of self and reassures him
he's so when people admire in respect, they say, it's
not just about confidence, it's about the undeniable energy he
brings every situation. I just think that's good to know too,
because I think everybody doesn't necessarily know their own worth.
(06:16):
Sometimes I do think I've had friends be four who
are that friend and maybe in some ways I can be.
And I've told them before, like, hey, like people need
you around. You know, people need you around because you
lighten people's days. My friend Justin great example that justin
walks into a room and he kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Lights up the room. He steals the show. And you
need that, you know, you really do.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
If you say something like I always want someone like
you in my corner. Oh, that's so good, so so good,
they say, whether it's a real emergency or just navigating
life's unexpected twists and turns, he's the person you want
by your side. He's the pendable, calm under pressure, always
ready to step up when things get tough.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
They say. This goes beyond simple admiration. It's about trust.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It tells them, no matter what happens, you believe in
his ability to handle it, whether it's defending you, helping
you through a crisis, or it's been a steady force
in your life. I would again just say this too.
I think at our core, dudser are taught to be protectors.
So if you're letting somebody know that they are your protector,
or you trust them to protector, it's a huge, huge,
(07:25):
huge boost. I hope you have a great weekend. If
